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.
