Welcome back to Gwen and Chris. 5 o'clock here, 3 o'clock there. Tony Gwen Jr., Chris Ello, Matt Scrabie. Hour number two. I've Gwen and Chris, would you for four hours, excuse me, with you for four hours today, as we had no round table to give you. So it's just, you get just no holes barred of Chris, myself, and Mr. Scrabie. I got to tell you that Chris, just real quick, that Charlie Hoffman interview just, I don't know, I'm excited. It was fun. I just liked having him on. It was a good interview. It was fun. Okay. No, that's good. I like it. Yeah. He's a great, great dude. It was great having him on. That's what you got for me right now, is all you got? Tony's coming in hot with a take here. Oh, yeah. Go for it. Sorry. No, I'm not. I was just going to tell you, I was just going to tell you, Chris, that a couple people have, you know, chimed in about playing. Oh, Tory Pines, Tory Pines, and they're just saying stuff like, keep it out of, keep it out of the rough, as long as you keep it fairway. Yeah. I honestly wish I had that control. I mean, if I could just, you know, keep it in the fairway, I would play golf like all the time, but it's because I consistently can't keep it in the fairway. That's why I don't play. It's not fun to be hitting out in the rough all the time. So that is your advice, Chris, keep it in the fairway. I keep it in the fairway, too. If I could keep it in the fairway and hit the center of the green, I wouldn't need to play bulky golf. Here's the thing. If I could do those two things, yeah, those are pretty tough for me. I couldn't help but think that as Charlie was telling, hey, man, just, you know, hit it in the middle of the green. Okay. Don't aim for the edges of the green because you're good enough to hit the edges of the green. Yeah. I'm pretty much aiming for anywhere on the dance floor. See, I think when they say, keep it in the fairway, they mean by any means possible. If you tee off the first and you hit a slice into the rough, then you need to tee off second hit a slice into the rough. Maybe you need to go to your three wood, try to keep it in the fairway a little bit. No, I get to do some adjustment. No, look, I understand that you want to go. Look, 200 yards straight is better than 250 yards sliced. I mean, I'm aware. Yes. I'm quite aware because you lose a ton of distance. But Tony was Tony was Tony's right, though. If I could keep it in the fairway and hit the center of the green, yeah, you know, I wouldn't have to worry about you played with me scrape. I mean, I'm inconsistent enough. We're keeping in the fairway is a good challenge. That's not easy. If I could if I could just if I could purposely hit a warm burner 50 yards straight, I would do that. I would do that. I can't I can't even do that on purpose. Like I can't do very much on purpose. There is once in a blue moon, I'll try to hit a shot. And I'll actually get somewhere in the vicinity of where I was trying. That is like a not just a great shot. That is an unbelievable shot for me. So it's a beautiful feeling too, isn't it? Right. It's 100% it's it's it's not enough to keep me coming out. So I'm gonna need that feeling a little bit more if I'm gonna give you five hours of my day. It is a long day, Tony. But we also know that you're just playing alongside Tony Gwen Jr. can change careers. It can just ask the great Scotty Chistler. That is true, my friend. He was just he was just a normal guy when he played with you three years ago. And now he's Scotty Schoeffler. So he was he was basically rookie of the year. Right. And then now he's just the best player on the tour. He's on the tour. You have to say now because live has so many good golfers that you can't say. He's the best player. He's the best player on the tour. Yeah, sure. I mean, the thing with Scotty Schoeffler, he wins one tournament. Now all of a sudden we talking about him like this. Come on now. Scotty Schoeffler was winning every other tournament. And I will say I will say it. Scotty Schoeffler is very good, but he's not competing against the best guys in the world now. He's competing against the best guys that are left in the PGA tour. So some of these tournaments that he's winning aren't with the best players in the world that they used to have. So I mean, he he is absolutely crushing golf this season. He's winning everything he enters. You want to know what's up and funny? I have a buddy that lives out here in Dallas. And clearly he's listening to the show because he just sent me a video of my shot of one of my golf shots. I don't know where he got this footage from, but it's of me shanking a ball somewhere on a different on a different hole, not even on the same hole. How does footage of that exist? I don't know. We can't find the footage of your home run. Yes, but we can find footage of you shanking a golf shot. Interesting. Yeah, how about that? Nonetheless, we have, you know, taken this segment long enough without doing what we're supposed to do. So let's go ahead and get to some daily gambit. Do you like money? I think about money. Do you like money without doing anything? Dack, 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 your game. Take it.

Yes, he doesn't actually eat it. Does he actually eat it? No, I can't see it. But in his ad, he says, "My dog loves it and I love it too." They say it's not dog food. It's just food. I've had the farmer's dog food before. I've ordered it for my dog before and it looks gross. I mean, for human consumption. Have you had a spoonful? I would not go that far. That was a trick question. You look like your face was about to say yes? No, I've done a lot of weird things before. I ate a dog bone back in the day, one of those milk bones or whatever. I guarantee Bryson all of a sudden earned a lot more fans because of that performance than Rory did. That's for sure. Yeah. Scrabby's been a Bryson hater for a long time. Thanks Chris. He's coming along. And a Rory lover too. And a Rory lover. Yeah, we're going to get a weird spot. We're going to flip-flop you here. As you should, Charlie Hoffman is with us. Charlie's got a couple of top 10s this year on tour and you know, I mean, again, I think that's remarkable. You know, you've been in the game for so long, Charlie. I mean, 47 years old is, you know, that's... I'm old. You're still young man as far as some of us are concerned. But to finish, in the game of professional sports, I'm old. I mean, not in the game of life. I'm not. There's no doubt in professional sports. And I mean, you have two top 10s and you talked about it. You just wanted to be healthy. You just wanted to feel good. Yeah. Where are we here as we hit the midway point of the sea? I mean, are you still holding up good? I'm holding up good. My team that I established through trainers, chiropractors, swing instructors, we're all kicking on all cylinders, everything. Everything is great. It's actually a... It's been good traveling. It's usually my hardest part. I think we figured something out with some new gadgets while I fly to keep sort of the blood flow going and everything going and it's really worked out as of late. So I feel healthy. I mean, just life in general. I mean, I was out on the water this morning on the jet ski with my daughter wakeboarding and no pain. Usually sitting down pain going over bumps is pain. Zero pain whatsoever. I feel great. Now, that could change tomorrow night because I've been through this before but right this second, everything is great. And I'm looking forward to going... I took this week off the sort of strategic we're hanging out with the family. As I say, you can't buy memories and you got to make them. So, it's been a time with the family during the summer here in San Diego that I'm trying to take... I'm trying to flake off competitively, but most importantly, make sure my kids remember me and have a great time during the summer when we can spend some time together. Yeah. Well, we really appreciate you taking some time out to hang out with us. Don't pull a muscle answering this last question, Charlie. But I am playing Torrey Pines for the first time ever on Friday and I'm... I got to be honest. I mean, I'm pretty freaked out about it. Freaked out! I am! I don't want to. It's a golf course. Yeah, well, but you've seen me on certain courses, things don't always go my way. I mean, I'm... You know, I think I'm good enough to play a little over bogey golf, but just give me anything I can take with me out to the course Friday, Charlie. I'll... It'll be forever appreciated. You know, Torrey, you're playing the south, I assume. Yes, we are. Yeah, we are. The south golf course is a use of a caliber golf course. Now, the roughs, I assume, not going to be up. I haven't been out there since January or February. So, what do you want to do, Torrey? It's actually not that demanding the golf course off the tee, I would say. I mean, it's a long golf course. So if you play the correct tee, so you don't need to play, all the way back and make a play, whatever, 7,500 yards, whatever it is. Just go out and play the correct tee. But most importantly, the greens are structured very hard to almost repel balls and like those back little shelves. Hit the center of the green. Don't worry about where that pin is and try to make a putt from the center of the green because getting up and down around those greens is sometimes challenging. So I wouldn't try to challenge those pins too much and just try to hit the center of the greens and hopefully make a couple long putts for birdie. Ah, man, I'm so... I made a long one today and I think that used it up for the week. Can you explain Bogey golf now that you have a professional golfer? Hold on, you made a long cut. You made a long cut. You used it for the week or the year. Maybe the year. This one was long enough to baby. I used it for the year. I think you're right, Charlie. Yeah, Matt gets mad at me because I in my head, I play Bogey golf. So I add a stroke to every hole. And if I get a Bogey, then I call it a par in my head. I say that's not a thing. Matt gets mad at me for doing that, but I don't know. That's how I make my way around the course. So I don't know what your thoughts on that are, but... Your thoughts are you know your handicap and that's what's great about the game of golf. If you keep a valid handicap, I could go give you an extra amount of shots and we could have a great competition. That's what's great about it. If you're relevant, what par is for someone, I would say average golfers. But if you actually keep score, you can have a great round or a great competition with anybody, no matter what their hand. I mean, I like the game with some guys on the golf course. And I've had some of my best matches against a 17, a 14 handicap because guess what? They're getting a shot on every single hole. And I've got to play my butt off. They make a part of a birdie. They make a birdie, it's an eagle. So I really enjoy those, sometimes those competitions amongst friends that are getting a ton of strokes who make me sort of... I mean, every shot means something because if you make a par, I've got to make a birdie. So your thought process is fine, but I would challenge you to maybe try to make some par for birdies, not just bogeys for par. Yes. One of these days. Challenge! One of these days. Maybe not Friday, but maybe the next time after that. Charlie, thanks so much for joining us. Have a great happy 4th of July and you're welcome anytime. So you want to check in, just give us a call. We'd love to have you on and good luck. Enjoy the week with your family. Thanks, fellow. Enjoy the fourth also and we'll talk soon. There he goes. All right, thanks. Charlie Hoffman right there. Our PGA tour guy talking some golf and some pointed comments, but fair about Rory McIlroy. I like that. I love having Charlie on. I love having Charlie on because even though he may not be comfortable answering questions, he always answers him. He does, and what he said was a good answer too. What he said about Rory was spot on, I mean. Yeah, now it's up to you to tweet that out so he gets in the maximum amount of trouble. No, he said he was trying not to. He was going to answer in a way that wouldn't create viral sensation. That's what he said. Charlie Hoffman trashes Rory McIlroy on the radio show. You could do that. You won't do that, but you could. Are you going to adjust your bogey golf now? No, he's just said. He's challenging me to be better, which is what I don't challenge myself to be better, but in the meantime, you know, it sounds better to be plus two rather than plus twenty two. I'm going to, I'm going to tech. I feel like we're at this point now where I could text him and ask him if we could play golf in the off season. That's three together. So and Charlie, of course, three are you. You're learning him. Me, you, Tony, Charlie. God, that's here. Here we go. Daily Game of next. Next up, Milwaukee is at Colorado. That's the only other game tonight in the big leagues. Rob Zazinsky, or says my I can't hear it. This is this is a real like by a vowel name Z-A-S T-R-Y-Z-N-Y. There's only one vowel in that name. Rob Zazris. I can't even do it. I'm not even going to try. No, don't try. He's pitching from Milwaukee, Austin Gomber for the Rockies. Over under eleven and a half runs at Coors Field. Tony, I'm going to say Zazh me. You're going to try Zazh me? Okay. All right. I'll let you try that. Zazh me. Zazh me. Yeah. Keep trying. There's an R in there. There's a couple of Y's, two Z's and N. I would say, I would say the Z. I would say the Z is silent. There's no way they should be active. I think you should call Jesse in his hotel room during the break and this would be actually a great challenge for Jesse. I don't, you know, I don't want to explode my, I don't want to explode my man's brain. He's already got enough Ranger stuff that's happening. Go over. But I throw this grenade at him. That might mess him up. You know what, he'd probably just look back and go, it's Astrid. Why? How do you know that? All right. We got to hurry. Zazh me. All right. Over under Tony. What'd you say? I didn't hear. Did you say? Over under for what? 11 and a half runs. For the brewers and the rocks. Over. Over. Over. Scrappy. Over. I'll say under the Rockies are still that bad. They'll lose 9 to 2. Won't go over. All right. There's our daily gambit for today. When we come back, I think it's Tony's turn to take us out. Yeah. When we come back, we'll try to talk some NBA, but there won't be that much time. We're going to Chris on the other side of some trap. 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?

Couple of big stories in the NBA today, including one that just came down recently. We welcome you back to Gwen and Chris Cresello, Tony Gwen Jr. in Dallas, which is where Clay Thompson is going. Clay Thompson. Remember him, Skraid? You're warriors. Part of the big three with splash bros. Yeah, it was a splash brother. He is now a, um, I almost said brother. No, I said brother. I made a point to get the her in because I didn't think I was, I didn't think I was cool enough to say splash brother. Hey, you should just went ahead with it. You wanted to splash brother. That's what Chris really wanted to say. That's him. That one hurt. That hurt my heart. I'm not going to lie. I thought Mr, uh, Mr. James was willing to sacrifice some loot. Yeah, it sounded like he really wanted him to come to the Lakers. Yeah, it sounds like, uh, they, there was a trade that that Lakers offered, warriors, warriors, and I'm not interested. And so, you know, Clay gets a new start. You know, I think this was kind of inevitable. What I just read was that if he had gone back to words, he would have been backing up the, uh, the young shooting guard that they have, that, that backed him up last year. So I'm sure none of that was enticing. He gets, uh, to go to a place where he kind of seemingly fits really well. You got two ball handlers that, I mean, his should make his life pretty easy in terms of doing what he does best, which is shoot the rock. I just, you know, it to me, it seemed like it was a match made and having come on back home where you belonged in the first place. Yes, his dad could have broadcast his games. Dad could have broadcasted his games. You could have been a part of the, the exclusive dad's broadcasting son's club with me, of course, right? And he didn't, uh, he didn't take that. You know, and so it's a little disappointing. I don't know where to be as a Laker fan right now. I'm quite like, just, I don't know. I don't know where to be. We're, we're, we're in the middle of a free agency. You seemingly need to upgrade somewhere. You got a D'Angelo Russell that it sounds like you're trying to trade that popped it back into his deal. You don't even necessarily technically have LeBron James yet. You have a son? He still wait. He still, yeah, I know we have a son. We're that baby. He's trying to stir something up. That's all. He is. Of course he is. I just think it's hilarious that the Lakers draft Bronnie, when no one thought he would be drafted and then LeBron opts out of his contract with the Lakers. I know he thinks he's going to come back. I know. I know. It's not going anywhere. Clay Thompson, you just want there to be some TMZ element of it. Yes, he did. Clay Thompson, by the way, still holds one of sports's great records as far as I'm concerned. 14 threes in one game against the Bulls in October of 2018. Is that why you remember it so well? I do. It was painful. And I do recall, if I'm not mistake, I think the Warriors had 92 points at halftime that game. Yeah, I do regardless on past. Almost for a two hundo against the the Bulls. But yeah, Clay Thompson's a maverick. The other big news is that Jason Tatum is rich beyond his wildest imaginations. Wow, he's rich. Yeah, I think he already was really rich, really rich. Five years, 314 million dollar extension. That is 63 million. What is it? 63 million a year? 62.8. Oh my goodness gracious. And the Celtics also extended Derek White. Is that the guy from Colorado? Yeah, 126 million dollars. He went to legends high school in Denver, which is where my niece goes. So they're big fans of his there, of course. And so the Celtics extend, let's see, 440 million dollars worth of money today. Is it any wonder then that the team is up for sale. Poor people don't have any money left, I guess. So they've just put the team over sale, or, or which is probably more likely, they found out they could sell it for a lot more than they bought it for cash, which is usually how why they sell unless unless there's some like divorce or something coming up where the assets are going to have to be divided up. They only sell when they're about to make. Oh, they're gonna make so much money. It's not even funny. Paul George, by the way, 76ers, four years, 212 million dollars. Did I see a tweet of him working out at the Jam Center here in San Diego? I'm sure it was Paul George. Tell George to read it out. Let me see. Somebody tweeted it out. I thought it was Paul George. Well, listen, first of all, anything that weakens the Clippers, I'm all for B. I think this is a good fit. And, you know, I'm all for competitive basketball. This gives a team, you know, a really formidable opponent now for the Celtics in the East because they were formidable when Embiid was healthy. Now you get these three maxi Paul George and Embiid. I think it only sweetens the pot. I mean, that's not forget the Bucks will probably be a lot better than they were this year, year two of Lillard and answer to Copo and what's the middleton? Our middle is a middleman? Yeah, middleton. Middleton? Yeah. Yes. I think the East is going to be fun to watch. They got three good solid teams now. And here come the Bulls too. I read somewhere that Demar DeRozan is like had it now because they traded Caruso. I think I doesn't want to go back there. So we'll see. I believe that I believe that he is on the list of players that LeBron's willing to take a pay cut to bring on. I think I would still take him, Tony. He's still got something that guy. Yeah, no, I'm with you. I think I would love to have Demar on. I really enjoyed watching him even though the team hasn't been fun to watch the last couple of years when he he gets it going with that mid range. Forget it. Forget it. Chris Paul's the other big name. He signed in San Antonio. I love this move. Okay. It shouldn't hurt. I love this move. I went by Yama to have Chris Paul there. First of all, for Chris Paul at his age to go to a team that is likely not, well, at least going in, we expect them not to be very good. Right. I think says a lot about him. He does this often. I mean, it's not usually by choice. This is by choice, but he got traded to OKC, turn them into a legitimate ball club everywhere. He goes. The teams win. Now they may not win the whole thing, but they get better. And so I think it's a it's a great move. If if I'm when Ben Yama, I'm like, yo, this is you. I couldn't have asked for a better point guard to actually pass me the ball. There's so many clips. And I don't know how true this is of people making clips of seemingly the Spurs players icing him out or not trying to pass him the ball. I don't know how true that is because, you know, social media can make anything look like it's a legitimate cause. But I think this is a great fit for him to have that that type of point guard. Who's my man? The referee came out and said Chris Paul was like the biggest headache in the national basketball association. Did you see that one? No, I did not a month ago. No. Oh, yeah, a month ago. I mean, well, I mean, go through the road. We talked about it is why I'm bringing it up silly silly. Is it the one that that they have beef? I don't think so. It was it wasn't Scott. No, no, it wasn't him. It was some other guy that's, you know, not in the league, but he said Chris Paul. Anyway, he he confirmed what I think because that Chris Paul's not a great guy, but that's why I've remembered it because it fit my narrative. That's all. All right. We're going to just like the Twitter folks out there. Yes, right. That's it. Yeah, you got to get it taken when you can get them. Smoke them when you got them, Tony. Smoke them when you got it. It's going to break. I'm going in Chris. 3 42 Tony Gwen Jr. Chris Elomat Scrabie. Let's get right to it because we have not been very good on being on the clock and all the way here. That it's not as big a deal anymore. We certainly want to hold the line there. So yes, we want to be clock integrity. What makes you say that Tony, that's not just hear that from Scrabie, maybe that I don't know. I didn't hear it to people. All of a sudden, I didn't hear it. I should be heard it from you for me. I've never been following the bus. I've never followed the clock from the beginning. So, that is for me. That is true. Chris has not been following the clock. No time at all. You know, we want to keep clock integrity. That's what, you know, keeps a good show rolling. So, Scrabie, you got a little fair foul for us. Let's get to it. All right, this is not open worthy yet. We still need to make sure that we like this segment. But here we go with fair or foul. First, baseball coverage on 97 through the fan is presented by T mobile switch to T mobile. And you can get tons of benefits and still save on every plan versus AT&T and Verizon. Use their savings calculator to find out how at T mobile dot com slash switch. Now, last week, we did this. And I look for some some harsher tweets this week. But basically, I'm going to read these tweets. And I did have to put them into readable format because some of these are not very easy to read. And you guys tell me if it's fair or foul. So let's go with the first one. And it's about Fernando Touchy's Jr. And here's how it goes. It's no coincidence to me that Fernando Touchy's Jr. goes out of the lineup and the Padres goes six and two cents. Fernando was only as good as the PEDs took him and it speaks volumes. This offense decides to wake up when he was removed from it. No one will want to hear this but trade him cut bait on a bad contract and never look back. Fair foul, Chris. This is a this is not even close to the foul line. This is like sprayed off up into the upper deck. Oh, okay. So it's like, yes, okay, I see what you're saying. It's a really bad foul. Well, I mean, you can always make a case. I guess that somebody's overpaid and it's a 10. What is it? It's a 10 year contract. So maybe eventually. But I mean, this is the cost of doing business for one of the, you know, most exciting players in baseball. This is stupid tweet. Tony Fair foul. It's foul. It's a it's a crummy tweet. But, you know, this is kind of the gate that gets opened once you've you've been involved with something like this. People can just say ridiculous things and have a leg to stand on at least in terms of that being a thought in people's heads. Yeah, it's clearly clearly the insertion of Bryce Johnson as good as if a guest as he was Friday in replace of Fernando has spurred the Padres to this hot streak. Yeah, I mean, it's just a dumb, dumb tweet on his face. The chatter, the the commenters and on YouTube, you can watch us by the way, YouTube just go to night is go to YouTube and search 97 through the fan, but they I didn't see Tony's reaction. Did you apparently like faint or something? Tony just died over there on this one. But I knew you guys were not going to like, see, I have problems finding an actual fair tweet, but we'll keep going and see if we'll over find one. All right, next tweet. Don't let those Padres shills tell you this team is good. Their best pitcher right now is Matt Waldron. You and Joe Joe stole the bag by getting injured immediately after they got paid. This team is going to be lucky to hang around until the end of August. If you tell me this is a playoff team, I'll laugh in your face, Tony. Read it to me again. Sorry. Don't don't let those Padres shills tell you this team is good. Their best pitcher right now is Matt Waldron. You and Joe stole the bag by getting injured immediately after they got paid. This team is going to be lucky to hang around until the end of August. If you tell me this team is a playoff team, I'll laugh in your face. Where are the Padres currently in the playoff standings? I believe they're a wildcard team. No, so they're a playoff team. Yeah, another dumb, another dumb one. Yes, Matt Waldron is their best pitcher on in the rotation right now and yet they have won nine of their last 11 despite that. Also, their best player right now is a rookie. So what is that? Yeah. Yeah. It's just, you know, just means, just means they have a lot of guys contributing this year. Let's be honest. This is what this is what a team is supposed to look like. You know, a bunch of guys kind of chipping in and having some success. You know, Camp Asal gets off to a good year. He good, good start. He cools off. The guy's yoga steps up and now he's swinging the bat well. I mean, go figure. He has this, you know, guys all over the line of just doing different things. I don't know. Yeah. I'm sorry. My man feels like he needs to spit in somebody's face, but I I'm pretty sure if he spit in the wrong person's face, it could be lights out. Chris Fairfell. There's a drive down the left field foul line. Way foul. Oh, okay. That's it. Did he fear that long? Yeah. I was like, oh, is that a home run? Yeah. I mean, well, it could be right. I mean, we don't know. There's 74 games left. They're not in the playoffs yet, but you know, I'm pretty happy with what's happened here. And I don't know that we've changed our tune in the last 12 days just because they've won nine out of 11 because I think I've always felt like this team could be better. I was more frustrated than I am now, but I felt like this team was, you know, their star players still haven't played great. So there's a lot of room for upside. I think that's a, you know, this this tweet is trying to point out that there's room for downside with some of the other guys, but I guess it just depends on how you want to look at it. It's a good point. Chris brings up. We definitely don't know. And I don't think any of us have changed or two, right? We've said this team played 500. And when the big guys got going, it could change. That has happened. However, what is a, what is a fact is that they've had, they haven't had Joe and you longer than they've had him, had them during the course of this season at this point. And they still are where they are despite not having their number one, their number two pitchers going. They haven't, they've missed Manny at parts. They've not had Manny at, you know, playing his best during parts. Same with Tati, same with Bogey. We missed it, they've missed him for, well, I don't know, he's been out of line for which was Atlanta, yes, and so when he got hurt. So I mean, they're doing all of this despite not having those guys, I would say that that is a positive, not a negative. All right, someone just said, we should change the name of the segment to Scrabby Reads Dumb tweets. So maybe that's, maybe that's our next segment here, or you could just call it foul. No, that's true. All right, but any fair yet. Next one is about Manny Machado. Manny Machado is the master of making mediocre to bad stats look amazing because he has a good game every once in a while. Two home runs today means he's going to hit into 10 double plays and strike out on a slider low and away five more times before he hits another home run. Fair foul, Tony. I think there's another foul. Are we immediately felt like felt right back or is it like down the line? Give it to me again. It was the master of making mediocre to bad stats look amazing because he has a good game every once in a while. Two home runs today means he's going to hit into 10 double plays and strike out on a low slider away five more times before he hits another home run. Tim might be excessive. I think all I think, you know, I don't know if this person only watches like 10 games a year, but over the course of 162 games, if you end up hitting 270 and you have 25 to 30 homers and you have 90 to 100 RBIs, you're having a lot more success than everybody else in the league. And so I say that to say that is pretty much what Manny gives you and you can't acquire those numbers over a course of time unless you are pretty good at what you do. The Padres weren't a team of very good team last year. So of course, his numbers are going to come in a state of, you know, nothingness, if you will. But if he puts up those same numbers on a team that goes to playoffs, guess what? He's having that impact. So I don't know. This is, you know, I've done to see this a little bit more than I'd like to see. I feel like on social media, as it pertains to Manny and this idea that he doesn't perform well when it matters, I don't think that's true. I think maybe last year you might be able to say he he underperformed, but couldn't say that the year before you couldn't say that in 20 when he was what third in MVP or whatever it was, like, I just think it's just a short term short term memory when you when you go that route. Dan wants to know is Brian Kenny sending these tweets and no, Dan, he's not. Sure. Yes, I'm positive. You know what? I should just go to his Twitter and just we just go through that. Well, I was thinking about this whole notion that Manny swings and misses and strikes out all the time in between his, you know, hits. He struck out 69 times this year. Sounds like a lot until you realize that Ellie, then Aaron judge has struck out 93 times. Yeah. Yeah. And I think we consider Aaron judge right now the best hitter in baseball without questions. So, you know, these guys do swing and missing sliders down and away. You know, they have good pitch will get them, but I so I that's why this is foul. A bridge version of Fairfell. This last one, I thought, was slightly funny. I don't care that answer your questions, Gravy. It was it started off in the air, like down the line as it got past third, and then it was pretty powerful by the way, I don't care that Louisa rise can slap some singles together because he might be worse defensively at first base than Eric Cosmer. Oh, he dropped. Oh my God. Here we go with this notion. He didn't catch a ground. He didn't catch a throw across the diamond, which is true. He should have caught that, but he's picked up far more rows that he's dropped, and especially just fielding the ball at first base. So I guess that's a that's I would say that's fair. Air Cosmer is a better defensive player than Louisa Ross. All right. That might be fair. Okay. Here we go. Buy a lot. All right. Christmas the fans next. All right. This is not open worthy yet. We still need to make sure that we like this segment, but here we go with fair or foul first baseball coverage on 97 through the fan is presented by T mobile switch to T mobile and you can get tons of benefits and still save on every plan versus AT&T and Verizon use their savings calculator to find out how at T mobile dot com slash switch. Now last week we did this and I look for some some harsher tweets this week, but basically I'm going to read these tweets and I did have to put them into readable format because some of these are not very easy to read and you guys tell me if it's fair or foul.

If you tell me this is a playoff team, I'll laugh in your face, Tony. Greet it to me again. Sorry, I got distracted. Don't let those Padres chills tell you this team is good. Their best picture right now is Matt Waldron. You and Joe stole the bag by getting injured immediately after they got paid. This team is going to be lucky to hang around until the end of August. If you tell me this team is a playoff team, I'll laugh in your face. Uh, where are the Padres currently in the playoff standings? I believe they're a wildcard team. No, so they're a playoff team. Yeah, another dumb, another dumb one. Um, yes, Matt Waldron is their best picture on in the rotation right now. And yet they have one nine of their last eleven despite that.

Not a bit any fair yet. Next one is about Manny Machado. Manny Machado is the master of making mediocre to bad stats look amazing because he has a good game every once in a while. Two home runs today means he's going to hit into ten double plays and strike out on a slider low and away five more times before he hits another home run. Very foul Tony. I think that's another foul. Are we, is it immediately foul? Like foul right back or is it like down the line? Give it to me again. Manny Machado is the master of making mediocre to bad stats look amazing because he has a good game every once in a while.
