1
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome into another edition of Crush City Territory.

2
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm Channel Room, joined by Tyler Stafford and Josh Reddick.

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: After what was I've been covering the Astros for eight years.

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: I can't remember a three game series quite like the

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: one that they just played against the Baltimore Orioles at

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: Dyke And Park. They were four outs away from getting

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: a perfect game thrown against them on Friday. On Saturday,

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: they played perhaps the worst Major League Baseball game I've

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: ever seen in person this season, and then today they

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: just got absolutely boat raced twelve to nothing to end

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: what was? You know, they went three and three on

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: a six game homestand like, let's say that first, but

13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: it didn't feel like they went three and three. They

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: got out scored forty four to seventeen in the six

15
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: games against the Orioles in the Red Sox. It was.

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: It did not feel like a three and three homestand

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: but uh, that is what the final score is.

18
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: Say.

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: And again, at the end of the season, they don't

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: ask you how they just ask you how many And

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: they got they got three wins, which is really all

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: that matters. But Josh, this was not uh This was

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: not a work of art, this entire home stand and

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: certainly not this series against the.

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: Oorl And they didn't even deserve to win Saturday's game.

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: I mean no, that was a horrible decision by the

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: third basement. Plenty of time to throw home the pictures

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 3: on deck.

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Hitting right right would waiting on deck like so they

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: definitely shouldn't have walked away with that one.

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 3: But yeah, looking back, it feels like they got swept

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: by the Orioles and lost at least five or six

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: at home. So nobody probably rather more happy than everybody

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: in Houston see that that series is being done and

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: over with. You can see chats on the mound twice

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: and that was.

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: Finn mm hmm.

38
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was not something I had on my Bengo

39
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: car that Chaz McCormick would pitch twice in a six

40
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: game stretch. But here we are. I don't really know

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: where to start here. I think we should start with

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: because fans are fans are always want the positive at

43
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: the beginning. Jordon Alvarez is going to play for the

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: Corpus Christy Hooks on Tuesday, which is a very very

45
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: good sign for a lineup that desperately needs an infusion

46
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: of something they need to spark. They need somebody to

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: come back and just energize and mash in this lineup,

48
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: and Jordon Alvarez can be that guy. Joe Spota saying

49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: today that Jordan will report to Corpus Christi on Tuesday

50
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: to start his rehab assignment. For everyone wondering why it

51
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: will not be Monday, Monday is the universal off day

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: for minor leaguers, so no minor league baseball is played

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: on Monday, Alvarez will d h on Tuesday. GM Dana

54
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: Brown said today that he will be off on Wednesday,

55
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: that is planned, and then they're going to play him

56
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: on back to back days Thursday and Friday, see how

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: that goes, and then evaluate. But Tyler, this was the

58
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: news that everyone is waiting for. But I think even

59
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: in my opinion, like I'm still a little skeptical because

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: of the twists and turns this thing is taken. I

61
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna be confident that he's gonna play

62
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: for the Astros until he is in an Astros uniform

63
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: and in a major league line up.

64
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will wait to celebrate until as as we

65
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 4: learned with Uh was it McCormick who or was it

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: Myers that made it out to center field and then

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: didn't even get to play. Yeah, so we're gonna wait

68
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 4: until he swings a bat for the first time in

69
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: an Astros uniform on the field to celebrate. And I

70
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: guess we also need to say, make it through most

71
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: of the game without uh, you know, bubble guts, which

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: is what hit Christian Haavier today. So we we got

73
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: to see him out there. But I mean it's a

74
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: step in the right direction, certainly. And uh, it's just

75
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: about the only good news that came out of this

76
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: weekend that was that was legally baseball that we watched,

77
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: And that's about the nicest thing that I can say

78
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: about that series. That was awful. I mean, I said, look,

79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: I watched every single out of the twenty thirteen season.

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 4: I was in college and MLB used to have a

81
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 4: condensed game that they'd put up after every game that

82
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: was like half an hour and it was literally every out,

83
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: So I watched every what happened? Right, Yeah, Yeah, Well

84
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 4: now they do it, but they're like ten minutes long

85
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: and it kind of skips around. They used to have

86
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: it to where like you saw literally every the end

87
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 4: of every at bat of every game, and so I

88
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: watched all of it, and Friday's game might have been

89
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 4: the worst game i've I've ever seen. That was just

90
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 4: especially with the expect I had a lot of people say, like,

91
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 4: did you watch Matt kin throw up perfect? I'm like,

92
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: Matt Kane was good and the Astros were terrible. This

93
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: is a team that's in first place in the division

94
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 4: against a guy who was zero and ten in his

95
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: first starts in the big leagues, and they they just

96
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 4: looked lost and there was no energy. It was. It

97
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: was awful to watch. And then Saturday they only won

98
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 4: because the Orioles did not want to win. That, I mean,

99
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: that was that was it. I watched them get a

100
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 4: runner on third with no outs in the bottom half

101
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 4: of an extra inning game with the Manford rules and

102
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 4: somehow not score, which I don't even know how that's possible,

103
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 4: and then the only way they won was a botched

104
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 4: double play, which is I mean, that's the perfect way

105
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 4: to end that game. That was just awful baseball all around.

106
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: And today was just unwatchable. I mean, just just a

107
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 4: truly dead team. It was. It was brutal to watch

108
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: this weekend. So yes, jord on coming back is basically

109
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: the only thing that we have to look forward to. Uh.

110
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 4: You mentioned Chas McCormick lower to Zra today to nine, which,

111
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 4: fun fact, is lower than Forrest Whitley's career e RAH

112
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 4: with the Astros. So don't know what to do with

113
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: that information, but I thought everyone should have it because

114
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 4: I know positive to talk about.

115
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: H Josh, I want, I want your opinion on a

116
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: couple things. First, let's get back to Jordan real quick.

117
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: A lot of fans, when you know they're told he's

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: going on a rehab assignment, their first inclination is maybe

119
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: because he's been out so long. Their first inclination is

120
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: why not just get him back in the big league lineup? Like,

121
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: if he's healthy enough to take it bats in Double A,

122
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: he's healthy enough to take it back to the big

123
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: league level. I know that that's faulty logic, but I'm

124
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: speaking from the comment section from people on my social

125
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: media feeds. Can you explain to people why a rehab

126
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: assignment would be required for Jordon Alvarez, who has not

127
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: played in a big league game since May.

128
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: Second, Well, first.

129
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: Of all, you got to make sure you're healthy, like

130
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,559
Speaker 3: you don't want to activate him and then have something

131
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 3: go wrong and have a Jake Myers experience be out

132
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: there in the first first of bat and then you

133
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: got to drop him and then put somebody else in

134
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: there like it was on the basket. Let's just say

135
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: like du Bond has the off day and all of

136
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: a sudden, you were doing you know, your don comes out.

137
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 3: Dude gets in there in before hoole. So if it

138
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: kind of makes sure you're gonna make sure you got

139
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: the right guy healthy. But timing, you gotta get your

140
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: timing back. You know, it doesn't matter if you're facing low,

141
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: a high, a single, a double, a college big league pitching.

142
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: You gotta have your timing back. And that's one thing

143
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: that's all about rehabing hit it. It doesn't matter the results.

144
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: It's all about are you seeing pitches, are you recognizing pitches,

145
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: or you're putting good swings on it. So he can

146
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: go down there for three days and go oh for ten.

147
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: But if he's hitting the ball and having good at bats,

148
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: then you bring him up. So it's all about getting

149
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: your timing and making sure you're healthy.

150
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: That's newly only.

151
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: And the weird thing is like rehab assignments have become

152
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: like less and less in vogue, especially for position players recently,

153
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: because they can do a lot of things. They the

154
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Astros have done it with their guys. They've sent him

155
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Florida and they've had minor league guys throw live VP there.

156
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: You've seen guys. They when they tried with Jord on

157
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: the first time, they brought minor league guys to dike

158
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: In Park to throw live VP to him, and they

159
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: were going to activate him a couple of days later.

160
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: So rehab assignments are by and large kind of going

161
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: by the wayside for position players pitchers. You have to

162
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: do it just because you can't do that at the

163
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: just at the complex, but because he's been out so long, Like, look,

164
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: if Jordon was out for a month, then I could

165
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: get on board with, oh, maybe you can skip a

166
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: rehabit signment. And that's what they were going to do

167
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: the first time he faced live VP at dyke In

168
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: Park and then they figured out his hand was fractured.

169
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: They were going to activate Hi without a rehab assignment.

170
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: But he hadn't been in a big league game since

171
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: May second, So I'm okay. I mean, not that my

172
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: opinion matters, but I think it's duh, like dull, you

173
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: send him on a rehab assignment. This was not a

174
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: situation where you want to take any chances, especially with

175
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: the history that's going on here. And Tyler said one

176
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: other thing about the weekend. You know a couple of

177
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: times referred to them as they look dead, they looked lifeless.

178
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: I and I want a former player's perspective on this.

179
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: I always kind of cringe when I hear that, because

180
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: baseball is the one sport where like, if you're not hitting,

181
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: it obviously looks it doesn't look good, like if you're

182
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: not playing well in football or basketball, Like you can

183
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: still see hustle, you can still see effort, you can

184
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: still see like big hits, Like even the worst, even

185
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: the football teams that win two games every year, you

186
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: can see effort and energy. Same thing with basketball. That's

187
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: just not the case with baseball. So I think a

188
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: lot of times when a team has a bad weekend,

189
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: or when a team has a bad stretch, it's automatically, oh,

190
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: they're lifeless, they have no energy. But it's hard in

191
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: baseball to judge that, just because this is not a

192
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: physical sport. It's not a sport where you are physically

193
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: showing energy. But it's got to take a toll though,

194
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: Josh Right, Like when you've got a weekend like this

195
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: where Friday you almost get perfect game, Saturday you win

196
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: the game, but you play twelve innings and you don't

197
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: play well in those twelve innings, and then Sunday was

198
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: just a disaster, Like like where's the balance there of

199
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: like judging effort as opposed to just this is a

200
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: team that just couldn't hit.

201
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: For three days, and I mean it just breaks down

202
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: to not having being able to hit for three days.

203
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't really.

204
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 3: Think any Maybe if you're going out there feeling feeling dead,

205
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: like you don't have one hundred percent in you, the

206
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: effort level is definitely able to be there, so bad

207
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: stretch and that's what that's the way it looks like.

208
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: It gets magnified more and more as we get into

209
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: the social media and morph camra.

210
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: Angles and everything. So effort level is definitely there.

211
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: But you know, when a team plays bad, it can

212
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: look at look at several different ways how you want

213
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 3: to how you want to do things. So when they're

214
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: not doing anything right, when you're not winning, when they're

215
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: not catching any breaks, everything goes against.

216
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: Them the wrong way.

217
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: It just it looks completely wrong because you're used to

218
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: seeing these guys be so successful, and you know, when

219
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: they came over right after the deadline, they started off

220
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 3: pretty pretty good, so it kind of gave everybody a

221
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: little bit of a boost so about and now they

222
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: kind of do after beating the Red Sox two out

223
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: of three. So it's I think it's just more of

224
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 3: less retired to roller coaster like find it, find it

225
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: even playing to even down on as opposed to these

226
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: you know, gullies and mountains. Just find more of an

227
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: even keel spot, I think is what people want to

228
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: expect to see.

229
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 4: Maybe yeah it was uh yeah, I mean, look, a

230
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 4: lot has happened since Jordon has been out. The last

231
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 4: game we played was May second. Uh to give you

232
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: some context, uh, we didn't even have an American pope yet.

233
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: That was that was a whole week later. That's how

234
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 4: long it's been since Jordon has played Major League baseball,

235
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: which feels like a lifetime ago. But I mean, yeah,

236
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 4: he's gonna need to take some swings in a in

237
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 4: a real game. Get that rhythm going because Josh, as

238
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 4: you said, you know, the the last report was what

239
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 4: he took like eight live at bats in in West Palm.

240
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: I mean he needs to get up, sit back down,

241
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: warm up, you know, get getting in the field. Yeah,

242
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: getting in the field. I mean, as you say, gotta

243
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: wear them cleats around. That's the hardest part.

244
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it's being in shape is a whole lot

245
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: different than being.

246
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: In baseball shape. I mean it's even for a dhre.

247
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: You know, you're on your spikes again consistently, and especially

248
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 3: they're like you're walking around in a dugout the whole time.

249
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: And usually in my league ballpark, those dugouts are linked

250
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 3: to the clubhouses, so you're not you're really stuck where

251
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: you are if you're a d H So it can

252
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 3: get a little little hectic.

253
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: You know, I was never a fan of the d.

254
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: X spot myself, but it takes a special kind of

255
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: crazy to be able to pull off the DH spot.

256
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 3: But you know, you're standing around those spikes man your feet.

257
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: You have to get used to being in for a while,

258
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: because must be real, how many times has you were

259
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: done to put on metal spikes?

260
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: Since many.

261
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 4: Look if the issue is the spikes and a dugout

262
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: is a problem. I am an expert stroller pusher at

263
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: this point. If the Astros need me to come in

264
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: with my double Zoe and just push Jordan around, and

265
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 4: I'm willing to do it. I'll do whatever it takes

266
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 4: to see jord On on a Major League baseball field again.

267
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm happy for the Hooks current roster because

268
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: they're about to eat well for at least three games.

269
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: For as long as he's there, Jordon's gonna treat them

270
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: very well. Good for Waterburger Field, good for the city

271
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: of Corpus Christie because there's about to be a bunch

272
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: of people at that ballpark next week or this coming.

273
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 4: You think he hits a home run because it's very

274
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: hard to do it left handed in Corpus Christie. Have

275
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 4: you played? Have you played there, Josh?

276
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: I think there.

277
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: It's hot, That wind blows like thirty miles an hour in.

278
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: From right eight balls out to left center, well.

279
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 4: Left center, sure, but I need to see him pull

280
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 4: one to right field into that water park over there.

281
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: Probably he definitely could. That's true.

282
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: If there's any left handed hitter that can do it,

283
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: it's this guy. Speaking of lefties, we'll talk about a

284
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: left handed pitcher that spoke for the first time on

285

Speaker 2: That's the first Tyler Stafford promo I've heard is being

313
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: on the show.

314
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, those who didn't really realize this. There's no microphone

315
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 3: hanging from this shirt or a hat or a beanie.

316
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: So I want to say thank you Tyler for donating

317
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: a slowly speaker and getting my twenty fifteen Apple back.

318
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: Up and run mm hmm. And more importantly, Josh just

319
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 4: putting in work on you in Ping pong. That's what

320
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: I want to.

321
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: Wasn't going to come out, but you know what's just

322
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: we're there.

323
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: I want to hear your mouth say it that you

324
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: weren't expecting the challenge you got.

325
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 4: You You were very good. But listen, there's one thing

326
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 4: in the world that I do well, and it is

327
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 4: attempt to play ping pong. I was nervous, but I

328
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: did go over Josh's house and fix his I felt

329
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 4: like the Apple genius over there, just fixing a fixing

330
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 4: a computer, installing a microphone. I'm gonna come over in

331
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 4: troubleshoot it again. Well, we'll get it up and running.

332
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 4: But the record I did three, yeah, yeah, you got one.

333
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: For game two. Southball got me Chamlin. I didn't realize

334
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: it was all speak.

335
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: Speaking of Southball, you played. You played ping pong with

336
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: Josh Hater and Corpus right Tyler.

337
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 4: I did, and Joe Musgrove was the best he was.

338
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: He was the one that did. And but look, I

339
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 4: was the ringer in Corpus Christie. They they'd bring me

340
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: in whenever they got bored playing each other. That's what

341
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: I was expecting. Josh, you were much better than the

342
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: minor leaguers I played in Corpus Christy. I don't know

343
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 4: if that makes you feel any better.

344
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: Uh, I told you Man and Oakland, that's was what

345
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: we had played crisp way too often.

346
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: And got my but I've ever seen in my life, Yeah,

347
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: and that's that's the norm.

348
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: And if you're in my leagues, usually a ping pong

349
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 3: tabler when you're down free time.

350
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: If you've ever been to the Open Coliseum's home side,

351
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: a whole lot going on over there.

352
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 4: Well, I'm now taking all challengers. Any other Major leaguers

353
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: that want to play ping pong, hit me up. Josh

354
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 4: can vouch for me. I am I'm at least good

355
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 4: enough to take on a challenge.

356
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: Well, if another Josh is listening to this, Josh Ader

357
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: will have some time to challenge you to ping pong

358
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: if he so desires, because he will not throw a

359
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: baseball for the next three weeks. After he was diagnosed

360
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: with a left with a sprain of the capsule in

361
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: his left shoulder, he saw it multiple opinions on the injury,

362
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: Josh Hater said without prompt that one of the things

363
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: he was most excited about was that he was able

364
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: to avoid surgery. Then he was asked if surgery was

365
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: on the table. He said no, and it was never

366
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: really discussed, but he basically said that was his biggest

367
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: fear when this happened, that it was going to be

368
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: something that needed surgery and that this was going to

369
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: be a very, very long term thing. As it turns

370
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: out as of this moment, it is not. But Josh

371
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: Hayter I got a I'm just gonna call him hater

372
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: because every time I say Josh like I'm gonna I'm

373
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: gonna look at Retick and this so hater spoke on

374
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: Saturday in the clubhouse, and it was very interesting conversation.

375
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: He said outright that he's thinking about longevity with this,

376
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: and this is a guy that the Ashers have under

377
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: contract for three more years after this one, and he

378
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: made it pretty clear that he is going to be

379
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: very prudent with that in mind, to think of you know,

380
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: not just maybe this season, but the three that follow it.

381
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: That does not mean he's not going to try to

382
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: get back this season. He did all but rule out

383
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: a return this regular season only because he's not throwing

384
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: for three weeks, and that three weeks started now. It

385
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: didn't start, you know, last week when he last pitched.

386
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: That starts now, so he's not throwing for three weeks.

387
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: And then to hear haters say it, he's gonna need

388
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: three more weeks after that to build up the season.

389
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: There's only six weeks left in the regular season.

390
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 4: And that's assuming he's ready to go after three weeks, which.

391
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: Right, And to be clear, Josh Hater did say he's

392
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: going to get more imaging after this three week in

393
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: activity in the three week of no throw, which is

394
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: an important note when you consider the Astro's history of

395
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: reimaging injuries. But Josh Hater said he will get new

396
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: imaging of three weeks after that they'll determine kind of

397
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: what the throwing program looks like. There is a chance

398
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: he would return for a potential postseason series. Hater said

399
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: that that is something that he would like to do.

400
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: He would like to be a part of the playoff push.

401
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: But he made it pretty clear that he's not gonna

402
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: be stupid with this, like he is not going to

403
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: rush should he, because again, he has got to think

404
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: about what the future is these next three years under contract,

405
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: and they've invested a lot of money in him. He

406
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: is very he is a guy that wants to make

407
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: a return on that investment. He's been very very clear

408
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: about that that the Astros committed to him. He wants

409
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: to commit to them as much as possible, and sometimes

410
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: that means you got to sacrifice maybe a short term

411
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: goal for the greater good. And that's the vibe I

412
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: got from him. I'm not here to tell you that

413
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: he's never pitching again this season. If everything goes right

414
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: and he feels right and the Astros are still in

415
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: this thing and toward the beginning middle of October, I

416
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: see a situation where it could happen. But I would

417
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: proceed very cautiously with any thought that Josh Hater is

418
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 1: going to pitch agin for this team this season. And

419
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: Josh Reddick, I think that's the prudent way to look

420
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: at it. And you're somebody that you were on a

421
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: four year deal. Once you're on a four year free

422
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: agent deal, once you understand when a team commits to

423
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: you kind of the response, you also have to commit

424
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: back to them. I think this is a prudent way

425
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: to look at it. By Hater for sure.

426
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean, fans may not want to

427
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: hear this, but you know, winning is very important, but

428
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you got to look

429
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: out for yourself, Like if you want to continue to

430
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: stay in this game and succeed at it, you got

431
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 3: to look out for yourself because I've I've been on

432
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 3: both into that I've been to where I've come back

433
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: way too early where I shouldn't have and it affected

434
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: my performance. And then there's been you know since that,

435
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 3: since that injury, it was always about you know, making

436
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: sure that I'm going to come back ready to go,

437
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: and that was I love though he's saying all of

438
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 3: these things, talking about being committed to the team, being

439
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 3: committed to himself as well, because yeah, he does.

440
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 2: Have three more years. If it was a one year,

441
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: two year deal, you know what, maybe it's a different story.

442
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 3: But this is a guy that they need for three

443
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: more years after this, and they've got a very capable

444
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 3: guy to close games for him while he's gone. Ryder

445
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: Brady should be able to step up no problem in

446
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: this role. But for Hater to come out and say

447
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 3: these things, probably, I think that's the best thing for him, and.

448
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 6: I love I said he's going to get more imaging

449
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 6: done three weeks too, I mean, just because for him,

450
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 6: Like you know, I've talked about this podcast, like it's

451
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 6: not just always about the training staff or the medical staff,

452
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 6: like at some point it's about the player too.

453
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: You have to look up for what's best for you,

454
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 2: whether they tell you it's okay or not.

455
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: Like, no, it's up to me. This is my body,

456
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: this is my investment, my money. My body is worth

457
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 3: all this money. I'm gonna make sure I get it right.

458
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: So good on him to make sure he gets everything

459
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 3: where he needs to be. But you know, regular seasons

460
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: out for sure. I love it, and three weeks could

461
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: line up perfectly for him to come back. For those

462
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 3: that don't know, there's plenty of injections to get in

463
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 3: this game, especially when October rolls around, that make you

464
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: feel better.

465
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 4: Than Superman, better than Spider Man, Yeah, No, better than Superman, Tyler, Yeah.

466
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: I mean, look, if he can pitch in October, that

467
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 4: would be a straight up miracle. I am just assuming

468
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 4: that that is not happening. I mean, that would be incredible.

469
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 4: But I did just google shoulder capsule strain and the

470
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 4: top result is from the Cleveland Clinic. Uh, and it

471
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 4: is called frozen shoulder, which I don't like the sound

472
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 4: of that, Folks, that's what my wife gives me. Am

473
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 4: I right, I don't have that problem, right? Uh? And

474
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 4: it takes a whole lot longer than three weeks to

475
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 4: fix that. Uh, sorry, Alicia, I know you listen to this,

476
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 4: love you, but seriously, yeah, no, it's not good. Look,

477
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 4: it's it's it's not good. He throws the baseball with

478
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 4: that shoulder. I don't know if you've noticed. So it's

479
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 4: it's gonna be very tough for him to come back.

480
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: But again, the the best news is that it's not

481
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 4: something that needs surgery and he's out all of next

482
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 4: year already. Now that could happen. We we could get

483
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 4: imaging in three weeks and.

484
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 3: So Google says surgery through six weeks, three months.

485
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 4: So okay, Google says it. I mean, at this point

486
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: they might do imaging and find Jordan's broken bone in

487
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 4: his shoulder. So who knows what's gonna happen, Yes, exactly, Yeah,

488
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 4: somehow it's transferred into his shoulder. But yeah, I mean,

489
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 4: just hoping for the best. It's funny to say that

490
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 4: this is best case scenario, but I mean when it

491
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 4: came out and it's shoulder capsule and you're like, oh goodness,

492
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 4: this might be something that he's gone for a while with.

493
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 4: I mean, even the hope of maybe he can pitch

494
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 4: at the end of the playoffs is much better than

495
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 4: I was expecting when when all this was announced.

496
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: His first trip to the disabled Ministry, whatever you call it.

497
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, his career, right, he has been. He has been

498
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: the portrait of health. He did go I mean he

499
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: went on the COVID IL in twenty it doesn't count

500
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: he tested positive for COVID, but this is the first

501
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: physical ailment that has sent him to the has been.

502
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: That's a good sign too that this could be, you know,

503
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: the first minor step for him to come back. So

504
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 2: that's a really good time to do the first one.

505
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: And I think it's interesting to talk about it in

506
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: the prism of you know, we we just said he

507
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: had never been on the IL in a nine year

508
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: major league career. He has been more open in his

509
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: year and a half with the Astros to throwing multiple innings.

510
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: This was something that he when he was his tail

511
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: end of his career with the Brewers and then with

512
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: the Padres, he told them I'm only throwing one inning.

513
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: And it was in part because of some things that

514
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: he felt were wronged to him in arbitration, which that's

515
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: a whole nother podcast topic. Yes, and one correct and

516
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: the other. The other one was that he wanted to

517
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: protect him he wanted to protect his health. He said

518
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: that on the record that he wanted to preserve his

519
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: health for when he went to free agency and went

520
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: to free agency got the massive contract from the Astros,

521
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: and then when the Astros gave him that contract, he said,

522
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: as we started the segment with you know, they committed

523
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: to me, so I'm going to commit to them and

524
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: be available in whatever capacity. He went more than one

525
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: inning seven times last season and went more It has

526
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: gone more than one inning seven times this season and

527
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: after the last one was his last outing was a

528
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: two inning, thirty six pitch appearance at Yankee Stadium. Hater

529
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: said he woke up the next morning feeling sore, but

530
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: you're supposed to feel sore when you pitch. Every pitcher

531
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: wakes up the next morning feeling sore. That's not an

532
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: indictment on anything. He warmed up on Sunday to get

533
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: into the game. Astros scored four runs in the ninth inning,

534
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: so the safe situation went away, so Hater didn't pitch,

535
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 1: but he kind of intimated that he felt good warming

536
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: up in the bullpen, but again had the normal kind

537
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: of soreness that you always kind of have got to

538
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: the ballpark Monday, was doing some ply of work and said,

539
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, he felt something that he knew was not right.

540
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: And he even said, he goes, I know what general

541
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: soreness feels like, I know what muscle fatigue feels like.

542
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: He goes, this felt different. So it does beg the

543
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: question like, is he done throwing multiple innings or do

544
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: we think that for the next Because we just talked

545
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: about is he is approaching this rehab as a guy

546
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: that's balancing the present and the future because he knows

547
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: he has three more years left on this contract. Do

548
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: you think we see him make himself as available as

549
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: he has been the first year and a half, or

550
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: do you think this is something that could impact whether

551
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: he's willing or whether the Astros are willing to throw

552
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: him for multiple innings.

553
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 4: I think once he's healthy, he's going to pitch as

554
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 4: much as his arm doesn't hurt. I mean, obviously in

555
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 4: the short term he's not going to be doing multiple innings.

556
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 4: But I mean, you know, in July of next year,

557
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 4: of his arms feeling fine, don't I don't see that

558
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 4: being an issue, especially because I don't think that's what

559
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 4: caused this pre Again, gosh, hater is not incapable of

560
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 4: throwing thirty five pitches. Relievers are not like magically weaker

561
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 4: than starting. It's just a different build up and the

562
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 4: way that you pitch. But I know I've talked about this,

563
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 4: but I watched this man throw a hundred pitches in

564
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 4: Corpus Christy. He is capable of doing it. That's just

565
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 4: hasn't been the role that he's been in. So yeah,

566
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 4: I mean, once once he's feeling better, I don't see

567
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 4: that being an issue. But right now, I just want

568
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 4: him to throw one pitch for the Astros. That's that's

569
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 4: all I care about right now, high fatall, Yeah, sure,

570
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 4: I don't care. He can pick any of them all,

571
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 4: all two of his pitches. He can pick one of them. No,

572
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 4: he does not. He does about once a week and

573
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: step the box and oh oh no.

574
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: I mean I know you would argue about it.

575
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 4: Let's go no, oh my gosh, pee my pants in

576
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 4: the left handed batter's box against no chance am I

577
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 4: stepping in.

578
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: It was interesting to hear because he was asked, you know,

579
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: whether he thought the workload and whether he thought the

580
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: change in usage contributed to this, and I mean he

581
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: said what he had to say, he goes, how can

582
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: it not? I mean, it's obvious, like they're like when

583
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: you change that much, And and just the role of

584
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: a reliever as well, and John and Hater even said this,

585
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 1: you know the role of a reliever inherently, like you

586
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: don't get a ton of rest, Like you are available

587
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: most nights. Like the only time you know you're not

588
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: available is when you've pitched two straight games. You're not

589
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: You're not going to go three in a row unless

590
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: it's in September or unless it's in the postseason. So row,

591
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: So inherently, you know, usage probably the usage impacted. But

592
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: to say, and again, I want to make this clear,

593
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: to say that he strained his shoulder, he sprained the

594
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: capsule in his shoulder because he threw thirty six pitches

595
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: and two innings in Yankee Stadium. It's just that's not true.

596
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: That's just not you know, pitching is an unnatural art.

597
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to be able to do this. And

598
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: pictures break down. Pictures are built to break down. And

599
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: as we said on the last pod, it is a

600
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: minor miracle that Hater did not require a trip to

601
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: the injured list before this, Like that speaks to his preparation,

602
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: It speaks to his body, how well he takes care

603
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: of his body. Quite frankly, it speaks to a little

604
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: bit of luck because.

605
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: You got a free being a little bit of a

606
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: freak freakish get away with it.

607
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is a freak, big freak. Josh, how many

608
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: how many no hitters have you played? In?

609
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: Two? One by jv in Toronto, then combined one at home.

610
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

611
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: The Sanchez be a genie da Vinsky Harris.

612
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I.

613
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: Had one in Boston, never had one in Open La

614
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 3: or obviously god Arizona.

615
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 4: You weren't on the wrong side of one. No, never, Wow,

616
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: you were always getting hits.

617
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: Actually came to was in Dodger Town, Dodger Stadium. I

618
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 3: didn't play Matt Moore to eight and two thirds perfect

619
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 3: gettings against this, and then Corey Seeger got a blue

620
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: pit with two strikes in the night.

621
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: Oh, it was perfect. That was perfect.

622
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: It was perfect.

623
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: It might have might have been, but I'm pretty sure

624
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: it was perfect, like one hundred and thirty pitcher like

625
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: semi perfect.

626
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 4: Eating appreciate it, I mean, without looking at up, can

627
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 4: either one of you say the man's name who almost

628
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 4: threw a perfect game against the Astros two days ago.

629
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't.

630
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: I just morgane't know.

631
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 4: I don't remember his first name, his last names Young?

632
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 4: What's his first name?

633
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: Change?

634
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: Brandon?

635
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 4: Oh, good job, look at us. We almost got it.

636
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Young and undrafted. Uh, I mean this was it

637
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: would have.

638
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 2: That's why they made him looks so good.

639
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: That's their I don't think it's hype. I don't think

640
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: it's hyperbole to say if he would have finished that

641
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: perfect game, it would have been maybe the most unlikely

642
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: event in baseball history.

643
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 4: Philip Bumber was pretty bad.

644
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: Hold on, Philip Bumber was a dog.

645
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: He was pretty dark, good for a little while. Like

646
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 2: phil Humber wasn't bad always. Yeah, he just said he

647
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: said my man to start. Yeah, like, like.

648
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: You, Darbus is out there and throw twenty thirteen pitched

649
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 3: into the trash.

650
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: Shows Like Philip Umber was a first round pick. Yeah, like,

651
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: I get it, he didn't have a good big league career,

652
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: But like that dude was a first That dude was talented.

653
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 4: And I'm not third overall pick.

654
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to sit here in trash. Brandon Young,

655
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: who threw the game of his life on Friday, and

656
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: that that kid deserves a ton of credit. But like that,

657
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: it's not hyperbole to say that would have been one

658
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: of the most unlikely events in baseball history when you

659
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: put it all together. A first place team, a team

660
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: that I know there's gonna be a lot of people

661
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: that that roll their eyes at this, but have the

662
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: second highest batting average in the American League. This is

663
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: a team that can't hit, Like I know, they didn't

664
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: show it this weekend, but they can hit. They've got

665
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: at least one Hall of Famer in the lineup every day.

666
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, maybe they'll have a couple more by the

667
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: time they're all the careers shake out, but they're starting

668
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer every day. And the Orioles completely

669
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: sold at the deadline, are a shell of themselves. And

670
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: to watch that unfold was one of I've never been

671
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: more stunned in in a ballpark than I was watching that.

672
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: And then if he sets his feet on that PfP

673
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: like it, I'm convinced he gets it or it worse.

674
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: If he doesn't rush he gets them by like two

675
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: or three.

676
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 4: Steps, yeah, I mean, or if he makes it look worse.

677
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 4: It was. It was the perfect combination of like he

678
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 4: was close enough that they could rule it a hit,

679
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 4: but if he just like eats it coming off the mound,

680
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 4: maybe they they give him an error or something. But

681
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 4: I mean, gosh, that that was awful to watch, Like

682
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 4: I watched the whole you Darvish Marwin Gonzales perfect game breakup.

683
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 4: But that team was garbage. Like like you said, the

684
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 4: Astros are a good team, they just I mean, they

685
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 4: looked like they were sleepwalking. What do you have like

686
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 4: sixty pitches in the seventh inning? Like he was just

687
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 4: steam rolling everybody.

688
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: And you got I mean, Josh, did you Josh, did

689
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: you watch it? Did you watch the highlights? Okay, from

690
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: what you saw from the highlights, like was it good stuff?

691
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: Because I couldn't really tell, Like, I mean, he look

692
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: he commanded it very well, like he had great command.

693
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 2: I just I think guys just got over anxious.

694
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 3: It just felt like the team was just over anxious

695
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 3: in the box, Like you know, I just didn't feel

696
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 3: like everybody had the right approach, and this kid was

697
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: just where the guys had their off night.

698
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: He was head on his off night.

699
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 3: And that's what you get when you get everybody that's

700
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 3: off their night and you can throw everything well, because

701
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 3: in baseball you can have a horrible day and a

702
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 3: pitcher still throw on and you just get lucky and

703
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 3: slap it and the other way. When you have those

704
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 3: kind of games where this guy's literally pitching his butt

705
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 3: out and you're just up there trying to grind to

706
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 3: touch the baseball, it becomes a whole different factor.

707
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 4: No, he did not have great stuff. Let me go

708
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 4: on the record for that. That was not a man

709
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 4: just dominating. No, it was just a garbage approach for

710
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 4: the Astros were just embarrassing. It was so bad, I

711
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 4: mean it was. It was awful. That was not Look,

712
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 4: no disrespect to Lumberton High School legend Brandon Young, but

713
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 4: that was not him dominating a team that was just awful,

714
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 4: awful hitting all around. It was. It was bad man

715
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 4: that I am. I don't know, I don't I don't

716
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 4: ever want to see that again. That was That was rough.

717
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 4: Fun fun fact. He has literally the worst off speed

718
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 4: run value of anyone in UH baseball for for stack cast,

719
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 4: he was in the first person. It's bad. I mean, yeah,

720
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 4: so look, congrats to him. That was awesome. His parents

721
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 4: were there, I believe which is awesome.

722
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: His mom was pissed.

723
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 4: Well, she's upset. She spent all this time going to

724
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 4: his games, and he came and through a perfect game.

725
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 4: Think of how many ponies.

726
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 2: Perfect baseball? And then I yelled at when, yeah.

727
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 4: I would, I wanted. I was expecting to leave in

728
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 4: the fourth when you got yanked after giving up seven runs.

729
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 4: He made me sit here the whole game.

730
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: And then like, I mean, Josh, I'm sure you can

731
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: attest to this. You've never played in one against you,

732
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: but like it's got to creep ano their mind too.

733
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: They're probably looking up in like the fifth inning, and

734
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: it's like they maybe don't know what perfect game is

735
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: going on. They're probably like they.

736
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 4: I'd know in the second inning if if I'd made

737
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 4: it that far.

738
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 3: Rolls around to talk about it, but everybody's watching them.

739
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 3: It's definitely thought about it. And then as obviously as

740
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: the innings go on, I mean, everybody gets it. Everybody

741
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: sees that big fat goose egg up there, and you know,

742
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 3: everybody realizes and recognize that you're sending three guys at

743
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 3: the plate and putting your glove right back on.

744
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 4: I needs collectively to take a real big nap and

745
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 4: come back in the next series. Rested because they they

746
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 4: looked like they were just sleeping this whole weekend. It

747
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 4: was now granted they may all have the Black plague. Chandler,

748
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 4: how are you feeling you've been in the clubhouse, are

749
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 4: you How'd you tell me?

750
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: I'm fine. I don't know if it's that either. But

751
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: like Painia didn't play Friday, got in the game at

752
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: the end Saturday because he was dealing with something. Christian

753
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: Xavier left today's game with what they described as an illness.

754
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: Joe Spota, it was a very odd post game today.

755
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here trying to play conspiracy theorist. I'm

756
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: really not, Don't get me wrong. I'm just gonna tell

757
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: you what happened. Joe Aspada said that, you know, Christian

758
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: Javier just came off the mound and said he didn't

759
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: feel well. We tried to ask, you know, did he

760
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: report to the ballpark sick, and just all they would

761
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: say was he came off the mound, said he didn't

762
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: feel well, and then in the clubhouse we were told

763
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: that he was off site seeing doctor, so he would

764
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: not speak to the media. It is worth noting that

765
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: the velocity on all of his pitches was down around

766
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: two miles an hour. Again, if he's fatigued, that can't

767
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: happen from an illness, like if he really if he's

768
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 1: sick and he's fatigued, that that happens. And Christian Haavier

769
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 1: is also a pitcher, that velocity doesn't really matter with him.

770
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: Like obviously, if he's throwing eighty six, it's a problem.

771
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: But because of the extension, because of the IVB and

772
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: the Hoppy gets on the fastball, like he can throw

773
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 1: ninety one and it's still and it comes in looking

774
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: ninety five ninety six. He can have success when his

775
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: velocity is down. He saw it today. Yeah, you know,

776
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: he got through those three innings and I think you

777
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: want to give up one run, Yeah, because the Sanchez

778
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: rob the Grand Slam. But I mean it was very odd,

779
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully for Christian Hoavier's sake, it is

780
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: just a virus or a thing that he can pass

781
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: in twenty four to forty eight hours and be fine.

782
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: But just very odd all around it. It didn't have

783
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: great vibes after the game.

784
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it was not good. Now listen, the Astros

785
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 4: medical staff has been under quite a bit of heat

786
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 4: this year. I would say the issue has been incompetence,

787
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 4: not lying. If he came off and said I don't

788
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 4: feel well, and Joe Spotta said he doesn't feel well.

789
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 4: He's seeing a doctor because he doesn't feel well, I

790
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 4: am inclined to believe that. I don't think that if

791
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 4: his arm was hurting, they would make up a lie

792
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 4: about him not feeling well. I think he just came

793
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 4: off and didn't feel good, and that's what it is.

794
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 4: And so until we hear otherwise, that's I will give

795
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 4: them the benefit of the doubt on that side of things.

796
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 4: Of I assumed that you were telling the truth about that,

797
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 4: because there's no reason to lot like it was arm

798
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 4: was hurting. They would say he's got a case of

799
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 4: the arm hurts or whatever, and then do some imaging

800
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 4: in a week. But that's that's not what happened. Yeah, sure, whatever,

801
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean that that stuff happens. I get it.

802
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 4: We also know he loves coffee, so maybe it was

803
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 4: just running through him. We've all been there, you know. Look,

804
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 4: he'll be all right, hopefully, hopefully it's just an illness thing.

805
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 4: But yeah, so.

806
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 2: You never know. Man, you're always around those guys working out, sweating,

807
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: everything gets into the scenity of everybody. So maybe he

808
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: just caught it.

809
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: And were you on the team when Brad Peacock had

810
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: to go on the ile with handfoot and mouth disease?

811
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 4: And now as a parent, you know how terrifying that is,

812
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 4: very terrifying. It's so scary.

813
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got it from his kids, Like you guys

814
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: didn't like obviously, like you guys didn't let him come

815
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: to the clubhouse for like, I didn't see Brad Peacock

816
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: for like three weeks because he had hand foot and

817
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: mouth disease. So it gets, uh, it gets weird in there.

818
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: Mentioned maybe they can get some sleep for the next series.

819
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: It's not going to be easy. They are going to

820
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: go to Detroit and go play three games at Camerica

821
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: Park against a J. Hinch Trek. They're gonna get. They'll

822
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: get Trek's schoobl on Tuesday against Tunn Brown and what

823
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,959
Speaker 1: will be that will be must see television Terrek School

824
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: one Hunter Brown probably one two on a lot of

825
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: cy Young ballots right now. If you look at all

826
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 1: the counting stats, the Astros damaged Garrett Crochets, cy Young

827
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,959
Speaker 1: candidacy on this home stand. That was probably the lone

828
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: positive to come out of it was that they did that.

829
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: But Detroit is they're just they're really good. They're a

830
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: tough out. You look at their lineup, you look at that.

831
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: Obviously they have Trek School, who is the best pitcher

832
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: in baseball. They don't have a ton on the position

833
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: player side that that jumps out at you as like, oh, man,

834
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: like this dude's a superstar. You know, Riley Green was

835
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: an All Star, but he's had a pretty terrible second half.

836
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: Haaby Bayaz was an All Star center fielder. Who knows

837
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: where he'll be playing when they get there, you know.

838
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: But it's a team that does a lot of things

839
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: really well. They're just they they seize every platoon advantage.

840
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: They you know, AJ runs a lot of like mix

841
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: and match lineups. He finds spots with his bullpen where

842
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: he can match great. I mean, Josh, you play for AJ,

843
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: you know how great of attack, tiss and a strategist

844
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: he is in game in late game, there's gonna be

845
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: a tough test. They get Jack Flaherty on Monday, they

846
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: get Terry Scoobell on Tuesday, and then on Wednesday, a matchup

847
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 1: of the two Astros World Series winning pitchers, Charlie Morton

848
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: against from Er Beldez Man Charlie Good. Charlie Morton, what

849
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: a great human being.

850
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 2: Every day every day walking. How you doing, Chuck today?

851
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 3: Maybe today read for what arm blows out?

852
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like he is reluctantly pitching,

853
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 4: like I think he wanted to retire five years ago,

854
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 4: and he just keeps accidentally being good at baseball, and

855
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 4: he keeps like having to go out there.

856
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 2: Realized that his ball moves this much in ninety four

857
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: miles an hour.

858
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he really turned it around too. Because if

859
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 1: you watched him in April with the Oriels, the team

860
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: the Astro just saw you, you'd probably thought his career

861
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: was over. And to watch him turn around and get

862
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: traded at the deadline to a contender, good for good

863
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: for Charlie Morton. One of the best people in baseball,

864
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: one the best people you'll ever meet in the sports.

865
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: So it'll be a tough one for the Astros coming up,

866
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: you know. And then they go from Detroit and they

867
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: get four games against the same Orioles team that just

868
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: did not show much fear uh this weekend and taking

869
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: a series at Didyk and Park, so it'll be, uh,

870
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: it'll be an interesting one. If you've got time to

871
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: pass and if you've got disposable income that you'd like to,

Speaker 1: Astros do against and fellow American League contender in Detroit,

899
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: and then who knows, maybe Brandon Young. We'll pitch again

900
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: in Baltimore and we'll get to see some history against

901
