00:00Jeff Bagwell, one of the four people who I would say second-in-command.
00:06Anybody want to feel that feels like he is second-in-command?
00:10Because he's over Charlie and those other guys.
00:13He is one of the four people overseeing the Astros baseball operations department
00:18after Dana Brown's dismissal.
00:20He will be the color analyst on the team's television broadcast
00:23during the next three games in this White Sox series.
00:27That's why Jeff Blum is on.
00:28Bag is on the mic.
00:30That's an interesting decision.
00:32Maybe we'll get some insight into this general manager thing.
00:36It's interesting, but I'm here for it.
00:38You think he'll give us anything?
00:40I'm going to be honest with you, though, boys.
00:42And I'm a Bagwell fan.
00:43I told you, I patterned my batting stance after him in high school.
00:47Did you pattern your analyst?
00:51No.
00:53He is a hard listen, boys.
00:55I mean, if it weren't me listening for detailed insider information on this one
01:01or, like, in the past, like, I'm waiting for the one moment where he's, like,
01:06really digging deep into somebody's head while they're at the plate and kind of,
01:09if it wasn't for that, ooh, boy, it's a hard listen.
01:12He'll put you to sleep now.
01:13He is the one that just gets to talking.
01:16And he may just start giving up stuff where Jim's up there like, well, I don't know about
01:20that, Bag.
01:21Ain't no doubt.
01:22Like, you just get him going.
01:24But, yeah, I just hate this for Jeff Bagwell.
01:28I was telling this to you, Tyler, off air.
01:33I just feel like people don't view Jeff Bagwell almost as a baseball player anymore.
01:42Like the Houston Astros fan base.
01:45Nah, I think he has stopped.
01:46Yes, I think he has stopped becoming the Hall of Fame great baseball player with this.
01:52And now you know, you know how people feel about Jeff.
01:57And they're going to say, Jeff, go ahead.
01:59Go out there and hang out with Todd.
02:00Like, I wonder if that's.
02:02Go be Craig.
02:03What's up?
02:04Look at Craig Vigio.
02:05Astros fans plugged in.
02:06They know.
02:06They know.
02:07Like, you have something in your heart that has a lot of love for Bagwell as that player
02:11that he was here.
02:12But, man, he ain't done a lot of good as assistant GM.
02:15If they did this deal, Clint, and they came out there and they said,
02:18they just start introducing some of the Astros greats.
02:22Lance Berkman.
02:23I think people will give it a.
02:24Oh, big Puma.
02:25Craig Vigio.
02:27Give it a big hand.
02:30Maybe they run Derrick Bale back out here.
02:32I don't know.
02:32Give him a big hand.
02:34You know, does Jeff get some boost?
02:39That's tough.
02:40I don't think so.
02:41I mean, I've got some.
02:43I got some real.
02:44Like, every night Astros fans.
02:46Even through the 100 lost seasons.
02:50And there's a couple of them I think are aware of how involved Bagwell is.
02:54And even those would still go to bat for Bagwell.
02:59I mean, that's just my crew.
03:01I mean, that are most locked in.
03:03Those that would boo, I think in a situation like that, they'd probably just abstain.
03:08Like, they'd probably just be quiet.
03:10Does that make sense?
03:13Because he's one of the best players this organization has ever seen.
03:16Which I think would be a great idea.
03:18And I think that's a good thought because we are in a small.
03:23Y'all are the booers on the show.
03:24Y'all would know.
03:26I'm not a booer anyway.
03:27I'm damn sure not booing Bagwell.
03:29You two are the ones that stand up and boo and act an ass.
03:32I don't stand up and boo.
03:33I understand.
03:34Oh, I do.
03:35I lean in.
03:35I understand it.
03:36I understand it.
03:37Oh, I do.
03:38Like, I just, obviously he ain't like Garrett Cole or nothing.
03:41But I mean.
03:42No.
03:44It just, it feels like we're getting closer and closer to that.
03:47But to your point, Clint, this is a small bubble.
03:50Cause this, cause this bubble here, Tyler, we roll up here.
03:54We, what we, what we see on the text line and what we see on Astros Twitter, they are
03:59booing the hell out of Jeff Bagwell.
04:03Rightfully so.
04:04Bagwell is a total a-hole.
04:06He didn't say a-hole, but I'm just cleaning it up.
04:10Spoke that thing out.
04:11I think he, I think he came up short in the post season as a hitter as well.
04:15So now they're dragging it.
04:16Well, yeah, everybody did no five.
04:18Well, it's, I mean, there's, I mean, there's also a, like, I mean, it's okay if you're an
04:23a-hole.
04:25I mean, I don't, I don't think that, but the level of a-hole, I think this person is talking
04:29about is, I don't even think they think he's an a-hole as a person.
04:32I think they think he's an a-hole because he brought in a breeze.
04:38Just say it.
04:39We're all thinking it.
04:41Like, I just, I don't, I just hate this for him, but he loves it.
04:46I think he's, like, I don't, I don't think it's a great idea to have the guy who was
04:51second in command in the organization to go up there and call nine innings plus of baseball
04:56for the next three days.
04:58I don't think so.
05:00Now, I don't think Todd's going to stick him with one.
05:03I think Todd should sneak one in.
05:05So, Jeff, what are you thinking about doing here?
05:08Bagwell's got visions of Elway in his future, man.
05:11Hey, well.
05:12He's trying to get to that spot.
05:13Yeah, I just, I feel like if he wanted to, he could.
05:17Win as a player and as an executive.
05:19Don't you think, like, all joking aside, like, don't you think if Bagwell, like, really
05:23wanted to be a GM, like, he could.
05:25Oh, I think he could take the job right now.
05:27Right now, right?
05:28Seems that way.
05:28It seems like Crane's probably asking him over and over and he's saying, no, I'll just be
05:32your, you know, your guide.
05:34I think if he were to do that, I think there will be some Astros fans.
05:37Now, they'd be lying.
05:38But that would, that would then, we'd get a good amount of, I'm out.
05:43Oh, now they'd be lying, but I'm out.
05:46I'm out if old Jeff takes over.
05:48I just, just be Jeff five, man.
05:54Just be the great Jeff Bagwell.
05:56Just couldn't fade into the sunset as that Hall of Fame.
05:58Yeah, man, I remember we were there and he had his white jacket and went into the Houston
06:02Sports Hall of Fame.
06:03Now, we've got people, now people are just unloading on Jeff right now.
06:08All right.
