00:00It's real or fake if the Astros are buyers and that's what Dana Dana Brown said on the flagship this
00:07weekend
00:07He said we're we're buyers until we think we can't be if the Astros are buyers right now
00:13They're six games under 500 two and a half out of the wild card four and a half out of
00:16the division
00:19Pitching is the number one priority for them to get by the deadline real or fake. Oh 100%
00:25No doubt that is real. Yeah, the bats have not been much of a problem this year even with the
00:30injuries
00:30They haven't gone on many stretches where they're not scoring runs
00:33They just cannot pitch the ball find the strike zone and stop walking fools and giving up home runs Mike
00:37Burrows
00:38So, uh, yes
00:40Absolutely. It's got to be the arms
00:41All right real or fake Clint if they are buyers the Astros are buyers pitching is the number one priority
00:47by the deadline real or fake?
00:49Yeah, I think it's real. I think it's the you know
00:53of late guys have gotten better
00:55Um, but but you're not you're not gonna scare anybody or make any kind of run
00:59With with hunter and spencer. I mean and no disrespect to those two guys love them both. Uh, you know,
01:05obviously hunter's a horse
01:06Spencer's looking really really good, but but you're you need three and four
01:10I mean, I mean you you you need three and four that you can depend on and these guys I
01:14like look in my I like Peter Peter lambert. I like
01:17Um, but the reality of it is is is is I'm not ready to sit here today and go
01:23Yeah, I like them enough to where I think we can make a run in the playoffs with those two
01:27as one of them
01:28You know, if you need to you to figure out which one of the two you're gonna start in that
01:31in that four in that four slot
01:33If you need them and who who can help you from a long relief the situation in the bullpen
01:38Cool eyes that you know, you're gonna have to depend on heavily
01:42In a series. I just I'm not there. So yeah, I think it's real. I think they got to be
01:47buyers
01:48Uh and pitching has to be the has to be the
01:51The target you want me to get a bat don't you I think it's fake
01:55Um, I think the listen, I'm not gonna sit here and say they're pitching is is dynamite
02:01But if hunter brown is hunter brown
02:04and
02:04Listen, we talked a lot about, uh, stupid stupid stuff that happened last night
02:09That damn josh hater
02:11I mean that was the top of the lineup and he
02:14He set every last one of their asses down swinging. I mean didn't have a didn't have a shot
02:19Um, you had those two back the bullpen looks better a bray you with another decent performance
02:26Obviously helped by by bryce matthews and slow mike mike trout, but he he had another good performance
02:32their their lineup just
02:36Feels like they're missing something and
02:40They could use an outfield bat. They could use like I think they I feel like they are one bet
02:47short
02:47And I don't think it's yiner diaz
02:49Returning
02:50I mean, I mean they've they've thrown out lamont wade
02:53They've thrown out zach disenzo. They've thrown out all that I to me if they got a another outfield bat
02:59That they could put so they're not putting taylor trammell and lamont wade right there. Yeah
03:06That that that to me changes
03:08Their their line because they're so dependent on your don
03:12And when you face better teams, they're they're just not gonna let them be
03:16Well, what they've got
03:18To do they got it to me again. This doesn't go with their with their flow, right?
03:22But they got to let jake myers play center field
03:25And I know it's not that he's not the bat you're talking about but but you you've got to get
03:28a much but you got to get the version of jake
03:30Myers that we've seen the last couple of years that was a flash
03:32You got to get that back you joey loper fito is the outfielder that you got to get him back
03:37healthy
03:37Get him in the outfield and see if he can be
03:39One of those guys and and help you on the bottom part of that lineup
03:43But I don't I don't disagree with the point of of if you want to you want to go get
03:48a proven outfielder
03:50Outfield bat that that you can put in the middle of this lineup. I don't I don't disagree with that
03:54I mean, I I think it's it's needed
03:55I just don't think it's as severely needed as the
03:58As the starting pitch the pitching feels
04:02We'll see what these guys continue to do
04:04Um, but but the pitching feels like it is starting to become a bit more stabilized you get homer my
04:09cup out of there
04:10Um, so I don't I don't know. I feel like they I feel like a bat more or less
04:15All right, clint real or fake
04:17The indianapolis colts made the right decision by giving daniel jones a two-year 88 million dollar contract extension real
04:26or fake
04:26Yeah, I think it's real. Um
04:29I think he was he was playing as as one of the top quarterbacks in the league before the injury
04:34Um, I do think he's a good fit
04:37For shane steikens offense with the ability to to run the football now
04:41We'll see how much the injury hampers that that ability to do that
04:44Um, and it's a short short-term deal. Um
04:48Can you get a a middle-of-the-pack quarterback 40 million dollars? Sounds crazy, but 40 million dollars a
04:53year
04:54Um on a two-year deal, uh, you know, that's obviously
04:58Great. It's not it's not like he it's not like he got
05:02He's overpaid or overextended at the quarterback position
05:05So yeah, I I think I think they made the right decision not to mention
05:08You look at their back. They've tried the top five draft pick didn't work out
05:12Riley leonard clearly is not the answer. Um, like for crying out loud
05:16They had to bring philip rivers out of retirement last year. So yeah, I I think stabilize that position to
05:20some degree
05:21Yeah, I think that's real. I think the colts made the right decision. Well, listen, uh, I I think it's
05:26real fellas just
05:27Because they put themselves in that position when they made the trade for sauce gardener and they gave up
05:34Two first round picks and they put themselves in position where we have to win. We got to try to
05:40win right now
05:41Yeah, and I I'll be honest. I don't I don't think
05:45overall
05:49I I don't necessarily think it would be great to find a younger quarterback to go that route
06:01But you you've given up two first round picks and you've you've rolled through that
06:06Like I don't know that daniel jones is going to lead them to some sort of a super bowl
06:09And I don't know if the parts around him are good enough
06:13But I but I but as soon as you pulled the trigger on the sauce gardener move and gave up
06:18everything you gave up
06:20Then you knew you got to be competing. Yeah, you got to be trying to at least and chris ballard
06:25I don't know if he can if he'll survive another start over
06:29Like I felt like they put themselves in that in that spot once they made that trade
06:33Well, the interesting thing with him in this division too is
06:38You know, you're not playing out there with the rams and the seahawks and the 49ers. I mean you you
06:43you feel like I mean for crying out loud
06:46The jacksonville jaguars first year head coach first year head coach last year, right?
06:49Or is it a second year? Uh, yes first year 13 wins
06:52Um, I mean so could you see indianapolis in this division do with it with it with a third
06:59Place schedule, right? Yeah third place schedule
07:01Could you see them rattling off 13 wins behind daniel jones in this division with this with a weak schedule?
07:06Yeah
07:06Yeah, you wonder
07:09When daniel jones will be daniel jones
07:12Yeah, like
07:13Like
