00:00 (upbeat music)
00:03 - We continue to push it forward here.
00:04 The Orioles and the Padres match up.
00:07 This San Diego team, Donnie, I know you were hopeful for,
00:11 but it largely feels like that hope has been lost.
00:15 Though a nice performance against Baltimore last night here.
00:20 What do you think about their game tonight?
00:22 - I mean, thinking about buying out,
00:23 buying back in K double in the Padres, man,
00:25 giving me life at night.
00:26 I mean, that is a strategy that we've known in the past
00:29 that if you wanna make big money in gambling,
00:31 you just keep doubling down on teams
00:32 going in the wrong direction.
00:34 But yesterday, finally a nice performance by the Padres.
00:36 And by the way, the best pitcher on the card today
00:38 is Blake Snell, 2.90 XFIP over the past six weeks.
00:41 He has been phenomenal.
00:42 You wanna take a look at 119 batters he's faced, Kevin,
00:45 and 098 ISO power number.
00:48 Lefty's coming up against him, forget about it.
00:50 A zero ISO power number.
00:52 I look for another big time performance tonight
00:53 by Blake Snell in the mat,
00:54 which means the Padres will win again
00:56 against the Baltimore Orioles hanging around.
00:59 Not really, but every time they win,
01:01 I sort of perk up a little bit,
01:02 but knowing that eventually the bottom
01:04 will fall out of the San Diego Padres.
01:06 They haven't had it all year long.
01:07 I don't expect them to catch lightning in a bottle,
01:09 but it would be nice just to give me
01:11 a little bit of hope, Kevin.
01:12 Midway through September,
01:13 two, three games back of the wild card.
01:14 Give me some hope here that I can watch playoff baseball
01:17 for the Padres and maybe turn a profit.
01:19 I'm just not getting all that hyped about it yet.
01:22 - I think the frustrating thing is I just mentioned
01:24 the awful records for both the Reds and the Diamondbacks,
01:28 three and 10 since the break.
01:30 You need San Diego to make more inroads
01:32 against those teams there.
01:34 And by the way, those aren't the teams
01:35 even in that final spot.
01:36 In front of them are still the Chicago Cubs
01:38 and then the Marlins who hold onto that spot there.
