So Cal pregame show jam packed as always gets underway at about 5 35 this afternoon. I want to take a moment to wish a happy anniversary out there to Lori Elo. Lori Elo happy anniversary from your husband Chris Elo. I don't think your anniversary is until October. That's our wedding anniversary. Today is the anniversary of our first date. Many, many, many years ago, I'm doing this for Lori. Thank you. Please do it for her. She'd appreciate it. Now is this a August 13th was the first day that we went out. It was a Saturday night back in the year that was. I'm not going to say what year it was because it ages us 1942. 1942. Yeah, right. Sorry, Lori. It was a long time ago. But we are celebrating our first date anniversary today. So happy anniversary to us. And of course to the lovely one out there, Lori. I'm not congratulations to you guys. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Please don't. But did Lori remember this date or have you remembered it? We've always remembered it. We just always remembered it from the beginning right on through till now. What about both of us? What did you guys do? Did you already say that? It's a little crazy of a story, but she was, she was actually babysitting for some friends of ours. How will we in the movie? I know. She was babysitting for some friends of ours. I offered to come over and barbecue. And so we knew the person both of us knew the person who's how she was staying at. Anyway, they said, OK, they, you know, allowed me to go over. And so I we barbecued. And we had two kids with us, which was interesting because we never ended up having any kids. But we had two kids with us on the night of our first, our first date. That's crazy. So congratulations to us. If you want to know exactly how many years ago it was, you need to know what number Joe Negro wore when he pitched for the Houston Astros. Of course, you make it a question like that. Oh, I got to go look it up. Well, that's what I'm saying. If you're really that interested, you can go look it up. I am. Otherwise, and don't tell everybody. I'm not. You're going to look it up, though. Are you really going to look it up? Yeah. I can't see. I can't find a picture with this number though. There you go. You could be in trouble. Oh, there it is. There you know. Yeah, that's how long and many years ago it was. Shout out to Jackson's parents. Parents were anniversary today of 35 years. Jackson Jackson, Jack, Jack, just chatted in X chatted in. Yes. Oh, happy anniversary to you guys out there. Correct. Correct. August 13th. Can you tell before we forget? Can you tell the story about Adam Clue's son? Oh, yes. Last night I go to the ball game by myself, which I often do go sit up in the press box, hang out, say hi to everybody. Hang out with my winner. Take out with my friend, Mike Winters. And so we drop, yeah, drop names. Anywhere walking through the press, there's a, there is a little press entrance there for the media. Yeah. So we don't have to stand in the long line of all the fans. Sorry about that. It's one of the perks that we get. And sometimes that line is long. Sometimes that can be a little lengthy, but last night it was not. Like everybody else, we have to run our, you know, phone and wallet and everything through the, through the security scanners. And so I was standing there waiting to get my ID scanned, my media credential scanned by the young lady down there. And up from behind me came somebody and said, Hey, look who it is. It's Chris Sello. And you're like, Oh, my God, no. And I turned around and that person who said that was our boss, Adam Clue. And then he really said, I really said, Oh, no, no, it was Adam Clue. And I was like, Oh, Adam, hey. And he goes, yeah, he goes, Hey, this is my son, Ethan. And because I had never met Ethan before. Ethan was maybe, what, five, six, then look a whole lot older than that. He's very into sports. Just like, yeah, I might be seven or eight years old. So Ethan stand in there. And Adam Clue looks at Ethan and goes, Hey, this is, this is Chris Sello. Anything goes, is he on the Gwen and Chris show? And how did you react? I loved it. I thought it was great. That was great. So Adam, I talked before the show and I thought that was really funny. But I guess Ethan listens to like all the station all the time. And he listens like he puts up a Sami loves pre and post game show on the YouTube. And so he's just a fan of everyone, but he had never met you. And I think it's hilarious. And he asked if you were on the you on the Gwen and Chris show. That's me. I love it. Thank you, Ethan. Yes. All right. Let's get into a couple of things here. Padres going again for the victory tonight. It would be their 18th win in the last 21 games if they get it. And we were talking a little bit about this yesterday. Padres have gone 17 and three over the last 20. The only two Padres teams in history ever to have done that. 1989 team, which finished with 89 wins. That was a very good Padres team in 1989. As a matter of fact, probably the best Padres team ever that didn't play in the postseason. 1989. And what happened that year they were way behind. And I don't remember how many games they got behind, but quite a ways behind the Giants in the in the division. And then the Padres went crazy in September that year. They went 17 out of 20 games and it looked like they were going to catch the Giants like the final week of the season. But they came up just short and the Giants won the 1989 division. The Giants then beat the Cubs in the World Series in the playoff that year. And then the Giants that year in 1989 went on to host the earthquake World Series. Yes. Had the Padres caught the Giants in 1989 history might have been different. I mean, what are the odds of having the World Series with two teams in the Bay Area in the spot where the earthquake happened? Incredible. Incredible. The other team that the Padres had that won 17 out of 20 games was the 2005 team. That team finished with only 82 and 80, but won the division before being swept by the Cardinals three zip in the playoffs. So let's see what this year's team that has won 17 out of 20 does. I think they're going to win 90. They might win more scrap if they keep it going. Well, I mean, they're winning every game. They're going to win. If they win every game, they're going to end up winning like 120. I mean, their schedule is so favorable for the end of the season. They're going to Colorado. They come back home. They have a pretty tough week against the twins and the Mets. Then they play a struggling Cardinals team and they play a struggling race team. Then they have the Tigers and the end of the season, Chris, is going to be incredible. The last week of the season is what you're, I think, referring to us when the Padres finished the season with road trip and play at Arizona for three and at Dodgers for three. Yeah. Final week of the season. But you're right. Before that, the Padres schedule is very favorable between here and there. They have some white socks in there. The white socks make an appearance. God forbid we should lose one game to them. 12 to 2 like the Yankees did. No, we'll be angry because we'll be angry, but you and I will somehow get blamed for it and we'll have to hear all the complaining about it. That's fine. By the way, if the Padres win every game the rest of the season, they'll finish with 109 wins. Doesn't matter, though. We learned earlier with Will Leich, that doesn't matter if you win 100 games. Nobody's going for 100 and nobody may win 100 this year in Major League Baseball. It's been that kind of a strange year. All right. Padres send Michael King to the mound tonight against the pirates. Luis Ortiz, right hander, will pitch for Pittsburgh this evening. Pittsburgh has pretty much gone from right in the middle of the race to right on out of the race. Padres have not only improving their position, but pretty much ending it for the Pirates. And then that's how quick things happen before when the Padres win the Pittsburgh. It was a week ago. It was a week ago last Tuesday. They went to Pittsburgh Tuesday last Tuesday afternoon. Pirates were a couple of games out of the wild card. Now the Pirates have lost seven in a row. They're pretty much done. And the Padres, of course, have won all these games and they've improved their position dramatically.

Wow, a lot of crazy stuff happened today. We've got you covered. Download the free Odyssey, App Search 97.3 of the fan. Tap earlier today. That will get you started. I mentioned this last night in the ball game, the two to one victory pro far came up big with the hit on the seventh inning. And he's, you know, I think his his magical run has dimmed just a tad, a tad in the last, you know, three weeks. He had the one great game. Was it in Baltimore? We're at the two home runs, including the opening and they did the gritty pretty much won the ball game. But since the all-star break, pro far hasn't been as good, certainly very good. Average likely says down to 297, etc. But he has still had a flair for coming up with what they need when they need it. And last night, the offense was completely shut down. I mean, Jake Woodford, this guy had never pitched six innings in his life. And he had given up two hits and walked nobody and was cruising right through. The Padres were one guy over the limit in terms of batters faced. I'm surprised that they took them out. He was only at like think like 74 pitches. Well, he like I said, he never pitched in the sixth inning before that alone the seventh. So his first, you know, batter in the seventh inning, pro far rips a double into the corner. And that kind of set the tone and got it going. The reliever came in. Cronin were struck out, but then through a wild pitch. Yeah. And that set pro far over to third. But I just love pro far and how many times he has been in the middle of this thing. That a great shot of him coming off the field at the end of the top of the first inning yesterday after the Padres retired the side. And he just had the smile of a, you know, 14 year old pony league all star on his face. He's just having the time of his life. And he should. He should have the time of his life. It's, you know, it's been a season that's been 12 years in the making for him. And I still think if you voted today, pro far as the team MVP, I know that Merrill has gained a lot of ground. And right now the love for Merrill is off the charts as it should be. Yes. But I think pro far still your team MVP. If the voting were today, there's a, there's still seven weeks to go, though. I think Merrill has potentially moved into the top three and maybe even second because this surge has been that remarkably remarkable. It's been memorable. You don't win four games in a span of six days at the big league level. If you're Albert Pujols, you certainly don't do it if you're a rookie. And to hit three game tying home runs, follow that up by a game saving catch in the span of six days. It has been insane. Now what Merrill has done here. And you know what else arises the leader in the National League at 305. Yeah. Oh, Zuna is 301. Let me make sure of this. Because when I checked yesterday, there's only two guys in the National League that are hitting 300 that have enough qualifiers. That's a rise 303. Oh, Zuna 302. Oh, they're the only ones. Oh, Tani is next at 298. And then could tell Marte pro far 297. Here's what I'm getting at. Jackson Merrill is a 289. He's not that far off having a chance to win the batting title. No. And I know that might be a lot, but he's only got to make up 14 points. And he's in eighth spot right now. Yep. That's what it kind of a season he's having. You know, for the Paul Skins people, I'm sorry. I just don't think he's done enough. Merrill zoomed past him. Now, if we're going to talk, if we're going to get critical about this and really break it down, yeah, we were talking about why Jackson Merrill's not going to hit third over Jake Croninworth. Does does he lose points, you think? Because he hit lower ballot? Yeah, because he hits lower in the lineup and he's not as impactful that way. It's going to take it's going to take somebody a lot of thought to look at it and go, you know what? Jackson Merrill got to perform under less pressure. Yeah. Because but it's not really the statistics that he's putting up are just so good. And he's not really performing under less pressure because the pressure is all on him. He's got to tie the gate or I mean, he's one of the guys in the bottom or the top of the ninth and he's tied the game. Yeah, we shouldn't be saying that he's performing under no pressure. He's just performing with a bunch of other guys who can take more of the spotlight away. Yes, but to say that he hasn't come up and pressure situations. Are you kidding them? He's been as, you know, clutches. There is an entire national league. He really has. So even people like my friends are just like, man, Jackson Merrill, he's going to be good for years to come. And I'm not going to go that far because we're still in this season. No, you never can't tell. But let's just get through this season. Exactly. Right now, my pottery MVP ballot goes pro far Suarez, Merrill third. But it's due it's subject to change. Suarez has been their all year pro far has been their all year. Merrill has joined the conversation. Donovan Solano, honorable mention for MVP. Yeah. Maybe he's got some big hits. MSP, most surprising player. I did not expect anything from Donovan Solano. All right. And we've gotten quite a bit. Yes. No, I cannot put him up there with those other guys. I can't even put up there with Dylan seized or Matt Waldron, honestly. But Solano, when called upon, he has clutched up for sure. All right. When we come back, some NFL notes, there is a young up and coming superstar in the making quarterback whose road to the top took a big detour today. We'll tell you about that. And some other NFL news and notes ahead of tonight's Padre pregame show after traffic on Gwen and Chris. This season, Instacart has your back to school.

Tomorrow, after Padres baseball, so make your plans to join us tomorrow. We will also have a Scrabie Chronicles for you tomorrow night. And guess what? At six o'clock. I will be selecting the winners of Scrabie Data Game 2 tomorrow night. You're taking more people to the ballpark? Yeah. Next Wednesday. I didn't promote this one as well as I should have, but we still got a ton of signups and I appreciate everybody. I think the big draw for the first one was that you told everybody, I was going to make an appearance and then people flock actually to the it was I said Sammy Lev is going to make it. Oh yeah, you say Sammy loves him. Parents that'll draw. Draw him like flies. Yes. For sure. Speaking of Sam Lev, he's got the pre-game show coming up in about 10 minutes. The bad news NFL quarterback news today is Minnesota. J.J. McCarthy, the rookie who dazzled them in the preseason opener, throwing two touchdown passes in a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. McCarthy has come up injured. Apparently had some pain, soreness reported it to the team yesterday. Medical officials have done all of the necessary MRIs and imaging work. And he's out for a while. Tear of the meniscus in his right knee. That's that's too bad. It really is. I mean, the guy gets off to a really nice start his first preseason game, plays 30 snaps. Everything goes according to plan for old friend Kevin O'Connell and McCarthy's reports. Just some soreness on Monday, right? It wasn't any big deal. Like, I might not even reported it. You know what I mean? I'd be like, that's fine. You know, team me up coach. Yeah, but they check him out. He's got a torn meniscus. Doctors are going to decide here in the next few days during the surgery. They're going, he's going to get surgery. They're going to decide during the surgery whether he needs a trim of the meniscus. If that's the case, he gets to come back this season or they'll determine whether he needs a full repair. And if he needs that, see you later until 2025. That's brutal. Yeah, that sucks. I really does. I watched that Vikings game a little bit. He looked good. He looked pretty good from what I saw. I mean, they're showing all the clips of his touchdown passes. No, but it wasn't anything about that. It was about knowing where you were in the pocket. It was about, he was making throws that none of us ever saw at Michigan because he didn't need to make these crazy throws. They never asked him to do anything like that. Jim Harbaugh said he's going to be the best quarterback in the draft. You should take him number one. Everybody laughed. Everybody laughed at Jim Harbaugh. And we're not going to know because it doesn't look like we're going to see JJ McCarthy for some time by the way, if you're wondering who the Vikings quarterback is going to be now. Hello, Sam Darnold. Goodbye Minnesota Vikings playoff hopes. Just Sam Darnold. I'm going to give you a little tip. Just throw it to Justin Jefferson every single time. You wouldn't be a bad strategy. Just throw it up. I mean, this guy has made some catches that are really incredible. So incredible. If you can get it in the neighborhood, he might make a play for you. But I got to be honest with you. Football is great. I love it. I can't wait for it. The whole thing. The Sunday ticket. Our guy Scott Hanson. I'm red zone really Scott Hanson. But too much of football is decided on injuries. You can't predict them. But the team that doesn't get the injuries, especially to the quarterback, those teams are going to win and the teams that get the injuries. But mostly in football, because that's where all the injuries are. If you get them in football, I mean, I'm not making an excuse for the dolphins. They sucked at the end. They lost to the Chiefs. But they did have their entire defense standing on the sidelines. You know, I mean, they had a really good season and a chance to do something taken away because they had just way too many injuries at the end of last season. And the teams that kind of avoid that. And I don't know exactly how you go about avoiding it. How do you say? Well, I don't want any injuries. The Bengals went to the Super Bowl. Now the last what two years they've had Joe Burrow problems. They haven't made it. It you don't know. And if you look at the Vikings, I mean, I don't know if they could keep up with the Packers or the Lions. But they certainly can't with Sam Darnold. I don't know about that. I don't think they're done. They're done. I don't think they're done. I don't think they're done. I feel for my fans. No, they're done. I feel for my former high school football teammate. Yeah, because but even he knows. I don't know. Keep up with Sam Darnold. He hand-picked Sam Darnold to come in there. Good. If there's anyone I have faith in, you know, getting the quarterback to play better, it would be Kevin O'Connell. He's a four. He's a former NFL quarterback. How many of those guys are head coaches right now? Bill Barnwell. I will see. But I'll stick with this. The Vikings are done. Bill Barnwell has rated the 14 playoff teams from a year ago in terms of their chances to return to the playoffs this year. I saw something similar, but let's see. So let's run through this real quick. Chiefs, number one. Why? They're still the Chiefs, right? 87% to return to the playoffs. 49ers, 86% to return to the playoffs. Pressures on you, Scrab. Does he have the calculations with Brandon Iyukra without Brandon Iyuk? I don't know. But Brandon Iyuk is probably on his way to the Steelers now. We don't know that. It was just a report. Reports are they're gaining in steam and noise. They're not though. They aren't. Baltimore Ravens third choice to make return to the playoff 78%. Okay. Best team in the regular season a year ago. They add Derek Henry. Wow. I like that for them. Well, I don't like having to defend it. I'll tell you that. Fear anybody. No. Detroit Lions. Lions are really the hot team this year. I think a lot of people really amount to say in this thing make you mad. I think people expect them to get to the Super Bowl this year. I think that's a little bit of a. It's a big jump, but darling. They were close that you can cheer for and feel good about. They were close. 81% to return to the playoffs. Packers fifth. Youngest team in the league, but Jordan love. How many of us? My hand is raised. How many of us said Jordan Love could not get the job done at the NFL level? I did. I wasn't sure. Jordan Love has been great so far and maybe just maybe the best way to be good at quarterback is to sit for a couple of years before you go in because that's what he did. Yeah, that's true. But then they had to pay him big time without really knowing what he's going to do. Right. He's been all right. Buffalo number six to return to the playoff 78%. I don't know about them. Well, Josh Allen, they just think he can do it no matter who he's throwing to. There's no wide receivers left. I think they need a new coach. We'll see. Houston Texans. This is another darling team. Yes. And this is not going to work out. Seventh most reliable to make it to the back of the playoffs, 64%. They were three and 13 the year before. I think they're going to take a step back after taking the huge leap that they did last year. CJ Stroud was magical, but scheduled to be much tougher. Dallas 78% to return to the playoffs. They're cowboys. I mean, whatever. Eagles 79% they're the ninth choice. Seven got to the dolphins here. I know. I'm waiting for it. Wait, wait, wait. Here we go. 10th choice. Wait, who's the name? Who's the name? Eagles. 10th choice to return to the playoffs. Dolphin 60%. Here's a great seed. Here's a great line by Bill Barnwell though. He says why they're number 10 because they stunk in December of 2023 and in January of 2024. He's 100% right. They were a great team until the end last year. It's not good. And then they got killed by Baltimore. They got beat at home by Buffalo and they got frozen out by Kansas City. Miami was having a great season until then. The Rams are 11th to return to the playoffs. Only 47%. They lost Aaron Donald. Lost Aaron Donald finally. That is going to be hard to replace. Tampa Bay 12th out of the 14 to return. 33% chance. Barnwell not too thrilled with Baker Mayfield and company, but I don't know. We'll see. I like Baker's chip on his shoulder. All right. Cleveland Browns only 33% to return to the playoffs this year. We'll see what the Browns end up doing at the quarterback thing and whether the Sean Watson, I can tell you can do something. It's all on his shoulders. Like they put all their eggs in the bag. They're paying him, you know, $200 million a game. Might as well, you know, see what he can do. And the most or the least likely playoff team from a year ago to return to it this year. The pits bag stealers. How could they say that Mike Tomlin does nothing. But makes the playoffs. Here's what he goes. Why their number 14? I foolishly choose not to believe Mike Tomlin. I'm not. I did that last year. That's what Bill Barnwell saying. You never bet against Mike Tomlin. How the Steelers were in the playoffs last year is incredible. It really is. They were so bad. They were really bad. They couldn't move the ball. They had a good defense. Their defense was not even good for them. George K is was making fun of his own quarterback. And now they're going to give it over to Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Mike Tomlin, man, this guy, coach, by the way, Justin Fields got the start in their preseason game and Russell Wilson had to watch. So yeah, okay. All right, there we go. Yesterday, we had to make it to 534. And I came up two minutes short. Today, we made it. Get the post that he says. Yes. Sam Lovett. He's got all the great Padre free game stuff for you. It's coming up next from Petco Park, then Padres and Pirates. Not only tonight, but tomorrow afternoon. We'll be on after the game tomorrow, hoping to wrap up a victory not only tonight, but tomorrow as well for Tony Scrabby, Chris. Bye. I do it while making coffee. I do it in the car.
