00:02yeah that that's a real false 51st dates happen after big daddy i mean that's
00:08i take chuck and larry over 51st dates god come on man those are pretty close for me those two
00:1450 oh get out of here that's not no it's not don't miss no don't mess with the zone in
00:21not that
00:22underrated underrated film i might watch that tonight it's been years just go with it strong
00:28too uh but uh oh yes and gray boobies what was her name decker brooklyn decker that's her she's no
00:37aniston but she has she fizzled out quick she is yeah um she did i think she was
00:47who is she who was she with wasn't she with somebody she was andy roddick i'd be wrong you
00:53made i just remember mandy moore and andy roddick that's what i remember oh man that's that's when
00:58he won that u.s open in 99 i remember andy roddick and mandy moore it was either him or
01:05andre agas
01:05it wasn't andre don't put that on him steffy steffy's crazy now i've heard yeah she's been
01:12married to roddick since 2009 really hell of a pull luke both of them fell off i mean i forget
01:18those boobies he's probably got some spots those boobies i'll have you remembering their spells
01:22i do want to get to the astros real quick um and what they've lost but someone text in
01:29uh they love the show i wanted to say that but they said i'm simply saying it's too early to
01:35say
01:35that tank's injury was career altering if the texans and tank manage it properly it doesn't have to be
01:42significant yes career altering let's wait and see before assuming the worst i'm tired of hearing
01:47too early with all this astros texans i don't know if it i don't know if it's did you say
01:53you
01:53must you must it could be career i mean it was career altering i mean he's missed a year plus
01:59i was
01:59about to say we're going on two years it ain't too early he's missed a year plus um yeah i
02:05mean this is
02:06a situation i mean the astros i mean the texans are going to do everything they can and i'm sure
02:10have done everything right with this situation it is just it is it is probably and i think what
02:18i don't mean to put words in your mouth luke but i think it's it's probably more likely that he
02:25is not the same dude that he was and his game was predicated on such quickness and in and out
02:32of
02:32breaks which was his superpower as a receiver and we'll see if it comes back we have seen some
02:40nasty injuries and guys you know you know play a certain level i mean age has something to do
02:47with it but i mean i think nick chubb is the one that comes to mind of how gruesome it
02:52was and i
02:52think clearly he has lost a step but you could argue age is in there too but yeah i mean
02:57it's
02:58it's a i think it's a fair wonder if he is going to be close to what he was i
03:06think so i some some
03:08listeners were pushing back i think it was the same listener that you referenced who earlier was
03:11pushing back on my rg3 comparison that i said earlier and that's the idea of what you just laid
03:16out not the exact they're not the same injuries i'm not even talking about how the teams are
03:21handling it washington might not have handled rg3 the best but i'm talking about how the players are
03:26impacted by those injuries where rg3 a big part of his game was being mobile and quick and running
03:32around then you suffer a big injury like that and it takes away that strength and that would be a
03:36concern for me too with tank dell that that it alters the best part about his game and i think
03:42it's a safe bet to bet on things being different after this injury than him coming back and being
03:48completely the same and i get you know being hopeful and wanting the best for him i want the best
03:52for
03:53him too but i'm also trying to be realistic that i you know cecil short said he suffered a similar
03:58injury and it ended his career so not everyone comes back from this injury let alone just returns to
04:04a hundred percent of their normal production as i've been saying all along whatever you get
04:09from him i think is gravy and i don't think you should have any sort of expectations for him
04:13after this injury i hope i'm proven wrong and he plays to a pro bowl level but i think it's
04:18it's
04:18crazy to to believe that he's going to come back and be this big time receiver after all this
04:23yeah i miss talking to cecil shorts me too he's a great guest great friend he's good he's good
04:31great to talk football with shout out to him led me to my barber shout out to cecil it's a
04:35shame
04:36it's almost almost led me almost led me to my church i went a different direction though
04:40no not the barber luke i'll tell you later i feel like maybe i could have worded that differently
04:46went a different direction in the church sorry about that cecil if you're listening um congrats on
04:54the gig coach it is yeah head coach um when did this happen fellas when did the astros lose their
05:02boogeyman advantage they had when did that occur because i don't want to push it this far tyler
05:13but the the seattle mariners are getting real close to the we are their daddies situation right
05:21now you know last night that was eight straight eight straight eight straight times the mariners
05:29have beaten the astros including the large series at the end of last year that really propelled
05:36the mariners into winning the al west last year and getting to the postseason
05:40but they've won eight straight and it seemed like all the teams in the al west
05:49like kind of cowered to the to the astros just i there were times luke and tyler i felt like
05:58they
05:58beat the the rangers before the game started i just felt like they were like the rangers oh
06:04they're they're they're so tense and and they they lose and it felt like it was that way with the
06:10a's
06:11the angels they haven't even really been playing baseball but it felt like that it was that way
06:16with the with the mariners too in the postseason it was that way you could tell man they they they
06:23are
06:23they cannot solve this team and they just bad things happen when they play the marriage i think
06:28are the astros i think the yankees were in that too as well over the last half decade plus
06:35but man it seems like that's gone luke it did not it does not seem like teams are concerned with
06:41having oh here come the big bad astros like like the the aura of the astros are going i don't
06:48think
06:49people want to pitch to your don but i i feel like the aura of the of the ash i
06:54think that i think it
06:54is flipped so much guys the mariners tonight when they go and play now they may not have to because
07:01they may get walked seven times but when they go out and play today they they are more inclined to
07:08think all right we know we're going to figure this out we know at some point in the later innings
07:14we're
07:14going to find ourselves to the lead we just don't know how it's going to happen but it's going to
07:19happen i don't think that used to be the thought process and that used to be one of the biggest
07:22disadvantages the astros had over the years is oh man they're they just find ways they just find
07:30ways and just frustrate teams and teams play differently because they're so they're so amped
07:36up to have to figure it out with this team and they just couldn't solve them but that is completely
07:41gone to me now it is you're right that's gone and so is the whole like pitching lab i mean
07:45they have
07:46the second worst starters era in the league only uh better than the rockies who have to deal with
07:52that ballpark so this whole idea too of like they're always going to get a good pitching performance no
07:56matter who's on the mound whoever they're throwing out there even jason alexander last year it's not
08:00happening this year and now as an opponent you look forward to playing this team uh because you get
08:05to face emi tonight and lance mccullers jr tomorrow i just don't like the way you just said that i
08:11mean
08:11that was just emi tonight and lance mccullers jr ah it's brutal somebody texted and said this
08:18happened when uh when the astros lost brinkman i think it was before that i think it's when they
08:23lost to the tigers in the playoffs in 2024 because 2024 they started out similarly to to this year
08:30they had almost an identical record as they currently do this season on this date and then they did turn
08:35it around and they made the playoffs and you thought like okay this is still the same old astros not
08:39as
08:39good as previous seasons but still that boogeyman and that team you can never count out but then
08:44they got to the playoffs and they were swept in the first round at home by their old friend aj
08:49hinch and it's like oh wait a minute this doesn't look like the same astros team and then last year
08:54wasn't the same astros team and they didn't make the run down the stretch in fact they did the opposite
08:59to your point losing those big games to the mariners and missing the postseason and the a's beat them in
09:05the season series last year and the mariners have now won eight in a row and then you look at
09:08how
09:08this season started out and this is the worst team in the american league based off of winning
09:13percentage so for me i would say the postseason there in 2024 was like when the bully finally got
09:19knocked over and you're like oh wait a minute maybe he's not as tough as he portrays um he's
09:23vulnerable now i think it's that point that's the real answer but you could also say as i said earlier
09:28and clearly it's i've made it known i'm not a fan i think it's when you hire dana brown because
09:33that's
09:33what then played into everything that has transpired since where this team went from being the team you did
09:38not want to face now the team that you're licking your chops when you face because they just they
09:43got nobody out there right now yeah text line coming in great point um you didn't even feel like
09:48muñoz was dead in the water versus your don last night and if you if you look at the ninth
09:54inning it
09:54was just it was a two-run lead and uh and altuve got on three hits last night from altuve
10:01he got on
10:01again in front of your don and at that point years past like there would be nerves and concern
10:11for muñoz the mariners there would be an uneasy feeling with oh my god this son of a bitch is
10:19coming up with the with the as the tying run well like this this dude is up
10:27nope didn't even think about it and it struck his ass out just get this out and head to the
10:32casa and
10:32the ball wasn't even it wasn't even close to the strike zone they struck him out but there but there
10:36was there was no fear from the the mariners we and your don is probably the one guy in the
10:42lineup
10:42that you're like all right man we ain't going there was no fear he went right after him with a
10:46chance
10:47to tie the game and he didn't because that boogeyman thing is just gone for the astros and i'm telling
10:55you we sat here we covered this team we watched this team go to world series we watched this team
11:00win world series we watched this team go to countless alcs's like there were certain teams where
11:07you could just see it oh they're not going to make the plays they're not going to make enough plays
11:12the astros are going to make the plays and they're intimidated right off the top
11:16that is that is gone now that is absolutely gone now it sucks to suck somebody said james click
11:25left and the boogeyman went with him that was me that was my moment was whenever they forced james
11:30click out and dana brown became the gm that's never at all that's what you both said dana brown huh
11:35you
