[SPEAKER_00]: I would highly recommend it.
02:08.422 --> 02:18.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Brendan, because we're going to have an episode here where we just kind of get this entire last three days out of our system and we'll be, you know, get as much negativity as we possibly can.
02:19.250 --> 02:23.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Outside of the D-backs, how has the, you know, start of the week been for you, my man?
02:26.745 --> 02:27.426
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been awful.
02:27.926 --> 02:34.454
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I fricked my mental state is dictated by this team.
02:35.134 --> 02:38.919
[SPEAKER_02]: I went on Monday and Wednesday, so two completely different outcomes to the game.
02:39.379 --> 02:40.881
[SPEAKER_02]: Monday, I was ecstatic.
02:40.961 --> 02:42.863
[SPEAKER_02]: I was throwing a eye on my eye.
02:43.163 --> 02:45.366
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe this kid's Corbin Carroll going, though.
02:46.883 --> 02:52.284
[SPEAKER_02]: Then Wednesday, it just, oh my god, it just seemed, it just seemed like they had no life.
02:52.744 --> 02:58.925
[SPEAKER_02]: Just, and they're back to the home runner bust, which, that's nice and all.
03:00.005 --> 03:07.206
[SPEAKER_02]: I, it's what we've been seeing in the last couple of weeks with this offense and really entire second half with the business core and position struggles.
03:07.887 --> 03:11.487
[SPEAKER_02]: Like everyone's trying to hit a home or I'm like, we don't need you guys to do that.
03:11.527 --> 03:12.367
[SPEAKER_02]: Just get a base hit.
03:18.440 --> 03:25.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, say it's it's well, we're talking about a lot, but it's been continuously an issue that like, I know the overall numbers might look good.
03:25.383 --> 03:29.986
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the debacks, you know, are do our better with renders and scoring position and all that over the entire season.
03:30.006 --> 03:36.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but I feel like if you're looking especially post all star break, it's been it's been pretty brutal.
03:36.349 --> 03:44.333
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say it's been pretty brutal just to witness like, you know, it's a running joke where anytime somebody gets on second base because I was also at the game on Wednesday as well.
03:45.173 --> 03:55.381
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and literally the, the second inning or sorry, the first inning, we get the bases loaded and one out seven up there with Perdomo and I'm like, I look my brother and I'm like, ah, I cool here we go, like we're not scoring.
03:55.401 --> 03:58.983
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, which, my brother's, you know, Cubs fan, he was wearing D-Vax gear the whole time.
03:59.524 --> 04:02.586
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, viewers giving me so much shit for booing, paving Smith and St.
04:02.606 --> 04:04.187
[SPEAKER_00]: Paving Smith get a home run, unfortunately.
04:04.747 --> 04:19.325
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll definitely time into that series more often, but maybe the second that basis load situation happened anytime somebody got in second I was like, yeah, we're not scoring and we were right as I went the last two games I think they were like O for 18, O for 19 if there was a score in position something like that
04:20.045 --> 04:32.648
[SPEAKER_02]: Which hey, they got one hit on Tuesday because that's a pretty double in extras So like one for 19 or something yeah one one for 19 with the wrist, which it's like okay That was a Mickey Mouse wrist for that one.
04:33.208 --> 04:43.211
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, it's been a if you do that in April or May or June You know, okay, you know, that's it's it's frustrating But it is whatever when in this room in the G-backs or you can't be doing that, but we'll dive on to that but
04:43.871 --> 04:52.621
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll just rip off the Band-Aid and kind of go through every game here because like Brandon said it's a little bit of a roller coaster of emotions, especially You know, I for myself as well.
04:52.641 --> 04:53.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine every divest one out there.
04:54.583 --> 05:01.171
[SPEAKER_00]: Monday, Quorum Burns makes his first star at Chase Field since his injury last year against the national so welcome back Quorum Burns
05:01.611 --> 05:20.183
[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, the Marlins gave him the big welcome back as he did surrender five runs in this one Two home runs four walks with or sorry four strikeouts with no walks which is pretty clutch But doesn't go forward two thirds which is very expected, you know, it's on a ending or pitch limit Just sucks that unfortunately the the D-back stood five back in this one again, St. E on Contra
05:20.903 --> 05:28.609
[SPEAKER_00]: to make it a three-three ball game after three and then that's when the marlins got two right back because the marlins are a scrappy bunch They got a pretty solid team.
05:29.109 --> 05:39.277
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not the marlins one like three years ago where they were like the Rockies where they're like a 50-win team Pretty solid team just unfortunately the the offense is too much for cornburns He left the game behind the bullpen was pretty solid.
05:39.297 --> 05:40.497
[SPEAKER_00]: This one outside of Ginklano.
05:40.518 --> 05:45.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Ginkl did get charged with a two-er and runs here That let the the marlins kind of, you know
05:45.641 --> 05:59.145
[SPEAKER_00]: Extend their lead a little bit make it 7 to 4 at one point and we're all sitting there like damn We just saw the rockies loose to the podry as the podgers one eight and a row We're sitting there like oh, if we lose this game we're three and a half back here on Monday night Like you just can't have this happen.
05:59.165 --> 06:11.068
[SPEAKER_00]: This is unfortunate and then the d-backs as a play I feel like when they do they're scoring it's only in a few innings and it seems like it's laid out of nowhere as an eighth inning Jordan dollar did hit an absolute piss missile of a home run
06:11.748 --> 06:17.873
[SPEAKER_00]: got the dvx back within only one run who was his fifth home run the year every one of his home runs has come at home a chase field.
06:18.414 --> 06:25.920
[SPEAKER_00]: There was 104 off the bat going 412 feet so it was nice to see from Jordan Lollard but hey you know what he doesn't need to face right hand at pitching we got payments myth for that.
06:26.581 --> 06:34.927
[SPEAKER_00]: And then in the ninth inning there a lead off walk from Gabriel Marino followed up by and we're all to put on a sack bun to get Gabby in the second base.
06:35.828 --> 06:37.690
[SPEAKER_00]: Set the stage for Corbin Care to come up there.
06:37.790 --> 06:46.057
[SPEAKER_00]: All we needed to at least see some extra innings potentially was Corbin just getting a nice base knock, you know, maybe maybe get a triple in the gap lead to something else like that.
06:47.418 --> 06:56.085
[SPEAKER_00]: But unfortunately he was able to, unfortunately, he was able to get a hang meatball right on the middle and Clover for his 21st home run.
06:56.366 --> 07:01.250
[SPEAKER_00]: D-backs walk it off on this one, and as Brandon said, looking like we were hoping to get a little
07:04.312 --> 07:22.545
[SPEAKER_00]: This series unfortunately that's that's where all the good times end as we go into Tuesday's game This one was the the game that at the d-backs when this this entire season's outlook of looking in the last like nine games is Entirely different as every team above them the cubs the fillies the podgers all lost on Tuesday So the d-backs being two and a half games back
07:22.905 --> 07:35.732
[SPEAKER_00]: that was a great chance to at least get to only one half game and gain a very very crucial game on everybody ahead of them, but the offense just decided to not pack any of their actual bats in this one as they just literally could not do anything.
07:35.753 --> 07:50.801
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean a solo shot from Gabby in the first inning was really all the defense could score in regulation as a then a solo shot believe it was from a Griffin Cone I in the son of the legendary Jeff Cone I made it one one and it was a one-one game the rest of the way and it's not like it wasn't the defense
07:52.302 --> 08:03.194
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they were one for 13 with runners in square position as Brandon mentioned earlier the one did come with a Katell Marte to out double there in the 11th inning when from which everything was all said and done.
08:03.754 --> 08:06.537
[SPEAKER_00]: They left 15 runners on base.
08:06.838 --> 08:08.980
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, 15 runners on base in this game.
08:09.440 --> 08:15.863
[SPEAKER_00]: So many opportunities, I mean, you had the I think it was the tenth inning, you had runners on a second and third with one out.
08:16.104 --> 08:18.725
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit of like a check swing chopper gets by the pitcher.
08:18.985 --> 08:22.407
[SPEAKER_00]: You're hoping that Pradomo can kind of sneak in there, slide in, walk it off.
08:22.867 --> 08:27.429
[SPEAKER_00]: But the Marlins catcher just made a nice play, he blocked the play, which again, he was legal allowed to do.
08:27.490 --> 08:29.711
[SPEAKER_00]: I think because it was a ball in the infield, whatever it was.
08:30.311 --> 08:31.532
[SPEAKER_00]: So Pradomo was indeed out.
08:32.372 --> 08:52.973
[SPEAKER_00]: and then Vargas did hit a ball to the short stop that he was I'd say about a glove lace short of being a under the tag at first page with what had been another walkoff opportunity but unfortunately that was out so the d-backs go to extras again and the bullpen that was really really solid in this game entirety I mean yet everybody from martina's Garcia mario ginkle all combined to go
08:53.754 --> 09:01.117
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was four innings of, you know, shut out baseball, struck out a bunch of batters, we didn't walk anybody like they were just night, like nightmare fuel for the Marlins.
09:01.517 --> 09:07.700
[SPEAKER_00]: Taylor Clark gives up a basis clearing double into the top of the 11th and as I mentioned, those, those all the Marlins needed.
09:08.120 --> 09:11.541
[SPEAKER_00]: As the D-back spats couldn't get anything going outside of that Katoma RTRBI knock.
09:12.081 --> 09:13.602
[SPEAKER_00]: So that made it a four to two ball games.
09:13.622 --> 09:16.143
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an absolute gut punch of a loss of it again.
09:16.163 --> 09:16.343
[SPEAKER_00]: That's,
09:16.863 --> 09:19.966
[SPEAKER_00]: If they win that game, that's probably the spark they need to continue the rest of the way.
09:19.986 --> 09:24.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Going forward, which leads into yesterday's game, where yes, it's a gun punch.
09:24.771 --> 09:27.274
[SPEAKER_00]: It sucks, but another win kind of gets you back on track.
09:27.594 --> 09:37.044
[SPEAKER_00]: It keeps you only two and a half games out of the wild card race going into your final nine games, which is not the greatest odds, but at least keeps it somewhat doable.
09:38.045 --> 09:39.708
[SPEAKER_00]: And once again, the offense couldn't do anything.
09:39.768 --> 09:43.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Mariel Kelly struggled on this one, a little bit, went four and two thirds.
09:43.413 --> 09:46.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Seven hits, three runs, two walks.
09:46.096 --> 09:47.959
[SPEAKER_00]: He did strike out nine, which is really solid to see.
09:48.560 --> 09:52.626
[SPEAKER_00]: But you just got it kind of bit by the walk in the runners.
09:52.666 --> 09:53.547
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was, um,
09:54.528 --> 10:05.044
[SPEAKER_00]: Messick that had the no sorry Marcy not Messick Marcy Jacob Marcy did a two home run two on home run off him Which in the end was pretty much all the Marlins needed as three solo shots from the D-vax he had paving Smith.
10:05.084 --> 10:10.392
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we all whatever Craven for paving I don't give a shit that dude is still not good like he died
10:10.932 --> 10:33.926
[SPEAKER_00]: One or two base hits here and there does not wipe away his career of mediocrity like through the sky is not good He had a solo shot there, or not out of solo shot and even Gabriel Mariner how to solo shot Gabby is first the only one in this game that wanted to do anything as him paving and they're not over the only Players with multi hits Gabby continues to make his case for the best catcher in baseball, and he is a 307 batting average after Yesterday, which is really really phenomenal.
10:33.946 --> 10:36.888
[SPEAKER_00]: Should do I think finish like top three in batting averages here, but
10:37.748 --> 10:42.349
[SPEAKER_00]: Then comes to the 9th inning DBX down by one run the Marlins, me and Brandon were talking about this before the show.
10:42.649 --> 11:01.894
[SPEAKER_00]: The Marlins are just kind of very petty trolls in this aspect, so I think they did it last year against the Mets where they reorganized their starting pitchers, going into the last three games in Miami with the Mets fighting for their playoff lives, and they had Sanial Contra, kind of either skip ahead a star or whatever it was going short to his rest to pitch against the Mets, a lot of Mets fans were salty,
11:02.154 --> 11:08.259
[SPEAKER_00]: The Barnes pulled that one and this one as obviously with Fairbanks being injured there on a Monday night scan that really have their normal closer.
11:08.940 --> 11:12.082
[SPEAKER_00]: So they brought out Saniel Contra and even me sitting in my seat.
11:12.423 --> 11:18.488
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sitting on my guess that fucking Saniel Contra, the starting pitcher for the Marlins from Monday.
11:18.848 --> 11:19.789
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it was.
11:19.849 --> 11:24.473
[SPEAKER_00]: He came in for his first relief appearance and first save-off opportunity since he was a St. Louis Cardinal.
11:25.154 --> 11:26.815
[SPEAKER_00]: D-backs had some pretty hard hit balls.
11:26.955 --> 11:30.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Payment Smith had one that was like three feet shiving a game time home run.
11:31.020 --> 11:34.784
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Tim Tawah had himself another like he just hit the ball really hard all over the ball park.
11:34.804 --> 11:35.605
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got unlucky.
11:36.225 --> 11:38.267
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the D-backs did get a little bit of life there.
11:38.307 --> 11:43.213
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan Lawler followed up a Jordan Lawler pinched it for Lars Newport after he worked a two-out walk.
11:44.093 --> 11:51.297
[SPEAKER_00]: And then got thrown out at second base with Katel Martei up in a one-run game, a chance to tie a walk it off, whatever it was.
11:51.757 --> 11:55.018
[SPEAKER_00]: The battle was taken out of Katel's hands because Jordallard got thrown out of second.
11:55.639 --> 12:05.783
[SPEAKER_00]: And in the game, the D-Baxco won in five against the Marlins this year, which is not ideal for any team, but especially, I mean, those are six games that we can look back and go like, Wow, yeah, we missed the playoffs.
12:05.803 --> 12:06.344
[SPEAKER_00]: Why how many?
12:07.104 --> 12:08.705
[SPEAKER_00]: How many games against the Marlins could we have back?
12:09.745 --> 12:11.006
[SPEAKER_00]: like that's that's it right there.
12:11.086 --> 12:13.547
[SPEAKER_00]: It's outside of Monday, which even Monday had a lot of frustrations.
12:13.927 --> 12:15.568
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just a piss pour effort from this team.
12:15.748 --> 12:20.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm trying to be as positive as I can with all the negativity that this team is kind of surround us with.
12:20.830 --> 12:22.631
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just the offense has been a trotace.
12:23.231 --> 12:29.314
[SPEAKER_00]: The the bullpen has been phenomenal and we mentioned before that of course we're going to have the best bullpen we've seen and probably are entire lifetimes at Dbex fans.
12:29.894 --> 12:49.762
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're not going to see them in the playoffs because this this offense is just absolutely just Unclutch when they need to be clutch and the starting pitching has been Mid for the last two months outside of erod and Brandon fought and that's gonna be in my opinion What sinks this team and we'll definitely talk about where the team kind of stands going into our last nine games But to kind of keep it focused on the marlins
12:50.562 --> 12:56.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Brandon, I'm going to turn it over to you, let at your thoughts on just everything that kind of went down the series.
12:56.669 --> 12:58.871
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a little bit of the good that we might have seen.
12:59.272 --> 13:05.899
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, get your thoughts on all of the, the unfortunate downsides that was to this series lost to the marlins.
13:08.002 --> 13:08.402
[SPEAKER_02]: Gabby.
13:08.702 --> 13:11.564
[SPEAKER_02]: Gabby was simply phenomenal in this series.
13:11.624 --> 13:15.106
[SPEAKER_02]: Had two homers and discontinues to play well.
13:15.547 --> 13:21.890
[SPEAKER_02]: Like not just at the play, but behind the dish as well, throws out Marcy.
13:21.950 --> 13:23.291
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was on Tuesday.
13:23.331 --> 13:25.092
[SPEAKER_02]: He gets them thrown out at first.
13:25.152 --> 13:27.834
[SPEAKER_02]: So Gabby just continues to perform well.
13:28.154 --> 13:29.455
[SPEAKER_02]: He actually leads all
13:35.977 --> 13:38.698
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, though, no way F or sorry.
13:39.018 --> 13:39.398
[SPEAKER_02]: My bad.
13:39.638 --> 13:40.218
[SPEAKER_02]: It's up for it.
13:43.719 --> 13:48.400
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, I don't just like he literally, yeah, he just passed.
13:48.500 --> 13:50.661
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's at, he's at five.
13:51.381 --> 13:53.761
[SPEAKER_02]: He has an a five F war.
13:56.182 --> 13:59.823
[SPEAKER_00]: The yesterday's game was in the graduate given a big boost in that aspect.
14:01.043 --> 14:07.449
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he just passed Dylan and learns at 4.7 like he he kept being like right behind them.
14:08.890 --> 14:12.293
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think he's been missing dingles been missing some time lately.
14:12.313 --> 14:16.737
[SPEAKER_02]: So Gabby's been able to take advantage of that.
14:16.757 --> 14:18.879
[SPEAKER_02]: So good thing for Gabby there.
14:19.940 --> 14:25.404
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that Gabe tweeted it out like where does Gabby finish and all start voting?
14:26.625 --> 14:26.986
[SPEAKER_00]: I think MVP.
14:29.508 --> 14:30.509
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sorry, that's what I'm not.
14:30.529 --> 14:31.310
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
14:31.430 --> 14:32.872
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see him getting to the top 10 votes.
14:33.272 --> 14:34.493
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see him getting some top 10 votes.
14:34.733 --> 14:35.014
[SPEAKER_00]: For sure.
14:35.034 --> 14:37.196
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's the best catcher in baseball.
14:37.216 --> 14:37.897
[SPEAKER_00]: He can make that case.
14:39.558 --> 14:40.740
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he is without a doubt.
14:40.860 --> 14:41.140
[SPEAKER_02]: Like.
14:42.221 --> 14:45.425
[SPEAKER_02]: And the season, like, we finally have to see how good it is.
14:45.525 --> 14:46.386
[SPEAKER_02]: Gado is full.
14:46.466 --> 14:46.766
[SPEAKER_02]: Healthy.
14:47.692 --> 14:48.712
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
14:48.732 --> 14:51.213
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it's like most of the dead in his entire career in this year.
14:52.313 --> 15:00.735
[SPEAKER_00]: Before his highest was like 3, 880, he had in 23, last couple of years, didn't you fail to fail to get to like 360 in this year, he's at 5, 14.
15:00.775 --> 15:06.036
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's, for reason why a lot of us been saying, lock this guy down for years, he's a phenomenal catcher.
15:07.157 --> 15:07.777
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that.
15:08.922 --> 15:09.643
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a big gift.
15:10.183 --> 15:19.050
[SPEAKER_02]: If Mike Hayes and his still here after the season, the number one priority needs to work on any extension with Gabrielle Marino.
15:19.370 --> 15:20.511
[SPEAKER_02]: They need to lock him up.
15:20.891 --> 15:23.153
[SPEAKER_02]: They cannot afford to lose him.
15:23.253 --> 15:28.397
[SPEAKER_02]: It's another solid piece for our core that should remain here for you very long time.
15:29.177 --> 15:38.145
[SPEAKER_02]: Even if my case isn't here, whoever the new general manager is, that should also be one of the top things on their list to get on this next off season.
15:38.685 --> 15:49.394
[SPEAKER_02]: Preferably before the CBA ends, but I don't know if Gabby and his camp would want to get that deal done before the CBA expires
15:57.308 --> 16:00.852
[SPEAKER_02]: Open, again, is just pitch phenomenal.
16:01.392 --> 16:03.254
[SPEAKER_02]: You gotta get, like it's so weird to say.
16:03.655 --> 16:06.638
[SPEAKER_02]: We're always talking so highly about how good the bullpen is.
16:07.459 --> 16:10.782
[SPEAKER_02]: Jay Boen, I actually pitched some back-to-back days for the first time coming back.
16:11.805 --> 16:13.506
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so that was really impressive.
16:13.566 --> 16:16.127
[SPEAKER_02]: So we kind of got our answer.
16:16.147 --> 16:18.347
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, when are we going to seem to go back to back days?
16:18.727 --> 16:21.989
[SPEAKER_02]: Sounds like it was about two weeks after he came back.
16:22.009 --> 16:26.170
[SPEAKER_02]: That was his return to play a protocol there was probably about two weeks.
16:26.510 --> 16:28.851
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the old Adam go back to back days.
16:29.271 --> 16:30.531
[SPEAKER_02]: So he pitched really well.
16:31.152 --> 16:37.674
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, looking at the F. War list, you know who get real marina was right in front of?
16:40.010 --> 16:41.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's a ringworm.
16:42.231 --> 16:44.791
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the, the little titties.
16:48.052 --> 16:49.212
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk like that guy.
16:49.232 --> 16:52.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, head, he tip of the cap to the season he's been having, but yeah, test that man.
16:52.913 --> 16:54.634
[SPEAKER_00]: Test that man, do a blood test if he needs to.
16:55.094 --> 16:55.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's cheating again.
16:55.914 --> 16:57.654
[SPEAKER_00]: I just know, I can't be surprised.
16:57.674 --> 17:01.495
[SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't be surprised if he'd been tested already.
17:01.555 --> 17:02.635
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no way.
17:03.736 --> 17:07.917
[SPEAKER_02]: Going through and heading 20 plus homers in like two months,
17:10.228 --> 17:11.529
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like you're pretty crazy.
17:11.549 --> 17:14.371
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I want to investigate that.
17:14.471 --> 17:18.855
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, it was a bummer just seeing and losing this series.
17:18.915 --> 17:21.156
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Tuesday to me was so deflating.
17:21.176 --> 17:23.478
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, you have a great shot.
17:23.919 --> 17:30.884
[SPEAKER_02]: A huge opportunity to get yourself back in the race and potentially do very, very well.
17:32.210 --> 17:34.531
[SPEAKER_02]: They just couldn't get it done because they could not.
17:34.851 --> 17:36.531
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're sounding like a broken record.
17:36.871 --> 17:43.394
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm second tired of talking about it is the inability to hit when I got rid of just second base.
17:44.014 --> 17:46.495
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm, it's just, it's just so bad.
17:47.015 --> 17:47.755
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it is.
17:49.475 --> 17:56.558
[SPEAKER_02]: And if they don't want to fire a tour, they don't want to fire a haze in, you know, who next needs to go?
17:58.402 --> 18:04.804
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my, like, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being the scapegoat for this season.
18:05.245 --> 18:15.208
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it's the offense that is, like, if they were average with Vernon's scoring position, they'd probably be in a playoff spot right now.
18:15.228 --> 18:16.569
[SPEAKER_02]: They wouldn't be four games back.
18:17.689 --> 18:23.151
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's really what's holding this team back is the inability to hit with Vernon's scoring position.
18:24.756 --> 18:26.558
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it sucks, because I mean, post also break.
18:26.578 --> 18:28.200
[SPEAKER_00]: I know mentioned really it feels like after the also break.
18:28.780 --> 18:35.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Looking at least on the NB site, I can't really like, you know, but overnight fits a look like what they look like, wrist wise after the also break.
18:35.147 --> 18:39.331
[SPEAKER_00]: But the offense in general since the also break is it's a top five offense.
18:39.591 --> 18:39.811
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
18:40.372 --> 18:41.793
[SPEAKER_00]: You look at a post-alsaur break.
18:41.813 --> 18:50.637
[SPEAKER_00]: Their offense in general has a 750 team OPS, which is behind the red socks who were fourth, bruised, third, Padres, second, Cubs and first.
18:51.237 --> 18:52.858
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like they got a great offense in general.
18:52.918 --> 18:58.361
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just, you know, like you mentioned, when you get runners on in the score and position, they just don't do anything in that position.
18:59.041 --> 19:03.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they just they just they can't actually make it, you know, they can't be clutch.
19:03.205 --> 19:16.879
[SPEAKER_00]: They can't come up with a hit that they need and again It's not like we we always need a home run like yes home runs with runs and scrubbing this and always fun But it's just like I think the last what the last time they've actually had success with the risk was the ninth inning on what Sunday
19:17.359 --> 19:33.574
[SPEAKER_00]: against the Rangers and then I mean obviously if you want to count the Friday against Rangers like yes there was that one as well but I feel like I mean Sunday those doubles were always like wow it's nice to see this team actually like you know get some some clutch hits when they need to but you I think even in our discord it's been thought we were talking about it like
19:34.515 --> 19:40.965
[SPEAKER_00]: As of late, this team is switched from like a, oh, we don't have power to the only way it seems like we can score is from the home run ball.
19:41.565 --> 19:50.859
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, out of the, the last, what the last four runs we scored, uh, last day, last five runs we scored between two or three last five.
19:51.199 --> 19:54.481
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, four of the last five was in Wednesday, we're all this is the home run.
19:54.821 --> 19:59.643
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you want to count the the last seven runs, the last six of seven.
20:00.063 --> 20:00.944
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I did that in purpose.
20:01.724 --> 20:05.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Going back to Corbycale's block off home run or even Jordan Lawyers.
20:05.086 --> 20:06.667
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to add in another more, that's what.
20:07.708 --> 20:16.718
[SPEAKER_00]: 8 of 9 so like the last 8 of 9 runs that they have scored have all been on home runs I mean if you want to go to I mean it just feels like that's the only way they can score home runs Which or score is off home runs which again?
20:16.738 --> 20:24.828
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not like upset about it We've we've been one in this team to have pop all year But that's just the only way it feels at this team has been able to score in general
20:25.308 --> 20:36.942
[SPEAKER_00]: uh as if you want to go back to the last time uh the team scored without a hitting home run was in the fifth inning on Monday's game when Corbyn Carroll had that you know like kind of like bloops single um to make it five four.
20:36.982 --> 20:45.011
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's the last time the D-backs in the last of these three days uh scored without the runs coming off of a home run or out of that like
20:45.732 --> 20:51.578
[SPEAKER_00]: that's the Katella hit and then the Corbin hit those are the only times the de-vaxx series scored any runs without the ball going over the fence.
20:52.079 --> 20:55.642
[SPEAKER_00]: Which, getting them to keep saying it, I'm not mad about, I like home runs.
20:55.782 --> 21:02.789
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just do it when there's runners on, do it when you have runners on first and second and second and third bases loaded to get a grand slam.
21:02.809 --> 21:04.251
[SPEAKER_00]: This team felt like early on the season.
21:04.271 --> 21:07.354
[SPEAKER_00]: They were getting so many grand slam opportunities and a couple grand slams.
21:07.714 --> 21:08.775
[SPEAKER_00]: That should go their way, but
21:09.576 --> 21:36.153
[SPEAKER_00]: Just as of late, they're doing all their, you know, damage with maybe one runner on or just with the bases empty, it's all solo shots, which is the most frustrating thing because you see them in so many of these opportunities, it's like, I was even joking about it again on last night's game with the bases low to like, all right, here comes a pop out and a strike out and it's like, well, there's a pop out and a strike out or there's a strike out and then a pop out like it's it's just, it's very predictable with this team and opposing teams are knowing how to attack them.
21:36.733 --> 21:57.482
[SPEAKER_00]: and I think they even mentioned the couple times after the Tuesday game that it felt like the the offense and the unit itself as a team were just pushing too hard to you know get that big hit which I know I've been mentioning it a little while here on the show that I feel like that's kind of the mode they've been in as of late is they know they're playoff race they know they need to win these games and they're just trying to play hero ball which is not a recipe for success.
21:57.722 --> 22:04.644
[SPEAKER_00]: like that's, and we're seeing the results of that of them now after the podres beating the shit out of the rockies and chorus field.
22:04.664 --> 22:11.906
[SPEAKER_00]: We're now officially four games out of a playoff spot, which, guess again, we have a chance, you know, that's not a zero percent chance.
22:11.926 --> 22:19.568
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in 2023, there's a moment where in September the D-backs I'd like a nearly same percentage of a chance to make it to October.
22:21.728 --> 22:47.621
[SPEAKER_00]: it's just this team just does not really perform well in September and I know Jim did a great article on the snake pit about the debacks you know September collapses and it's not really they don't really collapse it's just I feel like they don't have the gas they need to make it to the playoffs where other teams like we're seeing what the podgers can do what some of these other teams were doing where they're going on these crazy winstreaks are put on some insane games here and there the debacks just play mid baseball in September when they need to play
22:48.261 --> 22:51.563
[SPEAKER_00]: good baseball and playoff caliber baseball and we're not seeing that from it.
22:51.583 --> 23:08.151
[SPEAKER_00]: So that I think that's kind of where we get the idea that they're a September collapse team last couple years But they're just they just don't perform well when Crunch time comes whether that's with runs in square position or the time of the year when they need to win as many baseball games as a can if they actually want to play october baseball, but
23:09.051 --> 23:14.315
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's it's it's it's it's a tough feeling because again, I'm all I'll be a fan of this team.
23:14.335 --> 23:18.057
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a fan of this team in 21 when we had one of the worst seasons in in team history.
23:18.077 --> 23:28.665
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I still tuned in the games even in 2016 when we were horrible again, like I'd still tuned in the games when we were losing for nothing in the first sitting already and I'd still watch the rest of the game.
23:28.685 --> 23:29.786
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'll always support this team.
23:29.806 --> 23:30.466
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll always be a fan.
23:30.486 --> 23:31.667
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll always want them to win.
23:32.087 --> 23:32.368
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just
23:33.528 --> 23:59.430
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a good punch every year to be this close and we miss out by it feels like a gamer too And it's not like where just being outplay, like, you know, the podgers are outplaying us It just feels like we're always shooting ourselves in the foot when we get the best opportunity to actually You know, win our own way into the playoffs Yeah, and I think that's most frustrating for me is They don't score first block
24:00.915 --> 24:02.456
[SPEAKER_02]: So we scored a fun Tuesday.
24:02.856 --> 24:06.679
[SPEAKER_02]: That was the first time we'd scored in the first ending since August 28th.
24:06.959 --> 24:11.161
[SPEAKER_02]: So almost basically two weeks of not scoring in the first inning.
24:11.262 --> 24:12.803
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what the promise.
24:13.063 --> 24:16.085
[SPEAKER_02]: They are behind the April so much.
24:16.945 --> 24:21.686
[SPEAKER_02]: And like, everyone's like, oh, they have suddenly come come from behind the winds, but that's excellent.
24:22.466 --> 24:25.267
[SPEAKER_02]: It's because they give up for us early.
24:25.827 --> 24:26.827
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're always right.
24:27.007 --> 24:29.408
[SPEAKER_02]: They're behind the eight ball just immediately.
24:29.448 --> 24:31.428
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's, it's just frustrating.
24:31.928 --> 24:36.629
[SPEAKER_02]: And like, when you're watching the Pilgris these last few weeks, it's score early.
24:37.209 --> 24:39.410
[SPEAKER_02]: They get out of it.
24:39.790 --> 24:43.630
[SPEAKER_02]: And they have a really good seventh eighth and then then in guy.
24:43.910 --> 24:45.931
[SPEAKER_02]: So they just got to get a lead to the sixth inning and
24:48.840 --> 24:54.748
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they put the pressure on early and it's not like the the defects were even when the defects do put the pressure on early.
24:54.808 --> 24:58.213
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like those middle innings, they just disappear or the pod just don't really do that.
24:58.253 --> 24:59.554
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, that's what we're seeing.
25:00.375 --> 25:05.142
[SPEAKER_00]: It sucks, but that's sometimes we got to admit as a fan, we're like, all right, like this is the difference between an actual playoff team.
25:05.822 --> 25:15.650
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's the what the the joke of there's playoff contenders and there's playoff pretenders and I feel like the last couple weeks we've definitely seen the D-backs be more playoff pretenders.
25:15.690 --> 25:29.279
[SPEAKER_00]: The national contenders like the the cubs and phillies and podgers and the the the the latter two have struggled a little bit they've come back on earth but you know this is the the reason why the podgers are going to make it back to the playoffs for what the third straight year.
25:30.580 --> 25:52.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they made it in 24 or 25 and now that's be 26 So it's gonna be you a reason why they you know keep make it back to the playoffs It's gonna be a generational hate watch for me in the wild card if they make it like I know Brandon your podger fan You're gonna be rooting for them But I'm gonna be sitting in there just like I'm gonna be throwing all my money on their money line Because I'm just the generational jinx when it comes to betting so just all my money on the podres
25:52.846 --> 25:57.490
[SPEAKER_00]: So like if I had to pay 20 bucks to see them lose every game, that's a good $20 worth to me.
25:57.530 --> 25:59.772
[SPEAKER_00]: I've spent 20 bucks in much, much worse scenarios.
26:00.292 --> 26:02.494
[SPEAKER_00]: So like I'll do it.
26:02.594 --> 26:06.958
[SPEAKER_00]: If it needs me to be the bet jinx, I'll do it because I don't know.
26:07.078 --> 26:09.540
[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned it before and it's not a repository fan.
26:09.560 --> 26:12.582
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the ones on Twitter that are so annoying to deal with.
26:13.623 --> 26:31.197
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, say it's a very vocal and they're very like all they talk about is just the attendance They're like, oh, maybe you guys should show up for games like brother you guys live in one of the nicest cities and one of the Bet like some of the best weather to go watch a baseball game like yes, it's gonna be a packed environment Same on how in cores field.
26:31.217 --> 26:36.941
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a packed environment even though that team is absolutely dog ass like sorry Just it's a nice area nice stadium nice weather.
26:36.961 --> 26:39.944
[SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna have a lot more fans go to then and
26:41.798 --> 26:44.665
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll even admit it, this is a fair weather sports town.
26:44.685 --> 26:46.729
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of transplant fans are the pod just been around.
26:47.830 --> 27:13.757
[SPEAKER_00]: before you're gonna have more fans like it's like how this is 60's so yeah yeah they've they've been around a while exactly exactly so it's just oh which we'll definitely talk about uh then especially you know kind of what's looking forward but this is like I said usually we'll have you know a couple topics specifically here they want to go over you know dive in each one but I mean outside of gathering on marino
27:15.140 --> 27:16.621
[SPEAKER_00]: There's really not much good in this one.
27:16.761 --> 27:18.102
[SPEAKER_00]: Like yes, pavementsmith.
27:18.123 --> 27:24.888
[SPEAKER_00]: This team is now one in five cents or sorry, one in four since a recalling pavementsmith.
27:25.369 --> 27:35.837
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he had a home run and yesterday's game, it's not like he's been the only reason they've been losing but it's just what there's six and 17 or whatever it is, like over around 10 games or 500 with him on the roster.
27:36.318 --> 27:36.538
[SPEAKER_00]: And then,
27:40.209 --> 27:42.892
[SPEAKER_00]: without him on the rocking like he's not the one, you know, baseball.
27:42.912 --> 27:44.414
[SPEAKER_00]: You only get one out of every nine at bats.
27:44.454 --> 27:46.256
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you can only feel the balls that are hit towards you.
27:46.276 --> 27:48.258
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not the one throwing meat balls.
27:50.281 --> 27:50.481
[SPEAKER_00]: Walk.
27:56.119 --> 28:18.373
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just unfortunate to see, but any other Final Thoughts or any other things that you least wanted to bring up on this Marvel series, because I know just like every other bad series this year, we're looking to flush this one and move on as it doesn't become an easier task with what's coming up, but there are at least a few maybe positive ways we can spin in here in a second, but any other final things on this very, very unfortunate Marvel series that very well have could have been a sweep in the D-bex favor.
28:20.054 --> 28:23.317
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I want to, I don't want to talk about this day anymore.
28:23.557 --> 28:26.180
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, man, these marlins are just so fascinating.
28:26.260 --> 28:29.203
[SPEAKER_02]: And like, they have a bunch of got you like, ooh, and who?
28:29.303 --> 28:29.743
[SPEAKER_02]: And who?
28:30.384 --> 28:33.887
[SPEAKER_02]: Yet they perform better than we did in this series.
28:34.888 --> 28:40.053
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's, and I haven't even said before, if they're the marlins, they always give us a tough time.
28:40.473 --> 28:43.716
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, even when they were a bad team, like I remember even in 20, I think it was in 24.
28:45.762 --> 28:47.242
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, I can't remember.
28:47.622 --> 28:54.063
[SPEAKER_00]: There's either 24 or 25 one of the years where kind of same thing happened, where it was either August or September, we had the Marlins in town for a series that we needed to win.
28:54.504 --> 28:56.864
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were much worse than they are now.
28:56.884 --> 28:59.804
[SPEAKER_00]: They were not, you know, I think they were like a 65 win team.
29:00.505 --> 29:06.046
[SPEAKER_00]: And they just, they always give us an issue and, you know, to your credit as you say all the time, like they're still majorly teams.
29:06.466 --> 29:10.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they're not going to be, it's not like you're a majorly team going and playing a bunch of college teams.
29:10.206 --> 29:12.747
[SPEAKER_00]: They were like, yeah, you should beat the shit out of the squad.
29:14.767 --> 29:22.153
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like how when people were always making the jokes like, oh, wow, this Ohio State team could go into Cleveland and beat the Browns and like, bro, no, it's still an NFL team.
29:22.193 --> 29:28.517
[SPEAKER_00]: The NFL team would put that college team in the dirt by like 50 points, even if it's the worst NFL team, like, I'm sorry.
29:29.018 --> 29:32.100
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the, you know, and it's not like this is facing my only team.
29:32.120 --> 29:33.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Like these are all Major League players.
29:33.521 --> 29:34.062
[SPEAKER_00]: They are good.
29:34.262 --> 29:37.164
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in the Major League's for a reason when you're knocking when every single game.
29:37.784 --> 29:38.005
[SPEAKER_00]: But.
29:38.705 --> 29:46.732
[SPEAKER_00]: God, it's just, it's so frustrating when so many times the last couple weeks, they've had these games that were well within their grasp to win.
29:46.752 --> 29:59.865
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you can foot things so often, but take a couple of these wins, foot them around, like maybe the one against Kansas City, maybe obviously one of the, one of these two against the marons, you can take, doesn't have to be both of them.
29:59.885 --> 30:03.488
[SPEAKER_00]: I prefer the one on Tuesday because then at least we'd be, you know, a game culture to them.
30:03.828 --> 30:13.130
[SPEAKER_00]: We could still be half a game behind, maybe a game in half, or help even a half a game ahead on the podgers or tied, being much better positioned than being four out, which is
30:14.666 --> 30:38.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Now looking great and the reason why it's not looking great which we'll dive into our next series now as a fun weekend coming up this is the 25th anniversary celebration of the D-backs taken down the evil empire the New York Yankees and the greatest world series ever 2001 so it's going to be a celebration weekend here but that might be some of the best vibes as the Yankees are coming to town they have officially clinched a playout spot so maybe there's
30:39.702 --> 30:56.159
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we can catch them on a little bit of a, you know, celebration hangover even those two days ago and maybe they're going to be trying to rest some guys going in this series, but still not the greatest when you look especially at the pitching matchups as we've got a tough task ahead of us.
30:56.780 --> 31:12.287
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you guys heard about the DVAC struggles against right-handed pitching wall yet ready for this series because Friday night Garrett Cole former sigh young winner right-hander with a 367 ERA on the season going up against e-rod And then yes, what Saturday?
31:12.367 --> 31:18.170
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, how about one of those the favorites for the American League sigh young cams Schlittler You got a disgusting splitter.
31:18.210 --> 31:22.892
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, get ready for that 14 and six in the year with this one nine five ERA going against Brandon fought
31:23.292 --> 31:25.853
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Sunday, we got Will Warren, another right-handed pitcher.
31:26.193 --> 31:36.975
[SPEAKER_00]: He's 10 and 6 in the year with a 3-8-9 ERA going up against Corbin Burns for his second start of, uh, I had chase field since his return, so this is a series that's going to be very tough.
31:37.235 --> 31:39.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I'm not sure if Judge is going to be here or not.
31:39.996 --> 31:43.957
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that he was a pole from their game, I believe yesterday.
31:44.477 --> 31:47.618
[SPEAKER_00]: Afternoon against the twins, he was poleed for like some late cramping.
31:48.118 --> 31:51.379
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I know he recently came off the injure list because of a big issue that had him
31:53.759 --> 32:10.085
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's potential that we don't face judge, but even without judge last couple months of this Yankees team is still a really solid squad, and as I mentioned, when you look at the pitching matchups, considering what this team, you go look at pretty much any Jesse Freeman tweet about the DVACs not just against starting pitchers, but especially right hand-to-starters.
32:11.005 --> 32:12.466
[SPEAKER_00]: it's not giving me a lot of hope.
32:12.686 --> 32:24.454
[SPEAKER_00]: When a time of the year where we pretty much need to sweep, I mean, we've been saying we need to sweep these teams, and that's why you sweep the teams like the Rangers and Marlins, because then you can maybe afford to only win one or two against the Yankees.
32:25.414 --> 32:25.814
[SPEAKER_00]: We got it.
32:25.834 --> 32:26.915
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to sweep the Yankees.
32:26.935 --> 32:28.576
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's, that's just playing a simple.
32:28.596 --> 32:34.520
[SPEAKER_00]: If we want to have really any chance, and again, not realistically with the podris, so playing the Dodgers before we go to town,
32:35.020 --> 32:48.539
[SPEAKER_00]: there is a chance that you know even just winning one against Yankees is good enough depending on how the podgers do against I think the brewers is where they play next I think it's the brewers raise and then us or brewers raise fuck who is it
32:49.629 --> 32:51.831
[SPEAKER_02]: No, Marlins, Dodgers, and then us.
32:52.011 --> 32:53.211
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, Marlins Dodgers us.
32:53.231 --> 32:57.094
[SPEAKER_00]: Who knows, again, maybe the Marlins can help us out, which, you know, I'm gonna be a big Marlins fan now.
32:57.514 --> 32:59.296
[SPEAKER_00]: After you're calling the petty, go Marlins.
32:59.336 --> 32:59.976
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you very much.
32:59.996 --> 33:01.257
[SPEAKER_00]: The Marlins can help us out, cool.
33:01.837 --> 33:06.560
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, we just, we can't, we've been saying it the last three weeks.
33:06.640 --> 33:08.722
[SPEAKER_00]: We can't keep relying on these 11 teams to help us out.
33:09.102 --> 33:24.934
[SPEAKER_00]: D-backs need to, it's going to be tough, it's going to be an uphill battle, they need to go out there, they need to sweep the Yankees if they really want to have any kind of hope and get them any kind of juice going into the last, you know, six games after this because if they drop two of three in the podger is keep playing the way they are, it's over.
33:24.954 --> 33:36.082
[SPEAKER_00]: I think our wild, I'm going to double check, I think our wild card elimination, or just our playoff elimination number is, let me confirm, yeah, we are a wild card elimination number is six.
33:36.602 --> 33:40.633
[SPEAKER_00]: So if we get swept by the Yankees and the plodry sweep the marlins, that's it.
33:40.833 --> 33:41.194
[SPEAKER_00]: It's over.
33:41.375 --> 33:44.884
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's, I mean, again, we'd be seven games back with six to play.
33:44.904 --> 33:45.566
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously, but
33:47.193 --> 33:49.434
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's not it's not going to be an easy battle.
33:49.814 --> 33:53.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I'm I'm curious your thoughts in general and kind of you know what we got coming to town.
33:54.055 --> 34:01.537
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, it's going to be a fun time if you're going to be any games there, especially celebrating the 25th anniversary of the World Series squad and I'm going to be at least had a couple games here.
34:02.338 --> 34:10.320
[SPEAKER_00]: What are your thoughts in general and kind of what we got coming up here and what do you think the D backs can do offensively if they want to have any shot against the three righties that we're facing here this weekend.
34:12.420 --> 34:21.026
[SPEAKER_02]: My expectations for this series are incredibly low, like very, very low, like it's right in a pit train, which we struggle against so bad.
34:21.046 --> 34:31.512
[SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't be surprised if Haven plays all the games because apparently left handed and there was a lot of madly do better.
34:31.712 --> 34:32.613
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I, I,
34:34.463 --> 34:41.708
[SPEAKER_02]: Even like, I don't understand at this point why the elf feeling is not waldy, luller, Carol, every day.
34:42.308 --> 34:46.370
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I do not care about lefty.
34:46.450 --> 34:52.854
[SPEAKER_02]: Like put Nupar at the age, and they picked up, and he said, all which isn't that against righty's either.
34:52.874 --> 34:58.538
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and he should be playing first base, not pavement Smith.
34:59.402 --> 35:04.106
[SPEAKER_02]: But they're going to play, haven't because I guess they saw something down right now.
35:04.126 --> 35:05.708
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, we know what he is.
35:05.768 --> 35:06.949
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a for a player.
35:07.549 --> 35:11.413
[SPEAKER_02]: He demolishes Triple A pitching and majorly pitching.
35:11.473 --> 35:12.273
[SPEAKER_02]: He can not hit.
35:12.734 --> 35:15.036
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and like you said, we have to sweep.
35:15.316 --> 35:16.577
[SPEAKER_02]: That's really what it comes down to.
35:17.278 --> 35:22.082
[SPEAKER_02]: And we need Marlon to at least win the series against the boundaries or to sweep the boundaries.
35:23.503 --> 35:32.466
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if they need podgers and we sweep the Yankees, we're so fucking back, but I'm not putting any, any, any, any stalking me.
35:32.486 --> 35:37.068
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just, the team is not giving me any hope to think that that's an actual possibility with the way they've been playing.
35:37.748 --> 35:39.649
[SPEAKER_02]: Podgers are not in one in the last 10.
35:40.609 --> 35:41.410
[SPEAKER_02]: We're five and five.
35:41.830 --> 35:43.970
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we've, like we've locked so much great.
35:44.010 --> 35:45.891
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we were a half game back.
35:46.591 --> 35:48.072
[SPEAKER_02]: We, we've been a half game up.
35:49.490 --> 35:52.672
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, not even a week ago, and now we're four games out of it.
35:52.692 --> 36:03.039
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it just, it things just got way out of control really fast, because we couldn't take the series against the Rangers, and we couldn't take this series.
36:03.439 --> 36:06.721
[SPEAKER_02]: And San Diego has been doing what they're supposed to.
36:07.262 --> 36:09.343
[SPEAKER_02]: Winning baseball games, we're not winning baseball games.
36:09.643 --> 36:13.046
[SPEAKER_02]: San Diego's playing their best ball right now, we'll probably playing our worst ball right now.
36:13.726 --> 36:16.007
[SPEAKER_02]: So we need to find some way
36:17.023 --> 36:19.864
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, two bames in the next six games.
36:20.524 --> 36:32.328
[SPEAKER_02]: We need to be at minimum two games back of San Diego by an X Friday to have even a smallest up a chance.
36:32.689 --> 36:36.530
[SPEAKER_02]: Because then you say you make me three because we wouldn't need a sweep, but...
36:38.127 --> 36:40.528
[SPEAKER_02]: We would then own the tiebreaker by sweeping.
36:40.608 --> 36:52.475
[SPEAKER_02]: So I just would feel more comfortable being too back, but a hundred or like you said, if we're three back at that last weekend series.
36:54.823 --> 36:56.724
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, anything is possible.
36:56.884 --> 37:00.186
[SPEAKER_02]: I just wouldn't put too much stock into it.
37:00.766 --> 37:02.147
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not really holding my breath.
37:02.267 --> 37:02.647
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't.
37:02.968 --> 37:04.308
[SPEAKER_02]: This team's just not playing Rower.
37:04.589 --> 37:07.570
[SPEAKER_02]: They, they, they can, I hate what's on our skin, score on our position.
37:07.890 --> 37:09.331
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's really what it comes down to.
37:09.391 --> 37:11.132
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's, we're broken record.
37:11.172 --> 37:13.754
[SPEAKER_02]: I was pretty sure we said that every series the last two months.
37:14.394 --> 37:15.595
[SPEAKER_02]: Very least, it's the All-Star Break.
37:16.318 --> 37:17.078
[SPEAKER_00]: at least at least.
37:17.319 --> 37:20.560
[SPEAKER_00]: And the another note is the podgers are phenomenal home.
37:20.580 --> 37:24.162
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're like 15 games over 500 when they're playing a pet go park.
37:24.683 --> 37:26.684
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, it makes sense when you got a 40, 29 at home.
37:29.103 --> 37:30.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so like 17 over 500.
37:30.544 --> 37:32.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like they're they're it's insane.
37:32.345 --> 37:33.645
[SPEAKER_00]: It's ridiculous how good they are at home.
37:33.705 --> 37:37.487
[SPEAKER_00]: So another, you know, kind of I mean, we are just as good.
37:37.507 --> 37:38.707
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, sorry.
37:38.747 --> 37:41.289
[SPEAKER_00]: No, we're a bad or we're not a bad routine.
37:41.309 --> 37:42.949
[SPEAKER_00]: We're like a 500 growth team.
37:43.069 --> 37:44.830
[SPEAKER_00]: We're much better at home than we are on the road.
37:45.210 --> 37:46.551
[SPEAKER_00]: And the podgers are much better.
37:47.672 --> 37:48.412
[SPEAKER_00]: The same boat as us.
37:48.452 --> 37:49.292
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to be on the road.
37:49.312 --> 37:49.893
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to be home.
37:50.033 --> 37:50.633
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not great.
37:51.254 --> 37:56.205
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is, I don't want this to get clipped out of context, by the way, this is, I'm going to fully say it.
37:56.626 --> 37:59.432
[SPEAKER_00]: What should get in the chat here saying,
38:00.643 --> 38:04.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I think us de-backs fans together.
38:05.027 --> 38:12.753
[SPEAKER_00]: If you guys know the popular meme I'm talking about of the bluts in the crypts uniting, they have their blue and their red bandana's tied together, hold them their hands up.
38:13.113 --> 38:16.456
[SPEAKER_00]: That's gonna be us and Dodger fans on Tuesday, Wednesday.
38:16.496 --> 38:22.501
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the Dodger fans probably dislike the Dodger is more than, I mean, we're all the little brothers to the Dodgers, let's just be honest, it's been the last decade.
38:23.142 --> 38:26.284
[SPEAKER_00]: But of all the little brothers, the Dodgers are the only one that's been
38:27.045 --> 38:54.680
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like the most annoying about it out of all of them, I guess the giants aren't really the little brothers because they at least have, you know, the three worlds through championships like a decade ago, but a hundred percent going to be rooting for the Dodgers next Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, which normally I wouldn't find myself for it, and yes, I know they clinched their division today, but with the fact that they are still technically in play for the first, you know, spot in the playoffs for the number one seed.
38:55.946 --> 39:04.253
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm hoping that they don't rest any of their starters and they actually play as much as it can because, you know, it could be a two birds of one stone.
39:04.594 --> 39:17.164
[SPEAKER_00]: They help out their odds using the number one seed and maybe they potentially spoil the podress one and if we play good enough, we can, you know, maybe take that spot from them and then the Dodgers can just kind of like point and laugh again like the kid from the Simpsons.
39:18.676 --> 39:30.406
[SPEAKER_00]: So yes, I, for three days next week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I will be saying go Dodgers, which, again, don't clip it on a context, but the only three days you will ever hear me rooting for the Dodgers.
39:30.566 --> 39:35.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it could be literally the Dodgers' versus Joseph Stalin, and I might be, you might be torn.
39:35.830 --> 39:37.051
[SPEAKER_00]: You might have me torn on that one.
39:37.071 --> 39:39.654
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure who I'd root for, because I feel like through the same.
39:39.714 --> 39:40.915
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all just a joke, by the way.
39:40.935 --> 39:44.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, say it's, it's, it's, kind of like Brandon said.
39:46.195 --> 39:55.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a lot of help going into this weekend series, considering all the struggles that have been very talked about by, again, not just us.
39:55.057 --> 39:57.337
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be Jesse and Jack on Sancterator.
39:57.357 --> 39:59.238
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be Derek and Damon over on PHNX.
39:59.598 --> 40:02.599
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be any other DBX podcast that everybody might be listening to.
40:02.979 --> 40:08.980
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so many other people that say the same as that things as us, and it's it's it's not a secret, but
40:09.800 --> 40:10.080
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
40:10.180 --> 40:11.282
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the scene will surprise us.
40:11.342 --> 40:17.748
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like at times the team does play better when you know, they're, they have lesser stakes, which I know the stakes are still there.
40:18.408 --> 40:26.636
[SPEAKER_00]: But I feel like when people kind of count them out, there's a lot of times where, you know, that's, that's the weird thing about D-backs is they have you, they have you fool.
40:26.756 --> 40:32.422
[SPEAKER_00]: You're sitting there and you're all right, a season's over, then they win three, four, and a row, and they give a game back to the wild card and you're like,
40:33.532 --> 40:40.295
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's let's make it happen and they go on a call rot on the guess swept me like ah Fuck there it is there's the the hard brick.
40:40.355 --> 40:51.520
[SPEAKER_00]: I was I was waiting to pour so hopefully can avoid it And I just want some good baseball I don't know about you bring are you gonna be going to any games as we can for a day and Saturday I'm getting there to a clock on Saturday, but
40:53.810 --> 41:04.177
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna, it's tough because I'm gonna try to be there, uh, the legend Jason, which if you guys remember any of our podcasts, but I think it was in 2024, uh, we had Jason on here.
41:04.237 --> 41:10.061
[SPEAKER_00]: He was actually sitting on my futon at the time, uh, after that, that Yankee series, kind of get an insight on the Yankees, but.
41:10.601 --> 41:17.603
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be in town, some me, Jason and our buddy, one of our friends won, the trio of us we're going to be doing a bunch of games.
41:17.763 --> 41:34.728
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to the Friday night game, which is post game fireworks, which might actually stay for that one just so the parking garage isn't as busy as busy and then Saturday we're going to that one as well, but we're going to be golfing on Saturday and Sunday, so don't forget to get there at two necessarily, but I am prepared to pay the $80
41:39.469 --> 41:40.210
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited again.
41:40.250 --> 41:41.252
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be nice to see.
41:41.292 --> 41:46.961
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they won't do it, but it'd be a very nice surprise if they pull out the purple and heel pin stripes.
41:47.341 --> 41:54.252
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I think with the Nike jersey rules teams only being allowed for, I don't think we're going to get it.
41:55.213 --> 42:02.497
[SPEAKER_00]: But maybe there's a fun surprise in the store because I know all the promotional material about, you know, the Yankees come to town.
42:02.757 --> 42:07.479
[SPEAKER_00]: They've been using the old, you know, the purple and teal logo on all things.
42:07.499 --> 42:12.362
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm hoping that maybe they can surprise us and do something like that, but I think it would be very, very fitting for them coming to town.
42:12.382 --> 42:14.383
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, winner loose.
42:14.803 --> 42:17.304
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the last home series of the season.
42:17.324 --> 42:22.267
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, if you have not been to a game, if you've been wanted to go to at least one more game before you can, just do it.
42:22.887 --> 42:26.549
[SPEAKER_00]: just go ballpark even when they don't win like it's always better when they win.
42:27.029 --> 42:28.450
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still a great time to be a chase field.
42:29.311 --> 42:31.512
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be I'm hoping a great environment in general.
42:32.092 --> 42:34.794
[SPEAKER_00]: So make sure you guys go out where as much purple and seals you can.
42:35.414 --> 42:39.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Get that replica jersey on Saturday because that's going to be a phenomenal jersey to have.
42:39.656 --> 42:41.477
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll see if I can snack a second one.
42:41.497 --> 42:43.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I might try to do one as a as a giveaway for us.
42:43.318 --> 42:47.281
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm here and throw them along with the the Serbian disc low, but yeah say.
42:48.141 --> 43:10.007
[SPEAKER_00]: just go out and enjoy it because as I mentioned before in three months we're going to be in you know the the dead of winter and we're going to be like I could really go for a d-back stranding 10 runners on base here and you know sitting there with it with the loss I could really go for that right now so don't have that regret not a single letter and actually go to a d-backed game here with our final three set two start tomorrow night so
43:10.727 --> 43:20.514
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, any other, uh, final thoughts Brandon on the night, whether it's debux related not debux related fantasy football, anything else in general anything else you wanted to uh air out on the show here tonight?
43:22.015 --> 43:26.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep.
43:26.838 --> 43:27.038
[SPEAKER_00]: Heck yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Heck yeah, sweep it up.
43:27.778 --> 43:30.780
[SPEAKER_00]: Say Justin in the chat saying, can you come to one of seven and say hey to me?
43:30.820 --> 43:32.681
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, say Justin are you going to be there?
43:32.701 --> 43:33.542
[SPEAKER_00]: What they are you going to be there?
43:35.892 --> 43:40.335
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go which day because I'm going to be there on Friday and Saturday and a brand and city is going to be there Friday, Saturday too.
43:41.336 --> 43:42.277
[SPEAKER_02]: Friday is one.
43:43.277 --> 43:43.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Perfect.
43:43.558 --> 43:44.238
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll both be there.
43:44.278 --> 43:50.783
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're there, we will try to either go to that section or maybe in our discord, which you can just and if you're not in the discord, I highly recommend it.
43:51.864 --> 44:01.251
[SPEAKER_00]: But maybe in our discord, we'll post like a, hey, you know, if you guys want to come meet us, get a photo, whatever it is, you know, for I think Justin, you follow us on Instagram.
44:01.471 --> 44:02.652
[SPEAKER_02]: So, let's say,
44:05.574 --> 44:05.794
[SPEAKER_00]: Perfect.
44:05.814 --> 44:05.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
44:05.954 --> 44:10.959
[SPEAKER_00]: So because then we can do a little like, you know, meet and, you know, photo and person all that fun stuff Saturday.
44:10.979 --> 44:11.199
[SPEAKER_00]: Perfect.
44:11.239 --> 44:11.359
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
44:11.379 --> 44:12.520
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we'll get some iron out.
44:12.560 --> 44:16.103
[SPEAKER_00]: So Justin or anybody else that, you know, wants to, you know, come meet us in person.
44:27.734 --> 44:46.773
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll take the 6x4 compliment so you can come see that I'm not actually, you know, like a 5x6 short king, but either way, get out of the ballpark, come say how to us, get yourself some hot on each chicken fry, just enjoy the ballpark the vibes, hopefully we'll see us sweep and then we'll be just right back in for concessions.
44:47.533 --> 44:49.795
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, there could have been murder.
44:49.815 --> 44:59.724
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it might be one of those nights where you get everything that you can in one trip and then you just sit in your seat for the rest of the the rest of the game, because I feel like that's the best route to go.
45:00.824 --> 45:07.610
[SPEAKER_00]: But Scott, I believe our Instagram should be the same as our YouTube here just Debacks Dispatch, so make sure you go follow the ad.

45:17.356 --> 45:22.341
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to play these games anyway, so I hope we can get as much good baseball from these D-backs, because
45:23.798 --> 45:40.618
