00:12inning i mean the last two days i'm sitting here and i'm going who the hell if they don't do
00:20this
00:20for a job actually watches this okay and again we live in a town where everybody wants to hope cast
00:27instead of just being realistic oh but they won six out of seven cool you've lost five out of seven
00:33one and four on the road trip and honestly it would have been one in five you weren't beating
00:38gavin williams this houston team sucks you win the first game monday and your response to that
00:45is seven hits in 18 innings of baseball and as the late pat caputo coined clown ball last night
00:54booting balls hi uli can't get to a ball dingler who's a gold glover pass ball like then you get
01:03into today's game and it never felt like they were in it never felt like they were going to get
01:08a hit
01:08they got miranda lambert on the mound the guy's got an 11 walk right they're out here hacking i mean
01:14rico the guy was just yeah he's got a pitch mix but he's just throwing fastballs and you can't hit
01:20him you can't hit him i just i and then i just and i i i i try to put
01:28aside some of my stuff but
01:30i mean man oh man watching the games oh we need a six bloops and a blast uh okay all

01:35bag of cheetos you're you're done sign yourself out right can't do this you mean you didn't enjoy the
01:40one hit through seven innings today brother i know man and two hits last i i i rico look it
01:48it's just
01:48i think i'm at a point what bothers me more than losing and this is where i want to admit
01:56i may not
01:57be fair but i come from a different generation of sports fans what bothers me with this team
02:04is it's all slap and tickle there's no anger there's no fight there's no urgency even today
02:12you're getting your ass kicked you're down for nothing i gotta look at carrie carpenter with his
02:17finger in the air like he's kirk gibson and for the dodgers and then we're yucking it up in the
02:21dugout and like i i'm not mad at mcgonigle the kid the kid's 21 years old but i mean then
02:27it's oh
02:28look how cool this is i'm like is someone just gonna smash a toilet is someone just gonna but i
02:35come from
02:35a different era you do i don't understand the smiles i don't understand the laughter you're 30 and 44
02:42you started the month 16 under and guess what you're 14 under you for all intensive purposes
02:49you've made no progress pardon me you started the month 15 games under 500 and you're 14 under right
02:57now you know i i rico i and then well big homestand coming ah you know what enough blow it
03:06out your ass i
03:07i don't enjoy it but here's i want to ask you a question this is very important okay and it's
03:14a
03:14question to you the people are you just at a point you want your summer back like i admit this
03:22i hope
03:23they lose like i hope the homestand is five and five they just do nothing because i don't want to
03:31do
03:31this anymore i want to enjoy summer so many interesting things in sports to talk about
03:36hell i enjoyed rico watching a world cup game me watching rico watch tv i enjoyed that i'm glad
03:46more than tiger baseball i'm glad i could be here for you it was fabulous but rico i'm at a
03:52point i want
03:53them to let go of the rope and i i do they need to have a fire sale they got
03:58to restock the shelves
03:59because outside of max clark there's nothing close to coming up there's there's a lack of guys that
04:05have true prospect pedigree like a max anderson he hit his way into being a prospect but he doesn't
04:12have the pedigree you've already brought up joe you already brought up mcgonigle max clark's the last
04:19piece after that no one's really close the scoobal deal the passing report i know you'll read the quote
04:27buddy i i just i i'm done i'm ready for this thing pull the plug fourth of july weekend start
04:34the bidding war take two weeks and trade him a full two weeks before the deadline you're not going
04:39to extend mys trade him glaber can't be traded until he comes back trade him jansen thanks for coming
04:47trade him like that's it i i don't i i just would love to know who who enjoys this because
04:54i sure as
04:55hell don't it's awful i don't think anybody really enjoys this anymore mike except for just that 20
05:03who they still clamor and say yeah but remember two years ago and everybody said this team was dead and
05:10then how did it look now look they came back and won because your eyes aren't deceiving you this object
05:16isn't closer than it really seems this is just a bad team playing bad baseball right now they're not
05:22even treading water and they're playing bad baseball in a bad american league so there's nothing
05:30fun to watch and when you see games like this when when you start off the houston series and you
05:35win
05:35you're thinking okay maybe you could take this series because mike i said with the day you took off
05:40you got to start winning series in a row for me to take you seriously and they went out there
05:47and they
05:47did and then they fell on their face and now they lost another series you're never going to you're
05:54never going to play that 600 baseball by you know losing series you have to win two out of every
06:01three
06:01games that's this pure definition of playing over 600 baseball and you're not doing that right now
06:07no and and i mean you know we talked about the math i know math is offensive to people who
06:13you know i don't know they think with their balls baseball's a game of math it's not a game of
06:19your
06:19feelings you know or or a random boner it's math everything in this game is math exit velo it's math
06:27spin rate math ops math right so is what it takes to make the playoffs and like rico you've nailed
06:35it like
06:35i'm not the sky isn't falling every time you lose a game but you're you're running out of time to
06:43lose
06:44multiple games in a row look at the mathematics we're now 88 games to go right since we took the
06:50air yesterday you had 90 you lost two more in a row 55 and 33 now it's just daunting and
06:59you go all right
07:00three against the chai socks three against the yankees with no judge four against this garbage
07:05can houston team three in the bronx three in texas home against the a's home against the phillies all
07:12star break pardon me if i'm sitting here and they're 14 under i do i have a hard time believing
07:19that that's the run that's going to ignite what i mean do i believe in the white socks especially
07:27without miracami no of course not but the long term they're just not i dude it's you said it i
07:37mean you
07:37watch these games i mean even last night i know i shouldn't be surprised and and i i shouldn't be
07:43angry but i'm in the eighth inning and i gotta see carrie get pulled and i gotta watch jami jones
07:50come in the game again and i'm going oh my god we're doing this again and then the defense you
07:56know
07:57that's the other thing we talk about what it takes to to go on that 600 run yeah it's great
08:03if
08:03you hit home runs but you need everything to work together at a high level not only your starting
08:09pitching but your bullpen this bullpen stinks but the defense look at last night you have three
08:14critical plays and the margin is razor thin three bad defensive moments cost you that game
08:22and it just it hasn't changed all year you know what i mean they're not some good
08:28offensive team but the losses are excruciating even dating back to a week ago you know the the 3-2
08:35loss
08:36in cleveland 3-1 in cleveland both these houston losses man i i just i can't do it i'm just
08:42i'm ready
08:42for him to trade scoobal and i know some people are going to want him to get back into it
08:47i i actually i i hope they close their eyes and they don't wake up i've had enough no and
08:53i know
08:54i mean on the 26th season just no no close your eyes okay no no just close your eyes no
08:59okay put the
09:00bed sheet over it's over just go to sleep okay i can't take rico i can't take anymore and i
09:07i know it
09:08shouldn't bother me but damn it it does it does laughing smiling and goofing around will you will
09:13somebody just break a bat toss a cooler something same thing with aj never fire
09:21always the academic always the aristocrat he can explain away everything no you can't
09:27no remember the one time a few weeks ago he blew up and got tossed out of the game
09:32because the whole batter's box situation i thought maybe that and that thing at that point he was just
09:38like effing nothing nothing can motivate this team i i tried that this team just is what it is
09:44so i because i remember that it was just like aj what are you doing and he was angry because
09:49the
09:49ump was like no he needs to go over to the batter's box and he's too far away and aj
09:55blows up but you're
09:56right it's just the only thing missing is you know doing the jersey exchange at the end of the game
10:02and
10:02taking selfies with the other team it's you don't see the fire you don't see the passion you don't see
10:08the frustration you don't see the anger you don't see anything and it's just like okay i i guess you
10:14guys are okay with this because you're right you you you want as much as you hate to hear it
10:20mike
10:20let's have a closed clubhouse meeting we we just need to talk we need to figure some stuff out we
10:26need
10:27what is wrong with us and and just go down the line with every player but you're not seeing that
10:32you're not hearing that it's just all right we lost another series what's where is it where's
10:37the plane taking us next maybe it's an old school mentality but it's just how i feel i'll throw the
10:45number out and i want to go when we when we get back just give people the passing quote or
10:50i can do
10:51it i look what's in the best interest not of your feelings but of the organization if we're really
10:57going to have a baseball team that is going to make a a real run at a world series i
11:01i sadly
11:02do not believe it is this current iteration trading tarik skuble is is what it's going to start
11:07it's what it's going to take and i think passing what he wrote should be encouraging is that fair
11:14to say that so let's do that next and see where people are at and i'll throw the number out
11:20248-539-9797
11:22we'll get to you guys next 97 one
11:25you
