00:00by the way you know this is the reason joe that the gm is not the gm of the astros
00:04anymore like
00:05this is why you're seeing it right now they went out and gave i don't know how much money i
00:11think
00:11it was 100 million to tatsui imai remember that and they signed him out of japan and he was just
00:17awful and now like you can't even use him in the postseason and you know spencer erigetti was a
00:24pitcher that they were counting on at the beginning of the season and they thought christian javier
00:28would come back and he would be good yeah houston just didn't do a good enough job for their hitting
00:33has been great they didn't do it they knew exactly what they needed to do in the offseason and they
00:37didn't get it done and then jim crane the owner fired dana brown as the gm of the astros and
00:42that's it
00:42like that's i i think that they know that they're lucky joe to get into the postseason there are some
00:48people that think joe that the astros after the season may outside of alvarez and a couple other
00:54players may tear it down they may go back down to and for a few years to try and build
00:58it back up
00:59again because quite frankly what do they have they have a really they have a lot of good hitting but
01:04these guys are much this is an older team it's not a young team anymore like it was when they
01:08were
01:08winning all those pennants so it shouldn't be surprising really to anybody that houston doesn't
01:14find anyone i guess the only question is how fast can they bring back lambert because he was the guy
01:19that at least got them there on sunday it seems like he's a somewhat capable arm the other player
01:24who they signed the offseason i think mike burrows that was another one that they thought would be a
01:27good starter for them joe is a horrible horrible starting rotation for houston and the dynamic there
01:35is uh the owner is jim crane and then you know jeff bagwell seems to have a really strong opinion
01:42or at
01:42least his opinion is really influenced and so i i don't know which way houston is going to go from
01:48here but houston cannot go into next season thinking that this is the same mini magic that
01:54they had at the end of the year seattle already fired their manager and their entire pitching staff
01:58texas fell short the angels are terrible it's such a win winnable division if just any team was halfway
02:05decent yeah it's it's time i think everyone knew it was time and it's i think changes are coming
02:12to houston here like it's common yeah there's only one mainstay and at that point you can't even trust
02:20that out they might they might trade alvarez at some point just start from scratch again so maybe
02:26i wouldn't be i didn't want to say it but you said it i i think it has to be
02:30at least explore like
02:31your your team is not good like i think the run i gotta check their run differential their run
02:36differential i think was horrible this year too i'll check that while you're no no good i mean well i
02:42mean
02:42listen to give him credit i mean the padres run differential wasn't great either by the time
02:46we get to the all-star game but they more than made up for it uh at that point
