02:39let's let's go get brady's replacement man enough to let it become an issue in new england that's the
02:44guy that's running the deal over there i mean that i mean i'm worried for john mcclain this this is
02:49not
02:50i mean this is not as you think it's got leg you think hell yeah i do you think you
02:54think you think
02:55there is there is legit action on the table that we that we may see john mcclain ass naked
03:00absolutely and john and john again now i don't know if we'll see him naked he may be put in
03:04a
03:04place where he needs to live up to his bed and remember you guys ever wore thong i'm wearing one
03:07right now and he said rush hour so he gave a specific time see john could have got away with
03:12and walked out there at 1 a.m and i could do it at midnight if he wanted to kirby's
03:16gonna be busy
03:16especially that night it's gonna be there ain't no doubt i will i will do another radio fine i will
03:24do a a john mcclain butt ass naked on kirby radio all night long do you think john could put
03:30on a
03:30thong and you and you would see it yeah if it's tight enough you think i think so i think
03:36you can
03:36sneak it through the bat from the backside yeah you think oh yeah yeah booger butt
03:45booger butt all right hey um john i'm worried for you man you're good you're good john i think um
03:54hey man yiner diaz needs to this this is this is a i think a real big talking point of
04:02the offseason
04:02obviously we'd understand that you know the crowded infield situation d8 situation what are they going
04:09to do that outfield looks disgusting what are they going to do josh hater as a closer his injury
04:15situation uh that bullpen what are they going to do but i i do think yiner diaz is a big
04:23a big big deal
04:25and a big bounce back candidate and somebody they need clint there's a lot of things that hurt this
04:31team that allowed them to kind of blow that lead late against the mariners and then the mariners
04:37overtook them and they didn't make the playoffs one of those that's right up there is throughout
04:42all those injuries that you could not control
04:47yiner diaz's issues last year and his drop-off really hurt the team especially with all those
04:53guys out and this was a dude you remember this tyler clint this was a dude that was a middle
05:00of the
05:00bat guy and i'm talking about a couple of years ago when they went to the to the to the
05:08alcs and
05:09they ran through the twins and he was a middle of the bat guy when dusty was here and then
05:14the next
05:14year he finished in the top three of the silver slug award for catchers this is a middle of the
05:19back
05:19guy you remember them times when he was batting in maldi spot well you remember them times it was
05:24that it just became a thing that jake myers hit above yiner diaz like that drop-off was not his
05:33slash line two years ago when he was a top three in the silver slugger 299 325 441 last year
05:41256 and
05:43that was with a climb in the second half at some point 256 284 on on base from 325 284
05:53that's why he
05:53had to hit ninth and 417 i mean like that was they they desperately need him to pick it up
06:02that that
06:03is a big major piece because that dude was supposed to be one of the guys that you depended on
06:07to be
06:08one of your next young guys it was it was you got your dime you got at the time kyle
06:14tucker you got
06:14yiner coming on they had to bat him nine yeah that he's got that that is that is one to
06:22watch well you
06:22got you got to think about it think about it run the the the the interesting thing about yiner diaz
06:26is
06:26he's got a he's got a rake at the plate in order to in order to be your everyday catcher
06:31because
06:31defensively it is a nightmare yeah i mean deep and we didn't even get to deep i mean he is
06:37leaving
06:37so much to be desired defensively that offensively if he's not tearing the cover off the ball i don't
06:42know how you justify not having a veteran a caratini that that more than to back up catcher a guy
06:50that
06:50is you can you can it's a veteran that you can rely on that's got a clutch bath that can
06:54that can hit
06:55from both sides like a guy like that behind him right now they got salazar behind him right now the
07:00opportunity has never been more more wide open for yiner diaz to to supplant himself as as at least
07:07for the foreseeable future the the everyday catcher for the astros but i mean he's got i mean i don't
07:13know i heard either either joe espada or or or uh um dana brown one of them i heard him
07:20talking about
07:20this is it yannick or janik or how the hell you say the catch name the prospect catcher sam houston
07:25i think
07:25he played at sam houston but talking about how a a defensive i mean just an absolute monster on the
07:31defensive side don't forget we won a lot of games with with maldonado who was who was hitting around
07:37at 100 mark wasn't he yeah i mean so but that lineup is not as long as it was yeah
07:42and they need diaz
07:43like no they need him desperately but what i'm saying is if but he it ain't i don't think this
07:48ain't just a
07:48need this is one of those where if you continue trending in the wrong direction i don't know that
07:53there's not a big move to be made to bring somebody in to take a lot of your at bats
07:56or
07:57there's not a move to be made with a younger guy to see what this guy brings to the table
08:01if he's
08:01great defensively right i mean it is i think it's a lot more interesting maybe than than we're giving
08:06it we're giving it credit yeah they yeah they uh yeah they he's he's got it he's got to flip
08:12the
08:12switch that that that was one of the biggest surprises his his step back and he just never seemed
08:18like he got it back and like again you could but you're right the defense is pathetic he's got to
08:25be better than that right like he he's got to be there but man you could you could take it
08:29a little
08:30bit if he was if he was swinging a pat yeah like he like he was he was playing that
08:35defense and bat
08:36ninth yeah there are many times we're like hey man put victor caratini back there no question
08:41salazar put him back there so you might get your wish on salazar he's gonna get a little run unless
08:46they make a move yeah yeah he's gonna get a little run but yeah yiner diaz is is uh he
08:51he is a big
08:52i think ron that's the biggest wild card for the astros right now no yeah i think it's bigger than
08:56the pitch he completely changes the lineup oh yeah if he's if he is back to the guy that was
09:03smashing the ball 26 home runs his first but but he not only that ron he turned around and you
09:08remember when when jeremy pina clearly made a switch at the plate where he was a lot more disciplined
09:13yeah i mean diaz was right there with him diaz was well yeah both of them yeah they're both coming
09:20right they're both making the adjustments and they're both like hey man these dudes got these
09:22dudes are figuring they're starting to figure it out they're starting to be big league hitters not
09:25just free swingers and look jeremy pina never slowed down he kept on trending in that direction
09:31it's just like all of a sudden whatever yiner did the seeing more pitches for yiner diaz and and
09:36and the the the make whatever adjustments they made at the plate has not has not worked out well for
09:41him
09:42yeah yeah yeah whatever that is and but that the other part is he was struggling not being able to
09:49to take pitches all the time yeah but he still was swinging he's i mean still get what's better than
09:54that like he he struggled mightily last year just never could could get it going again
