00:00We've got the Rays taking on the Astros.
00:02Should be some good matchups this weekend.
00:04Saturday, not as good as Sunday,
00:05but Zach Littell starts for the Rays today
00:07against Colton Gordon, left-handed pitcher
00:10who takes over for Blanco.
00:12Sunday, it's Taj Bradley against one of the AL's best
00:15in Hunter Brown.
00:18Houston, quietly, George, is climbing up a little bit here
00:21in the American League Central,
00:22just like they did a year ago.
00:25They do this every damn year.
00:28All right, they're in first place in the West.
00:29Okay, first place.
00:30They're not climbing up.
00:31They're in first place.
00:32I mean, and it seems like they've had a bad year, right?
00:35It just seems like they've had a bad year.
00:36Now, they're only five games above 500.
00:38I get it.
00:38That's a weak division.
00:39But, hey, they're in first place there.
00:41Seattle is buying by a half game
00:43after last night's results here.
00:45And there's no Jordan Alvarez, right?
00:47He's been out a while.
00:48No, they think they're going to get him back this week.
00:51All right, Altuve's been so, so.
00:52Pena's carrying the team of late.
00:54Christian Walker, terrible start.
00:56Then he got hot again, you know, so he's going up there.
00:58Isaac Paredes has really been pretty quiet there.
01:00So, in my mind, they have room for improvement.
01:03But you mentioned earlier in the show,
01:04Blanco's gone now.
01:05They're going to need pitching reinforcements
01:07outside of Lance McCullers.
01:08So, they'll need to make a move sooner or later.
01:10But in a division where no one's running away from it,
01:12yeah, they're going to be around all year again.
01:14Let's get to the Red Sox and Braves.
01:18Walker Buehler on the mound for Boston today in Atlanta
01:21against Spencer Schwellenbach.
01:22And then Sunday, we got the premium matchup of Garrett Crochet
01:26against Spencer Strider, who finally lost against Philadelphia
01:29earlier in the week.
01:31Yeah, they weren't really very happy that he hit Bryce Harper, right?
01:34Who still hasn't played a game.
01:36I haven't checked.
01:37He's in the game.
01:38I mean, it's today's starting line.
01:39But Harper got hit in that elbow.
01:40X-ray's negative, but he hasn't played since.
01:42Strider hasn't been himself yet.
01:44You know, the Braves also don't score in his starts.
01:49So, it's been a two-fold problem there.
01:51Braves beat up on Boston and Fenway last weekend.
01:54But, you know, last night, Giolito shut them down here.
01:57So, we'll see if that trend continues here.
01:59Walker Buehler is another guy I just can't get away from.
02:02I think he could be a really good pitcher.
02:04We'll see.
02:05You know, he got thrown out of the game there.
02:08Was he against Boston?
02:10Oh, no, against the Mets in Boston.
02:12Ah, there's Zoe.
02:13He got thrown out there.
02:14There's so-so start next.
02:15We'll see what he can do against Atlanta here.
02:16Acuna's back.
02:18I do – I'm waiting for the Braves to take off now.
02:20Now you've got Acuna back.
02:21Now you've got Strider back.
02:23You know, sort of waiting for them to take off.
02:24But I just don't know if they're going to be able to do that, Craig.
02:27You know, you've got Grant Holmes in the rotation, Elder.
02:30You know, it's going to be tough to win those games over and over again,
02:32especially when your offense for over a year now is not hitting like you thought they would hit.
02:36You know, it's going to be tough to win those games over again.
