Hour three begins with more frustration for Diamondbacks fans as Roc, Manuch, and Jimmy B. react to the team’s 3-2 loss to the Padres—another close game that slipped away late. The guys note that Arizona led for 20 of the 29 innings in the series, but still managed to lose two of three, raising concerns about the team’s inability to close. The conversation intensifies as Roc asks if it’s time for a managerial change and whether Torey Lovullo should be on the hot seat. Roc lays out the pros and cons, while Jimmy B. and Manuch weigh in on the direction the team should take. Later, SiriusXM NFL Radio Host and CardsWire Contributor, Howard Balzer, joins the show to preview Saturday’s Cardinals preseason opener. Howard shares insight on expected playing time, locker room “friction” seen at camp, and what fans should expect from newly signed guard Will Hernandez. He wraps his segment with an “H Bomb”—his pick for a 6.5-point underdog most likely to cover or win outright this weekend. The show closes with a soundbite from Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon on what he’s hoping to see in the team’s first preseason action.
