We all belong outside. We're drawn to nature, whether it's the recorded sounds of the ocean we doze off to, or the succulents that adorn our homes. Nature makes all of our lives, well, better. Despite all this, we often go about our busy lives removed from it. But the outdoors is closer than we realize. With all trails, you can discover trails nearby and explore confidently.

Don't forget, you can tune in every Thursday at 10 a.m. That is a T5 hours from now. For 97-3, the fans commercial free pod praise roundtable featuring Venom Woods, Annie and Elston, Gwyn and Chris presented by San Diego roundtable pizza for takeout or delivery. Go to roundtablepizza.com roundtable, the last honest pizza. Steve Sugimoto should have been here tomorrow. He could have enjoyed plenty of free pizza. We always have leftovers on Thursdays at the roundtable. Yeah, we don't actually get to eat it. We just get to smell it and look at it. Any thoughts on the question that I posed in the last hour that's going to be a roundtable question? What, if any, contract extension offer do you make to keep jerks and pro far in a Padres uniform? I saw 20 years, two and a half billion dollars in the YouTube chat. It's probably not your money. It's still money. They have any money. I love that Eric Cosmer, by the way, is tweeting. Time to start extending pro far. Yeah, it'd be great if we didn't have to pay you $13 million to podcast. Jesus Christ almighty. Really? Give him your 13. We could keep it. It's done. We could really use that. Dunneal. One year Eric Cosmer's 13 million dollars is these should not twee man. It's in pro far in 2025. Well, that's like robbing a bank and then just going out years later constantly posting about how you robbed a bank. Yeah, it's insane. Let me just lay low. Stop talking about it. Yeah, just stop tweeting. You want to cover eventually based on, go cover other teams that aren't paying you right now. We got it here. Man, God bless. Drove me nuts. Time to start talking about extending juris pro far. You took all of our money and you don't play to all of it. I guess the real dilemma here is that the Padres do have financial constraints. They're real. They've been dealing with them all year long and you don't want to overpay for jerks and pro far. And then if you're jerks and pro far, you're like, bro, you should be paying 30. Right. I'm putting up 20 million dollars a year. I mean, I saw the mid season ESPNs like MVP is top. I think it's seventh in the MVP validating basically at the middle of the year. That's a 20 to 25 million dollar guy. So of course he's going to want his money. But what are jerks and alternatives? Go play another season for the Rockies. Right. He doesn't want to go anywhere. And the Padres also know this. So they kind of both have each other over the barrel, jerks and can't leave, but the Padres can't let jerks and leave either. So where do you end up financially when those are your, those are kind of your parameters going into any negotiation again, man. There's such a mutual, there's such a mutual thing here between the two. I cannot in good conscience get on here and say the jerks and pro far should give San Diego a hometown discount or anything like that. No, jerks and pro far should get his money. He's got a family. He's freaking earned it and is earning it every single night. But let's say the scenario of two years ago presents itself again. Right. For you could stick around for seven million or you get eight from somewhere else. You stay for seven. You stay for seven just like we're not moving the Cincinnati for a little bit more than we're making now. We're just not. It's just not going to happen. You know, they, they know that too. So there is a bit of a San Diego discount. It's, it's, it's more of like, I'm, I'm play really well here. It's not even a San Diego discount. It's, it's just, I play well here. I fit in. I'm a best fit. It's a best fit for me personally, for my family like, I don't, he doesn't want to, he doesn't, but he needs to, if there is an extension offer, maybe he needs to feel that it is fair and not, well, look what happened the last time you went for the box. You, you were miserable. It's got to feel like, you know what? Yeah, this is, this is good for all parties. Spencer wants to know, are there constraints? Once the CBT resets, if they don't go over it this year? Well, we don't know. We don't know. We do know. We do know that the, the, you know, the debt service thing that MLB was pressuring the Padres on is real. So there is some constraints there. They can go over the CBT next year without quite as many financial and draft penalties, but then you start, you know, they start accruing again if you do it. So it's never something you can't think about. Even the Mets, even though they go over it all the time, they still have to think about where their level is at and what the penalties are, because there's draft, there's international signing penalties. You know, they want to go after Rokie Sasaki. They want every dollar available to do that. And you can't be going over the CBT if you want the ability to do that. Is it Rokie Sasaki, a huge sensation, Steve Sugamoto in Japan, is that, is that I heard he's been hurt the last couple of starts, but I would like to see him in a Padres uniform next year. He's a, he's a household name for sure. Not in a Dodgers uniform. So, he's definitely someone to keep an eye on this offseason. All right, we'll get back to the Padres jerks and talking to second right now. Paul, he's got some headlines with our round of report. And get things started here with our addition today's edition of the Rindel Report. Now, tune into the Muff. Great. Welcome to the Rindel Report with Paul Rindel. Hi, Paul. All right. Two stories from the world of sports that we haven't gotten to yet. We'll start off in major league baseball and one story that you didn't know you needed. Are you laughing beyond? It's the Rindel Report. Hey, Paul. How you doing? Okay. How are you? On 97.3, the fan. Are you ready to bless the mood? I need some help please. That was good. Can I get over here? All right. All right. All right. All right. Indeed. Paging basketball woods. Oh, he's here. Big night. Let's hear it. Big night tonight. Huge night tonight. Well, because of the NBA draft. Yes. Give me my music. Look at that. I need my music. It's at least the first half of the NBA draft. It's for the first time ever. It's going to be a two day, two round draft tonight's first round from the Barclay Center in Brooklyn at 5 p.m. on ABC 10 here in San Diego. Don't want to miss a single draft pick tonight, Woods. Me? Yeah. Pottery's around at 110. Yeah, it'll be long done with the Padres game. You can settle in nicely tonight. No distractions at home. Tell Hannah, I got to focus in on this three hour NBA first round of the draft. And we are doing a member stream tonight. Yes. Yes. That's what I'll be doing. Six o'clock. Six o'clock. Talking some NBA draft. Absolutely not. Stream. You talk NBA draft on a member stream. We're booting you off. Got a promise? I was going over some of the, you know, who's got the first pick and what. And I've already forgotten. So it's Adam's team has the hooks. The Atlanta Hawks. Select Bronti James on vacation. He went to the draft to get cheer his first overall pick of the draft. Hey, by the way, just as an aside, we're going to see him there with Adam Silver. Yeah, just they look like twins, by the way. Two ball riders heads even point here. It is, I think you put glasses on Adam Kluge, though, and it's very silly to be the commissioner. Could you imagine being on vacation this week of all weeks? Could you imagine? He's dying. He's dying inside, to know the viral content that's coming out of Petco Park this week. Yes. And he's like, he's like, this involves or something. Like, yeah, he's like, it's a hundred Georgia, and then we're going to Florida, and then it's Georgia, 104 degrees, you know, 90% humidity. And he's missing all of this. There's also a trade last night. Big one. A big trade as the Brooklyn Nets traded McCall Bridges to the New York Knicks. So he doesn't have to go too far. The Knicks GM, AJ Preller, sending five first round draft picks to the Nets for McCall Bridges. It's good. I mean, he's average 26 points a game. I wouldn't call him a five first round draft pick. Superstar by any stretch of the imagination, but hey, the Knicks got close last year and they think this can get us closer. So let's mortgage everything and bring in another Villanova player. Remember they had the three Villanova players? Now they have four Villanova players. Wow. Villanova East in New York City now. Where's Villanova? Villanova. That's right. Listen to this paragraph from Woj talking about the trade. He goes after teetering in the post Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving windows between pursuing the playoffs and the draft lottery. The Nets declared a direction and suddenly have 16 first round picks available through 2031. Good God. They're going to be great in 2033. My beloved Joe time maybe move them here so we can enjoy the fruits later later. Yeah, let the what the Knicks have New York. Come on out of here. Maybe I go build an arena. Let's do it. All right, we'll switch over to football ish. Benny, you mentioned this earlier. I'm still trying to catch up on this story here. The Chiefs will be making a hallmark Christmas movie this year. Now it's not actually, I don't know how many players are actually going to be in the movie. They are going to be producing them, you know, starting with. Oh my God, he's going to be in the manger. He's going to be in the manger as baby Jesus. It says the Chiefs and Hallmarading with the NFL and Skydance sports make a holiday movie. Tyler Hines, Hunter King and Ed Begley Jr. will star in the movie. It's called holiday touchdown. A Chiefs love story. Taylor Swift title of a song. Oh, is that a title of a song? Love story. Oh, okay. I thought you said the Chiefs love story. It's a holiday touchdown. It's a holiday touchdown. Chiefs love story. A film is set to premiere in Hallmark. Hallmark channel this winter during their annual countdown to Christmas that they do. And yeah, they're going to begin production next month in Kansas City and filming at Arrowhead Stadium. I have the plot summary here. Do you like play it on me? Here we go. Alana Higman is sure that her family's lifelong history is Kansas City Chief Super fans makes them a front runner to win the team's fan of the year contest so that her dad went and robbed banks. None of the guys of what was the name of that guy? Oh, God, super cheap. Oh, yeah. That's right. Derek Hines director of fan engagement is tasked with evaluating how Alana and her family stack up against the other two finalists. As the pair spends time together, it's clear there's a spark between them. But when her grandfather, played by Ed Begley Jr.'s vintage Chiefs good luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny, and even questions her future with Derek. Unless that is a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary. She's a holic. She's a holic. She's a holic. Then her dad, she's a holic. Not only stole the hat. Not only stole the hat, but robbed several banks across the country. And his lawyer was unbelievable in his courtroom steps news conference. They're doing a crit. They've had 14 arrests this off season. They're doing a Christmas movie just adding more as they go for it. Yeah, three more distractions. Three feet. I'd be like, you know what? Anything else you guys want to do while you're here? Maybe start side businesses. We'll do hard knocks. We'll do the NC's and hard knocks as well. That is unreal. Unreal. Unreal. Yeah. That sounds terrible. That's mostly terrible. This one now. I'm glad we have Steve Sugimoto here. Stevie, what is your flight? What does it look like? You fly out of LAX to Tokyo. I usually go San Diego San Francisco first and then to Tokyo. Okay. About how much total time in the air is that combined? Probably like 13 hours. Okay. All right. It's actually not too bad, but there's a new trend going around. It's mostly men doing this and they are raw dogging on their flights. I saw this. This is one of the worst things I've ever seen. And it's maybe the toughest challenge a man can take. You've heard of the Iron Man triathlon. This is harder. That's not what you may be thinking when you hear that term. Right. Ben's eyes just lit up. Oh, yeah. We're all talking the mile high club a whole new meaning. Yeah. Yeah. So men are doing this on fairly long flights. This is insane. Three hours, six hours, 17 hour flights across the world. And this all started back in May when a 26 year old man from London posted about his decision to forgo any and all in flight entertainment, any flight services, no beverages, no snacks, no meals. All he did was stare at the flight radar map on the seat in front of him. He raw dogged the flight. I could do that. I think I could. I could just stare at the map the entire time and watch it as it slowly progresses from water. No water. No matter what. Snacks of nothing. I could do it. You just sit there. You are like ed gained. I could do that. I could do that. There's no way. I mean, it wouldn't be fun, but you know, I'd miss the snacks, but I could get through it. How I could go here to DFW, which is about a two and a half hour. I could do it for two and a half. I could sit now. You can't sleep either. Now, if you could let me sleep, I'll raw dog you. You're not here to pay away. Stay awake. Stay awake and just stare. I mean, these men are posting photos and they are just sitting upright, just staring right at the flight the flight radar on the seat back in front of them. No nothing. No magazine and they're just no phone playing blackjack on your phone. Nothing. Nothing. No news. 14 hour flight to Afghanistan. Yeah. Those military flights with no entertainment, they're sitting like sideways in the back of the door, by the way, now the back of a cargo plane or something. Now that that sounds miserable. The guy that went viral and kind of started this, he said he calls raw dogging his flights compared to meditation. Visually, you're kind of impaired. You only get to look at the seat in front of you to your right or left if you're at the window. All you hear is the drumming sound of the engine. It's just white noise. I'm going to raw dog the rest of the show. Like the darkness retreat. What's this? I'm going to raw dog the rest of the show. No music. I mean, I think you and I can continue to talk, Paulie, and Woods is just going to focus in on the buttery, smooth sound of my voice for the next 45 minutes. It's almost a meditative trance that he's in. He'll be a better person for it at the end. Listening to my sultry, sultry tones. I do think that I don't know if I could do like all the way to Asia, but maybe across the country, five hours staring at the map. It's too much. No way. I think I can do it much. I can't do it. No. What are you really missing? The food is terrible. The entertainment's usually terrible. No, but you bring your own. Obviously you bring your own snacks. You bring your own entertainment. I download movies. I listen to music. Oh, there's a new record I want to hear. I listen to that. Depends on how long the flight is. I'll download a couple episodes of something or a movie or whatever. People said I was making them very uncomfortable staring into the the camera. At least I said earlier in the chat, like people must have thought this guy was a terrorist. It would just it would be so unsettling. You're on an eight hour flight and there's somebody just sitting there. There's a sign. There's a sign felt about this putty putty does it on the flight and it drives you laying insane. She goes, can I get you want a magazine? He goes, no. She goes, so you don't want like a book or anything. He goes, no. So you're just going to sit there. He goes, yeah, I can't do this anymore. Bro, 100%. I would actually break up because yes, I would expect my wife to leave me if I raw dog. We're going to Hawaii in July. It's like six hours and two kids. Let us know how long you can go. Three minutes max. There's no chance. So freaking great. So great. Remember we interviewed him during the pandemic? That's right. Patrick Warburton. Patrick Warburton. I wonder how he's doing. Let's check it with him for summer break. We got Ben and Wood summer vacation coming up soon. See what he's up to. All right. Good job on the the Ronda report. If you want to join us, we got a couple segments left. 833-288-097-3. Talk more Padres baseball as they go for the sweep. They do have the one sweep of the Oakland A's. Can they get a second sweep today over the Washington Nationals? Got the final matchup? Look ahead to that coming up next after a check of traffic on 97-3 the fan. We all belong outside.

I wanted to offer a quick bit of thank you to our brave firefighters out there. Had a flashback to wildfire season yesterday. I was driving to work. What happened? Well, I was actually I was driving to work and I felt like I wanted to get coffee. So I ordered a coffee on the app and I got off at Delmar Heights yesterday. And right there, I mean, the smoke was absolutely billowing. The wildfire that broke out right there in the the Torrey Pines Auxiliary Reserve right above Torrey Pines State Beach near a ton of houses. They had to evacuate. They had, you know, the helicopters were flying around and the sirens were going all over the place. And it was that eerie like it to everything turns yellow when you go into the smoke on a sunny day, but then it's like clouds, but it's not it's smoke that's blocking everything out. And then Paulie told me that that it got it got to the point where people were actually like flying their own personal drones around the fire to get shots of it. But they are interfering with the aerial operations of the San Diego fire crews that we're trying to put it out. Yeah, no, don't do this. They're flying drones getting footage of the flames and you have firefighters, you know, the helicopters, the planes that drop anything that they can to help put out this fire. They can't do their job fully when there's drones flying around. You are literally putting lives at risks and I believe you can be prosecuted if they find out that you were the one flying a drone feels like any situation was like something Adam would make us do. Hey, there's a fire in Del Mar. Can you get your drone? We need the footage. Bro, there these guys are just just please. Can you can you make your way down there? No, please I'm begging you. So big, don't do this moment for anyone trying to fly drones interrupting with the firefighters. You also had your own don't do this moment yesterday. I mean, I, no good deed, my friend goes unpunished. You know, I did the all Venmo someone $69 if the pottery is when this game is a couple nights ago. And somebody, you know, people were dropping their Venmo's, right? And so somebody then took my Twitter profile picture, my name, but they changed it a little bit to @thestevenswoods. Very good. Created a Venmo a darn show. So they didn't, they didn't hack your event. No, my Venmo was not. They just made their Venmo look as much like yours is possible. No, look like my Twitter. So it doesn't even, my Venmo picture is completely different than my Twitter picture. So they took my Twitter to most, you know, my name and added a NAS. And then so I was getting DMs from people going, dude, is this real? Do you need $5? So they just went on your Twitter where everybody's Venmo handles, correct. And then they start seeing those Venmo handles and started requesting money from them $5. So I had to call Venmo support and talk to a Gus. What do they fell on hard times? Yeah. And I said, Hey, I tweeted like, don't worry about me. I've got hundreds of dollars to my name. I'm fine. All right. So don't send me $5. I don't need it. How's that? They requested $5. But then said they were giving you $25 for a sandwich. Yeah. Very well done, guys. Very, very well done. So I had to call Venmo support. He's like, he goes it. So it's not, they didn't hack your Venmo. They're impersonating you. And we will make sure that they don't do it again. But I just got another one. But I don't know if it came. Yes. Fritz just sent me one. Steven. I am hungry. Now what Steven Woods canceled a request for $5. Oh, so they must have gone in and fixed it. So sorry about that, everybody. I won't be asking for anybody's Venmo anymore. And it was not me asking you for for $5. I'm good. I'm actually not to say that at some point it won't come to them. Correct. Yeah. I've I've I've I've hit some parlays recently. We've had some bonuses. Everything's good. You know, everything's good. And financially here for for me. But you know, 15 years down the line, if someone's going, hey, you remember that men in woods show you used to enjoy? Yeah. I've hit some hard times. I need $5. If you've been told me five bucks, it might actually be you at that point. It could be. I mean, I'm not going to rule anything out. I've always said I'm not going to ask my audience for anything. You know, I'm not a listen, if it's charity or something, hey, share it. If you can't donate, whatever, but it's never going to be to benefit me financially. Does that make sense? Like even when we'd sell a t-shirt that goes into the show fund, like that's to buy stuff for the Christmas show and everything else. I'm not I'm not trying to profit. I'm always very careful. I didn't receive one of those requests. But had I gotten one, I would have said no. Yeah, we know. We know. And had it come from you, actually, I also would have said no, because I'm very careful about not sending any money. It was weird. I got anyone. I woke up this morning, too, and I had a I woke up this morning. The first text I saw was like some 903 number that said, you know, your car was like on the fast lane, the ECP or something. Fast track, the HOV lanes. And I woke up, it was like three o'clock in the morning, and I looked at my phone, I go, did I get in a wrong lane? Because I was driving like mad yesterday. I was up to Forest Ranch a couple of times. I'm like, is there a there's not there's no toll road up there? Yeah, no, if you use the HOV lane, but I did that can be a toll road as well. Okay, but I did not do that. So I knew this is a scam. I did click on it just for a second too late. And it said it said it was like for the Bay Area. And I was like, now this isn't they've already got you now. Whatever, it's fine. I'm gonna get much from someone's riding around California for free on your tab now. Find on me, whatever. And don't send me any money, please. I don't need it at this point. Might someday. All right, let's take a final timeout. When we come back, we'll look ahead at the series finale today at Petco Park. We got afternoon day baseball for you. Fireworks today. Couple of, yeah, it might be. I mean, there's no reason why there couldn't be. We got a couple collars online as well. Stay there. Final segment of Ben and Woods on the way next on San Diego's number one sports station. 97 three, the fan. Interesting note here on Jeremiah Strata. Welcome back. It's been a woods final segment here on a Wednesday. And clearly he is he's not the same pitcher who struck out 13 banners in a row earlier this season. But Kevin A.C. wrote in his newsletter this morning, he's still 15 pounds down from when he developed the flu-like symptoms earlier this month, June 11th. Right. Yeah, he's he's resumed to eating semi regularly, but still limited to just white rice and bread right now. So you can't even keep protein down. Really? He's available most nights. He wants to give everything that he's got. Obviously, he's been weakened by this illness that he's still kind of dealing with. So if he's not quite the perfect setup, man, hopefully he'll be able to get back to that as he continues to get a little bit healthier. Just when moving on, just when something starts going good, they're like, he's got a stomach eating virus. It loses 15. How do I get it? 15 pounds. You don't want that kind of weight loss. That's no. I was just I was looking at the thing. He was talking about how gnarly it's kind of been. And he said when he had code, he goes nowhere close to what I had when I had code. Well, he almost died. He almost died. Yeah. And he spent two weeks in the hospital. He said, yeah, I've spent like four hours throwing up. But I threw up for 24 hours when I had COVID. Yeah. I mean, the Vilo was up last night commands a little shaky right now. But man, that's tough. And I think the run, it was inherited run with Stephen Cola, which was unearned because of the not a great play by Louisa. Well, Louisa, I said to yeah, really bad plays when you're up by what was it? Five runs touch first before you try to get the double play. If you don't get the double play, fine. You got an out, get the sure out. You're broke six inches away from a sure out. Take the sure out first. Ask Paulie, my message to the tier one every Sunday is what? Collect out. Get the out. Always take a sure out. Everyone. Everyone loves the double play. Who doesn't love a good DP? Collecting out. This is adult league make a play. And that is the ninth thing. The game is literally over the ball is in his glove. You beat the it's it's over. It bounces out. All of a sudden the tying run is coming to the plate after the C.J. Abram single. And I mean, you had to have the thought like, please lean Thomas, if you had a homerun here and this game is now tied again, it really would have been one of the most gut punching moments as a Padres fan. I can even remember legit would have thought about calling in sick legit would have said I've been throwing up. I mean, obviously, I would have walked it off in the bottom. Anyway, clearly, but I didn't need that kind of drama. I had plenty of drama last night. This is a great. This is a great quote, man from from Jeremiah says, my mindset is winners find a way to win. I want to do what I can to help the team. I've been doing my best. It's been a bumpy road. Had a couple adding some pitches been hit some pitches have been left up in the zone. Yeah, it's tough, man. He's he's trying to fight through it as is, you know, most of the guys on this team right now. So again, I tipped my hat to a lot of these guys out there grinding through some injury and got a little nervous last night on the miss the swinging the miss from Manny in a second AB, you know, kind of had to stop down for a minute and end up staying in the game, drawing a key walk later in the game too. But yeah, man, they're pretty banged up. So, you know, try to keep that in mind, I guess, before we go go ham on Twitter about, you know, bad outing or bad swing or something. I believe Bryce Johnson had the bunch single ahead of the jerks and pro far grandslam. Was that his first single since I joined the San Diego Padres? Yeah, is that his first big league hit? No, no, no, he had he had a home run. Oh, he did. Yeah, he played a few weeks in the big leagues for whatever his previous organization was. So far, I mean, the Padres have won both the games that he's been in the starting lineup, but it does feel like you're kind of got more at bats that you're now giving away at the bottom of the order with Tetis gone. At some point, that's going to hurt you, right? Yeah. And eggy, I guess, was was really working hard in the outfield yesterday. He's got to get in there. I mean, if he's matches left handed pitching, you're have another lefty on the bump today. Got to get eggy Rosario, some ABS. No question. Unquestionably needs to be in there today. All right. Let's check traffic. We've got some callers in the line. Final minutes. We'll look ahead to that matchup as well. I'll come it up here on 97-3, the fan. Also didn't really talk about the play where CJ Abrams, who's having a big series, got picked off essentially first base as he was just walking back to the bag. Very heads up though by Hassan Kim and Louisa Rice. Did you see little rise like just very discreetly try to tell. Throw me the ball and I don't know how the umpire missed that call. CJ Abrams was out his tag safe. And instantly CJ was basically walking back to the dugout like they're going to challenge this and I know I'm out. So might as well skip the whole process here and get back to the dugout. It's right on top of the play. There's another replay. How'd you miss? How'd you miss out? I think you took him by surprise. Yeah. I didn't see what ready. Oh, say just like Abrams wasn't ready. The umpire also wasn't ready. If you're Davey Martinez, you are so massively frustrated by that. Didn't you got picked off twice, didn't he? In the series? Yeah. I mean, that was a more traditional pick off. But I mean, look, it's it drives you nuts. We've had our fair share of bad base running on the San Diego Pottery's. They should be giving away outs in a game like that. It just can't happen. But a 3 3 2 8 8 0 97 3 final minutes. Let's get a couple more callers in today after this show. Jamie is calling us Jamie. Good morning. Welcome to 97 3, the fan. Good morning, gentlemen. How are you doing? This is umpire. How did he miss that call? Perfect timing and perfect timing. So I was calling about the ejection. But on that one quickly, when you're at the field, even in professional baseball, sometimes guys are talking to say, Hey, Jamie, or something, you're kind of quick looking. You're not expecting anything right there at that moment. Yeah, I'm always looking back. Heard the snap of the glove, looks back and he's like, Oh, snap. It's for today. You should really go and tag out. You cannot. And Jamie, I mean, as an umpire, you know, you've got a 50 50 chance of getting it right. You might as well guess Jamie lives his whole life that way. I didn't see it, but there's a chance. I go safe and he was safe and everyone's going, oh, yeah, I was a good cause close for the unfair. Got that right. It's like, I didn't see it at all, but it's coin flip. Yeah. It was close to get away with that. That was not close. But the ejection, the afternoon morning was issued. I agree with red food on this one. Once you issued that warning, you have to eject. Got to go because now you have, she'll come out. He gets ejected for arguing the fact he didn't do your job. He said this is going to happen. I'm protecting my players. When you usher that warning from umpire, you're protecting the players because that can go on all day and guys can get hurt. Now, if you throw them out and David Johnson comes out and argues, you can toss in because you did your job, did your job. So the umpires didn't misstep a little bit there. They should have thrown them out. But, you know, there's a lot of 40,000 people screaming out. You have an umpire whether you're right or wrong in every stadium. What's wrong with this one? His face though, I will say as much as I loathe the call, the panic on his face after it happened and he took his mask. Mackenzie Gore's panic. No, no, the umpires panic. When it hit profile, he'd after the injection, he was white. He was white as a ghost. He was like, and he kind of looked at one dugout. I kind of looked at the other one. He's like, oh God, what do I do? Again, I think he, I think they said on the broadcast, he was like, he's like a fill in from Triple A, like a young dude. And he's behind the dish and have had to make that call. I did have one slight empathetic moment for him going, oh my God, what do you do? I think the best course of action though, and believe me, I would, I swear to God, if the roles were reversed, I would say, I would come in here today and say, Dylan, see, he's had to go. He had to go. The umpire said there, I swear on my mother, I would tell you guys, God, I know you're upset, but he's got to go. I would defend you with my heart that it wasn't intentional, but I'd still agree. 100% but he does have to go 100% after the warning. It's it's it's it's and if you're a buzz the guy in the fourth inning, and you would have understood if it was a bad foot slider at like 83, and it bounced and hit him. Okay. All right. All right. All right. It's not a fastball. It was a 98 mile an hour. He threw it as hard as he could and it hit and it hit jerks in pro far easily, easily could have been targeted higher and he just yanked it a little bit too. Right. You don't know, you don't know. I mean, if I'm the pitcher, I'm going to certainly give the reaction like, oops, sorry. I mean, it didn't mean to do that. Maybe it was, oops, I meant to hit you in the back and I yanked it a little bit and I hit you in the ankle instead. Yeah. And I think if you're a, you know, a veteran umpire or a rookie umpire that's filling in from triple A, the best course of action is to do follow the rule that you just laid down. You just laid it down. Yeah. Davey Martinez is going to be mad as hell at you, but it's such an easy things to date. You saw me. I just warned you and them. Are you joking? You're actually out here. I don't care if it was intentional. It hit him. The letter of the law says he's got to go. I made the letter of the law. I made the law. I have to follow it to the letter. He's got to go. And I swear to God again, if Dylan C, if it happened today, I'd come in tomorrow and go, look, I get it. You're pissed. I'm pissed. But they had just worn Dylan C's. He hit CJ Abrams. He's got to go. So I don't, you know, I don't, I don't know if anything's going to spill over. Today I don't think it will. I honestly, the nationals are fighting for their lives right now. And the San Diego Padres want to complete this sweep. So I think it's probably squashed at this point. And I think the nationals, if, if, if I'm Davey Martinez, I almost say, hey, enough. Jesse Keibern, all you guys over. Like, how many times can we wake this, this giant, right? Let's not give them any extra motivation today. They've already, you know, beaten us handily. So let's just go out and try to get a ball game. Also, Dylan C's throws very, very hard. Eight miles an hour. Yeah. Not that the other guy doesn't. It's 991 and 94. So that's the match up today. 110 first pitch, 12 10 eco water. So Cal pre pre game show DJ hers, who is a left hander, third straight. And, you know, Padres have gotten wins in the first two. We'll take the mound for the Washington nationals. He is, he has got a, what's his year, a four and a half, one and one, 4.5, 1.33 whip. However, looking at his last few starts now in Colorado, his last time out, gave up a few runs, gave up for three earn, but the start before that against the Marlins, six innings, one hit, 13 strikeouts, no walks. So just a couple of starts ago, he had an outstanding performance. Two, two runs allowed in four and a third against the Braves the time before that. So he struck out 26 hitters in 18 innings, Ben. He's, he's their number 12 prospect. I believe he is a four pitch pitcher, mostly fastball change up and a little bit of cutter, a little bit of slider in there. So tops out, you know, 93, 94, nothing again, overpowering. But you'd hope that the, that that monkeys kind of off the potteries back as far as left hander goes, Mackenzie Northrow is much harder and has much better stuff than this kid. But, you know, we've seen guys like this, Flummox, the San Diego Padres all season. So hopefully go out and complete that sweep and play with that fire that you had last night. And let's, let's, no messing around. And don't let these guys back in it today. Dylan Cease, of course, has been scuffling lately. Now he showed signs of coming out of it in his last start and looked good in the first, I think, I think the four innings and then in the fifth against the Milwaukee Brewers, had that walk infield single, infield single inning where they kind of just dunked it around on him and ended up knocking him out of the game with the, the four run top of the fifth inning. So he, he hasn't been very efficient though. And, and obviously the potters would love to see Dylan Cease go six or seven. That'd be great. It's been a while since we've seen that out of him. So, see if he can build on some of the good things and not necessarily the bad things from his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers. Padres did win that game though, and I'll be going for the sweep this afternoon again at one 10 first pitch. Yeah, I mean, heavily favored in this game. You got your, your guy that, that had the potential to be your ace at the beginning of the season and Dylan Cease, Matt Waldron's clearly the ace of the staff right now, which nobody thought they would say, but they absolutely, he absolutely is. And he's earned it. And he's pitched his tail off. So Dylan needs to go out and complete this thing today. I wonder if Sullivan will get the start behind the play day game after the night game or if they'll try to go probably a gosh yoke against another lefty and squeeze one more day out of him going into an off day. He's the left handed switch, switch in or lefty. He's definitely can hit from the left side. But maybe you get him out later in the game, I'm not even sure. But Higashiyoka, I saw a stat yesterday, his, his isolated power, like this month, it's like fourth in baseball, you know, behind like guys like Aaron Judge. He has actually really been pounding the ball and, you know, gives you a dangerous weapon while he's hot there near the bottom of the lineup. And with, you know, Tatisa, you need as many weapons as you can get. And he's one of them right now. Who would have thought Kyle Higashiyoko, you would have been mentioned as a weapon, an offensive weapon for the Sandy. He has been this month guys have really stepped up. So we want to keep that, that train rolling right now. So we'll be back tomorrow morning to talk about it all. Four hours plus the extra hour for the round table tomorrow from 10 to 11. Looking forward to Annie and Elston coming up next, they'll have their own takes. Of course, Annie was in the, in the clubhouse after the game, we played some of that sound that you got with jerks and pro farm. Sure. She has other observations and, and anecdotes and sound for you coming up in their Padres deep dive as well. Pretty much our entire four hours were, were on that game. I'm imagining the next two until Sammy's pregame show will be more on last night's game and looking ahead to what they've got this afternoon. That was a fun one today, boy. It was a good one. Yes. I know a lot of people were anticipating this morning show. I hope we lived up to everybody's expectations. Always makes me nervous when I see those. Oh, can't wait for better. Oh, God, we better deliver. We need nine more hours. Oh, no, it was pretty easy to get up this morning. It was very scary. That's for sure. Uh, Steve Sigamoto. Thank you for coming in. Keep the street going at the game this afternoon before you go to your rehab for Paul Reindel for Stephen Woods. I'm Ben Higgins. Have a great rest of your Wednesday from all of us here at San Diego's number one sports station, 97 three the fans. So long everybody. Interesting note here on Jeremiah Strata. Welcome back. It's been a woods final segment here on a Wednesday and clearly he is, he's not the same pitcher who struck out 13 banners in a row earlier this season. Uh, but Kevin Ainsie wrote in his newsletter this morning. He's still 15 pounds down from when he developed the flu-like symptoms earlier this month, June 11th. Right. Yeah. He's, uh, he's resumed to eating semi regularly, but still limited to just white rice and bread right now. So he can't even keep protein down. Really? He's, he's available most nights. He wants to give everything that he's got. Obviously he's been weakened by this illness that he's still kind of dealing with. So if he's not quite the perfect setup man, uh, hopefully he'll be able to get back to that as he continues to get a little bit healthier. Just when moving on, just when something starts going good. They're like, he's got a stomach eating virus. It loses 15. How do I get it? 15 pounds. You don't want that kind of weight loss. That's no fault. Yeah. I was just, I was looking at the, the thing he was talking about how gnarly it's kind of been. And he said, when he had code, he just is nowhere close to what I had when I had code. He almost died. He almost died. Yeah. And, uh, he spent two weeks in the hospital. He said, yeah, I've spent like four hours throwing up, but I threw up for 24 hours when I had COVID. Yeah. I mean, the velo was up last night commands a little shaky right now, but man, that's tough. And, uh, and I think the run, it was inherited run that Stephen Cola, which was unearned because of the, uh, not a great play by Louisa. We'll, Louisa, I said two. Yeah. Really bad plays when you're up by, what was it? Five runs. Touch first before you try to get the double play. If you don't get the double play, fine. You got an out, get the sure out your six inches away from a sure out. Take the sure out first. Ask Pauli my message to the tier one every Sunday is what? Collect out. Get the out. Always take a sure out. Everyone loves the double play. Who doesn't love a good DP? Collecting out. This is adult league make a play. And then as the ninth thing, the game is literally over the ball is in his glove. You beat the, it's, it's over. It bounces out. All of a sudden the tying run is coming to the plate after the CJ Abrams single. And I mean, you had to have the thought like, please lean, Thomas, if you had a home run here and this game is now tied again, it really would have been one of the most gut punching moments as a pod race fan. I can even remember legit would have thought about calling in sick legit would have said I've been throwing up. I mean, I've walked it off in the bottom. Anyway, clearly, but I didn't need that kind of drama. I had plenty of drama last night. It's a great, this is a great quote man from, from Jeremiah says, my mindset is winners find a way to win. I want to do what I can to help the team. I've been doing my best. It's been a bumpy road. I had a couple of outings. Some pitches have been hit. Some pitches have been left up in the zone. Yeah, it's tough, man. He's, he's trying to fight through it as is, you know, most of the guys on this team right now. So again, I tip my hat to a lot of these guys out there grinding through some injury and got a little nervous last night on the miss, the swing and the miss from Manny and his second AB, you know, kind of had to stop down for a minute and end up staying in the game, drawing a key walk later in the, in the game too. But yeah, man, they're, they're pretty banged up. So, you know, try to keep that in mind, I guess before we go, go ham on Twitter about, you know, bad outing or a bad swing or something. I believe Bryce Johnson had the bunt single ahead of the jerks and pro far against land. Was that his first single since I joined the San Diego Padres? Yeah. Is that his first big league hit? No, no, no, he had, he had a home run. Oh, he did? Yeah, he played a few weeks in the big leagues for whatever his previous organization was. So far, I mean, the Padres have won both the games that he's been in the starting lineup, but it does feel like you're kind of got more at bats that you're now giving away at the bottom of the order with Tetista. And at some point, that's going to hurt you, right? Yeah. And and eggy, I guess, was, was really working hard in the outfield yesterday. He's got to get in there. I mean, if he's mashed his left handed pitching, you have another lefty on the bump today. Got to get eggy Rosario, some ABs. No question. Unquestionably needs to be in there today. All right. Let's check traffic. We got some callers in the line. Final minutes. We'll look ahead to that matchup as well. I'll come it up here at 97 through the fan. Also didn't really talk about the, the play where CJ Abrams, who's having a big series, got picked off essentially first base as he was just walking back to the bag. Very heads up, though, by Hassan Kim and Luis Ariz. Did you see little rise, like just very discreetly, try to tell, throw me the ball, then I don't know how the umpire missed that call. CJ Abrams out is tagged safe. And instantly, CJ was basically walking back to the dog. I like, they're going to challenge this. And I know I'm out. So might as well skip the whole process here and get back to the dugout. It's right on top of the play. There's another replay. How'd you miss how you miss out? I think you took a bunch of prize. I didn't see when I'm ready. He was, oh, say, just like Abrams wasn't ready. The umpire also wasn't ready. If you're Davey Martinez, you are so massively frustrated by that. Didn't he? You got picked off twice, didn't he? Uh, in the series? Yeah. I mean, that was a more traditional pick off, but I mean, look, it's, it's, it drives you nuts. We've had our fair share of bad base running on the San Diego Padres. This should be given away outs in a game like that. It just can't happen. But eight, three, three, two, eight, zero, ninety seven, three final minutes. Let's get a couple more callers in today after this, this show. Jamie is calling us Jamie. Good morning. Welcome to 97 three, the fan. Good morning, gentlemen. How are you doing? This is umpire. How did he miss that call? Perfect timing. So I was calling about the ejection, but on that one quickly, when you're at the field, even in professional baseball, sometimes guys are talking to you. I'll say, hey, Jamie or something, just kind of quick look and you're not expecting anything right there at that moment. Yeah. I'm always looking back. Here's a snap of the glove. Looks back and he's like, oh, snap. It's okay. You should be able to take out. You cannot. And Jamie, I mean, as an umpire, you know, you've got a 50 50 chance of getting it right. You might as well guess. Jamie lives his whole life that way. I didn't see it, but there's a chance I go safe and he was safe and everyone's going, oh, yeah, I was a good coach close for the unfair. I got that right. It's like, I didn't see it at all, but it's going flip flip flip. Yeah, it was close to get away with that. That was not close. But the ejection, the afternoon morning was issued. I agree with Red Food on this one. Once you issued that warning, you have to eject them. Gotta go. Because now you have, she'll come out. He gets ejected for arguing the fact you didn't do your job. You said this is going to happen. I'm protecting my players. When you usher that warning from umpire, you're protecting the players because that can go on all day and guys can get hurt. Now, if you throw them out and baby Jonathan comes out and argues, you can toss in because you did your job. So the umpires didn't misstep a little bit there. They should have thrown him out. But you know, there's a lot of 40,000 people screaming out, you have the umpire, whether you're right or wrong in every stadium. What's wrong with this one? His face, though, I will say, as much as I loathed the call, the panic on his face after it happened and he took his mask on. Mackenzie Gore's panic. No, no, the umpire's panic. When it hit profile, he'd after the ejection, he was white. He was white as a ghost. He was like, and he kind of looked at one dugout, kind of looked at the other one. He's like, oh God, what do I do? Again, I think he, I think they said on the broadcast, he was like, he's like a philit from AAA young dude. And he's behind the dish and have had to make that call. I did have one slight empathetic moment for him going, oh my God, what do you do? I think the best course of action, though, and believe me, I would, I swear to God, if the roles were reversed, I would say, I would come in here today and say, Dylan C's had to go. He had to go. The umpire said there, I swear on my mother, I would tell you guys, guys, I know you're upset, but he's got to go. I would defend you with my heart that it wasn't intentional, but I'd still agree. A hundred percent. But he does have to go 100% after the warning. It's it's it's and if you're, I mean, it was the guy on the fourth inning and you would have understood if it was a back foot slider at like 83 and it bounced and hit him. Okay. All right. All right. It's not a fastball. It was a 98 mile an hour. He threw it as hard as he could and it hit and it hit jerks in pro far easily, easily could have been targeted higher and he just yanked it a little bit too. Right. You don't know. You don't know. I mean, if I'm the pitcher, I'm going to certainly give the reaction like, oops, sorry. I mean, it didn't mean to do that. No way. Maybe it was, oops, I meant to hit you in the back and I yanked it a little bit and I hit you in the ankle instead. Yeah. And I think if you're a, you know, a veteran umpire or a rookie umpire that's filling in from AAA, the best course of action is to do follow the rule that you just laid down. You just laid it down. Yeah, Davey Martinez is going to be mad as hell at you, but it's such an easy thing to date. You saw me. I just warned you and them. Are you joking? You're actually out here. I don't care if it was intentional. It hit him. The letter of the law says he's got to go. I made the letter of the law. I made the law. I have to follow it to the letter. He's got to go. And I swear to God again, if Dylan C, if it happened today, I'd come in tomorrow and go, look, I get it. You're pissed. I'm pissed. But they had just worn Dylan C's. He hit CJ Abrams. He's got to go. So I don't, you know, I don't, I don't know if anything's going to spill over today. I don't think it will. I honestly, the nationals are fighting for their lives right now. And the San Diego Pottery's want to complete this sweep. So I think it's probably squashed at this point. And I think the nationals, if, if I'm Davey Martinez, I almost say, Hey, enough, Jesse, Keebert, all you guys over. Like, how many times can we wake this, this giant, right? Let's not give them any extra motivation today. They've already, you know, beaten us handily. So let's just go on and try to get a ball game. Also, Dylan C's throws very, very hard. Eight miles an hour. Yeah, not that the other guy doesn't. It's 991 and 94. So that's the matchup today. 110 first pitch, 12, 10 eco water. So Cal pre pre game show. DJ hers, who is a left hander, third straight and you know, potteries have gotten wins in the first two will take the mound for the Washington nationals. He is, he has got a, what's his area, four and a half, one and one, 4.5, 1.33 whip. However, looking at his last few starts now in Colorado, his last time out, gave up a few runs, gave up for three earn, but the start before that against the Marlins, six innings, one hit, 13 strikeouts, no walks. So just a couple of starts ago, he had an outstanding performance. Two, two runs allowed in four and a third against the Braves, the time before that. So he's struck out 26 hitters in 18 innings, Ben. He's, he's their number 12 prospect. I believe he is a four pitch pitcher, mostly fastball change up and a little bit of cutter, a little bit of slider in there. So tops out, you know, 93 94, nothing again, overpowering, but you'd hope that the that monkeys kind of off the potteries back as far as left hander goes McKenzie or throws much harder and has much better stuff than this kid. But, you know, we've seen guys like this flummox, the San Diego Padres all season. So hopefully go out and complete that sweep and play with that fire that you had last night. And let's, let's no messing around. And don't let these guys back in it today. Dylan Cease, of course, has been scuffling lately. Now he showed signs of coming out of it in his last start and look good in the first, I think, I think the four innings and then in the fifth against the Milwaukee Brewers had that walk infield single infield single inning where they kind of just dunked it around on him and ended up knocking him out of the game with the the four run top of the fifth inning. So he hasn't been very efficient though. And obviously the potteries would love to see Dylan Cease go six or seven. That'd be great. It's been a while since we've seen that out of him. So see if he can build on some of the good things and not necessarily the bad things from his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers. Padres did win that game though. And I will be going for the sweep this afternoon again at 1 10 first pitch. Yeah. I mean, heavily favored in this game. You got your, your guy that had the potential to be your ace at the beginning of the season and Dylan Cease, Matt Waldern is clearly the ace of the staff right now, which nobody thought they would say. But they absolutely, he absolutely is and he's earned it. Man, he's pitched his tail off. So Dylan needs to go out and complete this thing today. I wonder if Sullivan will get the start behind the play day game after the night game or if they'll try to go probably Hagashioka against another lefty and squeeze one more day out of him going into an off-text. He's left-handed. He's definitely can hit from the left side. But maybe you get him out later in the game. I'm not even sure. But Hagashioka, I saw a stat yesterday, his, his isolated power like this month, it's like fourth in baseball. You know, behind like guys like Aaron Judge, he has actually really been pounding the ball and you know, gives you a dangerous weapon while he's hot there near the bottom of the lineup. And with, you know, Katis out, you need as many weapons as you can get. And he's one of them right now. Who would have thought Kyle Hagashioka would have been mentioned as a weapon, an offensive weapon for the sandy. He has been this month. Guys have really stepped up. So we want to keep that, that train rolling right now. So we'll be back tomorrow morning to talk about it all. Four hours plus the extra hour for the round table tomorrow from 10 to 11. Looking forward to Annie and all student coming up next, they'll have their own takes. Of course, Annie was in the, in the clubhouse after the game, we played some of that sound that she got with jerks and pro farm. Sure. She has other observations and, and, and anecdotes and sound for you coming up in their Padres deep dive as well. Pretty much our entire four hours were on that game. I'm imagining the next two until Sammy's pregame show will be more on last night's game and looking ahead to what they've got this afternoon. That was a fun one today, boy. It was a good one. Yeah, I don't know. A lot of people were anticipating this morning show. I hope we lived up to everybody's expectations. Always makes me nervous when I see those. Oh, can't wait for better. Oh, God, we better deliver. We need nine more hours. No, it was pretty easy to get up this morning. It was good. That's for sure. Steve Sigamoto. Thank you for coming in.
