It's time to get you up to speed on all things sports. Yes! Yes! Yes! With plenty of nonsense in between. Oh look, here comes our fan of this producer. Gwen and Chris starts right now on 97.3, the fan. And we kick off our version of the happy hour. At a place that's had nothing but happy hours all day long. Baja Rick's Cantino, let's hear it, it's starting to really fill up out here. I don't know if you can get that cry when you watch some food and drink before they get in the ballpark. The line for the bar is- It's pretty big, literally out the door. It's pretty big. We have a great crowd here, of course, and look, everybody wants to be down here at Peko Park. We're just a block away at the corner and sixth in L. So, if you are parking your car right now, somewhere, getting ready to move- You know, come on in for the game, stop by and say hello. Have yourself a quick shot of some Santo Super Premium, added a free tequila. They got drink specials, they got great food here. And Baja Rick's right here outside Peko Park. Cressello, Matt Scrabie, Tony Gwyn, Jr., Tony's getting ready for his broadcast. I do have an update from the big Apple Scrabie. Starling Marte, two-run single, Mets 4, Phillies, nothing. They're going to the top of the seventh inning now in New York, I'm not sure. I have to put more of my energy into what the Padres are doing right now because, you know, the winner of the Mets Philly series, we talked about it earlier, but it doesn't matter to me at all who wins, if the Padres don't, right? So, you know, the Padres got a win, but the Mets are trying to, they got the upper-handed game three. Sean Maniah, the former Padres, is only allowed two hits through six innings. We're winning, Chris. Ah, we're winning. Yes, see, six o'clock has come in, the Padres are going to win tonight, Chris. He's looking around, he's trying to figure out. I got to, I got to, Pete Alonso and Jesse Winker both homered in this game for the Mets. The American League series is off today. All right, Padres and Dodgers, Scrappy, we've talked a lot about everything going on outside, you know, the game. Yes. But Michael King pitches tonight, Walker Bueller pitches tonight. We heard about, from Dylan Hernandez, about Bueller's struggles, Michael King has all of a sudden become the ace, almost like the unquestioned ace of this team with Mushgrove down as great as Darvish is and was in game two, Dylan sees the stuff he has. I feel like everybody feels more confident with Michael King than anyone. Michael King is, let me just tell you, Michael King's a confident dude and I am confident with Michael King on the mound. After seeing what he's done all year long, what he's done in big games, I mean Michael King has been, we talked so much in the beginning of the year about whether or not Michael King was going to be able to go certain amount of innings if he was going to be able to adjust to the starting pitching role. We shouldn't have talked about any of it Chris because it's been seamless for him. He's the second year in a row that we picked up a pitcher who was basically a reliever, turned a full-time starter and neither Seth Lugo nor Michael King was supposed to be able to pitch more than 60 innings. True. And, you know, it just gets into my thinking about the way we baby these pitchers. You know, this is not the day for the conversation to be had, but I think it's a mindset too. There's something about this, both these guys have been like 60 innings, forget it. Seth Lugo was arguably other than Tarek Scooble, the best pitcher in the American League this year. Yeah, I mean, it's those two guys for the side. And he pitched all, he pitched a ton of innings, he had a ton of strikeouts. Michael King is, I don't know, nobody's out there right now going, boy, Michael King's kind of pushing his innings limit. No, not anymore. He's concerned about that tonight. He actually said last week that he's really, he's feeling great and he really wants to pitch 200 innings with the playoffs included. So they're going to have to go deep in the playoffs to get this done. But if he's able, I mean, that's, that was his goal coming into the year, Chris. So it's been a mindset thing for him. I got one thing for him tonight, 27 outs or 21, whatever you got to get tonight. You know, he's got to focus at this Dodger lineup is still scary. Darvish did an unbelievable job against them in game two. Michael King's going to need his wipe out stuff and his wits about him. You know, Tani's right there, Betz is in this unbelievable slump. I just, you know, I'm scared to death of Betz is going to, you know, get something before it's all over. You know, it's a good lineup. Potter's going to have to score some runs and make those plays defensively to keep the Dodgers at bay. All right. You want to play a little Chris versus the fans? Sure. All right. We can do that. Um, I got to give you the phone number 833-280973, Scrabie asked some questions. We can play a little Chris versus the fans if you want to dial in and play. I'd say now would be a really good time to dial in because we didn't really even know we were going to play. So all the lines should be open. Frank will take your call in the studio, get you set to play, Scrabie, I'm looking for the win, the prize. The prize is going to be a pair of tickets to Sublime with Rome at Gallagher Square on November 23rd, tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com. Do you listen? Sublime with Rome. Is that a name of a group? You know who Sublime is, right? Vaguely. Vaguely? Yeah. I'm not a music guy, but I mean, I know that whole CD by heart. I have gray hairs here, people on the side of my head. That doesn't matter. Everybody knows who Sublime is. No, not everybody knows who Sublime is. Do you know what Sublime is? People are showing their gray hair to show you that they have gray hair and they also know who Sublime is. Sorry. But you know the lead singer unfortunately passed away years and years and years ago, so Rome is the replacement singer. I don't know that years and years ago the guy passed away because that didn't even know the group. Sean Bradley, Sean Bradley, I know it's not Sean Bradley, it's Bradley. What's his last name? Why am I forgetting his last name? Oh, come on, mister. I know everything about Sublime. I do know that you apparently don't know that much. I said Sean Bradley was the old basketball player from BYU from BYU. There you go. There you go. Thank you. I got some guys helping me here. But there he is. The very sad story actually. Sean Bradley, as the front man for a band at 7'6" is kind of a comical thought to be genuine. Yeah, I don't know that he has dysultry tones that Bradley Noel had, but yeah. Sublime Jerome is the prize. That's the prize. All right. 833-288-0973. You're now Chris versus the fans work, but we're going to not do our open today, we'll just go right into it. No, I think we got the open. All right. Scrabby says play the open, Frank. If you had one shot, one opportunity to take down the human allman act himself, how would he do? Now is your time. Listen to me. This guy. Shagers. Now is your opportunity to win a prize. Well, I hope you know what you're in for. Chris versus the fans starts now on 97'3" the fan. You know what's my favorite, Chris, is that we have a couple people here calling in for Chris versus the fans from Baja Rick. Oh, they want it. Baja Rick's cantino, people that are here are going to be on the phone playing against me. Yes. Well, that's going to make it harder for me to cheat. And he finally admitted it out, he finally did. I knew if I said that you would jump over the side. Well, I'm just waiting. You know what? I actually thought about this on the drive home last night. Did you really? To the day, I'm waiting for the day that you tell me that you have been giving Tony the answers in Chris's fantabulous sports game show because I feel ghastly every single time. That will never happen because I don't give him the answers. Sorry, I can't tell you that. The rules, you have to make it through three questions. Each question will get more difficult. If you get the question right, you move on. If you get the question wrong and Chris gets it right, you are eliminated. But if Chris gets it wrong, then you move on to the next question or you win. And Chris versus the fans is presented by SD fat loss, lose 20 to 30 pounds in just 60 days. All right, we've got our people on the phone and I'm going to go to the first name I saw and he is here. Rod is over there, Chris. There he is. Rod is sitting over there. He's sitting over there. He's got both hands. He's sitting over there. He's sitting over there. He's sitting over there. He's sitting over there. He's sitting over there. He's got both hands. He's sitting over there. He's sitting over there. He's sitting over there. He's sitting over there. He's sitting over there. He's sitting over there. You hear it? If you're a fan of the YouTube chat, Rod is a big contributor to the YouTube chat. All right. Let's play some more at Christopher. Give him a question. Question number one. Rod, if you don't know this, I'm kicking you out of the chat. Who accused me of throwing a baseball at them on Sunday? Oh my God. The Old Stars, the one who instigated it, but Mr. Luke, manager. Come on, Robert. I need an answer. Hey, Robert. Come on. Okay. That was hilarious, actually, that he got pooped. Did he get it right or did he get it right? He didn't give it to Robert. Yes. It was Dave Robert's. Thanks for Dave Robert. I got to tell you one thing, man, you want to play this game live, man. These fans, people are going to boo you. That's right. They're getting ready for the game tonight. I thought I was going to fight for sure. Yeah. Be careful. All right. Question number two. What team did Luis Arise make his Padre debut against this year? This is a tough one. All right. This is great. Everybody's face has got like, huh? Everybody got the game when they get it, I remember that. Everybody, if you could see me, I got Dr. Beatt one-barred in my hand, but that walk-off again. Arizona. Diamondback. I can't believe it. But that is correct. You got it. That is correct. Wow. I can't believe it, but you got it. Rod. So here we go. Question number three. Rod's going to win. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. But that is correct. You got it. That is correct. Wow. I can't believe it, but you got it, Rod. So here we go. Question number three. Which Padre Homer against the Dodgers in game three of the 2022 NLDS, the first postseason game in front of fans at Pekko Park in 16 years? Can you repeat the question? It was a little fuzzy here. Which Padre Homer against the Dodgers in game three of the 2022 National League Division series? Don't give it to them. You didn't give it to them. That was at New York Yankee. I didn't even chat about it. That was the Yankee. Now, that's what the leader's name was. Frank Rickam. Transgression. He's going with it. It's correct. You got it. Rod wins it all. Look at it. Sorry to everyone. It runs a superstar. You guys shouldn't have given him the answers. Now you can't play. Right into the game. I can't believe it. You guys shouldn't have given him the answers. Now you can't play. Right into the game. Thank you, everybody. Wow. It's very strange to see Rod talking and then five seconds later hear him. Yeah, that was really good, Rod. Rod, I know your information, Rod. You're all good. I'll put you in there. You're good. You're going to win the tickets to see Sublime with Rome. We had a little round of Christopher the Van. I want to say congratulations, Rod is saying he beat me. He turnedly beat me, but I didn't get a chance to play, so that's the way you got to do it, man. You just get all the answers right? Absolutely. And then there's no, you know, I don't get involved in the game. So that was a good shot by Ron there. He is the winner of Chris vs. the fans today. All right. Are we going to do a Padres pen pals at the bottom of the hour? 440, yes. I felt like we should do something with everybody driving in. We should do something Padres related, but I did get some interesting questions about Dylan Sees, which we'll talk about at 440. Okay. All right. We'll take a break here. We'll check some traffic. We'll come back. Give you a little rundown. I mean, there's nothing else going on that matters, but just in case, you know, you're driving around. You want to know get caught up on the sports day. We'll have a little of that. More Padres Dodger talk from Baja Rick's cantina and I saw my man, Baja Rick, just a minute ago. Where'd he go? Baja Rick stand up. You guys, everybody, let's hear it from Baja Rick's the man, the man, he's the guy, man. He's the guy that has us all here today, partying Baja Rick's Baja Rick's Baja Rick's Baja Rick, ain't going back, ain't going back. Yeah, that was our previous. There he is. Ain't going back.

Hi, continuing our going and Chris get together here on 97-3 the fan Chris Elomatt Scrabie together at Baja Rick's Cantina just outside Petco Park where tonight it'll be game three Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Really a great nice crowd here today. So many people have come up and said hello. I'd love to repeat everybody's name. Who's coming said I'm pretty good with names. Sound just came up and but I mean there's been dozens of people. We appreciate people coming up all day long and saying hi. Nancy is a Scrabie Nader coming by to see us. Thank you to everyone who's here and it's a great crowd and everybody's excited. They got their pottery jerseys on. I'm not sure who let this guy in with the Dodger 42 but he's now being as a Jackie Robinson and Jackie Robinson's OK we'll put up with that. That's right. Couple of quick notes some other things going on we mentioned the Mets are four nothing over the Phillies in the bottom of the seventh. The Rockies today they're playing no of course not but they are hiring their manager Bud Black back for another season. It doesn't matter they could hire you know I don't know who's a great you know better manager than Bud Black I think he's a good one but as long as they just have an awful organization it's not going to matter who their managers ask you but I'm always happy for Bud Black when he's working and still in the game and yeah he did something very classy this year the bottom of the final game with Charlie Blackman. Did you see that? No what happened? Before the game. I don't watch many Rockies. Yeah I know nobody does. But when they when they ran out onto the field no he doesn't even know when they ran out in the field just for the first for the game that day Charlie Blackman was the only one they let run out there. Oh yeah. Ran out the center field is this final game he got all the adulation of the crowd all for him as a very class move I'm very you know I think that is a class move and I am just so excited that Charlie Blackman is no longer going to destroy the Padres a lot of people a single time a lot of people are happy about that one of the great pitchers and when in my you know childhood growing up watching him pitch in the world series was a Cuban right hander for the Boston Red Sox named Luis Tion it's great to be if you ever saw him pitch you would love him too Tion used to and he died today is why I'm bringing this up he passed away at the age of 83 but Luis Tion used to go up on the back leg and then he would pause and then he would corkscrew and look at second base then he'd come back then he'd stop again and then he delivered the pitch he was a showman out there and he was the number one pitcher for the mid 70s 1975 Red Sox who played the the Reds in that great World Series so sorry to see Luis Tion pass away today at the age of 83 and then there was one other interesting story I don't know if you heard this gravy what it came up about Walker Bueller today I did hear about this he said Santa need a race track a couple of weeks ago oh oh a Dodger doing betting things that's never happened before stop it stop it anyway this is a this is not a good story but he's there with his wife and Jack Flaherty was also there but thieves surrounded I mean he got mugged I mean this is this is this is all his watch right off his arm I mean that's that's some scary stuff that is definitely scary what the bill is okay so you know I don't condone that especially after what we saw with Ricky Pearsall being shot for his watch scary thing my question is why are we still wearing a hundred thousand dollar watches in public probably not the best idea I would agree with that now the big news in the NFL today if you haven't heard the Jets fired Robert Salle Salah Salah after a two and three start the word is excuse me the word is with with this firing I mean number one the Jets aren't doing very good again but number two is that he and Aaron Rodgers just have gotten to the point where they absolutely couldn't stand each other I don't blame and Mr. Salah well I don't either uh Salah was critical of Aaron Rodgers for going to Egypt on a vacation when he should have been at mandatory training camp and he said so he said you know I'm disappointed he's not here he's the leader of our team and for saying that Aaron Rodgers then decided well he's thrown me under the bus so I'm gonna hate him and you know like this should be on Aaron Rodgers the problem is Scrabby and you know this I know this they can't fire the quarterback so they fire the coach and that's what happens all these interceptions I believe it's Aaron Rodgers I'm not disagreeing with you uh Robert Salah you know had it got built a difficult hand last year with uh you know Rogers getting hurt but now that he's got Rogers I think people expected them to be a lot better and I brought this up the other day the Jets have scored the same number of points through four games this year as they did last year when Zach Wilson was their quarterback I know that's that's so I mean I guess that's a that's an indictment on what Robert Salah is doing but it's more of an indictment to me on Aaron Rodgers and he got the word also is that he was escorted out of the building like I don't think that Robert Salah was crazy and like flailing his arms and wouldn't leave but this this all stems from Aaron Rodgers it has to be that's the only thing I can think of and Robert Salah even said that last week when they had a bunch of false starts he said oh well the cadence was a little bit different and then Aaron Rodgers like nope cadence wasn't different at all so Aaron Rodgers knows what he's doing they hated each other and when that the owners chose Aaron Rodgers over his coach but that every owners going to choose a guy these paying five hundred million dollars to over the coach sorry I I am here's the only thing for Robert Salah I get it that he and Aaron Rodgers that didn't work out but you have to know as a coach if you can't forge a good relationship with your starting quarterback but what if your days are going to be numbered Salah from all I've heard throughout his time with the 49ers throughout his time with the Jets is he's a good coach a coach that he cares about his players this and and when and so I tuned into New York radio this morning just to hear what they were saying right and the they think the beginning of the end for Robert Salah this year was when Aaron Rodgers went to Egypt because that's what I said but but like the ownership is letting Aaron Rodgers slide and so the people in the locker in the other players are like this dude has no control over Aaron Rodgers how is he going to have control over other things and so he kind of lost the locker room that way now just unfortunate for him I will say this as a team that is going to finish probably in last place this year if the Jets don't and that's my dolphins I they could do a lot worse than bringing Robert Salah into coach of defense next year this guy can coach defense we know that and I think he's a really good coach I think he'll land on his feet but he may not ever get another head coaching job you know because of the fallout from his relationship with Aaron Rodgers and that's unfortunate but it works that way sometimes it's very unfortunate and I can't stand that Woody Johnson doesn't name Woody Johnson owner of the Jets I can't stand what he's doing and this is all going to end poorly for the Jets like how is this going to make them better Chris do you think Jeff Ulbrick the only way the only way I can get better is if they hire Nathaniel Hackett as coach I'm surprised he wasn't the interim coach how does that guy not get fired how does he keep getting jobs who is is anybody paying attention to this guy and how bad he is just so bad I hate picking on well I do no I don't hate picking on saying you don't now there's one other one other NFL note the New England Patriots today said that they're changing quarterbacks Jacoby Bursett out wow rookie Drake may in for the Patriots hey you can't lose to the dolphins this year they're going to take you out as your quarterback I've seen Drake may play a little bit he doesn't look ready well they're going to try him here's the funny thing to me if the Patriots tied in the other day puts his foot down in bounds like he should have Jacoby Bursett is still the starter because they don't won the game but the guy stepped out of bounds it was a terrible play also that wasn't Jacoby Bursett's fault you have to as an organization realize we're probably not headed for the playoffs this year let's try not to get our number one pick killed that's why Jacoby Bursett is here we're gonna allow him to get killed and then we have Drake may here's one more story 49ers feeling quote a lot of pressure amid two and three start the finger pointing is beginning in San Francisco radio up there is already a call from Kyle Shanahan's firing it is stupid that even I will say that and you know I always make fun of Kyle I don't want Vance Joseph to be the new as new head coach of the 49ers that would be idiotic if you're the 49ers the Mets scored again five nothing six nothing six nothing it's all metropolitan today hopefully it'll be all Padres tonight the National League Division series is 90 minutes away we have one more segment of Padre pen pals coming up on Gwen and Chris Scrabby wrapping things up our final segment today from Baja Rick's cantina right here outside Petco Park great crowd thanks to everybody who's come down today and joined us here in 97 through the fan as we get ready for game three of the National League Division series Padres and Dodgers a couple of quick notes first of all Padres are announcing as they should zero tolerance tonight yes for anybody throws anything on the field so we've talked about this before but let the Dodger fans be the ones that do that let's not us do that and let's cheer and go crazy and make life miserable for LA but let's let's not do what they did I'm really hoping that the Padres fans will you'll not get caught up in that and you're going to get thrown right out of the game yeah put taken to jail it's kind of like not really a good even a risk you sure to do it I'm just kidding correct yes I'm sure trust me as a guy who is once spent a night in jail it's not the best place in the world why you even want to think of it so let's let's not do that the other thing is this great yeah the Padres have just tweeted out and if you can hear us here you might want to do this but Ticketmaster apparently is experiencing technical difficulties so the Padres are asking you to download your tickets to your mobile wallet before you head to the ballpark they yeah that's it they're encouraging all fans to download their tickets to their mobile wallet for ease of entry so if you're trying to get your tickets on Ticketmaster right now and you can't do it just make sure you try and download them and you will be able to use them as you enter the stadium all right one more thing before Kelly Danick gives us a check of traffic yes I bet there's a lot of traffic in and around Petco Park right now yes let's find out all right Petco Park is buzzing Baja Rick's cantina buzzing Chris here Scrabby there and Tony of course inside getting ready for the broadcasters with us earlier I just want to touch on a couple more things and then we're going to get to our Padre pen pals yes number one there is actually someplace kind of fun to go tonight if you're totally not coming to Petco Park oh yeah yeah the new basketball arena and Oceanside is opening tonight mmm the Clippers the Clippers you're playing the Nets I think it is tonight I know it's a preseason game but you could see the first sporting event inside the new what is it front line arena front waves thank you front wave thank you Hamby the front wave arena notion side and I understand the game is a sellout tonight wow really to see the Clippers and Brooklyn's direction have fun with that tonight hey just one step closer to getting an NBA team maybe I don't know that front wave arena is gonna how we don't have a place to play it's the same problem we always have here is my answer to everything that's not big enough I know it's not big enough thirteen thousands not big enough for an NBA franchise sorry I know the other thing is tonight this is for me not you or anyone else probably but it's opening night in the NHL just throwing that out there back already what a reaction we got from the crowd here thank you Frank you know like says hockey he knows what I'm talking about you know what reminds me of the NHL season what when the NHL season starts it reminds me that basketball is almost back and it seems like the NBA just ended like three weeks ago yeah they don't have very long off seasons anymore they had the Olympics this year well hopefully the Padres will continue on their quest to make this year's off season pretty short as well oh that would be fantastic right that's the idea I would love that we got a rally chain over there what what was that thing called um was it the rally chain no the rally chain what was it called I wasn't called that but I can't remember what it was called swatching swag chain that's it I forgot all about swatching for an handle all right let's play well not play but I don't think we have the open so it's not a big deal alright just to take it away then what do we do usually we do the big five at this time and the big five is usually brought to you by Summit Subaru Velco home see all the two ways to save right now at Summit Subaru dot com now the first one is about Dylan Sees and I got this on Sunday I love Dylan Sees but I am not sold on Dylan Sees as an ace for this team right now has he been an ace this year for the Padres that times he has but Saturday night I was nervous heading into the game thank you Frank wondering which seats we were going to get we got the not bad Dylan Sees we got the less than stellar Dylan Sees Chris do you guys have full and total faith in Dylan Sees each time he goes out there that's a tough question I mean I have faith in Dylan Sees for sure every time he goes out there even when he doesn't pitch well I mean unfortunately you know pitching well is not a guaranteed thing for anyone the other guys are trying to hit too I don't think Dylan Sees had the a plus command that he normally has and he walked too many guys that's what killed him I know the Otani home run is big blow but there you know there are two guys he put on base before that was what really hurt so yeah I have great confidence in Dylan Sees he's got amazing stuff no hit stuff when he's on he wasn't on the other night that's just you know a hang with him I do understand where this person is coming from because there have been periods of time where Dylan Sees doesn't give up a hit and there have been and that's legitimately he had a no interest here and had what was it six starts where he gave up like two hits total but then there's other there's other outings where he gets in trouble early and then it does spiral on him yeah and that there's another dog in a jersey Chris over there game over game over that's right but I understand why this is being said I think that Dylan Sees ran into a show here Tony Buzz saw there is so much fanfare around that that he you know he didn't have he didn't pitch bad but he had bad locations as Mike Schildt said on some of his pitches so I have faith in Dylan Sees but I'm not necessarily thinking it's going to be shut shut down outing every single time but I will take Dylan Sees over other pictures right now I'll say I say at the exact moment I have more confidence in you Darvish than Dylan Sees but that's just at this exact moment and that's what because of what we saw on Sunday exactly alright the next one let's talk about a topic Tony and Chris hate who has been the Padres MVP so far in this postseason I say it's you Darvish even though he pitched one game it was a game the Padres Padres absolutely had to have who would you choose for the playoff MVP so far I'm a first after four games this is why they started let's talk about a topic Tony Chris hate yeah I hate this topic I think Fernando Tuck he's shooting here is the MVP right now because of everything he's done he's got an OPS over 2.00 as Chris would like me to say 21 Hondo 21 Hondo he's hitting like almost 500 he's got some home runs he's been amazing and when someone threw a beer at him the other night in the stance he just turned around and he did a little dance which made me happy I thought he caught it and drank it no no Fernando has ever driven here in his life I thought he was that amazing that he just caught it out a bit air he probably finished it that would you know what Chris that would be on my list of things to do if I was still a drinker catch a beer and mid-air and drink it what do you think well I think Fernando is too but I'll give you a you know at least give you a you know one other guy right now I think the gosh yokas having a great postseason don't forget he's your number nine hitter oh he gives you a home run every game and plus he's playing great defense he's catching these guys you know calling a game so gosh you could be my runner up right now but you've got to go Fernando with a 21 100 OPS do you think because we're seeing it right now and you just said it gosh you okay it's a home run every game do you think that he's going to start every game or do you think we're going to see at some point Elias Diaz well we saw him late in the game yeah I think you're going to see a gosh yoga until further notice I do you know why not right now I mean you know you you substitute catcher during the regular season because you're trying to keep guys fresh there's no need to keep a gosh yoga fresh anymore you know what I mean yeah he's going to have a lot of time to rest he's going up right hopefully he's got another 10 11 games left or whatever it is so yeah I nothing against Diaz but a gosh yoga is too too valuable right now to take out way too valuable just imagine I mean if he was still in New York he wasn't he was a throw in to that trade and he ends up being one of the most important parts of that trade I don't think a trailer considered him a throw in we considered it a throw in yeah and that was our mistake this guy and then he becomes a great catcher for the Padres all right we've seen Robert Suarez get two saves here in the postseason and the talk has shifted away from him being a liability as the closer Chris do you think Robert Suarez is quote unquote fixed fixed first I think he has one save because I think the first game he had a four run lead that did not count as a safe check this person but there you go well I think he's I don't think he was ever a hundred percent broken I mean he was not having great location there for a while I'm hoping his location is back but I caution everybody and these playoffs so far we've seen Josh Hader blow the series yes we have seen Emmanuel Claus say yesterday give up a bomb maybe the best blues again we have seen who else blew something there was another Frank if you know pop in Frank it was somebody in the first round oh Devin Williams get home runs so you know I caution you man these closers are great but these hitters yeah you grew up a fastball they can hit a home run so as far as there's no guarantee that's why when I get a lead I like to add to it yes I don't want to leave him with a one run thing every time you know I want him to have a little room to operate never never too many insurance rounds no we've seen that before season do I think Robert Suarez is quote unquote fixed like you said I don't think he was broken but I'm not gonna lie when he came in against the brains I was a little nervous and he ended up doing all right he ended up you know doing what he needs to do and then he came out and closed down the game the other not the other night but you know I'm saying two brave games he finished yes he has a piston the Dodger series correct and I feel 100% comfortable with him pitching right now he I feel comfortable with him but that kids and guaranteed he's gonna get a one two three inning every time it's you know I hate to say it the old it's baseball the other guys are trying to hit the ball you know so are they yeah is that the name of the game yeah all right final Padres pen pals topic here is this do the Padres need to extend that Louisa rise this offseason I love the dude he's a savage I love Louisa rise to arise I it's not a rise it's a rise like he's saying the wrong way it's like all rise but it's a good good way of remembering it right do they need to extend him this offseason I mean he's got one more year of arbitration but I think they do need to extend him he has proven that he is an important part of this lineup he has proven that he fits as a San Diego Padres and to me he has proven that he wants to be a San Diego Padres now I don't know what the money looks like that for someone like Louisa rise and I don't think he makes as much as we may think he would but I think they need to lock him up this offseason have no questions going into next year about him being lame duck or anything like that I love Louisa rise he's a gamer and I hope he's with the Padres for a long time to come what about you yeah it's not my pocketbook and again I know the Padres gonna have to play that money game but you know I want Louisa rise on this team I think it fits perfect here yeah in a city that you know gave us the greatest singles you know line drive hit or main history the sport you know Louisa rise can be appreciated you know and yeah you know how much I like him yes so you're a big fan yeah I hope they I hope they re-sign him all right so that's it mine thanks Padre pen pals we got about 10 minutes left here Scrabby the Phillies finally got on the board they scored two runs in the eighth inning Harper and Castellanos had the RBI's but it's hardly enough at the moment Mets still lead Philadelphia 6 to 2 in the bottom of the eighth inning the real job here was done by Sean Menaya the former Padre all he did today seven innings three hits one run struck out six brilliant performance Sean Menaya was this I know he started out okay and then he just really was not great he wasn't great for the Padres but he pitched a great game today for the Phillies Jesse Winker Peter Lonzo hit home runs two RBI's a piece for Jose Lasius and Starling Marte that's the story with the Mets 6 to batting in the bottom of the eighth inning tomorrow you're gonna have the baseball smorgasbord again smorgasbord yes all four series will be in action tomorrow but you know we don't have to worry about any of those let them get their thing out of the way our game four is the six o'clock tomorrow night I'm happy that the baseball has kind of assigned the Padres the six night you know the six o'clock Mike did well they do love the ratings and ratings between the Padres and the Dodgers that's what they're getting and maybe Dave Roberts is just trying to bump the ratings I you know what Fox probably slipped him a little and a hundred dollar bill yeah and said you know can you can you whine and cry as much as possible about Manny Machado throwing a ball at you yeah and his life flash before his eyes it was an unsettling quote his life flash before his eyes I mean when you okay he didn't even see it until somebody told him about it the word unsettling is where I take fault in this thing unsettling means you were legitimately scared like and Mike Schilke said it earlier in his press conference if Manny Machado wanted to hit Dave Roberts with the baseball he could easily hit Dave Roberts with the baseball well Mike Schilke didn't say that fully he just said I've been around Manny a long time and I think he's got a pretty good arm and it's pretty accurate that's what he said Mike Schilke's comments were really good today and he was asked he was put into the gun to you know respond to Dave Roberts's claims that's your manager he's you know he's all of our manager actually you can't have him only for yourself but his comments were really good today and you know to me represented his ball club his city with class and you know spoke to the situation the way it should be spoken and you know as I said earlier I'm hoping I'm right but it seems to me that Dave Roberts is focused is on the wrong stuff right now and I hope the Padres I know the Padres focuses on the right stuff and I hope it makes a difference in the next two games it just it just feels good that we're on this side with the Padres of like not falling for those traps these are not falling for shenanigans these are these are little things that the Dodgers are trying to do to get under the skin of Manny Machado even Dylan Hernandez co-signed up my crazy conspiracy theory that maybe they were trying for a suspension of Manny Machado that's why they sent it to the league they sent that video to the league you know what I've discovered here Scrabby with seven minutes to go in the show nine minutes actually to go in the show that I'm really smart no it's going to take a little longer for that but what I have discovered with nine minutes to go in the show is that my voice is not going to make it nine minutes you know I got nine more minutes my voice is giving away oh my goodness I have been screaming into the microphone above this din for three straight hours and it's a good thing that you're not allowed to cheer in the press box tonight because I don't believe that I'm going to be able to cheer can you kind of hear it going a little a little a little yeah it's starting to strain I must say I think you're going to make it the next eight minutes by the way I totally show here Tony's up in one hour and 14 minutes I'm sure the Fox broken on the news this morning saying show where Tony's up tonight today's that really bothered me today is the one your anniversary unfortunately of the war in the middle oh wait a minute show you Tony is up in an hour and twelve minutes everybody crap around the TV I mean I got to say it like now that you're saying it like that it's making me laugh so I like that well we have to laugh Chris because that's the only thing we can really do here yeah I just I don't know I just hope that the Padres could take care of these next two games so we don't have to worry about a Friday game in LA I don't think that the Padres on the road are much different team than they are at home they've been better on the road and they've proven that all you have to shrink from a game five and you know I said the same thing you know the other day I'll say it again I think a lot of us feel like you know since the Padres wrapped it up in four two years ago came here and won two straight games that it's kind of you know just gonna happen again and I know that it could and I hope it does but the Dodgers are not going to step aside now so the Padres are gonna have to play two really fantastic ball games be nice to come up with a couple of key hits neither team is really doing great with runners in scoring position in this series yet Padres are four for 19 the Dodgers are for 21 but couple of key hits I'll take the I'll take half as many home runs today as we had in game two I want the same defense from game two yes and I think that'll the rest will take care of itself I'll take seven home runs you want you want a new record tonight yeah new record yeah I mean what else like we said yesterday this team has done so many incredible things that have never happened before that's another one that's a lot to ask for that is a lot to go park in a playoff game but you know let's you know it doesn't matter what the score is just get it done king pitch as well you know gotta be you know aggressive and take it to Bueller right away and I've said it all along yeah I don't know if this is our time you know it feels like the month of October but I feel like it might be yes and I'm you know I'm with we there's no way to know the Padres still need you know not just two games in this series but they need two more series after this and you know it's so tough to win the whole thing but and but we've never wanted here in San Diego and I know that you know if the steam wants it half as bad as we all want it we're in pretty good shape yeah I and I think they do I think you know I mean this is this is like if you want to cement yourself in San Diego sports lore forever if you want to never buy another drink at Baja Rick's or any place or any place in San Diego win a world series win the world series people were getting uncomfortable with our parade talk yesterday I gotta tell everyone we do not have any control over the results even if we talk about the parade I know but I would like to be in a perch somewhere along a parade route no you're gonna ride with me I'm gonna drive I don't want to my car you're gonna be the passenger waving out the side and Tony and Jesse you're gonna be in the back on top doing the poke wave doing the thing yeah that's what we're gonna do for the parade that's how I'm gonna get all of us into the parade oh we got to be in the parade because can't you see Ben and Woods with their own car decorated you know those guys they do stuff like that yeah because they're good at it we're not sure well yeah they're good at that we'll be out there handing out stickers and we're not sure that's a planning that might be partially the producer of this show that's not very good at playing well that's why I'm telling you what we're gonna do if there's a parade I I I people ask me all the time what's the hardest part of your job and I say organization I am not the most organized person on earth I will fully admit that he's not here so you can say this honestly and nobody will tell them what rate the three of us in terms of organization oh the three of us on this show oh well a gelato pure water sure would be nice about thank you thank you very much so nice that you came by appreciate it thank you gelato pure water yeah I've seen this before and I'm sure this isn't booze but it does say water no it is water okay I've seen it before okay wait let's cheer we're gonna get a picture we're gonna get a picture we're gonna get your letter thank you for that news letter Chris knows what a news letter is anyway organization whose top give it make me a ranking of the three of us in the news in the organization you I know I'm number one by far and away number one I think I I'm number two just because I have to be you just said you're terrible so it just does I just want you to know where you just put Tony below that what do we remind Tony before you leave studio every time to remember his wallet do you have your self do you have your water bottle with your name on it because you've lost them so many times I hate to say it's true it's true absolutely true I don't really know I mean Tony is pretty organized in the booth and he doesn't necessarily have to have a bunch of papers in front of him when we're doing the show he would leave his keys in the studio every day if there was not a need for them to start the car do you know what I mean yeah like only the fact that they're needed to start his car is why he remembers his keys because otherwise they would just sit there the whole time one time when we I was doing this crazy show I look over and I see his phone I'm like everybody he's gonna be back here shortly yeah he walked back in three minutes later because yes he does have a car that he needs a phone to start real quick I want to remind everyone and then we're going to check our legal identification but I want to remind everyone ticket master apparently is having some problems so if you're heading down here right now and you can't get your ticket or if you can get your ticket make sure you download it to your mobile wallet it'll make it much easier there's a lot of people down here a lot of self service being used so it's not as easy as just getting your ticket so again if you bought your ticket on ticket master download it from ticket master into your mobile wallet alright Frank we need to check our legal ID alright we got a couple minutes the Mets have added a run they take a seven to two lead to the ninth inning against the Phillies Phillies coming to bat down by five in New York Mets hoping to go up two games to one same thing for the Padres tonight if they can beat the Dodgers but you gotta go out and get the job done gotta go out play a tremendous game and I think it's going to the atmosphere is going to be worth the worth it I can't even imagine like cuz the Braves it was loud the last time of the dog two years it's super loud I don't even know what it's going to feel like like the stadium actually shakes it's so crazy and that there's nothing like a good crowd roar Chris I love it well good thing to the music we got to thank Frank Marquesi back there in studio thank you Frank Frank appreciate you Adam Clue thanks for everything Tony up in the booth there thank you to everybody here
