Speaker 1: All right, it's postgame wrap time, and obviously that one
Speaker 1: was tough to watch. It's not often in this franchise,
Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants have been playing for 144 years,
Speaker 1: that we stand here together after a game and say, well,
Speaker 1: that had never happened in Giants history. That's the biggest
Speaker 1: blown lead in the ninth inning in the history of
Speaker 1: the Giants. That had never happened before today.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Makes me want to puke.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's tough on you. I mean, that's, I think,
Speaker 2: one of the loudest boos I've ever heard from Giants
Speaker 2: fans after that game. But Kite made a point over
Speaker 2: on the television side that, you know, the last two days,
Speaker 2: your starters didn't get it out of the second inning.
Speaker 2: Your bullpen's eating up 16-plus. It's August. These guys are,
Speaker 2: you know, sitting five days away from where they can
Speaker 2: expand the roster and bring in another arm.
Speaker 1: And, I mean.
Speaker 2: It showed up in the ninth inning. There's some tired
Speaker 2: arms out there. And unfortunately, it just didn't go their way.
Speaker 2: But it was quick. Home run, walk, walk, home run.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it was base hit, walk, walk,
Speaker 2: home run, grand slam. Suarez, I didn't see it coming.
Speaker 2: None of us saw it coming. I'm thinking, they've got this.
Speaker 2: They've got it. And lo and behold, they did.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow. And I do think it's a factor, the fatigue.
Speaker 1: I mean, Dylan Smith, that was nowhere close to his
Speaker 1: good stuff. That was a shell of himself. And whether
Speaker 1: that's being pushed hard on the road trip and then
Speaker 1: pitching on Monday night and then warming up today an
Speaker 1: inning before and sitting back down or just the accumulation
Speaker 1: of it all, that's not the Dylan Smith we've seen.
Speaker 3: And, man, in a lot of ways, maybe you don't
Speaker 3: use the personnel you would normally use because of what's
Speaker 3: happened the last two days. Yeah. I mean, there's still
Speaker 3: no excuse, but there can be reasons why it could
Speaker 3: and it did happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a factor.
Speaker 1: Six runs, you should be able to, no matter who's
Speaker 1: out there, you should be able to get three outs
Speaker 1: and not give up six runs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't walk anybody. A couple of bun hits, wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I remember doing a game where they were called
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Indians at the time. And they were playing
Speaker 4: the Seattle Mariners. And the Mariners won 116 games the
Speaker 4: year that this game happened. And the Mariners were ahead
Speaker 4: 14-2 in the seventh inning at Cleveland. And Cleveland won
Speaker 4: the game. They scored 12 runs in the last three innings,
Speaker 4: including five in the ninth inning. And then won it
Speaker 4: in the tenth inning. The greatest comeback, I think the
Speaker 4: last time anything even close to that had happened was 1925.
Speaker 4: But the story I remember from that game is the
Speaker 4: Mariners had a great closer. Well, they're ahead 14-2. He's
Speaker 4: already taken his stuff off. He's left the bullpen. He's
Speaker 4: back in the clubhouse. And then they call him in
Speaker 4: the top of the ninth inning. Now it's 14-9. And
Speaker 4: they said, you're not.
Speaker 1: In the bullpen.
Speaker 4: You've got to get out to the bull.
Speaker 3: He says, what for?
Speaker 4: He says, well, we might need you.
Speaker 2: It's 14-9.
Speaker 3: He says, 14-9?
Speaker 4: Well, he had checked out of that game. He was
Speaker 4: not only getting dressed for the road to go to
Speaker 4: the airport, but mentally he had checked out. And all
Speaker 4: the things, and you know way more about this than
Speaker 4: I do, Mike, but all of the mental things you
Speaker 4: prepare yourself for when you're going to come into a game.
Speaker 4: That was all gone. He checked out. And I felt
Speaker 4: like that was something that, and he's not a long-time closer,
Speaker 4: but Dylan Smith, He knew he.
Speaker 2: Wasn't coming into this game.
Speaker 4: It's 9-3, ninth inning. And all of a sudden, he's in.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what happens. I mean, you have it in
Speaker 2: your mind that this game is over. The verdict has
Speaker 2: been decided. It's in the win column. And, you know,
Speaker 2: if you're an adrenaline guy, a seventh, eighth, or ninth
Speaker 2: inning guy, you know, you're just, you kind of let it,
Speaker 2: let your edge sort of dissolve. And, I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know. We saw it this year where the Giants
Speaker 2: were down 9-1 and they won a game. So, I mean, anymore,
Speaker 2: what's safe? Crazy game, historical game in a wrong way.
Speaker 1: This one evens out with that one, that wild one
Speaker 1: against the Nationals. All right, we'll pick players after this.
Speaker 1: All right, postgame wrap part two, we're picking players. I
Speaker 1: think it's my turn to go first.
Speaker 2: Lead on, Red Ryder.
Speaker 1: I'm cheating here because I do feel like there are
Speaker 1: a lot of other good candidates. I'm taking the Cox-Gilbert-Centerfield combo.
Speaker 1: Can I steal two guys at once?
Speaker 2: Yes, you can.
Speaker 3: As long as you do it quickly.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good combo right there.
Speaker 1: A home run, a bases-clearing double.
Speaker 3: I think it's perfect.
Speaker 1: That right there is a blueprint for next year. Have
Speaker 1: those two guys do that together.
Speaker 3: Love watching them both.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. I'm going with those two.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: The center fielders.
Speaker 3: Beautiful.
Speaker 2: All right. Well done.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: I'm going Rafael Devers. I like guys who hit home
Speaker 4: runs every day during a homestand and hit one into
Speaker 4: the water.
Speaker 2: What, four home runs in.
Speaker 4: The last five games? He's my guy, Rafael Devers.
Speaker 2: Okay, good pick. Well, I'm going to take Logan Webb
Speaker 2: because he gave them innings that they needed. They had
Speaker 2: a tired bullpen. He went six after start. First couple
Speaker 2: through three innings, he threw a lot of pitches, but
Speaker 2: he got through the sixth. That's a pro. That's an ace.
Speaker 2: Logan Webb.
Speaker 1: He can't believe he didn't get a win out of that,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, right now.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable he can't get a win out of that. Good pick, Mike. Kite?
Speaker 3: Well, I'll take the kid at second. You know, he
Speaker 3: hits his first home run in a Giants uniform. But
Speaker 3: I also like the way Hill has been playing and
Speaker 3: played today, too.
Speaker 2: Whitcomb and Hill. You can take them both.
Speaker 3: I'll take them both.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Good picks.
Speaker 1: Good. What's on deck sponsored by your California Ford dealers? Okay, well,
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks come in. What are the Giants, 1-8 against
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks this year? So try to rest up and
Speaker 1: get ready for tomorrow. Diamondbacks, two great wins the last
Speaker 1: couple days. They're only a game out of a playoff spot,
Speaker 1: so they're going to come in here with a lot
Speaker 1: of purpose for four games in three days. Tomorrow.
Speaker 3: They ain't seen this team yet.
Speaker 1: The first eight innings, Giants team, if that shows up tomorrow,
Speaker 1: they're going to give the Diamondbacks a big-time fight.
Speaker 3: 26 innings were great. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. One inning.
