Get me a freaking auto!

From the Quantum Fiber Studio, this is Brock & Sog on Seattle Sports. Rock Ewerd is my hero. James Buehurt just punched me in the kidney. We're going to give you what I'm morning. That really worked that way, Sherm. This is a show that has my name on it. It's kind of tough, though. Now here are your hosts, Brock Eward and Mike Salk. Hello! Hello! Hello! All right, fine.

I'm Lauer here. Now here are your hosts, Brock Ewart and Mike Salk. Hello! Hello! Hello! All right, final hour here of our morning. Shannon's going to join us in a little while. We'll do that at 9.30. She's otherwise occupied with Tucker right now. They're hanging out. There's treats. There's back scratches. It's a whole deal over there. So we'll talk to Shannon Brock in 30 minutes. Just to kind of catch up on our couple of days of interviews and talks and all that. Yesterday, I mean, Brennan Donovan and Dan Wilson and Rick Riz and Shannon, of course. Today we had Cal Raleigh. I'm going to talk a little later to Logan Gilbert. We'll do that after the show today. Am singer, divish. I know, no, there are a lot of people. And then I think we'll probably start to have a couple more players over the next few days. I think we've got Julio set up for early Thursday morning, which should be great. So we're kind of working through all of that right now. What's jumping out from the group that we've talked to?

Well, it started with Brendan Donovan yesterday and the amazing cuts that Moro and Justin

make as they work their butts off down here, Salk. We and we watch some baseball. Their day

doesn't end. They sit and they cut and they put videos together and they do all the amazing

work that they do. And Brendan said it yesterday to start the whole the whole shebang and he's gonna

probably every day somebody's going to say it and that is we're not afraid to say

world series we're not afraid to say it like I know that's taboo I know like oh oh the

weight of expectations oh you put yourself out there I know Mr. Stanton did it with Bump and Stacey a couple

years ago, like after, you know, the playoff drought and everything else. And at that point, okay,

that's fair. I mean, Julio's a stud and Cal's playing every day and your rotation's awesome. And

it wasn't misguided by John, but it's like this feels so much more substantial and sturdy because there's so many more answers. Right? There's so much more. What are you laughing at? What? I'm trying to figure out what is going on there. He's just warming up the rotators. These guys have so many interesting moves and things they do. But that was one I haven't seen. That's a new one? was like a full wiggle no it's like a speed bag with the uh with the weighted ball you'd call whatever you want

but that was something i've never seen before sorry i didn't mean to distract you no just you know

there's like a sturdiness to the world series expectations that we have never felt here so

i mean it just i I think, flat out.

Because it's not the first time we've heard the Words World Series while we're here.

It's not the first time there's been high expectation.

It's not the first time.

I mean, for real, not just the believe big silliness from 2010.

Like, there have been other years and coming off the playoffs and the next, like,

there were some years of some real, like, hey, now, there were still ifs. If the lineup can just be league average, if this guy can just hit the back of his baseball card. If, if, if, and this year, again, we've said it a bunch of times. Not as many ifs. Not as many ifs, a lot more expectations. We expect this to happen. We expect this guy to do this. You know, it's hard not to get caught up in it while you're here.
