00:00Look, the Padres have been on fire.
00:06After the All-Star break, what's their record, like 23-6, something crazy like that, right?
00:11They've got the best record in baseball after the All-Star break, the best record in baseball.
00:16The only issue is, and I say issue, Browner, you've been saying it all along, just get
00:21in.
00:22I'm with you.
00:23I got it.
00:24The only issue is that as hot as the Padres have been, as great as they've been, as much
00:28as we've wanted them to go on a run like this, where you won 23 of 30 games, not win two,
00:35lose two, win one, lose two, win two, lose one, drop a series, drop a series, win a series.
00:41We've been asking them for a run of this magnitude.
00:4423-6 is unofficially the number since the All-Star break.
00:48We can actually fact check.
00:51But we've been waiting for a run like this.
00:54Little did we know that a run like this by the Padres would be essentially equaled by
00:59Arizona, and the same goes for the Dodgers.
01:04For all the talk about all the injuries to the Dodgers, they get a guy to come back like
01:10Max Muncy two nights ago.
01:11Now Mookie Betts is back.
01:14Freddie Freeman is back.
01:17You're seeing a guy like Jason Hayward come up huge last night.
01:19By the way, the Dodgers protected Walker Bueller because he wasn't good at all, but
01:24he didn't get shelled to where he gave up like 10 runs, and they're like, hey, protect
01:28the bullpen, just leave him out there.
01:29I mean, he gave up three runs.
01:32So even though Walker Bueller wasn't good, his teammates covered for him, and while the
01:38Padres have been ridiculous, the Dodgers have been just as good.
01:44Yeah, I just got a little bit of a USC under Lincoln Riley vibes to them.
01:49What do I mean?
01:50You're going to just have to outscore him because the pitching is not great.
01:54Defense isn't great, but their lineup is pretty ridiculous.
01:57I mean, if Otani has a down night, oh, here comes Mookie Betts.
02:00If Mookie has a down night, oh, here comes Freddie Freeman and going on and on and on
02:04freaking Jason Hayward hitting three run home runs late in the game.
02:07So I just think that the Dodgers, they know they're not going to shut most teams down,
02:13but they can probably outscore most teams, which is what they've done all year.
02:17I can't sit here and and proclaim them to be hot or on fire of some sort because when
02:24they started the season, that's what them playing at their best looks like.
02:28Now they're two games ahead of the Padres, who was double digit game is behind the idea.
02:35So this idea that they're playing well just doesn't compute with the with the numbers,
02:39brother.
02:40Sorry.
02:41No, no, no.
02:42It was actually here.
02:43Well, they're they're 19 and 11 since the All-Star break.
02:46Right.
02:47So so they're not as hot as the Padres, but they also had that built in lead.
