00:00Ben, give this man a ding.
00:03Give him a ding right now.
00:05Seth Payne, he called it.
00:06And that was just part of the deluge.
00:08That was only three of the eight runs from yesterday.
00:11I called it.
00:12You called it.
00:13Dang it.
00:13I called my shot.
00:14You called it.
00:15And I was sitting here spewing stats of futility offensively for the Astros over the weekend.
00:20Yeah.
00:2011 of their last 18 games.
00:22That wasn't even the weekend.
00:23That's been the month.
00:2411 of their last 18 games, two or fewer runs.
00:27The Angels and the Rockies, two of the worst pitching teams in the sport.
00:32And they're putting together 12 runs in six games against two of the worst pitching teams.
00:38And Seth Payne had the courage to stand on his podium yesterday, to get up on his soapbox and say,
00:43there will be a deluge today, Sean.
00:45Yes.
00:46And a deluge there was.
00:47Part of it was, Sean, frankly, they were five for 42 on this homestand with runners in scoring position.
00:55Which is a bad stat.
00:56Yeah.
00:56And yet, they were getting runners in scoring position.
01:00So unless you think the team is full of a bunch of yellow-bellied cowards who shrink in the moment,
01:08which maybe there's a little bit, that at some point the floodgates were going to open.
01:13It was nice to see them do it versus that treacherous Kikuchi.
01:17And him fleeing the opportunity for greatness, chasing cash.
01:23Yep.
01:23Like these modern professional athletes.
01:27I have no animosity in my heart for Kikuchi.
01:29And collegiate athletes as well.
01:32Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:33No, I have no animosity for Kikuchi.
01:35I didn't realize that Correa had entered the game 12 for 24 in his career against Kikuchi.
01:40And I didn't know that Urias...
01:41I had no idea until you just said it.
01:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:45Urias was, as Callis mentioned, what did he say?
01:48He only hits home runs.
01:49He has four hits.
01:51Going into that at-bat, he had four hits against Kikuchi.
01:53Three of them were home runs, and then he hits another home run.
01:56So he's at four now.
01:57And seven strikeouts.
01:58He was all or nothing versus Kikuchi.
02:00But he hits a home run and a double yesterday, plus another strikeout.
02:03So he kind of kept in line with what he's done against Kikuchi in the past.
02:08Yeah.
02:08And then that was...
02:10Jose Altuve's home run was the third or fourth hardest hit he's had in the StatCast era.
02:16Wow.
02:17Because he hit a double pretty hard yesterday, too.
02:20Yeah, maybe the double was.
02:21One of those two was the hardest hit.
02:23Yeah.
02:23The double was a rope, man.
02:25Like, he smoked that thing down the line.
02:27Either way, yeah, Altuve good yesterday.
02:30Yeah, and he boinked the home run off the foul pole.
02:32So everybody got Chick-fil-A, I guess, right?
02:34Is that...
02:34Oh, that's right.
02:34Yes.
02:35Yeah, so there was...
02:35That was a really good day.
02:37Well, and the Angels almost hit that one just off.
02:42That one in the...
02:44Oh, it was late in the game, right?
02:45It was just shy of the Chick-fil-A sign there to left.
02:49And it was a foul ball.
02:50Oh, yeah.
02:51It hit, like, the little corner right there near the...
02:53Yeah, the base of the wall.
02:54I don't know if you get...
02:54Chick-fil-A got a lot of free publicity.
02:56Yeah, yeah.
02:56They're paying for it, but, you know, yesterday they got a lot of publicity.
02:59I don't know.
02:59Do opponent home runs?
03:00I don't think we get fed with opponent home runs.
03:03No, no, no, no.
03:03I was just thinking about notable things that happened at that foul ball.
03:06I'm just thinking about getting fed.
03:07I just want Chick-fil-A right now.
03:08Yeah, that would be the dumbest promotion ever.
03:10Yeah.
03:11Well, I guess it would be, like, a consolation Chick-fil-A.
03:13Yeah, whatever.
03:13Yeah.
03:14Yeah.
03:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:15So how are you feeling today, man?
03:16How are you doing?
03:16I feel good.
03:23Yeah, no, we came in with a little baseball I'm just checking on you.
03:25See how you're doing?
03:25You're doing good?
03:26Why are you asking how I feel?
03:28What's going on?
03:29Do I look bad?
03:30No, you look great, actually.
03:31That nice white long-sleeved tee really accentuates things.
03:34No, you're doing good.
03:35Doing good.
