Adam Clinton and Adam Wexler are the A team already.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Talks so much football today we might talk more here,
but it's not football at five today on a Friday,
as per usual. Instead, it is a chat with Chandler
Roma of the Athletic covering the Houston Astros in Major
League Baseball. The Astros ten game homestands started poorly, though
they won the opening series, now a four game series
against the Angels, three games with the Yankees follow and Chandler,
(00:30):
as we open things up here today, I wanted to
go back to something the Astros indicated would take place
over the next handful of days. Short term, though we've
talked about it at length, the handling of their six
man rotation, specific the current handling of Lance mcculler's junior
and the very good article you wrote about Luis Garcia
and his immediate future. If there aren't any further injuries
(00:53):
to the starting pitching options and aj blue Ball for
that matter, what do you think the future holds for
both of those two pitchers, Luis and Lance.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Well, I think it's I think it'd be logical to
think that Louis Garcia is gonna be activated on Monday,
because on Monday, rosters expand you can add one pitcher
and one position player to get it up to twenty eight.
It would make a lot of sense that he would
be the pitcher that they add Monday. Is TBA As
far as who's starting the game, Pitching coach Josh Miller
(01:25):
told me in that story that you just referenced that
initially they do not want to put Louis Garcia in
the bullpen. So put two and two together, and it
sounds like Louis Garcia would probably start that Monday game.
As far as mccullor's in the bullpen, I can't come
up with situations in which he'd be used in a
(01:46):
game where it's close. Perhaps if there is a situation
like tonight with Christian Hobvier's last start where he went
two innings and they had to piece it together after that,
you know, maybe that's a situation where comes into a
game that's that's closed, but that was a that was
an unforeseen circumstance. Your starter doesn't usually go two innings.
(02:07):
I quite frankly, I'd probably say Lance is probably one
of the last people on the on the kind of
the bullpen hierarchy right now, just given that they can't
use him as a traditional reliever, they can't get him
up in the fifth inning, and then you know, put
him in the middle of an inning that that's just
not what he's conditioned to do. They've got to tell
him when they're gonna put him in. Everything's got to
(02:29):
be pre planned. Everything's got to be you know, set
in stone beforehand, because he's never done this before. So
you know, I know, there seems to be some optimism
floating around that, oh, the stuff's gonna play up, and
this is the because they've people have had it in
their heads for years now that he should be a closer,
I guess, but I don't really see that happening. Could
(02:50):
it get there, sure, I mean maybe, you know, things
evolve over the next month, but that I don't really
see a real defined role for him right now.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Out of them, we have a relatively healthy team, and Jake
Myers possibly returns before the end of this home stand.
I would imagine he gets his second game of rehab
work tonight for the Space Cowboys played two days ago.
I had the off day or he took the off
day yesterday, and presumably that's the plan. They have him on.
Do you think they've essentially settled in on the top
(03:21):
five in the order on a pretty regular basis Paenya
Alvarez Altuve Korea, Christian Walker.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, I mean, I think those are the guys you're
going to see every day. I think there's still could
be some moving around with the order, with the I
know lineup construction is fascinating to some people. I don't
think it matters that much, but I mean, I think
you could see maybe Jordan not hit second, maybe it's
third some days. It just kind of depends. But yeah,
I mean those five guys are going to be in
(03:49):
the top five of the order somewhere. Maybe if there's
a righty that hey, sus Sanchez profiles really really well against,
maybe they try to get him up in the order
to really break up that glut a righting. Maybe he
hits fifth instead of Walker, and Walker goes to sixth.
But yeah, those are gonna be the five guys that
are going to play, regardless of handedness on the mound.
You'll you'll, I know you're seeing hay Sue Sanchez tonight
(04:10):
against the left handed starter, but that is not going
to be the norm.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
You pointed it out on the X platform. I'll give
people the numbers specific to it. Tyler Anderson has reverse
righty lefty splits this season. Right handed batters, he's a
left handed pitcher. Right handed batters have a seven to
twenty eight OPS against him and hit two thirty two.
Left handed hitters have a nine to eighty ops and
hit three to zero.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
One.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Just wanted to acknowledge that he clarify as you pointed
that out earlier.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yes, yeah, I mean, and then look, I think you
saw him. He played against Max Freed in his first
road trip with the Ashers, only because Hayesus Sanchez has
great career numbers against Max Freed. And look, there's certain
lefties where it makes some sense, but the Astros in
my from what I had understood, they want to avoid
him basically at all costs against ninety five percent of
(05:02):
the left handed pitchers in the sport.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Hey, speaking of starters tonight, how much how much personal pressure?
Just how much is writing on Christian Javier having a
good outing, especially when you consider that, you know, Eric
Getty kind of found his way after a rough start
to his last outing. He kind of looked more like himself.
In other words, Christian Javier has has yet to really
(05:25):
do that this season since coming back from his injury.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, I think this is a big start for him.
I don't know if it's you know, make or break.
I don't know. He's not certainly not on borrowed time.
They're going to give him time because he's fourteen months
out for Tommy John. But yeah, I mean, he's got
to get them deeper into games. He's got to command
the ball better. The walks have been very uncharacteristic for
full strength Javier. You saw him walk guys on his
(05:48):
minor league rehab assignment, and look, that's part of the
comeback from Tommy John. His command is sometimes difficult to harness.
So yeah, they need him to They need him to
be good, They need him to get deep. And yes
they needed to be good, sure, but more than anything
they needed to get they needed to get some length
they needed to get. They need him to get them
into at least the sixth inning tonight, to save the
(06:09):
bullpen so they don't have to keep overworking this bullpen. That.
You know, the other thing we didn't really talk about
with the mccullors thing, this is now a bullpen that's
got seven guys in it. Usually a bullpen has eight guys,
so it's a shorthanded bullpen already with two long relievers
and blue Ball and mccollors, so they're essentially working with
a five man bullpen in a traditional sense. So it
(06:31):
just puts more onus on the starters to get deep
into games.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Jordan Alvarez three games back on the roster, five walks,
and he hit a monster home run. Health Wise, all
steam signs point to him having no issues with that.
I hope that's accurate, and watching him hit, he looks
much better than any version we saw this season. Would
you agree.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I don't know you're asking me about health of a player.
I don't want journalism professor Damiko Ryans to come after
me for if I say something wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You're not supposed to speculate even when they don't tell
you what the information is. That was the part of
I was sitting there when he said all that, and
that was the part of it, Like, you're telling us
to not speculate while providing us the ammunition that forces
us to speculate.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Dude played middle linebacker in the SEC and the NFL,
and is that thin skinned what a what a? What A?
What a guy? But anyway, Yeah, he looks fine to me.
They did the rock He isn't throwing any strikes, so
he didn't really swing at many of them, but he
swung at the one that went to dead center field
for a massive home run. Yeah. I think it's gonna
(07:38):
be one of these things. He We've asked him numerous
times whether he's still battling or feeling stuff with the hand,
and no answer has included the word no. He just
kind of said, well, I'm here. Well I'm trying my best.
So I think if you're reading between the lines a
little bit, there probably is still a little bit of
stuff he's dealing with. But their managed it the best
(08:00):
they can. He's still a I mean he's swinging at strikes,
he's not swinging at balls. You see what he's able
to do when he gets a change up down to
the plate and just puts it out the dead center field.
But we talked about it before. While he's on the
injured list, his presence in the lineup is just just
him being there. I mean, you saw it in the
first game against the Rockies, like the two four pitch
(08:22):
walks he took like those pitches were nowhere close, Like
they didn't want to have anything to do with him.
They were just like, just get Christian Walker up there,
we'll deal with him. So it's yes, the production is
obviously going to help, and just him being Jordon's gonna help,
but just the mere left handed presence and just his
kind of aura is going to change the complexion of
this lineup totally.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Did you happen to catch the broadcast where they were
talking about Chaz not wanting to have the hit by
pitch and then he ends up scalding a single right
after that, looking like he was a genius all along.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I mean, yeah, I mean Chas should want to Chad
should want to get every at bat he can and
do that. Yeah, I didn't see that, but but yeah,
I mean you should want to be able to hit
the ball because you know, Chaz has a Chazz's hold
on a roster spot is not secure right now, especially
with you know, Jake Myers coming back. They got Taylor
Tremmell rehabbing, they have Zach Dezenzo rehabbing. You know they're
(09:19):
gonna have They're gonna have some outfield shuffling here in
a little bit and you know it, you know, but
Chaz is they he's kind of settled into his role
as a fourth outfielder, as a guy that's gonna kind
of come in and may face a right handed leverage,
leverage reliever. But yeah, I mean he's good for him.
He needs he needs to he needs more at bats
like that to just give himself some confidence and to
(09:41):
keep building going forward.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
You mentioned that additional roster spot coming when the rosters expand.
Do you think Saysar Salazar figures into that. Obviously he'll
be on the roster regardless because of the timing of
it in the seven day IL concussion for Victor Obviously
diners in the lineup tonight. Bryce Matthews could provide an
element of speed that they could use off the bench,
and he was just here, But what do you think
(10:04):
they do with that additional position player spot.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Or wait till well, No, I was about to say,
I think they could wait till Monday and activate Myers
and that'd be their position. That'd be the technically the
one new edition on Monday. But after that, you know,
like I just said, they've got Tremmell rehabbing, They've got
Dezenzo rehabbing. You know, Decenzo has options left, so they
can just option him if they don't want him on
the big league club. But Tremmel doesn't have options left,
(10:28):
so there's still some some some stuff they need to do.
I think just given the uncertainty around Diez's risk, obviously
he's in there tonight, but I think it's still giving
him some issues. And you know, Keratini coming off a concussion,
that's not a it's not just a clear like, hey,
let's have him full go. I think they'll have to
ease him back into when he comes back from the concussion.
(10:49):
So yeah, I think it would make sense for them
to keep Salazar on the roster, just just some insurance.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
The pitching side of the injuries. Last thing, do you
think any of those pitchers, Rooney Susa, I guess more
specifically because we already know about Hater situation, do you
think there's a possibility they're pitching again this season?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I mean Susa could fall into the hater category of
he could start throwing in a week or two and
if it feels good, you know, maybe they get him
back for a potential playoff series. But I think they're
just they're running out of days. I think they're running
out of I mean, and if you believe Josh Hater
and as I mean Josh Hater, what he said is
kind of true for all pitchers. Like if I'm out
for three weeks, I need three weeks to build up. Well,
(11:30):
Bennett Susa, if he's gonna be out for two weeks,
he was out a week later than his injury happened
a week later than Josh Hater. If he's out for
two weeks, needs two weeks to build back up, then
needs to go on a rehab assignment face some some hitters, like,
you're running toward the end of the season at that point.
So maybe he's in the same boat as Hater that
he could kind of get going and maybe be back
for a potential playoff series. But yeah, I don't. I
(11:53):
don't think he's coming back anytime soon. I wouldn't. I would.
I don't think the Ashers are counting on it. I'll
put it to you that way.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Can we expect a full Texans Rams preview from you
a week from today?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Oh? Sure, man, I mean I'll I'll be paying more
attention to the team, I guess than the coach who's
just worried about what reporters are reporting. That's real, real
good priorities they got going on over there.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Can we expect a prediction from you now? On Clemson LSU,
will Brian Kelly be ohen to one again.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
They've lost five straight season openers, which doesn't which doesn't
make me feel doesn't make me feel great. I mean,
I I hope they win. I I think, you know,
this is probably the best team they've played in an
opener in a while. It's gonna be hard. I don't
think I can. Like, my fandom and my like alumni
(12:46):
status wants me to pick them, but like, it's really
hard to go into that place and win, especially in
week one. But they spend a ton of money in
the transfer portal, They've got a good team. Hell why not.
I think they're gonna win. Pick them, Pick them to win.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I love Chandler Roum, and so should Chandler Roam of
the athletic here on Sports Talk seven ninety each and
every Friday. Chandler appreciate the time. We'll catch up again
next week.
Speaker 3 (13:07):

he could start throwing in a week or two and
if it feels good, you know, maybe they get him
back for a potential playoff series. But I think they're
just they're running out of days. I think they're running
out of I mean, and if you believe Josh Hater
and as I mean Josh Hater, what he said is
kind of true for all pitchers. Like if I'm out
for three weeks, I need three weeks to build up. Well,
(11:30):
Bennett Susa, if he's gonna be out for two weeks,
he was out a week later than his injury happened
a week later than Josh Hater. If he's out for
two weeks, needs two weeks to build back up, then
needs to go on a rehab assignment face some some hitters, like,
you're running toward the end of the season at that point.
So maybe he's in the same boat as Hater that
he could kind of get going and maybe be back
for a potential playoff series. But yeah, I don't. I
(11:53):
don't think he's coming back anytime soon. I wouldn't. I would.
I don't think the Ashers are counting on it. I'll
put it to you that way.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Can we expect a full Texans Rams preview from you
a week from today?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Oh? Sure, man, I mean I'll I'll be paying more
attention to the team, I guess than the coach who's
just worried about what reporters are reporting. That's real, real
good priorities they got going on over there.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Can we expect a prediction from you now? On Clemson LSU,
will Brian Kelly be ohen to one again.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
They've lost five straight season openers, which doesn't which doesn't
make me feel doesn't make me feel great. I mean,
I I hope they win. I I think, you know,
this is probably the best team they've played in an
opener in a while. It's gonna be hard. I don't
think I can. Like, my fandom and my like alumni
(12:46):
status wants me to pick them, but like, it's really
hard to go into that place and win, especially in
week one. But they spend a ton of money in
the transfer portal, They've got a good team. Hell why not.
I think they're gonna win. Pick them, Pick them to win.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
