Confidence without compromise. Book ahead at supercuts.com. Okay, post-game wrap time. And Mike, this was just another laugher. Sure. The way we like it. You can have a little torture on it. Come on. Why make it easy? With the eighth inning and the ninth inning, we're a little stressful there. Hey, Joe Kunl. You come to the Giants, you get fitted for a uniform. You got a chance to close a ball game. And he did a really good job tonight. It was his eighth career.

1:00Yeah, seventh this year. And you know what? I think this is the land of opportunity for a lot of people. You come to the Giants right now. You're a young player. You're going to get a badge. You're going to get exposure. You're going to show or be able to show people what you can do. It's the same thing in the pen. And the thing about the bullpen is you don't have to be a rookie to oppress. I mean, you can get still in an organization. You come over to a new place, a new opportunity, a new role. And it's like you're starting over. It's a reset button. And you can completely redefine yourself and go right up the ladder. You know, among other things, I mean, watch this guy pitch. He's got a lot of movement. He throws hard. You can see why teams like him. I like the fact that in the last couple of years, the raise have given him a chance. And the brewers have given him a chance. To me, it's like if those organizations are circling you as a guy who we see some things that we really like. Those teams aren't wrong very often. They kind of got the secret size, right? They kind of do.

2:00What I liked is he wasn't afraid just to throw a fastball right down the middle of the plate to get a strike. No, you know, sometimes those go out of the park and we're going, what did he do that for? But you got to have the guts to do it. And he did tonight. So good for him. I like to see him out there more. Yeah. Well, I feel like we will, based on tonight. Why not? But seven saves this year in eight save opportunities. So, well, what happened? Why is he not with those other teams? I had four of them with the athletics up in Sacramento and two with the brewers. But anyway, he certainly got the stuff you want in a closer. 98 mile an hour sinker. And Mark Simon sent Dave and note that how much movement he's got. He's got almost as more movement than anybody with a ball throwing that hard.

3:00It's got five pitches. I mean, most guys out of the pen to have two, three marks in here. Not many throw five. It tells you that he was a starter at some point in his career. And he understands the fastball. But hey, it's opportunity. And right now, I think that has defined the giant season because all these guys are playing, not just for this September, they're playing for next year. Well, Mark Simon sent me something too. What do you send, you guys? Most two out home runs in the major leagues. Giants, Cubs, Reds, Yankees, 64. That's kind of cool. Yeah, me and Mark are tight. I like that. Two out home runs. Those are good. I don't think he didn't send us that info, did he? Oh, he said it today. Yeah, it just wasn't worthy enough for Dave. You know what Mark Simon sends me? With the little bird left on the rock. Thanks, Mark. And we'll pick players right after this.

If you're heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, you can arrest most people don't think about until it's too late. Summer colds linger and can turn into sinus infections at last for weeks. Getting sick right before vacation can derail everything. And we are traveling, finding a doctor, and pharmacy is stressful. That's why I ordered medical emergency kit. It's like having an emergency care and a pharmacy right at home.

I would love to go first and I'm going to take the starting picture. Yeah. He was great. You know what I was telling Mike, you look at his numbers and the first thing that jumps out it shows the losses. And then the number of starts. So he has to be really pleased with the number of starts. The losses, you know, you'll get better, but he goes out there every day. So good for him. He's pushing way past his career high in innings pitch.

6:06He's he's doing a really good job of building some, I think, sweat equity for next year. He's going to be ready to go. Building arm strength. No question. And this time next year he'll he won't come out of that game because he was in complete command. The thing that has been the biggest challenge for him this year is maintaining his temper because he's so competitive that when he walked out, that when he walks a guy to lead off in any or he doesn't make a pitch he wants to make, he gets so mad at himself that it carries over to the next pitch. He's maturing. And tonight I thought was a great example of it. Fourth inning for whatever reason has been his Achilles heel. But that was one of his best innings tonight. And so was the fifth. He backed it up. I mean, he went right through him. Yeah. And that's what he could do. So I mean, I have to give a guy a time to learn these things. And he's definitely learned a lot this year. And now he's starting to play the things he's learned. Good pick. Good pick. Nice pick. Great.

7:06All right. All right. My turn. I'm going with the red hot Giants power hitter Christian costs. He's streaky. He's hitting home runs. He's hit four and 40 at bats or something like that. He's streaky that guy. And he picked it. He did. He played really good defense tonight. Really good. And when he hits home run, he's under free to smile. He smiles all the time. I love it. He looks like he's having a great time out there playing again. Christian cost. Good pick. He's my guy. That a bit great. Good pick. John, who you got tonight? Excellent. Well, I'm going to go with the Bryce Eldridge. He hit the opposite field home. Not that many left-handed hitters go that deep to that part of the ballpark here. And he keeps doing impressive things. I'm going out. Did you also had a walk later on? So we're seeing a lot of those too. I mean, they pitch him like he's a 10-year veteran. And I mean, they have much behind him. I mean, they don't want him to beat him, but he's still doing it.

8:10So he's my guy. So impressive. Very good pick. OK. Well, I'm going to acknowledge Rafael Devers, because all we've been talking about is his bat. And tonight, he made some really nice picks over their first base. I thought he was exceptional defensively. But I'm not picking him. I'm going to take the bullpen, Sam Martine, Seymour, and Kunl, who got it done. And they protected a two-nothing lead, and they cashed it in. And they assured that they're going to win the series. And now, once again, the Giants have a chance to get a sweep, which would be their second of the year. Correct. Depending on how you counted all up, but we're going with second of the year. I'm going with it. One, three in Atlanta. That's a sweep. That's what I think. They swept it land at twice. Two different sweeps. Yes. A one-game sweep. Yeah, it's kind of two-game sweep. It's a split of the sweeps. What are we talking about? To Lorrow. It was the statistical people in charge of stats, right? What's that? The Alliance.

9:10The Alliance Bureau. They said the two games in Atlanta, that was a series of sweep. And when they had the one-game makeup, that's a one-game series. I think they need to look up the definition of the series, though. I'm going with that. And Blade did well tomorrow. So it's an important start for him. He's had a couple of hole in a row that haven't gone so well. So I know he's eager to get back out there. And we're eager to get back out there. Plus tomorrow, they can play it like it's a playoff game. Because they have a day off Thursday, which they desperately need. But they got a lot of guys down there who could pitch. Yeah, that's true. Empty the bullpen. Go for it. Go for it. I'm going with that. Crook says it's a playoff game tomorrow. Yeah. It's the Cardinals. Game 7, tomorrow. Don't miss it. Take your greenies. Let's go.
