00:00And the Cardinals, Scotty, had the long ball working last night against the Cubbies.

00:06A bunch of homers for them.

00:08Burleson hit one.

00:09But Lars Newtbar got things kicked off.

00:12FanDuel Sportsnet early on in this one.

00:15High fly ball to right field.

00:17Pretty well hit.

00:18Tuck and back.

00:19And it's long gone.

00:22Two-run homer, Lars Newtbar.

00:24Yeah, the Burleson and Donovans were two-run shots.

00:30Gorman hit one as well.

00:32Four home runs.

00:33Season best for the Cardinals.

00:36And Lieber Torre, I thought he pitched well.

00:41Allowed two runs on six.

00:42It struck out five.

00:44And the Cubs have lost four of five all of a sudden.

00:48I actually saw a stat today about the Cubs.

00:52And the Cubs have had a very good season.

00:54There's no doubt about that.

00:55They have smashed all the bad teams.

00:59Smashed them.

01:01They are a couple games under .500 against teams with a winning record.

01:07So teams that have, when the Cubs have played good teams, Scotty.

01:10Now, remember, they did beat the Dodgers those couple times earlier this year.

01:14But other than that, they've been a basically under .500 team against the best teams in baseball.

01:19But they've made their living beating up on everybody else.

01:22Which is what you're supposed to do.

01:23I get it.

01:24But they haven't been great against the other good teams.

01:28Well, I mean, that's something you should take note of as a better.

01:31When they play bad teams, bet on them.

01:33And when they play good teams, like last night, I think the Cardinals have been pretty decent, you know, at the very least.

01:41And I bet on them.

01:42And I got them at .110 yesterday.

01:44I think the Cubs were minus .109 or something like that.

01:47But, you know, I cashed it.

01:50Angels beat Boston last night .9-5.

01:53That was a wild game.

01:54There was a ton of runs scored early in it.

01:56Walker Buehler's ERA is like .7 now.

01:58That has been a disaster.

01:59It was .5-3 in the first.

02:02Yeah, it was .5-3 in the first inning.

02:04Zach Netto, 3-4.

02:06He led off the bottom of the first with a homer for the Angels as well, as he has gotten things going for them.

02:12The Nationals beat the Padres 10-6 last night.

02:15A couple of significant homers for us in this game.

02:19But this guy has been on an absolute tear.

02:22We got to give a little hat tip to the Wood doctor today on Masson.

02:26Wood crushes one to deep right.

02:28If it's fair, it's gone.

02:32Fair ball.

02:33It's out of here.

02:35Just inside the foul pole, James Wood launches again on this road trip.

02:41Well, I mean, how long did it take the guy to figure out that it was a homerun?

02:46I mean, I went out and got a beer.

02:48It was still.

02:50It was like, it was right down that right field line.

02:55It was near the pole.

02:56I guess they had to take like a little bit of a look at it.

02:59But Wood has been unbelievable.

03:03Bell hit one too, right?

03:04I think he hit one.

03:06He hit the highest pitch I've seen that was hit for a homer in like the last 25.

03:11It was above his head and he just went up and he cranked it up into the left field upper deck.

03:17Big homer, a little add-on for Tatis in the ninth was big for me.

03:22Hit a little three-leg lotto for me last night.

03:24So congrats, thank you to Fernando Tatis Jr.

03:27We thought he'd hit one.

03:28We were like Tatis, Manny, and the crown zone.
