Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're gonna talk to that right now with Brian McTaggart
Astros dot com, MLB dot com joining us here on
the phone lines. Tags appreciate the time as the GM
meetings continued there in Vegas. You were on the Victor
Rodriguez move, but then you had Anthony Iaposi now as
the assistant to him, and then Dan Henigan going to
(00:23):
be the director of hitting and offensive coordinator. Just with
some of the background you've been able to get on
these guys. What are the Astros adding with those three?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, I mean they're at you know, they're writing a
lot of experience. I mean, Victor Rodriguez has I think
close to fifty years in the game, been a you know,
a batting coach in the big leagues for a long time,
batting coach in the minor leagues for long time. He's
worked with a lot of great hitters, you know, from
San Diego days to to Boston. I think that that's
one of the things that Joe Spotter really really liked.
(00:58):
And a lot of the Astros, you know, main hitters
are Latin American and he's worked with a lot of
great Latin American hitters.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
So maybe there's a you know, it can be a
connection there, uh as well.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You know, I Ioposi is a guy who's first base
coach in Detroit, but his his best attributes are our
teaching hitting and and so the fact that he's back
in the hitting space I think is gonna be pretty
good for him. You know, Hannigan was with the Astros
last year. You know, he's a guy you saw around.
You know, I never got a chance to talk to him.
But I think the most interesting thing is that now
(01:32):
they have this hierarchy where Rodriguez is the hitting coach,
iaposes the assistant, and then Hannigan's gonna sort of serve
as a bridge from from the young hitters to those guys.
He's a you know, expert in swing bio biomechanics. So
in the last few years they've just had two hitting
coaches and you know, Centron to work with this group
(01:54):
of guys for the most part. Schnitger would work with
this group of guys for the most part. But now
there's there's a hierarchy, and I think that's probably the
biggest takeaway from this whole thing. And I think it
was a pretty smart move. I mean to just completely
overhaul it. And now you got a couple of new
voices in there, and you got a man in charge,
and it's Victor Rodriguez.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I used to get questions all the time, Brian about
what you know, what does Cintrone do as a hitting coach?
What does Snitker do as a hitting coach? And I'm like, well,
I can only tell you what I see. I see
Cintron talking the guys at times, and then I see
Snitker over there with the iPad with guys. I'm like,
I don't know how they divvy it up, but I
think you make a great point. And Joe explained it
the other night on Astroaline. Having that defined roles, you
(02:36):
do this, you do this, you do this, and hopefully
that will help. And again it's nothing against the guys
they had. I just we see this in sports all
the time. Sometimes things run its course and it's just
time to make a change, to get a fresh voice
in there. And that's where I think, when you know,
when the organization looked at all the offensive numbers dipping
last year, you knew they were gonna dip, losing a
Tucker and a pregnant those guys. But some of your
(02:57):
best hitters were not good last year, so I think
some fresh voices in the room will help.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I mean they were the same two hitting coaches they
had in twenty nineteen when they set the major league
record for ops, So you know, I don't think they
forgot how to teach or anything. But yeah, I mean
you mentioned losing Bragman and Tucker, and then Alvarez missed
one hundred and eleven games. You know, Penya was out
a game, but look at the progress Penion made as
a hitter. You got to get some credit there too.
(03:25):
Jake Myers, even though he was hurt a lot, had
his best offensive season. So and there were some other
guys who didn't hit as well. But there's a couple
of cases of guys who put up their best offensive season,
so you got to give them credit for that. I mean,
both those guys got snatched up really quickly, sent Tron
to the Rangers, Snickkerers of the Mets, so they're pretty
highly regarded. But you're right, there just needed to be
a change, and that you know, that's what happens sometimes.
(03:48):
So I still think with a completely healthy offense, this
is still a really deep lineup that could you know,
could get you to the playoffs if everyone stays healthy.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
One through six is pretty solid.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
So there's I like, these new hitting coaches were walking
into a situation where that the cupboard is bare.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
They got a lot of tools in their toolbox to
work with.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
We'll get some of the players individually in a second,
but with Hennigan in his addition to the staff and
again not going to be in uniform, but the director
of hitting and offensive coordinator going to go over game plans,
do all of that through all of the changes have
been made from people you've talked with, you know, Brian,
is there kind of a feeling of maybe that kind
(04:31):
of fell through the cracks and that's what precipitated these
moves to be made.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, I think they're looking for a little bit more
organization here, and Hennigan's going to be the guy who's
sort of in charge of hitters, should be doing this
and this and this, and you know, getting that information
to the young hitters and then relaying that to the
the other two hitting coaches and.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You know, the word coordinator I think is exactly what
he's going to be.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
He's going to coordinate a lot of things, monitor guys
workloads and how many swings they're taking and and all
that and sort of be the brains behind it. And
then uh, you know, you got a veteran hitting coach
in Rodriguez who's been nothing but a baseball guy. You know,
he's probably not as well versed on a lot of
this analytics stuff as as Hennigan is, and probably Ioposi
(05:20):
as well.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
But it's gonna start with Hennigan, especially with.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
The younger hitters, and I think with the veteran hitters,
you're gonna see, uh, Rodriguez and iopost he work with
those guys.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
So it's sort of going to be a trickling up effect.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
If you're coming into the organization or you know, a
guy like Zach Cole, you know, Hannigan is going to
break down everything he does, and and then it's going
to be, you know, up to the other two guys
to take them, to take Cole and some of these
other guys to the next level.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, at least now, Brian, we have somebody for our
postgame callers to blame. You know, I think Hennigan, they're
not they're not bunting enough, you know, so maybe that'll
maybe that'll solve that.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, that seems the bunting thing seems to get louder
and louder. He went on. I'm like, uh, they need
to hit more home run not bumper.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yeah, however, you can manufacture some runs again him in
talking with our buddy Brian McTaggert. We did get some
updates yesterday Brian Dana talking to the media and giving
some health updates on some guys. He said eastcoc Paratus
will be about sixty five percent recovered from his hamsterring injury.
Said he expects somewhere between eighty to ninety percent to
start a spring and potentially be ready to go by
(06:22):
opening day. The only thing that scares me about that,
and we know what the hamstering injury is that right
now in November, we're already saying we expect him for
opening day, So if any setback happens here along the way,
that means he will not be ready for opening days.
So what do you make of that? I mean, I
guess we kind of expected. Look, they rushed him back
to try to make that postseason charge, so you knew
(06:43):
it wasn't going to be fully recovered. But what do
you make of his timetable escoc paratus.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, A couple of things jumped out on at me
about that, and you're right when he said potentially opening day,
I was like, wow, okay, so maybe there's a chance
he's not ready. But it also, you know, he hasn't
the season has been over for it five weeks, so
if he's sixty five percent.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Now, I mean, he was really grinding through.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
An injury to get back out there on the field,
So you got to tip your hat to him because
he really wanted to get out there and compete. But
also I know that he wants to play in the
World Baseball Classic for Mexico, which you know is coming
up next year and is in March. So if his
hamstring is not quite one hundred percent and he's given
it a go in the World Baseball Classic, that's something
that you know might make the Astros hold their breath
(07:27):
a little bit. So, yeah, something we got to keep
an eye on throughout the whole, you know, off season,
and you know, they really can't afford to lose him
for an extended period of time because he was so
good the first half of the season and you know,
working counts and I mean, he was I think he
was on his way to hit thirty five to maybe
forty homers. So yeah, he was every bit to pick
(07:48):
up they hoped, and you know, they really missed him.
So kudos to him for gutting it out. But uh,
they're going to be walking a tight rope here, especially
with him going to the World Baseball Classic tags.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Were you kind of by Dana Brown's comments yesterday about
Cam Smith?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Uh, fill me in, what do you say?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh, just about I mean that they need to see
more consistency out of him, and that they're not necessarily
opposed to a stint and triple A if they don't
see him turn that.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Corner, basically not guaranteeing him the opening day reckfield spot.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, that is a little surprising considering I mean, he
was their their start in right field, you know, all year.
I mean you could see last year a little bit
that you know, his playing time slipped a little bit
and and they're you know, they're benching him against against
right handers, especially after they got Hastue Sanchez. So but yeah,
I mean this is a business where you're gonna have
(08:44):
to prove it, and you know, you know, he really
slumped in the second half, and so if you know,
if he catched periods like that during the season, I mean,
they have enough outfield depth where you know, they can
send him to the minor leagues. It's not the end
of the world at this point. But I really expect
Cam to have a big season. I mean, I you know,
obviously he played in way more games than he did
last year, probably learned a lot of things about himself
(09:08):
and about his body, and I think he's going to
be uh, you know, prime to put it together. And
but yeah, to say that publicly, I guess was a
little bit of surprise for sure.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Some good news on some of the other guys. Jordan Alvarez,
he said, is jogging at close to seventy percent but
is expected to be ready for spring training. We're here
Josh Ader throwing off the mound a couple of times,
progressing well. They think he's on track. And then Jeremy
Paigne and jose L Tuovay said, you know, are totally fine.
So I guess from a health standpoint outside of parades
(09:39):
and obviously the guys who had the Tommy John injuries,
but it sounds like they should be in pretty good shape.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, in good shape.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And you know, I think it's going to help them
that they they didn't play this extra month of the
season that they've played for so many years in a row,
going to ALCS seven years in a row, and all
the extra games, especially when it comes to position pitchers,
the position players too. I mean, Jose al Tuove has
played more than one hundred playoff games in the last
ten years and that takes its tolls. So they're going
(10:09):
to be more rested than they've been in a long
time going in to camp in what three months now,
and they should be healthy. And you know, they're still
trying to hire a new trainer, and I'm sure there's
gonna be a lot of overhauls and how things they're
done with rest and recovery and things like that. But uh,
you know, they're in a good spot if they can
if they can add some pitching, and that's sort of
(10:31):
I think what their whole goal is this year is
this is this offseason, is to add some pitching, because
they have enough offensive depth, probably even you know, more
than they can handle at this point as far as
the positions, and they just need starting pitching and to
stay healthy. I mean, and I think they'll bounce right
back into the playoffs, and you know, whether they can
contend for a World Series, you know, who knows, but
(10:53):
they're not that far away from being you know, a
team in the American League that can contend.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I think out the door on this one.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You're Kug's number one in the country right now, playing
some good basketball. You worried about Auburn on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
No worried about Auburn. No.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I think you know, it's their first true test, So
that's gonna be that's gonna be big.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I mean, I think last night's game put my mind
to ease a little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
It was clearly their best game of the three they played.
They played really well against an Oakland team that gave
Purdue fits. You know, Kingston Flemings has been their their
best player. I mean, this guy, this guy is an
unbelievable player as a freshman, I mean, he's just phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And you know.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
We saw some other guys step up and some of
the young guys step up and give him some good
minutes too, and in Mercy Miller and even Isaiah Harwell
and other freshmen. So this still I think is a
chance to be Kelvin's deepest and best team. But they're
so young right now, but that they're getting better and better,
and we saw that last night. So yeah, a big
test against Auburn and then they go to Vegas in
a couple of weeks for some really high level games,
(11:55):
so we'll know a lot more about the Kuges in
a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Absolutely gonna be an excited season for sure, and going
to be an exciting off season to be continued for
the Astros too, And this man will be all over it.
He's MLB dot Com Astros dot COM's Brian mctagger tags.
You're the best, buddy. We'll catch up again here very soon,
all right, guys,
We're gonna talk to that right now with Brian McTaggart

forgot how to teach or anything. But yeah, I mean
you mentioned losing Bragman and Tucker, and then Alvarez missed
one hundred and eleven games. You know, Penya was out
a game, but look at the progress Penion made as
a hitter. You got to get some credit there too.
(03:25):
Jake Myers, even though he was hurt a lot, had
his best offensive season. So and there were some other

then uh, you know, you got a veteran hitting coach

he's probably not as well versed on a lot of

(05:20):

Speaker 3 (05:20):
But it's gonna start with Hennigan, especially with.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
The younger hitters, and I think with the veteran hitters,
you're gonna see, uh, Rodriguez and iopost he work with

Speaker 3 (05:30):
So it's sort of going to be a trickling up effect.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
If you're coming into the organization or you know, a

break down everything he does, and and then it's going

was on his way to hit thirty five to maybe
forty homers. So yeah, he was every bit to pick
(07:48):
up they hoped, and you know, they really missed him.
So kudos to him for gutting it out. But uh,
they're going to be walking a tight rope here, especially
with him going to the World Baseball Classic tags.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Were you kind of by Dana Brown's comments yesterday about
Cam Smith?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Uh, fill me in, what do you say?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh, just about I mean that they need to see
more consistency out of him, and that they're not necessarily
opposed to a stint and triple A if they don't
see him turn that.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Corner, basically not guaranteeing him the opening day reckfield spot.

the position players too. I mean, Jose al Tuove has
played more than one hundred playoff games in the last
ten years and that takes its tolls. So they're going
(10:09):
to be more rested than they've been in a long
time going in to camp in what three months now,
and they should be healthy. And you know, they're still
trying to hire a new trainer, and I'm sure there's
gonna be a lot of overhauls and how things they're
done with rest and recovery and things like that. But uh,
you know, they're in a good spot if they can
if they can add some pitching, and that's sort of
(10:31):
I think what their whole goal is this year is
this is this offseason, is to add some pitching, because
they have enough offensive depth, probably even you know, more
than they can handle at this point as far as
the positions, and they just need starting pitching and to
stay healthy. I mean, and I think they'll bounce right
back into the playoffs, and you know, whether they can
contend for a World Series, you know, who knows, but
(10:53):
they're not that far away from being you know, a
team in the American League that can contend.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I think out the door on this one.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You're Kug's number one in the country right now, playing
some good basketball. You worried about Auburn on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
No worried about Auburn. No.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I think you know, it's their first true test, So
that's gonna be that's gonna be big.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I mean, I think last night's game put my mind
to ease a little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
It was clearly their best game of the three they played.
They played really well against an Oakland team that gave
Purdue fits. You know, Kingston Flemings has been their their
best player. I mean, this guy, this guy is an
unbelievable player as a freshman, I mean, he's just phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And you know.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
We saw some other guys step up and some of
the young guys step up and give him some good
minutes too, and in Mercy Miller and even Isaiah Harwell
and other freshmen. So this still I think is a
chance to be Kelvin's deepest and best team. But they're
so young right now, but that they're getting better and better,
and we saw that last night. So yeah, a big
test against Auburn and then they go to Vegas in
a couple of weeks for some really high level games,
(11:55):
so we'll know a lot more about the Kuges in
a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Absolutely gonna be an excited season for sure, and going
to be an exciting off season to be continued for
the Astros too, And this man will be all over it.
He's MLB dot Com Astros dot COM's Brian mctagger tags.
You're the best, buddy. We'll catch up again here very soon,
all right, guys,
