The fan, it is a, it's a sweepy Thursday today. Man, sweeps have been few and far between for our beloved San Diego Padres, but they got one yesterday. We will talk about that this morning. Certainly. I'm Woodsie. That's Paul Reindel. He's the executive producer. Good morning, Polly. No guttural yell. My voice is a little cashed. This is yelling at the kids and stuff, you know, screaming all the time. Summer, man. You know, it goes. Benjamin Higgins, your friendly neighborhood sports anchor joins us as well. Good morning, Benjamin. Good morning. It's Thursday. You're going to save a little bit of the tank for the roundtable extra hour. That's the other. Yeah. That's the other part. And I've got marriage counseling after that. So it's like the hell day Thursday. It's not hell. It's all good stuff, but it's just a lot of Thursday at about one o'clock. I'm real tired of the sound of my own voice, like really, really done with me at that point. No roundtable for me. So yeah, you can take it over for me. I love a good sweep, man. I really do. I like more of those. It wasn't supposed to be as close and terrifying as it was at the end of the game. But it was. It was. And that's, that's been the, if you, if you didn't think that was going to happen, you have not been watching the San Diego Padres this season. I mean, it's truly like nothing has come easy to this team at all. I mean, really, I honestly can't remember the last super comfy. You know, I feel confident in turning the TV off and moving on a game and ain't nothing in the eighth inning after a grand slam. If that's not comfortable enough, you're feeling pretty good. I don't know what to say. You're feeling pretty good, man. But yeah, we'll get into all that. We had our member live stream last night. That was, that was great. It was a lot of fun. I'd share a lot of stories. And if you're not a member, you need to be a member. It's fun. You get to join us once a month. We do a live stream where all bets are off. The gloves are off and Ben is nude on it. And it's just, it's a sight to see. It's a sight to see. Speaking of stories, are you going to share the story you just told us? Yes. About our brand manager, Adam Klug, because that one, that one can't wait. I know we've got four hours, but I feel like that one needs to jump right into foreplay. And I feel like, um, I feel like he gave it to me to share. I did not ask him for permission to share, but I don't think he'd mind. He loves, he likes somebody said yesterday. I was making, he knows you well. Yeah. Yeah. There's, there's an intrinsic, there's like an understanding that if you're saying, hey, don't say this unless you specifically say, I want to tell you this, but please don't, yeah, please don't share it with the listeners. You know that that story is going to going to be part of the show. Well, and the thing is, is like, I thought to myself, should I wait for him to tell it? And then I thought, no, I'll tell it. I'm a better storyteller than he is. Somebody said yesterday in the chat, dude, Adam, Adam's going to fire woods. He one day because I just hounded, but he's not like he loves being a part of this show. Good, bad. He, and he's told me 100 times, you do what you have to do. Like hammer me for the show, right? Like hammer me if you one of his best quality. It literally was a best boss. 100%. Like, and he knows good content, good content. So I love that man. And don't ever get it twisted that think to think that I don't love him. I absolutely love him. Bar none the best boss. Is it extra sweet because there's against the Dodger? I mean, how do you hate that guy, dude? We've had, we've had bosses that would not allow us to no question play a clip. No one of them. No question. What is that now? Two and a half years? Yes. So I texted him because again, it's weird for me when Adam's out of town. I talked to Adam. I talked to Adam and I would say it used to be once a day. Now it's like maybe a couple times a week, we'll check in and, you know, hey, this is what's going on. This is what we need, whatever. And he will, hey, share stuff with me that, you know, things that we need to be aware of and whatever. So we're friends. Adam and I are good friends. So I texted him yesterday at almost five o'clock. I said, Hey, how's the vacay? He writes back. I'm not on vacation. I'm traveling. That's good, though. Just hectic seeing so much family. Got a great story for you, though. Now, to be fair, oftentimes when Adam says, I've got a great idea. It's the worst idea that you've ever heard. We need Ben and Ben and Adam have an idea off at one point. Our bad ideas are different though. They are way different. And they're both. Listen, I could find gold in both of them, right? Mine just tend to be duds. His are maybe a little too tri-hard. They're very way tri-hard. Yes. That's a good way to put it. So I said, I can't wait. And so I didn't know he was going to tell me right then. So he did. My mom wanted pictures of the kids from my phone. So I let her go through my gallery and text pics to her phone. She ended up texting a pic of my son to AJ Preller. Morning guy. Oh my god. He goes. Oh my god. He goes and composed another text with a bunch of pics of my kids to AJ Piersinski. But I caught her on that one before she had said. So I write back what? The F. She didn't know what she was doing with my phone. And it was trying to text. Adam's mom named AJ. It's got to be something. It's got to be something, right? Who doesn't have their mom and their phone? His mom, right? So it was trying to text herself. Holy crap. But somehow was sending pics to random people in my contacts. And I said, I'm dead. He doesn't would have been so much better if Preller had responded, but he didn't. Now listen, the first thing I thought of was Preller's got to be like, what the hell kind of operation are you guys running? We got Woods's dad wearing me out about trade trading with the Guardians as a potential trade partner. If you missed that story, I took my family down to batting practice. And I, again, was fortunate enough to have five minutes with Sheila Seidler, who I had never met, but had sent us a beautiful gift when we did the four-hour show on Peter. You know, it was, they loved it. And they listened to it. And it was really raw and amazing. And I was just so happy to meet her. I was kind of wrapped up in that convo with Sheila. And then I looked over my shoulder and saw my dad chopping it up with president of baseball ops, AJ Preller. And we walked away and what did you say? I was just asking them, you know, potential deals, how to improve. And, you know, I thought the Guardians might have been an interesting partner, but they're playing. So well, I go, dad, just shut up Gary, I'm glad you asked. Jose Ramirez, actually, we're really close. Yeah, right. Like, so I just, I thought about it immediately. So he's got my dad wearing them out about potential trade partners. Randomly, the brand manager for 97.3 fan is just texting random pictures of his kid, which is super weird and creepy. So I'm sure there was a follow up AJ. So sorry, you know, but no, the no response is what kills you. Hey, no problem. It happens. Like that just murders you. So so far, so far, so going so well for Adam on his on his on his trip. Yeah, it's not a vacation. Three kids, including a, you know, baby going to see family. There's nothing relaxing about that. Nothing. Nothing. None whatsoever. Across the country, like there's just, so he's, I was like, bro, that is such a good story. Finally, finally you hit one. Here's a question. Would you ever give your mom your phone? There would be things that, it's not only like weiners or boobs or anything in there, but I don't, I have like, like memes and, I mean, I'm looking through right now. I probably would. I probably, well, there's nothing in here. That's nothing, nothing untoward in every bunch of pictures. But I don't, I would just say, I'll send you some pics, right? Like, I'll just send you, I'll give you all the pics that you need. We have what we did, which I was really smart. My wife did this. And this is good. If you have gram, you know, if the grandparents live somewhere else, we bought my parents this, it's like a living frame. Oh, yeah. It's called, right? Yeah. And so Hannah will upload new pictures of the kids. So every morning when my parents wake up, they walk down to the living frame and they just stare at it for an hour. And it's new fresh pictures of the kids. So that way you're not, it just they're, they're new pictures and we gotta, you know, gotta remember to upload them and stuff like that. But they love it. I mean, they'll just stay there drinking their coffee, watching the pictures of the kids scroll by and this is boat camp and this is Taylor, you know, at his soccer camp or whatever. So they get way into that. But that was one of them. That's a really good gift. I don't know what it's called. It's something like that. Hannah, digital photo, yeah, digital frame. Hannah could put it in the chat. I know she's up and in there, but it's really, really good. Are there many feelings worse? Because we've all done it. Maybe not texting a picture of our kids to AJ Preller, but we've all sent a text and then within the next five seconds realized. Oh, F. That's not who that was supposed to go to. Oh, yeah. You got like a work thread or show thread and you are expecting, you think you're texting your wife and you go, Oh, hey, babe, I'll, yeah, I can pick that up at the store later, whatever it is. And then you really hit send me, you go, I didn't, I didn't switch that thread. And then you have to go, sorry, that was meant for shell. Sorry. And you just, you feel so stupid when you do that. So stupid. We were in, we were talking to our buddy at Callaway a few weeks ago about the, the bed and woods open. And we were also, I was also watching the Padres game and there was some terrible mistake somebody made and I'm right. Like, how does this effing moron do this? And he, it sent it to our buddy, Finley. Now we know him. But like, what if that was a sponsor? We didn't know we were trying to woo to the golf tournament. Like, who is this cycle path? Like screaming and text messages right now. So yeah, it's got to, you got to be careful. But yeah, so Adam is, he's out. He'll be back. What next week? Is that right? Yeah, next week. Anybody? I think he's going to be back Monday. Exactly what that text was now. Yeah, it's in there. No, I remember it. Yeah, it was, yeah. Oh, found it. You said to the three of us with our buddy from Callaway, what the all caps, what the F are you looking for on a three one count? Xander. And then remember, Callaway then follows up with not Shoffley, not Shoffley. Yes, we love Alexander Shoffley. Why simply the best? It's so good. It's called the aura frame, by the way, if you are interested in getting one of those for your parents or grandparents, if they live far away. But yeah, it really, really works well. If any tier ones in the, in the YouTube stream or on social media want to share their most embarrassing, I sent the wrong text. Oh, yeah, it'd be great to the wrong person story. We're here for it this morning. This is a pretty relaxed Thursday after an early game yesterday, no game later today. The content would be appreciated. I ended things with a girl that way. Oh, unintentionally. How did that how did that play? Unintentioned. Well, I mean, I was hoping to get out of that situation. Right. Just not that way. I texted someone else that you were like the rough draft. Like, no, I need to break up with so and so and how should I do it? And you actually send it to freshman year at college. That's fun with somebody. That's sex. He had sex with her is what he's saying. Fun. It'd be a minute. It came really annoying really quickly. And I want it out. And I was texting a buddy. Do this chick will not stop like bothering me. Like she's so effing annoying. Didn't send it to my buddy. Because the next text I got was from her and she says, wow, a hole. Yeah, I go. Yeah. Yeah, I am. Got the job done, but not not my finest moment. I'm not happy about it. You two still friends today? No. Yeah. No idea where she's at. Makes me stomach hurt. Yeah. Now back in my day, we didn't have any news. You just didn't have to answer the phone. That was the best point you had to answer to. Hey, it's Steve, please leave a message. I'll call you back. That's it. You still have to answer the phone. Whoo. Man, Polly. It was hard core. When I tell you, my heart stops. Can you put the two together? You're like, oh, you can, you can unsend now. Can't you? I think it tells you, it still shows you like what it said. I think so. Like it just, it'll say like, Steven Woods, unsent a message, but you can't see the message. I don't know. Text me something. Melamel says that he wants sent a text that was about his boss, but actually sent it to his boss and said, oh, I made that bleeper rich. I made that effort rich. All right. What does your phone say? I just sent you something and then unsent it on our message. Paul Reindel unsent a message. You can't see it. That's a game changer. But you don't know they, you could see it really quickly. You could get your microphone if I had it. You have to be like there. Whoo. You're just hoping that they didn't look at their phone in the last 15 seconds or whatever it is when you try to undo. It's worth a shot. The Dominic Dominic says that's the subconscious acting on your behalf. You need to watch out for your subconscious for sure. Because yeah, you're like, I'm going to text Paul. I'm going to text something about Paul and then you send a true poll. Jamie says, I meant to text my coworker about how much of an a-hole or boss was and actually sent it to the boss. I text Adam what an a-hole he is all the time. So I don't have to unsent any of those. Yeah, let's get into some San Diego Padres baseball. Great, great sweep yesterday for Fred innings. I mean, it was one of the better games the San Diego Padres played all season long and just exactly what the doctor ordered. Kyle Higashiyoka is on the Lin Sanity run of all time right now and just so valuable to this baseball team. Nobody. Nobody could have predicted that one Benjamin got an extra pair of Legion tickets going to give away. It's their final game of the season. We'll do that next set your Thursday menu as we get underway four plus one round table later this morning. Do not go anywhere. It's Ben Woods.

This may be the winner here of the wrong text that you said. Oh my God. Our buddy, Anthony, the butcher, girl customer. She used to order ground turkey by the case. Texted her voice to text with my watch. I said, your ground turkey is ready and my clerk yelled in the background with my D and it picked up and I hit send. Oh my God. He said, yeah, the word like Rick with my Rick. Isn't that funny? I can say with my Rick. I can't see the other one. Stupid, stupid, stupid business with my Rick and the Apple Watch heard it. Picked it up. He hit send. Oh my God. So then he had to, he said, I explained everything about it or everything that happened. She was a great sport about it. He said, I almost killed my clerk. And I then had to explain to my wife what happened because my texts go to our, our Mac at home. Yeah, ma'am, I have your ground turkey that I've prepared with my Rick. Right? How's that work? She's excused me. Life seems like I want that turkey anymore. I'm going to pass. I'm going to pass on that ground turkey. So gnarly. Yeah. And she comes, she comes here like, ma'am, I'm so sorry. This idiot over here. And then how about the fun boy over there yelling that from the background, like, he's just in the bathroom, he's throwing his hands on me. I'm like, God, I got it. I could get fired for this. Well, 100% and like soon or something, a sexual harassment with my Rick. That's exactly how he said it, by the way, I know, I wasn't there, but I know he's like, with my right, I know it. I know it to be true. What about Jeff here on Twitter said I was once sending a text to my wife looking forward to date night. Love you. But I send it to my son's nanny. That is like, that is like, that is so far beyond the realm of okay to where she's like, she looks at you and she's like, I'll, I'll take you at your word. Or were you just fishing? Were you like throwing this out there just to see? Well, back to Anthony the butcher. He has given us the update. She was down. She said, Anthony, I'm blushing. Oh, we had a playful customer. Very playful. Down, down for what? For him to do that in her turkey or to use the term. What a freak. I'm not here to kingshame anyone. No, if you like your turkey a certain way, prepare it a certain way, who am I to say that that's the wrong way to prepare it certain poultry fetish? How does that feel in one day? Oh, man, man, turkey, you know, we've all seen American pie is thinking the same American turkey. Don't get the ideas out there. You deviance. That is something else, man. That is something else. All right, let's go talk to baseball. I guess it's a weird transition, I feel like. Here's what we've got coming up for you setting the menu for our Thursday program. We'll get right into our pot raise wrap up of yesterday's eight to five win. I think we'll just call it the Kyle Higashiyoka game yesterday with a good side of Dylan Cease as the pot raise completed their sweep of the Washington Nationals on a throwback Thursday at seven 10. We'll play a little reel or fake. Try to qualify another listener tier one for the trip to Las Vegas at the Fonten blue, the concert tickets, $150 poolside dining credit. Don't do this at 720. We have an update on one of the more unsavory college coaches that we had yesterday and don't do this. What happened in the last 24 hours with Jim Schloss Nagel. So that's coming up at 720. In our second half of the program, you know, Sarah's will join us for his smart baseball weekly segment at 835. Paulie's Rinder report. And of course, getting you ready for the old round table at 10 o'clock this morning is everyone files their way in. It's once again, every single question. Do not sing the week. It's completely a 180 from the week before. You're right. Three weeks ago or two weeks ago, everything was great. Pot raise were on a roll. Looked like they had turned a corner. Last week coming off a miserable week. What's wrong with this team? This is awful. Everything is falling apart. And of course, this week, going to be all sunshine and roses again in the round table. I'll say what I said a couple of weeks ago. Nothing we ever say about this team seems correct or meaningful. Correct. Correct. I think, you know, when we get down to the end of the season, Ben, and we are sitting at 81 and 81, and it are the six seed in the playoffs, I still don't think it'll be meaningful. I just don't. I really don't. But yeah, so we have no, we have no idea what to expect in Boston or Texas doesn't really matter how either of those teams are playing. You just don't know what San Diego potteries are going to show up. You don't know that they've been you feel like maybe they've been galvanized a little bit with the the goings on at Petco Park, the electric last couple of weeks, a normal team that you just they would be galvanized. Yes. This would mean something the way they've played lately. Absolutely, generally mean something. And it means something good. Yeah. Well, we'll talk all about it coming up in our potteries wrap up in our next segment first, though, and in our round table and in our round table. First though, we have some tickets to give away. It is the season finale, regular season finale before the playoffs for the San Diego Legion rugby squad. They will be at Snapdragon stadium this Saturday to take on the Seattle sea wolves. And we got a pair of tickets right now for a tier one who wants to call in. Let's be a quick caller. Second caller, 833-288-0973, 833-288-0973. Second caller going to wear it with a pair of tickets to the sea wolves Legion rugby match this Saturday at Snapdragon stadium. You can get your own tickets at SD Legion.com. All right, we'll come back with all the highlights from Jesse and get to our potteries wrap up on a throwback Thursday. Oh, by the way, Polly has a couple of great throwbacks again on this Thursday. Oh, really good ones. Really good ones. Where are we going to put those in, Polly? Like you're eight o'clock. We're right around nine o'clock. Nine o'clock hour. Sometimes the second half probably will get to some of our throwback clips, but calling for the Legion tickets and then we'll return with our potteries wrap up next year with better woods on San Diego's number one sports station, 97 three the fan. I know you're thinking it. So why don't we just say it out loud? When Luis Campusano comes back from the entry list to the potteries have a catching controversy on their hand. It's all of a sudden no controversy would require two catchers to be playing well. I mean, Kyle Lagashyoka has absolutely earned five starts a week right now, 100%. I mean, he's doing it with the bat. He's doing it with his arm. He's the only guy that can catch Waldron, you know, and obviously got off to a really slow start here, but he was also catching Waldron, which is a gnarly assignment as we talked about. You guys never caught a knuckleball before. Hey, by the way, welcome to the new city, the new team. You're in one of the biggest trades of all time. We need you to catch our burgeoning knuckle baller. Oh, cool. Also, by the way, you can't use the big floppy mint. You got to use a regular mint because y'all throw also throws a fastball and a sweeper and a slider too. Does that sound good? You're going to get about four A Bs a week. I need you to make the most of that opportunity. Right. I mean, and then when he has gotten his opportunity lately, he hasn't missed. And I think defensively, Ben, the ability to throw out base runners is not something that we saw with Campusano at all. I'm not ready to give up on Luis Campusano, but I do feel like he's got to kind of earn his way back in. I'm not saying a full Wally Piff here has gone on with with Campi and Higashioka because Higashioka is on a run right now. You're going to milk that thing for as long as you can. But yeah, I don't know that there's a controversy. But yeah, the thing about catching is both guys are going to get plenty of time now. And I think Kyle has certainly earned some more. Well, we'll talk about it. Let's get the highlights. Six runs batted in for one Kyle Higashioka yesterday. Day. Our Padres wrap up coming up right after this check of traffic on 97.3. The fan. I love winning, man. I love, I love, I love, I love winning. You hear 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 a group. We've got you covered with all of the highlights. I like it when the Padres win. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's the Padres wrap up presented by Hamu Casino with thrilling slots and tables in all the best rewards. Hamu Casino has all the fun you're looking for. Hamu Casino, fun above all else. Yeah. Give me a do damage. Do damage. It would look nothing the same. As this one is launched down the left of your line. Fair a home run. Second balcony Western medal, which has sort of become the Higashioka zone. A two run shot and a two nothing. Padre lead. Johnson squares to Bunt takes high goes to the backstop. Eggy charging home. He'll score. Roar from Millis ended up hitting Rosario as he slid into home plate. Looks like he's all right. And the Padres on a wild pitch add on. It's three to nothing. Here's the one and home. Pro for hard hit up the middle and a left center and a base hit. Higashioka will come in and score. I've got some more for Georgetown Pro for an RBI single and now four to nothing. Padre lead. Again, the one two pitch swung on a missed right three. He's got it. Breakout seven, eight and nine in a one, two, three top of the sixth inning. Here's the pitch and that's it in the year to deep left field. Did he do it again? Oh boy. Did he third balcony Western medal and the Padres have gone slam the ego against the next. Three one. Thomas Wainson is a part of the ground beyond the dive over Rosario and down the left field line. Young gonna score easily. Nunez very fast on his way. He'll score as well. It's a two run double for Lane Thomas and now an eight to two game here in the top of the ninth inning. More at home delivers and a breaking ball hit in the air down the right field line. That's a fair ball. Gonna go all the way to the corner. Thomas on his way home and S is being weighed behind him. The throw comes into Croninworth. No relay to the plate. It's a two run double for the second time here in the ninth inning and all of a sudden eight to four San Diego. Still only one out. Harold Ramirez the batter, right handed hitter chops one to the right side. Long way to go. Croninworth can't make the play. It's into right field. Garcia rounding 30 is going to score and it's eight to five here in the ninth that's until one out of three. The only guy who they hit before this inning swings to the first pitch crowns it to short. Kim's got it. Beat the second one on the first in time double play and the ball game is over. Well they wanted to make you sweat a little bit at the end but all's well that ends well. Rodriguez sweep the Nationals and finish a six and one home stand as they get ready to hit the road. We're really strong home stream. You know really really nice job. Whole home stand obviously. We're gonna get all three on this in this series. So yeah it's a great game. Really professional game across the board. You know doing really set the tone. This did a lot of good things that create a lot of good clean baseball. You know Dylan was fantastic for his seven through multiple pitches for strikes. Introduce a little bit more of the curve ball which was nice to see mixed in a change up. Got a few outs on the change up. A few rollovers through in a little bit more so that was good. Just in control and of course the offense you know what you're gonna say about Hickey anyway today. I love a good home strand. I really do. I love a home strand. Maybe we should send him some tacos from home straight home straight home straight home straight home state. Yeah to celebrate the home strand. What a really strong home strand. Yeah it was very strong Mike. Sorry Mike that's what we do here on this program. Don't take it personally. You probably will. Well Dylan Seuss was terrific. It turned out the previous start which he showed some signs of throwing better. Yeah and then got knocked out in the fifth inning on a bunch of weak hits and not you know not a ton of hard contact. Did carry over and he had one of his classic Dylan Seuss efforts which allowed the Padres to you know take advantage of Kyle Higashiyoka's offense. Build that 8-0 lead and yes it got a little too nervous in the in the ninth inning. I will be honest I had um I was at work I was not I was barely even paying attention once I got to the ninth inning and the moment I saw oh wait hold on is that 6-8-5 it was already hidden into the double play in the game. So I never really didn't have had the chance to panic. It was over before I really got into full panic mode. Here comes of tying runs in the you know on deck what what's going on here. Oh Robert Suarez is up again but they did as Jesse said nipped it in the bud right right before it got this truly truly uh oh here we go again time. I do like the phrase all's well that ends well. Yeah 100% you you know they're they're gonna they're gonna try to get some knocks off of a not great pitcher right now Tom Cosgrove and they did and credit to them for getting five runs. You know it's not something you want to see. I was in the same boat Benny. As soon as Hickey hit the Grand Slam my son had been asking me to throw in Grounders in the street and I said all right let me just let me get you know there's four nothing at the time and I'm like all right let's make sure we get this thing in in in order. Hickey hits the Grand Slam. Go get your shoes on and we go out to the street and I just happened to pick up my phone. I was gonna put some music on while we were taking Grounders and I go eight five runner on like what in the world I run inside and see the ground ball to end it and was like good God man. I mean it's one of those things we were talking about this a couple weeks ago. Sometimes even their wins like no they don't feel like losses obviously but you're like I can't even enjoy this win properly like just put your foot on their throat and get three outs and not have to get Robert Suarez up and you know we were talking in the break. I feel like Robert Suarez is is going to burn out at some point because of the overuse but then you put my mind at ease a little bit. Robert Suarez has thrown 33 innings this year which is uh is neither you know a lot more or a lot less than other top closers Ryan Helsley who has the most saves in baseball with 28 has thrown 36 innings Immanuel Klase so good 0.7 ERA for the Cleveland Guardians he's from 38 innings so five more innings than Robert Suarez even Josh Hader who has not had a great season with the Houston Astros has thrown 35 and 2/3 innings more than Robert Suarez now there's other closers that are around 29 28 so Suarez has definitely thrown more than some of the other guys but yeah his usage doesn't stand out in the crowd among top closers in Major League Baseball this year it's right right in line with where it should be at this point and again I don't watch enough Cardinals games or Astros games to know how many times they've had to get Josh Hader up to get loose uh you know letting late runs I don't and that look that counts every what did he you know Sarah say every pitch you throw is just you know it's just another bullet that you're off well off day whatever like working out there's a limited number there's a limited number and we have had to get him up the thing is you don't I don't mind Robert Suarez coming in in a 4-2 game it would to get 4 outs like that's what he's built for what I do mind is having to get that man off his ass at all in an 8-0 game what he has done is he's he's worked in more intense stretches I think than some other closers he's had like made made he's had like two weeks where they didn't use him at all that's true because they've never had a lead they are in five you know five game losing streak didn't have a chance to bring him in or when they won they were up you know more than they needed didn't come in so he's had like two of those stretches where well haven't seen last saturday last time we've seen Robert Suarez and then of course they have those stretches where they need him for multiple innings two days in a row or one inning plus for three days in a row so he's worked in intense stretches over the course of the season so it's certainly something you do want to keep an eye on oh and they definitely are they definitely are they've they've done a good job at managing him yet it's not his fault it's not his fault that he's had to get up and get loose and because there's been there's been games where you know it wasn't a safe situation and Mike Schultz like enough i've seen enough i'm gonna go to the reliable guy that can get us this dub i really have no problem with that whatsoever like do you does any problem with that knowing you can't pick up the phone and count on at this point today really anybody else but that guy to get you a huge out even if you're up five runs but even more at home you did a mound visit hundred percent if this team made sense i would say but the worst is behind them they just finished a stretch of 26 games in 27 days there are plenty of off days on the calendar coming up especially in the near future with the all-star break with an off day today another off day on monday two more off days on the final homestand before the all-star break there's no real need to worry about bull pen rest and usage for the next three to four weeks there's going to be plenty of chances to get guys off and get guys rested my only worry is of course that nothing about this team makes sense because one thing i know about baseball is that when you are at the end of a really long stretch of games without an off day and your team at the end of that stretch has to put several key players on the injured list or doesn't get players back that they're expecting for their starting rotation you are setting yourself up for a really rough stretch all teams go through them schedule turns against everybody at some point and you go oh this this is going to be a rough week week and a half coming up here no off days we're already beat we're already battered we're not playing great this is going to be maybe the toughest week of the season and when you look go go back a little over a week as they're going into that last game in philly before the homestand they're beat up they're getting hurt they're getting more injured there's no off days they've got to come home to face a first place milwaukee brewer's team a red hot washington national steam that it won 11 of 15 you go this is going to be a disastrous week for the pod race this could be one of those one and six homestands that that really puts them behind the eight ball for the rest of the season that's what a logical team that's what makes sense the pod race don't make sense they go out and with all of those things working against them have their best home stand of the year by far and go six and one make it make sense i don't i don't know i don't know why they did it i'll take that any day of the week and and again i i love being proved wrong i loved make you i love being made to feel like i was clutching my pearls for no reason i love that good more of it because that means that they're winning baseball games but you know to to be a realist and look at at what they were facing again you have to give a ton of credit to those guys and and guys stepping up i mean guys stepping up freaking solanos hit you know yesterday was or day before yesterday was phenomenal jackson maryll's hit the other night in the comeback was phenomenal uh many michado's home run all of these things man guys are playing banged up their beat to hell and they're going out in their winning baseball games six and one on a on a homestead many it doesn't get much better than that beat left-handed starting pitchers each of the last three days correct something of course the padre's i had not been doing and i'll say there is some logic behind that and the reason i think that the padre's have gotten a little more success against left-handed starting pitchers is is not that hard to find many michado's numbers against lefties have jumped up significantly over the last month they've gotten kyle hagash yokas break out month of the season almost all of that damage of course coming against left-handed starting pitching is a right-hander and in the last couple of days you bring up eggy rosario who uh you know for his uh strengths and weaknesses hits well and hits for extra bases against left-handed pitching had a double yesterday that led to the two run rally uh i think i think almost all of his hits this year still extra base hits against left-handed pitching crazy three home runs against left-handed pitching add him back to the mix and the concerns the um the poor performance against lefty starters maybe not gone entirely but you definitely have mitigated some of the issues that you're facing just based on a couple of those small changes and better performances alone well that and and the home record was so putrid uh they were just playing terribly at home now they're playing fantastically at home and now you go back on the road where you had a really really rough road trip the last time i'll be it against some good teams but um you know now you look at it with with boston in texas i mean a couple of teams with some horses i mean some really really good players and you're talking about the defending world series champion trying to make it make sense again yeah it doesn't doesn't make sense it doesn't make sense i don't know i this this road trip i look at it and i'm not going to be shocked one day at a time buddy that's six and oh they can go oh and six we got to get me this time we got to get back to the mentality i know you're thinking it so why don't we just say it out loud when louise campusano comes back from the injury list do the potways have a catching controversy on their hand it's all of a sudden no uh controversy would require two catchers to be playing well i mean kyla goshyoka has has absolutely earned five starts a week right now hundred percent i mean if he's doing it with the bat he's doing it with his arm uh he's the only guy that can catch Waldron you know and i obviously got off to a really slow start here but he was also catching Waldron which is a gnarly assignment as we talked about you guys never caught a knuckle ball before hey by the way welcome to the new city the new team uh you're in one of the biggest uh trades of all time uh we need you to catch our our burgeoning knuckle baller oh cool also by the way you can't use the big floppy mint you got to use a regular mint because y'all throw also throws a fastball and a sweeper and a slider too so that sound good you're gonna get about four abs a week need you to make the most of that opportunity right i mean and then when he has gotten his opportunity lately he hasn't missed and i think defensively been the ability to throw out bass runners is is not something that we saw with campusano at all i'm not ready to give up on louise campusano but i i do feel like he's got to kind of earn his way back in i'm not i'm not saying a full wallie pimp here has gone on with with campy and hagashyoka because hagashyoka is on a run right now you're going to milk that thing for as long as you can um but yeah i don't know that there's a controversy but yeah the thing about catching is both guys are going to get plenty of of time now and i think kyle has certainly earned some more well we'll talk about it uh let's get the highlights thing six runs batted in for one kyle hagashyoka yesterday our potrays wrap up coming up right after this check of traffic on 97.3 the fam i love winning man i love i love 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 potrays win yesterday bannin woods didn't what i proved we've catch you covered with all of the highlights i like it with the podrays wait yeah yeah it's the podrays 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 yeah give me a due damage it would look nothing the same as this one is launched down the left field line fair a home run second balcony western metal which has sort of become the hagashyoka zone a two run shot and a two nothing pudrey leave johnson squares to blunt takes high goes to the backstop eggy charging home hill sport bro for millis ended up hitting rosario as he slid into home plate looks like he's all right and the podrays on a wild pitch hat on it's three to nothing here's the one and oh pro far hard hit up the middle and the left center in a base head he got the yokeable coming in score i'm out some more for georgson pro far an rbi single and now four to nothing pod relief again the one two pitch swung on a missed right three he's got it right now seven eight and nine hit on one two three top of the sixth inning here's the pitch and that's it in the year to deep left field did he do it again oh boy did he third balcony western metal and the podrays have gone slam the ego against the next three one thomas wanks it's a part of the ground beyond the dive over rosario and down the left field line young gonna score easily nunez very fast on his way he'll score as well it's a two run double for lane thomas and now an eight to two game here in the top of the ninth inning more at home delivers and a breaking ball hit in the air down the right field line that's a fair ball gonna go all the way to the corner thomas on his way home and s is being waved behind him the throw comes into croninworth no relay to the plate it's a two run double for the second time here in the ninth inning and all of a sudden eight to four san diego still only one out herald remira is the batter right handed hitter chops one to the right side long way to go croninworth can't make the play it's into right field darcy around in thirties gonna score and it's eight to five here in the ninth inning so one out of three the only guy where they hit before this inning swings to the first pitch grounds it to short kim's got it beat the second one on the first in time double play and the ball game is over now they wanted to make you sweat a little bit at the end but all's well that ends well i'm very sweet the nationals and finish the six and one homestead as they get ready to hit the road we're really strong homestrend you know really really nice job whole homestand obviously we're gonna get all three on this in this series so yeah it's a great game really professional game across the board you know doing really set the tones this did a lot of good things that create a lot of good clean baseball you know dealing with fantastic for his seven through multiple pitches for strikes introduced a little bit more to curveball which was nice to see mixed in a change up got few outs on the change up few rollovers threw in a little bit more so that was good um just in control and of course the offense you know what you gonna say about heggy anyway today i love a good home strand i really do i love a home strand maybe we should send him some tacos from home straight home straight home straight home state home state yeah to celebrate the home strand what a really strong home strand yeah it was very strong might sorry like that's what we do here on this program don't take it personally you probably will well dylan cease was uh was terrific he turned out the previous start which he uh he showed some signs of throwing better yeah and then got knocked out in the fifth inning on a on a bunch of yeah weak hits and and not you know not a ton of hard contact did carry over and uh he had one of his classic dylan cease efforts uh which allowed the pod raise to you know take advantage of kyle he got she yoke his offense build that eight nothing lead and yes it got a little too nervous in the in the ninth inning i i will be honest i had um i was at work i was not i was barely even paying attention once it got to the ninth inning and the moment i saw oh wait hold on is that six eight five it was already hidden into the double play it in the game so i never really you didn't have had the chance to panic it was over before i really got into full panic mode here comes of time runs in the you know you know on deck what what's going on here oh robert sores is up again but they did as jesse said nipped it in the bud right right before it got this truly truly uh oh here we go again time i do like the phrase all's well that ends well yeah hundred percent you you know they're they're gonna they're gonna try to get some knocks off of a not great pitcher right now tom cuzgrove and they did and credit to them for getting five runs you know it's not something you want to see i i was in the same boat benny as soon as hickey hit the grand slam my son had been asked me to throw in grounders in the street and i said all right let me just let me get you know there's four nothing at the time and i'm like all right let's make sure we get this thing in in order hickey hits the grand slam go get your shoes on and we go out to the street and i just happen to pick up my phone i was gonna put some music on

base ball with 28 has thrown 36 innings i manual classe so good 0.70 area for the cleveland guardians he's throwing 38 innings so five more innings than robert sores even josh hater who has not had a great season with the houston astros has thrown 35 and two-thirds innings more than robert sores now there's other closers that are around 29 28 so uh sores has definitely thrown more than some of the other guys but yeah his usage doesn't stand out in the crowd among top closers in major league baseball this year it's right right in line with where it should be at this point and again i don't watch
