00:00Major League Baseball, Houston Astros, Joe, over the past, what, 10 to 15 years?
00:05Model franchise.
00:06Father time catches up to everybody.
00:08The Astros having a bad season, and it just got worse.
00:10Carlos Correa, already down.
00:12Jose Altuve on the I.L. with a grade two left oblique strain.
00:16And if anybody, oh, well, he'll be back sooner than later.
00:18An oblique strain to a Major League Baseball hitter?
00:21Devastating news there for the Astros.
00:24And it could be, will Jordan be wearing a new uniform by the end of this season?
00:30That's, yeah, because that's what you got to think.
00:32Maybe it's time.
00:33Listen, I got rid of Bregman.
00:35Maybe now it is time to hit the reset button here a little bit.
00:38They definitely have some assets in the bullpen if they can ever get them healthy
00:42that might be able to help them hit the reset button.
00:45But time will tell.
00:47Dude, Max Freed was really good for the Yankees here.
00:50He goes down with an injury.
00:51You were hoping to add Garrett Cole back to that rotation with everybody,
00:54including Cam Slittler, who's been nothing short of spectacular.
00:56Garrett Cole finished an excellent rehab start in Scranton.
01:00Five and a third innings pitch.
01:01Six hits, one earned run, one walk, six strikeouts.
01:04But the more important thing, Joe, that you look at at these rehab starts,
01:06not the actual stat line.
01:08It's how hard the kid was throwing.
01:1097 on his fourth seamer and topped out at 100.
01:13That's the metric that I want to see.
01:15Looks like Garrett Cole is just about back.
01:17One, I believe, one more start, they're saying, Donnie.
01:21He's going to have one more rehab start and then likely rejoin the team there.
01:26And that, with Max Freed going down, that is good news for the New York Yankees.
01:30Now, Joe, he was in Scranton, which is basically the fictitious home of the office.
01:34Do you know what Scranton's nickname is as a city?
01:39No, I do not.
01:41The electric city, Joe.
01:42It's electric there, man.
01:43Like, everything goes down to Scranton at this point right now.
01:45Should have known that here.
01:46But also, you know what else you should know?
01:48What's up with the Yankees?
01:49You know who's in first?
01:50Like, yeah, the Yankees are going to win this division running away.
01:52Oh, Tampa's going to be in last place.
01:53Joe, I checked the standings right now.
01:56Looks like the Tampa Bay Rays are the team to beat, huh?
02:00Apparently so.
02:01They just refuse to lose here, Donnie.
02:04They won again yesterday.
02:05It seems like they win every game here, and they're doing it in unspectacular fashion.
02:11They got a great home field now that the trop is back up here.
02:15They don't lose at home, Donnie.
02:18It's kind of crazy here.
02:19And the Yankees, well, it's, again, they've got a closer issue here.
02:24Mostly, they don't have one right now, and that's a problem.
02:27And by the way, do the Mets have life?
02:29Let's hear from Carlos Mendoza.
02:30He's got life.
02:31How about that?
02:32How amazed are you that you guys won that game, and how meaningful is it in the context
02:36of all you've been through the last few days?
02:39Because of what?
02:40I'm going to go back to that day that Clay went down and just being able to come back
02:44yesterday and win a really good baseball game.
02:47And then today when we didn't play our best, and you get down, and, you know, for us to just
02:53continue to fight, and for Tyrone to, you know, come through there, it's just special.
03:01A lot of people contributing, but, again, it was just too good to see the guys fight back
03:08and staying on the fight.
03:10It's just a good feeling right now.
03:13There you go.
03:14Let's keep it in the N at least right now, Joe.
03:15Are they back?
03:17Those Philadelphia Phillies at 8-18 fight all the way back to now, being a game over 500.
03:25If you're beating Paul Skien's in his own building, the boys are back in Philly, Joe.
03:30The excitement is back.
03:32That it is, Donnie, and they are ready to roll here in, kind of hard to believe, right?
03:39But I guess you, when you hire a Yankee for a manager, that's what happens.
03:43Yeah.
