00:00Guilty as charged.
00:01But what should they be doing now, Clint?
00:07I know you're one of the ones who hold on the latest.
00:11Yeah, again, we are day four of Joe's got to go.
00:17And he doesn't seem like he's going.
00:19But we're day four of that.
00:22What should be the move now moving forward here?
00:25What should be the mindset with the Astros moving forward now?
00:28Well, I mean, I just want them to – I mean, you're at a point now
00:32where you've either got to believe that the bats
00:37and how well you're swinging the bats as a team overall.
00:40They just threw up five or six different stats,
00:42and the Astros are still first or second.
00:43I mean, they're still swinging them well,
00:44even though they have cooled off a bit.
00:46I mean, if you think that that can carry you and that's real
00:51and you're just a couple of moves in the pitching staff away,
00:54obviously guys getting healthy, but just a couple of moves away,
00:56then I think you've got to be all in that way.
01:00Or if you just think that, hey, this 10 games below 500,
01:04the ship is sinking and we've got to – we're just – it is what it is.
01:09It's time to start this thing over.
01:11I think you've got to make every move that you possibly could make
01:14to get as much in return as you can with aging players
01:18and superstar players.
01:20And I guess where I'm going with it is, to me, you just got to –
01:24it's time to be all in either way you go.
01:26Whatever your decision is, whichever way you're leaning,
01:29I'm not saying right now is the time to pull the trigger,
01:31but whenever that trigger needs to be pulled,
01:33you've got to be ready to go all in.
01:37Yeah.
01:38It's just –
01:39Or I guess – is it all in or all – I guess it's all in or all out.
01:41Or all out.
01:42Yeah, one of the other.
01:42One of them.
01:43But whichever direction you go, be all in on that decision is what I'm saying.
01:46You're either all in on tearing it down or all in on just doing what you can
01:50to really make this team as good as it can be to make a move.
01:55Someone text in two back-to-back texts.
01:58Dana has to go first.
02:00Joe and Dana need to go.
02:02That's to me why – go ahead.
02:04Well, I'm just – I mean, those things – I agree.
02:06I think I'm stealing your line, Ron.
02:10But, I mean, I agree with that too.
02:13I mean, if you're going to tear this thing down and they all got to go
02:16and I understand you've got a situation where who's going to make those decisions.
02:20But all of those are decisions that have to be made
02:23and moves that have to be made and shouldn't hold up what it is you're trying to do.
02:27So, you know, I don't disagree with coaches and GMs
02:33and everybody in between should be included to some degree,
02:36whether you want to get rid of them or not.
02:37To some degree, they should be evaluated and decided if you want to move on from it.
02:39That's the route you're going to go.
02:40So, my thing is it just – it feels like, to me, the situation they're in,
02:46they're in a tough situation, and I think it sucks all the way around, Clint,
02:50is like if you want them to go make a move and let's say, all right, man,
02:55we're – what are they, 11 games under .500, right?
02:59Let's go make a move and let's really add to this team.
03:03And so, when Hunter gets back and if Jeremy Pena can stay on his feet
03:06and when Hayter gets back and when all these guys come back,
03:10we go and make some moves to get guys going to make a real late run
03:14and let's do this like we did in 24 and do it like they did in 05.
03:20If you're going to do that, like for me,
03:22this team just hasn't shown me enough to just say, all right, man,
03:26I'm willing to give up assets, the few assets we have,
03:30or even whatever they have to bring on other things
03:34because it is hard to look at this and say, all right, this is a group
03:39that has shown me that they are going to be ready to make a run
03:43like those previous teams.
03:45And then the other thing, if you go all the way where you're tearing it down,
03:48that goes to the point of like, do you want the guy to make the decisions
03:54about this teardown that's not going to be here next year?
03:59That's like, that's just the, for me, like if they're going to make a run,
04:04it's got to be with these jokers out here right now.
04:08Unless they just really go off right now up against the trade deadline
04:11and then you can really see something.
04:13But they got to give Jim Crane a reason.
04:15Well, the good thing is you got a little bit of a window here.
04:18And the bad thing is that, you know, we got a promo running
04:21with Patrick Creighton talking about it's asinine.
04:24And look, again, I don't think he's wrong.
04:28But I also don't think the person that is, the clouds are falling,
04:32this thing's coming apart, it's time to fire the manager.
04:35I don't think they're wrong either.
04:37Like, it's a hard one to read right now of what you should,
04:41like what the mindset should be.
04:44Yeah.
04:44Like a boss.
04:46Thanks.
04:47Thanks, PC.
04:48Was that PC?
04:49It was.
04:49Yeah.
04:50That was him.
04:51Still don't know.
04:51Were you here yesterday?
04:53Still don't know why I said that.
04:55That really, I think that was two days ago.
04:57I think I was with Luke.
04:58I think that was with Luke where you start really unloading it.
05:01Like a boss.
05:01I've never heard that.
05:02It's new.
05:03It's new for sure.
05:04It's great.
05:05I think you did drop it yesterday.
05:05That would be his dismount after his dancing with his shiny black shoes
05:08on and short pants.
05:09I know he is.
05:10I know he's such a great dancer.
05:11Well, not right now his back's messed up.
05:12But when he come off that dance floor, like a boss.
05:14Even if your back's messed up, it still doesn't leave you.
05:18I bet he's a great dancer.
05:19He's twitchy, though.
05:20He's going to make really good spaghetti and meatballs for some reason.
05:23All right.
