Eric HuysmanHOST
So they're not gonna blame Josh Miller.
Eric HuysmanHOST
Uh, Josh Miller is part of the, um, Brent Strom, uh, the, uh, uh, the, I guess the discipleship.
Eric HuysmanHOST
And so, um, maybe if Stromy comes back, then maybe he can kind of, uh, be the assistant to Josh Miller and Strom can still be involved, but he doesn't want to be the everyday guy.
Eric HuysmanHOST
So, uh, I thi- I see that as a logist- I mean, a logical thing.
Eric HuysmanHOST
Now, the question is, A, is he comfortable being in Houston? And is he comfortable with the pitching staff? And there could be a chance.
Eric HuysmanHOST
Like you said, can he stay in Houston? And can the Astros bring back Brent Strom? And then all of a sudden, Stromy fixes him and fixes the wildness, fixes the confidence and makes him that dynamic pitcher he was in Japan.
Eric HuysmanHOST
All of a sudden, then, yes, then he gets that great success that would help the Astros in 2027, and then all of a sudden he can opt out as a success story and not as a failure like you're bringing up.
Brett ChanceyHOST
Right.
10 MINS LATER
Brett ChanceyHOST
Maybe they tried to get him to do things and he didn't listen.
Brett ChanceyHOST
We don't know those behind the door conversations.
Brett ChanceyHOST
And Brent Strom coming back, he may not even be back.
Brett ChanceyHOST
He was here on a temporary basis, pulled out of retirement if he sticks around.
Lexi IwanoADVERTISER
I don't really care.
Tyler StaffordHOST
Does Brent Strom stay with
Chandler RomeHOST
you? Do you think he's back next year? I do.
Chandler RomeHOST
I think he will be back.
Brett ChanceyHOST
But the Astros will have to figure that out in their pitching department.
Brett ChanceyHOST
And I think another cog in this wheel, Eric, is do they bring back someone like Brent Strom? Is Brent Strom done with baseball or is he going to come back to the Astros? And is Brent Strom waiting? Because he could have his way.
Brett ChanceyHOST
He could say yes or no if they ask him.
Brett ChanceyHOST
He's not under any obligation to stay around.
Judd ZulgadHOST
I wonder if, if Shelty just ha- has a guy that, that he likes as well from, you ...
Judd ZulgadHOST
There, there's been talk about, what is it, Brent Strom, who, who was with the Astros forever, and then I think he was a consultant or he was a member of the, the Pirates coaching staff with Shelty, but it wasn't as his pitching coach.
Judd ZulgadHOST
Uh, 'cause I thought that-
Trevor PlouffeGUEST
Yeah
Judd ZulgadHOST
You know what? I'd love it.
Judd ZulgadHOST
Shelty should go get a ball guy, just an old school ball guy.
Trevor PlouffeGUEST
That's kind of Brent Strom, right?
Judd ZulgadHOST
Yeah.
Brett ChanceyHOST
Marty Maldonado as a bench coach.
Brett ChanceyHOST
Marty Maldonado as a pitching coach with Brent Strom.
Brett ChanceyHOST
Love that.
Brett ChanceyHOST
But we're not talking about that today.
Jim WoodsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But this year, with a major infusion of money from the club's owner, hamburger czar Ray Kroc, the Padres invested heavily in the free agent market, signing former Oakland A stars Rollie Fingers and Gene Tenace.
Jim WoodsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
As a result, preseason expectations ran high, but those hopes were quickly dashed when the club's pitching staff was decimated by the loss of ace left-handers Randy Jones and Brent Strom due to injuries.
Jim WoodsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So, uh, one of the fine, uh, gentlemen of the baseball game is no longer with us.
Jim WoodsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He is, uh, retiring, leaving, uh, as the, uh, president of the San Diego Padres.
Trevor PlouffeGUEST
Um, but yeah, I don't have too much on, on Pete.
Judd ZulgadHOST
I wonder if Shelty just ha- has a guy that, that he likes as well from y- There, there's been, uh, talk about, what is it? Brent Strom, who, who was with the Astros forever, and I think he was a consultant or he was a member of the, the Pirates coaching staff with Shelty, but it wasn't as his pitching coach.
Judd ZulgadHOST
Uh, 'cause I thought-
Trevor PlouffeGUEST
Yeah
Judd ZulgadHOST
You know what? I'd love it.
Judd ZulgadHOST
Shelty should go get a ball guy, just an old school ball guy.
Trevor PlouffeGUEST
That's kind of Brent Strom-
Judd ZulgadHOST
Slap ball and-
Derek MontillaHOST
by our guy Steve Gilbert.
Derek MontillaHOST
Kaplan spent two seasons with the D-backs after being hired to replace Brent Strom.
Derek MontillaHOST
He had an interesting path to coming here.
Derek MontillaHOST
Kaplan wasn't your typical pitching coach that had a history of... you know, working as that profession at a major league level, uh, before Arizona Kaplan spent three seasons with the Phillies as their assistant pitching coach and the director of pitching.
Judd ZulgadHOST
Okay, there have been reports about what the Twins are going to do at Pitching Coach, and I think some of the reports are potentially spot on.
Judd ZulgadHOST
A blast from the past from the Astros and a guy that worked with Shelty in Pittsburgh, Brent Strom.
Judd ZulgadHOST
who was not, he was not Shelty's pitching coach in Pittsburgh, but he was on the staff.
Judd ZulgadHOST
He will be hired by the Twins in some capacity.
Judd ZulgadHOST
So he's at an age, I don't know that he wants to be the full-time pitching coach, but he and Shelty are definitely aligned on pitching, which it sounds like at the end of the day, I think Shelty knows, he's smart enough to know he doesn't know a ton about pitching, but I think he wants somebody who he can align himself with who can probably, he feels more on the same page with.
Judd ZulgadHOST
So the Twins will hire Brent Strome in some capacity before, I guess, they next play, because I don't know that they're going to.
Judd ZulgadHOST
This is the weird thing.
Judd ZulgadHOST
I don't know you're going to make a lot of hires and start to pay people before the lockout ends.
