Uh, Los Angeles Lakers currently introducing the 17th overall pick in the draft. Dalton Connect, who a lot of people think is going to be an all-star one day, but nobody even notices he's there because they're also introducing the 55th pick in the draft. Bronnie James, we'll talk more about Bronnie in the Big Five at the bottom of this hour. Welcome back to Gwen and Chris, Chris Elotone Gwen Jr., down in Texas with the Padres. And he'll be rejoining us for that Big Five in a little while. Matt Scrabies alongside here in the Odyssey Palace Studios. Four o'clock, a little after four o'clock for Sam Levitt's pregame show, and then a little after five o'clock, Nathan Evaldi will tee one up, hopefully tee one up for Luis Arise and say, what's this tea time? Yeah, the game will get underway with a rise leading it off against Evaldi, Jerrickson Profar will be in the two slot tonight, Jake Croninworth, Manny Machado gets a DH night, Donovan Solano, this kid, Jackson Merrell, who's been pretty good, I heard him, he'll be in center field, Hassan Kim, Kyle, Higash Yoka, and Bryce Johnson. I'm a little surprised, I mean, I'd have to ask Mike Schilt about it and I don't know if anybody has, you know, I'm surprised that Peralta's not getting some time in right field. And Tony said he's been a bit of a liability defensively, maybe the Padres just think that, you know, they've got enough hitting right now to where they can, you know, go without Peralta and get the better defense and speed with Bryce Johnson. But I thought, you know, once Fernando got hurt, we'd see a little bit more of Peralta against right handed pitching, but that really hasn't been the case, I've been going with Bryce Johnson and, you know, it's been working, right? They've won nine of their last 11 games. So we'll see where it goes tonight. Padres have won at least five straight down a globe life field. They swept the series there in 2021 with Musgrove throwing the no hitter. They also swept two games in 2020 during the COVID season. And that's where slam Diego was born. So keep the good times rolling in Texas tonight. Rangers still without your guy. It's just on command now. It is. There's no way to say Corey Seager's name now without, you know, giving it the Rob Manford touch. But Corey is not in the lineup tonight. Bruce Bocey saying just a short time ago that Seager is coming along from the, I guess it's a hamstring hamstring. So he's not ready yet. And the Padres won't have to deal with him in this probably and not in this series. So yeah, let's see if the Padres can keep things going. I want to remind you, listen to Sam Levitt's podcast, it's called inside San Diego baseball. Sam covers everything going on with the Padres. And you know that nobody covers the Padres like our own Sam Levitt. It's true. You can find the podcast at 97 three, the fan SD dot com, the Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Sammy is fast at work out there getting ready for tonight's pregame show. He's wearing his a 97 through the fan Padres polo. Yes, he does. He looks very official out there. He does get already outside of our very official Padres play in Texas. And then that's it for the road before the all-star breaks grade. No more road games after this series. It's a good point, Chris. You're welcome. They will start their last homestand Friday against Arizona Friday night. This July 5th, Petco Park. It is Star Wars weekend. Ooh. Scrabie, I don't like to, you know, not promote something because they're asking us to promote it. So I will. Where are you going? I just don't care about Star Wars. I've never understood the whole, I just don't get it. I don't get it. I never really got it. I mean, I know I breathe into the microphone like Darth Vader, but I've never really gotten the whole Star Wars thing. I went to the original back in the day. You know, that's a long time ago now. I find your lack of faith disturbing. Yeah, sorry about that. Obi-Wan or whoever that was. I think you just committed a cardinal sin on the radio, sir. You think? And admitted that you didn't like Star Wars. Yeah, I don't get it. You can't do that. Why not? Because there are some serious people in this world, Taylor Swift fans are one of them. Star Wars fans are the other ones. Are they the other ones? Yeah. Is it bigger than like Comic Con people? Because I don't get that either. So. Bigger than Comic Con people? Or Star Wars the same as Comic Con people. Oh, they're kind of the same, yeah. One of the same. Yeah. There are Star Wars conventions at Comic Con. Yeah. You can go and see like those, what are they? People walk around and dress up as Stormtroopers. Like not on Halloween, I feel it, but I don't understand it. If you were to dress up like a Star Wars character, what would you dress up as? I wouldn't be anybody. Because Stormtrooper would not be my head. Well, Stormtrooper seems I could get a little stuffy in there. It would get really stuffy. Yes. I don't know who I would be, but maybe Yoda. I think it would be fun. I was thinking of Yoda. Anyway, Star Wars weekends coming up this Friday, there'll be a special Star Wars beer fest presented by Southwest Airlines before the game Gallagher Square $5 drink specials. Star Wars themed characters will be out there and all weekend long with the purchase of a special theme game ticket. You can get your hands on the special Nando Calrissian bobblehead. You want to explain what that is? Because I have no idea. Well, I believe the original name is Lando Carlissian. Okay. But this is going to be Nando because it's going to be a Fernando Star Wars themed bobblehead. Oh, yes. Lando is Carl Wethers character or not sorry, I'm sorry to Carl Wethers. Billy D. Williams. Billy D. Williams. Yes. Yes. Well, Fernando Nando Calrissian bobblehead this weekend. All right. Enough on Star Wars. Sorry. No, I can keep talking. I know the people want to, you know, they want to hate they can hate. Next week, Padres take on the Seattle Mariners get a 1984 edition throwback hat. Of course, 84 was a classic year 40th anniversary of that World Series team. And then the following weekend before the all star break, Padres will wrap things up against the Atlanta Braves. And they got a bunch of fun stuff going on that weekend, including a limited of Luis Campusano pins, et cetera. I think you should be a home stand coming up for the, the Friars after they get done in Texas. Sorry for cutting into your actual work we were doing, but I really think that you should dress up as C three P.O. I could see you as C three P.O. Now, if I didn't want to be the stormtrooper, why would I want to jam myself and sign the metal? Because it would be fun to talk to you that is C three P.O. And you would have to worry about everything because C three P.O. is always worrying about everything. You'd have to have an English accent. I'd have to have an English accent, which I don't have. You would get one. Yeah. Or maybe you could be R2 D two. And all you have to do is beat. How about if I just be, well, I, I will tell you, even though I'm not a Star Wars guy, my favorite character in Star Wars do have one. Okay. Who is it? It's a runaway for Chewbacca. Yeah. Go for Chewy. They're easy, but I don't think I'd want to be the Chewbacca character either. That seems like another sweaty outfit. So I think the one I would vote for is just I'll be Han Solo and then I could just put a hat on and I'm good to go. Han Solo gets frozen in carbonite though. You don't want to be frozen in carbonite, bro. I would be him before that happens. Okay. All right. Han Solo does have a pretty sweet life up until the point where he gets frozen in carbonite. Things are good for Han most of the time. Of course, I used to think his name was Hans, but it's not, it's Han Solo. Yes. Han Solo. I thought the yes was on. Yeah. Have you ever seen the actual like, because they made a movie about Han Solo. It's called solo. Everybody said it was really bad. I think I liked it. So yeah, like I said, Star Wars and I have never gotten along. Padre's, if Kyle, he got she Oka homers tonight, something to keep an eye on. He would be the seventh Padre to reach double figures in home runs this year. Now, Scrabie, uh, efforted me or challenged me with a test yesterday to go through all the baseball and find out which team has the most double figure home run guys. It was much easier to do than I thought. The Orioles have seven guys with 10 home runs, but the Padres have six. And a gosh, Yoka could be number seven tonight. There are so many things about their stats that you would tell me just on face value. I'd be like, Oh, they're having a great season. They're 10 games, over 500 when you have six guys on your team that have double digit home runs, you would think a lot of wins would pile up too. When you consider that one of the guys that doesn't is Louisa rise and he's a, you know, a fantastic hitter, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's six guys are in the line up tonight. Obviously, Tetis is not in the lineup, but, you know, the depth on this team offensively is pretty impressive until they go out and score no runs against left handed pitching for two months. So it's, you know, it's, you just feel good about certain things and certain things continue to kind of drive you a little crazy with this baseball team. But right now, nine of 11, let's hope they keep it going. Overall tonight, overall, they're, they're feeling, I'm feeling good about them. Everybody's feeling good right now, but, you know, two weeks can change it. And that's why I'm worried still in the back, you know, I get it. I get it. We can't fully forget about the journey that we, we took getting here. Yes. We've been up and down. It's a roller coaster. Chris. No, it isn't. Can't use that. I'm sorry. That is the definition. Oh, it sees it is the definition of a roller coaster. It's the most perfect description I've ever heard for this season is roller coaster and the fact that Mike She'll, well, not just accept that, you know, is causes me great consternation if it got you up the homers tonight, they want you to dress up as Chewbacca. Yeah. How am I? Let's just say I said, okay. Where would I go? Where would I go pick up a Chewbacca out? No, I'm just going to say you have to dress up like a Star Wars character. If I got you. Tomorrow. No, I mean in the future, maybe on Star Wars, I don't know if I got you Oklahoma's only tonight. Only tonight. Yeah. I'm going to say no to that. Okay. We just signed a mark. Justin case. I'm saying no, uh, daily gamut though, I'm saying yes that comes up after traffic. I do it while making coffee. I do it in the car. I do it when the kids are asleep. What are they all doing?

No, he's a great guy. A lot of people wouldn't do that. He's the perfect representation of a local guy done well for the local team. Yeah. You know, that's just it for Musgrove. I mean, I don't know anybody who's not a fan of Musgrove. I do. You know, well, those people aren't a non-fan, they're just not happy that he's not pitching right now. Which still I can't be mad at. It doesn't mean that they don't like him. You know, I mean, look, where's you Darvish? I have no idea. Remember when he was coming back, the next day he was supposed to start, and then they pushed him back, and he's still out. That was three weeks ago. No. Three weeks ago. No. I think it was like a week and a half. Yeah. But, you know, I mean, hopefully, you know, after the all-star break, we start hearing from these guys because I've said before, Padres are doing it a little with mirrors right now. They got four really key players that are hurt. I don't know a lot of teams who make it all the way to the postseason without four big guns out of the lineup. I think these guys are going to have to come back at some point. Yeah. You know, it doesn't seem like it at the moment, but I think it will. Yeah, the you Darvish thing kind of, I guess it doesn't make me angry, but it kind of makes me angry because I just want to know what's happening with you Darvish. It would be nice. It would honestly, you know, here's the thing, and we've talked about this before with the Padres and every other team. So Padres aren't the only one that does this. They don't want to tell us the truth, the Padres, they don't want to tell us the truth. So you don't want to tell us the truth, but in not telling us the truth, you're making him look like kind of a lazy bum that he can't get back and play. So you're doing him in my mind, you're doing you Darvish, a disservice in the minds of us, the fans by not telling us, Hey, look, he's got this. He's out, he won't be back until X and that's just the way it is, then we can at least deal with it. We might not like it, but at least we know. Well, in this regard, we don't know. It keeps going like this where he is a couple days away from making his start. Everything is great. He's feeling good. And then the day before they push it back because he's, he has a swelling in his elbow or something like that. And then you don't hear about it for, for a week and a half, it's like, wait, he was about to make his start and now we haven't talked about it on a week and a half. Where is he? And then every time they ask about it, AJ Casaville, Kevin A.C., one of those guys ask about it. Oh, he's just the same old, it's the same old, well, he's, you know, we saw him today. He's coming along and we'll, you know, get back into it later. Yeah. Well, that's not, you know, just, I don't know, it's not, it makes natural, it's not national security at stake. If we find out how you Darvish's arm is. It makes me around telling us. I'm really angry. Yeah. Erationally, I should say. Erationally angry. Yes. Yes. Darvish has not won a game for the Padres since May 19th. Yet this team is still doing what it's doing. Daily gambit, we're going to have to hustle. Do you like money? I think about money. I'll watch. Do you like money without doing anything? Uh, that winning. Do you want to make money while watching sports? I think Washington is immortal luck. Washington. Woohoo! If you answer yes, this is your segment. Just don't blame us when you lose. Nothing is ever your fault. It's okay. Take it. Gwen and Chris go through the top bets of the day in the Daily Gambit on 97.3 the fan. Daily Gambit is our daily sports bank segment here on Gwen and Chris. Thanks everybody, gamble responsibly, a reminder to stay tuned for the Eco Water SoCal Padres pregame show with Sam Levitt coming up next on 97.3 the fan. I believe it starts at 405. So let's get into it. Set your watch. Set your watch to it. Uh, alright, first bet that we made yesterday would be the wings and the Seattle Storm. The storm were 11 and a half point favorites. We all chose the storm. Storm won big 95.71. Blue amount. Yes. Oh, Goomba Walla over under 22 and a half points in the game and what's 22 and a half points? Yes. Okay. You guys went over. I went under. She was just under at 21 points. 21, man. Those, those uh, odds makers are good. Going to get it close. Wimbledon. It's not Wimbledon. I said done. Yeah, I didn't quite hear that. Wimbledon. Alright done. Yeah. Good joke of it. Minus nine and a half on the spread. And you guys chose Veets Kapoora. That was a joke. Disguised. Shouldn't even have been out. I chose joke of it. Come on. 616162 Heat Jokovic wins. He crushed this guy. I mean, as I said yesterday, isn't the guy a professional tennis player? I mean, did he get the ball over the net? God. I don't know. He doesn't. Can't believe I wasted my hard earned prediction on him. The Mets were minus one and a half on the run line over the Nationals last night. This was actually kind of a crazy game. They went into the 10th inning, tied 3-3. Chris and I chose the Nationals. Tony chose the Mets. The Mets put up six runs in the top of the 10th and the Nationals did their best. They ended up losing by 2-9-7. So the Mets... And they had the winning run at the plate. They did. And who was it? Kaver Ruiz, who I believe. And a quick note on James Wood, who I know it's the greatest thing ever now that he got a hit and scored a run. We made the dumbest trade ever. Just asked yourself, how many times James Wood has led the Padres to the National League Championship Series before you completely give up on that trade? That's all I'm saying. Okay. He also needs the chin strap on his helmet. He got the... He got the Husband Kim. He got the Husband Kim. He got the Husband Kim. When you got on base on the 9th inning, I think it was a 10th inning, whichever it was. He gets the first, realizes they could go to second, but his helmet was falling off of his head. So he tried for a second to catch his helmet and then he ran to second. I don't know why these helmets don't fit. Alright. Milwaukee, Colorado. This was also an entertaining game. Over under 11 and a half runs total in the game. Chris went under. Tony and I went over and it was over, but the Rockies, they won 8-7. Thrilling baseball. It was for your course field. I gotta say, Charlie Blackman hitting home runs. Charlie's, I think a second or third of the year, Charlie. That's it? Yeah. You don't have many. Brendan Doyle hit two. He did. Yes. Where he is. Alright. Las Vegas, 13 and a half over Indiana tonight. WNBA. This is a marquee matchup. The aces are the two-time defending champs. Indiana's got, you know, what's her name on the roster. So all eyes will be on this game in Las Vegas, where the aces are favored by 13 and a half over Caitlin Clark. This is a tough ask for Caitlin Clark. I'm going to go with Las Vegas. That's a lot of points, but there are. Yeah. That's the only thing I'm thinking. I'm going to go fever just because of the amount of points. Too many points. Caitlin Clark's over under is two and a half three pointers. Mm-hmm. Well, she makes three threes in this game against the aces. Yes or no? No. People waiting in line behind you? No. No. All right. I'll say yes. Why not? Okay. Got to heave up a couple. Asia Wilson, 27 and a half points over under. She's the leading scorer in the WNBA. I don't think Indiana has anybody who can stop her. I'll say over. Yeah, me too. Wow. She's very good. Asia. Asia. I saw her as a freshman against the Aztecs one year. Which play for? South Carolina. Oh, oh, there you go. That did not go well for the Aztecs. I was going to say Padres one and a half favored at Texas tonight. Riding the hot streak, Scraving. Yes, I am taking the Padres. I'll take Texas here just because it's been a roller coaster season seven and a half runs tonight. Cease and Evaldi, but seven and a half is not very money. I'll say over. Yeah, I'm going to say over to five to three, something like that who lasts longer tonight Cease or Evaldi? More innings pitched. Okay. Cease or Evaldi. Scraving. Look into your crystal ball here. Okay, let me look. I'm looking. I'm looking. I'm going to say don't see's coming off of a very strong start. Yes. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with Cease also because the Rangers are not as good hitters as the Padres. And I got a couple more here, but we're out of time. So there you go. You were four and one yesterday. I was one and four. So I'll see if anything changes. I'll take it on the gambit today. All right, very good. We've got the big five coming up next and Scravey and I are latest complaint. I don't even know if complaint is a strong enough word grievance grievance for all you people. I'm good with those words. For all you people who continue despite our repeated requests to back diagonally into parking spaces, it's all coming up. I said, you love Mediterranean food like we do. I try Spiro's authentic Mediterranean cuisine, cornado, La Jolla, and now at Petco Park for dining your takeout options, visit spiro's cuisine dot com. Chris, Elo, Tony Gwen, Jr. That's crazy. Show's name, Gwen and Chris location, 97 three, the fan, which happens to be San Diego's number one sports talk station. Big five is coming up shortly. Then we send it to Sam Lovett in the Padres pregame show. Before we get out of here though, our grievance against all of you people. Oh, yes. Let keep diagonally backing into parking spaces. I'll give you a preview of what we're going to say, stop it. That's a preview. This is actually a Chris story. So it's not a me story. I'm just hearing the story. You're in on it. Yes, of course. Okay. But before that, let's check traffic and then get to the big five number five. So I was at the dog park yesterday when lucky was, you know, in better, better moods and better spirits. But that's not the question. The topic of conversation was Jackson Merrill and Kyle Higashiyoka because that's what we do when we go to the dog park. We talk Padres, but you and the dog? No, no, me and the dog owners. Oh, yes. So obviously we were also talking about the mid season MVP to this point. And someone did say Higashiyoka, someone did say Jackson Merrill, I didn't say either of those two. But Tony, who is your Padres mid season MVP? It's Jerrickson Profar. I don't know that it's. I don't know. I neither of these guys even thought of him. Like what? I think Jerrickson is, I mean, he's having, there's a reason why he's the, you know, one of the top vote getters in the national league. And this is a guy who is not a perennial all star. So I would say it's a Jerrickson Profar question that Profar is the guy. Um, you know, the fact that he had 17 RBIs in April, 17 in May and 17 plus in June. You know, he's been consistent. The whole time. It's not like he's just had one hot streak. Yeah. He's been doing it all year. He's been at the middle of every key development of this entire season. Yep. He's got two grand slams. He's five for five with the bases loaded, 17 RBIs. And he's the spirit of this team. So I think he's the guy. And honestly, if they'll do your respect to your friends, I think the second most valuable is Robert Suarez. So I think Marilyn Higashyoka had been the hottest of late. But if you're looking at the whole first half, those are the two I would go with. Yeah. No, they're, they're, they're not my friends, Chris. They're my dog park, your dog park people. Associates. Don't just own them as your friend. No kidding. They're probably listening. They're probably listening right now going on a lot of kids and you just docked them all. You know who you are who said Calagashyoka and I'm sorry that I slightly laughed when you said Calagashyoka because Calagashyoka is not even close to the MVP. If I'm going to say anyone else other than Robert Suarez or jerks and pro far, it's got to be Matt Waldron. Right. Right. I don't know. I'm not your friend. I wouldn't know. Well, that's good. I'm glad we've kept that together. That's right. For Anthony Rendon, who has a hamstring injury said recently that he's quote, definitely close to coming back and is still deciding whether to go out on a rehab assignment. Jeff Fletcher of the OC register reports, a rehab assignment wouldn't be the worst thing considering he's missed two months of action with a high grade partial tear of his left hamstring. Rendon did say he was open to the possibility of playing rehab games before coming off the 60DIL, but the Angels can't force him to do so. And I'm not saying that he said that part. It's just part of the story. Either way, the veteran third baseman should be clear to play a game soon. If he's able to sprint in consecutive days without an issue, Chris, does Anthony Rindone does Anthony Rindone need a minor league rehab start? Anthony Rendon does. I don't know about Rindone. Rindone does. But Anthony Rindone is not. You know, I was just going to. Oh, Rindone. He takes a lot of heat, especially from you on this show, because, you know, he's missed games, a hamstring, et cetera. Why don't you ever mention Alec Thomas of the Arizona Diamondbacks? So now with a hamstring injury in the fourth game of the season and is still not back yet for the Arizona Diamondbacks, they're hoping he's going to be back sometime this week. He has been, I think, to two or three rehab stints. And every time he re-injures it and he's back out again. The point is, these hamstring things, even if it happens to a guy like Rindone, can be difficult to overcome. That's how I get this Rindone, and this has been the year for injuries. I mean, you can put, I mean, Rindone's every year, I get it, but, I mean, you got trout, you got a kunya. I mean, you got bets. You can say kunya. You've got a Hall of Fame, basically, of guys that are injured and out right now. And I probably left out a few. Yeah. Can Anthony Rindone need some rehab starts, or can you just go right back into the major leagues? I mean, listen, if you're going to hurt it, would you rather hurt it in my leagues or but a big leagues? I mean, that's what Alex Thomas is doing. He's going down there, rehabbing, hurting it down there. Yeah. Not that it matters. But it's just like, if I'm going to go out, I'd rather go out on this field than be playing a game that doesn't even count for anything, you know, other than testing it. So I listen, if I were him, I would. I'd go down there, make sure, you know, because then you can kind of test. You can kind of play with the gears a little bit, if you will. Like, what can I get to and be okay? Do I need to drag this leg for like a day or two? You know, you kind of figure out, and that kind of, at least a little bit more controlled environment. So personally, I would, but I get it going down to the 3A or whatever's closest, usually. It isn't like the greatest thing ever. What is Anaheim's AAA team? They're in Salt Lake, I believe. I think they're in Salt Lake, so. That's far. You got it. It's not close. The Salt Lake B's, man, they really stretched hard for that nickname there. Leave the V's alone, and then the hockey club, isn't it? 1,000%. It actually has a name. Alright, Bronnie James, the 55th pick of the 2024 NBA draft, plans to sign a multi-year guaranteed contract with the Lakers, according to Sham's Sharanya of the Athletic. With this contract, it does guarantee that once the season begins, James will be a solidified player on the roster alongside his father, LeBron James. Quickly though, players who are selected in the second round have not received guaranteed contracts. They've instead had to compete at a high level at both NBA Summer League and their respective team's trading camps to even receive a two-way contract. And I did not write that. That was part of the ESPN article. Tony. I hope, I hope, I really hope that we cover LeBron on his show, Jr. as much as we're covering this angle that we are covering over the last since he got drafted. Well, let me, I mean, okay, my question was going to be a blanket. What do you think about this, but this seems kind of like a weird deal. If other guys have to work for their contacts, and if that doesn't, I'm not saying that he doesn't, I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve to be in, what are you saying, then that's great, what are you saying, because Tony, when you got drafted in the major leagues, you still had to go to AAA, you used to all the work your way up through the minor league system. You didn't just get a spot on the roster. You had to do that too. Some, some could argue that I got my name in the hat though, because of who my dad was. Maybe, but you still had to prove yourself. Some could make that argument. Well, NBA is still, it's not the same. You don't have a full on minor league system that you have to go through in order to get to big leagues. They have a minor league system that they sparingly use. So it's just not, it's not apples and apples comparison. Okay. All right. Well, what do you think about Brony James? And yes, we will be covering that. I don't, I, I, I hope that, uh, gosh, what is his name? Brony? Oh, I hope that JJ Redick and the rest of the staff know what they're doing. Ultimately, because he, he's going to be, you know, he might be a guy that gets no minutes. There's no ticks, but he's still going to be an NBA roster. So I just want to see the kid develop and, and get better. I, uh, if they feel like he is the best of what I think is 15, the best 15, he's part of that. All right. But I'll have a bigger issue if I see him like getting minutes and he doesn't deserve a minute. Like it, like he's getting out there and it's actually hurting the team. Okay. Uh, I have a problem with all right, Chris. What do you think about this? Well, I think, uh, in all honesty here, I think, uh, a lot of the reason that the Lakers drafted him is because he's the son of LeBron James, uh, and I don't think that that's a big problem. Number one, uh, number two, I don't think there's anything wrong with handing him per say the 14th or 15th spot on the roster. Uh, I don't know any team in the NBA who anybody can name the 14th or 15th player on the roster. Uh, so, you know, he'll get to practice. He'll get to get better. He'll get to improve. And he should be around his dad if he's going to, you know, have the best chance at succeeding. So that's how I look at it. All right. All right. I know you don't like the answer, but no, I don't know why you guys are painting me as this like, well, you're a James hitter. You hate it. You hate anybody with the last name of James. It's pretty obvious. Oh, I'm trying to think of someone named James that I can. I love Kevin James. King of Queens. Yes. Oh, King of Queens is great. So it's huge. Yeah, they're all great. 16 former men's college basketball players, including Kansas star Mario Chalmers and Sharon Collins, Yukon guard, Ryan Boatwright in Arizona guard, Jason Terry have sued the NCAA in multiple conferences for unauthorized use of their name, image and likeness in March madness highlights. I have this whole like paragraph I was going to read, but I'm not going to read that anymore. Basically, what they're saying is that they, the NCAA is using their shots or their whatever from the tournament to make a ton of money and make commercials and all that other stuff. On May 22nd, the NCAA's board of governors voted to agree to a settlement term and as part of their agreement, which is yet to be approved by federal judge, the NCAA is going to provide more than $2.7 billion to former athletes over the next decade for back damages. Long story short, Chris, do these guys have a case in your mind? It seems like they have a case based on the new rules, but I also think that you could be going down the proverbial slippery slope here, how long before an athlete to use ESPN for using their likeness in the highlights that night so that they can make money putting Sports Center together. I mean, Sports Center is nothing without the highlights of the actual players doing what they do. It's not a commercial to sell, I guess. I guess there's a difference, but I don't know, I mean, we've gotten this far, so maybe we'll get further. But in the way, the rules are right now, sounds like they at least have something that's worth listening to. Tony, do they have a case in your mind? There's who have a case again, the like, Jason Terry, all the people that are being used. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Dave Marcus. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I got some flims stuck in my throat. I think they do have a case because I'm not going to lie when I saw some of the commercials that I was looking at the old highlights they were throwing up there. I was thinking to myself, huh, I went number five. So I was at the dog park yesterday when Lucky was, you know, in better, better moods and better spirits. But the that's not the question. The topic of conversation was Jackson Merrill and Kyle Higashiyoka because that's what we do when we go to the dog park. We talk Padres, but you and the dog? No, no, me and the dog owners. Oh, yes. So obviously we were also talking about the mid season MVP to this point. And as someone did say Higashiyoka, someone did say Jackson Merrill, I didn't say either of those two, but Tony, who is your Padres mid season MVP? Uh, it's Jerkson pro far. I don't know that it's I don't know that it's neither of these guys even thought of him. I'm like, what? I think Jerkson is, I mean, he's having, there's a reason why he's the, you know, one of the top vote getters internationally and this is a guy who is not a perennial all star. So I would say it's a Jerkson pro far question that pro far is the guy, you know, the fact that he had 17 RBIs in April, 17 in May and 17 plus in June, you know, he's been consistent the whole time. It's not like he's just had one hot street. Yeah. He's been doing it all year. At the middle of every key development of this entire season, he's got two grand slams. He's five for five with the bases loaded, 17 RBIs, uh, and he's the spirit of this team. So I think he's the guy and, and honestly, if I'll do your respect to your friends, I think the second most valuable is Robert Suarez. So, uh, I think Merrill and Higashiyoka have been the hottest of late, but if you're looking at the whole first half, those are the two I would go with. Yeah. No, they're, they're, they're not my friends, Chris. They're my dog park, your dog park people associates, don't just own them as your friend. No kidding. They're probably listening right now going on, you just docked them off. You know who you are who said Kyle Higashiyoka, and I'm sorry that I slightly laugh when you said Kyle Higashiyoka because Kyle Higashiyoka is not even close to the MVP. If I'm going to say anyone else other than Robert Suarez or Jerkson pro far, it's got to be Matt Waldron. Right? I don't know, I'm not your friend. I wouldn't know. That's good. I'm glad we've kept that together. That's right. Number four. Anthony Rendon, who has a hamstring injury, said recently that he's, quote, definitely close to coming back and is still deciding whether to go out on a rehab assignment. Jeff Fletcher of the OC register reports, a rehab assignment wouldn't be the worst thing considering his missed two months of action with a high grade partial tear of his left hamstring. But Rendon did say he was open to the possibility of playing rehab games before coming off the 60-DIL, but the Angels can't force him to do so, and I'm not saying that he said that part. It's just part of the story. Either way, the veteran third baseman should be clear to playing games soon if he's able to sprint in consecutive days without an issue. Chris, does Anthony Rendon, does Anthony Rendon need a minor league rehab start? Anthony Rendon does. I don't know about Rendon. Rendon does. But Anthony Rendon is not. You know, I was just going to read, yeah, Rendon takes a lot of heat, especially from you on this show, because, you know, he's missed games, a hamstring, et cetera. Why don't you ever mention Alec Thomas of the Arizona Diamondbacks when I was a hamstring injury in the fourth game of this season, and is still not back yet for the Arizona Diamondbacks. They're hoping he's going to be back sometime this week. He has been, I think, the two or three rehab stints, and every time he re-injures it and he's back out again. The point is these hamstring things, even if it happens to a guy like Rendon, can be difficult to overcome. That's how I get this. Rendon. And this has been the year for injuries. I mean, you can put, I mean, Rendon's every year, I get it, but I mean, you got trout, you got a kunya. I mean, you got bets. You can say kunya. He's got a Hall of Fame, basically, of guys that are injured and out right now, and I probably left out a few. Tony, does Anthony Rendon need some rehab starts, or can you just go right back into the major leagues? I mean, listen, if you're going to hurt it, would you rather hurt it in my league than but a big leagues? I mean, that's what Alec Thomas is doing. He's going down there, rehabbing, hurting it down there. Yeah. He's going to get better, but it's just like, if I'm going to go out, I'd rather go out on this field than be playing a game that doesn't even count for anything, you know, other than testing it. So I listen, if I were him, I would. I go down there, make sure, you know, because then you can kind of test, you can kind of play with the gears a little bit, if you will, like, what can I get to and be okay? Do I need to drag this leg for like a day or two, you know, you kind of figure out, and that kind of, at least a little bit more controlled environment. So personally, I would, but I get it going down to the three A or whatever's closest usually isn't like the greatest thing ever. What is Anaheim's AAA team? They're in Salt Lake, I believe. I think they're in Salt Lake, so. That's far. You got it. It's not close. The Salt Lake bees, man, they really stretched hard for that nickname there. Leave the bees alone, and then the hockey club, isn't it? One thousand percent. Yeah. It actually has a name. All right. Number three. All right. Bronny James, the 55th pick of the 2024 NBA draft, plans to sign a multi-year guaranteed contract with the Lakers according to Sean Sharanya of the Athletic. With this contract, it does guarantee that once the season begins, James will be a solidified player on the roster alongside his father, LeBron James.

That was part of the ESPN article. Tony. I hope, I hope, I really hope that we cover LeBron on his show, Jr. as much as we're covering this angle that we are covering over the last since he got drafted. I just hope so. That's this one. Throw it out. Well, well, here, let me, I mean, okay, my question was going to be a blanket. What do you think about this, but this seems kind of like a weird deal. If other guys have to work for their contract, and he just, given, I'm not saying that he doesn't, I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve to be in the NBA. What are you saying, then, Scrae? I'm saying that he should be chosen like it might have been off because Tony, when you got drafted in the Major Leagues, you still had to go to AAA, you still had to work your way up through the minor league system. You didn't just get a spot on the roster. You had to do that too. Some, some could argue that I got my name in the hat, though, because of who my dad was. Maybe, but you still had to prove yourself. Some could make that argument. Well, NBA is still, it's not the same. It'll have a full on minor league system that you have to go through in order to get to big leagues. They have a minor league system that they sparingly use. So it's just not, it's not an apples and apples comparison. Okay. All right. Well, what do you think about Brony James? And yes, we will be covering. Uh, I don't, I, I, I hope that, uh, gosh, what is his name? Johnny J. Rettick. Oh, I hope that J. J. Rettick and the rest of the staff know what they're doing. Ultimately, because he, he's going to be, you know, he might be a guy that gets no minutes. There's no ticks, but he's still going to be an NBA roster. So I just want to see the kid develop and, and get better. I, uh, if they feel like he is the best of what I think is 15, the best 15, he's part of that fine, but I'll have a bigger issue. If I see him like getting minutes and he doesn't deserve a minute, like it, like he's getting out there and it's actually hurting the team. Okay. Uh, I have a problem with all right, Chris, what do you think about this?

It's pretty obvious. Oh, I'm trying to think of someone named James that I can. Number two, I love Kevin James. King of Queens. Yes. Oh, King of Queens is great. So is hit. Yeah. 16 former men's college basketball players, including Kansas star Mario Chalmers and Sharon Collins. icon guard, Ryan boat, right in Arizona guard, Jason Terry have sued the NCAA and multiple conferences for unauthorized use of their name, image and likeness in March madness highlights. I have this whole like paragraph I was going to read, but I'm not going to read that anymore. Basically, what they're saying is that they, the NCAA is using their shots or their whatever from the tournament to make a ton of money and make commercials and all that other stuff.

I got some flims stuck in my throat. I think they do have a case because I'm not going to lie when I saw some of the commercials that I was looking at the old highlights they were throwing up there. I was thinking to myself, huh, I wonder does Jason Terry, in particular, because I did see him on one of the highlights, wonder, I wonder, did I, did he get paid for that? And I wonder, does he know that they're using it? And so, you know, it's not that much of a surprise to now here that they got sued because they had them up there. I don't know if it was this year. I think it might have been last year. I can't remember. But I know that they've used those, and listen, the NCA is probably going to probably have to rid themselves of some of the kind of ways they've gone about this for a long time because they've really just been able to do what they wanted to do forever. And now, because the NIL stuff has opened up a whole new floodgate thing, they got to pay close attention to some of the stuff they're doing. Somebody pay Lamont Butler every time they use that game winning shot for the next 40 years. That's a great point. That's a great point. We have just a short time left, but I think I finally saw a driver so crazy, I actually couldn't believe it guys. Last week, I was driving up to five, if you can't tell, I didn't have another number one question. This is the first thing that came to mind, but there was a big old traffic jam, and the person wanted to get off the freeway, but guess what, guys, they were past the exits. You know what they did? They took a right and they went up the vegetation slope to get onto the exit. I, for one second, picked up my phone to call the police. Would you guys have ever considered, have you guys ever considered about calling the police on a driver? Chris? No, I have. I have. Oh, you have? Oh, yeah. Was it like a drunk driver or something? I definitely thought about it. Yes. Okay. Yes. But again, you don't know. Think. And so that's the thing that stopped me from doing it. It's like, man, this car don't look right. You have to pull up next to him. You're trying to see like, is he having an episode or something or like, is something happening? That's, but I didn't ultimately end up calling. Oh, yeah. I don't know. The worst I ever saw was a guy doing a wheelie on a motorcycle. Oh my gosh, Chris, and this motorcycle thing. I can't stand motorcycles. You know that. And especially people doing wheelies on the freeway. Oh, my busta wheelie the other day. Did you? Yeah, I don't mean it. I mean, this is incredible. I see. And what am I going to do? Call the police who are obviously nowhere around in the first place. I'm going to be like, there's a man who just drove up the vegetation slope on the freeway. By the time they get there, it's going to be too late to do anything anyway. Yeah. You're probably right. Sounds like wasted efforts. Scrabby tape. Do a better job of taking care of your dog. Wow. That's how we're going to end it. That is pay more attention to lucky instead of bad drivers. We're going to have some words in the break. It's kind of the end of the show. Anyway, that's if we're not going to have words in the break, because we don't have a break. Three fifty. Why don't you go after a lot of it like that? I took a second shot at you. Not lucky. I love to look at the dog. I just want to have good care. I'm concerned about it with the injuries. Are you kidding? Just go to my Twitter. I have Matt Scrabby. He's recovering. So, well, that's good. It was a terrifying morning. Yes, it was, and I shouldn't be poking fun at you. All right. You talked about the, before we wrap things up, Sam's pregame show is a moment or two away. You talked about the driver driving up the vegetation ramp. This was crazy. Trying to get off the freeway. I was serious about this. That's, you know, that's just ridiculous, but, you know, this whole notion of you people backing into your parking spaces, look, you already know we don't like that, but what's worse is 80% of the time you back in, you go, your driver's side door to my driver's side door across the line, and I can't get into my car. Yeah. And I'm so tired of that. That is. It happened to Scrabby last week. It happened to me the other day. Did you swear at this person? No, I didn't. They didn't make it out of their car. I was so worried that my car was going to get scratched or hit, that I somehow slinked my way between my car and their car, and before they opened the door and got in and backed out before they could hit my car, but this driver's door to driver's door thing, that's the whole problem with backing in, please stop it. And if you absolutely have to back in because I don't know what you need to make a really quick getaway at the end of your activity. Oh, that's what everybody says, Chris. I know. You're being chased by a murderer because that happens every day, all the time. Every day. Yeah. You're going to stadium golf to hit some golf balls. You're likely to run into Jason, Jason for his, he's going to chase you, Michael Myers is going to be there hitting some chips out of the sand and get upset with you. You know, other people, but why do they have to go drivers door to drivers door? I don't know. You can't get in the car. So that you're getting support on this one, I'm sure someone says, a lot of people are saying that they have reported drunk drivers before, which I like to hear because I have done that as well. You know what? You're actually doing a good serve. You are doing that. You're not being a narc or whatever they call it. No, you're not. And never mind even trying to protect a person who's apparently driving drunk. Oh, I don't care about them. You're protecting the other people who they might hit. I remember. So it is a, it is a good phone call to make. One of the phone calls I made was after a Aztec football game and Chris knows how late those get over. Sometimes you're driving home at like one, one 30 in the morning. I remember seeing a car crash into the median on the 805 going home and I called the police and they're like, don't worry, we've been having calls all the way up since Chula Vista about this driver. I'm like, Chula Vista work. Go get them. Come on. Yeah, pull them over. So you were talking about the parking and everything. So Sam comes in here in the break and he's throwing me out for some reason. Sam is outside the window doing his best umpire throwing out motion. Earlier he was doing the giddy. He was the gritty. A gritty. Sorry. Okay. So someone says gave these the Sam at Pekko Park after a post game one day. His name's Ryan and it is a parking ticket book to put on people's cars who park across the line. Or, or if you parked in your double parked, so you go and you put this on their, on their windshield and it says parking is at a premium, please be considerate of others and park between the lines. Thank you. It has a diagram. Yeah. So I'm going to go start putting these on cars. Yeah. And you know what they're going to do? The people are going to take them. They're going to tear them up and they're going to scratch your car with a key because people are so the people that are root enough to park over two lines in the first place are certainly root enough to not take, not laugh when you put a fake parking ticket on their car and ask them to not never going to know I put it there. Well, now they will. But of course they're going to know because they're over on your side of the car. This is great. I'm going to do this. So like, you know, I'm going to start taking pictures of when I do this. People just be considerate if it's at all possible, if it's not easy for a lot of you to do that. All right. Do we have to check the station identification? Get out of here, Sam. It's not your time. No, I want Sam. I mean, come on. He's the legend. Sam, whether it isn't a building that he can throw me out of the studio. He's got my full support. Yeah. I know he does. Where is he? Wait. Oh, there he is. Sammy sunglasses. There he is. Oh, Sam, the future is so bright. He's got to wear shades. Oh, that's just the way it is. So cool. Sam got 97-3. Well, you know, look, I mean, we just saw a stat pop up on MLB there and it said Nathan of Aldi was pitching against the Padres and has a 2.2 ERA at home and very bad 5.40 on the road. So I went out to tell Sam so he had that note for his pregame show. Predictably, Sam said, I already got that. He already got it, but then he wrote it down as he walked away. No, he had it. All right. Find out what else he has. His pregame show is coming up next for Tony Gwen Jr. for Strayby, Chrisello. We're back tomorrow at 2 o'clock. Get you ready for game two of the series. Hopefully wrap up a victorious game one pregame show on 97-3. The fan is next. I do it while making coffee. I do it in the car. I do it when the kids are asleep. What are they all doing?
