00:00You more interested, or would you be, I mean, now with the injury,
00:03I don't think you have a choice, but would you,
00:05is it a step up for you to go, okay,
00:08what has Eric Getty in France got versus, boy, let's see another outing
00:14from Christian Javier and see if he can get out of this funk,
00:18which, by the way, remember, this wasn't just a funk for Christian Javier.
00:21Y'all can miss me with the early season.
00:23It's a long season thing.
00:24I mean, my man couldn't find a strike zone.
00:26He couldn't miss a barrel.
00:27He looks like he was frustrated.
00:30I mean, it was not just a, well, he struggled a bit.
00:32It was wheels coming off bad for what looked like a third consecutive time.
00:36But, Tyler, for you, knowing what we know about Eric Getty
00:39and knowing these are guys that we've seen compete in that 4-5 spot before,
00:43are you as a fan more apt to get excited about those two guys
00:46versus if you were to be able to see more of Christian Javier?
00:49I think the short answer is I think so, ultimately.
00:53Like those other young guys not named Javier, I think so.
00:57No, but it is tough, man, because I feel like I'm going back and forth
01:00as we've been discussing this lately in my own head
01:02because not only understanding that Christian Javier is the highest-paid individual
01:08on the pitching staff for this Houston Astros squad
01:11and understanding what goes into that, decisions are made,
01:13and then also knowing, like I've mentioned a hundred times,
01:16Javier, at his peak, at his best, wearing an Astros uniform,
01:20had some of the nastiest stuff we've seen from the mound.
01:23I mean that.
01:24The dude was sick from the bump there for a while.
01:27He was great in the postseason.
01:28He came up from either the bullpen as a guy that piggybacked or even start.
01:34Yes.
01:35Yeah, so I gave you the short answer to begin,
01:38but the long-winded-ass answer is, man, it's tough for me,
01:41but I think I'd prefer to see what we're working with now with Eric Getty and France.
01:45Oh, I'm there, boys.
01:47And you can even add Jason Alexander.
01:48I mean, I was on the verge of it anyway, but I'm there.
01:51I mean, as an Astros fan, I'm more excited of what Spencer Eric Getty
01:55could bring to the table right now than seeing if Christian Javier can get this thing right.
02:02I think Jason Alexander, I'll add him to the mix.
02:05I think that's probably pushing it a bit.
02:07JP France may even be pushing it a bit.
02:10Well, he's coming.
02:10Oh, no, I know he's coming, but I'm just talking about from my fan perspective,
02:13my excitement level, I may be getting a little out over my skis,
02:16if I'm being honest, that those guys are turning me on.
02:19But Spencer Eric Getty, I've always, he's always let me down.
02:23I mean, I say always is a long time, but since I've known who Spencer Eric Getty is,
02:27I just feel like there's something there.
02:28I just feel like there's, and it's not obviously Hunter Brown type vibe,
02:32but I feel like with Spencer Eric Getty, there is definitely a three, four,
02:39five starter role on this team.
02:42Like, that's in there for him.
02:43He can help this team in a major way, and I could get really stoked about him
02:47being the number three starter for a team, or the number four starter for a team,
02:50a guy that we rely on in a seven-game series that you need to give you some
02:53innings kind of deal.
02:54I've just always felt that Spencer brings that to the table as a fan,
02:58and I'm more excited about seeing that than what Christian Javier can do.
03:03I don't know.
03:03I don't like, like to me, Ron, when we hear somebody's changed their mechanics
03:12due to injury or due to poor performance, whatever it may be,
03:15like if the next time I see you, it's not like an obvious improvement,
03:22that is a hard, that's a hard, that's a hard reality for me to buy into.
03:29Like right now, Major League Baseball, coming off of an injury,
03:33you've tweaked some things, whether it's because of the injury
03:35or to put less torque on your arm, and then we as fans are going to watch you
03:40go out there and just get beat around the ballpark
03:42and not be able to hit those strikes.
03:43Like that, if it's not, like if it's not nails right away, like, boy,
03:47he tweaked something, and it is, it is, wow, right?
03:50I don't know that it's ever going to come around, and so I'm going to,
03:53I just, I feel better about this.
03:56Again, setting the Hunter Brown injury aside,
04:00I obviously don't feel better about that.
04:02That's crippling.
04:03But the others, I feel really good about the guys that we're going to see.
04:07Starting with game one in Seattle versus Seattle is obviously with him.
04:15He still gets me good and turned on to watch.
04:19Yeah, this is, and we'll talk a lot more about it tomorrow
04:23as we're going to the weekend.
04:24This is a big series, right?
04:26It's a four-game series.
04:27In Seattle, it's not off to a great start.
04:29They're 4-9, and obviously we know how this road trip has been for the Astros.
04:36This is kind of a bigger series here early for these two teams.
04:39Well, we'll see how it goes, and we'll let you know
04:42when they announce the game three and four starter for the Astros.
04:44Obviously, we know that as an Astros fan,
04:47it's good to watch MI and then McCullers back-to-back.
04:51That's more than just a game.
04:53That's fun to watch and see if they can string another, you know,
04:57consecutive starts together that are quality starts.
05:02The Masters is going on right now.
05:03John, we're keeping you updated as we go along here.
05:08And right now, McElroy's leading minus five.
05:11Him and Burns are both at five under, and they're both finished for the day.
05:15So they got some big hitters that have just made the turn
05:19and are playing on the back right now.
05:21We'll keep you up to date on that.
05:22I don't know if y'all saw this.
05:23Yesterday, we talked about Roy McElroy's Masters dinner.
05:27Did y'all see my boy John Daly put out his?
05:29No.
05:30I miss that.
05:31Oh, my boy John Daly served in honor of Mr. John Daly.
05:35All right.
05:37French fries with Mama Lou's daily season.
05:42That's his mom, by the way.
05:43Rest in peace.
05:44We're leading off with French fries?
05:45We're leading off with French fries, man.
05:47Ice cold Diet Coke.
05:49Come on, man.
05:50Ice cold Diet Coke.
05:51Gross.
05:52All right.
05:52Diet Coke.
05:53Yes.
05:53Diet Coke is so gross.
05:54I never understood how everyone loves it.
05:56Long conversation at the dinner last night with him.
05:59All right.
06:00McDonald's double cheeseburger.
06:01No pickles, by the way.
06:02No pickles.
06:02Come on.
06:03I hate pickles.
06:04Double cheeseburger, though.
06:05You down with that?
06:06McDonald's double cheeseburger.
06:07McDonald's onions on those particular sandwiches, those dehydrated onions or whatever, or whatever
06:14they are, those little small ones.
06:16Slivered onions.
06:17I don't love them.
06:17I don't love them.
06:19I don't know that John has a deal with Diet Coke or McDonald's, but the next one, it's
06:25self-promotion.
06:26Good Boy Vodka John Daly Canned Cocktail.
06:29Vodka, tea, lemonade, right?
06:31You knew that had to be in there somewhere, right?
06:32I'm waiting for Hooters, right?
06:33Yeah.
06:33Come on, man.
06:34Hooters chicken wings with buttermilk ranch.
06:38That's a good plan.
06:39I'm going to tell y'all that I can still taste Hooters wings.
06:42And they are paying him.
06:44Yeah, they are.
06:45He's in the parking lot right now signing stuff.
06:47They've got some high quality ranch as well.
06:49Well, it's buttermilk ranch according to JD, so.
06:51I like that spicy garlic from Hooters.
06:53He threw in a little, uh, right before we get to dessert here, we're going garlic mashed
06:58potatoes.
06:59Don't know why the mashed potatoes get thrown in after the wings, but, but apparently he's
07:02a big mashed tater guy.
07:03With the fries.
07:04Garlic mashed potatoes are good.
07:05All right.
07:06Chocolate molten lava for dessert.
07:09Solid.
07:09Solid.
07:10I'm with you on that.
07:11I do like the molten lava aspect.
07:13It's fine.
07:14I like, I like the puck style dessert with some, some kind of liquid inside inside of
07:18it.
07:19Caramel fudge, whatever it may be.
07:21All right.
07:21And he's going to top all that off with, uh, a Marlboro red Marlboro red special select.
07:27He's going to smoke him old heater out in the, out in the parking lot.
07:29There's that's on the menu.
07:31That's on.
07:32That's at the bottom of the menu is what he's wrapping it up with.
07:34That's a real Marlboro reds.
07:37And cowboy killers.
07:38What's wrong with him, man?
07:40It's great.
07:41That really wasn't bad, but the, the Diet Coke and McDonald's burger.
07:44That's, that's awful.
07:45Look at the picture of him.
07:47I mean, what do you, hold on.
07:48You come out of it from the McDonald's burger and the, and the, so the Marlboro you're fine
07:53with that, like that one.
07:55Yeah.
07:55It makes you feel less full from how I understand it.
07:58I'm going to tell you, man, the, the, uh, that's the number one on my list that I'm out
08:02of, as much as, well, as much as I hate, I hate the inside smoke for the record bars.
08:08It don't matter where it's at.
08:09I know it's illegal now in most, most, most establishments, but yeah, in all seriousness,
08:13y'all know, I hate cigarette smoke.
08:15Well, I hate the inside smoker, man.
08:18It, that's, that's a, that's rough for me.
08:20That's, that's tough.
08:21That's, that's a tough one for me to accept is in places.
08:24Right.
08:25Um, but I've got a great, I mean, a, a extremely high level of appreciation.
08:33For the, the, the, the outdoor parking lot smoke.
08:37Why do you, why do you have such an appreciation?
08:40I just do.
08:40I think there's, I mean, it's my boy cap is my boy cap is a, I'm going to step outside
08:44and smoke a cigarette.
08:45He disappears at every dinner.
08:46I don't, that's why I don't like it.
08:48I, I, I got a couple, I got a couple mama.
08:51I got a couple of friends that bounce outside and bounce.
08:54And I hate it when it's just the two of us and I'm, I'm sitting there just, I'm
08:57just sitting there outside with them.
08:59You got, that's my point.
09:00I'm not going out there with them.
09:01I'm going to tell you, some of cap's, some of cap's best work.
09:05He was outside smoking a cigarette.
09:08I believe it.
09:09Is he holding court out there?
09:10I mean, he, I, one of the, one of the scary, somebody sent me a picture after my
09:13wedding.
09:14Apparently everybody was a brunch wedding.
09:15Everybody went somewhere.
09:16I don't know.
09:17I know this story.
09:18And, and somebody sent me a picture from around the corner of cap in the parking lot
09:21talking to boss ladies, man.
09:23He was smoking a cigarette.
09:24Now I'm not, I don't know if she got a drag or not.
09:25If I know boss ladies, she probably did.
09:27I'm stepping out of that.
09:28But, but, but the, the thing is, I thought, I thought, Oh my God, what is he doing?
09:33What?
09:34If anybody can get me fired, it's in my life.
09:37It's at one.
09:38Anybody else.
09:39And this was in his drinking days, but he was outside in that parking lot of smoke and
09:42talking to Sarah Frazier.
09:43I'm like, cap didn't know who's going to be.
09:45I had, but all you had was a picture.
09:47Somebody could walk over there to stop it.
09:49Oh no, I wasn't there.
09:50There was no, there was nothing.
09:51The scary thing is what I would have called him immediately.
09:54What, what in the hell was that conversation about?
09:58What is that?
09:58What is that conversation about?
10:00I need to know.
10:01I need to know what the hell was said in there.
10:03And I bet you he'll probably be like, I can't remember.
10:05Well, that was during his drinking days.
10:06So he may not, we may need to call boss lady and figure that out.
10:09I'd like to see.
10:09And he was stuttering so much.
10:10Boss lady probably didn't understand.
10:12So she was trying to leave.
