[Music] what a weekend how about the comeback losing on Friday night with your Ace on the mount ryel Blanco and so it didn't look all that great plus knowing that you know Saturday you had to get a great outing from framber which you didn't get and then you got a bullpen on Sunday and yet you take two out of three your biggest comeback of the Season down 6 to1 and you win 96 and then you last it out uh 2 hour and 45 minute rain delay and win 10 to 5 in Extra Innings yesterday what a weekend over 500 for the first time this year three and a half games back of Seattle it is on July 1st and this team is looking like it's supposed to with five literally five starters down five yeah it's incredible well I mean they're they're they're scrapping it's it's a combination of I I mentioned this the other day I don't know if it kind of blazed by you or not but I think you did you alluded to this because we saw it again yesterday they're getting like groundouts for runs scored yeah they're putting that like they Jake uh you had one yesterday from Jake again you had two of them I think you had two manufactured through just groundouts like they're putting Bat on Ball with men in scoring position we talked and lamented and rightfully so about all of the men left on base early in the year and they're now scratching together runs through just putting Bat on Ball but also um big Innings like they're they're they're they're also creating crooked numbers and we saw that happen yesterday after the obviously uh more than once but especially after the the rain delay I mean you know this is something that could have gone dreadfully wrong for you after where you were you are on the other side of it and you lose two of three where you give up the lead then it goes to rain delay and you know you you lost some momentum but instead they rescued it with a with a huge 11th and uh you know you lost José Altuve he doesn't get mad like that and he was Furious and that's the same seen that the second time though the second time now in the last couple weeks two weeks yeah the White Sox game he was he was lost it too and uh you know that's the same umpiring crew that lost track of the count somehow yesterday they had to go to the review Booth to make sure and nobody in the well the scoreboard apparently had it wrong and for for whatever the reason the home playay ire did too he has an indicator in his hands there's no other fans in the background are do are holding up four like dude it's four balls yeah just you can see Mets fans are frustrated because the Astros got the walk and he's they're all saying four it's four balls what are we doing they go to the replay Booth to make sure it's four balls I guarantee you that umpires out there That's embarassing knew how many and you could tell when he had to say after further review uh it is four balls and it's a walk he was so embarrassed that's embarrassing yeah that is embar apparently it's the second time that's happened to that umpire uh Heroes of the weekend Alex bregman his hit on Saturday to drive in two runs dubon to add on with the double that was uh that was fantastic um yesterday Chaz mccor came up with a big hit he he replaced l2v and got the fifth run home and they needed to have that but Taylor Scott came in gave up the run and was able to get out of that if he doesn't get out of that 10th inning Taylor Scott has been awesome dude you're not even going to mention because it happened later but Shan duban Sean do was awesome what a great start for him no no hits no runs and three Innings yeah yeah they got to let him go for the no hitter so next time they gotta let him try to finish yeah three and the third Brian King comes in Brian King has come out of nowhere and now he's getting huge huge pitch uh huge appearances you know Seth Martinez struggled Brian o Bru struggled but Presley came in Scott came in conas had a five run lead but that was they you know Friday night they left 14 on base they left 14 on base they they outplayed the Mets all weekend long all weekend long they all played the bets they did have the fber inning went back to his old ways where he flips the ball with his glove over the back stop it was like oh my gosh you know bregman had an error and then or or no Altuve the ball goes through Altuve which could have been a double play and it then it just seems like fber just gets flustered that that weak ground ball in front of the plate and he flips it over it's a nightmare when he has to oh when he has to field when he has to field he panics and just does dumb stuff like he may the worst Fielding in basball if Mike C was the greatest Astros Fielder yeah who would win gold gloves fber if they had something called The Glove of the glove of actual dog turds he would win that award every year it's unbelievable when he has to range off the mound you are going to get something it it is going to be like you're in for a roller coaster you have no idea what's coming next so yordon it seemed like he was on base every at bat I I I I got a look it he was on two out of five here he was on uh three out of five here and then on he was on four out of five on Friday four out of five three out of five and two out of five yordon was is a when Y yordon is is on base and running the base Yer this weekend I know he had a few off the end of the bat but dude dude is raking right now he really is he it is fantastic see to see had a ground out yesterday right he had the ground out where run scored yep yep yep he had an RBI he had he had that was his oneone RBI he was three for five he his average is up to 282 uh his um slugging is yeah seven s 28 not great not great okay but man he is just it seems like he's now right now he's what a 10 11 game hit yeah he's just not he's just not you know hitting with the same Powers last year no for whatever reason he's not um but you know I I that's fine I just want him to be I mean he's a much better hitter uh the pitch framing we know is always going to be an issue for him but he's going to get paid we wanted him to hit and he's hitting and he's hitting at a at a more than acceptable clip at the catcher spot after the years of Maldonado so you know that's fine it's it is interesting you look at the Astros pitches yesterday and you went through them um dubben King uh Scott conteras none of these guys were on the roster when the season started no none of them were on the roster and then if you just go to king Scott conteras you didn't have these well Scott's been around but it gives you an example of King and contus if you've been out of town on vacation family vacation or something and you came back and watched the Astros yesterday and you would have said now wait a minute okay I think I remember the Cabbage oh low peredo back up yeah I remember that's right I remember cabbage we traded for him before the season who's K but who's King yeah right oh no yeah King King is a new guy we have him okay cool the Scott guy oh no he's been he's been there yeah Scott's been there he's been there the whole year he has yeah well well who's contras he's just another new guy they called up listen there's a lot of injuries okay so don't worry about it it's a seven pitcher win and with a 245 rain delay take it because you want another series and the Astros are winning series after series they're playing sign of the devil baseball right now but we go 667 we round up to the seven yeah we're not doing that we're not we're not doing that no Shawn duban was awesome yesterday coming giving you three innings was just fantastic three plus uh yeah they they ran him out there for the next inning and that's all they gave up was the three walks they had two strikeout no hits SE uh King Brian King gives you no hits Seth Martinez has been used so weirdly lately um he he uh did he did give up a couple of runs but he's been he went on like a 12 days without throwing without being on the mound which was really really weird um especially for a team that needs as much pitching as they've needed although the starting pitching has been great you're setting up pretty nicely now in Toronto because you know know you really didn't have to have a pitcher until Tuesday in Toronto you could you really could have started Hunter Brown on four days rest and Eric GTI on four days rest and then worried about this tomorrow but instead you put in you put in duban now you got brown arag Getti Blanco and framber over the next four days in Toronto which is at some point you got to get somebody back I would imagine I don't I this this this is so is Verlander I mean this is getting this is so weird well he was on injured list so we'll see the Verlander thing is you know they made it sound like the day after he got the day after he had he was scratched uh and once he was put on the injured list ESP spata had a very positive had a very positive Spin and like he's doing much better and uh yeah so yeah you'd like to get him back I I'm not once again I just read up on Garcia it sounds like it's going to happen but it's going to take you know you're going to be into July and I'm getting to the point now where I'm thinking mullor is we'll see with McCullers but um we'll see if he's July or if it lasts all the way until August remember he didn't you know he didn't come back in the 2022 season until what was it August me he only had seven starts in in in that now he came back and he was much better he went to the minor leagues and wasn't very good in the minor leagues but then was actually good for the Astros in the regular season but he only had seven starts that year when he came back from uh uh from his injury so this is a guy who the last two years so far two plus years we're talking about seven starts in the big leagues that's it and then he had you know some some postseason work but Lance McCullers we're to the point now where we got to quit saying Garcia and McCullers because I don't know McCullers will have to be a show and proove situation Garcia you know it sounds like Garcia's still on track but they're not going to rush it with him and you know if you think about it John this is I mean Garcia is going to be a a a trade deadline acquisition for this ball Club basically that's what it's going to feel like you're going to add them you know at relatively the same time hopefully so that's what it's going to feel like and you just if if you're now in position you put yourself in position where you now can you can Coast for a little bit now you're three and a half back you can Coast a little bit Mariners lost yesterday so you're in a you put yourself in a position where you you can Trail you can sit and let you know let the pace car Seattle do its thing and just trail behind and just wait it out and wait it out and you're fine now like you're in a position where you you can breathe easier now for sure you're still three and half back yeah but but but now you can say it's a long season and actually you're not well people saying the long season 7 eight look how good you've had the play three months left of baseball say and doesn't bother me seven eight that bothers me but you made it up relatively quickly because you went on an unbelievable tear yeah but we've seen when you go on you know on a tear and then you know you just way but but you know the offense is different though right now the offense is not playing the same as we saw that because the offense was so inconsistent that's just not the case right now remember there's no Kyle Tucker and there maybe KY tuck remember how everyone was saying you know what it's alprin alin's a problem they're winning without alprin yeah the Rockets are are the Rockets better without Alin obviously they weren't but everyone's like huh they're winning without alrin so I guess Kyle Tucker's a problem Kyle Tucker might be the problem they're winning without Kyle Tucker and Verlander got to get rid of those two guys Kyle Tucker might be the problem Tucker is the issue you're so much better without Kyle Tucker that's how that's how stupid that is
