00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: The guy guy's been covering me for the last eight years, and.

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: I was about to go into the Lambo getting all

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: the attention at the car show with all the spider

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: with the Spider Man decals and things of that nature.

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: How how did the Lambo go over at the at

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: the car show at Dyke and.

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: I saw it, I heard and got a lot of

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: great responses from it. We didn't get there till after lunch,

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: but it was great. It's a great turnout. A lot

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: of people showed up. I kind of blended in well,

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: which was nice. So I kind of walked by it

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: a couple of times just to kind of like hear

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 2: what was being said about it. But yeah, I mean

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 2: you walked by. Everybody's taking pictures with it. I took

22
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: pictures plenty of fans and got the talking people. We

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: talk to a lot of people. But you know, I

24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: think my kids had a blast. You know, my my

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: my racer saw the F one red Bull car, so

26
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: he was ecstatic because that's Max for stapping, that's his favorite.

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: But they had all kinds of crazy cool cars, man cars.

28
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: You never even think we're real on the field if

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: you haven't seen pictures. I mean these look like maybe

30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: long on the planet Jupiter, but just some BA cars.

31
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: And if you can't translate BA and move on.

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: Bachelor of Arts Baseball America. That's what we all.

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 4: My local car show just takes place in a target

34
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: parking lot about every day as far as I'm concerned.

35
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: Every time Friday night around eight o'clock.

36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's just like thirty dudes with cars in the

37
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: back of the target parking lot.

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: I remember those days.

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: That's all I'd pay to go to that too.

40
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: I don't have to just show up.

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: Sure, go inside and get you a couple of things

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: and come on out. Hell.

43
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that should be our next live That should

44
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: be our first remote, if we ever do a remote

45
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: on these things, that should be our next thing. First

46
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: of all, before we get into this shout out to listener.

47
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: Jorge Garcia in Miami brought a printed out copy Rush

48
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: City Territory logo asked me to sign it. That's the

49
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: first autograph I think I've ever signed on the field

50
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: in eight years of doing this. He wants both Josh

51
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: and Tyler to sign it, and I hope he gets

52
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: his wish. I hope both of you can get that sign.

53
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: We're making it the big time when people are printing

54
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: out our logo and wanting us to sign it. I

55
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: know that's old hat for you, Josh, but for me,

56
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool.

57
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: Hey, that's awesome, Manti. Anytime you have fans of any sort, man,

58
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: you're you're doing something right. So congrats to you, congrats

59
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: to him. So yeah, hopefully we can get to the

60
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: ballpark and get Tyler's John Hancock on it, and then.

61
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: I hope that this is how Chandler gets served in

62
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: the future. Somebody comes up with a folder with the

63
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 4: Crush City logo on it and then you just get

64
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 4: served papers. That's what I'm hoping for now.

65
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: I have a lot of different things that could get

66
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: served for that's neither here nor there. The Astros are

67
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: currently in New York. They will open a three game

68
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: series tonight in the Bronx, and in commemoration of that,

69
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: we wanted to show what I believe is the best

70
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: picture ever taken of the Astros Golden era. If you

71
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: can't see it on if you're not watching on YouTube

72
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: with us, and you're just listening on audio, this is

73
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: from Game three of the twenty nineteen American League Championship Series.

74
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: D D.

75
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: Gregorius hit a very deep flyball to right field where

76
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: Josh Reddick was standing and waiting, and it looks, Josh,

77
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: you should get this commissioned as an oil painting.

78
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: It gets better the more you look at this picture,

79
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: because if you can zoom in on all the faces

80
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: of fans reactions, especially the guy that's right over the

81
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: S and W. B. Mason, he's just literally screaming at

82
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: me to drop it. I can remember that man exactly

83
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: screaming miss that. Probably some other stuff. But anytime you

84
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: can look at I mean, the whole pan of everything

85
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: is just great reality all around, and what a great

86
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: moment because everybody.

87
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: Like the guy hand on hand on the chin, just like,

88
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: oh man.

89
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: Well, if you watch the if you watch the video,

90
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: Garrett thought he gave it up.

91
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: We all did like all that.

92
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: Like I think Garrett does the whole sink to the knee,

93
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: sink and knee sort of thing when a pitcher thinks

94
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: he gave it up off the bat. I think d

95
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: d thought he got it, and I guess it just

96
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: died at the wall at Yankee Sating, which is not

97
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: usually a thing that happens in the high It does not,

98
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: it does not. Those things do not usually die in

99
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: either short porch. So I guess that's the avenue to

100
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: talk about. Josh, you're the expert here. What's it like

101
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: playing in the Bronx, playing in right field, playing in

102
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: that environment, that the that the Ashers are going to

103
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: go to for three games this weekend?

104
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 2: Hostile. It's a hostile environment, but it is electric to

105
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: play there. I you know, personally, I never really did

106
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: all that well there, but I love going in there

107
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: because I kind of feed off that, and it was

108
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: it was so much fun to just be there and

109
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: listen to everybody just hate on all of us, and

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: especially when you know, I think we've won probably like

111
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: eighty percent of our games there in the last ten years,

112
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: so that that definitely helped, including playoffs. But electric. I mean,

113
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,559
Speaker 2: as soon as you walk into that stadium, you feel

114
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: how you know historic it can be, and the amenities

115
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: as you've seen Chandler five Star and you've just seen,

116
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: you know, the clubhouse and the walk to the dugout,

117
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: like you know, the food room, oh my gosh, the

118
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: best in the big leagues, the weight room, the training room,

119
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: like everything. Has a great lounge which you don't get

120
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: in the visiting side a whole lot, but it has

121
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: like the most comfortable chairs all around. You got you know,

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: massage chairs, hanging out in the lounge. You've got anything,

123
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: anything you want the chef can find. I know you

124
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: hear that a lot, but I mean I'm talking anything.

125
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: This is probably one of the only stadium where you

126
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: can get anything you want to have to eat. But

127
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean when you walk out there, you got, first

128
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: of all, you got air conditioning and heated dugouts built in.

129
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: That's obviously great. But then you walk out on the

130
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: field and as soon as you get out there, you're

131
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: getting booed and all kinds of crazy things yelled at

132
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: you that can't bear repeating. From age to like seven

133
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: to about eighty seven, I've been called some things by

134
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: a seven year old that I didn't even know seven

135
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: year olds knew in that ballpark. And you know, the

136
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: funny part is everybody laughs, like as soon as the

137
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: seven year old said it, the whole bleachers laugh, the

138
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: security laugh, the dad laughing. So it's it's great. It's

139
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: you know, some great parenting. But I mean, the one

140
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: thing I can't say positive about him, they're They're fantastic

141
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: and a loyal fan base when it comes to watching

142
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: their Yankee. So it's always fun to go in there

143
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: because it's loud, it's usually sold out, and you just

144
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: feed off of that. It gives you more adrilline and

145
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: more reason to kind of stay locked in and focused.

146
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 4: Do you think they'll remember L two van Korea? You

147
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: think they'll have anything for them?

148
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, especially if they're hitting like three four.

149
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: It's going to be a very loud probably five minutes.

150
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, you know, oh, you hear it

151
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: all the time about two day, every time you're watching

152
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: on TV, you hear it pretty loud. So I mean,

153
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: there never wants to shy away from booing and and

154
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: all that kind of mess. I'm sure it'll be a

155
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: little bit more incentive to probably boo Korea now that

156
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: he is back in the Asher's uniform. I'm sure he

157
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: got booed as a twin plenty, but now that he's

158
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: back with this team, I think it gives them more

159
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: of an incentate to go out there. But you know what,

160
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: two A thrives off that the more you boo ing,

161
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: the more he drives in Homers and Korea is built

162
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: for that as well. And he's always performed there, performed

163
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: very well there. So it's going to be fun and

164
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: they're not playing so hot, so hopefully that hopefully they

165
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: can go there and shut every one of their mouths

166
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: up pretty quick.

167
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about it's gonna be a hostile environment, it

168
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: may be a more hostile environment toward the Yankees and

169
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: toward you know, the way they have played.

170
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: They have been.

171
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: They've been a fundamental mess the last month month and

172
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: a half. They've they rebuilt their bullpen. They have like

173
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: foe closers in their bullpen, and the three that they

174
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: brought in at the deadline have all faltered in their

175
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: first couple of appearances. One of them got optioned to

176
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: Triple A. It's just not a good time going on

177
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: for the Yankees right now. But I mean there you

178
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: look at the names. Obviously Aaron Judge's back, he's going

179
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: to be I presume Dhing. They've got Stanton, who I

180
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: don't know where he's going to play because if judges Dhing,

181
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: they can't place Stanton anywhere in the outfield. So Stanton

182
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: maybe off the bench. But Stanton has had a propensity

183
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: to really kill the Astros in the last few years.

184
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: He is he probably has come up more clutch against

185
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: the Astros than Judge has. The Astros has done a

186
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: very good job against Aaron Judge the last three or

187
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: four years. Of course, I say that and he'll hit

188
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: He'll hit four homers this week.

189
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: I got you and Josh.

190
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: The weird thing is like you're talking about how hostile

191
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: and and what an electric atmosphere is, Like you never

192
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: played there post everything being revealed, post you know, the

193
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: post the sign stealing scandal, and since it has gotten

194
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: a lot more hostile toward you know, the Astros and

195
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: everybody that walks in there. So it's always going to

196
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: be one of those situations where they walk in there

197
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: and their public enemy number one. But they did that

198
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium earlier this year and they went in

199
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: there and swept them.

200
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: But since that's where it's a fair trade off for

201
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: me though, because I never went to the Yankee Stadium.

202
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 2: But guess it was the first astro to return to

203
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium with fans.

204
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: That's tough. That's a tough trade.

205
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was set up by MLB.

206
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: But that's tough.

207
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 3: And the Dodgers fans loved you already.

208
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 2: Look at that. I mean, look at this one here,

209
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: So you be the judge here, right. So I'm in

210
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: Triple A with the Diamondbacks. I'm in getting ready to whatever,

211
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: and they're playing one more game at Dodger Stadium night game.

212
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: I get called up for a night game at Dodger

213
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: Stadium on a getaway day against David Price. I haven't

214
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: started against David Price since like twenty thirteen. Tell me

215
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: I wasn't set up, didn't you?

216
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: Did you pitch in that game or no?

217
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: No, that was later on. That was uh at the

218
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: All Star break. That one was just a one game

219
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 2: and we lost like four to nothing, four to one

220
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: or something. You pitched it on.

221
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: You pitched in a game that was only four run deficit.

222
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, I'm saying the first time I went back,

223
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: we lost forty one. Next time we went back was

224
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: right before the All Star break, and then we were

225
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: down I think twenty twenty to one. Ah oh, it

226
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 2: was great. I came out of the bullpen, I went

227
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: warmed up to the bullpen and got the jog in

228
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: from the bullpen. And that you want to talk about

229
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: some great booze. That was awesome.

230
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure you hand it up. You savored it.

231
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: I did, and then pooh Holes took me about four thirty.

232
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: It was beautiful.

233
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: Well that's something that can go on your resume, that

234
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: you gave up one of Albert Poohols's seven hundred home runs.

235
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: Well, you know that's a great thing, like when you

236
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: I think I gave up six ninety five, so like

237
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: it would have been cool if like he had gotten

238
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: seven hundred or seven oh one, like right on the dot. Yeah,

239
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: I was the first position player he had taken deep

240
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: in his whole career.

241
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: That's incredible, isn't it. I guess position player pitching didn't

242
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: become like a real in vogue thing until like really

243
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: around now, like the last or so years. So, but

244
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: that is still kind of hard to believe that you're

245
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: the only position player he ever took deep out of

246
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: seven hundred and something homers. That's something let's talk about

247
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: when we get back from the break. We've talked so

248
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: much about Carlos Korea and his return and kind of

249
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: how he fit in. We finally have sample size of

250
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: games to watch him play in. Josh, last time you

251
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: were on it was all hypothetical. It was all like

252
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: we're talking about his twins tenure. We have seen six

253
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: games from Carlos and an Astro's uniform. We'll talk about

254
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: how he has fit into this lineup and how he's

255
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: transitioned to third base. Right after this message from our

256
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: friends of Heal Territory.

257
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: A jam on my phone right now in Arena Club

258
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 5: and I'm looking at the Emerald slab packs and I

259
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 5: see in the grail a Bobby Witt Junior twenty twenty

260
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 5: Bowman Chrome Prospect Auto Gold Refractor card.

00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: Give me that, give me your phone.

262
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna.

263
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 2: Get you to me.

264
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: I don't have it.

265
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: You know you get a slab pack.

266
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: No, I don't have that.

267
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: And give me your slab pack. That card's worth you, Scott.

268
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 4: So I can get the Bobby with Junior Gold Refractor

269
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,599
Speaker 4: twenty twenty Bowman Chrome Auto because that sounds.

270
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: Awesome and it's worth a lot. It's worth a lot.

271
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 3: He's a stud, he's not going down.

272
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: Get a grill. Get a grill. I want a grail, Scott,

273
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: give me the holy grill.

274
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: You do it.

275
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 5: To do that, you must get yourself a slab pack

276
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 5: in Arena Club or if you want to get it

277
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 5: for a friend, you can do that too. And right

278
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 5: now you can get twenty percent off your first slab

279
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 5: pack or your first card purchase if you're going on

280
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 5: there and you're just like, hey, I want a specific card.

281
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 5: I find it there on a grab it for my

282
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 5: showroom Arena Club dot com, slash foul and use the

283
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 5: code foul.

284
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: So we have seen the second first impressions of Carlos

285
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: Korea at third base. As Tyler has so aptly pointed out, Josh,

286
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: what have you thought of the six games that you've

287
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: seen from Carlos? Does it look like vintage the vintage

288
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: Carlos that you played with? And I guess more specifically,

289
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: what have you thought of him? At third base, said

290
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: a new position that I don't think any of us

291
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: thought he'd struggle transitioning to. But still there are some

292
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: big differences, even though he's only sliding over a few

293
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: feet third base.

294
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, he looked great at third.

295
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: Has he really been tested a whole lot? No, I mean,

296
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: but he's making some he's making the routine plays look great,

297
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: and somehow it makes his arm look stronger because he's

298
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: at a shorter distance.

299
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: I mean he is.

300
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: I mean, you watch the camera. It's just so. I mean,

301
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: I think we all knew that, but he's looking great there.

302
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 2: I think the Marlin series really kind of stood out

303
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: more to me than the Finway series, the Red Sox series. Obviously,

304
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: the home run that he hit was great to see,

305
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: but I mean, he's he's shooting the ball all over

306
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 2: the place. He's doing great at you know, he looks

307
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: just like the same hitter, just a little bit older.

308
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: So he's coming around. But I knew that he was

309
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: going to come in here and be a whole lot

310
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: happier than he was in Minnesota, just to be back

311
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: in a winning ball club who was ready to win

312
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 2: and still winning at this point. So I think everybody

313
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: had that feeling when Carlos came over that he was

314
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 2: already going to be so much better than he was

315
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: the last three years in Minnesota.

316
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and you can't really quantify like happiness

317
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: and comfort and Carlos Carlos is a happy dude just

318
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: in general. But it really does seem like, you know,

319
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: coming back around Altuve, coming back around a lot of

320
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: people he's very familiar with with in a franchise that

321
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: has standards and expectations that only a few others in

322
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: baseball do, like the Ashers have put themselves. Maybe not

323
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: from a payroll standpoint, maybe not from a market side standpoint,

324
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: but they have put themselves from an on field expectation standpoint.

325
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: They are up there with the Dodgers and the Yankees

326
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: and the Red Sox like if they don't go to

327
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: the Alcs or go to the World Series like this,

328
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: this season is a failure. And that is the that

329
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: is the kind of the burden of playing for this

330
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: team is you can have a nice season, you can

331
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: exceed expectations. You can I mean, this team at one

332
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: point had eighteen guys on the IL and still no

333
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: one's gonna care if they go to the wild Card

334
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: Series and lose two out of three like they did

335
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: last year to the to the Tigers, or if they

336
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, run up against a hot team in the

337
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Alds and lose, like no one's going to give them

338
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt of oh they had they

339
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: had so many injuries. They let Alex Bregman walk this

340
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: off seat like no they traded Kyle Tucker like no

341
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: one's gonna care. Like the expectations here are you go

342
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: to the ALCS or the World Series of the seasons

343
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: of failure, And that's not the case in Minnesota. And

344
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: I think Carlos thrives in those high pressure, high intensity

345
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: environments needs back in one now.

346
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: Like it's he likes the big lights. He plays the

347
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: big lights, and he likes to be in the spotlight

348
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: and that's when he performs.

349
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: So I mean, you say, you say you can't quantify happiness,

350
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: but we've said all year this is the power of

351
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 4: friendship team. I mean, they this is just all vibes.

352
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 4: That's that's how they've gotten here. So I don't know,

353
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: maybe maybe that is what it.

354
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: Is, Like we talk about, you know, the vibes have

355
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: been high and but I do wonder though, like the

356
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: production on the field is different than the vibes in

357
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: the clubhouse, because like that's the thing, if you walt,

358
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: I was just with them for six games after the deadline,

359
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Like the clubhouse is hopping man, like they're happy. The

360
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: energy's high, like they're bouncing around, Like you really can't

361
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: go in that clubhouse and discern whether they've won or

362
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: lost a game just because everyone's on cloud nine. I

363
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: think Carlos's presence does that. I think we have seen Hayesus.

364
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: Sanchez is certainly a guy that brings a lot of energy.

365
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: His smot he just is smiling a lot. He's happy

366
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: to be here. It's been those additions have been great

367
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: and all, but this team got swept by the Red Sox.

368
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: They took two or three from Marlins. They've only won

369
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: two games since the deadline. They're nine and sixteen since

370
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: the Dodgers series where they swept the Mariners have now

371
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: crept into a game and a half of the American

372
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: League West League. So vibes are great, but they got

373
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: to start winning because the Mariners are creeping up. Josh,

374
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: and I know we have dogged there. You have dogged

375
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: their lineup. We haven't you have said that. You know,

376
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: they don't scare you much, but you look, I mean

377
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: they have. You cannot dispute that they're starting pitching depth

378
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: really really really dwarfs the Astros. You can even say

379
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: they're bullpen depth, because the Astros right now are running

380
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: with basically a two man bullpen of guys that they really,

381
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: really really trust. There are guys that are pitching, okay,

382
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: there are guys that they give leverage innings to, but

383
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: obviously this is Brian A. Brad You and Josh Hater's bullpen,

384
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: and they've got Hunter Brown, they've got from er Valdez,

385
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: don't know a ton behind them. Spencer arigedty Tyler and

386
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: I talked and Josh, you watched the start Spencer Arigedy

387
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: coming back, What did you make of that? It was

388
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: a very odd outing because he got as as many

389
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: whiffs as he did. He you know, the velo was there.

390
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: He was missing bats when he had to. But eleven

391
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: hits in five runs and three and two thirds in

392
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: kind of speaks for itself.

393
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: It does. When you when you go back to that

394
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: first inning, I mean, you can you can say it

395
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: was almost an unlucky first inning because you talk about,

396
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: what was it, five hits under like ninety miles prior

397
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 2: exsit you lows like I think he gave up like

398
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: three infield hits too, Like it was wild to watch

399
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: and that stat line that he put out was just

400
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 2: crazy because that's what happens. If you don't swing and

401
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: missing strikeout, those things can happen. So we ended a

402
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: bit of bad luck. But you know, you could tell

403
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: that there was a little bit of rust coming off

404
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: of everything being back on a big, big mound for him.

405
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: But you know, credit him, it could have gotten worse.

406
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: But you know, these are these are the concerns that

407
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 2: I think everybody is kind of worried about, like are

408
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: these guys going to be able to come back and

409
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: get it done? Where like you look at guys like

410
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: Garcia last night, who had a great outing on probably

411
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: his last rehab appearance. We hope if not one more,

412
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: but that's always a concern, like are these guys gonna

413
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: be able to come back and step in and be okay?

414
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: Hope is yes, but you know it may take one

415
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 2: or two starts to figure that out. But you know

416
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: they're they're show they're going to show faith in these guys.

417
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 2: And you know, guys like Irregetty and Garcia have been

418
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: there before. They know what it takes to pitch to success.

419
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: And you know, when you look back at like what

420
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: the Ashers have done since the Dodgers series, like this

421
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: is the first time we've seen them really struggle in

422
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: this capacity of a stretch, Like they've done a really

423
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: good job of not faltering and you know, really being

424
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: down on the cells with all their injuries. So and

425
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: every team goes to it. So every team goes to it.

426
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: And then you fast forward to the Marlin series, like, yeah,

427
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: on paper, they're only what, right, around five hundred excuse me,

428
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: around five hundred. But before that series they were thirty

429
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 2: five and ten in their last forty five games. They possibly,

430
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: you know, quite possibly the best team in baseball at

431
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 2: the time. So they put a stop to that. They

432
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: went and got, you know, put runs against Sandy al Contra.

433
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: They also got to cal Quantra, who had like six

434
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: starts of one earned run combined. So there's hope that

435
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 2: they're back on the rise when you look at it

436
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: that way. So, I mean, it's behind.

437
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: Often looks good.

438
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: I mean it's a good looking lineup now, I mean,

439
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the concern, you know, going forward.

440
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: It's definitely pitching. I mean you mentioned starting pitching depth,

441
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 4: and you didn't even mention Steven Okert Astro's legend starting pitcher.

442
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 4: So you know, we'll we'll see. But I mean, yeah,

443
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to figure out the rest of the rotation.

444
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 4: Somebody's gonna have to step up here, and you're gonna

445
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 4: have to go back into the mode that we talked

446
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 4: about earlier that you don't want to get into, which

447
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 4: is you got to win, you know, three fourths of

448
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 4: your Fromber and Hunter Brown starts from here on out.

449
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 4: Like you you just you can't lose those starts going forward.

450
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 4: And I don't know what their record is recently, but

451
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 4: they've got to be close to like five hundred in

452
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 4: Fromber and Hunter Brown starts over the last month, month

453
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 4: and a half. So you're you're going to have to

454
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 4: win close to eighty percent of those to have a

455
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 4: real chance going forward.

456
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: Since we're talking about pitching depth, Tyler, we didn't hit

457
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: on this in our last show, and Josh, you watched

458
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: it from the studio. How about aj blueball. Oh that

459
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: was I mean, because I didn't know he had ninety

460
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: seven in him much less than ninety eight more than

461
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: once did that. Yeah, And that was the thing that

462
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: was told to me by a couple of people that

463
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, the ninety eight was great, but that he

464
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: held ninety six toward the end of his outing like

465
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: it was. It wasn't just he came in in a

466
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: short burst and was ninety eight in the first inning

467
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: he threw, and then was ninety three in the second

468
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: like it was. He was pretty steady ninety five ninety

469
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: six and maintaining. And Joe Spottus had something pretty interesting

470
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: on Wednesday that I think is gonna dovetail into this

471
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: depth discussion. He said they did send him a triple

472
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: A after his bulk outing behind Steven Okert. That was

473
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: always gonna be the plan because they needed a roster

474
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: spot for Araghetty. But he said, they're gonna send him

475
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: a triple A and they're gonna work him out of

476
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: the bullpen. They're gonna he may make some starts, but

477
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: like they are tailoring him for the Ryan Gusto role,

478
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: the swingman that obviously Gusto's with the Marlins. Now they

479
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: traded him in the Sanchez deal, but would not be

480
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: surprized if AJ blue Ball is back up here and

481
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: playing the sort of role you saw him play on Tuesday,

482
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: where if they can put an opener in front of him,

483
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: or to be honest with you, if some of these

484
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: injured guys come back and they're only built up to go,

485
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, three or four innings, like like Eric Getty

486
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: or like Javier Garcia, if they only go three or

487
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: four innings to open the game, then you put AJ

488
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: blue Ball in and say, young fella, go for the

489
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: next four innings and let it eat.

490
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 3: He looked.

491
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: It was interesting because his debut against the Tigers in

492
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: April feels like a forever ago. But you could tell

493
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: as you would expect. I mean, he was He's a

494
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: little nervous, little tentative, didn't want to you know, was

495
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: nibbling a little bit, didn't want to really come in

496
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: the zone a lot. Because I think he said this

497
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: after the game, like that game showed him like I

498
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: can pitch at the big league level, and he was

499
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: unsure of that going into the game. You saw a

500
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: completely different kid on Tuesday in Miami, like this was confident,

501
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: this was you know, he is, here's ninety eight, try

502
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: to hit it. And it wasn't against like the bottom

503
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: of their lineup either, Like he blew ninety eight past

504
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Stowers, who was the NL Player of the Month

505
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: in July. That was really eye opening to see aj

506
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: blue blag guy that could really really help this staff

507
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: that needs any sort of stability and needs any sort

508
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: of armed step up.

509
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looked really really good.

510
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I think he'll obviously be good in the bullpen,

511
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 4: but shoot, that's that's that's a starter right there, from

512
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 4: from that outing alone. But I mean, yeah, keep that

513
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 4: up because that that is something that Astros could definitely

514
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 4: need right now.

515
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: And you know, when you look at it, like if

516
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: you look at triple A numbers, he had been doing

517
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 2: the opener piggyback thing for like the last five or

518
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: six after like not being very good for the first

519
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: three months. So he seems to thrive in this piggyback

520
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: role because I think he had but like a two

521
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: five in those piggyback starts, whatever you want to call him.

522
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: So he seems to thrive out of this bull pen roll,

523
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: so to speak. So maybe they found something yet again,

524
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 2: and another picture that clicked, and now they're just going

525
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 2: to continue to run with it because, like you said,

526
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: this is a guy that you know, you get two

527
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: or three out of an opener, and you know, all

528
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: hell breaks lough she giving five or six innings to

529
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: run it out there and you save everybody else, or

530
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: vice versa. You know, you get somebody who can give

531
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: you five and dive and you got a comfortab lead,

532
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: you throw him in there for four as well to

533
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: save those days. So he's perfect for that, Ryan Gusta

534
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: roll right now.

535
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

536
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: And the piggyback tandem system, for those that don't kind

537
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: of know what it is, it's basically what you saw

538
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: on Tuesday in Miami, where sometimes it would be a

539
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: reliever that opens the game. Sometimes it would be like

540
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: we talked about, maybe a traditional starter that's not built up,

541
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: that's only can go three or four innings and then

542
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: aj Blueball or whoever is the back half of the

543
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: piggyback tandem system knows, hey, I'm coming in in the

544
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: fourth inning no matter what. Like they have, they've got

545
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: the fourth inning for me, and he tailor's his routine,

546
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: Taylor's his pregame routine to the point where he can

547
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: still do his pregame as a starter. But just understand that, Hey,

548
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm coming in the fourth inning, so I'm going to

549
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: start my whether it's weighted balls or whatever it is,

550
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: in the bullpen. I can start this in the first inning.

551
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: I'll be ready to go by the fourth inning. Put

552
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: him in the fourth inning, say give us all you got,

553
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: try to get us the end of the game. And

554
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: aj Bluba did an exceptional job of that really opened

555
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: some eyes. And his secondary stuff is still a work

556
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: in progress. Is change up. They were interested to see

557
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: how he's going to command his change up, how he's

558
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: going to command his slider. Those are still things he

559
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: has to get better at. But I think the other

560
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: thing you saw he only threw three pitches on Tuesday.

561
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: It looked like a guy that they are molding to

562
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: put him in the bullpen at some point, because in

563
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: his first outing, I think he threw five or six

564
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: different pitches. He was a lot he was mixing a

565
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: lot more, you know, setting up batters a lot differently.

566
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, it was just look, you got slider, change up,

567
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: forcing just go, and he did that. That's usually what

568
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: you see from a reliever, So would not be surprised

569
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: to see aj blue ball back in a couple of weeks,

570
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: maybe maybe in September as a September call up. Put

571
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: him in the bullpen, try him as a Gusto Brad

572
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: Peacock swing roll kind of thing. See if that works.

573
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: But really eye opening from him in Miami. We'll talk

574
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: about more editions that could be coming to this pitching staff.

575
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: Right after another message from our friends of fel Territory.

576
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 5: It's summertime, it's bathing suit time, and it's time to

577
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 5: get a better bathing suit liner. It's twenty twenty five krats.

578
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 5: I would like to feel more comfortable, and I would

579
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 5: like to thank Fair Harbor for doing that.

580
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 6: It's super easy. Get the Fair Harbor Breeze in it

581
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 6: liner in your shorts. You can go play football on

582
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 6: the beach, you can play paddle ball, and you don't

583
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 6: got to worry about that crappy liner that other bathing

584
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 6: suits have.

585
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 5: It is so comfortable, you gotta check it out. I'm

586
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 5: telling you, it's like but but a baby. You gotta

587
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,960

Speaker 2: Foul.

596
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: Josh, you mentioned Luis Garcia last night. We're recording this

597
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: on Friday, So Luis Garcia pitched on Thursday for Triple

598
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: A sugar Land. Far and away the best rehabs start

599
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: any of these injury guys have made results wise, but

600
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: again you kind of get into the how much do

601
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: you put stock in the rehab start results. The astros

602
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: quite frankly, don't care about results when they go to

603
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: rehab starts. Obviously, if these guys go out there and

604
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: don't get an out, there's some eyebrow raising, But by

605
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: and large, it's more about pitch shape, it's more about VLO,

606
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: It's more about how these guys feel. But to see

607
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: Lauis Garcia punch out seven dudes and four innings, you

608
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: know this was a guy that after his last rehab start,

609
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: told MLB dot Com that, you know, he didn't feel great,

610
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: that he didn't feel as explosive coming down the mound.

611
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: And I think his exact quote was, I feel pretty weird.

612
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious if you look at him pitched, they've

613
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: done a lot to adjust his delivery. They've adjusted his

614
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: arms slot. He's not he's basically kind of throwing from

615
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: the side. Now he's kind of got like a from

616
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: ber arm slot, like almost short arming it to get there. Well,

617
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: we'll see how it looks, but it's looked really interesting

618
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: on the on the video so far. Yeah, and I

619
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: don't know how much of that is. You know, he's

620
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: had so many setbacks and now he's going on twenty

621
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 1: seven months since he's pitching in a big league game. Like,

622
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of that was, just like, look,

623
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: we got to change something to get this rehab accelerated.

624
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: But that was encouraging to see. I think he needs

625
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: I think he'll get one more because pretty consistently they've

626
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: said that he is, that Garcia is behind Hobvier and Joe.

627
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: A spot has seemed to indicate that Christian Hobvier's next

628
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: start will be at the big league level. So I

629
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: think Luis Garcia gets one more start, but they get

630
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: that version of him coming up here. That could be

631
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: a godsend for a team that doesn't really know what

632
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: it's getting behind Hunter Brown and Frombervel does.

633
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: And when you talk about his armslot, that's probably why

634
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: I've had some many setbacks, because you change an armslot,

635
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: you know, you're not just affecting your arm, You're affecting

636
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 2: everything else in your body that you used to pitch.

637
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 2: So we could be looking at that's why. So maybe

638
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: he's now finding a comfortable level to pitch at where

639
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: his body's finally grown into that. When you've gone for

640
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: so long and in one motion, it kind of tends

641
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: to take a time, take time to relearn, or Jesus

642
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: Christ out to learn something else and adjust to that.

643
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, but they definitely get that guy back and

644
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: get the Christian Javier of old back. Then, I think

645
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: you all the concervative pitching fall right out the window.

646
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 4: Boy, you look up all of a sudden and jam

647
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 4: and Payne is back, some guy named Carlos Correaz back

648
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 4: on your team. You got Hobvier coming back, You got

649
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 4: Luis Garcia coming back. At some point they may allow

650
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 4: jord On to step on.

651
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: A baseball field. We'll see.

652
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 4: But I mean, shoot, it's it's coming. It's coming together

653
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 4: here in the nick of time. It's August eighth, so

654
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 4: hurry up.

655
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 2: But the and a half.

656
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: But also they're up.

657
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 4: A game and a half without having any of those guys,

658
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 4: So you can look at it that way of like

659
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 4: season starts right now. Who are you going to take

660
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 4: over thirty games? You know you you're you gotta feel

661
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 4: pretty good about all these guys coming back for the Astros.

662
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: Josh, I'm curious, like we're talking about it pretty openly, like, hey,

663
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: one and a half, well they're one and a half up.

664
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: How much do players pay attention to standings, especially in season?

665
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: How much do you guys look at where other teams are,

666
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: how big your lead is? Anything like that?

667
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: I don't think. I mean, we've never looked at it.

668
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you see it because there's nine hundred TVs

669
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: everywhere in a big club house. But I mean it's

670
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: obviously talked about on TV, but I don't recall anybody

671
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: ever really talking about it going. Man, Hey, guys only

672
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: up a game. We gotta step it up. I think

673
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: that's just outside noise that everybody blocks out. And you know,

674
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: excuse me, when you get to September, like mid September,

675
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: I think that's when you more or less kind of

676
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 2: pay attention to it. But it still doesn't really openly

677
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: talked about, don't. I don't know how it's been for

678
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: the last four years when things like that breakdown.

679
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 4: But well, I mean, outside of a couple of Guardians pitchers,

680
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 4: I think everybody's trying to win every game, so it's

681
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 4: not like it changes your your strategy too much.

682
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: Kind of look at you kind of look back at

683
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: the three games sweep by the Guardians a couple of

684
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and you wonder, like, did the Astros break

685
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: the Guardians system? Maybe because Class A pitched and I

686
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: think two of those three.

687
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 4: Games spiked one about eight feet in front of the

688
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 4: plate first pitch. Who knew that you could bet on

689
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 4: first pitch striker ball?

690
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 3: That is.

691
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: I have had this conversation with players in the Astros

692
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: clubhouse about this since all this has come out, Like

693
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: can you imagine being that? I say this because Draft

694
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: Kings is a huge sponsor of us and we highly

695
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: recommend you do everything, go to DraftKings, do everything you

696
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: can on draftings, code foul, code foul to satisfy all

697
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: of your wagering needs. But can you imagine how I

698
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: don't know if depraid's the right word, but like imagine

699
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: betting on Like is this pitch going to be a

700
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: ball or strike?

701
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: I mean if you.

702
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 4: Would let me bet on will Jose al Tuobe swing

703
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 4: at the first pitch and every at bat?

704
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: I would do it. So I get it.

705
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,959
Speaker 2: Don't they have Don't they have bets on? Like the

706
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl coin toss too?

707
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 3: They got the color of the gatorabe.

708
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's okay.

709
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: We'll find a way no matter what you're talking about.

710
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: I get that it's a Super Bowl, like a billion

711
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: people are watching it like.

712
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 4: A Tuesday night Guardians game. I'm not sure if I'm

713
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 4: betting on one.

714
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: Pitch, right?

715
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: Are you betting on Luis Ortiz's first pitch of Guardians

716
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: Royals on June eighth?

717
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 3: Well, I think that's that's what happened.

718
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: Is someone put maybe you're going to blind bet go Hey,

719
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: I need you know four thousand and one odds here.

720
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: Well, it's also just like the you guys remember when

721
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: the Alabama baseball coach. The former Alabama baseball coach got

722
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: fired for giving insider information that he was scratching his

723
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: starter against LSU. Like some guy went to the sportsbook

724
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: and bet like five figures on a Friday night Alabama

725
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: L s U college baseball game. Like, have some common

726
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: sense here, Like if you're getting inside, maybe don't put like,

727
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: don't put six figures on a college just one hundred.

728
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: Don't be ready, you know, just if we're doing this,

729
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 2: get a translator.

730
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 4: So the headline is going to be the headline is

731
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 4: going to former MLB player Josh Reddick gives gambling advice

732
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 4: on how to get away with inside information.

733
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: Correct. So, in the easiest transition in the history of

734
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: the world, if you were betting on this Yankees Astros series, Josh,

735
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: what would you, uh, how do you think this one's

736
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna go?

737
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 6: Well?

738
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: If you had to, if you had to wager, I

739
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: guess how do you think? How do you think the

740
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: Astra is fair this weekend in the Bronx.

741
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: First of all, I have never and we'll never bet

742
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: on all my life.

743
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: There you go, just.

744
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: Stort throwing that out there, never not even retirement. I

745
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: you know, team's hot, Yankees are not, so you look

746
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 2: to go take two out of three. Obviously, the goal

747
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 2: is to win a series. So get the first one,

748
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 2: get it out of the way, get just you know,

749
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 2: take down a struggling team, don't let them get hot,

750
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: and you know, use this, use that past success to

751
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: keep them going. So I'm looking at two of three.

752
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really hard to go in there to

753
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 2: get a sweep in Yankee Stadium. But I'm saying two

754
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 2: out of three because you got you got your boys

755
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: going one too, you got the horses going. And you know,

756
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: like we just talked about this lineup getting good. Now

757
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: I'll say it, we're a good lineup now. So and

758
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: they're swinging the back. You know, they're getting hits. They

759
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 2: did really well with runners in the scoring position outside

760
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 2: of the last game of the series in Miami. So

761
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: going there, they're gona they're gonna take two out of

762
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 2: three and come home and give Kreya that nice welcome

763
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: back that we all want.

764
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 4: I would imagine too that for professional athletes. You know,

765
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 4: like if I were going out there and someone were

766
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 4: booing me, that would affect me negatively that I would

767
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 4: not be able to handle it. But I would imagine

768
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 4: athletes can just kind of channel energy, whether it's positive

769
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 4: or negative, and just step. It's gonna feel like a

770
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 4: playoff series, you know, like this weekend, it's a it's

771
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 4: a weekend series. In the Bronx. Correa's back, you got

772
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 4: al Tuo. They like, it's gonna feel like a playoff series,

773
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 4: and I could I can certainly see that amping up.

774
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 4: You know a lot of these guys who are just

775
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 4: tired and it's been a slog for the last month.

776
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 4: I could see this really snapping them out of that.

777
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 4: And you can really see that because again that the

778
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 4: offense has looked good over the last six games. Even

779
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 4: though in the Red Sox series they didn't score a ton,

780
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: they had a ton of guys on base in scoring position.

781
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 4: Carried that over in Miami and I see no reason

782
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 4: why they wouldn't be able to do that in New York.

783
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: One thing I'm pretty big on is if we're going

784
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: to criticize people, then we have to also give them,

785
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, flowers and praise when they've turned it around.

786
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: This place has been pretty hard on Christian Walker. Christian

787
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: Walker has a seven to seventy one ops since June

788
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: first watch, he's slugging four forty two. His season OPS

789
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: is now at seven hundred, which again, his start was

790
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: so poor that it's going to take a while for

791
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: the counting stats to Honestly, they probably will not recover

792
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: this season.

793
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 2: The team in RBIs sure, yes.

794
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: His counting stats will not recover this season, will not.

795
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: He will not in the season with an OPS or

796
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: the sort of thing that is commeserate to the contract

797
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: he signed, because the first three months of his season

798
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: were so awful. But he has. He and Yaner Dias

799
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: both the ir das is slugging five nineteen since July first.

800
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: They their renaissance the last you know, month, month and

801
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: a half. Some of it's been not talked about enough

802
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: because he's ok. Paradis got hurt again because Carlos Korea came.

803
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: If those two continue this run, if they continue to

804
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: do this, and you got to remember, they're hitting like

805
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: in a full strength lineup now, they're gonna be hitting

806
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: like fifth and sixth or sixth and seventh some points

807
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: like if they continue that that they are the keys

808
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: to making this lineup scary, like because as it is

809
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: right now, you know, I think you you think, you

810
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: say this is a good lineup right now, but you're not.

811
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 1: You're not totally convinced that this is a one to nine.

812
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: Scared those two guys keep on the way they're going,

813
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: then this lineup suddenly gets a lot longer and it

814
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: is a legitimate, you know, World Series contending lineup. It's

815
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: been those two guys, Josh, those two guys have been

816
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: really the keys for me the last month or so.

817
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it gives you that extension of a lineup when

818
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: you get to guys like two a Korea and if

819
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 2: we see your done back like it helps you know,

820
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: a three team, a three player stretch turn into a

821
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: five player tough stretch of batting in a lineup, so

822
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: these guys stay hot, and especially when you magnify standings

823
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 2: at this point of the season, well the one and

824
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: a half games back, Like, these guys get hot, they're

825
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: gonna get talked about a lot more by helping them,

826
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: you know, solidify this division. And you know, I think

827
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 2: we're forgetting also Jake Myers, Like Jake Myers was having

828
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: a fantastic year as well, and you put him in

829
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 2: your nine hole and you you know, you're looking at

830
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 2: filling in the gap and just the eight seven eight holes.

831
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 2: So I mean, it just becomes a whole lot better lineup.

832
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: But it's great to see Christian Walker come back because

833
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: we you know, at least I won't say we I've

834
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 2: known it's always in there. I'll say it, I've known,

835
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 2: I've seen it. Now we haven't even seen the fullest

836
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 2: extent of Christian Walker. I've always said when he hits

837
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 2: home runs, they usually do come in a good stretch.

838
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 2: So what he's had three on this road tchip already

839
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: with potential to do more damage at Yankee Stadium. You know,

840
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 2: he's he's got the power to go left or right,

841
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 2: and he could go up there and you know, spray

842
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: it all over the place. So for him to come

843
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 2: down and finish and help this team finish strong, I

844
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 2: think we'll help everybody else forget about those first two

845
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: to three months, and you take that into the playoffs

846
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: as well. He continues that in the playoffs, and you

847
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 2: know that's when regular season numbers become irrelevant anyway, because

848
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 2: everybody goes back to zero. So he continues on and

849
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: moves on and nobody will be saying anything bad about him.

850
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: Yep, Josh real before we get out of here, because

851
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: we haven't hardly mentioned him, and I feel bad because

852
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: he's gotten like really, he's gotten diminished by the Korea edition.

853
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: What have you thought of Hayesu Sanchez first six games

854
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: seeing him?

855
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 2: I love it. I was talking to I think it

856
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 2: was Escher Shelby Coppage on the network about how this

857
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: guy never mad. He seems to always be smiling. Every

858
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 2: interview this guy does, it's not even really about baseball.

859
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 2: I think his first postgame interview in Miami was about

860
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 2: how happy he was to be there, who he hung

861
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 2: out with, and what it took to be like in

862
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,959
Speaker 2: that clubhouse. It was like crazy, like he really talked

863
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 2: about baseball, just talked about how happy he is to

864
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 2: be here. I mean, imagine going from a Marlins team

865
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: that you know had zero winning probability in the last

866
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: twelve years and then going to this elite dynasty of

867
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 2: a ball club and you go in there and you know,

868
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 2: we heard him talk about being around guys like Carreau

869
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: to the East or not not East, but like all

870
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 2: the Latin guys, like he's really fell into that group

871
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: really well. But you look at everything he does man.

872
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 2: Every time the cameras on him, all you see is

873
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: pearly whites and he's always having a great time. So

874
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: from the addition of Korea being the you know, that

875
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 2: vocal leader that this team needed in the clubhouse to

876
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 2: help keep them up beat, this is a perfect guy

877
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: who comes in and you know when he walks in

878
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 2: the room, it's like he has this aura of sunshine

879
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: around him that makes everybody instantly a good mood if

880
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: you're not.

881
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, respectfully, he's a big old goober and yeah, and

882
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 4: I love his swing. He he looks like he's having fun.

883
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 4: And again, he doesn't have to be a superstar, you know,

884
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 4: he just has to be a guy that can make

885
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 4: contact and you know, extend that lineup, you know, preferably

886
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 4: make some plays in the outfield. At some point we'll

887
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 4: work on that. But I mean, he's he fits in

888
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 4: the power of friendship vibes for sure.

889
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: Left field. Left field is the hardest outfield position to play, anyway,

890
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 2: everyone says, and if you've never played it, I mean

891
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 2: it's it's hard. I saw him struggle a bit on

892
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 2: some balls that were hit right at him, but you know,

893
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: those are the hardest ones. You don't know if they're

894
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 2: going to top spin or not. And he's done a

895
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 2: pretty good job, so I mean he'll get there. It's

896
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 2: just it's just a work in progress.

897
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, And remember he didn't play a ton of left

898
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: He hasn't played a ton of left field in his

899
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: career because he he was mainly the Marlins right fielder

900
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: and Tyler. You know, the right field in Houston is

901
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: occupied for the time being, so he's going to be

902
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: playing a lot of left field. And it'll be interesting

903
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: to see when he gets back to dike in Park playing.

904
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 3: You know he's.

905
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 4: Asked advice from Altuve on how to play left field.

906
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure he has, but I'd love to hear

907
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: that advice. Actually, It'll be fun to see him in Dyker.

908
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 2: That'd be a good conversation to hear two.

909
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: Guys that are just learning as they go.

910
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 4: There's about a foot difference too. I want to see

911
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 4: them like put some sticky notes on the Crawford boxes

912
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 4: of where they can jump up and hit up there.

913
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 4: I think hayesus Sanchez might be able to rob some

914
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 4: more along the Crawford boxes. Then all too, he'll probably

915
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 4: get a lot closer to that wall than yeah, I'd

916
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 4: be scared of that thing too.

917
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 3: I'm not going anywhere near that.

918
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 2: I'm not running into that thing old a monster, absolutely not.

919
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: No, No, I mean it didn't help him that the

920
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: first left field he played was at Fenway, which, as

921
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, Josh has no foul, has hardly any foul around.

922
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: That is a hard place to play left field.

923
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: No, it's not.

924
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: Is it not easy? Really?

925
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 3: Everything over?

926
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: I had more time there when I played with Boston.

927
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 2: I mean it was literally you know, when I got up,

928
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 2: I think it was I came into our outfil the

929
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: coach was at that time to Marlow, hail comes up.

930
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 2: He goes, if it's over your head, turn around if

931
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 2: it goes out, So what if it's hit at you

932
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 2: just come in and get it. Everything else is not

933
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 2: your fault, I guess. And the ball does come back

934
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 2: like if it's down the line, it tends to come

935
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: back into fair But like for me, it was always easier.

936
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 2: You just had to play the you know the Rick

937
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 2: coochet off.

938
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: Well, I'm thinking about that. I think it was in

939
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: the first game, that sacrifice fly that got hit down.

940
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: You do have that that got hit down the line.

941
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: There's no foul territory, so he had to like basically decide,

942
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: like do I let this ball drop? Do I catch

943
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: it and risk the run scoring like that? That was

944
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: my thing, is like there's no foul ground down the

945
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: down the left field line, and he got a couple

946
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: of those balls that it was just hard to judge

947
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: which the stands, how much was left. So again he

948
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: got thrown into the fire and got some difficult plays.

949
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: And I think it'll get better, but I don't. He's

950
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: not here to play defense. He's here to hit right

951
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: handed pitching, which he's very good at and you have

952
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: seen so far, and hopefully for the Astros and for

953
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 1: their fans, he will be good at it this weekend

954
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: in the Bronx where they will face two right handed

955
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: pitchers to start the series. Then Max Freed goes on Sunday,

956
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: so maybe we see, Hey, sus Sanchez's first day off

957
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday against Max Freed, But who knows. If he's

958
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: forcing his way into lineup, maybe Joe will find a

959
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: way to get him in there. We will be back

960
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: to talk about the end of that series on Sunday

961

970
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: everyone stays safe in the Bronx this weekend, both on

971
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Astros, because, like I said, the

972
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: way the Yankees are playing, their fans may end up

973
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: turning on them before they turn on the Astros. But

974
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: critical three games in the Bronx this weekend as the

975
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: Mariners welcome the Rays in the T Mobile Park. You're

976
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: at the point now where you're looking at schedules and

977
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 1: you're looking at who's got the easier series this weekend.

978
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: I think the Astros certainly do not have an easy

979
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: series in the Bronx, but they are playing a playing

980
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: a struggling team. The Mariners are at home, so it'll

981
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how that goes. But one and

982
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: a half game lead with forty seven left to go

983
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: will be on Crush City territory. We'll be here to

984
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: take you home for the final forty seven games, but

985
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,479
Speaker 1: thank you guys for watching and we'll be back soon.
