1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: This is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross ten oh two, Nahetown.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,560
Good morning, and welcome to a Wednesday edition of The

3
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:18,679
Matt Thomas Show with Ross. This is Sports Talk seven ninety.

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,760
You know, rossa, they don't make instrumentals like they used to.

5
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,920
I don't even really watch this show, but I love

6
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,119
this song. I have very little context for this show

7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,479
or this song, but I mean I was gonna go

8
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,679
with thanks up being a friend by the Golden Girls theme, Okay,

9
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:46,880
I know that one. I mean we could pull a

10
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,759
way more Golden Girls that had did Miami Vice. Can

11
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:52,600
I just tell you what can happen sometimes at the house,

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,159
Like if you're looking, like, for instance, last night, the

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,200
Astros had finished about what eight thirty five, eight forty,

14
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,119
and you're like, you need an hour to kill before

15
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:02,679
the news comes on, if you were to watch such

16
00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:06,239
a thing. Okay, so I'm flipping around and I already

17
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:08,519
watched my story so that I couldn't you watch those

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,760
Yankees Rangers and was on? Uh you know, I did

19
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:14,879
not even take a look at that. I should probably

20
00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:17,040
should have because you could have hate watched the Rangers.

21
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,920
But that means you love watching the Yankees so it's

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,680
a tough spot. Look, I listen. I hate listen radio.

23
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:24,680
I can't hate watch TV. I hate watch The Rangers

24
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,319
all the time. So you can flip around and I'm

25
00:01:29,239 --> 00:01:31,159
I mean, there's a damn Golden Girls on the Hallmark

26
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:33,079
channel or whatever, and I mean you can laugh your

27
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,840
ass off. I don't know how it's been able to

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,400
stand the test of time, but obviously, I mean they

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,640
play like multiple hours of the show. It's it's really

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,920
for a show that wasn't meant for It was meant

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,200
for a certain demographic. There are like twenty year olds

32
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,079
that think The Golden Girls is hystericois it's a timeless classic, Matt,

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,480
I disagree with you.

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: I watched the episode in twenty years. Okay, I get it,

36
00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:00,359
but I mean, it's just it's basically, it's like it's

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,079
like a frat house for women. You have the slut, okay,

38
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:07,560
you have the naive girl, and you have the one

39
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,000
that tries to rain them in, and then you got

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,319
the mother who's just kind of overbearing. It's it's a

41
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:14,120
really damn funny show. And that's how we introduced to

42
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:16,680
you a Wednesday ed issue of the Matt thomashell Ross

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,159
Rossie a little under the weather. If you need to

44
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:22,039
go home at any point, I'm not gonna begrudge you

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,639
because it's looked like to try to stick it out.

46
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:27,360
You looked very you, at least from your tweet last night.

47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,080
You were very cranky on the Old tenth Dy Show. Well,

48
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,439
a peek behind the curtain, I told you I had

49
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:35,840
kind of some soreness throat. You know, you could kind

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,000
of tell the colds coming on. Absolutely, you get throat

51
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:41,639
soreness the day one and then it worsens day two.

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,800
That's why if you get drainage today that I got

53
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:48,879
drainage and soreness. Well, that's why I'm not looking at you.

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,719
So for one, I don't get the germs and two

55
00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:53,439
shahaties on and I need to wipe this whole thing

56
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:55,639
down for Adam Weixer about two o'clock. Don't let me

57
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,599
forget okay, apologies in advance, And if Wax was listening

58
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,479
to show, which he probably isn't, he didn't even knowing

59
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:03,439
this viruses and or bacteria. So yeah, I'm gonna try

60
00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:05,319
to make it. I'm getting my coffee. I'm a little

61
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:07,039
fatigued for sure. It might have to do like a

62
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,759
little uh cherry cherry on top, extra cup of coffee.

63
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,120
Get going today, but I'm gonna power through. I think

64
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:16,400
Matt okay, Tomorrow, we'll see okay. So I gotta rest

65
00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:18,919
up for Talied Oh Friday, Wei gonna be Italian Brewing.

66
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,599
I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna buy you a paddle

67
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,360
ball of beers. I've been saying paddle all week. Why

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,120
am I saying? Because I'm thinking about the paddles. What

69
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:30,560
I'm thinking? And there is a game. It's a pick

70
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,879
a ball paddle and yes, there is paddle ball. Is it?

71
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,439
Is it comparable to pickle ball? Isn't paddleball the one

72
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:38,240
you play up against the wall. No, that's racketball. That's racketball.

73
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:41,439
What is paddle ball? Did I just make up a sport?

74
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,319
Is it like ping pong? I don't know. Point we're

75
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:46,680
gonna be. We're gonna be a Talire Brewing. Everybody's got

76
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,599
to get a paddle of pickleball, paddle of beer to

77
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,360
enjoy while we do the show on Friday from ten

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,240
to two and then the Astros played at six. It's

79
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,439
an Apple TV game. So if you don't have apple.

80
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,159
You can stay there and have a couple of pints

81
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:01,319
in there yourself. I might just be sick and get

82
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:03,719
out of there. We'll see fair enough, all right, So

83
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,080
back to your your aggravation. Can you read your Twitter police?

84
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:12,240
Oh would you like me to context play at sports RV?

85
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:16,519
So I was tweeting about the Astros, and then of

86
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,040
course I did one of my kind of favorite genres

87
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,560
of tweets that I put out met is when people

88
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,959
say stupid stuff for a long time and then they

89
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:29,959
get proven wrong. I like to say tough day, tough

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,079
couple games. Love it. So yesterday I put tough couple

91
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,199
of games for Fire the hitting coaches guy a lot

92
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,439
this year, Fire the hitting coaches guys having a couple

93
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,319
of rough games because the hitting is looking pretty good.

94
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,560
So then people are arguing with me about, oh, it's

95
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,560
just the Marlins. Who cares, It's just some marlins. And

96
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,680
this is the same fan base that when they the

97
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,199
Astros play against bad teams which they had a winning

98
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,319
record against by the way, they they normally win, but

99
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:03,600
if they look other harm but it's the worst thing

100
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,600
in the world. They can't beat bad teams. And then

101
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,560
when they beat bad teams, which, by the way, this

102
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,079
is another discussion for another time. The Marlins aren't a

103
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,639
bad team. They just finished sleeping the Yankees. They won

104
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,240
nine over the last eleven. They're one of the best

105
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,439
teams in baseball since June. They're not a bad team.

106
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,839
And then multiple people going to me on Twitter egenasing.

107
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:31,639
Speaker 3: The Marlands up, conversation malands e victory, limping the Morlands,

108
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:33,279
shut Oba mess up.

109
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody got time for any other If you're gonna

110
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,079
get all mad when they lose the teams below five hundred,

111
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:43,639
then we can celebrate a win against anybody. And again,

112
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,519
do your research. Take five seconds of paying attention to

113
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,920
current baseball right now and know that the Miami Marlins

114
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,160
are not a bad team. I like your droopy dog.

115
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,079
I could do a duopy dog too. As road we

116
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,680
eat the Morlands, tu story games. Can they win in

117
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,279
South Florida three east straight?

118
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:03,519
Speaker 4: Oh?

119
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:05,959
Speaker 1: If they win that, they're probably gonna lose the series.

120
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,759
And Bill Bronx, that's fantastic, man, ten out of ten.

121
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,319
It was great. I'm really happy. Listeners are really happy

122
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:19,120
you did that. So anyway, Grouchy RV is in the house. Today.

123
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,319
I love this. I'm not gonna take anything you say

124
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,240
it to me personally today. Good you shouldn't ever. Actually

125
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,199
you know, I respect and I love you. There you go.

126
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,040
Funny that So my tweet is funny that the same

127
00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:33,480
sector of the fan base that laments the Astros can't

128
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:35,600
beat bad teams is saying, who cares about these wins?

129
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:38,959
It's the Marlins Christ some of you are insufferable and

130
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,240
that how that go over?

131
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: Uh?

132
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty nine likes most people? Twenty seven

133
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,319
replies most of them, if not, no, not all of them.

134
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,399
I would say, of the twenty seven replies, like, twenty

135
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:57,160
three of them are supporting me. And then there are

136
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:03,720
some people like it's just the Moon's just horrible. And

137
00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:06,560
then there's this guy, Randy. I want to be nice.

138
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,040
He's normally nice, and he always complains about the hitting coaches.

139
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,759
So when I put out tough games for higher fire,

140
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,680
the hitting coaches guy, he always responds he thinks that

141
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:19,279
Troy Snicker and Alex Santron are these bumbling fools, even

142
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:22,000
though they've both been at the Helm since twenty nineteen,

143
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,040
and since then, the Astros have been a top five

144
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,319
offense in baseball over that span. They're like ten to

145
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:31,720
oh ps this year. And that's with your not Alvarez

146
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:34,800
missing the entire season most of the year, Yanar Diaz

147
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:38,720
underperforming alongside Christian Walker as well up and down season

148
00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:41,959
from Jose Altuve. And they've still been, i mean, a

149
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,199
very good above average offense for the balance of the season.

150
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,639
How stupid can these people beat? And this is the

151
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,079
problem that I run into, is that we can never

152
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,439
Almost everybody who's an Astros fan has been an Astros

153
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,079
fan for multiple years unless you're like six years old.

154
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:01,120
So can we have a little bit of of watching

155
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,120
one hundred and sixty two game season and writing the

156
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:06,959
ebbs and flows and not overreacting to every little thing

157
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:13,079
that happens. I'm gonna ask you a question, and it's

158
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:15,519
you don't get involved in it because, Okay, we want

159
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,199
to take some time. I'm drinking some coffee. Yeah, we

160
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:23,560
take ourselves out of this. So we have to paint.

161
00:08:23,839 --> 00:08:26,000
We have to walk a slippery slope. You heard that

162
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,480
phrase before? Yeah, yes, Well, slippery slope is like when

163
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:32,919
one you're giving someone an inch and they take a mile, right,

164
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,080
Like our geopolitical systems aw about this, we walk a

165
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,120
fine line. Oh that's even better. You walk the line

166
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:46,360
like Johnny Cash exactly. Okay. So our jobs are to

167
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:51,480
talk to the people of Houston, Texas, and if you

168
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,799
take the opportunity to talk to us, we filled honor

169
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,720
because you have alternatives. You could talk to another radio station,

170
00:08:57,799 --> 00:09:01,720
which you're gonna talk astros emails forget about that. Secondly,

171
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:03,399
you could talk to your neighbors. You can talk to

172
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,360
the online community. Right, You've got avenues to go besides

173
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,639
the airwaves at are seven ninety am. So we really

174
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,600
do appreciate the fact that you've chosen us as your

175
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,200
place to give us your commentary. Now here comes Here's

176
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:27,039
where you walk the line. The line is the commentaries

177
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:30,759
that we get. Sometimes you just and I brought this

178
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,519
up the other day. You want to bang your head

179
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:41,639
against the wall because it's alarming concerning both A and

180
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,480
B that there are some people that just have horrific

181
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,480
baseball takes. So that's the line we walk here on

182
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:53,559
the Matt Thomas shol Ross, it's the line we walk,

183
00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:55,759
especially when we do the tenth inning shows what you

184
00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:57,240
did in the last two nights and I'll be doing

185
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,320
tonight after hopefully the asteris sweeping, might be Miami Marlins.

186
00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:04,600
So what so what are we supposed to do? If

187
00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:07,120
I said only smart baseball calls come in, then I

188
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,159
would only then it would limit the number of people.

189
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:15,080
If I said anybody can call any in, which we do,

190
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,360
then I'm supposed to I'm going to be mad and

191
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,720
yelling people, and I probably yell at one person. Pretend

192
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:22,480
any show. I think I was a two. This good

193
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:24,679
for it? Because the Red Sox were sweeping the Ashtros.

194
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,200
It tends the number goes up if the Astros lose. Right,

195
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,240
So here's my question that I will throw out. We'll

196
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,480
do this a couple of times. But I just thought

197
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,240
about this as you were rambling there, m Hey, not rambling,

198
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,720
you were ranting. Come on, man, okay, one to ramble?

199
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:46,480
What do y'all do when we're not here? Like if

200
00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:49,840
there's no tell on Facebook? You woke up this morning

201
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:51,519
at eight o'clock and had a cup of coffee in

202
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,759
English muffin, and you were sitting with your family, or

203
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:57,600
you were on a conference call with your office, or

204
00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:00,000
your bros got together on a on a group chain.

205
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,399
How do you do it, smart Houston fan? How do

206
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,039
you do it when you have a dumbass on your

207
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,000
group chat, in your Facebook group, on your phone, on

208
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:19,360
your zoom or unfortunately, maybe in some situations sometimes in

209
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:23,279
your home. Oh that's true, some bad fanom in your

210
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:26,360
family sometimes. So let me ask you this not mine,

211
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,480
not mine, well my old it's got some questionable takes.

212
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,559
How do you do it? How do you do how

213
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,639
do you have a conversation when the term the astra

214
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,519
need to bunt more comes into play, or you hear

215
00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:48,759
the astros have to fire the hitting coach or the

216
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:51,720
astros have got to fire Joe Spot. How do you

217
00:11:51,799 --> 00:11:54,519
handle that? Because you know what I've been doing this for.

218
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,399
You're we in twenty twenty five. You've been in a

219
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,120
business for four years. Yeah, thirty four years. I've been

220
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,480
in around radio. That's a long time. That's a very

221
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:06,639
long time. Matt, very proud of you. So I think

222
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,080
I know how to do it. But the key to

223
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,039
being thirty five, thirty seven, forty years is always adapting

224
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,279
to the new ways that a business has created. Uh huh.

225
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,600
So I want to know from you, the great people

226
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,840
of Houston that have chosen to listen to this show

227
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,759
for entertainment, sports, whatever you whatever we can give to you,

228
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:30,600
how do you do it? Because sometimes, like I'll be

229
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:32,679
at the Kingwood Home Studios doing the tenth Inning Show

230
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,639
and I'm yelling at people and my wife wont sentence.

231
00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:39,759
Is everything Okay, She's trying to go to sleep, she's

232
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,759
trying to catch on th she's like the latest season

233
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:44,440
I need. Yeah, she's watching the Real Housewives of Said

234
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,080
City and it's interfering with her because I'm yelling at people.

235
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,519
You're yelling more than the women on that show. That

236
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:52,559
is true. So the question I have is how do

237
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,399
you do it? How do you how do you handle

238
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:57,480
a situation where you have the smart baseball take and

239
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,600
the person you're having a conversation with is having a

240
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,279
dumb baseball take. Because unfortunately, even though we are in

241
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,320
twenty twenty five, and even though the Astros have been

242
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,759
so uber successful, are baseball like you, especially in the

243
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:14,399
Astros Twitter verse, is real really really really low? Seven

244
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,679
one three two one two five seven ninety seven one

245
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,200

00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,159
from me all this morning. Seven one three two one, two, five, seven, Auntie,

248
00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:29,039
it's a Matt Thomas should ross at ten to sixteen

249
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:35,519
here on Sports Talk seven ninety along with the Entrepreneur

250
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,080
Sports RV. I'm Matt nice, have you with us? So

251
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,840
the Matt Thomas shield ross. So just my last point

252
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,480
about this and we'll go down to some more important

253
00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:45,000
things like the Astros winning yesterday. That's the most important.

254
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,320
They won two games in a row, folks, Lauren, Ah right,

255
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,759
can you for five seconds for what? I need? More

256
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:56,559
than five seconds? Probably? Probably not? That's true? All right?

257
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,399
Oh god, if I turn right, I'm gonna get sick.

258
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,799
If I'm a turn left. Hot looking at me. Put

259
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,240
on some match game or something. You know, Soccer season

260
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:07,159
is coming. We got a day game at noon. We're

261
00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:10,240
going to get soccer season back pretty soon. World Series

262
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,279
right now, these boys going crazy. Premier League's coming back

263
00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:13,480
in like a week and a half. We got a

264
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,840
new I got a new baseball game too, so we're good.

265
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:17,919
I just in the heat of the night is on?

266
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:22,279
No little oh three is company? Oh that's not good either.

267
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,960
That's back and what makes you rest? All right? So

268
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:26,120
American pickers, that's a good one. All right? Back to

269
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:28,799
it so uh. I had to call her Allan that

270
00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:33,720
called the show. UH want to say, uh, Sunday okay,

271
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:36,399
and he's he was so nice. He ses, I listen,

272
00:14:36,519 --> 00:14:38,879
thank you very much. I appreciate it, like so nice.

273
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,799
And then he says, he says, you know, this coach

274
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,759
needs to bunt more. And I said, and I'm paraphrasing

275
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:47,759
he because I'm taking look reading off my tweet. I said,

276
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,639
it's the manager and not the coach. And by the way,

277
00:14:51,679 --> 00:14:55,080
you shouldn't. He's giving away outs for a team that's

278
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:58,080
offensively at times challenge and he goes, I'm not talking

279
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,279
about the manager. I said, coach Mauricio Dubon tried to

280
00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:05,480
bunt last night and got thrown out. Tried too, I

281
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:07,240
got some I got a bun hit in this series,

282
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,720
so that's fine. I mean, there are some guys that

283
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:10,799
can do it. And I'm not saying that bunting is

284
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,720
a completely lost art decision should not be a preferred art. No,

285
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:15,519
I don't think you want your number three hitter, which

286
00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:19,440
Alt is, and he goes, Rowe generally just and he

287
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,960
kind of look, he's he's bunting is his base, right,

288
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:23,919
He's a made man. He can do whatever he wants.

289
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,600
So so Alan says, I'm not talking about the manager.

290
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,559
I said coach. I said, well, of course, which coach?

291
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:34,000
And he says, I don't remember his name. Now do

292
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,840
you think Omar Lopez is calling this and as the

293
00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:38,000
bench coach? So what I figured out after I talked

294
00:15:38,039 --> 00:15:40,240
to him, after I yelled, and my wife Randon's like,

295
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:42,559
you know, you're interrupting my Real Housewives of Orange County,

296
00:15:42,559 --> 00:15:46,000
which I said is gretchen On because that's my girl.

297
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:52,559
Oh did I get you sick? Hey? Folks, all right,

298
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,600
follow me on Instagram? At no, if you follow him Instagram,

299
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:58,840
you're gonna get sick today. That's what it's sick. It's

300
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,200
not uh, the disease is not commutable through the internet.

301
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,440
I believe it can be all right, So I think

302
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:09,320
our caller, Allen got the general manager confused Dana Brown

303
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,679
with the coach, who is Joe A. Spotta, who all

304
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:15,759
of you know is the manager. Okay, So I'm just

305
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,000
that's where I think the confusion came into play. But

306
00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:21,919
it was just it was aggravating and I'm just after,

307
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,519
you know, look, we still have to fight the wave here.

308
00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:30,840
It's been rareer. I think maybe wavebusters might actually be working.

309
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:34,360
Thank you to all of you that follow me on Wavebusters.

310
00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:38,039
Wavebusters h o uton is the account hashtag burner account.

311
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,120
Oh it's a burner for sure. Although with all the

312
00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:42,919
people that blocked me, I don't I don't have to

313
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,679
worry about going to that wave Buster's account to see

314
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,000
their stuff because that's I can just see it on

315
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:49,879
my own stuff. It just says this person's blocked. But anyways, anyways,

316
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,120
so and I think we've got to finally do this

317
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,200
next year. We need to have a Wavebusters ho United

318
00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:57,679
the astrosk can, don't you think? Oh with the getting

319
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:00,000
the shirts printed up? The shirts printed up will get

320
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,960
you got to get an entire section, the entire section.

321
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,919
Now you're going to give these tickets away? No, they'll

322
00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:05,400
pe aple have to pay for I don't you get

323
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,079
a group discount?

324
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 5: Yeah?

325
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:08,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, some money. Once you talk to your boy Jimmy C.

326
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,200
I don't call him Jimmy C. What up. I've called

327
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,000
him jim before, but I never called him Jimmy C.

328
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,079
Maybe he insists you call him JC or how about

329
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:21,480
He probably would say mister Crane's better, which is fine.

330
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,880
I call him mister Crown. I don't care. Call him

331
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,680
Big Game James. That's what I call him, all right,

332
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,799
So we'll get the whole section together, and so we'll

333
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:29,079
do it during the summer time because that's when the

334
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,319
wave is in its most popular. Yes, and George guy

335
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,039
is going to be miserablecause he's going to see one

336
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:37,359
whole section of the stadium not moving. George are coming back,

337
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,160
by the way, No, they're not with a certain sector.

338
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:44,440
What sector would that be, Broski, Oh my god, I

339
00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:48,079
know things go cycle in cycles. I don't know. The

340
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,960
mustaches came back. It was remember it was the short

341
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,039
shorts in the eighties and the long shorts in the nineties,

342
00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:57,279
and now the short shorts are back. Short shorts have

343
00:17:57,559 --> 00:18:00,000
been back for a while. The Georgs, I just can't.

344
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,480
I I just don't get it. I don't get that

345
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:07,839
at all. Okay, I don't know. You haven't wanted me, No,

346
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,160
I haven't. I am very out of fashion everything. I

347
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,599
warn I've bought something like twenty eleven, well twenty eleven things.

348
00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:18,079
You got no problems, shah, thank you? All right, it

349
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,680
was a cycle back. What you're wearing today, Yeah, it's

350
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,119
probably sweatfans. Sweatpants and a T shirt never goes out

351
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,759
of style. Look what I'm wearing today? Seven one, three,

352
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,799
five seven. So the Astros did win yesterday, Yes, dang it,

353
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,000
Jose stop hitting home runs? Why would he do that?

354
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:37,079
Why can't he just bunt? This is a couple. Then

355
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,960
this real quick on bunting. And I said this, I

356
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,880
think yesterday, when were you out? What's today? Today's Wednesday? Wednesday?

357
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,880
And I was out Monday, and I just basically did

358
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,720
another PSA. Folks, you have thirty teams, they all have

359
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,880
analytics teams, they all have people who are in research

360
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,960
and development. You're talking about millions and millions of dollars

361
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:01,640
spent on a maximizing win probably and doing the absolute

362
00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:04,880
best of what is going to help them win ball games.

363
00:19:05,079 --> 00:19:09,160
So you're talking about these thirty teams. Over these thirty however,

364
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,640
many years since bunting has come out of vogue, have

365
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:14,279
spent all this money and time figuring out how to

366
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,799
the best way to win games. And they figured out

367
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:20,000
that bunting less is good. So you need to take

368
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,839
five seconds of critical thinking and realize that they know

369
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:29,519
better than us. Thank you. Okay, So back when I

370
00:19:29,519 --> 00:19:31,920
was saying, so Altube went deep yesterday, which is fine,

371
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,359
better bunted, but no, I would have taken a single,

372
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,319
double triple. Yeah, your Diaz went deep again. He's only

373
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,920
three off the home run lead. Let's go remember that's

374
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,000
an all timer. If I know, it's not an all time,

375
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,680
it's a gut filing that I don't put your name.

376
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,920
If you to put your name on it, I know chance,

377
00:19:51,839 --> 00:19:53,720
but it's a gut film that I will. I will

378
00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:57,880
let you remember the rest of our adult paradus. But

379
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,519
uh yeah, was he got sixteen and al Twov has nineteen.

380
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,640
Jordan has been out the entire year. Walker's been trash yep, Okay,

381
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,400
he hasn't been trash, but no, but he's got fifteen.

382
00:20:09,599 --> 00:20:11,440
By the way, I don't look like you're past Walker

383
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,200
for good. Al Tuo Bay's ops now at the eight

384
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:18,119
oh four. He's oh yeah, he hit like he's in

385
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,799
like over three point thirty. For the last month and

386
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:26,400
a half, we haven't really been talking about it doing

387
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,759
pretty good. Can we say that again? We're talking about

388
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:32,079
to you. Can we imagine we have to do this

389
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,119
when we come back. Can we build a lineup with

390
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,119
the Ordon back. It's sexy as hell. Okay, are we

391
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,960
building the line He's coming back? Are we building it

392
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,759
with Jake Myers too?

393
00:20:43,319 --> 00:20:43,559
Speaker 6: Oh?

394
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,839
Speaker 1: If you want, Although it's probably the e's a pretty

395
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:47,720
easy interchangeable.

396
00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:48,039
Speaker 6: Yeah.

397
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: I think Jake Myers, Taylor, Tremmelle, Dubon are gonna be

398
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,400
running around. Sorry, even though Jake Myers is having a

399
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,519
better season than everybody. We're gonna go to God's Country, Lubock, Texas.

the Today Show this morning the amount of fast food

423
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,680
restaurants spicy up their menu. I was just looking at

424
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,559
the Rendy's commercial, okay about adding taki to their burgers

425
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:10,680
and stuff in the efforts to make things spice. No,

426
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:12,559
I was that was a lie. Yeah, but they make

427
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:14,960
it fast food spicy. It's not ever really really spice.

428
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:18,279
I mean, there's now a good tay food or Hey, Jonathan,

429
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,559
you go to Rick Ronald's. Do you get have you

430
00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:24,960

431
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:28,119
sounds horrid. I'll get this spicy chicken though. Oh that's

432
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:35,319

433
00:22:35,559 --> 00:22:38,160
Oh okay, yeah, it's not real spice though, but you

434
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,279
know what I mean? Yeah, it's like go ahead, white

435
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:44,400
people spice go and you were gonna say it knock

436
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,160
it out. I was, I think trying to think of

437
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,119
a more diplomatic way to say white people spice. That's

438
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,519
what he said. I didn't stutter either. I knew upset.

439
00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:57,200
You read my mind fifteen years ross. Come on, now,

440
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,720
let's go to the phones and talk to Bob and

441
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:07,480
love Bob. Good morning, h this is Bob. I'm in Houston.

442
00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:09,359
Well it says Lubbock, so you must be in Lubbock.

443
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 7: I spent a month there, and it's like Katie.

444
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,319
Speaker 6: That's what it's grown into.

445
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,599
Speaker 7: It's about the size of Katie, same type of h

446
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,160
you know, retail places.

447
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 8: But uh, anyway, Uh.

448
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,759
Speaker 7: Matt, you know, I'm going to paid time off and

449
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:26,880
I listened to a lot way too much sports radio,

450
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,119
and I you know, I was listening with that cat

451
00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:32,359
called and didn't know the difference between a manager and

452
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,400
a coach. And I guess when I was in a

453
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,000
little league, we call them coaches.

454
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 9: I think that's what it was.

455
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 7: But maybe maybe he was just.

456
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:41,599
Speaker 8: In a time war for something.

457
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 7: But Matt, you know what, dude, your screeners aren't helping

458
00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:49,279
you out after in attend any shows They're allowing a

459
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:53,920
lot of inebriated callers through, and I think it just

460
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,279
makes your job more challenging. I don't understand just because

461
00:23:57,279 --> 00:23:59,200
they're Astro fans that.

462
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:00,599
Speaker 2: They have act says to you.

463
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 6: I mean, if they're drunk, they're drunk.

464
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: Well, you know what we do the show, yeah, Bob. Unfortunately,

465
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,640
we can't check blood alcohol levels when people call it.

466
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,319
So I mean, have you ever been on the phone.

467
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,240
I don't know. Do you drink or Bob, you're on the phone.

468
00:24:13,319 --> 00:24:14,160
You've been drunk before.

469
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,319
Speaker 7: One time I waited four hours for an Oilers before

470
00:24:20,319 --> 00:24:22,319
an Oilers game, and I drank my ass off. I

471
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,160
was so drunk for when I got on the phone.

472
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: But you know that was then and this is now, right,

473
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,240
I know, I know now you've you've matured in everything.

474
00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:32,799
I understand. Hey, Bob, thank you for the phone call.

475
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:35,559
Go ahead, you finish your point. No, that's it.

476
00:24:35,759 --> 00:24:36,519
Speaker 10: You do a great job.

477
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you for nice to hear for you

478
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:44,319
from you when I was a kid. My mom's at home,

479
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,400
so she's resting, hopeful, she's doing okay. I talked to

480
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,960
her this morning. Uh when when when you would she

481
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,119
would call you it's when cell phones were first and

482
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,119
plane you had too many pops. You could sober up

483
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,599
on the phone, could you not? You could try to

484
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,640
an extent. Oh, let me tell you. You don't pick

485
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,240
up the phone. I want your mom. But I mean

00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:04,200

492
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:19,839
Rossfelt Oriol's forty years of life, you've been on the

493
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:21,119
phone with your mother and you've had too much a

494
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,720
drinking now guarantee it. I mean I've had to step

495
00:25:23,759 --> 00:25:27,880
out of Bible study. But that's really about it. H

496
00:25:28,079 --> 00:25:33,759
good line. I will say I don't mind drunken, dumb

497
00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:37,759
callers on postgame shows because I've done a lot of

498
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:39,359
postgame shows of zero callers.

499
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:39,519
Speaker 8: Man.

500
00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:43,839
Speaker 1: Well, here's the here's that we would and I'm in

501
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,319
made this in all sincereto. We'd rather have you than

502
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,559
not have you. Yes, but we now have a little

503
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:53,240
more guidance to say, if there's nobody calling, we're gonna

504
00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:55,680
end was We're not gonna sit there and talk to ourselves. Uh,

505
00:25:56,039 --> 00:25:59,599
we're all stretched here at the radio station, some of

506
00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:04,680
them more. Yeah, Matt is very stretched out. Matt, you

507
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,200
aren't even gonna say that, were you. I didn't say

508
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,079
stretched out. I just said stretched. Yeah, you see, just

509
00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:12,720
trying to incite stuff. That's fine. He's in the sickness.

510
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,519
He's always trying to start stuff. So we're not going

511
00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:18,920
to go longer than we have to because people want

512
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:24,640
to hear their Ben Mallar at night. But yeah, in general,

513
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,880
on postgame shows, I give a massive leash because I

514
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:35,799
I've done dozens of mostly rockets and but the occasional

515
00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:38,160
astros and Matt. You know this back in the day

516
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,960
in twenty thirteen, fourteen, where nobody cared and nobody called

517
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,200
so and and honest, the another honest reality of it

518
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,759
is the postgame radio call in show is not nearly

519
00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:52,200
as popular as it was even five or ten years ago.

520
00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:54,279
That's right. So if you take the time to listen,

521
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:57,200
and you take the time to call in, yeah, yeah

522
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,680
you're drunk, Yeah you got a bad opinion. Let's let

523
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,680
it rip and just know that we're going to make

524
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,200
fun of you and it's something personal. And then a

525
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,759
good host like for perhaps a Matt Thomas or I

526
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:09,880
would like to say myself, can make make it fun. Oh, absolutely,

527
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,319
and make it entertaining. Generally, sometimes you got nothing to

528
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:18,680
work with d like for tonight, I mean at ten

529
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,079
point fifteen, if somebody's calling with black ass takes, I'm

530
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:23,359
just gonna end the phone call. I I if I

531
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,359
was a young of a nubie doing this, like look

532
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,759
at the host of Post Game Show, and then I'll

533
00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:30,000
be talking to anybody. I can get better stuff to do. Yeah,

534
00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:32,240
you can make it entertaining. You can make it fun,

535
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,440
and also dumb callers make it easy for me to

536
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,680
look smart. It does. We come across the geniuses, and

537
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,640
if you've many the one of us, well, Ross is

538
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,519
someone educated. And I don't know how I got through

539
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:43,640
you of age, I don't know, but oh you bribe

540
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,279
your professors. That is accurate. Just one okay, and it

541
00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:49,799
was a big bribe. Two it wasn't cash. It was

542
00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:52,400
sports tickets. But those of you that are O g's

545
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,880
I would to talk about a j blue ball hitting

546
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,480
ninety eight of the gun over and over. You are

547
00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:07,160
we like? You like his arm was worried about his

548
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,119
arm dropping off. Uh, well, we'll see. He was just

549
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,799
letting it rip because he knew he was the ope

550
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:15,680
of the headliner to the opener. I'm keeping pushing that.

551
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,440
I'm pushing the headliner agenda, Matt, and I'm not going

552
00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:18,880
to stop on it. What you say? And I need

553
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,480
a ruling on this. Uh are we going to go

554
00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:23,559
with the blue ball jokes? Or are we going to

555
00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:26,720
be mature? We already know. Hognuts started talking about blue

556
00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:30,240
balls last week. That's how this whole thing started because

557
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,079
that was his that was his nickname on the track

558
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:37,200
squad blue balls blue but just blue oh, but it

559
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,079
was short for yeah, you know guy, he's cool, proper,

560
00:28:40,119 --> 00:28:42,359
you know, you know. And then his mom calls him

561
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,319
little hog nuts, but I mean calling Cashew, So I'd

562
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:52,640
say that for sure. Hey, just know, a jock stop

563
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:58,039

566
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,880
I used to know speaking of that. You see what

567
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,079
happened the WNA game last night? Again, No, the third

568
00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:16,680
one of those things came out and it hits Sophy

569
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,079
cutting him and she kicked it off the court. I mean,

570
00:29:18,079 --> 00:29:20,920
are people getting arrested for this? One person has been found.

571
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:30,039
The person that did the first drop has not been found. Okay, Andy,

572
00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:34,559
what a year for the WNBA media wise? I mean

573
00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:37,240
it is they've gotten more. Don't you think that they've

574
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,759
gotten more attention this year than they have in the

575
00:29:38,759 --> 00:29:44,400
previous twenty years, Sagan, The w NBA has gotten more

576
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,400
attention this year. Yeah, and the previous two year. Yeah,

577
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,960
the last two years ever since Kaitlyn Clark came in

578
00:29:50,119 --> 00:29:53,839
onto the scene. Yeah, not all it's good attention. No, No,

579
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,880
it's it's yeah. But hey man, any good any publicity

580
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,400
is good publicity. I disagree. I know that. That's why

581
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,799
I said it. I know, And you were just trying

not the ones that are tending to think their meeting

00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,119
he would didn't he have an ankle or foot issue

596
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,799
or something last year? Not that he was expected to

597
00:30:50,839 --> 00:30:52,079
be there. I'm just I'm just throwing that out. And

598
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:54,440
then he ran for like one hundred and fifty yards

599
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,319
in the first week. It's the Colts, so you're gonna

600
00:30:56,359 --> 00:30:58,000
drave him in your fantasy drafts. Would you tell me

601
00:30:58,039 --> 00:31:01,599
he's sliding on my board? Okay, that's fine? Real quick

602
00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:06,759
that you know the Texans playing week one? Right? Have

603
00:31:06,839 --> 00:31:09,519
you forgotten already? Sure?

604
00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:09,839
Speaker 11: No?

605
00:31:10,119 --> 00:31:13,839
Speaker 1: Close? Rams? Okay, Rams, Matthew. This is from Ian Rappaport

606
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,640
four hours ago. As you woke up this morning. Matthew

607
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,400
Stafford dealing with an aggravated disc and has received an

608
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,880
epidural to help him deal with it. Yeah, they're talking

609
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,200
about he's hurt and basically like he's gonna play all

610
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,640
season hurt or something. Is not the sport you want

611
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,680
to play with a back injury. Of rams are calling

612
00:31:30,759 --> 00:31:32,799
him week to week being cautious, but with plans to

613
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:37,240
him to be ready in week number one? Are they

614
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:43,200
the ones with Garoppolos the backup? It is correct? Okay, Now,

615
00:31:43,319 --> 00:31:45,960
what Garoppolo has left in the tank, my guess is

616
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,720
not a whole lot. But if you were to go

617
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,640
to a battle of backups, would you rather have Davis

618
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:57,759
Mills or Jimmy Garoppolo? I get I guess Jimmy Garoppolo,

619
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:03,279
But ask who is the he named wide receiver they

620
00:32:03,319 --> 00:32:07,359
added over the off season. Davante Adams. Remember that movie.

621
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,240
In that movie, the video of him like I don't

622
00:32:10,279 --> 00:32:12,279
want to be here anymore, And it was because Jimmy

623
00:32:12,319 --> 00:32:16,680
Garoppolo was his quarterback. Let me ask you this what

624
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,960
happened to DeVante Adams? Remember he was the most feared

625
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,599
guy in the league. Now all he does is bounce

626
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,279
around from teens early thirties. I mean, yeah, you think

627
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:26,200
it's because he doesn't like people or he gets in

628
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,839
trouble with He'm not in trouble, but like relationship issues

629
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,839
with teams. He's thirty two. Is that what NFL receivers

630
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,319
do at thirty two? Well, unless your name is like

631
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,240
Jerry Rice. Yeah, well he bounced around too, Yeah, but

632
00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:39,359
he was. He still was turning in like thirty one

633
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,960
thousand yard seasons when he was like forty. But I

634
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,200
mean like Raiders, Packers or Alseo, anywhere else did you

635
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,920
go to use all the packers? And then when he

636
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,160
turned thirty, he got a gigantic deal with the Raiders

637
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,759
and then he got traded to the Jets because Aaron Romember.

638
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,400
He did catch touchdown against the Texans, right, yeah, oh

639
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,240
I forgot about Yeah, I didn't forget about that. Actually, Uh,

640
00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:04,440
I wonder where he is on the all time receiving

641
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:07,640
yards list. He's got over he's got close to twelve thousand.

642
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,599
So do okay, So not that our audience cares a

643
00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:14,720
whole lot about Diva, dont am let's put the over

644
00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:18,519
under a twelve hundred yards this year? Well under under okay?

645
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,200
I mean, you got pookin a coop over there? You have,

646
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,759
uh who else that tight end? It's really good. Tyler Higbee. Yeah,

647
00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:30,359
I like him. Okay, he's a right. Yeah, you got

648
00:33:30,359 --> 00:33:33,920
pooka a Longhorn legend. Jordan Whittington to to at well,

649
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,519
Devanta Adams Universitas. They're gonna they're gonna run the ball

650
00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:40,200
a lot with Kayan Williams. They just gave him a

651
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,839
big deal. Right, But Matthew Stafford getting an epidural. I

652
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,880
thought only pregnant women got epidurals. Clearly a mistake. Clearly

653
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,480
you're mistaken. H Davante Adams thirty third on the all

654
00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:55,759
time receiving yards list, just behind Michael Irvin and just

655
00:33:56,079 --> 00:33:59,680
head of Antonio Gates. Okay, Gates was a tight end,

656
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,599
so I'll kick him into the curve. Okay, just ahead

657
00:34:01,599 --> 00:34:06,480
of Don Maynard, Maynard Maynard, Yeap Charge and Calvin Johnson

658
00:34:06,519 --> 00:34:11,719
and Moosen Mohammad. Okay, So Calvin Johnson, Michael Irvin, Devanta

659
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:20,000
Adams rank him one, two, three, Calvin Irvin Adams all

660
00:34:20,039 --> 00:34:25,599
three legendary. Yeah, Calvin's the greatest wide receiver I ever seen.

661
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:26,199
Speaker 2: Colvin.

662
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,639
Speaker 1: He's only there because he quit when he's like twenty nine.

663
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,280
Let me tell you it's it's a strange one. Get

664
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,559
I got. We're going to Toby. I swear the two

665
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:41,760
of the greatest players of the NFL retired early, and

666
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,760
they retired from the same team because they were tired

667
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,760
of losing. Different times. Yes, but Barry Sanders to me,

668
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,199
was the greatest running back I've ever seen playing. Agreed,

669
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:58,760
agreed in person. Uh, Calvin Johnson was unguardable mm hmm.

670
00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:02,480
And he's just like, I can't do this anymore. I'm

671
00:35:02,519 --> 00:35:04,840
tired of losing. Yeah, game is the exact same thing.

672
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,719
He was racking up two thousand yards of like John Kittna. Yeah,

673
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,880
it's pretty good. I mean he had like Daniel Lawski

674
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,519
throwing passes to him. Tell me on seven ninety, tell

675
00:35:14,559 --> 00:35:17,400
me good morning and thank you for holding Oh man,

676
00:35:17,519 --> 00:35:18,199
not a problem.

677
00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 8: Man.

678
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,079
Speaker 9: You the guys working. I'm enjoying Monday off, so I don't.

679
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: Know, I'm waiting around.

680
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,159
Speaker 9: I kind of went the way in a little bit.

681
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,000
I was, Uh, I was listening. I'm driving on the

682
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,960
way home, and uh, y'all were talking about being the

683
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,360
guys to do the postgame shows and having to do

684
00:35:34,559 --> 00:35:37,280
with drunk callers and everything like that and got me

685
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,920
to giggling. I've been I've been blessed to have been

686
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,840
listening to sports radio talk talk shows.

687
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:44,159
Speaker 12: Man.

688
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 9: Literally since like the early nineties. It seemed like every

689
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,760
office I ever shared at the job that I'm at

690
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,199
was somebody who digged listening to a sports talk radio

691
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,480
and everything. And well, of course, you know, back in

692
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,199
the day, man, you know, it seemed like the other,

693
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,000
the other sports radio station in Houston was the one

694
00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:04,800
to listen to. But over the last couple of years,

695
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,880
I've really been enjoying what the format that has done

696
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,360
at y'all station. I noticed a sacrilege to sit here

697
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,400
and say this in the state of Texas, but I'm

698
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,800
not exactly the biggest football fan. I don't have anything

699
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,119
against it. I'm just not the biggest football fan in

700
00:36:20,159 --> 00:36:22,960
the world, and I get bored and listening to NonStop

701
00:36:23,079 --> 00:36:25,360
talk about it. So one of the things I really

702
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,199
enjoy about y'all station is the fact that y'all are

703
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,280
not afraid to talk about the rest of the franchises

704
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,800
in the greater Houston area that have actually won championships.

705
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:41,119
So that's just something that's a caveat there also as

706
00:36:41,159 --> 00:36:43,360
somebody who has a little bit of a smart absence

707
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:48,800
of humor as well. I get real tickled it listening

708
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,800
to y'all having to dissect, you know, some of the

709
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:55,119
people that just call in, myself included. I'm not going

710
00:36:55,159 --> 00:36:57,360
to sit there and say that I've been the perfect

711
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,599
orator every time I've made a phone call, but you know,

712
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,880
it is it is fun to sit back and listen because,

713
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,280
you know, man, personality goes a whole lot away, and

714
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,119
that I think it's really cool that the shows that

715
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,559
I've that I that I enjoyed listening to on this station,

716
00:37:12,039 --> 00:37:16,000
it seems like everybody does have like that onederful dark

717
00:37:16,079 --> 00:37:18,119
sense of humor, a whole lot of wit.

718
00:37:18,639 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 4: So I mean, it is, it is.

719
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 9: It's a lot of fun. This is a fun radio station.

720
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:28,159
And I just I just wanted to call in and say,

721
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,400
man that you know, hey, I dig what you guys do,

722
00:37:32,079 --> 00:37:33,840
and you know, and that's about it.

723
00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: Much appreciated, Toby, thank you very much for the phone call.

724
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,159
First of all, we're never gonna talk about one sport

725
00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:42,719
all day long. That is wretchedly boring. Number two, we

726
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,840
are all incredible smart asses. I might be the worst

727
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,920
of the group. Might but I didn't ask your opinion

728
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,559
over there. I would just make sure that the book

729
00:37:52,599 --> 00:37:55,920
coverlor you want to use that, Okay I am I

730
00:37:56,039 --> 00:38:00,239
am the biggest smart ass of the group. But I

731
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,360
love all my Cope. I don't love all my coworkers.

732
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:07,039
I like most of them. Okay, some might tolerate someone

733
00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:09,559
confused by but that's a different issue for a different time.

734
00:38:10,159 --> 00:38:13,280
We have a good time, we do. And yeah, this

735
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,719
show will never be twenty four hours of astros. It'll

736
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,599
never be twenty four hours of rockets. Now, if they

737
00:38:17,639 --> 00:38:19,280
win championships, then we're going to go with that, but

738
00:38:19,679 --> 00:38:21,199
it'll ever be twenty four hours of text and we're

739
00:38:21,199 --> 00:38:23,000
gonna make it all up. We got some other things

740
00:38:23,039 --> 00:38:25,360
to get to, including Brian Bogocevik cool join us. Next,

741
00:38:25,559 --> 00:38:27,559
I also want to get into what ESPN's been doing.

742
00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:32,159
Do you see what ESPN did yesterday with two big moves? Yeah,

743
00:38:32,159 --> 00:38:33,719
I saw one of them. You're gonna see it. There's

744
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,280
another one came out this morning. Two major moves by ESPN.

745
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,599
Brian Bogacevic. Next, after Ross tells you about Center.

746
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,559
Speaker 12: Jeck's The Matt.

747
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: Thomas Show with Ross ross Is stepped decide for a

748
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,199
couple of minutes. So it's gonna be me and Bogey

749
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,559
for the next ten right here on Sports Talk seven

750
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,559
ninety Bogie is We've talked about for nine million times.

751
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,920
The baseball season can be a roller coaster ride. You

752
00:39:03,039 --> 00:39:05,400
go up to Boston, you watch them lose three games.

753
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,280
You go to Miami and the Marlins beat the Yankees

754
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,880
three straight in their home field, draw huge crowds. The

755
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,519
next two nights, the Astros come in town and the

756
00:39:14,559 --> 00:39:17,960
Ashers have beat them up pretty good. This season has

757
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,719
not made a lot of sense for many reasons, and

758
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,519
I think this last five days is a great example

759
00:39:21,599 --> 00:39:21,760
of that.

760
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 13: No, I totally agree.

761
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 11: You know.

762
00:39:26,039 --> 00:39:29,559
Speaker 13: My first kind of thought and reaction to, you know,

763
00:39:29,639 --> 00:39:31,519
the last week, week and a half is kind of like,

764
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:34,440
let's not get too high on, you know, beating up

765
00:39:34,519 --> 00:39:36,679
on the Nationals and the Marlins. But if you look

766
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,360
at what the Marlins have been over the course of

767
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,719
you know, a good chunk of six to eight weeks,

768
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,159
and what they were doing coming in to this series,

769
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,800
you know, yeahs they looked pretty good against a team

770
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,199
that's been playing really well. And I think it's the

771
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,760
way that they've looked. It's the offense. It's you know,

772
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,679
kind of a different looking team post trade deadline than

773
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,559
than we had seen throughout the course of much of

774
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:03,400
the season. You know, some of that is additioned, some

775
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,679
of that is, you know, Paya coming back healthy. But

776
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,559
I think it's kind of rounding into form. It's certainly

777
00:40:09,679 --> 00:40:12,280
not the team that you think of when you say, okay,

778
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,480
what's our best, but it's definitely a team that is

779
00:40:17,039 --> 00:40:21,000
different for the better than it was maybe three or

780
00:40:21,039 --> 00:40:21,599
four weeks ago.

781
00:40:22,119 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: It is amazing to me. Look, this team, I would

782
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,599
say more times than not, has been offensively challenged. But

783
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,639
there were a night in particular in Boston, we get

784
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:35,280
fourteen hits, and so that's supposed to win you baseball games,

785
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,679
and that just didn't happen. There's one thing about getting

786
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,320
on base, another one getting into scoring. There's really no

787
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,119
rhyme or reason to why that is except for, you know,

788
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,079
sometimes your heard of the line up guys don't come through,

789
00:40:48,119 --> 00:40:50,440
and sometimes your seventh, eight, nine guys come up with

790
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,159
the worst possible times. What is your take on how

791
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,760
this team at least gets sophrenically The last sixty days

792
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,440
has been so up and down offensively.

793
00:40:58,559 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean when you look at the runners in

794
00:41:02,039 --> 00:41:05,280
scoring position numbers, whether it be for an individual player

795
00:41:05,639 --> 00:41:10,599
or a team or whatever, I for one I do

796
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,400
not I try as hard as I can to not

797
00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:17,199
diminish hitting with runners in scoring position because it's not

798
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,559
the same as every other at bat.

799
00:41:18,639 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 6: Right.

800
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,519
Speaker 13: A pitcher is not going to pick you the same

801
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,239
with runners in second and third and one out as

802
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,840
they are with two outs and nobody on.

803
00:41:25,079 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 8: That's a given.

804
00:41:26,199 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 13: You have to be a better hitter to hit with

805
00:41:27,519 --> 00:41:31,400
runners in scoring positions. However, when you're looking at over

806
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,360
the course of time, over the course of the season,

807
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,440
the greatest predictor of can you hit with runners in

808
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,559
scoring position is just can you hit?

809
00:41:39,639 --> 00:41:40,119
Speaker 10: In general?

810
00:41:40,559 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 13: Are you a contact oriented hitter or team do you

811
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,559
hit for average as a team or as an individual hitter.

812
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: And when you have.

813
00:41:48,159 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 13: Situations where you know you're racking up a ton of hits,

814
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,079
you're racking up a ton of base runners, and maybe

815
00:41:53,119 --> 00:41:55,320
for a game or a couple of games, you don't

816
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,480
drive those runners in. That can just be attributed to

817
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,079
it's just baseball. Time to hit a line drive at

818
00:42:01,159 --> 00:42:04,320
somebody with two outs, and you know you don't score,

819
00:42:05,519 --> 00:42:08,320
but over time, if you're doing the right things, eventually

820
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,280
you will hit with runners in scoring position and therefore

821
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,159
score a lot of runs. So when I look at

822
00:42:13,199 --> 00:42:16,400
a team, this team post trade deadline and what the

823
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,679
lineup has been doing in terms of just volume of

824
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,039
quality at bats, volume of guys on base, I think

825
00:42:22,119 --> 00:42:26,360
it's a better a better option, a better chance of

826
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,360
scoring a lot of runs consistently than it was.

827
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,199
Speaker 9: You know, not that too far in the past.

828
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,599
Speaker 1: Brian Bogosovich with us here on seven hunty for his

829
00:42:33,679 --> 00:42:36,599
regular Wednesday visit Bogie. You played with jlse for a

830
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,960
very short time, very young part of his career towards

831
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,119
the end of yours, and then you've watched him as

832
00:42:42,119 --> 00:42:43,880
a broadcaster and as a guy that goes to the

833
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,519
ballparking season first hand. He's still racking up hits. I

834
00:42:47,639 --> 00:42:49,639
think he's gonna get to three thousand hits. It's gonna

835
00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:50,800
take a lot of work, but I think he's going

836
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,000
to get there. But just when people want to all

837
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,239
of a sudden say all right, here comes a significant

838
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,400
downturn and maybe Jose has had that defensively, but is

839
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,320
above eight hundred. Yet again, he's hitting home runs. He

840
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,280
walks into the ballpark with two hits per night. Have

841
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,719
you noticed anything about his swing changing now? Obviously it's

842
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,320
probably slower than it was as a rookie, but he's

843
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,199
still getting on base, he's still making solid contact. Is

844
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,880
there any noticeable difference than maybe even seven or eight

845
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,519
years ago, the wholesale two of a swing that you

846
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:21,960
see now.

847
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 13: I think maybe the one thing you could say is

848
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:30,519
that when he's, you know, hunting for power, he has

849
00:43:30,599 --> 00:43:34,360
to become a little bit more pull dominant than he

850
00:43:34,559 --> 00:43:36,840
was in the past, and in order to do so,

851
00:43:37,039 --> 00:43:39,159
maybe have to have to guess or cheat a little

852
00:43:39,159 --> 00:43:42,880
bit more. But that's I mean, that's a very negligible thing.

853
00:43:43,159 --> 00:43:46,079
Nothing with the swing, nothing with the approach, you know.

854
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,360
I think at some point, especially when you're talking about

855
00:43:50,199 --> 00:43:53,719
this lineup functioning as a as it should, you know,

856
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,760
with everybody back where it should, and he doesn't have

857
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,840
to be a power hitter type of guy, or maybe

858
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,519
later in his when he doesn't have to be that

859
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,480
he still has the ability to rack up a ton

860
00:44:03,519 --> 00:44:05,760
of hits. He can still if he wanted to just

861
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,599
spray balls the other way and get base hits, he

862
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,000
could he could easily do that, but he's trying to

863
00:44:11,079 --> 00:44:12,920
be more of a complete hitter or trying to trying

864
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,320
to hit for power, trying to be in the middle

865
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,000
of the lineup guy. So maybe he has to sacrifice

866
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,559
a little bit of risk of swing and miss in

867
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,440
order to do that. But I mean, that's just hitting.

868
00:44:24,519 --> 00:44:26,119
Sometimes you got to give a little bit to it,

869
00:44:26,199 --> 00:44:29,000
a little bit, and I think that in terms of

870
00:44:29,159 --> 00:44:32,039
just pure hitting ability, he's still every bit as good

871
00:44:32,039 --> 00:44:32,639
as he ever was.

872
00:44:33,039 --> 00:44:36,119
Speaker 1: Buggie. We saw the Astros go with an opener yesterday

873
00:44:36,559 --> 00:44:38,800
and then we saw aj blue Ball get his second

874
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,000
appearance in a major league uniform, and I mean, he

875
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,199
was hitting ninety seven ninety eight of the gun and

876
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:44,639
I don't know if that's going to be a regular

877
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,960
thing for him. But for a guy that goes from

878
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,400
his first start many months ago to a guy who

879
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,119
got passed up by at least two pitchers, if not more,

880
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,880
to get this opportunity again, it looked like he was

881
00:44:58,559 --> 00:45:01,639
just very comfortable well the way the world was off

882
00:45:01,679 --> 00:45:03,440
his shoulders and he can just rear back and get

883
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:03,920
people out.

884
00:45:05,159 --> 00:45:08,679
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, a lot can happen over the course

885
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,360
of whatever it's been three three months down in the

886
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,960
minor leagues and getting working. And he's pitched a lot

887
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,679
of innings down there, and there have been, you know,

888
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,800
tweaks made and adjustments made. And you know, if you're

889
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,519
sitting when you're sitting down on triple A and you're

890
00:45:22,519 --> 00:45:25,719
seeing guys get called up, get called up, get called up,

891
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,039
and it's not you, and it's not you, and it's

892
00:45:27,079 --> 00:45:30,280
not you, it'll create a sense of urgency and it'll

893
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,840
it'll you know, kind of push you to get better

894
00:45:33,039 --> 00:45:34,920
and kind of push you to when you do get

895
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,599
that opportunity, try to make a good impression. And I

896
00:45:37,679 --> 00:45:40,599
think he certainly did that. From a stuff standpoint, I mean,

897
00:45:40,679 --> 00:45:43,480
you can, you can go a long way with high

898
00:45:43,599 --> 00:45:45,519
end stuff when you's you know, there's a lot of

899
00:45:45,639 --> 00:45:48,679
room for error when you're pitching when it's ninety seven

900
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,880
ninety eight miles an hour, and it's certainly different than

901
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,320
a lot you know, a lot of guys that we've

902
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,760
seen come up it's been lesser stuff, but more of

903
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,639
a plan, more of an approach for pitching it. You know,

904
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,440
having a guy who can come up and say, hey,

905
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:04,960
we need you know, two three, four innings where somebody

906
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,360
can just go out there and try to blow guys away.

907
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,559
Here's our option, and differentiate yourself a little bit.

908
00:46:11,559 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that you knew that. You probably in the

909
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,239
back of your mind thought the transition for Carlos going

910
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,079
from short to third base would be a piece of cake,

911
00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:19,400
and it feels like it certainly has been.

912
00:46:21,119 --> 00:46:23,519
Speaker 13: Yeah, when you're that talented at shortstop, I mean there

913
00:46:23,559 --> 00:46:25,679
are some nuances to third base. It's a little bit

914
00:46:25,679 --> 00:46:28,719
different footwork, maybe a couple of different arm angles on throws.

915
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,440
But I mean, if you can play shortstop at the

916
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,000
level that he plays shortstops, you can slide right over

917
00:46:35,039 --> 00:46:37,440
to third base and honestly, probably pretty much anywhere else.

918
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,199
Speaker 1: In the Diamonds, Urius gets an opportunity. Make the most

919
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,639
of it. You've got now, I think, another additional utility guy.

920
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,599
Not so much pressure on Dubond to play every single day.

921
00:46:49,519 --> 00:46:53,559
It feels like the lineup is coming together clearly because

922
00:46:53,639 --> 00:46:55,559
guys are back, and noticeably Jerby would be the first

923
00:46:55,599 --> 00:46:58,280
one on that list. Ross and I want to do

924
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,199
this in a few minutes, and we may have time

925
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,840
to do so. We're hoping that at some point Jordon

926
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,119
gets into play on this and if he does, that's

927
00:47:06,159 --> 00:47:08,880
a missing piece to this lineup being filthy one to seven.

928
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 13: Right at this point you think, oh absolutely, I mean

929
00:47:12,559 --> 00:47:15,639
he as good as other guys have been, as nice

930
00:47:15,639 --> 00:47:19,920
as the additions are. Jordon coming back healthy and being

931
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,639
the hitter that he is. Everything then revolves around him.

932
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,760
You build your lineup around him. You know, team's game

933
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,400
plan around him. It's also you know, another left handed

934
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,199
bat that has to be accounted for, and now you're

935
00:47:32,199 --> 00:47:34,480
looking at the top half of the batting order being

936
00:47:34,639 --> 00:47:37,199
righty lefty, righty lefty. So you know, looking down the

937
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,480
road to a seventh, eighth, ninth inning, playing matchups, it

938
00:47:40,559 --> 00:47:43,559
makes it really difficult for opposing managers. So yeah, I

939
00:47:43,639 --> 00:47:47,159
mean you're looking at a lineup that really, at some

940
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,519
point is going to be you know, one through eight,

941
00:47:49,639 --> 00:47:53,079
one through nine really solid because you know you've got

942
00:47:53,119 --> 00:47:55,559
guys who, for a good chunk of time we're hitting

943
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,920
you know, Te Schmeil hit a bunch of leadoff, He's

944
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,840
going to be maybe your nine hole hitter. You got

945
00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:02,800
you know, Cam Smith sliding into the seventh hole when

946
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,440
he was hitting fourth for a good chunk of time.

947
00:48:05,519 --> 00:48:07,639
Victor Carrottini when he's in the lineup. He was their

948
00:48:07,679 --> 00:48:10,440
best hitter for nearly a month during the course of

949
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,519
the season. So yeah, you're looking at some real lengths

950
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,400
and you know Theiners getting it going, So all of

951
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,320
a sudden, you're looking at a lineup that's really deep

952
00:48:19,519 --> 00:48:21,679
and really dangerous in every spot.

953
00:48:22,199 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: Last question, Bogie. Last night, it happened in back to

954
00:48:25,039 --> 00:48:27,639
back innings, once for the Astros and once for the Marlins.

955
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,920
There was massive miscommunication between the two teams centerfielders and

956
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,280
the right fielders. You have played outfield. Take us to

957
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,639
the protocol on that, and why was it strange to

958
00:48:38,639 --> 00:48:40,400
you that it had happened in back to back innings.

959
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 13: I think that's just a flukey thing. Look, I've played

960
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,199
down there in Miami. I don't think it was a

961
00:48:47,519 --> 00:48:49,400
function of the crowd being too loud.

962
00:48:49,559 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: Ye guy's not.

963
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,039
Speaker 13: Being able to hear it right. So here, here's the protocol.

964
00:48:54,159 --> 00:48:57,599
Right centerfielder has priority over everybody on the field, and

965
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,840
then outfielders have priority over infielders. And when you get

966
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,800
into that little Bermuda triangle where there's a center field

967
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,599
or a right fielder and an infielder going.

968
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: Out, you've got to you know, you've got to be loud.

969
00:49:09,679 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 13: So that you know the other players can hear you.

970
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,840
But also you've got to know who's calling it, right.

971
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,639
If you're the right fielder coming in and you hear

972
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,480
I got it, you've got to know if that's your

973
00:49:18,519 --> 00:49:22,400
second basement or if that's your center fielder, and whether

974
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:24,760
you need to call him off or lay back. And

975
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,719
you know, you've got some guys in there who you know,

976
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,400
Doobie hasn't played a ton of center field, or you've

977
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,880
got Urias who's not used to playing with other guys.

978
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,119
So you've just got a little bit going on to

979
00:49:35,199 --> 00:49:38,679
where guys aren't totally comfortable. But yeah, it's one of

980
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,480
those things where it's difficult, especially on a ball that's

981
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,199
just on the edge of range where you're not going

982
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,239
to be camped underneath it and you're comfortable to take

983
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,079
your eyes off the ball and look down and say, Okay,

984
00:49:50,199 --> 00:49:52,880
is my second basement camp or is that my center

985
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,400
fielder coming over? When everybody's looking up and you just

986
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,440
have to listen and know the voices of who's calling it.

987
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,320
You kind of need to guys who you know their voices,

988
00:50:01,559 --> 00:50:03,079
and it's just one of those things where they haven't

989
00:50:03,119 --> 00:50:04,079
worked together a whole lot.

990
00:50:04,679 --> 00:50:06,599
Speaker 1: Last question, I don't know how many times you played

991
00:50:06,599 --> 00:50:08,559
a Yankee stadium over your career because you were a

992
00:50:08,639 --> 00:50:11,920
nationally guide primarily. But let me ask you this. You've

993
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,559
got a bunch of young men that'll be going there

994
00:50:13,599 --> 00:50:16,519
for the very first time, and it feels like to me,

995
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,719
especially if the Rangers continue to beat up on the Yankees,

996
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,239
that the crowd may be more angry at the Yankees

997
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:23,840
and they are at the Astros because they are in

998
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,320
a massive slump. What advice would you give when you

999
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,760
go to a hostile facility like that for some young

1000
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,079
men that may not be at Yankee Stadium but maybe

1001
00:50:31,119 --> 00:50:31,960
for the very first time.

1002
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, first of all, I think you hit it on

1003
00:50:34,559 --> 00:50:36,480
the head like that. That team is really right now,

1004
00:50:36,639 --> 00:50:38,599
So know that there's a heck of a lot more

1005
00:50:38,639 --> 00:50:41,039
pressure on them to perform in front of that crowd

1006
00:50:41,119 --> 00:50:43,159
than there is on you to perform in front of

1007
00:50:43,199 --> 00:50:45,800
that crowd. But anytime you're going to you know, one

1008
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,239
of those historical stadiums, or you know, guys who are

1009
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:50,800
in the big leagues for the first time going to

1010
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,440
a new stadium, I always get out there early first

1011
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,679
day that you're there, go out, even if you're not

1012
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,119
doing early work. Walk around the stadium. Just get comfortable.

1013
00:50:59,199 --> 00:51:01,960
Look up into the stand, see how high the third

1014
00:51:02,079 --> 00:51:03,880
deck is, to take a look at lights. Just get

1015
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,639
familiar with your surroundings. You know, be in awe at

1016
00:51:08,039 --> 00:51:11,000
two o'clock in the afternoon, so that at seven o'clock,

1017
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,039
you know, it can turn into somewhat of just baseball,

1018
00:51:14,119 --> 00:51:16,280
even though you know, first time in Yankee Stadium, first

1019
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,000
time at Fenway Wrigley, it is a little bit different.

1020
00:51:19,079 --> 00:51:21,400
But try to get all of that out before the game.

1021
00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: Gray seff as always friend, talk to you next week.

1022
00:51:23,519 --> 00:51:26,360
Thank you for the time. All right, cool? See yeah.

1023
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,840
Brian Bogosivik with us every Wednesday at eleven o'clock here

1024
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,639
on Sports Talk seven ninety we have shut your bum

1025
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,639
ass up coming up at the bottom of the hour,

1026
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,280
Shut your bum ass up, and ain't nobody got time

1027
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,280
for that. But when this radio program returns. ESPN made

1028
00:51:40,559 --> 00:51:44,639
two major acquisitions in the last twenty four hours. One

1029
00:51:44,679 --> 00:51:49,239
of them might affect how you watch the world's most

1030
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,519
popular sport. Well that no, America's most poplar sport. I

1031
00:51:52,599 --> 00:51:55,719
correct myself. Eleven sixteen. It's a Matt Thomas show a

1032
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,840
Ross shut your bum ass up in fifteen. Here on

1033
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:04,559
seven ninety eleven twenty Madden Ross Sports Talk seven ninety

1034
00:52:06,559 --> 00:52:09,000
seven one three two one two five seven ninety Ross

1035
00:52:09,119 --> 00:52:11,719
was eating four bowls of oatmeal during that last segment.

1036
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,880
He's like, Matt, you can handle the you and bogie. Yeah.

1037
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,000
It was the best Bogey conversation we ever had this year,

1038
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,840
for sure, good questions. What do you rip artee? Well,

1039
00:52:20,079 --> 00:52:22,320
I think one of those things maybe was true. Okay,

1040
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,119
all right, so you went to bed last night hearing

1041
00:52:26,159 --> 00:52:30,239
about ESPN, Yes, and the NFL network. Thing that is right,

1042
00:52:30,679 --> 00:52:34,119
ESPN is selling Uh let me get this right, The

1043
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:40,599
NFL is selling their network, selling the red Zone, Yes,

1044
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:47,599
selling some more games to ESPN. Okay, okay, and there's

1045
00:52:47,599 --> 00:52:52,239
some other digital platform kind of stuff in return. The

1046
00:52:52,440 --> 00:53:01,639
NFL now owns ten percent of ESPN, isn't that in saying? Okay, so,

1047
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,880
I mean that's wildly insane, right, ten percent of ESPN

1048
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,559
of Well, first to shows you with the value of

1049
00:53:07,639 --> 00:53:10,679
the NFL properties. Are We're talking about four regular season games,

1050
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,960
red Zone and the NFL network. Okay, And apparently the

1051
00:53:14,039 --> 00:53:16,480
NFL network is still gonna be run by NFL people,

1052
00:53:16,639 --> 00:53:20,760
but ESPN's gonna probably have some sort of you crossover.

1053
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,639
There better be Scott Hansen. Probably Scott Hanson from a

1054
00:53:23,679 --> 00:53:26,079
cold dead Hands. He's all locked and loaded. People were

1055
00:53:26,079 --> 00:53:28,639
asking about that. Oh thank god. So the number one

1056
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:32,719
thing is wow, that's crazy. Number two is that, you know,

1057
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,760
Roger Goodell has has always walked this very fine line

1058
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:40,559
about how the NFL feels about gambling. The NFL, ESPN

1059
00:53:40,679 --> 00:53:45,000
has a very strong gambling presence, I e. ESPN Bet,

1060
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,639
and now the NFL owns a piece of a company

1061
00:53:48,679 --> 00:53:52,440
that has a direct tie to a gambling Yeah, ESPN

1062
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,280
Bet is done through I believe pen gaming. Point being

1063
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,440
is this NFL now owns part of ESPN that owns

1064
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,639
ESPN and bet. That's over the case. So there are

1065
00:54:02,679 --> 00:54:05,519
people a little bit wigging out about this. There are

1066
00:54:05,519 --> 00:54:08,519
also people that are wigging out about the journalistic integrity

1067
00:54:08,679 --> 00:54:12,320
and how can if Adam Schefter finds out something that

1068
00:54:12,519 --> 00:54:15,639
he shouldn't be reporting because the ESPN owns ten percent

1069
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:17,960
of it is very valid.

1070
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:19,639
Speaker 8: You know.

1071
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,760
Speaker 1: My reality reaction to all that was ROSSI and you

1072
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:27,239
can certainly have a different one than I have. We've

1073
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,280
lost and I don't know about the political game because

1074
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,800
I don't follow politics like that. The plot is lost

1075
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:38,400
there too. But we have lost sports journalism. Well, yes, okay,

1076
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,000
that's just the reality of it. You have team controlled websites,

1077
00:54:42,039 --> 00:54:48,840
you've got team controlled access, you have networks that employ reporters,

1078
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:53,400
you have networks that don't want to anger the television

1079
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,519
partners in the league because they're the ones that are

1080
00:54:56,559 --> 00:55:00,320
giving out these contracts to say broadcast. I mean, the

1081
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,880
reality is is, even before this deal came through yesterday,

1082
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,519
Adam Schefter got something so juicy, He's gonna probably a

1083
00:55:06,519 --> 00:55:08,960
lot it to the commissioner first before he does anything.

1084
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,079
Because there's a very strong relationship between ESPN and the NFL.

1085
00:55:13,159 --> 00:55:15,360
Now it's even stronger because the NFL owns ten percent

1086
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,960
of the network now, so the days of there is

1087
00:55:19,039 --> 00:55:23,800
a line between partnership and journalism that has long been eroded.

1088
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,920
So I wasn't nearly worried about that, and I'll I'm

1089
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:30,559
not worried about any of this because again, it's not

1090
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:33,480
impacked our watching of sports. It doesn't necessarily matter. But

1091
00:55:33,559 --> 00:55:36,480
I will just say just Adam Schefter is a made man,

1092
00:55:36,599 --> 00:55:41,199
and maybe that's a relate You can never get rid

1093
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,519
of Adam Schefter if you're ESPN. But I will say,

1094
00:55:43,559 --> 00:55:45,119
what if there's somebody that's up and coming that wants

1095
00:55:45,159 --> 00:55:48,199
to break a big story, they're scared to break a

1096
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,199
big story, or if they're there somewhere else in the

1097
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,599
ESPN realm and and they don't want to do it

1098
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,719
because they have to kind of bow down to their

1099
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,119
NFL overlords. Adam Schefter didn't really have to bow down

1100
00:55:59,119 --> 00:56:01,320
to anybody. No, But I think he's probably played well.

1101
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,760
You probably the wheels. Yeah, So I don't know if

1102
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,360
the general public all of a sudden cares about this.

1103
00:56:07,559 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 8: Now.

1104
00:56:09,079 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 1: To me, the only shocking part is again, ESPN lives

1105
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,679
on the gambling aspect, and the NFL has tried to

1106
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,559
be as careful as they can not to cross over

1107
00:56:20,599 --> 00:56:23,280
the gambling world. You can't cross over. Now. When ESPN

1108
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,320
bet is a huge part of the ESPN family and

1109
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,039
you now own ten percent of that family, you've now

1110
00:56:30,159 --> 00:56:32,559
gone full throttle into the gambling world. Now, the NBA

1111
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,519
doesn't care. The NBA is like, yeah, you what you want,

1112
00:56:35,639 --> 00:56:37,199
just don't bet on our sport. If you're a player,

1113
00:56:37,559 --> 00:56:39,679
Major League Baseball makes it very clear you can't bet

1114
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,639
on the sports. But they're not still doing it. But

1115
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,320
they're not, but they're not running into a lot of

1116
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,599
those issues. The NFL has tried to at least say, hey,

1117
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,039
we need to make sure we separate ourselves. And there's

1118
00:56:49,079 --> 00:56:52,159
no separation. So that's that was interesting. Point number one.

1119
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,079
Then ESPN late last night and you may have been asleep,

1120
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:02,920
they're going to give They're gonna yes these special events

1121
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,920
that the WWE has, that's the Summer Slams, which just

1122
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:11,679
took place this weekend, Summer Slam. That's WrestleMania. And they

1123
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,480
have a phrase for it, and I'm sorry, I can't

1124
00:57:13,519 --> 00:57:16,480
think it's it's a marque. It's an mL E or

1125
00:57:16,519 --> 00:57:18,840
something like that. It's like a premiere event. There's like

1126
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:25,559
sixqu what nothing good? Sorry you said mL E mid

1127
00:57:25,639 --> 00:57:28,280
level exception. It's not a middle nothing at the WWE

1128
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:34,159
level is mid level pl premium live event. Okay. They're

1129
00:57:34,239 --> 00:57:39,599
selling the pls to ESPN. Okay, so now ESPN is like,

1130
00:57:40,119 --> 00:57:42,960
we're gonna give you the chance to watch these pls

1131
00:57:43,639 --> 00:57:46,599

TV and Peacock and Amazon, and it's horrible. So what

1146
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:56,239
I want to know is who's running the ESPN checkbook? Disney.

1147
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,719
Does Disney have more money than God?

1148
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:00,599
Speaker 2: Yes?

1149
00:59:04,239 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, I think they're gonna pay I got

1150
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,960

1152
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,599

National Geographic. Of course, they have all the Disney Uh yeah,

1170
01:00:33,039 --> 01:00:35,280
contracts of these network. I mean they bought the SEC

1173
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,039
I was born way too late. He did okay for himself,

1174
01:00:51,039 --> 01:00:53,519
and he did okay. But it's just I just so.

1175
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,440
ESPN got super, super busy in the last thirty six

1176
01:00:56,519 --> 01:01:01,679
hours selling off ten percent of their network to the

1177
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:05,639
NFL getting the red zone, you know the reds. Are

1178
01:01:05,679 --> 01:01:07,559
they gonna put commercial in the red zone? They better not.

1179
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,360
There's no way you can't. They will. There's more, There'll

1180
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,639
be more sponsorships they already have, like the you know,

1181
01:01:12,679 --> 01:01:15,039
the Fedeggs Carry of the Day, right, whatever, right, right,

1182
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,920
they can do more of that. But I mean, you know,

1183
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:20,960
there I will write in the streets. I'm just I'm

1184
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,039
telling you I don't like I bought Peacock. I didn't

1185
01:01:23,039 --> 01:01:24,519
get it for the WWE, so I got it for

1186
01:01:24,679 --> 01:01:26,280
a variety of things. I thought your son bought it

1187
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,000
because of Premier League. That's the primary reason I didn't

1188
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:30,599
want to bury the headline on that. But that's fine.

1189
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,039
Emier Leagu's coming back next weekend and it's gonna be

1190
01:01:33,039 --> 01:01:36,880
the home of sixty six NBA games. Love it with

1191
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,159
the theme is are they reworking the theme? Are they

1192
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,880
revamping the theme, or they're gonna go back to but

1193
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,360
they're gonna probably, you know, add a little little pizazz

1194
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,159
to it. Let me get you. Kendrick lamartis in the

1195
01:01:47,199 --> 01:01:49,280

1217
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:58,840
will go ahead and start. And I kind of did

1218
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,440
this when, uh, what was calling me grumpy? I grumpy

1219
01:03:02,559 --> 01:03:07,000
RV or something that It wasn't grumpy it was I

1220
01:03:07,079 --> 01:03:10,159
can't remember. It doesn't matter. I'm a little bit sick

1221
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,360
cranky RV. I think maybe that's it. I'm a little

1222
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:17,159
bit under the weather, and I was, you know, I

1223
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,400
tried to be on social media just because I have

1224
01:03:20,519 --> 01:03:23,000
this job. Go ahead and follow me at sports RV

1225
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,480
on Instagram. People do have time for that. Trying to

1226
01:03:26,519 --> 01:03:28,599
put more stuff on there. I would appreciate the support.

1227
01:03:30,119 --> 01:03:32,880
I was talking with somebody yesterday as I was putting

1228
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,719
out about the hitting coaches and just making jokes on Twitter,

1229
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,880
and then people, multiple people are all like, well, yeah,

1230
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,880
it's a Miami Marlin, so like it really counts. These

1231
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,880
are Major League Baseball games. You've been a fan for

1232
01:03:47,079 --> 01:03:50,480
years and years and years, so and you always get

1233
01:03:50,599 --> 01:03:52,639
mad if they lose to the A's of the Washington

1234
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,119
Nationals and talk about how they never beat bad teams.

1235
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,760
The Marlins, by the way, even though they're under five hundred,

1236
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,719
have been one of the hottest teams in baseball for

1237
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,239
over a month. So if you want to be the

1238
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,159
guy that complains about them never beating bad teams and

1239
01:04:06,199 --> 01:04:08,599
then when they do you act like it's what they're

1240
01:04:08,639 --> 01:04:11,239
supposed to do, you can't have it both ways. Shut

1241
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:12,079
your bum ass up.

1242
01:04:13,639 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 2: Shit your bum ass up, man.

1243
01:04:17,199 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan, what you got? I wanted to I've been waiting

1244
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,559
for this because this weekend, you as championships over for

1245
01:04:23,639 --> 01:04:26,800
a track and field was this weekend and the two

1246
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:28,719
undimeter finals came in and I know, you guys know

1247
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,440
who No Allows is. If you don't, that's the guy

1248
01:04:30,599 --> 01:04:33,239
was Yes, Yeah, he's getting his staring down right. Yeah,

1249
01:04:33,559 --> 01:04:35,480
so that's what his thing. He doesn't stare down whatever.

1250
01:04:35,559 --> 01:04:37,800
He's cocky. No one likes him even in the track

1251
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,079
world that we really don't. We can't stand up, okay,

1252
01:04:40,599 --> 01:04:43,360
And so what happens is he key ban Eric and

1253
01:04:43,599 --> 01:04:46,800
Noela has had this rivalry going on since the twenty

1254
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:50,079
twenty Olympics for Tokyo and everything, and they've been going

1255
01:04:50,159 --> 01:04:53,760
at it. Keny Baneric and started the races, you know,

1256
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:55,719
beating him, dad him and no allows us. His thing,

1257
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:59,880
catches him, looks him down and after that, well I'll know,

1258
01:05:00,519 --> 01:05:03,039
before he could even celebrate, Ken't even Derek pushes the

1259
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,719
shoves him mid sprint trying to slow down, like, shoves

1260
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:07,719
him and starts yelling at him, da da da da. Oh,

1261
01:05:07,719 --> 01:05:11,159
you can't do that to me, you know, just just

1262
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:16,119
being ugly, just being ugly. Just I'm trying to get

1263
01:05:16,159 --> 01:05:18,400
to the point because what happens is is just it's

1264
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,480
a big unsportsman like thing. This a couple of years

1265
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,920
ago with so who is more out of line? Yes,

1266
01:05:25,039 --> 01:05:27,840
Kiman Eric pushed him and shoved him, and then afterward

1267
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:29,480
went to me saying, you can't do that to me.

1268
01:05:29,559 --> 01:05:31,280
I don't like that. You can do it to anybody else,

1269
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,880
but you gotta respect me. But you got you lost.

1270
01:05:35,239 --> 01:05:36,760
That's the thing in track. You got one race and

1271
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:38,559
you got you gotta beat you lost championship.

1272
01:05:38,599 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 9: That's it.

1273
01:05:39,239 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: No other sport does this, and this is why track

1274
01:05:41,639 --> 01:05:44,599
athletes get dispected. This is why we don't get respect

1275
01:05:44,599 --> 01:05:46,159
that we want like we want. And this is why

1276
01:05:46,199 --> 01:05:48,960
there's no eyes on track because it's just divas. Oh

1277
01:05:49,039 --> 01:05:50,599
you guys, don't you just run this is and this

1278
01:05:51,079 --> 01:05:52,639
and you show that you can't even take a loss

1279
01:05:52,639 --> 01:05:55,039
how you're supposed to and you congratulate. So no one

1280
01:05:55,079 --> 01:05:57,639
got time for that. Anybody got time for that? Just

1281
01:05:57,719 --> 01:05:59,239
get to the point this is. This shouldn't need a

1282
01:05:59,239 --> 01:06:01,639
place in track. Ain't nobody got time today. You didn't

1283
01:06:01,639 --> 01:06:03,360
think you were getting tracks back today, did you. I

1284
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:07,519
that was not on the bingo board. I saw that. Yeah.

1285
01:06:08,519 --> 01:06:11,519
So even though nobody likes Noah Lyles, you're defending him here, Jonathan.

1286
01:06:11,559 --> 01:06:14,199
I like that about it, because I mean, I can't

1287
01:06:14,519 --> 01:06:17,079
all right, how about this one. No one likes Stephan

1288
01:06:17,159 --> 01:06:18,880
days and when he does outside of the outside of

1289
01:06:19,679 --> 01:06:21,400
I think he does great outside of the off the

1290
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,679
field on the field, but a lot of people okay,

1291
01:06:24,719 --> 01:06:27,760
when he's on the track, you gotta respect him, exactly, Saton.

1292
01:06:28,239 --> 01:06:31,800
Any controversial good player, like we were talking about Aaron

1293
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:36,000
Rodgers yesterday, Exactly. He goes on podcasts and talks about

1294
01:06:36,079 --> 01:06:40,159
doing a bunch of drugs and whatnot. I don't really care.

1295
01:06:40,599 --> 01:06:44,360
Think he's one of the greatest quarterbacks I've ever seen. Okay, uh,

1296
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,800
I don't like scratch off tickets. I think they're a

1297
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:53,440
ginormous waste of time. M okay, sounds like somebody who loses.

1298
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:57,239
But we had some extra scratch off winners in our house.

1299
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,119
We were doing some cleaning and we found about ten

1300
01:06:59,159 --> 01:07:02,960
to twelve. That's good, okay. Oh, I know it's gonna happen.

1301
01:07:03,559 --> 01:07:05,480
So I take him to the convenience store and the

1302
01:07:05,559 --> 01:07:09,000
guy says, you need to scratch this little barcode area. Yes,

1303
01:07:09,239 --> 01:07:14,000
which again is just basically adding extra aggravation. So I said,

1304
01:07:14,039 --> 01:07:15,360
you have a coin. He gives me a coin and

1305
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,360
I start scratching it. He then tries to put it

1306
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:22,039
into the little reader. He says, you scratched him too hard,

1307
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:24,679
and he couldn't give me any of the money for

1308
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,639
any of the tickets. See, you know what, I told him, what.

1309
01:07:28,199 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 2: Shits your bumass up? Mane shit your bum ass up man.

1310
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 1: That's why I hate lottery tickets. Yeah, man, that's rookie stuff. Though, Matt,

1311
01:07:37,199 --> 01:07:40,079
you can't. We can't scratch off that barcode. You know

1312
01:07:40,159 --> 01:07:42,920
what some people do. Tell me. Some people get scratch

1313
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:44,599
offs and they don't even play the game. They go

1314
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,320
straight to the barcode. This is real degenerate. Really, it

1315
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,519
doesn't scratching off the other part. It doesn't nothing, It

1316
01:07:50,559 --> 01:07:52,719
doesn't matter. You can go straight right to the barcode. Yeah,

1317
01:07:52,719 --> 01:07:54,800
you can go straight to the barcode. Which makes it again.

1318
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,559
Anybody got time for scratch offs? I saw somebody do that.

1319
01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,679
You're kind of the saddest thing ever. Saw y'all just

1320
01:07:59,719 --> 01:08:02,480
taught me something I did not know this West. I'm saying,

1321
01:08:02,519 --> 01:08:04,480
you don't, first of all, stay away from them. You're

1322
01:08:04,519 --> 01:08:06,400
gonna if you're gonna spend a lot of eat well,

1323
01:08:06,679 --> 01:08:08,840

01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:21,239
didn't realize russy I had to be a delicate little

1327
01:08:21,319 --> 01:08:23,960
scratcher of the the part. Do you we were putting

1328
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,600
a roll in your sleeves up man, No, like a

1329
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,920
regular normal ass grown ass man. Scratch scratch scratch, scratch

1330
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,800

1331
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,439
told you. I understand you're you're not deep in the

1332
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,279

1333
01:08:37,279 --> 01:08:39,000
Like I said, I'll get a couple of deep in

1334
01:08:39,039 --> 01:08:42,720

Speaker 6: Hey?

Speaker 5: Last week got called questioning uh Astro's rockets Twitter into

1352
01:09:24,399 --> 01:09:27,920
like question about speaking Korea into existence. So I'm here

1353
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,279
to self report. I ain't nobody got time for me

1354
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:35,199
questioning or shut by bomb ass up. Sorry Bonda, Sorry Schwab,

1355
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:38,800
Sorry Anither who.

1356
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:39,319
Speaker 1: Are those people? Thank you for the phone call, Jake,

1357
01:09:39,359 --> 01:09:43,720
appreciate it. The reporters in this town are Chandler Rome,

1358
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:49,600
Brian McTaggart, and Matthewa. You didn't follow me on Twitter,

1359
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,359
I thought, I mean, those are the guys. They get

1360
01:09:51,399 --> 01:09:52,840
some stuff right and they get some stuff wrong. I

1361
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,359
believe one of them, said Schwa said, I don't even

1362
01:09:55,359 --> 01:09:57,840
know who it was that Cease was on the one

1363
01:09:57,880 --> 01:09:59,479
yard line and that was going to be a done deal.

1364
01:10:00,119 --> 01:10:02,159
Night Gales said the COREADI it was all but dead.

1365
01:10:02,239 --> 01:10:05,279
And then he and then douchebag John Hayman's bragging about

1366
01:10:05,399 --> 01:10:09,520
how great Bob night Gil's coverage was on Korea, Well

1367
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:10,800
it could have been all but dead, you know, because

1368
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,399
I think Jailer Rum said the same thing. J John Hayman,

1369
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,159
don't give it. Not giving credit to Brian mctagger shuts

1370
01:10:16,159 --> 01:10:18,800
your bomb ass up. Make mctagger was first on it, right,

1371
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:23,000
Yes he was, and uh Hayman gave mcuh Nightingale all

1372
01:10:23,039 --> 01:10:25,920
the credit. Terrible. First of all, we shouldn't be giving credit.

1373
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,159
Who needs credit for anything? No, I think it's proper

1374
01:10:28,279 --> 01:10:31,600
journalistic journalistic practice to give credit to whoever broke the news,

1375
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:33,880
then you better do it the right person. Then, come on, Matt,

1376
01:10:34,239 --> 01:10:36,359
you didn't go what I guess you were. It's not

1377
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:40,960
really journalism school. No, I didn't go to get I

1378
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:44,239

1495
01:16:02,159 --> 01:16:02,319
Speaker 11: Hey?

1496
01:16:02,399 --> 01:16:05,680
Speaker 15: I was I wanted to get back up the glass

1497
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,640
caller because he's probably one of those who calls the

1498
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:12,640
Astros WII and acts like he's part of the team

1499
01:16:13,119 --> 01:16:14,880
when he probably peaked in high school.

1500
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 8: So I ain't.

1501
01:16:16,039 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 15: Nobody got time for that.

1502
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Nobody got time for Okay, Steven, it's getting personal hair,

1503
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:28,279
all right? You know how I feel about We's. Yes,

1504
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:30,600
if you're employed by the team, you can call yourself WE.

1505
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:33,399
If you went to the school, you can call yourself

1506
01:16:33,399 --> 01:16:36,479
a week. If you're a fan of the team, that's

1507
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,800
at a little bit of a mix. That's now. Granted,

1508
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:42,600
I've been an Astro fan since nineteen seventy nine, but

1509
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,920
I don't usually typically say WE on the show. I

1510
01:16:46,039 --> 01:16:48,319
don't really care. I might like to make fun of

1511
01:16:48,359 --> 01:16:49,960
people that do it. But it doesn't matter. I have

1512
01:16:50,039 --> 01:16:51,960
been a Rockets employee. This would be my tenth year

1513
01:16:52,039 --> 01:16:54,319
calling games. Yes, I don't think i'd done we but

1514
01:16:54,399 --> 01:16:56,600
maybe once or twice. I don't do it a whole lot.

1515
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:58,600
You can say we are the champions when they win

1516
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:00,800
it all all hells. Yeah. By the way, you think

1517
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,720
Sparks went nuts in the clubhouse, you put this guy

1518
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:07,800
in the clubhouse with the Rocket players. Oh baby, huh,

1519
01:17:08,319 --> 01:17:10,199
we're gonna go viral. I'm gonna get that Twitter gap

1520
01:17:11,319 --> 01:17:14,800
eye like you did back in the day. You don't

1521
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,119
know that story to your job. Look at that.

1522
01:17:19,239 --> 01:17:19,359
Speaker 6: Now.

1523
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: It's not that deep of a cut. But I don't

1524
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,359
know how many of our listeners got that deep. We

1525
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:25,039
got time for it.

1526
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:26,199
Speaker 2: I think we do.

1527
01:17:26,399 --> 01:17:26,520
Speaker 10: Well.

1528
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 1: Let's get Gary real quick, all right, real quick? Uh Gary,

1529
01:17:30,039 --> 01:17:30,800
what's the matter with you?

1530
01:17:32,399 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 9: Alrighty?

1531
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 6: I got two of them here real quick, and they're

1532
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:39,560
both aimed at one. Matthew Thomas. All that list, that

01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:43,079
list of God's Country, Lubbock, Texas is not even on

1534
01:17:43,199 --> 01:17:46,039
the first page, maybe page two or three. Number one

1535
01:17:46,079 --> 01:17:48,279
on God's Country is the hill country with all the

1536
01:17:48,359 --> 01:17:51,000

01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,760
that way they had going was so pretty. So you

1539
01:17:57,880 --> 01:17:59,720
can't be telling people what to do and how to

1540
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,039
have fun when they're spending their money at their ball game.

1541
01:18:02,199 --> 01:18:06,399
So Aim, Thomas shuts you, obam by myself, Man, shut.

01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,239
known where the key to my little well which within

1577

Speaker 1: I'm so sorry for that. Will thank you for the

1584
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:22,079
phone call. It's a prime suspect, folks. At least he

1585
01:20:22,159 --> 01:20:24,199
put the car back on the bricks, right, That was

1586
01:20:24,199 --> 01:20:26,560
at least the courteous thing you did. Correct. I guess

1587
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:33,880
how much waken these bricks hold? I don't know really quick, uh, Jonathan.

1588
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,920
When I was a young reporter, uh, probably about your age,

1589
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,279
I went to go cover a Rocket's locker room after

1590
01:20:39,359 --> 01:20:42,079
a game, and uh, it was the summit and the

1591
01:20:42,279 --> 01:20:45,319
locker room was super tiny. So I took my recorder

1592
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:47,199
and my microphone and I went in the area and

1593
01:20:47,239 --> 01:20:49,399
I thought, well, i'll get I'll sneak around this one

1594
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,359
area and I'll get into catcher stance again, you know,

1595
01:20:51,359 --> 01:20:57,159
because it was really tight quarters. A certain player dropped

1596
01:20:57,199 --> 01:21:06,680
his towel and I was staring at it. Why are you?

1597
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:10,479
I mean it was in his face, my two eyes

1598
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:16,520
with That's why I always say, Matt, I it well not.

1599
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:23,199
I was eyes to eyes and it was like it

1600
01:21:23,319 --> 01:21:29,960
was yesterday. Sadly, Matt, we'll never forget if I mentioned

1601
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,520
who the player was. Yes, I'm gonna do it again.

1602
01:21:34,319 --> 01:21:38,439
Are what go ahead? No, I'm not gonna do it.

1603
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:45,279
R Am right, No, s s F. Stevie Francis no,

1604
01:21:45,399 --> 01:21:47,039
it was not Steve Francis earlier than that.

1605
01:21:47,239 --> 01:21:47,399
Speaker 2: I know.

1606
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,319
Speaker 1: I'll let y'all figure it out. The News at noon

01:22:03,159 --> 01:22:04,840
be a billionaire off of one hundred million dollars a

1612
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:07,760
year for working like thirty thirty weeks a year. Every

1613
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,359
time I turn on his station, it's never him, even

1614
01:22:10,399 --> 01:22:12,880

1615
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:21,680
point two five, seven ninety six, number three of the

1616
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:29,319
mats of this show with Ross and let's just go

1617
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:36,640
straight to Hello Loose at noon. All right, Matt, you

1618
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:39,680
heard the highlights there of the Houston Astros getting their

1619
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:46,680
second straight win against the Miami Marlins, exploding for eight

1620
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,159
runs in game number one of the series, scoring seven

1621
01:22:50,319 --> 01:22:53,359
runs in game number two. Fire. The hitting coaches guy

1622
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,279
is in shambles, but I'm sure he'll be right back

1623
01:22:56,319 --> 01:22:59,520
at it if they are not successful in scoring runs tonight.

1624
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:04,000
But that's okay, by the way, it's a three forty

1625
01:23:04,119 --> 01:23:06,479
first pitch. Yeah, I know, which I didn't. I know,

1626
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,600
I didn't know. Yeah, I know, I'm a goof. That's fine.

1627
01:23:11,239 --> 01:23:14,560
We gotta work on your punctuality and your scheduling. You

1628
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:15,840
know what A little bit?

1629
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:17,079
Speaker 11: What I mean?

1630
01:23:17,119 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 1: Someone? What else did I get wrong? You just I

1631
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:20,760
don't know last week, Ross remember that, He's just I

1632
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:25,000
don't know. It's time. Yeah, I remember. Yeah, men shut

1633
01:23:25,039 --> 01:23:31,520
you out. Messes up a j blue ball, touching ninety

1634
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:37,279
eight on the gun on baseball, some mon said as

1635
01:23:37,279 --> 01:23:39,039
a four seamer, but he had a little armside run,

1636
01:23:39,119 --> 01:23:44,239
I thought, Matt. But anyways, seventy pitches for him, five innings,

1637
01:23:44,279 --> 01:23:47,159
pitch a couple of solo shots, giving up five strikeouts.

1638
01:23:47,199 --> 01:23:50,000
He picks up the win. He also picked up in

1639
01:23:50,119 --> 01:23:55,680
the post game the Pitcher of the Game championship belt

1640
01:23:56,119 --> 01:23:58,560
that the Astros hand out, which comes with a speech.

1641
01:23:59,039 --> 01:24:00,439
He said, he kind of stumbled through it, but he

1642
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,600
made it quick. Question. We have our fantasy league, do

1643
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:06,760
we need a belt? No? Oh, you want to finance it?

1644
01:24:07,199 --> 01:24:08,319
How much those belts cost?

1645
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 8: Oh?

1646
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:11,199
Speaker 1: I don't want a cheap belt if we're gonna do it,

1647
01:24:11,239 --> 01:24:17,159
But bro, I can't all around money goes to charity. Anyway,

1648
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:21,039
let me see two hundred two hundred for a belt,

1649
01:24:21,239 --> 01:24:22,960
A good one. You can you can go for fifty

1650
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:24,880
dollars ones, but I don't want to figure one two

1651
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:29,239
hundred probably the quality. We should cut promos too. Okay,

1652
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:33,680
you know what promos are. Yeah, I mean I understand. Okay, Okay,

1653
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,680
I'm getting a bunch of sponsored about two hundred bucks

1654
01:24:37,119 --> 01:24:42,199
one seventy nine. It'd be cool and put your face

1655
01:24:42,239 --> 01:24:44,840
on it crying because you don't win the championship. It'd

1656
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,880
be nice. Why would be nice about that? What do

1657
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:51,439
you mean you want? You want a belt with a

1658
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:56,359
picture of me crying across your chest and waist. I

1659
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:58,760
do have the belt three straight years running. I gotta

1660
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:00,199
rub it in now because there's no way I can

1661
01:25:00,279 --> 01:25:03,680
win four straight. There's no way. Hell, this league has

1662
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,199
been rigged since day one. You noticed it. As I

1663
01:25:06,279 --> 01:25:08,239
became commission I won like three out of four. Yeah,

1664
01:25:08,239 --> 01:25:10,239
I think I won four the last six. We've absolutely

1665
01:25:10,279 --> 01:25:14,000
noticed every single year. I mean, look, you can uh,

1666
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,960
all the moves are transparent. It's fine. What else we got?

1667
01:25:19,159 --> 01:25:22,399
Let's talk about me winning three championships? Oh, I want

1668
01:25:22,399 --> 01:25:26,199
to keep remaining audience. We have left. Sorry, all right, Matt,

1669
01:25:28,079 --> 01:25:30,880
there wasn't actual Oh that's right. The ESPN story they

1670
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,560
are going to get NFL network rights to Red Zone

1671
01:25:35,199 --> 01:25:40,760
for an equity steak in a blockbuster deal. The NFL

1672
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:45,560
getting a ten percent equity steak. I mean that is major, Matt.

1673
01:25:46,119 --> 01:25:49,399
I know ESPN ain't what it once was, but a

1674
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:53,079
ten percent steak. Are there any blurred lines or does

1675
01:25:53,079 --> 01:25:55,800
the average person go, don't care? Aver Fresson doesn't care,

1676
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,199
but the lines are blurred? Conflicts of interest abound. I

1677
01:25:58,319 --> 01:26:02,079
feel like, yeah, I get it with reporting, with coverage,

1678
01:26:02,279 --> 01:26:06,479
with you know, spinning certain narratives certain ways, and maybe

1679
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:10,760
not even direct pure pressure. There's implied pressure. I'll tell

1680
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:13,079
you there's implied pressure with us being partners of the

1681
01:26:13,119 --> 01:26:17,239
Ashers and Rockets. No, it's not necessarily direct. No, And look,

1682
01:26:17,319 --> 01:26:20,439
I have to walk at line myself. But when the

1683
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:22,119
Rockets lose, I don't come out here and go, well,

1684
01:26:22,119 --> 01:26:24,319
at least you know Jay Chon Tate played well. I

1685
01:26:24,359 --> 01:26:28,479
don't do that, but I have a greater rooting interest

1686
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:30,159
for the Rockets that do. Let's just say, if we

1687
01:26:30,199 --> 01:26:32,000
were partners of the Texans, I wouldn't be doing my

1688
01:26:32,079 --> 01:26:34,239
cal McNair impressure in the way that I do. No,

1689
01:26:35,159 --> 01:26:38,920
but I haven't changed. I think we are going to

1690
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,359
be good this year. I mean, look, I'm not a

1691
01:26:41,399 --> 01:26:42,840
fan of the Texans. They wouldn't force me to be

1692
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:44,399
a fan of the Texans. But would I have a

1693
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:46,439
little more I get to know them a little bit better?

1694
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:48,680
But yeah, maybe be less of a Texans hater. I'm

1695
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:53,479
not a hater. I just my minded soul doesn't have

1696
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,960
any more room for losses. Well, they're going to keep

1697
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:58,000
Scott Hanson, which they need to. We'll see what kind

1698
01:26:58,039 --> 01:27:02,399
of ramping up of advertising. The guy that was better Ceciliano. Yeah,

1699
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:05,840
he's the voice of the Cleveland Browns. Well he is, yeah,

1700
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:09,239
the radio voice. He just got a good voice. Yeah,

1701
01:27:10,399 --> 01:27:13,119
san Antonio guy. I didn't know that. Yeah, he worked

1702
01:27:13,119 --> 01:27:16,720
at Santonio for a while. Anthony Siliano not Anthony oh

1703
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:24,399
to Andrew Andrew Ciciliano. Yeah, okay, good for him elsewhere

1704
01:27:24,399 --> 01:27:31,960
I'm at. Unfortunately, it keeps on happening. A latex phallic

1705
01:27:33,279 --> 01:27:38,439
device was thrown onto a court. Is that we're calling

1706
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:40,680
it for on radio? Because as soon as we say

1707
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,720
it's a sex toy, I mean you can say dil

1708
01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:48,720
do right, Well, you said it, I would rather not.

1709
01:27:50,279 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 6: That was Matt.

1710
01:27:51,039 --> 01:27:54,119
Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Ross. That was Matt that said

1711
01:27:54,119 --> 01:27:56,560
that we're not doing a show for kids. Everybody knows, well,

1712
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:58,680
I'm in theory. I would say the very least is

1713
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,079
the PG thirteen show. We do have people who are like, well, okay,

1714
01:28:01,159 --> 01:28:03,319
talking about that mon kids and the call or well,

1715
01:28:03,359 --> 01:28:05,319
we don't do a kid's show. If you want to

1716
01:28:05,399 --> 01:28:07,359
go to listen to Mickey Mouse and Friends, No, we

1717
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:09,119
don't want to listen to a kid's show. This is

1718
01:28:09,199 --> 01:28:11,239
not a kid's show. Yeah, but I mean everybody is

1719
01:28:11,319 --> 01:28:13,359
putting again. I don't want to use the word a bunch,

1720
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,039
but everybody on social media, they're not calling it what

1721
01:28:16,159 --> 01:28:18,039
you call. They're calling it a dial Though our target

1722
01:28:18,119 --> 01:28:20,600
demo was not thirteen year old children. No, I mean

1723
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:22,880
we like thirteen. We have our young man that listens

1724
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:26,439
to show. We appreciate him, appreciate you, but get you

1725
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:27,239
buying power up.

1726
01:28:27,279 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 2: Son.

1727
01:28:28,119 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 1: We need you in demo. We need you twenty five

1728
01:28:30,039 --> 01:28:32,399
to fifty four, sir, We appreciate fifty five plus, but

1729
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:36,800
we really love you twenty five to fifty four. Continue on, Yes,

1730
01:28:39,159 --> 01:28:42,359
a toy landing near Indiana's. Yeah, let's do it for kids.

1731
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:46,560
A little toy landed near Sophie Cunningham. Oh is she

1732
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:52,000
kicked it quickly? Yes? And the as the Los Angeles

1733
01:28:52,039 --> 01:28:56,560
Sparks were playing the Indiana Fever on Tuesday night. It's

1734
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:59,600
the latest incident to happen in WNBA game in the

1735
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:02,399
past seven days. How are three such incidents that? How

1736
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:05,039
are people getting them in the building? Are you putting

1737
01:29:05,039 --> 01:29:09,680
them in your pants? Because you can't carry a package

1738
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:12,760
in without somebody going, what is what's in your package? Oh,

1739
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:16,039
it's a sex toy. I'll let you use your imagination

1740
01:29:16,119 --> 01:29:17,279
on that one, Matt, And that's going to do it

1741
01:29:17,319 --> 01:29:19,960
for the news at noon. All right, Texans update and

1742
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:26,880
a high I, highly thought of Major League Baseball rookie

1743
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:30,439
gets a new deal today that could impact what the

1744
01:29:31,319 --> 01:29:34,560
Texans can do with Cam Smith in Texans the Astros

1745
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:36,359
can do with Cam Smith. Both full stories straight to

1746
01:29:36,399 --> 01:29:39,520
hit here on seven nine. Where with you today until

1747
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:43,479
two o'clock We've got believe it or not one fifty

1748
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,199
If you missed our conversation with Brian Bogacevic, it was outstanding.

1749
01:29:46,359 --> 01:29:48,960
The questions thrown on him today were probably the best

1750
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:53,159
we've had in quite some time. Brian Bogacetic replay coming

1751
01:29:53,199 --> 01:29:57,159
up at one thirty today seven one three, seven nine.

1752
01:29:57,159 --> 01:29:58,439
If you want to join us right now, we're kind

1753
01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:02,560
of an open line situation. The Astros made Hiroster move

1754
01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:06,880
aj blue ball through every pitch he could as fast

1755
01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:09,640
as he could for a reason. He's gonna be getting

1756
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:11,079
a fly. Well, he's gonna probably fly back with the

1757
01:30:11,119 --> 01:30:12,800
team today, but he'll be going to sugar Lane and

1758
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,119
will not be staying downtown. You'll get on the connecting bus.

1759
01:30:16,399 --> 01:30:18,760
Do you think it got a separate shuttle for him?

1760
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:23,960
You think he gets his own black car? Hmm. Now,

1761
01:30:24,039 --> 01:30:25,880
if they travel like we do, we park at the

1762
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:32,920
FBO and that's a term for like a private air terminal. Okay,

1763
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,520
And he's the same plane, don't they. Yeah, And let's

1764
01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:39,439
until it's our turn and then they get they get

1765
01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:43,199
this up like anybody get time for you flying somewhere.

1766
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:46,840
But point being is that, yeah, I mean, I'm they

1767
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:49,159
have their cars there, and my guess is he probably

1768
01:30:49,359 --> 01:30:51,239
still has an apartment in Sugarland or some sorry, I

1769
01:30:51,279 --> 01:30:53,359
mean that's where he's You know, you could drive from

1770
01:30:53,399 --> 01:30:55,800
Sugarland to Dyke and park every day. He's like bucking

1771
01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:58,720
bunked up with UH. I don't know JP France or

1772
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:04,760
somebody or that Miguel Uliola, Miguel Uola. I better get

1773
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:07,960
that down, you better. He's gonna be in the rotation

1774
01:31:08,079 --> 01:31:10,600
next year. I got romon urias all taken care of.

1775
01:31:11,119 --> 01:31:14,600
Knock that out, Yes, beautifully, that's wonderful. So blue balls

1776
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:18,800
going back to sugar Land. Yes, strong with that. Well,

1777
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:23,640
it's just tough. You go to Miami Indoor Stadium, five

1778
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:27,720
star hotel, you fly home. You're not only you're going

1779
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,239
back to the minors. You're in the same city, so

1780
01:31:30,279 --> 01:31:32,279
you're gonna see the astro stuff all over the place

1781
01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:36,119
and you're outside playing. I mean, it is professional baseball.

1782
01:31:36,159 --> 01:31:38,359
He's still getting paid. So there's worse thing to do

1783
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:44,640

Oh he's not gonna be there. Channel Rome may come by.

1797
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:22,600
Really he was thinking about it. Okay, and then the

Astros pull the Yankees at six. It's a rappele rev game,

1808
01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:53,119
What makes you say that? Because you're because you're a

1809
01:32:53,159 --> 01:32:55,920
passer honor. That's not true. All right, other things going

1810
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,000
on today, So again, we want to see you at

1811

o'clock until two. Ross be wearing something Texas related. I'll

1813
01:33:05,039 --> 01:33:07,199
be wearing probably you have h gear. I'll probably be

1814
01:33:07,199 --> 01:33:09,079
wearing a seven ninety polo like I did last time.

1815
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:12,760
A couple of those. I only got one. I've been

1816
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,279
here like fifteen years and got one. That's not true.

1817
01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:17,079
I'm just saying you got a pack of those Kobe

1818
01:33:17,119 --> 01:33:20,560
Stevens ones. Well, that's true, thanks Kobe. Yeah, stop lying.

1819
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:23,680
It's Dan's guy. Yeah. I heard Dan talking about it

1820
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:26,760
today as a matter of fact. Okay, So at the

1821
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:32,359
Texans practice, Cam Robinson was wearing a jersey. Am I

1822
01:33:32,359 --> 01:33:36,760
supposed excited about that? Yeah, he's supposed to suck right. No,

1823
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:41,199
he's supposed to be the placeholder for whom Arianta ERSII.

1824
01:33:41,319 --> 01:33:43,920
I thought he was at right tackle. Yeah, but okay,

1825
01:33:44,039 --> 01:33:46,439
he's the left tackle placeholder. He's the heir apparents of

1826
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:50,399
left tackle. Is Come on, now, do you think people

1827
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:55,119
get do you think this is a loaded question? Does

1828
01:33:55,199 --> 01:33:58,840
the average fan could you name the offensive line left

1829
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:01,680
or right? And do they really even care? I don't know,

1830
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:09,560
I don't know, man. Okay, let me continue on. Well,

1831
01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:13,359
the Nick Chubb did not practice today. Damian Pierce got

1832
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:15,039
first team reps. It sounds like to me of what

1833
01:34:15,119 --> 01:34:18,159
they did in West Virginia was just a bunch. They

1834
01:34:18,159 --> 01:34:21,000
didn't go through full GARB. They just walked through a

1835
01:34:21,039 --> 01:34:22,680
bunch of things today, so it sounds like it was

1836
01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:24,880
pretty light. They'll have a full workout tomorrow and then

1837
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,760
they go to Minneapolis on Friday and play the Vikings

1838
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:30,920
on Saturday. I'll put it this way, if the if

1839
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:33,239
the Texans had one of the best offensive lines in football,

1840
01:34:33,239 --> 01:34:34,840
I think the more the average fan would be able

1841
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:37,800
to name. I'll give you an example. Who's talk about

1842
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:40,680
Laken Tomlinson and Juice s Gruggs. Right when the Texans

1843
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:43,079
had an awesome line, Remember when they won the first rate.

1844
01:34:43,439 --> 01:34:46,800
We knew who Mike Brizell was. We knew who Eric

1845
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:50,319
Winston was. We knew who Chris Myers was. Give me

1846
01:34:50,319 --> 01:34:53,439
a couple others. Dwayne Brown, Dwayne Brown. There's one more

1847
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:57,520
missing we missing the wait not ed Wade urom the Chiefs.

1848
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:03,239
He was uh Wade Wade Wade wa Wade Miley. No,

1849
01:35:03,399 --> 01:35:07,279
it was not Wade Miley. This daughter plays volleyball. Wade.

1850
01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:10,640
Oh god, Wade Smith. Wade Smith, we knew those guys. Yeah,

1851
01:35:11,359 --> 01:35:13,600
m hmm. But if you suck, we don't really care

1852
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:17,279
who you are. Just get out. No until you like

1853
01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:21,399
really suck and you're you're getting well, you're getting destroyed

1854
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:23,119
for three sacks and then they know your name. That

1855
01:35:23,199 --> 01:35:24,960
is not a good way. Just who we knew more

1856
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:28,119
than anybody else last year Kenyan Green Well, we knew him,

1857
01:35:28,319 --> 01:35:31,520
and we also knew Laramie Tunsil one because he's selfish too.

1858
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:33,600
He's on a real team, captain number three. He doesn't

1859
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:35,800
go to mini camp. He's voted by the players. But

1860
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,880
the players were that was ridiculous. They they that was

1861
01:35:39,119 --> 01:35:41,119
that was they were forced to pick him. No, players

1862
01:35:41,119 --> 01:35:44,119
aren't forced to pick Oh my god, Larmi Tounsil walks

1863
01:35:44,199 --> 01:35:46,359
room and says, I better be captain. Oh hell yeah,

1864
01:35:46,359 --> 01:35:49,159
that's what are they gonna do. He's gonna get even

1865
01:35:49,239 --> 01:35:52,039
he's gonna miss even more practices. He said, I'm gonna

1866
01:35:52,039 --> 01:35:54,039
go false start every play if you guys don't vote

1867
01:35:54,079 --> 01:35:56,079
the captain. So a captain actually could have happened. So

1868
01:35:56,159 --> 01:35:58,079
a captain doesn't show up to ota is a captain

1869
01:35:58,159 --> 01:36:00,399
showed a mini camp. But captain doesn't show up and

1870
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:03,640
creates problems in the offensive line room. Bulloney, he wasn't

1871
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:05,399
a captain. You may have gotten it, but he wasn't

1872
01:36:05,399 --> 01:36:07,479
a captain. Got his ass out of here. Good for you.

1873
01:36:08,079 --> 01:36:08,199
Speaker 6: You know.

1874
01:36:08,239 --> 01:36:12,640
Speaker 1: That's why I'm a Texans fan, because at least because

1875
01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:14,359
at least to me, got realize you gotta get rid

1876
01:36:14,399 --> 01:36:19,520
of the bad seeds in there. Cam Robinson probably a

1877
01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:22,079
swater fellow, but he's not a good enough player. It's

1878
01:36:22,079 --> 01:36:26,279
all about Texans culture. Okay, culture is all cool until

1879
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:30,159
Miles Garrett's on the other side. Oh God, don't bring

1880
01:36:30,239 --> 01:36:33,640
that up. Texas with the Cowboys this year. No, So

1881
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:36,560
we don't think so my comparison is ever going to

1882
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:37,159
show up again?

1883
01:36:37,239 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 9: Or is he is?

1884
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:38,560
Speaker 6: He is?

1885
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:40,479
Speaker 1: This has been one long negotiating ploy.

1886
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:42,680
Speaker 9: Uh.

1887
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said it's not likely he's signed, right, I

1888
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:58,000
don't know. So, Like you know, in the world of wrestling,

1889
01:36:58,039 --> 01:37:01,079
they call it a work, or they create a storyline

1890
01:37:01,119 --> 01:37:04,279
that's not really a storyline. Could this be a work

1891
01:37:04,319 --> 01:37:07,760
between Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons? To what end that

1892
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:10,520
he shows up, signs a contract and it's kumbayao. He's

1893
01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:13,479
going to get the fans all revved up excited. I

1894
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:15,279
don't feel like that's the case, but I'm just throwing

1895
01:37:15,319 --> 01:37:17,479
that out. Okay, I'm gonna say I don't think so.

1896
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:19,039
I don't think so either. I think I think he

1897
01:37:19,159 --> 01:37:21,279
wants his cash. I wouldn't get that that would be

1898
01:37:21,279 --> 01:37:22,840
and I just don't get it. I guess if you're

1899
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:24,800
trying to drum up interest and keep the Cowboys on

1900
01:37:25,039 --> 01:37:28,439
ESPN every morning, I guess that does work. Are the ESPN?

1901
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:32,000
Are the Lakers and the Cowboys and Lebron ever gonna

1902
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:37,760
get off of ESPN? No? You know what, because people

1903
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:41,119
watch it. That gets them the most ratings. People always

1904
01:37:41,159 --> 01:37:44,119
complain about the content. Guess what, Like if you put

1905
01:37:44,199 --> 01:37:49,680
on ESPN between six am and ten am, how much

1906
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:53,840
baseball are you getting? Very little? Very little? Like the

1907
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:56,439
Stephen A. Smith talking about inside out swings like who's

1908
01:37:56,439 --> 01:37:58,279
the hottest semen baseball right now? And has been for

1909
01:37:58,319 --> 01:38:01,439
about a month two months now? R Lens No, oh,

1910
01:38:02,319 --> 01:38:06,800
the Brewers Brewers. I can't imagine Stephen A. Smith getting

1911
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:12,199
into a deep dive in Milwaukee Brewer baseball. I would

1912
01:38:12,279 --> 01:38:16,520
say that is very very unlikely. Matthew. It feels like

1913
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:18,159
to me, in the last two years of watching those

1914
01:38:18,239 --> 01:38:25,000
morning shows, it has been Aaron Rodgers, Lebron James, Cowboy

1915
01:38:25,079 --> 01:38:27,840
related and Jets related. When Mike Greenberg hosts the show.

1916
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:31,239
Other than that, be damn with everybody else. Oh, Pat

1917
01:38:31,279 --> 01:38:34,359
Mahomes gets probably quite a bit of run too, right, Yeah,

1918
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:37,520
those are you stick with those five topics. You've essentially

1919
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:41,279
given you ESPN's programming for ten months a year. That's

1920
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:44,640
what they keep doing, that's what keeps getting them rating.

1921
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:46,640
But it's all about the change. Because Kevin Durant is

1922
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:49,760
going to be wearing rocket gear, and again I call

1923
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,720
that short sighted. You have to build things out. You

1924
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:55,880
have to make the fans care about Steph grow because

1925
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:57,680
you know what I got news for you. Y'all know

1926
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:01,720
this that are good baseball fans. We're gonna have the

1927
01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:05,399
most may not be the game to me, the big greatest.

1928
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:10,600
We're gonna have the most uncertain postseason and maybe ross

1929
01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:14,439
the history of you and I doing a show, I

1930
01:39:15,039 --> 01:39:17,800
you could name four teams in the National League that

1931
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:21,039
can easily win it. You could name six teams easily

1932
01:39:21,039 --> 01:39:23,159
in the American Think that can win the World Series. No,

1933
01:39:23,279 --> 01:39:25,560
I think it's the Astros. Well, I mean, I hope

1934
01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:28,199
it's the Astros and it's everybody else. I like your

1935
01:39:28,239 --> 01:39:30,359
positivity as long as you are on sealthy. All right.

1936
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:33,199
One Boston rookie gets a big contract. How does that impact?

1937
01:39:33,279 --> 01:39:35,399
Cam Smith will tell you about that after I tell

1938
01:39:35,399 --> 01:39:45,319
you about Uptown appliance Repair. All right. Roman Anthony Ross

1939
01:39:45,319 --> 01:39:49,039
you knew who that is? Yes, was one of the

1940
01:39:49,079 --> 01:39:51,880
top prospects in baseball. He's an outfielder for the Boston

1941
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:57,439
Red Sox. He has played forty one games this year.

1942
01:39:57,600 --> 01:40:02,760
Forty six games for the Boston in Red Sox OPSKA

1943
01:40:03,039 --> 01:40:07,479
twenty eight. His b WAR is one point eight. That's

1944
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:10,079
pretty good. Explain the audience what a b war is.

1945
01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:13,239
There's different types of what wars wins above replacement. There's

1946
01:40:13,279 --> 01:40:15,720
b war, which is done by Baseball Reference that's more

1947
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:20,359
tailored to on field results. F war is kind of

1948
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:23,680
I would say, that's fangrafts war. That's more of like,

1949
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:28,159
more about batted ball than actual results and stuff like that.

1950
01:40:28,279 --> 01:40:31,119
And there's also a Baseball perspectives war, which is purely

1951
01:40:31,399 --> 01:40:37,520
on It throws away any sort of outcome of anything.

1952
01:40:38,039 --> 01:40:39,960
And I don't know if that makes sense for example,

1953
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:43,439
if a guy has a really high XBA or something

1954
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:46,319
like that, he had good expected outcomes, you're going to

1955
01:40:46,359 --> 01:40:49,960
be ranked the highest probably on baseball perspectus definition of war.

1956
01:40:50,399 --> 01:40:53,279
They try to make it per I don't know too much.

1957
01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:56,439
You did, you did? Okay? Thanks, that's a good So

1958
01:40:56,680 --> 01:40:59,560
his b war is one point eight? His opsa twenty

1959
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:02,399
eight nine? What aps? Ops? I don't care what b

1960
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:06,279
war is. OPS is a twenty eight. Yeah. If you're like,

1961
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:08,239
if you get a war of like seven or eight

1962
01:41:08,279 --> 01:41:10,279
and one of the best players in baseball, Okay, so

1963
01:41:10,399 --> 01:41:12,800
two and forty something games is very good for a

1964
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:16,880
young player. He is getting a contract that will start

1965
01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:20,359
in twenty twenty six. This is according to I'm gonna

1966
01:41:20,359 --> 01:41:23,479
mention it is includes significant escalators that could make the

1967
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:27,159
maximum value of the deal worth two hundred and thirty

1968
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:30,520
million dollars. So they're buying out many years of arbitration

1969
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:34,600
and probably what three or four years of his free

1970
01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:37,880
agency period. Yeah, I don't know if it's exactly how

1971
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:44,920
long it is. Okay, same class as Cam Smith? Yeah,

1972
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,680
depending on where you look, he was either the number

1973
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:49,800
one or number two prospect in baseball. Cam Smith is

1974
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:51,960
twenty two years old, so it's a year old er

1975
01:41:52,039 --> 01:41:55,199
that that makes a big difference. OPS is significantly different.

1976
01:41:55,239 --> 01:41:57,760
It's seven oh two in his b war in ninety

1977
01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:00,760
eight games is one point seven, so you are slightly

1978
01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:04,399
down the op OPS is significantly smaller. Yeah, and if

1979
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:07,079
you've played double the amount of games, the theory if

1980
01:42:07,159 --> 01:42:10,920
you're with one guy be size right. Yeah, so he

1981
01:42:11,079 --> 01:42:14,399
should have accrued if he was on pace, he should

1982
01:42:14,399 --> 01:42:16,159
have accrued double the amount of war that he has

1983
01:42:16,199 --> 01:42:17,880
because he's gotten about a double the amount of games.

1984
01:42:18,399 --> 01:42:20,239
That's that makes sense. It's not a great indicator then,

1985
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:23,520
So I guess what everybody's trying to do. The Baseball

1986
01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:26,760
War is trying to connect. Do the Astros do something

1987
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:29,359
close to what Roman Anthony is getting from the Red

1988
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:31,359
Sox And we don't have come in that because again

1989
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:33,159
I'm terrible when it comes to numbers. I don't want

1990
01:42:33,159 --> 01:42:37,039
to get no stop what it's got two years left.

1991
01:42:37,079 --> 01:42:39,199
I'm not talking about Jeremy Hearn from my camps. Eight years,

1992
01:42:39,199 --> 01:42:43,479
one hundred and thirty million dollars. That's all the arbitration

1993
01:42:45,399 --> 01:42:48,279
in two years, a couple of years of free agency. Well,

1994
01:42:48,319 --> 01:42:50,640
if it's after next year, then yeah, then it's three right,

1995
01:42:51,399 --> 01:42:54,960
three years of free agency? Yeah, yeah, starts twenty six.

1996
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:56,600
It's eight years because you got your be a six

1997
01:42:56,680 --> 01:43:02,359
year player. Yeah, eight years, three years of freegency, eight

1998
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:07,239
one thirty. I mean those last three years are gonna

1999
01:43:07,239 --> 01:43:09,000
look really nice on the on the bottom line, but

2000
01:43:09,399 --> 01:43:13,399
you are way overpaying for what his number would be arbitration,

2001
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:17,119
at least during the arbitration years. Just throwing it out there.

2002
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:22,560
If he's if his OPS is what I tell you

2003
01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:25,800
is in the middle A twenty eight and Cam Smith

2004
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:28,199
is seven of two. But Camps, if I'm Cam Smith agent,

2005
01:43:28,279 --> 01:43:32,840
I want to eat one thirty. Well, good luck not

2006
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,960
thought of as a prospect and not having the results,

2007
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:41,880
but the Astros if he has that breakout season, because

2008
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:44,560
he's gonna get past all this freshman I played a

2009
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:48,399
lot of games that would then come into play where

2010
01:43:48,399 --> 01:43:50,079
I mean, do they do they think camp Smith's gonna

2011
01:43:50,079 --> 01:43:51,960
be a good player? They think is Cam Smith a

2012
01:43:52,119 --> 01:43:56,359
cornerstone right fielder for this team? Or could he be

2013
01:43:56,399 --> 01:43:59,920
a cornerstone third basement Ultimately defensively, yes, I would say

2014
01:44:00,039 --> 01:44:01,760
I don't think he's gone. I mean, we'll see, but

2015
01:44:01,880 --> 01:44:05,359
he's been right field has been fitting him like a glove.

2016
01:44:07,119 --> 01:44:11,600
It absolutely has. And here's the thing. He can fill

2017
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,119
this position. And you need a really good arm in

2018
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:17,199
right field. You need your best outfield arm, a third basin.

2019
01:44:17,199 --> 01:44:19,359
There's nobody in the ASTROS organization. I don't think Jacot

2020
01:44:19,399 --> 01:44:20,720
Melon's considered to have a prime arm.

2021
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:21,159
Speaker 6: Is that right?

2022
01:44:21,239 --> 01:44:21,520
Speaker 1: Correct?

2023
01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:21,760
Speaker 8: On that?

2024
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't think so. He's the athletic. He can run

2025
01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:25,880
and chase stuff down. But Jake Myers doesn't have a

2026
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:28,680
good arm, chas McCormick doesn't have a good arm. He

2027
01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:31,399
sus Sanchez throws the wrong base. But other than that,

2028
01:44:32,119 --> 01:44:39,239
come on, man, okay, well, just throwing out there eight

2029
01:44:39,319 --> 01:44:41,640
one thirty for a guy who's ops is one hundred

2030
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:44,560
and twenty five points a ze point eight ward forty

2031
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:51,159
six games is pretty insane. Actually, so money well spent well,

2032
01:44:51,840 --> 01:45:00,680
who knows TBD the the Red Sox. It's for both sides.

2033
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:03,079
On Anthony, Good morning, Good afternoon.

2034
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:06,399
Speaker 4: Hey, good afternoon, guys. Hey, I do have an ASTROS

2035
01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:09,279
question for you all. But first I wanted to comment

2036
01:45:09,319 --> 01:45:14,199
on the ESPN the national shows you guys were talking about,

2037
01:45:14,319 --> 01:45:17,039
you know, six or seven years ago, you know I

2038
01:45:17,079 --> 01:45:19,039
would wake up the first thing I would do is

2039
01:45:19,079 --> 01:45:23,239
turn on first Take. But these days, like, I mean,

2040
01:45:23,279 --> 01:45:26,119
you got these guys, y'all disagree on everything, You'll have

2041
01:45:26,199 --> 01:45:28,960
to yell and vicker about everything. Everything's a hot stakes.

2042
01:45:29,399 --> 01:45:31,399
How many years do I have to listen to Dan

2043
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:36,439
Orlowski rank Justin Herbert in the top five quarterbacks just

2044
01:45:36,479 --> 01:45:38,039
because he plays for an LA team?

2045
01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:42,600
Speaker 9: Like these shows are are are garbage these days.

2046
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 4: I'm sorry if you guys like watching those, but it

2047
01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:48,800
all feels scripted. It all feels like we have to

2048
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:53,520
argue about everything and it's all LA New York and

2049
01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:56,720
Patrick Mahomes walks on water. I mean, I'd much rather

2050
01:45:56,840 --> 01:46:02,079
listen to you guys, or Sean or the Adams. But yeah,

2051
01:46:02,199 --> 01:46:06,479
those shows are not what they used to be. But

2052
01:46:06,640 --> 01:46:11,840
my Astros question is, Matt i Astraw yesterday, you know

2053
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:14,640
what you thought, who would play where? If the Astros

2054
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:18,600
get healthy today? I want to ask you with what

2055
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:22,760
they have right now, and I would like to include

2056
01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:25,199
Christian Javier and that because we know he's coming back.

2057
01:46:25,680 --> 01:46:28,479
With what they have right now, do you guys think

2058
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:30,840
that this team can win the ALCS and make it to.

2059
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:38,399
Speaker 1: The World Series. We'll answer that because we owe the

2060
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:42,840
audience the lineup with with Alvarez. Okay, oh yeah, we're

2061
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:44,920
supposed to do that. I don't think I can do that.

2062
01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:46,000
I'm doing it.

2063
01:46:46,399 --> 01:46:46,880
Speaker 8: You do it?

2064
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:49,119
Speaker 1: Can I disagree with you or disagree with you?

2065
01:46:49,239 --> 01:46:49,399
Speaker 13: Sure?

2066
01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:49,680
Speaker 2: Why not?

2067
01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:54,000
Speaker 1: The question was posed to us just a minute ago

2068
01:46:54,079 --> 01:46:57,159
from our good friend Anthony. Can the Astros win the

2069
01:46:57,239 --> 01:47:01,000
American League Championship if every but he gets back healthy?

2070
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:05,560
All right, we're about to pose the lineup for the Astros.

2071
01:47:07,199 --> 01:47:08,720
Ross is gonna do it. I'm going to be a

2072
01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:14,880
conscientious objector to this. Yeah, why because when you get

2073
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:15,479
so sore?

2074
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:15,920
Speaker 8: Man?

2075
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:18,520
Speaker 1: Do you know my reasons? Hey, come on, we can

2076
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:21,560
run through the lineup. I don't know why I'm talking

2077
01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:23,359
like that. Why are you on sixty six?

2078
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:24,199
Speaker 10: W whiff?

2079
01:47:26,520 --> 01:47:31,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge needs to get Timmy John stupid ass Yankees.

2080
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:34,960
Freddy has been transferred to the sixty day injured list.

2081
01:47:35,079 --> 01:47:35,800
It's just paperwork.

2082
01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:36,199
Speaker 6: It's fine.

2083
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:39,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay. He's not playing again this year. He might,

2084
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:43,319
it's my gut tells me. No, I think I think

2085
01:47:43,359 --> 01:47:47,439
I'm I don't feel care about this. CBS announcer announcer

Ross time for you, is that me as a conscious

subjector to create the beautiful Astros healthy lineup? Go okay,

2104
01:48:57,119 --> 01:49:03,680
Matt leading off at short It is Jeremy Pania batting

2105
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:06,760
second for the Houston Astros at second base. If it's

2106
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:10,079
not from Ervalde is a heavy ground ball pitcher, it's

2107
01:49:10,079 --> 01:49:14,600
gonna be Jose al Tuvec batting third, designated hitter, your

2108
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:19,439
Don Alvarez batting cleanup. At the hot corner, it will

2109
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:24,199
be Carlos Correa batting fifth. At the cold corner, it

2110
01:49:24,279 --> 01:49:28,439
will be Christian Walker. Okay, batting sixth, depending on the

2111
01:49:28,479 --> 01:49:30,479
handedness of the picture, but we'll go with theiner Diaz

2112
01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:32,359
could be Victor Karattini in the spot. Are a little

2113
01:49:32,359 --> 01:49:35,479
bit of shuffling. He will be a catcher batting seventh.

2114
01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:39,800
Jesu's Sanchez in a left field, batting eighth, Cam Smith

2115
01:49:39,880 --> 01:49:43,000
in right field? Is nice, isn't it? And then batting ninth,

2116
01:49:43,159 --> 01:49:47,000
it'll be your center fielder Jake Myers, Mauricio Dbaud, Taylor Tremmel.

2117
01:49:47,199 --> 01:49:49,119
Depending on the handedness of the picture, is the ninth

2118
01:49:49,199 --> 01:49:54,199
is to be determined. Yes, that's a sexy ass lineup,

2119
01:49:54,279 --> 01:50:00,159
isn't it. Cam Smith in the eight hole? Now if

2120
01:50:00,199 --> 01:50:01,960
alto if they don't want al Twove at second, you

2121
01:50:02,039 --> 01:50:05,119
stick him in left and then you go platoon between

2122
01:50:05,199 --> 01:50:08,600
Sanchez and camp Smith depending on what's happening there, and

2123
01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:13,840
then maybe you fit in. Ramon Yirius Ureus. You got options.

2124
01:50:14,560 --> 01:50:17,439
It feels good. Okay, let me just be gonhead. It

2125
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:22,760
sounds spectacular, dude. It sounds like to the previous call, Anthony,

2126
01:50:23,079 --> 01:50:26,279
you can win the American League with that absolutely Hunter

2127
01:50:26,359 --> 01:50:29,359
Brown on the mound in that lineup. I just read

2128
01:50:29,399 --> 01:50:33,039
you a Dubs go in and run. Run that four

2129
01:50:33,079 --> 01:50:35,000
man rotation for the playoffs, by the way, that will

2130
01:50:35,039 --> 01:50:39,520
be Hunter Brown, Farber Valdez, Spencer Arraghedty, and Christian Havevier.

2131
01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:41,399
You know the guy that was part of a World

2132
01:50:41,479 --> 01:50:46,039
Series no hitter. That guy got the rise ball el reptile.

2133
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:49,600
Unfazed by playoffs unless it's Game seven against the Rangers

2134
01:50:49,640 --> 01:50:55,520
and he's out in like two innings. Forest to be determined. Okay,

2135
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:59,079
So what you got options, Luis Carcia, how about it?

2136
01:50:59,119 --> 01:51:01,920
I got a wildcard for you, Brandon Walter four while

2137
01:51:02,399 --> 01:51:05,439
bullpen game. No, it's not gonna be a bullpen game.

2138
01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:07,239
You can't win, you can't want to. You can't win

2139
01:51:07,279 --> 01:51:09,199
a playoff with one of your guys being one of

2140
01:51:09,199 --> 01:51:11,880
your games being a bullpen every time out. Now, the

2141
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:16,000
Astros did win a bullpen playoff game before. The Detroit

2142
01:51:16,039 --> 01:51:18,319
Tigers won a bullpen playoff game before. I certainly did.

2143
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:23,560
But you're but you're you can't win multiple bullpen guys.

2144
01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:26,359
It's happened. Guys got a bull They've got a bullpen games.

2145
01:51:26,399 --> 01:51:28,520
And I mean, I'm sure I can find some some

2146
01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:32,760
history for that if we did enough digging. It's not ideal, Nope,

2147
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:35,319
but the Astros have options. I think we'll see what happens.

2148
01:51:35,359 --> 01:51:37,640
Of course, the health of the team on August sixth,

2149
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:39,079
Let's just be honest, it's not gonna be the same

2150
01:51:39,119 --> 01:51:41,880
health of the team come October sixth, because we're presuming

2151
01:51:41,920 --> 01:51:44,600
that every single player that is is now healthy and

2152
01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:46,680
that no one's gonna be no one else is gonna

2153
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:53,359
get hurt. Yeah somehow, Yeah, what what's what these deep

2154
01:51:53,439 --> 01:51:57,479
size I just gave you a lineup where the ninth

2155
01:51:57,560 --> 01:52:00,720
place hitter is hitting like three oh seven with an

2156
01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:04,000
OPS comfortably over seven hundred. He's got speed, he's getting

2157
01:52:04,039 --> 01:52:06,039
a lot of contact. He can turn over the lineup

2158
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,600
and then get on base for penal twove Alvarez to

2159
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:13,239
keep the ball rolling. Now, personally, I can't even put

2160
01:52:13,279 --> 01:52:16,039
Alvarez in the second spot. Actually I am. I am

2161
01:52:16,119 --> 01:52:18,640
pleased with your lineup. I think there was a reason

2162
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:21,760
why the Astros went for starting pitching. Don't be scared, Matty.

2163
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:26,960
Who's your scared? Who's your second right handed reliever? Who cares?

2164
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:30,000
All these lefties can get right? He's out. I can

2165
01:52:30,039 --> 01:52:31,600
go bring up the platoons, fits all of them. Now,

2166
01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:33,560
that's maybe a blanket statement. That's not true, and I'm

2167
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:35,640
being flippant. It sounds good, yeah, but I can say

2168
01:52:35,720 --> 01:52:38,359
with confidence and then pretend it's true. It's twenty twenty

2169
01:52:38,399 --> 01:52:40,119
five out one for you. If you need another right

2170
01:52:40,159 --> 01:52:44,920
hand reliever? Do you want calib ort? Do you want?

2171
01:52:45,239 --> 01:52:47,119
Don't even say it? You better not say where I

2172
01:52:47,119 --> 01:52:49,640
think you're gonna might say, all right, I won't say it.

2173
01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:54,880
Doesn't buy in messy. Oh come on, he just got

2174
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:59,119
dfayd Astros apparently corner Bob Night and Gale. We're kicking

2175
01:52:59,159 --> 01:53:01,520
the tires. I'm sure the tires are being kicked on

2176
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:06,119
League minimum. I'd rather have Hey, hector NAIs now he's

2177
01:53:06,119 --> 01:53:09,159
gonna be gone. He can be gone. You'd rather look

2178
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:13,880
Hector Nara's got DFA two. Ryan Presley was literally let go.

2179
01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:17,119
He's not good. He's thirty six years old. He was

2180
01:53:17,199 --> 01:53:19,760
slipping when he came here, and he's done slipped off

2181
01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:23,520
the rock, asked the Chicago Cubs can a Jay blue

2182
01:53:23,560 --> 01:53:27,039
ballby my second reliever? You're a second right handed reliever. No, look,

2183
01:53:27,039 --> 01:53:28,880
I'll bring up the platoon split to everybody. But it

2184
01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:31,399
feels like Susa and ochred are have been very good

2185
01:53:31,399 --> 01:53:34,119
at getting right. He's out, and that's just that's just

2186
01:53:34,199 --> 01:53:37,239
my gut feeling. I can get the actual numbers, Okay,

2187
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:41,199
I'll go with it. Seven one three two one two

2188
01:53:41,399 --> 01:53:45,199
five seven ninety seven one three two one two five

2189
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:47,760
seven ninety ross. What is today's edition? To believe or not?

2190
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:51,239
Coming up at about fifty five minutes from now? Okay, right,

2191
01:53:51,319 --> 01:53:52,960
he's our hitting Bennett Susa a little bit, let me

2192
01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:56,640
go Stephen Okert, No, you're all right? Six ninety one

2193
01:53:56,680 --> 01:54:05,880
opponent ops. Not great this year against righties, Stephen Okert,

2194
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:11,359
five twenty three opponents opponent ops four forty one against lefties,

2195
01:54:11,359 --> 01:54:14,479
five twenty three against righties. Okay, okres my second righting,

2196
01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:19,560
what's up? We're done? Lineup is set. Who's gonna be

2197
01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:22,199
the one that tells Lance mccullor is not in the

2198
01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:30,359
UH playoff roster, Joe A. Spottom had better be. I mean,

2199
01:54:30,479 --> 01:54:32,520
this is even and on the eve is even on

2200
01:54:32,600 --> 01:54:35,880
the forty man come playoff time doesn't matter, you don't.

2201
01:54:35,880 --> 01:54:37,600
As long as you're in the organization, you can be

2202
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:40,840
And so you're saying you'd be flat out read just released.

2203
01:54:42,159 --> 01:54:44,039
By the way, just for those who know, September first.

2204
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:50,520
As long as you're in the organization by September first,

2205
01:54:50,640 --> 01:54:52,800
you can play on in the playoffs. Doesn't matter if

2206
01:54:52,800 --> 01:54:54,159
you're on the forty men or not. As long as

2207
01:54:54,199 --> 01:55:00,560
you're in the organization, what what matter? You give me

2208
01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:03,439
a sturty look. Brian King versus right, he's five ninety

2209
01:55:03,479 --> 01:55:08,880
two appointed ops versus lefties nine. No, that's made up numbers.

2210
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:13,640
Make this up. Ross is making up numbers. Twelve fifties

2211
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:16,000
of Brian Kingen your right, he's out too. Sports Top

Sports Talk seven ninety It is a Matt Thomas show

2216
01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:33,880
with Ross. I know Ross so well that when he

2217
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:37,359
tells me things I can read him beautifully, like, oh

2218
01:55:37,439 --> 01:55:39,840
that's gonna really gonna happen, or that's no chance, no way.

2219
01:55:39,920 --> 01:55:42,720
And you see, we just had an argument about something

2220
01:55:42,760 --> 01:55:44,239
that I know I'm going to be right about. And

2221
01:55:44,279 --> 01:55:46,279
a new day, it's a new dawn, and we can't

2222
01:55:46,319 --> 01:55:50,600
discuss what it is life for me. It's just you know,

2223
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:53,880
like Jonathan, if you were with this more than a year,

2224
01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:55,319
we'll probably feel the same way about you about a

2225
01:55:55,359 --> 01:55:57,399
variety things. But I've been working with him for fifteen years,

2226
01:55:57,439 --> 01:56:01,159
so you just know somebody, all right, ob how was

2227
01:56:01,199 --> 01:56:05,159
ross when you first met him? Twenty four? How twenty

2228
01:56:05,239 --> 01:56:10,000
four know? How was how was well? How was I? Polite? Nice, respectful,

2229
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:13,600
a lot more optimistic? This business has sapped the life.

2230
01:56:13,720 --> 01:56:15,880
It feels like his life is over as a professional.

2231
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:19,840
Oh my god, man. I've tried to get him too places.

2232
01:56:19,840 --> 01:56:22,600
I tried to get him jobs in like Columbia, Missouri

2233
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:27,720
said bad thing, Vermont. You couldn't even get me a

2234
01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:29,640
job in Minneapolis. That's when I knew you were just

2235
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:31,720
telling people behind my back that I was no good.

2236
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:35,000
I couldn't send you to Minneapolis. It's too cold, too

2237
01:56:35,079 --> 01:56:39,039
cold for you. Yeah, you're right, thank you, Thanks Matt.

2238
01:56:39,720 --> 01:56:42,079
I didn't realize. Now I knew Brian. I thought Brian

2239
01:56:42,199 --> 01:56:43,680
King was pretty good of getting right he's out, but

2240
01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:45,520
I didn't know he's so bad at getting lefties out.

2241
01:56:46,680 --> 01:56:48,880
In the two years is the Astros seven to fifty

2242
01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:54,800
seven ops against against lefties? They called that reverse platoon splits, folks.

2243
01:56:54,800 --> 01:56:55,720
I understand what they call it.

2244
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:56,239
Speaker 9: I know you do.

2245
01:56:56,439 --> 01:56:59,119
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a ounce or not. We Brian Kings

2246
01:56:59,159 --> 01:57:01,960
are getting rights out. It's all good. Brian King and

2247
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:05,760
Oker can get right. He's out. So you want no Presley, No,

2248
01:57:06,760 --> 01:57:09,880
you don't want playoff Presley, playoff press. He has been

2249
01:57:09,960 --> 01:57:12,079
very good, but that was a long time ago. I'm

2250
01:57:12,119 --> 01:57:14,560
sure Dennis Eckersley was great in the playoffs. They're not

2251
01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:19,079
gonna go sign him up. Okay, I would agree with you,

2252
01:57:19,159 --> 01:57:23,159
but I'm just saying he's gonna be No, he's gonna

2253
01:57:23,199 --> 01:57:26,479
be thought of. If Nightingale says the tires are being kicked,

2254
01:57:26,479 --> 01:57:29,199
the tires are being kicked, Yeah, I'm sure he's probably

2255
01:57:29,239 --> 01:57:31,439
boys are Jim Crane, and Jim Crane's gonna make it happen.

2256
01:57:32,600 --> 01:57:35,560
By the way, pitching rotation has been set for some

2257
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:38,600
of the series against the Yankees. Friday Hunter Brown versus

2258
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:48,840
Win Cam s you say his last name Robinson, No Cam,

2259
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:54,359
the Smith, no of the Yankees? Uh what go ahead?

2260
01:57:54,359 --> 01:58:09,600
And you said go ahead? Litter schlitter Cam schwitter. Okay,

2261
01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:15,319
So it's Brown versus the it's brown and it's brown,

2262
01:58:16,239 --> 01:58:23,760
brown and slitter. Hmmm. Saturday Valdez versus Gil Sunday, it's

2263
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:28,800
TBA versus Max Free. Don't call him Friday, So Brown

2264
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:35,039
shwater on Friday? Huh happens. You're such a child, you'll

2265
01:58:35,079 --> 01:58:37,880
be embarrassed. I learned from you. I didn't take you anything.

2266
01:58:38,119 --> 01:58:38,399
Speaker 11: I think.

2267
01:58:38,439 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 1: I haven't say it that way. You wouldn't even say

2268
01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:44,199
his name as some boy used to him by the Texans.

2269
01:58:44,239 --> 01:58:48,760
By the way, he's rising to the top. That boo ooh,

2270
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:51,359
you gotta boo from him. I get booze from him,

2271
01:58:51,439 --> 01:58:54,119
like weekly. Come on, now, that was that? That was

2272
01:58:54,159 --> 01:58:56,600
the easy pickings, got it? You gotta thing. We're clever

2273
01:58:56,680 --> 01:58:59,800
than that. Yeah, that's how he's doing. Oh is that

2274
01:58:59,880 --> 01:59:04,920
a I didn't even realize. Hey, that's my funny. Brian

2275
01:59:05,039 --> 01:59:07,359
and friends would at what six? Brian, thank you for

2276
01:59:07,479 --> 01:59:09,479
joining us in this show. We call them. Mount Thomas

2277
01:59:09,479 --> 01:59:10,560
showed Ross. How are things?

2278
01:59:12,079 --> 01:59:13,520
Speaker 8: I'm great? How are you good?

2279
01:59:15,399 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 16: I was just giving you guys a call because I

2280
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:21,720
had some thoughts on our prospect down there in Sugarland

2281
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:26,479
and Miguel you all up. I just was wondering what

2282
01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:30,000
his availability would be in the back end of our pid.

2283
01:59:31,760 --> 01:59:34,279
Speaker 1: Well, he's a starting pitcher now. The difference is and

2284
01:59:34,359 --> 01:59:36,960
thank you for the phone call, Brian. I looked at

2285
01:59:37,039 --> 01:59:39,119
some of his splits. He doesn't go deep in games.

2286
01:59:40,119 --> 01:59:42,760
They don't normally do that for minor leaguers. Yeah, no,

2287
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:46,079
And whether they're preserving the arm or they don't want

2288
01:59:46,079 --> 01:59:50,079
to stretch him out, I don't know what they're anticipating

2289
01:59:50,119 --> 01:59:53,119
him being. But he has started the entire season for them,

2290
01:59:53,199 --> 01:59:57,760
or most of the season. I've got some five inning starts.

2291
01:59:58,359 --> 02:00:00,560
I'm trying to pull up his home and Rode splits.

2292
02:00:02,920 --> 02:00:07,960
But he's got pretty good numbers. But he would be

2293
02:00:08,439 --> 02:00:10,840
what the fourth different guy if if the Astros brought

2294
02:00:10,880 --> 02:00:12,159
him up at any point this year, he'd be the

2295
02:00:12,159 --> 02:00:14,640
fourth different guy come out of there. No more than that.

2296
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:18,119
More than that, you got Walter Gordon Gusto blue ball.

2297
02:00:18,199 --> 02:00:20,520
That's four in front of the show Jason Alexander, Jason

2298
02:00:20,560 --> 02:00:28,920
Alexander at home. Miguel Uyola has great numbers. Nine games,

2299
02:00:29,039 --> 02:00:32,520
eight starts, one point seven e R. How many innings

2300
02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:36,800
in those eight starts? Thirty seven in nine games, so

2301
02:00:36,880 --> 02:00:42,000
he's going about fourish. That's yeah, that's I don't know

2302
02:00:42,159 --> 02:00:45,920
that that that the numbers don't drive to that. Yeah.

2303
02:00:46,239 --> 02:00:51,079
On the road, ten starts five to eighteen e R

2304
02:00:51,720 --> 02:00:54,159
whip a one six, five six. How many innings in

2305
02:00:54,199 --> 02:00:57,359
those ten games forty one? Oh yeah, he doesn't go

2306
02:00:57,399 --> 02:01:01,680
deep at all. That was That was just a generic

2307
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:05,479
baseball terminology. Last time out, he went five and a

2308
02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:11,600
third innings against the Tacoma rain Years and gave up

2309
02:01:11,600 --> 02:01:15,199
two urn rents. Okay, you know what, you know what

2310
02:01:15,279 --> 02:01:17,640
this team ROSSI I'm not kidding when I say this.

2311
02:01:17,840 --> 02:01:21,880
Uh sorry. The Astros need somebody that's gonna go seven

2312
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:24,119
and not sweat it out at all. And that's why

2313
02:01:24,199 --> 02:01:26,319
Frober is so valuable, and that's why Hunter Brown is

2314
02:01:26,359 --> 02:01:29,079
so valuable, because they're the only two guys. You don't

2315
02:01:29,079 --> 02:01:31,359
think Ragetty's gonna give you seven inks to There's no chance,

2316
02:01:31,439 --> 02:01:34,560
no way, no how last three starts, Uolas walked five

2317
02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:39,479
guys each start ooh, pitches eighty six, eighty nine, ninety two,

2318
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:41,560
ninety one. He's been throwing ninety pitches that got up

2319
02:01:41,600 --> 02:01:43,600
to ninety eight at some point, so the pitch nown's

2320
02:01:43,600 --> 02:01:45,720
been getting up there, so he's a little polished. He's

2321
02:01:45,760 --> 02:01:48,439
only twenty three. Yeah, I don't Yeah, just turned twenty three.

2322
02:01:48,479 --> 02:01:50,359
I don't think I've heard any rumblings of him being

2323
02:01:50,479 --> 02:01:55,600
on the CUSP. Yeah, sounds like control issues a little bit.

2324
02:01:56,880 --> 02:01:58,960
The name that was probably brought up more this off,

2325
02:01:59,159 --> 02:02:01,560
this pass off is anybody else was blueball and he

2326
02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:04,760
just been only given two opportunities, and as we talked

2327
02:02:04,760 --> 02:02:06,319
about before, he got passed up a couple of times.

2328
02:02:06,319 --> 02:02:09,399
It was good last time out, got rewarded by throwing

2329
02:02:09,479 --> 02:02:11,319
ninety seven a bunch last night. But the trip back

2330
02:02:11,319 --> 02:02:14,039
to Sugarland right out for the game, Yeah, and the

2331
02:02:14,119 --> 02:02:17,359
team plane probably not on the team plane right because

2332
02:02:17,359 --> 02:02:19,039
somebody as somebody was tweeting because they're going to New

2333
02:02:19,079 --> 02:02:21,199
York where they get the day off, and I forgot

2334
02:02:21,199 --> 02:02:23,880
about that. He's flying commercial back. They're going to New York,

2335
02:02:23,960 --> 02:02:24,960
are gonna pick him up?

2336
02:02:27,039 --> 02:02:27,159
Speaker 11: Now?

2337
02:02:27,239 --> 02:02:30,199
Speaker 1: I wonder miguelu Yola, because if you are a And

2338
02:02:30,279 --> 02:02:31,600
these are the things I've never asked. I need to

2339
02:02:31,600 --> 02:02:34,560
ask a travel the traveling secretary for the team. If

2340
02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:37,600
you're hurt and you fly commercial, you're gonna fly first

2341
02:02:37,640 --> 02:02:40,359
Classic can't. But they're not putting yourd on alborizing coach

2342
02:02:40,479 --> 02:02:43,199
between Houston and westbaum Beach. Doesn't it depend all?

2343
02:02:43,239 --> 02:02:43,399
Speaker 8: Though?

2344
02:02:43,560 --> 02:02:46,000
Speaker 1: Also, like what injury you have? Like, can't you if

2345
02:02:46,039 --> 02:02:48,239
you have some kind of different injuries you're not supposed

2346
02:02:48,239 --> 02:02:51,520
to fly because of the pressure change or something. Well,

2347
02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:53,039
how's he go get to how's he gonna get from

2348
02:02:53,039 --> 02:02:55,239
Houston Westbaum? I'm not thinking too much about Deshaun Watson

2349
02:02:55,279 --> 02:02:59,000
and has punctured long and how he had happening to

2350
02:02:59,079 --> 02:03:02,159
any other injury. No, I can't guarantee, but me either.

2351
02:03:02,199 --> 02:03:05,560
Pause this way. The only way Jordon went from Houston

2352
02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:10,560
to Florida is either first class or on a crane

2353
02:03:10,600 --> 02:03:13,279
private plane. Well, he's on a plane with the father

2354
02:03:13,399 --> 02:03:15,439
of a listener who says he's got a fracture and

2355
02:03:15,479 --> 02:03:18,119
he's going to be missing time. Remember that false report?

2356
02:03:18,159 --> 02:03:21,680
Oh well, I mean I still have been seen yet.

2357
02:03:22,479 --> 02:03:24,119
I don't want to crush the kid. He's only he's

2358
02:03:24,159 --> 02:03:28,039
only being reported what his dad told him. But yeah,

2359
02:03:28,079 --> 02:03:29,399
so if you get demoted, you have to go back

2360
02:03:29,439 --> 02:03:34,039
and coach. I guess that's what it's what the team.

2361
02:03:34,039 --> 02:03:35,720
I guess what teams spent on. I've probably giving him

2362
02:03:35,720 --> 02:03:38,640
first class or maybe he using miles. You can get

2363
02:03:38,720 --> 02:03:41,079
him boomed up, Jim Cranes. He using his miles maybe

2364
02:03:41,159 --> 02:03:42,399
you know, maybe blue ball. You know, and since you

2365
02:03:42,439 --> 02:03:43,600
did pitch him way or Shirre, we'll give you a

2366
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:48,239
economy plus. Uh, you should not travel via plane if

2367
02:03:48,279 --> 02:03:52,840
you've had a recent fracture. So he's okay. So there's

2368
02:03:52,920 --> 02:03:56,159
no way Jordon is taking a car or a train

2369
02:03:56,279 --> 02:04:00,399
to Florida. Any recent injury where trapped or air or

2370
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:03,279
gas may be present in the body. That's daily for me.

2371
02:04:04,439 --> 02:04:09,239
Chest or abdominal surgery, Nope, not an issue, eye surgery,

2372
02:04:09,960 --> 02:04:11,439
sore hand, that's what he's got.

2373
02:04:11,560 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 6: Ross.

2374
02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:18,720
Speaker 1: That's it. Unresolved neumo, thorax. Let the man gets get

2375
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:21,920
down to Florida safely, comfortably. I don't care if he

2376
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:23,399
takes a bus or a plane, as long as he's

2377
02:04:23,399 --> 02:04:25,880
getting his hacks in. Well, he's as they as the

2378
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:27,880
as the term is being used, he's getting he's going

2379
02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:32,439
through a hitting progression. Yes, Jake Myers is running on

2380
02:04:32,520 --> 02:04:35,000
flat ground. That sounds like a good thing. I don't

2381
02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:37,199
know why he's got to go uphill taals Hill's gone,

2382
02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:43,560
but he's on flat ground. Who we see in first

2383
02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:51,760
of the three jordond On Jake, Jordon Paradis Jordon promise

2384
02:04:52,119 --> 02:04:55,720
you'd put them in order. Predes we're gonna see in

2385
02:04:55,920 --> 02:04:59,119
March of twenty twenty six on the astros are somewhere else.

2386
02:05:00,279 --> 02:05:02,840
Not that you are ready for that question, was it?

2387
02:05:02,920 --> 02:05:08,159
But I'm gonna say, well, if you trade it, If

2388
02:05:08,199 --> 02:05:10,399
you trade him, he'd have to have the most thorough

2389
02:05:11,680 --> 02:05:15,359
physical examination by multiple dobviors. It would be contingent on

2390
02:05:15,680 --> 02:05:19,640
passing a physical. Yeah, but he's been traded twice already,

2391
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:21,720
So it's not like it's it's you got a friendly contract,

2392
02:05:21,760 --> 02:05:23,680
still has years left and be a gut feeling hit

2393
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:25,199
for you, And it would be, and you have it,

2394
02:05:25,319 --> 02:05:28,520
and you've got a logjam in your twenty twenty six infield,

2395
02:05:29,119 --> 02:05:32,399
somebody's not gonna be here. Hell do you do? You

2396
02:05:32,520 --> 02:05:36,239
move Bryce Matthews Because prospects are prospects for a starter,

2397
02:05:36,640 --> 02:05:38,520
for a starting picture or starting pitch, just throwing it

2398
02:05:38,600 --> 02:05:40,800
out there. But do you even need a starting pitcher

2399
02:05:40,880 --> 02:05:43,880
next season? If Garcia and or Hobvier and or arrogant

2400
02:05:44,159 --> 02:05:46,840
starting pitchers this year, well you, yeah, you need a

2401
02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:50,680
starting picture because you're already losing. Frommer, We're down. We're

2402
02:05:50,720 --> 02:05:54,039
down to about oh, come on, eight starts left for

2403
02:05:54,079 --> 02:05:58,720
Farmers an Astro plus playoffs. I want him to be

2404
02:05:58,760 --> 02:06:02,000
good in the playoffs because he said some playoff meltdowns,

2405
02:06:03,640 --> 02:06:06,319
we'll just bunt towards his way and he fortune can't

2406
02:06:06,319 --> 02:06:11,039
fiel his position. Jimmy Williams, former aster manager, would just

2407
02:06:11,159 --> 02:06:14,000
lose his mind when his pictures could not feel their position. Well,

2408
02:06:14,039 --> 02:06:15,720
then he wouldn't like Fromber about this, and he was

2409
02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:18,319
a cranky sob gott I hate it. He would love

2410
02:06:18,399 --> 02:06:22,760
that crinky oh for sure, gold Glove guy absolutely all right.

2411
02:06:22,840 --> 02:06:25,079
While one fourteen on the Matt Thomas Show with Ross

2412
02:06:25,079 --> 02:06:28,079
seven one three, two seven, we have Brian Bogus seven

2413
02:06:28,119 --> 02:06:31,239
coming up in fifteen minutes. ROSSI was Sady's edition to

2414
02:06:31,279 --> 02:06:33,760
Believe or not? Oh my god, are we still doing that? Yes,

2415
02:06:34,560 --> 02:06:38,359
we've done it for the fourteen plus years. I don't

2416
02:06:38,399 --> 02:06:41,600
know who dies. Let's do Lonnie Anderson Part two, No

2417
02:06:41,800 --> 02:06:44,600
we're not doing eight more. Helana Anderson questions, why not

2418
02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:49,239
trying to think who what's the most again?

2419
02:06:49,479 --> 02:06:49,600
Speaker 9: Uh?

2420
02:06:50,640 --> 02:06:56,039
Speaker 1: Red Zone? No, wwe No, Howard Stern is losing his deal.

2421
02:06:56,119 --> 02:06:59,920
That's serious, believe it or not, Howard Stern. No. I mean,

2422
02:07:00,319 --> 02:07:02,760
how many have you listened to a long term Howard Stern.

2423
02:07:02,800 --> 02:07:05,239
I used to watch that show on E. I listened

2424
02:07:05,279 --> 02:07:07,119
for those long term interviews, but I don't listen for

2425
02:07:07,239 --> 02:07:10,000
just a Burke show and that Howard Stern show back

2426
02:07:10,039 --> 02:07:13,479
to back on E. Those some good times. Really?

2427
02:07:13,840 --> 02:07:14,039
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2428
02:07:15,199 --> 02:07:15,800
Speaker 1: Are you alone?

2429
02:07:16,479 --> 02:07:16,520
Speaker 2: No?

2430
02:07:17,319 --> 02:07:19,520
Speaker 1: You aren't. Oh, it's even better. Was that the bar?

2431
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:20,119
Speaker 13: Oh?

2432
02:07:20,279 --> 02:07:22,359
Speaker 1: No, that's that's a lie. Here's you were at home

the name of Jen Powaul p A w O L.

2439
02:07:42,840 --> 02:07:46,079
Would that be? How you pronounce it? Rossie Powell? Maybe?

2440
02:07:46,279 --> 02:07:46,479
Speaker 9: Sure?

2441
02:07:46,560 --> 02:07:46,600
Speaker 10: No?

2442
02:07:46,760 --> 02:07:46,920
Speaker 4: Sure?

2443
02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Why not? She will be the first Wall not Paul

2444
02:07:51,119 --> 02:07:54,680
Walls Champ Powell a chain lighter go like a lamp

2445
02:07:54,920 --> 02:07:57,720
because he's back with the camp I don't know what

2446
02:07:57,840 --> 02:08:00,039
any of that means. We'll make history this weekend and

2447
02:08:00,119 --> 02:08:01,600
she's the first woman to be an umpire and a

2448
02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:04,640
regular season MLB game. She will be working the Marlins

2449
02:08:04,800 --> 02:08:09,520
Brave Series in Atlanta this weekend. Congratulations. Been in the

2450
02:08:09,600 --> 02:08:12,279
minor league since twenty sixteen. Boy, I'll tell you you

2451
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:14,359
think it's hard being a major league getting up to

2452
02:08:14,359 --> 02:08:17,199
the big leagues. They've no minor leaguers. There was only

2453
02:08:17,199 --> 02:08:22,279
a handful of jobs open per decade. Really, yeah, those guys.

2454
02:08:22,319 --> 02:08:24,199
Once those guys get in. Look how many years did

2455
02:08:24,239 --> 02:08:26,520
it take finally for Angel Hernandez to get his ass fired?

2456
02:08:27,279 --> 02:08:31,600
Long time last DS sucks, always has Ceebee Buckner sucks,

2457
02:08:31,680 --> 02:08:35,199
always has those probably others. Uh huh. Those guys get

2458
02:08:35,239 --> 02:08:38,239
to get their jobs. Twenty six years for last DS

2459
02:08:40,199 --> 02:08:42,479
and twenty six years of miss calls. He went to

2460
02:08:42,520 --> 02:08:45,560
the Harry Windelstet Umpire School in nineteen ninety one. Do

2461
02:08:45,640 --> 02:08:49,239
you know that he and I could have been made

2462
02:08:49,279 --> 02:08:51,399
last mates. I was gonna go to the window set school.

2463
02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:54,159
You were where is it? It's in Florida, But you

2464
02:08:54,239 --> 02:08:56,159
got denied. No, I just don't have to sit in

2465
02:08:56,239 --> 02:09:00,479
an audition video. That's how I would do it. That's

2466
02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:05,880
like a shrug. So it like getting into Juilliard school.

2467
02:09:06,880 --> 02:09:08,880
You had to tape yourself. I did. I would have

2468
02:09:08,920 --> 02:09:15,119
a great strike. Call. Ah. Now, how does one get it?

2469
02:09:15,199 --> 02:09:17,399
You just pay the fee, right, pay the fe Okay, Yeah,

2470
02:09:17,439 --> 02:09:20,720
I was wondering. There's no there's no denying. Now if

2471
02:09:20,920 --> 02:09:23,359
if the camp fills up, they're not gonna put nine

2472
02:09:23,439 --> 02:09:25,159
thousand people out there. But if the camp fills up,

2473
02:09:25,159 --> 02:09:26,359
you don't get in. But you have to, you know,

2474
02:09:26,520 --> 02:09:30,239
but you get waitlisted. I graduated in in the Mayo.

2475
02:09:30,399 --> 02:09:32,960
Where'd you say? It was Saint Louis, No in Florida, Okay,

2476
02:09:33,079 --> 02:09:35,439
June of nineteen ninety and I should have gone. I

2477
02:09:35,479 --> 02:09:38,239
think there's also a camp in Arizona, two different camps.

2478
02:09:38,840 --> 02:09:41,319
They have them during spring training. No, they do them

2479
02:09:41,319 --> 02:09:42,479
in the off season. Oh, they do them in the

2480
02:09:42,520 --> 02:09:42,880
off season.

2481
02:09:42,960 --> 02:09:43,119
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2482
02:09:43,880 --> 02:09:46,199
Speaker 1: And of like cold, of like a hundred people that

2483
02:09:46,399 --> 02:09:48,319
probably go to these camps, they maybe grab two or three.

2484
02:09:48,359 --> 02:09:51,960
I mean, it's it's tough. So I just should keep

2485
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:54,920
going every year to try to keep making it in. Yeah,

2486
02:09:55,279 --> 02:09:58,600
and who does the hiring. There's like some wed guy

2487
02:09:58,720 --> 02:10:02,000
from like the PCL stat or somebody else that runs

2488
02:10:02,079 --> 02:10:05,159
a will say these umpires are worthy of hiring, and

2489
02:10:05,199 --> 02:10:07,439
Major League Baseball will Minor league Baseball will say, yes,

2490
02:10:07,479 --> 02:10:10,399
we'll hire them. I don't know if there's a direct connection,

2491
02:10:10,520 --> 02:10:14,279
but there is a who do you have, We'll take them? Okay,

2492
02:10:14,359 --> 02:10:19,159
let's say, and then let's say you're a minor league umpire.

2493
02:10:19,199 --> 02:10:21,720
Do you float around the same league? You stay, stay

2494
02:10:21,720 --> 02:10:23,640
in one stadium, you know, you stay, you stay in

2495
02:10:23,680 --> 02:10:26,079
one league, one league. Just it's just like them. It's

2496
02:10:26,079 --> 02:10:29,359
just like baseball players. Single, a double, a triple A Okay,

2497
02:10:30,439 --> 02:10:32,520
And she's been doing it since twenty sixteen. She was

2498
02:10:32,520 --> 02:10:35,079
a triple empire in twenty twenty four, crew chief this

2499
02:10:35,119 --> 02:10:36,560
past year, and she now gets a chance to do.

2500
02:10:36,720 --> 02:10:39,600
Oh good for her. Yeah, So it's tough, especially we

2501
02:10:39,680 --> 02:10:42,920
got sucky umpires in front of you waiting, yep, because

2502
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:45,840
Father time goes a lot slower for umpires. You got

2503
02:10:45,880 --> 02:10:47,880
fifty nine year old umpires, get you don't have fifty

2504
02:10:47,920 --> 02:10:52,279
nine year old players, That's true. So it's it's tough.

2505
02:10:52,359 --> 02:10:54,479
Joe West was waddling out there for a while Jesus

2506
02:10:54,880 --> 02:10:57,720
so out of shape, terrible umpire screwing Josel Tuva in

2507
02:10:57,760 --> 02:11:00,760
that playoff game. But I don't I'm not bitter. Andrew

2508
02:11:00,840 --> 02:11:04,199
on seven on A Hello Andrew, Hey, how's it going good?

2509
02:11:05,600 --> 02:11:05,760
Speaker 8: Hey?

2510
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:08,119
Speaker 12: Uh so, uh, thanks for taking my call a long

2511
02:11:08,199 --> 02:11:10,640
time listener, first have callers. I just wanted to play

2512
02:11:11,399 --> 02:11:14,680
Devil's advocate on something. I hear a lot of the

2513
02:11:14,760 --> 02:11:19,760
rumblings about injuries and potential mismanagement by training staff, and

2514
02:11:19,840 --> 02:11:21,640
I tend to take the view that I'm a layman

2515
02:11:22,079 --> 02:11:25,159
and I don't understand, you know, even as big of

2516
02:11:25,199 --> 02:11:27,920
a fan as I, I don't really understand fourth injuries

2517
02:11:28,039 --> 02:11:31,079
as well as someone on a professional staff might. But

2518
02:11:31,479 --> 02:11:34,600
with the you know, the incredible amount of injuries we've

2519
02:11:34,600 --> 02:11:37,720
seen this year out for the Astros, I understand the grumblings,

2520
02:11:37,720 --> 02:11:40,239
but I have a question on whether or not it

2521
02:11:40,399 --> 02:11:44,119
might be good strategy to keep injury injury news on

2522
02:11:44,159 --> 02:11:48,079
the download in terms of a strategy for opposing doug

2523
02:11:48,159 --> 02:11:49,520
out not knowing what's going on.

2524
02:11:49,880 --> 02:11:52,439
Speaker 1: And answer of the air, what player are you talking about?

2525
02:11:54,159 --> 02:11:54,960
Speaker 9: Player in particular?

2526
02:11:55,079 --> 02:11:56,359
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is there any player in particular?

2527
02:11:57,920 --> 02:11:58,159
Speaker 6: Well?

2528
02:11:58,840 --> 02:12:02,479
Speaker 12: Uh, the the way that the ALBA is injury has

2529
02:12:02,479 --> 02:12:04,920
been handled has me questioning my take on whether or not.

2530
02:12:05,119 --> 02:12:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's say that's there's your classic. There's your answer

2531
02:12:07,960 --> 02:12:09,760
right there. Andrew, thank you for the phone called me

2532
02:12:09,840 --> 02:12:11,199
to do that to you, but I had to do

2533
02:12:11,279 --> 02:12:16,119
it to you. No, you you've hiding injuries. Makes you

2534
02:12:16,199 --> 02:12:17,760
think you're the smartest guy in the room. It just

2535
02:12:17,800 --> 02:12:20,680
makes you sound foolish. I mean, the askers have been

2536
02:12:21,720 --> 02:12:24,760
crushed for two years public relations wise because of their

2537
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:28,319
being not very forthcoming, and they've certainly in the last

2538
02:12:28,319 --> 02:12:31,560
two months change that they've done it a lot better. Yeah. Yeah,

2539
02:12:31,600 --> 02:12:32,960
you can't take a lot of the pressure off of

2540
02:12:33,000 --> 02:12:34,680
Joe spot It and Dana Brown. They don't have to

2541
02:12:34,720 --> 02:12:37,159
ask all the answer all these questions every single time

2542
02:12:37,199 --> 02:12:39,800
they're in front of people, and it also takes pressure

2543
02:12:39,800 --> 02:12:41,239
off the player. If you just tell the truth of

2544
02:12:41,359 --> 02:12:45,039
Kyle Tucker's injury would have been reported the way so accurately.

2545
02:12:45,359 --> 02:12:47,560
To begin with, we would be going, well, what is

2546
02:12:47,600 --> 02:12:52,640
Kyle Tucker's which it was? Some people worry kJ on

2547
02:12:52,760 --> 02:12:54,079
seven ninety Hello, kJ.

2548
02:12:55,359 --> 02:12:59,039
Speaker 8: What I bet as usually aunt man, my typical greedings

2549
02:12:59,079 --> 02:13:01,760
blood so always listening, even if I don't call it

2550
02:13:04,199 --> 02:13:08,640
had a quick question for you. I'm typically a realistic

2551
02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:11,560
situations in regards to what we're seeing on the field,

2552
02:13:12,479 --> 02:13:15,279
but I'm gonna put my optimistic hat on today. I'm

2553
02:13:15,359 --> 02:13:17,840
getting I genuinely.

2554
02:13:17,560 --> 02:13:19,720
Speaker 11: Understand the concern that a lot of people have with

2555
02:13:19,840 --> 02:13:23,840
the way the defense has been dog walking the offense

2556
02:13:23,960 --> 02:13:27,479
as far as training Captain's gone so far. I'm looking

2557
02:13:27,520 --> 02:13:29,439
at it like this, and maybe I'm being a little

2558
02:13:29,479 --> 02:13:31,520
bit too optimistic, but my take on it is this,

2559
02:13:32,239 --> 02:13:35,159
I genuinely believe that Texans will have a top five,

2560
02:13:35,279 --> 02:13:37,239
if not number one type defense.

2561
02:13:36,960 --> 02:13:37,680
Speaker 8: That's coming season.

2562
02:13:37,680 --> 02:13:39,159
Speaker 1: What do you agree that sounds good?

2563
02:13:40,600 --> 02:13:42,119
Speaker 8: Okay, if you're.

2564
02:13:42,079 --> 02:13:45,479
Speaker 11: Going against a defense like that on a regular basis,

2565
02:13:45,520 --> 02:13:47,640
on a day and day out basis, you're not going

2566
02:13:47,720 --> 02:13:49,720
to face a team with a with a Daniel Hunter

2567
02:13:49,840 --> 02:13:52,680
and a Will Anderson on each hand every game, or

2568
02:13:52,800 --> 02:13:55,920
Kamari Last or Derek Stingley on a on the outside

2569
02:13:56,119 --> 02:13:59,319
backed up with a CJ. Gardner, Johnson and Petrie every game.

2570
02:13:59,399 --> 02:14:02,000
I mean, you have literally all three levels on defense,

2571
02:14:02,359 --> 02:14:04,520
you have all pro players, and you're just not gonna

2572
02:14:04,560 --> 02:14:07,359
see that, uh, maybe two or three times over the

2573
02:14:07,439 --> 02:14:10,760
course of the season this coming year. So when when.

2574
02:14:11,079 --> 02:14:11,600
Speaker 1: If that's the.

2575
02:14:11,680 --> 02:14:15,680
Speaker 11: Case, you're basically setting your offense up to Yeah, they're struggling,

2576
02:14:16,359 --> 02:14:19,079
but they're not going to see those type of defenses

2577
02:14:19,119 --> 02:14:21,520
on a regular basis. Of My hope is, and I

2578
02:14:21,880 --> 02:14:24,640
use the word hope loosely, my hope is that because

2579
02:14:24,720 --> 02:14:29,960
they're seeing such a strong defense that when the season

2580
02:14:30,079 --> 02:14:32,920
opens that they're not seeing those type of defenses, the

2581
02:14:33,039 --> 02:14:36,199
offense will be better prepared for us. And I had

2582
02:14:36,319 --> 02:14:38,560
one take a question. I wanted to ask you guys

2583
02:14:38,640 --> 02:14:42,239
in regards to the Astros. What is the contract status?

2584
02:14:42,279 --> 02:14:44,680
I asked you yesterday Ross about Pina and you clarified

2585
02:14:44,760 --> 02:14:48,000
that one. For me, what is the contracts contract status

2586
02:14:48,079 --> 02:14:55,000
for uh Yana Diez, Paradees and Christian Walker? Because I'm

2587
02:14:55,039 --> 02:14:56,600
the well because I'm trying to see how long we're

2588
02:14:56,600 --> 02:14:59,000
gonna be able to keep this infield together, because I

2589
02:14:59,279 --> 02:15:02,479
see us having the best defensive infield in baseball next

2590
02:15:02,560 --> 02:15:05,239
year if everybody is healthy or not included. But I

2591
02:15:05,319 --> 02:15:07,880
still want to know his contract status because although he's

2592
02:15:08,159 --> 02:15:11,720
part defensively, officively, he is above average at catchers. So

2593
02:15:11,760 --> 02:15:13,640
I just wanted to know the contract status on the

2594
02:15:13,760 --> 02:15:16,119
nfield moving forward. Thanks Man, the show guy c.

2595
02:15:16,319 --> 02:15:19,720
Speaker 1: kJ Real quick Walker has two years left, Diz has

2596
02:15:19,720 --> 02:15:23,600
still got arbitration years left. Correct, three or three years

2597
02:15:23,840 --> 02:15:27,039
after this year, And as far as the first part

2598
02:15:27,039 --> 02:15:30,039
of the question, two more years, the Texans defense will

2599
02:15:30,039 --> 02:15:32,600
be top five. But there's also a lot of good

2600
02:15:32,640 --> 02:15:35,880
defense in the NFL. You need your offense to show

2601
02:15:36,000 --> 02:15:40,199
some signs of success against your defense, and the way

2602
02:15:40,239 --> 02:15:42,840
the rules are, you are going to even the best

2603
02:15:42,920 --> 02:15:45,960
defenses going to give up unless they're like mega elite. Yeah,

2604
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:48,079
you're you're gonna give up points unless you're like all

2605
02:15:48,159 --> 02:15:51,119
time elite. But I mean even the reports the first

2606
02:15:51,199 --> 02:15:55,239
two days out of West Virginia are like sack sack, interceptive, fumble,

2607
02:15:55,359 --> 02:15:59,840
overthrown minus three. I mean not great. No, I would

2608
02:15:59,880 --> 02:16:04,199
have been significantly discouraged. But again it's just turning camp reports.

2609
02:16:04,520 --> 02:16:07,199
Let's see what they do Saturday, and it won't even

2610
02:16:07,199 --> 02:16:09,000
be the full first team versus first team out there,

2611
02:16:09,039 --> 02:16:10,359
but I'll give you a Lisa sign of where the

2612
02:16:10,399 --> 02:16:14,119
team is depth wise. Brian bogus Sevic on the Astros

2613
02:16:14,319 --> 02:16:17,119
run last night one thirty one on Sports Talk seven

2614
02:16:17,199 --> 02:16:19,560
ninety Earlier today, I had a chance to catch up

2615
02:16:19,600 --> 02:16:21,159
with Brian bogas Ievenc we're gonna play a part of

2616
02:16:21,199 --> 02:16:23,880
the conversation for you right now, And I asked him

2617
02:16:23,880 --> 02:16:26,800
about what it was like watching this Astros team struggle

2618
02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:31,159
against the Red Sox, losing three games in Beantown. They

2619
02:16:31,319 --> 02:16:34,200
fly down to Florida play the Marlins, who just finished

2620
02:16:34,200 --> 02:16:38,159
sweeping the Ranger or the Yankees, and the Astros go

2621
02:16:38,319 --> 02:16:39,879
in there and win the first two games of the

2622
02:16:39,959 --> 02:16:41,000
series against the Fish.

2623
02:16:42,079 --> 02:16:43,520
Speaker 13: No, I totally agree.

2624
02:16:44,479 --> 02:16:44,639
Speaker 11: You know.

2625
02:16:44,719 --> 02:16:48,280
Speaker 13: My first kind of thought and reaction to you know,

2626
02:16:48,360 --> 02:16:50,239
the last week, week and a half is kind of like,

2627
02:16:50,799 --> 02:16:53,159
let's not get too high on, you know, beating up

2628
02:16:53,239 --> 02:16:55,399
on the Nationals and the Marlins. But if you look

2629
02:16:55,399 --> 02:16:57,120
at what the Marlins have been over the course of

2630
02:16:57,680 --> 02:17:00,440
you know, a good chunk of six to eight weeks,

2631
02:17:00,479 --> 02:17:03,879
and what they were doing coming in to this series,

2632
02:17:04,680 --> 02:17:07,280
you know, Yeah, so they looked pretty good against a

2633
02:17:07,319 --> 02:17:09,840
team that's been playing really well. And I think it's

2634
02:17:09,879 --> 02:17:11,120
the way that they've looked.

2635
02:17:11,440 --> 02:17:12,360
Speaker 1: It's the offense.

2636
02:17:12,920 --> 02:17:16,079
Speaker 13: It's you know, kind of a different looking team post

2637
02:17:16,319 --> 02:17:19,920
trade deadline than than we had seen throughout the course

2638
02:17:19,959 --> 02:17:21,319
of much of the season. You know, some of that

2639
02:17:21,440 --> 02:17:23,680
is additions, some of that is you know, Paya coming

2640
02:17:23,760 --> 02:17:27,680
back healthy. But I think it's kind of rounding into form.

2641
02:17:27,760 --> 02:17:30,399
It's certainly not the team that you think of when

2642
02:17:30,440 --> 02:17:34,319
you say, okay, what's our best, but it's definitely a

2643
02:17:34,479 --> 02:17:38,760
team that is different for the better than it was

2644
02:17:38,920 --> 02:17:40,319
maybe three or four weeks ago.

2645
02:17:40,840 --> 02:17:43,120
Speaker 1: It is amazing to me. Look, this team, I would

2646
02:17:43,159 --> 02:17:47,319
say more times than not, has been offensively challenged. But

2647
02:17:47,520 --> 02:17:50,319
there were a night in particular in Boston we get

2648
02:17:50,360 --> 02:17:54,000
fourteen hits, and so that's supposed to win you baseball games,

2649
02:17:54,159 --> 02:17:58,399
and that just didn't happen. There's one thing about getting

2650
02:17:58,399 --> 02:18:02,000
on bas another one getting into scoring. There's really no

2651
02:18:02,120 --> 02:18:04,840
rhyme or reason to why that is except for, you know,

2652
02:18:04,959 --> 02:18:06,799
sometimes your heard of the lineup guys don't come through,

2653
02:18:06,840 --> 02:18:09,159
and sometimes your seventh, eight, nine guys come up with

2654
02:18:09,159 --> 02:18:11,879
the worst possible times. What is your take on how

2655
02:18:11,959 --> 02:18:14,600
this team at least getsophrenically the last sixty days has

2656
02:18:14,680 --> 02:18:16,159
been so up and down offensively.

2657
02:18:17,280 --> 02:18:20,719
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean when you look at the runners in

2658
02:18:20,760 --> 02:18:23,959
scoring position numbers, whether it be for an individual player

2659
02:18:24,360 --> 02:18:29,319
or a team or whatever, I for one I do

2660
02:18:29,559 --> 02:18:32,120
not I try as hard as I can to not

2661
02:18:32,760 --> 02:18:35,920
diminish hitting with runners in scoring position, because it's not

2662
02:18:36,040 --> 02:18:37,959
the same as every other at that right, a pitcher

2663
02:18:38,040 --> 02:18:40,239
is not going to pick you the same with runners

2664
02:18:40,280 --> 02:18:42,239
in second and third and one out as they are

2665
02:18:42,440 --> 02:18:44,959
with two outs and nobody on. That's a given. You

2666
02:18:45,040 --> 02:18:46,520
have to be a better hitter to hit with runners

2667
02:18:46,520 --> 02:18:50,200
in scoring position. However, when you're looking at over the

2668
02:18:50,239 --> 02:18:53,719
course of time, over the course of the season, the

2669
02:18:53,879 --> 02:18:56,479
greatest predictor of can you hit with runners in scoring

2670
02:18:56,520 --> 02:18:58,280
position is just can you hit?

2671
02:18:58,360 --> 02:18:58,799
Speaker 1: In general?

2672
02:18:59,239 --> 02:19:02,479
Speaker 13: Are you a tech oriented hitter or team? Do you

2673
02:19:02,600 --> 02:19:05,280
hit for average as a team or as an individual hitter?

2674
02:19:05,719 --> 02:19:09,399
And when you have situations where you know you're racking

2675
02:19:09,479 --> 02:19:10,840
up a ton of hits, you're racking up a ton

2676
02:19:10,879 --> 02:19:12,879
of base runners, and maybe for a game or a

2677
02:19:12,959 --> 02:19:15,959
couple of games, you don't drive those runners in, that

2678
02:19:16,079 --> 02:19:19,079
can just be attributed to it's just baseball. Sometimes hit

2679
02:19:19,120 --> 02:19:22,200
a line drive at somebody with two outs and you

2680
02:19:22,239 --> 02:19:26,040
know you don't score. But over time, if you're doing

2681
02:19:26,079 --> 02:19:28,680
the right things, eventually you will hit with runners in

2682
02:19:28,680 --> 02:19:31,200
scoring position and therefore score a lot of runs. So

2683
02:19:31,280 --> 02:19:34,799
when I look at a team, this team post trade deadline,

2684
02:19:34,840 --> 02:19:36,440
and what the lineup has been doing in terms of

2685
02:19:36,559 --> 02:19:39,959
just volume of quality at bats, volume of guys on base.

2686
02:19:40,440 --> 02:19:44,639
I think it's a better a better option, a better

2687
02:19:44,760 --> 02:19:47,079
chance of scoring a lot of runs consistently than it was.

2688
02:19:47,399 --> 02:19:49,920
You know, not that too far in the past.

2689
02:19:50,239 --> 02:19:52,319
Speaker 1: Ryan Bogasovich with us here on seven hunty for his

2690
02:19:52,399 --> 02:19:55,319
regular Wednesday visit Bogie. You played with Helse for a

2691
02:19:55,399 --> 02:19:58,639
very short time, very young part of his career towards

2692
02:19:58,680 --> 02:20:00,840
the end of yours, and then you've watched him as

2693
02:20:00,840 --> 02:20:02,600
a broadcaster and as a guy that goes to the

2694
02:20:02,639 --> 02:20:06,520
ballparking season firsthand. He's still racking up hits. I think

2695
02:20:06,559 --> 02:20:08,479
he's gonna get to three thousand hits. It's gonna take

2696
02:20:08,479 --> 02:20:10,040
a lot of work, but I think he's gonna get there.

2697
02:20:10,639 --> 02:20:13,200
But just when people want to, all of a sudden

2698
02:20:13,280 --> 02:20:15,920
say all right, here comes a significant downturn and maybe

2699
02:20:16,040 --> 02:20:19,319
Jose has had that defensively. But his OPS is above

2700
02:20:19,360 --> 02:20:23,520
eight hundred. Yet again, he's hitting home runs. He walks

2701
02:20:23,760 --> 02:20:26,159
into the ballpark with two hits per night. Have you

2702
02:20:26,280 --> 02:20:31,040
noticed anything about his swing changing. Obviously it's probably slower

2703
02:20:31,079 --> 02:20:33,559
than it was as a rookie, but he's still getting

2704
02:20:33,600 --> 02:20:36,360
on base, he's still making solid contact, Is there any

2705
02:20:36,520 --> 02:20:38,959
noticeable difference that maybe even seven or eight years ago,

2706
02:20:39,000 --> 02:20:40,680
the wholesale two of a swing that you see now.

2707
02:20:42,120 --> 02:20:44,159
Speaker 13: I think maybe the one thing you could say is

2708
02:20:44,200 --> 02:20:49,239
that when he's, you know, hunting for power, he has

2709
02:20:49,319 --> 02:20:53,040
to become a little bit more pull dominant than he

2710
02:20:53,280 --> 02:20:55,559
was in the past, and in order to do so,

2711
02:20:55,760 --> 02:20:57,879
maybe have to have to guess or cheat a little

2712
02:20:57,879 --> 02:21:01,600
bit more. But that's I mean, that's a very negligible thing.

2713
02:21:01,840 --> 02:21:04,760
Nothing with the swing, nothing with the approach, you know.

2714
02:21:05,479 --> 02:21:08,079
I think at some point, especially when you're talking about

2715
02:21:08,920 --> 02:21:12,440
this lineup functioning as a as it should, you know,

2716
02:21:12,479 --> 02:21:14,479
with everybody back where it should, and he doesn't have

2717
02:21:14,639 --> 02:21:17,559
to be a power hitter type of guy, or maybe

2718
02:21:17,639 --> 02:21:20,079
later in his career when he doesn't have to be

2719
02:21:20,159 --> 02:21:22,040
that he still has the ability to rack up a

2720
02:21:22,079 --> 02:21:24,319
ton of hits. He can still if he wanted to

2721
02:21:24,440 --> 02:21:26,680
just spray balls the other way and get base hits,

2722
02:21:27,280 --> 02:21:29,639
he could he could easily do that. But he's trying

2723
02:21:29,680 --> 02:21:31,639
to be more of a complete hitter, trying to trying

2724
02:21:31,680 --> 02:21:33,079
to hit for power, trying to be a middle of

2725
02:21:33,120 --> 02:21:36,559
the lineup guy. So maybe he has to sacrifice a

2726
02:21:36,639 --> 02:21:40,600
little bit of risk of swing and miss in order

2727
02:21:40,680 --> 02:21:41,079
to do that.

2728
02:21:41,639 --> 02:21:43,159
Speaker 1: But I mean that's just hitting.

2729
02:21:43,239 --> 02:21:44,879
Speaker 13: Sometimes you got to give a little bit to get

2730
02:21:44,920 --> 02:21:47,680
a little bit. And I think that in terms of

2731
02:21:47,879 --> 02:21:50,719
just pure hitting ability, he's still every bit as good

2732
02:21:50,760 --> 02:21:51,360
as he ever was.

2733
02:21:51,760 --> 02:21:54,840
Speaker 1: Boggie. We saw the Astros go with an opener yesterday

2734
02:21:55,239 --> 02:21:57,520
and then we saw aj blue Ball get his second

2735
02:21:57,520 --> 02:21:59,680
appearance in a major league uniform, and I mean he

2736
02:21:59,719 --> 02:22:01,959
would hitting ninety seven ninety eight of the gun. I

2737
02:22:02,000 --> 02:22:03,600
don't know if that's going to be a regular thing

2738
02:22:03,680 --> 02:22:06,760
for him, but for a guy that goes from his

2739
02:22:07,000 --> 02:22:10,319
first start many months ago to a guy who got

2740
02:22:10,399 --> 02:22:12,840
passed up by at least two pictures, if not more,

2741
02:22:13,120 --> 02:22:16,600
to get this opportunity again, it looked like he was

2742
02:22:17,239 --> 02:22:20,360
just very comfortable that the way the world was off

2743
02:22:20,399 --> 02:22:22,159
his shoulders and he could just rear back and get

2744
02:22:22,159 --> 02:22:22,639
people out.

2745
02:22:23,879 --> 02:22:27,399
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, a lot can happen over the course

2746
02:22:27,479 --> 02:22:31,079
of whatever it's been three three months down in the

2747
02:22:31,120 --> 02:22:33,680
minor leagues and getting working and he's pitched a lot

2748
02:22:33,719 --> 02:22:36,399
of innings down there, and there have been, you know,

2749
02:22:36,520 --> 02:22:39,520
tweaks made and adjustments made, and you know, if you're

2750
02:22:39,520 --> 02:22:41,200
sitting when you're sitting down in triple A and you're

2751
02:22:41,239 --> 02:22:44,399
seeing guys get called up, get called up, get called up,

2752
02:22:44,440 --> 02:22:45,760
and it's not you, and it's not you, and it's

2753
02:22:45,799 --> 02:22:49,000
not you. It'll create a sense of urgency and it'll

2754
02:22:49,159 --> 02:22:51,520
it'll you know, kind of push you to get better

2755
02:22:51,719 --> 02:22:53,639
and kind of push you to when you do get

2756
02:22:53,680 --> 02:22:56,319
that opportunity, try to make a good impression. And I

2757
02:22:56,360 --> 02:22:59,319
think he certainly did that. From a stuff standpoint, I mean,

2758
02:22:59,360 --> 02:23:02,200
you can, you can go a long way with high

2759
02:23:02,280 --> 02:23:04,239
end stuff when you's you know, there's a lot of

2760
02:23:04,360 --> 02:23:07,399
room for error when you're pitching when it's ninety seven

2761
02:23:07,520 --> 02:23:10,600
ninety eight miles an hour, and it's certainly different than

2762
02:23:10,639 --> 02:23:12,000
a lot you know, a lot of guys that we've

2763
02:23:12,079 --> 02:23:15,440
seen come up it's been lesser stuff, but more of

2764
02:23:15,520 --> 02:23:18,360
a plan, more of an approach for pitching, you know,

2765
02:23:18,600 --> 02:23:20,120
having a guy who can come up and say, hey,

2766
02:23:20,760 --> 02:23:23,680
we need you know, two, three, four innings, where somebody

2767
02:23:23,719 --> 02:23:26,079
can just go out there and try to blow guys away.

2768
02:23:26,440 --> 02:23:29,280
Here's our option and differentiate yourself a little bit.

2769
02:23:30,280 --> 02:23:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that you knew that you probably in the

2770
02:23:32,680 --> 02:23:34,959
back of your mind thought the transition for Cardlos going

2771
02:23:35,000 --> 02:23:36,799
from short to third base would be a piece of cake,

2772
02:23:36,799 --> 02:23:38,079
and it feels like it certainly has been.

2773
02:23:39,840 --> 02:23:42,239
Speaker 13: Yeah, when you're that talented a shortstop, I mean there

2774
02:23:42,280 --> 02:23:44,399
are some nuances to third base. It's a little bit

2775
02:23:44,399 --> 02:23:47,440
different footwork, maybe a couple of different arm angles on throws.

2776
02:23:47,520 --> 02:23:50,159
But I mean, if you can play shortstop at the

2777
02:23:50,520 --> 02:23:53,680
level that he plays shortstop, you can slide right over

2778
02:23:53,760 --> 02:23:56,200
to third base and honestly probably pretty much anywhere else.

2779
02:23:56,040 --> 02:23:59,799
Speaker 1: In the Diamonds Uryusk gets an opportunity, makes the most

2780
02:24:00,719 --> 02:24:04,600
you've got now, I think another additional utility guy. Not

2781
02:24:04,799 --> 02:24:07,280
so much pressure on Dubond to play every single day.

2782
02:24:08,239 --> 02:24:12,280
It feels like the lineup is coming together clearly because

2783
02:24:12,360 --> 02:24:14,280
guys are back, and noticely Jerby would be the first

2784
02:24:14,319 --> 02:24:17,000
one on that list. Ross and I want to do

2785
02:24:17,079 --> 02:24:18,879
this in a few minutes, and we may have time

2786
02:24:18,920 --> 02:24:21,559
to do so. We're hoping that at some point Jordon

2787
02:24:21,639 --> 02:24:24,799
gets into play on this and if he does, that's

2788
02:24:24,879 --> 02:24:27,600
a missing piece to this lineup being filthy one to seven.

2789
02:24:27,719 --> 02:24:31,200
Speaker 13: Right at this point, you think, oh absolutely, I mean,

2790
02:24:31,280 --> 02:24:34,360
he as good as other guys have been, as nice

2791
02:24:34,360 --> 02:24:38,639
as the additions are, Jordon coming back healthy and being

2792
02:24:38,719 --> 02:24:42,360
the hitter that he is, everything then revolves around him.

2793
02:24:42,399 --> 02:24:45,440
You build your lineup around him, you know, team's game

2794
02:24:45,520 --> 02:24:49,120
plan around him. It's also you know, another left handed

2795
02:24:49,159 --> 02:24:50,920
bat that has to be accounted for, and now you're

2796
02:24:50,920 --> 02:24:53,159
looking at the top half of the batting order being

2797
02:24:53,360 --> 02:24:55,920
righty lefty, righty lefty. So you know, looking down the

2798
02:24:56,000 --> 02:24:59,159
road to a seventh, eighth, ninth inning, playing matchups, it

2799
02:24:59,280 --> 02:25:02,079
makes it really different cult for opposing managers. So yeah,

2800
02:25:02,239 --> 02:25:05,799
I mean you're looking at a lineup that really, at

2801
02:25:05,840 --> 02:25:08,239
some point is going to be you know, one through eight,

2802
02:25:08,360 --> 02:25:11,799
one through nine really solid because you know you've got

2803
02:25:11,840 --> 02:25:14,239
guys who, for a good chunk of time we're hitting

2804
02:25:14,719 --> 02:25:16,639
you know, Te Schmell hit a bunch of leadoff, He's

2805
02:25:16,639 --> 02:25:18,600
going to be maybe your nine hole hitter. You got

2806
02:25:18,760 --> 02:25:21,520
you know, Cam Smith sliding in the seventh hole when

2807
02:25:21,600 --> 02:25:24,159
he was hitting fourth for a good chunk of time.

2808
02:25:24,239 --> 02:25:26,360
Victor Carrottini when he's in the lineup, he was your

2809
02:25:26,360 --> 02:25:28,799
best hitter for you know, nearly a month during the

2810
02:25:28,879 --> 02:25:30,520
course of the season. So yeah, you're looking at some

2811
02:25:31,479 --> 02:25:34,799
real lengths and you know theiner is getting it going.

2812
02:25:34,879 --> 02:25:36,719
So all of a sudden, you're you're looking at a

2813
02:25:36,840 --> 02:25:40,399
lineup that's really deep and really dangerous in every spot.

2814
02:25:41,120 --> 02:25:44,000
Speaker 1: That again, was the one and only Ryan Bogasvich with

2815
