it to be easy, and I know you like it easy, man.

00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:03,399
wasn't supposed to tell you actually what it was?

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:03,799
Speaker 4: Why?

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,799
Speaker 3: Why not? When was it? That's when we went to Minneapolis,

18
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:07,560
myself and Doherty.

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,879
Speaker 4: He bumped you up.

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: There was only two seats left on the plane. Oh nice,

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,000
Why would you not tell me? That's how we want

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,680
to hear anything from you? Oh no, I know, I

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,280
mean you have to shame and all that stuff. We'll

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,319
talk about how you talk about how we're on a

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,519
vacation trip. You are on vac like, we don't want

26
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:23,840
to hear fro Matt. So we're not gonna tell me

27
00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:26,159
not be on vacation. If things continue the way they are,

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,359
they're gonna make the playoffs at least. Yeah, but we're

29
00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:35,599
not gonna go to the Wald card. You'll be home.

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,560
Turn it up a little yellow.

31
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 4: This is a jam. This is my favorite song of theirs.

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: I don't even think it's close. You want to Extreme

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,120
Matt Thomas Show with Ross History Minutia, please. This is

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,519
the first song I played. I played a bunch of songs.

35
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:01,719
E didn't like them because you were trying to give

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,239
me a feel for your music tastes, which are horrible. Yeah,

37
00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:06,079
you told me that out of the gate. This is

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,760
like the first one I played that. You're like, yeah,

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:15,000
this is good. It's good. The Brewers are gonna lose

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,280
a game either, Jesus whatever. I'm not worried about the

41
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:21,680
National League. The National League is stacked.

42
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:24,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. I'm gonna worry about the American League West.

43
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:27,319
Speaker 3: First, good morning, everybody, Manna Ross with you here on

44
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:30,199
this Wednesday edition of The Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

45
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,319
There is a tie atop the American League West. It's

46
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:38,319
what you wanted, you want a close race. I didn't

47
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:40,719
say I wanted it. I said I'm having a great time.

48
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:43,319
I'm having a blast. First of all, you can't control

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,520
what's gonna happen, no matter what mat mm hmm. You

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,400
gotta learn in life to control what you can control,

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,080
that's true, enjoy the things that you can't. So you

52
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,000
know what, this is gonna be a race. Every game matters. Well,

53
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,080
Astros didn't think last night mattered that much as they

54
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:03,400
got destroyed fourteen to one. Of course they of course

55
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:05,439
it mattered, and they cared but pregnant with two home

56
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:12,840
runs in a series so far. Yeah, Jerey Peny had

57
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,360
three hits. Uh Arraghetty gave you five, Yes, it was

58
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,319
he gave you five and five the ugliest five you

59
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:23,439
have you ever seen, and yet you were still in

60
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:26,199
the game. When you walk five people in five inning,

61
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,960
you're supposed to be down nine nothing. Well, they eventually

62
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,599
got that way, but it was not because of him.

63
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:34,199
It wasn't because of him. Yeah. Well, everybody's like DFA,

64
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:39,479
Hector and Harris bring back Sean Duban baby. Yeah, well, dude,

65
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:47,680
lord Chas McCormick getting some innings in Yeah, I mean,

66
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:53,319
my gosh, Well you're saving your book sure least. Yeah,

67
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:55,039
a couple of innings from Colton Gordon and one from

68
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,479
Chas McCormick. So we didn't have to use any leverage guys,

69
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,159
because you are short on leverage guys. Would you had

70
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:05,120
two reliable leverage guys, two really reliable? A couple other

71
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,280
guys here and there, Brian King, Bennett, Sue's ash ok

72
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:11,719
every now and then, and one of them is down.

73
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,759
And Caleb Ward's gonna join us on the show today.

74
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:18,279
Oh great, so he's squall. He's gonna step up, Caleb.

75
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,279
You got some important games coming up from us, he does.

76
00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:24,519
And the Astros may need still a right handed reliever,

77
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:28,360
and there's one out there Sports Harvey, Oh why is

78
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:28,759
he out there?

79
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 5: Matt?

80
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 4: What's it hold on?

81
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: What's his name?

82
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 6: Uh?

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,639
Speaker 3: It's Ryan World Series closer Presley? Okay, and why is

84
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,519
he available? Uh? He didn't like his accommodations in Chicago.

85
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:42,399
Oh that's true. He asked for his release from the

86
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Chicago Cubs. He said, I want to out of this

87
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,319
National League ballpark, this this band box on his roo.

88
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:51,319
So then they designated him for assignment. They said, hey,

89
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:53,600
you can go your own way. They fleetwood macd okay,

90
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,319
and did anyone claim him on waivers? He is still

91
00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:59,000
available at this point, okay, for the right spot. How

92
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,120
long ago was that a couple of weeks? Okay? And

93
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,920
he still hasn't been picked up. There's he's thinking about

94
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:07,759
all of his options.

95
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 4: He's okay, and no one more thing, Matt.

96
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: How many teams are involved in division and wild card

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,040
races in baseball?

98
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:18,439
Speaker 4: Would you guess, like completely, Matt?

99
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: Eleven? Twelve? Matt, Yes, sir, don't twelve teams make the playoffs? Yes? Okay?

100
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,720
So how many are making the playoffs? And then how

101
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:32,720
many are in races? Would you say? Still a guess?

102
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,519
I mean, okay, so fifteen, but I mean some of

103
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:38,160
those races already done. AND's gonna win the Central So

104
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,600
there's nobody in the American League. Cardinals and Reds are

105
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:45,000
within four games, but he wants to go, and the Guardians, Rangers,

106
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,360
and Royals are within four games. So you add in

107
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:52,600
those five teams, that is seventeen teams in play. If

108
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:54,079
you're within four games, would you say you're in a

109
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:57,319
playoff race? Yeah, okay, So seventeen teams are in a

110
00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:00,399
playoff race, yes, sir, and how many have tender the

111
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:03,480
services of Ryan Presling? There again, he is, he's got

112
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,639
so many options, he's going through it. He's he's taking

113
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:07,720
his time with this. I'm just asking. All I'm doing

114
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,959
is asking you questions. I know, and you're Pepper and me,

115
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,160
and I'm trying to give you the right answers. Okay, So,

116
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,000
I mean, I don't mean to go open ended with

117
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,199
you here, but how are we feeling? Does that feel

118
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,079
okay to say that?

119
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,439
Speaker 4: I love that question. I know I've been I've been

120
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,600
stealing some of your material.

121
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: I'm actually feeling okay, not great, but I'm feeling okay.

122
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,000
I'm feeling all right, Poul. Question today, And we're going

123
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:35,720
to keep doing better job of this. We're gonna try

124
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,279
to daily pole questions just to kind of get the

125
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,480
pulse of things. How are feeling today about the tie

126
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,079
bit astros got? This is option one? M's when the

127
00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:45,680
west is I didn't know what you were talking about

128
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,759
when you said tie bit at first. Took me a second.

129
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,399
I didn't want to just I just want I want

130
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:51,040
to just change things up litle it, and three was

131
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,680
too close to call. Forty eight percent say Astros got this,

132
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:56,920
thirty two percent say too close to call, and twenty

133
00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,639
percent of the MS win the West. What I didn't

134
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:01,120
want to do is I didn't I was going to

135
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:03,120
try to just leave it to people that followed me

136
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:07,279
on the reply. But you can't do that because I

137
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:09,160
was afraid Seattle fan was gonna jump in there. I

138
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,000
Sawfee was gonna retweet it and get a bunch of

139
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,240
people from Seattle getting in there. So I mean four

140
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,360
that seem.

141
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,519
Speaker 4: Feels about right. That's what I voted.

142
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 3: Astro's got this baby. Okay, Now, remember you do have

143
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,360
seven with the Baltimore Orioles. You have three more with

144
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,839
the Kalarorado Rockies. Yeah, you had those last six games

145
00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:33,759
of the season against the A's and the Angels. You

146
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:36,360
have the Angels, I think coming back here one more time. Yeah,

147
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:39,519
seven with the Angels. Now you do have what three

148
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:43,279
more with Texas, three more with Seattle, six more texts,

149
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:45,399
oh six for Texas, three with Seattle. Those are all

150
00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:53,319
in Houston. So twenty sixth schedules strength and raining. Seattle's

151
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,199
twenty third, So it's close. Here's the problem when those

152
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:56,759
seven games are done with the Oriols, which will be

153
00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:58,120
have been in the next week, that that number is

154
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,360
gonna go way high. Yes it will. Yeah, all right,

155
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:02,120
guess what you know what you do with those seven

156
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,759
games in the oels, you win five of them, six

157
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:08,480
and one. Let's go okay, Well you wanted six and more.

158
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,920
You win in five and one. This week they just

159
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:12,560
lost one. Yeah, they're gonna finishing off win the series

160
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,800
today against the Red Sox. By the way, first pitch

161
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:16,519
is at six ten if you're going to the game

162
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:19,240
to night, it's not seven ten. At six ten, yes,

163
00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:23,240
because of Boston's travel needs. What they try to do

164
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:24,680
is you have to you have to be in a

165
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,839
certain city in a certain number of hours before the game.

166
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:30,600
And these teams don't like to play afternoon games because

167
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,720
again they're worried about the attendance. And with Boston being

168
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,360
a good draw, the chances of having thirty thousand for

169
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:38,200
a Boston game at six ten is a lot better

170
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,360
than having it at one ten. So if we were

171
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,039
if the askers were playing the Guardians or the on

172
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,679
the Reds, you can put this thing at one ten

173
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,360
and let those people go on, but it's Boston's. They

174
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,080
want to give an opportunity to play, you know, and

175
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,919
have a chance to get as many focus stadium. So

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,960
if you're going to the game to night, it's an

177
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,840
hour earlier on deck tonight five o'clock. First pitch is

178
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:59,080
at six ten. Here on seventh night, it'll be a

179
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,320
great edition of the Astros on Deck show. Come. I

180
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,000
guess it'll be just a replay Danna Browns conversation because

181
00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:05,679
the person waiting the show will probably mail it in.

182
00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:09,240
Wait a second, why, Brian bogusc two. Oh, it's on

183
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:11,559
deck with uh, it's on deck with the Adams. Yeah,

184
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,279
is it Adam and Adam? Yeah, that's not what it.

185
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:14,919
Speaker 1: I like.

186
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 4: I like the saw your news tenth inning to.

187
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:22,879
Speaker 3: Night then m yes, oh yes, I knew I was

188
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:25,240
on post game, but I forgot I had no For

189
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:25,679
those who.

190
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: Don't know pregames, the hard party, Yeah, that's what the

191
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:28,840
most work is put in it.

192
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,399
Speaker 3: I will be listening to you on my way to Austin,

193
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,200
going to UH daughter's got her first high school volleyball

194
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,080
doing in Austin, Texas awesome, beautiful, great city. Traffic is

195
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,559
ridiculously bad, but otherwise it's a great city.

196
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:42,279
Speaker 4: Enjoy squatting on thirty five.

197
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: We're taking two ninety going in so okay, okay, it's

198
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Grand Park better two ninety. That's what that's That's the

199
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,519
way it tells us, Hey, you're gonna get a lot

200
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:52,080
of tolls. But that's okay, that's fine. What are you

201
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,200
gonna do? I take it tent well, because I live closer. Yeah,

202
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,840
I think. I think from my house to the two

203
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,080
ninety Graham Park it is probably eleven dollars of tolls,

204
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:05,279
which I think, don't we pay for these roads anyway?

205
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,679
That's one of the reasons I. First of all, I

206
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,519
gotta say, buddy, I want a tight budget. Okay, that's fine.

207
00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:16,360
Second of all, yeah, it's spie. If it's like five

208
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:18,840
extra minutes to not pay tolls, I'll do it. I

209
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,720
don't care. I need to get d Austin is faust

210
00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:23,360
tell the toll road as already shut their bumb ass up.

211
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,320
I gotta shut your bum mass up. And it involves

212
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:28,600
a state lawge just got passed. Is the belt were

213
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:30,399
supposed to be like, hey guys, we're only gonna do

214
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,120
these tolls for a little while. And I don't know.

215
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,240
Same thing with hardy toll road, right, didn't there weren't

216
00:10:34,279 --> 00:10:35,960
they like, Hey guys, it's only be tolls for these

217
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:42,360
hardy free road exactly. The Grand Parkway should be grand.

218
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:44,200
That should cost me a grand to get out it

219
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,039
all he does, all right, Uh bugas seven eleven o'clock,

220
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:50,720
shut your bum mass up. I just don't get it.

221
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,960
At eleven thirty, no shut no, shut your bum mass up.

222
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,200
And anybody got time for that? Eleven thirty we have

223
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,240
the news. At noon, we have Caleb or today at

224
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,399
one thirty, got believe it or not. And we've got

225
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,360
people apparently, as somebody called the Morning Shore this morning

226
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:07,200
that said it would be better at the Astros don't

227
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,320
make the playoffs. I didn't hear the call. You get

228
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,399
a higher draft pick. Well, I don't know what they

229
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,840
were thinking. There is a draft lottery now, right, Yeah,

230
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,679
but there it's only the top payful. I was gonna say,

231
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,799
if you're really gonna not make the playoffs, you might

232
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:23,799
as well go Colorado on us here and not win

233
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,240
another game the rest of the season. That's not going

234
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,000
to happen. Seven one three, two one two five seven

235
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,440
onety come on in and join this radio program at

236
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:34,840
seven one three, two one two five seventy. Did you

237
00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:36,120
go to the game? If I want to hear from

238
00:11:36,159 --> 00:11:38,360
those that went to the game last night, how do

239
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:40,279
you do it? Rossie? How do you go to a

240
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:46,320
game when your squad is beaten? Being beaten? The starter

241
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:50,840
kept in the bullpen? I mean, leaky's an understatement, right

242
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:53,840
the dam burst? Yeah, I was gonna say, what is

243
00:11:54,039 --> 00:12:01,240
fifty times leakage? I guess it would be depends. That

244
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,159
was a horrific attempt at a dad joke, and I

245
00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:05,639
apologize for that. I was just gonna let it fly by. No,

246
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,440
you shouldn't have you you must criticize. I'm trying to

247
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,080
be nice. It's not trying to be nicer in my

248
00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:12,480
day to day life. All right, if you would if

249
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,399
you went to the game last night, how did you

250
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,320
spend like the innings five to six, seven and eight?

251
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,639
Speaker 4: And did you even stick around for the night?

252
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: I think fourteen to one, by the way, fourteen to

253
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,440
one waves fair game. No, sir, we do not have

254
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,639
the wave under any circumstance. Seven one three, two one

255
00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:30,200
two five seven prid of the show Steff And they

256
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:32,639
just said, Hey, I was the game last night except

257
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:35,320
for the pregame. Aside from the pregame excitement, Chas pitching

258
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,600
in the ninth inning was the highlight. If you want

259
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,159
to go to an Astros game in Chas McCormick was

260
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:44,000
the highlight of pitching, then that means, man, what the

261
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,399
hell happened to the previous eighteditning?

262
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 4: Well, what means they got their ass kick.

263
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: But I also do like it when a position player

264
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,679
comes in to pitch. It's fun games. A blowout gives

265
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,480
you something to be interested in. How's Chessy fizz doing?

266
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,039
And I ask a rude question, what's higher as the

267
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:10,279
ra or is batting average? Batting average? Well, depens, Oh

268
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,159
that's true. You're gonna take the desk take all right?

269
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,600
It was a fair question though, right, No, all right?

270
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,639
Uh so if you went to the game last night,

271
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,159
how do you it was a Tuesday night at the

272
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,480
dogs for dollar right, Yeah, so dogs and Chelsy Fizzles pitch.

273
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,240
At the end of the day, you just go hit

274
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,320
you more hot dogs, right, and you walk around, you

275
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,039
go see people in maybe like you ran into you know,

276
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,919
a friend of yours from high schools of the game,

277
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,600
and you go sit with them for a couple of innings. Hey,

278
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,159
I haven't seen you in twenty years. How are things? Oh,

279
00:13:38,159 --> 00:13:40,399
there's another home run. Yeah, it feels like you always do.

280
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,039
Run into strange people you haven't seen in fifty years

281
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,399
happen and then probably it happens to me at least

282
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:49,240
four to five times a year at Rocket games and

283
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,320
probably three or four times at Astros games. Yeah. So, yeah,

284
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,960
it was last night a Facebook meet up where you

285
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,440
were just asked about what you saw in the field

286
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:03,679
and you said, Hey, I'm gonna go check my social

287
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,200
media and see if any my buddies are here. Or maybe

288
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,879
that lost love of yours from yesteryear. Oh wow, that

289
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,200
around nineteen. When did you graduate high school? Maybe two

290
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,080
thousand and three? Okay, that girl from two thousand and two. Mane,

291
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,240
you're looking good girl. It's been a while. I thought

292
00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:20,799
you were gained way back in the day. But you

293
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,919
look thin now. Mm hm, This's happened to me a lot.

294
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,240
Man you you you're alive. Glad you didn't get the

295
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,080
charge of arm robbery got dropped. No, she's she got

296
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,480
took a plea deal, but did she really? Yeah, it's

297
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,639
still looking good. Say, hey, interesting spot for that tattoo. Yeah,

298
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,080
a couple of big pin prison tats. You good?

299
00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 6: All right?

300
00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:42,279
Speaker 3: So if you went to the game last night, how

301
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:44,519
did you how did you survive that hot mess?

302
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,879
Speaker 4: Because even a lot of people probably laugh.

303
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,559
Speaker 3: Because I'll say this, when's when's the earliest you've ever

304
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,000
left a game? I will say I don't leave games

305
00:14:55,639 --> 00:14:59,240
at all. I probably maybe wanted like that unless you're Look,

306
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:01,600
if it's up to me, if you're with like four

307
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:03,360
people and they all want to go, it's kind of

308
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,759
like you have no choice, right right, right. But I

309
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,879
like to stay there because I don't have children, so

310
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:09,799
I don't have to get them to bed. I don't care. Correct.

311
00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: Uh So, yeah, I like to stay.

312
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,399
Speaker 3: I I would say ninety seven percent of the time,

313
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,320
I stay full nine innings, no matter what. I am

314
00:15:17,919 --> 00:15:22,120
ridiculously good seventh inning lever. I could see that during

315
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,120
the stretch, everybody's standing up. Great way to exodut again.

316
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,120
The game's close, you're sticking around. I'm saying, if I'm

317
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:31,080
ten one, I don't care ten zero, I'm done. I'm

318
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,759
hanging out having a good time. You you a lot

319
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:37,519
of times it's you know, it's easier to get out

320
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:40,000
of there. At the end when everybody's already left, I'm

321
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:42,679
gonna blowout. Yeah, Well, I can say seventh th innings

322
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,799
not bad either, So I stay. But I understand a

323
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,559
lot of people leave, all right, especially if you gotta

324
00:15:47,559 --> 00:15:51,279
ge kids to bed. Let's talk to Jim in Missouri City. Hi, Jim, Hey, Matt,

325
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:52,519
how's it go? Man? Good friend?

326
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 5: Good? Ninety nine times out of one hundred. If assuming

327
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:58,120
I've gone to one hundred ascle the games, I've probably

328
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,519
gone to more of my lifetime. But nine nine times

329
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:03,919
out one hundred, I am watching the game every pitch,

330
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,279
first thing through ninth last night, How I survived it.

331
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:12,120
We timed a corporate event with this game, so my

332
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,480
company I worked for co hosted with another company, and

333
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:18,559
we were in the center field upper deck, which has

334
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,879
that capacity for one hundred people, and we had eighty

335
00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:25,039
five guests. So I spent the night checking in guests

336
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,480
and networking for with our clients and prospective clients, and

337
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:31,720
we had food and beverage, and.

338
00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:32,759
Speaker 3: That made that game.

339
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,279
Speaker 5: I maybe saw about three or four pitches, and I

340
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,000
would have never done that, you know, and and and

341
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,879
you know, being in the stands of stuff. I'm watching

342
00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:43,840
the game the whole time. So you time, you figure

343
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,600
out a way to time your corporate event with one

344
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,720
of those disastrous games, and you just spend time networking

345
00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:49,840
and drinking and eating.

346
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,399
Speaker 3: That's how I survived that. So really, it didn't matter

347
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,879
what was happening in front of you. You were you

348
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,639
were pounded the mooze. I get you.

349
00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 5: The game was in the back because no, after I

350
00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:04,119
checked in people, my intent was to watch the game,

351
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,759
and then I saw it was getting out of hand.

352
00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:08,440
I'm like, I'm just gonna just chitchat with people and

353
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,119
the games in afterthought. But that's not what I do

354
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,319
when I go to a baseball game as an Astros fan,

355
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:15,480
I'm usually locked in. But this was nice to have

356
00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:20,200
that distraction of company paid beverages and food and again

357
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,119
meeting people that we might be able to drum up

358
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,599
some business. Right, That's how I survived last night.

359
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,599
Speaker 4: We're gonna put your office man in, John Blast, you

360
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,119
ready for this?

361
00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 3: What you listen to me? I want to hear what

362
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,799
was served and I will figure out how much these

363
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:37,720
people meant to you all by what you served in

364
00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:38,599
the in the suite.

365
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:41,519
Speaker 5: Well, no, so when we worked with the astros. Uh,

366
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,400
so we had a you you could order from a

367
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,440
so since we were in that central that party deck

368
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,680
in the center field, they had waitresses come out and

369
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,480
play and take the order. So we ordered from an

370
00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:54,599
lt Info Mexican food menu, and then they had a

371
00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:57,279
little bar right there that you basically order anything you wanted,

372
00:17:57,319 --> 00:17:59,240
like Margarita's beer, some.

373
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 3: Crown and diet were flowing.

374
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 2: Uh.

375
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 5: So everyone was drinking a whole host of things.

376
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:05,519
Speaker 3: So we uh we ran up a bill. Man, So

377
00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:08,039
your company paid for that. You're your company paid for

378
00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:08,480
that bill?

379
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 5: Correct, My company and another company we co hosted, so

380
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:12,799
we paid for it.

381
00:18:13,079 --> 00:18:15,039
Speaker 3: Okay. Well, then, by the way, your office manager gets

382
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:17,000
a name plus because you guys could have gone and

383
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:19,640
said dollar dollars everybody all you can eat. No you

384
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,640
w u n L Temple, which is the most expensive

385
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,960
part of the ballpark. So good for y'all.

386
00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

conferences and stuff and we have like the booth or

something like this, we'll host happy hours too. We do

391
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:36,200
it upright. Uh, my company does it upright. So it's

392
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,119
it's a It was a lot of fun last night.

393
00:18:38,839 --> 00:18:40,599
I mean for me, it was for us really. With

394
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,720
the game being out of hand, it's uh the perfect

395
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,880
opportunity just to talk more, you know, because people are

396
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,799
like the games out of hand. It's just right, you know.

397
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,160
So it worked out pretty good. So I swerved into

398
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,000
surviving that last night in a pretty good spot.

399
00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:55,519
Speaker 3: Well, two things once, two things real quick for letting

400
00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:57,039
go h Ross and I would like to come to

401
00:18:57,079 --> 00:19:00,480
your next company event, So I mean bring us there

402
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:02,440
and then I would need a small appearance fee.

403
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 4: Other than that, we're good to go.

404
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 5: Okay, got it, man, see you later.

405
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,599
Speaker 4: You invited yourself and said pay me.

00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 3: Damn do you know? Two for that's very Matt Thomas

408
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,960
gonna cost them some money, But you invited yourself. Well,

409
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,880

to somebody and then say pay me. Sure I get

411
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,039

I went on match and Ross's show and Matt Ross

413
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,279

talk to our clients. I don't want him to think

415
00:19:33,559 --> 00:19:35,279
that we're doing it for free. Okay, I mean you

416
00:19:35,279 --> 00:19:37,480

forty sixty to me, that's fair, that's fine whatever.

420
00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:47,519
Speaker 4: I just mean I want to talk to more people

421
00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:48,000

00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:52,880

00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,440

to the Angels are pulling off a triple play last

446
00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:10,359
night against the Angels against the Dodgers. I should say,

447
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,240
do you see Shoho Tani's back in the news. Yeah,

448
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,440
he hit into a triple play. Uh, that's part of it. Oh,

449
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:24,720
but he's being Sue's sports RB. Yes he is. He

450
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:30,400
and his agent, yes, or manager or something accused of

451
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:37,640
sabotaging a two hundred and forty million dollars real estate project. Yeah,

452
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,240
apparently was. I don't have all the details. You pulling

453
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,279
it up over there? Yes?

454
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,319
Speaker 4: Here it is had to endorse something.

455
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 3: And then I always love this phrase, tortuous interference and

456
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:51,519
unjust enrichment in a lawsuit followed on behalf of real

457
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:59,880
estate developer Kevin HAYESR. This is happening in Hawaii, So

458
00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:03,559
without getting into great details on this, apparently, the suit

459
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:07,079
claims that Otani and Balilo I believe his agent interfered

460
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,720
with the contractual rights of Hayes and Matsumudo, the other

461
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,000
guys involved in the deal. They were planning and developing

462
00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:16,000
a luxury real estate project on the Big Island. Otani

463
00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:18,920
and Ballelo are accused of interfering with the plaintiff's interest

464
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,839
in a second neighboring venture. According to the lawsuit, Otani

465
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,839
and Ballelo pushed for concessions from the plaintiffs before issuing

466
00:22:26,839 --> 00:22:31,680
an ultimatum and threatening retali or retaliatory litigation unless one

467
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,359
of the project's business partners removed himself from the deal.

468
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,799
But this is look Otani is a special special athlete.

469
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,200
But who's what company is he hanging with? Bro I mean,

470
00:22:45,319 --> 00:22:47,880
I'll be honest with you, who is nez Maallelo? But

471
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:53,160
my point is he had a bad interpreter, was gambling

472
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,319
his life away, got him involved, and now he's involved

473
00:22:56,319 --> 00:22:58,640
in a two hundred and forty million dollars real estate

474
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,640
deal gone bad? You know how much? That's how much

475
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,079
the housing project was, how much was how much are

476
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:15,480
they seeking from Otani? I don't see that. I'm gonna

477
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:17,759
need to see more details on this, I suppose, But

478
00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:22,160
I mean most athletes, I don't recall anybody else getting

479
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,200
I mean, I'm sure maybe somebody's gotten sued in some

480
00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:26,480
kind of bad land deal. I'm just saying there's just there.

481
00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:30,480
Athletes get suit all the time for misrepresentation or I'm

482
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,839
going to commit something, but you don't. I mean, that's

483
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:37,160
that's not uncommon that sometimes athletes get put into deals

484
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,480
they should stay away from. But it's just been this

485
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:42,519
is two straight years of show hey being in these

486
00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:49,279
really bizarre stories. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, they

487
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:51,119
can town it seem like two different things. Can I

488
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,920
can I guess give shown some advice because you know

489
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,720
he listens to the show all the time. Uh huh,

490
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,920
Just collect your money and put it in I mean

491
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,759
ross an IRA or something. No, he deferred all the

492
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:02,279
first of all he got he's not eligible for an

493
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:05,079
IR a man, but okay, put it in the savings

494
00:24:05,079 --> 00:24:10,359
account dollars. I don't care. But just stay away from everything. Well,

495
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,000
he deferred all that money man, so he's got to

496
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,400
make his cash back. To make his cash back somehow. Stop,

497
00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:18,920
he said, show he's getting his chicken somehow. No, no, no.

498
00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 4: I it's just to be.

499
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,319
Speaker 3: I mean, there is so much goodness in him that

500
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,200
this is the last thing you need is another story

501
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,920
to uh not necessarily dampen who he is, but this

502
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,319
is two straight years of all the field stuff is

503
00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:35,160
making sho how Tani's life uh not pristine when it

504
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,680
comes to national headlines. And by the way, he got

505
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,720
into a triple play yesterday that was kind of cool.

506
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:47,839
And he's going to uh, he's going to win MVP.

507
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:54,279
I mean, he is as musty as baseball's had. I've

508
00:24:54,279 --> 00:24:56,279
got one for you, but this will put put our

509
00:24:56,319 --> 00:24:59,000
thinking caps on from it. Who is musty before? Show

510
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:01,079
how tony in baseball? Was it Mike Trout when he

511
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,519
was healthy? Show him greater than I'm gonna go Barry Bonds,

512
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,759
what's up? You can go that far back? That's why

513
00:25:09,799 --> 00:25:12,440
I mean that can present me with something that I mean,

514
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,880
I could change my mind, but I'm telling you what

515
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,519
to come to mind. Uh, let me give you a

516
00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:17,240
few just to throw out there, and I'm just just

517
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,480
just for the sake of argument. Remember when Josh Hamilton

518
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:21,279
was smacking the balls with the Rangers all over all

519
00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:24,480
the time. Yes, that was pretty much Sye for a while.

520
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,440
Who was the guy from San Francisco Giants? Poppy? Is

521
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,480
it poppy? Big Poppy? Is that it's called Big Poppy?

522
00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:33,640
Played for the Red Sox?

523
00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 6: Oh?

524
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 3: Okay, one of the Twins before that? I think Barry

525
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:42,920
Bonds then Barry Bonds. Yeah, thanks, Charthan Uh. I will

526
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,160
say show Hay more must watch than Mike Trout because

527
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,119
of the pitching ang Okay, but that's not my question.

528
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,079
My question was who, If show Hay is the must

529
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,799
watch of twenty twenty five, twenty twenty four, twenty twenty

530
00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:55,880
three and all that, who was before Showy? Who was

531
00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:59,440
who was the must watch before became Showy? Was it Trout?

532
00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:04,599
It was Mike Trout. Probably Aaron Judge would be second.

533
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,920
I guess Aaron Houston Pooles is a cardinal was a

534
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,920
must watch guy? Okay? Well I hated watching him. Well

535
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,640
I did too, because it was rather personal. Yeah, training

536
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,480
tracks pooh holes not great? Yeah, I mean you're gonna

537
00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:22,400
run into these players are going to own the league

538
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,359
and be on the cover of your various video games

539
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,839
and magazines. He is trend to transcended the sport and

540
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,880
is the most must watch baseball player since Barry Bonds. Yeah,

541
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,720
unless I'm presented with something that changes my mind, that

542
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:36,279
probably needs to keep better company, hang out with the teammates. Well,

543
00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:38,599
I mean, yeah, I don't know. We need more details

544
00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:45,400
on this agent thing. The interpreter thing was certainly sketch

545
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:47,759
at the very least, at the very least, at the

546
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,519
very most criminal, at the very least sketch. Yeah again,

547
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:55,880
show Hey, just play baseball, use your put your per

548
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,240
diem in an IRA or something, right, Can you put

549
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,759
something in some tourn of investments maybe? Yeah, maybe up

550
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:02,440
to four o one K from the Dodgers. Yeah, he

551
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,720
can do that that. You can put more into the

552
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,240
pension plan. Yeah, just do that. But no, he's deferred

553
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,119
all the money, Matt. It's got to make his cash. Okay,

554
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,200
nobody's buying your argument, not a single person, because you

555
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,799
got news for you. He made money with the Angels

556
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:17,240
before he did as that's true, you know, so he's

557
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:19,720
doing just fine. Yeah, maybe he's eating ramen for dinner

558
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,960
and struggling. I mean the media dining, I mean the

559
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,319
team dining is good. He gets two square meals a

560
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,160
day and he goes and plays baseball games. You think

561
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,920
he wraps up a sandwich and a napkin and takes

562
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:35,240
it home for dinner. Uh, same cash. I will say that. Uh.

563
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 4: To go boxes in professional sports are quite prevalent.

564
00:27:38,039 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, see, especially if you're on a league minimum. No,

565
00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:47,559
it's equal opportunity. Okay, the super rich to do it too.

566
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,880
Evil ones that make forty million dollars a year and

567
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,240
don't play to go to go play, you're calling out

568
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:56,160
John Waller's fine.

569
00:27:56,319 --> 00:28:01,079
Speaker 4: I mean, if that's there, you gotta eat it.

570
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: I would do the same thing. I'm not here to judge.

571
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,480
Look at it. Yeah, I'm mister t Especially at one

Speaker 4: Hmm.

579
00:28:25,599 --> 00:28:27,559
Speaker 3: It's funny. Ross. You see how the folks would be

580
00:28:27,599 --> 00:28:31,839
dropped that in there for no apparent reasons. Yeah, we've

581
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,599
heard Walmart Express delivery. To be a shamed of yourself,

582
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,759
you just should be.

583
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,759
Speaker 4: I'm not. I know you're not. Check it out, folks,

584

Speaker 6: Uh?

586
00:28:43,599 --> 00:28:45,319
Speaker 4: Texans back on the practice field.

587
00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:45,839
Speaker 6: Uh.

588
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 3: And then tomorrow they'll have the killing the Panthers in

589
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:54,920
for a workout. Okay, Bryce Young VCG shroud for how long?

590
00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 7: I mean?

591
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,759
Speaker 4: I want CG playing on Saturday a little bit, don't you.

592
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: I don't care. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say something crazy, Matt.

593
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,559
I'm gonna trust this coaching staff to play him how

594
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,440
much ever they want. Let me ask you this, This

595
00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:11,039
is a real honest question. Has hej been hit since

596
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:13,799
starting training camp? Probably not? So don't you feel like

597
00:29:13,839 --> 00:29:17,799
you need to get hit? One for what? Why? Zero time?

598
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:19,240
I think he knows what it feels like. He's been

599
00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:21,519
playing quarterbacks since he could walk. Probably, But doesn't he

600
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:22,960
realize this offensive line's gone?

601
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:23,279
Speaker 2: You know what?

602
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 4: It's Actually he shouldn't beginning hit because he's gonna get.

603
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 3: Hit a lot more. Yeah. Week one against the Rams

604
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,000
he can hit a lot. Unfortunately. Yeah, just as long

605
00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:33,079
as his head's not hitting the turf like he did

606
00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:37,240
and when he was against the Jets, I feel like

607
00:29:37,319 --> 00:29:40,240
he got can cut, especially his rookie season. Oh I

608
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,640
think there's been multiple concussions in his life. Yes, I

609
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,799
think only one was one or did he get one

610
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,559
last year, which the courch. The question then becomes, how

611
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,000
does the NFL allow that to happen? Because you've got

612
00:29:53,079 --> 00:29:56,680
and you've got an independent doctor upstairs who's got his eye,

613
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,880
his binoculars on watching all the players, it'd be hard

614
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,319
to get away with it. But there's also some places

615
00:30:04,319 --> 00:30:06,799
in the NFL that have I mean, for instance, that

616
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,359
MetLife Stadium turf in New York is supposed to be horrific.

617
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,039
It is, and I'm surprised that more players don't get

618
00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:17,680
hurt on that turf. So I don't know, it's just yeah,

619
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,359
you're maybe right. CJ doesn't need to feel the brunt

620
00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:22,960
of that pain. No, because against the Rams is gonna

621
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:28,759
feel it. Hopefully it's got that line, that line's protecting him. Yeah,

622
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,599
arianta Urseri is ready at right tackle. Cam Robinson may

623
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,400
be ready to play at left tackle, but we'll see

624
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:36,039
ol blind say, isn't gonna be an issue there?

625
00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 8: All right?

626
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 3: Uh, Brian Bogusvik's gonna join us in seventeen minutes here

627
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:43,000
on the Sports Talk seven ninety machine, that is the

628
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,839
Matt Thomas Show with Ross seven one three two one

629
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,359
two five seven nine zero seven one three two one

630
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,000
two five seven ninety. If you're on Twitter, we'd love

631
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,880
to have you at at Sports Empty, at sports RV,

632
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,960
and of course our at seven pine eight account. We

633
00:30:59,079 --> 00:31:03,480
do have a a Twitter poll question. We're gonna try

634
00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:05,519
to keep doing this on a daily basis here, and

635
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:07,839
the question is how you feeling today about the Astros

636
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,559
now that they're tied with the Mariners atop the American

637
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,720
League West. Your choices are Astros got this, MS will

638
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,319
win the West or too close to call fifty one percent.

639
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,920
Still feel like the Astros got this, the MS to

640
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,160
win the West at twenty two percent, too close to

641
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,640
call twenty seven percent. ESPN ROSSI has something called a

642
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:33,799
sports Misery Index. Okay, we're gonna play the Sports Memory

643
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,079
Misery Index game we come back, so get ready for that.

644
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,519
Play along with us here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

645
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,599
There are five levels to your sports misery index, according

646
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,680
to ESPN Ross. So stay with me on this. If

647
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,240
you're the higher the number of the more woeful your

648
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,839
squad is, or your sports fandom is. If you score

649
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,640
between eighty to one hundred, you are the low lows.

650
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,759
We wouldn't wish this on anyone, almost anyone. Okay. Flailing

651
00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:07,880
is between sixty and seventy nine. Some teams have it worse.

652
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,680
It might take a minute to think of them, though.

653
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,920
Meh is forty to fifty nine of the misery index.

654
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:16,000
Feeling somewhat ambivalent, you find yourself looking up at your

655

704
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,000
This is the bot does this? You are meh? You

00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:55,800

706
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,159
The Rockets are fifteenth among the thirty NBA teams in

707
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,039
misery Nicks.

708
00:35:02,559 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 4: That seemed with that seems actually a little that's.

709
00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 3: Thirty misery. Well, why you verty straight losing season? Well,

710
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,039
you've been a fan for fifty years or lower. Well

711
00:35:14,119 --> 00:35:18,239
you tell me when the two championships were thirty years ago. Yeah,

712
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,199
but you're a fan of more than fifteen though. Yeah,

713
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,719
it was great. I remember the great times going to

714
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:29,360
the parades. Team won fifty plus games last year? Yes, okay,

715
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:33,760
and uh it doesn't seem miserable. It just seems it

716
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,119
could be better. Yeah. I would say you take the

717
00:35:36,159 --> 00:35:40,039
bad years with the sixtieth plus lost season three years

718
00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:42,639
in a row, and then you add the fifty one

719
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,239
year plus the playoffs before that with Hardening, Chris Paul

720
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,480
and with Russell Westbrook. Yeah, it feels mad. The Astros

721
00:35:51,639 --> 00:35:55,559
twenty ninth, that's good, that's great, that's great. The only

722
00:35:55,639 --> 00:35:58,280
team that feels better about themselves are the Dodgers. I

723
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,559
was gonna say Dodgers. The Dodgers. Okay, now the big one.

724
00:36:04,119 --> 00:36:07,159
Where are the Texans in the misery list? Oh my god,

725
00:36:07,159 --> 00:36:09,360
they got to be way down there, number eleven. Yeah,

726
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,079
oh okay. The higher the number of the word the

727
00:36:12,119 --> 00:36:14,800
worship got. So you were eleven out of the thirty teams.

728
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,480
So so nineteen teams and their fan bases feel better

729
00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:22,360
about themselves than the Houston Texans do because again, you

730
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,920
make the playoffs, yeah, and you win some divisional games. Yeah,

731
00:36:26,119 --> 00:36:29,079
and you you got some hope for the future. You

732
00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:31,280
blank the bet in the divisional playoffs. You had huge

733
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,800
hopes that c J. Stroud is going to be a

734
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,079
top five quarterback, and now he's top ten ish and

735
00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:38,679
he's time for ninth according to the Athletic Yeah, yeah,

736
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:39,320
it's top ten.

737
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 4: H Okay.

738
00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 3: So this thing was, this is ai driven thing, and

739
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,280
it's not particularly entertaining by it. I want to see

740
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,079
what it how would pace everything? I don't feel that miserable.

741
00:36:48,119 --> 00:36:50,400
Maybe it's just because the Astros are are very good.

742
00:36:52,199 --> 00:36:55,079
What's my most miserable thing right now? Oh yeah? Can

743
00:36:55,119 --> 00:36:56,599
you put the Houston Cougars in there. Well, here's what

744
00:36:56,599 --> 00:37:01,320
I'm gonna say. I am ridiculously excited about Cougar basketball.

745
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,719
But however, however, if they don't win the championship, I'm

746
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,639
gonna be just as miserable as I was when they

747
00:37:09,679 --> 00:37:13,679
lost the championship to Florida Championship bust Or mentality will

748
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:14,440
drive you nuts.

749
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:15,559
Speaker 4: But that's where I'm at.

750
00:37:15,639 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: No matter who you are, you're gonna be disappointed, way, way,

751
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,079
way more often than not. Okay, Okay, especially in a

752
00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:23,599
one and done tournament. That's hard.

753
00:37:23,679 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 4: It is hard.

754
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,519
Speaker 3: That's why. That's why the misery is so high. They

755
00:37:26,559 --> 00:37:28,920
were better than Florida. They're better team than Florida if

756
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,840
they play better than Duke. But they beat Dupe, and

757
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,480
that's true. That's another that's a good point. Duke was better.

758
00:37:33,639 --> 00:37:35,679
I think Duke Wicks wins six out of ten, and

759
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,360
I think the Cougars win six out of ten against

760
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,960
the Florida, maybe even seven. So that's who I am

761
00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:44,159
right now as we speak here on August thirteenth of

762
00:37:44,199 --> 00:37:49,239
twenty twenty five. My astro misery is rather low because

763
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,920
I've already tasted championships and I know this team has

764
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:58,039
been beset by so many injuries. My rocket misery is

765
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,880
minimal because Kevin Durant just came here and I'm really

766
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,880
expecting a lot of things to be fun and coming

767
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:08,199
up this next season. Texans I'm not really a fan of,

768
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,960
so I'm indifferent to it. They do greatest, fine if

769
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,000
they're miserable. I don't car either way. Misery is like

770
00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:20,360
White Sox. Misery is like Charlotte Hornets Colorado Rockies. But

771
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,679
even the Rockies know what it was. They made series.

772
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,519
Speaker 4: They got their ass swept out right.

773
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 3: But think about this, but that, but they but they

774
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,000
at least they know.

775
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,559
Speaker 4: What does Charlotte Hornet fan know?

776
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 3: The greatest player ever to play in basketball owned your

777
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,519
team for a while, and all you did was lose

778
00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:42,000
sixty games. That's misery. And now my Cougars on the

779
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,199
basketball side, if if they don't win the national championship,

780
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,480
I'm gonna be a hot mess and.

781
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,119
Speaker 4: You're gonna text me sorry for your loss.

782
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 3: I didn't text you that, did it. You meant it

783
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,400
that you meant to No, I didn't you telepathically did it.

784
00:38:55,519 --> 00:38:58,960
I showed you some grace. And you know what I

785
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,920
got on top of that? What the VID? So the

786
00:39:02,199 --> 00:39:03,800
now only that I lose a championship, I got the VID,

787
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,360
we got the code. It was a double doozy of disaster.

788
00:39:08,119 --> 00:39:11,000
That's why when they your team lost the championship in

789
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,679
heartbreaking fashion fashion, you spent a lot of money getting

790
00:39:13,679 --> 00:39:18,320
over there, and you caught COVID, correct Yeah, that's right,

791
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,400
that's misery. Yeah, but they were in the championship game.

792
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,079
That's not miserable. I know you're feeling miserable about it,

793
00:39:26,159 --> 00:39:30,199
but I was feeling miserable about it. Poor Kelvin Sampson,

794
00:39:30,199 --> 00:39:32,559
who I love more than life itself. I want, I

795
00:39:32,559 --> 00:39:38,119
want to be my father figure. Okay he was George Michael.

796
00:39:38,199 --> 00:39:41,360
That makes sure you you saw the cult. Try after

797
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,960
the game, he's like, m I don't know what happened.

798
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,039
I mean people get Yeah, he say a little snake

799
00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:50,800
bit and it was bad. What was it the year before?

800
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,400
Who got hurt?

801
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 4: H Was it Jamal shed that got hurt?

802
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:54,679
Speaker 9: Yeah?

803
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, they could have won it. Then we need it.

804
00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:03,199
The city Houston needs it. I don't think for my

805
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,519
mental health. I got the Astros. I know you need it.

806
00:40:05,559 --> 00:40:07,159
I got the Astros to get my title for my

807
00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:10,000
astro fandom. I got my Rockets as a PA announcer.

808
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,039
I need one more title from the Rockets, and I

809
00:40:12,119 --> 00:40:14,840
need my Cougars to win the finally win the national championship.

810
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,239
So j Berni's like people I work with, and stop

811
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,280
talking about all the golf championships we have and we

812
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,559
can stage a full segment of Cougar fans calling in

813
00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:24,719
and dunking on me. Oh god, it'd be gold. Can't

814
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,559
wait to shut my mess up. I think I'd be

815
00:40:26,639 --> 00:40:31,599
fantastic seven one, five, seven. You know they don't love you.

816
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,960
Every time I go somewhere. You tell Rossall showed his

00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,599
bumb mess up. Oh they're so cute. Fans think they're

818
00:40:38,599 --> 00:40:40,440
so big time and they're not. No, they just think

819
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,000
that you're just belligerent and mean and rude. Well, it's

820
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,320
mostly part of the bit of the it's it's mostly

821
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,840
a bit, mostly a bit, I can tell you that

822
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,920
completely a bit. Seven to join us to start the

823

Show TV on Space City Radio right here on Sports Talk,

00:41:22,159 --> 00:41:25,000
Bogie will be joining me Friday with you out ten

831
00:41:25,039 --> 00:41:25,440
to twelve.

832
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 4: Well, look at are you gonna talk Texans and Panthers?

833
00:41:28,559 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 3: That's good.

834
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 4: I can't wait to hear your analysis on that.

835
00:41:31,119 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 8: Wait two hours of two lane football in the American

836
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:35,000
Conference here?

837
00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, a serious question. We're good to the astros.

838
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,400
How much two lane stuff do you talk about with

839
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,679
your buddies and your family and the lums and that

840
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:43,159
kind of thing.

841
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,079
Speaker 8: Very little? I mean, our our discussions have moved on

842
00:41:49,199 --> 00:41:52,280
from college stuff. I mean there's very little, honestly, turning

843
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,480
baseball season. We'll talk a little college baseball, but in

844
00:41:54,559 --> 00:41:58,000
terms of following football, basketball, it is as casual as

845
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:58,400
it gets.

846
00:41:58,599 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 5: Well.

847
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 3: One of my best friends is the voy to the Pelicans, Teographini.

848
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,400
He used to be the voice of Tulane. All he

849
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,000
does is text me Tulane stuff over and over and

850
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,440
over again. I feel like the two you should be

851
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:08,480
bros or something.

852
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,679
Speaker 8: We are from a long time ago.

853
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 3: All right, big opener against Northwestern August thirtieth, all.

854
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,119
Speaker 8: The smart kids playing football.

855
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 3: Is there a.

856
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 4: Dummy in the mix in that group? Jesus, that's crazy?

857
00:42:21,079 --> 00:42:26,039
Speaker 3: All right? So start number two for Arrogatty. Now, giving

858
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:28,320
up the two runs was good. The walk count was

859
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,199
not obviously a thought about what you saw yesterday from

860
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,079
the starter who man has got a lot of pressure

861
00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:36,159
on him over the next forty or so days.

862
00:42:36,639 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say looking at yesterday and the first start,

863
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,159
even down in Miami, it's a little bit disappointing that

864
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,920
he's not sharper. You know, there was command issues that

865
00:42:47,039 --> 00:42:50,599
kind of ran through both of those starts. From a

866
00:42:50,639 --> 00:42:54,840
stuff standpoint, though, it's pretty encouraging. I mean, the fastball velocity,

867
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,760
the life on the fastball, those are both good. The

868
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,920
shape of the breaking ball, the spin of the breaking ball,

869
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,639
that all looks good. So there is reason to be optimistic.

870
00:43:03,679 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 10: You know.

871
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,119
Speaker 8: The first start, he got a ton of swings and misses. Yesterday,

872
00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:10,320
even being constantly behind an account, constantly having to deal

873
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,000
with runners on base, he was still able to win

874
00:43:13,159 --> 00:43:16,039
in the strike zone when he was in the strike zone,

875
00:43:16,519 --> 00:43:18,400
So there is a lot to light there. He's just

876
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,039
got to get better command, get all those pitches working.

877
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,719
You know, his repertoire as a whole versus all of

878
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,519
his pitches is kind of being, you know, one individual

879
00:43:26,559 --> 00:43:30,000
pitch after another. So yeah, not as sharp as maybe

880
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:32,719
we had hoped from a guy who's not coming off

881
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,960
of an arm injury. But he looks a lot like

882
00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:38,039
he did early on in the season last year. He

883
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:40,400
made a lot of adjustments and was much better late.

884
00:43:40,519 --> 00:43:43,199
Hopefully those same adjustments can happen on a much quicker

885
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:44,360
timeline this year.

886
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 3: Do you think he's thinking about, Man, I really want

887
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,920
to get back in the groove of these things of

888
00:43:52,039 --> 00:43:54,280
pitching every fifth day, I miss so much time. Oh,

889
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,119
by the way, my squad needs me because I've got

890
00:43:57,159 --> 00:44:01,119
injuries in my bullpen. Now I've got uncertain my starting rotation.

891
00:44:01,679 --> 00:44:05,360
I've got Hobvier just coming back for personally, for Spencer,

892
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:08,239
he what didn't go through Tommy John, He didn't go

893
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,519
through the stuff that makes you miss twelve fourteen, sixteen months,

894
00:44:11,559 --> 00:44:13,719
two years. What's going through his mind? Do you think

895
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,679
for him over the next handful of weeks.

896
00:44:16,159 --> 00:44:19,079
Speaker 8: Well, you know, he's been around the team all year,

897
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,400
you know. Besides, you know when he at the end

898
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:22,840
of the rehead when he goes down to Florida to

899
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,840
get stretched out. So he knows everything that's been going on.

900
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,960
He knows the injuries that have racked up. He knows

901
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,480
that this team has been kind of piecing it together

902
00:44:30,599 --> 00:44:33,119
waiting for everybody to get back. So he understands the

903
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,119
deal and the optimism of getting these guys back, and

904
00:44:36,159 --> 00:44:37,400
maybe there's a little bit of pressure.

905
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: I think.

906
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,199
Speaker 8: You know, what we have to remember with Spencer is

907
00:44:41,199 --> 00:44:43,679
that this is only the second year, and he didn't

908
00:44:43,679 --> 00:44:46,239
even get a full season last year at that so

909
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,920
he's still very early in the learning process. This was

910
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,199
still going to be a big development year for Spencer Araghetti,

911
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,760
regardless of getting injured or not. So the idea that

912
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,960
he's just going to come off of a long layoff

913
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:02,440
just immediately go in there and just be, you know,

914
00:45:02,559 --> 00:45:06,880
essentially the savior of a rotation, that's pretty unrealistic, you know,

915
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,920
for us to expect from him, from him, to expect

916
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:11,519
from himself. I think just looking at it through the

917
00:45:11,559 --> 00:45:15,440
lens of what he did last year and learning things

918
00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:18,280
in a given start and applying them into the next start,

919
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,559
if we can see that growth start overstart, I think

920
00:45:21,599 --> 00:45:23,760
by the end of the year, or maybe even after

921
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,480
four or five starts, I think it'll be the guy

922
00:45:26,519 --> 00:45:28,360
that we were hoping to see coming out of the shoots.

923
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,679
Speaker 3: Here Bogie. This Astros Clubhouse, whatever version has been over

924
00:45:32,679 --> 00:45:34,960
the last seven or eight years, has been cool and calm,

925
00:45:35,079 --> 00:45:37,920
never so down when things are down, never so up

926
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,360
when they're on a hot streak.

927
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 4: They've seen a ten game deficit eraced.

928
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,079
Speaker 3: Now in twenty twenty five, they've seen a seven game

929
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:49,239
lead race. It's hard to measure what that brahmin of

930
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,679
that clubhouse is because it's so many new guys. But

931
00:45:52,119 --> 00:45:55,480
take us through what you think the general culture is

932
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,119
still without two b in there, still with a lot

933
00:45:58,119 --> 00:46:00,400
of veteran leaders, but yet at the same time knowing

934
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,159
that the injury buck continues to hamper this team, and

935
00:46:03,199 --> 00:46:04,920
all by the way, the team behind him. The Sattle

936
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,880
Mariners haven't lost since I think the first of the year.

937
00:46:08,119 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think, you know, just the circumstances of the

938
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,039
season have changed, right, Everything is fluid throughout the course

939
00:46:14,039 --> 00:46:16,719
of the season. Sometimes you're the team getting healthy, sometimes

940
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,599
you're the team getting hurt. Sometimes you're chasing, sometimes you're

941
00:46:19,679 --> 00:46:23,440
being chased. And you know, it sounds so cliche that

942
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,639
the one game at a time type of thing, but

943
00:46:26,039 --> 00:46:28,480
you can't get through one hundred and sixty two games

944
00:46:28,559 --> 00:46:31,800
thinking about a big picture constantly, and you can't get through,

945
00:46:32,159 --> 00:46:34,239
you know, a decade of seasons. Like a guy like

946
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,400
jose L two. They are some of these veterans by

947
00:46:36,559 --> 00:46:41,280
constantly being big picture oriented because it's overwhelming. So if

948
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,599
you're going to have a mindset when you know you're

949
00:46:44,679 --> 00:46:46,639
chasing somebody in the standings of hey, we just got

950
00:46:46,679 --> 00:46:48,119
to go out there, win a game, win a series,

951
00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:51,199
you're going to apply that same thing when it's the

952
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,239
other way around and you're the team that was out

953
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,159
in the lead that has now been chased down because

954
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,599
there's really nothing else you can do can do. You

955
00:46:57,639 --> 00:46:59,480
can go out there and you can worry about what's

956
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,599
it going to look like the next you know, forty

957
00:47:01,639 --> 00:47:04,440
plus games, who are we playing in the upcoming week?

958
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,760
Who are the Mariners playing? None of that matters, And

959
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,480
to get to the success level that these guys have

960
00:47:09,599 --> 00:47:13,079
gotten to, they know how to compartmentalize those things. They

961
00:47:13,159 --> 00:47:15,679
know how to stay focused on the day to day

962
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,159
stuff because that's the stuff that really matters. So when

963
00:47:18,199 --> 00:47:21,199
it's going good or going bad, it really is the

964
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,800
same mindset regardless.

965
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we have fans and media of course are

966
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,360
hanging more on every pitch and every game and the

967
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,000
results of that. But you don't think that's necessarily bleeding

968
00:47:31,079 --> 00:47:34,480
into the batter's boxer in the field, No way.

969
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 8: I mean, it's the same thing whether you're you're you know,

970
00:47:38,559 --> 00:47:40,800
got a twenty game hitting streak, or you're in a

971
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,320
long slump. You're going there, you're getting your work in,

972
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,840
you're game planning, you're going through scouting, of course you're

973
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,119
doing it's all about the preparation. And then you go

974
00:47:48,119 --> 00:47:50,119
out there and just play. And once you're out there

975
00:47:50,159 --> 00:47:52,880
and just playing, what happened yesterday was the last ten

976
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,760
days or what's going to happen, you know, ten days

977
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,639
from now. It really doesn't matter, and it can't matter

978
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,440
because you know, you've got enough to worry about when

979
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,079
you're standing out there in the batter spots.

980
00:48:01,199 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 3: Brian Bogosvik with us here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

981
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,079
Why has Carlos Curry been so good at the plate

982
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,239
back in a Nastro's uniform.

983
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,039
Speaker 8: You know, when you hear Carlos talk about hitting, he's

984
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:19,039
very rarely talking about mechanics, and he's always talking about approach. Approach, approach, approach,

985
00:48:19,119 --> 00:48:21,320
having an approach for a pitch, for a bat, for

986
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,079
a game, for a one on one matchup, or even

987
00:48:24,119 --> 00:48:26,920
the team. And you know, kind of the definition of

988
00:48:27,079 --> 00:48:30,760
approach in my book is what are you doing to

989
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:35,000
tip the scales in your favor? Because the batter pitcher matchup.

990
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:37,719
Everything favors the pitcher. It's an impossible thing to do,

991
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:40,280
you know, hitting a baseball in general. The fielders are

992
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,880
so good, So how can you go out there? You know,

993
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,480
take into account what the picture's repertoire is, take into

994
00:48:45,519 --> 00:48:48,239
account the game situation where the defense is playing, what

995
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,000
that picture's out pitches. You know, how do you factor

996
00:48:51,079 --> 00:48:54,239
all of those things in to give yourself a better chance.

997
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,199
And when you watch Carlos go out there and early

998
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,599
on in account, he's obviously hunting pitches, looking for something

999
00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:02,800
that he can drive, something that he can do damage

1000
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,079
on later in the count. He'll try to take away

1001
00:49:05,079 --> 00:49:07,599
a pitcher's best pitch and not give them that put

1002
00:49:07,639 --> 00:49:10,320
away two strike pitch. He'll shorten up, and a pitch

1003
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,519
that maybe takes a big swing at in a one

1004
00:49:12,559 --> 00:49:14,719
to zero count, he'll just kind of punch to right

1005
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,000
field in a two strike count. So watching him go

1006
00:49:17,039 --> 00:49:20,920
out there and just execute and just really fight tooth

1007
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,480
and nail on every single pitch, you can really appreciate

1008
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,440
how he gets to the results. Where we look up

1009
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,719
after you know whatever, it's been ten twelve games, and

1010
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,760
the numbers have been really good, and I think that

1011
00:49:33,079 --> 00:49:35,800
is going to start to bleed over into some of

1012
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,519
the younger players and just the team as a whole

1013
00:49:38,599 --> 00:49:41,519
and just trying to have those really drawn out, knockout,

1014
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:43,840
drag out type of that bats ballgame.

1015
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 3: We were looking at MLB Network in our studio here

1016
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,599
just a minute ago, and they just went through the

1017
00:49:48,639 --> 00:49:51,480
lineup one through nine for the Mariners. Eight of their

1018
00:49:51,599 --> 00:49:54,199
nine batters have an OPS plus right now of one

1019
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:58,079
hundred plus. That sadly cannot be said for the local nine,

1020
00:49:58,119 --> 00:50:01,199
although there are numbers that are improving, Christian Walker being

1021
00:50:01,199 --> 00:50:05,679
one of them. How are you going to outslug the

1022
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,960
Seattle Mariners to this fight of the finish in the

1023
00:50:08,039 --> 00:50:11,280
very last forty games or so of the season. Well,

1024
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:12,360
I think we're.

1025
00:50:12,199 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 8: Going to see, you know, the last six eight weeks

1026
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,840
of the season. Whatever it is. It's a different version

1027
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,599
of this team. It's different guys in general. When you

1028
00:50:22,599 --> 00:50:25,719
look post trade deadline, it's different versions of a guy

1029
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,960
like Christian Walker, who finally looks settled in, you know,

1030
00:50:29,039 --> 00:50:32,119
knocked on wood. If Jorden gets back, that changes everything.

1031
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:33,920
So I don't think you have to look at it

1032
00:50:34,079 --> 00:50:36,239
from a big picture number standpoint can they hit with

1033
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,920
the Mariners, Yeah, they can, and the end of the

1034
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,960
year numbers might not show it, but I think this

1035
00:50:43,079 --> 00:50:44,559
is going to be a lineup and they're going to

1036
00:50:44,599 --> 00:50:47,199
have to because you know, the injuries are not going

1037
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,360
away when you look at what's going on with Josh Hitter,

1038
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,400
They're going to have to score runs to win games.

1039
00:50:52,639 --> 00:50:54,800
And now you know, there's a lot more length in

1040
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,920
the lineup. There's a lot more guys that can can

1041
00:50:57,159 --> 00:50:59,039
can hurt you in the lineup, and there's a lot

1042
00:50:59,079 --> 00:51:02,360
of guys who aren't necessarily feeling the pressure of being

1043
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,199
the one or two guys that it's going to have

1044
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,599
to be them on any given day otherwise there's not

1045
00:51:06,599 --> 00:51:07,960
going to be aybody else to.

1046
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,519
Speaker 3: Do it if Jordan does not come back. Forgetting about

1047
00:51:11,559 --> 00:51:16,039
the offense, what's the best Astros? I guess, combined defense

1048
00:51:16,039 --> 00:51:17,000
and offense? Outfield?

1049
00:51:17,039 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 4: Do you see the rest of the way for the

1050
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,199
Houston Astros.

1051
00:51:20,639 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 3: In the outfield?

1052
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,079
Speaker 8: I think it's probably you know, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll

1053
00:51:26,159 --> 00:51:28,400
leave out the fact of does Jake Myers come back

1054
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,000
or not. Hopefully he does soon, but right now it's

1055
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,320
probably a platoon in center field. Uh, Trommel and Chaz

1056
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,079
if he can get it going a little bit, which

1057
00:51:37,079 --> 00:51:39,920
it looks like maybe he's gotten it going just a

1058
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,519
little bit. You know, Cam Smith is your right fielder,

1059
00:51:42,639 --> 00:51:45,760
Jesus Sanchez in left field. If you want to try

1060
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,880
to work not I wouldn't say a platoon, but piecing

1061
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,599
together if you want to try to hide Cam from

1062
00:51:50,639 --> 00:51:53,320
a tough riety and move Sanchez into right field. But

1063
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,679
it's some combination of those two guys in the corner

1064
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,760
and then you know, mixing al tuove in there if

1065
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,360
need be right?

1066
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 4: Do you like this real quick? Do you like this?

1067
00:52:03,199 --> 00:52:04,760
Or I like five game?

1068
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,559
Speaker 3: League? Guy? My partner over here to my right loves

1069
00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:10,320
the anticipation of this being playoff time starting right now.

1070
00:52:10,599 --> 00:52:12,519
Speaker 4: Where are you on what we have seen?

1071
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 3: Because the Mariners don't lose and the Astros are playing

1072
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,719
a little bit under five hundred these days.

1073
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,159
Speaker 8: Yeah, as a fan, I'm excited. I'm excited for a

1074
00:52:20,159 --> 00:52:22,880
lot of meaningful baseball. I'm excited for a lot of

1075
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,800
you know, high energy games coming down the stretch. As

1076
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,880
a player and as a guy, you know watching a

1077
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,159
team that he knows wants to make a deep playoff run.

1078
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,400
It would be really nice to have the last week

1079
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,880
or so of the season be sign field and delivered

1080
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:39,960
and you start to kind of line things up for

1081
00:52:40,079 --> 00:52:43,880
the postseason. But no, as a fan, you know there's

1082
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,360
nothing better than coming out to the ballpark every day

1083
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,519
and they're be kind of being those butterflies and that feeling,

1084
00:52:50,519 --> 00:52:52,320
and you get that in the playoffs, and the idea

1085
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,000
of maybe getting that to the last month of the season,

1086
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:56,320
that would be.

1087
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 9: A lot of fun.

1088
00:52:57,159 --> 00:52:59,119

We got to shut your bum ass up. Coming up

1105
00:53:44,559 --> 00:53:45,840
at the bottom of the hour, I've got one for

1106
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:52,960
the state of Texas. Oh oh, So I want to

1107
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,840
just briefly bring this up to you. What's going on

1108
00:53:55,039 --> 00:53:58,320
in a city I used to live in Minneapolis, Saint Paul. Uh.

1109
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,639
I was a Saint Paul guy. Loved it there. The

1110
00:54:01,679 --> 00:54:04,719
weather was maybe like the crips and the bloods. No,

1111
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:11,960
it was the uh. No, Minneapolis is very cosmopolitan, somewhat bougie.

1112
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,360
Saint Paul is more working class, family kind of thing.

1113
00:54:17,159 --> 00:54:19,960
Minneapolis more it's a pretty good comp to what you would.

1114
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,960
I don't know if Dallas Fort Worth it'd be because

1115
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,000
Forts got some horty twity aries too, so it's even

1116
00:54:25,039 --> 00:54:32,079
a bad example. I don't know they do. But uh,

1117
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,639
there are two incredibly different cities separated by eight miles.

1118
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,880
It's really bizarre. Really enjoyed my time there a lot

1119
00:54:39,199 --> 00:54:41,079
The main reason why I left was two reasons why

1120
00:54:41,159 --> 00:54:44,639
my kids and my wife missed their families here in Texas,

1121
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,920
and to the weather is atrocious. I mean, it's just

1122
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,320
it's almost unbearable. How many months of the year is

1123
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:58,800
it too cold? Six that's too many. It's it's hard

1124
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:04,039
to live there. To send to May. Yeah, November can

1125
00:55:04,039 --> 00:55:07,639
get pretty dice. I remember bundling up on a Halloween. Really,

1126
00:55:07,679 --> 00:55:08,519
bundling up.

1127
00:55:10,119 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 4: January is.

1128
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,039
Speaker 3: Cruel to it the human body minus thirteen, it's just ridiculous. Yeah, Okay,

1129
00:55:18,079 --> 00:55:23,239
So my point is this huge sports town, big vikings,

1130
00:55:23,599 --> 00:55:29,000
big unhockey, basketball getting there. Baseball, the Twins have been

1131
00:55:29,039 --> 00:55:31,159
around them since the sixties, haven't won a World Series

1132
00:55:31,199 --> 00:55:35,760
since nineteen ninety one. But yet they draw very very well,

1133
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,599
diehard group. They knew who they are, they know they're

1134
00:55:38,599 --> 00:55:40,760
not going to outspend people. They know they don't get

1135
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,800
the free agents. Typically, when they got Carlos Grad few

1136
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,320
years ago, it was a big freaking deal with them

1137
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,159
because Carlos Grid just doesn't those those types don't choose

1138
00:55:47,159 --> 00:55:50,480
the Minnesota Twins. Well, a lot of that was because

1139
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,119
other teams are saying no thanks to Carlos. Yeah, I

1140
00:55:53,159 --> 00:55:59,000
love Minnesota. Yeah. Yeah. The owners of the team are

1141
00:55:59,039 --> 00:56:00,880
the pole Ed family. They've own the team since the

1142
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:05,239
mid eighties, and they're MISI. It would be too strong

1143
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,480
of a term, but they're not going to be They're

1144
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,719
not Jim Crane. That's why I want to bring this up,

1145
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,360
because there's a central point of this is that for

1146
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:16,800
all the criticism that maybe Jim Crane gets, it's it's

1147
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,079
just first, it's unfounded that he spends money. He doesn't

1148
00:56:20,079 --> 00:56:23,000
spend the crazy contracts. Yes, and we're frankly seeing a

1149
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,800
lot of that these days. I mean, Alex Breiman went

1150
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,559
to go get that crazy contract and he may not

1151
00:56:26,639 --> 00:56:28,440
even get it. He may get a better deal, but

1152
00:56:28,519 --> 00:56:31,239
he still may not get that super mega deal. I'm

1153
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:37,639
hoping that Kyle Tucker doesn't get that mega deal. You wrong, Okay,

1154
00:56:37,679 --> 00:56:43,400
seven years I'll accept your cockiness on this is so awesome.

1155
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,719
I cannot wait to win. This has been my greatest

1156
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:50,360
victory if we lived. Okay, and the driver too. Don't

1157
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,880
forget that either. So the pole Adds a couple of

1158
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,639
years ago decided they were going to sell the team,

1159
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:01,400
and everybody in Minnesota's like, oh hell yeah, So what

1160
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,480
did the Twins do at this offseason or this during

1161
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,320
the season. They stripped down last off season, yes, and

1162
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,920
then the trade deadline they traded ten players. I mean,

1163
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,159
they really stripped it down as a fire sale. It's

1164
00:57:12,159 --> 00:57:15,239
a fire sale. So people are like, Okay, now the

1165
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,920
Twins have really made it economically viable for somebody to

1166
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,280
buy their team. They just announced this morning they're not

1167
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,360
selling the team that they've got two They've got two

1168
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,679
minority investors that are going to jump in on the

1169
00:57:27,719 --> 00:57:30,400
fray and they're going to be exciting additions to the

1170
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:35,320
Twins ownership family. So they're not explain that to me.

1171
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,840
They're selling more shares to the minority owners. No, they're

1172
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,800
going to They've gotten new minority owners they're going to

1173
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,000
bring in. Okay, so they're selling parts of the team,

1174
00:57:42,039 --> 00:57:43,880
but they couldn't find somebody to buy it. And I'm

1175
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:48,159
curious to the yea if that's because the sports landscape

1176
00:57:48,239 --> 00:57:52,719
in sports today, won't are finding fewer people to buy

1177
00:57:52,719 --> 00:57:55,480
sports teams, or that the price they were asking for

1178
00:57:55,639 --> 00:57:58,079
was completely atrocious. I mean, I think if you want

1179
00:57:58,079 --> 00:57:59,719
to sell a team, you can sell it. That's when

1180
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,280
I was I mean, is that because these football teams

1181
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,840
are selling for ungodly amounts of money. The Celtics got

1182
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,239
sold for an ungodly amount of money. Yes, the Wolves

1183
00:58:08,559 --> 00:58:12,559
in Minneapolis. I'm very very mid NBA team Oxford Regez

1184
00:58:12,599 --> 00:58:14,400
and his old partner. They's been a lot of money.

1185
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,199
Or what mattas Sheep about the Suns a few years ago.

1186
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,480
There's been a lot of the Lakers sold for crazy

1187
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:24,159
money to the owner of the Dodgers. But maybe what

1188
00:58:24,239 --> 00:58:27,920
about baseball? Though, I've not heard of anybody trying to

1189
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,480
sell a baseball team lately. That's why I'm curious if

1190
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:34,840
it's sports related or it's baseball related.

1191
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:36,639
Speaker 4: But the revenues have been way up in baseball.

1192
00:58:36,679 --> 00:58:38,679
Speaker 3: They're they're gonna get a new television deal this year,

1193
00:58:38,719 --> 00:58:42,079
which usually means a spike it in revenue for whatever

1194
00:58:42,079 --> 00:58:44,840
they're going to go with. The Orioles just sold, That's right.

1195
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,360
I forgot about that Orioles just sold last year? Or

1196
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:52,719
how much one point seventy five billion? NBA teams are

1197
00:58:52,719 --> 00:58:56,079
going for a way above that? Correct? Yes, Rockets are

1198
00:58:56,079 --> 00:58:59,239
worth like six billion? Yeah? Yeah? Is this the Royals

1199
00:58:59,239 --> 00:59:02,880
sold in twenty two? Oh, Steve Cohen bought the Mets

1200
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,679
in twenty twenty. He spent a pretty petty on that

1201
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,119
two and a half billion. So I just the reason

1202
00:59:08,119 --> 00:59:09,719
why I brought this up. I just wanted to say

1203
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,719
that if you are cranky with your ownership in your

1204
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,840
particular of your favorite team, whether it be here in

1205
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,400
town or somewhere else, just know that my friends in

1206
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:22,599
Minneapolis who watched their twins basically stripped the team down

1207
00:59:22,639 --> 00:59:26,519
to a bare minimum. They got a new stadium about

1208
00:59:26,599 --> 00:59:29,119
fifteen years ago, but decided not to put a roof

1209
00:59:29,119 --> 00:59:32,880
on it because the pole ads are miserly and cheap,

1210
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:35,559
and said, we don't need it because we don't want

1211
00:59:35,559 --> 00:59:37,119
to pay for it now that we know, we know

1212
00:59:37,199 --> 00:59:38,559
we need it, but we're just not gonna do it.

1213
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,159
We're just won't schedules in April, yeah, and October they've

1214
00:59:42,159 --> 00:59:44,519
been fine. And so this team is where it is,

1215
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,239
mired in a very mediocre division. I mean, the frenk

1216
00:59:48,639 --> 00:59:51,880
is Detroit's good, but I don't know if anybody's considered

1217
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,239
them a legit World Series candidate. Cleveland doesn't spend money,

1218
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,840
kandas city doesn't spend money, the White Sox are a

1219
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,360
perennial loser. I mean, that's a division that a good

1220
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,400
baseball team or good ownership should win on a regular basis,

1221
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,679
And they find out today that they are staying with

1222
01:00:08,719 --> 01:00:10,960
the Pole II family, at least from a majority standpoint.

1223
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,199
So I just was just I saw that on my

1224
01:00:13,239 --> 01:00:14,400
time on then I was I got to bring that

1225
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,840
up a little bit to say, you know what, sometimes

1226
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,199
it's you got a pretty good where you are. That's

1227
01:00:20,239 --> 01:00:22,880
the c is who's the best owner in Houston? Is

1228
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:23,480
it Jim Crank?

1229
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 8: Oh?

1230
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,559
Speaker 3: I someon does a good job. They spend money. Honestly,

1231
01:00:26,639 --> 01:00:29,679
all three of them are doing a rocket job. Attacks Yeah,

1232
01:00:29,719 --> 01:00:33,039
Hannah's doing great. I mean, Hannah's completely change the image.

1233
01:00:33,199 --> 01:00:35,639
I don't think the Texans are miserly. They're always you

1234
01:00:35,719 --> 01:00:38,119
can't improve NFL. You have no Yeah, but I don't

1235
01:00:38,119 --> 01:00:39,880
know what you mean facilities and stuff like that. Now

1236
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:41,679
because you have this, there's a salary for in a

1237
01:00:41,719 --> 01:00:43,880
salary cap, yes, and everybody goes to the salary cat.

1238
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,760
It could get It could get surly if Hannah comes

1239
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,199
out and says we need money to build refurbish our

1240
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,159
NRG or get a new stadium that or it's gonna

1241
01:00:52,199 --> 01:00:56,800
get really really tough if you lose if you win,

1242
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,920
people are like, I can't wait to spend my money

1243
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,280
on your new facility. Making a super Bowl or at

1244
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,440
least an AFC Championship game is gonna get you votes.

1245
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 4: That's literally crazy.

1246
01:01:05,199 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 3: That's a huge proponent in our factor in this is

1247
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,400
just on field performance. Yes, if we if we did

1248
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,280
a universe if we did a vote where they just

1249
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:14,840
made the super Bowl, and if we did a vote

1250
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,039
where they didn't even make the playoffs, it would be

1251
01:01:17,119 --> 01:01:19,280
vastly different. Isn't that crazy? Like like if we did

1252
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,519
a Paul this question right now and then we saved

1253
01:01:22,559 --> 01:01:24,679
it for twelve months and they go to the Championship

1254
01:01:24,679 --> 01:01:25,960
game or they go to the super Bowl. Even if

1255
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:27,800
they don't win the super Bowl, I bet you that

1256
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:31,119
the survey results would be I wouldn't say a complete

1257
01:01:31,159 --> 01:01:33,039
one eighty, but there would be a significant shift in

1258
01:01:33,079 --> 01:01:36,119
the well we'll do whatever we can. Just know this,

1259
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:40,480
the Texans are not leaving Houston ever. It's just gonna be.

1260
01:01:40,559 --> 01:01:42,920
It's gonna be. There's gonna be some muddy waters for sure,

1261
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:49,599
especially if they don't win. Yeah, and especially if no

1262
01:01:49,599 --> 01:01:51,679
pressure to be going. Cal has to do stuff without

1263
01:01:51,719 --> 01:01:54,320
Hannah by his side because Cal's gonna what does that mean?

1264
01:01:54,639 --> 01:01:57,719
Meaning that he's gonna say something that's gonna be misconstrued

1265
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,480
or not what the team message would want to be.

1266
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,679
That's why going be two more than one foot away

1267
01:02:03,679 --> 01:02:05,239
from him. They got a good muzzle on them. They're

1268
01:02:05,239 --> 01:02:07,159
training them up, and they've hired and they hired a

1269
01:02:07,199 --> 01:02:09,760

1270
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,000

01:02:13,119 --> 01:02:16,320
he's gonna be handling those documents a lot of confidence,

1272
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:17,920

01:04:08,559 --> 01:04:11,320
I don't know. There's been several school shootings in text

1307
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,960
That is my point years now. I don't know if

1308
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,119
they're doing it because they think the kids are distracted,

1309
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,880
or if they think that the kids are using it

1310
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,519
to cheat and look ais being as a huge role.

1311
01:04:21,639 --> 01:04:23,599
Can I just go to handwritten stuff? And never? I mean,

1312
01:04:23,639 --> 01:04:25,599
how can you cheat if everybody has to put their

1313
01:04:25,639 --> 01:04:27,960
phone up and then you do handwritten stuff? Isn't that

1314
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,039
the solution to all this? Here's what I would do.

1315
01:04:30,519 --> 01:04:32,880
And I'm not in education and never been. I've been

1316
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:34,960
to school a long time. Okay. You have a little

1317
01:04:35,039 --> 01:04:36,480
room with a little bag in it. You put your

1318
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,719
phone in when the class starts, and when the class ends,

1319
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,000
you go pick up your phone, or you can get

1320
01:04:40,039 --> 01:04:41,480
the little pouches like they take Have you been to

1321
01:04:41,519 --> 01:04:42,920
a concert where they take up your phone?

1322
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 2: Uh?

1323
01:04:44,039 --> 01:04:48,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it happened at the Dave Chappelle content to

1324
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,880
My daughter's first day of high school was today. There's

1325
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:52,280
a lot of people that are listening to show their

1326
01:04:52,599 --> 01:04:54,800
first day of schools. If I want to get a

1327
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,639
hold of Carly right now, at eleven thirty seven, I

1328
01:04:56,679 --> 01:04:58,880
should be able to do it. I'm sorry I for

1329
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,639
me not develop and again and you're saying, well, you

1330
01:05:00,719 --> 01:05:04,440
didn't have that communication. The counter argument, I get it.

1331
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,480
It's twenty twenty five. They've changed. Yeah, theyre also weren't as.

1332
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 4: Any school violence.

1333
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:14,559
Speaker 3: School violence and school shootings and school period blank happening

1334
01:05:15,239 --> 01:05:17,440
is five hundred percent more than it was thirty five

1335
01:05:17,519 --> 01:05:17,960
years ago.

1336
01:05:19,159 --> 01:05:20,719
Speaker 4: I want to be able to get a hold of Carly.

1337
01:05:21,239 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 3: If I want to say, hey, take the dogs out

1338
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,800
when you get home, then she needs to be able

1339
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,920
to see that. I am against this bill. So I

1340
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,400
would say to Texas now again, I don't want her

1341
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:33,639
using the phone to cheat. I want her to be

1342
01:05:33,679 --> 01:05:35,239
able to drop the phone off from the class arts.

1343
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,320
But if she's at lunch with her buddies, or she's

1344
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:38,960
in the bathroom and she's got her five minute break

1345
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:40,400
and she wants check and see what's going on in

1346
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,440
her life, or when her mom and dad text her,

1347
01:05:42,519 --> 01:05:44,199
or her best friend text her, or whatever the case

1348
01:05:44,199 --> 01:05:48,320
would be. What else is in this bill? Uh, it's

1349
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,480
it's no phones. It's no, it's nothing. It's no tablets,

1350
01:05:51,519 --> 01:05:55,800
none of that stuff. No electronic device is capable of

1351
01:05:55,800 --> 01:06:00,440
telecommunication or digital communication. That includes smartphones, flip phones, tablet,

1352
01:06:00,519 --> 01:06:04,559
smart watches, radio, devices or pagers. So I say to

1353
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,519
the State of Texas, anybody got time for your house bill? Hey,

1354
01:06:08,559 --> 01:06:11,000
nobody got it. And again, may be on the wrong

1355
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,280
side of this, but with all the things going on

1356
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,960
in the world, if the blankets the fan at a

1357
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,519
particular school and I want to say Carli or Yule

1358
01:06:19,599 --> 01:06:21,119
can't guess what, I won't be able to find her

1359
01:06:21,119 --> 01:06:23,000
because I can't get she can't get to her phone

1360
01:06:23,199 --> 01:06:25,840
until after school. It sucks just my own person two

1361
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,719
opinions too. Sorry, Matt, Okay, thank you. I don't have

1362
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:33,159
time for this ESPN misery rating. You said they had

1363
01:06:33,199 --> 01:06:34,800
me feeling med. I'm feeling pleasant.

1364
01:06:35,679 --> 01:06:36,519
Speaker 4: Rockets are doing good.

1365
01:06:36,559 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 3: They just got Kevin Durant. Sure, they haven't won a

1366
01:06:38,519 --> 01:06:44,519
championship since the nineteen nineties, Astros won two championships. Texans

1367
01:06:44,519 --> 01:06:47,320
are looking stagnant, but at least that they're ten in

1368
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:53,800
divisional victories and well, okay, divisional round losses. I'm not

1369
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:59,239
that miserable. Shut you, obamass up misery rating. Shit they

1370
01:06:59,239 --> 01:07:00,679
shut your momss Ai.

1371
01:07:01,199 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, shit, tobam mass up man.

1372
01:07:05,599 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 3: First of all, saday I said you trust Ai. You're

1373
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:14,639
gonna fill as wrong A lot way too much. I'm

1374
01:07:14,679 --> 01:07:18,039
telling you. In fact, when I do I think you

1375
01:07:18,079 --> 01:07:21,079
can do like a slash no AI or something like

1376
01:07:21,079 --> 01:07:23,039
that at the end of your Google searches. I need

1377
01:07:23,079 --> 01:07:26,199
to start doing that. It's just wrong. It's just it's

1378
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,000
it's well, it's it's not only wrong, but it's dated stuff.

1379
01:07:29,039 --> 01:07:30,719
It's very off the wrong. I know somebody that was

1380
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,679
at a trivia night and the guy had looked up

1381
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:38,880
the trivia questions on AI, and he looked up the

1382
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,239
trivia question was who's the only astro to win an

1383
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:47,360
MVP award? There's been two. I'll so some people said

1384
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,079
bagwell and got it wrong, and that there was a

1385
01:07:49,079 --> 01:07:54,000
whole trivia night controversy because AI since this this season

1386
01:07:54,039 --> 01:07:57,320
was ended by the strike, but still he's nineteen ninety

1387
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:01,719
four National League MVP. It is correct. So there the

1388
01:08:02,119 --> 01:08:05,119
it's costing people in trivia night. There's like controversy.

1389
01:08:05,199 --> 01:08:06,519
Speaker 4: We can't have that, right, No.

1390
01:08:06,719 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 3: We can't have people drinking seventeen Gins and Tonics and

1391
01:08:09,559 --> 01:08:14,159
losing the The trivia night is a whole uproar gift

1392
01:08:14,159 --> 01:08:18,359
covers to do it, trivia night? What's trivia?

1393
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Hey?

1394
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 3: I shout to bum mess, up shot, bum Mess, up man, what's.

1395
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:23,359
Speaker 4: Cheery night guy?

1396
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 3: Like? By the way, oh, trivia night's actually I think

1397
01:08:26,359 --> 01:08:27,640
describe trivia night guy.

1398
01:08:28,159 --> 01:08:29,119
Speaker 4: Trivia night guy.

1399
01:08:29,079 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's probably nerds who like to have a couple

1400
01:08:31,039 --> 01:08:33,039
of drinks and prove to everyone else smart they are.

1401
01:08:33,119 --> 01:08:35,560
Speaker 4: Can I tell you when I'm trivia night guy, what

1402
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:35,920
I do?

1403
01:08:36,199 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 3: Okay? I try to answer the question before the question

1404
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,399
is even finished, and you shout it because yeah, because

1405
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,520
I should write it down. No, we can. You can

1406
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,439
do a shout if you want to. No, you're here

1407
01:08:46,279 --> 01:08:49,239
very proud upon Okay, I'm just gonna tell you for

1408
01:08:49,319 --> 01:08:51,760
you single fellas out there, if you and a couple

1409
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,000
of bros see like two girls at a trivia night. Hey,

1410
01:08:55,079 --> 01:08:56,880
you guys want to make a team, and we should.

1411
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,399
We only have two people. That way we can get

1412
01:08:58,399 --> 01:09:00,319
some more people. It's a great way. And then if

1413
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:02,199
you answer questions wrong and look like a doofist, then

1414
01:09:02,239 --> 01:09:04,920
it's probably not gonna go well. But if you go

1415
01:09:05,039 --> 01:09:08,239
there and you're smart and you interact and then you

1416
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:10,720
prove that you you have some smarts, it's gonna go

1417
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,439
very well for you. I used to be you s

1418
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,039

1419
01:09:16,079 --> 01:09:18,199
was the coach. Oh yeah, I was always the pick

1420
01:09:18,279 --> 01:09:20,960

and I mean this in all due respect, Gary maybe

1626
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:21,439
one of the dumbest people in here. No, y, I

1627
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,680
think Gary makes a lot of good points, you know what.

1628
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 4: I think people understand why you think Gary's cool.

1629
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,279
Speaker 3: By the way, somebody found the thing where the U

1630
01:19:30,279 --> 01:19:31,600
of H was thirty first.

1631
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.

1632
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,159
Speaker 3: Some random guy's ranking of all one hundred and thirty

1633
01:19:35,159 --> 01:19:37,560
six teams. And you're trying to heck like this is

1634
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,079
some sort of a sort of official ranking. Huge deal

1635
01:19:40,119 --> 01:19:42,159
to me, I know, so you know, and you know what,

1636
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:44,880
I shouldn't make fun because this is so pathetic that

1637
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:47,199
a fan base would get excited over this over being

1638
01:19:47,239 --> 01:19:49,840
thirty first and one random person's rankings. What is a

1639
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:50,359
guy's name?

1640
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:51,199
Speaker 5: Uh?

1641
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:57,239
Speaker 3: Yes, one random person. Yes, a college football analyst R J. Young. Well,

1642
01:19:57,319 --> 01:19:59,680
R J Young shout out to you. I heard the

1643
01:20:00,079 --> 01:20:02,159
Let me tast some there are bigger losers than our

1644
01:20:02,239 --> 01:20:03,960
J Young. Go to your YouTube channels and look for

1645
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:08,279
Texans coverage. That's worse. Well, he has the Texas Longhorns

1646
01:20:08,359 --> 01:20:11,880
number one. But let's discount that. Then that doesn't make

1647
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,319
any sense. See, and I didn't discount anything. I just

1648
01:20:14,359 --> 01:20:16,520
think it's it's pretty sad that a fan base, one

1649
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,159
random guy puts your team thirty first, and y'all get

1650
01:20:19,159 --> 01:20:21,520
a whipped up in a frenzy about it.

1651
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:22,279
Speaker 4: It's called respect.

1652
01:20:22,319 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 3: I don't want to make fun of the pathetic history

1653
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:28,520
of Houston Cougar's football. So we not. We took care

1654
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:30,640
of Florista Community College and the peach Ball. We win

1655
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:32,279
games left and right in the league. We've had a

1656
01:20:32,279 --> 01:20:34,359
couple of times because our coach decid he didn't want

1657
01:20:34,359 --> 01:20:36,279
to recruit anymore. We got a recruiter in there. We

1658
01:20:36,319 --> 01:20:39,039
got our five star quarterback. But being with thirty first, Yeah,

1659
01:20:39,039 --> 01:20:41,680
like I said, it's pathetic. Athletic had use sixty eighth

1660
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,359
out of sixty eighth in program valuations for Power four

1661
01:20:44,359 --> 01:20:47,560
team that's just one person championships. I mean it's sad.

1662
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:50,000
So I really, I really don't want to keep bringing

1663
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,119
this up. So I'm really gonna try to stay away.

1664
01:20:52,399 --> 01:20:54,880
You keep bringing it up, making ton of this sad

1665
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:58,439
history of the half empty stadium. So I'm gonna try

1666
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:00,560
to stay away. You're not gonna do sorry. People like

1667
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:04,079
people know you don't go to cook fans. Your feelings

1668
01:21:04,119 --> 01:21:07,760
would be hurt badly, but you keep bringing it up.

1669
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:09,439
This is the thing. I don't bring up them being

1670
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,560
thirty first in some rits. I say thirty first because

1671
01:21:13,039 --> 01:21:16,920
because the America is finally respecting the cougar foot, it's gospel.

1672
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:18,359
I didn't say it was gospel. I said it's a

1673
01:21:18,399 --> 01:21:20,479
good thing. But people are realizing how good things are

1674
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:22,560
going to be this year. The News at Noon is

1675
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:26,640
coming up after the Astros unfortunately brought us down last night.

1676
01:21:27,239 --> 01:21:30,279
Speaker 4: Details on that next year. On seven ninety is The

1677
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:32,119
Mac Thomas Show with.

1678
01:21:32,359 --> 01:21:43,359
Speaker 12: Ross Astros and Mariners now tied for first atop the

1679
01:21:43,399 --> 01:21:44,479
American League West.

1680
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 3: That's because the Mariners beat the Orioles one nothing. I mean,

1681
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:59,560
come on, one nothing, Come on, you can't score more.

1682
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,159
So the great about late Bob, you Christ and you

1683
01:22:03,159 --> 01:22:06,479
can't get more than one GD hit. I don't even

1684
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,239
know how many hits the Oriols had, doesn't really matter,

1685
01:22:08,319 --> 01:22:12,680
but they didn't score any runs. Get kind of an

1686
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:16,720
uneasy feeling about this race. Wait a minute, Oh no, no, no,

1687
01:22:17,199 --> 01:22:20,039
I'm mister excited. I want these thing's gonna be fun,

1688
01:22:21,039 --> 01:22:25,119
and I'm having zero fun. I'm just talking about the

1689
01:22:25,159 --> 01:22:32,119
outcome of the race. You having fun? Okay, I'm glad

1690
01:22:32,119 --> 01:22:33,880
you're even fun. I'm not having a blast at all.

1691
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,199
I'm worried to hell that Hoyora alvareizing will be back

1692
01:22:37,199 --> 01:22:40,520
for a long time. Why I'm worried because he's in

1693
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:44,279
Florida Complex League swinging a bat. He's feeling good. I

1694
01:22:44,279 --> 01:22:46,159
could be in a Florida Complex League swinging a bat,

1695
01:22:46,199 --> 01:22:49,760
feeling good. Okay, Well, you don't have a career ops

1696
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:50,840
plus of one sixty eight.

1697
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 4: Well I'm trying.

1698
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 3: George Kirby seven to three, seven innings of three hit ball. Yeah,

1699
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:02,039
they got a lot of good pictures.

1700
01:23:02,359 --> 01:23:05,399
Speaker 4: Josh Naylor, the RBA, Josh Naylor is.

1701
01:23:05,359 --> 01:23:07,039
Speaker 3: The one doing all the damage for the diet, for

1702
01:23:07,079 --> 01:23:12,840
the uh Mariner's offense. It ain't you Heineo Hailina Sarez,

1703
01:23:13,279 --> 01:23:19,960
he a Flotteth. Oh yeah, he's in ninety eight tos

1704
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:23,880
one for oh for three yesterday they only scored one run, Matt.

1705
01:23:24,039 --> 01:23:28,960
They got great pitching, Heeneo Suarez. It's batting, oh ninety

1706
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,840
eight is coming to the American League and they won like

1707
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:35,079
twenty three in a row. Well, cal Rally has got

1708
01:23:35,119 --> 01:23:36,840
like seven hundred home runs.

1709
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:38,600
Speaker 4: Let's get to the news at noon.

1710
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 3: Okay, I had a Jordon's career ops plus. Wrong, it's

1711
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:47,079
one sixty two. That's fine. Eight. I'm sorry, all right, Matt, Yes,

1712
01:23:47,159 --> 01:23:51,800
so those are do the Astros get walloped by the

1713
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,760
Boston Red Sox yesterday fourteen to one.

1714
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:57,039
Speaker 4: I'll give you some bright spots.

1715
01:23:57,079 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 3: Jeremy Pina had three hits, his averages up to three eighteen.

1716
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:02,600
He continues to play well for the Strows. Jan r.

1717
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:06,239
Diaz had a couple of hits as well. Team one

1718
01:24:06,319 --> 01:24:08,880
for seven with runners in scoring position. That wasn't positive.

1719
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,920
But I'll tell you, I'm gonna leave one spot off

1720
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:15,680
of Spencer Arrighetty. Start tell you was good five innings, pitch,

1721
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:22,479
just one hit, just two runs, three strikeouts and no

1722
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:28,600
home runs, and he had a good time. He said

1723
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,920
his fuck, he had many fundsies were had, hair was flowing,

1724
01:24:32,119 --> 01:24:34,600
hair was flowing. He enjoyed himself and remind him of

1725
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:36,319
his days when he was no hitting the Main Creek

1726
01:24:36,399 --> 01:24:38,239
rams and he issued five walks.

1727
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:43,520
Speaker 4: Five walks.

1728
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 3: I mean, look, the Astros are gonna win this game

1729
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,720
again today. They're gonna keep first place, and we've can

1730
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:52,159
we have some sort of seance for the Baltimore Orioles.

1731
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,199
What do you mean, like get a Ouiji board out

1732
01:24:54,279 --> 01:24:56,359
or something. No, they just sucked. Just go out there

1733
01:24:56,359 --> 01:24:58,840
and beat them. Hey seven with the merit with the

1734
01:24:59,000 --> 01:24:59,760
uh Orioles.

1735
01:24:59,760 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 8: Come.

1736
01:25:00,319 --> 01:25:02,119
Speaker 3: I know we keep talking about and talking about, but

1737
01:25:02,159 --> 01:25:04,439
you gotta go out there and win the games.

1738
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,039
Speaker 4: They do not play them on paper.

1739
01:25:06,279 --> 01:25:12,680
Speaker 3: Met the Astros going for another rubber match, my rubber game,

1740
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:18,520
Hunter Brown on the mound, Howie Fanz Walker Buehler minus

1741
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,520
one fifty five for you Houston Astros. That feels great.

1742
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:27,880
I feel like it should be higher. Astros win five

1743
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:28,199
to two.

1744
01:25:29,399 --> 01:25:33,359
Speaker 4: You were here first, five to two, six oh nine,

1745
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:34,039
first pitch.

1746
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:39,640
Speaker 3: Yes. Elsewhere in the news, Matt Shardoor Sanders sitting out

1747
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:43,600
practice with an oblique injury. Cleveland Browns have had injuries

1748
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,439
to a number of their quarterbacks. We talked about Joe Flacco,

1749
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,640
can you Pickett, Dylan Gabriel. Then they had Tyler Huntley,

1750
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,840
I believe had they had to sign. So they got

1751
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,319
a whole big pack a mid over there in Cleveland,

1752
01:25:55,359 --> 01:25:59,720
and it comes to quarterbacks. But unfortunately Shadoor Sanders sidelined

1753
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:03,359
with an oblique injury and it's been held out of

1754
01:26:03,399 --> 01:26:05,560
joint practices which they are being held right now with

1755
01:26:06,319 --> 01:26:10,079
the Philadelphia Eagles. How many Cleveland brown Victors will be

1756
01:26:10,159 --> 01:26:12,680
in twenty twenty five six?

1757
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 4: Well, you're you're optimistic on them alone.

1758
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:20,119
Speaker 3: I was thinking more than three four? Right up? I

1759
01:26:20,159 --> 01:26:21,760
have no idea what's going on in the schedule?

1760
01:26:22,399 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 2: All right?

1761
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:26,520
Speaker 3: Matt tom Dundon, the owner of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes,

1762
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,239
has agreed to bly the Portland trail Blazers from the

1763
01:26:29,319 --> 01:26:33,880
estate of Paul g Allen at evaluation of have you

1764
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,079
seen no, I'm not kind of man. I guess okay,

1765
01:26:36,239 --> 01:26:42,239
Now we mentioned just for a mintalometer rockets were evaluated.

1766
01:26:42,279 --> 01:26:47,560
I believe it's six billion Portland trail Blazers. What's my

1767
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:49,720
range going into this one? Seven?

1768
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:50,079
Speaker 4: Billion.

1769
01:26:50,359 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 3: No stop, just guess four point six billion. Four just

1770
01:26:56,079 --> 01:26:58,600
more than four billion is the valuage. So I don't

1771
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:00,439
know how much you're in the right ball park, Thank you.

1772
01:27:01,359 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 1: Uh.

1773
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:05,560
Speaker 3: Dundon intends to keep the team in Portland. Sources have

1774
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:08,800
confirms to eat SPN. They're going for a new arena.

1775
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:15,159
Don't kid yourself for the Portland Trail Blazers. They were

1776
01:27:15,319 --> 01:27:17,359
put up for sale in May. Did not take that

1777
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:19,800
long for them to get sold a little bit different

1778
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,000
than what happened there in Minneapolis. Although we are probably

1779
01:27:22,039 --> 01:27:23,840
gonna see you know we're seeing in the NBA. And

1780
01:27:24,119 --> 01:27:27,760
because I've seen it in Phoenix, I've saw Toronto last year.

1781
01:27:28,119 --> 01:27:30,479
The Rockets have been going through this. We're seeing renovations.

1782
01:27:31,159 --> 01:27:34,079
I don't know if what the reason for it is

1783
01:27:34,079 --> 01:27:38,039
is that it feels like NBA arenas are being more

1784
01:27:38,039 --> 01:27:42,520
renovated than they are being torn down and created in

1785
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:46,359
new facilities. So Toronto's, like I said, Toronto's got one going.

1786
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:51,439
Phoenix Sano Santurna's getting a new arena back downtown. So

1787
01:27:52,119 --> 01:27:55,079
but yeah, anytime a new arena you hear about, Oh,

1788
01:27:55,199 --> 01:27:57,960
we intend on staying in Portland. Just give me a

1789
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,439
new arena matter. Are you familiar with the name it

1790
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:06,439
David Booth? Is he second cousins of John Wilkes. No,

1791
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:12,000
he is an American businessman, investor and philanthropists.

1792
01:28:12,079 --> 01:28:14,319
Speaker 4: Okay, he has given.

1793
01:28:16,039 --> 01:28:22,119
Speaker 3: A massive gift to the University of Kansas, unprecedented. I'm

1794
01:28:22,119 --> 01:28:25,479
not even going to ask you a guest. Three hundred

1795
01:28:26,079 --> 01:28:31,880
million dollar gift to the University of Kansas, believed to

1796
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:33,880
be among the largest single gifts in the history of

1797
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:38,399
college athletics and the largest in school history. Seventy five

1798
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:40,319
million of it will go to launching the second phase

1799
01:28:40,319 --> 01:28:43,560
of the transformation of the David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium,

1800
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:49,359
imagine that, and construction of the surrounding district. They are

1801
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:53,039
going to put an emphasis on football upgrades through the

1802
01:28:53,199 --> 01:28:57,840
University of Kansas with this three hundred million dollar gift

1803
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:02,439
that will also establish auditional revue stream for other can

1804
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:10,119
Kansas athletics? Well, what I would have said to this man,

1805
01:29:10,279 --> 01:29:12,159
David Booth, is where the hell were you ten years

1806
01:29:12,199 --> 01:29:16,039
ago when the SEC was looking to expand, Because my

1807
01:29:16,119 --> 01:29:18,520
guess is Kansas is very better than not in the

1808
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:20,039
SEC Missouri.

1809
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:21,840
Speaker 4: Because Kansas Surrey.

1810
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:23,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, MISSOO was ok it was a different time

1811
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:27,439
and place these days, ten years ago. One more thing, note,

1812
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:28,760
I know, I know you don't have any because you

1813
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:33,159
don't prepare this for March. According to a woman who

1814
01:29:33,239 --> 01:29:37,960
writes for front off of Sports, Annie Costabile, she says

1815
01:29:38,079 --> 01:29:41,439
that Houston is the still preferred landing spot for the

1816
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,159
team known as the Connecticut son of the WNBA. Oh

1817
01:29:44,199 --> 01:29:47,159
really that the Sun are being sold. There could be

1818
01:29:47,199 --> 01:29:49,560
a move to Boston, or there could be if Tillman

1819
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:53,600
Fritino wants to purchase it, move the Sun to Houston, Texas.

1820
01:29:56,399 --> 01:29:59,960
So if you're looking for WNBA, it might be now

1821
01:30:00,119 --> 01:30:02,199
around the corner, but it could be a possibility. Let's

1822
01:30:02,199 --> 01:30:04,960
get you on the beat. I mean, look, I've done

1823
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:05,119
to the.

1824
01:30:05,319 --> 01:30:08,760
Speaker 4: NBA games before they won. I like home basketball games.

1825
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 3: I mean I do it. They asked me to for

1826
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:14,840
the right price. That wouldn't be much. I mean, I

1827
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,239
just like home games. Okay, I missed, I missed. Now

1828
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:19,039
they don't travel, so I'd stay at home the whole time.

1829
01:30:19,039 --> 01:30:25,479
You see me all summer? Dang, all right?

1830
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:28,880
Speaker 4: Actually like you better in studio? Well I played, I paid.

1946
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:52,800
Speaker 1: Better about the overall state of the team, but it

1947
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:56,000
might help everyone in the audience feel a little bit,

1948
01:35:56,199 --> 01:35:59,239
you know, better, ease their nerves on the day to

1949
01:35:59,319 --> 01:36:02,039
day stressing the standings with the banners. I don't want

1950
01:36:02,039 --> 01:36:04,720
them to win the division and give them that satisfaction

1951
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:08,079
just as much as any other fan does. However, unless

1952
01:36:08,239 --> 01:36:13,520
we end up catching Detroit or Toronto, we are regardless

1953
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:15,279
of whether we win the division or end up as

1954
01:36:15,279 --> 01:36:17,239
a wildcard team going to have to play in that

1955
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:20,760
fluky little wildcard thing, and you know, with Hunter and

1956
01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:24,560
Frommer presumably going game one in game two, it doesn't

1957
01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:26,960
you know, whether we play that at home or on

1958
01:36:27,079 --> 01:36:28,960
the road. You know, we're gonna have to just let

1959
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:32,039
the chips fall where they may with that. So overall,

1960
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:35,600
unless we catch Detroit to Toronto in terms of accomplishing

1961
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:39,000
our overall you know, goals for the season, trying to

1962
01:36:39,079 --> 01:36:41,960
win win the World Series, it really doesn't change much

1963
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,640
about where we are, whether we win the division or not.

1964
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:46,800
As well as we make the dance, does that help

1965
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:47,279
at all?

1966
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:48,119
Speaker 3: Really?

1967
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:52,600
Speaker 4: But it didn't help at all because the reality is this.

1968
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:53,640
Here's here's the other thing.

1969
01:36:54,159 --> 01:36:57,800
Speaker 3: If they find they drive the wild card, you're gonna

1970
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:00,000
have to burn your two best pitchers to keep the series.

1971
01:37:00,039 --> 01:37:01,880
He's alive, which means you're gonna start from your back

1972
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,359
into your rotation. So yeah, but they're not a number.

1973
01:37:04,359 --> 01:37:06,359
They're not a top two seed right now, right No,

1974
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:08,840
but they're burn them anyway.

1975
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: They win the division, they're the third seed. They're gonna

1976
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:12,000
be playing in that no matter what.

1977
01:37:12,359 --> 01:37:14,159
Speaker 3: Well, we got three with the Tigers coming up, so

1978
01:37:14,199 --> 01:37:15,960
you can beat the Tigers and get in that spot again.

1979
01:37:16,119 --> 01:37:16,960
Beat the Tigers.

1980
01:37:18,119 --> 01:37:19,640
Speaker 1: That's right, Detroit, That's right.

1981
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 3: It's in Detroit. Stop is fine. Tark schools gonna skip

1982
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:27,199
the rotation because he's tired, needs rest. Okay, I wouldn't

1983
01:37:27,239 --> 01:37:29,520
mind that. I wouldn't mind that either, Scott. You might

1984
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:31,720
take your effort was a ten, but the execution was

1985
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:32,880
about a three and a half. No, I thought the

1986
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:35,199
execution was good. You just see it's not being a worrier, Matt.

1987
01:37:35,239 --> 01:37:37,560
It's all good. He go, Scott, I worried thanks to

1988
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:39,159
the phone Atros.

1989
01:37:39,239 --> 01:37:40,119
Speaker 4: Let's go now.

1990
01:37:40,399 --> 01:37:44,600
Speaker 3: I still have faith, but I'm scared. You're scared. Scared?

1991
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:46,079
Speaker 6: Uh?

1992
01:37:47,399 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 4: Do you want our friends at fangrass playoff odds?

1993
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:51,319
Speaker 3: Please?

1994
01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:52,560
Speaker 8: Oh?

1995
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:54,960
Speaker 3: I thought you're gonna give me more than a one

1996
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:58,359
word answer. Give me a second, I'll talk to go ahead, please.

1997
01:38:00,399 --> 01:38:02,720
The favorites to win the division and their eyes are

1998
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:05,720
Mariners for sure, fifty six point nine percent for the

1999
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:09,359
Mariners forty two percent, they say for the Astros. Interesting okay,

2000
01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:12,600
but the Astros to make the playoffs eighty nine point

2001
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:15,039
nine percent. Looking good, looking good. I'm happy with us,

2002
01:38:15,239 --> 01:38:18,680
And these odds change daily. You win three out of four,

2003
01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:21,079
Mariners lose three out of four. You're looking good. How

2004
01:38:21,119 --> 01:38:22,800
are the Yankees to make the playoffs? By the way,

2005
01:38:23,079 --> 01:38:26,119
the Yankees to make the playoffs are at seventy one

2006
01:38:26,319 --> 01:38:28,880
I'm sorry, eighty five point seven, so they're even though

2007
01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:30,920
they've been playing some very poor baseball, they still are

2008
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:34,079
considered a heavy favorite to make it. Yes, okay, let's

2009
01:38:34,079 --> 01:38:36,319
talk to Stephen Huffman on seven Aunting you at twelve

2010
01:38:36,359 --> 01:38:40,119
twenty eight. Hello, Steve, Hey, how are you guys doing?

2011
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:41,600
Speaker 5: Uh?

2012
01:38:42,039 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 6: I just yeah, I go away to Chicago for two

2013
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,640
days and come back and hater is not not with

2014
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:51,880
us for a while because he's hurt. Yes, sir, Okay,

2015
01:38:52,199 --> 01:38:55,560
all right, Well, I went to bed last night and late.

2016
01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:58,119
Speaker 1: I won't tell you about the escapade I had out

2017
01:38:58,159 --> 01:38:58,640
of lower air.

2018
01:38:59,199 --> 01:39:06,000
Speaker 6: But anyway, here's here's my crazy, crazy recommendation, and I'm

2019
01:39:06,039 --> 01:39:07,800
going to give you my realistic one to file.

2020
01:39:08,119 --> 01:39:11,159
Speaker 5: So why do I get the feeling?

2021
01:39:11,239 --> 01:39:14,039
Speaker 6: I was watching the Hall of Fame induction speech by

2022
01:39:14,119 --> 01:39:17,800
Billy Wagner and I know he's what sixty now, maybe

2023
01:39:18,079 --> 01:39:24,439
sixty five, and this YO was telling him at the

2024
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:27,319
end of his career when he was said he's going

2025
01:39:27,399 --> 01:39:30,960
to retire. He was still throwing the ball triple digits,

2026
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:34,760
and Bid said, do you really think about you want

2027
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:37,640
to do this? And well he did. Well, here's my

2028
01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:42,159
crazy here's my crazy suggestion. It's certain way we could

2029
01:39:42,199 --> 01:39:45,239
talk him into closing games for a while. You know,

2030
01:39:45,319 --> 01:39:47,439
I got the feeling this guy could still bring it

2031
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:50,920
the nineties even at his age. I think he takes

2032
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,680
great care of himself. He wouldn't take much to get

2033
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:54,199
in shape.

2034
01:39:54,279 --> 01:39:54,399
Speaker 5: Now.

2035
01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:56,880
Speaker 6: I know it's a long shot in so many different fronts,

2036
01:39:57,359 --> 01:40:02,439
but it's something maybe to think about long term. Now, realistically,

2037
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:07,079
he's fifty four, by the way, Okay, well even better?

2038
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:08,359
Speaker 5: What's what?

2039
01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:11,920
Speaker 6: What about Presley? I know he's lost a lot, the

2040
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:14,920
Cubs get rid of him, but do you think he

2041
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:18,359
could be of help to this team in the short term?

2042
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 3: Presley, I'm sure the tires have been kicked obviously a

2043
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:29,840
situation that other teams have had the interest or like

2044
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:32,720
thereof that's why he's still available. Do I think he's

2045
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:33,880
going to figure out a way to be on a

2046
01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:35,319
major league team before the end of the year. I

2047
01:40:35,399 --> 01:40:37,079
believe the interest. Yes, Let's go back to your an

2048
01:40:37,159 --> 01:40:43,960
original point, Steve. The only way that Billy Wagner.

2049
01:40:45,119 --> 01:40:46,119
Speaker 2: I know, I.

2050
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:49,560
Speaker 3: Stay with me, Stay with me, stay with me here,

2051
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:52,239
just stay with me. Step the only way. What do

2052
01:40:52,239 --> 01:40:53,800
you do for a living, Steve mask.

2053
01:40:55,359 --> 01:40:58,479
Speaker 6: Well, I'm a project coordinator for a Fortune one company.

2054
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:03,239
Speaker 3: Congratulations that for the only way that Billy Weiner comes

2055
01:41:03,319 --> 01:41:05,159
back and pitches for the Astros is if you go

2056
01:41:05,319 --> 01:41:08,279
and drag to your office for seven consecutive days.

2057
01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:12,640
Speaker 8: He yeah, all right.

2058
01:41:12,920 --> 01:41:15,920
Speaker 6: Well, like I said, I knew it was a long shot.

2059
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:18,920
We were writing a book now that's realistic, you know,

2060
01:41:19,199 --> 01:41:21,840
a Grisham type novel. But you know, I know we're

2061
01:41:21,880 --> 01:41:24,000
in the real world right now. And by the way,

2062
01:41:24,319 --> 01:41:27,199
you know, putting all this aside, everybody's talking about you know,

2063
01:41:27,319 --> 01:41:30,039
the Mariners are going to win it now Chant probably.

2064
01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:33,079
But you know the thing about the Mariners, when was

2065
01:41:33,119 --> 01:41:33,960
the last time.

2066
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:37,119
Speaker 3: They were in the World Series zero nothing not.

2067
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:40,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, they won one and ten, one hundred and twenty

2068
01:41:40,199 --> 01:41:43,560
games in two thousand, I can't remember, and they and

2069
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:46,439
they spit it up at that time. And by the way,

2070
01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:49,479
gets to the Mariners have to play the next two series.

2071
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:53,239
I think their reality will come come down, crashing hard

2072
01:41:53,279 --> 01:41:56,119
on them when they go to a city field and

2073
01:41:56,319 --> 01:41:58,880
they go to Citizens Bank Park. There you go. I

2074
01:41:58,920 --> 01:42:01,359
think we're going to see different outcome.

2075
01:42:01,319 --> 01:42:05,520
Speaker 3: Much better. Your call rallied. He knows, no, he didn't

2076
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:08,239
rally rallied. The two thousand ones Mariners have nothing to

2077
01:42:08,279 --> 01:42:11,720
do with this. Twenty twenty five teams has zero.

2078
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:14,199
Speaker 4: Were god awful. Billy Wagner taken, he rallied.

2079
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:17,359
Speaker 3: George Kirby doesn't care what each ero is doing in

2080
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:19,439
two thousand and one. It has nothing to do with

2081
01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:23,119
this year. It does nothing zero, correct, But at least

2082
01:42:23,159 --> 01:42:24,960
it wasn't as bad as the Billy Wagner is going

2083
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,119
to come back and try, so honestly, that's going on.

2084
01:42:27,239 --> 01:42:29,720
I'm putting on the mount rushmore right now. That that

2085
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,720
part of the call of the entire thing that's up

2086
01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:39,760
there with uh, Michael, Michael Branley, Michael is better than Mike.

2087
01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:40,119
Speaker 1: Try.

2088
01:42:40,279 --> 01:42:42,319
Speaker 3: Is one of the worst takes you will ever hear

2089
01:42:42,399 --> 01:42:45,319
in the history of anything. And that wasn't a caller.

2090
01:42:45,399 --> 01:42:47,560
That was somebody co hosting, So that makes it worse. Well,

2091
01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:51,520
that was four hundred times worse. Car on the Moon

2092
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:55,880
was also somebody in ozy. I'm putting it right there

2093
01:42:56,960 --> 01:43:03,560
fifty four year old back after this, after we have

2094
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:06,760
a long quick shot of something twelve thirty three on

2095
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:07,720
seven ninety.

2096
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:15,920
Speaker 4: Seven, we just finished off a bottle of boons.

2097
01:43:17,039 --> 01:43:21,239
Speaker 3: Feeling get it? Steve, I love you like a weird

2098
01:43:21,319 --> 01:43:24,199
uncle that I stay away from at the family reunion.

2099
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:27,920
Speaker 4: Hey, Steve was the call on uh Menoral Moments and

2100
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:28,800
the tenth Inning Show?

2101
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 3: Right, I think?

2102
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:30,039
Speaker 8: So?

2103
01:43:30,159 --> 01:43:32,840
Speaker 4: Do we have in the system still from Monday? Was

2104
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:33,840
that from this Monday?

2105
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:34,199
Speaker 11: Yeah?

2106
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:36,680
Speaker 3: Why does it feel like that was ages ago? Because

2107
01:43:36,680 --> 01:43:39,319
it was Dan hosting the show over the weekend. Okay,

2108
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:43,439
great Moments and tenth Inning Show. I don't know. Let's

2109
01:43:43,479 --> 01:43:46,560
ask our friend John. Then you have it, so man,

2110
01:43:46,600 --> 01:43:48,840
I can pull it up. Let me get a call

2111
01:43:48,920 --> 01:43:51,239
in here, and let's look for it. Because I said,

2112
01:43:51,279 --> 01:43:54,279
fifty four year old Billy Wagner is getting loose. He's

2113
01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:58,479
ready to come back, folks, I mean that's not a

2114
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:01,239
long shot. That is a literally everybody the world has

2115
01:44:01,279 --> 01:44:03,680
to be stricken with a zombie apocalypse and they need

2116
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:06,199
to sign somebody, and then Billy Wagner is one of

2117
01:44:06,239 --> 01:44:08,079
the last people left on earth, and then he would

2118
01:44:08,119 --> 01:44:14,159
sign back with the Astros. Hmmm, that's quite a bit

2119
01:44:14,199 --> 01:44:17,880
what you just said there here it is here, is here,

2120
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:19,479
it is here, it is I'm gonnafford it to you

2121
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:21,520
right now, Jonathan. Okay, play right off the screen here.

2122
01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:23,359
Let's get a phone call and then we'll play it here. Yes,

2128
01:44:38,279 --> 01:44:41,079
Speaker 7: Okay, So I'm gonna make a real stupid bat today.

2129
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:46,319
I'm gonna take JJ spawn to win New FedEx Cup.

2130
01:44:46,199 --> 01:44:47,039
Speaker 3: Of two weeks.

2131
01:44:48,279 --> 01:44:49,720
Speaker 9: Over Cheff or any of them.

2132
01:44:50,319 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 3: Wow, well give me that bet.

2133
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:55,600
Speaker 4: You get the field, I got the field. I'll take

2134
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:56,760

Speaker 1: Sure, okay, you got you got the feel.

2136
01:45:00,039 --> 01:45:03,199
Speaker 7: Wins it. So yeah, I should get odds on that,

2137
01:45:03,279 --> 01:45:07,479
but I'll let yeah tell you. Uh So, I'm looking

2138
01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:11,319
at some stats and it looks like Mickey Mantle has

2139
01:45:11,359 --> 01:45:15,920
the most home runs in the World Series lifetime. But

2140
01:45:16,199 --> 01:45:19,640
he also has that's thirteen, I think, and that's also

2141
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:21,880
his playoff record, which would make hi much two hundred

2142
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:25,039
and forty seven because he didn't have they didn't play playoffs.

2143
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:27,319
Speaker 3: Right, correct, just the World Series?

2144
01:45:27,399 --> 01:45:30,199
Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, I mean you had to win the pennant

2145
01:45:30,239 --> 01:45:33,560
back then he didn't have correct wild cards, right.

2146
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So so okay, I got you there, and uh,

2147
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:38,279
that's that's it.

2148
01:45:38,399 --> 01:45:39,880

01:46:14,239 --> 01:46:16,039
and I inherit to you. That's right, Thanks for bringing

2168
01:46:16,079 --> 01:46:17,600
that up. Appreciate it one great.

2169
01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 4: Okay.

2170
01:46:20,039 --> 01:46:22,840
Speaker 3: So that so Stephen Huffman called the last segment. Yes,

2171
01:46:23,079 --> 01:46:25,560
I believe this is also Stephen Huffman on the Great Moment.

2172
01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:28,119
Some from the over the weekend. Let's see the voices match.

2173
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:31,039
He would jump back into the conversation on the phones

2174
01:46:31,039 --> 01:46:33,520
out to Huffman, seems with us here on the Astros

2175
01:46:33,560 --> 01:46:35,800
tenth Inning show. Wex here with you. What's going on, Steve?

2176
01:46:37,239 --> 01:46:37,479
Speaker 8: Well?

2177
01:46:38,159 --> 01:46:41,239
Speaker 6: I like Joe. Okay, he's a nice guy. He's a

2178
01:46:41,319 --> 01:46:44,359
good coach. He's not a manager. And I'll tell you

2179
01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:48,960
I'm saying this. First of all, Penya had a day

2180
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:53,279
off tomorrow. We needed him to play today. We need

2181
01:46:53,399 --> 01:46:57,359
to win this game. Seattle's playing a junior high team tonight.

2182
01:46:57,520 --> 01:47:00,439
They're likely going to beat and then game a game,

2183
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:04,159
and now it's gonna be two games. Really, that was

2184
01:47:04,399 --> 01:47:07,960
It was really a poor decision on Joe's part. You know,

2185
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:10,640
if there wasn't a day off tomorrow, maybe I could

2186
01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:11,600
see his reasoning.

2187
01:47:12,159 --> 01:47:14,560
Speaker 4: But we need him in the lineup.

2188
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:17,399
Speaker 6: You know, particularly when this we got what forty nine

2189
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:20,680
forty eight games left. Every one of these games are important,

2190
01:47:21,319 --> 01:47:23,960
and Joe treats it like it's spring training at the church.

2191
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:25,279
Speaker 9: You know, I.

2192
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:27,920
Speaker 6: Don't know what's going on.

2193
01:47:30,079 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 3: I'm actually gonna go and say, all right, thank you.

2194
01:47:34,279 --> 01:47:37,239
He just called Stephen Huppen just called that called on

2195
01:47:37,399 --> 01:47:41,159
on the weekend, Tuck to wax. What about what spring training.

2196
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:41,560
Speaker 4: Game as a church?

2197
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:41,800
Speaker 5: When?

2198
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:41,880
Speaker 11: Did?

2199
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:43,640
Speaker 4: When are the spring training games play the churches?

2200
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:47,520
Speaker 3: Are the Astros playing a spring training game at First Baptist?

2201
01:47:49,399 --> 01:47:51,960
Speaker 4: Oh, come on, Steve guy, I appreciate all of you.

2202
01:47:53,039 --> 01:47:54,159
Speaker 3: We love all of you.

2203

01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:43,840
he had two lung surgeries and two lymph node surgeries.

2271
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:46,960

three major cities in my life. Uh, and two of

2279
01:52:06,760 --> 01:52:08,720
the three have been just phenomenal. What comes to I

2280
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:10,720
lived near close to the Mayo Clinic in minnip It

2281
01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:12,239
was in Rochester, which is about an hour and a

2282
01:52:12,239 --> 01:52:15,199
half from Minneapolis. A lot of people travel around the world,

2283
01:52:15,199 --> 01:52:16,560
and now people come all over the world to come

2284
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:19,359

Eighty two years old. Good for his life, good for

2286
01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:26,800
his well being. But man, he still can't manage a

2287
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:32,560
football team. Yeah, no, sarcastic comments from some of you

2288
01:52:32,680 --> 01:52:33,439
Cowboys fans.

2289
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:34,039
Speaker 2: None.

2290
01:52:35,359 --> 01:52:37,840
Speaker 3: Now, what y'all want to say is don't say it.

2291
01:52:39,119 --> 01:52:41,560
Exephgarian Spring calls and I probably would say it. Oh

2292
01:52:41,840 --> 01:52:45,000
uh seven one three two one two five seven ninety

2293
01:52:45,079 --> 01:52:47,800
seven one three two one two five seven ninety James

2294
01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:49,439
is whether it's at twelve fifty three? James? What do

2295
01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:49,680
you have?

2296
01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 9: Yeah? Last night during the broadcast, it showed my Or

2297
01:52:54,079 --> 01:52:55,560
was working out and he looks like he's ready to

2298
01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:59,680
come back, and then they showed uh Roads, I think

2299
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:02,800
it's Or the second basement. He said he is about

2300
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:06,640
ready Rogers Rogers, Yeah, I mean Rogers. Did we even

2301
01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:08,560
need Rogers? I mean, is he going to be a

2302
01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:10,239
guy that we want to bring back to the team.

2303
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:12,359
Is your opinion?

2304
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:15,039
Speaker 11: No?

2305
01:53:15,319 --> 01:53:21,079
Speaker 3: I think he's Yeah. First of all, can't hit, and

2306
01:53:21,199 --> 01:53:24,800
his glove wasn't as good as advertised. Frankly, it wasn't bad.

2307
01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:27,600
But there's there's no need for him. I would imagine

2308
01:53:27,640 --> 01:53:28,840
he's not going to be on the twenty there's not

2309
01:53:28,920 --> 01:53:30,319
room for him on the twenty six man. And I

2310
01:53:30,359 --> 01:53:32,039
didn't see the video of Myers, but I thought the

2311
01:53:32,079 --> 01:53:33,600
last time I had heard anything about Myers he was

2312
01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:38,680
in Florida. Yes, he Yeah, last I heard he was

2313
01:53:38,920 --> 01:53:39,239
in FI.

2314
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:39,680
Speaker 8: Yeah.

2315
01:53:39,720 --> 01:53:41,199
Speaker 3: I don't think we're I don't think we're going to

2316
01:53:41,239 --> 01:53:43,159
see him the next handful of days. I mean, look,

2317
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:45,800
as long as there's a minor league season, these guys

2318
01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:47,199
need a couple of games to get back in the

2319
01:53:47,560 --> 01:53:48,119
swing of things.

2320
01:53:48,159 --> 01:53:48,479
Speaker 9: Literally.

2321
01:53:50,039 --> 01:53:54,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's traveling to the Florida Complex League to continue rehab.

2322
01:53:54,199 --> 01:53:58,199
That's the last update we got on Monday. Those Florida

2323
01:53:58,279 --> 01:54:01,159
Complex League like they're they're dinners at night. I gotta

2324
01:54:01,159 --> 01:54:04,000
be great. Yeah, you're doing with that big money. Myer's

2325
01:54:04,079 --> 01:54:06,840
doing okay for himself. I mean, mccullars has been down

2326
01:54:06,880 --> 01:54:10,399
there a bunch. It's basically it's been a there's been

2327
01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:13,520
a straight taxi to the Florida Complex League all year long.

2328
01:54:13,720 --> 01:54:16,000
It's almost like a retreat. We had it for a

2329
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:17,159
few days. I don't get some R and R. Are

2330
01:54:17,199 --> 01:54:19,000
you going, I'm going to the Florida Complex League. Okay,

2331
01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:22,880
that's what they're doing, and that's where you learn go

2332
01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:25,359
to find your swing too. Like Hose Brady, I wonder why,

2333
01:54:25,720 --> 01:54:30,159
and I'm sure it's logistically just a reason that you

2334
01:54:30,199 --> 01:54:33,560
wouldn't build something here, do the same exact thing in Houston,

2335
01:54:33,600 --> 01:54:35,560
Texas and keep the guys here in town.

2336
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:36,319
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?

2337
01:54:38,359 --> 01:54:41,039
Speaker 3: Maybe because you you have more, they have to pay

2338
01:54:41,039 --> 01:54:43,720
annual rent on that facility, so you might as well

2339
01:54:43,800 --> 01:54:46,840
use it. I don't know. And they have I mean,

2340
01:54:46,880 --> 01:54:49,600
they have a bunch of baseball all that baseball equipment

2341
01:54:49,640 --> 01:54:51,399
and track man and all that type of stuff all

2342
01:54:51,479 --> 01:54:53,600
set up over there. They're not and the Astros, I

2343
01:54:53,640 --> 01:54:54,800
mean they're not the only ones that would be a

2344
01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:56,800
lot of a lot of teams have these complexes where

2345
01:54:56,800 --> 01:54:59,000
they have their spring training to use them for all year.

2346
01:54:59,039 --> 01:55:01,760
Und just I'll just cure why any team would say,

2347
01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:03,239
you know what, run down to West Palm for a

2348
01:55:03,279 --> 01:55:05,199
few weeks. Because also there's other teams they can play

2349
01:55:05,199 --> 01:55:06,920
against over there, right, Like that's true, That is right,

2350
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:07,319
that's right.

2351
01:55:07,359 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 4: So you've got opponents you can play.

2352
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:11,520
Speaker 3: You've got all your your equipment and all your trackmen

2353
01:55:11,640 --> 01:55:14,039
and all your training staff and coaches and all that

2354
01:55:14,119 --> 01:55:17,520
type of stuff over there. So it's a quick flight.

2355
01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it beats the alternative meagums into Peka is

2356
01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:24,279
the Matt Thomas Show with ross.

2357
01:55:27,359 --> 01:55:34,319
Speaker 3: Not that Vegas means much. It just means something. The

2358
01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:37,439
new odds are out for who's going to win the

2359
01:55:37,479 --> 01:55:40,520
American League. The Seattle Mariners are now the favorites at

2360
01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:42,560
plus three fifty, which is three and a half to one.

2361
01:55:43,239 --> 01:55:45,960
They're the favorites. The Toronto Blue Jays are plus three

2362
01:55:46,039 --> 01:55:48,880
seventy five, which is again, for every hundred you win spend,

2363
01:55:48,920 --> 01:55:52,560
you get three seventy five back. Detroit is plus four hundred,

2364
01:55:52,600 --> 01:56:00,159
the Astros at plus four seventy five, so four four

2365
01:56:00,640 --> 01:56:04,119
point seventy five to one, almost five to one, meaning

2366
01:56:04,159 --> 01:56:05,960
can they win? The word to win the pennant is

2367
01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:08,000
a pennant, right, This is American League penit that's correct?

2368
01:56:09,800 --> 01:56:11,560
One out of six years? Can they win it all?

2369
01:56:16,359 --> 01:56:16,560
Speaker 1: See?

2370
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:17,960
Speaker 4: I don't even think of it that I think of

2371
01:56:18,039 --> 01:56:18,359
it as.

2372
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:20,119
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know how I think of it as.

2373
01:56:20,199 --> 01:56:22,279
I think as somebody's got to be the team that

2374
01:56:22,359 --> 01:56:24,159
you think has got a better chance than others. That's

2375
01:56:24,199 --> 01:56:24,640
how I think of it.

2376
01:56:24,760 --> 01:56:25,000
Speaker 8: I don't.

2377
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:27,199
Speaker 4: I don't usually think of it as it's their turn out.

2378
01:56:27,239 --> 01:56:29,800
Speaker 3: If it's four to one means winning four out of one,

2379
01:56:29,880 --> 01:56:33,560
which means winning one out of five, right, that's twenty percent.

2380
01:56:34,079 --> 01:56:36,479
So if they if we simulate this season from this

2381
01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:39,319
point on five times, can they win it all once?

2382
01:56:40,479 --> 01:56:46,720
If you say yes, then the value is good. I mean,

2383
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:50,319
I don't know if the value, if the value be

2384
01:56:50,359 --> 01:56:52,199
good or bad. If I was in Lake Charles right now,

2385
01:56:52,199 --> 01:56:54,039
I'd probably put fifty dollars on it or something like that.

2386
01:56:54,079 --> 01:56:55,800
I wouldn't put a lot, but i'd put something on it,

2387
01:56:55,840 --> 01:56:57,880
but little fifty spot on it. Yeah, i'd want to mean,

2388
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:00,960
I don't necessarily need value. If I think my team's

2389
01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:03,479
gonna win. I'm still gonna win the money. Yeah, But

2390
01:57:03,520 --> 01:57:09,920
it's about equity and odds. It's all, well, we've got

2391
01:57:11,479 --> 01:57:13,079
is the juice worth the squeeze?

2392
01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:14,079
Speaker 8: Oh?

2393
01:57:14,319 --> 01:57:15,720
Speaker 3: You can put that on a T shirt?

2394
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:16,000
Speaker 6: Yeah?

2395
01:57:16,119 --> 01:57:18,520
Speaker 3: I think not like that? No, no, no, we're good.

2396
01:57:19,560 --> 01:57:23,399
Why why can't you don't like that phrase? It's also

2397
01:57:23,520 --> 01:57:26,239
it's a double ontongdre because juice means the what they

2398
01:57:26,359 --> 01:57:29,560
charge you for for bets. Oh all right, I was

2399
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:33,119
a hater. No smooth, I like that. We're trying to

2400
01:57:33,159 --> 01:57:35,560
get you to learn things here. They call it the

2401
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:37,880
vigorous or the viig or the juice that you have.

2402
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:40,479
That's basically how the house wins because all of these

2403
01:57:40,479 --> 01:57:44,439
odds in theory are short. The house isn't giving you

2404
01:57:44,560 --> 01:57:47,319
fair odds. Nobody. Yeah, there's no one gonna say there's

2405
01:57:47,359 --> 01:57:49,439
no book in America's going you know, I need to

2406
01:57:49,479 --> 01:57:52,680
give my my people that are potentially betting this fair value.

2407
01:57:53,159 --> 01:57:54,960
If they're giving you four to one, they think the

2408
01:57:55,039 --> 01:57:59,279
odds are worse. Yeah, they're just the only way. That's

2409
01:57:59,439 --> 01:58:01,520
how we gave it out. We don't you know, we

2410
01:58:01,720 --> 01:58:03,399
we you and I credit on odd board. If you

2411
01:58:03,439 --> 01:58:05,760
wanted to, let's do it. But you gotta take bets.

2412
01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:06,520
So that's the thing.

2413
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:08,079
Speaker 4: Though, they put their money where the mouse is.

2414
01:58:08,199 --> 01:58:10,079
Speaker 3: You mouth is you show up and say I think

2415
01:58:10,119 --> 01:58:11,680
this is good value, they say, okay, you think it's

2416
01:58:11,720 --> 01:58:12,520
good value than bet?

2417
01:58:13,159 --> 01:58:15,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, final hour of the show.

2418
01:58:15,239 --> 01:58:17,039
Speaker 3: We've got to the Bogus Sevic interview coming up in

2419
01:58:17,039 --> 01:58:19,239
a few minutes if you missed that real quick. Texans

2420
01:58:19,279 --> 01:58:20,920
are having a kind of like a walk through or

2421
01:58:20,960 --> 01:58:23,239
did have a walk through today at Elvert Energy Stadium.

2422
01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:27,640
They've got a practice tomorrow with the Carolina Panthers. That's

2423
01:58:27,680 --> 01:58:29,920
what they're really getting ready for. So they're gonna go

2424
01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:31,159
beat each other up for a day and a half

2425
01:58:31,239 --> 01:58:34,239
or so and then uh, and then play the Panthers

2426
01:58:34,279 --> 01:58:37,479
in the second preseason game Saturday twelve noon. So there's

2427
01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:40,279
nothing really new coming out of there today, although we

2428
01:58:40,319 --> 01:58:42,680
can cus and discuss if you won't to, we could

2429
01:58:43,079 --> 01:58:45,199
discuss and discuss. Then Uh, yeah, I want to talk

2430
01:58:45,199 --> 01:58:47,640
about Michael Pennis getting in a fight in the Titans practice.

2431
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:52,479
Falcons Titans practice. You know these I don't want my

2432
01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:55,800
quarterback fight. Well, here's the reality. I think these things

2433
01:58:56,079 --> 01:58:59,000
are starting to really start to increase in terms of

2434
01:58:59,079 --> 01:59:01,239
you know, these joint practice and I know who they're doing.

2435
01:59:01,239 --> 01:59:02,760
They're trying to do it because they feel like get

2436
01:59:02,800 --> 01:59:06,279
more accomplished than just a regular exhibition game where you

2437
01:59:06,319 --> 01:59:07,800
don't want to put players out there to get hurt.

2438
01:59:08,039 --> 01:59:08,199
Speaker 6: Huh.

2439
01:59:08,279 --> 01:59:09,800
Speaker 4: But it feels like to me, we're getting more and

2440
01:59:09,880 --> 01:59:11,000
more fights at these things.

2441
01:59:11,600 --> 01:59:12,159
Speaker 9: That is it?

2442
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:15,199
Speaker 3: Because I feel like there's always been fights, But I

2443
01:59:15,319 --> 01:59:18,239
think the heat and the I'm sick and tired of

2444
01:59:18,279 --> 01:59:21,079
training camp comes into play and I get to face

2445
01:59:21,119 --> 01:59:23,079
somebody else, not need my own teammate. Yeah, so I'm

2446
01:59:23,079 --> 01:59:25,000
gonna go scrape with somebody else. That's why there's always

2447
01:59:25,039 --> 01:59:28,119
been fights to me in these joint practices. I mean,

2448
01:59:28,199 --> 01:59:30,359
I feel like every year you watch hard knocks and

2449
01:59:30,479 --> 01:59:33,000
every year there's joint practices, and every year there's fights.

2450
01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:35,680
Speaker 4: That's why again, Roger Goodell, what are you doing?

2451
01:59:35,720 --> 01:59:37,760
Speaker 3: You should open these joint practices up to the to

2452
01:59:37,880 --> 01:59:39,840
the fans, charge ten dollars, put them in the stadium

2453
01:59:39,840 --> 01:59:41,239
and call to day. I think they should let them

2454
01:59:41,279 --> 01:59:44,800
fight fifty yard line, make a little circle like hockey.

2455
01:59:45,199 --> 01:59:49,680
First one down, you're out, you have no players left. Well,

2456
01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:53,520
then they would stop fighting, wouldn't they. M I don't know.

2457
01:59:53,640 --> 01:59:58,039
You emotions work differently, that's true. Well them fight you

2458
01:59:58,119 --> 02:00:00,800
could actually we did it to three minute pause so

2459
02:00:00,880 --> 02:00:03,319
we can make odds. We need live odds in the fight.

2460
02:00:04,039 --> 02:00:04,279
Speaker 9: Is that what?

2461
02:00:04,399 --> 02:00:04,760
Speaker 3: Wet?

2462
02:00:05,039 --> 02:00:05,199
Speaker 9: Yeah?

2463
02:00:05,279 --> 02:00:08,920
Speaker 3: Okay, make me get down a little parley. I'm taking

2464
02:00:08,960 --> 02:00:12,960
I'm taking Daniel Hunter by knockout. Who's the most feared texting?

2465
02:00:13,039 --> 02:00:13,159
Speaker 7: Is he?

2466
02:00:13,359 --> 02:00:13,479
Speaker 3: Is he?

2467
02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:17,039
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2468
02:00:17,279 --> 02:00:19,479
Speaker 3: Or Will Anderson? But I think Daniel Hunter's a little

2469
02:00:19,479 --> 02:00:25,079
bigger right Uh to me, I'm not getting in a

2470
02:00:25,159 --> 02:00:27,960
fight with Will Anderson. He's so pleasant. But that's that's

2471
02:00:28,119 --> 02:00:30,079
Those are the sneaky ones. Okay, I'm trying not to

2472
02:00:30,079 --> 02:00:33,960
make a Joe Mixon joke. By the way, if Joe

2473
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:35,760
Mixon doesn't play in Week one, I want to be

2474
02:00:35,840 --> 02:00:38,880
officially known as a Texans insider. Why because I got

2475
02:00:38,920 --> 02:00:40,920
it right. It was a gut feeling. Put your name

2476
02:00:40,960 --> 02:00:43,800
on it. I'll put my name on it. Oh yeah, baby,

2477
02:00:45,399 --> 02:00:46,560
don't shake your head, Jonathan.

2478
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:49,399
Speaker 4: You know I'm right. I'm writing this down right. You

2479
02:00:49,439 --> 02:00:50,439
got pare of pressions it is.

2480
02:00:50,720 --> 02:00:53,760
Speaker 3: I got him all the time. Yeah, he does all

2481
02:00:53,840 --> 02:00:56,840
the time. That's what It's gonna taste. That juice is

2482
02:00:56,920 --> 02:00:59,880
gonna be squeezed even sweeter when I'm right. I'm not

2483
02:01:00,079 --> 02:01:02,520
saying you're gonna be wrong, But you go to me

2484
02:01:02,560 --> 02:01:05,600
into saying something, it's gonna really backfire if I'm wrong

2485
02:01:05,600 --> 02:01:14,039
about it. Take your time, Joe. No season was lost

2486
02:01:14,079 --> 02:01:17,720
after a Week one. Yeah, I would say play it slow.

2487
02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:19,840
I would sa wait till the one hundred percent healthy. Absolute.

2488
02:01:19,880 --> 02:01:21,640
It's a long season, and he is one of the

2489
02:01:21,680 --> 02:01:24,560
back of your not only your offense, but your team.

2490
02:01:24,600 --> 02:01:26,640
Speaker 4: I got news for you. How the hell they're gonna

2491
02:01:26,640 --> 02:01:27,600
carry five running backs?

2492
02:01:28,439 --> 02:01:32,079
Speaker 3: They can't. They're not going to. So if all five

2493
02:01:32,159 --> 02:01:37,279
of the following are healthy, what he marks he's safe,

2494
02:01:37,680 --> 02:01:46,600
a Goomble, pretty safe, Pierce Chubb Mixing, Who's who out?

2495
02:01:47,840 --> 02:01:49,760
I would say either Chub or Mixing. I mean I'm

2496
02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:56,800
a chubbed sorry Chubb or Pierce, But that's why Mixing'

2497
02:01:57,199 --> 02:01:58,920
if he if he's not even close to one hundred

2498
02:01:58,920 --> 02:02:01,000
percent Rossie, he's got to open up the air on

2499
02:02:01,039 --> 02:02:01,560
the injury list.

2500
02:02:04,119 --> 02:02:07,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

2501
02:02:07,960 --> 02:02:10,640
Speaker 3: This is a sneaky little storyline that I think. I

2502
02:02:10,680 --> 02:02:12,600
don't know if it's gotten much attention, if at all.

2503
02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:14,760
That would if I was a Texans found I'd be

2504
02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:17,760
concerned about because again, part of the reason to keep

2505
02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:20,039
your quarterback up right is not him dropping back five

2506
02:02:20,039 --> 02:02:22,479
to seven steps and having to worry about his future.

2507
02:02:23,279 --> 02:02:24,520
You don't have to worry about your future when you

2508
02:02:24,560 --> 02:02:26,159
have a good ground gaming you can hand the ball off. Dude,

2509
02:02:26,199 --> 02:02:29,399
somebody twenty twenty five times again, Miko, Ryan's wholeheartedly agrees

2510
02:02:29,439 --> 02:02:32,039
with you. But do you think about that? And that's

2511
02:02:32,119 --> 02:02:35,880
five That's a lot of running backs and a lot

2512
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:38,439
of uncertain that. Goomble has just been a fringe NFL

2513
02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:41,399
for down back. I mean, typical thirty does a good job.

2514
02:02:41,560 --> 02:02:43,600
I don't think you're dropping a mid round, You're just

2515
02:02:43,800 --> 02:02:45,920
drafted him. I mean you could, it wouldn't be unprecedented.

2516
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:49,880
What was it, fifth or fourth round? Mid round, fourth

2517
02:02:49,960 --> 02:02:51,319
round or so. I don't think you would do that.

2518
02:02:51,439 --> 02:02:54,520
I think he's going to be fine. Mixon obviously is

2519
02:02:54,720 --> 02:02:57,600
very very much going to be okay unless they ir him,

2520
02:02:59,279 --> 02:03:00,439
and then you would be very right.

2521
02:03:01,439 --> 02:03:03,359
Speaker 4: That's what I want to be called the inside saying

2522
02:03:03,399 --> 02:03:03,840
you're crazy.

2523
02:03:03,920 --> 02:03:05,039
Speaker 3: I'm not saying you're crazy.

2524
02:03:05,319 --> 02:03:06,439
Speaker 4: I'm just throwing it out there.

2525
02:03:06,479 --> 02:03:10,479
Speaker 3: Okay. If I'm wrong, you call me the outsider. Okay,

2526
02:03:11,600 --> 02:03:13,720
if you call if I'm right, you call me the inside,

2527
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:16,000
which means I get more stories right than the average

2528
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:16,960
insider in this town does.

2529
02:03:17,199 --> 02:03:18,319
Speaker 8: Okay, all right.

2530
02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:22,520
Speaker 3: Brian bogus Evic on the astros and what he has

2531
02:03:22,600 --> 02:03:24,479
saw last night and what he looks to see the

2532
02:03:24,560 --> 02:03:25,079
rest of the way.

2533
02:03:25,119 --> 02:03:26,920
Speaker 4: We'll talk with him next one to twelve on Sports

2534
02:03:26,960 --> 02:03:27,560
Talk seven.

2535
02:03:27,439 --> 02:03:32,600
Speaker 3: Ninety one, seventeen on Sports Talk seven ninety uh Sophia

2536
02:03:32,680 --> 02:03:34,720
Santos is the woman's name, right, Rossie that I was

2537
02:03:34,760 --> 02:03:37,800
looking at on Aena Sierra, Sanna Sierra. It doesn't really matter.

2538
02:03:39,159 --> 02:03:42,399
Another fine great member of the MLB Network. On air

2539
02:03:42,520 --> 02:03:47,000
Talent crew emphasis on fine Brian Bogus evics a fine

2540
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:50,720
analysis for you, sitting network for baseball analysis, of course,

2541
02:03:51,800 --> 02:03:53,520
and we visit with us every Wednesday here on the

2542
02:03:53,600 --> 02:03:55,159
radio program. By the way, Caleb Or's going to join

2543
02:03:55,239 --> 02:03:57,479
us in about fifteen minutes here on Sports Talk seven eighty.

2544
02:03:57,520 --> 02:04:00,600
But right now here is so what Brian Ross and

2545
02:04:00,680 --> 02:04:04,119
I talked about when it came to Spencer Arraghetty in

2546
02:04:04,319 --> 02:04:07,239
recapping his second start last night for the Astros and

2547
02:04:07,279 --> 02:04:09,119
that big loss unfortunately with the Red Sox.

2548
02:04:09,600 --> 02:04:13,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say, looking at yesterday and the first start,

2549
02:04:13,800 --> 02:04:17,079
even down in Miami, it's a little bit disappointing that

2550
02:04:17,159 --> 02:04:19,880
he's not sharper. You know, there was command issues that

2551
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:23,439
kind of ran through both of those starts. From a

2552
02:04:23,600 --> 02:04:27,760
stuff standpoint, though, it's pretty encouraging. I mean, the fastball velocity,

2553
02:04:27,840 --> 02:04:30,680
the life on the fastball, those are both good. The

2554
02:04:30,760 --> 02:04:32,840
shape of the breaking ball, the spin of the breaking ball,

2555
02:04:33,159 --> 02:04:36,520
that all looks good. So there is reason to be optimistic.

2556
02:04:36,640 --> 02:04:36,760
Speaker 11: You know.

2557
02:04:36,880 --> 02:04:40,000
Speaker 8: The first start he got a ton of swings and misses. Yesterday,

2558
02:04:40,119 --> 02:04:43,279
even being constantly behind an account, constantly having to deal

2559
02:04:43,319 --> 02:04:45,920
with runners on base, he was still able to win

2560
02:04:46,119 --> 02:04:48,840
in the strike zone when he was in the strike zone,

2561
02:04:49,439 --> 02:04:51,319
So there is a lot to light there. He's just

2562
02:04:51,359 --> 02:04:53,920
got to get better command, get all those pitches working.

2563
02:04:54,279 --> 02:04:56,640
You know, his repertoire as a whole versus all of

2564
02:04:56,680 --> 02:04:59,439
his pitches is kind of being, you know, one individual

2565
02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:02,880
pitch after another. So yet not as sharp as maybe

2566
02:05:03,600 --> 02:05:05,640
we had hoped from a guy who's not coming off

2567
02:05:05,680 --> 02:05:07,840
of an arm injury. But he looks a lot like

2568
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:10,880
he did early on in the season last year. He

2569
02:05:11,039 --> 02:05:13,279
made a lot of adjustments and was much better late.

2570
02:05:13,479 --> 02:05:16,079
Hopefully those same adjustments can happen on a much quicker

2571
02:05:16,199 --> 02:05:17,239
timeline this year.

2572
02:05:18,520 --> 02:05:22,880
Speaker 3: Do you think he's thinking about, Man, I really want

2573
02:05:22,920 --> 02:05:24,800
to get back in the groove of these things of

2574
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:27,239
pitching every fifth day. I missed so much time. Oh,

2575
02:05:27,319 --> 02:05:30,000
by the way, my squad needs me because I've got

2576
02:05:30,079 --> 02:05:33,159
injuries in my bullpen. Now I've got uncertainty of my

2577
02:05:33,239 --> 02:05:37,560
starting rotation. I've got Hobber just coming back for personally,

2578
02:05:37,680 --> 02:05:41,079
for Spencer, he didn't go through Tommy John. He didn't

2579
02:05:41,119 --> 02:05:43,760
go through the stuff that makes you miss twelve fourteen,

2580
02:05:43,800 --> 02:05:44,920
sixteen months, two years.

2581
02:05:45,239 --> 02:05:46,960
Speaker 4: What's going through his mind? Do you think for him?

2582
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:48,079
Over the next handful of weeks.

2583
02:05:49,119 --> 02:05:51,960
Speaker 8: Well, you know, he's been around the team all year,

2584
02:05:52,239 --> 02:05:54,359
you know. Besides, you know when he at the end

2585
02:05:54,359 --> 02:05:55,760
of the rehead when he goes down to Florida to

2586
02:05:55,800 --> 02:05:58,680
get stretched out, so he knows everything that's been going on.

2587
02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:00,880
He knows the injuries that have racked up. He knows

2588
02:06:00,920 --> 02:06:03,439
that this team has been kind of piecing it together

2589
02:06:03,560 --> 02:06:04,720
waiting for everybody.

2590
02:06:04,399 --> 02:06:04,840
Speaker 1: To get back.

2591
02:06:04,920 --> 02:06:08,079
Speaker 8: So he understands the deal and the optimism of getting

2592
02:06:08,159 --> 02:06:10,359
these guys back, and maybe there's a little bit of pressure.

2593
02:06:10,359 --> 02:06:13,279
I think. You know, what we have to remember with

2594
02:06:13,439 --> 02:06:16,159
Spencer is that this is only the second year, and

2595
02:06:16,279 --> 02:06:18,880
he didn't even get a full season last year at that,

2596
02:06:19,079 --> 02:06:21,600
so he's still very early in the learning process. This

2597
02:06:21,800 --> 02:06:25,119
was still going to be a big development year for

2598
02:06:25,239 --> 02:06:29,079
Spencer Araghetti, regardless of getting injured or not. So the

2599
02:06:29,239 --> 02:06:32,079
idea that he's just going to come off of a

2600
02:06:32,199 --> 02:06:34,760
long layoff and just immediately go in there and just be,

2601
02:06:35,159 --> 02:06:39,520
you know, essentially the savior of a rotation, that's pretty unrealistic,

2602
02:06:39,600 --> 02:06:41,279
you know, for us to expect from him, from him,

2603
02:06:41,319 --> 02:06:44,199
to expect from himself. I think just looking at it

2604
02:06:44,239 --> 02:06:46,520
through the lens of what he did last year, and

2605
02:06:47,079 --> 02:06:50,760
learning things in a given start and applying them into

2606
02:06:50,800 --> 02:06:53,600
the next start. If we can see that growth start overstart,

2607
02:06:54,119 --> 02:06:56,199
I think by the end of the year, or maybe

2608
02:06:56,239 --> 02:06:59,079
even after four or five starts, I think it'll be

2609
02:06:59,119 --> 02:07:01,000
the guy that we were hoping to see coming out.

2610
02:07:00,880 --> 02:07:01,319
Speaker 1: Of the shoots.

2611
02:07:01,319 --> 02:07:05,600
Speaker 3: Here, Bogie. This Astro's clubhouse, whatever version has been over

2612
02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:07,880
the last seven or eight years, has been cool and calm,

2613
02:07:08,039 --> 02:07:10,840
never so down when things are down, never so up

2614
02:07:10,880 --> 02:07:13,600
when they're on a hot streak. They've seen a ten

2615
02:07:13,720 --> 02:07:17,319
game deficit raced. Now in twenty twenty five, they've seen

2616
02:07:17,359 --> 02:07:21,560
a seven game lead or race. It's hard to measure

2617
02:07:21,600 --> 02:07:23,560
what that brahmin of that clubhouse is because it's so

2618
02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:26,560
many new guys. But take us through what you think.

2619
02:07:27,079 --> 02:07:30,000
The general culture is still without two a in there,

2620
02:07:30,520 --> 02:07:32,439
still with a lot of veteran leaders, but yet at

2621
02:07:32,439 --> 02:07:34,880
the same time, knowing that the injury buck continues to

2622
02:07:34,960 --> 02:07:37,000
hamper this team. And oh, by the way, the team

2623
02:07:37,039 --> 02:07:39,119
behind him. The Seattle Mariners haven't lost since I think

2624
02:07:39,159 --> 02:07:39,760
the first of the year.

2625
02:07:41,039 --> 02:07:43,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you know, just the circumstances of the

2626
02:07:43,920 --> 02:07:46,960
season have changed, right, Everything is fluid throughout the course

2627
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:49,680
of the season. Sometimes you're the team getting healthy, sometimes

2628
02:07:49,720 --> 02:07:52,560
you're the team getting hurt. Sometimes you're chasing, sometimes you're

2629
02:07:52,640 --> 02:07:56,319
being chased. And you know, it sounds so cliche that

2630
02:07:56,880 --> 02:07:58,560
the one game at a time type of thing, but

2631
02:07:58,960 --> 02:08:01,399
you can't get through one hundred and sixty two games

2632
02:08:01,520 --> 02:08:04,680
thinking about a big picture constantly, and you can't get through,

2633
02:08:05,119 --> 02:08:07,199
you know, a decade of seasons like a guy like

2634
02:08:07,239 --> 02:08:09,079
jose L two. They are some of these veterans by

2635
02:08:09,479 --> 02:08:14,199
constantly being big picture oriented because it's overwhelming. So if

2636
02:08:14,239 --> 02:08:17,520
you're going to have a mindset when you know you're

2637
02:08:17,640 --> 02:08:19,560
chasing somebody in the standings of hey, we just got

2638
02:08:19,640 --> 02:08:21,039
to go out there, win a game, win a series,

2639
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:24,119
you're going to apply that same thing when it's the

2640
02:08:24,199 --> 02:08:26,199
other way around and you're the team that was out

2641
02:08:26,199 --> 02:08:28,079
in the league that has now been chased down because

2642
02:08:28,199 --> 02:08:30,479
there's really nothing else you can do can do. You

2643
02:08:30,560 --> 02:08:32,439
can go out there and you can worry about what's

2644
02:08:32,479 --> 02:08:34,479
it going to look like the next you know, forty

2645
02:08:34,600 --> 02:08:37,359
plus games, who are we playing in the upcoming week,

2646
02:08:37,399 --> 02:08:39,600
who are the Mariners playing? None of that matters, And

2647
02:08:39,880 --> 02:08:42,399
to get to the success level that these guys have

2648
02:08:42,520 --> 02:08:46,000
gotten to, they know how to compartmentalize those things. They

2649
02:08:46,079 --> 02:08:48,640
know how to stay focused on the day to day

2650
02:08:48,640 --> 02:08:51,119
stuff because that's the stuff that really matters. So when

2651
02:08:51,159 --> 02:08:54,079
it's going good or going bad, it really is the

2652
02:08:54,159 --> 02:08:56,520
same mindset regardless. Yeah.

2653
02:08:56,600 --> 02:08:59,319
Speaker 3: That so we have fans and media of course are

2654
02:08:59,359 --> 02:09:01,239
hanging more on every pitch and every game and the

2655
02:09:01,319 --> 02:09:03,920
results of that. But you don't think that's necessarily bleeding

2656
02:09:04,039 --> 02:09:07,399
into the batter's boxer in the field, No way.

2657
02:09:07,640 --> 02:09:10,720
Speaker 8: I mean, it's the same thing whether whether you're you're

2658
02:09:11,199 --> 02:09:13,199
you know, got a twenty game hitting streak or you're

2659
02:09:13,199 --> 02:09:16,000
in a long slump. You're going there, you're getting your

2660
02:09:16,039 --> 02:09:18,560
work in, you're game planning, you're going through scouting reports,

2661
02:09:18,600 --> 02:09:20,920
you're doing it's all about the preparation, and then you

2662
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:22,880
go out there and just play. And once you're out

2663
02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:25,680
there and just playing, what happened yesterday of the last

2664
02:09:25,720 --> 02:09:27,399
ten days or what's going to happen, you know, ten

2665
02:09:27,479 --> 02:09:30,239
days from now, it really doesn't matter, And it can't

2666
02:09:30,319 --> 02:09:32,279
matter because you know, you've got enough to worry about

2667
02:09:32,279 --> 02:09:33,920
when you're standing out there in the batterspox.

2668
02:09:34,159 --> 02:09:37,600
Speaker 3: Brian Bogasvik whether us here on Sports Talk seven ninety

2669
02:09:37,920 --> 02:09:39,960
why has Carlos Curray been so good at the plate

2670
02:09:40,199 --> 02:09:41,439
back in a Nastros uniform.

2671
02:09:43,680 --> 02:09:46,880
Speaker 8: You know, when you hear Carlos talk about hitting, he's

2672
02:09:47,199 --> 02:09:51,960
very rarely talking about mechanics, and he's always talking about approach, approach, approach, approach,

2673
02:09:52,039 --> 02:09:54,239
having an approach for a pitch, for a bat, for

2674
02:09:54,359 --> 02:09:57,039
a game, for a one on one matchup, or even

2675
02:09:57,079 --> 02:09:59,840
the team. And you know, kind of the definition of

2676
02:10:00,039 --> 02:10:03,680
approach in my book is what are you doing to

2677
02:10:03,720 --> 02:10:04,960
tip the scales in your favor?

2678
02:10:05,159 --> 02:10:07,199
Speaker 3: Because the batter.

2679
02:10:07,119 --> 02:10:10,359
Speaker 8: Pitcher matchup, everything favors the pitcher. It's an impossible thing

2680
02:10:10,439 --> 02:10:12,560
to do, you know, hitting a baseball in general, the

2681
02:10:12,600 --> 02:10:15,239
fielders are so good, So how can you go out there?

2682
02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:18,039
You know, take into account what the picture's repertoire is,

2683
02:10:18,079 --> 02:10:21,039
take into account the game situation where the defense is playing,

2684
02:10:21,119 --> 02:10:23,439
what that picture's out pitches. You know, how do you

2685
02:10:23,560 --> 02:10:26,479
factor all of those things in to give yourself a

2686
02:10:26,560 --> 02:10:27,159
better chance.

2687
02:10:27,359 --> 02:10:28,159
Speaker 3: And when you watch.

2688
02:10:28,039 --> 02:10:30,840
Speaker 8: Carlos go out there and early on in the count,

2689
02:10:31,119 --> 02:10:34,159
he's obviously hunting pitches, looking for something that he can drive,

2690
02:10:34,279 --> 02:10:36,920
something that he can do damage on. Later in the count,

2691
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:39,439
he'll try to take away a pitcher's best pitch and

2692
02:10:39,600 --> 02:10:41,840
not give them that put away two strike pitch he'll

2693
02:10:41,920 --> 02:10:44,199
shorten up and a pitch that maybe takes the big

2694
02:10:44,319 --> 02:10:46,760
swing at in a one to zero count, he'll just

2695
02:10:46,840 --> 02:10:49,119
kind of punch to right field in a two strike count.

2696
02:10:49,159 --> 02:10:52,239
So watching him go out there and just execute and

2697
02:10:52,479 --> 02:10:55,520
just really fight tooth and nail on every single pitch,

2698
02:10:56,239 --> 02:10:59,600
you can really appreciate how he gets to the results

2699
02:10:59,640 --> 02:11:01,439
where we look up after, you know whatever, it's been

2700
02:11:01,560 --> 02:11:04,399
ten twelve games and the numbers have been really good,

2701
02:11:04,640 --> 02:11:07,199
and I think that is going to start to bleed

2702
02:11:07,319 --> 02:11:10,199
over into some of the younger players and just the

2703
02:11:10,359 --> 02:11:12,520
team as a whole, and just trying to have those

2704
02:11:12,680 --> 02:11:15,840
really drawn out, knockout, drag out type of that bats

2705
02:11:16,399 --> 02:11:16,760
ball game.

2706
02:11:16,840 --> 02:11:19,359
Speaker 3: We were looking at MLB Network in our studio here

2707
02:11:19,439 --> 02:11:21,520
just a minute ago, and they just went through the

2708
02:11:21,600 --> 02:11:24,399
lineup one through nine for the Mariners. Eight of their

2709
02:11:24,520 --> 02:11:27,159
nine batters have an OPS plus right now of one

2710
02:11:27,239 --> 02:11:31,039
hundred plus. That sadly cannot be said for the local nine,

2711
02:11:31,039 --> 02:11:34,079
although there are numbers that are improving, Christian Walker being

2712
02:11:34,159 --> 02:11:38,119
one of them. How are you going to outslug the

2713
02:11:38,720 --> 02:11:40,880
Seattle Mariners to this fight of the finish in the

2714
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:44,159
very last forty games or so of the season, Well,

2715
02:11:44,399 --> 02:11:45,279
I think we're.

2716
02:11:45,159 --> 02:11:48,399
Speaker 8: Going to see, you know, the last six eight weeks

2717
02:11:48,439 --> 02:11:51,760
of the season. Whatever it is, it's a different version

2718
02:11:51,960 --> 02:11:55,520
of this team. It's different guys in general. When you

2719
02:11:55,560 --> 02:11:58,640
look post trade deadline, it's different versions of a guy

2720
02:11:58,840 --> 02:12:01,920
like Christian Walker who finally looks settled in, you know,

2721
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:05,039
knocked on wood. If Jordin gets back, that changes everything.

2722
02:12:05,159 --> 02:12:06,800
So I don't think you have to look at it

2723
02:12:07,039 --> 02:12:09,159
from a big picture number standpoint. Can they hit with

2724
02:12:09,199 --> 02:12:12,800
the Mariners, Yeah they can, and the the end of

2725
02:12:12,800 --> 02:12:15,319
the year numbers might not show it. But but I

2726
02:12:15,399 --> 02:12:17,319
think this is going to be a lineup and they're

2727
02:12:17,319 --> 02:12:19,720
gonna have to because you know, the injuries are not

2728
02:12:19,920 --> 02:12:21,680
going away. When you look at what's going on with

2729
02:12:21,840 --> 02:12:24,479
Josh Hader, They're going to have to score runs to

2730
02:12:24,600 --> 02:12:27,319
win games. And now you know, there's a lot more

2731
02:12:27,439 --> 02:12:29,000
length in the lineup. There's a lot more guys that

2732
02:12:29,079 --> 02:12:31,760
can can can hurt you in the lineup, and there's

2733
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:34,960
a lot of guys who aren't necessarily feeling the pressure

2734
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:36,880
of being the one or two guys that it's going

2735
02:12:36,960 --> 02:12:39,239
to have to be them on any given day. Otherwise

2736
02:12:39,239 --> 02:12:41,119
there's not going to be anybody.

2737
02:12:40,479 --> 02:12:42,960
Speaker 3: Else to do it if Jordan does not come back.

2738
02:12:43,760 --> 02:12:47,840
Forgetting about the offense, what's the best Astros? I guess

2739
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:50,640
combined defense and offense outfield? Do you see the rest

2740
02:12:50,640 --> 02:12:52,479
of the way for the Houston Astros.

2741
02:12:53,600 --> 02:12:58,880
Speaker 8: In the outfield? I think it's probably you know, we'll, we'll, we'll,

2742
02:12:58,960 --> 02:13:01,079
we'll leave out the fact that of does Jake Myers

2743
02:13:01,119 --> 02:13:03,359
come back or not. Hopefully he does soon, but right

2744
02:13:03,439 --> 02:13:07,720
now it's probably a platoon in center field, Trammel and

2745
02:13:08,000 --> 02:13:09,880
Chaz if he can get it going a little bit,

2746
02:13:09,880 --> 02:13:12,760
which it looks like maybe he's gotten it going just

2747
02:13:12,840 --> 02:13:15,520
a little bit. You know, Cam Smith is your right fielder,

2748
02:13:15,680 --> 02:13:18,760
Jesus Sanchez in left field if you want to try

2749
02:13:18,800 --> 02:13:21,880
to work not I wouldn't say a platoon, but piecing

2750
02:13:21,920 --> 02:13:23,640
together if you want to try to hide Cam from

2751
02:13:23,680 --> 02:13:26,319
a tough rioting and move Sanchez into right field. But

2752
02:13:26,439 --> 02:13:28,680
it's some combination of those two guys in the corner

2753
02:13:28,720 --> 02:13:30,760
and then you know, mixing al twove in there if

2754
02:13:30,840 --> 02:13:31,119
need be.

2755
02:13:33,840 --> 02:13:35,119
Speaker 3: Do you like this real quick?

2756
02:13:35,159 --> 02:13:35,720
Speaker 8: Do you like this?

2757
02:13:36,239 --> 02:13:38,119
Speaker 4: Or I like five game league?

2758
02:13:38,119 --> 02:13:38,279
Speaker 2: Guy?

2759
02:13:38,720 --> 02:13:41,560
Speaker 3: My partner over here to my right loves the anticipation

2760
02:13:41,640 --> 02:13:43,279
of this being playoff time starting right now.

2761
02:13:43,399 --> 02:13:45,520
Speaker 4: Where are you on what we have seen?

2762
02:13:45,720 --> 02:13:47,880
Speaker 3: Because the Mariners don't lose and the Astros are playing

2763
02:13:47,880 --> 02:13:49,399
a little bit under five hundred these days.

2764
02:13:50,479 --> 02:13:53,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, as a fan, I'm excited. I'm excited for a

2765
02:13:53,159 --> 02:13:55,800
lot of meaningful baseball. I'm excited for a lot of

2766
02:13:55,960 --> 02:13:59,840
you know, high energy games coming down the stretch. As

2767
02:14:00,439 --> 02:14:02,800
as a player and as a guy, you know, watching

2768
02:14:02,840 --> 02:14:05,479
a team that he knows wants to make a deep

2769
02:14:05,520 --> 02:14:07,640
playoff run, it would be really nice to have the

2770
02:14:07,760 --> 02:14:10,399
last week or so of the season be sign field

2771
02:14:10,439 --> 02:14:12,720
and delivered and you start to kind of line things

2772
02:14:12,800 --> 02:14:15,800
up for the for the postseason. But no, as a fan,

2773
02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:17,800
you know there there's nothing better than.

2774
02:14:20,640 --> 02:14:22,880
Speaker 3: Nothing better than what did he say, finish it off?

2775
02:14:23,079 --> 02:14:26,600
Play a match game, nothing better than a pennant race,

2776
02:14:26,640 --> 02:14:29,840
I think, and you know what it is. Honestly, we're

2777
02:14:29,880 --> 02:14:33,479
in the playoffs. The playoffs have started today. Can a

2778
02:14:33,600 --> 02:14:35,840
team go a month and a half of playoffs? Because

2779
02:14:35,840 --> 02:14:37,479
that's what the Astros and a Mariners are about to

2780
02:14:37,560 --> 02:14:40,279
do here with the last forty or so games left

2781
02:14:40,319 --> 02:14:42,439
to go. Caleb Ward's gonna be a huge part of that.

2782
02:14:42,520 --> 02:14:45,039
I believe we'll hear from him next. As a Matt

2783
02:14:45,079 --> 02:14:47,319
Thomas show, Ross continues in a moment seven to one

2784
02:14:47,399 --> 02:14:49,479

02:14:49,479 --> 02:15:01,600

two hits, Yes, no runs, Let's go seven strikeouts. That's

2807
02:16:09,279 --> 02:16:14,079
what I'm talking about. No era, none zero, no earned runs,

2808
02:16:14,800 --> 02:16:17,119
Caleb Ort, you are not allowed to give up another

2809
02:16:17,199 --> 02:16:18,920
earn run the rest of the season. Can you handle

2810
02:16:19,000 --> 02:16:20,000
such responsibility?

2811
02:16:21,319 --> 02:16:24,239
Speaker 1: I mean I would love that, So I'm in Seriously.

2812
02:16:23,920 --> 02:16:27,600
Speaker 3: We need you, dude. This city needs championships. It's on

2813
02:16:27,800 --> 02:16:30,960
your shoulder. You cannot. First of all, you cannot get hurt.

2814
02:16:30,960 --> 02:16:32,399
You're the only one I hadn't got hurt lately.

2815
02:16:32,680 --> 02:16:35,200
Speaker 4: Number two, we need a zero er, can you You've

2816
02:16:35,239 --> 02:16:37,319

2817
02:16:38,639 --> 02:16:41,239
Speaker 1: Hey, that's that's the plan. I think that's that's all

2818
02:16:41,239 --> 02:16:43,840
of our plan. You know, go out there and all

2819
02:16:43,879 --> 02:16:45,680
of us just keep doing our job, and I think

2820
02:16:45,680 --> 02:16:46,760
it's gonna work out just far.

2821
02:16:47,040 --> 02:16:48,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, Caleb, it's Matt Ross.

2822
02:16:48,680 --> 02:16:50,040
Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us for a few minutes on

2823
02:16:50,079 --> 02:16:50,719
the show today.

2824
02:16:51,719 --> 02:16:52,520
Speaker 4: Are you ready for this?

2825
02:16:52,719 --> 02:16:54,799
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I know that seven game leads are

2826
02:16:54,840 --> 02:16:57,600
wonderful in the American League playoffs and metal of the cases,

2827
02:16:57,639 --> 02:16:59,440
but regressing can certainly happen.

2828
02:16:59,760 --> 02:16:59,799
Speaker 5: It.

2829
02:17:00,000 --> 02:17:01,520
Speaker 3: It feels like to me, we were just talking about

2830
02:17:01,559 --> 02:17:04,680
this before. The playoffs don't officially start till the end

2831
02:17:04,680 --> 02:17:06,719
of September. But it kind of feels like a full

2832
02:17:06,760 --> 02:17:08,920
on Pennant race right now between you and the MS.

2833
02:17:11,239 --> 02:17:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think, yeah, you're not wrong. Everybody

2834
02:17:14,920 --> 02:17:17,520
kind of feels good. I think, you know, it's good

2835
02:17:17,680 --> 02:17:20,479
energy and every day we're showing up and there's no

2836
02:17:20,840 --> 02:17:23,239
letting off the prottle at this point. So yeah, it

2837
02:17:23,319 --> 02:17:26,879
feels like we're already there, so just keep going from here.

2838
02:17:27,920 --> 02:17:30,959
Speaker 3: Obviously, in an organization that has been through these types

2839
02:17:30,959 --> 02:17:32,959
of battles before, and you've been around a couple of years,

2840
02:17:33,239 --> 02:17:35,639
what it's just like, is it business as usual in

2841
02:17:35,719 --> 02:17:38,479
the clubhouse for everybody, or maybe a little bit more

2842
02:17:38,959 --> 02:17:41,840
chatter about the race and some scoreboard watching.

2843
02:17:43,840 --> 02:17:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean maybe a little bit, yeah, But for the

2844
02:17:45,600 --> 02:17:48,719
most part, it's the same old, same old every day.

2845
02:17:48,760 --> 02:17:50,879
You know, we come in, all the guys are this.

2846
02:17:51,360 --> 02:17:53,840
You know, we're tight group here, So it doesn't seem

2847
02:17:53,920 --> 02:17:57,000
like a whole lot changes. Obviously, you know, we're paying

2848
02:17:57,040 --> 02:18:00,239
attention to the paying attention to the race a little more,

2849
02:18:00,360 --> 02:18:03,360
but I don't think it takes away from just us

2850
02:18:03,479 --> 02:18:06,360
being a tight group all day together and you know,

2851
02:18:06,479 --> 02:18:07,920
doing the same thing that we normally do.

2852
02:18:09,639 --> 02:18:12,159
Speaker 3: Visiting with Caleb board here on the radio program. A

2853
02:18:13,159 --> 02:18:16,200
different clubhouse for you after spending your first few seasons

2854
02:18:16,239 --> 02:18:19,040
as of Boston Red Sox. What's the adjustment Liken this

2855
02:18:19,200 --> 02:18:22,840
year two of that new clubhouse significantly easier to kind

2856
02:18:22,879 --> 02:18:25,600
of get acclimated of things and the lifestyle is compared

2857
02:18:25,639 --> 02:18:27,879
to when you're bringing new with a baseball team.

2858
02:18:30,319 --> 02:18:33,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't really a whole lot to adjust at all here.

2859
02:18:34,719 --> 02:18:37,840
I was welcomed with open arms last year, all the

2860
02:18:38,159 --> 02:18:41,399
older Vets that were here last year. I mean there

2861
02:18:41,479 --> 02:18:45,399
was no there's no like wall to climb over to

2862
02:18:45,479 --> 02:18:48,200
get through with anybody that I was welcomed immediately and

2863
02:18:48,840 --> 02:18:51,559
you know, expected to perform right away. It's just who

2864
02:18:51,680 --> 02:18:54,879
this club is and you know, winning team and that's

2865
02:18:54,959 --> 02:18:57,319
what we are. Was chasing the championships here, it seems like,

2866
02:18:57,479 --> 02:19:02,200
so there's no like, yeah, they're just welcomed and expected

2867
02:19:02,239 --> 02:19:04,079
to perform and everybody wants you to do the best.

2868
02:19:04,239 --> 02:19:06,959
So it was pretty easy to come into this clubhouse

2869
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:08,159
and just get along with everybody.

2870
02:19:09,319 --> 02:19:11,079
Speaker 3: What has it been like for you? Of course you

2871
02:19:11,520 --> 02:19:13,680
injured at the start of the season, but also kind

2872
02:19:13,719 --> 02:19:18,120
of just hanging around and seeing everybody kind of go down.

2873
02:19:18,200 --> 02:19:20,000
What is it like for you mentally, like you just

2874
02:19:20,079 --> 02:19:22,799
try to stay tunneled and focused on yourself, or like

2875
02:19:22,920 --> 02:19:25,680
you look around and there's just been so many different

2876
02:19:25,840 --> 02:19:28,959
injuries going around on this team. Does it creep into

2877
02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:31,040
your mind like I need to do better at this

2878
02:19:31,319 --> 02:19:33,159
or that to try and stay healthy or is it

2879
02:19:33,280 --> 02:19:34,680
just something you try to put out of your mind.

2880
02:19:36,360 --> 02:19:38,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I don't. I don't think any of you know,

2881
02:19:38,559 --> 02:19:40,600
anybody that's not hurt right now is thinking about that.

2882
02:19:40,760 --> 02:19:42,840
Like you said, I was. You know, I got hurt

2883
02:19:42,879 --> 02:19:45,600
in the spring pretty dang quick. This is the spring,

2884
02:19:45,719 --> 02:19:47,639
so like, you know, I know what it was like

2885
02:19:47,719 --> 02:19:50,520
to go through that, and you know, just keeping a

2886
02:19:50,639 --> 02:19:53,959
positive attitude mentality about it at all times is obviously

2887
02:19:54,040 --> 02:19:57,079
the best thing to do. But I'm not. I'm not

2888
02:19:57,159 --> 02:19:59,159
sitting here thinking I could do this or do that better.

2889
02:19:59,319 --> 02:19:59,440
Speaker 5: You know.

2890
02:19:59,639 --> 02:20:03,159
Speaker 1: Like what I'm doing is what I'm doing, and I'm

2891
02:20:03,399 --> 02:20:05,120
doing everything I tend to stay healthy. And I think

2892
02:20:05,159 --> 02:20:07,719
everybody in here is they you know, everybody's got their

2893
02:20:07,760 --> 02:20:10,879
routines and arm care and everything that they're going through.

2894
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:14,239
And you know, if somebody goes down, it's it's gonna happen,

2895
02:20:14,280 --> 02:20:16,440
you know, it's a sport. You throw a lot, you

2896
02:20:16,520 --> 02:20:18,799
play a lot, there's a lot of games, and it's

2897
02:20:19,040 --> 02:20:21,159
bound to happen eventually. So if it's gonna happen, it's

2898
02:20:21,159 --> 02:20:23,600
gonna happen. The last thing I'm gonna sit here and

2899
02:20:23,680 --> 02:20:25,840
do is overthink it and you know, try to get

2900
02:20:25,959 --> 02:20:28,200
all stressed and tense about it, like there's no reason

2901
02:20:28,280 --> 02:20:28,440
for that.

2902
02:20:28,680 --> 02:20:31,360
Speaker 3: So no, you can't for sure thirty you'll be in

2903
02:20:31,440 --> 02:20:34,479
your thirty ninth game the next time you pitch. Any

2904
02:20:34,559 --> 02:20:38,479
advice from Feller relievers you've gotten over over the last

2905
02:20:38,520 --> 02:20:40,840
few years about what it's like to get this deep

2906
02:20:40,920 --> 02:20:43,639
into the season, this many appearances, and just to make

2907
02:20:43,760 --> 02:20:46,479
yourself make sure your arm is as physically as great

2908
02:20:46,520 --> 02:20:47,559
as possible at this point.

2909
02:20:49,120 --> 02:20:53,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean guys last year, Guys this year. I

2910
02:20:53,239 --> 02:20:56,680
mean Josh specifically too, Like you know, he's been around,

2911
02:20:56,799 --> 02:20:59,840
he's been in deep runs before. You know, Presley was

2912
02:20:59,879 --> 02:21:01,840
here last year. We talked to him. Guys like that,

2913
02:21:02,520 --> 02:21:06,600
I mean, they're they're always just telling you, basically take

2914
02:21:06,639 --> 02:21:09,280
care of yourself. Like every week, every guy's gold got

2915
02:21:09,319 --> 02:21:11,840
something different to do. Not every guy's going to do

2916
02:21:11,879 --> 02:21:13,680
the same thing, but you just do what you can

2917
02:21:13,760 --> 02:21:17,639
to recover every night, you know, you got twenty four

2918
02:21:17,680 --> 02:21:20,319
hours almost like, do whatever you can to recover and

2919
02:21:20,399 --> 02:21:22,840
get back and tell them back on the workouts if

2920
02:21:22,879 --> 02:21:25,600
you need to, and just be able to pitch the

2921
02:21:25,680 --> 02:21:28,239
next night, because I mean, it's all hands on deck

2922
02:21:28,360 --> 02:21:32,159
right now until whenever we're done, you know, so there's

2923
02:21:32,239 --> 02:21:35,760
no no slowing down, and you back off on unnecessary

2924
02:21:35,840 --> 02:21:38,000
things and keep yourself healthy that leak you can keep pitching,

2925
02:21:38,239 --> 02:21:38,559
all right.

2926
02:21:38,600 --> 02:21:41,360
Speaker 3: Who's the weirdest left handed reliever in the Astros bullpen?

2927
02:21:42,879 --> 02:21:44,799
Speaker 1: All of them? All lees are weird.

2928
02:21:45,200 --> 02:21:48,520
Speaker 3: Because we tease about the fact that sometimes you don't

2929
02:21:48,559 --> 02:21:50,200
have any left is you got like a half dozen

2930
02:21:50,280 --> 02:21:53,000
back there? What makes them a little quirkier than the

2931
02:21:53,040 --> 02:21:56,120
average pitcher that you run into, You.

2932
02:21:56,159 --> 02:21:59,159
Speaker 1: Know, I don't, I don't really know, but around I

2933
02:21:59,280 --> 02:22:01,040
feel like, you know, it's just always been a thing

2934
02:22:01,200 --> 02:22:03,399
left these are a little a little bit weirder. I

2935
02:22:03,440 --> 02:22:06,879
don't know why. I can't explain it. It just seems

2936
02:22:07,000 --> 02:22:09,719
like that's always been a thing, no matter what team,

2937
02:22:09,959 --> 02:22:11,479
wherever it's it's like a league wide thing.

2938
02:22:11,520 --> 02:22:13,959
Speaker 3: I feel like I don't disagree with you. Last thing.

2939
02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:17,079
I'll let you're on give me your best conversation of

2940
02:22:17,120 --> 02:22:20,440
the bullpen fifthening of a game. You're not throwing yet,

2941
02:22:20,600 --> 02:22:22,120
not warming up, just kind of hanging out there. What

2942
02:22:22,399 --> 02:22:25,239
what are topics of discussion of the day per se.

2943
02:22:26,799 --> 02:22:27,000
Speaker 9: Man?

2944
02:22:27,600 --> 02:22:30,879
Speaker 1: I mean it could be anything. I mean you could

2945
02:22:30,879 --> 02:22:35,840
sit there talk about being on a lake, fishing, hanging out,

2946
02:22:36,239 --> 02:22:38,840
just chilling on a pontoon, or you could be talking

2947
02:22:38,879 --> 02:22:42,159
about how much was here in the day before. I mean,

2948
02:22:42,239 --> 02:22:45,959
it goes from onfield off field. Yeah, there's just a

2949
02:22:46,000 --> 02:22:49,639
lot of random conversations. It's definitely not anything specific, that's

2950
02:22:49,639 --> 02:22:49,959
for sure.

2951
02:22:50,120 --> 02:22:52,000
Speaker 3: How about the women on the MLB network? Has it

2952
02:22:52,000 --> 02:22:56,399
ever come up and play what the women on the

2953
02:22:56,520 --> 02:22:58,079
MLB network? Do you ever watch that channel?

2954
02:22:59,280 --> 02:22:59,920
Speaker 1: I do not want?

2955
02:23:00,319 --> 02:23:04,399
Speaker 3: Oh okay, well, smart answer. That's probably a very smart answer, Caleb.

Speaker 6: You know?

2970
02:23:39,879 --> 02:23:41,559
Speaker 3: What are you talking about? I was trying to loosen

2971
02:23:41,600 --> 02:23:43,280
him up a little bit. Okay, that's all I was

2972
02:23:43,319 --> 02:23:47,280
just trying to do, Caleb, it's all about business. Strikeouts, baby,

2973
02:23:47,319 --> 02:23:50,360
I'd rather him be serious as a heart attack. But

2974
02:23:50,440 --> 02:23:57,719
hopefully Gary Spring doesn't get dang bringing up, and if

2975
02:23:57,719 --> 02:23:59,879
he does, hope he gets decent medical care. But if

2976
02:23:59,879 --> 02:24:02,840
you doesn't, it's no you know, this is what it is. Oh,

2977

02:24:08,760 --> 02:24:09,479

2981
02:24:16,159 --> 02:24:19,479
is all things about the Portland Troublazers are being sold for?

2982
02:24:19,600 --> 02:24:19,879
How much?

2983
02:24:19,920 --> 02:24:20,319
Speaker 8: Do we say?

2984
02:24:20,360 --> 02:24:23,479
Speaker 4: Four billion dollars? A little over four billion is what's

2985
02:24:23,479 --> 02:24:24,479
been reported, So who knows?

2986
02:24:24,719 --> 02:24:27,799
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. When you when Paul Allen's

2987
02:24:27,840 --> 02:24:31,559
family gets the check, is it literally a check for

2988
02:24:31,639 --> 02:24:34,559
four billion dollars? Is it literally that amount of cash?

2989
02:24:35,600 --> 02:24:38,360
I mean, who has that just lying around? Nobody has

2990
02:24:38,399 --> 02:24:41,159
it lying around? It's an assets. I imagine they acquire

2991
02:24:41,280 --> 02:24:44,159
a loan and then whoever, like uh, like when somebody

2992
02:24:44,200 --> 02:24:47,079
buys your house, you get it from the mortgage coming.

2993
02:24:47,120 --> 02:24:48,920
But you do get that check. Yeah, pays it off.

2994
02:24:49,040 --> 02:24:53,000
That's that's a good looking check. Like what bank's cutting

2995
02:24:53,000 --> 02:24:56,600
the check for four billy? All of them? I love

2996
02:24:56,639 --> 02:24:58,479
a photo. I'd love a photo of that. Oh, it's

2997
02:24:58,520 --> 02:25:02,719
probably it's a big check. Sure, like you're a publisher's clearinghouse. Exactly.

2998
02:25:02,799 --> 02:25:04,959
Come with They come with a bunch of balloons and stuff.

2999
02:25:05,920 --> 02:25:07,559
Look at how rich you are? You just sold your

3000
02:25:07,600 --> 02:25:11,040
team for four billion dollars. All right, let's play believe

six third in the morning for their first day of

3019
02:26:11,159 --> 02:26:13,399
fourth grade just so you can post it on Facebook.

Let people do their thing. I don't get mad at

02:26:28,079 --> 02:26:31,840
people putting their politics on there or their recipes. I

3023
02:26:32,040 --> 02:26:33,799
just scroll past it, don't I don't go to my

3024
02:26:33,920 --> 02:26:37,879
Facebook and tell you don't do that. Do you like

3025
02:26:37,959 --> 02:26:39,959
seeing pictures of other people's kids going get ready? I

3026
02:26:40,040 --> 02:26:41,520

picture right in front of her car, and we posted it.

3031
02:26:53,760 --> 02:26:55,280
So suckond.

3032
02:26:57,840 --> 02:27:00,520
