Speaker 1: Family owned and operated since nineteen seventy two.
0:06
Speaker 2: Stepcheck Service Center twenty two hundred longmyre just down from
0:09
Speaker 2: the post office in College Station and.
0:12
Speaker 3: Your host Chip Howard the Writer's Round Table.
0:15
Speaker 1: Welcome here.
0:16
Speaker 2: Glad to have you with us on this Monday edition
0:19
Speaker 2: of the program. This portion of the show is brought
0:21
Speaker 2: to you by Radiant Dentistry. Coming up, we're going to
0:25
Speaker 2: hear from a couple of Aggie football players. We've got
0:29
Speaker 2: some postgame Ranger news. Also, we have got our final
0:36
Speaker 2: SEC preview and today it's the Longhorns. Tomorrow it's the Predictions.
0:47
Speaker 2: So I've got that little look forward to. And in
0:51
Speaker 2: the second hour, Rusty and Cease will join me for
0:56
Speaker 2: the Writer's Roundtablestros didn't like losing series at home to Seattle,
1:06
Speaker 2: Oakland and Anaheim, so they fired their manager and their
1:14
Speaker 2: general manager. Today, Joe Espata, according to an original report
1:19
Speaker 2: by USA Today, has been informed that he will not
1:24
Speaker 2: get a new contract. Was given the option to finish
1:28
Speaker 2: out the season or leave. He chose to finish out
1:32
Speaker 2: the season. It was announced before then that Dana Brown,
1:37
Speaker 2: the GM had been fired, transferred to Charles Cook, Davin,
1:43
Speaker 2: Dicky Connor, Huff and senior advisor Jeff Bagwell. So apparently
1:49
Speaker 2: it takes four people to replace Brown. Owner and chairman
1:55
Speaker 2: Jim Crane will oversee baseball operations through the transition period.
2:02
Speaker 1: Brown's been there for four years.
2:04
Speaker 2: They released the requisite statements, but they haven't done well lately.
2:11
Speaker 2: As for Espata, he has made a couple of in
2:16
Speaker 2: game blunders recently, and like I said, the team has
2:21
Speaker 2: lost three home series, but they're still tied for first
2:27
Speaker 2: place in the wild wacky Al West. The Astros gave
2:33
Speaker 2: up a six run lead at home yesterday and lost
2:41
Speaker 2: to Oakland, which has one of the worst records in
2:45
Speaker 2: baseball at fifty one to eighty. But heck, the Rangers
2:49
Speaker 2: have been doing that for a while. But they've won
2:53
Speaker 2: three home series in a row.
2:55
Speaker 1: Can you believe it? Huh?
2:57
Speaker 2: Can you believe it? They beat the angel five to
3:00
Speaker 2: three yesterday. The Rangers and the Astros are both sixty
3:06
Speaker 2: five and sixty six. And Seattle, which has lost a
3:15
Speaker 2: couple of games lately and given up like forty runs
3:20
Speaker 2: in the process. I kid you not, there's still only
3:24
Speaker 2: are they three games out? There's still only three games
3:28
Speaker 2: out of the West. I mean, this is some crazy stuff.
3:35
Speaker 1: Now.
3:36
Speaker 2: I don't know why, but Kumar Rocker is starting tonight
3:42
Speaker 2: in Chicago against the White Sox.
3:45
Speaker 1: Again.
3:46
Speaker 2: I've got no clue why they keep running him out there,
3:50
Speaker 2: but they do, and he will get the start this evening.
3:56
Speaker 1: He is four and ten with an ERA of four
4:02
Speaker 1: four six.
4:03
Speaker 2: Jose Or Kweedie, who used to pitch in Houston, is
4:07
Speaker 2: pitching for the White Sox tonight in Chicagi. The Aggie
4:15
Speaker 2: football team took yesterday off practice Today will practice tomorrow
4:24
Speaker 2: as well, and after practice coach Mike Elko will be
4:31
Speaker 2: made available to the team and also defensive coordinator Lyle Hemphill.
4:42
Speaker 2: Actually Lyle Hemphill will be made available to the team tomorrow.
4:47
Speaker 2: The Cleveland Browns have wave tied end DAYK one.
4:52
Speaker 1: Right, Why do we care about that?
4:55
Speaker 2: Because he's apparently going to go from being way the
5:00
Speaker 2: Browns to playing for LSU. Believed to be the first
5:05
Speaker 2: player to have an agreement to return to play in
5:08
Speaker 2: college after signing for an NFL team as an undrafted
5:13
Speaker 2: free agent. Now, the SEC could put a stop to
5:18
Speaker 2: this if they wanted to, but they don't want to,
5:23
Speaker 2: and Ryan Day has already said, hey, if they're doing it.
5:29
Speaker 1: We're going to do it.
5:32
Speaker 2: The executive director of ole Missus Nil Collective says that
5:38
Speaker 2: FBI agents searched the Rebels football office for recording devices
5:45
Speaker 2: after Lane Kiffen left for LSU. Walker Jones told a
5:52
Speaker 2: podcast that FBI officials search the offices for bugs at
5:58
Speaker 2: the Manning Center once kiff less. He said, we knew
6:03
Speaker 2: kind of what was in Baton Rouge. We knew how
6:07
Speaker 2: they operated. I remember getting on my knees and looking
6:11
Speaker 2: underneath the desk, checking for something like, is there a
6:16
Speaker 2: bug in my office?
6:18
Speaker 1: When I ask why, and when I was asked why.
6:21
Speaker 2: Jones said, trust me, you don't know this guy, meaning Kiffin,
6:28
Speaker 2: like I do. Meanwhile, Tennessee coach Josh Hipel has named
6:34
Speaker 2: two true freshman face On Brandon as the vault starting quarterback.
6:40
Speaker 2: A six to four pocket passer out of Greensboro, North Carolina,
6:45
Speaker 2: signed last December spent the off season competing with George McIntyre.
6:53
Speaker 2: Brendan will make his college debut against Furman a week
6:58
Speaker 2: from Saturday. The Vaults are ranked twentieth in the AP Poll.
7:05
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine Ers owner Jed York has pleaded
7:10
Speaker 2: no contest to a pair of mis demeanor charges after
7:16
Speaker 2: being arrested in Ohio on suspicion of engaging prostitution.
7:24
Speaker 1: I'm not making this up.
7:26
Speaker 2: According to the Columbiana, Ohio court records, police arrested York
7:33
Speaker 2: Sunday with a charge description of engaging engaging in prostitution.
7:39
Speaker 2: It was then amended to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct after
7:44
Speaker 2: York pleted no contest to that, and an additional misdemeanor
7:50
Speaker 2: charge of possessing criminal tools. The circumstance of the arrest
7:58
Speaker 2: is unclear. He was arrested at nine thirty Sunday morning
8:03
Speaker 2: at the Wheat Hill mobile home community on the south
8:09
Speaker 2: end of town. I can't make any of this up,
8:17
Speaker 2: court records say. The local prosecutor filed the plea deal
8:22
Speaker 2: this morning, as York pleaded no contest, paid eleven hundred
8:27
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars in fines, was sentenced to one day
8:33
Speaker 2: in jail for each charge, with a day already considered served.
8:40
Speaker 2: The NFL said in the statement, the league is aware
8:45
Speaker 2: of the matter, which will be reviewed under the Personal
8:50
Speaker 2: Conduct Policy.
8:55
Speaker 1: I don't know.
8:57
Speaker 2: I don't know, and yesterday may or may not have
9:01
Speaker 2: been the final live Golf tournament in Indianapolis. Forbes estimates
9:10
Speaker 2: that John rob earned one hundred and seven million dollars
9:15
Speaker 2: last year, making him the seventh highest paid athlete in
9:20
Speaker 2: the world now.
9:25
Speaker 1: Taylor Gooch earned over.
9:27
Speaker 2: Nine million in five and a half seasons on the
9:32
Speaker 2: PGA Tour. At Live Indy, he surpassed sixty eight million
9:39
Speaker 2: dollars even though he has only one individual win in
9:45
Speaker 2: the last three years. It doesn't include a thirty million
9:51
Speaker 2: dollar signing bonus. And you know, you wonder why the
9:55
Speaker 2: Saudi said. I think we've bled enough money even for
10:00
Speaker 2: the Saudis. I don't think we're giving you any more money.
10:06
Speaker 2: Greg Norman, who was kind of the founder and the
10:09
Speaker 2: face of Live Golf, told Alan Shipnak, I'm sad, disappointed, gutted,
10:16
Speaker 2: to be honest, I hate to see it whither away.
10:20
Speaker 1: I would rather just see it in.
10:24
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the FedEx Cup of the PGA is down to
10:29
Speaker 2: its last thirty golfers. They will start round one Thursday
10:37
Speaker 2: at East Lake in Atlanta and the winner will get
10:45
Speaker 2: a ten million dollar bonus. So we'll see how all
10:51
Speaker 2: this plays out.
10:52
Speaker 1: Okay, um, We're going to take a break.

Speaker 2: But these robots, they were blazing down the track and
15:47
Speaker 2: I don't even know where that was it had to

Speaker 6: stuff like that.
18:41
Speaker 2: What a fair What's a fair expectation I'm going to
18:44
Speaker 2: expect from you and the.
18:46
Speaker 10: Production once this year?
18:47
Speaker 6: Uh, I probably just i'm'a do anything to help us win. Uh.
18:51
Speaker 9: Whatever I need to do to help us win, i'm'a
18:52

18:57
Speaker 9: that's what I wanna do. Type of player I am
18:59
Speaker 9: now us so far?
19:00
Speaker 10: Is there anything that this offense key do you that
19:02
Speaker 10: maybe they couldn't do last year? Uh?
19:07
Speaker 9: I wouldn't say nothing we couldn't do last year, But
19:08
Speaker 9: I mean, I f I feel like we got a
19:10
Speaker 9: lot more guys that's matured and that could make plays.
19:13
Speaker 9: I mean, you put the ball in anybody hands and
19:15
Speaker 9: it could be an explosive play just like that. So
19:18
Speaker 9: I mean just feel like we got more depth, uh
19:20
Speaker 9: in the rooms, and I feel like we do a
19:23
Speaker 9: lot more with a bunch of different people.
19:24
Speaker 6: So if we've.
19:25
Speaker 8: Had over the last couple of years, and just how
19:28
Speaker 8: you felt physically and the body changes, cause it felt be.
19:30
Speaker 10: Like a homework Fela been kind of clicked for you
19:32
Speaker 10: and you kind of felt like, hey, like this is
19:34
Speaker 10: what I've been trying to get that all the time.
19:36
Speaker 7: Uh.
19:36
Speaker 9: Definitely in the spring, I mean first day out there,
19:39
Speaker 9: I mean I was out there feeling good. Uh by
19:42
Speaker 9: probably running out there running in the warm up. I'm
19:44
Speaker 9: like the best of my bodies felt since I've been there.
19:46
Speaker 9: So just just overall just being able to feel good.
19:48
Speaker 9: I mean, you feel good, you play good. So they
19:50
Speaker 9: being able to my body feeling good.
19:52
Speaker 8: If you thought when getting attached a couple of weeks ago,
19:54
Speaker 8: they put it on social media and anything, you feel
19:56
Speaker 8: like that was a highlight of the the fault here
19:59
Speaker 8: for you. So do you feel like that maybe was
20:01
Speaker 8: a uh a culmination.
20:02
Speaker 10: Of the work you put it in the offseason?
20:05
Speaker 6: Uh?
20:06
Speaker 9: Nah, cause the night before I had the exact same play,
20:08
Speaker 9: exact same situation, and I ended up dropping it.
20:11
Speaker 6: So I mean we just ran it back and I
20:13
Speaker 6: made the play that time.
20:15
Speaker 10: I think maybe the biggest adjusting between the injuries and.
20:20
Speaker 13: Smoke, coming from a small school and changing positions was
20:23
Speaker 13: was that kind of hard for the first couple of years.
20:24
Speaker 10: And do you feel like now it's just kind of
20:26
Speaker 10: old places to come together for you?
20:28
Speaker 9: Uh, the changing position stuff, it wouldn't have hard. I'm
20:30
Speaker 9: an athlete, I can I feel like I can do that.
20:32
Speaker 9: It was just overall just understand where my body could
20:34
Speaker 9: take and uh where it came. I mean, as you
20:36
Speaker 9: get older, as you grow, as your body mature, Uh,
20:39
Speaker 9: you can't put too much stuff on your body. You
20:41
Speaker 9: can't do too much, extra, too much, a little and
20:43
Speaker 9: stuff like that. So just overall learning where my body
20:45
Speaker 9: could take and stuff.
20:46
Speaker 6: That's your cause probably you uh has a long resly changed.
20:50

22:05
Speaker 6: I mean you got asking by the room.
22:06
Speaker 9: I mean he's a Blazer, he gonna he and he
22:08
Speaker 9: could run routes and stuff like that. Then you gotta
22:10
Speaker 9: be bodies aid, I mean he shifty four and seven.

22:27
Speaker 6: I mean I feel like I probably myself.
22:28
Speaker 9: On being able to do everything A little bit of big,
22:30
Speaker 9: big kind of receiver fast shift and stuff like that.
22:33
Speaker 6: I pretty much wanted to be able to do everything cause.
22:35
Speaker 10: You put on those two exture counts.
22:36
Speaker 8: Have you found is there any adjustice period in any
22:39
Speaker 8: parts of your gamers or things that can kind of
22:41
Speaker 8: discover I can do that now.
22:42
Speaker 10: And then guy couldn't done did it before?
22:45
Speaker 9: Uh, I wasn't as big as uh on like a
22:48
Speaker 9: leaning on guys and stuff like that. I mean I
22:49
Speaker 9: was always strong so I could do it. But now
22:51
Speaker 9: I feel like I put my body in between people
22:53
Speaker 9: may catch it that I probably couldn't make a year ago.
22:55
Speaker 6: Are you to venture saying, uh, yeah, a little bit.
22:58
Speaker 10: If you're if you were you're which one do you
23:00
Speaker 10: think you be?
23:04
Speaker 9: An Avenger? I would be say thor a little bit
23:09
Speaker 9: of thor or. I mean he's strong, got a lot
23:14
Speaker 9: of power, but like that's what that's what I am,
23:18
Speaker 9: like that type of player.
23:18
Speaker 6: I am special teams.
23:22
Speaker 13: Uh, what would you think you'd bring the big off
23:24
Speaker 13: this heid your last year seria?
23:26
Speaker 6: If you think he will bring ben?
23:29
Speaker 10: Uh?
23:30
Speaker 9: If I get if I get enough of opportunities, I
23:33
Speaker 9: mean feel like I could reenact some of the stuff
23:36
Speaker 9: I did last year even more.
23:38
Speaker 6: What would a successful twenty sixth season look like for
23:41
Speaker 6: Terry winning the national championship, win AU championship.
23:46
Speaker 2: That would be a successful season when in the SEC
23:49
Speaker 2: and the Natty. Uh, and that's Terry Bussey as thor
23:57
Speaker 2: So there you go like that. I've seen all of
24:04
Speaker 2: the outrage that the end of college football is near.
24:08
Speaker 2: Now that LSU is apparently going to sign somebody that
24:12
Speaker 2: was released from an NFL team, I've got a couple
24:18
Speaker 2: of questions. My question is do you want anybody that's
24:21
Speaker 2: not good enough to play for the Cleveland Browns?
24:25
Speaker 1: That's my main question.
24:27
Speaker 2: Do you really want someone that got cut by the
24:29
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns? Can that player help you get to where
24:37
Speaker 2: you want to go? Lane Kiffin thinks so. So we've
24:45
Speaker 2: seen this end of college football stuff before. We saw
24:48
Speaker 2: this in basketball, right when Auburn signed the guy from
24:55
Speaker 2: the NBA and the that wasn't allowed, that was stopped.
25:04
Speaker 2: I don't know what the courts are going to say
25:07
Speaker 2: about this. The the SEC could put a stop to it.
25:12
Speaker 2: They could say, you know, it's against our by laws
25:15
Speaker 2: and we're willing to go to court to defend that.
25:21
Speaker 2: But so far they've been silent. Greg Sankie's been silent.
25:25
Speaker 2: Ryan Day has not been silent at Ohio. Stay, he's going, Hey,
25:30
Speaker 2: if that's the rule, we're gonna use it. That's what
25:34
Speaker 2: every coach says in basketball, baseball, football, Hey.
25:39
Speaker 1: If it's legal, we're going to do it.
25:42
Speaker 2: Not look okay, they can do that, but our program's
25:48
Speaker 2: not doing that. How many times have I said the
25:53
Speaker 2: presidents of all of these universities are silent with all
25:57
Speaker 2: of this stuff.
25:59
Speaker 1: They are not in.
26:03
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from one going, Hey, that might
26:06
Speaker 2: be legal, but that's not what we're about. We're not
26:09
Speaker 2: doing that. We're not adding an NFL player to our
26:13
Speaker 2: roster this year, but they're not doing that.
26:18
Speaker 1: There.
26:20
Speaker 2: Apparently football's above their pay grade. Now we're not doing that.
26:26
Speaker 1: That would be easy enough.
26:27
Speaker 2: The commissioner could say something, the president of the university
26:30
Speaker 2: can say something, But Nah, all we get is coaching
26:35
Speaker 2: the number one team going Hey, if if they're gonna
26:37
Speaker 2: do it, we're gonna do it. You know, if if
26:40
Speaker 2: it's legal and it can and it can make us better,
26:44
Speaker 2: we're going to do it. I would argue that even
26:47
Speaker 2: in Ohio, where the Cleveland Browns play, Ryan Days like, nah,
26:52
Speaker 2: we don't want any rejects from Cleveland. We've got a
26:55
Speaker 2: lot more talent than that. Our roster is more talented
26:58
Speaker 2: than the Cleveland Brown So if he ain't good enough
27:01
Speaker 2: to be in Cleveland, he's not good enough to.
27:03
Speaker 1: Play for us.
27:06
Speaker 2: That I mean, Am I wrong? It's like, yeah, we
27:10
Speaker 2: don't want Brown's rejects. Now, if you give us a
27:17
Speaker 2: reject from Seattle, are they defending champs Seattle? If you
27:21
Speaker 2: and who they played in the Super Bowl?
27:25
Speaker 1: They played the Patriots.
27:26
Speaker 2: Patriots, Oh, that's right, if they were, if they were
27:30
Speaker 2: Super Bowl rejects, it's like, yeah, maybe we'll take a
27:33
Speaker 2: look at him.
27:33
Speaker 1: But Cleveland, now.
27:36
Speaker 2: They're not good enough. Look, this is just logical natural.
27:45
Speaker 2: You're going to see players signed rejects from the NFL now,
27:50
Speaker 2: right and left, and unless a judge puts a stop
27:53
Speaker 2: to it, which is where we are in at colleges,
27:56
Speaker 2: because the coaches aren't they're they're not going to put
28:00
Speaker 2: a stop to it. That they're not going to say, yeah,
28:05
Speaker 2: this guy can help us, but he was in the NFL.
28:10
Speaker 2: He was just on an NFL squad.
28:11
Speaker 1: We can't do that.
28:14
Speaker 2: And again, apparently we're not going to hear from any
28:18
Speaker 2: presidents saying that either because they've just like.
28:23
Speaker 1: They're like have their hands over their ears, going no, no, no, no,
28:27
Speaker 1: no no no no, no, no no no.
28:29
Speaker 2: I can't hear you. I can't hear you. I don't
28:31
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. I don't understand. Uh,
28:37
Speaker 2: student athletes, we're we're about we're about students here, we're educating.
28:41
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no no, that's where the presidents are.
28:46
Speaker 2: So there you go, until and unless these people want
28:53
Speaker 2: to make me the commissioner of college football.
28:59
Speaker 1: These are the issues we're gonna be dealing with.
29:02
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna take a break, We're gonna come back.

31:46
Speaker 1: That's easy for me to say, don't try that. I'm
31:49
Speaker 1: a professional.
31:51
Speaker 2: The Longhorns went into last season with the number one
31:54
Speaker 2: ranking that lasted right until the end of the first
31:57
Speaker 2: week at Ohio State. This year, the Buck come to
32:00
Speaker 2: Austin as number one in week two of the season.
32:04
Speaker 1: Arch Manning did not live.
32:05
Speaker 2: Up to the preseason expectations, but he had a bad
32:08
Speaker 2: offensive line and a poor running game. All American tackle
32:12
Speaker 2: trefor Goosby is already out, but maybe back in time
32:16
Speaker 2: for Ohio State, and Manning steadily improved as the season progressed.
32:22
Speaker 14: Yeah, my goal of this offseason was just to stay present,
32:24
Speaker 14: take it one day at a time. I'm not really
32:27
Speaker 14: worried about the outside world, and that's what I'm going
32:29
Speaker 14: to continue to try to do. Yeah, I think going
32:31
Speaker 14: through your reads and getting the ball to the right people,
32:34
Speaker 14: and I think I didn't do that sometimes last year,
32:37
Speaker 14: but trying to get better at that this year.
32:39
Speaker 2: The biggest offseason surprise was the firing of defensive coordinator
32:44
Speaker 2: Pete Kwitkowski in favor of Will must Champ. The Longhorns
32:48
Speaker 2: have already lost a linebacker in ty Anthony Smith, dismissed
32:52
Speaker 2: from the team over the weekend All American Rush in

Speaker 2: Colin Simmons says he likes must Chance philosophy.
33:00
Speaker 17: Muchdown definitely broaden all of ours mindset, you know, when
33:05
Speaker 17: it comes to defense, when it comes to the playstyle
33:08
Speaker 17: that we play, the aggressiveness, how he carry hisself, how
33:11
Speaker 17: he come about the game of football.
33:14
Speaker 1: Man, I ain't gonna lie.
33:16

33:17
Speaker 17: I'm happy to be coached under him.
33:20
Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisian has been the two playoffs and played for
33:23
Speaker 2: an SEC title, but has struggled against two teams in particular,
33:28
Speaker 2: Georgia and Ohio State. He says the emphasis has been
33:32
Speaker 2: getting over that hump.
33:34
Speaker 12: That are gonna get us through the tough fourth quarters.
33:36
Speaker 12: Those are the moments that are gonna get us through
33:39

38:27
Speaker 2: What is going on down there? I mean, if anybody
38:31
Speaker 2: need to fire people, they're up in Arlington. But you're
38:35
Speaker 2: you're tied for first place. I mean, I know you're
38:39
Speaker 2: below five hundred, but you're tied.
38:43
Speaker 1: For first place.
38:45
Speaker 2: What are you doing dumping your general manager and your
38:49
Speaker 2: manager with with with.
38:51
Speaker 1: A month left in the season.
38:53
Speaker 2: Maybe it'll be maybe they wanted to just shut like
38:56
Speaker 2: shake things up. Maybe they wanted to say say, hey,
39:00
Speaker 2: we're better than this. You know, I don't know if
39:02
Speaker 2: you are. We're way deep into the season with the
39:05
Speaker 2: month left, and you're a below five hundred. You are
39:10
Speaker 2: what the schedule, what the record says you are, just
39:13
Speaker 2: like the Rangers are what the schedule says they are.
39:17
Speaker 1: They're below five hundred. The race is odd? Can the
39:22
Speaker 1: first team to eighty one wins?
39:26
Speaker 2: Right? I mean, let's see, I figured this out last night.
39:31
Speaker 2: Let me do my Richardson high math real quickly. Eleven
39:35
Speaker 2: ought plus ought is ought. There's thirty one games left
39:41
Speaker 2: in the season. Okay, thirty one games left. The team
39:47
Speaker 2: that goes sixteen and fifteen is going to win the West. Okay,
39:53
Speaker 2: that's it. Sixteen out of thirty one. That's asking a lot,
39:59
Speaker 2: I get it. But if you can go sixteen and
40:02
Speaker 2: fifteen and get to five hundred for the year, eighty
40:07
Speaker 2: one up and eighty one down, you're going.

Speaker 22: The Houston Astros got off to a great starting yesterday's
41:30
Speaker 22: rubber match against the Athletics, but then the A's used
41:32
Speaker 22: seven unanswered runs to hand the Astros a loss, the
41:35
Speaker 22: final score seven to six. Houston wasted no time getting
41:38
Speaker 22: on the board with a sackfly and two run homer
41:40
Speaker 22: from Hosey L two V for a three run lead
41:42
Speaker 22: in the first inning. Then after a basis loaded walk
41:44
Speaker 22: in the second, Ezoch Paradis extended the lead to six
41:46
Speaker 22: and the fourth.
41:47
Speaker 19: Get high in there deep to left field, got a
41:50
Speaker 19: chance Ethoch Paridis to run home broad Hold and.
41:55
Speaker 3: O two pitch and the Astros LTD fix nothing.
41:58
Speaker 22: The Athletics took over from there with a three run
42:00
Speaker 22: homer in the fifth to cut the lead in half,
42:02
Speaker 22: and then three more runs off RBI swings later in
42:05
Speaker 22: the inning, Max Monsei solo homer gave the A's the
42:07
Speaker 22: lead they needed for the win. Now the race in
42:09
Speaker 22: the Al West is tighter than ever, as Texas now
42:11
Speaker 22: ties the Astros for the lead. Seattle is only three
42:14

42:53
Speaker 10: On a warm summer's eve.
42:55
Speaker 2: I mean it could be argue that Kenny Rodgers made
42:59
Speaker 2: up with the game, made half of a career off
43:01
Speaker 2: this one song.
43:03
Speaker 1: Remember, I mean he had movies he.
43:08
Speaker 2: Embraced the like the nickname the Gambler he was always
43:12
Speaker 2: called after that this song came out, he was the Gambler.
43:17
Speaker 2: I don't know how many movies he made with the
43:19
Speaker 2: Gambler theme. But don't get me wrong, he had other
43:24
Speaker 2: great songs, but this one went to a whole another level.
43:30
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back, Thanks for big with us.
43:33
Speaker 2: As we mentioned somehow, the Rangers won a series over
43:38
Speaker 2: the Angels.
43:40
Speaker 1: In Arlington over the weekend.
43:42
Speaker 2: It wasn't easy because it was horrible Saturday night horrible, and.
43:47
Speaker 1: In fact they had a stretch.
43:50
Speaker 2: I want to say they scored three runs in three
43:52
Speaker 2: games and won two of those games. They were no hit,
44:00
Speaker 2: like six innings on Saturday at night.
44:03
Speaker 1: I know Rusty was there.
44:05
Speaker 2: He vowed never to go to Arlington again, at least
44:07
Speaker 2: this season.
44:10
Speaker 1: It was horrible.
44:11
Speaker 2: But they exploded for five runs yesterday. And let's hear
44:17
Speaker 2: from manager Skip Schumacher afterward.
44:21
Speaker 24: I know, I wish I could tell you, like the
44:23
Speaker 24: messaging was different or the work was different. I think,
44:27
Speaker 24: you know, the guys just swung at strikes and didn't
44:29
Speaker 24: chase a ton today. The middle of the order was
44:32
Speaker 24: really good. Seager and Wyatt, you know, we're fantastic today.
44:36
Speaker 24: But the bottom of the order really helped out as well.
44:39
Speaker 24: And I think that's the main difference. We just didn't
44:41
Speaker 24: rely on the top. Diaz had a fantastic day to day,
44:45
Speaker 24: home run, Sackfly Freeman had a really nice day to day,
44:49
Speaker 24: or Hopy with the big hit, you know, to keep
44:52
Speaker 24: us going. So I think it was just up and
44:54
Speaker 24: down the lineup, and we weren't just so reliant on
44:56
Speaker 24: the top half, even though the top did pretty dan good. Yeah,
45:00
Speaker 24: we needed it obviously, you know, the you know, they
45:04
Speaker 24: came back Anaheim has you know, coming off that Houston series.
45:09
Speaker 24: They've they've been hitting, you know, they've they've been pitching
45:11
Speaker 24: and hitting. They've been actually playing pretty good and uh so,
45:14
Speaker 24: you know they were gonna give us tough at bats.
45:16
Speaker 24: They did, you know, in the seventh and eighth inning
45:18
Speaker 24: they were you know, they came back and you know
45:22
Speaker 24: we had to use obviously stil Seth and Lats and
45:26
Speaker 24: because of some you know, quality of bass that they had.
45:28
Speaker 24: So that's why you need the offense. You need the
45:30
Speaker 24: five runs, You need to have cushions so we can
45:32
Speaker 24: go on the attack. It's not like we walked a
45:34
Speaker 24: bunch of people. You know, we we made them swing
45:38
Speaker 24: the bat and they did and they and the hits
45:39
Speaker 24: fell in for them, and but you know, luckily Lots
45:42
Speaker 24: was in there.
45:43
Speaker 10: To save it.
45:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right.
45:45
Speaker 24: You know, we said how difficult this has been from
45:48
Speaker 24: being a sent down a triple a too long man
45:51
Speaker 24: to higher type of leverage to start, back to bullpen,
45:55
Speaker 24: back to starting, and he keeps providing six innings of
45:59
Speaker 24: no runs, a lot of strikes seventy percent. The reason
46:02
Speaker 24: why he's so successful and a lot of the young
46:05
Speaker 24: guys can learn from this is he pounds his own
46:07
Speaker 24: it's seventy percent strikes.
46:09
Speaker 10: He uses his splitter.
46:11
Speaker 6: I think he had four or five.
46:12
Speaker 24: Strikeouts on the split to right and to left. Use
46:15
Speaker 24: the cutter when he needed it, but a lot of
46:17
Speaker 24: balls were off the barrel. And that's that is when
46:20
Speaker 24: Cal is really good, it's strike one and then it's,
46:23
Speaker 24: you know, within four or five pitches, it's, you know,
46:25
Speaker 24: either an out or hit. And that's why he's fun
46:28
Speaker 24: to play behind, because he's on the attack. He's a
46:30
Speaker 24: veteran pitcher that knows how to win. And he was
46:33
Speaker 24: really good. I thought, you know, the first and third
46:36
Speaker 24: in the second inning. For him to get out of
46:38
Speaker 24: that jam and then us coming back and Duran hitting
46:41
Speaker 24: the home run was a big momentum swing for us
46:43
Speaker 24: and for Cal to get out of that inning with
46:46
Speaker 24: no runs given up was a big moment in the game.
46:49
Speaker 2: Cal quant Schall has been pretty good lately, believe it
46:52
Speaker 2: or not. And again Kumar Rocker is pitching tonight. You
46:57
Speaker 2: have no we have no clue what we're getting. He
47:00
Speaker 2: could throw six innings of no hit baseball or be
47:03
Speaker 2: out of the game after six batters in the first
47:06
Speaker 2: inning and down five to nothing. I mean, it's just
47:10
Speaker 2: been brutal, and the record tells you it's more likely
47:15
Speaker 2: to be the latter scenario than the former one. So
47:22
Speaker 2: I keep saying, this has to be his last start.
47:25
Speaker 2: They can't keep running him out there. They have to
47:28
Speaker 2: put him in the bullpen. And I know they're short
47:31
Speaker 2: right now. I get it. I don't care.
47:35
Speaker 1: Anyway.
47:36
Speaker 2: Okay, let's hear. I'll tell you what. Ezekiel Duran is
47:42
Speaker 2: the player of the year for the Rangers. I don't
47:43
Speaker 2: think there's any doubt about that. He has played every
47:49
Speaker 2: position I think except for pitcher and catcher.
47:53
Speaker 1: I think this is right.
47:55
Speaker 2: I think he's played seven positions and he just keeps.
48:00
Speaker 2: He played center field yesterday they had I mean.
48:07
Speaker 1: He has got no choice.
48:08
Speaker 2: He's got guys hitting below two hundred, right, and so
48:13
Speaker 2: they switched up the lineup, put Duran in in center field,
48:22
Speaker 2: and he still hits.
48:24
Speaker 1: Here is Duran afterward feel pretty good?
48:28
Speaker 25: So he does the same, playing hard and make every play.
48:32
Speaker 25: I mean that feels good.
48:34
Speaker 2: You know.
48:35
Speaker 25: I'm just trying to do my job really good and
48:37
Speaker 25: bring hard and win game. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.
48:40
Speaker 25: When when we score early does that's what That's what
48:44
Speaker 25: I'm saying, win games, playing hard and do the best
48:48
Speaker 25: job we can do.
48:49
Speaker 1: I think this is right.
48:51
Speaker 2: I think the Rangers are now forty seven and fifteen
48:57
Speaker 2: when they score first, like thirty two games over five
49:01
Speaker 2: hundred when they score the first run of the game.
49:07
Speaker 2: They really really need to score first. The Rangers have
49:14
Speaker 2: won seven of their eight last home series, so they
49:18
Speaker 2: have picked that part of it up. Zeke hid his
49:22
Speaker 2: fourteenth home run of the year yesterday.
49:26
Speaker 1: And how about Diaz. Diaz has been a fine for
49:34
Speaker 1: this team.
49:40
Speaker 10: I mean.
49:42
Speaker 2: Had a home run plus I think another run bat
49:46
Speaker 2: it in Seeger has multiple hits in six of his
49:51
Speaker 2: last seven games. He's still not hitting, frankly with the
49:58
Speaker 2: pop that you would like, but at least he's hitting.
50:03
Speaker 2: He's crawled his way over the Mendoza line. They they
50:10
Speaker 2: need him for astro fans. They need him to be
50:16
Speaker 2: your done basically, and in twenty three when they won,
50:20
Speaker 2: he was right. I saw your Don was walked three
50:23
Speaker 2: times yesterday, So at least Oakland is smart enough to
50:32
Speaker 2: know to walk you don. Alvarez Schumacher is apparently hasn't
50:36
Speaker 2: made that thought yet and won't have a chance to
50:40
Speaker 2: unless these two teams meet in the playoffs, which I
50:45
Speaker 2: think is remote.
50:48
Speaker 1: But it is just it's crazy. It is just crazy that.
50:57
Speaker 2: Either of these teams, one of these teams I think
51:01
Speaker 2: is going to win the West. And I say I
51:03
Speaker 2: think because Seattle seven games under five hundred but only
51:07
Speaker 2: three games out.
51:09
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just crazy.
51:10
Speaker 2: And they've they've gotten beat like nineteen to nothing and
51:13
Speaker 2: twenty two to one or something like that lately, and
51:18
Speaker 2: they're still three games out of a playoff spot and
51:23
Speaker 2: they haven't fired their manager or general manager yet. And
51:29
Speaker 2: in case you missed it, the Astros did that today.
51:32
Speaker 2: First they fired the GM. Then word came down that
51:38
Speaker 2: they fired a Spota but gave him the choice of
51:46
Speaker 2: finishing out the year, which he accepted. Normally, you would say, well,
51:53
Speaker 2: I don't know how the team's going to go from there.
51:55
Speaker 2: Are they gonna Does this get their attention? Do they,
52:00
Speaker 2: you know, go on a little run. And I'm thinking normally,
52:04
Speaker 2: you'd say, well, I don't know, they're gonna go one
52:06
Speaker 2: way or the other. Right, they're just gonna crash or
52:08
Speaker 2: they're gonna go on a run. The general manager doesn't matter.
52:14
Speaker 2: But most of the time the manager does. Look what
52:16
Speaker 2: the Phillies have done.
52:17
Speaker 1: But still.
52:19
Speaker 2: With that team, I'm going, yeah, I don't think it's
52:22
Speaker 2: gonna affect them. I think they're still gonna be five hundred.
52:26
Speaker 2: Could you imagine right now, as we get toward the
52:29
Speaker 2: end of the month, if one of these teams has
52:32
Speaker 2: like a four or five game winning streak, that might
52:36
Speaker 2: be enough.
52:37
Speaker 1: But I would.
52:41
Speaker 2: Say that if one of these teams has a four
52:44
Speaker 2: or five game winning streak like we've seen all year,
52:46
Speaker 2: the odds are they will follow that with a four
52:49
Speaker 2: or five game losing streak. That's what it means to
52:53
Speaker 2: be five hundred. The great Bill Parcells said it. You
52:59
Speaker 2: are what your record says you are. You can excuse
53:03
Speaker 2: all day at all night. You can come up with
53:06
Speaker 2: everything you want. Yeah, the Rangers have bad injuries, the
53:10
Speaker 2: Astros had injuries.
53:12
Speaker 1: You can use every excuse you want to use. But
53:16
Speaker 1: the bottom line is.
53:19
Speaker 2: Your record is what it says you are, and these
53:24
Speaker 2: teams are five hundred teams. Actually, they're not even five
53:28
Speaker 2: hundred teams right now. They're below a game of five hundred.
53:32
Speaker 2: We don't have the Astros off tonight. Yeah, they start tomorrow,
53:38
Speaker 2: and in fact they start in New York I believe
53:41
Speaker 2: against the Yankees tomorrow. So that's not good for the Astros.
53:50
Speaker 2: But the Rangers are in Chicago. It gets a White
53:52
Speaker 2: Sox team that's turned everything around this year, maybe the
53:57
Speaker 2: most impressive right of the turnarounds. I'm not sure anybody
54:01
Speaker 2: saw that coming. And again they haven't been very good
54:06
Speaker 2: on the road. My thought is both these teams lose
54:11
Speaker 2: two out of three, and they come out of these
54:16
Speaker 2: series in New York and Chicago still tied and two
54:23
Speaker 2: games below five hundred. I'm just telling you first one
54:28
Speaker 2: to eighty one, they're going to win it. Oliver Brothers
