00:00he pitched six innings he struck out 12 sam that's two digits one two one two three earned

00:08runs and one walk so you know a part look part of it is that too like i feel when i get something

00:14wrong the previous week let me go ahead and make a correction and obviously george at this point

00:19lance mcculler's not done and any thought that maybe he would just you know go to the bullpen

00:25or something like that i believe if i'm not mistaken ronnell blanco's having tommy johnny's

00:28out for the year so that means mcculler's is here to stay i think you would think sam well listen

00:35we'll continue to throw sam under the bus why not you would think he would know that we also like

00:39to pick guys the way we have things we can talk about about that player and mcculler's is a really

00:43good talking story here because uh you know he returned from the injury right and uh

00:48uh boy folks if you can only see what's going on behind the scenes here um and he's returned from

00:56injury he's pitching well here and he's probably available in a lot of fantasy leagues all right

01:00and now he's mentioned oh yeah 12 strikeouts six innings sure you're three earned runs here

01:05and no that's not a quality start i don't care what they'd say but it's 4.5 a year away so it's

01:09not a good start all right yeah you're not a major league pitch if you do that but whatever i digress

01:13uh yeah i think he's going to be somebody you want to pick up here for houston who hopefully will

01:17have a better segment it's always have to hit the ball a little more get you some w's there

01:21i just said oh you know if you look at it as a whole it's not it's just a regular study but he

01:25had double digit strikeouts but as far as lance mcculler's it's good to see him uh return to

01:30pitching it's been so long for him and return to pitching effectively which is what i think we're

01:33looking for by the way he's getting better he's had 20 strikeouts his last two stars this might

01:37not to be a one-off thing either remember when the astros were they had that run of world series do

01:45you remember who else was in that rotation george at that time do you remember some of the names

01:49i mean two of them are easy i remember some of the names i don't i'm trying to figure where

01:54you're going with this who uh no i'm just asking it was that long ago a long time ago

01:58right cole verlander uh valdez who won the cy young though on that team you remember

02:06no oh no it wasn't him wrong team oh no maybe it was it oh the guy he tortured the yankees for

02:19a while dallas keichel yes that's the guy that was high cool

02:22yeah he was uh i'm just gonna sit here sam for you in silence for the next five minutes okay

02:28kevin the best thing we've had all season that's not saying much kevin gossman george is your ace of

02:36the week he is he's on several of my teams here uh and he had a great start here i was rooting for

02:43the complete game too he's been up and down uh you know two great starts one terrible start one

02:50good one i mean kind of guy sort of driving you crazy here but he he's been good really good two

02:54of his last three starts here kevin gossman used to be that ace right he's been that guy you know

02:59you wonder if he can get it back lord knows the blue jays need him to get it back uh to be to go

03:03where they want to go here so yeah i thought he had a great start i thought there were several other

03:06choices as well i got yelled at for sending more than one by the way just pick one all right could

03:11have been uh could have been college or don i thought was great for the yankees who's uh better

03:15at not much get another good start to the season here uh but yeah gossman i thought deserved it

03:19eight innings uh six strikeouts one hit great start by kevin especially in toronto which is a fan box

03:25yeah texas is just awful i got this big disappointment for me i mean i didn't think

03:31they'd pitch at all i mean while they're pitching great they can't hit all right sam is weighing in

03:35with his ace of the week it is mckenzie gore of the washington nationals at seattle

03:40gore's great we know this six innings pitch no one runs no walks and eight strikeouts

03:47yeah i think george if you could vote on like the triple crown uh i'm sorry like yeah the triple

03:54crown of like in order who would win the cy young and the nl i i think if you did like top three bet

04:00i think gore would finish in the three he'd be uh skeet is going to be there wheel is going to be

04:07there so he's better than everybody else i'm going to say i'm going to take the field on that i'm

04:11going to say no he wouldn't be down three

04:12you

04:16you

04:18you
