00:00Garrett Crochet, what do you have to say for yourself?
00:02You know, we're about to go home, and I expect us to have a better response once we get there,
00:06especially with an off day to really sit on these tough times.
00:10But, you know, today I felt like we made the adjustment ultimately.
00:13It was me that kind of screwed the game up for us.
00:16You know what? Their problem last year?
00:18The batters struck out a ton and they couldn't field the baseball.
00:21You know what their problem was?
00:22The first six games of the season?
00:24They're striking out a lot.
00:25They struck out 38 times in these three games.
00:2713 times yesterday.
00:29That's a lot.
00:29And you know what?
00:30Ground ball, 1-1 game, first inning, ground ball that you probably could have taken your hand
00:35and rolled it out to Trevor Story with two outs.
00:38Story comes in and misses it.
00:41It goes right through him.
00:42It into left field, and the Astros have a 2-1 lead.
00:45I mean, they can't field the baseball.
00:48They can't hit the baseball.
00:50And because they strike out a ton, they're not moving runners over.
00:53And you know what?
00:54They don't have any way to create easy runs.
00:56They don't have that big guy in the middle of the lineup with one swing
00:59to bring you at least one run, if not more.
01:01So not a good start.
01:04It's very early.
01:05As I'm sure Tom Caron will tell us in the 8 o'clock hour, it's really, really early.
01:10But if you start a season 1-7, 1-8, 1-9.
01:15No, you can't.
01:16If you win 1-5, that means you lost two series and you got swept in one.
01:19No, it's not a good way to start off.
01:22You go by series, and then you go by weeks.
01:25So even I, who, you know, you can't sweat week to week, or you can't sweat game to game,
01:31but you can't.
01:33Ideally, obviously, this is all very obvious, but you want to win a series, fine.
01:37You didn't.
01:38But you can't lose weeks.
01:40Like, right.
01:40Because if you start doing the math of losing weeks, it really puts you behind the 8 ball.
01:46Then in May and June, you got to play, like, 650-700 baseball to get yourself back in it.
01:51Exactly.
01:51This team is not a dominant team.
01:531-5 is not a good way to start.
01:55I'm with you there.
01:56It's even 2-4.
02:00You're, like, just 1-5.
02:02No, you put yourself in a little bit of a hole.
02:05You just got to turn it around quick now.
02:08You know, if you stick around 500, you don't have to make any crazy run.
02:12Like, you got to win the Astros series.
02:15Dude, San Diego's not a bad team.
02:17Or San Diego this weekend.
02:18That's the team that's coming in this weekend.
02:19Right.
02:20You kind of got to win that series.
02:21I mean, it's not, you don't have to, but it would be a lot easier if you didn't.
