Astros in Freefall: Frustration and Analysis

Astros’ Losing Streak and Decrepit Play

• Frustration Boils Over: The Astros have not won a game in over a week, having been swept by the Orioles over the weekend (5–2, 3–2, and 4–2 in 11 innings).
  • Sean: “No, no, no, no. We’re still waiting on a win, man. Been over a week now since they won a baseball game.” (02:20)
• Cole Lampoons Lazy Plays: Cole describes particularly frustrating moments, including poor base awareness and hustle.
  • On Yainer’s positioning: “Yiner’s just standing randomly as a spectator on the first.” (03:14)
  • On Zach Dezenzo: “Dezenzo is A, unaware that the ball’s on the ground, and B, just doesn’t even make any kind of an effort. He’s just slowly walking towards the dugout like his mentor, Christian Walker... This is what Christian Walker does. He mopes. He’s mope.” (03:26)
  • Sean’s dig: “He’s just trying to do a reasonable facsimile of Christian. He’s trying to be the best Christian Walker he can be.” (04:09)
• Standings Reality: Astros fall four games out of the division, four and a half out of the Wild Card.
  • Sean: “This thing feels like it’s slipping away a little bit as far as transactions go over the weekend.” (04:12)
• Pitching Moves: Brian King demoted. Renell Blanco returns from Tommy John surgery—“reason to watch” tonight.
  • Sean: “This is intriguing for me tonight. Renell Blanco on the mound for the first time since he had Tommy John surgery 14 months ago... What happened? Renell Blanco, no-hitter.” (05:16)
  • Cole: “Can he stop the bleeding tonight with a no hitter throwing only 75?” (05:21)
• Expanded Playoffs Critique:
  • Cole: “The expanded playoffs make it feel like they’ve diluded all of these fan bases... into thinking like, oh, we’re only a few games out of the wildcard and the better team than you realize...” (06:01)
  • Both hosts agree that the Astros are especially “dilutable”—their own fanbase is at risk of wishful thinking due to playoff expansion.
    • Sean: “They’ve diluted all these fan bases, and the Astros feel like one of the most dilutable teams out of all these teams...” (06:18)

2026 World Cup Final: Spain vs. Argentina

Game Recap and Banter

• Result Recap: Spain beats Argentina 1–0 after a dramatic match in which Argentina gets a late red card and misses several late chances.
  • Sean: “Spain takes that one nothing lead... Argentina was putting the pressure on at the end of this game. They had a bunch of chances to tie... and they did not. So congratulations to Spain, World cup winner.” (08:14)
• Pool Victory & Banter:
  • Cole brags: “I did, I did [win the pool]... Because you know what? I grew up on the streets of Farmington playing futsal instead of... these fancy... pay to play soccer academies... you play with a smaller ball.” (08:40)
  • Lighthearted nostalgia and ribbing about playing soccer barefoot, wearing goodwill gear, etc. (08:56–09:15)
• Notable Stat (Meme-worthy):
  • Sean/Producer: “Spain... did not allow a single goal. They have more wins on American soil in this playoff run than the Dallas Cowboys have since 2000.” (09:24)
  • Cole: “I like that for you, Spain. I like you. I’m happy for them.” (09:41)
  • They riff on “America’s Team” irony.
• Other Playoff Trivia:
  • Sean: “The Falcons have never won a playoff game [at] Mercedes Benz Stadium.” (09:58)
  • Pace of stadium replacement in Atlanta—good-natured mockery about a nearly “old” stadium. (10:12)

LeBron Watch and Fanatics Fest Oddities

No Big News on LeBron

• The much-hyped “LeBron Watch” yields no actual news from Fanatics Fest; the only viral moment is a failed backflip by NFL rookie Cam Skattebo.
  • Sean: “The only thing we got at Fanatics Fest that was of note was Cam Scatterbo doing a backhand, a flip. Not a handspring, a flip, a backflip. And not nailing the landing.” (10:47–10:55)
  • Cole: “Looking kind of precarious coming off of a pretty bad injury and surgery last year.” (10:56)
• Skattebo’s Antics:
  • They explain he did it on a WWE-style stage which “screwed up” the landing.
  • Cole: “Hey, don’t worry, everybody. I was doing it in an unfamiliar environment...” (11:21)
  • Both hosts predict Skattebo will soon be an NFL trivia question—“a beautiful comet across the sky for two or three years.”
• Mocking “Dumb Jocks”:
  • Sean: “I’m just glad they’re not the team I’m rooting for.” (12:05)
  • Cole (embracing the chaos): “You know, like everybody’s so smart these days. Give me a couple of dumb jocks.” (12:01)
  • Discussion shifts to Texans vs. Giants, and how goofy, injury-prone players progress on other teams.

Looking Ahead: Texans QB C.J. Stroud and Playoff Pressure

• Tease for the 7 o’clock hour: When will C.J. Stroud shut up doubters?
  • Can he do it in 2026, or will it take a playoff run?
  • Also, mention of Warren Moon’s recent interview about criticism of Stroud. (12:42)

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Pain and pender gas. With today's headlines, I wonder if.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

All right, let's.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

There's a tricky door scenario. Cole might be stuck trying to get.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Okay, well, we got to do headlines. Okay, so he's gonna be stuck.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

You want him doing solo and I go try to get him or. No, no, we'll be okay.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

You and I can do headlines. Yeah, we'll be all right. If he's that. That door, you just got to jiggle it a little bit. Yeah, it'll be all right. He'll be okay.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

I had a dream that I couldn't get a key to work last night. This is reminding me here. Yeah, it was a premonition probably. For the difficulties that Cole is having.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Your dream is being projected on him right now.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

You know when you got a tricky key situ. You know when somebody tell. You know when somebody gives you a key to their house but they didn't tell you. They don tell you that. It's a tricky key situation.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

You got to kind of flick it to the left a little bit, but

[Sports Commentator Cole]

you have no idea if you just have the wrong key or not.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

So you end up yeah, he's got

[Sports Commentator Sean]

my key fob, so he's got the proper artillery to get in. But let's just you and I do headlines, and we'll figure the rest out.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

I was just filibustering just in case I. Maybe I had the details wrong and the Astros actually won a game.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

No, no, no, no. We're still waiting on a win, man. Spin over a week now since they. Since they won a baseball game. Uh, and so, yeah, it's not like they went into the break on a. On a tear or anything like that. They get swept by the orioles this weekend, 5 to 2 yesterday. So 3 to 2 on Friday, 4 to 2 on Saturday, and 11 innings.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

I didn't look if anybody's tuning in and didn't. Didn't get to hear how disgusted Sean and Cole and I were early on. I don't want to lose that energy or that passion. This was disgusting. This was ridiculously, annoyingly decrepit baseball. And it was. You know, the. The most frustrating thing was on Saturday when you had the two circumstances. One where Yiner, on a play where there's a ball hit to Altuve. It's a. It's a. There's a. There's a man on third, and Altuve, he's on second. Excuse me. On second. On second. Yeah. And second, he'd get to third very quickly.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

And El.

[Fred's Appliance Announcer]

Stop.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Yeah. Altuve, look, probably isn't going to make the play, but, like, has no chance to try to make the throw at home because Yiners just standing randomly on as a spectator on the first.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Baseball is not going to catch that ball and tag the guy.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

And then on the very last at bat, Zach to Zenzo on his third strike. The. The. The catcher drops the ball and is scrambling for the ball. And disenzo is A, unaware that the ball's on the ground, and B, just doesn't even make any kind of an effort. He's just slowly walking towards the dugout like his mentor, Christian Walker. Yeah, that's what made me angriest about that. I'm looking at him like, disenzo. What the hell are you doing? You're in no position to act like Joe Vet here. Be a vet vet and be lazy here. Get your ass to first base. And then I remembered, oh, yeah, he's pinch hitting for. Or he's in for Christian Walker. And this is what Christian Walker does. He mopes. He's mope.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

He's just trying to do a reasonable facsimile.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Of Christian. He's trying to Be the best Christian Walker that he can be.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Zach disenzo. So the Astros get swept by the Orioles. They are now four games out of the division. They are four and a half games out of the wild card. This thing feels like it's slipping away a little bit as far as transactions go over the weekend. Brian King, who's been just horrible of late, he can go be horrible for Sugar Land, the Space Cowboys, that's where they sent him yesterday. Renell Blanco is back tonight. If you're looking for a reason that now that is. Look, I'm going to watch anyways because I'm, you know, this is the, the life we've chosen and they're still in the hunt. And I just, I like sit. I like the routine of sitting down and watching baseball games. Unpleasant as it may have been over the weekend, this is intriguing for me tonight. Renell Blanco on the mound for the first time since he had Tommy John surgery 14 months ago. This is a good reason to watch tonight's game. So similar to when Renell Blanco's star first began to rise. If you recall, the first start Renell Blanco had in 2024 followed a sweep by the Yankees of the Astros to open the season. What happened? Renell Blanco, no hitter.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

That's right.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Can he stop the bleeding tonight with a no hitter throwing only 75?

[Sports Commentator Cole]

We're, we're in a second season in a row where it feels like the big, the big, the big trade acquisition might be. Hey, guys. Returning from the aisle.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Oh, yeah, Wisneski might be back by Friday.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Yeah, yeah, another one. A big. Dana Brown's big look. That was part of the mega trade there and all that.

[Sports Commentator]

It was fine.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

I also, by the way, I don't, you know, what we should start doing while the Astros, at least while they're performing the way they did this weekend. I don't like with the expanded playoffs saying that they're four and a half games out of the playoffs. Let's call it what it is. Like they're five and a half games out of the wild card without the expanded playoffs.

[Sports Commentator]

So leave it at five teams then.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

What's that? Leave it at four. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is right now. It's not that big of a difference. But I this, the expanded playoffs make it feel like they've deluded all of these fan bases like our own into thinking like, oh, we're only a few games out of the wild card and the better team than you realize or

[Sports Commentator Sean]

think the problem is. They've. Yeah, they've diluted all these fan bases, and the Astros feel like one of the most dilutable.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Teams out of all these teams, you know, that they're, they're not going to take a good look at themselves and say, you know what? Maybe we should be a little more pragmatic. All right, headlines. World cup is over. Spain won Argentina nothing. Yesterday, Argentina got a red card late in regulation. In this game, Spain had the pressure. Most of that game was played down in Argentina.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Argentina's end of the field. It was an exciting game. Spain takes that one nothing lead in. In extra time in the second half of extra time. And. And Argentina was putting the pressure on at the end of this game. They had a bunch of chances to tie this game and send it to penalty kicks, and they did not. So congratulations to Spain, World cup winner.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

I feel like we probably have more.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

You won the pool, by the way.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

I did. I did. I did. Well, this is what happens because you know what? I grew up on the, on the streets of Farmington playing futsal instead of going one of these fancy, you know, pay to play soccer academies. It's a little, you know, you play with a smaller Ball. Which is. This is where in Farmington and in Brazil, the. The kids played in the streets.

[Keenan Thompson]

They did.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Yeah. So I didn't. You know, I didn't.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Barefoot.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

I didn't have these rich kids, rich parents that would send me off to some high fl.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

You didn't have shoes?

[Sports Commentator Cole]

No, no, no. Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

No shin guards, nothing like that.

[Sports Commentator]

You have a kit that you were wearing on. On Saturdays for practice.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Right, right.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

And it was kind of a goodwill,

[Sports Commentator Cole]

and that's why I'm so good at that soccer pool.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Oh, yeah. I won it before they even played yesterday.

[Ella Langley / Sydney Sweeney]

I know.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

You routed everybody. So crazy.

[Sports Commentator]

Do you guys want to hear a crazy stat that I didn't believe until I read it?

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Crazy stat, Cole.

[Sports Commentator]

In this past playoff run for Spain, they won five games. They also did not.

[Dr. Horton Announcer]

Shane.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

And like, the knock of the knockout.

[Sports Commentator]

Knockout run. They won five games. They did not allow a single goal. They have more wins on American soil in this playoff run than the Dallas Cowboys have since 2000.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

More playoff wins.

[Sports Commentator]

Yes.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

I like that for you, Spain. I like you. I'm happy for them.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

I like any of these stats that make fun of teams that aren't my teams. Like, when.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

So they're more of America's team.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

In terms of playoff wins.

[Sports Commentator]

Would you see the. The Falcons one? Like, how many teams have won a playoff game in their building before. The Falcons.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Yeah, The Falcons have never won a playoff game. Mercedes Benz Stadium.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Oh, really?

[Sports Commentator]

Yeah. There's been, like, they did, like, Atlanta fc. They did multiple college football playoff teams. They did England in one game. It was like a laundry list of teams.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

There's a bunch of locations.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

They got to hurry up because by modern standards, that stadium is about to get replaced. It's old. It's almost a decade old, isn't it?

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Atlanta ain't afraid to replace stadiums either.

[Sports Commentator]

So what happens? First to a. Gets better. They announced the new stadium getting built.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Yeah. Stadium.

[Sports Commentator]

Yes. The answer. Yes.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

So, yeah, the one I liked was Argentina paying tribute to the jets by not scoring at MetLife State yesterday. That was funny. All right. LeBron watch continues. Nothing at Fanatics Fest from over the weekend. The only thing we got at Fanatics Fest that was of note.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Oh, this is it. Fanatics Fest. Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Was Cam Scatterbo doing a backhand, a flip.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Not a handspring, a flip, a backflip. And not nailing the landing.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

No.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Looking kind of precarious coming off of a pretty bad injury and surgery last year.

[Keenan Thompson]

Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Pretty bad injury. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, Scatterbo now, I saw an interview he did later in the weekend at Fanatics Fest. Apparently he was there a couple of times and apparently the back flip that he did was I think on a WWE stage.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

So was it.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

It was like a rain springy. He said he wasn't expecting.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Is that. That's what screwed up. Hey, don't worry, everybody. I was doing it on an unfamiliar. In an unfamiliar environment.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

What an idiot. We've got Scatterbow Audio. We'll. No.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

He's going to be a beautiful comet across the sky for two or three years in the NFL. He'll be a trivia question within a few years.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Watching Cam Scatterbo and Jackson Dart do a sit down with somebody.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

And the camera's just kind of panning back and forth between the two and Jackson Dart's got this ball cap on. It's just. It looks stupid. It just looks. Maybe I'm being a boomer. It looks. He looks stupid. Basically, Cam Scatterbo sounds stupid. I'm like, if I were a Giants fan, I don't know what I would think. Right.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

I kind of like them. I feel like they're a throwback to just dumb jocks.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Okay.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

You know, like everybody's got so smart these days. Give me a couple of dumb jobs.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

It's okay to like them. I'm just glad they're not the team I'm rooting for.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Well, no, and that's the interesting thing is why by the time the Texans play the Giants, where are these dumb jocks and how are they progressing?

[Sports Commentator]

Where is he even on the field at this point or is he injured?

[Sports Commentator Cole]

Well, talk about meatheads. Look seriously like Scatterboat. Super meathead.

[Sports Commentator]

Yeah.

[Sports Commentator Cole]

And then Jackson Dart forever all off season was saying, I'm not changing the way I play. Nope. I'm going to keep running. John Harbaugh got to him because the last time I watched him in an interview, he said it was during the OTAs or minicamps. He said, yeah, I gotta. I gotta learn, you know, to. I was about to say use discretion. He didn't use that word.

[Sports Commentator Sean]

Me use discretion. All right. 7 o' clock hour coming up. All right. Does C.J. stroud, who's been a big topic this off season, does he have the chance. How soon does C.J. stroud have the chance to shut up his doubters for 2026? 2026? Or do we have to wait for the playoffs for that to happen? And Warren Moon was on this station yesterday with Zach Gelb and B. Scott and had some interesting things to say. About the criticism of CJ Stroud. We'll discuss that coming up next.
