00:00I'm really, really worried about Houston. I am very worried, almost to the point of panic.
00:06You know, we talked about this a little bit before the season, that the Astros are one of
00:11those teams that could really take a step back if things didn't go right. And you look at the
00:16picture there, you have Jose Altuve, feel how about him, how you want, he's probably a Hall
00:21of Famer. Carlos Correa, one of those guys, maybe in the end a Hall of Famer, but both
00:26very high-level careers, incredible for Houston, winning a World Series. But at the end of
00:32their career, they're not even on the back nine, Donnie. They're on the final three holes
00:36of their career. And then you have their best pitcher, who I think could miss a lot of the
00:41season in Hunter Brown. And then you have Amai, who's not comfortable. Donnie, I got to tell
00:46you from all perspectives, fantasy, reality, even sports betting, I think Houston's going
00:52to lose a lot of games, man. I think this could be a disastrous season for the Houston
00:59Astros. I'm really, really worried. I think by the time we do the show next week, it could
01:04be panic. They could be, you know, maybe altering the roster, altering the management. A lot
01:10of things I think could change. And by the way, let me say this before I turn it over to
01:13you. Yeah, nothing wrong with that. They've had an incredible run, man, like 10 years of
01:18being one of the best teams in baseball. It's okay if they stink. The problem is, I don't
01:24think that they thought that they were going to stink going into the year.
01:27It's panic at the disco for me over here, Craig, on this team, because I, now granted,
01:32when we talk about handicap in the season, I love this stuff. If you're going to struggling
01:35pitchers here, and you have a lineup that can actually do some damage here, I like the
01:39prospects of betting them on a day-to-day basis. But the future though, Craig, laundry list
01:43on the IEL for these pitchers. And then I said, well, who is going to be their starting
01:47staff now? Mike Burroughs, yeah, 6.55 ERA. Spencer Arrighetti, okay, let's see what he
01:52can do. Lance McCullers, remember that great start to start the season? Where's that been?
01:56He's close to a 6 ERA. I'm panicked, full panicked over this pitching staff, Craig, because as you
02:01know as well as I do, when you start the season and your pitchers are already like, hey, dead
02:05arm with shoulder impingements all over the place, it doesn't tend to get any better.
