Starting point is 00:03:04 All right, game 137, I got to tell you, whatever the hell it is, this is way too close for comfort. I'm sorry. You almost got set by the frickin Arizona Diamond. backs. That would have been bad. That would have been embarrassing. That would have sucked all of the sucks that you could possibly suck. But thankfully, just Tanner Scott sucks all of those sucks. We'll talk about him. Will Smith sends the Dodger faithful home happy with a walkoff win there in the ninth inning. And you and I were talking before going live here. I was just like, please, like walk it off now. I don't care about extra innings. I am not ready for this. I just,
Starting point is 00:03:43 I want to go home and I'm home already. First of all, you're already home, but how do you stop the bleeding? How do you stop the bleeding Clint Paceas that is Tanner Scott? That is a great question. I don't know. I mean, I feel like Dave put them in a pretty decent run there. And guys, hop into the comments. Let us know your thoughts on this game, your thoughts on the series.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Obviously, the Dodgers salvage the series here with this finale, this walkoff. They ultimately end up in about the same spot. They entered the series two game lead over the Padres. But Tanner Scott, yeah, continues to be a pretty good bit of an issue for this team. He's only been back a couple of games, and already our blood pressure is rising, three-run Homer to Corbyn Carroll. And I got to tell you, Riz, you know, all of the off-season signings just kind of have not worked for this team. Kirby Yates has been God-awful for the most part of the season.
Starting point is 00:04:40 He's given up a butt-ton of run since he's returned from the I.L. I think his ERA is at at 4.72 on the year. I found my number 4-4-4 now for Tanner Scott. Of course, Mike Conforto at 190. Blake Snell has been good when healthy, missed more than three months. But yeah, the issue of the day is Tanner Scott. And I just, I don't know. I don't know what you do with him.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I don't either. I don't either. By the way, Walker Buella got picked up by the Philadelphia Phillies. That's for another time. I'm happy for him getting that. No, I know. I'm happy for him, but you didn't want him back on the Dodgers. I did.
Starting point is 00:05:12 But here's the thing. I don't know, you guys, like this is, again, it's easy to poke holes in a team that is pretty dang good. But I have some concerns. And I'm not saying that we're not going to make the postseason. I'm not saying that we're not going to go deep in the postseason. But you cannot go out there against the Arizona flipping diamondbacks and lose almost, almost a sweep. But lose two of three and almost lose the third game when you're leading the entire game. That cannot happen.
Starting point is 00:05:42 That cannot happen. Like this division race is way too close. You put this in here because you are a wonderful director and producer. Heading into the game, 46 runs scored over the past six wins and just nine runs over the last six losses. Again, like you're not scoring. Your bullpins beat up and Tanner Scott right now has not been the answer. Yeah. I like you get your key hits from Miguel Rojas and Andy Pahas, which is great.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Thank you. Thank you so much. but that's like that's not who is making the big bucks that's not who you're counting on no absolutely what are we doing it's a it's a very disjointed effort um listen a win's a win they needed this dub they needed it very very bad i think we all needed it bad but even though i don't i don't feel very good after this win and i know we're supposed to be happy and chipper and cheerful after the dodgers win on these sort of post game shows but i don't feel it you know i i love the effort from Yamamoto. He is this
Starting point is 00:06:42 team stopper and he went out there and did his job phenomenally. I have a stat line here. Seven innings, four hits, one earned, no walks, ties a career high with 10 Ks on 98 pitches. That dude is a fucking beast. I love everything about Yamamoto.
Starting point is 00:06:58 But going to work, getting your job done, and the guy that comes in behind you is just like diarrhea is all over the place. It's not a good feeling. And I think I'm still stuck on that. Yeah, I don't.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I got to be, I just have a bad feeling. I love this team and I'm usually like poly positive and I'm good cop, your bad cop, all the things. And I get that and it's fine and whatever. And I love this team and I always will. I always will. But this is, this is, there's, there are some concerns that I have.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah. Will they make the postseason? Of course. Do I hope that they get everything ready to go? Sure. I do. Of course. I just feel like this is not a team that, like, is going to shove it down your throat.
Starting point is 00:07:43 This isn't a team that's going to have everything working on every cylinder, every single game. And we're, we're a month away from the postseason. Like, you can't play like this and keep resting on your Dodger laurels of having that eventually they're going to turn it on. Like, when are you going to flip the switch? When, when are you going to do it? I mean, Riz, we've been talking for months now about the all the ifs, like if we get this play. If this happens, a team is going to be good again. It turns out they're only good against teams that are playing better.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I forgot what the number was, but against teams with records over 500, they're just playing much better. They are now 12 and 4 with teams against teams with a record over 500 and 5 and 10 with records under 500. They're playing down to the competition, something Dave didn't really want to touch on or acknowledge. He acknowledged it. He just didn't want to, you know, vocalize it, verbalize it.
Starting point is 00:08:42 He also said yesterday that, you know, like so far the series has been embarrassing. Let me ask, look at this, though. Go to our chat really quick. Maddie Man 5 Dodge. When was show his last clutch it? Honestly, it was show his last clutch it. I love it. You had that one because I favoriteed that one.
Starting point is 00:08:57 And this is going back into what you were talking about earlier before I did that thing, where my brain's all over the place and I derailed us. Yeah, the guys who got it done today, Andy Pahez, Miguel Rojas, So you expect Will Smith to be doing something, but, you know, Shohay leads the game off with the base hit. And then it's just kind of not been anything in between. It's either first inning or like late in the game, maybe a garbage homer.
Starting point is 00:09:23 And listen, we love Shohay, but I need a little bit something else from him. But are we asking too much of Shohay? I was like, I looked at the stat line. Now, hang on a second. I looked at the stat line. I was watching the game on the couch, my husband and my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law, my nephew were here, right? So I was like, all right.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Yeah, everybody. It's a big family, Ioneta affair. So we're watching the game. And I was like, all right. So he's only hitting whatever, 278. I'm like, that's not, like, that's not superstar. And my husband was like, he's hitting 45 bombs and he's throwing 100. He is a superstar.
Starting point is 00:09:53 I was like, okay. So he just like, he checked me. You know what I mean? Like, I get it. But it's like there has not been a moment of a clutch hit in quite some time. And if you're going to get all of this fanfare, then you need to come up in these moments. and you cannot get swept by the Angels. You cannot lose two of three to the Rockies.
Starting point is 00:10:12 You cannot almost get swept by the Diamondbacks and barely get one game against them. Like, that's a little problematic to me. It's a little problematic. Yeah, and, you know, to show his credit, this team does not, I mean, it kind of does run through him. It's not all on his shoulders. We know Mookie is just trying to find grass in any way, shape, or form,
Starting point is 00:10:36 and he is doing what he can. He's been actually very, very good. He's got the average now back up to 250. Last month he's been good. But, you know, Freddie's been a little bit off. The big missing piece really is Tayasca Hernandez. And Max Muncie, not being in the line. Well, Muncie, for sure.
Starting point is 00:10:52 But the missing piece that's actually available is Taylor. Like, he has not. You're absolutely right. Yeah, not been a factor. He's not been the same guy since he's been hurt. Yeah. And he was benched today. That's something we should talk about.
Starting point is 00:11:06 about, but we do need to probably take a quick ad break. So guys, hang out with us, and then we're going to talk about Teasca Hernandez being benched by Dave Roberts today.

I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Mbata. We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing.
Starting point is 00:12:32 At IBM research, what we always do is answer what is the future of computing, whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together. It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future. Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff? Yes. Building actual physical machines. Yeah, it's why I came to IBM. I wanted the experience the culture of building hard things that others have not done before. Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point when it will mature, right? My cell phone is a mature technology at this point. How far are we
Starting point is 00:13:23 from that point with Conton? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem. To learn how IBM is building the future of computing, visit IBM.com slash quantum. Okay, we is back here. For his last 27, what are you doing? Apparently, having him ride the pine today. Dave Roberts, not extremely happy
Starting point is 00:13:54 with the performance he's seen out of Tayasca Hernandez. Here's the full quote from Dave from our friend Jack Harris of Los Angeles Times. Dave's saying he's surprised. This might not be the Teo. This is not the Teo. This is General Dave Shock. This is the Teo on from Fabian Ardaya, also a friend of the show, the athletics, and clearly
Starting point is 00:14:13 he hasn't hit right-handed pitching well. And I think a two-day reset could help. He's an everyday guy, but I do think with where we're at, you have to perform as well. You have to perform, too. And that's not what we've seen out of Teoscar Hernandez, especially since he went on the injured list and has since come back. First month of the season was a superstar. was the guy we were thrilled.
Starting point is 00:14:35 He was the guy we wanted to come back and be the tail we saw on 24. Since then, I don't know if there's something that his mind is somewhere else, or he's just not engaged into the lesser, the non-big moments. But Teoska Hernandez in that four spot and that five spot has been a kind of black hole, especially over the last couple of months for this team. I don't think it's because his mind is somewhere else. I think that there's a lot of rust still coming off of the injury. He's not gotten his form back.
Starting point is 00:15:11 I don't think it's because there's a lack of effort or there's a lack of care or any of that stuff. You know, sometimes you have down ears. And again, I was screaming off the rooftops of like bring him back, bring him back, bring him back. I know it's like bring him out, bring him out, bring him out, bring him out. But I was like, bring him back, bring him back. I don't know. I don't know what the situation is. But it's just he seems flat.
Starting point is 00:15:29 He seemed flat the entire season. But I have to be honest, nobody is. is having an unbelievable year this year wire to wire, right? There's not one person that's like, oh my gosh, even Shohei. I mean, even Show Hey is not, I mean, yes, he has, the man has 45 home runs. Great year. We get it. Like, great year.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Like, I get it. But to the level that Shohei has set himself, he's not having, I don't know, whatever I say, everyone's going to be like, what are you talking about? He's the greatest thing ever, blah, blah, blah. But it's like, I just feel like as we head into some head into, September Clint Passeas. If we look at the August report cards, how would you grade the team and how would you grade the individual superstars? Man, that's definitely a tough one. The team overall, I mean, we're running at about a C minus right now over the last couple of months. I think,
Starting point is 00:16:24 what is it? Through June, they were 21 games over 500. Those are the numbers I had, 53 and 32. but they went 10 and 14 in July and are now 15 and 13 to complete the month of August, which is just not what you expect with this roster, with the amount of talent. And I'll say again, I understand we're complaining a lot about a team that just won a ballgame. But understanding that... They should have shoved. They should have won the series. They should have swept this team.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And we're what, 28 days away from the start of the post season? We are. You know, I saw somebody saying it in the comments, and I'll bring the comments back up here. You know, the way it feels, it could be a very short October for this ball club. No, no, no. First of all, Jason Diamond, our boy, Jason, Diamond. Thanks so much, Jason, for being part of the chat, said it's going to be a short postseason. No, it's not, J.D.
Starting point is 00:17:17 It's not. We're going to figure it out. We're going to figure it out, J.D. I believe, I still believe in this club, but, like, this is not, like, I don't know, Is it better to like stumble your way in like a drunk sailor? Or is it better to like, you know, go in 10 games. Works for some teams. Go in like 10 games up.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Like I don't know. Dodgers better sweep the pirates. Sure. But we should have swept the angels and we should have swept the diamond backs, Alexander Rose. Like I don't know. I don't know what the situation is, but I just,
Starting point is 00:17:47 this is a team that's like they're good, but they're just not, they're not like, you know that saying like if you see your opponent drowning, or you see your enemy drowning, shove a hose in their mouth. That's what I need. That is what I mean. Well, yeah, it's evil.
Starting point is 00:18:05 It's not great. It's not really great. But the point is if you see your opponent, and again, like, once the game is over, you can go have a slice of pizza with the people. You can go grab a beer with the opponent. That's fine. But in the game, like, you've got to be dominant.
Starting point is 00:18:21 And I just don't see that dominance in the NL West. I don't see that dominance overall. And again, there's a lot of, lot going on behind the scenes, I am sure that we are not privy, too. And again, we're still in first place in the NOS. We're bitching about stuff that most people in, in major leagues, would be super psyched if their team was in first place, right? Very tiny violin. Yeah, like, nobody cares. Like, nobody is going to feel bad for the doctors. I get it. But I just want, I want more dominance. Yeah. You got to beat these kind of teams. And, and, you know, the,
Starting point is 00:18:56 we expected a lot more out of the Arizona Arizona Diamondbacks this season. Everybody did. The Diamondbacks did. They've played a little bit better since after the trade deadline and all that. So there's some credit there. I mean, they played well in this series. Like Mookie said, what,
Starting point is 00:19:13 two fantasy, not fantasy camp, what do they call that? Fanfest. Every time, every team, we come into town, this is, or even them coming to face us. This is their world series. And every team is getting it up against the Dodgers. And sometimes the Dodgers are like,
Starting point is 00:19:30 feeling like I'm feeling sometimes with, you know, doing post games or doing things. It's like, crap, we've got to go to work today. And I love talking about the team. And that's fine. Yeah. That's fine if you have a 10 game lead in the division. You can like not want to go to work.
Starting point is 00:19:44 You'd be like, me, but you know what? You might lose the division. So you can't rest on your laurels. You can't rest on the back of your baseball card. You can't rest on what's happened in the last 10 years. Like, this is way too. close for comfort. I'm sorry. Great point. I get it. Like, that's fine. If you're like,
Starting point is 00:20:00 if you have such a dominating lead that everything is boring to you and contrite, because you know that you're going to get the first round by, you know that you're going to host, you know, you have home field advantage throughout. That's fine, but we're not there yet. No. And tomorrow is September 1st, bitches. So, like, Respectfully.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Not even respectfully. Yeah, no, again, and it is time. And I'm sure the way I'm feeling about this win, I'm sure Doc is feeling something similar in his post game. You feel good, the Dodgers won. You feel good that Willie walked it off. You feel good that Yamamoto shoved and is looking like your game one
Starting point is 00:20:44 starter or maybe a game two starter. Clint Piscius, I love you, but it should not have had to have been a walkoff. Exactly. And again, I'm just trying to make sure we keep laying that much out there. We understand that what we're complaining about, maybe not everybody's on our side with this, but we expect to see more out of this team. I want to pause before we do take a break and look at some of our super chats. We got $1.99 from our friend, Swellin' sausage. What's up, buddy?
Starting point is 00:21:16 So nice to see you again, Alana. Thank you, love. Thanks, Clint. Bye. Bye. And this one was just an emoji, but it doesn't really translate emojis well. but from Albert Soy, 499, Super Chat. It was a little pair character that was laughing.
Starting point is 00:21:33 And Cole with $5 super chat. Thank you very much. Cole, we appreciate you. Dodgers Stadium. We're opposing pictures with the area. I've got to be right. Stop it. Continue greatness.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Cole, I don't know. Cole, are you a Dodger fan? I don't know. I don't know about that. We appreciate you. Thank you so much, you guys, for supporting our show. We love you, truly. We wouldn't do this.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Well, we couldn't do this without you. So thank you so much. I don't know. Like, yes, you love talking about a post game after a win, but like I expected a series win. I expected almost a sweep. I expected a game today of, you know, like a 10 to 2 Yamamoto pitch great. I look forward to his starts in the postseason. He's your Cy Young Award nominee.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I get it. I'm a little concerned about Glasnow. I'm a little concerned, you know, I mean, he was bleeding on top of the knuckle, which is fine. Yeah. I have a Glasnow thought that I have not said online yet. That's fine. I'll take it. I was watching the game a little bit.
Starting point is 00:22:29 But with Glassnow, listen, I gave him a lot of shit last week, and I'll credit the dude for pitching through whatever blister, you know, bleeding finger issue he had. No, no, no, no, no. It was not a blister issue. It was, like, cut on the top of a knuckle on his thumb. That doesn't affect your pitching. Listen, the fact that he stayed in. The fact that Tyler Glasnallon. now stayed in with that to me is is a is a step forward it tells me he saw me complaining about him
Starting point is 00:22:58 on the internet last week he did not stay in when he's bleeding on the top of his knuckle that doesn't affect his pitching like what are we doing i'm just saying i'm just saying that's that's what i'm kind of that was my complaint before like tyler glas now is way like way tougher than that for god's sake stop it stop i reserve the right to hold my opinion on it him. We got $2 also from Kevin Geras and he has a fix for the team. Alana should manage a team. No. No.
Starting point is 00:23:29 No. Kevin, Kevin, one time I tried to manage one game. I tried to manage one game. I think I was down by 27 runs in the third inning. I was terrible. I have no business managing a team. Like what? What was this?
Starting point is 00:23:44 It was like a video game. It was like a video game with Scott Braun one day. We were doing it. And I was like, I was so, I was so bad. Like I can't make decisions that quickly. like I would be terrible. Thank you, Kevin. I love you, but no, new. Nobody wants me managing their team. Oh, God, that is. Or I'll bring the Capri Sun and the orange slices. I'll do all the thing. I'll be like the biggest cheerleader, but no, yeah, no, nobody wants to win. Hey, guys, why don't we take one more quick break and we'll be back? We'll hang out with the chat a little bit longer.
Starting point is 00:24:10 And I, you know, we didn't get your grade. So, Alana, I want your grade when we come back. Okay. FD fans. You wouldn't have confidence when you go out in public? Absolutely. We can't all wear a backwards hat. like me, but you can get some true classic fit shirts. It almost looks like, oh, wow, this shirt was tailored for me. Nope, it's every true classic. This John is soft, it is smooth, and it makes you look a little jacked. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:24:39 And crats, you are jacked, and you are spot on. True Classic is the spot to go if someone's like, where do I get shirts? True Classic, the colors are fantastic. They've sold over 25 million shirts to more than 5 million customers. Their shirts just win, the feel, the tailored look, the price. We all wear True Classic on F-T.

I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM. I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvin Krishna. And I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business? My one advice to them, pick areas you can scale.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side. For example. If anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today, with the goal of being 70% more productive. Yeah. Wow. So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it.
Starting point is 00:26:09 We say, you can leverage what we did. We're happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process, because the biggest change is not technology, is getting people to accept. there's a different way to do things. To listen to the full conversation, visit IBM.com slash smart talks.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Dodgers win. We're happy about it now. Alana, we finished the month of August. I saw a C-minus out of this team. What's your grade? We do finish the month of August with a win, though. They were 15 and 13 in the month of August, so that's good.
Starting point is 00:26:51 I'm going to go ahead. I mean, if I'm talking about, I'm going to break this down. If I'm talking about this series, you get a C. If I'm talking about this month, you get a B. If I'm talking about this season, you get a B. Like this is not, like nobody has, it's not been awful. It's not been unbelievable, which I guess is average.
Starting point is 00:27:14 So I guess that's a C, right? C's get degrees. C is average, right? Yeah. When all else fails and like when you have to fill out the bubbles, you just go with C. I'm going to go with C. I have so much faith in this team, and I know they're better than what we've seen so far.
Starting point is 00:27:30 So I'm going to give them a C across the board. You know, first place, I'm getting a C. They're in first place of two-game lead in the National League West. They are, what, a game and a half behind the Phillies for that second seed. Wait, are they two games? Did the Dodgers? Yeah, the Padres, yeah, they got beat. They lost two of three also to the twins.
Starting point is 00:27:51 So, again, this is just a wash of a series, which I guess, is okay you want to get through the calendar um yeah yeah paul saying in the chat as well podre's lost today tall can saying dodger still at first um tall can versus um is that like short ken rosenthal wait tall can shit 10 strikeout scott says watch me F this up la la la here hit this big oh okay what are we talking about i don't know are we moving on no yeah we're moving on there's a much of stuff and the talk and shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of things going on in the chat,
Starting point is 00:28:27 but we appreciate people hanging out with us here. Yeah, again, Dodgers win is what you want. You end the month on a win. You do have a winning record in the 5, or in the second to final month of the season. You move on to September. We have a day off tomorrow, and then you face Paul Skeens and the Pirates.
Starting point is 00:28:47 By the way, Paul Skeens is getable. He's getable. He was just here. I live in Massachusetts, right? And he was playing the Boston Red Sox the other day yesterday. Friday, Friday. He's getable. You can hit him.
Starting point is 00:29:00 You can. You can hit him. That's all. No, no, no. I'm not saying you should punch him. I'm just saying you can actually hit his basketball. That's according to Paul there, by the way, Paul Skeen's future Dodger. No, thank you.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Because I don't want Livy done all up in Dodger Stadium. She's so annoying. What does she do? I don't understand why people. He's so annoying. I mean, yes, she's beautiful. I get it. But oh, my God, enough.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Hey, can we talk about the Walker Bueller or the Phillies thing real quick before we sign off? I'm glad. I'm glad. Listen, the Red Sox did Butane a favor. The Red Sox did him a favor because they let him go prior to September. So another team could pick him up a contending team. The Phillies obviously have, what, like a five, six game lead in the NLEs? I'm happy for Walker.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Walker thrives in October. I think he will be very good for the Phillies. Obviously, I don't know if he's going to be in their rotation. I'm assuming yes because Aaron Nola is out. Exactly. Excuse me. Zach Wheeler. Both of is Aaron Nola back here?
Starting point is 00:29:59 No, Aaron Nola is struggling. Zach Wheeler is on the eye. Zach Wheeler's done for the season. Yeah, he's out for the year. Yeah, he's out for the year. Aaron Nola has struggled. I love this for Walker. Philly to me, Philly matches Walker's personality.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Thank you. So well. So well. I think Walker will thrive there. I'm happy for him. I had nothing. but success, not against the Dodgers, but I want him to have nothing but success. I mean, Phillies do play the Dodgers in about three weeks in L.A., but I had said when the whole
Starting point is 00:30:32 thing was, you know, happened when he was released by the Red Sox and every idiotic radio show in L.A. was like, you got to bring it back. That was me. I said it too. I said that I didn't. Okay, well, I'll lump you into the idiotic radio show. No, no. I said he, I didn't say he was going to or he should.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I said maybe he goes back to L.A. But the Phillies make so much sense. So they need a starter. And Walker wants to be a starter. And he doesn't have to be the man. So even if he's their fifth guy, that's a perfect fit for him. Absolutely. And again, my thing was let him sign with a team that's headed to the postseason,
Starting point is 00:31:09 which, of course, the fight and fills 100% are. And ideally a spot where he can find his way into that starting rotation, which he will with the Phillies. So just awesome for Walker. I wish him all the success except for against LA, like you said. And I also want to point out, too, a lot of people were saying, you know, giving the Dodgers and giving Andrew Friedman a bunch of shit for the Dustin May trade because in like his first two starts, he was pretty good for the Red Sox. Boy, he's been ass for the socks. His first start was terrible.
Starting point is 00:31:42 His second start was okay. Every, every start, every subsequent start has been terrible. He's not been good. So this is for me. because he he I saw his most recent quotes I don't know why we're talking about this but whatever former dodger and I this you know pewler Dustin May red socks but I've been saying for years you said it all season long well Dustin May should be in the bullpen he talked about like I was so good for four innings and then I just lost it in the fifth yeah bro because you're a reliever so anyways if you're a two pitch pitcher and they know what's coming and you're going through the third time through the order probably not the greatest thing for success right something like that but i think it's about time to hit that wrap it up button uh again dodgers win uh let's pretend we're happy i'm happy i'll be happier i'll be happy as soon as we're like we are realistic right like okay so here's the deal so
Starting point is 00:32:38 tomorrow we're off because it's labor day um and then tuesday i cannot be on post game um we're doing post game on wednesday clint and i will be on post game on wednesday our normal time is Thursday. So Clint and I will see you on Wednesday for post game. We appreciate you guys so much. Thanks for dealing with us. And hopefully we have much more to talk about on Wednesday evening. Thank you guys.
