Nothing is more important than getting a good night's sleep, and when you don't get the rest you need, your whole day is thrown off. That's why it's so important to choose the right mattress. Sleeping on a purple mattress is truly a unique experience, because purple mattresses are made with a gel flex grid. The gel flex grid is an innovative material that moves with your body to relieve pressure in areas like knees and hips, and support in others like you're back. It feels soft where you want it and supports where you need it. Purple mattresses instantly adapt when you move. You don't sink in and get stuck like with memory foam, and thanks to over 1,400 air chambers in the gel flex grid, you will sleep cooler on a purple mattress. Purple has a wide variety of mattresses from the original purple mattress to the Restore Hybrid Collection that combines gel flex grid with coils and the Rejuvenate Lux Collection, the height of luxury, with over 112,000 five-star reviews to prove it.

Last night, he's not a jukebox hero. He is a $1 million a year hero for the San Diego Padres. Thank you, jerks and pro for it. He is a batter's box hero. He is a batter's box hero. He is a Washington Nationals target. Give me one real quick. Hang on. Yeah, that's what I needed. I told Paulie this morning I'm in desperate need of primal scream therapy. Summer is off to a rough start in the woods household. This is hard, lots of juggle. Want to go to those rage rooms? Oh, more than anything. Oh, God. I've done that. You have a fun. It was made for me, man. It was made for I just saw stars, by the way, I'd scream so loud. I'm seeing stars right now. Great to be here with you guys. Ben Woods, 97-3, the fan, nothing like completely turning your vocal cords into hamburger meat at 602. You know, on the heels are at the very beginning of a four hour set. And that's what I just did. But you can't cheer when the actual, you know, winning run happens because everyone in your house is asleep. Yeah, for hours, for hours they were asleep. And I was, it was one of those where I hopped out of bed and went, it was incredible, incredible, incredible win. Oh, you sons of, you guys make me insane, man. You're going to kill this entire city. But hopefully you guys stayed up for it last night. If not, you know what, I really don't blame you. I damn near turned it off after the home run too and went to bed. But I just wanted to see what these San Diego Padres would do. And boy, did they, did they deliver? I'm just, I'm in awe of that, that win last night. And we'll talk about it. We'll talk about all the good, the bad, the ugly, all the stuff that happened pregame and all that. But holy smokes. Let me introduce the show. I'm Woodsy. That's Paul Rinder. He's the executive producer. Good morning, Paulie. Good morning. We have not gotten into yet. I let you off the hook yesterday. Your world's colliding with Taylor Swift, who you love, and Dave Grohl, who you love as well. And their factions of fans warring in social media. Yes, it was insane. I spent, oh, I'll make it real quick. I think it's all stupid. Okay, fine. It's all really stupid. Okay, both sides, both fans. All right. All right. Because I stupid. I don't understand it. I don't know why it's happening. I don't either get it. And I thought to myself when it happened, I went, Oh, this, this is like, uh, I mean, this is like a Greek tragedy, right? It's like, man, I love her, but I love him. And this is, this is very, very difficult. I've been looking at me like he has no idea what I'm talking. No, I didn't, uh, Dave Grohl say something about Taylor Swift, not performing everything live using backing tracks, backing tracks and not a hundred percent live during her four hour concerts, which Dave, by the way, not that uncommon for a pop artist. It's just not, it's just an, I don't know why you would get upset by that. No, on Dave said, we do a four hour concert every morning and we're pretty much entirely live. I would love to hire four hours, a backing track for as much as we could, just us in the background talking. If you need a breather, you've got one, take a breath, whatever, but I let Paul me off the hook yesterday. I was driving away. Damn it. How did I forget to ask him about this? Ben Higgins, your friendly neighborhood sports anchor and pop culture guru yesterday learned about Hock Toa. And that was a lot of fun on the program. It's good to have you. Good morning. Or is that my backing track? I loved it. I loved it. I loved it. I loved every second of, uh, of that victory last night. Not every second. Every second of the victory. Well, yeah. When it was over. Yeah. There was a period from three nothing to my soul. Three six. That wasn't exactly the most enjoyable part of the season. It's like we've said now several times over the last what 10 days, walkoffs feel pretty damn good in the moment when they happen, but walkoffs genuine generally aren't usually a great thing. It means you're down, man. It means you're down. There's the rare exception like, Hey, we just didn't have it tonight. We fought and clawed back, but more often than not, it's like how we blew it. We blew it. We came back and we ended up holding it off. Oh God, man. I just, I had, I just, I had no, I had almost, I had a little bit of faith, a little bit, uh, last night, but I just, I had faith in score one. I had faith that they'd score the runner on second. I did too. We'll break down the game and all that, but man, I don't know how much more of this I can take. And like I said, I said this, maybe last week, Benny, I said, boy, this team sure burns a lot of fuel, man, to keep around 500. They really do. I mean, they are burning a tremendous amount of fuel to keep a game over 500. And I think there's credit that needs to be given for that. I think there is. This team could have fallen off the cliff many, many times. They still may. They still may. It's stupid baseball. Uh, we all understand that, but Oh my Lord. Oh my Lord. That win last night. You know what? I was laying in bed thinking about it last night because I was wired. I was absolutely wired. I didn't get sleep till midnight. I mean, I just could not sleep. I was so fired up and, and the Twitter went nuts after with all the, the nationals getting there, you know, panties in a bunch about it. And Jesse Winker almost going into the stands after a 66 year old man. And there's a lot to, to break down about this, this, you know, this game last night, but I was thinking to myself last night, remember how there were just a real lack of moments with this team. Really? Like a real severe lack of moments. You look back to last year with such a disappointing season. The only moments you got, really, you got Fernando Tatiz Jr. Stealing home. I mean, that's really the only one that jumps out at me. And then of course, when they're well out of it, you know, they fought back a little bit at the end of the season when ProFAR came back and they won some games, won quite a few games, but it was just too little, too late. There's already been a dozen. There's been a dozen moments in, in 80 games, Ben, that have just been spectacular and exciting and incredible. Much more like 2022, much more like 2020 filled with the LFGSD. Yeah. You know, Horel Faros walk off home runs. There were special moments that ended up in a special season. Now, I don't know that this team is heading on that same trajectory or to the same end point, but I do know it's probably going to take more of this for the pod race to continue, you know, battling their way into a playoff spot because with the injuries that they have, and we'll talk about the injuries. They're going to need different guys to continue to step up. They're going to need better, more consistent starting pitching. They're going to need their bullpen to come through because they simply have lacked the star players staying healthy, staying on the field, and producing that the way they need to produce. And now with Fernando Tetti's junior, likely out. And you may have heard what Mike Schiltz said yesterday, but he is out almost certainly through the All-Star break and probably even a little bit beyond that, I would guess they're going to need more guys to step up, not just Jirikson, not just a rise. They need everybody like Kyle Hagashiyoka had a big hit yesterday. It doesn't have to be the same guy every day, but they're going to need hero Dijour stepping up for the San Diego pod race for the next, you know, four to six weeks. Again, like they have pretty much to get to this point in this season, it's been different guys, and it's going to have to continue to be different guys. I'll tell you, man, those guys believe whether we believe whether the fan base believes there is zero lack of belief in each other in that clubhouse. And I haven't seen a clubhouse like this in a while. Now, again, as we know, things can change, things can turn, you know, they can turn for the worst, they can continue, you know, on this path, and you just never know, based on the comments to the media lately from Jackson Merrill, from Manny Machado, from all these guys, they truly, truly believe in one another. And you can see it, you can see it. I know Manny gets a lot of grief. That dude, I was watching him pretty intently when I was field level on Saturday night. Bro, when Jackson Merrill hit the bomb, first cat out of the dugout, when Kyle Hagashiyoka hit the bomb, first cat out of the dugout, those dudes are stoked to come to work and play together every day. I don't know what that translates to when, you know, when our lost talent's going to win out in baseball, it usually does. But man, they are sure as hell fun to watch. And they sure as hell believe in each other. I think there's something to be said for that. Well, I think the Padres do have the talent to win out as well. In addition, you know, camaraderie and belief, but health also wins out in baseball over 162 game season and the Padres do not have health. That's one thing that they haven't had all season long and it's only continued to get worse. Sliding from Manny's, you know, a concern about Manny to start the season has now crept down into pretty much every high paid player on the roster. The highest paid players, Manny Bogart's, Tatise, Musgrove, Darvish. You find a team out there, though. Okay, your five highest paid players are all hurt. Go ahead and try to make the playoffs down. Go in. Go in. It's not easy to do and give the Padres credit, give Mike Schilt credit, give the players credit for hanging in there, you know, through through some of these setbacks that they've endured in 2024. That's what good teams do. Thank you, Schilti. I do give them a lot of credit. I absolutely do. And I'll tell you, and I know we're all hot. I mean, we are on like, like we, we are in the post-coitus glow right now. I mean, that's how you feel. You feel like you're in the afterglow after a win, like last night. I'm ready to run down to Petco Park and start fighting nationals. Like, that's how fired up I am this morning. Jesse Winker, more like Jesse Stinker, more like Jesse Wanker. How about that one for your morning coffee? I don't know, man, like got him 100%. Got your ass, Jesse. I'm ready to fight these guys. Like, I'm, they got me. They got me. I'm back. I'm like fired up again to watch the San Diego potteries after win like that. And I understand what the afterglow feels like. It may not come again for a while. We know that. So I want to just take today, at least to have some fun with it. Yeah, we're gonna have to talk about the weird, weird communication about injuries, some of the weird comments that came out yesterday. The fact that, you know, they're not really on the same page injury-wise message from the player and the front office. It's a weird thing. It happens here. I think it happens in all, you know, with all baseball teams certainly. But, man, it's, there's a lot to talk about today. A lot, church and pro far though, you know, gets our hero of the morning. He was fantastic last night. What an A.B. What a, what a way to deliver. He also cost me $100. Oh, this is, don't do this moment. This is correct. Save that. I didn't know this. I did not know this. I did not know. I did not know that this was possible. And I thought I had cashed $100 on our San Diego potteries to win by one and a half. Church and pro far didn't do something that would have netted me a hundred. I don't care. I would have paid $100 for that win last night. In fact, I paid $69 for it. I rarely pull out the, hey, $69 to one of our, one of my Twitter followers if we win this game. Because we're down three. And sure enough, they came back at one and I sent $69 to a tier one last night named Grace. So enjoy your $69 on the house. I would have paid that for a dub. 100%. What a great win. What a great win. We're taking your calls as well. Again, if you woke up and you, you went to bed last night after the Nick Senzel home run, wake up this morning to see that your potteries fought and scratched and clawed their way back to a victory. Jonathan in the chat said, I was ready to go after we gave up the homer. My daughter was like, dad, let's stay. And we would have missed it. And he stayed and watched the, watched the victory. We'll talk about our pal Steve Sugimoto. And he is our NIL sponsored athlete from SDSU. He's a professional golfer in Japan. He happens to be home in San Diego. I'm trying to get him in the studio. He's also a psychic. He's also a psychic. Yeah. We've got that video for you as well. Holy smokes, man. Let's, let's get this thing going and have some fun today. We'll set the menu next. We also have a really special guest. Even, well, I don't want to say more special than Jesse Aguiler, who's very special every week. No offense, Jesse. But one that we don't usually have on Tuesdays, we'll tell you who's coming on the program a little bit later as well. We'll get to all of that coming up in our next segment. But it is a, it's a very afterglow Monday, Tuesday morning here after the potteries. Walk off with a four run 10th to beat the Washington national seven to six. We'll come back after a check of traffic and get right to it on San Diego's number one sports station 97 three the fan. Nothing is more important than getting a good night's sleep.

First it was Will Smith with the you know, Mr. irrelevant. He's not even relevant comments. Now it's the Washington National, so they're manager David Martinez intentionally walking. Louisa rise to get to jerks and pro for he comes out on top again with the walk off last night. It's going to be the theme of the program today and we're going to set the menu for you of our show coming up here in just a second. But what's we have a special guest in studio from just down the hall and I don't want to take up too much of his time because he's got his own show to be running this morning. But John Flint is here from the John and Tammy morning show over on KSON and they do something really special that I wanted to give you an opportunity to let our listeners know about because anyone who wants to pitch in here would be very much appreciated, Johnny. Good morning. Thank you guys. I really appreciate the time. We are doing all week something a little different on our show. And if you don't listen to our show, clearly you don't because your tier ones, you listen to this show. But I don't care. I just don't care because you have a heart and you love America and you love the veterans in this town. So many of them suffering from crippling PTSD. We are doing something all week raising $35,000. It's called John and Tammy's Service Pet for a vet. I'm just going to start it off with you. Just go to KSON.com. I'll take you two seconds, click donate. It'll take you to a great place called Pause for Purple Hearts. You guys familiar with this organization here in San Diego? I've not heard of this, but this sounds like a really cool concept. Their concept is just helping out those who would really need the help. That's awesome. And they train these beautiful, unbelievable dogs. Do you know that they can train a dog to sense a nightmare of vets having before he's having the nightmare? Wow. What? One of many things I learned of this wonderful organization, something else that's the most important part, it costs $35,000 to train one dog and then properly match up this dog with this person that, I mean, we talked to a guy named Vick yesterday, Vick's a decorated army hero, okay, an important part of the community here in San Diego who couldn't get his mail, okay, wanted to kill himself because he thought it was a burden to his family. I mean, this is like just a couple of years ago and he got paired up with his service pet and he's, you know, I'm sure he's got some issues at times, but he's not on medication anymore. He doesn't want to not be with his family anymore. And this is directly because of this animal. And if you're listening right now, again, I don't care if you listen to our show. Clearly you don't. You're on this wonderful show, but you do know maybe it's you, but you know somebody that has some kind of an issue when it comes to however they served, whether all aspects of the military are so important. But these front line guys and women, we don't even know what they've seen. Okay, 100%. These animals do and they can help them through this. It's really hard for a, you know, a hero who's been trained and it's all about the team and it's all about, you know, we're going to keep our feelings to ourselves. It's really hard for a person like that to ask for help. No doubt. No doubt. It's the hardest thing for a lot of men to do. It's very, very difficult. We speak about it a lot on this program as well. This idea of having somebody by your side, having something by your side that can help you get through it is massively important. Well, we all love our pets, right? I mean, I wish anybody reacted the way. Except for Ben. Yeah, we all, the rest of us love our pets. Hey, I feed my pet the farmer's dog. That is true. I've heard. But I mean, we all know what it feels for us, who don't suffer from crippling PTSD when we get home. I mean, I wish anybody was as happy as my dog, Roger, the puppy is when I come home. Right. And that fills me with some unbelievable love. You know, that's my boy. Imagine that feeling times a million and that's something that you've gone through. Then, you know, we've got your back, but there are others that won't ask for help. They can ask for help because they don't know how to ask for help, but they are dying inside. And that's not an overstatement. And these dogs can help. If you go to kson.com, just click on service pet for a vet. Donate a dollar, donate $35,000. You know, whatever we can get, we're woefully behind right now. If I saw like I'm panicking, I kind of am, you know, it's kind of my amo anyway. But we're doing this all week. But it's we need about, well, we need about $34,000. Yeah, guys, your ones will step up on Tuesday. So yeah, please, you know, if you've got to just a couple extra bucks, anything will help. And it seems like an outstanding cost. Really, really good cost. I want to point something else out that I just found out recently, you know, when you're walking to Petco and you're like a couple blocks away from the ballpark and all of a sudden, it's tent city. And there are some people that are really suffering and really could use anything you can do. A lot of those guys are vets. I mean, what that's their reward for whatever happened to them? That's what they get when they come back. Maybe we can help that just by one service animal starting off this trend. And again, it costs a lot of money to get this animal trained. But it's a really, really great cause $35,000 to pair one perfectly trained dog with one perfectly matched local hero. K S O N dot com john and Tammy's service pet for a vet. Guys, thank you so much. I got a lot of YouTube stream right now. I'm sure I'm the way the best. There it is. I just made a donation. I love how it tells you, you know, 25 bucks will provide a vest for a service dog, right? $50 a month of food for a growing puppy. Like it tells you exactly how and where your money's going. No, that's awesome. You know, think about like, I was just talking to a vet yesterday who was, you know, I don't know if he lives in a particularly rough part of town, but he was walking and he couldn't approach or be approached by people because he thought they were coming at him or and then he got combative. And these people were just walking. Maybe maybe he was in the shady part. I don't know. But here's what I do know. You walk out with a dog. Dog has to go out. Yeah, you have no choice. You got to take care of the dog too. That's right. People respond differently when they see people with dogs. That's all there is to it. And maybe maybe he was not totally there when you're thinking this guy's coming at me. But you know, doesn't matter because now he thinks, Oh, this person likes my dog. Yeah, dog can sense that too. And he's more calm. It's something simple like that. Just getting someone off a couch. Anyone suffered from any kind of depression ever when you don't want to go to bed and go to work. That's a real valid feeling. Imagine that just crushing your soul and all you know. Yeah. Every day. All right. Thank you guys. Great cause Johnny. Well done with your last one. Thank you so much. I'm going to come in again on Friday. All right. Thank you. I have brothers and sisters that their lives depend on this support. Love it. That means a lot, man. Thank you guys. Very awesome. And what's as you often say, it's really, really hard to reach out for anyone to ask for help. I've got to imagine a doubly triply so for a veteran. No doubt someone who's used to read combat situations even tougher. Push it all down. You know, just your train not to actually ask for that kind of help because you're the people that other people are asking for help. So it's got to be even more difficult. No doubt. Yeah. Please give what you can. Certainly always happy to use this platform for something like that. And thank you. Thank you, Johnny, for coming in. Yeah, man. It's a really, really worthy cause, really, really cool cause. All right. Quickly. Just coming up on the show today. We'll obviously go through all the walk off calls from last night. We've collected them all the chirping and what the National TV broadcast was saying after Jerrickson's walk off and the interaction between him and the Washington Nationals dug out. Is that something you could spill over to game two of the series today. We'll also, of course, talk about the many moves. Spotter has made six roster moves yesterday and give you an update on the injury to Fernando Tetis Jr. What, what he said, what Mike Schiltz said was not exactly what Fernando Tetis said and what kind of doctors say about a stress reaction and the actual amount of time it's going to take for Fernando Tetis Jr. to get healthy again. So we'll talk about all of that. Our regular features in our seven o'clock hour. I mentioned the special guest, though, coming up at 7.45 this morning. We'll pause Padres talk for just a second. We are lucky enough to get a few minutes with Bob Kendrick who's going to join us, the president of the Negro League's baseball museum. He was at the Rickwood field game. He is as knowledgeable as anyone about the history of Willie Mays and this sport. And we've had him on before. He's absolutely fantastic storyteller. The knowledge that he can pass on had a big night in San Francisco last night where they honored Willie Mays as well. Everybody on the Giants wearing number 24 last night. So Bob Kendrick can be with us for a few minutes at 7.45. Jesse Agler with the Incorporated at 8.35 as he always is on Tuesday. We can get his thoughts on last night's game. We'll hear his call of the walk off win coming up next and then final hour. Rindle report and more. So that's the menu. I don't want to waste any more time though. I want to get to our Padres wrap up and really dig deep into last night's back and forth. Come from behind. Come from ahead. Seven to six Padres win over the Washington Nationals. That's next with Ben Woods on San Diego's number one sports station 97 3 to fail. Padres walk it off over the Washington Nationals. You're about to hear all the highlights and I did not I did not get to hear the radio highlights last night. In fact, I didn't even get to see the winning walk off hit by jerks and pro far Benny, which is one of the professional hazards of actually being a sports caster. You occasionally miss big sports moments because you are working. And last night we had the Stanley Cup finals game seven on channel 10, which meant we had a late post game newscast, which because the game the post game ran so long, we weren't on the air until like eight 50. And then I wasn't on until the nine o'clock hour and I'm I see my hit is coming up and I'm looking and I go I've got about five minutes and it's the bottom of the 10th inning and the Padres are rallying and I'm going like, I'll just win it here. Just get it over with or you know, I which want to see the ending and we're getting now it's like three minutes away and jerks and pro far is coming to the plate. And you know, this bad is extending longer and longer. And finally, I realize, okay, I'm on the air in like 45 seconds, I got to sprint to the studio. It's too too count. Bases are loaded. And I don't know what happened. So I leave my office, I go do my sports cast and I have no idea when I walk back into my office, I am way I am walking into a surprise. I know one way or the other. They probably over yeah. But I don't know if it's a loss or a win or how it happened. And as I walk in, I look at my TV and I see a replay. And it's jerks and looking like I mean, like he had a bloop or something. Yeah, it was the swing that the slow most way I go. Oh, did he that's an ass out? Did you like bloop one in front of the right field or something? And then I saw the real replay and go that bounced over the wall. How did that happen? Yeah. So I was very happy, but it was about four or five minutes after it actually happened. I couldn't believe it. And I could not believe that that victory last night. What a game four in the 10th to win that ball game after you were just deflated, demoralized, given up all of us have given up. Don't say you hadn't because you had many people turn the game off. I don't blame you. I almost did as well. Um, let's get the wrap up going. I want to hear this in all its all. I will get all the highlights, the ups and downs coming up right after this check of traffic on 97 three, the fan. I love winning, man. I love winning. You know what I'm saying? It's like better than losing. Oh my God. I'm so stiff. Miss any of the Padres win yesterday. Ben and Woods didn't what I proved. We've got you covered with all of the highlights. I like it with the Padres win. It's the Padres wrap-up presented by Hamou Casino with rilling slots and tables in all the best rewards. Hamou Casino has all the fun you're looking for. Hamou Casino, fun above all else. Give me a due damage. My fander delivers. Kim tries to run. Pushes it for a third. It's a beauty. Corbin picks it up with the bare hand. He's got no play. Toronto wears scores and the Padres take a one-nothing lead. As he swings here, sends one to the gap in right center field. That's going to get down. Solana rounding third on his way. Kim is right behind him. They're both going to score easily. As a Gaussioca pulls into second with a two-run double and a Padre lead is now three to nothing. Minesse swings. Muscles won over Kim into left field. A base hit. That'll tie the game. Abram scores easily. An RBI single for Minesse. He has driven in all three Washington runs. And now a 3-3 game here in the seventh. Ruiz swings. Muscles had over-rized down the line. That's a fair ball. That's going to give the answer to their first lead of the night. Winked around in third. He'll score easily. Bro goes into second, not in time. An RBI double for K. Baird Ruiz. And Washington leads it four to three. Sendzel swings hits it in the air to deep left center field. Brofars racing back. He's in the wall looking up. It's going to go. A home run. Two run, home run for Nick Sendzel. He's first hit of the night. And the Washington lead is now six to three here in the 10th. 1-0 pitch. Meryl swings it into center field and a base hit. Colonel Wernth is scored. Solano's being waived. He's going to come in and score. A two-run single for Jackson Meryl. And a one-run game in the bottom of the 10th. Brofars swings hits it in the air to deep right center. Thomas is back into the gap. Can't get there. They're going to walk it off again. Meryl and Kim score. And the Padres beat the Nationals seven to six. I've been saying this since the beginning of the season, man. These guys, I go to war with them every day, every night, man. It doesn't matter, like, you know, the record doesn't say it. But we got ballers in there, man. And, you know, we keep believing in each other. I'd say we've heard that a lot lately. We got ballers in there. It seems to be the theme of the San Diego Padres clubhouse. And we open the show with it talking about, yeah, the record is not, it's not ideal. It's not what you want. You've, you've cost, you've spent a lot of energy to get there. You got a lot of players banged up. But man, the general consensus in that clubhouse is that we are together. We believe and we are ballers and we can win baseball games. And they've proven that they have absolutely proven that they can beat really good teams, not that the Nationals are a really good team. But they're nipping at your heels, for sure. But you've beaten some really good teams this year. And, you know, it's those stumbles against some craft teams that have set this team back. And had they handled business, you know me, I don't like to go back and try to jam the toothpaste back in the tube. It never is going to work. I don't like to go back in and lament trades that were made and people that got it. There's nothing you can do about it. Nothing. It's just a fool's errand. I can't let myself think about the Angel series and the Rocky series and where we would potentially be, we would have that cushion bed to be able to withstand Fernando Teti's junior being out, Manny being her pro far having bad knees, you know, Darvis being out, Musgrove being a I get it. I absolutely get it. It hurts. It hurts me too. But onward and upward. And the belief in that clubhouse, these guys are finally, finally together, you know, after a couple of years now, listen, one thing we do know is that exciting moments breed, they breed closeness. You can't help but feel close. You could hate each other and you keep winning games like that. You're going to grow to at least appreciate and respect each other. We have seen this team fall off the cliff at times. And that's what we have to avoid. Yeah, you're absolutely right. It shouldn't be that way. It should. It sometimes takes a few big moments and walk offs to build that camaraderie. And unfortunately, last year's team just never got it. They were good enough to, you know, they were probably good enough to get where they wanted to get to. But because nothing good ever happened ever for them to them. And that's their fault as well. You gotta come through in those situations. But there's also luck in baseball. And because they didn't get any of those good lucky moments to build some of those good feelings, it just kept snowballing into worse and worse feeling as the season went on. Obviously, this year has been very different than when things have had a chance to go well. Many times they have gone well. And it turns just into a different atmosphere in the clubhouse for the team with basically mostly the same players. Yeah, yeah, a couple, a couple different guys. Jackson Merrill's been a nice, he's been definitely a big part of positivity and, and, and, you know, tenacity and all of that. All of that. Yeah, and you're right. They kind of waited around for chemistry to happen last year. This year, it feels like they've made sure with some huge, huge moments, Ben, to make sure that this team is together, they keep saying it. Like, don't worry, we're effing ballers. Like, that's how we feel. I like that. That's what you want from your baseball team. You want them to believe in each other. But yeah, it's, it's exhausting. They're exhausting. They have to be exhausted right now playing so hard to stay one game over 500. Joseph in the chat says that positivity straight from Mike Shilt. And of course, he is a very positive guy. But I can't help but remembering that the 2022, as we said, was filled with tons of positivity under Bob Melvin. Yeah. And then in 2023 under Bob Melvin was not right. I tend to think it's less the manager and it's more the players and what's happening on the field. And it just can go one way or another. And so far this year, it's gone in mostly a positive direction for the Padres. Now yesterday's game was very, was very interesting. Remember last yesterday's show we talked about they need to get to Patrick Corbin. This is this thing against lefties. This continued struggles against lefties starting pitching. This is the day it has to end. And then they go out, score three runs in the second inning. I was all ready to tweet out. You know, Louisa rise, he lights that line or I go finally for the first time they have scored more than three runs against a left handed starting pitcher. But line drive found a glove and it turns out they did not score another run against Patrick Corbin. He became the 23rd straight left handed starter to hold the Padres to three or fewer runs as he ended up going all the way through seven innings. And the Padres could do nothing else against him after that second inning. In fact, what was it? 19 straight retired between the end of regulation all the way to the bottom of the 10th inning. The Padres offense went absolutely ice cold silent after that that second inning. That was vibes of last year to get the get the early runs. And then the foot go you put it in cruise control and you're like, oh, we'll just grind this out. See if we can get a three to win. It just last year it didn't happen. And also vibes of last year, they got a good starting pitching performance this time again from Mount Waldron. But couple of defensive miscues not ruled as errors, but the play that Hassan Kim could have made that could have been a double play up the middle turned into a run. Jake's throw. So tell me, I go in to tuck bow in. I come back and I see a bang, bang play at first. I was too lazy to rewind it. I figured something would tell me I'd missed the throw. What happened? I mean, I know. Did he just spike it? He didn't even spike it? Well, he bounced it through as a three hopper to him in position. So he had to run to his right. Okay, he was kind of off balance. He was kind of falling away as he threw it and he got nothing on the throw. I mean, had he just taken half a second, gathered himself and thrown hard, would have been out probably by a step or two. But instead he kind of falls away at noodle arms and it bounces bounces and then finally gets there just a split second too late. And that ends up costing the Padres a run as well. Well, remember early in the season, remember when errors were fatal for this team? They were fatal. We would make an air next guy to run bomb fatal, fatal, fatal. That is a trend that cannot come back. That was remember that? Like the first month of the season, Hassan Kim would boot one next guy to run home. I mean, it was like every other game it would happen. That needs to be cleaned up for sure. And the play, the Hassan Kim play up the middle. Look, nobody I knows making that play, but Hassan Kim can make that play. It hit him square in the glove. It hit him like right in the palm. He just booted it. And that's a that's a double play ball easy because that ball was hit on a rope. Yeah, man, that stuff's got to be cleaned up for sure. And then remember last year again, they could not win an extra inning game. And you know, you just felt like it was heading down that same direction. They get the first two outs in the top of the 10th and you'll day Los Santos holds that runner at second. I've gone so good about that. Okay, this is set really well. And then double home run by Senzel. It's down three. And now you're feeling like we're games probably over at that point. Yeah, we're toast. And then the bottom of the 10th inning happens. And it wasn't just, of course, jerks and pro far's walk off a lot happened to set that up. Had to be David Peralta starting inning with the double, even though Jackson or even though Jake only went to third, that that got the tying run to the plate right away. What happened there? Like, how does Jake not score? It didn't really matter. It doesn't matter at all. It doesn't matter. He's not the tying run. He just can't be thrown out. He can't be thrown out and because he wanted to make sure it was caught or not, he's just forward backward forward 100% sure and make sure you're not thrown out. That's the only thing that really matters on that play. So that no problem with that. Jackson Merrill with another huge at bat to run single that gets the go ahead run to the plate, gets the tying run on base. Hot sun Kim works a walk. Didn't do much. I mean, but didn't swing it. The bad pitches work the walk to get on base and move Jackson Merrill over. Yeah. Then the decision. Hot Rays walk it off over the Washington Nationals. You're about to hear all the highlights and I did not, I did not get to hear the radio highlights last night. In fact, I didn't even get to see the winning walkoff hit by jerks and profile Benny, which is one of the professional hazards of actually being a sports caster. You occasionally miss big sports moments because you are working. And last night we had the Stanley Cup finals game seven on channel 10, which meant we had a late post game newscast, which because the game, the post game ran so long, we weren't on the air until like eight 50. And then I wasn't on until the nine o'clock hour and I'm, see my hit is coming up and I'm looking and I go, I've got about five minutes and it's the bottom of the 10th inning and the pod phrase are rallying and I'm going like, I'll just win it here. Just get it over with or you know, I which want to see the ending. And we're getting, now it's like three minutes away and jerks and profile is coming to the plate. And you know, this bad is extending longer and longer. And finally, I realized, okay, I'm on the air in like 45 seconds, I got a sprint to the studio. It's too too count. Bases are loaded. And I don't know what happened. So I leave my office. I go do my sports cast and I have no idea. When I walk back into my office, I am way I am walking into a surprise. I know one way or the other, the probably over. Yeah. But I don't know if it's a loss or a win or how it happened. And as I walk in, I look at my TV and I see a replay and it's jerks in looking like, I mean, like he had a bloop or something. Yeah, it was the swing, the slow, most way I go. Oh, did he, that's an ass out fly, like bloop one in front of the right fielder or something. And then I saw the real replay and go, that bounced over the wall. How did that happen? Yeah. So I was very happy, but it was about four or five minutes after it actually happened. I couldn't believe it. And I could not believe that victory last night. What a game for in the 10th to win that ball game after you were just deflated, demoralized, given up, all of us had given up. Don't say you hadn't, because you had many people turn the game off. I don't blame you. I almost did as well. Let's get the wrap up going. I want to hear this in all of the highlights, the ups and downs coming up right after this check of traffic on 97.3. The fam. I love winning, man. I love winning. You know what I'm saying? It's like better than losing. Oh my God. I'm so stiff. Miss any of the Padres win yesterday, Ben and Woods didn't. What a proof. We've got you covered with all of the highlights. I like it with the Padres win. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's the Padres wrap up presented by Hamul Casino with thrilling slots and tables in all of best rewards. Hamul Casino has all the fun you're looking for. Hamul Casino fun above all else. Give me a due damage. New damage. Left-hander delivers, Kim tries to run. Pushes it for a third. It's a beauty. Corbin picks it up with the bare hand. He's got no play. Front him with scores. And the Padres take a 1-0 lead. As he swings here, sends one to the gap in right center field. That's going to get down. Solana rounding third on his way. Kim is right behind him. They're both going to score easily. As the Gaussioka pulls into second with a two-run double. And the Padre lead is now three to nothing. Naminesis swings. Muscles won over Kim into left field. A base hit. That'll tie the game. Abram scores easily. An RBI single for Manesis. He has driven in all three Washington runs. And now a three-three game here in the seven. We've swings. Muscles had over rise down the line. That's a fair ball. That's going to give the dance to their first lead of the night. Wink the round in third. He'll score easily. Grogos in his second not in time. An RBI double for K. Baird Ruiz. And the Washington leads it four to three. Sanzell swings. Hits it in the air to deep left center field. Grog far is racing back. He's in the wall looking up. It's going to go. A home run. Two run, home run for Nick Sanzell. It is first hit of the night. And the Washington lead is now six to three here in the ten. 1-0 pitch. Meryl swings. Wines it into center field. And a base hit. Meryl wins this score. Solano's being waived. He's going to come in and score. A two run single for Jackson Meryl. And a one run game in the bottom of the ten. Bro far swings. Hits it in the air to deep right center. Thomas is back into the gap. Can't get there. They're going to walk it off again. Meryl and Kim score. And the Padres beat the Nationals seven to six. I've been saying this since the beginning of the season, man. These guys, I go to war with them every day, every night, man. It doesn't matter. Like, you know, the record doesn't say it, but we got ballers in there, man. And, you know, we keep believing in each other. We've heard that a lot lately. We got ballers in there.

I don't like to go back and lament trades that were made and people that got it. There's nothing you can do about it. Nothing. It's just a fool's Aaron. I can't let myself think about the Angel Series and the Rocky Series and where we would potentially be. We would have that cushion bed to be able to withstand Fernando Teti's junior being out, Manny being her profile is having bad knees, you know, Jarvis being out, Musgrove being out. I get it. I absolutely get it. It hurts. It hurts me too. But onward and upward. And the belief in that clubhouse, these guys are finally, finally together, you know, after a couple of years. Now, listen, one thing we do know is that exciting moments breed. They breed closeness. They that you can't help but feel close. You could hate each other and you keep winning games like that. You're going to grow to at least appreciate and respect each other. We have seen this team fall off the cliff at times. And that's what you have to avoid. Yeah, you're absolutely right.

I like that. That's what you want from your baseball team. You want them to believe in each other. But yeah, it's, it's exhausting. They're exhausting. They have to be exhausted right now playing so hard to stay one game over 500. Joseph in the chat says that positivity straight from Mike Schilt and, and of course he is a very positive guy, but I can't help but remembering that the 2022 as we said was filled with tons of positivity under Bob Melvin.

Remember yesterday's show we talked about they need to get to Patrick Corbin. This is this thing against lefties, this continued struggles against lefties starting pitching. This is the day it has to end. And then they go out score three runs in the second inning. I was all ready to tweet out. You know, Louisa rise, he lets that liner I go. Finally, for the first time they have scored more than three runs against a left-handed starting pitcher, but line drive found a glove and it turns out they did not score another run against Patrick Corbin. He became the 23rd straight left-handed starter to hold the Padres to three or fewer runs as he ended up going all the way through seven innings.

The Padres offense went absolutely. Ice cold, silent after that second inning. That was vibes of last year. Get the get the early runs and then the foot go you put it in cruise control and you're like, oh, we'll just grind the sound see if we can get a three, two win. It just last year it didn't happen. And also vibes of last year, they got a good starting pitching performance this time again from Matt Walter. And but couple of defensive miscues, not ruled as errors, but the play that Hassan Kim could have made. They could have been a double play up the middle, turned into a run. Jake's throw. So tell me, I go in to tuck bow in. I come back and I see a bang bang play at first. I was too lazy to remind it. I figured something would tell me I'd miss the throw. What happened? I mean, I know.

And that's a that's a double play ball easy because that ball was hit on a rope. Yeah. And then that stuff's got to be cleaned up for sure. And then remember last year again, they could not win an extra inning game. And you know, you just felt like it was heading down that same direction. They get the first two outs in the top of the 10th and you'll day Los Santos holds that runner at second. You're going so good about that. Okay, this is set really well. And then double home run by Senzel. It's down three. And now you're feeling like we're games probably over at that point. Yeah, we're toast. And then the bottom of the 10th inning happens. And it wasn't just of course, jerks and profiles walk off a lot happen to set that up. Had to be David Peralta starting inning with the double. Even though Jack's or even though Jake only went to third that that got the tying run to the plate right away. What happened there? Like, how does Jake not score? It didn't really matter. It doesn't matter at all. It doesn't matter. He's not the tying run. He just can't be thrown out. He can't be thrown out and because he wanted to make sure it was caught or not. He's just forward backward forward 100% sure and make sure you're not thrown out. That's the only thing that really matters on that play. So that no problem with that. Jackson Merrill with another huge at bat to run single that gets the go ahead run to the plate gets the tying run on base. Hudson Kim works a walk. Yeah, didn't do much. I mean, but didn't swing it the bad pitches, worked the walk to get on base and move Jackson Merrill over. Yeah. Then the decision to pinch hit Tyler Wade and lay down the very short sacrifice bunt. One inch ended up working out. Got the runners over to second and third. There was Solano at the double then Peralta popped out. Okay. So that was that was unfortunate. So I did see people upset that they didn't let Kyle Higashioke hit. I know Higgy's been hot. I think going to Peralta for a sack fly there is probably the right move. It didn't work out. I was pretty I was pretty bummed about that. That ties the game up. He didn't come through. He didn't come through and it happened. So that was kind of a bummer. What did you think of the what did you think of the bullpen management? I saw people upset again with any l being there, but I kind of liked the more home ended up giving up a run, which has been you know, uncharacteristic of him. Astronaut was fine. Suarez was Suarez. And I thought it was fine. You're going to run out of like they're trying to win that game. You know, they're trying to win that game in those last couple of innings. And it just didn't get there. I mean, it's who do they want to come in? Right. Right. In that spot. You know, if you use your it's one day or you want to yell or collac. Yeah. I mean, you know, those are the guys and they all have sometimes come through and sometimes not come through. It's it's Russian roulette once you get past the first couple of guys in the bullpen. So like wants to know what I thought about the bunt for a run by Kim. I'm absolutely fine with it. You know why Mike? Because you didn't give up and out. You didn't give up and out there. So I again, you guys know it's it's it's a it's a hill that I like I'm going to be punished on forever and I'm fine to wear it. What I've always what's bugged me about this team at times this year is like, well, and you know, the hero of the night last night, Jerx and pro far in the three hole trying to sacrifice bunt in the second inning or the first inning makes me nuts. I'll be completely honest with you. That kind of stuff makes me nuts giving up and out. But in that case last night, Hassan Kim looking up going, okay, yeah, Kim, I was fine with the I actually didn't love the decision to bunt with Tyler Wade there just because man I because it's so obvious what he's going to do. I almost given the defense a pretty good advantage because you're sending up a guy when anyone with a, you know, Twitter handle can go, well, here comes the bunt. I almost tweeted Ben. Why are you even taking warm up swings in the on deck circle? Just literally practice. Everyone knows you're not and that's not great. Now you got it down. Good credit. I know it was a one inch but but to the when the defense can with 99.9 percent assured he know what's coming. That's good for the defense. That's good for the defense. It makes it harder to get your job done. Well, and when Peralta didn't hit the sack fly, I was like, great. Now you've given up and out. All right, that's set up. Of course, Jerx and pro far and when we come back before we play take on woods, we'll hear some of the other calls of the walk off. You heard Jesse's? We got done. We got Spanish. We got what the Nationals TV broadcast said. And of course, we have Korean. Our careers. Well, I'll come at a next with better one. It's a 97.3 to fail. Nice.
