ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We hit the All-Star break with the Astros three games back, a loud reminder that the record is ugly but the race is still right there. We lay out what has to change fast: steadier pitching, smarter deadline moves, and a few key bats rising together behind an MVP-level Jordan Alvarez.
• Rangers series recap and why the timing of the break matters
• lack of first-half consistency and how injuries shape the roster
• offense strengths in MLB ranks and why it can still improve
• need for a true starting ace plus a left-handed outfield bat
• rotation outlook with arms returning and who has carried innings
• Jordan Alvarez as the engine and how teams may pitch around him
• Jose Altuve’s second-half importance and the “one more run” plea
• Bryce Matthews and Cam Smith development plus outfield adjustments
• bullpen concerns and why pitching wins in October
• pressure on Dana Brown and Joe Espada tied to deadline decisions
• community message calling for justice for Lorenzo Salgado Arrayo
I'm going to be back here next Monday. We'll have another Astros wrap.

TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:03.200
Welcome to the ice case.
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:04.719
Cold facts like the ice tape.
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:07.040
Iceman with the blitz about the open up a cold case.
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:08.480
Talk about it with a cold drink.
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:10.320
Ice man in the building topic.
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.399
Let's break them back in the ice creating going home with the ice man.
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.960
This is the YouTube Ice Drill Iceman.
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:21.920
Special edition.
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:27.760
We just finished up a weekend series with the Texas Rangers.
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:29.839
Our rivals.
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.399
A team that we don't like too much.
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:34.799
We didn't do so well.
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.200
We lost two out of three.
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:43.119
The Astros are now three games back of the Rangers for first place.
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.560
With a record of 47 and 51.
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.240
So the all-star break comes at a time, I think, when the Astros need a break.
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.960
And hopefully there's some things that happen in the second half that make this team more competitive.
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:09.439
Because we cannot continue to keep winning two games here, one game here, then win maybe two games here, then lose a few more.
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.200
This team needs more consistency.
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:16.959
The first half, we haven't had that at all.
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:22.239
We haven't had that 10-game winning streak run, that 11-game winning streak run.
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:25.280
We made some progress.
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.319
Lots of baseball left.
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.079
They played 98 games.
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:45.359
We've had four players that's played in 90 plus of those games.
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:51.680
That's uh Christian Walker, Jordan Alvarez, Isaac Perettis, and Cam Smith.
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.480
Other than that, there's been some injuries.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.000
Still hasn't been himself just yet.
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.000
Jeremy Penny has had a few stints on the IR.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:12.560
We have two young guys in Bryce Matthews and Cam Smith still trying to feel their way through this team.
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:19.919
Cam Smith is showing signs of uh getting his hitting back on track.
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.199
Hitting with a little power, a little pop.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:38.479
But this all-star break is a time to for Dana Brown and Joe Espada to look at this team and and see what we can do to better this team.
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.400
The August 3rd trade line is approaching.
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:50.080
Astrol's offense is been, I mean, I can't complain about the offense this year.
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:58.400
I mean, if you look at the Astros offense this year, as of today, they are number three in the major leagues in home runs.
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.960
With 133 home runs.
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.919
They're number 13 in hits.
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.360
This is as a Houston Astrills offense.
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.919
So 13, uh number 13 in hits in the major leagues.
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:19.759
They're number 12 in RBIs, number 17 in batting average, which is middle of the pack.
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.159
And they're number 11 in runs scored.
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:26.639
So the offense is there.
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.360
The good thing is this offense could get better.
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.120
It's the pitching.
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.800
I've talked about it on the last few episodes.
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:47.360
I think it's important that we, before the all-star break, add a starting ace pitcher to this team.
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.120
I've always considered Hunter Brown over the last few years as our ace.
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.360
But he showed a few cracks in the armor these last few outings.
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:14.800
So if we're going to make a serious run, I think the front office Dana Brown and them need to really go out and look for a starting pitcher, along with a left-handed bat, preferably in the outfield.
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.439
This is what needs to happen if the Astros are going to make one more big run.
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.639
Like I said, we've been spoiled over the last nine to ten years of a team that's been a dynasty.
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.519
Won a few World Series.
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:32.639
Been in more than a few.
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.120
Instant playoff team when the season starts.
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.680
This season in 2026 is a little bit different.
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:46.319
Now, granted, there's been a lot of injuries and lots of it has been pitching.
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.639
But in this second half, the troops are coming back.
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.120
We got uh Ronel Blanco coming back.
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.199
McCullers is on his way back.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.040
We just got Javiera back.
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:57.920
Pitch four in.
00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:59.600
It's looking pretty decent today.
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:04.639
I'm sure he'll build that arm strength and that endurance up, and we'll get some good pitching out of him.
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:12.079
Lambert is just Lambert has been Peter Lambert has been our ace.
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.480
The guy leads the teams in wins with eight wins.
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.480
Quality starts, leads the teams in strikeouts.
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.800
So Peter Lambert has really gave us a lot.
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.399
Aaron Getty, man, he had a hell of a May.
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.519
He struggled in June.
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.000
He's struggling here in July.
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:44.000
Hopefully this break helps him a little bit, helps these arms rest a little bit, get their heads straight.
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.759
Like I said, lots of baseball still left.
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:57.519
The offense is overachieved with what they've been dealt in the lineup so far this season.
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:08.560
But a big part of it is you have, to my, in my opinion, the MVP of the Major League of Major League Baseball, Jordan Alvarez.
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.319
He's batting 318.
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:15.279
The dude has 31 home runs, 70 RBIs.
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.399
His home base percentage is like 426.
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.600
Has over 111 hits.
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:24.399
MVP.
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:25.920
Guy's a monster.
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:33.680
I expect Alvarez to keep building on this as the second half of the season starts.
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.680
We need Christian Walker to come along, which he's been decent.
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:41.839
Needs to get the average up a little bit.
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.360
He's hitting with some pop in his bat.
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.319
He has 20 home runs himself, 58 RBIs.
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.160
Isaac Perettis.
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.920
He's filled in at third base now that we lost Correa for the year.
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.399
He's raised his average a lot up to 254.
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.399
He was down close to 200 at one time, just about a month and a half ago.
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.680
So we're going to need him to come to the party.
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.319
Cam Smith has shown signs of coming to the party.
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.000
Speaking of parties.
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.319
Hopefully this all-star break helps him too.
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.959
But my biggest key factor is going to be Jose Altube.
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.000
He's played in 74 games this season.
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.079
He's batting 235.
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.519
Has 11 home runs.
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.879
It's not the Altube we've seen in the past.
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.480
Each year he is getting older.
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.360
But we need one more run from you, Jose.
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.759
Give us one more run, is all we're asking for.
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:12.319
You can do this.
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:21.040
Hopefully this week, one week of rest will help him also during this all-star break.
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:27.120
I like Brass Bryce Matthews out in center.
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:32.480
He got banged up a little bit in this series actually on Sunday.
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:36.000
Crashed into the wall, so they had to take him out of the game.
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.279
So it's it's his defense is not the problem.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.600
He's awesome out there in the outfield.
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.080
And we forget he's he's a superb second baseman.
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.080
He's the heir apparent to Jose Altube.
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:59.039
I still think Bryce Matthews will be our future second baseman for many years.
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:06.000
But to be on this team, he he's had to switch to the outfield and he's played it amazingly.
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:07.440
Same thing with Cam Smith.
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:09.679
Cam Smith came over as a third baseman.
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.799
But to keep him on this roster, he had to adjust to the outfield.
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:24.399
So we got two guys who are predominantly infielders, very above average infielders, playing outfield.
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:32.559
Actually, after Matthews got hurt in the Rangers game today, they moved Cam Smith to center field.
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:38.080
That was interesting because he's been playing an awesome right field this season.
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.279
But to see him in center made me like, hmm.
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:44.000
Could this be a second half move?
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:47.120
I still like him in right.
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:48.559
He has a very strong arm.
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.840
But it wouldn't hurt to have his range out there in center field.
00:09:54.080 --> 00:10:03.600
This is if Bryce Matthews just doesn't get his hitting going because we can't keep a guy batting 197 in the second half on the roster.
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.679
We've gotten Jeremy Pinha back this weekend.
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.639
Out of the 98 games, he's played in 51 of the games.
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:21.120
So we're going to need more endurance and staying off the injury list.
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.360
Jeremy, can you do that for us?
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:25.679
We're going to need you.
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.440
I mean, the dude's batting 287.
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.320
He's he's a key to our he's a key to our offense.
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:34.960
He's our leadoff.
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:36.000
He's our new leadoff hitter.
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.679
He's our new Jose Altube.
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.639
So hopefully this second half, Jeremy Pinha gets it going.
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:49.600
I think Christian Vasquez has been doing a great job behind the plate.
00:10:51.919 --> 00:11:01.200
Diaz has showed signs of since he's back, been behind the plate since his injury, has hit the ball much better than he did before he was injured.
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.840
Then it's a bunch of young guys on this offense.
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:17.360
So I do think the Astros, if they are going to compete, which I think they will, like I said last episode, I have not given up on these Houston Astros.
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:20.000
They're only three games out of first place.
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:27.120
They had a big opportunity this past week to really, really make some noise.
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.039
Didn't pan out.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.240
But we're still in a very good spot.
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.720
But pitching is going to be the key to this team.
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.879
Pitching wins you championships.
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.360
You can dominate with pitching in the playoffs.
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.559
You don't have to have five excellent starters when you're in a playoff series.
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.480
Need three good ones.
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.200
The middle relief got to get better.
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:04.000
I was feeling good about the end of our game with our pitching with King and Hayter out there.
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:09.200
But these last few games, they got beat up a little bit.
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.879
Haders feel the first time for the first time today that you can hit against him.
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.960
Because he has been lights out since he's been back off the injury list.
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:21.759
But you're going to have one of those games.
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.240
It wasn't a save opportunity today.
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.080
He was in the game to try to protect a tie that we were in.
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:31.279
It didn't happen.
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:32.799
Time to move on.
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:40.960
Like I said, this is a second half of a season that I think is very important to Dana Brown and Joe Espada.
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.440
I think this will determine their future with this team.
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:54.960
Because of the injuries or because of the talent of the talent have we have lost over the last few years?
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:59.360
With losing Tucker and Bregman and guys moving on.
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:08.639
Or even just a couple of years ago.
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:15.600
But as I look at Tucker and Bregman out there, they're struggling too.
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:17.600
On their teams.
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.200
So it does take a team to win.
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.840
And I think the Astros have some key components.
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:34.879
And when you have a reigning MVP on your team like Alvarez, which I'm saying now, he's going to win the Major League Baseball MVP.
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:36.960
He's the best in the biz.
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:51.279
He's almost at that Barry Bonds area where when Barry Bonds was all jacked up on them Royds, just blasting home runs left and right.
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:59.360
At a certain point, even with guys on base, they were intentionally walking him.
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.519
I think this second half you're going to see a lot of free passes to Alvarez.
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:10.000
Even with runners in scoring position.
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:17.519
If there's a base open, they're going to pitch to him, but they're not going to pitch to him.
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:19.360
If you know what I mean.
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:25.679
So as long as we have Alvarez healthy in the second half.
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.879
And Walker can be the Walker of a few years ago.
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.320
And he showed signs that he he's he's got that pop.
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.080
Needs a he'll he his average needs to come up.
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:44.399
Perettis.
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.120
He's showing signs.
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.799
Cam Smith is showing signs.
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.360
Pinja's healthy again.
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.080
It's gonna take a team.
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:57.519
Jose Altubi.
00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:59.039
Like I can't stress that enough.
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:00.799
He is gonna be a key component.
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:03.919
If he goes, we go.
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.399
To me, he is still the leader of this team.
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.000
I mean, we just need a very hot start in the second half.
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:24.720
I mean, hell, we since May 21st, the Astrals have been 26 and 19.
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:32.480
And this is with the starting rotation over that same period.
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.799
Trotting out a 5.29 ERA.
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:37.840
Ouch.
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.600
This trade deadline is August 3rd.
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.320
We come back on the 17th.
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.399
It's gonna be key that we get off to a hot start.
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.399
It'd be nice to run off three, four, five, six wins in a row.
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.039
That could change us where we're at in the stand-ins.
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:13.039
But I'm I'm in I'm interested to see what they do before August 3rd.
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:16.080
Because I'm hearing that we're buyers, not sellers.
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:21.279
And what that means is the Astros are in to make a run.
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:28.720
We're not at that point to where we start dismantling this team, you know, just trading players away, just get prospects.
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:31.840
We're not there just yet.
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.200
This team got one more run in them.
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:46.240
And with the right moves, with the young players that we have and the core that we have, we can continue these playoff runs.
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:50.080
It's gonna take a team.
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:52.639
Pitching is part of it.
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.679
I think we're gonna find us a starter for this trade deadline.
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:01.279
Mark my words.
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:08.079
It seems for the last few years we've been looking for that left-handed bat out in the outfield with some pop.
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:13.119
I see that happening before the trade deadline.
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.599
I mean, like I said, it's Dana Brown.
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:17.519
He's our general manager.
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:23.119
Just determines if you're coming back next season.
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.279
Fair or not fair?
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:33.759
I'm in.
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:35.920
Are you in out there?
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:38.400
I'm still excited.
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:39.200
Three games back.
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.039
Three games is nothing, guys.
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:46.880
Still like 75, 78 games still left.
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:52.640
We just gotta make a run.
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.480
And it is important that we start that run in the second half.
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.640
More consistent baseball.
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:00.720
We need more consistent baseball.
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.359
So I asked the players.
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.000
I asked Joe Espada.
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:12.000
I asked Dana Brown.
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.799
I asked that you refocus.
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.519
Players get your rest.
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:21.839
Dana, do your homework.
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.160
Espada, you could be better.
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.759
It's your job to make this team better.
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:34.880
I still believe in you.
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:36.640
I have I haven't jumped ship.
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.079
But talk to me in about talk to me in about two weeks, people.
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.279
Talk to me about two weeks.
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:44.319
We'll see.
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:48.480
I did like what Wade Jr.
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.440
did uh with the Grand Slam on Saturday.
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:54.960
He's interesting.
00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:58.799
There's some more young players.
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:06.000
There's not a lot of help out on the farm, so if the team's going to do better, it's what we have right now.
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.920
Jake Myers could be coming back up from the minors.
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:11.200
He needs a little time down there.
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.039
We he showed that he can produce at the major league level.
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:16.720
So hopefully he gets his head straight.
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:22.240
And after the all-star break, you know, he can be a key contributor to this team.
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:26.799
Let's take a week off, guys.
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:31.759
Let's take a week off and enjoy the all-star game, the home run derby.
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.200
Let's get our mind our minds right as fans.
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:41.759
We're Clutch City.
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:44.400
We're the H Town.
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.400
We are the Houston Astros.
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.000
So get your get your rest in.
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.559
I'm going to be back here next Monday.
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:58.079
We'll have another Astros wrap.
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:06.079
Now, before I do get out of here, I I do recite here in the Houston area, as most of you do who listen to the show.
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:24.799
So something here in the community happened this past few days where I feel it was a senseless killing of a Mexican national, Lorenzo Salgado Arrayo.
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:28.240
May he rest in peace.
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:35.359
He was shot and killed a few days ago.
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.200
We need justice.
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.240
We need a thorough investigation.
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:49.279
This guy has been working here in the US for thirty-five years.
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:52.559
He's put two sons through college.
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:55.759
One is a teacher.
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:58.160
He has another one in high school.
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.200
He did his job with his sons.
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:08.720
The man was going to work that morning with his crew.
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:16.559
They were pulled over because of mistaken identity that he looked like somebody they were.
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:18.240
He was not the target.
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:21.599
He looked like somebody they were looking for.
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:34.400
So what ISIS has become, and this is something I do not agree with, racially profiling these people.
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:41.440
Chasing them in unmarked cars with mask on.
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.119
It's scary times.
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.519
That's about as far as I'll get into it.
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:54.559
I am from the Mexican heritage.
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:56.640
I am half Mexican and half white.
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.480
My mother was a proud Latino.
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:05.279
And I carry that proud Latino in me too, also.
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:08.559
We're better, America.
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:10.480
We're better, Houston.
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:14.319
Rest in peace, Lorenzo.
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:16.400
Talk to you guys next week.
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:17.519
This is Ice.
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:21.680
And this has been the Houston Astros in the Cave.
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:24.799
You enjoy your weekend.
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.960
I'll talk to you real soon.
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:28.160
Welcome to the Ice Case.
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:33.759
Talk about it over cold drinks.
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:36.000
Ice man in the building in the top of we can talk about it.
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:38.400
How you feel what you talk about it?
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:39.839
When it's blue, number out of the pocket.
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:50.799
I get it active.
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:52.240
You know I get it active.
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:54.640
With a patch.
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:56.079
Ice in the catch.
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:58.319
Everything to move this in the past.
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:00.000
Ice with the air one.
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:02.240
I call it the fellows in the mouse in the case.
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.000
Ice in the case on everything like the ice in the case.
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:07.519
Ice in the case.
