To curball and that's whack down the right field line,
slicing well it stayed fair and show sure well by
a foot and go into the corner walker getting the
way from Tony Parishchiko around third. Here's the relay to
the plate. On the hop the slide walker beats the
tag RB I double for camp Smith and the Astros
lead one and nothing.

Speaker 6 (00:37):
If you feel, because if you feel happiness is because he.

Field back corner. Infielders are in first pitch. I'll two
spacks it up the middle and in a center front.
Bashi Dubon scores on the third, goes with him and
the Astros get some insurance up four to two.

No offence day.

You don't waste your time. Yeah, because if you feel, because.

Speaker 7 (01:32):
If you feel to the Garcia's playing in a foul
tip held on to my ds and that is the ballgame,
Josh Hater strikes out the side of the ninth and
the Astros in their five game losing streak, beating the
National seven of four, even up this three game series
at a game apiece.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Bring Me Down the Loves.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Jonathan Week occasionally on the show talk about songs that
white guys can dance to.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
This would be one of them.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
This is I thought, this is a classic for you guys.
Oh we as the whites love this song? Yeah, we
have the whites. Is the craziest thing.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Look at this?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Look at me?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Awesome?

Speaker 2 (02:16):
I mean, good gracious, there's two different things Johnathan. He
says can dance, but also doesn't mean dance.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Well, what's there? He looks like he's having a stroke
in here.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I'm just telling you this show really should be on
Space any more than the other one is on Oh yeah,
they're boring. Uh, you would be to look at I mean,
the show content is great. You'd be able to see
me dance. Did I save it there? No, they're gonna
catch you hard. They will destroy it today. I love
them both, Oh my god. I love those guys in

(02:50):
different ways.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
But they're there. They're They're a part of my core.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I've been with me, wex has since well actually Adam,
both of them put that, but they're back thankfully.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Well that went a wrong direction quickly. Ten oh four
Sports Talk seven ninety Good morning everyone. It is amount
Thomas shall Ross.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
We have a we used to have snacksize editions of
the show. This is actually just a this is a
light lunch. This is a uh, this is a calorie
count lunch. Like you're not gonna go all out. You're
gonna eat, you're gonna get full, but you're just gonna
make sure you kind of keep under a certain threshold. Well,
you know, there's like lunch specials, and the lunch specials
they want to they want to get you in and
out in the thirty minute times.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
So we have two hours in thirty five minutes, two
hours and forty minutes.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
To entertain you today. So okay, so it's a lunch
special edition.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's actually we are it's almost like we used to do,
and now we have an extra hour to hang out
with y'all. But we're gonna welcome, yeah, thank you, uh
ten to the people ten to twelve forty today and
then we'll send it over to Astros radio for the
finale of the series, the Rubber Game.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
I think I guaranteed the win last time. I think
that's what I said. You did, remember I said they're
going free series win.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
No, no, no, no, I'm just in general in you didn't
do that in the game in my show. No, all right,
A very interesting.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Twenty four hours for the Astros, not necessarily by their
own doing, but at least by what the Twitter streets
are saying.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
And I'm just confused. Isn't the term. I'm very curious.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
This is one of one of those situations I really
wish I was on the other side of the wall.
Are you flm mixed? No, FLOMX would be flat out
what are you doing? I'm not flummixed by this, but
the rumors that you hear are My curiosity is peaked.
And usually I like to try to stay one step ahead,

(04:46):
or at least on the same step as the teams
that I'm talking about. Uh, I'm not in this particular case.
And for those of you that don't know, And we'll
get to the game at something Ross and I'll be
hosting the on Deck show and we're gonna hear from
Dana Brown a little bit during this show. We got
both Brange Bogus e at eleven o'clock and then we're
gonna run a good chunk of the Dana Brown conversation

(05:06):
with Sean during Astros on deck at about twelve fifteen
or so. So please stay with us the whole time. Okay,
to shut your boy mass up at eleven thirty two.
So that there's two names that are being talked about
on the Twitter streets. That's Bob Nightingales. It's been confirmed
by other people. In fact, mctagger just put a tweet
out of a few minutes ago Dylan Cees San Diego pitcher.

(05:27):
We know him from his What White Sox days back
in the day starting pitcher, which remember I talked to
you about a few months ago. I thought that that
would be something that they should go after, and the
bats just got so super quiet that I thought, maybe
they need to deflect from that. But that name doesn't
go away. And then you got a couple more pitching

(05:49):
injuries with mccullars and Walter Right, who had been pitching well,
and no disrespect to today started your best friend Ryan Gusto.
But Ryan probably isn't a rotation guy for this yet Oh,
you're just a hater, Matt.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
I didn't say.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Why would you say that about Ryan Gusto?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Now watch him?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Watch him throw seven innings of two run baseball with
nine strikeouts. I would love to watch that. I don't
think it's going to happen. I would also love to
see Happy Gilmore to win an oscar. I don't think
it's going to happen. By the way, ten fifty today,
Ross and I will do our review of Happy Gilmore
too without giving away any of the plot.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
What plot? Oh? Sorry, you and I are going to
agree on this. Yeah, it's a real brain bender.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Hey, when you're going shy, invite Laurence she how did
it come to the show with me? Absolutely, we would
get We would crush ratings wise, I don't know if
I'd be able to focus and do the show. But
that's a different issue for a different time. Okay, back
to what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Okay, PLU.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Dylan Cees is the name that has been brought up
multiple times lost Cars, Yes, Chandler, Rome and Ken Rosenthal
first on Yeah and then Nightingale and I remember again
Nightingale runs very hot and cold, but he has had
a good run as of late yes, and he was
confirmed by Brian McTaggart.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
So I'm feeling good. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
If McTaggart's confirming something, I don't need some GABRONI that has,
you know, Astro for Life website.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
I don't need you confirming that I need legitimate people.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
And so so if if Brian McTaggart's confirming it, there's
gonna be a little bit to it.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Carl's Correa. Now we had we looked real we read it.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
We read a really silly tweet yesterday that was giving
the twins, I mean nothing of real substance for Corea
and Castro Korean Castro, which was that was what we
were laughing about. It wasn't necessarily that there were names
being brought up. It was what you're giving back to return,
I mean you were giving back. You're you're asking for

(07:50):
a full time utility player who's probably a starter at
some teams, obviously a starter uh in Korea, for guys
that aren't even on the major league team, that are
not considered top in prospects, and then Zach Short who's
a fringe major laker. I mean, just the deal didn't
make any sense. But the Carlos Korea stuff is out there.

(08:12):
Nightingale put it out there originally and again Attacker confirmed it.
We talked about it yesterday. We went through his contract
for three more years guaranteed, correct, and then there's investing
this year and then two more I think, and then
investing cots. Okay, so that count if you want to
call that three or well, we got we got some investing,

(08:32):
investing meaning that if you reach certain threshold, yeah, he
kicks in, he's got to finish.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
There's some top five top MVP.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
There some plate appearances involved in the top five MVP
or five hundred and seventy five plate appearances, which is doable. Yeah,
well not maybe not for Carlos. All right, So I'm
going to do a lot of prefacing. Yes, okay. First
of all, when you make a trade like that, bringing

(09:00):
somebody in that has been so good for this franchise
and it's still considered a very good major League player,
you would naturally get excited. You would also appreciate the
fact that the Astros want to get better. That's the
number one thing at its core is where are you now?
And does the player that you hear that potentially becoming

(09:21):
to Houston. Does he make you better? And in theory,
I would think that Cardinals Krea would make you better,
But the question is at what cost?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Now?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
The Minnesota Twins are in financial hell right now because
they're trying to be They're trying to get sold. Correa
is a huge contract. He's I think he's probably the
number one contract on that team. I don't know that
the top to bottom of that. I don't even think
Byron Bucks is making that kind of money for them,
and he's always hurt too. But they need to get
it to be a leaner team so they can make
it a little more sales friendly. There's no way the

(09:56):
gym is going to pick up the tab on Cardinals
Care's remaining portion the contract. So my guess is that
Minnesota would be sending cash to the Astros as part
of this to get Carlos's deal done. But when you
ask for cash at the other team has to typically
give you high end prospects. You're buying prospects or you're

(10:19):
buying players. That's how it typically works. We've talked about
this before. The Astros aren't flush with prospects. The Astros
aren't flush with a deep system. They do have some talent,
because they have had some drafts the last couple of years,
but they're nowhere close. So the very first thing I
thought of is, if you are going to go trade

(10:42):
Carlos Kourant and you're gonna get Carlinos Krant and you're
going to get the Twins to pay off some of
his remaining two plus years in his contract, you've got
to give them something of significant value. Is that Jacob Meltin?
Is that Bryce Matthews? Is it both of them? I
don't don't think you want to give Walter?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Is it? Is it Walter Onick?

Speaker 7 (11:03):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
No?

Speaker 8 (11:03):
What?

Speaker 3 (11:03):
What's you Onick's first name?

Speaker 9 (11:04):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Walter?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Okay, he's your first round pick. Now we've seen first
round picks get traded. Hello, Cam Smith, good to see you.
Mm hmm Walker, Sorry Walker. I was gonna say Walter
Walter didn't sound very good. I was like, I don't
think that's right enough, Walteronick. So there's that angle to
it all. So that's why Rossie, I gotta be honest
with you. I'm perplexed by this because Carlos's numbers aren't

(11:27):
great this year. His ops is barely above seven hundred
he's missed time, he's at single digit home runs. Target
field's a relatively easy place to play. But and all,
by the way, what are you gonna do at third
base if Essak Parrettis comes back. I'm not saying he's
come back this year. I I don't believe it for
a second. But how do you handle twenty twenty six

(11:49):
if Parentis is limited as a third baseman? I can't
imagine he's gonna be any better as a second basement.
And we've already seen the Astros already carry a guy
on their team that can't field second base anymore in
Hotly TV. That's again these puzzle pieces to me, And
I'll let you speak here because I'm kind of just rambling.
These puzzle pieces to me just don't fit. Would you

(12:10):
put pain ye?

Speaker 3 (12:11):
At second?

Speaker 2 (12:16):
There's got to be there's gotta be something that I
paradus or you're getting rid of paradis. But how can
you get rid of a paradus when he's had a
major hamstring injury. I can't imagine if his hamstring is
off the bone, which we don't know, which we do
not know, but a serious enough pull that means he

(12:37):
doesn't play this year. Could you imagine a fan base
welcoming a new player on the team who is not
going to play for you anymore this year, who has
been traded multiple times in his career. Yeah, if you're
a seller, you don't need him this year anyways. I
might even be attractive in a way, as long as
you know that the injury isn't extremely serious like an

(12:58):
off the bone situation, I guess, or if you think, hey,
he's just gonna have surgery and he's gonna be fine,
because he's been very good. He's been one of the
three best Ashros this year as far as well position players,
he's probably best two.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
So do you sell on hope for twenty twenty six?

Speaker 9 (13:12):
Now?

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Remember I many moons ago and I teach you about
this before the show game. I said to that eastich Preides,
I wouldn't be surprised if he was a one and done,
but that I not anticipated being a three quarters of
a season and done and being as good as he
has been. He's got a lot of value for the
Astros right now. But you have to get and we
talked about them having to get creative with guys on

(13:33):
the twenty six man to try to get something back
because the prospects aren't there. And that's why I said,
if the Astros make a move, whether it's for Seas,
whether it's for Caorea, whether it's for anybody that we
don't even know about at this point, I believe an
active member of the team is going to be as
part of it. You know what, It makes sense kind
of if we're talking about the Twins shedding payroll. You
get back Paradis, who's a good player. You could sell

(13:54):
that to a new owner, like, hey, we got this guy,
he Paradus. He's playing well, he's got a hamstring injury,
but he's very, very cheap, and he's he's going to
be ninety percent of Carlos Korea does Melton who is
top hundred and he's been better than Carlos Corea this year,
by the way, and Bryce Matthews top hundred.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
You have to throw them at it mix as well.
I guess it makes we're kind of making it make
sense here. We're talking it out. Uh, I'm not talking
to out. I'm just I'm trying to think of it
from the Astra perspective.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
We'll do more of that.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
So when I tell you Houston, Texas, that Carlos Korey
is on the radar.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
What say you?

Speaker 2 (14:33):
What's the first thing comes to your mind? Seven one
three two one two five seven. Nintiye seven one three
two one two five seven Nintie. Brian Bogusvik joins us
at eleven o'clock today. Before that, at ten fifty, Ross
and I will review quickly Happy Gilmore two and at
eleven thirty at Chechubum mass up with Astros on deck

(14:55):
at new We'll also mix in a couple of Dana
Brown cuts if we get them.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
And it's back here to do that or not, but certainly.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Try all right ten sixteen on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Time is ten twenty one. It is a Matt tom
The Show with Rats.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
And by the way, the one thing we did not
mention during all this, and this is probably a little.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
I don't want to say this is Jerry Jones.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
That's not fair because everything the Astros have done in
terms of these kind of decisions have tended to payoff.
This feels very Jim Crane led on this. I think
Jim Crane wanted Justin Verliner back and Dana Bryan was
given those orders. To say, can you make it work?
And he did yes, And I think Jim Crane is like,

(15:47):
you know, we need a third baseman, we need some flexibility.
He's a guy, that's he's an awesome clubhouse guy. He's
a guy that obviously. I mean, if you don't think
Carlos Korey ain't calling the astro his buddy's down in Houston,
what you would be like mccullors, Altuba.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
For sure saying hey, man can get me out of here.
Ragman's night here. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
You know, My point is that is that bros can
talk bro to nothing against that, because first of all,
there's no evidence of it. Second of all, there's nobody
you can't. That's not tampering when friends talk to friends,
but no disrespect. But Mauricio Dubond can't be playing third
base six days a week. Shay Wickham's not a third baseman.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
So if al Tuba calls and says, hey, I had
to talk with Carlos and Jim said.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Well, what do you say he let to come back?
What that's happening in life?

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, I just it's still on its face, doesn't make
sense unless you're trading away esac paratus, and also you
shed Ryan Presley and Rafael Montero because you're trying to
stay under the tax, which they are basically nuzzle up against.
So I mean, I guess I could see a scenario

(17:04):
that Jim Crane says, Yeah, we wanted to be under
the tax, and then if we knew we needed to
make something to get to a push for a World Series,
then I'm okay with it. At its core, you want
an owner who wants to get better. And I will
never ever begrudge an owner of a sports team that

(17:27):
I follow care talk about wanted to get better. H
I am very much appreciative of that.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
It's just.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I don't know, there's something about it that just doesn't
strike me right without thinking about what you'd have to
give up. And remember, if you're giving if you're asking
the Twins for money, which I'm assuming they're going to
to help pay for this, they're gonna want something back
in return. The Minnesota Twins want to get lean, they
also want to get better because they want you know,

(18:00):
the Twins are not huge in the free agent world.
They need their homegrown players, they need their they need
prospects to grow and flourish and be on the cheap.
Minnesota's not one of those franchise that is typically known
for spending a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
So uh, it could be.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Again a lot of smoke, but night Gal's been better
than last year or so. McTaggart's like, yeah, I'll make
a couple of calls, and he says, yeah, there's some
smoke to it as well.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
And I'll tell you this, Rossie.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
If it happens, people will be excited because people are
excited about change, especially when you are on the cusp
and you're holding off Seattle in Texas and the Division,
by the way, both lost yesterday.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
That was good news.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
You win, and then all of a sudden you're thinking,
all right, we've got that extra boost because every time
the Astros have done a boost, it's worked. In seventeen
with Verlander, it worked in last year with Kkuchie, it
worked the year before that Verlander, it worked, Grinky Granky worked.
I mean, giving Carlos Gomez and Mike fires didn't. In fact,

(19:01):
it costs a lot of issues that it's a different
issue for a different time. But these these little boost
hashtag trade deadline have certainly more times than not, helped
out your baseball team.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Look, if we're especially gonna help when you get a
guy to replace somebody who's not gonna be there. But
Carl's Korea you mentioned, is not having a very good season.
If you look at I know you love wins above
replacement Matt, he's at a point one. Basically, he's been
a replacement level player according to Baseball references, and that
dollar and that dollar amount doesn't justify his performance. If

(19:36):
you looked at the dollar amount, he's not giving them
a Minnesota Twins value. And so the Twins are like,
I got if I can shed this, so I can
get this team sold, and I've got a guy maybe
on the down third of visit major league career, I'm
gonna do it now, even if I have to pay
a certain amount of that money that helps him out
as compared to being on the hook for all the

(19:56):
contract for the rest of his I mean, I don't
know what that would be. But you're looking at what
at least two years after this, Yes, and maybe you're
thinking back in a familiar environment, back with his buddy.
You're right, it's three years.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
What is that hell?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah, Jesus. You know what, I'm just gonna go ahead
and say it. I don't think this is happening. It
doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense based off of
the history that we have seen with other players and
their free agent status.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Even if you're getting a lot of cash from Minnesota,
it's going to count up into the tax threshold. Now
what payroll are the Astros shedding in the next couple
of years, Well, um, Keratini's a free agent Fromber's, a
fray agent Fromber's probably what making seventeen eighteen million in
arbitration or something like that, Okay, And then what's Dylan

(20:52):
sees the situation? He's a rental Okay, so he's so
that's a two month and done kind of situation.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
That that that's an easy one to justify. I could
see that happening. But even if you were to shed
yourself with Lance M. Colors, that's still money in your payroll,
that's still against your your your tax because you're paying
out that money. If you were to say, if you
were to release Lance my Colors, very intriguing times, and
like I said at the end of the day. It's
nice to hear your team wanting to be active. Now

(21:21):
remember just because you hear it, and when you do
it or two different things, you can work on. Something
that is mean is going to happen. That's right, all right,
we'll go to the phones next seven one three two
one two five seven ninety If you want to chime
in when I tell you Cardl's Kray is rumored?

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Is it's intriguing to the astros? What say you?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven all right, Ross
and I will review Happy Gilmour in about fifteen minutes.
By the way, crushing on Netflix streams. I'll say a
lot of things in twenty twenty five suck. The ability

(22:03):
to avoid the movie theater to go watch first run
movies is pretty good. I gotta be honest with you.
I was in my office last night. We were in
our chairs watching it in our own popcorn, drank our
own beverages. I disagree depending on the type of movie.
If it's like a big action movie, you want the
big screen. You want the loud sound like the bone

(22:29):
rattling crashes and the f one thing people talked about
how great that wasn't in theaters because you could feel
the car zooming around and all that type stuff. You're
not gonna get that at your house, even if you
got a really nice soundbar.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Uh yeah, But.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
I'm just I wasn't looking for that yesterday again by
Happy Gilboard was fine, stand at home. If it's Happy
Gilmore too, let's get on the couch. Yeah, if it's
F one or Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey coming out next year,
or anything Christopher Nolan does. Because I saw the tell
you how I this really hit home for me. I
saw Interstellar on my couch like a year or two ago,

(23:06):
and I was like, man, this movie's great, this is awesome.
Then it re released an IMAX for the ten year anniversary,
and it was a completely different experience. I'm not blown away.
I'm not saying that movies don't have any relevance anymore.
Theaters are an irrelevance. I don't want to say at all,
because you are absolutely right, sometimes the big screen is
going to play it. But I'm just talking about a
good old fashioned, run of the mill move, like yeah,

(23:28):
Making Gun is coming out soon, you don't need to
be there, And I can be at home to watch that.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
I'm very happy to do that. By the way, you said,
know that Liam Neeson.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
And Anderson and Anderson Anderson are dating in real life,
Good for them?

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Why not? That's good of wear and tear are the
joints working.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I don't know. You know, she doesn't war a makeup anymore.
Good for her even in the film. I saw a
little bit in the film the trailer. Okay, but it's
because I thought back in the day, which is what
thirty years ago, she was the more and the most stunning,
Like she was just the sexiest woman alive. Now, granted

(24:12):
some of those parts weren't all real, but she was
still saecking. She exuded sex mm hmm. She she played
into that very well. And you know she she got
around a little bit, actually not a little bit, got
around a lot. And I think she just had one
of those moments in life. She says, I'm going to

(24:32):
go just the opposite and I'm going to go, uh,
you know, like I live with the Quakers in in
the in Pennsylvania. Really she becomes celibate. I don't think
Liam Neeson knows that. Okay, maybe he does, and we
don't I'm gonna guess that it's not happened, but I
will say this, she needs to put a little bit

(24:53):
of makeup on, just a little bit. Why because she
doesn't look there's no sextioness to her right now.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
What I know.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
That's my opinion. I'm saying, Okay, she doesn't care what
you think, Matt.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
No, she doesn't. We've never met. I'd like to meet her.
I think it's great. I think it's great for her
not wearing makeup, confident in herself, have a good time.
She can wear whatever she wants or in Liam's case,
where what she doesn't want to Well, it's up to
your Lenison could talk about it.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
She just doesn't look anything like the sex appeal that
I saw back and there thirty years ago. Man, there
are women that have aged well over there. You know,
Sophia for Garb, Jennifer Lopez. My god, you see Jennifer
Lopez on stage these days wearing a thong she is
see No, I haven't haven't been any the video with

(25:45):
I didn't see that. Well, clearly I didn't catch that one.
I'm not going to search for it. Brian on seven
hell O, Ryan it's gonna get my history.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
He's going on.

Speaker 7 (25:56):
Guys.

Speaker 10 (25:56):
Hey, when it comes to the coreage deal, I'm intrigued
and I don't think it's the worst move in the
world if you pull it off, because I think part
of it is is it gives you a lot of
options depending on where you see things going. Obviously it
would depend on what the compensation is, but you could decide, Okay,
last year you were toying with the thought of bringing

(26:17):
back Bregman and moving Paradis to first. Maybe somehow you're
able to eat a little bit of Christian Walker's money,
move him in the off season, move Paradis to first,
if you decide to go that route, or you you know,
you put Paradus in that deal and hopefully you know
he comes back and is is you know, and is healthy,

(26:38):
and you know, if you're in Minnesota and he winds
up being the player he pretty much is this year.
I think he does kind of give your guys that
spark and you don't have that kind of kick guys
in the butt that you had with Bregman or somebody
who might be willing to be a little bit more
vocal on this team.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
That's not really out two days.

Speaker 10 (26:55):
Demeanor, and I don't feel like Paradis or Walker are
established with this team yet.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
So it kind of brings back one of.

Speaker 10 (27:02):
Those guys where it's like, Okay, he's been here, he
gets this team, he understands it, and he can kind
of be that leader in the clubhouse that maybe.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
You're you're missing and I don't.

Speaker 10 (27:11):
We obviously don't know the dynamics and you mind telling me.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
To shut my bub ass up on this.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
One, And that's totally okay.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
But after this.

Speaker 10 (27:18):
Season, Jeremy Payin you may not his gut, you may
not be any higher than it is now. So you
deal with You get a replacement for him, even if
in the short term you keep Paradus and Walker. You
train Jeremy payinna get something.

Speaker 9 (27:33):
Back for him.

Speaker 10 (27:33):
You could probably get, especially having two years of team
control left, some better prospects, things like that, you're gonna
have money with not Probert.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Was making eighteen million this year. See you figure he
would probably.

Speaker 10 (27:46):
Command at least twenty to twenty five on the open market,
So you're saving that. You don't have a bray you
Presley or Montero, So that's another forty five million.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
So you're able to bring that number.

Speaker 10 (27:58):
Down a little bit. So I don't think it's the
worst thing in the world. I'm not saying go out
do it, but I could certainly see where bringing in
somebody like Korea gives you a lot more options depending
on do you think you can resign paying your long
term term or are you gonna say we're putting all
our money in the Hunter Brown basket. That's where we're

(28:19):
gonna make our big free agents splash and lock him
up for the long term. Plus then hey, if Jordan
is able to come back, and you might want to
resign him to a little bit higher aav movement forward.
So I don't think it's the worst thing in the world.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Dylan ceases.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
To me, he's a guy for this year.

Speaker 10 (28:36):
I don't think you're gonna have to give up as
much as you might think with him being a rental.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
But you know, and why by the way, yeah, thanks
for the phone call. Bright.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Another thing, why are the pod reason and want to
move Dylan Cease? They have a long card spot right now.
They're four back of the Dodgers in the National League West.
That to me smells like active player.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, that would make sense. Left handed reliever. Did did
the Potters left handed reliever?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Because we've got plenty here, you sent all three of them.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
That's why, man.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I just wish I could just like phone tap into
Dana's phone. What's what is going on? I don't just
I mean, if unless unless they the pottery thin cease
is washed, why are you getting rid of a starting
pitcher for a team that's in the wild Card and

(29:37):
with a shouting distance of the I mean, the Dodgers
are really good, but they're human. We've saw that just
two weeks ago. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, like you said,
they've won four in a row, they're only four games back.
I guess we can comb the roster here. You never
thought you'd ever have to call the latter. I really

(29:59):
didn't think I was gonna have to, But here we are.
How many lefties do they have? I don't know it,
just as RP. I gotta go look them all up individually. Now, Oh,
that's a lot of work doing about that. Or I
can go to the Baseball Reference and they should have
an asterisk next to the lefties. Jake on seven and
ten forty one, Hello Jake, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 11 (30:17):
Guys, I listen every day on the podcast, but I
had time today, so I figured i'd call it thank you. Okay,
I'm doing my best to follow your orders and avoid
rockets and Astros Twitter, and you keep seeing this Korea
business and I feel like, I don't know, I'm I'm
early for anybody got time, But man, maybe you need

(30:37):
to do like the tap into the microphone thing and
say like the PSA or like scream at the rest
of Houston saying like it's not gonna happen, or am
I wrong? Because Astros Twitter is slowly turning this into
a reality.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Uh No, don't ever listen to Astros Twitter because they
every time they see a player that's being talked about,
it's gonna happen and you gotta get you gotta go
buy a jersey tomorrow. But again, there's a little bit
of legs of this. But as John Hammon and you
know Jake, we don't like John Haymon on the show.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
He's a douche.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
But he did say that the Minnesota Twins like Carl's Korea,
and Carl's Korea likes Minnesota. And there is a no
trade clause attached to Carlos Carrea's contract. Now, I would
be very very disappointed and upset to believe that Carlos Krea.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Would not want to come back to Houston. Right, And
to another part of this, I mean we we go
back and we look.

Speaker 11 (31:30):
I mean they should it on the game last night
on Space City, like how many deals the Astros have
made year in and year out at the deadline? Don't
you think an opposing team's GM is coming in a
little bit leery when Dana Brown you knows phone numbers
on their color Id Like, aren't you a little hesitant
of Okay, they're going to take, you know, a Dylanci's
or a career.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
What are the Astros going to do to turn him?

Speaker 11 (31:51):
We need to offer, we need the price needs to
be higher because I mean, I feel like a lot
of these deals we end up winning time and you know,
time and time out again. So don't you think that
gams are leery of that or they don't care.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
They're just trying to make a deal to make their team.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
If you do that, you will never make trades because
everybody's gonna if you're a general manager, you hadn't have
done something right, you know what I mean? There's not
everybody's gonna win every trade. Number's gonna lose any trade.
But there's nobody that's got a perfect record. If you
don't take phone calls from every team, you're not doing
your team of service right.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
So that's especially do you want career on the team
or no? Well, okay, let's can we dumb it down.

Speaker 12 (32:30):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Does Carlos Korea make this team better today or tomorrow
than he does today? The answert yes, yes, but I'm
still trying this.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
But don't you feel like we're gluttoning our our team.

Speaker 11 (32:42):
It's like what happens next year at spring training and
you have Karadas Korea?

Speaker 2 (32:47):
And well, I mean there is a significant player on
this team. If Korea does come here, there is a significant,
well known player on this team that will not be
a part of the two thousand, two twenty six roster.
I can guarantee you that right now, they're not going
to carry as many infielders as as you're just describing there.

(33:09):
If you've got Carlos Krea, I don't think Carls Craig
can play second base. I don't think Esch Preats can
play second base. The question that Ross brought up would
be interesting, and thank you for the phone call. Jake
is does Jeremy Paynia have second base in his blood?

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yeah? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
I don't see why now Paradus maybe you don't think
he's rangy enough for sure, but Paynya and Korea in
whatever place you want to put them. Carlos Korea is
going to play third would play third base with this team.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
You can't. He's getting older.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
You're taxing him by playing scorely infield positions, you know,
jumping around you know. Okay, maybe a bad choice of words,
but you know where I'm going with this third base preserved? Uh?

Speaker 4 (33:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yan Easy is telling us that the Padres would want
to be shedding payroll, But Dylan seasonally makes thirteen point
seven to five million, and.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
They've already paid, already paid more to more than half
of that.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
You're done.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
Yeah, you're shedding like six to seven million. I don't know.

Speaker 8 (34:08):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
And they do have they have two left handed relievers
that are pretty good. Of course matters, you know, either
on more Juan Yes having a great season for the
Padres and Wandy Peralta's having a decent season. That's two
lefties out of the bullpen. I will say this, they
have no lefty starters.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Hmm. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
The Dylan Seas to me is is a bigger surprise
than even the Carlos Korez stuff.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
You know why the care surprising? I would say the
Krey is a bigger surprise than me.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
The reason wise because of the contract is three more
years of big money and that's so not what the
Astros have spoken of, right, I guess I'm surprised more
on the ceasing from the San Diego sid that I
am the Houston side. If Dylan SE's comes here, it's
because Dan is not sure that all these pictures we've
been talking about for four months now that are supposed

(35:05):
to come back?

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Are you ready to contribute?

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Give you six innings that that that to me is
the number one sign of maybe one of them is
all right? More phone calls coming up. Brian Bogus EEVIC
at eleven o'clock and ross you and I will do
a quick review of Happy Gilmour two in a matter
of moment seven to one three two one two five
seven ninety seven to one three two one two five
seven ninety Brian Bogus EVC and will join using about

(35:30):
actually about less than ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
If you missed in a Brown earlier today, A good
portion of that will be played during the on Dick
Show will be coming up at twelve o'clock here on
Sports Talk Sevenintie Matt Ross with you at ten fifty three,
really quick, Uh, just to kind of take a little
break from what the uh topic of conversation is, and that,
of course is the Dylan Steeze rumors, the Carlos Kreer rumors.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Last night before the Astros played The Wife and I
sat down and we took in Little Happy Gilmore too rash.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
You had watched half of it yesterday. I'm presuming you.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Finished it, so I figured, you know what, let's do
a quick review, okay, And look, it wouldn't take you
long to figure out what the plot is, so we're
not going to give you a whole lot of that.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
I'm going to tell you this.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
And by the way, Gordy, it was his birthday yesterday,
so I don't want to be too harsh on him.
But I said what I said about it, and he's like, well,
were you expect So he said.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Sorry, he wasn't. Citizen Kane. I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
There's no point was I expecting Citizen Kane. When I
watched Happy Gilmour, I hadation.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Level was very low.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
My expectation level was low. Slapstick comedy, a sequel. Adam
Sandler never going to re confuse winning an Oscar, although
he almost he almost won an Oscar?

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Did he not?

Speaker 2 (36:47):
For him Punch Drunk Love. I believe he got nominated
as well.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
So he's got a little bit of acting Chobsey.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
I don't know if he got nominated for Uncut Jims,
but I think he did for Punch Drunk Love, So
he's he's had some he's had some acumen. But in
the Happy Gilmore formatute that's not gonna be it. So
we knew all of the uh, there were going to
be lots and lots of cameos. So I'm going to
tell you this and this is this is the best
way I was going to be able to describe it

(37:15):
to you.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
The first half hour of the movie for me was
a ten.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
I loved the first half hour thirty forty five minutes
really then it dropped to about a seven, Okay, Then
midway through it dropped to a really solid five, and
then the last thirty or so minutes. Kim and I
could not wait for the movie to end. It was

(37:42):
so partly absorbed, over the top stupid. So my way
to describe it to you was ten to a seven
to a five to a one.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
That's how I describe I'm happy Gilmore too. The script
really ran a steam.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
You're saying, well, if it would have stayed, and I
would say, what don't we.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Able to discussed really discussed movie, like a year from now?

Speaker 2 (38:11):
I get, I don't know without spoilers, but I mean, yeah,
I guess we can hold off on spoilers. Point is, uh,
you could again if you're trying to figure this out.
He obviously got attempts to come back. There could have
been a lot of other more interesting, funnier ways to
attempt to comeback than how they did it. And I
just thought it got from it was a bad premise

(38:31):
and then it became completely preposterous at the very end.
Not that I was expecting reality, but I was again
what we looked and said, how much longer this movie
got to go? And it was like thirty one minutes
we stopped it. You know, you know when you're on Netflix,
you can see much left and like, oh, thank God,
it was to me. Some the premise was okay, the

(38:52):
execution was bad. There were some funny moments, for sure.
I laughed at me a time there. Okay, it was
a little too much with the I mean there was
like ten thousand cameos. It felt a little mailed in
from that standpoint, like having a few golfers pop up
and all that type of stuff. That's cool, Like oh,
he's John Daly's living in his garage.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
That's funny.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Even though John Day's probably was the worst actor in
the entire thing. Some of the bits were running too
the ground. Can I say yes? You know, like him
drinking out of everything. Yeah, that got ran into the ground.
There were some clever moments like I was like, oh,
he's gonna say somebody's closer at the end, and he
doesn't say that, he says something else, And so I thought, overall,

(39:34):
I gave it like a six out of ten, maybe
like a five and a half. I'm closer to a five.
Not the worst movie I've ever seen, so I'm not
gonna say I watched it. I will never see it again. Also,
it felt like Adam Sandler like didn't want to be there.
Did you think his acting like he needs to go
to fix mylow t dot com man. He felt he
was lacking an energy and part of the Cabby Gomer

(39:56):
was just and maybe that's just it. He's he's defeated
because of what happens in the movie, and he's he's
got to make this money for his daughter and all
that type of stuff. I guess that's what was It
was supposed to be the point. But yeah, and also
also the what happened to the quality of film. Everything's
just shot on It looked like they bought some some

(40:16):
cameras from Best Buy and then shot the film. Is
that a byproduct of watching it on television at home?
Though maybe maybe it just didn't look it. I mean,
I didn't like the look of it. I didn't like
the feel of it. I didn't like some of the jokes.
Like I said, it was just over the top, a
little bit too much like oh this this guy's got
fart breath.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Ha ha ha, Like.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Eh, yeah, it to me, isn't. And remember I saw
the first one and loved it. I'm bumming it down
to a five. I'm at a five because again, if
Gordy was in here bullying me, I'd say six, he
came in just like, oh this is I mean, first
of I also woke up at four o'clock in the
morning to watch it. I mean he he's Louisiana too,

(41:00):
So that's you know, the palette of a bat. This
would be like if this movie was produced by like
the LSU Film Board. That's how like he loves, he
lives and breathes Adam Sandler. He like loves all his
albums and went to go see it. Anytime he comes
into town, he goes and sees Adam Sandler. Gordy worships
Adam Sandler. So he was gonna like it no matter what.

(41:22):
He just was, Yeah, he's a homer, he is.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Yeah. And so.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
When he said I'm sorry it wasn't says Can, I
was like, what what are you doing? Enjoy your birthday?
He's gonna he's gonna defend it.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yeah. Like I say, it'd be like you're saying something
bad about Ed o'jeron. He's gonna defend it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Sorry, he's not Newt Rockney all right, Uh Bogacivic next
here on seven ninety Tommy Show with Ross all.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
Right Leton No.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Three Sports Talk seven ninety. It is a Matt Ross
with you. We've got Astros baseball.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
A day game.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Of course, we want you to listen to radio, but
if you happen to be watching it on television later today,
at some point you're going to see at least at
eleven thirty or to twelve thirty. The Brian Bogacevich led
to pregame show along with Kevin ashenfielder.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Bogie's at the ballpark right now?

Speaker 2 (42:14):
What a huge weight off of the shoulders of the Astros.
And you would never say that after losing four straight
games to Oakland in or to the A's and to
the Nationals, but it certainly happened last night, Bogie.

Speaker 8 (42:26):
No, absolutely, it felt like it was getting to the
point to where they needed one, not just for the standings,
but just to kind of let everybody breathe a little bit.
You know, that stuff starts piling up, especially this time
of year when the season's kind of dragging to begin with,
and then you have Texas making a move in Seattle
playing well. It was a much needed one win last.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Night, all right, So what is this time of year
like in the clubhouse. Before we get to the actual
particular players, you have been in the major league clubhouses
for part of your life and you've been around on
July thirty first or so, what is like for everyone,
whether their names are being mentioned or not.

Speaker 8 (43:04):
Uh, it's it's anxious, it's exciting. You know, there's always
you know, the opportunity for the unknown, and you know,
it's it's much more exciting to be in a clubhouse
for a team where you're thinking they're going to add
and we're all right, we're making the moves to go
for it, versus being in a clubhouse where it's you know,
you're kind of looking around and saying, am I going

(43:25):
to be gone? Are you going to be gone? Who's
going to be here tomorrow? But yeah, it's just it's
a strange time, you know it Just imagine being in
your office on any given day knowing that you know
there are gonna be some guys in and out here
in the next day or two. It just makes them
a little bit of anngst. But at the same time,
it's it's an exciting time because you know, once once,
once you get past this, it's really like, okay, here,

(43:46):
here's who we are, and this is the home stretch.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Now do you feel like and not that you can
speak on every trade rumor that's out there, Brian, But
do you feel like this is agent driven because the
agent finds out through reporters that their names are being
banned about Because I would assume that most general managers,
unless they're just trying to float her name out there,
wouldn't be calling their favorite Major League Baseball Network reporter
and saying, hey, I want to mention this guy's a

(44:09):
trade possibility.

Speaker 8 (44:11):
No, I think. I think everything that gets out gets
out for a reason, and and it's and it's agents
trying to steer teams into steer their players into what
they think to be better situations, or it could be
teams trying to you know, throw some smoke out there
and throw people off their scent of who's available and
who's not. But yeah, a lot of the stuff that

(44:32):
gets out there, uh, is out there for a reason,
and it's not usually because anybody's trying to tip their
hand as to what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
So if deals don't get made, tell me what that
like that clubhouse is like. For instance, let's talk about
just throw Dylan Ceese's name out there. He's been u
associated with a variety of teams, including the Astros. What
if Dylan See states to the San Diego Padre, what's
his mindset supposed to be if he still has a Padre,
say in two days from now.

Speaker 8 (44:57):
You know, I don't I don't know. You know that
that it really sex guys all of all that much.

Speaker 9 (45:01):
You know.

Speaker 8 (45:02):
Maybe maybe young players who who are going through it
for the first time or hearing about it and seeing
it for the first time, it might shake them a
little bit. But a veteran, I mean, Dylan See it
feels like his name has been in trade talks ever
since he got to the Major League, So so a
guy in that type of situation, you kind of take
it for what it is, you know, kind of look
at it as teams think I'm valuable, you know, teams

(45:22):
are interested that that should be a good thing for
me personally, and if it happens, great, and if it doesn't,
you just go about your business. It just kind of
comes along with the territory at some point. Eventually you
just kind of get numb to it all.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Last thing I'll say about this before we get to
the particulars. You know, I've asked many people when I'm
covering NBA games and traveling like, hey, what do you
hear about guys being traded? And the majority of them
typically say, if I have my contract and I'm getting paid,
that has to come with a territory of you know what,
I may have to move at some point in my career.

(45:55):
As long as the move, the check moves with me,
I'm gonna live with it.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (45:58):
Yeah, there's there are very few guys in any sport
who get into the situation where they're pretty comfortable or
confident thinking that they're going to be with one franchise
for their entire career. I mean, those guys are very rare,
and because of their abilities and then also just their
stature within those organizations. Everybody else the idea of moving

(46:19):
from team to team. It's not ideal during the season,
you know, it's kind of a headache from a personal standpoint,
But in terms of from a professional standpoint, everybody's under
the assumption that they're probably going to be changing teams
one way or another at some point, if not multiple
times during their career. So the idea of it isn't
all that, you know, disruptive, but just on your day

(46:41):
to day life, when it does actually happen, it's kind
of kind of a.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Pain, all right, bogeys with a Brian Bogus Expacity network
with us here on the Sports Talk sevnty. So let's
get to the two players that are being talked about
more than anybody else, and we'll start with Dylan Cees.
Walk me through if you can a why the Potteris
would make a move like that. They're four back the
Dodgers in the West, they are the wild card team.

(47:03):
And then on the astro side, are we supposed to
context clue that maybe all these guys that are at
rehab and working on getting back from the Triple A,
that maybe the astros in the background on their mind
are thinking, maybe only one or two of them pan out,
that I need as many reinforcements as possible in my
starting rotation.

Speaker 8 (47:23):
Yeah, so I'm from the Padre standpoint. Why, you know,
if you need to make moves one way or the other,
if you've got to shore up one place of your
team or your organization, has got to come from someone
somewhere else. So you know, usually you think of, you know,
trading minor league prospects for major league talent, but sometimes
it's just trading from a place of strength or a
place of surplus and trying to add somewhere else. So

(47:46):
I don't know that it's necessarily red flagging somebody because
the team is willing to move off of them. It's
just kind of you know what they need or what
they want at any given time. I think from from
the from an astro standpoint, look, it's great that there
are guys who are coming back. It's great that there
are guys who are really close to being healthy and
going to be able to contribute at the major league level.

(48:07):
But you know, the fact of the matter is when
a guy's coming off a major surgery and a long layoff,
even when they get back, you don't know exactly what
you're going to get from from a talent standpoint. You
don't know if they're going to be all the way
to one hundred percent. Just because you're activated, you might
not be all the way back to where you were.
You're certainly not going to be able to carry the
same workload as a guy who never went through that

(48:29):
or isn't coming off of an injury, and there's probably
going to be at the very least some inconsistency or
maybe some time when when your innings have to be managed.
So you know, I think, yes, getting a Christian Javier
or Luis Garcia back at some point it's going to
be additive. You add those guys into the mix, it's
certainly helpful, but it's just hard to really pin down
what exactly you can count on a guy for who's

(48:52):
coming off of a major surgery.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
So you brought up those two guys and didn't bring
up Sprint to Arrogatty. And because it's a different situation,
I think Raghetty's not going to have to worry about
a governor on him because it wasn't an army issue
that got him into trouble.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
So let me ask you this.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
If you were to put a hobbyer, and let's say
even JP France got in the mix, you're adding him,
You're adding Luis Scarci, You're adding three guys that are
going to be on a pitch limit the rest of
this year. That'd be ridiculous to think they're going to
be throwing ninety ninety five mile pitches per game. Does
that not then tack your bullpen or does that make

(49:25):
you livery of going to a six man because you're
going to already be one guy short in the bullpen
with maybe three or four guys in your rotation that
aren't going to able to give you get you deep
into games.

Speaker 8 (49:35):
No, you're certainly going to have to be wary of that,
you know, if you're going to have guys who are
going to be on a pitch count, first of all
for their total. Also you're talking about guys who are
going to be on pitch counts in terms of innings.
If you see one of those guys coming off of
a major surgery go out there and throw thirty plus
pitches in an inning, that's probably going to be it
for them, regardless of what their total was for the game.

(49:57):
So you're talking about always having the potential for a
short start. If you're already one guy short in the
pen because you're in a six man rotation, it makes
it really difficult. You certainly don't want to get into
a situation where you're throwing leverage relievers in non leverage situations.
That's that's taking away from a strength of the team.
So yeah, it's part of the calculus. And part of that,

(50:18):
you know, is who are the other guys who are
in the rotation. Can they be counted on to go
deep into games and kind of balance that out. Is
Fromer going to be able to continue to do what
he's been doing. Is Hunter Brown, you know, going to
be able to get back to being as efficient as
he was and being six seven innings instead of five
or six innings. And you have to weigh all of
those things, because you know, anytime you add somebody into

(50:39):
the roster, anytime you make a change to the roster,
the way the whole team functions is just a little
bit differently, and it's got to be accounted for.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Cop more minutes of Brian Bogacivich with us here on
seven ninety. All right, so let's get to Carlo's Crea.
That's the second name it's being brought up now. Obviously
a lot of that is because the thought to me
is that estsech Parties is not going to play anymore
this year, and you can insert Carl's cre at third
base it away. So when you first heard the name,
what were your initial thoughts? And then, just like we
do here on the radio, we'd heard to doce things.

(51:08):
So what does an early Brian bocus of a deduction
say about why there is apparent interest between the Astros
and trying to acquire their former shortstop.

Speaker 8 (51:18):
Well, I think why there would be initial interest is
quite obvious, right, it would fill an immediate need. It
could you know, could fill an immediate need. It's a
guy who you certainly know what you're getting in terms
of the clubhouse and on the field, and just anytime
a player of that caliber starts getting mentioned as being available,
and certainly when it's a guy who means as much

(51:39):
as he has for this organization, you're going to look
into it and just see what it is. Now, the
surface level interest is just the beginning. It's what is
it going to take to bring a guy in like
that is what's the prospect costs? What's the money costs?
All of those conversations are more important than just him
being available. But also with a guy in that situation,
you have to think about, you know, it's not just

(52:02):
for this year, Like, yes, he slots into to ESTOC
Parades the spot that he's vacated with injury, but what
does it look like in years coming? What happens when
you have a healthy Jeremy pinion, When you have a
healthy ESTOC Parades, where do all these pieces fit next year?
In the year after because it's not just a one
year deal for a guy like carlos Kore. So when
you're talking about acquiring somebody at the deadline who's not

(52:24):
just a rental and hitting free agency, you've got to
think about what does this look like for us moving
forward in terms of payroll, in terms of playing time,
in terms of how how the infield works. So why
is there surface level interest, I think is pretty obvious.
It gets much more complicated after that, though, Well, let's.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
That's what we were trying to do.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
I'm trying to size up twenty twenty six, Brian, because
obviously we're or down the two months left in this
season and change. If I'm thinking about twenty six, I'm
thinking that one of the names you just brought up
will not be a part of this team. That there
will be something that will be decided, because unless you
think you can move Jeremy Penna to second base, I
don't think I want a Zach Priddy's playing second base.

(53:05):
I think Jeremy I want to keep him where I
am at short stop. If I want to do that,
I don't think Carl. I think to preserve Carl's Korea,
playing him at third base would help him out to
you know, in terms of longevity.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
So walk me.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Through what twenty twenty six would be if this deal
was made. And do you agree with me that maybe
one of the guys we brought up wouldn't be here.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
It's certainly possible.

Speaker 8 (53:26):
I mean, if you added a guy like that into
the mix. You know, you obviously see some redundancy in
the in the positions, but it could also be a
thing of saying, hey, if we're if we can get
better now, maybe we do that move and then figure
out how next year looks in the offseason. You also
have the ability to take one of those guys, and
you know, I mean, you would have two guys in

(53:47):
Korea and Panna who would be certainly well overqualified to
play second base. But that's always the possibility.

Speaker 9 (53:54):
You know.

Speaker 8 (53:54):
I don't know how that changes your plans moving forward
with a guy like Bryce Matthews, but you know, these
are that have to be taken into account. And that's
why the trade deadline is always so interesting, because we
get so hyper focused on we got to make a
move for this year, we got to make this team
better now for this playoff run. A lot of these moves,
you know, will affect you down the road, so you know,
I don't know. It's a move that certainly helps in

(54:17):
the short term, but theoretically I don't know how it
works long term.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Yeah, that's good stuff and we'll talk more about that
if indeed it does happen. Bogey, look forward to seeing
you on TV. Thank you for the visit. We'll talk
again next week.

Speaker 8 (54:27):
All right, Thanks guys, you got it.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
Brian Bogacevic with us here from adik In Park, Astros
and the Nationals. Ross and I will have the Ondeck
Show for you coming up in about forty five minutes.
Professional shout out to all of you that have followed
me on Instagram and if you've not done so yet,
please do so at Sports Empt. At Sports Empt, the
Astros will win today's game if you follow me on Instagram.

(54:50):
If you don't follow me on Instagram, there's a chance
they might lose. You are so funny, I know. At
Sports Empt, let's go, Oh, you're gonna love it. You
don't mention your Instagram for a decade on this show,
and the second I start doing it, you start doing it.
I mean, do you recognize that at least correct? I

(55:11):
don't know what you're speaking of. All right, we got
to shut your ball mass up coming up in ten
minutes from now. We've obviously gone all the way Astros.
I know the Texans are practicing right now. It's fine, right,
I mean, they're doing fine. I think they're great. They're
doing great. Apparently some rookie got hurt.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
Yes, he's not doing great. He's not feeling great right now.
Seventh round pick out of a Rutgers Okay, yeah, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
I'm fine.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Who's doling out all this Rutgers money. By the way,
they got good basketball players. The football players are getting better,
they still don't win. I guess nil does not guarantee success.
As the folks over there in College station understand.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Man, money's going crazy.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Absolutely, so let me ask you this, and I don't
even of the answers. I guess I should do some digging.
Like you know, the University of Houston, we have had
our struggles financially.

Speaker 4 (56:07):
Mm hm.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
We don't have the base of gazillionaires like Texas A
and m Alabama, Notre Dame, you know, the ohiose we're
having a great recruiting class. And I'm not native to
think it's because our facilities are great. I mean they're good,
and they got a good football operations center, but we're
paying did did people? And this is an example, this

(56:30):
is just a question for whether it's Houston or whatever.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Did people just not want to pay up?

Speaker 2 (56:36):
And we had to go to ad had to go
to the boosters say hey, man, it's we need you
to step up.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
This is the time.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Yeah, I don't know how how's the old class looking
to shaping up these days? It's top forty nationally. Wow, yeah,
and we haven't said that in a long time. I mean,
will look, Willi Fritz is a great recruiter. It's always
no matter where he's gone, he's always been a good recruiter.
She has set your expectation levels higher, Manie top forty.
I'm talking about this year. I think we have been

(57:04):
top forty in years. I mean, Dan Danna just gave
up on recruiting and we're gonna look on the portal
Matt uh thirty ninth.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
Yeah, yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
I mean when was last sun You've brought up top
forty and Uhine Cal and Kansas and TCU and Boston College,
but like, for instance, UH Texas text I've ever been
talked about that how to text tech all of a
sudden get their recruits. Cody was okay, Cody Campbell's guys, Yeah,
they are twenty sixth So that dude is printing, is
literally handing out blank checks and they only get to

(57:35):
twenty six This is according to twenty four to seven sports.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
How legit are they?

Speaker 4 (57:41):
What do you? Okay?

Speaker 9 (57:42):
Well?

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Good, come on, it could be you can get a
fan boys everywhere too. I mean, trust me, five fan
fanboys with college recruiting stuff. Yeah, so that's what I'm saying.
You got to separate the super fan boys. Why would
I bring you a website that wasn't legit?

Speaker 4 (57:53):
Matt?

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Come on, now, I don't know you go to you
go to Texans for life dot com for your textans information.
That's where that's because I'm head writer there.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
That's true. That's true.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
So if you're a University Houston supporter and you've been
helping us, thank you.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Open up the check book a little bit more. Come on, Matt,
what's going with you?

Speaker 4 (58:14):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
My money's going to other plays. You know, I'm tired
of spending money. I need to save some money. And look,
I love college iol like it's like everybody else, but
don't come to me for money.

Speaker 3 (58:25):
I've done enough for the.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
University of Houston to see on three's got you at
forty first? Dang well, on three. So I think on
three got bought by Rivals. I don't know, you know
the same guy. I think he started all three websites.
This is more of a question for Gordy, but I
think the guy who started Rivals sold it started twenty
four to seven sports sold that started on three and
sold that. This guy's like a recruiting website genius. And

(58:47):
then some schools are not associating themselves with that. Hmm,
Like didn't Texas have some sort of relationship with one of them?
And then Texas like we're going.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
On our own now. I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
All right, But the point being is that, look the
schools that are making the most in rows, at least
in Texas when it comes to spending money these days.
I mean, SMU always had money, but I guess I
had to wait to get the ACC for people to really.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
Start giving it to them. And uh, the money that's being.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Spent at Texas tech guys are yeah, forty first, just
behind Vanderbilt looking good or behind Vanderbilt that's okay. Oh yeah,
I don't like that at all. You were watching Vanderbilt
football game. Yeah, it's depressing.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
I did.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
They were pretty solid last year. I have wooden seats
in our stadium. That's not true.

Speaker 3 (59:36):
That's so messed up.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
Man.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Come on, I mean I've seen their locker room is
in a log cabin. Their facilities are like Nacadoches is good. No,
I'm a love with Jack, but those thirties are nice.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
Okay, I just kidding. I'm trying to find SF phase
recruiting class. This is very small.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
Go to the twenty five thirty range, should be up
there in that area.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
I think they're behind Georgia State. I believe that behind
Devriye Technical College. Oh hey, got some good recruits.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
This is still around, by the way, I don't When
I was watching Jerry Spring like every commercial was for
Debry the Debry Institute. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't see.
I don't see uhfa on here. Isn't it crazy that
when you look at recruiting, it's not like, well, you
know this, this coach is going there and really dig
in and talk about how great. Their facilities are and

(01:00:27):
what's gonna happen is probably because the cash influx. Like
where was again we don't have time to figure it
out today, but where was text tech three years ago?

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
In the recruiting front? Were they twenty seconds go? Look
you really can?

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
I man, I don't want the internet many I want
you to hurt yourself. I'm the research bureau of this
of this show, and you're the hot take bureau. They
were twenty fifth three years ago. Wait, wit, that money's
not helping them out. If I'm U, if I'm that dude, Like,
what are you waving? I'm just giving you all this

(01:01:01):
blank check money.

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
What's going on? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
Forty third in twenty twenty two. Okay, so they have
them and them been bumping up.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Also they only have like sixteen recruits. They could be
landing guys later in the game, and they're probably using
them portal a lot of the classes. Yeah, oh yeah,
they were their number I think they had the number
one or two portal class. That does make some sense there.
All right, Uh, it's our favorite half hour of the week.
We ask you to call seven one three, two, one
two five seven ounty if you would like to do

No for a check bag, not seven, not for the
first bag. No chance, I sined it. I sent it recently.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
Now, maybe if you're basing an economy, that would cost

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
I'm Texas. I'm not textas boring, but I'm Texas raised.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
And one of the things about growing up was staying
staying up late and going on TV and waiting for
an American dad and finently gone when your mom was
and you know, you had to sit through at least
a three thirty minute episodes of King of the hill Man,
and then you fell in love with it, and you're like,
you know what, this is the stuff? This is texted
as good humor. And then they rebewed it, reboot it,
and it looks horrible, it sounds horrible. It's not the

(01:06:15):
same old Hank Hill and Bobby. It's not what I
grew up on. And anybody got time for that?

Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
Man?

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
This this doll is a run and Matt, you had
brought this up.

Speaker 8 (01:08:51):
Shut your bomb ass up with your strength of schedule talk.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
This team has taught.

Speaker 8 (01:08:55):

Speaker 3 (01:08:57):
I don't care how many games that have get teams.

Speaker 8 (01:09:00):
On a five hundred.

Speaker 5 (01:09:01):
I had almost rhythm played first place teams only from

of schedule talk, and that's all.

Speaker 4 (01:09:07):
I got your bum ass up, man.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
I think it's directed to Ross because Ross is the
king of the of the schedule strengths to talk. Let's see, well,
things haven't been going well against teams with below five
hundred records recently. I'll have to pull it up recently.
How about this week? Yeah, that would be recently, very recently.
Like just the other day, Meigel on seven on he Media,

(01:09:32):
what's the.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
Matter with you?

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
Hey, how's it going, guys?

Speaker 14 (01:09:35):
I was just gonna give you a peek behind the
curtain a little bit on the set airline that you
didn't like, West that goes from South. My wife worked
for them, so the CEO they fired him last year
when they first started talking about charging for bags because
it told them it was going to generate one point

(01:09:57):
two billion dollars in sales, but they were going to
lose one point seven billion dollars and passenger fairs. So
they fired him and brought in a new guy that
would put the bag fees on there. So you know,
I'm pretty sure he's telling them to shut their bum.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
Mess up up, man, Nieda, What does your wife do
for Dark Breast?

Speaker 14 (01:10:17):
She's a customer service She works at the ticket counter
and then she also boards the flights as well.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
Oh my god, she must be a saint. Yes, yes, definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
Does she come home every day and tell you funny
stories about people yelling at her for some randow reason.

Speaker 14 (01:10:33):
You know what's funny is my wife is huge on
social media, but she knows she doesn't know who anybody
is though she's waited on like several celebrities, and all
of her coworkers are like taking pictures and going, hey, hey, hey, look,
you know who that is, and she's like, I have.

Speaker 8 (01:10:47):
No idea who that is.

Speaker 14 (01:10:48):
So, you know, it's hilarious when she comes home and
tells me that she waited on somebody and she wasn't
just ooh oohing and awe and all over them, but
all of her coworkers were, so yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
Well good thanks to the information. Need you appreciate it?

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Yeah, well I think you we you brought up first,
and I backed you up on it. This charging for
the bags thing and is gonna is gonna ultimately cost
Southwest in the long run, don't you think, I mean,
I don't even think so. I don't even think about
flying Dark Breast anymore. First of all, enterntmental is significantly easier.
Second of all, and I do have a credit card
attached to schmided, so I get a bag free. But

(01:11:23):
I would go down to Dark Breast to get the
two free bags, and I don't get anymore. So I'm
not going down to hobby so Dark Breast until you
give me get those two free bags.

the radio over the weekend. I normally don't do that,
and I was listening to these two clowns after the
game talking about all kinds of sports, and they bill
going at it two pineapples, man, but one pineapple was
talking about rawling and you know how great he is
and everything, and that's a good feel good story. And
then they're talking about Judge, the other guy from the

(01:13:52):
other angle. Look the guy, the guy that was talking
about all the facts, he was right on top of
his stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:13:59):
Man, he had all facts and figures.

Speaker 9 (01:14:00):
And then the other guy just said, well, but count Rowling,
he's you know, he's he's a feel good story and everything. Look, okay,
give it that, he's a good feel good story. But
I still think pound for pound that George is still.

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
The better player.

Speaker 9 (01:14:13):
And if he loses the emmipeniship.

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
Life goes on.

Speaker 9 (01:14:17):
But he's still one of the game's best players. And
I felt sorry when they did the same thing to
uh Bregman when uh when when Truck was out and
Bregman was doing his ass, he was doing his job
and he should have got that m v P. He
was robbed all because of these dumb pineapples that you
know run the sports. Thank you for taking my call,

Speaker 4 (01:16:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (01:16:56):
The Ashes had a game against Seattle where the uh
Stace City network. You couldn't watch it on it. It
was on Sling or you had to go to MLB.
I want to MLB and went ahead and paid for
it because I wanted to watch the game. And then
they sit there and tell me that I can't watch
the game till ninety minutes after the game was over.

Speaker 4 (01:17:12):
What's up with that?

Speaker 3 (01:17:14):
Every game from Seattle was on Space City.

Speaker 17 (01:17:18):
Yeah, it was, No one was You couldn't get on
the Space City. It was space City, right, you're right,
but you had to have Sling or MLB because it
wasn't on the regular channels with at AT and d WOOD.
Which would I have on the direct TV?

Speaker 4 (01:17:33):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
No, no, no, I have no, no, no, James, I
have Direct TV and I watched all three Seattle games.

Speaker 17 (01:17:40):
Okay, Well, for whatever reason, I had to go to MLB,
And when I went to MLB, they said, you can
watch the game ninety minutes after it's over.

Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
What's up with that?

Speaker 17 (01:17:48):
I mean, why am I paying for it to watch
it cable laid ninety minutes after the game was over.

Speaker 4 (01:17:53):
That's crazy?

Speaker 3 (01:17:56):
All right, Well, nobody for your loss.

Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
I didn't have that ish because I have direg TV
and I have Space City and I watched all three games.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
Just fine, this is me. Maybe Klein's got different zip
code issues. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
He should be under the same umbrella. I didn't have
to watch anything on sling TV. No, the hell is
he talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:18:18):
I believe it isn't Friday on mapple is it. I
thought they weren't going to be on Mapple.

Speaker 7 (01:18:23):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
I think Friday's mapple White. I mean, let me diple
check Friday maybe map on. I believe Sunday is u Moku.
Oh my god, with the moku's Okay, Yeah, Friday is
on Apple.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:18:38):
They are really bulling you into getting this Southwest visa.
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
Yeah, you get the visa, you get the you get
the credit card from the airline. They gave you a
free bag. Now, if you travel a lot, you or
you are a fan of particular airline, you have a
credit card, you might as well do it just paid
off on time. I'm very proud to say, knock on
whatever this is. I have not been an interest payment
on my credit card and probably five years pridy you man.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
I'm lucky. But I know a lot of people can't
do that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
So that's the negative on that is, if you get
an airline credit card, those interest rates are about nineteen
twenty percent.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
That will hit you. That'll hurt, so just be careful.

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
Where it's to live by From Matt Thomas, I can't
believe Google would do that to anybody. Why are you
double charging the bags? That's maybe when you click on
it it goes down. I don't know, but it says
first bag. Also, I saw it. I didn't believe it,
but I still saw it because I have paid for
bags before on the airlines and it's always been thirty
five to forty dollars somewhere in that range.

Speaker 4 (01:19:39):
Who knows.

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
Yeah, charge It's like when you go to a restaurant
and they you get a steak, right, you get a
steak in a side, and you want a salad. You
know people like to have a little salad and bread
before they get their main course. Huh add a salad
for one nine?

Speaker 14 (01:19:51):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (01:19:52):
Charge me a dollar ninety nine for more for the
steak and give me the damn sald give me more value.
Don't you think I'm right about that? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
They've probably crunched the numbers from twenty three ninety nine
to twenty four, twenty five twenty nine. Okay, I'll take
that ten on sirtle and get that knocked out with
a salad, and be good. Charge me two dollars for
an extra salad. Shut your bumb ass up, respective low
end stake places.

Speaker 8 (01:20:15):
I saw.

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
I'm all and on.

Speaker 4 (01:20:17):
Stuff shit, so bum mess up?

Speaker 15 (01:20:20):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
I should teach a marketing class. I teach a lot
of classes. I would not want to take that late
my professor negative one? Can you give me a negative review?
I would give you the biggest paragraphs to make sure
I know which I miss Thomas class. You would you
need to go out of Google reviews and give me
the best review. I'm affable. I let you turn papers
in late, I let you make mistakes, and you know SFA.

(01:20:44):
You only use twenty letters of the alphabet anyway, Is
it is an SFA? Vowel optional? What vowe optional? I'm
staying out of this. Yeah, you probably should. I tease Lumberjacks.
I'm kidding. You are one of the better Junior highs

(01:21:06):
I've seen in a long time. Just wait till all
the nacadoses comes after you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
Man, they ain't coming after me. Hey, the neck rex
is crazy. I'm just saying, who's gonna run the run?
I can if they're coming after me.
