Happy twenty and twenty five. Tyler, 3 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: how was your New Year's. 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: It was good? That does not seem like a real 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 2: year twenty twenty five? Like, do you? 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean that? 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 2: Just it feels like a sci fi like made it, 8 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: you know, in the year twenty twenty five. This is 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 2: what it's going to be. I'm not comfortable with living 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: in it just yet. 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a miracle we made it to twenty 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: twenty five, I think, is what you're trying to say. 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: And I think I think everyone kind of thinks that 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: to some extent. You know when when when New Year's 15 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: comes about, everyone kind of starts sketching out what they 16 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: want to do better in this coming year. It gives 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: you a blank slate. It gives you time to think 18 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: about what you did bad in previous years and how 19 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: you can be better in this new year. Do you 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: have any personal New Year's resolutions? Yeah? 21 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: I don't know that I need a new year to 22 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: think about all the bad things that I've done. I'm 23 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: pretty good at that just constantly. But yeah, man, you 24 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: know I've got two kids, we have another on the way, 25 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: and so a lot of resolutions around around that.

They were like they 94 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: were like, yeah, like we kind of have to say 95 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: it like this. I went and interviewed the coach and 96 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: this dude is like in this dude was in his 97 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: mid thirties coach or the mascot coach. Yes, like coach 98 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: basically the cheerleading coach. Look, I mean, LSU wastes a 99 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: lot of money paying this dude's salary probably is at 100 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: the top of the list. So I went to interview 101 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: this guy and like to We're two adults having a conversation, 102 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: and he's like, you cannot write anywhere that these people 103 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: are Mike the Tiger And I looked at him like 104 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: he had eight heads, and I was like, are you serious. 105 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: He was like, you don't understand what this will do. 106 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: You have you have a duty and a responsibility to 107 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: write that these guys play or help Mike. No, that 108 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: was the thing. It wasn't like, is that they're Mike's 109 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: helpers because they wanted Mike, the anthropomorphic version of Mike, 110 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: to be an actual thing. I looked at this dude 111 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: like he had ten heads, and I said, no, I 112 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: live in reality, and I'm going to quote you on 113 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: the record and just write whatever you said, and then 114 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: he didn't talk to me for a long time. 115 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: You should have just quote that should have been the 116 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 2: opening lead is like just that quote from this guy 117 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: and then the rest of the story of being like 118 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 2: these people are insane. 119 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: Well, so the funny thing was one of the guys. 120 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: So I think it's all the time when they graduate. 121 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: When they graduate from LSU, they walk across the stage 122 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: in Mike's feet, like they wear like the feet and 123 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: that's how like they quote unquote tell everyone that they 124 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: were one of Mike's helpers during their college career. And 125 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to look at the guy and be like, 126 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: all right, so it's fine for them to walk across 127 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: the stage wearing the costume, but it's not okay for 128 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: me to put in this like story I'm writing for 129 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: a class that h oh, this of this kid is 130 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: Mike in the suit was one of the most excuse 131 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: my French, one of most asked backward things I've ever 132 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: heard in my life. 133 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: I really like this view into your psyche, and I 134 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: like that, like nineteen year old Chandler was just as 135 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: you know, just angry at everyone for your stories. And 136 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: that makes me really happy that the town. The job 137 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: here has not changed you. This is this is you. 138 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, not much has changed. So a lot of people 139 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: are still harbor a lot of anger toward me, and 140 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: it may continue after this podcast, in which we will 141 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: tell the astros in which ways they have to get 142 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: better in twenty. 143 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: Resolution number one harbor resentment towards Chandler. 144 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: Oh they oh, they do that already. Don't worry. They 145 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: don't need a resolution for that, all right. So first 146 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: one off the top of my head, and this is 147 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: kind of the nuanced one that I want to You 148 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to stick with me on this one. 149 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: These are astros resolutions. 150 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: These are astras. These are not my resolutions. We don't need. 151 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: That's a sad sorry. 152 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: For the astros. Yes, okay. 153 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: My first one is for Dana Brown, Dasher's GM. I think, 154 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: as many of you know by now, Dana Brown is 155 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: nothing if not candid, likes to speak his mind, likes 156 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: to say a lot of bold things. Part of that 157 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: is the scout in him. He's a longtime scout and 158 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: if you've ever been around baseball scouts, the one thing 159 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: they can do is they can talk. They can talk 160 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: a lot, and they don't have a filter. Dana Brown 161 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: has brought that with him to the GM's role, sometimes 162 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: to his detriment, but sometimes you know, it helps get 163 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: the fan base going and it helps, you know, get 164 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: some confidence. I think for Dana in twenty twenty five, 165 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: he needs to be a man of his word. You've 166 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: heard him by now. He began this winter by saying 167 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: that Alex Bregman was the Asher's biggest priority. Alex Bregmant 168 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: was not the Asher's biggest priority. Retaining him this winter, 169 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: the offer that they gave him, everything that went after it, 170 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: you could tell that he was not their biggest priority. 171 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, he went on the Asher's 172 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: flagship radio station and said Kyle Tucker would be an 173 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: astro for life. We now know that Kyle Tucker will 174 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: not be an astro for life. I'm going to defend 175 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: him in these two instances because what else is he 176 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: going to say. Like, you can't go on the team's 177 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: flagship radio station and say, oh, yeah, we're going to 178 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: trade Kyle Tucker in a year and a half because 179 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: he's going to get too expensive. And you can't start 180 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: this off season by saying, yeah, you know, we're we're 181 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: going to low ball Alex Bregman and you know, then 182 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: pivot and go from there. It's kind of between a 183 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: rock and a hard place there. But the one thing 184 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: Dana has been vocal about and was vocal about when 185 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: he got the job talks about extensions. He talks about 186 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: and we wanted to be like Atlanta. We want to 187 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: extend these young guys to where you avoid these two 188 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: situations where you were with Tucker and with Bregman. I 189 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: think in twenty twenty, he's got to be a man 190 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: of his word with some of these extensions, and he's 191 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: got to lock these guys up young. And now I 192 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: know everyone in their minds thinking right now extensions are like, 193 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: oh fromer Veldez, or oh like Hunter Brown, or oh 194 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: like maybe Jeremy Pania. You've missed the boat on all them, 195 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: Like they're too far in it, Like Jeremy Paine is 196 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: two years away from free agency. Hunter Brown just hired 197 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: Scott Boris uh fromer Veldez. Just watch Max Freed and 198 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns gets two hundred million dollars, Like you're not 199 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: extending them one the guys that you're talking about that 200 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: he's going to be in more serious thoughts for or Diaz, 201 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: Spencer Arraghetty, maybe Brian Abray You I think you may 202 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: be too far gone with him too, maybe too far 203 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: deep into the arbitration process. But you can you can 204 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: take a shot and see. And I know a lot 205 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: of you were thinking right now. Man like Spencer Araghedty 206 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: just had a four or five era, and you know 207 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: Jiner Diaz, who was very good last year, maybe not 208 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: maybe the the production you thought you'd see from him. Guys, 209 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: you've gotta there's some risk involved in all of these 210 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: and until Tyler, until they realize that they have got 211 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: to get these guys younger and they've got to lock 212 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: them up young before they get to arbitration. We're going 213 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: to see a lot of these same Tucker and Bregman 214 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: and Korea in spring. We're gonna see this script follows 215 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: suit a lot. 216 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. I mean, so much of 217 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 2: baseball roster building is the fringes, right like you can 218 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: every every year, if you wanted to, you could spend 219 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 2: and get one humongous free agent as the cherry on 220 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 2: top of your roster. But you know, we you know, 221 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: we just saw the Dodgers sign Tommy Edmond to a 222 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 2: ton of money because you know, we know that, you 223 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: know it's going to take all of these building blocks 224 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: to win a championship, and you're exactly right. Those are 225 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: the types of guys, uh, you know, to do it for. 226 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: So I love that. Okay, So I have one. I 227 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: went with, uh because I am a board rider here 228 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: that doesn't have an outlet. I get to be a 229 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: little silly and creative. So I went with resolutions that 230 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: sound like actual resolutions. But then I'll walk you through 231 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: the astro side. So my first one is get outside more, Uh, 232 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: embrace the outdoors. And what I mean by that open 233 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 2: the dang roof. What are we doing? 234 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: Uh? 235 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: Dyke in park caught myself. First off, I'm sure they 236 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 2: would love uh not having to pay for air conditioning 237 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: they I'm they would appreciate that. But more importantly, every 238 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: single person who's ever been to an open roof game 239 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 2: will tell you about the time that they went to 240 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: an open roof game because it rules and it's hot outside. 241 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 2: But we all know that we live here like no 242 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 2: one's in Houston and going like what it's eighty five 243 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 2: degrees at night? Yeah, man, we're all in shorts all 244 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: the time, and it's okay, Like, as long as it's 245 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 2: not raining and it's not the afternoon or the humidity 246 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 2: is not going to like melt your face. Open the roof. 247 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 2: It's fun. And I don't know, maybe they change the 248 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 2: rules or something on this. You would know better than me. 249 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: But I remember when when run first opened, how cool 250 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 2: it was in like the sixth or seventh inning, when 251 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 2: they pop it over the course of an inning and 252 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 2: everybody's just like staring at the roof. Maybe the man 253 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: told us we couldn't do that anymore, but I say, 254 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: do it because it rules and it's really fun. 255 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: Uh, don't tell Lance mccullor's junior that he had a 256 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: bad experience with the roof opening mid game and. 257 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: Hair got too frizzy. 258 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: Hair got too frizzy. I think some stuff went wrong 259 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: with the ball, Like he had a bad experience with 260 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: the roof opening mid game on him at Chase Field 261 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: in Arizona a couple of years back. So, but that 262 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: leads into why they don't open the roof. The players 263 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: don't want to open. 264 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really care. 265 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: I don't get over it. 266 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: I wrote. I wrote an article one time for esteemed 267 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: friend of the Program Astros County, and I wrote a 268 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: story about is it actually worse whenever they open the roof, 269 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 2: and it's not. The difference is literally negligible. Over the 270 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 2: course of Astro's history, everybody's always going to complain about everything. 271 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: I don't care. 272 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: It's the sport for fans, and it's fun when the 273 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 2: roof is open. Opening up, you'll you'll be okay, I promise, 274 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: Like you play outside at the Oakland Coliseum. That place sucks, 275 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: but you're fine. You play a play a game there 276 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 2: and you move on. Open the roof. It's fun. 277 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know as well as I do. Tyler. Baseball 278 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: players are the most superstitious players in the world, and 279 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: in their minds they have eighty one games a year 280 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: where the climate is controlled. They'll know the spin of 281 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: the ball, they'll know how the ball tracks the pitchers, 282 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: they'll know how the ball, you know, spins. It'd be 283 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: tough sell. But at the same time, and I've vocalized 284 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: this a lot, we have seen that Major League Baseball 285 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: makes them open the roof when they have home playoff 286 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: games like that has been a thing in the last 287 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: couple of years that Major League Baseball if the temperatures 288 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: are within the guidelines, has mandated that the roof be open, 289 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: why not get some practice. Like I'm not saying, Look, 290 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying open the roof in June and July 291 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: when it's one hundred and ten degrees out with ninety 292 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: five percent humidity. But there are times in April, there 293 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: are times in September, there are times when it becomes 294 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: a little unseasonably cool in August that that you can 295 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: open the roof for certain games. And I think I 296 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: think it's a better viewing experience. I think it's a 297 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: beautiful view A minute made I think fan, I think 298 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: it'd be something that you know they need to look into. 299 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if it changes negligibly. 300 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 2: I would say, if you are a player on the team, 301 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: if I were the owner, I would say, if you 302 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: win sixty five percent of your closed roof games, you 303 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: can close it all you want. I'll do whatever you 304 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: want to get that margin. But if you think it 305 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 2: makes you one percent worse, get over it. This roof 306 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: looks cool when we open it, and we're going to 307 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: do it more. 308 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: And also, like, wouldn't opening the roof automatically mean you 309 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: run the air condition more, which means you get to 310 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: run dyik in air conditioning, which means you get to 311 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: make your sponsor. Really, are you an ally or not? 312 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: That's that's all I want to know. It's tough. I'll 313 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: have to pose that question the next time Jim Crane, 314 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: thank you walks away from me. This next one has 315 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: been something that has been kind of thought about for 316 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: this player for the last couple of years, and it 317 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: just really has never manifested. And I think with the 318 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: way this Astros lineup is going to be constructed this year, 319 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: it's going to be more important than ever for Jeremy 320 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: Pana to find a way to elevate the ball. This 321 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: was a guy that as a rookie he hit twenty 322 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: five He hit twenty two homers as a rookie. He's 323 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: hit twenty five cents in the two seasons since he 324 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: had a four to twenty six slugging percentage as a rookie. 325 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: He's had a three eighty six slugging percentage in the 326 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: two seasons since. He led Major League Baseball last year. 327 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: Do you know this Tyler? He led Major League Baseball 328 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: last year with thirty one in field hits. Wow, if 329 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: you take away and again you can't play the game 330 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: of a takeaway all like half. It cut it in half. 331 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: If he has fifteen infield hits instead of thirty one, 332 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: his batting average goes from two sixty six to two forty. 333 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: So you look at the player a lot differently. Again, 334 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: with the way that this lineup is going to be constructed. 335 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: You don't have Kyle Tucker anymore. You're not gonna have 336 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman anymore. You hope that Estoc Paradus comes in 337 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: and the poll power translates to minute may Park. You 338 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: hope Christian Walker can come in and produce that thirty 339 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: home run power you've seen. You hope that Chas McCormick 340 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: has a rebound season. You hope Jiner Diaz maybe they 341 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: can spare him a little bit and you know he 342 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: can get a little more pop than we saw last year. 343 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: But this team is going to need some contributions from 344 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: the bottom of its order, and I think Jeremy Penny, 345 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: and it's not even necessarily hitting home runs, Like he's 346 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: got to stop hitting ground balls. He had a fifty 347 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: three point one percent ground ball rate last two seasons. 348 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: Ago had won at forty nine point six percent last year. 349 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: It's almost half of his contacts on the ground, and 350 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: he's the fastest guy on the team, so it helps that. 351 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously with thirty one infield hits, like he 352 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: puts the ball on the ground, there's a there's a 353 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: chance he can beat it out. But they need him 354 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: to hit the ball on a line, hit the ball 355 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: in the air. Get that slugging percentage up, and it 356 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: can make this lineup, Tyler. It can make it a 357 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: whole lot more dynamic if he can find a way 358 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: to get the ball in the air. 359 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, next time you see him, you should ask if 360 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: he thinks the issue is because his arms are too small, 361 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 2: and then just keep putting it out there that maybe 362 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 2: he needs to make his arms a little bigger. 363 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. Look, and maybe this is just who 364 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: Maybe this is the kind of hitter he is, Like 365 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: maybe the last two maybe his rookie year was an aberration. 366 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: In the last two years, this is just kind of 367 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: the hitter he is. But I mean, you were facetious 368 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: about it, but you brought up a good point, Like 369 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: you look at him and you're like, huge, how are 370 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: you not hitting the ball eight hundred feet Like, how 371 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: are you not. 372 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: Just I think he could punch the ball further, Like 373 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 2: if we gave him a batting or like a boxing 374 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 2: glove and just told him to smack it. That dude's 375 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: biceps are absurd. 376 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: It's pretty it's pretty incredible to stand next to him. 377 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 2: Do you think they have the tailor his jerseys, Like 378 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 2: it's not like he can wear a medium chest and 379 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: then medium art. He's got to have like excel arm sleeves. 380 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: Right well, now that he now that he has, now 381 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: that he's in a relationship, now he hardly great hard launch, 382 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: by the. 383 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 2: Way, launch. 384 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: I don't like saying it great hard launch by him. 385 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: Maybe they don't. 386 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: Hard launch one into the dang Crawford boxes. Chandler. 387 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: That that is why you're on this podcast. That is 388 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: why you were my first call to do this podcast. 389 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: But maybe they don't have to now because he's he's 390 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: found love, he's got a girlfriend, and they don't need 391 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: to tailor his jerseys to where he bulges out of 392 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: it because you know, the women of the women in 393 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: the stands, you know, he doesn't worry about that anymore. 394 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 2: M hmm. That's it. That was the problem. All right? Uh, 395 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 2: my next one, I guess this is also uh stadium focused, 396 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 2: but it is. 397 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: Eat better at home. 398 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 2: Uh. And there were two ways we could go with this, 399 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: and unfortunately the first one didn't fit my joke as well. 400 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: So my first thought was, oh, remember when they were 401 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: really bad at home? Turns out that wasn't last year, 402 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: that was what two years ago where they just were 403 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 2: awful at home? So that ruined my first joke. But 404 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 2: then I pivoted and did you see the the tweet 405 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: from like the Phoenix Suns the other day how they 406 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 2: changed their food menu. Did you see that? I did 407 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: not know the owner of the Suns or whatever came out? 408 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: Matty Sheba, the former walk on at Michigan State that 409 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: became a billionaire. What there's a great real there's a 410 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: great real sports profile on him. But okay, he like 411 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: was a walk on at Michigan State and now like 412 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: as a billionaire. 413 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 2: Sure teams just like Dwayne the Rock Johnson at Miami 414 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 2: right coach is becoming billionaires. 415 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: Coached by former LSU coach at oors Ron at Miami. 416 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 2: There we go. 417 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: I always bring it back to l s U. 418 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: You sure can, Okay, so they lowered the price of 419 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: all of their foods now, like hot dogs are two dollars, 420 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 2: you know, sodas or two dollars or whatever. But basically, 421 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 2: the owner of the Sun's like walked through the concourse 422 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 2: and was like, you can't afford to eat here if 423 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 2: you're just like coming to the game. It's the same way. 424 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 2: I've got a family. There is literally no scenario where 425 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 2: I'm paying you know, even the cheapest seats, which are fine, 426 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 2: you know, twenty bucks or whatever, that's reasonable. The ticket 427 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 2: prices are not crazy, But there has to be a 428 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: place in the ballpark that I can go get chicken 429 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 2: nuggets for my five year old and it's five bucks, 430 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, you have to have 431 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 2: something where it's like the games are later at night, 432 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: people are gonna be eat dinner, especially if you want 433 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 2: them showing up on time. You know, it's you got 434 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 2: to eat at the park, and it is outrageously expensive. Now, 435 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 2: some of that is fun, like some of the experience 436 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 2: of going to a ballpark is getting cool for food, 437 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 2: paying for it whatever. 438 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm okay with. 439 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,239 Speaker 2: That, but you gotta have a way to make it 440 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: affordable for families to eat there, and I would love 441 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 2: to see them do something like that. 442 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: Is your five year old not a fan of Dollar 443 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: Dog Night? 444 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 2: We go to Dollar Dog Night? But that's and of 445 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 2: course everybody loves that, right, Like, clearly that is profitable 446 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: for them to do. I'm not saying it has to 447 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 2: be hot dogs every time, but like I said, there's 448 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: got to be a place where I can get nachos 449 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: and a lemonade for a kid and it's seven dollars 450 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 2: like that that just has to be something that we 451 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 2: can figure out as a society. 452 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: You are right, and like you mentioned the suns, I 453 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: didn't see the sun specifically, but like if you go 454 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: to other arenas, like I think Mercedes been Stadium in 455 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: Atlanta sticks out like they have done their fan pricing 456 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: to where like you can get a bottle of water 457 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: for three fifty Yeah, you can get a hamburger or 458 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: a hot dog for five dollars. You can get chicken 459 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: strips for seven dollars, Like I think there is merit 460 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: to that. And again like I'm privileged in that, like 461 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: I'm in the press box, Like I pay twelve dollars 462 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: for the media meal.

I also don't have kids. I don't 465 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: have a family, so it's something that I'm glad you're 466 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: bringing like to but I can't relate to that. But 467 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: I think it's something that I think they need to 468 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: obviously improve because if you're saying it's someone that's a 469 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: die hard fan, someone that wants to go to the 470 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: games no matter what, if it's putting any doubt at 471 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: all in your head, like can you imagine like the 472 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: casual fan that has two kids that may want to go. 473 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 2: If I knew that I could go to a game 474 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: and feed my family for the cost of what it 475 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 2: takes me to go to Chick fil A, I could 476 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 2: go like, yeah, of course, I'll pay sixty bucks and 477 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: pay for you know, ten dollars parking, walk into the 478 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 2: stadium like seventy extra bucks for you know, an experience 479 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 2: of basically what I was going to do anyway, which 480 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 2: is just eat my family.

Great Jake's 507 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: a great dude obviously did not have the production last 508 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: year that I think anyone, including himself, was envisioning the 509 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,479 Speaker 1: way this rosters lined up. He's going to, you know, 510 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: play a pretty big role this year. And I think 511 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 1: one thing that he has got to do this season 512 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: to kind of set himself apart, he's got to find 513 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: a helmet that fits, like like Carl Schneider, like head 514 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: clubhouse manager for the Astros. Like, someone find poor Jake 515 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: Myers a helmet that fits, because, if I mean, it's 516 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: kind of hilarious. Watch he's perfected it now, Like when 517 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: he swings and misses and it falls off, he just 518 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: perfected the catch, Like he barely makes it down the 519 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: first base line without it flying off of his head. 520 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: And like, look, he has shaved his head, he's grown 521 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: his hair out, He's had every hairstyle you can think 522 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: of in the time I've covered him, and you can 523 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: never find a helmet that fits. And it's like no 524 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: one else has this problem. Why can't Tyler, Why can't 525 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: they find Jake Myer's a helmet that fits? 526 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 2: You know, I think you're right. I think the hair 527 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: is too nice and it just needs to to come out. 528 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 2: My buddy, my buddy Fulton sent me a video of 529 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,479 Speaker 2: his son riding his bike today and he had a 530 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 2: sweet Spider Man helmet with the like buckle underneath, and 531 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 2: I think, I think that's something maybe we need to 532 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 2: incorporate for Jake. But yeah, you're right, we got to 533 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 2: get that going. 534 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: And he's I mean and like to all seriousness, like 535 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to produce too. I mean he's like, sure, Okay, 536 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: the way the way this, the way this outfields shaping up, 537 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: I don't see them adding any big dollar help. And 538 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: so that means Jake Myers is your center fielder opening day. 539 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: And I mean, look, the Astros will be all right 540 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: if his helmet flies off hits twenty five homers and 541 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: as a mid seven hundreds ops. But I think even then, 542 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: I think, even if he does produce, like they've got 543 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: to find him or maybe it's a bobble Maybe they're 544 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: working toward a bobblehead. Maybe there's like a bobblehead opportunity here, 545 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: like with Jake's flow going and like him like having 546 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: his helmet in his right hand, like as he's speeding 547 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: down the bases. You know, bobble a free bobblehead idea 548 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: to the Ashers marketing team. M hmm. 549 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: Have you ever seen the You know, if you're just 550 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: up way late at night on like ESPN two and 551 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: they've got the like professional corn hole going, have you 552 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 2: ever seen that? 553 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: I mean I have not watched it intently, but yes, 554 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: I've seen it as I'm fighting with channels. 555 00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 2: Yes, there are fake weighted cans that the athletes will 556 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: hold because they got so used to holding a beer 557 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 2: while playing cornhole that they will literally like have a counterweight. 558 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 2: And maybe that's what Jake is doing as he's running 559 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 2: the bases. He's just so used to holding his helmet 560 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: that it like helps him balance out as he's rounding first. 561 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: I think my favorite The only thing I can equate 562 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: that too is like you watch the World's I watch 563 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: a lot of poker. I watch the World like who's 564 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: your guys? I can't pick one. I don't want to 565 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: pick just one, but I mean you watch on the youtubees. 566 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm mainly on the YouTube. Yeah, yeah, I got to 567 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: get better at it. It's like I'm not even watching 568 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: for like personalities and watching like get the game, to 569 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: know the game better. But my favorite is like the 570 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: casinos that don't allow smoking and these people just chew 571 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: on unlit cigarettes for hours and hours on end. It's 572 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: like it's pretty incredible. 573 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so my last one here it is to 574 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: exercise more. I saw a stat today that you probably 575 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 2: saw too. I don't remember where I saw it. I 576 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 2: tried looking it up, but X the Everything app is 577 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: a disaster for searching things. But the Astros apparently stopped 578 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 2: at second base on a single two hundred and fifty 579 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: times last year, and that was more than any other 580 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 2: team in baseball. So if somebody's on first, somebody hits 581 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: a single, they stopped at second base more than anybody else. 582 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: You gotta exercise. You got to get yourself to third base, 583 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 2: because there are little things in baseball. 584 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: You know that. 585 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 2: We all remember our little league coach telling us, and 586 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 2: going first to third on a single is first off 587 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 2: just a divine feeling and it's very fun to watch, 588 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 2: but it has real consequences in a game, and those 589 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 2: things add up over time, especially when you're not mashing 590 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 2: home runs like the Astros. Haven't. You got to play 591 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 2: small ball and you gotta get to third. Gotta go 592 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 2: see your new third base coach. Hit us with the 593 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 2: name Chandler. 594 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: Tony Paris Chica and look, you break up a good point, 595 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: because that is part of why Joe Aspota wanted to 596 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: bring Tony Paris Chica on. Because if you'll remember last 597 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: year in spring training, Joe Aspata was like, all in 598 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: on aggressive base running. We want to be more aggressive, 599 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: we want to take the extra base, and that never 600 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: really manifested this year. Part of it was the personnel. 601 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: When you look at their fastest guys. I mean, we 602 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: just talked about Jeremy Pania, who had problems, you know, 603 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: I mean his on base percentage was not high. Chas 604 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: mccork's one of their fastest players. Jake Myers is their 605 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: second fastest player behind Jeremy Pania. Both of them had 606 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: very down seasons. Mauricio Dubon is up there in sprint 607 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: speed and his on base percentage was below three hundred. 608 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: So part of it was that their fast guys weren't 609 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: getting on base. And then you know, it's tough with 610 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: jord On. If it's let's say it's Jordan alvarezm first like, 611 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: it's tough to tell him to go first to third 612 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: in the mid June game, knowing the history with his knees. 613 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: It's tough in the dog days of summer for thirty 614 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: four year old Jose al Tuove to turn on the 615 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: Jets and go first to third. You know, Alex Bregman, 616 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: one of their higher on base percentage guys, the Astros 617 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: told him not to run a lot because of his 618 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: history of soft tissue injuries. So I think a lot 619 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: of it would be solved, honestly by their fast guys 620 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,719 Speaker 1: getting on base more. But I will say part of 621 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: Tony Paris Chica's allure to the Astros was the way 622 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks ran the bases. And so let's see. I mean, 623 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: they talked a big game last year about wanting to 624 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: be aggressive and wanting to you know, push the envelope, 625 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: and we didn't see it. Maybe it does change this year. 626 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: I think that's a good point. I mean, I think 627 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: it's it's something that you know, I think this team, 628 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: we saw them too much last year be stationed to station. 629 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: They were very like it took three singles to score 630 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: a run. If jord On Alvarez wasn't hitting the ball 631 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: out and Kyle Tucker was hurt, then they weren't getting 632 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: a ton of slug. I think they may have solved 633 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: that with adding Walker and Paradus, but yeah, I mean, 634 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: they've got to make outfielders make good throws, they've got 635 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: to make them play competent defense. And I think if 636 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: they want to push the envelope, Tony Paris Chica is 637 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: the right guy to do it. But they're going to 638 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: have to get some of those some of those guys 639 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: with faster sprint speeds on Basemore. 640 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean the construction of the lineup is 641 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 2: just not you know, three true outcomes, like you know, 642 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 2: maybe it was built a few years ago where you 643 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 2: had four or five guys in the lineup capable of 644 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 2: hitting thirty home runs in a season, right, I mean, 645 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 2: outside of jord On, there's not a real like, this 646 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,479 Speaker 2: guy's coming to the play, he might hit a homer feeling, 647 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 2: right Like obviously people get into some every once in 648 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 2: a while, but outside of jord And, there's not really 649 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 2: anybody that you're like, let's try to get as many 650 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 2: people on base in front of this guy because he's 651 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 2: going to hit a home run, Like you gotta manufacture 652 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 2: runs and that's that's a simple way to do it. 653 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Jose al two Bay. There's just 654 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: some points in games when like Jose al two Ve 655 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: comes up and you just know, you're like, he's gonna 656 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna ambush first pitch fastball in his eyes and 657 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: hit it three hundred and fifty feet of the Crawford boxes, 658 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: and he doesn't. It's insane. 659 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 2: Isn't it so cool that he plays baseball and has 660 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 2: played baseball for the Astros his whole career. 661 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 1: That's so fun, very rare, very rare, as we've found out, and. 662 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 2: He's really good. I don't know if you've watched him much, 663 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 2: but he is very fun to watch fund to run 664 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 2: the bases sometimes and then he also leads the league 665 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 2: in what are you doing? But that's what I love 666 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 2: about him, never stop two v. 667 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: He is so good at so many things base running 668 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: and look he has made some like incredibly good base 669 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: running decisions that like that have turned at. 670 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 2: The Gary Sanchez uh dropped walk off. 671 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: Game, there's that one and then the Asher isn't up 672 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: winning this game. But remember Game one of the twenty 673 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: twenty two World Series when he got on base in 674 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth, like he hit like a 675 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: flare single with two outs and then he stole second. Yeah, 676 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: and like real Muto put the throw like yeah on 677 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: the money and he stole second. And if Nick Castianos 678 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: doesn't layout and grab pains Bloper, like that's the winning 679 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: run a World Series game, yep. And it just depends, 680 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Uh 681 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: The problem with how two V is a lot of 682 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: the times it doesn't work out with him, it gets magnified. 683 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: And so maybe that's a new Year's resolution for Roseel 684 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:55,800 Speaker 1: two V. 685 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 2: Like it's okay, man, you're famous. People are gonna notice, 686 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 2: but it's okay. It's all right. You can we all 687 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 2: like you. Like, you're not gonna win new fans outside 688 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,359 Speaker 2: of Houston anyway, and you're not gonna lose any here. 689 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 2: So just be you run around, scoot around on those bases, buddy. 690 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: There's nothing jose Al Tuve could do that would lose 691 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: him any fans in the city of Houston. He has 692 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 1: a free pass for live here. Man is set for life. 693 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: He can do whatever he wants, and he will continue 694 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: to probably do whatever he wants throughout the twenty twenty 695 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: five season.
