00:00Good news. There it is. Might have a chance to hear that tonight as the Astros are on the diamond
00:09and they will take on the Pirates.
00:12And it is official. Josh Hader is activated and he will be in the bullpen.
00:20And if this thing gets tight, they got to go to the closer. Their their ninety five million dollar man
00:26is down there ready to go.
00:28So good. One of the big guns, the big two we were looking at, Josh Hader, Hunter Brown.
00:34They they have they have activated one of them. And that is Josh Hader.
00:39The other one is is taking a bus to El Paso to pitch in El Paso.
00:46So they've got one of their two big guns that they wanted to get back.
00:50But as I said, guys, you know, it ain't ever just just this ever just having guys just coming off
01:00the I.
01:01You always got to have somebody come off and then somebody go back home just even it out.
01:06And yeah, there you go. Thanks, Fred.
01:10The Astros, they're having to recall Zach Cole because they got to place Brayton Shoemake on the I.
01:17I.L. with a right adductor muscle strain.
01:20Damn it, Brayton.
01:23That Cole gets to come back.
01:24Zach Cole doesn't have to take that trip to El Paso.
01:28But Brayton and Shoemake, to be honest with you, like it's Clinton said a few times, there's something there with
01:33him.
01:34I think he's cooled off a bit, but he was somebody that could play short, play third, play second and
01:40swung.
01:40The back got hot there when he first got here a bit.
01:42But he is going to the I.L., and Zach Cole is coming back.
01:49So, yes, Josh Hader is back, but somewhere Brayton Shoemake got him.
01:54Well, look, I think the Strohs lost a little bit of authentic swag right there.
01:59Look, I think baseball players as a whole, I think a lot of it's manufactured.
02:05And I think Oshu looked like he had a little authentic swag right there.
02:10So, yeah, he may have cooled off a little bit, but the Astros lost a little bit in that category.
02:15Hopefully, it's, you know, they make up for it in other categories.
02:19Yeah, yeah.
02:22They'll be fine.
02:23I do want to get to Mike Burroughs here in a second.
02:267-1-3-5-7-2-4-6-10.
02:29Do you think Mike Burroughs is pitching for his rotation life right now?
02:34But I want to shout out my man, Real DJ Baseline on YouTube, Clint Tyler.
02:43My man looking out for us.
02:45My man said, Ron, FYI, happy-go-lucky.
02:50Had some new drinks on the menu.
02:51Went over there this weekend.
02:53Got a new appletini.
02:55Is this that frozen drink spot you found?
02:57Frozen appletini?
02:59Come on, man.
03:00He said, thanks for the heads up on this place.
03:02Telling you.
03:03Damn, man.
03:04Have you been back?
03:05Yeah.
03:05You have been back.
03:07I have.
03:07But, listen.
03:08John Dorian.
03:09For work once.
03:10But.
03:11Before work one time?
03:12Before work.
03:12You went over and said, boy, I got a little frisky.
03:15Thought he'd slide on by and get him one.
03:17You didn't want to bring me and Tyler one?
03:18Yeah, I did.
03:20Well, terrible dog.
03:21Tyler wasn't here.
03:22That's why I didn't do it.
03:23That's right.
03:23And I'm not drinking, so it's.
03:26That's what I'm going to buy.
03:28Oh, you ain't drinking it?
03:29Damn.
03:30Now you got to drink it.
03:31I'll take it.
03:33Frozen appletini, huh?
03:36Sounds terrible.
03:36I'm not an apple guy.
03:37I am an apple guy.
03:39I've never had an apple.
03:40I liked.
03:40I wonder if they could run a little caramel in there for me.
03:43Caramel?
03:43Probably.
03:44Caramel with the apples?
03:45Yeah.
03:45You think so?
03:46Yeah.
03:46I mean, I would imagine a place like that's got all the little fruity toppings.
03:50I want to see it.
03:51Appletini.
03:52Appletini.
03:53I don't know why you had to say fruity toppings.
03:54Well, I mean, like sweet little sweet fruity toppings.
03:58Cummy worms?
03:59Appletini.
03:59Yeah, well, that too.
04:00That, yeah.
04:01Go look.
04:01I want to see what it looks like.
04:02I mean, imagine they got a little bit of everything there.
04:05All the little toppings.
04:07I need to talk with somebody.
04:08Now, do you know, is this something that they're doing?
04:11Do they refresh it?
04:14Do they add things to the menu?
04:16They change their menu?
04:17They freshen their menu every few months?
04:18Come on, man.
04:19Bring in some new accoutrements.
04:20You didn't realize when you went in the other day that it was new?
04:23That there was some new flavors?
04:24Well, listen, I had tunnel vision on the Miami Vice.
04:27Oh, you went in for a reason.
04:29Yeah.
04:29Well, yeah.
04:30Most likely, you know, you go to the mall.
04:32You guys, you know where you're coming in there to get.
04:33No question.
04:34I was walking in there to get.
04:35Is that my ball around?
04:36Yeah.
04:37You didn't even give anything else a chance.
04:38I didn't even look at it now.
04:39That's fair.
04:39That's the way to do it.
04:40That's the right way to do it.
04:41That's just me sometimes.
04:42Go in there.
04:43Go in there browsing.
04:44Hell with that.
04:44Go in there.
04:44Go in there on a mission.
04:45I'm on a mission.
04:46The showman.
04:47That's a large.
04:48She said, did you want an extra shot?
04:51I said, why not?
04:55Why not?
04:55Hell, man.
04:56It's just 12.
04:57It's just noon.
04:59A little lunch.
05:00A little nooner.
05:01Yeah, right when they open.
05:02Yeah, not too bad.
05:03Ron changed the definition of nooner, didn't he?
05:06God, how about that?
05:08Damn.
05:08Man, Appletini.
05:09I want to see what that looks like.
05:10I might have to go over there.
05:13I didn't have to go to another basketball practice to pick some kid up.
05:16You can get time.
05:18One ain't going to hurt you.
05:20No, I'm fine.
05:21I don't know if I've got to get there by 7.
05:23Hell, you can probably door dash that thing.
05:26Tyler, see if you can door dash that thing.
05:27It is 14 minutes away.
05:28I'm on it.
05:29It's 14 minutes away.
05:31Opposite direction, 28 minutes round trip out of the way.
05:34Can't do it.
05:34Door dash it.
05:35Yep.
05:35Can't do it.
05:36Make sure you add the caramel.
05:38Boy, I'm telling you.
05:39That is.
05:40But I want them to run that caramel.
05:42I want them to run it in with the freeze.
05:46You know, when you mention this place, what's a hell of a business?
05:48I'll be honest with you, it's probably not conducive to door dashing.
05:53You get a chance to party.
05:54By the time it gets to you, that old caramel bit, sit floating in some appletini water.
05:59That taco stand, they were ready to roll right with you next door.
06:02They were.
06:03Burger joint, too.
06:04Good for them.
06:05The guy is drunk.
06:07Real quick, Mike Burroughs.
06:08Mike Burroughs gets to start tonight.
06:10And we know that they have just reinstated Joshua Hader.
06:15That means.
06:16Sorry.
06:17You went full name on that.
06:18Yeah, I did.
06:18That means we know if Hunter Brown is being forced to go to El Paso, he's probably going to be
06:25up soon.
06:26And we know he's pitching every five days.
06:30Is Mike Burroughs, who is sitting with a 5.40, he is tied for the most home runs given up
06:40in the American League with 13.
06:44He seems to give up at least one every single day.
06:4954 Ks, 21 walks.
06:52But he is there every single start.
06:56And he leads the team in innings.
06:58We've made fun of this and said that Mike Burroughs has the old Burroughs quality start, which means he's going
07:04to get the six innings portion of it.
07:05The three runs or less, you can forget about that most nights.
07:09But his last start, he did go seven innings, two runs.
07:11But, Clint, he's got 63 and a third innings.
07:15That is 16 more innings than anybody else on the team.
07:19So that is a big deal.
07:21And we talked about that last week with him, that he does eat up innings.
07:24He finds a way to eat up innings.
07:26But we know Hunter Brown is good, right?
07:28Hunter Brown is going to be in any rotation, correct?
07:31Spencer Arrogetti is going to be in any rotation right now.
07:33Hell, he's going to be in the Cy Young conversation.
07:37Do we agree, Clinton Tyler, that Emai, because he is the most expensive pitcher that they have on this team,
07:46that Emai, who has now had three straight starts, back-to-back starts where he's had quality starts,
07:51he is somebody that's going to get every opportunity to stay in this rotation, correct?
07:56Absolutely.
07:56I would think those three definitely are ahead of Burroughs.
08:02What about Tang?
08:05Is Tang in front of Mike Burroughs?
08:08Well, let me save you some time.
08:09I don't think Tang and Lambert have a chance.
08:12You don't think Tang and Lambert have a chance?
08:14They've just only been pitching better than them.
08:16I agree with that wholeheartedly.
08:18But, no, look, I do think when I watch...
08:21What about Christian Javier, too?
08:22Christian Javier, double...
08:23He makes good money, too.
08:27Double, uh...
08:28Double-A now, Burroughs.
08:29He could be on the road back to returning.
08:33Yeah, I just...
08:33I don't think it's happened.
08:35You're talking about the guy that they had slotted into number two starter to start the season.
08:39You're talking about a guy that the manager's consistently told us, I believe it's him,
08:41that he's got some good stuff.
08:43He's got some good stuff.
08:43Just, hey, they're getting some good swings on him.
08:45He's got some really good stuff.
08:47And so, yeah, I think he's got real staying power.
08:50I mean, I agree with your point about Tang Lambert.
08:53You know, I think those two guys have earned at least a shot.
08:59But I think you can kiss Tang and Lambert goodbye if it comes down between him and them.
09:05I think Burroughs stays in.
09:06He's one of the five.
09:08Absolutely.
09:08Dang, it's a kick in the glass.
09:09For them decision makers to bite the bullet and pick one of them other up-and-comers over him,
09:17no chance.
09:17I mean, I just, my only issue here, and I see Tyler, he's giving looks like he's,
09:24you don't know how he feels about that either, is, like, you can't F around right now.
09:30I'll give you one F around.
09:32And Emai maybe is your only F around because of the amount of money he makes.
09:37But, like, they've got to win games.
09:39Like, they've got to win ball games.
09:42And Tang and Lambert have pitched, you know, from a consistent basis with the exception of the innings thing.
09:49And I think that is a big deal.
09:51I'm not going to say that's not a big deal, especially for how this bullpen has been taxed.
09:56But, oh, man, I, I mean, they, Peter Lambert, I think, what, six of his last seven starts have been,
10:05has been.
10:06He's impressive.
10:07I just don't think there's any way.
10:08Unless the wheels just come off of Burroughs again, just come completely off, like.
10:13If he has.
10:15Yeah, I just, I just don't see it, man.
10:16I don't, I don't, this is a, this is a crew that, boy, when they make a decision like that,
10:21I mean, they're going, they're not only, they're going to go down with that ship.
10:23I don't think they're going to, I think, I don't think they're going to pick Peter Lambert or Tang over
10:27him.
10:28Yeah.
10:28Pete Lambert.
10:28Now, with the numbers, with the number.
10:31Yeah, with ERA under four.
10:33With the numbers where they are right now, they're not going to have to.
10:36I mean, that's just, you know, you, you, you've got.
10:39Hell, you can go to a six-man rotation, even though I wouldn't, I wouldn't suggest it with this, with
10:43this.
10:44I'd like to get Hunter Brown out there as many times as I can.
10:47I agree.
10:48Yeah, you've already, I guess we've depleted the purpose of going a six-man rotation.
10:52Yeah, I'd like to get Hunter out there.
10:53So, I guess, I guess you're, I guess you're right.
10:55Tang or, Tang or Lambert or Burroughs will have to, will have to move.
10:59One of those three will have to be gone.
11:01I would think.
11:02Yeah.
11:02And these jackasses in Seattle are not slowing down.
11:05They've won seven in a row.
11:06Won again yesterday.
11:07Five games ahead of the Astros.
11:10I think we ought to hunt that wild card.
11:13I think that division's going.
11:14I think that the odds of that division right itself to some degree is going to happen.
11:18I don't know what that wild card is.
11:20That division was an eyesight last week.
11:22I still don't know.
11:23A couple of two and a half games, wasn't it?
11:25Well, tell me.
11:25Right there, reach out and touch it.
11:27Someone texted in our guy, Jordan Alexander, said Burroughs is just ass and added a couple of S's for no
11:35apparent reason.
11:36Yeah, I just, I don't disagree with any, I don't disagree with any of the points being made.
11:40I don't think he's ass.
11:41The innings is.
11:42I do disagree.
11:42I don't think he's ass.
11:43I think there's something there.
11:44I think he's got some stuff.
11:46I think there's, I think there's something there.
11:48There's a bill to, I mean, to get some length out of whatever.
11:52That's a big deal.
11:5316 more innings than anybody else on the staff.
11:56Yeah.
11:57Yeah.
11:57So, look, I don't, I don't think he's ass, but I understand where people could be out on him if
12:03it comes down to Peter Lambert or Tang.
12:05I just don't think it's going to happen.
12:07I don't, you got some egos involved here and these guys had him slated as a number two starter in
12:11this rotation to open the season.
12:13They've already got to eat crow on whatever the hell they were thinking about doing with Spencer Arrighetti.
