Tim NymanHOST
Instrumental with signing some pretty good players.
Tim NymanHOST
Chris Beck, Gordon Beckham, Ryan Lowell, Justin Green.
Tim NymanHOST
[laughs] Pretty good, pretty good, uh, talent right there.
Tim NymanHOST
So I, I am so happy to have you, my friend.
Curtis AllenHOST
I'm just saying he K'd.
Curtis AllenHOST
But I'm watching, and it was like, you know, there's something about his tenure that it kind of reminds me of, like, a Gordon Beckham with the White Sox 15 years ago.
Curtis AllenHOST
There were all these expectations, and you would see flashes of it, and it's like year in and year out, Hap's on the roster.
Curtis AllenHOST
But how would you surmise that? I mean, we're talking about 10 years now that he's been with the Cubs.
Josh ReddickGUEST
And then look what happened.
Josh ReddickGUEST
This is the Gordon Beckham era.
Josh ReddickGUEST
And Gordon Beckham was the guy in college baseball.
Josh ReddickGUEST
So I had the coach there.
Josh ReddickGUEST
I won't even name him to save him face.
David KaplanHOST
That pitch was so far out of the strike zone up, I don't know how he hit it.
David KaplanHOST
That was a pitch, I think Gordon Beckham on the broadcast said, maybe it was DJ, said three or four baseballs high out of the strike zone.
David KaplanHOST
And somehow he chopped it out.
David KaplanHOST
But the other four runs, come on, man.
Ed SiebertHOST
You've seen guys that have no business being good being pretty good.
Ed SiebertHOST
So I can't believe that they mis-evaluated or they didn't scout him properly or didn't have an idea about I do have, however, Gordon Beckham pointing out that in the innings where Luis Castillo worked well, he was working off of his fastball, meaning he was throwing high fastballs.
Ed SiebertHOST
He was working the top of the zone like Luis Castillo of old did, although he had more velocity back then.
Ed SiebertHOST
And in the inning where he got lit up, and in a lot of the starts I imagine where he's gotten lit up, he's relying more on the off-speed stuff first and foremost.
Chris LanutiHOST
You wonder whether or not they did have a plan.
Chris LanutiHOST
And if the player is not listening...
Chris LanutiHOST
When I hear an announcer for the team on their broadcast, even if it is Gordon Beckham, if I hear somebody during the broadcast pointing out something that's glaringly obvious as the Achilles heel of this pitcher and saying when he doesn't do those things, he's effective and better, You wonder if they're already trying to plant the seed of, hey, we didn't make this mistake.
Chris LanutiHOST
We got a guy here isn't listening to us.
Herb LawrenceHOST
I'm thinking that run is cashed in.
Herb LawrenceHOST
And Gordon Beckham was surprised that the Astros infield was drawn in.
Herb LawrenceHOST
I'm like, it's a 0-0 game.
Herb LawrenceHOST
Gordon, you played this game before, brother? What do you think? You're going to concede the run and get the double play there? No, come on, man.
15 MINS LATER
Sean AndersonHOST
Yeah, I mean, they just would do dumb stuff.
Sean AndersonHOST
This was more frustrating than dumb.
Sean AndersonHOST
This wasn't like, you know, Gordon Beckham tripping over the mound and then tackling his teammate, trying to catch a fly ball against the Mets.
Sean AndersonHOST
Yeah, I don't mean to bring up trauma.
Todd WelterHOST
Why is hitting sacrifice flies so hard for this club? Just go back and watch the replay.
Todd WelterHOST
Gordon Beckham on the CHSN broadcast broke it down perfectly.
Todd WelterHOST
Just too many hesitations.
Todd WelterHOST
Not smart baseball.
Josh NelsonHOST
And my mind doesn't grow.
Josh NelsonHOST
I don't think I can get enough wax to do the Raleigh fingers where you twist on the sides but like colson montgomery is clearly trying and i like that gordon beckham during the broadcast is like french noir and he totally does he looks like the detective from pink panther with the way that he's growing his mustache
Jim MargalusHOST
so yeah
Josh NelsonHOST
so i'm curious to see on what the final product is uh for colson montgomery but instead of playoff beards it's a mustaches
Dan BernsteinHOST
It is the weirdest damn accent.
Dan BernsteinHOST
It's like if you combine Elon Musk and Gordon Beckham, that's what it would sound like.
Dan BernsteinHOST
It's just, it's, it's so different.
Dan BernsteinHOST
I don't think I've ever heard, you know, he got here from, I don't know if he's from Pretoria or Johannesburg or wherever he's from, but, and all of a sudden he sounds like a baseball player.
Dan BernsteinHOST
Cause that came, probably came from Georgia tech.
Dan BernsteinHOST
And then he kind of sounds like a, like, like Gordon Beckham.
Dan BernsteinHOST
He kind of sounds like a, like a Southern like frat boy.
Dan BernsteinHOST
And then you'll hear him all of a sudden, you'll get a little bit of Gary player in there.
