1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,399
Speaker 1: All right, leven O three Sports Talk seven utie Brian

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,519
McTaggart is with us for his weekly visit.

3
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:05,919
Speaker 2: Now.

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Brian leaves and lives in League City. He covered the

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,960
game last night. We're gonna try to guess where he is.

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,760
He's on his way to Arlington right now, closest without

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,399
going over wins Ross. We don't know where he left

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,320
when he left. We're no wet. We're just appearing out

9
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:25,559
here a guest. So let's say he got home at

10
00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:28,559
say midnight. Okay, Yeah, he's an instant career man. I

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,240
probably gets the Burly seven thirty. He didn't pack, so

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,320
we packed quickly for this. Uh huh, he's about a

13
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:38,640
fifteen minute packer said, I'll say something thirties two and

14
00:00:38,679 --> 00:00:41,320
a half hours and I'm going to say he is

15
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:44,600
I'm going Buffalo, Texas. I was gonna say Buffalo. Are

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,039
you serious?

17
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: Are you serious?

18
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:49,719
Speaker 1: I was really gonna say Buffalo. What's the place. We're saying, Oh,

19
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:53,000
fair I'm gonna go Fairfield. Okay, I'm gonna say in

20
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:55,640
course of Canada, Nope, too far, Brian, where are you?

21
00:00:57,159 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: I just posted a picture on my Twitter. It tells

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,479
you exactly where It'm at okay here.

23
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: So he's in Madisonville. Then if you posted it, it's

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,040
got to be Bucky. Yeah, you gotta be a Bucky's.

25
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:09,079
Speaker 2: Nice I just pulled him.

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: Oh Madisonville. Damn. You know we went off chalk, Brian.

27
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,120
That's as we messed up.

28
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:18,359
Speaker 2: You did? You did? That was? That was? That was

29
00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:19,359
a layup for you guys.

30
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: So what time did you leave League City this morning?

31
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: I left about nine ten?

32
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: Okay, hit a little traffic around downtown when forty five

33
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,560
goes to two lanes for some unknown reason, and.

34
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,439
Speaker 2: Then yeah, but otherwise, yeah, otherwise fine.

35
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: Okay, good, all right, good, Hey, uh the comeback kids

36
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:38,959
are back in action. This is not a bad little

37
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,280
serious performance for the local night, especially with two back

38
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,599
to backers. I thought yesterday was even more impressive because

39
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,599
of the fact that it felt like Kansas City was

40
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,120
on cruise control for much of the game.

41
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree to take two or three with the

42
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,879
pitching matchups that that the Royals were throwing out there

43
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,879
and you know, come from behind win. I think, what

44
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,000
only their second win this year when trailing after seven innings,

45
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,480
So that was, you know, probably one of the most

46
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:03,760
impressive wins of the season. I mean, I was just

47
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:07,319
thinking that they're squeezing every ounce they can out of

48
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:09,719
this offense. I mean, two solo homers get it done

49
00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:12,520
a couple of days ago, you know, yesterday do bomb

50
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,240
drops a couple of doubles. I mean, the offense is

51
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,400
still scuffling really badly, and they're making the most of it.

52
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:22,120
But the pitching has been so good for the most part,

53
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,960
especially the bullpen, that they're in every game pretty much,

54
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:27,120
with the exception of you know, a couple of those

55
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:30,039
on the home stand that we're all aware of. But yeah,

56
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,800
I mean, I think Joe said it a few times.

57
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:34,840
The fact that they have this record and their offense

58
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,159
is as poor as it's been, I think it's pretty

59
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,919
it's pretty promising. If you think once they get back

60
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,159
to full strength and everyone starts hitting up to their level.

61
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,319
Speaker 1: I think you have to make an exception to your

62
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,800
rule about everybody's struggling offensively except the leadoff man. Jeremy Pinion.

63
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:53,120
My god, is this ops gone up like five hundred

64
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:54,319
points in the last two weeks.

65
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's done a nice job in that leadoff spot,

66
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:00,560
and you know, he had that great spring and made

67
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:02,680
a few changes to his swing, and you know, got

68
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:04,159
off to a little bit of a slow start, but

69
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:07,800
he looks like now he's he's developing into everything they

70
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:09,400
had hoped he would be. I mean, this is his

71
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,199
fourth year now, so it's not like this is an

72
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:11,879
overnight thing.

73
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,479
Speaker 2: But man, good for him.

74
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 3: I mean, he's put in a lot of work to

75
00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:17,159
get to this point, and anytime you put someone in

76
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,319
the leadoff spot, you know, you wonder how they're gonna do.

77
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840
It comes with a lot of pressure, and he's done

78
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,759
a very nice job. You know, just sort of like

79
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:26,719
when you move somebody to close it, you don't know

80
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:28,400
if they're built for it or not. Guys you know,

81
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:31,159
Will Harris couldn't do it, and you know Ken Giles

82
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,360
really couldn't do it, but you know other guys can,

83
00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:37,280
and they move Penna the leadoff spot and he certainly is,

84
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:40,199
you know, a quarter through the season, is probably the

85
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:41,599
Astros MVP at this point.

86
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've seen hot streaks from him before, Brian, And

87
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:46,680
of course you always mentioned Memorial Day is kind of

88
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,840
where you shake things out. We're only a couple of

89
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,199
weeks out from that and he is still sustaining this.

90
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:55,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, but and that leads me to believe it's real.

91
00:03:55,719 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: I mean, he's you know, not striking out as much,

92
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:01,319
walking a little more, and it just looks more confident

93
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,639
at the plate. His swing is just seems to be uh.

94
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:07,199
Speaker 2: You know the word he's uses quieter.

95
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,479
Speaker 3: There's just not not going you know, a lot going on,

96
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:10,479
a little toe tap.

97
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,719
Speaker 2: And he's got those quick hands.

98
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: You know, yesterday I tried to you know, sneak a

99
00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:15,759
ball by him, and you know, he was able to

100
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:18,560
get those hands in and just turn on it. And

101
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,079
so yeah, he's uh, you know, he's got a chance

102
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,639
to make the All Star Game in the in the

103
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:26,360
American League at shortstop. Add that to his resume, which

104
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,480
already includes a World Series, a World Series MVP, ALCS MVP.

105
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: There was really only one poor reliever in the middle

106
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,839
relief corps and Taylor Scott obviously got DFA yesterday, but

107
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,959
I mean Dubin or King and then Bray you who's

108
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,720
felt like the appearances have gone down? Where would this

109
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,240
team be without this bullpen because not only are they successful,

110
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,240
but man, Brian, they're being used in the fifth any

111
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,600
more than perhaps any other bullpen in baseball.

112
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: Right now, Yeah, I'd be interested to see where they

113
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:01,360
rank as far as innings. That's something I'll I'll look

114
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,279
up after I finished my icy here at Bucki's. But uh,

115
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,759
even even the two games where they had the short

116
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:10,199
starts and the Colors game and the Gusto game, the

117
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,959
bullpen came in and shut the door in both games

118
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,839
they they had a chance. You know, I think both

119
00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:18,560
games maybe had the time run at the play it

120
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,079
at some point.

121
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, I've said it before.

122
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 3: I thought the bullpen was the one area where they

123
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,360
going into the season, I thought they were really thin.

124
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,279
But so far it's been it's been their strengths so far.

125
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:32,600
And Dubin's the guy we saw yesterday who can come

126
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:35,360
in and you know, sneak ninety six ninety seven by

127
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:36,240
you before you know it.

128
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: He's He's very durable, a guy that.

129
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,079
Speaker 3: Can pitch two innings if you if you need to

130
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,439
start him and get four it in is he can

131
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,279
do that as well. So you know, it stinks for

132
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:46,720
Taylor Scott, who did a really nice job last year.

133
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,759
But yeah, Dubin I think can be even a bigger

134
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,920
weapon out of that bullpen. So you know, props to

135
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,759
all those guys. For for getting it done, but uh

136
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:57,399
got to do it over the next four months as well,

137
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,319
because some of those guys are are pitching a lot,

138
00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:02,639
you know, a brave he's pitching a lot again. So

139
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:05,240
we'll see how they do here as we continue through

140
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:05,639
the season.

141
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: Brian McTaggert continuing with us here on Sports Talk seven

142
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,720
ninety back to the lineup, real Quick, continuing struggles for

143
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:16,600
Christian Walker, oh for four a couple of strikeouts. Talked

144
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:19,199
about pinya and hoping that's real, and we hope it's

145
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,680
not real with the way that Walker's performing.

146
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:23,399
Speaker 2: Well.

147
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: I went to Christian Walker Monday before the game and

148
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,319
did an interview with him on how well he was hitting,

149
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,279
you know, and if you talk to him, I know

150
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:35,560
Matt interviewed him after. I did a very stand up guy.

151
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,519
I mean in very honest, very candid. You know, he came,

152
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,600
as advertised, just one of the best, you know interviews

153
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:44,279
you could have. But he was great about a swing

154
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,079
and I think at that time he was hitting two

155
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:48,040
twenty five, he was coming around, and then I think

156
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,439
he had a hitless series against the Royals. So he

157
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,120
may never want to talk to me or Matt again,

158
00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:56,720
but just when I think that he's coming around, and

159
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,639
then you have a stretch where he looks.

160
00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: Like, you know, he's a little bit low at the plate.

161
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, the deeper you get into this more you

162
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,759
start to scratch your head. But man, I still think

163
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,759
there's got to be better days ahead from Matt. I

164
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:14,040
just don't I'd be shocked of Christian Walker's hitting two

165
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,839
eleven at the All Star Breaker two fifteen, or even

166
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:17,439
two twenty.

167
00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: We all know full well how Astros fans can be. Brian,

168
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:23,800
there has been a lot of talk about hitting coaches

169
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:26,480
all year, especially now with Jeff Pass and Alex Bregman

170
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:29,480
article talking about adjustments he made. Just your opinion on

171
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,680
that whole narrative and any underlying possibility of a change

172
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:35,639
being made.

173
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:39,079
Speaker 2: There, Yeah, I don't see it.

174
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,839
Speaker 3: I mean, the same hitting coaches that you know in

175
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:44,800
twenty twenty two when they won the World Series, the

176
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:48,040
same pitching coaches when they won the World Series. To me,

177
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:50,120
I'm always going to put the blame on the player,

178
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,639
I mean, bottom line. Yeah, if you read the Passion article,

179
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:55,399
one of the things that stood out to me was

180
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:57,800
that one of the things that clicked for Bregman that

181
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:00,800
he said was that he was getting the knob. Pass

182
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:03,079
the ball. He said the same thing last year when

183
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:04,959
he was struggling here. He had a big game and

184
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,800
he's like, not pass the ball, that's what clicks. So

185
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,160
this isn't anything new. I don't think. I don't think

186
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,040
Bregman's got gone there and just reinvented his swing. I

187
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,480
think maybe he's made a couple of changes here and there.

188
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,319
He was the guy that was constantly tinkering with his swing,

189
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:20,680
always trying different things, always looking at video.

190
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: I think he likes hitting at Fenway Park.

191
00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:25,319
Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons he signed there is he

192
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:28,360
thought he really liked the backdrop and the idea of

193
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:32,639
the Green Monster. So I think it's just low hanging

194
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,159
fruit to say blame the hitting coaches. Blame the hitting coaches.

195
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,399
And I saw your tweet yesterday Ross that you know,

196
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,080
where's the praise for the hitting coaches for helping p

197
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,879
You know, come have a guy that looks like he'd

198
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:46,519
be an All Star. Now, the responsibilities on the players,

199
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,440
and yes, I mean at some point, if if there's

200
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,320
a team wide failure in hitting philosophy, then yeah, maybe

201
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,120
you make some changes, but you have some very accomplished

202
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,320
hitters in the Astros lineup not carrying the weight, and

203
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,840
the onus is on them more than it is the coaches.

204
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,759
Speaker 1: To wrap up our conversation, Brian, what's going through the

205
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,720
mind of Lance mccullors. Obviously the last start was far

206
00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:10,320
from what he wanted. Only one third inning struggled in

207
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:13,720
terms of pitch cap the first one, and look, Arlington

208
00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:16,039
is a place the Rangers are hitting well, it's an

209
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:20,600
easy ballpark for hitting offensively. I'm not going to say

210
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:22,480
how important is it, so I don't want you to

211
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:25,919
read into that, but start number three, he wants to

212
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,320
see some tangible improvement. I'm assuming yes, oh yeah.

213
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: I mean it's got to be a case where a

214
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,360
if you're Lance after that start, you want to say, hey,

215
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,320
that was a one star thing. I'm back on track.

216
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:40,600
Get some quick innings, get some swing and miss, which

217
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,919
he wasn't able to do, maybe even build the velocity

218
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,320
just a little bit. I mean, the Rangers on a

219
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,639
great lineup. They just beat up on the Rockies, who

220
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,919
are just awful. Mark Corey Seegers on the I l again,

221
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,240
he's there, you know, by far their best hitter and

222
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,840
someone who's really gonna thorn in their sides. But you

223
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,399
know they have Jack Peterson hitting third last night, OPS

224
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:02,279
is under five hundred. So this is this is a

225
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,120
this is a lineup that I think he could have

226
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,240
some success against. But if he does go out there

227
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,440
have another short start, gets knocked around, then maybe you know,

228
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:13,799
you have to have some you know, real discussions about

229
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,279
you know, where do you go from here with Lions

230
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,639
mccullors junior. But if he has a good start on Friday,

231
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,639
then you try to build on it. But you know,

232
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,879
we'll see it's gonna be a very interesting start for

233
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,200
him on Friday for sure.

234
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: And lastly, any thought of maybe seeing Jordan on this

235
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,320
road trip at some point.

236
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: I would think I would think we will. I mean,

237
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:33,600
I know that Joe said we're close, and we've heard

238
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,639
that over and over. I guess until maybe he's taking

239
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:39,840
some batting practice on the field. I think they really

240
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,440
want him in the lineup for the for this series.

241
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,080
I don't maybe they get him back to the last

242
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,120
couple of games and maybe he's in there tonight, who knows,

243
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:49,600
But I certainly would be surprised if he is not

244
00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:51,840
in the lineup at some point during this road trip,

245
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,440
and maybe we'll have more clarity on that when we

246
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,480
get to Arlington in a few hours and we're.

247
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: Able to talk to Jump.

248
00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:00,759
Speaker 1: All right, last question, Ross, you and I will guess

249
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,320
what flavor icy did Brian mctagger choose at BUCkies. Now,

250
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:09,879
the two leaders in the clubhouse are Cola and Cherry.

251
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,120
Blueberry also sometimes gets in there, and I believe doctor

252
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,200
Pepper can be a flavor. Now that BUCkies I've gone

253
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,240
to has multiple machines. I'm gonna go, you went Cola?

254
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:27,000
What do you say, Ross, I'm gonna go cotton candy.

255
00:11:25,399 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: Cotton Candy.

256
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,519
Speaker 3: Well, I actually haven't gotten it yet about about to

257
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,159
go in, but yeah, I'm definitely a Cola guy.

258
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about.

259
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: Kuber very Goodn't you are? You are? What do you say, Thomas?

260
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:38,679
That is?

261
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: It's no ungus And by the way, thanks for throwing

262
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,039
Thanks for throwing under the bus with the Christian Walker

263
00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:47,000
interview people, I was like, oh, that's sports empty curses.

264
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,960
Back in the play, I'm gonna start calling the McTaggart curse,

265
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,960
that's what. Because you got to him before I did, so, well, uh,

266
00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:52,440
I he.

267
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: Wouldn't have talked to him, he probably would have been

268
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,559
doing okay.

269
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: He's been there for two World Series wins. Matt, so,

270
00:11:57,279 --> 00:11:59,960
I don't think there's a Brian McTaggart curse. That feels fair.

271
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,320
Tags really really really safe travels will talk to you

272
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,480
again next week. It Brian McTaggart. Cola icy. I haven't

273
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,279
had icy in the longest time.
