Gwynn & Chris On Demand
10.10.24 Gwynn & Chris Full Show: Padres Manager Mike Shildt joined us!
Hey everybody welcome into going in Chris Why do I sound so happy? I mean after that game last night is pretty difficult. I gotta tell you Scrabie That was one of the worst parties. I've ever been to and it was a long night for the faithful But alas, there will be a game five and the Padres can certainly win it But today it is the day off With the series now tied it to between the Dodgers and the Padres Chris Ello and Matt Scrabie together in our Odyssey Palace studios here in San Diego Tony Gwen Jr. at Dodger Stadium where game five will take place tomorrow night and Tony, I think It would be appropriate if Scrabie played the sound of a flushing toilet right now because Padres need to just flush that one last night and get on with business Yeah, I mean listen me personally. I this is where I thought this was series was going the whole time. Yeah, I thought it would go five here we are and You know, it's you know the ships fall where they may at this point and The Padres, you know when you look at the four games that we've seen The those are special ingredients Padres have really only gotten that One game yet. They've been able to win to now. I think the the miniature concern and I put the miniature part in quotations Is you know the offense haven't scored what 14 and 15 innings something or longer you're going 15. Yeah, 15 innings so that's a miniature concern, but I Just have to imagine in a game five that that's gonna go out the window And I think you know use on the mound. I'm assuming it'll be You I don't know if they've announced it yet, but I'm assuming it'll beat you All hands-on deck and listen man. This is a for the guys on the field man This is like literally the things they they dreamt dreamt up before then some of them have been through an elimination game some of them haven't but This is this is where this series was destined to go. I feel like yeah It was it would have been lovely to win three straight You know or even you know do what the Padres did two years ago and sweep the two at home and take it down in four But again, we kept we kept saying it and the Dodgers are you know all that and then it's a proud franchise It's one that has not had the kind of success that it would like to have in the postseason But I and we knew they weren't gonna roll over last night. They did not and Dave Roberts I think you know managed a terrific game as it turned out You know he pushed all the right buttons But the reason he pushed all the right buttons is because in every time the Padres threatened You know they were unable to come up with a big hit and it just that's how it turned out last night I don't know what Dave Roberts is gonna do for game five I'm sure there's been no announcement and Dave Roberts will keep it secret as long as he can But I got to believe they're gonna do the same thing in game five I really do I I would be surprised if Yamamoto is allowed to start that game I think the Dodgers honestly will start Ryan Frazier. I think they'll go with the same plan and I think this time it's gonna burn him I don't know that you can win back-to-back games doing this as John Smoltz has said throughout these playoffs If you do a bullpen game then eight guys have to all be on their game and as it turned out last night all eight guys for the Dodgers were pretty much on Their game, but I got to believe the Padres are gonna get him if they do it again I still feel the utmost confidence in this Padres team. I think it's understandable to be You know concerned and worried and you know a little negative I mean you just lost eight to nothing after all But I really have a lot of faith I think this team is one of the best the potters have ever put together and Maybe for that reason Tony. There's more at stake tomorrow night than maybe there's ever been Yeah, I I don't think they'll go with you don't Brazier to start. I think they're gonna go with Yamamoto Huh or fly off or flarity for that matter or both and still have those arms to that they can go to I don't think they could they could run out the same exact group and Expect the same type of success considering that you know these guys are especially brazier He's been out there quite a bit and they said I think he's picked and all but one of the the games in the end of the four And so I don't know we'll see I think you listen you're paying Yamamoto quite a bit of money I would I would guess he is going to be your guy at least to start the game It doesn't mean he's gonna have a long leash. I mean he certainly they will pull the plug And I think that goes for both sides. Honestly. Yeah, if if if the starter doesn't get out the gate Well, he won't be in there long and so you know, I think and That's why it makes this game so intriguing because I agree with Smolte like you you could pull it off one game Can you pull it off to though? I mean without getting a bulk guy because that was what was I thought was impressive about yesterday They didn't really have a bolt guy. Everybody went nobody went more than an inning and two-thirds in that game last night So, you know, that's you know, that's I ran out of spots for the pitchers I had to create one on my list be to fit to fit land and neck in there at the end but Yeah, you tip your cat as you said I think you said it perfectly Chris. That's a proud franchise They got embarrassed two years ago. They got embarrassed last year And I think that that was on their mind and they they punched the Padres in the face that being said I still think the Padres are in a better spot going into a game five than the Dodgers Well, we're gonna have Mike Schilt on the program here in about a half an hour So we'll get a chance to talk with the Padres skipper stick around for that We're on for two and a half hours today ahead of Thursday night football It is the the quasi 49er pregame show today, Tony 49ers and Seahawks Thursday night. Oh, see Hawks. Yeah, come on. See Hawks. I'm wearing my 49er shoes today. You're 40 Niners shoes All right, you're not you're not what you get you got a new hoodie there buddy. I did. Yes. Thank you I see Tony on the camera now. You got a new hoodie there buddy. Yes I Decided to step up my my clothes game a little bit Isn't it amazing that he can just take one look at you in the camera and it's pretty amazing and Be able to understand that you have a new piece of clothing It's not that amazing T-shirts the rest of the time, so you know, I do have a uniform I had an extra friend that asked me if I could not wear my uniform to the dinner her birthday dinner Which is jeans and a black t-shirt. I've never seen any other color on you unless the 49ers jersey That's it here are my 49ers shoes right Only do you got a new hoodie, but you got some new kicks, too. I like it. He's ready to go. Yes Yeah, there's been a lot of you know I want to say negativity today, but it's understandable You know doubt about the Padres right now But I want to bring up something that is you know on the positive side and I think something hopefully you Padres fans can lean on going into game 5 this is gonna be the fourth winner take all game in the history of the Padres franchise and They won each of the previous three so, you know, let's hope that that continues 1984 they took it to a deciding game of the NLCS Your dad Tony had what proved to be the game-winning hit and a rally they came from three nothing down that day Beat the Cubs six to three to get to the World Series you have the winner take all game in front of no fans And that was against Mike Schilt and the Cardinals and interestingly the Padres used a bullpen day that day Craig Stanman started That game right and they shut out the Cardinals 4 to nothing and then the other winner take all game Is of course the famous Joe Musgrove victory over the Mets six to nothing a couple of years ago? So, you know the Padres have done this before Not this team, but you know, we've had success and I think by the time it starts tomorrow I think everybody's gonna be in a lot better frame of mind than they are right now because right now everybody's understandably pretty down and out Yeah, I don't know what I'd say about everybody being down and out In the perfect world, yeah, the Padres would have swept the Dodgers and we'd be on cheering waiting for this series and start against the Mets But come on. I mean listen the Dodgers finished with the best record in baseball like This this this we got a we got to keep things in perspective and as good as the Padres are playing This is still a really good team across from them and Unfortunately, one of their best players has started to heat up in the line I think that's made a huge difference in their lineup, right? I mean You could although the Padres really have it intentionally walked Otoni I think they've done it once in this series or twice in this series something along those lines There was you could make the argument through the first what three games. It was like, okay. Well, we could do that We could our first two games at least We can we can we can move past Otoni and deal with bets because he's not swinging the bat Well, that's not really an option right now And I thought was it was impressive what they do is they did that without Freddy Freeman in their lineup I mean they did they just and so if I say that to say this is a good team That the Padres are playing against and so, you know Despite all the warts that we read about and heard about during the course of the season that they have It's still a really good team and so, you know, we get to you get to tomorrow. I just I like our chances man I really do I think this team more than any team. I've observed this team when I mean to send me the Padres Can flush a game and act like nothing ever happened the following day like as well as anyone and so I'm putting my faith in that as they roll out there tomorrow My I like I said, I like this team's chances in a game five. I think something to keep an eye on doesn't necessarily mean it'll come to pass but if he I was thinking about the way runs have been scored in this series Tony and The home run ball has been such a big part of it now the Dodgers have scored 22 runs This series all but eight of them have come in on home runs Padres have scored 21 runs all but eight of theirs have come in on home runs You know it may come down to one swing somewhere or a couple of swings somewhere Especially in a game five with the pitching the way it's been in this series So, you know obviously the Dodgers have a little edge in a home run hitting but the Padres have a you know all throughout this lineup we've seen these guys come up big all year long and It was interesting on the round table this morning Ben asked us Who do we think is going to be our pick to click? For the Padres in game five who's going to come through and you start thinking about it It could be Fernando it could be Manny it could be Merrill it could be Croninworth it could be hagashioka the way he's hitting the pro season It could easily be pro far with another magical moment Potters have a lot of guys and it's just gonna take one or two of them to come through. I think tomorrow night I said that's a great. Yeah, it's like that's a great way to look at it I think obviously Todd He's gonna be the easy pick to click cuz yeah He's the hottest dude on the planet, but they could easily be Manny You know it could easily be Luis it could be all those guys that you named But what's gonna have to happen is you know the Padres Frankly didn't play well yesterday, you know there they they made some uncharacteristic decisions and mistakes and that in a game five though it has you got to at least play clean Right that if you don't play clean now you're depending on the other team not playing clean as well Because in these type of games those mistakes are magnified to the like 10th power and And so you know I think Yesterday was the first game in the playoffs were the Padres. I thought like didn't play well You know they did some uncharacteristic things. Well first time in what six seven games I'm going to that's a ground ball that Bogart's gonna get 99 out of a hundred times for him to end up costing It was three runs I mean it was five nothing and by the time that inning was over or the game was over Fernando had an uncharacteristic Mistaken right field where he kind of tried to pick up the ball and then he kicked it into the corner I mean it didn't have costing them anything on that well, but but those but to your point those are the Thankfully it didn't cost him on that one if that would have been bets or somebody who actually could run that would have turned into Three at that point. So, you know and that's this I said that that was a I will say that place was I mean at the beginning game dog it was Crazy electric like they played that Travis Scott fiend song when they ran out there dude at play I'm I the hair on my arm And you know and it just goes to show you we witnessed it here in the first couple of games You can but one quick run for the visiting team all of a sudden like changed it all Yeah, and if you keep adding to that they don't even get a chance to get into the game And that's how it was at Peko last night right frickin mookie Homers to the left the buzz immediately is killed and then because we don't counter like we did the first night They never really got back into that game, you know And we did the Padres never really got a chance to get them back into the game and so You know and each of the games that we've seen Early runs have been scored and in in at least the the first two occasions Crowd really wasn't able to get into it now in game one Dodgers came back Never got a chance to get back in the game in game two game three Mookie homers Padres counter Padre fans kind of got back in it yesterday They never got into it after that that the after everybody got to the field. It was pretty much One of the more quieter crowds That was nothing that wasn't there for all it was just they never got the chance to choose You're about blaming me. Yeah, I'm blaming what I say. No, no, you're just there You were just at the game was I not at the game on Tuesday night and not for the whole thing. I don't think oh brother They start scoring runs what you left ridiculous ridiculous I say the other thing that you know a lot of people have been kicking around today And I think it's mostly revisionist thinking and Monday morning quarterbacking But you know this the decision to start Dylan Cease and that didn't work out I mean there's no argument about that, but we'll discuss you know what Mike Schiltz options might have been and Some other things game five is tomorrow night. I don't think I know what Tony's gonna say It doesn't matter anymore. It's only matter what happens tomorrow night, but we'll continue to discuss We got some time to feel so yes, we do the Dodgers Padres will talk about a little bit Mike Schilt will be on the show Coming up at 240. So he's about 25 minutes away stick around for that. Tony's in Dodger Stadium Padres will be there tomorrow night for game five. We got Gwen and Chris right now on 97 3 the fans 2 22 Gwen Chris, hello Matthew Scrading Padres licking their wounds a little bit after Getting whooped last night at home Losing out on the chance to clinch But they have a chance to have it be so much sweeter in Dodger Stadium Perhaps having a chance to celebrate two times in the same year on this field We'll find out to we'll find out Tony. Yeah, good recollection. Yeah, you already you're already in the clubhouse for a champagne thing down there So sure was I wasn't ready that day, but I'll be ready tomorrow if that is indeed the case. Yeah Padres five oh eight tomorrow here on Chavez ravine Dodger Stadium I Think it's gonna be a great one. I really do it. So at this point. It's the only series that has gone five Course we could find out tonight if two more will go five into the in is it guardians? taking on the Guard Tiger Tigers right tigers ahead to one in that series and then the Yankees Taking on the Royals Yankees ahead to one in that series So we'll find out if the Padres will be the only game five Certainly those those American League games will be on Saturday if they do reach a game five. Yes, they will both play tonight We should also mention because I'm thinking You know and believe in the Padres are gonna win so let's give you just just an idea of when the NLCS is gonna start they've announced the start times for the first two games here in San Diego Sunday would be a five oh five starter five oh eight Monday get this Tony Monday for game two would be one o'clock in the afternoon So something to just put scribble in the in your calendar somewhere and when the Padres win tomorrow night then you'll be set for the Start of the NLCS five o'clock Sunday one o'clock Monday. I feel like and I could be wrong. I could I feel like That is That might be because you listen because You got the Mets are gonna be on the Nash League side for sure. Let's let's fast forward say is the Padres Facing the Mets then you'll have possibly Yankees and whoever right and they're gonna want to put the Yankees in prime time The Yankees are gonna get the prime time spot But it in some ways though It works better for Major League Baseball to have a West Coast and East Coast Game because now you can fit two games into the prime time area, right? The Padres will be at four o'clock Eastern right on the East Coast time and that Yankee game will start eight o'clock So you'll be able to for Major League Baseball It works best when they get in LCS is a LCS is on opposite sides of the coast Cuz now you can fit both games in prime time area and get the most bang for your buck no doubt I am of the belief on the Dylan Seas starting the game last night Look all of the and I'm gonna say analytics. I'm not it. You know, I'm not a fan, but the analytics have borne out over the History of the wild card round 1995 it started. So we're looking at 30 years of data Teams that use a starter on three days rest have a record of 61 and 90 It's now 61 and 91 So, you know, that was part of it. Dylan Seas also never pitched on three days rest before but and it did backfired It didn't work and you know, did it cost them the game? I'm not so sure they didn't score so it may not have mattered who pitched but I'm at the belief Tony that Mike Schultz started Dylan Seas because if he used anything else whether it be Martin Perez or a bullpen dare whatever he wanted to use last night He would have then had to go with Dylan Seas in game five. I don't think he could have told Dylan Seas Hey, we're skipping you in game five So this way by using cease he gets the guy he wanted on the mound for game five Which is you Darvish. He said it out of his own mouth in the presser. He you know, let me put You know, I actually took a recording of this on my nice new little app called otter all right. Yes, the other the whole Conversation in it in a trend puts in the transcript. He actually said That and I'll find the exact quote, but he said at the end of the day. I get Darvish in game five Yeah, I'll take that. Yeah, so I think you're right. I think he wanted to have I mean if worse came to worse He felt better. I think about Darv going in game five and I don't think he would say that out loud But he was comfortable. I should say with Darvish going in game five, especially the way He looked here in LA and I said this last night the thing that came to mind Instantly as the Dodgers started to kind of swing the bats In this series they have done really well Against the Padres more firmer throwers guys who throw the fastball more They got Dylan in game one. They got Michael in game three although Michael settled in nicely and was able to give them You know get through five innings They didn't get that from Darvish Darvish who you know, shape shifts and changes, you know, all kinds of different breaking balls They struggle mightily against Darvish whereas C's and King at least they seem to be hunting the fastball a little bit more Than I think we're used to seeing the Dodgers do often times almost seem like they're they're guessing a hundred percent correct at times They struggle with Darvish a lot more unpredictable than than a lot of than the other two guys. So I Just think that this is I like Darv in this game five matchup. I really do absolutely and you know again, it's gonna be all hands on deck, but I think Darvish is gonna be outstanding and You know the Dodgers also take a lot of pitches Tony And I think for a guy like Dylan sees even Michael King They need some chase from the opposition Dodgers just don't chase and you've got to be in the strike zone Pretty sure Darvish will be in the strike zone And yeah, I don't think the Dodgers will be able to wait him out the same way they did the other two guys That was part of the game plenty Oscar and and has said that also before the the game in that pressure He said obviously him on three days rest. We want to get his pitch count up as much as we possibly can now Yeah, it's not as though. They were up there taking pitches I mean they were they were taking some wax and but they weren't chasing outside the zone very much And so that already on short days where you can see how that can bend up a little bit problematic And you know, I think for from Dylan's standpoint He just he didn't have his fastball command and I think for those of watch those of us who watch them all year When he doesn't have the command is when he can Have an outing where you know, it looks uneven not as not as crisp as we've seen him And that was I think the case last night and the potters did not take our suggestion in place a pro far and Merrill in the second row behind the stands for the top of the first inning Because I mean what works. I know it wouldn't work So lookie best can hit a home run in the first inning of every game. It's gonna be pretty annoying I have a few people in my DMS that know that I think this way sometimes, but I Feel like maybe mookie was embarrassed by jerks in on whatever night that was where jerks and robbed it from the crowd And brought it back and mookie was trying to do his home run shot And so then he was like I'm just gonna hit home runs in the first inning of the rest of these games so that I don't feel embarrassed anymore because jerks and Did kind of throw everyone for a loop not gonna say I hated it, but mookie best first of all we all loved it It was great. It was great theater. It was but I think mookie was more embarrassed by the 0 4 22 Yeah, I'm sure that was prior to that home or so I'm pretty sure that was it and I also said before game three that I don't think that's the mookie bets because he's sure good He's just too good. He's not gonna continue that and he hasn't so It look this is great I think these are the I you know I don't think it's out of the out of the realm to say before we get to a quick break and Mike shilt on the other side That these might not be the best two teams left in the entire playoffs. I know the Yankees would argue that The Mets are on a roll, but I think these are the two best teams. It doesn't mean whoever wins tomorrow automatically You know wins at all, but it's just a great showdown and I love being part of it and You know, it's gonna be nerve-wracking. It's gonna be tight You're gonna have to use every trick in the book as a fan to get through it And you know if you got a lucky sofa you sit on you're gonna do it you wear lucky socks You're gonna wear them, but this is what sports is about if you ask me Whatever lucky piece of clothing if you believe right all needs to be on tomorrow. I didn't wear My padre shoes yesterday because I didn't go to the game. Well, you need to have them on tomorrow, buddy I will sit in front of the TV. No, I won't have them on. I'm like that I am like you know all the folks who believe in superstitions is just fall just embrace all of it tomorrow tomorrow night Is the night Mike shilt is next. I'll go ahead. I'm sorry. Tell me let's get to break as my steam partner Just said Mike shilt is next we're going in Chris I'm gonna be joined shortly by Padre's skipper Mike shilt off day and then tomorrow It's all on the line game five the national league division series Padres and Dodgers. We're assuming you Darvish will pitch for the Padres Tony's assuming Yamamoto will pitch for the Dodgers makes sense. He pitched in game one, but will Dave Roberts Go bullpen day again, who knows we'll all find out tomorrow the game will be shortly after five o'clock here 97 3 the fan tonight. It's the American League division series Detroit looking to close out Cleveland at home and The Yankees will be looking to close out Kansas City on the road. All right manager Mike shilt joins us Appreciate the time Mike the manager's report with Mike shilt is brought to you by a San Diego County credit union It's not big bank banking It's better and Mike as soon as the game was over last night. Yeah, you said, you know This is what it's about can't wait for game five. Let's go And your team has been great at putting you know losses behind them this year. How do you go about doing it this time? Same way, you know, feel good. We're just gonna go play. I mean there's no I mean, I can appreciate the question, but you know done it all year. We're not gonna stop now Mike obviously, you know in the pressure yesterday you seemed you said that you were pretty comfortable If things got to this point having a guy like you Darvish for game five What is it? What is the advantage to having a guy like you Darvish for a moment like this? Yeah, I'm really comfortable in a lot of levels I mean clearly it's gonna be a challenge. I mean, yeah, you got a good club, but you know starting with Darvish You just you just I'm confident. He's not gonna make the situation bigger than it is He's gonna go he's gonna pitch. We've got a lot of pitches clearly It's been in big moments before So and you know elimination games, you know, you want a bunch of guys that are just gonna go and Not make the experience anything bigger than it is just go play baseball So that's what this thing's gonna come down to is it just always will whether it's, you know, April, May Game 5 game 16 7 You know any kind of game that you know allows you to move on or or win the whole thing You know, it's always about just going out me and being able to go play baseball and execute and do what the game calls for society would say and I'm comfortable and confident in you that you can give us the best chance to do that Mike shelters with us Dodgers Padres can't wait tomorrow night Mike, what are you happiest about with your ball club through the first four games of this series and what are you may Maybe at least happy about if there's anything through the first four games I mean listen, you know, I'm pleased about a lot of things then they Sort of kind of a classic series already for a lot of the good reasons and a lot of you know really you know dramatic reasons that are unnecessary quite candidly, but I Just continue to be impressed proud of How are guys compete and how are guys carried themselves? It's a really really Special group that has a lot of special people that Takes a lot of shots, which you're gonna take shot to this level Founded unfounded and but they're just showing up and getting after it You know, I mean, I'm not sure how to answer the other question You know, I'm As far as displeasing me. Yeah, we'd like to already want it and be moving on But I think sometimes we forget, you know the other such trying to yeah And it's just interesting to me. Oh, we're not doing this. Oh, he's not doing that. Oh, I Wish we could play perfect And I wish every every decision worked out You know a hundred percent That'd be awesome. The good news is a high high percentage of what we've done our guys have done It's been pretty darn good and it's just you know, it's this hard game and We play it very well and we we go about it exceptionally well, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow night Mike she'll join us here manager of the San Diego Padres and Mike You guys had the second best road record in all of baseball this season and my question is what goes into? You know having so much success on the road and certainly in a moment like this You're on a road hostile environment How does that come into a play for a game like this? I think we I don't think I know we'll draw from the experience of that. That's important It is a big part of the success of this club That's been built Around just taking taking advantage of every opportunity you get Regardless of circumstance, I know that sounds cliche But that is something that's way harder to actually do and Tony, you know this He's your easier said than done in this group They bring it and it doesn't matter home road hostile environment cold hot day game night game tough loss big win and show up the next day and and get after it and And then do it, you know be prepared and look to execute and play the game the right way and do it together And when you do that really the environment or the situation Become secondary. It's just about taking care of business Mike is there a thought to you know, maybe tweak anything for game three You know, whether it's a lineup or anything Or are you gonna be are you of the type that is more likely to stick with what's got us here? I'll let you answer that question I think you're gonna tweak everything and I think you're gonna put the names in a hat and pick a lineup out. There you go You nailed it Just now finishing up You know, I've got I've got I bring him brownest as you know in here to bring the hat and we'll just start growing them There you go. I thought I said fully. Yeah, I mean look we got here, man I don't I don't know what this what you know, you know, yeah, we ride with who got us here And I don't know what what the suggestion would be You know, we scored ten runs we scored six runs We get shut out, but pretty really darn good bullpen and made a lot of pitches that make a lot of mistakes You know, I don't I don't see anything dramatically changing Mike you you've managed for for quite a long time you've been in this game for quite a long time I'm not sure how many of these elimination games. You've been involved. I know you've been in at least one it came against The team you're managing now how is there is there any difference in managing in a in an elimination game? Versus a game one two or three like it can is there a is there obviously a X and O's difference and is there do you feel a difference when you're when you're down in that dugout? You know, there's the one elimination games definitely are different. I've been in a fair amount of them You know had the good force to be it on Three championship clubs in the model leagues that I managed and being a part organization at one and being a part of you know seeing what that looked like from a staff perspective and and being you know in my organization, so You know good experience and doing it talking people that have done it one of them that you know one three World Series and Was just in San Diego, Johnny Larissa, you know text with him last night at the game just going back and forth about stuff Answer question. Yes different It's clearly different than trying to win the last game of a series or the last game before a day off But the reason I bring those things up is because there's you know when you have freedom, you know to Handle your bullpen then that that allows you to do more things that the thing about the elimination game that you know is Is wonderful is You know you want to go score early can you want to try to get that lead you want to put pressure on them? and Then you know you want to make sure you you continue to see what it looks like and and trust your your your You know starter and harvest tomorrow and was to evaluate what it looks like and we'll let the game dictate You know the moves like we've done all year and me and you talked about this Sonya You know managed fairly aggressively to you know especially when we have these type of opportunities to look to win games and And we've been able to do that and you know nothing's gonna ultimately change We just know this is a game that we you know have to win and we're Much like every game we played this year We'll take it as it comes and get it and go get after it and know that you know We win we move on and so we'll we'll get after it the best we can and trust our guys to compete and next week Mike we wish you the best of luck I don't want to keep mr. Espazito waiting any longer with the hat to pick out the lineup, so Please best of luck. I mean, you know, I'm wishing you that from all of San Diego And we'll see you back here on Sunday. Hopefully for game one of the NLCS. Thank you Mike. Yeah, no, we'll be there We're excited looking forward to it. Thank you, sir The manager's report with Mike shilt brought to you by San Diego County Credit Union It's not big bank banking. It's better and there he goes the skip of the Padres Yeah, I didn't think he was gonna give me any changes in the lineup But I was maybe hoping you slip somewhere and yeah, and I knew he wasn't but I had to try it, you know Yeah, he's not changing the line. That is basically what it's just out of the way. It's the sign up will be the same He didn't announce a starting pitcher At least yet, but I mean, he kind of conceded that he was comfortable Doing media today, so I'm sure he's gonna start. Yeah, so so Darva is the guy the one thing I was gonna ask him Does the calculus change and you know, obviously the first couple games. It was pretty obvious mookey bets Was it mookey bets yet? Does the calculus change and how you're pitching Otoni with a hot bets behind him? Although I will say they've held Otoni down pretty well. I mean, they've made him look human at this point He's not hitting over 300 which is you know for him. It seems like craziness, but They've done a good job against Otoni. I'm against Otoni than anybody else this year But you know now with mookey swinging the bat. Well does I was wondering does that change the calculus and how you pitch him? Probably not they're having success against Otoni You want to he's been relatively quiet outside of game one So, you know, just keep doing what you're doing, but you know, there's nothing surprising there for Mike I think we kind of figured they had moved on beyond yesterday. That's that's tip That's probably why they're so good at playing so well after a clunker, right because they literally forget about it Immediately when the game is is over with they try to learn from it But they're on to the next and they'll need to do that here against his dr. Ball Club Yeah, no question and you asked Otoni about Otoni to mention that you know He's three for three in this series when he comes up with two runners on base And so I think they the big thing you know and everybody said this has been to keep these guys off base before him And you know that has worked for them and let's hope it keeps working. I think that's the I think those are the only hits He has in this series outside of the one he got last night with or was that what you guys on that was with two guys on Yeah, one with two guys on and game three also the loaded the bases, and then he had his three run homer What I just had to make sure that he knew that show. Hey was gonna be batting later later on People told me it was really funny Stravia forgot I say, you know, I really meant to tell you this but he is currently 26 hours and 12 minutes away from batting Yeah, officially, you know, this has become and I really do feel you're so tired of that aren't you? I really do feel that Fox heard the complaints because they toned it back Joe Davis and and John Smoltz last night were the most down the middle. They have been this entire series down the middle They you see Joe Davis is like sole leave his body when you had to interview Fernando on the field the other night He was like, you know doing the smile thing like yes I'm so happy that you did well, he can think he can thank Ken Rosenthal for that That's also true and apparently Ken Rosenthal was not allowed back in the good graces of the Padres last night because we didn't see him anywhere again He had say stuff about people he was definitely there But he was not going to do the interview should the Padres have won that game yesterday. I know that how do you like that? How do you like that information? There's a little insight for you. Yeah Well, I wouldn't let him do the interviews tomorrow night either. I'm sorry Don't be surprised if he's not I'm just saying like it at this point. I think You know when you call a man of peacock and you call the other one You know for pulling fire alarms and then saying what's it what what went wrong? There's gonna be some pushback and he's getting a ton of it right now You know jerks and pro far is your best friend until you're his enemy and then you're really For real you're dead to him after that. I saw him I saw him in the clubhouse after they were celebrating After the Braves and some he was on FaceTime and someone I don't know who it was poured beer in his head And he was so angry that he got beer poured on his head And he was just like I saw that side of jerks. I'm like that's the side of jerks that I love right there Yeah, man, you know, yes, we didn't even talk about the the article did we I don't think we had a chance But what do you think I mean? It was it was uncalled for this what I think and the kennel isn't though. Yes. Oh, we talked about it Uh, when we were which I think you guys went no, we talked with you on Wednesday about it I'm pretty sure because I remember reading it to you when we were sitting at Bob. Yes. Oh, that's right Here's the part of the conversation you didn't talk about because I said that I think that Fox may have It should have taken him off the broadcast just because he was not being but he was not being unbiased with his article What was that too dramatic of a thought? I think a little little dramatic. I think I mean they can't he can't interview Padres players Is not me that that would be the problem not because he was unbiased I mean once the the Padres make the decision that we ain't talking to my man You know, then this the the station has a choice to make They had they had a backup Should the Padres have one yesterday that was gonna conduct the interview and it wasn't his name was not Ken Rosenthal So they better get some more backups for the next I imagine there's gonna be another one here today And that's which is also why Joe Dave has probably had that Crazy smile on his face because he was like no, I don't usually do these interviews after the game I know that this is quite awkward because my teammate is the reason why I'm doing this interview right now So did you guys see the George Brett interview yesterday during the Yankees and the the royals he sloshed? No No, but they did it for like a whole inning and it was like, okay We're you know, we're done with this whole thing. We're done with the George Brett interview You know how sometimes those innings go on forever and you run out of things to talk about with someone Yes, that's the that's the tough part about do knows you get a long inning. Guess what? You can't just get off you go ahead and stay on there. So that's true coming back Alright, welcome back our number two of Gwen and Chris 301 is the time Chris Hello Tony Gwen Jr. is at Dodger Stadium and he's down getting some some stuff some interviews and Whatnot as he prepares for the call tomorrow with Jesse Agler Of a game five the national league division series gets underway shortly after five o'clock tomorrow afternoon Tony will be back with us a little bit later in our Show today. We're on till 430 and we have to make way for scrapies 49ers against the Seattle Seahawks and Thursday night football um Couple of things Sam Levitt tweeted this after Ben and woods brought it up on the morning show Should the Padres consider batting Fernando lead off I could have asked Mike shilt that question directly But I tried to go around being direct with him because I knew he wouldn't give me an answer and asked him if he was considering any changes And he basically said no So I don't think it's really much of a conversation. I don't think they're going to move Fernando up in the lineup uh, luisa rise has struggled But he also has hit about 150 points higher on the road this year than he said at home So, you know, I feel confident that a rise will be on base And give Fernando a chance to do some damage Uh, you know as far as pro far as concern. I'm really hoping That that line drive base said he got in the bottom of the ninth inning last night Which didn't mean a thing to the game. No, but it was the first time in like a month that he didn't just pop up I mean jerks and has been really a struggling with that, you know, it's popping everything up And you know, we need some some production from that number three spot from him tomorrow night Yeah, and uh, manny. I don't worry about I think I know he hasn't been the great manny in this series, but And this is the moments that he lives for so i'm expecting manny. I'm not concerned about marrow I think bo guards probably is going to be the one guy if the dodgers do a lot of bullpen, which I think they'll do Um, I think he's going to get to see a lot of left-handed pitching and I think that bodes well for bo guards because Meryl bats left-handed ahead of him And croninworth or peralta bats left-handed behind him, which means the dodgers will bring lefty relievers in for that group of hitters So I think bo guards has a chance to do some damage tomorrow night Now croninworth is starting to hit a little bit. He's starting to come out of it. He tripled off the fence last night I'm thinking maybe Um, the one thing I was you know, when I was asking Mike shilter. He was thinking about a change or two That came to my mind earlier today is maybe putting donovan salano in the eight spot and breaking up the Three left-handed hitters out of four But peralta's hitting well So do you take peralta out and give donovan salano another shot? It's something mike shilts got to think about hagashyoka's gonna bat ninth And he should so that's where you're at, you know, and as we talked about I think any of these guys can be the be the hero tomorrow night and that's why You know, I feel very good about the potteries chances. They don't have to just count on one guy or two guys I think the dodgers a little bit more than the potteries You know, I have to hope otani bets come through Um, I don't know if Freeman will be back for the game, but if he is he's gonna be less in full strength And I honestly think as I know taster hantern is at grand slam He had a grand slam because michael king laid it in there on a silver platter I think the rest of the dodgers beyond bets and otani Are most likely to hurt you because of a mistake that you make as a pitcher Whereas otani and bets are good enough to beat you no matter what happens And that's why those two guys are you know, who they are? I just was I mean, I figured that mookie was going to wake up at some point and it just thinks it has to happen He has for sure. He but he's awoken. He's so good. I mean the guys, you know, an mvp for a reason Uh, all right, uh, we'll talk plenty more about padre's dodgers game five The tigers and the guardians are getting just underway With game number four of that series. So we'll keep you up to date yankies and royals play at five o'clock this evening Let's take a look at some winners and losers for the first time in a while. Oh, daily gambit Let's do a little daily gambit. Do you like money? I think about money Do you like money without doing anything? Da winning do you want to make money while watching sports? I think washington is immortal luck Washington if you answer yes, this is your segment just don't blame us when you lose Nothing is ever your fault It's okay take it Gwen and criss go through the top bets of the day in the daily gambit on 97 three the fan Daily gambit is our daily sports betting segment here on gwen and criss. Please everybody gamble Responsibly, I did a parlay the other night criss Remember we were talking about how it was walker bueller under two and a half strikeouts and how that was going to be the hard leg Did he have zero? He had zero strikeouts. He did other nights. So that worked But the rest of the parlay was uh, michael king didn't get enough strikeouts. He had five and he needed Uh, I think it was six you and your parlays. I was close. I'm getting closer. It doesn't matter though. I still lose my money Still lose your money. So all right. What do we got tonight? We got thursday night football And uh, it is your nineers. Uh, I think you've mentioned this today. It said to me So I don't need to you know Say it back to you, but this is a big game for the nineers. They're two and three Seahawks are three and two So the 49ers don't want to fall two games behind in the west 49 points over under what kind of game you looking at tonight's gravy over or under 49 Um first off. I'm getting a question. I don't know if you already said this but tony stepped outside to go downstairs and I hear tony. Okay, I did make it sure. I just make sure tony will be back. Um 49 points total in this game. Now this to me is a must-win game for the 49ers That's what I just said, but you weren't listening. I know I'm trying to get dave connected on the board lots going on Um, but I won't repeat you anymore because i'm going to say that the 49ers win this game 31 to 24 Over. Yes, that's 55 points. Yes, it's a lot of points Yes, but the 49er score a lot of points. They just can't play defense Wow It's happened to the 49ers. I'll say under tonight. All right I think 31 24 is too high of a score who has more passing yards tonight? Brock perdy or gino smith I will say Brock perdy does How about you i going with your guy I know he's up there, but I also know that gino smith might even be leading the nfl in passing yards And he is leading the nfl in passing yards. Brock porty Brock perdy is fourth Who fongas out? I'm going to say gino smith has more passing yards gino smith DK met calf over under 42 and a 64 and a half Receiving yards 64 and a half Met calf you go first prime time met calf always goes over He'll catch like an 80 yard touchdown early in the game DK over 64 and a half Uh, I will say over two because he has been pretty good this year. He has been Uh college football james mattison eight point favorite over coastal carolina dear research James mattison. I believe is undefeated They they usually are and thank They're pretty good. I think that was the big thing a couple of years ago. They were undefeated and they couldn't get into the championship Okay, so if you google james mattison, it just brings up a page of the former president So you were trying to find you were trying to do your research. Yes, but wrong guy James mattison actually lost their first conference game. So they're now four and one. What was there? Yeah, they must have lost the last game And they've all been pretty close games. They did they lost to you elman roe Oh, the old Louisiana man roe beat him 21 to 19, but earlier this season james mattison beat north carolina 70 to 50 Mm. That must have been some game 120 points. No kidding Uh, I am gonna go james mattison after all this talk about james mattison. We both got to go with james mattison minus the eight Uh wmba final start tonight. Scrappy. You know, I gotta say look forward to that at all or you know all the players out there The wmba players hated katelyn clark for being a part of the wmba But I haven't watched since katelyn clark left the wmba. So it's not a bad point. Yeah, the indiana got eliminated now against the links New york liberty are favored by six points in game one tonight at home The liberty who have been in the wmba since its inception Have never won the wmba title Never really minnesota's won a bunch of them But not for a few years So the liberty you're kind of like the dodgers of the wmba like they have to win one good shot press So yeah, right And having said that since I think they're like the dodgers i'll take minnesota because i and plus the six points How about you? um I always get these wrong. You do you've had a bad run on these i'm gonna go liberty the liberty nyl minus six Who scores more points the liberty super star briana stewart or the link superstar nafeeshik call your Scrabby color has i think she led the league this year in scoring briana was right up there though It's a good sign and know both of them you've heard of both of them. Yeah, it's good I'm gonna buy stewart briana for the liberty. You know the briana stewart when she was at canada kit not only won the Championship all four years she was there she was the player of the year in the college basketball all four years Whoa, how good was that? That's pretty good Having said that i'll pick against her tonight Because i'm gonna go with call your because briana stewart has more help than call your does call yours going to use score Onto baseball yankies in kansas city game four tonight eight runs over under Last night yankies won three to two in a squeaker and a squeaker john carlo stanton Yeah john carlo had a big game hit the big home run and no doubt her still flying out there Uh, they haven't been scoring a lot in this series. Where's one soda bin? I mean, I haven't heard much. I haven't heard much from erin judge in this series yet No, but i feel like they're gonna start playing this is a game for though Pitching is not as good in a game for usually i'll say over eight runs. I was feeling over as well All right, and then here's one for you The NHL season is underway We've had two nights of NHL action so far. Hey, I know you love this the utah The utah hockey club, I hate that name though. You do hate that. I hate it They won their opener though The other night beat chicago five to two Tonight the hockey club takes its show on the road to long island long island long island Uh, the islanders are favored by one and a half goals over the utah hockey club Uh, i'll take the islanders. They're good utah hockey club Not gonna pull it off. They were too excited the other night. Who you like? Yeah, I can't choose the hockey club You don't like that name. Well, the yeti was the favorite to win and then they went with something But they made they said they were going with this for one year while they kind of figure it out There's nothing to figure out just take it. It's the yeti The salt lake yeti or the utah yeti utah yeti. Oh, I like it. Mmm. I like it I don't know. I think they would have been better if they were the uh football team Like why did you like wft? But you don't like UHC because you like the washington football team, right? Yeah, because it was kind of like new for american sports. Oh, so now that it's over now that it's not new It's no good anymore Well, it tells me that the marketing team doesn't have anybody who has any good ideas because if you go Utah hockey club like it's not hard to figure that one out Scrabie, I know not a happy guy. No, not about this um LA kings opened their season tonight in buffalo good luck to the kings And uh, it doesn't look like the uh, the ducks are playing yet. They're not they have a not relegated They did not have a good season last year the ducks. Let me see if they did they play last night Uh, they did not so the ducks have to wait a while for their opener. They're not playing Yet, why I don't know it's only day three. Maybe they're opening tomorrow night Maybe although that seems weird right the whole season's three days old and you haven't played one game yet Yeah, that is weird. That'd be kind of weird, but that's I guess the padre has played two games And then waited a week before the other game started. That's weird too All right, uh, we'll take a quick time out morgue when and chris coming up after we check traffic Lots to get done. We will have a big five. We will have a christopher's the fans Tony will rejoin for nfl pick segments. So stick around a lot more to go Hi, welcome back to morning chris 320 is the time tony re joins us From dodger stadium quick update in the american league divisional series the guardians have snapped Their drought Lane thomas with the two out rbi single in the top of the first And cleveland jumps out to a one-nothing lead Tigers coming to bat Right now in the bottom of the first inning Tony is there in l.a. Tony. I don't know if you're aware of this, but this morning Our esteemed colleague matt screby Made his local television debut And we're gonna find out in the world. Yeah, it's moving up in the world Let's uh, let's hear a little bit about what happened first. Great. We set this up. Give me a second But you need to fix your camera first. Okay. Well done. Um, so yeah, I got it text message last night Saying asking if I wanted to come into fox five And uh, do you know a segment on the pod race and I thought My first thought really was Oh, god. No, I don't want to go on tv. No, no, no, no. I do not want to do the tv thing But I thought better and I decided I was going to do the tv thing. So Here is uh, just a little bit of what happened before we before we hear this I want to I want to tell everybody that I saw a photo of screby before he went on the air Uh, he was adorned in his padre city connect jersey. Yeah for this television appearance Which I think should tell everybody that he does not have a wife at home There is no way My wife would let me go on television with a city connect uniform on i'm just telling you that that would not happen I can tell you one thing be like you are going to have at least a button down collard shirt Okay, here's what I here's the thing I texted the person who got me on and I said what should I wear? I'm a radio guy and she wrote Do you have any padre's? Radio guy And I said I have a city connect jersey and she said that would be perfect So I brought the city connectors because I don't have like a normal padre's jersey No, because you don't have anything that has a collar on that's Chris, I wear collard shirts all the time All the time But anyway Here's just a little bit of it if you want to watch the full thing you can at matt screby But if you're on the uh chat right now, you're going to be able to see the video as well So here's just a little bit of it and you can tell how nervous I am when he brings me on the show Joining us not at recap last night's game it take a look forward The brown and the blue showdown is 97 3 of the fans matt screby in the house Matt good morning. Thank you so much for having me I've been talking your ear off already about how that looks funny. I am and just like I feel this I don't know what it is. What what am I feeling this morning? Can you explain? You're feeling a little bit of confusion because everybody thought that after game three It was going to be an easy win for the padre's in game four. You have dillazis We were just talking about this. You have dillazis starting for the padre's You have a bullpen game for the dodgers. They're at home. The crowd's crazy Well, the dodgers ended up taking the padre's crowd out of it right from the beginning mookie bets It's that home run and no one was had anything to cheer about the rest of the time It goes on for another five minutes, but that was just a little taste of it The look on your face when your name was introduced was priceless. I must say Yeah, could you just pause it on the initial look the initial Solo shot. Yes. Yes, let me get to that because pull that up right there No, not that he kind of glances to the there The glance to the side was what I liked That is the equivalent of an out filter That's our guy that is the equivalent of an out filter taking a step in on a ball that he should be taking his step back And it's the the word the thought bubble on the right side of scrayby's face says oh bleep You know what I actually saw out of the corner of my eye is my life No, I saw myself and I was like, that's what I look like. No That can be disconcerting for sure. Wait, but the best part about this is underneath the jersey He has his standard uniform on yes, which is a black shirt and jeans No, I had my nice lululemon pants on And my pottery shoes, but I didn't know that I'd be sitting down the entire time Uh, thank you to fox five. Thank you to raul and thank you to jill for It's maybe getting on tv. I'm excited for it. I gotta say It was uh I've done this job for seven years and I have never been as nervous as I was I'm gonna tell you from now on when anybody asked me. I'm just gonna Refer is gonna refer him right over to you. Yeah Just gonna be like, oh, we got a tv star over here And I'm not yeah, I don't love going on those things. I mean, it's kind of you know, it's fun to a certain extent, but There we go. You never know what you're gonna say. There we go. You get worried. It was there was it was good. It was good I honestly thought they were texting me to um Ask one of you guys to come on the show Because it doesn't usually happen that way, but I'm very appreciative of it They have they have my number. It's just you know, sometimes Especially during the season. I I just sometimes I can't get to answering And they want you to come in hella early too. I just pretty early. Yeah, I can't they're in a season It's just too hard to get up that way. I gotta say when they texted me saying you need to be there at eight I was like, oh man. I haven't been out of the house at seven o'clock because I live in north county I was not going to be late So I sat in the parking lot for like 25 minutes Anyway, Scrabby described described to me or to everybody else what you described to me What the studio looked like when you were in there because he was stunned by this tone There is nobody in there except for me and raul. Yeah. Oh, he's expecting a whole bunch of people And it's ice cold in that bad boy. I'm good with that But it was so strange because all the cameras are like on robot arms and You know all the propters are right there But it was a good experience because I've never actually been in a tv Studio like that before and it was really fun. So well, we're very proud of you Thank you as we should be. Thank you very much. All right. So, uh, let's see. Where do we go from here? Yeah, there's really nowhere to go from there I know we have a big five I should say this that uh just something to circle on your just a pencil in on your calendar When the Padres win tomorrow night when they do Uh, Scrabby and I are going to do a show Saturday special show Yes, Saturday. Yes, uh in between the Padres winning and Not only us. Yeah, I know. Oh, but I'm promoting us first. Oh, that's probably because I'm looking out for us. Okay. Ah We will be on Most likely considering they're going to win Saturday from one to three And Ben and woods will be on from 11 a.m. to one. Yes, that's where woods these tweet came from today. He had a picture of Adam and it said this looks like a man that's going to ask me to do an extra show That's exactly what he asked them. You know, it's hilarious. Yeah, let's be honest Scrabby and I did not waltz into Adam's office and volunteer that show No, but I'm happy we were asked if the Padres win I am happy to do it But that's funny because we all have that look like if Adam's walking down the hall. I hope he's not listening right now And I go guys he's gonna ask us to do something and he walks in and he'll be like Hello gentlemen and then he'll like ease into it You guys are pretty intimidating though, I gotta say Because he walks in there and he's like being nice and you guys just don't give him any reaction whatsoever. So That's because we know what's about. We gotta make him more We're trying not to make eye contact at that point because you know if you make eye contact is over then you're locked in Gotta make him work gotta make him work a little bit. Sorry one to three for us 11 to one for Ben and woods That's uh, saturday. The Padres win when the pod wait. Is that gonna be it's gonna be in studio? Yeah, yeah, well, we're not they're not flying us to New York or anywhere. I don't know if you guys like doing it at a illsmith or someplace I mean, I like doing it, but no, it's gonna be in studio. We'll be in studio. Uh, Ben and wood so 11 to one us One to three. Did you come in to join us? Is that why you were wanting to know where it was? Wait, babe. This thing is it's not working right now. I don't know what's going on. Oh, is it really? I'm just joking. David's working. Oh my gosh. You have no idea what you just did today I know I didn't think about it. So after I the words came out Typical difficulties and you just threw him wait wait wait wait when I first joined when I first got up here I got here like about seven minutes before the show start I hit my my pod and it's like got this crazy noise and there's great be kind of gets on there And he hears it too and so I didn't want to call Dave because He he has to be here. He's staying here right now to be nice at this point. Do you feel yeah in the bathroom? And so I didn't want to bother him, but I knew we couldn't do so with that sound that was going going crazy And so I go back there and I'm playing with it and he like walked over my shoulder I look at him and he is sweating. Oh no profusely. So at that point, I knew okay. He's he's there's something going on here He hasn't he hasn't quite he's working on something here. Yeah, so Eventually we got it right and so why don't I just turn to play, you know play the joke that I couldn't hear you guys I didn't quite add all that in there and I didn't realize I probably sent him down a down a rabbit hole there for a second Is he excited that all the equipment is now plugged in for tomorrow night's game though? You can ask him. He's got a microphone right when I have 23 hours ahead and ready to roll or 27 hours ahead I had never met a a happier guy after the Mets won that game last night Because all he could think about was possibly having to fly to Philadelphia And now, you know, no matter what he's going to be in San Diego one way or the other tomorrow after the end of tomorrow I should say that's a good point. That's a good point because he could you guys could have been on the road for a So we packed our bags yesterday had to pack for five days worst case scenario that we lost yesterday We'd win the day and then we Philly wins their game yesterday wins their game tomorrow And then fly to philadelphia from here. So did you guys leave petco right after the game last night didn't go home Yes, really. Oh, what time did you get up to your hotel then? That was late. It's pretty late. I don't know exactly what the time was but that was a quick departure from san diego All right game five is tomorrow night Uh, we know this uh cleveland one detroit nothing into the first inning there And uh big five coming up here on gwen and chris Three 37 on the clock tony gwen jr chris elomatt scrabie Got a big five head at your weight currently guardians up one nothing in the top of the second They got to run in the first Uh to take to break their uh scoreless streak there Potches will need to do the same thing. Hopefully it can be done in the first inning of tomorrow night's game uh big five mr. Scrabie has uh There's been there's been some news in the media in the sports media world here. You hope this big five is uh legit today It's all right. Oh That's hesitation. Well, that'll keep everybody tuned in You know, you can lie Sometimes scrape and then you know keep everybody dialed in as opposed to just telling the truth all the time Oh, this is gonna be one of the best big fives you ever done. That's what i wanted to hear Too late now. All right. Well, let's get to this uh great big five It's that time of the show when we check on the latest in sports Only the most important topics and questions are brought to light Stop what you're doing and listen these news stories will astound and amaze you the one The only Oh my god.

No hair I was listening to Ben & Woods this morning and they were saying that there's a lot of uh, like kind of not no name pictures but I've never heard of this guy before the tigers have one picture. They have scuba the rest of these guys are just Throwing them out there and And it's been working so far. It has been working here. I'll see if it can hold up And ever since Tony told us to take a look at this guy's face. They haven't shown They won't show everybody else except him every single person. All right, we'll we'll look for the face Everybody look for the face if you're watching the game on tbs Uh, but here we go number five Now big five is brought to you by summit Subaru of elkahone See all the two ways to save right now at summit Subaru dot com the padre's are facing An elimination game tomorrow night and I think all of us are cautiously optimistic about the team My question is chris do you think or it's thursday tony goes first Do you think players feel more pressure in an elimination game today treat it like any other game tony? I would imagine the the game within the game is figuring out how to Keep it as normal as possible because obviously if you start as we heard mike shows that if you start putting too much on it You can start to feel that pressure. So I think the mental game is okay. How do I How do I keep this as just a regular game because that's when i'm in my best comfort zone? Uh, but I would if I would say that there probably are a couple guys down there That enjoy the fact that this is a big time game want to be Probably more than a couple guys on this team that one that in that are embracing the fact that it's a game five And whatever comes with that they are wrapping their arms around it Uh, chris what do you think do you think if they treat it like any other game or do they get a little amped up for it? Oh, I don't think they can treat it like any other game, but I think some guys uh, you know as tony said I think some guys thrive under this situation and some guys I have a feeling probably do get a little nervous about a winner take all so And we weren't going to know which guys are which right? Yeah, but it's easy to make it right and whoever it gets right Whoever hits a home run. We will all say oh they thrive in this situation But it might be some really nervous guys that just happens to hit a home run You know, I don't know, but yeah, I think it just depends on the individual I always think when you say nervous guy for some reason the guy in water boy who's Fielding the onside kick who's like scared out of his mind pops in my head Someone goes up the bat and they're just like shaking like it would be great. There's a drive For deep left field uh erin rogers everyone has spoken to the media He spoke to pat mackephie yesterday. Here is what he said when they asked him whether or not he was involved in the robert solid firing as far as any of the ridiculous allegations out there i'm not going to spend more than uh one sentence uh in response to it and that is that I resent any of those accusations because they're patently false and and uh It's interesting the amount of power that people think that I have Uh, which I don't but um, I love robert and uh, it was um, you know, one of those days. I should So there you go. That was erin rogers on the pat mackephie show now Um, nathaniel hackett kris you'll be happy to hear he has been demoted out of the beam i have to hear that You wanted him gone. Yeah. No, I want him to stay so that the jets continue to suck true With your dolphins being in the same division. I don't want nathaniel hackett removed Uh, okay, so the new taught downing is going to be the new play caller. Anyway, I ask all that to ask this chris Do you think erin rogers had anything to do with robert solid firing? Well, he absolutely did Uh, whether he did it directly or not. I'm not sure But indirectly had a lot to do with this firing and it all started when he went on his vacation and left robert Salah hanging holding the bag and the rest of his teammates wondering, you know why he wasn't there For a mandatory training period. So, you know, I think erin rogers, uh, at least indirectly had a whole lot to do with this firing. Yes Tony, what do you think? Yeah, I mean, I don't think he had it directly but indirectly, you know, here's what I do know is that Coaches don't matter how good we think they are. They don't win games But they are held accountable for winning games, you know, I think what a coach doesn't NFL a good coach as he delegates and if You know the delegation Uh, isn't isn't helping you at all Uh, you end up being on the wrong end of these things and um, I I don't necessarily think these two didn't like each other Uh, this firing has actually led to You know what we all believe erin rogers favorite offensive coordinator to no longer be the offensive coordinator The first move that the defensive coordinator made was to remove mr nathaniel, yeah, good point out of that spot. So You know, I I think inevitably when you have when you're a quarterback of erin rogers, you know stature um, you don't you don't have to have a verbal confrontation, you don't even have to necessarily dislike a guy but if You are as good as erin rogers has been and the offense doesn't seem to be reflecting of that Someone's going to pay the price And remember whether it was fair or unfair erin rogers got hurt first game of of the season last year And that season with all the hype that was behind it just plummeted So That is also tagged to rober solverter. It's fair or unfair That's a part of this decision and so We'll see what happens with the jets moving forward, but yeah, I think indirectly you probably had something to do with it That's a very strange situation, but can you imagine the dynamic of that building like a guy that was your equal defensive coordinator? Now being your boss and saying hey, by the way, well, i'm gonna move you in here A lower role. I've been I mean, that's probably the the nice way it happened is the mean way is like man. I've been waiting to do this My defense has been holding us down. You've been killing me for two years Your water boy now, i'm the coach This guy come on Nathaniel hack it he how to almost see it coming didn't he come on? I think the other thing is The one thing I don't think anybody can argue is that it didn't seem like rober sola had control Of the what that whole thing going on there. You know i'm saying. I mean whether it was him and erin Um or not it just didn't seem like there was any control He said he was pretty blindsided he said he walked into his office that morning and Got fired and had to be escorted out of the building which i also think is kind of wrong at the same time I've been escorted out of a building before what kind of craziness were you taking part in? I was planning to run around like a lunatic and you know, not everybody's stuff off their desk before i left I wasn't planning to do anything. I don't know why i was escorted but i was Did that was that insult to injury? It wasn't fun. It wasn't a fun way to go out. You're like really i need a security guy to escort me out You know, this is how much you trust me Do you think they'll have a security guard escort me out because i'll escort you out. Oh, okay. All right, when you're walking with me No, i'm just kidding. I heard ben woods and paul talking about this this morning and they were talking about the two home runs The Mets have hit to send them to the next round First was p alonzo in the wild card series from the top of the ninth with two outs in the walkie or one Oh, i'm sorry in the walkie then yesterday's fransisco lindor grand slam so tony in your opinion, which is the more important home run pita longos or fransisco lindor's grand slam Oh, well, whoo Are you talking about in the wild card round for the wall card round and fransisco lindor yesterday? That's uh That's a that's a tough one. I mean Oh, wow I I guess I have to say fransisco lindor because that moved him to the cs, but pita lonzo's homer came off came in a spot against a dude That had given up one home or the entire year and he didn't just What was impressive about it was that it wasn't a terrible pitch and he Backed a change up up and hit it out the opposite field. I would say Peach was more impressive, but more impactful. I mean lindor He just became a new yorker for life with that the best wing. They're honestly like I think it's another good example And you see this with manny Like the the maturation of becoming a leader Remember the lindor thing when he first got there and bias showed up and they were given the crowd thumbs down when they were Boing them and how that completely backfired on them. They ended up having to apologize As a team that's where he started as a leader and you know, he had that homer there wasn't he wasn't like Pumped he wasn't like you know, you know raising his fist. It was a super professional old school like Gave my team the lead. I expected to do it same way in his interview Um, I I think he's just he became a new yorker for life after that So i'm gonna give him the nod on that chris which uh, impressive or impactful is a good word that tony Use the petal ons a wildcard home run or the fransisco lindor grand slam from yesterday Well, I don't think you picked a right lindor home run Because I think his grand slam was big but it was the seventh inning and they still had two more at bats They also had a two-to-one lead in the series so they could actually afford to lose the game That's true The most important home run lindor hit was the first game of the double header in the top of the ninth inning when they're losing to the braves And he got him into the playoffs. That's my feeling And so of the two you chose I would take a lonzo Because again, they were losing that game. It was elimination two outs left in their season two outs left in their season and he I'm gonna redo minds. I think that's the better answer there. Yeah, so i'm gonna go with the lonzo over lindor All right After 95 wins in the regular season the philadelphia fillies have been eliminated by grimace and those new york mess We just talked about the philis are hitting only or they only hit 186 in their three games Which is third worst the third worst batting average of any team in the playoffs? So chris, what do you call this? Do you call this the first round by curse? The philis are And you know what the pottery is win tomorrow night. We're gonna be ecstatic But baseball I don't know they're gonna be ecstatic And for this reason Because if the dodgers lose tomorrow night that would make Division champions 0 and 9 in the recent wildcard type era of playoffs um Remember the philis had a buy And they came up empty Similar to what the braves did last year when they had a buy and similar to what the dodgers have done So we're gonna hear about that I don't think it's anything other than that for the philis. It is too good of a ball club They got shut down for four games. It can happen um, you know, I know the philly fans don't want to hear that but Maybe it maybe there's something to this buy. I don't you know, I don't want to choose to believe it, but You know the statistics are starting to add up and I hope the pottery is add to it tomorrow night Tony is the philis exit a first round by curse I know By the way, I think the astral is one there two buys Right. They've been able to win in the american league but nobody in the national league is done Nobody in the national league has done it to this point Um Yeah, I mean listen, I think uh I think the philly's just got cold at the wrong time. That's really what it was. You just went through some of the offensive numbers there Um, I have no doubt that this there's gonna be some trades That uh from that team david and browski that window's still open for them But they're gonna have to to tweak something so Look for david and browski to make some moves this off season, but yeah, you know what? Listen again. I I know it that we are so short-sighted in terms of history This is only the third year of this Uh, there needs to be way more data collected Before people, you know start blaming the by the philly's quite frankly needed it The dodgers certainly needed it to have a by I mean Freddy freeman doesn't play at all in this series If there was no by for them he would have been out from from the moment to play off started so um You know as as bad as the records have been I just think it's kind of been just coincidence at this point It's only again third year of this format Number one We talked about but black being retained as the manager of the Rockies a couple days ago They signed him through 2025 and since we already talked about this yesterday My question is this chris or tony. I'm sorry Why wouldn't but black want to possibly go to a more competitive team? Mm, I don't know that first of all There's only 30 of these jobs out there. I mean you can't just throw one away and expect to get another one Just because you want a different because lots of experience though his resume is stacked He is I'm just I just you know, I I think For most managers they get into a situation. They want to see it through they want to they want to be the reason it turns but he's Ultra competitive like that. So I would expect that but you got to go where you want it Also, you know, I think the clearly the Rockies want to have them back they extended them And uh, I think that's good for good for buddy one of my favorites chris. I'm happy you're still working um and tony's right you can't just You know walk out on one and walk into another that's not gonna happen now You got to be offered the other before you turn down. Yeah, so I I think he's you know You know, he's buddy sentences that he has to live with dick monford And that's got to be tough. I I feel form every time I see him Because he's probably got to walk into the office and go hey, how are you? Richard great to see you sir You know while in the back of his mind thinking yeah, and you just don't have a Oh, man, that guy looks like an eye fluke. He's gonna ask me to do something All right, that's it for the big five when we get back chris versus the fans eight three three two eight eight oh nine seven three All right, welcome in uh back to uh gwen and chris happy a half hour here Before we get to uh, thursday night NFL football 49ers and seahawks Gwen and chris on sandy goes number one sports talk station 97 three of the fan update from detroit sacrifice fly trace swiney Guardians one tigers one cleveland batting in the top of the third inning yankies and royals play a little bit later Scrabby had a little uh business to take care before we get to today's Chris versus the fan yes, it's hour and 97 three the fan is brought to you by buffalo wild wings buffalo wild wings is football Hey san degas sports fans buffalo wild wings is kicking off football season with two limited time sauces Try their new buffalo bacon sauce for bold notes of smoky bacon or get the fan favorite hot barbecue before it's gone Stop by your san diego b-dubs or order now for takeout and delivery with buffalo buffalo wild wings go Now, uh, i'm not going to say what we played on the station It's not bad or anything, but the chat knows what i'm talking about and it was a mistake and so It's not going to happen again. I let the bosses know we're going to be okay. Everybody i'll tell you later chris what happened But yeah, I wasn't paying attention. Which is not really an upset I know all right, uh, let's move on then uh quickly here. Uh, here's something that we should mention. Oh wait. Hold on Sammy love just updated me with dave robert's pitching plan For tomorrow, uh, let me have it So he has doesn't have it finalized Okay, yo shinova yamamoto. He imagines will be a part of it Great I knew you would love that. I love when you tell me something and honestly don't tell me a thing It doesn't tell them. Yeah, that's why bro. You know who yamamoto could pitch the fourth inning for all I know I don't know what he dave robert's gonna do So there's no starter been announced by the dodgers yet. Not yet. That's great Um, one thing that's not great is what's going on down in florida this week. Oh, yeah, uh, hurricane milton has been uh ravaging the state of florida I know, uh, I had some friends who lived down in lakeland florida And 90 to 100 mile per hour winds. Whoa Uh, they left their home, uh staying in a hotel And that's got to be nerve-racking in and in siffs of itself To then go back to your home to see what it you know, it's there looks like You know, uh, and uh, I don't know if you've seen the pictures scrabby, but the roof of the tropicana dome where the rays play baseball Basically ripped off completely from this hurricane Have you seen the pictures? Yeah, yeah, it's not there Which by the way, they have a drone shot of it. How does it this is my where my weird brain goes But how does the drone stay in the air with all that wind like It wasn't even like moving like it was windy. Anyway, I did see the drone shot and it was uh scary I mean you can just look right through the roof and see the field because there is no roof any longer uh, the The rays yeah, uh and their organization and people from the trop which is the nickname of that dome Say it's going to be weeks and weeks before they can even assess the damage and figure out, you know, where to go I can't even imagine where you go from there. So Especially with all the other cleanup that's happening right as far as the NFL is concerned the dolphins are off this week the Buccaneers are on the road. I believe yes there but that's to me is you know far less important than what's happening down there in florida And uh, we just hope that uh somehow everybody's able to stay safe Yeah, as uh hurricane milton did its damage very much so all right, uh christopher's the fans is coming up here We haven't played in a little while let me get I don't see oh here we are Uh, you can win a pair of tickets to uh sublime You know that great band sublime.

I don't know Wow, you see money still there made him a shadow man. He did huh? Even with her elbow and all was it the first or second game in Korea or was it in Korea? It wasn't Korea.

You're on to around three here Here we go question number three Who is the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft 2003? Yes, why would that matter? I don't know because that was the year I graduated high school It's actually Does anybody know this? Yeah, I'm gonna defer that to Chris. He's gonna defer.

You did hologies to you. You did. Yeah, I don't normally Well draft questions are not my strength. No, but I was trying to think why you would ask that right? Yeah, he's the only guy that's still playing. Yeah, sure All right, let's go to Richard and Paradise Hills. Hello, sir I'm not going for it. That LeBron question should have been a question number one. I agree Richard's a basketball guy. Yes basketball guy. Give him some more basketball. All right. Here we go question number one Don't get Richard any football. He doesn't like football that much. He likes basketball I know he does it, but the questions are on the list Chris. All right. Turn your radio down. Please. Yes, please Richard Let's see the first question Okay, I'll make it a basketball one. I'll make it really easy. What color is an NBA basketball? Orange orange is correct. Chris is like blue No, that's a ABA the old ABA ball. You're right about that. All right question number two Everybody in my era growing up had to have an ABA basketball though It was kind of you have one too. It's the coolest thing to have when you're a kid All right, uh question number two. What is the name of the competition where athletes compete in 10 track and field events? It's a fair question What is the name of the competition where athletes compete in 10 track and field events? Uh Yeah, the cathlon to cathlon is correct. Nice job question number three name all 10 events All right, here we go question for the win, Richard. Have you ever won this game before? Yes, I have but it was years ago years ago. Okay, I know you've been playing for a while. Okay, good number three When josh bell and trent grisham hit their home runs in the 2022 game one wild card What wild card game one? Who was pitching for the Mets? Uh Max Scherzer. I don't know. I want to face it all. Uh, well you should because you're correct Wow Stay right there Beautiful job. Max Scherzer was indeed on the mound in game one that year. I do remember that. Yes and guess what He didn't do anything. He didn't have a very good game. You're right. Uh, all right. Good job. Richard stand on the line You will now one again, Richard your drought is over And chris versus the fans good job three innings in the books in that cleveland Detroit uh game Game four the wild card series tied at one Yankees kansas city Game four later tonight That's actually 508. So about an hour from now. They'll start that game Um I got an update from sammy Uh even what even more non-news about the dodger pitching Robert says they're still quote-unquote talking through how yamamoto would be a part of yeah, whatever He's just he I mean, can I just can I can I swear? gosh, gave roberts is full of leap exactly force. He just is he knows what he knows what they're doing He kidding me. What do you think he thought of all last night after the game his life flashing before his eyes? No, I mean he's thinking about who he's gonna pitch and what he's gonna do in game five That's all it's gotta be the number one thing on his mind and then he comes to a press conference You know 16 hours later as well. I'm kind of still thinking about it get out of here Higher they know exactly where they're going with Dave roberts is testing my patience Because you know how much I say I like the guy again I'm going to continue to say it because I you know I've had occasion To spend a little time with him and I really like him, but he's bugging me right now Well He really tried The whole thing with the ball being thrown at him was was ridiculous and it really has gone away Faster than it even because it was it shouldn't have been anything to begin with Well, Ken Rosenthal wrote the article which also blew it up and then blobby blah fair point There we go. Yeah, Ken Rosenthal another guy. It's hard to it's hard to have respect for Ken Rosenthal now I don't mind that he had an opinion. Yeah, but that's not the time to have it now when you're trying to cover a series like this No I I just think your judgment is awful And I don't disagree with you scrappy that fox should replace him I think it's fair to put the potter is in an uncomfortable position Of having to ask him to leave and real talk It's not good for their broadcast because they need both sides. They should have both sides I mean, uh, hopefully man. He hits a three-run homer in the fourth inning tomorrow And and you know, I guarantee you're not going to go talk to Ken Rosenthal after it. Nope No, that's done that bridges sailed or it just burned. No, that's that ship has sailed All right, Tony has sailed for a little bit. Yes. Uh, we have our nfl pick segment coming up though Next I must say as we get ready for it. Tony is crushing me In the nfl pick so I need to make a comeback and need to make a comeback soon We will see if that happens when we return after traffic on Gwen and Chris All right. Welcome back to Gwen and Chris good job by our guy Richard there And uh, we didn't hand it to him. Scrave. He got it on that last one. He's a really good job So he'll go to see uh, that fine band Uh, sublime. Will you stop with Rome? There's so many people that love sublime and you're just disrespect poking fun in any way shape or form. I called them a fine band That just sounds like a back Backhanded compliment exactly some sort exactly Um All right, uh, we got obviously Dodgers Padres day off today. We had mike shilt on earlier And um, we asked him a bunch of questions. He almost answered a couple of mine Uh, he's a tough nut to crack, but uh, but he's like He's not going to give anything away. That's what I mean. I go forward and let me say he's a tough nut to crack You're not going to get any real info But if you want to hear what mike shilt had to say ahead of game number five tomorrow You can go back and listen anytime you like at 97 three the fantasy or download the odyssey app Yes, tomorrow scraving. I'll be on at our regular time two o'clock. Tony will join us Uh, in and throughout that show tomorrow Uh prior to game five And then when the Padres win tomorrow night keeping our Fingers crossed here, of course, scraving and I are going to do a special Show on saturday from one to three That's right. So we got to let people know about that because People are not used to listening to us on a weekend. No and if if I mean if we're here on saturday christ, that's good. That's a really that's going to be good I will work on a saturday if the pardres are in the nlc s and keep in mind that game one of the nlc s Has now been scheduled by major league baseball Five 15 this sunday night And uh, hopefully at petco park the meds of course will be the visitors game two of the nlc s Will be monday afternoon at one oh eight monday afternoon.

Oh, oh, yeah, I got this. Okay. Here we go It's time for tony and christ to face up Playing for a season long prize of pride. I see pride. I see poor the guys make their picks And then they stress over their picks all weekend. No, please. No, no, no When in christ nfl pick up starts now I gotta say only one of us has been stressing so far this season and that's been me Because my picks have not been good. Tony's been great And in our point at a scoring system. He leads 33 to 19 That is a big margin. He seems to do well with this Uh, he's really good at picking the upset picks. So uh pay close attention to his upset pick this week It's been coming through In the meantime for three points this week. I picked the eagles over The disaster that is the cleveland browns For two points this week green bay at home over Arizona And for one point i'm counting on your niners tonight At seattle char various word is out. So oh, well, it's too late to change there goes dk mat cap with a big game Oh, I don't want to hear that Uh for tony's three point pick this week used in texans at new england h town He said that h town baltimore at home this weekend Uh Hate to say I don't remember who they're playing now ravens here they are Yeah, but don't worry pick them as this two point pick And atlanta at carolina was his one point pick picking against carolina Uh here my upset pick is the patriots. I need to pick up some ground There's seven point hundred dogs. I would definitely like the patriots to maybe catch the uh texans napping But I am worried with drake may rookie making his debut. Yeah, so that's gonna be tough Yeah, it's gonna be tough But I got to try it and then he's going with arizona for a second consecutive week He picked arizona last week to upset san francisco Got that and now he's going with arizona five points to upset green bay There are picks where we visit those but hopefully monday We won't have a whole lot of time to talk about them So, yeah, this will be busy doing other things.
