Padres vs Rockies Postgame Wrap Up Show: Rockies 4 Padres 2

Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Uh, okay. As you could see, John is not here tonight. John is uh in Palm Springs, so it’s a solo wrap-up show tonight. I know some of you out there may be like, “Oh, I can’t believe it. Just gym tonight. What the hell?” Here’s the thing. With no John, as Iron Swan says in the chat, it is a fully uncensored gym tonight for the wrap-up show. So, make your way in. Uh if you haven’t already, hit that subscribe button, hit that like button. We’re trying to get to 10,000 subscribers here uh before the postseason. Hopefully, if they make the postseason. Um I’m I’m being facicious. I’m kidding. But yeah, hit that like button, hit that subscribe button. We’re trying to get to 10K before the postseason and hopefully it’s a long postseason, but as of right now, doesn’t feel like it will be one. It feels like it’s going to be a very quick in-n-out uh come October, wherever the Padres’s and whoever the Padres’s play in October. for Padres’s lose tonight 4-2 to the worst team in the history of the sport. And I’m not joking. The Padre, the Rockies are going to end up being the worst team in the history of baseball. So again, make your way in. We’ll be here for the next hour or so. We’ll get to all your super chats as well. We’ll also get to some comments in the uh in the chat tonight. So um thank you guys for joining me. But look, it’s same old song and dance. And by the way, we are keeping an eye on the Dodgers Giants game. That’s why I started just a little late tonight. I wanted to see what was going to happen in the Dodgers Giants game up in the Bay Area. Giants had the bases loaded and one out and they hit into a double play. I don’t know how they hit in a double play, but from the reaction I’m seeing on social media, it was like an insane double play to end the bottom of the ninth inning. And at this point in time, you’re you’re asking for the Giants to come back here. Um, not really come back, it’s tied as they’re going to extra innings. you’re asking the Giants to beat the Dodgers because that right now is the only way that you are staying mathematically in the division race is because the Dodgers also suck as well. They are handing you on a silver platter opportunities left and right to overtake them in in the division and you’re not taking it. So, we’ll see what happens in that Giants uh Dodgers game. It’s tied 1-1 in the uh Are we in the bottom of the tenth? We’re in the bottom of the tenth. Yeah, we’re tied uh 1-1 in the bottom of the 10th inning. So, Giants could walk this thing off here. If the Giants walk this thing off, then you know, look, you’re saved by the Dodgers awful play. Um so, we we’ll talk about that game once it goes final and uh we will look at the standings after that. But tonight is pathetic. Pathetic. Pathetic. There’s really there’s really no other word to to to describe this team right now offensively especially is they are pathetic. Um the offense is a complete joke. Uh, I know Mike Schultz is, you know, putting lipstick on this pig left and right and he is the most toxic posit positive person on the planet. Um, but this is this is bad baseball. Just bad baseball. You can’t tell me that Fernando Tatis Jr. and his Golden Sombrero tonight is him taking good at bats. Sorry. Just awful at bats. You had nobody on the Padres’s get into scoring position until the seventh inning tonight. What? The guy you’re facing has a six RA. Last time you faced him in Colorado, he scored six runs off him in three and two third innings. And tonight, you made the dude look like uh, you know, prime Greg Maddox. This team is soft right now. this team uh I’m this team on this team has no heart right now. They are giving up at bats. They look lethargic. They look like they’ve given up. Um you know Mike Schultz saying tonight that they care so much. I agree, Mike. They care, but their at bats don’t look like they give a [ __ ] Their at bats look [ __ ] pathetic. I I mean, you’re facing the Rockies. The Rockies are the worst team in the history of the sport. They’re 41 and 107. 41 and 107. What? And you go out there and you put that performance together tonight. Uh, I I just think that this team right now is being saved by the the awful play of the Dodgers. If not for the Dodgers just completely just going into the tank and they might lose right here to the Giants in the bottom of the 10th inning. I mean, get ready for Chicago, boys. Get ready for Chicago. That is the likeliest, I feel like, scenario right now. um the division. I can’t even like think of of the of the division, even though they’re only going to be potentially two games back if the Giants pull off this win right here. And before we talk anything about the Giants, I’m not worried about the Giants catching you, unless they rip off like seven in a row here. I I just I’m not worried about the Giants. What I am worried about is how this team is playing heading into a postseason. Um, what I am worried about is this offense and the problems that this offense have faced throughout the entire year being the reason why they get bounced in the postseason because right now, what have you seen from this Padres’s team offensively that gives you hope that they’re just gonna that they’re just going to turn it around in the postseason? Like at some point, you know, the facts are the facts and this team is who they are. Like they’re not changing. They’re not changing. So, what do they need to do to get better? Like, that’s the million-dollar question. What do they need to do on offense to be better? I think what, you know, it starts with is their their stars. You know, Manny had a a good night, but they lost the game. Can he continue? Can he get better? Can he continue to produce down the stretch? You know, if Manny goes back and and continues to slump, this home run tonight means [ __ ] absolutely nothing. Nothing means nothing. So, the only way that Tati uh excuse me, Machado’s home run tonight means anything is if it turns into Manny Machado getting hot. That’s it. Cuz they lost the game. So, I don’t give a [ __ ] Um Fernando Tatis Jr., he’s all over the map. You know, the four strikeouts tonight, those were some of the worst at bats I’ve seen of Tatis all year long. the strikeouts that he had tonight just completely non-competitive competitive at bats. And here’s the thing, I know all you Padres’s fans are pissed. Like, you deserve better than this. You deserve better than the broadcast just laughing their ass off in the seventh and eighth inning when the team is trailing to the 107 loss Rockies. You deserve better than a manager who is completely unaware of how his team is playing according to his words. You are you deserve better than a team and an offense with players that are combined making a billion dollars going out there and scoring two runs a game against the [ __ ] Rockies. You deserve better than a team turning into like the 1917 uh White Socks where they just bunt their way around the bases. You know, you deserve you deserve better than JP Sears. [ __ ] is that JP Sears? He did pitch well for the first couple innings, but uh Hey, Shilty, did you see the the two pitches they got absolutely pissed on that cost you the game? Cuz I did. Everybody watching me in the chat did. He didn’t pitch well. He gave up four runs and you lost the game. He gave up backtoback homers on two straight pitches. He gave up a three-run homer to a guy that like just got called up. You guys deserve better than this [ __ ] What’s going on in the Giants Dodger game? So, runners at first and third, one out by the 10th inning. All right, we’ll keep you updated on that. So yeah, I mean, look, it this team is uh is is definitely struggling to the full extent tonight. Uh especially on offense. Like I can’t I I I I don’t think JP Sears particularly pitched great tonight other than the first couple innings because look, you’re a starter in the big leagues. All right, you need to go longer and be more effective past three innings. It’s pretty simple. Either you’re going to be a starter in this league or you’re going to be put in the bullpen. And if you’re a starter, you can’t just look good for three innings and then completely collapse second time through the order because that’s what JP Sears is. First time through the order, great. Second time through the order, dog [ __ ] like complete [ __ ] ass. And it showed again tonight. Gave up those four runs there in the in and just, you know, in the in the fourth inning and that was it. That’s the game. It’s the game. So, it’s already looking like, you know, you have to take the next two games. There’s there’s no ifs, ands, or buts. I I said this and me and John talked about this, the fact that um thinking about just taking three or four from the Rockies, that one game is just going to really piss you off. And if it’s not a sweep and the Giants just hit a walk-off grand slam, so they help you out tonight. Giants just hit a walk-off grand slam if I’m not if I’m not mistaken here. Wow. Walk-off grand slam. So you are your ass is being saved by everybody else that are playing the Dodgers right now. But even then, the Division to me, I know they’re two back, but it feels so far out of reach, doesn’t it? Like, doesn’t the division feel just completely out of reach right now, even though they’re only two games back? That’s what it feels like to me. It feels like the likeliest scenario for this team is going to Chicago. They’re going to be the five seed and that’s that. Unless the Dodgers just collapse. But here’s the thing. And the Padres’s are collapsing, too. And you have to outplay the Dodgers by three games. You can’t beat the Rockies. Like the the walk-off grand slam does help tonight for the for the Padres’s. That’s the only positive thing that you could take from tonight is that you didn’t lose any ground on the Dodgers. But at the same time, you still have to outplay the Dodgers by four games. You have to outplay them by four games. because you are three back in the loss and you need to outplay them because they have the tiebreaker. We all know that man just a insane finish to this season. And I don’t mean like insane good. I mean insane this is painful to watch. Um all right, let’s get to some super chats tonight. Again, if you want to send in a super chat to have your message be read, uh greatly appreciated. Send in your super chat. We’ll also get some chats here. uh in the show as well. It’s a little difficult with me doing going going solo to see everybody’s chat. Um so the best way to get your chat read is is to uh send in a super chat. Again, they’re greatly appreciated to help out the channel, help out me and John. All right, first of one of the night misfit 13 actual says, “I was at the game. Uh the booing was the loudest I’ve ever heard and then the mass exodus happened. Shilt is horrendous and managed like it’s 1910. Shield owes everyone a refund after swapping CE out. Well, CE didn’t pitch tonight. Swapping Oh. Oh, I get it. Moving everybody back and putting JP Sears. You’re right. Swapping Cease out tonight to give everybody an extra day rest. Yeah, that was a concern that you move everybody back and then you give JP Sears a start. But my counter to that is if you can’t beat the [ __ ] Rockies with anybody on the mound, that’s on you. That’s on the team. And they should have beat this team tonight easily. You’re facing a dude with a six RA. You faced a guy last night with a 13 RA and you put up back-to-back nights of two runs. What? You went 0 for last night with runners in scoring position tonight? An abysmal 0 for seven or I think they they might have had a hit last night with runners in scoring position. I’m not sure. But still, the the their offense as a team right now with runners in scoring position is a [ __ ] joke. And again, these losses, they should have been buried in the division. like absolutely buried to the point where I’m not even like looking at the division standings. I’m only looking at the wild card standings. But because the Dodgers suck right now and they’re playing like ass, there’s this sense of false hope I feel like with the Padres’s and fans that the division’s still in play. That might just be me, that false sense of hope, but like don’t you guys feel that a little bit? It’s like, like I said, it’s like watching a football game and one team’s dominating. And I’m not saying the Dodgers are dominating, but they have dominated you. So, in that sense, it kind of makes sense. But it’s like watching a football game and one team has put up like 450 yards. Uh, and they’re up, you know, 3120. But the reason why they’re up 3120 is because they had a a kick return for a touchdown and you know whatever, but the game’s not even doesn’t even feel even close and we’re getting to the point where like you’re up 3120, but there’s like 220 left to play in the game. That’s what it feels like. This is false hope of like, oh, maybe they could do something like a miracle. What? It’s closer than it seems. Whatever. It does not feel that way. Thanks for the super chat. Appreciate it. Uh, let’s go to uh Brian. Thanks for the super chat. It says, “Not game related, but uh neat hearing about your fire station visit. Uh, my dad’s a captain at that station and I’m a firefighter in uh the PNW myself. Uh, he was off today, but we’re both glad you guys had a great time.” That’s awesome, dude. Yeah, we went to uh the fire station in Myiar, Station 61. Um, listener Nick of our show, John and Jim, we were doing a contest this week. Um, if you were listening, we uh we were doing a contest that was sponsored by Sombrero where uh on our talkback mic feature on the iHeart Radio app. Um, all you had to do was just send in your name and where you worked and you were eligible to win uh some lunch with myself and John and uh Nick from the Myiar Fire Station, Station 61 in Myiar. um he was randomly selected as the winner and we got to go and uh check out the fire station and uh ride the fire truck and become junior firefighters. I’m actually wearing the shirt that was given to us um by the captain. So yeah, that’s awesome, man. That’s cool. Tell tell uh tell your dad tell your dad thank you. Tell your dad thank you and uh we appreciate it. That’s awesome. Um all right, some more super chats here. Uh, Golden King Toys, thanks for thanks for the super chat, buddy. I never thought to say this, but I miss Bogey. Yeah, I I don’t I don’t I don’t miss Bogey. He’s just very forgettable to me. Like, he’s just a very forgettable player. He’s not very impactful. And And the one thing that you’re seeing um is what he’s impacting is is this lineup. and Mike Schil, his brain is in a pretzel to try to figure out a lineup. Now, I think he’s figured out a pretty consistent lineup going forward and so Bogarts is back, but it took him a while. He’s just he he refused to go down that path immediately and maybe it cost him. I don’t know. But yeah, I the one thing is it’s put Mike Schultz brain in a pickle or a pretzel or whatever you want to call it. Um, the thing with Bogarts though is when he returns, is everything going to be just different? I mean, it’s not like Bogarts was playing well anyway before he got injured. He reverted back to who he’s been with the Padres’s, which is just like a middling average player at best. That doesn’t come up in clutch moments. So, do I miss that Bogarts? Like, no, I don’t actually. I missed the Bogarts that we saw in that month stretch when he uh had that game time double in LA and then he proceeded to be redot for about a month and a half or so. But I mean, the Xander that went on the IIL, that guy stinks. He’s kind of just average. I don’t want that Xander. I want the other Xander. But that probably is asking too much to be honest with you. Um Jeff, thank you buddy. Thanks for the super chat. Appreciate it. Um, games like this makes me consider being a hockey fan. Well, you could be a hockey fan and still be a Padres’s fan. I thought you were going to say there as I was reading that that’s going to make you turn into another fan of another team. I was like, whoa, slow down there, buddy. And plus, hockeyy’s not even on during baseball season. But I get your point. I get your point. Watching this team will, if you, you know, Padres’s fans watching this team, I get it. makes you want to pull your hair out and just not watch baseball. It’s It’s very It seems very frustrating to watch. Uh Iron Sticks, appreciate it, buddy. Uh he says, “We are the San Diego Padres’s. What do we expect? We are self-sabotaging children.” Yeah, I mean, the history of this franchise is not a good one. In fact, I would argue it’s awful. It’s one of the worst histories of a franchise in professional sports. Maybe that’s the bridge too far. Probably is because the Browns exist in football. But in baseball, absolutely. They’re one of the worst uh as far as history goes. Have one of the worst histories in in is for a team in uh in all baseball. I I it’s a it’s a fact. There’s no way around it. I mean, no one likes saying that, like, especially me. I don’t like saying that as I cover this team to say that this team, the history of it is awful, but it it’s true. Um, Dylan, thanks for the super chat, buddy. Appreciate it. Uh, one for our last 26 with runners in scoring position. Uh, but who needs clutch hits when we’re first in productive out percentage? Oh my gosh, you are absolutely absolutely right about that, Dylan. I did see that uh tweet today. The Padres’s lead baseball in productive outs. Great. Give me another stat that just I could I will just bang my head against the wall with. And that’s a pro that’s a that’s a product of design. Like that is who they want to be. That’s the that’s the problem. The problem with the unproductive out [ __ ] They chose this collectively. They chose to be the team in baseball that leads baseball in productive outs. This this this didn’t happen by happen stance. All the bunts, all the sack bunts trying for just a run instead of the big inning, they chose as a team collectively to lead the league in productive outs. And I I do think because of that, this is why the offense is where it’s where it is. They regressed in such a massive way from last year’s team to where we are now because of the mindset set by the manager to turn this team into a productive out team. That’s not the way baseball is anymore. Sorry, it’s not. You can you can try to win with with leading the league in productive outs and moving guys station to station, but what happens when you run into a team like the Phillies who [ __ ] mash and have a dude in Kyle Schwarber that will take you deep? You’re so like productive outs is not going to save you against a team that hits a bunch of home runs in the postseason especially. Sorry. Um, thank you Misfit 13 for becoming a member. Appreciate it. Yeah, guys, if you want to become a member, um, become a member of the channel. You get emojis. Uh, we do watch parties. Um, you get priorities, so become a member of this channel. Um, and we appreciate that. Uh, as well, let’s get to some more super chats here. Uh, Martin Mayfield, thanks, buddy, for the super. No buns tonight. Two-hitter through seven against the worst team. Awesome. They That’s actually wrong, Martin. They did have um Freddy Fine lay down a bunt with nobody on there and I believe the seventh inning which was or the seventh or eighth inning which was very productive just very productive uh at bat there from Freddy Fine laying down that bunt. Um they also had Will Wagner potentially um one of the worst hitters in baseball tonight after an 01 count. runners on uh first and second with nobody out try to lay down a bunt that was unsuccessful. Um so they actually tried tonight. They tried to bunt their way to a victory and you know what it didn’t work out. In fact, it was the opposite of work working out. It uh yeah it they suck right now. Um Dave, thanks for the super chat, buddy. Says uh maybe Schult should quit re-watching Ted Lasso. cares more about being liked than winning. Bunting with two on while down three is sheer malpractice. I agree. I’m over it. Fire this uh charlatan. I’m not I can’t read. Sorry. Bridge too far. Not going to say fire Mike Schult. Not yet. But I can I can pretty confidently say that Mike Schultz’s act is wearing thin with a lot of people. And a lot of people in that organization in that organization, I know there are people in it that um roll their eyes at Mike Schult and his act is already getting tired. you know, the the more we hear from Mike Schultton and the more we see from Mike Schult, um, it it’s it’s becoming more clearer why he was let go in St. Louis. You know, he’s very thin skinned. He’s combative with easy, simple questions. And this is not because of the media aspect. I I do think there are things that Mike pushes back on um that make him just kind of insufferable to work with at times. Um and I I don’t think it’s it’s necessarily an act with the media. I think that’s just who he is. And he takes that into the clubhouse and he takes that to the front office. He takes that to um behind closed doors. And I I I know the team says they love him and they probably do, but I also know there are times when Mike Schult is uh speaking that uh eyes are being rolled. I I just I I just know that. Um RH thanks to the super says uh this team is backing into the playoffs at best. Well, I don’t think they’re backing in. Um the lineup is a dysfunctional mess. I don’t see Cardinals missing missing Schult. Uh they had a gone party, a going away party. Well, I mean the Cardinals I I think they might miss Mike Schill from the standpoint of like they’re not in the postseason. Mike Shield did a good job to get to the postseason, but you know, I I don’t know. I We’ll see what happens in the postseason. Mike Schult can go in the postseason and make every right move and they go on to win a World Series and then he becomes a legend and nothing bad will ever be said about Mike Schult and he’ll get like a statue and and whatever it is. You know what I’m saying? Like that could happen, but or he could, you know, make a wrong move again and um you know, the team could choke and he could, you know, I don’t know. like and then it’s like what the [ __ ] is Mike Schult? So, look, I don’t I I don’t think he’s uh going to go anywhere anytime soon. And as far as like the backing into the postseason goes, um look, they’re five up on a Well, actually, what are they where are they right now? Because the Giants just won. So, they’re four and a half up on a playoff spot. Four and a half up. Look, if they continue to keep losing, you’re right. then we got a problem. As of right now, I just I just can’t I just I still I still even though they’re playing like [ __ ] I still can’t bring myself to think that there’s a world where they missed the postseason. Look, they missed the postseason. I want to say just like clean house, but I I also don’t want to say that because I’m I I can’t sit here and say that AJ Pller didn’t do his job. Now, did has he had a success rate like he had last year with moves? No. I think the Freddy Fine move, I don’t know if that’s an upgrade. I I I don’t I I mean, okay, you know what? Yeah, you’re it is an upgrade, but how it’s like we’re talking about baby step upgrade, and it hasn’t worked out. Um, you know, you traded away your number one prospect, probably the the best prospect in baseball for Mason Miller. Mason Miller has been fantastic. Raone Lauron has been good, even though he’s now slumping himself. and Ryan O’Re Hearn, he’s now kind of slumping himself. Struck out to end this game tonight. I just I I put more of this on the players than I do anything else. To me, the players are the ones that deserve the most blame. And then Mike Schil follows. But if I’m putting the pecking order right now of of of blame for where this team is at, how they’re playing, number one, it’s the players. Number two, it’s the players. Number three, it’s Mike Schil. Number four, AJ Prowler. Like, that’s where I stand with their struggles. You know, when Manny goes over for the home stand, whose fault is that? Is that Manny’s fault or is that Mike Schultz’s fault? I mean, you can blame Mike Schill for not sitting Manny for a day, but if they don’t sit man if they sit Manny today, they get shut out. Now, I’m saying it doesn’t matter. Like, the home run tonight for him didn’t matter in the end, but maybe it got him going. I don’t know TBD. Like, we’re going to have to see it. Again, I I can’t sit here and get all super excited about Manny having two hits tonight. if he after tonight’s game doesn’t do anything like you have to use tonight as a night where you start playing better and over the last 14 games you hit 350 like that’s where that’s how tonight matters if that doesn’t happen and Manny hits around 230 for the rest of the year or whatever which would actually be really good for him compared to what he’s done the last you know month or But that doesn’t that doesn’t do it for me. It just doesn’t. Um, we’ll get to Mark Nimmits here in a second, but one more super chat here. I can’t even read that. I am so sorry. MLB the show, but thanks for the super chat. Says, uh, Will Wagner is the new Trend Brooks. Yeah. Yeah. Will Wagner is the new Trend Brooks. And he actually might be worse than Tren Brooks. I I mean that at bat tonight, he had no shot. No shot at all. He grinded into a double play. The one thing he couldn’t do, you almost you rather you would have rather had him strike out in that situation than hitting a double play. Like the one thing he couldn’t do, he did. And yeah, they they that’s where they miss Bogarts. You’re right. I they you know back to a couple super chats ago like that’s where they miss Bogarts is you’re putting [ __ ] Will Wagner into crucial moments of the game pinch hitting him with two on and nobody out and the [ __ ] hits into a double play like give me a break Wagner give me a break. Um, all right. Let’s get to our title sponsor here, Mark Nimmitz. I behind the scenes, I I can’t pull up Mark Nimtt, so you’re just going to have to deal with me for a second here. Mark Nimttz, if you have any insurance needs, Mark is your guy. Homeowners, renters insurance, uh, car insurance, Mark Nimttz has you covered. All you got to do is look at the ticker down here, scrolling. His name, number, and email address are all down there. If you contact Mark Nimttz, he has your back for insurance of any kind that you need with car insurance, life insurance, renters’s insurance, whatever. Actually, I don’t know if he has life insurance. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. Anyway, he’s got you covered for all your insurance needs. Hit up Mark Nimtts, mimits of farmersagent.com. When you reach out to Mark, let him know that John and Jim the wrap-up show sent you. Um, all right, let’s get to some more super chats here. And again, once once again, guys, uh appreciate you joining me tonight. It’s a solo show. John is uh he’s in Palm Springs tonight because they have a by-week this week for uh the Aztecs. So, usually a by-week means that him, his wife, and Jones head to Palm Springs. So, uh just a solo show tonight. I’ll try to get to as many of your chats as possible. Right now, I’m just trying to get through all of our super chats here. Um and then we’ll get to some chats maybe later in the show. Again, Padres’s lose uh 4-2. Their offense looks like dog [ __ ] once again. Um Dodgers lose, so that’s a good thing, but still it doesn’t do you any good if you continue to lose games. Uh and don’t take advantage of the Dodgers also sucking. Giants now half game back of a playoff spot, which is crazy. Um you’re four and a half up on them. All right, Misfit, thank you for the generous super. Um, I’ll never let the Wagner move to pinch it. Oh, sorry. I’ll never get the Wagner move to pinch hit. And after this, uh, I’m going over to Dodgers channels to watch the meltdowns. Lol. Love the show. You guys actually show emotion, unlike this team, uh, and aren’t shills. Appreciate it. Yeah, I I am not a shill. I can tell you that. Um, I cover this team for a living. Um, I I root for their success because their success means our success. Um, I want the fan base to experience winning. I want the fan base to experience what it feels like to win a World Series. Um, and yeah, keeping the finger on the pulse and understanding that like right now is not a time to wave pom poms. Right now is not a time to tell the fans everything’s going to be okay. While it might be okay, right now is a time to talk about what has happened in the here and now. And the here and now is this team offensively is dog [ __ ] Like end of discussion. If anybody tells you differently, they are homers, they are shills or they work for the team. Like pretty simple. Um, so yeah, but uh if you want to go watch Dodger fans meltdown, go go go ahead. Um, I’m sure there are a lot in our chat as well tonight, but you know, they lost, so they’re probably not going to be trolling as much. Um, except for Richard. Richard is a loyal uh viewer of the wrap-up show. He is a Dodger fan, but he is a um good Dodger fan. And uh I don’t I don’t say that lightly. I I don’t I do not. Richard. Um, Richard’s a good uh he’s a good egg. Um, thanks for the super chat, buddy. Appreciate it. As I watch Tanner Scott [ __ ] the bed. Uh, did Tanner Scott give up the Grand Slam? I I did Did Tanner Scott give up the Grand Slam? No, that was Trinan, wasn’t it? No. Wait, who gave the It was Tanner Scott gave up the [ __ ] grand slam. Holy [ __ ] That guy [ __ ] sucks. He’s got a five RA for the Dodgers. Look, you know, the the I say the the reason why the Padres’s if they don’t win the World Series will be because their offense, I’m confident in saying the reason why the Dodgers won’t win the World Series if they don’t will be will be because of their bullpen. Like, no doubt about it. Their bullpen will cost them in the postseason just like vice versa. I think the Padres’s offense could cost them in the postseason as well. Um, but let me get back to Super says, “As I watched Tanner Scott [ __ ] the bed, uh, small ball gets you nowhere. Takes abs away and after all of that wasted energy, Cubs go yard on one swing.” Exactly. Yeah. The game of baseball now is not a game that most teams want to play. That’s the small ball way. You know, there are moments where you bunt guys over. Yes, I’m not saying to never bunt. And there are moments where uh bunts can be effective, right, with the position positioning of the defense, guys playing deep at third, and you’re a fast runner and you lay down a bunt to the third baseman. Yeah, those things happen throughout the course of a season. But what the problem with the Padres’s is is it feels like that’s their default go-to that in time of needs they they just are like we got a bunt like huh and they don’t have the ability to have one swing change the game. I can’t remember the last time one they had a moment where they was like oh one swing changed the game. Now, I think they did one s one time in like uh Seattle recently, but and they have over the course of a season, you’re you know, but I’m talking like like recently. When’s the last time they had a moment where it’s like boom, one swing in the bat? I I mean, they’ve hit more home runs of late, but they’re just not consistent. They are looking to play small ball, and it’s annoying as [ __ ] Um, all right. Hold on a second, guys. Here, we’ll get to some more of your chats here in a moment.

Uh G-Rock80, appreciate it. Uh says, uh I’m late to the show. Vent mode, Colorado BP ranked 30th. Oh, bullpen, excuse me. Yep, they’re ranked 30th. Uh how pathetic is this lineup? Can’t make a comeback. Also, uh dude, the hit three-run homer was betting 077. Embarrassing. Yeah, it’s flat out embarrassing. When you lose games, sucks. But when you lose games to aa team, that’s even worse. I mean, the Rockies are a AAA team. You lost to a AAA team tonight. Think about that. In your home ballpark, you lost to a AAA team. And if you beat the AAA team, you’re a game back in the division because the Giants beat the Dodgers. It was just a bad I just awful night. I mean, the bullpen those the the Rockies bullpen is is horrific and the Padres’s could do nothing against them. SC scored one measly run on a RBI ground out in the ninth inning. Just you’re right, absolutely embarrassing and pathetic. Um, all right guys, getting through some super chats here. Again, if you want to send in a super chat, super chats are open. We’ll get to those super chats. We’ll get to uh all of those comments. And right now, I just want to scan through. If anybody has a question, by the way, if you don’t want to send in a super chat, I’ll answer those questions right now. like put it if you have a question in the chat and just put it in the chat and I’ll try to get to as many as I possibly can. Um a little difficult without John tonight just because I’m I’m you know doing a show and it’s hard to concentrate in the chat but I appreciate you all out there for joining me. I know it’s a tough night. I know most of you guys are just like [ __ ] it. I don’t even want to talk Padres’s baseball right now. Like this is ridiculous. I get it. Sometimes you just need a break. Just like uh it’s the worst. Um, all right. Is it I guess this is turning into Ask Jim anything. Uh, Faulty Spork says, “What’s your newest Pokemon card?” Well, if you see behind me, I do have a Pokemon card up there. It’s kind of hard to see. It’s not really new, though. I just have I just didn’t have anywhere to put it. Um, I’ll go nerd mode for just a second here. I’m trying to master set a certain Pokemon set. I know people are like going to tune out. I get it. But I’m just answering a question here and I’m trying to do a Pokemon set called uh 151. So recent, not recently, but this summer I got this card right here, which is ballooned in price. It’s a Charizard. I got that over the summer for like 140 bucks. I know I’m an idiot, but now it’s worth like 500. So, there you go. Um, let’s see here. Plans for the weekend. Do nothing. Like, do less than nothing. Do all the boring [ __ ] Laundry. Uh, grocery shopping. Clean the house. Take Bentley on a walk. Uh, hang out with my wife. It’s not hanging out with her is not boring, but yeah, we got nothing. I don’t think I’m doing anything. Yeah. Um, James, can we beat TBD tomorrow? Potentially. TBD’s had a really good year. I’m scared of his fast ball. Um, Ballpark Cretzel, San Francisco 49ers injuries. I don’t want to talk about that. Um, let’s see here. Chad, thank you. says, “Can we swap Will Wagner for Bla Crim tonight for the rest of the year? At least he can hit the ball over the fence.” Um, that was a good at bat just because the ball was like literally put on a tea for Crim. They both stink. And by stink, I mean they’re AAA players. Nothing against the guys. Do I like M. Jones? We’ll find out Sunday. Um, Mew. What? I do have a Mew. Um, which I just bought. No. Oh, this card right here. It’s uh it’s an Alakazam. It’s PSA 9, but PSA 10s are crazy right now. But yeah, PSA 9 Alazam. Um, how many Psyduck do I have? I just have one. No, I have two. I have two. I have the sir Psyduck and then the regular Psyduck. Um, M. Jones is the 49ers backup. Do I play fantasy crop at all? No, I do not. I do not. Uh, let’s get to a super chat here. Rocket skates, thanks for the super chat. Appreciate it. Says, uh, Sears was kind of cooking tonight though. Ro Roman mistake. Look, you’re not wrong, Rocket Skates. You’re you’re not wrong that he was kind of cooking tonight, but when you’re a starter in this league, you can’t have a seven erra second time through the order and give up 17 home runs if you expect to stay a starter. That’s the problem with Sears. Great through the first time of the order. Second time of the order, awful. So, yeah, he was kind of cooking tonight, but again, his his final lines, four and a third, four on runs, two homers, gave up a three-run homer. Yeah, he struck out eight, but I mean, if you want to stay in the big leagues for a long time as a starting pitcher, you got to get through the order more than once. Um, yeah. Uh, let’s get to some more chats here. Let’s get to, uh, you think this can get any worse before it gets better? Look, man, it always can get worse. Like, that’s the thing. And I don’t even want to say like what things that could potentially happen which would make it worse because I don’t want to put that out there. But like it always can get worse. That’s the thing. It always can get worse. Um, Ballpark Pretzel, have you bought your Survivor Series tickets yet? Here’s the thing, Ballpark. I’m probably going to be going home for Thanksgiving and Survivor Series is on Saturday, uh, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. So, I’m probably not even going to be in town for that. I trust me, I I would love to go to Survivor Series. Um, but also the tickets are kind of outrageous. Like to the point where I’d be dropping like I mean I would go and then Aaron would come. I wouldn’t go I wouldn’t want to go by myself. Yeah. Yeah, I mean these the tickets for WWE events are literally insane. TKO is pricing out the fan base and it’s pretty ridiculous. And I think the direction of of this year other than John Cena like I don’t know. Um Yep. No excuses. I agree. Um thank you. Where are you at productions? Do you see anyone anyone in the minors that you think can help other than Will Wagner? His name is Luis Campisano, but they have black ballalled him from the big leagues. Um, I baroll Cologne. Yeah, he’s got more home runs in that ballpark than a lot of Padres’s players. Um, is Will Wagner just uh basically Trent Brooks? Yeah, pretty much. Um, can you put in a good word with Annie? She’s my celebrity crush. I mean, maybe I don’t really talk to Annie about those things, but maybe hit her up. Slide in her dim slide in her DMs. Sorry, Annie. Um, Gunther, where’s John? I can’t take your negativity, Jimmy. Oh, like John wouldn’t be the same way tonight. I like like like like John would be like Mike Schil tonight is in Palm Springs tonight. This is his bye-week for Aztec football. So he is uh in Palm Springs with Kristen and Jones. Uh yo Jim on a happier note, you a boxing fan? You got Canelo or Crawford? I’m not a boxing fan. Like I I’m not I I just can’t get into it. I mean, I can get into UFC a little bit, but half the time I don’t even know who’s fighting something. I’m like, who? So, unfortunately, I’m not. Um, see here. Yep. That’s cool. Going to Survivor Series. It’s awesome. I wish I I wish I was going, but again, like I said, I’m probably going to be home for uh for Thanksgiving. Uh Gunther, what do you want to hear? Uh I don’t know. Uh John his last pay-per-view. Yep, that is. Um yeah, yep, yep. Can’t see. Can’t believe resting starters when they only pitched three innings over the last few weeks. Yeah, look, I the whole moving starters back a day thing. I get it. And it’s against the Rockies. It’s not like they put out JP Sears tonight against the Dodgers or the Brewers or the Mets or, you know, uh the Phillies. Like, you got to be able to beat the Rockies. They’re aa team. If JP Sears can’t go out there and give you five quality innings, that’s on JP Sears, man. I don’t I don’t fault them for moving back um their starters a day. I really don’t. Oh, and by the way, it’s also on their offense. More importantly, their offense is the problem with tonight’s loss. 100%. Their offense is the reason why they’ve lost the games they have had in the last couple weeks. They are the problem right now. It’s all on them. They are carrying the burden of why this team is struggling and where they are in the standings. It is their fault. Fernando Tatis Jr., Luis Arise, Manny Machado, Ryan O’Harn. Uh Jake’s Jake’s been fine. I can’t really put Merryill there. Nah, [ __ ] it. They’re all to blame. All of them. Every single one of them. Raone Lauriano, Jackson Merrill, uh, everybody. Blame I’m blaming everybody. No one gets a pass here. Gavin Sheets, no one gets a pass. It’s all their fault for where they’re at right now and how they’re playing offensively. All their fault. Um, uh, let’s see here. Yeah, they broke the Rockies scoreless streak for the closer. Awesome. Still lost. Um, let’s see here. Get some more of these. Did I get any cool cards at the West Coast Card Show? I did. I did. I They’re over there in my binder. I don’t really want to go like card talk too much tonight and show every do all the card stuff. I mean, if if John was here maybe, but like yeah, I got um what did I get? I got I got like seven cards. Um I got like a Mew promo. I got a Snorlax promo. I got a uh Charmander, Squirtle, SIR, and uh picked some picked up some other stuff stuff as well. Um, thank you for the super chat, Rocket Skates. Appreciate it. Uh, are you going to Oh [ __ ] Da d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d da de lo deaf tones. No, I will not. I mean, the fact that the fact that Jose Glaciius, who has a OPS in the 500s, is putting on a concert at Petco Park at Gallagher Square at the end of September, right before the postseason, and the team is playing like [ __ ] And more specifically, he’s playing like [ __ ] and he’s not had a good year. What? Like there should be a rule that you can’t put on a concert if you’re a player on a team unless you have like a 290 batting average minimum and that you at least qualify. You can’t like have 10 at bats and be three for 10. I mean like you gotta like like hey I’m like five at bats from qualifying or something or like hey I’ve started every game this year and I’m hitting 280. You can’t have an OPS in five in the 500s and be serious about putting on a concert at Petco Park. Like that is the most cringe thing possible. I’m sorry. It just is. Um yeah. No, I’m not going to L Glaciius concert. No chance. Um yeah, exactly. Blame everybody. Yeah, look, this is this is a team game. It’s a team game as it is in every sport. And there are players that we hold to a higher standard for sure, like Manny Machado. And when things go bad, they get more of the blame than everybody else. But that still doesn’t excuse everybody in the team from blame. You know, Manny at the end of this year, if they don’t get to where they want to get to, and if they don’t win a World Series or have a deep run in the postseason, the blame will be on Manny first. you know, other guys in that lineup, especially if May doesn’t produce. Other guys in the lineup, if they don’t produce and May doesn’t produce as well, the first person we’re talking about is Manny Machado. I’m not sitting here after a postseason game if they lose and being like, I can’t believe Freddy Fer went 0 for four tonight. That’s just how it works in professional sports. You know what happens in in the NFL? Who gets the most blame for when the team loses? The quarterback all the time, right? Who gets the most blame in the NBA when teams lose? The star players all the time. That’s just that’s that’s what that’s how the sport works. How that’s how sports works. Um I know Sheets has been clutch, but again, like I said, it’s hard for me to just be like, “Yeah, Sheets is great and the team scored two runs tonight.” Like, I don’t know. Uh I am excited about Marvel Zombies. Can’t wait for that. Yep. Squirtle. Yep. It’s a sweet card, man. I like that card a lot. Your favorite sixth Power Ranger? Green Ranger. My My favorite Power Ranger was the White Ranger. I I was the Red Ranger for a long time, but then when Tommy became the White Ranger, love White Ranger was like, I got to be the White Ranger. Had to be. Um, do I get do we get more viewers on this channel or on the iHeart Radio broadcast? Honestly, we get more on this because we can it’s just we have more view we have more um subscribers on this channel but there are times we get you know not even amount of views like this channel we get a good amount but I mean our John and Jim channel we get we get a good amount of views on that. Um, if you talk about the radio side, I mean, look, ratings, you know, you can have, you know, whoever else, whoever whoever you want talk to you about how ratings work, but, um, I’ll just say ratings, the they’re they’re fake. Like, they they can be cooked, they can be manipulated. Um, you can go out and you can find people to help your ratings out. Um, which is what happens. And um you know then you can go around and parade how you have the best ratings ever. Um but that’s the that’s the last thing on my mind because we have a pretty good following here. We have a pretty good following on John and Jim. We do a pretty damn good job, I think. Um let’s get to Hold on. Oops. Um have I seen any movies lately? What did I watch recently? Um, I can’t I haven’t watched any movies lately, but a couple shows that I’m watching that I think are like fantastic is one is Peacemaker. I love Peacemaker is amazing with John Cena. If you haven’t watched Peacemaker and you’re a DC fan or you’re just like a comic book fan, Peacemaker is [ __ ] not only is it funny, it’s legit. So, I’m watching Peacemaker season 2 and I’m watching Alien Earth on Hulu. Pretty good. It’s actually I I didn’t know what to expect when I started it, but now I’m like hooked. Um, let’s see here. Get some more supers before we get to Sege Geek here. We’ve gone an hour. Didn’t think I would go an hour, but I’m just um tell Annie how much you love your new Johnny and Jim logo and how I’m the coolest. Lead with that. All right, I’ll text her. Um, see here, Rich. Yeah, I get it. Miss the Rockies. I get it. Uh, thank you for the super chat, SJL Stevens. Uh, any talk about doing remote Fridays next season? I guess depending on if there’s hype after postseason. Um, I wish I if it were up to me, yes. But that’s not my call. Um, the company I mean, I’ll just flat out say it. They don’t view remotes as like I I don’t know. their view their view on getting us out there and on remotes is it doesn’t do anything and they don’t they just are against it and it does it piss me off like yeah it does but it’s their call they make the decisions even though I don’t agree um thanks for the super let’s see here another super chat from Moisus thank you for the past four years I’ve been tough on AJ on the wrap, but he did a good job. I agree. King injury was big. Yep. Nothing you can do about that. Uh, and we’ve always said as Manny goes, do so do the Padres’s. Yeah, we have said all the time on this show, Manny, as Manny goes, the team goes. And can’t help but think if Manny Machado was playing better the last two months, this team would be in first place right now. So, with that, yeah, I put a lot of it on Manny. Um, I quit listening to Schultz’s postgame BS last year. Probably a good thing for your mental health. I listen to it because I kind of have to because I cover the guy. Um, I’ll answer this one. Are ratings the reason for tension between other shows in town? Do you and John have beef with Ben Woods? No beef. None. None at all. There’s no There’s no tension between other shows in town. Um, no, I have no beef with Ben Woods. I don’t know how they feel about me recently. We haven’t talked recently, but last time I saw Woods, everything was fine. I mean, there’s no beef. And plus, we don’t even go up, they they’re in the mornings and we’re in the afternoons. I mean, we go up against Tony and Chris and Scrabby. And I tal I saw Tony and and Scrabby at a or sorry, not Tony, but Elo and Scrabby at like a STFC soccer game recently, and we talked for like an hour. No beef. Now, do I think our show is the superior show in the afternoons? I do. But that’s not beef. I just think that our show is better, that’s all. Um, do I have any desire to go the playbyplay route like John? No, I don’t. Because the thing is I’m not a like I don’t I’m not uh John is very like he’s the way he speaks in his tone is very playbyplayesque. I am the opposite. I am just like off the cuff off the riff like I don’t I can’t I can’t do that. Um you cool with Kaplan and crew? I don’t I don’t actually have never I’ve met I’ve met Scott one time and I was like a I was a producer. It was like early early in my career and I met him one time and that was it. I I’ve never met I’ve never met them. But they do a good job. I mean they they uh they’ve gone this you know the YouTube route. Um it’s a grind, man. It’s a grind. I I don’t fault anybody for working their ass off. Uh the flagship verse John and Jimmy Survivor Series. Well, that’d be a problem because they outnumber us. So, we would instantly lose. Like, it would be me and John versus like 10 people. We get our ass kicked. They would they would they would beat our ass. Um not Uh, okay. So, let’s get to Hold on here. [Music] Standby. Let’s get to Where is it? Where’d John freaking put it? There it is. Let’s get to underdog fantasy right now. Uh, it’s football season, baseball season, uh, NFL, college football.
