00:00You should not be mad at Homer Mike anymore.
00:03Mike Burroughs last night, the Astros, who are fighting to try to get to 500,
00:08fighting in the division, which after yesterday,
00:12they are currently three games back of Seattle in the West
00:14and a game and a half back of the Rangers in the final wild card spot.
00:18So they're in good position.
00:22But they cannot keep running Mike out there, and it is not Mike's fault.
00:26You stop it.
00:27I command every last one of you.
00:29Tyler, you too.
00:30Oh, no, Joe.
00:31Oh, you stop it.
00:32I know the last two starts, Mike has thrown nine in the third innings.
00:38I don't know why, when I read the rest of this,
00:40he was allowed to throw that many innings.
00:43But he has thrown, in his last two starts, nine in the third, 15 hits,
00:5011 earned runs, 14 runs overall.
00:54Thank you, Braden Shoemake.
00:57Two homers, which is pretty good for him over two starts.
01:02Two homers, six Ks, and four walks.
01:06Those are his last two starts.
01:08And the reason why I'm telling you, Tyler, and Bill,
01:11who says, for the love of God, release Burroughs.
01:14It sucks to suck.
01:14Homer Mike must have photos on Dana Brown.
01:20Why is he still on the team?
01:23Guys, he's not running himself out there.
01:26Come on, Joe!
01:27I think Mike's doing the best he can, folks.
01:30That ain't any good enough.
01:32Yeah, as you can see, the look in his eyes every time he hits it,
01:35there's a fly ball hit.
01:37When Abrams absolutely just destroyed that ball,
01:40you can see the look in his eyes like, oh, damn, I did it again.
01:44Man, he's not running himself out there.
01:46It's like Brittany.
01:47For some reason, Mike, Dana, whoever the hell it is, the pitching coach,
01:53because if I were the pitching coach, I'd come out to the –
01:56I would Lance, Jordan, hold my own presser to let you know I am not in favor of this.
02:02I am just doing what I'm told.
02:05But he should not pitch anymore.
02:08Everyone knows it.
02:09Christian Javier is ready to go.
02:12His last appearance, he went two innings, two hits, gave up a home run,
02:17the only earned run, but he got four swings and misses.
02:20He got four strikeouts and a walk.
02:21It's his turn.
02:22Let him go.
02:23Hell, Lance is on his way up.
02:25We've reached the point that Lance, you trust Lance more.
02:31Straight out of the coffee shop, you trust Lance more.
02:35I'm trying to do the best I can.
02:36This ain't Mike's fault no more.
02:38Mike shouldn't come out of the damn bullpen anymore.
02:42Ten runs.
02:43Yeah, I mean, you spot him six, and before you can blink, he's giving it up.
02:48Yeah, this has to be the last straw, right?
02:50This has to be the straw that broke the camel's back.
02:52We can't lean into how good his stuff is.
02:54We can't be patient anymore.
02:57I agree with you.
02:59Right now, this makes it impossible to keep Christian Javier in the bullpen.
03:08Doing radio yesterday, I don't know if you heard it, but doing with Johnny talking about
03:12blue ball.
03:13They may move blue ball, blah, blah, blah.
03:15If they do, they need Javier.
03:17Hey, I get it.
03:18Theoretically, I guess.
03:20You know, I get that idea.
03:22We've just got some nuts on him, man.
03:24Yeah, well, he's going to need him, because Javier's got to get into the starting rotation.
03:30If it's not Javier, it's got to be, you mentioned McCullers.
03:33You've got Blanco coming around the corner.
03:35You've got Wisneski who's coming up and pitching.
03:38I don't know if they're pitching well or not, but they're out there throwing up.
03:40They're not throwing on flat ground somewhere playing long toss.
03:43And so, the good thing about the Burrow implosion, if you will, is that you've got, including
03:52Javier, I mean, you've got three to four arms coming up that you've got to give a shot to.
03:59You've at least got to give them a shot.
04:01Yeah, Mike's got to go to Sugar Land for the rest of the season.
04:04God, they might need to go to the Abreu League.
04:07No, no, man.
04:07He is under contract to 2032.
04:10He's making $800,000.
04:132032?
04:14Yeah, he's arbitration eligible in 2029.
04:19I'm not saying you can get rid of him.
04:20I'm not saying that Mike can't come back and be a good pitcher for you.
04:25It's over, guys.
04:26Right now, this year, you're trying to get to the postseason.
04:31And he is, he's not just, he doesn't, I'd be mad at Hunter.
04:36Because Hunter, if he keeps pitching the way he did, Hunter's got to go out there.
04:40He's got to pitch.
04:42Got it.
04:42He's your ace.
04:43Let's go.
04:44Mike Burroughs does not have to.
04:46You've already set him down once.
04:51And for some, he saw enough to feel like, oh, we've got to put him back in here.
04:54And now he has gone in the last two games.
04:57Why in the hell he was in long enough to pitch nine and a third?
05:02I don't know.
05:03Why that first number is so high you can't explain it.
05:05I can't explain it.
05:06He gave up six, I mean, in a blink of an eye in that third inning.
05:10You're up 6'1".
05:11I mean, it became 6'6".
05:13Before you could even, he should have been done.
05:16Save the night to the Astros.
05:18Mm, mm, mm.
05:19He was allowed to then give up another homer.
05:22He was allowed to pitch the fourth and go into the fifth again.
05:26And set up, and set up.
05:28Get that average up, man.
05:29And set up old James Woods.
05:31If he didn't know that was going as soon as he let that, as he hit that thing, my goodness.
05:35It's just a little funk.
05:36I mean, it is, it is, you've got to try something else.
05:40I mean, you've got to try Christian Javier.
05:43Hell, I think A.J. Blue Ball deserves to get a start ahead of what he's putting together.
05:49Right now, you just, you can't keep running him out there.
05:52How about old Thong?
05:53Where'd he go, man?
05:53Let's go.
05:54He's on the I.L.
05:55He's got a little knee issue.
05:57Oh, that's right.
05:58He tweaked his knee, didn't he?
05:59But, like, I mean, come on, man.
06:01Like, this is, he cannot get another start the rest of the season.
06:05I tried to hang in there with you, Mike.
06:07He just can't.
06:07I tried to refrain from calling you homer, Mike.
06:10I tried to buy into his spot as, man, he's got good stuff.
06:15But, can't do it, man.
06:16Once again, I'm on the show train, and the spotter looks silly once again.
06:21Again, this is not your fault, Mike.
06:24If you've seen Good Will Hunting, this is where I am with you.
06:28It's not your fault.
06:29It's not your fault, Mike.
06:32It's not your fault.
06:33How about them apples?
06:34It's not.
06:35I do remember that part.
06:36See?
06:38And Yiner, it's not yours either.
06:39It doesn't matter what you call.
06:41That thing, that thing, that thing, that thing, that thing, that thing eventually is getting
06:46deposited.
06:47He's not giving up wall scrapers either, folks.
06:51No doubters.
06:53Most of the time.
06:55These things are getting out, man.
06:58One of them, pat the mitt and don't turn around.
07:01It's literally, it is.
07:03What does Steve and A talk about the Dallas Cowboys?
07:06It's just a matter of time?
07:07It is a matter of time every time with Mike.
07:10Hell, he didn't give up a home run in his previous start, but gave up four.
07:16They scored, Tyler, they scored 11 runs yesterday.
07:20The Astros had two different three-run homers and another two-run homer.
07:27Astros ain't loyal.
07:28And none of it included your Don.
07:30And never took the lead.
07:32And never took the lead.
07:33From the first inning.
07:34Oh, no, I had to do the one.
07:36I'm sorry.
07:36You know what?
07:36It was 6-1.
07:37It was 6-1.
07:39Sorry, that got away from us.
07:41We sucked.
07:43But come on, man.
07:44Like, you can't do that.
07:45You can't get out to a 6-1 lead and finish with 11 total runs and lose.
07:51To a team.
07:52I mean, good God, man.
07:53What is going on?
07:56Again, Mike, I'm not mad at you.
07:59None of you will.
08:00No one else cannot be mad at Mike.
08:03Mike is not calling his number.
08:07Now, at some point here, Tyler, we're getting close to going remember the Titans.
08:12And what is Ryan Gosling's character where he went ahead and took himself out and put Tweety in?
08:17It's a liability.
08:18It's safety.
08:19I feel like Mike at this point.
08:21Like, I will think highly of Mike if he took himself out like Ryan Gosling did and put Donald Faison
08:27in.
08:28And he walked over.
08:29And it's his turn to start.
08:30He walked over to Christian Javier and said, here, man.
08:32Here's the ball, man.
08:34Here, man.
08:35You got it, man.
08:36Please, take my spot.
08:37We got to win.
08:38For the team.
08:39For us.
08:39Good God, man.
08:40Because I'm getting crushed, man.
08:43He did not sleep well in Washington.
08:45Wherever they were.
