We've done your homework. Welcome back to Gwen and Chris on Dylan Sees' Big Day. A no-hitter by the Padres right hander today in Washington, D.C. The second in franchise history. Welcome back, Chrisello, Tony Gwen Jr. in Washington, D.C. He and Jesse Agler called the no-hitter earlier today, right here on your home from Padre Baseball. Tony and the Padres on their way to Baltimore. But we did catch up with Tony after the game to get some of his thoughts on Sees' performance. We will give you some of that interview in just a little bit here as we get underway. Now, it is our final half hour together, but then Scrabie's going to take over with these Scrabie Chronicles from 5.30 to 6.30 today. Don't forget on the program tomorrow, 2 o'clock, sometime in the 2 o'clock hour anyway, Dylan Sees will be a guest on the show tomorrow. Here's the thing that Sees. We've talked about his three-game stretch that he's on right now. And in these three games, 22 innings pitched, he's allowed two hits, struck out 30, no runs. I mean, it's really remarkable. And David Schoenfeld of ESPN put together a list today of some of the greatest three-game stretch performances in baseball history. And I'm not going to read all of these because there's a lot of numbers, but it's just the names that are on the list of people that have put together these kinds of three-game stretches. Sandy Kofax back in the 60s, three consecutive three-hit shutouts with 26 strikeouts. Bob Gibson, in his 1968 record setting, 1.12 season, had three straight shutouts, et cetera. Nolan Ryan is on this list. He had three straight shutouts once. One of them was a 12 inning shutout. Try that today. What? Yeah, 12 innings for Nolan Ryan. I mean, when did the manager approach him to come out of that game? Like the 11th? They never did. I know. I guess not. He struck out 31 during that stretch of three straight shutouts. Dwight Gooden, when his rookie season pitched a one hitter, then came back with two straight 16 strikeout games. That was a pretty good three game stretch. Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens's on this list Pedro Martinez, Max Scherzer. The last guy on this list is Kershaw, who in a three game stretch in 2015, 25 innings, eight hits, no runs. Dylan Sees's three game stretch compares favorably to all of these though. All of, yeah, all the guys 22 innings, two hits. The only thing that keeps cease from being better is only 22 innings. The rest of these guys are all over three games, 27 innings, because they pitch complete games. You know, we don't get complete games anymore, but Dylan Sees's three game stretch is historical in the game of baseball. I mean, it's just all the people you mentioned. All the people you mentioned are not like they're all Hall of Fame. Exactly. Every single one of these guys except Dwight Gooden, and he's not not a Hall of Famer because of what he did. I mean, on the field in '84, mid '80s, young guy Dwight Gooden was a Hall of Fame pitcher. He just didn't keep it going because the drugs won. But the rest of these guys are all Hall of Fame. Come on. That tells me that the feat that he just did is a legit feat. It's legit. We've seen something remarkable, not, not the no hitter. It's been 306 of those. But there's very few stretches like we've seen here from Dylan Sees right now. In the last three games, the Braves, Guardians, and Nationals combined went two for 65. That's an astronomical astronomical number of at bats for two hits. Yeah. He has a 0.41 whip over the last three games. And that two for 65 batting average works out to 0.31. Teams are no 31 against you. That's pretty good. My goodness. I would be nervous if I was in the field, you know, in the ninth inning. That would be, that would be tough. You'd be nervous about, Oh, making the play, making the play. Just making sure I didn't give up the no hitter. I will say this. There was two really good plays in the game, by the way. One was in the fifth inning and a pop up to short center field. Bogart's ran out over the shoulder, tried to catch it. It popped right out of his glove. It was headed to the turf for a would have been called a hit because it was a blue and there was Jackson Merrill to snatch it out of the air and catch it. You know, I mean, you see that play about once every 10 years. That's true. A pop up that officially has scored four to eight. That's what that was. And Jackson Merrill put that in your score book. He had a look on his face like, ooh, got away with that one. Yeah, they did. And the other big play was Bogart's in the eighth inning, who slid to his left to plug the hole between first and second, got up, dropped the ball, somehow recaptured it like in a panic and threw the first base in time to get the slow-footed, keeper Ruiz. Lucky they had him. Lucky he was running. Because anybody else running would have beat that play. Absolutely. So you need some luck to get a no hitter. Dylan sees had a little of that today, but he had a lot of just overpowering pitching. There was one other thing that was pointed out today about Dylan sees his no hitter. According to all the stat cast analytics, which are beyond my, you know, realm. Only three balls were even hit hard today. Two were ground balls. The only ball hit out of the infield today that was hit remotely hard was the last out of the game. C.J. Abrams lining the right field. That was the only ball all day that was even remotely squared up on the bat and hit, you know, rather well. And that tells you exactly how good he was. That's how good he was. He only struck out nine, but he had complete command of this game. 114 pitches for the second no hitter in Padre's history. Tony's thoughts about it coming up in about five or six minutes. By the way, next start for Dylan sees, man, who's not who's gonna not want to be there on Wednesday now? I mean, first of all, the Dodgers are coming in Wednesday. So that's worth it already. Yes. But it'll be tighter glass now on Wednesday against Dylan sees. Huh. How good does that sound? That sounds amazing. Next Wednesday. I'm just looking at my calendar. Let's see if I can go at about five 40 next Wednesday evening. Five 40. Yeah, it's an earlier start. Hour early next Wednesday. All right. Don't miss it because sees glass now sees will be going to try to tie Johnny Vandermeer's mark. The impossible mark of two straight no hitters. That would be that would be awesome. How about when you talk about unbreakable records, Johnny Vandermeer, to break his record, you'd have to throw three straight no hitters. That's pretty unbreakable. That's pretty unbreakable. Like you said, it was back in the day and maybe the lights went out. Well, no, the thing, the story on Vandermeer, it was 1938. Like I said, I was there. I was in high school at the time right in your horse to school. I rode my yeah, after the game, after school, I took a horse and carrots down to Ebbets Field. But no, it was like one of the two games in that know that no hit stretch for Vandermeer was the first night game ever played at Ebbets Field. And a lot of people, yeah, I don't know who was there. It's now 80 years ago, 86 years ago. But they said that nobody could see anything. The lights were just, you know, breaking in. So Vandermeer, you know, took advantage of that, certainly to get it. I mean, I can, you know, just like 10 years ago, it took 30 minutes for the lights to warm up at Petco and all the other stadiums. So I can imagine the lights in 1938. Yeah, probably weren't too good. So someone just cranking at the entire time. Here's the pitch. Oh, wait, the crank stopped in left field a foul ball sounded like a strike. Not sure. All right, anything else happening? We did the big five. You got all of that stuff. Football. Yes, we can say that Adam Major is going to start for the Padres. We should mention that. Yes, Padres did say that Adam and I know I tell you, I don't want to wreck anybody's good mood. It's not fair. The kids doing everything he possibly can. He's trying. But so far it hasn't gone well, he's going to face the league leading Baltimore Orioles tomorrow as the Padres have to finally use their number five starter. Trade deadline is Tuesday. RJ Anderson was on with us earlier from CBS Sports and the one thing that sticks out for me on that interview is he pulled cold water on my Tyler Anderson idea. He did kind of not even kind of. He said your smoke is basically the Tyler Anderson smoke and mirrors. He says the guy's not good. Look deeper into the analytics. I'm like, I don't look at that stuff. The guy's been on two All-Star teams in three years. I feel he's good. Yeah. Yeah. So you tell me he's not good. Okay. But I don't know. I think Tyler Anderson's pretty good and he's been pretty good. And I would be able to get him for a whole lot less than some of these other names you want me to go get. Would I try the would I'd rather have the smoking mirrors Tyler Anderson or Rich Hill smoking mirrors Tyler Rich Hill. Remember that? Is he still in the running for to go somewhere? No, no, no, no. I don't even think he's playing this year. Dick Mountain? Dick Mountain. Yes. It's the greatest thing for him. That's about. Yeah. All right. I'm not going to pick on Rich Hill right now. I'm not picking on Rich Hill either. Yeah. You've been picking on people all day long. I know the Raiders have been picking on people all day long for picking on Patrick Mahomes. They were one of the ones. All right. The Olympics start tomorrow. Did you know that? Yeah. Tomorrow we get Friday. It's Thursday. Yeah. Opening ceremonies are tomorrow. Okay. LeBron will be carrying the torch along with Coco Gough. I didn't know that you had to have a nowadays I guess you have a man and a woman torch carrier or flag carrier or whatever it makes sense to me. They have a lot of female athletes, a lot of male athletes. Wait for the Olympics to kick into gear. I heard. I was reading this morning that some of the players on the Lakers Summer League team are a little, a little angry at how Bronnie has been treated because he's been getting preferential treatment. Yes. They think that he he doesn't have to do interviews. He doesn't have like the PR staff kind of hovers around him so that people don't bother him. I don't say I don't think there's no way that wasn't going to happen. I don't think that's a Bronnie thing. I think it all to me goes back to the fact that I think LeBron really, really, really, really wanted to play on the same team with his son and it really you think it makes me it makes me feel like I think throwing him into the fire. How do you not know that? Okay. I know that. But it makes me think that LeBron maybe wasn't thinking about Bronnie's best intentions because he's the one getting all the bad press. Everybody is talking about how bad Bronnie James is and how lucky he is that he got drafted by his dad. I'd say that's true. I don't think I don't think of his name wasn't James. I don't think you would have been drafted. I don't think there's any question he wouldn't have been drafted. Jalen Brown was sitting courtside. Chris, your guy. Not an NBA player said Jalen Brown. He did say that. He will see. I do have I do take issue with some of these people on social media who put up the plays and then they kind of break down plays. And this dude was going in on Bronnie for not like cutting towards the basket. It's like give him a little bit of a chance. The dude is the first game of summer league and you're already ripping him apart. Summer league doesn't even matter. Saw tweet from our guy Dylan Hernandez today. Yeah, why'd it say? It said I'm trying to call it up right now, but I'm not really great at doing that. Dylan Hernandez, I got my Twitter open right here. Yeah, it said something to the effect of if the Lakers it says something to the effect of if LeBron James can get us. Oh here it is. If LeBron James can influence Lakers to draft his son show here, Tony should be able to convince the Dodgers to reinforce their roster. There you go. I mean, I think so Dylan Hernandez is basically saying what we're all saying and that is of course Dylan Hernandez at the LA Times columnist. Yes. But of course, the Lakers only drafted Bronnie because of LeBron. That's the way it went. Exactly. Okay. We're ready here from Tony after the break. I got to hear some traffic first though.

We've done your homework. April 9, 2021. That was the first no-hitter in Padre's history. Mark it down now. July 25, 2024. The second no-hitter in Padre's history, Dylan, cease-pitched it today. In Washington, D.C. Chrisello, Mr. Scrabie alongside. We're going to hear what Tony Gwyn Jr. thought about today is no-hitter and calling the game with Jesse Agler. We'll hear that in just a moment. I wanted to bring up something that I know you're going to like. Is that right? Yep. Of all the things that I've said today, I feel most confident that you are going to like this note better than any other that I've given. I've given some big-time notes today. You like to build things up. You like to build things up. You know, factoids that you can't live without. But here's the one you are going to like the most, Scrabie. July 25, today's date. This was the third no-hitter recorded on that date in baseball history. The last one was by a guy also with San Diego ties, Cole Hamels, for the Phillies pitched a no-hitter against the Cubs, thousand two thousand fifteen. Here's the part you're going to like. The only other no-hitter ever thrown on July 25th was thrown by Providence Gray, right-hander, old Hoss Radhorn. I knew it. I knew it was old hoes. Old hoes. In 1883, he no-hit the Cleveland Blues. I knew you'd love that one. For everybody who doesn't know, like six years ago, we had a guy named Thomas and he was giving us weird baseball facts. He was giving us odd baseball facts and he said old hoes and he was 100% sure that he was saying. Instead of old Hoss Radhorn, he called him old hoes. That was his then. I still get people tagging me in like post about old hoes. Well, there he is. Old hoes shows up in the notes today. He and Cole Hamels, the only others besides C's to ever pitch no-hitter's on July the 25th. Tony Gwen Jr. was there. He got to see it. He got to call it with Jesse Agler and before they climbed on the bus to go to Baltimore, we caught up with him to get our partner's thoughts. And of course, we couldn't let the day go by without getting some thoughts from my partner Tony Gwen Jr. about the no-hitter thrown by Dylan C's today. And first thing I thought of Tony was you got to be there this time. You and Jesse had to call the last no-hitter sitting in an empty press box at Petco Park. Yeah, that was certainly a little bit different setting this time, not looking at it through a TV screen, being there alive and in person. And that was pretty special. I mean, Dylan had it going today as he has the last couple of starts. I had a little better luck. I mean, I think the first couple of last two starts, they got hit pretty early. So it kind of threw cold water on the whole idea of a no-hitter. But that was not the case today. Some luck terrific play by Jackson, a stay with it play by Bogey and the rest as they say is history. You know, Tony, you've been around the game, you know, as long as anyone. And this is the 306th no-hitter in baseball history. But I don't know what it is. It's always exciting, even if it happens like in a Toronto Detroit game, people get excited about tuning in and watching a no-hitter. When it happens for the team, you follow. It's extra special. And you know, I just, I don't know what it is. And no-hitter gets everybody going. Yeah, I mean, it's a pretty exciting 24 hours, right? I mean, we'll get to celebrate this. The weird thing about baseball is that there's another game in the bar and you're forced to kind of turn the page. These guys will have to do the same thing, especially going into a place like Baltimore. You know, those guys were on the verge of getting swept. I don't know if that game ended up going their way or not today. So, you know, they're going to have their hands full. But for this 24-hour period, all that's going to be talked about is Dylan's season. It's Padre franchise. And rightfully so. I mean, he was, he was really brilliant today. And it wasn't brilliant in the way that he normally is where he's, you know, can double digit guys. I know he had nine, but this was a much more efficient day of work for Dylan's seat. Were you surprised they left them in after the seventh inning? No, I wasn't. I mean, he had he had 80, I think, 86 pitches at the time. And, you know, it was, he was efficient enough to where, and he's one of the guys that goes longer, you know, 113, I think is his max. When you get into that area, I think coach is still comfortable. And he was the right guy at the right time. Tony is in the DC with the Padres on their way to Baltimore, but checking in with us after the Dylan sees no hitter today. And Tony, just tell us a little bit about your dealings with Dylan's seats. I don't know how often you've spent with him, but we had him on our show. It just seems like a really quiet, reserved guy. He didn't get too excited. It didn't seem too excited in his post-game interviews, but maybe it takes a calm heartbeat to finish off one of these things. I mean, I haven't spent a ton of time with him. I mean, Dylan is kind of off with the pitchers and kind of in that mode a lot of time. So I don't get to spend a lot of time with him, but I do get to watch him pitch every fifth day. And when he's got that kind of stuff, I mean, that is in the realm of possibilities every time he steps on the mountain, and he has that kind of stuff. To have a no hitter in general, you need some luck. He got that luck today. Meryl being in the right place at the right time, bogey, staying with that play, Ruiz not really running the hardest out of the box. Those are the kind of luck things you need to go your way in. When you got a little luck and you're as good as Dylan's seats, this type of magic can happen. It happened today for the Padres, the second no hitter in franchise history. Hope you enjoyed a little extended Gwen and Chris today, and you're probably wondering, what do you mean extended? You normally go to six o'clock. Well, we were supposed to start early. We didn't because the rain delay, but the whole no hitter, we were anyway. Scrabby is going to keep it going though for you with the chronicles for another hour. That's right. I don't know what other, you know, factoids and notes you can come up with, but I imagine you'll have your own spin on this whole thing. You know, I don't know either because we just talked about all of it. We just talked about it for four hours straight, pretty much. Yeah, I do have a, I want to talk about something that I don't give jerks and pro for enough credit for. And I want to talk about something that Jackson Merrill does that I think is a good sign for the future. All right. Well, backing up Zander Bogart's was a good sign for today. I'll tell you that though, but yes, it was. All right. Tomorrow I'm off. So you can all celebrate that, but Dylan's seats will be on with Scrabby with Tony tomorrow at two o'clock. So don't miss that. Have a great weekend from me for Tony. I'll talk to you on Monday. Padres three gnats nothing. No hitter number two. What kind of programs does this school have?
