<v Speaker 1>Bok, my friend, did you back? It's you too, brother.

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you.

11
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 2>My first vacation about eight years, so it's kind of nice.

12
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>That's great to be well, it's great to be back

13
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 2>with you.

14
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Man. I miss you, guys. Thank you. Yeah, you deserve it.

15
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 3>Man.

16
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Nick, here one thing I like about the Astros. Yeah,

17
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 4>you're right, Sean, you came to close to you had.

18
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 4>But one thing that gave the manage that chant to

19
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 4>do is the sais that we got on this team

20
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 4>and them youngs, them young guns. Hey, you look here,

21
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.120
<v Speaker 4>and you know what the moves he made by making

22
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 4>opinions the lead off. Hitler having the best year so

23
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 4>far of his career. Miles is having the best year

24
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 4>so far of his career. Hey, lord, before you found

25
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 4>a superstar out there coming up. Cam switch solidified right here.

26
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 4>Your third basement is hitting, he's raking, then this, and

27
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 4>then you got your first basement that's beginning to hit.

28
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 4>Now pitching his deep bullpen is showing out. So what

29
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying is that by them having this team together

30
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.560
<v Speaker 4>and the way they playing allows you're done to come

31
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 4>back healthy. So that's why they don't have to rush

32
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 4>them back. And hey, look here the way they're playing

33
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 4>just to be a couple of games out of their division, Hey,

34
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.480
<v Speaker 4>they'll take that in the day. So my question is

35
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 4>gonna hang up is when you're done come back, how

36
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 4>do you think they're gonna work that thing?

37
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Why he won't break up.

38
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 4>The uples, up his youngsters, and who's gonna be the

39
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 4>man out?

40
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>And I hang up in this.

41
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate the call, John, I don't really think there

42
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 3>is an odd man out right now, Sean. Because of

43
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 3>all the things we talked about this morning with the lineup,

44
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 3>you notice who we haven't mentioned, Janar Diez. He's another

45
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 3>guy that's been incredibly inconsistent for this team this year,

46
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 3>so much to the point that Joe has had to

47
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 3>rely on Victor Carrattini, I think a lot more than

48
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 3>he wanted to be able to at this point.

49
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, and brought his name up earlier. The inconsistency.

50
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>You still haven't had him rake like you expected. Hence

51
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Victor Carrattini, who I think is one of the more

52
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 2>unherlded important players to a team in this league, especially

53
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 2>this team. They've needed him leadership, versatility to step in

54
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 2>and he just continues to do it. And the guy's

55
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>been reliable. This isn't the same Yainer that is that

56
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 2>we expect to be an All Star. Correct, it's not

57
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 2>that guy yet, no, so, but we've we've seen flashes

58
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 2>of it last year. Guy can play. Yet well, you

59
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen his consistency, because when you do, the lineup

60
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 2>would be again Painya al Twove, Jordan Walker Parades or

61
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>or whoever is in the four, five, six hole, whoever

62
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>you decide to put in there. Walker Parades, Yiner, Diaz,

63
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Jiner Diaz Walker Parades, those first six and even you know,

64
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>hell the way that the you know that Jake Myers

65
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>has played, so you get seven, I mean you're you're

66
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 2>now looking at a a roster that you say, okay,

67
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>that can Rake as we had ert Alex mentioned earlier

68
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 2>about the way they can play, but think about it again.

69
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Al two Bays had his ups and downs this year,

70
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 2>started off fast and went through a lull. His bats

71
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>started to pick it up. Painia has been pretty damn

72
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 2>good all year long. Diaz up and down, Walker hasn't

73
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>hasn't stayed up. Jordon, I mean as far as his power,

74
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Jordon has been hurt. And even before that there was

75
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 2>obviously bothering because the power wasn't there.

76
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and.

77
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Paradis has been really good. So in truth, you've had

78
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>two players in the first six that have been consistently

79
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>good this year.

80
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Parades and Peana.

81
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 2>The rest of them have had Altovey started hot, but

82
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 2>the rest of them, whether it's injury or performance, they

83
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 2>have not been consistent. And this still, this team is

84
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>still above five hundred and still staring Chlaue, I mean,

85
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>can reach out and grab the division lead. And remember

86
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 2>again Wesnsky, Spencer Arraghetti, uh Renelle Blanco getting mccolors back

87
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 2>after all this, I mean, I'm not saying, you know,

88
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 2>it's not a matter of all this is a great team,

89
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 2>but you've got to consider man if I started taking

90
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>players out of other lineups like this, how many of

91
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 2>them can sustain and survive it? And that goes to

92
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 2>their development of young players and a pitcher stepping up

93
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>and doing their thing. We see all France do it

94
00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>in you know, a year and a half or so ago,

95
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.439
<v Speaker 2>where they needed Renelle Blanco last year.

96
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>There's always somebody. But what's it. What will it be.

97
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Like when Jiner and Walker and Jordan are all in

98
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 2>the lineup and all rolling.

99
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's hope we see it.

100
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's also too I think one bit of good

101
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 3>news with Jiner is watching his at bats this weekend,

102
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 3>which I would say that probably Sean. I watched about

103
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 3>ninety percent of the games this weekend, obviously at Buzzfest

104
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 3>on Saturday, so wasn't able to see the end of

105
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 3>that game, but did notice that he was starting to

106
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 3>lay off that slider that has sent him kind of

107
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 3>with the butt going in the third base dugout and

108
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 3>the bat going through the zone and not usually a

109
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 3>good swing. So if that's starting to be the case,

110
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 3>you hope that he's able to start jumping on the

111
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 3>pitches that are in the zone.

112
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, there's absolutely no question because if he does different ballgame.

113
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>You are one hundred percent correct, And wouldn't it be

114
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 2>nice to have all this going at once, stand for

115
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.360
<v Speaker 2>about thirty games? I mean, you know, it'd be nice

116
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>for a month to say, okay, now make the rest

117
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>of them chase. But yes, they hit the balls you

118
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 2>can reach and are in the zone.

119
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 1>Key. And it's not.

120
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Only for the Ironer Dias and for the Christian Walkers

121
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.439
<v Speaker 2>and anybody else. But when Jordan's back and healthy and

122
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 2>swinging when he's average, he can load you up and

123
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 2>carry you. When he's really good, well, then it's not

124
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.600
<v Speaker 2>even just his his ability at the plate, it's his presence.

125
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Guys like that impact the game even when they're not

126
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>swinging well because the pitcher still wonders, well, is this

127
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 2>the time? So you're still you know, protected, and you're

128
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 2>still pitching. You're still not going to try to You

129
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 2>don't want to be the reason he's out of his

130
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 2>that he gets healthy on you. And I'm not talking

131
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 2>about physically, I'm talking about starts feasting on you or

132
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:48.800
<v Speaker 2>whoever that is.

133
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.959
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to be the guy. Oh here we go.

134
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 2>So the whole key is, yeah, laying out of laying

135
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>off balls out of it, which has been a big

136
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.360
<v Speaker 2>part of paying his success this year in Agnes.

137
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>But for other guys, it's being able to drive the.

138
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Balls that are in the zone that normally a guy

139
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 2>like Jordan hits all he uses foul pol the foul pole.

140
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to find out when he gets back.

141
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.759
<v Speaker 2>The question is when will he the threshold of pain

142
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.839
<v Speaker 2>kick in. And then if Jayinter and Christian Walker can

143
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.560
<v Speaker 2>add the power bat that we think they both have

144
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>and that we've seen it times from both, then it'll

145
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 2>make for a really good change up for this team

146
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.279
<v Speaker 2>because right now you're getting a lot of good production

147
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>from guys you probably didn't expect it to plate well.

148
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean especially too.

149
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 3>That's one of Jordon's calling cards is how good he

150
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.079
<v Speaker 3>is at recognizing pitches that are outside the zone and

151
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 3>being able to square up the ones that are in

152
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 3>the zone, and I mean to the.

153
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Point out of the ballpark the other way.

154
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.399
<v Speaker 2>Dan, it's a pitch it's just off the plate, then

155
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 2>instead of rolling over on it, hits it the other

156
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>way for a home running the Crawford boxes.

157
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 1>That's who he is and when he's.

158
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Seeing it like that, even if he doesn't hit it,

159
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Pitchers are afraid to throw it, so you know, they

160
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 2>get a little they get a little testy and little

161
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>curious that you know. Protection for him is big, but

162
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 2>also it's like anything a great running back, even if

163
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't carry it in a game.

164
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Linebackers are afraid to be the reason why he runs

165
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.319
<v Speaker 1>over them, so they still got to get.

166
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Stout and ready, which helps play action over the top.

167
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Same thing here even when he's not even the threat

168
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.439
<v Speaker 2>of Jordan Alvarez enhances the lineup greatly because the pitcher

169
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 2>is always there's that anxiety of okay, don't let me be.

170
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:30.199
<v Speaker 1>The reason today is the reason.

171
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.360
<v Speaker 2>He busts out of this and then starts a forty

172
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.559
<v Speaker 2>five game where he's like as good as areas in

173
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 2>baseball from which we've seen which we've seen
