Speaker 1 (00:04):
In case you haven't noticed, and maybe you have or haven't.
Sffer Houston Astros are eight and two. By the way,
Scotty's playing at the Scotty's playing at the Renaissance this week.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The Renaissance. We're here in America, sir, we pronounce it Renaissance.
Well they can, you know what, they can pronounce it
the Renaissance if I'm over there, But I'm here in
America and we just celebrated America, We're going to say
the Renaissance.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I'm going to say Renaissance.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's not called the Renaissance era. It's called the Renaissance era.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
You know, they have a a restrictive membership at the Renaissance.
At the Renaissance, what is the restricted You can play
it for a one time in your life. It's a
one time deal, and I think the green things like
six hundred dollars or six hundred pounds something ridiculous. And
then if you want to join, if you want to
play again, you have to become a member. And it's
(00:57):
several one hundred thousand dollars to join and a lot
to be a member. And I've seen pictures of it.
I'm not impressed. Wow, I would not. I wouldn't. I
don't really want to be a member of the Renaissance
or the Renaissance for that matter.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
But I I.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Know Scotland, but I liked the golf course, but I
like the golf course right next to it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
That would be Mierfield.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, So that by the way, and I would I
would join Mierfield those if I had the means to
do so, and the and the travel. No, well, well,
if I had the means to do so, i'd have
the travel. I'd have to have the h invitation from
a current member.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Oh this is another one.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
This one you have to be asked to join, and
then you can join. But it's not as nearly as expensive.
It's a relatively inexpensive club to be a member of.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So since we're talking golf, because we didn't talk about
it last hour, how did Andy Everett do this weekend?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Barring the lile weather.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Situation with seventy nine at Riverside on Friday in the
swamp in the slotshy condition, and then we didn't play Saturday.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It was too much rain. Too much rain, all right.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
So anyway, the Scotti ch opin gets underway this week
and then the Open next week.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
We're more golf talk later in the week.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Scotty is playing this weekend. He is, So Scotty's gonna
win the Scottish Open. He could basically named after him.
That's what they're doing. They didn't win it last year. Well,
Scotty wasn't quite Scotty last year.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah he was. He was the player of the Year
last year.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know, you got to give everybody a fair shot
every now and then.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
All Right, the Astros of now what eight of their
last ten games, they are a seven game lead in
the last column over Seattle, and they have the second
best record in the American League and they have the
third best record overall in baseball. So what you're saying
is they're very very good. They are good, and they
(02:55):
are getting better, and they the reports of their demise
and your concerned back in April that they weren't going
to make the playoffs are grossly mis misjudge, Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Very much.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So. Uh, you know, there was I forgot what there
were a couple of pitchers that went down early on.
I wish we were gonna have doc on this weekend
or this week, but we're not gonna have him on
this week.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, I hope he's you know, I hope he's having
some chocolate and cheese.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Just you know, just bring me back some some some chocolate, Doc,
I would appreciate it. Uh. Jordan Alvarez, you know, I
think it was last week reported that he was going
to be put on the sixty day I l for
inflammation and I think that recovery of I want to
say it was the broken wrist, and I had watched
something It's like, how can you not do extra X
(03:46):
rays on him because there was a setback on the
inflammation or or or.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You know, oops, sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So the the with Kyle Tucker leaving, and yeah they
lost Ryan Presley, but they also because they brought in
last year Josh Hater as the closer. Unfortunately, it did
make sense to say goodbye to Ryan Presley. And like
you told me last week that you know one Kyle
(04:15):
Tucker is going to be in the All Star and
I'm just like man.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
But but the Astros are doing just fine without him.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Cam Smith's playing playing well. Brian Obrayu, one of their
starting pitchers, along with Hunter Brown, are just absolutely dominating,
along with fran Er Valdez who has just one of
the nastiest curveballs there is that people think that he's
doctoring the baseball. And you know, the future first ballot
Hall of Famer mister Jose Altuve himself having himself a year.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It just he's just trucking along and he's not pulling
a Rafael Devers and saying I only want to play
this position. You know, little little al Tuove is playing
left field then you know, told you last week that
he passed and is now solely the second all time
hits for the Houston Astros. And they just absolutely obliterated
(05:09):
the sho Heyo taanis over the weekend. I saw they won.
I think it was either Friday or Saturday. Eighteen to one,
Andy eighteen to one.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
How about that for the Dodgers, who are are supposed
to win every World Series from now until Tani retires.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Basically, all right, have you ever.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Been to a baseball game or seen the I don't
know if people if this is still a thing or not,
but they used to have a deal called mound ball,
and this basically when the inning was over, okay, you know,
and they don't do this anymore because the pitcher gets
a fresh ball to start the inning. Anyway, the inning
is over, like the fielder would throw the ball towards
the mound so that the other pitcher would come out
(05:47):
and have a ball to warm up, or they would
are the catchers called strike three.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
He would roll it back out to the.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Pitcher's mound, and people in the stands would kind of
bat each other. And I use battan air coutes because
there wasn't any gambling on this is the ball going
to land on the mound.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Or is it going to roll off into the grass? Okay?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
And that was called mound ball, at least that's what
I was told it was called. Well, now it's kind
of vogue thing that the first baseman, you know, turns
to the dug out and throw because they're gonna take
the ballut of play anyway. Soon the ball hits the ground,
in baseball, you get a new one. We can't have
any scuff scuff balls, God forbid.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And if the if the.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Right fielder catches the ball to end the inning, he
throws it to the center fielder, who throws it to
the shortstop, who lobs it to the umpires so they
can get the ball out of play, and they thought it.
They put another ball out on the mound, and they
don't roll it out there or bounce it out there
like they used to. They hand it to the pitcher
and if as he's doing his warm ups, if the
ball skips in the dirt, they give him a new ball.
They go through three hundred balls at the game. It
(06:42):
seems like so the other day, the inning is over
and with the Yankees and the Mets, and the Yankees
were mired in a slump until they finally won last night.
I think they had won two of ten and Anthony
Volpi decides to throw the ball to Aaron Judge as
they're jogging in from the outfield, except Aaron Judge does did.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Not know that he's throwing to him. Oh, and he's
squaring the head.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Oh well, so you're having a bad day and then
you make it worse by doing that. And Aaron laughed
it off and said, well, kind of the way we've
been playing, things like that may happen. And I just
didn't see it coming. Well, what are you throwing up
to an outfielder anyway, and especially to him who may
not see it coming. I mean, the one thing that's
been positive about your team. The whole year is him.
(07:30):
Even when you've slumped. He hasn't slumped very much. He's
had a few times be where he had eight strikeouts
and tened bats, but for the most part, he's had
a good year and he's still betting. I think this
average is now around three seventy five or something like that.
I'd have to look to see exactly where it is.
It got down to three fifty seven before the weekend started.
But that's just kind of not a good sign when
(07:53):
your team isn't paying attention to where you're throwing the baseball,
just taking the dug out and hand it to somebody. Gentlemen,
I've just been handed an urgent news store.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Stop what you're doing, all right, Shane? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
So the Orlando Magic and Paulo Bancaro have agreed to
a five year extension worth two hundred and eighty seven
million dollars sixty million year.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Almost. Yeah, well he can.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
The reason it's five is because that's his team, So
he gets the extra year we were talking about in
in the break.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Why can't Dierra Scott four because he was traded? Yeah
he can.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
He's only eligible for four as much as we would
like to say, hey, we'll give you an extra year,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Think we actually don't think you can. Yeah, so all right, so, by.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
The way, Ben Caro and Bain and what's the other runs,
oh Franz.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Ones my guy.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
By the way, I'm no longer going to wish for
players anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I am going to pull.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Reverse psychology because over the weekend, Mo Wagner's resigned a
one year deal with the Magic so Will Hardy and
the Utah Jazz Jackson Hayes. I do not want you
to come to the San Antonio Spurs. You need to
stay as far away as possible. I don't want to
give you a bajillion second round draft picks for Walker
(09:10):
Kestler because he's the worst player in the league. I
don't want him on my team next to one Victor
wimbin Yama. I don't want him here for the next
ten years at all. Every right now, don't listen to me.
I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Guy worried about that he's not listening to you. He
may be listening. He may be listening, but he's not
paying attention.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
To our seed listens. We know our seed listen.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So RC don't go and tell Brian right to go
get Walker Kestler.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I don't want him on my.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Team until he's here. Yeah, all right, So that's your
reverse psychology for.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
The for the day. All right.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It's the end of an era, officially for one of
utsa's best football players ever had his career cut short.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
We'll talk about that next. It's the Andy Everage show.
