00:00Don't look now, the Padres are coming on strong here.
00:02They beat Milwaukee three games in a row.
00:04It's incredible to see the Padres not only hanging around,
00:08but now have themselves a playoff position.
00:11If they can hang on in the National League,
00:13they're playing Cleveland this weekend.
00:15They came back to beat Milwaukee in extra innings on Wednesday.
00:19And as you can see right now,
00:21they and the Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies
00:25entering Sunday's play have the same exact record.
00:30And only two of those three teams are going to get in.
00:33And barring, and the team we'll talk about in a minute,
00:34the Cubs collapsing, which is always in play
00:37based on the history of the Cubs.
00:39I don't know.
00:40I mean, those three, let's throw that up there again, Sam.
00:43Those three teams, and listen,
00:45I got to throw my Marlins in there too.
00:46Let me add them as the fourth.
00:48But of the teams that are left, you know, Tom,
00:51if you had to reset and say, here's who I think gets in,
00:54who's it going to be?
00:55Final two wild cards.
00:57At this point, it might be the Dimebacks and the Padres.
01:00The Phillies, they have not looked good.
01:04And when you're going to, you know,
01:06what we saw from the Phillies last week,
01:07when you're going to St. Louis
01:09and you have your top starters of Chris Sanchez
01:12and Zach Wheeler, and you are losing those games
01:15on the road against the most middling team
01:18we could possibly find with the Cardinals,
01:20when you're losing those games,
01:22that's an indictment on the Phillies offense.
01:24The pitching is great,
01:25but just the momentum that the Dimebacks
01:27and the Padres have right now,
01:29it is going to be tough to overcome both of them
01:32if the Phillies can't get their offense going.
