1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: This is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross ten oh

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,640
one in h Town. Good morning, and welcome to a

3
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:15,000
Monday edition of The Matt Thomas Show with Ross. It

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,839
is very nice to have you with us. Hope you

00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:19,839
guys had a very end. Ladies had a very RESTful,

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,640
exciting weekend. The Local nine gave us really bizarre games

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,120
over the last four days, which we'll get to on

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,480
the radio show. Both on and off the field. We

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,000
have to. I just I got some breaking news from

10
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:40,799
the SEC commissioner. He wants all teams that from the

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,640
SEC that make the college Baseball Tournament to go automatically

12
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:47,399
on to Omaha. It's interesting. Yeah, that's a good idea.

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,880
Greg Sank says that we are such a powerful conference

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,719
that we automatically should go all the way. Yeah, take

15
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:56,679
up the look factor in the these wacky baseball retails.

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,880
Just put the top scenes in. I actually put on

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,640
ESPN Plus yesterday and watched Texas lose to UTSA and

18
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:07,400
thus the Longhorns are out Vanderbilt. The roadbunners are tough. Yeah,

19
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:10,719
roadtors are tough. The long Horns. Number two overall Sea Gonzo.

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,439
The number one overall Sea was Vanderbilt, and they're also Gonzo.

21
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:16,560
A and m wasn't even in the tournament but kept

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,400
their coach around. So they're Gonzo. They're Gonzo, and I

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,000
don't know who else is in it. Okay, no, it

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,599
doesn't matter, Yeah, it doesn't matter. All right. We are

25
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:25,680
with you today until two o'clock this sa afteroon. Ross.

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,319
Good to have you back after a couple of days.

27
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:29,280
Good to be back, Matt Yep, it's nice to have you.

28
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:33,040
You look great. It's nice to see you. What you tired,

29
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:35,319
I mean, yeah, I'm always tired, all right. I was

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,000
just trying to start the show with a compliment. Well,

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,640
I mean it was usually I started the other way.

32
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: So I know.

33
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:41,599
Speaker 1: It's turning over a new leave. Maybe maybe that time

34
00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:44,480
away helped you reconfigure your life. Yeah, I went on

35
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,519
a darkness retreat like Aaron Rodgers. Yeah no do so.

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,439
You see you were in a small box with no power. Okay, yeah,

37
00:01:51,359 --> 00:01:54,599
h which is Houston every hurricane season. That's true. That's

38
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:55,760
why you can come to the house whenever you want

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,480
to appreciate it gets you the generator from here comes

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,200
the plugs Man Calday Home Products, Texas Seamless what a professional.

41
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:05,200
I've done this for a few years. We are with

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,680
you today until two o'clock has eventually, we've got to

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,159
tell the truth at eleven thirty, believe it or not,

44
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:10,960
at one fifty, and then really an opportunity for us

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,199
to kind of gather through a few things, including the

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:21,639
Astros in Jordan. That's a tough one, and and there

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,080
are a lot of layers should I guess there shouldn't

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,520
be a lot of layers to it, but there's gonna

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,240
be some layers to it that we'll get I'll certainly

50
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,199
address on the show today. The Astros get blown out

51
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,919
twice and I mean creamed twice and then have two

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,080
pitchers duels. It just shows you how crazy and how

53
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,840
unpredictable baseball is. Yeah, it feels like we have to

54
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,080
go back to the old Crutch phrase, that's baseball. It's bizarre.

55
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,520
It is to get hard to what was the what

56
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:52,680
was the run differential in the series? Well, I mean

57
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:56,680
the the Astros bullpen Friday and Sunday. Well, we didn't

58
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,120
have to worry about it on Friday because Robert throws

59
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,240
a complete game. But Sunday the bullpen was good. Yesterday

60
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:04,280
Hunter Brown was good as while getting another victory. He

61
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,840
know he has what does he have? Eight wins? Now?

62
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,639
I think the Rockies have nine? He's coming for him,

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,680
coming for you, Colorado. Could you imagine being I don't

64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,240
even know if there's such thing as a Rockies fan,

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,560
but they're nine to fifty Rockies fan is locked in

66
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,759
on Denver broncos OTA's right, Oh oh, no quie. Imagine

67
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,000
if we were doing Denver sports radio, it would be like,

68
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,479
does Nicolo Jokic need some help? Well, they wouldn't bring

69
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,400
Who is gonna play? Can Bo Nicks make that leap

70
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:36,479
this year? Who's gonna play the backup defenseman for the Avalanche?

71
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,240
You know what? I bet you? Colorado Rapids soccer gets

72
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,000
more run than really, really, the Rockies. I'll take your

73
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:45,719
word for it. They're good. I mean, I imagine they

74
00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:49,199
can't be worse than the Rockies, that's true. They're absolutely horrible.

75
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:51,719
All right. So the Astros get two out of four

76
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,199
and are a half game behind the Mariners because they

77
00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:59,080
came back and walked off this the Minnesota Twins yesterday

78
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,960
by a final score two one. It was a one

79
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,639
nothing game. Twins tied in the ninth and then their

80
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,840
defense lets them down and Seattle wins it two to one.

81
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,919
Cal Rawley had another home run by the way big

82
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Dumper as they call him. Would you ever call that

83
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,240
nickname to a fellow human being, I mean, obviously he

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,720
likes Hey. I guess I've got to a couple places

85
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,120
on Richmond. I see some big dumpers. I'm trying to

86
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,480
make the Friday clips one one segment in Yeah, I mean,

87
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:35,480
I guess after set me up that was your fault.

88
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,160
I guess after a heavy meal too. I mean, it

89
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,800
is what it is. But uh so we got that

90
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,399
to get to we have the so they call you

91
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:49,160
at Bucky's claytest rushrooms in America. Shout out to them,

92
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:52,279
I'm sorry taking the lowing fruit. I'm gonna read it

93
00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:54,279
back in Yeah, you, I mean, we've weren't been on

94
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,399
there for four minutes. I don't care if you've been

95
00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:03,000
going too days. Get those repped said, Uh, it's funny.

96
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,839
We had maybe one of the most would you say, Jonathan,

97
00:05:07,879 --> 00:05:11,160
one of the most unnerving non Florida stories in the

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,240
history of the show this past Friday. I would like

99
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,079
a run back at some point. Can we run that back?

100
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:22,079
Speaker 3: That non Flora Storty was disgusting, like, whose was it mine? No, No,

101
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,639
it was not, it was it was mine.

102
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,959
Speaker 1: Okay, My second worst story of all time is when

103
00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:29,279
you don't know this, Jonathan, You weren't here, but I had.

104
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,759
We had a story a few years back where a

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,040
woman that was living in San Antonio was laying in

106
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:36,399
her bed and she started to notice that there was

107
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,800
blood dripping off of her roof of her apartment complex.

108
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,519
The person above her had died, had been dead for

109
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,199
several days. Yeah, it was a great story. It's a

110
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,240
really uplifting Yeah, what day was that? On the Wednesday Friday?

111
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,600
It was years ago, it was one of it was

112
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:54,439
one of the early non Florida stories. And then this

113
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,920
past week Ross we had a woman that had been

114
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,560
complaining of a sinus infection for seven years because of

115
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:09,240
her her ex boyfriend's fly Chileans X. They broke up

116
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,160
over it. Well, she was hurt, she had a foot

117
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,519
injury or ankled injury and had surgery so she was

118
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:20,480
immobile and he blue gass and it reached into her

119
00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:23,160
nose and she got a coli through that and has

120
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:26,600
had the No, that is not I doesn't add it.

121
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,319
I don't believe it. I need to. We need a

122
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,000
medical doctor to break this down. I mean, we could

123
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,560
get you know, I don't think is going on. Yeah,

124
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,480
I think so. I think anybody could put two and

125
00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:39,240
two together, could probably figure that out. But that's a

126
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:44,759
different issue for a different time. Oh all right, Non Florida,

127
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,480
say the show. That's fine, we got four more hours

128
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,000
of this. We do love it, all right, I have to.

129
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,879
I've been thinking a lot about the whole Jordon hand situation.

130
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,600
By the way, he's his hand is at sixty percent

131
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:06,040
according to the what Dana Brown said over the weekend.

132
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:08,839
That's good. So the first thing I would have thought

133
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,360
of was, okay, so if he's been gone since early May, hmm,

134
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:17,800
and he's at sixty percent, obviously he would be at

135
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:23,120
before sixty percent, say April twenty fifth, right, I would

136
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:29,399
think so. So, using the fractions and the equations, if

137
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:34,920
you're at sixty percent from April twenty fifth to June first,

138
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,959
you gotta get it's gonna be accelerated. You gotta get

139
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:41,040
stay with me on this, you gotta get the other

140
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:44,439
forty percent fixed, right, Yes, So if it takes a

141
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,040
month and a week to get to sixty is it

142
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,040
another four weeks to get to one hundred? I don't

143
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:53,000
know these it's not one for one. Maybe he's an

144
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,800
accelerated healer. What do you call that? When you try fractions?

145
00:07:56,839 --> 00:07:58,720
You know what is like two fourth is the same

146
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,000
as three sixth? The kind of you try rations? Rational? Rational?

147
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,839
I don't know. Jonathan's been in school reef more recently. Rational.

148
00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:13,319
I was a liberal arts man, all right. So that

149
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,680
was the first thing I thought, is if he's a

150
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,399
sixty percent, now, how when do you get to seventy

151
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:20,240
one percent? When does it hit eighty four percent? I

152
00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:23,959
don't know. I even said I said this last week

153
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,720
before this all went down. Just tell me when he's

154
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,279
back in the lineup. So Dana had to speak Saturday

155
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,559
in the dugout, and he was going through a lot

156
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,600
of medical terms, and clearly he was uncomfortable doing this inflammation.

157
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:41,000
There was all sorts of phrases, you know, all the

158
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,519
things that you would think a medical professional would be saying,

159
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:46,080
and not the general manager of a major league baseball team.

160
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,440
But you know what, if you're at your title, you're

161
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:54,120
gonna have to wear some additional responsibilities. So the number

162
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,679
one thing I think out of some And obviously we've

163
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,759
got really good meetia here Chandler and Brian and Matt

164
00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:01,600
from the Chronicle. They'll do a really good job. They're

165
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,559
on the beat every single day, they're asking the right questions,

166
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,440
they're training information for their readers and their audience, and

167
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:10,879
we certainly do our affair share as well. But the

168
00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:14,120
overwriting factor was how did this happen? How do you

169
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:16,919
take batting practice on Friday and then all of a

170
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:19,279
sudden this shows up on Saturday. I mean, should I

171
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,320
have even been on the field taking batting practice if

172
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,720
there was a fracture? And you know, data had to

173
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,399
unfortunately had to try to describe that the inflammation wasn't

174
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,720
the fracture wasn't seen until they went and goll looked

175
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,679
at the additional inflammation, which unfortunately you're not complained of

176
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,960
after the batting practice. So again we're getting very very

177
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,360
convoluted on this, and there is obviously a concern that

178
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:45,759
the astros are not being overly forthcoming with their injuries.

179
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,360
Not overly forth coming, they're basically not giving you any

180
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,639
information at all. So I kind of did an informal

181
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:58,279
survey of my friends that I would consider astro fans okay,

182
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,200
because again, when you're in the media, you may think

183
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,799
you may know what your audience wants, yes, or you

184
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:08,679
still want to figure out what they want. You can

185
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,919
be a bit out of touch to an extent because

186
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,279
the world we live in and the access is different

187
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,399
than the casual fans. So what I've deduced, and I

188
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,759
brought this up to somebody this morning, I've deduced that

189
00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:25,679
the social media aspect of the astros are incensed about this,

190
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,000
that the astros will not be more forthcoming and more

191
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,639
honest about their injuries and how they what comes up

192
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,679
of them and how they're described or not described, or

193
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,080
you know, whether it's making the trainer available or not.

194
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,000
That's that's that group. That's the p one die hard

195
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,360
on the edge of your seat yet get enough. Well,

196
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,919
they're mad when a pitch hitting decision is made. So's

197
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:52,480
it's social media. So I went to people this weekend

198
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,320
that are either and I would not say they're not

199
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,600
on social media, but they are not running to Twitter

200
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:01,000
every fifteen seconds game. That's what their thoughts are on

201
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,039
the Astros, I would say. And this is a group

202
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:06,159
I probably talked to four or five people this weekend,

203
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,120
you know, some fathers of some daughters of my friends,

204
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:13,720
and a couple of buddies as well. Those people that

205
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:15,600
group whatever, And then again, this is a very very

206
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,720
small sample size. That group is like, Yeah, it sucks

207
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,759
that yourdu'ce hurt. It sucks that the Astros are not

208
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:26,039
more forthcoming with their injuries, but I want him back

209
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,480
because when he comes back, he's going to help this team.

210
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,080
So I would just say, and again, in my very

211
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,440
very small sector of my life, between what I see

212
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,200
on social media and what I see from friends who

213
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,000
I actually are real human beings, that are people that

214
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,639
I don't see on Twitter, that are people that I

215
00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:44,720
have conversation with, ROSSI it's this sucks. I wish the

216
00:11:44,759 --> 00:11:48,240
Astros is more forthcoming, but I'm not losing any sleep

217
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:52,480
over it. I can get that because especially the media

218
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:55,000
members and the people who are on social media every

219
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,360
day posting one hundred times with the Astros, they're invested,

220
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,240
and in ten hours or two days or whatever of

221
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:05,360
this Jordone thing dragging on feels a lot longer than

222
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,960
somebody who's like, I'm cooking dinner, I'm gonna flip the

223
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,639
game on somebody who's casual is not and not an

224
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:13,879
is invested. It's not going to be They're not going

225
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,799
to experience as much of the ups and downs and

226
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:19,240
the lack of information and all this stuff. It becomes

227
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,759
a drama, basically a soap opera at this point when

228
00:12:21,799 --> 00:12:24,039
you're invested in every day rather than the casual fan

229
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,200
who's like, oh, what's the score, Let's see, let's let's

230
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,879
put this on for a minute, let's flip on seven ninety,

231
00:12:27,919 --> 00:12:31,360
let's listen to the game, right right. So I feel like,

232
00:12:32,159 --> 00:12:34,200
and I've talked about this before. I mean I've been

233
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,600
a fan of the Astros since nineteen seventy nine. I

234
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,600
mean I've been way more of a fan. I don't

235
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:41,279
know if it's not necessarily true because I've been the

236
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:43,559
media since nineteen ninety one. So I more of my

237
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,159
life has been as a member of the media than

238
00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:46,519
it has been as a fan. But I can you

239
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:48,200
can be you can be both. To say you're not

240
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,960
a beat writer or something, yeah, so there is no

241
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,000
make no mistake. I am a fan of the Astros.

242
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,360
That's my team. It's been my only baseball team. So

243
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,600
I feel like I can come from two different angles,

244
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,440
and I feel like I can have two different opinions

245
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,320
that may not be the satisfactory answer to some. But

246
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,879
there is a part of me that is really upset

247
00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:12,200
that the Astros don't give out more information. There's a

248
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:14,080
huge part of me that says, what are you trying

249
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,399
to hide? And there's also a lot of part of

250
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:19,799
me that says, this is sucks. And I know the

251
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,720
Astros in the left handed bat, and I know that

252
00:13:21,799 --> 00:13:23,879
Jordan is gonna, you know, hopefully come back and pick

253
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,639
up where he left off. Not necessarily this year, but

254
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:28,960
your previous years. Just get back, get healthy. And if

255
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,200
it's seventy percent today and it's excuse me, if it's

256
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,279
sixty percent today and it's ninety percent in two weeks,

257
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,399
let us know. Then. Yeah, there's multiple sides of the

258
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:39,360
coin that we want them to be forthcoming. We want

259
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:41,559
to know and because this is something that we talk

260
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:44,080
about and we're people are writing articles about it, and

261
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,440
we fill shows with that type of content. Yeah, and

262
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,360
then I get the coin that they don't know you

263
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:51,919
that hey, somebody breaks their hand, that's personal information and

264
00:13:51,919 --> 00:13:53,679
they don't owe it to us. But what I don't

265
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:57,600
like is when it just becomes flat out lies and

266
00:13:57,799 --> 00:14:01,679
incorrect information. Either keep it, yeah, keep it close to

267
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,320
the vest, that's fine, or to be forthcoming that's fine.

268
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:08,080
But the misinformation is where I really have an issue.

269
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,480
So I've come up with I think a pretty down

270
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,559
mill down the line response to this future injury talk,

271
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,000
because there can be other players that are injury two.

272
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:18,559
I mean there have been. I mean look the Kyle

273
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,120
Tucker lack of information as well, two fractures in back

274
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,720
to back seasons.

275
00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

276
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've chronicled, Uh, Jake Myers, it took James click

277
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,600
basically admitting that they brought him back too soon. I

278
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:31,960
mean that was after well after the fact. So and again,

279
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,559
this could be happening with a lot of different Major

280
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,639
League Baseball teams, a lot of sports organizations. I don't

281
00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:38,799
think the Astros are in this exclusive category of keeping

282
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,240
things uber close. We'll talk more about this we come back.

283
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,919
Ten to fifteen is the time. It is the Matt

284
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,039
Thomas Show with Ross seven one three, two one two

285
00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:48,039
five seven ninety. Where do you sign on this? Do

286
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,440
you are you the information seeker or you know what?

287
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,960
When he comes back, he comes back, let us know

288
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,960
what side you're on. Seven one three two, one, two, five,

289
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,960
seven ninety two. So are is there decide to pick

290
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,600
on when it comes to how the local baseball team

291
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:07,320
disseminates information, do you go, hey, please be more forthcoming.

292
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,519
We are your ticket holders, we are your fans, we

293
00:15:10,559 --> 00:15:14,480
are vested, we care, and we're not gonna hold it

294
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:20,360
against you. I don't think giving out medical information is

295
00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:23,679
intelligence that an other team can take advantage of. I mean,

296
00:15:23,679 --> 00:15:28,559
if you you can't take advantage of Jordan not being

297
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,679
in the line I mean, obviously, again, teams will be

298
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,080
disappointed or will be happy that he's not playing because

299
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,720
he's been beating up teams for a better p out

300
00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:36,480
of five or six years. But it's not like the

301
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,679
game playing differently because Jordan Alvarez is not in the lineup.

302
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:43,000
So after talking with some friends and like I said,

303
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,559
I tried to find people that were on social media,

304
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:47,919
but not like you know, look Ross, you and I

305
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,200
live and breathe it because it is the easiest way

306
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,320
for us to communicate with our audience. And it's also, yeah,

307
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,159
for the most part, a great place to find information

308
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,240
mm hmm, and hilarity at times, yeah, yes, and anger

309
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,279
and a well a lot of anger. A lot, a

310
00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:05,960
lot of anger. So I've thought about this, and I

311
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:10,440
was thinking about this again driving into work today. We

312
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:14,200
will continue to ask the questions about player injuries, will

313
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,159
continue to ask whether it's a minor ailment like a

314
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:20,759
Zach Decenzo, or it's a major element like Luis Garcia

315
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:26,759
or Jordan Alvarez, Chas mccorman, whatever. But I'm going to

316
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:32,440
unfortunately take everything with a grain of salt because more

317
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:35,159
times than not, the information that is being given out

318
00:16:35,159 --> 00:16:38,159
by the organization does not really match the end result.

319
00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:41,440
Now again, they're not the people that are speaking on

320
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:44,000
behalf of the astros are not doctors. The only people

321
00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:47,200
that can really give you the prognosis of a potential

322
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,200
of a player's ailment and how long. First of all,

323
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,200
it's two things. Everybody's human body is different. I may

324
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,120
take three weeks to recover from something. You may take

325
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:57,200
you five or six, so it's inexact science or flip it.

326
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,240
You may be done in two or three days ross

327
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,639
and I may take you too. I know it make

328
00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:07,279
you feel better now, thank you. But asking none baseball people,

329
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,440
I mean non medical people, how someone's going to recuperate

330
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,119
from something unless they're getting it straight from the source,

331
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,359
and they're probably holding a lot of it back. So

332
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:21,559
I'm taking everything I hear from baseball personnel and PR people,

333
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,960
and that concludes Joe and Dana, who I respect tremendously.

334
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,759
I'm gonna take all of it with a grain of salt.

335
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,640
I just can't fully go, oh, thank goodness Joe said

336
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,240
this or Dana said this, because you've probably been burning

337
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,160
more times than not off of that. And again, I

338
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,200
don't blame them. There's some dynamic, whether it's the athlete,

339
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,680
whether it's protecting the athlete, or it's protecting the medical staff.

340
00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:48,240
There is a lint. There is a line of protection

341
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,279
that is over this organization, and it's everybody. It's every organization.

342
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,279
I mean, I'm sure the Rockets have done things in

343
00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:57,200
the past that have been like what's really going on,

344
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,200
or the Texans or any other sports teams that that

345
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:02,759
you may or may not be fans of, But it

346
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,480
just feels like this has been a recurring theme the

347
00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:07,799
last handful of years, and so I go, you know what,

348
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,319
how am I supposed to believe you? So I guess

349
00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:17,680
what I'm not. It's you wanna call it a one off,

350
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,960
but it keeps happening. We go to the Kyle Tucker thing,

351
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,920
then we go to this and and then they tell

352
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,799
us this story about discomfort and the swelling has to

353
00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:27,680
go down, and then all of a sudden there's a

354
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,559
fracture and and like it feels like the same old story.

355
00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:36,160
It's it's very bizarre that this keeps happening. It's and

356
00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:39,119
I just don't get it. It is a show real.

357
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,240
I just don't get it. And again, it's not going

358
00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:45,240
to ruin my passion for the baseball No, it's not

359
00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:49,119
going to ruin my passion for the sport. The Astros

360
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:54,400
won yesterday in that you know, low scoring affair. It

361
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,359
was exciting to see them beat the race that ninth

362
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,200
inning with that pit with that tailor dude from the

363
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:01,279
race that got toast for tapping his cat. I mean,

364
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,000
that is that is amazing. That's why I love baseball.

365
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,480
And I want the Astros to win. I want them

366
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:09,480
to win the division they are. I want them to

367
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:11,359
get at least a wild cart, and I want us

368
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,640
to have a good old time talking about them and

369
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,880
what they're gonna do and trials and tribulations. But in

370
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,119
a six month season where there's hundreds of storylines. This

371
00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:23,480
is just not a great one and it's not enjoyable

372
00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:26,920
to discuss. I'm disappointed that the organization has gone in

373
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,720
this direction, but it is what it is, and I

374
00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:33,000
think it frustrates probably the Beat writers, clearly it does,

375
00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:35,759
because all they're doing is trying to get information. Chadler

376
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,759
and Brian and Matt those are the three Beat guys.

377
00:19:39,519 --> 00:19:42,279
Do they're not? I know all I know two of

378
00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:44,680
the three of them extraordinarily well. I don't know Matt

379
00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:46,400
very well. It seems like a nice enough guy. He's

380
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,240
a swell fella. Yeah. Uh, They're not going to get

381
00:19:50,279 --> 00:19:54,079
get you moments. They're they're as much as you think.

382
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,319
Chandler is a guy that likes to chide people and

383
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,200
get which he does. But if he's a professional, but

384
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,319
he's a professional who's just trying to do his job.

385
00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:05,400
They're trying to do their That's the way that I

386
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,640
I was gonna say the exact same thing. They're just

387
00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:12,160
trying to do their jobs. And these astods organization, relative

388
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,720
to some others, aren't as forthcoming with injury type news,

389
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,480
and so when you're a beat reporter, you're a conduit

390
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:22,720
to the fans. You're supposed to be. It's you're on

391
00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:24,799
the beat, you're supposed to be talking about what's happening

392
00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:27,000
every day. People would say, if they weren't asking the

393
00:20:27,079 --> 00:20:29,039
questions about the injuries, they would go to the beat reporters.

394
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:31,680
They would say, Chandler, Matt and Brian, why aren't you

395
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,319
asking how JR dun is? So by default they have

396
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,079
to do it right. And we certainly do as when

397
00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:42,480
we talked to Joe on every Tuesday and he gives

398
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:45,160
us updates, and I'm sure Sean does that with Dana

399
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,480
as well. But the philosophy of the organization is less

400
00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:56,319
is more, and maybe we aren't being And again I

401
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,759
don't know if it's truthful. I don't I don't think

402
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:01,200
they're lying intentionally. There what's the Purposely there is a

403
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,680
purple and then there's a fracture. It doesn't make sense

404
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,000
for the media, It just doesn't. Yeah, they're not gonna lie,

405
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,880
They're just they're just not going to give you the

406
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,160
stuff that you want. So that's the that's the balance.

407
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,240
And again, ultimately, I think for most people that listen

408
00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:14,960
to this show, they want to know about the good stuff.

409
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:18,279
They want to know the good. You know, if camp

410
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:20,599
Smith's starting to hit the ball a lot better, you know,

411
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,559
as Hunter Brown a legitimate sion candidate. So we're gonna

412
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:25,839
do the good and the bad. But it's just it

413
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,240
was just a really weird weekend from he hits in

414
00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:33,880
the cage on Friday to getting he's close, He's close.

415
00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:37,759
I Brian Mttacker even show went to the lineup car

416
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,359
like you did on Saturday and says, no, you're on

417
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,400
the lineup today. Okay, well that's maybe he needs a

418
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,039
day off just to close. Yeah, maybe it's maybe Sunday.

419
00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:46,720
Maybe it's in somewhere in the Pittsburgh Cleveland trip. And

420
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,359
then all of a sudden, Dana goes up there in

421
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,119
the back of the dugout and has to have a

422
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,559
ten minute old conversation with a bunch of medias saying

423
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:56,519
he's sixty percent and it's now got a fracture. Tough,

424
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,240
but that's what additional media, and that's But also, you know,

425
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,640
when you're a successful team, people care about this stuff.

426
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,119
You have a bigger fan baser that that really does care.

427
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,720
We did have times when nobody cared if anybody was

428
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,279
had any refractured I don't think you could have nine

429
00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:15,400
members of the Rockies with fractured parts of their body

430
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,640
and no one in Denver would care so And we'll

431
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,039
obviously get to more of that later, but most importantly,

432
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:23,440
the Astros did split the series. They are a half

433
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,160
game out of first place. They have a day off

434
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,839
today and then they'll start a three game series with

435
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,200
the Pittsburgh Pirates starting on Tuesday from the Steel City.

436
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:35,640
All Right, ten twenty nine on Sports Talk seven ninety.

437
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,960
The things we're gonna get to today is that Tampa

438
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,079
Bay Ray who got injected last night. That was I

439
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,279
put this out on Twitter when had happened. It was

440
00:22:45,319 --> 00:22:46,920
one of the best ejections dit versity in my life

441
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,160
because Taylor Walls. I don't even know who Taylor Walls

442
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,720
is now, by the way, he doesn't like a Taylor

443
00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:55,799
looks like a bubba Bubba Walls, Okay, that's what you

444
00:22:55,799 --> 00:22:58,119
can call him. Yeah, Like he will come after me

445
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,039
like that. Huh? Was he wearing camouflage in the batter's

446
00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:03,720
box or I think he had some something between his

447
00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:06,799
chicken gums, so ch'all. I think he's just a fringe

448
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:09,279
major leaguer from what I understood. Okay, so if you

449
00:23:09,319 --> 00:23:13,440
didn't see what happened and uh he got the strike

450
00:23:13,519 --> 00:23:19,680
one call on him was horrific. I mean, ross, it

451
00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:26,599
wasn't even close it what if you look at the

452
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,079
uh well it depends on that. Yeah, on the on

453
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,519
the astros screen, it looks like it wasn't even close.

454
00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:35,920
But I saw one of the MLB basically from the

455
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,119
MLB app and it looks it is actually super close.

456
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,799
It was. I'm looking at what I saw on TV.

457
00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:44,759
On the TV, it looks worse than when you go.

458
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,119
And I believe that the MLB dot com dat is

459
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,000
supposed to be like the real Okay, good, real box,

460
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,079
that's good. But from my eyes watching the game, it

461
00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:57,279
was horror. It was a shoelace strike call. He obviously

462
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,640
mister mister Walls was not pleased. Take a step out

463
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,880
of the box. Oh yeah, that's yeah. I mean you're MLB.

464
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:06,759
That's that's close. That's not That's not how I saw it.

465
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:09,240
But again, I will trust the data. We're gonna trust

466
00:24:09,279 --> 00:24:14,400
data about millimeters. And then he taps his helmet three times,

467
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,440
which is the international sign of I want it reviewed.

468
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,039
The umpire calmly goes from the back of home plate

469
00:24:21,079 --> 00:24:23,839
to the front of it and turns around and stares

470
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,519
up to the up to the press box, and I

471
00:24:26,519 --> 00:24:28,039
guess he said, you can't do that, get the hell

472
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:30,240
out or whatever it was. And that's when Taylor Wells

473
00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:35,160
lost his mind. Yeah, and I mean he's lying. He's

474
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,640
he didn't tap in his helmet. He can come on, man,

475
00:24:39,839 --> 00:24:42,640
completely showed the umpire up and yes, and I know

476
00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:47,000
that these umpires don't think they make any mistakes. I

477
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,960
have the feeling there that missed. The empire behind home

478
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,279
plate feels terrible about what the call was. And again

479
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:54,400
maybe the data will say wasn't that bad of a

480
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,960
miss after all? But to tap and say I was

481
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,319
just adjusing my helmet is a flat out liner. Remember

482
00:25:01,319 --> 00:25:03,799
what I tell you, The average person lies four times

483
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:07,440
a day. Tyler Wells lied, Taylor ted, I don't know

484
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:11,079
matter its call when I'd be worrying about his Hall

485
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:15,920
of Fame speech, but I don't think so. Man. It's

486
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,759
it's funny because he's acting like he didn't do it.

487
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,279
Come on, man, he got you cut in four K correct.

488
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,319
You can see this replay and over the game. It

489
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,799
was on Tampa TV, Houston TV and anybody that wanted

490
00:25:29,799 --> 00:25:32,680
to watch on the extra innings package saw it. You're

491
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,000
a liar, It's all right, yeah, own it. So yeah,

492
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,359
I go check the data. And then somebody sent me

493
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,440
a tweet said, well, you know, he spent a lot

494
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,920
of time in the minor leagues. Maybe he forgot whe

495
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,920
he was. Yeah. I don't think when you have the

496
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,200
word raise across your jersey and you're playing in front

497
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,920
of forty thousand people, you kind of know where you are.

498
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,039
If he'd ha done it immediately, I might be able

499
00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:54,319
to buy that. But he he barks the referee or like,

500
00:25:54,519 --> 00:25:56,759
I mean, no referee the he he like kind of

501
00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:59,039
looks at him, says a couple of things and then

502
00:25:59,240 --> 00:25:59,519
does it.

503
00:25:59,599 --> 00:25:59,759
Speaker 5: Yeah.

504
00:25:59,839 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I'm gonna show you up. Yeah, let's talk

505
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,519
to We're going to Lufky. We're going to the heart

506
00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:07,079
of East Texas. Oh wow, fifteen tournaments of my house.

507
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,759
Jeff on seven ninety Jeff, good morning.

508
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 5: Good morning, guys. Thanks for taking my call. I just

509
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,559
actually turned you on, but I think you had been

510
00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:20,519
or caught you briefly a few minutes ago talking about

511
00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:24,559
the Goordon deal and all that. My question to you, guys, is,

512
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,759
and it kind of goes back to the Kyle Tucker saga.

513
00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:32,160
They say, well, we did some further imaging or our

514
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,000
players being sent to what discount imaging or whatever? Why

515
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,759
don't they do all of that to begin with? When

516
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:43,039
they're assessing these guys injuries, you know, they come back

517
00:26:43,079 --> 00:26:46,359
and say, well, kind of upon a further review, he

518
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,240
does have a fracture. Well, couldn't we find that out

519
00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:52,640
in the beginning. I don't understand. I think we can

520
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,559
get the best medical attention available anyway. That's all I

521
00:26:57,599 --> 00:26:58,079
have on it.

522
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Thanks, That's what this is hard to figure out

523
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:08,039
because it seems like when mistakes are made with the

524
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:11,920
astros and medical stuff, it's players either trying to play

525
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,759
through things or being rolled on, admitted, or being rushed

526
00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:16,440
through things. Yeah, he says, I wanted to play you know,

527
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,279
I want to play through this, and the astro said, yeah,

528
00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:20,039
we try to let you play through this. And even

529
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,920
Dana admitted so much of the weekend that maybe that

530
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,079
was a mistake, and you know what, and that's I

531
00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:27,960
can respect some of that because there are too many

532
00:27:28,039 --> 00:27:31,200
players in professional sports that under any if some if

533
00:27:31,319 --> 00:27:33,359
if an index finger hurts, I gotta miss four or

534
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,920
five days. So there is a certain level of respect

535
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,119
for players who want to play through pain, But at

536
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,000
a certain level you have to to say, is this

537
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,720
pain gonna go away? Is there any sides of it?

538
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,119
Of Uh, the swelling going down? Is it still an issue?

539
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,519
And if it is, shut, shut, shut your body down

540
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:55,440
for a while. Yeah, clearly this was mishandled at some point. Exactly.

541
00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:57,720
We're not doctors, so we can't tell you the exact point.

542
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,000
We didn't look at the imaging. Like we said last week,

543
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,480
we don't know a thing. Went to FedEx Kinkos to

544
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,160
get the X ray. We don't know, but something ain't right.

545
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,640
Could you imagine Jordon walking into a Kinkos and walking

546
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,279
to Kikos. I'm gona doing it for a rinkos. Rinkos. Sorry,

547
00:28:12,279 --> 00:28:14,359
I would like to put my right hand hands hurt

548
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:16,960
my hand, my hands on your on the printer? Will

549
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,519
that be color or they'll be black and white? Yeah,

550
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,440
I don't know. I'm just telling you. My philosophy now

551
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,559
is questions. Will we continue to answer get asked, they'll

552
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:35,279
be answered. I'm I'm going to not give anybody the

553
00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:38,440
benefit that I'm going to say when Jordan Alvarez is

554
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,279
on the field in the lineup card, we'll celebrate it. Yeah,

555
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,440
but to kind of try to you know, you always

556
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,319
show that term sooner rather than later. I hate that term,

557
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,640
as you know, more than anything.

558
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 6: M M.

559
00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: That's why I like to use it. I know you do.

560
00:28:50,039 --> 00:28:52,559
You you egged me out with it. I'm just telling you,

561
00:28:52,839 --> 00:28:55,160
I ain't going with that. I ain't buying it. I

562
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,240
ain't if somebody tells me it could be another three

563
00:28:57,319 --> 00:29:00,160
or four days, don't believe it. When he gets in

564
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,440
the lineup and this is for any athlete, yes, I'll

565
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:06,240
then I'll celebrate it, but I'm done going. Oh I'm

566
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,880
hearing encouraging things because I don't. I don't believe anymore.

567
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:09,440
I just don't.

568
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:10,079
Speaker 4: No.

569
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,759
Speaker 1: And we said the same thing last year with this

570
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:17,440
Kyle Tucker thing. Yeah, we've been here before, and probably

571
00:29:17,519 --> 00:29:19,799
Kyle's getting pissed, like, man, I'm really in pain here,

572
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:23,440
tell him a fractured let him know I'm not some

573
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,559
you know, soft wooss because because Kyle was worrying because

574
00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:29,720
there were people like, oh, your done it? What's he doing?

575
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,440
Was he waiting for being soft? Because there was the

576
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,920
comments from Joe's body used it and Dana Brown used it.

577
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,319
We're waiting for him. We're waiting for him to tell

578
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,319
us he's good to go, which implies medical clearance. Yes,

579
00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:44,519
it does. I'm not implying anymore. Yeah, here's what I'm done, ROSSI.

580
00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:48,240
I'm not implying anymore. I'm not assuming anymore. I'm not

581
00:29:48,279 --> 00:29:51,519
predicting anymore. I'm not forecasting anymore. I'm done with all

582
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,000
that unless it's Tommy John. There you go, hey, old

583
00:29:54,039 --> 00:29:57,240
Tommy John. Okay, I'll give you one l twelve to

584
00:29:57,319 --> 00:30:01,519
sixteen months. I'm forecasting sixteen every single the time. It's

585
00:30:01,519 --> 00:30:05,319
been since June of twenty three for Luis Garcia. Yeah, okay,

586
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,680
then I was wrong twenty four months for him for

587
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:11,880
multiple setbacks? Was he a rushback? Oscar seven ninety, Good morning.

588
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,039
Speaker 7: LA's enjoying the show as always this morning.

589
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:17,519
Speaker 1: Thank you.

590
00:30:17,839 --> 00:30:20,759
Speaker 7: I have got to say, I like a lot of

591
00:30:20,759 --> 00:30:26,680
the fans. Sometimes I hear comments from a few folks

592
00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:31,200
with the astros, and maybe I don't understand why they

593
00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:35,799
might not come full out with information about injuries. But

594
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,519
I do know this, and there's one thing that no

595
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:45,200
caller will ever convince me otherwise, the astros are run

596
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:51,880
by a billionaire, Their players are tremendous assets. They are

597
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,240
not going to some dock in the box on the

598
00:30:54,279 --> 00:30:57,680
corner that's opened twenty four hours a day, seven days

599
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,079
a week and take and walk in pay since to

600
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,240
have their players analyzed, tested and run the full gamut

601
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:10,200
of the greatest medical facilities and doctors that this city,

602
00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:14,039
in fact, this state, this country, this world has to offer.

603
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:18,160
And when I hear these kind of phone calls, I

604
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:22,000
have to just chuckle a little bit to think that

605
00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:25,839
they would do anything but do the very very best

606
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,400
for their players. Now, why we don't always get the answers?

607
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,359
I would suggest to you guys, maybe get some people

608
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,839
on every now and then some doctors that could talk

609
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,839
about that. Not Castro's doctors, but some that could be impartial.

610
00:31:40,119 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: Well, yes, a lot of time, it's funny to bring

611
00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:44,920
you bring that up, Oscar, because you when you try

612
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,680
and do that, doctors typically not all of them, but

613
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:53,200
typically will say I can't give you a prognosis off

614
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,279
of something I've never seen from the imaging right. So

615
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:57,759
that and they don't want to put themselves out there

616
00:31:57,799 --> 00:32:01,400
to say, well, doctor A from this place says that

617
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,519
your un should have been out there when doctor A

618
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,480
never saw any of the graphs or any of the

619
00:32:05,599 --> 00:32:07,720
X rays or any of that. So that's why it's

620
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:08,799
very difficult for it.

621
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 7: I get that, But here's my point on that. I'm

622
00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:16,400
not asking him to give a prognosis. I'm asking him.

623
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,480
Maybe the question would be to them, is there many

624
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:22,839
times something that you see in these X rays or

625
00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:26,200
in these MRIs or in these cat scans that looks

626
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,519
one way and you find out six weeks later because

627
00:32:29,559 --> 00:32:34,319
a tissue damage or whatever appears a different way. Does

628
00:32:34,359 --> 00:32:35,000
that make sense?

629
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,599
Speaker 1: It does? And I've seen a couple of different folks

630
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:40,200
on Twitter saying that I am a doctor and this

631
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,839
has happened to me, and then other people have said

632
00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:46,200
that again, it really runs both directions. How do you

633
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:52,559
put him out there even for batting practice when I

634
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:57,319
mean he had to have been pain free, right, Yeah,

635
00:32:57,359 --> 00:32:59,240
you'd have to think so you would have to assume

636
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,079
that he is pain free on Friday when he went

637
00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:04,519
to the batting cage. Why would you if you don't

638
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:08,039
feel good, are you being pressured to get out there?

639
00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:10,759
I don't think so. I don't think the gastros are

640
00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:14,799
doing that. So some of this is on the player

641
00:33:14,839 --> 00:33:17,000
to say, I feel great, I'm gonna go out there.

642
00:33:17,119 --> 00:33:20,039
But if he did go out there and wasn't feeling

643
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,480
his best, and then then then that's that's on the athlete.

644
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,119
And again who's to say whose fault it is? And

645
00:33:25,119 --> 00:33:28,279
the necessarily doesn't that be a fault? But the if

646
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,599
nd statement, if he's ready to swing the bat and

647
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,480
he's been swinging off the t, he's been all these

648
00:33:34,519 --> 00:33:38,000
sorts of things progressing along Nane nicely. How does it

649
00:33:38,039 --> 00:33:39,599
all of a sudden we come back as a fracture

650
00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:41,839
the next day? That that, to me is is the

651
00:33:41,839 --> 00:33:45,920
part that my medical license does not necessarily COMPREHENDI yeah,

652
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,960
I haven't got to that chapter yet. Yeah, all right

653
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,839
seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven

654
00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:53,279
to one three two one two five seven. Unty, I'm

655
00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:56,160
kind of exhausted about something. But I saw him over

656
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,680
the weekend. I mean, I get to it right this second,

657
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,960
But I'm telling you it was a lot of it

658
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,279
was too much coverage of one event. Does that make

659
00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:08,599
sense to you, Sports Harvey, I'm intrigued, Matt. That's what

672
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Berkeley Ice Center was running

673
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,800
through the news headlines if that anybody cares. But Boise

674
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,320
State is leaving the Mountain West to go to the

675
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,840
PAC twelve. What I know there is I thought the

676
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,639
Pack TUEB was dead. Well, they're gonna rebuild it. We're back, baby.

677
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:55,639
I think that's three teams. I thought it was just

678
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,280
Washington State. So here are the new pack twell teams,

679
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:03,599
Washington State, or State, oh Man, boyse U State, Colorado State,

680
00:35:03,679 --> 00:35:06,519
Fransno State, San Diego State, Utah State. That's basically Mountain

681
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:08,880
West Conference, just with a new name on. Yeah, we've

682
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,119
heard ESPN has been one dollar for the rights packages

683
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,159
Greg Sanky commissioners like, so what does this mean for us? Nothing?

684
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,599
Goodbye that Lebron give him him going, oh, I'm so scared.

685
00:35:20,679 --> 00:35:24,079
Put your games on the WUB knock yourself out, or

686
00:35:25,199 --> 00:35:27,679
come on, Matt, put a UPN while they're at it.

687
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,039
Not the Michigan j Frog network anymore. It's the c

688
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,960
W fifty five of the tube. I believe has has

689

00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,199
on the call that might actually happen. Let me tell

692
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:43,599
if I can go to the past. Twob is owned

693
00:35:43,639 --> 00:35:46,119
by Fox. I didn't know that, Okay, yeah, oh no, no,

694
00:35:46,159 --> 00:35:48,519
what's the one that was? What's the one on Sunday Moeks?

695
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:48,920

good for them, I mean it is what it is.

704
00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:19,920
But you're just read just going from one min to

705
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,280
the other. They don't even have a theme.

706
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 9: It just goes, this is the Roku channel and we're

707

gonna put a Pack twelve game on it in the

708
00:36:27,119 --> 00:36:32,119

00:36:32,199 --> 00:36:33,360
them the best, wishing the best.

710
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: Man, if i'm Boys State Bronco, I might as well

711
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,960
I'm beating my chez. We're Packed twelve. Maybe we're powerful.

712
00:36:38,039 --> 00:36:40,039
You're playing the on the on the blue field tonight.

713
00:36:40,119 --> 00:36:43,039
They're like, shut your bomass up. There's no such thing. Hell,

714
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:47,119
there's only there's barely a Power four. Greg sank you

715
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,320
CEC Commissioner and be like, yeah, we're gonna be good

716
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,239
with uh the Big twelve, I mean the Big ten

717
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,480
of the SCC and the rest of y'all can play

718
00:36:53,519 --> 00:36:55,159
a long if you want. It's like a Power plus.

719
00:36:55,199 --> 00:36:56,920
It's like how you have to subscribe to everything now

720
00:36:57,119 --> 00:37:01,519
ESPN plus it's power pull up, Power two plus, Power four.

721
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,480
I don't know. It's very confusing. Yeah, I'm confused, all right,

722
00:37:05,519 --> 00:37:07,440
So I just I just saw that. I actually kind

723
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,559
of giggled. I was like, Oh, the boys State's going

724
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:11,440
to good for them, Pack twelve with the rest of the

725
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,960
other schools that left the Mountain West Big ten and

726
00:37:14,119 --> 00:37:17,760
SEC are power four plus, power four plus. Well, there's

727
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,599
just you just call them the two, all those SEC

728
00:37:21,679 --> 00:37:23,719
I'm surprised Gordy is not raining here to trying to

729
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,280
defend the SEC's honor baseball. Yeah, it's a game of inches.

730
00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:31,760
Seven to fourth on a game of inches. That was

731
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,400
a beat That was a beatdown until the Longhorns score too.

732
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:35,760
And then I listened to the game on the radio.

733
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:41,360
You did, I did, Craig doug here, No, okay, I

734
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,840
listened on the APPS. All right, well that's fine, Okay,

735
00:37:45,079 --> 00:37:47,960
we had how about a Fresco on or something? Uh,

736
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:49,880
what do we have on Sunday night? Could we put

737
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,440
the game on? I guess we could have. But what

738
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,639
is the college baseball radio audience? Probably minimum you would

739
00:37:55,639 --> 00:37:58,079
have tuned in? Well, I was one. I was listening

740
00:37:58,079 --> 00:38:01,679
to the Austin station. So part of the proud iHeartRadio family.

741
00:38:02,199 --> 00:38:05,119
All right, seven one three two one two five seven, Honey,

742
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:06,559
So I tease this and we'll do to the top

743
00:38:06,599 --> 00:38:08,800
of the hour. There's something that happened a lot this weekend,

744
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,760
and I was getting a little exhausted about You ever

745
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,639
see something where you're looking forward to something on television

746
00:38:16,679 --> 00:38:18,599
and then it becomes too much, Like maybe I need

747
00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:21,239
to step away. That's what I did this week. I

748
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,440
need further explanation. You're gonna get it in a matter

749
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,360
of moments. To Tell the Truth is coming up in

750
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,280
one half hour. I can't get enough of Lauren Shahai.

751
00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:30,280
We can definitely have a lot of that on there.

752
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,039
She's just delightful. See well I did to say that

753
00:38:33,039 --> 00:38:35,880
out loud, Okay, I'll keep it to myself. I mean

754
00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:40,480
she's she's doing a great job. She's we don't have

755
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,719
the volume on, but she's doing fantastic. She's network level,

756
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:50,440
network talent level, MLB network strong, strong network. It's the

757
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,440
slogan should be with the games, mean not as much

758
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,280
of the girls. It's the top talent. I mean they're

759
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,400
not girls, they're women. It's TV's top talent that were

760
00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:04,599
by far ten seven ninety. Wait to tell the Truth

761
00:39:04,639 --> 00:39:06,360
coming up in a half an hour from now, Ross,

762
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,199
I will give you four sports takes. I will believe

763
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,679
three of them, there's only one I don't believe, all right?

764
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,920
For you to sign which one? I'm not telling the truth? Wait?

765
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,800
What was the oldest time? Look at you jumping in

766
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,760
let's go? Yeah? Has he got to win yet? You

767
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,039
know what? He's too busy texts sex and his girl.

768
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:32,480
Second thing, I miss you baby, that's not a sex Well,

769
00:39:34,119 --> 00:39:37,400
forget it all right? Anyways, to tell the truth coming

770
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:42,039
up at eleven, program will believe Jonathan? Three one I

771
00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:44,480
will not believe to be for you to decide which

772
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:49,679
one I don't believe, all right? So uh, Game number

773
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,920
six of the Eastern Conference Finals took place on Sunday

774
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,840
night or Saturday night, and the Pacers won and knocked

775
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,199
out the Nicks, and the Pacers and the Oklahoma Sydney

776
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:05,360
Thunder will be playing for the NBA Championship. Indianapolis versus

777
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,480
Oklahoma City, I want to say those are two of

778
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,960
the bottom five media markets. I want to say Indianapolis

779
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,559
has got to be about twenty five maybe, and then

780
00:40:16,559 --> 00:40:18,599
in Okamis has got to be about forty somewhere in

781
00:40:18,599 --> 00:40:20,320
that range and maybe off a little bit on those,

782
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,239
but that'd be my guestimation. Oh, by the way.

783
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:30,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably the biggest gut feeling in your entire Oh yeah.

784
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,119
Speaker 1: Why don't you say it tomorrow? No, no, that's true

785
00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:37,199
today all week, it's all week celebration. I see how

786
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,480
he is. So the game was over and that was

787
00:40:41,519 --> 00:40:46,760
the final time in thirty six years the NBA and

788
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:52,960
the TNT will have come to a close. They have.

789
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,880
And this is weird because I'm a I'm a TV

790
00:40:56,039 --> 00:41:00,920
sports geek. This may come as a surprise to none

791
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,599
of you, but I was not a big social butterfly

792
00:41:03,679 --> 00:41:05,719
when I was in high school, especially younger. As I

793
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,199
got older in high school, I was involved, but blossomed. Yeah,

794
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,159
my weight did blossom too, but that's a different issue

795
00:41:11,199 --> 00:41:14,239
for a different time. So my freshman year and sophomore year,

796
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,599
I did not go out and have quote unquote dates.

797
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,559
I wasn't going to dances.

798
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:19,199
Speaker 10: Uhuh.

799
00:41:19,199 --> 00:41:22,039
Speaker 1: Me and my buddies would watch the NBA and TNT.

800
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,639
We'd grab we get pizza. Yes, we'd rote take different

801
00:41:25,639 --> 00:41:28,039
guys' houses and we'd go watch doubleheaders of basketball on

802
00:41:28,039 --> 00:41:31,199
Friday nights. The NBA and TNT was like, you're giving

803
00:41:31,199 --> 00:41:33,239
me a cable package of all these games that I

804
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,400
normally would only see on the weekends on CBS. This

805
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:40,599
is amazing. So it was a little bittersweet for me

806
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,559
to see the last TNT game. Now again, the contract

807
00:41:43,559 --> 00:41:45,679
for the NBA for the t new TV deals ten years,

808
00:41:45,679 --> 00:41:48,280
so in theory it's probably gonna be longer than that.

809
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,719
But so it was a little surreal. And they've done

810
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:56,400
an excellent job. You've had guys like Vern Lundquist, Marv Albert, Kevin, Harlan,

811
00:41:57,599 --> 00:42:01,639
Dick Stockton, I mean, all the legendary goat broadcasters. So

812
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,320
it's a little surreal. And that, to me was the

813
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,199
saddest part about Saturday's game. Beyond the result itself, was

814
00:42:09,679 --> 00:42:14,440
this network which basically took over when Michael Jeffrey Jordan

815
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,159
was really going and got going and made this what

816
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,440
it is today. And look TNT is in its NBA

817
00:42:20,519 --> 00:42:24,320
brain has been magnificent for many, many decades. Obviously, that

818
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,480
to me was the sad part of it. The inside

819
00:42:28,519 --> 00:42:32,440
the NBA guys, that part of it to me was

820
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:38,599
a little overdone. Why you may ask, because all four

821
00:42:38,679 --> 00:42:42,960
of those dudes are still employed. Yes, they're going to

822
00:42:43,039 --> 00:42:47,119
be on a different network. You would hope that ESPN

823
00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:49,559
wouldn't rock the boat in terms of changing its format

824
00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:52,639
or how they do it. But they're gonna be all

825
00:42:52,679 --> 00:42:54,360
in the same spot. A matter of fact, they're not

826
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,480
even going to Bristol. Can I get where ESPN is.

827
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,159
They're going to do their show from Atlanta and they're

828
00:42:58,159 --> 00:43:00,760
gonna send it on a satellite feed at Bristol to

829
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,719
air from there. Now, they may not be as hon

830
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,280
as much. They're only gonna do I think games after

831
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,599
the first jun January. They may do a couple of

832
00:43:08,599 --> 00:43:10,639
games on Christmas and some big super games, but they're

833
00:43:10,639 --> 00:43:12,199
gonna work less than they did this year. You know,

834
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,519
for years, those guys will work every Thursday night. I

835
00:43:15,559 --> 00:43:18,360
think Charles said third to half of the season or something. Yeah,

836
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,639
something like that. So they're gonna work. They're gonna be

837
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,119
less games, which may make it more fun because it'll

838
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:25,039
be nice to have those guys on the bigger games

839
00:43:25,039 --> 00:43:27,159
compared to them doing a Memphis Charlotte game or something

840
00:43:27,199 --> 00:43:29,800
like that. They'll actually know the players, but none of

841
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,000
them are out of work. They've all signed new contracts.

842
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,159
They're all insanely rich and got richer, and so to me,

843
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,440
I thought the farewell to inside the NBA. Part of

844
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,840
the NBA and T and T was a little overdone.

845
00:43:43,039 --> 00:43:44,920
I could see that. Yeah, and they're also I think

846
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,039
they're doing another show on T and T. It's gonna

847
00:43:47,079 --> 00:43:48,320
be I don't know if it's gonna be like a

848
00:43:49,039 --> 00:43:52,280
like a first take style NBA style with those guys.

849
00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:55,559
They're gonna they're gonna be on another show, so they're yeah,

850
00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:58,960
they're not going away. So it was I didn't watch it,

851
00:43:59,079 --> 00:44:02,320
so they was basically like, great run, guys, is the best.

852
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:03,960
It was almost like it was a farewell. And even

853
00:44:04,119 --> 00:44:06,199
when Ernie Johnson said what he said, he says, our

854
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,800
crew stands here. Yes, we've got people that are on

855
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,519
this crew that are gonna get jobs at Amazon or

856
00:44:10,599 --> 00:44:13,079
people are gonna jobs at an NBC. I mean, now

857
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,199
I'm great. I'm assuming that some people will be lost

858
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,079
in the shuffle. I mean that just comes with a

859
00:44:17,159 --> 00:44:20,000
natural move moving a year after year. But it felt

860
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,280
like to me that everybody was just like, yeah, it's sad.

861
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,280
But to me, the biggest storyline of the team of

862
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,239
the weekend was not the inside the NBA show. It

863
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,239
was the game coverage, which was exemplary. I mean, you

864
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:40,679
had HB. Brown, you had Chuck Daily, you had Steve

865
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,599
Kerr when he was doing games. You've had you know,

866
00:44:43,679 --> 00:44:47,599
Reggie saying, give her take on Reggie, he's better. But

867
00:44:47,639 --> 00:44:50,760
my point is that they did an excellent job. And

868
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,159
I have Kevin Arland and Iron Eagle calling games and

869
00:44:53,199 --> 00:44:56,880
Brian Anderson, now I mean top shelf people that I

870
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,400
admire as broadcasters. There was nobody on those broadcasts and

871
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,280
I said, man, you're a fish out. Even Chris Weber

872
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,239
was good until he became a demon. Then he eventually

873
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,360
got the hook from there. But my point is that

874
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,599
I would have liked to have had them spend more

875
00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:10,599
time talking about the game coverage, because that's what tn

876
00:45:10,639 --> 00:45:13,199
T is losing. That's what we as fans are losing.

877
00:45:13,199 --> 00:45:15,599
We're going to see a different brand of broadcasting with

878
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,960
NBC and Amazon. But the TNT brand was excellent for

879
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,519
thirty six years. I guess to me, it's kind of

880
00:45:22,559 --> 00:45:25,800
always been there, so it's not as special. I'm just like,

881
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,199
all right, well we're bringing back John Tesh and NBC,

882
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,119
so Amazon and yeah. I brought this up on Twitter.

883
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:33,960
I think that the coverage next year is going to

884
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,920
be fantastic. I think ANBC did a great job. Peacock's

885
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,639
is gonna did a great job. Amazon. Amazon's NFL coverage

886
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,400
is awesome. I mean, these networks they're going to are

887
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,000
not startups. You're putting Mike Turko on the main game.

888
00:45:47,599 --> 00:45:51,559
You're gonna yeah, oh yeah, you're good. You're putting You're

889
00:45:51,559 --> 00:45:55,000
putting the lineups back on when the team's going, when

890
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,440
the games are on NBC, they're going to carry those

891
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,599
starting lineups from the P and M. So you want

892
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:02,519
to go back and do PA now, don't you know chance.

893
00:46:02,679 --> 00:46:04,400
I'm very happy doing what I'm doing. I don't want

894
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,360
to move. I'm very happy. But you're gonna get more

895
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,280
games again. I don't know if people are not necessarily here,

896
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,039
but if you're an NBA junkie, you're gonna get more

897
00:46:12,039 --> 00:46:14,039
games than you ever have done before. You're gonna have

898
00:46:14,079 --> 00:46:16,639
You're gonna have NBA games on about six days a week.

899
00:46:16,679 --> 00:46:19,719
I love it so for you and I who are junkies,

900
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,280
it's great. To the casual fan, it's when the one

901
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,360
of the Rockets playing and I'm done. But I just

902
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,880
thought it was it was a lot about if there

903
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,599
was any moment that should have been the moment, it

904
00:46:29,599 --> 00:46:31,800
should have been Ernie, who has been a Turner employee

905
00:46:32,119 --> 00:46:35,760
all the way through and remains a Turner employee. Not

906
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,519
that these four guys won't see each other again. You're

907
00:46:39,519 --> 00:46:44,239
gonna be right back on our television. My guess. It

908
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,119
just felt like to me it was oversaturation of that

909
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:51,199
portion of the broadcast. So again this maybe I'm just

910
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:52,559
in the weeds on this, but I can see no,

911
00:46:52,559 --> 00:46:54,760
I can see how it ring hollow if they're just

912
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,599
they're not going away. They weren't going away. We just

913
00:46:58,079 --> 00:47:00,480
way back press a different channel number, or just open

914
00:47:00,519 --> 00:47:01,920
a different app however you want to. We're gonna go.

915
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,119
We're gonna go to a channel that we're more familiar with. Yes,

916
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,480
I mean, I know two forty five S and T

917
00:47:06,639 --> 00:47:08,760
I know two o six. You know. The crazy thing

918
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,119
about this, I don't know if people know this or not,

919
00:47:10,599 --> 00:47:13,440
but next year, this upcoming season, you're gonna see Big

920
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:19,360
twelve football and basketball games on tn t Okay, that

921
00:47:19,559 --> 00:47:23,760
was a trade off coming up next it's bones followed

922
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:28,760
by Houston versus West Virginia exactly. Isn't that weird that

923
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,159
they that the TNT is like, all right, we'll help

924
00:47:32,199 --> 00:47:35,239
you do this and we'll produce everything. But we need

925
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,840
something back from you. We need some games. So they're

926
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,320
gonna get some games. Oh good for them, now, Grant,

927
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:41,639
I don't know how good the games are gonna be.

928
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:46,519
It might be Utah versus Arizona. I don't know, but

929
00:47:46,559 --> 00:47:49,079
I can tell you from a basketball stampole it will

930
00:47:49,079 --> 00:47:50,440
be great because they'll be you know, you'll have a

931
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,199
T and T. I'm sure they're gonna do a big

932
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,719
job of selling the college basketball package because they people

933
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,239
are gonna go. They're gonna just gonna be on their

934
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,960
studio show. I don't know, but I think I think

935
00:47:59,159 --> 00:48:01,440
grand Hill's gonna be part the broadcast. So I'm just saying,

936
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,159
I just it was just weird that you would sell

937
00:48:03,199 --> 00:48:07,440
a show for a set of games. It's like I

938
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,760
think Al Michael's going to NBC involved a cartoon going

939
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,840
back to ABC Flintstones. I don't know what it was,

940
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,400
but you go Google look it up. There's some strange

941
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,880
transactions on that that just I just think TV sports

942
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,280
business is kind of fascinating to me. That's all I

943
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,039
got on it. Thank you, Matt, thank you, you appreciate it. Yeah,

944
00:48:26,519 --> 00:48:28,599
but yeah, for somebody I watched for thirty six, I

945
00:48:28,599 --> 00:48:30,320
mean I watched. I was in the seventh eighth grade,

946
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,079
so I know I watched every bit of the TNT

947
00:48:32,199 --> 00:48:36,039
that I could. All Right, Astro's gonna win yesterday, Hunter Brown,

948
00:48:37,639 --> 00:48:42,400
Cy Brown, Cy Valdez. Do you understand you know who

949
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,639
did the tenth Inning show on Friday night? Oh, so

950
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,320
you appreciated it. Two hours and six minutes, I heard

951
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:49,880
a lot of people were clamoring for me to host

952
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,719
that show. Yeah, you know, we had two people that

953
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,840
said they missed you. That's great. I appreciate that. And

954
00:48:56,039 --> 00:48:59,599
I quickly said that you were suspended without pay and

955
00:48:59,639 --> 00:49:01,039
that you well hopefully get back to work with a

956
00:49:01,039 --> 00:49:03,360
better attitude. I guess technically I was suspended without pay

957
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,039
because I wasn't on the clock. No, you got paid, Okay,

958
00:49:06,039 --> 00:49:08,679
I think you got paid right, all right, but yeah,

959
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,760
it was a good win quick the night before they

960
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,320
get their ass kicked, the night after they get their

961
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,119
ass kicked. It's it just shows you how crazy baseball is. Bizarre.

962
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,239
I what was it, thirty to nine they got outscored

963
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,360
or something like that in the series. Yeah, I'll go

964
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,840
back and look. Bullpen, e Ra David and A Leaf

965
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,360
was one of our Twitter five. I said, you guys

966
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,519
don't want to calculate it. Well, you calculated it not

967
00:49:32,639 --> 00:49:35,360
looking good. Well, it's funny because you take those two games,

968
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,719
and all of a sudden, that filthy era the Astros

969
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,159
Bullpen had got heavily inflated. Yeah, that's that's why I,

970
00:49:42,519 --> 00:49:45,800
especially for relievers, era can be a little wonky. Well, yeah,

971
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,519
because again you're you could pitch six good innings of

972
00:49:48,559 --> 00:49:50,360
one one inning and give up four and one, and

973
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,920
all of a sudden you have an era of you know,

974
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,920
five and a half. Yeah, you did your job seventy

975
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,519
five percent times as a reliever. By the way, Josh

976
00:49:56,599 --> 00:49:59,480
Hayter continues to be filthy. How many all stars going

977
00:49:59,559 --> 00:50:02,960
right now? Hater for sure, Jake Myers, Hunter Brown for sure.

978
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,159
Jeremy Penia. Jeremy Penia is probably the mix now. By

979
00:50:07,199 --> 00:50:08,719
the way, a lot of people are clamboring for Jimmie,

980
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,039
for the Astros to put a deal on for Jeremy Penia.

981
00:50:11,639 --> 00:50:14,159
I think that the ship has sailed. I think so,

982
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,679
I unless the deal is really really rewarding. Let me

983
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,320
check the old reference page too. He was a representation

984
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,239
is well, go look at his arbitration years. Yeah, I

985
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,000
don't know if he's there at this point, but uh

986
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,920
if if he's not, they better start talking about it immediately,

987
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,079
because you know what, he has solved the Astros leadoff problems.

988
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,119
His agent isn't listed normally they do it. I believe

989
00:50:39,159 --> 00:50:42,199
it's I believe it's Thomas Sports Enterprise. Yeah, you'd like

990
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,039
to get I'd like to change absolutely seven one three

991
00:50:46,079 --> 00:50:48,480
two one two five seven outy seven one three two

992
00:50:48,519 --> 00:50:51,840
one two five seven ninety Is the Astros do their thing?

993
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,039
Split the series of the Rays or a half game

994
00:50:54,119 --> 00:50:57,239
back of Seattle. The Astros have the day off. I

995
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,320
believe the Mariners do as well. Let me check real

996
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,679
quick for you. Oh come on, you're scoreboard watching on

997
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,280
June second. Oh you're kidding me. You're sick. I have

998
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:09,480
an illness, I really really know. Uh. Yeah, the Mariners

999
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:13,039
do not play tonight, but they will begin Oh no,

1000
00:51:13,159 --> 00:51:17,480
never mind. Oh they're home for Baltimore starting Tuesday. Baltimore sucks.

1001
00:51:17,559 --> 00:51:23,199
Baltimore sucks. Would you go oh for I misread Mariners

1002
00:51:23,199 --> 00:51:26,119
and Marlins because Marlins are playing the Rockies. I was like, oh,

1003
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,440
some easy wins for them? Is that a Roku Game

1004
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,199
of the Week Marlin's Rockies. I don't think anybody's gotta

1005
00:51:32,199 --> 00:51:36,039
watch that Marlin's Rockies happens. I mean, I mean nobody cares.

1006
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:37,159
Did it really ever happen?

1007
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 7: Mat?

1008
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you even put the pronouncers on? Do you

1009
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:39,880
even pay them?

1010
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 2: Now?

1011
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,519
Speaker 1: They're talking to themselves. She's running a crowd, Mike. That's

1012
00:51:43,679 --> 00:51:46,719
very good ambient noise the whole time, seven one three,

1013
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,599
two one two five seven night. If you want to

1014
00:51:48,639 --> 00:51:50,360
join our show, we're an open line here on this Monday,

1015
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,719
giving us a chance to recap all that was. And

1016
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,400
by the way, are we worried at all about the

1017
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,719
television ratings? And we're worried about people not caring about

1018
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,480
those NBA finals because it is two of the three

1019
00:51:59,519 --> 00:52:01,840
small marks team, two of the smallest in the league.

1020
00:52:02,599 --> 00:52:04,440
You know who's not worried about it? The NBA. They

1021
00:52:04,519 --> 00:52:08,360
got a fresh tenure, ridiculously large financial contract coming from

1022
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,960
two new networks. By the way, Okay, now, of course

1023
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,199
there's only twenty eight markets because there's two LA teams too,

1024
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:17,239
New Yorker rights. The Oklahoma City is twenty six out

1025
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,800
of twenty eight, twenty second out of twenty eight for Indiana,

1026
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:26,000
who is the two smallest Sacramento in Memphis and New Orleans.

1027
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,360
That's why Las Vegas is needed. It's it's fine. Look

1028
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,599
if everybody's if the ratings are low, who cares. It's

1029
00:52:32,639 --> 00:52:34,880
gonna be great basketball. I'm gonna be watching. Problem is

1030
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,719
I got news for you? Well, we'll say it. Oh

1031
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,199

ninety ros Viry out back with you. We got to

1034
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,920
tell the truth. Coming up in the next segment, Matt

1035
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:58,239
Thomas will give us four opinions. He believes three of them.

1036
00:52:58,639 --> 00:53:02,119
Writing down Jonathan he belie leaves three of them one

1037
00:53:02,159 --> 00:53:05,199
he does not believe. That should be fun coming up

1038
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,360
at eleven thirty. Phone lines open right now if you

1039
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,480
want to get in. We've been talking about the Astros,

1040
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,320
the series split where they got two blowouts, two one

1041
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,599
run victories against the Tampa Bay Rays, anything else you

1042
00:53:18,599 --> 00:53:21,400
want to get to. The yord on hand saga certainly

1043
00:53:21,599 --> 00:53:26,599
is a complicated issue, and I don't know a lot

1044
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,920
a lot of meat on the bone to argue and

1045
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:30,719
discuss when it comes to the yord on hand thing

1046
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,079
as well, seven one three two one two five seven

1047
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,039
ninety is the phone number if you'd like to get

1048
00:53:36,039 --> 00:53:39,800
in seven to one three two one two five seven ninety.

1049
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,400
So you missed the fun on Thursday and Friday during

1050
00:53:42,519 --> 00:53:46,519
Texans OTA's what was what scene? Friday? Oh yeah, I

1051
00:53:46,599 --> 00:53:51,079
hadn't talked? Is everything? What's happening? What's happening to my

1052
00:53:51,199 --> 00:53:57,599
sweet boy? C? J? Stroud? Is he okay? Almost texts Yeah,

1053
00:53:57,639 --> 00:54:00,639
So Wednesday he didn't partake and you were here for

1054
00:54:00,679 --> 00:54:03,760
that short show. It didn't he didn't. They didn't make

1055
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,440
the media available on Thursday. If my concern level was small,

1056
00:54:06,519 --> 00:54:10,800
those zero basically right now, it's so so Thursday, they

1057
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,119
don't that the media see it. Friday he goes back.

1058
00:54:13,199 --> 00:54:16,239
Now Wednesday, Damiko Ryan says he's on a throwing schedule.

1059
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,920
It's a throwing program, meaning maybe Monday, Wednesday, Friday, you

1060
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:26,800
throw Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, rest okay whatever. Didn't really super

1061
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,800
by it, like I'm not buying a lot of things.

1062
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,000
When it comes to teams in their injury situation, that's

1063
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,039
just gonna say they have the same doctors as the astros.

1064
00:54:33,559 --> 00:54:37,280
So he doesn't throw again on Friday. Does the handoffs

1065
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:44,360
this okay, and Nick Kayley, the offensive coordinator, says, hey,

1066
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:49,119
I'm not concerned at all. Why does that make me

1067
00:54:49,159 --> 00:54:53,119
feel worse? So he's not concerned. So there are dumb

1068
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,480
ass non media members that go to Texans that practices

1069
00:54:56,519 --> 00:54:59,639
that should not be credential because they're not a media member. Okay,

1070
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:01,239
don't know why they get him. So I make if

1071
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,039
you guys want to go to Texans practice, just send

1072
00:55:03,079 --> 00:55:04,639
an email of the textants. They'll let you in and

1073
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,360
call you media because they let someones talk dot just

1074
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,079
make up a website. But you should be good. You

1075
00:55:09,079 --> 00:55:11,039
should be good. That's not the point of the conversation.

1076
00:55:11,559 --> 00:55:15,360
Point ever, is it? Never is? So Anon was like,

1077
00:55:15,599 --> 00:55:18,079
it's a nut story, don't bring it up. It's free.

1078
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,559
First of all, when you're starting quarterback, doesn't throw during

1079
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:26,000
organized team activities because maybe he doesn't feel great, something

1080
00:55:26,039 --> 00:55:28,559
got cleaned out, maybe doesn't fill one hundred percent. Say

1081
00:55:28,599 --> 00:55:32,239
it and you're done. Yes, very easy, it's very very

1082
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,599
easy to quell fears. Just come out and say something

1083
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:39,000
because guess what, thirty one other teams had OTA's and

1084
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:44,840
their quarterbacks. Yeah, so throwing schedules kind of cool, But

1085
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,960
it wasn't necessarily the truth. Thank god Aaron Wilson came

1086
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,320
to the rescue. What did Aaron Wilson say? Aaron Wilson

1087
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,559
said he was not throwing because of tight shoulder muscle,

1088
00:55:55,199 --> 00:55:59,920
not considered serious, no concerns whatsoever, and could return to

1089
00:56:00,039 --> 00:56:04,880
activity as soon as next week. I by that because

1090
00:56:05,159 --> 00:56:06,599
this weekend, did you see CJ.

1091
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:07,159
Speaker 2: Stroud?

1092
00:56:07,679 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: No, he was he over it to the Fertita Center

1093
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,519
shooting baskets. That's different. Now, if you'd have told me

1094
00:56:13,559 --> 00:56:16,079
he was throwing VP to ord On Alvarez, it might

1095
00:56:16,119 --> 00:56:19,559
have been a little a little better. So let me

1096
00:56:19,639 --> 00:56:28,400
tell you, fake media, go ahead and some blinders on

1097
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,400
Texans fans. When your quarterback doesn't throw, it's a story.

1098
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,800
It's a story. I'm sorry you don't think it is.

1099
00:56:35,199 --> 00:56:38,440
But you can say on your podcast it's not a story.

1100
00:56:38,559 --> 00:56:41,960
I can say on my radio show it's a small story.

1101
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,000
And guess what when Aaron Wilson came out and said

1102
00:56:45,079 --> 00:56:47,199
he found out it's because he's got some right, it's

1103
00:56:47,199 --> 00:56:53,320
got some soreness, right, muscle soreness. That's okay. I'm living

1104
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,079
with that. When I saw that, I didn't go ahh,

1105
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,280
I went shoot because guess what do you know what

1106
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,440
CJ's throw a Stroud does for most of his season,

1107
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,559
he uses right shoulder and he throws the ball a

1108
00:57:05,599 --> 00:57:11,079
lot practices, scrimmages and in games. And my guess is

1109
00:57:11,119 --> 00:57:14,000
the human body says we need rest, and the right

1110
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:18,079
shoulder said, you're a little tight. Fine relix. So I'm

1111
00:57:18,079 --> 00:57:21,559
telling you, you're telling me to you battle at Ross. Yes,

1112
00:57:22,239 --> 00:57:25,280
need not worry, all right, but you don't. But you

1113
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,639
don't believe me, doctor Thomas. I'm a little bit worried,

1114
00:57:28,239 --> 00:57:28,840
just a little bit.

1115
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:29,039
Speaker 11: Now.

1116
00:57:29,039 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: I'll say this shoulders can be bad if he doesn't

1117
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,840
throw during MENI camp, which is next month. Then you

1118
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,599
saw the alarms and even the fake ass meat. He

1119
00:57:39,679 --> 00:57:46,559
can't get mad about that. Okay, So but to tell

1120
00:57:46,599 --> 00:57:52,199
me it was a throwing program and it wasn't his day, Yeah,

1121
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:53,920
I would you know what I would have done Ross

1122
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:55,360
when when that came out out and said, you know,

1123
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,440
let's have a throwing program where you actually throw so

1124
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,599
people don't smell the scent of you not being on

1125
00:57:59,679 --> 00:58:02,519
here percent. Okay, maybe be okay, maybe I'm more worried

1126
00:58:02,519 --> 00:58:04,639
about I think if Pitcher's shoulder injuries can be really

1127
00:58:04,639 --> 00:58:06,840
bad like laboral tears and stuff like that can be

1128
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,960
But even Rossi if he got things cleaned out. Let's

1129
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,760
say that he got scoped in the office. So I'd

1130
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,320
be okay with that because that's very typical for NFL

1131
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,280
quarterbacks to happen. That was not one hundred percent in

1132
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,840
the off season. Yeah, I mean during the regular season

1133
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,000
and playoffs last year. You could just tell the way

1134
00:58:22,039 --> 00:58:23,559
he was moving and throwing. You just didn't look on

1135
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:27,719
dred percent. Yeah. So uh, to me, you took something

1136
00:58:27,719 --> 00:58:31,159
you could have just said as a declarative statement, and

1137
00:58:31,199 --> 00:58:32,880
you made it more than it should. See. That's why

1138
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,360
I kind of that's as we we said earlier the

1139
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,599
last hour with this astro stuff, that's just the I

1140
00:58:37,719 --> 00:58:41,360
just don't get it. Hey, what Aaron Wilson reported, Why

1141
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,199
couldn't Demiico Ryans or somebody say, yeah, he's got some

1142
00:58:44,239 --> 00:58:48,039
muscle soreness, should be fine. We're not concerned. Bing bang boom,

1143
00:58:48,119 --> 00:58:50,119
we're done, we're out of here. We can all move

1144
00:58:50,159 --> 00:58:52,239
on with their lives. Because a problem with that would

1145
00:58:52,239 --> 00:58:54,519
have been they would have been twenty follow up questions.

1146
00:58:54,559 --> 00:58:56,719
There would have been Okay, that's fine. That comes to

1147
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,800
Terry quarterback. Yeah, you make it a story for you

1148
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,719
make a one day story a five day story because

1149
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,760
you don't say anything. And this Jordon thing, oh well,

1150
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,800
we're gonna evaluate him in two weeks, not this every

1151
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,960
day he's on a tee, he's on a cage, he's

1152
00:59:11,039 --> 00:59:15,559
doing coaches pitch like what okay, he's at the Pony

1153
00:59:15,639 --> 00:59:19,199
League in al deed, Like what just tell us or

1154
00:59:19,199 --> 00:59:21,519
give us a little bit of something. And then what

1155
00:59:21,559 --> 00:59:23,920
you're doing is you're making it less of a story.

1156
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,480
It goes away, especially in twenty twenty five. We'll move

1157
00:59:27,519 --> 00:59:31,199
on to the next thing in thirty minutes. When you

1158
00:59:31,199 --> 00:59:33,320
don't tell us anything and it leaves us to worry,

1159
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:37,719
we keep bringing it up. I'm trying to think of

1160
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:42,800
an analogy. Oh oh, It's like if you were caught

1161
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,480
as a kid doing something, Yes, if you tell mom

1162
00:59:45,519 --> 00:59:48,840
you did it, yes, take you mad at you for

1163
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,239
thirty minutes. But if you don't tell her for weeks

1164
00:59:51,239 --> 00:59:53,280
that you did something, then she gets more mad because

1165
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:58,400
you're trying to hide it. That's not the worst one.

1166
00:59:58,599 --> 01:00:00,440
It's like when I stole her quarters to go play

1167
01:00:00,519 --> 01:00:02,360
video games, I should have told her immediately. I did it.

1168
01:00:03,599 --> 01:00:05,400
I used to fish out every quarter I could find

1169
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,400
in the house as compared to she caught me a

1170
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,239
red handed play on the video game to go get

1171
01:00:09,239 --> 01:00:12,199
double cheeseburgers from Burger Ring. By the way, I guess

1172
01:00:12,239 --> 01:00:14,440
what I did yesterday? You went to burger Ring. No,

1173
01:00:14,679 --> 01:00:17,679
I went to Rick Ronalds. Okay, Rick Ronalds. I have

1174
01:00:17,719 --> 01:00:24,719
a change dish. Yes, So I went to the Oh no,

1175
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:29,320
the coin thing, Oh, coinstar. Yeah, okay, you know what

1176
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,519
they're charging you now? Oh, they take a chunk you

1177
01:00:31,519 --> 01:00:33,840
know you better? You better pull up about one hundred bucks.

1178
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:34,960
Do you know what it is? I don't know what

1179
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,840
it is. Four point nine cents per dollar. Ooh, thirteen percent.

1180
01:00:39,079 --> 01:00:41,039
It's pretty pricey. No, you just roll that up and

1181
01:00:41,039 --> 01:00:43,119
take it to the bank. Maddy, put one of your

1182
01:00:43,199 --> 01:00:46,119
kids on it. Not on Sundays. Oh, that's true. So

1183
01:00:46,159 --> 01:00:48,599
I could wait till Monday. So I did that. Broke,

1184
01:00:48,719 --> 01:00:51,599
So I did the So I took the coin dish

1185
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,840
to the coin drop. Oh okay, and I had almost

1186
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,559
twenty dollars in change. Just came back at seventeen dollars.

1187
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,519
Oh my god. Took that seventeen dollars in cash Ronald's

1188
01:01:00,559 --> 01:01:02,920
got the two devil cheeseburger in the basket of all

1189
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:07,119
it was nice. Nine dollars huh to Te's fourteen dollars

1190
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,960
total cash meal. That's kind of proud of myself. I'm

1191
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:12,559
proud of you, Matt. But I was like, man, I

1192
01:01:12,559 --> 01:01:15,360
gotta buy me one of them. Coinstar drifted thirteen cents

1193
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:17,480
on the dollar. I used to have a little when

1194
01:01:17,519 --> 01:01:18,920
I was like a kid. You coin bank and you

1195
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:20,559
put the coin in there and it sorts it for

1196
01:01:20,599 --> 01:01:22,920
you and you can roll it up. That's actually not bad.

1197
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,480
I bring one of those you get fair market. Yeah, bank,

1198
01:01:26,599 --> 01:01:28,440
they'll do it for you. But yeah, but I was

1199
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,559
no banks warping on Sunday, So no, that's all I got.

1200
01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:34,159
He couldn't use a card, so point bing is I

1201
01:01:34,159 --> 01:01:35,360
could have used the card, but I want to be

1202
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,199
a chief skip, so I was a cheap skin on Sunday.

1203
01:01:37,519 --> 01:01:40,920
Point being, is that CJ shooting? I mean, if there

1204
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,119
was something really really wrong, he wouldn't be shooting baskets. Okay,

1205
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,159
that's my philosophy. I like it, So I am. I'm concerned.

1206
01:01:47,239 --> 01:01:50,280
I'm frankly calmer today than I was when he didn't

1207
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,719
practice on Friday, I got Astro's medical team PTSD because

1208
01:01:53,719 --> 01:01:55,760
they tell me he's finey always, he's shooting baskets. Oh,

1209
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:59,159
he's hitting in the cage. He's cool. Okay, ex So

1210
01:01:59,239 --> 01:02:04,039
you know your six months trainers are doing this. Why

1211
01:02:04,079 --> 01:02:07,079
do these trainers have these mystical power over the Houston

1212
01:02:07,119 --> 01:02:09,880
sports landscape? I wish it didn't. I wish it weren't

1213
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,480
like this, all right, to tell the truth is up next.

1214
01:02:12,519 --> 01:02:14,840
There are three things I believe. There is one thing

1215
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,679
I do not believe. For you to figure it out

1216
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:40,280
next here on Sports Talk seven ninety. By the way,

1217
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,559
some of you are very funny. You are saving me

1218
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:51,599
gifts of looking for change. I mean, it's true. Shout

1219
01:02:51,599 --> 01:02:54,760
out at this guy six nine three one. Shout out

1220
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,280
to stros relegation else is in there? Something to him? Here?

1221
01:02:59,079 --> 01:03:04,000
Rass You've won me in there too. It's got the

1222
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,719
big one. Why why did the water jug become the

1223
01:03:06,719 --> 01:03:12,039
receptacle for coins like universally? I don't know, but mine

1224
01:03:12,079 --> 01:03:13,639
was I just have. I just have. I just had

1225
01:03:13,639 --> 01:03:18,679
a dish like any like relative, grandma whoever's house. I

1226
01:03:18,679 --> 01:03:24,480
would walk into it exactly like the big sparklets. Yeah, markets,

1227
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:29,440
the big markelets thing full of coins. Can I tell

1228
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:33,960
you that become the industry standard. So Kim wanted to

1229
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:35,679
cook a bunch of food that I don't like. They

1230
01:03:35,679 --> 01:03:37,119
want to have salmon last have for dinner and I

1231
01:03:37,159 --> 01:03:38,719
don't like salmon. I don't like salmon at all. What

1232
01:03:38,719 --> 01:03:40,920
if you make it on a cedar plank with some

1233
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,519
rosemary and time? No, So I was like, why don't

1234
01:03:44,519 --> 01:03:46,320
we just go to use my change because we're trying

1235
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:48,000
to I'm not trying to. We try to eat it

1236
01:03:48,039 --> 01:03:50,119
home on the weekend. So you convinced them to pivot

1237
01:03:50,119 --> 01:03:55,360
from salmon to McDonald with loose change. Correct, and it worked.

1238
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:01,679
Matt one, Matt one, Kim zero, Let's go open up

1239
01:04:01,719 --> 01:04:04,199
the coin purse. Let's go on in adventure and get

1240
01:04:04,239 --> 01:04:07,199
you a double cheeseburger. Double cheeseburgers, got rid of the catchment.

1241
01:04:07,239 --> 01:04:10,239
Muster added Max sauce delicious, and the basket of fries

1242
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,599
more fries you could possibly stand best nine dollars, it's

1243
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,840
pretty close. It's immense. Those By the way, those uh

1244
01:04:17,039 --> 01:04:21,039
make Crispy chips trip strips and I never had one yet.

1245
01:04:21,159 --> 01:04:25,559
They're all right. I was expecting that with me right

1246
01:04:25,679 --> 01:04:28,000
I was expecting better, right, I thought so too, and

1247
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,519
I was like, after the third one, I was yeah,

1248
01:04:30,599 --> 01:04:35,000
so's mid. Huh, Okay, here we go. Flour sports takes.

1249
01:04:35,679 --> 01:04:38,639
I only believed show you know three of these four,

1250
01:04:38,679 --> 01:04:43,039
I believe boys. Are you ready? Number one? Yes, if

1251
01:04:43,079 --> 01:04:45,800
Yannis does not come to Houston, not saying it's safe.

1252
01:04:46,599 --> 01:04:49,480
High percentage of low percentage, there's just no percentage at all.

1253
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,199
He's going on an Eastern Conference team, okay, for the

1254
01:04:54,199 --> 01:04:55,960
simple reason he thinks it's gonna be easier to win

1255
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,719
the East than anywhere else. Okay, but it might not

1256
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:00,920
be a better Eastern team, be like a mid team

1257
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,880
that he wants to make great. Okay, it's number one.

1258
01:05:05,159 --> 01:05:07,480
Number two. The only team the Astros will have to

1259
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,679
worry about this year in the American League West will

1260
01:05:09,679 --> 01:05:13,559
be the Seattle Mariners. It is. I'm declaring it right now,

1261
01:05:13,719 --> 01:05:17,559
June two, twenty twenty five, I am declaring the American

1262
01:05:17,639 --> 01:05:23,079
League West a two team race. Okay. Number three. The

1263
01:05:23,199 --> 01:05:25,280
NBA Finals start on Thursday, which is, by the way,

1264
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:29,320
my birthday, Happy birthday, thank you. The thunder are winning

1265
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:35,159
in five games. That's it. Five games, okay, I mean, okay,

1266
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:40,039
and number four. I have figured out a way to

1267
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:44,760
entice college football players who are draft eligible to stick

1268
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:51,440
around and play in the college football Playoff. You ready

1269
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:54,559
for this great idea of mine. Don't They already? Mostly,

1270
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,760
but some do. I'm just saying you want, you want

1271
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:01,519
full participation? Okay? Create a winner's pool for each playoff

1272
01:06:01,599 --> 01:06:07,679
victory they split among the teams. A private case is

1273
01:06:08,039 --> 01:06:11,000
sanctioning this pool. The na I don't know. They're not

1274
01:06:11,039 --> 01:06:16,280
touching that. When when did we let then stop? Yeah?

1275
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,519
Get a corporate sponsor to do it. So if you

1276
01:06:18,599 --> 01:06:22,039
win the first round game n I L D Corporate,

1277
01:06:22,119 --> 01:06:23,599
you win two million dollars to go to n L

1278
01:06:23,719 --> 01:06:25,719
brought to you by Rate Arm, and the team that

1279
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,239
wins gets to do commercials for money or I think

1280
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:29,519
I think you'll have to. I think you'll have one

1281
01:06:29,559 --> 01:06:32,400
hundred percent participation. It sounds like a lot of red tape.

1282
01:06:33,079 --> 01:06:36,400
Oh please, this college. It's not red tape at this

1283
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:40,159
point exactly. So here are my four takes again. If

1284
01:06:40,199 --> 01:06:43,320
Giannis doesn't come to Houston, he's headed east. The only

1285
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,440
team of the Astros well to compete with this year

1286
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:46,920
in the West will be the M's. I'm saying that

1287
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,599
on June second, the Thunder winning over Indiana in five

1288
01:06:49,679 --> 01:06:52,800
games and create a winner's pool for each playoff victory

1289
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:57,119
to keep players in the college football playoff three to four,

1290
01:06:57,159 --> 01:06:59,159
I believe one. I don't which one? Am I not

1291
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:04,000
telling you folks the truth? All right, Jonathan, you want

1292
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:08,360
to talk through this. I think I think he believes one. Yeah,

1293
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:12,639
because I don't see he said that before, at least

1294
01:07:12,639 --> 01:07:14,280
when I was half paying attention.

1295
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,199
Speaker 3: And after all that Twitter stuff he was demanded, didn't

1296
01:07:16,199 --> 01:07:19,639
seem like it was any Yeah, two and three to.

1297
01:07:19,639 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: Me, I could take it, relieve Matt. Matt might believe it,

1298
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:27,360
Matt might not. They seem both reasonable. And I don't

1299
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,199
want to say ice cold vanilla takes because that would

1300
01:07:29,199 --> 01:07:33,320
be rude. But ice cold vanette. What are we talking about?

1301
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,760
A frappaccino here or what? Yeah, that's your take, that's

1302
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,880
what cappuccino or tasty people love frappuccinos. That's what I

1303
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:43,840
would compare your takes to an oat milk shaken frappuccino.

1304
01:07:44,119 --> 01:07:45,559
And you know what you get that for eight dollars

1305
01:07:45,559 --> 01:07:50,159
at raw Rocks. Yeah, heavy profit. It's a very or

1306
01:07:50,239 --> 01:07:53,239
a frat pacino, a raw rocks heavy profit. Yeah, a

1307
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:58,159
black coffee minimal, and then you could fund your son's

1308
01:07:58,199 --> 01:08:03,159
crappy careers and NFL insider. But anyways, winners pull for

1309
01:08:03,159 --> 01:08:06,239
college football. I mean that seems ridiculous and a lot

1310
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,039
of red tape. I'm just gonna go with that.

1311
01:08:11,239 --> 01:08:13,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna go for four as well. I don't

1312
01:08:13,159 --> 01:08:15,079
think he believes the college pool.

1313
01:08:17,279 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 1: How work? Okay, how's the game work? You picking? Then

1314
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,720
he tells him for right, No, he's saying, how's it work?

1315
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:25,319
You win the game, you get that, you get the money,

1316
01:08:25,319 --> 01:08:28,199
and you split up among the active players. Oh okay,

1317
01:08:29,119 --> 01:08:31,039
So think about this. If it's you're making you're making

1318
01:08:31,039 --> 01:08:32,760
two million dollars of the first game, Let's say you

1319
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:34,239
make three and a half for the semi finals and

1320
01:08:34,239 --> 01:08:35,800
you make five million, you win that wind Or pool,

1321
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,920
you're talking about splitting eleven million dollars over sixty players.

1322
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,199
I'm confused. I don't think I'm confused. I think it's

1323
01:08:41,199 --> 01:08:45,479
pretty damn simple. That's why we picking this one, because

1324
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,399
it is what does it? I mean, I guess you

1325
01:08:48,399 --> 01:08:50,119
can believe it, but I don't think it's ever gonna

1326
01:08:50,119 --> 01:08:52,479
have I mean, it's just not price its member. Yeah right,

1327
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:54,560
I know. See that's true, Jonathan. You got to get

1328
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:57,520
in the mind of a madman. He definitely believes that

1329
01:08:57,560 --> 01:08:58,399
Houston's gonna.

1330
01:08:59,680 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 11: Well.

1331
01:09:00,119 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, the other ones are like vanilla frappuccinos.

1332
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,640
This one's sizzling. It's got hob narrow teacher in it.

1333
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,720
Your decision, now, I'll stick with four. Whatever. What do

1334
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,520
you say, Jonathan, I'm sticking with four, all right. If

1335
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,600
Giannis doesn't come to Houston, he's going east. I think

1336
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,359
he thinks the quickest path to getting to it. I

1337
01:09:16,399 --> 01:09:18,680
think he's he's living for a championship. And I think

1338
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:21,479
if you go to a West team, not name Houston,

1339
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,000
then you're gonna be thinking about Golden State. Maybe too

1340
01:09:25,039 --> 01:09:29,520
old Denver. You know, are you gonna be there him

1341
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,279
and Jokic on the same floor together, san Antonio, You're

1342
01:09:32,319 --> 01:09:34,239
still worried about whether or not Wemby can be a

1343
01:09:34,279 --> 01:09:37,199
guy that can play sixty games a year. I think

1344
01:09:37,199 --> 01:09:39,560
he's going east. I think he wants to go to

1345
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:41,199
You know, look, there's a lot of names of Toronto

1346
01:09:41,279 --> 01:09:42,960
being mixed in the mix there. So I get him

1347
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:44,800
out of here. Yep, the West is too tough. As

1348
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,520
it is number two. I do believe it is the

1349
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,560
Astros and M's for the American League West. I don't

1350
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,840
think the Rangers will provide a threat, or the Angels

1351
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,800
or the A's. And lastly, I do believe the thunder

1352
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,760
are gonna win five. Yeah. I had a real hard

1353
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:04,039
time coming up with so this was not my best

1354
01:10:04,239 --> 01:10:06,560
in the case when you go with three out of four, Yeah,

1355
01:10:07,039 --> 01:10:09,119
it's a difficult segment, man. You know, I like to

1356
01:10:09,119 --> 01:10:11,279
make fun of you, but I want to keep doing it.

1357
01:10:11,279 --> 01:10:13,359
But whatever, you're out of town, which is you know,

1358
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:17,680
half the year on Mondays, I, yeah, it's difficult when

1359
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,960
I have to do the second yeah. So yeah, you know.

1360
01:10:21,039 --> 01:10:23,319
The reason why I thought about this is because you

1361
01:10:23,359 --> 01:10:26,399
know Doug Gottlie because right, yes, I know, he's the

1362
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,840
loser Fox broadcaster we we employ on this network. Sadly,

1363
01:10:30,159 --> 01:10:33,199
he's also the coach at Wisconsin Green Bay. They win

1364
01:10:33,239 --> 01:10:36,079
a conference game like one, No, okay, they didn't win.

1365
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,760
He's trying to take his team to play in this

1366
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:42,880
TBT winner take All, a million dollar tournament. Okay. I

1367
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:44,560
don't know if he's successful in doing it, but he

1368
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,600
wants to take his team, the Amateurs the amateurs go

1369
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,680
in that tournament for a winner, take on off second.

1370
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:52,039
Maybe you could do that for college football to entice

1371
01:10:52,079 --> 01:10:56,520
players to stick around. Though, yeah, I thought they couldn't

1372
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,840
be active college players. He's trying to skirt those rules,

1373
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,279
trying to force his way in there. Usually those are

1374
01:11:02,319 --> 01:11:05,239
it's like former players of a scott squad, like you know,

1375
01:11:05,359 --> 01:11:08,680
it's the former Villanova wildcat guys who were uh, you know,

1376
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,880
taking a break from playing in Greece and heading over

1377
01:11:11,079 --> 01:11:12,520
what I thought. I thought, you know what, maybe we'll

1378
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:15,279
figure out a way to to entice him. I mean,

1379
01:11:15,319 --> 01:11:18,359
it could happen, but it's just now everything's complicated question

1380
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,800
and amateurism. The better answer would have been do you

1381
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,279
do this for bowl games? Problem is bowl games are

1382
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,560
financially in the hole. They're not going to add another

1383
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,680
half million dollars, And why are you gonna Why are

1384
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,439
you gonna split half million dollars among sixty players when

1385
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:33,560
you're gonna be a pro player two six months later

1386
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,239
making one hundred times at the mouth. Still that's in

1387
01:11:36,319 --> 01:11:38,920
another I just don't get it how they these all

1388
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:42,399
these bowl games still making money? They don't they known

1389
01:11:43,159 --> 01:11:45,199
of them? It's crazy. Yeah, I think they just make

1390
01:11:45,279 --> 01:11:47,720
rights fees. Yeah, all right, so that was tell the truth.

1391
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,680
Nice job by both of you. I didn't mincessarily give

1392
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:54,439
you a big challenge to congratulations Jonathan, Jonathan are very good.

1393
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:59,640
Oh wow, he got one. He said, layup, drill. It

1394
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:04,960
feels rude. Oh maybe maybe I'll put words that's an understatement. Understatement?

1395
01:12:05,119 --> 01:12:09,640
Whoa just terrible on your part? All right? Eleven forty

1396
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,760
four on Sports Talk Seveney the news that noon is

1397
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,439
coming up at twelve noon today? Ross what is today's edition?

1398
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:18,359
To believe it or not, I don't. All right, that's

1399
01:12:18,399 --> 01:12:19,880
what we can look forward to, look forward to talking

1400
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,319
with you. It's seven one three two one two five

1401
01:12:22,399 --> 01:12:23,239
seven ninety.

1402
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:28,039
Speaker 3: So.

1403
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:32,039
Speaker 1: Betting in sports is becoming more and more prevalent. In fact,

1404
01:12:32,119 --> 01:12:34,399
it probably takes over for more of the analysis of

1405
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,720
an event than the actual talking about the players, the strategy,

1406
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:39,439
the coaches, the types of plays will be drawn. It's

1407
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,039
just about what Vegas thinks, and you go off of

1408
01:12:41,079 --> 01:12:46,960
what Vegas thinks. And I don't know how Vegas does

1409
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,000
their thing. I'm always curious about it whenever I get it.

1410
01:12:49,039 --> 01:12:51,359
We've had handicappers on before, and I always like to

1411
01:12:51,399 --> 01:12:53,359
just get pick their brain about a variety of things.

1412
01:12:54,119 --> 01:12:57,760
This is one that it's hard for me to fathom.

1413
01:12:58,159 --> 01:13:00,399
You're trying to and I know that you know do this,

1414
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:02,439
but don't you want to always try to find money

1415
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:03,960
on both sides and get people of the bet on

1416
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:07,159
both sides of something in theory in theory, yes, okay,

1417
01:13:07,239 --> 01:13:09,079
So let me give you why you wouldn't do this.

1418
01:13:10,359 --> 01:13:13,560
The thunder Pacer series is coming up and it starts

1419
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:17,119
on Thursday. The series price, meaning you have to just

1420
01:13:17,319 --> 01:13:22,039
predict the winner of the series Oklahoma City is a

1421
01:13:22,039 --> 01:13:25,479
minus seven fifty. Yes. Again, to show you what you'd

1422
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,119
have to do, you'd have to bet seven hundred and

1423
01:13:27,119 --> 01:13:33,279
fifty dollars to win one hundred dollars. Okay, if you

1424
01:13:33,319 --> 01:13:35,680
think the Pacers are going to win, that's where you

1425
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,119
get the tremendous value. At plus five thirty, you bet

1426
01:13:38,159 --> 01:13:41,720
one hundred dollars, you'll get five thirty back. So, obviously,

1427
01:13:42,319 --> 01:13:47,640
doing a little bit of logical thinking, the thunder are heavy, heavy,

1428
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:53,000
heavy favorites. Yes, So ross you knowing this a little

1429
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,760
bit more than I do about Okay, if I'm rich

1430
01:13:59,039 --> 01:14:00,760
and I want to put some on an Oklahoma City

1431
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:04,359
founder because I really believe they're going to win. Am

1432
01:14:04,399 --> 01:14:06,720
I even wasting my time with minus seven fifty? Or

1433
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,079
do I want to go try to at least predict

1434
01:14:09,079 --> 01:14:10,600
how many games it would take an order for them

1435
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:14,439
to win to get some kind of value back. I mean,

1436
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:21,600
it just comes down to seven to one means they

1437
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:25,960
need to win it seven times out of eight? Is

1438
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:27,800
that right? One on one side, seven on the other

1439
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:30,399
added if that's eight right, so they play there? So

1440
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,520
seven to one is saying and they play the NBA

1441
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:36,000
Finals eight times in theory thunder or winning seven of them.

1442
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:40,920
If you think that value of what is that? That

1443
01:14:41,039 --> 01:14:43,439
is eighty seven and a half percent. If you think

1444
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,680
they win ninety percent of the time, there's value for you.

1445
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:49,600
If you think they win ninety five percent of the time,

1446
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:51,239
if you think they win one hundred percent of the time,

1447
01:14:51,279 --> 01:14:54,640
there's value for you. So that's that's where you find

1448
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,840
the value. So if I went and put ten thousand

1449
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:03,520
dollars yes on Unclehomas to win, I'm only getting back

1450
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:10,159
what seven hundred and fifty dollars or seven five hundred?

1451
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:14,399
No about ten seven one seven fifty. I don't think

1452
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,840
that math works out. What's uh minus. Oh gosh, now

1453
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:20,520
you're if you put seventy five hundred dollars, how about this,

1454
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:26,000
we'll do you get a thousand dollars? Yes, I could

1455
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:27,720
probably put that in the stock and earn a little

1456
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:31,359
bit faster. When you think I am well, people think

1457
01:15:31,359 --> 01:15:34,439
that some people do this basically money laundering, Like oh

1458
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:37,960
I won this gambling, now go over the cart, tail

1459
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,880
head over the windows and the Pacers won it. Can

1460
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:41,560
they pay? Of course they can. I mean the injuries

1461
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,039
can shake Gilless. Alexander turns his ankle in game one,

1462
01:15:44,159 --> 01:15:49,359
it's all over right, right, right right? And Indianapolis, I mean, look,

1463
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,279
the Celtics were heavy favorites to win the East, Cleveland

1464
01:15:52,319 --> 01:15:53,920
was a heavy favorite to win the East, and neither

1465
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:56,600
one of those teams even made of what the conference final. Yeah,

1466
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,359
so they're paying out seven to Basically you have to

1467
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:03,039
lay seven to one. They're paying out under five to one.

1468
01:16:05,359 --> 01:16:10,000
So they are getting money on both sides. That makes sense.

1469
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,319
They're not getting giving they're not paying out true value

1470
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,399
and they're making you pay a premium. They are, So

1471
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,199
that's telling how they make money. I really really, as

1472
01:16:18,199 --> 01:16:19,560
you heard what to tell the truth of minute ago

1473
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:21,600
I really believe Oklahoma City is gonna win this thing.

1474
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:27,039
But everybody says healthy I while I respect the hell

1475
01:16:27,079 --> 01:16:30,479
in Indiana, I they're just Oklahoma City is too deep,

1476
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,960
too talented, shake gildess. Alexander is going to go off

1477
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,800
and it's gonna be like I said, five games. I agree.

1478
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,600
So to me, there'd be absolutely no value in me

1479
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:45,399
putting any money down, even if I'm very very The

1480
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,840
delight of winning pennies on the dollar is compared to

1481
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:51,800
the harsh loss that I would be taking wouldn't be

1482
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:56,000
worth the bet itself. It's just do you think, actually,

1483
01:16:56,039 --> 01:16:57,439
it looks like the odds have come back for the

1484
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:01,239
Pacers a little bit what I'm seeing, So do you

1485
01:17:01,319 --> 01:17:03,000
think they have more than an eighty seven and a

1486
01:17:03,039 --> 01:17:05,199
half percent chance to win the series? If you think,

1487
01:17:05,239 --> 01:17:08,439
the answer is yes, you bet. That's basically how I'd say,

1488
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:12,359
how you do futures? Well, in my mind right now,

1489
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,399
I would say closer than ninety nine percent, Yeah, run

1490
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,840
your algorithms, but I mean, yeah, if it's ninety nine percent,

1491
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:21,159
then yeah, lay seven hundred bucks, you one hundred. The

1492
01:17:21,239 --> 01:17:24,520
value is there. It just doesn't feel like there's value.

1493
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:26,640
That's only thing I'm saying it's a three hundred dollars

1494
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:28,880
if it's if they're going to win. Yeah, it's true.

1495
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:31,840
And by the way, the referee center bit is very funny.

1496
01:17:33,079 --> 01:17:35,079
Every time I see somebody say, oh, the referee centers

1497
01:17:35,079 --> 01:17:37,199
are out, I said, then bet your whole life savings

1498
01:17:37,319 --> 01:17:40,000
on the other team. Yeah, it's very simple. Now, I'm well,

1499
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,119
I didn't do that last time because Scott Foster did

1500
01:17:42,319 --> 01:17:44,199
do it and then New York won the game. So

1501
01:17:45,319 --> 01:17:48,720
but it was I wasn't it was a comfortable win, right, Well, yeah,

1502
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:50,359
I think it was last that. It wasn't like Scott

1503
01:17:50,359 --> 01:17:53,319
Foster's taking this game over correct correct correctly. So I

1504
01:17:53,359 --> 01:17:54,960
don't know. I just I just find little things in

1505
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,720
sports going, Hey, that feels like something I wouldn't Now,

1506
01:17:59,039 --> 01:18:01,199
if I believe the Ne're going to win, then I

1507
01:18:01,239 --> 01:18:03,000
want to put I'm gonna I'm gonna spend my money

1508
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,039
like that. I'm gonna spend seven und fifty hours. I

1509
01:18:05,079 --> 01:18:06,760
want to try to predict how many games are gonna

1510
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:08,720
do it in That's where I could see you getting

1511
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:12,520
a little bit of money. Correct. Yeah, that's true, but

1512
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,000
it can be difficult, I guess. I mean they're gonna

1513
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:17,560
take your money no matter what. So you on the

1514
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:19,600
flip side, let's say, would you say the paces were

1515
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:23,319
five to one basically? Yeah? So that that means if

1516
01:18:23,359 --> 01:18:28,479
you think they can win one out of six, no,

1517
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:32,520
no watches both be wrong. Could That's why you know

1518
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:34,560
I'm wrong all the time. That's why sports spending just

1519
01:18:35,199 --> 01:18:37,119
that's my jam. We were wrong at the old RAF

1520
01:18:37,239 --> 01:18:40,119
Rings sports book a couple of weeks ago. You're definitely wrong,

1521
01:18:41,239 --> 01:18:44,800
thanks very much. Hunter Brown. Not blaming you at all?

1522
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:50,479
Or am I a band box field? Humidity, warm, wint

1523
01:18:52,199 --> 01:18:57,159
right left to right, Canni Corn, home runs, brutal, all right,

1524
01:18:57,279 --> 01:19:01,319
the Astros get a gem speaking a Hunter Brown? Nice

1525
01:19:01,359 --> 01:19:05,079
bounce back? Cy Brown? How about that seven and three? Nay?

1526
01:19:05,239 --> 01:19:06,800
I had to remember I had a gut feeling in

1527
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,079
the middle of last year that he was gonna throw

1528
01:19:09,359 --> 01:19:11,920
a no hitter by the end of this year. You're

1529
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,000
still hold on to that, aren't you. I don't think.

1530
01:19:14,199 --> 01:19:16,800
I mean, it's very difficult. It was very bold by me,

1531
01:19:17,079 --> 01:19:19,319
but he was what was it through five? How many?

1532
01:19:19,359 --> 01:19:22,520
How many? Yeah, were getting there, But the problem was

1533
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,199
his pitch count was elevated. That's okay, Yeah, he's struggling

1534
01:19:25,199 --> 01:19:27,399
with command, and he was still throwing five no hit innings.

1535
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:29,640
He's gonna put it together, man, He's gonna get close.

1536
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:31,800
Let's go all right. Maybe I'll re up on that

1537
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,399
gut feeling tomorrow. The News at Noon is up next.

01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:42,920
things considered is a win because they got beaten badly twice.

1561

over the weekend. Aaron Wilson of a kPr C said, Yeah,

1567

01:21:27,039 --> 01:21:28,520
a minute. You just do what you need to do. Lauren,

1575
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,760
who shaty? What do you feel about these college baseball

1576
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:36,000
players with like four buttons undone that has a chess bras?

1577
01:21:36,159 --> 01:21:39,680
That's disgusting? You think that guy shaves his chest? Absolutely,

1578
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:42,359
that's unless he's just a he, unless he's got alopecia.

1579
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:46,960
If y'all shave your chest, let us know seven ninety Actually,

1580
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:48,920
if you shave your chest, please do not call the show.

1581
01:21:49,199 --> 01:21:51,680
We don't. I mean, we appreciate you listening, but I

1582
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:55,760
don't want to hear Matt talking about men's hair. All right, anyways,

1583
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,880
let who's at noon here on Sports Talk seven ninety

1584
01:21:59,159 --> 01:22:02,079
as you basically can we just replay everything Matt laid

1585
01:22:02,079 --> 01:22:03,680
out for the last minute and a half. That's pretty

1586
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:06,119
much where we are. Well, we will start with the

1587
01:22:06,159 --> 01:22:11,600
Astros a wild four games set over the weekend against

1588
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:15,000
the Rays. They lose thirteen to three in the opener,

1589
01:22:15,399 --> 01:22:19,119
win on a walk off two to one, lose sixteen

1590
01:22:19,199 --> 01:22:22,279
to three, and then yesterday this happened.

1591
01:22:23,079 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 10: Bradley delivers and Walker doesn't take any bloops. This one

1592
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:27,479
in a shallow left field. It down for a base

1593
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,319
hit around third Paynia coming home. The photo played by

1594
01:22:30,359 --> 01:22:34,640
Manga offline and Paydia score standing up Christian Walker a

1595
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,800
blue BARBIEI single and the Astros have a one nothing lead.

1596
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 6: Way you could go on contact Jeremy Payne from second base,

1597
01:22:42,039 --> 01:22:45,359
so anticipation was key, but the way he cuts third

1598
01:22:45,399 --> 01:22:49,239
base is textbook one run.

1599
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,279
Speaker 1: A score, But that was enough for the Astros hun around.

1600
01:22:52,279 --> 01:22:53,800
Imagine if you got to the game in the second

1601
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:59,159
inning you saw a pictures duel Matt. Yeah, in an

1602
01:22:59,159 --> 01:23:02,159
offense you can. Yeah. It's like one nothing soccer game.

1603
01:23:02,159 --> 01:23:06,039
It's about the tensionugh, but boredom. It's about the threat

1604
01:23:06,039 --> 01:23:09,119
of scoring Matt. That's what gets the people going. So yes,

1605
01:23:09,359 --> 01:23:13,079
one nothing game for the Astros. Some people call that

1606
01:23:13,159 --> 01:23:17,039
a bore. I say it's good razor on the edge

1607
01:23:17,079 --> 01:23:21,000
of your seat baseball for the Astros out Matt outscored

1608
01:23:21,079 --> 01:23:26,000
thirty to nine in the series thirty two nine. Last

1609
01:23:26,039 --> 01:23:29,159
time I checked the scoreboard said two wins apiece. Well

1610
01:23:30,079 --> 01:23:32,880
we don't have to check out the old run differential

1611
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:36,000
for the Astros. They are plus fifteen, which is leading

1612
01:23:36,119 --> 01:23:40,439
the American League. West Yikes Rangers at a plus three,

1613
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:42,680
Mariners at a plus eight, but more importantly, the Astros

1614
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:46,000
a half game behind the Mariners, both teams out of action.

1615
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,960
Astros start a three game set. I wonder if there's

1616
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:51,399
a lot of people in Houston heading over to Pittsburgh.

1617
01:23:51,399 --> 01:23:53,159
That's supposed to be one of the most beautiful parks

1618
01:23:53,199 --> 01:23:56,039
in the on the planet. And Robert Ford right now

1619
01:23:56,199 --> 01:24:00,239
is at the Roberto Clemente Museum in Pittsburgh. I saw that.

1620
01:24:00,279 --> 01:24:02,720
I saw his post on Instagram where he doesn't follow

1621
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:04,720
me back, but that's okay, you can follow me on Instagram.

1622
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:07,319
At Sports Harvy they had a piece of the Roberto

1623
01:24:07,399 --> 01:24:12,079
Clemente airplane, like the fuselage. I was afraid you were

1624
01:24:12,079 --> 01:24:15,079
gonna say that, and then you said it isn't that

1625
01:24:15,159 --> 01:24:19,199
a little dark macabre? However you want to say it?

1626
01:24:19,399 --> 01:24:23,600
Like ghost, Oh, macab and ghost. Nobody had the sports

1627
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,199
radio show is bringing that up? Those names? I got

1628
01:24:26,239 --> 01:24:29,039
one for you. I know somebody that owns part of

1629
01:24:29,079 --> 01:24:34,520
the plane, h the the what do you call when

1630
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:37,279
you open the door the cockpit or the door of

1631
01:24:37,359 --> 01:24:42,520
Jim Crouchy's plane that crashed and uh and Nakadash Louisiana. Really, Yeah,

1632
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:44,920
isn't that creepy? I know, somebody's got a part of

1633
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:49,199
the the Otis Redding plane crash. I just made that up,

1634
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:52,800
but he did that play crash? May he rest? All right?

1635
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:55,159
So you can see the fuselage to the plane. Yeah,

1636
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:57,079
there is weird. It looks like I don't know if

1637
01:24:57,079 --> 01:25:00,399
it's a propeller or what. That is a little dark,

1638
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,800
a little bit and a little odd. Yes, Astros in

1639
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:06,720
action against the Pittsburgh Pirates. We'll talk more about this

1640
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:09,960
on Gut Feelings tomorrow, Matt. But Lance mccullor's junior on

1641
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,079
the hill tomorrow. How about a quality start for him

1642
01:25:13,119 --> 01:25:15,279
the last time out? We talked about it last week. Well,

1643
01:25:15,279 --> 01:25:17,479
actually I didn't talk about it, but was it full

1644
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:20,319
blown coverage on the show on Thursday with Lance mccullors.

1645
01:25:20,359 --> 01:25:23,920
Junior's quality start with twelve strikeouts. Uh, you know his quality.

1646
01:25:24,079 --> 01:25:26,079
But he still got hit pretty hard, you know what

1647
01:25:26,119 --> 01:25:30,800
I mean? No, I do only five hits? You mean,

1648
01:25:31,199 --> 01:25:33,279
like I think they were slugging pretty well. There's some

1649
01:25:33,359 --> 01:25:36,560
rockets out there, that's for sure. Well, another thing that

1650
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:38,920
we've been talking about, Matt, with the Astros, we mentioned

1651
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:41,479
it earlier on the show. What are we calling this now?

1652
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:43,560
Do we have to put gate on the end of everything?

1653
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:45,399
By the way, fracture gate. Can we go back to

1654
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,159
Pittsburgh for a second. Yes, So, the most famous place

1655
01:25:48,199 --> 01:25:50,680
to eat in terms of a sandwich's Promonerancy Brothers. That's

1656
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,279
where they stuffed French fries into the sandwiches. You can

1657
01:25:53,319 --> 01:25:58,520
get a let's see, a cheese steak which would be

1658
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:05,079
topped with French fry, coslaw, tomatoes, and onions. Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes,

1659
01:26:05,279 --> 01:26:08,359
I believe jamming French fries into a sandwich is spectacul

1660
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,079
right here. Yes, jam is as much cholesterol into a

1661
01:26:11,079 --> 01:26:13,359
HOGI role as we can possibly get. Yes, I'm sorry

1662
01:26:13,359 --> 01:26:14,159
to die, I'm.

1663
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:14,520
Speaker 7: There to do it.

1664
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:16,239
Speaker 1: But I was just like, man, every time I think

1665
01:26:16,239 --> 01:26:17,920
of Pittsburgh, I've only been to Pittsburgh me he three

1666
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:20,600
or four times. I've never had promonest. Oh really, I'm

1667
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:22,359
kind of sad you've been, but haven't been. I know,

1668
01:26:22,399 --> 01:26:24,479
I've never been to Pittsburgh. No, not necessarily in the

1669
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,560
bucket list. The only reason I would go in stays

1670
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:28,960
right right, Yeah, that'd be the reason. All right, all right,

1671
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:33,079
moving along, Jays, we mentioned yes, handgate, fracture gate, fracture

1672
01:26:33,119 --> 01:26:37,000
gate two point zero. After last year's saga with Kyle

1673
01:26:37,079 --> 01:26:41,880
Tucker and his fracture, now you're on. Alvarez has a

1674
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,960
fractured hand despite taking VP on Friday. Everyone talking about

1675
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:50,079
how close he is, Joe Espada and Dana Brown saying, oh,

1676
01:26:50,119 --> 01:26:51,680
you know, it's up to him whatever he wants to

1677
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,279
be it. No, it's not up to him. He's got

1678
01:26:53,279 --> 01:26:56,199
a fracture in his hand. Although Dana Brown said he

1679
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:59,800
is sixty percent healed. Man, all right, so again, I

1680
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:03,239
will want you to use your fractional equivalence here. Okay,

1681
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:06,960
If he's sixty percent and he's probably been hurt since

1682
01:27:07,119 --> 01:27:14,560
late April, when does he hit one hundred percent? I

1683
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:19,439
don't that's algebra for you, don't doubting hold on April thirtieth, Yes,

1684
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:24,880
zero percent? Uh huh. June one sixty percent. So that's

1685
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:28,720
a month. So that's six weeks. So we're talking about

1686
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:30,960
six weeks. So he was one hundred percent healed and

1687
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:32,720
then he's got to go on a rehab assignment for

1688
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:34,680
probably a week, so we're looking at seven weeks. You

1689
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:37,439
want to play guess when you are on his back? Yeah,

1690
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:40,840
But isn't it like one of those things where the

1691
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:42,800
last ten percent is the hardest to get, Like you're

1692
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:47,039
ninety percent heeled, but it's the last percent. Can't that happen?

1693
01:27:47,079 --> 01:27:47,319
Speaker 2: Though?

1694
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 1: All right, I got one for you. Then, real quick?

1695
01:27:49,279 --> 01:27:55,760
Is he backed by September? First? September? First? Yes, it

1696
01:27:55,840 --> 01:28:00,800
is zoom met Then answer my quest, I'll say, yes,

1697
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,680
he better be back. And by the way, is he

1698
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:06,760
I p R I H I a hand fracture? He

1699
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:08,239
hasn't had a bunch of hand issues. He had had

1700
01:28:08,279 --> 01:28:10,199
a bunch of knat and juice. I mean, look, he's

1701
01:28:10,239 --> 01:28:12,880
he's a He's a violent swinger, one of the highest

1702
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:17,439
average exit villas in baseball, a big, bulking guy. Has

1703
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,600
had a variety of alments. Yes, he does the body

1704
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:22,680
frame do it? Does the sport do it to him?

1705
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:25,640
I don't know. I'm not an orthopedist anymore. I would

1706
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:28,600
say he's more eye license because there are plenty of

1707
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:32,520
outfielders that don't have hand and knees and legs. All right, well,

1708
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,279
Dana Brown, do you wish you handled anything differently with

1709
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:35,880
jord On?

1710
01:28:36,399 --> 01:28:39,119
Speaker 12: I think the big point here is, you know when

1711
01:28:39,159 --> 01:28:42,520
he had the first entry in terms of the muscle

1712
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:46,119
strain and the hand. Uh, you know, maybe we we

1713
01:28:46,119 --> 01:28:49,479
we shouldn't have let him fight through that because he

1714
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,880
said it wasn't the normal pain that he usually gets

1715
01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:55,600
in his hands, so he thought maybe he could grind

1716
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:59,479
through it and it was just just soreness. And maybe

1717
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:01,720
at that point point we probably should have shut him down,

1718
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,560
maybe for a week, giving it a chance to heal

1719
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:07,439
and and not let him, you know, try to fight

1720
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,279
through it and potentially cause more damage.

1721
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 1: So I like this admission from Dana Brown. Hey, maybe

1722
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:14,600
we rushed him back. We should have done it, admitting

1723
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:17,479
a mistake. Hey, it's okay for the organization to do that.

1724
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:21,920
When's less time he had a sore hand now because

1725
01:29:24,399 --> 01:29:29,840
general handsore us me too. Okay, can you grip a baseball?

1726
01:29:30,159 --> 01:29:31,840
I can grip it, and Ridge, I've been gripping and

1727
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:34,600
ripping it, Spencer arrogating, can grip in baseball? Now? That's good?

1728
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:36,720
Makes me happy. I'm him. When's here back, I don't know,

1729
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:39,119
don't care. I told you my philosophy, and when you

1730
01:29:39,199 --> 01:29:40,880
come back, they come back. I like that. When he's

1731
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:43,359
out there, he's out there all right, man. The athletic

1732
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:45,800
took time because well, it is a slow time for

1733
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:51,600
college football. To rank the top college football recruits of

1734
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:56,079
the twenty first century. Now, unfortunately, I do not see

1735
01:29:56,079 --> 01:29:59,960
any University of Houston Cougar recruits on this list. Maybe

1736
01:30:00,159 --> 01:30:02,000
Ed Oliver could be in there somewhere. I guess. Do

1737
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:05,239
you know who is number one on the list of

1738
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:10,079
top recruits of the twenty first century? Well, knowing how

1739
01:30:10,319 --> 01:30:14,079
you like to think, I'm gonna go Vince y'all, Vincent

1740
01:30:14,199 --> 01:30:21,159
Paul Young Junior, You're the first prospect to receive a

1741
01:30:21,279 --> 01:30:26,560
perfect one point zero zero rating. Number two, Travis Hunter,

1742
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:31,520
number three, Trevor Lawrence, number four, Adrian Peterson rounding out

1743
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:35,239
the top five LSU class of twenty fourteen running back

1744
01:30:35,319 --> 01:30:41,439
Leonard Fournette. Hmm, again I'm scanning. There is uh yeah,

1745
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:46,119
no Houston Cougar's recruits on this list. Are you done? Unfortunately?

1746
01:30:47,199 --> 01:30:49,680
And thank you for that update. Quinn yours, by the way,

1747
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:53,119
number nine, he is not arch manning number twenty three.

1748
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:55,399
Quinn rs was a big record. Now we went to

1749
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:58,239
a house first, got his MILLI from there. Correct, he

1750
01:30:58,319 --> 01:31:00,279
was a huge recruit. Yeah, didn't live a to the

1751
01:31:00,319 --> 01:31:02,920
hype for sure. And now I forget about this when

1752
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,720
Doyel Green Beckham the Missouri White the way, let me

1753
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:08,319
ask you this on yours real fast. So he was

1754
01:31:08,319 --> 01:31:12,680
a seventh round picker of sixth seventh. So remember when

1755
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:14,560
I gave you that take that maybe he should be

1756
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:16,840
better served by staying in college. Go get the nil

1757
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:19,239
money and then try this again. I was actually right

1758
01:31:19,279 --> 01:31:22,359
about that. No, I told you you're not wrong. I

1759
01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:25,159
told you Quinn wants to Quinn feels like he has

1760
01:31:25,279 --> 01:31:27,239
enough money and he wants to start his NFL career

1761
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:29,760
because for him, another year in college isn't gonna do

1762
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:33,479
anything for him. Well, that's no, I see, I disagree

1763
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:36,720
with that. Obviously, another year in college could have helped

1764
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:38,760
his draft status. Well, another you would have given him

1765
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:41,039
more guaranteed money. Nobody, even you didn't think he was

1766
01:31:41,079 --> 01:31:44,279
gonna slip to the seventh Yeah, so we thought it

1767
01:31:44,319 --> 01:31:46,119
was going to be around there for a couple million dollars.

1768
01:31:46,159 --> 01:31:47,720
I'm gonna imagine the Quinn you were thought he was

1769
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:49,479
going to be there as well. So did he take

1770
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:52,199
an ellen? Did he bet on himself? Yes, we've seen

1771
01:31:52,239 --> 01:31:56,520
players bet on themselves and lose, so right now he's losing.

1772
01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:59,760
If he can turn into some semblance of an NFL career,

1773
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:02,760
which he unlikely for a seventh round pick those according

1774
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:05,600
to the numbers, then yeah, he bet on himself and

1775
01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:07,640
he lost. We also don't know what kind of big

1776
01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:10,199
offers he had if it was true the rumors of

1777
01:32:10,239 --> 01:32:13,239
four million dollars, because there was uh, there was the

1778
01:32:13,319 --> 01:32:17,000
rumor that who is the Carson Beck, the Georgia quarterback,

1779
01:32:17,279 --> 01:32:19,159
This is supposed to be getting four million dollars. Apparently

1780
01:32:19,199 --> 01:32:23,520
that was a lie, and then Nico yamialiava goodness or

1781
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:26,119
something like that. So it was a whole big mess

1782
01:32:26,119 --> 01:32:27,720
with the nil. You don't even know what was out there,

1783
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:32,119
what turn pro nil money is being largely I think overstated.

1784
01:32:32,119 --> 01:32:35,000
Don't you think overinflated? It seems like it. Yeah, all right,

1785
01:32:35,039 --> 01:32:37,760
that's the news at Nude twelve fifteen Sports Talk seven Hony,

1786
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:39,520
we are with you today until two o'clock. If you

1787
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:41,479
want to get into your beloved Astros only a half

1788
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:43,399
game out of first place, we'll do that fair game.

1789
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:45,000
If you would like to give us a prediction of

1790
01:32:45,039 --> 01:32:48,439
the NBA playoffs, if you are no longer worried about

1791
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:51,239
c J. Straw, that's me. If you are slightly worried.

1792
01:32:51,239 --> 01:32:54,640
That's ross seven one three two one two five seven

1793
01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:58,079
ninety seven one three two one two five seven ninety

1794
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:00,239
today's to day. I should have believed in that be

1795
01:33:00,399 --> 01:33:02,720
all things about the NBA on T and t ending

1796
01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:07,239
a thirty six year run of calling NBA games and

1797
01:33:07,279 --> 01:33:10,840
that work. By the way, Charles Barkley says, the NB

1798
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:14,880
inside the NBA group taped a pilot for what the

1799
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:17,680
show will be like on tn T without any NBA rights,

1800
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:21,920
quoting Charles Barkley, we won't have basketball highlights. We taped

1801
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:24,159
a pilot about a month ago. It was the stupidest

1802
01:33:24,159 --> 01:33:27,359
blank I've ever seen in my life. They can't get

1803
01:33:27,359 --> 01:33:29,920
any rights to highlights. No, they just did it without.

1804
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:33,359
Oh they did it without. Like, hey, let's try something.

1805
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:38,399
Let's try to expand horizons. You don't honestly and give

1806
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:41,680
credit where credits due. I mean, Charles has become one

1807
01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:46,199
of the most sought after television media personalities in the

1808
01:33:46,239 --> 01:33:50,079
history of television sports. Kenny has carved out a niche

1809
01:33:50,079 --> 01:33:52,039
I mean not going to necessarily rock the boat. He's

1810
01:33:52,039 --> 01:33:54,840
the level He's the level headed guy. Ernie is the

1811
01:33:55,159 --> 01:33:57,520
is the guy that you know kind of is the

1812
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:01,600
traffic cop. Shock doesn't much for me on the television side.

1813
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:04,039
But Shaq is one of the most successful business people

1814
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:09,359
in the country today. Yes, and he's America's pitch man. Yes,

1815
01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:14,600
he's doing insurance, foot powder. He owns, owns all sorts

1816
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:18,239
of restaurants and different kind of full on mobile. It's

1817
01:34:18,239 --> 01:34:20,960
funny because Magic did that for a long period of

1818
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:23,119
time and now he stepped away from that. Now I

1819
01:34:23,159 --> 01:34:25,560
think he's just in team ownerships. Yeah, I know he

1820
01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:27,520
has got a piece of the Dodgers, which I'm sure

1821
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:30,079
is very doesn't even on an NFL team too. I

1822
01:34:30,079 --> 01:34:34,359
want to think. So was it the Commanders. I think

1823
01:34:34,359 --> 01:34:38,159
it was the Commanders. Yeah, so these guys, I mean,

1824
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:41,279
say what you all about Shaq? And I if Shaq

1825
01:34:41,399 --> 01:34:44,079
was to walk in here right now, we'd find him engaging. Yes,

1826
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:47,079
he'd probably buy us a meal. He comes to restaurants

1827
01:34:47,119 --> 01:34:48,439
all the time and buy his meals. And he goes

1828
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:50,640
to breakfast club all the time. The restaurant he'll buy

1829
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,279
the restaurant out. He's a very good tipper. He's very generous.

1830
01:34:53,359 --> 01:34:56,640
I saw like some uh he had given like somebody

1831
01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:58,840
his uncle or somebody in his family, like a range drover.

1832
01:34:59,039 --> 01:35:03,079
He he to be very very generous, very very profitable, smart,

1833
01:35:03,119 --> 01:35:05,119
sharp business guy and makes a lot of money and

1834
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:08,960
is very good pitchman, anthropic with it. Yeah good, I

1835
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:12,760
mean all positive things. Analysis. Does he know the Detroit

1836
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:16,720
Pistons roster? No? No, you know that John Moran is

1837
01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:18,760
in active? He's like, ma key for the game? Is

1838
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:22,680
John Moran? He's not playing Shack. That was a Rockets game, right,

1839
01:35:23,079 --> 01:35:26,399
did that? Uh? That's crazy. My favorite segment they do

1840
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:28,319
this last couple of years is can that Can they

1841
01:35:28,399 --> 01:35:31,479
name the team which this player is who he played for? Yeah? Yeah,

1842
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:33,479
they call it who he played for, but they go

1843
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:37,199
like way deep on the roster like Garrett Garrett Temple,

1844
01:35:37,279 --> 01:35:39,319
Yeah exactly. I have no idea. I don't remember it

1845
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,840
was Toronto Raptors. Oh sure, why not? Yeah? They do

1846
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:43,720
guys like on the end of the bench and who

1847
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,680
he played for. So it's I don't get mad at

1848
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:49,039
them because I can't get those either. Do you think

1849
01:35:49,159 --> 01:35:53,880
that Shaq knows that Aaron Holliday is a Houston Rocket? No, Jay,

1850
01:35:53,880 --> 01:36:00,640
Shawn Tate, No, who else? Jack Landell would be kind

1851
01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:03,680
of a curious one. But would you see Jack got

1852
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:07,079
a little bit of shall we say, spicy commentary on

1853
01:36:07,119 --> 01:36:09,920
a podcast last week or two. What did he say?

1854
01:36:10,039 --> 01:36:11,800
He said it was part of politics, of the reason

1855
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,960
why Steven Adams played over him during the part of

1856
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:17,560
the part of the season, like Kiwi versus Aussie politics.

1857
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:18,800
I don't know what it was, and I don't know

1858
01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:21,359
what politics means. But then he said, well, on second thought,

1859
01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:22,920
now that I think about it, he played really well

1860
01:36:23,039 --> 01:36:26,239
in the playoffs, and I get it. I'm sorry, Jock,

1861
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:31,039
I'm an I like politics. You mean basketball playing acumen

1862
01:36:31,239 --> 01:36:33,520
or like what would you call skill. Jock's a good guy,

1863
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:37,359
by the way, like him a lot. Calls me mate, Yes,

1864
01:36:39,399 --> 01:36:41,600
I know, hey, okay, oh yeah, we're real tight. He

1865
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:45,760
calls me chief. Yeah okay, well, uh boss, boss. That's

1866
01:36:46,079 --> 01:36:48,760
that's what Jabari Smith calls me. Again. There is zero

1867
01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:51,760
chance not a single player on the team knows my name.

1868
01:36:52,279 --> 01:36:53,920
That's just fine. I mean, it's fine. I get over it.

1869
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:56,359
That's fine. The best thing all last year when it

1870
01:36:56,399 --> 01:36:59,800
came to Steven Adams is we were in Miami and

1871
01:36:59,880 --> 01:37:02,600
I think we spent the night. If I'm not whatever

1872
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:08,600
it was. He is known for his proteins. Yes, like

1873
01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:11,239
big Tomahack's when you crush a whole Tomahawks steak. So

1874
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:14,479
this is the day of the game, this is before

1875
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,039
the game against the Heat. And he and I get

1876
01:37:17,039 --> 01:37:19,399
in the elevator and he's carrying a plate with him.

1877
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:22,159
Uh huh. How often you carry plates in an elevator

1878
01:37:22,159 --> 01:37:24,399
like an act, not like a noun to go play

1879
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:29,600
to an actual like a real plate. I said, where

1880
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:31,119
did you get that? And I said, I said, I

1881
01:37:31,159 --> 01:37:33,800
had him cook it up for me. It was this.

1882
01:37:34,279 --> 01:37:36,000
He walked down in his flip flops of the grill

1883
01:37:36,039 --> 01:37:37,520
and then they grill it up and he walks back

1884
01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:40,439
up there. Ridiculously thick steak. I mean it had to

1885
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:44,960
have been a pound with a big heaping of mashed potatoes.

1886
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:48,520
M not every day you see a seven foot player

1887
01:37:49,159 --> 01:37:51,479
with a thick steak and amount of mashed potatoes on

1888
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:53,960
a real plate in an elevator. He's got a fuel up.

1889
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:58,239
Whatever he's doing is working. I like Steve Adams. Meanwhile,

1890
01:37:58,239 --> 01:38:00,359
I'm still in the morning muffin some downstairs next to

1891
01:38:00,359 --> 01:38:04,920
the free coffee. Terrible. You're drinking creamer and you say,

1892
01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:07,760
I have ten creamers for breakfast. Got to say this

1893
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:10,920
for the gambling money. That's what it is. Let's talk

1894
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:13,920
to my kids. San Antonio, twelve, twenty six, Mikey, thank

1895
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:17,880
you for waiting in. Good afternoon, Good afternoon, guys.

1896
01:38:18,159 --> 01:38:20,520
Speaker 11: I'm actually driving back from Houston. Went to the game

1897
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:24,640
on yesterday. Nice after the game, yeah, and I was

1898
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:28,399
curious to know your opinion and if you know details

1899
01:38:28,399 --> 01:38:30,960
of what happened that guy getting tossed. But first of all, Matt,

1900
01:38:31,479 --> 01:38:33,680
you'll be glad to know that there was no way

1901
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:37,079
they tried to get it started. I think it may

1902
01:38:37,239 --> 01:38:38,079
was like the fifth inning.

1903
01:38:38,199 --> 01:38:41,199
Speaker 1: And do you know something, Mike. Mike, first of all,

1904
01:38:41,239 --> 01:38:43,199
thank you for bringing that up. Second, anything you did

1905
01:38:43,199 --> 01:38:45,479
to make sure it didn't happen. I have seen less

1906
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:49,680
waves into twenty twenty five that I have seen in

1907
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:51,479
Houston years. I don't know what I know. If it's

1908
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:53,920
because a wave buster is h O U thanks, or

1909
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:56,319
we're just becoming smarter fans. But I want to applaud

1910
01:38:56,399 --> 01:38:57,960
all of you that have gone to games. Now again

1911
01:38:58,039 --> 01:39:00,720
we're hearing the kids just got out so things could

1912
01:39:01,239 --> 01:39:03,720
turn quick. Crowds have been light, so maybe it started.

1913
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 11: It started on the third base side, on the lower level.

1914
01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:10,319
And but it just it never got far. And you

1915
01:39:10,359 --> 01:39:13,680
know anyway, what I what I wanted to know your

1916
01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:17,000
opinion on. So the guy getting tossed and I saw

1917
01:39:17,039 --> 01:39:19,039
it after it looked at it was definitely a ball.

1918
01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:22,119
But my painting was IP should have just let it go.

1919
01:39:23,159 --> 01:39:25,039
I don't know what he said to it. The only

1920
01:39:25,039 --> 01:39:27,279
thing I don't know, but I just don't know what

1921
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:30,239
calls all that and why the guy got tossed at it.

1922
01:39:30,239 --> 01:39:33,159
Speaker 1: If you guys, I do, it's very easy, Mike, and

1923
01:39:33,239 --> 01:39:35,159
thank you for the phone call. Please drive safety back

1924
01:39:35,199 --> 01:39:39,439
to San Antonio. So they used during spring training this

1925
01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:41,600
year and it's used in the minor leagues this year.

1926
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:47,399
An appeals process on the ball strikes. If you believe

1927
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:53,399
that a call was erroneous, you tap your helmet. Yes,

1928
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:55,399
all right, So that's nice and simple.

1929
01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:55,640
Speaker 2: Right.

1930
01:39:56,279 --> 01:40:00,119
Speaker 1: There's only one problem. You can't tap your helmet and

1931
01:40:00,159 --> 01:40:02,600
to make big leagues because it does no good. So

1932
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:06,960
what that guy did, what's his name, Taylor? What Wells? Balls? Wells,

1933
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:08,880
doesn't really matter. He'll be a Durham before you know it.

1934
01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:12,159
What Taylor did is he tapped it because he wanted

1935
01:40:12,199 --> 01:40:15,439
to show the umpire up right. He was being snarky

1936
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:18,079
or sarcastic. So I put it as a cova on

1937
01:40:18,119 --> 01:40:21,920
Twitter of handing a guy handing an umpire pair of glasses. Right,

1938
01:40:22,199 --> 01:40:24,720
that's what he did. He did like the glasses symbol

1939
01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:28,279
with his hands or you know, or John Cena, you

1940
01:40:28,319 --> 01:40:31,960
can't see me exactly he did that. Yeah, he lied

1941
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:35,239
at he knew exactly what he was doing. He was

1942
01:40:35,279 --> 01:40:37,119
trying to show the umpire up, and the Empire is like,

1943
01:40:37,119 --> 01:40:38,640
anybody got time for that? And he throw him his

1944
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:40,920
ass out of the game. Yeah, essentially you can't argue

1945
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:43,159
balls and strikes, and essentially that is number one, it's

1946
01:40:43,239 --> 01:40:46,920
mocking and number two it's arguing balls and strikes. He

1947
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:49,640
was saying something to the umpire. Yes, he stepped out

1948
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:52,119
of the box, called for his time out. There was

1949
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:55,199
Taylor even said there was chirping from the raised dugout. Yes,

1950
01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:58,319
that would have been all allowed for a certain length

1951
01:40:58,359 --> 01:41:00,640
of time. But when you go to the tapping your

1952
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:03,640
helmet and he said he was adjusting his helmet bs

1953
01:41:04,159 --> 01:41:06,800
B S. He was trying to show him up. If

1954
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:09,520
I was the umpire, I would have done the exact same.

1955
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:13,840
It was a very justified ejection, extremely earned you're well earned.

1956
01:41:14,039 --> 01:41:16,920
And then then he lost his mind and tried to

1957
01:41:17,039 --> 01:41:23,159
charge the umpire went nuts. He as the kids would say,

1958
01:41:23,199 --> 01:41:25,640
he crashed out. Oh way, is Taylor and boy's name

1959
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:29,239
are a girl's name primary both. It's a last name

1960
01:41:29,239 --> 01:41:31,399
that got turned into both. To me, how do you

1961
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:33,920
feel about it? There's any anybody in eighteen sixty seven

1962
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:37,279
named Taylor? I just feel like Taylor's a super preppy name,

1963
01:41:37,319 --> 01:41:39,520
and that dude just does not match a Taylor Taylor.

1964
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:45,800
It looks like more like an Enis e n Os Enis.

1965
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:48,760
Don't care do you think I said? I thought you

1966
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:51,159
said Enis, but I mean Enis cabell Is the only

1967
01:41:51,199 --> 01:41:54,800
one I know. Enis from the from the Dukes in

1968
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:58,119
the Bandit? Yes, wasn't that a smoky in the banded Enis?

1969
01:41:58,199 --> 01:42:00,239
Or was it Duke Duke Hazard? That was? That was

1970
01:42:00,239 --> 01:42:01,720
the deput You got his own TV show and I

1971
01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:04,399
can't your track. That's fine, I have to watch us

1972
01:42:04,399 --> 01:42:07,960
smoking the bandit again, all right, So there you have it.

1973
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:11,079
So yeah, Enis decided he didn't want to stick around,

1974
01:42:11,199 --> 01:42:13,520
or the umpire made sure he didn't stick around. Then

1975
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:16,359
he really lost his mind. And then Kevin Cash came

1976
01:42:16,399 --> 01:42:18,800
out there. It was moot. It was big Enis and

1977
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:24,399
Smoking in the Bandit. Oh that's the cow McNair character. Yeah,

1978
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:27,640
I did not know that guy's name was Enis. What'd

1979
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:31,159
you think it was? By the way, I recently saw

1980
01:42:31,199 --> 01:42:34,359
Smoking in the Bandit for the first time. Go ahead

1981
01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:40,520
say it. It sucked, now, are you generationally? Yeah, I'm

1982
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:44,199
not a shaming I'm just saying it was. There was

1983
01:42:44,239 --> 01:42:46,520
just very little to no plot and the dude just

1984
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:49,079
drives around for two hours, right real fat? Oh, come

1985
01:42:49,119 --> 01:42:50,720
come on, And it wasn't that fun. I didn't don't.

1986
01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:52,479
I don't think I laughed one. I want you to

1987
01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:56,479
name two movies, okay, that are at least thirty years

1988
01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:58,720
old that I like that you still laugh at this

1989
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:01,079
day because I don't you do it right now? No,

1990
01:43:01,119 --> 01:43:03,439
if we come back, okay, because I watch one of

1991
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:05,520
them this weekend, now, thirty years old is just a

1992
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:11,840
ninety five minute. Can you go forty? I can go forty. Okay,

1993
01:43:12,319 --> 01:43:14,479
you go thirty. I'll go forty. I can name you

1994
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:17,399
two movies that are forty years old and I still

1995
01:43:18,199 --> 01:43:21,800
barely laugh after all these. You had to be there,

1996
01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:24,359
I think correct because in his Southern Friday.

1997
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:25,119
Speaker 8: Sure why not?

1998
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:29,399
Speaker 1: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven

1999
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:32,279
one three two one two five seveninty twelve thirty two

2000
01:43:32,319 --> 01:43:35,000
on Sports Talk seven Hunty all right, real fit, quick

2001
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,000
to finish off. We were just talking about there are

2002
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:39,760
two movies. You guys know that Airplane is my favorite

2003
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:43,640
movie of all time. I we had Caddy Shack was

2004
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:47,199
on this weekend on some one of the movie channels. Ross.

2005
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:53,880
I still ridiculously laugh at everything about Caddy Shack two,

2006
01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:57,159
not Candy Shack two, Caddy Shock to Caddy Shack one.

2007
01:43:57,319 --> 01:43:59,279
You gonna say you're the one that enjoy it. No, no, no, no,

2008
01:43:59,279 --> 01:44:08,439
no two T two. Caddyshack ted night and Chevy Chase's

2009
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:12,479
character didn't do much for him. It was forty five years. Yeah,

2010
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:14,880
I thought Caddyshack was okay. And then again, this is

2011
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:17,279
all me recently, while I don't know the last five

2012
01:44:17,319 --> 01:44:21,159
to ten years watching them. Airplane is Airplane is great.

2013
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:24,319
I'm with you on that Blazing Saddles I found hilarious.

2014
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:28,479
I haven't seen Blazing Saddles start to finish in a lot.

2015
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:33,119
I'm trying to think of the Yeah, so I like

2016
01:44:33,199 --> 01:44:35,279
it's hidden miss but I'm smoking the band and I'm

2017
01:44:35,279 --> 01:44:38,840
just sitting there saying, I just don't get it. You

2018
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:41,479
don't get Caddyshack. No, no smoking in the band, oh

2019
01:44:41,479 --> 01:44:46,159
smoking abandon. Yeah, I don't remember them being overly. I

2020
01:44:46,199 --> 01:44:49,479
just remember that Sally Field and Burt Reynolds were together

2021
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:51,199
and that was kind of weird. Yeah, there was a

2022
01:44:51,239 --> 01:44:53,760
lot of sexual tension, a lot of and Jackie Gleeson

2023
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:57,199
was in it. Two. Yes, I didn't care for it.

2024
01:44:57,479 --> 01:45:00,119
I love that transam though it's an old timer. It's

2025
01:45:00,159 --> 01:45:01,960
one of my all time favorite cars. Okay, So the

2026
01:45:02,039 --> 01:45:04,720
two movies for me that still hold belly laugh funny

2027
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:07,560
forty years later would be Caddyshack for me, an Airplane

2028
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:08,159

2029
01:45:08,239 --> 01:45:08,319
Speaker 9: What?

Speaker 1: I was gonna say Airplane and Blazing Okay, very good? Sure,

2032
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:18,399
One up Money Python, Holy Grail. That was good. Never

2033
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:22,560
saw it. What that's your era? Never saw any of

2034
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:25,720
the Money Python, not a single one of the case. Yeah,

2035
01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:28,319
you're more of a slapstick guy. Let me ask you this,

2036
01:45:28,439 --> 01:45:30,920
thats a pretty slapstick Let me give you five movies

2037

like a couple of years. Yeah, maybe last year. Still hilarious.

2042
01:45:57,159 --> 01:45:59,880
Bride's Maids. It's dated though, It's it makes it because,

2043
01:46:00,079 --> 01:46:02,479
I mean, it shouldn't feel as old as it does.

2044
01:46:03,199 --> 01:46:05,600
Talking about forty year old Virgin. Like they have flip

2045
01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:08,199
phones and stuff, and they're working at the electronics store

2046
01:46:08,239 --> 01:46:11,039
and they're like, we got this new DVD player. Nobody's

2047
01:46:11,119 --> 01:46:12,920

2052
01:46:24,520 --> 01:46:26,720
I haven't watched it. Let me give you a couple more. Okay,

2053
01:46:27,159 --> 01:46:29,920
I know this is We're in a huge sports June,

2054
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:33,439
and its June. It's about that time of year. Vacation

2055
01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:39,840
holds up. I have never seen vacation all the way through,

2056
01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:42,920
unbelievably funny now Vegas vacation. I loved when I was

2057
01:46:42,920 --> 01:46:46,359
a kid. Vegas is the worst of the is the

2058
01:46:46,359 --> 01:46:51,800
best of the rest. It goes vacation one, Christmas vacation two.

2059
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:55,840
Oh yeah, yeah, Vegas vacation three, and then European vacation

2060
01:46:56,079 --> 01:46:59,560
is a distant fourth. The European vacation absolutely sucked. I

2061
01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:04,760
didn't catch that one. But Vegas vacation somewhat holds. Christmas

2062
01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:08,760
vacation definitely holds. Oh yeah, in vacation are Christmas vacation is?

2063
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:11,680
How old? It's almost eighty years? Yeah, it's gonna be

2064
01:47:11,680 --> 01:47:15,119
close to forty eighty nine. It's thirty six years ago.

2065
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:19,600
Back in Beverly, Dangelo was hot. What is she now?

2066
01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:24,279
Matt old can be old and hot. That wouldn't fit

2067
01:47:24,319 --> 01:47:27,119
her though. Okay, you know she's married to don't No,

2068
01:47:27,159 --> 01:47:31,079
I don't know she's married too, don helly. No, not

2069
01:47:31,119 --> 01:47:36,199
a horrible al Pacino. No, she's not. Al Pacino's married

2070
01:47:36,199 --> 01:47:39,640
to like some twenty year old. She maybe was married Alpacina. Okay,

2071
01:47:41,239 --> 01:47:44,279
wasn't It wasn't al Pacino recently impregnating some twenty year old?

2072
01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:47,840
Yeah that Robert de Niro did that? Was it Robert

2073
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:49,720
de Niro? I'm getting mixed up? No, I thought it

2074
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:52,560
was al Pacino and the woman also had a she

2075
01:47:52,680 --> 01:47:57,319
had another baby with some old billionaire. I'm looking up here,

2076
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:02,279
uh spouses here now we're now, I'm I'm wigged out

2077
01:48:02,279 --> 01:48:09,640
about Beverly D'Angelo. Wah, I can't believe you did that

2078
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:12,119
from al Pacino from ninety seven to two thousand. She

2079
01:48:12,119 --> 01:48:14,319
hadn't been married in since two thousand and three. Now, oh,

2080
01:48:14,399 --> 01:48:16,880
I'm sorry you had to update your rolodex on that.

2081
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:21,560
The IMDb they're only married for six years. Yeah. Hey,

2082
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:26,439
in Hollywood, that's like twenty. That is true. That is true. Okay, well,

2083
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:31,159
the show's gone to a grinding halt. Uh more, Beverly

01:48:31,319 --> 01:48:36,359
d Angelo talk coming? No, no, no, no, we'll break down.

You want to discuss in Texas off season? O Tas

01:48:45,359 --> 01:48:48,359
up this al Pacino. Does he have a Does he

2089
01:48:48,399 --> 01:48:51,680
have a lineup card? Like uh Derek Jeter does. It's

2090
01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:56,319
probably pretty good. It's a little bit older obviously, yeah,

2091
01:48:56,399 --> 01:48:59,359
nor I'll follow, And how old is she's eighty three?

01:49:09,960 --> 01:49:12,159
at the time. What do you have to use a crane?

2095
01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:18,439
There are phrases popping in my head that I'm not

2096
01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:20,000
going to say. So I'm gonna, you know what, maybe

I did not tell Jonathan what song to play for Madonna.

2126
01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:03,159
I just find a Madonna song, Jonathan, this is my

2127
01:51:03,199 --> 01:51:06,920
favorite Madonna song. It is absolutely like a prayer. A

2128
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:11,319
video on YouTube. So she was the hottest she's ever been.

2136
01:51:39,359 --> 01:51:43,039
my love. Good call, Yeah, like a prayer. She's a

2137
01:51:43,239 --> 01:51:50,119
smoke showing that now she's a skeleton. She looks like

2138
01:51:50,399 --> 01:51:54,279
she's participating on the mask singer and she hadn't taken

2139
01:51:54,279 --> 01:51:57,319
her mask off yet. She looks like she's inheriting a

2140
01:51:57,399 --> 01:52:00,239
meth lab and working in the laboratory right now, y'all

2141
01:52:00,279 --> 01:52:02,359

01:52:03,199 --> 01:52:05,560
Speaker 3: Like that weird horror film where they go to that

2143
01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:11,720
abandoned town and it's like Philip Kendall like wax figures. Oh,

2144
01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:14,720

2145
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:17,000
like dipping live people in wax and like trying to.

2146
01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:18,520
Speaker 1: Like, Yeah, she looks like that. I don't know what

2147
01:52:18,520 --> 01:52:20,319
you're talking about. I can't remember what it's called though,

2148
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:24,319
House House of Wax, House of I think, yeah, I

2149
01:52:24,359 --> 01:52:26,199
think it's called Hasse Wax. I just googled it. That

2150
01:52:26,279 --> 01:52:28,239
was the scariest movie I've watched in college. Guess what

2151
01:52:28,239 --> 01:52:30,920

01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:39,880
she looks like Jigsaw. By the way, I got some

2154
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:42,600
bad news. Tennessee is losing one nothing to Texas in

2155
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:44,920
the bottom of the six. And that bad news because

2156
01:52:44,920 --> 01:52:51,880
the Tennessee picture is cute. Tell me I'm wrong. Number

2157
01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:53,920
two twenty three, I don't know what she looks like.

2158
01:52:54,079 --> 01:52:56,560
Number two doesn't see number two. Number two is all right.

2159
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:01,600
I'm talking about twenty three wind up and the first

2160
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:05,239
pitch ooh, it hits. She hit her pissed off. Let's

2161
01:53:05,239 --> 01:53:08,520

2162
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:13,279

2163
01:53:13,319 --> 01:53:16,439

2169
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:42,800
Let's uh get my phone's my phone system's not working.

2170
01:53:43,239 --> 01:53:45,760
Let's got to Nancy and Tom Ball. Nancy's going to

2171
01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:48,520
save us. Hello, Nancy, how are you hi?

2172
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:50,800
Speaker 2: Thank you for taking my call. Sure I have a

2173
01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:53,479
question that my grandson, eighteen year old grandson and I

2174
01:53:53,520 --> 01:53:55,960
are debating. We disagree on the is.

2175
01:53:56,560 --> 01:53:58,960
Speaker 1: It an opinion or is it a true question?

2176
01:53:59,720 --> 01:54:01,199
Speaker 2: It's true question, I think.

2177
01:54:01,319 --> 01:54:02,039
Speaker 1: Is all right?

2178
01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:06,039
Speaker 2: Okay, they just brought up Jacob Melton from the minor leaguess.

2179
01:54:06,039 --> 01:54:08,119
Speaker 1: Correct, that is correct. Yesterday got his first major league

2180
01:54:08,159 --> 01:54:09,319
head on a seeing I single.

2181
01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:13,239
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay, when he came up, he was making

2182
01:54:13,279 --> 01:54:15,239
a major league minor league salary. But when they brought

2183
01:54:15,279 --> 01:54:17,800
him up, he makes major league minimum.

2184
01:54:17,840 --> 01:54:18,880
Speaker 1: Correct, that is correct.

2185
01:54:20,199 --> 01:54:22,319
Speaker 2: Okay, he's only let's just say he's only there for

2186
01:54:22,319 --> 01:54:23,720
two days. They send him back down.

2187
01:54:24,479 --> 01:54:27,079
Speaker 1: What happens They called a two way contract. They called

2188
01:54:27,079 --> 01:54:29,119
a two way contract, can go back to minor league wages.

2189
01:54:29,199 --> 01:54:31,960
Speaker 2: Yes, oh that's what I told you.

2190
01:54:32,039 --> 01:54:34,840
Speaker 1: Now, don't get me win the argument. Yeah, so Nancy,

2191
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:37,000
don't get into a deep dive on a two way contract.

2192
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:40,319
But yes, there is numbers. Yeah, you're not. Once you

2193
01:54:40,359 --> 01:54:42,840
get there, you don't inherit the contract. Wrestler, You you're

2194
01:54:43,119 --> 01:54:45,800
you're up to a certain level. You have a two

2195
01:54:45,800 --> 01:54:47,680
way contract, meaning you make minor lage money as a

2196
01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:49,600
minor leaguer and major league as a major leaguer. So

2197
01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:53,359
let's say, for instance, like last year, Jose Bray, you

2198
01:54:53,439 --> 01:54:55,640
went down to the minor leagues to work on his game.

2199
01:54:55,960 --> 01:54:58,159
He was making major league money the entire time. It's

2200
01:54:58,239 --> 01:54:59,920
it's based off of service time and where you are

2201
01:55:00,079 --> 01:55:02,479
as a major league player. But yeah, not for Jack.

2202
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:04,640
Speaker 2: I understand that he's be a major leaguer and that

2203
01:55:04,760 --> 01:55:06,560
I understood that. But this is what I told you

2204
01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:08,760
about the minor leaguers. When they come up, they make

2205
01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:11,199
major league and then they go back to minor league. Sorry,

2206
01:55:11,479 --> 01:55:13,239
and he didn't think that was true. He thought that

2207
01:55:13,279 --> 01:55:18,199
the one the light last what do they call those association.

2208
01:55:18,359 --> 01:55:20,439
Speaker 1: Bargains a players association?

2209
01:55:21,079 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah right, he thought that they.

2210
01:55:22,760 --> 01:55:25,199
Speaker 1: Unless there was something recently collectively bargained that I don't

2211
01:55:25,199 --> 01:55:29,239
know about. I believe. Yeah, you're a correct Nancy. Okay,

2212
01:55:29,279 --> 01:55:31,640
thank you for you, Nancy. Sorry, and tell you and

2213
01:55:31,640 --> 01:55:33,760
tell your grandson to respect his grandmother. Come on, now,

2214
01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:35,640
tell your grandson. We said, suck it. Yeah, tell your

2215
01:55:35,680 --> 01:55:38,000
scrandson and getting to get worry about college and not

2216
01:55:38,039 --> 01:55:40,000
we're about arguing with his grandmother about baseball because she

2217
01:55:40,039 --> 01:55:42,560
knows more than you he does. Thanks Nancy, We'll see

2218
01:55:42,560 --> 01:55:45,880
you later. Okay, all right, I think she said it.

2219
01:55:45,920 --> 01:55:48,720
I did, thank you, thank you. My phone screener system

2220
01:55:48,760 --> 01:55:50,560

2221
01:55:50,640 --> 01:55:53,239

Speaker 8: So a couple of weeks ago I called about my

01:56:14,359 --> 01:56:17,960
experience up there in other oklaholm, I'm sorry Arlington at

2232
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:20,800
the Rangers game, and uh, you know so apparently calling

2233
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:22,560
on Monday with dumb baseball takes is just what I

2234
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:23,000
do now.

2235
01:56:23,439 --> 01:56:26,000
Speaker 1: But at any rate, Ross, I don't remember.

2236
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:27,920
Speaker 8: A couple of weeks ago you were doing the postgame

2237
01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:30,800
show at Carbak. My brother and I were tackling you

2238
01:56:30,880 --> 01:56:32,960
because you wouldn't say birds up as really.

2239
01:56:33,079 --> 01:56:34,079
Speaker 1: Oh that's right.

2240
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:38,079
Speaker 8: I wonder if your team just something to.

2241
01:56:38,079 --> 01:56:39,399
Speaker 1: Throw out there and think about it. You know what,

2242
01:56:39,479 --> 01:56:45,600
maybe I did, Jixim, Yeah, I remember you, Matt, Yeah yeah, Okay,

2243
01:56:45,600 --> 01:56:45,920
what is it?

2244
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:46,479
Speaker 5: What is it now?

2245
01:56:46,680 --> 01:56:48,000
Speaker 1: Runners up? What do you call it?

2246
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:48,079
Speaker 2: Go?

2247
01:56:48,239 --> 01:56:48,640
Speaker 1: Birds?

2248
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:50,159
Speaker 8: Birds up?

2249
01:56:50,279 --> 01:56:53,520
Speaker 1: Go birds up? Well, the birds.

2250
01:56:53,119 --> 01:56:55,000
Speaker 8: School of the backup school whatever you know?

2251
01:56:55,239 --> 01:56:57,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's fine. It's what are you called

2252
01:56:57,239 --> 01:56:59,359
the funnel school? Or if your grades aren't good enough,

2253
01:56:59,359 --> 01:57:02,039
that's where you stay trap school.

2254
01:57:03,079 --> 01:57:04,520
Speaker 8: So that being said, you know, we're not gonna have

2255
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:06,399
a lot of success, probably, but I just had to

2256
01:57:06,399 --> 01:57:08,880
blow our boasts a little bit rather about the little

2257
01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:09,319
bit we've had.

2258
01:57:09,359 --> 01:57:11,239
Speaker 1: So I had to go out there. I got you.

On College Baseball Talk, Bismack, Okay, I didn't watch the game.

2264
01:57:26,279 --> 01:57:29,279
I didn't have to. Normally around this time, Regionals is

2265
01:57:29,279 --> 01:57:31,960
when I get invested in starting learning who the players are.

2266
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:35,319
I know they have the really good freshman closeder Dylan Valentis,

2267
01:57:35,319 --> 01:57:37,039

2268
01:57:37,079 --> 01:57:39,359

02:01:31,840 --> 02:01:34,760

2336
02:01:34,760 --> 02:01:37,039
get any good drive ins? Did they have some somewheres?

2337
02:01:37,239 --> 02:01:39,039
When you said the Woodlands out on the sticks out there,

2338
02:01:39,119 --> 02:01:40,640
they got some drive ins? They do?

2339

2341
02:01:42,880 --> 02:01:47,560
Magnolia Texas. You don't even know that. I mean, I

2342
02:01:47,600 --> 02:01:50,199
guess you're right. You could have said Montgomery had been

2343
02:01:50,199 --> 02:01:54,479
more believable. Uh huh, I'll look. I thought there was

2344
02:01:54,520 --> 02:01:56,760
one out there somewhere. Why did pep Why do we

2345
02:01:56,800 --> 02:01:58,640
get rid of drive ins? Because people were sneaking? People

2346
02:01:58,680 --> 02:02:00,920
in the cars are making less money. Remember there was

2347
02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:02,199
a reason. I don't know what it is. I don't

2348
02:02:02,199 --> 02:02:04,600
think it was because a crime probably that I mean,

2349
02:02:04,720 --> 02:02:06,520
and you just bring your radio and pick up the

2350
02:02:07,720 --> 02:02:09,439
They get a chair and sit in the outside.

2351
02:02:11,680 --> 02:02:11,880
Speaker 8: God.

2352
02:02:12,159 --> 02:02:13,920
Speaker 1: Ah, I used to love drivings when I was a kid.

2353
02:02:14,119 --> 02:02:17,760
This one says there's one off of navigation. Oh, I

2354
02:02:17,760 --> 02:02:19,119
wouldn't go there, new chance?

2355
02:02:19,319 --> 02:02:19,600
Speaker 7: Why not?

2356
02:02:19,720 --> 02:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Matt Well worried about getting No, No, what's the problem.

2357
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,359
I believe it's a heavy crime area. There's a very

2358
02:02:26,399 --> 02:02:28,920
nice Big City Wings on Navigation there is, and it's

2359
02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:31,439
great to go to. So you know, we'll do Ross.

2360
02:02:31,439 --> 02:02:32,960
We'll go, we'll go to the driving, then we'll go

2361
02:02:32,960 --> 02:02:35,800
to Big City Wings. After that I'll go to one

2362
02:02:35,840 --> 02:02:37,279
of the Mexican joints on you can go there. I'm

2363
02:02:37,279 --> 02:02:38,479
gonna go to one of the Mexican one of the

2364
02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:43,079
thousand Mexican joints on navigation. All right, So the Astros

2365
02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:47,239
have an off day today. It's kind of nice. Remember

2366
02:02:47,279 --> 02:02:48,800
all the remember that run they were talking about was

2367
02:02:48,840 --> 02:02:51,640
seventeen consecutive games. They getting some Mondays off, the nights

2368
02:02:51,640 --> 02:02:54,239
are off the better schedule. Yeah, it was really weird

2369
02:02:54,279 --> 02:02:55,960
than being Memorial Day off last week was kind of

2370
02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:58,600
weird though. That's okay, Well, why can't they you get

2371
02:02:58,640 --> 02:03:01,319
a holiday. Why can't they, Matt can see their families

2372
02:03:01,319 --> 02:03:03,760
grill it up, because play with your children, because you

2373
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:06,199
should play them a moral day in July fourth and

2374
02:03:06,279 --> 02:03:09,079
Labor Day every year. They're human beings who need those

2375
02:03:09,119 --> 02:03:13,000
days off with their families. Matt, I support the Astros

2376
02:03:13,039 --> 02:03:15,079
being off on Memorial Day. The Astros had nothing to

2377
02:03:15,079 --> 02:03:16,239
do with. You don't need to be well, you don't

2378
02:03:16,279 --> 02:03:17,920
need to be doing pre and post game anyways. You can

2379
02:03:17,920 --> 02:03:19,680
hang out with your family too. It's funny because I

2380
02:03:19,680 --> 02:03:23,479
would be I am the holiday worker. You are, like

2381
02:03:23,520 --> 02:03:25,720
I'm telling them Clanton, not so much, but you are man. No,

2382
02:03:25,840 --> 02:03:28,079
I mean no, you know what I think. I think

2383
02:03:28,079 --> 02:03:29,880
the rest of the year Adams should do every holiday.

2384
02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:31,640
So when they have a July fourth game, that will

2385
02:03:31,680 --> 02:03:33,560
be on the pre and post July fourth, Labor Day,

2386
02:03:33,680 --> 02:03:37,079
Labor Day, five Day, President's Day, Columbus Day, slash, what

2387
02:03:37,119 --> 02:03:39,039
do they call it else? What Indigenous People's Day? I

2388
02:03:39,119 --> 02:03:42,520
believe it is as well. Whatever is everybody's day any

2389
02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:44,720
if there's any day anybody's holiday, Adam Clam's doing the

2390
02:03:44,760 --> 02:03:47,840
Hispanic Heritage Day. We'll get them on that. We got

2391
02:03:47,840 --> 02:03:51,880
our schedules, we got our Junie schedules, and all I

2392
02:03:51,960 --> 02:03:53,680
kept saying was Adam and animal. They're working a bunch.

2393
02:03:53,720 --> 02:03:55,920
Oh it's in our time slot. That's fine, that's good.

2394
02:03:57,199 --> 02:04:01,560
Appreciate them. Great job. Two to six the A team

2395
02:04:02,039 --> 02:04:04,880
you're on sports Stock. Seven to ninety. Sadly, Tennessee lost

2396
02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:11,279
to Texas to nothing. Suck it, Tennessee. Is this an

2397
02:04:11,319 --> 02:04:15,640
elimination superball? I don't know. No, they played seven? That

2398
02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:20,279
they played? Yeah? Seven? Yeah, I want you cry, loser.

2399
02:04:21,119 --> 02:04:23,119
Those girls from Tennessee is crying and you're making fun

2400
02:04:23,159 --> 02:04:25,159
of it. I'm just kidding. So they're playing for the

2401
02:04:25,159 --> 02:04:28,680
World chap. They're playing the World Series Championship, their World

2402
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:31,600
third championship. Guess what, They're gonna lose Oklahoma again because

2403
02:04:31,600 --> 02:04:33,840
everybody loses Oklahoma. Man, they're a dynasty. Man, What do

2404
02:04:33,880 --> 02:04:35,760
you mean to say? We also it doesn't it doesn't hurt.

2405
02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:40,359
They play their series every year in Oklahoma City. That's true.

2406
02:04:40,399 --> 02:04:42,199
They get a home field advantage. You know what, I'm

2407
02:04:42,279 --> 02:04:44,239
arning for Texas. You know who gets really mad about that?

2408
02:04:44,359 --> 02:04:47,159
Didn't didn't Gordy tweet about that?

2409
02:04:47,479 --> 02:04:47,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

2410
02:04:47,680 --> 02:04:52,199
Speaker 1: You got with people. Apparently there is a OU Softball

2411
02:04:52,279 --> 02:04:55,600
Twitter and they are a furious bunch. They hate Gordon,

2412
02:04:55,720 --> 02:04:59,680
they hate Chris Gordy, but his point is correct. They

2413
02:05:00,279 --> 02:05:02,840
they have a big softball culture, but they hold it

2414
02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:05,720
there every year because the taum's huge. Yeah, they're gonna

2415
02:05:05,720 --> 02:05:07,920
sell tickets and then the Sooners are likely going to

2416
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:09,600
be in it every year and they're gonna make a

2417
02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:12,840
bunch of money. Look at how big I act like

2418
02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:16,119
it's not a home field advantage is ridiculous. It's like

2419
02:05:16,159 --> 02:05:19,199
how every year the the the Big Twelve Basketball Championships

2420
02:05:19,239 --> 02:05:21,880
is in Kansas City and it's ninety percent Kansas fans.

2421
02:05:21,880 --> 02:05:24,479
And guess what happened this year? University of Houston won't

2422
02:05:24,479 --> 02:05:26,920
have to stop that Kansas ass. Yeah, and then they

2423
02:05:27,039 --> 02:05:29,920
choked in the championship. But then it was a tough loss,

2424
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:32,319
very questionable. Fishating down the stret turn the ball over,

2425
02:05:32,399 --> 02:05:34,520
he can get a shot off. But yeah, by the way,

2426
02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:37,359
he turn those girls off. They're crying. They're not so

2427
02:05:37,479 --> 02:05:39,920
upset a great season. B No, it's about a motion, Matt.

2428
02:05:40,079 --> 02:05:42,439
It's not the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat.

2429
02:05:42,520 --> 02:05:43,840
I've seen a lot of defeat in my life. I

2430
02:05:43,840 --> 02:05:48,760
don't want to say are L Thomas they don't call

2431
02:05:48,800 --> 02:05:52,119
me the L and your meant Matthew L. Thomas. That's true,

2432
02:05:52,199 --> 02:05:55,439
that's true, but not for that reason. Seven one three

2433
02:05:55,520 --> 02:05:58,399
two one two five seven ninety seven one three two

2434
02:05:58,479 --> 02:06:01,199
one two five sevenointy tight. Kyle's in Paarland at one

2435
02:06:01,279 --> 02:06:07,239
ten on seven high, Kyle Cale Cale You there, hey, Kyle?

2436
02:06:07,640 --> 02:06:07,840
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2437
02:06:09,359 --> 02:06:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, sir? Oh well you sharing me now? No,

2438
02:06:14,840 --> 02:06:18,359
maybe speak louder, go ahead, speak as loud as you can.

2439
02:06:19,279 --> 02:06:20,720
Are you calling from a submarine?

2440
02:06:21,920 --> 02:06:22,000
Speaker 8: No?

2441
02:06:22,319 --> 02:06:26,479
Speaker 1: Calling from the blimp? So somewhere? All right? What you got?

2442
02:06:27,039 --> 02:06:31,399
You hear me better than that? But go ahead, just

2443
02:06:31,399 --> 02:06:33,760
start say what you need to say.

2444
02:06:35,359 --> 02:06:35,760
Speaker 2: Anyway.

2445
02:06:35,800 --> 02:06:37,439
Speaker 1: Matt You know I've listened to you for years, and

2446
02:06:37,520 --> 02:06:39,880
I thank you and I are brothers from another mother.

2447
02:06:41,279 --> 02:06:44,319
That's disurving. Now I'm going to tell you why.

2448
02:06:44,479 --> 02:06:47,119
Speaker 11: We're both of course etched cougars, which is way better

2449
02:06:47,159 --> 02:06:47,920
in Texas.

2450
02:06:48,319 --> 02:06:51,279
Speaker 1: Uh. We both like the McRib yes, sir. Both love

2451
02:06:51,319 --> 02:06:54,600
to gamble, Yes, both love to gamble. Both love Barry

2452
02:06:54,640 --> 02:06:59,680
manlot yeah oh wow? And and uh I understand that

2453
02:07:00,079 --> 02:07:02,199
Playing is one of your favorite movies, and it's my

2454
02:07:02,279 --> 02:07:05,479
favorite comedic movie of all time. What's your favorite movie?

2455
02:07:05,520 --> 02:07:07,840
Of all time. It's probably my favorite movie of all

2456
02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:10,359
times because I leaned towards comedies more than I mean,

2457
02:07:10,439 --> 02:07:12,479
there's some dramas that I do enjoy, but I like

2458
02:07:12,560 --> 02:07:16,159
to look at funny movies much more. You know, man,

2459
02:07:16,199 --> 02:07:18,119
how many times did you have to watch it to

2460
02:07:18,159 --> 02:07:20,880
get every joke? You miss things? I've watched it probably

2461
02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:22,960
one hundred times, and I still catch things every time,

2462
02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:26,640
like I yeah, and thank you for the phone call, Kyle.

2463
02:07:27,960 --> 02:07:36,000
Things like the pamphlet for American Jewish Athletes the greatest

2464
02:07:36,079 --> 02:07:38,199
huge athletes. It was in a pamphlet on a plane.

2465
02:07:38,520 --> 02:07:42,239
That's stuff I didn't catch right away. Okay, I didn't

2466
02:07:42,279 --> 02:07:44,439
know what it was like for the girl to say

2467
02:07:44,479 --> 02:07:46,119
I and everyone with a man before until I was

2468
02:07:46,119 --> 02:07:48,159
older and figure that out. And you figure these jokes

2469
02:07:48,199 --> 02:07:50,880
out when you get older. Yeah, and the red zone

2470
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:53,399
and the oh, it's just I don't want to talk

2471
02:07:53,399 --> 02:07:56,560
about it. This makes me laugh, Okay. Terrible acting by

2472
02:07:57,399 --> 02:08:01,920
Kareem Abdujabar. No, he's been dragging. He's been dragging bobble

2473
02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:04,159
on near up and down the court for ninety four feet.

2474
02:08:05,760 --> 02:08:08,399
Subpar acting performance, but great movie. I'm with you, one

2475
02:08:08,399 --> 02:08:10,279
of the great all Time comedies, Thank you very much.

2476
02:08:10,399 --> 02:08:12,600
One of the few things we agree with. Airplane two

2477
02:08:12,880 --> 02:08:15,800
probably a major disappointment compared to how great airplane was.

2478
02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:17,399
I never never didn't catch them. They were on a

2479
02:08:17,399 --> 02:08:19,319
space ship and Sonny Bono was trying to explode it

2480
02:08:19,319 --> 02:08:20,880
with a with a he brought a bomb on the

2481
02:08:21,239 --> 02:08:23,239
on the space and then he ran into a tree. No,

2482
02:08:23,439 --> 02:08:25,319
well I didn't really, No, that was not running in

2483
02:08:25,319 --> 02:08:27,359
a tree. Well, while he was skiing, he was running

2484
02:08:27,359 --> 02:08:35,960
into a tree. God, you are so insensitive. Just there's

2485
02:08:36,079 --> 02:08:43,720
evil in your heart. There really is. Uh, how are

2486
02:08:43,720 --> 02:08:46,560
we gonna make it this summer? We're gonna be great. Actually,

2487
02:08:46,640 --> 02:08:48,640
we're gonna be more entertaining than these other folks. I'm

2488
02:08:48,640 --> 02:08:50,439
telling you right now. Are you sure of this? Yes,

2489
02:08:52,279 --> 02:08:57,039
I've been entertained. Are you not entertained? We could do

2490
02:08:57,079 --> 02:09:01,840
a text and o TA review. No house CJ shrouds

2491
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:06,079
with said the shoulder update, but them up in all Honestly,

2492
02:09:06,079 --> 02:09:08,800
they better not be a shoulder update, because if he

2493
02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:12,199
doesn't throw at any camp, then anybody with an alarm

2494
02:09:12,199 --> 02:09:16,119
should hit it. Whin CJ ready to throw? No, no, no,

2495
02:09:16,159 --> 02:09:18,960
we're not doing that yet, hopefully because because even Aaron

2496
02:09:18,960 --> 02:09:23,720
Wilson said that nothing. Don't worry about nothing. There's Nick

2497
02:09:23,800 --> 02:09:30,680
Cayley said, nothing to worry about. So Nick Hayley, Nick Kyley, Kaylee. Okay.

2498
02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:34,359
Now to be confused with drag Hayley in the comments,

2499
02:09:34,720 --> 02:09:38,000
I don't know who that is. One thirteen on Sports

2500
02:09:38,039 --> 02:09:41,600
Talk seven ninety seven one three, two, one two five,

2501
02:09:41,800 --> 02:09:46,239
seven ninety So I'm setting if you're on, Alvarez gets

2502
02:09:46,239 --> 02:09:48,640
back by September the first. I'll be pleased. That's a

2503
02:09:48,640 --> 02:09:51,520
month to get ready for the playoffs. Okay, because guess what, Ross,

2504
02:09:52,159 --> 02:09:54,119
I'm stealing a bit from Adam Waxer. The Astros are

2505
02:09:54,119 --> 02:09:56,920
making the playoffs this year, and I'll explain it next.

2506
02:09:57,199 --> 02:10:02,199
One thirteen on Sports Talk seven ninety back on The

2507
02:10:02,199 --> 02:10:05,239
Man Thomas Show with Ross here on way Haley in

2508
02:10:05,279 --> 02:10:07,720
the comments, not Jack Haley in the comments. I made

2509
02:10:07,720 --> 02:10:11,159
the mistake as soon as I said it was that

2510
02:10:11,159 --> 02:10:13,920
Back to the future. Where was that? No, it was

2511
02:10:13,960 --> 02:10:17,840
a movie, oh Bill Haley in the commets. Rock around

2512
02:10:17,840 --> 02:10:19,960
the Clock was the most famous song. Oh man, what

2513
02:10:20,039 --> 02:10:22,520
a great one. All right, back to sports because that's

2514
02:10:22,560 --> 02:10:24,680
what people know. By the way, if you want to

2515
02:10:24,760 --> 02:10:27,159
join us and not correct our stuff, which is the

2516
02:10:27,359 --> 02:10:29,479
I mean, I feel like the show should be fully correctable.

2517
02:10:29,479 --> 02:10:32,720
At any more moment. You're a mistake, call us on on it.

2518
02:10:33,359 --> 02:10:37,560
We're not perfect, certainly, not not even close, not close

2519
02:10:37,600 --> 02:10:40,039
to close seven one three, two, one two five seven.

2520
02:10:40,359 --> 02:10:43,199
So Adam Wexler brought up this bit on their show

2521
02:10:43,600 --> 02:10:45,640
Is it a Thursday or Friday? When I was listening, Okay,

2522
02:10:46,640 --> 02:10:50,119
and I think they're I think Wexer hit on the head.

2523
02:10:50,880 --> 02:10:53,319
They're only gonna be I mean, he's playoff spots of

2524
02:10:53,359 --> 02:10:58,399
there in Baseball six six plate. We don't care about

2525
02:10:58,439 --> 02:11:01,239
the National League. Okay, no, we don't. He came up

2526
02:11:01,239 --> 02:11:04,359
with seven teams playing for the division for playoff spots,

2527
02:11:04,960 --> 02:11:07,840
and six of the seven are gonna get him, obviously, right, Yes,

2528
02:11:08,720 --> 02:11:11,880
it's either going to be it's gonna be the Yankees

2529
02:11:11,880 --> 02:11:14,720
in the American League East mm hmm, because they're laid over

2530
02:11:14,760 --> 02:11:16,600
Toronto's five and a half games. But Toronto is not

2531
02:11:16,640 --> 02:11:19,199
a legitimate contender to fit to And I don't think

2532
02:11:19,239 --> 02:11:21,079
Boston's gonna come back their eight and a half out.

2533
02:11:21,079 --> 02:11:24,119
Bregmant's gone for another handful of weeks. I don't really

2534
02:11:24,119 --> 02:11:25,840
think Tampa Bay is a Thread. They're nice, but they

2535
02:11:25,840 --> 02:11:29,119
don't have enough pitching. I don't think, okay, and Baltimore's

2536
02:11:29,119 --> 02:11:31,680
already done for the season. So there's one playoff spot.

2537
02:11:33,159 --> 02:11:34,800
The Tryt's gonna have a playoff spot. That got the

2538
02:11:34,840 --> 02:11:36,800
best wreck in the American League and somebody has to

2539
02:11:36,840 --> 02:11:40,640
win that division. Then you have three teams fighting for

2540
02:11:40,720 --> 02:11:45,920
the wild card, Cleveland, Minnesota, and Kansas City. So that's

2541
02:11:46,279 --> 02:11:52,159
four teams, two divisions. Okay, okay, Yeah, and maybe you

2542
02:11:52,199 --> 02:11:54,600
could consider Toronto, because Toronto maybe a wild card. So

2543
02:11:54,680 --> 02:11:56,760
let's put two in the East, two in the East,

2544
02:11:57,159 --> 02:11:59,079
three in the Central. And as you heard me on

2545
02:11:59,119 --> 02:12:02,039
to tell the truth early today, I believe Wex when

2546
02:12:02,079 --> 02:12:03,720
he says there's only gonna be a two team race

2547
02:12:03,720 --> 02:12:06,800
between Seattle and Texas, between Seattle and Houston. So that

2548
02:12:06,880 --> 02:12:10,439
adds two more. That's soul of seven teams for six

2549
02:12:10,439 --> 02:12:15,199
playoff spots. Here we are June first, twenty twenty five.

2550
02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:19,640
There are seven teams ross in the American League fighting

2551
02:12:19,840 --> 02:12:21,760
for six playoff spots. I think the Rangers are going

2552
02:12:21,840 --> 02:12:23,680
to have a round five hundred this entire season, if

2553
02:12:23,680 --> 02:12:26,319
not further below. I don't count the Angels. I don't

2554
02:12:26,319 --> 02:12:30,000
count the A's. I don't count the White Sox we

2555
02:12:30,039 --> 02:12:33,079
are in. Maybe Kansas City could sneak in. I mean,

2556
02:12:33,119 --> 02:12:37,159
obviously they're close. Maybe you could. You could have stretch

2557
02:12:37,199 --> 02:12:40,279
it out to eight teams. But in theory you have

2558
02:12:40,359 --> 02:12:44,640
probably eight teams the very most, fighting for six playoff spots.

2559
02:12:45,000 --> 02:12:49,880
That's why as long as the Astros do something and

2560
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:55,520
Jordan Alvarez comes back at some point, the playoff streak

2561
02:12:55,560 --> 02:13:02,199
for the Astros should continue. You're gonna find fault with something.

2562
02:13:02,920 --> 02:13:06,359
That's fine. I can live with that. You said Detroit,

2563
02:13:06,399 --> 02:13:10,720
New York, Seattle, or in Houston for divisions. Mm hmm.

2564
02:13:11,520 --> 02:13:13,479
Tampa Bay is only one and a half out. You

2565
02:13:13,520 --> 02:13:15,880
said you don't think they're gonna do it. I don't think. Basically,

2566
02:13:16,079 --> 02:13:17,760
only get you only gotta win. What did what did

2567
02:13:17,800 --> 02:13:18,439
the uh?

2568
02:13:18,600 --> 02:13:18,760
Speaker 8: Well?

2569
02:13:19,000 --> 02:13:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean eighty four win? Teams have gotten wildcards before

2570
02:13:21,960 --> 02:13:24,359
last year eight. I think the last year uh the

2571
02:13:24,399 --> 02:13:27,520
last wildcard was eighty six. I'm gonna disagree with you

2572
02:13:27,560 --> 02:13:30,439
and Wex. All right, so you're throwing Tampa Bay in

2573
02:13:30,479 --> 02:13:32,720
the mix. Tampa Well, they're in the mix right now.

2574
02:13:32,960 --> 02:13:34,399
I'm saying by the end of the season, they're not

2575
02:13:34,399 --> 02:13:36,119
gonna be in it. I'm gonna say they're gonna drop out.

2576
02:13:36,159 --> 02:13:38,479
They're gonna fall so far out of the race. I

2577
02:13:38,479 --> 02:13:41,720
think with the nature of the third wildcard, generally it

2578
02:13:41,880 --> 02:13:44,399
keeps a lot of teams in towards the end, right,

2579
02:13:45,079 --> 02:13:47,840
and the Astros are one of those teams. I'm just saying,

2580
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:51,880
I am very, very bullish on the Astros returning to

2581
02:13:51,880 --> 02:13:54,399
a playoff spot. Now, am I saying they're gonna win

2582
02:13:54,399 --> 02:13:55,239
the America League West?

2583
02:13:55,279 --> 02:13:55,319
Speaker 2: No?

2584
02:13:55,800 --> 02:13:57,680
Speaker 1: Am I saying they're gonna have one of the best records. No,

2585
02:13:58,439 --> 02:14:04,600
but unless this team continues to suffer additional injuries which

2586
02:14:04,640 --> 02:14:07,600
could happen. Which could happen, And I do believe the

2587
02:14:07,640 --> 02:14:09,680
Astros will make some sort of move to get a

2588
02:14:09,760 --> 02:14:12,199
left handed bat and or a starting pitcher. They have

2589
02:14:12,279 --> 02:14:14,800
to make those moves. Yeah, this is a lot of contingencies. No,

2590
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:16,840
I don't think it's guaranteed. The Ashers are in at all.

2591
02:14:17,039 --> 02:14:18,920
Your two games ahead of the Rays, who just outscored

2592
02:14:18,960 --> 02:14:22,640
you thirty to nine in a series, but the scoreboard

2593
02:14:22,680 --> 02:14:25,119
said two games apiece. Yeah, right, so then yeah, I

2594
02:14:25,119 --> 02:14:26,960
don't say I see how we can say, oh, well,

2595
02:14:27,159 --> 02:14:28,239
the Rays are going to be out of it. But

2596
02:14:28,239 --> 02:14:30,279
the Astros are going to be in. They just they

2597
02:14:30,319 --> 02:14:32,359
just tripled your score line. I'm going to go off

2598
02:14:32,359 --> 02:14:34,800
of the recent history of the race competitive for a

2599
02:14:34,800 --> 02:14:36,880
while and then bow out. Okay, well I'm gonna go

2600
02:14:36,920 --> 02:14:39,199
off of the I'm going very recent history of the Rays.

2601
02:14:39,319 --> 02:14:41,560
They they really pounded you over the weekend. You were

2602
02:14:41,640 --> 02:14:45,920
lucky to get displayed in that series. Talk about took pitching,

2603
02:14:46,000 --> 02:14:47,760
took a walk over. Well, there weren't much pitching in

2604
02:14:47,800 --> 02:14:52,399
two of those games. Hey, from Bervaldez from guess what

2605
02:14:52,479 --> 02:14:54,239
Fromer won in two hours and six minutes? Well, what

2606
02:14:54,279 --> 02:14:56,800
about the raise line up the other two games? So yeah,

2607
02:14:57,000 --> 02:14:59,680
Fromber and Hunter were great in those two games. That

2608
02:14:59,680 --> 02:15:01,960
you want on a walk off in a one to

2609
02:15:02,119 --> 02:15:06,680
zero game as well. But uh, I'm not just gonna

2610
02:15:06,680 --> 02:15:08,279
say the Astros are in the thick of all this

2611
02:15:08,359 --> 02:15:10,199
and the Rays are out. I'm gonna tell your right

2612
02:15:10,239 --> 02:15:13,880
now because mine glass is half full. Okay. Meanwhile, Battle

2613
02:15:13,920 --> 02:15:16,359
Redd is already thinking about Texans training camp. Yeah, how's

2614
02:15:16,640 --> 02:15:19,600
CJ shouldered update? You're gonna have at least a wild

2615
02:15:19,680 --> 02:15:22,199
card team in Houston, Texas. I agree with you. I

2616
02:15:22,199 --> 02:15:23,960
think they'll at least be a wild card, but also

2617
02:15:24,359 --> 02:15:25,720
be home either. Could they also could be on the

2618
02:15:25,760 --> 02:15:28,760
road too, more than likely on the road. You got

2619
02:15:28,760 --> 02:15:32,119
starting pitching issues right now. Lance Pillers Junior hopefully goes

2620
02:15:32,119 --> 02:15:34,600
out there and he's good again. Can give you another

2621
02:15:34,680 --> 02:15:38,079
quality start. Yep, they're going after a pitcher they need

2622
02:15:38,119 --> 02:15:41,640
top Nightingales even alluded to it with with what resources,

2623
02:15:41,920 --> 02:15:46,520
how quality of a pitcher you're looking for? Probably a

2624
02:15:46,640 --> 02:15:50,960
use taking Coochie type. Okay, well that worked out daytime.

2625
02:15:51,039 --> 02:15:54,279
Think about how that trade worked out. Now, would you

2626
02:15:54,439 --> 02:15:56,600
like to get somebody that's got years left in his contract?

2627
02:15:56,680 --> 02:15:59,640
I think probably that's going to cost you more. It is,

2628
02:16:00,399 --> 02:16:02,840
but it costs you at this point nothing. Wagner's done

2629
02:16:02,840 --> 02:16:06,319
nothing as a major leaguer. Jake bloss is hurt, and

2630
02:16:06,479 --> 02:16:11,840
uh is still hanging out in Buffalo wherever they play. Yeah,

2631
02:16:12,079 --> 02:16:14,199
he loves Buffalo. Actually I don't think he loves that.

2632
02:16:14,199 --> 02:16:16,079
I haven't checked his numbers. Uh, we can get a

2633
02:16:16,079 --> 02:16:18,199
low Perfrio. Don't we have a low Berfrito? Update sounder,

2634
02:16:19,760 --> 02:16:22,039
don't don't do the on live on the radio. Something

2635
02:16:22,119 --> 02:16:25,800
that means something's positive. Fifty four games, five home runs,

2636
02:16:25,840 --> 02:16:28,760
His numbers are getting better. It hitting said, ops of

2637
02:16:28,800 --> 02:16:32,559
seven eighty seven at Triple A. At Triple A, how's

2638
02:16:32,559 --> 02:16:35,079
Will Wagner doing it as a blue jake? Oh? Last

2639
02:16:35,200 --> 02:16:37,760
I saw he was hitting like one eighty nine, and

2640
02:16:37,959 --> 02:16:39,920
I think, do you get sent back down? I can't

2641
02:16:39,959 --> 02:16:46,399
recall worked with Jays this year. He's hitting six in

2642
02:16:46,520 --> 02:16:51,440
twenty games and has to check his game. You're make

2643
02:16:51,520 --> 02:16:53,600
me pull up Will Wagger game logs. I'm I'm mad

2644
02:16:53,639 --> 02:16:56,760
at you. Yeah, he must be down with it. He

2645
02:16:56,840 --> 02:16:58,719
must be done back down in Triple A or hurt

2646
02:16:58,760 --> 02:17:01,079
or something, because he hadn't hit with the big league

2647
02:17:01,079 --> 02:17:04,000
club since April twenty seven. Oh so he's been gone

2648
02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:06,840
for a while. Okay, so yeah, I would expect a

2649
02:17:06,920 --> 02:17:09,879
back end rotation guy, but probably a guy that's got

2650
02:17:10,120 --> 02:17:11,600
not necessarily mileage on.

2651
02:17:11,680 --> 02:17:12,159
Speaker 4: In the arm.

2652
02:17:12,239 --> 02:17:14,319
Speaker 1: But at least we have a track record ross of

2653
02:17:14,399 --> 02:17:17,440
him being a guy that can throw six innings making

2654
02:17:17,520 --> 02:17:19,959
the area of four ish somewhere in that range. You

2655
02:17:20,079 --> 02:17:23,319
have to get that pitcher and it has to work out.

2656
02:17:23,559 --> 02:17:26,200
Hunter Brown and Fromer have to keep doing their thing. Okay,

2657
02:17:26,239 --> 02:17:28,200
here's the thing, trying to hold the glue together with

2658
02:17:28,280 --> 02:17:31,239
Gusto and Gordon and well, the one thing about this

2659
02:17:31,280 --> 02:17:34,120
series that Diget exposed is that the Astros bullpen is good.

2660
02:17:34,440 --> 02:17:37,120
It's not immune from giving up a bunch of runs.

2661
02:17:37,399 --> 02:17:40,159
You can't. They've used them so much in the last

2662
02:17:40,200 --> 02:17:43,200
twenty five days that you'd had to have thought at

2663
02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:45,399
some point they're gonna be one or two games in

2664
02:17:45,479 --> 02:17:47,360
a stretch where they were gonna get beat up, and

2665
02:17:47,399 --> 02:17:51,399
they did. Yeah. By the way, Forrest Whitley, nice guy,

2666
02:17:51,520 --> 02:17:55,920
but it's not going to pan out for him. You

2667
02:17:55,959 --> 02:18:00,120
call him DFA DFA Whitley. If I was Brendan Rodger,

2668
02:18:00,479 --> 02:18:03,440
if I was Forrest Whitley, I wouldn't be thinking about

2669
02:18:03,440 --> 02:18:08,840
real estate, and if I were the Astros. Even though

2670
02:18:08,840 --> 02:18:12,120
Descendo just one of the injured list, and even in

2671
02:18:12,239 --> 02:18:13,959
Chas mccarmick is the injured list too, right, I think

2672
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:16,879
they added both. Yes, yeah, yes, if Chas gets back,

2673
02:18:16,920 --> 02:18:18,959
I would try to showcase him. I think you could

2674
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:22,440
get I'm not talking about a meaningful player, but something

2675
02:18:23,079 --> 02:18:26,559
to help you showcase and Chas McCormick going the same

2676
02:18:26,600 --> 02:18:29,360
sentence is a little tough. I don't. I don't think

2677
02:18:29,399 --> 02:18:31,159
you're literally going to give him away. It's one of

2678
02:18:31,159 --> 02:18:34,760
my point, is Astros bullpen or e RA, at least last

2679
02:18:34,760 --> 02:18:37,280
week was second in baseball. Now it's all it's back

2680
02:18:37,319 --> 02:18:40,280
to ninth. That's a that's a too terrible performance will

2681
02:18:40,319 --> 02:18:42,200
do to you. That's crazy. That's what ERA is the

2682
02:18:42,319 --> 02:18:46,200
greatest relievers, But to keep bringing it up, So that's

2683
02:18:46,200 --> 02:18:50,000
on me. What about expecting that you go with x FIP.

2684
02:18:50,120 --> 02:18:52,360
X FIP is their eighth so it's a little better.

2685
02:18:52,719 --> 02:18:59,680
Nobody cares field independent pitching. It's a good metric. That's fine.

2686
02:19:00,760 --> 02:19:02,879
It's more about heart hit contact, you know, because ERA

2687
02:19:03,040 --> 02:19:03,600
can be wonky.

2688
02:19:05,559 --> 02:19:05,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2689
02:19:06,520 --> 02:19:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, going from second best ERA to ninth best r

2690
02:19:09,879 --> 02:19:12,440
bullpen in one weekend is gonna do that to you. Yeah,

2691
02:19:12,479 --> 02:19:14,000
you give up three singles and get out of the game,

2692
02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:16,680
and then a reliever covers your ass and your ERA

2693
02:19:16,680 --> 02:19:18,639
a zero. If he lets those guys score, then you

2694
02:19:18,680 --> 02:19:22,159
area blowns It's it's it's ERA sucks. Yeah, may most baseball.

2695
02:19:22,440 --> 02:19:27,159
Most baseball numbers just irritate you, right, you know, just

2696
02:19:27,200 --> 02:19:30,239
batting average in ERA? Yeah, all right, seven one three

2697
02:19:30,319 --> 02:19:33,520
two one two five seven ninety seven one three two

2698
02:19:33,639 --> 02:19:37,159
one two five seven nine zero. If you want to

2699
02:19:37,159 --> 02:19:39,520
follow us on Twitter at sports Empty and at sports RV,

2700
02:19:39,639 --> 02:19:43,000
believe it or not today coming up in uh twenty minutes,

2701
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:50,239
what is the category NBA on the TNT thirty six years? Rip?

2702
02:19:50,920 --> 02:19:53,520
May they rest, But I mean it's still gonna be

2703
02:19:53,559 --> 02:19:56,840
the same guys. It's gonna be different guys calling games

2704
02:19:56,879 --> 02:19:59,799
on Yeah, Like Kevin Harlan's going to Amazon, Iron Eagles

2705
02:19:59,799 --> 02:20:04,600
going into Amazon. You know who Tarrico is. I mean great,

2706
02:20:04,639 --> 02:20:09,040
you're gonna have recognizable people calling games for sure, Believe

2707
02:20:09,079 --> 02:20:11,520
it or not. Coming up here in a moment, we'll

2708
02:20:11,520 --> 02:20:16,479
be on the NBA on tn T closing its doors

2709
02:20:16,559 --> 02:20:21,479
kind of as NBC and its properties. Of course, Peacock

2710
02:20:21,639 --> 02:20:27,479
and Amazon taking over some NBA stuff. NBA on NBC

2711
02:20:27,879 --> 02:20:30,159
also going to be on Sunday nights. That's pretty smart

2712
02:20:30,159 --> 02:20:33,120
by NBC trying to take over Sunday nights basically all

2713
02:20:33,159 --> 02:20:35,520
throughout the year what we always tune in for Sunday

2714
02:20:35,600 --> 02:20:37,319
night football and the big games. They're gonna try to

2715
02:20:37,319 --> 02:20:39,680
do the same thing with T and T. I think

2716
02:20:39,719 --> 02:20:41,959
it's a good idea. Just appointment set Sunday night. You're

2717
02:20:41,959 --> 02:20:45,000
a sports fan, just flip it onto NBC and you're

2718
02:20:45,079 --> 02:20:47,959
going to be good. Ross v Reale with you on

2719
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:51,399
the Matt Thomas Show, sometimes with Matt, but mostly with Ross.

2720
02:20:51,559 --> 02:20:55,680
Our boss was talking about LSU baseball little rock today.

2721
02:20:55,799 --> 02:20:58,280
Oh that's big one huge. Oh you can't call them

2722
02:20:58,319 --> 02:21:00,440
markanso Al little rock. They're just little rock. Why, I

2723
02:21:00,440 --> 02:21:02,639
don't know. They're trying to get like uh the raging

2724
02:21:02,719 --> 02:21:04,639
Cajuns are trying to get rid of the I'm sorry

2725
02:21:04,639 --> 02:21:07,239
you're you are u A L. R. McNee states no

2726
02:21:07,319 --> 02:21:10,000
longer in the state. It's very confusing. It's going on

2727
02:21:10,000 --> 02:21:11,879
with this. It is odd. It is odd. All right, Well,

2728
02:21:11,879 --> 02:21:14,159
so there you go, wishing LSU baseball the best time.

2729
02:21:14,200 --> 02:21:16,920
I'm going let's go a little rock, all right, little

2730
02:21:17,000 --> 02:21:19,719
rock for life. You SEC people are so arrogant and

2731
02:21:19,719 --> 02:21:25,799
you think you should Texas, Oklahoma, Auburn, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Florida.

2732
02:21:26,399 --> 02:21:28,639
How about the Florida in Mississippi State is arrogant? How

2733
02:21:28,639 --> 02:21:31,559
about the Florida coach ripping the crap out of the

2754
02:22:32,559 --> 02:22:35,440

02:22:35,440 --> 02:22:39,840
former LSU Tiger. Yes, there is a viral video going

2756
02:22:39,879 --> 02:22:43,280
around of a bunch of dudes that are making bets

2757
02:22:43,319 --> 02:22:46,120
about Angel Reese missing her first shot per game. She

2758
02:22:46,280 --> 02:22:50,719
love so I watched the latest one and she made

2759
02:22:50,719 --> 02:22:53,799
her first shot and those guys lost their mind. By

2760
02:22:53,799 --> 02:22:55,879
the way, you cannot, I don't know. It's a it's

2761
02:22:55,879 --> 02:22:58,840
a it's a fake bit. You cannot bet on a

2762
02:22:58,879 --> 02:23:01,440
person to miss their first shot. Yes, you can where

2763
02:23:01,879 --> 02:23:04,639
on the sports books? No you, Yes, you can't. We're

2764
02:23:04,639 --> 02:23:06,639
not going. You cannot go to Lake Charles and bet that.

2765
02:23:06,760 --> 02:23:09,360
I'm sorry you. I bet you can. You go to

2766
02:23:09,360 --> 02:23:11,239
that kiosk. You know how many bets are on that key.

2767
02:23:11,319 --> 02:23:13,600
I will bet you a steak dinner on that. You

2768
02:23:13,639 --> 02:23:17,120
cannot bets the first shot? Yeah, mister, make first shot,

2769
02:23:17,399 --> 02:23:19,879
absolutely no change. You can bet on everything you and

2770
02:23:19,920 --> 02:23:22,280
I can make that side bet. I'd be all for that. No, yeah,

2771
02:23:22,319 --> 02:23:27,520
you can. These gambling sites have everything now, Matt, I'm

2772
02:23:27,559 --> 02:23:30,200
still I will bet you the stake. I want you

2773
02:23:30,239 --> 02:23:32,719
to go to to Uh, well, you can't. We don't

2774
02:23:32,719 --> 02:23:34,760
have a sponsor like Charles, So I'll just saying just

2775
02:23:34,760 --> 02:23:37,440
just pick a random casino. Can you bet it? And

2776
02:23:37,680 --> 02:23:39,639
you can bet it on those offshore bet you know

2777
02:23:39,680 --> 02:23:42,239
those betagg the line or whatever the goofy ass stuff is.

2778
02:23:42,280 --> 02:23:45,719
But you cannot. You cannot go to a casino. You

2779
02:23:45,719 --> 02:23:49,120
cannot go to Caesar's and bet you throw the regular window.

2780
02:23:49,200 --> 02:23:51,319
But these kiosks that have all the bets or the apps.

2781
02:23:51,319 --> 02:23:55,840
Absolutely is that what you're saying. I'm saying you cannot

2782
02:23:55,840 --> 02:23:59,239
walk to a teller. Maybe maybe the kiosk. All right,

2783
02:23:59,520 --> 02:24:01,760
you better that. The point being is that this has

2784
02:24:01,799 --> 02:24:04,559
become a viral thing, is that they're watching her miss

2785
02:24:04,600 --> 02:24:07,399
all these first shots and then the finally the one

2786
02:24:07,440 --> 02:24:10,239

ever have figured out a way to at least win

2893
02:30:20,319 --> 02:30:25,479
fifty four fifty five games. They are at nine and

2894
02:30:25,680 --> 02:30:30,639
fifty at June first. That's fifty nine games they're gonna

2895
02:30:30,680 --> 02:30:32,280
have to go if they're gonna try to get to

2896
02:30:32,479 --> 02:30:34,559
you know, sixty and one oh two is wretched right

2897
02:30:36,319 --> 02:30:40,600
for them to go sixty and one oh two, they're

2898
02:30:40,600 --> 02:30:43,239
gonna have to go fifty one and fifty two of

2899
02:30:43,239 --> 02:30:45,920
the red. They have to play five hundred baseball just

2900
02:30:46,000 --> 02:30:53,280
to get to sixty losses. Don't sleep on this being

2901
02:30:53,840 --> 02:30:58,559
maybe the worst team. Now, we've seen NFL teams go

2902
02:30:58,639 --> 02:31:02,879
win sixteen before, but the next worst thing would be

2903
02:31:02,920 --> 02:31:05,120
probably what the Colorado Rockies are gonna try. This would

2904
02:31:05,120 --> 02:31:08,200
be the equivalent of them going one and sixteen in

2905
02:31:08,239 --> 02:31:10,680
the NFL. This tanking is out of hand in baseball.

2906
02:31:12,239 --> 02:31:14,479
If it was only take a lottery now, don't they?

2907
02:31:14,920 --> 02:31:17,200
Uh yeah, but it's not really tanking more or this

2908
