Heading into the happy hour and oh, what a happy day it has been. Have you been with us all day? Ah, then you know how happy things have been inside the Gwen and Chris program today. 503 is the time. Dr. Sello, Tony Gwen, Jr. at Petco Park, he has escaped matters for the rest of the afternoon. He and Jesse Agler getting ready for the broadcast of tonight's game between the Padres and the nationals. If you're wondering what I'm referring to, that's why we have the Odyssey app. That's why we have 97 through the fan SD dot com. If there's any part of the show you missed, do you think you want to hear it? Go back and find it and you can hear it all. You can find out what got scraping into deep trouble earlier in the show and how I was able to, you waited me into the water. How I was, how I was able to protect him and extract him from danger. You didn't do any of any of the sorts. I did not do any of the sort is right. 504 is the time Padres and nationals, Sam Levitt's pregame show coming up at the bottom of the sour. I got a couple of things to get into before we get back to baseball, those scrape. You pick. You're with basketball, baseball, basketball, football or hockey, scrape your choice. You know, listeners choice here. Um, I mean, I'm going to do all three of them. So it just doesn't really, you're just picking you up with baseball. I didn't baseball wasn't a choice. Yeah, I think you just said baseball. I messed up. It's basketball, hockey or football? No, let's go football. You want to go football first? We're watching football here in studio. Let's go football. Do you know who, and this is the football, do you know who Isaiah Buggs is? Yes. You do. Yes. All right. I bet you most people don't know who this guy is. Former. Yeah. Yeah. Isaiah Buggs has been released by the Kansas City Chiefs for being arrested like a whole bunch of times in Alabama this off season. In May, he was charged with two misdemeanor counts of second degree animal cruelty. That's enough to get you in a whole lot of trouble. A couple of dogs under his care, a pit bull and another were found to be neglected, et cetera. Others that neglect their dogs ended up becoming the Raiders head coach, but that's another story for another day. All right. That's great. So glad you went there. Uh, he did the same thing this guy did almost and he got a slap on the rest and he's a head coach now. All right. Isaiah Buggs did that. He then was booked on a domestic violence and burglary charge. That's something I don't believe the Raiders coach was charged with. No, that's true. Anyway, the chief said enough is enough and they have released him. It's amazing how easy it is to release somebody on merit when they suck. When they're not good. Yeah. Yeah. When their name isn't when their name isn't Rashi Rice. I mean, I don't understand how the chiefs get away with this crap. I really don't. I mean, nobody has been in more trouble this off season than Rashi Rice. I would say the chiefs in general. I'm sorry. I know that one of our great listeners, Maria is on the chat right now. She's a chief fan. They have not had the cleanest off season. No, but I mean, Rashi Rice, please, the driving incident, the aggravated assault incident, the fight in a nightclub incident, I mean, it's just on and on with Rashi Rice. And yet he remains somebody that Andy Reed continues to stick up for. And every time they ask him about it, he goes, ah, you know, he's a good guy. We're going to work with him. And we're going to look into the it's an ongoing investigation. But as soon as this guy Isaiah bugs, glances in the wrong direction at somebody off you go. I just thought it was very hypocritical. The good point he said, I mean, they release cream hunt for a more serious thing than rice got in trouble for. I, I believe that they were under fire to do that. Yes. I mean, if they were to kept, was it Kareem Hunt? Yes. Kareem Hunt. Yeah. Kareem Hunt, the rule is if you're, if you're beyond the, the purview of law, you just go play with the Cleveland Browns. So that's kind of the new rule. All right. So there's, there's your, let the Browns fans deal with you. All right. You want basketball or hockey? Let's go basketball. Okay. We're going to be talking tomorrow is the NBA draft dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, that's my name. Did anybody even know that the NBA draft is tomorrow? I did not really know either until I looked up at the TV. Exactly. Had to be reminded of it. There'll be live coverage at five o'clock on television. We'll try to keep you up to date with what's going on on our radio shows tomorrow. Scrappy has won tomorrow night after our show. But the reason nobody's talking about the NBA draft is because the number one pick according to ESPN and people who do this kind of thing is a guy whose name I can't even come close to pronouncing. He's from France. He's 19 years old and the Hawks are supposed to take him. Okay. Resocker. I believe it was his last name. Sorry. I'm just taking a wild stab. I have no, no clue. The next guy is from Perth, Australia, Washington, which is supposed to take him with the number two pick. His last name is SAR, S-A-R-R third pick you might have heard of Reed Shepherd, Young Guard from Kentucky and on down the line it goes. But anyway, the first couple of picks are going to be foreign players, at least according to this particular draft simulation. A bunch of guys from the G League, the point is basketball's lost quite a bit with all of these other ways for guys to get ready to go into the NBA. It's probably better for them and their talent, but it doesn't give us the same interest who follow college basketball. We know who these college basketball players are, but they're hardly being drafted at all. For example, Zach Edie, who you all know, the big kid from Purdue two-time player of the year, isn't projected to go until 17th in the first round. That team they project them to, by the way, is the L.A. Lakers. We'll see if that is how that turns out. Oh, I would love for him to be on the Lakers. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see what Tony's response to that would be. The only other name that anybody seems to really care about being drafted one way or another is a guy by the last name of James, first name, Bronnie, and whether or not he'll be drafted at all. We'll see. I'm looking at this particular mock draft here. Keyshot Johnson's on here, second round to Golden State, 50 second pick overall, I hope for Keyshot's case he gets that, and they do have Bronnie James. One round pick going to the Lakers. Well, to me, those will be the intriguing stories. The NBA, though, is trying to become the NFL. They're going to fall far short, but they're trying. Tomorrow is the first round. The second round won't be until Thursday. They're doing a two-day TV event. Well, if the NFL does it, Chris. Well, the NFL does what three days. Yeah. So anyway, I'll throw a little luck in for Keyshot Johnson. I also love to see our guy from San Diego State taken in the draft. I mean, he's only my all-time favorite player in the history of basketball. Why are we forgetting? Oh, my God. Have you not helped me? Please. Somebody, please write down our Aztec power forwards, all Americans' names. Why can't I remember? No! Oh, my God. I'm totally having a moment. Chris is someone who is going to take this home with him. I'm not going to sleep well now. I thought as soon as I threw his name out there, I would just come to me. Oh, Jane LeDee. Thank you. There we go. There we go. Jane LeDee. That was sad. That was not good on our part. Jane, if you're out there, man, just understand that I'm old and senile, but there's no excuse for that one. No excuse for that one. All right. Oh, and Chet says if we can't remember him, that's probably not a good sign that he gets drafted with him. No, he's probably not going to get drafted, but he'll get an opportunity and I'm been a bet on Jane LeDee to make it. All right, hockey. This is the same thing I pretty much say every year at this time of year. There's just absolutely no better tradition in sports than the Stanley Cup coming out on the ice. The players, one at a time, getting to lift it over their head, passing it around. Each member of the team getting their moment with the cup and Laurie and I were watching this last night after the game was over in Florida had won. It doesn't really matter to us who wins the Stanley Cup. It's the one tradition slash celebration that my wife and I watch together every sports year and we enjoy it every single time. And I will say this, the handshake line that the Stanley Cup playoff teams do is still sports Every player on both teams lines up. They all shake hands going through the line one at a time, hugging and congratulating. You know, the NBA's had trouble with this certain college basketball. Yeah. Oh yeah. There's so many fights. There's so many fights. Come on, man. Can't we just get it together? Come on. Anyway, the Stanley Cup, the greatest tradition, I was going to ask you, other than maybe the last year's champ putting the green jacket on this year's champion, give me another tradition that even holds a candle to the Stanley Cup coming out on the ice and everybody holding it up. Yeah. I honestly was trying to think last night, I couldn't come up with any. I must be forgetting something like baseball. Is there anything after the World Series? They, of course, you get drunk Rob Manfred delivering the MVP trophy. Okay. So that's a good tradition. All right. What do you get? What do you get in football? I guess they do the thing where they get on the stage and they all get to raise it up and they all get to talk about not close. Just not close. It's the same thing. It's not close to the Stanley Cup just doesn't care. It doesn't hold a candle to it. I appreciate about the Stanley Cup is that, sorry, Nick just walked by the window and scared me. I was like, who is that? I think it's really fun when players take it out and about. I saw a video of a Florida Panther just walking down the street and with the cup and everybody's like, who is this guy? And he just has it over his head on some random street. I love it. So that's the other part of the tradition that we don't see, which is certainly amazing and fun is that every player who wins the Stanley Cup gets one day with the cup in their hometown. Do you know how they choose the order of how that happens? Yeah. I think that's somewhat geographical. I think each player decides where they want their day with the cup to be. And then they, you know, I don't think they fly to you, the slop or, you know, the slop key and then back to Canada and then over to Greece and then, you know, so they probably, but every player gets a day with the cup, man, that's, that's, that's pretty awesome. Does, does Mr, um, cupkeeper cupkeeper, I think he goes everywhere. He does. I think that's life. That is awesome. Mr. Blond here cupkeeper. If I was able to just travel the world with the Stanley Cup, that would be cool. My wife said, is he married? I go, I don't know. At least are you interested? Yeah. He's married to the cup, but anyway, I just, I, I, you know, hockey, to me, for one night at least, it's the greatest theater in sports. And it doesn't matter who wins the Stanley Cup. I mean, I don't care less about the Florida Panthers, but it, you know, it's always fun. There's always great stories. Some kid from a little hometown is, you know, never been on an airplane and he's getting this Stanley Cup and then some other guy who's been in the league for 30 years. And you can see the coach of the Panthers last night, Paul Maurice, cause he had been in the league coaching for like 25 years. He's never won the cup. And when he got it in his hands, I mean, it was just a choke up type moment. It was a heartfelt moment because you could just tell how much it meant to him. Anyway, I love the NHL celebration at the end of every year. That was nice. I like that. When we come back, we are currently celebrating the brilliance of a young outfielder by the name of Jackson Merrill. It could have been different. It could have been. We'll explain when we come back after a check of traffic. Tired of fine lines and wrinkles, Derma Clara has the solution.

Pottery baseballs coming up Sam Levin pregame show live from Petco Park, then it's 6 30 tonight. Jesse Tony, Padre baseball, the kid Adam major going against our former kid, Mackenzie Gore now at the Washington Nationals game two of a three game series. Got to say scrape. It's going to be hard for tonight to top last night in an excitement. Yeah. Right? Yeah. That's a four run bottom of the 10th basis loaded walk off profile, the whole thing. Jackson Merrill had a big hit in that inning. He certainly wants again. And we keep talking about how he is quickly moving up the ranks now, you know, finally getting some recognition. And I know we've kitted around a little bit about, well, let's just keep him quiet. So nobody knows who he is. I get that part of it, but at the same time he's our guy and we want everybody else to kind of know about it. And, you know, when the ESPN or whoever came out with these rankings about a month ago, top rookies in the national league, Jackson Merrill was even in the top 10. And I thought, no, that's not really, that's not right. He was hitting, you know, pretty close to 300 then, yes, but now that he sits seven home runs in June and he's walked off games and he's, you know, coming up with big hits night after night, people are starting to notice latest odds on rookie of the year in the national league. Imanaga, the Cubs is still number one, he's fading a little bit, plus a hundred skeens Pittsburgh plus one 50. He's looking good. And number three, Jackson Merrill. He's looking number three now. That's that's a huge jump for him. He was out of the top 10. Now he's in the top three, so he's moving up doesn't take, it's not that hard to realize that he's good. Yeah. He has another month like this. He's going to jump both those other guys. And I know schemes is getting a lot of notoriety, but schemes doesn't play every day. Jackson Merrill's doing it. Yes. So we're talking about Jackson Merrill, but anyway, Scrabie brought this out of those kind of interesting, you know, like if I'd have thought of it, give it kind of a five, but since Scrabie came up, I'm giving it like a nine. Okay. Well, it's Jackson Merrill's draft selection in what 2021 2021 and he was drafted to how high 27th so as Scrabie points out here, that means 26 other players were drafted ahead of Jackson Merrill, 26 other teams could have gotten him. Who did those teams take instead? I just saw kind of fun to look back on this three, four years later. Totally is number 25. I just looked at this and I thought that this person, this couldn't be true and it's not true. The A's drafted Max Muncie with the 25th pick of the 2021 draft different Max Muncie. How are you sure? I clicked on it. Yeah. He's positive because Max Muncie did start in the A's organization. Yeah. The Dodgers Max Muncie has been in the league. He won in 2020. So he would have to be on the team in 2021. So that's not the Max Muncie. No, no, it's, he's still, this guy is still in the rookie level league or high a, but anyway. All right. So let me go through. All right. So here are the picks ahead of Jackson. Well, number one was who by who, your guy by the pirates, Henry Davis. Oh, man, Henry Davis catcher, catcher out fielder and is not clicked at all. No, no, he has not not at all. He's been up and down. And when he's been up, he hasn't done anything. Yeah. Yeah. So I, I spent many of days watching him in the studio. I thought he was a sneaky pick for my fantasy team. Not so. Second overall. Okay. Number two, for the Texas Rangers, Jack Leiter. He just made his debut. Oh, yeah. I like your son. Yeah. He made his debut earlier this year. He gets the tigers, I believe. I don't think he had a good outing. All right. But he hasn't, he hasn't really scratched the surface. Yeah. And now some of these players may be going through their minor league systems. Okay. So I don't know every. Yes. We didn't do a research on this. Complete breakdown on this. The tigers. This is why they may be the tigers, Chris, because they drafted number three overall, a pitcher named Jackson Job. Okay. That's working out. Why? Nice. Now again, maybe Jackson Job is 15 and O at double A somewhere and I don't know that. You're true. As far as impact at the major league level, none so far here's one that is local to us. Okay. Number four. Boston Red Sox. Short stop. Yep. Yeah. March. Solo Meyer. Yeah. He's like high school. Yeah. Taking him, you know, while and again, I don't know how Marcelo's doing, but I think it's fair to say that Jackson Merrill is ahead of him on the pecking order at this point in time. Yes. I'm looking just to make sure that he, but anyway, well, we, like we said, we didn't do much. We didn't claim that we looked every single guy up there. We're just giving you some of the New York. You get it. Okay. Pick it up. All right. Okay. He's at least made us some noise. Yes. For the Orioles. Number six. Jordan Lawler. For the Diamondbacks. A short stop. Not much yet. Number seven. Frank Mazakado for the Royals. A pitcher who he works for our station. Frank Mazakado. Yes. No. He works on my car. Worked on my car Saturday down at the muffler show. Oh, here's another great name. Chris. Number eight. Benny Montgomery for the Rockies. Yeah. That away rocks. Number nine. Sam Bachman for the angels. So none of these guys yet, right? I mean, the only time that you've named so far that's even in the big leagues is Calzer. Yeah. We'll get, we'll get into some. Some are better. Kumar Rocker was number 10 by the Mets, but he did not sign apparently. That seems like a wasted draft pick right there. You pick some guys. Not even going to play for your team ever. I remember he threw a no hitter in college, but that doesn't mean anything now. Isn't he? He's throwing heat too all the time. Toast fast. 11th is Brady House for the Nationals. Short stop. 12th Mariners. Harry Ford. Listen to this. This is embarrassing Philadelphia Phillies Andrew painter. This is only three and a half years ago. I know. 14th Will Bednar giants. Keep going. Yeah. Giant one. We just saw him 15th with South Freelich for the Brewers. Okay. At least he's playing in the big leagues, but he's not as good as Jackson. Mero. No. Here's number 16. Khalil Watson for the Marlins. Keep going. Here's one, the big leagues. 17th is Matt McLean Cincinnati Reds. All right. Nice. He's hurt. He had at least a nice splash last year. There we go. 18th Michael McGreevey Cardinals pitcher. Sorry. Um, 19th Gunnar Hoggland Blue Jays pitcher 20th Trace Sweeney Yankee shortstop 21st Jordan wicks. I've heard that name, right? Isn't he the fireballer for the Giants now? No, that's, um, Hicks. Oh, that's Hicks Jordan wicks is a Cubs pitcher. Okay. I'm going to number 22 to the White Sox Gavin Williams, number 23 to the Indians or guardians now 24th Ryan Cusick the Braves, 25 Max Muncie is 26 chase petty twins. Then you got Jackson Merrill, then you got Carson Williams to the Rays and Maddox Bruns to the Dodgers. I mean, you know, just off the top of my head, there's a blowout victory for the Padres here. When it comes to the 2021 draft, oh my gosh, it's. I mean, the only, the only player I would even consider wanting that was taken ahead of Jackson Merrill that you named would be Matt and a claim. Yeah. And he's hurt right now. Yes, her. Yeah. Colton Cowser has done a few things for the Orioles this year. Now again, we could do the same list in a couple of years and maybe some of these guys have made the big leagues and started making an impact. So let's put that disclaimer in. Yes. And also as of right now, Jackson Merrill is miles ahead of everybody on that list. Oh my goodness. I just randomly typed in the 2019 MLB draft. Oh, I don't want to go. This is a good one, Chris. Oh, this is a better one. Oh, yeah. Adley Richmond, Bobby Whit Jr. number two, JJ Bleday, Riley C.J. Abrams, Nick Ladolo, Josh Young, Shay Langoliers, Alec Manoa, Corbin Carroll, Bryce and Stott, Brett Beatty. All right. Good. Yeah. There's a lot of good ones in the 2019. Well, for 2021, Jackson Merrill, you are the man. You are the man. Keep it going. Jackson. All right. Uh, what else we got? Anything last minute to get to? I think we're kind of out of stuff. We're out of gas. No, we're never out of gas. That's true. I could talk forever. Do you want to go back into? Oh, I got, I got a little quickie one here. Yeah. Okay. I mean, this is just kind of interesting. The guy who just took Texas A&M to the college world series for the first time, okay, and lost last night, Jim Schlossnagel is his name has left Texas A&M to be the new coach at Texas. Huh? Really? Really? Really loyalty bro. Does the game even over yet before he like said, I'm out of here? Wow. That is crazy. It's, I guess it's not in that world, but it just, there's no loyalty anywhere. Nothing. Nothing. Anywhere. That would, that would irk me if I was a player for Texas A&M like big time. Schlossnagel is, Schlossnagel started at UNLV TCU, Texas A&M got Texas A&M to the championship game and has gone before Tennessee is even done celebrating on the field. See, I get that Texas is a big time athletic school. I know it's the, but these are, this is so behind your decision. College baseball is not to the level of these other sports football bass, but do you get the feeling that maybe college sports might just like inhale itself? Yes. I did chase of the almighty dollar and, and then this you've got to win. You know, the guy at Texas who they replaced in eight years, he was let go because he only made the college world series three times, only made it three times. You better be hoping you're out of here. Schlossnagel. We're taking Schlossnagel Schlossnagel, a boy Schlossnagel, we'll see you later. Thanks for the effort at Texas A&M pal. I hope they didn't let him come home with the team. He's serious. From Omaha. Seriously. You know what I mean? I do. Making pay his own way back. Yeah. He can afford it. Yeah. We'll see you in the next three game. We're on after the game tomorrow. So day baseball tomorrow, then going in Chris afterwards. Enjoy the next two ball games for Tony, for Scrabby, Chris.
