1
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: What's up everybody. Welcome into another edition of Crush City Territory.

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm Channel Room, joined by Tyler Stafford and back on

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: the mainland, Josh Reddick, Josh, how was your adventure on

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: the seas and then did you Did you come out

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: on top?

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: So, yeah, it was actually a great trip, several stops,

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: but yeah, I'm a little more tan. I took plenty

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: plenty good usage of the drink package. Abused it actually

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: because that's what it's there for. And yeah, for about

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: the first eight days, I was down about one thousand,

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: which pretty good for seven days for you know, for

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: gambling for me. So going to the last day and

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: I'm playing table games all WEEKU Roulette's my game. I'm

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: playing a little blackjack here, but mainly Roulette, and I

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: go play like three slot machines. Last night there went

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: eleven hundred bucks cash out left went to the bar,

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: so I was up one hundred. So it came up

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: one hundred, which is, you know, always a great thing.

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 2: You want to come up up and it doesn't matter

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: as long as you're in the positive.

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: Baby, if I had if I had two five year

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: old twins with me on a on a cruise for

23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: eight days. I probably do the same thing. But I'm

24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: sure you're I'm sure your kids had a great time though.

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: And on top of that, I actually won some money

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: in Vegas without even being there. I had a friend

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: there put put some money on a number on roulette,

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: and we ended up hitting everyone Reggie Miller and win

29
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: me thirty five hundred bucks. I put one hundred dollars

30
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: on it.

31
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: So that seems pretty good.

32
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: But I was up before I got on the boat,

33
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: so that was a nice, nice start.

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: If only we could all be so lucky.

35
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen a whole lot.

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you you didn't get crossed up by the table games,

37
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: did you?

38
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: I did not. I don't play craps. Doesn't even cross

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: me up like crazy.

40
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 3: Speak speaking of. Doesn't matter how you end up winning,

41
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: as long as you get there. That game last night,

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: I was it's a heart attack at the end, but

43
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: counts the same, right.

44
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: I guess we now know why Joe Aspata is so

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: beholden to using his closer in four run games when

46
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: they're not in situations that stuff can happen. That was

47
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: a that was something. Uh, there was an up show

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: in the eighth inning, Brian Walsh had a terrible night

49
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: behind the plate. Both ways, wait.

50
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: And I'm tired making it about themselves. No.

51
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Then Adrian Johnson, the crew chief, came in and was

52
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: like shoeing coaches back into the Yankee dugout like it

53
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: was a It was a It was an odd night,

54
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: but it was one that the Ashers needed because I

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: think with the hooplah of what went on on Tuesday.

56
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: You know, Joe Aspada opened his pregame news conference on Wednesday.

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: Basically it wasn't a prepared statement. He wasn't reading it

58
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: from a phone or anything, but you could tell he

59
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: had kind of thought about how he was going to

60
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: address what happened with Fromberveldes and say Sar Salazar basically

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: talk for about a minute and said, you know, I

62
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: talked to both guys. I respect both guys. I would

63
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: hope they're telling the truth. I hope they're telling you

64
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: guys the truth. He did bring up some things that

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: he said he had heard about that were not true

66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: that we're floating out there. When I asked what those

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: things were, Joe spot I didn't want to divulge, but

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, at the end of

69
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: the statement, what he said was, I want to put

70
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: it behind us. I want to move on. Put it

71
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: behind us. Easiest way to put this stuff back, Like

72
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: the great thing about baseball is baseball allows for a

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: short news cycle because you're going to play the next day. Like,

74
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: the easiest way to move past what happened on Tuesday

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: is to go out on Wednesday and win. And doesn't

76
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: matter how they did it doesn't matter how they got there.

77
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: They ended the game on Wednesday with one more run

78
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: than the Yankees. It helps, it helps to move on.

79
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: It helps to you know, shift the narrative away from

80
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: everything that went on on Tuesday. However, because this is

81
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: a podcast and because we enjoy uh, we enjoy getting

82
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Josh's insight, Josh, we have not talked to you since

83
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: it all went down. The cross up heard around the city.

84
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: Your your reaction, both maybe in the moment when you

85
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: first saw it and now having about twenty four hours

86
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: to process what happened, Your reaction to what happened between

87
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: frombervel does and saysar Salazar on Tuesday at Dyke and park.

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: Man, there's a lot of words to describe that pretty

89
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: much unacceptable. I mean, you can say what you want

90
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: about it wasn't intentional. I mean, you look at everything

91
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: about it. It was it looked intentional, and you get

92
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: reactions from you know, there's players that played this game

93
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: for so long reacting on social media to all of

94
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: this stuff. And if you're a former player, you know

95
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: that was pretty much a cheap shot. You know, the

96
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: way he reacts after he throws the baseball, he doesn't

97
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: even look concerned, like doesn't even like, oh crap, one

98
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: of those. So it's kind of pretty obvious what happens.

99
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: So you can understand the frustrations going around. But in

100
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 2: these situations, usually you're going to get that media friendly

101
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: answer that it wasn't on purpose, and you know, blah

102
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: blah blah. But you know, Joe's right, You got to

103
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: move on, and you know, like you said, it's it's

104
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: a short memory game. So you go back and get

105
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: a win. It's a better move because if you lose

106
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: and you go, oh, is this an ill effective last

107
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: night's situation blah blah blah, then that could blow up

108
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: into something if you go on a big slump. So

109
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: it was good for him to get a win, win

110
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: a series. Today it could pretty much almost be forgotten

111
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: about until Farmer's next start, because obviously that's gonna be

112
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: something that probably comes up in conversation at some point

113
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: when he takes them mount the next time.

114
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I did think I want I want you

115
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: to weigh in on this too. I thought it was very interesting.

116
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: It's our Salazar took out the lineup guard last night

117
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: before the game to the to meet the home plate mpires.

118
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: Usually that's eyewashed. Usually it's just, you know, you pick

119
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: who's closest to the dugout. The Astros have had a

120
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: bunch of different guys carry out the lineup card this year.

121
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: Steven Oker did it for like five games when they

122
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: were winning. It can be just like a fun thing

123
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: to do. But my reading too much into that to

124
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: think that again, I'm as I said yesterday, I'm not

125
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: here to judge intent on anyone's part, whether whether the

126
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: pitch from or threw or last night Cesar Salads are

127
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: taking the lineup card out. Just like I wouldn't judge

128
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: intent on the pitch, I'm not going to try to

129
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: judge intent on on that decision. But you know, the

130
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: irony is too much to ignore that after all of

131
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: that Saysar Salasar is the guy that emerges and takes

132
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: the lineup card to home plate.

133
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: So I didn't watch last night like a did they

134
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: cheer for him when they saw him.

135
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: Just no one knowing that's the thing, no one.

136
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 2: I mean, I I took the lineup card out a

137
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: lot when I played Melvin Bob, Melvin let me do

138
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: it a lot. I took it out for AJ plenty

139
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,119
Speaker 2: of times as well. But I mean, that's just another

140
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: thing in baseball where like we're gonna try something different.

141
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: And I guess maybe it was his turn in the

142
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: rotation and the irony just kind of happened to be

143
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: there at that time. But I remember all the time

144
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: guys were taking out just trying to switch it up,

145
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: give some win streaks. And like you said, when Okra

146
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: took it out for five or six games, they were winning.

147
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: It's not stupid if it works. I mean, that's that's

148
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: the way we look at it. It's so But that's

149
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: the only time I've ever heard of taking up a

150
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: lot of car was just to get the boys going.

151
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: It was really the only reason.

152
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: What if you if you were in the Astros clubhouse

153
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Tuesday night again, I'm not. This is not a speculatory

154
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: This is not a speculative podcast. I don't come on

155
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: here and and give opinions. I don't come on here

156
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: and speculate. I only tell you what I know. I

157
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: do know there was some anger in there. I don't

158
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: know everything that went down. I'm not going to sit

159
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: here and try to, you know, play like I was

160
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse in the immediate aftermath of the game.

161
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: But Josh, how do you handle that situation Tuesday night?

162
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: You come in the clubhouse, do you. I'm sure they

163
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: knew kind of on the field what had happened, but

164
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: like I'm sure they all ran to their phones once

165
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: they saw the videos going out there it again, the

166
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: optics of how it looked were not favorable.

167
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: No, And I'm I would hope that that would not

168
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: be the first thing they went when they got done

169
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: with that game, was straight to the phones. I feel

170
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: like that was probably something as soon as everybody got

171
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: in the clubhouse and some stuff started to unravel. I'm

172
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: sure there was a shouting matter two, just from what

173
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: I've seen in the past. Fortunately enough for me, you know,

174
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: I've had enough veteran pitchers who would have stepped in

175
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: and had that handled before the game was even over,

176
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: so it wouldn't be a clubhouse scene. We won't name

177
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: any names, but you know, there's been plenty of names

178
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: that come through that clubhouse that would everybody knows would

179
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: have nipped that in the bud, and a former catcher

180
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: as well, probably would not let them get off the

181
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: field if that happened. But yeah, I felt like guys

182
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: with enough experience would have had that handled in a

183
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: different way. But you know, you never we can never

184
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: know what really happened because you know, and I'll still

185
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: live back to this day what happened to the clubhouse

186
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: days in the clubhouse with the boys. We'll tell the

187
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: media whatever they want to hear and move on from

188
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: that because that's what we need to do. But we

189
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: will never know. But if you can, if you can,

190
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: can speculate, and I will not. Since he covered himself

191
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: on that one, I'm sure there was some yelling going on.

192
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 2: That's as expected as you would hope that would happen.

193
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 3: Do you think that this is like done in the club?

194
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: You know?

195
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 3: Are are they Are they able to move on like

196
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: next promber start? Is this an issue going forward? I

197
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: mean obviously there's kind of a timeline of all right,

198
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: his contract's up. You know, this isn't somebody that's staying

199
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: around for you know, a long time. But is this

200
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: something that carries over in the in the clubhouse, or

201
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 3: that will win yesterday just kind of wipe everything from

202
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: everybody's mind, and they're just moving on.

203
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: I think they do move on. I mean, things like

204
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: this kind of can be a big ball of fire

205
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: when it does happen, but they tend to fall off

206
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 2: pretty pretty dark quick. When you start winning too, it

207
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: makes it a whole lot easier, but you know, it's

208
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: something you can't really dwell on, and you know, for

209
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: all we know, you know stays our styles are. I

210
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: might not catch him ever again. That would be the

211
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: hopeful point hopeful thing at this point or just but

212
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: I don't see it happening again to anybody, whether Salazar

213
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: does catch him or not, because I mean, if it

214
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: happens again, I feel like that would be the final straw.

215
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: You might see Korea come in and goldberg sperim off

216
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: the mountain of game if he does do that again.

217
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: So I think they can move on from this, you know,

218
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: I think they do. Maybe look at Fromber a little

219
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: different as a teammate and a and a player just

220
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: because of that move. I think that does change from

221
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 2: a lot of perspective on how they see him in

222
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: the clubhouse now. But I think once he's out there,

223
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: you know, it's you're our guy out there. Will compete

224
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: with you for as long as you're out there, but

225
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: after that we might not be able to be the

226
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: friendliest of friends anymore.

227
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like and like I said yesterday, you know,

228
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: if any team like knows how to manage and handle Fromber,

229
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: it's this one. I mean, they've they've seen him from

230
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: the beginning, like they have seen him, you know, they've

231
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: seen him have some of these you know, issues in

232
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: the past, and they've seen him grow and mature. Like

233
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: the guys in there know how to handle Now. Granted,

234
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: this was something that maybe you know, if you believe

235
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: it was intentional, it certainly exceeds anything else that has happened.

236
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: But this is they know how to handle him. They know,

237
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: they know kind of how to coexist. They've made it

238
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: work now for going on eight years, and it's it's

239
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: worked pretty well. Like he's gone out and he's pitched

240
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: well and they've managed to avoid things like this. But yeah, again,

241
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: I think baseball, and that's where I love about baseball.

242
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: That's why I could never like cover the NFL, because

243
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: you just sit around for six days like waiting for

244
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: the game, and then the game happens, and then you

245
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: sit around for six more days like new cycle moves

246
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: in baseball. Man, Like, if you know someone would have

247
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: hit four homers last night against the Yankees, that would

248
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: have been the complete story. No one would be talking

249
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: about this today. But Jordan Alvarez tried his best. Jordan

250
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: Alvarez went four for five last night against the Yankees.

251
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not a fan of hyperbole, but he

252
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: looks all the way back. He looks like the guy

253
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: that you know, if there is still some you know,

254
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: discomfort or whatever in the hand, he's managing it pretty well.

255
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: All of his hits last night, he had four hits

256
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: last night. All of them were at least one oh

257
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: three point five off the bat the ground. The ground

258
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: out in the ninth was one hundred and six miles

259
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: an hour off the bat, so he was pretty locked in.

260
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: He is ten for twenty three since coming back from

261
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: the IL, has eight walks, he's getting on base at

262
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: a five sixty three clip since coming back from the

263
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: injured list. Josh, you know this is gonna be the

264
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: most obvious question you get. But like we talked about,

265
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: like how much just his mere presence would help, just

266
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: because we didn't know how effective he'd be, whether the

267
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: hand would be in a in a place where he could,

268
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, be peak Yordon. Now that we are seeing

269
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: that the hand maybe at a place where this is

270
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: peak Yordon, what does that do to this lineup and

271
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: this team as a whole.

272
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: Well, that's what we do, what we've always discussed when

273
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: he comes back, if he does come back to be

274
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: big Daddy or you're done, it's it's everything else becomes better.

275
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: You can't you can only pitt are ound so many guys.

276
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: It helps guys get better pitchers around you. And when

277
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: he's done what he did last night, pulling the ball

278
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: center field, left field, just absolutely hitting rockets everywhere, you

279
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: know he's locked in feeling pretty darn good. So it

280
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 2: helps out two by helps everybody, helps the bottom of

281
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: the lineup because you know who's going to be hitting night.

282
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 2: You got your done, waiting two hitters later, you got

283
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: you can't give up this guy. You got to focus

284
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: on then now two and that guy. So it provides

285
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: a lot of protection for everybody. And you know, if

286
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: he keeps getting onto this this rate, getting on base

287
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: like that, then obviously he's going to help the middle

288
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: of your lineup have more opportunities to hopefully drive them

289
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: in and not leave him on base. But yeah, it's

290
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: just what we talked about. It makes this lineup that much

291
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: more of a powerhouse and a lot harder to uh

292
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: not give up runs, which they can go into that

293
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: funk quite often, as.

294
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 3: We've noticed with as rough as he started this season.

295
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: Now granted, I know he's only played in thirty seven

296
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: games this year. He has more walks than strikeouts in

297
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 3: those thirty seven games, and he was not good at

298
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: the beginning of the year. Like Jordon is incredible. I mean,

299
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: he's just he's unbelievable.

300
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: The thing that always with Jordan and Ozo Campo, who

301
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: we've had on the pod before, former Asters International director

302
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: that was influential in trying to sign Jordan the first

303
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: time when they didn't get him in the and the

304
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: Dodgers got him. One thing he kept saying when he

305
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: came up was that, Yeah, the power is going to

306
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: get talked about, and he can hit the ball eight

307
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: hundred feet and that's great and all. But like I

308
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: think people don't understand that this is a hit over

309
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: power prospect. This is not somebody that is just going

310
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: up there and is going to homer strike out. This

311
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: is not a three true outcome guy. He is. He

312
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: is a hitter, and Josh as someone that has played

313
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: with him, like given his stature and given how big

314
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: he is and given the home runs he hits, like

315
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: that can get misconstrued sometimes that this guy is just

316
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: going up there trying to hit everything five hundred feet

317
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: and then you know, maybe taking a walk or striking out.

318
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: This is a complete hitter. He uses all fields, can

319
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: taylor his approach when there's a runner on base, if

320
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: he needs to go to the other go the other

321
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: way to move a runner can do that. Don't they

322
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: would ever ask him to do that. They won't hit

323
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: the ball in the gap. Nevertheless, Jordan Alvarez the hitter.

324
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it's talked about as much as he

325
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: should because everyone thinks of Jordan Alvarez maybe the home

326
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: run threat.

327
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean every every highlight you see here

328
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: always those those big bomb home runs. That's what everybody

329
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: sees from their perspective and what they see and you're

330
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: doing guys like us, you know, we get that pleasure

331
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: of watching every night. But you know, just just say

332
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: to that, Yankees fans are going to sit here and

333
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: watch Jorda and play for the next two weeks and

334
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: see what he's all about. They're only going to see

335
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: and remember those there's tape measure shots that they hit

336
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: hits against them. So I think we get to see

337
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: a lot more of it because I don't think coverage

338
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: of how good of a hitter Jordon really is as

339
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: a whole gets talked about a whole lot in nationwide.

340
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: So I think it's a lot like a Tuo Bay

341
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: in the past. We get to witness a lot more

342
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: greatness than a lot of people really see, so we understand.

343
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: So I can understand where people may not see that

344
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: and perceive him as that power hitter. But gosh, when

345
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: you watch this kid, I mean, it's and it's not

346
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: that he's just a complete hitter. He's gonna swing at strikes,

347
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: he's gonna take his walk, he's gonna get on base

348
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: whether you wanted to hit, whether it's a double or

349
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: a home or a single. So he's got plate coverage,

350
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: he's got discipline, he's got hands that you never seen.

351
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: That change up. The way that he hit the left

352
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: for the rbuy single was the absolute most beautiful thing

353
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. And he's hit some balls four hundred

354
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: and eighty feet, but man, when the left he takes

355
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: that left hand swing over the shortstop, there's nothing more

356
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: pretty in baseball.

357
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: Hit it to John Carlo Stanton left field, too, which

358
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: was a That was a.

359
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: Good smart hitting, that smart, genius hitting guy who can't run,

360
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: has no legs, can't throw that that's smart hitting too.

361
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: So it's not like he's just a good hitter. He's

362
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: a smart hitter using his brain.

363
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: Tyler, I remember we talked about, you know, I don't

364
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: know if it was about Stanton or who it was about,

365
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: but we talked about how much we have appreciated, Like

366
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: it's made you appreciate Jose al Tuove playing left field.

367
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: Ar Like last night was Stanton, Like there were there

368
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: were like three fly balls that like I don't want

369
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: to say every left fielder catches, but like he just

370
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: can't move and it's not it's not really Stanton's fault,

371
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: Like I mean, it's his body, it's the way he's

372
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: built and but man like it. It really makes you

373
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: appreciate that Jose al Tuov started playing left field in January,

374
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: has gone out there and look, I'm not going to

375
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: say he's a gold Glover, but he's gone out there

376
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: and looked perfectly serviceable. You watched John Carlo Stanton last night,

377
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: Like that's a guy that like they are trying like

378
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: hell to get him as forward bats as quick as

379
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: possible and get him out of there.

380
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean he we talked about it before the season,

381
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: like all al Twove has to do is not make

382
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: the like sports Blooper highlight reel and left field and

383
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 3: I don't think that he's had one. I I can't

384
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 3: recall a time where, you know, outside of some spring

385
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: training just kind of getting used to the left field,

386
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 3: like he hasn't made He hasn't made any plays that

387
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: you're like, that guy does not belong out in left field,

388
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: which is remarkable because you're seeing a guy in John

389
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: Carlos Stanton who has played the outfield for fifteen years

390
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: and he makes but you know, he's been out there,

391
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: he's probably.

392
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: Okay.

393
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 3: Well al two base al two has played about four

394
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 3: months and uh you know is it looks fine out there?

395
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: So that that is impressive. Uh and it also I

396
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: mean speaking of people misconstring Jordon, Like, Jordon is a

397
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 3: good left field you know, he's got it, he's got

398
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: a good arm. He makes all the plays that he

399
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 3: needs out there. I mean, obviously he's going to be

400
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: limited by just speed. Takes a lot of a lot

401
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 3: of power to get that body going. You know, he's

402
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 3: not gonna make gazelle plays out there. But he's a

403
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: good left fielder as well. So uh yeah, it was uh,

404
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 3: it was an adventure to watch, uh the Yankees and

405
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: left field and of course any ball hit the shortstop

406
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 3: who knows what's going hap.

407
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: I like, I might be able to better than that.

408
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: Guy Volpi's he's going through He's going through it, man,

409
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: that's a it's a tough scene to watch too, Like

410
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: you can he's wearing it and.

411
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: You see the one did you see the one in Chicago?

412
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: Like he booted and then they panned the cavaliero and

413
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 2: then they panned a boom and then back to the pictures.

414
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: It's tough man, they I mean he's wearing it. He

415
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: got pinched at four to ninth inning last night.

416
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 2: He's right, he's hitting like or something in his last.

417
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's not going well for Anthony Volpey. It's

418
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: going better for the astro shortstop Jeremy Payne, who kick

419
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: started the lineup last night with a first pitch homer

420
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: off a World War In the sixth inning offense came

421
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: a life scoring eight runs. That's what they need to do,

422
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: especially in the wake of some more troubling injury news,

423
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about right after this message from our

424
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: friends at Faltaire.

Speaker 3: Like you just watched weeks ago, yep, and there.

466
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: They love the first original movie and I'm like, this

467
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: is my childhood all over again.

468
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 3: So did you watch did you watch the one that

469
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 3: was like the original animation or the weird new like

470
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: three D Anima original?

471
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: Okay, one that looks like it was May in two thousand?

472
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: You guys, are you guys are painting me? I have

473
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: no idea. I have no idea what any of you

474
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: just said.

475
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: I went straight to Rina Club to go check out

476
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: what cars I can look at after I get off

477
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: this podcast today.

478
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: More power to you. What was the what was like

479
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: the young child's name? That was like, okay, all right,

480
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: come on, all right, I know who I know who

481
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: Pikachu is. Okay. That's the extent of my nerding out

482
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: for the day. You know, Seeing Sunlight's a good idea, guys,

483
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: you guys should.

484
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 3: Catch was on a cruise?

485
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: Was just days on a cruise. I got it.

486
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good. In Worse News, Spencer Araghetti about

487
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: Twenty minutes before Yesterday's game, the Asters announced that Spencer

488
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: Araghetti is going on the injured list with what they

489
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: described as right elbow inflammation. Just given the time of

490
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: the year, given where they are in the calendar, like,

491
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: even if Spencer gets positive news and that everything's intact

492
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 1: and that it's just a shut down for two weeks

493
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: and then start throwing, there's four weeks left in the season,

494
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: it seems very unlikely that he'll be able to get

495
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: back in enough time to make meaningful contributions in the

496
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: remainder of the regular season. If he returns in the

497
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: regular season at all. It's just another kind of blow

498
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: to a pitching staff that finally felt like it was

499
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: getting some guys back, finally felt like you were getting

500
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: closer to full strength, especially in the rotation, just with

501
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: Javier and Garcia coming back. You know, in the short term,

502
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't really affect a ton because the Astros have

503
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: been in a six man rotation during the stretch of

504
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: thirteen games in a row. They only have four games

505
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: left in that thirteen in a row. They have an

506
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: off day on Monday, so Spencer Araghatti's next scheduled start

507
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: was going to be Friday in Arlington against the Rangers.

508
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 1: The Astros could go a couple different ways with how

509
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: they do this. They could just roll everyone, move everyone

510
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: up a day in rotation. I mean Hunter Brown would

511
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: start on Friday, He'd be on four days rest, Luis

512
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: Garcia would go on Saturday, and then Fromber Valdez would

513
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: go on Sunday, all on four days rest. However, Hunter

514
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: Brown's only thrown on four days rest four times this

515
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: whole season. They've tried a lot to give him some

516
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: extra days. I'd imagine they want to give Luis Garcia

517
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: an extra day to just given he's coming off of

518
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: injury and his how he has, you know, traveled this

519
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: rehab path. You know, Fromber's a resilient arm. They rest

520
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: with Fromber doesn't really matter. They they trust him more

521
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: than any pitcher to you know, if he needs to

522
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: go on short rest, if he needs to go on

523
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: four days rest, like he can just do that. He's

524
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: more he's more durable. So there's a chance they could

525
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: need a spot starter for Friday or Saturday if they

526
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: want to give Hunter and Luis Garcia an extra day.

527
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: You have Lance mccullors in the bullpen. You, that's certainly

528
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: an option if they want to give him a start.

529
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 1: They've got aj Blueball also in the bullpen who has

530
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: stretched out and can start. I know a lot of

531
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 1: people are asking about Miguel lu yoa who I believe

532
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: has allowed one run in his last like twenty innings

533
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: in triple A, has pitched very very well. He pitched

534
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, so he really wouldn't be an option for

535
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: in a traditional starting role until Sunday, and by then

536
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: I think they'll be fine in terms of the rotation.

537
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: So I don't think he would factor in here, but

538
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: who knows. Things can change. But the Arraghetty injury is

539
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: just it's not what you want to hear for a

540
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: guy that Tyler, Like, we've talked about a lot like

541
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: how they're going to construct their postseason roster, how they're

542
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: going to construct their postseason bullpen, Like Spencer Araghetty profile

543
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: to me as the guy that they would feel most

544
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: comfortable with putting in the bullpen, and his stuff would

545
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: really really really play up out of the bullpen as

546
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: a bat misser kind of guy.

547
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a huge blow to the playoff roster.

548
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: You know, again, there's a couple of weeks left in

549
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 3: the season. It was only going to be a handful

550
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: of starts that you were going to get with him

551
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 3: in September. But man, I was really looking forward to

552
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 3: the postseason run of Arraghetty coming out of the bullpen.

553
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 3: And I just like you said, I don't see that

554
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 3: happening just another blow. I mean, it just it just

555
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 3: keeps happening. I would like to see a blue ball start.

556
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 3: I'd like to see him get a chance to do that.

557
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: He's looked good, you know, a guy that's been able

558
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 3: to be out of the bullpen and make some starts

559
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: as well. So maybe we get to see that. But boy,

560
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 3: does it make this Christian Hobber start tonight important. You know,

561
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 3: like we we talked about a couple episodes ago, getting

562
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 3: Hobber and Eric Getty back was huge for the Astros,

563
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 3: and you just lost one of them. So you know,

564
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 3: you need to see Hobbier continue to build on that

565
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: success from from his last start, stay healthy and and

566
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: be able to to keep going out there because they're

567
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: they're running out of guys.

568
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: Josh, Like, when you're on a team that has been

569
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: inundated with this amount of injuries, Like like, how how

570
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: do you like you guys process Like every time you hear, oh,

571
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: well we lost we lost Hater today, we lost Raghetty today,

572
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: we lost pain you today. Like that's gotta be how

573
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: do you let that not be deflating? Like how do

574
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: you let that? Like how do you kind of compartmentalize

575
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: with Like, yeah, injuries are part of the game. Everyone's

576
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: gonna get hurt at some point. Knock on wood. You

577
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: hope it's not serious, But also like, how do you

578
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: not let it just deflate yourself? Like man, like, we

579
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: can't even sustain any momentum without someone going now and.

580
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: Just I think that we would all react the same

581
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 2: way everybody else does. Oh crap, here we go again,

582
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 2: Like just here's another one, like shocking, here's another one.

583
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: Like something's got to get a kind of kind of situation.

584
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't something that was really talked about

585
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: amongst the guys. I mean, you be walking around during

586
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: banning practicing the outfo man, I can't believe that happened,

587
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: you know, ar Gaby, But nothing like that. But I

588
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: don't think it ever really truly affects the clubhouse to

589
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: deflate you start to speak. I mean, everybody feels the

590
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: weight of it, and everybody understands the concept of how

591
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: it works. You know, like you said, everybody gets hurt

592
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 2: at sometime and you hope it's not serious and hope

593
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: it doesn't bundle up and get to be a lot

594
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: of guys. But it just man, I don't think really

595
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: anybody gets surprised anymore. They take it and go, oh well,

596
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: damn it. Here we go like just one of those things,

597
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 2: and you just keep going back to trying to win

598
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: win the baseball game. So but to rewind that, I think,

599
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: I think I think guy like blue Ball better in

600
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: the in the pabang. Give them an opener, let him

601
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: go six chovy, and then you turn it over.

602
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean that's what worked. I mean it certainly worked

603
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: against the Yeah when I mean Okert, I think got

604
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: the first five outs, they tried to get a six

605
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: from kleb Ard, they I think gave up a run

606
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: or whatever. But then Blueball came in, was it was excellent.

607
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: You also have Lance mccullors down there, who certainly you know,

608
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: in just in terms of being a veteran, in terms

609
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: of you know, pitching in these are big games. I mean,

610
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 1: I know they have a four game division lead. I

611
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: know the division race is certainly you know, the distance

612
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: is growing. But the Rangers are a game and a

613
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: half back of a wildcard spot. Like this is a

614
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: team that is going to you know, they want to win. Obviously,

615
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: these are big games, I guess is what I'm getting

616
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: down to. Lance McCullers has big game experience. He is

617
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: a guy that has started before. If they do have

618
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: to go the route of they want a starter for

619
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: that Friday or Saturday game, it'll be fascinating to see

620
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: between those two guys who they decide to pick. You know,

621
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: I will say Lance's first appearance out of the bullpen,

622
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: I know the second inning he threw did not go well,

623
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: but the first inning, like everything Lance has talked about of,

624
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, if I can just get the sinker in

625
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: the strike zone, if I can just command my heater

626
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: and get a head in the count O one, one, two,

627
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: he did all that and it looked good. Like if

628
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: you could bottle up the first inning that Lance threw

629
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: out of the bullpen, You're like, man, you can you

630
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: can work with this, like this is this is there.

631
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: But whether they get that consistently is another matter. You know.

632
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: They could also just throw both of them. Yeah they could. Yeah,

633
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: let blue Ball go out, maybe throw the first three

634
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: innings and then mc colors can throw the next four

635
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: and then you don't have to put a ton of

636
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: stress on your bullpen. They could that, Like, who knows,

637
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: they could just pick both of them.

638
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: That puts a ton of stress on the bullpen outside

639
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: of that game, though, sure if you if you don't

640
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 3: have either one of those guys stretched out and available

641
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 3: for the next three or four days, you know, like

642
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 3: Luis Garcia gives up six runs and two innings, Like,

643
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 3: what do you do you know over over those days,

644
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: I guess, well, your option you lost another reliever.

645
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: Is your best one bringing back?

646
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: Well, I do think you. I do think the way

647
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: they may look at that Tyler is like, at least

648
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: in one of those games, either Fromber or Hunter Brown

649
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: is going to pitch. So you have to look at

650
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: one of those games. You kind of go in thinking,

651
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: all right, like we're probably going to use something, We're

652
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: gonna use some relievers, but my starters at least towing

653
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: the mound in the seventh inning. Whether he gets through

654
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: the seventh is another matter. But those two guys have,

655
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, more often than not, gotten you deep into games,

656
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: so maybe they think about it like that. And like

657
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: with an off day Monday and then Fromber lined up

658
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: to maybe start one of the first two games in Toronto,

659
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: you can kind of understand that maybe we don't aren't

660
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: going to need our full bullpen for a little bit,

661
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: so we can be aggressive. But I don't know, that's

662
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 1: a decision they'll have to make. What would really help Tyler,

663
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: as you just mentioned, is Christian Xavier tonight against the Yankees,

664
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: a team that he has had a ton of success against.

665
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't I think you'll recall a game in June

666
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two, Christian Xavier started a combined no

667
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: hitter at Yankee Stadium. This is a team that he

668
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: has pitched very well against. This is a team that

669
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: he has found a way to exploit when he's been healthy,

670
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: and he has looked healthy his last couple starts, and

671
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: that's why he is the focus of our DraftKings player spotlight, Tyler.

672
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: Like we mentioned Christian Javier tonight against the Yankees at

673
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: dyke In Park, We're not going to do every start

674
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: as like the biggest start of the season for him.

675
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: But we have talked about how much you know, Christian

676
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: Javier is going to mean to this team. He is,

677
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: for my money, the most the most indispensable and the

678
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: most crucial piece of this team going forward. If he can,

679
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, reprise what he did on in his last

680
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: start against the Angels when he threw six hitless innings

681
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: and struck out six, if they get I mean, I

682
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: don't know they're going six hitless innings every time out.

683
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: But if he can't, if the fastball is exploding like

684
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: it was against the Angels, if he can get the

685
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: swing and miss at the top of the zone, if

686
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: he can command the off speed stuff and the spin

687
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: for swing and miss, they've got a legit third playoff

688
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: starter on their roster. Yeah.

689
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean his entire career, he just doesn't give

690
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 3: up hits, you know, like that's that's just been his

691
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: mo o. You know, you'll you'll get some walks, you'll

692
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 3: get some home runs and things like that, but I mean,

693
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: he just is very difficult to string together hits against

694
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 3: Tavier and the Yankees are not a lineup that is

695
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 3: poking ball, and are you know, are are going to

696
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 3: rack up a ton of hits. They're a they're a

697
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 3: very powerful lineup. We've seen that, you know they've they've

698
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 3: definitely had that. But hits have not been easy to

699
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 3: come by against Tavier. So in his four starts this year,

700
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: I'll give you his hit total three, three, three and zero.

701
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 3: Pretty good. He is leading the league in expected batting

702
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 3: average against him. Again, I know it's four starts, but

703
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 3: on DraftKings you have the option to choose how many

704
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: hits is Javier going to give up? And they have

705
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 3: the line at three and a half. I'm going to

706
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 3: take the under on that he has not given up

707
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 3: more than three hits this year, and I would I

708
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 3: would feel pretty good about him not giving up more

709
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 3: than three and a half hits today against the Yankees.

710
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: And as always, if you lose money, you can tweet.

711
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: You can tweet at Tyler's see Stafford with all of

712
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: your concerns. I believe he has a venmo that that

713
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: he can help you.

714
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 3: Josh has money to burn. I mean, he's been winning,

715
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 3: so just maybetweet him instead.

716
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: And also if you get bored betting on baseball, as

Speaker 1: who's your NFL team? Speaking of people?

735
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: Zero zero, I could care less. I played fantasy, but

736
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 2: I've never really followed the Falcons. I've never gotten in

737
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: the NFL.

738
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: You just follow the Georgia Bulldogs. That uh that matriculated

739
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: in the NFL pretty much.

740
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: I don't even follow them after that. Yeah, I'm Georgia

741
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 2: football all day. That's it everywhere.

742
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's basically an NFL team. It's it's the same idea.

743
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Eagles are pretty much the Georgia.

744
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: Well, you get to see uh, Matt Stafford against the

745
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 3: Texans this week, so you get to you get to

746
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 3: watch that one.

747
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 2: I have Matt Stafford on one of my fans.

748
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 3: There you go.

749
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: I don't care.

750
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: He's a he's a big fan, one of the dogs.

751
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: He loves the dogs. Essok Paratus was at dyk In

752
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: Park yesterday. Got to see him field some ground balls.

753
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: He did a few drills at second base, which is

754
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: certainly noteworthy. Esock talked after he uh after he fielded

755
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: ground balls, After he did some baseball stuff. He underwent

756
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: follow up imaging on Tuesday on his right hamstring. Everything

757
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: looked good. He is cleared to do all baseball activities,

758
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: so he is slowly starting to come back. Esock was

759
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: was pretty forthright and saying like he doesn't know if

760
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: he's going to play again this season. He's given at

761
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: the old College try. They're gonna they're gonna see what happens,

762
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: see what works. I know there were a lot of

763
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: people that were very excited to just read that, Oh,

764
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: hey he's running and he's fielding ground balls. If you

765
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: were there and watched that yesterday, it is going to

766
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: be a slow process. He is not moving very fast.

767
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: The ground balls that were hit to him, he really

768
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: just had to be Yeah, he just they were right

769
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: in front of him. He didn't have to go side

770
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: to side. It was not intense. Now I'm not saying

771
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: this to demean him. I'm just saying like he is

772
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: starting from the bottom. He said, he's running probably at

773
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: about fifty percent you know speed right now. They haven't

774
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: even started lateral movement, side to side movement. He has

775
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: hit for a few days in the cage, but this

776
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be a while. It's certainly a milestone for

777
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: him to clear to resume baseball activities. The fact that

778
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: he was able to avoid surgery and now looks like,

779
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: you know, if they were in maybe July, you're talking about, hey,

780
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: he could probably come back this season, but the calendar

781
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: is just not going to help him out in this situation.

782
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: But good to see him back. He did mention you know.

783
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: I asked, you know, have you guys talked about if

784
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: you do if everything goes right and they go deep

785
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and essak Paradus is available for this

786
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: team later on in October, you know where he would play?

787
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: And he basically said, yeah, if I come back, I'm

788
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: going to DH. So they already have you know, two

789
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: and a half dhs on the team. It would mean

790
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 1: that Jordan and Alvarez would have to play left field

791
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: every day, would mean that Josel Tube would have to

792
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: play second base every day in the playoffs if this

793
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: were to happen. But I think for a team that

794
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: certainly misses esak Paradus in a lot of ways, with

795
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: the way he sees pitches, with kind of the tone

796
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: he sets atop the order, I think that'd be a

797
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: trade off that if all goes to plan, I think

798
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: they'd be willing to make that trade off.

799
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 3: His his Kurt Gibson moment in Game six of the

800
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 3: ALCS is going to be so cool where he's like

801
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 3: limping around, you know, barely jogging. But uh yeah, I'll

802
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 3: I'll take I mean, even a full game at DH,

803
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 3: I think is far vetched at this point. Not to

804
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 3: mention another Pokemon. Am I right, Josh? But thank you,

805
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: h But you know, I certainly can see him being

806
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 3: a pinch hitter, somebody who if he happens to get

807
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 3: on base, is immediately pinch run for it. You know,

808
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 3: I don't even know that he could do four at bats.

809
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 3: I don't think you even want him running on the basis.

810
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 3: But man, I can't believe that he's out there.

811
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

812
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 3: I was not expecting that at all, and I certainly

813
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 3: wasn't expecting it on September third. So good for him.

814
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 3: I hope the rehab works and whether or not he

815
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 3: can play this year. If he's able to avoid a

816
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 3: surgery and rehab in the offseason and come back full

817
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 3: go like, that's a win. But yeah, I mean, now

818
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 3: you get to dream, You get to constantly say, well, maybe,

819
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 3: you know, maybe he'll be able to come back and

820
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 3: do something this year. In related news, I would say,

821
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 3: you know, if he is going to be able to

822
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 3: d h in the playoffs and you've got jord On

823
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 3: in left field, it sure would be nice to have

824
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 3: Jake Myers in center field. But the Astros just keep

825
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 3: running into stuff. What happened there Chandler.

826
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: So I didn't see it. I had a couple fans

827
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: I send a clip now, so I had a couple

828
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: of fans that were in attendance alert me during the

829
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: game last night. And then obviously I think the videos

830
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: come out. Jake foul the ball off the shin in

831
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: Triple A last night part of his rehab assignment. Only

832
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 1: played five innings, limped off the I believe he fouled

833
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: it off in the third inning he played after it

834
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: played two more innings and then I guess the adrenaline

835
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: wore off or like it just started tightening up more

836
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: and he limped off the field after the fifth inning.

837
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 1: They took him out. I imagine we'll know more today,

838
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: but Jake Myers was probably on track to rejoin the

839
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: team this weekend in Arlington. I don't know if this

840
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: has impacted that we have seen people returning a day

841
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: from a foul ball off the shin. We've seen people

842
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: miss three and a half months after fouling a ball

843
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: off their ship. So who knows. But I'm sure the

844
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: Astros will give us a full, transparent diagnosis and timeline

845
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: and be clear about everything. Today. I'm being positive and hopefully.

846
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 3: We we fix that. By the way, we get these updates.

847
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,479
Speaker 3: Now you know that that's all us. We're taking full

848
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 3: credit for the astro's new approach to injury reports.

849
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: I think they should. I think we should. I think

850
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: they should spons that part of the game. Note should

851
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: be like we like they should sponsor Crushing Territory should

852
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: sponsor that part of the game notes instead of Houston Methodist.

853
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: But any anytime a trainer has to come on the field,

854
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: we should get a little bump in the bottom right corner. Yeah,

855
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: this trainer's visit is brought to you by.

856
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah Jake. You know, I think we'll learn more today,

857
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: paradus it. I think you hit something right there, Tyler,

858
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: Like even I didn't, And this is maybe something I

859
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: didn't even think about. Like if and when Paradis gets

860
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: to the point where he could take face live pitching

861
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: and get on the precipice of being ready, Like the

862
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: minor league season is gonna be over, so I don't

863
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: think he's not gonna be able to get to an

864
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: actual rehab game. So they're probably gonna have to do

865
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: what they try to do with yourd on the first

866
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: time and bring some guys in to throw live vps

867
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: and he would face them, Josh, as you have talked about.

868
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: That is certainly not the same as playing in a game.

869
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: That's not the same as standing for nine innings for

870
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: being in your cle You got to wear those cleats

871
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: you got, you gotta stand up. I think you you

872
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: hit a tyler. I don't think he'd be in an

873
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 1: adequate shape to play a full game. No, you don't.

874
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 3: You don't want him going first to third on a

875
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 3: ball in the out like no, Like wait, well yeah,

876
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 3: but I mean you don't do you do you want

877
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 3: him in the third inning to try to leg out

878
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 3: a double, you know, anything like that? Like I I

879
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 3: think he's best case scenario is obviously incredible pinch hitter

880
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 3: to bring in. You know, you can bring him in

881
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 3: against anybody. And the Astros also have the roster flexibility

882
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 3: where they've got fourteen outfielders right now somehow, and they've

883
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 3: got Mauricio Duban who can play any position. They've got

884
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 3: a couple of catchers, you know, they've got a catcher

885
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 3: that can play first base. So you have the ability

886
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 3: to basically pinch hit parades for anybody at any time,

887
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: in any situation, and have somebody else be able to

888
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: come in and fill that positional need in the playoffs.

889
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,959
Speaker 3: So again that that is a huge benefit. But yeah,

890
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 3: I mean I I can't imagine that he's playing full

891
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 3: games and having the chance to run the bases.

892
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 2: Here's how I see it that if the Yankees can

893
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 2: run out Stanton every day, I feel like Brady's might

894
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: be able to pull that off.

895
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Stanton's muscles aren't ripped, his bones are just old

896
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 3: and he can't you know, yeah.

897
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 2: You know Apple's the orange is but basically the same thing.

898
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Brady's might beat him in a foot race

899
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 3: right now.

900
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, for for all, like the defense

901
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: and the and the lack of being able to move.

902
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: Like watching John Carlos Stantony hit is a Oh that's

903
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: an experience, man, Like that is he watching him take

904
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: batting practice is something like I think everyone should do once,

905
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 1: Like watch this dude just hit absolute tanks wherever he wants.

906
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: Like the sound that comes off of his bat is different. Josh,

907
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: how much did you play? Like you never played with him,

908
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: but playing against him seeing him, Like, how how rare

909
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: is it what he does?

910
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: There's very there's very few that they can do what

911
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 2: he what he can do now. And if you think

912
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: it's impressive now, when he was not deteriorating, it was

913
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: that much crazier.

914
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean he was.

915
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: This guy was hitting balls like twenty feet off the

916
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: ground out of the ballpark and they were still right

917
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 2: is they hit the freaking walls beyond the outfield wall.

918
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 2: It was you go to Miami when all that ugly

919
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: stuff was in there, like the freaking tower thing. How

920
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 2: dare he was hit him over that? Like he was

921
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 2: hitting him off the back glass in Miami. I mean

922
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 2: you're talking in New York like thirty ye rowers over

923
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 2: the bullpen and left center, Like this guy's firing off

924
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 2: balls that righty's are left that lefties don't hit to

925
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 2: the right field, Like this guy's hitting balls just as

926
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: far the right field as I could pull the best

927
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 2: my ability. So the guys like that don't come around

928
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 2: a lot. Otani's another one like that.

929
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look at this change up he hit, Like

930
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: eight is the if you're watching on YouTube, pitch is

931
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: the change up he hit one hundred and eight off

932
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: Jason Alexander last night. Like that's not that's not normal,

933
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: Like and like Jason Alexander. I don't think he I

934
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: don't think he thought it was a bad pitch, but

935
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: he knew, like you could tell him the clip. Like

936
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: the minute he let it go, he just hung his

937
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: head because you got to get it down down with him,

938
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: like you got to get way down against John Carlo

939
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: Stanton because he can go down and get anything. It

940
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: was majestic. But the Astros then scored eight runs and

941
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: found a way to win, so all is well, that

942
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: ends well. We got to see John Carlo Stanton hit

943
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: a mammoth moonshot, got to see the middle of the

944
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: bullpen kind of stifle the Yankees offense, and you got

945
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: to see I don't know if it was the best

946
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: win of the season, but it was certainly one of

947
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: the more satisfying just given everything that had gone on,

948
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,760
Speaker 1: and felt like they needed to win that game. Certainly

949
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: not a must win, but it felt like just for morale,

950
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: for just entire just well being, the Ashers needed to

951
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: win that game, and they did. So they'll go for

952
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: they'll go for the series win tonight in the rubber game.

953
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: Carlo Swordan, we'll pitch for the Yankees. As we talked

954
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: about Christian Haavier. We'll pitch for the Astros and we

955
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: will talk about it when we come back on Sunday
