00:00Out last night, I have a friend in from town, from Florida.
00:03We went out to dinner last night.
00:05Great dinner, actually.
00:07Just you?
00:08Just you two went?
00:09No, just my wife and my daughter and our friend Michelle from Tampa.
00:16We had a great dinner, a great restaurant in Bethesda.
00:22They all wanted to get ice cream afterwards.
00:26Too late.
00:26It's just so late.
00:27What time was your dinner, Rez?
00:29The dinner reservation was 7.15.
00:31We didn't get there until 7.30.
00:33They didn't get out there until 9.30.
00:34They didn't get out there until 9.30.
00:36Yeah, that's...
00:36Probably.
00:37Maybe, yeah.
00:38Then we got...
00:39We had walked around Bethesda to find that we had to go to Jenny's.
00:45Jenny's.
00:46You know, good, whatever.
00:47I just didn't get to bed until close to 11.
00:50That's just too late.
00:51It was too late.
00:52It was great.
00:53That's a deal breaker.
00:54Middle of the week.
00:54It had a great time.
00:55It had a great time.
00:56I'm sure you did.
00:57But then tonight, I'm going to the Mubadal Open.
00:59Whatever.
01:00I'm not complaining.
01:01But it's just two back-to-back days.
01:02Yeah.
01:03It's a little too much.
01:04Too much.
01:04It's just too many activities.
01:05Just a little too much for me.
01:06Yeah.
01:07Yeah.
01:07You're done.
01:08You have too much on the sked.
01:09A little bit too much.
01:10But I'm trying to look at the draw.
01:11You're going to get about four hours sleep tonight.
01:13Maybe five.
01:14Yeah, it'll be two days in a row.
01:16Because you're going there for the 7 o'clock matches.
01:18So you're probably...
01:19I think it's 6 o'clock.
01:20I mean, it's...
01:20I don't know.
01:21That's where the gate's open, I guess.
01:22Did the matches start at 7?
01:24I think that...
01:24I thought it says my ticket says 6, but...
01:26I could look at the draw, but...
01:28Let's just say it's even at 6.
01:30I mean, you're going to be there for at least a couple hours.
01:32We'll be there a couple hours.
01:32I mean, believe me, I'm not going to stay up to the bitter end.
01:34Those guys will be playing until 2 in the morning.
01:36Do you have parking secured?
01:38No, I've never really worried about parking there.
01:41Usually fine.
01:41I would always worry about parking.
01:43Yeah, but I've been there so many times.
01:44I'm not too worried about it.
01:45You're good.
01:45Yeah, I think I'm good.
01:46I think I'm good with that.
01:48You know, it's not really that far from my house, actually.
01:51Yeah, it's probably only 20 minutes, 25 minutes.
01:54It depends on traffic.
01:56Let's see.
01:57But I need to...
01:58I'm trying to find the draw.
02:00I mean, it's just...
02:00Well, I don't have the draw.
02:01I just have the matches, so...
02:03All right, so tell me who I'm looking at today.
02:06I'll walk all around the...
02:07Men's side?
02:08Men's side?
02:09Yeah, give me a men's side for tonight.
02:11Well, Taylor Fritz plays at 2.30.
02:13That kind of kills you.
02:14That's fine.
02:15I don't have any preference, honestly.
02:17I don't care.
02:18All right, you can watch...
02:19All right, there's a match at 6.
02:21Alex Michelson or Mickelson...
02:23Right.
02:24...is playing Adrian Manorino.
02:26All right.
02:27That's at 6.
02:28What court?
02:28John Harris.
02:30And on the stadium course, Rafael Jodar is playing Nishikori.
02:35All right.
02:36That's at 8.
02:36All right.
02:38Women's side.
02:39Let's see.
02:39Women's side.
02:40Emma Navarro's playing at 2, so you won't see.
02:42You can watch Ashlyn Krieger play Naomi Osaka at 6.30.
02:47Well, that is actually what I'm intrigued by.
02:49What court is that?
02:50That's on stadium.
02:51All right.
02:52All right.
02:52So that's the one you're going to watch at 6.30.
02:53I'm going to definitely try to catch that.
02:55You're going to watch Krieger Osaka.
02:57I like Osaka.
02:58Manorino is a fan favorite.
03:00He's one of my favorite players to watch.
03:01He's an older guy.
03:02He's like 37, 38.
03:04Where is he from?
03:04Maybe he's not that old.
03:06Is he French?
03:07I think he's French.
03:08But he uses the lowest string tension on the tour.
03:12And what that means is, like by far, what that basically means is his strings are a trampoline.
03:17A lot of power.
03:19It comes flying off there, but you would never do that because you have no control.
03:24So he looks unathletic and everything.
03:26He's just a fun guy to watch.
03:28So watch him at 6.
03:29I'm trying to watch the, I'm trying to look at the men's doubles.
03:34Did Tiafoe and Kyrgios play and lose?
03:36What did they do?
03:37I don't see them.
03:39I wasn't tracking doubles.
03:40A lot of big names have lost.
03:42I think they must have lost.
03:43I think they lost.
03:44I don't see them.
03:45A short run for Tiafoe in his hometown event.
03:47Yeah.
03:48He was here for about two days.
03:49Yeah.
03:49I don't think they're in it anymore.
03:51That's fine.
03:52I mean, doubles is actually fun to watch in person.
03:54Shelton even lost in doubles.
03:58Let me see.
03:59And also, much more fun to play as a guy in your mid-50s.
04:04More fun to play doubles.
04:05Oh, yeah.
04:06Less court to cover.
04:07I'm going to play singles, like singles matches.
04:10Are you kidding?
04:10Get them.
04:11Get out of here.
04:12So you'll get what I'm doing.
04:13Some people still do it.
04:14I'm not doing that.
04:16I have no interest.
04:17Zero.
04:19Like Mark said when we had him on yesterday, 90% of the public plays doubles.
04:24He's probably right.
04:25That's basically what people play.
04:26Well, you're going to have good weather.
04:28Yep.
04:28That's good.
04:29Unlike last night.
04:30That's good.
04:31Yeah.
04:31The weather, we got in at 13 holes.
04:34Weather hit.
04:35It was fine.
04:36Some of the matches postponed yesterday or certainly delayed.
04:40Probably.
04:41I would assume.
04:41Probably.
04:42Yeah.
04:42So you watch Osaka tonight at 630.
04:44I'm going to watch Osaka.
04:45But I do like to walk around the grounds and just see everybody hitting.
04:48And just, I just, I just get, I actually really just love the environment.
04:52Mm-hmm.
04:53It's really cool.
04:55How many people are going tonight?
04:56It'd just be four of us, actually.
04:58It'd just be D and I.
05:00And Stevie's actually in town with us.
05:02So he and Kate are going to go.
05:03Oh, cool.
05:04So we'll have a good time.
05:05Well, I'm glad that the Nats play at 1.
05:08Maybe it's 1.30.
05:09But I love day games.
05:11Well, it's nice to have it all in the background.
05:13You love gambling on day baseball.
05:13I love, I just love watching it.
05:16Day games, awesome.
05:17Well, it's good.
05:17They're coming off a win, too.
05:19I only got to see the first inning last night.
05:20That's all you needed.
05:21Because it was a 70-minute rain delay.
05:24But that's all you needed.
05:25Because Bieber couldn't throw a strike.
05:27He's, he was blaming the weather.
05:29Yeah, the Biebs was having issues.
05:31Said he couldn't grip the ball.
05:32He was too hot.
05:32He was sweating.
05:33His hand was sweating.
05:34Right.
05:35Well, they got four runs.
05:36And then they got the back-to-back bombs in the fourth.
05:39Your boy Cruz.
05:40Cruz is coming along.
05:42He is coming along.
05:43He was my whipping boy.
05:44Anybody who thinks he sucks and he's going to be a failure, they're wrong.
05:47He's going to be good.
05:49I'm not saying he's going to be a 300-hitter.
05:50I don't know how good he's going to be, but he's going to survive.
05:53I think he's going to be a starter.
05:54He's going to survive.
05:55I hope so.
05:56He should be.
05:57Yeah, I mean, he's number two pick in the draft.
05:59He should be at minimum.
06:00I know, but last year, a lot of people thought,
06:03I mean, he wasn't even hitting in the minors.
06:05He was done.
06:06No, no.
06:07I was putting him in the Carter Key Boom category until proven otherwise.
06:11And so far, he's doing a solid job.
06:14So today's a 105 first pitch.
06:17Yeah, and then who's left to pitch?
06:19Is this today when Griffin's pitching?
06:21No.
06:21No, Zach Littell's pitching today.
06:23By the way, it seems like by all reports when you're reading little blurbs,
06:26I mean, it's basically given Foster Griffin's gone.
06:29Well, the trade deadline is looming.
06:32You should ask to bony that at 9.
06:34No, he's not going to say it.
06:35It's over.
06:36I mean, it's over.
06:38Talk's fizzled, and it's basically expected.
06:41Just enjoy the ride you had with Curtis Mead and slash Foster Griffin.
06:45Mead, by the way, is probably going to be out for the year.
06:48As long as he's on the 10-day IL.
06:50Well, 10 days could mean two months.
06:52Wow.
06:52Broken wrists usually take about two months to heal.
06:54That's a brutal trade for the Sox.
06:57So two months, so August, September, so maybe he could be back for the playoffs
07:02if they get in, but he's probably going to miss the rest of the regular season.
07:05That's just brutal.
07:06That hurts.
07:07There's nothing you can do about it.
07:09You made the trade.
07:10You have no idea the guy's going to get a ball on his wrist.
07:13No.
07:13Basically his first game.
07:15Literally.
07:15He's peering for your team.
07:16Second at bat.
07:17The worst luck you could have.
07:18I believe it was his second at bat as a Red Sox.
07:20That is correct.
07:22And he breaks the wrist and could probably be out six to eight weeks.
07:27Yeah.
07:27That's a rough one.
07:28All right.
07:29We'll talk a lot of baseball on a game show Wednesday today.
07:32Chelsea Jaynes, MLB insider for SNY.
07:34She's going to join us at eight o'clock.
07:37And Paul Toboni, the president of baseball ops for your Washington Nationals.
07:42He will join us for his weekly hit at 9 a.m.
07:45This is his last appearance before the trade deadline next week.
07:49Because I believe August 3rd is a Monday or Tuesday.
07:52It's Monday.
07:53So this is the last appearance he's making before the trade deadline on August 3rd.
07:59So you definitely don't want to miss that.
08:00It's coming up at nine o'clock.
08:02When we come back, we'll get into the commanders.
08:05They have their first practice today.
08:08Yesterday, Dan Quinn and Adam Peters had their training camp introductory press conferences.
08:13JP Finley from 106.7 The Fan put him on the spot yesterday.
08:17We'll listen to his question that he pitched to them yesterday.
08:20We'll do that next.
