00:00That's right, a little real or fake.
00:03713-572-416, YouTube and Twitch.
00:06You can jump in.
00:06I make a statement.
00:08You let me know if it's real or fake.
00:10Real or fake?
00:11We'll start with you, Tyler.
00:13Hunter Brown will be a Houston Astro in 2029.
00:18He becomes a free agent after the 2028 season.
00:24Hunter Brown will be an Astro in 2029.
00:28Real or fake?
00:32I'm going to say I want it personally to be real
00:35if Hunter Brown continues to be the diesel we know
00:38and that ace type of guy.
00:40But I also know it is very possible that this is going to be fake
00:44because I don't think Jim Crane is going anywhere.
00:46Obviously, we do not know who the general manager is going to be
00:49of the Astros right now, which is a big factor.
00:52I'm torn.
00:53I'm going to say real, though.
00:55I'm going to have some faith that these guys are actually going to pay
00:57someone that's great at throwing a baseball whenever the time comes.
01:01I'll say real.
01:01Real or fake?
01:03There you go.
01:03There you go, T.
01:04I think it's real.
01:06Look, I understand what we're up against.
01:09I understand the reason the question is being asked.
01:11I would argue that Hunter Brown is, in terms of being here longer term,
01:18is as big, if not bigger, than Jordan Alvarez.
01:23And I know what I'm saying.
01:24Jordan Alvarez is, to me, I mean, I'm sorry, Hunter Brown is, to me,
01:32these guys, like Jordan Alvarez, do not walk the door very often.
01:37I mean, you got a guy that is a potential Hall of Famer.
01:44You got a guy that is, if he's healthy, will live in the top five to ten pitchers
01:50in Major League Baseball for the next ten years.
01:53Yeah, I just, I believe in Hunter Brown, and I think Jim Crane
01:59makes an exception with this cat.
02:01Yeah, I'm going to say, I'm going to say real,
02:06because I do think, I think Jim Crane is competitive.
02:11I think he is a meddler, and I think we've talked about it for years,
02:16that he, at least a good year, that he's got some real Jerry Jones tendencies
02:23in him.
02:25But I do think, after what we've seen here, the failed situation with
02:30how things have happened under Dana Brown and Joe Espada,
02:35I think he's going to go back to giving his guys more resources
02:40to actually win.
02:42This isn't working.
02:43They've got to do more.
02:44So I think this is going to be a turning point on how Jim Crane operates,
02:50and I think Hunter Brown will be the beneficiary,
02:55and the Astros will be the beneficiary of that.
