Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross one n ah Down.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Good morning, and welcome to a Wednesday edition, a smaller
size edition of The Matt Thomas Show at Ross This
is Sports Talk.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Seven ninety All Star shortstop Carlos Korea was scratched about
an hour.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Before the game with a left ankle injury at MLB
dot coms reporting now that.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
The injury is significant.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
In fact, the injury is so.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Significant Kara will miss weeks, if not months, of the season.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Why can't we have it all sports, Harvey, It's Houston, Texas.
We just can't have nice things an email and I
that's what sucks too. Now he's complaining about the pitch clock. Jesus,
I mean, my god, we just can't have nice things.

(01:16):
We just can't.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
He's adjusting, adjusting.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
He's a wallflower, you know it, say it a wallflower. No,
I don't know that dandy lion, A dandy lion. Yeah,
you go walk up to him and tell me he's
a dandy lion. He would to understand what I was saying. Okay,
you get the translator, You tell the translator, you say,
he's a wallflower. What is he adjusting? Yes? May sixth,

(01:42):
he only allowed one run. Okay, pitch count, hi walk
rate sixty three and three innings isn't terrible. I mean, okay,
it's not good, but it's not the worst I've ever
heard of. It's just a combination of things. Just to
be fair, It is not about em by itself, but

(02:03):
it's a large part of it. I know.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Really, you've been really righting the guy since it came
up here.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well, I want her to be successful. The Astro spent
eighteen million dollars on the cat and probably gonna spend
anuther eighteen million dollars next year.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Team millions, not that much. The end of the day.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Is getting ejected from games and he's making what, yeah,
thirty or something. By the way, we have two different
versions of the antics of frober Valdez, the Boston TV
version in the Detroit TV version. Do you think they're
on the same lines of thinking here sports serving I'm
gonna say probably not. Probably not. Well, Hey, by the way,

(02:45):
good morning everybody, Ross Ho would you tricked Austin a
good time?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Sure, all right, I guess you don't want to talk
about it. That's fine. So the Astros with the win
yesterday awesome victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. As everybody
knew Peter Lambert was going to outperform show he o
tani of course, because Lambert media is running wild. Yeah,
I call him Peter Lambeau. Is that what you call them? Okay,

(03:10):
I got you.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
The Astros got just enough hitting, got great pitching. Seven
innings from Lambert, two's innings from Brian King as well.
Even the series. Some are saying victory of the year.
You know it's the Dodgers. It's a world series title
contending team are saying that. Who is you said? Who's
saying victory of the year. I think if you went

(03:32):
on the social media streets, okay, good? And I think
the TV broadcast did it too well.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
Victory of the air.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Oh yes, I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
All right.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Look I a little punch drunk. Oh really, what happened
sinking to Mile? You are hitting the riatas or something?
I don't think. Oh man, I did sing it to Mile,
believe it or not. And I think we think we
used that topic like five times.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh really? Why?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I just there's just so much you could do about
sinking to MYO. Okay, you talking about the Battle of Pueblo,
a little Battle of Pluebla, a little bout the mole
that you're supposed to have, the little dark chocolate saw
you're supposed to put it the official food. I said,
pork tomalw Nobody believe me on that. But that's fine,
h okay, all right? So, uh, we have an Astro

(04:24):
shorter show today because they play the day game against
the Dodgers and Lance mccullor is our hero, number three
starter for the Astros in the playoff rotation behind Arrogedy
and Lambert. Safe to say, Okay, I mean we're running
low on options. Yeah, but Lambert's the goat now, yeah
he is. He was spectacular. You'll hear a little bit
from him on the on Deck show. We will. We
were gonna play Dana Brown during on Deck today, but

(04:46):
Dana has begged out because I'm sure he doesn't wanted
to talk about the very unfortunate news about Carlos Creer.
Let me paint the scene for y'all. I did the
on deck show for the ballpark yesterday at six o'clock
and literally, as I'm saying, hey, buddy, hi, I'll do
I mean, it's Astros on deck I'm hearing the internal
p announcer saying there's been a lineup change, and I'm thinking, Okay,
maybe it's just a guy in the day all or

(05:06):
maybe something with the Dodgers. It was no, Cardl's career
has been pulled, and you're going to see a new
shortstop or a new third basement. By the way, their
third basement. It's a home run yesterday, that was good.
And then Brian mctager gets on his video phone and
starts talking about it's a serious, serious angle injury. They're
getting tests on it this morning, and it sounds like

(05:28):
to me sports are that it will not be a
short term departure for Carlo's career in the everyday lineup. Yeah,
weeks to months. Sounds not fun. And hopefully we'll get
some more details on it. Yeah, and if the Astros
are you know, Joe's Spottle will meet with the media
here coming up very shortly, and if we can pull
something from that, we will be able to give you
an update. But my guess is he doesn't have a

(05:49):
lot at ten o'clock in the morning. It was a
day game after a night game, and let's face it,
the Astros don't want to necessarily, you know, put the
manager out there to say, hey, we're losing another part
of our infield for a long with a period of time.
That means both parts of the infield. Jeremy Pania injured
list and has been there for a while in Carl's Korea.
That's why I went with couldn't we have almost have
it all? We almost had it all yesterday.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
We almost did uh.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
By the way, for those of you wondering, because I
was the San Francisco Giants, if you recall failed Korea
on a physical because of his ankle. Yeah, it was
his right ankle and this issue is his left ankle.
So I mean, is this you know this is ross.
This is a second straight day that an astro has
been hurt during batting cage time. Yeah, in their dias

(06:34):
two days ago, going on the injured list. Happened during
the batting PreK What is going on? Is there like
warfare down there? I don't know. Is there like a minefield?
Is that what you're saying? Why are the Dodgers getting hurt?
I don't know. Is there a what is it the
electrical grid that's causing the forty nine ers all their injuries.
Are they near an electrical grid in downtown Houston. Maybe

(06:57):
dyk In Park should be considered a toxic environment.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Something ain't right?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Something help? Yeah, I don't know what it is. Because
it's a beautiful ballpark. It's great. It's hell, you know
what we're talking about this that day. It's held up
well among other ballparks. They constantly refurbish it. It's not
like this bumpy gravel on the on the ground. It's
not like they're not taking care of it. It's not
broken in the field, yeah, in the cages, you know

(07:24):
it's it's not Ebbittsfield nineteen fifty four.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
I mean, you.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Know this is this is utterly ridiculous. And then you
get the word that Josh Hater's doing his thing at
Triple A. Nate Pierson gave up a bunch, but Nate
Pearson doesn't have the same expectation levels. They want to
give him four or five inn he's get his mojo back,

(07:49):
and he can't give you that he walked five batters.
Maybe that's just best. It was better than his first
act outing. So you're in couraged. Yes, you might be
the only one. Okay, good. I choose to be positive.
I choose to be realistic. I know he's need to
come up and maybe he'll fail. I mean, if it's

(08:10):
of me, I mean, if it's a disaster, I guess
it's a disaster. So what like, I don't know. Well,
I think you're worried about it because he hasn't contributed
all to this season, So I mean, yeah, if he
comes up and doesn't contribute, then it's like the rest
of the season. He's just not there. He's been a
non factor all season long. So if he comes up
and he's a non factor or worse, it is what

(08:30):
it is. But you invested in him, and you did
say goodbye to fromber Bell this which probably was the
right thing to do, especially after what he did last night.
Or Frommer's still been better than datsu Em. Let's check
their war lord. How about ah Hinch not necessarily endorsing
the way that Farmer actor again, Well, we'll let you.

(08:51):
We'll tell you what happened in that game yesterday. We
got a lot of things going on a short, short
day again, Brian Bogus something normally with us at eleven
o'clocks going to join us today at noon. Right at
the top, of the Astros on deck. We have a
game three of the Dodgers and Astros will have it
for you with a one to ten first pitch. We
have what else we got going on? We mentioned from
ber hose al two bay swing. We haven't mentioned that.

(09:15):
It's funny because I asked, uh yesterday Joe a spot
about him being in the five hole position, and that
lasted a couple of days, because you know he's back
leading off. Now, what do you do with the leadoff
spot if Carlos Karay is going to miss a significant
period of time and Jerry Paine is not ready to
come back just yet. I don't know. I mean, I
guess you keep al Twove there. Parades gets on base some,

(09:38):
but he's not fast, right, al Tuova is not getting
on base, and he's I mean not that fast these days, right, Hmmm.
I would probably go paradis just because he does get
on base, even't know if the lineup cards are out
just yet, Even if he's not a speedster. Yeah, at

(09:59):
least he gets on base. I mean, honestly, I mean,
it wouldn't be the craziest thing in the history of
the world to put your on him there gets on
base more than anybody. He'll get more ab than anybody.
That would be the most atypical leadoff hitter maybe in
Major League Baseball history, right, I mean, Showy Otani's led
off a lot for the Dodgers, so not even battened

(10:20):
much anymore now, especially on days he's not even pitching.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
He's pitching. So you know what's funny.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I think now o Tani is like three and seven
against the Astros is a pitcher. You know, a lot
of that was against it was an Angel, so that
may not count. But did anybody, I don't know, how
did Vegas feel about Peter Lambert versus the show Heyo
Tony with a guy with Otani's he already a point six.
I canna imagine they were about two to one favorites.
That's what they are in the other two games. I
can go look this up. I was out of town,

(10:48):
so I even check the orange. That's fine. So the
Astros to get the victory, we will get to that. Yeah,
minus two twenty seven, so about two to one. Yep,
uh Fromberg got toss. We've got some other non baseball
things to get to, including the college football playoff.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Ross.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I'm gonna taken l on my gut feelings about it.
Sounds like the twenty fourteen playoff is coming sooner rather
than later.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
He's said never, you said never in the history of college.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm taking I'm taking a long you know what. I
gotta have opinions. I know I know Matt gotta have them.
I could be a mean man. You gonna get a
breakdown kicks offense, and I'm not gonna say a few things.
I'm not gonna back a thousand. I'm gonna try, though,
I'm gonna keep I'm gonna keep swinging.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, I got you. You're gonna keep out too vague.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
I'm gonna keep I'm gonna keep out too bag that
that feels unfair but accurate. Uh, that's terrible. Lakers last night,
UH played like they were gonna suppose to against the
thunder even though Uh y'all didn't watch it. And UH
and shake yids Alexander which just mid uh and we
had the end. Speaking of the NBA, we have a list,

(11:51):
according to the Athletic Ross, of the most overrated player
in the NBA. Saw that is it overrated or just
over talkative?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Like, do guys I think players don't like it when
they bitch about every call, and I think that's part
of the reason why we're getting our One of our
favorite players in the NBA on that list.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Was Draymond on the list. Lebron on the list, he
complains a lot.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Okay, maybe not, but we have a Houston local title
that unfortunately seven one three two one two five seven
nine zeros. Well, we're trying to figure out who the
starting lineup would be today against Tyler Glass. Now, who's
gonna earn you of two sixty hasn't lost yet. It's

(12:45):
Matton Ross with you on Sports Talk seven ninety. It's
seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven ninety. The answer
to your leadoff guy tonight is or today. Second baseman
Bryce Matthews front of the show, hitting two eleven with
an e on base of two eighty eight oh ps

(13:08):
six eighty two, but again looking for good vibes after
an appearance on the show yesterday. Jordan Alvarez is sach Peredes,
middle three, Walker Cam Smith, Zach Cole's batting sixth, Zach Descenzo,
fresh off the injured list, fresh playing his first game
for the Astros about seventh. Braydon Shoemaker, who had a

(13:33):
home run yesterday, is going to baut eighth. Yes, so
we're feeling good about that with a little Appo Taco yesterday.
And then Seesar Salazar is going to catch in baton
ninth today, his first appearance for twenty twenty six. Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
This sounds like a Grapefruit League lineup quite frankly.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
March fourteenth, Astrospring Training Baseball on Talk seven and beautiful
Wes Palm. Yes, we are in We're in Jupiter today.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
All right, let's go.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Why is everybody hurt?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
What is going on out here?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah? Right? And how do you hurt yourself so bad
in the damn cage?

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I don't know, like a significant ankle injury?

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Significant?

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Is she gonna be hanging out with Steven Adams?

Speaker 2 (14:34):
That's not seeing two weeks that. I mean again, we're
probably not gonna know anything for at least twenty four hours. Well,
you know, the team's gonna go to Sintanni after today's
game for the series it starts Friday, so it may
not be until Friday, or maybe it very early is
after the game today, But for Jesus. I mean, don't

(14:57):
you want to go? I mean, I don't know how
you y'all mean, I know how a lot of you
feel about Joe's spot and a lot of you feel
about h Dana Brown, But don't you want to go
hug him and say, man, y'all are just getting some
terrible breaks here, literally, and I mean the jobs of
Dana and Joe Spotter are on the line. And I literally, yeah,

(15:22):
we've seen it before, Matt were like, man, the you know,
the circumstances were great, and there's a lot of injuries
and this and this and this, but it's also a
bottom line business. And I'm not saying Crane's gonna do that.
I mean, well, Crane let go a general manager after
winning the World Series. Yes, there there are no parameters
that are out of bounds right way. I just I

(15:43):
just feel for the guys because sometimes things are out
of your control and there's got to be a fall
guy for results that. I mean, Look, as of this moment,
I'm not predicting to make the playoffs. Pitching has been
a disaster and everybody's hurt. I mean, this is I mean,
and look, Ross and I love the Astros and we are,

(16:04):
of course we want them to be. This is not
a major league lineup out there today against one of
the best pitchers in baseball. This is not a major
league lineup. It's a four. It's a four A lineup. Yeah,
it's it's a great Fruit League lineup. It's that we're
getting the guys ready to go. In April, we were
in the middle of March.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Lineup Descenzo, Shoemake, and Sallas.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Our makeup. Heer seven eight nine Cole, who just played
his second game for the Astros yesterday, is your six hitter.
Bryce Matthews leading off h I mean two three four
has been good? Yes, how too many's an off day?
I mean he just does.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
It's just it is what it is.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
He's slumping badly. He's sitting like two forty. I don't
even want to look at his ops. Don't. Then you
know I'm going to and then so here's another thing,
going back to the my situation for a second. Who
pushed it? If? Was it Dana? Was it Jim? Was
it Dykin?

Speaker 4 (17:00):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
All the above, all the above. Does somebody does somebody
want to rid their hands of this? Say hey, I
didn't want this guy, or hey, this is too much money,
or hey we heard through the grapevine that he doesn't like,
you know, being in the United States.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
This is Scott.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
As much as this is on Scott Boris, honestly, how
much is on the player. I mean there's a variety
of angles of this. He does have to adjust for
a lot, but you figured he would be a further
along in his adjustment. I mean everything he's kind of
talked about and said are things he has to adjust to.
But it's also I mean we're in the middle of May.

(17:37):
How long does that take? Are the astros culpable in this,
in the lack of adjustment and not having him better
prepared because we talked about this being the first player
they brought over straight from Japan and we're in their history,
so was there some fumbling on their end to where
bases weren't covered for everything he said, slope of the mound,
whether pitch clock, all the whenever he's I don't know

(18:03):
or is he pouting like you like you're saying, or
is it a bit of both. I don't be completely fair,
We don't know the answer. Yeah, because if we went
to five different groups, if we have Jim Crane invited
us to lunch day ROSSI he'd give us one thing, Yeah,
Dykin gave us and took us to lunch, and be
another thing hopeful an air shout of it. If the
astro's medical staff took us, if Joe A Spot took us,

(18:23):
if Dania Bryant, we'd have five. My thought is there
would be because I think, look in real life business,
if you make a hire in your company and it
doesn't work, and you've got a bunch of people involved
in the hiring, you're all going to try to separate
your sales self from it. So I don't know who
to believe it would be only to be the people

(18:43):
I would believe be the ones that would be want
to tell me. And since the astros are going to
remain quiet on it, either they're in consensus to say
don't discuss it at all, or be we really know
what's really going on. We got to protect the player
or protect ourselves.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
And everybody adjusts to everything.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
I mean, even if like you go on a trip
to like Europe four different people, Matt, if you went
with your whole family, everybody would adjust and acclimate to
the time change and whatever differently some people. I'll tell
you when I went to Asia, there was a certain
person in our party who well wasn't able to go
for a few days.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Okay, everybody had just differently.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, man, I don't even care about
the money, honestly, Ross, it's about you needed him.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
No, yeah, I don't care about the money either.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
A starter, you said goodbye to Fromber, which was the
right thing to do. You were hoping that Kavier was
going to come back. You did not anticipate Hunter Brown
being hurt. You did not anticipate that. Well, you kind
of anticipated that Spencer would would be that Spencer would
come back hopefully. You kind of knew what Lance mc
cullors was going to be. I mean this is he
was penciled in. The organization loved him. They've spent the

(19:53):
weeks showing him around and bragging about Look at this acquisition.
The astros said, yeah, energy Stadium. He looked, Well, it's
not just him, but it just compounds the problem. Yes,
after and again we must give him credit. People say,
what's going on. I don't like the mound, I don't

(20:14):
like the pit. I mean it's it's one after the other. Yeah,
and maybe he's just an honest person, and maybe there
are people who would be like, you know, I'm just
having my own issues. I'm just sudjusting. Or maybe some
things are being lost in translation, which apparently has been
hinted at as well. Thus three translators. You can get

(20:39):
you in there, Matt. How's your Japanese limited? Okay? Seven
one three two one two five seven nine if you
want to join us seven one three two one two
five seven. We gotta shut your bomb ass up at
eleven thirty. I'm afraid we're gonna get some tatsui emi
people calling in with a little such a bomb mass
up because it is touch you is calling in? No,
I think, oh, I think maybe his attractors may be

(21:00):
calling in because here's the reality of it. Ros No
matter what it is, it's something new every single time. Yeah.
But still at the end of the day, he improved
significantly from his first start. If he can iron out
the walks at the look, if I'd just told you
the pitching line pitcher B just had his second rehab start.
Three innings, one hit, one run, three strikeouts, okay, five walks, Okay,

(21:22):
He's got to iron that out. You wouldn't think too
much of it with no context. All right, breaking news
on Carl's Korea and Christ ten thirty one on Sports
Talk seven ninety with a word for sort of pro painters, Jonathan,
give me some dooming gloo music, ready to go, We'll
have it. We're not going to doom gloom on Sertter
pro though. We love sort of pro c e R

(21:43):
T A p r O. So keep keep doing, all right,
hit the breaking news. How man have we got?

Speaker 1 (21:57):
I intentionally have not looked.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Hit it again? Oh my god, hit it again?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
All right, I'm gonna guess.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Then you're gonna guess, right, you get one guess or
will for a year for season ending soon turn tendon
in his left ankle. Recovery is six to eight months.

(22:40):
I mean, come on, oh my.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
God, hang them up.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Four fifty season, Nick Allen, here we go, no Esac
Paradus and Jerry.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
What's it going on with Jerry pena?

Speaker 2 (23:08):
See? Okay, it's got to run some bases. Did I
miss something when I was out of town? Did he
like rip anything off the bone? Is he all right?
Jeremy painting back estock praise at third. We're all good
Well there goes the estock parties trade conversationd.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Cut put see good thing they didn't move him.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Well they kind of there was no need to him.
They had no healthy players dart the season, couldn't move them.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
What the hell's going on out here? What happened?

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (23:45):
He says he was in the batting cage yesterday, took
a swing and felt a pop and went down in pain.
Oh my god, just from swinging a bat, I would assume,
not even a hard bat, right, like a fun go bed.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
By the way, he is signed, he's got vesting through
twenty twenty nine. Yeah, but those are like he's got
to get MVP votes or something. So right, and I
think we're good. He is on the hook for the
Astros through twenty twenty eight. Yeah. I believe he does
two more years without vesting options, I think, and then
the first investing is twenty twenty nine. Yeah. So so

(24:30):
he ain't going anywhere. Even if they have a lockout,
he's gonna be around. Yeah, let's see a guaranteed. Oh well,
it's just five hundred and seventy five played appearances. Well
he could do that, I guess, but probably not at
thirty four, a top five in MVP World Series or LCSMVP.

(24:52):
Probably safe on the vesting options, but so on the
hook through twenty twenty eight, right for.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Two more years.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Mm hmm. Okay, so his right ankle didn't pass a
physical and his left ankle has got shredded, and he's
where he wears a back brace everywhere.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Okay, it's cool.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
I don't know. We're not supposed to be speechless a
radio show, but we're speechless.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
No problem, It's fine, It's not fine.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
This sucks. He played for you, great leader, good leader.
Now the bat has dropped off a little bit. But
he had occasional pop. But you you weren't embarrassed to
put him out in the lineup every single day. Houston,

(25:51):
come on, say something. We're we I mean, I can
go to twenty fourteen playoff talk. I can go to
Alprin Shingun's the most over ATD player in the NBA.
We could do that. I mean, I don't want to,
but let me hear your raw emotions. I got Emi,
who who hates the bump, hates the pitch clock. I

(26:14):
got Korea who hates swinging. I got Nick Allen. I'm
gonna finally pronounce his name correctly because he's gonna be
playing every day. Who just came out the Angelus ROSSI,
by the way, just a few days ago, I got
Shae Wickham getting his first eight BS of the year,
Shay quitcam and oh, by the way, you got Dana

(26:36):
Brown and Joe spot Of fighting for their manager, for
their professional careers in Houston, Texas. Now they ain't sweating,
They're both highly compensated. They will both get jobs again. Yeah,
but well, I know I missed gut feelings yesterday, but
I'm gonna just go ahead and say it. I think
they're both gone at this point because it just feels
like it just feels like a disastrous season that that

(26:56):
Jim Crane's gonna want to flush. That's my gut feeling
right now. We just got the career news, so I
reserved the right to change it.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
But it's not good. I know, I know it's not good.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Sex can't count.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
C J.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Strout worth sixty million dollars a year seven one three, two,
one two five seven ninety. We know we love the Astros.
It's in our best interest for the Astros to be
good because we're fans. So he got a grade three
basically ankle sprain or something like. He like I said
Steven Adams. I thought I was joking when I say
he's gonna be hanging out with Steven Adams. Yeah, I'm

(27:37):
not sure Steven Adams will be ready for the start
of the next k and.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
We be swapping recovery tips. What the hell? I almost
cursed worse. I don't want you.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
I don't want you cursing well, like carls Quays off
for the season, Matt all right, pictures Yeah, FCCBDA.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
They don't have anybody to play.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
You see this line up ourselves? Ours back has hurt, chamings,
hairstrings falling off?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Is your new body touch? How you might didn't know
we had.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
A pitch clock. It is like a hard, hard bound.
He likes a soft mound. And get him out there
with a little shovel, little gardening tools. Yeah, maybe some
fertilizer or something. Sure, whatever, this is terrible.

Speaker 7 (28:26):
We got to.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Discuss Texas offensive line.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
I mean, I'm down to do that.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
The most things, the thing I can be most positive about.
That's true. Lets you want to talk about the Rockets
off season. Wants to leave the Celtic. How's everyone loving
rafel Stone's comments? How was that yesterday? A new supports survey?
And then listen to the show, y'all talk a much
about rafel Stone blowback. We tried, Oh man, let's go

(28:56):
the phones say it what three two, one two Five'll
do it next top of the hour.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
We're not gonna talk to Brian focus ever. We'll talk
to him at noon. We got shut your ball mass
up eleven thirty. I'm gonna tell the physical I'm gonna
tell anybody that's within five hundred feet of Dike and
Park to shut their bumb masses up, because, man, every
time you walk over you know what, I'm not going
any more games. I'm done.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'm not gonna get that bad juju on my body. Hmmm.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
And by the way, he was seeking a mile yesterday
they served us smothered chicken in the media dining. Can
we gain we can we localize it a little bit?

Speaker 1 (29:29):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
It was good at Pepper's Onions.

Speaker 8 (29:32):
It was good.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
It was delicious, nice brown gravy, if you will, peppers
and onions, nice delicious. Sally made a great um sticking
out my own meal from the family. You know what
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna talk Mac Brown for four months.
It's easy, don't do it running Okay, We're just gonna

(29:55):
play depressing music for I don't know Ross with the
next four months.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Still good, No, it doesn't feel good.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Matt feels horrible, descending down the depths of infinite sadness
on The Matt Thomas.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Show with Ross.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Gotta be back, by the way, what's the saddest thing
that ever happened to you? Seven one three seven ninety eight. Hey,
y'all want to come to King Win and kick my dogs?
Come on in here. Seven one three, seven ninety We're
gonna hear from Carlos by the way, at the top
of the hour, so be ready. In about eight minutes,
we're gonna hear from Carlos. Brian mctager was with the media,

(30:39):
so I'm sure he's really he's a barrel of laughs. Oh,
I'm sure. I'm sure. Let's go to uh Brent on
seven ninety get ten to fifty two. Brent, what do
you got today? Hello?

Speaker 7 (30:50):
Man, Hey, it's terrible news with Carlos, a real kick
in the good. It's crazy that something like this can
happen in the bat and cage. Uh, you're right, as
y'all have said, it's a good thing that we didn't
trade off Paradus.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
And the Shoemake kid. You know, he's looking all right.

Speaker 7 (31:07):
Maybe we can develop him a little bit more and
maybe we'll be all right. But I was thinking there's
a silver lining behind all this, especially with the Rockets
in their off season now, is that we get to
listen to Matt Thompson on The tenth Inning Show answering
the drunk callers. I think that is just something to
look forward to.

Speaker 9 (31:24):
You'll have a good day.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Love Matt Thompson on the tenth Thompson crushes it on
The tenth Inning Show.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Mike Thompson is so good.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yes, yeah, thrilled.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
GEO on seven ninety ten fifty three GEO, good morning.

Speaker 9 (31:48):
Hey guys, great soul as usual.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
No, it's not the show sucks. The sucks today. I
was being polite, man, I was being thank you, all.

Speaker 10 (31:57):
Right, but uh, to just touch on the situation.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Man.

Speaker 10 (32:02):
Look, when it comes to the Astros, I usually I'm
a homer, a big fan, been watching them forever down there,
and I usually try to stay positive despite like the
obvious of how the season has been going so far.
I think we all can say that career wasn't the
end all be all to our success this season. But
it just feels like after the news we got this morning,

(32:22):
it's just like salting the wound at this point. This
season sucks, man. I mean, you got the situation him
being homesick or whatever. He got out to a on
a freaking free fall decline. It seems like, you know,
it seems like someone's always getting put on the ayel
every other week. We got bottom of the league pitching.

(32:43):
Correct me if I'm wrong, man, but this just sounds
like a.

Speaker 9 (32:47):
Season where it has blow up potential.

Speaker 10 (32:50):
I'm talking clean house, I'm talking trades, I'm talking everything, man,
because it's it's nothing's going right, nothing's going right at all.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
So that's what I take on the guys.

Speaker 9 (32:59):
Good day, man, and I hope, I hope we all
feel better soon. Thank you to you.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Uh it's ross.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
I can't argue U. This team cannot compete for the division,
and not that Carlos was going to be the end
all for this, but you're adding one more injured player
who's not coming back. It's it's not sustainable. It's just
not it's I mean, they're they're where they should be, yeah,

(33:28):
in second to last place. They're where they might end
up in second to last place in list. I don't
you ready?

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Go ahead?

Speaker 2 (33:40):
This is from Apollo dez uh. I are a good friend.
Adam Weser just put up a good list too. It's
basically like the entire start. You can make a starting
lineup almost out of it. Well, let me give you all.
We'll give WEX. We like WEX better anyway. Let's give
WEX the run. Here, get some music ready to go?
What kind of muse ma? I don't know, death, funeral, march?

(34:04):
Here we go? Wait, I think actually you have the
funeral all right? When you're ready to let me.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Know you're such a big chopin fan, Matt, I do love.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Me some chopin, that's what. That's that noodle that's got
a little eggin. Uh, some tabasco on top right at
the very end.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
On my computer's freezing hold on.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Well that's a stunner, all right, Uh, Diaz, just start
to music whenever you get it. Diaz, Pana Correa, Low
Berffito Myers, Tremel Brown Hater, Emi, Javier Blanco, Wisnsky, Walter Pearson,

(34:45):
and me. I'm going on the injured list today, Korea
the only one definitely out for the season. Although we're
gonna see Christian, We're gonna see Christian happier back anytime soon.
Doesn't sound like it. No, No, it doesn't sound like it.
Me at least hatered it okay yesterday? And then what

(35:11):
are the ass gonna do with email? Are they gonna
be kids to rehab him.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Down there or yeah? And guess we can do thirty
days down there?

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Right?

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Mm hmm hmm. All Right'm run the list one more time. Diaz, Paynya, Correa, Low,
Braffito Myers, Trammel Brown, Hater, Emi, Javier Blanco, Wesnasky, Walter Pearson, Jesus.

(35:43):
All right, really quick, Max before the top of the hour. Max,
you were at the game yesterday in Shirline, did you see?

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Yeah, guys, it was. It's great.

Speaker 11 (35:51):
First of all, it's great to talk to you. I
know the message has not been great today, but I
want to at least give a little bit positive iron
Jones when we get to hater watching Emi, I want
to provide a little bit of context, at least for
the listeners out there who probably not aware of exactly
what went happened and why Emi mentioned the pitch clock
in his comments. In the third inning yesterday in Shureland,

(36:12):
he committed what is being called a forced block. Now,
what that means is, basically, he committed what is considered
a third disengagement in the midst of an at bat
where no result happened. Basically means that he gets off
the mound, calls time if he commits that three times.
If any pitcher minor league or Major League Baseball commits
that three times in a single at bat, that is

(36:32):
called a forced box. When that situation. When Emi committed
the forced bok in the third inning yesterday in Sugarland,
the runners who were at first and second at the
time moved to second to third. He was confused about it.
He wasn't aware of it, and in many cases, that
was the reason why he brought up the pitch clock,
because he believed he messed up his timing and all
that sort of thing. So I found that so for

(36:52):
anyone who was curious about why he brought that up,
that was one of the reasons why he did. In
the case of Hater, I will say this the velocity
he is basically about eighty ninety percent there sinkers, ninety
three to ninety four sliders in the low mid eighties.

Speaker 9 (37:05):
He said quote that it was.

Speaker 11 (37:06):
Feeling like riding a bike and that he feels like
he's at least just getting into it. It feels like
the start of spring training for him, and at least
for what he said, guys, this is at least what
he's treating this at. He's treating this next month as
his spring training. He says he's got about five to
six more outings in Shereland and about May twenty third ish.
I tweeted this out last night. He said that May
twenty third, ish is that when he's at least targeting

(37:29):
to be back with the big league club. So if
anyone's you know, wanting some good news or wanted to
put anything on their calendars when they want to like
maybe kick back in and see what the team's going
to be looking like, put in your calendar possibly for
May twenty third, because that's the timeline that Hater has
been given by his coaching staff. So we'll kind of
see how things go. Nate Pearson also yesterday kind of
a mixed bag. It seemed there was an error committed

(37:50):
by CJL Exandrew yesterday that kind of inflated his numbers.
But I mean, he didn't necessarily look the greatest. But
it will kind of be interesting to see how part
he goes. But hoping for good things, guys, hoping for
good things at least in the future. I know it
doesn't seem that way, and we're very interested to see.
I just heard Carlos comments, will be interested to see
what what Bogee and others who are like you, guys
obviously there every single day say about this as well.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
But thank you great Max our sugar Land Space Cowboy
correspondent sports Rvey. I love that. I'm sorry, Max. I
don't want to hear whatever you tried to say. I
don't give two craps about it. I love you, but
good stuff, good stuff, but I don't care. Oh man.
Carlos Correa spoke to the Medium moments ago. You'll hear it.
Next is the mac.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Thomas Show with Ross.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Let atone for Sports Talk seven and he shuts your
ball Max up. Anybody got time for that coming up
in about twenty five minutes. I feel like the entire show.
Ross has been there.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Shut your ball messed up?

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Anybody got time for this? Ah? All right, it's crazy.
As promised, Brian McTaggart was put his phone on. We're
gonna give him credit. Thank you very much for the audio.
Here is McTaggart asking Carlos career questions about twenty minutes ago.
What else, what's your prognosis.

Speaker 12 (39:05):
Any surgery on attendon my left ankle, which will require
for me to miss the rest of the season.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
How tough is it to get that news? Tough?

Speaker 12 (39:16):
Pretty tough, you know, not what I was expecting. But
you know, now it's time to deal with it, face
a head on and and focus on that rehab.

Speaker 11 (39:26):
What happened?

Speaker 12 (39:28):
It's I was hitting the cage normal day, feeling great.
I went through my routine, took a swing and just
fell up.

Speaker 11 (39:35):
Pop.

Speaker 12 (39:36):
They just completely snapped on me and then it fell
to the ground and couldn't.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Put weight on it.

Speaker 12 (39:40):
It's just swinging, landed, planning, normal swing. It's a normal swing,
and it just it just I felt like a loud pop.
I heard it and felt it, and right away I knew.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Something was wrong. Do you know yet when you're gonna
have surgery.

Speaker 12 (39:53):
No, yeah, we went away for some other opinions and
all that you know, go through, but we all go
through and we have these type of injuries, and just
make sure that surgery is the right move for It's
a complete tear, so most likely we starve your some
point this week. What's like the time to six to
eight months, depending on high recovers after.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
So we'll see how disappointing is that your injuries just
piling up.

Speaker 6 (40:22):
With so many injuries on the team this season, how
tough has that been?

Speaker 12 (40:25):
Well, you know, so I know that I might not
understand it now, we might not understand it now, but
I'm gonna keep moving forward, trusting the large plan and uh,
you know, I'm gonna keep a positive attitude, and you know,
even though it comes at a moment where you know,
falling in love with base more more than ever, and
I have a great group of guys, I can understand that.

(40:47):
You know, he's in control, and I'm going to keep
moving forward and focused on the rehab.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Well, it's six to eight months, but honestly, we're al
sie he can take time because I don't think we'll
have baseball much of twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
That's true. Actually, yeah, plenty of time to rehab.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
You'll be one hundred percent when they hit back. Get
on the mound again and get on the field. So
he's saying, loud pop or is this is this an
achilles thing then? Or do we didn't have any word
on what the actual injury is? No, No, I would
assume he would not have the definitive answer on that. Yeah,
well I figure he does. But do I mean tendons

(41:25):
do pop? Correct? Yes?

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Ligament or attendon?

Speaker 2 (41:30):
I don't know. You know, we gotta start doing I
got to get on the show.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Oh no, I'm just doing a thing.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
I'm talking to people, trying to get the little the
vibe of the team, and I should be staring at
spatting practice. But apparently terrible things happened two straight days.
You got oblique for yan air and you got a
pop of attendon?

Speaker 13 (41:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Who else had an oblique? Ind was it Nick Allen?
Was that over?

Speaker 5 (41:56):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Somebody Jake Myers took Jake? Yeah, it doesn't really matter
what I mean, it does a kind of.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
You just can't have nice things. This is this is
terrible juju. Six to eight months.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Imagine being a thirty something year old athlete telling you
that we're gonna get your back on the field in
six to eight months. What a kick in the groin
that would be, or in the shin or in the tendon.
So we got a arm fatigue for yes, Then we
got a biceps yes, an oblique duh? Shoulders keep going,

(42:42):
hamstrings absolutely, elbows?

Speaker 13 (42:44):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Quadriceps for low Berffito, yep, groin for Tremmel who we
hate the groin and another oblique for Yer. Yes.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
This is like head to top, we're hitting everything. Can
I say something about it?

Speaker 4 (42:58):
Yes? Sure?

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Why not?

Speaker 14 (42:59):
This all I'm gonna say about In track ins double A,
there's programs that are almost like a haunted house.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Like if you go there, you're going to get hurt.

Speaker 14 (43:10):
And the Cougars are one of those programs in track
that like, no, I'm saying and this is like I'm
not even throwing shot. This is serious, Like everybody that
goes there ends up getting hurt, like career ending injuries.
You know, some people make it through. But now the
astros in the whole MLB, this is going to look
disastrous for the organization itself. This reputation is going to

(43:35):
be with them forever.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
I want to argue with Jonathan about this. I don't
think I can.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
I think if you pay somebody they'll still come.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Yeah, but uh yeah, this is not good look And
I mean you fired the head of training last year.
You went Jeremiah Randall, how's he feeling right now? Oh,
he's feeling just fine.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
I think you might want to call it. At eleven
thirty Jeremiah and.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Mobile calling at eleven thirty during shut you up on
massed up ironically now said.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Oh it's all my fault.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
How's it going over there in Houston?

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Angela eleven ten on seven out of Angela, Good morning
to you.

Speaker 8 (44:11):
Good morning, How are you gentlemen doing wonderful?

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Well?

Speaker 2 (44:15):
That just brings me to what while I.

Speaker 8 (44:17):
Was calling that everybody is calling for Dana and the
manager's job, but I'm questioning the training. Say why are
so many players hurt and constantly getting hurt? So kind
of depressing this as a blow, you know, blow, We
just cannot catch a break. It's not just astrol fans

(44:40):
of Houston sports.

Speaker 9 (44:41):
In the general.

Speaker 8 (44:42):
But anyway, I just wanted to talk about all the
training stuff and why are so many players getting hurt?

Speaker 2 (44:49):
I listen to you guys every day.

Speaker 8 (44:51):
I've called a couple of times and y'all do a
wonderful job.

Speaker 9 (44:54):
So this is really depressing.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
I know, thank you Angela for the nice work. Angela.
We appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Yeah, we don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Whoever is on this training staff has years and years
in experience. They know what they're doing. They're not they're new.
They're giving them food.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
It's a pulpourri of different issues.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
Yes, if it was like if it was soft tissue issues,
you could probably narrow it down to a variety of
different things, bits everything. It's also you're talking about professional
athletes who are pushing their bodies to the limits.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
I don't know, man, but it's been back to back years.
It's not been fun.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Is it pitchclock?

Speaker 4 (45:35):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (45:35):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (45:36):
The game increase?

Speaker 2 (45:37):
I mean, Rossie, I was done with the Astros in
two hours and twenty minutes yesterday grand there was only
three run scored. But it this doesn't feel now. Look,
obviously the Astros are leading the case on this, but
there are injury lists throughout baseball that are damaging. We
mentioned this yesterday. You weren't with us. Trek School is

(45:59):
gonna be out three US. Yeah, Garrett Crochet's in the IL. Yeah,
it's the top three cy young finishers are all in
the IL to have stars player sports, and I don't
know if they're trying to jam one hundred and sixty
two games in one hundred and seventy five days. You know,
teams are giving guys days off, but we are. We're

(46:19):
trying to fast pedal through a season where maybe you
just can't or maybe the human body just is like,
you know what, if you're a major league athlete, you're
only going to play one hundred baseball games, maybe that's
just what you should do, because the body is going
to continue to tell you that you trying to push
through one hundred and twenty one hundred and thirty hundred
and forty games. This isn't practical. Well, I'm also gonna

(46:41):
give you the number one reason to me, people aren't
gonna want to hear it's bad luck, bad variants, it's
bad injury variants. It happens, and things happen in life. Yeah,
and things pile up one after another, and we sometimes
we try to make sense of everything, and sometimes there
is no sense, There is no rhyme or reason. But
for a second consecutive year. I mean, the Astros did
change up their medical staff. They did. You can't blame

(47:03):
the trader. Jeremih is like, I ain't kicking this level.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Because I see you later.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
I like Robert Ford saying that this is what the
Braves right now, Braves eyel is looking okay, right, They're
doing well. But you know what, here's the thing. We
don't care how the Braves are doing. We don't care
how the Blue Jays are feeling. We care about what's
going on with the local team. And we're about to

(47:31):
watch Nick Allen and Zach Decenzo get lots of playing time.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
You'll get you some here.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
They don't feel to be fine. Well, two vas eventually
gonna be hopefully turned things around the plate. Oh, Ronald
Cooney Junior got a hamstring strain over the weekend. Oh
the Braves, Jeremiahi fault. Jeremiah's like, can I catch some
slacke in some city please? I'm getting not in two
different metropolitan areas now, all right? Eleven thirteen, It's Madden

(48:06):
Ross seven one three two one two five seven ninety
seven one three two one two five seven ninety Astros
on Deck begins at noon. I'll start with a visit
with Brian Bogus seven. We'll run through some of the
highlights of yesterday, and we'll let you again here from
Cardlo's career. We do a little more breaking news on
the astros, whether it's a breaking news day here on
the program, Oh boy, back here on the Mark Thompson

(48:28):
with Josh show something. Yeah, it's fine, just listen. I
don't care if you know her names. Uh tat sweet
Emi is going to start one of the games in
the Seattle series next week. See he's ready. Matt told
you all good. Maybe nothing to worry about. It's gonna
sink or swim. I love it.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Sink or swim. Baby, my optimism is minimal. Well, yeah,
it's not like he just threw six score listen, triple a.
I understand. And the reality is.

Speaker 15 (49:06):
This season's a wash.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
I mean, give him all year to figure it out
if he likes it. Here so you can collect on
eighteen million dollars again next year.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Damn here, the hits just keep coming.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
I mean, what will the crowd be like.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Nervous?

Speaker 2 (49:34):
They're gonna be a warm They're gonna be a warm
inviting bunch. I can tell you that anxious like that
golf clap, ladies and gentlemen entering the Mount bob Ford
now on the mouland to totsuya Em. I will be
encouraging him and wishing him the best. That's nice. Knew
we should make it a bros hangout or something. Go

(49:54):
to the game, just sit back and have a couple
of pops and root for him. Sure, I mean, he
couldn't be any worse. I don't want to boo him. Yeah,
you don't want to boo them, no hissing. So uh,
Kyle Tucker has been doing getting booed. Yeah. Oh, by
the way, last night there was Dodger fans in the city,
but they didn't overrun the building. They were in the

(50:14):
they were down the first the third base line of
the Dodgers dugout was they cheered. There was a little
booze for Tucker. I thought it was much to do
about nothing, because everybody was kind of pissed off that
people were booing Tucker and there were so many Dodger fans.
The reason why their Dodger fans is because not because
they came in from l It's because the Dodgers are
the World Series champion, and people like to wear T
shirts on winning teams.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
It's easy.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
The crowd that was there were Houstonians, there were Dodger fans.
The Dodgers were twenty and fifty, they wouldn't be there,
but they're fifteen to twenty or whatever. They are what
they will be. And the winning bandwagon.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Yeah, yeah, Dodgers fans are everywhere too, I guess.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Yeah, they are probably come out, probably come to Houston
looking for fights. Also, I mean shoit shohe Otani is
the greatest show on earth. He was made yesterday. It
was okay, did throw a bunch of strikeouts, but he
gave it.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
How many runs you give up?

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Two? O they hell? Baby?

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Oh how many innings you throw?

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Seven?

Speaker 1 (51:10):
I think that sounds better than mid.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
I don't care. He got nonether loss. You don't like
facing the astros. It's bad Juju gave up two runs.
You're scared to play the nationally seven innings, two runs,
eight strikeouts. He sucks, He sucks. What a horrible start. Hey,
I liked my guy better. He yeah, he got out
dueled by Peter Lambert. Baby, just as we all predicted,

(51:36):
Just as we all predicted. Let's go to uh Scott
on seven nine eleven, twenty two Scott, Good morning to you,
Matt Ross.

Speaker 9 (51:43):
I just want can I ask you guys a question?
Do you guys feel numb to this at this point?
Like when you here, I mean normally someone like Carlos
getting hurt for the season. Yeah, so it's obviously a
huge story, but it feels so routine at this point,
almost like we're, you know, just waiting for the other

(52:05):
shoe to drop every other day for a season and
a quarter now, basically with the Astros, Like when Hunter
Brown got hurt to start the season, I was like, oh,
here we go again, And I remember having like an
actual reaction to it. Now it's just I'm so used
to it at this point that it's hard to even
feel strongly about it one way or another. Are all

(52:26):
kind of in the same boat where it's like, you know,
almost like we're seeing ghosts at this point.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
The injuries up until yesterday, I mean, they didn't necessarily
move the needle. And not that Carlos is having this
all world season, triple crown and season, but he's a
guy that plays every day or did since you made
the trade for him. He inherited the shortstop spot. He
is a middle of your lineup guy. He's a recognizable guy.
He's a highly competated guy. I don't know about you, Ross,

(52:55):
but this, this thing's a little bit more. It just does.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Yeah, he's out for the season.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
I mean everything else is like, Okay, yeah, I got
an oblique, gona miss a few weeks, hamstring. You know,
I'll be back.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
He's getting major surgery. He's gonna be out for months.
This is yeah, this is.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Definitely to me. Popping oft tendance is not like a
should discomfort. Yeah, I'm not numb yet, So this this hurt.
This hurt today.

Speaker 9 (53:19):
Fair. I guess you know, I just would never whenever
we you know, I listen in on the shows and
we're talking about it with my buddies or whatever, and
it's like, well, when this guy gets healthy and that
guy gets healthy and that guy gets healthy, we're gonna
be loaded. And I can't keeps crossing my mind. That's
assuming everyone else stays healthy the rest of the way too,
which you know, we just unfortunately have not had a
great track record of that. I did want to, I mean,

(53:42):
I guess in a moment of levity, especially since we
won yesterday, even though it gets ruined by the injury.
I wanted to ask you one more question because y'all
normally do a very good job of tempering fandom overreaction.
So I'm gonna give a take, and you guys tell
me if if y'all don't mind, if y'all think I'm
overreacting or not. Okay, the jose To strike out on

(54:02):
that slider was the worst two strike swing I can
remember seeing in my life. Is that Is that fair? Unfair?

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Uh? Well, Carl, Jerry and Penne has ever been a
great hitter against sliders, and I've seen him take.

Speaker 9 (54:17):
Some battle with that pitch. I mean the catcher had
to almost dive to save the thrown into the astros dugout.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
We love He's awesome. He's going on the Hall of Fame.
He's a great human being. That was a Little League swing.

Speaker 9 (54:38):
Yep, yep, it was. And yeah, I love josel TV too,
But that's the guy.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Trying to get out of a slump, trying to say
that I hit to all fields and he just really
came up short.

Speaker 9 (54:50):
And he was so good at the beginning of the year,
of being patient with pitches and really prioritizing it, and
unfortunately just hasn't been able to keep up. We all
we all resort back to our instincts, I guess at
some point. But appreciate you guys powering us through. I'll talk.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Thanks Scott. You know another thing too, ross His walk
tole has dropped considerably. Remember the first month of the
year when I was walking on a semi regular basis
those that's gone. Now, Yeah, it's predictable. I mean water
didn't we have whatever how many years of sample size.
Generally things will regress, but you were hoping it was
also something with the abs and he's I think the
walk rate has still been better, but I just retweeted

(55:30):
it Mac. Look at the where that pitch landed on
that Like, do you know the game day app where
you look at the pitch location.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
It would have hit a left handed batter.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
You don't have to look at that pitch landed. Oh
my god, it was bad.

Speaker 4 (55:48):
And you know what he was.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Extra looks jose Al two B tries to make things
happen when he's slumping. We've seen this before. He sometimes
he goes up there and he's like I'm gonna swing
at this no matter what, because he's got great hand
and coordination and we've seen him hit balls way out
of the strike zone for hits. Correct, he's done it before,
and it's one of those things where it's incredible when
he's able to get contact on something and send it
the other way and poke a single, and then when

(56:12):
he swings like that, it's it looks bad. It's almost
I don't know if it's worse, if it's the video
or it's the worse of the stack cast showing it.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Probably the stack cast.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
I mean, it looks like it's gonna Actually it would
have been behind a left handed matter. Okay, he's my guy.
I'm not doing this anymore.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Well, am I wrong? You'd be your guy. But we
can also be honest about it.

Speaker 14 (56:37):
I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Brian on seven eight had Brian.

Speaker 5 (56:45):
Hey, guys, a question for you. How much is the
acceptable amount of bleach you can start drinking at this point?

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Zero?

Speaker 1 (56:52):
It's just baseball, Brian, It's all good.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Well, there's about to be fair, Brian. There are about
ten people I would like to have drink bleach. But
it doesn't involve around the answer of all right, all right.

Speaker 5 (57:03):
Now it's I'm just curious to see how how not
necessarily this injury, but even everything was scooball and all
the art injuries, I'd be curious to see just how
this plays into the off season and the collective bargaining,
if there's maybe added time. But back on the pitch plock,
because you're remember when the pitchclock first came out, it

(57:24):
was twenty seconds, and I think they dialed it down
a little bit between runners on and runners not on,
and I wonder if that's caused an increase in some
of these elbow injuries. I'm not saying Scoobl's was that,
or Hunter Browns, but I'd be curious to see it.
Seems like even with Garrett Cole and all that, all
these guys, since the pitch clock has come out, you've

(57:46):
had more Timmy John injuries or elbow injuries things like
that since the implementation of the pitch clock, especially since
it's comes down where it was. I'd be curious to
know if that if y'all think that that may also
be in the discussions of hey, we don't need it
to go up to thirty seconds, but if we got
it to twenty three or twenty four. Just have a

(58:07):
couple extra seconds on there. You know, you're adding what
ten to fifteen minutes maybe to a game. I don't
think it's going to add that much more in the
long run, but i'd be curious to know if that's it.
But hey, guys, we're.

Speaker 9 (58:20):
Only four back somehow after all of this.

Speaker 5 (58:23):
You're only four out of the division leads. So if
you can hold this together with Duck Tape and Bayen Wire,
who knows what could happen. It's baseball Crazier stuff has happened.
But I know you're all going to get to Uh,
I just.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
Don't get her.

Speaker 5 (58:38):
Shut your bomb ass up, so I'll let you go.
But Ted Turner also died, so you're believing or not
for tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
That's right, ross. Ted Turner's locked and loaded for tomorrow
for believing it or not. Oh he died yeah today,
all right, single handleing change the way we watch television
in the last fifty years. Believe it, Yeah, to believe it? Yeah,
I believe that's to be accurate. All right, let's do

(59:07):
this next half hour. Shut your bum ass up. Ain't
nobody got time for that. Happy birthday. By the way,
to Joseel Tube. We have time for that in a
bubble wrap him. I guess it's the day off on
his birthday. Are we sure nobody's gonna hit in the

(59:29):
cage or something.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
I guess we're not one hundred percent sure.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
Thirtyus usually get like three hits on their birthday. That's true.
I'll have that about that birthday. Note about Josel Tube
during the on show, Look, get this professional radio teeth
a little four fourth promotion. Brian Bogus Epic's going to
join me right at the top of the hour, thirty
six years old today for jose Al two bay wonderful.
All right, shut your bum ass up, let's go seven

matter with you this week?

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
Uh?

Speaker 14 (01:00:04):
You know, I went to the game Monday and I
was around some Astros fans and they just got me
on a topic because I think it was EASTI perette
is that you know, had a bad swinging of the
foul ball into his leg, like you know, he had
to walk off a little bit, you know, go struck
and some dudes next to me were like, oh okay, yeah, coach,

(01:00:24):
let you know, take me home. I'm hurt, like you know,
just you know, because he took a long time basically
talking mess that like you know, you're not really hurt,
get back there and play like he's some mule dude.
Y'all will never ever be this much in shape in
your life, ever in your life. You never even probably
even never dropped the mile. And you're talking about he's

(01:00:45):
not hurt and even down to this career thing, I'm
seeing people saying, tell him to suck it up and
get back on the field.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Man, Who do y'all think y'all are y'all are nobodies?

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Yeah, y'all, buch you nobodies? I got one. I'm gonna
take it back off that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Ray in Miami calls The Morning Show yesterday says that
Kevin Durant was faking the injury. Did he quit on
his team? Shut your bumbass up. It's a stupid take
shit your mess up, man, Shat your bumb mess up.
I mean, look, does Kevin have his warts? Of course,
nobody's perfect, except of course sports RV. But come on now,

(01:01:21):
Kevin Durant was born to play basketball. He don't want
me sitting on the bench. Shut your bum mess up.
You don't tell you talking about your bad fan. Go away,
you don't you bum mess up? Man, Critical thinking folks,
not on sports radio. I mean it's even like one
step of critical thinking. Kevin Durant likes basketball. Kevin Durant
wants to play basketball. That's not even that critical a thinking.

(01:01:45):
It was dumb. It was stupid, terrible, terrible, terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
We're getting dumber as a society, Yes we are.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Russell's the matter with you?

Speaker 11 (01:01:52):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
I mean, can I just go to general astros injuries?
I mean they're piling up one half or another hamstrings, obliques, shoulders, everything,
arm fatigue, slope of the mound, pitch clock, food, ankle,
bat and cage.

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
Can't do anything any talk. Shut your bumbass up.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
Ain't ain't nobody got time for that. You can tell
Tatsu he mighty shut his bomb ass up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
I'm not doing that.

Speaker 9 (01:02:22):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
He'll be going on a year anyway, He's gonna go
back to Japan.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
Maybe No, I don't think so. You wanna bet on
that Scott Borrows that happened be gonna say about that?

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
It's gotta be like, man, you signed me. I found you.
You found me. You'll sign this cat and you will
play for this eighteen million dollars next year, well in
twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
And Zach Dezenzo, we trust.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
Hey, we're gonna get We have to get to know
Zach Decenzo, do we not?

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
Yeah, it's good. It's a you know, Italian WBC stalwart.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Yeah, he was good and now he's down on the
Astro gear for twenty twenty. Zach Cole's ready to dominate.
Two Zach Cole, two games, one home run. I like
the Audier seven one three two one two five seven
ninety seven one three two one two five seven. Nintie
Matt in Spring Branch, Matt, what's the matter with you? Yeah,

(01:03:12):
I'll get right to it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:13):
I'll listening to the radio show this morning in the
Morning Drive, and uh Cole Thompson is on there advocating
at the Astros be better with Framber Valdez. I mean
they might have one more win, but he is not
worth that. Nick the dude is a cancer. He found
about as smart as the people pining for Trevor Bauer
the last couple of years. So Cole Thompson, shut your
bum ass up. Ain't no one got time for your

(01:03:33):
bad take about having fromer Valdez back on the staff.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
Shet your bum ass up, man, there was a zero
percent chances coming back. We can't revisit history here, zero zero.
In fact, let's play the audio right now.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
I mean, I'd still say they'd be better with him, well,
of course, but.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
That's because not because he's been dynamic. It's because the
injury list has been long in lengths of here. So yesterday,
up three home runs, then he joins the player for
the Red Sox. Both benches empty, Jonathan, we have the audio.
We have the Boston version of the call, intermixed with
the Detroit version. Ross sitting figure out who's talking about?

(01:04:14):
Who comes down to this from er Valdez ejection yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
Trevor Storr is.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
Gonna get drilled. That's tired.

Speaker 13 (01:04:22):
After the back to back home runs, Valdez plunks him,
and some of the Red Sox coming out and some
of the Tigers coming out.

Speaker 16 (01:04:31):
And both benches are emptying. You can't get them out.
See you throw at them?

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
What a joke.

Speaker 13 (01:04:38):
Red Sox bullpen is about to enter this thing too,
as they race across the outfield. Grass Well, punches are
anything throwing? No, the one guy who caused its hiding
in the back. You give up three home runs back
to back shots, and then you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
Drill Trevor Story.

Speaker 16 (01:04:57):
Well, let's just hope he doesn't cross up his catcher.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
He's mad.

Speaker 6 (01:05:01):
Yeah, go back to last year we drilled his catcher
and or too, he's a former. Oh, they're going to
throw out Rober Valdez. He's going to be ejected from
the game for that hit by pitch. So Robber is
going to be ejected. Aj Hinch comes out to talk
to Dan I Sonia and there was no warnings issue,
there was nothing going on, and just to throw a

(01:05:22):
guy out for hitting one batter.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
They don't know if it was intentional.

Speaker 16 (01:05:26):
I mean that was as blatant as you've ever seen,
right first pitch, right between the numbers, no sign or
indication that there was any kind of aminosity, animosity, say.

Speaker 4 (01:05:38):
It, that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
I'm fired up now now I'm fired up?

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
All right, Detroit Hawk, Seriously, come on, you can't use
a player's pass as part of his future. Fromer did
it intentionally? Frommer's got screws loose Frommer's really good. But
when he loses it and he cracks like an egg,

(01:06:03):
that egg, that all that yoke comes out sports harp,
it just does.

Speaker 6 (01:06:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
In the start yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Fromber through sixty pitches, he threw one four seam fastball, Matt,
you want to guess which pitch it was the one
that he hit Trevor Store in the back.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Correct, that's a smoking gun, so.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
Destroit broadcaster, shit, yo, bumb ass up.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
May he did it on purpose? Shit o, bumm ass
up man for sure, Carlos.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
What's your What was Carlos cardlins on?

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
When I answer that, No, we don't want to hear
from Carlos.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
We'll hear from Carlos in about a half an hour. Come.
I mean, look, blind homer ism. You when you call
a broadcast, you try to find the positive on your side.
But that was even aj Hinch is like, I don't
like what I saw. He did it like I said,
he was where he was working, sinker Chaine curve, curve

(01:07:03):
the whole game, gives up the home runs and says
I'm gonna throw a ninety four at his back. Oh
what are you throwing them out for?

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Please?

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
Hey, you hit one guy, You hit one guy. Detroit.
We're tough in Detroit, that we are. I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
I guess you could say issue a warning and go
from there. But also I would say either way would
be no. Well, the reality is you're going off of history,
and the history says the guys does this all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
So well, No normally hits his catcher, that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
He actually hits his own teammate.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
That's different.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
All right, last call for shut your bump ass up.
Ain't nobody got time for that. Jesus seven one three
two one two five seven ninety Nick Allen Brayden, shoemake you.
We better memorize these names, Ross because they're playing a lot.
I can't call him Zach anymore. That's a fault on mind. Yeah,
come on, now, you gotta get the Nicks and our braidens.

(01:08:04):
You gotta get them all figured out. God, there's that
a lot of zacts. And we could put Peter Lambert
and just call start calling him Ace Lambert. There we go, Yeah,
Ace Lambeau. All right, you are we're gonna put something
in existence now. It's gonna make you mad at me. No,
I won't do it. Okay, if you're gonna make me man,
go ahead, sure one, shut yours up? Who's next to

(01:08:24):
get her? Shut?

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
Hit it one more time? Jonathan Man? Why would you
say that you are getting be mad at you? I
didn't know you're gonna say that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
I told you a warning.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
What the hell is wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Oh? Because I've got fifteen players out of sixteen more
of my friends terrible?

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
I told y'all, Yeah, you're the worst.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
God green to Frommer's credit, he did not throw a teammate.
Small step of progress. At least he hit one of
their guys. All right, Ross, tell the folks about centergenics.
We got some of the phone calls in seven one
three two one two five, seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
Again again today?

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
Anybody got time to this? I got a few more
to get to again seven one three two one two
five Sonati twenty fourteen college football playoff is ridiculous? Anybody
got time for that? That's a joke. Hey, nobody, get
older and get rid of championship games? Oh thanks very much?
How nice have you conference? I will say what I

(01:09:33):
have been continuing to say. Oh no, I will never
underestimate the greed of these presidents and ads and commissioners
who run these conferences and go for the university presidents.

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
I said presidences the first thing I said.

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
It's okay.

Speaker 14 (01:09:55):
I will say I've the two eighties i've met haven't
been a part of They fit that description very well.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Oh there you go. I'm just saying, shade is being
thrown and this is the slippery slope.

Speaker 5 (01:10:11):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (01:10:11):
I will also say, the people were right. I wanted
to playoff. I wanted four, and I said, like max twelve,
Max twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
And everybody doubling.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Slippery slope will be a twenty nine. I didn't think
it would happen this fast. At least, doubling it, you're
going to reduce the charm of it. You're gonna it's
an everybody gets invited tournament. We have the NCAA going
to seventy six teams in the college basketball. You're taking
something special there and you're just opening it up it now.
Look other sports can say, well, you open up the

(01:10:44):
baseball wild card playoffs. People like that. You open up
the playoffs. The NFL major League Baseball are different animals.
Nobody wants to see James Madison versus Tulane in a
thirteen versus sixteen matchup. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Ain't nobody get that?

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
Terrible? So they're gonna they're gonna have one round of buys.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Eight teams are gonna play, and then I'll put it
down to sixteen or no, no, that would put it down.
I don't even want to know the format.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
Eight teams are down to four, that'd be twenty. Any
nobody get sixteen teams down to eight? Oh my god,
what is this?

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
Sixteen teams would go down to eight and the first
eight would get a buye. They haven't figured it out yet.
I don't care. You know what they're doing. First, they
want to make sure they get their television deal set up,
whether it's ESPN or Team or Netflix or Amazon Prime.

(01:11:38):
Show me the money.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Don't pay the kids. What's out now? Oh, they're paying
the kids.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
Don't know about that. They're saying people, people who who
were still fighting against that. Make me laugh. Yeah, there,
every everybody's gonna get paid now, all right. A couple
of the things on shut your boss mass up. Ain't
nobody got time for that. So look opera Chingu has
kind of worn it because he does complain quite a
bit about calls ooh, NBA's most overrated list. It was

(01:12:11):
survey ninety one players. Is that a big enough sample
size to make alprin Chinga the most overrated player in
the NBA? Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
Or no?

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
You're not gonna like my answer? Please tell me I
don't care yess excuse me? Not ninety one eighty one players.
That's a little smaller twelve percent of the votes from
a total of eighty one players who took part in
the vote, most overrated player in the NBA alprin Chingun
twelve percent, Rudy Gobert eight point six, Tray Young eight
point six, Karl Anthony Town seven point four, and Pado
Ben Carol four point nine. Okay, there are fifteen roster

(01:12:47):
spots on a team, and there's thirty is four hundred
and fifty, so they basically would took twenty percent of
the league. If you're saying it Spinglam sample size, I'll
live with it. I mean it's big enough to either
it will be some margin for air, but I mean
somebody's got to be first too, But to march for
Eric could go the other way too. Maybe if you me, maybe,
if you asked everybody to be twenty percent or maybe

(01:13:08):
fast or maybe six percent. Who knows, Yeah, but yeah,
Alpa and shingun listed. According to the Athletics eighty one
player player poll, is the most overrated player in the NBA.
And I think a lot of it is is because
he does hunt for whistles and nobody likes that. Nobody does,
and I would hope that would be a huge part

(01:13:29):
of his repertoire for the remaining of his career, especially
if he stays in Houston. All right, anything else, we're
gonna get off for chest to your boys. We got
a couple minutes before we can get to Astros baseball.
Brian bogus Off. It's going to join us forred at
twelve o'clock.

Speaker 14 (01:13:41):
You know what, everybody that's driving right now, I want
you to check your signals. I've been really good lately
driving and just being you know, defensive. But I've seen
like five people today that kept their blinker on that
they're just driving with it for like five months.

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
That's been happening. Any nobody go's how just I know,
because you're trying to let them go. You're like, all right,
I'm let you in.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
You're trying to be a good driver trying to be courteous.
You're trying to let everybody, Yes, you're trying to let
them over, and then they just stand there. That's gonna
happen a lot more lately to me too.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
John. I don't know if there's on your phones, but
everybody does drive in check.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
Please. I gotta be honest with you. I have an automatic,
you know, the blinkers on thing, so that goes about
ten seconds. But I feel bad when it does happen
to me occasionally, so I would like to do a
premature I'm sorry from one of those people. I don't
mean to do it intentional, we all do it, but
just feels like it's happened a bunch.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
Okay, Yeah, it's okay, as long as you admit it's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
No, no, no, that's what I'm saying. I fully admit
that it'll say turn turn, signal off, and I'm.

Speaker 15 (01:14:44):
Like, oh god, I'm such a douche. All right, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
I don't have to do this. This is Look, Cardinals,
wasn't the end all be all guys, but it's just
it's a serious, serious injury. It's a guy that's been
playing two positions. You needed him to be out there
because certainly no disrespect to Nick Allen and certainly no
disrespect to other players. I don't know their names right now,

(01:15:19):
but I mean he's been good ops plus is one
twenty one and playing in short and third and a
leader on the on the on the floor, I was
gonna say on the field. Now, I gonna know more
about Brandon's shoemake.

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
Are gonna get healthy? You know it's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
If we're gonna be, You're gonna get Pania back, it'll
be Paradus and painting on the left side.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
And well, I'll be good.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
And by the way, easy like Pratis, you can feel
very comfortable. You're not living town.

Speaker 1 (01:15:46):
Yeah, go ahead and buy his jersey seven to one three.
Still don't do that at
