• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Ha.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Well the gold, you know, the gold kind of threw
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: me off there.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Well, this is from the when the Rangers hosted.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: This is All Star Week two years ago. Yes, I
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: broke out the All Star hat. Okay, that's I mean.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: That was the ugliest All Star uniform I'd ever seen.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was really atrocious. I mean you don't even
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: want to buy it. No, there's no wed by that thing. Now.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I like the batting that batting pass because they're in
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the team colors. Yes, but those those colors were just off.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do they think. I wish that they
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: just go back to you get to wear your your
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: team's uniforms, right.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: You wear your homes or you wear your.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Broth and those made the best photos in the seventies
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and oh yes, yeah, it's like when they had the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: like the Pirates and that solid you know, gold in
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the Great Pirates classic hat, and you had the Feelies
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the Powder Blues and the Cubs and you had so
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: many teams that had the powder Blues and it was
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: just there was so much color in those photos.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: And I used to love that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And now they do these uniforms that are just again
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the whole All Star game.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna buy the All Star when they were
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: in Seattle because it looked like a Mariner's uniform. I'm
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: not I'm not gonna buy an Astro's jersey. It looks
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: like a Mariner's jersey.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: No way, no way. I agree with you. And that's
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: the same thing.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It's like, I don't buy these city connect things because
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I don't like them.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: I know they're.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Tahas. Yeah, I'm not buying that. I might buy the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: hat because the hat just looks like the old Rangers logo,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: but I'm not buying the jersey. And I hated that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: slat that those pajama like bottoms that they used to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: wear when they had the you know, the what the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: peak I know they call it. Yeah, anyway, it was ugly.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't like it. It was like, no, I'm not
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: buying that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I like the first Astros City Connect more than the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: second one.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did too. I did too, And again I buy.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I bought the hat the the from the first one,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: but only I did it in the red and blue.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't do it in that stupid black hat. Is
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: just like, I don't understand what they're doing. I mean,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you go away from your team, coach, like Boston has
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the most awful city Connects. I hate the green and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the yellow. It's like, give me a break.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's what we wore back in the twenties
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and you were still the Red Sox. Then, I guess
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: all the real you could afford was like.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears throwbacks when they have those. Yeah, just
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the stripes, the downward stripes on their jerseys.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: It's the terrible. Yeah.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we could go off on the uniform talk.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just you know, it was kind of
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: funny because I hadn't even seen the Tayhouse uniform until
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Friday night.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: They're ugly, Yeah they are.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: I don't like them. Yeah, I mean they're better.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: They're better than the ones they had last year, the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Cream Ones.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Well, the worst thing about the Cream Ones was those
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: stupid black pants.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: They could tell me their navy blue, but they're stupid.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Then they look like pajama pants. It's like these is embarrassing.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: I don't like it. Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So anyway, uh but yeah, it was. It was great
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: weekend for the Rangers. They to comebacks to come backs.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I think that they seriously exposed one of the weaknesses
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that this team has had, even though the team e
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: r A.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: The bullpit in the RA has been pretty good.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: There, they got to making trade.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Because Astros came back to That's the other thing about that.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Here's it was a great game.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: They were great. It was a great series.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Except for the second game when the Astros just destroyed
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Rocker and that game was over early.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I thought that was a great game.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: No, I'm sure you did. But uh, but the.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Other two games were better because the Astros came back
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and then the Rangers route.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Here's from the funny statistic is the Rangers have blown
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: eleven says this year. They're nine and two in those games.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: That's kind of crazy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: That is kind of crazy.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And so that they did that three times this week.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You know, they they gave up a lead and then
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they came back and they won. And I can't keep
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: doing that. They are playing better offensively. Uh, and you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: might as well just plan it, you know. I'm I've
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: given up on Seeger come back. I just he may
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: come back.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: The best players are already playing short stuff for you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I tell you Zeke could have been an All Star.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And I tell you Josh Young's come back in a long,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: long way.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And to get watch Jahan Peterson's up forty points. It's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the last time I paid attention when Astro's paid, but.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: He's he's played really really well.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: He's hitting for power and Langford's hitting for power.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: No, it's just terrible all all the both teams are
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: so flawed.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are, but you can't give up on them
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: because we've seen what happens.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: You think both these teams have some heart. I think
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: that's why the Astros came back. I think that's why
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the Rangers came back. Both teams have some heart. They
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: understand that they're in this. If the Astros had one yesterday,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: they would be the wild card and been half a
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: game behind the Rangers.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the lead. It's going to be very close all
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the way because I don't take any team in the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: divisions good enough to run away from him.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Do you want do you want? Do you want the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Rangers to sell, stand Pat or buy?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I would stamp Pat with the hope unless you can
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: get another bullpen arm Scooble.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: No, definitely, you wouldn't take school. You wouldn't take a
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: rental on scoobl.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: There ain't no way they have enough pieces to get him.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: But if they could get a relief, pitch your arm.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I think the hope is you get Cody Bradford back
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: on the other half, you get Jordan Montgomery back on
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the other half, you get Jack Lyder back pretty soon,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and then there is a couple of bullpen arms that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: could come back that are on the injured list right now,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: so you could get some pitching back and really kind
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of strengthen that staff.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: It's been pretty good, so I.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Don't think quite, Frank, I don't think the Rangers have
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: enough you know, prospects anymore like the Astros to get
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a big time And like I said before, I told
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: lou this, you can't trade Seger right now because he's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: got no value. And if he did, if you got
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: him healthy and he started hitting, then yeah, he I'd
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: trade Seeger. I'd get rid of that contract if I could.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: But again, what are you going to get back from him?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Not not much. I mean I've heard a couple people
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: talk about the least valuable player in the American League
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this year is between Vladimir Guerrero and course Seeger. I mean,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: they've done nothing and they're supposed to carry their team.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: And so the fact that the Rangers have played pretty good,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you know recently, they didn't play well at all early
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: like the ass they weren't as bad as the Astros start, right,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the Astros that I actually played pretty darn well lately.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, well, they've they're going through the
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: same kind of thing. Who you're gonna get some guys back.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: And you know, and they've got Jordan, and Jordan can
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: carry an offense. And that guy we talked him off
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the air. That's that's a guy who I'll pay to watch,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you know, play. I mean, I'm just always surprised when
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the Rangers get him out. He's just that good. And
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: we talked off air. You know, Yeah, I hit the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: homers and you know, he had this, you know, the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: double in the first game. But to me, the most
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: impressive of bat was yesterday and the Rangers had two
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: strikes on him, and I think it was early in
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the game. So Mackenzie Gore made a perfect pitch and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it was up real tight on him and he swung.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And there's no other human being in the planet right now,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: because well, because if Tony's not playing and Bonds is retired,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: who could hit that ball and keep it fair and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: hit it with enough power that he's single, Like, there's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: no possible way that I've I can see that other
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: than just a superhuman like this guy is really fun
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to watch. And as I as you know, I'm not
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: an Astros fan by any means, but I love watching
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: your on play. Yeah, and I respect the heck out
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: of Altuve and i'd like I told you off air.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, I will say this. The Rangers fans booed Altuve mercilessly.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they always do. They're stupid.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: But I went back and looked, and the Rangers in
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: twenty seventeen when all this stuff comes out, sold you
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Darvish to the Dodgers.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: It's not about that head to head. It's just it's
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: just what.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't think fans in any fan bases
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: if you are mad about something that happened in a
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: season where your team didn't want to win, Okay, if
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: you're a seller, I don't want to hear from you.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: If you're a Dodgers fan or a Yankees fan or
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: a Red Sox fan and you want to boo anybody
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: on that Astros team because you lost to him in
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, more power to you.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: I don't do that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: But you were twenty six games behind the Astros.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're you're preaching to the choir here.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't know boo.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I know, the ladies. The lady right next to me
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: was just okay, well guess what he did something in
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: that game. So us Astro fans there turn their booze
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: intown two vays.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Well, and you know, I got on TV last year
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: on the Rangers TV after uh, the Rangers were playing
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the Astros down there, and then Garcia Homers and so
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I'm the only one standing up in a section right
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: behind the Rangers dugout. So I get it. I mean, yeah,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: they used to love the boo Garcia, and I don't.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't really understand that.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I can't because he owned that Atros. Well, yeah, he
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: was the mayor of Houston.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: But so Tuvey to.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Be Fairs hit forty home runs in his career against
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the Rangers. I'm not I'm not joking. I mean I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: just said that was his fortieth and that's pretty good.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: That's pretty good.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: That's even more than uh Lad Senior.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, it's the most of any player that's
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: ever played against the Rangers, that includes Redis Jackson.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: So I mean, tip your hat and he's no, you
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: know what, he's second. He's second behind Mike Trout. So okay, yeah,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: so that's pretty good company.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: But they don't boo Trout. No, it's because the Angels
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: are terrible.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: The other Angels that are terrible and there not in
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the state, and there has never been a rivalry until
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Aren't you glad we have a rivalry. That's great. I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: love Sports eight, but it's so much better.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Than when we were doing interdivisional right.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: When I went down to Houston a couple times ago,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: there was a guy down there, and of course I
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: had been arranging stuff on and he had a dark
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: blue and orange T shirt that said Arlington Sucks. I
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: was like, look, I hate your T shirt, but I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: love the message. I love because I love the Sports eight.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that you know, I hate Houston,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: you hate Arlington.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: That's fine.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I like it. Yesterday my brother wore the Nolan Ryan
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: bloody shirt giveaway, okay, and I wore a rainbow Astros
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Nolan Ryan shirt.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: That's perfect. That's perfect because not you know, I.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Know, if I wear Nolan Ryan shirt there, I'm not
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: getting any slack. Nobody's throwing a beer on me or
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: anything like that. You know what, I finally figured out
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: a jersey I had I could wear Mike Scott, I have.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: You know, I've got a Hall of Fame Mike Scott
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: jersey that I could probably wear down there, and people
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: aren't even gonna know who he is because Astros weren't
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: playing the Rangers when Mike Scott was there.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: There's stupid baseball fans that come to the games just
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to you know, yeah, buy beer, and so yeah, they
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: might not have known, but I mean that's what I
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: love about going to Wrigley. I've been to fourteen different ballparks,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and Wrigly by far as my favorite because we sat
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: out in the outfield and the fans truly knew this
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: is twenty sixteen, when the Rangers had the best record
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: in American League and that the Cubs went on to
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: win the World Series, and so they knew everything about
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you know, Cole Hamil's was pitching today. I mean, we
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: got we're in for a long day, you know. And
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: then we made friends out there and they knew they
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: knew the game right, and so we talked back and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: forth by you know, how Rizzo was doing really really well.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Obviously in twenty sixteen the Cubs, could they break the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: curse and all these things, and they're like, well, the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: game's over, Rangers won. We all took a photo and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: he goes, we'll see you back in October.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Well that didn't happen.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: But it's just like, I love it being around fans
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that didn't know the game.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: And if you go to a game.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: In Arlington, if you go to game in Houston, there's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: a good chance the people around you are going to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: start cheering as soon as the ball will go up
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: in the air like it's a pop fly.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: Guys, there's no reason to cheer. Okay, I'm not just
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: gonna say that.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: The woman right next to me every time the ball
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: was put in play, I've seen it. I swooped, he
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: ooped it up.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and then oh yeah, oh well, trust me, there's.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: There are many Astros fans doing the same thing.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Promise you I've experienced it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: But but that big said it was the first time.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: And I didn't know this until yesterday when the Astros
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: had the lead. My brother turned to me and the
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: ninth inning and goes, do you know I've never seen
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the Rangers beat the Astros. Wow kidding, And and we
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: go all the time, and you know, and I was like,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I should have bought you a ticket to the ALCS.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah I was because because you know, I went to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: three of the four games down in Houston for the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: twenty three LCS, including Game seven, which was probably my
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: all time favorite game that I've ever been to because
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: there at the end and there were not many fans.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: No they had left, yeah they had, but I'm just
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: saying it was kind of funny. And you know, this
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: was for his birthday, and walking out, I really didn't
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: feel like I've felt ever because I just didn't realize
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I'd never watched the Astros lose with him.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: That's that's crazy.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: So so now he can go back, right, Yeah, I
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: can go back. He's to beat everybody else he's ever
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: gone to watch the game there.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got you know, the what you call the app,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the stadium ap, you know, so it keeps track of
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: all the games you've gone to, you know, and so
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you so, uh, I've got a pretty bad record against
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the Astros except for those playoff games. So I've seen
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the Astros win a lot of games against.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: The Rangers, It's crazy because I remember a point in
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: time where the Astros couldn't beat the Rangers to save
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: their lives.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: There was a yeah, there was, but that was a
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: lot of times when the Astros were really, really bad.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: You mean, when they were taking when they were tanking
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: before they got great draft picks and they came the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: dynasty and so but yeah, I go back to the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: booting two V. It's like the way I kind of
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: look at it, like, yeah, okay, they cheated, but if
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you're not cheating, you're not trying.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, the baseball has been trying to steal signs.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I mean every team does that or did it before
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: everything was auto automated. So it's like, yeah, okay, they're cheating,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: but I mean every team was trying.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: If you had a way that Nelson Cruz would know
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to catch that fly ball in the World Series, would
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: you take it?
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I blamed that on wrong Washington, But what I'm saying is, yeah, yeah, absolutely,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I back him up. Sure if I if I knew so.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I've never booed any of the Astros players. No, never,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: not one time.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: But I feel like I'm a pretty educated baseball fan care.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: A baseball fan you love the game.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Too, absolutely, and so you know the inner workings, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: like my kids know they are if they're with me,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: they don't stand on that stupid wave. We're not going
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: to do the way.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen. So I think they only did
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: it twice yesterday.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm not participating any time. Yeah, I will
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: say there was a cool I went out. I was
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: dating a girl. This is long long time. He was
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: back in college, right, and so I was home for
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the summer, and she went to TCU and so she
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: lived out in Odessa, and so she invited me to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: go out and spend this time with her family in
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the summer. And so it was around the fourth of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: July weekend. So we went to a minor league game
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: right out in Odessa and or Middle and I can't
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: remember which ones, but anyway, so they did the wave.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: They didn't stand up, they.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Just all kind of waved their hands as it went
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: around the stadium. So I thought, okay, I can participate.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: In that, participating that. Yeah, that's the only time.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: That's the only time I've ever done the way.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: That's good. I'm glad we don't do that. Cayle Field
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: either no, can.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: You imagine or I mean heaving a bid. We do
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it at Olsen, Bluebell.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Anywhere anywhere. All Star game, have all the All Star
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: games jump the Shark.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Now, yeah, it doesn't.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: It doesn't carry pretty good, yeah, I mean, but well
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the four when they went to the four team thing,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: that was brilliant.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: They then they could have some national pride and hate
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: each other and play.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: The NFL is a joke.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: It's the flag football because you got hurt, you have
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: some people hurt.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just dumb. I don't even know what I mean.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's still to be named to the Pro
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Bowl team.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you get money for that, get your contract.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but it's not a big deal anymore.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched it since they he went. Yeah, and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: then the NBA they don't play any defense, and it's
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: just like why, it's it's a joke.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I just think that since interleague play, when you get
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to see every your team face every player.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: So you see him play the.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Dodgers, and you see Otani, and you see him play
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the Mets, and you see him play every team.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: You see him play the Marlins.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I mean they've been playing the best in the National
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: League recently, and so you don't the All Star Game
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: when you and I were kids, you got to see
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: guys that you didn't get to see every day, no,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and so there was something kind of unique about it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: And you know, it went back because the.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: National League for a long time they owned the American League,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and then the American League owned the National League, and
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: then and then they had the stupid thing about the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: whoever wins the World Series going to have home field
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: advantage in the World Series.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: That was really dumb.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: But then this it's just half the guys who get
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: named to the team now they don't. They don't come
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to the All Star Game, you know. So it's like,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: especially like pitchers, you know, it's like you get named
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: to the All Star Game and the misz he You know,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: if I was going to the All Star Game, I'd
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: want to see him pitch right right, Well, he's not
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: pitching right because he's hurt. Because he's hurt, and I just, yeah,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any thing fatigue.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, can you get a guy out throwing one
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: hundred and one instead of one hundred and five?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you wonder when that guy is going to break down,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I hope he does it.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: I hope he doesn't.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Either, because he is good for the game.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean, guys love to see you know,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: everybody love to see triple digits, right, Yeah, you see
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: triple digits, you're like, oh, you know.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I remember seeing I remember John Stintson did it at
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Baylor because they had triple digits on their scoreboard, and
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: at Olsen, the heighest that would go was be ninety nine,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: so he might have he might have thrown a hundred,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you know, a bunch of times before we had any
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: game track or anything like that. We went to Baylor
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: and it went one hundred, and then he looked up
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: and his next pitch went one on one because it
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, they'll show that up there.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: That's funny.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I hadn't heard it. I hadn't heard that name a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, I remember John, that was that was fantastic.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But I just I think that, you know, you're
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: exactly right about the NBA. But then again, if Bill
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Lambert was an All Star, he wasn't gonna not play
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: you defensively.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, back in those days that they there
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: was a little more pride in that.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't think the Lakers in the in the
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Celtics guys were going at each other. Yeah, the Bird
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: wasn't acting like you know, I remember when Isaiah when
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: somebody said the Pistons will finally win win a playoff,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: win games in the playoff, and Isaiah plays is tough
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs as he does in the All Star
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Game because he was playing against.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Magic, right yeah, yeah, and then they.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Did and then they won, and that and and that
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: kind of went away because he didn't carry that around anymore.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: But he won like two or three All Star Game
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: MVPs in a row.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Well, everybody remembers the iconic you know. Well, if you're
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: old enough, you remember Pete Rose running over the catcher
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: in the All Star Game, right, Yes, I mean that's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: obviously that's a whole different level of the game meant something,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you know, Yes, I mean it really meant something. There's
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: now that obviously the rules are different, you can't do
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: that anyway, But they don't really care who wins the game,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Like last year, wasn't home run derby or something at
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the end to decide. Yes, that's just stupid. I mean
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't even really. I like a lot of the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: rule changes in Major League Baseball because it speeds up
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the game, and especially you may not agree, because I
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: know you probably don't, but I wish college baseball would
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: go to the limit of throwing over two times or
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: just because that speeds up the game so much. I
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: love the the way the abs challenges are it.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: It went as fast. I had seen it in sugar
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Land last year, and it was so fast. I was like,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be seamless.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's It's interesting to me because I watched
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of games and the catchers seem to be
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the best at it, right, yes, like they can recognize it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: The pitchers are the worst and the but I just
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: think the catchers are so much better than the hitters
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: that they did.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: You were watching the game yesterday, Yeah, yeah, so it's
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: on the screen and I can't read it. How far
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: was that a ball? Because that would look to me
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: like it had been as close as I had seen them.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Did they get the number on the on when the
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Rangers challenged it, they thought it was a strike and
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: it was a ball.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: It was like you could like it was point one
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: point one literally you could not have put a dime
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: in between there.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: It was amazing.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: It was the closest one i'd see.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was closest one I see because the computer
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: initially it came up red uh huh. But then when
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: they showed it, it was a ball, and so it was.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Like, that's as close as his bed.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: That's a wild guess.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: It's basically what that boiled out to.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Like even the Rangers nasal goes, whoa, that fooled the computer?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: We're fooled all the time. We're gonna run the break
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: and when we come back, we'll keep scatter shooting around.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I was. I couldn't see the big the
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: big screen from where my seats were. They were under
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: on the background.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Don't you don't you find yourself as a fan going
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: step your hat.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Like in a college game, I watched the guy get
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: thrown out because he did that because he didn't like
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the call uh huh, And he was smart enough to
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: the umpire and and it was by bye bye. Yeah,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: we ain't got that here yet. I don't blame college tennis.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Next year is gonna have it.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: I don't blame the up for that.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I find myself as a fan, going, come on,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: you gotta tell that tap your hat.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're already out of challenges.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or or sometimes they don't want to blow him
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to earth.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's you know your don Avarez doesn't challenge ever.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think he that's because he never misses the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: ball man.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: He's playing the Rangers.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's run the break. Chip is gonna
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: come on. Now, he's gonna tell you about Who's he
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: gonna tell us about? Lake Walk? Okay, I can't read

• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to Jip Arrot's Sports Talk here on a Monday.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: One of the things that they have changed is we
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: used to see this during the College World Series and
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: now that they have it during the All Star break
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: is the draft, and the Aggies had some guys get
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: drafted that that we're going to go. They had a
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: couple of guys that they would wanted to get into school,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: come to school. But as it is each and every year,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: you know, Mark Johnson told me a long time ago,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I'll lose a guy I expected to keep it. I'll
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: get a guy I never thought i'd see on campus.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: And but when you're playing the SEC, all of them
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: seem to have that. And that's why this league is
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: so good is because in this league, getting drafted after
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the tenth round and you and you're guaranteed at maximum
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. If an SEC team
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: wants to keep you, they can come up with one
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Dollars, then yeah, they're gonna pay you more. Yes, that's
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the thing about a lot of these kids. They're keeping
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: them longer in college because they can make that kind
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: of money. And you're getting kids who go to college
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: that could never afford to before, like I mean a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: lot lower income kids and who couldn't afford they had
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: to go straight to the draft.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: Well, now those kids can come.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: To college now because they got a full ride. Because
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: they get a full ride and they're making money. And
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: there's kids on that a M roster this last year
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: that never would have played today in them because they
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: couldn't have afforded it. Yes, and so they would have
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: had the baseball players would have had to go, which
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I think is great for the college game. And I
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: think a lot of teams are in major league teams
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: if they have a choice, and it's not clear that
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: this prospect is just really head and shows above what
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: they thought they might get, that they're going to go
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: with the college guys.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: And I've seen that a lot.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the first pick obviously had that Grady Emerson
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: from up in Fort Worth and Chilawski from u C
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: l A.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah. For Christian, he was he was really impressive.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and went and transferred to go play for
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Rusty Greer. I mean he was trying to set himself
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: up for that and get, you know, as good as
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: he could.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: I like his interview.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: He was obviously a Rangers fan growing up in Northwards
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: and Hills obviously, so so he's like, who do you
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: patting your game after?
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: Ian Kinsler? Okay, yeah, that's an.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Only Rangers fan would say Ian Kinsler. He said Sneaker
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit, yeah, but but really he said Ian Kinsler.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: So that was like.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I was my wife and I were watching the drafts, like, yeah,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: that kid grew up as a Ranger fan, no doubt.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: But I was really happy to see Kopian, you know,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: go not necessarily to Washington, but I mean he was
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: he had an injured season, but he still went with
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: the eleventh overall pick, and so good for him. You know, really,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I'm happy for him. Caden Surrell going to the Cubs.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I thought he'd go earlier, but you know, hey, he's
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: in a good spot in the Windy City and in
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: good organization. And I told you I was disappointed Gavin
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Grohovich went to the Angels, but it is going home
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: for him, and so good for good for him.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: I just Angels are.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: An organization that just they're they're poorly run organization.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I don't I mean, not the tangent off of this
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: too much.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they were good for so long, you know,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: and ardi Moreno just started wasting money. And I look
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: back at some of the bad, bad decisions Josh Hamilton. Yes,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just got an over pain like crazily well, yeah,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: pooholes to overpay that was one of the worst contract now,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I would put. Oh, I've had some really good years
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: with the Angels, but the contract that he gave.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know why that is. The Astros didn't went
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: to the American League. I thought was finally rid of
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: that guy.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I imagine watching that. Oh gosh, he had that
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: one home run against the Astros.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: It is still traveling somewhere, right.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: I tell you, and I and I don't know if
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: we've talked about it before I had. I was running
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: my recorder because they're covering that game. I was running
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: my recorder for the Astros to win the game, and
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: you can listen. You could listen to the tape and
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: it was from one hundred percent complete white noise. You
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: can't hear anything to silence except for the Saint Louis
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: fans that were down behind their dugout.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: But that was two thousand and five, right, yes, and
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the ass came back and won it. Yes, So I mean, yeah,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: that they didn't do it in front of me, that
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: takes the sting out.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I understand, yeah, yeah.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: But it takes a sting But yeah, but you know,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: maybe Gavin will be one of those guys that, you know,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: change it around. I mean, who have they had that's
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: been talented. It's not like they had Otani and Trout
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Oh wait.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, yeah that's Soriano is like for that for
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: a while. He's leading the American League in e r RA.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: So they still got some dudes, you know, but they
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: just seem like they're still pa.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe he could go there and they'll be changing.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: And they're the opposit of the Rays because the Rays
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: are they just seem like they just do so much
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: and they developed so much pitching and they can't afford
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: to keep them because no fans come to Tampa. And
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: the same with the Marlins. Marlin's playing great right now. Yeah,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: but anyway back Jaggies. You know Shane Sedeoh, he had
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: terrible year, but you know now he gets to go
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: play in New York and Bear Harrison hopefully gets to
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: eventually play.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: That wouldn't be great when they get to play each
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: other in the Subway Series.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Be fun if that would be fun.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: And and somebody you know, was like, and Bear Harrison,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: come catch us tonight for the Yankees, because our guy
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: is terrible. Well let's give him a little bit of
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: chance to to uh to get it together Weston masson
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: the eleventh round. And it's good to see him in
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: sadaeoh that their talent still got them drafted even though
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: their season, the numbers they had was very inconsistent.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Well, you're exactly right.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: And so what I'm interested to see Cideo, especially because
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: he's lefty who's guy. As you know, he's got great
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: velocity and they just got to get that fastball moving right,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I mean it because there's it's dead center. It looks
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: like it doesn't move. And so these major league coaches
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and and just to tweak here there. I just think
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: that that guy's got still potential, especially coming out of pen.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I can see him as a left handed, you know,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: reliever for a long time if he can just get
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: that fastball moving, you know, I mean moving up and
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: down instead of just being on plane.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Can't be on plane right now.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how fast you throw, if it's just
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: right on plane right.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, Clayton fresh Corn goes in the nineteenth round.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an indication to me that he's coming back
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: to Texas.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: A and M, which would be huge.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, I feel like that that's that guy.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: If he.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: If he wasn't coming back to A and M, he
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: goes a lot higher.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: I just gotta believe.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: That he had told he had gone through that telling people, no,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: don't draft me. Yeah, And I think Saint Louis's last
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: two picks, the power hitting outfielder from Oklahoma State who
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: hit thirty one home runs, was a lot like fresh Corn.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: They got to the spot where the top guy on
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: our draft board is this guy? Well, what, Well, he
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: may wake up tomorrow and not want to be a
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: college player anymore. Maybe today he wants to go back
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: to wherever and tomorrow. He doesn't, well, he has a
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: life change.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: And so here's here's another was talking to God.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: This shower, and he decided to go play running back
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: in Texas Tech.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and some teams they've already spent in their mind,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: they've already spent their budget by that time. Yes, so
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: there's no harm. They don't want to draft a guy
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: that they're going to have to sign. Yes, So, and
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: that's what this Baseball's and draft is about to get
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: even shorter.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, he used to.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Go on and on and on.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Round yeah, seventy five rounds.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Ridiculous, But that's.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Why we never covered it.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Right now, there's some press for well, yeah, now you know,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: at least the first two days are on TV.
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: And it's interesting because I've watched so many of.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: These players like you have, you know, in colleges, and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: so it's it's really interesting. But like, for example, the Rangers,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: they they loaded up on high school players. The first
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: three picks for high school players, and to keep them
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: from going to college, they had to you know, pay
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: them a significant slot of them out right, So the
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: guy they picked in the third round, you know, the
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: short stop they picked in the second round was a
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: name and them commit and uh, you know they're gonna
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: have to pay him a serious amount of money to
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: not go to A and M, and so, uh, they
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: changed their Their Day two strategy was a whole lot
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: different because they spent that money. They'd spent that money,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: and so they had a good draft. They drafted a
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: lot of seniors in college, yes, that don't have any
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: leverage and so but they got their guys that they wanted.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: You know, the high school. The picture from from Florida
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: was just I mean he was righting high as number
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: eight on you know, the MLB prospect list, and so
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: he's sitting there at sixteen.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: They're like, oh, we got to take this guy.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we'll come to that number.
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and we'll come to that number.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: We were five million.
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: They're gonna have to pay him, yeah, and they're gonna
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: do it.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But well, the good thing is for the Rangers fans,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: the Astros drafts stuck well. I took it well. In
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: the fourth round, they took a kid from Kansas short
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: stop that had been committed to the Longhorns, Okay, and
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: a third round pick Florida State's left handed Friday Night starter. Okay,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: those two guys. I'm not gonna sit here and say
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: those guys were close to what their numbers should be,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: all right. The guy from Texas Tech who hits home
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: runs in the Big twelve in the wind in love
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: it right, right, it's not even with the Crawford boxes.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: It ainate Lubbock, right, Okay, they took they took a
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: guy from Notre Dame. A picture from Notre Dame with
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: a three and a half y r ray that they
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: come on and they tell me, well, he can't throw
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: the breaking ball away from the right handed hitters. What
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: good is he If you can't throw a breaking ball?
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: What good are you? So the Rangers meet the Astros
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: in draft. I'm gonna just tell you that right now.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: We'll see how it all plays out.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because maybe none of these guys.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Even Yeah, that's the crazy thing. And so my wife
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: has asked me. He's like, these are just names, and
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, it's more than that. It's like
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: she goes, well, what do you know about Connor Kamu
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: or Camu? How do you pronounce that como como?
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I was like, well, I know he's coming
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: to am M.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: I know it's a shortstop.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: And he's really a big short stop six fours.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: He's a good looking prospect.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know there they feel like, you know,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: they got to steal with him in the second round,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: and so like, I love it. I loved it when
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: I saw the Texas prospects get selected early, the Texas
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: commits selected early, like the Longhorns. Yes, they're not going
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: to keep that guy right, Uh, he's moving on and
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: so but yeah, you just never know, especially when you
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: take a high school kid.
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: It's it's there's so much development, uh time.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: But you know, the Astros, their dynasty was built on
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of first round draft picks and hitting the
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: right guys.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, and they're saving money. They did a fantastic but
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: doing it and it's and it's a way to go,
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: and plenty of people who have done it since then.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: The White Sox, the White Socks are in that right now. Okay,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: the White Sox still braiding Montgomery and trading Garrett Crochet.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: You sit there and say, well, this is a one
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: sided deal, except all four of those guys are in
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: the majors for the White Sox that they got for
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet. You have got to give the White Sox
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: credit for doing their homework and getting four major leaguers
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: for one pitcher.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and normally.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Doesn't happen that way.
• 43:32
  Speaker 12: No.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: I mean the Rangers built their first World Series team
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: with the trade of the Braves Mark to Sheriff. Yes,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: and they got four key players who were on the
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: part of that World Series that als Anders was a
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: short stop. I mean it was a key player for
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: them for a long long time.
• 43:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it hurt, you know, initially the trade Mark to Sheriff.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: But that's what made them, you know, the team that
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: they were.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they never boot to share though. You should cheer.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: You should cheer Mark that he didn't want to re sign,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: and you got those guys back for it.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Think you think they did boom Mark to Cher when

  Speaker 15: Here's the pitch on the ground, ball back off Hater's

• 45:37
  Speaker 15: middle by Brandon Nimmo. Hayter just missed it. Had he

  Speaker 2: Big tiel media days.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for a decade, long time.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: For a long time. I've never been to the SEC
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: one you know of Eventually they'll bring it back to
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Texas and I'll go, you know, because now you know
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: we've got enough.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Well we got the Longhorns now and Oklahoma's close enough.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: And Oklahoma's close enough, so now you can put you
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: know that Arkansas, Oklahoma, A and M in Texas will
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: if they do it in Dallas and Las Colinas where
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: we used to go to Big twelve media days, people
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: will show up.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: I even went to Southwest Conference Media Days.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: So I remember when they came here. That was my
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: first and only one time that they brought the caravan here.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: So one year, this was probably early nineties, they had
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: it in Las Colinas. South was Conference Media Days, and
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Homer Jacobs and I were down at the Galas and
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Day News and so we came up, or one of
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: us would come up every year, and Southwest Airlines was
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: sponsoring the meal after the media right, and so randomly
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: end up sitting at a table and they said, hey,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: check underneath your chair at each table, there's a voucher
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: for free Southwest Air Airlines pass anywhere, and so I
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: want it, and that was I just want Memori. I
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: don't want anything. So it was like shocking that I
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: want it, And so I think I used it to
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: fly to see an A and M game.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: There you go. Mine was in Kansas City. I went up,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: uh to Kansas City.
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: Kansas City. I was always there for for the basketball term.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I went went up there. It was a
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: great trip. Bo Carter got me and Cese and Tim
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: and uh probably John Werner tickets to the Royals cool,
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: which are real easy to get because they were terrible.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: But it was Bucko Henry Jersey T shirt Jersey Night.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: So I still have a Bucko Henry T shirt. And
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: I love Bucko Henry. I mean, that's a guy that
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: was just a baseball life for a wonderful guy.
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: I'm a big George Brett fan. Yeah, I love George Brett.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: So but I'm sitting in there and we're about to
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: have dinner. I look out and Mike Leach is at
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: the bar across the street from the hotel by himself,
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: and then he comes over to come to dinner with
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: all the other coaches of the media.
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: That's doesn't surprise me.
• 50:22
  Speaker 15: No, it did not.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: It did not, And that's when it's when Leach was
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: beating the crud out of the Haggies all the time.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: So it was kind of like, well, there's a old
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: lumpy over there. And then it turned out to be
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: an institution.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, he used to back in the days
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: when I was doing previews for athlon, and I'm doing
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: for A and M Texas, Baylor and Texas Tech, so
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: all four Texas schools. I was doing the stuff for
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: athlon until uh Mac came into Texas and said, no,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't want an Aggie rider covering Tech fair enough,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: but text tech never never mind it. So Mike Leach
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: had arranged through their sports information department to talk to
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Mike here.
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: So Mike would always leave me a message at three am.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Call twelve Man Foundation office three am and leave me
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: a message. And the messages were always fantastic. And he said, Hey, Rusty,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: it's Mike Leaks calling you back. I wanted to order
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: some season tickets at three twelve Man Foundation and he said,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: just got one request. I want to be put right
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: next to a really pretty co ed because I want
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: to score when the Aggie score, and I wanted the
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: guy with the big sword next to me because you.
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: Know how I like pirates.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: That was so good and that is awesome.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Then another year he goes it was right after the
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: secret newsletter right came out and he calls and he said, Hey,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: it's Mike Leach, call me back setting up interviews.
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: I just want to know if it's going to be
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: on the record, because I know how you Aggie's like secrets. Well,
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: good stuff is this league.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: There'll be some fireworks obviously with Kiffin, you know, being
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: at LSU, and there'll be a lot of people in
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: the press that really maybe this will be the first
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: time they get a chance to talk to them in
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: the big room. We saw the consternation last week in Texas.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Tech wanted to talk to the commissioner. They had one
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: of their reporters that was just really upset, you know,
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: and use his chance in the big room to ask
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: a question that kind of went nowhere. I don't think
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: the SEC commissioner is going to have that, but Lame Mike.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: He might have to talk to some Mississippi media that
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: he hadn't talked to since he left out.
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's interesting.
• 52:41
  Speaker 15: Did you hear what.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Paul Finbaum said about the previous LSU coach.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: No, well, what's Kelly? Brod Kelly?
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, broke Kelly.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: So he was at some media event this weekend. He
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: said he used to speaking to Brian Kelly for twenty
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: minutes each week. He would said, I'd rather have had
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: a colonoscopy on TV than have to do that again.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, dude, can you be any more harsh
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: than that?
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: Man, that's pretty cold.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: That that is pretty cold.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: That is pretty It was out a med event, so
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: it was like, you know it's gonna get publicized.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Brian Kelly might have called him and said, hey,
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: I got a colonosky. I can arrange for you. I'll
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: do it. Obviously the Aggies, Uh, there is expectation, but
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: it's on a year where you had as many drafted
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: guys as you've had in a long, long time. This
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: can be a really interesting year. I've seen the over under.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: I saw some on the ESPN about teams that were
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: that that were had really good years last year that
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: are falling back at A and M in Oklahoma where
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: I think to eight and a half win through the
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: Aggies and seven and a half for Oklahoma just based
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: on who they were losing and that they have to
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: play the long Horns.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: Well, but Michael go has proven then he's a great
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: evaluator of talent. And you know, the guys that he
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: got out of the portal will see what kind of
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: impact they have. A lot of those guys that got
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: drafted were guys that got out of the portal, and so.
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: Let's see.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: You know, that's gonna be the nature of college football
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: moving forward. Obviously college back, all college sports is like
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: who can you get out of the portals year to year?
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: You really don't know.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, I read something I can't remember where Texa,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: A and M had the ninth toughest schedule in the nation.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: But there was only one school that wasn't an SEC.
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: School had top ten.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: That's Ohio State, Like they had one of those kids,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: right because they found a longhorse too, and this year
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: they play in Austin, right, So yeah, anyway, so they
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: were the only ones out of that top ten that
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: were not from the SEC.
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: And that's just the nature of the SEC. So I
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: would hate it.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: I would hate, hate, hate to see and him fall
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: back to eight and four. I think they they needed
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: to at least be nine wins because you just want
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: to see Elko continue to elevate the program.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Because nine wins may get you in the playoffs. You
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: never know, certainly may. I still I don't think we're
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: at the point where an eight win team goes, but
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: it's probably right around the court. Sooner or later.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, the the Aggies are going to beat the
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: long Horse. I mean it's it's especially in conversation.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: My brother just got to see the Astros beat the Rage.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Raiders beat the Astro. So you're exactly right.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Someday that worm turns.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Well, that's like him being at the stadium, I mean
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: if he watches game, No, him being in attendance.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: And we've almost seen an Astro game every year for at.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Least the last decade, whether you're there or not, or
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: your bros there or not. Sooner or later, as they
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: need to beat the long Horse exactly.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Hey, rest, I appreciate it. Uh, that's a great show.
