Speaker 1: We have a Mallory segment in the second hour as well,
1:03
Speaker 1: and we'll let you know what's going on the rest
1:06
Speaker 1: of the week and perhaps into next week. The Texas
1:13
Speaker 1: Rangers are trailing Arizona two to nothing, and let me
1:17
Speaker 1: see if I can update that real quick. Let me uh,
1:23
Speaker 1: let me do that because we may we may have
1:27
Speaker 1: updated now. I don't want NFL stuff. I don't want
1:31
Speaker 1: any NFL stuff. Leave me alone with that. Let's see
1:38
Speaker 1: if we can get scores here, scores scores Rangers. I mean,
1:43
Speaker 1: of course they don't. They don't give the We have
1:48
Speaker 1: to get to see all because apparently Rangers Diamondbacks are
1:51
Speaker 1: out important bottom of the fifth inning to nothing, Arizona
1:55
Speaker 1: is leading. The reason that's important is the Rangers are
1:58
Speaker 1: within a game and a half of the wild Card
2:00
Speaker 1: three and a half of the Astros. Jack lighters on
2:05
Speaker 1: the mound for Texas this afternoon. Last night, we got
2:09
Speaker 1: a glimpse into what the heck is going on with
2:12
Speaker 1: the Astros. They lose to the Yankees seven to one.
2:15
Speaker 1: Framber Valdez, who is always run hot, gave up a
2:20
Speaker 1: Grand Slam home run to Trent Grisham. He didn't like
2:25
Speaker 1: apparently the pitch that was called, and so on the
2:30
Speaker 1: next pitch he threw a different pitch than Salazar was
2:37
Speaker 1: expecting and hit him right in the chest. What happened,
2:44
Speaker 1: is says Valdez, we just got crossed up. We went
2:50
Speaker 1: down to the dugout. I excuse myself, I said, I'm sorry.
2:54
Speaker 1: I take full responsibility, Valdez said, no, it was not intentional.
3:00
Speaker 1: It obviously was the Astros locker room blowing up, and
3:08
Speaker 1: we'll see if they can make it limping into the
3:12
Speaker 1: end of the season. They host the Yankees again this evening.
3:19
Speaker 1: We'll have that game at I think, do you know
3:22
Speaker 1: Matt is that game on its six forty Astros Baseball

3:32
Speaker 1: for Houston or do we have a special show tonight? Okay,

Speaker 1: Astros beautiful, you people enjoy it. The Red Sox put
3:42
Speaker 1: Ricky Sensation Roman Anthony on the injured list with oblique tightness.
3:49
Speaker 1: He's one of our best offensive players, said Cora. We
3:53
Speaker 1: have to move on. We've been through this before. The
3:57
Speaker 1: Earl Campbell, Tyler Rose Nash. Player of the Week is
4:02
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech quarterback Haines King. King rushed for one hundred
4:08
Speaker 1: and fifty six yards on nineteen carries, which was a
4:11
Speaker 1: new career high, including three touchdown runs. He also tried
4:18
Speaker 1: to pass. Bless his heart, Haines King, of course, the
4:21
Speaker 1: former Aggie quarterback out of Longview, and Haines King is
4:29
Speaker 1: the reason people are giving Georgia Tech a shot this year.
4:34
Speaker 1: They beat Colorado in the opener last week. Texas Tech
4:38
Speaker 1: and Arkansas have signed a three game football agreement, beginning

5:27
Speaker 1: Yukon men's basketball coach Dan Hurley considered stepping down last
5:33
Speaker 1: year because of the emotional toll of trying to win
5:36
Speaker 1: three straight championships. Hurley has a new book out and
5:44
Speaker 1: was in quote preliminary talks with Fox Sports. I've thought
5:49
Speaker 1: about leaving, he said, taking a gap year resigning as
5:53
Speaker 1: head coach of the Huskies. I lost control emotionally at
5:58
Speaker 1: various points. Have come in here someday sad and defeated.
6:04
Speaker 1: Then I went through his self lacerating what ifs. He decided,
6:10
Speaker 1: of course, to stay. John Calipari was in his old
6:14
Speaker 1: stomping grounds in Memphis today no Yesterday to introduce hoops
6:23

9:34
Speaker 5: Darlington Race winner Chase Risco was on and he talks
9:36
Speaker 5: about the expectations driving for Jill Gibbs Racing.
9:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the expectation was to go and you know,
9:44
Speaker 6: contend for wins and you know, hopefully that for a championship.
9:47
Speaker 6: You know, I would say it definitely was harder than
9:50
Speaker 6: I anticipated. The first called ten weeks and I think
9:56
Speaker 6: to just change, I say, JGR was off right, but
9:59
Speaker 6: Belle was able to go win three in a row there,
10:01
Speaker 6: and I think I was learning so much about ourselves
10:05
Speaker 6: and I was learning the race cars and just how
10:07
Speaker 6: different they drove that it definitely took a little more
10:10
Speaker 6: time than I expected. But you know, I felt like
10:13
Speaker 6: tonight is definitely what we're capable of, you know, kind
10:15
Speaker 6: of week in and week out, if we just do
10:17
Speaker 6: our job and perform, I mean, the cars are just
10:19
Speaker 6: so good and then you know, the execution was there,
10:23
Speaker 6: and just if we do that, typically we're in the
10:25
Speaker 6: mix to win, you know, not necessarily dominated like we
10:28
Speaker 6: did tonight, but you know, typically if we just do
10:30
Speaker 6: our jobs right, then we at least should be in
10:33
Speaker 6: the mix. And you know, at that point you have
10:35
Speaker 6: to capitalize on it. You know, that's something that we
10:36
Speaker 6: were at a pretty big deficit at and to add
10:39
Speaker 6: seven that's a huge deal, you know, going forward. So yeah,
10:42
Speaker 6: I was way more excited about that than probably locking
10:45
Speaker 6: into the round of twelve. Yeah, it's definitely nice for
10:48
Speaker 6: us to start a playoffs off, you know, in the
10:50
Speaker 6: way that we did it, you know, and not just winning,
10:53
Speaker 6: but I felt like we dominated and that's really cool
10:56
Speaker 6: to do. So yeah, it definitely is a great way
10:58
Speaker 6: for us to start, and hopefully we can describe this
11:00
Speaker 6: This is the final app.
11:02
Speaker 7: Moms and dads, do you wish you could know where

12:11
Speaker 1: We had a show yesterday, right Matt, Yeah, we're on
12:14
Speaker 1: the air. Beautiful. The commercials got played wonderful. Okay, then again,
12:22
Speaker 1: truly my thanks to Jared and Jason for filling in yesterday.
12:30
Speaker 1: This was yesterday as well. While I was out, k
12:33
Speaker 1: C Concepcion visited with some of the members of the media.
12:41
Speaker 1: Of course, he had a nice game last Saturday at Kyle,
12:46
Speaker 1: including a long punt return in the win over UTSA.
12:56
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look while I'm listening to this to see
13:00
Speaker 1: what the ticket prices are for Saturday. I've not gone
13:03
Speaker 1: online and checked the secondary market. The Utah State game,
13:07
Speaker 1: by the way, is eleven forty five, and you know,
13:11
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've been full before. We will see
13:14
Speaker 1: what the prices are for that game. By the way,
13:19
Speaker 1: as I'm looking, I believe we do not have any
13:23
Speaker 1: Thursday or Friday SEC games this week. They are all
13:27
Speaker 1: on Saturday, including starting at eleven am San Jose, San
13:35
Speaker 1: Jose State at Texas, the two point thirty game Austin
13:41
Speaker 1: p at Georgia, Ole miss at Kentucky. This game, I
13:48
Speaker 1: think is going to be a dandy Kansas at Missouri.
13:51
Speaker 1: I think you circle that game. Those teams, those states,
13:56
Speaker 1: the people in those states hate each other. It goes
14:01
Speaker 1: back to the Civil War and they haven't made up
14:04
Speaker 1: since and they haven't played. Unfortunately, that was one of
14:08
Speaker 1: the casualties with the Big twelve sec. They have begun
14:14
Speaker 1: to play in basketball again, which is awesome. These teams
14:19
Speaker 1: have played let me let me get this right, eleven,
14:24
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty times. Okay, they have not played
14:28
Speaker 1: since twenty eleven. It's a lot like the A and
14:32
Speaker 1: M Texas game. Right, they have not played since twenty eleven.
14:36
Speaker 1: They are playing Saturday afternoon at Columbia. That game is
14:42
Speaker 1: on the deuce. That's a game I'm going to watch.
14:46
Speaker 1: Kansas is playing really well. Missouri's is light favorite, so
14:52
Speaker 1: that there's that game. We know Oklahoma and Michigan are playing.
15:00
Speaker 1: But I believe Arizona State Mississippi State, Yeah, I don't.
15:06
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Vanderbilt Virginia Tech. Uh, I believe
15:13
Speaker 1: Tech is a slight favorite in that game. Okay. I
15:17
Speaker 1: like what I saw from Virginia Tech this last week
15:22
Speaker 1: against South Carolina. I think they're pretty decent. So there
15:29
Speaker 1: there are a couple of games to watch this weekend. Okay,
15:35
Speaker 1: let's hear from Casey Concepcion.
15:40
Speaker 8: Honestly, the crowd was crazy. Definitely definitely up on that
15:44
Speaker 8: partment turn. Like whenever whenever I'm out on the field,
15:48
Speaker 8: like I can like I can usually like tune out
15:50
Speaker 8: the crowd and like and like not really hear nothing.
15:52
Speaker 8: But when I had when I have broke, I was
15:56
Speaker 8: just I was hearing the whole crowd. I'm just like, dang,
15:59
Speaker 8: like I've never seen it like this, But I would
16:02
Speaker 8: say that, I would say my my performance.
16:05
Speaker 3: In the game. I kind of wanted it.
16:07
Speaker 8: I kind of wanted to do a little bit more,
16:10
Speaker 8: but you know, I'm a save it for these SEC
16:13
Speaker 8: games and give you guys to show the most.
16:15
Speaker 3: Definitely walk us through.
16:17
Speaker 9: The hunt return What is she to see when the
16:19
Speaker 9: ball was in the air and you know it was gone?
16:21
Speaker 8: So you know we've been UH me and Trooper Taylor
16:24
Speaker 8: and the uh re uh and the and the returners,
16:27
Speaker 8: We've been we've been working on this literally the whole summer.
16:32
Speaker 8: So I had I had saw that he had kind
16:35
Speaker 8: of out kicked his coverage and I and I had
16:38
Speaker 8: to come up on line. So whenever whenever I had
16:42
Speaker 8: caught the ball, I had saw a a h a
16:46
Speaker 8: open scene and Trooper he already tells me to get
16:49
Speaker 8: vertical and then the rest of you. So I had
16:53
Speaker 8: I had saw the little gap, I got vertical, and
16:56
Speaker 8: then I had peaked outside.
16:58
Speaker 3: I saw that. I saw that. I saw that it
17:00
Speaker 3: wasn't nobody out there.
17:00
Speaker 8: I was a little tired though, but you know, but
17:02
Speaker 8: you know, I just I stepped my foot of the
17:04
Speaker 8: ground and then the rest is history. Yes, yes, man, Man,
17:12
Speaker 8: I think that made so much for that block, man.
17:13
Speaker 3: For for for all those blocks.
17:15
Speaker 8: But I mean, like the the the effort that that
17:21
Speaker 8: he showed on that play was just truly amazing.
17:24
Speaker 3: You know, I can't think of enough of that, man,
17:26
Speaker 3: cac Just what was the only turn game they experienced
17:28
Speaker 3: like before you like you know, from the.
17:30
Speaker 8: Pre games even like running out to Power and like, yeah,
17:33
Speaker 8: I mean, as I said, man, it was amazing, man.
17:36
Speaker 8: From the from from the pregame meal, the night well
17:41
Speaker 8: the night before the the the meals that we had
17:45
Speaker 8: was amazing, the movie we watched like the day before
17:50
Speaker 8: the gaming For me, like I was never I was
17:53
Speaker 8: never really used to any of that. And then and
17:56
Speaker 8: then uh just just waking up hopping on that bus,
17:59
Speaker 8: hopping off the bus, seeing seeing seeing uh everybody about
18:03
Speaker 8: there and then finally able to get inside that stadium.
18:08
Speaker 8: It was just a blessing man just to be here,
18:10
Speaker 8: be around the agonation twelve man and and just and
18:14
Speaker 8: just able to perform for you guys.
18:17
Speaker 10: Obviously everybody was just wild by all the big plays, right,
18:21
Speaker 10: but one of the things that things stood up stood
18:23
Speaker 10: out was all the receivers down field block. Yeah, why
18:27
Speaker 10: is that such an apparently such an emphasis.
18:31
Speaker 8: I mean, this was just this was just something that
18:36
Speaker 8: that that uh.
18:38
Speaker 3: That uh I was taught as a kid. If you
18:40
Speaker 3: don't block, you don't get the ball.
18:42
Speaker 8: So so so you know, Ashton Busy rio me, you
18:47
Speaker 8: feel me. We all we all want to see each
18:50
Speaker 8: other win.
18:51
Speaker 3: You feel me.
18:51
Speaker 8: So so if so, if we can go out there
18:55
Speaker 8: and put our line or our our body up on
18:59
Speaker 8: the line for are our brothers to get us out
19:01
Speaker 8: of the endzone, we gonna do whatever we can to
19:04
Speaker 8: to get one of our brothers out of the end zone.
19:05
Speaker 3: And that goes for the running backs hoso gets to
19:07
Speaker 3: that end.
19:08
Speaker 11: Do you how much d how much time you'll have
19:10
Speaker 11: dedicated to practice spending on you know, blocking as receivers
19:13
Speaker 11: your bubble games.
19:14
Speaker 8: We usually start we usually start Indie with like uh,
19:19
Speaker 8: blocking drills, you know, leveraging a run.
19:22
Speaker 3: You feel me.
19:25
Speaker 8: Keeping our leverage, driving our feet, keeping our hands inside.
19:29
Speaker 3: So so yeah, they've taken away.
19:32
Speaker 11: A lot of kind of you know, cut blocking and
19:34
Speaker 11: stuff receivers to how how much of it is based
19:37
Speaker 11: on pure strength in these in these days with lup walking.
19:40
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean honestly, I honestly blocking blocking is
19:45
Speaker 8: just effort really, so I mean you just like you
19:48
Speaker 8: just going out there and wanting to block for your
19:52
Speaker 8: brother and wanting to see your brother gets out of.

23:18
Speaker 3: Yeah.
23:18
Speaker 8: So I actually grew up watching my mother cook. I
23:23
Speaker 8: just I just used to sit there and watch the
23:26
Speaker 8: cook and also my father for me when I was
23:29
Speaker 8: a little bit younger. Younger though, but yeah, grew up
23:32
Speaker 8: watching my mother cook. I used to go inside and
23:34
Speaker 8: help her. You for me, I used to see the
23:36
Speaker 8: little seasons that you're using. And I don't install all
23:39
Speaker 8: the recipes now, so uh yeah, Well, my favorite thing
23:45
Speaker 8: to make is yams and mac and cheese, and then
23:47
Speaker 8: I mixed them in a little bit that were there
23:48
Speaker 8: the best combo in the nation.
23:49
Speaker 3: I promise you it's.
23:51
Speaker 10: The best, even better than you.
23:52
Speaker 9: And uh, Mario, maybe maybe maybe.
23:55
Speaker 1: That's all you got time for to day.
23:56
Speaker 2: Thanks guys.
23:57
Speaker 1: All right, you guys, I like that case. It's conceptio
24:01
Speaker 1: and he's a chef. I love that cooking for his
24:04
Speaker 1: teammates and it sounds good. You know, it's that time
24:09
Speaker 1: of day. Kind of makes you hungry when he's when
24:11
Speaker 1: he's talking about it. But that's pretty cool. So he's
24:16
Speaker 1: using a little of that in I OW money to
24:20
Speaker 1: feed his teammates, buy some food, cook, cook a little bit.
24:24
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Scott Clandenen will be with us. I'm watching
24:31
Speaker 1: US Open, I think quarterfinals. Yeah, uh Anisimova is won
24:38
Speaker 1: the first set six to four over Swaatek, but she
24:41
Speaker 1: is trailing to love in the second set in the
24:44
Speaker 1: best of three on its Center is on court tonight.
24:48
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody expects him to lose. One of
24:53
Speaker 1: the semi finals is going to be Carlos Alcarez and
24:56
Speaker 1: the Joker. Djokovic needed four sets last night to take
25:02
Speaker 1: down Taylor Fritz. Taylor Fritz is now in ten or
25:08
Speaker 1: ozero and eleven against Djokovic lifetime. But you know what
25:14
Speaker 1: a lot of people are the I don't think Djokovic
25:20
Speaker 1: can beat Carlos aal Karez, but hey, don't underestimate a
25:27
Speaker 1: guy who has twenty three, twenty four majors something like that.
25:33
Speaker 1: He's thirty eight years old. His body has betrayed him
25:39
Speaker 1: and a couple of the other majors this year, and
25:46
Speaker 1: you can see him kind of the other thing you
25:49
Speaker 1: want when I watched him last night, and what's impressive,
25:53
Speaker 1: and this comes with age and experience, is the guy
25:57
Speaker 1: picks his spots when he wants to do battle, right.
26:00
Speaker 1: I mean, in terms of maximum effort he is. He
26:04
Speaker 1: is picking his spots. He knows when the big points
26:07
Speaker 1: are during the match, he knows what he has to
26:11
Speaker 1: do when he's you know, when his serve is on.
26:16
Speaker 1: It's it's fun to watch Fritz, on the other hand,
26:21
Speaker 1: frustrated and you know, when you're oh and nine against
26:25
Speaker 1: a guy roh and ten, you can understand that. But
26:31
Speaker 1: I mean, Djokovic is unbelievable. And what he is still
26:37
Speaker 1: doing at thirty eight, that's you know, I'd like to
26:43
Speaker 1: say it's Brady like. Brady certainly didn't run like Djokovic runs, right.
26:51
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong. He's staying in the
26:54
Speaker 1: pocket and he's getting hit by big strong men and
26:58
Speaker 1: making places by and he was very fit, and he
27:03
Speaker 1: had to do the same thing to play into his forties, right,
27:06
Speaker 1: he had to. So they're very similar from that standpoint,
27:11
Speaker 1: because if you're still doing it at that age, that's
27:18
Speaker 1: very impressive. It's very impressive. I'm kind of afraid to
27:24
Speaker 1: check to see what the Rangers are doing right now.
27:30
Speaker 1: Every time I want out, they pulled me back in.
27:35
Speaker 1: They had won six in a row until last night,
27:38
Speaker 1: they had won nine of eleven. But they are losing
27:45
Speaker 1: two to nothing. It is the top of the seventh inning. No,
27:53
Speaker 1: it's the yes, it's the top of the seventh inning.
27:57
Speaker 1: The Rangers with one out and one on in the
28:04
Speaker 1: top of the seventh inning, with Ezekiel Duran at the plate.
28:08
Speaker 1: And by the way, they lost another player day before yesterday,
28:12
Speaker 1: a Doli Scarcio was hitting and playing really well out
28:16
Speaker 1: with a strained quad. Don't know how long they were
28:21
Speaker 1: thinking about putting him on the ten day IL, And
28:28
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens during the streak. The Rangers have
28:32
Speaker 1: been very good at coming from behind, including on Monday
28:37
Speaker 1: evening when they look dead in the water, and scored
28:39
Speaker 1: two in the ninth inning and one in the tent
28:43
Speaker 1: So we're not giving up quite yet. Let me see
28:46
Speaker 1: who pitched. Let me see that's Arizona. Zach Gallon six innings,
28:58
Speaker 1: four hits, one walk, five k's. I mean it's just
29:05
Speaker 1: I will say, I'm looking at the win probability right now,
29:09
Speaker 1: eighty two and a half percent for the deep bas
29:12
Speaker 1: But hey, we'll see, not gonna not going to give
29:17
Speaker 1: up quite yet. Hey Galleria, gentlemen, this is this is

32:13
Speaker 1: I hate it. Yeah, I hate it for all you
32:16
Speaker 1: Astros fans, for the clubhouse, for having such a head
32:21
Speaker 1: case in the middle clubhouse.
32:24
Speaker 17: Uh.
32:24
Speaker 1: You know, Seattle's crashing and burning too.
32:27
Speaker 9: Yeah.
32:28
Speaker 1: Uh, so everyone's crashing and burning in the West. Everybody's
32:32
Speaker 1: going to be limping into the playoffs, whoever it is.
32:35
Speaker 1: Except for.
32:37
Speaker 11: No.
32:38
Speaker 1: No, I didn't say the A's Rays.
32:40
Speaker 9: No, the best record in baseball, uh since the All.
32:45
Speaker 1: Star Break, even being swept by the Rangers. Yes, I
32:49
Speaker 1: didn't know that. But but look out for my Tampa
32:52
Speaker 1: Bay Rays. Every time they're written off. They're they're only
32:56
Speaker 1: three out right now and they're on a heater. Uh.
33:00
Speaker 1: And they may be of the teams that we've mentioned
33:02
Speaker 1: so far, the best of that group.
33:04
Speaker 9: Well, you never leave the table when you're on a.
33:05
Speaker 1: Heater, exactly, do not leave the table. So you know,
33:13
Speaker 1: we know Framber's always been a head case. He's always
33:15
Speaker 1: been a head case.
33:16
Speaker 9: Okay, so.
33:20
Speaker 1: Were you watching last night?
33:21
Speaker 9: Yes?
33:22
Speaker 1: I was, okay, so I turned I turned over for
33:27
Speaker 1: the Grand Slam and then I flipped. You know, I'm
33:30
Speaker 1: watching tennis and I'm flipping around, and so I missed
33:34
Speaker 1: the next pitch.
33:36
Speaker 9: No, you missed before the Grand Slam?
33:38
Speaker 1: Oh? Is that what it was?
33:40
Speaker 9: Yes? He told him to step off and not throw
33:43
Speaker 9: the pitch.
33:43
Speaker 1: Oh the catcher.
33:44
Speaker 9: The catcher said don't throw. Yeah, because he called a
33:49
Speaker 9: curveball and I shook him off and wanted to throw
33:52
Speaker 9: that meatball slider that ended three hundred and ninety eight
33:56
Speaker 9: feet and there's Salasar Salasar, Yeah, yes, yeah, so that
34:01
Speaker 9: started it. Well I missed that, Yes, I did miss Yes,
34:04
Speaker 9: because I honestly I saw the bases reloaded and I said, hey.
34:08
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna wait right and that boom. Yes, yeah,
34:13
Speaker 1: so that's what started everything.
34:16
Speaker 9: No, what precipitates all of this is he doesn't want
34:21
Speaker 9: ds to catching.
34:25
Speaker 1: He didn't want Salazar to.
34:26
Speaker 9: Get No, he doesn't want Das to catch it, okay,
34:30
Speaker 9: and that's why Salazar was catching him, okay, because yeah, ear, yeah,
34:37
Speaker 9: Das is not the one he wants catching him ever.
34:40
Speaker 1: Okay. So what happened with that deal? Do you know
34:43
Speaker 1: when did that start?
34:44
Speaker 9: That started last year? Okay when he went to him
34:51
Speaker 9: and Verlander did not want Das catching them?
34:54
Speaker 1: Okay?
34:55
Speaker 9: Was it two years ago?
34:56
Speaker 1: Well, it had to be two years two years.
34:58
Speaker 9: Ago, okay, So he doesn't want Das catching him, okay.
35:04
Speaker 9: So the Astros weren't having ds catch him. And when
35:11
Speaker 9: the concussion took out Keratini ds caudy, okay, they caught
35:20
Speaker 9: seven innings of shutout baseball, okay. But Framber didn't want
35:25
Speaker 9: him catching even after that, even after that, okay, So
35:30
Speaker 9: he put his foot down to get Salazar out there.
35:34
Speaker 9: And Salazar may be a lifer, quadruple A player, sometimes
35:39
Speaker 9: at Triple A, sometimes up at the majors, but he's
35:44
Speaker 9: trying to call a game that's gonna get you a win.
35:47
Speaker 1: Yeah. So at the time, at the time, to be clear,
35:51
Speaker 1: it's to it was two to nothing, two to nothing, right, yes,
35:54
Speaker 1: to nothing.
35:55
Speaker 9: And he wouldn't throw the pitch at Salazar wanted him
35:57
Speaker 9: to throw he threw his pitch, and he said after
36:01
Speaker 9: the game, I threw my pitch. I didn't want to
36:04
Speaker 9: throw the pitch he wanted me to throw. Okay. And
36:08
Speaker 9: then after the home run, that's when he hit Salazar
36:12
Speaker 9: on purpose, because last week Craig Kimball hit DS in
36:18
Speaker 9: the wrist when he crossed him up. And the whole
36:21
Speaker 9: time Kimber was looking at him concerned that I've just
36:25
Speaker 9: hit my catcher and I've hurt him. Okay, Frammer didn't.
36:30
Speaker 1: Do anything that was accidental.
36:32
Speaker 9: Framer turned around and wouldn't even look at him.
36:36
Speaker 1: I didn't see I didn't see any of that.
36:38
Speaker 9: And Salazar took a couple of steps before he got
36:42
Speaker 9: the ball back from the umpire and threw it and
36:45
Speaker 9: then got back in his position. He handled it professionally,
36:51
Speaker 9: and your big money free agent to be did not.
36:55
Speaker 1: So, so let me ask you this. The guys obviously
36:58
Speaker 1: got got great stuff. He's obviously a head case. They've
37:02
Speaker 1: always managed mostly Yes, what does his Saldonado manage to true?
37:08
Speaker 1: What is this? What does this do uh for? For
37:12
Speaker 1: free agency? If anything does it? Does it hurt his chances?
37:16
Speaker 1: First of all? Without last night? In your opinion, where
37:20
Speaker 1: the astro is going to resign him. No, they don't.
37:23
Speaker 1: They didn't. You don't.
37:25
Speaker 9: No, okay, not not because of how anyway, He's.
37:30
Speaker 1: Just the money.
37:31
Speaker 9: It's just the money.
37:32
Speaker 1: Okay. So what does this do for him going forward?
37:37
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody's going to pay right, everybody needs pitching.
37:42
Speaker 1: But our and we talked about this. When your agent
37:45
Speaker 1: has to release his statement about what happened, and it
37:48
Speaker 1: was a horrible statement, you're going that's not good.
37:51
Speaker 9: No, it's not good. Yeah, because he's trying to cover
37:54
Speaker 9: himself with the agent because Astros made a statement, salas
37:59
Speaker 9: Are made statement, fromer made a statement. Yes, then you
38:03
Speaker 9: just need to be quiet. You just need to let
38:06
Speaker 9: it go. It's already out.
38:07
Speaker 1: But the agent can't do that. Well no, because he
38:10
Speaker 1: has to get as much money as he can to
38:12
Speaker 1: free agency.
38:13
Speaker 9: Yes, he has to protect him to try to get
38:15
Speaker 9: as much money. Now everybody thinks they can fix anybody. Yes,
38:22
Speaker 9: that is coaching. Yes, we see it now more than
38:24
Speaker 9: ever in the transfer portal and college athletics yep, okay,
38:28
Speaker 9: which is free agent every day of the week, all
38:30
Speaker 9: the time. Everybody can fix everybody. But Framburg probably did
38:38
Speaker 9: not help himself at places where your clubhouse ain't gonna
38:44
Speaker 9: put up with that. And I mean, why would the
38:47
Speaker 9: why would the Philadelphia Phillies want to bring in a
38:51
Speaker 9: guy that's gonna throw at his catcher when he doesn't like.
38:56
Speaker 14: That.
38:56
Speaker 9: You got mad at me when I shook off a
38:59
Speaker 9: call and gave up a home run, and I can't
39:05
Speaker 9: take responsibility for that. Yeah, there are certain places that
39:08
Speaker 9: it's not going to play. Do you think the Dodgers
39:12
Speaker 9: want any part of that?
39:13
Speaker 3: No?
39:13
Speaker 1: No, you would think look any any like winning atmosphere
39:19
Speaker 1: teams for the most part, right.
39:21
Speaker 9: Which which the Astros are except for Frambervelt, No doubt.
39:25
Speaker 9: That's why they're still able to be the Astros.
39:29
Speaker 1: Well, I mean there's still you have a couple of
39:32
Speaker 1: guys around.
39:33
Speaker 9: Well, now that's what.
39:33
Speaker 1: I just I just started to say. Do you think
39:38
Speaker 1: they've already had a conversation with because they're trying to win, right,
39:43
Speaker 1: They're they're they're like three games ahead. They have to
39:48
Speaker 1: continue to win, right, and they they can't put up
39:51
Speaker 1: with this bs no while this is going on, and
39:54
Speaker 1: they can't put up with one of their top two
39:56
Speaker 1: or three starters, uh uh doing crap like this when
40:00
Speaker 1: they're tried to win a division.
40:01
Speaker 9: No, No, your three guys in Korea, Jordan Alvarez and
40:09
Speaker 9: jose L Tuve, if they haven't.
40:12
Speaker 1: All ready, they could speak his language exactly. There doesn't
40:17
Speaker 1: have to be an interpreter in the middle of that.
40:19
Speaker 9: No, there doesn't. So and the fact that Diaz is
40:24
Speaker 9: well liked, that Salazar did not do anything active, active
40:29
Speaker 9: professionally after he got wrong. You don't you know, you're
40:35
Speaker 9: this is for this next game, when all the focus
40:40
Speaker 9: is going to be how he is in the dugout.
40:43
Speaker 9: That's going to be a lot more important than what
40:45
Speaker 9: his agent said today. Hal Framber acts in the dugout
40:49
Speaker 9: when Salazar's in the dugout, when uh Diaz is catching,
40:55
Speaker 9: and when he's around other players, because you know other
40:59
Speaker 9: stars aren't gonna put up with this. Why did Luis
41:02
Speaker 9: Garcia work as hard as he did to get back
41:04
Speaker 9: to this? And then you're gonna, you know, you're gonna
41:08
Speaker 9: treat the guy that's been catching me at Triple A
41:11
Speaker 9: for for my rehabs and all that, You're gonna treat
41:14
Speaker 9: him like it was. It was. It was a very
41:17
Speaker 9: bad look. But the people that need to talk to
41:20
Speaker 9: him do speak his language, and there's not gonna be
41:23
Speaker 9: any missing interpretation, no correct, correct, This is not verlander.
41:30
Speaker 9: Even though Framber doesn't want to speak English, Framber understands it.
41:34
Speaker 1: Five of course he does.
41:36
Speaker 9: Okay, but you're not gonna have it. This would be
41:39
Speaker 9: This would be Bregmant. Bregman, who taught himself Spanish, would
41:42
Speaker 9: be doing the exact same thing. The Astros still have
41:45
Speaker 9: enough leadership on this team to go to him and
41:48
Speaker 9: say this ain't gonna work, because even if you're not
41:52
Speaker 9: here next year because you go get your money, we're
41:55
Speaker 9: still trying to win here.
41:57
Speaker 1: And now, all right, we'll take a break, we'll come
41:59
Speaker 1: back the Astros report, we'll see what they say about it.

46:04
Speaker 1: No, not yet, not yet, we're doing I'm.
46:08
Speaker 9: At the top.
46:09
Speaker 1: I'm not at the top. So that's not at the
46:14
Speaker 1: Top's a lie. You're not at the top. Just what
46:17
Speaker 1: I said.
46:17
Speaker 9: I know I'm tied for fourth.
46:20
Speaker 1: That's not at the top. That's as close you're not
46:25
Speaker 1: used to being.
46:26
Speaker 9: That's as close as Fritz was to being in the
46:28
Speaker 9: City Fire.
46:29
Speaker 1: It's as close as you've been I think in the
46:31
Speaker 1: history of this contest after one week, no after any week,
46:37
Speaker 1: I think this is as close as you've ever been.
46:39
Speaker 1: So enjoy it this week. But we're not ready for
46:42
Speaker 1: that yet. Let's talk some football. First. I saw you, so,
46:48
Speaker 1: I know you were at the game on Saturday.
46:51
Speaker 9: Yes, thoughts, I like, I wanted to see that kind
47:00
Speaker 9: of offense. Chip, I told you that last Wednesday. I
47:04
Speaker 9: wanted to see proficiency in your offense. Answered my questions.
47:09
Speaker 9: Somebody's gonna gang up against you in the box. You
47:12
Speaker 9: have to be proficient enough to throw it and and
47:16
Speaker 9: get these weapons the ball, and I did that. Running
47:21
Speaker 9: the football not so good until after the seventy five
47:27
Speaker 9: yard run. There's a little coaching discussion, little coaching going
47:30
Speaker 9: on on the sideline.
47:31
Speaker 1: You're talking about run defense, run, not run. Offense not run.
47:37
Speaker 9: You've got to be able to take what they give you.
47:40
Speaker 9: If Utah State shows up this week and plays too
47:43
Speaker 9: deep zone the whole time and rushes three and and
47:48
Speaker 9: your offensive line is blowing people off the ball. I
47:51
Speaker 9: want you to run it. I want you to I
47:53
Speaker 9: want you to get two hundred and twenty five yards
47:56
Speaker 9: rushing the football.
47:58
Speaker 1: Look, I don't care how many people you States putting
48:00
Speaker 1: into line of scrimmage because they're not very good.
48:03
Speaker 9: So if you can't run, you're not You're saying UTSA
48:05
Speaker 9: beat Utah State.
48:06
Speaker 1: Yes, that's that was the consensus from my writers on Monday,
48:11
Speaker 1: that they would beat them fairly easily.
48:12
Speaker 9: Yes, I agree.
48:14
Speaker 1: Uh So, if you're not running the football against Utah State,
48:17
Speaker 1: then next week we got issues.
48:19
Speaker 9: No, we don't. It's got a bye week. We're gonna go.
48:21
Speaker 9: We're gonna win the bye week.
48:23
Speaker 1: We got issues. They need to run the football, they do,
48:27
Speaker 1: uh and and against the Utah States of the world.
48:29
Speaker 1: They need to run the football.
48:31
Speaker 9: But they also need to they need to have their
48:33
Speaker 9: offense have success.
48:35
Speaker 1: I'm not arguing that, but they have to run the football.
48:38
Speaker 1: Their offense is not going to have success if they
48:41
Speaker 1: can't consistently run the football this season period. So they
48:46
Speaker 1: have to run the football, and they've got to run
48:48
Speaker 1: it against the team that's not very good. And if
48:51
Speaker 1: they can't do it, I will say again, then all
48:54
Speaker 1: of the questions I had going into the season will
48:58
Speaker 1: remain with the offensive.
49:00
Speaker 9: Line unless say, passbockeral well.
49:03
Speaker 1: They have pass blocked. Okay, pass blocking really has not
49:07
Speaker 1: been a huge issue for a couple of years. Even
49:09
Speaker 1: last year. I thought they passed blocked pretty well. Yes,
49:12
Speaker 1: but they did not run block. On many occasions, they
49:15
Speaker 1: were very.
49:16
Speaker 9: How carriages is consistent? How many carries do the running
49:20
Speaker 9: backs get?
49:20
Speaker 1: I get they didn't run the football. I understand that.
49:24
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, how many carries
49:27
Speaker 1: does he need this dam football on Saturday morning?
49:30
Speaker 9: How many times does he need to carry it? Mind
49:33
Speaker 9: the back? Yeah, between all of them, No, between your
49:36
Speaker 9: two primary guys.
49:37
Speaker 1: I want to see him carry it twenty five.
49:39
Speaker 9: Times between the two of them, between the two.
49:42
Speaker 1: Of them, and then you throw it thirty five times
49:44
Speaker 1: or twenty five times or whatever, because I hope those
49:48
Speaker 1: two aren't in the game by the end of the
49:50
Speaker 1: third quarter. So twenty five times in three quarters. Yeah,
49:54
Speaker 1: I want to see him run the football.
49:56
Speaker 9: I want thirty.
49:57
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go thirty and let's see if they average
50:01
Speaker 1: between four and five yards. It carried right.
50:03
Speaker 9: That's what I'm saying. I want two and twenty five
50:05
Speaker 9: yards and I want the guys you put in in
50:07
Speaker 9: the fourth quarter like you did this last week, to
50:10
Speaker 9: have some success when they're out there offensively.
50:13
Speaker 1: It's in for you what you would hope so because
50:15
Speaker 1: important again, you have a big talent gap, not only
50:21
Speaker 1: in the first team, but you should have big really
50:23
Speaker 1: even bigger talent talent gaps right in the second and
50:27
Speaker 1: third team players for program like this. Yeah, you just should.
50:30
Speaker 9: I mean, it depends on if your other team is
50:33
Speaker 9: still playing their starters, which if you beat them up,
50:35
Speaker 9: they're not going to be out.
50:36
Speaker 1: There, or if you're way ahead, it doesn't matter if
50:40
Speaker 1: they're still playing their starters, because they're not going to
50:42
Speaker 1: have the same zeal they're going to run on the
50:43
Speaker 1: football field with because they'll be beaten down by this.
50:46
Speaker 9: Yes, but defending the run, I thought after the long
50:53
Speaker 9: touchdown run, they play the way of fence they were
50:55
Speaker 9: supposed to play.
50:55
Speaker 1: Arizona's still leading two to nothing going into the bottom
50:58
Speaker 1: of the eighth thing, why you look at it on there?
51:02
Speaker 9: Why not you don't got the game on?
51:04
Speaker 1: No, we didn't. We don't have that here.
51:07
Speaker 9: But you can watch the Astros last night on TBS.
51:10
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that I was watching on the
51:11
Speaker 1: Astros network. I didn't know you could watch on TV. Yes,
51:15
Speaker 1: I would have been watching on TV as I probably
51:17
Speaker 1: would have watched more of the game. Actually, who are
51:20
Speaker 1: those announcers? By the way, Astros announcers?
51:26
Speaker 9: You couldn't the Astros weren't broadcasting last night.
51:28
Speaker 1: I watched him. I watched him on the Astros network.
51:32
Speaker 1: Don't tell me I have direct TV. You don't. So
51:34
Speaker 1: I watched them.
51:35
Speaker 9: I have Foupoh, I watched them all the time.
51:38
Speaker 1: Okay, but you didn't watch them on the Astros network
51:40
Speaker 1: last night.
51:41
Speaker 9: I didn't.
51:41
Speaker 1: I did, so. I know you don't want to answer
51:44
Speaker 1: my question. But who are the Astros announcers?
51:48
Speaker 9: Uh? Todd Kallis and Blum?
51:51
Speaker 1: Who's who's Blum?
51:53
Speaker 9: Jeff Blum?
51:53
Speaker 1: Okay, he's not very good played for the Astro.
51:56
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, no, I know the name hit the hit
51:59
Speaker 9: the home run for they had him.
52:00
Speaker 1: By the way, I saw a deal that astrol fans
52:03
Speaker 1: are unhappy because Bregman has been coming in and like
52:06
Speaker 1: doing a few Craig color I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
52:12
Speaker 9: Uh, bagwell, yes.
52:15
Speaker 1: So has he just come in when he wants to
52:17
Speaker 1: or do a series all the whole series, yes, like
52:21
Speaker 1: radio or TV.
52:23
Speaker 9: Uh, he has done.
52:25
Speaker 1: They trade out?
52:25
Speaker 9: No, they don't trade out this last time when everybody
52:28
Speaker 9: got upset with me.
52:29
Speaker 1: So I haven't heard it. Why are they upset with him?
52:31
Speaker 1: Is he not good? Or is he not? Is he
52:33
Speaker 1: too critical?
52:34
Speaker 10: Is he?
52:34
Speaker 9: No, he's not. He's not really good, just not very good.
52:37
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, all right, I was just I just saw
52:40
Speaker 1: a little headlined last week. You know, I don't really
52:42
Speaker 1: pay that much attention. There was some twitter, okay, yes
52:46
Speaker 1: there was. Okay, back back to the game Saturday after.
52:50
Speaker 9: But after the long run when when I with my
52:53
Speaker 9: own eyes saw the interaction between the coaches and then
52:58
Speaker 9: between the coaches and the players, they played defense how
53:01
Speaker 9: they were supposed to play.
53:02
Speaker 1: They did, I mean the last you know, the every
53:06
Speaker 1: series after the first one of the second half. Yes, however,
53:12
Speaker 1: that's that's the that's the other issue, because we have
53:16
Speaker 1: we have seen this team play really good run defense
53:20
Speaker 1: and give up runs like that last year and it
53:24
Speaker 1: cost him right big plays and runs misfitting and Alco
53:29
Speaker 1: said after the game, he goes I told my team,
53:32
Speaker 1: I said, every game is four to five plays, and
53:34
Speaker 1: you don't know which four to five plays those are.
53:36
Speaker 1: That's why he's, you know, asking for this consistency and saying, look, quote,
53:42
Speaker 1: misfitting a run will get you beat. Right.
53:45
Speaker 9: Uh, he does not. He does not shine on about it.
53:48
Speaker 1: No, No, he never and I'm not saying he did.
53:50
Speaker 1: I mean he's he always hits it head on. But
53:52
Speaker 1: he's right. I mean, that's the point. He's right. You
53:55
Speaker 1: can't have these kind of mistakes in the games that
53:58
Speaker 1: they're going to play this year.
54:00
Speaker 9: No, you just can't, because Notre Dame. If car is
54:04
Speaker 9: better in two weeks or three weeks whatever.
54:07
Speaker 1: Or if they give him the ball.
54:08
Speaker 9: No, I'm just saying, if he is better, it's still
54:11
Speaker 9: the running back that will win or lose the game
54:13
Speaker 9: against the Aggies. For Notre Dame, if they run the
54:16
Speaker 9: football like they did last year against A and M,
54:20
Speaker 9: and you're keeping a pretty good looking A and M
54:23
Speaker 9: offense off the field, that gives Notre Dame the chance
54:26
Speaker 9: to win. You cannot play run defense against Notre Dame
54:30
Speaker 9: like you did against Texas State. I mean, are you
54:33
Speaker 9: all right?
54:34
Speaker 1: By the way, those two teams play this week. That
54:36
Speaker 1: should be very interesting. Yeah, we're not talking about Yeah,
54:39
Speaker 1: we're not talking about those yet. David Gardner's Jewelers is
