What's the latest on Genthy?

**Harry Ruiz** (2:41)
He's going to be all right.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:43)
Oh, he's fine.

**Harry Ruiz** (2:43)
Okay.

**Disco** (2:44)
I heard, I heard, I heard there's a source, a friend of mine that's been coached in the NFL before. He, he went to practice and he says that Aidan O'Connell is the best quarterback in camp.
Any word on that?

**Harry Ruiz** (3:03)
He's a good with the threes.

**Disco** (3:05)
Right.

**Harry Ruiz** (3:06)
That's where he, I mean, he doesn't play against the starters or the subs mostly. He plays with the threes and at the same time, he's a guy that if he's okay with it, he can be in the NFL for 10 years as a backup quarterback. But as a starter, he doesn't have the mobility, the consistency, and I like him. But at the same time, he's been able to save the Raiders from some fires all the way from McDaniels to Pierce to Pete Carroll in his last game to, now you have him as your third option. I feel that if somebody offers the Raiders anything for him, they'll take it just to not have to keep three quarterbacks on the roster and be able to have cousin starter Mendoza backup and nothing of, because when you have an emergency quarterback, he has to be on the 53 man roster. So they don't want to be in that type of situation, in my opinion, from what I've seen. So he has looked good. He won the preseason game disco, but at the same time, it's like the second half of the game, it's you know what it is in the preseason.

**Disco** (4:08)
Right.

**Harry Ruiz** (4:09)
Interesting.

**Disco** (4:11)
Did you, have you been following the Braves in the Dodgers series? The Dodgers now, the Braves have won the season series from the Dodgers, regardless of the outcome tonight. What are your thoughts on that?

**Harry Ruiz** (4:20)
Yeah, we had a double or nothing bet going on, you and I, when it came to our dinner, that we always go on this series. And it has been close games, but the Dodgers, man, it just seems like they're stuck. They're two and 13 in their last 15 games against teams with winning records, and that's what you're going to face in the playoffs. So they better get their axe straight, and the good thing is that they have Yamamoto on the mound today, and then eventually the Bats will wake up.

**Disco** (4:47)
Yeah, honestly, though. I mean, what, they got an eight and a half game lead?

**Harry Ruiz** (4:51)
In the division, yes. We got a two game lead against the Braves for the two seed.

**Disco** (4:55)
It's a classic case that they just do not care right now. Like, there's no urgency, intensity, just like, why would you? And then, like, why get hot too early? You know?
So.

**Harry Ruiz** (5:07)
And in 2024, they won it with a buy. And in 2025, they won it going through the wildcard round. So they've proven that either way, they're going to be a threat to whoever they're in front of, no matter if they have home field advantage or not. So it'll be interesting. But that's the thing. It's like, who are you going to play in the playoffs? More than likely to get to the World Series, it's going to be the Braves or the Brewers. And so far, those teams have had their numbers. Now they hope that they can repeat what they did last year, suck against them in the regular season and then kick ass in the postseason.
