Brian McTaggart, Astros beat reporter for MLB.com, joins The Matt Thomas Show to break down how injuries to the roster will affect the Astros chances to make the postseason, as well as how the organization will position themselves with the trade deadline approaching. General manager Dana Brown announced Wednesday that starting pitchers Cristian Javier and José Urquidy are both scheduled to have right elbow surgery and will be out for the rest of this season and part of next season. This is another blow to an already damaged rotation. "There is no depth," McTaggart said. "Their roster is a little thin," and "the Triple-A talent is not the greatest." According to McTaggart, Luis Garcia is expected to return "after the All-Star break," and Lance McCullers will be "five weeks behind Garcia." The MLB trade deadline falls on July 30, and McTaggart predicts the Astros "will be buyers" in the first baseman and starting pitching market. "Neither [Jon] Singleton nor [Jose] Abreu have been very good defensively," so "the longer you don't address first base...it's only going to get harder."

Matt Thomas and Ross Villarreal of The Matt Thomas Show review the Houston Astros losing 4-2 against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday at Minute Maid Park. Catcher Yainer Diaz homered in his third straight game, and even though they could not complete the sweep, the Astros won the series 2-1 before heading on the road to take on the Los Angeles Angels for a weekend series starting Friday. Brian McTaggart, Astros beat reporter for MLB.com, joins to discuss how will starting pitching will move forward with Cristian Javier and José Urquidy out for the rest of the season. Matt and Ross read "Mean Tweets" with Chris Gordy about Oklahoma softball, preview the NBA Finals, tell people "Shut Yo Bum Ass Up, Ain't Nobody Got Time" and more.

Brian McTaggart, Astros beat reporter for MLB.com, joins The Astros On-Deck Show following the third straight loss on the road against the Seattle Mariners with the latest defeat ending in a 2-1 final in the 10th inning on Wednesday. Justin Verlander started on the mound, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out nine in over seven innings. Framber Valdez and Hunter Brown have also given the Astros quality starts in this series, but the offense has not been productive. There are "a lot of holes in this lineup," McTaggart said. The Astros have missed Yordan Álvarez's power-hitting in this recent stretch, and McTaggart says Álvarez has lost some discipline at the plate. "He's chasing a little bit more" and "expanding his zone." McTaggart also previews the Astros looking to avoid the series sweep with Spencer Arrighetti on the mound Thursday, discusses Jose Abreu's place in the lineup and gives the latest update on injured starting pitchers José Urquidy and Cristian Javier.

Brian McTaggart, Astros beat reporter for MLB.com, joins The Matt Thomas Show from CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches to talk about the Houston Astros ahead of their spring training matchup against the Washington Nationals. Pitcher Justin Verlander reported to spring training with right shoulder issues and will be placed on the injury list to start the season. However, McTaggart is optimistic about Verlander's progress in spring training. Verlander is "throwing his bullpens without any incidents." As the Astros approach Opening Day, McTaggart expects players such as Grae Kessinger, Jon Singleton and others to make the roster. "The club is looking pretty set right now," McTaggart said. The Astros traded minor league right-hander Carlos Mateo to the Kansas City Royals for Dylan Coleman last December, but McTaggart hasn't been impressed with the prospect's performances in spring training. Coleman "probably hasn't pitched as well as they would've liked." First baseman José Abreu has been recovering from right knee soreness but could return to Grapefruit League action soon. "I would expect him to bounce back." McTaggart also comments on pitcher José Urquidy, who performed well against the Nationals on Saturday. "I wouldn't expect him to be an ace," but "he's pitched really well this spring."

2023 ALCS - Games 3, 4, and 5 @ Globe Life Field Astros (90-72) @ Rangers (90-72) - TEX leads 2-0 The Rangers went into Houston, dominated, and now they head back to Arlington up two games to none in this series. Montgomery and Eovaldi were outstanding, the bats came through in big moments, and the bullpen held on to shut the door. In all facets of the game they have outplayed their rival Astros, but don't assume that will continue with the change in venue. Heading into this series, the Astros were 6-1 this year at Globe Life Field, including the last five in a row. Houston's big bats have clobbered the Texas pitching staff in Arlington. All year Dusty Baker's guys have been road warriors, boasting a 51-30 record away from Minute Maid Park. They will need to continue that trend to stay alive in this series. Mad Max Scherzer returns from a triceps injury to start game 3 for the Rangers, with Christian Javier opposing him for Houston. It's been nearly a month since the future Hall-of-Famer has pitched competitively, so how much will Bruce Bochy get out of him? As for Javier, he's been nearly untouchable in the playoffs for his career. In game 4, Andrew Heaney and José Urquidy will start, but expect their managers to have very short leashes. If the Astros extend the series, game 5 will be a rematch of game 1, with Montgomery and Verlander facing off once again. With the AL Pennant on the line, these two instate rivals will deliver some of the best on-field drama of recent postseason memory.

EPISODIO 603 - José Urquidy podría convertirse en el pitcher mexicano con más participaciones en la historia de la Serie Mundial.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Cleveland Guardians 4, Detroit Tigers 1 – Game 1 Detroit Tigers 7, Cleveland Guardians 5 – Game 2 Washington Nationals 5, Chicago Cubs 4 Chicago White Sox 4, Houston Astros 2 Guardians 4, Tigers 1/Tigers 7, Guardians 5 – Schoop, Carpenter homer, Tigers split DH with Guardians Jonathan Schoop and rookie Kerry Carpenter hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning, and the Detroit Tigers rallied for a 7-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians in the second game of a doubleheader. Detroit snapped an eight-game skid. In the opener, All-Star Andrés Giménez belted a go-ahead, three-run homer in the seventh inning to give AL Central-leading Cleveland a 4-1 win. Giménez added a two-run homer in the nightcap, finishing with four hits and five RBIs on the day. Schoop gave the Tigers a 4-3 lead in the second game when he launched a changeup from Eli Morgan over the wall in left field. Nationals 5, Cubs 4 – Cruz’s eighth-inning homer lifts Nationals over Cubs 5-4 Nelson Cruz hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the eighth inning to lift the Washington Nationals to a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Cruz, who had hit a two-run double in the fifth, smacked a 1-1 pitch from Brandon Hughes (1-1) to center to snap a 4-all tie with one out in the eighth. Carl Edwards Jr. (4-3) pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Kyle Finnegan worked the ninth for his fifth save. Ian Happ hit two solo homers for the Cubs, giving him three in his past three games. White Sox 4, Astros 2 – Moncada, Cueto lead White Sox past Astros 4-2 Yoán Moncada hit a tiebreaking two-run single in Chicago’s four-run eighth inning, and the White Sox beat the Houston Astros 4-2 for their fourth straight win. Chicago’s winning rally started after José Urquidy retired the first two batters. Urquidy was pulled after AJ Pollock’s infield hit, and the White Sox jumped all over Rafael Montero. Andrew Vaughn doubled before Eloy Jiménez bounced a tying two-run double down the third-base line. Walks to José Abreu and Yasmani Grandal loaded the bases for Moncada, who made it 4-2 with a liner into center. Tonight Chicago Cubs (Steele 4-7) at Washington (Corbin 4-16), 7:05 p.m. Detroit (Hill 2-3) at Cleveland (Plesac 2-10), 7:10 p.m.              WSJM/WCSY 6:50 Houston (Verlander 15-3) at Chicago White Sox (Cease 12-5), 8:10 p.m. MLB – Rangers fire manager Chris Woodward short of his 500th game The Texas Rangers have fired manager Chris Woodward with the team on pace for its sixth consecutive losing season. Woodward has managed the team for almost four seasons. The move came with Woodward two games short of his 500th game with the Rangers. He finished with a 211-287 record in his first managerial job. Woodward was under contract through next season, and the team held an option for 2024. Third base coach Tony Beasley was named the team’s interim manager. Texas is 52-63 after beating Oakland 2-1 on Monday night. MLB – World Series to start on a Friday, could see latest end ever The World Series is scheduled to start on a Friday for the first time since 1915 and could end on Nov. 5, its latest ever. That’s because of the lockout that delayed opening day. Major League Baseball said Monday its expanded postseason will begin with all four games in the new wild-card series on Oct. 7. The other games are Oct. 8 and 9, if necessary. Each best-of-five Division Series starts Oct. 11. The best-of-seven Championship Series starts Oct. 18 in the NL and Oct. 19 in the AL. The World Series begins Oct. 28, matching its latest start, in 2009. The latest a Series game has been played is Nov. 4, in 2001 and again in 2009. NCAAFB – No. 1 Alabama tops preseason AP Top 25; Ohio St, ‘Dawgs next Alabama is No. 1 in the preseason AP Top 25 for the second straight season. That is also the ninth time overall, second most in poll history. The Crimson Tide received 54 of 63 first-place votes. Ohio State is No. 2 with six first-place votes. Defending national champion Georgia is third with three first-place votes. Clemson is No. 4 and Notre Dame rounds out the top five. The Tide’s preseason No. 1 ranking is the seventh in 15 years. Since the preseason rankings started in 1950, only Oklahoma has been No. 1 in the initial poll more than Alabama. NCAAFB – CFP championship games to return to Atlanta, South Florida Atlanta and South Florida have been selected to host College Football Playoff national championship games for the second time. The CFP announced that Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, would be the site of the title game scheduled to be played in January 2026, the final game of the current 12-year media rights deal with ESPN. Miami Gardens hosted the 2021 game, following the 2020 pandemic-altered season. Attendance was limited to about 15,000 fans. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press that Atlanta would host the championship game in 2025. Mercedes-Benz was the site of the 2018 title game. NCAAFB – Big Ten Preview – Michigan Jim Harbaugh’s eighth team is his first at Michigan that is coming off a win over Ohio State. The Wolverines’ new challenge is to beat the Buckeyes on the road for the first time since 2000. The Wolverines went 12-2 last year, finishing No. 3 in The Associated Press college football poll. They won the Big Ten title and earned a spot in the College Football Playoff for the first time. The Wolverines are ranked eighth in the preseason AP Top 25. They open at home Sept. 3 against Colorado State. NCAAFB – Big Ten Preview – Michigan State Michigan State is openly talking about winning a national championship. The Spartans lost three starters on defense and six starters on offense, including award-winning running back Kenneth Walker III. Quarterback Payton Thorne and do-it-all Jayden Reed return to give the team a potent passing game that could open up the running game. The Spartans open at home Sept. 2 against Western Michigan. NFL – Lions’ Funchess making adjustment to tight end position Devin Funchess, hoping to play in the NFL for the first time since 2019, made the most of his opportunities in the Detroit Lions’ preseason opener. The former Michigan star had 21 touchdown receptions for the Carolina Panthers over the first four years of his career before it was slowed by injuries and the COVID-19 pandemic. On Friday night against the Atlanta Falcons, Funchess played in just 21 snaps on offense, but he capitalized on the playing time by catching four passes for 19 yards and a touchdown. He converted a key third-and-8 by breaking a tackle on his way to a 9-yard gain. Two plays later, he had a highlight-reel hurdle of Atlanta Falcons defensive back Tre Webb on his way to another first down. WNBA – WNBA’s Brittney Griner appeals her Russian prison sentence Russian news agencies reported that lawyers for American basketball star Brittney Griner have filed an appeal of her nine-year Russian prison sentence for drug possession. The appeal comes as the U.S. and Russia are holding talks that could lead to a high-profile prisoner swap. Griner is an eight-time all-star center with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and two-time Olympic gold medalist. She was convicted Aug. 4 after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at a Moscow airport. Griner admitted that she had the canisters in her luggage, but said she had inadvertently packed them in haste and that she had no criminal intent..

Woodward has managed the team for almost four seasons. The move came with Woodward two games short of his 500th game with the Rangers. He finished with a 211-287 record in his first managerial job. Woodward was under contract through next season, and the team held an option for 2024. Third base coach Tony Beasley was named the team’s interim manager. Texas is 52-63 after beating Oakland 2-1 on Monday night. MLB – World Series to start on a Friday, could see latest end ever The World Series is scheduled to start on a Friday for the first time since 1915 and could end on Nov. 5, its latest ever. That’s because of the lockout that delayed opening day. Major League Baseball said Monday its expanded postseason will begin with all four games in the new wild-card series on Oct. 7. The other games are Oct. 8 and 9, if necessary. Each best-of-five Division Series starts Oct. 11. The best-of-seven Championship Series starts Oct. 18 in the NL and Oct. 19 in the AL. The World Series begins Oct. 28, matching its latest start, in 2009. The latest a Series game has been played is Nov. 4, in 2001 and again in 2009. NCAAFB – No. 1 Alabama tops preseason AP Top 25; Ohio St, ‘Dawgs next Alabama is No. 1 in the preseason AP Top 25 for the second straight season. That is also the ninth time overall, second most in poll history. The Crimson Tide received 54 of 63 first-place votes. Ohio State is No. 2 with six first-place votes. Defending national champion Georgia is third with three first-place votes. Clemson is No. 4 and Notre Dame rounds out the top five. The Tide’s preseason No. 1 ranking is the seventh in 15 years. Since the preseason rankings started in 1950, only Oklahoma has been No. 1 in the initial poll more than Alabama. NCAAFB – CFP championship games to return to Atlanta, South Florida Atlanta and South Florida have been selected to host College Football Playoff national championship games for the second time. The CFP announced that Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, would be the site of the title game scheduled to be played in January 2026, the final game of the current 12-year media rights deal with ESPN. Miami Gardens hosted the 2021 game, following the 2020 pandemic-altered season. Attendance was limited to about 15,000 fans. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press that Atlanta would host the championship game in 2025. Mercedes-Benz was the site of the 2018 title game. NCAAFB – Big Ten Preview – Michigan Jim Harbaugh’s eighth team is his first at Michigan that is coming off a win over Ohio State. The Wolverines’ new challenge is to beat the Buckeyes on the road for the first time since 2000. The Wolverines went 12-2 last year, finishing No. 3 in The Associated Press college football poll. They won the Big Ten title and earned a spot in the College Football Playoff for the first time. The Wolverines are ranked eighth in the preseason AP Top 25. They open at home Sept. 3 against Colorado State. NCAAFB – Big Ten Preview – Michigan State Michigan State is openly talking about winning a national championship. The Spartans lost three starters on defense and six starters on offense, including award-winning running back Kenneth Walker III. Quarterback Payton Thorne and do-it-all Jayden Reed return to give the team a potent passing game that could open up the running game. The Spartans open at home Sept. 2 against Western Michigan. NFL – Lions’ Funchess making adjustment to tight end position Devin Funchess, hoping to play in the NFL for the first time since 2019, made the most of his opportunities in the Detroit Lions’ preseason opener. The former Michigan star had 21 touchdown receptions for the Carolina Panthers over the first four years of his career before it was slowed by injuries and the COVID-19 pandemic. On Friday night against the Atlanta Falcons, Funchess played in just 21 snaps on offense, but he capitalized on the playing time by catching four passes for 19 yards and a touchdown. He converted a key third-and-8 by breaking a tackle on his way to a 9-yard gain. Two plays later, he had a highlight-reel hurdle of Atlanta Falcons defensive back Tre Webb on his way to another first down. WNBA – WNBA’s Brittney Griner appeals her Russian prison sentence Russian news agencies reported that lawyers for American basketball star Brittney Griner have filed an appeal of her nine-year Russian prison sentence for drug possession. The appeal comes as the U.S. and Russia are holding talks that could lead to a high-profile prisoner swap. Griner is an eight-time all-star center with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and two-time Olympic gold medalist. She was convicted Aug. 4 after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at a Moscow airport. Griner admitted that she had the canisters in her luggage, but said she had inadvertently packed them in haste and that she had no criminal intent..

The 2022 New York Yankees are going to close out a June with a record at least 35 games over .500. It's patently absurd, and Andrew & Kunj can't get enough of it. There was no way that the Astros series was going to be normal, right? The opener was three-run homer mayhem capped by Aaron Hicks' game-tying homer in the bottom of the ninth and Aaron Judge's walk-off hit. Next came dominance from Houston pitching as Justin Verlander shoved on Friday, Cristian Javier and two relievers combined on the first no-hitter against the Yankees in 19 years, and José Urquidy flirted with a no-no in the finale, too. But Giancarlo Stanton, DJ LeMahieu, and that Judge guy again came back to stun the Astros, splitting the series at two victories apiece. As a palate cleanser, the Yankees hosted the last-place A's for three and took care of business with three wins in a row, though a few weird innings made things interesting. Guest-starring in that A's series was the title character of our podcast episode, JP Sears, who filled in with 5.2 shutout innings. The Yankees' unofficial No. 6 starter has a 0.00 ERA.

En 2019, José Urquidy se convirtió en el tercer pitcher mexicano en ganar un juego de Serie Mundial. Con tan sólo 24 años de edad, y en su temporada de novato, José vio el mundo desde la cima. Esta es la fórmula del éxito, la ética de trabajo, y la ilusión de un pitcher mexicano que ha logrado ganarse un lugar en uno de los equipos mas potentes de las Ligas Mayores.

Gallo vs Chocolatito. Llega el Clásico del futbol mexicano. José Urquidy se siente bien en el spring training.
