And we kick off our number three at Gwyn and Chris with that sounder indicating that the Padres have a lineup out today. If you haven't been listening to the show, till now, you're going to be a little surprised at the Padre lineup today. Yeah, because there's some names in there that you probably didn't know or even on the Padres. Why don't you go ahead and give the lineup and then we'll give the we'll give the the newsworthy items that make this lineup interesting. All right, we got Luis Ariz leading off. No surprise there playing first base. Jerkson Profar is in the lineup playing left field. Manny Machado is playing third base batting third. Jake Croton worth cleaning up today or hitting or playing second base. This goes along with the theme of the show. Donovan's got to clean up and hitting fourth. Yes, he's got to clean up hitting fourth and he's he's hitting second base, Chris. Donovan Solano is DH Jackson Merrill center field, Haas on Kim shortstop Higashiyoka catcher and then Bryce Johnson in right field. He's a switch hitter. Who's that? Bryce Johnson, Bryce Johnson. Yeah, a lot of people might say, who is that? Well, he just got to called up to the big leagues by the Padres and he's playing right field because Fernando Tatis Jr. has been placed on the injured list and may be there for a while. Yeah, crying notwithstanding. Fernando, some Kevin A.C. and nobody's reporting that he's going to be out till after the all-star break, but people are reporting that it could very well be until after the all-star break. I guess it kind of sort of makes sense because you're letting him, yeah, he's been trying to play through his quad injury for a couple weeks now, but it kind of sort of makes sense just to let him heal up all the way. Well, hopefully they can hang in there, you know? The other thing, I mean, the other guy that is concerning to me is pro far right now, Tony and I talked about this. I don't know how healthy he is right now. I mean, he just looks like that knee could go on him at any moment. I maybe I'm overly concerned, but you know, he's playing through some pain. There's no question. You watch him run and everything he does is, you know, he's doing it gingerly. And so he's not anywhere near 100% right now. And I don't know, you know, how he's going to get that knee better if he doesn't take some time off, but there's no way jerks and Provar wants to take time off now. He's making a push to get on his first all-star team. Oh, yeah. I was at the game yesterday watching jerks and very closely, and there are a couple balls to to left field that I thought maybe if he was healthy, he would be able to sprint and possibly dive and get there, but he wasn't even sprinting in. I'm not saying he's not trying. I'm just saying it. No, I don't think he can. I don't think he can sprint right now. That's what Tony said. When he gets into sprint mode is when it pains him the most. Yeah, he was on second base. Yesterday, man, he got a base hit to center field. Provar stopped a third and there was no chance that he was coming in. Yeah, and he was just staying a third. At a certain point though, I guess you don't have anybody who's better who's going to replace him. No, you got to be willing to let go of the defense if you want his bat. Yeah, with Fernando going on the injured list, you've got to have Provar right now. Matt Waldron is pitching tonight. So that's the good news for the Padres. Patrick Corbin is pitching for the Nationals, which would be good news. We're not for the fact that he's left-handed. Here's some other good news. We have a chance for you to win some Padre national tickets for tomorrow's game. So stick around for your chance to do that tomorrow's game, by the way, featuring the Hassan Kim bobblehead giveaway. Yeah, if you're one of the first 40,000 fans tomorrow night, that's what you will receive. Grab tickets at Padres.com/tickets or stay tuned to the program. Your chance to win is coming up soon. Now, we've got another chance for you to win. Right now, chance to win a trip to Las Vegas. And I have an extra prize that I just found. Gonna give it away now and Chris versus the fans. If you had one shot, one opportunity to take down the human all-man act himself, how would he do? Now is your time. Listen to me, this guy, he's dangerous. Now is your opportunity to win a prize. Well, I hope you know what you're in for. Chris versus the fans starts now on 97-3, the fan. Let's talk at the same time because that's the way it shows gone. Usually, I take it. It's been a disaster today. I mean, honestly, and there's no way to start over. Now, once it starts kind of rolling downhill, it's been gaining momentum. You're going to be qualified for a chance to win a grand prize. Two nights stay at the fountain blue, fountain blue Las Vegas. Tickets either hoodie in the blowfish or smashing pumpkins. That's at the Blue Live Theater, also a $150 poolside dining credit. I like that. Summer room packages, tickets available now, fountainblue Las Vegas.com. All right, the rules. No, I thought you were giving away something else. Yeah, I'll tell you right now, then. I'll save Chris from having to read that second part. Summer just said in the chat, which is accurate. Worst lineup reading of all time, which was accurate. Oh, I mean, but it goes along with the... I typed back. I said, if you're not following the theme of the show, it's been a dumpster fire. Oh, come on now. Speak for yourself. I've been a dumpster fire. Speak for yourself on that one. I'm not going that far down. I went to physical therapy this morning. I got the stitches taken out of my arm. I'm blaming it on that. You're two weeks removed from shoulder surgery. You have every excuse to not be able to talk. Thank you. You're right. You're right. My shoulder is usually where I go through the talk. So yeah, it makes perfect sense to me. All right, the second prize is a four pack of tickets to Field of Dreams in concert on July 19th at the radio show at Jacobs Park. Watch the movie with the Academy Award-winning score performed live by the San Diego Symphony Orchestra. Tickets are on sale now at theshell.org. That's kind of cool. You know who wants to win that? You? Know my wife. She likes the... She likes the radio show. Oh, yeah, it's awesome. She likes going to listen to music there. She also loved the movie Field of Dreams. Now, my wife is a good sports fan, as you know, but not overly crazy about it. I'll never forget. We went to see Field of Dreams. Remember the last scene he plays catch with his dad? I don't. I'm sorry. Okay, he plays catch with his dad, then they pull back and they have the the lights of the cars are streaming into the stadium. Okay, that's just coming to me. Yeah, and Shoeless Joe is there. Shoeless Joe. Anyway, my wife is... I look over, she's balling her eyes out. She's crying. Balling her eyes out. Like, can't get her breath. Really? That kind of crying. It was a tears of joy, right? Yeah. She's happy. I don't know. I never would have been able to explain it. I didn't cry at Field of Dreams. She loved Field of Dreams. So that is hilarious. If you don't want these tickets, give them to my wife. She will love having them. Give us the rules and then let's get on the game. Yes. The rules are you have to make it through three questions. Each question is going to get more difficult. If you get the question right, you move on. If you get it wrong and Chris gets it right, you're eliminated. But if Chris gets it wrong, then you move on to the next question or you win. Here we go. What about if you're a first time player? Let us know before you get into it and you'll get the first question for free. I will go with Christopher. Hello, Christopher. How are you? Hello? How are we doing, Chris? Hey. Yeah. Hey, Chris. How's it going? Good, Chris. Are you ready to play, sir? Yes, sir. See who on my blood gets today. Wait, say it one more time? You guys here, babe? Yeah. Yeah. Let's just play. Okay. We'll play. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I'll go on the road right now. Coming down. Oh, don't coming down. Yeah. Ramona. Sorry for the no. I don't know. We might get cut off. Okay. We'll get going here. Who won the US Open Golf tournament last weekend? We're two weekends ago, I should say. You there? Chris. Do we lose you? Hey, Chris. I'd have lost him. I think we lost him. Nah. I'm gonna put him on a hold. Maybe we'll come back to him. Maybe come back to him. Give it a good idea. Do you like how he's still busting? Give a buzz anyway. That was weird of me. Yeah. It's all right. Fair. Let's go to Tom and Miramace. We'll come. We'll try again. Try with Chris again. Tom, how you doing, man? I'm doing great. Doing great. If I win, I'll share the tickets with your wife, all right? You share with my wife. All right, Tom. I'll take that under advisement. That was funny. All right, Tom. Here we go. Question number one. I'll ask you. Do we say the answer? I don't think we did. Who won the US Open two weekends ago? Bryson DeChambeau. Bryson DeChambeau is correct. He's on top of the world right now. He's walking around downtown Nashville with his US Open trophy on his side. That would be sweet. I got to say. Sure be nice of you. He's on the tour. Yeah. Okay, here we go. Question number two. Jose's Jose Consecos last season was in 2001 for what ALT? Oh my god. You said 2001? Correct. What ALT? Who did he finish up with? I'm going to guess White Sox? White Sox is correct. No, it is. I don't think you have enough time to actually look that up. But that was pretty good. That was pretty good. I got to say. Jose Consecos honestly stopped with every franchise on his way out the door. So very good of you to get there. Very nice. Yes. Nicely done. I bet my wife better start packing her bags. She's giving us a new life. So getting the picnic baskets together. Looking like Tom might have a winner here. All right. Here we go. Question number three. I wanted to ask this one for a while. But since your tickets to a movie are on the line, here we go. In the fish that saved Pittsburgh, what was the team nickname for the Pittsburgh basketball team that Dr. J and Metalarck Lemon played for? Oh my god. The fish that saved the Pisces. Chris, you better watch your wife. He's correct. Wow. You got to stay there, Tom. I'm going to get your information in the break. Stay right there. Good job, Tom. That was pretty good. I mean that movie. I vaguely remember that movie myself. Let alone know the name of the team in the movie. I remember when I saw this question. I knew I had to ask it because we have talked about the fish that saved Pittsburgh on the show before. Yes, we have as a Dr. J movie back in the day. Yeah, but it was kind of a goofy movie. I don't recall it, you know, standing the test of time or anything like that. I have yet to see it on Netflix. I think Tom might be. I mean, I'm honest. I'm going out on the limb right now. Tom is in the photo for the greatest contestants we've ever had. Top five. Yeah. Those were the last two were really tough questions and he nailed them both. Good job, Tom. I got to see. Oh, let me just make sure. I'm going to make sure my wife has something else to do on July 19th. You guys are out of town, right? I hope so. It could be in trouble. Nice job by Tom there. Very good. He wins Chris vs. the fans today. He also wins 2 to 4 pack of ticks to see field dreams in concert at the rainy shell. You will enjoy that, Tom. It's a great venue down there by the Bay San Diego as it were, which is where we were the other day. Scrabby enjoying a little birthday celebration for yours truly. Hey, I got to say and apparently now that I've turned a new age, I really just don't can't host a smooth box show anymore. It just hasn't been going on. I got to say, I was the one who was likely going to give away the location of your birthday leading up to your birthday, but I did not. And I got to say, I am very proud of myself because I we probably would have had a pretty good turnout. We would have had a good turnout for sure. Yeah. Do you want to say where it was? Sure. We can say now. Yeah, go for it. We were at Spiro's and going on and we had a great time. Yes, it was great. It was great. Had a really good time. And April, whose name I mentioned on all of our ads, yes, April is the catering director and owner of Spiro. She takes care of us. And she is great. Not only that's what made for a great party. Did she take care of us? But she took care of each in every customer, like singularly, like when person by person asked some of my, some of my, some of my friends are a little picky is what you're saying. And she was willing to take care of them. They're their own their own wants and needs. Yes. Yes. Yes. April did a great job and we had a great time in Spiro's. So thank you to everyone at Spiro's. Thanks to everyone who got involved in Christopher's, the fans today, but especially Tom and Mira Mesa, who takes home today's title. We'll take a quick break. Morgan and Chris headed your way.

Also, still to come on this show, a chance for you to win two tickets to tomorrow night's Padres. Washington Nationals games stay close to the phone. Yeah, stay close. Scrabby, do you know whose 40th birthday it is today by any chance? 40th birthday. I know this. Hold on. The young age of 40. A JJ Redick. That is correct. Yes. JJ Redick is 40 years old today is also introduced as the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. JJ Redick said, among other things today, the podcast with Ron James will continue. Oh, yes. They're not. I just hurt myself. I was so excited. No, they're not going to do it. No, really? You just made me hurt myself for a fake thing. Yeah, I did. I didn't think you'd react quite so statically wanting this. I was going to say they're going to do the podcast at half time of each game. That would be amazing. No, they're not doing the podcast anymore. Said Redick, my goal. Guess what his goal is as coach of the Lakers. I would hope wins. Win what? The championship. No kidding. And the last coach to take a job and say, you know, my goal is to like be mediocre for a couple years, win 35 games would be good. Get the number one pick next year. No, he says his vote. His goal is to win a championship. That's what he signed up for. Okay, good. So we'll see. If that happens, I've heard a lot of trade rumors about, you know, rampant around the Lakers, though, I don't know if any of them are true. What? Like what? Oh, oh, yeah, over the weekend, tell everybody about what I have the one I saw for the weekend was, and it's, it said it came from Woj. And Woj is usually right. But he said that the bulls and the Lakers were talking about Derosin and Zach Levine, basically for Anthony Davis. I don't know if I like that for either side, frankly, I don't think that's enough for the Lakers. And I don't think Anthony Davis by himself could do anything for the bulls. Oh my gosh. Can you imagine? Sorry. You are really having problems. Can you imagine the guy that you've been irked by for the past couple years, Anthony Davis goes to the polls, I'd be like, no, you would have to watch him every time he tries every year. That guy. Yeah, so I don't know, you know, if they're gonna make a trade or not, I don't think Derosin and Zach Levine and bringing them to play with LeBron's gonna give the Lakers anything. I love Derosin. I don't love Zach Levine. What's wrong with Zach Levine? He doesn't guard anybody. Oh, well, he's a good and he's an inconsistent shooter. He's all right, but he's inconsistent. He's not a, to me, he's not a knockdown shooter that you can count on. He's very inconsistent in my mind. He's he's a highlight real dunker, but I don't know that anybody's ever won a championship because you have a highlight real dunker. It sounds fun and it makes for good clips on the TV. But anyway, that's my thought. Well, wasn't he the guy that the bulls are leaning on with help for him not to be the guy? Oh, Zach Levine was the guy. He's not good enough to be the guy. And that's been proven in Chicago. Because they haven't won a thing was Zach Levine. So it would benefit him to go to a team where he might benefit him. I don't know that he being with the Lakers. If you were a Laker fan, would you want Zach Levine and and Demar Derosin? If it cost you Anthony Davis, how do they get want that? Anthony Davis is trying to think officially one of the top 75 players in the history of the league. According to, you know, that list of a couple years ago, you know, I can't say that I haven't seen that because there are certain times when I do see that. But all right, I'm not a fan of Anthony Davis either, especially in a consistent basis. But there are nights he puts up 30 points and 28 rebounds with 10 blocked shots and totally dominates a game. I don't see it very often. Yeah. Anyway, Lakers have their man and JJ Redick says he's in it to win a championship. Makes me feel weird that JJ Redick is just turning 40. So for for about two weeks there, we were about the same age and JJ Redick is the head coach of the Lakers. You guys are on a very similar life path. I mean, you know, if I had JJ Redick's fame, I think I could do a pretty good podcast. Let me tell you. Does this mean anything to you? Lakers players who attended the news conference today were Spencer Dinwitti Christian Wood and Gabe Vincent. Yeah, that tells me a little bit like where was anybody that's actually on the team? Well, I guess I guess I don't have an issue with it because it's not like this is a plan thing where like these things just come out of nowhere. They hired the guy. I don't know. They knew the press conference was coming for a few days, I would think. Yeah, you would think that LeBron would have his podcast co-hosts back. Where's Anthony Davis? Where's Reeves? What's Reeves got to do with his free time? I don't know. But Spencer Dinwitti and Gabe, isn't Reeves the white mamba now? I think he is. Minnesota, excuse me, Minnesota Timberwolves, coast, Chris Finch, last scene hobbling around behind the Minnesota bench because he had his knee ligaments torn out during the playoffs. That's brutal. Yeah, Mike Conley collided into him during the opening round against Phoenix, but he's reas extended a four-year contract extension. Kenny Atkinson, do you know who he is? He's the new head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. I always want to call him the Cleveland cadavers because I always thought it was one of my favorite nicknames back in the day when they were really bad. Cavaliers are bringing in Golden State assistant Kenny Atkinson. Next coach of the Cavs. Kenny Atkinson has been... Why do I know his name? Well, he sits right there next to Steve Kerr, and you just kind of know who he is. But he's been rumored to be a head coach two or three times in the past. He's been Kerr's top assistant since 2021. Anyway, that's some NBA news. WNBA news, by the way, yesterday, I got to hand it to her when I got to hand it to her. Sure. Angel Reese got the better of Caitlin Clark with a brilliant performance. Yeah. 26 and 15, I think it was. Yeah, she had a lot of rebounds. She had a big game and the Chicago won. Here's the thing though with the WNBA. I don't know the standings by heart. I check them out. I know Connecticut's having a good year. New York also, and I think Minnesota. But say what you will about Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, and all these young players. Chicago, Indiana, when they play, that's the must watch game of the season. Oh, yeah. Regardless of the fact that their records are in the middle of the pack or below. Yeah, I agree. Those are the two teams everybody wants to see play. And that was the highest rated game. It was the highest attended game. It was just, you know, amazing. I don't know what these kids are doing in the WNBA. I appreciate the veterans want to, you know, them to pay their dues. But the veterans should also be realizing that their league is getting a whole lot of ink thanks to these players. It's just is what it is. Wouldn't it kind of be similar in some sort of way, like the players who played in the NFL in the 80s who didn't make nearly as much money as this guy being all angry at the guys for making money now? Well, you know, I mean, these are these players are driving everything up. Yeah. Interest ratings. And guess what comes next? Salaries. It just does. I mean, the league makes more money. The players will make more money. Yeah. So, you know, I'm not saying you have to, you know, give Caitlin Clark a big hug every time you see her. Hi, Chris Dello, Tony Gwen Jr. Matt Scrabie, Gwen and Chris, 97 three, the fan. Bad news I spoke of concerning the Padres Fernando Tatisse 10 day injured list. Hopefully that's all it is. But some of the reports are saying could be through the all-star break that the Padres are without Fernando. That's bad news. So is this you Darvish scheduled to start tomorrow coming off the injured list will not be coming off the injured list and will not be starting tomorrow night at a major will start in his place as he has been doing. Jose Azocar was sent down today replaced by Bryce Johnson on the roster and Bryce Johnson will be in the lineup tonight for the Padres against the Nationals. Johnny burrito is also sent down. Yes, you're right. Johnny burrito is also sent down today. Lots of movement on the lot of crazy moves, but you know, through it, all the Padres managed to be a 500 team for good for good or bad. All they need to do is just hang on until they all start break. Okay, get the reset and let's go. All they have to do is hang on to the final week of the season and then win their last seven games. That's true. And they would probably make the playoffs under those circumstances. They do like the pressure. All right. We like the pressure too, but first we're going to check some traffic before we get to today's big stuff in the big five. It's that time of the show when we check on the latest in sports. Only the most important topics and questions are brought to light. Stop what you're doing and listen. These news stories will astound and amaze you. The one. The only. Oh my god. Who the hell cares. The big five starts now on 97 three. The fan. All right. So a pretty good pretty pretty pretty good weekend for the Padres against the Brewers. They took three of four games and don't look now. I'm not doing this board running thing. Very good today guys. So as you have been doing all show, thank you for sticking with me to make sure the pot was up before I played that. The Padres are just one game under 500 at home this season after taking as I said, three or four from the Brewers. We were just talking a few weeks ago about how the Padres need to play better at home and they have done that recently. Chris, what are they doing different at home in the last few weeks? Oh, scoring more runs. Well, that's that's the other team. Yes. Thank you. Well, I mean, first of all, they're actually at 500 at home because one of the losses was in Korea. That was a home game. Correct. So actually, the number of games they played at Petco. Good point. They're 500, which is the same story on the road now. Tony's been talking about it for two weeks. This is just everything finding its way back to normal. It was it made no sense for the longest time why they were six or seven games over 500 on the road and the opposite at home. As I told you then, and I'll tell you now, very few teams, if any, will finish this season with a better record on the road than they do at home. It just doesn't normally work out that way. I think the the Astros last year were the last case of a team really being lopsided in favor of their road record. So I don't think it's anything different. Probably the one thing that stands out is that when you're home, you get the bat last and that means you can hit walk off home runs in three straight games and the other team can't do anything about that. So, you know, this is just, you know, baseball finding its way back to normal. And, you know, this is the most unsurprising thing of all is that the Padres are now 500 at home, 500 on the road, 500 in Korea, and 500 overall. I mean, that's just that's the story of this season, tone, right? That time, what do you think? You know, as Chris likes to say, it has was it water has found its level. I'm trying not to say that this year because it really didn't work last year. Well, I mean, we I think they've proven it time and time again at this point that water will eventually find its level. And so, I think that it's a good and bad thing. If you can have a 500 record on the road, and so, you know, start to play better on the road again, that's a boon, especially if you're going to play over 500 at home. And I think that formula gets you in, the playoffs, one way or another, you know, your above, above 500 at home, at 500 on the road, I think you're going to the playoffs. And I think that's a good thing. I think right now what has been most impressive is potters are doing this dance with a lot of dudes not being 100% and banged up. And it was just the pitching staff there for a while. Now it's made its way into the position player pool, yet they're still doing the same exact thing. You just hoping that once they get fully healthy, that this team really starts to take off then. Good answers, guys, to a pretty lackluster question. Number four, well, let's talk about real quick the Blake Snell and the giant stuff that's going on right now, because he was talking to the media yesterday after he pitched just an inning and two thirds against the sacrament or for the Sacramento Rivercats on Sunday, he'll have three hits, two run runs while walking three batters. He didn't record any strikeouts. He is on the aisle with a groin strain. And he threw 51 pitches, he was pretty frustrated after the outing. And he kind of sort of alluded to possible pressure from the Giants to return before he's ready. So he told San Francisco Chronicle, Shayna Rubin, quote, "I haven't felt like myself yet. It's just we need you. We need you. We need you. It's not like let's get them right. And I have to deal with it. I want to be healthy and 100% and I haven't been. I've just been fighting to rush back. So that's my take. I'm frustrated with that. And you don't get the product of what I should be and it's just frustrating. I want to go out there and dominate and pitch the way that I pitch, but it's more important than I'm out there." End quote. Tony, you're up first. Is Blake Snell right to be irked about the organization pushing him to come back? I don't know whether he's right or not, but those of us got to know Blake saw this coming, right? Like Blake is, he wants to compete. In some ways, he's a people pleaser, right? I mean, he wants to, as he's trying to make this call, but when you when you are signing this late into the season and you don't have a spring training, right? You are playing catch up the whole time. It's no different than what we saw with Joe and you Darvish a few years back. It was that last year. It was last year. Yeah, you Darvish was in your last year too. But so, I mean, it's not even the injuries. It's just, you know, world baseball classic. You're not, you know, broken toe and like you're not getting the regular deal. You set yourself up to be playing catch up and that's what Blake is doing. I don't know that any great pitcher or not is immune to, you know, not getting the right kind of work beforehand. And so, you know, now I think he's suffering the consequences of it a little bit and I'm sure it's a little frustrating for him. You know, you also understand where the Giants are coming from, right? I mean, this is a division, a league that, you know, you're still in it from a wild car perspective and you just, you made the big splash to bring him on and he kind of needed. But at some point though, I think Blake ends up being right on this, right? Ultimately, do you want him at the level that you've seen him at? Or do you want to just keep trying to push this thing and have him back as soon as possible? It may at the end be better to let him kind of go at his own pace, get himself ready. And then, you know, come back and you can have a better chance of getting the Blake Snell we saw the last two years here in San Diego. Chris, what do you think about Blake Snell? The question, but you can take it anywhere you want. Is he right to be irked about the organization pushing him to come back? First of all, before you ask that question, I heard a really loud, breathe breath by you in. Me? Yeah, it was kind of like this. Chris, is, and I just wanted you to know that you're not, I'm not the only one that breathes loud from time to time. I'm going to have to go back and listen to this. Yeah, it was pretty, you know, I can understand why you're irked by that from time to time. And it really threw me, Scrab. I had no idea. I just got reversed on this. Yes, reverse, reverse the curse. I think the giants need to be quiet. And it's not easy for them to be quiet. But in this situation, you have to just lay back and let Blake Snell get right. Because if you continue to rush him back or try to rush him back, then any negative results that he has are going to eventually kind of wind up back on you. And I think he's got that in his mind right now that he's not ready and they keep bringing him back and he keeps pitching poorly. And it's going on his record. But it's because they're rushing him. I was trying to compare this to something with a relationship, a marriage. I don't have the specific comparison, but I will tell you this. There are times when my wife, I don't feel is 100% right about something. Oh, where are we going? Yeah, I'm going to just leave this really general. But there's times when I I don't think she's right about something. I really want her to do something. But I feel like she's got to come up with the idea first. Yeah. Because if I'm the one that comes in and says, you know, I think you should do this, it's probably going to be met with. Ah, so I think that's kind of where the giants are with Blake Snell. I really think they just have to sit back, bite their tongue, let him come back so that he doesn't get to keep going. So that's kind of where it's at. All right. And buyer beware, again, when you're going to spend this kind of money on pictures. And no matter who it is, because, you know, I mean, you couldn't get a better guy than the defending saw young award winner, but man, the giants have really paid for it. Yes. There you go. Moving on to number three. So we actually got two golf topics here in the big five today. But yesterday in the PGA tour, they were playing in Connecticut, six climate protesters stormed the 18th green. While the tournament leaders were lining up their putts to finish the final hole in regulation at the traveler's championship, delaying the finish for a long five minutes, guys, it was really long. But the protesters, I will say this for the golfers. It was scary. The protesters came came out from all directions around the green with waving smoke bombs and left red and white residue on the putting surfaces. But you could see the golfers kind of like, what is happening? This guy running through the bunker with a big smoke bomb. So they did arrest these people. They are, they said no golf on a dead planet is what was on their shirt. So they're trying to get across that. We need to do stuff about climate change, which it's really hot today. I don't I don't blame I don't blame anyone. But Chris, are these people actually getting their point across? I don't think so. You know, I'm just going to go back to protesters in general. To me, most protesters pick the world's worst spot to try to make a change. And you know, I'm going to give Jerry Seinfeld was doing his stand up a couple of weeks ago in Australia in front of tens of thousands, you know, at some stadium in Australia. Protesters were screaming, you know, that this that and the other and the the Middle East was the main topic of their protest. And Jerry Seinfeld finally fired back and said, you know what? You guys are right. If comics to come around, we can cure everything in the Middle East. And what he meant to say is you're wasting everybody's time. This isn't the platform for it. This isn't the place to get something like this done. So a waste of everybody's time yesterday, kind of a scary moment for the golfers. If you have if you have to protest something, do it in the proper way. Don't ever ever throw a smoke bomb on a green like that. That was a prestigious green. Having said that, you know, my feeling about golf courses. What about them? We have far too many of them. Oh, gosh. This was a nice one, though. Yeah. Okay. Well, then then get rid of one of the uglier ones nearby. I can do that. I can do that. I can do that. There are so many golf courses and they take up a lot of water to stay looking the way they do. Do you play? I don't know many golf courses anymore. Do you don't like to put any water in your courses, the two players? Maybe the greens. Tony, are these people getting their point across? I mean, we're talking about it. We know. Yes. We know what I mean, we know what they were protesting. So I guess they are getting their point across. I mean, from a player standpoint, I'll, you know, I'd never had anybody run on the field while I was playing. Yeah. But I always felt like, you know, that could turn ugly because I know if I felt threatened, I'm not going to ask any questions. I'm getting off the first shot. If you're running towards me and you don't have the right demeanor as you approach, yes, I've always told myself, we'll ask questions later. And I've had teammates that have actually had this and it's been, it's not been good for whoever ran on the on the on the field, on the field, because it's dangerous. You just, you don't know. I mean, I'm old enough to remember, remember Monica Sellis being stabbed on the court. Like that, I'm sure she didn't know what was happening was this dude was approaching her, right? Like so, I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean, I just think that could be a very scary situation. It can also can also be a, can also be a very heroic situation. If you are Rick Monday, I mean, this is way back, but Rick Monday, the rest of his life was heroic for this, was in the 70s at a Dodger game, and he was actually playing for the Cubs at the time, and some protesters ran out on the field and tried to burn the American flag out in center field. Wow. And Rick Monday raced over before his nation snatched the flag and ran off and ran off into the history books. Man, that seems a little bit more serious. It was a little serious, but Rick Monday was, I mean, like I said, this followed Rick Monday throughout his life. It's that time of the show when we check on the latest in sports, only the most important topics and questions are brought to light. Stop what you're doing and listen. These news stories will astound and amaze you. The one, the only. Oh my God. Who the hell cash the big five starts now on 97 three, the fan. All right. So a pretty good, pretty, pretty, pretty good weekend for the Padres against the Brewers. They took three of four games and don't look now. I'm not doing this board running thing very good today, guys. So as you have been doing, I'll show thank you for sticking with me to make sure the pot was up before I played that. The Padres are just one game under 500 at home this season after taking, as I said, three or four from the Brewers. We were just talking a few weeks ago about how the Padres need to play better at home. And they have done that recently. Chris, what are they doing different at home in the last few weeks? Scoring more runs. Well, that's. Yes. Thank you. Well, I mean, first of all, they're actually at 500 at home because one of the losses was in Korea. That was a home game. Correct. So actually, the number of games they played at Petco. Good point. They're 500, which is the same story on the road now. Tony's been talking about it for two weeks. This is just everything finding its way back to normal. It made no sense for the longest time why they were six or seven games over 500 on the road and the opposite at home. As I told you then, and I'll tell you now, very few teams, if any, will finish this season with a better record on the road than they do at home. It just doesn't normally work out that way. I think the Astros last year were the last case of a team really being lopsided in favor of their road record. So I don't think it's anything different. Probably the one thing that stands out is that when you're home, you get the bat last, and that means you can hit walk off home runs in three straight games and the other team can't do anything about that. So this is just baseball finding its way back to normal. And this is the most unsurprising thing of all is that the Padres are now 500 at home, 500 on the road, 500 in Korea, and 500 overall. I mean, that's just that's the story of this season tone, right? That's what do you think? You know, as Chris likes to say, it has was it water has found its level? I'm trying not to say that this year because it really didn't work last year. I mean, I think they've proven it time and time again at this point that water will eventually find its level. And so I think that it's a good and bad thing. If you can have a 500 record on the road and so, you know, start to play better on the road again, that's a boon, especially if you're going to play over 500 at home. And I think that formula gets you in the playoffs, one way or another, you know, your above home, above 500 at home, at 500 on the road, I think you're going to the playoffs. And I think that's a good thing. I think right now what has been most impressive is Padres are doing this dance with a lot of dudes not being 100% and banged up. And it was just the pitching staff there for a while. Now it's made its way into the position player pool, yet they're still doing the same exact thing. You just hoping that once they get fully healthy, that this team really starts to take off then. Good answers, guys, to a pretty lackluster question. Number four, let's talk about real quick. The Blake Snell and the Giants stuff that's going on right now, because he was talking to the media yesterday after he pitched just an inning and two thirds against the sacrament or for the Sacramento Rivercats on Sunday, he'll have three hits, two run runs while walking three batters. He didn't record any strikeouts. He is on the aisle with a groin strain. And he through 51 pitches, he was pretty frustrated after the outing. And he kind of sort of alluded to possible pressure from the Giants to return before he's ready. So he took he told a San Francisco Chronicle, Shayna Rubin, quote, I haven't felt like myself yet. It's just we need you, we need you, we need you. It's not like let's get him right. And I have to deal with it. I want to be healthy and 100% and I haven't been. I've just been fighting to rush back. So that's my take. I'm frustrated with that. And you don't get the product of what I should be. And it's just frustrating. I want to go out there and dominate and pitch the way that I pitch. But it's more important than I'm out there. End quote, Tony, you're at first is Blake Snell right to be irked about the organization pushing him to come back. I don't know whether he's right or not. But those of us got to know Blake saw this coming, right? Like Blake is, he wants to compete. He in some ways, he's a people pleaser, right? I mean, he wants to as he's trying to make this call.

So a waste of everybody's time yesterday, kind of a scary moment for the golfers. If you have if you have to protest something, do it in the proper way. Um, don't ever ever throw a smoke bomb on a green like that. That was a prestigious green. Having said that, you know, my feeling about golf courses. What about them? We have far too many of them. Oh, gosh. This was a nice one, though. Yeah, it's okay. Well, then then get rid of one of the uglier ones nearby. I can do that. I can do that.

If you're running towards me and you don't have the right demeanor as you approach, yes, I've always told myself, we'll ask questions later. Now, and I've had teammates that have actually had this and it's been, it's not been good for whoever ran on the, on the, on the field, on the field because it's dangerous. You just, you don't know. I mean, I'm old enough to remember, remember Monica Sellers being stabbed on the court. Like that, I'm sure she didn't know what was happening was this dude was approaching her, right? Like so, I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean, I just think that could be a very scary situation. It can also be a, it can also be a very heroic situation. If you are Rick Monday, I mean, this is way back, but Rick Monday, the rest of his life was heroic for this was in the 70s at a Dodger game, and he was actually playing for the Cubs at the time, and some protest ran out on the field and tried to burn the American flag out in center field. Wow. And Rick Monday raced over before his nation snatched the flag and ran off and ran off into the history books. Man, that seems a little bit more serious. It was a little serious, but Rick Monday was, I mean, like I said, this followed Rick Monday throughout his life. I mean, still does. Yeah, I bet you he never had a bad Monday. Not good. That was great. Let's just move on. Not only did climate protesters storm agreeing this weekend, at Live Golf Nashville, Bryson DeChambeau was left baffled while standing on the 15th T as Greg Norman stormed the Live Golf 15th green T to tend the pin during the second round of Live Golf Nashville. Now, Bryson waved off the person because he hadn't, he said after the round, he had no idea it was Greg Norman, but then once he like kind of got and found out that who it was and everything, he was playing into it and he thought it was fun and he was doing the whole happy Gilmore thing with the crowd. On the other side, you have Jon Rom, and he was angry at all the drones flying around. He duck hooked one in the water and then looked up at the drone and said, "Are you kidding me with these effing drones?" And like, went off on the drone. He duck hooked at first and then he said, "Are you kidding me?" Yes, he looked at the drone. I mean, Jon Rom, you signed up for this. I don't understand why you're so mad. Anyway, two very, very, very different personalities. Tony, which personality do you like more for your star golfer? The often angry one or the happy Gilmore? Wait, which way? Happy Gilmore? Well, like Bryson DeChambeau's like the guy who's encouraging the crowd to be loud and interacting with them. That's a good question. I don't know. Maybe the hybrid. The hybrid. I would like a little bit of both. Like, there's some serious disc to you and there's a time and a place, but you could also still get the crowd into some of them. You know, I think they're two entirely different things, right? You got a drone flying over you that is making you uncomfortable and then you got the crowd that's always there. Yeah. All right. Chris, what do you think? Which golfer do you want? I don't know. I'd like in a good reason as to why I duck hooked them. I never had to deal with a drone. It's because of the drones. I still do it. I don't really know. I like Bryson DeChambeau at the moment, but that's that subject to change because he can probably go back to being the other Bryson DeChambeau quickly. I think the only thing I need to say about this is the protesters at the Scotty Scheffler event were at least smart. They didn't do their protest at the live event because then truly nobody would have ever seen them. I have to say the original question for me was going to be is live more entertaining than PGA Tour, right? It might be. I just don't, you know, get to watch it and really know where it is and don't follow it. I see the clips is where I see it. Right. I just need golf to get its act together. And until further notice, you know, I'm going to be down on golf. I don't blame you. Number one, but I can't believe it that I'm kind of a Bryson DeChambeau fan right now. You like him. He's been pretty awesome to fans. Keep an open mind. Things can change. All that. It's as if he's not eating like 7,000 calories. Remember when he was eating 7,000 calories? Yeah, he stopped doing it. He stopped doing that. He stopped getting injured after he stopped doing it. Yeah, I know. He was over there trying to be incredible Hulk and he was in every tournament. He was like, hold on. I need to put this peanut butter sandwich down my gullet right now. All right. Random question. I started watching some of the Olympic trials over the weekend for track and field and swimming and all of that. But we already know Sam Levitt loves his ice dancing and wants to be a nice dancer one. So we're not talking. You're skating. I thought it was. Is that that's different? Yes, it is because I'm dancing. You dance on the ice. Remember Chris, I broke this down years ago. Yeah, you did a great job of it. Which Chris, what is your favorite and it can't be one of the popular sports. It can't be like basketball or track and field swimming. What is your favorite random summer Olympic sport to watch? Summer Olympic. I had an answer ready for you, but it was the lose and that's not in summer Olympics. So I have to come up with Oh, I know one. Okay. That I actually if it's on and they don't show it very often. Yeah, you'll stop. I would pause and watch it for a little while because my my inches is always peaked. Okay. The 50 kilometer walk. That's a good one. I love those guys. When they're modeling a lot. There is a special hip like kind of swerve you got to have when you're doing that walk. I will. I will watch that for a little while. I can't say that I'm, you know, actively rooting for the guy from Bulgaria or whoever it is. But that's a great quote. I'll watch those guys for a little while till they waddle around. It just came to mind. I'll try a couple more, but no, that's pretty good. I'm gonna go with the one of the walks. And you know what? I'm calling on NBC to show a little more of that this year. You know, they show us the marathon. They show us all that. I mean, give me a little walking. Give the speed walkers. I like it. I like it. Yeah. Tony, what's your favorite random summer Olympic sport? I mean, I can't be track and field yourself. It can't be the popular ones, but you could choose a track and field event. The javelin throw. Yeah, because there's a good chance for there's a good chance for injury. Yeah, javelin throw. We have seen some pretty bad javelin injury if you will. Yes. Oh, yeah, javelin. That's a good one. It's a good one. Have you ever actually seen either of you ever tried to throw a javelin? No, I mean, not have come across one very often. Oh, yeah, I have one in my backyard. I can tell you, I tried to throw one once and I don't know why I ran into it, but I wound up to throw it like a baseball, of course. Can't do that. And I hit myself in the back of the head with the tail end of the javelin. You can't throw it like that. Doesn't work. That's really funny. Yeah, be careful if you ever see a javelin. My sport synchronized diving. I love synchronized diving. It's not bad. It's fun. Not only that, those guys are on point. I'm not watching the guys, Chris. Come on. Either way. They're on point. All right, that's it for the big five. When we get back, we'll set you up for this game tonight between Chris's favorite pitcher Patrick Corbin and Matt Waldred next to 97-34. The four? The fan.
