Why do people keep asking me what's wrong? Obviously nothing is wrong. The Arizona Diamondbacks have not been eliminated. There's no e next to their name. I didn't hear no damn bell. So on today's show we're going to talk about how unlikely it might be that they could still reach the playoffs. Don't you go anywhere. We are starting right now. We're playing that sad song the rest of this season until this team starts winning. Welcome into the pH and next time it back show.

2:12Okay, presented by our friends at Circle K. And my voice is already kind of trash from all the screaming I've done about this team losing the last two games. So I'm going to try to keep a chill. That's the reason why I'm thrilled to have my Damon dog back so that he can get fired up and do some screaming today about this team and what has happened the last two days. My name is Derek Montia occasionally known as your mayor pH and X thrilled to have you guys here. Welcome in to pH and next time it back show Damon Derek ski to you happy Thursday and a lot of people had accusations about your whereabouts yesterday after the series loss. Yeah, I mean some you know I'm not going to be here to confirm nor deny the reports that I was scheduled to be on the post game show and that I in fact did a walk out with the diamond bags as the diamond bags have done a scheduled walk out for the season. It feels like I have thus also decided I will be walking out from doing these post game shows. I get it. I totally get it. I feel I'm feeling a little of that myself.

3:19But of course believe it or not they still aren't dead and we are going to talk about why that is the case even though it's unbelievable. But this is the pH and X diamond back show presented by game time go download the game time app right now create an account and use code pH and X for $20 off your first purchase terms do apply. And yes, they did they do come off another series loss to the Marlins who own us there's no other way to say that they have not won a series against the Marlins at home since May of 2022. It sounds like that's not that long ago but that is four and a half years since the last time they beat the Marlins at home that's not an AL team that we hardly ever see. That is the National League Miami Marlins who we see quite often and it's unbelievable that they once again lost another game for to three and that they lose that series three games to two but the big the big thing here is is yesterday.

4:23I mean we are thumbnail with thank you fans. We're not even going to pretend like it's it wasn't over after yesterday's game but believe it or not folks. And as Rex likes to point out the two of you watching appreciate both of you though well one of you the other one I love the other one I love I'll leave it up to you guys to decide but I think I think we can figure out which way that goes hi Deborah I love you anyway back to the playoff odds it seems like it's over but like we said there is no e next to the diamond backs name and their entire situation is trained changed dramatically after losing the series to Miami as of Thursday morning here they sit at 80 and 70. Three and a half games behind the Padres for the final nationally wild card spot with nine games remaining the Padres are 83 and 69 and have won nine of their last 10 games and they make me sick. They do this to us all the time and they did it to us again this year. This is the part about the final stretch that's not so great is that the diamond backs no longer control their own destiny not to say that they really did but with the amount of games of the Padres of one and you know the groove that they are in currently it's hard to imagine that they're going to suddenly not be winning games but that's what we need to happen that's what we need to happen and if that can happen and the diamond backs.

5:46Due to a certain extent control their destiny considering that they play the Padres in that final series of the season it's the one series that we have circled on the calendar now for months it's probably a series of that we've talked about since the beginning of the year when the schedule dropped and we were like I can't believe we're playing the Padres again in the final series of the year. It's like three seasons in a row all three of these seasons that have gone bad we've ended the season against the Padres but the diamond backs obviously can't simply win games just to get in they need some help they need some losses they need those losses from all three of those teams ahead of them in the wild card race and that would be great to see we great to see would be great to see those teams go through what we've been going through currently but if the diamond backs somehow miraculously win every single one of their remaining nine games that would cause a lot of trouble. They would call they would finish 89 and 73 that can be the best record at this point that the diamond backs can obtain they cannot hit 90 wins and they would need the Padres to go five and five or worse in its final 10 games to finish below Arizona obviously three of those games would be three wins against the Padres that seems unlikely considering that the diamond backs only have four sweeps this year the entire year and now we're asking them to sweep the final three series of the year against the

7:07Yankees the Rockies and and the Padres. They've been making noises over there that I can't even comprehend over I'm emotional just thought of that just thought of that has a I'm a half big and popping over there again but obviously the way the record changes if we go eight and one we finish 88 73 Padres have to go four and six or worse to the diamond backs finish seven and two they would need Padres to finish three and three and three. They would need the Padres to go two and eight in their final 10 games which this is a team right now that's just one nine of their last 10 is that likely probably not however sweeping that final series against the Padres if that is at all possible would aid that quite a bit. The Padres series is essentially the season what happens between now and then determines how relevant that series is the diamond backs need to be within shouting distance of that team and and more importantly I mean a series sweep would even if the Diamondbacks end up tying the Padres I believe would the Diamondbacks at that point would be in based on them winning the season series against the Padres and finishing with those three games is enormous that's not going to be a good thing.

8:29That's the reason why it's so important we cannot sit here and think that the Diamondbacks at all in any way are going to catch the cubs or the Phillies that could happen it's not out of the realm of possibility but that's even less likely than catching the Padres and even winning two out of three of that series against the Padres might end up being enough but that you know that would need that would require the Padres to lose a lot of games between now now and then and this is absolutely. The game is a do or die situation three games here at Chase field three games in Colorado three games and in San Diego. I don't want to say this isn't elite competition but it is the Yankees have the best pitching staff in all the baseball currently and we have to go up against one of the best pitchers in all the baseball on their staff plus again the Rockies are the Rockies playing them in Colorado is always a. A real wild card situation but there's there's no margin for air and that's the problem is this team hasn't been playing their best baseball or flawless baseball all season long.

9:40They've had a couple of games where they played flawless baseball but a handful. Definitely not enough for you to look back over a stretch and say we need to get back to that point in May or that point in July there was that stretch from July 9th on where they were very good for the rest of that month a month where to be honest the schedule was hard enough that it should have probably killed their season right then in there and because of how good they were in July that's why we are talking about them still playing relevant baseball right now and at the very least that's what they've given us but again I understand the feeling of the game is really good. The feeling that fans have about that not being enough any longer you know that's something that we want doing a show about this team but coming so close once again to the post season and not making it is crushing when it comes to you know it happening three three seasons consecutively yeah it's been a really really tough stretch to take Derek and I think I think people are understandably kind of fed up.

10:46With missing the playoffs by a game and especially when you look at like the investment that this team is put forth if you're Ken Kendrick right like this is a you've spent more money over the last you know three seasons since the World Series then you ever have and your investment just doesn't it's not yielding the results that it should be. Yeah 100% and I mean it's it does become like I said the other day kind of the definition of insanity doing the same thing and expecting different results they. You know they've been up against it and obviously baseball as a sport is going to change forever this off season this CBA negotiation will forever change. How the financial you know pyramid here. It doesn't always feel that doesn't feel great word to use I feel like this is a scheme you know but anyway it is kind of a scheme or scam if you will but I will say that you know the financial structure of major league baseball is going to change one way or another with the CBA negotiation so who knows how the spending works because.

11:58Based on this floor and ceiling that the owners have proposed it almost puts the diamond backs below the floor they're like right there at the bottom they would you know almost need to increase spending and that's a good thing that would allow us to do so without having to enter those you know tax brackets and such that the diamond backs right now the luxury tax you know brackets that they've been trying to avoid. That would actually allow this team to spend more and that would probably allow this team to be far more competitive so the future. Is very unknown right now especially for this franchise but that's why it makes the here and now so much more important this is it for this era of the Arizona diamond backs they're not going to burn everything down to the ground and they're not going to just you know start over their core. There's a lot of good pieces to build around but with Levolos contract expiring there's a good chance he won't be brought back and I couldn't really tell you about the future for my case I will stick up for Hazen though and say this.

13:07I think you all have been kind of terrible to this man considering what he has been strapped with as far as the financial restraints of the organization and what he has been able to do as a GM to make this team as competitive as a team. I think this team has competitive as it's been in his time as a general manager considering the broken as team that he was handed when he started here as a general manager not to mention that he has been through some of the toughest things in life that any person could go through while being the general manager of this team and he still somehow gave this organization his all in trying to make this team a winner. So I think I think it you know I understand the way people feel but especially about Tory I get it it's been 10 years and you know it's it's not been the most successful 10 years but a lot of people value Tory for what he has been able to do as a manager I understand the the flat he gets but I mean I don't think that I I would argue that or anyone would really argue that my case and hasn't been a massive upgrade on Dave Stewart in the preview.

14:19And the previous regime but how long does that get to be used as a as like a reason why you know you're not being successful at your own job it's been a decade I mean it's not like again it's not entirely his fault I mean injuries he's been in the show for a decade. I going out getting Corbin Burns was a pretty damn good move considering how reliable and durable he's been and then he has the biggest injury of his entire career while well here Jordan Montgomery was the best available free agent pitcher on the market in the diamond backs went out and signed him and I don't think yeah and I don't think that I actually think that that was probably if I'm reading between the lines I think Ken Kendrick probably pushed for Jordan Montgomery more than Mike Hazen did but if Mike Hazen was the one that was the primary pusher of that. Then that's one of the worst moves of his entire career he doesn't get to wear that as a batch of honor he paid Jordan Montgomery twenty million dollars a year to be the worst pitcher baseball for the diamond backs that's bad GMing just objectively I mean yeah but again when you're looking at the track record of the guys they acquired and what they were doing and what they were.

15:26Yeah I mean it sucks that they didn't perform I don't know the reason why it didn't work out for them here it's just kind of like Corbin Burns I mean it sucks that he got injured there's not much you can do about that that's not something you can blame Mike Hazen for but you know I can blame him for not having a good enough team around Corbin Burns where if Corbin Burns goes down then you're not going to be able to make the playoffs I don't know that a lot of guys that suddenly needed some of you John. I mean Derek I know you're I've kind of backed you into a corner where you're playing devil's advocate a little bit here but I think that on the one hand you can say that Dave Stewart was the worst GM and franchise history Mike Hazen is levels better than Dave Stewart Mike Hazen if he was let go by the diamond backs is probably running another organization in a week because people respect him highly but that all being said we can still hold people to the standard of you know you need to be good at your job not you need to be better than the last guy and being good at Mike Hazen's job in his cases getting this team to the postseason which he's frankly failed to do in the last couple of years here I don't understand why he doesn't have to wear that because of things that happen seven eight nine years ago.

16:40I'm not saying he doesn't have to wear that but you're really going to blame him for injuries and such like and you're not even going to consider the other moves like locking Corbin Carol into the contract that they locked him into extending him right before he how did I say I wasn't going to consider that but that's what I'm talking about that's what I just say better than Dave Stewart if that's a mark here right and I'm not saying that coming a few game short isn't also on Mike Hazen right falling a few game short three seasons a row falls on everybody that's a part of this team I'm not I'm not saying that but what I am saying is that again there there is a lot of factors here with this situation considering that the team is maxed out on spending that spending was done on players that didn't that weren't even here on the field playing you know a lot of that money right so I mean is that not the GM's fault though for signing those contracts for signing a player that got injured Damon I don't know how about Madison what about Madison

17:40Bob Gardner what we're still paying him is that not my case or not still paying him but I know these these long off the books I'm pretty sure well not long off the books we certainly were paying him last season so maybe we stopped between last season in this season but we had to pay him to go away from the organization I mean I don't know but I will say that the trade deadline moves were bad there's going to be bad moves in a GM's tenure what they did this year not addressing the needs constantly not addressing the needs was definitely a mark against Hazen here overall. Yeah, I mean I don't know see how you could argue otherwise again Derek I know that I'm kind of putting you in a bad spot here where you are trying to say insane that you are but I've admitted that multiple times already now so it's I'm trying to be fair to you in this in this conversation by saying that by making that very clear but I don't think it's fair to just like wipe away well my case is trying to put together a good team my easy news wiping that away like that's crazy not wiping that away what I'm saying is a GM's not at fault for a picture getting injured and missing 15 months from Tommy John

18:48surgery I'm not for not having the depth in the organization requisite to get past an injury like that. He's in charge of the entire organization's roster top to bottom other teams have injuries and they're perfectly fine because they have better teams around again I'm not disagreeing with that but they also lost several of their guys due to Tommy John surgery as well including right Nelson who's one of their best pictures on the team right I mean the offense is the problem this year not the injuries to the pitching that's it that's absolutely that's absolutely the truth but it's also the same guys that have been here on the field doing the being the team right we talked about that the missing factor here this year has been Catelle Marte has been Corbin Carroll has been heraldo Prado Mo we talked about them hitting just the other day Prado Mo's numbers hitting with runners in scoring position right like there are number factors here but the players that were added to this team are actually the ones that are a big reason why they're winning right the Nolan are an auto move there's a great move right there having the Cardinals eat as much of his contract and him hitting 26 home runs

19:52here and kind of having a resurgence in his career what sad is is that those guys were as you and I have talked about they were supposed to supplement these guys we said bring in a couple of guys that can help them now those guys James McCann has one of the best batting averages on this team Nolan are an auto is like leading the team in home runs that shouldn't be the case because the guys that should be doing that are Corbin Carroll heraldo Prado Mo and Catelle Marte I don't disagree with that you're right I mean also one thing that you and I were in big favor of was obviously not trading Catelle Marte and now everything that we've been through after this offseason I don't know if I would still have that same stance it depending on if I heard the packages and if it ain't clued it clued it pain toly I'm saying yes no matter who else is with it but you know that that kind of situation showed loyalty to a player that you know again they tried their best to kind of downplay that situation but I'm guessing they were more shopping him around than they made it out to be and there's probably good reason for that after hearing that this thing that happened this year didn't just happen last year but also

20:54happened a year before and all this you know stuff but again my bigger point here about this is that you know as far as cleaning house which most people want to do I don't know if that's the right move either I'm not I'm not advocating for that I'm here I think I'm trying to say more that I think that the the answer is probably more in the middle of you know whether they deserve the blame versus don't deserve the blame I think my case and as you stated has maybe had some stuff that have been out of his control such as Corbin Catelle and Jerry all having down years something that is not his fault everybody's going to invest in those players everybody's going to think that those players are good enough to make your offense at least league average or slightly a little bit better than that but where he what he can control is signing Carlos Santana to be the teams platoon first basement in the season and that being the one move there bringing back Paven Smith over and over and over and over again to this team and giving him meaningful a

21:55bees when we could have gotten a guy like Gina when he was cut and instead they're like we don't want to pay him three million dollars we'd rather run out he even Smith at later points with the season on the line like that kind of stuff to me I can blame my case and for on the I think that there's stuff that's out of his control as well I'm not advocating for getting rid of them I just think that like you know it's I wouldn't necessarily say that he's blameless here I think that there's a lot of stuff that he could have done differently I completely agree with that season and I never said he was blameless but what I said is people that are calling for his job forget the good that he's done for this team and he's done a lot but he's done it on a shoe shoestring budget the floor is a lot higher with my case right GM versus what it has been in years past I think that it's also fair to argue you know should we try to strive for a better a bigger ceiling too because it feels like now it's time to go to the next step of actually making the playoffs consistently as a franchise and is this regime the regime that's going to get us there is the question a lot of

22:58people are asking I'm not giving an answer either way I'm just I'm just merely stating like I think that that's what the true question topic of this entire thing is here's what I'll say first of all here's what I'll say Rex I'm being too emotional bannum bannum from the chat right now this is how emotional I'm being put him in time out get him out of here I don't want to see another killer X comment for the rest of this episode that's how there you I'm too emotional there that's how emotional I'm being killer X I want to spamming my chat anymore like you do every single time you're here but also what I will say when it comes to this entire situation is I would love to see Mike Hazen with whatever the new financial structure is because again the geno thing still makes me wonder does that three million dollars is that was that just enough to put them over this stupid luxury tax where now they have to pay all sorts of additional additional money I know when it came to their offseason spending that they spent far more than we thought they were going to spend so they did enter in being very close to that luxury tax and again even

24:02something like that might be enough to push them over so when I say I would like to see at least my case in here with whatever the new CBA brings us that could put the diamond backs from being right there to threshold where they can't spend anymore to just being at the bottom level of where they need to be due to the new floor and that could give them a lot of time to perhaps do more right I still think that I will agree with Damon some of the bad contracts some of the huge contracts that this team probably shouldn't have even signed even though it looked good at the time adding the best available starting pitcher picture on the free agent market is always going to be a big move it's always going to be tantalizing and for some reason the diamond backs have done it and it doesn't work out for them hardly ever it is pretty wild it's wild right like they go out and they essentially get the best starter and that's it you know I mean and he wasn't the best but even like Erod right was like a big time free agent addition he was pretty bad

25:04for the first couple season look up at Waddle Rodriguez during that free agency season like there were a lot of articles about him and a lot of teams that were interested in him right so you're right I mean yet consistent he was consistent but it just yeah even Erod even Erod didn't really work out until this year and why didn't Erod work out because essentially he's been injured this entire time this entire time and it was finally healthy at the end of last year and then into this year and he was finally able to pitch for this team and be the picture they thought they were getting originally but even that deal didn't work out for them because of the injuries right and a lot of stuff when it comes to you know my K. Isans tenure has not worked out and I do feel like some of it is out of his control but a lot of it is and I'll acknowledge this Damon a lot of it is you know mismanaging or moves that he thought would work out that didn't work out more importantly though I think like it's almost like this team at times with the ABS challenge system where they miss an

26:07ABS that they should have obviously called and they didn't do it so then they just ABS another random pitch that was not out of the zone and then they blow a challenge right it almost felt like you know at times this team couldn't get the player or the position that they were looking to fill so they just got somebody else and it was the best that they could do and that best didn't work out I think immediately of the first base situation that you addressed with Carlos Santana that made me and you not talked for three weeks straight outside of doing this show we almost got that again right now I know well we're gonna get I mean you think I'm gonna speak to you after this yeah it's true that's crazy to think that I'm storming out of this office but the fact of the matter here is is that you know a lot of things have not gone this team's way and yeah I mean that that eventually has to fall in the GM it has to fall on the manager I just don't foresee the team parting ways with my case and I don't you know see them necessarily bringing Tory back however these two guys have kind of been connected throughout their entire career so it's going to be

27:10interesting to see what happens when it comes to that decision being made should the Diamondbacks not make the playoffs but that's not let's hope let's hope and keep our fingers crossed that's not the direction that we go because what needs to happen this week is the Diamondbacks need to essentially win the series against the Yankees they need to win every series this against the Yankees where the Yankees are deploying their literal like playoff rotation yeah why are they doing that to us well it's I'm sure it's fine right the un luckiness of the draw essentially but it sucks that that's how it's going to play out here where we're going to have to go in and there's you know just no no ifans or butts about it you're going to have to go win a series against a really really good pitching staff probably about as good of a three as you can get in baseball these days and meanwhile you just scored one run or two runs against junk and gusto yeah for the Marlins which is classic I mean that's always how the season was going to yeah Yankees need to beat them two to one

28:13and you need to sweep the Rockies and then the Padres need to lose games does if that happens we have a chance I mean for those of you out there that want to know if we actually do have a chance or if it's a pipe dream we have a chance it's also asking a lot and expecting a lot for this team to win that many games over their final stretch right essentially losing two games over their last nine games going seven into but we're doing things have happened baseball is what it is and you never know I'll tell you what here's the one bright spot I can give when it comes to that Derek is if for some if somehow you are able to go on a run here going into the playoffs you're going to be the hottest team in baseball yeah going into the post season and yeah that's got to make you feel good about your chances once you get there but again that does nobody any favors if you don't get there and it also doesn't mean anything if you don't go on a win streak right now so yeah gotta get there we gotta

29:14get there do you believe the debacks can win seven of the last nine me personally yes I thought you were I thought maybe that was like the general to chat chat do you believe the back can win seven of their last nine oh no I don't no I don't I thought it was very very possible this entire thing until the Padres went nine and one in their last ten games before they became the best team the sports ever seen and I guess we probably should have just assumed that's what was going to happen because that's what's happened to us in the past couple seasons and under office their offense was so bad too all season long and you're still baseball yeah you knew that wasn't sustainable you knew they had to wake up eventually you know yeah I mean it's it's just unfortunate you know I I hate being the first team out of the playoffs every single year but yeah I definitely think that the Padres have just built up too big of a lead at this point

30:16where it's gonna be really really difficult for the dying backs to to come back out I'll be honest I think the really the only route to making this happen here Derek is we got a clawback that extra half game and then we got to sweep the Padres I think I think that that's pretty much the the route to to making the playoffs is your three and a half back you got to get within three by the time you play that final series and if you can get within three then you unload the clip against the Padres everything you got everything you got every single player you got every ounce of gas that is in the tank every percent above 100 that you can give 110 111 Derek you got to give every single thing that you got there if you're pro no more in a situation like that I want to see truck the catcher you know if the catcher is going to give himself up to you and he's that Padres series run him over level level him yeah yeah no mercy yeah I mean it's time for that it's time

31:20for war it is time to go to war and Damon you know me I I I might have I might have a I might have a clock but I have a weapon that's stronger than that and it's right here and it never runs out of ammunition and I'm ready for wars your voice yeah that's the reference I was making too my stupid mouth is what I was making a reference to but I will be here to advocate even for my case and even when people are calling me as shill and I'll be here to still have hope for this team until there's an e next to their name because I just feel like they have been underwhelming all year long and there is no reason why they can't play better they are so capable of it but they just they seem to fold in the biggest moments this year when the spotlight is the brightest that is when they will to weigh it feels like they're an emotional team like in the same context there where you're saying that the with that Padres offense there's no way they were going to have the 30th ranked OPS

32:20in baseball all season long yeah you know it's it's like can the dinovacs truly continue to fold in all of these big circumstances where they just go up there and it doesn't look like they even know how to hit when there's runners on base in front of them to a level that we really haven't seen in a long time like this whole stretch the runners in scoring position has just been brutal it's been so bad couple of weeks here and it's crazy you you can tell they're getting in their own head about it and to me that's just not a team that I think is going to have this miraculous turnaround where all of a sudden everyone's hot and can tell and Corbin are playing the level of baseball that we've you know come to expect out of them the last couple seasons that feels unrealistic to me I know I know but you never know man and we got to hold out hope that's all we can do at this point but we're going to take a quick break and on the other side of this break we are going to preview essentially this must win series once again with the New York Yankees that starts on Friday night don't you go anywhere you're watching the pH next time in back show

38:45Arizona diamond backs winning the world series against these very same New York Yankees everybody except Matt Williams is going to be in the house because apparently Matt Williams is coaching a team that is in the playoffs and he refuses to miss on Matt Williams and I'm better than you guys yeah that's basically what it is it's a it's a crazy it's a crazy stand oh you losers can't make the playoffs yeah yeah yeah I'm I'm over here hanging out doing doing my coaching career right now is what I'm doing so anyway good good good good for Matt Williams to having things going on in his life but anyway they diamond backs of course have to win this series against the Yankees this is huge let's take a look here at the Yankees at a glance this season compared to the diamond backs got diamond backs with an 80 and 73 record the Yankees are 88 and 64 they don't really have a ton to play for they're not going to catch the raise I believe who have clinched the division which is

39:47crazy to say but I think they still could they're 88 and 64 so I don't know if it's completely out of the realm of possibility we would much rather have them not have anything truly to play for they are four and a half games back so they they could still catch the raise though that's unlikely as I sit here and say the diamond backs catching the podra is a three and a half back is likely or they have a chance but they do have a chance so stop bugging me the Yankees have a 721 OPS which is tied for 12th best in baseball the diamond backs OPS believe it or not actually went up a little bit they're now at 713 which is 20th they were 21st last time we ranked this so hey even though they can't really score they're doing better than they were which is crazy to say Damon this ERA for the Yankees crazy crazy ERA numbers yeah it is 3.19 for the team which is first in all baseball could you imagine no I can't imagine so it would happen on a year where we had the 20th

40:49best OPS I'm sure yeah yeah what 100% we wouldn't have been winded 12th best no god no um 3.26 starting ERA for the Yankees is the best in baseball and they're 1 3.09 bullpen ERA also the best in baseball oh my god we're cooked we're so cooked out above average though maybe they'll make some mistakes there they have one which is tied for 16th the diamond backs still up 43 which is second most in baseball and as we pointed out here the dbacks won the 2025 series two games to one so it could happen right sorry that cough in the back sounded I mean you're just getting yourself sick just looking at this hot I get it I mean you need to get you might need to go two and one here um yeah I mean that's really the most you can hope for oh it's certainly the most you could hope for there's no chance we're getting a sweep in this series nor are we beating cam shitler shitler

41:56I didn't mess that up on promise I just words are hard sometimes or names you guys know that we're gonna turn them into cam shitler that's what it'd be great sub to ERA oh my god that's that's gonna be something that's gonna be something let's take a look here at the probable pictures for this series I mean it's your three that you want to to be fair you know I know that we're talking about that now you're right it being it being a disaster because of the Yankees in their playoff three that you have here but it's certainly our best three pictures so I guess you're saying there's a chance about the playoff rotation this is it right correct and it's unfortunate that Corbin Burns got you know the bat had the bad adding that he had there the last time out against the marlins however you know you feel like that's not what Corbin Burns is gonna be

42:57that's just Corbin Burns still coming back and getting you know acclimated back to baseball hopefully that's the hope nothing is guaranteed obviously you don't know these guys are ever gonna be you know themselves returning from a surgery like that but I believe in him and I think that you know it like Damon said if there was three guys you wanted in the series this is it and that's no offense to Michael Soroka he's been very good lately too but Garrett the Edward O'Ride regas matches up with Garrett Cole at ERAD still impressive 15 and 6 2.62 ERA Garrett Cole eight nine with a 3.670 ERA then in game two you got the youngsters going at it Brandon Fought and his 3.770 ERA and 7 and 3 record going up against Cam Schliitler there we go 14 and 6 1.95 ERA for Cam and he's just been an incredible incredible acquisition right he was he was a minor leagueer for them I believe if I'm not mistaken and like just what what a great

43:58major league pitcher he has become and then in the finale we got Corbin Burns going up against Will Warren who is 10 and 6 with a 3.89 ERA this year for the New York Yankees and I don't love it I don't love it but it's hard too again it's just there it's their pictures it's having Cam Schliitler in there it's having Garrett Cole in there and it's knowing the gravity of these games I it's and it's it's going to be crazy right because watch watch the offense suddenly wake up that might be more aggravating to me than if they don't if they don't I'm like yeah okay but oh oh oh you put up seven runs against Cam Schliitler and you can't even score more than why against the Marlons bullpen you know that kind of thing but let's hope let's hope that's what happens let's hope that's the kind of anger that they instill in me we also have oh and yes two

45:00BMC is pointing out root beer who has been root beer float some floats floats float some floats on me I don't know but root beer float oh root beer floats on me yes okay you owe me a root beer float he has been a source of positivity and he has always felt or they I should say have always felt like this team is still alive and I appreciate that we need a little bit more of that it's easy to be pessimistic I get it you got to put your heart on the line in order to have hope and believe but let's do that let's all not be that guy that we banned from the chat today Damon let's take a look at the husband and wife law team injury report because guess what folks there is nobody on the aisle that isn't on the 60 day aisle let's go husband and wife law team I mean ever since we started doing this thanks to the good folks at the husband and wife law team this injury report has shrunk

46:00drastically Damon this is the first time that the diamond bags are at what you could consider to be a hundred percent with Ryan Nelson returning to the roster this week they are officially at a hundred percent as far as players that they will be getting back this season meanwhile you see here on screen the four guys that are on the 60 day aisle Ryan Thompson with a strain lower back he was moved to the 60 day aisle on August 5th his expected return is next year AJ Puck he was put on the 60 day aisle back in March with a left shoulder capsule capsule spring and he is most likely not going to be a member of the diamondbacks when he returns from injury that would be the expectation I imagine Christian menah however still will be he's still experiencing the injury from his right terrorist major strain and then Andrew Saul Frank who had in season and ending shoulder surgery at the beginning of the year he is on the 60 day aisle however though

47:04that's it those are the guys that we're not coming back and there were no plans come back except AJ Puck perhaps he was supposed to come back and you all know how that went but this is it this is the first time we've actually been free and clear as far as the 10 day aisle and 60 day aisle guys that were expected to come back in 2026 so I guess I have to pose a question Damon doesn't that make it even more frustrating doesn't it make it even more frustrating that they're losing games like they lost to the marlins and losing series like they lost to the marlins considering we have been waiting all season for this all season we have been waiting for this team to be back to 100% and yeah I guess you could argue that these pictures that return from significant significant layoffs still probably aren't at 100% but I mean this is the roster that maybe we didn't expect to have at this point but this is the roster we thought that when we got to this point we would be playing our best baseball and and instead that's very much not the case

48:09very much not the case I think it was always the plan was always you know when this roster was going to be fully healthy ready to go and back from injury that you know you were hopefully in a playoff position already or or very close to one it almost worked out but this final stretch here has has obviously kicked you out of of that and it sucks because it's more so to do with the Padres not being able to lose than the Diamondbacks not being able to win against I mean that's fair they they did reach just a season high 10 games over 500 not that long ago and they were there but I think it's now it's the it's the fact that and again this is more of the conversation we had about if you can't win a series against the Marlins when essentially your season is online how do you expect to go into the playoffs and win a series there I know anything can happen but it's hard to believe that this team and the way they're constructed is going to go into the playoffs and make some loud noise like they did in 2023 but I also did not believe it was going to happen then

49:12as Damon could attest to I had multiple vacations planned for the month of October not the first week just the month and let's just say I've been looking into some flights to Cancun for October 5th through the 8th is all I'm saying but let's hope that I don't book those plans and don't get to let's hope that they keep me very busy well into the month of October because that would be great we would love that around here we're going to take a quick break on the other side of this break we are going to do you know the thing that we do on Thursdays around here we might be running out of throwback Thursday material very fast but for the time being we still got some big moments that happened on this day or on this week in Arizona Diamondbacks history so don't you guys go anywhere you're watching the pH next time it back show well as you can tell I'm definitely in need of some pure edibles right now to improve my mood I think we all could use that

56:26they've been living in to come to this game at Chase field but on during this week in Diamondback history we've had some significant things that have happened in the history of this team including back in September 15 2002 Kurt Schilling who will be present at Chase field this weekend struck out eight brewers to join Randy Johnson as the only teammates in MLB history to record 300 plus strike strikeouts in the same season I just still can't believe how special having those two guys on this team truly was and how much at the time all we did was complied about the offense I mean I can't Johnson two one loss you idiots I hate this team nothing's changed nothing's changed September 18 2002 Greg Colburn became the second player in franchise history to hit for the cycle that's a trivia answer that most of you probably aren't going to remember so I'm just going to repeat that one more time Greg Colburn was the second player in franchise history to hit for

57:31the cycle and he did it on September 18th and 2002 then on September 14th 2003 Randy Johnson tossed a one-hitter against the Rockies so he tosses a one-hitter complete game against the Colorado Rockies on this on September 14th five days later on September 19 2003 Randy Johnson hit his first career home run and boy was it a moment I wish we could show that highlight right now on this on this show but we can't but it was a moment and let's just say the reaction from his teammates it was against the Milwaukee Brewers he did it at age 40 oh I mean talking about talking to talk about a guy that that did it for the Unks a guy that proved that even at 40 we are not washed and it was off of Doug Davis was a fastball to left field that landed in the Brewers bullpen fittingly enough

58:36and the Ironbacks won that game by score for to nothing in fact that was his only home run of his career September 15 2004 Randy Johnson also became the all-time left-handed strikeout leader with the seventh inning strikeout of Vinny Castilla passing Steve Carlton and moving into third place on the all-time list with a three to two win over the Rockies and September 13 2010 the Diamondbacks and Reds back-to-back home runs in the second inning where the first back-to-back homeers in the same inning since April of 2006 so nearly four years since a two teams facing off against each other had back-to-back home runs in back-to-back innings against each other or in the same inning in the same inning and then and those were that was Miguel Montero and Ryan Church who did it for the debacks and then J. Bruce and Drew Stubbs who did it for the Reds in that game September 19 2011 one Ian Kennedy who was really really good at a time for the during this time

59:37for this team he became the National League's first 20-game winner after a one-to-nothing victory over the pirate see nothing has changed for this offense a one-to-nothing victory he allowed a one hit and a career high 12 strikeouts to win that game he's the only pitcher since 1900 to register at least 10 strikeouts and allow one hit or less in his 20th win the only other one to do it was Warren Spawn who tossed a no hit air with 15 strikeouts back in 1960 he was the fourth diamond back to reach the mark after Andy Johnson Kurt Schilling and Brandon Webb all became 20 game winners here's here here you know what I'm gonna hold off on that one we want one that won't hold off on but on September 16 2022 our boy Dre Jamison made his major league debut against the San Diego Padres tossing seven shut out frames can we can we get that Dre Jamison back I need

1:00:43that Dre Jamison back with Ryan Nelson they became the third duo in baseball since 1901 to each toss seven scoreless innings in their debut that's how good Dre Jamison and Ryan Nelson were when they got called up in 2022 it was unbelievable and I don't think we were really expecting that out of either guy so outstanding they were outstanding when they came up and I think they were outstanding for the rest of that season but the one last fact that happened in during this week is is kind of hilarious and Dave and you're probably laughing this on September 19 2013 debanks debax the Arizona diamond backs the Arizona diamond backs ranked as the number one franchise in major league baseball according to ESPN the magazine's ultimate standings and I think we know why that magazine doesn't exist anymore because of bad information like that they were ranked Damon as the sixth overall

1:07:05arrived so looking forward to that but in the meantime we have what could be one of the final looks of the season that's some triple a stats now that the Reno aces seasons wrapping up let's take a look at how some of the prospects are doing on snake farm this week uh we got some end of the season numbers here kind of getting close to the end of the season for lujames gruver mani paina and one guy that we haven't talked about at all i'd believe in the show danice ready who is a shortstop third baseman and second baseman uh he was recently promoted to triple a rena he's played three 35 games for the aces and he has been doing a great job he has a 934 opus he has five home runs he has 16 rbi he has a 316 batting average and again he has a guy that plays multiple positions and could fit the mold for you know one of those guys that the debax call up and and kind of have backup all of the infielders uh considering he can do that very well it seems like uh lujames gruver continues to rake in reno would be great to see this translate over to the major leagues

1:08:13and now that he's had that kind of experience this season and gotten his feet wet hopefully we can see him continue to get better at that level when he comes back but there's no doubt that he was an asset at a triple a level he has a 389 on base percentage uh an 825 opus he hit 305 and he had 57 rbi's in 96 games for the triple a reno aces and then mani panah who was called up around the middle of the season or promoted during the middle of the season uh he's still he's still doing some great things he doesn't have the power that he had in amarillo he was literally not hitting the cover off the ball for the sod foodles but uh he still has a 297 batting average at a triple a level he has 27 rbi's uh this isn't again 52 games he has five home runs and a 746 opus all three of these guys are guys that it's very very easy to potentially see them get called up next season get utilized in the same way that certain guys have been utilized uh this year and uh I think a couple of those guys including a guy that we will see out at Arizona fall league uh demitrio

1:09:17chrsanthus I think those guys will uh eventually be kind of similar situations to what we saw this year all overall I know this season might not end the way that we wish it to right but let's not forget due to necessity we saw so many guys make their debut this year and a lot of those guys truly did have themselves a decent major league year not only is Ryan Walshmit stuck but you know think about Jose Fernandez and what he contributed when he was first called up we still have the statue plans I don't know if we'll get those approved but we still got like a actual architect to you know make a blueprint um along with the statue of hashtag the meeting which that's still happening we're still gonna make that happen we're gonna listen if they make the playoffs or not but Ryan Walshmit uh Tommy Troy, Lou James Groover so many guys came up and made their debut this year not to mention you know the arms and the bullpen as well I mean the dynamics have just had to do this

1:10:19based on need and a lot of these guys have stepped up and you know made that transition to the major league level well uh Groover still has you know I guess some some development to go overall but I think that he's gonna get there and I wouldn't be surprised to see him putting up these same numbers so he's putting up for the Reno East is at a major league level he seems to be that that that good so hopefully those skills will translate but we got uh another game tomorrow we'll be back tomorrow covering game one of the New York Yankees so hope to see you guys out at Chase Field I'll be there all weekend long because I have nothing better to do than to go hang out and just be sad around the ballpark thinking that this might be the end you know I I felt that already I had people the other day like are you gonna be here because if not want to say goodbye it's like no no no no no no don't say goodbye yet because we're gonna see each other in the Yankees series and then you know what we're gonna do we're gonna see each other in the mother FN National League Division series round
