Playing their third game against the Yankees, the Astros miraculously pull out a 4-3 win in Yankee stadium yesterday evening. Hoping to avoid the sweep, the Astros closely finish out the series with a 1-2 standing with a must needed win at the end. Is this the kickstart the team needed?

Thank you for the complimenting. Manto driving two hours a day,
that's awesome, Thank you for listening. Yeah, two hours one way is
(02:15):
what he said. Is two hoursone way, right, Tyler. Yeah,
it's one hundred and eighty miles roundtrip for my day, that's a

Man good, that's called man.They got a new job. He's
liked, likes it and out thereand in a living Good for him.
I'm gonna tell you what I hearin our callers' voices today. Look at
one win. Yeah, look whatone win did. There's a little more.
And we always got enthusiasm. They'reexcited, but there's like a I
feel like there's a smile on theirvoice that makes sense, not in their
face, just their voice coming through, like they're jumping, like they got
a little red Bull in their system, shot in their veins. I like
(03:00):
it, or a little Min's tea, either one, you feel me do?
Yeah, there's no doubt. Yeahit should be should be Min's Tea.
Well, you know, you gotoptimism on the callers. And then
we got a tweet earlier from ChrisVaughan saying can we trade managers wall in
Detroit? That uh, that isuh, that's not gonna happen, but
(03:22):
I'm sure some people here right nowdid. Miss aj Hinch would probably subscribe
to that. But Joe's only thirtysix games in So let's let's see how
this plays out. Yeah, theygot back in the win, Colum,
It's all that matters, baby,Roger, good morning, Good morning guys.
Yeah, that was a nice win. You shouldly. I think we
might have started a nice little friendlyin house competition with Jordon and Big John
(03:46):
Singleton because I saw them look atJordon's faith like okay, okay, big
boy, I see what you got. So it looks like there might be
a little back and forth with you, and that'd be a good result for
us any time that happens, right, So hey, I'm all for it.
Man. Uh yeah, it's golfday, fellas. I'm about to
leave the shop early, so boardup your windows and put your helmets on
because I'm about to hit the golfcourse. You guys have a great weekend.
(04:11):
Uh you guys shows, It showsgreat, the greatest show on Earth.
And Triple Lee is a man.Appreciate you. Roger hit him straight
man, throw shake hands on,yeah, do it and you know what,
Hey, he hit it inside thethree foot circle. No gimmes,
but that's as close to you.You know what, No three putts either,
because I'm thinking the same thing Ihad one wanted to go play this
(04:31):
afternoon, got invited to blue jackwith the buddy, but can't because I
got a meeting. So I'm goingto try to go hit balls before my
meeting. So I'm with you.I like it. Go do it and
have a blast and enjoy your weekend. Brother, Thank you, solid ball
striker. Good for big John Singleton. Yeah, and four bombs so far
this season. He destroyed that baseball. Yeah, that ball was tanked.
(04:55):
Man. We like to call ita tape measure job. I mean,
think about how hard he hit itand judges went what was his four to
thirty four to forty three judges,No, for seventy three singletons. I
know what judge, I don't knowwhat it was. Fourth it was upper
four thirties or low four forties,and Judges went thirty to forty feet by
his It's crazy, Yeah, itwas. Both of them were smoked.
(05:16):
Well the ball would the hell?I know how they measure it were it's
supposed to land. But hitting thefacing of the third deck in Yankee Stadium,
that's a that's a pretty good shot. And when Jordan's like uh wow,
and his eyes got big, youknow, as Rogers said, this
like man, that ball was upthere and Jordan didn't miss his The ball
was smoked into the second deck.You sure did. There was those big
(05:40):
boys were smoking it on both teamsover the weekend. Yeah. Ear during
the week this week that serious Jordan'scame off the bat at Uh. I
think one hundred and fourteen miles anhour fifteen went a buck fifteen. Yeah,
that's what Singleton's was a buck fifteen. Uh. So you know he's
put some put together some pretty goodat bats here since jose A Bray was
(06:00):
going down to West Palm Beach andjust an update on jose A Bray,
they don't have a timetable on hisreturn. So well, I imagine right
now they're not in a hurry andhe doesn't have to be no disrespect,
but if a Bray you came back, how can you take him out of
the lineup? Meaning Singleton, youcan't. You can't do it. You
(06:21):
don't want to create that Singleton's rakeand you're gonna let there's no urgency.
I wouldn't think maybe on a Brave'spart, I don't think the teams are.
They want to make sure and Ibelieve Dana Brown said he was lifted
too many weights. Yeah, that'stoo strong, which means what he lost
flexibility And there's a difference between strengthand explosiveness there. They're just is I
(06:42):
know a lot of guys that arestrong aren't explosive, and there are no
guys that are explosive that are strong. But it's a different it's a different
type. And if that is thecase that he got too strong, then
you know because a couple of weeksbefore we were talking, he said he
still had his bat speed during battingpractice. Well it's different than live then
live live ninety five ninety eight,yeah, slider, and then coming back
(07:02):
and throwing one ninety five mile onour fastball in different spot parts of the
plate. So whatever takes to getflexible and get back. But right now,
even if for Bray you walked intothe dugout, he can you can't.
You can't can't play him, youcan't start him. Singleton's earned that
job for now. Yeah, isn'tthat crazy. A week before he gets
sent down to West Palm Beach,Dana Brown says, oh, yeah,
(07:25):
we see the bat speed still therein VP crushing balls. No concern he's
gonna come out of it and thenliterally a week later, he says,
you listen too many weights. Well, here's the difference. Bat speed is
explosiveness and getting through the hitting zone. Yeah, strength during batting practice,
that's where power comes in. Youdon't have to have explosiveness through the hitting
(07:46):
zone during batting practice because the ball'scoming into what seventy five or eighty if
you have depending Yeah, and soyou're there's no bat speed. It's not
like you're trying to catch up withninety eight rising. It's it's you know
where the pitch is coming, soyou can barrel it up. So there
is a difference. So Bray,you may be stronger, but not explosive.
(08:07):
So going down there, try toget some explosiveness and flexibility. But
yeah, batting practice doesn't equal batspeed. What equals batspeed is is when
the real boys are up there throwingit in live, live games, right,
And that's what he's going to gotry to develop. Right now,
you can't take Singleton at lineup,No, you cannot. And he's earned
he's earned playing time. Sure hascontinue to put good at bats together for
(08:28):
John Singlems and hit his fourth homerun of the season last night or yesterday
afternoon, I should say, upin the Bronx as the Astros one four
to three. All right, let'stalk about Christian Javier. He makes his
return and it's a welcome site forthe Strows on Sportsblock seven ninety
