Speaker 1: Salisbury. Oh, very Salisbury Houston.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's do this Sewn Salisbury to usc Troup's longtime
Speaker 2: friend Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 3: Dan Matthew, excuse, this is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 1: Here's the one up ground ball toward the middle.
Speaker 4: Mauricio Dubon playing there, the short stuff just to the left.
Speaker 1: Of second base. He throws out Tucker and that's the
Speaker 1: third out of the end, the one oh.
Speaker 5: And that's in high in the air to the left,
Speaker 5: over toward the corner, over his hat on the warning
Speaker 5: track at the wall looking up see Atlanta d of
Speaker 5: Atlantris Crawford boxes hot al two May with a two
Speaker 5: run homer and the Astros lead two to.
Speaker 1: H thing l two as thirteen. He's a time the two.
Speaker 5: Playing in a mess overpowered them with a ninety nine
Speaker 5: mile r ball and down Gohost Watson side retired Brian
Speaker 5: Aprayu six up, six down, complete two innings of relief
Speaker 5: for the first time in nearly two years.
Speaker 1: They could have brought Babooth.
Speaker 5: The pitch is popped up first base side foul ground
Speaker 5: das over by the Astros dugout as a.
Speaker 1: Play, makes the catch and fat is the ball game.
Speaker 5: The Houston Astros take two out of three from the
Speaker 5: Chicago Cubs wedding today, two to nothing. Jose Altuve the
Speaker 5: big swing, and the Astros arms did the rest.
Speaker 6: Indeed they did, Robert Ford in indeed that is true,
Speaker 6: cho aspata, And with that we say away we go
Speaker 6: in Good morning here on the Sean Salisbury Show Sports
Speaker 6: Talk seven ninety. You just heard Robert Ford give you
Speaker 6: the details of how yesterday at dyke In Park went
Speaker 6: Sean six games, five of them in the correct column.
Speaker 6: And Theros now with an off day before you start
Speaker 6: up six games on the road, first three against the
Speaker 6: Rockies in Colorado and then the end of the week
Speaker 6: in your old neck of the woods against the defending
Speaker 6: world champs.
Speaker 1: Absolutely be this should be an opportunity. Well, they should
Speaker 1: go dominate Colorado. Right, we'll get to that as the
Speaker 1: week wears on July fourth week, mind you, so sure
Speaker 1: a lot of people are getting on their vacations and
Speaker 1: doing their thing. Good morning, and I hope you got all.
Speaker 1: They're starting to pop the fireworks already. I heard it
Speaker 1: last night. A little premature, right, just just a tad early.
Speaker 1: Save those dogs, let them have a little reskp say yeah,
Speaker 1: one night, I understand, but don't make it seven right. Yeah?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 1: It was a good, good weekend. They take care of
Speaker 1: another series and pitching has been lights out other than
Speaker 1: the aberration, which I'm sure we'll get into Saturday, which
Speaker 1: begs the question, who what are we going to get
Speaker 1: in this city? Getter? What is he going to get
Speaker 1: the colors out of his game? Where's it going? I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the future now, Just what happens Saturday? What's
Speaker 1: going on? Because unfortunately for he and Gusta, it was
Speaker 1: a rough Saturday, you know what I'm saying. But you
Speaker 1: know it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. I guess it
Speaker 1: happened to happen. When it happens to a guy who's
Speaker 1: been hurt and has shown flashes of brilliance in the
Speaker 1: ups and downs, I think it begs the question where
Speaker 1: do you go from here? Right? And it does, so
Speaker 1: we'll get into that. But you know you're gonna have
Speaker 1: those in the Cubs are a good team. They took
Speaker 1: advantage of it and a couple of huge innings and
Speaker 1: on Saturday, but bounce back and from Weer just mows
Speaker 1: him down, man, he just did did his thing with
Speaker 1: great help from the bullpen, and the back ended their
Speaker 1: did their gig and Al two ve got the clutch
Speaker 1: hit again over and weren't overly explosive offensively on Sunday,
Speaker 1: but they got the key hit when needed, and a
Speaker 1: pitching when you don't give up much or any, you
Speaker 1: don't lose, and it doesn't matter if you score one.
Speaker 1: When you don't give up any. It looks like you
Speaker 1: beat him seventeen to one. But it was other than
Speaker 1: the trip up on saturd which I'm sure a lot
Speaker 1: of people will end up focusing on. The good stuff
Speaker 1: is is that they're what fifty and thirty four or
Speaker 1: something right on the number. You just got ready four
Speaker 1: right there. It's it's pretty spectacular the way that they're playing.
Speaker 1: And and you know, go and dominate the next few
Speaker 1: weeks and get yourself into the All Star break feeling
Speaker 1: comfortable and hopefully closer to health.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 6: Now, I think both of those things are important details.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, we have Dana Brown on every
Speaker 6: single Sunday for Astro launch with Robert Ford, and he
Speaker 6: went through some of those things. We'll get to those,
Speaker 6: but I mean you know the good before we get
Speaker 6: to like you said, the Saturday is, I mean, first
Speaker 6: and foremost, I think offensively the good Cam Smith. He's
Speaker 6: not afraid man, I mean he It's one of those
Speaker 6: now where I think that he believed that he could.
Speaker 6: Now he knows that he can. And Friday night it
Speaker 6: was all right, you guys trade me.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 6: And I thought that was pretty interesting from Dana Brown
Speaker 6: yesterday where they revisited the trade and he straight up said,
Speaker 6: he goes. We told them if he's not in this deal,
Speaker 6: we're not making this deal.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. I got to turn my mic on.
Speaker 1: I believe the only reason they ended up making the
Speaker 1: deal is because that the closing part of that deal
Speaker 1: was it's him or we don't do this. I don't
Speaker 1: see how judging from the name before they even came here,
Speaker 1: the names involved it was Nesky and what uh and
Speaker 1: and perettis they and then you Cam wasn't the throw in.
Speaker 1: Cam was d piece for them to do. And you
Speaker 1: can see Go rolls right through spring training kicks but
Speaker 1: comes in here and has gotten better the whole time.
Speaker 1: Even when he went through the lull early like young
Speaker 1: players do, he was remember the question I asked when
Speaker 1: we talked about I said, how will he handle failure
Speaker 1: and success? That that's what will judge me, not when
Speaker 1: he goes over for how he handles it, because he'll
Speaker 1: go through those where he's sit in one ninety seven,
Speaker 1: and he'll go through where he's had a couple of
Speaker 1: games where he's good, and then somewhere he feels overwhelmed
Speaker 1: and you know, adjusting to right field and all that
Speaker 1: and at the plate. But they saw something and he
Speaker 1: proved that and he earned that right because the way
Speaker 1: he played in the spring, he just dominated and he
Speaker 1: gave him as I say, he made it impossible for
Speaker 1: them not to keep him if impossible exists, but about
Speaker 1: as impossible as it can for a young prospect trying
Speaker 1: to get a shot at a major league level. Early,
Speaker 1: he did everything possible to say there's no way you
Speaker 1: can send me down. And then when they kept him
Speaker 1: up here through the struggles, he just fought through it
Speaker 1: and kept going. And now you got him where you
Speaker 1: trust him in the four hole, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's he's different, and you could say people could
Speaker 1: say what everything want. I know, it's young and in
Speaker 1: infancy his career, but you can see it with the
Speaker 1: naked eye. It's not hard. And then you talk about
Speaker 1: all the deep stuff that's scouting and the manager and
Speaker 1: all the people who do their due diligence and part
Speaker 1: of this trade to get him. What makes him special,
Speaker 1: that's for them to decide, because they see him every day,
Speaker 1: how he prepares and does this thing. We kind of
Speaker 1: see it from a distance, but from a distance it's
Speaker 1: pretty simple to see why. I'm always asking the question why,
Speaker 1: and he answers it and has gotten better all year long.
Speaker 1: He's a special player, and I'm with him. You don't
Speaker 1: get to have Kyle Tucker and a guy who's an
Speaker 1: All Star and an MVP candidate. Damn near feels like
Speaker 1: when he's healthy every year, you don't get to have him.
Speaker 1: And then turn around and give us, you know, some players,
Speaker 1: but without giving us a guy who we expect to
Speaker 1: be We got rid of the guy and now going
Speaker 1: in and I'm not sure they thought he was going
Speaker 1: to be a right fielder, but we got rid of
Speaker 1: a guy who's a got ten years of great baseball
Speaker 1: left in him. And then you bring in a guy
Speaker 1: that you're hoping has that kind of baseball in him. Well,
Speaker 1: what a brilliant move to say, it's either cam Smith
Speaker 1: and this deal is not happening. And look what he's
Speaker 1: done here, and look with Kyle it's worked. It's not
Speaker 1: always that trade works both ways for both teams. At
Speaker 1: least are in the infancy of it. And it has
Speaker 1: the sands the injury to wizn Esky. But Cam Smith's
Speaker 1: a different cat. Dude, he is, and I you know,
Speaker 1: for me, I said, there's no way you send him now.
Speaker 1: Let him learn here and see what he's got. It's
Speaker 1: like a quarterback that starts as a rookie. I ain't
Speaker 1: pulling him out after two bad starts. Now I understand
Speaker 1: what happened to Bryce Young after just about seven or
Speaker 1: eight it gets overwhelming. Sure, but I'm not pulling a
Speaker 1: guy out. You don't. I'm not. You don't get the
Speaker 1: bail on me that quickly. Not that they wanted to,
Speaker 1: but I'm not letting you off the hook that easy.
Speaker 1: You're going to find out what it's like to take,
Speaker 1: you know, punches to the face and see how you
Speaker 1: deal with it. I need to know that if I'm
Speaker 1: a coacher and a team because if there's fragility in
Speaker 1: the personality or the emotional side of it. There's probably
Speaker 1: always gonna be I've never met a great player I'm
Speaker 1: talking about it came in as a rookie too, there
Speaker 1: was fragile personality wise. Never I bet guys who you know,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden were great players and just it
Speaker 1: just didn't work out right. But it had zero to
Speaker 1: do with how mentally tough they were. They just couldn't
Speaker 1: hit a curveball or a quarterback that was just wasn't
Speaker 1: accurate or wide receiver that hey, he wasn't afraid of anything.
Speaker 1: His hands just weren't as good as the guy next
Speaker 1: to him. He wasn't as precise as outrunner. If they're great,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about going in you said that guy is
Speaker 1: special or a great player. But if they got eliminated
Speaker 1: the great player that I've been around that there's been
Speaker 1: great talent that's been eliminated because they weren't emotionally tough.
Speaker 1: But I've never seen a great producer or a guy
Speaker 1: that you see that that came in, whether he was
Speaker 1: a first year guy or ninth yeer guys. My point
Speaker 1: that was emotionally and mentally soft they couldn't handle great
Speaker 1: success or failure. Now I've met plenty that couldn't handle it,
Speaker 1: that were talented, but that you knew that from beginning
Speaker 1: to end. If they were fragile early, they were going
Speaker 1: to be fragile late. Does that make it they're all
Speaker 1: worried about what everybody else said. If they weren't fragile early,
Speaker 1: they weren't going to be fragile late. Some may get
Speaker 1: a little chippy at the end of their career because
Speaker 1: they want to hang on two extras. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: when they're there. I've never played with a good player
Speaker 1: that was a rookie that had a fragile personality that
Speaker 1: ended up being a star. I haven't played welle. Now,
Speaker 1: somebody outse there may be the outlier and the operation.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there is. The guys I've been around, whether
Speaker 1: it was college, whether it was playing in the NFL,
Speaker 1: whether I was my senior year and a freshman came in,
Speaker 1: Like when we had Tim McDonald, the great safety from
Speaker 1: the player with the forty years who, by the way,
Speaker 1: should probably be a Hall of Fame or at least close.
Speaker 1: Tim McDonald was a couple of years behind us my
Speaker 1: class when he came in. Put him in there. There
Speaker 1: was nothing fragile about it. I used him because we
Speaker 1: could talk about the Marcus sounds like a guy that
Speaker 1: maybe not a lot of people talk about, but was
Speaker 1: a great player and a great athlete. You knew as
Speaker 1: a rookie, as a freshman at SC that he was
Speaker 1: different and it didn't matter if he missed a tackle,
Speaker 1: and then he was a I mean, he would hit you,
Speaker 1: but it didn't matter. It didn't matter if you bench
Speaker 1: him if he missed a tackle. If he missed it, it
Speaker 1: didn't matter. He wasn't coming to the sideline worried about
Speaker 1: what you were thinking. In fragile, ever, ended up being
Speaker 1: a great player in college, ended up being a great
Speaker 1: plan in pro I have yet to meet a guy
Speaker 1: that was fragile as a rookie or fragile young that
Speaker 1: all of a sudden became a tough person. Now some
Speaker 1: may grind through it, but in my life being around
Speaker 1: these great players that I've been fortunate enough to watch
Speaker 1: do their work, and I think cam Smith, at least
Speaker 1: early on, has all those traits that if he fails,
Speaker 1: or as success he fails, it isn't going to be
Speaker 1: because he's fragile personality wise, it's just not He may
Speaker 1: struggle with something else along the way, hopefully it's not
Speaker 1: injuries or anything like that. But the great players I've
Speaker 1: been around, you may think they're fragile from a distancer,
Speaker 1: you may question them. They don't ever worry about them
Speaker 1: questioning themselves or if they can handle getting knocked down.
Speaker 1: The great players were tough as a rookie and tough
Speaker 1: in their tenth year. And I'm talking about mentally and
Speaker 1: emotionally tough. I think this kid's got that. I don't
Speaker 1: care if he strikes out twenty times in a row. Physically,
Speaker 1: he may go on and he may try harder and
Speaker 1: all that, but I'm talking about I guarantee he ain't
Speaker 1: going home sitting there thinking I can't come out of this.
Speaker 1: And the other side is if you were fragile early brother,
Speaker 1: and you have confidence, and you were fragile, I know
Speaker 1: you're trying to fit in. We all have that. But
Speaker 1: I'm talking about you know that. What I'm I'm about
Speaker 1: that at the slightest adversity, the guy semi wilts, you
Speaker 1: know that guy. I've never seen a guy who had
Speaker 1: that fragile personality as a rookie turn into ooh, he
Speaker 1: all of a sudden became mister non fragile. It's rare.
Speaker 1: It's rare.
Speaker 6: It's that's DNA brother, and that's in that that's in
Speaker 6: the bloodstream, and you know a lot of times that's
Speaker 6: the saying he's got it. I think in this case
Speaker 6: it's he's different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I did. None of us know what it is.
Speaker 1: But when you when you do it all and you
Speaker 1: get all the players sitting in one side of the
Speaker 1: room in any sport that have it. Connor McDavid, you
Speaker 1: look at this kid, Cam Smith, Jeremy pill find Jeremy Pania,
Speaker 1: go go look at Shay gilgis out whoever it is.
Speaker 1: It's you know, there's there's just something different where they
Speaker 1: walk on and you forget, or on the golf course, Tiger,
Speaker 1: you forget that they're the age, they are right and
Speaker 1: well whatever it isn't just that you can throw it hard.
Speaker 1: But that was the case, we'd have a lot of it. Factor.
Speaker 1: It factor I think comes from this non tent the
Speaker 1: things you can't see very often. I think it's the
Speaker 1: intangible stuff that does, whether it's their work they're doing
Speaker 1: the lonely work, working without not worried about that, not
Speaker 1: reading press clippings good or bad. Just stay in the
Speaker 1: course and not letting anything detour them or take them
Speaker 1: on a detour from their training. And if somebody does
Speaker 1: push them on a detour, they know how to train,
Speaker 1: They know how to get things done on the detour
Speaker 1: without without poutin and whining about it. So, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: it's the IT factor doesn't usually come from stuff we
Speaker 1: can see. It usually comes from stuff we can't, camp Smith.
Speaker 1: All the stuff you can't see is brilliant. All the
Speaker 1: stuff you can't see, if you haven't seen it yet,
Speaker 1: I think that we're probably then you're not paying attention
Speaker 1: because he's just Those guys like him are built different.
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure you can buy that in a store, buddy, now,
Speaker 1: can't be coached, can't be taught. It's either you got
Speaker 1: it or you don't. It's it's that simple. And camp Smith,
Speaker 1: I think we can agree. Hitting two seventy six with
Speaker 1: a seven to seventy seven ops, he definitely fits that mold,
Speaker 1: all right. Three two one two five seven ninety is
Speaker 1: the number to get in on the phone line seven
Speaker 1: one three two one, two, five, seven ninety. But coming up,
Speaker 1: we are inching closer to the trade deadline and a
Speaker 1: lot of people have their opinions on the ASTROS priority.
Speaker 1: I think the priority is clearly defined and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about it right here. It is the Sean Salisbury Show
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 3: This Sean Salisbury Show continues to continue.
Speaker 1: They had a bunch of miss putts with opportunities, but
Speaker 1: there was a bunch of they would get he and
Speaker 1: Grazerman and Chris Kirk getting Chris Kirk getting after it,
Speaker 1: and they all had chances to close it out, but
Speaker 1: just you know, a lot of balls just edged the
Speaker 1: cup and rolled out and then finally pop Geeter on
Speaker 1: their fifth playoff hole. I think it was the par
Speaker 1: five where they both they both breathed in. I think
Speaker 1: of the par three is what he wanted. I watched
Speaker 1: the whole turn. I can't remember. They've got so many playoffalls.
Speaker 1: I think they wanted again on the second time they
Speaker 1: went back and played I think fifteen. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: was because Max Grazerman came up short and missed his punt.
Speaker 1: He rolled by, and then finally Poteater knocked it in.
Speaker 1: But average three thirty four, dude. In the par five
Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty eight yards, and Grazerman's not short.
Speaker 1: He went three thirty one and he had three thirty
Speaker 1: eight or three thirty for a pot Geater averaged almost
Speaker 1: three forty off the tee during the entire week in Detroit,
Speaker 1: he went driver eight iron to a five hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty yard par five.
Speaker 6: You would think that eight iron would mean that you're
Speaker 6: laying up, he said. Now eight iron is me going
Speaker 6: for it.
Speaker 1: Well, here's what you have to understand about this. Think
Speaker 1: about this. You played, you've played with good Your brother's
Speaker 1: a good golfer. Yeah, I've played with a lot of
Speaker 1: good golfers. At times. I've got enough in me to
Speaker 1: you know, you know, reach a par five and when
Speaker 1: you smoke a drive and hit it. But I'm talking
Speaker 1: about good players that I play with. It are pretty long, right,
Speaker 1: Smoke a drive. You're staring with that, especially when it's
Speaker 1: surrounded by trouble. You're staring if you want to get
Speaker 1: to a par five and two and somebody five sixty,
Speaker 1: good buddy, If you hit it three hundred, you got
Speaker 1: to go to sixty, dude. Yeah, so that's probably a
Speaker 1: long that's probably three would you're hitting three wood if
Speaker 1: you even want to make it, unless you want to
Speaker 1: make it a three shot hole, and through two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty yard three wood for a non pro ninety
Speaker 1: seven times out of one hundred you ain't getting there.
Speaker 1: And the only other times if you hit a sprinkler
Speaker 1: head or that two sixty with a three wood for
Speaker 1: mo for well, for a plus ten handicap, he's never
Speaker 1: he's never getting there unless it's down wind, downhill. But
Speaker 1: on that course, most normal ones are you you got
Speaker 1: to smoke a par three to get it somewhere, so
Speaker 1: you can hit a little flip lob wedge in it's
Speaker 1: half lobwedds, you get it close. But if you're fortunate
Speaker 1: it's downwind, you hate your best drive of the day
Speaker 1: and you hit a three wood just you know, flush
Speaker 1: right right. And those I talk about good players that
Speaker 1: we play it like a three handicap. He ain't hitting
Speaker 1: five iron from two sixty eight. Okay, this dude, they
Speaker 1: smoke it. He's carrying. They're going drive for eight iron.
Speaker 1: That's not a par five. They mean, what do we
Speaker 1: got to do? Lengthen them? The seven hundred yards it's
Speaker 1: it's amazing. I know they've been their clubs with you know,
Speaker 1: different angles and lofts and lies than we do. I
Speaker 1: get it. My eight iron is supposed to go. What
Speaker 1: a buck sixty five and their eight iron is supposed
Speaker 1: to go. I saw. I watched the Grazerman hit a
Speaker 1: two hundred and ten yard eight iron yesterday. Now it
Speaker 1: can be down, it doesn't matter when it is. Ay
Speaker 1: come back and pot Eaters hitting one fifty nine nine iron,
Speaker 1: So the change is weird, but due you're averaging three
Speaker 1: thirty fourth to te and you got to hit fairways
Speaker 1: for it, I believe count just like you would in
Speaker 1: a long drive contest. And then did a pumping eight
Speaker 1: iron in there when most of the rest of the
Speaker 1: world's hitting three iron and most and good golfers have
Speaker 1: to think twice about it. Good good players. So it's
Speaker 1: pretty impressive man. And it's one thing five iron and
Speaker 1: eight iron for those guys. It's a world of difference
Speaker 1: when you got those two different clubs in your hand
Speaker 1: right where you expect to hit it. It was fun
Speaker 1: to watch the Great Cup competition. It's got to be
Speaker 1: harder on the dads and the moms are sitting there
Speaker 1: watching with every putt and good on that the last
Speaker 1: two guys were with Grazermen and pot Geter both would
Speaker 1: have been there if he was their first win on
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour, and pot Geter got his. And that
Speaker 1: was like four or five times in the last year
Speaker 1: that Grazerman's finished in second, but hanging around. One of
Speaker 1: these times they'll break through.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: It was a fun watch and they finally pot Geter
Speaker 1: finally made a putt. Well, it's just it's it's good
Speaker 1: to get that experience. And then he had to win
Speaker 1: in those situations right, applies to team sports too well.
Speaker 6: And that's what is so great about golf too, is
Speaker 6: that immediately after you can get you know, whoever lost,
Speaker 6: Like I mean, good on Chris Kirk too, where he loses,
Speaker 6: he's out of the playoff.
Speaker 1: Too seconds, within thirty seconds he was doing an interview.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, good, oh yeah, because he he had a
Speaker 1: chance twice on short puts and couldn't make them to
Speaker 1: put it away. But his swing is about as pretty
Speaker 1: as you'll ever see.
Speaker 6: Got some got some good young golfers out there, do
Speaker 6: we have and we got to see it yesterday. So
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks away from the British Open too,
Speaker 6: so me and you will get morning golf where that Thursday,
Speaker 6: me and Gordy will be at SEC media days. But
Speaker 6: then that Friday, sure as you're born, wake.
Speaker 1: Up and they're they're in the they're in the middle
Speaker 1: of a round, which is I do too. I know
Speaker 1: we always when I was playing, we always we'd get
Speaker 1: up early, you know, before football practice, training camp, and
Speaker 1: we get up early for the British Open and you'd
Speaker 1: be saiding, they're getting have breakfast. I would have wake
Speaker 1: up a little early, and it's it's on your dad.
Speaker 1: They're already going, right, okay, this is cool. So at
Speaker 1: that point, yeah, pretty awesome. So yeah, it's some good golf.
Speaker 1: But we do have some good young players, dude. These
Speaker 1: teenagers and these twenty year olds and twenty five now
Speaker 1: experience matters, but some of them are so naive to
Speaker 1: the to the pressure of it. They're thinking, I'm twenty
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win fifty. We talked about Marino, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: win thirty more times on tour. So they probably throw
Speaker 1: caution to the win a lot of times because they
Speaker 1: I mean, they're firing they're short sided them, so they're
Speaker 1: firing it pins that you're like, dude, and they're twenty,
Speaker 1: so they did the fear when you hit it three
Speaker 1: forty is kind of taken out and man of pie,
Speaker 1: if this kid continues to get back, imagine this at
Speaker 1: twenty your winning turns hitting three forty. How good are
Speaker 1: you gonna be when you actually know how to play?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, So it's uh, it's impressive.
Speaker 1: And they a lot of times these young players don't
Speaker 1: have any idea that they're supposed to be pressure and
Speaker 1: they sit back and let it rip. Golf some pretty
Speaker 1: good shape. Even though we don't have the Tiger Woods effect,
Speaker 1: we sure as hell got some good players. Man, they
Speaker 1: can smoke it that we do.
Speaker 6: And we saw that yesterday up in Detroit the Rocket Classics.
Speaker 6: So Aldrich Pottkeater your winner.
Speaker 1: And great, great, they're gonna enjoy saying his name over
Speaker 1: the next twenty years. I kind of got I think
Speaker 1: they liked. I think they like saying both his first
Speaker 1: and last year. Oh you know, I'll look at you know,
Speaker 1: Chris Kirk. And they liked when they say, oh, shawflet's
Speaker 1: playing great golf. Scheffler or Scottie. They refer to him
Speaker 1: by his first name, but about a million times yesterday,
Speaker 1: Aldrich Pottkey. They couldn't wait to say his day. Andrew
Speaker 1: cattle On, Andrew cattle On.
Speaker 6: It almost kind of felt like went out of his
Speaker 6: way because he was in for nance and it was
Speaker 6: every single time pot Gater pott Geter.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he loved saying his name. It's almost kind
Speaker 1: of like not a he or not a there he is,
Speaker 1: it's a pot Geter. I mean they it was like
Speaker 1: it felt like a right of passage.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 1: This name. It's going to be a great name from
Speaker 1: South Africa.
Speaker 6: It's almost a name like you would hear for a
Speaker 6: guy playing out of like I don't know, a seat
Speaker 6: in hall or somewhere in the in the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 1: Ye, Jonas pott Geter, Yeah right, Aldrick pott Geater. He's
Speaker 1: like he's like a nineteen year old that came over
Speaker 1: and is like like Sibonis, right, he's a really good player.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this kid when he's and he's like
Speaker 1: nineteen playing was dominating the Euros right right, And he
Speaker 1: comes over here and they're like, oh, this guy was
Speaker 1: picked fourth in the draft. Guy's a monster talent and
Speaker 1: his name was Aldrick pott Geeter. Yeah, power forward, Aldric
Speaker 1: pot Geter. Yeah, I can see that pot Geter for three.
Speaker 1: I could totally see Andrew Cattle. And we've gotten to
Speaker 1: know Andrew cattalong quite a bit around here. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was on almost every single Texans game last year
Speaker 1: and then he called the what was it Milo's using
Speaker 1: put back off the glass or the inbound He's a
Speaker 1: he's a you got a good, good feature. It looks
Speaker 1: like they're trying to groom him to take over for
Speaker 1: because because when Nance isn't doing it, and when he
Speaker 1: takes a little time off on on events that maybe
Speaker 1: we don't consider bigger events. Although the guy won yesterday
Speaker 1: is two million dollars rich, it's a big event because
Speaker 1: of FedEx Cup points and it's a win on tour.
Speaker 1: It's I think Catalan feels like he's the heir apparent
Speaker 1: whenever Jim decides it. He's ready to quit doing golf
Speaker 1: in football because we know he's done doing the NC
Speaker 1: two A tournament. So but Jim still got along round
Speaker 1: ahead of him. But it's nice that Jim gets to
Speaker 1: take some weekends off and Catalan does a nice job.
Speaker 1: They got a good crew. Our golf crews are pretty good.
Speaker 1: I think Dottie Pepper, you know, when they talk about
Speaker 1: female broadcasters, forget talking about female or male. She's and
Speaker 1: I know it's golf, and they don't spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time when they're when you're foot soldiers on the
Speaker 1: golf course, they give insight and give you I think
Speaker 1: Dottie Pepper for years, she's as good as the guys are.
Speaker 1: Forget just say comparing her well, she as good as
Speaker 1: this woman when it comes to just good. I mean,
Speaker 1: she's understated, gives you great insight on it because she
Speaker 1: was the hell of a player, gives you great insight
Speaker 1: without over talking, and is fan and her vibe with
Speaker 1: the with the guys on the on the tour, on
Speaker 1: the broadcast group, I think she's really good. Nobody talks
Speaker 1: about her, maybe because it's she doesn't get him get
Speaker 1: paid by the word doing play by play or color
Speaker 1: and she's but I'm just telling you right now, you
Speaker 1: could feel quite comfortable if nance talked to her for
Speaker 1: two hours about and they're going. You'll learn a lot
Speaker 1: listening to Dottie pepperdew golf so good on her. I
Speaker 1: just like the the vibe of it when they're when
Speaker 1: they're going good and they're giving each other a hard
Speaker 1: time and Novolo's in there talking. I do. I like it.
Speaker 1: And I think they're I think they're pretty loaded. And
Speaker 1: I think Trevor Immoman's opinionated, got a little bit of
Speaker 1: nick foul and him he's not afraid to criticize, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, which is good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he he's no brand of shambly. Shambly
Speaker 6: is the guy that just lets it go. But no,
Speaker 6: Dottie does a great job.
Speaker 1: And then I believes and been in plenty arguments with
Speaker 1: TG Tour players. It's it's almost on a daily weekly basis,
Speaker 1: like it's he wears it as a badge of honor.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, no, he absolutely does if somebody's upset with him.
Speaker 6: And then I guess was it Coltonnast cult knows.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Now he's the funny guy.
Speaker 6: He's the now the David Faride on the CBS crew,
Speaker 6: and he was yesterday they were talking about that. I
Speaker 6: think it was the fifth playoff hole where he was like, hey, guys,
Speaker 6: this keeps going. I think I'm gonna switch spots with
Speaker 6: you because the feed are starting to hurt you.
Speaker 1: He told that the catalogt he goes, hey did they
Speaker 1: go one more playoff? Hole? My feet are hurting. We'll
Speaker 1: switch and see, so we're switching holds, right, you can
Speaker 1: call from the course. I'll be follow right, you follow.
Speaker 1: But he's got some good one liners like, oh boy,
Speaker 1: he's gonna need a he gonna he's gonna have to
Speaker 1: hit as far as he did the Hole before a
Speaker 1: little bit short. I mean, just he's got some really
Speaker 1: clever one liners. It's a good group man, and Dottie
Speaker 1: Pepper is really good. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Now they they've definitely been able to keep the continuity
Speaker 6: over there. I mean even you know when they moved
Speaker 6: on from Peter Costas and then I'm trying to remember
Speaker 6: it to the Cord Yeah Gary McCord, Yeah, yeah, he
Speaker 6: was always great too. So no, it's it's definitely a
Speaker 6: fun watch for sure. And a couple of weeks away,
Speaker 6: like I said, from the British Open, let's get back
Speaker 6: to the Astros because the trade deadline rumors are flying
Speaker 6: and they are fast and furious, and some of them
Speaker 6: makes sense.
Speaker 1: Some of them just really don't. We'll talk about it
Speaker 1: right here.
Speaker 6: It is a Sean Salisbury show on a Monday Sports
Speaker 6: Talk seven ninety. The seven ninety listener line in the
Speaker 6: six o'clock hour is brought to you by one eight
Speaker 6: hundred car cash and it will definitely not happen. Now,
Speaker 6: that was the thing that cracked me up the most.
Speaker 6: Sean is everybody with his opting out, Oh, it sets
Speaker 6: up for him to make a return to Houston. I said, stop.
Speaker 6: They had the opportunity two years ago, supposedly had the meeting,
Speaker 6: and I think, if I'm not mistaken, at that point,
Speaker 6: emy Udoka said, yeah, not for me.
Speaker 1: Why would you bring him back here? I mean why
Speaker 1: once he left, what would what would bring him back here? See,
Speaker 1: you can't win a championship pretty much, no disrespect to
Speaker 1: the guy who's been a hell of a player. He's
Speaker 1: going to the Hall of Fame, got an MVP. But
Speaker 1: let's the guy doesn't win titles. He doesn't bring out
Speaker 1: the best in his teammates. He just doesn't. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean he's not a good player, and he's not a
Speaker 1: passing savant and got good basketball like you. He's a
Speaker 1: great scorer, and there's no doubt, but some guys we
Speaker 1: talked about that in factor, some guys don't make well.
Speaker 1: He may be better, he doesn't make everybody around him better.
Speaker 1: There's nothing you could have done that said, unless they
Speaker 1: were going to give him away. You say bring him here,
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure it would have been good for
Speaker 1: this team or for young players.
Speaker 2: Eye.
Speaker 1: While he's a talented player, special talent, he does not
Speaker 1: make your teammates better. He just doesn't. So An you
Speaker 1: bring him here. If you want to bring him here,
Speaker 1: go ahead, then assure yourself you're not winning a championship
Speaker 1: for whatever. Oil Sewan, you don't think adding him with
Speaker 1: Durant And you know, I'm just saying this current team,
Speaker 1: sure it's not even in question, but just saying hyperbolic obviously,
Speaker 1: And Shan Goon and Amen Tims, you don't think they're No,
Speaker 1: I actually don't. I actually think Fred van Vliet's better
Speaker 1: at that position for this team. Why distributor and well
Speaker 1: Harden can do it all. There's just a different feel
Speaker 1: about what a real teammate is. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: And hard and special talent, but he wasn't special at
Speaker 1: elevating everybody around him. No, he is. Thank you. Just
Speaker 1: to understand this, in my opinion, there's guys like that
Speaker 1: that are so talented. James Harden as a star. Now
Speaker 1: he may go to a team, be the seventh man
Speaker 1: and win an NBA title. James Harden, when he is
Speaker 1: the guy that's going to carry you, will not win
Speaker 1: an NBA title as the star of a team. He
Speaker 1: just won't. You could stick him. In a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I'd be willing to bet you any amount of money
Speaker 1: you want stick him in Oklahoma City right now for
Speaker 1: next year. They will not win the championship. They'll get worse. Well,
Speaker 1: he'll get bet because he's a good player and he
Speaker 1: can score. He can like we talk about Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1: He can fall out of bed and score twenty eight
Speaker 1: thirty hard and can he can? Is that gifted? But
Speaker 1: just because you're that gifted doesn't mean you make everybody better.
Speaker 1: They go there, they're not one of the title too.
Speaker 1: And I'm just telling you they're not. And if they can't.
Speaker 1: If he came here, I believe it would have slowed
Speaker 1: down the process of getting to where they want to go.
Speaker 1: HiT's a reason why they didn't do it and after
Speaker 1: he left. Sometimes you just got to say, listen, there's
Speaker 1: been a good run. No, no grudge, not for us.
Speaker 1: I remember that's exactly right somewhere else. But I'm just
Speaker 1: going by history. We want to talk about back of cards.
Speaker 1: There's two things that are true. He'll score and you
Speaker 1: won't win a ring. I mean, in history tells you that.
Speaker 1: And I'm only going what I know, and I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm this ain't made up stuff. He can score, he's
Speaker 1: a great offensive player. You're not going to win a title,
Speaker 1: and he's got no athing to show for it. And
Speaker 1: you want me to name the teams he's been on
Speaker 1: or should we leave that one alone? No, I think
Speaker 1: we can look at it.
Speaker 6: Okay, a pretty good idea, right The basketball card is
Speaker 6: is easy to find, but Google in the meantime will
Speaker 6: definitely how much you.
Speaker 1: Want, how much you want to bet the Clippers aren't
Speaker 1: winning the NBA Championship next year.
Speaker 6: I don't have any argument, because I mean, I've never
Speaker 6: looked at them, and hey.
Speaker 1: No, disrespect a lot of great players there. I can
Speaker 1: say the same thing about quarterbacks. You can. You can
Speaker 1: go through right now and we could have over the
Speaker 1: course of time said it before, I never felt, you know,
Speaker 1: as much as his talent was like, he was a
Speaker 1: talented guy, and I like him. I think he's funny
Speaker 1: as hell. When Jay Cutler was the guy like in
Speaker 1: Denver and went to Chicago, you knew you could, Oh, man,
Speaker 1: they're gonna they've got this throat. You're never winning one.
Speaker 1: There's something missing from talented is all get out smart,
Speaker 1: smart ass, rip it, smoke a cigarette and throw a
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. No doubt you weren't winning one. And there's
Speaker 1: things that you can look at the current guys and
Speaker 1: go through. Man, that guy's a good play. He's not
Speaker 1: winning one. Well, that's a fact. And as good as
Speaker 1: Cousins has been numbers one, he's not winning one. It's
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen as a starter. So there's certain
Speaker 1: guys around the league that you just kind of know
Speaker 1: that they're really good put up numbers, but aren't. And
Speaker 1: Hardens that guy win an MVP, but he'll leave the
Speaker 1: league unless he gets one as a backup or late
Speaker 1: in his career as a star. He will leave the
Speaker 1: NBA without a ring on his finger, at least an
Speaker 1: Nbahampionship ring.
Speaker 6: Well, there's not a lot of people who disagree with you,
Speaker 6: and the Rockets obviously like the way that they are
Speaker 6: going where you bring back Jabari Smith Junior, rumors that
Speaker 6: they could bring in Dorry and Finney Smith, who could
Speaker 6: be somebody else that could be a good bench option
Speaker 6: for you, especially when you factor in that Jabbari and
Speaker 6: or Tari Eastern are gonna be kicked into the starting five.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and so you got a good thing going here.
Speaker 1: Alls you're trying to do is add to it, not
Speaker 1: disrupt it. And every time I watch them make another move,
Speaker 1: I start to trust that they get it. And I
Speaker 1: mean I've always trusted, but even more so that not
Speaker 1: only do they get it, but they're with Udoka and
Speaker 1: with rafel Stone and the direction there's a page. I
Speaker 1: think they probably challenge each other, which is a good thing.
Speaker 1: They're not all sitting on the same page all the time.
Speaker 1: You got to be able to battle over those things
Speaker 1: what's best for the team. I like that when you
Speaker 1: have guys like that. But when they get right down
Speaker 1: to it, they have roles defined now, and I think
Speaker 1: in the past we weren't sure. At times in the
Speaker 1: distant past that roles weren't defined but you bring in
Speaker 1: the right GM, you got the right cut, and I
Speaker 1: thought Darryl Moorey did a really good job and Tad
Speaker 1: but they had some great they did, but unfortunately some
Speaker 1: of the play on the court and how you had
Speaker 1: to do it and trying to go get stars didn't
Speaker 1: work out so with that, but they've got it back
Speaker 1: to it now and I feel like they've got roles
Speaker 1: defined and they're making decisions, and their decisions are all
Speaker 1: based on what gives us the best chance to win,
Speaker 1: not having to kiss some stars ass because he's been
Speaker 1: in the city for a while and I like that. Now.
Speaker 6: It's definitely a plan being put to use over there
Speaker 6: with the Rockets, and it's going to be interesting to
Speaker 6: see if the plan continues to evolve for them, which
Speaker 6: does seem like that is the case. But Rogers, do
Speaker 6: you want to get in on the Astros? Definitely do
Speaker 6: want to get into some of that discussion, because we
Speaker 6: saw something over the weekend that I think tells you
Speaker 6: a lot of what to expect from this team. We'll
Speaker 6: discuss that here. It is a Sean Salisbury Show on
Speaker 6: a Monday Sports Talk seven to ninety.
Speaker 3: The Sean Salisbury Show continues.
Speaker 9: And it to know No.
Speaker 5: Now, you know.
Speaker 6: There's a report out there from Bob Nightingale that Cedric
Speaker 6: Mullins of the Orioles is somebody at the Astros could
Speaker 6: possibly target left handed hitter, as we've heard Dana Brown
Speaker 6: talk about left handed bat outfield too, So that could
Speaker 6: fit another need for you left field, is what it
Speaker 6: seems like if they brought him here. But that's to
Speaker 6: your point where I'm getting to, because I don't need
Speaker 6: a left fielder.
Speaker 1: And you don't need a center fielder right now either work.
Speaker 6: You don't need a right fielder either, So that's where
Speaker 6: I mean. I think if nothing else, it would be
Speaker 6: a bench move. But you know, to your point, I mean,
Speaker 6: I've said it numerous times about hose A l two
Speaker 6: va astecond base. I just I don't trust him defensively
Speaker 6: there to believe that that is the best lineup that
Speaker 6: you can put out there. And I mean it seems
Speaker 6: like at least at times that Joe A. Spotta feels
Speaker 6: the same way. But Katie Bill, one of our brings
Speaker 6: up a good point here is he throws this out
Speaker 6: to me yesterday. Imagine this lineup with just Alvarez back
Speaker 6: Painia leading off, Peretis l twov out and left, and
Speaker 6: Alvarez as the DH Smith and Wright ds catching walk
Speaker 6: her over at first and then eight and nine. This
Speaker 6: gets me a little excited Myers and center with as
Speaker 6: well as he swung the bat, even if he cools
Speaker 6: off a little bit, he's still performed above what you
Speaker 6: expected out of him this year, and in Dubon at
Speaker 6: second base, that's a solid one through nine that I
Speaker 6: really do feel I can make a run.
Speaker 1: Can you survive a season with al two v playing
Speaker 1: average second base?
Speaker 6: If he plays average, then yes, But I just don't
Speaker 6: believe that he can play average second base.
Speaker 1: I think he's playing below average second base. I think
Speaker 1: I think that he definitely has the propensity to do that. Yes,
Speaker 1: I do. Okay, so let me give you a lineup
Speaker 1: that I thinks that may be better. This allows me
Speaker 1: to utilize Dubon wherever I can put the Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame if you want, If if Mullins becomes a factor,
Speaker 1: let's just just for the hell of it. He's a
Speaker 1: good player. Baltimore just hit this was Nobody saw this
Speaker 1: coming for the Orioles this year. No nobody. Now the
Speaker 1: question in Baltimore. Are you going to sell or you're
Speaker 1: gonna you got too many good young players? Consider it
Speaker 1: the aberration. And let's the if I if I was,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not. They're not looking for my advice.
Speaker 1: But you ain't. You ain't starting to jump ship with
Speaker 1: that great young town on that team. Now, Mullins, I get,
Speaker 1: but you know the holidays and the you know from
Speaker 1: the catchers, I mean you're not. They've got three or
Speaker 1: four players that got dire I mean, well even more
Speaker 1: than that. They're young. They all look alike, all those
Speaker 1: they look like they just walked off Tennessee and Vanderbilt campuses, right,
Speaker 1: But they're loaded. So let me ask this lineup. What
Speaker 1: about Paneline Novitch short hitting, you know, Paradus number two
Speaker 1: or whoever paratus to alt V. I don't care how
Speaker 1: you do that. But al Twov's at second. Put him
Speaker 1: in his position. He's going to get inducted in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame at just just hear me out, Dubon.
Speaker 1: You're still using all over regardless of the batting. So
Speaker 1: in the three hole you got al two, they playing
Speaker 1: second base. Jordan comes back in Dhent and then you
Speaker 1: have the walker Yainer Diaz somewhere in that range five
Speaker 1: to six. Cam Smith right, so you got your right
Speaker 1: Jake Myers so rightfield, left field. However, they're going to
Speaker 1: work the lineup. What if I told you you put
Speaker 1: Mullins in left field and al two A at second,
Speaker 1: That lineup's better than the one you gave me, especially
Speaker 1: when you add another left handed bat to it. Well.
Speaker 6: I mean, and Mullins is probably going to be traded
Speaker 6: by Baltimore because he is a free agent next year.
Speaker 1: So I see that move there. Just Baltimore is not
Speaker 1: going to tear that thing apart. There's too many plays.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're not going to see Adlie Rutchman or anybody
Speaker 6: traded away like that's that's.
Speaker 1: Not realizing because if you get rid of them, you
Speaker 1: got to go get young players dis like them.
Speaker 6: But another guy that I mentioned, and I mean it's
Speaker 6: been pushed back on a little bit, but the recent
Speaker 6: last five or six starts out of Charlie Morton have
Speaker 6: been five six innings a piece out of him.
Speaker 1: Do you hate him Charlie Morton? I would absolutely take him, yes,
Speaker 1: for sure. Oh I think this city would welcome him. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I think he's comfortable here are you? What do
Speaker 1: you want more? Left handed bat, right handed pitcher, right
Speaker 1: handed pitcher?
Speaker 6: Because Saturday showed me that Saturday showed me that is
Speaker 6: as good as Colton Gordon, which he wasn't the problem obviously,
Speaker 6: he pitched well on Friday. But Lance McCullers Junior, I mean,
Speaker 6: it's twofold with him his performances like that that can happen.
Speaker 1: And it's also the injury thing.
Speaker 6: I mean, as much as I love the guy, as
Speaker 6: much as I want to see him pitch, and as
Speaker 6: much as I hope that he is successful every time
Speaker 6: he's out.
Speaker 1: There on the mound, I just don't know who I'm
Speaker 1: going to get. This has nothing to do for me
Speaker 1: with whether I like the guy. I want him successful
Speaker 1: because I want him successful. I like him with that,
Speaker 1: we don't even need to qualify that you're one hundred
Speaker 1: percent crack. I want to see him kick ass. But
Speaker 1: when I'm watching him this year, it feels to me
Speaker 1: that there's not a And I think the one start
Speaker 1: he grinded it out, scattered some hits and hung in there,
Speaker 1: but it's a when he's going good. And I guess
Speaker 1: you can say this about a lot. But like for instance,
Speaker 1: Fromber's got to the point, even if he's not dominating you,
Speaker 1: we've seen it a couple starts. He'll hang in for
Speaker 1: six and two thirds or six and a third and
Speaker 1: scatter some hits and grind through it and give you
Speaker 1: an average performance, but a chance to still win an
Speaker 1: average performance based on how good he is. But those
Speaker 1: barahmas with Lance right now, And I know, but I
Speaker 1: can't judge him because he's been hurt in the path
Speaker 1: and talk about the arm, because if you're running him
Speaker 1: out there and starting him, then he's healthy. So I
Speaker 1: can't say, yeah, but he's still it's first, it's eighty
Speaker 1: his first eighty games back since better. I can't look
Speaker 1: at it like that. If you're running him out there,
Speaker 1: I judge him like he's a top five, like he's
Speaker 1: one of my five starters. For me, it looks a
Speaker 1: bit like did he When he's going good, he'll get
Speaker 1: you twelve strikeouts, You're like, damn, he's back. And then
Speaker 1: when he's going bad, you're like, he can't get anybody
Speaker 1: out the happy medium where he can grind through a
Speaker 1: bad And when I say this, I don't think he
Speaker 1: mentally thinks this, But when he's out front and things
Speaker 1: are going well early, you're looking good, I think he
Speaker 1: has a little bit of trouble at least maybe And
Speaker 1: I don't even know if the metrics point out, but
Speaker 1: from watching his starts this year, I almost feel like
Speaker 1: when he's getting when when the ball stays on the
Speaker 1: same plane, the speeds are not you know that everything's changed,
Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of change in much that
Speaker 1: he's doing now. Most would get raked. But I don't
Speaker 1: know if right now he knows how to give you
Speaker 1: a performance. It's average but hang in there. That not
Speaker 1: not mentally or that he's not tough enough, but it's
Speaker 1: either it's it's almost a well, it's almost like a golfer.
Speaker 1: You're either hitting making birdies or double bogies right, You're
Speaker 1: not making a lot of pars in between. Sure, And
Speaker 1: I feel like that with him, that he's got the
Speaker 1: ability to go out there and say, damn this, throw
Speaker 1: a no hitter, then he's also got the ability to
Speaker 1: not get out of the second inning. And and instead
Speaker 1: of where it's like okay, if you walk three in
Speaker 1: the first inning, stick with him. He'll grind it out
Speaker 1: I'll see in five and two thirds. Maybe I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: but it just feels like that to me. So and
Speaker 1: I understand your trust factor in him, because I don't
Speaker 1: think that they probably are. Well. Yeah, he's a no brainer,
Speaker 1: single elimination right now. And it's Lance mc colors and
Speaker 1: you got it, and it's his start, his turn, and
Speaker 1: it's Lance mccullors or. Pick one of the other guys,
Speaker 1: not one of the starters. Pick you pick one that
Speaker 1: you like. You said, not one of the starters, not
Speaker 1: not one of not from ber Hunter Brown. Okay, give
Speaker 1: me and give me another one that you like. Do
Speaker 1: you trust the most out of the other ones, I said,
Speaker 1: Colton Gordon. It was Brandon Walter on Friday. Okay, Walter
Speaker 1: mccullor's game on the line right now, Walter today, Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: the way passed. You almost have to write. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: that that that's where the decisions they're gonna have to make.
Speaker 1: And I hope we're I hope Lance gets in this
Speaker 1: where the keeps growing and growing and thanks change and
Speaker 1: he's dominant because when he's good, dude, the guy is
Speaker 1: as good as stuff as anybody on the staff. As
Speaker 1: we know that. But that that's something I have to make.
Speaker 1: But look at this, we're complaining. You're talking about going
Speaker 1: and get Charlie Morton, and we're talking about the possibility
Speaker 1: of going and getting Mulleins, And what is the platoon? Guys?
Speaker 1: Are you going to start him and move to bond
Speaker 1: back to platoon and put more jose Al to bad
Speaker 1: second base? Whatever that is? And they're fifteen and thirty four,
Speaker 1: and that of course is valid. So do you need
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't. I don't know how much you had
Speaker 1: with waste pitching. Probably more, but you had Charlie Moore too,
Speaker 1: who wouldn't want Charlie Morton had to especially the way
Speaker 1: he's going. What are you gonna have to give up?
Speaker 1: That's the thing you have to decide. I wouldn't imagine
Speaker 1: it's a lot where Charlie is in his life, but
Speaker 1: probably more than you thought you'd have to give up
Speaker 1: with the ways pitching. Well, I mean, is his name
Speaker 1: being mentioned anywhere?
Speaker 6: I haven't seen it anywhere, But if bombed the Orioles,
Speaker 6: I absolutely would because I mean for Mullen, I think
Speaker 6: you're probably going to let him walk after this season,
Speaker 6: So I mean, how much of a price tag is
Speaker 6: that for him? I understand that that kind of feeds
Speaker 6: into all of this, but I just believe that your
Speaker 6: priority is a back into the rotation guy. You can
Speaker 6: win with great pitching and average hitting. You can't win
Speaker 6: with average pitching and great hitting. Bingo, yeah, bingo. And
Speaker 6: is you know, look as good as Brandon Walter has been.
Speaker 6: He's been fantastic for you. Colton Gordon the same deal,
Speaker 6: and then you throw in them the Colors factor here,
Speaker 6: I really feel like you can only go two out
Speaker 6: of those three the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: I mean you probably you're going to continue to run
Speaker 1: him out there, I think for now, But when do
Speaker 1: you make the decision? Starter Bullpen give you one or two?
Speaker 1: And from mccolors, I'm talking about I don't know. And
Speaker 1: maybe we're just because of one performance we're getting out
Speaker 1: in front of ourselves. But it's something you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to address because when the trade deadline comes, it becomes.
Speaker 6: Real well, and then it's you know, the Irraghetti factor.
Speaker 6: What is Christian hobby Er give you?
Speaker 1: Garcia? Yeah, I have Hobbyer's throwing ninety five. It doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like it's three months away. You're throwing ninety five.
Speaker 1: That's his that that's usually his top end stuff, right,
Speaker 1: ninety five ninety six years lives in the ninety two
Speaker 1: ninety three res right, so he's coming back pumping at
Speaker 1: ninety five right now. The question is like stretching him out,
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine it's going to take three months
Speaker 1: to do that, hopefully not. So you got that's part
Speaker 1: of it. If you get a hobby on Garcia back,
Speaker 1: and Dana Brown will say he said it before in
Speaker 1: the past, having those guys back is like having you
Speaker 1: just traded for two brand new starters. That's how you're.
Speaker 6: Feeling right well, especially when you haven't had year in
Speaker 6: Garcia for a couple of years.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 6: So Rogers, see you're right there. You get you involved
Speaker 6: in the conversation. You want to join Rogers seven one

Speaker 1: have other good Danny boy.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean that that goes without saying, but they
Speaker 6: they have they have a few other good songs too,
Speaker 6: but that's the one that put them on the map. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that was the one that that got people. Although you know,
Speaker 6: Roger gets you here in just a second. But this
Speaker 6: is another aside and maybe one day it is. It
Speaker 6: is a stakeout. Is the lead singer. I met him
Speaker 6: once at my previous spots and yeah, so you know,
Speaker 6: just somebody said, hey, you know that's the lead singer
Speaker 6: and I was like, oh, that's cool. So just you know, hey,
Speaker 6: big fan of your work. It was just a passing
Speaker 6: conversation and as I'm walking off. He says, oh, appreciate
Speaker 6: me and cheers, and I'm like, cheers, we don't have
Speaker 6: drinks in our hands, like I just it is one
Speaker 6: of the most disingenuous, like hey, Cee you later, like
Speaker 6: just give me a hey, thanks or take care or
Speaker 6: is he around or something like that.
Speaker 1: Us man, Yeah, they are, they are, okay. So I
Speaker 1: was saying, that's even part of it too. It's like
Speaker 1: that's a real British thing. That's not British, right. If
Speaker 1: he'd have said cheers, mate, I would have said that
Speaker 1: that's just like their way of saying.
Speaker 6: Oh, you're from Denver, Colorado, Birmingham, you know, Britain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cheers is usually the thumbs up for you know.
Speaker 1: You could picture Ian Baker Finch saying that, sure right,
Speaker 1: one of the.
Speaker 6: Guys, Yeah, yeah, any of them.
Speaker 1: You're talking about an American band. The cheers is like yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like, what, well, he didn't foster the people properly, No,
Speaker 1: he didn't. You got if he foster the people, probably
Speaker 1: they'll all have pumped up kicks. I just I feel
Speaker 1: like that's it's just say take care as saying hey,
Speaker 1: how you doing when you don't really care how somebody
Speaker 1: is doing could be because no matter what they say,
Speaker 1: they're not really no matter what you say, they're not listening.
Speaker 1: You know some are, but you know, the persons not like, man,
Speaker 1: how are you You're doing all right?
Speaker 9: Hey?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Hey? How you doing right? But really,
Speaker 1: no matter how you answer it, it really it doesn't.
Speaker 1: They don't care. You know, run of those. So they
Speaker 1: tried to faster the people Dan and you were you
Speaker 1: got some disdain towards towards pumped up kicks faster the
Speaker 1: People's lead Ciga front man. I do.
Speaker 6: I do like their music, and I've gotten past that part.
Speaker 6: But it's just like, you know, like when I hear that,
Speaker 6: I'm just kind of like, oh, no, would you.
Speaker 1: Rather say, okay, pretend like pass me? He says, say
Speaker 1: hi to me, Hey, Sean, how you doing? Hey? Cheers prick? Wow?
Speaker 1: Would that be good?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 6: I mean at least I know where you're coming from,
Speaker 6: so I mean, at least there's some context there.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I love it though, but I get I do. I
Speaker 1: know what you say. It's like I've always said, I
Speaker 1: know it's not that big a deal, but somebody it's happened,
Speaker 1: happens too much for a younger generation. I know they
Speaker 1: but calling you, hey, what's up, champ or boss or pal?
Speaker 1: It's yeah, I say bud because just a habit, right,
Speaker 1: But when somebody says it usually it's like it feels
Speaker 1: like when they say it in certain situations is condescending, right,
Speaker 1: And it's not a big deal. But when you know,
Speaker 1: like I remember pulling up with an Arizona, I pull
Speaker 1: up to Valet and getting out to go get something
Speaker 1: to eat, and how long can be your boss? And
Speaker 1: finally I looked him. He called me like boss three times,
Speaker 1: like forty seconds. I said, my name is Sean. It's
Speaker 1: not boss. When i'm your boss, you can call me.
Speaker 1: I ain't your boss. But you know, it's it's like
Speaker 1: that young to old thing, right, or older thing than them.
Speaker 1: It's and it's not that big a deal, but it's
Speaker 1: like it's just like fingernails and it just chaps my asshole,
Speaker 1: kind of like you saying it's just just hey, cheers.
Speaker 6: Well, it's like one of the coaches we had in
Speaker 6: high school, Coach Fits is if you ever called him
Speaker 6: Fits or anything other than coach, he would always I'm
Speaker 6: not your drinking buddy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your coach to call me like and rightfully so
Speaker 1: he's he's damned rights like a doctor. We said that before,
Speaker 1: but and I get it because but I don't ever
Speaker 1: hear thanks boss. Now when I see it, when I
Speaker 1: watch NCIS and and and Tony says it to Mark Harmon,
Speaker 1: you know, then it's like, you know, thanks boss. That
Speaker 1: that's the respect of yeah you know you know that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you call him? Boss? Though, It's like it's
Speaker 1: the respect that thanks both when they say we got
Speaker 1: to get this, got you boss, Well, that means that
Speaker 1: you're you're your your answering to the big dog.
Speaker 6: Sometimes I will go chief or something like that if
Speaker 6: I forgot the name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I get that. Yeah Chief another one, dude,
Speaker 1: those are fight thanks chief, would you? Yeah? I know
Speaker 1: it's that when people do that, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think they mean it like we sometimes we take it,
Speaker 1: but it just feels too a little too a little
Speaker 1: almost like they're trying to troll a little. Ye right,
Speaker 1: that's not that they're trying.
Speaker 6: To troll, but I mean I think it like almost
Speaker 6: kind of like makes you feel more.
Speaker 1: It's a bit condescending if they mean it.
Speaker 6: There is there is errors of that, like like I
Speaker 6: was gonna I was gonna say, I don't know if
Speaker 6: like it makes you feel more dignified, but like it's
Speaker 6: just like yes, there there is that it.
Speaker 1: Brings us closer together because we're good enough. I can
Speaker 1: call you boss and it's like condescending or like, don't
Speaker 1: think that just because i'm Valet Parking or then that
Speaker 1: that I can't call you boss in a condescending way.
Speaker 1: It didn't matter with the job with Valley Park or CEO.
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're twenty five and you're calling
Speaker 1: a seventy year old or a forty year old boss.
Speaker 1: It's like it just feels weird if you don't know them.
Speaker 1: It's it's just like a response in a text of
Speaker 1: just thanks, Yeah, that's that means that there's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a little too cold, does that make sense? And this
Speaker 1: is a little too warm with the the other extreme
Speaker 1: like hey, thanks, chief, I throw back t y. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Like our good buddy Brian Cushing once when we were
Speaker 6: getting them on the air, he he gave me the
Speaker 6: idea to start using this as uh, you know, I
Speaker 6: just texted him back, Hey, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1: NP No probably. I was like, hey, you know what
Speaker 1: all like that? Shortening it all up? Man, No waste time,
Speaker 1: no wasted no wasted motion, no wasted time, no wasted energy,
Speaker 1: any of those things. It's not that big a deal
Speaker 1: with Sometimes it's like, are you condescending me? I wouldn't
Speaker 1: condescend you, no matter what your job everything is. But
Speaker 1: like everything, I'm a little older than your saying boss.
Speaker 1: Just to be a wise ass, is it dear vernacular?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 1: Like we say hello? The tone yeah and the tenor
Speaker 1: no question? Yeah? Tone, tone and tenor both those things?
Speaker 1: The two teas?
Speaker 6: Yes, uh, you know, speaking of energy and a team
Speaker 6: that hopes they have good energy, that's the Astros. Roger
Speaker 6: wants to talk about the Astros. Could they be energized
Speaker 6: after the trade deadline?
Speaker 1: Good morning Roger, Good morning Jans.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 7: I just think this picture it was grossly overchewed. They
Speaker 7: need to be rewarded, and I'm not sure Cedric knows
Speaker 7: is a guy you need to be rewarded with. It
Speaker 7: looks like he got two ten hitter give a slapping.
Speaker 7: He can play a couple of positions, But you want
Speaker 7: a guy with the stick man. You want to make
Speaker 7: a trade don't make a trade for the for the
Speaker 7: sake of making a trade. You know, let's make one.
Speaker 7: You're gonna make a trade, guys, you know, get him rewarded. Man,
Speaker 7: these guys have been busting it, you know, and uh,
Speaker 7: you know, as for all for all mccollor's as good
Speaker 7: intentions too is by the way, I think you man
Speaker 7: gets down to it only because simply because you waste
Speaker 7: too many pops. He's just waste too many take pictures
Speaker 7: at this point. And I just think next year, when
Speaker 7: he gets very wrapped up and he gets a whole
Speaker 7: season to to do it, then then we'll we'll look
Speaker 7: at him then. I just I just think that he's
Speaker 7: better served than the bullpen this year. We you know,
Speaker 7: thank god, we have a surplus of vice that came
Speaker 7: out of freaking nowhere. But you know, you got these opportunities,
Speaker 7: I think. And yeah, guys, like I said that, mothers,
Speaker 7: you know you need to just you know, look bad.
Speaker 7: I don't know how how the sauce is gonna be made.
Speaker 7: I don't want to know, but I just want to know.
Speaker 7: I just I just know that these guys need a stick.
Speaker 7: And I'm not sure Yourdon's coming back to be the
Speaker 7: Orda on the heat. Nobody really knows somebody on and
Speaker 7: you can't really hang your hopes on that he's gonna
Speaker 7: come back. He's gonna be Yeah, just you just need
Speaker 7: to need to uh, you know, this ship the way
Speaker 7: you've been doing it, and and you know, don't don't
Speaker 7: you know, don't wait for making a good move. Man,
Speaker 7: let's see it.
Speaker 6: I appreciate it, Roger. I mean, I count on Jordon
Speaker 6: when he's ready to come back. I mean, you know,
Speaker 6: it's something that we can continue after the steakout too.
Speaker 6: But I mean Dana Brown with some interesting things on that.
Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, let's do that. Uh, the
Speaker 6: Steakout's coming up, and then after that bottom of this hour,
Speaker 6: let you hear a little bit from Dana Brown because
Speaker 6: an encouraging update on Jordon yesterday and maybe back sooner
Speaker 6: rather than later.
Speaker 1: We'll let you hear all of that.
Speaker 6: But coming up next, a historic franchise the final time,
Speaker 6: Well we can talk about it here. It is a
Speaker 6: Sean Salisbury Show on a Monday Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 8: Listen to emotionally tied to the team.
Speaker 3: The Sean Salisbury Show continues.
Speaker 9: Hi, let's go.
Speaker 1: All right, Sean, what are you hearing out there now?
Speaker 2: The Salisbury's takeout Salisbury Takeout on.
Speaker 3: The Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 6: On a Monday here on your home of the Astros
Speaker 6: and the Rockets Sports Talk seven ninety, both of those
Speaker 6: organizations in the news because the Astros beat the Cubs
Speaker 6: to nothing take two out of three from them over
Speaker 6: at dik And Park on the weekend, and Jabari Smith
Speaker 6: Junior extended on a five year, one hundred and twenty
Speaker 6: two million dollar deal. According to reports, Top Gun Sean,
Speaker 6: we got the return of Maverick a couple of years ago.
Speaker 6: That was like kind of our first return back to
Speaker 6: movie theaters, I feel like, because COVID obviously movie theaters
Speaker 6: weren't open all that kind of stuff, and took a
Speaker 6: little bit of time to get back because things were
Speaker 6: being released earlier on streams. So people were just like, well,
Speaker 6: I'll skip out on doing that and I'll just do
Speaker 6: all the good stuff, you know, good things at my house.
Speaker 6: And that was the first time I feel like when
Speaker 6: we all said, okay, fine, you know what, I'll go
Speaker 6: back to the theaters again. Top Gun three is a go.
Speaker 6: According to director Joseph Kazinski. He was on or He
Speaker 6: talked to GQ magazine and he said, I think we
Speaker 6: found a way to do it, not only the scale
Speaker 6: of what we're proposing, but the idea of self, of
Speaker 6: the story we're telling, and synesthetic adding.
Speaker 1: To it with a tweet.
Speaker 6: Top Gun three will explore Maverick confronting an essential crisis.
Speaker 1: There's one last ride for Maverick. I think that does
Speaker 1: that what is going to be called Maverick One last ride?
Speaker 1: I think so? Yeah.
Speaker 6: See, and and part of me with that you would say,
Speaker 6: you know, oh, it's just gonna be Maverick.
Speaker 1: You know, he'll they'll go on it on a dangerous mission,
Speaker 1: just like he and and time are we talking about
Speaker 1: when they say that that we're going to be fighting
Speaker 1: zombies or something. I don't think they'll be fighting zombies.
Speaker 6: I mean I would think that probably with the current,
Speaker 6: you know, situation we have in the Middle East. I mean,
Speaker 6: I'm trying to remember, was it the Russians that they
Speaker 6: were going after and in Top Gun two where they
Speaker 6: had to, you know, do the really dangerous pull up
Speaker 6: up with tons.
Speaker 1: Of well, when somebody dropped the bomb to clear it
Speaker 1: out and another one comes by and drops the right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta and then you gotta climb because you run
Speaker 1: into the mat. Yeah, it was it in the hills somewhere,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I think you might be right. So I
Speaker 1: don't know who the opponent will be here, But that's good.
Speaker 1: That's first I've heard of it.
Speaker 6: I was going to say, I think you've got to
Speaker 6: go some sort of Mid East dictatorship or something.
Speaker 1: Let's go then you don't have to go that far.
Speaker 1: Just go to New York City and battle that bear, okay,
Speaker 1: or that they not yet yet, the the the there
Speaker 1: hopeful for one party. Yeah, go there, because you don't
Speaker 1: even have to go overseas to find it because he's
Speaker 1: going to turn it into and what do you have
Speaker 1: to go chase down? So good luck.
Speaker 6: I think in this case. I think in this case
Speaker 6: we we will have a different enemy. But at least
Speaker 6: at first when I saw this, I said, oh, no,
Speaker 6: they're gonna kill off Maverick.
Speaker 1: That's that's how they kill you.
Speaker 6: I mean, I would think that if you didn't already
Speaker 6: have the storyline of there's one Last Ride, then you
Speaker 6: know you probably could because then if nothing else, you
Speaker 6: could at least have the franchise go to Miles Teller
Speaker 6: and he's like the next step of Top Gun. He
Speaker 6: becomes Pete Mitchell himself, and then Bill Pullman's son, you know,
Speaker 6: Glenn Powell, whoever else you know, they're they're all part
Speaker 6: of it. But in this case right here with Cruz,
Speaker 6: you know, I'm almost wondering if it's final.
Speaker 1: Do you think give me the right hander?
Speaker 6: I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I think they
Speaker 6: will have like a passing of the torch, Like I
Speaker 6: don't think I think the current incarnation of Top Gun
Speaker 6: it will be. But Miles Teller is just getting going
Speaker 6: and he did a really good job. And Top Maverick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and dude, the franchise is printing money, So why
Speaker 1: end it? I wouldn't. I mean, if you can find
Speaker 1: ways to keep I mean, like fast Interfear, say, just
Speaker 1: keep finding ways to new vehicles and new fights and
Speaker 1: the rest of it. If you can find somebody who's
Speaker 1: got the same swagger that Cruz has is Maverick, and
Speaker 1: you can make it and you feel good about it,
Speaker 1: just the name alone, this the you know, this the
Speaker 1: the whole franchise, Prince Money. So I doubt it'll be
Speaker 1: the last one, but the last one with Cruise obviously. Well,
Speaker 1: but I mean, look at what Rocky has done where
Speaker 1: you know, Stallan is like, I can't get in the
Speaker 1: ring anymore. Guys, you can't do that to me, right,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm busy running a family in Tulsa, right,
Speaker 1: which I did.
Speaker 6: I did finish both of those seasons. A great show.
Speaker 6: It's underrated show. Yeah, I'm the King. I finished watching
Speaker 6: this this weekend. I love the one guy tries to
Speaker 6: rob them at the casino and his buddy Goodie goes,
Speaker 6: where are you gonna go?
Speaker 2: Mars?
Speaker 1: Exactly? What a great show?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 1: It really is really, really really good show. But yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's good. Note news, And when do we have
Speaker 1: released twenty eight or something.
Speaker 6: I have not seen a release date for Top Gun three,
Speaker 6: but at least that the idea is.
Speaker 1: In the works, strip down and get ing rolling and
Speaker 1: it will be done.
Speaker 6: And Maverick stars expected to be on board for this one,
Speaker 6: so that's of course, Miles Teller, Glenn Powell. They are
Speaker 6: expected to return for the third film, and Cruz could
Speaker 6: very well pass on the Top Gun legacy to the
Speaker 6: next generation.
Speaker 1: So there you go, that's what it is. He'll come back.
Speaker 6: This time it will be he and Jennifer Conley running
Speaker 6: off and and you know, because it did kind of
Speaker 6: lead you to believe that it was like, all right,
Speaker 6: that's it. You know, good job, Pete. If you finished
Speaker 6: the job, you got back to the aircraft carrier not
Speaker 6: named after camp Smith, but an aircraft carrier, and then
Speaker 6: you got back to Kell.
Speaker 1: You know, you know Jennifer Conley, Right, Yeah, it's time
Speaker 1: for those two to go live happily ever after and
Speaker 1: maybe have a baby. At this point, I would probably
Speaker 1: say that's out the window. But I know it's movies, Dan,
Speaker 1: I can do anything I want.
Speaker 6: That's true. Okay, that's true. But then you are sixty
Speaker 6: something years old. You really need Tom Cruise doing that?
Speaker 1: Well, uh is it? Is it de Niro or Pacino
Speaker 1: or having baby? Aren't they in there? Aren't they?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean it just depends on you to see if
Speaker 1: what's his name? Yeah, and Belichick goes out route he
Speaker 1: may does she want a baby? Yeah? There are twice. Right,
Speaker 1: he doesn't need that bill, you don't need Maybe he does,
Speaker 1: maybe a kinder gender bill. Okay, well he's already got
Speaker 1: three grown up, bring another one into the world. Damn
Speaker 1: if you're the three grown up ones, give the woman
Speaker 1: what she wants. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not calling them
Speaker 1: my brother. No you will, No, No, I won't, Yes,
Speaker 1: you will, I won't. If your mom and dad decide
Speaker 1: to have another baby, you'll call it.
Speaker 6: He'll be your little brother. That's out the windows. Okay, okay, yeah,
Speaker 6: trust me. We're good with two Me and my brother,
Speaker 6: right and he with his kids and and uh you know,
Speaker 6: uh my my soon to be brother in law and
Speaker 6: his two boys. Yeah, I feel you. But you know what,
Speaker 6: Baby Belichick needs to bring it. Maybe ma, he needs
Speaker 6: to make Mama happy. I don't know, Maybe he needs
Speaker 6: to No, not that way, No, see talking. See that's
Speaker 6: that's I was gonna say. I think you're good with that.
Speaker 6: You you're good. You're good with.
Speaker 1: What's a little disdain though, Danny.
Speaker 6: Well, it's because I just don't even want to think
Speaker 6: about the process.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want to think about their make it love? No, No,
Speaker 1: not anywhere close Cruise and Conley. No, Tommy, Tommy's got
Speaker 1: to be in his what mid sixties now sixty two,
Speaker 1: sixty two you can still bring it.
Speaker 6: And he's still doing all his own stunts. So that's
Speaker 6: why I love I forget was it sixty minutes or somebody.
Speaker 6: The guy that was up in the helicopter with him
Speaker 6: and he, you know, cruise gets out onto the the
Speaker 6: the I guess landing gear whatever you want to call
Speaker 6: it you're talking about. It was for the new mission impossible.
Speaker 6: And you know, he thought he's moving. He's got the
Speaker 6: microphone on and he's got his his jump pack on
Speaker 6: and he asked. The guy goes, you're coming. He goes,
Speaker 6: not on your life. He goes, all right, see you
Speaker 6: down there. He jumps off there you.
Speaker 1: Go see you. That's right. He does his own he
Speaker 1: uh knew.
Speaker 6: It was when James Corden was still likable, which we
Speaker 6: found out pretty quickly that he wasn't. Uh, but when
Speaker 6: he happened, well you found out what an absolute just
Speaker 6: you know, toothy Jerky was. So once once you found
Speaker 6: that out, you were like, all right, you.
Speaker 1: Know that because you had him. He was just a
Speaker 1: fun loving guy, right. See, when you find out nothing
Speaker 1: like that, right.
Speaker 6: It's people like that that that you think he's a
Speaker 6: wolf in clothing saying yeah, because I mean I think
Speaker 6: it's it's one of those that they show, they show
Speaker 6: certain people that side, and it's it's more or less
Speaker 6: just to fool them, right. I mean, it worked out
Speaker 6: well for him, and then soon enough it didn't because
Speaker 6: then the networks were like, well, you know that that
Speaker 6: ruse is kind of gone. We can't really put him
Speaker 6: back out there. Oh he's a fun loving gen Gordon.
Speaker 1: No, he's not.
Speaker 6: He treats servers like garbage, and he treats people like garbage.
Speaker 1: So he kind of went away, didn't he. Yeah, look,
Speaker 1: I'm finny, not hard to treat people kindly, not hard.
Speaker 6: See, And that's what I always tell people is you
Speaker 6: know they see people like that, Oh that's the way
Speaker 6: I gotta be. I go, you're looking at it the
Speaker 6: wrong way. That's a short win right there. To be
Speaker 6: that way is to fool people, to do all of that,
Speaker 6: because soon enough the true nature comes out and people
Speaker 6: know exactly who you are, and then you don't get
Speaker 6: opportunities anymore because they're like, yeah, you fooled me long enough, you.
Speaker 1: A lot more effort to be an idiot. Too much work, man, consistency,
Speaker 1: even if you want it, it's just too much work.
Speaker 6: Well, it's just exactly that. I mean, why why do
Speaker 6: you want to It's not this cat no, no, me neither.
Speaker 6: But anyway, Top Gun three it will ride great news.
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm sure it'll be good because in truth,
Speaker 1: if you really want, there's a handful actors. If you
Speaker 1: say you want the movie to make money, m hm,
Speaker 1: Cruise is one of them. He just is right, doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if it's a mission possible franchise, doesn't matter if
Speaker 1: it's a Top Gun franchise. Whatever did the Jack reach
Speaker 1: a franchise? You know? With with with that whatever Cruise
Speaker 1: gets involved in. In truth, he's a money maker. He
Speaker 1: just is.
Speaker 6: TV show Jack Reacher is more in line with the
Speaker 6: book character than.
Speaker 1: The physical the physical appearance. Yet he still can sell
Speaker 1: those movies still, you know what I'm saying, The Cruise can.
Speaker 1: So yeah, make no mistake, whether you think it's the
Speaker 1: best one or not, it will print money because it's
Speaker 1: that fine franchise and Cruise is involved. When he's a
Speaker 1: he's a grinder and he doesn't. Frank does a hell
Speaker 1: of a job. Man.
Speaker 6: There you go, And then soon enough Liam Neeson in
Speaker 6: the same character.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and guess what in the movie houses are like? Yeah,
Speaker 1: as long as that money keeps printing. Brother, we're in.
Speaker 1: It's gonna find ways.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be the former Belfast detective right, Liam Neeson,
Speaker 6: his wife passed a few years ago.
Speaker 1: Give me oh yeah, trying to make up with them.
Speaker 6: He's in the local pub when somebody tries to come
Speaker 6: in and muscle the pub owner.
Speaker 1: Down and out, and that springs him into Oh he's back.
Speaker 1: That's it. Are you working again, John? Yeah? I would
Speaker 1: say that. Yeah, that's exactly right. Gotta love them, gotta
Speaker 1: love them.
Speaker 6: But uh, anyway, all right, let's get back into the

Speaker 6: The seven o'clock hour, seven to ninety listener line is
Speaker 6: presented by one eight hundred car cash and Sean I
Speaker 6: teased it as a couple of bits of audio that
Speaker 6: make you optimistic.
Speaker 1: We'll start first, at least with.
Speaker 6: The one that we can get an immediate payoff from,
Speaker 6: and that is Jordan Alvarez. We see yesterday from Brian McTaggart, Chandlerome,
Speaker 6: Matt Kawahara, whoever was out there during early batting practice
Speaker 6: sharing footage.
Speaker 1: Jordahm was in the cage.
Speaker 6: He was taking actual batting practice off one of the
Speaker 6: coaches or one of the staff members throwing batting practice,
Speaker 6: and he's in there taking swings. And we find out
Speaker 6: that he and Chaz both boarded a plane yesterday and
Speaker 6: are currently in West Palm Beach and are gonna face
Speaker 6: live pitching this week. Dana Brown talking about if that
Speaker 6: means we are even one step closer to Jordan coming
Speaker 6: back soon.
Speaker 13: Yeah, So Jordin, you know, outstanding today on the field,
Speaker 13: you know, no discomfort or pain afterwards, feeling really good.
Speaker 13: Gonna hop on a flight later today, go down to
Speaker 13: West Palm and you know, look, he's gonna hit live.
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit live off live pitcher.
Speaker 13: You know, he'll probably face you know, Javier while he's
Speaker 13: down there, maybe Garcia and some of our other guys
Speaker 13: that are down there throwing lives. He's gonna get a
Speaker 13: chance to face some major league pictures and then we'll
Speaker 13: evaluate him after that, you know, as too is it
Speaker 13: gonna be, sugarman? Do we feel like we can expedite
Speaker 13: this thing and bring up to la you know, which
Speaker 13: is not the most likely scenario. But we're not, you know,
Speaker 13: putting that aside. We're just going to take a look.
Speaker 13: But we need to get him down there and have
Speaker 13: him start to hit some.
Speaker 1: Lives, all right, So get him down there, start hitting.
Speaker 6: Gotta believe probably each day, four five at bats, whatever
Speaker 6: it is, just to try to get him ramped up
Speaker 6: and try to get him back. But the other question
Speaker 6: I have about all this, Sean, is I understand he'd
Speaker 6: been doing baseball activities, running, throwing, fielding out there in
Speaker 6: left field, all of those different things. He hasn't played
Speaker 6: now in over two months. I mean, I think, what's
Speaker 6: it this? This Wednesday will be two months since he's
Speaker 6: been on the field. That's a lot of time away.
Speaker 6: How much working out has he even been able to do,
Speaker 6: being able to get into the weight room and do
Speaker 6: those things and everything else that goes.
Speaker 1: Well, I can't imagine he does in a whole lot
Speaker 1: of freeways hanging off with the wrist, that area of
Speaker 1: the hand to me that you know, whether it's movement
Speaker 1: where you don't have you know, listen, we're in a
Speaker 1: time now. With the expertise and all the training you have,
Speaker 1: you can get stronger by doing a lot of work
Speaker 1: without actually gripping a weight or you know, you put
Speaker 1: the things on your wrist, whatever it is. I would
Speaker 1: imagine plenty. But because you have a sore hand or
Speaker 1: a fracture or you know your your your that's hurting
Speaker 1: and you're out a couple of months, your legs are fine,
Speaker 1: I would imagine treadmill and running and getting himself. I
Speaker 1: can't put it this way. There should be zero excuse.
Speaker 1: And he's a d H. So it's not like if
Speaker 1: we're running marathons and he's a four by four hundred
Speaker 1: meter you know, Reley guy, or we're asking him to
Speaker 1: go out and you know, win marathons and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And to Kathleen, we're asking to be in shape enough
Speaker 1: to swing the bat and that his lower halves in shape,
Speaker 1: and that is that he's healthy and healed with his hand.
Speaker 1: So as far as staying in the cardio conditioning that
Speaker 1: takes uh, I mean it's not exactly. You know, like
Speaker 1: I said, you're not playing wherever eight seconds you're playing
Speaker 1: another down or playing fast in a football game. In
Speaker 1: college football, he'll have time to rest to do his thing.
Speaker 1: But strength wise, there's a lot of ways you can
Speaker 1: get stronger without having to actually grip a weight. And
Speaker 1: I think that those guys are a lot smarter than
Speaker 1: me at it. But just from my vantage point, being
Speaker 1: out of shape should not be a problem. He should
Speaker 1: actually being good because in truth, when the season's going on,
Speaker 1: you ain't doing a lot of running. Dude, you're swinging
Speaker 1: a bat, going to the next city, swinging a bat,
Speaker 1: going the next city, playing some left field, and then
Speaker 1: like you're doing a whole lot of work. That's your maintaining.
Speaker 1: He should actually be in better shape now. He went
Speaker 1: through spring, came in now he's had too much to
Speaker 1: cardio do it all, where everything he's done has been
Speaker 1: about getting healthy and staying in condition. So he should
Speaker 1: actually be in because listen, if you're playing it honestly,
Speaker 1: other than Catcher, if you're the first baseman, how much
Speaker 1: cardi you work out, you're probably getting your lifts in
Speaker 1: between to stay to maintain you're not your body can't.
Speaker 1: I mean just on hundred six two games, you're not
Speaker 1: out there, you know, in your days off going out
Speaker 1: there and running intervals, you're getting some rest. So I
Speaker 1: would imagine he's in better condition because of the fact
Speaker 1: he's had time off and realizes he's you can only
Speaker 1: hit for so long a day, so what else am
Speaker 1: I gonna do the rest of the day. I got
Speaker 1: to keep my body in shape. It can work the
Speaker 1: exercise the lower half, the core that core ain't getting
Speaker 1: in the way of in that hand's not getting a
Speaker 1: way of any core work. So that, to me, that's
Speaker 1: no excuse now is timing of hitting, of course, But
Speaker 1: when it comes to the cardio or the quick twitch
Speaker 1: or him being in shape, he actually has a too
Speaker 1: much extended training because spring training. I know he played some,
Speaker 1: but you get my point is that he's had two
Speaker 1: extra months now to focus on his body and get
Speaker 1: it right without having to travel and do it all.
Speaker 1: This should be not this is not a problem. If
Speaker 1: we were talking boxing, I'd have a different answer for you.
Speaker 1: Even then, though, why you able to punch? Your body
Speaker 1: should still be in condition. And you also know mentally
Speaker 1: that I can't get too comfortable and say, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: a baseball player, I'm a dh I don't have to stay.
Speaker 1: Of course he does, because his lower half is powerful
Speaker 1: and he's always in the dude looks like he could
Speaker 1: run forever. He's always been in good shape, so I
Speaker 1: would imagine he's taking it pretty serious. It's just a
Speaker 1: simple timing and grip of the bat and how much
Speaker 1: that hurts. As far as his lower half in core.
Speaker 1: He should not be one day out of shape because
Speaker 1: baseball is not exactly during the season. It's the grind
Speaker 1: and the mental grind. It's not exactly training your ass
Speaker 1: off to get ready for a triathlon.
Speaker 6: It's just the time off and the timing as well well.
Speaker 6: And it's that, but it's also how close you are
Speaker 6: to the All Star break that I mean, it's just
Speaker 6: what's another week at this point, Like, what's what's another
Speaker 6: week to get him those at bats, even if it's
Speaker 6: as Danny even mentioned in Sugarland or whatever it is,
Speaker 6: which frankly, I'd want to just keep him there in
Speaker 6: West Palm Beach, have him go through a little bit
Speaker 6: more work there during the All Star break. So as
Speaker 6: soon as that Friday hits, okay, weull go. There's no
Speaker 6: way he You're seeing him before the All Star Game.
Speaker 6: I have to tell you tomorrow's July first. So let's
Speaker 6: let's do the math.
Speaker 1: If he's down in West Palm, he ain't gonna be
Speaker 1: down in West Palm for a day, right, wouldn't you
Speaker 1: think they're gonna want to fly bats? Come back the
Speaker 1: next day? Like it's a three game series and like,
Speaker 1: and let's see how you recover. You heard Dan say, well,
Speaker 1: see how your response to it. He has any pain,
Speaker 1: Let's say I response to it, now live pitching and
Speaker 1: doing it. So let's say you do that for a week.
Speaker 1: Let's I don't even know what the protocol is for this,
Speaker 1: but let's say it's a week, and now you come back.
Speaker 1: The only way he's here. Also, if he walks out
Speaker 1: of that week and they say let's go, and they
Speaker 1: don't send him to Sugarland, they want to expedite the process,
Speaker 1: and they put him on a major league roster. But
Speaker 1: even then, if it's a week, maybe it's two weeks
Speaker 1: or ten days, he comes If he has to go
Speaker 1: to Sugarland, there's no way. But if he has to,
Speaker 1: if he comes back and does it, so that would
Speaker 1: take us the fourth to the eleventh. You said the
Speaker 1: Ulstar breaks in seventeenth or sixteenth, somewhere in that range.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's in the tens, right, the fourteenth, Okay, so
Speaker 6: it'll be the two teenth.
Speaker 1: Get it's two weeks from tomorrow? Am I correct when
Speaker 1: I say that? Two weeks from tomorrow? Why would you?
Speaker 1: You're fifty and thirty four. Now he goes and let's say,
Speaker 1: gets some at bats, then the All Star Game hits,
Speaker 1: he's back off red. Now that's not a bad thing,
Speaker 1: resting it for a few days, but why not just
Speaker 1: give him the extra rest, especially if you've won a
Speaker 1: couple series. You should dominate the Colorado Rockies and then
Speaker 1: you have who'd you say, Dan Dodger. No, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1: You're back out to LA. Now that's high. You'd love
Speaker 1: to have him in a high leverage and a high
Speaker 1: pressure situation like that, planning against that which may be
Speaker 1: a World Series matchup. But in truth, can you survive
Speaker 1: without him in those in that series? And the answer
Speaker 1: is yes. So if they're gonna go by, don't speed
Speaker 1: it up. Now, if he's one hundred percent I've always
Speaker 1: said this, If he's one hundred percent healthy, and you
Speaker 1: see his bat speed and his quickness, but play him
Speaker 1: if it's one game. Play him, what's the way? I'm
Speaker 1: all for it. But if you're still saying, let's get
Speaker 1: if you're questioning if we should give him another week,
Speaker 1: give him another week. If you all of a sudden
Speaker 1: after this week or five days or ten however long
Speaker 1: he's down in West Palm and you walk out of
Speaker 1: there saying he'll be hitting clean up two days from
Speaker 1: now or hitting third two days from now, Bam, play him.
Speaker 9: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't care if you care. If it's against Colorado, hell,
Speaker 1: a little confident is driving the buck? Did you say Colorado? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're playing Colorado? Didn't Dodgers?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 1: Seeing back home?
Speaker 9: Fright?
Speaker 1: So the techo West Coast, a couple trips and you
Speaker 1: said Cleveland, Texas?
Speaker 6: Right, So there you go, and you go and to
Speaker 6: take care of it and that if he's healthy. But
Speaker 6: if you're questioning might, it's easy for me. What do
Speaker 6: you guys think?
Speaker 1: Should we? If you're asking me if we should, then
Speaker 1: you got it. Then I'm telling you wait till the
Speaker 1: All Star game's over, the break is over. If you're saying, no, brainer,
Speaker 1: we need him in the lineup. He's healthy, why wait?
Speaker 1: So if you're asking if the question exists. Man, you
Speaker 1: think he needs another week? Give him another week.
Speaker 6: Dana Brown also talking about Jeremy Panio. We'll share that
Speaker 6: with you either before or after we hear from Steve Sparks.
Speaker 6: But Rick c right there. We'll get you involved. You
Speaker 6: want to join him? Someone three two one two five
Speaker 6: seven ninety. Again it's someone three two one two five
Speaker 6: at seven ninety. Don't forget. Steve Sparks joined us in
Speaker 6: about fifteen minutes right here for his Monday visit on
Speaker 6: the Shown Salisbury Show.
Speaker 3: The Shawn Salisbury Show continued.
Speaker 1: So our firefighters respond to them and then we have
Speaker 1: snipers taking them out. It's terrible they happened. Cordlaina, Idaho
Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, I saw that starting fires, getting them
Speaker 1: to respond to them, and actually attacking them and setting
Speaker 1: them up. That's why people who are first responder and
Speaker 1: their special people and it's in in a sniper mode
Speaker 1: to set them up and then take them out. Who
Speaker 1: does that? What the world are we doing? What the
Speaker 1: world are we doing?
Speaker 9: Here?
Speaker 1: And in Toronto at the at their parade, they're literally
Speaker 1: walking the parade. But asked naked, I just I mean,
Speaker 1: I understand you're sending a message that ain't the mess,
Speaker 1: is it? I don't. I mean if you walk down
Speaker 1: to the Mill Street naked, what would happen? Would get arrested?
Speaker 1: And would you get arrested? And right fleet, well, well
Speaker 1: who shouldn't. I just the world we live in now
Speaker 1: you wake up to and say, you know what, anything
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do? I think I am going to start
Speaker 1: a fire and assassinate, do everything I can to take
Speaker 1: them out with a sniper rifle. The guys who are
Speaker 1: going to respond to a fire in court Aint, Idaho. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I don't mean to get off there. It's
Speaker 1: just been every day. It's something what we tolerate and
Speaker 1: what we allow. I hope, And this is gonna sound harsh,
Speaker 1: and I really don't care. As the search continues for
Speaker 1: these guys. Unless it's happened since we've I would imagine
Speaker 1: we'd see breaking news on our TV. They they don't
Speaker 1: deserve to go back to jail, to go to jail,
Speaker 1: they'll take their ass out, eliminate the problem. Then, if
Speaker 1: you've got a question, should we or should we? Because
Speaker 1: that sean that's archaic. Oh well, I'm an I for
Speaker 1: an eye guy. When it comes to that, you just
Speaker 1: ruined two families, regardless, just the thought process that now
Speaker 1: every single now. Now, if you're a firefighter, you've got
Speaker 1: to go to work wondering if they've set you up
Speaker 1: to take you out and set the fire on purpose
Speaker 1: to put you in harm's way. It's harm's way, not
Speaker 1: to fight the fire. Yeah enough, I'm just telling you.
Speaker 1: Put our snipers at the best in their ability. Those
Speaker 1: guys don't deserve to go back and have a trial.
Speaker 1: Take them out. And the last thing I want to hear, yeah,
Speaker 1: they both of them had or if it's two or
Speaker 1: three or five, I don't know how many. It is
Speaker 1: mental illness, no kidding, you know what mental illness or not.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you right now, if you lose the
Speaker 1: right to make any decisions after you do that are firefighters?
Speaker 1: Yeah no, you know what, Bud. I'm just sorry to
Speaker 1: tell you. It sounds archaic or not. I don't care
Speaker 1: who's who doesn't like it. I'm all for it. Eliminate
Speaker 1: the problem. And there's one way to do it. Keep
Speaker 1: them out of our keep them even out of our
Speaker 1: off our streets, and out of the jail as well.
Speaker 1: Put there, put them in a body bag, and let's
Speaker 1: get and make sure you take care of the problem
Speaker 1: so somebody else doesn't get the idea that look what
Speaker 1: I can do and get away with it. Eliminate it. Period.
Speaker 1: Let's lighten the mood.
Speaker 6: And a way we can do that is our good
Speaker 6: buddy Steve Sparks, joins us every Monday here with the
Speaker 6: Shawn Salisbury Show. We'll do that right here. It is

Speaker 9: Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 2: Sean Salisbury, Salisbury, so USC Trophes, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 3: Dan Matthew, excuse, this is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 1: Great to have him on, Steve, welcome in. What have
Speaker 1: you learned that you didn't know about cam Smith? Eighty
Speaker 1: games into the season.
Speaker 4: I have could say that he could make adjustments more
Speaker 4: quickly than I thought he might be able to. That
Speaker 4: We saw it because it reminded us of jord On
Speaker 4: when we first saw jord On. The pitch recognition and
Speaker 4: his strikes, own discipline, all those things are always going
Speaker 4: to lead.
Speaker 9: To pretty quick adjustments. But I didn't think he'd.
Speaker 4: Be able to, you know, shoot fastballs the other way
Speaker 4: and hit the brake of balls that are hanging over
Speaker 4: the ter thirdy plate and pull those in the seats
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 9: So we're starting to see it get better and better
Speaker 9: as he recognizes how other teams are trying to pitch it.
Speaker 9: But he makes very quick adjustments, and I didn't expect.
Speaker 1: That, Steve. It probably unfair question to you, but you've
Speaker 1: covered it, played it for so long, so I'm looking
Speaker 1: at him and comparisons are a pain and he asked,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna make you give me or at least
Speaker 1: try to get one from you anyway early in his career,
Speaker 1: not on the Astros, outside with the guys you've seen basically,
Speaker 1: what's the ceiling and is there a guy you think
Speaker 1: he reminds you of?
Speaker 8: Well, I haven't thought about that yet, so I might
Speaker 8: not be able to. I could probably, you know, if
Speaker 8: I sat down for a little bit.
Speaker 9: A right hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll touch you up with it next week on
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 8: But Data was.
Speaker 4: Talking about that as he shouted him for three games
Speaker 4: in college last year and knew that he wasn't going
Speaker 4: to slide to the Astros.
Speaker 9: It's just how funny that is that you do it.
Speaker 9: That's still having a.
Speaker 4: Chance to get him in a train a little later on,
Speaker 4: but he saw him as an amateur and watching him
Speaker 4: at third base, realizing, this guy's going to get a
Speaker 4: little bigger projection wise, and.
Speaker 9: This is what good scouts do. I project him as
Speaker 9: a right fielder, and he was exactly right. Man, He's
Speaker 9: a natural and right field and I don't think he's
Speaker 9: going to move from there.
Speaker 1: Oh we talking Stevens. Forget the comparison to another player,
Speaker 1: but you can probably you know what the floor and
Speaker 1: the ceiling are. You can at least get an idea. Now,
Speaker 1: things change and injuries and hopefully that won't happen. But
Speaker 1: just looking at his skill set and ability to do
Speaker 1: the things you talked about the quick adjustments, he feels
Speaker 1: to me like he's mentally and emotionally tough for a
Speaker 1: young kid as well. Do we have a ceiling? Are
Speaker 1: we talking about good player star or we're talking like
Speaker 1: superstar qualities that we see from the best of the
Speaker 1: best in this league.
Speaker 9: I really don't want to put a ceiling on it.
Speaker 9: I think you're seeing the floor though. Sean in the
Speaker 9: floor is.
Speaker 1: Pretty good right right absolutely, you know he's on the
Speaker 1: like right.
Speaker 4: Now, he's already one of the best o there's when
Speaker 4: you look at the metrics you know in baseball, and
Speaker 4: he's going to continue to get better in that regard
Speaker 4: and as a hitter, he's going to get better better
Speaker 4: as he gets stronger, recognizing the pitches that he can
Speaker 4: really you know, maybe take a shot at. I think
Speaker 4: he's got really good home run potential. Last year, you know,
Speaker 4: even when he signed with Chicago when he was in
Speaker 4: the minor leagues. I think it was six games in
Speaker 4: a row at one point where he had a home run.
Speaker 9: So you could see that.
Speaker 4: He could probably, you know, start to carry a team
Speaker 4: every once in a while, like we've seen great players do,
Speaker 4: and I think he's in that mold.
Speaker 1: Do you believe this team needs another pitcher before the
Speaker 1: All Star break is over or the trading deadline, should
Speaker 1: I say, is done?
Speaker 8: Well, I don't know where.
Speaker 4: That would come from, right So, yeah, they need they
Speaker 4: need more pitching, but that might come from Florida because
Speaker 4: there's four guys pitching there right now that the Astros envision,
Speaker 4: you know, being a part of what's going on with
Speaker 4: Eric Getty.
Speaker 17: Luis Garcia, Christian Javier or somebody o JP France.
Speaker 4: So there's four guys right there that you should have
Speaker 4: confidence in. But you know, getting them healthy and to
Speaker 4: the point where they can get these guys to where
Speaker 4: they want to go that may be another matter.
Speaker 9: So do they need more pitshing?
Speaker 18: Let me tell you something that I heard here in
Speaker 18: the last week or so. Major League Baseball have used
Speaker 18: more and more pitchers every year, right and we've noticed that,
Speaker 18: but we don't know to what degree.
Speaker 8: And now we're to the point, the.
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty five halfway point, basically right now, where Major
Speaker 4: League Baseball has used as many pitchers this year already
Speaker 4: that they employed the entire twenty fourteen season. That's how
Speaker 4: bad it's.
Speaker 1: Gotten half the season in. You've used more than a
Speaker 1: full season in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly, So do the askers need more pitching?
Speaker 1: Everybody does, say all of them do, right, Steve. So
Speaker 1: with that, Steve, you mentioned that in the building, meaning
Speaker 1: you know, inside the organize, with those studs down there,
Speaker 1: if they're healthy and with the hobby or pumping it
Speaker 1: at ninety five, you're like, well, how long? They may
Speaker 1: not be far away? So let me talk about help outside.
Speaker 1: If I Dan had asked me earlier about you know,
Speaker 1: we were talking about a bat or a pitching and
Speaker 1: mentioned some names. Forget the names. But if I put
Speaker 1: your feet to the to the fire, and I said, Steve,
Speaker 1: you only get one judging from the ross. Now, let's
Speaker 1: say even Jordan's in the lineup healthy and you got
Speaker 1: one or two a starting pitcher or a pitcher that
Speaker 1: you need that's versatile, or a left handed bat, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? You can only have one.
Speaker 9: The left handed bat.
Speaker 19: You know what I'm watching, and I see I see
Speaker 19: right handed pictures with the cutters, with Staying started to
Speaker 19: get in the groove with his cutter yesterday and he
Speaker 19: had the Ashers battle.
Speaker 8: I just think that they need more balance in their lineup.
Speaker 19: And the only reason I say that too is you know,
Speaker 19: you can never have enough, but they do have.
Speaker 4: They have some surplus as far as pissing goes, and
Speaker 4: they develop pictures.
Speaker 9: Better than they do back.
Speaker 8: That's just a fact.
Speaker 4: So I think right now the Asters need more balance
Speaker 4: in their lineup, and I think the left data bats
Speaker 4: would be the target.
Speaker 1: Steve, I'm gonna make you John Gruden, you know when
Speaker 1: he does that film study with players for a second,
Speaker 1: and I know your affinity for the guy I'm about
Speaker 1: to mention because you've talked about it. But I also
Speaker 1: know that there's some things that need fixed. And you've
Speaker 1: seen so much baseball. Walk me through it. You're sitting
Speaker 1: in a room and I'm giving you an hour on
Speaker 1: tape and on video however we're doing it, and to
Speaker 1: talk and give insight to Lance mccullors. You can judging,
Speaker 1: you know, Saturday, maybe the aberration, But tell me what
Speaker 1: you'd talk to him about weather, mechanics, his games, any
Speaker 1: of those things. You got an hour with him and
Speaker 1: we're all watching it on TV. What are you guys
Speaker 1: talking about about his game?
Speaker 8: I would just probably.
Speaker 4: Try to get him to throw more fastballs. I think
Speaker 4: that would make all of his offspeed stuff more effective.
Speaker 8: And we've talked about this even before the long layoff.
Speaker 8: He's really good at.
Speaker 4: Making adjustments, and even when he had a plunker earlier
Speaker 4: this season, I think he rattle off four games where
Speaker 4: he had a crazy amount of strikeouts and was very effective.
Speaker 9: So he knows how to make adjustments.
Speaker 4: But just for me and assessing what I see from
Speaker 4: time to time, I think he gets away from his
Speaker 4: fastball when he gets.
Speaker 9: In trouble, and I think it's a good pitch.
Speaker 4: It's even if the velocity is at where it was
Speaker 4: five years ago, it's still always going to be.
Speaker 8: Effective to pitch inside to open things up for everything else.
Speaker 4: And I think it's even more imperative the slower you
Speaker 4: throw to pitch inside to open things up, because you
Speaker 4: won't get away with very many mistakes if guys are
Speaker 4: diving across the place.
Speaker 1: So that would be my big take and do you
Speaker 1: think that's going to happen.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I'm not saying I'm right, and you're asking me what
Speaker 8: I would say.
Speaker 9: So if they feel that's the that's the case, I'm
Speaker 9: not sure.
Speaker 17: I think I think there's a lot of validity to
Speaker 17: that though Baseball to know that if guys are sitting
Speaker 17: stopt then anything you know, marginally over the white part
Speaker 17: of play is much easier to hit it right that
Speaker 17: basketball right at some point.
Speaker 9: So I think that would help.
Speaker 1: You, all right, Steve, judging from the your trip through
Speaker 1: the American League right now, and not just specific, just
Speaker 1: kind of overall broad spectrum. Look, every team has weaknesses
Speaker 1: or stuff that they need work on. Obvious, guys both
Speaker 1: focused on the good teams here, But of the good
Speaker 1: teams that are that we think are contenders to find
Speaker 1: themselves playing in a World Series. Of those teams are
Speaker 1: where the ASTROS rankings the weakness part? Or do they
Speaker 1: have a more glaring weakness than somebody else or are
Speaker 1: they more sound all the way around? I guess where
Speaker 1: do they fit in in the pecking order of the
Speaker 1: overall team. But also if you're pointing to one major weakness,
Speaker 1: is there's a little less weak or somebody else's that
Speaker 1: are contenders.
Speaker 8: I think they're very very.
Speaker 9: Much less week.
Speaker 4: They're nineteen and seven this month, Sean's you know, there's
Speaker 4: not a.
Speaker 9: Lot of witnesses.
Speaker 4: When you watch what they're doing in the teams that
Speaker 4: they're playing, you know they've won series.
Speaker 8: It gets the Cubs now, the Phillies, met the Padres.
Speaker 4: The Blue Jays and a Mariners, all good teams, and
Speaker 4: they've done it in pretty candy fashion. And they've done
Speaker 4: it with mostly pitching, some timely getting and they're good
Speaker 4: at comebacks and you like that trade.
Speaker 9: But it's been mostly pitching, and so I don't I
Speaker 9: think they have the least amount of playering and weaknesses
Speaker 9: of anybody. Do they need a little bit of help.
Speaker 4: Everybody could use a little bit of health and to
Speaker 4: get better. They could, And I'll go back to the
Speaker 4: left hand of bat.
Speaker 9: I think that that would be very helpful.
Speaker 4: I just know it's a pitch you're you know, and
Speaker 4: I've seen it too. The guys, the sliders except basketballs
Speaker 4: are going to give this heavy right handed scene some fits.
Speaker 4: But I like everything about him. You know what, Here's
Speaker 4: here's another one, Sean. You know, we're always talking.
Speaker 20: About how are they doing this? You know, so it's
Speaker 20: easy the points of the pitching. But here's another one too.
Speaker 20: And I was talking to one of the players. It's
Speaker 20: been on a few teams, and we were we were
Speaker 20: talking about like, how how is this happening again?
Speaker 8: And he told me something.
Speaker 4: He said, the biggest difference that I see is when
Speaker 4: a guy comes into the clubhouse, there's one player on
Speaker 4: this Astros scene who will go sit.
Speaker 8: In that locker and get to know him and talk
Speaker 8: to him and make.
Speaker 4: Him feel inclusive right away. He does it every time.
Speaker 4: And he said, it's the it's the face of the franchise.
Speaker 4: It's out too. But and he does it, and he
Speaker 4: makes a point of it. And he said, that's what's
Speaker 4: different about theture in this clubhouse. He makes you feel
Speaker 4: included and important right away. He said, they hit the
Speaker 4: ground run. So whether it's a pitcher or position player
Speaker 4: or whatever, these guys online they hold each other accountable
Speaker 4: as far as their preparation goes. But al cheu be
Speaker 4: gets to know him on a personal basis and that
Speaker 4: ups their their performance.
Speaker 1: I think, unbelieving, Why isn't that shocking at all? Because
Speaker 1: of the guy right me.
Speaker 9: Another thing.
Speaker 4: He told me another thing too. He said, you know
Speaker 4: I noticed that right away, and you see it in
Speaker 4: spring training. I mean, he spends time with guys that
Speaker 4: aren't even going to be on the scene. There's no
Speaker 4: wayther a ball or double a. He knows that they're
Speaker 4: not going to be on the sea. But he said,
Speaker 4: the pain is starting to do that now too, so
Speaker 4: he's investing in his teammates. So, man, that's a that's
Speaker 4: a great example set.
Speaker 3: Steve.
Speaker 1: Let me had you on this one. You get back
Speaker 1: to your thing this morning. Is I've said, how far
Speaker 1: off am I? Or is it spot on or close?
Speaker 1: Dan and I were talking. I said, give me really
Speaker 1: good pitching with average hitting, I can still win a championship.
Speaker 1: Give me average pitching with great hitting, I'm gonna fall short.
Speaker 1: That holds true here too. I believe agree or disagree.
Speaker 9: Mostly in the posting, you know, even for the long and.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about postseason for the most part, Steve, exactly,
Speaker 1: But you still got to get there for sure.
Speaker 9: I always go back. I always go back to twenty
Speaker 9: twenty two.
Speaker 20: And what separated the asterisk from everybody else was clearly
Speaker 20: that they were more fresh.
Speaker 8: And they had a cushion.
Speaker 9: The last month and a half of the season.
Speaker 4: They were able to rest guys, get them off their feet,
Speaker 4: and go to a six man rotation for over half
Speaker 4: of the season. Things of that nature. And it was
Speaker 4: a pair that the other teams were sucking win at
Speaker 4: the end and the Asters were steamrolling. And if the
Speaker 4: Asterisk can keep a cushion, or maybe keep the gas
Speaker 4: the gas down for a little bit longer and to
Speaker 4: increase the cushion, not get too confident, but start to
Speaker 4: rest guys, get them up their skip a guy, a
Speaker 4: starter or two, and go into the playoffs fresh like
Speaker 4: they did in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 9: I think it makes them a lot easier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, battle test that they are and fresh obviously, and
Speaker 1: it's it holds Steve that holds treats the valet we
Speaker 1: stand in every sport. It's why the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: when Bill Walsh was there, and the Cowboys, like in December,
Speaker 1: they backed off practice. They weren't beating each other up.
Speaker 1: They just beat each other beat other teams on Sunday,
Speaker 1: So while everybody else was gasping, they were fresh legged
Speaker 1: and it paid off to Super Bowl championships, and there's
Speaker 1: that that that's got to be a big reason why
Speaker 1: this team when they do it, if they can stay
Speaker 1: fresh and with the way the bullpen is, it'll be
Speaker 1: a blasht to watch something. Yeah well yeah, well it
Speaker 1: sure does from my vantage point, not from theirs, but
Speaker 1: they sure making it look easy at times this year.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun watch in the second half.
Speaker 1: Great stuff. Enjoy the road trip, brother, and we'll see
Speaker 1: you next Monday. We appreciate your time and have a
Speaker 1: great Fourth of July holiday.
Speaker 9: Cheers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, damn, that one's for you. Cheers. I love it,
Speaker 1: Thanks mate, We'll talk to you later. Man. That's a
Speaker 1: great Steve Sparks will come back and visit. He was
Speaker 1: paying attention. I like it, mate, Uh And hey, cheers, Dan,
Speaker 1: So there you go. So now text him and tell
Speaker 1: him how don't do that? Tell him? But I love
Speaker 1: it is he he's got perfect timing. If you ever
Speaker 1: know that about him is delivering. He knows how to
Speaker 1: read the room. He does, and he read it. Got
Speaker 1: you got your ass. That's like a d's nutstroke.
Speaker 9: He just got.
Speaker 1: We'll come back into my heels. Me and Dan and
Speaker 1: you guys, cheers. We roll along in the eight o'clock hour.
Speaker 3: More Sean Salisburg, get in strap in and write.
Speaker 1: In Oh you will yes. But the late singer of
Speaker 1: Foster the People, Yes, deliver the tire. He's yeah, Steve's no.
Speaker 1: I wonder if Steve likes Foster the People.
Speaker 6: He thinks so not pumped up kicks, but there's a
Speaker 6: few other people. Yeah, yeah, I think he could be.
Speaker 6: He's a he's a hip guy. So uh, Sparky and
Speaker 6: the crew out there in Denver off today and then
Speaker 6: get back at it tomorrow. But stros two nothing winners
Speaker 6: yesterday over the Cubs. They take two out of three
Speaker 6: in that series, five and one against the Cubs in
Speaker 6: the Phillies. That's living right, And it just goes to
Speaker 6: show you how well they've played at dyk In Park
Speaker 6: this year and continue to play at dik In Park.
Speaker 1: They're going to play good teams in the postseason. You
Speaker 1: might as well eliminate them now.
Speaker 6: And you used to beating them and in the style
Speaker 6: they're doing it too. It's something that can translate. Jabari
Speaker 6: Smith Junior five year, one hundred and twenty two million
Speaker 6: dollars contract extension with the Rockets and Aldrich pott Gater
Speaker 6: the winner at the Rocket Classic five, first time winner
Speaker 6: at twenty How about that five whole playoff out of
Speaker 6: him able to hold off Grazerman, Eric Grazerman and Max
Speaker 6: Max Graseman.
Speaker 1: I'm saying that's okay. And Chris Kirk and Chris Kirk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go.
Speaker 6: So exciting finish yesterday in Detroit. Seven one three two
Speaker 6: one two five seven ninety is the number to get in.
Speaker 6: Ricky been patient. Good morning, Rick, Good morning, Yo.
Speaker 1: How you doing very much show?
Speaker 4: Just love your guys' show.
Speaker 9: I'll be brief.
Speaker 21: Steve Sparks kind of touched on it, and what I
Speaker 21: was going to ask you all was, how do you
Speaker 21: see this kind of working out? You know, I'm this
Speaker 21: is obviously a great problem to have, but you have
Speaker 21: all those pictures in West Palm, You've got Walker and
Speaker 21: all these guys just pitching lights out. How do you
Speaker 21: see it kind of coming together to where you keep
Speaker 21: what's going on and working in tech? But yet how
Speaker 21: these other pictures kind of work their way in?
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. Rick, very kind compliment too.
Speaker 6: That was go ahead, No, I mean it's you know
Speaker 6: the point that I brought up was about just not
Speaker 6: necessarily believing in all three of the guys that you
Speaker 6: could potentially have to count on the rest of the
Speaker 6: way because Spencer Raghetti at this point, we're flipping the
Speaker 6: calendar to July tomorrow, and I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 6: be back this month. I mean, at least from what
Speaker 6: we're seeing and hearing right now from his work there
Speaker 6: in West Palm Beach, I don't think you can count
Speaker 6: on him until early August at the earliest. And I
Speaker 6: mean the same deal for Christian Hobby here and then
Speaker 6: when you can, what are you going to count on
Speaker 6: out of them? The wild cards Lance McCullers, Junior.
Speaker 1: Dan I and thinking about what our callers said and
Speaker 1: how do you weave him in? That's their expertise. The
Speaker 1: ass was a know and win, And especially with pitching,
Speaker 1: it just kind of goes with talking about the culture
Speaker 1: that when they come back and you still have these guys.
Speaker 1: And I asked the question last week of how does
Speaker 1: it how does it fit in right? How do you
Speaker 1: how do you know when to move a guy to
Speaker 1: the bullpen and keep the culture and keep people happy
Speaker 1: and say and you got to manage listen athletes all
Speaker 1: you don't want to finish in second place, right, you
Speaker 1: want to win? They all do, and oh, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of money, and I can go if you finished
Speaker 1: a second, it's good and all these points, but you
Speaker 1: wanted to win. Same thing here. You want to start
Speaker 1: if you're a starter, relegated back to the bullpen. But
Speaker 1: they just have a way of and as we continue
Speaker 1: to talk about, you're gonna need them all at some point,
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna need them. So the way you weave
Speaker 1: it in is do what you do and they're paid.
Speaker 1: Here's one thing that seeing I also think that separates
Speaker 1: them from other franchises that I've watched, at least the
Speaker 1: way it feels kind of goes along with Steve Sparks
Speaker 1: is saying how two Vey goes in and gets to
Speaker 1: know people. But a culture thing. I almost feel like
Speaker 1: there's no explanation you needed. We're here to win. They
Speaker 1: understand the big picture, and you're still getting paid. Your
Speaker 1: salary doesn't change based on the fact that, oh I
Speaker 1: was a starter, I'm going to the bullpen. Take one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars off my salary. No, it's just as
Speaker 1: important and as we well see the bullpen over the
Speaker 1: course of it all, with as much work as they're
Speaker 1: gonna get, becomes every bit, if not more important, because
Speaker 1: you're gonna log a lot of innings with all the
Speaker 1: guys combined. Not the number of straight innings you get
Speaker 1: from a six inning starter or five inning, but three
Speaker 1: guys pitching five innings. You're gonna get work, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna need it. I think what happens is you just
Speaker 1: have to buy into the plan. Sure, if you get
Speaker 1: relegated to the bullpen and you're pitching well and Hovey
Speaker 1: Air comes back and shows you that he's pumping it
Speaker 1: at ninety five and he's Christian Javier, he's gonna start.
Speaker 1: So I mean, you've got two choices. You can either
Speaker 1: be along for the ride and do your thing and
Speaker 1: continue to dominate someone that rears its head again for you,
Speaker 1: or you going to the tank. And this team seems
Speaker 1: to have found a way or franchise not to let
Speaker 1: that bother him. So I'll tell you this, it's a
Speaker 1: great problem to have. Hey, we've got nine starters. What
Speaker 1: do you want to do? The Dodgers had like twelve
Speaker 1: of them starting the season, and they're begging for starting
Speaker 1: pitching right now because of the injuries they've had, So
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. It's a great point, great question, but
Speaker 1: the surplus very few teams get to stand at the
Speaker 1: midway point or when you hit August, say we got
Speaker 1: a surplus a pitching very few regularly. The ones that
Speaker 1: do are usually playing when it's down to you're a
Speaker 1: series or so away from a world series. Surplus a
Speaker 1: pitching of good pitching matters, and they've got a lot
Speaker 1: of it. Good problem to have, which means they don't
Speaker 1: have to rush, but you can only handle so many injuries.
Speaker 1: And judging by the injuries and depending on the mccullor's
Speaker 1: performance of this, it appears that Javier is going to
Speaker 1: need to rear his head in twenty twenty five. And
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I never counted on it this year,
Speaker 1: not that it mattered what I thought, but I didn't
Speaker 1: count on this. And if you get him, let's say
Speaker 1: August first, let's just say that for fun, dude, and
Speaker 1: hen he's Christian Xavier. You have just completely lengthded and
Speaker 1: improved a staff period. But it's the buy in buy
Speaker 1: and I use a lot why because it only takes
Speaker 1: about three guys not to buy and to disrupt the
Speaker 1: whole cart. Dude, I'm just telling you this franchise has
Speaker 1: rarely had to deal with that over the last decade.
Speaker 6: Well, and Sparky's point about the left handed bat is
Speaker 6: valid about balancing out the order, sure, but I just
Speaker 6: feel like the priority is more on the pitching side
Speaker 6: because I have to have that if this thing is
Speaker 6: going to go where I wanted to go. I feel
Speaker 6: like that the lineup, it's been more about guys who
Speaker 6: either are not here but you will get back, and
Speaker 6: the guys who are here that you expect more from
Speaker 6: a grade.
Speaker 1: Yes, you are a spot on and hopefully you can
Speaker 1: do it, but think about this, Dan, look at the
Speaker 1: production real quick that you're getting from cam Smith, even
Speaker 1: though you're not getting the type production. Maybe from Christian
Speaker 1: Walker that you want the consistent team. Maybe that Altuve.
Speaker 1: You know, he hits the home run, which is big,
Speaker 1: but you know where he goes on that heater, which
Speaker 1: he will. But then a guy like cam Smith and
Speaker 1: Jake Myers do their thing. So it really But isn't
Speaker 1: that kind of the essence of what I know? It
Speaker 1: sounds cheesy, but isn't that kind of the essence of
Speaker 1: a good team really That we talk about people picking
Speaker 1: you up when you're struggling, and that says not through
Speaker 1: verbage in a clubhouse. It's the other side, Oh you're struggling,
Speaker 1: Cam Smith, I gotta do more. I'm a rookie, but
Speaker 1: you know what, I gotta do more. And I believe
Speaker 1: they kind of take that on and wear it, and
Speaker 1: I think it's on their sleeve, man. And it's important
Speaker 1: because just when you think that I need Christian Walker,
Speaker 1: did you expect your right fielder this year? Not only
Speaker 1: did you expect it to be Cam Smith when we started,
Speaker 1: but did you expect him to hit two eighty and
Speaker 1: put him in the four hole windows. I thought this
Speaker 1: was going to be one of the worst Gold Glove
Speaker 1: caliber rightfielder already. And you say, I don't need Kyle
Speaker 1: Tucker back, even though he's got you get my point.
Speaker 1: We're not begging for Kyle Tucker back here. No, and
Speaker 1: he's going to be at All Star and he's a
Speaker 1: great player. So somebody else continues to say, Okay, my
Speaker 1: turn to lift pitching's done it all season with all
Speaker 1: these injuries, they had no choice and now, if you
Speaker 1: get healthy, then you'll have some choices to make, but
Speaker 1: good problems to have.
Speaker 6: Now, you definitely want choices as opposed to desperation, and
Speaker 6: the astros, at least right now, seem like they've got
Speaker 6: the former scenario on their hands. Ryan John Brandon. See

Speaker 6: You have to in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Well, you don't have to. You can stay stuck in
Speaker 1: lower gear if you want. But if you were one
Speaker 1: of those guys than in twenty twenty four said I'm
Speaker 1: making the change of twenty twenty five and you have it.
Speaker 1: We're halfway through your one says man, I'm sluggish. I'm
Speaker 1: not feelness. Wellness optimization it's the phrase for me all
Speaker 1: year long, because optimizing it and maximizing that wellness where
Speaker 1: it starts at minstea clinic. Go and draw a little blood.
Speaker 1: It's non invasive and by the end of the day
Speaker 1: you'll get the results and then you start to normalize it.
Speaker 1: And isn't it some things you can't control in life, man,
Speaker 1: But when you know what the conflict is, Man, I'm sluggish.
Speaker 1: My sex life sucks. I'm not getting maximum out of that.
Speaker 1: Mom is not happy. I'm not getting full body wellness
Speaker 1: because I'm not dedicated to going in there and changing
Speaker 1: my life for the better. It takes you to get up,
Speaker 1: drive there, schedule appointm and go on in and get started.
Speaker 1: It's great to talk about, but if you're not getting started,
Speaker 1: you can't talk your way into feeling like your testosterones
Speaker 1: leveled out and normalized again. Get it taken care of
Speaker 1: and you'll thank yourself. You'll thank Men's Ta Clinic five
Speaker 1: convenient locations, eleven year anniversary, eleven years they've been changing lives.
Speaker 1: Can changers too. Stop waiting, get in there and do it.
Speaker 1: The more you turn this into a resolution, the longer
Speaker 1: it'll take. The more you turn it into a discipline

Speaker 6: The seven to ninety listener line in the eight o'clock
Speaker 6: hour is presented by one eight hundred car Cash John.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Hey, good morning, got y'all do it?
Speaker 10: Hey?
Speaker 1: Great great weekend of baseball.
Speaker 12: Two days I've seen on the I know the Hull
Speaker 12: come out there on Friday and pitch light out. I
Speaker 12: know that rabbit came out there yesterday and pitch lights out.
Speaker 12: Now sad, it was a disappointed day because the lambs
Speaker 12: m of color. Uh it was like batting practice out there.
Speaker 12: He didn't have nothing going and uh when when uh
Speaker 12: when Cam put him up to one with that, but
Speaker 12: that Jack, I just knew that he was gonna And
Speaker 12: for him to come out the next day then give
Speaker 12: up six straight runs, that's unacceptable even for because this
Speaker 12: team is young and it's going places. The pitchers and
Speaker 12: pitching the life out along with the bullpen, and for
Speaker 12: him to come out there and take all the wheel
Speaker 12: out to sell. I think this other self. So if
Speaker 12: I was him, I was thinking about going to the
Speaker 12: bullpen to try to get my get my rhythm back
Speaker 12: because right now that's a fast team playing fast. The
Speaker 12: young guys was playing fast, and I think he's just
Speaker 12: out of touch right now. He plays flow. He looked
Speaker 12: old and he just didn't looking. I got one question
Speaker 12: for y'all, but I'm gonna hang up a list, and uh, y'all,
Speaker 12: let me know.
Speaker 1: Do it seem like you did somebody?
Speaker 12: Uh great players is getting targeted like uh, they're making
Speaker 12: a different in this winning like Pinya. I thought they
Speaker 12: throw the ball at Cam a couple of times they do.
Speaker 12: It seem like you we being targeted, and I thank.
Speaker 1: You, I appreciate the call. And no it doesn't.
Speaker 6: I mean, I the one on Friday night, I think
Speaker 6: that was just a pitch that got away and unfortunately
Speaker 6: it gets pinia. I mean, I understand in Sacramento and
Speaker 6: h in the Angels series you kind of wondered a
Speaker 6: little bit with al Tuova, but no, I think it's
Speaker 6: just pitchers pitching inside and sometimes it gets away from you.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't since that there is an intention to try
Speaker 6: to throw out Astro's hitters. But with mccullors, I mean,
Speaker 6: we heard what Sparky said, and you know on Saturday
Speaker 6: that first inning command was an issue, so probably was
Speaker 6: trying to figure out, all right, where do I have
Speaker 6: my best command? It's with my breaking stuff. The breaking
Speaker 6: stuff was not good, so the fastball didn't matter. But
Speaker 6: even with the decreased velocity. I mean, Steve Sparks, the
Speaker 6: guy that pitched in the Majors, knows a lot about it.
Speaker 6: If he's saying that, then I think there probably is
Speaker 6: something there with mccullors where you look at it and say, hey,
Speaker 6: we're off of this, and then go with the other
Speaker 6: stuff real quick.
Speaker 1: I don't believe they're targeting the assos because some get
Speaker 1: away and you'll keep an eye on as it goes on.
Speaker 1: But I don't think we're at that point right now.
Speaker 1: They're not a big taunting team anyway, they really aren't.
Speaker 1: They don't taunt. They do. They take care of their business.
Speaker 1: But I would imagine they'll protect and I like that,
Speaker 1: Oh you can keep on it, But I don't think
Speaker 1: those are intentional throws. I think sometimes it just happens.
Speaker 1: But the mcculor situation is going to have to improve it.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have decisions to make. And he's done some
Speaker 1: really good things. And I think Steve's right. I mean,
Speaker 1: when you see it, and it should be easy to
Speaker 1: adjust to throw more fastbles. If that's part of what
Speaker 1: Lance mccullors wants to change you.
Speaker 6: Pretty much when you get to the postseason, the first
Speaker 6: round you can go with three, the second round and on.
Speaker 6: You got have four starting pitchers at least. So that's
Speaker 6: what the race is to right now, final to fifth one,
Speaker 6: just depending right just maybe if you want to, you know,
Speaker 6: be able to try to give you know, fromber Hunter
Speaker 6: Brown an extra day. I mean, although Hunter Brown, I
Speaker 6: think if he's the first one out the gate, he
Speaker 6: would say, no, give it to me, especially we got
Speaker 6: a chance.
Speaker 1: Close this out, let's go.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there you go?
Speaker 1: So did you just to time it out depending on
Speaker 1: it and knowing what you're looking for, but yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta have four and you better have four strong, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Well they keep pitching this way.
Speaker 6: Definitely can hope for good things and believe that good
Speaker 6: things can come their way. Ryan, See you're right there,
Speaker 6: Brandon two. You want to join them seven one three
Speaker 6: two one two five seven ninety against seven one three
Speaker 6: two one two at five seven ninety. What are the
Speaker 6: Astros done with this? Start to help themselves out? We'll
Speaker 6: talk about it here on the other side, right here
Speaker 6: on a Monday Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 3: This is this Sean Salisbury show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just so, your go to is Donna Summer.
Speaker 9: I like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, easily.
Speaker 6: You're in the ballpark there, so I mean you could
Speaker 6: be right. I mean there's some sort of like degrees
Speaker 6: of separation at that point. Absolutely, so good call, do you? Yeah, Well,
Speaker 6: you know, I try to connect the dots as best
Speaker 6: I can. Sean, the Strows they feel excited, so fans
Speaker 6: do because they're fifteen and thirty four on the season.
Speaker 6: They beat the Cubs just day two to nothing, and
Speaker 6: they take two out of three in that series. How
Speaker 6: about the Rockets, They got reason to be excited because
Speaker 6: Jabari Smith Junior extended five years, one hundred and twenty
Speaker 6: two million. According to reports, someone three two one two
Speaker 6: five seven ninety is the number to get in Ryan
Speaker 6: up in Montgomery. He wants to weigh in Ryan.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Morton Fellas.
Speaker 22: I want to start by saying, I try to go
Speaker 22: to tailgaters this weekend, but my son is cutting teeth,
Speaker 22: so I didn't want to go on a date with
Speaker 22: a pissed offtero dactyl as a third wheel.
Speaker 19: I'm gonna try to get out there.
Speaker 6: There's there's there's plenty, there's plenty of people there that
Speaker 6: I assume that I assure you would be louder than
Speaker 6: he would.
Speaker 9: Yeah, probably were not wrong. Uh So I showed up
Speaker 9: late to the party. I apologized. I caught a little
Speaker 9: bit of the Steve.
Speaker 22: Sparks interview, but I heard you talking about finding at
Speaker 22: Lancet Callers where he needs to build off of, and
Speaker 22: I just think he's he's already has to be having
Speaker 22: these conversations with the pitching staff right like there's no
Speaker 22: way to not happening. That being said, he's a professional athlete.
Speaker 22: I'm not going to say you pretend like I know
Speaker 22: what I'm talking about, But at what point do you
Speaker 22: start having very honest conversations about capabilities and where you
Speaker 22: fit into this lineup? Because yeah, I know people have
Speaker 22: bad outings, that's one thing, But I feel like this
Speaker 22: is becoming more of a trend that we're seeing far
Speaker 22: too often. And I'm just wondering y'all's opinion on at
Speaker 22: what point do you start saying, hey man, maybe it's
Speaker 22: a bullpen thing, maybe you need to work on some
Speaker 22: other stuff in triple A or whatever it might be.
Speaker 22: When does that happen? And I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 6: I appreciate the call, Ryan, I mean, I think that
Speaker 6: it's kind of the same mold of what we were
Speaker 6: looking for after he had the rough outing against the
Speaker 6: Reds and mccullor's had that line this weekend that I
Speaker 6: guess the NL Central is just my daddy, because it
Speaker 6: was the redscheme where he couldn't even get out of
Speaker 6: the first inning, and then it was the rough first
Speaker 6: inning that you're able to get out with just one
Speaker 6: run given up, but then it was the fourth inning
Speaker 6: that can got away from Lance mccullor's junior. My answer
Speaker 6: would be, if you see this in the next start
Speaker 6: or the start after that, or anything else, that he's
Speaker 6: pretty much give you know, he's pretty much run out
Speaker 6: of any more lives to have. If he has another
Speaker 6: outing like this. If he does, then I think you
Speaker 6: do have to start having those conversations.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think there's more life. It just depends on
Speaker 1: if it says a starter on a regular basis, it's
Speaker 1: going to be one of your five guys. I think
Speaker 1: in Ryan's correct. I think this conversation, if it has
Speaker 1: already had to be had, had to be had, already
Speaker 1: had to have taken place, or it's fluid, fluid to
Speaker 1: the point where I don't think it's a stone cold
Speaker 1: lead pipe lock that he's entrenched into your third or
Speaker 1: fourth starter. I just don't, and I'm not sure that.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe the organization does. But this organization has
Speaker 1: been extremely patient with players and allowing them a Bray
Speaker 1: you I'm talking I ain't talking about Brian Abrad you
Speaker 1: to work through it, Josea brad you, Christian Walker working
Speaker 1: through it. Over the course of time since I've been here,
Speaker 1: They've been patient, allowing players to play their way through
Speaker 1: it and at times pitched their way through it. But
Speaker 1: they will have to make hard decisions as they roll along,
Speaker 1: saying where is it best served not just for Lanceomac Colors,
Speaker 1: but for our organization and for this team. And for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, No one, I'm not worried about lance
Speaker 1: mc colors in the spring of twenty twenty six. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm just not. Just like I'm not worried about what
Speaker 1: Garcia is bringing next year. We'll deal with that when
Speaker 1: next year comes. I'm worried about this team right now
Speaker 1: and how we're going to do it and get it
Speaker 1: done now. And so the simple question that'll answer at
Speaker 1: all and we got to take feelings after And I
Speaker 1: don't know the answer to this yet, because is Saturday
Speaker 1: closer to lanceo mc colors or is the twelve strikeout closer?
Speaker 1: I want to think the twelve strikeout is. But where
Speaker 1: is he in the middle of this? What is he
Speaker 1: at the fifty mark? Is he leaning towards Okay, he's
Speaker 1: one of our guys. We're gonna he's he's headed in
Speaker 1: the right direction. Or man, We've got to rethink some
Speaker 1: of this to find out how much we can get
Speaker 1: out of him and where he's most effective for now
Speaker 1: we'll have twenty twenty six or what goes on for
Speaker 1: this team to win a World Series? It's real simple.
Speaker 1: Where do you make us better? It's not a hard
Speaker 1: one and in the process, you're trying to work it back,
Speaker 1: and we know he wants to and we know where
Speaker 1: he's best when he's good as a starter, But as
Speaker 1: far as his impact on this team today and going
Speaker 1: forward this year, the simple question among all of them
Speaker 1: has got to be not worried about somebody's feelings hurt
Speaker 1: or that is, does he give us the best chance
Speaker 1: to win when he starts? And is he one of
Speaker 1: our going forward? Can you envision where we get to
Speaker 1: the playoffs and we get in the long series and
Speaker 1: we need four stars. Is he one of them? And
Speaker 1: that's obviously going to be made as the season goes on,
Speaker 1: but you've got to decide before then. It can't be
Speaker 1: an experimental phase when when September gets here, you just can't.
Speaker 1: Experiments are done matter of fact that you start to
Speaker 1: creep toward. So you've got to find and then get
Speaker 1: settled in. So everybody once again defining the role. What's
Speaker 1: his right now it's a starter, you have a couple
Speaker 1: more starts like this, that conversation will heat up about
Speaker 1: where his best stuff. Is it best to get him
Speaker 1: for a couple of innings and long relief. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: it's the spot start, and maybe he's the spot starter
Speaker 1: and starts once in a while, but we got him
Speaker 1: in a bullpen because man, if you haven't figured him out,
Speaker 1: you don't get a second or third bat to do it,
Speaker 1: and sometimes early in it. So to me, Lance mccolors,
Speaker 1: while it's a work in progress, we know what he's
Speaker 1: brought to the past, but the pass is behind us
Speaker 1: now in the injuries. He's here supposedly healthy, let's see.
Speaker 1: But it's a simple question for me do going forward?
Speaker 1: What gives our team the best chance to win in
Speaker 1: these circumstances, and he seems pretty versatile to be able
Speaker 1: to do both. I can't take feelings into account. I
Speaker 1: got to take what's best for our team. And if
Speaker 1: he's not one of those guys, if there's question marks,
Speaker 1: then that can't be a question in September. You've got
Speaker 1: to solidify that either he does by his performance or
Speaker 1: they do by their decision, and then you'll live with
Speaker 1: it and go forward. But it's a simple one. What
Speaker 1: makes us best in twenty twenty five. I'm not worried
Speaker 1: about lancemac colors or anybody else in the springtime next year.
Speaker 6: B Renelle Blanco five innings. Okay, Blanco, What if it can't,
Speaker 6: then you've got to go with somebody else who can, Okay, and.
Speaker 1: Then you move him to the bullpen. Right, that's the
Speaker 1: question you got asked? Can you be this guy more consistently?
Speaker 1: Where are you going to live more? Are we written
Speaker 1: the good stuff and you live where it's it's mid
Speaker 1: or is the twelve strikeout more like you? But a
Speaker 1: couple more starts to find it out. But right now
Speaker 1: you're kind of a little bit of a disadvantage because
Speaker 1: of the health of your staff. So you you're trying
Speaker 1: to make it work, and hopefully it will. But at
Speaker 1: some point in time, the feelings of anybody on this
Speaker 1: have to take a backseat to what's best for all
Speaker 1: twenty six cats and in an organization. And I still
Speaker 1: think it's a work in progress. I'm not ready to
Speaker 1: quit on it, but I am willing to adjust if
Speaker 1: in the next couple starts it doesn't look better. Because
Speaker 1: the optics were nasty. Yep, No, it's simple. They were bad.
Speaker 4: No, it was not.
Speaker 6: It was not good whatsoever. And it definitely gave you
Speaker 6: some cause for concern. Someone three two on two five
Speaker 6: seven ninety we said the one the words tone and
Speaker 6: tenor early. Well, that's gonna come into play here as
Speaker 6: we start our number four, because we're gonna hear from
Speaker 6: Dana Brown. Keep those two words in mind when you
Speaker 6: hear from him talking about a current astro.
Speaker 1: We'll do that right here. It is Sean Salisbury Show,
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 4: Saulsbury, Albrightsbury, Houston.
Speaker 9: Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 3: Sean Salisbury.
Speaker 9: To usc true longtime friend, Seawan Salisbury.
Speaker 3: Dan, MATTHEWSCU, Jesus, this is the Sean Salsbury Show, agreeing
Speaker 3: to a five year, one hundred and twenty two million
Speaker 3: dollar contract extension, according to reports and Aldrich Pottgeater, the
Speaker 3: winner in five playoff holes at the Rocket Classic.
Speaker 6: Some of just the things that happened from over the weekend.
Speaker 6: But one of the other things that happened over the weekend,
Speaker 6: Sean is last week we get the news that Jeremy
Speaker 6: Pania is going to go with Scott Boris as his
Speaker 6: new agent. So of course people start to believe, all right, well,
Speaker 6: play out the string of years with Pania and then
Speaker 6: we'll see him go somewhere else and it'll be somebody
Speaker 6: else at Shortstop for the Astros. But yesterday Astros GM
Speaker 6: Dana Brown with Robert Ford and the crew on Astro Launch,
Speaker 6: and that question was asked to Dana Brown about Jeremy
Speaker 6: Pania and listen to, uh, listen to the tone of how.
Speaker 1: He talks about that situation with the Astro Shortstop.
Speaker 13: What it will not change is it will not change
Speaker 13: us making an effort to get Jeremy signed long term.
Speaker 9: Here.
Speaker 13: We know that sometimes it could be difficult, uh to
Speaker 13: sign guys, you know, because you know when they use
Speaker 13: Boris as a representation, you know oftentimes they go to
Speaker 13: free agency, right and so, but it will will not
Speaker 13: stop us from trying to get something done, so I uh,
Speaker 13: you know, called Boris like right away when he let
Speaker 13: us know that he's representing them, and just you know,
Speaker 13: had an initial conversation and told him, look, we're still
Speaker 13: interested in signing Jeremy long term and so you know,
Speaker 13: we'll be in touch and we'll see.
Speaker 1: How that works out.
Speaker 6: Tone and tenor does that sound like when he was
Speaker 6: talking about Alex Pregman. Does that sound like when I'm
Speaker 6: trying to remember anybody else.
Speaker 1: I can tell you who it sounds like because I
Speaker 1: asked on this show about Kyle Tucker's contract and if
Speaker 1: they were going to get it done, and then Dane
Speaker 1: at the time, and I think and he believed it,
Speaker 1: and I'm with him one hundred percent. He simply said,
Speaker 1: we're going to make Kyle Tucker an astro for life.
Speaker 1: We probably pulled that up and he was very adamant
Speaker 1: and confident about it. Now things changed. But the key
Speaker 1: here is, and he's telling the truth. I think they made.
Speaker 1: They made the effort that they were within the parameters
Speaker 1: that Dana Brown had to work. They made the effort
Speaker 1: try and keep Kyle Tucker. When they realized it was
Speaker 1: going to be too big, you traded him smart moved
Speaker 1: to go get it now it looks brilliant. Instead of
Speaker 1: paying for hun in fifty million bucks, you got a
Speaker 1: right fielder who is under a rookie contract. You got
Speaker 1: ConTroll them for a while. You're not paying for it
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars right now, who's going to give you? Well,
Speaker 1: it appears he set it towards similar production if this
Speaker 1: assent continues. But Dana was adamant on this show live
Speaker 1: and I even repeated it. I said, so you're saying
Speaker 1: they wanted to make him an Astro for life. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: with agents and stuff get involved. So that was a
Speaker 1: plan and a plan all find and Danny until maybe
Speaker 1: a detour comes in or a different agent. So I
Speaker 1: think he's one hundred percent like that Tony Tenny talking
Speaker 1: about that they have every intention like Kyle Tucker of
Speaker 1: keeping Jeremy Panya, I would think that. I love the
Speaker 1: fact that Dan admitted, well, we made a call right away,
Speaker 1: that's his agent. Let him know. Open it up that
Speaker 1: we're not shutting this off because Boris's reputation, the Astros
Speaker 1: have a reputation. When you get the free agent, we're
Speaker 1: not paying you that kind of money. That's been a
Speaker 1: business model, and now Dana trying to bridge that gap
Speaker 1: to let him know just because you're his agent and
Speaker 1: we respect you, doesn't mean you're sprinting somewhere else. Because
Speaker 1: you've represented quite a few guys that are here and
Speaker 1: or part of this here, right, and whether they've stayed
Speaker 1: or gone alto Vas of Boriskay, Right, he is, so
Speaker 1: is McCalla Colors. We know the others that have left Korea, right, No,
Speaker 1: Korea was not Was he was cream or was he No?
Speaker 1: I'd have to look. I think Kara was Bregman, Right.
Speaker 1: Isn't Bregman a Boris guy? Yeah, So he's had both.
Speaker 1: So I love that, Danta says an I think Dana had.
Speaker 1: The intention is absolutely it'll get tougher. It will get
Speaker 1: tougher to Hunter Browns of Scott Boris guy, They're gonna
Speaker 1: face that at some point. It'll get tougher. The better
Speaker 1: page your plays, it's gonna get tougher. You got the
Speaker 1: best or the most what's the best for the best,
Speaker 1: he's been the best. He's been the best over as
Speaker 1: far as getting people money, you've been the best made
Speaker 1: agent in baseball or the one that can get every
Speaker 1: ounce out of the turn up. But and so, but
Speaker 1: to keep it open is fine. But the better playing
Speaker 1: your plays, the more people are gonna be interested, the
Speaker 1: more money that's on the table, you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: face that. So I one hundred percent believe that Dana's
Speaker 1: intentions are we want him here and again and to
Speaker 1: extend him and make him an astro for a long time.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of factors involved. But I do
Speaker 1: like the fact that he kept that at least the
Speaker 1: communication lines open. That because you're Scott Boris doesn't mean
Speaker 1: we're backing off from a guy we love and want
Speaker 1: to be here. So there's gonna be certain things that
Speaker 1: I hate to say it that Dana Brown's not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to because of if the money grows past
Speaker 1: his ability to sign him and then the history is
Speaker 1: move on. But if if Jim Crane signs off, no
Speaker 1: matter says you keep him here regardless of what it takes, well,
Speaker 1: God bless him, and that's a great thing. So we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens there. But I don't I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any lie or any like oh that's not going
Speaker 1: to happen. I believe that they all believe that that's
Speaker 1: going to happen. But Scott Morris is a he negotiates
Speaker 1: a little different, So you do have to face the
Speaker 1: fact that while they want him here, that he may
Speaker 1: not be if he continues this.
Speaker 6: It seems to me that from listening to Dana, you
Speaker 6: know what we just heard, there is a mutual interest
Speaker 6: to get something done. That's that's what it feels like.
Speaker 6: And I think the other part, as you mentioned Hunter Brown,
Speaker 6: is we have a good discussion here, we get something
Speaker 6: done here, then that gets the wheels moving on him.
Speaker 1: You're one hundred percent correct, Dan, And you know how
Speaker 1: we I think Dana. I think Dana should be in consideration.
Speaker 1: I think the last couple of years he's done an
Speaker 1: amazing job. Not because on the show we talked about it.
Speaker 1: We've had we all have. We don't have to agree
Speaker 1: with everything he says, and he doesn't have to agree
Speaker 1: with the questions that are asked. He's been great to us,
Speaker 1: and in truth, he's the way he's operating under these circumstances.
Speaker 1: How can you not say he's in the executive of
Speaker 1: your argument right now? You you absolutely have to, But
Speaker 1: now you hit what you said that they well, what
Speaker 1: was your point about Danny Brown with a hundred, that
Speaker 1: they're that they wanted the good intentions, they want to
Speaker 1: sign him and all and all. That's all. You're exactly right,
Speaker 1: those good intends This relationship helps you with the other relationship,
Speaker 1: of course it does, But in truth does it when
Speaker 1: all is settled in? Do you really believe that Payna
Speaker 1: and Hunter Brown together are going to have anything to
Speaker 1: do with how Boris deals with this organization or how
Speaker 1: they sign him. It's not. I mean, fine and dandy,
Speaker 1: it's it sounds great and I'm with you, but the
Speaker 1: reality of it is both of these cats right now
Speaker 1: are on an assent that they are in the best
Speaker 1: of the best in their positions in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1: I can tell you one thing, you know hard, it's
Speaker 1: going to be signed both similar ages, right, yeah, similar so,
Speaker 1: and I don't know that we'd have to look. I
Speaker 1: don't have in front of you about you know, when
Speaker 1: it comes to fruition. My point is, I think their
Speaker 1: intentions are to keep their best players and to do it.
Speaker 1: But let's look at reality. Reality is, regardless of your
Speaker 1: relationship and good intentions and all that, we're opening up
Speaker 1: the lines of communication. Didn't they say that about Didn't
Speaker 1: we have the same feeling about Korea, Lines of communication,
Speaker 1: all of it. I'm talking about both. It's not just
Speaker 1: the astros. The lines of communicates good to keep them open.
Speaker 1: I don't think that Paynia and Hunter Brown dealing with
Speaker 1: the same agent and dealing with the astras have zero
Speaker 1: to do with Oh, you got Painia, So so I'll
Speaker 1: give you a Hunter Brown for a million less. That
Speaker 1: ain't gonna happen, dude, It's just not.
Speaker 6: No's how He's not going to allow for emotions to
Speaker 6: come into this. But you know, with Hunter Brown, he's
Speaker 6: entering into arbitration year number one, so he would be
Speaker 6: a free agent a year after Painia.
Speaker 1: Right, So in the same they'll be under if you
Speaker 1: sign THEMOL long terms five six, seven years. They're in
Speaker 1: the same umbrella of a pace gain right, the same area.
Speaker 6: So I think the thought is that you seem like
Speaker 6: you were having those conversations already with Pania, is that
Speaker 6: maybe you are a little bit further down the field
Speaker 6: to get it done. So then you get that done
Speaker 6: and maybe you can avoid arbitration with a guy who
Speaker 6: right now is making eight hundred and seven thousand two.
Speaker 1: Now try to get one early. That becomes a bargain later,
Speaker 1: and then if you can get the other one, and
Speaker 1: it becomes he's making a lot of money at least.
Speaker 1: And it kind of fits kind of with your not hell,
Speaker 1: if you're not us healthy. You waited and got till
Speaker 1: the end of it and got him towards free agency,
Speaker 1: and he had his numbers produced, and dude, he breaks
Speaker 1: the bank. So you got out in front at least
Speaker 1: to buy some time there, and you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And same thing here. But all these things happen, and
Speaker 1: while good intentions matter, you still got to deal with it.
Speaker 1: And Hunter Brown ain't worried about the money somebody else
Speaker 1: getting paid. He wants on his team. But when it
Speaker 1: comes to him, he and Bors's gonna take care of
Speaker 1: he and Boris and obviously Hope and make it great
Speaker 1: for the organization. But what I'm saying is I don't
Speaker 1: think the two matter. I think they're both individually going
Speaker 1: to have to compartmentalize when you deal with it.
Speaker 6: Six years twenty five per for Hunter Brown. You offer
Speaker 6: that to him right now, he'd be crazy enough to
Speaker 6: take it. He's making eight hundred and seven thousand dollars
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I get it. I get it, man,
Speaker 1: these players, some of them are betting on themselves. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it works, sometimes it doesn't. I would love that if
Speaker 1: he'd say yes, that'd be great. The question is what
Speaker 1: is his agent telling about what they think his value
Speaker 1: will be if this continues. And all of them, Payne
Speaker 1: and Hunter Brown, damn well know they think it's going
Speaker 1: to continue, because that's why they're good players. Aside from
Speaker 1: being talented, they work and they're confident in what they do.
Speaker 1: So this doesn't feel for Hunter Brown and Jeremy Peney.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're thinking, yeah, let me get it
Speaker 1: right now, because I'm not sure I can do this
Speaker 1: rest of my car. I think they're both thinking, you
Speaker 1: better get me while the getting's good, because I am
Speaker 1: going to hammer the bank, not the Astros. I'm sure
Speaker 1: they both love to be here with the culture, but
Speaker 1: I know this. Everybody wants to get there if it's
Speaker 1: within a certain amount. One thing. If there's millions apart
Speaker 1: Bregman Korea, guess what they do. They move on and
Speaker 1: let's not very part of this. Even though he's not
Speaker 1: a I don't think he's a Boris guy. There's a
Speaker 1: guy coming to It's it's come come to Jesus time
Speaker 1: with the left hander who's pitching. Well, you're gonna be
Speaker 1: facing that before you face any of it. That's got
Speaker 1: to be the priority first to figure out what you're
Speaker 1: gonna do with him as we go to the second
Speaker 1: half of the season, because I got news for you.
Speaker 1: Ain't trading his ass. That didn't happen because you're going
Speaker 1: all in on a world series. So you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to face that long before Paynia and Hunter Brown get addressed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: both Paynia and Brown.
Speaker 6: If they get to arbitration this year, even if they
Speaker 6: avoid it, that's at least ten million dollars per guy.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, So I mean that's why with with Brown,
Speaker 6: I feel like you get that offer in front of
Speaker 6: him quickly and you avoid that. Then the question is
Speaker 6: will Scott Bors be the one reaching out or as
Speaker 6: he said back and say, we wear no rush.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But the client's always got
Speaker 1: to buy into Boris because there's times I'm sure the
Speaker 1: client said, no, dude, take yeah, be patient, dude, we're
Speaker 1: going to get what we need to get. Be patient,
Speaker 1: and that can be tough. But I always say I've
Speaker 1: said on this a million times and maybe the ath
Speaker 1: some athletes want it this way. The agent works for you.
Speaker 1: You do not work for the agent. Yeah, you pay
Speaker 1: the agent. You're four to six whatever it is, your percentage,
Speaker 1: you're paying him. You pay him. He doesn't have you know,
Speaker 1: he's not the guy when the decision comes down. You
Speaker 1: employ him. He doesn't employ you. Now, he can choose
Speaker 1: not to take you on as a client, but once
Speaker 1: he takes on, you're paying him a big time salary.
Speaker 1: With the money you make to take care of your stuff.
Speaker 1: You make the decision. That's why when I all blame
Speaker 1: it on the agent. Yeah, well, if you're a grown
Speaker 1: ask man and you're the one who hired him, don't
Speaker 1: give him power of attorney. You make the decision, and
Speaker 1: then the agent has to live by that. But he
Speaker 1: can be tempting to just sit there and let him
Speaker 1: run the show because he's had such success getting guys
Speaker 1: like Soto paid the lot of money. We'll see in
Speaker 1: a perfect world from ber Hunter, Brown and Jeremy Painter
Speaker 1: all here, and in the realistic world, the chances are slim,
Speaker 1: and I won't say none but that'll take a lot
Speaker 1: of doing and a little bit of a step outside
Speaker 1: of business model, wouldn't you If this is the assent
Speaker 1: for all three of these guys at this level continues.
Speaker 6: Astro is gonna have some money to spend after this offseason.
Speaker 6: Because you get Montero, you get to break you off
Speaker 6: the books. And then the other rule that you know
Speaker 6: is obviously one that you put on the side of
Speaker 6: the refrigerator.
Speaker 1: Never give away power of attorney. Rocky found that out.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't do that at any point in time in
Speaker 1: your life until it's on the bed and somebody else
Speaker 1: needs to take over. Yeah, and these athletes that do
Speaker 1: it find themselves about twenty five million dollars less rich
Speaker 1: when they're done. If they get with the wrong scum.
Speaker 1: They don't have to. That's not boris. But there are
Speaker 1: some out there that have stole plenty of money from
Speaker 1: athletes given power attorney. Ray to anybody, when you're that
Speaker 1: bad idea and you want to wash your hands of
Speaker 1: any responsibility, I'll let him think about it all. Don't
Speaker 1: get to a point when the decision has made you
Speaker 1: keep that power or you're you're you're you're going down
Speaker 1: a road that that's that's fall off a cliff. That's
Speaker 1: a bad idea.
Speaker 6: Saw something over the weekend that just goes to show
Speaker 6: you that the football off season it's just too long.
Speaker 6: We'll talk about it here. It is the Sean Salisbury Show,
Speaker 6: Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 1: No, what happened?

Speaker 1: We don't want that.
Speaker 16: Yep, hey almost got kicked out.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, if they did, it sounds like they
Speaker 6: would have been warranted in doing some man. I didn't
Speaker 6: see it. I didn't hear about it. I hadn't seen
Speaker 6: any videos.
Speaker 16: I mean, no, they he almost got kicked out, But well,
Speaker 16: I know, yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like, I yeah, I mean, I gotta
Speaker 1: take your word for it. I have no idea.
Speaker 16: Anyway. I'm happy about the Barry Smith Jr.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a good it's a good deal by the
Speaker 6: Rockets to be able to lock up a guy that
Speaker 6: clearly they they believe is part of the future plans.
Speaker 16: Yeah. Hey, I'm happy about the.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 6: They excited about him too, Brandon. It's it's an exciting
Speaker 6: time to be a Houston sports fan.
Speaker 16: Sewn. Anyway. Anyway, Uh, who's pitching tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Tomorrow?
Speaker 6: I think it's Colton Gordon. I need to go back
Speaker 6: and check, but I think it's gonna be Gordon.
Speaker 16: Hey, did you do the Tampane Show or that Chris
Speaker 16: Gordy did?
Speaker 6: Gordy did it yesterday, so yeah, he had it yesterday,
Speaker 6: and then it was Ross on Saturday.
Speaker 16: So who Who's gonna do it during the Boston Series.
Speaker 6: Uh, they're gonna take on the Rockies. I think it's
Speaker 6: gonna be a lot of uh Matt and Ross doing
Speaker 6: it this week.
Speaker 16: Hey, if you see Matt, I tell him tell him
Speaker 16: I missed Nicole, you know, yesterday, not yesterday on Friday Friday?
Speaker 1: Gotcha? All right, man, We'll pass that along. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you later, all right, Brandon, Okay, I appreciate it.
Speaker 16: And today when I said.
Speaker 1: Hi, you got it, man any for you.
Speaker 6: Football's offseason and the excitement that everybody seems to give
Speaker 6: themselves during the off season. Tys Simpson is going to
Speaker 6: maybe be the quarterback at Alabama. The Manning Passing Academy
Speaker 6: happening over the weekend down in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Everybody's losing
Speaker 6: their mind over this throw that Ty Simpson made. And
Speaker 6: I guess it was sixty yards in the air, whatever
Speaker 6: it was. But Sean, I mean, you coach quarterbacks.
Speaker 12: You know that.
Speaker 6: You know the the underwear Olympics. That is the off
Speaker 6: season of everybody in shorts and T shirts. And you
Speaker 6: see videos like this, and I understand that it can
Speaker 6: make people excited for potential, but when you see things
Speaker 6: like that, are you just kind of like, Okay, it
Speaker 6: was a nice throw, but it means nothing in the
Speaker 6: long run.
Speaker 1: Every Division one quarterback in this country in a pair
Speaker 1: of shorts and a T shirt. I'm not listen. I've
Speaker 1: coached the Manning Passing Academy. It's all some great time.
Speaker 1: They're doing great things a ton of kids, and the
Speaker 1: kids love it because the college counselors are their coaching them.
Speaker 1: I mean, the college quarterbacks, counselors, their former coaches, players,
Speaker 1: all this are there and the mannings it's a great,
Speaker 1: a great event, and it's you know, it's it can
Speaker 1: with the people that are waltzing around there. It's you know,
Speaker 1: hanging down. These said their heroes are there and the
Speaker 1: quarterback they want to go in there. Kid is going
Speaker 1: to be a junior, right, kid is going to be
Speaker 1: a junior in high school? Right? Or people who watched
Speaker 1: Simpson play in high school now they're like, man, I
Speaker 1: can't wait to go to Alabama. That kid's all. I
Speaker 1: get it all, but we we got We see it
Speaker 1: all the time at the combine. We see it in
Speaker 1: a guy's private workout. Zach Wilson is the perfect example
Speaker 1: of that. Is that I don't know many quarterbacks in college.
Speaker 1: We're to the point now, I got well, I train
Speaker 1: a handful of high school guys can drop back and
Speaker 1: throw its fifty five sixty yards halfway through their warm
Speaker 1: up and landed to a receiver running down the right side.
Speaker 1: First off, we never have to throw a ball unless
Speaker 1: it's a broken play. Ever, we'll never throw a ball
Speaker 1: sixty yards unless it's a scramble. A hail Mary or
Speaker 1: you're scrambling around. Have to make plays and you have
Speaker 1: to do it like Cordell Stewart did years ago, Doug
Speaker 1: Flutie did against Notre Dame. Scramble around by time and
Speaker 1: throw it seventy two yards. That those are nice, but
Speaker 1: or when you got to throw it from the thirty
Speaker 1: five yard line for a hail mary. Yes, but in
Speaker 1: a drop back throw and it's Brian Billick did a
Speaker 1: study on this. It was like, forty four yards is
Speaker 1: the perfect throw? Five yards on the sideline on a
Speaker 1: go route. I don't even know it was. It just
Speaker 1: a deep momb on the right. Then throw a drop
Speaker 1: back throw five and a hit post. Yeah, you throw
Speaker 1: five or a big post, whatever it is. So you're
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down there, it's forty four yards in
Speaker 1: about in drifting five yards fading him to the sideline.
Speaker 1: You're rarely on a deep ball when you drop back
Speaker 1: throw on time to a receiver run and scoed one
Speaker 1: two three, four five or from the gun one two three,
Speaker 1: hitch and throw. It's a forty five forty seven, forty
Speaker 1: four yard throw and then they run after the catch.
Speaker 1: That's all fine, And I know it looks good and
Speaker 1: everybody hypes because on video. Make no mistake, I doubt
Speaker 1: that there's a starting quarterback well in the NFL. I
Speaker 1: know there's not, but a starting quarterback in the in
Speaker 1: college football at a Division I school that can't drop
Speaker 1: back and throw at fifty five sixty yards and hit
Speaker 1: a guy and striding shorts and a T shirt. It's
Speaker 1: fun and it's all hype and hyperbole. It's every everybody
Speaker 1: I know that plays a position. I'm coaching a bunch
Speaker 1: of them. Now, there's sixteen seventy you can make the throw? Now,
Speaker 1: can you make the throw under the reskt and hit
Speaker 1: the mouth and then make a deep dig throw and
Speaker 1: come back and hit this and make that throw? Those
Speaker 1: are fine, But can you make a curl route throw
Speaker 1: fifteen times over the course of Oh, you're thirteen out
Speaker 1: of fifteen under eleven on eleven Druss? It's fine because
Speaker 1: offseason I get the I get it, but let's not
Speaker 1: make a big deal over it because the four guys
Speaker 1: behind him at Alabama can do the same thing in
Speaker 1: shorts and a T shirt. I assure you lower those expects.
Speaker 1: Don't put that pressure. Hey through its sixty yards in
Speaker 1: a manning camp and shorts and a T shirt, and
Speaker 1: he's going to be a great player. He may be
Speaker 1: a great player. It'll have absolutely nothing to do with
Speaker 1: sixty yard throw in a pair of shorts and a
Speaker 1: T shirt and a camp. Not playing eleven on eleven. Hell,
Speaker 1: I damn near maybe still be able to do that now.
Speaker 1: I can't move it for squat. I ain't gonna run it.
Speaker 1: But my point is is that we make a big
Speaker 1: deal over it and the expectations. Judge, I'll find out
Speaker 1: what kind of skill set of guy's got eleven on eleven.
Speaker 1: All of them look good in shorts and a T shirt.
Speaker 1: They can all throw it.
Speaker 6: Remember, kids, you're always working eleven on eleven. It's never
Speaker 6: routes on air. You heard it here first.
Speaker 1: Never routes on air, because if you're just throwing it
Speaker 1: to throw it, those are wasted reps. Why the why
Speaker 1: is always why are you throwing that ball to that
Speaker 1: curl route? If you're playing eleven on eleven, you'll have
Speaker 1: an answer for me. You're always thinking football if you're
Speaker 1: playing routes on air and it's me throwing to no defense,
Speaker 1: I don't think on Sundays or Saturdays, did we play.
Speaker 1: Did we play routes on air? I do believe there's
Speaker 1: eleven defenders you've got to deal with just a hunch.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen a game like that unless
Speaker 1: it's a Pro Bowl seven on a flag football gold
Speaker 1: medal game. Seven on seven could ruin a guy too
Speaker 1: if you're taking bad reps because you don't understand the
Speaker 1: process of a pass rush. But good reps matter. Scared
Speaker 1: money don't make money. Empty reps don't aren't good reps.
Speaker 1: So there you go and throwing it fifty five or
Speaker 1: sixty yards to a guy in shorts and a T shirt. Thanks,
Speaker 1: But it's every swinging unit that plays can make that throw.
Speaker 6: What if I were to tell you that something that
Speaker 6: people perceive to be a concern is actually a really
Speaker 6: good thing, And I'll explain that here as we continue
Speaker 6: on the Seawn Salisbury Show on a Monday Sports Talk
Speaker 6: seven to ninety.
Speaker 1: Hey, country boys, roof in guys time. I don't know
Speaker 1: if the storms hit you or I was up in
Speaker 1: my neck of the woods. It pounded yesterday day before me.
Speaker 1: They keep coming. So how's your roof? Let's get right
Speaker 1: down to it. Is your roof doing what it needs
Speaker 1: to do. Is it starting to age a little bit?
Speaker 1: The weather you know, we get starts to heat and
Speaker 1: rain and heat rain before you don't wins coming get
Speaker 1: out in front of this. You want your we safe

Speaker 1: roof when you're a first responder or an educator or

Speaker 1: to help you to make it easier. And they want

Speaker 1: through this who's not going to crush you with the
Speaker 1: price gouging. That's Country Boys Roofing. There is no better

Speaker 1: Country Boys Roofing Great team, Countryboysroofing dot Com. Countryboysroofing dot Com.
Speaker 6: The seven ninety listener line here in the nine o'clock
Speaker 6: hour is presented by one eight hundred car cash. Now
Speaker 6: it is more popular than it has ever been. Leagues
Speaker 6: are willing to embrace such properties now. I mean you
Speaker 6: can't watch a game now without seeing live odds or
Speaker 6: you know, some sort of daily fantasy play, whatever it
Speaker 6: might be.
Speaker 1: It's it's part of the fabric now. I mean it
Speaker 1: comes with the house. Yep.
Speaker 6: It's in the NFL, it's in Major League Baseball, it's
Speaker 6: in the NBA. Well, Malik Beasley is one of the
Speaker 6: top free agents this offseason, and he is part of
Speaker 6: a federal investigation right now because what got this started
Speaker 6: was a prominent sports book which was not named in
Speaker 6: the story reportedly detected unusual betting activity on Beasley props
Speaker 6: as are in early twenty twenty four. It was actually
Speaker 6: January of twenty twenty five for when it was a
Speaker 6: game between the Bucks and the Portland Trailblazers where Beasley
Speaker 6: was recording less than two and a half rebounds, and
Speaker 6: it moved significantly before the game, going from around plus
Speaker 6: one twenty to minus two fifty after an under experienced
Speaker 6: a high amount of action and Beasley that night recorded
Speaker 6: six rebounds. Now, his attorney has told ESPN an investigation
Speaker 6: is not a charge and that my client has afforded
Speaker 6: the same right to presumption of innocence as anyone else.
Speaker 6: The NBA says they are cooperating with federal prosecutors on
Speaker 6: this case. Now, some people might look at this and say,
Speaker 6: see with you know, gambling just everywhere, Now this is
Speaker 6: going to happen. You're going to have you know where
Speaker 6: you know guys are on the take again, guys you know,
Speaker 6: shave points, whatever it might be. I go the opposite way.
Speaker 6: It's reasons like this or why they're not going to happen.
Speaker 6: Because the sports books is for anybody that as any
Speaker 6: type of notion about them. Whenever they see things like this,
Speaker 6: they immediately somebody comes up and you know they they
Speaker 6: can track you.
Speaker 1: They know what your action is. The sports books and
Speaker 1: the way they track it, in the way the NFL
Speaker 1: or NBA or Major League Baseball will and can and
Speaker 1: does track it is not to be messed with. I'm
Speaker 1: just telling you. And when you wake up and you
Speaker 1: think that you can beat the system, they will find you.
Speaker 1: It always does, and they they're looking and the more
Speaker 1: attention meaning okay, let's say gambling and betting is legal
Speaker 1: in all fifty states, they're gonna be on high alert too,
Speaker 1: because they don't want to get cheated. They don't want
Speaker 1: to The books don't want to get cheated either. They
Speaker 1: don't want you to start to collude with your guys,
Speaker 1: say hey, do this, do this, do this. Then they're
Speaker 1: they're losing because when it comes to the bottom line,
Speaker 1: like most business, they're gonna make they're gonna protect their
Speaker 1: they're protecting them and in the process they're gonna protect
Speaker 1: the player from the self. I am completed in complete
Speaker 1: agreement with you, in disagreement that because somebody like you
Speaker 1: can find it if you want to do it. They'll
Speaker 1: just go get a bookie and if they're dumb enough,
Speaker 1: they'll do it themselves.
Speaker 4: And know that.
Speaker 1: I mean, if they're that dumb and get found out.
Speaker 1: I don't know what Beasley did and that's why I'm
Speaker 1: not going to bury him yet til I know his
Speaker 1: lawyer is exactly correct. He does deserve being investigated. Doesn't
Speaker 1: mean you're guilty. That's we automatically think, whoo, whether's smoke,
Speaker 1: there's fire, and in some cases there may very well be.
Speaker 1: It'd be hard for me to believe. And then again,
Speaker 1: it's not hard because we've seen some stupidity, and I
Speaker 1: understand the hypocrisy of the pro sports about gambling and
Speaker 1: then having sponsors on outfield walls or on you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, or on uniforms or whatever we're doing. Now,
Speaker 1: there's a bit of hypocrisy there. They're getting rich off
Speaker 1: the billions and getting on you for betting on a
Speaker 1: fantasy team eight bucks. Okay, as a player, but I
Speaker 1: get it. It's said the rule is set, so you
Speaker 1: got to live by it, and it's basically a law
Speaker 1: in pro sports as we've seen. But when it comes
Speaker 1: to this, they will find you if there's active, if
Speaker 1: there's activity that hasn't been going on, Hey, your bank
Speaker 1: can find if it's that's weird activity, you weren't in
Speaker 1: that state, distay, and you can't use your debit card
Speaker 1: in the next day over because yesterday you're using it
Speaker 1: in a grocery store and they flag it and they
Speaker 1: let you know, and you're like, oh, now you've got
Speaker 1: to go through the hassle of Okay, I gotta wait too.
Speaker 1: It's a pain in the ass. But they watch it
Speaker 1: for a reason. Even sometimes you feel like you got
Speaker 1: to tell them you're traveling. So it's're not getting gas
Speaker 1: in five different states. But in this same thing, dude,
Speaker 1: it's they listen, start talking about golf and on your phone,
Speaker 1: on your phone, a golf ads going to show up.
Speaker 1: It just is start talking about so on this and
Speaker 1: you're actually putting it in that They know how to
Speaker 1: track these that's what they do, and they pay people
Speaker 1: a lot of money to do it. So I don't
Speaker 1: know what Beasley did, and he deserves the right for
Speaker 1: us to find out the truth. If he did do it,
Speaker 1: you can't be any dumber than that. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: care if it was one hundred bucks or a hundred
Speaker 1: thousand bucks. You can't be there. I know I'll beat
Speaker 1: this system because if there's crazy movement, they look in
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden there's a trail. There's
Speaker 1: always a trail. That act that said, they do it
Speaker 1: when you're setting there in person, and do it if
Speaker 1: you're sitting there and you're away from it, do it there.
Speaker 1: And I don't the reason I said him, but any
Speaker 1: of us would be dumb to say, hey man, I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna do this and change this and and boom,
Speaker 1: it's a flashing neon light for them. And then you
Speaker 1: know what they do. They dive deeper. And once that
Speaker 1: dive starts, brother, if you're guilty, they will get you.
Speaker 1: So we can have all the argument we want on
Speaker 1: the hypocrisy of pro sports at times with this. But
Speaker 1: on the other side, I'm with you. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: if you're gonna gamble and you're addicted to it, you're
Speaker 1: gonna do it whether it's available to you a mile
Speaker 1: away or one hundred miles away. But the more you
Speaker 1: start to see this appen, players get scared thinking and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose twenty five million dollars. What if they
Speaker 1: suspend me, kick me out a league. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: not why. You don't need to do that. And if
Speaker 1: you ever were going to try to cheat the system,
Speaker 1: I'm not giving him any ideas, but there's a way
Speaker 1: to do it without you punching a button yourself, or
Speaker 1: could just just silly, right, silly, don't try to beat
Speaker 1: their system because over the long haul, they're gonna get you,
Speaker 1: and when it's a crazy movement, they'll get you. And
Speaker 1: as a pro athlete, there's the risk is not worth
Speaker 1: the reward. There's two fail saves here.
Speaker 6: Number one, as I said, they're really good at seeing
Speaker 6: when it looks like something is afloat, in no question.
Speaker 6: The other as well, as it's a highly regulated industry
Speaker 6: that is very good at not giving away their money.
Speaker 1: Not a dime, okay. They they know how to make
Speaker 1: it and they know how to keep it, and they
Speaker 1: know how to prevent from them getting hammered with it.
Speaker 6: And there's people who deal with sharps that have a
Speaker 6: lot of money. Those people I've found out over the weekend,
Speaker 6: they get different odds.
Speaker 1: Of course they do, because you're willing to put your
Speaker 1: put in more yes, those guys who move the line
Speaker 1: and change the whole course of it. Yes, they get
Speaker 1: different odds. And that's why you'll see these big sports
Speaker 1: betters shop their their services to certain I want this one,
Speaker 1: I want this, and I want this, and well what
Speaker 1: am I getting on this? Oh we'll give you an
Speaker 1: extra half a point. Oh cool, then you'll take my
Speaker 1: ten million bucks. Of course, it's called negotiations in smart business.
Speaker 1: I had one, I mean, and sometimes they lose at
Speaker 1: it and they don't get their bonus at their casito
Speaker 1: and hope that the next time. Yet the guy that
Speaker 1: the very guy that hammers them and beats them because
Speaker 1: he's a sharp is the guy they welcome back into
Speaker 1: the casito in the sportsbook because they're saying, he got
Speaker 1: us one time, and we're gonna get him. But they
Speaker 1: do regulate, they watch it closely. If you're ever going
Speaker 1: to try to beat a system, guess what, that ain't
Speaker 1: the one. It's just not every little hint, nook and
Speaker 1: cranny they will find. I hope Malik Beasley did not
Speaker 1: do this, because you don't need that. Number two is
Speaker 1: too much. There's too much money for you to make
Speaker 1: a couple. And I understand people like the challenge. Find
Speaker 1: a different challenge. If that's the case, let's hope that
Speaker 1: he wasn't doing that. Get your thrills somewhere else, no doubt.
Speaker 1: All Right, the Astros things have been really good. Just
Speaker 1: how good were they over the weekend.
Speaker 6: We'll discuss that as we close out the Monday edition
Speaker 6: of the Sean Salisbury Shows Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 10: Let the celebration start war Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk
Speaker 10: seven ninety.
Speaker 6: Jabari Smith Junior five year, one hundred and twenty two
Speaker 6: million dollar extension with the Rockets someone three two one
Speaker 6: two five seven ninety. The next three guys to go
Speaker 6: for the Astros this week are gonna be Colton Gordon Tomorrow,
Speaker 6: Hunter Brown on Wednesday, and then Brandon Walker or Brandon
Speaker 6: Walter on not the guy from Barstool, Brandon Walter on Thursday.
Speaker 6: And then you get the Dodgers series where Fromber will
Speaker 6: throw during that series.
Speaker 1: That almost feels like an LA trip way that's over
Speaker 1: the July fourth weekend, and uh uh man, that'd be
Speaker 1: a fun trip. Really wouldn't, even though I mean, you
Speaker 1: know it's I know you're getting on a plane and
Speaker 1: all that travel and it's a pain in the ass
Speaker 1: because there's so many p It's supposed to be a
Speaker 1: record travel weekend or week this week, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: Every year they say there's a record of some of
Speaker 1: some sort. But that'd be a fun series to be
Speaker 1: at Chavez Ravine watching the Astros and the Dodgers play
Speaker 1: over the fourth weekend with fireworks at the stadium. That
Speaker 1: would be really cool. It's gonna be anybody that's doing
Speaker 1: good on you man, that's all have you seen? Huh Yeah?
Speaker 1: Love that cut. But it's a well, they're about to
Speaker 1: get a load of seeing the Astros too. This is
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun pitching matchups.
Speaker 6: Well, it's also I mean, for what you just did
Speaker 6: this past week where you beat a Phillies team who's
Speaker 6: really good, just took two out of three from the
Speaker 6: Braves over the weekend in Atlanta, and then you took
Speaker 6: on a Cubs team that was the same as you
Speaker 6: record wise, and you were able to take two out
Speaker 6: of three from them and able to have a good
Speaker 6: amount of offense on Friday, not so much on Saturday,
Speaker 6: in just enough yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what's great too, is that. Don't
Speaker 1: kid yourself. The Dodgers know who these astros are, and
Speaker 1: so does major League Baseball. Maybe we had a question
Speaker 1: early of what they were gonna be like this year.
Speaker 1: They know exactly what you're in for, as does everybody
Speaker 1: else in both the American and National League, of what
Speaker 1: you're getting out of these astros. And there's a different
Speaker 1: I mean, they've always had this great grind. There's a delivererent,
Speaker 1: a different belief for me and them. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is, and I'm trying to put my finger
Speaker 1: because I don't know. From my point of view, good
Speaker 1: pitching and all the stuff that's obvious, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do I maybe feel like that they're tired of hearing
Speaker 1: that they did. Maybe the Ashles get the point where well,
Speaker 1: this guy's gone, this guy's gone, and they just keep
Speaker 1: going that. It's like, well stay tuned, you know what
Speaker 1: it's weird. Jake Myers, I feel like he got tired
Speaker 1: of hearing people say can't hit right. And sometimes I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, I know in mic it is a factor.
Speaker 1: And when you say, well, don't listen to people say
Speaker 1: some people we just you hear whether you want to
Speaker 1: or not, because somebody will make sure they let you know.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. There's just a different for me,
Speaker 1: a different confidence about this team. I don't know if
Speaker 1: maybe the bullpen makes me feel a security blanket. I
Speaker 1: don't know. If it's just that guys continue to elevate
Speaker 1: their play. I don't know if it's just the emergence
Speaker 1: of Jake Myers and Paynya and camp Smith among others
Speaker 1: that make you feel like damn. But it's almost as
Speaker 1: if they and you know what, there's not a whole
Speaker 1: lot of and I don't mean this disrespectful. How often
Speaker 1: is this team and I know we love it. Does
Speaker 1: this team batflip in a third inning home run? Not
Speaker 1: very often, right, Rare? I mean, it's almost their expectation.
Speaker 1: This is who we are, man, we're Barry Sanders approach,
Speaker 1: We score touchdowns, the ball goes back to referee. Not
Speaker 1: that that matters, but there's just it's part of the
Speaker 1: whole picture. It almost feels like they expect to do it.
Speaker 1: I know exactly what it is.
Speaker 6: It's close games late, and if it's in that scenario,
Speaker 6: they look at it and say, that's our game.
Speaker 1: And what happens when you win close games late and
Speaker 1: come from behind and keep closing games out and winning them.
Speaker 1: You know what happens is that you I'm telling you
Speaker 1: it's a habit. It's no longer I think we can.
Speaker 1: It's oh, it's two to one done that. That's how
Speaker 1: you feel. And you're more shocked if you lose it
Speaker 1: than if you win it and I don't. It's they're
Speaker 1: not supposed I'm just telling you they're not supposed to
Speaker 1: be this good this year. They're just not supposed to be.
Speaker 1: You can't walk down one after one, one after the
Speaker 1: other say oh yeah, I knew this. It's to stop it.
Speaker 1: And there was no bigger endorser of cam Smith than me.
Speaker 1: And you know this down to the ends of the earth. Endorser.
Speaker 1: Do not send it to the minor leagues. Don't waste it.
Speaker 1: He's too good and hoping that it comes to fruition.
Speaker 1: There's no way he thought this. You just didn't, myers.
Speaker 1: You're eighty points different than what you thought. I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you are so pitching. We can go through it,
Speaker 1: take a laundry list of it, but they are not
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing this.
Speaker 6: In the last thirty eight games, cam Smith is hitting
Speaker 6: three twenty three. I believe the Astros are twenty six
Speaker 6: and twelve.
Speaker 1: I'm just testing. And when I say not supposed to,
Speaker 1: they're good. But the expectations I mean, being this good,
Speaker 1: I just you're not supposed to and it's not easy.
Speaker 1: But it's not supposed to feel this easy. Right at
Speaker 1: fifty and thirty four. Yeah, it's impressive. You didn't have
Speaker 1: this on your card. Man, you had a good and
Speaker 1: we'll see. But it's no longer now good. Now we're
Speaker 1: talking to C. Sparks. There's nobody that has They have
Speaker 1: less weakness than anybody in the American League. Now, I
Speaker 1: want you to fathom that with all these injuries and
Speaker 1: what they've run, and Tucker and Bregman are long here.
Speaker 1: Oh they everybody in the American League has more weak
Speaker 1: This is in the Astros. Now, I want you to
Speaker 1: take that to heart. I'll tell you if you had
Speaker 1: that plan in April, at the beginning of April, not
Speaker 1: a lot of being going carnival. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 6: He's Shawn Salisbury Triple Emmanuel Elmore, Dan Matthews. It is
Speaker 6: another edition of the Shawan Salisbury Show. In the books
Speaker 6: The matt Thomas Show with Ross coming up right here.
