00:00Yeah, let's get ready for the final game of the day.

00:05Padres and the Braves game one tonight at Petco.

00:08Here is Manny Machado.

00:09Of course, he was asked yesterday, do you think it'll be an advantage that the Braves

00:14had to play two games and fly all the way across the country before game one tonight?

00:18Well, what do you think he said, Scotty?

00:19Of course it is, but we still got to handle our business.

00:22I mean, yeah, for sure.

00:23I mean, obviously, I mean, playing a doubleheader today, you know, definitely doesn't doesn't

00:26help them and benefits us in a way.

00:30But you know, at the end of the day, it's postseason baseball.

00:33And so once that game starts, once those lights turn on and, you know, both teams are going

00:37to be competing.

00:38Yeah.

00:39Do we have the edge today?

00:40Absolutely.

00:41But who knows tomorrow at five o'clock, they're a good team and, you know, we can't we can't

00:45let up.

00:46You know, we got to go out there and take care of our business and keep playing how

00:48we've been playing baseball.

00:49But, you know, I think, you know, postseason baseball, you can never take anything for

00:54granted.

00:55You got to go out there and compete, compete, play and and be ready for whatever.

00:58I know there are.

00:59And, you know, so we listen, I just think this guy is so incredible.

01:06He really is.

01:07And I think he's earned every penny of that gigantic contract he signed with Preller and

01:12the Padres.

01:13I think he comes to work every single day.

01:16I think he plays his ass off.

01:18He's a great player.

01:19He puts up big numbers.

01:21He's a winner.

01:23He's never involved in anything bad.

01:25Have you ever seen him do anything bad?

01:27Like he's got you know, he got he got a rap for guys cocky is bling, all this other nonsense

01:33stuff that doesn't matter.

01:34None of that stuff matters.

01:36That guy has earned every penny.

01:38You think about a guy seriously like Trout.

01:41I'm sorry.

01:42Like I love Mike Trout.

01:44He's a badass.

01:45But I mean, he plays about five games a year and he's making four hundred and fifty million

01:49dollars.

01:50He never plays.

01:52You know, plays every day, every year, every game, every day, every year.

01:57He just keeps producing and they keep going to the playoffs.

02:01That guy's a winner flat out.

02:03He has paid off in spades for that franchise unquestionably.

02:09He certainly has.

02:11So here we go for tonight, Scotty, with this one.

02:16We will have.

02:17Oh, sorry.

02:18Michael King is going to get the ball for the Padres.

02:22The Braves, I believe, Scotty, are still trying to figure out once they get out, they are

02:27going to go with Smith.

02:28Sure.

02:29They have listed here as the starter, which means it's probably going to be very much

02:32a bullpen type of game.

02:35One of their younger arms.

02:36Scotty, remember, Braves in a tough pitching situation here.

02:39They pitched Schwellenbach yesterday.

02:41They don't have sale available to them.

02:44They kind of needed to pitch all their guys over the weekend just to get to this point.

02:48So it's going to be kind of all hands on deck for the Braves tonight.

02:53Padres minus 180 plus a buck 50 for Atlanta and a seven and a half.

02:57Yeah, listen, I like my king.

02:59You and I know him.

03:01This kid, Smith Schauber, is going to get lit up.

03:05The Padres are going to jump on him like a train.

03:09And I mean, to tell you, I don't feel for one second they can play a doubleheader yesterday

03:14with the stress of that first game and then win the second game and then drink a bunch

03:18of champagne and beer and then fly six hours to San Diego and then play at five o'clock

03:27on the next day, the very next day after all of that.

03:30And you throw in some kid, he may poop his pants, that kid.

03:34So he honestly, the Padres are going to beat them.

03:38Smith Schauber made one start this year for the Braves.

03:41It was back in May in Chicago against the Cubs.

03:45So he's been in the minors all year.

03:49So look, this is like I said, it's kind of a, you know, with sale getting hurt and them

03:53using two starters yesterday.

03:56This is kind of what Holmes and Paul Holmes is kind of a long guy for them that started

03:59the second game.

04:01Really ought they needed to go with someone to go the only way.

04:05The only way they win is, in my opinion, is if the bats, which they have bats, there's

04:10no doubt that they have hitters.

04:13So if Albies and Olsen and Murphy and the whole team is, you know, Darnell, if everyone

04:21on that team is hitting tonight against King and they tee off on him, if you know, they

04:28jump on him early, let's say hit a couple of home runs and get a lead and they got the

04:32bats going and they're getting guys on base.

04:35That's their only chance to me.

04:37That kid's gonna, he's, he's going to be shaken like a leaf when he goes out on that bump

04:42against that crowd, that crowd at Petco sold out every single seat taken.

04:48Everybody's lit.

04:49And that's a really good team.

04:51The Padres mean business, dude.

04:54They're good enough.

04:55You know, I know that everyone thinks it's just Dodgers and Yankees and everybody else

04:59sucks.

05:00You couldn't be further from the truth.

05:02The Padres mean business.

05:03They're a really good team.

05:05They can do everything well.

05:07And I mean, they're lying in wait.

05:09I got, they're like a, I think they're like a rattlesnake in the, in the grass.

05:13You step in the wrong place, you're going to get bit.
