The workday is coming to an end. It is five o'clock. I will see you all tomorrow. But Gwen and Chris are just getting started. Sports talk it is. Your hosts Tony Gwen Jr. You know what it is okay. Just say you don't know. Yeah that's okay. I don't know Chris and Chris Elo. I've seen the Rockies hit on the road. They can't hit on the road. They'll be lucky to score a run. It's time to get you up to speed on all things sports. With plenty of nonsense in between. Oh look! Here comes our fearless producer. Gwen and Chris starts right now on 97th grade of fan. Hi. Welcome in to our number two Gwen and Chris for a Monday full four hour show today. Then the Scrabby Chronicles. Check in. Scrabby Chronicles from six to seven o'clock this evening. Gwen and Chris until then Tony Gwen Jr. is off today. Padres have the day off today. They'll take on the Seattle Mariners tomorrow. Thank goodness for that. I've been pining Scrabby for the return of the matchup between these two great geographic rivals. Natural rivals. Natural rivals. Yes the Padres and Mariners. Yeah. Meeting for the first time this season. You know tomorrow it just it's like the momentum level like USC UCLA or Michigan Ohio State or Alabama Auburn or Mariners Padres. Yeah. Has the same ring to it you know. Yes. I don't get it but alas the Mariners are coming in for the two game series team. They're in first place in their division only by a couple of games over the Astros. Mariners and Padres have basically the same record. It's just that the Dodgers play in a division with the Dodgers and so the Padres are seven and a half back. Got to within six and a half there for just a moment on I think Friday night. It was like really am I gonna have to start announcing how close we are to the Dodgers. It's getting closer and closer Chris. We'll see. We mean these last two losses over the weekend didn't help anything. Well you know you're not gonna win them all. I know you're not gonna win them all and I'm not gonna be mad about a serious loss at all. I'm not but it just uh I was love and seeing all those wins and I know everybody was too but it was a little disappointing how the weekend ended for a team that uh you know is injury ravaged. Roller coaster riding. You can't hit lefties for two and a half months. You know the thing is going okay. It is and then on the other side there is we've got five all-stars and that doesn't include Manny Machado who's starting to go you know Manny on us. Yeah. All of a sudden uh we've got a gosh Yoka who's not an all-star but has had as good a hitting month as anybody in baseball and it's extended into July now. You know we've got all of that and then you know some other stuff and we we're not more than four games over five hundred. So there's two ways of looking at it. Glass half full. Glass half empty. Scrabby thinks I'm looking at a glass half empty. No no I don't know that I am. No you're looking at a glass half full though. You're positive aren't you? I think for the most part I've been you know I we've hung in there with this team. I mean it's not it's not been easy. They've made it difficult on us from time to time but what was this string? They won 12 out of 15 games. Really good. That's a great run. Now you know you don't want to give it back. Don't want to give it back this week. So you got to take care of the mariners and then the Braves over the next five days and then you know it'll be the all-star break and then it'll just be all crazy. Pandemonium schedule wise. Pandemonium schedule wise. After the all-star break don't look now but the Padres have a what I would consider to be you know on paper a difficult start. Guardian Cleveland at Washington which is going to be should be must watch TV. By the way did you see what Jesse Winker did on his July 4 celebration? He hit the game winning home run in the eighth okay and he walked around in a Uncle Sam hat in a American flag jacket for like two innings or whatever. I thought you weren't supposed to celebrate home runs but well I'm just saying that Washington series is going to be interesting to say the least. So at Cleveland at Washington then at Baltimore and then when they get home after the all-star break first team in is the Dodgers. So it's going to be you know a big stretch after the all-star break and already this bit of bad news the first game off to the all-star break at Cleveland is an Apple TV game. Okay can we can we talk about this for a second. The I don't know how to do this without sounding like I'm nine thousand years old but you sound like me. I I can find these things I can be okay with it but you are 100% telling your fans you do not care if you watch your own your local team because you have to go find it on roku and last year it was the peacock game remember that Chris what they would do the peacock game and it was like super early. I just came up on those games right exactly that's the problem if you want to grow this game stop making it so hard to watch the game. They think that they're doing the right thing. One thing that most people do watch is the homerun derby a couple of additions to that in the recent hours. Marcelo Zuna I think you'd already heard about that yeah he's going to join along with Alec Bohm okay and Pete Alonso you got to have him those are nationally guys and then there's a couple of American league guys that have that have committed one is your guy your favorite guy in baseball Bobby Whit Jr. he's a local guy so look out for him screwing up his swing for the second half it's the first thing I thought of Chris I know and then Gunnar Henderson is the other one so those are the five that have been announced there's still a few more to come on the homerun derby big doings at Wimbledon today we'll talk more about this in the daily gambit which we'll do in the next segment but our guy from Torrey Pines the guy who we can never get a hold of who for some reason just doesn't want to be interviewed by his hometown radio stations and it drives me crazy but he is from uh San Diego he's a former CIF champ and today Taylor Fritz pulled off maybe his greatest win ever as a professional taking on fifth seed uh Alexis Varev in the around to 16 at Wimbledon Fritz was down two sets to love came back to sweep the final three sets and move into the quarter finals so good luck to Taylor Fritz he is um one match away from meeting Djokovic in the semifinals there you go so that could be a big moment for Taylor Fritz but that was a good moment for him to be able to do that you don't watch Wimbledon right am I alone in that I'll watch the pretty much later rounds well we're getting there Coco Gough got knocked out yesterday there's a new already you know Coco Gough is young right it's not like she's over the hill no no but there's somebody else coming now to a younger American trying to push her out of the way Emma Navarro who's a young player from the University of Virginia uh ranked number 19th in the world she toyed with Coco Gough yesterday in the round of 16 it wasn't even close so Navarro moves into the quarter finals and Coco Gough goes home anyway I like watching Wimbledon and so there's your Wimbledon update thank you are you watching the um have you started no have you started watching the hard knocks out of season are you into this yet really why did you get a buzzer oh are we talking about the actual hard knock show like they traditionally do yeah hard knocks out of season the New York Giants it was on last week it's already been oh wait what really yeah are you being serious it's the beginning of July I thought this stuff doesn't start until no they had the first they had the first hard knocks episode it's all about the New York Giants and what they're doing this off season and you know so it follows the general manager and it follows the scouts and it follows the personnel people and them going to all the combines and making trades so that's a new edition because they've never seen that yes is a totally new edition okay I like that okay I like that they're actually thinking hey we need to change this up a little bit well that's what they're doing uh the New York Giants GM already on my negative list what's his name I don't care I don't know I can't remember honestly he's kind of a new guy sorry giant fans Joe Shane thank you they have Joe Shane on the first episode they're following them around and they're in the car and they're in everything uh oh and the first thing Joe Shane says is don't ask me to put on sports talk radio I don't even know where the sports talk radio shows are located if you wanted to listen to sports talk I couldn't even tell you where to begin that's all good guess what Joe I guarantee you're hearing what those people in New York are saying about you and what they're saying about you is that you better turn that franchise around quickly yeah and he's probably last year was a stink season for the New York Giants and you got a lousy quarterback and you've got issues there for sure I think that he's probably pretty smart by not knowing where the sports talk stations are I just don't believe him I don't I don't think he's actually physically listening to the show but to us said something in an interview one time that I will always remember he would it was brought up like he would he gained weight or something and he was slow and so a reporter asked he was like yeah you know it's crazy is that you know one of the PR people has to update me on these lies all the time so they are what I'm saying is they are the wearing it yeah they get the word yeah Giants traded say Juan Barkley which hasn't happened yet in the show but it you know oh this is the kind of thing yeah in the show it hasn't happened yeah because they're going back to January okay but that was the big off season move for the Giants trading away their best player all right I'm gonna go I'm gonna go watch some good luck to the Giants having that all work out yeah I don't know about the team selection you know one thing I realized is I was watching this is I don't know what team anybody's on anymore like where's okay where's Austin Echler commanders commanders yeah and we're say Juan Barkley Eagles Eagles yeah and where's do Staley coaching somewhere else no I don't know not do Staley I'm sorry um who did I mean is a Sean Swift I don't know why I thought DeAndre Swift DeAndre Swift I thought it's a Staley because we had the young man's law's name was Staley that was and oh DeAndre Swift did you trade it didn't he yeah he's not with the Eagles anymore where's he at because if they get the Eagles have say Juan Barkley that's a good one DeAndre Swift is you don't know where DeAndre Swift is you know where Devin Singletary is he's not with Texans Giants oh see a lot of these guys change teams Swift is a Bears guy Swift is with the Bears where's Josh Jacobs yeah I know that one Green Bay Green Bay yes the honor you go Chicago I can't think of any more off the top of my head but I mean I know it was running back carousel during the offseason in the national football league Tiki Barber had a the reason the Chargers have now who's they're running back no one no they have guys oh I mean they don't have their their belt cow yet yes they do they do as long as he stays healthy and he's never healthy who is and if I draft him in fantasy he'll get injured in the first game like he has the last two years Joshua Palmer JK Dobbins oh oh yeah I forgot about that I mean everybody's like what are we just name six teams that changed running backs that fast where's Tony Pollard he is with the Titans he's with the Titans and who is the number one running back for the Cowboys uh I'll tell you who it says here in the depth chart I is his last his last name's Elliot Zeke's back with the Cowboys Ezekiel Elliot yeah what the heck yeah I don't know what the Cowboys are planning to do if they're going to just go with him or I got a couple of other guys Duce Vaughn and Rico Dowdle that's who I was thinking that's who you were thinking of yes I that is pretty crazy I guess we've been so locked in the baseball who's in Minnesota Vikings lead running back now that they've changed it's not Madison no it's not obviously Calvin Cook I have no idea Aaron Jones from Green Bay went to Minnesota really yeah I'm telling you it's it's like uh crazy I'm gonna need to start researching for fantasy football soon I mean I just started doing this kind of off the top of my head but it what what got me wondering was when I was watching that show about the Giants and they were talking about say Juan Barkley and I was thinking they don't even have him anymore but I couldn't think of where he was and then I couldn't think of who they ended up with but it was Devin Singletary's who the Giants ended up with Giants are going nowhere fast TK they're going nowhere fast with that too he had a uh he basically called Austin Echler you know a whiner because Austin Echler wants to get paid which I understand he's stuck in a really tough spot running backs aren't being paid and he's kind of passed where his prime is I guess and teams are looking at it like that right but it's like TK Barber basically said you don't even want to carry the ball every down why are you asking to get paid if you're not willing to do all of the work all right and I kind of get I kind of get that about the running back position like say Juan Barkley's in there every single snap um guys like that aren't you think that say Juan should be paid but Austin Echler should. Austin Echler led the league in touchdowns like five years in a row a five-year dump out doesn't matter to me because a five-year screen isn't a touchdown pass it's a school where if I'd run wow all right sounds like a guy who tried to draft Austin Echler and never could get no thankfully I've never done what do you mean thankfully he's a really good guy in fantasy football I know I'm trying to talk was been great talking out of the existence all right traffic and then a check of the winners and losers some daily gambit kind of a quiet monday scoreboard but we'll find some stuff for you on

world who still write stuff down like i use a pen and a piece of paper i know that's foreign to a lot of people in this day and age i don't think that's that weird for this job but um yeah i'm always sorting my papers out people that is weird yeah people probably watching on the youtube are like what is he doing i am i don't think it's ocd is what it is i have to have everything lined up properly before we get ready to do this segment it is strange i don't have anything here to read it doesn't help me speak but it helps me be comfortable see i have to organize everything i have ocd's and i wish it was an organization thing yeah i don't care about this organization yeah i do i know you do but yeah there's other things i'm ocd like i could leave my house knowing that i locked the door right oh and you go back telling myself i've locked the door that's ocd for sure yeah like literally telling myself hey you have locked the door you go back and i don't do it anymore because i realized but i used to go back and check yeah i know people that used to uh not used to probably still do ocd they uh drive over a bump in the road and convince themselves that they've run over a person oh no i don't have to go around the bat the block oh my god really yeah i've never heard that it can be a tremendously de-abilitating thing ocd and um wow for anybody out there anybody out there there's great help available well who's the what's the movie with jack Nicholson uh as good as it gets yeah he has to like wash his hands a certain number of times before he can move on can be tremendously debilitated no i can't it really really can all right here we go with uh the daily gambit today start with uh some baseball there's not much on the schedule today mets got beat by the uh pirates eight two earlier cardinals are ahead of the gnats four let me see make sure get an updated score here six nothing now favorite the cardinals over the gnats bottom of the ninth um cardinals by the way have passed the padres in the wild card they have they've been on a roll for quite a while we've kind of haven't really even noticed it yeah because they started so terribly yeah they were at the bottom of the division now the cardinals are doing well all right uh it's just great i love it crass is so good for baseball and the cardinals do well sorry their fans are getting annoying oh they're fans somebody brought this up was a you brought it up or someone else no i know i know i know what you're about to say about the whole thing of that they they have the greatest fans they think yes yes and in actuality they're no better than anybody else i think it was on the round table you guys think you're out uh yeah i think you're right uh andrew abbot since and adi red's lefty who stymied the padres earlier this year goes against the colorado rockies tonight in since and adi six and a half strikeouts grave you feeling that oh under under yeah that's the rockies what do i say about the rockies when they're on the road scrappy they can't hate until they get to say until they get here uh i will i hate to say this but it's true rocky still only have one series victory on the road this year oh my god you know what it was was it this one of course it swept the padres here at that go park that's the only road series they've won uh also baseball tonight up in anahime big wager here bruce pochie's rangers favored by a run and a half over the los angeles angels of anahime hmm i'll go first okay texas rangers six games back angels ten and a half rangers of one three in a row they keep it going i'll take texas how about you scrape yeah i'm gonna go rangers i don't see mike trout or anthony rendon anywhere in sight yeah there's been some rumblings and mike child's gonna return soon ish soon ish like 2026 hey we got our own guys to worry about an ish all right everything else is Wimbledon because we're getting down to the nitty gritty i told you about emma navarro she's the 19th ranked player in the world she polished off cocoa golf yesterday so moves into the quarter finals against the seventh seed jasmine peyolini oh who was in the finals of the french open just a few weeks ago okay navarro is favored by two and a half games even though peyolini is a coming off of finals appearance at the french open so who are you gonna go with here you're gonna go with the favor take the american navarro yeah the favorite she's the favorite to just beat golf i'll take peyolini okay but i think navarro's up and coming for sure over and under for that is 22 and a half games 22 and a half that means it's got to go three sets because in two sets you're probably not gonna make it oh i'm first i'll say over i think it'll be a close match i'll say we'll go through i'm gonna follow my lead on the men's side tomorrow number one yannick sinner takes our number five andre medvedev sinner favored by five and a half games in this quarter final match scrappy medvedev is always there you know i i'm gonna take medvedev medvedev plus the points yeah i need it you get five and a half yeah sinner's uh sinner's 42 and three this year as a reason why he's number yeah that's really good it's really good uh but medvedev does play you know he's gonna make him work this uh i'm gonna take medvedev to all right and then finally the other quarter final being played tomorrow number three carlos alcares takes on number 12 american tommy paul over under 38 and a half games i'm gonna get under i think it'll be a four set maybe even a three set match alcarez is much better than tommy paul yeah i'll say under too okay poor tommy paul tommy paul is the highest ranked american right now just ahead of our guy taylor fritts interesting but fritts is gaining ground quickly both of them are in the quarter finals and americans don't normally do well and wimbled them all right there's our daily gambit coming back with matt snider cbs sports talking face of all go back to the program three thirty six is the time chrysello tonic and junior's idol today matt's scrappy alongside the odyssey palace tony back tomorrow i'm assuming so yes with epadre's back in action tomorrow we'll be on from two to about five fifteen tomorrow five thirty five well i believe the game starts at six fifteen tomorrow whoa so that's why i'm uh saying what i'm saying here good job i believe did not pick that up i believe the game starts twenty minutes early tomorrow the heck um yes i not quite sure why that is no sis six forty on my app but that doesn't mean the earth says six forty doesn't mean it's right though the espn padre's schedule says six forty the day after is a three forty start so maybe that's my and my schedule on that said three fifteen interest so i wonder why my schedule is erroneous but it's okay six forty tomorrow and three forty so we'll have a very short show then on wednesday yes unfortunately and then after a week off thursday the roundtable returns i did without a roundtable well you last week you were celebrating with fireworks all over the place fireworks and golf that's right thank you for putting me on the air the other day to talk about my mandatory pines got a lot of reaction to that of course i think we made it sound probably a little better than it was but you know i survived it and i'm you know happy with that now that you're a couple days out did you uh what's your overall feel of the place i want to play it again yeah like i want to do it again now now you know how to play it a little bit well don't know about that i just want another chance at it i felt like i felt like i got unlucky with the sand traps like i was telling you the day i mean they're everywhere so it's not hard to hit into one but i feel like two or three feet either way on a couple of shots and it would have been a you know a little different outcome and the the hard part of the sand traps too is if when you're hitting back onto the green if you don't hit it in the right spot you may roll off the green on the other side some of the sand traps are really really big too oh yeah so if you hit out of it from one side it lands in the other side yeah you can go to stand trap the sand trap too you can do that real easy yes so yeah i i want to play again i had so much fun and and like i said tori pines we don't take we take it for granted here we don't think about it enough but it's got to be one of the more beautiful places on it is well for sure has to be has to be yes you know the other thing i noticed when i was done with my round i went by the golf shop there at tori pines very expensive in there we had also looked like it was tj max on the day after thanksgiving like nothing i have never seen so many people no there were hundreds of people in there really buying golf stuff from tori pines i never see anybody buy anything because it's like seven hundred dollars for sure that i don't know i just know that everybody was in there trying to buy something it looked like wow that's kind of crazy tomorrow the junior world golf tournament for which we were playing in the media gets underway at courses throughout the uh the county they get to play at some good courses yes they do i'll have a lot of fun all right matt snider from cbs sports scheduled to join us i one of our favorite interviews uh on this program talking baseball is uh matt snider from cbs sports and i say that because he's just so happens to be on the air right now i don't say that be only because he's on the air i also say because i really do like chatting with him about the national pastime matt thanks so much for taking some time how are you everything good yeah i'm great uh about a week and told he headed to the all-star game so uh good times always fun the all-star game yeah i think you know that's the part we don't get it's just how much fun it is for everybody to go be there the event i i know teams you know you know front office people don't get a chance to see each other all year get to get together at the all-star game is the all-star game the unofficial place where some of the trade talking begins um i don't know about that i have never heard anything like that it's special for that or anything and i mean in this day and age that's why i always think that the winter meetings have got at the point where they're kind of worthless because people talk with technology all the time these days i guess it is better to meet face-to-face so i suppose it's possible um we've seen deals come together shortly after the all-star game remember maining but each other the daughters that was pretty quick like from the oils the daughters that was pretty quick like right after the all-star game so yeah i suppose it's possible i'd never even really thought about that before yeah one thing we always think about this time of year once the all-star our selections are announced are some of the snubs and you wrote about that today in cbsports.com one thing you didn't have to mention in your article was any padre's getting snubbed we got everybody and then some yeah to the all-star game were you a little surprised that the the padre's ended up with five i mean we're kind of in the same neck of the woods as the fillies and dodgers with that yeah not really because if you look at the individuals who all made it they're all worthy so it's not like any anybody is kind of out of whack and they don't deserve to make it um it just so happens that they're a pretty top heavy team this year and and you know even if you lumped in players that are generally all-star caliber like meany machado zander boogards uh there's a lot of star power on that team it's just kind of thin um but uh yeah it's i mean i i didn't think like i said i thought they all deserved to make it so you know i i didn't have a problem with it at all uh even a rise because i've seen some maybe it's the analytic people who want to pick on a rise because he you know doesn't put up the power type numbers yeah i love to watch this guy hit so i'm happy he's in the all-star game but do you think the people who have a gripe do they have a real gripe or no yeah he would be the one where possibly you could you could argue against that um i'm trying to take it who like if person walker should probably be on the team but i would have christen walker before pita lonzo for example i think it makes the team board well rounded i i'm sure that it's completely driven by batting average um and there are a lot of people who don't like bothering with batting average to just stay in age i i still maintain that while it's the third most important race that because it's not as important as on base percentage it's not as important to plug in percentage it's still important and when the league average isn't down in the 240s and you've got a guy hitting over 300 he's valuable so uh i think you can justify it talking about snider cbs sports.com here on 97 through the fan now jackson meryl it was a nice surprise for us all here in san diego to see him make it to the all-star team and it's not like he's just being thrown in because he's a rookie and they need his name out there what if you do you think he was a deserving of an all-star spot and be what have you thought of his season so far oh yeah he was definitely deserving i mean i think maybe you could make an argument for like brain and memo over him or something but it's that's unexciting there and you know it's this is i don't think that you should change your criteria or anything to make room for something like this but i think you've got to give him credit when he'd never played center field before this season and he learned it on the fly in the spring and then to be in double digits and home runs and stolen bases that's a well-rounded player right there so uh i am perfectly good with him being on the team even if he was one of the last guys taken i i like him i'm there i think it's a good selection man i don't know if you heard he's the first padre rookie ever to make the all-star team ever yeah no i did not hear that that is crazy i thought for sure i just thought off the time i'm ahead to bonito san diego who is a rookie of the year back in the day had made an all-star but apparently not so just a little didn't he have a long hitting for maybe a kidding he was after the all-star break absolutely yeah that's one thing that fixed out my mind as a as a kid was yeah the long hitting streak and he was rookie of the year so yeah i would have thought that too yeah yeah jackson meryl is the first um there are 32 guys that are first-time all-stars overall and probably a few more will be added you know in the days to come does that tell us anything um what it tells me is that guys are better sooner than they ever were before yeah i think so it probably started back in 2011 with mike trout price harper maini machado all coming up together and kind of taking the league by force and then it continued with rhinola kunya junior and one so doe at such a young age and now it continues up through this generation guys like you said they're better than ever at a younger age um but also there's there's veterans in there they're first-timers like Seth Lugo and like age 34 putting it all together so there there are good stories sprinkled throughout in terms of like a broad takeaway other than the players are better than ever at a younger age no not really it's kind of a coincidence i think like i said because you mix in guys like Lugo who are first-timers as veterans or jerks and pro-far for example just putting it all together finally after all these years uh just had we just had a lot of stuff coincidentally happened this season it is true there has been a lot of stuff that's happened and you just mentioned jerks and pro-far talking to matt snider of cbs sports.com and i was saying this on friday it seems like jerks and pro-far is annoying to everyone except for pajre's fans because it seems like everyone has an issue with something that he does whether he runs around the bases too slow or he celebrates a walk-off hit too much um what are you what are your thoughts on pro-far do you do you think he's kind of annoying? no not at all and i'm not a pajre fan so there you go there we go i have not heard of this annoyance so it's well i mean he's when he's not running the bases as fast as he's protecting he's protecting from injured from injury thank you right thank you yeah and when the celebration thing is absolutely nonsense because everybody not everybody but a lot of guys celebrate um that's weird no i think what what sums up pro-far to me the way he's put everything together this year and they they've needed him because machado started slow bo-garx went down tatihs is down right now he he had to step up and he's stepped up and then some but what the perfect illustration for me is that game last week um when's their third and no i think it was friday um when he tied up in the bottom of the ninth when they brought in robert faras yeah and and he gave up the grand slam and then he gave up that to run bomb the reindel grichik and then pro-farb led off the the bottom of the ninth with that home run it's like that's what that was a perfect illustration of what he's meant to this team it's when everything else goes wrong there's pro-far right there to pick everybody up yeah i said the same thing uh about pro-far he's yeah i don't think he's the mvp of the league but he's done mvp type things you know those those are kinds of things that happen you met we let's go right real quick back to jackson meryl paul skeins is a revelation the fans in san diego are already mad because they think jackson meryl is going to lose the rookie of the year to paul skeins i i don't know if they'll be right to be mad but what do you how do you see that or is it too early to to tell because skein seems like he's almost like gimme yeah it's probably too early to tell because the game is only had ten starts um by the end of the year you don't know are the pirates going to shut them down or they can limit his workload they were handling him with kid blows at the start of the year so it's hard to tell him how much of a workload he's going to have but let's say if he ends up around a hundred innings gosh it's awfully tough for me to give it to a pitcher with only a hundred innings you know but if he gets up to like 135 to 140 he's probably going to have so much value there that you'd have to give it to him over meryl it's it'll be interesting to see how both play and the second half and again how much of workload the pirates allow schemes to take on but um games obviously would be the sexy pick it seems like that's all anybody wants to talk about and uh he might start the all-star game which would be amazing he's the first ever guy to be drafted number one overall and then make the all-star team to vary next year so that's a that's a heck of a story it's just it's only ten starts it's not even sixty innings so what kind of workload is he going to end up with this is why i love mai he has everything in perspective because we have a chance for jackson meryl to still win because there's people like that out there exactly and i saw this uh i got like a newsletter every day from baseball not from a baseball site and it said paul skis it was going through all the big things he's done so far this year and it said struck out of tawny on three pitchers over a hundred miles an hour no one talks about the next at bat when a tawny took them deep for a two run shot i don't understand i mean i do understand the paul skis you want to know whether to something he already you know what okay for the scrappy show i'm going to go over his run support because he's getting help from the run support as well Chris okay all right i just i was curious to see obviously i anybody who says that people think war is the only set that matters that's nonsense it's just a tool it's a catch-all they're in essentially a dead heat and war right now at baseball reference.com's version jackson meryl 2.5 war paul skis is 2.6 so if somebody was looking at that they're in a dead heat. All right real quick matt what do you trade deadline if you're the Padres you just had a nice run you won 12 out of 15 games but you also just heard that you darvish is on personal leave and may not be back at all we don't even know um you know and some of these teams in the wild card are two three games behind you know a couple of them we're gonna make a run so the Padres probably have to do something don't they and if so you know would it be a tinker thing or do you think that they can pull off something big i mean aj prolery i guess we never know you the mad scientist so if you look at the construction of the roster you have to be all in right you have to pretty much do whatever you can to make the playoffs and hope that they make a deep playoff run um otherwise what are we even doing with all these huge contracts and and you know it's i know they traded one soda one year away from free agency but still the rest of the makeup of the roster says win now um so and look we just saw the Diamondbacks make the World Series from 84 wins last year uh the the Padres team two years ago was maddeningly inconsistent and they never got tough teeth back and they're waiting all year for that um and they ended up in the NLCS so you they know all too well that all you've got to do is make it there and then anything can happen so i think they've got to be all in it's just it's so hard to to find the sellers right now like i think that the Blue Jays and Tigers have probably fallen enough down that you can say they're sellers but you know and we see a report about the Rangers maybe they'll be sellers now but above them in the American league the Rays are too close even though they just traded some Volley that was to make room for Shane Boz um but there's you know nine 10 teams in contention on the national league side the the Cubs have the third worst record after the Marlins and Rockies who are obvious sellers but the Cubs are five and a half out it's kind of hard to sell when you're five and a half out i think um the next. Welcome back to the program three thirty six is the time. Chris Ella. Tony van jr's idol today. Matt Scrabie alongside the Odyssey Palace. Tony back tomorrow. I'm assuming so yes with the Padres back in action tomorrow we'll be on from two to about five fifteen tomorrow five thirty five well i believe the game starts at six fifteen tomorrow whoa so that's why i'm uh saying what i'm saying here good job i believe did not pick that up i believe the game starts 20 minutes early tomorrow the heck um yes i'm not quite sure why that is no it's a 640 on my app but that doesn't mean the earth says 640 doesn't mean it's right though the ESPN Padres schedule says 640 the day after is a 340 start so maybe that's my and my schedule on that said 315 interesting so i wonder why my schedule is erroneous but it's okay 640 tomorrow and 340 so we'll have a very short show then on Wednesday yes unfortunately and then after a week off Thursday the roundtable returns i did without a roundtable well you last week you were celebrating with fireworks all over the fireworks and golf that's right thank you for putting me on the air the other day to talk about my roundatory pines got a lot of reaction to that of course i think we made it sound probably a little better than it was but you know i survived it and i'm you know happy with that now that you're a couple days out did you uh what's your overall feel of the place i want to play it again yeah like i want to do it again now now you know how to play it a little bit well don't know about that i just want another chance at it i felt like i felt like i got unlucky with the sand traps like i was telling you the day i mean they're everywhere so it's not hard to hit into one but i feel like two or three feet either way on a couple of shots and it would have been a you know a little different outcome and the so hard part but those sand traps too is if when you're hitting back onto the green if you don't hit it in the right spot you may roll off the green on the other side some of the sand traps are really really big too oh yeah so if you hit out of it from one side it lands in the other side yeah you can go it's sand trap the sand trap too you can do that real easy yes so yeah i want to play again i had so much fun and and like i said tori pines we don't take we take it for granted here we don't think about it enough but it's got to be one of the more beautiful places on it is well for sure has to be has to be yes you know the other thing i noticed when i was done with my round i went by the golf shop there at tori pines very expensive in there we had also looked like it was tj max on the day after thanksgiving like nothing i have never seen so many people no there were hundreds of people in there really buying golf stuff from tori pines i never see anybody buy anything because it's like seven hundred dollars for sure that i don't know i just know that everybody was in there trying to buy something it looked like wow that's kind of crazy tomorrow the junior world golf tournament for which we were playing in the media gets underway at courses throughout the uh the county they get to play at some good courses yes they do i'll have a lot of fun all right matt snider from cbs sports scheduled to join us i one of our favorite interviews uh on this program talking baseball is uh matt snider from cbs sports and i say that because he's just so happens to be on the air right now i don't say that be only because he's on the air i also say because i really do like chatting with him about the national pastime matt thanks so much for taking some time how are you everything good yeah i'm great uh about a week until i'd be headed to the all-star game so uh good times always fun the all-star game yeah i think you know that's the part we don't get it's just how much fun it is for everybody to go be there the event i i know teams you know you know front office people don't get a chance to see each other all year get to get together at the all-star game is the all-star game the unofficial place where some of the trade talking begins um i don't know about that i have never heard anything like that it's special for that or anything and i mean in this day and age that's why i always think that the winter meetings is kind of the point where there it's kind of worthless because people talk with technology all the time these days i guess it is better to meet face-to-face so i suppose it's possible we've seen deals come together shortly after the all-star game remember maining but child are the daughters that was pretty quick like from the Orioles the daughters that was pretty quick like right after the all-star game so yeah i suppose it's possible i'd never even really thought about that before yeah uh one thing we always think about this time of year once the all-star our selections are announced are some of the snubs and you wrote about that today in cbsports.com uh one thing you didn't have to mention in your article was any padre's getting snubbed we got everybody and then some to the all-star game were you a little surprised that the the padre's ended up with five i mean we're kind of in the same neck of the woods as the fillies and dodgers with that yeah not really because if you look at the individuals who all made it they're all worthy so it's not like any anybody is kind of out of whack and they don't deserve to make it um it just so happens that they are a pretty top heavy team this year and you know even if you lumped in players that are generally all-star caliber like maining mochado zander boogarts there's a lot of star power on that team it's just kind of thin um but uh yeah it's i mean i didn't think like i said i thought they all deserve to make it so you know i i didn't have a problem with it at all uh even a rise because i've seen some maybe it's the analytic people who want to pick on a rise because he you know doesn't put up the power type numbers yeah i love to watch this guy hit so i'm happy he's in the all-star game but do you think that people who have a gripe do they have a real gripe or no he he yeah he would be the one where possibly you could you could argue against that um i'm trying to think of who like if person walker should probably be on the team but i i would have christian walker before pita lonzo for example i think it makes the team board well rounded i i'm sure that it's completely driven by batting average um and there are a lot of people who don't like bothering with batting average to just stay in age i i still maintain that well it's the third most important race that because it's not as important as i'm based percentage it's not as important a plugin percentage it's still important and when the league averages down in the two forties and you've got a guy hitting over three hundred he's valuable so uh i think you can justify it talking about snider cbs sports.com here on 97 through the fan now jackson meryl it was a nice surprise for us all here in san diego to see him make it to the all-star team and it's not like he's just being thrown in because he's a rookie and they need his name out there what have you do you think he was a deserving of an all-star spot and be what have you thought of his season so far oh yeah he was definitely deserving i mean i think maybe you could make an argument for like brandon emo over him or something but that's unexciting there and you know it's this is i don't think that you should change or criteria or anything to make room for something like this but i think you've got to give him credit when he'd never played centerfield before this season and he learned it on the fly in the spring and then to be in double digits and home runs and stolen bases that's a well-rounded player right there so uh i am perfectly good with him being on the team even if he was one of the last guys taken i i like him i'm there i think it's a good selection. Matt i don't know if you heard he's the first padre rookie ever to make the all-star team ever yeah no i did not hear that that is crazy i thought for sure i just thought off the top i'm ahead the bonito saniaga who is a rookie of the year back in the day had made an all-star but apparently not so well yes a little didn't he have a long hitting for maybe a hitting he did he was after the all-star break absolutely yeah that's one thing that fixed out my mind as as a kid was yeah the long hitting freak and he was rookie of the year so yeah i would have thought that too yeah yeah jackson

skeins is 2.6 so if somebody was looking at that they're in a dead heat all right real quick uh mat uh what do you trade deadline if you're the Padres you just had a nice run you won 12 out of 15 games but you also just heard that you darvish is on personal leave and may not be back at all we don't even know um you know and some of these teams in the wild card are two three games behind you know a couple of them we're going to make a run so the Padres probably have to do something don't they and if so you know would it be a tinker thing or do you think that they can pull off something big i mean aj prolery i guess we never know he's a mad scientist so if you look at the construction of the roster you have to be all in right you had to pretty much do whatever you can to make the playoffs and hope that they make a deep playoff run um otherwise what are we even doing with all these huge contracts and and you know it's i know they traded one soda one year away from free agency but still the rest of the makeup of the roster says win now um so and look we just saw the Diamondbacks make the World Series from 84 wins last year uh the the Padres team two years ago was maddeningly inconsistent and they never got tough teeth back and they're waiting all year for that um and they ended up in the nlcs so you they know all too well that all you've got to do is make it there and then anything can happen so i think they've got to be all in it's just it's so hard to to find the sellers right now like i think that the blue jays and tigers have probably fallen enough down that you can say they're sellers but you know and we see a report about the rangers maybe they'll be sellers now but above them in the american league the the raiser too close even though they just traded some volley that was to make room for shane boughs um but there's you know nine ten teams in contention on the national side the cubs have the third worst record after the marlin's and rocky's who are obvious sellers but the cubs are five and a half out it's kind of hard to sell when you're five and a half out i think um the national seem like they would be a seller but they're only five out um so it's just it's going to be tough because there are teams let's say the the Orioles for example if they decide to flex their muscles they have so much more prospect depth than the Padres do and they desperately need starting pitching and bullpen help uh so you know it's going to be tough out there i think that's kind of what baseball had in mind you know by extending the the wild card to keep more people in it and keep there from being a bunch of sell-offs in the month of july matt always great talking to you enjoy the uh enjoy the all-star game and the festivities next week and uh can never thank you enough for you know consistently coming on our show and making time for us we really do appreciate it thanks again and uh look forward to talking to you soon all right sounds good have a good one yes sir there you go matt snotter very good from cbs sports well the skeens thing i like because in his mind it's not a guaranteed done thing i think in a lot of people's mind it is skeens is the rookie of the year and well tough if you're jackson meryl if you're a but he's bringing up some points that are fair and that is how much the skeens gonna end up pitching you know if jackson meryl plays every day in center field for a whole season she basically is that's got to come into be part of the equation it definitely does uh if you're just looking at regular social media for for mlb there's two players that they really want you to love shohio tani and paul skeens yeah they force those guys on all of us all right we're gonna uh might do much of a hater today chris no you're good okay plus you're tired you sit up all night i'm really i'm really actually like more tired than i've been in a long time and really i'm mad at the dogs right now and apparently you get
