It is and will be throughout the day. Very excited to be here with you on a Friday. It's been a long week, but a very fruitful week as well for the Ben & Woods program. And, you know, San Diego as a whole, at least the last couple nights as far as our baseball team is concerned. What a game last night. If you fell asleep, Hannah, you really missed out on on quite a moment. Caitlin in the chat. She also fell asleep. She also had big Jake Croninworth fan, missed the walkoff home run by crony last night. Thank you crony for bailing your old pals Ben and Woods out today. I did not want to see. I did not want to talk to country Ben today after blowing a two run lead in the ninth inning. I did not want to talk to country Ben today. And I think it's going to be a little bit better tone and tenor. Hey, it was sexy. Thank you, Skip. I am woodsy. That is Paul Reindel. He is the executive producer and what a night for Paulie last night. Just dropping D on everyone at his tier one basketball game. Would you get 16 18 points? I'm like that. Yeah, big win. We're in the it's kind of like sour sweet and sour in the consolation bracket, which is an ideal not ideal, but but we're also playing up a division. You're playing up a division. So we're in the consolation bracket. We had the semi finals yesterday. You want big win. Huge. So we're in the so the tier one baseball team is going for a championship on Sunday. The tier one basketball team going for a championship next Thursday. tier ones are just done tier ones won the golf tournament the other day too. I mean, we're really quite a sporty bunch. What does playing up a division mean? Are you like a double a team playing in triple? Yeah, they have. So they have like D one D two D three. And I think maybe even a D four that would be for me. We and though we've been playing D three for the last like five seasons. And we signed up for D three. I didn't even realize about halfway through the season. Why are we in D two? They didn't just like your ass kicked every week. Why does every team have like three guys that just don't miss. I'm like, Oh, we're on the level. They didn't have enough teams in D three. So they consolidated D three and D four. And we ended up staying in D two. And Well, you made the consolation bracket and you won the game and you accidentally put San Diego state in the SEC one season. They were down a team in football. They're like, Oh, what? Okay, I guess we'll do it for the exposure. But you know, Hey, listen, it probably made you a little better, but you weren't feeling great. You know, nobody was yesterday at all. And we had six guys with so we had one. So if anybody got hurt, at one point, I was like, I'm feeling a little nauseous, not feeling good. And we powered through. We got the win. We've had those those adult ball games where nine guys show up and you have a double letter. And you're like, this is gonna be the longest day of my life. He's on the chat. He's on the team. He says, up a division really means it's more it's a bunch of 30 and 40 year olds going up against 20 year olds that just graduated college or played college ball or something. Yeah. And they're I already got a text from the tier one commissioner of the league asking, are the tier ones moving up a division next year 18, like double a and I said, sure, that's what you want. We'll figure it out. So we've got to win this championship this weekend that would love to see you guys out at Orange Glen high at 1 p.m. That's where it starts. And then if we win that game, we go to Esquindido high at 5 30 for the ship. But we got to get through game one first, not looking past those guys at all, but excited. And it should be a fun weekend. It's been a really fun week. Benjamin Higgins is your friendly neighborhood sports anchor. You are here this morning. You look much better than a little friend there than yesterday yesterday was rough feeling a little bit better this morning. Got some sleep last night. Obviously, it's been an exhausting week, but you're right. It helps a little bit for the Padres to get a walk off when everyone just feels a little bit better this morning. Yeah, man, it really, really does. It changes a little bit of the vibe going into the weekend, certainly, but it was much needed and it almost got away. And of course, we've got we've got all day to talk about that. I wanted to share with you guys in the tier one, something that happened yesterday that is truly, truly surreal and mind blowing strap in for this one. And then I'm going to ask you for a little bit of I'm interested to see your take on this. I got a phone call from somebody. I'm going to leave his name out of the story. But I got a phone call from somebody that I consider a dear, dear friend. And we check in with each other quite a bit. And he said to me, I haven't told you everything that's going on. I said, no, you have it. And he said, I got a phone call from the FBI. I said, what? I said, Oh, you're done. You're done did it now. What did you do? What did you do? And I thought to myself, Oh, man, what I hope you're not caught up in anything major. And he said, no, got a phone call from the FBI. He said, do you remember when my father passed away? Four years ago, I said, I do. Yeah, awful, awful for you. You know, he's a younger guy, he's younger than me. He said, man, have you heard this story going on in Colorado? And I said, Oh, I said, vaguely, fill me in. He said, can you do lunch this week? I said, sure, I said, it works out perfectly. I've got three hours to kill between our round table on Thursday and the CEO meeting. And so yeah, I'll come up to you, we'll go get lunch and we'll go hang out, sit down and start talking about what happened. Essentially, guys, his father picked this funeral home in Colorado four years ago. And he was sick. He was he was passing away of cancer. He wanted to get his affairs in order. So he actually chose this funeral home because they are a green, they're a green funeral home, eco friendly, eco friendly, do things allegedly the right way. And so he says to me, yeah, you know, we got his ashes, we went, we did a big ashes spreading ceremony at mammoth, we put his ashes in the river and the whole thing, it was cathartic and awful and beautiful and everything that comes with with losing a parent like that. He said, turns out, though, my father was one of the guys that the FBI had found in this funeral home's basement, along with 189 other bodies that have been stacked in the basement of this funeral home in Colorado. And I just go, Oh, I can't believe it. I cannot believe it. And he said, it's been and I said, all right, well, first things first, how are you? You know, this is nearly he goes, it's so beyond gnarly. I can't even he goes, I have good days with it. And I have bad days with it. He said, my mind wanders to that place of like, that was my dad down there in a basement when I thought I had him, you know, in in my this urn. And then I thought I had spread his ashes. Wait, what? So what were they? Why were they keeping the bodies? So what was going on here? So they had had some major, what did they give him? Right. So they had some major financial issues. There was a husband and wife team in Colorado. They had two funeral homes, one in Colorado Springs and then one in like a little smaller town, a pen rose. It's called small Rocky Mountain town of Penrose. Investigator, people started to notice something is not right. There is a putrid smell coming out of the Penrose building had a makeshift refrigeration unit. But those weren't working when the bodies were found. And I said to him, I said, all right, like, why did they do this? I was trying to wrap my head around it. And he said to me, and I said, were they were like harvest thing stuff? He goes, no, because I think when you're, you know, when you pass away, you pass away, you can you can donate your body to science and things like that is not much left. There's not much left that you can do with a body. Correct. What they're doing, let's say Ben, you want to be cremated. And I say, okay, it's $2,000. You give me $2,000. Let's say it costs $500 for the process of the cremation. Well, I'm not going to even do anything. I'm just going to take your two grand and not actually go through with it. And so I talked to him about it. And I just said, I go, are you, are you thinking about it pragmatically at all? Like, well, it was just a vessel. It's not my dad. He goes, yeah, I do have those moments. And then my again, my mind wanders to my dad's been down there for four years. And I thought I now now you have to relive everything that happened. And you have to re mourn. It's almost like your father passes away twice. Yeah, you know? And so I said, what did they send you? And he goes, honestly, he goes, the investigators told me they found a huge order that was around the same time for quick dry concrete. And I go, oh, were they like building up? He goes, no, no, no. They were sending bags and earns full of quick dry concrete. Because it looks like ashes. So then he started, he kind of laughed. And he goes, what's funny is like, we poured concrete into a river, like a lot of concrete into a river. And I go, man, I am, I am so sorry to hear that. And he goes, do you know how weird he goes? I fully know this is going to be like a, like a Netflix documentary. Like, I know there's going to be like something because it's a married couple, because it's a very salacious story. Man, they started telling me about the, um, the text messages between the couple. And it said, a couple texts exchange, my one and only focus is keeping us out of jail. They were, they were thinking about selling off assets to cover their expenses, worried about losing everything if they were exposed. This is pretty gnarly. He talks about, he says, I want to take a shower as soon as I get back. Because while I was making the transfer, I got people juice on me. And then the next text to his wife was, want to double cheeseburger, lettuce wrapped with everything, minus tomatoes, please, insane, absolutely insane. So I just put my arms around him, told him I loved him, told him I'm sorry. And he said the, uh, the FBI is going to be coming to his home in the next week to sit down and, and talk about it. Now, the cool thing was, he said, my dad was a bit of a rabble rouser in his life. He would, he worked in the fundraising business. And he said, what he would do, it really threw no fault of his own, but he would get jobs with fundraising departments, including a local university and things like that. And he said he would get in, kind of look around and go, there's a, uh, there's a lot of corruption here. There's a lot of things going wrong here. There's a lot of unexplained lunches and expenses. He was kind of a kind of an ester, right? Like coming in saying, no, no, this isn't right. And they said, you know, Hey, this, this is how we do things here. Well, that's not right. You're, you're stealing. You're a charity. And he helped expose a lot of corruption. He goes, I think he would be so happy. It was like a forensic accountant. Yeah. It comes in and goes. The numbers don't. He's don't add up. And you know, people would try to silence him and quiet him. He goes, I really think the thing he goes, the thing that's giving me the most piece is I really think he would enjoy knowing he's a part of bringing these people down. And I said, man, I feel that like if that helps you sleep, I fully subscribe to that. I said, but what a gnarly story like that you're a part of this guy I'd love. I adore him. I've been friends with him for a long time. And yeah, he's pretty shaken by the whole thing. I just said, man, I cannot, I cannot imagine told Hannah. I said, you know, I've told, I've said this on the air before I want to be cremated as well. And I said, but I don't want you to maybe spread a little bit of me some places I love. I'm going to send you some far flung areas to just to be a pain in the ass forever. And I said, I want all these kids to have an urn and I want them to have to carry it around everywhere, every apartment they live in. There's the head. Here's dad. Like, I want to be a pain in your ass for the rest of your lives. I said, but I want you to see me go in to the thing. And you stand there with a cup at the end, like a soft serve machine, you know what I mean? Like they pushed me in and it comes down to the buffet trades, slide it over, slide it over, and then okay. Here's your dad. Like, I want you to see it because I don't want to get this. I don't want this to happen to me. Number one and number two, I don't want to like them looking around going, is that him or it doesn't matter? Just give him some magic. I want to make sure I'm with my family for the rest of my life and their lives and and all that. It's important to me. The thought of being, you know, I know it's just my body. I know it's not my soul or whatever. But I, I, if I did know, I can't bear the thought of being in Jim and Cindy Johnson's living room and, you know, my kids got somebody else or my wife or somebody else and her new husband, you know, looking at her ex-husband or her late husband, you know, I couldn't bear the thought. So it was really crazy that he's a part of this. It's a national story. I mean, it's everywhere. My, my biggest takeaway. And, and hopefully your friend, you know, I would think that I could, I could say it's not really my dad there. It's just a yes, just an empty vessel that you said. But the one thing that is very real and is very nightmare fuel is a basement filled with like almost 200 decomposing bodies. That really existed. It really existed. And that's horrifying. Yeah. And so that is nightmare fuel. So I said to him, how, how deep have you gone? He goes, I started to read one article and it was talking about the bugs and flies. And he goes, I shut my computer. I was done. I go, I go, buddy, don't do it until if you're ready one day to really, you know, I have a little bit of morbid curiosity in me, not when it would come to my parents, you know, I would be so incensed by the whole thing. Now another interesting part. Homeboy is a flight risk. The, the husband is a flight risk based on some texts and things that he is, and they have of his. She isn't. She's out on bail, living in Penrose, doing door dash, delivering groceries to families of victims that they have done this to. And I just, my mind just went, you know, and so, yeah, dude, it was, it was like, I sat at lunch yesterday. I was exhausted, but I sat like that and wrapped attention just going, holy crap, man. So yeah, hugged him at the end, you know, told him, please call me after the FBI leaves your condo and let me know how it goes. But, um, yeah, very, very gnarly story, very gnarly story. So I wanted to share it. Yeah, I asked him. I said, can I share that story? He goes, absolutely, please. Like, it's just another reminder of like, do your research, I guess, you know, I there's really no way to tell if you're getting scammed or whatever, just watch your back. I think is the moral of the story. Watch your back, um, and try to make the best decision that you can reputable places and whatnot. And, um, yeah, very, very crazy, crazy story. Just when you think Ben and Woods is going to zig, we zag, exactly right, start the mornings. Let's, uh, let's just jump off from there and probably get into some, uh, you know, pot raised stuff in a minute. We'll set the menu when we come back and get to the highlights. What a, what a game last night. What? I mean, there's a lot to break down in a seven to six win, not just the walk off home run, but, you know, top to bottom, that game had many, many key moments to open the homestand. So we'll talk all about that coming up, set the menu first, a quick check of traffic. And then we are off and running. It is Friday.

well and we'll discuss it a little bit later today probably in 830 during our rindle report but it was um well let me just say it's uh it's easy to be cynical about you know big events the major league baseball puts on thank for the most part they did uh they did a really nice job last night on that cardinals giants game in alabama at the oldest professional ballpark in america and uh in fox for the most part did a good job as well with the entire broadcast in the event yeah I mean other than than human ambian himself Joe Davis calling the game it was great it was great and a chance to watch any I saw the clip did they play like a whole half inning in black and old style with the old camera angles like they used to it was pretty cool I certainly wouldn't want to watch a whole game like that no yeah it was I mean it was it was cool bow bow came in and asked what's this game you know and I told him about it and the significance of it and and then um we were talking about willy mays and and I showed him a picture or a video of the catch you know and he watched the catch and he goes oh that's easy and I go it's not it's not easy he goes on it's easy catch I go it's not he said yeah he didn't even get under it I mean I go bow he said it wasn't a world series game yeah I go he's in a dead sprint his backs to the infield he looks hey he doesn't even really look back it like he puts his glove up catches it turns around makes great throw it's easy I go you got you have what it takes to be a ball player if you think that was an easy catch I was like not once you catch one in the infield that pops up straight to you first and then we'll worry about the ones over the shoulder but uh I did I tweeted he's gonna be a natural fit on pottery's twitter one day they had a uh a moment of silence for willy mays at petco park last night and then willy mays his name got invoked again later in the uh the day when jackson meryl hit his sixth home run in the past eight games and uh you know the the statistical gurus dug into the archives to find has any other 21 year old or younger center fielder ever done that in in their lives and then of course there was only one yep who has ever done that at age 21 or younger and it is willy mays and now jackson meryl has done it's six home runs in a span of eight games good company which is pretty incredible we'll go through the entire game with our pottery's wrap up coming up in our next segment if you did not hear the radio highlights last night I certainly uh recommend that you stay tuned to hear jesse's walkoff call the longest home run of the season by san diego pottery back-to-back home runs in the first inning there were also some absolutely key defensive plays and yeah some bullpan hijinks that made that game quite a bit more stressful than it needed to be but we'll talk about it all coming up in our next segment our pot raise wrap up seven o'clock hour uh take on woods last chance this week to qualify for the trip to las vegas along with don't do this and then we'll talk more pot raise baseball uh poly hasn't planned on the run down we mentioned it yesterday this is the six year anniversary of ice cubes five year five year anniversary of ice cubes appearance here on uh on Ben & Woods a 97-3 the fan when I got to read uh read wraps for ice cubes so we're gonna do a little throwback uh Ben reads wraps today oh good coming up at 750 like we used to do on friday's uh in the past so we will bring that back today just a little special one off for you eight o'clock it is a grand old barbeque friday that means jake mince from sespa this family barbeque is going to be with us to talk some baseball in our eight o'clock hour as i mentioned ryla reported eight thirty five because on friday's we talked to the manager our managers report with mike shilt at nine o'clock and uh you know be kind of mixed bag since we last talked to mike shilt five game losing streak but also two wins and coming back home with the walk-off victory last night should at least uh soften the conversation just a little bit yeah after what happened the last couple of days yeah i mean honestly you have to ask him about the bull pen woes uh right now certainly and and yuki matt sui it probably being at the forefront of those and um he did explain and i didn't i didn't stay up for the post-game that i rarely do especially when we're going to talk to him the next day uh the explanation of why a strata and not soar as last night is an interesting one we could talk about that uh certainly but yeah man great win great win almost a devastating loss but you know we don't complain about wins around here but we we can dig deep into what the hell's going on with the bull pen and uh there's some there's some major issues there and then uh we still have one more pair of doobie brothers tickets to give away uh like we have done all week long you just have to listen for our special doobie brothers sounder

game started and i knew it's at a measure on the mound and the bullpen is somewhat depleted going into this game i thought okay you probably need to score at least seven or eight runs to win this game no question i never had a doubt that that was what it was going to take even after they scored four in the first i go that's it's a good start that's not enough if you don't if you don't score again you're not going to win this game yeah and uh for a while then you know it stayed for one i go maybe i'm wrong about that no i i was right they needed to score more runs of course they did it took a walk off home run we'll get the call of the walk off and the rest of the action last night and our pod raise wrap up right after this check of traffic on 97 3 the fan i love winning man i love women you hear what i'm saying it's like better than losing oh my god i'm so stiff miss any of the pod raise win yesterday Ben and Woods didn't what approved we've got you covered with all of the highlights

hamul casino fun of all else yeah give me a due damage now the two two yellow swings grounded to first base arise has it in front of the bag coming home the slide in the tag not in time to rank just in feet first ahead of the tag from the least campusano pod raise of course we'll take a look and see if they want to challenge it it was a bang bang play at home plate anyway it's here it comes and machado swings hits it in the air to deep right field free look is back towards the corner he's at the wall look it up gonna go three run homer manning machado just like that the pod raise lead it three to one here in the first or two hit in the air deep to right field towards the pole jackson meryl has done it again ninth of the season for meryl goes deep and back to back games and has now homered three time in his last two games here at pepco markets four to one one and two adama swings hits it in the air to deep center meryl sprinting straight back at the wall it's gonna go line drive home run straightaway center field team leading 13th of the season for adamas this is a one run game now for three in the fifth that's it in the air to deep left field forget it yellow it's not even

lined in a left field yellage to his left wasted in the lights and it gets beyond him Fernando's racing to third he's gonna be waved tautisse on his way home the throw is cut and another miscue defensively for the growers gives the pod raise their sixth run of the night one and one the pitch to rang swings lines at the other way and that is down in front of paralta base it they are gonna wave or tease around and he will score just ahead of the throw RBI single brice to rang his third knock of the night it is now six to four here in the eighth inning and you got to figure that'll be all for wandy paralta here's the pitch from a strata it bounces in kicks away and the run is gonna sport yellage in from third behind the play bowers goes to second a wild pitch and now a six to five game here's the two two hoskin swings muscles it in the air to deep left field as no cars going back he will leap up can't make the catch hits against the wall this will tie the game powers has scored hoskin's into second with an RBI double and it's six to six pitch number seven on the way and chrono word swings hits it in the air to deep right field and way back good to go for the third consecutive game here at petco park the Padres it'll walk off home run he got siyoka and marrow and now jake chrono word through throws his helmet as he approaches home plate the Padres beat the brewers 76 pretty impressive pretty amazing grit squad strikes yeah i mean especially coming back ball the whole way down you know maser battle get the lead right back stand extend yeah had the lake can't hold on to it right and just found a way clearly a big swing by crony and third walk off and row at home right good stuff memorable historic probably indeed it was after a little bit of research they found out that is the first time in padre's franchise history that they've had three consecutive home games end with walk off home runs of course the first two happened at the end of the last home stand against the oakland a's kyla gashyoka jacks and marrow and now jake chrono worth keeps the streak going who's going to make it tonight for in a row with another walk off do we have to have a walk off we actually just win a normal game and hold a lead in the ninth and i'm our bullpen not give up any runs and yeah that would be the the preferable uh prescription for a victory tonight but we all realize baseball does not work that way if you're going to blow a lead at least have the walk off after the feeling of deflation when they tied the game off of a strata in my home by me was painful i mean it was it was painful i just looked up and i said please please don't do this i'm begging you don't do this let's they did it let's start at the beginning though because not heard in that highlight package was probably the most important play of the game other than the walk off home run and that was in the first inning when at adam measure was was in trouble he was he was a run was in the bases were loaded he's on the ropes already you could easily see that getting away from him the potter is having to go to a a bullpen day in the first or second inning and they would not have been able to overcome that and many machado started an incredible double play to get out i think it was on hoskins to get out of the first inning with just the one run allowed he made a terrific play and then the throw to second with a great scoop in turn by jake kronoworth i mean just to make that catching at the one out is probably above and beyond but then to make the turn and then arise made a nice scoop you never thought that that even had a chance to be a double play and it really stabilized things and of course allowed the potter is to take that for one lead in the bottom of the first inning but that game could have gone very bad very quickly if not for a terrific play by many machado yeah i mean that's uh correct me if i'm wrong you can't make that play if you're on the i l is that right i don't know too much about baseball but i do know if you're on the i l that's not i don't think donovan slano makes that play a third okay he doesn't make that play a third probably nobody else on the roster makes that play a third oh that was a many machado special interesting and then very interesting and then he goes the other way you know you know moments later for the three run shot and now hold on is that can you do that you cannot oh you cannot i was i was told that's where he should you should be i mean there was conversation purple says half the roster makes that play purple i know who you are don't be an idiot try put him in time out no we don't put is that bow that's an easy catch yeah that's an easy that's an easy double play that's an easy double play no they really the pick from crony was nasty i mean as nasty nasty now that's you know you second baseman you're now a first baseman on that play and jake's got plenty plenty of plenty of reps over it at the one bag and makes just a fantastic pick turn gets a guy by half a step and out of that inning man which is huge i i honestly i was watching last night and you could feel it like spiraling on on measure i i i don't know what to make of adam measure i i don't look at him and say well listen he's he's got really i don't look at him and say he's got really really good stuff he just needs some time to work it out i honestly been he i look and with the walks and stuff the the lack of control and the fat pitches man fat fat pitches he threw a couple of decent sliders a decent change up but man the the some of the sliders were spinning right in the zone and the meat and the the fast balls were fat i think what is hopefully encouraging is that that it's not like that was ever a part of his game in the minors he does he doesn't walk people right it seems to be maybe a you know big moment pressure you know trying to adjust to the big league level being too fine i think at some point adam measure is going to be a big league pitcher i don't see him as an ace of the staff type but i can see him as a you know end of the rotation solid starter but there's still some work to be done uh you know to get there in the big league level and he did he did pretty well you know yeah he stabilized after that and nearly made it through five and he almost made it through five until the two run home run by adammas um but i i would imagine that that was his last start he will probably go back down i would think today you send him back down to triple a and you call up a a bullpen arm to uh to have another option out of what is a fatigued bullpen and then in four days you can call you darvish up off the injured list to make the next start but that would give you an extra arm available for the next four days or so yeah you know you wonder what the the corresponding move is going to be could be logan glass b could be tom cuzgrove you have no idea but uh they definitely need some help in their asap uh because the bull pen is is a hundred percent battered right now man and i was looking up some numbers uh of some of the guys in there and look i as much as we want yuki motsui to be uh the guy i just don't know that he's the guy right now i'm not saying he's never going to be the guy but then he has got he's got a four e r a in 34 appearances okay he's pitched 31 and a third innings he has struck out 27 not bad he's walked 20 batters 20 batters that is unacceptable and so many of those feel like they were the first batter of the inning yeah man hundred percent which just put you in such a bad spot now i i haven't seen the numbers but it feels like when when yuki motsui comes in and the potters are down three i got them you want them yeah go ahead low leverage yeah hitters 163 with a 486 ops perfect low leverage situations high leverage 241 760 ops uh of the 42 batters he's faced in high leverage he struck out 12 but he's also walked nine allowed two doubles and a triple not quite the setup stuff that you're looking for from yuki motsui and uh which is fine i mean like use him in the role in which he is best to custom i don't know that it's the role he was used in last night as much as we want it to be that way as as devastating as that splitter looked uh early in the year if you can't land it for if you can't keep it in the zone make it look like a strike you you don't have the overpowering other pitches to get out you know last night's game was such a microcosm of the pottery's bullpen because motsui actually didn't give up a run because wandy peralta came in and struck out gary sanchez great job by wandy peralta but then wandy comes out the next inning and walks two batters and then one run comes around to score and then dalo santos comes in and he gets a big strikeout and then jeremyastrada obviously who uh and and mike shilt said this after the game because this is what i was curious about why jeremyastrada why not robert swar is both had been used the previous two jeremyastrada had pitched four of five days no but mike shilt said i went to both of those guys just just check on their availability before the game and i said be honest you know how do you feel and robert swar is said i would love to be able to go but i i think i need a day and shilt said you got it you robert you are off you got that that quote here strata was able to take the ball i give him a ton of credit man you know we were uh both them and swaris had gone back to back took their temperature before the game i want to be mindful of it um swar is was honest like look man i could they're all i love this group because i always say they can go but we always you know like hey you know really how do you feel and he's like i could i could use it i could use a day so we clearly respect that jeremy i said i'm good i'm good i feel good i can i can take the ball and you know you had a longer anything we'd like because the last hitter he's gonna face um but man i'm my admiration for him taking the ball um and doing that was is very high i think the other i mean you know one of the the ways that that could have gone out of control was when they all came out and met with major uh about willy adomas and essentially you know what the message there was it was all right one swing and they're right back in this game uh adam we need you to execute here and when willy hit it i just immediately thought well who could have seen that coming right there i'm not putting that on shilt at all um willy adomas is a really good player put a good swing on a on a pitch that was up in the zone and and pounded it out man and it it just but when you don't have a ton of options down there that are well rested ready to go it managing this bullpen is it can be a nightmare you know it's easy to say jeremy has strata failed because he blew the save he gave up the lead and that's not your job when you come into the ninth inning however and i was listening to sami leavitt last night on the post-game show and i think it's a good point that you need to get 27 outs to win that the baseball game doesn't mean you have to you know hold everybody in check but you have to get to the finish line and the pot raise needed someone to get to the finish line even though he gave up the two runs he did come up with two big strikeouts to at least get it to six six to the bottom of the ninth where jake crone and worth wanted so while he didn't do what the way you would like it to be done he did enough that the pot raise were able to win that game it sometimes didn't cough it up sometimes you have to win games like that that was always going to be a game as i said you got to score seven eight runs to win that game with major on the mound against a brewer's team like that i was never going to be a three to one win it just let's just point it out to me that it is national flip flop day a very important holiday for me as i am not only wearing my flip flops as i always do but i'm also wearing my flying chonclus hat which is the uh the double-a alternates for the san antónio missions chonclus of course spanish for flip flops so happy national flip flop day out there what are the odd and you didn't know i did not know that you wear that hat not very well no that's wild just works out that way sometimes goes well with our color scheme today because it's a city connect friday paul is wearing his pot raise city connect hat we've got our city connect colors on our youtube stream yeah we do well it's even you're in kind of a pink like city connect pink yeah i like this color goes well today everybody's uh everybody's on theme on a friday just kind of accidentally you know it's like a salmon is this a salmon salmon no i say it's a little darker than the coral coral i like that poly like that i like that very nice all right uh this hour i've been awards is brought to you by tropical smoothie cafe join the free smoothie party at tropical smoothie cafe today june 21st for national smoothie day we're treating our tropic rewards members to a free smoothie with a bowl or food purchase order in the app online or pop by the cafe for a little sip and chill three cheers to our tropic fam terms and conditions apply all right we're going to get to our pot raise wrap up um i now correct me if it when the game started and i knew it's at a measure on the mound and the bullpen is somewhat depleted going into this game i thought okay you probably need to score at least seven or eight runs to win this game no question i never had a doubt that that was what it was going to take even after they scored four in the first i go that's it's a good start that's not enough if you don't if you don't score again you're not going to win this game yeah and uh for a while then you know it stayed for a one i go oh maybe i'm wrong about that no i i was right they needed to score more runs of course they did it took a walk off home run we'll get the call of the walk off and the rest of the action last night and our pot raise wrap up right after this check of traffic on 97 through 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 pod raise win yesterday bannon woods didn't what approved we've got you covered with all of the highlights i like it with a pod raise wait yeah yeah it's the pod raise wrap up presented by hamul casino with rilling slots and tables in all the best rewards hamul casino has all the fun you're looking for hamul casino fun above all else yeah give me a due damage now the two two yellow swings grounds into first base arise has in front of the bag coming home the slide in the tag not in time to rank just in feet first ahead of the tag from louise campusano pod raise of course we'll take a look and see if they want to challenge it it was a bang bang play at home plate many waits here it comes and machado swings hits it in the air to deep right field free look is back towards the corner he's at the wall looking up gonna go three run homer manny machado just like that the pod raise lead it three to one here in the first or two hit in the air deep to right field towards the pole jackson meryl has done it again ninth of the season for meryl goes deep and back-to-back games and has now homered three Tom in his last two games here at pet go markets four to one one and two adama swings into the air to deep center meryl sprinting straight back at the wall it's going to go line drive home run straightaway center field team leading 13th of the season for adamas this is a one-run game now for three in the fifth that's it in the air to deep left field forget it yellow it's not even going to turn around second deck in left and Fernando with his 14th of the year extends the lead 446 feet and his third hit of the night Andre's in front five to three here's the pitch swung on line to the left field yellow to his left wasted in the lights and it gets beyond him Fernando's racing to third he's going to be weighing tautisse on his way home the throw is caught and another missed two defensively for the growers gives the pod raise their sixth run of the night one and one the pitch the rank swings lines it the other way and that is down in front of peralta base it they are going to wave or tease around and he will score just ahead of the throw rbi single brice to rang his third knock of the night it is now six to four here in the eighth inning and you got to figure that'll be all for wandi peralta here's the pitch from astrana it bounces in kicks away and the run is going to score the yellowch in from third behind the play bowers goes to second a wild pitch and now a six to five game here's the two two hoskin swings muscles it in the air to deep left field as Zokar's going back he will leap up can't make the catch hits against the wall this will tie the game powers has scored hoskins into second with an rbi double and it's six to six pitch number seven on the way and kronoword swings hit it in the air to deep right field way back good to go for the third consecutive game here at petco park the pod raise and a walk off home run he got xioka and meryl and now jake kronoword throws his helmet as he approaches home plate the pod raise beat the brewers seven to six pretty impressive pretty amazing grit squad strikes yeah i mean especially coming back bought the whole way down you know maser battle get the lead right back extend extend had it late can't hold on to it right and just found a way clearly a big swing by crony and third walk off and row at home all right good stuff memorable the story probably indeed it was after a little bit of research they found out that is the first time in pod raise franchise history that they've had three consecutive home games end with walk off home runs of course the first two happened at the end of the last home stand against the Oakland A's kyla gosh yoka jacks and meryl and now jake kronoword keeps the streak going who's gonna make it tonight four in a row with another walk off do we have to have a walk off we don't we actually just win a normal game and hold a lead in the ninth and have our bullpen not give up any runs and yeah that would be the the preferable uh prescription for a victory tonight but we all realize baseball does not work that way hey you're gonna blow a lead at least have the walk off after the feeling of deflation when they tied the game off of a strata in my home by me was painful i mean it was it was

battered right now man and i was looking up some numbers of some of the guys in there and look as much as we want Yuki Matsui to be uh the guy i just don't know that he's the guy right now i'm not saying he's never going to be the guy but then he has got he's got a four ERA in 34 appearances okay he's pitched 31 and a third innings he has struck out 27 not bad he's walked 20 batters 20 batters that is unacceptable and so many of those feel like they were the first batter of the inning yeah man 100 which just puts you in such a bad spot now i i haven't seen the numbers but it feels like when

the next inning and walks two batters and then one run comes around to score and then De La Santos comes in and he gets a big strike out and then Jeremiah Strata obviously who uh and and Mike Schiltz

27 outs to win that the baseball game doesn't mean you have to you know hold everybody in check but you have to get to the finish line and the pod race needed someone to get to the finish line and even though he gave up the two runs he did come up with two big strikeouts to at least get it to six six to the bottom of the ninth where jate kronor worth wanted so while he didn't do what the way you would like it to be done he did enough that the pod race were able to win that game it sometimes didn't cough it up sometimes you have to win games like that that was always going to be a game as i said you got to score seven eight runs to win that game with major on the mound against a brewer's team like that that was never going to be a three to one win just it wasn't there's no way and and the pod race got to the finish line it wasn't always pretty it all wasn't exactly how you draw it up but they got to the finish line of the game last night and that's what's most important the finish of course was fantastic we already heard jesse's call poly's got a couple of other options for us here yes how about we start let's go to don we'll start with the tv call three two-picture kronor in the air to be broke filled for kronor worth back to us a ball into the kronor zone and go on pod race walk it off you knew don would work the kronor zone somewhere in there i had to uh let's do we have the brewers call brewers television call that's not going to be as happy it was very it was a hung pitch it was very hung that was very hung and then of course we can't do the montage of walk-offs without our friends from korea pickled it i would also like to do their second baseman tareng tareng i would like to thank him for booting that double play ball that crony hit in the first yeah you know it's often times baseball is the game where if you take advantage of the mistake the brewers couldn't take advantage of adam major in the first the potteries took advantage of a tiny bobble and allowed them to keep the first inning going and still damn near got crony at first i mean it was a close close play at first base but holy smokes many comes up next hits the three run bomb and pod race are often rolling but what a that was an that was a that was a hell of a game hell of a first game and what should be a good series holy cow all right we got to dylan cease on the mound
