Chapter 3: How does Seth Kaiser evaluate the Chiefs' offseason decisions?

111.964 - 132.753 Unknown

That VIP is a lot of fun. So get registered for that. All right. Let's start with a little Matt Quattrero. Some we haven't heard yet today. Let's talk about, uh, the pitching for the can't see roles giving up only one run last night. Quattrero said the pitching was good all night. Yeah. I mean, even going back to Chris, I mean, he, you know, he worked hard. They, they make you work.

0

133.094 - 149.94 Unknown

I mean, you can get ahead of them, but it's hard to put them away. Um, and just to limit them to one run is extremely impressive, but you know, especially, you know, Shriver had a good inning. Um, And, you know, then Lynch had a really good inning. And Strom had to work the hardest, you know, getting first and third nobody out, a big strikeout there.

0

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Chiefs' draft strategy on their future?

150 - 172.317 Unknown

Or, sorry, one out and a big strikeout there. And then, obviously, Lucas, too. I mean, they made you work. I think each of those guys threw 20-plus pitches once Lynch came in. So those are tough innings. He's right. They are tough innings. And Chris Bubich wasn't vintage Chris Bubich as he gave up eight base runners in five innings, four hits, four walks, allowed just the one run, though.

0

172.678 - 180.01 Unknown

Did strike out six. Keeping the strikeouts up, but the walkouts are the walks, not the walkouts. The walks are up a little bit this year.

0

180.13 - 187.936 Soren Petro

A lot of pitches with 27 or 28 pitches in the first inning. I knew he wasn't going to pitch. He wasn't going eight last night. They really made him work.

0

Chapter 5: What does Seth Kaiser think about the Chiefs' offensive coaching changes?

188.477 - 193.104 Unknown

Well, isn't that what Quattro just said?

0

193.124 - 203.901 Soren Petro

It is. Can I repeat what's said? Sure. Sorry. We'll never do that again.

0

203.941 - 228.235 Unknown

Available tonight. Out of the bullpen should be everybody but probably not Strom with 26 pitches last night. I think he won't be up. Daniel Lynch probably not with 20. Erceg had 23. He's gone three of the last five but had a day off in between. You know, could be interesting who's available out of the bullpen.

0

229.784 - 232.327 Soren Petro

It'd be nice to just not need them.

0

232.347 - 233.469 Unknown

Yeah.

Chapter 6: How does the Chiefs' defense compare to their offense after the draft?

233.489 - 255.401 Unknown

Like you said, I think that was kind of in the back of his head. He's like, well, they made you work. I think we're going to see Mason Black tonight. He hasn't pitched for three days, so I think one way or the other, the first guy out of the pen will probably be Mason Black tonight. But three out of five for Mears, three out of five for Erseg. Daniel Lynch has gone three out of five.

0

255.541 - 266.625 Unknown

He had a five-pitch and nine-pitch on Friday and Saturday. Didn't pitch Sunday or Monday, so maybe he comes back, but I think they'd probably like to stay away from that. This will be a nice night to get some length.

0

267.01 - 278.447 Soren Petro

8-4-1-1-3-8. That would be the line score you're looking for from tonight's starter.

0

279.108 - 281.792 Unknown

It would be nice. It would work. It would be nice. It would be helpful.

0

Chapter 7: What are the expectations for the Chiefs' performance this upcoming season?

281.992 - 298.258 Unknown

There's no doubt about that. All right. More from Matt Quattrero after last night's game. Asked about the high pitch count. You know, Curtis said it made Boobage work. Mm-hmm. I think it's more on them. I mean, I'm sure he would like to have a little bit sharper command, but they make you worry.

0

298.278 - 313.564 Unknown

I mean, he was ahead of a lot of guys, and they just kept fouling balls off, and that's not unique to Chris. I mean, they've been doing that all year. It's hard to put him away, but I'm sure that he's not going to be happy with the walks, but to limit them to one run over five plus, that's impressive.

0

316.049 - 333.582 Soren Petro

Fifty pitches the first two innings. And there were two strikes on four of the six batters he faced in the first and three of the five he faced in the second. So I don't know if he was ahead. He was certainly ahead on at least three of them.

0

Chapter 8: What is the current status of LIV Golf and its future?

333.983 - 340.116 Soren Petro

Do we have a lineup yet for tonight? I've not seen that yet. We're at about that time.

0

340.096 - 360.406 Unknown

About that time. It's a West Coast game, 840 start. So a little bit later on, on when those lineups come out. Vinny Pascantino, we're not expecting to be in the lineup. He left the game early. Back tightness and something that Matt Cotrero, we played earlier, said that he's kind of been dealing with all along. So we'll see if we, when we get that lineup, what they do.

0

360.446 - 379.46 Unknown

Michael Massey entered the game and they moved Nick Lofton over to first base, right? That was the move that they made. Last night, I want to double check that. Yeah, Lofton's at first. And then Lofton moved over from second to first, and Massey played second. So Nick Lofton, Salvador Perez, Jack Caglione. Is there a reason why we're not? Jack Caglione can't put a first baseman in the middle.

0

379.48 - 404.626 Soren Petro

Here we go. The lineup is out. Okay. Perfect timing. And it is Garcia, Witt. Jensen behind the plate, Perez at first. Okay. Massey, Collins, Caglione, and a DH, Thomas in right, Isbell in center. Garcia, Witt, Jensen, Perez, Massey, Collins, Caglione, Thomas, Isbell.

0

405.487 - 419.587 Unknown

Walker versus Severino tonight. The Royals a minus 120 favorite. Severino's got an ERA over five, I believe, coming into this. So this would be a nice one. for the Royals to go ahead and pick up.

419.607 - 420.208 Soren Petro

Very much so.

421.03 - 428.863 Unknown

They're not favored, though. Sacramento is favored minus 120. Luis Severino is supposed to be better than his ERA, but Michael Walker has clearly been the better pitcher this year.

429.905 - 449.327 Soren Petro

Yep. But keep it rolling. Then you go into a day game tomorrow, and they can go for the sweep. Nice, happy, another happy plane ride to Seattle. That would be nice. It would be very nice. You can't sweep if you don't win two. So let's just keep the train going.

449.368 - 467.312 Unknown

The Red Sox have placed ace Garrett Crochet on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his pitching shoulder. The latest early season setback for their star left-hander. Things are going well there in Boston. No, not really. The problem is Alex Corey. You got to get rid of that guy. They get rid of that guy.
