The Astros take the lead on extra 8 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:34.479 basis for cam Smith. 9 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:39.759 He's racing for third long throw in. Say a triple 10 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:40.840 for cam Smith. 11 00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.920 The two brown ball right at payin you goes the 12 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.079 second for one Rogers the first double play just what 13 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.079 the doctor ordered for the Astros, and we go to 14 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.159 the twelfth Astros one Mariners won. 15 00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.479 Here comes the one to Carteni. 16 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.719 Here's the pitch curveball and that's through the left side. 17 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:05.439 Going with it, Carrotini. 18 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.840 Another curveball and he steered it through the left side 19 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.040 of the infield and the Astros take the lead two 20 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:11.439 to one. 21 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:17.000 Carrotini with the magic one. There. Here's the two to 22 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:22.359 two Okert fastball, got eam strike three and the Astros 23 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:22.760 win it. 24 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.599 Ocher comes in and slams the door and the Astros 25 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.959 win the second game of this series RBI single by Carrotini. 26 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:37.560 Cam Smith with his first RBI this season. Ryan Gusto 27 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.799 gets his first win as a major leaguer and the 28 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.719 Astros get to go home happy tonight. Twelve innings and 29 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.439 they win this game two to one. 30 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.680 Yeah, while you were asleep, the Astros finding a way 31 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.439 to get it done in twelve innings last night, beating 32 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.439 the Mariners two to one, and Cam Smith first RBI 33 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.239 of his career, a triple to the left hustle and triple. 34 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:02.400 Man, I love to see that. 35 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.599 You also love to see You would hope to not 36 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.280 get to the eleventh inning, but young Ryan Gusto where 37 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.479 zero margin for error. Guy gets over to third base 38 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.360 and the infield is in, runners on the corners and 39 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.520 a ball right to Jeremy Panion. Instead of trying to 40 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.960 get Julio Rodriguez at the plate, he says, hey, let's 41 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.919 get two here, and they get two. Then Victor Carrottini, 42 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.800 the hero with the bats in the twelfth and oh hey, 43 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.080 what a novel concept. Steven Okert in the twelfth inning 44 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.199 works a scoreless frame, getting a couple of strikeouts in 45 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:33.639 the ball game. 46 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.199 Yeah it was good man. It was a late night obviously, 47 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.159 get to a certain point we going and wake up 48 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.680 early and watch what you didn't get to see. But Carotene, 49 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.639 he's been clutch since he's been here. They Fromber looked 50 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.039 like Fromber again. You know, you keep the ball in 51 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.240 the ballpark, you give what six strong innings and strikeout eight? 52 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.719 He was really good anytime that you can get to 53 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.199 in that ball. A lot of different bodies used last 54 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.280 night and hater what two more innings. That's back to 55 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.599 back times. He's gone at least two of the last 56 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.039 three or four days where he's gone two innings where 57 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:07.919 he's had to give you a couple of them and 58 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.560 then to be resilient enough on the road to take 59 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.240 care of their business and get the clutch hit and 60 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.759 double plays a pitcher's best friend. So it was nice 61 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.439 and bullpen did their job and here we are and 62 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.360 you don't want to overwork them. But from Or got 63 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.039 you six, and it's here worship when a guy gets 64 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.000 you six in Major league baseball, So good on him. 65 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.439 He looked again like a guy who should be at 66 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:29.199 the front of the rotation. 67 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.759 And that's you know, getting back to Gusto too. Although 68 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.319 I mean I heard Joe Spotto calmed Gusto. I hear 69 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.199 the TV guys and radio guys call him Gusto. But anyway, 70 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.759 it's besides the point. I mean, like I said, I mean, 71 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.120 you've got zero margin for er. Right there, a little 72 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:47.199 bleeder gets through. Mariners win that ballgame. First pitch of 73 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.479 the eleventh inning from Ryan Gusto, right down the middle, 74 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.439 just going right at the hitter, just saying, hey, you 75 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.280 know what, if I'm gonna get beat, I'm gonna get 76 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.439 beat by you beating me. I'm not going to beat 77 00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.800 myself here and try to nibble on corners and do 78 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.800 all these things. That's a guy sean that the moment's 79 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:04.960 not too big for him. He's ready to go. And 80 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.719 I mean the other day, I understand, you know it 81 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.159 was a game that was completely away from you, but 82 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.000 he gives you three very quality innings out of the bullpen. 83 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.000 I mean, it seems like he's a guy that the 84 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.519 phone rings, he goes out there, he gets the job done. 85 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.319 And uh oh, by the way, this seventh inning last night, 86 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.680 if Joe A. Spotta could have a do over. Let 87 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.519 me tell you who I'm putting in there for quote 88 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.079 unquote right handed on right handed matchups. 89 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.519 Right now, I'm putting Ryan Gusto in Yeah, he's pretty 90 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.800 impressive man and a guy. It's one thing we talk 91 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.360 about and comes highly regarded and all that. But it's 92 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.199 performance under pressure. I love it. And it appears that 93 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:41.800 the guy could close you out at the end as 94 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.199 we know it, I mean, meaning to be able to 95 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:47.879 He got the win last night. I think right, he 96 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:53.439 got to win to give you a a solid performance again. 97 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.120 But the versatility of him, Hell, where can't you put 98 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.560 him in? Watch him where? I mean it, he's not 99 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.240 locked in and we're trying to figure out in seventh 100 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.360 any who's that guy going to be on a regular basis? 101 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.879 And you know who eight and nine are and well 102 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.120 yesterday it was eight, nine, ten, eleven. Got to get 103 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.360 to twelve and take care of it. So, but Gusto 104 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.360 gets a win, it won't be his last one. But 105 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.920 whether it's Bullpen or some time when he's you know, 106 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.839 a guy in your starting rotation whenever that is the 107 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.360 bottom line is that he doesn't care about the role 108 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.360 and he's taking care of his business. And all the 109 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.040 way from spring to now, every single time his name 110 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.959 has come up, there's never been yeah but behind it. 111 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:34.879 And so when it comes from the experts it comes, 112 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.639 but talk talk talk about the performance. Okay, spring training. 113 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.519 Everybody wants to know the guy comes right in here 114 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.720 and is doing his thing. So I would imagine for 115 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.000 Joe a spot of the versatility of him and the 116 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.560 ability to doesn't matter, go do it and then perform it. 117 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.079 It's hard to find a lot of times early in 118 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.399 the season for some, but he is. He is performing 119 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.759 at a time when they're going to need him all 120 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.000 year long. Considering and you know, as you do well, 121 00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:59.839 you may be here and it may be somewhere in 122 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.439 the seventh and maybe starting it, maybe winning a game 123 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.920 later on in a game, and you know, you didn't 124 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:06.800 know when your performance was gonna come or when your 125 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.360 opportunity was gonna come again. But the guy has just 126 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.360 been spectacular at least early in the season and came 127 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:13.680 that way regard as spring training. 128 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.519 Here we are keyboard Warriors. Were after Joe Spotta last 129 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.959 night too. Seventh inning, you give up the lead after 130 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.720 you just took the lead on the camp Smith RBI triple, 131 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.199 and Joe Spotta decides in the seventh inning that's Taylor 132 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.079 Scott time. And I'm again watching it on TV before 133 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.519 nodding off and going to sleep, and Jeff Blum mentions, oh, 134 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.920 this might be a chance to get Taylor Scott's confidence up. Sean, 135 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:36.560 I'm in a one run game. I don't need to 136 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.240 get a guy's confidence up. I need to win a 137 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.720 ball game. Let him work it out when you're up 138 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.800 five to you know, five to two against somebody at 139 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:44.399 that spot. 140 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.480 But maybe they feel a little different about him than you. 141 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.920 Maybe they feel like he's doing his thing, that he's 142 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.360 it's not a mechanical effect or. And we've seen this 143 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.560 happen here in the past. We see it with Joe Spot, 144 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.439 I saw with Dusty Baker. They latch onto somebody they 145 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.519 believe in and they're gonna let him play it on 146 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.439 the field. And now that's a novel concept. Every time 147 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.040 a guy, I mean, we are, you know, a dozen 148 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.319 games or whatever it is into the season and we're 149 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.399 already looking for a seventh inning guy. After the performance 150 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.439 he gave last year was pretty impressive. So I understand 151 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.480 what have you done for me lately? League, But I 152 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:21.360 do so I know this from a distance. We have 153 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.199 a different opinion on certain things. But once again, when 154 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.480 guys are there every day, like Joe A spotts, seeing, listening, hearing, 155 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.720 watching bullpen sessions, watching mechanics on the mount, and listening 156 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.439 to Dow he reacts when he comes in the deck out, 157 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.560 all those things that go on with with a manager understanding, 158 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.040 I would think they got a pretty good idea of 159 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.279 we still like this guy, this is not who he is, 160 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.600 or the struggles he'll pitch through him, that they trust 161 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.519 him to do it. I just don't think you can 162 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.600 crap can anybody who struggles early. We don't do it 163 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.439 to a hitter, and why would we do it to 164 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.639 a pitcher, especially somebody that they obviously believe in it 165 00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.560 at times? Last year bail jass out and was outstanding. 166 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.079 So I get it, and I understand the search, But 167 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.240 when better to build? You an't build anybody's confidence putting 168 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:07.439 him in a five to one game and he gets 169 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.199 two out so groundball, strike out in another out, that's 170 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.040 not confidence because that's supposed to happen. I kind of 171 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.279 do agree that let's throw him in there and see, 172 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.160 because if we can't find out who he is to 173 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.680 us now, how we gonna know later when it really 174 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.879 even matters, we can overcome Game twelve or whatever it 175 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.279 is In the beginning of the season, can't overcome the 176 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.319 last twelve when he's going through a losing streak at three. 177 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:31.680 There is a method to the madness about getting somebody 178 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:34.200 back into and we've seen it with relievers that shifts 179 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.600 on a dime. Those guys one day, I mean, they're 180 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.879 the reliever's mind is like my OCD. It's like one 181 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.279 day that. I mean, they're trying to lock in every 182 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.440 day and one bat or two bad or before he 183 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.480 could be a good pitch guy hits the line drive 184 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.639 away on an out on of pitch that's outside the 185 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:52.679 strike zone, and we come with he blew the save. 186 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.399 And a guy went and chased a pitch and smoked 187 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.279 it the right field and put the bat on it 188 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.480 and drives in a run and beats a pitcher. I mean, 189 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.600 it happens. And so I think we're way too early 190 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.799 to stop the Scott train and have him get off. 191 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:10.519 But I understand the reality of well, you put him 192 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.120 in a game like that, but if you the confidence 193 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.120 in the game, that's the point that I'm making. He's 194 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.960 telling you why he put him in Bloom when Blood 195 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.159 was a blum who said it. He's telling him why Obviously, 196 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.840 why he believes this is because the confidence and the 197 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.639 timing he put him in is literally too there's a 198 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.000 collateral damage, either good or bad. There's an effect that 199 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.679 pushes forward for Scott in this because if he goes 200 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.519 and does his thing and it's like okay, under duress 201 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.840 in a high leverage situation needed him and he pulled through. 202 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.679 And truth is, if they put a quarterback in a 203 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.840 game when you're up four touchdowns in the fourth quarter 204 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.440 and you throw a touchdown pass and you win by 205 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.840 five touchdowns, I don't think my confidence has risen because 206 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.879 the game was done. But in these situations, when it's 207 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.200 high leverage, that's how you gain it because then you 208 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.039 go back to trusting yourself. So I think there's a 209 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.879 method to the madness. Hopefully we won't be having this 210 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:08.639 conversation in June, but if we are, then by that 211 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:10.720 time somebody else will be in that role. But I 212 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.000 do get early on and fiercely loyal. Has been a 213 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.759 spot of Dusty Baker was the same way, and then 214 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.480 there are certain guys when they don't like him. I 215 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.000 think it was Dusty wasn't a big standic fan, right, 216 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:24.559 I mean, I think he's Yeah, I'm talking about at 217 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.720 least the way it appeared by appearances in certain situations. Right, 218 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.399 that's what people's perception, whether it's true or not. It doesn't. 219 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.559 And you know, Dusty had guys he did love, right, 220 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.799 saying we all do and that you trust or that 221 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.679 you believe are going to pay dividends for you if 222 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.720 you show them early. On the psychology of it and 223 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:45.279 the psychological part of it. I think Joe A. Spot 224 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.720 probably understands what his player needs a little more than 225 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.399 we do from a distance. But I do get the frustration. 226 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:56.360 But it's called frustration and relief pictures. It's redundant. You're 227 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.840 always going to be frustrated or uptight about him because 228 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.000 it's part of the job. And I think that's it. 229 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.960 I think we're too early to, uh say, Scott's a 230 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.279 guy in the fifth inning and we got to maybe 231 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.559 move him around. I think we're way too early for that. 232 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.879 Well, it's not I'm not talking about it from being 233 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.240 a permanent status, but I mean, you know, we're talking 234 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:18.000 about building up guy's confidence, all right, what about Steven Oker? 235 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.919 What about Ryan Gusto? Guys who you have put into 236 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.879 situations and sometimes tough situations. They've done nothing but perform 237 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.440 for you. Why why aren't those guys getting there? Well, 238 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.360 let me ask you it is you just said build confidence. 239 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.840 If those two guys are pitching where they are and confident, 240 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.039 does he need to put his arm around him and 241 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.440 keep it up? I mean they're probate. You don't need 242 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:40.600 to uh have validation and you know from from others 243 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.559 all the time. They're doing their job. And right now, 244 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.000 so who are you more worried about right now? You 245 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.399 just said it with your thing? Who do you trust more? 246 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.039 The other two guys are Scott right now? 247 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:49.240 Oh? 248 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.200 I trust the other two guys. Okay, so their confidence 249 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.159 is rolling pretty good right now. So what does it make. 250 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.759 I'll reward him when the time comes. But they're still 251 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.600 doing their thing. Gusto did his thing with the win 252 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.000 last night. Those guys are doing their thing in the 253 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.200 role they're in now. At some point they usually define themselves, 254 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:06.279 and the way you define a role is by performance. 255 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.799 If cam Smith hits won forty five this year, by 256 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.120 the All Star break, he'll be playing right field or 257 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:14.960 third base in the minor leagues. You see the energy 258 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.759 last night and why they put him in and I'd 259 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.840 like to see him play every day. Boom turns a 260 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.600 double into a triple just by flat out hustling taking 261 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.000 care of his business. So it's the same thing here, 262 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.679 you answer, why aren't they? We don't need to reward it. 263 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:32.799 This isn't Junior high an American society and people the 264 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.720 suburbs of Let's reward a guy because he did his 265 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.240 job one day or two days, or it's twelve games in. 266 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:40.480 Just as quick as I ain't putting Ryan Gusto in 267 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.320 the Hall of Fame, I'm not sending Scott to the 268 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.720 minor leagues and saying you're no good. I think the 269 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:49.519 confidence factor is important. So to answer your question as 270 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.600 to why, well, what good would it be if you've 271 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.399 got a guy who's confident? Just keep giving him. The 272 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.480 one guy who obviously appears from a vantage point that 273 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.440 need that confidence to get back going to see who 274 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.240 you are? Is Scott right now? And so why wouldn't 275 00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:06.360 you put him in those situations? I got an news 276 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.720 for if he blows five leverage situations in a row, 277 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.480 he won't be pitching in that situation. The performance is 278 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.399 going to dictate it, not us, you know, standing from here, 279 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:16.799 in a radio show or Twitter telling us I get 280 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.759 him out because he's had some struggles. And I do 281 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.960 believe there's a method of the madness. And I also believe, 282 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.559 having been coached and coached both, there comes a point 283 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.399 in time when things are going good, kick a guy 284 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.039 in the ass. When things are going bad, put your 285 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.080 arm around him, and maybe the guy needs one performance. 286 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.720 But why do we want why do we let players 287 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.799 get players get away with oh it's early, but pitchers, 288 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.320 we don't want to let him get away with oh 289 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.759 it's early. I think it's way too early to pull 290 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.399 the plug on him. He did too much for this 291 00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.799 ball club last year. He should get an opportunity to 292 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:49.000 play through it, especially now. 293 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.080 And there's much more to talk about on that, and 294 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.639 we'll do that here as the show goes along. Today, 295 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.679 also to yesterday, the Astros sending away Rafael Montero in 296 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.559 a trade to the Braves, sending cash as well and 297 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.440 getting a player to be named later. Rockets clinched the 298 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.639 two seeds, so the final three games of the regular 299 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:09.279 season mean nothing to them in terms of playoff seeding. 300 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.440 They get the Clippers tonight out in LA seven one 301 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.639 three two one two five seven ninety.

So we're just getting going here 304 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:21.799 on the Sean Salisbury Show on a Wednesday. 305 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.639 Doctor Jeff witz It at witstvision dot com wh I 306 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.159 T S E T T the very best in the business. 307 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.759 Talk to those who've gone to the Lasik procedure like me, 308 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.000 or that get eyecare from doctor Whitst.

Someone three two, one, two five 332 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.080 seven ninety By the way to Shawn nine thirty. Today 333 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:46.279 Wednesday our day rol weekly visit with Dana Brown. It 334 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:49.919 seems like it's very popular to, you know, talk about 335 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:52.200 the moves. The astros haven't made the money, they haven't 336 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.159 spent whatever. It might be permission to throw some flowers 337 00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:59.080 at at Dana Brown for the job that he's done, 338 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.559 because I don't think enough people have done that, because 339 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.120 I mean, you know, last year, you spend the money 340 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.879 on Josh Hater and at the time it's not looking good, 341 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.039 it's looking like, hey, we spent the wrong money here 342 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:13.200 yet again. And this is a guy who is not 343 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:17.159 what he was in Milwaukee or in San Diego this year, 344 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:19.799 Where would you be without Josh Hater And especially last 345 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.080 night an eleven pitch first inning of his outing and 346 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.759 then he's equally as efficient in the second inning of it. 347 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.679 You had in Brendan Rodgers, you had in Steven Okert. 348 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:31.320 I mean, look, I know I just talked about Taylor Scott, 349 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.440 but a guy like Taylor Scott sean this team is 350 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.120 winning because of things being done on the fly by 351 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:36.759 Dana Brown. 352 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:42.039 I don't know what the problem is with people have 353 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.480 a problem with Dana Brown. They made the decision last year. Now, 354 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:47.679 in the long term, the trade he made to bring 355 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:54.039 the guy from Toronto here left Handerkuci, Yeah, Kakuci is 356 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:57.600 now an angel. Brought him here. He was masterful here, 357 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:00.320 And I know you had to change three get rid 358 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:01.840 of three people that you that they are going to 359 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:03.639 be good future. So in the long run the trades 360 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.960 is going to benefit Toronto. It just will. But in 361 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.400 the short term, if youre going to sign him again 362 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.079 what they needed last year for the timing of it 363 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:14.799 was a great move and when it first was made, 364 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:16.200 we all kind of looked at he is that too? 365 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:18.240 Much to give up. It turned out that it would 366 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.279 have been nice to re sign Kakuchi, but it just 367 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.920 I mean that happened quickly into free agency as well. 368 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:28.960 So I think Dana Brown's been outstanding. No matter what 369 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.279 you do here, even though you're the guy after the 370 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:34.839 guy that Jeff Luno is always going to be the 371 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.200 measuring stick for people who get the GM job. Even 372 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.279 if you do well, you can go to Indianapolis and 373 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.960 play quarterback after Peyton Manning go to eight Pro Bowls, 374 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.200 You're never going to be Peyton Manning. It's the same 375 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.240 thing here and maybe Dana Brown will. But the hang 376 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.000 up with a J. Hinch and Jeff Luno here and 377 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.720 I understand why is they're just it's like the people's 378 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.440 love for Juli Guriel Christian Walker at forty this year, 379 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.839 it's still well, should we bring Ulie back? I mean, 380 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.720 you'll still get that, and I understand it. So you 381 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.000 can't win for losing. No matter what Dana Brown does, 382 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.480 it's gonna be compared to Luno. And oh and one 383 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:15.880 move like a Montero who the contract was not a 384 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:21.359 Dana Brown contract. If we recall that, if there's a 385 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.200 move like that or getting rid of Kyle Tucker. Now 386 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:25.079 he's a National League Player of the Week. Well, is 387 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:29.519 it gonna work? Wesnsky's gonna be good, Paradius is doing 388 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.920 his job, and Cam Smith looks to be like he's 389 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.200 gonna be a star in the league. It's gonna take time. 390 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.200 You don't judge them like an NFL draft the next year. 391 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.079 You judge it two, three, four years down the road. 392 00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.519 So I think Dana Brown's made some fantastic moves. Not 393 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:44.440 all of them are gonna work. And they don't all 394 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.640 work in LA. They don't all work in New York, 395 00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.720 they don't all work in Philly. They don't all work. Okay, 396 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.240 but uh, I tease a hell of a talent evaluator. 397 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:55.519 And I know see what happens when they go on 398 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:57.759 and say read the back of the baseball card. People 399 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:00.519 judge like some of the decisions by the fact it, Hey, 400 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:02.440 it's a long season. But he said, it's a long season. 401 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:03.640 But the last two years, and you know what, when 402 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.680 they struggled, they've come back out of it and been 403 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.400 right there to win a division. So he's right, we 404 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:10.480 get more impatient. He's got to stay the course. We 405 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.039 don't have to because we're media and we're fans every day. 406 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:15.559 He can't just all of a sudden after three days 407 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:17.960 say you know what a mistake that was. You got 408 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:20.279 to let it play out. They realize that Montero no 409 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:23.319 longer is bringing what they thought they were going to get, 410 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.799 and you move him. So and there's some small I mean, 411 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.079 Christian walkermaned it being a monster move in this offseason. 412 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.400 So yes, but it's a thankless job. It's a thankless job. 413 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.640 People still aren't over David Cully when it comes to 414 00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:38.480 Nick Cassario, and now he's got the right coach. Sometimes 415 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:40.319 you got to sludge through some stuff to get to 416 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:43.079 the guy who's going to lead your your building, or 417 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:46.920 your team or your business. So I don't I just 418 00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:49.359 when when people are critical, guy strikes out and it's 419 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.400 Danon Brown's fault. I mean, now, if you brought in 420 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:55.519 a hack, and you know, I think that like when 421 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:57.880 you kept to bray you too long, and there's circumstances 422 00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:59.920 to go with it, kept to bray you too long, 423 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:02.880 you know, it falls on Dana Brown. When Dana wasn't 424 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:04.279 the one who brought him in the first place, if 425 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:08.400 you recall, wasn't that the Jeff bagwell so and so 426 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:13.200 it doesn't really matter. It's just that they just heap 427 00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:15.599 it on him. But it's you know, sometimes when a 428 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:17.519 guy struggles, I get it, you make moves or you 429 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:19.640 miss out on moves. A lot of times it's things 430 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:21.359 you didn't do that people wish you would have gone 431 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.440 out and done. Get a center fielder when you know, 432 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:25.799 after all these years and we need another outfield or 433 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:27.680 getting what are we going to do for power? Why 434 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:29.480 is aut two big playing left? But some of them 435 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.079 are not just Dana Brown decisions. They are also you know, 436 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:34.680 Joe A. Spotta and Jim Crane decisions. So when it 437 00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.839 comes to the big money, that's not a Dana Brown 438 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.279 decision to keep Kyle Tucker. Sure they wanted Kyle Tucker. 439 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.359 When it comes to where the money's going to end 440 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:46.559 up being, it was just priced out here in Houston. 441 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:49.279 So I think he's done more good than he has mistakes. 442 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:51.039 You're going to make him along the way. I think 443 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.880 Danta Brown deserves a ton of credit and has done 444 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:55.799 a hell of a job as a GM, especially in 445 00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:58.680 his first time role as being a GM. You said 446 00:20:58.720 --> 00:20:58.920 Joe A. 447 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:00.759 Spotta, who was the other guy in terms of you 448 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.880 mentioning with decisions, because you'd also mentioned, you know, with 449 00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.400 the Texans, Nick Cassario, Jim Crane. And the point that 450 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.400 I'm bringing up here is sometimes you have marching orders. 451 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:13.119 I mean, with a bray you. I understand what Dana 452 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:16.279 Brown was charged with. I guarantee you probably off the air. Dana, 453 00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:18.559 what do you think about Jose No, we're really concerned. 454 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:20.400 I don't think this is going to work out. I 455 00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:22.000 really truly believe that's what you would have heard. 456 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:22.160 Well. 457 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:24.240 He also who's the one who said on this show 458 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:28.039 that he felt that Jiner Diaz was the future catcher 459 00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:32.960 here when Maldonada was playing and Diaz was platooning with him, 460 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:35.079 and there was a guy in the minor leagues who 461 00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.240 was supposed to be the heir apparent named Corey Lee, 462 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:39.880 and he came out here and said it, and everybody, 463 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:42.880 look what. A couple months later, Corey Lee's playing somewhere 464 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:46.319 else and he had no problem doing it. And right 465 00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:49.759 now the struggles are we okay? Are we now looking 466 00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.319 at him and saying, what a horrible decision by Dana 467 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:54.799 Brown to keep yanar Ds instead of Corey Lee? Are 468 00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:57.160 we there because he struggled in the first dozen games 469 00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:59.200 of the season after what he did in a full 470 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:01.519 body of work last ye some would say, right now, yeah, 471 00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:04.440 well it's wrong because it goes. If that's the case, 472 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.079 Bregman would have been cut twenty seven times as an astro. 473 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:10.039 They would have dfaate him twenty because if you just go, 474 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:12.640 let's let's judge Bregman by April, not in Fenway now 475 00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.839 this year he's out of his mind. But here we 476 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:17.160 would have said, oh, it's time to move on to 477 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.039 guy's a bust. And then you wait and then all 478 00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:21.359 of a sudden May hits, and then June hits, and 479 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.599 you got a guy who does all he does, so 480 00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.759 it's it'd be silly. So right now you're saying, man, 481 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:29.240 the Corey leeuld be great or somebody, I'm sure there's 482 00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:33.319 some bring Maldy back, Okay, but y or start Victor 483 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.640 Krottini every day that's coming. That's already there, show that 484 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.400 that's common. So is Dana Brown. Are we saying it 485 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.680 was a blown decision by Dana Brown to move Corey 486 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:46.079 Lee and make Yaner d as a future No. Last year, 487 00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:48.039 everybody in this town was saying this is a cleanup 488 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:49.519 hitter of your five hitter is going to be an 489 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:51.920 All Star for eight years, ten years. That that's what 490 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.240 people were saying. So well, it's i'll use their term, 491 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:55.839 it's early. 492 00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:59.039 Well it's also too to your point about Yiner, I mean, 493 00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:01.279 if for the longest time it didn't seem like it 494 00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:02.680 was a Dana thing, it seemed like it was a 495 00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:05.720 dusty thing, and he wanted Martin Maldonado out. 496 00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:09.599 There, much like managing the pitching staff, get it, not 497 00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:12.880 the bat Nobody, nobody that even has watched a game 498 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.079 of baseball would have thought you'd keep Maldonado in because 499 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:19.519 of plate production. Sitting behind the plate, yeah, standing next 500 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:19.759 to it. 501 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.119 No, it's kind of like you know, we talked about 502 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.480 every week with Steve Sparks, and I mean he's adamant 503 00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:27.759 that Jake Myers is as a matter of fact, he 504 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:29.319 said it a couple of days ago with us, and 505 00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:31.519 then last night in the first inning, you see what 506 00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:35.400 Jake Myers and his value is out there. But no, 507 00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:37.920 I mean, I mean, look, you know, sometimes it's decisions 508 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:40.480 that aren't your control, but when it comes to just 509 00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:44.119 overall trying to keep this thing competitive. I really just 510 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:47.920 cannot understand the people who are against the job that 511 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.839 Dana Brown has done because I think most of the 512 00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:53.400 moves he's made, like Steven Okert last night, see somebody 513 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:55.279 on Twitter, what a fined by Dana Brown. 514 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.960 Well, that's his job, so he's supposed to do. Dana 515 00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:02.559 Brown's built his chops is a talent evaluator, a scout. 516 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:05.640 He knows talent. Now they got to perform when he 517 00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:07.160 gets here in the GM role. There's a lot of 518 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.079 other things that come along with it. Yeah, it is. 519 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.200 It'll play itself out. And Dana Brown's done a nice job. 520 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:17.400 And you know what the thing about it is general 521 00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.279 manager's role is not to please you and me. It's 522 00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:20.839 to make sure he puts the best people on the 523 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:23.359 on the ball field and to give Joe a spot 524 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:27.039 of the best opportunity to compete and the players. But 525 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:29.839 it's not all every single day going to look like 526 00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:32.920 we'd like it to look, and it didn't look every 527 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:35.519 day like he'd like it to look. But it's part 528 00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:37.839 of building culture and building the team. And hence the 529 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:39.839 one hundred and sixty two game schedule. So if we 530 00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:42.880 played twelve twenty seven games, be concerned about yan or 531 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:44.519 d Is and some of the other things. We don't 532 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.000 play twenty seven games. So I think I think Dana 533 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:50.720 Brown's proven that the general manager job that was given 534 00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:53.960 him was right and when it given him, that he earned. 535 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:55.839 But it was given to him as opposed to anybody 536 00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:58.680 else that interviewed for it, and I think it's going 537 00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:00.920 to pay dividends for them. Remember, he does have a 538 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.000 ceiling on where he's allowed to go, not with his 539 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:06.440 talent or his ability. The ceiling is you can be 540 00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:13.799 great if even with Jordan, Let's say next contract comes 541 00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:16.480 up and it's people are talking the big, big, big money. 542 00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:19.000 There's a chance he'll be playing somewhere else. You do 543 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.440 know this, Uh huh, So how's that, Dan Bright? If 544 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:24.839 there's a certain limit where you got to go, you know, oh, 545 00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:29.279 here's this Now all of a sudden you that there's 546 00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:31.599 there's this money and now we get to another level 547 00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:33.440 where this is rarefied. You get to you have to 548 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:35.960 prove with the guy who signs him. And so there 549 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.079 is a limit on Oh you just it's not the 550 00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:40.079 Dodgers where they've opened it up and they've opened the 551 00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:41.640 skies and said do you spend as much money as 552 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:44.319 you want, but you better win a championship. Here. It's 553 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.079 to a point, but then that limit stops, and you 554 00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.640 better find some talent underneath the three hundred and forty 555 00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.720 fifty million dollars a year.

I am going to go ahead 586 00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:23.480 and just right here on the TV in the studio, 587 00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:25.920 I'm going to download the Masters app so we can 588 00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:30.640 watch Raffie, Afy, Barnerrat and whoever else goes off tomorrow 589 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.519 at like seven am Georgia time, and we can have 590 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.039 that in the studio. And then somebody birdies the first 591 00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:38.039 hole and you say, oh, hey, you know this guy 592 00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:41.839 that's one thousand to one is the leader right now 593 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.680 at the Masters. People, of course never know. You never 594 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.720 know when it's going to be Zach Johnson or Mike Weir. 595 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:51.720 I never you never know, No, you don't. And as 596 00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:53.400 a matter of fact, a couple of hours from now, 597 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.079 we're going to do our picks five apiece, right now, 598 00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:56.599 what you told me? 599 00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:57.680 We're going to do that? Sure? 600 00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:00.880 Yeah, for five each, five each? All right, five of us. 601 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.920 And I've already got my short list. I've got my 602 00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:07.359 draft board built up here. Well, as a rookie to 603 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.839 this show, you pick second. Oh, it's fine, you just 604 00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:12.319 just so you know, you pick second, and we don't 605 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:13.400 go around and wrap around. 606 00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:15.640 You just pick second. It's like the draft the second round. 607 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.599 You pick second until you beat me. And that's never 608 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.160 happened on the majors on this show. Really Yeah, well 609 00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:24.039 one time, I take that back, I think one time, 610 00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:28.079 one time, three one major. Brian's still sleep. So but 611 00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:31.599 that's a fact. I'm owed like forty seven breakfasts here. 612 00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:33.880 So when it comes to picking golf, you you've got 613 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:37.400 probably no shot in this one. But we'll give you 614 00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.160 a chance. Since you are picking second, we'll give you 615 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:42.839 a chance. But until you win, you don't get to 616 00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:46.200 pick first. You smell that, Yeah, do you smell that? 617 00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:50.039 You mean the fact that, yeah, burnt rubber, you're getting 618 00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:51.480 your ass kicked and left in the dust. 619 00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:53.680 Well, I mean, you know that could be that very well, 620 00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:57.400 could be the conclusion here. But I show up, Oh yeah, 621 00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:00.920 I smell a challenge. That's that's don't ever throw the 622 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:02.759 gauntlet down, brother, if you're not prepared. 623 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:05.240 Got off the tracks, the trains coming through, talking to 624 00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:07.920 the wrong guy. Man, talking to the wrong guy. Always 625 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:10.240 prepared for that. So bring whatever you think you got 626 00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:11.039 with your pick. 627 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.240 And Sean Tripoli is almost like the guy in the 628 00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:17.079 grocery store. You got the wrong guy, bud. Yeah that's it. 629 00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:21.559 Yeah, wrong guy, wrong boat buddy. Yeah. 630 00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:23.720 Anyway, all right, so we're gonna do that here, coming 631 00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:25.960 up in a couple hours, you know, Sean, just to 632 00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:29.960 continue the Astros conversation. They're still not hitting, but I 633 00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:31.920 mean we touched on a little bit in the first segment. 634 00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:35.599 The good news is the guys, you know in the 635 00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:39.119 starting rotation, the last couple of games you get Monday night. 636 00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:41.039 I know most of us weren't watching it at the time, 637 00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:43.119 but Hayden was Nesky goes out there does a hell 638 00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.079 of a job, and you're like, Okay, hey, Dana, I 639 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:47.079 see you working there. I see, I see what you 640 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:49.440 liked about this guy. And then last night you get 641 00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:52.640 fromber being fromber where we expect him to go out 642 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:54.720 there and get ground ball outs and be able to 643 00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:56.599 get you a quality outing. And then today you get 644 00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:59.359 Hunter Brown. But I mean for some of the other 645 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:02.680 guys in the ball I mean numerous chances last night. 646 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:04.920 And oh, by the way too, I had even texted 647 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:09.000 Blummer after a couple of plays and Ed said, I mean, seriously, 648 00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:12.000 do the Mariners have lucky rabbits foots like just you know, 649 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:14.519 on them on their person at all times, because some 650 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:17.640 of these plays they're making defensively, it is so many. 651 00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.640 Look what I found plays that you're just like, come on, man, 652 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:22.480 it's called preparing. 653 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.640 Brother. The Mariner is a good team. Anytime you can 654 00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:28.640 go into their building and take care of them. A 655 00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:31.640 lot of people had them, well they had it. It 656 00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:33.880 was the Texas Rangers, at least some of these so 657 00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:38.000 called experts across the country. Texas Rangers, Mariners and the 658 00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:40.000 ass was all what within two or three games of 659 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:43.039 each other, and the Rangers is the favorite in most places. 660 00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:47.319 But they can pitch, they do play defense, and last 661 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:51.680 year some superstar bats let them down and they went 662 00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:53.680 through it, and they helped the Astros on their road 663 00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:55.640 because they when they were twelve and twenty four and 664 00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.640 then in the middle of the season they went through 665 00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:01.759 some struggles that allowed the Astros to chase them down. 666 00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:05.000 With Astros good baseball. So yeah, they're making some good decisions. 667 00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:08.519 And right now, I'll tell you this, at some point 668 00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:12.559 in time, they are going to hit consistently. They just will. 669 00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:16.359 But anytime you can go literally steal one and extra 670 00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:19.920 innings on the road using a bunch of bullpen guys 671 00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:21.960 and getting six innings out of your starter with eight 672 00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:25.400 strikeouts and giving up, you know what, a couple hits, 673 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:29.920 that's a good thing. I'd far more worry even though 674 00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:32.279 the strength of this team, in my mind is pitching. 675 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.799 I would worry far more if we were into this 676 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:39.599 season right now, record different, you know, a few more losses. 677 00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:42.680 I'd feel far different if it was our starting pitching 678 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.680 can't get out of the third or fourth inning. That 679 00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:47.279 would start to bother me. And then you start be 680 00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:51.319 why because then the collateral effect and damage of happen 681 00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:55.599 to tax a bullpen early and then move on to 682 00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:59.440 the next Normally, pitchers are ahead of hitting normally at 683 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:01.240 this time, at this point in time, they just are. 684 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:04.319 Now you don't go. Pitchers are little head hitters are 685 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.000 still feeling their way out first time through during a season, 686 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:11.240 and then the pitcher's settling. So I'd worry far more. 687 00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:14.839 I know that there's changes in Kyle Tucker and Bregman 688 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.519 are gone and all that, but they've got some professionals 689 00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:20.039 on this team that have proven in their past here 690 00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:23.519 and elsewhere they can hit. You should be excited because 691 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:25.440 the guy in centerfield is actually putting the bat on 692 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:27.480 the ball, which tells me that's got to be a 693 00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:31.200 good omen. If he's hitting well, it can't be that 694 00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:34.160 he hits two sixty five and nobody else hits two fifty. 695 00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:37.359 Al Tuovey's raking at the top in a new position 696 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:39.839 for the most part, not at the top, but you 697 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:42.680 know it's not affecting whatever's going on when he plays 698 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.839 in left field. He's still raking. Jordan's long ball hasn't 699 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.759 started to come up, but it will. I told you 700 00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:50.440 a million times not worried about him. You're starting to 701 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:53.799 see some guys get going. Rogers will get going. He's 702 00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:56.039 been a really good hitter in his career, whether it's 703 00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:57.559 at Colorado or night. You still got to put the 704 00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.119 bat And nothing about the air in Colorado that puts 705 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:03.599 the barrel of the bat on the ball. Okay, more 706 00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:05.200 space to hit it, but you still got to put 707 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.880 the barrel of the bat on it, or wherever it 708 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.319 is that you get your singles and doubles and hits from. 709 00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:14.039 So I am honestly, and there's no way Yina and 710 00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.160 Paena hit like this the rest of the year. There's 711 00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:19.599 no friggin way. And they're sacking there. They're surviving with 712 00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:21.920 good pitching and getting some clutch wins that come from 713 00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:24.960 behind and then you know, doing their thing and then 714 00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:27.680 having to you know, then get and beat and then 715 00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:29.400 having to come from you know, take care of their 716 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:33.799 business in another low scoring game. So pitching is thriving. 717 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:38.400 The hitting. There's no way Diaz Painia and even with 718 00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:41.839 Jordon's lack of power right now, I can't imagine that 719 00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:44.559 we're having this same conversation at the end of this 720 00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:48.759 month or sometime in the middle of May. So surviving 721 00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:51.039 and sometimes you got to survive stints where like, what's 722 00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:53.759 the hell's going on with our other guys Florida in 723 00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:56.559 the National Championship game, What's the hell's going on with 724 00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:58.480 Clayton can't get a shot off? And they still hang 725 00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:02.200 around the are doing their thing, and the big boppers 726 00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:07.160 haven't got started yet. So I believe hitting will come 727 00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:10.400 right now. God forbid that it's runners in scoring positions 728 00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:11.960 a problem at the midway point of the season, and 729 00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:15.400 we're still having that conversation. But I don't think we'll 730 00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:17.800 be having the same conversation we're having now or that 731 00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:20.199 we had last year at that time about why are 732 00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:23.519 so many runners stranded? At some point in time, your 733 00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:27.719 big boppers are going to get hot, stay healthy pitching, 734 00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:30.880 stay in these games that you're not exploding, and then 735 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:33.320 when you do explode, then it's then then you get 736 00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:35.719 a little bit of relief because the bullpen doesn't get taxed. 737 00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.840 Oh, by the way, the twelve inning last night, one 738 00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:40.719 of your favorite plays happened. Chas McCormick leading off the 739 00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:44.559 inning with the runner on second, laid one down and 740 00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:47.639 what happened now they ended up scoring the go ahead run. 741 00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:49.920 Louder So the people in the they ended up scoring 742 00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.920 the go ahead. Okay, fine, you're right, so. 743 00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:56.119 Every now and then, now what you want, That's exactly 744 00:34:56.119 --> 00:35:02.280 what I want, because especially with the who the last year, 745 00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:05.639 if a ball was four feet outside, try to hit 746 00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:08.760 it over the left field wall, and who the year 747 00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:12.599 before was punch it the other way. Smart decision by 748 00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:17.360 the manager, good job by the player, and lo and 749 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:22.079 behold small ball. Two games in a row they've been 750 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:25.039 able to lay a bunt down and it's paid off 751 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:27.440 for them, and it also paid off for the team 752 00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:31.679 that beat them the night before. I'm not a bunting guy, 753 00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:34.719 but I am a bunting guy when it matters. I 754 00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:37.119 don't care if it's you walk a guy you, but 755 00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:40.280 I got to move people over. With first base open, 756 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:42.079 you got to or your first get him to second 757 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:44.199 so he's in scoring position. Second, get him to third. 758 00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:47.360 Every now and again, that's just good smart baseball. Something 759 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:50.320 that Joe A. Spota seems to understand. Small ball at 760 00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:52.119 a couple of games in a row, and it's worked 761 00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.239 for you. Well, it's it's a novel concept, a concept. 762 00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:56.800 Put the ball in play and do something smart with 763 00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:00.159 the bat and the baseball and a runner and eventually 764 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:03.440 it ends up leading to, you know, a smart move. 765 00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:05.599 So there's a time and a place, and the time 766 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:08.599 and the place is the manager will decided, but it's 767 00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:12.320 worked for them to perfection the last couple of days. 768 00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.079 Well, a good honest man admits when somebody else is right, 769 00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:16.320 and you, Sean, you were right. 770 00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:18.480 Oh now listen if you said, Sean, would you like 771 00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:21.079 to bun every game? No, Well, if there's a guy 772 00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:22.719 in second, no outs, I got to move over it's 773 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:25.239 one to one. Yeah, I don't mind doing that if 774 00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:28.559 I can get him over. And it depends on who's 775 00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:30.840 the plate. If Ordon comes to the plate and is 776 00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:32.639 struck out forty seven times in a row, guess what, 777 00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:34.840 I'm not having him deal fun right because the forty 778 00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.079 eight time may end up in the upper tank. So 779 00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:40.039 but it's time and a place. I just don't know where. 780 00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:42.679 We decided to draw the line at delineation where once 781 00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:44.559 it gets to this year, not allowed to bunt anymore 782 00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:48.639 past twenty and twenty two thousand and fifteen. Yeah, yeah, 783 00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:51.000 we actually are. You swing through it and miss my 784 00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:53.320 guy ain't moving. Put the ball down. At least when 785 00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:56.920 it's in play. There's action and a bunt every now 786 00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:00.599 and again has its moments and its place often, but 787 00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:03.119 when it does and you execute it, it's a beautiful thing. 788 00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:05.679 Takes you back to when people played in nineteen seventies 789 00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:09.360 and eighties and actually made livings doing that. Guys stayed 790 00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:12.360 in the league because they could butt once in a while. 791 00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:14.679 It works. Yeah, it worked for Brett Butler. Then he 792 00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:17.760 took a wolf of ball off the midsections. Damn right. 793 00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:21.039 It works, and it'll get you a lot of opportunities 794 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:23.199 used in the right situation with the right people. 795 00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:25.880 Yeah, we just can't discount it. Nope, for sure not 796 00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:30.239 all right. The torpedo bats though. The conversation that won't 797 00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.920 go away. We'll still be talking astros Ronnie, I see 798 00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:34.280 you want to get in on that, but a prominent 799 00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.440 voice says, cheating, No way. We'll talk about that here 800 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:39.159 on at the Sean Salisbury Show. 801 00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:41.079 Hey, you want to scratch some dream vacations off your 802 00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:43.840 bucket list?

It's Texas Lottery dot Com. 811 00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:17.280 Texas Lottery dot Com. 812 00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:24.360 Let the celebration start war Sewn Salisbury The Sean Salisbury Show. 813 00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:28.519 Good morning, Ronnie. How you doing pretty good? 814 00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:28.920 Guys? 815 00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:34.679 I got two concerns. One people knocking Dana Brown. I 816 00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:38.400 just don't understand it. The Astros are just now, I think, 817 00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:43.199 getting over the effect of having lost four draft choices 818 00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:49.239 and international money when they couldn't sign young players. So 819 00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:51.719 when you want to deal with the trade deadline, you 820 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:56.159 need to deal prospects, and they've done that. But I 821 00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:58.599 just hope that they don't if they're not going to 822 00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:01.880 sign their free agents and they need to keep their prospects, 823 00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:04.559 I don't want to see them hemorrhaging out of both 824 00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:07.280 ends of the body, you know. So, I mean, I 825 00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:12.159 wish we could have kept Kakuchi. The real concern with 826 00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:17.280 the Astros that I'm having now is we can't stop 827 00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:21.920 guys from stealing bases against us. And I don't blame Yiner. 828 00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:25.239 It's the pitching staff. I don't know. You know, they 829 00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:27.840 don't have the kinds of pictures that can hold base 830 00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:30.440 runners on. And I know you can't throw the first 831 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:33.320 one hundred and fifty times and at bat like you 832 00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:36.199 used to be able to. But it's gonna hurt them. 833 00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:39.119 It's gonna really hurt them, particularly if they don't start 834 00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:40.880 scoring runs themselves. 835 00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:46.199 Appreciate the call, Ronnie, great boy, Ronnie. I first off, 836 00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.599 I don't. I mean, we could go down a checklist. 837 00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:51.360 Maybe I don't see it as often as you guys, 838 00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:54.320 because I'm not paying as much attention. How many people 839 00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:57.559 are crushing Dana Brown right now? If they are all 840 00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.840 over social now, I don't get on like certain you know, 841 00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:03.639 sites to go see what everybody's saying about it. If 842 00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:05.880 it's not on Twitter, isn't glaring. I don't think the 843 00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:08.039 comments I don't pay much attention to unless it's on 844 00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:10.599 my somebody sent me a message. I'll always try to respond. 845 00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:12.920 But I mean, I don't know what the bashing of 846 00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:17.320 Dana Brown would be right now. But they kept Cam 847 00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:19.719 Smith Cam Smith's gonna be a player. You got to 848 00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:21.920 let him do this thing. I just to me, and 849 00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:24.800 so maybe I'm I hear it, we all hear it. 850 00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:26.800 But I'm talking about where it's like he's the reason 851 00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:30.400 they're not hitting. That's not true. So if that's if 852 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:33.159 that's where this is going. But number two is yes, 853 00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:38.840 the inability to stop people from taking basis is a problem. 854 00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:41.400 And if they don't hit, you're gonna put way too 855 00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:45.480 much stress on a pitching staff because the expectations. You can't. 856 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:47.760 You guys aren't going six and two thirds all five 857 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:50.079 They're just not going to do it. There's one million 858 00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:53.360 of rotation in a five game start and another may 859 00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:54.559 g it to five and two thirds, but you're not 860 00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:56.400 gonna get three guys going six and two thirds or 861 00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:58.440 seven back to back to back. It just doesn't happen. 862 00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:02.800 So and that's why all the specialists in the bullpen. 863 00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:05.119 So at some point in time, it's gonna have to 864 00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:07.760 the one's gonna have to carry the other. I mean, 865 00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:10.039 even though pitching has been dynamite for the last couple 866 00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:12.480 of years, even with injuries, they hung in there with 867 00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:16.239 Blanco and the way they pitched that in Scott coming 868 00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:17.679 out of the bullpen. They're going to have to hit. 869 00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:20.920 And it is early, but it is a concern. But 870 00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:23.840 I can't imagine, like I said, that your best hitters 871 00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:26.119 are gonna well, they've done it too many times to 872 00:41:26.159 --> 00:41:28.119 wallow down there now. Over a full season, we'll see 873 00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:31.360 injuries come into play. But what you're seeing now is 874 00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:34.440 not going to be a consistent run production for the Astros. 875 00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:37.000 It'd be almost impossible for them to stay there. 876 00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:38.920 I would say with Diana, it's more of just a 877 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:42.719 momentary thing. The Kakuchie trade last year, how could you 878 00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.400 do that? You got absolutely fleeced. And then I mean, 879 00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:48.679 you know, you brought up the guys Bregman and Tucker 880 00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:51.519 both being American League National League Players of the Week. 881 00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:55.199 I mean the perceived handling of the Bregmant situation. I 882 00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:57.480 mean the way I looked at that. Sean was a 883 00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:01.079 general manager who said, I'm not waiting. I'm not waiting 884 00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:04.320 for this guy and for us to continuously up our 885 00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:05.199 offer of cool. 886 00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:07.800 They didn't continue to slap their offer, and I'm under saying 887 00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:08.920 that they didn't continue to slept. 888 00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:10.639 No do we know that now, But I mean, I'm 889 00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:12.599 just saying the time, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean you 890 00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.400 just you're not gonna do the Pittsburgh Steelers with Aaron 891 00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:16.039 Rodgers thing. 892 00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:19.000 You're not waiting, you're going. I also, well, I think 893 00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:20.800 the Pittsburgh Steelers are out of their mind waiting on 894 00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:22.880 Aaron Rodgers too, unless this deal has been done for 895 00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.719 three weeks and and he's known it, and that's why 896 00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:27.440 there's no sense of urgency. He's just kind of taking 897 00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:29.159 his time. But if he's holding him hostage, I already 898 00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:31.079 checked out because he's not going to win another super Bowl. 899 00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:32.679 So just so you know it as good as he is. 900 00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:37.159 But back to this is, I don't think that they made. 901 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.199 My gut is that there was a certain ceiling on that, 902 00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:42.760 and so the whole Dana Brown there's only a certain 903 00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:44.480 place he can go. And I'm now now that I 904 00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:46.559 see it in the energy, I'm not sure Alex Redman 905 00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:50.079 wanted to be here. I'm not sure Alex Redman wanted 906 00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:52.119 to I mean maybe he did. And when we say 907 00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:55.639 and of course he did, well, he's got rejuvenated energy 908 00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:57.320 and he's playing out of his mind right now. So 909 00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:00.760 say what we want at a buck fifty? What it was? 910 00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:02.679 I don't think they got their offer up to one 911 00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:05.800 seventy one seventy five, because why do I think Dana 912 00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:08.000 Brown would have liked to keep him? I absolutely do. 913 00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:09.960 Matter of fact, he said on this show, I said, 914 00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:12.199 who's the guy that has to make this go? And 915 00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:14.480 this was when they were floundering around last year and 916 00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:16.800 just started going. He goes with, I mean, I didn't 917 00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:19.360 get to finish my sentence, and he said, Alex Bregman, 918 00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:22.119 And you want that guy to get out of town 919 00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:24.440 for a buck sixty? I doubt it. But Alex was 920 00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:27.480 never taken a one sixty here. He would have loved 921 00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:30.519 to stay here for two ten, but it was easy 922 00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.079 to go somewhere else when he got what he wanted. 923 00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:33.719 He got good money, He's got all these opt outs, 924 00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:36.239 whateveryone wants to do. Watch him. I watched the Red 925 00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.599 Sox play problem most of the time. Every day. I'll 926 00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:41.960 watch minimum of six innings for one hundred and forty 927 00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:43.599 five games this year because I got the package and 928 00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:47.320 watch them watching yesterday, there's a different Alex Bregman approach 929 00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:49.719 this show. I'm just telling you there is, and I 930 00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.559 said it the other day yesterday. If this keeps up. 931 00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:53.960 When the end of the season comes, he'll be an 932 00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.159 MVP candidate. We've seen the movie in twenty nineteen. He's 933 00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:00.119 still now. I mean it appears he's capable doing. He 934 00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:03.199 loves a ballpark and there's something to be said, and 935 00:44:03.239 --> 00:44:05.599 there's a rejuvenated energy in him. If you can't see 936 00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:07.760 it with a naked eye, you're not paying attention. So 937 00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:09.360 I'm not even sure Bregnan want to be here. So 938 00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:11.280 you get to a point, Danny Brown, what are's supposed 939 00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:13.880 to do? Beg Borrow cheating steel, Jeff Van Gundy his 940 00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:16.559 ankle and if you didn't want to be here and 941 00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:21.000 a buck fifty six, they were never gonna let Dana 942 00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:23.119 Brown have two hundred million dollars to work with with 943 00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:26.960 Alex Bregman. Never and Alex was not coming back here 944 00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:31.639 for a buck sixty He could have easily so that 945 00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:34.599 discount wasn't coming or that fair salary, and so he 946 00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:39.119 moved on. There's certain things that sometimes as a gentle manager, 947 00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:42.599 if you it may be a win in losing. And 948 00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:45.559 we'll see over the long term. It's easy. Now we 949 00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:48.639 haven't even hit the twenty game mark, and look look 950 00:44:48.679 --> 00:44:52.880 at the conversations we're having I understand, and it's good banter. 951 00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:55.119 We gotta have good banter. But I got news for you, 952 00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:58.880 Jiner Diaz struggle. Isn't Dana Brown's issue. I mean it 953 00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:01.280 may become an issue. It ain't Data Brown's gig. He 954 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:04.639 ain't holding the damn bat. Pull your damn self out 955 00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:07.400 of it. That's what it is. But I'm sure Dane 956 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.320 is watching him closely because he always hangs around the 957 00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:13.320 cage and likes to offer advice without meddling with Joe 958 00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:16.559 spot his gig. So it's I know it's early, but 959 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:22.280 the Dana Brown, it's his fault. Listen. Most of the 960 00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:24.840 responsibility usually should fall on the guy who's making the 961 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:26.679 on the field decisions and the guy with the bat 962 00:45:26.679 --> 00:45:28.440 in his hand and the ball in his hand. 963 00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:31.480 We don't get much golf on the show, Sean. And 964 00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:34.039 somebody brought something up this week that I've been saying 965 00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:36.840 all along. We'll talk about that next right here, Sean 966 00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:37.679 Salisbury Show. 967 00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:39.639 Hey you guys, sort of propane or sort of with 968 00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:43.199 the c surtapro dot com for your free estimate, whether 969 00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:45.159 it's in home, online, whatever you want to do, whatever 970 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:49.000 you feel comfortable doing.

I was a customer first before 979 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:14.880 I became part of this family.

A guard from 1003 00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:39.679 Creighton is going to be joining U of H's team, 1004 00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:43.679 just a day removed from that hard loss in the 1005 00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:47.440 championship game. Someone three two one, two five seven ninety. 1006 00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:49.280 Get to the golf here in just a second. But 1007 00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:52.679 since we were talking Astros, Rob wants to wait in here. Trip, 1008 00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:55.039 You're gonna have to punch him up because my phone 1009 00:47:55.079 --> 00:47:57.760 screen just went up. Put Rob, what's going on? Good morning? 1010 00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:01.119 Hey, good morning, guys. Just kind of wanted to piggyback 1011 00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:03.079 on what you guys were just talking about. You know, 1012 00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:08.639 with the current state of the Astros, it's it's time. 1013 00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:10.760 We've been saying it for the past couple of years. 1014 00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:14.519 Now that this this kind of rebuild phase was coming 1015 00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:17.840 and we're there. I mean, we've got half the guys 1016 00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:21.320 in the field, our brand new guys. Bregman and Tucker 1017 00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:23.480 are gone. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is. 1018 00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:27.079 And I don't care that they both got ALNL Player 1019 00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:29.159 of the Week. I'm happy for him, but at the 1020 00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:31.440 end of the day, I still would have not not 1021 00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:34.679 made those deals. I don't think we I don't think 1022 00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:37.960 Bregman was ever gonna get the money that he was 1023 00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:40.159 asking for from US. I don't think his performance the 1024 00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:43.079 past three years had dictated it, and I certainly don't 1025 00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:45.960 think he earned the contract that he got in Boston. 1026 00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:48.920 I mean, great for him, but I still kind of 1027 00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:50.639 think in the long run that there's a good chance 1028 00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:52.840 Boston's gonna end up regretting that deal. With all the 1029 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:54.599 opt outs and the money they're paying him on a 1030 00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:57.280 three year basis, this is the first year if he 1031 00:48:57.400 --> 00:48:58.880 keeps us up. This is the first time in three 1032 00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:00.840 or four years that he's even to sniff an All 1033 00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:04.679 Star vote. So I mean, good bye him. That's exciting, 1034 00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:07.519 but you know, history had also shown it's really not 1035 00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:09.639 that surprising form over there because if you look at 1036 00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:13.719 his stats before he went to Boston, his hitting stats 1037 00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:16.440 in Boston were never bad beginning, middle or end of 1038 00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:16.920 the season. 1039 00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:18.599 He'd always hit well in Boston. 1040 00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:21.559 So there was a side that was, well, he's a 1041 00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:24.480 second half player, but there was also the side that says, 1042 00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:27.119 he's always done well in Boston. So you weren't really 1043 00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:29.599 sure what you were gonna get. But if you got 1044 00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:32.559 to go by the numbers he didn't earn, then he 1045 00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:34.760 didn't earn the contract that he was looking for here. 1046 00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:38.440 So there's nothing to be upset about that. Hindsight's twenty 1047 00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:41.239 twenty whatever. I'm not mad about it. I still wouldn't 1048 00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:42.360 have not made that deal. 1049 00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:44.280 I would have done the same thing they did. I 1050 00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:48.159 would have let him go. I'm glad he went to Boston. Yeah, yeah, 1051 00:49:48.360 --> 00:49:50.119 you're exactly right. I would have done the same thing, 1052 00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:52.559 considering what he wanted for a price, I would have 1053 00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:53.559 let him go where he is. 1054 00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:57.440 To quote moneyball, you know, you you let him go. 1055 00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:00.880 That opens up unlimited amount of possibility and we'll find 1056 00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:01.719 a way to play with that. 1057 00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:04.000 But until then, this is a rebuild. 1058 00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:06.559 We've got a guy that spent thirty games in the 1059 00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:09.880 minors and before that he was a college player. He'll 1060 00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:12.199 figure it out, but like you said, Sean, he's got 1061 00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:14.840 growing pains to go through, and unfortunately, the team's gonna 1062 00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:16.960 have to suffer and bear those growing pains, or otherwise 1063 00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:19.559 he's never gonna become the star that he's capable of becoming. 1064 00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:20.800 Fact. 1065 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:23.920 Until then, you know, these guys have got to play together. 1066 00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:26.239 It's like I said, it's practically a whole new squad 1067 00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:28.360 at two. They still learn in a brand new position. 1068 00:50:28.920 --> 00:50:31.280 You know, Jordan has always said I want to play 1069 00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:33.559 the field. I'm not sure when his bat's gonna wake 1070 00:50:33.639 --> 00:50:36.199 up because it you know, again, the numbers show when 1071 00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:39.320 he plays the field, his numbers are better. But now 1072 00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:41.559 we've got guys that can regularly play those fields and 1073 00:50:41.599 --> 00:50:44.440 they're they don't constantly put his knees at risk. Right, 1074 00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:46.280 He's gonna have to figure out that adjustment. 1075 00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:47.599 This is a growing year. 1076 00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:47.960 Guys. 1077 00:50:48.039 --> 00:50:49.920 We'll be fine, but we're gonna have to go through 1078 00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:52.519 the bumps in the road. That's all I got, guys, all. 1079 00:50:54.760 --> 00:51:01.159 Does He's exactly right. Roads said it before. Most roads 1080 00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:04.519 are unpaved. They just are, and then they've had their paved. 1081 00:51:04.519 --> 00:51:06.079 They've earned it. They paved it out a little bit. 1082 00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:08.639 Now there's a little construction on FM fourteen sixty three. 1083 00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:12.400 In full. Sure, they're going to have to some pitfalls 1084 00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:14.960 where it rains and it stops down, all the all 1085 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:18.280 the silly, cheesy comparisons, but the bottom line is that 1086 00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:21.679 they're there's some detours they're taking now. They haven't had 1087 00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:24.039 much detour the last seven eight years. Now they earned 1088 00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:27.519 it to get to that point, but detour of other competition. 1089 00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:30.679 But I'm done about players and the detours they've handled. 1090 00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:33.440 A player leaves, they've they've been fortunate the next guy 1091 00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:36.000 stepped up and done his thing, or the overall team 1092 00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:38.400 has grabbed it and said we'll overcome it, and they have. 1093 00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:41.039 Now they're in a I don't even know if it's 1094 00:51:41.119 --> 00:51:46.679 quite rebuilding, but it's different, different, and they're rebuilding some 1095 00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:48.559 too because you've got some young players in the next 1096 00:51:48.599 --> 00:51:50.679 three or four years. The lineup's even going to look 1097 00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:53.519 different two years from now than it does now, different 1098 00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:57.320 next year. It's just going to so they there is 1099 00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:01.320 some you're taking a detour mentioned the right field. You've 1100 00:52:01.320 --> 00:52:03.519 got a new third baseman, you got a new second baseman, 1101 00:52:03.559 --> 00:52:05.679 you got a new first baseman, you got a dh 1102 00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:07.400 to start off slow, you got a new left fielder, 1103 00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:10.239 you got a new visual that Jake Myers is hitting. 1104 00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:12.760 I mean at leads to east two times right, doing 1105 00:52:12.800 --> 00:52:15.440 some things. So it's different, but doesn't mean it's bad. 1106 00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:18.800 It's just started slow with the bats. But the growing 1107 00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:22.000 pains get in line. They've been through them before, so 1108 00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:23.760 this should not be any surprise, and you don't have 1109 00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:26.599 to go through They're not losing one hundred games. They 1110 00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:29.599 may lose eighty two games, they may lose eighty games, 1111 00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:32.840 they may lose seventy games. They're not losing one hundred, 1112 00:52:33.280 --> 00:52:35.480 so you're not getting no more sixty game you know, 1113 00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:38.519 win seasons or fifty five games you win. They now 1114 00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:40.800 have an opportunity, but the fans, all of us are 1115 00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:42.199 going to have to sit there and say, Okay, be 1116 00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:43.760 a little more patient. It's going to take the iron 1117 00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:46.719 or another a little while to get going. Have not 1118 00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:48.159 to do the back of baseball card has to do 1119 00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:50.320 with a recent body of work. Guys been pretty good. 1120 00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:54.960 So yeah, it's this is not going to be perfectly 1121 00:52:55.039 --> 00:52:56.599 paved road to get to where they want to go 1122 00:52:56.679 --> 00:52:57.000 this year. 1123 00:52:57.719 --> 00:53:00.599 It's just not well and it's also to the point 1124 00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:04.079 of differentiating between retooling and rebuilding is because I think 1125 00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:07.119 whenever you bring up the second our word right there 1126 00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:11.519 in sports, fans immediately start to get PTSD, especially once 1127 00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:13.679 here of oh, we're not going back to the early 1128 00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:15.119 twenty tens, are we Like? 1129 00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:16.239 That's what people think of. 1130 00:53:16.679 --> 00:53:19.320 Whenever you mentioned that word is all right, well, then 1131 00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:21.320 that means we're going to go in the Baseball Siberia. 1132 00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:23.559 We just saw it wrap up over at Toyota Center. 1133 00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:26.599 Now finally is the fruits of the labor of going 1134 00:53:26.679 --> 00:53:28.679 through that. But for the last five years it sucked. 1135 00:53:29.519 --> 00:53:32.320 The Rockets are just the Astros. A handful of years 1136 00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:37.400 later back in when these people were suffering through eight 1137 00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:39.800 thousand people being in the ballpark and nobody want to 1138 00:53:39.800 --> 00:53:42.199 show up, that's who the Rocket And now the Rockets 1139 00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:45.039 having Yeah, when Harden was here in West Westbrook and Crispaul, 1140 00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:47.400 they won games and they well health they had a 1141 00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:49.280 three to one lead and one So it's been a 1142 00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:51.760 little more recent for them. But over the last few years, 1143 00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:53.920 when Silas was hearing them growing and all the trades 1144 00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:56.199 and a new GM, they went through the O, hell, 1145 00:53:56.239 --> 00:53:58.519 we're not very good three years ago, well two years 1146 00:53:58.599 --> 00:54:03.079 removed from what twenty two to twenty three wins. Two 1147 00:54:03.199 --> 00:54:05.480 years removed and we're not even there yet because we're 1148 00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:08.400 not even at the end of that season. And now 1149 00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:10.239 here they are forty one last year, already in the 1150 00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:13.039 fifties this year and the two seed locked up now 1151 00:54:13.079 --> 00:54:15.679 they ain't. Nobody had that on their Bengal card playoffs 1152 00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:17.719 this year. I remember listening to people goals to get 1153 00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:19.199 to the playoffs be one of those teams just plus 1154 00:54:19.320 --> 00:54:22.360 they're the two seed now, can't take a sigh of relief, 1155 00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:25.039 and I'm sure Udoka is not letting them where it's like, oh, okay, 1156 00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:27.440 we're the two seed, we're pretty good. The truth of 1157 00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:29.400 the matter is the odds for them to win an 1158 00:54:29.480 --> 00:54:31.960 NBA championship by the prognosticators in Vegas, I don't know 1159 00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:33.840 what they are, but I'll guarantee you they're not even 1160 00:54:33.880 --> 00:54:35.440 in the top five, even as the two seed in 1161 00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:35.760 the West. 1162 00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:39.119 I guarantee it. Somebody below them where they're seeded is 1163 00:54:39.159 --> 00:54:40.920 going to have better odds to win a championship than 1164 00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:43.199 they are. Doesn't mean a hill of beans, because guess 1165 00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:44.880 what Vegas doesn't get to play the game, and either 1166 00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:47.360 do you and I they do, so they're just the 1167 00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:50.239 they're just basically the Astros are going through these last 1168 00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:52.880 few yars what the Astros went through before they got good. 1169 00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:55.320 Now they're at the two seed, and I think they've 1170 00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:57.679 arrived sooner than we expected, to be honest with you, 1171 00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:00.119 So now what do you do it? 1172 00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:00.280 Now? 1173 00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:02.360 It's not cutting time after these three games. Now it's 1174 00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:05.320 playoff time, which in essence becomes single elimination. Because I 1175 00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:07.119 just approached every game you want to win because you 1176 00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:08.920 don't want to be the one that's one game away 1177 00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:10.400 from being out. You want to be the one that's 1178 00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:14.719 one game away from moving on. So that I love it, 1179 00:55:14.960 --> 00:55:17.119 and I love the fact that maybe they're a bit premature, 1180 00:55:17.159 --> 00:55:18.079 a little year early. 1181 00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:19.440 Good. 1182 00:55:20.039 --> 00:55:21.760 Hopefully they'll go win it and do their thing. If 1183 00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:24.320 they don't, great experience and growth long and they don't 1184 00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:25.840 want to hear that right now, but from a distance, 1185 00:55:25.880 --> 00:55:28.000 no matter what happens, And I don't ever like to 1186 00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:32.000 say athletes are on house money. Screw house money, how 1187 00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:35.480 cause guess what, we're never sure when you're got Marino. 1188 00:55:35.599 --> 00:55:39.480 Dan Marino told me a handful of years ago. I said, 1189 00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:42.119 we were talking about his appearance in nineteen eighty four 1190 00:55:42.679 --> 00:55:45.199 in a Super Bowl. Year two off the chow was 1191 00:55:45.239 --> 00:55:48.880 at eighty four eighty three. Dan was a rookie in 1192 00:55:48.920 --> 00:55:50.679 eighty three, so I think it was year two in 1193 00:55:50.719 --> 00:55:52.559 the league. They got beat by the forty nine ers 1194 00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:54.679 and a Super I think a year two was eighty 1195 00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:57.280 four is when he threw for like five thousand yards 1196 00:55:57.320 --> 00:55:59.880 and Marino forty some touchdowns, well ahead of his time. 1197 00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:04.440 Dan told me years later, he said, Sean, you know 1198 00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:06.559 what I expected to play, And after that loss, he 1199 00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:09.639 said not, I hated losing. He's one of the fiercest 1200 00:56:09.639 --> 00:56:12.519 competitors I've ever been around in my friggin life. He 1201 00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:14.599 will cut your heart out, feed it to you on 1202 00:56:14.679 --> 00:56:16.760 a platter, and smile at you while he's choking you 1203 00:56:16.840 --> 00:56:19.280 out with his foot. That's Dan. And we had a 1204 00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:21.800 conversation and he was open with it, and he said, Sean, 1205 00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:24.480 I thought I'd go to four or five more. Happened 1206 00:56:24.480 --> 00:56:26.320 so early in his career. He never saw it again, 1207 00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:30.199 and he did he was still. I mean those kinds 1208 00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:32.239 of things bug, because if Marino goes and wins the 1209 00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:35.719 Super Bowl's people are putting him in Mount Rushmore. The 1210 00:56:35.800 --> 00:56:37.559 only thing that's keeping him out is the ring because 1211 00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:39.559 he could throw it better than anybody we've ever had. Right, 1212 00:56:39.920 --> 00:56:42.679 that guy was awesome, so but that he's still he 1213 00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:45.480 suffered from me to bothered him, and so these are 1214 00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:48.679 hard to get to men. So screw when I all 1215 00:56:48.719 --> 00:56:51.199 there on how screw house money? Just because this is 1216 00:56:51.239 --> 00:56:52.960 a young team. What did this team gets split apart 1217 00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:54.719 and somebody wants to go and all of a sudden, 1218 00:56:55.039 --> 00:56:57.519 somebody gets an attitude problem and you're right back where 1219 00:56:57.559 --> 00:57:00.280 he started. Now, we don't want that to have happened, 1220 00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:03.880 but they are hard to get to, So ain't no 1221 00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:05.440 house man. They should have the idea that we're going 1222 00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:08.360 to win that damn thing this year. If they don't, 1223 00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:11.559 my point is the experience you get from either getting 1224 00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:16.159 your ass kicked or moving through rounds is immeasurable for 1225 00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:18.760 their future one way or the other. And how you 1226 00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:21.440 deal with it is going to be on Udoka and 1227 00:57:21.559 --> 00:57:24.599 the maturity of the team. But I'm telling you there's 1228 00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:26.199 not a solo live that thought they were going to 1229 00:57:26.199 --> 00:57:27.760 be the two seed when this season started, and you 1230 00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:28.639 and I both. 1231 00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:32.079 Know it now definitely exceeded expectations. No doubt about it 1232 00:57:32.119 --> 00:57:34.039 all right, coming up next, Sean, I'm gonna give you 1233 00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:36.920 a choice again today at seven fifteen, and it's gonna 1234 00:57:36.920 --> 00:57:39.360 be a tough one for you. I guarantee that's coming 1235 00:57:39.440 --> 00:57:42.000 up right here, Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven ninety. 1236 00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:45.119 Hey, my guys at Country Boys Roof and Country Boys John, John, 1237 00:57:45.280 --> 00:57:49.119 Zach and Connor.

All Right, Sean has promised, I'm gonna give 1279 01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:36.880 you two choices here. I'm gonna give you a swingers 1280 01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:40.639 club against a church or a Florida man arrested for 1281 01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:44.280 throwing pe at people over a declined job interview. 1282 01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:48.559 Which one do you want? I'm gonna say, anytime you 1283 01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:51.519 can weave urine on, somebody's a good thing. But you 1284 01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:54.880 can ask a question on both. And let's see where 1285 01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:57.000 the energy is from all of us. What we think 1286 01:00:57.159 --> 01:01:01.119 is more either hilarious or fits on both? All right, quick. 1287 01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:04.199 Summary on both. So, a swingers club in Connecticut is 1288 01:01:05.079 --> 01:01:08.559 being asked to shut down operations because they're right down 1289 01:01:08.559 --> 01:01:11.840 the street from a Baptist church, and the owner tells 1290 01:01:12.159 --> 01:01:16.239 a Facebook page and an open letter that this is 1291 01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:19.679 about the pastor of the church having a friendship with 1292 01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:23.440 the mayor of the town. And the cops were called 1293 01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:25.719 out to this place once, and one of the police 1294 01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:28.719 officers telling the Bristol newspaper it's, you know, a bunch 1295 01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:31.320 of consenting adults doing their own thing. As for the 1296 01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:35.119 other guy, a guy in Florida, funny enough, you know, 1297 01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:37.679 it seems like it always happens here. One of the 1298 01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:41.199 job at a door distributor, and he applied for the 1299 01:01:41.320 --> 01:01:42.920 job and then tried to get a job interview and 1300 01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:45.159 they said no. Well then he showed back up with 1301 01:01:45.320 --> 01:01:47.840 bottles of urine and said, here, why don't you eat these? 1302 01:01:49.480 --> 01:01:53.880 Can you eat a bottle of urine? You know, like 1303 01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:56.840 you know in throwing in sports, you know, eat this, 1304 01:01:57.199 --> 01:01:59.559 you know, or eat or eat it? Yeah, you know, 1305 01:01:59.679 --> 01:02:01.960 don't the ball. Yeah, when you say suck it, you're 1306 01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:04.599 not referring to suck it. Could be anything, right, Yeah, 1307 01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:06.199 I got you know what I'm saying. Oh I know, 1308 01:02:06.719 --> 01:02:09.400 oh man, sucky side they suck or socket? Yeah, yeah, 1309 01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:12.480 all right, So eat this or or drink this. I 1310 01:02:12.599 --> 01:02:16.679 would I kind of like both. So when you don't 1311 01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:18.480 get the job or don't get the interview, that's what 1312 01:02:18.599 --> 01:02:20.840 we do now, instead of go back to work and 1313 01:02:20.880 --> 01:02:22.920 try to and apply it four hundred other places, which 1314 01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:23.840 most of the world had to do. 1315 01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:26.639 I've said this for the longest time now, Sean, that 1316 01:02:27.119 --> 01:02:30.960 there is going to be a landmark lawsuit because some 1317 01:02:31.159 --> 01:02:34.039 kid coming out of college is going to have applied 1318 01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:36.519 for a job and not even gotten an interview, and 1319 01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:39.440 it's going to be you know, oh, well they have 1320 01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:40.320 to give me an interview. 1321 01:02:40.440 --> 01:02:43.000 No they don't, that's up to them. Well I don't 1322 01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:44.840 have to do anything. I don't have to do any 1323 01:02:44.920 --> 01:02:47.519 of that. But the entitlement is, oh, I walk through 1324 01:02:47.519 --> 01:02:49.960 the doors, I deserve an interview. Well maybe there's fifteen 1325 01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:51.920 other people that deserve it more than you, So I 1326 01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:55.039 don't pay attention. But right then and there he is 1327 01:02:55.159 --> 01:02:59.280 now put out there that you wouldn't hire him anyway 1328 01:02:59.280 --> 01:03:03.119 because the second goes wrong at work. This is your problem, child, 1329 01:03:03.320 --> 01:03:06.280 hence why people may not give him any more interviews. 1330 01:03:06.360 --> 01:03:10.199 You get my point. It becomes a cyclical thing, just constant, 1331 01:03:10.360 --> 01:03:12.239 where oh I didn't get the interview. So let me 1332 01:03:12.320 --> 01:03:14.159 drive it. Let me throw some pea on you. So 1333 01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:16.199 what happens at work when he doesn't get the pay raise? 1334 01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:20.400 What's next? Then drops trow and there on a trash 1335 01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:23.719 can in the boss's office, or then what's after that? 1336 01:03:23.960 --> 01:03:25.840 Then the next thing, and before you know it, you 1337 01:03:25.960 --> 01:03:27.719 have to get rid of him anyway, So save yourself 1338 01:03:27.760 --> 01:03:28.719 the trouble and don't hire his. 1339 01:03:28.920 --> 01:03:31.679 Well, it wasn't there like somewhere like on school grounds. 1340 01:03:31.719 --> 01:03:34.199 In this one place there was a cereal pooper and 1341 01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:36.960 people were like, oh my god, no, But then they 1342 01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:39.920 found out it was like the principle of the vice principle. 1343 01:03:39.559 --> 01:03:42.119 That was doing it. Yeah, the old sneak attack. How's 1344 01:03:42.159 --> 01:03:45.000 that grab you? And then we got a we got 1345 01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:50.760 a swingers club or group that is next to a church. Yeah, 1346 01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:55.480 it's next to the Riverside listen, Baptist church. If you're 1347 01:03:55.639 --> 01:03:59.440 if you're deep into the gospel and you're you're God 1348 01:03:59.519 --> 01:04:02.639 fearing for you shouldn't have to worry about the temptation 1349 01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:05.280 of the strip club next door. Handle your bit. A 1350 01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:06.840 matter of fact, here's why you should look at it. 1351 01:04:07.719 --> 01:04:10.519 I'm being a good example because when I walk, well 1352 01:04:10.559 --> 01:04:14.519 that it's going to be the perfect the perfect phrase 1353 01:04:14.559 --> 01:04:17.039 when they say, oh man, I'm sweating like a like 1354 01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:20.559 a like a slut in church. Right, So now the salvation, 1355 01:04:20.679 --> 01:04:22.199 So I now have it. You walk out of your 1356 01:04:22.320 --> 01:04:25.079 freak you walk out of your freak show, and you're 1357 01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:28.400 you're were you're you're banging your best friend's girls, brother's 1358 01:04:28.519 --> 01:04:31.519 husband's friend. And in what in that what a swingers 1359 01:04:31.559 --> 01:04:35.239 club is? You're you're you're you're making sorry making love 1360 01:04:36.119 --> 01:04:38.880 to your friends with your best friend's husband or something. 1361 01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:41.480 Then you could walk right out of church and go 1362 01:04:41.639 --> 01:04:47.039 repent everybody. Right, So here's how you look at it. 1363 01:04:47.079 --> 01:04:50.519 If you're a true, deep, humble, god fearing person, you're 1364 01:04:50.559 --> 01:04:53.519 the pastor or the church, you say, we welcome everybody. 1365 01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:58.280 We we welcome in. We don't judge anybody, because if 1366 01:04:58.280 --> 01:05:00.639 I'm judging the people who are banging each other next door, 1367 01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:03.239 am I truly God? There's a spirit of the Lord 1368 01:05:03.320 --> 01:05:05.639 with me. I mean there's places in this city we 1369 01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:09.400 don't have zoning. You go elementary school, wine bar, a 1370 01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:13.400 liquor store, strip club, in a Mexican restaurant, bingo bango 1371 01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:14.719 bongo right there. You get them all. 1372 01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:16.440 So I to me. 1373 01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:19.039 Now, I say it tongue in cheek and with a 1374 01:05:19.159 --> 01:05:22.800 little bit of hyperbole, but in truth, I'm a church. 1375 01:05:23.239 --> 01:05:25.280 You guys are doing your thing while we may not 1376 01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:28.039 like it. I'm gonna be true love and you guys 1377 01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:30.440 do your thing and if something's wrong, they'll take care 1378 01:05:30.440 --> 01:05:33.639 of it. We're we're church and we don't judge. So listen. 1379 01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:36.039 And if you're in, if you're into the swinging thing 1380 01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:38.800 and you pick the wrong partner, just go next door 1381 01:05:38.800 --> 01:05:40.519 and repent to the Good Lord and tell them you're sorry. 1382 01:05:40.599 --> 01:05:41.880 Don't you feel like that club's like? 1383 01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:45.079 Don't you feel don't you feel like clubs like this 1384 01:05:45.199 --> 01:05:47.719 are literally like fight club or like, you know whatever, 1385 01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:50.320 anonymous like you know, the whole point of it is, 1386 01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:52.039 people are supposed to remain anonymous. 1387 01:05:52.239 --> 01:05:52.360 You know. 1388 01:05:52.440 --> 01:05:54.159 It's one of those like, Hey, that's Tim. Hey do 1389 01:05:54.199 --> 01:05:56.880 you know that Tim's a swinger? Like you can't have 1390 01:05:57.000 --> 01:05:58.039 that following you around. 1391 01:05:58.079 --> 01:06:01.920 We shouldn't church be treated like uh, shouldn't church be 1392 01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:05.119 treated like Hippa did? If you see somebody walking out 1393 01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:07.840 of the swingers club, but let them deal with their 1394 01:06:07.840 --> 01:06:10.000 own issues. You see somebody walk on the Trip Strippers 1395 01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:11.639 club and you're stand outside on the front steps of 1396 01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:15.159 your church and you see him. It's like, hey, Steve, 1397 01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:19.519 Hey Janet. Yeah, I mean, but if you're truly in 1398 01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:23.400 the spirit of the Lord, okay, you accept them with 1399 01:06:23.480 --> 01:06:25.840 open arms.

Isn't that the spirit of the Lord. 1411 01:06:58.159 --> 01:07:02.920 Isn't that the spirit? Tell me? Do you don't judge 1412 01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:05.800 anybody at our church? You walk in and they're mad 1413 01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:07.559 at you as you were begging somebody else. 1414 01:07:07.840 --> 01:07:11.480 That's church as a whole right here, right, you said, 1415 01:07:11.519 --> 01:07:14.119 Steve and Janet, Well, because you know you're talking with 1416 01:07:14.199 --> 01:07:16.079 another couple or somebody you know, Hey, Steve. 1417 01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:18.119 Hey Janet.

If you're a Catholic church, 1439 01:08:25.640 --> 01:08:27.520 you'd have some of the you know, the Catholic ladies 1440 01:08:27.640 --> 01:08:30.399 spitting on the ground. Disgusting.

That's on them to decide. Then 1452 01:08:54.439 --> 01:08:55.840 you can come in and repent to me. But I'm 1453 01:08:55.880 --> 01:08:57.800 not going to be the pastor in anybody's church.

That's painting happy. 1491 01:10:39.479 --> 01:10:40.199 I had to live that. 1492 01:10:40.680 --> 01:10:47.319 But the Shawn Salsbury shown is that fair to say, oh, 1493 01:10:47.960 --> 01:10:50.039 now the player to Ben and later sometimes comes out 1494 01:10:50.039 --> 01:10:52.000 to be a pretty good player. It's rare, right, I mean? 1495 01:10:52.119 --> 01:10:54.399 Or is it the dominant player? But is that a 1496 01:10:55.319 --> 01:10:57.520 is that the worst? Like like twenty years later when 1497 01:10:57.520 --> 01:10:59.239 they go, hey, what did you get traded for a 1498 01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:01.000 player to be named later? Well, I mean you can 1499 01:11:01.039 --> 01:11:03.319 get crash Davis out of it, right, remember that? What 1500 01:11:03.399 --> 01:11:05.479 are you doing here? I'm the player to be named later. 1501 01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:10.399 Good thing, yeah, good leader, but maybe not raking like 1502 01:11:10.479 --> 01:11:12.199 he'd want him to. But he's catcher, so we're good. 1503 01:11:12.279 --> 01:11:14.239 So we're at that stress because she's wearing a dress. 1504 01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:17.479 Come on, then there you go poise under pressure. But 1505 01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:21.159 I always wonder, like, when you leave and you're hung 1506 01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:23.159 on the plane in your new destination, do you feel 1507 01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:25.720 disrespected because you got traded for a player to be 1508 01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:30.399 named later It wasn't even worthy of getting you somebody now, Oh, well, 1509 01:11:30.399 --> 01:11:31.600 I don't know who it's going to be, but it's 1510 01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:32.920 a player to me much we'll get back to you 1511 01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:36.560 feel like that's even worse. What'd you trade him for? Well, 1512 01:11:36.600 --> 01:11:39.119 an apple and a roadmap or a bullet and a cigarette. 1513 01:11:39.479 --> 01:11:42.199 What'd you trading for, well, the seventh round pick in 1514 01:11:42.279 --> 01:11:45.000 twenty thirty, you know what I'm saying. So I'm just 1515 01:11:45.159 --> 01:11:50.479 wondering if and I mean this joking because I think 1516 01:11:50.600 --> 01:11:53.760 Montero hopefully it'll he can get back to the reason 1517 01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:56.039 he got the big money the year before he got 1518 01:11:56.079 --> 01:11:57.720 the big money here, that he can get back to 1519 01:11:57.800 --> 01:11:59.880 being that guy in Atlanta. That'd be great for him. 1520 01:12:00.039 --> 01:12:02.880 Obviously with Dana's relationship there, I'm sure they had some 1521 01:12:02.960 --> 01:12:06.319 banter over, but the player to be named later almost 1522 01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:09.840 feels like we were giving you away. That's almost the 1523 01:12:09.880 --> 01:12:11.640 way I feel. And in this case because they're taking 1524 01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:14.439 on salary to correct, yes, they're given cash with my 1525 01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:18.000 paying for part of it. So with that, that's exactly right. 1526 01:12:18.159 --> 01:12:23.399 So basically that's what this is. The value. If the 1527 01:12:23.439 --> 01:12:25.199 player to be a later ends up being an asset 1528 01:12:25.239 --> 01:12:27.880 for you to use someone else's player, great, but it's 1529 01:12:27.920 --> 01:12:30.079 almost as if you gave Montero way. And the truth 1530 01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:35.880 of the matter is the return wasn't important. Getting clearing 1531 01:12:35.960 --> 01:12:38.800 way for somebody else was and I and it started 1532 01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:41.079 off with me joking around like Manna, you got traded 1533 01:12:41.119 --> 01:12:43.399 for the player to be named later. That almost feels 1534 01:12:43.439 --> 01:12:46.119 like there wasn't a lot of value placed on that one, 1535 01:12:46.239 --> 01:12:49.680 was it? And in truth there's not. So hopefully it 1536 01:12:49.680 --> 01:12:51.560 works out for him, root for anybody that goes on 1537 01:12:51.680 --> 01:12:54.600 and is still competing, But it was probably it was 1538 01:12:54.680 --> 01:12:57.039 probably time I got an idea here. It's kind of goofy, 1539 01:12:57.079 --> 01:12:59.319 but stick with me. You're going to say something, goofy. 1540 01:12:59.680 --> 01:13:02.000 That's a day that ends and why But what if 1541 01:13:02.079 --> 01:13:05.239 the player kind of like masked singer style. We like 1542 01:13:05.399 --> 01:13:08.159 dress them in like a huge you know, question mark 1543 01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:12.000 and it's who could it be? Oh, I'd like that? 1544 01:13:12.199 --> 01:13:13.840 Or like you know what's behind door number one, two 1545 01:13:13.920 --> 01:13:14.880 or three? Was that prices? 1546 01:13:14.960 --> 01:13:15.079 Right? 1547 01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:18.079 Yeah? Where you say, or let's make a deal, remember 1548 01:13:18.119 --> 01:13:20.720 the doors behind the deals? Or like gladiators, right, maybe 1549 01:13:20.760 --> 01:13:22.520 you don't have a clean path. Maybe it's gonna be 1550 01:13:22.520 --> 01:13:24.680 a gladiator with the tackling pad. The player to be 1551 01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:27.439 named later should be. It's like when you order clothing 1552 01:13:27.680 --> 01:13:29.520 like I I'll order some golf clothing or shirts and 1553 01:13:29.520 --> 01:13:32.319 they'll say, you get the mystery box. Oh, so you'll 1554 01:13:32.439 --> 01:13:35.479 order something from like Grunk Dolfer, Great Clothing, like by 1555 01:13:35.520 --> 01:13:38.720 the way, just you know, just I digress with Great 1556 01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:42.000 and we're going there awesome stuff and you go in 1557 01:13:42.000 --> 01:13:45.039 there and they say, oh, well you get a mystery box. 1558 01:13:45.079 --> 01:13:47.600 So maybe it comes with a golf hat, another golf 1559 01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:50.119 shirt or maybe a belt, right, they get your sizes, 1560 01:13:50.359 --> 01:13:52.000 So the mystery I think that's what we should start. 1561 01:13:52.039 --> 01:13:54.000 Whenever there's a player to be named later trade or 1562 01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:55.800 you're not sure who the next guy is going to be, 1563 01:13:56.439 --> 01:13:57.680 you got to put him in a thing and they 1564 01:13:57.760 --> 01:13:59.920 got to choose like straws like we used to do 1565 01:14:00.359 --> 01:14:02.439 who's hitting first? Or when you're playing ball, who do 1566 01:14:02.479 --> 01:14:04.399 you get to pick? You get first, pick right, like 1567 01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:06.239 we would do for the master's thing. You draw the 1568 01:14:06.279 --> 01:14:07.479 short straw, so you go second. 1569 01:14:08.039 --> 01:14:08.159 Right. 1570 01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:10.800 So if you get the big straw, so I think 1571 01:14:10.840 --> 01:14:14.199 we put him behind, and you may discover something kind 1572 01:14:14.199 --> 01:14:16.159 of like an expansion draft to put him behind, and 1573 01:14:16.199 --> 01:14:18.039 say I want door number one, and if door number 1574 01:14:18.039 --> 01:14:19.600 one happens to be a dog, well, then the dog 1575 01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:21.840 becomes your mascot. That's who you're traded for. If it 1576 01:14:21.920 --> 01:14:24.399 happens to be well, Ronald Lacuna is behind door number 1577 01:14:24.439 --> 01:14:27.359 two or door number three, well god bless you, but 1578 01:14:27.479 --> 01:14:30.840 you have to put a player a non player, and 1579 01:14:31.119 --> 01:14:33.680 like cash or a dud gift in the third one. Right, 1580 01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:36.600 I'll take the dog. I'm good with that, the dud gift, 1581 01:14:36.760 --> 01:14:38.279 so put it behind so the player to be that. There, 1582 01:14:38.359 --> 01:14:40.960 we had a little They want all the gimmicks and sports. 1583 01:14:41.359 --> 01:14:43.239 Let's add that I'm trading for a player to be 1584 01:14:43.279 --> 01:14:45.000 a named later. Cool. Well, here's how we do it. 1585 01:14:45.079 --> 01:14:47.560 Whenever that is mentioned in the contract, you get a 1586 01:14:47.680 --> 01:14:51.439 gag gift a player that's got to be. Let's say 1587 01:14:51.439 --> 01:14:54.199 he's got to be a player that's making eight million 1588 01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:57.520 or more and then you got to give up on 1589 01:14:57.560 --> 01:14:59.159 your right. You can't protect him. And let now he 1590 01:14:59.199 --> 01:15:01.920 comes back to your and he doesn't even know he's unprotected. 1591 01:15:02.359 --> 01:15:05.000 He's just behind door number two and door number three 1592 01:15:05.079 --> 01:15:08.000 is like a mascot animal that comes to your clubhouses. 1593 01:15:08.840 --> 01:15:11.279 You pick one and whatever one you get, that's the 1594 01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:13.119 player to be named later for the guy you gave up. 1595 01:15:13.319 --> 01:15:15.359 It's just add another gimmick to pro sports. We've got 1596 01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:17.880 plenty of them. It's another baseball movie, Major League two. 1597 01:15:18.119 --> 01:15:20.119 I got you in the outfielder from the Giants, really 1598 01:15:20.479 --> 01:15:24.119 not those Giants. Yeah, there you go, There you go. 1599 01:15:24.880 --> 01:15:27.079 And we do need to discuss though that's part of 1600 01:15:27.119 --> 01:15:29.239 this as we joke, but serious. It'd be kind of 1601 01:15:29.239 --> 01:15:30.840 fun if we're gonna ad gimmick. Let's ad a trade 1602 01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:33.840 gimmick to it. Did you see how the Denver Nuggets 1603 01:15:33.840 --> 01:15:36.880 did Mike Malone? It's dirty. It goes back to player empowerment, 1604 01:15:37.640 --> 01:15:40.520 the pascification of this stuff. What because he coaches you 1605 01:15:40.560 --> 01:15:42.680 hard and says it's bs. They don't watch tape or anything, 1606 01:15:42.720 --> 01:15:45.920 and people can't handle tough coaching, the general manager, the 1607 01:15:45.960 --> 01:15:48.079 coach gone. And I know they've struggled down the stretch. 1608 01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:51.199 I got news for you. They're still NBA capable, champion 1609 01:15:51.279 --> 01:15:53.359 capable with the best player in the world on their team. 1610 01:15:54.920 --> 01:15:56.720 Were getting rid of coaches. We get rid of coaches 1611 01:15:56.720 --> 01:15:59.600 way too quick in this league. Mike Malone's a winner. 1612 01:16:00.680 --> 01:16:04.079 It's a perfect case in point that player. What do 1613 01:16:04.159 --> 01:16:06.840 we call player empowerment, as I said on Twitter yesterday, 1614 01:16:07.239 --> 01:16:11.039 is just another phrase for player pussification. Is that you 1615 01:16:11.119 --> 01:16:14.600 get to run the show. And a team that's winning, 1616 01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:18.239 they're two years removed from an NBA championship victory with 1617 01:16:18.359 --> 01:16:20.760 a ring on their finger, and the dude's out because 1618 01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:22.720 a player or too might not like the way he 1619 01:16:22.880 --> 01:16:25.159 calls him out because they don't study, or said some 1620 01:16:25.319 --> 01:16:26.800 of them are full of you know what, And he 1621 01:16:26.920 --> 01:16:30.520 said it because Mike Malone coaches tough. And here's the 1622 01:16:30.520 --> 01:16:34.239 biggest problem in society. Don't let our kids fail and coaches. 1623 01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:37.720 If a coach is tough, he's a bad guy. We 1624 01:16:37.840 --> 01:16:40.279 can't have him around. If a coach is soft, well, 1625 01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:42.760 he's perfect for us, but he's not making our kids 1626 01:16:42.960 --> 01:16:45.319 or the citizens that are going to be the kids 1627 01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:46.920 becomes to this, most of them an't going to sniff 1628 01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:49.760 pro sports. We don't have enough of it, and when 1629 01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:51.560 we do get one, people are so offended. In player 1630 01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:53.359 powerment gets to run a guy out of the building. 1631 01:16:53.800 --> 01:16:55.840 This is just deeper than wins and losses. It's either 1632 01:16:55.880 --> 01:16:58.159 the player's pissed or the front office just said you've 1633 01:16:58.199 --> 01:16:59.680 lost for in a row. I don't like the optics. 1634 01:16:59.680 --> 01:17:03.239 You're out that somebody in social media got him riled 1635 01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:05.760 up because they're losing. Mike Malone should have a job 1636 01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:09.399 tomorrow as a coach. Tough loves a little too much 1637 01:17:09.439 --> 01:17:11.960 for some to handle, and we have pussified all of 1638 01:17:12.039 --> 01:17:15.960 it way too often and it exists. Now, when are 1639 01:17:16.039 --> 01:17:18.680 we getting rid of a guy who's been a while 1640 01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:22.640 harsh at times? And we've seen guys like this in 1641 01:17:22.760 --> 01:17:26.239 the nineties eighties. Mike Malone would be a twenty million 1642 01:17:26.239 --> 01:17:28.039 dollars a year coach. I'm talking about if you paid 1643 01:17:28.079 --> 01:17:30.800 him like you Because those guys can handle it. I'm 1644 01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:33.199 not saying the players can't. But we've created this empowerment 1645 01:17:33.279 --> 01:17:37.239 where the second coach says, criticizes you. It's personal. Now 1646 01:17:37.279 --> 01:17:39.800 you got to get him out or the front office. 1647 01:17:40.159 --> 01:17:42.880 Horrible that the Denver Nuggers would do that. Nuggets would 1648 01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:44.840 do that, not nuggers. That's what you get on the 1649 01:17:44.840 --> 01:17:47.359 top of Is that a nugger when you get a nuggie? 1650 01:17:47.399 --> 01:17:51.920 There you go. But the Denver Nuggets would it would 1651 01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:55.439 be fitting if they were an early out fitting. It 1652 01:17:55.479 --> 01:17:58.720 seems like they're trending there. It's just I can't believe 1653 01:17:59.520 --> 01:18:03.199 that a guy who coaches hard and coaches tough his 1654 01:18:03.560 --> 01:18:07.439 is run out just like that. Because of his personality 1655 01:18:07.560 --> 01:18:09.439 of that, he's a little harsher on people. 1656 01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:11.399 Especially after he said what he said about Mike Brown 1657 01:18:11.479 --> 01:18:14.880 getting fired in Sacramento. No class, no, you know whats Yeah, 1658 01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:17.840 And he the thing I love about him, he's our 1659 01:18:17.920 --> 01:18:20.319 type of guy because he's gonna tell like it is. 1660 01:18:20.439 --> 01:18:21.880 It may not always be what you want to hear, 1661 01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:23.840 but it sure is what most need to hear. Yeah. 1662 01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:26.800 Well, sometimes you need those people and you realize it 1663 01:18:26.880 --> 01:18:29.119 later on in life. All right, Tommy, Andy Brandon, see 1664 01:18:29.119 --> 01:18:31.680 you guys right there.

Life role 1963 01:31:46.560 --> 01:31:48.239 on the side of the refrigerator, we got it for you. 1964 01:31:48.600 --> 01:31:50.560 Andy wants to wait in here? Andy, what's going on? 1965 01:31:52.000 --> 01:31:54.319 Let's talk two things we all talked about this morning. 1966 01:31:54.399 --> 01:31:56.399 Hatter and hater or whatever. 1967 01:31:56.560 --> 01:32:01.960 And uh, Dana Brown, Look, Dana Brown, if we're gonna 1968 01:32:01.960 --> 01:32:05.079 give bagwell crap for bringing a bradw here after he 1969 01:32:05.359 --> 01:32:08.319 his career was slowing down the years before he got here, 1970 01:32:09.239 --> 01:32:12.640 and then same thing with when he signed gave Montario 1971 01:32:12.800 --> 01:32:16.079 that big payday after he had that one good year 1972 01:32:16.680 --> 01:32:19.039 compared to the three or four years in the last 1973 01:32:19.159 --> 01:32:22.720 five years that he was not good at all. We 1974 01:32:22.840 --> 01:32:26.159 got to do the same thing with Dana Brown because Patter, look, 1975 01:32:26.239 --> 01:32:29.000 in twenty twenty he was had a three seventy nine ERA. 1976 01:32:29.720 --> 01:32:31.920 In twenty twenty two he had a five to twenty two. 1977 01:32:31.920 --> 01:32:34.840 ERA, and last year he had a three eighty e ER. 1978 01:32:35.600 --> 01:32:38.000 He's the number two highest paid closer in the league. 1979 01:32:38.479 --> 01:32:39.880 He can't do that now. 1980 01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:42.800 Twenty one and twenty three he was at one twenty 1981 01:32:42.880 --> 01:32:44.640 three and one eight ERA. 1982 01:32:45.199 --> 01:32:46.079 He was lights out. 1983 01:32:46.920 --> 01:32:48.039 But you don't pay him. 1984 01:32:48.119 --> 01:32:49.199 You don't bring a guy in. 1985 01:32:50.159 --> 01:32:54.359 Who every other year in the last five years he's produced. 1986 01:32:55.119 --> 01:32:58.600 You don't pay him like the second highest paid player 1987 01:32:58.680 --> 01:33:02.920 at the position for that kind of production. So for 1988 01:33:03.079 --> 01:33:06.720 Haddner to for for the Hatter signing to be good, 1989 01:33:07.560 --> 01:33:09.279 he has to do this three years in a row. 1990 01:33:09.399 --> 01:33:11.960 He has to be lights out three years in a 1991 01:33:12.039 --> 01:33:15.760 row from what he did last year. Now and then 1992 01:33:15.880 --> 01:33:19.960 now look at look what look at our outfield now, Sean, 1993 01:33:20.279 --> 01:33:23.119 I'm pretty sure you were hoping they were gonna grab 1994 01:33:23.359 --> 01:33:25.720 an outfielder this year, right, and and there's no way 1995 01:33:26.600 --> 01:33:28.680 that they thought camp Smith was going to make this 1996 01:33:28.840 --> 01:33:30.880 team and be the starting right field. 1997 01:33:31.000 --> 01:33:31.159 Yeah. 1998 01:33:31.199 --> 01:33:34.439 When spring training started, I mean, you know, you want 1999 01:33:34.479 --> 01:33:35.960 to see how good he is and say, oh, he'll 2000 01:33:35.960 --> 01:33:38.159 start in Triple A and we'll see. And then he 2001 01:33:38.199 --> 01:33:40.479 played so well and there was an opening out there 2002 01:33:40.479 --> 01:33:42.880 because you didn't have a great outfield and put him in. 2003 01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:43.920 And I think he's going to be a hell of 2004 01:33:43.960 --> 01:33:45.680 a player. But there's no I've been begging for an 2005 01:33:45.680 --> 01:33:49.199 outfielder for two straight years, an outfielder with pop, there's 2006 01:33:49.239 --> 01:33:51.319 no doubt. Yeah, but the other team's got to be 2007 01:33:51.359 --> 01:33:53.239 willing to play, and you got to be willing to 2008 01:33:53.279 --> 01:33:54.159 pay as well. Yeah. 2009 01:33:55.520 --> 01:33:58.800 And Myers, I mean, if Myers was the answer. Hell, 2010 01:33:59.000 --> 01:34:02.239 his last two and six sixty games, his batting average 2011 01:34:02.359 --> 01:34:06.000 was two twenty three, his OPS was six sixty in 2012 01:34:06.239 --> 01:34:11.760 two hundred and sixty games. There's no way going into 2013 01:34:11.800 --> 01:34:14.479 this season that you should have had him plug down 2014 01:34:14.520 --> 01:34:15.279 at center field. 2015 01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:16.640 There's no way. 2016 01:34:18.039 --> 01:34:23.399 So David Brown has got some holes that he hasn't field, and. 2017 01:34:24.920 --> 01:34:26.399 It's it's starting to show. 2018 01:34:26.479 --> 01:34:28.760 And and and I don't know the split, but your 2019 01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:32.800 color earlier said that Albarez hits better in the field well, 2020 01:34:33.359 --> 01:34:35.520 they should have been grooming him to play first if 2021 01:34:35.520 --> 01:34:38.000 they were outfold yet. 2022 01:34:38.159 --> 01:34:41.159 Yet it's not gonna happen. Andy, It's not like if 2023 01:34:41.199 --> 01:34:43.199 he's this far along in his career, it's not going 2024 01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:43.640 to happen. 2025 01:34:44.239 --> 01:34:45.640 Right Wait, come out, Come out. 2026 01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:48.680 Where's al Tuba playing? Fine? 2027 01:34:48.960 --> 01:34:51.239 But he's not playing first base. That's all I'm telling you. 2028 01:34:51.399 --> 01:34:53.640 It's not going to happen. You have a guy there 2029 01:34:54.880 --> 01:34:56.239 that's not moving off first base. 2030 01:34:58.000 --> 01:35:01.039 Let field it's harder to play than first base. 2031 01:35:01.319 --> 01:35:04.600 I'm not disagreeing with you, but he's he's out in 2032 01:35:04.680 --> 01:35:05.079 left field. 2033 01:35:05.119 --> 01:35:06.800 He plays a good enough left field when they play him, 2034 01:35:06.800 --> 01:35:09.560 they play They play him at d H to preserve 2035 01:35:09.640 --> 01:35:10.079 his legs. 2036 01:35:10.159 --> 01:35:10.880 That's why they do it. 2037 01:35:12.439 --> 01:35:15.199 Well, you don't think preserving your legs at first base 2038 01:35:15.399 --> 01:35:16.760 first base you don't run. 2039 01:35:16.800 --> 01:35:18.960 I don't need a first basement. I don't need a 2040 01:35:19.000 --> 01:35:21.279 first baseman. I've got one for the next two years. 2041 01:35:21.279 --> 01:35:21.840 I've got one. 2042 01:35:22.960 --> 01:35:24.760 Yeah, you didn't have it before the year going. 2043 01:35:24.840 --> 01:35:26.199 They should have started growing him. 2044 01:35:26.319 --> 01:35:28.000 I don't worry about what I don't have when I 2045 01:35:28.079 --> 01:35:30.880 have it right there. I don't worry about hypotheticals. Andy, 2046 01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:35.439 appreciate the call. I mean he's not playing first base 2047 01:35:35.880 --> 01:35:38.439 like it's it's if it's as clear as I could 2048 01:35:38.439 --> 01:35:40.239 say it, and you know, not getting any more of 2049 01:35:40.279 --> 01:35:42.720 those calls. Jordan Avarez will never play first base for 2050 01:35:42.760 --> 01:35:44.479 the Houston Astros. Go ahead and get that out of 2051 01:35:44.479 --> 01:35:47.680 the way. And it's a health thing for him, that preserving. 2052 01:35:47.760 --> 01:35:50.520 But you're you're both right, he's never going to play 2053 01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:53.520 first base. But I think Andy's point is, I don't 2054 01:35:53.520 --> 01:35:56.319 think so much now that you've got Christian Walker. I 2055 01:35:56.439 --> 01:35:58.720 think going into it the last couple of years, when 2056 01:35:58.720 --> 01:36:01.119 it's been a position since he left, You're like, and 2057 01:36:01.199 --> 01:36:03.199 even when Yuli was getting older, you needed to find 2058 01:36:03.199 --> 01:36:05.560 the air apparent that he thought that maybe taking ground 2059 01:36:05.600 --> 01:36:07.159 balls if you were going to play him in the field, 2060 01:36:07.199 --> 01:36:08.640 and he wanted to play in the field and left 2061 01:36:08.640 --> 01:36:10.680 field wasn't going to be the option because of his legs, 2062 01:36:10.960 --> 01:36:12.960 you could still preserve him by putting him at first base. 2063 01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:15.239 It's not gonna happen now, but this has been this 2064 01:36:15.399 --> 01:36:18.199 is an age old conversation. Since Jordan's been league, we 2065 01:36:18.359 --> 01:36:21.199 have this feeling that big guy don't want him any 2066 01:36:21.199 --> 01:36:23.680 outfield DH first baseman. It got to the point where 2067 01:36:23.720 --> 01:36:27.680 Poppy never played any place, but dh right, but maybe 2068 01:36:28.079 --> 01:36:30.880 and Jordon's young enough. And you know, I get when 2069 01:36:30.920 --> 01:36:33.159 Andy says, so you can both be right that he's 2070 01:36:33.199 --> 01:36:35.079 not going to play first base. But I think Andy's 2071 01:36:35.079 --> 01:36:37.760 point is, when you didn't have a first baseman, the 2072 01:36:37.960 --> 01:36:40.159 natural progression you think for a big guy who you 2073 01:36:40.159 --> 01:36:42.399 want to preserve his health but loves to play the field, 2074 01:36:42.840 --> 01:36:45.359 would be first base. At this stage, that ship sailed, 2075 01:36:45.479 --> 01:36:47.520 so you both can be right it ain't happening. But 2076 01:36:47.680 --> 01:36:50.439 I get why thousands of people thought, well, why not 2077 01:36:50.640 --> 01:36:53.199 try to play him there? If you can move Altuve 2078 01:36:53.319 --> 01:36:56.000 to left field, you can move Jordan on to first base. 2079 01:36:56.079 --> 01:36:58.119 But at this stage of the game, his legs are 2080 01:36:58.159 --> 01:36:59.640 going to be more important. They would have gone out 2081 01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:01.960 and found the first basement, which they did well. And 2082 01:37:02.119 --> 01:37:03.720 to the point, you just brought up even more of 2083 01:37:03.760 --> 01:37:05.479 a reason why you would have tried it last year 2084 01:37:05.720 --> 01:37:08.159 because you didn't have a guy, because well, the one 2085 01:37:08.199 --> 01:37:10.520 guy you sunk the money into he was nothing and 2086 01:37:10.880 --> 01:37:12.720 you had to go with John Singleton over there. But 2087 01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:15.880 thirty four saves last year for Josh Hater tied for 2088 01:37:15.920 --> 01:37:18.520 fifth most in baseball, so not bad for having a 2089 01:37:18.600 --> 01:37:20.920 down year. And this year he's been pretty unheittable, no 2090 01:37:21.000 --> 01:37:24.600 doubt about it. All Right, the golf conversation a hangover, 2091 01:37:24.920 --> 01:37:27.840 somebody says, we'll talk about that right here Sean Salisbury Show. 2092 01:37:27.880 --> 01:37:30.720 Hey guys, let's scratch some dream vacations off our bucket list. 2093 01:37:30.800 --> 01:37:32.039 You want to do it, I'll do it with you. 2094 01:37:32.159 --> 01:37:34.760 Play three million dollar cash scratch tickets from the Texas 2095 01:37:34.840 --> 01:37:37.239 Lottery and you could enter a chance to win a 2096 01:37:37.319 --> 01:37:40.840 skycruise to Paris, Rome, Lisbon.

I don't see how you can make the 2116 01:38:45.560 --> 01:38:49.199 comparison of the Hater trade or the Hater acquisition. 2117 01:38:49.359 --> 01:38:52.720 And let's get his name right, it's Hater with a bray. 2118 01:38:54.000 --> 01:38:56.880 So Brady was already starting to fall off when we 2119 01:38:57.000 --> 01:38:59.399 got him, and we were hoping that he'd make that 2120 01:38:59.560 --> 01:39:02.880 climb back, but you know that didn't happen. Hater had 2121 01:39:02.920 --> 01:39:05.560 had two lights out seasons and yes, he did not 2122 01:39:05.960 --> 01:39:08.079 live up to those numbers last year, but we put 2123 01:39:08.159 --> 01:39:10.560 him in a lot of non safe situations. We had 2124 01:39:10.600 --> 01:39:12.319 a lot of times where we were asking him to 2125 01:39:12.359 --> 01:39:14.359 go out and get more than three outs, things that 2126 01:39:14.479 --> 01:39:17.760 he hadn't done as much before. And he's been strong 2127 01:39:17.840 --> 01:39:22.640 again this season. So I, you know, I don't understand 2128 01:39:22.720 --> 01:39:28.439 that uh frame of reference at all. Number two and 2129 01:39:28.600 --> 01:39:30.840 this is something a lot of scouts will tell you. 2130 01:39:30.920 --> 01:39:32.960 This is something Dana Brown will tell you. It is 2131 01:39:33.039 --> 01:39:37.279 a lot easier to transition an infielder to an outfielder 2132 01:39:38.600 --> 01:39:41.319 as opposed to the other way around. There are a 2133 01:39:41.399 --> 01:39:45.359 lot of intricacies to learning the infield, just situationally. You 2134 01:39:45.439 --> 01:39:46.840 know a first base, Am. 2135 01:39:46.760 --> 01:39:47.800 I holding on the runner? 2136 01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:47.960 Here? 2137 01:39:48.079 --> 01:39:50.279 Am I not holding on the runner? Am I covering 2138 01:39:50.399 --> 01:39:53.199 first base? Or am I am letting the second baseman 2139 01:39:53.279 --> 01:39:54.720 go to his left and get this? Or am I 2140 01:39:54.800 --> 01:39:57.319 feeling the ball? You know, there's a lot more to 2141 01:39:57.479 --> 01:40:01.079 learn to it. And DH saves your. 2142 01:40:01.079 --> 01:40:05.399 Legs more than playing period. So it's first base. 2143 01:40:05.479 --> 01:40:08.000 Yeah, you're not running around the outfield, but you're still 2144 01:40:08.119 --> 01:40:10.399 dhing is sitting on the bench. You're saving the legs. 2145 01:40:10.800 --> 01:40:13.920 Christian Walker was a great acquisition and he's got a 2146 01:40:14.039 --> 01:40:16.920 lot of the same characteristics as Jordon as far as 2147 01:40:16.960 --> 01:40:19.000 a batter, he's got a great eye at the plate 2148 01:40:19.279 --> 01:40:22.279 and he's got good power, even though the numbers haven't 2149 01:40:22.319 --> 01:40:24.920 shown it. As far as his production this year, the 2150 01:40:25.159 --> 01:40:29.159 number of hard hit balls is ridiculous, So he's going 2151 01:40:29.239 --> 01:40:31.760 to be coming through. It's just got to give it 2152 01:40:31.800 --> 01:40:33.680 a time because the hits and the swings are. 2153 01:40:33.600 --> 01:40:34.199 There right now. 2154 01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:37.800 Yeah, I appreciate the call, Sheena. I mean, you know Sean, 2155 01:40:38.119 --> 01:40:40.000 as we were talking about in the last segment, I mean, 2156 01:40:40.319 --> 01:40:43.680 if they had any desire whatsoever on either side, both 2157 01:40:43.760 --> 01:40:46.560 Jordan and the team, then he would have been there. 2158 01:40:46.720 --> 01:40:49.880 And I mean, you didn't have a first basement last year. 2159 01:40:50.039 --> 01:40:51.760 You were trying to put that thing together with duct 2160 01:40:51.760 --> 01:40:55.039 tape and bailing wire and eventually it led to John Singleton. 2161 01:40:55.359 --> 01:40:56.920 But the other part of it as well, the point 2162 01:40:57.000 --> 01:40:59.600 she brings up is incredibly valid. You're even hesitant to 2163 01:40:59.640 --> 01:41:02.399 play him mountain left field. So if that's the case already, 2164 01:41:02.479 --> 01:41:04.520 and you're already limiting the amount of time he's out there, 2165 01:41:04.880 --> 01:41:06.479 why would you put more on his plate in terms 2166 01:41:06.479 --> 01:41:07.039 of field work. 2167 01:41:07.399 --> 01:41:11.000 Well, you're not. And like I said, I understand Andy's point. 2168 01:41:11.079 --> 01:41:13.159 Sheena makes a very valid point as well about the 2169 01:41:13.199 --> 01:41:16.600 adjustment from one to the other, and I get it. Listen, 2170 01:41:16.720 --> 01:41:19.119 it all comes down to decisions, and it's not just 2171 01:41:19.359 --> 01:41:23.840 Dana Brown's decision to preserve Jordon Alvarez. They were way 2172 01:41:23.840 --> 01:41:26.039 ahead of that before Dana Brown even got here. He 2173 01:41:26.199 --> 01:41:28.720 was going to play. Now he's probably gonna play less 2174 01:41:28.920 --> 01:41:33.279 left field than they're used to. Hence Whay al Twovey's 2175 01:41:33.319 --> 01:41:36.359 out there, but it's the short term, long term, pay 2176 01:41:36.399 --> 01:41:38.600 me now, pay me later. The one thing that does 2177 01:41:38.800 --> 01:41:44.119 start to bother you, though, is if a player decid 2178 01:41:44.199 --> 01:41:47.399 I mean if it and he's listened Jordon Alvarez over 2179 01:41:47.479 --> 01:41:49.399 his career. I don't know what the exact splits are, 2180 01:41:50.439 --> 01:41:53.600 but it only when he's in left field hits well, 2181 01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:57.159 we've seen it. But also he hits pretty damn well 2182 01:41:57.199 --> 01:42:00.079 when he's just the DH. We've seen that too. But 2183 01:42:00.159 --> 01:42:02.399 if Jordon came he said, I want to play every 2184 01:42:02.520 --> 01:42:05.600 day in the field, now that's a battle, kind of 2185 01:42:05.720 --> 01:42:08.840 like the Dever's horror thing. I'm a third basin, Well, no, 2186 01:42:08.920 --> 01:42:10.840 you're a DH. I'm a third No, you're a DH. 2187 01:42:10.920 --> 01:42:12.880 We got a gold Glover at third base, and now 2188 01:42:12.920 --> 01:42:15.359 it's starting to where he's starting to rake. Bregman's raking 2189 01:42:15.439 --> 01:42:18.199 and your best player's playing third base. And the truth 2190 01:42:18.239 --> 01:42:20.359 of the matter is Jordon's a better left fielder than 2191 01:42:20.359 --> 01:42:24.359 al tuove He really is, But six months from now, 2192 01:42:24.399 --> 01:42:27.079 who knows. But if he came to you, then you'd 2193 01:42:27.119 --> 01:42:28.920 have to make the decision. But I'm assuming he just, 2194 01:42:29.000 --> 01:42:31.800 you know, a DH. I wouldn't judge the position or 2195 01:42:31.800 --> 01:42:33.239 how he's sitting right now. By the fact that he's 2196 01:42:33.279 --> 01:42:35.920 not playing the outfield, the ship probably has sailed. Now, 2197 01:42:35.960 --> 01:42:38.920 who knows what if something were we God forbid, Altuve 2198 01:42:39.039 --> 01:42:41.680 gets a hammy or is that, then you may see 2199 01:42:41.720 --> 01:42:43.439 a little bit more of Jordan in left field. 2200 01:42:43.520 --> 01:42:44.199 So it's a. 2201 01:42:44.199 --> 01:42:46.039 Decision you have to make. It's just preservation. 2202 01:42:46.800 --> 01:42:46.920 Now. 2203 01:42:46.960 --> 01:42:50.920 If the guy was a consistent in his career, couldn't 2204 01:42:50.960 --> 01:42:54.039 hit his weight and with which for him was about 2205 01:42:54.079 --> 01:42:55.880 two forty, so it's been an average player in baseball, 2206 01:42:55.920 --> 01:42:58.800 but couldn't hit unless he played the outfield, then you 2207 01:42:58.880 --> 01:43:01.119 would just have to do it, say hopefully it doesn't 2208 01:43:01.119 --> 01:43:04.239 get hurt. If the splits were so blatantly different and 2209 01:43:04.279 --> 01:43:06.039 I don't know what the exact numbers are, but my 2210 01:43:06.199 --> 01:43:08.760 guess is from the optics of watching him, he said 2211 01:43:08.800 --> 01:43:10.720 plenty of home runs, driven in plenty of runs, and 2212 01:43:11.039 --> 01:43:13.960 hit plenty well as a DH as well. But if 2213 01:43:14.000 --> 01:43:15.680 it came to the point where the splits were blatant, 2214 01:43:15.720 --> 01:43:18.279 then you say, okay, there's something to this, is there. 2215 01:43:18.840 --> 01:43:21.000 The bottom line is he likes to play the outfield, 2216 01:43:21.079 --> 01:43:23.000 hits there too. But the guy does hit when he's 2217 01:43:23.039 --> 01:43:25.560 a DH. So but the ship is said, unless some 2218 01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:31.000 crazy ass injury situation hits you, and regardless of whether 2219 01:43:31.079 --> 01:43:32.960 Andy wants it or you don't or what have you. 2220 01:43:34.159 --> 01:43:36.159 They went out and got Christian Walker. They don't want 2221 01:43:36.319 --> 01:43:38.399 Jordan to play first base. And I know sometimes we 2222 01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:40.600 make first base seem easy. It's not an easy position, 2223 01:43:41.279 --> 01:43:44.920 but of the infield, it feels like, okay, I almost 2224 01:43:44.960 --> 01:43:49.159 feel it goes shortstop, third base, first base, second base, 2225 01:43:49.479 --> 01:43:52.079 I feel like second base because you're rarely digging out 2226 01:43:52.119 --> 01:43:54.119 balls that are in the dirt. First base is There's 2227 01:43:54.119 --> 01:43:55.800 a lot of things that go to it. So in 2228 01:43:55.920 --> 01:43:58.720 that order, regardless, it's still difficult. And until it's an 2229 01:43:58.720 --> 01:44:02.640 absolute need, Jordon's going to play the field anywhere other 2230 01:44:02.720 --> 01:44:04.680 than spot times, you're not getting one hundred and forty 2231 01:44:04.680 --> 01:44:05.880 games out of the month. Well, and to your point 2232 01:44:05.880 --> 01:44:08.079 about first baseman, we found that out after you didn't 2233 01:44:08.119 --> 01:44:10.399 have Juligar yell around anymore. When he had a guy 2234 01:44:10.479 --> 01:44:13.039 that was a gold Glover over there playing the caliber 2235 01:44:13.199 --> 01:44:15.760 that he did, you were like, oh, yeah, the defensive 2236 01:44:15.760 --> 01:44:17.079 part of it, this is important too. 2237 01:44:17.159 --> 01:44:19.319 It's not just a guy that can put balls over 2238 01:44:19.359 --> 01:44:22.439 the wall. So in fact, yeah, absolutely, let's go to 2239 01:44:22.479 --> 01:44:24.840 the northwest side. John wants the way in here, John, 2240 01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:25.359 what's going on? 2241 01:44:26.560 --> 01:44:28.760 Hey Fellas, Fellas, good morning to you. 2242 01:44:29.399 --> 01:44:29.680 Morning. 2243 01:44:31.079 --> 01:44:31.479 Hey man. 2244 01:44:31.560 --> 01:44:34.199 Look you know my feeling is this right here? 2245 01:44:34.279 --> 01:44:34.399 Man. 2246 01:44:34.439 --> 01:44:37.199 I've been watching baseball quite a long time, and I'm 2247 01:44:37.239 --> 01:44:39.760 sure your callers have too. But hey man, I think 2248 01:44:39.840 --> 01:44:42.760 this is like the seven eight game in the season 2249 01:44:42.840 --> 01:44:45.520 for the Astros. I don't know what they have yet, 2250 01:44:45.800 --> 01:44:49.039 and what I see I like the partitial I see. 2251 01:44:49.079 --> 01:44:52.640 I like I'm loving Perellas and I'm loving welcome because 2252 01:44:53.039 --> 01:44:55.640 they might not be starting off with a good season. 2253 01:44:55.720 --> 01:44:57.960 But I'll tell you one thing. When they hit the ball, well, 2254 01:44:58.000 --> 01:45:01.600 I see power as far as Avareds though. When the 2255 01:45:01.680 --> 01:45:05.840 Astros brought Avareds up, they had he had as I remember, 2256 01:45:05.960 --> 01:45:08.119 he had to have little surgery on his knees and 2257 01:45:08.199 --> 01:45:10.880 stuff like that. Look at here, he scares me when 2258 01:45:11.000 --> 01:45:14.520 he runs from first base or second base. D H 2259 01:45:14.680 --> 01:45:18.840 is just fine. As I'm concerned. And Sean, the reason 2260 01:45:18.880 --> 01:45:21.359 I called. Did I hear you mentioned earlier? You can't 2261 01:45:21.520 --> 01:45:25.079 stand there, gimme crap after the ninth inning. 2262 01:45:25.760 --> 01:45:28.000 That's exactly I've been saying it all along. I cannot 2263 01:45:28.079 --> 01:45:30.640 stand putting a guy on second base. It's not real baseball. 2264 01:45:30.680 --> 01:45:33.039 It's a gimmick. Yes, I despise it. 2265 01:45:33.439 --> 01:45:36.640 You didn't earn it, man, Yeah, man, I can't stand 2266 01:45:36.760 --> 01:45:37.239 that either. 2267 01:45:37.359 --> 01:45:37.520 Man. 2268 01:45:37.600 --> 01:45:41.960 It cheap THEMS baseball. It cheapens the fans, you know, 2269 01:45:42.159 --> 01:45:46.439 fans that pay for paint, the subscriptions for this and everything. 2270 01:45:46.840 --> 01:45:49.760 And really, my personal feeling is the reason they did 2271 01:45:49.920 --> 01:45:54.359 this because they don't want to paint any more television money. 2272 01:45:54.720 --> 01:45:57.600 And you know, we didn't have that many games that 2273 01:45:57.840 --> 01:46:02.279 went fourteen fifteen twenty won twenty two games that year 2274 01:46:02.399 --> 01:46:04.800 when the Astros I think they went twenty three or 2275 01:46:04.960 --> 01:46:09.760 twenty four. Uh, overtime, overtime anything. 2276 01:46:11.840 --> 01:46:12.960 Hey, man, it was wonderful. 2277 01:46:13.039 --> 01:46:15.319 I was at work, man, I'm watching this game and 2278 01:46:15.720 --> 01:46:17.960 then I get off work at two o'clock and the. 2279 01:46:18.039 --> 01:46:20.760 Game is still going on. I enjoyed it. 2280 01:46:21.159 --> 01:46:24.119 And this is the deal. You don't have that many 2281 01:46:24.479 --> 01:46:27.319 overtime games like that in baseball, man, that you know 2282 01:46:27.479 --> 01:46:30.199 that that that was just so terrible. But hey, in 2283 01:46:30.640 --> 01:46:33.399 all the sports now right, they cutting things here and there. 2284 01:46:33.760 --> 01:46:35.800 You know they're saying, well, we know these fans are 2285 01:46:35.800 --> 01:46:36.880 gonna get used to it, but. 2286 01:46:36.920 --> 01:46:38.319 We still want their money. 2287 01:46:38.439 --> 01:46:39.000 Every month. 2288 01:46:39.439 --> 01:46:41.319 Let's go ahead on and cut some of this and 2289 01:46:41.439 --> 01:46:44.880 save money. Man, Hey, y'all, have a good day, fellas. 2290 01:46:46.479 --> 01:46:48.880 I'll tell you this. I don't want to hear that 2291 01:46:48.960 --> 01:46:51.720 it preserves injuries and all. I mean, you're safer when 2292 01:46:51.720 --> 01:46:53.840 you're not playing the extra and it's it's a it's 2293 01:46:53.840 --> 01:46:54.239 a crock. 2294 01:46:54.359 --> 01:46:54.600 It was. 2295 01:46:54.760 --> 01:46:57.000 It started during COVID and we know and they just 2296 01:46:57.079 --> 01:46:59.960 haven't gone back. They don't want the games, whether it's still, 2297 01:47:00.199 --> 01:47:02.079 whether it's you know, gett into your local programming and 2298 01:47:02.119 --> 01:47:05.039 your whatever. The reason is, the bottom line is these 2299 01:47:05.039 --> 01:47:07.399 guys make enough money to play extra innings. They just 2300 01:47:07.479 --> 01:47:10.239 do the right way. Now with a guy on second base, 2301 01:47:10.520 --> 01:47:13.399 this isn't Little league. You know the force runners out. 2302 01:47:13.479 --> 01:47:15.840 When you have a ghost runner on first base, it's 2303 01:47:15.920 --> 01:47:17.960 it's a gimmick. And that's exactly what is the They 2304 01:47:18.039 --> 01:47:20.159 make enough money and we got enough time, and we 2305 01:47:20.319 --> 01:47:23.000 like baseball games. You need to earn second base. You 2306 01:47:23.039 --> 01:47:25.239 shouldn't get it. I don't care what anybody says, it's 2307 01:47:25.279 --> 01:47:27.600 not We don't have to change rules just to change them. 2308 01:47:27.840 --> 01:47:30.800 And I'm willing to watch four or five six more innings, 2309 01:47:30.840 --> 01:47:32.800 regardless of the sleep you lose. If you love watching 2310 01:47:32.880 --> 01:47:35.560 the game. If it goes extra innings the right way, 2311 01:47:35.960 --> 01:47:38.560 earn your earn second base. This is it's ridiculous, and 2312 01:47:39.159 --> 01:47:40.600 it was a rule put in as a gimmick, and 2313 01:47:40.640 --> 01:47:42.399 now they're going to keep it and it's silly. It's 2314 01:47:42.479 --> 01:47:45.359 just frigging silly. It's not real baseball. Well we can 2315 01:47:45.399 --> 01:47:47.720 agree that Augustin nastional this week is not a gimmick. 2316 01:47:47.840 --> 01:47:50.359 Rights it ever is If you go in with a gimmick, 2317 01:47:50.399 --> 01:47:51.439 you're gonna get your ass handed. 2318 01:47:52.039 --> 01:47:54.239 Say, if you try that, or even if you try 2319 01:47:54.319 --> 01:47:56.359 it as a patron, they'll throw you right out. 2320 01:47:56.399 --> 01:47:59.000 All right.

It's 2356 01:49:37.279 --> 01:49:39.840 hello friends, welcoming us to Butler Cabin. The drive, the 2357 01:49:39.960 --> 01:49:41.199 drive down Magnolia Lane. 2358 01:49:41.359 --> 01:49:44.319 First page of the leader board. Scottie Scheffler at the top, 2359 01:49:45.800 --> 01:49:50.479 Fred Couples, my former University Houston teammate, quickly to Verne 2360 01:49:50.520 --> 01:49:54.479 Lundquist at sixteen. Now Frank Nabolo. Yep, no, Vern Lunquist 2361 01:49:54.840 --> 01:49:58.039 did his last one last year. The great voice of yes, 2362 01:49:58.159 --> 01:50:02.600 Sir Vern Lundquist. All right, draft time. That's it. Five 2363 01:50:02.680 --> 01:50:05.840 people total score. If you don't make the cut any 2364 01:50:06.119 --> 01:50:07.840 you know, if two of your players don't make the cut, 2365 01:50:07.920 --> 01:50:10.000 then if they were plus five plus five and then 2366 01:50:10.119 --> 01:50:13.359 two days, then that's ten strokes added to your score. 2367 01:50:15.199 --> 01:50:22.399 So tiebreaker, tiebreaker. We usually have a sixth player, which 2368 01:50:22.439 --> 01:50:23.800 we can do if you want a tie breaker. I 2369 01:50:23.840 --> 01:50:25.760 would imagine with five and five we won't need one, 2370 01:50:25.800 --> 01:50:27.800 but we can decide at the end of our picks. 2371 01:50:27.840 --> 01:50:30.920 I'll start Scotty Scheffler, two time winner, has not been 2372 01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:34.119 playing well there, you're My biggest concern with Scheffler is, 2373 01:50:34.239 --> 01:50:36.399 for the first time since he's been dominating the last 2374 01:50:36.439 --> 01:50:39.319 two or three years, I see more emotion on him 2375 01:50:39.359 --> 01:50:42.640 and frustration on the golf course. Normally it's just yet 2376 01:50:42.680 --> 01:50:45.560 he still can overcome it. The guy's brilliant. He's starting 2377 01:50:45.560 --> 01:50:48.239 to put better. The last couple of weeks. He's ramped 2378 01:50:48.279 --> 01:50:50.000 his game up. He was really good here in Houston. 2379 01:50:50.439 --> 01:50:52.680 Give me Scotty Scheffler, the fact that he knows this 2380 01:50:52.760 --> 01:50:54.399 golf course and he hits it where he wants to 2381 01:50:54.479 --> 01:50:56.800 as long as the frustration stays out. Give me Scheffler 2382 01:50:56.840 --> 01:50:57.239 at first. 2383 01:50:58.000 --> 01:51:00.760 Yeah, I mean two time winner there is the course. Well, 2384 01:51:00.880 --> 01:51:02.640 I'm gonna go with a live guy. I'm gonna go 2385 01:51:02.680 --> 01:51:03.199 with Bryson. 2386 01:51:03.800 --> 01:51:06.439 Okay, to Shambo. I'm going to go to Shambo. Yeah. 2387 01:51:06.439 --> 01:51:08.079 I talk to a guy who's played in the tournament 2388 01:51:08.199 --> 01:51:11.119 yesterday for for about forty five minutes, and he likes 2389 01:51:11.199 --> 01:51:14.079 Bryson too long. Can bring it to your knees, but 2390 01:51:14.880 --> 01:51:16.640 gonna have to putt. But that guy and I love 2391 01:51:16.720 --> 01:51:19.560 his personality the way Deshambo's kind of one over fans 2392 01:51:19.600 --> 01:51:24.560 and stuff lately. Give me a Ludwig Obert Okay. Second, 2393 01:51:24.640 --> 01:51:27.640 because I I think he's got the prettiest swing in golf, 2394 01:51:28.359 --> 01:51:30.640 and I think he's ready for another big breakthrough. He's 2395 01:51:30.720 --> 01:51:33.439 won this year, and I fully expect him to win 2396 01:51:33.520 --> 01:51:37.279 many more. First major, could possibly eighteen to one. I like, 2397 01:51:37.479 --> 01:51:40.479 I like his ability as a young guy to kind 2398 01:51:40.520 --> 01:51:42.720 of smile it off. I think that I think that 2399 01:51:42.800 --> 01:51:44.640 he's going to be in the hut. Yeah, you mentioned 2400 01:51:44.760 --> 01:51:48.119 Scotti Scheffler. Former champions. Former champions usually do well, and 2401 01:51:48.600 --> 01:51:50.720 this guy is one of those, and he's won this 2402 01:51:50.840 --> 01:51:54.800 year on the tour. I'm gonna go ahead, Decki Matziama, Matziyama, Okay, 2403 01:51:55.399 --> 01:51:57.159 I'll get you. Are you right? You got? You's already 2404 01:51:57.159 --> 01:51:59.880 really right? Yeah, you know. I'm trying to go long 2405 01:52:00.079 --> 01:52:03.880 shots and see if I can mix that in. I 2406 01:52:03.880 --> 01:52:07.319 don't think Xanderschoffley has played very well this year in 2407 01:52:07.439 --> 01:52:10.560 my opinion, considering what we have. But he's always capable. 2408 01:52:10.680 --> 01:52:13.920 And then you got the Shane Lowry's who put it well. 2409 01:52:14.479 --> 01:52:17.640 I'm gonna hang up there and say that Colin Morikawa 2410 01:52:19.000 --> 01:52:23.039 hangs around, always good short game and can drive the 2411 01:52:23.079 --> 01:52:25.359 golf ball. Give me him and he's won majors before 2412 01:52:25.399 --> 01:52:26.680 a couple of them. I like him. 2413 01:52:26.840 --> 01:52:29.319 I'm going to go with another star of the TGL. 2414 01:52:29.720 --> 01:52:32.119 I'm gonna go with the star of the TGL min 2415 01:52:32.159 --> 01:52:32.520 woo Lee. 2416 01:52:33.239 --> 01:52:35.079 You're going minwou uh min woo. 2417 01:52:34.920 --> 01:52:38.159 Lee winner here at the text Children's you snopen solid 2418 01:52:38.199 --> 01:52:41.760 ball striker very much, solid ball unfollow on social media too, 2419 01:52:41.960 --> 01:52:43.720 no doubt. Then you go down to like the Jason 2420 01:52:43.800 --> 01:52:47.680 Days and Wyndham Clark's. Is Dustin Johnson into it enough? 2421 01:52:47.920 --> 01:52:51.880 Justin Rose always hangs around in these give me you know, 2422 01:52:52.399 --> 01:52:54.279 we've gone through all this and none of us have 2423 01:52:54.359 --> 01:52:56.640 picked the guy who's playing right now. He'd be the 2424 01:52:57.000 --> 01:52:59.479 PGA Tour Player of the Year in twenty twenty five 2425 01:52:59.520 --> 01:53:02.560 would be ry malroy one Cable Beach one at what 2426 01:53:02.720 --> 01:53:06.840 the players, Yes, he did in an extra in extra 2427 01:53:06.960 --> 01:53:11.439 holes the next day, I got to think that with 2428 01:53:11.600 --> 01:53:14.159 the fourth pick of this and Rory is still sitting there, 2429 01:53:14.640 --> 01:53:17.199 I don't He's had some miserable times here at Augusta, 2430 01:53:17.239 --> 01:53:19.119 and this has been in his crawl and in his 2431 01:53:19.319 --> 01:53:24.159 mental and I do believe that he's got a psychologist 2432 01:53:24.199 --> 01:53:27.159 sports psychologist with him this week here. I do I 2433 01:53:27.279 --> 01:53:30.439 think at Augusta, or at least was there early. I 2434 01:53:30.439 --> 01:53:33.760 don't know if it's Bob Rotella, doctor Bob Rotella. Maybe 2435 01:53:33.800 --> 01:53:36.680 it is, who's a famed sports psychologist. But Rory's got 2436 01:53:36.760 --> 01:53:38.520 to get over the mental block of this golf course. 2437 01:53:38.600 --> 01:53:40.159 But I'm going to take him with a fourth pick 2438 01:53:40.199 --> 01:53:42.800 in this draft. How can you not take him. He's 2439 01:53:42.800 --> 01:53:44.520 the player of the year so far this year. Give me, 2440 01:53:44.680 --> 01:53:47.039 give me macalrol O. Paralysis by analysis. 2441 01:53:47.159 --> 01:53:49.520 Man. You know, if you truly passed it, you're truly 2442 01:53:49.600 --> 01:53:52.319 passed it. So but still a good, solid pick by you. 2443 01:53:52.800 --> 01:53:55.079 I'm gonna go with your Thanks for your opinion. I 2444 01:53:55.239 --> 01:53:58.000 appreciate it. You like that always that they're in the 2445 01:53:58.079 --> 01:54:01.119 fantasy drafts. You be a good pick. I appreciate it. Well, 2446 01:54:01.159 --> 01:54:03.520 that's why I picked him. Yeah, it's a steal at 2447 01:54:03.520 --> 01:54:06.119 the fourth pick. I know one thing, he'll make the cut. 2448 01:54:06.640 --> 01:54:08.479 He slid down, he slid down the draft boards. I'm 2449 01:54:08.479 --> 01:54:11.520 gonna go with Russell Henley. Solid player, Yes he is, 2450 01:54:11.680 --> 01:54:14.159 he's playing. I'm playing well this year. 2451 01:54:14.680 --> 01:54:16.159 You know, at some point in time, you're going to 2452 01:54:16.199 --> 01:54:19.920 look down here and somebody like Tony feenaur A, Kegan Bradley, 2453 01:54:20.159 --> 01:54:22.840 Brian Harmon won last week. You know, like I said 2454 01:54:22.880 --> 01:54:26.119 Wyndham Clark, They're gonna rear their head. But I feel 2455 01:54:26.159 --> 01:54:28.960 like I'm top heavy with my picks with odds this year. 2456 01:54:29.680 --> 01:54:32.319 John Rahm's been a winner here. How's he going to play? 2457 01:54:32.680 --> 01:54:36.840 He's long. I'm struggling between Ram and Kepka. I like 2458 01:54:36.880 --> 01:54:41.159 to call him Brooksy. I just think that that if 2459 01:54:41.199 --> 01:54:44.680 you've won here, the familiarity and when you're long, h 2460 01:54:46.039 --> 01:54:48.760 I don't like to leave Brooks Kopka and his grind 2461 01:54:49.000 --> 01:54:51.760 out of majors because the guy does everything for this 2462 01:54:52.640 --> 01:54:55.600 and John Ram and then you start to look at 2463 01:54:55.800 --> 01:54:58.239 the way Victor Howlin started to shape up his game. 2464 01:54:58.880 --> 01:55:01.039 Give me John Ram because he's one here. I'm not 2465 01:55:01.359 --> 01:55:04.039 real comfortable with a pick, but the fact that he's 2466 01:55:04.079 --> 01:55:07.359 one here and live golfers have given some, you know, 2467 01:55:08.199 --> 01:55:10.960 given the PGA guys the thing to think about. Give 2468 01:55:11.000 --> 01:55:13.680 me wrong here because he's long, and if his putter's 2469 01:55:13.720 --> 01:55:15.560 work and he can bring the course to his knees 2470 01:55:15.640 --> 01:55:17.960 like the shamble, because he can he can drive the 2471 01:55:18.000 --> 01:55:20.000 ball where guys are hitting five iron and he's hitting 2472 01:55:20.000 --> 01:55:22.119 a flip wedge in or an eight iron in. Should 2473 01:55:22.119 --> 01:55:25.439 I say, yeah, I'll take wrong. I'm anxious to see 2474 01:55:25.479 --> 01:55:27.600 who manages the course. Well, we've got a putt and 2475 01:55:28.159 --> 01:55:31.319 and uh, you know that's why a guy in truth, 2476 01:55:31.399 --> 01:55:35.119 the guys who right now the best putters in the world. 2477 01:55:35.199 --> 01:55:36.560 Give me somebody who can keep it in a three 2478 01:55:36.560 --> 01:55:39.560 foot circle, which is hard to do there, but long 2479 01:55:39.760 --> 01:55:42.600 players are hitting different clubs into it. I'm gonna go 2480 01:55:42.720 --> 01:55:43.319 John rom. 2481 01:55:43.640 --> 01:55:45.520 Now, even though he hasn't been much of a winner, 2482 01:55:45.840 --> 01:55:48.079 he is a guy that is a perennial top ten guy, 2483 01:55:48.279 --> 01:55:50.920 and strategy does matter here. I'll go with Tony Now 2484 01:55:50.960 --> 01:55:51.399 on my team. 2485 01:55:51.640 --> 01:55:54.560 Okay, and Tony Now boy can and he can drive 2486 01:55:54.600 --> 01:55:56.520 it a long way. The question is can he stand 2487 01:55:56.560 --> 01:55:58.520 over putts and make them in majors? That's that's what 2488 01:55:58.600 --> 01:56:00.960 he's gonna be faced with. All right, overtime pick in 2489 01:56:01.039 --> 01:56:04.279 case there's a tie. Now, if your guy doesn't make 2490 01:56:04.319 --> 01:56:06.039 the cut as a tieth, then your host, right, yeah, 2491 01:56:06.159 --> 01:56:10.319 all right, so give me Victor Hovelin. Is my sudden 2492 01:56:10.359 --> 01:56:16.439 depth tiebreaker, Going Victor Hovelin. I'm gonna go Stepstraca played 2493 01:56:16.520 --> 01:56:19.640 great this year. He has played great, really good putter, 2494 01:56:19.760 --> 01:56:22.119 and he is hitting the ball exactly where he wants 2495 01:56:22.159 --> 01:56:25.039 to hit it somebody like back Tier or somebody's gonna 2496 01:56:25.039 --> 01:56:27.159 come through this way. I'm just telling you and be close. 2497 01:56:27.880 --> 01:56:30.920 But I like that pick. Matter of fact, I think 2498 01:56:30.960 --> 01:56:33.319 that's a damn good pick because he has hit it 2499 01:56:33.359 --> 01:56:35.239 as close and as good as anybody as far as 2500 01:56:35.279 --> 01:56:37.319 consistence he goes. He's on a front page of Leaderboard 2501 01:56:37.319 --> 01:56:40.279 every week. Should be good. All right, So. 2502 01:56:40.800 --> 01:56:43.399 Liking my picks, you're liking yours, and we're going to 2503 01:56:43.520 --> 01:56:46.960 of course love the tradition unlike any other that masters 2504 01:56:47.039 --> 01:56:47.439 can't wait. 2505 01:56:47.720 --> 01:56:49.640 That's it. But one guy not gonna be part of 2506 01:56:49.680 --> 01:56:51.439 the field this week. That's a problem. 2507 01:56:51.680 --> 01:56:53.880 We can talk about that a little bit before we 2508 01:56:54.000 --> 01:56:56.680 get into the nine o'clock hour. Forty five minutes from now. 2509 01:56:56.760 --> 01:56:58.560 Dana Brown going to join us here on the Sean 2510 01:56:58.640 --> 01:56:59.439 Salisbury Show. 2511 01:57:00.479 --> 01:57:01.079 We want to win. 2512 01:57:02.079 --> 01:57:04.520 Sean Salisbury continues on seven ninety. 2513 01:57:05.399 --> 01:57:08.199 But is there a Tiger Woods hangover in the game 2514 01:57:08.439 --> 01:57:12.239 as a whole? Because twenty nineteen will never be replicated 2515 01:57:12.279 --> 01:57:15.119 as long as I'm alive. Like that final round was 2516 01:57:15.199 --> 01:57:18.039 amazing where it was? Could he finally do it? 2517 01:57:18.199 --> 01:57:21.039 Yeah? Were talking about his comeback? Yeah, his comeback? I 2518 01:57:21.119 --> 01:57:24.079 mean just the television alone of could he do it? 2519 01:57:24.319 --> 01:57:25.039 And then what was it? 2520 01:57:25.119 --> 01:57:27.119 Mullinari put a couple in the water and you're like, 2521 01:57:27.199 --> 01:57:29.399 oh my god, he's got the lead now, like this 2522 01:57:29.520 --> 01:57:33.199 could actually happen. Then he finally taps it in wins 2523 01:57:33.239 --> 01:57:37.119 the tournament, and it was you know what, for one 2524 01:57:37.159 --> 01:57:39.279 more day, you know, we got the sun back in 2525 01:57:39.359 --> 01:57:41.640 the sky for one more day with this guy of 2526 01:57:41.760 --> 01:57:43.640 being able to be that guy again. 2527 01:57:44.319 --> 01:57:46.720 So your question is do I think I need somebody 2528 01:57:46.840 --> 01:57:47.760 like that or what's the point. 2529 01:57:48.000 --> 01:57:50.840 Well, it's that the game just doesn't have him as 2530 01:57:51.319 --> 01:57:54.279 what he was, And Brandal Shambley brought that up on 2531 01:57:54.479 --> 01:57:59.359 the four Play podcast the Barschool Barstool Golf podcast. Everything 2532 01:57:59.399 --> 01:58:01.800 he did was so exciting. He made the job easy. 2533 01:58:01.880 --> 01:58:03.880 Here's your story tonight, here's a breakdown. You just show 2534 01:58:03.920 --> 01:58:06.960 him chipping, you get a great rating. You realize he's 2535 01:58:07.000 --> 01:58:11.600 sort of shuffled the competition coil every weekend in week outs. 2536 01:58:11.640 --> 01:58:13.880 Not knock on the current group of players, it's just 2537 01:58:14.000 --> 01:58:16.119 that we're all having a Tiger Woods hangover. 2538 01:58:17.359 --> 01:58:18.920 Well, I don't even know if it's a hangover. I 2539 01:58:18.960 --> 01:58:21.000 think it's you'd like more of it because you want 2540 01:58:21.039 --> 01:58:23.199 the fire of him walking down the fairway and not 2541 01:58:23.359 --> 01:58:26.760 talking to his opponent, the gamesmanship that went with it, 2542 01:58:27.039 --> 01:58:29.079 the bury him while he's got a chance to do 2543 01:58:29.159 --> 01:58:31.960 it at the greatest golf venue on the planet. When 2544 01:58:32.039 --> 01:58:36.640 it comes to tournament play. We love guys that not 2545 01:58:36.760 --> 01:58:38.680 only can be the here. We love comeback stories, We 2546 01:58:38.800 --> 01:58:41.279 love great golfers. We want the guy that dominates so 2547 01:58:41.359 --> 01:58:45.199 everybody else has to chase. We want Phil and Tiger 2548 01:58:45.279 --> 01:58:47.640 to be in, you know, competition with each other with 2549 01:58:47.760 --> 01:58:49.680 everything they do. We're looking for it. We don't have 2550 01:58:49.720 --> 01:58:53.239 it right now. We got Scotti, Scheffler and Roy McElroy, 2551 01:58:53.319 --> 01:58:55.279 but it's not really a head to head battle on 2552 01:58:55.359 --> 01:58:58.720 a regular basis like we created the Tiger Woods created 2553 01:58:59.159 --> 01:59:02.640 and that Jack and Arnie. We were missing that. We 2554 01:59:02.720 --> 01:59:05.600 got good players, but where's the star powers. I think 2555 01:59:05.600 --> 01:59:07.960 what people a talking about Scheffler no disrespect to a 2556 01:59:08.000 --> 01:59:10.880 great players boring and that's okay. His game's not boring. 2557 01:59:10.920 --> 01:59:14.439 He's phenomenal. Mechanics are weird, feet or moving everywhere, and 2558 01:59:14.439 --> 01:59:16.239 the guy hits it exactly where he freakin wants to, 2559 01:59:16.640 --> 01:59:21.039 and I love the guy, but there's there's some miss 2560 01:59:21.039 --> 01:59:22.680 and then you know, some of these guys that we 2561 01:59:22.800 --> 01:59:24.359 only see in four times a year because they're on 2562 01:59:24.399 --> 01:59:28.479 the Lift Tour still bring Bryson d Schambeau. Quite frankly, 2563 01:59:28.920 --> 01:59:30.800 he went from a guy that was a heel because 2564 01:59:30.840 --> 01:59:33.920 people didn't thought he was overly arrogant and swinging too hard, 2565 01:59:34.000 --> 01:59:36.119 wins a major and told you he was going to 2566 01:59:36.199 --> 01:59:38.439 just bring the course to its knees basically by hitting 2567 01:59:38.439 --> 01:59:40.199 it farther than everybody else. And he did end one 2568 01:59:40.880 --> 01:59:42.720 and then going to you know, I don't. I don't 2569 01:59:42.720 --> 01:59:44.439 blame a guy from going getting three hundred to four 2570 01:59:44.520 --> 01:59:46.840 hundred million. Hell, who wouldn't. The reason why the top 2571 01:59:46.920 --> 01:59:49.479 guys don't go to live is because they're making money. 2572 01:59:49.600 --> 01:59:51.399 But if you're one hundred and twenty fifth player on tour, 2573 01:59:51.640 --> 01:59:55.000 got to work to be to be inside that number 2574 01:59:55.039 --> 01:59:57.079 so you can get your card the next year. I 2575 01:59:57.199 --> 02:00:00.159 get why somebody wants to go and get their forty 2576 02:00:00.199 --> 02:00:02.600 five million guaranteed okay, to set up their family. That 2577 02:00:02.840 --> 02:00:05.920 neither here nor there. We don't have the weekly oh 2578 02:00:06.000 --> 02:00:08.079 my gosh, we probably have over the last two years, 2579 02:00:08.119 --> 02:00:12.279 what twenty new winners. While we love the story of 2580 02:00:12.359 --> 02:00:14.479 a guy getting his first win and struggling through it 2581 02:00:14.520 --> 02:00:17.800 and kissing his newborn baby with his wife. We still love. 2582 02:00:18.000 --> 02:00:20.239 Oh there's Tiger Woods dominance again. We want a villain 2583 02:00:20.279 --> 02:00:22.520 and we want a hero, and then we'd love them 2584 02:00:22.560 --> 02:00:25.039 to be pitted against each other. And that's just what 2585 02:00:25.479 --> 02:00:29.000 we got. Great golfers, I mean, phenomenal players can hit 2586 02:00:29.039 --> 02:00:32.079 it everywhere. The problem is that while we got the 2587 02:00:32.119 --> 02:00:35.520 dominant Scottie Scheffler and Rory mclurry, the biggest story for 2588 02:00:35.640 --> 02:00:39.279 this week without Tiger Woods would be if Rory McElroy 2589 02:00:39.600 --> 02:00:43.159 wins the tournament, or is battling a live guy and 2590 02:00:43.319 --> 02:00:46.960 Roy's outspoken and he and Dschambeau, or he and John Rahm, 2591 02:00:47.520 --> 02:00:50.000 or he and Dot Victor Hovel, Are he and somebody 2592 02:00:50.039 --> 02:00:54.720 who's a you know, a live golfer. It's McElroy and 2593 02:00:54.760 --> 02:00:57.119 whoever else we want the Is he gonna choke? Is 2594 02:00:57.159 --> 02:00:58.920 he gonna go Greg Norman? Is he gonna go Rory 2595 02:00:59.039 --> 02:01:01.960 McElroy and at golf course? Or is he gonna do 2596 02:01:02.000 --> 02:01:04.119 what Rory's done this year and bury the field and 2597 02:01:04.199 --> 02:01:05.840 go win his third tournament and be on his way 2598 02:01:05.840 --> 02:01:09.439 to a seven victory nineteen or twenty twenty five. But 2599 02:01:09.960 --> 02:01:13.079 the biggest draw this week and it may not even 2600 02:01:13.119 --> 02:01:16.760 be Scheffler and McElroy, although for star power standing on 2601 02:01:16.840 --> 02:01:18.640 number twelve if they were playing in the last group 2602 02:01:18.680 --> 02:01:21.720 on Sunday. Now we're onto something because it's star power, 2603 02:01:22.119 --> 02:01:24.800 even though Rory's not from the United States, but he's 2604 02:01:25.319 --> 02:01:26.960 he's been on a tour like eight million years and 2605 02:01:27.000 --> 02:01:30.840 he's not even thirty seven years old yet. And then Scheffler, 2606 02:01:30.880 --> 02:01:33.640 who's calm, has won it before. We'd love the competition, 2607 02:01:33.720 --> 02:01:36.479 but in truth we want the hatred part of the conversation. 2608 02:01:36.920 --> 02:01:39.880 Who doesn't want Rory at twelve with d Chambeau and 2609 02:01:40.000 --> 02:01:43.399 him locked in hell on Saturday, you can push Chevy, 2610 02:01:43.399 --> 02:01:44.920 but I know we play two man groups on the 2611 02:01:44.960 --> 02:01:49.079 final day of the Masters. Who doesn't want Rory versus 2612 02:01:49.079 --> 02:01:53.039 a d Chambeau who doesn't want Rory versus somebody else 2613 02:01:53.079 --> 02:01:55.760 who's an outspoken guy and his plays on the live 2614 02:01:55.840 --> 02:01:58.880 tour of Court, Dustin Johnson, even though people think he's 2615 02:01:58.920 --> 02:02:00.840 boring too. He just hits the long way and damn 2616 02:02:00.880 --> 02:02:03.119 good player and he's won there. So that's what the 2617 02:02:03.199 --> 02:02:06.239 Tiger woulds affect. That's the problem we don't have. Tiger 2618 02:02:06.359 --> 02:02:09.119 was the villain at times because everybody thinks he owed 2619 02:02:09.159 --> 02:02:11.199 them an apology to them for the moral things that 2620 02:02:11.279 --> 02:02:13.199 he went through. He didn't know any of an apology 2621 02:02:13.479 --> 02:02:16.279 other than his wife and whoever else he felt. He 2622 02:02:16.279 --> 02:02:17.920 didn't know me an apology. I didn't look to him 2623 02:02:17.920 --> 02:02:21.600 to be my marriage counselor anyway. So there's that. But 2624 02:02:21.760 --> 02:02:23.920 he's also the hero of the villain and all the comebacks. 2625 02:02:24.039 --> 02:02:24.479 We love it. 2626 02:02:24.600 --> 02:02:27.600 So since he's not there, what's the next biggest story 2627 02:02:28.720 --> 02:02:32.239 repeat by Sheffeld. But even bigger is Rory McElroy's lack 2628 02:02:32.319 --> 02:02:36.159 of ability to close there and outspoken, and nothing better 2629 02:02:36.199 --> 02:02:38.720 would serve them to say, Oh, we're on the twelfth 2630 02:02:38.760 --> 02:02:41.279 and he and a live golfer are head to head 2631 02:02:41.359 --> 02:02:44.279 playing and they're not talking very much on the golf 2632 02:02:44.359 --> 02:02:47.800 course and Rory's and now here are the demons that 2633 02:02:47.880 --> 02:02:49.720 he's had to deal with. Can he do it today? 2634 02:02:49.840 --> 02:02:52.680 And if he doesn't, the ratings will go through the roof, 2635 02:02:53.039 --> 02:02:55.720 or if he does. But that's what we're craving. We're 2636 02:02:55.800 --> 02:02:58.359 not craving, I hate to say it, You're not craving 2637 02:02:58.479 --> 02:03:02.479 Victor Hovlin playing Rory mackel or. Victor Hovlin and Tony 2638 02:03:02.560 --> 02:03:05.760 Fenow we love them both now but one with a 2639 02:03:05.800 --> 02:03:08.720 two stroke lead going into sixteen, and we're like, great, 2640 02:03:09.800 --> 02:03:12.479 we love the villain, we love the hero, and the 2641 02:03:12.560 --> 02:03:14.640 only way to get that is by the villain part 2642 02:03:14.760 --> 02:03:17.600 of one from the different tour at Augusta because they've 2643 02:03:18.720 --> 02:03:21.560 lived tour. Guy's pretty good and they've won majors. And 2644 02:03:21.680 --> 02:03:23.359 then you got the other side where a guy who 2645 02:03:23.359 --> 02:03:25.680 hasn't won there that we think right now is the 2646 02:03:25.720 --> 02:03:27.520 best golfer on the PGA Tour with the way he's 2647 02:03:27.560 --> 02:03:28.119 playing this year. 2648 02:03:28.239 --> 02:03:30.560 I mean, the storylines do matter, but it's also too. 2649 02:03:30.720 --> 02:03:33.760 I mean, Tiger created the storyline because he transformed the sport. 2650 02:03:34.079 --> 02:03:36.119 He got athletes to start playing the game. He got 2651 02:03:36.199 --> 02:03:38.880 players on tour who said, hey, you know what, if 2652 02:03:38.920 --> 02:03:41.000 that guy's this good, I need to start looking like him. 2653 02:03:41.319 --> 02:03:42.880 I need to be in better shape, I need to 2654 02:03:42.880 --> 02:03:44.840 start lifting weights, I need to actually look like an 2655 02:03:44.880 --> 02:03:47.640 athlete out here. But not to be underscored by the 2656 02:03:47.680 --> 02:03:49.800 fact of oh, yeah, hey, that guy's just got a 2657 02:03:49.920 --> 02:03:52.600 ton of God given talent, and yes he does that. 2658 02:03:52.800 --> 02:03:56.319 But I mean the way that players dress on tour. 2659 02:03:56.399 --> 02:03:58.800 I mean the guy getting his own clothing line, all 2660 02:03:58.840 --> 02:03:59.920 of these different types of things. 2661 02:04:00.199 --> 02:04:02.239 Those are things the game didn't happen. And what it 2662 02:04:02.319 --> 02:04:04.960 goes with tiger Io is you're never gonna see talent 2663 02:04:05.279 --> 02:04:09.840 is obvious when he won him back in nineteen. More 2664 02:04:09.880 --> 02:04:12.920 grit than talent. I mean, he can barely walk at times. 2665 02:04:13.199 --> 02:04:15.479 I mean, and there's nobody ever on the golf tour 2666 02:04:15.520 --> 02:04:19.079 that's going to overcome this many obstacles, some self inflicted 2667 02:04:19.159 --> 02:04:22.239 by him, whether it's injury, whether it's achilles, whether it's 2668 02:04:22.359 --> 02:04:25.439 leg almost being taken, whether it's what happened with the 2669 02:04:25.560 --> 02:04:27.760 off the field stuff, with the why, all those things, 2670 02:04:27.960 --> 02:04:30.079 and he just keeps coming back another life. But that 2671 02:04:30.199 --> 02:04:32.399 life's not just created by talent. It's back in there saying. 2672 02:04:32.560 --> 02:04:35.800 And he will play another PGA Tour event, I assure you, 2673 02:04:36.319 --> 02:04:38.720 because of his grind. I don't know if he'll win one, 2674 02:04:38.760 --> 02:04:41.560 but he will play in one again. And that's just 2675 02:04:41.680 --> 02:04:43.479 who he is. You're never going to see it again. 2676 02:04:43.560 --> 02:04:45.199 Why you may see guys win a lot, and you're 2677 02:04:45.239 --> 02:04:47.479 never gonna see it again because very few people have 2678 02:04:47.560 --> 02:04:49.119 the grit and wanting. Most would have said, you know what, 2679 02:04:49.159 --> 02:04:51.119 I'm done, I almost lost a leg, this is a 2680 02:04:51.199 --> 02:04:53.560 second another Achilles, all these things that go with it, 2681 02:04:53.880 --> 02:04:56.720 you're not seeing that again. Maybe from him, he'll compete 2682 02:04:56.760 --> 02:04:58.800 and make the cut there again, but you're not going 2683 02:04:58.840 --> 02:05:00.840 to see another player go through. Most would just say 2684 02:05:00.840 --> 02:05:02.159 I don't have the grit to deal with all the 2685 02:05:02.600 --> 02:05:04.880 and then all the way social media beat down on him, 2686 02:05:04.880 --> 02:05:06.720 and he just kept staying the course, stay in the 2687 02:05:06.760 --> 02:05:09.119 course and wins again. You're not going to see a 2688 02:05:09.159 --> 02:05:12.359 comeback like he gave you in twenty nineteen. Nobody's doing that. 2689 02:05:12.800 --> 02:05:14.560 You'll have guys that win, but nobody's going to do 2690 02:05:14.600 --> 02:05:17.960 it in the journey that Tiger Woods took, no. 2691 02:05:18.079 --> 02:05:20.399 Doubt about it. It was almost like Jack in eighty six. 2692 02:05:20.520 --> 02:05:22.520 That's a dated reference right there, but just look it 2693 02:05:22.600 --> 02:05:23.520 up for the kids out there. 2694 02:05:24.000 --> 02:05:26.479 Jack was form more age than yeah, No one say 2695 02:05:26.600 --> 02:05:28.960 forty seven things of adversity and making the Yeah. His 2696 02:05:29.239 --> 02:05:31.279 was like forty six year olds can't win here well, 2697 02:05:31.640 --> 02:05:33.479 and Fred Couples did a pretty good job of winning 2698 02:05:33.479 --> 02:05:35.680 there as he was a little older too, and keeping 2699 02:05:35.720 --> 02:05:38.000 the ball up on number twelve. I love it, but 2700 02:05:38.159 --> 02:05:42.479 we liked the hero in the villain and at different 2701 02:05:42.520 --> 02:05:44.920 times Tiger Woods has played both and that's not a 2702 02:05:44.960 --> 02:05:47.760 bad thing for PGA Tour Golf McElroy would be the 2703 02:05:47.800 --> 02:05:50.479 story this week. Oh, I always wore Sunday red. I 2704 02:05:50.640 --> 02:05:52.239 was always ready. I always wanted to see. 2705 02:05:52.159 --> 02:05:52.680 Him roar it out. 2706 02:05:52.760 --> 02:05:54.199 The other thing, even when you're mad at him, you 2707 02:05:54.239 --> 02:05:56.800 wanted to see him win. Damn right. Yeah, twenty nineteen 2708 02:05:56.920 --> 02:05:58.199 was awesome, all right? 2709 02:05:58.479 --> 02:06:01.239 Coming up next Beckett back in the the Astros conversation, 2710 02:06:01.479 --> 02:06:04.960 because well, these guys, they're the ones absolutely stepping up. 2711 02:06:05.000 --> 02:06:07.319 We'll talk about them also, Dana Brown coming up in 2712 02:06:07.319 --> 02:06:09.720 about thirty minutes.

They're going to be out 2723 02:07:02.279 --> 02:07:05.600 at Big City Wings the Marquee location giving away two 2724 02:07:05.760 --> 02:07:09.520 four packs of Astros dugout tickets. So get over there, 2725 02:07:09.600 --> 02:07:11.680 get you some good lunch, and also have a chance 2726 02:07:11.760 --> 02:07:14.600 to go see the Astros from some good seats. They 2727 02:07:14.640 --> 02:07:17.279 win last night two to one, twelve innings against the 2728 02:07:17.399 --> 02:07:20.479 Mariners there in Seattle. They'll close out series today. Rocket's 2729 02:07:20.560 --> 02:07:24.159 going to take on the Clippers tonight. So that is 2730 02:07:24.439 --> 02:07:26.920 what we have speaking of the Astros Sean, I mean, 2731 02:07:26.920 --> 02:07:28.600 we talked about this a little bit earlier on this show. 2732 02:07:28.640 --> 02:07:32.199 Wanted to bring the conversation back of the pitching being 2733 02:07:32.399 --> 02:07:35.319 exactly what Dana Brown has told us this group could be. 2734 02:07:36.039 --> 02:07:38.760 And last year we were pleasantly surprised by guys like 2735 02:07:38.840 --> 02:07:41.800 Taylor Scott's Renel Blanco, both of those guys struggling a 2736 02:07:41.840 --> 02:07:44.119 little bit in the early going. But while they have 2737 02:07:44.279 --> 02:07:47.640 their struggles, you get guys like Ryan Gusto. Hey, by 2738 02:07:47.680 --> 02:07:50.000 the way, you got a runner on second, nobody out 2739 02:07:50.319 --> 02:07:53.439 and it's a tie ball game. A little bleeder gets through, 2740 02:07:53.479 --> 02:07:56.000 this game's over. You have Ryan Gusto coming in last 2741 02:07:56.079 --> 02:07:58.479 night saying, you know what I'm up for this, I'll 2742 02:07:58.520 --> 02:08:00.800 get some guys out, and he's able to wiggle out 2743 02:08:00.800 --> 02:08:03.359 of the trouble with a flyout and then a double 2744 02:08:03.399 --> 02:08:06.199 play to be able to end the inning. Steven Okert 2745 02:08:06.479 --> 02:08:09.840 another guy that whenever you've called his name and he's 2746 02:08:09.880 --> 02:08:11.920 come jogging out of the bullpen, he stepped up and 2747 02:08:11.960 --> 02:08:12.760 he's absolutely done. 2748 02:08:12.800 --> 02:08:18.479 Wonders for this team. Yeah, they I love it when 2749 02:08:18.640 --> 02:08:20.840 it's not just earning the respect of the manager and 2750 02:08:20.880 --> 02:08:24.319 the general manager and the trust, it's the players they 2751 02:08:24.399 --> 02:08:26.199 know and to be able to do in there and 2752 02:08:26.239 --> 02:08:29.039 close it out in these situations or add an inning, 2753 02:08:29.399 --> 02:08:32.279 give a quality inning, or you know, get your business 2754 02:08:32.319 --> 02:08:34.159 done at the back end of the bullpen, or give 2755 02:08:34.199 --> 02:08:36.319 you six innings at the front. But the two names 2756 02:08:36.399 --> 02:08:40.439 you mentioned, you know, Okert and Gusto doing their gig. 2757 02:08:40.680 --> 02:08:43.560 And while I understand that they're trying to gain everybody's 2758 02:08:43.560 --> 02:08:45.640 trust and do it and win, I can't begin to 2759 02:08:45.680 --> 02:08:47.840 tell you how much it means. I would imagine if 2760 02:08:47.880 --> 02:08:50.279 you take them aside and say, what's the most important 2761 02:08:50.319 --> 02:08:51.880 thing about getting you to the next game and the 2762 02:08:51.960 --> 02:08:55.399 next level, And aside from doing your job, the impact, 2763 02:08:55.680 --> 02:08:57.479 the impact they're trying to make is making sure that 2764 02:08:57.840 --> 02:09:01.359 the manager of pitching, coach and their players trust them. 2765 02:09:01.479 --> 02:09:04.159 Every time you run them out there, and going back 2766 02:09:04.239 --> 02:09:06.840 to your point about Scott that you're like, man, when 2767 02:09:06.840 --> 02:09:08.479 are you going to give somebody else to try? You're 2768 02:09:08.560 --> 02:09:12.560 basically done with him in that role right now. But 2769 02:09:13.199 --> 02:09:15.760 it's easy now imagine if you needed him later on 2770 02:09:15.920 --> 02:09:18.479 and you decided that you would push him down and 2771 02:09:18.640 --> 02:09:20.720 not give him the seventh or give him the belief 2772 02:09:20.800 --> 02:09:24.119 in a high leverage situation that a spot puts him in. 2773 02:09:24.880 --> 02:09:27.239 That if you decided this early eleven games in the 2774 02:09:27.279 --> 02:09:29.840 season to move down, and then two months from now 2775 02:09:29.880 --> 02:09:32.880 you need him in a high leverage, pressure situation, there 2776 02:09:32.960 --> 02:09:35.079 is a method to it. And winning that trust over 2777 02:09:35.159 --> 02:09:36.760 from not only a manager but the guys who are 2778 02:09:36.800 --> 02:09:39.239 in the field and trust you is far more important 2779 02:09:39.279 --> 02:09:41.840 than our opinion of it, I assure you, but those guys, 2780 02:09:41.920 --> 02:09:43.840 but you also have to perform, as all the talk 2781 02:09:43.960 --> 02:09:45.800 and history and back of a card and all that 2782 02:09:45.920 --> 02:09:48.800 means nothing at that moment. And at that moment right now, 2783 02:09:49.199 --> 02:09:51.399 the pitching staff is doing what they've done quite frankly 2784 02:09:51.439 --> 02:09:52.800 for the last one year and a half to two 2785 02:09:52.880 --> 02:09:56.239 years counting not counting this year yet, but counting this year. 2786 02:09:56.279 --> 02:09:59.399 For their success is they've been the staple and the 2787 02:09:59.439 --> 02:10:03.880 backbone this team and two new guys, two more guys 2788 02:10:03.920 --> 02:10:06.279 that are adding to it and been really really good 2789 02:10:06.359 --> 02:10:08.880 coming out of spring training and giving you what you 2790 02:10:09.000 --> 02:10:10.680 need at least eleven games into the season. 2791 02:10:10.840 --> 02:10:12.720 To your point, though, about Taylor Scott, why is it 2792 02:10:12.800 --> 02:10:14.359 fair to him? Why is it fair to you to 2793 02:10:14.479 --> 02:10:16.720 continue to put him in that spot if he's not 2794 02:10:17.039 --> 02:10:19.640 performing in it right now? Why a soft landing spot 2795 02:10:19.720 --> 02:10:20.720 to be able to build back up? 2796 02:10:20.800 --> 02:10:23.600 Yeah? And why? Okay, so, but you are how many 2797 02:10:23.680 --> 02:10:27.640 how many appearances does he have this year? You're judging 2798 02:10:27.680 --> 02:10:29.760 his whole body of work last year and coming into 2799 02:10:29.800 --> 02:10:32.920 the season loving him. We are eleven games in and 2800 02:10:33.039 --> 02:10:37.000 you're saying, what would you say, why is it fair? 2801 02:10:37.159 --> 02:10:39.760 I'm not worried about fair. I'm not worried about that, 2802 02:10:40.319 --> 02:10:43.560 Gusto or anybody else's opinion on fair or yours or mine. 2803 02:10:43.920 --> 02:10:47.600 When it comes out there, the I always I always 2804 02:10:47.680 --> 02:10:49.680 defer to the guys that are around and seeing it 2805 02:10:49.760 --> 02:10:51.760 all the time, and it is a I don't think 2806 02:10:51.760 --> 02:10:54.319 they're looking on the short term. I think you're saying, Okay, 2807 02:10:54.520 --> 02:10:58.560 he's going to be necessary for us. What's more important 2808 02:10:58.640 --> 02:11:01.920 right now? They won the game, he hasn't been the 2809 02:11:02.439 --> 02:11:05.520 Scott that you've counted on yet eleven games in and 2810 02:11:05.880 --> 02:11:08.920 a handful of appearances. However, many innings he's got I'm 2811 02:11:08.920 --> 02:11:10.920 sure you have in front of you. But looking ahead, 2812 02:11:11.439 --> 02:11:14.239 is it smart to say the guy's no good for us? 2813 02:11:14.720 --> 02:11:17.399 And then all of a sudden, But what confidence are 2814 02:11:17.439 --> 02:11:20.319 you gaining in a not? Like I said, there's a 2815 02:11:20.359 --> 02:11:24.119 difference between good reps and reps you don't need. You 2816 02:11:24.199 --> 02:11:26.760 just don't need reps. You need quality reps, and I 2817 02:11:27.279 --> 02:11:30.239 don't know how to get I don't know how to 2818 02:11:30.279 --> 02:11:33.119 get high leverage reps in the third inning or the 2819 02:11:33.159 --> 02:11:36.079 fourth inning. I don't now every rep matters if it's 2820 02:11:36.159 --> 02:11:40.760 working towards bettering you. But all reps aren't good reps, 2821 02:11:40.880 --> 02:11:43.079 and all pressure reps the fourth inning aim as much 2822 02:11:43.079 --> 02:11:45.960 pressure as the seventh inning. So now you got hell, 2823 02:11:45.960 --> 02:11:47.600 if you're getting your ass kicked, you need somebody to 2824 02:11:47.680 --> 02:11:49.840 shut him down for three outs and then okay, that 2825 02:11:49.920 --> 02:11:52.960 built the confidence, and sure, but what it would tell 2826 02:11:53.039 --> 02:11:54.560 me if I was in a spot eleven games in 2827 02:11:55.560 --> 02:11:58.279 and I'm already demoted. Not that I'm worried about his 2828 02:11:58.319 --> 02:12:01.039 overall psyche, but as a relief, we better worry about 2829 02:12:01.079 --> 02:12:03.600 it because I'm not in the field good business. I'm 2830 02:12:03.640 --> 02:12:06.479 in the production business. But eleven games in, are we 2831 02:12:06.720 --> 02:12:09.640 really there yet? Where it's like anah, well, well, you 2832 02:12:09.720 --> 02:12:11.640 know it's not fair to have him coming in there, 2833 02:12:11.880 --> 02:12:13.680 not fair to who. I don't care about fair. I 2834 02:12:13.760 --> 02:12:16.279 care about if they believe in him, and the collateral 2835 02:12:16.359 --> 02:12:18.520 damage it does if you need him later. The only 2836 02:12:18.560 --> 02:12:21.960 way I know how to perform under pressure is being pressure. 2837 02:12:22.479 --> 02:12:25.039 You can't simulate it in the bullpen, and he's sure 2838 02:12:25.079 --> 02:12:27.279 as hell can't simulate it in the third inning when 2839 02:12:27.319 --> 02:12:29.960 the score zero zero and there's nobody on and you're 2840 02:12:30.000 --> 02:12:32.000 going through it. You walk off saying great, But when 2841 02:12:32.039 --> 02:12:33.920 am I getting back to where they trust me? I 2842 02:12:33.960 --> 02:12:36.600 don't think the trust factor should be diminished Eleven games 2843 02:12:36.600 --> 02:12:37.600 into a season. 2844 02:12:37.640 --> 02:12:39.600 Now, And I mean that might be a little bit 2845 02:12:39.680 --> 02:12:43.000 strong to say completely take him out of the spot. Sure, 2846 02:12:43.199 --> 02:12:47.199 but five games this year eight ten, e three and 2847 02:12:47.279 --> 02:12:50.159 a third innings, so he had a rough spring. It's 2848 02:12:50.199 --> 02:12:52.399 carried over into the season. I get working your way 2849 02:12:52.439 --> 02:12:54.800 out of it. But then, also too Sean to your point, 2850 02:12:54.960 --> 02:12:56.359 I mean, was that say to a guy like Brian 2851 02:12:56.479 --> 02:12:59.279 King who comes in in absolutely shoves Steven Okert. 2852 02:13:00.279 --> 02:13:02.479 It tells me that whatever role they're in, keep doing 2853 02:13:02.520 --> 02:13:04.920 your thing. The seventh inning isn't the catch all for 2854 02:13:05.159 --> 02:13:08.359 star players and relievers. I know it's leading to a 2855 02:13:08.439 --> 02:13:12.279 bray you and leading to hater, but you got to 2856 02:13:12.319 --> 02:13:14.039 take your role. If you're the fifth inning or long 2857 02:13:14.119 --> 02:13:17.000 relief guy, then you deal with it. And in case 2858 02:13:17.399 --> 02:13:19.520 c see, you're in the business of making sure those 2859 02:13:19.560 --> 02:13:21.920 guys what's fair to them, what's fair as they're on 2860 02:13:21.960 --> 02:13:23.600 the roster. And if you're pitching in the fourth inning 2861 02:13:23.640 --> 02:13:26.640 because we've had a three and a third performance by 2862 02:13:26.680 --> 02:13:29.840 a starting pitcher, get them out. That's his job. You 2863 02:13:29.880 --> 02:13:32.840 don't get rewarded eleven games in just because bam, you 2864 02:13:32.920 --> 02:13:36.399 know what you deserve it well, thirty five games in 2865 02:13:36.479 --> 02:13:38.399 if he's earned it and the production's not there from 2866 02:13:38.439 --> 02:13:40.199 anybody else, and got to have that guy in the 2867 02:13:40.239 --> 02:13:42.880 cent it'll work itself out. Either a performance is going 2868 02:13:42.920 --> 02:13:44.920 to keep you there or it's gonna find you. It's 2869 02:13:44.960 --> 02:13:47.159 gonna find somebody else. The glove will be on the 2870 02:13:47.199 --> 02:13:50.640 mound if you don't perform. So I'm not in the man. 2871 02:13:50.720 --> 02:13:52.800 What if the other guy's feelings are hurt, If you're 2872 02:13:52.840 --> 02:13:55.119 the fourth inning guy or long relief guy, deal with it, 2873 02:13:56.079 --> 02:13:58.239 and you want to be the seventh inning guy? Keep 2874 02:13:58.239 --> 02:14:01.159 getting people out in the fifth inning? What if okay, 2875 02:14:02.359 --> 02:14:06.960 because of a short body of work by that standard. 2876 02:14:07.000 --> 02:14:09.760 And you mentioned you're concerned about Yiner does Yiner das 2877 02:14:09.800 --> 02:14:11.960 now get set down to he should? Should he eleven 2878 02:14:12.039 --> 02:14:15.840 games in after all last year be the backup catcher? 2879 02:14:16.600 --> 02:14:19.039 Now then why are we then? Why is Taylor Scott 2880 02:14:19.119 --> 02:14:22.800 being moved out of the seventh because of five three 2881 02:14:22.920 --> 02:14:26.439 innings of appearance? After all? That a struggle in spring training? 2882 02:14:26.479 --> 02:14:29.159 But according to people out there, I hear it's just 2883 02:14:29.319 --> 02:14:31.840 spring training. Why I always say the emphasis is on 2884 02:14:31.920 --> 02:14:35.239 spre It does matter. So are we there three weeks 2885 02:14:35.279 --> 02:14:37.920 from now? Dude, now it's time to move? But are 2886 02:14:37.960 --> 02:14:39.439 we really after three innings? Singing? 2887 02:14:40.039 --> 02:14:40.279 And man? 2888 02:14:40.600 --> 02:14:42.840 We got it? Demoting And I'm not worried about King 2889 02:14:42.960 --> 02:14:46.079 or anybody else's feelings about they deserve to be the seventh. 2890 02:14:46.359 --> 02:14:47.760 You keep doing what you do in the fifth and 2891 02:14:47.840 --> 02:14:49.079 it may it may rear its head. 2892 02:14:49.199 --> 02:14:51.960 Well, it's not even just about you know, demoting and 2893 02:14:52.119 --> 02:14:54.479 promoting guys and what's fair to them, But it's about 2894 02:14:54.560 --> 02:14:57.119 to your point of roles that they've been asked to fulfill, 2895 02:14:57.279 --> 02:14:59.199 they've done it. I mean, that's a tough place to 2896 02:14:59.239 --> 02:15:01.840 put Ryan gust So even as well as he's pitched 2897 02:15:02.079 --> 02:15:04.600 in the early going last night and Sean, what does 2898 02:15:04.640 --> 02:15:04.840 he do? 2899 02:15:05.520 --> 02:15:07.680 He came through. Okay, what if Gusto you moved into 2900 02:15:07.680 --> 02:15:09.760 the year, you'd make him the seventh inning guy. And 2901 02:15:09.840 --> 02:15:11.680 I'm not I'm not blaming him. I'm blaming the guys 2902 02:15:11.720 --> 02:15:13.560 for getting one run. That's who I'm okay, Well let 2903 02:15:13.600 --> 02:15:16.319 me okay then, but if he's the seventh inning guy, 2904 02:15:17.039 --> 02:15:19.239 let let's just say you think he's a boom put 2905 02:15:19.319 --> 02:15:22.199 him in there, and he has three straight outings were 2906 02:15:22.600 --> 02:15:26.239 three innings and a third where he blew a lead 2907 02:15:26.880 --> 02:15:29.439 or didn't do what he wanted, didn't didn't preserve getting 2908 02:15:29.439 --> 02:15:31.680 to the eighth inning guy and Brian Brady, then what 2909 02:15:32.279 --> 02:15:33.720 are you want to move him out? Already? 2910 02:15:33.880 --> 02:15:35.640 Then it works itself out and you have to go 2911 02:15:35.720 --> 02:15:37.479 with somebody else that you trust to get those outs. 2912 02:15:37.640 --> 02:15:42.239 It's three innings enough. Probably you need a little bit 2913 02:15:42.279 --> 02:15:44.399 more of a sample size, and to your sample size, 2914 02:15:44.439 --> 02:15:48.319 bigger Gusto sample size or Scott sam I'm not saying 2915 02:15:48.359 --> 02:15:50.520 gust is not gonna be a star right now. If 2916 02:15:50.520 --> 02:15:52.920 you're talking about I'm just as so I'm questioning if 2917 02:15:52.960 --> 02:15:56.039 we're willing to make these decisions after three innings for 2918 02:15:56.119 --> 02:15:58.720 a guy after what he did last year, then I'd 2919 02:15:58.760 --> 02:16:01.960 suggest that we probably don't understand the grind, you and I. 2920 02:16:02.840 --> 02:16:05.439 But if you're telling me Gusto has earned at eleven 2921 02:16:05.479 --> 02:16:07.760 games in so he can unearn it in three innings 2922 02:16:07.800 --> 02:16:09.760 if he goes in there and blows two blows, two 2923 02:16:09.840 --> 02:16:12.640 opportunities to keep them in the lead. Correct, So you'd 2924 02:16:12.680 --> 02:16:15.840 want to move him out? How do we establish roles 2925 02:16:15.920 --> 02:16:19.600 defined if we're making decisions based on twenty at bats 2926 02:16:20.199 --> 02:16:24.279 or three innings? So we why if you're talking about feelings, 2927 02:16:24.319 --> 02:16:26.239 why don't we are we rewarding Scott for all the 2928 02:16:26.920 --> 02:16:29.239 stuff he was able to pull through last year and 2929 02:16:29.399 --> 02:16:31.720 keep a team together at times and in the bullpen 2930 02:16:31.800 --> 02:16:34.399 and do everything was asked? And we're if you're talking 2931 02:16:34.399 --> 02:16:37.360 about what's fair? Is it fair to run away on 2932 02:16:37.479 --> 02:16:40.600 him at three innings into a season? It doesn't mean 2933 02:16:40.600 --> 02:16:42.479 if you take it away that it can't be we 2934 02:16:42.600 --> 02:16:44.920 earned re earned, Okay, So how are you going to 2935 02:16:45.000 --> 02:16:48.360 earn poisoner? How you're going to earn the seventh inning 2936 02:16:48.399 --> 02:16:51.479 spot if your manager says, we can't put you in 2937 02:16:51.559 --> 02:16:54.479 high livered situation. We saw after body work, body work, 2938 02:16:54.520 --> 02:16:57.719 body work, they quit put Montero in those situations. But 2939 02:16:58.040 --> 02:17:00.280 it happened. There wasn't three innings worth. Hell, I gave 2940 02:17:00.319 --> 02:17:03.719 him three years worth of it. So and I'm not listening. 2941 02:17:03.719 --> 02:17:06.840 I'm not an apologist for Scott at all. My point 2942 02:17:07.000 --> 02:17:10.319 is is that I can't eleven games into the season 2943 02:17:11.000 --> 02:17:15.319 judge anybody's performance over the long hault. Now, if it continues, 2944 02:17:15.799 --> 02:17:17.719 then you're gonna have to say, listen, what's going on? 2945 02:17:17.920 --> 02:17:20.159 Is it mechanical? You got to start to look into it. 2946 02:17:20.280 --> 02:17:25.200 But I'm not willing to bury a guy's belief in 2947 02:17:25.280 --> 02:17:28.040 himself for the team's belief in him three and a 2948 02:17:28.079 --> 02:17:30.399 third innings into his twenty twenty five season. 2949 02:17:30.600 --> 02:17:33.040 Fair enough, Phadrian wants to weigh in will get you 2950 02:17:33.159 --> 02:17:36.879 into the fold. But also to a position player that 2951 02:17:37.239 --> 02:17:40.479 I'm kind of really perplexed by how he's being treated 2952 02:17:40.600 --> 02:17:43.200 right now, we'll talk about that here on the other side. 2953 02:17:43.239 --> 02:17:45.479 Shawn Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven to ninety. 2954 02:17:46.000 --> 02:17:48.360 Doctor Jeff witz It at Wits at Vision dot Com, 2955 02:17:48.680 --> 02:17:51.040 wh I T S E T T the very best 2956 02:17:51.079 --> 02:17:53.079 in the business.

But still it really was something later in 2981 02:19:07.280 --> 02:19:09.440 the game that I was like, wait a minute, what 2982 02:19:09.520 --> 02:19:13.079 are we doing here? The guy was your offense so 2983 02:19:13.280 --> 02:19:16.479 far to this point, and it was either the tenth 2984 02:19:16.639 --> 02:19:18.799 or the ninth inning is when his spot was up 2985 02:19:18.840 --> 02:19:21.040 in the order and Joe Spot had decided to go 2986 02:19:21.440 --> 02:19:25.000 with Victor Carrottini ended up working out because Karattini, oddly enough, 2987 02:19:25.120 --> 02:19:26.760 was the guy that ended up being the game winning 2988 02:19:26.840 --> 02:19:30.479 run with his RBI single. But at the time when 2989 02:19:30.520 --> 02:19:33.200 it happened, Sean I was like, you're wanting this young 2990 02:19:33.239 --> 02:19:35.920 guy to learn. You're wanting this young guy to fail 2991 02:19:36.120 --> 02:19:40.079 and succeed in different spots, and that's a spot right 2992 02:19:40.120 --> 02:19:42.399 there where you say, nah, moment's too big for you. 2993 02:19:42.559 --> 02:19:45.079 I can't have you out there right now. I just 2994 02:19:46.000 --> 02:19:48.680 again it goes back to we're gonna play him every day. 2995 02:19:48.719 --> 02:19:50.840 He's gonna be up here he's gonna play, doesn't play 2996 02:19:50.879 --> 02:19:51.879 the last couple of games. 2997 02:19:51.920 --> 02:19:52.280 I get it. 2998 02:19:52.399 --> 02:19:55.479 Working on some stuff. Sure, fine, But I mean to 2999 02:19:55.520 --> 02:19:57.000 the point you brought up when we were talking about 3000 02:19:57.000 --> 02:19:59.280 the pitching, don't you have to let these guys fail, Like, 3001 02:19:59.319 --> 02:20:00.760 don't you have to let let them go through those 3002 02:20:00.760 --> 02:20:04.120 situations to know, Hey, these happened in this league too. 3003 02:20:04.520 --> 02:20:07.600 Well, if you're talking about Cam Smith, yeah, there's I 3004 02:20:08.920 --> 02:20:11.360 He's going to play every day, one hundred and fifty games. 3005 02:20:11.799 --> 02:20:13.639 He's here for a reason. He's getting for at bats 3006 02:20:13.680 --> 02:20:15.000 a day, and he's going to play through the tough 3007 02:20:15.079 --> 02:20:17.600 times because getting hit in the mouth is the best 3008 02:20:17.639 --> 02:20:20.959 growth in the world. Now you're telling me this about 3009 02:20:21.239 --> 02:20:24.360 about Cam Smith, why aren't you telling me this about 3010 02:20:24.399 --> 02:20:27.600 Taylor Scott. You just said you want to let him 3011 02:20:27.639 --> 02:20:29.360 grow and go through punches in the face and put 3012 02:20:29.399 --> 02:20:32.959 him in pressure situations, high leverage at bats, and now 3013 02:20:33.000 --> 02:20:34.959 eleven games in three innings in you're ready to move 3014 02:20:35.040 --> 02:20:38.719 Taylor Scott out of the seventh inning stretch, says seventh 3015 02:20:38.719 --> 02:20:42.200 inning role. So why because I found that what applied 3016 02:20:42.200 --> 02:20:44.239 to book, Because Scott's been in the league a little longer. 3017 02:20:45.239 --> 02:20:46.479 I mean, that's part of it. 3018 02:20:46.680 --> 02:20:49.079 But I mean, I think it's also that Scott is 3019 02:20:49.120 --> 02:20:52.079 a guy that I feel like you probably got better 3020 02:20:52.159 --> 02:20:54.920 production than what really is his. 3021 02:20:55.200 --> 02:20:57.959 So you think he overachieved, Yes, yes, okay, I do. 3022 02:20:58.559 --> 02:20:59.159 I do so. 3023 02:20:59.639 --> 02:21:02.639 So if that's the case, why would you have him 3024 02:21:02.639 --> 02:21:04.719 in that role in the first place? If you think 3025 02:21:04.760 --> 02:21:07.399 it's over achieving it and and eventually that's the enership 3026 02:21:07.479 --> 02:21:09.360 is going to sail because because he earn those innings, 3027 02:21:09.399 --> 02:21:11.520 all right, So but but he but three innings in, 3028 02:21:11.600 --> 02:21:14.159 He's he's played his way out of it. 3029 02:21:14.799 --> 02:21:16.719 I'm not saying completely played his way out of it, 3030 02:21:16.799 --> 02:21:18.920 but I'm also saying that there are other guys that 3031 02:21:19.120 --> 02:21:22.319 have been put in the positions and have come through 3032 02:21:22.520 --> 02:21:24.559 in those spots. I mean, Stephen Okre is a guy 3033 02:21:24.680 --> 02:21:27.680 for example, you just have Monday Night happen, And I 3034 02:21:27.760 --> 02:21:28.000 get it. 3035 02:21:28.040 --> 02:21:30.040 There's right here here a while. You got a heart 3036 02:21:30.079 --> 02:21:33.000 on for for for Steven Oker, right because when the 3037 02:21:33.040 --> 02:21:36.879 guy comes out there, what does he do? He strikes performs. 3038 02:21:37.719 --> 02:21:41.040 But if he were to struggle for three games or 3039 02:21:41.200 --> 02:21:45.079 three innings, you want to move him on. I mean, 3040 02:21:45.120 --> 02:21:47.120 I get your point. I know you're getting at here, 3041 02:21:47.920 --> 02:21:51.159 don't Yeah, don't you think it's some more knee jerk 3042 02:21:51.239 --> 02:21:53.280 right now than oh, this is who the guy is. 3043 02:21:54.479 --> 02:21:56.639 I just know that this is a time of the 3044 02:21:56.719 --> 02:21:59.680 year when, as Joe Aspot has said, we don't want 3045 02:21:59.680 --> 02:22:01.559 to have this start that we had last year. And 3046 02:22:01.639 --> 02:22:02.879 I feel like if you're going with. 3047 02:22:03.040 --> 02:22:05.879 Somebody that you know they five and six eleven games 3048 02:22:05.920 --> 02:22:08.159 in right much better than they were last year. Sure, 3049 02:22:08.440 --> 02:22:09.440 So I mean that's nice. 3050 02:22:09.520 --> 02:22:11.879 And you're also getting much better pitching than you had 3051 02:22:12.000 --> 02:22:14.719 last year, either through injury or necessity whatever it was 3052 02:22:15.159 --> 02:22:18.600 that you had to completely just gas those guys year. 3053 02:22:18.600 --> 02:22:20.280 It took the best thing they had last year. 3054 02:22:20.399 --> 02:22:21.959 It was the best thing they had last year, and 3055 02:22:22.000 --> 02:22:25.239 they won the West because the pitching probably overperformed, so 3056 02:22:25.399 --> 02:22:26.040 probably it did. 3057 02:22:26.200 --> 02:22:28.920 So to get to your point, absolutely, but guys, when 3058 02:22:28.959 --> 02:22:31.000 other guys are hurt, that's the job of why guys 3059 02:22:31.040 --> 02:22:33.719 get paid and get a paycheck every two weeks. Then 3060 02:22:33.760 --> 02:22:36.280 when people get hurt, and that's the job of a department, 3061 02:22:36.399 --> 02:22:40.319 a scouting department, and a talent evaluators and of Dana 3062 02:22:40.360 --> 02:22:42.680 Brown and Joe spot A two in the minor leagues. 3063 02:22:42.719 --> 02:22:45.959 Two make sure that you are developing them. But when 3064 02:22:45.959 --> 02:22:48.600 they're presented with an opportunity as a backup. You're looking 3065 02:22:48.639 --> 02:22:50.840 for production, and you got it from a pitching staff 3066 02:22:50.879 --> 02:22:53.280 that was banged up an injury after injury and came 3067 02:22:53.319 --> 02:22:55.520 in like Scott did last year and do his thing 3068 02:22:56.000 --> 02:22:58.639 like other guys have done two years when JP Frantz 3069 02:22:58.680 --> 02:23:00.920 did his thing. Look at Renel Bloe last year. Guys 3070 02:23:00.959 --> 02:23:02.760 that you didn't expect to do what they did at 3071 02:23:02.840 --> 02:23:04.719 some point during the season actually loaded him on their 3072 02:23:04.760 --> 02:23:07.000 back and got him through some difficult times. And so 3073 02:23:07.040 --> 02:23:09.399 if we're talking about guys who've earned it, the body 3074 02:23:09.440 --> 02:23:11.399 of work from Scott last year has earned more than 3075 02:23:11.440 --> 02:23:14.159 three innings of our belief. Now, if it starts to 3076 02:23:14.200 --> 02:23:16.479 go haywire, you don't want I'm not sitting there willing 3077 02:23:16.559 --> 02:23:19.159 to sit on a guy's look for a long time 3078 02:23:19.600 --> 02:23:21.879 and say failure after failure after failure. I don't think 3079 02:23:21.879 --> 02:23:24.639 we're there yet. But getting back to your original conversation 3080 02:23:24.760 --> 02:23:27.680 about Cam Smith, if he's here, I want him to 3081 02:23:27.680 --> 02:23:29.280 play every day. I don't need him to play every 3082 02:23:29.319 --> 02:23:32.280 third day. I actually, but I'm not Dane Brown and 3083 02:23:33.120 --> 02:23:36.719 I'm not Joe Spata who's making the decisions. And if 3084 02:23:36.760 --> 02:23:38.319 you feel it's he's in over his head, which I 3085 02:23:38.360 --> 02:23:40.079 don't think he is, but they're smarter than I am. 3086 02:23:40.799 --> 02:23:43.440 Then you got to get him every day at bats. 3087 02:23:43.520 --> 02:23:46.079 But if you think he's mature enough to handle and 3088 02:23:46.159 --> 02:23:48.799 good to continue to progress by playing every second or 3089 02:23:48.879 --> 02:23:53.159 third day, then you do it. My belief would he'll 3090 02:23:53.200 --> 02:23:56.799 eventually impress daily if you let him get more at 3091 02:23:56.840 --> 02:23:58.879 bats early. That's just my I think you got to 3092 02:23:58.879 --> 02:24:01.600 see pitches from live major league pitchers, the ones that 3093 02:24:01.719 --> 02:24:04.000 can dominate you. That's how I feel. But I'm not 3094 02:24:04.079 --> 02:24:07.200 making these decisions until I guess maybe they see three 3095 02:24:07.319 --> 02:24:08.680 or four games. But you got to put him in 3096 02:24:08.719 --> 02:24:11.280 there and let him fail or let him succeed before 3097 02:24:11.319 --> 02:24:13.159 we know what we got, and I think we know 3098 02:24:13.239 --> 02:24:15.440 there's potential. But you want the other P word, which 3099 02:24:15.520 --> 02:24:18.159 is production. The question is can you get the production 3100 02:24:18.360 --> 02:24:22.520 you want playing him every other or every third day. No, 3101 02:24:22.719 --> 02:24:24.840 you can't, and I don't think you can. But then again, 3102 02:24:26.200 --> 02:24:29.000 they've done a lot. One thing Joe Spotom wanted this year, 3103 02:24:29.319 --> 02:24:32.799 it told me straight to our face, is not to 3104 02:24:32.879 --> 02:24:36.079 have too many lineup changes. They had what one hundred 3105 02:24:36.120 --> 02:24:38.040 and forty four games or something last year with different 3106 02:24:38.079 --> 02:24:43.360 lineups out of a buck sixty two. That's that's quite 3107 02:24:43.399 --> 02:24:46.719 frankly ridiculous. You want to get to the point when 3108 02:24:46.760 --> 02:24:48.920 you come that it's that it's that the norm is 3109 02:24:48.959 --> 02:24:50.639 in a different lineup that the norm is. You don't 3110 02:24:50.680 --> 02:24:53.959 have to look at the lineup card. And I would 3111 02:24:54.000 --> 02:24:55.520 love if Cam Smith didn't have to look at the 3112 02:24:55.559 --> 02:24:57.799 lineup card. And if it's not going to be that way, 3113 02:24:58.120 --> 02:25:00.600 then have him go, Rake and triple A bring him back. 3114 02:25:00.680 --> 02:25:03.280 I'm a big believer that he's on the roster and 3115 02:25:03.360 --> 02:25:06.159 earned it. But you got to keep earning it and 3116 02:25:06.680 --> 02:25:08.520 the only way to do that is keep playing him. 3117 02:25:08.520 --> 02:25:11.120 But that's a decision for people that are above our 3118 02:25:11.159 --> 02:25:13.559 pay grade when it comes to baseball managing and making 3119 02:25:13.639 --> 02:25:14.680 those personnel decisions. 3120 02:25:14.799 --> 02:25:17.040 Now, Joe Spot says he will be in the lineup today. 3121 02:25:17.079 --> 02:25:19.600 I mean, I believe it was said that they gave 3122 02:25:19.719 --> 02:25:21.360 him the last couple of days off just to work 3123 02:25:21.399 --> 02:25:23.879 on some stuff, pregame all of those other things. But 3124 02:25:24.280 --> 02:25:26.239 makes a nice play out and right field last night. 3125 02:25:26.360 --> 02:25:28.879 Comes through in a huge spot at the plate, I mean, 3126 02:25:29.000 --> 02:25:31.719 consistent at bats. I mean, that's that's more than anything. 3127 02:25:31.959 --> 02:25:32.559 Is that. 3128 02:25:32.840 --> 02:25:35.000 Yeah, there are going to be strikeouts, There is going 3129 02:25:35.079 --> 02:25:37.479 to be A goes back to the dugout and says, yeah, 3130 02:25:37.479 --> 02:25:38.520 I had no chance hitting that. 3131 02:25:38.639 --> 02:25:40.639 Well, welcome to the big leagues, kid, That's how this is. 3132 02:25:40.840 --> 02:25:42.200 You want me to point to the guys on the 3133 02:25:42.600 --> 02:25:45.959 field who have been through that. Plenty shortstop has been 3134 02:25:46.000 --> 02:25:47.879 through that, and he's been able to work his way 3135 02:25:47.879 --> 02:25:51.440 through it, and he didn't come nearly as highly acclaimed 3136 02:25:51.639 --> 02:25:54.120 as Cam Smith has. And Payne has been able to 3137 02:25:54.159 --> 02:25:56.159 work his way through being you know how he's struggling 3138 02:25:56.239 --> 02:25:59.440 this year, but the plate, discipline, the rest, we'll let 3139 02:25:59.479 --> 02:26:01.719 him work through it. And he played every day. He 3140 02:26:01.840 --> 02:26:03.639 played every frigging day, and by the end of the 3141 02:26:03.719 --> 02:26:06.920 year is rookie year. Guess what he was an ALCS 3142 02:26:07.000 --> 02:26:10.520 and the World Series Most Valuable Player, And you got 3143 02:26:10.559 --> 02:26:14.760 a guy who comes even more highly regarded than then 3144 02:26:14.879 --> 02:26:17.120 the prospects we've seen come up here in a minute, 3145 02:26:17.600 --> 02:26:19.639 and Cam Smith is that guy. I just to me, 3146 02:26:20.440 --> 02:26:22.840 unless at the expense of everybody suffering and he's an 3147 02:26:22.879 --> 02:26:24.799 out all the time, I don't think we're there by 3148 02:26:24.840 --> 02:26:27.600 any stretch yet. I would personally play him every day 3149 02:26:27.680 --> 02:26:29.639 until he either played his way into where everybody's like 3150 02:26:29.920 --> 02:26:32.360 that's the man or needed to go down and learn 3151 02:26:32.399 --> 02:26:34.000 a few things, and that's not the end of the world. 3152 02:26:34.559 --> 02:26:36.479 I think he's here to stay, especially if you give 3153 02:26:36.520 --> 02:26:38.840 him more at bats. That's just me and my opinion, 3154 02:26:38.920 --> 02:26:40.719 but that's exactly why I'm not making on the top 3155 02:26:40.799 --> 02:26:43.200 dugout step the decisions. I'd like to see him in 3156 02:26:43.239 --> 02:26:44.760 the lineup getting four bats all the time. I need 3157 02:26:44.799 --> 02:26:46.879 five hundred bats from him, and then we can start 3158 02:26:46.920 --> 02:26:48.840 to say what kind of player is he? I think 3159 02:26:48.879 --> 02:26:52.760 we know well, we believe, I think, and that's usually 3160 02:26:52.760 --> 02:26:55.799 a good steal caitalent he is. That's that's without core, 3161 02:26:55.879 --> 02:26:58.280 that's that's there can be no question about it. But 3162 02:26:58.440 --> 02:27:01.000 talent and production or two differ things.

We're for the 3199 02:28:48.600 --> 02:28:53.639 Sean Salisbury Show continues. I know we can break it 3200 02:28:53.760 --> 02:28:56.479 up and you know, forty game increments, fifty game increments, 3201 02:28:56.479 --> 02:28:58.959 however we want to do that. But eleven games in 3202 02:28:59.479 --> 02:29:02.040 just kind of it back, even if it's just a fan, 3203 02:29:03.040 --> 02:29:06.920 but you're you're immersed into this thing overall evaluation. Eleven 3204 02:29:07.000 --> 02:29:08.520 games in about your team right now? 3205 02:29:10.479 --> 02:29:13.040 Yeah, look, I think that you know, the team is 3206 02:29:13.079 --> 02:29:17.440 holding on strong. You know, we've had a couple, you know, 3207 02:29:17.959 --> 02:29:20.399 times where we didn't get that good of a start. 3208 02:29:20.920 --> 02:29:25.239 Bullpen's been pretty good, the bats still hasn't gotten on 3209 02:29:25.319 --> 02:29:29.399 all cylinders yet, you know, and we've been playing pretty 3210 02:29:29.399 --> 02:29:32.600 good defense. So look, overall, you know we're right there. 3211 02:29:33.280 --> 02:29:35.680 Just one game under five hundred eleven games in two 3212 02:29:35.719 --> 02:29:38.920 and a half out and you know, good things are coming. 3213 02:29:39.040 --> 02:29:41.200 So we feel really good about this club. 3214 02:29:41.399 --> 02:29:44.719 Hey, Dana, we've talked about defining roles and then obviously 3215 02:29:44.840 --> 02:29:47.559 the the p word of production from those guys that 3216 02:29:47.639 --> 02:29:50.040 you've defined rules for. You mentioned the bullpen has been 3217 02:29:50.079 --> 02:29:53.520 pretty good. When do you know during a season is 3218 02:29:53.559 --> 02:29:55.639 it a field thing? Is it looking at the numbers 3219 02:29:55.680 --> 02:29:58.440 alone analytics part do you say this is the guy 3220 02:29:58.479 --> 02:30:01.200 who's long release? These the three guys who take care 3221 02:30:01.200 --> 02:30:02.840 of this is our seven? Eight to nine? We know 3222 02:30:02.920 --> 02:30:05.239 who eight nine is, But when do you know that 3223 02:30:05.479 --> 02:30:08.120 seven solidified? Is it a game to game thing or 3224 02:30:08.280 --> 02:30:10.200 is it a that's our guy? And how long does 3225 02:30:10.239 --> 02:30:13.600 it take before that trust in that in the bullpen 3226 02:30:13.639 --> 02:30:16.079 and there's certain roles to find, how long does it 3227 02:30:16.120 --> 02:30:19.120 take before it hits Yeah, So you look at. 3228 02:30:19.120 --> 02:30:22.559 You look throughout the entire industry. You know, teams are 3229 02:30:22.559 --> 02:30:27.120 always value clubs are always evaluating at players. And when 3230 02:30:27.159 --> 02:30:30.159 you look at our pen, you know you're finding out 3231 02:30:30.239 --> 02:30:33.479 guys are developing, you know, like Gusta's really stepped it 3232 02:30:33.559 --> 02:30:38.079 up for you know, King has been really good. Oakurt's 3233 02:30:38.120 --> 02:30:40.959 been really good, and so you continue to let these 3234 02:30:41.000 --> 02:30:44.639 guys compete and you find spots for them where they 3235 02:30:44.719 --> 02:30:48.079 can have some success, whether you're matching lefty, lefty, righty righty. 3236 02:30:49.319 --> 02:30:51.719 You know, that's that's what you continue to do. As 3237 02:30:51.799 --> 02:30:54.639 you mentioned, the two two back end guys are pillars 3238 02:30:54.719 --> 02:30:57.719 back there, and as we continue to go through this, 3239 02:30:58.360 --> 02:31:02.079 we're we're seeing guys developed right before our eyes. And 3240 02:31:02.360 --> 02:31:04.879 so look, we feel like we've got a good group. 3241 02:31:05.440 --> 02:31:08.879 The pen has been pretty much locked down. And look, 3242 02:31:08.920 --> 02:31:11.559 when we get on all cylinders with the bat and 3243 02:31:11.639 --> 02:31:13.920 the rotation, I think that's when we're going to run off, 3244 02:31:14.040 --> 02:31:15.680 you know, seven in a row, ten in a row, 3245 02:31:17.159 --> 02:31:17.760 that kind of thing. 3246 02:31:18.319 --> 02:31:20.799 Data Brown Astro's GM for his weekly nine thirty visit 3247 02:31:20.840 --> 02:31:22.879 here on Wednesday, joins us here on the Seawan Salisbury 3248 02:31:22.920 --> 02:31:25.760 showing Sports Talk seven to ninety uh. Speaking of Taylor 3249 02:31:25.799 --> 02:31:28.559 Scott specifically, was really good for you guys last year, 3250 02:31:28.600 --> 02:31:30.559 did some great things at a time when you needed him, 3251 02:31:30.639 --> 02:31:32.680 kind of like we've mentioned Ronel Blanco in the starting 3252 02:31:32.799 --> 02:31:36.120 rotation doing stuff that like man was really good for 3253 02:31:36.239 --> 02:31:39.159 us well, eleven games in a little over three innings 3254 02:31:39.200 --> 02:31:42.079 and has not had his best stuff Dana, how istant 3255 02:31:42.120 --> 02:31:43.719 how important is it for you and Joe and the 3256 02:31:43.799 --> 02:31:48.399 team to trust what you see eleven games into a 3257 02:31:48.479 --> 02:31:50.879 season that he is going to turn it around, not 3258 02:31:51.000 --> 02:31:54.079 only for your team but for his psyche. How important 3259 02:31:54.159 --> 02:31:55.760 is it to trust early and let him pitch in 3260 02:31:55.840 --> 02:31:59.159 high leverage situations, to pitch through the trouble. 3261 02:32:00.959 --> 02:32:01.159 Yeah. 3262 02:32:01.239 --> 02:32:03.479 Look, so when you talk about a guy like Scott, 3263 02:32:03.559 --> 02:32:06.000 you know, he's got really good stuff. You know, he's competitive, 3264 02:32:06.079 --> 02:32:09.159 he gave you a good year last year. And sometimes 3265 02:32:09.239 --> 02:32:13.159 guys lose confidence, but you know, you you stick with 3266 02:32:13.280 --> 02:32:14.920 them and you try to put him in spots where 3267 02:32:14.959 --> 02:32:19.120 they could succeed. And so I think we'll continue to 3268 02:32:19.200 --> 02:32:23.000 build him up and build his confidence. And you know, 3269 02:32:23.079 --> 02:32:25.520 the stuff still looks pretty good from a scouting eye, 3270 02:32:26.120 --> 02:32:28.719 you know, and from data wise, he still looks pretty good. 3271 02:32:28.959 --> 02:32:31.600 You know. It's just you got to make pitch certain 3272 02:32:31.639 --> 02:32:34.399 pitches at certain times and you have to trust the stuff. 3273 02:32:34.879 --> 02:32:35.040 You know. 3274 02:32:35.360 --> 02:32:38.920 Uh, Pitchers go through this all the time, you know, 3275 02:32:38.959 --> 02:32:41.520 where they lose lose some confidence and then you know 3276 02:32:41.600 --> 02:32:43.840 they just have to restore it a little bit. Uh. 3277 02:32:44.079 --> 02:32:45.920 But make no mistake, we think he's going to be 3278 02:32:46.079 --> 02:32:49.159 one of our you know, pillars down down the stretch 3279 02:32:49.280 --> 02:32:50.360 in the middle of our. 3280 02:32:50.920 --> 02:32:54.280 Bullpit to you, has he lost confidence? Danny Uran. We 3281 02:32:54.360 --> 02:32:56.280 talk about you being around hanging when you feel like 3282 02:32:56.360 --> 02:32:58.239 a guy's done that, you kind of go around, rub 3283 02:32:58.360 --> 02:33:00.159 shoulders with him and tell him to stick with it. 3284 02:33:00.440 --> 02:33:03.200 We've had this conversation about other players. Where is he 3285 02:33:03.479 --> 02:33:05.440 when you look into his eye and when you when 3286 02:33:05.479 --> 02:33:08.000 you see him. Where's his confidence level right now? 3287 02:33:09.159 --> 02:33:09.319 Yeah? 3288 02:33:09.399 --> 02:33:11.680 I just think it's the confidence and trusting your stuff, 3289 02:33:11.840 --> 02:33:14.440 not so much the mental confidence. Just trust your stuff, 3290 02:33:15.000 --> 02:33:17.399 remember that your stuff can play at the major league level. 3291 02:33:18.239 --> 02:33:20.520 Don't try to nibble, you know, don't try to pitch 3292 02:33:20.600 --> 02:33:23.559 on the edges all the time. You know, oftentimes you 3293 02:33:23.639 --> 02:33:25.360 got a challenge the hitter. You got to get in 3294 02:33:25.440 --> 02:33:28.280 the zone early, and you have to avoid those walks 3295 02:33:28.319 --> 02:33:31.680 and avoid falling behind. And you fall behind. Look, this 3296 02:33:31.840 --> 02:33:33.559 is the big leagues. If you fall behind, these major 3297 02:33:33.639 --> 02:33:36.200 league hitters will make you pay. And so I think 3298 02:33:36.239 --> 02:33:40.000 it's more, Hey, trust your stuff, you know, regain your 3299 02:33:40.040 --> 02:33:43.280 confidence in your stuff, and remember that your stuff is 3300 02:33:43.319 --> 02:33:45.920 the same. Just go in his zone and you're going 3301 02:33:45.959 --> 02:33:48.440 to be fine. And I think he's starting to understand that. 3302 02:33:49.159 --> 02:33:51.799 And you know, look, he's seeing some of his you know, 3303 02:33:51.920 --> 02:33:54.639 other teammates that are really having some success right now, 3304 02:33:54.719 --> 02:33:56.159 and he could help build off that. 3305 02:33:57.280 --> 02:33:59.680 Dany, you've been one of baseball's before you came here 3306 02:33:59.719 --> 02:34:01.159 to land in here, one of the you know, cut 3307 02:34:01.239 --> 02:34:04.520 your teeth but being a great talent evaluator and seeing 3308 02:34:04.559 --> 02:34:06.520 it and now's a GM role doing all the things 3309 02:34:06.600 --> 02:34:10.040 you have to do there plus seeing talent. So let's 3310 02:34:10.040 --> 02:34:11.879 get to Yan Das. You told us on this show 3311 02:34:12.200 --> 02:34:14.280 that he was the future at catcher when Maldy was 3312 02:34:14.360 --> 02:34:16.680 here and you were spot on, which allowed you guys 3313 02:34:16.719 --> 02:34:18.799 to move Corey Lee. All right, so here we are 3314 02:34:18.879 --> 02:34:21.239 now in a wonderful year last year, a guy that's 3315 02:34:21.280 --> 02:34:24.319 reeling a little bit. Take yourself out of the GM role. 3316 02:34:24.799 --> 02:34:26.719 You and I are sitting in the ballpark and we've 3317 02:34:26.799 --> 02:34:31.959 watched eleven games. What's your swing evaluation for YANR. Das 3318 02:34:32.040 --> 02:34:34.360 right now, not counting last year, what you're seeing eleven 3319 02:34:34.440 --> 02:34:35.159 games in this year? 3320 02:34:36.840 --> 02:34:39.040 Yeah, I think you put your arms around them and 3321 02:34:39.120 --> 02:34:40.719 you sit and talk to them. You pull them to 3322 02:34:40.799 --> 02:34:43.079 the side and you say, look, you know you can 3323 02:34:43.200 --> 02:34:45.399 hit at the big league level. We already know that. 3324 02:34:46.200 --> 02:34:48.280 What you have to do is just get a good pitch, 3325 02:34:48.639 --> 02:34:51.920 be patient, don't try to do too much. Oftentimes the 3326 02:34:52.000 --> 02:34:54.399 players will try to do too much and they'll come 3327 02:34:54.479 --> 02:34:56.600 out of themselves and they'll come out of their swing, 3328 02:34:56.799 --> 02:34:58.639 and you know, and I think it's one of those 3329 02:34:58.680 --> 02:35:01.479 cases where he's trying to do too much. And I think, 3330 02:35:01.639 --> 02:35:04.319 right now, if we could just get him to look, 3331 02:35:04.520 --> 02:35:09.120 be disciplined, don't chase, make the picture, come into the 3332 02:35:09.159 --> 02:35:11.920 strike zone, don't try to do too much. I think 3333 02:35:12.000 --> 02:35:14.799 that's the speech we would give him because he's trying 3334 02:35:14.799 --> 02:35:17.440 to do too much. Look, the kid it to ninety 3335 02:35:17.559 --> 02:35:19.600 nine last year with a bunch of home runs, and 3336 02:35:19.680 --> 02:35:22.360 he knows he's got a good ops and all those 3337 02:35:22.440 --> 02:35:25.479 good things when you talk about the numbers. But you know, 3338 02:35:25.639 --> 02:35:29.680 sometimes it's as simple as simplifying it and saying, look, 3339 02:35:30.879 --> 02:35:34.600 look for a strike and do damage. Lay off the 3340 02:35:34.680 --> 02:35:37.360 off speed, lay off the stuff that's out of the zone, 3341 02:35:37.479 --> 02:35:40.360 don't get the picture to get you to expand his zone. 3342 02:35:40.840 --> 02:35:43.200 And I think that's that's where our speech is right 3343 02:35:43.280 --> 02:35:45.440 now for him. And that's kind of like how I 3344 02:35:45.520 --> 02:35:47.079 see it. I think he's going to heat up, no 3345 02:35:47.239 --> 02:35:50.760 doubt about it. This guy's way too talented of a hitter, 3346 02:35:51.319 --> 02:35:55.000 and so you know, frustration grows when guys start off 3347 02:35:55.120 --> 02:35:58.239 slow and they struggle, but you just have to keep 3348 02:35:58.319 --> 02:36:00.200 him mentally strong. 3349 02:36:00.760 --> 02:36:03.159 Dana, what kind of guy numbers wise, Like, let's just 3350 02:36:03.440 --> 02:36:05.959 play pay it forward a decade from now? What kind 3351 02:36:06.000 --> 02:36:09.200 of consistent numbers guys at the plate average RBI? 3352 02:36:09.559 --> 02:36:10.079 Who is he? 3353 02:36:10.280 --> 02:36:12.559 Home runs? What kind of guy? When you said, here's 3354 02:36:12.600 --> 02:36:15.600 the numbers I expect from Yiner, what do they look like? 3355 02:36:17.319 --> 02:36:20.719 Yeah, I mean I expect Jiner to you know, hit 3356 02:36:20.879 --> 02:36:24.719 somewhere near two eighty to three hundred, you know, twenty 3357 02:36:24.799 --> 02:36:27.520 plus home runs with an over an eight hundred ops 3358 02:36:28.319 --> 02:36:30.840 at the catcher spot. Right, He's done that and people 3359 02:36:30.879 --> 02:36:32.879 will doing that. Did it in twenty three, did it 3360 02:36:33.000 --> 02:36:35.440 in twenty four, and we feel like he'll do it 3361 02:36:35.520 --> 02:36:38.559 in twenty five. You know, it's not you know, those 3362 02:36:38.600 --> 02:36:42.239 are attainable numbers, and he's already you know, shown that 3363 02:36:42.319 --> 02:36:44.799 he could do that, and so you know, that's pretty 3364 02:36:44.879 --> 02:36:46.520 much who he is. You know, he's a guy that 3365 02:36:46.559 --> 02:36:49.399 can hit, you know, somewhere in that sixth sixth slot 3366 02:36:50.040 --> 02:36:53.239 and you know, do some damage. And so we know 3367 02:36:53.399 --> 02:36:56.440 that it will come. You know, oftentimes as I mentioned before, 3368 02:36:56.559 --> 02:36:58.399 the hitters are a little bit of head of the 3369 02:36:58.799 --> 02:37:01.280 pitchers are a little bit ahead of the hitters. And 3370 02:37:01.479 --> 02:37:03.719 so you know, guys are still getting at timing right, 3371 02:37:04.120 --> 02:37:07.079 They're still locking in on the zone, and so I 3372 02:37:07.120 --> 02:37:08.920 would expect good things coming from yer. 3373 02:37:09.120 --> 02:37:09.360 Danny. 3374 02:37:09.399 --> 02:37:12.239 You've watched young talent flourish Ronald Acuna. You've seen it 3375 02:37:12.319 --> 02:37:15.079 happen here as well, guys, Jiner being one of them 3376 02:37:15.360 --> 02:37:18.239 when he got the job full time. So let's talk 3377 02:37:18.319 --> 02:37:20.520 cam Smith and just from you know, we get questions 3378 02:37:20.559 --> 02:37:22.879 on this show and I always break one to you 3379 02:37:22.920 --> 02:37:25.920 about Okay, help us with this because you're more expert 3380 02:37:26.000 --> 02:37:29.760 than we are. Can Cam Smith be? And I know 3381 02:37:29.920 --> 02:37:32.000 that Joe puts the lineup and you've always deferred to 3382 02:37:32.040 --> 02:37:35.200 that saying Joe makes the lineup decisions. But from your 3383 02:37:35.360 --> 02:37:38.680 evaluation standpoint, can a guy get better on the major 3384 02:37:38.760 --> 02:37:42.399 league level at his age playing once every three days 3385 02:37:42.520 --> 02:37:44.879 or once every other day? Should do we need five 3386 02:37:45.000 --> 02:37:47.040 hundred at bats as a rookie for us to see 3387 02:37:47.040 --> 02:37:48.000 who Cam Smith is. 3388 02:37:49.639 --> 02:37:51.840 Yeah, And the answer the first question, guys do get 3389 02:37:51.920 --> 02:37:54.360 better at the major league level. It happens every year 3390 02:37:54.760 --> 02:37:58.280 every time guys develop, you know, they get up there 3391 02:37:58.360 --> 02:38:00.639 when they're young. I think Cam Smith's gonna be all right. 3392 02:38:00.719 --> 02:38:04.520 He's still controlling the zone. You know, pictures that they've 3393 02:38:04.559 --> 02:38:07.559 been pitching him pretty tough. I think last last night's 3394 02:38:07.559 --> 02:38:10.440 triple was a, you know, a big stepping stone for 3395 02:38:10.559 --> 02:38:12.680 him because he was going through a down period. I mean, 3396 02:38:12.799 --> 02:38:16.120 sometimes we have to realize these guys, they struggle when 3397 02:38:16.120 --> 02:38:17.559 they come up to the big leagues. You know, I 3398 02:38:17.600 --> 02:38:20.559 remember when Bregman first came up, he struggled a little bit. 3399 02:38:20.680 --> 02:38:22.920 Tucker first came up, he struggled a little bit. They 3400 02:38:22.920 --> 02:38:24.399 were right in the same area. 3401 02:38:25.000 --> 02:38:25.680 Uh you know. 3402 02:38:25.840 --> 02:38:29.120 In fact, I think Bregman was like one for twenty 3403 02:38:29.200 --> 02:38:33.600 eight or something like that. I mean, yeah, yeah, he's 3404 02:38:33.680 --> 02:38:37.239 been to young players and you know, make no mistake, 3405 02:38:37.319 --> 02:38:39.840 this guy competed at a high level in college. He 3406 02:38:39.959 --> 02:38:42.079 got some minor n get back. He came into camp. 3407 02:38:42.520 --> 02:38:45.079 You know, he made this team because he played hard 3408 02:38:45.159 --> 02:38:49.360 and played well. He's really developing in right field, and uh, 3409 02:38:49.600 --> 02:38:51.319 you know, getting him in there with the action of 3410 02:38:51.479 --> 02:38:55.040 his look. Understand that you have the talent to play 3411 02:38:55.079 --> 02:38:57.200 at the major league level. We've seen a lot of 3412 02:38:57.280 --> 02:38:59.920 young players come up and do well and you know, 3413 02:39:00.120 --> 02:39:02.280 we think that this guy can really turn the corner. 3414 02:39:02.719 --> 02:39:06.280 And at some point, you know, you guys will see that, 3415 02:39:06.520 --> 02:39:10.200 oh wow, he's back. So he's getting there and he's 3416 02:39:10.239 --> 02:39:12.559 buying in, you know, to what he needs to buy 3417 02:39:12.600 --> 02:39:14.559 into to get to hit at the big league level. 3418 02:39:15.280 --> 02:39:17.680 But make no mistake, we feel really good about cam 3419 02:39:17.799 --> 02:39:18.799 Smith in his future here. 3420 02:39:18.920 --> 02:39:21.200 Yeah, I love him. I think his energy's off the charts, 3421 02:39:21.239 --> 02:39:24.239 and he adds something that that did h And I 3422 02:39:24.280 --> 02:39:26.280 think there's a mental toughness from my vantage point, but 3423 02:39:26.360 --> 02:39:29.559 you know better than I. Okay, eleven games in, has 3424 02:39:29.600 --> 02:39:32.719 there been somebody that say, wow, this is a pleasant 3425 02:39:32.799 --> 02:39:36.200 surprise for us already that you're saying, damn, we're getting 3426 02:39:36.200 --> 02:39:38.479 more out of him than I actually even expected. Who 3427 02:39:38.600 --> 02:39:39.239 is that body? 3428 02:39:40.920 --> 02:39:44.360 Well, look, we Rogers got off to a pretty good start. 3429 02:39:44.559 --> 02:39:46.520 You know he uh, you know, he took a o 3430 02:39:46.680 --> 02:39:50.159 for last night, but you know he's he's been swinging 3431 02:39:50.200 --> 02:39:53.879 the back pretty well. And and so with us needing 3432 02:39:54.000 --> 02:39:57.000 some you know, some offense at second base by one 3433 02:39:57.000 --> 02:39:59.879 once we put two vay and left, you know, we've 3434 02:40:00.000 --> 02:40:01.920 I really feel like this guy could turn the corner 3435 02:40:02.520 --> 02:40:05.600 and get back to you know what he was you know, 3436 02:40:05.680 --> 02:40:07.399 a few years ago, you know, when he hit over 3437 02:40:07.440 --> 02:40:10.200 to eighty one a gold glove, he was a you know, 3438 02:40:10.280 --> 02:40:12.440 he was within the top five picks in the draft. 3439 02:40:12.479 --> 02:40:14.879 I think it was like third in the country. So 3440 02:40:15.040 --> 02:40:17.239 this is a talented player that kind of lost his 3441 02:40:17.319 --> 02:40:20.120 way a little bit. And he's you know, he's headed 3442 02:40:20.200 --> 02:40:22.479 in the right direction. And you know, he got off 3443 02:40:22.559 --> 02:40:24.799 to a pretty good start with us. As I mentioned, 3444 02:40:24.840 --> 02:40:27.639 he went oh for last night. But this guy's got 3445 02:40:27.719 --> 02:40:29.520 a chance to turn the corner and be a nice 3446 02:40:29.600 --> 02:40:32.120 piece for us, you know at the second base position. 3447 02:40:32.280 --> 02:40:33.920 Danny, you and I talked last year about you know, 3448 02:40:34.040 --> 02:40:36.479 small ball can be a really good thing when you're 3449 02:40:36.520 --> 02:40:38.879 not driving it and getting slugging everybody. Now that's what 3450 02:40:39.239 --> 02:40:42.120 we're looking for. But back to back nights, even though 3451 02:40:42.360 --> 02:40:44.879 one got you got beat by a bunt, good moving 3452 02:40:44.959 --> 02:40:47.600 him over, and then you executed a bunt, and then 3453 02:40:47.840 --> 02:40:49.799 last night the same way. I mean, well, I know 3454 02:40:49.879 --> 02:40:51.559 we're not getting caught up in the butt thing. Small 3455 02:40:51.600 --> 02:40:53.959 ball matters and moving runners over. That had to be 3456 02:40:54.040 --> 02:40:56.479 a pleasant for you to see that you can win 3457 02:40:56.600 --> 02:40:57.319 that way as well. 3458 02:40:59.000 --> 02:41:01.159 Yeah, small ball was. I thought it was a great 3459 02:41:01.200 --> 02:41:03.760 win last night. It was a team win. We pretty 3460 02:41:03.840 --> 02:41:06.959 much had to use our entire bench. That's what it's 3461 02:41:07.000 --> 02:41:09.280 all about. You know, you go deep into these games, 3462 02:41:09.680 --> 02:41:11.879 especially when you go in the extra innings, you know 3463 02:41:12.040 --> 02:41:13.799 somebody's gonna have to come out and be the hero. 3464 02:41:14.040 --> 02:41:16.799 And last night, you know, Taratini came up with a 3465 02:41:16.840 --> 02:41:19.200 big hit. You know, we got Cam the had to 3466 02:41:19.280 --> 02:41:22.760 triple those two guys provided the RBIs. It was a 3467 02:41:22.879 --> 02:41:25.719 total team effort. The bullpen was really good. They came 3468 02:41:25.760 --> 02:41:28.559 in and shut the door, and so look that's a 3469 02:41:28.639 --> 02:41:31.799 big team win, a big confidence builder. You know, we 3470 02:41:31.920 --> 02:41:34.520 got a good one to night this afternoon and hopefully, 3471 02:41:35.559 --> 02:41:37.239 you know, we'll get to five hundred today and go 3472 02:41:37.360 --> 02:41:39.760 home at five hundred and get a chance to come 3473 02:41:39.799 --> 02:41:42.360 in there and win some games at Dyking Park. 3474 02:41:42.479 --> 02:41:48.200 Should there be a soul in Houston worried about Jordon's 3475 02:41:48.280 --> 02:41:51.079 power or is that gonna just come in bunches like 3476 02:41:51.159 --> 02:41:52.479 we usually expect to see it. 3477 02:41:54.040 --> 02:41:56.280 Yeah, we go home runs coming bunches all the time. 3478 02:41:56.879 --> 02:42:01.239 I wouldn't worry about Jordon's power. Look, if you're worried 3479 02:42:01.239 --> 02:42:03.000 about your and out of tower, I thank you. Probably 3480 02:42:04.040 --> 02:42:07.680 this guy got as much power as anybody in this game. 3481 02:42:07.840 --> 02:42:11.760 I mean, this guy can power light power power. I mean, 3482 02:42:11.840 --> 02:42:14.120 this guy hits balls really far. I'm not worried about 3483 02:42:14.120 --> 02:42:16.920 his power. I think he's he's gonna be fine. Uh. 3484 02:42:17.079 --> 02:42:18.959 You know, he got off to somewhat of a slow start, 3485 02:42:19.040 --> 02:42:21.760 got a big home run the other day, you know, 3486 02:42:22.040 --> 02:42:24.079 and you know they've been pitching him tough. I've been 3487 02:42:24.159 --> 02:42:27.000 running from him and he's taking his walks. You know, 3488 02:42:27.399 --> 02:42:29.639 It's just it just goes to show. Like, Look, it's 3489 02:42:29.719 --> 02:42:33.760 a long season for a reason. You know, you guys 3490 02:42:33.840 --> 02:42:36.600 have heard me say multiple times on the show. It's 3491 02:42:36.639 --> 02:42:38.879 a it's a marathime, not a sprint, you know. And 3492 02:42:38.959 --> 02:42:40.719 this is not for the faint at heart. You know, 3493 02:42:40.879 --> 02:42:44.399 you have to continue to grind, continue to do things right, 3494 02:42:44.520 --> 02:42:47.159 continue to do things right that helps you win ball games. 3495 02:42:47.639 --> 02:42:49.719 And you know, we'll get through the season on top. 3496 02:42:49.879 --> 02:42:53.319 And I have full confidence in this team, our coaching staff, 3497 02:42:53.719 --> 02:42:55.840 and I know our fans are back in us. So look, 3498 02:42:55.959 --> 02:42:58.239 we're ready to go. It's just that we just got 3499 02:42:58.360 --> 02:43:00.840 to get hot right now. We're right there and there 3500 02:43:00.920 --> 02:43:03.920 five hundred, and as I always say, you get hot, 3501 02:43:04.120 --> 02:43:05.879 you're at five hundred. You get hot, you run off 3502 02:43:05.959 --> 02:43:07.479 five in a row, seven in a row. Before you 3503 02:43:07.520 --> 02:43:09.959 know you're five games over, you're seven games over and 3504 02:43:10.239 --> 02:43:11.120 good things are happening. 3505 02:43:11.239 --> 02:43:14.159 Yeah, no time, we have to keep grinding. 3506 02:43:14.239 --> 02:43:16.239 Yeah, No, twelve and twenty four start this year, which 3507 02:43:16.280 --> 02:43:19.200 is a good thing. Real quick data update on Spencer aarraghetti. 3508 02:43:21.280 --> 02:43:25.520 Yeah, freak accident. You know, he's being evaluated. You know, 3509 02:43:25.639 --> 02:43:28.440 it looks like you know, it's gonna be some time, 3510 02:43:28.600 --> 02:43:31.479 and we're gonna still need some time to get the 3511 02:43:31.559 --> 02:43:36.120 full evaluation, but at least it's gonna be you know, 3512 02:43:36.239 --> 02:43:39.879 I would say, you know, six weeks or so. You know, 3513 02:43:39.959 --> 02:43:42.440 hopefully some guys feel a lot faster and you know 3514 02:43:42.559 --> 02:43:46.159 they can come back a little sooner. But look, ultimately, 3515 02:43:46.639 --> 02:43:50.319 it's one of those freak accidents. And man, it really 3516 02:43:50.680 --> 02:43:54.879 it really hurts you lose the starter. Yeah, it really 3517 02:43:55.120 --> 02:43:55.719 really hurts. 3518 02:43:56.600 --> 02:43:59.000 How does that rotation look now, though? How do you 3519 02:43:59.079 --> 02:44:00.959 move it around real quick? I don't want to keep 3520 02:44:01.000 --> 02:44:02.360 you much longer. How do you move it around with 3521 02:44:02.399 --> 02:44:03.000 Spencer out? 3522 02:44:04.120 --> 02:44:07.000 Yeah, there's a chance that we're gonna put Gusto in 3523 02:44:07.079 --> 02:44:09.479 there to fill that spot. You know, he's been a 3524 02:44:09.559 --> 02:44:11.959 starter for us. We we broke camp with him in 3525 02:44:12.000 --> 02:44:14.319 the pin. But we knew at some point we're gonna 3526 02:44:14.319 --> 02:44:15.799 have to build him back up because we had some 3527 02:44:15.920 --> 02:44:18.680 of our bullpen guys that were down, like Fort and Whitley, 3528 02:44:19.079 --> 02:44:21.040 and so we just were probably gonna you know, he 3529 02:44:21.040 --> 02:44:23.559 would have been the first guy coming up from Triple A, 3530 02:44:23.719 --> 02:44:28.079 so it probably slide Gusto into into that start, you know, 3531 02:44:28.360 --> 02:44:31.760 and then you know, we we'll shape up with Valdez Brown. 3532 02:44:32.680 --> 02:44:36.719 You know, Gusto Blanco west Netski. West Netski's throwing the 3533 02:44:36.760 --> 02:44:39.719 ball very well. So he's been that pleasant you know 3534 02:44:39.879 --> 02:44:42.040 surprise that you talked about if you're talking about a 3535 02:44:42.079 --> 02:44:44.959 guy is from the pitching standpoint that really had stepped it, 3536 02:44:45.399 --> 02:44:48.239 or he's been really good up to ninety seven, you know, 3537 02:44:48.360 --> 02:44:51.719 which is really really good. So it looks great with 3538 02:44:51.799 --> 02:44:54.479 the scouting guy too. So look, we were still in 3539 02:44:54.559 --> 02:44:56.799 pretty good shape, you know. Uh, you know, we don't 3540 02:44:56.840 --> 02:44:59.440 want anything else to happen. Uh, but we still we 3541 02:44:59.520 --> 02:45:02.040 feel like we're there is still pretty good shape. And look, 3542 02:45:02.159 --> 02:45:04.520 sometimes these guys will get hurt, they come back, they'll 3543 02:45:04.520 --> 02:45:06.559 be a shot in the arm later and they'll help 3544 02:45:06.600 --> 02:45:09.399 you ride it out all way to the end. So uh, 3545 02:45:09.760 --> 02:45:12.399 well we'll make the adjustment and we'll be fine in 3546 02:45:12.479 --> 02:45:12.920 a rotation. 3547 02:45:13.040 --> 02:45:13.200 Yeah. 3548 02:45:13.239 --> 02:45:16.319 Go still gives you a little bandwidth and versatility, which 3549 02:45:16.399 --> 02:45:18.319 is nice.
