Andrew WalshHOST
... absolutely, yeah.
Andrew WalshHOST
And, and they still carry the Rainiers games, which I actually think is really, really cool to be honest with you.
Andrew WalshHOST
Um, but yeah, the playlist is just, you know, the oldies became what everybody considers oldies, which is basically everything up through the '80s and '90s now I think.
Andrew WalshHOST
Maybe not the '90s, but practically.
Luke BurbankHOST
... just woken up recesses of my brain trying to remember, "Oh, we had a guy named Samad Taylor for, like, a half of a second."
Andrew WalshHOST
Well, he actually was with the organization for a long time, but he played a lot with the Rainiers.
Andrew WalshHOST
I think we kind of-
Luke BurbankHOST

Andrew WalshHOST

Andrew WalshHOST
Yeah, and I listened, I [laughs] was gonna say I listened to a little bit more Rainiers than you do.

Lyle GoldsteinHOST
This is where he got hired to be a coach, and he was good enough at his job that he got to stick around for a long time.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
By the way, not just as a big league coach, 'cause he was a big league coach from '22 through '25, but he also managed the Rainiers back in 2021.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
And when he managed the Rainiers, he managed Kelenic, he managed Logan Gilbert, he managed Cal, he managed a lot of this core.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
So he knows these guys.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
And by no fault of his own, he's been good enough at his job where he's stayed in the big leagues for a while and now has gotten a promotion to the Pirates.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
Yeah
Colby PatnodeHOST
... on, in April, like for the Rainiers or whatever.
Colby PatnodeHOST
