Welcome in to Sandy Goes Number One Sports Talk Station 97-3. The fan, Chris Ello. Tony Gwen Jr. is in Washington, DC. Of course, he's with the Padre's. But unable to join us today, things didn't quite fall our way. So with the game coming up shortly, Tony's already down in the locker rooms and coaches meetings and whatnot. So we'll have to skip Tony today, but Scrabby is alongside and Sam Levitz out lurking in the hallway. I love that word. He's getting ready to come in and do the Padre pregame show in about 35 minutes. So we don't have a lot of time, but we welcome you in and we're glad you've decided to spend a little time with us today. Padre's and Nationals. To me, if the Padre's go to the postseason this year, that's a ways off. But if they end up going to the postseason, is everybody going to do what I do and look back to the series against the Nationals as one of the key moments of the season? Yes. You know, I really think it is, you know, the lightning rod. They were 41 and 41 when that series began on June 24th. So it was a month ago, exactly a month ago. And of course, they won all three games, but it was the way they won all three games. That stands out, took them to 44 and 41. They would end up winning two more in Boston to start the next road trip. Of course, now they've come back to 500 and then bounced back over 500. So I don't know that you can call it like the ultimate turning point that sent the Padre's on their way because even though they got on their way with 12 out of 15, they gave it right back, right? They lost seven out of eight. So they were right back where they started from. But I think when this season's over, if it ends up the way we all wanted to, then the national series is going to be kind of the one, you know, where this galvanized this team. I mean, it all started on Monday, June 24th, first game of the series. Do you remember what happened? Padre's took an early three, nothing lead. Washington scratched its way back. Single runs in the third, fifth and seventh. Game went to the 10th inning. Not only did our guy, Cabot Ruiz, double in the go ahead run, but the Nixon Zell, who's no longer even with the nationals, hit a two run homer. And Washington celebrated what they thought was a six, three victory. Yeah. Only to see the Padres come up in the bottom of the 10th inning and go hit, hit, hit, walk, hit, hit, hit. Two runs in, two out, still trailing by one. And of course pro far, rake the ball to right center field. It would have been a double except for once he got the first base, he made a left turn and ran toward the nationals dugout and celebrated. And that seemed to kick off all of the fireworks that we got to see the next night on June the 25th. I mean, it bears recalling it. I know it definitely does. I mean, that was the game of the year to this point. If, if, if the Padres make the playoffs, I think I look back at this most recent series against the Guardians coming out of the break. You think this is the good team in their house? I think that the Washington series is nothing memorable about what happened in the Guardian series. I don't care. Well, well, for us, yes, memorable is important, but for the guys, don't you think they would take the series win over a big home run? I think the galvanizing of this team though took place in the series against Washington and it took place in the second game when in the bottom of the first inning, Jerkson Profar came to bat and Cabaret Ruiz had an issue. Yes. And continued with his issue. He did. Until Manny Machado came in and shoved Cabaret Ruiz away and said, get out of here. Stop. I remember. And the bench is emptied and on and on. It went. And then Mackenzie Gore, after being warned, hit Profar with the very first pitch that he threw. Granted, he hit him in the ankle, but he hit him. The umpiring crew chose to do nothing other than to throw Mike Schilt out of the game for complaining. Yes. And that was as ludicrous as it gets until Manny Machado, the guy who really had kind of kicked off the whole dust up by pushing Ruiz out of the way, hit the first pitch into the left field seats. For what I think most of us agree might be the highlight moment of the entire first half of the season. I will agree with that. That was huge. I remember. I was driving. I was so excited. You couldn't help but be excited when Manny hit that home run. It was almost as loud, if not as loud as the moment that Brandon Drury hit the Grand Slam two years ago on the night that Juan Soto debuted. Anyway, Washington would come back in that particular game on a home run by the hated Jesse Winker. That's true. And they would take a four to lead. What everybody forgets is that it was Donovan Solano's two run single that put the Padres back ahead five to four. And then of course, Profar got the ultimate revenge with his Grand Slam. The Padres would hang on to win nine seven. That was the second game. The third game of the series is kind of the forgotten one. That was the game though that Kyle Higashyoka hit not one but two homers. The second being a Grand Slam. So it's back to back days that the Padres hit Grand Slams against the Nationals. Padres led eight nothing in that game. And the Nationals scored five in the ninth. So, yeah, to make it interesting before the Padres would hang on and finally win. That was the first series between these two teams. Now, there's people on both sides. On our side, we've got Mike Schilt, the man who said we won't start it, but we sure will finish it. I think that bears reminder because of anything should start in this series. I expect Mike Schilt to finish it. Profar is going to be in the middle of this one way or the other. When he comes to bat in the first inning tonight, I would be shocked if there's anything other than a cascade of 30,000 or how many of the Nationals average in attendance? Like 10? I don't know what they average, but I think it's booze. Nothing but booze for Profar. It's going to be interesting because that means that the Nationals fans care. Well, Dave Martinez says he doesn't care, but Dave Martinez also said that Gore didn't hit him on purpose. And then the next day basically admitted that he did. And he said he said that we're not going to take that. I don't believe anything Dave Martinez says. His team got whipped all three games when it was all said and done. Do the Nationals feel like everything ended on even terms? Or is it possible that the Padres don't feel like things ended on even terms? After all, Profar got hit, but no national player was ever retaliated against. I don't want to happen, Chris, as much as I want, who's pitching tonight, Matt Waldron? No. Oh, Vasquez. As much as I want Randy Vasquez to drill like Jesse Winker or something, I don't want that to happen. Just go out there, play your game, win some games. I know. I know. I'm the guy who wants that to happen. But the Padres have already taken, they've already won this battle in the mental space. I haven't if the Nationals speak the national sweep them this week. They have won nothing. I at the very least think the Padres owe Cabot Ruiz one shot to the ankle. I just think that that is, you know, more than fair, you're talking about hitting Winker. I'm not worried about Winker too much, even though he had, after the first game, to run after a fan and to stand some old guys like 70 years old and Jesse Winker's challenging him. Yeah, both sides are a little embarrassing. All right. Probably nothing will happen most of the time. It's much ado about nothing. But here we are again with the Nationals and the Padres. Game one of the series. Sam Levitt's pregame show is now only 30 minutes away. DJ Herr's left hand or young left hander will pitch for the Nationals. That had been up in the air for a while, but they finally made up their mind. Herr's was the starter in the final game of the series the first time around, the one that Hagash Yoka hit two home runs. And Herr's took the loss in that game when the Padres went 8-5. Vasquez did not face the Nationals the first time around, if you're wondering. The race for the wild card though, so fun. I know it's too early to play scoreboard because there's still 60 games left, but I just love it when there's five teams fighting for two playoff spots. And the five teams are separated by one and a half games. I'm officially allowed to look at the schedule next Thursday. I just love baseball when you got five teams within a game and a half. And I'm going to tell you something, the Braves are not in the clear. No, not at all. They are nowhere near in the clear. No, losing Aussies is pretty big. Pretty big. Not only that, Max Fried is on the deal, also along with the season ending injuries to Strider and Acuna. Those are four superstars that you're taking off the Braves. They're only three games out of the Cardinals, but for the moment, you got the Cardinals in the second spot, you got the Mets in the third spot, Pirates and Padres, a half game back, Diamondbacks, one game back. I love this because every night, you can go from the second wild card spot to being in sixth place. I don't love that. In every game. Oh, it puts so much fun on these games. And I don't know. We are now exactly a week from the trade deadline. The trade deadline is a week from today. Who is going to be willing to trade anybody? I mean, that's the question. I mean, if you look in the national league, every team, but the Rockies and Marlins is within four and a half games of a playoff spot and the Cubs say they're kind of leaning towards next season. But house, I don't get that. Yeah, how could you give up when they're right there? They've won two in a row. They're three and a half back of a spot. What if they win four or five in a more, a more in a row before next week, shouldn't they know that they can make a comeback, didn't they lose the spot, they lose a bunch of games down the stretch. They were in the wild card spot for the first two months of this season, so they should know that it happens. Yeah, I don't know why they're way back. I don't know why the Cubs will be giving up the nationals are the last place team in the group, but they're only four and a half back where the Padres are a half back. This series could basically turn the nationals into sellers or the nationals could win two out of three over the Padres and they too could be very much back in the race. I love this. This is exactly what baseball intended by having three wild cards, by having it wide open, by having so many teams and contention. It's great for the game. Yeah. Yeah. It's great for the game. It's a schedule in the national league tonight, St. Louis is playing Pittsburgh. That's two of the five teams. I don't know. Paul Skeens is on the Mount Chris. It's a win for Pittsburgh. Okay. Well, then don't show up. It's for the Cardinals. What do I care? Padres are playing Washington Cubs are, you know, their game matters. Giants are playing the Dodgers. That matters. Reds were, you know, they're playing interleague, but it matters to them. Fantastic. I love it. Trade deadline of week away. I think all the general managers sitting back going, what should we do? I don't think anybody knows quite what to do. The rumor, the reason why the name Garrett crochet keeps coming up is because frankly the white Sox might be the only team in all of baseball that are so bad. After all, there are 48 games below 500. All right. Well, that team does not have a chance. They've lost eight in a row right now. Oh, they've had two stretches of, oh, I know double digit. Oh, I know. They had a four year earlier this year. Yeah. They are 48 games below 500 for those keeping track, but that's why Garrett crochet's name keeps coming up and everybody, not everybody, but a lot of people think, well, the Padres are destined to get him. Okay, but the Cardinals are destined to get him. So are the Mets, pirates, Diamondbacks, Cubs, and in the American league, the Orioles, Red Sox, Mariners, Rays, twin, they're all destined to get him too. I don't think the Padres think they're going to win out. I don't think the Padres should trade for either crochet or scuba because that means you're probably giving up Lea Dallas debris and Ethan Salas or one of the other. And they've already said that those guys are off limits. I think they go and they specifically target guys on bad teams that can help the team and not cost them too much. I, I've got the perfect guy. Okay. Tyler Anderson. Yes. I was thinking about him last night actually. He's on the Angels. They're 12 and a half back. They're not going to make it. He's been an all star two of the last three years. Pitch well against the Padres this year, pitches well against everybody. You know, he's a good solid left handed pitcher who could go right into the five spot in this rotation with no problem at all. I don't think he would cost you either. Is there Salas? No. No, right? Maybe like a Dylan Lesco Robbie Snelling, but those, see those guys, I, I'm willing to give up for someone like Tyler Anderson because that will produce immediate results for the Padres. All right. Well, Padres will be looking for some results tonight. Game one of their series against the Nats. We'll give you some lineups. We'll get you ready for the game, give you a little update on all the other things going on in sports on this Tuesday, catch you up on the Olympics are coming up starting Friday. Oh, the opening. Did you know that? I did. I mean, you knew it, but you hadn't really thought about it, right? Yeah, Mr. Olympics, remember, you know what I'm going to do when we come back while you play that? I'm going to say something that probably isn't very patriotic. Oh, no. Why? Why you got to kill the Olympic fun before it even starts? I'm going to kill a little of the patriotism when we come back, along with updating on everything else going on in sports on this Tuesday. Gwen and Chris, glad you're with us.

Hey fantasy football owners, anybody can tell you what a good fantasy quarterback looks like, but it's the receivers that make or break your team. I'm Matt Harman from Reception Perception, join me and James Ko, and as we take a deep dive into the position that matters most, wide receivers from the route trees, to who plays better in man or zone, we provide the insights you need to draft the best wide receivers. After your draft, let us give you the coverage you need, follow and listen to Reception Perception on the free Odyssey app, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm trying to get me to be patriotic, it's not going to work, not going to work, I tell you. Chris Ello, about to be about to be un-American. Yes, what is happening? Matt Scrabby, you might be un-American with me, don't you don't know what I'm going to say? I know, I know. You may be in full agreement with me on this. In fact, knowing you the way I do, I predict it's more likely you're going to agree with me than likely you won't agree with me. And it's un-American, okay. In my un-American take. Okay, let's hear it. But I think there's a good chance you may maybe right with me. You don't want to be un-American, but let's hear it. I don't either. But I'm kind of, I'm being forced to in a lot of ways here, okay? Before we get to that reminder, Sam Levitz, Ecowater SoCal Padre pregame show, follows us in about 20 minutes. Tony Gwyn, Jr., getting ready for the game and the timing of such things, not able to be with us here, but he is in DC and he and Jesse will have the call of the game a little after three, four, actually about three forty five, this afternoon. Yes, yes, yes. Padre's and the Nat's. All right. Here's my un-American take. Let me get the gas ready. I don't think you need to gasp for this one. Okay, let's hear it. I think you might need to applaud this one. Okay, I have the applause ready too. I'm not necessarily rooting for the United States men's basketball team to win the gold medal. They're kind of, they're kind of just stuffy, arrogant and dismissive of the rest of the field. So much arrogance for a team that beat South Sudan by one point, beat Germany by four in some of the pre-limb, pre-limb games. And I don't, I just don't like their style of play. It's superstar basketball. There's nothing close to team basketball. I don't even know that Steve Kerr has given these guys a single play to run. It honestly feels like you get over half court, give the ball to one of the five guys. The other four guys go spot up and either Tatum or LeBron or Ant-Man or whoever it is whose turn is with the ball will attack. And if they double team, we'll kick it to Curry for a three. I don't find much team basketball played by the United States side. Now I haven't necessarily scouted all the rest of these squads, okay? But I still think basketball is a beautiful game that is played by a team. And I love to see a team in concert. I understand that they're just kind of getting it together. Maybe they'll get a little better as they go. But South Sudan outplayed them, Germany outplayed them. The United States beat them because of just pure raw talent alone and the greatness of LeBron James, frankly. But do you really need LeBron James to get a gold medal? Do you really need Jason Tatum to get one? Are you, are you just, are you going to have a tear in your eye for Ant-Man? I just got off the phone with the police and I reported trees in because I can't possibly be the only person thinking this heading into the Olympics. I do agree that this team seems unlikable, but I'm not going to cheer against my own country because of it. Like this is, I'm team USA all the way. And I don't, I don't care if this team is unlikable as long as they bring home the gold Chris. Really? Don't I care about. It means that much to you. I don't care what type of basketball they play. If LeBron shoots 80 baskets a game, Sydney McLachlan, Katie Ledecky, Simone Biles, bring me gold. LeBron James, I think would be almost hilarious if you came home without it. Man, we, our reactions are getting split reaction on the chat. Okay. Well, you're getting more than I thought. You're getting it. Well, LeBron James fan, but I'm not a traitor either. Well, if anybody's wondering this shirt I'm wearing today looks to be a little bit the colors of South Sudan. I don't know. They seem to wear light blue. I, I don't know. I'm, you're right. I can't open up an openly rude against our team. That's not right. But I just said, that's how unlikable these guys are to me. And you know, is that's how arrogant they are, but you know what? The best part about the Olympics is, Chris, you don't have to watch the basketball team once if you don't want to. And then you could just see that they won the gold medal and move on the women's team 1000 percent behind and want to see them blow it wide open and run away with the whole thing. Are they like, are they, are the women ahead of the world like the dream team was at the time? No, I have no idea. I don't think it's quite to that level. I think they're ahead, but not that level. I don't know if the United States were to lose to say, sure, be in the first game and yokech dunks a couple of times on Jason Tatum's head wouldn't bother me too much. This isn't extremely, I'm really, look, there's a couple of things I'm upset about. First of all, first of all, I'm upset that they kick Kawhi Leonard off the team. And I take that a little personally as an Aztecs. Why? Oh my gosh. Kawhi Leonard is healthy. He wanted to play the Clippers said we want him to play. And Steve Kerr said, no, I got to have Kevin Durant, who's hurt and not playing. This makes no sense whatsoever. And so I'm upset about that. Secondly, I happen to like Jalen Brown a whole lot better than I like Jason Tatum and I also like Jalen Brown better than Derek White, who they also chose from the Celtics. Derek, right? Like Jalen Brown better than Jalen Holler, what is it, Drew Holliday, who they also took from the Celtics. Yeah. The Derek White one is a little interesting. Gosh. I mean, look, I hold nothing against Derek White. I like him as a player, but Jalen Brown got, I just overlooked, hosed. I mean, I don't know how else to put it. Is there any talk of like, maybe he didn't want to play? I would have said, I don't think so. He wanted to play. He said so. He said as much. So did Kawhi. All right. One more thing on you, then we'll get back to patriotic radio and see whether you agree with me on this. And I don't think this is. Is this un-American too? Okay. I don't think so. All right. I don't like their choice of flag bearer, United States. Okay, I kind of agree with this. I want to see if you can get behind this LeBron James lives his life in the spotlight in the spotlight. Yes. He looks at him every minute of every day. Give somebody else who's worked their entire lives quietly out of the spotlight, give the javelin thrower the opportunity, put them in the spotlight and let them carry in the flag. Is that too much to ask for? Good. Not agree more. Okay. So you're with me on that one. Because yes, you're right. LeBron James goes outside and a million people mob him doesn't need to carry the flag. He's already had so much glory in his life. Does he even want to be there? I don't know. I mean, usually when the team USA comes out, there's like four guys from the basketball team walking along, everybody else. Remember when they went to Brazil and all the guys were like, I'm, which I don't blame him. I'm not staying in the dorms. I'm renting these houses. Look, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson and the dream team didn't stay in the dorms either. Now these guys have far too much money to stay in the dorms. I get that. All right. That's fine. I mean, look, they live on a different social status than the rest of us. Yes. That part, but, you know, LeBron just doesn't need to carry the flag. I mean, come on out. I can give somebody else a little love there. I agree with that. You're going to give me even the on out when something happened with Snoop Dogg carrying a flag today. What? I think maybe he's got the flag. I'm okay with that. Snoop in the, Snoop in the competition somewhere. I mean, hell, he could probably win the breaking competition just, you know, going out there. Oh, actually Snoop Dogg is going to be a torch bear carrying the Olympic flame in the final stretch before the opening ceremony. He's going to carry the torch through the streets of Saint Denis, the Northern Paris suburb in that his home, blah, blah, blah. He's going to go right to the Eiffel Tower. It looks like not a boy. Snoop man. Well, the Olympics. What's the marijuana loss and the Olympics can't be the Olympics unless Snoop has some flag duty. Yeah. That's true. That's true. Man, that those are, those are very tiring takes because I just didn't know which way to go with them. Like the first one I cannot cheer against our team USA, but the second one, Chris, I can't, I can't. I'm with you. There's something about people that seem entitled like the American basketball team that just makes me want to see them get knocked down a peg. It's all. I got, I got some support in the chat. You do. You do. You do. You also have lots of people like me. Yes. I was expecting the show up so that we can hang you on the off. Hall me off. Yes. I think they're setting up the gallows right down below now, Chris. Really? Yes. All right. Well, that's just the way it gets to go sometimes. We all, we have a few minutes to go. Let's get back to some baseball. This is something you wanted to talk about. So I'm putting it out there because you love Bobby Whit Jr. Huge fan. And the funny thing to me is all they are is fantasy baseball players on your team. And you for some reason seem to think that because these guys are on your team last year of Koona this year with that that, you know, somehow makes you great and it really doesn't. You know, I will give you the Bobby Whit one because you didn't have to draft him. You had the second overall pick, right? Yeah. You could have drafted any number of guys strider who I ended up with, judge Aaron. You could have taken a ton of guys and you went with Bobby Whit Jr. So for that, I give you some credit because he's turned into one of the, you know, really exciting players in baseball. And last night he had a double and a triple and a homer in the first four innings. Yes. So he was going to get at least one more, maybe two more shots at a cycle. Yeah. And we've talked about, you know, we talked about yesterday, four home runs in the games happen 18 times. So that's way, way rare than a no hitter and even more rare than a perfect game. But a cycles rarer than a no hitter also. Yeah. And we root for no hitters. It's just automatic. It's part of its impression us if the game gets to the sixth, seventh inning, we root for no hitter, but a lot of that's being taken away from us by managers and the way they, you know, put ball clubs together. Yeah. Paul Skeens is pitching tonight for Pittsburgh. We in the back in the day, I know, but back in the day when, when, when Nolan Ryan pitched, you kind of had to just glance over your shoulder to make sure he wasn't throwing a no hitter that night. Because if he was, you wanted to tune in. He was capable every time he went out there. Skeens kind of seems the same way, except for the fact that either they ever really let him do one seven innings, no hit. Keep your pitch count down, bro, because I keep it down to like 50 Michael King, Michael King on Sunday, his pitch count was perfect for going for that no hitter because he was, he was pacing like an average of 10 pitches for him. And so if you get to the seventh at 70 pitches, 75 pitches, I think a manager should give you a chance to go the way. I think if you go seven, no hit innings and you're still standing 130 pitches, get the heck back out there and finish your no hitter come on. How much relief is there for a manager when that hit falls when you're in the seventh inning, you're like, Oh, look, the manager, the pirates, Shelton, he lost all my respect last week. Anyway, he doesn't care. He said that everybody was in agreement on that decision, but he gave the reason being that schemes looked tired the previous inning. He threw like six pitches the previous inning. I didn't know that was just a bunch of malarkey. He didn't look tired. You took him out because the organization made you take him out and refuse to allow schemes to go more than a hundred pitches. Just be honest. Don't lie to us. So what happened with Bobby Whit? So Bobby Whit comes up in the sixth inning last night with a chance to hit for the cycle. Everybody's all excited about it. He's facing a lousy reliever, Humberto Castellanos of Arizona, never even heard of this guy. Me neither. All Whit needs is a single. The crowd's chanting his name and first pitch, Plunk Sim, Plunk Sim in the elbow, yes, Plunk Sim. Salvador Perez was on deck was going crazy, yelling and screaming. I don't like the way it looks, et cetera. Anyway, everybody was very angry on the royal side. My hospital friend, Tori Lavello, if you didn't know he and I were born in the same hospital, not the same day, but Tori Lavello went a little crazy defending the notion that the Diamondbacks would be throwing at Bobby Whit. Hold on. The tweet got taken down that I was confused. Oh, man. We almost had that timed. I know. Desperately searching because it just got taken down. Okay. Here it is. Here it is. I got ejected by Jordan Baker. I never said once. I said, one thing to solve in our Perez. I love Salvador Perez. I think he's been an unbelievable major league player and I'm a huge fan. He has. I just wanted him to hear what I was going to say to Jordan. What I said was if you think in my right and you're right in mind that I was going to try ask our team or my team to hit the future of Major League Baseball, one of the best players in Major League Baseball, you're crazy and you lost control of this situation and you got it wrong. That's exactly what I said to Jordan Baker. I wanted Salty to hear that. I wanted him to take it back to their dugout to make sure that he understood that that's how I felt about the situation and that's how I feel about Bobby Whit Jr. He's an unbelievable player. And I would never, ever endorse hitting another player. I would never, ever do that. So if they felt like there was intent, they should have whacked Castellanos right on the spot. I would have been, I would have been fine with that. It's too long to play the full thing, but I didn't, I love how he said it. Castellanos was the guy that hit him. Here's the only thing I'll say about that for Tory Lavello. In the middle of that, and he was very calm, which I appreciate instead of ranting and raving. He just seemed like a calm guy. In the middle of that, he said, and I quote, I would never endorse the hitting of another player. Period. Okay. Just keep that in mind as the world goes along here, you know, it's pretty hard to believe that the Arizona manager would go through his entire career without endorsing the hitting of a player. But then again, I kind of believe him actually. You do. He seems like a stand up dude. I think he is too, but there's comes a time where every now and again, you feel like plunking is important. Well, maybe there's some unofficial rule. I'm never going to tell you to plunk, but if you plunk, I'm not too, too mad at it. All right. Well, we'll keep an eye on this. This is me. Yeah, Chris.
