Astros Blow Sweep, Outfielder Trade Scenarios, Dan Hurley Turns Down Lakers

The Matt Thomas Show

Matt Thomas and Ross Villarreal of The Matt Thomas Show discuss the Houston Astros winning two out of a three-game road series against the Los Angeles Angels, missing out on a sweep opportunity with a 9-7 loss on Sunday. Ryan Pressly took the mound in the eighth inning and allowed a pair of runs that tied the game at seven. Josh Hader finished off the eighth but gave up a walk-off home run in the ninth. The injuries continue to mount for the Astros after third baseman Alex Bregman was hit by a pitch in his left hand, which led him to exit the game, and left fielder Kyle Tucker was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shin contusion. With most of the concern centered around injured starting pitching, could the Astros look to make a trade before the deadline, and will the abundance of outfielders on the roster serve as the main compensation? Dan Hurley turned down a six-year, $70 million offer from the Los Angeles Lakers to remain the head coach at UConn. The deal would have made Hurley one of the NBA's six highest-paid coaches. Matt and Ross discuss rumors concerning Trevor Bauer returning to MLB, react to Caitlin Clark not making the U.S. women's basketball team for the upcoming Olympics, review the Dallas Mavericks dropping two games in the NBA Finals, play "To Tell the Truth" and more.
