Today we are all British. Good morning, everybody. Ben & Woods, 97.3. I was literally in my car driving here this morning, and just doing a British accent the entire drive. Out loud by myself as I was listening to what's a story, Morning Glory. This is Back Together. It's the best day of my life, and I have two kids. So just remember that. Good morning. So I know we talked about this a little bit yesterday, and you kind of gave us the rundown on what happened between the brothers. When they're back together, is this, is this, I know right now it's just a European tour, probably going to expand to be a worldwide tour. Are they back together just doing one last tour? Probably one last tour. Are they going to make another album or music? I really don't know. I think the future is wide open. Let's get through one show. Let's get through one show, and then we can start talking about any, let's just start talking about the second show. That's how dire it's been, but it is official. The picture came out this morning, and I am very elated. I'm Woodsie, big oasis fan if you didn't tell. That's Paul Rinal. He's the executive producer. Benjamin Higgins, your family neighborhood sports anchor. Benjamin, do you remember, we might have done this before. Do you either of you guys remember? Paul, you grew up with the internet. So I don't know if you really count. Do you remember the first thing you ever looked up on the internet? When you discover, when somebody said, hey, there's an internet, what is it? Well, you can find answers and information. All you have to do is go to this bar, like this search bar type, something in, because I do know my very first thing I looked up at. Jeeves. Ask Jeeves. My dad was the world's biggest Ask Jeeves fan. Of course he was. I'm sure Benjamin, Ben's like, wait, a butler actually answers your questions. Well, I'm used to this. Let me punch something in. What was Tony Williams? Dial up the modem. Dial up the modem with the sound. Jeeves. Finally connects, and then it takes forever for like one page to load, and you're just sitting there. It's 15 minutes twiddling your thumbs, waiting for that page to load. Jeeves, hurry. Do you remember? I don't remember the first thing I ever searched. I know. You know what it was? It was chords. Guitar chords for talk tonight by Oasis. That was the first thing I went to the Notre Dame. This is how old we are. Went to the Notre Dame library. Had heard about this thing called the internet. I don't have an ear for a guitar. Back then, when you wanted to learn a song on guitar, you had to sit down and listen to it and see if you could play it. I never could do that. I've picked up maybe three songs by your my whole life. I turned that off as a million saying. So, or you had to go to a music store, not like a Sam Goody, like a music store. They sold guitars and trumpets. Go to the rack and be like, "Okay, there's Bachmann Turner overdrive's entire catalog. Isn't that you, are you by like the Oasis chord book for "What's the Story Morning Glory?" Take it home, try to learn it. But it had all the music and it had the chords in there as well. So, I found out about this thing called the internet. I went in, I punched in, talk tonight, guitar chords. It popped up, printed out. I took it home, I started playing the song. I learned it in 30 minutes. And that's the first thing I ever looked up on the internet. So, I was back there the next day learning every song I could learn by that band. So, I'm very excited this morning. I tweet it, I say, they're playing in their hometown of Manchester on my 50th birthday. Exactly, your 50th birthday next year. July 19th, their fifth show after the reunion. If they make it to five. If they make it to five. One show at a time, kind of like us, kind of like the Padres, one game at a time. Just one at a time. Get through today, we'll, we'll. Go on and know today. Go on and know today. Oasis, go on and know. Go on and know. Yeah, go on and know. Just kissing around the road. Before, before again. So, what's the, what's the process necessary to attempt to acquire tickets to send show? So, it looks like this Saturday at 1 a.m. I have to get up and log into ticketmaster.co. 9 a.m. England time. Yeah, so 1 a.m. Ticketmaster.co/uk. I have to log into that. I have to get in the queue, the notoriously reliable ticketmaster website. Never any issues with ticketmaster. Never, never. They're so well equipped to handle huge shows like this. You need to find some Oasis, message boards, fan groups, just befriend somebody that's over there. I'm probably, you think, my wife, by the way. And get you those tickets. She's so tired of me. You have like a chase card or a capital, one card, you don't have anything. And you can't get free access. American Express, something like that. So, here's, let me tell you what I did yesterday. This is no joke. So, I went home, I got on some like message board type things. I went, oh yeah, I went to their website to see if there's some sort of fan club I need to join. Right, join the fan club. You'll get an exclusive presale. My neighbor, Kieran, is from Ireland. He was, I was shooting hoops with Bo. He was driving by and I jumped in front of his car. Hey, stop, I ran around the side. He was picking up his daughter. He's the best guy. I'm like, did you hear the news? He's like, no. And I said, oasis, get back together. He's like, no way. I can't do an Irish accent. You're much better. Irish accent than me. I wish you were actually there for the combos. You could do it. But he's like, he goes, it's the first. I saw them open for REM 30 years ago. My first concert, I was a teenager. He goes, this is unbelievable. He goes, I go, if you have any of your British or UK friends, that can get tickets, I'll pay them. I'll pay you. I'll pay you for the ticket, whatever. I just need a pair. And he's like, yeah, there may be one guy. And I'm like, all right. So just keep me in the loop. Keep me abreast. I've been reaching out to everybody. Travis Devlin says he knows a guy. I'm like, how are there guys to know already at this point? This just came out today. Yet there's already guys to know. Well, take it. Guy-- so Travis's cousin-- this is where it gets dirty. Travis's wife's cousin works at Wembley. But I don't want to go to the Wembley show. I don't want to go to the Manchester show. I would take anything, obviously. But just have Wells Spryer do it. Yeah. Well, don't use you online. Here's my credit card. Don't you think there's-- I do it in a heartbeat. Roughly 500,000 people whose wife's cousin works at Wembley at this point. I mean, they can't get tickets for everyone. I know. I know. That's what I thought out. I was like, bro, well, just-- anyway, keep me in the loop. So if any of the tier ones out there know something-- anything, just any lead, I will follow it like a private dick. OK? I will be following it around. It's a short for detective. You've never heard that before, private dick. Right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I-- Sam's may. Sam's may. Yeah, private dick. So I will be definitely on the hunt for that. But I just thought, man, on my 50th, that says to me, that that needs to happen. It's fate. Karma, all of that. So that's what I spent my day doing yesterday. And that's what-- just reading and watching everything I could possibly watch. I'm literally like a-- I feel like a school kid. Do we need to ask the pot-- we know pot and the pot raise. Maybe they can have a show at Petco Park. I-- I thought about it. I thought about it. But I did see something leaked. And again, you never know what's real or not. But they had a couple of shows booked at Soldier Field, and they had a couple shows booked at the Rose Bowl. But that was earlier. That was in-- that was an earlier date. So if you're Oasis, and you're a British legendary band, do you dare say, here's our British dates, and they start in July. We're going to play America in April and May. I don't think so. I think there's a lot of time-- There's a lot of time between now and July. Yeah. Of course, there it is. There's a lot of time. It's a lot like they need to learn all their songs between now and then. They already know the songs. Can't take that much rehearsal time to get ready for it. For sure. For sure. What's all the extra time for? I'm booking stuff, and I just-- I don't know. OK, now would you rather see them closer to home? Like LA earlier, or in their hometown on your 50th? In their hometown on my 50th. But I will also go to both shows at the Rose Bowl. Why not both? I can take both. Because I'm not going to track him across the pond. As much as he wants to go. I don't think I got it in me. There's going to be 100,000 people out there. Like me weaving through the crowd with him. Where a bunch of drunken Englishmen are out there. I mean, it sounds fun for me. But so anyway, I'm very excited. It's a huge day. Huge, huge day. But Eric, I was laughing at the chat. Eric said he was a guitar player too. And before the internet, he goes, "You would have to turn the page while you were strumming to learn a new song." It's the worst experience. Just download it on your iPad. Yeah, right. What are you doing? Super, super crazy to think that me and you, Ben. My freshman year of college, there was no internet. There really wasn't. And if there was, I had never heard of it. That was a college when I was first exposed to the internet. It was like, when was it popular in the United States? Like '93. That's my senior year of high school. I had not heard of it until probably '96. '95? And it was mostly just text. Yeah, it was just text. It was just text. That's exactly right. You couldn't know videos. Yeah. Unfortunately for all of us, no videos. No social media. No. No social media. Man. But anyway, I digress for 11 minutes. I'm very excited. Mud has nothing to show people. That's right. What is fun? What? Mud was like, "Hey, read this passage from Tom Sawyer. You're going to like this here." He takes a book out and opens it up to show him to read the passage from it. Check this out. Look at that. Look at that. Look what Hop Fin said right here. Just showing him a book. No wonder he's spent so much time imitating umpires and broadcasters. He needed to fill the time, obviously, without the internet around. Nothing else to do. All right, this guy says, this is great advice here. Get NordVPN for one month so you can switch your country to UK on Saturday. It can improve your chances to get tickets. Padre's TJ, thank you for that advice. I wouldn't be able to do that if you put a gun to my head. You could. Are you sure? Yeah. How do you do it? To sign up for NordVPN? No, you just, it's a virtual private network. It is? Yeah. I could send one of my children over. Please do, actually. You could probably do it for you pretty easily. I think you could actually figure that out. Tell Jack that if he wants to get up at 1am on Saturday and get me tickets, I'll take such good care of these. These are 21 and 19 year olds. They're still up at 1am and that would probably be much easier than getting up at 1am. I'll take, I will take good, good care. Good care. So anyway, great night last night, certainly. We had a bit of a, bit of a laugh here, I would say, for most of the game. And we'll talk about the, the ins and outs and I want to know. Padre's going to want to know yesterday. Got off to an early start, which was really, really nice to see. Got Randy Vasquez a little run support. And the Rally Roach, what is our record? I just wrote it down. Since the Rally Roach, and for those of you listening for the first time, we were in here about a month ago, 29 games ago. And for some reason, we'd never seen one in here before, but there was a giant Roach in here, giant, like huge, huge Roach and we freaked out. It was life size right here. It was on the air and stuff them and put wheels on them. Next thing you know, Padre's going on this insane run. They are 20, the Rally Roach is 21 and eight, man. 21 and eight is a staggering, staggering record. It's over 600 winning for seven. Yes, outstanding baseball. That's outstanding baseball. Just the new Oasis song. Yeah. [Music] My god. [Music] I hate it. I hate it so much. [Music] Rally Roach. [Music] Tiny hero. That's so good. 21 and eight for that Rally Roach, man. I still don't have the stones to put it on a shirt though. I'll tell you that right now. We get a shirt made and we sell that shirt. Padre's dropping nine in a row. I tend to agree. I tend to agree. It's guaranteed. Now there was a bug that invaded the booth in St. Louis yesterday on television with Don and Mutt. If it had been a Roach and not whatever I would have done. I would have done Mantis or whatever it was. Gonna put 10 grand on the potteries to win the World Series. We probably would have had to book those t-shirts as well. But if I don't think it was a Roach, looked green, non-roached. Yeah, very, really tiny. Don got very scared of that little bug that was in there last time. No, I don't really get scared of little bugs. I get terrified of Roaches though. They'll fly. Grasshopper, at least, I think. Is that what it was? Yeah, and Roaches fly, crawl in your mouth and lay eggs and stuff. Eat your face off and doo-doo on you and stuff. Like I just have no desire. Who's it, Selma? I typed in like a rock. The prompt was like a rock song, but three doors down. It's like a little country. Yeah, it's like, it's a posty. Like a little rock. He's like a rock country, yeah. He's got a little autotune in there. Jelly roll, maybe. Jelly roll. Yes. There's like still, there's also like a little bit of knick-o-back or the doors down. The doors down. But three. A little butt-rocky. Jelly roll, always makes, that guy's insanely talented. But that, that nickname always makes me laugh. Always. It's name or whatever it is. Talk about Jelly Roll for a second. Yeah. There was a while back when we had the Daily Diddy. Way back when. I miss those days. I kind of do too. I remember I picked a category. And I don't remember what song or what band it was, but the category was bands you just assumed you hated. Based on the name. Jelly roll is one of them. You heard the name Jelly Roll. Yeah, you're like, come out. I see the name and I go, absolutely not. Absolutely not. I see he's in the same circles as Morgan Wall. And I'm like, no, not for me. Listen to a couple songs. Pretty good, man. This guy's got some pipes. It's the name. This guy's a damn good singer. It's the name that gets you. It's like, all right, well, here's Biscuit. I want to see, like, I'm not listening to a guy named Biscuit. I'm just not. I'm not having. All right, Biscuit's a gravy here. And no, I'm out. I'm out. But he is really, he's a talented dude. All right, let's get into it. Benny will set the menu next. We'll talk to Pottery's baseball. Yep, Kelly Danics got some traffic. And then more Biscuit and gravy in the mornings.

I got a handle opening of at 1-15, and I tossed and turned until it was time to get up. So here I am. It's not conducive to a very healthy lifestyle. She's not. It's an unusual wake-up time, to be sure. She's an unusual bird. That's what she is, but I love her so. How's school going? Everybody fine so far? Not really. Not really. No. How much of the game did you get to watch? What I told you guys was going to happen. Yesterday, I was fascinated by this, putting the game on in every room, so no matter where your kids leave you throughout the house, you can sort of see it out of the corner of an eye somewhere. Catch a little bit, but yeah, you had to do. Now, luckily, last night, and we'll talk about the game next, but last night, we didn't feel a lot of stress, right? So I was able to say, "All right, it's bath time. Let's hit it. No problem." And I dragged my phone in there and stuff, but, you know, you also want to be like a present father. It's this dichotomy. And I have said for many years, I don't know how the national guys do it, where they seemingly have caught every single game the night before, and they're also present, and they make a lot of money and a lot of pressure, but they're also seemingly good parents. I find it hard to be really good at this and still be a committed husband and father. It's very difficult just because you just don't have the time to lock in. Like, I miss so much stuff. I miss the crony potential interference. I missed it. I just missed it. I came back in. I heard them talking about it, but, you know, kids got to get fed and bath time. It's just really hard to juggle that. So they missed it too, live. Yeah, I heard that. Don't feel so bad. No one really saw it until after the fact, big old collision out there. But yeah, no, I mean, you know, life intrudes on our baseball watching. All of us, everyone has that experience. And baseball is such a game for me, like, from, I don't know about how it is for you guys, but I can put an NFL game on and have it on all day or red zone or whatever or college football game. I don't need, I don't feel the need to watch it as intently basketball. Great example. If there's the biggest game in the world, I'm like, how are we looking with a minute and a half left? Great. I feel like I've caught everything I need to catch baseball. So many little things happen that maybe you've never seen. Maybe your favorite player makes a good play. Certainly. Also, there's no football or basketball game, even the Super Bowl that you're going to talk about for four hours. Like, you're going to talk about a pottery and baseball game. And that's exactly it. That's exactly it. We need lots of detail. You need the detail of the conversation. The devil is in the details. And we will start that conversation coming up in our next segment with our Padres wrap up. I'll tell you what I thought was absolutely the most critical key element of last night's game, not just for the win, but for this entire road trip, maybe, and stretch of 18 games in 18 days, something big from last night's game that was really, really good to see Padres fans. We'll talk about that. Coming up in our Padres wrap up in our next segment, 710 Take On Woods, a chance to qualify for a trip to Las Vegas. No winners yet this week. You can go head to head against woods in our musical trivia challenge. I won't make it a oasis because that seems like woods you would be dialed in on that category. So you could do 20 and I'd probably get 18 out of 20. Not going to do that today. Don't do this at 720 second half of the show. Looking forward to welcoming Jesse Agler, the voice of the Padres back on a Tuesday. He will join us from muggy and hot St. Louis where Woods told me even the corn was sweating last night. I so listen, I like to needle people as you guys know, tweeted last night. Now, you know what? There's some really good Cardinal fans out there. Like there's an every fan base and there's some, some, you know, not. So I said, wow, looks like baseball's best fans took the night off. They called it. I saw it instantly. First foul ball of the game. I guess you want in the world. Oh my God. There's nobody but stating them. There's nobody there. It was, it was shocking. And again, like everywhere, every time we see, and there were a lot of Padres fans there. We, they would pay into the crowd and they show a lot of Padres fan there. But so this, this gal will quote tweeted me last night and, and send it back and she goes, she said, dude, our corn is, our corn is emitting buckets full of sweat into our atmosphere, creating excessive heat warnings in the Midwest today. Temps in the high 90s feels over a hundred. We deserve to watch the game in air conditioning. I wrote fair, fair enough. I didn't know you think the corn could sweat and make it even hotter in the Midwest. That's a thing. I didn't really realize that. I mean, it's obviously corn around that area is a huge, huge crop. I just googled it. Yeah. Corn sweat makes heat wave even worse. Corn sweat. Y'all got to go get the corn, the corn sweat and it's time to go get it off the stop. I've had meat sweats before, but I've never had the corn sweats. It's phenomenal. So they have like a corn antiperspirant or something. I'm thinking you can't use aluminum. So this gives you Alzheimer's. The heat index is calculated using dew points and temperature. So anything that adds extra moisture into the air can impact them. That's like corn sweat comes in. Have you guys ever heard that we ever played the song corn star? Corn star. Have you guys ever we never played it on the show? I don't think so. You guys will hear it today. It's a real country song. It's called corn star and we'll play it for you. I'd say after the wrap up, but maybe at eight o'clock come back to the little corn star. All right. Remember corn star eight a.m. You guys are going to die after Jesse. Paulie's got a round of report for us in our nine o'clock hour. And don't forget we are giving away Kansas tickets and Humphreys in September. You are listening for the sounder. It's that minor league announcer. Remember him? This is going to be carrying on my wayward son. That'll be truth when you were gone. That's the sounder not now. But the next time you hear that, Paulie plays it. Call 833-288-097-3. You'll have a chance to win tickets to see Kansas at Humphreys behind the bell. Do not know. September 22nd. That's not when you call. That's when the concert is. You call when Paulie plays that again. You chance to win tickets to see Kansas at Humphreys and that'll take us up to 10 o'clock in an Annie and Elston program here on a Tuesday. So there's your menu. Let's come back with our pot raise wrap up, get all the highlights from Jesse in last night's seven to four win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the start of a seven game road trip. Coming up next with Ben Woods on San Diego's number one sports station. 97-3 the fan. Facebook coverage in 97-3 the fan is presented by T-Mobile switch to T-Mobile.

Well, it was the homecoming of sorts for Mike Schilt last night in St. Louis. That had to be tough. It's got to be tough. Well, I'm sure it was a lot easier after winning. Yo, yeah. The game yesterday. But I mean, just the whole, the whole thing of like leading up to it, you land, you walk in that that stadium, Benny, for the first time. And it's in the visiting clubhouse. I mean, it's just got used to going right. Yeah, you left. And you know, a lot of probably a lot of the same people that were there when he was there. Hey, Mike, how you doing? I mean, he probably pressed more flesh yesterday than he has all season long saying hi to people and downplayed it. But it was it's definitely a it was a big moment for him. Well, you're human. I mean, you're a human being. It if it didn't affect you in some way, then you may be a robot. I mean, it's just really, really, especially with how things ended there in St. Louis form, it's got to be. But it's got to feel really good walking in there with a really good ball club that you've done a good job managing that has really had an incredible second half. And you walk in there, if you walk in there 500, you know, and you're scuffling to people are like, Oh, whatever, I saw Cardinals fans last night in the final score thread, like, they were doing our record against their record and Schilt against Marmal and blah, blah, blah. And we let this guy go and this is BS. We would have won that game with Schilt. I mean, it's it's pretty nuts to see for certain when you have the record on your side, it's going to make things a little bit. He's 100%. And Mike Schilt has always had the record on his side. Ever since he's become a manager, four seasons of full managing three in the Cardinals. And now one of the Padres. And it looks like it'll be four trips to the playoffs for Mike Schilt, hopefully at the end of this season. We'll talk about yesterday's game series opener. First of four in St. Louis, our Padres ramp up coming up right after this check a traffic on 97 three, the fam. I love winning, man. I love, I love winning. You hear what I'm saying? It's like better than losing. Oh my God. I'm so stiff. Miss any of the Padres win yesterday, Ben and Woods didn't. What a group. We've got you covered with all of the highlights. I like it with the Padres win. It's the Padres wrap-up presented by Hamul Casino with rilling slots and tables in all the best rewards. Hamul Casino has all the fun you're looking for. Hamul Casino, fun above all else. Give me a due damage. New damage. Here's the one and one, Manny Swings hits it in the air. Straightaway center and deep. Scott is back at the wall. This one going to go onto the grass in Bankman and center field. Lachado a two run homer and the Padres a two nothing lead. Two two pinch and up the middle and in the center field of basic out of middle trot home and RBI single for Old Smith is 50th RBI in the season. The Cardinals are on the board. It's two to one. Three and one to Jackson Merrill. Gibson delivers Jackson Swings lines it into left field in a base in. Bro far is scored. Machado's being weighed. Burleson comes up throwing. The tag is not in time. Two run single Jackson Merrill and a four one. Padre Lee. Nothing and one from Vasquez. The pitch to carpenter sent in the air straightaway center. Able for Merrill should be deep enough to get the run home. Makes the catcher rare a tags throw comes in behind second base. Sacrifice fly Matt Carpenter and now four to two game here in the fourth. Two two to Mandy hit hard and beyond the dive of our anado down the left field side. Ricochet's off the side wall. Burleson's going to go and get it. The run is scored. Ronald worth in a third base. It's an RBI double for Mandy Machado and a five to two Padre Lee. Two and two to Zander. Here's the pitch from Gibson swung on hitting the air to left center field. Long run Victor Scott into the gap gets there to make the catch. Colonel worth will tag and score behind him. Machado goes to third base. Sacrifice fly for Zander Bogart and a Padre lead is six to two. Now battle mode here against Liberator. Two two reach four poked into right center field. That'll drop down and another base in. Machado scores easily. Merrill and RBI single he's driven in three and a Padre lead is seven to two. Pure happiness. Suarez ready. Here's the pitch. Burleson swings kind of pokes it in the air. That'll drop down. Shadow center field in the base hit. Merrill charges it. He's got no throw home and win will come into score. Seven to four San Diego the bottom of the night. Two and two. Suarez deals are anado swings. It's a sharp ground ball to short. Backhanded by McCoy the long throw is in time and the ball game is over. Redbirds get one in the bottom of the ninth but Mike Schilt and his Padre's come to St. Louis and beat the Cardinals seven to four in game one of this four game series. We don't have one hand on runs or huge so you know once we're here we're going to open it up you know Jack from the big two out dogs or two RBIs and others. It's great and bad. You know it's the lefty for another one out RBI and you know once we open it up you go get it maybe when the sack runs. Adon runs are huge says Mike Schilt and he is right but what do you need before you can add on runs runs. You need runs early runs and the Padre's got some early offense. It's such a difference maker for this team in particular when they can score like they did in the first inning Manny turning that Jake Cronoworth hit by pitch into a quick two nothing lead against Kyle Gibson and you know you'd need some offense with Randy Vasquez on the mount and he gave up a couple but I thought I thought the key to the you know kind of maybe even this whole series and the rest of the road trip when the Padre's added on that extra offense in the top of the fifth inning. I thought that Randy Vasquez was probably done. Oh yeah me too. It was he got through four scuffled a little in the fourth looked like he was teetering on the edge. He was closing in on 80 pitches and I thought yeah I think I'm good. Let's see. Let's see Maury Holm let's see Reynolds let's see Matsui you know use that back of the bullpen. They can be good sometimes and we'll see if we can get this to another win but when the Padres added on Mike Schultz sent Randy Vasquez back out for not just the fifth but he was so efficient the sixth is what I think the sixth then he needed just five pitches to get through and that is that is bullet saved for a a tax Padres bullpen. That was big in that game. Obviously they still went to Tanner Scott and Robert Suarez in the last couple of innings and heard a Matt Scravey on the post game show saying don't know if they should be doing that. Well that's that's what Mike Schultz does if it's within four pretty much he's going to be aggressive and use it uses bullpen like it's a safe situation even though technically it's not just assume that four runs as Mike Schultz cut off at you know at this point he wants to make sure he wins games. He's got a reason for it. I heard Matt saying I wonder if he's going to say anything about it. I think he's pretty much explained it yeah when the Padres are up for even in the ninth inning like yesterday if he brings in someone else they have to face three daughters and if they don't get the job done now I have to bring in Suarez and I'm putting him in a really tough situation maybe even facing the tying run at that point. I don't want to put any pitcher in a situation where if I can help it they don't have a bit of a safety net a little cushion like hey you walk the first guy you give up a blue single it's not the end of the world you go out there get the job done get your feel go out there so if it's a four run lead and you know he's got guys available he's going to his high leverage guys he's been very clear about that this season. I have less than zero problem with it. It's a trust thing and again if there wasn't a three batter minimum Sean Reynolds, Yuki Matsui and fine no problem oh man Yuki Yuki comes in and walks the first guy or Sean Reynolds comes in and can't find the plate you're done all right now I got to go to Suarez anyway he was already up getting hot but you know because again if one guy gets on Benny safe situation right right then so it just it's one of those things where Y mess around if Robert says I'm good to go I'm good to go they've done a good job at managing all of these guys workloads I don't feel like ass is overtaxed right now do you guys I certainly don't look at their usage and say we're going to fry these guys it may very well happen but I don't think it's happened yet so I have I have no problem with the way that games about that yeah if it comes down to a one run game in the last couple of innings today you'll go well that's too bad we don't probably have Scott and Suarez necessarily we still have Adam you still have a strata you've got some good pictures you can throw back there and and maybe you're up by eight or maybe you're down by five today you don't 100% you can't manage tomorrow's game today it's just a trust it's a you can plan for tomorrow's yeah sure but you can't manage it and because you just don't know what's gonna happen but you don't know if your starters get knocked out in the first or their starter is I it's a trust thing as much as it is I'm going to go for the jugular and get this win in the first game of this year's I'm gonna go for the jugular I'm gonna get the win I have no problem with an aggressive manager I think sometimes fans feel like oh well you know worst case scenario now now they can't hold on to a close lead and they end up splitting the two games no the worst case scenario is you don't go to your high leverage guys somehow lose the game today and then find out the next day we didn't need them anyway we could have pitched those guys yesterday because we were way up or way down or our starter went eight and we didn't need the back end of the bullpen I can't go back in time and put them back into the game yesterday so I'm just going to use them now when I know they can help me close out a win I just want to get a win now I it's at every level little league high school college adult ball pro ball the guys you can trust are the guys you go to when you need to win a game obviously you can't use those guys every single day he knows that and he's done a good job at managing it so far so I think I think last night was well managed I think it was well played well executed on on both sides of the ball um guy stepped up Jackson Merrill's AB off-libertor was incredible uh the lefty lefty's both of his run scoring at bats were terrific the one off Gibson the two run bases loaded after Zander couldn't get the job done hit that little dribbler little dribbler force of the plate puts puts Jackson up in a bases loaded two out situation pretty important part of the game yeah we're looking for uh you know a little add-on at that point and he comes through again and pretty much we were all sure he was going to honestly right I mean you you felt extremely yeah you have absolutely in Jackson Merrill in a situation like that anytime you get that kid up at the plate with a chance to drive in runs and do damage I mean especially lately he's he's one of the most trusted bats you have on your team but but what I thought was impressive you know Gibson got him in that first at bat got him down back foot slider I think breaking ball and like okay you know the rookie then comes back and makes an adjustment against pitcher I I mean he had seen him early in the season so Gibson made his adjustment because he homered off Gibson in in April then Jackson adjusted back in that next at bat just fantastic veteran stuff veteran stuff Tim Flannery said he's never seen a rookie adjust on the fly as much as as consistent as Jackson Merrill has done it this year and Tim Flannery has seen a lot of baseball a lot of baseball a lot of rookies a lot of great rookies a lot of great hitters played with a lot of great hitters he said his ability to just adjust on the fly so consistently makes him an absolute must tune in for me and that's what that's Tim's quote hi this is Jackson Merrill and Jackson and then the at bat against liberator that you mentioned you know just just to make it from six to two to seven to two there but that was such a fantastic and bad it happened to be right at about 619 which is when I typically have to walk into the studio for my 621 sports segment on channel 10 and I kept every at bat like fouled off a pitch I'm like going I want to see how this at bat yeah but I'm like I've got you know I've got ready to go I've got my earpiece in I'm ready to kind of jump in there but I don't want to miss the end of that bat I started walking like okay fouled off another one it's like I start walking then I realize no I've got like 10 more seconds so I run back to the television and I see the ball fall into right center feeling like I go go okay I think I can go safely do my do my TV job knowing that I got to see the end of that Jackson Merrill at bat yeah beautifully done and I don't many many hitting home runs after one of his guys gets plunked is a fun thing and AC had another stat we've told you when Manny Machado drives in two or more runs the potteries are 21 and 0 it's the old Emmett Smith every time he carries the ball more than 25 times they win 100% of the games why didn't they just get 25 for 25 play Manny just hit a two run homer and the first it's a guaranteed dove you guys can cruise in I thought he played brilliantly defensively as well brilliant uh and yeah just a really really solid game all around love that he got one pastor in auto too incredible just out of his incredible and he robbed Aaron Otto yeah to on that little dribbler Manny uh was quoted to AC and his new letter newsletter today says I just feel better said Machado who also doubled on a sweeper down on a way my body is able to do things I couldn't do months ago yeah when your body is able to do some things you can bounce back from things quicker yeah I mean he's he's he's had a nice you know he's hitting the ball hard we're really good extension on that home run that was the outside corner pitch just got his arms extended and drives it out to center most guys that's a fly out but with Manny Machado he's got the he's got the power to be able to drive that out to center field past nine games five for eleven two home runs double um on fastballs so he's he's on the heater right now uh but yeah man it's it's good to see when the the you know one of the leaders of the team steps up and gives you a spot to two nothing and and you can't say enough good things about Randy Vasquez and again he's not a real comfortable watch it somebody somebody said it's like playing Russian roulette yeah I mean he misses his spots a lot and he missed one the goldsmith that mud was like ah gotta gotta get higher than that there because Goldie had a good his only good swing of the night and he comes back to strike him out made an adjustment there but yeah man I just it's really fun to watch and and I saw people last night mad at Bryce Johnson for getting thrown out of the plate I'm like you guys don't you've heard of the contact play right when there's contact you run that's not a Bryce Johnson decision that is a mike shilt tim leaper decision right and I hit the ball you run yeah you got to make them make the right play come on guys let's be hot rays uh catch up a half game on the diamondbacks and dodgers who were not active yesterday yep because otherwise they probably would have won but uh three games
