Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ryan McTaggart of MLB dot Com joining us as per usual.
Now normally it's for the on Deck Show, and we'll
obviously air this a little bit later on, but I
figured i'd let's let you get in here earlier, Brian,
and let's start right there with with Christian Javier. This
guy has tried to battle back from so much, as
so many pitchers have on this Astros roster, and it hasn't.
(00:23):
It's been mixed bag of results, let's put it that way,
but probably not the type of outing he wanted in
his first start here in twenty twenty six. How much
pressure you think he's putting on himself to try and
get back to old form here tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, I think he probably is just out of human nature.
I mean, he's you're right, I mean he was out
over here, and you know he came back last year
and you know, had his ups and downs in spring training.
Even though he put up some pretty good numbers, you know,
the stuff just didn't look the same like it was
last year.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Velo's down a bit. I mean, he's a.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Guy that's got that rising fastball that looks like it
come a little harder than it is and we've seen
that at times, but just not getting the swings and misses.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Like we've seen before. But you know, this is a chance.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know, second start, we saw that Mike Burrows, you know,
made some improvements in his second start. Hunter Brown got
better in his second start, So I'm anxious to see
how he does the second start. And not only that,
e Ma too later in this e I two later
in this series, and in his second start as well,
because he didn't even get out of the third any.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, it's interesting because you talk about really the three
guys that are about to go in succession, and we
had question marks about all of them for different reasons.
What did you see from Emi in that first start?
He said he was nervous himself, And what do you
hope to see from him in game two of the series.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, I mean, I think you got to chock it
up to Neard. I mean, he's pitching it in the
big leagues for the first time ever, and he even
said he watched all these guys on TV and now
he's facing them. So it's not just a guy making
his major league debut. It's a guy who's debuting for
the first time in a new country. So a lot
going on. So yeah, I mean he's just got to
be in the strike zone a little bit more and uh,
(02:06):
not walk guys, just just throw more strikes. You know,
he had a good couple of innings and then you
know things started to get away from the third he
walked a couple of guys and they went ahead and
yanked them. So, uh, you know, a chance to do
it against a lineup that has got some guys who
can really swing it. You know, Nick Kurtz killed them
last year. You know, I think he hit five hundred
against the Astros and like nine homers, and Langoleers is.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Off to a hot start. So this is not it's
it's not.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Even though the A's aren't probably one of the teams
people are looking at the contend to this division, they
do have some guys that can swing the bat.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So it's going to be a challenge for all three
of these starters.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, I do want to get to that offense or
lack thereof this season, I guess in just a minute.
But as we're talking to, Brian mctagger of MLB dot Com,
got to ask you about Lance McCullers junior. So many setbacks,
so many restarts, resets. You feel like you're taking out
the cartridge from the original Nintendo and blowing in it
to try and get the thing to work. He had to,
(03:00):
and I think a lot of people in that clubhouse
and even Astros fans felt good for him to have.
Like I'm gonna say it right now, nobody saw that
star from Lance mcculler's junior coming.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I don't think No, I don't think so either.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I mean, you know, maybe lanced it and his family,
but to pitch seven innings, strikeout nine, and and just
be as good as he was, and yeah, good for him.
I mean, he had so many setbacks, and I think
one of the biggest things for him was just the
fact that he wasn't hurt this offseason. He just had
he had a normal off season getting ready for the season.
On the last four or five years, it's always been
(03:33):
rehab and grinding through rehab and all the stuff that
comes with that. And he's still he was still working
hard in the weight room and getting his work in,
but he didn't have to worry about his health. And
now he's sort of you know, he's he's changed his
mechanics a little bit, you know, the way he pitches,
and he's not a guy that's gonna pitch out of
the zone anymore. He's gonna come at you with the
(03:55):
two seamer and the four seamer. Maybe not as much
the breaking stuff anymore. Like we saw when he threw
all the curve balls. He's gone away from that a
little bit. But it's interesting because he said in spring
training like, I don't want to strike people out. I
don't want to chase strikeouts. I want to get early
contact and get out of here. And he ends up
striking nine guys out his first time out. So he
still has swinging miss stuff, and uh, let's see if
(04:17):
he can build on that great first start that he.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Had, no no, no doubt about it. You're on Alvarez.
It was said it all last season.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Man.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
This team is just snake bitten with injuries, and if
they had been even remotely healthy, I just thought it
was hilarious that the Seattle Mariners had to come in
and sweep the Astros basically on one of the final
weekends of the season. Uh, to barely win the division
for a team that just could not get out of
its own way from an injury standpoint. If the Astros
(04:48):
are even like twenty percent healthier in some way, shape
or form. I think they win the division last year.
And if you're on Alvarez plays even half more or
you know, fifty percent more games than he did last year,
I think you're talking about the Astros winning that division.
Not only is he back, the guy looks like an
absolute freak. I know we're only seven games in, but
he looks very much back to his old self. And
(05:10):
he said he saw some things while he was out,
like made an adjustment. This is just insane that this
guy could actually maybe be better.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, his first week.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The way he's swinging the bat, I mean, he's swinging
the bat like a guy that wants to win the
MVP this year.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And I think you're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I mean, he played forty eight games last year, actually
missed playoffs by one game. There's no doubt if he's
in the lineup the entire season, or even if he
misses fifty games, they make the playoffs. And I agree
with you, they probably win the division. You know, he
came back in the middle of September last year and
was mashing, and then he stepped on home plate against
the Rangers and spraining his ankle. But and that was
(05:47):
just like that was like the death knel of the
season for me right there. That and losing hater down
the stretch. But yeah, I mean, if he can keep
this up, he could be poised for his best season ever.
I mean, I think he's a guy that he hasn't
hit forty homers in the season and yet, but he's
on his way.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I mean he should have two more.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I mean the ball hit the roof, and man, he
smoked one the other day the dead center that would
have been out of twenty five other parks. So he
is so dangerous right now, We've already seen teams walk him.
He's just when he comes to the plate, you got
to sit up and watch him.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Does he have the record for most balls hit in
places you've never seen in that stadium before?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Both good and bad? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I hit the one in the upper deck a few
years ago, I guess his rookie year, down the line
and they put a seat up there, and then they
took that out for a club. And then the ball
on top of the batter's eye in the World Series.
Never seen hit one there before, never seen hit one
there since. And then the ball that hit the roof.
I mean, we've all seen balls hit the roof at
dyke In, but that was way down the field. That
thing was all the way way over the fence. If
(06:48):
he looked at the right fielder, he was standing at
the fence just waiting for it to go over his.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Head and the roof bailed him out.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
But yeah, you're exactly right, he's there's not a ballpark
in America that can hold him, even one.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
With the roof.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It's been pretty incredible to see what he's done in
a very brief time, all things considered as an Astro
and hopefully keep stacking those statistics and helping the Astros
win more games. We're talking to Brian McTaggart of MLB
dot Com this offense. I know it's very early, but
kind of that's kind of the theme carrying over from
from the questions about Jordan Alvarez, just some of these
(07:21):
guys that that weren't healthy last year at times, just
them being in the lineup, but you have that ageless wonder.
Jose Altuve, Wex and I were talking about this yesterday.
He's convinced that if the Astros make the postseason that
Manny Ramirez, you know, all time home run postseason leader,
that mark is going down. You you agree with that
(07:43):
if jose al Tuove just gets the reps in the
postseason and it's not two games and out like it
was against Detroit a couple of years ago, that that
record is gonna get smashed.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The home run record, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I
think he's two behind him. Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
If they get to you know, a five game series,
he's seven game series. He's going to do that.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
You got you know, in twenty twenty two when they
won the World Series, Josel Toomey did not have an
RBI in the playoffs, which.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Is crazy, which is really mind boggling. I don't think
that would ever happen again.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
But yeah, if I think if they can get in
a you know, make another little bit of a run
in the playoffs, that that street would that mark would
be Jeffrey. I think it's twenty nine homers for Manny.
But Correa said an interesting thing the other day about
about al tu Bay was that he's benefiting from the
the ABS system. You know, he's walked more times than
he's struck out, and in last year he struck out
(08:35):
twice as many times as he walked. But he's also
he's not chasing out of the zone. He's not swinging
uh in the zone as much. He's taking more pitches
and that's all part of the philosophy and the Astros
have had all off season in the spring to make
the pitchers work and take more pitches. But he also
knows that he's got the abs in his back pocket.
Now we've seen him challenge a couple of times on
(08:55):
pitches that were around two inches off the plate and
he got both of those. So I think pictures are
having to come into him a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I mean, he's five to six.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
His strike zone is shorter than other guys that I mean,
it's all it's all measured now, it's computerized. He does
not have the same strike zone as his teammates, So
I think that is that is something that he's taken
advantage of so far, very early, but definitely off to
a big start for all two the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I'm glad you brought that up because both with him
individual and you kind of answer the question there at
the end, but with the team and then just across
Major League Baseball. But since you cover the Astros, we'll
just keep it with them. It is very early, sample size,
very small, but I do feel like, you know, that
lends itself to what Joe Aspot has talked about and
what we've kind of seen. The Astros look super patient
(09:44):
in their approach at the plate. And it doesn't really
matter who you're talking about. I can't really pinpoint one
guy who looks like, ah, he's swinging at everything or
he's rushed. Like the team wide approach at the plate
I think has lend it lent itself to this success
early on.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, it's like they've all become Estak Peretis at the plate,
taking lots of pitches and working counts. You know, we
saw early in the spring when they hit great fruit
Lee play they were you know, they were getting like
seven to eight walks a game and Joe was getting excited. Yeah,
I mean most of those at bats were by guys
who weren't going to.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Make the team.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
But clearly it's something that the new hitting coaches and
they're new. The way they overhauled their hitting in the offseason,
it's something they really stressed. It was something they got
away from last year. Just way too many strikeouts, not
enough walks. They got to keep it up over. I
mean it's only what April second or third, so we
have a long way to go. But yeah, definitely the
new approach on offense is paying off because they're getting
(10:35):
a ton of guys on base real quick.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Before I'll let you go three in Oakland not Oakland.
You know, I was going to do that at least
once during this conversation. Three in Sacramento, three in Colorado,
and then the big one four in Seattle. Astro's record
after they come home from these ten games.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Let's see, I'll say, I'll say six and four. I mean,
the Rockies aren't really good. Seattle is going to be
a tough matchup. But if you can go six and
four in a ten game road trip, so you would
come home eleven and my math rd eleven.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And four, that sounds right to me.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
On the fly, thank you would eleven and yeah, eleven
and six year I knew that it is okay, eleven
and six.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I think you take that.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I mean, if you can at least split on a
ten game road trip, I think you'll be happy with it.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
But if you can do well this series.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Beat up on the Rockies and then you know, try
to get a split at Seattle.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I think they'll take that.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
S Brian McTaggart of MLB dot com, providing us a
ton of insight and even a little bit of on
the fly mask Brian, we appreciate the time and we'll
catch up with you next week on the on Deck Show.
Speaker 3 (11:39):

not have the same strike zone as his teammates, So
I think that is that is something that he's taken
advantage of so far, very early, but definitely off to
a big start for all two the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I'm glad you brought that up because both with him
individual and you kind of answer the question there at
the end, but with the team and then just across
Major League Baseball. But since you cover the Astros, we'll
just keep it with them. It is very early, sample size,
very small, but I do feel like, you know, that
lends itself to what Joe Aspot has talked about and
what we've kind of seen. The Astros look super patient
(09:44):
in their approach at the plate. And it doesn't really
matter who you're talking about. I can't really pinpoint one
guy who looks like, ah, he's swinging at everything or
he's rushed. Like the team wide approach at the plate
I think has lend it lent itself to this success
early on.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, it's like they've all become Estak Peretis at the plate,
taking lots of pitches and working counts. You know, we
saw early in the spring when they hit great fruit
Lee play they were you know, they were getting like
seven to eight walks a game and Joe was getting excited. Yeah,
I mean most of those at bats were by guys
who weren't going to.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Make the team.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
But clearly it's something that the new hitting coaches and
they're new. The way they overhauled their hitting in the offseason,
it's something they really stressed. It was something they got
away from last year. Just way too many strikeouts, not
enough walks. They got to keep it up over. I
mean it's only what April second or third, so we
have a long way to go. But yeah, definitely the
new approach on offense is paying off because they're getting
(10:35):
a ton of guys on base real quick.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Before I'll let you go three in Oakland not Oakland.
You know, I was going to do that at least
once during this conversation. Three in Sacramento, three in Colorado,
and then the big one four in Seattle. Astro's record
after they come home from these ten games.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Let's see, I'll say, I'll say six and four. I mean,
the Rockies aren't really good. Seattle is going to be
a tough matchup. But if you can go six and
four in a ten game road trip, so you would
come home eleven and my math rd eleven.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And four, that sounds right to me.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
On the fly, thank you would eleven and yeah, eleven
and six year I knew that it is okay, eleven
and six.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I think you take that.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I mean, if you can at least split on a
ten game road trip, I think you'll be happy with it.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
But if you can do well this series.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Beat up on the Rockies and then you know, try
to get a split at Seattle.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I think they'll take that.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
S Brian McTaggart of MLB dot com, providing us a
ton of insight and even a little bit of on
the fly mask Brian, we appreciate the time and we'll
catch up with you next week on the on Deck Show.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
