Matt Thomas

So he had to know this was coming.

So my philosophy has been on my radio show, and again, I want to be empathetic to the spot, but it is also if he doesn't like it here and he doesn't perform well, he's got options the next two years.

He needs to take his option out and go back and play in Japan.

I don't think that's going to be the case because that would be a terrible precedent for guys to do that.

So hopefully he fixes himself, rest his arm, get back on the mound, because the reality is this, guys, the Astros tonight against St.

Louis will start their 10th starting pitcher already, and this is what, game 21 of the season.

He keeps texting me for money, and I said, look, I've got to take care of my kids at this point.

But as soon as I can get all three out of the house, which I'm two out of the three are done, I'll be starting to write checks.

You know, they got a good kid out of LSU, the point guard transfer.

The Cougars have money.

It's just one of those things you don't say, hey, coach, how are things and how much cash do you have?

So I think every coach is going through that.

I think every coach is asking for money.

I don't know if you remember during the tournament, Mick Cronin at UCLA was asked about how do you improve your program?

And he bluntly said, I need five more million dollars.

I think every coach.

high-end coach maybe even bill self might do it at kansas you never know they're gonna say i just need cash you give these coaches cash they'll figure out a way and these players will figure out a way to come here yeah all right we'll see what happens matt thomas always great stuff buddy we really appreciate it have yourself a great weekend paul anytime talk to you soon it's a fact it's the greatest city in the history of mankind discovered by the germans in 1904
