00:00But the big story, Seth, is the fire that you and I have lit under future Hall of Famer
00:05Jose Altuve.
00:07Since being excluded from the Payne and Pendergast circle of trust last week, Jose Altuve, these
00:15are the numbers.
00:1612 for 21, four home runs, seven RBI, nine runs scored, and a slash line of a 571 batting
00:28average, 591 on base percentage, and an 1143 slugging.
00:35Add it all up.
00:36That is a 1734 OPS for Jose Altuve, who was just so nonplussed by the athletics last night
00:46that he's like, no, I don't even feel like coming back out to try to get my first five-hit
00:49game.
00:50That's okay.
00:51You can let DiZenzo pinch hit for me.
00:53That's fine.
00:53But Blum and Callis were so disappointed that Jose Altuve didn't come back out.
00:58He's never had a five-hit game before.
01:00A lot of guys, like Jeremy Payne, he's had a five-hit game.
01:02George Springer had a six-hit game back in the day.
01:04For as great a hitter as Altuve is, and for as many batting titles as he won early in his
01:08career, he's never had a five-hit game.
01:10So as soon as he got that fourth hit, it was really funny.
01:13Because Callis and Blum, appropriately so, started pitching the whole, like, hey, stick
01:19around, Jose Altuve's going first, first off, five-hit game.
01:23And when they looked over in the ninth inning, or I guess it was the eighth inning, bottom
01:26of the eighth, and just thought they canceled Christmas.
01:32Like, it was, they're looking over there like, oh, Jose's not up there.
01:36I like it better if it stays that way.
01:38I like the, you know, it's a nice trivia question someday.
01:42However many Hall of Fame hitters never had a five-hit game, Altuve will be in that distinct
01:48list.
01:49Yeah, it doesn't bother me one way or the other.
01:51I just, their reaction to it was so funny.
