And I get Thursday morning. Oh, it is a good Thursday morning everybody. Welcome into Ben and Woods Hang on hang on You want to do it? We got to do it. I guess so. All right Yeah That's more than just for last night. All right, Percy. That's for a a season series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers for your San Diego Padres First time since I was here, let's show them how it's done Almost when that song was new It's first time since I was a young man of 34 years old The last time the Padres took a season series from the Dodgers Polly how old were you then I was 14 years old 20 years old still a student at San Diego State University Yeah, second year. How about that last time of seven and three record against the LA Dodgers with just three games remaining This season that's called a clinching the season series last night and of course we will get into all of it But I have to tell you You know woods. He's still on vacation day three after today will be a halfway done With Woods's vacation time at least show wise. He'll be back next Wednesday from his Hawaiian trip Have not heard from him at all. Did you did he texted all yesterday? He was very he was very active yesterday It was very active on Tuesday the day left and obviously The incredible comeback win and we were kind of just normally texting back and forth like we always do yesterday He went kind of off the grid vacation mode silent, which is good. That's how it should be. He's on vacation We shouldn't be hearing from him that often. I hope that's a good sign and not a bad sign It really could go either way It could be because he's so now relaxed and into full vacation mode put the phone away for a while You know the the weather's great, you know, maybe he's got some time away from the kids I know his in-laws are there they can watch the kids a little bit. He and Hannah are having some You know Time together non vacation. I'm sure it could be completely different. You could be chaos Vacation is not going well, and he doesn't even have time to text you two small children on hikes Got stung by a man of war or something I mean, I assume we would have heard about that that that would have been the first thing he texted us here a day I've already been stung by a man of war. I'm in the emergency room Here in the islands, but I haven't haven't heard from woods in a while. So I hope he's doing well. I agree I yeah, I did not hear from him. I think he texted me once yesterday He texted us a little bit during the show. He was on with yeah after that It was but but after that very quiet so as it should be hopefully he's doing well But as I was saying a little nervous today as you might have seen If you follow us on social media or if you follow one Ted Lightner uncle Teddy's gonna be in studio later this morning or if you listen to our show we've mentioned Yeah, we have mentioned it a couple of times. He's gonna guest host starting in our eight o'clock hour Gonna be sitting right where woods he usually sits and I am I'm looking forward to having uncle Teddy in studio But I've also obviously you're nervous a little nervous about it. You know, he's a pod raise Hall of Famer one of just 17 to be inducted in the 55-year history of the San Diego Padres, so it's a it's a very exclusive San Diego club Calling Padres baseball for over 40 years Television legend, you know in your living rooms every night radio legend calling Aztecs radio legend and at all honestly the person who My career has been most closely modeled after Being a local TV sports anchor having a morning radio program The only thing I really haven't done You know Teddy had all the play-by-play experience as well and I haven't I haven't done that much play-by-play But yeah, I just find it incredible what he's been able to jam in To obviously, you know, it's San Diego and you know, he he called the Chargers He called the Aztecs he called the Clippers. He called the Padres I may be missing some things, but he literally has had a finger in every San Diego sports pie for like the last half century so whether you are a fan of Uncle Teddy or Whether you can't stand uncle Teddy, and I know that there are people who really fall on both sides of that He is Undoubtedly the most significant sports caster that this city has ever seen. Oh without a doubt No, I when I moved down here. No, nine. I Don't want to say I didn't like Ted or his style. It was an acquired taste though And once I once I kind of got it once it clicked for me I'm like he's one of the best I've ever heard he's so good It's not to say it's your Padres my Padres. Yeah, and I don't want to you know style downgrade anyone else You know Jerry Coleman's in the Hall of Fame and was amazing calling Padres games But in terms of the versatility what Ted can do and the fact the way he could Anchor a television sports cast and he they would give him I'm gonna ask him about it a little bit because he would get more time in one night Then I probably get in a like a week In a normal sports cast they would just sit him down and go here. Here's seven minutes Go just it's yours, and he would without a prompter He would sit there and you know, they have him some video clock show on the news. Yeah, and he would just narrate just off the cuff I'm sure he had some thoughts, but you know, maybe a note or two But it just seemingly off the cuff every night he'd sit down on kill camera goes on the light goes on Highlights come up and just go he just go uncle Teddy and it was absolutely Incredible and then he'd manage this entire schedule traveling with the Padres and calling games and then getting up in the morning And I don't know how many years he did that, but he had a morning radio show like we do It really is a remarkable sports casting career and you know stayed here in San Diego grew up in New York obviously and then went to Oklahoma State I think and then made his way out to San Diego, but then didn't leave you know He he probably could have gone big-time gone back to New York, but he didn't happen Absolutely, but in media they just use San Diego. It's a stepping stone to Los Angeles or the next big thing made is made It's just home here his career here a life here and he's as much a I You know, I consider him as much a native San Diego as anyone even though technically, you know He wasn't born here. I mean, he's he's pretty San Diego, you know, Ted Leitner if you if you have watched television or of San Diego sports exactly just of my lifetime, so Looking forward to having uncle Teddy in here and it sounds like he's looking forward to coming in He told me to buy last night goes new Ted Leitner I remember why you said that a couple years ago, but I got but a pale imitation There's no there's nothing like the original there's the original goes new Ted Leitner at best I'm the new formula, which is always not quite as good. So looking forward to that otherwise Polly How was your day yesterday? It was good. I did not do a whole lot just got to relax and Wednesdays are in between tier one basketball on Tuesdays and then we have tier one baseball We got nighttime baseball tonight Wow up in Escondido. So yeah, like a six thirty first pitch under the lights So I just relax got some laundry done yesterday and schedule makers are aggressive Yeah, tier ones this week we have a game tonight We have a game on Sunday and then we have a game next Tuesday, which I will be missing I have tier one basketball that same night. I can't do both So yeah, three games can't do the old beyond Sanders thing and now like at the same time Helicopter take you from one one event to the other and get out and dramatically arrive at halftime Maybe of your basketball game or something Escondido It's a line universities where we play basketball. So like Miramar right, you know It'd be I could maybe baseball and then haul ass over to basketball, but no not gonna make that happen I had my own competition of sorts yesterday. I have been waiting not I did I ask you once however you didn't I am I want to hear everything. It wasn't quite a sporting event It was the the messy Sunday making contest at Sammies at seven mile Which I was entered in yesterday playing for charity for the emo Brown Foundation Chance to win $2,500 and all I had to do was craft my own messy Sunday Sammies famous desserts And if I won not only would I I win $2,500 for the emo Brown Foundation But the winning Sunday was gonna be put on the menu at Sammies for the next year all the Sammies and San Diego Would feature the winning messy Sunday set it up. You were given was it like so? I was given a list of ingredients like what they already have in their kitchen that they have to work with and then I was allowed to bring a Special ingredient as well of my own that could be basically fairly easily acquired They had to pre-approve it like something that wasn't on the list and then at you know add it to it and make it my own Sunday make it your own Paulie, okay, so there were six competitors various media personalities couple of Radio people from from other stations couple of television people from a Spanish language stations because it was down in Chula Vista It was the the mayor of Chula Vista was there by the way mayor John He's a big tier one of the show morning Mayor John The assistant mayor and then Sammy of Sammy Sammy Ledecky was one of the judges and the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce so we're kind of doing the South Bay thing and something good for the community and they were all playing for different charities and Everyone got their turn and the first you know you'd go up and You would make kind of a presentation and introduce I had Caesar our friend who was representing emo Brown He was kind of my sous chef and he talked about the foundation and then you start making the Sundays and the first First four competitors went and how many do you have to make one just one one son now just one Sunday? And then they kind of each kind of passed around took a bite and moved on and it was judged on you know taste Presentation Creativity the name and the story that you kind of put together for it so First four contestants went and I felt I felt really confident. I felt like my my Sunday my idea Was definitely going to be something That they might want to put on their menu and none of the first four. No no offense to any other competitors I go I can't see this going on a restaurant. I can't I just can't so it came to our turn like a were they too extra? Yeah, just too many ingredients like you know pair syrup and coconut and ube and just Just I just said Mars a pan and go okay I get it you know you things you like and totally but I just don't know that this is going to be a popular seller Sammy's putting on this on as many he doesn't want nobody to order it So I went with a real crowd pleaser and my idea because they wanted to kind of tie it into the cross border and cultural heritage So I went with a Mexican mud pie Sunday So I made kind of the Mexican chocolate sauce with a little bit of the cinnamon to spice it up caramel sauce Toffee chips and then my my ingredient which wasn't on the list that I brought is Oreo cookies and I had Caesar Smash them all up into crumble. You know put them all in the Sunday and smash them on the side And then almonds for the night because those are usually in mud pies and then whipped cream and like a big Oreo on top for the good Presentation and we did the story. I thought it went really well judges seem to really enjoy it and I'm going okay I've I've got this in the bag all I have to do is survive The final contestant and so we move on and I got I'm feeling really good about this and Then the last contestant comes on woman from channel 12 which again Spanish language and She comes up and they're playing for the San Ysidro health centers and she's got her rep and They have like a whole like speech prepared written out I mean it is they have they have taken this very very seriously They have practiced like several times their Sunday had a great name for it Yeah, the berry messy Sunday and they went with a slightly healthier version Mine was the Mexican mud pie Mexican mud pie so they go with the berry mare berry messy Sunday and so they go with blueberries and strawberries and Seer up and then there's chocolate and whipped cream on top and they're going a little a little healthier a little change of pace And I go okay. I I felt really I felt really good about it still ice cream It's not hell ice cream but it and a couple of pieces of yeah, it's just a couple pieces of fruit But I could see I could see the judges I can see you know I can I kind of this is a little different I kind of like this idea and wouldn't you know yeah? I ended up finishing second ah the berry messy Sunday and I lost the the messy Sunday number two Yeah, dang, I mean, you know second place is just first loser. So your sounds really good I thought so too. Will you make me Mexican mud pie Sundays for me and woods on Wednesday? We should do that. I need to get all the ingredients. It's very messy and by the way They needed about five minutes to clean up the area after we had kind of trash the whole thing with the messy Sunday that we made But they still say seven miles still donated five hundred dollars to the emo Brown Foundation Which was really cool and unfortunately my my menu creation will not be available at Sammies At seven mile for the next year. You want to get the berry messy Sunday though. You'll probably be able to order Well, that's too bad. I'm glad you got to experience it. That sounds fun. Yeah, it was fun. Oh, you know what if some type of Challenge competition like that for you. I you know, I think I did Many years ago with Sammies as well. I think I did a Pete a media pizza-making contest. I didn't win that one either Okay, but I you know one of these 30 times a charm I watching a food food, you know network of those kind of programs that I felt like this is my chance I've always wanted to do this. I want to win Guess it's just not not in the cards But if only one of one winner could be yesterday I'd rather it be the San Diego Padres and they certainly got a good win yesterday We will talk about that coming up the eight to one win over the Los Angeles Dodgers last night We've got other than Ted Lightner. We also have other guests a good show. We'll set the menu for you when we come back Getting excited here for a throwback Thursday.

We've got our Padres wrap up and we will discuss last night's 8 to 1 win over Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers Dylan Seas following up is no-hitter with another solid performance on the mound as the Padres win for the ninth time in 10 games since the well Yeah, and the nighttime in 11 games since the all-star break and ninth out of their last 10 It's a remain in the wild card picture in what has been a pretty busy National League since the all-star break and since the trade deadline now with a lot of teams playing well So we'll get into the game coming up in our next segment then at seven o'clock We'll play real or fake on a throwback Thursday last chance this week. I know it's August I think we're wrapping up our July qualifications for the trip to Las Vegas the two nights at 3-0 and they Dinner for two in the daybed so a chance to get in no musical knowledge required today It's just a real or fake coming up at seven o'clock then 7 20. We'll get into don't do this 7 35 After we gave him the day off yesterday to celebrate his birthday we will have a postponed Adam Jones with us and Adam can give us his thoughts on what happened to the trade deadline obviously He's been here following the Orioles and what's been going on. They lost Jordan Westbrook To a broken hand. I think he got hit Injured which is a tough one for them. We just saw the Orioles Last week when they took on the Padres So but they made some moves at the break as well helps some thoughts on the Padres Coming up at 7 35 again uncle Teddy in our eight o'clock hour looking forward to that and then nine o'clock hour at 9 35 Eno Saris is gonna join us a little later than usual, but we wanted to make sure we caught up with Eno and I am curious what Eno has to say He's got all the stuff plus numbers and I really want him to do kind of a deep dive on the revamped Padres bullpen Yeah, and what it looks like now after the additions I mean we'll get into it here, but It now looks really really deep I mean when you have Alec Jacob coming in last night striking out the side in the seventh inning and Alec Jacobs been been really good since they brought him back up in fact He's been good every time they brought him to the big leagues the two times He's been up there and I kind of went through it and legitimately. He's probably the number seven option For Mike Schildt out of the Padres bullpen right now. Yeah, that's when you put him in as a 7-1 game Yes, he's like a mop-up man and he's coming in and striking out three Dodgers in a row making pitching ninja for how you know nasty and how much ride his His pitches have and you're going This is the guy you put in when you're the game's already out of hand and you've got at least six guys Who you think are better and nastier than this guy in your bullpen right now? Okay, now I can sort of see AJ Preller's plan From the trade deadline coming together a little bit because that that is a team You do not look forward to facing when you go up against the San Diego Padres And I want to talk to Eno about that the bullpen moves and how much of an impact He thinks it can have on the Padres over these final two months of the season Yeah, we talked to AJ Preller yesterday in our eight o'clock hour and he pretty much was alluding to like this is what Serious or teams with serious playoff hopes do you bolster your bullpen? It comes down to the bullpen and that was a those were moves that yes They're gonna help you in August and September as you push for the playoffs But they're really the the moves were designed for October to what the Phillies did yep adding Carlos Estvez It's what they've done in recent seasons when they've made their runs To the to the World Series and to the nationally championship series with both acquisitions and young guys You know from all verado to Sir Anthony Dominguez who they traded but now they've got Estvez Orion Kirkering the young guy they brought up last year that helped him in the pen now They got strum who's an all-star that they they bolster the picked him up from the from the Red Sox before last season That's a team that thinks they can win a World Series and when you think you can win You really want to get that bullpen charged up as much as possible ahead of a possible postseason runk the great thing for the Phillies though They know they're going to the playoffs So they can they can plan for their bullpen and they can start even thinking about you know How are we gonna use these guys? Rob Thompson kind of get guys in their lane for what he's gonna be doing in October because they're so far ahead and They're not really being challenged. They haven't even played well. They I think I saw yesterday The Phillies have the second worst record since the all-star break other than the Chicago White Sox And they're still not in any danger of really losing that division or missing the playoffs The podrays are in a completely different boat They also have a team that looks like could be a real threat in October But they also have a team that might not get to October because of the lack of pitching depth and we'll talk about it coming up Because this series against the Colorado Rockies They announced the starting pitching probable last night after Mike Schultz had already done his post game news conference They came out and said all right. Here's here's what we've got and if you missed it Randy Vasquez is gonna pitch tomorrow Martin Perez you on Saturday and they threw out the old TV a on Sunday not Michael King. So that's a That's a problematic Spot to be when you're in a tight playoff race and you're three starters For a series that you really kind of have to sweep I mean I'll take two out of three but really as anything less than the sweeps a tiny bit disappointing against the last place team Now, I know they swept the pot raise the last time so you say that and you go don't get ahead of yourself Well, this is the time you need to beat up on these teams and you're pitching Vasquez who got lit up his last time out Perez who's had like two good starts all season and you just acquired him and then you don't even know is it a bullpen Day is it Michael King what's going on there? That's a chance for you to really stub your toe and miss a great opportunity this weekend if you don't get decent pitching Now you still got that bullpen you can be aggressive maybe but if you fall behind, you know Five-one in the first few innings. It's tough. You can't always come back from those deficits So we'll talk about that coming up on the show today and again, you know, Sarah's will wrap things up for us coming up At 935 this morning with more on the new pot raise bullpen and pitching staff, but now up next We will get into last night's game another fun one at Petco Park another giant crowd To see the pot raise do something they have not done in 14 years, and that is clinches season series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers all the Jesse's highlights coming up next with Ben and Paul Reidel on San Diego's number one sports station 97 3 the fan So there was another sellout crowd last night at Petco Park and they have the numbers Paulie You have the two-game series a new record for a pot raise two-game series 24,000 good five hundred fifty six fans 94,000 for two games which broke the previous two-game record which was the the Mariners two-game series from Last month that was not as fun of a two-game series when the pot raise got swept by the Mariners That was like 82,000 they shattered the two-game series record, and I was wondering why I'm guessing they'll break the records again Later on this year like when you know the context has to be They expanded Gallagher Square they can sell more well Yeah, that's definitely why they've been breaking single-game attendance records with the new Gallagher Square They can get more standing room only tickets in there, so they have more people in the ballpark, but I was going Well, what's the difference in a two-game series and I think well, there's never a two-game series on Saturday and Sunday It's always either a three or a four Friday to Sunday or Thursday to Sunday or Friday to Monday But you never other than really like weird circumstance a rain out or something You never have a weekend series, so a two-game series is inherently always Tuesday Wednesday or Wednesday Thursday midweek Which tends to be smaller crowds for midweek games which is why the record was was a little bit lower It was only 82,000 or whatever it was But you get the Dodgers in town you get the excitement post trade deadline for this team playing as well as they have I Mean it just all came together for a what I mean What other team and baseball can draw that kind of capacity crowd for two midweek games? It's a it's pretty awesome pod race fans. You are great My wife went to the game last night with some friends, and she said really one of the one of the more fun games I mean it wasn't as amazing as they said yesterday Yeah, they said yesterday was like a thousand people less or something But I'm like still this is insane on a Wednesday night But because they kind of went ahead early you didn't have the Eight innings of your like stomach churning like you did on Tuesday. It was just kind of a fun Easy atmosphere, you know pod raiser up Never were really threatened in the game. It was just a nice night for everybody Seven-run lead yeah, I mean that all day you doing it to Clayton Kershaw Let's hear how it happened get to our Padres wrap up with Jesse Agler right after this check of traffic on 97 3 the fan I love winning man. I love I love winning. You know what I'm saying? It's like better than losing. Oh my god I'm so stiff Miss any of the Padres win yesterday Ben and Woods didn't what I proved we've got you covered with all of the highlights. I like it with the Padres way It's the Padres wrap-up presented by Hamul casino with rilling slots and tables in all the best rewards Hamul casino has all the fun you're looking for Hamul casino fun above all else Give me a due damage Damage is an extra sweet because it's against the Dodgers There's lead at first and second three and two barrel runs campus out of lines and into center field They said Jackson's going to score easily him wheeling around a third base RBI single, Luis Canvasano and a 1-0 cadre lead Kershaw comes set He'll deliver Johnson squares the bunt pushes it back towards the mound bobble by Kershaw and his suicide squeeze gonna work Kim comes into score Might have been a safety squeeze It was some kind of squeeze but Kershaw coming in had a pretty good Opportunity to make a play at the plate He bobbled it unable to pick it up and the Padres lead it to the nothing and he infield end pitch here Growned slowly towards first base. It will roll right to the bag Visio touches first for the out but Canvasano comes into score and the Padre lead is 3 to nothing 3 - golfed in the right center field That's down and a line drive base in for profile Rice Johnson comes into score for nothing San Diego in the second one and one to lunch sit in the air deep down The right field line big in aim for the torch. That's a fair ball But a one-hop up against the wall on that is scored O'Tani's gonna be held and his second base in RDI double Throw gets away on the infield Manny flips at home O'Tani's out. Oh boy Little bit of a miscue leads to the final out of the inning Dave Roberts wait and see if he wants to challenge this play at the plate But as the throw kind of got loose on the infield O'Tani decided to try and score Manny had the whole thing in front of him went to get it flipped at home And from here it looked like they easily tagged O'Tani out Here's the two and one swung on hitting the air deep to left field Tastor Hernandez back towards the corner looking up good to go First balcony Western medal and Luis Campasano who had an RBI single in the second Adds a home run here in the fourth two pitch muscled into right field That's a line drive and a basic Johnson rounding third on his way He's gonna score a rise into third base RBI single jerks and profile and a six-to-one Padre lead in the fourth inning Just kind of a half swing fly ball into center field that should be deep enough catch made by Pajez Arise is tagging on his way. He will score Sacrifice flies Andrew Bogart's Padre lead is seven to one here in the fourth inning one into again And Merrill swings into the air to deep right. Hey word is back. This one is Off the top of the wall might have hit a fan. They're gonna say it's in play Bogart's comes into score Merrill ends up at second and now we wait and see 1-0 pitch Medusa swings hits it in the air to right center field Merrill is on his way He will get there to make the catch and the ball game is over The Padre sweet the Dodgers with an eight to one win here tonight They are seven and three against LA and they have won the season series from the Dodgers for the first time since 2010 That's played well both games Doing was good. Good like to his fastball slaughter was good Say what execute we needed to You did a nice job of getting into the sixth force another quality job by doing Padre is now a season high eight games above 500 after they sweep the Dodgers with an eight to one win Yesterday and did it against Clayton Kershaw who is Now he's mostly owned the Padres in his career as he has done most teams Because he's gonna be a future Hall of Famer But he's not he's not Clayton Kershaw anymore making a second start of the season And I thought maybe after the first inning and go. Okay, he's hitting some corners Maybe he's got maybe he's got a little gas left in the tank But when Clayton Kershaw is not getting swing and miss and a slider not as sharp Tell us you know decent curveball and some decent control, but he's just not he's just not as devastating as he was and The Padres were able to make consistent contact put together that nice rally there in the second inning to score four runs And ultimately they not Clayton Kershaw out in the fourth inning three and two-thirds six hits Seven runs just three of them earn mostly because of his own error on the on the bunt by Bryce Johnson there in the second inning But it ended up being his first career start and he's made 424 of them in his career his first career start without at least one strikeout which is got to be concerning for the Dodgers that Clayton Kershaw is not going to be the answer They've got Tyler Glass now. He's Remarkably state-healthy, you know, I'll give him credit You know, they've managed him they shut him down for a little while with a Injury to try to save some innings maybe maybe smartly to do so But you've got to still be worried but based on his history is he going to be available for the oldest curse end of the year in the playoffs Kershaw is like 36. Yeah, yeah, he looked old yesterday. Yeah, he did he looked old and I've always respected it Clayton Kershaw the pitcher He's a first ballot Hall of Famer pretty much for certain I would say but He's he's just at the end and he could not get anything going yesterday against his Padres lineup Whereas Dylan sees Three hits all night long for the Dodgers and but I was watching the game. It was like the second inning Kershaw was soaked in sweat I could see his entire back was like sweating through that paper thin new uniform that they all have to wear And I'm like he just doesn't look he doesn't look great. He looks old It's and it wasn't you know, it wasn't the the big boppers that were necessarily Doing it the Padres got two hits from Campusano including the home run. They got two hits from Bryce Johnson by the way his first career to hit game ever Good for Bryce Johnson. I also had the bunt The well less is everybody even Bryce Johnson, you know when the Padres are at their best They're getting production up and down the lineup and it was a very balanced attack yesterday Leading to the eight runs, you know, obviously Dylan sees had another we're so spoiled after the last three starts that five and two thirds three hits and one run and six strikeouts feels like Ho-ha-mo whatever I mean two of the hits were infield singles out of a three and then the other hit which was the the luck's double into the corner Actually was a pretty pivotal play in the game. Remember you heard it Jesse call it after the Padres had scored four in the bottom of the second inning Dodgers had their one rally. They had two guys on Lux hits the double scores one O'Tani rounds third in the throw from Bryce Johnson gets away and Manny Machado Does what Derek Jeter did against the what was the Oakland A's? Yeah way back in the playoffs in 2000 I think it was where he kind of intercepts the throw in the infield and makes the little flip home to get show. Hey O'Tani and while Jeter's obviously came in a huge moment in the postseason and was almost Acrobatic because he was like there out of nowhere in some ways. I thought Manny's Managed is even more impressive because he had to sprint He had to sprint to follow it and like chase O'Tani down to grab it and then Get the throw just ahead of show. Hey O'Tani just another example of why Manny Machado is such a great baseball player Such great instinct such great understanding. Yeah, they're both great. Yes. I don't think they need to be compared I mean Jeter ran from third base to the first base line Yeah, and it was one of the most incredible plays I've ever seen back in 2000 both whatever it was but But no, I mean it was the first play I thought of when I was watching the game yesterday and saw me and I'm like Oh little little Derek Jeter action there, but just the heads up and The awareness by Manny Machado there at third base. That's something that I feel like we still take for granted How good of a third baseman man in Machado is just it blows my mind every single day that he is Anchoring that position for us for this franchise. He's so So good at third. He had quite the the two games the last couple of days With the with the two home runs with the great catches in the first game with that play Last night and then you know that that pretty much gave Dylan sees the only help he needed He did lose his hit list streak at 15 innings I didn't realize he had gotten up to 15 straight innings without allowing a hit before the infield single by Hayward Almost could have made I mean Dan or almost could have made that play, but that it was gonna end at some point It did 24 straight scoreless inning streak came to an end with that run in the third But ultimately, you know five and two thirds And you know the Dodgers are still gonna work some counts and they drove the pitch count up a little bit You knew Mike Schultz got plenty of bullpen now. No reason to make I Think he went over a hundred pitches No reason to pull push Dylan sees after he went with a no hitter his last time out You want to save some of those bullets for later in the season? So I was fine with shilt taking him out there in the sixth And then the bullpen was terrific as well the new look Padres bullpen Started with more at home just getting the one out and then we saw Alec Jacob striking out the side Saw the debut of Jason Adam got a couple of fly balls took only six pitches to get through his inning and The debut of Brian hoeing who needed only eight pitches to get through the ninth inning and his pond raised debut We still haven't seen a Tanner Scott who was available and we'll probably make his debut I would assume on Friday when the Colorado Rockies come to town But that new look bullpen is certainly a weapon that Mike Schultz has now at his disposal Going toward the rest of the season and if last night was a preview liked what I saw last night from the Padres pin You know we talked about what a two-game series for Manning Chata We haven't even mentioned his name yet, but how about the rookie. Hi. This is Jackson Merrill. I mean Amazing game on Tuesday night. The guy was almost had a home run again yesterday Not phased whatsoever by this Dodgers team Dodgers pitching the moments whatever he has been so Impressive lately we he had like that insane month of June and we mentioned we didn't say we were concerned But the power numbers obviously we're gonna dip down from a insane month like that But he has been so locked in both defensively and at the plate And he's just an absolute thrill to watch every single night at 21 years old like Tetis He's been a Dodger killer here in his first season. I love it He is he's come up. I think his weighted runs created against the Dodgers like 170 something his average is like 380 or 390 against the Dodgers so far and his his rookie season two for four yesterday and as you said nearly had that home run in the Seventh inning nice try by the fans out there on the in that what is the right field? You should be the whiskey deck. Now. It's the chrome tour, right? It's the callaway chrome tour ride deck Yeah, that's the callaway chrome tour deck out there. I think but they were trying to signal Yeah, home run it got over said touch someone didn't it did go up right against the corner of the wall I mean could have bounced either way gone over it came back It wasn't it wasn't a home run the the umpires did make the right call But everyone there once they started kind of you know doing their fingers in the home run motion I go oh they must have seen it go over it must have hit a fan or something beyond the wall and come came back onto the field No, it didn't no one touched it. That was that was just a double off the top of the wall But hey you got it you got to try when you're the fans out there sell it for the you know Try to make the call difficult for the umpire still Jackson Merrill with the home run on Tuesday and a near home run that power stroke is still in there You know pops up when you least expect it, but you know continue to hit 286 452 slugging and remains squarely in the conversation for nationally rookie of the year We'll probably have that conversation at the end of the season after All the numbers are in and we see what Paul skeens ends up doing whether they you know They stay in the pennant race and he pitches all the way through or they end up shutting him down will probably be pretty important He's got the he's kind of got the hype advantage over Jackson Merrill, but I always I will always give the edge to a position player That plays every single day at a high level No matter what paul skeens is doing that's historic he can only do it every fifth or sixth day for the pittsburgh pirates So yeah, we're gonna go up against the hype train of paul skeens that everybody across the country is all bored but Jackson meryl is the rookie of the year I like no other rookie has made an impact like I like daily basis. I don't know that he'll win it I do know that I don't think he cares. He says he doesn't care and I believe him. I do know that But I don't know this but I would imagine that if the pod rays offer Jackson meryl to the pirates for paul skeens straight up Pirates to do that in the heartbeat I think they would he can be that's why I think Jackson meryl is the rookie of the year We'll come back. We got some realer fake next year on the fan Trying to figure out what to eat for dinner yet again with north sides and bullion is you're not so secret ingredient You can skip the drive-through and do dinner at home nor taste combos provide a menu of delicious affordable and well-balanced meals that you can prepare in 30 minutes or less Visit nor.com to get quick and easy recipe ideas for your home cooked weeknight dinners It's not fast food, but it's so good
