Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
This segment is brought to you by her Tato Barbecue,
some of the best barbecue you could ever have in
your life. Our buddy Brandon Hurtado and his family recipes.
They are spent on mexicu Mexican Barbecue. They have two
locations inside Global Life Field, so if you're going to
opening Day, come hungry, make sure to stop by Her
Title Barbecue there at Globalize Field. There's also a location
in Arlington that's not at the stadium. There's one in
(00:21):
Fort Worth, there's one in Mansfield, and there's one in
Dallas at the Farmers Market.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
The Dallas location of Her Title Barbecue is open at
the Farmers Market.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
But right now it's time for this. It's good listeners.
Here comes kt fun Tweets. We're the round now, let's
come around the sports.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Kt fun Tweets has all the sports yapp.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
And we're back, Baby, we are back. Dallas Mavericks huge
win last night. Anthony Davis playing played pretty good. I
gotta plague in tonight do it again. But uh, he's
not playing tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Okay, that was my first question because they when they
he said he was only playing for like thirty minutes
last night. I was so excited and then they said
that and I got deflated.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You didn't enjoy the twenty eight minutes that he played.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
It was pretty fun, but also did the play again
because I didn't even know Brooklyn nets. I didn't know
any of their starting five.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
So the reason for that, Yeah, you'd have to be
a big NBA fan to know those guys. I mean
a big NBA like Speedy Claxton. Now, no, Nick Clackson's
actually one of their players. Nick Claxton, Nick Claxton and
Cam Johnson are players. Those are legit NBA players that
are going to be a part of any team's rotation.
The rest of the guys, they got.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Some van horn. These are hard times.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Look I all I really wanted is to get to
the draft and get the best pick possible. You got
a one percent chance of getting the top pick, right,
Hell yeah, one point three percent, And so that one
point three percentage of hope is fueling my maps passion
right now. I don't know what the upside is other
than you respect the guys for saying, hey man, we
(02:07):
want to play, We're healthy enough, we're gonna play, and.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
They compete their asses off.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I just I feel like if they get to the playoffs,
are probably gonna run into a buzzsaw since they don't
have Kyrie. But you know, if if they start winning
some games, maybe you could get excited about it.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I don't know. I kind of just wanted all to
go away. Honestly. The Sons have won four games in
a row.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
They beat Milwaukee last night, so they're in a good
position because they, you know, the Maps have to have
a better record than Phoenix to get into the play
in So I still think even though Phoenix's schedule is tougher,
they've got the upper hand. Would have been interesting if
they had just tried to beat Brooklyn without Anthony Davis
(02:49):
and rolled him out tonight, But I think they wanted
to ease Anthony Davis into a game against an easy team,
and like, even if you just watch the way he played,
he wasn't going hard. No, he was not, And so
I don't know if he wouldn't going hard, I don't
know what to make of all that. I don't know
if he was just eas his way back into the
game or it was like, man, Brooklyn is so bad,
(03:10):
I can just casually beat them, so that was pretty
That was pretty interesting. We'll see how hard he plays
against Orlando. Orlando's had a really weird year.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
They were primed to do something big.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
They had injuries, then they got their guys back and
they still couldn't get it going. They had a really
nice win the other night they beat the Lake Lakers.
Are kind of fiddle farting around right now. They got
to get their mojo back. But yeah, but he's back.
Like they had their full line up last night? And
was it last night or the night before and lost
to Orlando because my guy Austin Reeves went one for
(03:42):
six from three.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It is it is.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's it's Elon and Austin Reeves on the Bengo card
them both early.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
What's a full lineup like for the Maps. I'm just
saying they had a full lineup in for so long.
So you said they had a full lineup, thought that
was weird.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Seven constitutes a full lineup at this point. They actually
had ten last Yeah. Wait, they've had a lot of
games that just had eight.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Okay, who the Sons have tonight?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Sons don't play until tomorrow night.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
And the Kings the King.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
We need to talk with Kings the World Phoenix. The
Kings are there too, which is a deep frog one
of those teams. Do we have the tiebreaker of the Kings?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
We do not, Son of a Bus, and we're further
behind the Kings than we.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Are the Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
What's close though, I mean, I guess conceivably, conceivably Sacramento
could go like two and eight or something.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Absolutely could. They're not very good.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I mean, well, they're fine. We're good now with Anthony Davis.
We're all right.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
So here's what's gonna happen, though, I mean, I wouldn't
be surprised if when we played Brooklyn next Monday night
that we've got Gafford or Lively in the lineup, maybe both.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I've never been more I feel like, uh, you know that,
I'm like trying not to break something.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Like I'm watching a d going.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Don't get hurt, but I thought you wanted him to
get hurt just well, I would love for them, But
when he's playing, I'm just like, when he's playing, I'm
just like, God, please don't get hurt.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And he's been healthy the last couple of years, but
I'm just so worried. That's why I was watching the
way he was playing last night. I was like, is
he not being aggressive because he's still hurt. It's pretty
admirable that he wants to be out there, But I
was I think I think he just I think he
was just easing into it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Uh, And I want to be respectful here.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I think that game probably felt to him very similar
to the five on five he was doing with the
legend right right right, you know, but who cares? But
but Cam Johnson and Nick Klaxoner players, Well.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
That doesn't matter though.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
The point is the guys who are actually playing are like,
oh my god, it feels good to get.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
A win here and there. Yeah, maybe maybe that Detroit
win was great Friday night.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And I'll tell you what you win tonight and the
Kings get blown out by the thunder that's gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
You're now the eight seed in the West. So no,
you're the nine. You're the nine.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
They're not gonna be they don't have a chance to
be the eight seed.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, that's over. So you gotta win two playing games.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
I mean but if you realize, though, if they get
to nine, they host a playing exactly home game.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Income for all the money we've lost.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
And by the way, I do think.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I do think they can if they win that playing
game and they end up playing a very up and
down Clippers team, I do think they can play the Thunder.
And then if the Thunders sustain a horrific injury, we're.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
The Thunder's daddy right now. Don't forget that.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Well, let me I'll say, you know, Ben said multiple
I'm not. I just swear to God, this is a
bad Carm'm not. I'm not wishing injury on anybody. But
I don't think the Thunder win a playoff series of
Shade goes down. No, that's like their entire team runs
through them. It's kind of like right now with the Knicks,
Like the Knicks are really good, but without Jalen brunts
and they don't know how to run a set. At
the end of a game, they just throw it to
(07:03):
Carl I mean there, it's when everything runs through one
guy and that one guy ain't there.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's tough. We're seeing it with the Mavericks with no
Kyrie throw it to Carl Man.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
This is the weirdest period of my Maverick fandom I
can ever remember. I mean, it's just such a weird
apocalyptic time, you know, but they're still playing. It's like goly,
this season is still going.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Anthony Davis said last night that this is all about
just you know, holding the fort downun ttil Kyrie comes
back next year, right, and he talked about it after
the game. Cool keeping the vibes a certain way until
Kyrie's back, or making a run.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
No, it's about keeping the vibes.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Oh okay, it's gonna be that. Okay, fine Rangers though,
talk about good vibes.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
We are.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
We're forty eight hours away from opening day, Oh my god?
Speaker 6 (07:57):
And where will we be? Boys live by those and
that is what it is.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
A really cool hotel with a badass like bar restaurant
scene that's right by Texas Live. Texas Live is right
by Global Life and so the uh where we're gonna
be doing our party that faces the West side. If
you don't have a compass or you don't know where
the sun sets, that faces Jerry World. So that's where
(08:22):
we're gonna be set up. And we're gonna be there Thursday,
like me and Ben are getting down there at noon
because there's gonna be a big Rollertown beer Works party.
That's the brewery that Ben and I are partners in,
and we're doing a big promotion with the station and
Rollertown and Live by Lows on Thursday. So Ben and
I are getting down there at Thursday. Brand New Funk
(08:43):
is gonna be there playing before and after our show.
We're doing our show live from there three to six,
well five thirty because there's Mavericks basketball starting at five thirty,
and then we're gonna stick around afterwards for the after party,
so come on through. In the best part about it,
we got fifty cases of the one thirty three, which
is our premium pillsner, and if you're twenty one and
(09:04):
over you can have one of.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Those years come drink some free beer with us. Very
much looking forward to it. The news today came out
that Evan Carter's not going to be in the opening
day roster. He's going to be the miners yell, and
I don't mind that because look what he did when
he initially came up was incredibly so hot, had an
incredible catch, He played great and he helped, you know,
(09:28):
in a huge way, helped the Rangers win the World Series.
Then he had the massive back injury missed last season
and you know, he still is a guy who really
can't hit lefties right, so he's kind of a platoon guy.
You know, they're stacked. I don't mind having him tucked
away developing his game in the miners. You don't have
(09:50):
to rush him up. He can take his time and
come back when he's ready. Yeah, I mean he will
be your future center fielder. And to keep that, that's
all still there. And he just his timing's all off
and all that stuff. Everyone's saying, he's just not just
not back and played enough since he got hurt last year.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Why don't they turned him into a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well, you don't have to do that yet. You can
wait till like the end, like Joey Gallop. Okay, Now,
the Rangers throughout to the old game. Today they had
at the ballpark. Jacob de Grom pitched. He went four
innings through seventy pitches, give him like three runs. But
whatever he's in the rotation, I think he will probably start.
He's not gonna be the Game two starter though, so
(10:25):
whatever he's in the rotation, clearly obviously paying him a
ton of money. Kumar Rocker today made the team, which
it had been discussed like I don't know if he's ready.
Then he pitched four innings and struck out eight guys
in seventy pitches.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Wow, he's good to go. So Rocker and Lighter are
in the rotation.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Those were those the back to back years first round picks.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yep, okay, the Vanderbilt guys. Yeah, they kind of shocked
the world when they took Kumar Rocker because everyone was.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Like, well, he hurt his arm, and then he came
back and he hurt his arm again. But here we go.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It's on.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
He pitched a little bit. He'll be on an innings
restriction this year. I mean, they're not gonna they're gonna
break his arm again on purpose, you know. But I
like Rocker and Lighter, I didn't see that happening. You
have all these year opening day starter Jacob B. Graham
and then Malley, Molly Malley, and you know, Rocker wouldn't
be here if John Gray didn't get you know, line
drive to the wrist.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
What's the other dude done? Bradfords, Dan Dunning's on waivers.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Yeah, yeah, they cut him there. I mean there way,
so no one's gonna pick him up. It's going to
pick him up. He'll go to Triple A and he
eat innings.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I mean, he was actually good their World Series run.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
They also signed a bad pick pictuer of Patrick Corbyn
to eat innings because they need that. Good teams need
that too, Like who's a cheap guy who can get it.
I'm pretty stoked about the Rangers. A lot of people
are picking the the Mariners to win. The Mariners don't
hit enough. A lot of people are picking the uh
uh maybe.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
The Astros, maybe, but it's their final year.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
If they do it, I think it's the Rangers, and
I think they I think I think this is twenty
This is the Boachie thing every other year.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
This is the year I'm calling right now.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
They're coming out of the American I don't think ever
won the World Series beating the World Series by the Braves.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
But you're by the Braves.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
The Braves are beating the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Nobody's beating the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I saw the thing where they were like the top
one hundred players in baseball and the Dodgers have nine
of them.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yep, but too many, too many personalities like that, the
egos get out of control, and that is gonna be
a fragmented clubhouse.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
By the end of it. I like it.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
My my baseball people are telling me that.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Braves over Dodgers, Rangers over Ready, Rangers.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Over what is he saying? Who they beat?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Who are they gonna beat? In the Alcs? Oh, Red Sox.
I'm asking you guys, playoff time. I'm gonna go Tigers.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yep. There you have it, t Grace. There it is
around the sports. Don't forget.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
We're having a big opening day party at the Live
by Low's Hotel. We'll be out there as early as noon.
We'll do a pregame tailgate session at the Live Low's Hotel.
That's the one that's right next to Texas Live and
Globe Live Field. And then if you don't have tickets
of the games, just come hang out with us. We'll
be broadcasting during the game, and then we're having a
big post game party, so beer, live music, good times.
(13:13):
Come hang out with us at the Live by Lows
are big. Ninety seven to one the Eagle Rangers Opening
Day party this Thursday. Coming up next. The only segment
of the day that we will not podcast it is
the today game and it's right here on ninety seven
point one.

They compete their asses off.

What's close though, I mean, I guess conceivably, conceivably Sacramento
could go like two and eight or something.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Absolutely could. They're not very good.

We're all right.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
You're now the eight seed in the West. So no,
you're the nine. You're the nine.

They're not gonna be they don't have a chance to

And then if the Thunders sustain a horrific injury, we're.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
The Thunder's daddy right now. Don't forget that.

Well, let me I'll say, you know, Ben said multiple

the end of a game, they just throw it to
(07:03):
Carl I mean there, it's when everything runs through one
guy and that one guy ain't there.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's tough. We're seeing it with the Mavericks with no
Kyrie throw it to Carl Man.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
This is the weirdest period of my Maverick fandom I
can ever remember. I mean, it's just such a weird
apocalyptic time, you know, but they're still playing. It's like goly,
this season is still going.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Anthony Davis said last night that this is all about
just you know, holding the fort downun ttil Kyrie comes
back next year, right, and he talked about it after
the game. Cool keeping the vibes a certain way until
Kyrie's back, or making a run.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
No, it's about keeping the vibes.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Oh okay, it's gonna be that. Okay, fine Rangers though,
talk about good vibes.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
We are.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
We're forty eight hours away from opening day, Oh my god?
Speaker 6 (07:57):
And where will we be? Boys live by those and
that is what it is.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
A really cool hotel with a badass like bar restaurant
scene that's right by Texas Live. Texas Live is right
by Global Life and so the uh where we're gonna
be doing our party that faces the West side. If
you don't have a compass or you don't know where
the sun sets, that faces Jerry World. So that's where
(08:22):
we're gonna be set up. And we're gonna be there Thursday,
like me and Ben are getting down there at noon
because there's gonna be a big Rollertown beer Works party.
That's the brewery that Ben and I are partners in,
and we're doing a big promotion with the station and
Rollertown and Live by Lows on Thursday. So Ben and
I are getting down there at Thursday. Brand New Funk
(08:43):
is gonna be there playing before and after our show.
We're doing our show live from there three to six,
well five thirty because there's Mavericks basketball starting at five thirty,
and then we're gonna stick around afterwards for the after party,
so come on through. In the best part about it,
we got fifty cases of the one thirty three, which
is our premium pillsner, and if you're twenty one and
(09:04):
over you can have one of.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Those years come drink some free beer with us. Very
much looking forward to it. The news today came out
that Evan Carter's not going to be in the opening
day roster. He's going to be the miners yell, and
I don't mind that because look what he did when
he initially came up was incredibly so hot, had an
incredible catch, He played great and he helped, you know,
(09:28):
in a huge way, helped the Rangers win the World Series.
Then he had the massive back injury missed last season
and you know, he still is a guy who really
can't hit lefties right, so he's kind of a platoon guy.
You know, they're stacked. I don't mind having him tucked
away developing his game in the miners. You don't have
(09:50):
to rush him up. He can take his time and
come back when he's ready. Yeah, I mean he will
be your future center fielder. And to keep that, that's
all still there. And he just his timing's all off
and all that stuff. Everyone's saying, he's just not just
not back and played enough since he got hurt last year.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Why don't they turned him into a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well, you don't have to do that yet. You can
wait till like the end, like Joey Gallop. Okay, Now,
the Rangers throughout to the old game. Today they had
at the ballpark. Jacob de Grom pitched. He went four
innings through seventy pitches, give him like three runs. But
whatever he's in the rotation, I think he will probably start.
He's not gonna be the Game two starter though, so
(10:25):
whatever he's in the rotation, clearly obviously paying him a
ton of money. Kumar Rocker today made the team, which
it had been discussed like I don't know if he's ready.
Then he pitched four innings and struck out eight guys
in seventy pitches.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Wow, he's good to go. So Rocker and Lighter are
in the rotation.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Those were those the back to back years first round picks.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yep, okay, the Vanderbilt guys. Yeah, they kind of shocked
the world when they took Kumar Rocker because everyone was.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Like, well, he hurt his arm, and then he came
back and he hurt his arm again. But here we go.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It's on.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
He pitched a little bit. He'll be on an innings
restriction this year. I mean, they're not gonna they're gonna
break his arm again on purpose, you know. But I
like Rocker and Lighter, I didn't see that happening. You
have all these year opening day starter Jacob B. Graham
and then Malley, Molly Malley, and you know, Rocker wouldn't
be here if John Gray didn't get you know, line
drive to the wrist.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
What's the other dude done? Bradfords, Dan Dunning's on waivers.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Yeah, yeah, they cut him there. I mean there way,
so no one's gonna pick him up. It's going to
pick him up. He'll go to Triple A and he
eat innings.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I mean, he was actually good their World Series run.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
They also signed a bad pick pictuer of Patrick Corbyn
to eat innings because they need that. Good teams need
that too, Like who's a cheap guy who can get it.
I'm pretty stoked about the Rangers. A lot of people
are picking the the Mariners to win. The Mariners don't
hit enough. A lot of people are picking the uh
uh maybe.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
The Astros, maybe, but it's their final year.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
If they do it, I think it's the Rangers, and
I think they I think I think this is twenty
This is the Boachie thing every other year.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
This is the year I'm calling right now.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
They're coming out of the American I don't think ever
won the World Series beating the World Series by the Braves.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
But you're by the Braves.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
The Braves are beating the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Nobody's beating the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I saw the thing where they were like the top
one hundred players in baseball and the Dodgers have nine
of them.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yep, but too many, too many personalities like that, the
egos get out of control, and that is gonna be
a fragmented clubhouse.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
By the end of it. I like it.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
My my baseball people are telling me that.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Braves over Dodgers, Rangers over Ready, Rangers.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Over what is he saying? Who they beat?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Who are they gonna beat? In the Alcs? Oh, Red Sox.
I'm asking you guys, playoff time. I'm gonna go Tigers.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yep. There you have it, t Grace. There it is
around the sports. Don't forget.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
We're having a big opening day party at the Live
by Low's Hotel. We'll be out there as early as noon.
We'll do a pregame tailgate session at the Live Low's Hotel.
That's the one that's right next to Texas Live and
Globe Live Field. And then if you don't have tickets
of the games, just come hang out with us. We'll
be broadcasting during the game, and then we're having a
big post game party, so beer, live music, good times.

Day party this Thursday. Coming up next. The only segment
