The Padres lost Game one of their series with the
Red Sox today at Benway five to two. Michael King
took the loss. Game two is tomorrow afternoon at one ten.
Randy Vasquez is going to pitch for the Padres and
it is going to be Tom Lee early on the
hill for the Red Sox. In NBA news, according to Shams,
(00:47):
Luca is going to be out the final five games
of the regular season for the Lakers with a great
two hamstring strain. And in college basketball news, Duke freshman
Cameron Boozer is named AP Player of the Year. He
got fifty nine out of the sixty one votes from
the AP top twenty five voters. He joins Cooper flags
On Williamson, Anthony Davis, and Kevin Durant as the only
(01:08):
freshman to win the AP award, and each of them
went in number one or two in their respective drafts
that year, and despite all the Carolina rumors and coach
at Tommy Lloyd has agreed to a new deal to
stay in Arizona. He will be one of the five
highest bid coaches in all of college basketball. Choosing the
right home service company isn't just about fixing what's broken.

It's about trusting who's in your home.

And that's why homeowners count on Anderson for friendly, professional
service that keeps everything running right. Visit andersonpha dot com.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
It's Schaefer and Sliwa Sean Schaffer. When you think about
the city of San Diego, some of the worst ownership groups,
with the Clippers situation, with the Chargers situation, even the
Padres ownership history, has it always been smooth? Salist set
Diego Zone, Alan Slivah.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I felt like we went to a stage of baseball
where everything was so predetermined.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Why have a management? What's the point having out?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
All? Right? San Diego and Southern California, what's going on?
This is hour two of Shafer and Sliwa continue to
reaction to the p Andres falling to two and five. Overall,
they lose the opener in Boston today five two. If
you want to weigh in. Text us seven zero four
seven zero started with the word team. Our phone lines
(02:21):
are open. We've heard some from heard from some p
andre fans in the first hour of the show eight
seven seven seven six seven four seven sixty. I know
some people are in their cars right now. You're probably
frustrated with the offense, or the manager, or just the situation.
If you want to vent eight seven seven seven six
seven four seven sixty. That's the nice thing about what
we do. You can kind of just one percent, you know,
(02:43):
you can just talk through it.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
It's a big part of I think you and I
both somewhere in this, you know, growing up in sports
talk radio as in fans of sports radio.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
That's a big part of how you uh, how you
vent and and listen. I think on the conversation the
padres and if you do want to voice your opinion
on it, we'd love to hear from you. Guys, be specific,
What is what is bothering you the most? Is there
a player that's bothering you? Is it the manager, whatever
the case, It could be the energy of the team,
(03:14):
whatever it is. I mean, if if you ask me
that same question, John, I don't know if I could
identify one thing.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I mean, yes, I think we're all going to say
the bats.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I think if we just look at the stars for
the San Diego Padres, what have they done, They've done
nothing so long, They've done nothing so far, so that
that I think for a lot of people it's they
came off they started the season so quiet. I'll just
go back to this just because you had mentioned it
early on and this was only three games in, like
(03:42):
are they ready?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Like?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Are they like they ready to start the season?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Tatis and the critical at bat not challenging it would
have worked to his advantage, and you're like, wait is
this where is everybody here?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
That that's kind of I think the mood for a
lot of people.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I mean, Shaeffer and Sliwa have combined to hit the
same number of home runs as manning the shadow for
now the Tatishu, now they might have a better show
than we have, but we have been just as good offensively.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
At Tatisan Machado. It's a good show there. On six
six nine am a nine am.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
All right again, we're giving away tickets to see Charlie
Pooth at Viehouse. Are in on April twenty second, we've
got a family four pack of tickets to give away
to assessame place. Kevin Ac will join us in fifty
five minutes at five pm live from Boston. But right now,
let's get to this.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Good time for the Wrap presented by some Brero Mexican food.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Check out their website. It's some breromeex dot com.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
After last night, would you take OKAC or the field
to win it all?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
OKAYC or the field? Okay? See here the field? Okay?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
So really basically what you're saying is, are you taking
OKC four San Antonio, Boston, maybe Detroit, but I stop
after Boston. I'm gonna take the Oklahoma City Thunder completely
a great.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I think they'll do it in fewer overall games than
they did it last year. That's not saying a ton
they had multiple seven game series.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
But I think what you're saying is they'll probably dominate
this postseason.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah. I don't know if it's the sixteen and one
or fifteen to one Lakers, you know onegainst Philadelphia, but
I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't have a series
go longer than six games. For example, on their way
to a title.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I think that's very possible, especially franchises like Okase.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Once you get one, what's the pressure?
Speaker 4 (05:26):
There is no pressure now now, Actually you can probably
be the best version of yourself because I think a
lot of these teams or it always takes that first
one to kind of get it under even like I mean,
just throw a couple of teams. Are the Boston Celtics.
Is there a lot of pressure on bosses that well,
they already have one. Yes, there is some pressure, but
you got one. You don't have to worry about repeating
(05:47):
or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Not pred next question, what will.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Be your action if Ukon wins the national title?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I'll just stop watching college sports, you know, I'll stop
watching college basketball. Tull San Diego State's back. I'll be
upset about it. I'll be frustrated about it, and I
can't stand Dan Hurley. And I think a lot of
Aztec fans feel the same way. Actually, you don't have
to be an Aztec fan to not like Dan Hurley,
but you can fan No, you just have to watch
him for ten minutes and realize that obviously, Yukon taken
(06:17):
out San Diego State.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Two years in a row. I'm a huge every other
team fan.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Now, So if they win it all, it's three and
four years, you understand how ridiculous that is, especially in
cop it's one and done with all these variables at
every step of the journey. I mean, it's almost impossible
to envision. I don't think three and four has been
done since, like UCLA in the sixth. You might be
right whenever, he might be right under John Wooden. Yeah,
(06:43):
my reaction wouldn't be it wouldn't be great. I don't
want to see it, but I would not be shocked.
I would not be shocked because if they beat Illinois,
I assume their favorite over Illinois that halfinal four, I'm
making it up. Let's say three points right now all
of a sudden, Yeah, you're gonna be a dull against
Arizona or Michigan. But like, we just got wanted done,
(07:04):
and I feel like all the pressure at that points
on Michigan are Arizona, not on the University of Connecticut.
It's house money.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
After the early D eight, I think there's gonna be
pressure on Yukon because they're Yukon.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
There's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Pressure because it's Dan Hurley.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
There's gonna be expectations of still winning because it's them.
But if you're Michigan in Arizona, you're also going up against.
Don't think that you don't have pressure now in the
sense of that's Yukon over there, that's Dan Hurley over there.
I think you are looking on the other side and
intimidated a little bit, even though your record is your record,
even though they've been phenomenal so far in the tournament,
(07:37):
even though both of them beat San Diego State by
Michigan by forty and Arizona by twenty something, You're going
up against a school in a university that's had so
much success they'll be intimidated to go up against Yukon.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I actually really believe that. Here's a dumb point spread
for you that it has I don't know what written
all over it. Illinois is favored by a point and
a half against Connecticut. How do you let that game?
Illinois is favored by a point and a half? What
is Vegas telling us?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
That's very Do you remember yesterday when I said I'll
take the points, the nine and a half with the
younger and they won by forty three. So I'm gonna
go ahead and not contribute in this one.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yeah, that is a very interesting betting line. Next question, Well,
the Lakers win a title with Luca, not this year
in general, just in general in general.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Oh, that's a really good question. Let me give you
my thought process here.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I want to lean towards yes because of their new ownership, right,
because I do think their new ownership will get that
franchise back on track. But let me just say this
real quick about Luca. He's going to be twenty seven
years old, which is super young. He's walking into his prime.
He's had some injuries, he's had some hamstring issues. I mean,
you need the best version of Luka dancicch and you
(08:54):
got to make sure obviously he's healthy for a year.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
You got to hit on everything else.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
You're dealing with OKC and Antonio for the next seven years.
Wenby ain't going anywhere. Sha ain't going anywhere. Other teams
in the Western Conference will try to rebuild. If I
had to lean one way or the other, I'm going
to lean towards yes because of the new ownership. It's
gonna be really difficult in order to do that.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, I'm with you. I would put like the over
under for me is a half title like it's hard
to more than one is gonna be ridiculously impressive. It
really will. And I lean because it is the Lakers
franchise that over the next five years they'll put the
right team around him at least one time.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
But can I tell you if they didn't trade, or
if they didn't if they didn't sell, if you told
me the bust family still I would actually say no.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
So I think I lean only because of the new ownership.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Interesting and to your point at twenty seven, But I mean,
how old is Shay, how old is Wemby? I mean
there's other players similar or younger ages that have just
as many opportunities as Luca with the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Next question, now, remember we only have two hours. What's
the biggest issue with the Padres.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
They're new city connects, which I have any been seen?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Well, I see them.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I mean we've seen them. We think, yeah, yeah, I
think we're right right. I think they're solid. I like
them better than what they had.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I think, yeah, what what they had was so unique,
and I think I see it so so often around
the city. So I like that people were rocking it.
But I like the new ones as well. What's the
biggest issue with the padres can we is there really
a is it everyone going to have the same answer?
I think is everyone having a different answer.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I mean you could go more specific, if you could say,
like it's Manny Machado. I wouldn't say that, but I
mean if you wanted to get you could say the manager. Yeah,
I'm not going to say that.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
I think I just I gotta go with the offense.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I gotta go with the bats.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I mean I just called out every game they've played
so far just how poor their offense has been.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I think it's got to be the offense. Got to
be the bat. I mean, twenty one runs in seven
games for an off I mean the investment in the lineup,
most of this money is tied up in bats boards
Jackson Marril, You've tied up a lot of money in
your offense and you're not getting any productivity. Now it's
only seven games. Pull up their batting averages, like, look
(11:08):
at today's box score and look at what these players
are hitting. Nobody has done anything other than Ramone Loreano.
And I'm not just saying that. That's a factual statement.
No one is doing anything other than Ramon Loreano.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
I'm gonna give this to you.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Let's do it by average, so that way we can
start with the good and then just get more depressed
as we go down the list.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Ramon Loreano three eighteen is a Hall of Famer right
now for the San Diego Padres, right all right. Gavin Sheets,
who just started hitting basically in his lastast couple last
two games he started hitting at two point fifty yep
is the second highest batting average for the San Diego Padres,
only because he just started hitting two games ago.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Manny Machado two twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Bryce Johnson cracking the top five at two hundred. Okay,
Now I'll just kind of name off some of the
bigger names. Tatisa is batting two hundred, Jackson Merrill is
batting one eighty five, Jay Croneworth is batting one sixty seven.
Xander Bogart, who got I think all of his hits
in the first game, not literally, but close is batting
(12:17):
one forty three.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Freddy for mean, yeah, has he done anything?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I was I don't know how you felt coming into
the season, but I was excited about for mean point
zero seven one for Freddy for me.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Saying seventy one. Now they's had probably thirteen at bats.
But yeah, that's the Padres offense right now.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I mean, and if we equate that to dollar for average,
we're struggling on this one.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yeah, I mean, so we all agree I had a
dead money going on.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
It's the offense. I'll stand by the general point of
if you go to and five from July first, thirty eighth, yep,
you can live with it and stomach it. If a
player hits two hundred for seven games, of course that'll
inevitably happen over the one sixty two.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
And if it doesn't, when it does, then we can
we could also point to, hey, it was a bad start.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
It's just when you start, you know, it's just so
it's just right in front of your face when you
start like this, and I is Manny Machado gonna probably
have a productive year. Yeah. I'm not going to go
all and be like, what's wrong with Manny Machado. I've
watched this way too much over the last seven or
eight years. But I will say one player that I
just don't know is like a Fernando Tazzis Junior. I
(13:27):
just don't know who he is. I don't I love
Fernando Tatis Junior as a player, but to be fair,
you have to be very critical the twenty twenty one
and before Toddy to the player we've seen since Toddy.
I just I don't even know who he is as
a player right now, and it's it's frustrating.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
You know, the worst part about all this, You know
who we never and you obviously been doing this on
a daily basis a lot longer than I have.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
For San Diego.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
You've done a phenomenal job, obviously covering the padres, who
do most people bitch and complain about right out the gate?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Give me your list? What does it look like?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I mean, Mammy Man, he's always probably the first one
who's after that.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I mean Toddy. Yeah, it's not gonna be bogarts if
that's what you're going with this, I'm going with because
people have given up on him, right, because they don't
have any expectations. When you don't have.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
The worst that's the worst thing that and you're it's
because you're right. It's the worst thing is that everybody
has basically given up. When you told me yesterday, I
almost wanted to lose it, but you were right when
you said it, You're like, yeah, he's gonna go to Boston,
he's gonna get a standing and he did.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Tipped his cat or first at bats standing ovation. Yet
here like crickets when it comes to.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Place I had I had a I had a moment,
and I'm glad I didn't do it, and I almost
wanted to do it, just because of the situation when
he first became a San Diego padre and obviously he
didn't come out the gate and he hasn't been good
at all in the first three seasons as a padre.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
I wanted to buy Xander Jersey so bad.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I wanted to believe he was going to be a
version of himself that he was in Boston. I wanted
to believe that this dude was going to be this
just stud and come through and he's already won two
world says he's able to bring this veteran leadership and
a champion and a winner and all that.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Don't buy it did not buy it at THHG.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I did not buy it, just so everybody knows it.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Not buy it probably, but he gets But there is
this like, man, that's that's deflating to hear what you
said that he gets this. It's not even I don't
even know if free passes the right way to explain it.
But because you have no confidence in him that you
don't even give the energy on it. Why why should
(15:40):
why should someone pick up the phone and call about
Xander Bogart's and complain. They want to complain about Machado
and Tatis, they want to complain about other players. Maybe
there's some calls to come towards Jackson cronin words something
like that, but it's because they've given up on Xander.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I think it's the worst contract in Padre's history, which
is hard to say. Further than that, it's probably one
of the worst in the history of baseball. I don't
think it's the worst, like there's some terrible contracts pool.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Hoold Well, I'm saying worse than the worst.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
And what what is there something that's happened politically that
we could also know.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
It's just it's a it's a very bad deal and
I don't know how you get out from underneath it. Truthfully,
we don't have enough time to figure that out. Kevin A.
Sy will join us coming up at five pm. On
the other side, will switch gears momentarily in executive disappointing
to disrupt.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
The workspace San Diego Sports sixty, America's finest sports station.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Hi Schaeffer and Slawa Sandia is my mic. I think
my camera's been.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Frozen the whole time.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Maybe I don't even know I have my the way
I have my screen, Yeah, which is so disrespectful. If
I gotta be honest with you, I have another window opened.
And I didn't realize I was doing this. All I
had was half of my screen while I just saw me, Like,
how much of an ego do you.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Have to have?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
You're just watching yourself. You just have to watch yourself
the entire time.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
No, that's fine.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
And I didn't even look at you could have been
off the screen. You could have been off the camera.
You could have been and nothing. I gave you nothing
to help you with your not working.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Not really, you know the thing with technology there, I
am hold on, give me one.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Can we make me bigger than I love it? Can
I have a little bit?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Can I say this? Okay?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
No, first off, if you're not going to be on
camera right then you can need to we need to
change the lower third right now.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Too, to just say sli. I mean I love that.
I love either you're coming or you're not. If I'm
off one day, it's it's sliwa. If you're off one day,
it's Shaefer. That's what we should do with this. The
name of the show changes. Put me on the side.
I just want to be on like the lower like
lower part. If I'm not here. Let me say this
about technology. It's great, Like I'm I'm pro internet. Like
if I was running for Congress, I'd run on a
(17:56):
pro Internet platform, like I like the Internet pro What
were people doing?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
You and I?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I don't know how old you are, but we're similar age.
I assume I remember growing up and like we would
like play you actually go out and do it like
I didn't. Like if I didn't know something, I would
like go to the book and like find the answer.
I wouldn't just like ask chet GPT or my phone
like everything except I didn't know it. I just didn't
know it. Now it's like you, everything is at your fingertips,
(18:20):
literally at your fingertips. So again, I'm pro internet. I'm
not going to run on the like anti internet.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Platform because I was so funny to say pro internet,
but here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
When it doesn't work. Isn't it funny how we did?
It's such a first world issue. It's like I'll be
it like I'll be in an arena. I'm like, Internet's down.
It's a joke for like five seconds and I like
start throwing and that sure it works on my phone.
Have you ever had this?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
And everybody's had it, whatever you have at home, Cox, cable.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Se whatever.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
When it goes out all of a sudden, there's this like, wait,
why isn't the internet? And then you see this red
Oh it's the one on your modem or whatever the
case is, like the world's gonna end, Like why don't
you just, I don't know, outside, go for a walk
or something.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Can you can you take fifteen minutes?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I know we live in San Diego.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
And then there's you get a text from whichever down
services down? You know what I say, when I know
the service is down, you don't have to tell me.
I'm looking around there's no service. Yeah, it's just is
your service down?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Anyway? I don't know that I'm back anyway. It's a
long way of saying I'm back. We don't have a
ton of time to react to this, But there was
an executive order issue today by the White House related
to the future of college athletics. I think by and large,
fans of college sports probably want to see the executive
order come to fruition, so to speak. It'll be challenged
(19:38):
immediately legally everywhere, every state, believe me. But the premise
of it is this, if you're a college athlete, you
can transfer once. Okay, you can transfer a second time
with a college degree for your last year as well,
So you actually could get a second transfer without sitting out.
But if you wanted to go, for example, your first
(19:58):
year at a duke, second year to San Diego State,
that's permissible. But if your third year now you wanted
to go to Nevada, no, you got to sit out.
Now you get the one free transfer. The free transfer
means no sitting out, So you have to sit out
for one year, one year, one red shirted a year. Now.
The only exception is let's say go duke my first
year San Diego State, years two, three, and four, I
(20:20):
get a degree from San Diego State. They also in
this executive order is something called five and five. You
have five years to play five seasons. This is a
big push in college athletics because now you have guys
playing like seven years. They're not saying listen, if you
red shirt one year, if you blow out your knee,
you got five years. That's all you have. If you
miss a year because of a knee.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
If I could be honest with you, that sounds reason,
sounds reason, that sounds fair.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
If you're healthy, you can play five seasons and your
fifth season again, if you have a degree from San
Diego State, now you can go to North Carolina and
you don't have to sit there.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
You're injured for two years, you still got three years
of eligibility total.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, I mean truthfully that this to me is not political.
This is all about college athletics. I think the general
idea of kind of pulling back the reins on freedom
of movement, name, image, and likeness revshare again. I think
we all understand players should be compensated. That's not changing.
I have no issue with it, but there should be
some like parameters or restrictions probably put in place. They
(21:14):
went from nothing to everything really quickly, and it feels
like there should be some parameters put in place.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, I think everybody agrees that we don't know what
college basketball, college football is.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
We don't know the landscape anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
We think that there is no It's.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Like you went, you had to drive twenty five miles
per hour on the freeway, and now it's like you
can go one hundred and eighty and nobody's stopping you
can we find a middle ground? And I know you
and I will try to look at this through this
the lens of San Diego State University. What could benefit
san Diego State? And I'm not here to I don't
know all the nuances of it. You know, part of
(21:52):
kind of my own personal education. As I come and
I take this role, I'm going to learn a lot
more about the nuances that is a benefit to San
Diego State what hurts San Diego State University. But I
think where everybody could agree is let's get some rules
in college athletics.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I don't know what the rules are.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
You know, you want to go spend five million dollars
on a player, you can do so you want to
leave if a player just wants to, it's almost like
you know you're trying to. You're trying to. Somebody is
an employee at a company and every single year he
has five different companies that are coming after him, and
(22:34):
every single year he's just kind of holding all these
companies a hostage, and it's really who's the highest taker.
You can't build a culture at that company. So it's
a it's confusing. I hope it changes, and I don't
know if this is the solution. But nothing you just
told me sounded absurd. That sounded reasonable, That sounded fair.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, more reasonable than what's playing out right now. I
think most fans of college athletics feel that way.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Now.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
When your favorite team's on your watching, When Georgia football
is playing, everyone's watching, you know, Alabama's playing, people are
watching the Final Four. They almost like put it to
the side as the competition is playing out, but everyone understands,
like behind the scenes, like Yukon is playing in a
Final four, yet three players in three days could be
in the transfer port. The whole thing is just it's
(23:20):
just a mess, all right. On the other side, I
think it's to some extent it's a mess, is how
I feel about him. On the other side, let's give
away Charlie put four six and eight dollars Bigie deals.
How you want him that Wendy Rice participation, Mayberry think

is in Boston. Are you I said it was pro Internet.
(25:25):
Are you pro? You're probably anti Boston would be my guest,
just the Lakers Celtics rivalry. But are you pro Boston
as a city? Oh, Boston's a great it's a good city.
Is phenomenal city. Know, It's funny, two years ago around
this time, San Diego State was in a Swiss sixteen
in Boston. It's you come it was two years ago
right around in Boston. That's right. It was opening home
opener for the Padres. Was that weekend or that day even,
(25:47):
But it isn't good. Boston's a great city, but it
is a great baseball.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I'm a little you know, there's certain markets I have
some jealousy of.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Now.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I hate the city from a sports perspective, but I
hate the city more from a sports perspective.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
I guess I don't care anymore. But the Patriots and
the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I hated that.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
And then this year when the Chargers played the Patriots,
You're like, I'm like, I've never loved Rabel Moore and
the Patriots, So yeah, it's I flipped.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Just reminded me of something. We'll give it. We'll give
away the Charlie put tickets. Coming up, there was this
is a crazy story. Uh huh, the crazy story. There's
a bill introduced in the Senate to protect franchises from relocating.
This was in the UT. This was in the UT,
and the way it was phrased was like the most
(26:40):
headline ever. It was like, new bill introduced in Core
could keep the Padres in San Diego? Like what do
you mean? Could keep the Padres in San Diego? Wasn't
the premise that if a team is being if a
team wants to be relocated, they have to wait a
year to potentially sell it for.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
They got away a year, and I think to give
an opportunity for a lot of ownership groups to come in
to keep the franchise local.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
So, okay, So the comp would be, let's say, within
the last ten years. If this bill existed, before the
San Diego Chargers could move to LA, they would have
to offer up the franchise to a buyer. For one year.
Before they could move from San Diego to LA, they'd
have to offer up the franchise to a suitable buyer.
(27:27):
That's what's now been introduced in Congress. Does not mean,
by the way, though.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Here's the exact title, okay, and it's in the business
section of the UT.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
It says US.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Senator Bernie Sanders introduces bill that could keep the Padres
in San Diego. That's how you read it, right, It could, Oh,
it could. And the moment I read that, and it
says also kind of a subtitle here, the proposed law
would likely have kept the Chargers in San Diego. Can
I I'll tell you this when I hear that there's
(27:57):
even a discussion. We've had this conversation about how important
new ownership is going to be in San Diego, that
they're everything. And here's somebody, Joe Lacum who changed completely
changed the franchise of the Golden State Warriors as in
other than the Clippers, one of the least successful basketball
franchises right in the NBA lakeup comes in.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Some people want to give him credit. Some people say, oh,
well you got Steph Curry this. No, I'm gonna give
the owner credit. I mean, every one should get credit.
They won four NBA championships.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Here's somebody that has bred a winner up in the Bay,
took them from Oakland to San Francisco and built the chase.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Is that the move? Yeah? The chase, yes, obviously has been.
But was it going from Oakland to San Francisco? People
just like that's fine? But isn't that is that fine?
Speaker 5 (28:45):
You know, you could look.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
At Santa Clarita of where they or Santa Clara right
where they ended up moving the Niners.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
I think there's probably a big base. Let's just put
it this way. If you were a Warriors fan before
and there's still it's not like you have two franchises
that you're competing with, So technically it's still kind of
representing everybody. But the point I'm trying to make is
if I told you you have an ownership group that
could potentially buy the Podres. He's having a lot of
(29:15):
success somewhere else, he wants to win. He's highly competitive, this, that, this,
and then there's a story that comes with it. It's
like if you remember the story at one point about
the tie to Oakland and.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Would they move the podjand what put that in print?
That's what my point.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Instantly when I saw that, I'm like, Okay, well Lake
of then's got to be out of the mix here.
And I'm I'm the one that values ownership more than
anything else.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Most people should.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
But just even having a sentence or an article that
that's even in the cards, it's like, well, then now
we got to take out this owner that could be
great for the Podres.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
But here's the thing, I agree with you, and even
conversing about it feels kind of wrong. But then again,
we're in San Diego, where franchises have gotten up and moved.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I mean, they have a lot more franchises that have
moved than a state.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
And here's the other thing. The UT recently wrote an
article I think Jennifer van Grove, who does like their
business writing, she writes some really detailed pieces and in
some of her reporting and I don't have in front
of me, but the premise was like, oh, I mean
the Padres least only protects this franchise for like a
twenty thirty or something like that. So yeah, they're only guaranteed.
Like the contractual obligation of the Padres to this ballpark
(30:27):
is a very short window. It wasn't dozens of years
or tens of years. It was like not like five years.
Like wait, what so again, I have to assume a
record sale. A big portion of the reason why you
would get that figure is because of the passionate fan support,
because of Petco Park, because of San Diego as a market.
That to me is why I give you one other one.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
On top of that, part of it is also probably.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
The reason there's only one professional team of the top
four here.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Which makes it a unicorn of a city. Because we've
talked about this, the only city in America that only
he has a baseball team among the big four is
San Diego, California. The only city in America other than Sacramento.
But that's fake because the A's are moving the only
city in America.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Yeah, and listen, my hoping goal is.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Obviously this changes, and there's another professional team that eventually
comes to San Diego, whether that's an NFL team, if
that's unlikely, go NHL. If that's unlike going to You
got to get as many professional teams as you possibly can.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I do feel like there's a lot of opportunity in
San Diego.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
But to even have the conversation that the Padres could
potentially move, just again, I go back to that Lake
the story, the ty with Joe lakeup and everything else.
It's like, my god, if there was another gut punch
like that, I give up. And a lot of people
have given up, but I, oh yeah, and I have not.
But I'm just saying that that's that can't happen.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
The first question at the press conference, which by the way,
could be this month. They could be sold this month.
There could be a press conference this month. I mean,
Kevin Acy is told that old Jonas at five PM.
First question, First question, You're committing to keeping the franchise
in San Diego for generations to come right, yes or no.
I don't want to hear an answer. I don't want
to Oh, we love this ballparking, we loved No. No,
(32:14):
it's a yes or no question. They're like, yes.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
How is this even a topic? Can you imagine that?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Well, I mean there's something like articles. I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
The fact that that has to even be asked, I know,
but that that's also comes with the history of this city.
That's why so many people I mean, yoh, yesterday, we
were having a conversation because I forget how the.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Sonics came up, but we we we were.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Talking about the Seattle Super Sonics and they almost moved
here at one point, by the way, in like the eighties.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
I don't know if they if if they almost did,
but but we were talking this the conversation came up
about the Sonics.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Yeah, and we're having a conversation. I think maybe what
we were saying was.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
You can look at Seattle was such a great basketball
market and now you know, they've been gone. I think
we're talking about the Oklahoma City Thunder and everything else,
that they were such a great A lot of NBA
fans remember Seattle as a phenomenal NBA market, the Seattle SuperSonics,
and it's going to go full three sixty because it
does look like the NBA is going to expand and
(33:18):
Seattle's going to get a team back. And then you
and I kind of went in this, well, Seattle can
eventually get a team back. Is there an opportunity down
the road where I know, we just used the Chargers
as an example because they left, But are we sitting
here ten years from now or fifteen years from now
and the Chargers were to come back, or there was
an expansion in the NFL and a professional team came
(33:38):
back to San Diego. That's I think the tie that
we are looking at. But of course everybody's very sensitive
of the topic. Of course they are oh yeah, no.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
So when you see a title that's yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
At US Sentinel, Bernie Sanders introduces bill that could keep
the Podras in San Diego, You're like, what the.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
F Honestly, I had said, once I learned the podjoser
for sale, Go find the right owner that's committed to way.
But now it's Trump that is what you have to stay.
I would take that. I would take the second most
committed owner that guaranteed staying for fifty five years over
the most committed owner. That's noncommittal.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
And you got a freaking city that's you can't get
any more desperate than San Diego of wanting to win something,
and here we are having to talk about what's you know,
obviously the conversation being about keeping the team in San Diego.
I don't think they'll go anywhere. I think most people
(34:35):
think they're not going to go anywhere. But the fact
that we even have to have that conversation, I agree
that that part is probably the most frustrating thing I've
ever heard.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Kevin, I see will join us live from Boston at
five pm. Call right now if you want two free

Speaker 1 (35:10):
For you're disappointing to disrupt the workspace se Diego Sports
seven sixty America's fine.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
His sports station all right, San Diego Sports seven sixty,
John Schaeffer, Alan Sliewa, Kevin ac from Boston, Massachusetts coming
up at five pm. Kevin seen it first hand the
(35:41):
first seven games of the year. He's seen the good, bad,
and ugly. There's not a lot of good anymore Michael
King today. I don't know if we got into that
earlier or not. Did we get into the fact that
Michael King was It was lifted with two outs in
the sixth inning in a three to two game.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
I think in order, I think gotten out.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Solo shot, yeah, gotten out single.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
No single, then out, gotten out and then pulled, and
then he was lifted.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
So he's lifted with two outs for a lefty on
lefty situation. Mar Solo Meyer the Chula Vista product and
they bring the left Wandi Pearolta And honestly, that makes
a lot of sense. Now King had only thrown eighty
one pitches. It's easy in hindsight to go where I'm going.
What I'm going with is I promise you this King's
not thrilled to be lifted with two outs, and then
I know that it's off two outs, yeah, out, So
(36:32):
and then Parolta comes on. It's the second time of
a week. He's blown the opportunity. Lefty on lefty. He
did it to McGonagall the other day with Detroit. He
does it again here today to Meyer and again It's like,
it's easy to second guess when you're not winning. I
always said this about Mike Schuld, like where hate He
pulled a lot of the right strings. He knew how
to navigate his bullpen through three, four, five innings, and
(36:53):
it hasn't worked as swimmingly for the former pitcher reliever.
They're like this idea, Hey, he's a reliever, he's going
to know how to do it.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Maybe maybe he will, but so far not so good.
But let me let me play this out for you.
Let's say they keep Michael King in. Yeah, Wandi Pratta
doesn't give out, that give up that two run homer,
King solid finishes it out, ends up going six inning.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
For the Padres. They lose three to two. That's no better.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
So my point is that you're not wrong on Hey,
maybe you question decision, maybe you don't. I don't think this.
This isn't a crazy one. This isn't you know, And
that's my going lefty. Lefty is fine, it's all good.
Eighty one pitches, Okay, you're getting towards that territory.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
You had two balls hid in that inning very hard.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
The sas hit hard, that the solo shot, So I
can justify all that.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
I agree, But you lost three to two.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Again, as in, even if you don't give up that
two run homer, that doesn't change anything for the top
five in your order. That doesn't change anything for Tatis
and Machado and Jackson, Marilyn, Xander Bogarts and go down
the list. The issue with the Padres is, here's one
thing we know. If they go down, they're not coming back.
That's That's kind of a very simple one there. Put
(38:05):
it on a billboard and we had this. We had
this before the season started. Craig Samond was talking a
lot about how this season was about playing with the lead,
getting runs early. Look, how good our bullpen is. We
can play with the lead. It obviously changes kind of
the whole landscape of a game. Well, they're not jumping
in front of teams very often, and what does that
(38:27):
do to Does it help to have the best bullpen?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Is there?
Speaker 4 (38:32):
What's the advantage of having the best bullpen in Major
League Baseball and arguably the best closer in Major League baseball.
If you never have a lead, yes, you can kind
of keep games interesting. But at the end of the day,
these bats and just kind of going back to that
Michael King situation. Even if they got out of that inning,
they didn't score another one, they went through such a
stretch here where, especially specifically in this game.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
I think how many thirteen of fourteen and then thirteen
of fourteen sent down.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
With Machado getting a walk with two outs.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Yeah, I mean it's again we've we've beaten around this
this week on schaeffer AND's sleeve a week number one.
The WBC hangover idea, all of it is too simple.
Remember you had a caller earlier. It's like, maybe it's
the ownership situation now, WBC hangover too simplified. First year manager. No,
I think that. No, Machada's not struggling because Craig Stamon
(39:24):
is his manager. So I think it all goes back
to this. For me, maybe it's a Bernie Sanders article. Ye,
the reading keeps stretching everything. I think it just feels
like they need to wake up, which again is oversimplifying
it as well. I don't know what it's gonna take.
I don't think it's gonna take a lot, as in,
you're only a two game winning streak away from saying
(39:46):
they woke up. It takes winning Saturday and Sunday at Fenway,
or winning is it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday in Pittsburgh, Tuesday, Wenday, Thursday,
I don't even know. But you know, winning the first
two in Pittsburgh and you're gonna feel a lot better
about the Padres. So on one hand, I think there
are two game winnings streak away from everyone saying everything
is fine. On the other hand, your two losses in
Boston away from once again being back to houses burning,
(40:07):
sky is falling and the you know, the concern level
is through the roof. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
I think the issue is we just I feel like
we're just having the same conversation after every game, and
the conversation has more to do with, like, just pay
attention to what we've said over the last week. It
hasn't really changed. It could be the energy. It could
be how come they're getting off to a slow start.
It could be the bats, it could be some concerns
with the starting rotating. Nothing's really changed, like it's it
(40:35):
feels like it's the same problems that the Padres are having.
And you know, the hope is is that they just
don't put themselves in a position if they're twenty games
in and you start looking up and there you get
they're six. I don't think they're going to be this.
Let's say they're seven and thirteen twenty games in. The
concern is you just start digging yourself a hole. Think
(40:57):
of all the teams last season that were competitive in
the NL. You so you've got a lot of squads
and I think this is always going to be the
conversation with the Padres. They don't feel like a team
that if they fall six, seven, eight games below five hundred,
they're just going to storm back at some point and
something's going to change.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
So you just want to hover around five.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
Hundred right now, and clearly early on they haven't been
able to do that.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
And it's funny to your point, It's like, when they
fall behind, you don't feel good about their ability to
come back and win. And if they fall six, seven,
eight under five hundred, how confident would you be as
a Padres fan that they're going to come back and
you know, get back over five hundred. At some point.
We'll talk all about with Kevin I c Are Padres
Insider people, Jonas coming up at five pm right here,
Schaeffer and Slee with San Diego Sports seven sixty. Padres
(41:43):
play again tomorrow afternoon, by the way, game two of
their series. Randy Vasquez, he's the rotation bright spot at
this point. He was scoreless, I think at six innings
in his first outing of the year.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
So and again his role is continuing to become a necessity.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Yeah, of yeah, basically putting zero's up there. Yeah, and
because again you know, Joe Musk grove out. Yeah. Again,
we are kind of talking in circles on it because
it's like, what else can you possibly say about this team.
It's hard right now to be like, everything's going to
be fine, but maybe it will. I mean, I'm not
willing to say it's not going to be fine. It's
just hard for me to say, you know what, Let's
(42:22):
just give it ten days. Let's just look up in
ten days and see where they are, and everything's going
to be fine. Maybe it will be Maybe it'll be
fine in ten days. Maybe that's the solution. Just give
it more time. With another ten days, everything is going
to be fine, big.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday next week. So that'll be the
three game setting it Monday Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
By the way, Pittsburgh, you know, not to get ahead
of ourselves. They called up the top prospect in the sport. Today.
He had an RBI double in his debut. They win,
They've gotten off to a good enough start. They're four
and three overall. This was always We talked about this
the first twelve games. I talked about with You, talked
about it with Kevin, and a lot of people thought, hey,
go six and six there, and you're probably all right,
this isn't the easiest stretch of some of the pitching.
(42:59):
You're gonna say, Paul Skins. They never faced ball Skins
in his career. I'm taking six and six right now.
I mean, that would be unbelievable how his Sken's doing.
His second start? Was that today or was that in
the final game of the roach. I'm gonna look, okay,
you're good. Well it must not have been bad because
you would have seen it.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
Yeah, that's all you really talked about on opening day
was his terrible start. Probably yesterday.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
I want to know. I'm looking it up. And what
he did in the second start was he went five
innings one run in Cincinnati to win. So he gotta win.
Speaker 4 (43:35):
They want because if he wasn't on track and he
wanted to wait, Padres are coming up, we'll get everybody
back to pitch.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Well until I face san Diego. I'm holding off until
I face san Diego.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
He's looking at San Diego and saying he's got this
Squad's got the Giants back on track to taking care
of the Boston Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
Isn't it weird that in his first two seasons he
hasn't faced the Padres. Yeah, kind of weird. I mean
that's four series of games.
Speaker 5 (43:59):
Did actually something too?
Speaker 1 (44:01):
Was this?
Speaker 5 (44:03):
Don't quote me on this one?
Speaker 3 (44:04):
Was this Tatisa's first game at Fenway. It can't be right, right,
twenty twenty four? They at the universal schedule. I don't
know if he was healthy. Was he on the leg?
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Right?
Speaker 3 (44:18):
He had broken on Twitter?
Speaker 4 (44:19):
And it looked like he was just kind of looking
around and taking it all in if you want to
call it interesting, And it looked like I thought I
saw that's what it was.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
It was all right, Princes is interested the first game
at Fenway Park. All right, let's connect with Kevin, a

The Padres lost Game one of their series with the
Red Sox today at Benway five to two. Michael King
took the loss. Game two is tomorrow afternoon at one ten.
Randy Vasquez is going to pitch for the Padres and
it is going to be Tom Lee early on the

(00:47):
Luca is going to be out the final five games
of the regular season for the Lakers with a great
two hamstring strain. And in college basketball news, Duke freshman
Cameron Boozer is named AP Player of the Year. He
got fifty nine out of the sixty one votes from
the AP top twenty five voters. He joins Cooper flags
On Williamson, Anthony Davis, and Kevin Durant as the only
(01:08):
freshman to win the AP award, and each of them
went in number one or two in their respective drafts
that year, and despite all the Carolina rumors and coach
at Tommy Lloyd has agreed to a new deal to
stay in Arizona. He will be one of the five
highest bid coaches in all of college basketball. Choosing the
right home service company isn't just about fixing what's broken.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
It's Schaefer and Sliwa Sean Schaffer. When you think about
the city of San Diego, some of the worst ownership groups,
with the Clippers situation, with the Chargers situation, even the
Padres ownership history, has it always been smooth? Salist set
Diego Zone, Alan Slivah.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I felt like we went to a stage of baseball
where everything was so predetermined.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Why have a management? What's the point having out?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
All? Right? San Diego and Southern California, what's going on?
This is hour two of Shafer and Sliwa continue to
reaction to the p Andres falling to two and five. Overall,
they lose the opener in Boston today five two. If
you want to weigh in. Text us seven zero four
seven zero started with the word team. Our phone lines
(02:21):
are open. We've heard some from heard from some p
andre fans in the first hour of the show eight
seven seven seven six seven four seven sixty. I know
some people are in their cars right now. You're probably
frustrated with the offense, or the manager, or just the situation.
If you want to vent eight seven seven seven six
seven four seven sixty. That's the nice thing about what
we do. You can kind of just one percent, you know,
(02:43):
you can just talk through it.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
It's a big part of I think you and I
both somewhere in this, you know, growing up in sports
talk radio as in fans of sports radio.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
That's a big part of how you uh, how you
vent and and listen. I think on the conversation the
padres and if you do want to voice your opinion
on it, we'd love to hear from you. Guys, be specific,
What is what is bothering you the most? Is there
a player that's bothering you? Is it the manager, whatever
the case, It could be the energy of the team,
(03:14):
whatever it is. I mean, if if you ask me
that same question, John, I don't know if I could
identify one thing.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I mean, yes, I think we're all going to say
the bats.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I think if we just look at the stars for
the San Diego Padres, what have they done, They've done
nothing so long, They've done nothing so far, so that
that I think for a lot of people it's they
came off they started the season so quiet. I'll just
go back to this just because you had mentioned it
early on and this was only three games in, like
(03:42):
are they ready?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Like?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Are they like they ready to start the season?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Tatis and the critical at bat not challenging it would
have worked to his advantage, and you're like, wait is
this where is everybody here?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
That that's kind of I think the mood for a
lot of people.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I mean, Shaeffer and Sliwa have combined to hit the
same number of home runs as manning the shadow for
now the Tatishu, now they might have a better show
than we have, but we have been just as good offensively.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
At Tatisan Machado. It's a good show there. On six
six nine am a nine am.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
All right again, we're giving away tickets to see Charlie
Pooth at Viehouse. Are in on April twenty second, we've
got a family four pack of tickets to give away
to assessame place. Kevin Ac will join us in fifty
five minutes at five pm live from Boston. But right now,
let's get to this.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Good time for the Wrap presented by some Brero Mexican food.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Check out their website. It's some breromeex dot com.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
After last night, would you take OKAC or the field
to win it all?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
OKAYC or the field? Okay? See here the field? Okay?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
So really basically what you're saying is, are you taking
OKC four San Antonio, Boston, maybe Detroit, but I stop
after Boston. I'm gonna take the Oklahoma City Thunder completely
a great.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I think they'll do it in fewer overall games than
they did it last year. That's not saying a ton
they had multiple seven game series.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
But I think what you're saying is they'll probably dominate
this postseason.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah. I don't know if it's the sixteen and one
or fifteen to one Lakers, you know onegainst Philadelphia, but
I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't have a series
go longer than six games. For example, on their way
to a title.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I think that's very possible, especially franchises like Okase.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Once you get one, what's the pressure?
Speaker 4 (05:26):
There is no pressure now now, Actually you can probably
be the best version of yourself because I think a
lot of these teams or it always takes that first
one to kind of get it under even like I mean,
just throw a couple of teams. Are the Boston Celtics.
Is there a lot of pressure on bosses that well,
they already have one. Yes, there is some pressure, but
you got one. You don't have to worry about repeating
(05:47):
or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Not pred next question, what will.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Be your action if Ukon wins the national title?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I'll just stop watching college sports, you know, I'll stop
watching college basketball. Tull San Diego State's back. I'll be
upset about it. I'll be frustrated about it, and I
can't stand Dan Hurley. And I think a lot of
Aztec fans feel the same way. Actually, you don't have
to be an Aztec fan to not like Dan Hurley,
but you can fan No, you just have to watch
him for ten minutes and realize that obviously, Yukon taken
(06:17):
out San Diego State.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Two years in a row. I'm a huge every other
team fan.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Now, So if they win it all, it's three and
four years, you understand how ridiculous that is, especially in
cop it's one and done with all these variables at
every step of the journey. I mean, it's almost impossible
to envision. I don't think three and four has been
done since, like UCLA in the sixth. You might be
right whenever, he might be right under John Wooden. Yeah,
(06:43):
my reaction wouldn't be it wouldn't be great. I don't
want to see it, but I would not be shocked.
I would not be shocked because if they beat Illinois,
I assume their favorite over Illinois that halfinal four, I'm
making it up. Let's say three points right now all
of a sudden, Yeah, you're gonna be a dull against
Arizona or Michigan. But like, we just got wanted done,
(07:04):
and I feel like all the pressure at that points
on Michigan are Arizona, not on the University of Connecticut.
It's house money.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
After the early D eight, I think there's gonna be
pressure on Yukon because they're Yukon.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
There's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Pressure because it's Dan Hurley.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
There's gonna be expectations of still winning because it's them.
But if you're Michigan in Arizona, you're also going up against.
Don't think that you don't have pressure now in the
sense of that's Yukon over there, that's Dan Hurley over there.
I think you are looking on the other side and
intimidated a little bit, even though your record is your record,
even though they've been phenomenal so far in the tournament,
(07:37):
even though both of them beat San Diego State by
Michigan by forty and Arizona by twenty something, You're going
up against a school in a university that's had so
much success they'll be intimidated to go up against Yukon.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I actually really believe that. Here's a dumb point spread
for you that it has I don't know what written
all over it. Illinois is favored by a point and
a half against Connecticut. How do you let that game?
Illinois is favored by a point and a half? What
is Vegas telling us?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
That's very Do you remember yesterday when I said I'll
take the points, the nine and a half with the
younger and they won by forty three. So I'm gonna
go ahead and not contribute in this one.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yeah, that is a very interesting betting line. Next question, Well,
the Lakers win a title with Luca, not this year
in general, just in general in general.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Oh, that's a really good question. Let me give you
my thought process here.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I want to lean towards yes because of their new ownership, right,
because I do think their new ownership will get that
franchise back on track. But let me just say this
real quick about Luca. He's going to be twenty seven
years old, which is super young. He's walking into his prime.
He's had some injuries, he's had some hamstring issues. I mean,
you need the best version of Luka dancicch and you
(08:54):
got to make sure obviously he's healthy for a year.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
You got to hit on everything else.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
You're dealing with OKC and Antonio for the next seven years.
Wenby ain't going anywhere. Sha ain't going anywhere. Other teams
in the Western Conference will try to rebuild. If I
had to lean one way or the other, I'm going
to lean towards yes because of the new ownership. It's
gonna be really difficult in order to do that.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, I'm with you. I would put like the over
under for me is a half title like it's hard
to more than one is gonna be ridiculously impressive. It
really will. And I lean because it is the Lakers
franchise that over the next five years they'll put the
right team around him at least one time.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
But can I tell you if they didn't trade, or
if they didn't if they didn't sell, if you told
me the bust family still I would actually say no.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
So I think I lean only because of the new ownership.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Interesting and to your point at twenty seven, But I mean,
how old is Shay, how old is Wemby? I mean
there's other players similar or younger ages that have just
as many opportunities as Luca with the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Next question, now, remember we only have two hours. What's
the biggest issue with the Padres.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
They're new city connects, which I have any been seen?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Well, I see them.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I mean we've seen them. We think, yeah, yeah, I
think we're right right. I think they're solid. I like
them better than what they had.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I think, yeah, what what they had was so unique,
and I think I see it so so often around
the city. So I like that people were rocking it.
But I like the new ones as well. What's the
biggest issue with the padres can we is there really
a is it everyone going to have the same answer?
I think is everyone having a different answer.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I mean you could go more specific, if you could say,
like it's Manny Machado. I wouldn't say that, but I
mean if you wanted to get you could say the manager. Yeah,
I'm not going to say that.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
I think I just I gotta go with the offense.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I gotta go with the bats.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I mean I just called out every game they've played
so far just how poor their offense has been.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I think it's got to be the offense. Got to
be the bat. I mean, twenty one runs in seven
games for an off I mean the investment in the lineup,
most of this money is tied up in bats boards
Jackson Marril, You've tied up a lot of money in
your offense and you're not getting any productivity. Now it's
only seven games. Pull up their batting averages, like, look
(11:08):
at today's box score and look at what these players
are hitting. Nobody has done anything other than Ramone Loreano.
And I'm not just saying that. That's a factual statement.
No one is doing anything other than Ramon Loreano.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
I'm gonna give this to you.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Let's do it by average, so that way we can
start with the good and then just get more depressed
as we go down the list.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Ramon Loreano three eighteen is a Hall of Famer right
now for the San Diego Padres, right all right. Gavin Sheets,
who just started hitting basically in his lastast couple last
two games he started hitting at two point fifty yep
is the second highest batting average for the San Diego Padres,
only because he just started hitting two games ago.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Manny Machado two twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Bryce Johnson cracking the top five at two hundred. Okay,
Now I'll just kind of name off some of the
bigger names. Tatisa is batting two hundred, Jackson Merrill is
batting one eighty five, Jay Croneworth is batting one sixty seven.
Xander Bogart, who got I think all of his hits
in the first game, not literally, but close is batting
(12:17):
one forty three.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Freddy for mean, yeah, has he done anything?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I was I don't know how you felt coming into
the season, but I was excited about for mean point
zero seven one for Freddy for me.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Saying seventy one. Now they's had probably thirteen at bats.
But yeah, that's the Padres offense right now.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I mean, and if we equate that to dollar for average,
we're struggling on this one.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yeah, I mean, so we all agree I had a
dead money going on.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
It's the offense. I'll stand by the general point of
if you go to and five from July first, thirty eighth, yep,
you can live with it and stomach it. If a
player hits two hundred for seven games, of course that'll
inevitably happen over the one sixty two.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
And if it doesn't, when it does, then we can
we could also point to, hey, it was a bad start.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
It's just when you start, you know, it's just so
it's just right in front of your face when you
start like this, and I is Manny Machado gonna probably
have a productive year. Yeah. I'm not going to go
all and be like, what's wrong with Manny Machado. I've
watched this way too much over the last seven or
eight years. But I will say one player that I
just don't know is like a Fernando Tazzis Junior. I
(13:27):
just don't know who he is. I don't I love
Fernando Tatis Junior as a player, but to be fair,
you have to be very critical the twenty twenty one
and before Toddy to the player we've seen since Toddy.
I just I don't even know who he is as
a player right now, and it's it's frustrating.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
You know, the worst part about all this, You know
who we never and you obviously been doing this on
a daily basis a lot longer than I have.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
For San Diego.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
You've done a phenomenal job, obviously covering the padres, who
do most people bitch and complain about right out the gate?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Give me your list? What does it look like?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I mean, Mammy Man, he's always probably the first one
who's after that.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I mean Toddy. Yeah, it's not gonna be bogarts if
that's what you're going with this, I'm going with because
people have given up on him, right, because they don't
have any expectations. When you don't have.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
The worst that's the worst thing that and you're it's
because you're right. It's the worst thing is that everybody
has basically given up. When you told me yesterday, I
almost wanted to lose it, but you were right when
you said it, You're like, yeah, he's gonna go to Boston,
he's gonna get a standing and he did.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Tipped his cat or first at bats standing ovation. Yet
here like crickets when it comes to.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Place I had I had a I had a moment,
and I'm glad I didn't do it, and I almost
wanted to do it, just because of the situation when
he first became a San Diego padre and obviously he
didn't come out the gate and he hasn't been good
at all in the first three seasons as a padre.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
I wanted to buy Xander Jersey so bad.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I wanted to believe he was going to be a
version of himself that he was in Boston. I wanted
to believe that this dude was going to be this
just stud and come through and he's already won two
world says he's able to bring this veteran leadership and
a champion and a winner and all that.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Don't buy it did not buy it at THHG.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I did not buy it, just so everybody knows it.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Not buy it probably, but he gets But there is
this like, man, that's that's deflating to hear what you
said that he gets this. It's not even I don't
even know if free passes the right way to explain it.
But because you have no confidence in him that you
don't even give the energy on it. Why why should
(15:40):
why should someone pick up the phone and call about
Xander Bogart's and complain. They want to complain about Machado
and Tatis, they want to complain about other players. Maybe
there's some calls to come towards Jackson cronin words something
like that, but it's because they've given up on Xander.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I think it's the worst contract in Padre's history, which
is hard to say. Further than that, it's probably one
of the worst in the history of baseball. I don't
think it's the worst, like there's some terrible contracts pool.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Hoold Well, I'm saying worse than the worst.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
And what what is there something that's happened politically that
we could also know.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
It's just it's a it's a very bad deal and
I don't know how you get out from underneath it. Truthfully,
we don't have enough time to figure that out. Kevin A.
Sy will join us coming up at five pm. On
the other side, will switch gears momentarily in executive disappointing
to disrupt.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
The workspace San Diego Sports sixty, America's finest sports station.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Hi Schaeffer and Slawa Sandia is my mic. I think
my camera's been.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Frozen the whole time.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Maybe I don't even know I have my the way
I have my screen, Yeah, which is so disrespectful. If
I gotta be honest with you, I have another window opened.
And I didn't realize I was doing this. All I
had was half of my screen while I just saw me, Like,
how much of an ego do you.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Have to have?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
You're just watching yourself. You just have to watch yourself
the entire time.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
No, that's fine.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
And I didn't even look at you could have been
off the screen. You could have been off the camera.
You could have been and nothing. I gave you nothing
to help you with your not working.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Not really, you know the thing with technology there, I
am hold on, give me one.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Can we make me bigger than I love it? Can
I have a little bit?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Can I say this? Okay?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
No, first off, if you're not going to be on
camera right then you can need to we need to
change the lower third right now.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Too, to just say sli. I mean I love that.
I love either you're coming or you're not. If I'm
off one day, it's it's sliwa. If you're off one day,
it's Shaefer. That's what we should do with this. The
name of the show changes. Put me on the side.
I just want to be on like the lower like
lower part. If I'm not here. Let me say this
about technology. It's great, Like I'm I'm pro internet. Like
if I was running for Congress, I'd run on a
(17:56):
pro Internet platform, like I like the Internet pro What
were people doing?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
You and I?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I don't know how old you are, but we're similar age.
I assume I remember growing up and like we would
like play you actually go out and do it like
I didn't. Like if I didn't know something, I would
like go to the book and like find the answer.
I wouldn't just like ask chet GPT or my phone
like everything except I didn't know it. I just didn't
know it. Now it's like you, everything is at your fingertips,
(18:20):
literally at your fingertips. So again, I'm pro internet. I'm
not going to run on the like anti internet.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Platform because I was so funny to say pro internet,
but here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
When it doesn't work. Isn't it funny how we did?
It's such a first world issue. It's like I'll be
it like I'll be in an arena. I'm like, Internet's down.
It's a joke for like five seconds and I like
start throwing and that sure it works on my phone.
Have you ever had this?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
And everybody's had it, whatever you have at home, Cox, cable.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Se whatever.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
When it goes out all of a sudden, there's this like, wait,
why isn't the internet? And then you see this red
Oh it's the one on your modem or whatever the
case is, like the world's gonna end, Like why don't
you just, I don't know, outside, go for a walk
or something.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Can you can you take fifteen minutes?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I know we live in San Diego.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
And then there's you get a text from whichever down
services down? You know what I say, when I know
the service is down, you don't have to tell me.
I'm looking around there's no service. Yeah, it's just is
your service down?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Anyway? I don't know that I'm back anyway. It's a
long way of saying I'm back. We don't have a
ton of time to react to this, But there was
an executive order issue today by the White House related
to the future of college athletics. I think by and large,
fans of college sports probably want to see the executive
order come to fruition, so to speak. It'll be challenged
(19:38):
immediately legally everywhere, every state, believe me. But the premise
of it is this, if you're a college athlete, you
can transfer once. Okay, you can transfer a second time
with a college degree for your last year as well,
So you actually could get a second transfer without sitting out.
But if you wanted to go, for example, your first
(19:58):
year at a duke, second year to San Diego State,
that's permissible. But if your third year now you wanted
to go to Nevada, no, you got to sit out.
Now you get the one free transfer. The free transfer
means no sitting out, So you have to sit out
for one year, one year, one red shirted a year. Now.
The only exception is let's say go duke my first
year San Diego State, years two, three, and four, I
(20:20):
get a degree from San Diego State. They also in
this executive order is something called five and five. You
have five years to play five seasons. This is a
big push in college athletics because now you have guys
playing like seven years. They're not saying listen, if you
red shirt one year, if you blow out your knee,
you got five years. That's all you have. If you
miss a year because of a knee.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
If I could be honest with you, that sounds reason,
sounds reason, that sounds fair.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
If you're healthy, you can play five seasons and your
fifth season again, if you have a degree from San
Diego State, now you can go to North Carolina and
you don't have to sit there.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
You're injured for two years, you still got three years
of eligibility total.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, I mean truthfully that this to me is not political.
This is all about college athletics. I think the general
idea of kind of pulling back the reins on freedom
of movement, name, image, and likeness revshare again. I think
we all understand players should be compensated. That's not changing.
I have no issue with it, but there should be
some like parameters or restrictions probably put in place. They
(21:14):
went from nothing to everything really quickly, and it feels
like there should be some parameters put in place.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, I think everybody agrees that we don't know what
college basketball, college football is.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
We don't know the landscape anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
We think that there is no It's.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Like you went, you had to drive twenty five miles
per hour on the freeway, and now it's like you
can go one hundred and eighty and nobody's stopping you
can we find a middle ground? And I know you
and I will try to look at this through this
the lens of San Diego State University. What could benefit
san Diego State? And I'm not here to I don't
know all the nuances of it. You know, part of
(21:52):
kind of my own personal education. As I come and
I take this role, I'm going to learn a lot
more about the nuances that is a benefit to San
Diego State what hurts San Diego State University. But I
think where everybody could agree is let's get some rules
in college athletics.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I don't know what the rules are.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
You know, you want to go spend five million dollars
on a player, you can do so you want to
leave if a player just wants to, it's almost like
you know you're trying to. You're trying to. Somebody is
an employee at a company and every single year he
has five different companies that are coming after him, and
(22:34):
every single year he's just kind of holding all these
companies a hostage, and it's really who's the highest taker.
You can't build a culture at that company. So it's
a it's confusing. I hope it changes, and I don't
know if this is the solution. But nothing you just
told me sounded absurd. That sounded reasonable, That sounded fair.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, more reasonable than what's playing out right now. I
think most fans of college athletics feel that way.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Now.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
When your favorite team's on your watching, When Georgia football
is playing, everyone's watching, you know, Alabama's playing, people are
watching the Final Four. They almost like put it to
the side as the competition is playing out, but everyone understands,
like behind the scenes, like Yukon is playing in a
Final four, yet three players in three days could be
in the transfer port. The whole thing is just it's
(23:20):
just a mess, all right. On the other side, I
think it's to some extent it's a mess, is how
I feel about him. On the other side, let's give
away Charlie put four six and eight dollars Bigie deals.

is in Boston. Are you I said it was pro Internet.
(25:25):
Are you pro? You're probably anti Boston would be my guest,
just the Lakers Celtics rivalry. But are you pro Boston
as a city? Oh, Boston's a great it's a good city.
Is phenomenal city. Know, It's funny, two years ago around
this time, San Diego State was in a Swiss sixteen
in Boston. It's you come it was two years ago
right around in Boston. That's right. It was opening home
opener for the Padres. Was that weekend or that day even,
(25:47):
But it isn't good. Boston's a great city, but it
is a great baseball.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I'm a little you know, there's certain markets I have
some jealousy of.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Now.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I hate the city from a sports perspective, but I
hate the city more from a sports perspective.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
I guess I don't care anymore. But the Patriots and
the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I hated that.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
And then this year when the Chargers played the Patriots,
You're like, I'm like, I've never loved Rabel Moore and
the Patriots, So yeah, it's I flipped.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Just reminded me of something. We'll give it. We'll give
away the Charlie put tickets. Coming up, there was this
is a crazy story. Uh huh, the crazy story. There's
a bill introduced in the Senate to protect franchises from relocating.
This was in the UT. This was in the UT,
and the way it was phrased was like the most
(26:40):
headline ever. It was like, new bill introduced in Core
could keep the Padres in San Diego? Like what do
you mean? Could keep the Padres in San Diego? Wasn't
the premise that if a team is being if a
team wants to be relocated, they have to wait a
year to potentially sell it for.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
They got away a year, and I think to give
an opportunity for a lot of ownership groups to come in
to keep the franchise local.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
So, okay, So the comp would be, let's say, within
the last ten years. If this bill existed, before the
San Diego Chargers could move to LA, they would have
to offer up the franchise to a buyer. For one year.
Before they could move from San Diego to LA, they'd
have to offer up the franchise to a suitable buyer.
(27:27):
That's what's now been introduced in Congress. Does not mean,
by the way, though.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Here's the exact title, okay, and it's in the business
section of the UT.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
It says US.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Senator Bernie Sanders introduces bill that could keep the Padres
in San Diego. That's how you read it, right, It could, Oh,
it could. And the moment I read that, and it
says also kind of a subtitle here, the proposed law
would likely have kept the Chargers in San Diego. Can
I I'll tell you this when I hear that there's
(27:57):
even a discussion. We've had this conversation about how important
new ownership is going to be in San Diego, that
they're everything. And here's somebody, Joe Lacum who changed completely
changed the franchise of the Golden State Warriors as in
other than the Clippers, one of the least successful basketball
franchises right in the NBA lakeup comes in.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Some people want to give him credit. Some people say, oh,
well you got Steph Curry this. No, I'm gonna give
the owner credit. I mean, every one should get credit.
They won four NBA championships.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Here's somebody that has bred a winner up in the Bay,
took them from Oakland to San Francisco and built the chase.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Is that the move? Yeah? The chase, yes, obviously has been.
But was it going from Oakland to San Francisco? People
just like that's fine? But isn't that is that fine?
Speaker 5 (28:45):
You know, you could look.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
At Santa Clarita of where they or Santa Clara right
where they ended up moving the Niners.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
I think there's probably a big base. Let's just put
it this way. If you were a Warriors fan before
and there's still it's not like you have two franchises
that you're competing with, So technically it's still kind of
representing everybody. But the point I'm trying to make is
if I told you you have an ownership group that
could potentially buy the Podres. He's having a lot of
(29:15):
success somewhere else, he wants to win. He's highly competitive, this, that, this,
and then there's a story that comes with it. It's
like if you remember the story at one point about
the tie to Oakland and.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Would they move the podjand what put that in print?
That's what my point.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Instantly when I saw that, I'm like, Okay, well Lake
of then's got to be out of the mix here.
And I'm I'm the one that values ownership more than
anything else.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Most people should.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
But just even having a sentence or an article that
that's even in the cards, it's like, well, then now
we got to take out this owner that could be
great for the Podres.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
But here's the thing, I agree with you, and even
conversing about it feels kind of wrong. But then again,
we're in San Diego, where franchises have gotten up and moved.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I mean, they have a lot more franchises that have
moved than a state.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
And here's the other thing. The UT recently wrote an
article I think Jennifer van Grove, who does like their
business writing, she writes some really detailed pieces and in
some of her reporting and I don't have in front
of me, but the premise was like, oh, I mean
the Padres least only protects this franchise for like a
twenty thirty or something like that. So yeah, they're only guaranteed.
Like the contractual obligation of the Padres to this ballpark
(30:27):
is a very short window. It wasn't dozens of years
or tens of years. It was like not like five years.
Like wait, what so again, I have to assume a
record sale. A big portion of the reason why you
would get that figure is because of the passionate fan support,
because of Petco Park, because of San Diego as a market.
That to me is why I give you one other one.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
On top of that, part of it is also probably.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
The reason there's only one professional team of the top
four here.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Which makes it a unicorn of a city. Because we've
talked about this, the only city in America that only
he has a baseball team among the big four is
San Diego, California. The only city in America other than Sacramento.
But that's fake because the A's are moving the only
city in America.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Yeah, and listen, my hoping goal is.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Obviously this changes, and there's another professional team that eventually
comes to San Diego, whether that's an NFL team, if
that's unlikely, go NHL. If that's unlike going to You
got to get as many professional teams as you possibly can.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I do feel like there's a lot of opportunity in
San Diego.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
But to even have the conversation that the Padres could
potentially move, just again, I go back to that Lake
the story, the ty with Joe lakeup and everything else.
It's like, my god, if there was another gut punch
like that, I give up. And a lot of people
have given up, but I, oh yeah, and I have not.
But I'm just saying that that's that can't happen.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
The first question at the press conference, which by the way,
could be this month. They could be sold this month.
There could be a press conference this month. I mean,
Kevin Acy is told that old Jonas at five PM.
First question, First question, You're committing to keeping the franchise
in San Diego for generations to come right, yes or no.
I don't want to hear an answer. I don't want
to Oh, we love this ballparking, we loved No. No,
(32:14):
it's a yes or no question. They're like, yes.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
How is this even a topic? Can you imagine that?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Well, I mean there's something like articles. I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
The fact that that has to even be asked, I know,
but that that's also comes with the history of this city.
That's why so many people I mean, yoh, yesterday, we
were having a conversation because I forget how the.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Sonics came up, but we we we were.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Talking about the Seattle Super Sonics and they almost moved
here at one point, by the way, in like the eighties.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
I don't know if they if if they almost did,
but but we were talking this the conversation came up
about the Sonics.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Yeah, and we're having a conversation. I think maybe what
we were saying was.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
You can look at Seattle was such a great basketball
market and now you know, they've been gone. I think
we're talking about the Oklahoma City Thunder and everything else,
that they were such a great A lot of NBA
fans remember Seattle as a phenomenal NBA market, the Seattle SuperSonics,
and it's going to go full three sixty because it
does look like the NBA is going to expand and
(33:18):
Seattle's going to get a team back. And then you
and I kind of went in this, well, Seattle can
eventually get a team back. Is there an opportunity down
the road where I know, we just used the Chargers
as an example because they left, But are we sitting
here ten years from now or fifteen years from now
and the Chargers were to come back, or there was
an expansion in the NFL and a professional team came
(33:38):
back to San Diego. That's I think the tie that
we are looking at. But of course everybody's very sensitive
of the topic. Of course they are oh yeah, no.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
So when you see a title that's yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
At US Sentinel, Bernie Sanders introduces bill that could keep
the Podras in San Diego, You're like, what the.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
F Honestly, I had said, once I learned the podjoser
for sale, Go find the right owner that's committed to way.
But now it's Trump that is what you have to stay.
I would take that. I would take the second most
committed owner that guaranteed staying for fifty five years over
the most committed owner. That's noncommittal.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
And you got a freaking city that's you can't get
any more desperate than San Diego of wanting to win something,
and here we are having to talk about what's you know,
obviously the conversation being about keeping the team in San Diego.
I don't think they'll go anywhere. I think most people
(34:35):
think they're not going to go anywhere. But the fact
that we even have to have that conversation, I agree
that that part is probably the most frustrating thing I've
ever heard.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Kevin, I see will join us live from Boston at
five pm. Call right now if you want two free

Speaker 1 (35:10):
For you're disappointing to disrupt the workspace se Diego Sports
seven sixty America's fine.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
His sports station all right, San Diego Sports seven sixty,
John Schaeffer, Alan Sliewa, Kevin ac from Boston, Massachusetts coming
up at five pm. Kevin seen it first hand the
(35:41):
first seven games of the year. He's seen the good, bad,
and ugly. There's not a lot of good anymore Michael
King today. I don't know if we got into that
earlier or not. Did we get into the fact that
Michael King was It was lifted with two outs in
the sixth inning in a three to two game.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
I think in order, I think gotten out.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Solo shot, yeah, gotten out single.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
No single, then out, gotten out and then pulled, and
then he was lifted.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
So he's lifted with two outs for a lefty on
lefty situation. Mar Solo Meyer the Chula Vista product and
they bring the left Wandi Pearolta And honestly, that makes
a lot of sense. Now King had only thrown eighty
one pitches. It's easy in hindsight to go where I'm going.
What I'm going with is I promise you this King's
not thrilled to be lifted with two outs, and then
I know that it's off two outs, yeah, out, So
(36:32):
and then Parolta comes on. It's the second time of
a week. He's blown the opportunity. Lefty on lefty. He
did it to McGonagall the other day with Detroit. He
does it again here today to Meyer and again It's like,
it's easy to second guess when you're not winning. I
always said this about Mike Schuld, like where hate He
pulled a lot of the right strings. He knew how
to navigate his bullpen through three, four, five innings, and
(36:53):
it hasn't worked as swimmingly for the former pitcher reliever.
They're like this idea, Hey, he's a reliever, he's going
to know how to do it.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Maybe maybe he will, but so far not so good.
But let me let me play this out for you.
Let's say they keep Michael King in. Yeah, Wandi Pratta
doesn't give out, that give up that two run homer,
King solid finishes it out, ends up going six inning.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
For the Padres. They lose three to two. That's no better.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
So my point is that you're not wrong on Hey,
maybe you question decision, maybe you don't. I don't think this.
This isn't a crazy one. This isn't you know, And
that's my going lefty. Lefty is fine, it's all good.
Eighty one pitches, Okay, you're getting towards that territory.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
You had two balls hid in that inning very hard.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
The sas hit hard, that the solo shot, So I
can justify all that.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
I agree, But you lost three to two.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Again, as in, even if you don't give up that
two run homer, that doesn't change anything for the top
five in your order. That doesn't change anything for Tatis
and Machado and Jackson, Marilyn, Xander Bogarts and go down
the list. The issue with the Padres is, here's one
thing we know. If they go down, they're not coming back.
That's That's kind of a very simple one there. Put
(38:05):
it on a billboard and we had this. We had
this before the season started. Craig Samond was talking a
lot about how this season was about playing with the lead,
getting runs early. Look, how good our bullpen is. We
can play with the lead. It obviously changes kind of
the whole landscape of a game. Well, they're not jumping
in front of teams very often, and what does that
(38:27):
do to Does it help to have the best bullpen?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Is there?
Speaker 4 (38:32):
What's the advantage of having the best bullpen in Major
League Baseball and arguably the best closer in Major League baseball.
If you never have a lead, yes, you can kind
of keep games interesting. But at the end of the day,
these bats and just kind of going back to that
Michael King situation. Even if they got out of that inning,
they didn't score another one, they went through such a
stretch here where, especially specifically in this game.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
I think how many thirteen of fourteen and then thirteen
of fourteen sent down.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
With Machado getting a walk with two outs.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Yeah, I mean it's again we've we've beaten around this
this week on schaeffer AND's sleeve a week number one.
The WBC hangover idea, all of it is too simple.
Remember you had a caller earlier. It's like, maybe it's
the ownership situation now, WBC hangover too simplified. First year manager. No,
I think that. No, Machada's not struggling because Craig Stamon
(39:24):
is his manager. So I think it all goes back
to this. For me, maybe it's a Bernie Sanders article. Ye,
the reading keeps stretching everything. I think it just feels
like they need to wake up, which again is oversimplifying
it as well. I don't know what it's gonna take.
I don't think it's gonna take a lot, as in,
you're only a two game winning streak away from saying
(39:46):
they woke up. It takes winning Saturday and Sunday at Fenway,
or winning is it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday in Pittsburgh, Tuesday, Wenday, Thursday,
I don't even know. But you know, winning the first
two in Pittsburgh and you're gonna feel a lot better
about the Padres. So on one hand, I think there
are two game winnings streak away from everyone saying everything
is fine. On the other hand, your two losses in
Boston away from once again being back to houses burning,
(40:07):
sky is falling and the you know, the concern level
is through the roof. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
I think the issue is we just I feel like
we're just having the same conversation after every game, and
the conversation has more to do with, like, just pay
attention to what we've said over the last week. It
hasn't really changed. It could be the energy. It could
be how come they're getting off to a slow start.
It could be the bats, it could be some concerns
with the starting rotating. Nothing's really changed, like it's it
(40:35):
feels like it's the same problems that the Padres are having.
And you know, the hope is is that they just
don't put themselves in a position if they're twenty games
in and you start looking up and there you get
they're six. I don't think they're going to be this.
Let's say they're seven and thirteen twenty games in. The
concern is you just start digging yourself a hole. Think
(40:57):
of all the teams last season that were competitive in
the NL. You so you've got a lot of squads
and I think this is always going to be the
conversation with the Padres. They don't feel like a team
that if they fall six, seven, eight games below five hundred,
they're just going to storm back at some point and
something's going to change.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
So you just want to hover around five.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
Hundred right now, and clearly early on they haven't been
able to do that.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
And it's funny to your point, It's like, when they
fall behind, you don't feel good about their ability to
come back and win. And if they fall six, seven,
eight under five hundred, how confident would you be as
a Padres fan that they're going to come back and
you know, get back over five hundred. At some point.
We'll talk all about with Kevin I c Are Padres
Insider people, Jonas coming up at five pm right here,
Schaeffer and Slee with San Diego Sports seven sixty. Padres
(41:43):
play again tomorrow afternoon, by the way, game two of
their series. Randy Vasquez, he's the rotation bright spot at
this point. He was scoreless, I think at six innings
in his first outing of the year.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
So and again his role is continuing to become a necessity.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Yeah, of yeah, basically putting zero's up there. Yeah, and
because again you know, Joe Musk grove out. Yeah. Again,
we are kind of talking in circles on it because
it's like, what else can you possibly say about this team.
It's hard right now to be like, everything's going to
be fine, but maybe it will. I mean, I'm not
willing to say it's not going to be fine. It's
just hard for me to say, you know what, Let's
(42:22):
just give it ten days. Let's just look up in
ten days and see where they are, and everything's going
to be fine. Maybe it will be Maybe it'll be
fine in ten days. Maybe that's the solution. Just give
it more time. With another ten days, everything is going
to be fine, big.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday next week. So that'll be the
three game setting it Monday Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
By the way, Pittsburgh, you know, not to get ahead
of ourselves. They called up the top prospect in the sport. Today.
He had an RBI double in his debut. They win,
They've gotten off to a good enough start. They're four
and three overall. This was always We talked about this
the first twelve games. I talked about with You, talked
about it with Kevin, and a lot of people thought, hey,
go six and six there, and you're probably all right,
this isn't the easiest stretch of some of the pitching.
(42:59):
You're gonna say, Paul Skins. They never faced ball Skins
in his career. I'm taking six and six right now.
I mean, that would be unbelievable how his Sken's doing.
His second start? Was that today or was that in
the final game of the roach. I'm gonna look, okay,
you're good. Well it must not have been bad because
you would have seen it.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
Yeah, that's all you really talked about on opening day
was his terrible start. Probably yesterday.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
I want to know. I'm looking it up. And what
he did in the second start was he went five
innings one run in Cincinnati to win. So he gotta win.
Speaker 4 (43:35):
They want because if he wasn't on track and he
wanted to wait, Padres are coming up, we'll get everybody
back to pitch.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Well until I face san Diego. I'm holding off until
I face san Diego.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
He's looking at San Diego and saying he's got this
Squad's got the Giants back on track to taking care
of the Boston Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
Isn't it weird that in his first two seasons he
hasn't faced the Padres. Yeah, kind of weird. I mean

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
