A couple of the notes from the game yesterday. Some good chilts fundamental baseball in terms of taking the extra base, advancing on a deep fly ball that had the double tag up from first and second to second and third, that helped them score some runs. Just things that I know make Mike Schultz quietly smile, especially when he's doing it in front of his old team there in Saint Louis, playing, you know, that's the cardinal way, right? That's, that's, yeah, of course, cardinal way. And Padres may not call it the cardinal way, but a lot of what Mike Schultz is doing with this team is, of course, modeled by what he learned in, you know, decades in that organization from their, you know, litany of coaches that he studied under. And that's what he has brought to the San Diego Padres. And so far, it seems like it's been pretty effective. You know what else he's brought to the San Diego Padres? And this is not, these are not my words. These are the words of Hall of Fame Closer Trevor Hoffman, who I happened to run into yesterday, pulled up to the gym and won't say which one, because I don't want to rat him out. But I walked up and guess who's walking out? I was floored because it was just a normal gym. It's a normal gym. Yeah, this isn't, I expected Trevor Hoffman to like, yeah, have his own studio somewhere with his own, you can't have his own gym, army of trainers. Yes, finest trainers. He's like a Hall of Famer. He's a literal Hall of Famer. And he's working out with slugs like, like me, like you. Yeah, the YMCA or something. Right. Yeah. Right. So I walk up and I go, hey, and he goes, hey, how you doing? And I said, I'm good, man. How you doing? He said, great. He said, he's so sweet, dude. He's so sweet. You know what he's first thing he said? He goes, how's Bo? And I go, he's doing so good, man. He's great playing a lot of ball, loves it. And we started chewing the fat about the team. Of course, he works with the team, you know. And I said, so what are your thoughts, man? He goes, I got to tell you, he goes, Shilty is, he's the one thing I love most about him. He goes, he has had the most consistent message. Of any manager, he's like in a long time. And he goes from the first day of spring training till today. It's been the exact same message. He's so consistent. I said, yeah, he absolutely is. And we chewed the fat a little bit more about the team and Jackson Merrill. And I said, how about this guy? He goes, that kid's leading the clubhouse, man. He's 21 years old. He's in there and everyone is feeding off of his energy. He goes, it's really, really cool to see. He loves him because he's a dog, plays a game the right way, the whole thing. And then Corey Lookey walked out with Trevor. He was, I mean, Corey Lookey, I'm like, Corey Lookey, I know you. Do you want to pitch on Sunday? See now, no offense, but it doesn't surprise me as much that Corey Lookey works out with everybody in the normal spot. I'm taking shots at Corey Lookey. I'm not even doing anything to you. I'm just surprised that Trevor Hoffman didn't do anything to you. He didn't do anything to you. I'm just surprised that Trevor Hoffman is there. But he didn't do anything to you. I didn't say that he did. It's a sweet, sweet guy. Corey Lookey, not a whole thing ever though. They are the same level. They are in the same fraternity. That's right. You mean the small nine quites. Trev's in another fraternity that puts him a little bit more. It's just a slightly higher fraternity. Heleet. He is the Knight Trevors. I feel like I need to like, there's got to be some trainers out there who'd be happily take on Trevor Hoffman as a pro bono client if they want. You know, if you wanted that, personal training services for Trevor Hoffman. Corey, I will take you on the tier ones tomorrow. All right. Just so you know, if you're listening. Oh, we know you would. The other thing that Trevor told me. We feared this might happen. If you remember a few weeks ago before I went to Hawaii, Ben and Paul thought it would be really funny to prank their old pal Woodsy who would never do that to either of them. It was pretty funny. And they pranked me. Paulie said that Dave Roberts was going to come in studio. Doctors go into a new a new different room and I just said, look, man, I'm dying. I don't know what to do. I'm planning these shows eight shows while you're gone. Yeah, I had to leave so Paulie could pull the wool over your eyes. And I said, dude, Ben is killing me right now. He's killing me. What's going on? I'm like, he wants to bring Dave Robertson. In fact, he's Paulie said they've been they've texted it. It's going to happen. They'll be here on Tuesday for the Monday game. And he wants to have him in Monday morning, chop it up. And I lost my mind. So off he goes, I got to tell you. He goes, I was crying when I heard that prank. He goes, I was with Doc and I played it for him. Now I knew I had heard through the great vine that they were together that day and that Trevor had heard it. What I didn't think Trevor would do was stab me right in the throat. Pull up the Odyssey app. Pull up the Odyssey app. Play it for Doc Roberts. Satan's Blowfish says, is this a bit? It's not. It's not. Toffees, I played it for him. He goes, he goes, he laughed. He goes, I also thought he was going to like seek you guys out. I would, oh my God, because I talk about you. And you do a great job. If Doc Roberts got in my grill, I would, I would soil myself. Okay, I would cave. He's five foot nothing, but he would destroy me. They just PR emails you and dress me down. Hey, are you going to be at the ballpark? We'd love to have you in the third base dugout. Yeah, shut down. Keep the military kids, cancer, survivor. He's a tough guy. A tough guy. A tough guy. No doubt, man. And so, Hoffi goes, yeah, I played it for him. And he goes, we were low. No, Dave Roberts. But he did. He said, he goes, I legit thought. He, I think, honestly, I think I hurt Doc's feelings. Which, like we talked about before, great human being. You're the Dodgers manager. You're public enemy number one. So that's just where it's, it's not personal. He's not a person. He's not a great, great guy. You turn Dave Roberts into probably more of a villain than he deserves to be turned into. Let's just say that. Fair assessment. But he took the job. He took the job. As the Dodgers manager. Not that anyone wouldn't have taken that job. Because the Dodgers didn't even call him. They didn't. We've heard they did for it. So he took the job and he's got that job and it's, it's responsibility to try to beat the Padres as often and buy as many as he possibly can. But I was hope, I would hope, I would hope that Doc would realize we also have a job to do. And having the Dodgers manager in here would have been a bad business decision. For our correct. Right. Now one day if he's retired and moves on. I would like to, I would like to men fences. Hopefully with Dave Roberts. But not now. He's the Dodgers manager. He needs to be removed from manager of the Dodgers. And then what's the statute of limitations? They're like giving it like a three to five not three. Not the day after. But there's needs to be some kind of golfing. But depends on how it ends. If he's like, if he retires his Dodgers hero and the entire his number, it's going to be harder to be in the much harder. Yeah. Most managers don't get that at the end. You know, they move on to another job somewhere else. It's like, OK, we can, we can move on as well. It's really going to kill you if you don't get your relationship back with this man. Isn't it? It's going to kill you. No, I mean, again, you know, it's all in good fun. Well, obviously he's got at least some sense of humor if he laughs. Yeah, yeah, he did laugh. But I think it was probably one of those laughs like, "Ha, ha, ha, I'll kill these guys. Ha, ha, ha, I'll kill him." Yeah, I'm with Janine. Janine says hard pass. I'm with you. I think too much is too much is transpired at this point. I just want to beat, you know, win games and beat them and watch them, you know, fall over themselves if that's, if that's to be. But it was nice seeing Hoffi. He is a true, true gentleman, a true gentleman. Well, if Dave is listening right now, wants to take on Woods, now would be the time to call in. All right, let's go. Put your money where your mouth is. 833-288-0973, that's also available to the rest of you who would like to call in, take on Woods for a chance to qualify for our Getaway Las Vegas and the Carry Underwood tickets. Maybe we can get Carry Underwood to sing the Rally Roach song as part of her residency at Resorts World. Call now 833-288-0973, as I mentioned. Padres picked up half a game on the Diamondbacks and Dodgers. They're four back of the Dodgers, a game back of the Diamondbacks. Braves won yesterday, so still three up on Atlanta. And the Mets were off, so six games up on the New York Mets who were the first team, not in the playoff picture. And we're now down to 29 games remaining. That's a six game lead over the first non-play off team with 29 games remaining. I'm not there yet. But you know what the next step is, don't you, Woods? No. Magic numbers. Oh, no. Not yet, but it's coming sometime in September. And that daily, like, okay. There's nothing that excites you more. Magic numbers? Magic numbers. You like magic numbers. You really, really do. Not going to get there yet. I'm not ready yet. Okay. But what's the date here? It's definitely sometime in September. Okay, early September. Probably early September when we can throw that the magic number out. Once it gets under, you know, in the 10 to 15 range, I think is when you can start, at least mentioning the magic number exists. And for anyone who doesn't know, because, you know, for Padres fans, and we haven't had a ton of experience dealing with magic numbers, that's the number of wins plus losses of the trailing team that gets you to clinch a playoff spot. So right now, we would be the Mets. Your magic number was six. That would be Padres wins plus Mets losses. And if it wants it equals six, you've clinched a playoff spot. Because if the Padres won a game and the Mets lost, you get two in a day. You get two in a day. Yeah, I get two in a day. Now, if the Mets, you know, if the Giants pass the Mets, then you'll swim. Your money, your money, the waters right now, it's so early. That's why I'm not doing the magic number yet. Oh, God. His brain, the way his brain works like this, it's crazy. All right, plan on the parade. All right, I see some contestants on the line. Let's get to it. It is time to take on Woods. It's time for take on Woods. Woods. Woods. All right, let's go, Paul. Paul, let's go with Paul. I'm ready. Oh, not me. Not you, no. Where are you going? This Paul? This Paul, yes. We had yesterday, we had a Tier 1 Paul who actually submitted the category. You know, not the same Paul, is it? No. Different Paul. That's OK. All right, Paul. You are our contestant today. If you can beat her tight Woods, who is left.

We'll come back to it. If there's time left on the clock. First question is the two second song. Paul is going to play a well-known hit from Genesis. You just need to give me the song title to score that point since we already know the band. Paul, are you ready to play? OK. Yes. I am ready to play. All right, 60 seconds on the clock. The category is Genesis. Your time begins when Paul plays the music. Good luck, Paul. Thank you. Let's take on Woods. That's all. Correct.

The tie goes to the listener. The contestants will stand the line because the other Paul, that would be Paul Reindel, will get your information and put you into the drawing. I'm more proud of that tie than any winner. He was nailing them all. He missed Abacab. I thought it was going to be a five for five. I like that song a lot. I thought you'd get invisible touch though. That was it, I'm falling, I'm falling for her. I hate it. She seems to have an invisible touch. Eh. Eh. (laughs) Cause it, yeah. Eh. Eh. Eh. She seems to have an invisible touch. Eh. Our buddy, John, from KSON. He was walking down the hall, probably going to the restroom or something. He had his phone. He was listening to take on words. And when Woods started, he was looking into our statement window and he goes, and he's flashing a five. He got a five. Five, five, five, five, five. And then you missed one and he threw his hands on there. We're planning a tournament of champions. It includes Woods and John at some point to determine an overall grand champion. But good job, Paul.

Three stories from the world of sports that make us all shake our heads. How many times do I have to tell you? I'm sorry I fudged up guys. You idiot. More on it. Don't do that. The apple sometimes does far fall from the tree. Don't do this. Do not tweet that. With Ben and Woods. I like a Nickelback song or two. On 97.3 the fan. So we've had some fun at Magic Johnson's expense over the years for his his style of social media his tweets which tend to be fairly. Well on the obvious side. Correct. Very that's just that's his signature style. So we start today the Padres beat the Cardinals seven to four. Right. It was a great game. Many of the shot are going to run home. So what does it take to break magic out of his his normal tweet tweeting shell and kind of clap back at someone. Well we finally we finally had it this weekend and it was NBA star Anthony Edwards who was I think doing an interview and he was kind of just talking off the cuff. Talking about what basketball was like back when you know back in the 90s way way back when. So I didn't watch it back in the day. So I can't speak on it but they say it was tougher back then than it is now. But I don't think anybody had skill back then. Michael Jordan was the only one that really had skill. You know what I mean. So that's why when they saw Kobe they were like oh my god. But now everybody has skill. Well that comment did not sit well with some you know NBA stars from the 80s and. I imagine. And 90s and even Anthony Edwards. She's great. She's hysterical but come on. He doesn't give up. He's not care. Even even Magic Johnson had to come back and he didn't he didn't have his usual tweeting style. He said I'd never respond to a guy who's never won a championship. He didn't win a college championship. I don't even know if he won a high school championship. To Anthony Edwards. Ouch. That's his that's his hardcore as he gets. That's his hardcore as he gets. But that's magic clapping back. It's someone. Ouch. No skill. No skill at all. No. Just plotting through it. Magic and Drexler and all those guys. But yeah. Bird my god. Yeah zero skill. Just Jordan was the only one who knew how to play basketball. Before you know 1996 when whenever it was Kobe Bryant or I have done the scene. Insane. You have another. I do actually. Okay so this one's just incredibly cringy. And it's probably because I'm bringing it up. Exactly what they were hoping for. Exactly what the purpose of this. But it is so cringy. I got this email PR email yesterday. Hello Ben. Exciting news to share in the sports world. Dude wipes in partnership with the Cleveland Browns. Come on. Invites you to enter a chance to win the stop the streak. Oh my god. Sweet steaks. If the browns apparently have the longest active streak without a kick off return touchdown dating back to Josh Cribs in 2009. So if you they haven't had a touchdown. If you stop the brown streak you can win $100,000 from dude wipes. Stop the browns streak. Number two. It's pretty brilliant. It's cringy. It's cringy. But it's pretty genius. I would give my that's what makes me hate it more. I mean even I am like and you know me. This is my genre of cleverness and it is well crafted. Well thought out but it's just as Jeffrey says brilliant but horrible. It's brilliant but horrible. Just horrible. I'd give my kids $100,000 if they stopped the streak. You know at this point $100,000 a piece. If you guys both stopped the streak because I'm I'm tired of it. I just I mean I get why dude wipes wants to do this. The Cleveland Browns though they like it's officially licensed because they're able to use like the Browns like logo and name. So they are obviously on board with this as well. Are you surprised? I don't know. I'm sure they're getting paid for it. Are you surprised that the first time they worked with dude wipes. There was another one. Oh was there another one before? Dude wipes going for two for every successful two-point conversion. Dude wipes will donate $2,000. They have a 2,000 wipes just for every a two-point conversion attempt. Bitmaster on staff don't they? For every explosive play you get a free package of dude wipes. Holy crap. You guys use dude wipes? No, Pauline does. You do. And you flush them. Yeah. And over this. You can't flush them. You say that. Are you on septic tank or sewer system? I don't know. It doesn't even know. Seven using them for like 10 years. You can there's no other way to go. You can't well obviously it's the best way to go. I don't have a bidet. Right. Well I mean I carry with the bidet probably still. I carry wipes with me everywhere I go. I'm going to ask geeves are dude wipes flushable? Geeves is a great new bidet. Yes dude wipes are flushable. They say flushable. Made with 99% water and plant-based fiber. I feel like if they're not. They're designed to break down in sewer and septic systems. Unlike baby wipes. Baby wipes. Which often contains synthetic materials like plastics and polyester that don't disintegrate. Dude wipes are also extra large and come in a variety of scents including mint chill, mint, sugar, smooth, and herbal relief. Well what do you use? Wow they have gotten a lot of free advertising on our show. I go between mint chill and the shea butter. Smooth or whatever. Sometimes you want to like a little cooling. Never know. Like who? Yeah. Methalyptus. Yeah. Methalyptus so nice. So they say flushable. They say flushable but you should not flush them. I've never had an issue. I've worked with plumbers. Do they have like lemon lime flavored? Cola. If you're not eating it is it a flavor or just a scent? Do you have cola scented? Don't think. All right so can we flush these or not? I'm getting mold. I'm getting. Jeeves says we can. If Jeeves says I trust Jeeves too. I've been trusting Jeeves since 1994. Yeah we have to do. Because we can't flush the baby wipes. Well now I see other opinions say no matter how much any company claims it's safe. Never flush wipes. Yeah that ask Jeeves was brought to you. That answer was brought to you by doing this. Yeah they probably have game to the system on the internet. So we have to do the wipe and then we have a little garbage can. Where you put it in there. Like a diaper genie. Yeah but it's just a garbage can with a bag in it. I'm the diaper genie because I'm the one that's going all garbage cans. They're supposed to have bags. Not necessarily. Not at your house. Not I mean one in my office where I'm just putting paper and stuff. I'll have a bag in there. I just I empty that into the deal. Oh my god. But the one in the bathroom. Our beloved TJ says in the chat I started buying those because my son was wiping his house with hand sanitization wipes and flushing them. I think that's a bad idea for many reasons actually. But I've done it in a pinch and I carry them. I should have some in here. Oh yeah these wet ones 99 they burn. These burn. That does not sound good at all. Anti-bacterial fresh scent but it's mostly like you get on a plane. You want to wipe the things down. Wipe your hands and stuff. I've had to use these in a pinch anyway. People are calling in. I wonder they've got opinions. Take a call. I want to hear from a plumber because I know we have a plumber. I'll get them for the early on. All right. Just keep rolling. We'll get them for the next segment. All right. Let's do do-do-do this. Yeah we got some audio that gets it. Dee-dee, mega-doo-doo. Pretty cool moment. Dylan Cruz who was drafted to number two I believe. Number two again. Brought to you by dude wipes. Was drafted to number two overall behind Paul Skeens. I was making his debut and it's always fun when these guys get the call up and the coach tells them and then they get to call their parents. Hey guys. What's up mom? What's that going to mean? What's your up to? Oh I'm not. I'm going to get to see. What are they going to say? I'm going to get to the dinner. Sweet. Sweet. Yeah. What are you doing? Nothing much. Just hanging out here. It's good right now. The two of you are. You got your plans coming up. Just next few days. Absolutely not. Well good because we're going to come off to play a national spark next year on Monday. Oh my god. That's the best. The best thing he went to over three in his debut with one. But that's fine. Now we don't care. When Dixie is the supermarket right? Kind of Midwestern. Southern too. Southern yeah. You could tell from her accent. Yeah you could. What a sweet angel. I love that. Those stories always make. They always get me every time. And that's don't and do do. Do do this. Do do do do do do. Do do. That was don't do this. With Ben and Woods on 97.3. We may or may not hear from a plumber coming up also. The Padres. AJ Preller not done. Making moves. Did everyone catch this yesterday? Sure did man. Maybe a little under the radar. But someone we may actually see. Even on the Padres playoff roster. Potentially. May I throw that out there? We will talk about that. Coming up next on San Diego's number one sports station. 97.3 of the fam. Before we get to the Padres signing yesterday. That you may or may not have missed. We want to wrap up our conversation on moistened wipes. Yeah. Flush or don't. Yeah Nate. Hot dog sandwich. Flushable wipes. Nate so you you work for a plumbing company. Paulie tells me. Yeah I'm an owner of a plumbing company. Not an owner. Nice give it a plug. What is it? So here it is. If you got a question it it's cheaper to pay for a trash bag than it is to have a plumber come out. That's true. True. That's just the bottom line. What kind of damage are we talking about? Because Paulie told us he's been using dude wipes for 10 years and he hasn't had a problem yet. It's you know how old the house is. It's your take. But you know like I said if you're if you're questioning. Should I do it or should I don't you just don't go out of your way to put things down the drain. But I'm not questioning it. What's this question? Yeah he's fine with his decision. I think that his toilet. Is it like arteries getting clogged? That's you know like you know eventually it's just going to back up and you're going to have a plumbing heart attack. Yeah they get backed up and then you know you get these companies that want to come out and charge you 800 bucks to do a hydrogen job because you got you know 20 feet of wipes that stayed in that line for the past month. So if that were to happen and I needed to call you to come fix my plumbing. The hydrogen. The hydrogen. I love that. 800 bucks Paulie. Couldn't I then sue dude wipes for false marketing saying they're flushable wipes. No I don't think so but you know I would charge you know usually like 300 bucks come out and clear a mainline but you know you. That's nothing. 300 bucks. Kind of worth it. 10 years of that. 10 years of pleasure with a minty fresh maybe some shade butter. Yeah. What's the name of your plumbing company by the way give yourself a plug. Palomar plumbing. Palomar plumbing. I love it. A literative. Good name. Thank you for calling me. Go Padres. Go Padres. Go Padres. Appreciate you buddy. I listen. I mean the doctor tells me I got to lower my cholesterol. I'm going to do it. I'm going to try to do it. Yes but if you're if your pipes get clogged you die. If Paulie's pipes get clogged. I call 300 more plumbing. It's done. Pays a couple hundred bucks and then has another 10 years or so. Yes minty freshness. I like the idea of the hydro jet. I don't want to be on the other end. That's the only other. Yeah where else is coming out. Who's seeing the other end of the hydro jet. So they were sued apparently beef says that there was a lawsuit. People tried to sue them and the court said just because it says flushable it doesn't mean anything. Check it out. Interesting. Yeah I mean I think it's more like hey if you drive 85 miles an hour your car is going to need a little extra work done on it at some point down the road but if you drove 65 miles an hour all the time it wouldn't be a problem. Yeah well dude I mean. Plumbing happens whether you are doing everything following all the right directions or not. The safest thing to do is just wipe with your hand. Just wipe with your hand and wash. That's it. Just wipe with your hand and wash after that. So alright let's check traffic. When we come back we'll talk about the move the Padres made and whether it could actually impact the rest of the season and the post season for your San Diego Padres next year on 97-3 the fan. So saw the tweet during the game yesterday from Kevin AC of the UT that the Padres had signed to a minor league contract former Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz. Yes sir. All star by the way. He was the all-star game MVP last year in 2023. Now there's a reason the Colorado Rockies let him go. What is the reason? Do we know? I don't know. I mean they're the rock. Just a clear room for maybe a young up-in-commerce. Yeah he had a 1.1 war this season hitting 270. 693 OPS 5 homers defensively can throw out runners at second base. I mean he's not a he's not a completely useless baseball player. Not even close. His catching sliders are through the roof in the red Betty and Luis Camposanos are not right now. I don't know what this means. I don't know. I'm assuming I look is this he now he turned down a deal from the Giants. He had an offer from the Giants to go be their backup catcher to to Bailey and he turned it down. He's like I don't I don't think there's enough PT there for me. So the fact that he turned that down but signed the deal with the Padres leads me to believe that there's going to be some opportunity for for Diaz here. So but yeah can't be he's struggled. Well that would be where the opportunity comes because obviously Luis Camposanos has been struggling after kind of a hot start. His his averages down to 231 is OPS down to 647 and he's been replaced as the the starting catcher by Kyle Higashiyoka. Now it's catching so you still need a backed up a couple of days a week. And the question is are the Padres better off going forward by sticking with Luis Camposanos. The guy that they know the guy that they're they're pitching staff at least has been working with since you know spring training or before or they better off trying to upgrade that position and injecting some new life behind the plate by bringing up Elias Diaz and kind of getting him set. Now because he was acquired before September 1st and he's in the organization doesn't need to be on the 40 man roster doesn't need to be on the 26th man roster. He just needs to be in the organization and he now is by September 1st that would make him eligible for the postseason roster if the Padres did want to call him up for the playoffs. Yeah yeah I just if you're campy you're like ooh oof let's it's not what you want you know he yeah it turns a heat up for sure and you know campy's gonna get some he's certainly gonna get some starts this way I mean there's no way you can't put Higgy back in the lineup after catching last night and campy catches cease caught a no hitter this year don't forget credit is due certainly to the catcher in that in that spot but 100 degrees you know 100 degrees feels like 100 with humidity I'm thinking that Kyle Higashyoka has probably got his his turf shoes on today and has nothing to do with with catching so campy actually had a pretty decent month of July he hit 304 with an 870 OPS couple of home runs but in in August he's falling off the map 156 206 on base percentage 4 56 OPS just one home run just two walks he's uh he's five for 32 this month and has really struggled at the plate and obviously defensively he's uh he's a downgrade from Kyle Higashyoka and Elias Diaz might might be the better option I don't know what the Padres plans are and if they're gonna try to bring him up quickly my guess is he'll get some minor league time just to kind of get back into the swing of things but wouldn't be surprised if if in the next week or or so that the Padres may make a move and bring up Diaz this is this is the time where you're going for it you know you're a World Series contender you want you don't want to leave anything to hope like well we hope that you know campy gets it turned around or you you're bringing another option that you and maybe campy does get it turned around and we never hear from Diaz but if he doesn't you now have someone else beyond Brett Sullivan in your organization that that could potentially be someone you could go to down the stretch or even in the postseason yeah if somebody gets her if you know whatever it's nice to have and as you know like we mentioned an all-star former all-star as early as last year coming in to be another backstop and he works well with the pitching staff's been he throws the ball really really well has a pretty high percentage of throwing out base runners blocks the ball very well so probably just a massively low risk high reward move for AJ Preller and you know he's he's not done swing it great you know he doesn't swing it great but you play defense like we talked about some of these guys that come up the Mason McCoy's bro play defense field your position let the big boppers do what they need to do and and and pull your weight defensively and you know it's it's tough to say I mean Higgy's catching numbers are really bad but he also caught Matt Waldron for the entire season that's going to skew your numbers tremendously um campy sauna has had a few little of those those kind of brain lapses within that ball the other day I mean you never know did he get crossed up you have no idea but it just hasn't gone the way that I think they expected it to for campy this year and he lost his starting job and now there's another guy knocking at the door so maybe it's the kick in the ass he needs he has a monster day today but you just never know it's it's good to have options and I'm really I was impressed with this move yesterday and you don't want to get stuck in the situation that Bob Melvin was in 2022 when you only trust one you only trust one catcher in the postseason and Austin Ola had to catch every single day of the playoffs he was obviously wearing down by the time they got to the nationally championship series because it just wouldn't put in or he'll follow into any games at that point so but I do think campy has I believe and I checked this last night I believe he has one more option so he is able to be optioned down to triple A get some work whatever it may be um you know I wish the best for him I know he's overcome a ton a ton to get up to be a contributor this year again caught a no-hitter like this is not a personal thing against Luis Camposano I do not have a vendetta against him but if you see that there's a a better option that can help you go out and win a world series it's a cold business man we know that we talked about Jason Hayward last week it's the home run of the year for the Dodgers a massive three-run home run and the dude is out of a job two days later and it just that's the nature of the beast so um it's unfortunate you hate to see it for campy knowing how much he's overcome with his mental health all of that to be back and contribute this year that's a win right out of the shoot that's a win for him the numbers aren't where he wants them to be and they're not where the Padres want him to be so I don't I just I don't see any real downside to this meanwhile I get a couple of jerks and pro-far notes for you uh jerks in yesterday oh for two but I reach base three times two walks was hit by a pitch again his uh league leading 18th time congratulations. I think that's what I saw. Is he the league leading? I thought he was a third. I think he's uh the 16th time. 16th time leads the national league by one uh Jake Kroneworth got hit for the 11th time he's fifth in the national league but it's funny they only hit him in the knee uh also according to Kevin Asian his newsletter today jerks and pro-far will likely earn an extra $250,000 reaching 546 plate appearances so once he gets to 550 he gets another 250 in incentive money he could probably get up to 600 plate appearances which we give another 300,000 adding to his 1 million base salary another 1.5 million so good 2.5 million for one of the most productive players outfielders in baseball this season has been absolutely fantastic but we finally have at least an idea from a baseball insider of what it might cost to bring back jerks and pro-far Jeff Passen this morning uh at ESPN.com released one of his insider columns about free agents to be starts obviously with Juan Soto Corbin Burns kind of goes down the list as premier free agents this upcoming off season and his very last one says the biggest raise due for jerks and pro-far says uh it's the deal of the winner the 1 million dollar deal of the pod raise signed for pro-far so he's uh he's hammering the balls ranked 10th in slugging percentage leads the nationally get on base percentage at 388 after his three on base times yesterday it's ahead of Freddie Freeman, Shohio Tani, Marcelo Zuna, Kyle Schorber so in total pro-far is having an offensive season right on par with Bryce Harper's he could spend next season making 15 times what he is this year is what he said so I guess Jeff Passen's estimate then would be like 15 million for jerks and pro-far next year I think we said we talked about it last week we kind of came around like 13 to 15 yeah so we kind of sort of in line with what Jeff Passen is thinking to try to get something done maybe Jeff Prince and pro-far that's possible that's always possible he's a huge roundtable guy I don't know I don't know what you do I just do do that now do you try to get it done before he hits free agency you just let it play out the rest of this season I just want to beat the Cardinals tonight that's all I want to focus on okay Mike Shelton I just want to beat the Cardinals tonight that's it Bill Belichick on the Cincinnati on the Cincinnati yeah we're on to st. Louis another game too I don't know I I tend to think I'm sure AJ Preller wants to be at the Cardinals tonight sure Elias Diaz is not going to do that but he also has to think about the future yeah but I don't yeah but I don't have to you can but I don't have to I don't even play I don't want to doesn't help the team at all I play focus on tonight I played on the roundtable last week I don't know what to give jerks and pro-far I'm kind of I'm also like of the opinion sometimes we've pulled the trigger way too early on extensions I we have done that they've done both they've done a good job at locking guys up and it's not too early though he's on a one-year card he's on a one-year idea I get it I fully understand and and you know three month and a half two months I have no idea what's in jerks and said I have no idea what he wants for his family he does want to get paid though baseball players do not like to work for less than what they're worth that's one thing I will say that jerks and has pride nobody all agree that who wants to all agree that I can only think of a few people that are like I'll take whatever you give me just to have the gig and those people do exist you know in our business certainly but with with baseball players no they're not gonna they're not gonna take less just defer it defer it all like the Dodgers did defer it 10 years down the road all right if you were with us earlier we talked about the heat in st louis and how the corn is sweating and making things hotter woodsy is going to add to that discussion with another special song yeah i'm gonna ruin your day but this is not a i this is a real this is a real song coming up next year at 97.3 the fans the seasons may be changing but the deals at the sharpest rides are unbeatable as ever hey what's going on is your girl tasha mikea and i need you to join the sharpest rides for their fall into savings events where they're offering incredible prices on their massive inventory that's right everything is on sale now shot from sleek sedans to rugged SUVs and sporty convertibles the sharpest rides has the perfect ride to match your fall adventures plus with their exclusive financing options getting behind the wheel of your dream car has never been easier lag on and shop online at the sharpest rides dot com right from the palm of your hands or check other massive inventory in person at the sharpest rides located 2250 South Sea home street in Inglewood either way you will fall into savings don't miss out head on over to the sharpest rides dot com today and explore the deals that make every season better and tell them that your girl tasha mikea sent you the sharpest ride affordable sexy sharp deer autumn leaves you won't be covering roads alone this season toyota's lineup of cool colorful vehicles is ready to ride by your side take on fall in a trail tackling to coma or go for the powerful tundra head to toyota.com for more info or visit your local toyota dealership today toyota let's go places this episode is brought to you by progressive insurance whether you love true crime or comedy celebrity interviews or news you call the shots on what's in your podcast queue and guess what now you can call them on your auto insurance too with the name your price tool from progressive it works just the way it sounds you tell progressive how much you want to pay for car insurance and they'll show you coverage options that fit your budget get your quote today at progressive dot com to join the over 28 million drivers who trust progressive progressive casually insurance company and affiliates price and coverage match limited by state law hey NFL fans you can start the season with a big return on fandal america's number one sportsbook so when you get a hunch in the middle of the game you can check out the latest stats view live play by play and so much more on the same page where you place your bets you'll get started with $200 in bonus bets guaranteed when you place your first $5 bet that's fandal.com/sports fan never waste a hunch and make every moment more with fandal an official sportsbook partner of the NFL must be 21 plus and president Colorado first online real money weights are only $10 first deposit required bonus issued is now with drawable bonus bets that expire seven days after receipt restrictions apply see terms at sportsbook dot fandal.com gambling problem call 1-800-522-4700 if your day sounds like we need the report ASAP you deserve medulla if you've persevered through you deserve this rich golden lager with a crisp or refreshing taste or if you overcame two orange two more you deserve this ice cold reward medulla the mark of the fight trick responsibly be reported by crowning poor chicago lennor
