00:00It was a rite of passage for so many years here.
00:02The A's, or excuse me, the Astros were saying, you know what?
00:05We're going to tank a little bit here.
00:06We're going to build this organization the right way.
00:08And boy, have they done that.
00:10But sooner than later, Father Time is going to catch up to everybody.
00:12And when you look at that Astros roster, it's basically a who's who is what's left, Craig.
00:17And correct me if I'm wrong.
00:18I think I might have saw a tweet out there that was like,
00:20there's nobody playing in this Major League Baseball game
00:22since the Astros won a world championship in their last one,
00:25which lets you know that through trades and attrition,
00:28this is going to be a problem season.
00:30And you look at the Astros, 22 and 31, heading into Memorial Day weekend.
00:33What has gone wrong?
00:35Injuries, just not as good.
00:36And even their expected win-loss record, Craig, 21 and 32,
00:40basically the same as what we're getting here.
00:42It's a sign of the times.
00:43You expect it also.
00:44Hey, Jordan Alvarez is going to come back.
00:45He's having a good season.
00:46It doesn't matter, Craig.
00:49What a great run for the Astros with Garrett Cole and Dallas Keuchel
00:54and Correa and Altuve and Springer and Tucker
00:58and Jordan a little bit through those years.
01:00Alex Bregman, Donnie, through those years.
01:04Brian McCann at Catcher winning a World Series.
01:07Carlos Beltran.
01:08Like, say what you want about the trash can stuff.
01:11This was a juggernaut of a team for 10 years.
01:14So, how am I going to get on the show and rip this team?
01:18Like, it's just over.
01:19It's done.
01:19That's it.
01:20Okay.
01:20They went through it.
01:21They tried to band-aid it this year.
01:23They thought, all right, Hunter Brown, you know, he's great.
01:26We'll front the rotation.
01:27We'll try and roll McCullers out there again and see what.
01:30It's over, Donnie.
01:31That's it.
01:31I mean, Correa's hurt.
01:33Altuve's hurt.
01:35Lucky for them, Christian Walker's doing so good so they can trade him in a couple months.
01:38Because, trust me, that's all they're going to be doing with him in two months.
01:42But the Hader, where's he, Donnie?
01:45Josh Hader, remember him?
01:46Yeah.
01:47It's over.
01:47It's over.
01:48The Astros are not going anywhere this season.
01:50They're punters.
01:52And they're probably headed for a rebuild, I would guess here.
01:55Because their farm system is not great.
01:57They'll piece some players together every now and then to come up and do a decent job.
02:01But that's it.
02:02We closed the book on an incredible, incredible run that any team would take over and over again in Major
02:09League Baseball.
02:10The Astros, I think a lot of other teams were cheating when they were cheating, too.
02:14I understand they got caught and everybody's mad about it.
02:16Especially the Yankees fans are mad about it, too.
02:18I get it.
02:18I understand it.
02:20But great run.
02:21Great run.
02:22Congrats to them.
02:22But it's over.
02:23They're going to lose, like, probably close to 100 this year, Donnie.
