00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: the country, Josh Reddick, who once did this podcast while

00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: skiing in.

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,760

00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: Let's get that clear that night. Tell the people where

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: you're at, what you're doing, and for those that are

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: watching on YouTube, give the people a sense of.

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: What you got to wake up to this morning.

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 3: Well, for those that know the islands of Hawaiian on

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: the big Island of Kona, and this is there's my slide,

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: there's there's our pretty much our view every day we

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 3: get to come out here. Here's the ocean, the hot

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: tub and the nice solid view for everybody. So that's

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 3: a rough live that's what it's like out here. That's

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: what it's like out here in Kona. Nice and seventy five.

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: It's seventy five in Houston right now. But there's a

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: tornado warning. So if I if I go if I

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: go black, at some point during this discussion, you'll know why.

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: But supremely jealous, Josh, But I appreciate you taking the

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: I appreciate you making the sacrifice of logging onto your

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: Wi Fi during your vacation to absolutely to contribute to

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: this here podcast. A lot has happened since we last

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: talked to you, Josh. It feels like it's been an

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: eternity since we've had you on. I think maybe one

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: of the more pressing things and maybe something that you

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: can provide a lot of insight on, is the Ashers

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: have a new hitting staff.

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: The Ashers have a new group of hitting coaches.

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: If you listen, if you're a listener of the podcast,

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: in our last episode, we had Dan Hennigan on, who

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: is the the director of hitting an offensive coordinator, Josh,

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: can I get your reaction to the Ashers having an

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator?

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: I didn't know we were playing football, So that's new. I

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: mean this it's it seems like every year there's some

38
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: new letybe choose the right adjective here, weird job in

39
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: the in the baseball industry. But it just seems like

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: you just keep finding ways to to give coaching jobs.

41
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: But hey, if you need more guys to analyze and

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: fix things, and I think it's kind of a little

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: bit of a panic button almost to figure out the

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: way that this hitting this lineup did last year. So

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator never never a job title. I thought out

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: here in the Major League Baseball.

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: Well, uh, this offensive coordinator, Dan Hennigan. He'll report to

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: a guy that you know pretty well. Uh, Victor Rodriguez,

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: who is Dan said it on the pod.

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Joe A.

51
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: Spot has said up multiple times, Dana Brown said at

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: the GM meetings, he is the top dog. He is

53
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: the lead hitting coach. He is the number one guy

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: that will kind of run this whole operation. In Josh,

55
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: you have you have ties to Victor Rodriguez. He was

56
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: your minor league hitting coordinator in Boston. Can you give

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: us some insight as to what he's like as a

58
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: hitting coach, what you got out of him, and what

59
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: you think he'll bring to the Astros in this new role.

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love Victor. He was great for me growing

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: up and becoming the hitter that I did kind of become.

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: Was just all about getting hits. He wasn't about the

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: home run, he wasn't about the strikeouts. He's gonna put

64
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: put his foot down on that line up, about getting

65
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: hits when you need to. But just a guy who

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: was always there for you and then just worked about

67
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: worked with everything about getting hits. It wasn't about, like

68
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: I said, the home run strikeouts. But he was always

69
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: a guy you could approach. You're gonna hear this line

70
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: a lot if you're around the guy.

71
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: He looks.

72
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: He loves to say, look at this freaking guy. It's

73
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: one of his like go to sayings. And I love

74
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: it for it. I love that about him. But he's

75
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: just he's always there for you, and that's what makes

76
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: a great hitting coach. And these guys know what they're doing.

77
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: And with Victor, he's also going to be the best

78
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: batting practice thrower that you've ever seen. He's he's center

79
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: cut everywhere you want it, wherever you want it. There's

80
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: gonna be a baseball size wherever he wants to put it.

81
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: So that was one thing we always look forward to

82
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: as players, when you know hitting coordinators are guys coming

83
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: to Oh, Victor's coming in Group one? Is getting Victor today.

84
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: So I was fortunately in Group one, so we knew

85
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: that BP was going to be at a premium when

86
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: Victor came in. But just an all around great guy

87
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: who's been in the business for such a long time,

88
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: and I'm very happy to see not only him get

89
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: a job with this ball club, but for him to

90
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: be able to be talted as one of the guys

91
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,119
Speaker 3: in baseball that everybody wants to have. It says something

92
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: about where he's come from and what he's done in

93
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: his career. So very excited to see him around that ballpark,

94
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 3: around that clubhouse, and I'm really really excited to see

95
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: what he can do to kind of kick this lineup

96
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: into gear.

97
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 4: What classic, classic good move there to not know everyone's name,

98
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: but you got to give off the vibe that you

99
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: do of just look at this guy. Hey, this guy,

100
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: big dog there he is, Yeah, coach, move right there.

101
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he knows what he's doing. But that was just

102
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: one thing that you know. I'm sure his English is

103
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: one hundred times better since he was my hitting coordinator,

104
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: so that might have been in. He might have not

105
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 3: known everybody to that point. So that's a very a

106
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: good point. Tell you just never know what this guy's doing.

107
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: But he loves that phrase, so you'll be here.

108
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy, this guy.

109
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 2: I think a couple of things that Joe has said

110
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: Josh about why he wanted Victor Rodriguez. I think, first

111
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: of all, you know, he is Latino and a lot

112
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: of the Astros primary hitters are our Latino and that's

113
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: an easy, kind of relatable thing. Joe has said that

114
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: that he wanted a prominent Latino voice here. You know,

115
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: Alex Centron just left. It's not like they didn't have

116
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: that before. But Victor Rodriguez is obviously older, a little

117
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: more seasoned in the game. And I think the other thing, Josh,

118
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: he just came from San Diego where he had Tatis,

119
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: have Machado, he had you know, Luisa Rise. He had

120
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: all of these household names and these guitars and very

121
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: highly paid and he was able to get through them

122
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: and obviously they liked him a lot. How much do

123
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: you think maybe that that suits him coming to a

124
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: play swear He's gonna have a lot more household names

125
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: in Korea and Altuve and guys at the top of

126
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: their game that he can maybe speak their.

127
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: Language a little bit.

128
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, Yeah, you can even take it as as

129
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: far back as you know, when he was with Boston,

130
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 3: he got to work with guys like David Ortiz, You

131
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: get to work with guys like Adrian Gonzalez in their prime.

132
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: So he's he's definitely not short on the list of

133
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: superstars that he's gotten to work with. So this is

134
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: just gonna be a nice easy transition for Victor for one,

135
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: but for him to come from those guys like Machado,

136
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: those guys like Tatis state that he shows it he

137
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: can get through to those guys when he needs to.

138
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 3: It's not just another superstar studded lineup who are just

139
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: gonna not listen to their hitting coach. He obviously has

140
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: some some status with those guys and he and he

141
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: gets through to them and they listen to him. So

142
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: it's gonna be fantastic to see all these guys that

143
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 3: are already so great at hitting just just get maybe

144
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: get a little bit better, a lot better by having

145
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: this guy around to be able to relate to him.

146
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: Is it?

147
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: Is it more with him just just maybe a Is

148
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: he what you're and if I'm reading between the lines right,

149
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 2: what you're telling me is he's not gonna be the

150
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: guy that's like pouring over the iPad. That's like, here's

151
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: this metric of this quadrant, here's what you need to

152
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: do with this swing, and that's Dan Hennigan's job.

153
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: Like we just talked to Dan Hnnigan last week.

154
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: He sounds like much more of just kind of a

155
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: vibes guy, of kind of like a sounding board, kind

156
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: of a guy that these hitters can go to if

157
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: they just need to take their mind off things, just

158
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: to hear another voice. Am I on the right track

159
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: with that?

160
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's more. I mean, I haven't talked to Victim

161
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: a long time, but I highly doubt that he's changed

162
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: any thought process of what he's wanting to do when

163
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 3: it comes to hitting.

164
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 4: He's not.

165
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: He's not gonna look at the iPad a lot. He's

166
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: gonna be old school. He's gonna see what works and

167
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: what goes with. Everybody's gonna watch their hands. He's gonna

168
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: watch their swing path. He's gonna watch what their legs do.

169
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: He's gonna be that old school style hitting coach that's

170
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: going to break it down with his eyeballs.

171
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: And not with an iPad.

172
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: And I love that. I respect that because, for those

173
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: that don't know, I hate analytics. I think they've obviously

174
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: been good for baseball, but they've also been very bad

175
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: for baseball. That's my opinion. You know, the game's changed,

176
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: but I was always more of the old school, classic

177
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: guy to figure it out if if you can't figure

178
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: it out without the iPad, then you kind of don't

179
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: really know what you're doing. So to speak, you should

180
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: know your swing better than anybody. But Victor's not going

181
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: to be that guy who's hounding over a computer, who's

182
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: hounding over an iPad in the case, he's going to

183
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: be right there on you, talking to you face to

184
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: face about it and not even really looking at a screen.

185
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: Okay, so you mentioned he's a great BP thrower and

186
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: that you know he's really good at identifying. Okay, we're

187
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: not just going to sell out for home runs. We're gonna,

188
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: you know, look for contact. Here, can you walk us

189
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 4: through for those of us that have not played major

190
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 4: league baseball? What what does a hitting coach do to

191
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 4: improve those types of swings?

192
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: Like?

193
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 4: What does batting practice look like? What are you working

194
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 4: on in the cages or in your approach to change

195
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: how you hit last year versus this year.

196
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: I think if you're looking at how you change your swing,

197
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 3: you're not really changing your swing. I think you just

198
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: work on those things that you struggled against. You get

199
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: into that batting casi. And this is for any age,

200
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: this is major league this is five year olds. This

201
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: is something I work with with my kids on you know,

202
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: just that tee. Man, that tea is annoying and it's boring,

203
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: but that tea is the best tool you're ever going

204
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 3: to have as a baseball player when you're hitting in

205
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 3: the batting cage because like it stays where it's it's

206
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: not moving. So that's that's one thing. You should be

207
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: able to do whatever you want with that baseball whenever

208
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: you're in that batting cage. So focus and preach tea

209
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: work getting into batting practice, and you know, batting practices

210
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: kind of be hit or miss pun intended. But when

211
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: you have a guy like Victor who can throw the

212
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: ball wherever you want to, it makes it a whole

213
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: lot easier to be able to work on those things.

214
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: Because not all batting practice storers are great. You know,

215
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: you don't have a lot of brockam on Age, you

216
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of Victor Rodriguez as you're round,

217
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: you just don't have a lot of guys like that

218
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: who could put it where they want to. So making

219
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: it to where they can work on things by throwing

220
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: the ball on the right spot helps out a lot.

221
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: But I really focus on that tee and you know,

222
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: working on your front toss, working on things that really

223
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 3: need to be worked on. If I wasn't hitting the

224
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: ball to left field the way I wanted to, when

225
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: I was rolling over a lot, then I need to

226
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 3: focus on doing that, and you focus on staying over

227
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: that baseball and having that tee put wherever you want

228
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 3: to because you can put it where you want to

229
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: have the contact. You put it back of the plate,

230
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: away from you as a hitter to really drive that

231
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: ball out there as opposed to having out in front

232
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: and not being able to get the ball deep enough

233
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: to hit it there. So if there's one thing I'm

234
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 3: looking at as any hitter, especially big league hitters, it's

235
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: getting that tea work in there and just really focus

236
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 3: it because that's where you start, that's where you warm up,

237
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: that's where you get you know, for me and I

238
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: can go back to like me and Michael Branley had

239
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 3: kind of a similar routine. Mike's was one hundred times

240
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 3: longer than mine was because I just wasn't a cage rat.

241
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: But you get in there and you do your one

242
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: hand drills, you do your short bad drills, you do

243
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: whatever drills you need to do to fix that. If

244
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 3: you're not taking you know, twenty five to thirty to

245
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: forty swings off that tee every day, then it kind

246
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: of it gets It gets harder than it should be,

247
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: I think, because that ball being stationary and not being

248
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: able to move makes everything ball on you because the

249
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: ball is not moving. And they always say it's it's

250
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: not the arrow, it's the Indian. So it's never the

251
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: baseball or the bat, it's always the person operating that.

252
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: So when that ball's moving, you should be able to

253
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: do whatever you want to it. Every time.

254
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 2: I've never heard that. I've never heard that saying in

255
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: my life.

256
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: You've never heard it, it's not the arrow, it's the Indian.

257
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: I've never heard that. Maybe I'm just maybe I'm just

258
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: young and uneducated, but I've never heard that.

259
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: That's one of my favorite go tos when referencing anything

260
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: that anybody blames. It's like golfers, golfers, you know, throw

261
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: their club. It's not the club's fault.

262
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: Right, I've heard the it's not the it's not the equipment,

263
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: it's the user. Like I've heard that. Well, I've just

264
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: never heard the arrow in the Indian one, real quick,

265
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: real quick, before we go to break, who's the better

266
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: VP thrower, Brockamani or Victor.

267
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: So that's personal preference for me. I think I took

268
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: brocket BP maybe three times in my career. He throws

269
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: too hard for me, too hard for me in batting practice.

270
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 3: Great for those guys. But Victor was right for me.

271
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: But just because simply because I think my toe tap.

272
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: If you're like a stride guy or a lack kick guy,

273
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: can understand being easy with Brockamanne. But nothing away from Brockamane.

274
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: But Victor, Victor's gonna be my guy, just because that's

275
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 3: what I'm used to eat. Those It a little bit softer,

276
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: and it just gives me more time to process that.

277
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: Where the pitch is being thrown, we're gonna lose.

278
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna lose viewers. If you talk crap about Brocamane.

279
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 3: I would never say one bad thing ever about Javier Brockamani.

280
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: Ever, I don't think anybody would nic nicest guy in baseball.

281
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: We'll come back and we'll talk about uh the astras

307
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: two players. Ramon Arius was DFAD and then non tendered

308
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: at the tender deadline, and then Mauricio Dubon was traded

309
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: to the Atlanta Braves and what was essentially a salary dump.

310
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: They were trying to move some money around. You get it, Josh,

311
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: It's the business of the sport. But still had to

312
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 2: be a I know fans, certainly fans were not happy

313
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: to see Mauricio Dubon go. He's a fan favorite. Were

314
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: you on the team, because this is the only kind

315
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: of comparison I can relate it to. I think you

316
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: were on the team in twenty nineteen when Tony Kemp

317
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: got DFA.

318
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: We were in Saint Louis.

319
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: I'll never forget it, and like I walked in that

320
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: clubhouse and it was like a morgue. And this is

321
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: the only kind of thing I can relate it to,

322
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: is that you know, a guy that was very beloved,

323
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: a guy that was part of the fabric of the culture,

324
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: a guy that had really endeared himself well to a

325
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: lot of people in the clubhouse and outside the clubhouse,

326
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: just had to go for a business decision and you know,

327
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: while those are never easy to do, it was probably

328
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: something that coming into the offseason you kind of knew

329
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: that they were going to have to make a decision there,

330
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: but executing it's another matter entirely.

331
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's heartbreaking when you get somebody who so loved

332
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 3: inside and outside the clubhouse, but yeah, that's all this is,

333
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: is moving salary. Just one of those things that business

334
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: becomes business at the end of the day because we

335
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: can love everybody in that ballparker in that clubhouse, and

336
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: you know, at the end of the day, it comes

337
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: down to those guys making those moves being in a business,

338
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: because it is a business. As much as you hate

339
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: to say it, you know, you're just a pawn on

340
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: a chessboard. That's that's literally all you are at the

341
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: end of the day to those guys, and that will

342
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: always be the case, but it is. You know, when

343
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: you talk about a guy like Tony Kemp, just you know,

344
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: I think I had the pleasure of playing with Doobie,

345
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: but just being there and covering the team to as

346
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: little as I have, just you could see how well

347
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: he was loved by those guys, by his teammates, by

348
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: his peers, and he seemed to bring smiles all around.

349
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: So it does remind you a lot of Tony Kemp,

350
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: because Tony Kemp came into that place every day, whether

351
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: he was playing twice a week, six days a week,

352
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: all smiles, giving everybody, you know, the hugs for Homer's

353
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: thing was such a staple for us. Everybody look forward

354
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: to that, you know, doing all their handshakes and getting

355
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: the littlest guy in the clubhouse to pick you up

356
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: in the dugout was always a fun experience. So you

357
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: hate to see it. It's just the way the game

358
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: goes sometimes, and you can all you can do is

359
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: wish to be the best in his future endeavors with

360
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Braves, and and he's he's going to have

361
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: a great career. He's already had a pretty decent career

362
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 3: with with everything he's done, so he's going to do

363
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: just fine over there. And but that that's, like you said,

364
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: that's just the way baseball goes sometimes.

365
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: Josh Chandler keeps trying to trade Jake Myers. What what

366
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 4: are your thoughts on on this astro's roster If they

367
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 4: are legitimately shopping Myers, who who's playing center field? For them.

368
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: Well, one thing I think, I think Jake Myers is

369
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: probably at his highest point for a trade at this point,

370
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: So the value for him, I think would be the highest.

371
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: It makes sense to kind of see what you can

372
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: get in return for him. I was, I was, I

373
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: was doing my homework, so to speak, when when Chandler

374
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: and I were talking yesterday about this, about how to

375
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: properly answer this without stepping on toes and infuriating people.

376
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: But I think it would be best for a business

377
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: decision to see Jake Myers get traded, to see what

378
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: you can get back for him. Centerfield becomes a big issue. Heck,

379
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 3: even rightfield becomes an issue because of what we've heard

380
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: Dana Brown say about Cam Smith having to earn that spot.

381
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: So I think at this point you might have to

382
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 3: run with a Zach Cole option. See where he's at,

383
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: see what he's going to bring to the table. Considering

384
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: what he did for this team in a short stint

385
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: last year. I think it realized heavily on a guy

386
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 3: like Zach Dezenzo coming back for that as well. But

387
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: you cycle through like the two as the Jordan left field,

388
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: I wouldn't call it a platoon I guess you call

389
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 3: it a DH left field platoon, But that's that's that's

390
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 3: a whole different story entirely because if you have that

391
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 3: crowded in field as well, you got to figure out

392
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 3: a way to cycle three to four guys into that

393
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 3: DH role and keep everybody fresh. So but yeah, I

394
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 3: think it would probably be best if Jake Myers does

395
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 3: get traded away and you get something back in return,

396
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: whether it be a starter, whether it be another outfielder

397
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: that can help you out a lot. But I think

398
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: you cancuse me, you could feel pretty good about running

399
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: a guy like Zach Cole out there, getting a guy

400
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 3: like Zach Dezenzo to help stay healthy and turn things around,

401
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 3: because when when Dozenzo can get hot, he's got plenty

402
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: of potential, He's got every possibility to play all those

403
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 3: outpuill positions and Cam, you know, it falls a lot

404
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: on Cam too.

405
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 4: Cam needs to.

406
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: Figure out what he's got to do to get better

407
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 3: and last for a full season, because if he doesn't,

408
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: he's going to have to figure out some things in

409
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: triple A.

410
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 2: Were you surprised? We'll get back to Myers in a second.

411
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: But since you brought up the Cam stuff, Were you

412
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: surprised to read and see that Dana was that candid

413
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: about you know, Cam Smith, a guy that they spent

414
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 2: the last twelve months really pumping up, a guy that

415
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: they really really like. But but Dana got pretty blunt

416
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: and said that if he doesn't turn it around, we

417
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: have to be open to sending into the minor leagues.

418
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: Are you surprised to see that?

419
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: I was. I was a little bit shocked to see

420
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 3: that happen in being out so early in the offseason.

421
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: I think that would be something maybe in spring training

422
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: to kind of address. But it just shows how serious

423
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 3: Dana Brown really is about just because you know, Cam

424
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 3: was great for a short period of time and then

425
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 3: it just kind of faltered off and there were signs of,

426
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 3: you know, blips of hope every now and then. But

427
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 3: it's right, you got to help this team win and

428
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 3: they can't keep waiting on guys like Cam Smith to

429
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 3: stay healer and not stay healthy, but stay consistent, stay strong,

430
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 3: because we like last year, especially with last year losing

431
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 3: out so close to the playoffs, losing out so closely

432
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 3: into the season, Like those little things do add up

433
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: and it doesn't matter who you are, whether you're making

434
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: you know, league minimum or you know, five million dollars

435
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 3: a year. They've they've got to find guys to get

436
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 3: in there and help them win ball games. And that's

437
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: the biggest picture right now. It's finding the right guys

438
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 3: to help them win ball games. And if we're going

439
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: to be blunting forward, you know, Cam Smith wasn't doing

440
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: that for a long time last year.

441
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Tyler, Okay.

442
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 3: Hey, we love him, Tyler. Yeah, I'm on your side

443
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: with this. I've been on the camp train since day one.

444
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 3: But if if we're talking like true businessmen here, we've

445
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: got it. We've got to say these things.

446
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 4: I'll allow it.

447
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: Josh isn't going to the zoo.

448
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm a member. I can go whenever I want to.

449
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: Josh's point, and I've said this before, Zach Cole has

450
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 2: been getting mentioned by anyone you talk to, unprompted, like

451
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: you don't even have to ask bring him up. He's

452
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: just getting talked about. I think they are actively looking

453
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: for a way to get him regular at that look

454
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: for an avenue to get him on the team, to

455
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: look for ways to get him regular best. Maybe that's

456
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why Dana said. What he said

457
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 2: about Cam is because if they do keep Jake Myers,

458
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: then what the easiest way for Zach Cole to play

459
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: every day? And that'd be in right field if Cam

460
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: Smith's not able to hold it down. I think there

461
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 2: was a little I don't know about misconception, but I

462
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: think the tender non tender deadline last Friday, I think

463
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: there were some fans or some faction of people that thought, like, oh,

464
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: if they don't trade them by this day, then it's good.

465
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: No.

466
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 2: Like, as we talked about, that was just the deadline

467
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: to like to just affirm that we are going to

468
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: give this guy a contract. I'll remind you again the

469
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: Astros tendered Kyle Tucker a contract last year and then

470
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: traded him three weeks later. I can tell you that

471
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: they got inundated with calls about Jake Myers, about Haysue

472
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 2: Sanchez before the.

473
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: Deadline, and they just.

474
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 2: I haven't been able to ascertain whether it wasn't the

475
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 2: right package or whether that they wanted to save some

476
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 2: of these guys up for maybe a bigger trade and

477
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: not do just a one off trade before the deadline

478
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: when they felt rushed and they felt compelled to do it,

479
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: but rest assured that there is ample interest in Jake

480
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: Myers and Haysu Sanchez too, who, as we've talked about,

481
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: does have a ton of value, even if you didn't

482
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: see it for the two months he was with the Astros.

483
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: But they they fielded calls on all these guys, They

484
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: fielded calls on them. They just didn't feel that it

485
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: was right at that moment to pull the trigger. Now,

486
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: is that the indication that they're preparing for a bigger trade.

487
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: Perhaps I feel very confident in saying that there will

488
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: be trades in the next month month and a half.

489
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's limited to the guys that

490
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: we've talked about, and you know Myers and Sanchez. I

491
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 2: struggle to find a world where they can carry both

492
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 2: Paradus and Walker on a roster and give them both

493
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: the amount of it bats that they need, especially if

494
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: they're going to go acquire Brendan Donovan from the Cardinals,

495
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: who again remains remains a pretty primary target for them.

496
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: Not saying it's going to get done, but it's it's

497
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 2: that is a name that is circled in their kind

498
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: of office and their internal talks, and of course they're

499
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 2: gonna be looking for pitching on the trading market as well.

500
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 3: But but Tyler, what is JV doing? Where's JV? Just

501
00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: go ahead and do right?

502
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 4: What do we doing?

503
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: I guess JV.

504
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to assume JV's buying his like nineteenth car

505
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 2: right now and figuring out figuring out which garage and

506
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 2: which home he should store this car in.

507
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: Fair enough, I.

508
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 2: Think I I'd like to live a day in his shoes.

509
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: I would like to live a day just I want.

510
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: I would like to live. I would like to be

511
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 2: justin Berlander for day. I think it'd be fun.

512
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: Just twenty four hours, it's all you need.

513
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm. I think it'd be cool to be good

514
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 4: at baseball, you know, just show up and be good.

515
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 4: I agree, that'd be great.

516
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: I think I'd prefer some of the some of the

517
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: other stuff that he gets to it gets to enjoy,

518
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: you know, the cars and the homes and the things

519
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: of that nature, you know, the stuff that a baseball

520
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: field can't give you.

521
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 4: But yes, I mean, you could just shoot for Josh

522
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 4: Treddick look at him from his Hawaii house, So you

523
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 4: don't even have to aim for JV. If you need

524
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 4: it to if Ryder and Maverick need a tutor, screw Tyler,

525
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 4: just call me.

526
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: We can work something out.

527
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 3: Thank There's nothing wrong with being a mediocre baseball player

528
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: for twelve years. It does pretty good. It worked.

529
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 2: To answer your question, I don't know where JV is. Again,

530
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: it would not surprise me at all. I have no

531
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 2: like further reporting to add other than that. Justin Verlanders

532
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: set on the record multiple times that he would always

533
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: be willing to come back here, and when he's available,

534
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: Jim Crane always picks up the phone. That doesn't mean

535
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: it's going to get done. That doesn't mean they're gonna

536
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: because I also don't think that. And here's an important

537
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: line to Toad.

538
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: It was.

539
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it happened last year. Justin said it when

540
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: he came back, Like Justin called the Astro, he called

541
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: Jim Crane after the Giants had basically made their offer,

542
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: and basically intents and purposes, asked Jim like, hey, can

543
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 2: you match this, or like hey, like I'm I've got

544
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: this offer from the Giants, And I'm paraphrasing what Justin said,

545
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: but basically Jim said at the time, like we can't

546
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: do that right now, so I don't think it's also

547
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: one of these situations where Jim's going to, you know,

548
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: like spare no expense if you will. I think he's

549
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: going to. I think he would give justin like a

550
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: fair market deal. And you know, at the time, they

551
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 2: just they weren't comfortable with he got fifteen million last

552
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: year coming off of the season he was coming off of.

553
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: They didn't feel that that was fair market value. Now

554
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: this year he actually obviously had the second half that

555
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: was incredible. Fifteen million. Obviously, it's honestly probably around what

556
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: he's going to get. Twelve to fifteen something like that

557
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 2: would not shock me at all. But in a day

558
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: like even if they and Tyler, I've always been like,

559
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: even if they do get Verlader, even if that reunion happens,

560
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: like that can't be it, right, Like they've got to

561
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: They've got to get like another like younger established picture

562
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 2: that you have a little more certainty in. And I'm

563
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: not saying you have doubts about a future Hall of Famer,

564
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: but he's forty three years old. They would need another

565
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: starter on top of getting.

566
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 4: Thrown for sure. Yeah, no, I mean that's part of

567
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: you know what we've been talking about with floating Jake

568
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 4: Meyer's name out there, like that's where you're able to acquire,

569
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 4: you know, a young, controllable starter who can give you innings.

570
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 4: But you know, the difference between last year and this

571
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 4: year is last year, Yes, it was the money, but

572
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 4: also just the way that the Astros rotation looked at

573
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: the beginning of the year. You didn't necessarily want to

574
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 4: lock in Verlander to that rotation. You had so many

575
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 4: guys either coming back from injury or we're young, and

576
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 4: he wanted to give them opportunities. And this year you've

577
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 4: got two starters that you know are going to be

578
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 4: in the rotation, so you got the room to bring

579
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: in a very lander in a way that you didn't

580
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 4: going into last season. But yeah, no, that certainly is

581
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: not the only thing the Astros need to do in

582
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 4: the off season.

583
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: And they also learned last year. You mentioned like the

584
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: guy's coming off of injuries, like you cannot rely on that,

585
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 2: Like as much as you want to have hope that

586
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: Ronel Blanco comes back at the tail end next year,

587
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: same thing with Hayden was Nesky, like that hope is

588
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: not a solution, like it is it is really hard

589
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 2: for these guys to come back after such major operations.

590
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 2: You saw Christian hobber. Christian hobber. Honestly, this year was

591
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: probably like best case scenario, like came back on time,

592
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: had no injury setbacks, but the production on the field

593
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: was very up and down. Like the Command suffered some,

594
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: the Vilo suffered some. But again that's what you expect

595
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: when a guy's coming off a thirteen month layoff, and

596
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: that's why you need insurance around him to like not

597
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: have Christian Javier be like the hope for you to

598
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: get to the playoffs, like they needed him to be

599
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 2: a luxury item and not some indispensable piece of the rotation.

600
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna go into this off.

601
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: I know for a.

602
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: Fact actually that they have learned their lesson and that

603
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: they understand that that hope for a return from injury

604
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: can't be there, can't be their solution. So I would

605
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: expect even if Verlander is resigned or signed, I would

606
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: expect that another starter comes to Houston, and that could

607
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 2: be in the way of a trade that could be

608
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: what they are saving some of this trade capital for.

609
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Jake Myers is going to get you

610
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 2: a controllable starting pitcher. Jake Myers has only two years

611
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 2: of control left and before this season had not produced

612
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: at the major league level, so they probably need more

613
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,479
Speaker 2: than just Jake Myers. But I think they're saving their

614
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: bullets maybe for to make one kind of medium to

615
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: moderate sized trade to get them a starting pitcher. We'll

616
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: talk a little bit more about what's next right after

617
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: this message from our friends at foul Territory.

618
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: If you are still carrying a clunky, leather brick that

619
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 5: can be mistaken for an old school wallet, may I

620
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,480

00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: Good?

665
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 4: You know, it's been a pretty good year. I'm not

666
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: gonna lie. I've enjoyed watching college football this year. I

667
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 4: like that the Aggies have won all of their games.

668
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 4: That's been fun to watch and enjoy. And I'm just

669
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 4: gonna live.

670
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: Who have they played? Have they played anybody good yet?

671
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 4: No, they've played a whole bunch of SEC teams and

672
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 4: they're undefeated in the country. You know what you play,

673
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 4: who you play, Okay, I don't make apologies for the schedule. No,

674
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 4: not my fault. You know, we've played whoever was out

675
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 4: there and we've won. So take that, Suckers and many

676
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 4: fair enough.

677
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm really curious we'll get back to the Ashers a

678
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: little bit. I'm really curious about this, Like if you

679
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: guys lose to Texas but then like make the national

680
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: championship game and like maybe lou Or.

681
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: Let's put it this way, if you lose.

682
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: To Texas but win the national championship, Like, how will

683
00:31:58,520 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: that be viewed?

684
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 4: Awesome? Yeah, deal, I'll make that deal right now. I

685
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: was more nervous that we would have a loss coming

686
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 4: into this game and then somehow losing to Texas would

687
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 4: like get us out of the playoffs. But I mean

688
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 4: they're locked in to the playoffs. Uh, and so I don't.

689
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I want to be Texas obviously.

690
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

691
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 4: But no, I mean, at this point, you're you're looking

692
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 4: at the playoff. I can't believe it. It's I it's

693
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 4: so cool. This does not happened to me often, so

694
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 4: I'm enjoying it.

695
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: Arch has already had his great game. He's going to

696
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: be crap this weekend against you.

697
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 4: Speaking into existence job.

698
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was weighing over his skis this past Saturday.

699
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

700
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: So the eyes of Texas will be upon you.

701
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: Mm, it'll be It'll.

702
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: Be a hell of all be a hell of a sight.

703
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 4: I've been teaching Olivia to do the horns down whenever

704
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 4: something bad happened, So she's just, you know, she's just

705
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 4: walking around the house horns down and the other day

706
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 4: she was going for like her third yogurt pouch and

707
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 4: I was like, now, you can't have another one, and

708
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 4: she just looked at me and went, yeah, throw horns down. Yeah.

709
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, that's fine, you throw horns down

710
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 4: at me. I'm gonna give you whatever you want. So

711
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 4: so that worked.

712
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 2: Good for Olivia, good for yogurt. Back to the Astros, Uh,

713
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: it's probably gonna be quiet. I say that, and we're

714
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: gonna get off this and blank is gonna hit the fan.

715
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 2: But it will probably be somewhat quiet until the Winter Meetings,

716
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: which are the first weekend in December, so in two

717
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: weeks in Orlando, I imagine there will be a flurry

718
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: of activity then.

719
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

720
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: I don't need to remind everyone that the Winter Meetings

721
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 2: last year was when Kyle Tucker got traded, So usually

722
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: a flurry of activity happens when the winter start. But

723
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: I do wonder if you guys have a thought of

724
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 2: what's next, Like what do you think is next? Like

725
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: what is next on Dana Brown's.

726
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: To do list? Is it?

727
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 2: Is it Jim Crane finishing the reunion with Verlander?

728
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: Is it Dana? You know?

729
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: Putting these packages together? For a trade for a starting pitcher,

730
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: is it finding a backup catcher? Is it I don't

731
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 2: know what what do you think should be their next

732
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 2: maybe foremost priority before and at the winter.

733
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 4: Meetings, I'm focusing on the starting I think you got

734
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 4: to decide yep.

735
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 3: Starting pitcher. Then you then whatever it takes, whatever it takes,

736
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: a two year deal or a trade, then you find

737
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 3: that that staple for your rotation and then worry about

738
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 3: the rest after that that chip falls.

739
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, you need starting pitching. Uh, and then you need

740
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 4: to decide what you're doing with trades. You know you're

741
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 4: at Like you said, Chandler, I just don't see a

742
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 4: way that you go into the season with parades and

743
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 4: walker on the same team. You got to make a

744
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 4: decision there. And you got to decide what you're doing

745
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 4: with Myers. Like we talked about his you know, his

746
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 4: value has never been higher, and so you either need

747
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 4: to pull the trigger on that or you need to,

748
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 4: you know, have some way of capitalizing on on that value.

749
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 4: Whether it's deciding you're locking him into center field so

750
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 4: that makes other people expendable, or you got to decide

751
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 4: you're moving on from him so that you know, you

752
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 4: kind of know where the pieces come in place. I'm

753
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 4: not as worried about second base. You can find a

754
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 4: second base when somebody can play second base, you know,

755
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 4: that'll that'll come eventually. And look, everybody loves their backup catcher,

756
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 4: but everybody has a backup catcher, you know, Like that's

757
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 4: not You'll find one. It'll it'll be all right, you'll

758
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 4: find somebody somewhere before the season starts. But I think

759
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 4: starting pitching and deciding what you're gonna do with kind

760
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 4: of the surplus of Parades and Walker and then Myers

761
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 4: as well, which you know is useful whenever you're at

762
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 4: a giant conference with all of the other baseball executives

763
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 4: coming up. So that's probably when that will get done.

764
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: You know.

765
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: It's I mean, yeah, Tyler like backup catchers or backup catcher,

766
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 2: but like there were stretches where the Astros backup catcher

767
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: was their cleanup hitter for like a month and a

768
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: half one yester year. Like I mean, like like Victor

769
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 2: Carrottini was like like one of their five best hitters

770
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 2: for like long stretches of last season. Yeah, and I

771
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 2: think it kind of dovetails and one I wanted to

772
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 2: ask you, Josh. You know, we didn't bring this up

773
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 2: when we talked about Dubon earlier getting traded, but like

774
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 2: I get it, like not the greatest offensive player in

775
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: the world, certainly not going to put like he's not

776
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 2: the guy you circle if you're an opponent scouting report,

777
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: but like they're going to miss him, just in terms

778
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 2: of like if you've got you know, if Jeremy Pania

779
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: needs a day because it's oblique hurts, or like Carlos

780
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: Korea needs a day off, or like walk like it

781
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: just it was never a question. It was like, oh,

782
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 2: like Dubon can play there. It was like put him

783
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 2: in one of the eight positions he plays. That's hard

784
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 2: to replace, and to do it as well as he

785
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 2: did it, and to do it as sure handed as

786
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 2: he did it. I don't know that they replace he's

787
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: I mean, you played with Marwin, He's he's basically he's

788
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: Marwin like, and it's really hard to replace that kind

789
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: of that feeling of comfort you have that like, Okay,

790
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 2: even if one of these guys can't go, or if

791
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: one of these guys is scuffling, like I put Dubon

792
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: in for three or four days and there's not going

793
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: to be that big of a drop off.

794
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: He's gonna be hard to replace.

795
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 3: It is, And it's not like you're it's not like

796
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 3: you're putting an average player in each position, like Dubon

797
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 3: played every position that he played extremely well. And so

798
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: you don't really have that confidence at anybody. You can't

799
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: really anybody in the game of baseball now who could

800
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: do what Mauricio Dubon could do at every position and

801
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 3: even wasn't wasn't Dubon then freaking third string catcher if

802
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 3: they needed him to, like he was, he was the

803
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: third string guy if if blank hit the fan, if

804
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: I'm quoting Chandler, like, this is a guy that you know,

805
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: you could you could literally circle whenever you needed the

806
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: guy to go out there, and he could play elite

807
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 3: defense no matter where he was. So there's there's nobody

808
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: that comes to mind that comes even close to that

809
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: when when you when you're talking about a guy like

810
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 3: even as good as Marwin was, like Marwin was obviously

811
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 3: you know, a little bit more of an upgrade offensively,

812
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 3: and what Mark would be like even like that, like

813
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 3: if you're talking about defensive wise, like I would probably

814
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: put Dubond ahead of Marwin in all of those positions

815
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 3: just because of how good he was defensively and just

816
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 3: a little bit faster than than than Marlin might have been.

817
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 3: So it's definitely somebody that you can't replace. He's irreplaceable.

818
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 3: You can only hope to bring somebody else in and

819
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 3: kind of fill the whole, not really close the gap,

820
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 3: so to speak.

821
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marlin didn't if I remember right, Like he played

822
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: a little bit of left field at in Houston, where

823
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 2: like the Crawford box has helped him out, but he

824
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: didn't play much outfield at all. Like that's the thing

825
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 2: Dubon too. Like you put Dubon in center, he runs

826
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 2: anything down you put Dubond like, he is going to

827
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 2: be more difficult to replace than I think a lot

828
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 2: of people understand. You know Nick Allen in the trade,

829
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 2: who younger, cheaper, but plays up the middle.

830
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: That's all he does.

831
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 2: He's a second, second basement shortstop third base, which on

832
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 2: this team is fine because you got to protect paying,

833
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 2: you gotta protect Korea, and you don't know who's playing

834
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: second base, and if it's Altuve, then you definitely need

835
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 2: to protect him. So on this team that's valuable. But

836
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: on the whole, I mean we talked about the outfield,

837
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 2: like the outfield was a mess for so much last year.

838
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: Dubon kept it from being a bigger mess because they

839
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: could just put him out there in any in any

840
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 2: of the three positions and he would he would find

841
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 2: a way to be good. So that in Kartini, like,

842
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it, he's a backup catcher, but

843
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 2: like Carrot's and he was like, you're only semblance of

844
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 2: balance when Alvarez was hurt, like he was hitting clean

845
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: up at points. He was a great pinch hitter off

846
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: the bench, which is clutch.

847
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 3: Clutch hitter.

848
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: You can't, you can't. That's not something you can teach.

849
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 2: That's not something you go find on the free agent

850
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 2: market and say, oh, this dude's gonna be clutch, let's

851
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: sign him. Like that's just something you don't know to

852
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 2: you got it. So those two guys, while certainly not

853
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 2: the headliners of any lineup and not making a ton

854
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: of money and not like on the Marquee, they're gonna

855
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: be hard to replace.

856
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: They're the depth.

857
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,479
Speaker 2: Pieces that the Astros for a long time haven't had

858
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 2: because they've just been so reliant on putting their top

859
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: nine guys out there and then if anything falters with them.

860
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: They were kind of screwed.

861
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: Kartini and Duba kept them from being more screwed. So

862
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 2: they've got they've got some work to do. They've got

863
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: to add some depth. But they will start to do

864
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 2: that at the Winter meetings, which, as I said, in

865
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: two weeks in Orlando before the holidays. Something else coming

00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 4: Big Island, Tyler Well, I said, Hawaii, you have the

898
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 4: ability to jump islands. I would imagine, No.

899
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 3: We don't. We don't jump islands. We stay over here

900
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 3: where it's nice and calm and not touristy and relaxing.

901
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: Okay, can it can't be around the tourists. They would

902
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 2: be just all over you, hounding you for autographs.

903
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 3: If I left the mainland to get away from the

904
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 3: city and the annoying people and have some serenity out here.

905
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 3: So that's what we're going to enjoy doing.

906
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet you can find it out there, I.

907
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 3: Believe before we get back to the real world of

908
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: go kart racing and mad mad House.

909
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 4: They got tracks out there for him to practice on it.

910
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 3: If they did, I guarantee we would have been to

911
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 3: it already. But no, he gets right, he get we

912
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 3: fly home on a red eye. He gets in his

913
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 3: goat cart that afternoon, so he better get some rest

914
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 3: because he's got to go to Dallas for a week

915
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 3: that we used like the race, like three days later.

916
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 1: So did they get outside.

917
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 2: Did they go on the boat with you guys the

918
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 2: other day to go fishing or no?

919
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 3: That was just me, my uncle and my cousin. They don't,

920
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: they're not they're not going to be ready for that

921
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: for a while. Because we got there at six in

922
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 3: the morning. We didn't get back to about four thirty

923
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 3: in the afternoon. So they're not ready for that.

924
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 2: Would you guys catch I saw the the IG's looked

925
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 2: pretty pretty lit. Wo'd you guys see it?

926
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 3: So we caught So rule of thumb is Daddy gets

927
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: the first fish every time, just in case we only

928
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 3: catch one fish. So I caught about a two hundred

929
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 3: and ten pound marlin, nothing huge, but not a tiny one.

930
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 3: My uncle caught about one hundred and thirty pound tuna,

931
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 3: which we enjoyed for poke bowls last night. Fantastic. And

932
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 3: then my cousin got the six hundred pound marlin that

933
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 3: saw you saw jumping on the ig. That was That

934
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 3: was pretty amazing because even if you've caught marlin before,

935
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 3: you don't get to see him skate across the water

936
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 3: as much as that one did. He gave us a

937
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 3: great show, and it was it was It was a

938
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: big a drilling rush. It was fun because you know

939
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 3: those fish get close to the boat and they take

940
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 3: off again, and you get him back and they take

941
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 3: off again. So it's it's definitely a fun experience for

942
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 3: those who have not had it, and if you are,

943
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 3: if you're something you want to try, I highly recommend

944
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 3: trying that because there's no drilling rush like that. But

945
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 3: tell you what, get ready to be exhausted because reeling

946
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 3: in those fish is I think mine took ten minutes

947
00:44:58,160 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 3: to reel in just because it was small, and I have,

948
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 3: you know, five hundred pound tests. I was just constantly

949
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 3: reeling them in. But that ten minutes are really in

950
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 3: that thing. Man. I had to go lay down for

951
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 3: like forty minutes just to catch my breath and get

952
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 3: back because one, I'm out of shape, and even two

953
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,479
Speaker 3: like I've caught tuna and I've even called a sword

954
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 3: fish when I was probably in the best shape of

955
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,959
Speaker 3: my life and I was still exhausted. It doesn't matter

956
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 3: what kind of shape you're in and how healthy or

957
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 3: whatnot you are, you are going to be exhausted for

958
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 3: a long time after pulling one.

959
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 4: Up, all right, So either buy a hoodie on Black

960
