Is this the eighties? Jam? Okay? I Bribert Palmer the

10
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,520
power station, first part of that state it? Okay, Wait,

11
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,760
it's heating up. Hold on, let's say this guitar solo

12
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,599
is not bad. I like Promer Palmer, may he rest.

13
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:14,799
He has some jams back in the day as a

14
00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:18,120
soloist and as a power scene. Now they mostly sounded

15
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,519
the same. That's fair. It's been resistible, very good. Turn

16
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,040
up this stop. But it sounded exactly like addicted to love.

17
00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:34,280
I like it highs. I'm more of an Arnold Palmer.

18
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,159
Are you okay? Lemonade and icy mixed together? I got you. No,

19
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,400
I'm just meaning his golf game. Oh I see, but

20
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:45,760
you don't have to drink too sweet. It's fine. Good morning.

21
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:46,799
Speaker 1: Yeah.

22
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:49,239

00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,039
Speaker 2: Really? Yeah? The fish sandwich is good, the rock Rise,

39
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,400
the fish filet itself is bigger than the bun. I

40
00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:31,759
would never go in there in ten billion years and

41
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,240

00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,080
steakhouse and I'm getting fish sticks. No it's not happening.

54
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,560

00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,159
want tired of beating at all these places here. The

57
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:27,639
best part of it is, no, is that people call

58
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:31,039
in and do the same. Yes, I'm sick of it.

59
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:34,039
I'm not going to rop Eyes. I'm going to freaking Popeyes.

60
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,680
Because everybody knows what we're talking about. Jonathan doesn't know. Jonathan,

61
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,360

62
00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:43,439

00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,400
and we'll see how it is. We'll do a little

69
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,080
taste test. Can I get one in addition to the chicken?

70
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,240
I get yes? Okay, I cause you're eating a lot,

71
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:06,960
I get it. Yeah, it's fine carbo loading that you

72
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,319
are a marathon this weekend. Okay, So another day of

73
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,080
double wins, yes, trow. The Astros disposed of the Red

74
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,279
Sox earlier in the day. Yes, and then the Rockets

75
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,199
beat the Wisconsin Herd of the G League yesterday barely. Yeah.

76
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:25,600
Win's a win. A win is a win, is a win.

77
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,399
That's still was ugly, and I mean the Bucks were

78
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:32,040
shooting out of their free in mind ten threes alone

79
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,680
in the third quarter. Yeah. AJ Green had six catches

80
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,639
for eighty six yards and a touchdown, and he also

81
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,480
made five threes. AJ Green is the epitome of a

82
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,560
white boy in basketball. I mean, just chuck chuck. I mean,

83
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:47,759
forget about defense, forget about playing ninety four feet. He'll

84
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:51,319
go seventy feet max, Yeah, and just throw up a

85
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,480
logo three point shot. I don't even know who Pete

86
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,399
Nance was. I don't either. I know who Larry Nancy

87
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,240
Carmack Ryan was. No, I know Cormack McCarthy and Ken

88
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,120
Cormack Ryan was. Oh are you kidding me? Cormack Ryan

89
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:08,600
is guaranteed and named after Cormack McCarthy. Right, I'm just

90
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,240
telling you this. I was fully prepared to have the

91
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,720
worst broadcast in my NBA career. Uh huh, And I

92
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:16,959
didn't because I was professional about it, but got ready.

93
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,360
But but the reality was, there were so many names

94
00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:21,279
on that in that group that I had no idea

95
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:23,079
who the how they were. Yeah, I'm sure the worst

96
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:25,680
Jerichar Simms, Gary Trent I knew, but he got hurt

97
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,759
in the first half of the hip contusion. So they

98
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,639
started the game with the eight active players and they

99
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:34,800
finished with seven m crazy and the game was frankly

100
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,040
too close. I know. We brought up the line in

101
00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:40,399
twiceen and a half. That's what you got to stay

102
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:42,040
away from Lions in basket. What do you mean if

103
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,120
you had the bucks, you're all good. Yeah, not that

104
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,439
I would give you a thought or two either way

105
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,759
on that. Felix, Oh my god, I got up to

106
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,839
nineteen and a half feels like when you're in the

107
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,120
Rockets are massive favorites game, the other side's not the

108
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,279
worst uned you if you was expressed there by Rossfield,

109
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,079
a real one half of the Matt Thomas Shield, Ross

110
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,040
and the two Sports Talk seven ninety. I'm just going

111
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,439
on recent history. I understand. That's all I understand. All Right,

112
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,600
So we got a lot going on today. We have

113
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,600
Brian mctaggard. Youre going to join us at eleven o'clock.

114
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,240
Brian McTaggart, Yes, a good irishman. Yes, well, Scott Tigris

115
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:19,399
will not be joining me in Indianapolis because I'm not

116
00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:22,959
going either. Oh yeah, you guys, why not? Because there's

117
00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:24,720
not a team that I care about. Do you know

118
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,600
Mattress maxim is promotion where you buy the bed the

119
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,600
closest team. Who is the closest geographical team? Okay? Really yes,

120
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,560
I've heard the commercials for him obviously. Okay, yeah, if

121
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,759
the closest team to Houston playing in the Final four

122
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,959
is Illinois. This is a little advice at tn T

123
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,560
and CBS. I don't know which network is carrying the championships.

124
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,000
Don't look at the Houston numbers. It's actually funny it.

125
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:52,279
Oh wait, it went away there it is. It's it's

126
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,519
actually TBS and True TV. Okay, yeah, you think they

127
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:58,319
just try to get viewers on those channels as possible. Yeah,

128
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,240
and it's on HBO of course. Yeah. So yeah, they're

129
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,839
just trying to They they every I think it's every

130
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:06,079
three years they move it to the cable stuff. So yeah,

131
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:07,720
they're trying to put as many networks out there that

132
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:08,319
can put the game.

133
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:08,639
Speaker 3: Now.

134
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,079
Speaker 2: Way back in the day, they used to do homer cast,

135
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:13,439
where you have a local flavor to the team, but

136
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,360
they don't do that anymore because they don't want people

137
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,399
because people will get confused. Yes, people are these guys

138
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:24,480
are just flat out Duke fans. Yeah, it's the Duke Broadcast.

139
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:25,519
Speaker 6: Now.

140
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: I do believe and I wish that all sports centers

141
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:30,920
would do this. They do this in college football. Uh

142
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,560
you know, ESPN's got like nine different channels. One of

143
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,120
the channels has the broadcast of the radio call from

144
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:39,959
each of the teams. So if you're like, let's say

145
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:45,000
you're watching Ohio State versus USC for the championship, just

146
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,319
throwing two schools out there, one of the channels in ESPN,

147
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,360
either it's SEC network or Big whatever would have the

148
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:54,639
Ohio State Call one, what have the the call of USC.

149
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,240
People get confused and then they get angry, yeah, and

150
00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:00,360
then they have it's all it's old people. I'm gonna

151
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,680
be honest, it's old people. They're just looking for the game.

152
00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:08,879
And uh, that happened at my I'm not gonna out

153
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:10,639
who did it, but it happened at my household at

154
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:12,680
the super Bowl. Its hours before the super Bowl. But

155
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,959
they had the wrong broadcast on the Nickelodeon version or something.

156
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:17,639
It was the it was like the Pat McAfee cast

157
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,720
or something. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Maybe it

158
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,480
wasn't the super Bowl. Maybe it was a playoffs or something.

159
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,560
But yeah, now that's why they put the games on,

160
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:27,560
like some of them, like they'll put the same game

161
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,480
on ESPNN, ESPN two, just giving you opportunity be SPN, ABC,

162
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,919
like just spray a wide net. They'll find it. Do

163
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,360
the guys from that true TV show Realizer' being bumped

164
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,720
in practical jokers because that's a channel that runs something.

165
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:43,480
But that are they making new stuff? I thought they

166
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,840
had broke broken up or there's been scandals. We will

167
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,080
be the scandal just fake stuff or I think it

168
00:08:49,159 --> 00:08:53,200
was like in improprieties with women or something. Don't quote

169
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,000
me on that. I won't. I won't. You did sit

170
00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:58,039
on the air, though, so I said, don't quote libel

171
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:00,480
and slender coming up in three two and one. I said,

172
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:02,679
I'm not sure, so we should be legally covered there,

173
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,120
thank you. iHeart legal team. Yes, all right, Astro is

174
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,679
going to win. We will discuss that Rocket's good to win.

175
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,639
We'll discuss that we have Brian mctagger at eleven o'clock.

176
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,360
I just don't get eleven thirty, and we're gonna do

177
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:15,879
something for the first time today in the history of AOS.

178
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:19,360
We're doing a reverse AOS. Oh, there we go. Joe

179
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,399
Gatto accused of sexually assaulting a woman while she was nineteen.

180
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,679
There you go go ahead. Thank you for that. H Well,

181
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,960
I wasn't wrong. You're trying. We're trying to clear my

182
00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:35,840
legal written name. You cleared it beautifully. Sorry. So aos

183
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,960
usually are for ASTRA overactions when things are going poorly. Yes,

184
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,279
I have not taken a look at the astro's Twitter account.

185
00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:47,240
I'm going to assume here we're gonna do reverse AOS

186
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,039
at ten thirty today that things are significantly more positive. Right, Yes,

187
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,200
I've not looked at it. I don't want you either. Okay,

188
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,399
let's look at it, you and I organically. When we

189
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,440
do the segment of ten thirty, are we seeing World

190
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,360
Series bou on tweets or are we seeing hitting coaches

191
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:07,080
made the difference? Is Joe Spotta getting all the credit

192
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:10,240
I don't believe he's getting any credit this Well, when

193
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,200
they lose, he's he's a bumbling fool. Correct. Well, now

194
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,559
they're winning, we gotta call last last Friday? Was Joe Spotta?

195
00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:22,639
Was it that guy? Frank? Mm hmm. It's like Joe

196
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:24,879
spot is on the train out and how's how's Joe

197
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,039
Spotta doing? Now, folks? At ten thirty, we're going to

198
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,840
read reverse aos. Yes, now there's that Remember that one dude.

199
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:35,200
I forgot his him because look Twitter accounts. I don't

200
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:37,480
usually ever remember, but there's that one guy that always

201
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,960
crushes every single loss, and he does it like five

202
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,080
Street tweets in a row. When we see the name,

203
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,679
will recognize him. He's probably muting. You've muted Hi because

204
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,759
you've brought out how much you disliked the guy. Well

205
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:49,320
he sucks. Yeah, whatever, that dude's name I'll just get

206
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,840
time for that negativity in my life. Life is beautiful.

207
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:55,919
Everything is beautiful. Not everything is beautiful. Life is beautiful. Well,

208
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,799
it's a beautiful day, says there Taut In the struggle,

209
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,919
Matt and the hard times make us enjoy the better,

210
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:02,279
the good times better. Huh it was all good times,

211
00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:05,399
so we'd have no context. I feel like I want

212
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:09,240
more good times? Yeah, exactly. Who would play the role

213
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,879
with Thelma? Are you talking about the show? Yeah? Alright, relax?

214
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,000
What you you watch good times, haven't you? Jonathan? That's

215
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,639
an O. That's an O. G goat show. You know

216
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,919
what We're gonna make you put a dollar in a

217
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,399
jar every time you're lusting. He lost for only one thing.

218
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,240
We'll be millionaires stop seven one three two one two

219
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,120
five seven ninety seven one three two one two five

220
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,559

221
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:48,200
to fourteen on Sports Talk seven ninety ten, nineteen on

222
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,159
Sports Talk seven ninety It's mad It's Ross seven one

223
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,639
three two one two five seven nine zero seven one

224
00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:56,480
three two one two five at seven ninety. Uh, we'll

225
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,759
have reverse aos at ten thirty. I'm very curious, and

226
00:11:59,759 --> 00:12:02,120
I I thought about doing this. Literally this morning, as

227
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,600
I was driving to work, I said, I wonder how

228
00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:06,440
the Twitter verse because you know how we know how

229
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,679
the Astros are when they lose, how people lose their minds.

230
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:13,720
How is Astros universe when we win? When the Astros

231
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:17,120
have won five consecutive games, Yes, you could. Overreaction doesn't

232
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,159
just mean negative overreacts. What I'm saying, I'm very I can.

233
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,720
I've not looked at it, Okay, so when we look

234
00:12:22,759 --> 00:12:24,759
at it at ten thirty, it'll be organically for the

235
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,320
very first time. Okay, you're on and Alvarez two for three,

236
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:30,480
two runs, a double hit by pitch. By the way,

237
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:32,840
if you hit him one more time, he's going to

238
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:35,559
come after you and grab those create and grab his

239
00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:38,159
hands than the ones that are like surgically repaired maybe allegedly,

240
00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:40,399
and those creaking ees, and he's going to body slam you.

241
00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:42,759
He hasn't had creaking knees in like six years. May day.

242
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:44,679
I thought you'd be rooting for him to get hit

243
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,360
at take one another now and miss no, no, no, no no,

244
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:49,080
because you want him in for forty eight games. I

245
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,679
want him in for one hundred and fifty one hundred

246
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,440
and forty five, one hundred fifty five, one hundred fifty five,

247
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,159
seven days off plus the extra time off. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

248
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:01,440
his ops against the Red Sox. You know this is

249
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,799
thirteen hundred. Yeah. I mean seriously, it's the most. The

250
00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:08,279
Garrig's jealous of that number, Lou Ahead A, Babe Roof

251
00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:10,120
and all those guys, but they have a lot higher

252
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,159
samples as they do. Babe Bruce's career ops against the

253
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,000
Red Sox eleven forty seven, Lou Garrig eleven hundred, Frank

254
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:23,320
robinson ten eighty seven, and Marcello Zuna's on that list,

255
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:27,879
and Xavier Edwards of the Miami Marlins. You're like, who,

256
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,039
Carlos Gray went deep for the first time this year

257
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,000
off of Garrett Crochet. By the way, did you know

258
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,320
that Garrett Crochet finished second in the Sion Award winning

259
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:39,759
last year?

260
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: Hm?

261
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,159
Speaker 2: You didn't know that?

262
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 3: M M.

263
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: Okay, that's nice. Brown finished third. See I I don't

264
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:47,960
keep track of posts and awards, and maybe that's I

265
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,039
should be better about it that I just maybe came across.

266
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,960
It's okay, Matte, so you're thirty six hours ago. I

267
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,120
don't I didn't remember. I remember it well, I mean okay, yeah, uh,

268
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,000
there's so much things. There's so much information in my

269
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,080
head and sometimes I forget things. Yeah, but mostly it's

270
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,519
about the sixties episodes of the Mass Games. It's seventies,

271
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,799
seventies and the Mass Games. Yeah, that's that's actually fair.

272
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,200
I can give you every host of every game show

273
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,000
probably in the last fifty years. That's part Crochet my

274
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,120
son's eighth birthday, no chance. Wow. The line up for

275
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,240
the eighty six Astros absolutely okay. And the funny that

276
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:27,480
brain works priority folks, Yeah, priorities. It is all right.

277
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:35,600
Lines are are not full. If they were two and five,

278
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,120
they would be not there today.

279
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 6: You know you already?

280
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,919
Speaker 2: What are you talking like that? I almost sailer in

281
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,600
the jar? What's wrong with you? Come on this Cousin's cousin,

282
00:14:44,679 --> 00:14:49,480
Texas Draft order trade trade down. Let's go look at

283
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,000
the the latest monographs. By the way, I'm gonna try

284
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,240
to get Bruce felmanon from the athletic next week. Okay,

285
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,000
good luck. I mean, I don't know if it's gonna happen.

286
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,399
He's athletic guy. And yeah, I always when I send

287
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,039
emails to athletic reporters, I say, uh, I am a subscriber.

288
00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:07,279
I actually pay for you. Ye, so listen here, Bach

289
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,279
come on my show. I'm betting Dane Brugally used to

290
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,120
come on when he was NFL draft dot Net. Now

291
00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:14,759
he's big time with the athletic He's guys, I'm slammed.

292
00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:17,519
Is he slammed? Really? You know what my favorite is

293
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,240
when you can say something ding when you lose your job.

294
00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:21,679
Eventually we'll remember this because you're going to lose your job.

295
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,159
Dan a bouse. But that's rude. Matt, what what? What's

296
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:29,480
wrong with you? No? I just I'm tired of people

297
00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:31,200
that go big time on us and I want them

298
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:37,200
to lose their job. I mean he I wish dating

299
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,759

300
00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:41,879
said he big time? You why you wish someone that

301
00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:43,720
big times you the best? Big time? I mean maybe

302
00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:45,679
able to wish the best? By the way, can I

303
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,200
say that I don't want that man to be able

304
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,399
to feed his family? So damn whatever he does great analysis.

305
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:55,919
I read his guide every year that you're nicer than

306
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,320
I wouldn't be. I'm slammed. Let me tell you the

307
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:06,080
list of people that were slammed. Ken Rosenthal slammed. Who

308
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,440
else is slam? Mike Turrico slammed, Hopefully get Mike on

309
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,240
the show, because I tell you what have I said

310
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,639
about Mike two weeks ago? Pound for pound the best broadcaster?

311
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:18,879
I know you. I aspire for a perfect broadcast. I

312
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:21,600
think Mike gets perfect broadcast once a week. You you

313
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,200
placed him on the all time out Rushmore? Can we

314
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,639
get a fifth person on the mountain first? Too difficult?

315
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,679
Let's get him on the all time Just say top five,

316
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,120
top five Rushmore plus one, Mike Turrico, No, here we

317
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:41,120
go Rushmore plus Rushmore plus. Okay, Like if if Mount

318
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,399
Rushmore's four, is there, what's a great thing in this world?

319
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,960
It's five? We got Disney plus, we get Apple plus.

320
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,639
Let's get mount for plus back in the day. I

321
00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:50,720
don't know what that is. That's a game show reference. Sorry.

322
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,159
How did I do on my my Quality Start plus?

323
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,639
Or Hunter Brown? By the way, Oh I did good?

324
00:16:56,679 --> 00:16:59,200
I think? Go ahead now, first describe it. It was.

325
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,919
It's better than six innings and three earned runs. He

326
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,279
did six innings and one in run. That's a good

327
00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:06,519
old fashioned quality starting, not a quality star plus. That's

328
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:09,160
a quality plus I don't think so only one earned run?

329
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,279
Are you changing the goal posts against? Okay? So I

330
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:21,440
could be right, okay, right here, seven seven ninety there. Okay,

331
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,319
look Matt, Look, guys, you hurt Matt's feelings sometimes when

332
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,400
there's no callers. So if you want to Matt seven

333
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,720
one three when they're grumpy and bad, I want you

334
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:34,279
when calling when they're happy and good, call and say

335
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:36,720
what's your favorite thing about the Astros? Start. I'm gonna

336
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,839
go with the ord on personally seven one three, two

337
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,240
one two five, seven nights. That's actually a good idea.

338
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,519
What's the favorite thing? Uh to me? How about Christian

339
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:47,000
big dog Christian Vasquez. I'm gonna go a big dog

340
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:50,319
Christian Walker. Okay, he was he was there. Let's kick

341
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:52,680
the dog, wile Ude. We should do it Astros Christian

342
00:17:52,759 --> 00:18:01,640
rankings every week right now? It's Walker Vasquez, Javier. I mean,

343
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,079
I don't think you do a full segment on it.

344
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,960
I've already come up with a new segments. By the way,

345
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,720
I told you this off off here. I'm telling the

346
00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:10,400
audience on here. Okay, this is going to be a

347
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,960
fifty two week bit now, Okay, because there is a

348
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,200
lot of people in the NFL. Players will move on

349
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,960
from teams, so we got to see how other former

350
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,880
Texans have done. Yes, we'll have rocket players that we'll

351
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,240
have left. So missing you John Wade every Monday one

352
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,880
thirty from here on out, something like New Labor Dame

353
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,680
Moral Day. Okay, sounds great. We have to set appointment

354
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,839
listening for various things for people to go. Man, I

355
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,599
wonder how Verdlander is doing. Oh, Matt and Ross will

356
00:18:40,599 --> 00:18:43,680
take you. I'm missing you Mondays at one thirty. We

357
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,720
could also do missing you of old girlfriends and top

358
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,720
three Christians of the Act. You could give me your

359
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:51,440
five former girlfriends in your life. I can Facebook look

360
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,960
and see how they're doing okay, and see how Ross's

361
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,519
exits are doing in their life. I don't care, but

362
00:18:58,799 --> 00:19:00,720
the audience might. I wish them the I kind of care.

363
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:03,039
I wish them the best game, successful and even going. Man,

364
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:04,839
I wish I was hanging out with a midday radio

365
00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:10,240
hosts like Rossfield real. I wish them all the best. Okay.

366
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,720
Ten twenty seven. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna

367
00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:16,680
try something brand new. Ladies and gentlemen. The first time

368
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,799
you were a little PA with the ladies and gentlemen,

369
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,880
you want to go full pa. Yeah, ladies and gentlemen,

370
00:19:22,319 --> 00:19:24,640
we're going for the very first time time time time

371
00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:30,200
time going to go with reverse AO. We'll only use

372
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,799
AOS when things are down and out. If things are

373
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:37,640
going well, we have to do the reverse aos. How

374
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,880
does the Astros twitter verse feel about the Astros with

375
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,759
a five game winning streak? That's next Here on Sports

376
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:45,720
Talk seven ninety we look at let people calling in.

377
00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:48,279
I love this. Let's go, baby, you'll want a good moon.

378
00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:50,519
It makes me happy that they're hit the outside pitch.

379
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,400
Oh is that our guy? Thank you for taking his call?

380
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,640
All right? Seven one three two one two five seven

381
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:03,240
hoinety ten thirty two. Let's get to it right now

382
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,839
before I get the phones. We got a lot of

383
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,160
excited people to talk some Astros baseball. But first we

384
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:13,119
need some Astros and some aos. This is our first

385
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,799
time in twenty twenty six. Thanks the post on time.

386
00:20:16,839 --> 00:20:19,079
I gotta wait one more run? Right? You got it?

387
00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:25,920
See that's where I usually started. I got a cheat

388
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,559
code in front of me. Do you really that's Oh?

389
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,519
See you have the post. Here we go and this

390
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:29,799
is it?

391
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:37,759
Speaker 7: All right out let's go hey out, Let's go Astros

392
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,319
over reaction right here on seven ninety.

393
00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:47,519
Speaker 2: All right, So, yesterday the Astros Twitter account when they

394
00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:50,480
reported the final score, the very top of the line

395
00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:54,799
said Chipley greater than Duncan because that's the donuts that

396
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:57,880
are associated with the two cities. Okay, finals score Astros

397
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,079
six and the Red Sox four. First response, Shipley's called

398
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:11,519
the people have spoken. Next, Donuts, Yes, coffee No. Next man,

399
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,519
I got to watch the peakest episode of Invincible, followed

400
00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:18,400
by an Astro's dub what a day? Hmm mister the uh,

401
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,240
I don't want it? What is that show? I don't know. Next,

402
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:24,359
You're unhealthy all season and we are the best team

403
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:31,079
in the al. Next, strolls, strolls are rolling. Next, Shipley,

404
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,519
you must not be from Houston. Next man, I love Shipley's,

405
00:21:35,519 --> 00:21:37,839
but the dunkin Donuts on Sophomore was where it was

406
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:42,160
when I was a kid. Next, by the way, Starbucks

407
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,160
is the Houston equivalent to Duncan in Boston. Next, if

408
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,640
the Astro estate like this, one hundred wins. Next, Sadly,

409
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,799
Shipley is not owned by Houston anymore, owned by a

410
00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:56,960
California firm should your bump ass up? Next, dunkin Donuts

411
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,920
are little trash, and wow they're not. You're off to

412
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:06,799
your great star boys. Next, Shipley always wins. Next, we

413
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,480
love y'all, go Astros. Next, that's the end of the game,

414
00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:13,000
your final score. You're Houston Astro six and the Boston

415
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:17,759
Red Sox four. Astros win. Next, keep it going, fellas.

416
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,279
I love to see the Bats get going at home. Next, Yes,

417
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,960
always in forever, next boom, Next from Mason, both are

418
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,400
ass I don't think there were some of the Astro

419
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,880
Red Sox. They're talking about Shipley and Duncan. Perhaps good

420
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:38,119
could be Polar Bears, says darn tutin. Cal says that's facts. Cal,

421
00:22:38,519 --> 00:22:44,680
not that good. McNair spin not even close, Cumulus, this

422
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:50,599
is damn good coffee, quoting Howard Schultz, founder of Starbucks. Now,

423
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,119
let's take a look at the retweets and the post. Frankly,

424
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,440
this has been fifty to fifty donuts and coffee talk

425
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,480
over the Astros. That's funny. I don't know think that

426
00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:04,480
was the intention. And Shipley is the correct name. I

427
00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:06,440
know people like to say ship Lee's, but people are

428
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,680
trying to correct them. This is from Roxanne as someone

429
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,720
who is from Texas but now lives in the Northeast

430
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,640
and has dunk in a minimum five times a week.

431
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:20,559
This is correct. Next Texans forever. Next talking about them nuts?

432
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:27,960
What doughnuts? Not them nuts? Next, swept them socks Burrow

433
00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:30,720
looks good, Correa, big knock, bra you shut the door?

434
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:34,799
Five and roh, gotta like this. Next swept them bitches.

435
00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:39,880
Next talk I can't read that one. I almost read it.

436
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,359
Next that's a sweet nicely done gents. Hashtag chase the fight.

437
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,079
Next Astro is from Cam Sanderson. Astros Run the MLB.

438
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:56,119
Hashtag Wow Andrea, Yes, Astros Fande happy Happy joy Joy,

439
00:23:58,039 --> 00:24:04,160
I loses. I miss Shipley so much it hurts h

440
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,920
And let's go one more. Here go Stross a warm

441
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:11,799
out of the fresh out of the friar glaze. Shipley.

442
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:13,960
Oh yea yea yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah. I

443
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,640
don't disagree with you. I do not disagree. Yeah, but

444
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,319
I'm talking like, let me tell you when I get

445
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,519
this the grant, the best ship the best, Okay, I'll

446
00:24:24,519 --> 00:24:29,200
say Shipley. Whatever is I used to go when I

447
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:31,559
used to work morning drive, I'd bring donuts here sometimes. Yes,

448
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,160
and you get them at five twelve in the morning.

449
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,759
Oh my god, melt in your mouth. I mean literally

450
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:43,160
you could feel the grease going down your throat. Don't

451
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,160
keep capture I didn't hear him correctly, nothing said nothing.

452
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:51,279
I think with that, with my awkward giggle out of context,

453
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,440
is going to be perfect because I would don't capture

454
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,400
that under any circumstance. Don't you gotta get that way,

455
00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:03,599
See you tomorrow. That's it is why we call you

456
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,200
full throat tom Nobody calls you full throat. Everybody calls

457
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,160
you full throat time. Call me mister Texas. Do not

458
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,240
call me. Nobody calls you that. That's nobody that's being

459
00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:14,960
serious and you don't know that tongue in all right?

460
00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:17,400
So that so, how do you that's quickly great? How

461
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,039
do you feel the reverse Aos win today? I think

462
00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:23,880
they're great. Everybody's pumped up, everybody's happy. Nobody said all

463
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,440
full credit to Joe spot and then there's no Joe

464
00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:29,839
spot a full credit to the hitting coaches. None, okay,

465
00:25:30,599 --> 00:25:32,680
but they'll be a blaming on. Don't worry you lose

466
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,720
two or of three to this to the Sacramento A's

467
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:37,200
tomorrow this weekend you'll be hearing it. Yeah, all right,

468
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,400
let's talk to some great listeners here. We got Brian

469
00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:41,640
Hagger coming up in about twenty five minutes here on

470
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,880
the show. We'll start in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Aaron, good morning, Hey,

471
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,079
good morning. Are are we all excellent? Thanks for dolling in.

472
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,599
Speaker 8: Hey, just want to give a quick shout out to

473
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,720
Brian King mcnee's legend obviously doing really well for the Astros.

474
00:25:56,079 --> 00:25:59,200
My question actually pertains to pitching. So when Spencer Righetty

475
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:01,559
fully gets held, how do you feel like the Astros

476
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:04,400
are going to navigate that situation? Who's gonna go up,

477
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,400
who's gonna go down? And I mean we can be

478
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,720
looking at a six man rotation.

479
00:26:08,519 --> 00:26:10,079
Speaker 2: Aaron, you answered your own question. It's gonna be a

480
00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:12,160
six man rotation. There's a stretch of games now where

481
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,920
the Astros will not have a day off for two weeks,

482
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,039
so they're going to go six man's thirteen days in

483
00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:18,279
a row, starting on the tenth. Barraghetty, my guess will

484
00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:23,160
be called up here in the next handful of days, gotcha, gotcha?

485
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 3: All right?

486
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just wanted to talk about that and kind

487
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,079
of bring that up and then obviously my next question was,

488
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,480
do you think that the Astros like might have retired

489
00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:31,880
those those blue jerseys?

490
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,799
Speaker 2: Obviously they normally wear them on Sundays. I'm just pulling

491
00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:38,839
y'all's leg, but I love those jerseys. I love them.

492
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,599
That was Fromber's uniform, I.

493
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 8: Know, but yeah, I wanted to wear the white jerseys apparently,

494
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,720
so they wore them on Sunday. So I guess we'll

495
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,400
see if we see him breaking out again soon.

496
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 2: So you know, I bet you you know what? Thank

497
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,880
you for the phone called Aaron shot to our Lake

498
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,559
Charles Brethren. First major league start. Let them let them

499
00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:57,160
wear we want it. Usually for the first when they

500
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,519
first came out, they would wear them every Sunday, regardless

501
00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:01,240
of the unif Hoop was pitching. Now they let the

502
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,880
pitchers count of decide a little bit. Can they change

503
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,240
once it gets pulled? I mean it was only like

504
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,519
two innings. You mean them all, twenty six of them

505
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,920
change uniforms mid games, going and put the blues on

506
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,119
once he minds out, once he gets his photo up

507
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,039
and in the Astros whites, I'm gonna go and say, no,

508
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,759
you can't do that. Okay, But it's a good idea.

509
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:26,480
It'd be funny, like if you're getting no hit through six,

510
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,960
Jesus go changing the oranges or something. Yeah, you know

511
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,920
it's funny. You don't do You remember what was it

512
00:27:34,039 --> 00:27:37,880
during It was Game seven of the World Series against

513
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,880
those of the Nationals that there was such a big

514
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,039
firestorm about them wearing the oranges. Oh yeah, I think

515
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:46,720
it was the go ahead and they want and they

516
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,720
wore the orange because people were losing their minds and

517
00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:51,640
they still lost the game. Yeah, they're losing because they're

518
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,759
nowhere in the orange uniforms, you idiots. The best uniform

519
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:58,279
is the Navy blue. In my mind, they're losing because

520
00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:03,640
they're they're whiffing on all the pitches. Can't score, don't Yeah,

521
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,480
but yeah, if I if anybody wants to buy me

522
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,599
a GAF for my birthday June fifth, give your birthdays

523
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,559
coming up, not really until two months that's birthday. Not

524
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:17,279
proud of me. I didn't like accomplishment or something. I

525
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:21,839
guess respects to common died at nineteen suck at King Tutt.

526
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,799
I'm gonna start calling you, mister history. Thank you. Let's

527
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:31,240
go to Oh, we're gonna accept this call James and

528
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:35,279
Alvin on seven Onty James, good morning, Good morning, gentlemen.

529
00:28:35,319 --> 00:28:36,559
Speaker 9: Thank you for accepting my call.

530
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,319
Speaker 2: It's our pleasure.

531
00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:41,119
Speaker 9: I want to talk a little bit about the ABS,

532
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:45,680
the strike system that the league doesn't implement it. I

533
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,160
think they're taken away from the integrative of the game.

534
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: The game is.

535
00:28:51,079 --> 00:28:54,039
Speaker 9: It's the only game that don't have a clock. They

536
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,559
install the pitching time clock of battles get in the

537
00:28:58,599 --> 00:29:03,079
box of time, but the game is not decided until

538
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:06,200
somebody score with that ABS.

539
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,039
Speaker 3: Even with the if it was.

540
00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:13,519
Speaker 9: So important, why they only why did they only implement it?

541
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:19,839
Each team has two calls to challenge certain pitches. Why

542
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:26,160
is it that the pitcher and the catcher can challenge calls?

543
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,119
What the umpire sees is totally different from what the

544
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,799
pitcher and catcher sees. And when the battle only has

545
00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:40,480
himself to challenge a call, I think it's just another

546
00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:42,000
way to manipulate the game.

547
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,759
Speaker 2: On controlling of the game.

548
00:29:46,519 --> 00:29:47,519
Speaker 6: If the game was.

549
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 9: So perfect, why do the batter has Every Major League

550
00:29:51,759 --> 00:29:55,839
batter swings a thirty four to a thirty seven inch

551
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,680
back The play is only seventeen inches wide, in which.

552
00:30:02,079 --> 00:30:03,079
Speaker 6: That's a very.

553
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: On how you would.

554
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:13,079
Speaker 9: Say usable account when it pitches one inch out the

555
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,319
out of the strike zone, but the battle swinging the

556
00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:21,319
thirty five or thirty four inch back and he said,

557
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,680
I can't hit it. It's at the zone most umpiles.

558
00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:27,079
Speaker 4: From what I've.

559
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 6: Seen, is a hitt of a pitch. That was a

560
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:31,480
hit of a pitch.

561
00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 9: I'm just saying, I think they're taking away from the

562
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,119
integrity of the game. Thank you, gentlemen for accepting my cause.

563
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: Of course, just tell me your thought. Yeah, you want

564
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,319
the plate wider. By the way, let's make sure we're

565
00:30:44,319 --> 00:30:47,160
clearing this. You get as many challenges as you want,

566
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,240
as long as you're right. Yeah, you can challenge it

567
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,240
to your blue in the face. You have to. You

568
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,359
get yes. If you're wrong, you lose one. If you

569
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,519
lose two, you lose both of them and they're done. Yeah.

570
00:31:00,119 --> 00:31:02,000
I have no idea what hell he's talking about. The

571
00:31:02,039 --> 00:31:04,720
play is seventeen He wasn't to have seventeen inch bats.

572
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:12,799
Speaker 10: I think I think he want Listen to me, James

573
00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:13,880
wants seventeen inches.

574
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: Imagine if they went out the little first of all

575
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:25,839
your hands, James, take up some of the bat. Have

576
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,599
you ever held seventeen inch bats. Okay, see, come on

577
00:31:30,759 --> 00:31:33,559
baseball here, Matt, keep your elbow up by the way too.

578
00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:36,839
Oh okay, thank you or actually close to your to

579
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,559
your side, you're like you, thank you. Were going to

580
00:31:39,599 --> 00:31:41,680
get you in the hitting coat and Don manningly over here. Yeah,

581
00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:45,480
let's get you working out your done. Oh my god,

582
00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:48,640
that they had little mini bats like they give out

583
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:53,359
at the gate. This is so ridiculous. I thought about this. No,

584
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,680
he's thought, he's overtaught it. Let them swing the bat.

585
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,880
Who cares how long the bat is? Who cares how

586
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,319
your stick is? Kim on seven ninety, Good morning to you.

587
00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 11: You know, first of all, sometimes there's some mornings I

588
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,960
wished I had have had what the last caller is having.

589
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,160
Whatever he's having, it sounds like he's having a very

590
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,440
good morning in a yes, very intellectual morning.

591
00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:17,839
Speaker 2: There's no question he's enjoying his day. For sure, he.

592
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 11: Is enjoying his day. So I was thinking, since we

593
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,480
had four Christians on our team, I know ones in

594
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:26,680
the miners well, and currently have three Christians on the team,

595
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,799
does that make the Astros God's team?

596
00:32:31,079 --> 00:32:35,119
Speaker 2: I think yes, they're looking pretty blessed right now.

597
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 11: God's team.

598
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: Aren't they looking blessed?

599
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:37,279
Speaker 6: Right now?

600
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,599
Speaker 11: They are? And I think it's because we're gods. It's

601
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,640
finally the Astros are God's team, and I think.

602
00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:48,319
Speaker 2: We should do We should call Jac. We should call

603
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:54,640
Jac on a mobile. Absolutely, all right, it's good Friday tomorrow. Yeah,

604
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,880
let's do it. We can do tomorrow right. Well, he's

605
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,039
dead on good Friday, right.

606
00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 11: I'm just saying to me, the Astros are now God's team,

607
00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:04,240
and that is what I'm most excited about.

608
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,039
Speaker 2: Yes, Now, who's the Devil's team? That's what I want

609
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:09,279
to know. Tim, You got an idea on that.

610
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 11: That's the Dodgers, the Dodgers, right, yea, yeah, Lip.

611
00:33:11,799 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: In l A.

612
00:33:12,319 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 11: That is, that's where Hollywood is.

613
00:33:14,039 --> 00:33:15,759
Speaker 2: That's the Dodgers.

614
00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:17,359
Speaker 11: Absolutely the Devil's team.

615
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Tim. There it is. We just

616
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,160
declined declared. The Astros are not the Angels, by the

617
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,960
way you would think the Angels would be. The Guardians

618
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,400
would be like a godlike team. Guardians just seems to

619
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,839
work as well. Dodgers definitely not devil raised No chance.

620
00:33:35,039 --> 00:33:43,440
The Diamondbacks snakes, right, Maybe it is the Diamondbacks. They're

621
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:48,160
for forbidden fruit. Who else would be potentially we missed

622
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,240
a big one. Hold on Gods team or are the

623
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:55,200
Devils teams team? It might take you a second. Okay,

624
00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:57,680
hang on, let me let me there's somebody screaming at

625
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,359
the radio right now. They and we mentioned the halo. Dude,

626
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,200
Angels is the obvious one. This is probably number two. Okay,

627
00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:05,839
let me stay out, go ahead and think, go ahead

628
00:34:05,839 --> 00:34:07,440
and think it's all right. Take you time. Hold on,

629
00:34:07,559 --> 00:34:10,599
let me look at the MLB standings because I know no, no, no,

630
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:18,079
say it, just say it. The Padres ah, we're not

631
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:22,039
God's seam. The padres are. They call him Friars for

632
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:33,719
a reason. Astros Baseball. He is on the air. More

633
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,880
of that that. Wish I had more time to discuss

634
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:41,440
this with you, but we'll do that next. Gabriel, Jim Gabriel, Well,

635
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:46,039
who else is on the line. Peter and Paul and Judah, Matthew, Mark,

636
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:55,480
Luke and John are also on the line, and Jeremiah

637
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:01,000
ten forty eight on Sports Talk seven ninety. Probably a

638
00:35:01,079 --> 00:35:03,880
lot of folks that are very happy about the Astros.

639
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,480
That makes us happy. By the way, we did get

640
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:12,559
worried that the New Jersey Devils are Devil's team clearly,

641
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:19,440
of course, anymore and anymore and helic pious. I don't know.

642
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,480
I don't know if the Dodgers feel like a devil's team.

643
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:34,360
M right, we goah, think about this, it's got it. Yeah,

644
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,480
I mean, Angels and the Padres are pretty good. Angels

645
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:41,559
and Potters are no brainers, seventy six ers for historical perspective.

646
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:46,639
I don't know, No, that's that's the independence, right. Yeah,

647
00:35:47,159 --> 00:35:54,039
we'll think about this. And helic teams and devilish teams. Yeah,

648
00:35:54,079 --> 00:35:58,519
Guardians is a good one. Guardians is really good. They're

649
00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:03,639
protecting us. They are Oh oh, definitely a devil's team.

650
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:12,400
The Nashville Predators, Oh my god, that's pretty good. Definitely. Uh.

651
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,840
Now here's one for you. What do you do with

652
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,800
the Orlando Magic? Ooh is it the Devil's magic? The

653
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,119
devil or you know where you're going with the Miami Heat.

654
00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:25,079
They're going straight to hell. That's true. M hm, that's

655
00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:27,840
a good that's a good point. All right, back on

656
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:28,360
the phones.

657
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:29,079
Speaker 6: Uh.

658
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,079
Speaker 2: Brian in Paarland on seven ninety Brian, good morning to you,

659
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:34,519
Good morning guys.

660
00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, the last caller, Ross Gott got to the last

661
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,199
Christian Christian row before I had a chance to uh

662
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:42,639
not on.

663
00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:45,039
Speaker 2: The active rossters, but we will once it gets back

664
00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:46,400
down there, we'll have an extra segment.

665
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,679
Speaker 12: Yeah what was to begin the season. But I like

666
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,559
the lineup we have, and I think this team this year,

667
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,199
especially with Korea being back up full season, and this

668
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,800
is kind of his team to kind of take charge

669
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,679
of again. Last year he was kind of coming in

670
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,559
mid season, but after the way he kind of responded

671
00:37:06,639 --> 00:37:09,559
yesterday after Jordine got drilled and he hit the three

672
00:37:09,679 --> 00:37:10,639
run bomb.

673
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,119
Speaker 6: That was that's that's that fire.

674
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,559
Speaker 12: That we've seen from previous teams have gone deep in

675
00:37:16,559 --> 00:37:19,599
the playoffs, and I, you know, I don't know what

676
00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:22,280
has gotten into Christian Walker, but maybe it's the fact

677
00:37:22,519 --> 00:37:24,199
that you take him out of the four hole and

678
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,039
he's batt in fifth or six in some occasions. But

679
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:29,079
I like this lineup the way it's going. I know

680
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:32,159
it's still early and so this isn't you know, let's

681
00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:35,400
start getting our parade spots for the World Series title.

682
00:37:35,679 --> 00:37:37,599
But I just like the composition of the team. And

683
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,760
obviously I think a lot of it just comes down

684
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,840
to these guys can stay healthy, but being able to

685
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,559
get bread us in there and giving guys days off.

686
00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:46,599
I think that actually.

687
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,519
Speaker 3: Worked help in the long run.

688
00:37:48,559 --> 00:37:50,639
Speaker 12: Now, I know everybody wants to play and have that,

689
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,840
but I think so far and great, Jeremy's been out

690
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,639
and they've been cautious bringing them back.

691
00:37:55,679 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 3: But I think a Spota has.

692
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 12: Done a good job of managing this roster and getting

693
00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:02,679
guys playing time enough to see the ball and kind

694
00:38:02,679 --> 00:38:07,039
of stand rhythm. And also I will I don't know

695
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:09,760
what the new hitting coach has done with Altuve, so

696
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,320
he will get props, but to already have that many

697
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,079
walks ten games into the season is fantastic. I want

698
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:19,320
to see more of this Altu b If this is

699
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,960
what we get from him, his chance of three thousand

700
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:24,840
is actually pretty good in the long run, but hopefully

701
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,559
the West Coast swing won't won't get to us too bad.

702
00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 13: But enjoy the show, guys, have a good one, Thank.

703
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: You very much. Two things, actually three things. One, I'm

704
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,000
rooting so hard for Jose to get it. It's gonna

705
00:38:38,039 --> 00:38:43,159
still take several years. The two and hit seasons are

706
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:44,639
are a thing of the past. It's gonna take him

707
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:50,639
a while, right, It's not a foregone conclusion here, and

708
00:38:50,679 --> 00:38:51,920
if it is it may not even be as an

709
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,639
astra who knows, who even knows, I don't even know,

710
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,199
depending on what the state of the team is at

711
00:38:57,199 --> 00:38:59,800
the time. Number two, I think Jose has been be

712
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,760
able to adapt to anything in his major league career.

713
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,840
He knows he's not twenty five anymore. So if he's

714
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,239
gonna take a few more pitches to get on the

715
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,360
base paths, good for them. And number three, and this

716
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,159
is even a super positive note. Y'all like this Astro

717
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,239
run right now? You know they're playing the next handful

718
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,719
of games. It's the Sacramento As who suck and the

719
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,360
Rockies who suck. They got a chance to really get

720
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,480
to use the Matt Thomas term fat and happy over

721
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,119
the next week or so. You do like to say

722
00:39:26,159 --> 00:39:28,400
fat happy, and then we're gonna see a real series

723
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,679
with the kids. Don't say that, by the way, my

724
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,480
kids do. And if one kids the Rockets broadcast as

725
00:39:35,519 --> 00:39:37,360
the kids say fat and happy, you're talking about the

726
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,280
Rockets up coming schedule. Yeh yeah, yeah, uh so that

727
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,679
we got that going. And oh, by the way, we're

728
00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:44,360
adding another team to the uh JC team, the New

729
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,920
Orleans Saints. Of course, that's of course that works. And

730
00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:49,599
by the way, somebody came in with blue devils. Ooh,

731
00:39:50,039 --> 00:39:55,639
it's an easy one now, Demon Dickens kind of both. Wow.

732
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,159
I mean they're diggens, but they're demons, so I guess

733
00:39:58,199 --> 00:40:00,440
at the end of the day that's bad. Yeah, yeah,

734
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,920
they're not. They're not the sweet, sweet, generous Deacons. All right,

735
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,519
let's go to uh j C on the Matt Thomas Show,

736
00:40:09,639 --> 00:40:11,960

741
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,159

746
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 2: Yes, Lord, JP, I want you JP real quick. I

747
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,639

mm hmm, that that's.

751
00:41:01,559 --> 00:41:04,199
Speaker 3: The only thing you can do just nail. But she

752
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:05,960
has always been good looking.

753
00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking looking now.

754
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,599
Speaker 3: Yes, she is the movie that I looked at. In

755
00:41:10,639 --> 00:41:12,880

Speaker 1: Yeah.

764
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 3: One of one other things I wanted to say. The

765
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,800
three of you guys, y'all y'all really y'all really mashed together,

766
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,920
real good because y'all make the show what it is.

767
00:41:41,199 --> 00:41:43,360
And I just want to tell y'all, y'all are like

768
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,840
a well well cooked meal. Regardless how you serve it up,

769
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:48,960
it still tastes good.

770
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 2: Thank you, j JP. Last question for you, how do

771
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,159
you like your steak cooked?

772
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:56,199
Speaker 3: Medium?

773
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 2: Okay? Accept that acceptable? Acceptable? Thank you very much. That's

774
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,679
the limit it is you he has had medium, well,

775
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,679
we'd had issues. Brian mctagger to join us next here

776
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:11,599
on Sports Talk seven ettis The Matcommis Show with Ross

777
00:42:17,639 --> 00:42:20,280
eleven o three on Sports Talk seven on a let's

778
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:25,320
spend ten quality minutes with our friend, a fine University

779
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,320
Houston graduate, longtime beat writer for MLB dot com at

780
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,000
astros dot com, Brian McTaggart, every Thursday here on the

781
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:34,760
radio program. Uh, five and two? Are we raising the

782
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,519
flag for an American League West title at the Dinkin Park?

783
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:41,320
Brian mctagger I don't think so.

784
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,119
Speaker 4: Probably not a wise thing to do, but it does

785
00:42:44,119 --> 00:42:46,840
seem like the Astros have gotten off the slow starts

786
00:42:47,119 --> 00:42:49,840
year after year pretty much. So Yeah, I mean after

787
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,079
the first homestand I think you take five and two

788
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,360
for sure, especially after the way the first two games

789
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:55,239
went all right.

790
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,119
Speaker 2: We were asked to this from our audience earlier. What

791
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,639
is one or two of the most surprise things you

792
00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:02,639
have seen so far during this winning streak.

793
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just the quality of the advanced

794
00:43:07,639 --> 00:43:12,599
I mean, they preached this all offseason and into spring training,

795
00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:14,280
and even I don't know if you remember the first

796
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,199
few Great Fruit League games, a spot as like, oh

797
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,199
we drew six walks, drew seven walks, and they were

798
00:43:19,199 --> 00:43:21,960
excited about the different approach that they have. But it's

799
00:43:22,039 --> 00:43:23,920
really been a point of emphasis with the new hitting

800
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,239
coaches and their new hitting coordinator is let's make these

801
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,679
pitchers work, let's stay inside the strike zone. And it's

802
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,800
it's really paid off. I mean, and it's across the board,

803
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,440
you know. I think one guy at the forefront of

804
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,920
it is the guy who was probably their biggest free swingers,

805
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,159
jose L TV. I mean, his his chase rate last

806
00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:44,679
year was fifty percent and right as of right now,

807
00:43:44,679 --> 00:43:45,920
it's like thirty four percent.

808
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:48,519
Speaker 2: That was a swing rate.

809
00:43:48,599 --> 00:43:51,599
Speaker 4: Sorry, his chase rate is down like sixteen percent. And

810
00:43:51,679 --> 00:43:53,559
even swinging in the zone. He was swinging in the

811
00:43:53,599 --> 00:43:55,599
zone last year it's like sixty three percent and now

812
00:43:55,639 --> 00:43:58,760
it's less than fifty percent. He's got more walks than strikeouts.

813
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,599
And this is a guy who usually I sat twice

814
00:44:00,639 --> 00:44:03,159
as many times as he walked, So up and down

815
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:05,920
the lineup, they're really making the pitchers come in the zone.

816
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,079
They're getting they're getting the starters out of the game early.

817
00:44:08,119 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 2: To me, that's the biggest thing.

818
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 4: And then I think, I like what I see from

819
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,800
the bullpen. They've been able to deploy these long relievers

820
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,360
a couple of times to chew up two or three

821
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,679
in his blue ball looks really good. They got to

822
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,400
get the closing situation ironed out. But a brain you looked,

823
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,039
you know, quite a bit better yesterday. So you know

824
00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:27,039
a lot of things that if you're the Astros, you

825
00:44:27,079 --> 00:44:29,159
think this is positive and we can sustain this.

826
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,599
Speaker 2: What did you know about the hitting coaches coming in?

827
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,519
And look, Astro fan base can be a finicky bunch.

828
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,239
They're touting them highly now, but if they go on

829
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,280
a streak where they only score three runs over a

830
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,239
five game stretch, they'll be calling for their job. So

831
00:44:44,519 --> 00:44:46,320
what did you know about them going in? And I

832
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,000
know there is a there was co hitting coaches last year.

833
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,719
There is definitely a hierarchy chart this timmer around.

834
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think on Friday the Astros fans wanted everybody

835
00:44:55,559 --> 00:44:57,760
fired again. I think I were talking about there the

836
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,800
fire spot of guys were back, and I haven't heard

837
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,440
from them now, but uh, they're probably having a rough time.

838
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,239
But uh yeah, I mean they thought they obviously needed

839
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,000
some different voices in the room, and they they brought

840
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,960
in Victor Rodriguez, who has done this for a very

841
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,440
long time, has worked with some super elite players, some

842
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,960
some big time hitters, and they brought in Anthony and

843
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,719
Iposy who've been with the Tigers, and yeah, they wanted

844
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,360
they wanted a hierarchy. So Rodriguez is the hitting coach.

845
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,159
I post, he's the assistant guy. And even they even

846
00:45:27,199 --> 00:45:31,000
promoted uh, you know, one of their I guess hitting gurus,

847
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,320
the guy who knows more about hitting biomechanics than anybody

848
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,559
in the game probably And Dan Hennigan, he's their offensive

849
00:45:37,559 --> 00:45:40,199
coordinator so to speak, you know Korea. Talking with Korea

850
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,599
during spring training, he says, gotten a lot of great

851
00:45:42,639 --> 00:45:45,559
information from him. So it was time that they needed

852
00:45:45,559 --> 00:45:48,360
some new new leadership, I think in in their their

853
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,519
hitting room and uh, and I think those guys have

854
00:45:51,559 --> 00:45:53,760
been instrumental in trying to get them to change their

855
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,360
approach as a whole as a team, and so far

856
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:56,039
it's working out.

857
00:45:56,519 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: Brian mctigger with us here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

858
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:04,559
Difficult to assess with Jeremy Penya eventually going to be

859
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,239
in the lineup probably every day, but just your thoughts

860
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,000
on the way that things have been constructed the outfields

861
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,400
and mixing in with jord On and low Perfito and

862
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:13,880
Bryce Matthews as well.

863
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, Jose you know, we talked

864
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,519
aboutn't mind that's got too many infielders. Well, it's sort

865
00:46:23,559 --> 00:46:25,840
of coming handy here the first week of the season

866
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,599
while they try to get Penya back into the game regularly.

867
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,800
It's more about his legs and just feeling game ready

868
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,480
every day. I mean, his swings there. And I think

869
00:46:34,519 --> 00:46:36,760
we'll see him play back to back games and Sacramento

870
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:37,880
this weekend for the first time.

871
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 2: So I think we're nearing the end of having.

872
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 4: A wonder if Jeremy Penya is going to be in

873
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,039
the lineup every day, and then it'll get a little

874
00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:46,360
challenging for Joe to see how he deploys pereties because

875
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,880
he's done a nice job hitting in that spot after Alvarez,

876
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,519
you know, not so much hitting homers or driving in runs,

877
00:46:53,519 --> 00:46:55,800
but he's getting on base. But yeah, in the outfield,

878
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,559
left field just seems to be a little bit of

879
00:46:57,599 --> 00:47:02,480
a platoon low Perfedo's right Handersrice Matthews against left handers

880
00:47:02,519 --> 00:47:04,079
Lit Bafiito's played center field.

881
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 2: Matthews.

882
00:47:05,199 --> 00:47:07,519
Speaker 4: Well, Myris is stat a couple of times, I guess

883
00:47:07,559 --> 00:47:08,079
right handers.

884
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,199
Speaker 2: I think we will continue to see that. But little

885
00:47:11,199 --> 00:47:12,880
Brafito is sitting the ball really hard.

886
00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 4: You know, Bryce has your longest time run of the

887
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,360
season that when he put in the home run court.

888
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,719
So if this has truly been the case for everybody,

889
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,119
every position player on this roster is getting a chance

890
00:47:22,159 --> 00:47:24,760
to contribute, even Christian Vasquez hitting a home run yesterday.

891
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,000
So I think if you're a jealous bot of that's

892
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:28,440
what you want.

893
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 2: You want.

894
00:47:29,119 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 4: You want thirteen guys who you can mix and match,

895
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,719
and any one of them could help you on any night.

896
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: A couple more minutes here with Brian McTaggart on Sports

897
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,760
Talk seven ninety. Christian Vasquez goes deep yesterday, which then

898
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,920
immediately sent astro Twitter into he needs to play more often.

899
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,679
Jan Ar Diez, how would you describe his spring? And

900
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,360
how would you you know, we don't ask you to

901
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,159
describe the numbers so far it's not been good at

902
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,840
least behind the plate and behind the dish at catching.

903
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,360
So a thought or two about the long term in

904
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:05,360
your mind future for Jannier Diez, not necessarily Christian Vasquez

905
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,599
pushing for more playing time, but how much are we

906
00:48:07,639 --> 00:48:10,039
gonna spend looking at Walter Yonick's development this year at

907
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:10,840
the Monor League level.

908
00:48:13,519 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the advants haven't been good from from

909
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,679
Diaz there. You know, the approach hasn't been great. He

910
00:48:19,079 --> 00:48:21,199
swung and missed at three balls outside his zone the

911
00:48:21,199 --> 00:48:25,519
other day. He's not making hard contact, so they have

912
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:27,320
to be concerned about that. I mean the spring he

913
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,800
looked okay, not great at to play. Defensively, I think

914
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,719
he's making stripes. The Colors gushed on him the other

915
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,039
day about you know, how well he called the pitches

916
00:48:35,079 --> 00:48:37,400
and and so forth. I know that Hunter Brown really

917
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:38,960
trust him as well. But he's gonna have to hit

918
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,039
a little bit. And I think if they if you

919
00:48:41,039 --> 00:48:44,519
put Christian Vasquez as a starting catcher, then uh, he's

920
00:48:44,519 --> 00:48:47,519
gonna be Christian Besquez that we expected and hit two

921
00:48:47,639 --> 00:48:49,679
hundred and you know, not to take anything away from him,

922
00:48:49,679 --> 00:48:52,079
but he's a backup catcher at this point in his career.

923
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,119
Long term, Yanick is the guy. He had a tremendous

924
00:48:56,159 --> 00:48:58,519
spring for them. Defensively, I think he's a major league

925
00:48:58,559 --> 00:49:02,280
ready starting catcher. He made some strides offensively in the

926
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,719
Great Fruit League. So he's starting out at Double A,

927
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,199
which he hasn't even played in Double A yet. But

928
00:49:07,679 --> 00:49:09,960
if he can hit, I think Dana will move in

929
00:49:10,119 --> 00:49:12,679
pretty quickly. I think we could see him in Triple A,

930
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,840
and I think we'll come to camp next year if

931
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,280
he has a good season at the plate. I think

932
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,639
he could come to camp next year battling for definitely

933
00:49:18,639 --> 00:49:20,639
a spot on the roster, but maybe even a starting

934
00:49:20,639 --> 00:49:23,480
spot unless he has really gets it turned around at

935
00:49:23,519 --> 00:49:23,840
the plate.

936
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,519
Speaker 2: Far let your run. Let's get a thought or two

937
00:49:26,519 --> 00:49:28,960
about when we should see Spencer arrogaty call up. Is

938
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:30,760
there any time frame because I know there's a stretch

939
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,599
now of two weeks without a day off, so the

940
00:49:33,639 --> 00:49:35,679
presumption is a six man rotation will come into play

941
00:49:35,679 --> 00:49:37,280
at least for the short term. When do you expect

942
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:38,400
that decision be made?

943
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it'll probably be another week April. I

944
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,320
think they have an off day April tenth, so maybe

945
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,119
before they hit before they hit Seattle, I think he'll

946
00:49:50,159 --> 00:49:52,280
have to start. That's when this when they go out

947
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,119
like this thirteen game stretch. So I think we're another

948
00:49:54,119 --> 00:49:57,400
week away from from getting the six man rotation. So

949
00:49:57,519 --> 00:50:00,000
Ragetty's gonna have another one, one or two starts down there.

950
00:50:00,039 --> 00:50:01,639
But it's nice that they have him. They have Jason

951
00:50:01,679 --> 00:50:04,599
Alexander and Triple A, Cold and Gordon. You know, they

952
00:50:04,639 --> 00:50:06,880
have some guys that they would feel comfortable about coming

953
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,760
up and adding to this rotation if they have to.

954
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,039
Speaker 2: Tag safe travels to Sacramento. We'll talk again next Thursday.

955
00:50:12,039 --> 00:50:14,719
Thanks for the visitors always. All right, thanks guys, you

956
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,920
got it. Brian mctagger down the MLB beatwith astros dot

957
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,199
Com and of course a Thursday visitor with us here

958
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,599
on Sports Talk seven hunty, we have I just don't

959
00:50:22,599 --> 00:50:25,320
get it coming up at the bottom the r Okay,

960
00:50:25,639 --> 00:50:28,599
that'll be at eleven thirty. Can't wait when we return.

961
00:50:30,199 --> 00:50:35,400
When alums overstep how do I phrase this? When alums

962
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,800
think they run the business, when people that write checks

963
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,440
want to run everything. Okay, I got an example of

964
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:47,559
that next eleven thirteen on Sports Talk seven hounty. All right,

965
00:50:47,599 --> 00:50:49,679
bottom of the hour here on seven hunty, we're going

966
00:50:49,679 --> 00:50:51,119
to have I just don't get it to our Thursday

967
00:50:51,119 --> 00:50:55,599
staple where Ross Jonathan and myself we throw things to

968
00:50:55,679 --> 00:50:57,800
each other and say, hey, here's going on in our life,

969
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,320
and okay, we just don't get it, and most of

970
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,360
the time we usually get each other's I just don't

971
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,880
get it. So there's something in your life that inscss

972
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:12,320
you that you don't understand. Take three solid minds, Jonathan

973
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,639
Ross myself and we'll try to help you. And I

974
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,800
just don't get it. Yes, all right. We have talked

975
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,079
about a handful of alums over the years and as

976
00:51:21,079 --> 00:51:23,159
we've done this radio show, and I think the alum

977
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,400
that has attached himself to his school because of the

978
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:30,760
financial dollars that he has given is Cody Campbell, the

979
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:37,039
big alum at Texas Tech. Yes, oil man rich, ridiculously rich,

980
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,119
single handedly put Texas Tech. By the way, he single

981
00:51:41,119 --> 00:51:44,119
handedly got them a defense. I mean, I've grown up

982
00:51:44,199 --> 00:51:46,039
watching Text Tech football all my life. They never had

983
00:51:46,039 --> 00:51:48,280
a defense. So this year maybe price is going up too.

984
00:51:48,679 --> 00:51:51,519
Who is he still involved or he just selling? I

985
00:51:51,519 --> 00:51:55,679
don't know. So Cody Campbell yesterday or it was two

986
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,880
days ago, three or three days ago, I had heard

987
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,480
word that they're thinking about moving the Texas Tech Houston game,

988
00:52:01,679 --> 00:52:04,599
which would be the Big twelve opener, to a Friday

989
00:52:04,679 --> 00:52:08,639
night for so Fox can to televise it. Friday Night's

990
00:52:08,639 --> 00:52:11,159
become a big college football night. Used to be Thursdays,

991
00:52:11,199 --> 00:52:14,360
but the NFL took that over. So now you're getting

992
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:19,280
like Mac games on in low end ACC games. Big

993
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,639
twelve on a Friday night is a good spot for us,

994
00:52:21,679 --> 00:52:24,559
so they do Sundays before the NFL starts as well.

995
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,639
Sometimes a couple yeah, a couple of yeah. But Friday's

996
00:52:27,639 --> 00:52:29,800
has been a I mean, there have been some really

997
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:34,039
good Friday night Friday night Fox college football games. No,

998
00:52:34,119 --> 00:52:35,920
I'm sarious. I've been Pack twelve been on them, not

999
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:40,519
Packed twelve. Big Ten's been on there, Pack twelve, Big twelve. Okay,

1000
00:52:40,639 --> 00:52:42,639
you're I'm sorry, go ahead, and you're just trying to

1001
00:52:42,639 --> 00:52:45,320
throw shade. And that's fine. I get it. So Cody

1002
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,880
a tweet out yes and says Friday night lights are

1003
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,800
sacred in the Great State of Texas. It is absolutely

1004
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,679
absurd that the Big twelve conference in Fox Sports would

1005
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,559
consider scheduling Texas Tech football and you of AH football

1006
00:52:58,679 --> 00:53:02,960
on a Friday night, which would be October eighteenth. I

1007
00:53:03,039 --> 00:53:05,599
know that Brett Yormack, and he adds him so he

1008
00:53:05,639 --> 00:53:07,719
can see it. Oh wow, he ain't afraid to show

1009
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,280
that to him. Okay, is not a native Texan, but

1010
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,960
he wow. But I'm finishing the tweet here. But he's

1011
00:53:15,039 --> 00:53:17,440
been here long enough to know better. Come on, man,

1012
00:53:19,039 --> 00:53:22,760
ouch sixteen hundred likes, two hundred and fifty one retweets,

1013
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:27,559
one hundred and twenty two replies. Brett Yormark clearly saw

1014
00:53:27,559 --> 00:53:33,199
it and basically said, you don't run the Big twelve.

1015
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 5: I do.

1016
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 2: Deal with it, he said, in not so many words.

1017
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:46,960
I remember, I imagine Cody Campbell does not run the Big twelve.

1018
00:53:47,159 --> 00:53:50,000
That's the first statement. Are you serious? Is this real?

1019
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,960
Our board and our eighties approved playing twelve games a year,

1020
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,800
one of Saturday's a year off on Saturdays in an

1021
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,960
effort to raise a profile, narrative, and viewership of the

1022
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,119
Big twelve football. Texas Tech hosting a primetime game on

1023
00:54:02,159 --> 00:54:05,880
Friday Night d delivers that Friday Night Big twelve football

1024
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,920
games outperform the conference average rating by sixty four in

1025
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,599
twenty twenty five. All of our schools are treated equally

1026
00:54:13,679 --> 00:54:16,800
during the TV scheduling process, and this game fits within

1027
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,639
our scheduling parameters. I am thankful that our TV partners

1028
00:54:19,679 --> 00:54:22,280
provide us with these opportunities. Now it's not not at

1029
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,719
foegone conclusion, but there have been rumors that that's the

1030
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:31,280
game It's going to be on that on that particular weekend. Look,

1031
00:54:31,679 --> 00:54:34,360
Cody Campbell. Good for you that you've just given the

1032
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,280
check the text attack and say do whatever you got

1033
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:37,559
to do to get this to get us to win

1034
00:54:37,559 --> 00:54:41,639
football games. You can't go to the commissioner. I know

1035
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:46,480
your checkbook carries huge weight, but you cannot go to

1036
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,119
the commissioner, Brett, you or Mark who was a guest

1037
00:54:48,159 --> 00:54:51,239
in the show last week, and say, Brah, you can't

1038
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,639
put our game on. I'm sorry. Did you see his

1039
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,559
follow up? I did not. I'm like triple checking. This

1040
00:54:57,639 --> 00:54:59,320
is verified account. I mean, it's just I think this

1041
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,920
is him. It's go to be him. Apparently Brett didn't

1042
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,639
get the memo everything runs through Lubbock. He did not

1043
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:11,239
say that. Oh my god, he did. That's legit now,

1044
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,199
I mean it's Unich can never tell because verified system

1045
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,320
Elon Muskin is infinite wisdom. Just let anybody pay for it. Correct.

1046
00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:22,199
But this is the I mean, it's the same thing

1047
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:27,400
from the from the first comment. I know alums think

1048
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,440
they run schools. Well, Cody Campbell thinks. He said everything

1049
00:55:30,559 --> 00:55:34,519
runs through Lubbock, said no one ever. The reality is this.

1050
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:40,440
He also said maybe we should bring the tortillas back. Yeah,

1051
00:55:40,559 --> 00:55:43,320
the reality is this. What's the reality. Many if you

1052
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:48,800
have a kid that is playing high school football, you're

1053
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,480
gonna go to the game, You're gonna lose that member

1054
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,639
of the audience. But they're not putting Texas ex Houston

1055
00:55:52,679 --> 00:55:55,000
on to make sure Abilene gets to catch the Red

1056
00:55:55,079 --> 00:55:57,320
Raiders and Cougars. They're doing it because they want people

1057
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:03,639
in Chicago, Miami, Cincinnati, Saint Louis, Orlando to see Big

1058
00:56:03,639 --> 00:56:07,880
twelve football. I have for someone who you know, Look,

1059
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,199
I was in a part of high school football. I

1060
00:56:09,199 --> 00:56:11,159
was a mascot every Friday night when high school days.

1061
00:56:12,079 --> 00:56:15,119
I know everybody knows the value of it, but it

1062
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,119
just doesn't carry that. Look, when TV networks cut you

1063
00:56:19,159 --> 00:56:21,239
the check, they'll tell you when they're going to play

1064
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,760
the games. So Brent or Mark is not going to

1065
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,880
piss off his television partners by saying, well, one of

1066
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,199
our lums is not want Texas Tech playing on a Friday.

1067
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:35,559
You can't do that. You sell your soul for the check.

1068
00:56:36,639 --> 00:56:39,039
And if Fox says you're playing at seven o'clock on

1069
00:56:39,039 --> 00:56:42,679
a Friday night in from of a national television audience

1070
00:56:42,679 --> 00:56:45,920
where there's no other game going on, you're gonna play it.

1071
00:56:47,639 --> 00:56:49,679
I have zero problem with the Cougars, or for that

1072
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:51,480
mat or anybody playing on a Friday night. I just

1073
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:57,360
don't get sixty percent boos and ratings. Take it, like

1074
00:56:57,599 --> 00:57:00,760
Cody better ratings. You're not fighting with twelve other games

1075
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,719
on a Saturday, or fifteen or twenty other television game

1076
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:08,199
televised games. And then in the TV networks are like, hey,

1077
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,960
if you don't like it, don't take our check. Put

1078
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,599
a non channel seven in Lubbock and see what the

1079
00:57:13,639 --> 00:57:15,880
kind of ratings you get or whatever channel they have

1080
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,119
up there. I mean, I don't know. I just look.

1081
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,440
Television has made college athletics a different animal. Even you

1082
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,880
can go back ten fifteen years. The amount of money more. Yeah,

1083
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,440
I mean think about this. We grew up watching the

1084
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,840
SEC on CBS. SEC's like, y'all are nice and you've

1085
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,400
done a lot of things for it. SC, but ESPN,

1086
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,000
ABC is gonna pay for us to carry every single

1087
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,679
game goodbye. And now you've got Illinois versus Wisconsin on

1088
00:57:39,679 --> 00:57:41,480
the Big ten Game of the Week on Terrible Box

1089
00:57:41,599 --> 00:57:47,320
or on CBS. I just I appreciate alums, but alums

1090
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:51,599
think they're running the company and they're not. Oh, Cody Campbell,

1091
00:57:51,679 --> 00:57:57,239
especially the everything runs through Lubbock. Relax, why don't you

1092
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,000
score some points in a playoff game and then we

1093
00:57:59,039 --> 00:58:03,320
can talk. Oh, well that was too soon, and I

1094
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,400
think got a field goal. Go to text Tech yet,

1095
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,320
I think they got skunked. Wasn't it like twenty three

1096
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:13,360
nothing Oregon Tech. It wasn't good. Yeah, twenty three zero.

1097
00:58:16,199 --> 00:58:20,000
So Friday nights are a little different at home, by

1098
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,880
the way, Yeah, no, no, no, I'm sorry, No, it wasn't

1099
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,400
It was into Orange Bowl. Well I'm talking about the

1100
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,760
Get the Lobby Tech Lubbock game. Uh, the Tech game

1101
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:32,800
is in Lubbock, So yeah, I'm just saying, just chill out,

1102
00:58:33,159 --> 00:58:35,639
play the game, have some eyeball. I mean, does anybody

1103
00:58:35,719 --> 00:58:37,960
in Chicago gonna watch Texas Tech Houston. It's at four

1104
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,800
o'clock on a Saturday, probably not Friday night game. You're

1105
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,239
at the sports bar, you're at the bar, you're at

1106
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,719
your house getting ready for the weekend festivities and the

1107
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,480
games on. You know you're gonna there's a better chance

1108
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,440
of seeing Text Tech Houston when you're not going against

1109
00:58:51,639 --> 00:58:56,400
fifteen or twenty other games. Yeah. I just think it's

1110
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,360
a pissing match, honestly. Well, uh, and Brent or Mark's

1111
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,599
gonna wait sit in there egos. Yeah, for sure, we

1112
00:59:01,639 --> 00:59:04,039
could see that coming. All right, ROSSI what don't you

1113
00:59:04,039 --> 00:59:06,679
get in life? I know you're gonna say. There's a

1114
00:59:06,679 --> 00:59:10,119
lot of things, many things, many, many, many things that

1115
00:59:10,159 --> 00:59:12,360
I probably won't stay on air many of them. Do

1116
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,800
you think we should look a private behind with the

1117
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,760
microphones turned off? I just don't get it. We did

1118
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,119
that for the what was it the thirty thousand Twitter

1119
00:59:19,119 --> 00:59:22,199
follower party? Oh? We did. We had we had to

1120
00:59:22,239 --> 00:59:27,440
ask empty anything yes, and we basically answered everything correct.

1121
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,679
You shied away from one question? Oh, I think I

1122
00:59:31,719 --> 00:59:35,239
know what it was. We did open things up, though,

1123
00:59:35,239 --> 00:59:37,079
for things that were never going to be discussed on

1124
00:59:37,119 --> 00:59:39,719
the air. Yeah. So when's the forty thousand Twitter follower

1125
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,920
that's never gonna happen? Why not because I don't get

1126
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,800
enough followers? Oh, it slowed down. The website has slowed

1127
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,800
down significant people have people are jettising from it. Yeah,

1128
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,360
I don't think it's I don't think the community is

1129
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,800
growing as much unless it's through count bots. No, and

1130
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,239
I get rid of bots. I get rid of the pot,

1131
00:59:54,360 --> 01:00:01,519
the bots and the porns. Okay, all right, I like

1132
01:00:01,559 --> 01:00:03,159
to have my I like to have my Twitter account

1133
01:00:03,159 --> 01:00:05,599
with authentic because here's the thing. If you have people

1134
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,199
that are gonna say, hey, why don't we advertise your

1135
01:00:08,199 --> 01:00:10,039
product because you got all these followers will get for

1136
01:00:10,079 --> 01:00:12,639

1140
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,239
on the show, are you okay, mister? I live five

1141
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:31,639
times a day? I said, most that's not authenticity. Why

1142
01:00:31,719 --> 01:00:36,880
lies are okay? FIBs are okay? Flat out lies not

1143
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,800

I just don't get it. Actually get it. I get it?

1148
01:01:14,079 --> 01:01:17,800
Uh yeah, this is just frozen. How's everything going to

1149
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,639
your world? Matt? It's good. Rockets won last night, Astros

1150

won yesterday. Rockets have won four straight. Astros have won

1151
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:30,280

successful basketball season. It's fine warmer. Hey, this is the

1153
01:01:44,519 --> 01:01:46,840
calm us down. This is this our song? Or I

1154
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,559
just don't get it? Pick that's something I just thought.

1155
01:01:48,599 --> 01:01:52,719
Beatles be happy with you. You guys. It's his ring tone? Right,

1156
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,000
it is it? Okay, it is a ring tone. Yeah,

1157
01:01:56,079 --> 01:01:58,400
you wanted to name your firstborn son Jude. I did not.

1158
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,719
Oh uh, by the way, Ringa or Paul with two

1159
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,960
more concerts in at the Honda Theater in Los Angeles

1160
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,679
over the weekend. What's the matter now?

1161
01:02:05,679 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 3: No?

1162
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:09,159
Speaker 2: Sorry, I thought my mic was off. Sorry, oh way,

1163
01:02:09,199 --> 01:02:12,519
I was just worried about your microphone yesterday. Yeah, they

1164
01:02:12,519 --> 01:02:15,679
got to fix all right, this is I it's time

1165
01:02:15,719 --> 01:02:17,320
for I just don't get it. What don't you get

1166
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,239
in your life? Is there something that we can help

1167
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:23,840
you with because of our stage advice and our life experiences? Okay,

1168
01:02:25,199 --> 01:02:27,679
I don't get why anybody would not love the Beatles.

1169
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:34,239
H would give me the number one reason why someone

1170
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:37,800
would not. Now you don't say that their favorite? Yeah,

1171
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:41,320
I don't hate the Beatles. So if you and I

1172
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,599
went on a two hour road trip to say regulars,

1173
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,519
I don't want two hours of the Beatles they have

1174
01:02:45,639 --> 01:02:49,400
some hits, a lot of late stage Beetles Beatlemania stuff.

1175
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,960
I'm not a huge beetle Ania fan. I well, it's

1176
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:55,880
it's it. It was for the era, it was for

1177
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,760
the time. It was. It was to get the teen girls.

1178
01:02:58,199 --> 01:03:02,119
They started to make it up with Help and then

1179
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,719
the follow up albums to that. I mean, it's it's

1180
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:06,440
an all time run. You're trying to pull up the

1181
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:08,599
old discography. What happened after Help, Matt, you should know

1182
01:03:08,679 --> 01:03:13,039
right well you got uh you got Revolver. You have

1183
01:03:13,119 --> 01:03:16,440
Rubber sol, Rubber Soul, Revolver. So it's my first favorite album.

1184
01:03:16,519 --> 01:03:22,199
Yeah album, Yeah Marine, that it be is fine? Let

1185
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:26,599
it be the album I was gonna say. His song

1186
01:03:26,719 --> 01:03:30,000
is is amazing. Yeah, the song's great. All right, turn

1187
01:03:30,079 --> 01:03:31,400
this off and now I want to think this. Listen to

1188
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:35,000
Beatles for three hours the show. All right, Uh, Ross,

1189
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:36,360
what don't you get anything in your life you don't

1190
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:42,719
get today? I'm sorry to do this because obviously he

1191
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:47,119
is a broken man. But uh now video is out

1192
01:03:47,159 --> 01:03:51,800
of Tiger Woods. Yeah, go ahead. You have billions and

1193
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,440
billions of dollars. You have all these resources at your

1194
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:58,480
disposal for which now he's going to rehab overseas, So

1195
01:03:58,559 --> 01:04:01,440
that's good. He wanted to go overseas to avoid the

1196
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,639
limelight or whatever. I guess that's fair, whatever, whatever, whatever

1197
01:04:04,679 --> 01:04:06,559
it takes. Man put him in Sri Lanka, I don't know,

1198
01:04:06,599 --> 01:04:08,239
put him in the middle of the Amazon for us.

1199
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,920
Tiger Woods is one of the great athletes. Like I'm

1200
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,159
gonna put like Mount Rushmore of the best most dominant

1201
01:04:15,159 --> 01:04:17,559
athletes I've ever seen. I'm putting Tiger Woods on there.

1202
01:04:17,719 --> 01:04:20,840
You really are, yes, And that's that's only a four

1203
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:28,079
spot up there, Lionel Messi, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods was

1204
01:04:28,119 --> 01:04:31,519
tough alright, shut up anyways. I just don't get how

1205
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,639
he had the bad crash in twenty one, Like, how

1206
01:04:33,639 --> 01:04:35,760
many wake up calls do you need? Well, how much

1207
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,800
he had the incident with his wife, Elan Norgren. How

1208
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,800
many I don't wake up calls does the average person

1209
01:04:42,079 --> 01:04:46,000
need in their life. It's more than one sometimes, Yeah,

1210
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,719
And that's what I'm saying. I'm not trying to judge.

1211
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,920
I don't know his path obviously, you know his father

1212
01:04:51,039 --> 01:04:53,119
he was like a built to be a machine, a

1213
01:04:53,159 --> 01:04:57,199
golfing machine from age zero. Correct, So he had a

1214
01:04:57,239 --> 01:05:00,559
tough upbringing and stuff like that, and he's had massive success.

1215
01:05:00,679 --> 01:05:04,360
But I don't get it. Man, you're driving around on

1216
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:10,079
pills and all this stuff. Like, well, I'm worried. I'm

1217
01:05:10,079 --> 01:05:12,679
worried for him. I'm wishing him to bet this. Honestly,

1218
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,800
this probably is his ninth life. How he survived he

1219
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,800
could any car accidents and he's not hurt himself or

1220
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,280
anybody else is absolutely amazing. They said he should have

1221
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:25,840
died in twenty twenty one, and like that's another lease

1222
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,639
on life. And then you're getting into another rollover accident

1223
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:34,440
five years later and he didn't kill anybody or severely hurt.

1224
01:05:34,519 --> 01:05:38,119
How many rollover accidents have you caused, Matt zero, I'm

1225
01:05:38,119 --> 01:05:40,480
at zero. Yeah, I'm not trying to judge again, Like

1226
01:05:40,559 --> 01:05:42,559
it's it's hard to I mean, feel judgy, I guess,

1227
01:05:42,599 --> 01:05:44,559
but I just know you're you know what you're allowed

1228
01:05:44,599 --> 01:05:46,960
to judge. I don't get it. You've you've watched this

1229
01:05:47,039 --> 01:05:50,639
guy self destruct. I don't want this to be having

1230
01:05:50,679 --> 01:05:52,400
the gift of being was on pace to be the

1231
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,440
greatest golfer of all time and Tigre's not the greatest

1232
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,599
golf of all time. Now he's got my vote, I

1233
01:05:57,639 --> 01:06:01,480
know he does hire winner entire more and more leading

1234
01:06:01,599 --> 01:06:04,960
money winners, more money winners Jack Nicholas in nineteen seventy

1235
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:06,559
four was a difference than it was. So he's the

1236
01:06:06,599 --> 01:06:11,800
money leader against his peers. Give me Nicholas, gim me Palmer.

1237
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,159
I'm going Woods. Woods could have done it, though Woos

1238
01:06:14,199 --> 01:06:17,079
could have. I mean Woods was more dominant. But I

1239
01:06:17,119 --> 01:06:19,719
think longevity does playing it. Golf is a longevity sport.

1240
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,280
How do you do it for? I mean he won

1241
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,519
the Masters in nineteen at what forty five? Yeah? But

1242
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,079
what was the in between? I mean what was he was?

1243
01:06:27,079 --> 01:06:29,840
Thirty seven to forty five? Twenty surgeries on his knee

1244
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,639
and seven surgeries on his back. Okay, Well, I mean

1245
01:06:32,719 --> 01:06:34,639
injuries are part of the equation. So I'm going with

1246
01:06:34,639 --> 01:06:36,639
Tiger Woods. I mean, I don't think it's crazy to

1247
01:06:36,639 --> 01:06:38,800
say that. It's not crazy. I'm just going to disagree

1248
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,480
with you, okay. Uh seven one three two one two

1249
01:06:41,559 --> 01:06:44,199
five seven ninety seven one three two one two five seven. Jonathan,

1250
01:06:44,199 --> 01:06:45,199
what don't you get this week?

1251
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,639
Speaker 10: You know it's funny because, uh myad was about golf too,

1252
01:06:49,679 --> 01:06:52,559
but it wasn't about Tiger Woods. I was just sitting

1253
01:06:52,599 --> 01:06:55,400
in my car, thinking, you know, golf probably is the

1254
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:59,360
only sport where you can't you know, play like active,

1255
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,480
like play in it and be active in it without

1256
01:07:01,559 --> 01:07:04,679
being in a business casual attire. And I was just like,

1257
01:07:05,079 --> 01:07:06,920
I guess I know the answer, but I really don't

1258
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:08,320
get like do you have to be there, Like when

1259
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,360
you go to country clubs, you have to like dress

1260
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:10,880
up or like.

1261
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,679
Speaker 2: They most country clubs have a dress code.

1262
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:14,079
Speaker 3: What's up?

1263
01:07:14,159 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 10: Like, so like what's the history on that? Like I'm

1264
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:17,719
paying all this money, I got to dress certain way

1265
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:18,519
to go play golf.

1266
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:21,199
Speaker 2: To like you know what I mean, like, what would

1267
01:07:21,199 --> 01:07:21,760
you like to wear?

1268
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,559
Speaker 10: Just I mean, I obviously nothing like trashy or nothing

1269
01:07:25,599 --> 01:07:26,239
like that, but I.

1270
01:07:26,199 --> 01:07:28,199
Speaker 2: Mean, well, I don't think they're asking you to look

1271
01:07:28,239 --> 01:07:29,840
like I mean, you go to the pool, they don't

1272
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:31,079
want you wearing cut off jeans.

1273
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,119
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's dress like when you're going and you going

1274
01:07:34,159 --> 01:07:36,000
on the fairway type of thing, like you get your

1275
01:07:36,039 --> 01:07:38,280
drive in your hand and it's like five in the morning,

1276
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:39,760
whenever you go up there at six o'clock.

1277
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,719
Speaker 2: Tradition that I would just say tradition, and in every

1278
01:07:43,719 --> 01:07:45,840
golf course is the same way. That's not every golf course.

1279
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,480
You go to a mediat a public course, down a

1280
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,639
public course, a sharps down, you can wear you know

1281
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:51,639
you want.

1282
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 10: I've never seen that though, That's what I'm saying. I've

1283
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,719
never seen you don't play golf like I just don't

1284
01:07:55,719 --> 01:07:57,960
get that. No one plays golf in anything casual.

1285
01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:00,719
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you can still go the collar shirt

1286
01:08:00,719 --> 01:08:03,639
and shorts. It's very casual. I'm not asking you to

1287
01:08:03,679 --> 01:08:05,679
put a three piece suit on. Yeah, you can pullo

1288
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,320
in some golf shorts. I mean, I guess I understand

1289
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:09,559
where you're coming from. But yeah, you go to the

1290
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:13,800
par three course off of the Beltway, they don't have

1291
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:17,319
a wear whatever you want. In Baytown it's shirt optional.

1292
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,880
Could you imagine that works on a golf course. It's

1293
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:27,159
Baytown and tank top and that you're gonna say say

1294
01:08:27,199 --> 01:08:29,199
the other No, no, what you're gonna say? I was gonna say,

1295
01:08:29,239 --> 01:08:31,199
you can't say anymore? Can you? No? It's not one

1296
01:08:31,279 --> 01:08:33,279
was was it ever? Was it ever okay to say it?

1297
01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:36,279
I think, I mean, we just didn't say it. But

1298
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,319
I'm not saying it. I'm not doing it. You get

1299
01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:41,720
a rhyme it, No, let's move on. No, I'm o

1300
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:45,079
uh at this point, I don't know if I you know,

1301
01:08:45,119 --> 01:08:47,119
I mentioned earlier this week, I don't get why you

1302
01:08:47,159 --> 01:08:49,039
would have a bluetooth in your ear twenty four to seven.

1303
01:08:49,079 --> 01:08:50,560
I just think it's really happening.

1304
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:51,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.

1305
01:08:51,199 --> 01:08:53,399
Speaker 2: I don't get that either, But what do I know?

1306
01:08:54,159 --> 01:08:54,319
Speaker 3: Yeh.

1307
01:08:54,319 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 2: As far as golf, I would just say it's a tradition.

1308
01:08:56,359 --> 01:08:58,000
I might I understand what you want to tear down

1309
01:08:58,000 --> 01:08:59,319
that tradition. I mean, what do you want to wear?

1310
01:09:00,399 --> 01:09:02,600
What do you want to wear? Because you're you're out

1311
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,319
there for four hours and it's one hundred and two degrees,

1312
01:09:06,119 --> 01:09:07,920
you can't wear khaki shorts and a polos.

1313
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 10: You can wear like athletics shorts and the like a

1314
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:11,319
T shirt.

1315
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,199
Speaker 2: So you want to be in like gym gear. I

1316
01:09:14,199 --> 01:09:14,920
feel like i'mnestly.

1317
01:09:15,039 --> 01:09:16,640
Speaker 10: I want me I'm saying, I feel like I've never

1318
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:17,920
seen that, Like, like, why does no one I.

1319
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 2: Think you can wear depending on the course, I don't know.

1320
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:21,640
I don't play golf much.

1321
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:23,319
Speaker 10: These I'm telling you, I've never seen them a life

1322
01:09:23,319 --> 01:09:24,520
and my grandpa golfs every morning.

1323
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 2: They gotta work. You go with them?

1324
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,359
Speaker 10: No, No, I'm just saying, like he like and then

1325
01:09:28,399 --> 01:09:30,159
I have this homeboy that was I run track with.

1326
01:09:30,239 --> 01:09:32,920
Now he's golfs and he's wearing everything. But you know,

1327
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,720
like business at tire. I mean, I think it's just

1328
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:36,520
part of the sport.

1329
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 2: Like if somebody gets into running and then they they're like, oh,

1330
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,239
I bought a garment watch. You know, I got these

1331
01:09:40,319 --> 01:09:41,760
running shorts and all I got this. So they get

1332
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,399
into biking and all of a sudden they're dressing like

1333
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:47,119
Lance Prime, Lamps, Armstrong. It's just like you wear the

1334
01:09:47,159 --> 01:09:49,760
outfit when you get into the sport tennis, Like they

1335
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,399
have tennis skirts and tennis outfits that people wear. Definitely

1336
01:09:53,399 --> 01:09:55,840
see people like go to tennis pot and practice in

1337
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:57,000
the gym. But I mean it's just kind of like

1338
01:09:57,039 --> 01:10:02,079
the uniform. Nobody's nobody's fing jean, somebody's playing tennis and geans.

1339
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:06,359
Stop this are you playing? Guys? I'm just saying, like

1340
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,159
you're you're out there walking on the hot ass course

1341
01:10:09,159 --> 01:10:12,880
for four hours and and well probably you're writing a

1342
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:16,680
card too, and yeah, Kaki shorts are comfortable. I don't know.

1343
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:18,279
I mean, if you want to work out, we have

1344
01:10:18,359 --> 01:10:20,239
to you know, you're not working out, you're going to

1345
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:22,880
it's an event. You're going to play golf, but you're

1346
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,439
not going to Lifetime. You're not going to Lifetime Fitness

1347
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,800
to go uh to pump a bunch of iron and

1348
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,840
video yourself on Instagram. It's like an event. Are we're

1349
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,920
going to play golf, So I'm going to put on

1350
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,319
my golf outfit and you can get your steps in golf.

1351
01:10:36,359 --> 01:10:37,760
You don't have to get a golf call. You could,

1352
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:38,399
but yeah, if.

1353
01:10:38,279 --> 01:10:40,640
Speaker 10: You really want to labor, you get what I'm saying, Like,

1354
01:10:41,039 --> 01:10:43,119
that's just the only I just don't understand that's the

1355
01:10:43,159 --> 01:10:44,319
only sport like the world.

1356
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,239
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying you're crazy. It's not the

1357
01:10:46,279 --> 01:10:49,239
only sport. We just mentioned tennis and I don't know whatever.

1358
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,279
Speaker 10: CycL You can go on a bike, no, no, no, no,

1359
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:53,399
that's that's different.

1360
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 2: If you're in No, I'm not talking about your going

1361
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,399
with with the boys to the Valro station on your bike.

1362
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,920
I'm talking about your like cycling, my dads, cyclist. I'm

1363
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,560
telling you can go a cyclist. You wear bike shorts.

1364
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,600
Speaker 10: That's different because that's the aerodynamics and that's how you

1365
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,640
get the speed. That's that's totally different sport because that

1366
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,640
has all the physics inside of it. When you talk

1367
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,359
about totally different but tennis. But you go to the

1368
01:11:14,359 --> 01:11:16,560
tennis court, you don't have to wear it attire.

1369
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,399
Speaker 2: You can't. You don't have to. But I'm not normally

1370
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,640
wearing mc hammer puffy pants and uh and a jester

1371
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,079
or hat on the tennis court. Golf is a different

1372
01:11:25,079 --> 01:11:28,000
sport where you see everybody that participates in it, it's

1373
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,920
gonna wear that they're little uniform. Not everybody. There's not

1374
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:36,600
one rate like this majority. It's the only sport I

1375
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:38,760
don't know. I don't think a collared shirt and shorts

1376
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:41,920
is necessarily bucking. This is some sort of official uniform. It's

1377
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,880
what it is. You see. You just describe the uniform everybody.

1378
01:11:45,039 --> 01:11:47,680
I mean, I've seen people golfing and regular athletic uh.

1379
01:11:48,279 --> 01:11:50,479
You know what, You're not required wearing nickers when you're athletic.

1380
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:52,800
I've seen people golf and athletic shirts and non colored

1381
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:54,560
colored do you want to wear nut huggers? What do

1382
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,600
you want to wear? I'm saying, what do you want

1383
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:56,920
to wear?

1384
01:11:57,239 --> 01:12:00,520
Speaker 10: Is describing is what I've never seen driving and seeing

1385
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:01,760
people at the golf course.

1386
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 2: I've never seen anybody in just rather a regular like

1387
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,800
Adida's Mors Moisture waking T shirt I only have. I've

1388
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,039
never seen the wood drive around more. All right, let's

1389
01:12:11,359 --> 01:12:15,720
let's get off this golf conversation. That's peril. I'm sure

1390
01:12:16,239 --> 01:12:19,960
Reichy and Mamiitas is really happy about this. Talk. Uh easy,

1391

01:12:31,039 --> 01:12:32,760
That's all I'm gonna tell you right now. Your career

1395
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:38,520

this is you get mad at me because it's gonna

1399
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:51,119
be cliche. That's probably the best, most famous, most famous,

1400
01:12:51,159 --> 01:12:51,760
not his best.

1401
01:12:52,079 --> 01:12:55,159

1418
01:13:34,079 --> 01:13:36,199
Speaker 5: Good morning, gentlemen. We don't you get a couple of

1419
01:13:36,279 --> 01:13:39,159
I don't get all right, I got a couple of them.

1420
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,720
First one is when somebody asks you, are you sure

1421
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,199
I've been in my profession for twenty five years. They

1422
01:13:45,279 --> 01:13:47,640
come to you with a problem and you offer them

1423
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,640
a solution, and then they ask you, are you sure

1424
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,439
you're a normal user. I've been in this profession twenty

1425
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,520
five years. Apparently you're not sure if you're asking me

1426
01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:59,760
about it. So I don't get that.

1427
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:04,399
Speaker 2: The second one you is, I T yes, yeah, that

1428
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:04,880
makes sense.

1429
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 5: And the second one is when people use the word

1430
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:14,840
we casual sports fans use the word we when they

1431
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:18,960
refer to professional teams. I watched the game uh Saturday

1432
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,439
when de min was was having his trouble with with

1433
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:23,800
the pitching. He was struggling a little bit, and the

1434
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:25,960
guy sitting next to me, he's like, yeah, we paid

1435
01:14:26,039 --> 01:14:28,000
him all this money. I was like, wait a minute,

1436
01:14:28,079 --> 01:14:30,600
are you part of the Crane family? Are you associated

1437
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:36,319
with the Astros? We did not pay anything. Also with

1438
01:14:36,119 --> 01:14:38,760
the with with with with the Cougars. Uh, you know

1439
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,880
they they they they took their fall. Yeah, we lost.

1440
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:45,640
You're not an alumni, you're not a booster. You probably

1441
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,920
can't name two people on that team. How is it we?

1442
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:51,319
I just don't get it.

1443
01:14:52,079 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 2: And going back ahead, my we, my we descriptions of

1444
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,840
the following. If you went to a school, you're automatically

1445
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:03,159
a all right number two. If you work for a

1446
01:15:03,199 --> 01:15:06,760
particular team, you can be a WEI. I also believe

1447
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:08,760
if you have been a fan of a particular team

1448
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,000
for some or all of your life, you can say

1449
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,520
we the Astro fans or we the Rockets. I'm okay

1450
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:16,920
with that. I don't think media should do it unless, again,

1451
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,880
you're employed by the team, because you're supposed to be

1452
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:21,239
even though you are a root for the team or

1453
01:15:21,359 --> 01:15:24,359
support of the team, you're not technically a member of

1454
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,159
said team. So as much as I'm an astro fan,

1455
01:15:27,399 --> 01:15:29,279
I don't ever say we need to hit better when

1456
01:15:29,319 --> 01:15:32,600
runners in scoring position. Now I do, but clarify myself

1457
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:34,479
as we as a Houston Rocket, as I'm a Houston

1458
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:37,479
Rockets employee. I've been winning them for ten years thirteen overall,

1459
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,279
if you go back to the first time. So again,

1460
01:15:39,319 --> 01:15:43,760
everybody's got their own definitions. I generally don't mind the

1461
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:48,760
use of we in most situations, and.

1462
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:52,199
Speaker 5: I get it. And then to Jonathan's point, shout out

1463
01:15:52,199 --> 01:15:55,239
to my boys that the Melrose golf course, you can

1464
01:15:55,279 --> 01:15:57,000
come in there with no dress code. You can come

1465
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,119
in with a tank top and flip flops and play eighteen.

1466
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:01,399
That's all I can go, gentlemen, Thank you easy.

1467
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,560
Speaker 2: How about that if you all know of a place

1468
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:07,600
where Johnathan can go wearing a thong, a tank top,

1469
01:16:08,039 --> 01:16:10,800
no socks and shower shoes.

1470
01:16:11,119 --> 01:16:13,079
Speaker 10: Yeah, he wants to go play golf at your course.

1471
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:14,680
It's spend a lot of the money on these clothes.

1472
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,159
I'm not to spend more money in clothes.

1473
01:16:17,239 --> 01:16:20,399
Speaker 2: Golf is an expensive habit. My friend. I've given it up.

1474
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:22,720
I had shoulder surgery ten years ago. I haven't played since,

1475
01:16:23,319 --> 01:16:25,479
and honestly, I hate to say this, I don't miss it.

1476
01:16:26,199 --> 01:16:28,680
I miss it. I used to play when I was

1477
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,359
on the morning shift and I would get off at

1478
01:16:30,359 --> 01:16:31,800
noon and I would have nothing to do. So I

1479
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,279
got into golf. I got addicted to golf quite frankly. Yeah,

1480
01:16:34,279 --> 01:16:37,239
I was going hitting balls every day, going every weekend.

1481
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:41,479
That's a straight on your wallet right there, that it

1482
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,119
is golfing to do a better job of making it cheaper.

1483
01:16:44,279 --> 01:16:47,439
I think you price people and they don't care. They don't.

1484
01:16:48,279 --> 01:16:50,119
But I see a lot of golf course. I just

1485
01:16:50,239 --> 01:16:52,920
do camping gear. Everything's three hundred, four hundred dollars. But

1486
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,319
the problem is with golfing is it's expensive to maintain

1487
01:16:55,359 --> 01:16:57,720
these courses. I mean it is true and watering. And

1488
01:16:57,840 --> 01:16:59,439
do you want nice ones? Do you want good? I

1489
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:02,199
mean those greens they don't just in organically look really

1490
01:17:02,239 --> 01:17:04,920
Pristina when you get there, gotta be manicuring and love.

1491
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,000
Don Do I get it? So I get why golf

1492
01:17:07,079 --> 01:17:09,359
is expensive. I mean I like it. Let's talk to

1493
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,840
We haven't talked to JR. In a long time Jr.

1494
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:15,039
Good morning. Where are you been, Matt?

1495
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:17,239
Speaker 14: How are you doing? My friends?

1496
01:17:17,359 --> 01:17:20,199
Speaker 2: I know it's been a long long time. What's you now?

1497
01:17:20,239 --> 01:17:21,960
Are you in Denver? Now? Is that what I'm seeing?

1498
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:30,039
Speaker 14: No, sir, No, sir, chasing chasing cruise throughout the middle

1499
01:17:30,079 --> 01:17:31,640
of nowhere. Oklahoma.

1500
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Well hopefully you're safe. How are things?

1501
01:17:34,079 --> 01:17:34,520
Let's go to that.

1502
01:17:36,199 --> 01:17:37,199
Speaker 11: Oh it's going good.

1503
01:17:37,239 --> 01:17:40,319
Speaker 14: I just wanted to tell you what I don't understand,

1504
01:17:40,399 --> 01:17:43,199
But first I got a question.

1505
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:45,039
Speaker 2: Do we all agree.

1506
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,319
Speaker 14: That Tiger Woods is the most successful golfer in the

1507
01:17:47,359 --> 01:17:48,279
last forty years?

1508
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 2: Yes? Okay.

1509
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,319
Speaker 14: Now do we all agree that Tiger Woods has made

1510
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,720
more money than any golfer ever?

1511
01:17:59,159 --> 01:17:59,520
Speaker 2: Yes?

1512
01:18:01,359 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 6: Okay.

1513
01:18:02,159 --> 01:18:05,399
Speaker 14: Why didn't this joker, what I don't understand, have a

1514
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:06,960
driver to take.

1515
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 5: Him wherever he needs to go? I mean, if he

1516
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,680
has if he wanted to go to.

1517
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:16,119
Speaker 14: A restaurant, I mean, hey, I want to go to

1518
01:18:16,159 --> 01:18:19,399
a restaurant. I'm Tiger Woods. Come pick me up. I mean,

1519
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:22,920
I don't get it. Somebody please tell me what's going

1520
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:23,359
on with you.

1521
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 2: There's nothing I can say, Jared, except I just don't

1522
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:27,159
get it. Thanks for the phone call. Good to hear

1523
01:18:27,159 --> 01:18:30,319
your voice been a long time? The reality? Is this

1524
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:35,079
the reason he gets o good? You don't want to be?

1525
01:18:36,159 --> 01:18:38,079
You know, I don't know if it's not a question

1526
01:18:38,119 --> 01:18:41,680
of paying somebody, I mean, it's is it the logistics

1527
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:43,720
of having to call somebody and have him come pick

1528
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:45,319
you up? Or is it you know, hey, I want

1529
01:18:45,319 --> 01:18:46,439
to go get a burg or is it just you

1530
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,279
know what I can get away with stuff. I'm Tiger Woods,

1531
01:18:49,319 --> 01:18:52,680
I can I'm fine. I'm not under the influence of anything.

1532
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,920
I can drive easily. Nothing to worry about here. What

1533
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:57,520
do you think it is? Yeah? I think I think

1534
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:02,159
he's he said privacy web to hire a bro that's

1535
01:19:02,199 --> 01:19:06,199
a super private dude, make him sign an NDA, do

1536
01:19:06,239 --> 01:19:09,359
you know? I think it's because he's let me take

1537
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,279
a bunch of different women. And there are the most

1538
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,199
the most incredible athletes that I've ever covered or worked

1539
01:19:16,239 --> 01:19:18,800
with or worked around, all have guys they just do

1540
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,800
I mean, but there there is We hear of athletes

1541
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,720
getting in DUIs and stuff all the time, car crashes

1542
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:30,840
and incidents. So I mean, it's pretty common for millionaire

1543
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:34,640
athletes to not want to pay for a driver. Well,

1544
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,640
I would think one with an addiction problem that's had

1545
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,760
multiple car accidents, probably should think otherwise. He probably should

1546
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:41,560
real quick before we get to the news at noon.

1547
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:44,640
I just don't get it. Do you know who had teams?

1548
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:46,800
You know who had security at the game on Tuesday night?

1549
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:53,119
The Rockets and Nicks. Craig Ackerman NBC did. There was

1550
01:19:53,199 --> 01:19:56,039
some stoic bro who did not crack a smile for

1551
01:19:56,079 --> 01:19:58,159
the entire time that I saw him. I think he

1552
01:19:58,319 --> 01:20:02,880
was Reggie mill security person. Oh really, do you think

1553
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:06,520
Reggie Miller needs security in twenty twenty six? Probably why

1554
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,920
people are crazy if he feels like I don't know you,

1555
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:14,800
we don't know. Maybe he's gotten some threats. That's just

1556
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,840
that I don't I mean, I guess that you'd help me,

1557
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:19,720
you just help me figure out why I don't get something.

1558
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:21,680
In theory, I would hope you wouldn't need it. I mean,

1559
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:24,079
he's a hall of famer though, Yeah, but it's just

1560
01:20:24,319 --> 01:20:28,359
this's Reggie Miller. It's it's I mean, Joe Montana's a

1561
01:20:28,359 --> 01:20:33,680
Hall of famer. He didn't have security. Doesn't he do it? No?

1562
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,600
I don't think he does. Well, maybe maybe it's only

1563
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,439
when he's in arenas. Maybe he's been attacked. Maybe he's

1564
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:41,920
been threatened. I don't know, somebody the autograph, you know,

1565
01:20:42,039 --> 01:20:43,720
like get away from me. Yeah, back off. I've read

1566
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,880
how many bad takes. He's gotten better. He used to

1567
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:50,760
be able, still isn't great. I think he took the criticism.

1568
01:20:50,840 --> 01:21:00,359
Herton improved, so good for him. Yeah, he's fine. Let's

1569
01:21:00,359 --> 01:21:01,840
get to the news at noon. You want to, I

1570
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:07,760
would love to, but sometimes the heat is on. Thank you,

1571
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:09,600
Robert Palmer, thank you. Power Station.

1572
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:30,640

01:21:50,159 --> 01:21:52,279

1583
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:02,880
we go, Yes, Matthew will go in chronological order, which

1584
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:07,119
means we will start with your Houston Astros six to

1585
01:22:07,279 --> 01:22:12,279
four victory over the Boston Red Socks. Mike Burrows was

1586
01:22:12,359 --> 01:22:17,439
solid five innings, pitch to earn runs, three walks, six strikeouts.

1587
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:19,880
Did have some slight control issues here and there, but

1588
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:22,439
he was spinding the breaking stuff and getting a lot

1589
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:27,439
of whiffs and some effective pitching for the Houston Astros.

1590
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:29,880
Aj blue Ball continues to be a dude as he

1591
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,119
came in and did his thing. Kywaiting did give up

1592
01:22:32,159 --> 01:22:35,000
a solo shot, as did Brian abrey You, who is

1593
01:22:35,039 --> 01:22:40,800
now perfect one for one in save opportunities. Brian abray

1594
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:43,880
You with his ERA down to nineteen point two nine,

1595
01:22:44,039 --> 01:22:46,720
nineteen point two nine, you know, I did get some

1596
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:50,039
strikeouts that yeah, he struck out the side after giving

1597
01:22:50,079 --> 01:22:54,760
up a solo shot to Roman Anthony to start the hitting.

1598
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:59,000
I almost sad start the segment. That's the same the

1599
01:22:59,079 --> 01:23:02,239
segment of the game. So Brian to bray you a

1600
01:23:02,239 --> 01:23:04,960
perfect one for one and save opportunities. So far, my

1601
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:09,640
got feelings looking good and uh, his era is just

1602
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:13,359
above the voting age, so that's fine. It's gonna come down,

1603
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,319
I would certainly hope. So although they're going to play

1604
01:23:16,319 --> 01:23:19,359
in Sacramento, which means that's true. Everybody, Zra is going

1605
01:23:19,399 --> 01:23:21,960
to get a little over. Astro's offense gonna be just

1606
01:23:22,039 --> 01:23:25,000
fine in a Sacramento. There are now five and two

1607
01:23:25,279 --> 01:23:29,560
your Houston Astros. Of course, the big one yesterday was

1608
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:35,199
Carlos Care's three run bomb off of Garrett krossche so

1609
01:23:35,279 --> 01:23:38,399
Astros offense looking good. Carls Kraaye with a home run.

1610
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,800
Christian Vasquez had a home run as well. By the way,

1611
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:46,720
Christian Vasquez, Uh, for any of you that are fighting, well,

1612
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,159
let's put it this way. Catchers typically aren't gonna be

1613
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:52,680
the leanest machines out there.

1614
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:53,199
Speaker 3: M hm.

1615
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:59,199
Speaker 2: He's healthy, eating well well, I mean he got called

1616
01:23:59,199 --> 01:24:01,359
off the couch a couple of weeks ago. So so

1617
01:24:01,399 --> 01:24:03,159
you want to say it God and say it. That's

1618
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:05,840
he could drop a couple you know, I would think it.

1619
01:24:06,079 --> 01:24:13,119
No snow, no secret, No, I don't. Yeah. Yeah, his

1620
01:24:13,159 --> 01:24:15,079
waist size probably could go down a couple of inches. Sure,

1621
01:24:15,119 --> 01:24:17,960
why not Rockets beat it? Oh no, we can't do that,

1622
01:24:18,079 --> 01:24:21,880
he did. No, I cannot Rockets beat the Milwaukee Bucks

1623
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:27,279
one nineteen to one of thirteen. Read a Shepherd insarts

1624
01:24:27,359 --> 01:24:30,680
it back into the starting lineup for the Rockets nine

1625
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:35,359
of fifteen overall, nine of fourteen from three. He was

1626
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,520
on a fighter and he was hitting him from thirty

1627
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,279
plus last night, Matt, he was career high. As you mentioned,

1628
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:43,800
Rockets with the victory, now go to number five in

1629
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:46,359
the Western Conference, a half game in front of Minnesota, who,

1630
01:24:46,359 --> 01:24:48,520
by the way, played the San Antonio Spurs. I think

1631
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:57,000
tonight say it with me, five seed, go Spurs. Now

1632
01:24:57,279 --> 01:24:58,840
do you want to be the five to go on

1633
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:02,359
the road to take on the Nuggets in three? Wouldn't

1634
01:25:02,359 --> 01:25:03,840
you rather be the sixth to go on the road

1635
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:09,079
to take on the Lakers? Both are tough, Okay, As

1636
01:25:09,199 --> 01:25:11,920
let me give you the two different perspectives. Okay, the

1637
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,880
fan in me says, I like the chances against the

1638
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:20,000
Lakers better. The competitor in me and the competitor that's

1639
01:25:20,039 --> 01:25:21,880
in the Houston Rockets are like, we need to be

1640
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:25,960
playing good basketball going into the postseason, and I guarantee

1641
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:29,279
you that every NBA team is going well. If we're

1642
01:25:29,279 --> 01:25:31,239
gonna win a championship, we're gonna have to be beating

1643
01:25:31,279 --> 01:25:34,760
not one, not two, but probably three excellent teams wherever

1644
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:36,600
the Chips fall, where they may will play. Who we

1645
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:40,079
have to play. So to answer your question in a

1646
01:25:40,119 --> 01:25:43,279
long form, there, you can't dog a game just to

1647
01:25:43,359 --> 01:25:45,199
drop a spot. I'm not saying that they need to

1648
01:25:45,239 --> 01:25:47,239
dog a game. I'm saying, which would you rather happen?

1649
01:25:47,319 --> 01:25:50,399
I would rather play the Los Angeles Lakers. Okay, to

1650
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,399
answer your questions, so we'll see what happens. Game and

1651
01:25:52,399 --> 01:25:55,840
a half behind the Nuggets are your Houston Rockets home court.

1652
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,319
I would like home court advantage over over any of it.

1653
01:25:58,359 --> 01:26:00,640
I think so you take home court over anybody as

1654
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:03,279
compared to playing a road against them. I said differently

1655
01:26:03,399 --> 01:26:05,279
last night, but I've changed. I reserved the right to

1656
01:26:05,359 --> 01:26:06,880
change my mind. Oh it's fine, we changed our mind.

1657
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:08,960
Here A constantly home court over everything. Try to get

1658
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,439
in that four spot half game ahead against the Timberwolves.

1659
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:15,840
A gut feeling. How much does that second and last

1660
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,880
game matter between the Timberwolves and the Rockets. I could

1661
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:22,520
see it going either way. Gut tells me it's going

1662
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,720
to mean something. But I think you're right. Yeah again,

1663
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,920
you're talking. These teams have been separated four five six

1664
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:30,520
by about a game, game and a half for about

1665
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:32,840
two months now. The Lakers the only team that's really

1666
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:36,119
kind of pulled away. Yeah, they are a game and

1667
01:26:36,119 --> 01:26:38,600
a half, but just one in the lost column. Oh sorry,

1668
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:40,520
two three in the lost column ahead of the Rockets,

1669
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:46,039
but never mind, all right, Matthew. Also, I don't even

1670
01:26:46,079 --> 01:26:48,239
want to talk about what Victor winbin Yama did last

1671
01:26:48,279 --> 01:26:50,720
night against Jess do it because we provide information in

1672
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:57,680
all audience one one thirteen Warriors over the Spurs. Wimby

1673
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:05,399
had forty one points and eighteen rebounds. He sucks Adam Clinton. Yeah,

1674
01:27:05,399 --> 01:27:08,279
he's a bum. I believe the words were bum. What

1675
01:27:08,319 --> 01:27:12,800
a bum? Victor wimbin Yama is forty one and eighteen

1676
01:27:13,159 --> 01:27:18,119
forty one and eighteen crazy three blocks as well, he's

1677
01:27:18,119 --> 01:27:22,199
making an MVP push, very late MVP push. So is

1678
01:27:22,199 --> 01:27:23,239
it SGA.

1679
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 3: Him?

1680
01:27:25,119 --> 01:27:31,039
Speaker 2: Wimby? Kate is disqualified? Can Jalen Brown get it? Jalen

1681
01:27:31,079 --> 01:27:35,000
Brown's not the craziest thing. Jason Tatum's playing well for

1682
01:27:35,039 --> 01:27:36,920
the Celtics right now too. Yeah, but he's not gonna

1683
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:38,960
it's analytical, So that's a boot to point.

1684
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:39,399
Speaker 1: All right.

1685
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 2: NFL News, Matthew, do you have some yes Kirk Cousins

1686
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:48,640
agreeing to sign with the Raiders. Now it is listed

1687
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:51,600
as a five year deal for one hundred and seventy

1688
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:55,960
two million dollars, but it's actually just one year, twenty

1689
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,600
million dollars guaranteed, and then it will have a club

1690
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:05,039
option for two years at eighty million. According to Adam Schefter.

1691
01:28:05,279 --> 01:28:07,680
Let me tell you this, and I've brought this up

1692
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:10,640
five hundred times. You know, when you want to come

1693
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:13,640
back as a different person in life, Yes, I think

1694
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:15,680
coming back at kirk Cousins has got to be on

1695
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:20,039
the mount Rushmore of the list. Currently career earnings, you

1696
01:28:20,039 --> 01:28:23,239
know what, Yes, kirk Cousins career earnings, how many years?

1697
01:28:24,399 --> 01:28:30,199
Fourteen year career five hundred and forty million, three hundred

1698
01:28:30,279 --> 01:28:33,960
and thirty three. Okay, let's still a lot. Let's put

1699
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:36,840
this in perspective. We add this one to seventy two.

1700
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:38,640
He's there. Well, let's not on all that, and let's

1701
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:42,359
talk about what's guaranteed to him Kirk Cousins. When you

1702
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:46,199
think of a quarterback, how many years has it taken

1703
01:28:46,239 --> 01:28:48,399
to you think of kirk Cousins being an elite one

1704
01:28:49,079 --> 01:28:52,520
many years, many many many down the list. Three hundred

1705
01:28:53,319 --> 01:29:02,000
thirty three million dollars kirk Cousins double franchise tagged by

1706
01:29:02,039 --> 01:29:07,319
the Commanders big money from Minnesota, decent money from Atlanta,

1707
01:29:08,319 --> 01:29:11,720
and now decent really good money from the Los Angeles

1708
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:14,640
Raiders or the Los Angele Raiders, the Las Vegas Raiders. Yes,

1709
01:29:16,079 --> 01:29:22,279
Kirk Cousins three hundred thirty three million dollars. Wow, Fernando

1710
01:29:22,359 --> 01:29:25,920
Mendoza likely to be selected first overall by the Raiders.

1711
01:29:26,079 --> 01:29:32,760
And that makes sense why I'm bringing this up. He

1712
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:37,680
skipped out on Indiana prote yesterday. Yes, done, He's like,

1713
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,680
I ain't got time for that. Now we're good, sign

1714
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:46,239
me up. So Fernando Mendoza number one overall to the Raiders,

1715
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,880
with Kirk Cousins putting him under his wing. All right,

1716
01:29:50,319 --> 01:29:53,800
bust or all pro? Oh one of the other? One

1717
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:57,520
or the other Fernando Mendoza, I don't know. He just

1718
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:02,079
feels like a no all pro. Then, Okay, your guess

1719
01:30:02,199 --> 01:30:04,159
I had to pick one. Yeah, you would think one

1720
01:30:04,199 --> 01:30:06,479
dash one would should be an all pro. Correct, you

1721
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:09,479
would hope. So yeah, apparently I don't know. Some people

1722
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:11,760
don't think this is the greatest draft year of all time,

1723
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:14,359
but who knows. Okay, well, I'm going to try to

1724
01:30:14,359 --> 01:30:16,960
get a draft expert on for the show next week. Okay,

1725
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:20,640
all right, man, your thoughts on Iowa State women's basketball

1726
01:30:20,640 --> 01:30:23,840
star Audie Crooks entering the transfer portal for his fine

1727
01:30:24,039 --> 01:30:27,680
for her excuse me, final year of collegiate eligibility. She

1728
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:31,000
will have offers, wouldn't she dropping like thirty a game

1729
01:30:31,039 --> 01:30:33,359
and stuff you? Twenty five point eight points per game?

1730
01:30:33,399 --> 01:30:33,760
Speaker 15: Wow?

1731
01:30:35,079 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 2: Sixty five percent from the floor, beast. Why'd you bring

1732
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:40,199
her up?

1733
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:41,159
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1734
01:30:41,159 --> 01:30:43,680
Speaker 2: It's just listed on the ESPN top headlines. I mean

1735
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:48,640
you play, Yeah, I've seen highlights. Yeah, she's physically imposing,

1736
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:53,079
she's bawling. Okay, well you want more on on Tiger Woods.

1737
01:30:54,359 --> 01:30:57,680
He's going to rehab overseas, getting in helping needs. Yeah.

1738
01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:01,720
The video release with the Share County Sheriff Deputy Tatiana

1739
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,439
Lebanar saying I do believe your normal faculties are impaired

1740
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,560
and you're under an unknown substance, So at this time

1741
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,880
you're under arrest for dui Woods saying he was looking

1742
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:11,880
at his phone and changing the radio station when his

1743
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:13,960
land rower clipped the back of a truck and rolled

1744
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:18,680
over onto its side on a residential road on Jupiter Island.

1745
01:31:21,279 --> 01:31:24,439
Police officers also on the video found pills in woods

1746
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:31,600
pocket after the crash. I hope this is the last

1747
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,840
time we bring this up. Honestly, he's I don't know.

1748
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:37,680
The next time he runs into trouble, he's gonna go

1749
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:41,880
to jail. And that's ridiculous because he has been given

1750
01:31:42,399 --> 01:31:45,680
so many second, third, fourth, fifth chance opportunities. I'm wishing

1751
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:48,920
him peace and healing. I hope this out of the

1752
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:53,039
country treatment center that he goes to, I hope it

1753
01:31:53,079 --> 01:31:55,359
works for him me too. Hey, let's brag on the

1754
01:31:55,359 --> 01:31:57,479
astro numbers you want to. Yes, we got some good

1755
01:31:57,479 --> 01:31:59,720
astro numbers to get to okay, and we'll do that

1756
01:32:00,119 --> 01:32:03,640
plus your phone calls. Remember today we asked those who

1757
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:05,439
being the ten o'clock hour to call in and talk

1758
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:07,279
about what you love so far about the Local nine.

1759
01:32:07,279 --> 01:32:09,119
We should do that again. If you love the Local nine,

1760
01:32:09,119 --> 01:32:11,880
which we believe that you do, what have you loved

1761
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:15,079
most so far? After this five and two start seven

1762
01:32:15,199 --> 01:32:19,720
one three two one two five seven ninety it is

1763
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:21,600
nice to talk about a Wedning baseball team. And that's

1764
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:23,840
what we've got in our city. Astros five and two

1765
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:27,560
day off today will take on the hated Sacramento A's

1766
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:30,880
for our three game set beginning tomorrow. I know they're

1767
01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:33,680
not really the Sacramento A's to just call themselves the A's.

1768
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:38,399
By the way, construction right along course for the start

1769
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:42,159
of the twenty twenty eighth season for the A's in

1770
01:32:42,239 --> 01:32:47,000
Las Vegas. I like saying Sacramento as that's where they play.

1771
01:32:47,279 --> 01:32:49,279
I know that's being weird. It's not being weird about it.

1772
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:52,359
You're trying to sell tickets and get people to come

1773
01:32:52,359 --> 01:32:53,920
out there, and you won't even name that's name, the

1774
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,279
name you're the town you're playing in. It's ridiculous. Yeah,

1775
01:32:57,319 --> 01:32:58,760
you know what I mean. I would say, I get it.

1776
01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:01,239
Darn looking for Darren looking fill nine thousand seats, I

1777
01:33:01,239 --> 01:33:06,439
think is what it is. Yeah, how's that going? So absurd?

1778
01:33:07,319 --> 01:33:09,439
Everybody we talked to a spring training hated that place.

1779
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:11,960
A couple of players you asked about the play on

1780
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:12,720
the road and stuff.

1781
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:13,159
Speaker 13: M hm.

1782
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 2: The ball I mean they're in a Triple A. They're

1783
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:19,439
in a Triple A ballpark with dimensions that are not

1784
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:22,319
far enough because the ball travels really far there. And

1785
01:33:22,359 --> 01:33:23,960
then on top of that, there in the not these

1786
01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:26,479
major league clubhouses, I mean, they're they're accustomed to going

1787
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:29,720
into borderline hotel rooms. And they're just not good as

1788
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:33,319
good as they used to be. Terrible. It is what

1789
01:33:33,359 --> 01:33:35,840
it is. But the Astros have their first three games

1790
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:39,199
sweep since September of last year against the Rangers five

1791
01:33:39,239 --> 01:33:42,680
game winning streak. I mean, just Mike Burrows looked better.

1792
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,439
I don't think he was outstandingbody looked better. Gave you

1793
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:49,000
eighty four pitches. Astro Bullpen's been good. Has been overworked

1794
01:33:49,079 --> 01:33:51,479
so far, especially when you've had a couple of seven

1795
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:54,520
inning performances the two days before that and blue Ball

1796
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:58,560
dominating blue Ball already a guest on the eight team

1797
01:33:58,600 --> 01:34:02,079
earlier this week, Yeah, as you predicted. Yeah did I

1798
01:34:02,159 --> 01:34:04,399
have that? Yeah? You said on Christian Rowe as long

1799
01:34:04,399 --> 01:34:05,720
as he was on the team. But he's been sent

1800
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:10,520
all right. Christian row by the way, fourth in the

1801
01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:13,920
current astrois Christian rankings. Soho, who how is your rankings going?

1802
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:14,279
Speaker 5: Right? Now?

1803
01:34:14,319 --> 01:34:16,720
Speaker 2: This is Are you going off a forty man here? Yes? Okay,

1804
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:20,600
go ahead, Walker Vasquez, Javier Roa, what do you think

1805
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:29,720
I can't argue? Now? Let's go into uh Christians in general? Okay,

1806
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:34,960
it's everyone. McCaffrey. Oh okay, I thought you were going

1807
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:38,159
you know, Correle two. Vey mccolors. Oh no, no, no,

1808
01:34:38,239 --> 01:34:40,960
let's go with Okay, Christian would probably not in the

1809
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:46,239
list anymore. Man, he I thought he. I have not

1810
01:34:46,319 --> 01:34:48,239
heard from him. I thought it was somewhere overseas or

1811
01:34:48,239 --> 01:34:53,359
something like that, that makes sense. No, I thought he was

1812
01:34:53,399 --> 01:34:55,840
going to China. But no, I guess he last played

1813
01:34:55,840 --> 01:35:00,720
with the Lakers last year. Christian just fight with people

1814
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,279
on Twitter calling them casuals. Yeah, it's gotta be. McCaffrey's

1815
01:35:03,279 --> 01:35:05,520
got to be one right over any of our Christians.

1816
01:35:08,319 --> 01:35:12,760
Walker's got a case, McCaffrey, I guess, Yeah, McCaffrey one

1817
01:35:13,279 --> 01:35:16,800
Walker too. Is there any other Christians we're forgetting about?

1818
01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:20,439
Feels like it you wanta go look it up? Braun Brown?

1819
01:35:24,119 --> 01:35:27,319
Oh Christian uh with the Nuggets? Nuggets? Yeah, that's b

1820
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:29,359
r a u n by the way, Yeah, that's why

1821
01:35:29,359 --> 01:35:31,479
I said, Braun, But it's Brown. It's right. That's not

1822
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:33,119
a bad call on your part. All right, let me

1823
01:35:33,119 --> 01:35:37,720
look at Let me try to Christian Brown or Christian Walker.

1824
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:40,399
That's a good one. Man. I never thought I would

1825
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:43,960
compare a Denver Nuggets an astro got a ton in baseball? Well,

1826
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:51,760
most of the aren't the astros Yelwich. That's on the court. Arroyo,

1827
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:55,000
all right, that's yeah. I was gonna say what I

1828
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,760
think we're losing the audience. I'm losing my own audience here.

1829
01:35:57,840 --> 01:36:01,279
I'm losing myself. Let's get to the guys we actually

1830
01:36:01,279 --> 01:36:03,399
do care about Jordan Alvarez two for three, two runs,

1831
01:36:03,399 --> 01:36:05,720
a double hit by pitch his ops against the Red

1832
01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:09,640
Sox thirteen oh five, Carlo's Korea home run, first of

1833
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:12,479
the year, three run jack, first home run at dyke

1834
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:15,359
In Parks, and is being traded from the Minnesota Twins.

1835
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:20,239
Had it been that long? Wow? It was Krea number

1836
01:36:20,239 --> 01:36:29,560
home run number one. Forty are called Christian Korea. How

1837
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:35,920
would you describe Carlos Korea's career? Can you even do it? Now?

1838
01:36:36,279 --> 01:36:39,479
Was he the number one prospect in baseball? Wasn't he

1839
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,920
one dash one? He was a one dash one pick?

1840
01:36:42,039 --> 01:36:44,960
But what is the number one prospect in baseball? I

1841
01:36:45,039 --> 01:36:48,000
don't wasn't there, wasn't Tyter. Wasn't Brian Buxton in that

1842
01:36:48,039 --> 01:36:50,399
group too? Like one dash one started in that same range.

1843
01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:53,319
People wanted them to take Buxton, they didn't, And I

1844
01:36:53,359 --> 01:36:56,239
mean they've both been hurting their careers. Both have been

1845
01:36:56,359 --> 01:36:58,880
very good, both way more than than Korea. Both have

1846
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:02,680
been very hurt in their careers. He's not a Hall

1847
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:07,359
of Famer platinum glover. Let me pull. I'm wondering where

1848
01:37:07,359 --> 01:37:11,239
he was. I can find the prospect history. But okay,

1849
01:37:11,239 --> 01:37:15,079
forging about the prospect just just as a major leaguer.

1850
01:37:15,359 --> 01:37:18,920
But I got myself curious. I know. I'm sorry. Impactful hits,

1851
01:37:20,079 --> 01:37:25,399
parts of World Championship teams h No. One. Actually he

1852
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:28,920
got as high as number three prospect in Baseball or

1853
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:32,840
number four on Baseball America. So top five prospect, elite

1854
01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:35,760
level shortstop made the transition to third base as a

1855
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:38,840
lot of shortstops tend to do. Rookie of the Year,

1856
01:37:40,039 --> 01:37:45,199
no MVP, three time All Star, gold Glove and a

1857
01:37:45,199 --> 01:37:50,359
Platinum Glove. I think no Is one gold glove was

1858
01:37:50,359 --> 01:37:54,479
a platinum glove. So okay, So I'm going to ask

1859
01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:56,960
you the question I asked you sixty seconds ago. Describe

1860
01:37:56,960 --> 01:38:04,800
his career all of very good, really really solid, not

1861
01:38:05,079 --> 01:38:09,680
Jersey retirement worthy. We'll be in the Astros Hall of Fame.

1862
01:38:10,319 --> 01:38:13,239
Book got written on him. Also, he's got eight eleven

1863
01:38:13,279 --> 01:38:15,159
ops right now, and he's playing very well in the field,

1864
01:38:15,239 --> 01:38:19,479
hitting two ninety six. That's early, very early, yeah, right, yeah,

1865
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:21,560
I mean those are around his his career numbers. He's

1866
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:25,159
career eight sixteen ops, two hundred home runs, two hundred

1867
01:38:25,159 --> 01:38:29,039
and one all of very good. You're a three time

1868
01:38:29,079 --> 01:38:31,239
All Star on a Platinum Glover and a Rookie of

1869
01:38:31,279 --> 01:38:35,560
the Year. Good. That's really good. But he's But I

1870
01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:39,239
would have thought we first started watching that he was

1871
01:38:39,319 --> 01:38:41,359
headed for a Hall of Fame career. Yeah, in twelve years.

1872
01:38:41,399 --> 01:38:43,399
If you'd ask me to predict after he won Rookie

1873
01:38:43,399 --> 01:38:45,079
of the Year twelve years, I would have said, like

1874
01:38:45,159 --> 01:38:48,199
three Gold Gloves and like seven eight All Star or

1875
01:38:48,239 --> 01:38:52,359
one batting Championship and amp a big silver slugger. Yeah,

1876
01:38:52,399 --> 01:38:54,600
maybe not a batting champ, but at least like a

1877
01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:56,920
He's never hit more than twenty six home runs in

1878
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:58,960
a season. I would have thought he would have multiple

1879
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:01,359
thirty home run seasons. I because he had twenty two

1880
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:03,600
his first year in ninety nine games. I think the

1881
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:07,840
biggest detriment for his lack of that chase towards the

1882
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:11,840
Hall of Fame is injuries. Injuries which I think slowed him.

1883
01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:15,000
I mean, but as far as like a battler, A leader,

1884
01:39:15,279 --> 01:39:22,439
like the attitude, all that stuff he's been has been perfect. Oh,

1885
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:25,560
I'm a he born to play baseball, born to play baseball,

1886
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:28,640
knew at a very young age he needed to not

1887
01:39:28,680 --> 01:39:31,039
only learn how to play baseball, but get schooling. Needed

1888
01:39:31,199 --> 01:39:33,000
needed to learn how to speak English to make sure

1889
01:39:33,039 --> 01:39:36,359
that he knew he was gonna be media savvy, which

1890
01:39:36,359 --> 01:39:41,119
he is. It's like mentoring Bryce Matthews who heard that story, like,

1891
01:39:41,279 --> 01:39:43,279
oh you you're you're not eating good. You don't want

1892
01:39:43,279 --> 01:39:44,800
to be great, like he's he's just a lead. And

1893
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:46,640
I'm telling you right now. And I want to ask

1894
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:48,600
Carlos this if when we get him on the show,

1895
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:52,600
hopefully at some point. I wonder what those Mountain visits

1896
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:54,800
are like, does he you know, because they all speak

1897
01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:58,319
underneath their gloves, right, they cover their mouths up. Is

1898
01:39:58,359 --> 01:40:01,800
he a here's the city situation, here's what's presenting himself,

1899
01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:04,479
or is he going in there saying all right you

1900
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:07,239
blankie blank, he's do this blank blank. You know, he's

1901
01:40:07,239 --> 01:40:11,880
a more motivational speaker than anything else. And frankly, when

1902
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,439
when the Scandal of seventeen got into play, he took

1903
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:17,960
up for a lot of his teammates that was great.

1904
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:21,000
You don't know the facts. You gotta shut the bleep up.

1905
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:26,840
I might be we have that clip working well, I've

1906
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:29,600
had to restart it three times, so we'll see you

1907
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:32,600
talk all right. All I'm saying is I'm really I'm

1908
01:40:32,600 --> 01:40:36,640
glad he's back. It's kind of nice to have him back. Yeah,

1909
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:40,199
I love it, especially he's hitting three run bombs of Garrettkoshit.

1910
01:40:40,319 --> 01:40:41,880
It was a difference in the game and him. To me,

1911
01:40:42,239 --> 01:40:44,399
he's not he's not gonna be your best player. But

1912
01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:46,439
if he's your third or fourth best hitter, I think

1913
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:49,520
you're in a really good spot. And the and the

1914
01:40:49,560 --> 01:41:01,119
transition from that was a great line. Cody Bellinger codes

1915
01:41:01,279 --> 01:41:03,159
it was so yeah. By the way, is Cody and

1916
01:41:03,199 --> 01:41:04,279
a douche name? Hall of Fame?

1917
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:05,680
Speaker 3: Hmm?

1918
01:41:06,199 --> 01:41:07,840
Speaker 2: Now let me give you the two names we've already

1919
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:11,359
thrown in there. You've thrown Jacks and jas Biggers hate

1920
01:41:11,359 --> 01:41:15,520
you now, Jackson, Brody Brody. Brody's a douche name, Okay?

1921
01:41:16,119 --> 01:41:21,159
Is Cody a douchey name? Brody and Cody first glimpse,

1922
01:41:21,199 --> 01:41:23,920
I say, yes, Well, you gotta come at Cody Campbell

1923
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:26,279
like that. I'm not coming By the way, he's he's

1924
01:41:26,319 --> 01:41:28,159
still trying to go score shirt on Brett or Mark

1925
01:41:28,199 --> 01:41:30,159
still is he's still doing it? What's he saying?

1926
01:41:30,199 --> 01:41:30,399
Speaker 6: Now?

1927
01:41:31,119 --> 01:41:33,840
Speaker 2: He's saying, your mark serves the President's which sort of

1928
01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:37,520
serves them the board they're gonna about to throw a hands.

1929
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:41,439
Somebody said, this is like ww E promos they're cutting.

1930
01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:44,119
Do you think they're trying to build up? What do

1931
01:41:44,159 --> 01:41:46,239
you think about that? I mean little faux stuff or

1932
01:41:46,279 --> 01:41:48,640
do you think me an actor is just legit?

1933
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:48,920
Speaker 14: Man?

1934
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:52,439
Speaker 2: How much of this is these guys playing it up?

1935
01:41:53,159 --> 01:41:55,359
Those who don't know Cody Campbell is criticizing the Big

1936
01:41:55,359 --> 01:41:58,039
Twelve Conference because they're thinking about moving Texas Tech Houston

1937
01:41:58,079 --> 01:42:00,239
game to a Friday night, where Cody Campbe's it's like

1938
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,039

Oh get him? Oh no, get him Cody. Now, if

1941
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:13,000
you didn't hear the story the other day, I said

1942
01:42:13,039 --> 01:42:18,079
that Jacks was a douchey name, and our friend Pete

1943
01:42:18,079 --> 01:42:21,600
Mayok said, hey, my stepson's name is Jax. He thinks

1944
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:29,399
it's hysterical. Yes, now, look, oh lord, I'm just gonna

01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:33,319
to call people out, No, I'm just saying it's fun.

1947
01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:35,760
I just asked. It's a douche people then with the

1948
01:42:35,800 --> 01:42:45,680
name Dave or a douchey, it's that they didn't name themselves. Okay, Cody,

1949
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:48,319
before you join the show, I want to apologize. I

1950
01:42:48,319 --> 01:42:51,520
should not speak in such broad brushes. Cody online one

1951
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:53,840

1954
01:43:00,359 --> 01:43:06,439
douche named twelve thirty one Sports Talk seven eight? Where

1955
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:08,279

1956
01:43:08,319 --> 01:43:12,439
What happened? It is dropped? You still here from me?

1957
01:43:13,159 --> 01:43:13,319
Speaker 3: Oh?

1958
01:43:13,319 --> 01:43:15,600
Speaker 2: There he is? Okay, this is different radio station. All right,

1959
01:43:16,079 --> 01:43:20,000
I'm gonna I'm gonna apologize. I'm gonna take my loss.

1960
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:26,359
He well, why did this just go to Sonny? That's Cody,

1961
01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:33,079
my friend, my colleague, my my bestie. Hi, Cody, get him,

1962
01:43:33,359 --> 01:43:35,800
get him, Cody, don't hold back. Shut up. Cody knows.

1963
01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:40,760
I was just teasing, right Cody. Oh yeah, it's all good. Oh,

1964
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:46,039
thank god? And Cody. Cody Bellinger is a Douce. So see,

1965
01:43:46,239 --> 01:43:49,039
I knew it wasn't wrong. Not all Cody's are built equal.

1966
01:43:49,079 --> 01:43:53,000
You're the cool Cody. What else you got today? No,

1967
01:43:53,159 --> 01:43:55,680
I was kind of I was gonna call anyways with

1968
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:57,840
the astro was talking about going to a six man rotation,

1969
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:00,000
and you're seeing more of these bullpen games and stuff.

1970
01:44:01,399 --> 01:44:03,439
Is this just where baseball is going to go in

1971
01:44:03,479 --> 01:44:06,760
the future. You know, I grew up watching Nolan Ryan

1972
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:07,880
start a game and finish it.

1973
01:44:08,079 --> 01:44:11,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, now we're seeing pitcher's going four or five innings.

1974
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:14,640
Speaker 2: The reality is you're spending more money Cody on starting pitching,

1975
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:16,760
and you want to make sure they are with you longer.

1976
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:21,439
Midderallievers generally not a dime a dozen, but they don't

1977
01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:25,000
worry about their long term arms as compared to starters,

1978
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:28,000
and so they would rather If they're going to pay money,

1979
01:44:28,039 --> 01:44:29,439
they're going to want to make sure their guys are

1980
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:31,359
ready to go. And if if you save them for

1981
01:44:31,479 --> 01:44:34,039
one less start over a six day stretch and not

1982
01:44:34,119 --> 01:44:36,479
wear and tear them, especially early in this season, Major

1983
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,840
League Baseball team teams will take their chances on it,

1984
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:41,359
so you can move up, up and down mid or relievers.

1985
01:44:41,399 --> 01:44:44,840
This is harder to do so with starting pitching. Yeah,

1986
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:49,239
I get it. Yeah, thanks for taking the call, go Astros,

1987
01:44:49,319 --> 01:44:51,319
go Astros, Thanks Cody for the phone call. Thanks Cody,

1988
01:44:51,399 --> 01:44:54,319
a wonderful name and a wonderful gentleman of the show. Yeah,

1989
01:44:54,319 --> 01:44:57,039
the day is Nolan Ryan, er are gone. That's always

1990
01:44:57,039 --> 01:44:59,279
the first name everybody brings up, like I remember what

1991
01:44:59,319 --> 01:45:02,119
Nolan Ryan is. They don't forget Bob Gibson's you're throwing

1992
01:45:02,119 --> 01:45:03,880
one hundred when he was forty. No one. Mine is

1993
01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:08,079
a freaking nature, Okay, Nolan Ryan is an absolute freak,

1994
01:45:08,119 --> 01:45:11,680
an exception to most rules first of all, and second

1995
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:13,760
of all, as you laid out, I mean just a

1996
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,479
different error, different era, a different age. And money has

1997
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:18,039
a lot to do with it. Yeah, I mean, you

1998
01:45:18,079 --> 01:45:20,279
don't pay Mineral or Levers nineteen million dollars a year

1999
01:45:20,319 --> 01:45:22,239
to get out in a six inning. You pay nineteen

2000
01:45:22,239 --> 01:45:24,800
million dollars t million dollars for starting pitching. And you

2001
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:26,560
want to make sure those guys are upright and their

2002
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:29,520
arms are good. And because if guys, I mean think

2003
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:31,319
about it, if you if any of those starters go

2004
01:45:31,399 --> 01:45:34,119
through Tommy John's or forum injuries, that they're not just

2005
01:45:34,239 --> 01:45:37,800
quick fifteen day fixes. They're usually six months to a

2006
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:40,359
year before they get fixed. Josh Hader's making nineteen million

2007
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:43,199
hopefully comes back, so okay, but he's you're not all well.

2008
01:45:43,199 --> 01:45:46,680
I mean, closers make decent money. Yeah, but you're Brian King.

2009
01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:48,239
I mean, I don't think I mean, Brian King's gonna

2010
01:45:48,239 --> 01:45:49,720
make a nice living. But don't get me wrong, But

2011
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:51,760
it's just a different age where everybody's throwing as hard

2012
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:53,960
as they can, spinning the balls as far hard as

2013
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:58,600
they can as well. Yeah, yeah, so I don't now

2014
01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,119
six man sounds good, but it also gives you an

2015
01:46:01,199 --> 01:46:04,560
armless of the bullpen, which then then you have to balance.

2016
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:06,239
Do you let your starters stay out there a little

2017
01:46:06,239 --> 01:46:09,119
bit longer because you don't have as many reinforcements and

2018
01:46:09,279 --> 01:46:11,479
you just have to play it by ear case by

2019
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:13,880
case basis. Yeah, but yeah, it feels like to me,

2020
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:15,760
the astros will go in and out of this, they'll

2021
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:18,720
back guys off, and that's what the battle will be

2022
01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:21,079
between I don't know, it's between Lance and Spencer Eric.

2023
01:46:21,119 --> 01:46:23,680
I mean, what if Eric get he throws six innings

2024
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:27,359
a one run ball? You know, again, it's so early

2025
01:46:27,439 --> 01:46:31,279
that I mean We've only had what two guys go

2026
01:46:31,319 --> 01:46:35,039
through the rotation twice. McCarter's only pitch once, EMI is

2027
01:46:35,079 --> 01:46:37,520
only pitched once, Christian Hobby is only pitch one. We

2028
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:39,640
have no sample size on what their twenty twenty six

2029
01:46:39,720 --> 01:46:41,079
is going to look like. Yeah, mc coulors is out

2030
01:46:41,079 --> 01:46:47,079
of options. I don't I would imagine Burrows is not.

2031
01:46:47,159 --> 01:46:49,800
But you're not sending him down. No, No, you might

2032
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:52,039
could be. I mean, if he doesn't pitch well and

2033
01:46:52,079 --> 01:46:53,880
he needs to just go down for a couple of starts,

2034
01:46:54,079 --> 01:46:57,680
that wouldn't be the craziest thing, I don't think. But

2035
01:46:57,720 --> 01:46:59,279
hopefully he just turns it around and you have one

2036
01:46:59,279 --> 01:47:03,199
of them good problems. Oh here the whole season. You

2037
01:47:03,199 --> 01:47:05,199
think a Scott Boris client who makes that kind of money,

2038
01:47:05,199 --> 01:47:06,640
you got that kind of publicity, is going to be said.

2039
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:08,039
So if he goes out two more times and he's

2040
01:47:08,039 --> 01:47:11,960
getting completely shelled and Raghetty's pitching, well, it'd be a bullpen.

2041
01:47:13,279 --> 01:47:17,880
There's no way a Scott Boris client's being sent down, Okay,

2042
01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:20,560
I mean I could see it. I don't know why.

2043
01:47:21,119 --> 01:47:25,600
If he's struggling and rag Getty's pitching, well, I'm not

2044
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:27,960
saying that's gonna happen. No, I don't think the chances

2045
01:47:28,039 --> 01:47:31,479
that are good either. But I know I didn't Roki

2046
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:34,720
Sasaki get sent down. Who I don't know who Rookiy

2047
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:41,640
Sasaki is. It's the Dodgers pitcher. I'm sure he's wonderful. Okay,

2048
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:47,359
boris client. I don't know who his agents are. Uh Wasserman.

2049
01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:49,800
Oh that's another big one too, that's another big group.

2050
01:47:52,640 --> 01:47:54,439
I think he got sent down last year. Not to go,

2051
01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:56,560
not to go, look this up. No, the only way

2052
01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:58,199
I could ever see Emi getting sent down is if

2053
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:01,039
there's something with an you know, injury for similar rehab

2054
01:48:01,039 --> 01:48:05,920
start or something, and look, this is this is we

2055
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:09,239
don't this is not even a conversation at this point. You,

2056
01:48:09,359 --> 01:48:11,239
I mean, think about this. If anybody's gonna move up

2057
01:48:11,239 --> 01:48:14,159
and down, it's probably gonna be arroganty because he's got options.

2058
01:48:15,199 --> 01:48:17,760
Because once you use a player, you don't have analyst,

2059
01:48:17,840 --> 01:48:19,239
but you've got a lot of options. You can send

2060
01:48:19,279 --> 01:48:21,840
them up up and down. It's got has got options,

2061
01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:26,800
and Laspa Colors Junior does not. So look what a

2062
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:29,600
nice problem to have. I'll say this, you want to

2063
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:33,760
go get a slugging outfit or the deadline, and you

2064
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:37,359
have a surplus in your starting rotation with blue ball

2065
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:41,840
and why sitting there back there? Ooh, I feel like

2066
01:48:42,359 --> 01:48:45,880
I could go gut feeling here right now. Jason Alexander

2067
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:48,359
waiting in the wings. By the way, I think the

2068
01:48:48,399 --> 01:48:52,079
Cowboys are four and one? What's our win total? Ninety

2069
01:48:52,079 --> 01:48:54,359
six one and forty four game schedule? Whatever? Now I

2070
01:48:54,399 --> 01:48:58,319
just said they're gonna win the PCL. Now, what would

2071
01:48:58,359 --> 01:49:00,760
the parade be like in sugar Land? If you want

2072
01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:03,000
a PCL, you should go by the by the fountains

2073
01:49:03,039 --> 01:49:04,960
and then the town center. You started, You start at

2074
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:09,000
the sugar mill. You go down a consolation field. What

2075
01:49:09,079 --> 01:49:10,920
state is the sugar mill in? I wish I know?

2076
01:49:11,359 --> 01:49:15,079
I wish I knew sugar Land better. You're the first

2077
01:49:15,119 --> 01:49:18,840
person ever say that because I can. It's fine, all right?

2078
01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:20,600
So if you like sugar Land, if you live in

2079
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:22,439
sugar Land right now and listen to the show, what's

2080
01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:23,239
the parade route?

2081
01:49:23,359 --> 01:49:23,479
Speaker 9: Uh?

2082
01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:25,239
Speaker 2: You go to buy the In and Out Burger? Because

2083
01:49:25,279 --> 01:49:27,560
tell me, I'll give you the King King went a team.

2084
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:29,199
You go to the fountains, then you go to the

2085
01:49:29,239 --> 01:49:30,520
In and Out Burger, and then you go to the

2086
01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:33,439
Town Center and then you party at that uh that

2087
01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:36,840
Marriott pool. It's nice. That Mary is nice. Yeah, and

2088
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:38,520
you can get one of those double big port chops

2089
01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:42,039
over there at Perry's after too, exactly. We used to

2090
01:49:42,039 --> 01:49:43,840
do when there are sports, probably to do shows over

2091
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:49,319
there and way back in the day. Yes, Stadia, that's it,

2092
01:49:49,760 --> 01:49:53,239
good poll by you remember if you're not. Yeah, they're

2093
01:49:53,279 --> 01:49:58,359
long gone though, so they stopped advertising. They stopped advertising.

2094
01:49:58,399 --> 01:50:01,039
That's what happens and own a business. They went out

2095
01:50:01,039 --> 01:50:02,840
of Business's a fact. That's why Big City Wings is

2096

2118
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:22,520
I'm living in reality, Kenn. I live in a mystical

2119
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:24,920
world where Kevin Durant defies age like he's done for

2120
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:29,239
ninety percent of the season. Nine percent of the season. Actually,

2121
01:51:31,199 --> 01:51:32,880
all right, by the way, we got Kyle's gonna join us.

2122
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:35,000
Give us the parade route through sugar Land. Okay, great

2123
01:51:36,399 --> 01:51:38,840
sugar Lank Chamber of Commerce is weighing in. It does

2124
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:41,039
It does end to the Marriott where the pool is, right,

2125
01:51:41,279 --> 01:51:44,039
I guess, so you gotta go to the golf courses.

2126
01:51:44,359 --> 01:51:46,720
Uh huh. Yeah, Let's let's see what Kyle's gonna help

2127
01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:49,680
us out. Kyle, you're in charge of the Sugarland Space

2128
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:51,439
Cowboys parade route. How's that gonna go?

2129
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:53,760
Speaker 1: Matt?

2130
01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:57,000
Speaker 13: I think you start a you start a Constellation Field.

2131
01:51:56,760 --> 01:52:00,039
Speaker 11: Okay, And there's a back road that wraps.

2132
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:04,159
Speaker 13: Around right to the h the old sugar factory, and

2133
01:52:04,199 --> 01:52:07,640
then you're gonna take Highway ninety right there back to

2134
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:11,600
Highway six and you just take that all the way

2135
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:12,560
to the town center.

2136
01:52:13,399 --> 01:52:15,640
Speaker 2: Are we stopping by the airport or no. There's not

2137
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:18,479
enough people to be around this whole last route. And

2138
01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:21,479
what's the population of sugar Land. I think we need

2139
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:22,600
a shorter round, Kyle.

2140
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:27,119
Speaker 13: I think sugar Land's got one hundred thousand.

2141
01:52:27,119 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 2: I'm saying it's every single one of them going to

2142
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:30,720
be at this parade round. You cancel mile, if you

2143
01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:32,920
cancel school for the day, they will you need every

2144
01:52:32,920 --> 01:52:35,520
single one, plus the in and out employees at this route.

2145
01:52:36,199 --> 01:52:38,199
By the way, you cannot have you cannot have in

2146
01:52:38,279 --> 01:52:39,920
and out route. There's a parade there anyway with cars

2147
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:41,720
waiting to get for food. I have not been in

2148
01:52:41,800 --> 01:52:43,680
Constellation Field. I have been by there, though.

2149
01:52:45,399 --> 01:52:48,119
Speaker 13: Yeah, well there's at least three thousand people that go

2150
01:52:48,239 --> 01:52:50,119
every day, so that'll that'll fill their out.

2151
01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:52,520
Speaker 2: I mean we going to line them up single file.

2152
01:52:55,319 --> 01:52:58,399
Speaker 13: Everyone's spaced out every stop light at Highway six.

2153
01:52:58,479 --> 01:53:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, put you off like red Rover line. You're not

2154
01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:06,960
invited a parade. You know, you're just poop pooing it.

2155
01:53:07,039 --> 01:53:10,119
I'm not poo pooing it. You're trying. We gotta get competed.

2156
01:53:10,239 --> 01:53:12,600
You guys just went a route longer than the Astros

2157
01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:16,800
parade route. Okay, you think sugar Land's getting more people

2158
01:53:16,840 --> 01:53:19,439
than the Houston Astros for World Series? If you cancel

2159
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:21,840
four pen Id schools forer day, every kid their mother

2160
01:53:21,840 --> 01:53:24,680
would be out there. It was out of the Astros parade.

2161
01:53:25,159 --> 01:53:27,680
Let's be realistic. Sugar Land's a big suburb. But come

2162
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:31,560
on now, all right, Charlan, I got your back, sugar Land.

2163
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:34,960
I'm living in reality. Love you, sugar Land. You've not

2164
01:53:35,039 --> 01:53:37,479
been no game in Constellation Field. I don't know. I

2165
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:39,119
used to go. I used to go for Skiers games

2166
01:53:39,159 --> 01:53:41,119
way back in the day. Okay, but I have not

2167
01:53:41,159 --> 01:53:43,000

2168
01:53:43,079 --> 01:53:47,479
runs over the No? That was somebody else. I don't

2169
01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:49,920
even think you reached the warning track. So it was

2170
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:52,159
a good run. It was a good run. Twelve forty

2179
01:54:18,119 --> 01:54:24,520
five on Sports Talk seven ninety. For about five years

2180
01:54:24,800 --> 01:54:27,479
on this radio show, people would call up. It would say, hey,

2181
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:29,720
the astros need pitching help, and we would say, man,

2182
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:32,319
you're right, they need an arm they need especially last

2183
01:54:32,399 --> 01:54:35,399
year with all the different injuries. Well there was a

2184
01:54:35,479 --> 01:54:37,479
name that was brought up. What about every twenty percent

2185
01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:41,680
of the time, what's Trevor Bauer doing these days? Right now?

2186
01:54:41,720 --> 01:54:43,680

And you're like, Matt, why are you bringing up Trevor

2189
01:54:48,239 --> 01:54:50,199
Bauer and the reason why I'm bringing up Trevor Bauer

2190
01:54:50,279 --> 01:54:53,479
is because he is now going to be playing quote

2191
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:58,119
unquote professional baseball. He has signed with the Long Island

2192
01:54:58,199 --> 01:55:01,560
Ducks of the Atlantic League, and he's scheduled to pitch

2193
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:05,359
opening night April the twenty first for that team. Now

2194
01:55:05,399 --> 01:55:07,760
I also have I have the Trevor Bauer thing. I

2195
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:12,840

2238
01:56:56,159 --> 01:56:58,239
Bauer would have to do. I mean, like you know,

2239

when a picture goes through, he's got to work up

2240
01:57:01,439 --> 01:57:04,760
the innings and everything. Just wondering do you know if

2241
01:57:04,760 --> 01:57:07,039

you have on the Astros?

2256
01:57:42,239 --> 01:57:42,279
Speaker 3: No?

2257
01:57:42,399 --> 01:57:44,800
Speaker 6: I don't have any other breaking news. I just heard

2258
01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:50,079
today the Astros are gonna sign Trevor Bauer. This that

2259
01:57:50,239 --> 01:57:50,800
what I heard.

2260
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:52,720
Speaker 2: Okay, well, then you're hearing that information.

2261
01:57:55,199 --> 01:57:59,800
Speaker 15: I think it's he knew how close it was to that.

2262
01:58:00,399 --> 01:58:03,199
Speaker 2: You'd say, well, then you think if you're not going

2263
01:58:03,239 --> 01:58:05,039
to tell me how close it is that I'm not

2264
01:58:05,079 --> 01:58:06,600
going to believe you. So how about that?

2265
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:11,479
Speaker 15: Well, I understand that, but I'm m The Astros are

2266
01:58:11,479 --> 01:58:12,640
signing Bauer.

2267
01:58:12,960 --> 01:58:18,720
Speaker 2: Okay, it's okay, Thank you so much, appreciate the information

2268
01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:20,439
you've given me. Five minutes of my life will never

2269
01:58:20,479 --> 01:58:22,920
get back, and I apologize for the three minutes of

2270
01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:26,039
you to listen to that. I thought it was pretty good.

2271
01:58:26,159 --> 01:58:28,840
I'm going to tell you an idiot, right it was.

2272
01:58:28,920 --> 01:58:31,520
It was pretty much on targets. I'm just going to

2273
01:58:31,560 --> 01:58:34,199
tell you all something. We are highly compensated here at

2274
01:58:34,199 --> 01:58:37,000
the radio station for reasons just like that right there.

2275
01:58:38,039 --> 01:58:40,119
That's funny. So we were taking calls like that all

2276
01:58:40,159 --> 01:58:42,079
the time for a long period time. Forgot about that

2277
01:58:42,119 --> 01:58:44,039
guy who was like, it's a done deal. So he

2278
01:58:44,119 --> 01:58:48,079
is playing for the Long Island Ducks. He is also

2279
01:58:48,199 --> 01:58:50,960
going to be miked up for all games and practices.

2280
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:56,680
So he for his YouTube channel for yeah, for basically content.

2281
01:58:57,239 --> 01:58:58,800
So it's you know what he is. He's a bit.

2282
01:58:59,199 --> 01:59:01,920
He's not a he's a bit. No man, he's gonna

2283
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:03,920
be He should be signed. He's been blackballed. He's the

2284
01:59:03,920 --> 01:59:10,439
greatest pitcher of all time and the Astro should sign him.

2285
01:59:10,479 --> 01:59:12,760
He was the Mexican Baseball League's Pitcher of the Year

2286
01:59:12,760 --> 01:59:17,520
in twenty twenty four. You know that you boys like Mexico.

2287
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:26,119
That's nice. Good for him. Trevor Bauer, a former Cy

2288
01:59:26,159 --> 01:59:34,439
Young winner. This is his fifteenth quote unquote professional season. Hmm, yeah,

2289
01:59:34,520 --> 01:59:37,000
was he he was playing in Japan. I'm trying to

2290
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:40,399
find his other stuff. Mexico Japan, released by the Dodgers

2291
01:59:40,439 --> 01:59:46,800
in twenty twenty three. Pitch in Japan last season. Oh,

2292
01:59:46,840 --> 01:59:48,680
he had some Well he played with two different teams.

2293
01:59:48,680 --> 01:59:50,199
You know, it does scare me. And now I'm gonna

2294
01:59:50,199 --> 01:59:54,079
be honest for just a second. Sometimes people and you

2295
01:59:54,159 --> 01:59:56,039
don't know who's telling the truth and who is not.

2296
01:59:56,159 --> 01:59:59,000
But sometimes people will have people that will have people

2297
01:59:59,439 --> 02:00:01,680
that will call into postgame radio show and say, hey,

2298
02:00:01,800 --> 02:00:06,479
I know something's going to happen, and it'd be easy

2299
02:00:06,520 --> 02:00:08,920
for me to dismiss it. But sometimes those things new drop.

2300
02:00:09,159 --> 02:00:11,840
Sometimes they're right. But in the case of signing Trevor Bouart,

2301
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:13,760
never seemed like it was It was never felt like

2302
02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:16,279
it was right. There was no whispers. There was nobody

2303
02:00:16,279 --> 02:00:18,680
that I thought was even close to being credible in

2304
02:00:18,720 --> 02:00:20,920
the organization and said hey, Matt, there may be something

2305
02:00:20,960 --> 02:00:26,039
to this. It was just ridiculous. Yeah, and if it

2306
02:00:26,079 --> 02:00:28,359
was a troll case or whatever. But it's funny because

2307
02:00:28,359 --> 02:00:31,479
sometimes and this is this is human nature. Sometimes when

2308
02:00:31,520 --> 02:00:34,439
we find something out, we want to tell somebody because

2309
02:00:34,479 --> 02:00:38,600
the person that told us is really cool and does

2310
02:00:38,600 --> 02:00:41,800
that makes sense to you? Yeah, I have it on

2311
02:00:41,840 --> 02:00:43,920
good authority. Well that you know. Maybe it's because it's

2312
02:00:43,920 --> 02:00:45,840
your boss that told you this. Maybe it's because of

2313
02:00:46,399 --> 02:00:48,000
Let's say you have a friend of a friend of

2314
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:51,399
a friend who's a celebrity saying, you know, guess what

2315
02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:53,359
Kevin Costra is going to be in town next week.

2316
02:00:53,840 --> 02:00:56,159
You wanted to you like to spill tea like that.

2317
02:00:57,479 --> 02:01:00,439
I've had people that are friends of friends of friends

2318
02:01:00,479 --> 02:01:02,760
that have called shows that have said, hey, don't be

2319
02:01:02,800 --> 02:01:05,319
surprised at this guy signed. So you sometimes have to

2320
02:01:05,319 --> 02:01:06,840
take it with a grain of salt, and sometimes you

2321
02:01:06,840 --> 02:01:08,680
have to completely dismissed it. Sometimes you say, man, this

2322
02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:10,880
sounds like a guy that's halfway credible. You don't know,

2323
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:14,960
And that's the that's the positive. That's the thing that

2324
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:16,800
anonyminated to do. You can just throw anything you want

2325
02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:19,880
out there, just like social media too. Well, we do

2326
02:01:19,960 --> 02:01:23,159
have the Trevor Bauer PSA, I guess that we may

2327
02:01:23,239 --> 02:01:28,640
play this hour. There are thirty teams in Major League Baseball.

2328
02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:32,000
None of them have called about the services of Trevor

2329
02:01:32,039 --> 02:01:34,920
Bauer for a reason. The reason is he's just a

2330
02:01:34,960 --> 02:01:41,079
bad guy. His spin rates dipped significantly when Spidertack was

2331
02:01:41,119 --> 02:01:44,479
cracked down upon. He was under investigation in twenty twenty one.

2332
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:47,800
A separate woman in Ohio sided temporary order of protection

2333
02:01:47,880 --> 02:01:50,680
in twenty twenty A third woman accused Bauer of sexual

2334
02:01:50,720 --> 02:01:54,680
assault in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three. There

2335
02:01:54,680 --> 02:01:57,960
are thirty teams that can get his services, and all

2336
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:02,439
have declined to do so so far. He crushed the

2337
02:02:02,479 --> 02:02:05,439
Astros when he was in the big leagues. He has

2338
02:02:05,479 --> 02:02:09,039
got a terrible reputation for being a bad teammate. He

2339
02:02:09,079 --> 02:02:12,800
goes in that Astro's clubhouse who be hated immediately. No

2340
02:02:12,840 --> 02:02:15,840
one will like him, no one respects him. You have

2341
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:20,119
to have a good clubhouse culture for every single day

2342
02:02:20,119 --> 02:02:22,840
of the baseball season. Trevor Bauer does not bring it.

2343
02:02:23,039 --> 02:02:25,800
Trevor Bauer will not be in the Astros clubhouse. Yes,

2344
02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:29,800
my name is ros Vireal, and Trevor Bauer will never

2345
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:33,680
be a Houston astro. My name is Matt Thomas. And

2346
02:02:33,760 --> 02:02:36,800
what Ross said, I say as well, Trevor Bauer never

2347
02:02:36,840 --> 02:02:40,279
an astro. That would well, we should have said, is

2348
02:02:40,359 --> 02:02:42,520
I believe Trevor Bauer will be a Long Island duck.

2349
02:02:43,520 --> 02:02:45,199
We could have gone with that. I would have bought that.

2350
02:02:46,039 --> 02:02:48,359
Oh yeah, something gimmicky for between that for the rest

2351
02:02:48,399 --> 02:02:54,359
of his career. Absolutely, guy had multiple screws loose beyond

2352
02:02:54,399 --> 02:02:59,119
whatever was alleged of his activities. And guys with screws

2353
02:02:59,199 --> 02:03:01,600
Lewis don't get to be big league Baseball, they just don't.

2354
02:03:03,359 --> 02:03:06,000
And Thusie's a Long Island duck. Final Hour the Matt

2355
02:03:06,039 --> 02:03:08,600
Thomas Show with Ross. We've got the astros, we have

2356
02:03:08,640 --> 02:03:13,479
the rockets to get to. We have fighting between a

2357
02:03:13,520 --> 02:03:18,640
big twelve commissioner and a high end alum NFL rule changes.

2358
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:20,640
It sounds like we got that going on too. We

2359
02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:21,680
get to a lot of things to get to the

2360
02:03:21,720 --> 02:03:23,760
next fifty minutes. Ross what it's today's edition to believe

2361
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:27,760
it or not? Oh hell, all right, Trevor Bauer, you

2362
02:03:27,880 --> 02:03:29,880
probably could do it. I'm not doing that, all right.

2363
02:03:30,119 --> 02:03:33,760
Seven one three, two one two five seven autis is

2364
02:03:33,840 --> 02:03:42,079
the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. By the way, thanks

2365
02:03:42,119 --> 02:03:44,439
everybody that called in or seting tweets in the last

2366
02:03:44,479 --> 02:03:47,079
five minutes. That caller Kevin was a long time ago.

2367
02:03:47,159 --> 02:03:50,359
That was what two years ago, probably wouldn't stay a

2368
02:03:50,359 --> 02:03:53,279
couple of years. That it was that y'all think it

2369
02:03:53,319 --> 02:03:56,520
was in the last few seconds was not thank you

2370
02:03:56,560 --> 02:04:05,840
for having my back anyway. Great tweet from Chad Chris

2371
02:04:05,880 --> 02:04:08,000
Paul picking up Trevor Bauer on his way to Houston,

2372
02:04:08,159 --> 02:04:11,199
and it's from Dumber and Dumber. Got room for one

2373
02:04:11,239 --> 02:04:16,159
more if you want to go movie references. Huh, Chris

2374
02:04:16,159 --> 02:04:19,119
Paul and Trevor Bauer. That's not that's not in the

2375
02:04:19,119 --> 02:04:21,399
same category. Chris Paul was good as a rocket. I'm

2376
02:04:21,399 --> 02:04:23,840
not gonna allow that. No, but people keep calling about

2377
02:04:23,880 --> 02:04:26,560
Chris Paul. You can allow people are like, hey, they

2378
02:04:26,560 --> 02:04:30,439
need Chris Paul. Rockets need Chris Paul. It's not happening. No,

2379
02:04:30,439 --> 02:04:34,199
it's not definitely retired. Yeah, no, I took we took

2380
02:04:34,199 --> 02:04:36,720
a call like last week. It was a guy saying,

2381
02:04:36,760 --> 02:04:42,039
get Chris Paul. Oh, but we're read. Chipper's like, I

2382
02:04:42,079 --> 02:04:46,359
got this, don't worry, We're good. He's doing great. You

2383
02:04:46,399 --> 02:04:48,359
know what you needed. You needed another bench scorer, and

2384
02:04:48,399 --> 02:04:51,039
the Rockets don't have bench score. We got six players ross,

2385
02:04:51,159 --> 02:04:55,520
we got six players at score. It's a problem. Now

2386
02:04:55,520 --> 02:04:57,600
if Josh Julian wants to put in eight points a game,

2387
02:04:57,640 --> 02:05:00,239
I'm all for that, but that's you don't have more

2388
02:05:00,359 --> 02:05:02,199
more than that's not they want off than. It is

2389
02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:04,800
the on the regular. You know who has more than

2390
02:05:04,840 --> 02:05:10,159
six players who can score? No, I don't and I

2391
02:05:10,159 --> 02:05:12,119
don't want to even ask. So sometimes you want don't

2392
02:05:12,279 --> 02:05:13,840
answer the questions you don't ask for so I'm not

2393
02:05:13,880 --> 02:05:17,319
gonna ask a question, don't ask, just worried. Hey, we

2394
02:05:17,319 --> 02:05:19,239
gotta talks to Rockets. You want to Let's work quick

2395
02:05:19,279 --> 02:05:20,640
here we all this is the final hot of the show.

2396
02:05:20,640 --> 02:05:22,079
We have believe it or not. Today at one fifty.

2397
02:05:22,079 --> 02:05:25,399
Are you going with Christians that are in sports like

2398
02:05:25,399 --> 02:05:29,479
like religious like? Because earlier we were talking about how

2399
02:05:29,479 --> 02:05:33,640
the Astros we did the Christian Astros Christian power rankings.

2400
02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:37,760
M hmm, Walker, Vasquez, Javier Roa, do you disagree with

2401
02:05:37,760 --> 02:05:41,560
the money assessment? So you were putting Rolla on because

2402
02:05:41,560 --> 02:05:44,159
of the forty man. Not the forty man, but if

2403
02:05:44,199 --> 02:05:45,880
his name was Dan Rolla we would not put him

2404
02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:49,079
on that list. Okay, I got you all right, Rockets

2405
02:05:49,239 --> 02:05:53,840
uh one sign against the Wisconsin Herd of the G League. Yes,

2406
02:05:54,279 --> 02:05:56,399
gotta win those games. Gotta only play what's in front

2407
02:05:56,399 --> 02:06:00,600
of you. They did. They won one thirteen. We had

2408
02:06:00,600 --> 02:06:03,000
a loss in this community since you, of h they

2409
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:05,720
were never down in the game. Rockets got up as

2410
02:06:05,760 --> 02:06:08,399
much as twenty, got a little close for comfort at

2411
02:06:08,399 --> 02:06:11,920
the end, too close, but they won and that's the

2412
02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:13,720
most important thing. And they're now bumped to the five

2413
02:06:13,760 --> 02:06:20,520
seed in the Western Conference. AJ Green, Pete Nance, Cormack,

2414
02:06:20,640 --> 02:06:26,039
Ryan Cormack, Ryan was launching bombs yesterday, something called Pete

2415
02:06:26,119 --> 02:06:30,960
Nance was doing a bunch of stuff too. Yes, the

2416
02:06:31,359 --> 02:06:34,640
boys were bawling. By the way, there was a photo

2417
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:38,600
that was taken of Gianni's hugging e May and Kevin

2418
02:06:38,640 --> 02:06:43,119
duran Come on, that was first of all the Rockets

2419
02:06:43,159 --> 02:06:46,119
number one assistant Ben Sullivan used to be a coach

2420
02:06:46,159 --> 02:06:49,960
at Milwaukee when Milwaukee won the championship. So there's bros saying, hey,

2421
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:53,760
long time no see. Yes, and Kevin Durant and Giannis

2422
02:06:53,760 --> 02:06:56,840
have had a long relationship because of the international amount

2423
02:06:56,840 --> 02:07:00,119
of competition they've played. Do not read between the lines,

2424
02:07:01,000 --> 02:07:05,039
because let me tell you something. Kevin was on Team Grease. No,

2425
02:07:05,079 --> 02:07:07,800
but you played against Team Grease. Okay, he could walk

2426
02:07:07,880 --> 02:07:09,880
up and say, bro, you need to come here. Guess

2427
02:07:09,880 --> 02:07:13,600
what it's out of Both of their hands might be

2428
02:07:13,720 --> 02:07:18,399
in the little Indianis's hands. U Yannis will go and

2429
02:07:18,399 --> 02:07:21,039
say I want to be traded. He could say, I

2430
02:07:21,079 --> 02:07:24,039
mean Kevin Brant was signed off on being being a Rocket,

2431
02:07:24,399 --> 02:07:26,159
but it would not be that. Well, but at leasting

2432
02:07:26,560 --> 02:07:28,680
the only thing that Kevin said was no to Minnesota.

2433
02:07:28,720 --> 02:07:30,279
He would have gone to San Antonio. He would have

2434
02:07:30,319 --> 02:07:32,800
gone to Houston. He would have gone. If you're a

2435
02:07:32,840 --> 02:07:34,960
star player and you want to get out of a city,

2436
02:07:35,039 --> 02:07:37,199
you can't narrow it down to just one place because

2437
02:07:37,199 --> 02:07:40,439
you're you're handicapping the team that you're trying this. You're

2438
02:07:40,479 --> 02:07:43,680
you're trying to move away from. James Harden disagrees, Well,

2439
02:07:43,680 --> 02:07:45,920
look how James's careers turned out. Well, he wanted to

2440
02:07:45,920 --> 02:07:49,000
be a Clipper, Yeah, and that lasted what a couple

2441
02:07:49,039 --> 02:07:54,079
of years. I just I if Giannis wants to move,

2442
02:07:54,560 --> 02:07:56,640
he has to be flexible in knowing that it's going

2443
02:07:56,720 --> 02:07:58,239
to have to be one of three or four places.

2444
02:07:58,239 --> 02:07:59,520
Now you can narrow it down to three or four.

2445
02:07:59,560 --> 02:08:01,560
I don't think the problem with that. He's earned his

2446
02:08:01,960 --> 02:08:05,079
ability to do that. But if you all of a

2447
02:08:05,119 --> 02:08:08,399
sudden say I'm only going to say Miami, I'm only

2448
02:08:08,399 --> 02:08:10,880
going to Houston, I'm only going to Golden State, You're

2449
02:08:10,880 --> 02:08:12,560
not You're not helping out your cause there. I don't

2450
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:15,359
think he's gonna say that. Let's get him rockets or

2451
02:08:15,399 --> 02:08:18,720
the East one or the other. Yeah, I want no

2452
02:08:18,800 --> 02:08:21,880
Golden State. I don't want ever to utter the word

2453
02:08:21,960 --> 02:08:25,600
san Antonio. How are we feeling about the untouchability of

2454
02:08:25,600 --> 02:08:28,960
a men Thompson Because now, be honest, is a year older.

2455
02:08:29,720 --> 02:08:32,359
But also we were hopeful that the three point shot

2456
02:08:32,600 --> 02:08:34,319
would develop for a nd Thompson, and it has not.

2457
02:08:35,079 --> 02:08:37,800
So the balance is how much of the scales tipped

2458
02:08:38,439 --> 02:08:44,279
in either way or none at all. No one's told

2459
02:08:44,279 --> 02:08:48,119
me this. This is just me, Okay, I think a

2460
02:08:48,279 --> 02:08:53,279
end's untouchable. Now you've said he's not untouchable, and I

2461
02:08:53,359 --> 02:08:56,479
understand that. Not for you, honest, there's one component I

2462
02:08:56,520 --> 02:09:00,119
got news for you. Nobody's untouchable. I think you ye,

2463
02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:06,000
this this unbelievable, Yiannis bit. I think this is this

2464
02:09:06,039 --> 02:09:07,600
has taken away for some of the luster from this.

2465
02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:10,279
Two reasons why miss a lot of games this year,

2466
02:09:10,960 --> 02:09:15,560
And second he got sideways with his team publicly. Now

2467
02:09:16,079 --> 02:09:20,840
sometimes maybe that's publicly publicly. Yeah, I mean, I well,

2468
02:09:20,880 --> 02:09:23,279
they're arguing about Jannis wants to play the bucks and said, no,

2469
02:09:23,319 --> 02:09:24,840
you're not playing that way. I would feel like that

2470
02:09:24,840 --> 02:09:28,880
that's a little bit of a disconnect when you go yes, yeah,

2471
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:31,079
I just think you gotta be if he's on the rocket,

2472
02:09:31,079 --> 02:09:33,479
is he gonna play? I think you're gonna whoever's gonna

2473
02:09:33,479 --> 02:09:35,960
get him is gonna get him for a haul. But

2474
02:09:36,039 --> 02:09:39,760
he's also hollows. He now thirty two, he's thirty one.

2475
02:09:40,479 --> 02:09:42,319
What's it gonna be the start of the next season

2476
02:09:42,359 --> 02:09:44,880
this He will be thirty two in December, Okay, so

2477
02:09:44,920 --> 02:09:47,720
most of next year will be thirty two, still pretty

2478
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:49,239
much in the prime of his career. But he's had

2479
02:09:49,359 --> 02:09:51,960
injury ailments the last couple of years. The body probably

2480
02:09:52,079 --> 02:09:53,880
is a little older than thirty two in terms of

2481
02:09:53,880 --> 02:09:57,960
wear and tear. I guess I'll put it this way.

2482
02:09:57,960 --> 02:10:02,199
Whoever gets him, I don't think Rossy it'll be a

2483
02:10:02,239 --> 02:10:05,439
seismic movement in terms of what they get back. I

2484
02:10:05,439 --> 02:10:07,840
think they'll be draft picks involved that maybe one or

2485
02:10:07,840 --> 02:10:10,720
two instant players. But if you're Milwaukee, you need a

2486
02:10:10,720 --> 02:10:13,039
complete overhaul, which is probably gonna meant starting with your coach.

2487
02:10:13,119 --> 02:10:16,039
We're all happy to get Kevin Durant. He's thirty seven, yeah,

2488
02:10:16,079 --> 02:10:19,840
and he's been exceptional. Yeah, and he's been their best

2489
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:23,319
player of And it's also playing as many minutes as

2490
02:10:23,359 --> 02:10:26,720
anybody in the NBA, basically in terms of permanent you

2491
02:10:26,760 --> 02:10:28,199
know a number of total minutes per game.

2492
02:10:29,199 --> 02:10:29,319
Speaker 3: Uh.

2493
02:10:30,840 --> 02:10:33,439
Speaker 2: I just I don't think it's going And this may

2494
02:10:33,439 --> 02:10:34,960
be a positive for the Rockets, I don't know if

2495
02:10:34,960 --> 02:10:37,840
it's going to be able to I think Milwaukee's gonna

2496
02:10:37,880 --> 02:10:40,680
ask for way too much and have to settle on

2497
02:10:41,680 --> 02:10:43,520
seventy percent of what are they what they really want?

2498
02:10:44,840 --> 02:10:46,680
Because I think Giannis is again a lot of wear

2499
02:10:46,680 --> 02:10:50,199
and tear, missed much of the last season, never shot

2500
02:10:50,239 --> 02:10:53,720
well from three ever before, not a great free throw shooter.

2501
02:10:53,760 --> 02:10:58,439
Now downhill, Shoot, he's sixty four from the field, Say downhill.

2502
02:10:58,840 --> 02:11:01,319
But as we see with Kevin Durant, you have to

2503
02:11:01,399 --> 02:11:04,520
kind of reinvent your game a little bit, and does

2504
02:11:04,720 --> 02:11:06,800
ronas three years from now and again if Jannis comes

2505
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:08,720
here tomorrow, I'll be thrilled. I'm not saying that, but

2506
02:11:08,760 --> 02:11:10,199
I'm just I'm just trying to play a little bit

2507
02:11:10,239 --> 02:11:12,279
of a devil's advocate. It seems like you hate Jannis.

2508
02:11:12,319 --> 02:11:12,439
Speaker 1: Oh.

2509
02:11:12,439 --> 02:11:15,640
Speaker 2: I like Jannis a lot. He's averaged twenty seven points

2510
02:11:15,640 --> 02:11:19,560
six points per game this year, ten rebounds, five assists,

2511
02:11:19,600 --> 02:11:22,279
sixty two percent shooting. But here's my question, this is

2512
02:11:22,279 --> 02:11:24,319
just an honest question, and thirty two, thirty three, thirty

2513
02:11:24,319 --> 02:11:28,159
four years of age, can he get downhill like he's

2514
02:11:28,199 --> 02:11:30,760
doing it right now? Probably not, But you're trying to

2515
02:11:30,800 --> 02:11:33,000
win a championship. I would say with Kevin Durant, he's

2516
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:35,359
gonna be forty. You're keeping Kevin Durant. Your window is

2517
02:11:35,359 --> 02:11:38,359
a couple of years. Yeah, So then what would be

2518
02:11:38,359 --> 02:11:40,239
your Well, the problem is who you're gonna have to

2519
02:11:40,239 --> 02:11:43,640
give up a live body in return? For sure? Alpie

2520
02:11:44,520 --> 02:11:46,720
or a men are going to be the first two asks.

2521
02:11:46,960 --> 02:11:50,000
If not both, they're gonna ask for both. You're not

2522
02:11:50,039 --> 02:11:53,800
getting both. No, there's no way. Again, I still think

2523
02:11:53,840 --> 02:11:57,479
a man's untouchable. That could be up for argument. I

2524
02:11:57,520 --> 02:12:00,359
love him in Thompson, I love He's not gonna be

2525
02:12:00,399 --> 02:12:03,479
two time MVP. No he's not. But that's past tense.

2526
02:12:03,520 --> 02:12:06,680
You're you're you're telling when you say that, and I

2527
02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:09,079
understand where you're going with that. You're then anticipating that

2528
02:12:09,119 --> 02:12:11,279
he's going to get another MVP. I don't either Gianna's

2529
02:12:11,319 --> 02:12:13,159
days of being an MVP or over. Okay, here's his

2530
02:12:13,239 --> 02:12:19,039
finishes since twenty one, four three three four three Okay,

2531
02:12:19,439 --> 02:12:22,880
so top five in the MVP. He's what a huge

2532
02:12:22,920 --> 02:12:26,079
falloff third and fourth in the MVP every year. I

2533
02:12:26,239 --> 02:12:30,119
take it for sure. I just I just man just

2534
02:12:30,359 --> 02:12:35,039
fills the boxes of a lot of things. Defense, good

2535
02:12:35,079 --> 02:12:37,720
ball handler, defensive player of the Year. Yes, the Koumpo's

2536
02:12:37,760 --> 02:12:39,840
pretty good on defense, but again is thatch Way. But

2537
02:12:39,880 --> 02:12:42,000
he's gonna do a thirty two thirty three again at

2538
02:12:42,079 --> 02:12:43,920
these are all we we don't have the answers to that,

2539
02:12:44,680 --> 02:12:47,159
but you have. But you had to think about father time.

2540
02:12:47,239 --> 02:12:52,840
Yes you do. It's gonna be very And this is

2541
02:12:52,840 --> 02:12:55,039
the thing. I love him and Thompson. I'm just saying

2542
02:12:55,039 --> 02:12:58,800
he's not untouchable in a y honest deal. Yeah. I

2543
02:12:58,800 --> 02:13:02,600
think teams operate differently than we as fans. I think

2544
02:13:02,640 --> 02:13:07,239
in their mind they think there is untouchables. Now, if

2545
02:13:07,319 --> 02:13:09,359
you do straight up, then you probably do. But but

2546
02:13:09,399 --> 02:13:11,880
if you're if you're the Bucks, You're not doing it

2547
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:14,279
straight up. That's what I'm saying. The Bucks would say,

2548
02:13:14,279 --> 02:13:17,880
hell no, that's right. I mean, if you're gonna you're

2549
02:13:17,880 --> 02:13:21,000
gonna layer a deal with lots of current players and

2550
02:13:21,079 --> 02:13:23,199
draft picks, I don't know. If amends in that group,

2551
02:13:25,359 --> 02:13:28,199
well there, then who are they taking? You're going with Shinggoon?

2552
02:13:28,239 --> 02:13:32,680
Then I think Shangoon be talked about. Shagoon's notary Smith

2553
02:13:32,680 --> 02:13:35,479
would be talked about. Not untouchable, but you like him. Uh,

2554
02:13:35,600 --> 02:13:39,600
Harry Easton not untouchable, signing trades either. Nobody's untouchable except

2555
02:13:39,640 --> 02:13:41,600
Kevin Durant because that just wouldn't make any sense. Yeah,

2556
02:13:41,760 --> 02:13:44,399
all right, one fourteen on Sports Talk seven Aunty seven

2557
02:13:44,439 --> 02:13:46,600
one three two one two five seven ninety. If you

2558
02:13:46,600 --> 02:13:49,119
want to chime in seven one three two one two

2559
02:13:49,239 --> 02:13:51,600
five seven aunt of your astros have won five consecutive games.

2560
02:13:51,600 --> 02:13:53,600
The Rockets have won four in a row. We got

2561
02:13:53,600 --> 02:13:56,880
some NFL slight subtle changes that I want to talk

2562
02:13:56,920 --> 02:13:58,960
to you about about, not only things on the field,

2563
02:13:59,000 --> 02:14:01,239
but all will discuss that. Next. It is Matt and

2564
02:14:01,319 --> 02:14:04,680
Ross and we are with you today until two o'clock

2565
02:14:04,720 --> 02:14:07,279
today seven one three, two one two five seven nine,

2566
02:14:07,399 --> 02:14:10,000
which during the owners meetings that are being changed for

2567
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:16,000
twenty twenty six, teams can now declare and attempt an

2568
02:14:16,039 --> 02:14:18,000
on side kick at any point in the game, rather

2569
02:14:18,039 --> 02:14:21,680
than only in the fourth quarter. Okay, that seems still

2570
02:14:21,680 --> 02:14:23,840
a little weird, because again you can't fool them with

2571
02:14:23,920 --> 02:14:30,680
onside kicks. I mean, if you have to declare UH

2572
02:14:30,960 --> 02:14:33,279
to prevent teams are intentionally kicking out of bounds in

2573
02:14:33,279 --> 02:14:35,439
the fifty yard line, the resulting ball positions out of

2574
02:14:35,479 --> 02:14:38,279
the twenty yard line instead of the twenty five, to

2575
02:14:38,319 --> 02:14:41,159
prevent teams from what teams are intentionally kicking it out

2576
02:14:41,199 --> 02:14:44,319
of bounds in a fifty That doesn't make any sense.

2577
02:14:44,760 --> 02:14:48,319
Kickoff safety adjustment to prevent teams from intentionally kicking out

2578
02:14:48,359 --> 02:14:51,399
of bounds from the fifty yard line. The resulting position

2579
02:14:51,439 --> 02:14:53,319
is now the twenty yard lines of the twenty five.

2580
02:14:57,840 --> 02:15:00,880
I don't even get that. I'm just going through the

2581
02:15:00,920 --> 02:15:04,479
list here, I confuse. Yep, you have to have a

2582
02:15:04,479 --> 02:15:07,880
full time mental health clinician on the team, improving coliatory health.

2583
02:15:07,880 --> 02:15:15,359
That's a good idea. Let's see, we've talked about the

2584
02:15:15,399 --> 02:15:18,159
tampering procedures about talking to free agents, that that's been

2585
02:15:18,239 --> 02:15:20,359
changed a little bit. Here's one that I think is

2586
02:15:20,399 --> 02:15:21,920
the interesting one, and tell the one that kind of

2587
02:15:22,239 --> 02:15:25,760
kind of piqued my interest. There's going to be a

2588
02:15:25,800 --> 02:15:29,560
one year trial by the NFL that's going to allow

2589
02:15:29,600 --> 02:15:33,720
the league to step in on quote clear and obvious

2590
02:15:33,840 --> 02:15:39,960
official mistakes. If a official inficiating mistakes, meaning if they

2591
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:43,720
see something that's so egregiously wrong, you're going to be

2592
02:15:43,760 --> 02:15:46,720
able to get a booth assist, a field assist, a

2593
02:15:46,840 --> 02:15:49,119
whatever you want to call a legal assist to fix it.

2594
02:15:49,239 --> 02:15:50,600
And the reason why they're doing that, you know, the

2595
02:15:50,640 --> 02:15:54,239
reason why is because they're preparing for replacement officials in

2596
02:15:54,279 --> 02:15:58,319
twenty twenty six and they don't want goobers that have

2597
02:15:58,359 --> 02:16:03,600
never efficiated at the NFL level. Maybe they're they've been

2598
02:16:03,640 --> 02:16:06,359
doing the replay assist, but this is apparently going to

2599
02:16:06,399 --> 02:16:11,520
be a extra to that, meaning two feet in bounds

2600
02:16:12,039 --> 02:16:14,760
if it was clearly missed, or maybe there was a

2601
02:16:14,920 --> 02:16:17,840
they're going to run it back or a hold. It says,

2602
02:16:17,960 --> 02:16:21,119
a one year trial allowing the league to step in

2603
02:16:21,279 --> 02:16:25,800
unquote clear and obvious officiating mistakes. This is in case

2604
02:16:25,840 --> 02:16:29,399
a workstopage occurs. It's kind of a backup. Hey, we'll

2605
02:16:29,439 --> 02:16:31,039
be a big brother to you guys, just to make

2606
02:16:31,039 --> 02:16:32,559
sure you know that you don't have to carry all

2607
02:16:32,600 --> 02:16:35,639
the heavy lifting yourself. Okay, I don't see how that's

2608
02:16:35,680 --> 02:16:37,559
much different than the replayssis they do. Now, I guess

2609
02:16:37,600 --> 02:16:40,200
you'd just be faster or I mean it'd be more widespread,

2610
02:16:40,479 --> 02:16:45,559
more widespread. Okay, Now, remember one of the last time

2611
02:16:45,639 --> 02:16:48,680
officials decided they wanted to take a little hiatus. Yeah,

2612
02:16:48,680 --> 02:16:50,760
that's when you had the double the touchdown in completely

2613
02:16:50,840 --> 02:16:55,680
with the packers. Yeah. Uh, they got crushed. They were

2614
02:16:55,680 --> 02:17:00,799
not good. So let me ask you this. So the

2615
02:17:00,840 --> 02:17:04,159
next best level of people are those because those aren't

2616
02:17:04,159 --> 02:17:06,399
college officials. College guys are working on Saturdays. They don't

2617
02:17:06,399 --> 02:17:07,879
have time to be going an NFL. I don't know

2618
02:17:08,040 --> 02:17:10,040
are they Are they high school bros? Or no idea?

2619
02:17:10,079 --> 02:17:13,120
The vision two guys? Who are these referee scabs? I

2620
02:17:13,120 --> 02:17:15,559
mean I don't I don't even I wish I really

2621
02:17:15,600 --> 02:17:18,079
didn't know who they are because it doesn't make any

2622
02:17:18,239 --> 02:17:20,000
I mean, who are They've got to be high school guys?

2623
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:22,440
Why is the NFL always beefing with their referees union.

2624
02:17:22,760 --> 02:17:24,319
What's going on? Well, what is it? What is the

2625
02:17:24,600 --> 02:17:27,840
beef about? Union wise? I'm probably my money. Yeah, okay,

2626
02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:35,840
so they want more cash. I don't know, but it's

2627
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:39,000
it's just seems so weird that the biggest disconnect with

2628
02:17:39,079 --> 02:17:41,120
the NFL has not been with its players, has been

2629
02:17:41,120 --> 02:17:49,559
with its officials. Okay, so the dispute is now, yes, okay,

2630
02:17:49,799 --> 02:17:51,680
I thought it was coming next year. No no, no, no, no,

2631
02:17:51,959 --> 02:17:54,079
that they're they're hiring now. But they're saying in twenty

2632
02:17:54,159 --> 02:17:59,000
twenty six that if these scab is it scab twas Okay,

2633
02:17:59,079 --> 02:18:01,639
if these gab officials goof up so bad, like there

2634
02:18:01,719 --> 02:18:04,719
is a hold, I'm assuming it's a hold, or I'm

2635
02:18:04,719 --> 02:18:07,479
assuming it's an off sides that was not called. They're

2636
02:18:07,520 --> 02:18:09,360
gonna go and say, hey, we saw this, we're gonna

2637
02:18:09,399 --> 02:18:10,639
help you out. Are they gonna come in with clear

2638
02:18:10,639 --> 02:18:14,799
and obvious holds because those happen like everything? Yeah, I'm

2639
02:18:14,840 --> 02:18:16,920
curious how deep they get into that. We're gonna fit,

2640
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:19,280
we're gonna make sure we can't call everything. To me,

2641
02:18:19,360 --> 02:18:23,120
it feels like it's more like off sides or illegal

2642
02:18:23,200 --> 02:18:26,520
motion where that stuff is indisputable. And the current CBA

2643
02:18:26,680 --> 02:18:37,559
signed in nineteen and it expires in May. Hmm, interesting,

2644
02:18:42,159 --> 02:18:44,879
Let's get the real officials out there. I can't are

2645
02:18:44,920 --> 02:18:47,360
they really asking for too much? I mean, are the

2646
02:18:47,399 --> 02:18:49,879
officials asking for above? And by now? The NFL wants

2647
02:18:49,879 --> 02:18:51,840
them to go full time and the NFL fit and

2648
02:18:51,840 --> 02:18:53,319
the officials are like, shut your bum masts up. I

2649
02:18:53,360 --> 02:18:55,079
want to be able to make my money selling paint

2650
02:18:55,079 --> 02:18:57,719
when I'm not working games. As I told you that today,

2651
02:18:57,680 --> 02:18:59,719
I have to tell the truth. I making them full times?

2652
02:18:59,719 --> 02:19:00,600
Like them any better?

2653
02:19:00,719 --> 02:19:00,799
Speaker 3: No?

2654
02:19:00,840 --> 02:19:04,159
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Uh. The union is pushing back

2655
02:19:04,200 --> 02:19:11,120
on a performance based model for officiating accountability measures, and

2656
02:19:11,719 --> 02:19:17,600
the union is also pushing back on seniority helping guys

2657
02:19:17,680 --> 02:19:23,799
land postseason assignments. NFL wants to get rid of seniority

2658
02:19:23,799 --> 02:19:25,559
as a factor in postsease assignments. They just want to

2659
02:19:25,600 --> 02:19:27,360
have a lot. Yeah, they want they want the best.

2660
02:19:27,360 --> 02:19:30,520
Whether you've been the Union's like, the union wants seniority, guys. Yeah.

2661
02:19:30,520 --> 02:19:33,920
By the way, the NFL union, the referee unions being sued.

2662
02:19:33,959 --> 02:19:36,399
There's a one of the three female officials last year

2663
02:19:36,440 --> 02:19:39,840
got fired and she's suing them now for sexual harassment,

2664
02:19:40,520 --> 02:19:43,559
and then, of course money, NFL offering annual sellar increase

2665
02:19:43,559 --> 02:19:45,600
of six point four to five percent per year. They

2666
02:19:45,680 --> 02:19:50,719
want over ten percent a year. Apparently those are the

2667
02:19:50,719 --> 02:19:54,559
big sticking points at according to the Athletic. Okay, so

2668
02:19:54,600 --> 02:19:56,840
help me know this. They're gonna they're offered a six

2669
02:19:56,879 --> 02:20:01,200
percent raise every year or over those links of the year. Wow,

2670
02:20:02,079 --> 02:20:05,520
per year for six years. Could you imagine taking your

2671
02:20:05,559 --> 02:20:07,600
salary and getting a six percent bump every year? How

2672
02:20:07,600 --> 02:20:10,360
good would that be? It'd be nice. Isn't three percent

2673
02:20:10,399 --> 02:20:12,200
supposed to be standard? Three percent of what they call

2674
02:20:12,200 --> 02:20:16,319
the cost of living adjustment? Yeah, while you're rolling your eyes,

2675
02:20:16,680 --> 02:20:18,280
I don't feel like cost of living is going up

2676
02:20:18,319 --> 02:20:21,399
faster than that the gas. By the way, my case

2677
02:20:21,440 --> 02:20:23,879
bounced back the last cuple that's good. I was wondering,

2678
02:20:24,000 --> 02:20:26,319
I was I couldn't sleep last night. Well, I'm glad

2679
02:20:26,319 --> 02:20:27,760
you checked in on mean that makes the line that

2680
02:20:27,799 --> 02:20:30,559
means a lot to be. So, yeah, we're gonna have

2681
02:20:30,600 --> 02:20:33,879
scab officials. We're going to have the NFL watching over them.

2682
02:20:35,120 --> 02:20:41,280
When you say it replacement. The union guys want to

2683
02:20:41,280 --> 02:20:44,719
call them scabs, but I want to know who they are.

2684
02:20:44,879 --> 02:20:50,479
Are they they're not Division ones. They certainly aren't working

2685
02:20:50,520 --> 02:20:55,319
on saturdays. I don't know. Maybe it's maybe it's lower

2686
02:20:55,399 --> 02:20:57,239
end Division two, Division three. Like, man, this is my

2687
02:20:57,239 --> 02:20:58,959
one chance to get in the pros. May work, work,

2688
02:20:59,079 --> 02:21:01,399
I mean, but I mean, how do you if you

2689
02:21:01,520 --> 02:21:03,159
cross their picket line? Are you going to be in

2690
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:06,040
a chance of ruining your chance to be a major

2691
02:21:06,280 --> 02:21:08,879
NFL official? This is true. It was failed to fail

2692
02:21:08,959 --> 02:21:17,040
Mary was twenty twelve, fourteen years ago. No way, I

2693
02:21:17,159 --> 02:21:21,200
really want pass interference judged again. I really do. Give

2694
02:21:21,239 --> 02:21:23,719
me an official upstairs in the booth that just stares

2695
02:21:23,719 --> 02:21:25,159
at the thing over and over again, just like you

2696
02:21:25,159 --> 02:21:28,000
know how Jean Sarator does on the TV. Why don't

2697
02:21:28,000 --> 02:21:30,120
you have a legit dude up there saying yeah, I'm

2698
02:21:30,159 --> 02:21:32,200
watching this thing over and over again. That's interference. How

2699
02:21:32,200 --> 02:21:35,879
often does Jean's territory get stuff wrong? He usually backs

2700
02:21:35,879 --> 02:21:37,760
the officials too. Yeah, that's the problem is you have

2701
02:21:37,760 --> 02:21:41,639
to get somebody that's completely You have hard enough to say, yeah,

2702
02:21:41,760 --> 02:21:45,280
my friend Greg, who's the official in the game? Goroof done?

2703
02:21:45,319 --> 02:21:47,639
You need a panel of three, three guys and have

2704
02:21:47,719 --> 02:21:49,639
them a vote two out of three best two to

2705
02:21:49,680 --> 02:21:51,479
one wins. That's what I say. But how long will

2706
02:21:51,520 --> 02:21:53,319
that take to do that? Though you press the button,

2707
02:21:53,360 --> 02:21:56,600
it takes five seconds. They look at it once and

2708
02:21:56,639 --> 02:21:58,360
then boom. But I don't think they want to love

2709
02:21:58,399 --> 02:22:00,000
it all a couple time, as long as anybody else

2710
02:22:00,120 --> 02:22:03,440
looks at it. Yeah, because you have anchoring biases when

2711
02:22:03,479 --> 02:22:06,239
you when you make a first decision, you anchor towards that.

2712
02:22:06,239 --> 02:22:09,680
That's anybody, because especially in the NBA, it's like I'm

2713
02:22:09,719 --> 02:22:12,239
reviewing my own call. I'm going to try everything in

2714
02:22:12,280 --> 02:22:14,479
my power my bias to see that I made the

2715
02:22:14,520 --> 02:22:18,959
right call. It's natural. It's human nature, yes, human nature. Yes, yeah,

2716
02:22:19,000 --> 02:22:21,120
Now that in baseball you can't do that because the

2717
02:22:21,159 --> 02:22:25,120
insant replay shows whether that ball, I mean, whether that's

2718
02:22:25,239 --> 02:22:27,319
ball was a ball or a strike, or that guy's

2719
02:22:27,319 --> 02:22:29,479
foot touched the bag before the ball got there. Yeah.

2720
02:22:29,559 --> 02:22:31,360
You order chicken fried steak and I get rid by

2721
02:22:31,360 --> 02:22:32,840
and I'm like, dang, that looks good, and I'd be like, nah,

2722
02:22:32,840 --> 02:22:34,920
I made the right decision, Mike. I'm just you stick

2723
02:22:34,959 --> 02:22:37,479
to your own decisions for whatever reason. It's human nature.

2724
02:22:37,559 --> 02:22:40,120
That's true, all right. Brian mctaggard on the Astros an

2725
02:22:40,159 --> 02:22:42,719
awesome start we'll hear from him next one nine on

2732
02:23:06,520 --> 02:23:08,159
kind of joke with him early on in our visit,

2733
02:23:08,200 --> 02:23:11,559
and here's some of the conversation about the Astros raising

2734
02:23:11,639 --> 02:23:14,120
a banner after this five game winning streak, including a

2735
02:23:14,200 --> 02:23:16,799
very impressive three game sweep over the Boston Red Sox.

2736
02:23:17,479 --> 02:23:20,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just the quality of the advanced

2737
02:23:20,120 --> 02:23:25,040
I mean, they preached this all offseason and into spring training,

2738
02:23:25,079 --> 02:23:26,760
and even I don't know if you remember the first

2739
02:23:26,760 --> 02:23:28,719
few grape Fruit League games, the spot as like, oh,

2740
02:23:28,760 --> 02:23:31,639
we drew six walks, drew seven walks, and they were

2741
02:23:31,680 --> 02:23:34,440
excited about the different approach that they have. But it's

2742
02:23:34,479 --> 02:23:36,399
really been a point of emphasis with the new hitting

2743
02:23:36,399 --> 02:23:39,680
coaches and their new hitting coordinator is let's make these

2744
02:23:39,719 --> 02:23:43,399
pitchers work, Let's stay inside the strike zone, and it's

2745
02:23:43,479 --> 02:23:46,239
really paid off. I mean, and it's across the board,

2746
02:23:46,280 --> 02:23:48,920
you know. I think one guy at the forefront of

2747
02:23:48,959 --> 02:23:51,399
it is the guy who was probably their biggest free swingers,

2748
02:23:51,440 --> 02:23:54,600
jose l TV. I mean, his his chase rate last

2749
02:23:54,680 --> 02:23:57,120
year was fifty percent and right as of right now,

2750
02:23:57,159 --> 02:24:01,280
it's like thirty four percent. It was a swing rate. Sorry,

2751
02:24:01,319 --> 02:24:04,319
his chase rate is down like sixteen percent. And even

2752
02:24:04,360 --> 02:24:06,239
swinging in the zone. He was swinging in the zone

2753
02:24:06,319 --> 02:24:08,239
last year it's like sixty three percent and now it's

2754
02:24:08,319 --> 02:24:11,239
less than fifty percent. He's got more waks than strikeouts.

2755
02:24:11,239 --> 02:24:13,079
And this is a guy who usually strikes out twice

2756
02:24:13,079 --> 02:24:15,639
as many times as he walks, so up and down

2757
02:24:15,639 --> 02:24:18,360
the lineup, they're really making the pitchers come in the zone.

2758
02:24:18,399 --> 02:24:20,520
They're getting they're getting the starters out of the game early.

2759
02:24:20,600 --> 02:24:24,239
To me, that's the biggest thing. And then I think,

2760
02:24:24,479 --> 02:24:26,440
I like what I see from the bullpen. They've been

2761
02:24:26,440 --> 02:24:28,959
able to deploy these long relievers a couple of times

2762
02:24:28,959 --> 02:24:30,520
to chew up two or three in his blue ball.

2763
02:24:30,520 --> 02:24:33,559
Looks really good. They got to get the closing situation

2764
02:24:33,639 --> 02:24:35,799
ironed out. But a brain, you looked, you know, quite

2765
02:24:35,799 --> 02:24:37,879
a bit better yesterday, So you know a lot of

2766
02:24:37,920 --> 02:24:40,520
things that through the Astros. You think this is positive

2767
02:24:40,559 --> 02:24:41,639
and we can sustain this.

2768
02:24:42,799 --> 02:24:45,079
Speaker 2: What did you know about the hitting coaches coming in?

2769
02:24:45,520 --> 02:24:48,959
And look, Astro fan base can be a finicky bunch.

2770
02:24:49,920 --> 02:24:52,680
They're touting them highly now, but if they go on

2771
02:24:52,719 --> 02:24:54,719
a streak where they only score three runs over a

2772
02:24:54,760 --> 02:24:56,680
five game stretch, they'll be calling for their job. So

2773
02:24:57,000 --> 02:24:58,799
what did you know about them going in? And I

2774
02:24:58,840 --> 02:25:01,440
know there is a there was co hitting coaches last year.

2775
02:25:01,479 --> 02:25:03,680
There is definitely a hierarchy chart this summer around.

2776
02:25:05,280 --> 02:25:08,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think on Friday the Astros fans wanted everybody

2777
02:25:08,000 --> 02:25:09,959
fired again. I think all were talking about that the

2778
02:25:10,280 --> 02:25:12,319
fire spot of guys were back. And I haven't heard

2779
02:25:12,360 --> 02:25:14,879
from him now, but they're probably having a rough time.

2780
02:25:14,920 --> 02:25:17,680
But uh yeah, I mean they thought they obviously needed

2781
02:25:17,719 --> 02:25:20,440
some different voices in the room, and they they brought

2782
02:25:20,479 --> 02:25:23,399
in Victor Rodriguez, who has done this for a very

2783
02:25:23,440 --> 02:25:28,040
long time, has worked with some super They even promoted

2784
02:25:28,120 --> 02:25:31,360
uh you know one of their I guess hitting gurus,

2785
02:25:31,399 --> 02:25:34,719
the guy who knows more about hitting biomechanics than anybody

2786
02:25:34,719 --> 02:25:38,440
in the game probably and Dan Hennigan, he's their offensive coordinator,

2787
02:25:38,479 --> 02:25:40,840
so to speak, you know Korea. Talking with Korea during

2788
02:25:40,879 --> 02:25:43,479
spring training, he says, gotten a lot of great information

2789
02:25:43,559 --> 02:25:46,040
from him, so it was time that they needed some

2790
02:25:46,120 --> 02:25:47,360
new new leadership.

2791
02:25:47,399 --> 02:25:48,959
Speaker 2: I think in in their their.

2792
02:25:48,799 --> 02:25:51,879
Speaker 4: Hitting room and uh and I think those guys have

2793
02:25:51,959 --> 02:25:54,120
been instrumental in trying to get them to change their

2794
02:25:54,159 --> 02:25:55,719
approach as a whole as a team, and so far

2795
02:25:55,760 --> 02:25:56,360
it's working out.

2796
02:25:57,239 --> 02:26:01,079
Speaker 2: Moving to the pitching side, just your thoughts on the

2797
02:26:01,120 --> 02:26:06,000
starting rotation and starting with Alance mccullors Junior, I'm sure

2798
02:26:06,040 --> 02:26:08,000
you predicted seven innings of one and one brawl.

2799
02:26:07,879 --> 02:26:12,200
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I said, first time through the rotation, mccollor

2800
02:26:12,319 --> 02:26:14,280
is going to be the one who dominates. So they

2801
02:26:14,360 --> 02:26:16,520
good for him. I mean, he you know, he seemed

2802
02:26:16,520 --> 02:26:18,120
to be in a different place. I think we might

2803
02:26:18,159 --> 02:26:19,840
have talked about this earlier in the spring training when

2804
02:26:19,840 --> 02:26:21,399
we talked to him the first couple of days. Seemed

2805
02:26:21,440 --> 02:26:24,040
to be just very comfortable where he was at. He

2806
02:26:24,200 --> 02:26:26,879
was enthused that he had a whole offseason where he

2807
02:26:26,920 --> 02:26:29,559
wasn't healthy and wasn't rehabbing. He seemed very at peace

2808
02:26:29,600 --> 02:26:32,600
and and man, he came out and threw like a

2809
02:26:32,639 --> 02:26:35,440
guy who's ready to push back the clock ten years.

2810
02:26:35,440 --> 02:26:36,959
But you know, he's not the same picture that he

2811
02:26:37,000 --> 02:26:39,079
was years ago. He doesn't from ninety seven ninety eight,

2812
02:26:39,159 --> 02:26:42,319
but you know he doesn't rely on the curve ball

2813
02:26:42,399 --> 02:26:45,200
and the sweeper as much like he used to. But

2814
02:26:45,200 --> 02:26:46,959
but you know, he's in his all. He's trying to

2815
02:26:46,959 --> 02:26:49,120
get contact. He ended up getting nine strikeouts.

2816
02:26:49,920 --> 02:26:52,000
Speaker 2: He was terrific. I was gotta build on it.

2817
02:26:52,040 --> 02:26:54,680
Speaker 4: But I think we'll see better the second time out.

2818
02:26:54,520 --> 02:26:56,760
Speaker 2: From em I mean a couple more minutes here with

2819
02:26:57,639 --> 02:27:00,879
Brian McTaggart on Sports Talk seven ninety eight. Uh, Christian

2820
02:27:00,920 --> 02:27:04,440
Vasquez goes deep yesterday, which then immediately sent astro Twitter

2821
02:27:04,479 --> 02:27:07,680
into he needs to play more often? Uh, jan here, Diez,

2822
02:27:07,840 --> 02:27:10,360
how would you describe his spring and how would you

2823
02:27:11,479 --> 02:27:13,159
you know, we don't ask you to describe the numbers

2824
02:27:13,200 --> 02:27:14,959
so far it's not been good at least behind the

2825
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:19,000
plate and behind the dish at catching. So a thought

2826
02:27:19,079 --> 02:27:23,239
or two about the long term in your mind future

2827
02:27:23,319 --> 02:27:27,120
for Yarnier Diez. Not necessarily Christian Vasquez pushing for more

2828
02:27:27,159 --> 02:27:29,159
playing time, but how much are we going to spend

2829
02:27:29,159 --> 02:27:31,319
looking at Walter Onyx's development this year at the Monor

2830
02:27:31,399 --> 02:27:31,879
League level?

2831
02:27:34,600 --> 02:27:36,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you know, the advats haven't been good

2832
02:27:37,000 --> 02:27:39,639
from from Diaz. You know, the approach hasn't been great.

2833
02:27:39,920 --> 02:27:42,159
He swung and mist at three balls outside the zone

2834
02:27:42,200 --> 02:27:46,479
the other day. He's not making hard contact, so they

2835
02:27:46,520 --> 02:27:48,280
have to be concerned about that. I mean the spring

2836
02:27:48,319 --> 02:27:50,639
he looked okay, not great at the play. Defensively, I

2837
02:27:50,680 --> 02:27:53,680
think he's making stripes. The Colors gust on him the

2838
02:27:53,680 --> 02:27:55,639
other day about you know, how well he called the

2839
02:27:55,680 --> 02:27:58,280
pitches and and so forth. I know the Hunter Brown

2840
02:27:58,319 --> 02:27:59,799
really trust him as well. But he's gonna have to

2841
02:27:59,840 --> 02:28:02,000
hit a little bit. And I think if they if

2842
02:28:02,000 --> 02:28:05,559
you put Christian Vasquez as a starting catcher, then he's

2843
02:28:05,600 --> 02:28:08,399
going to be Christian Besquez that we expected and hit

2844
02:28:08,440 --> 02:28:10,360
two hundred and you know, not to take anything away

2845
02:28:10,399 --> 02:28:12,360
from him, but he's a backup catcher at this point

2846
02:28:12,360 --> 02:28:15,680
in his career. Long term, Yanick is the guy. He

2847
02:28:15,799 --> 02:28:19,000
had a tremendous spring for them. Defensively, I think he's

2848
02:28:19,000 --> 02:28:22,559
a major league ready starting catcher. He made some strides

2849
02:28:22,600 --> 02:28:25,200
offensively in the Great Fruit League. So he's starting out

2850
02:28:25,239 --> 02:28:27,760
at Double A, which he hasn't even played in Double

2851
02:28:27,799 --> 02:28:30,559
A yet. But if he can hit, I think Dana

2852
02:28:30,600 --> 02:28:32,520
will move in pretty quickly. I think we could see

2853
02:28:32,600 --> 02:28:35,159
him in triple A, and I think we'll come to

2854
02:28:35,239 --> 02:28:37,040
camp next year he has a good season at the plate.

2855
02:28:37,079 --> 02:28:39,079
I think he could come to camp next year battling

2856
02:28:39,120 --> 02:28:41,159
for definitely a spot on the roster, but maybe even

2857
02:28:41,239 --> 02:28:44,479
a starting spot unless Diaz really gets it turned around

2858
02:28:44,479 --> 02:28:44,879
at the plate.

2859
02:28:45,479 --> 02:28:47,600
Speaker 2: Far let you run. Let's get a thought or two

2860
02:28:47,600 --> 02:28:50,040
about when we should see Spencer Arrigady call up. Is

2861
02:28:50,040 --> 02:28:51,840
there any time frame, because I know there's a stretch

2862
02:28:51,840 --> 02:28:54,680
now of two weeks without a day off, so the

2863
02:28:54,680 --> 02:28:56,719
presumption is a six man rotation will come into play

2864
02:28:56,719 --> 02:28:58,360
at least for the short term. When do you expect

2865
02:28:58,360 --> 02:29:00,159
that decision be made?

2866
02:29:01,319 --> 02:29:04,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it'll probably be another week April. I

2867
02:29:04,360 --> 02:29:07,360
think they have an off day April tenth, so maybe

2868
02:29:08,040 --> 02:29:11,159
before they hit before they hit Seattle, I think we'll

2869
02:29:11,239 --> 02:29:13,200
have to start. That's when when this when they go

2870
02:29:13,200 --> 02:29:14,920
out like this thirteen game stretch, So I think we're

2871
02:29:14,959 --> 02:29:18,319
another week away from from getting uh the six man rotation.

2872
02:29:18,399 --> 02:29:20,360
So Eric Getty's gonna have another one, one or two

2873
02:29:20,360 --> 02:29:22,159
starts down there. But it's nice that they have him.

2874
02:29:22,200 --> 02:29:24,920
They have Jason Alexander and triple Triple A, Cold and Gordon.

2875
02:29:25,319 --> 02:29:27,159
You know, they have some guys that they would feel

2876
02:29:27,159 --> 02:29:29,319
comfortable about coming up and adding to this rotation if

2877
02:29:29,319 --> 02:29:29,719
they have to.

2878
02:29:32,440 --> 02:29:37,479
Speaker 2: Brian McTaggart earlier today from MLB dot com covering the

2879
02:29:37,479 --> 02:29:39,840
intros like Nobody's business and to give us some great content.

2880
02:29:39,840 --> 02:29:43,680
I'm sure Chandler Rome would disagree with you. Why you said,

2881
02:29:43,719 --> 02:29:47,319
like nobody's business. Oh okay, like Chandler Rome's business. Yeah,

2882
02:29:47,319 --> 02:29:51,040
like exactly like Chandler Mat was like, man, yeah, wrap

2883
02:29:51,040 --> 02:29:55,239
it up, Chamdler, give them Jeremy Penia. Did you see

2884
02:29:55,239 --> 02:29:59,440
a smile that Chandler had when uh, Jeremy Pene was

2885
02:30:00,040 --> 02:30:04,479
interrupted the conversation with Camps, maybe glowingly happy that the

2886
02:30:05,079 --> 02:30:08,159
Chandler loves his team so much. It's good. Much of

2887
02:30:08,200 --> 02:30:09,959
the people that think they don't love that channel doesn't

2888
02:30:09,959 --> 02:30:12,799
love the astros. He doesn't love it. He covers them,

2889
02:30:12,840 --> 02:30:15,040
he covers He's not a fan a fanboy. It's okay,

2890
02:30:15,559 --> 02:30:17,399
We've got a fanboy meeting this town. We need we

2891
02:30:17,440 --> 02:30:20,760
need some objectivity, yes, all right, believe it or not. Today, Ross,

2892
02:30:20,760 --> 02:30:24,799
what's the category Christians that are in Houston or in

2893
02:30:24,840 --> 02:30:29,520
general Houston Christian university. All I think Christian related. No,

2894
02:30:29,559 --> 02:30:32,840
it's Christian athletes, all right, but athletes named Christian. I'm

2895
02:30:32,879 --> 02:30:36,360
