00:00Well, I got to tell you, Bryce Elder going, what, six innings last night.
00:04That bullpen has been getting worked.
00:06And it's been Iglesias in the back end.
00:08That's been one of the best bullpens in the National League all year long.
00:13And it has really saved them, especially when they weren't scoring any runs here over the last month, month and
00:20a half.
00:21But that bullpen has rested here tonight.
00:24And we know what the Padres' bullpen, the back end, is all about.
00:28Both bullpens, at least the high leverage arms, got the night off last night.
00:33We didn't have to see Mason Miller.
00:34We didn't have to see Iglesias.
00:37So tonight is a little different story.
00:40To your point, Ronaldo Lopez is the guy that they're turning to here in hopes of being able to solidify
00:47the middle of that rotation.
00:49And what about the Padres?
00:51I thought Sears pitched well last night, certainly good enough to win.
00:54But now it's Walker Buehler on the mound for him here tonight.
00:58So I guess those bullpens better be rested here.
01:01No, Craig?
01:02They are.
01:04And, you know, with the Padres, I just, Joe, I've watched them play.
01:07It doesn't seem like these Padres I've seen in the last 10 years.
01:11I don't like this team.
01:12I don't know.
01:13There's something missing.
01:14You know, where is Dylan Cease and you, Darvish?
01:18You know, like that's Joe Musgrove.
01:20Where is that stopper for them that may not be an ace on some team, but he's like the ace
01:25of the Padres and ends up doing very well.
01:27They don't have that.
01:28Their hitting hasn't been good.
01:30That's taken a big step back.
01:31Of course, Manny Machado.
01:32It's been documented the season that he's having also.
01:35I don't get the same feeling on the Padres.
01:38We know that now that, you know, Mason Miller's name is coming up as far as trade's concerned.
01:41This poor guy.
01:42He's like the best closer, like, ever.
01:44He goes from the A's.
01:46The Padres maybe gets traded again three times.
01:48Still a young player.
01:50I think the Padres probably are going to be on the outside looking in this year, Joe.
01:54I actually like Arizona more than I like San Diego.
01:57I think the Diamondbacks have a better shot than them.
