Well, they should 38 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.120 go dominate Colorado. Right, we'll get to that as the 39 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.080 week wears on July fourth week, mind you, so sure 40 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:28.960 a lot of people are getting on their vacations and 41 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.680 doing their thing. Good morning, and I hope you got all. 42 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.800 They're starting to pop the fireworks already. I heard it 43 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.439 last night. A little premature, right, just just a tad early. 44 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.719 Save those dogs, let them have a little reskp say yeah, 45 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.080 one night, I understand, but don't make it seven right. Yeah? 46 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:45.240 Man? 47 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.280 It was a good, good weekend. They take care of 48 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.960 another series and pitching has been lights out other than 49 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.719 the aberration, which I'm sure we'll get into Saturday, which 50 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.560 begs the question, who what are we going to get 51 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.800 in this city? Getter? What is he going to get 52 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.960 the colors out of his game? Where's it going? I'm 53 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.280 looking at the future now, Just what happens Saturday? What's 54 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.400 going on? Because unfortunately for he and Gusta, it was 55 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.080 a rough Saturday, you know what I'm saying. But you 56 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.560 know it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. I guess it 57 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.080 happened to happen. When it happens to a guy who's 58 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.240 been hurt and has shown flashes of brilliance in the 59 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.719 ups and downs, I think it begs the question where 60 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.599 do you go from here? Right? And it does, so 61 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.879 we'll get into that. But you know you're gonna have 62 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:29.400 those in the Cubs are a good team. They took 63 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.360 advantage of it and a couple of huge innings and 64 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.479 on Saturday, but bounce back and from Weer just mows 65 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.560 him down, man, he just did did his thing with 66 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.840 great help from the bullpen, and the back ended their 67 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.159 did their gig and Al two ve got the clutch 68 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.639 hit again over and weren't overly explosive offensively on Sunday, 69 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.919 but they got the key hit when needed, and a 70 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.479 pitching when you don't give up much or any, you 71 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.280 don't lose, and it doesn't matter if you score one. 72 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:55.639 When you don't give up any. It looks like you 73 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.879 beat him seventeen to one. But it was other than 74 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.240 the trip up on saturd which I'm sure a lot 75 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.039 of people will end up focusing on. The good stuff 76 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.680 is is that they're what fifty and thirty four or 77 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.919 something right on the number. You just got ready four 78 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:14.639 right there. It's it's pretty spectacular the way that they're playing. 79 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.759 And and you know, go and dominate the next few 80 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.560 weeks and get yourself into the All Star break feeling 81 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:22.759 comfortable and hopefully closer to health. 82 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:22.920 Man. 83 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.399 Now, I think both of those things are important details. 84 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.720 I mean, you know, we have Dana Brown on every 85 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.920 single Sunday for Astro launch with Robert Ford, and he 86 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:33.800 went through some of those things. We'll get to those, 87 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.920 but I mean you know the good before we get 88 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.120 to like you said, the Saturday is, I mean, first 89 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.920 and foremost, I think offensively the good Cam Smith. He's 90 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.319 not afraid man, I mean he It's one of those 91 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.759 now where I think that he believed that he could. 92 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.519 Now he knows that he can. And Friday night it 93 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.480 was all right, you guys trade me. 94 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:57.040 I get it. 95 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.600 And I thought that was pretty interesting from Dana Brown 96 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.879 yesterday where they revisited the trade and he straight up said, 97 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.959 he goes. We told them if he's not in this deal, 98 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:08.079 we're not making this deal. 99 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:09.800 Right. 100 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:12.439 Sorry about that. I got to turn my mic on. 101 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.160 I believe the only reason they ended up making the 102 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.000 deal is because that the closing part of that deal 103 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.399 was it's him or we don't do this. I don't 104 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.319 see how judging from the name before they even came here, 105 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:30.680 the names involved it was Nesky and what uh and 106 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.959 and perettis they and then you Cam wasn't the throw in. 107 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.800 Cam was d piece for them to do. And you 108 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.480 can see Go rolls right through spring training kicks but 109 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.160 comes in here and has gotten better the whole time. 110 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.319 Even when he went through the lull early like young 111 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.199 players do, he was remember the question I asked when 112 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.600 we talked about I said, how will he handle failure 113 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.959 and success? That that's what will judge me, not when 114 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.639 he goes over for how he handles it, because he'll 115 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.120 go through those where he's sit in one ninety seven, 116 00:05:58.160 --> 00:05:59.759 and he'll go through where he's had a couple of 117 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.040 games where he's good, and then somewhere he feels overwhelmed 118 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.279 and you know, adjusting to right field and all that 119 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.959 and at the plate. But they saw something and he 120 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.879 proved that and he earned that right because the way 121 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.480 he played in the spring, he just dominated and he 122 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.360 gave him as I say, he made it impossible for 123 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.279 them not to keep him if impossible exists, but about 124 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.279 as impossible as it can for a young prospect trying 125 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.000 to get a shot at a major league level. Early, 126 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.480 he did everything possible to say there's no way you 127 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.120 can send me down. And then when they kept him 128 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.279 up here through the struggles, he just fought through it 129 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.199 and kept going. And now you got him where you 130 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.399 trust him in the four hole, you know what I'm saying. 131 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.279 So it's he's different, and you could say people could 132 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:41.680 say what everything want. I know, it's young and in 133 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.079 infancy his career, but you can see it with the 134 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.319 naked eye. It's not hard. And then you talk about 135 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.399 all the deep stuff that's scouting and the manager and 136 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.480 all the people who do their due diligence and part 137 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.839 of this trade to get him. What makes him special, 138 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.120 that's for them to decide, because they see him every day, 139 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:57.759 how he prepares and does this thing. We kind of 140 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.360 see it from a distance, but from a distance it's 141 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.040 pretty simple to see why. I'm always asking the question why, 142 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.959 and he answers it and has gotten better all year long. 143 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.720 He's a special player, and I'm with him. You don't 144 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.000 get to have Kyle Tucker and a guy who's an 145 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.839 All Star and an MVP candidate. Damn near feels like 146 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.120 when he's healthy every year, you don't get to have him. 147 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.439 And then turn around and give us, you know, some players, 148 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.519 but without giving us a guy who we expect to 149 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.079 be We got rid of the guy and now going 150 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.439 in and I'm not sure they thought he was going 151 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.439 to be a right fielder, but we got rid of 152 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.800 a guy who's a got ten years of great baseball 153 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.279 left in him. And then you bring in a guy 154 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.959 that you're hoping has that kind of baseball in him. Well, 155 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.040 what a brilliant move to say, it's either cam Smith 156 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.399 and this deal is not happening. And look what he's 157 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.959 done here, and look with Kyle it's worked. It's not 158 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.079 always that trade works both ways for both teams. At 159 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.120 least are in the infancy of it. And it has 160 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.759 the sands the injury to wizn Esky. But Cam Smith's 161 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.480 a different cat. Dude, he is, and I you know, 162 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.160 for me, I said, there's no way you send him now. 163 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:08.959 Let him learn here and see what he's got. It's 164 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.319 like a quarterback that starts as a rookie. I ain't 165 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.800 pulling him out after two bad starts. Now I understand 166 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:15.600 what happened to Bryce Young after just about seven or 167 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.120 eight it gets overwhelming. Sure, but I'm not pulling a 168 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.759 guy out. You don't. I'm not. You don't get the 169 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.680 bail on me that quickly. Not that they wanted to, 170 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.240 but I'm not letting you off the hook that easy. 171 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:27.000 You're going to find out what it's like to take, 172 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.360 you know, punches to the face and see how you 173 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.160 deal with it. I need to know that if I'm 174 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.039 a coacher and a team because if there's fragility in 175 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.360 the personality or the emotional side of it. There's probably 176 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:43.559 always gonna be I've never met a great player I'm 177 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:45.879 talking about it came in as a rookie too, there 178 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.279 was fragile personality wise. Never I bet guys who you know, 179 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:51.399 all of a sudden were great players and just it 180 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.480 just didn't work out right. But it had zero to 181 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.480 do with how mentally tough they were. They just couldn't 182 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.240 hit a curveball or a quarterback that was just wasn't 183 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.200 accurate or wide receiver that hey, he wasn't afraid of anything. 184 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:03.879 His hands just weren't as good as the guy next 185 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.799 to him. He wasn't as precise as outrunner. If they're great, 186 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.240 I'm talking about going in you said that guy is 187 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.360 special or a great player. But if they got eliminated 188 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.039 the great player that I've been around that there's been 189 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:17.399 great talent that's been eliminated because they weren't emotionally tough. 190 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.120 But I've never seen a great producer or a guy 191 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.159 that you see that that came in, whether he was 192 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:23.960 a first year guy or ninth yeer guys. My point 193 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.840 that was emotionally and mentally soft they couldn't handle great 194 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:32.639 success or failure. Now I've met plenty that couldn't handle it, 195 00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:37.200 that were talented, but that you knew that from beginning 196 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.320 to end. If they were fragile early, they were going 197 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.960 to be fragile late. Does that make it they're all 198 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.080 worried about what everybody else said. If they weren't fragile early, 199 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.000 they weren't going to be fragile late. Some may get 200 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:48.559 a little chippy at the end of their career because 201 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.159 they want to hang on two extras. I'm talking about 202 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.720 when they're there. I've never played with a good player 203 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:57.279 that was a rookie that had a fragile personality that 204 00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.480 ended up being a star. I haven't played welle. Now, 205 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.320 somebody outse there may be the outlier and the operation. 206 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.080 I'm sure there is. The guys I've been around, whether 207 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.559 it was college, whether it was playing in the NFL, 208 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.480 whether I was my senior year and a freshman came in, 209 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.080 Like when we had Tim McDonald, the great safety from 210 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.000 the player with the forty years who, by the way, 211 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.759 should probably be a Hall of Fame or at least close. 212 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.679 Tim McDonald was a couple of years behind us my 213 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.240 class when he came in. Put him in there. There 214 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.120 was nothing fragile about it. I used him because we 215 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:26.799 could talk about the Marcus sounds like a guy that 216 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:28.600 maybe not a lot of people talk about, but was 217 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.399 a great player and a great athlete. You knew as 218 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.320 a rookie, as a freshman at SC that he was 219 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.600 different and it didn't matter if he missed a tackle, 220 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.360 and then he was a I mean, he would hit you, 221 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.399 but it didn't matter. It didn't matter if you bench 222 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:41.960 him if he missed a tackle. If he missed it, it 223 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.600 didn't matter. He wasn't coming to the sideline worried about 224 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.360 what you were thinking. In fragile, ever, ended up being 225 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.759 a great player in college, ended up being a great 226 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.919 plan in pro I have yet to meet a guy 227 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:56.240 that was fragile as a rookie or fragile young that 228 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.159 all of a sudden became a tough person. Now some 229 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.879 may grind through it, but in my life being around 230 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:02.840 these great players that I've been fortunate enough to watch 231 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.399 do their work, and I think cam Smith, at least 232 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:10.279 early on, has all those traits that if he fails, 233 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.679 or as success he fails, it isn't going to be 234 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.200 because he's fragile personality wise, it's just not He may 235 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.879 struggle with something else along the way, hopefully it's not 236 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.600 injuries or anything like that. But the great players I've 237 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.559 been around, you may think they're fragile from a distancer, 238 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.440 you may question them. They don't ever worry about them 239 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.919 questioning themselves or if they can handle getting knocked down. 240 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:35.279 The great players were tough as a rookie and tough 241 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.600 in their tenth year. And I'm talking about mentally and 242 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.840 emotionally tough. I think this kid's got that. I don't 243 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.799 care if he strikes out twenty times in a row. Physically, 244 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.120 he may go on and he may try harder and 245 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.120 all that, but I'm talking about I guarantee he ain't 246 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.559 going home sitting there thinking I can't come out of this. 247 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.919 And the other side is if you were fragile early brother, 248 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.120 and you have confidence, and you were fragile, I know 249 00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:58.600 you're trying to fit in. We all have that. But 250 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.440 I'm talking about you know that. What I'm I'm about 251 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:04.279 that at the slightest adversity, the guy semi wilts, you 252 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.600 know that guy. I've never seen a guy who had 253 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:10.000 that fragile personality as a rookie turn into ooh, he 254 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.639 all of a sudden became mister non fragile. It's rare. 255 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:13.559 It's rare. 256 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.480 It's that's DNA brother, and that's in that that's in 257 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.399 the bloodstream, and you know a lot of times that's 258 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.279 the saying he's got it. I think in this case 259 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:22.399 it's he's different. 260 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:24.879 Yeah, and I did. None of us know what it is. 261 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.919 But when you when you do it all and you 262 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.679 get all the players sitting in one side of the 263 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:34.879 room in any sport that have it. Connor McDavid, you 264 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.240 look at this kid, Cam Smith, Jeremy pill find Jeremy Pania, 265 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.000 go go look at Shay gilgis out whoever it is. 266 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.919 It's you know, there's there's just something different where they 267 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.840 walk on and you forget, or on the golf course, Tiger, 268 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.480 you forget that they're the age, they are right and 269 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:52.960 well whatever it isn't just that you can throw it hard. 270 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.240 But that was the case, we'd have a lot of it. Factor. 271 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.039 It factor I think comes from this non tent the 272 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:03.720 things you can't see very often. I think it's the 273 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.720 intangible stuff that does, whether it's their work they're doing 274 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.519 the lonely work, working without not worried about that, not 275 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.000 reading press clippings good or bad. Just stay in the 276 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.519 course and not letting anything detour them or take them 277 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.000 on a detour from their training. And if somebody does 278 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.360 push them on a detour, they know how to train, 279 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.000 They know how to get things done on the detour 280 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.000 without without poutin and whining about it. So, yeah, man, 281 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.480 it's the IT factor doesn't usually come from stuff we 282 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.759 can see. It usually comes from stuff we can't, camp Smith. 283 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.120 All the stuff you can't see is brilliant. All the 284 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:35.960 stuff you can't see, if you haven't seen it yet, 285 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.279 I think that we're probably then you're not paying attention 286 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:43.960 because he's just Those guys like him are built different. 287 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.879 And I'm not sure you can buy that in a store, buddy, now, 288 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.399 can't be coached, can't be taught. It's either you got 289 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.240 it or you don't. It's it's that simple. And camp Smith, 290 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.320 I think we can agree. Hitting two seventy six with 291 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.960 a seven to seventy seven ops, he definitely fits that mold, 292 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.000 all right. Three two one two five seven ninety is 293 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:03.919 the number to get in on the phone line seven 294 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.200 one three two one, two, five, seven ninety. But coming up, 295 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.480 we are inching closer to the trade deadline and a 296 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.639 lot of people have their opinions on the ASTROS priority. 297 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.960 I think the priority is clearly defined and we'll talk 298 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.120 about it right here. It is the Sean Salisbury Show 299 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:20.919 Sports Talk seven ninety. 300 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.159 This Sean Salisbury Show continues to continue. 301 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.240 They had a bunch of miss putts with opportunities, but 302 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:31.960 there was a bunch of they would get he and 303 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.679 Grazerman and Chris Kirk getting Chris Kirk getting after it, 304 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:37.159 and they all had chances to close it out, but 305 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.320 just you know, a lot of balls just edged the 306 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:44.440 cup and rolled out and then finally pop Geeter on 307 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.679 their fifth playoff hole. I think it was the par 308 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.679 five where they both they both breathed in. I think 309 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.159 of the par three is what he wanted. I watched 310 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.159 the whole turn. I can't remember. They've got so many playoffalls. 311 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:55.720 I think they wanted again on the second time they 312 00:14:55.720 --> 00:15:00.440 went back and played I think fifteen. But yeah, it 313 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:04.799 was because Max Grazerman came up short and missed his punt. 314 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.440 He rolled by, and then finally Poteater knocked it in. 315 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.320 But average three thirty four, dude. In the par five 316 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.320 five hundred and fifty eight yards, and Grazerman's not short. 317 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.440 He went three thirty one and he had three thirty 318 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.039 eight or three thirty for a pot Geater averaged almost 319 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.559 three forty off the tee during the entire week in Detroit, 320 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.679 he went driver eight iron to a five hundred and 321 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:30.759 sixty yard par five. 322 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.879 You would think that eight iron would mean that you're 323 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.519 laying up, he said. Now eight iron is me going 324 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:36.759 for it. 325 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.080 Well, here's what you have to understand about this. Think 326 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.240 about this. You played, you've played with good Your brother's 327 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.720 a good golfer. Yeah, I've played with a lot of 328 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:45.720 good golfers. At times. I've got enough in me to 329 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.799 you know, you know, reach a par five and when 330 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.679 you smoke a drive and hit it. But I'm talking 331 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.759 about good players that I play with. It are pretty long, right, 332 00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:58.320 Smoke a drive. You're staring with that, especially when it's 333 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.000 surrounded by trouble. You're staring if you want to get 334 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.799 to a par five and two and somebody five sixty, 335 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:08.039 good buddy, If you hit it three hundred, you got 336 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.720 to go to sixty, dude. Yeah, so that's probably a 337 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.000 long that's probably three would you're hitting three wood if 338 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:14.480 you even want to make it, unless you want to 339 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.679 make it a three shot hole, and through two hundred 340 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:23.159 and sixty yard three wood for a non pro ninety 341 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.480 seven times out of one hundred you ain't getting there. 342 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.320 And the only other times if you hit a sprinkler 343 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.440 head or that two sixty with a three wood for 344 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.080 mo for well, for a plus ten handicap, he's never 345 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.879 he's never getting there unless it's down wind, downhill. But 346 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.279 on that course, most normal ones are you you got 347 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:41.320 to smoke a par three to get it somewhere, so 348 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.759 you can hit a little flip lob wedge in it's 349 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:46.919 half lobwedds, you get it close. But if you're fortunate 350 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.440 it's downwind, you hate your best drive of the day 351 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.000 and you hit a three wood just you know, flush 352 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.799 right right. And those I talk about good players that 353 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:58.559 we play it like a three handicap. He ain't hitting 354 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:03.080 five iron from two sixty eight. Okay, this dude, they 355 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.599 smoke it. He's carrying. They're going drive for eight iron. 356 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.240 That's not a par five. They mean, what do we 357 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:10.160 got to do? Lengthen them? The seven hundred yards it's 358 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.720 it's amazing. I know they've been their clubs with you know, 359 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.880 different angles and lofts and lies than we do. I 360 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.000 get it. My eight iron is supposed to go. What 361 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.400 a buck sixty five and their eight iron is supposed 362 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:22.640 to go. I saw. I watched the Grazerman hit a 363 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:25.680 two hundred and ten yard eight iron yesterday. Now it 364 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:27.960 can be down, it doesn't matter when it is. Ay 365 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.839 come back and pot Eaters hitting one fifty nine nine iron, 366 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:35.039 So the change is weird, but due you're averaging three 367 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:37.400 thirty fourth to te and you got to hit fairways 368 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.039 for it, I believe count just like you would in 369 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.440 a long drive contest. And then did a pumping eight 370 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:45.400 iron in there when most of the rest of the 371 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.920 world's hitting three iron and most and good golfers have 372 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.240 to think twice about it. Good good players. So it's 373 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.039 pretty impressive man. And it's one thing five iron and 374 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.000 eight iron for those guys. It's a world of difference 375 00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:58.640 when you got those two different clubs in your hand 376 00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:00.839 right where you expect to hit it. It was fun 377 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.440 to watch the Great Cup competition. It's got to be 378 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:05.119 harder on the dads and the moms are sitting there 379 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.599 watching with every putt and good on that the last 380 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.480 two guys were with Grazermen and pot Geter both would 381 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.799 have been there if he was their first win on 382 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:14.799 the PGA Tour, and pot Geter got his. And that 383 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.519 was like four or five times in the last year 384 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:18.960 that Grazerman's finished in second, but hanging around. One of 385 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:19.839 these times they'll break through. 386 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:19.960 It was. 387 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.839 It was a fun watch and they finally pot Geter 388 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.359 finally made a putt. Well, it's just it's it's good 389 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:28.079 to get that experience. And then he had to win 390 00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:30.920 in those situations right, applies to team sports too well. 391 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.319 And that's what is so great about golf too, is 392 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.440 that immediately after you can get you know, whoever lost, 393 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.640 Like I mean, good on Chris Kirk too, where he loses, 394 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:41.880 he's out of the playoff. 395 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.279 Too seconds, within thirty seconds he was doing an interview. 396 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.200 Yeah yeah, good, oh yeah, because he he had a 397 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:50.319 chance twice on short puts and couldn't make them to 398 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:52.279 put it away. But his swing is about as pretty 399 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:53.200 as you'll ever see. 400 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.039 Got some got some good young golfers out there, do 401 00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:57.880 we have and we got to see it yesterday. So 402 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:00.680 a couple of weeks away from the British Open too, 403 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.799 so me and you will get morning golf where that Thursday, 404 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:06.279 me and Gordy will be at SEC media days. But 405 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:10.319 then that Friday, sure as you're born, wake. 406 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.839 Up and they're they're in the they're in the middle 407 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:13.400 of a round, which is I do too. I know 408 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:16.559 we always when I was playing, we always we'd get 409 00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:20.200 up early, you know, before football practice, training camp, and 410 00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.359 we get up early for the British Open and you'd 411 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.000 be saiding, they're getting have breakfast. I would have wake 412 00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:25.839 up a little early, and it's it's on your dad. 413 00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:29.400 They're already going, right, okay, this is cool. So at 414 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.880 that point, yeah, pretty awesome. So yeah, it's some good golf. 415 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.480 But we do have some good young players, dude. These 416 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.559 teenagers and these twenty year olds and twenty five now 417 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:43.440 experience matters, but some of them are so naive to 418 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.720 the to the pressure of it. They're thinking, I'm twenty 419 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.319 I'm gonna win fifty. We talked about Marino, I'm gonna 420 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.240 win thirty more times on tour. So they probably throw 421 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:52.960 caution to the win a lot of times because they 422 00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:55.000 I mean, they're firing they're short sided them, so they're 423 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.519 firing it pins that you're like, dude, and they're twenty, 424 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:00.000 so they did the fear when you hit it three 425 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.680 forty is kind of taken out and man of pie, 426 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:06.400 if this kid continues to get back, imagine this at 427 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.160 twenty your winning turns hitting three forty. How good are 428 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:09.519 you gonna be when you actually know how to play? 429 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:13.440 You know what I mean? Yeah, So it's uh, it's impressive. 430 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:15.599 And they a lot of times these young players don't 431 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:18.920 have any idea that they're supposed to be pressure and 432 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.079 they sit back and let it rip. Golf some pretty 433 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.319 good shape. Even though we don't have the Tiger Woods effect, 434 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:25.519 we sure as hell got some good players. Man, they 435 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:27.319 can smoke it that we do. 436 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.119 And we saw that yesterday up in Detroit the Rocket Classics. 437 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:32.640 So Aldrich Pottkeater your winner. 438 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.839 And great, great, they're gonna enjoy saying his name over 439 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:36.880 the next twenty years. I kind of got I think 440 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.160 they liked. I think they like saying both his first 441 00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.440 and last year. Oh you know, I'll look at you know, 442 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.200 Chris Kirk. And they liked when they say, oh, shawflet's 443 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.079 playing great golf. Scheffler or Scottie. They refer to him 444 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:50.559 by his first name, but about a million times yesterday, 445 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:54.160 Aldrich Pottkey. They couldn't wait to say his day. Andrew 446 00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:55.359 cattle On, Andrew cattle On. 447 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.799 It almost kind of felt like went out of his 448 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.240 way because he was in for nance and it was 449 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:01.400 every single time pot Gater pott Geter. 450 00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:03.920 Oh yeah, he loved saying his name. It's almost kind 451 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.039 of like not a he or not a there he is, 452 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.240 it's a pot Geter. I mean they it was like 453 00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:11.160 it felt like a right of passage. 454 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:11.319 Man. 455 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:13.200 This name. It's going to be a great name from 456 00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:13.759 South Africa. 457 00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:15.400 It's almost a name like you would hear for a 458 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:17.839 guy playing out of like I don't know, a seat 459 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.599 in hall or somewhere in the in the NCAA tournament. 460 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.720 Ye, Jonas pott Geter, Yeah right, Aldrick pott Geater. He's 461 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:28.319 like he's like a nineteen year old that came over 462 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:32.279 and is like like Sibonis, right, he's a really good player. 463 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.039 Oh my gosh, this kid when he's and he's like 464 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:37.720 nineteen playing was dominating the Euros right right, And he 465 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:39.240 comes over here and they're like, oh, this guy was 466 00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.839 picked fourth in the draft. Guy's a monster talent and 467 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:46.480 his name was Aldrick pott Geeter. Yeah, power forward, Aldric 468 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:50.079 pot Geter. Yeah, I can see that pot Geter for three. 469 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.839 I could totally see Andrew Cattle. And we've gotten to 470 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:55.839 know Andrew cattalong quite a bit around here. I mean, 471 00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.799 he was on almost every single Texans game last year 472 00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:02.960 and then he called the what was it Milo's using 473 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.400 put back off the glass or the inbound He's a 474 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:09.720 he's a you got a good, good feature. It looks 475 00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:13.240 like they're trying to groom him to take over for 476 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.279 because because when Nance isn't doing it, and when he 477 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.559 takes a little time off on on events that maybe 478 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:20.920 we don't consider bigger events. Although the guy won yesterday 479 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:22.759 is two million dollars rich, it's a big event because 480 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:24.759 of FedEx Cup points and it's a win on tour. 481 00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:29.359 It's I think Catalan feels like he's the heir apparent 482 00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:32.920 whenever Jim decides it. He's ready to quit doing golf 483 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:34.759 in football because we know he's done doing the NC 484 00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:37.839 two A tournament. So but Jim still got along round 485 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:39.799 ahead of him. But it's nice that Jim gets to 486 00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:41.559 take some weekends off and Catalan does a nice job. 487 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:43.680 They got a good crew. Our golf crews are pretty good. 488 00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.480 I think Dottie Pepper, you know, when they talk about 489 00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:50.400 female broadcasters, forget talking about female or male. She's and 490 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:52.079 I know it's golf, and they don't spend a lot 491 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:54.039 of time when they're when you're foot soldiers on the 492 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:56.240 golf course, they give insight and give you I think 493 00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.720 Dottie Pepper for years, she's as good as the guys are. 494 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:02.200 Forget just say comparing her well, she as good as 495 00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.519 this woman when it comes to just good. I mean, 496 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.119 she's understated, gives you great insight on it because she 497 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.559 was the hell of a player, gives you great insight 498 00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:15.079 without over talking, and is fan and her vibe with 499 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.880 the with the guys on the on the tour, on 500 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:20.319 the broadcast group, I think she's really good. Nobody talks 501 00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:22.720 about her, maybe because it's she doesn't get him get 502 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:24.720 paid by the word doing play by play or color 503 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.759 and she's but I'm just telling you right now, you 504 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:29.720 could feel quite comfortable if nance talked to her for 505 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.240 two hours about and they're going. You'll learn a lot 506 00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:34.839 listening to Dottie pepperdew golf so good on her. I 507 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:38.519 just like the the vibe of it when they're when 508 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.359 they're going good and they're giving each other a hard 509 00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:42.680 time and Novolo's in there talking. I do. I like it. 510 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:44.640 And I think they're I think they're pretty loaded. And 511 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:46.839 I think Trevor Immoman's opinionated, got a little bit of 512 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:48.640 nick foul and him he's not afraid to criticize, you 513 00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:49.680 know what I'm saying, which is good. 514 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:52.599 Yeah, I mean he he's no brand of shambly. Shambly 515 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.079 is the guy that just lets it go. But no, 516 00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:56.359 Dottie does a great job. 517 00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:58.759 And then I believes and been in plenty arguments with 518 00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:02.559 TG Tour players. It's it's almost on a daily weekly basis, 519 00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:04.119 like it's he wears it as a badge of honor. 520 00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:06.880 Oh yeah, no, he absolutely does if somebody's upset with him. 521 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.359 And then I guess was it Coltonnast cult knows. 522 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:11.920 Sorry, Now he's the funny guy. 523 00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:15.400 He's the now the David Faride on the CBS crew, 524 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:17.680 and he was yesterday they were talking about that. I 525 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:20.640 think it was the fifth playoff hole where he was like, hey, guys, 526 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.559 this keeps going. I think I'm gonna switch spots with 527 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.279 you because the feed are starting to hurt you. 528 00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:27.359 He told that the catalogt he goes, hey did they 529 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:29.920 go one more playoff? Hole? My feet are hurting. We'll 530 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.559 switch and see, so we're switching holds, right, you can 531 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:36.000 call from the course. I'll be follow right, you follow. 532 00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:39.000 But he's got some good one liners like, oh boy, 533 00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.599 he's gonna need a he gonna he's gonna have to 534 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:43.960 hit as far as he did the Hole before a 535 00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.039 little bit short. I mean, just he's got some really 536 00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:49.119 clever one liners. It's a good group man, and Dottie 537 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:50.400 Pepper is really good. Yeah. 538 00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:52.960 Now they they've definitely been able to keep the continuity 539 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.759 over there. I mean even you know when they moved 540 00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:57.920 on from Peter Costas and then I'm trying to remember 541 00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:00.720 it to the Cord Yeah Gary McCord, Yeah, yeah, he 542 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.720 was always great too. So no, it's it's definitely a 543 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:06.119 fun watch for sure. And a couple of weeks away, 544 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.160 like I said, from the British Open, let's get back 545 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:12.680 to the Astros because the trade deadline rumors are flying 546 00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.480 and they are fast and furious, and some of them 547 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:16.000 makes sense. 548 00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:18.440 Some of them just really don't. We'll talk about it 549 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:18.839 right here. 550 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.839 It is a Sean Salisbury show on a Monday Sports 551 00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:24.680 Talk seven ninety. The seven ninety listener line in the 552 00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:27.119 six o'clock hour is brought to you by one eight 553 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:30.839 hundred car cash and it will definitely not happen. Now, 554 00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:33.119 that was the thing that cracked me up the most. 555 00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.720 Sean is everybody with his opting out, Oh, it sets 556 00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:39.359 up for him to make a return to Houston. I said, stop. 557 00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:42.960 They had the opportunity two years ago, supposedly had the meeting, 558 00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:45.759 and I think, if I'm not mistaken, at that point, 559 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:47.839 emy Udoka said, yeah, not for me. 560 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:50.720 Why would you bring him back here? I mean why 561 00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:54.039 once he left, what would what would bring him back here? See, 562 00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:56.920 you can't win a championship pretty much, no disrespect to 563 00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:58.240 the guy who's been a hell of a player. He's 564 00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:59.640 going to the Hall of Fame, got an MVP. But 565 00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:02.720 let's the guy doesn't win titles. He doesn't bring out 566 00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:05.559 the best in his teammates. He just doesn't. That doesn't 567 00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:06.880 mean he's not a good player, and he's not a 568 00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:10.279 passing savant and got good basketball like you. He's a 569 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:13.720 great scorer, and there's no doubt, but some guys we 570 00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:16.319 talked about that in factor, some guys don't make well. 571 00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:18.799 He may be better, he doesn't make everybody around him better. 572 00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:22.839 There's nothing you could have done that said, unless they 573 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:24.720 were going to give him away. You say bring him here, 574 00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:26.599 but I'm not sure it would have been good for 575 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:27.880 this team or for young players. 576 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:28.079 Eye. 577 00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:31.920 While he's a talented player, special talent, he does not 578 00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:35.599 make your teammates better. He just doesn't. So An you 579 00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:37.319 bring him here. If you want to bring him here, 580 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:39.799 go ahead, then assure yourself you're not winning a championship 581 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:42.359 for whatever. Oil Sewan, you don't think adding him with 582 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:46.400 Durant And you know, I'm just saying this current team, 583 00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:51.160 sure it's not even in question, but just saying hyperbolic obviously, 584 00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:54.200 And Shan Goon and Amen Tims, you don't think they're No, 585 00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:58.359 I actually don't. I actually think Fred van Vliet's better 586 00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:02.359 at that position for this team. Why distributor and well 587 00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.559 Harden can do it all. There's just a different feel 588 00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:06.960 about what a real teammate is. Does that make sense? 589 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.160 And hard and special talent, but he wasn't special at 590 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.279 elevating everybody around him. No, he is. Thank you. Just 591 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:19.079 to understand this, in my opinion, there's guys like that 592 00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:22.599 that are so talented. James Harden as a star. Now 593 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:24.079 he may go to a team, be the seventh man 594 00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:27.039 and win an NBA title. James Harden, when he is 595 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:29.440 the guy that's going to carry you, will not win 596 00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.519 an NBA title as the star of a team. He 597 00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:35.279 just won't. You could stick him. In a matter of fact, 598 00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:36.960 I'd be willing to bet you any amount of money 599 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:39.519 you want stick him in Oklahoma City right now for 600 00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:43.839 next year. They will not win the championship. They'll get worse. Well, 601 00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:45.319 he'll get bet because he's a good player and he 602 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.559 can score. He can like we talk about Kevin Durant. 603 00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:49.240 He can fall out of bed and score twenty eight 604 00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:52.400 thirty hard and can he can? Is that gifted? But 605 00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.240 just because you're that gifted doesn't mean you make everybody better. 606 00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:58.880 They go there, they're not one of the title too. 607 00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:01.279 And I'm just telling you they're not. And if they can't. 608 00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:03.440 If he came here, I believe it would have slowed 609 00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:06.680 down the process of getting to where they want to go. 610 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:09.279 HiT's a reason why they didn't do it and after 611 00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:11.200 he left. Sometimes you just got to say, listen, there's 612 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:14.240 been a good run. No, no grudge, not for us. 613 00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:17.920 I remember that's exactly right somewhere else. But I'm just 614 00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:20.160 going by history. We want to talk about back of cards. 615 00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:24.599 There's two things that are true. He'll score and you 616 00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:29.079 won't win a ring. I mean, in history tells you that. 617 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:32.960 And I'm only going what I know, and I mean, 618 00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.200 I'm this ain't made up stuff. He can score, he's 619 00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:39.400 a great offensive player. You're not going to win a title, 620 00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:41.039 and he's got no athing to show for it. And 621 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:42.759 you want me to name the teams he's been on 622 00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:44.680 or should we leave that one alone? No, I think 623 00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:45.279 we can look at it. 624 00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.279 Okay, a pretty good idea, right The basketball card is 625 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:50.880 is easy to find, but Google in the meantime will 626 00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:51.599 definitely how much you. 627 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.039 Want, how much you want to bet the Clippers aren't 628 00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:54.759 winning the NBA Championship next year. 629 00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.119 I don't have any argument, because I mean, I've never 630 00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:00.839 looked at them, and hey. 631 00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:02.839 No, disrespect a lot of great players there. I can 632 00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:04.920 say the same thing about quarterbacks. You can. You can 633 00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:06.960 go through right now and we could have over the 634 00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:09.839 course of time said it before, I never felt, you know, 635 00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:11.640 as much as his talent was like, he was a 636 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:13.680 talented guy, and I like him. I think he's funny 637 00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:16.119 as hell. When Jay Cutler was the guy like in 638 00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:19.160 Denver and went to Chicago, you knew you could, Oh, man, 639 00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:21.480 they're gonna they've got this throat. You're never winning one. 640 00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:26.359 There's something missing from talented is all get out smart, 641 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.599 smart ass, rip it, smoke a cigarette and throw a 642 00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:32.559 touchdown pass. No doubt you weren't winning one. And there's 643 00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:34.119 things that you can look at the current guys and 644 00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:35.559 go through. Man, that guy's a good play. He's not 645 00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:39.200 winning one. Well, that's a fact. And as good as 646 00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:41.680 Cousins has been numbers one, he's not winning one. It's 647 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:43.960 just not gonna happen as a starter. So there's certain 648 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.279 guys around the league that you just kind of know 649 00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:48.960 that they're really good put up numbers, but aren't. And 650 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:51.720 Hardens that guy win an MVP, but he'll leave the 651 00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:55.000 league unless he gets one as a backup or late 652 00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.799 in his career as a star. He will leave the 653 00:29:57.880 --> 00:29:59.559 NBA without a ring on his finger, at least an 654 00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:00.720 Nbahampionship ring. 655 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:02.920 Well, there's not a lot of people who disagree with you, 656 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.839 and the Rockets obviously like the way that they are 657 00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:09.079 going where you bring back Jabari Smith Junior, rumors that 658 00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:11.680 they could bring in Dorry and Finney Smith, who could 659 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.000 be somebody else that could be a good bench option 660 00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:17.039 for you, especially when you factor in that Jabbari and 661 00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:19.839 or Tari Eastern are gonna be kicked into the starting five. 662 00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:23.680 Absolutely, and so you got a good thing going here. 663 00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:25.319 Alls you're trying to do is add to it, not 664 00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:30.720 disrupt it. And every time I watch them make another move, 665 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:32.960 I start to trust that they get it. And I 666 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:35.119 mean I've always trusted, but even more so that not 667 00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:38.240 only do they get it, but they're with Udoka and 668 00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:42.680 with rafel Stone and the direction there's a page. I 669 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:44.640 think they probably challenge each other, which is a good thing. 670 00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:46.799 They're not all sitting on the same page all the time. 671 00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:48.279 You got to be able to battle over those things 672 00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:50.680 what's best for the team. I like that when you 673 00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:52.880 have guys like that. But when they get right down 674 00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.119 to it, they have roles defined now, and I think 675 00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:58.359 in the past we weren't sure. At times in the 676 00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.640 distant past that roles weren't defined but you bring in 677 00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:03.559 the right GM, you got the right cut, and I 678 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.119 thought Darryl Moorey did a really good job and Tad 679 00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:09.160 but they had some great they did, but unfortunately some 680 00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:10.680 of the play on the court and how you had 681 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:12.519 to do it and trying to go get stars didn't 682 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:14.920 work out so with that, but they've got it back 683 00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:16.880 to it now and I feel like they've got roles 684 00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:19.880 defined and they're making decisions, and their decisions are all 685 00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:21.720 based on what gives us the best chance to win, 686 00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:24.440 not having to kiss some stars ass because he's been 687 00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:27.039 in the city for a while and I like that. Now. 688 00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:31.240 It's definitely a plan being put to use over there 689 00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:33.680 with the Rockets, and it's going to be interesting to 690 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:36.519 see if the plan continues to evolve for them, which 691 00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:39.599 does seem like that is the case. But Rogers, do 692 00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:41.279 you want to get in on the Astros? Definitely do 693 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.640 want to get into some of that discussion, because we 694 00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:47.079 saw something over the weekend that I think tells you 695 00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:49.839 a lot of what to expect from this team. We'll 696 00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:52.240 discuss that here. It is a Sean Salisbury Show on 697 00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:56.759 a Monday Sports Talk seven to ninety. 698 00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.000 The Sean Salisbury Show continues. 699 00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:00.400 And it to know No. 700 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:01.039 Now, you know. 701 00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:07.440 There's a report out there from Bob Nightingale that Cedric 702 00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:11.359 Mullins of the Orioles is somebody at the Astros could 703 00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:14.799 possibly target left handed hitter, as we've heard Dana Brown 704 00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:18.400 talk about left handed bat outfield too, So that could 705 00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:21.640 fit another need for you left field, is what it 706 00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:24.720 seems like if they brought him here. But that's to 707 00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:27.400 your point where I'm getting to, because I don't need 708 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:28.440 a left fielder. 709 00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:31.599 And you don't need a center fielder right now either work. 710 00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:35.720 You don't need a right fielder either, So that's where 711 00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:37.559 I mean. I think if nothing else, it would be 712 00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:42.000 a bench move. But you know, to your point, I mean, 713 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:44.160 I've said it numerous times about hose A l two 714 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:49.200 va astecond base. I just I don't trust him defensively 715 00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.000 there to believe that that is the best lineup that 716 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.759 you can put out there. And I mean it seems 717 00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:57.240 like at least at times that Joe A. Spotta feels 718 00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.599 the same way. But Katie Bill, one of our brings 719 00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:02.920 up a good point here is he throws this out 720 00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:07.240 to me yesterday. Imagine this lineup with just Alvarez back 721 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.960 Painia leading off, Peretis l twov out and left, and 722 00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:16.200 Alvarez as the DH Smith and Wright ds catching walk 723 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:19.039 her over at first and then eight and nine. This 724 00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.160 gets me a little excited Myers and center with as 725 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.119 well as he swung the bat, even if he cools 726 00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:27.000 off a little bit, he's still performed above what you 727 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:29.440 expected out of him this year, and in Dubon at 728 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.039 second base, that's a solid one through nine that I 729 00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:33.440 really do feel I can make a run. 730 00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:35.519 Can you survive a season with al two v playing 731 00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:36.519 average second base? 732 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.240 If he plays average, then yes, But I just don't 733 00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:41.000 believe that he can play average second base. 734 00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:43.359 I think he's playing below average second base. I think 735 00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.759 I think that he definitely has the propensity to do that. Yes, 736 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:49.000 I do. Okay, so let me give you a lineup 737 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:51.920 that I thinks that may be better. This allows me 738 00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:54.599 to utilize Dubon wherever I can put the Hall of 739 00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:57.880 Fame if you want, If if Mullins becomes a factor, 740 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:00.240 let's just just for the hell of it. He's a 741 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:04.640 good player. Baltimore just hit this was Nobody saw this 742 00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:08.119 coming for the Orioles this year. No nobody. Now the 743 00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:10.400 question in Baltimore. Are you going to sell or you're 744 00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:12.599 gonna you got too many good young players? Consider it 745 00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.239 the aberration. And let's the if I if I was, 746 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.360 you know, I'm not. They're not looking for my advice. 747 00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:20.679 But you ain't. You ain't starting to jump ship with 748 00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:23.800 that great young town on that team. Now, Mullins, I get, 749 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:26.760 but you know the holidays and the you know from 750 00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:29.360 the catchers, I mean you're not. They've got three or 751 00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:32.199 four players that got dire I mean, well even more 752 00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:34.400 than that. They're young. They all look alike, all those 753 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.760 they look like they just walked off Tennessee and Vanderbilt campuses, right, 754 00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:42.320 But they're loaded. So let me ask this lineup. What 755 00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:48.360 about Paneline Novitch short hitting, you know, Paradus number two 756 00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:51.760 or whoever paratus to alt V. I don't care how 757 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.480 you do that. But al Twov's at second. Put him 758 00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:56.400 in his position. He's going to get inducted in the 759 00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:58.239 Hall of Fame at just just hear me out, Dubon. 760 00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:01.679 You're still using all over regardless of the batting. So 761 00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:03.480 in the three hole you got al two, they playing 762 00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:06.880 second base. Jordan comes back in Dhent and then you 763 00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:11.920 have the walker Yainer Diaz somewhere in that range five 764 00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:15.079 to six. Cam Smith right, so you got your right 765 00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.800 Jake Myers so rightfield, left field. However, they're going to 766 00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:19.800 work the lineup. What if I told you you put 767 00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.400 Mullins in left field and al two A at second, 768 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:25.639 That lineup's better than the one you gave me, especially 769 00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:27.679 when you add another left handed bat to it. Well. 770 00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.280 I mean, and Mullins is probably going to be traded 771 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.239 by Baltimore because he is a free agent next year. 772 00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:35.679 So I see that move there. Just Baltimore is not 773 00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:37.559 going to tear that thing apart. There's too many plays. 774 00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:40.639 Yeah, you're not going to see Adlie Rutchman or anybody 775 00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:42.119 traded away like that's that's. 776 00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:43.920 Not realizing because if you get rid of them, you 777 00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:45.360 got to go get young players dis like them. 778 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:47.800 But another guy that I mentioned, and I mean it's 779 00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:50.760 been pushed back on a little bit, but the recent 780 00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:53.480 last five or six starts out of Charlie Morton have 781 00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:55.800 been five six innings a piece out of him. 782 00:35:56.519 --> 00:35:59.960 Do you hate him Charlie Morton? I would absolutely take him, yes, 783 00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:03.039 for sure. Oh I think this city would welcome him. Yes, 784 00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:06.559 And I think he's comfortable here are you? What do 785 00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:08.760 you want more? Left handed bat, right handed pitcher, right 786 00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:09.440 handed pitcher? 787 00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:14.679 Because Saturday showed me that Saturday showed me that is 788 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:18.320 as good as Colton Gordon, which he wasn't the problem obviously, 789 00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:21.800 he pitched well on Friday. But Lance McCullers Junior, I mean, 790 00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:25.280 it's twofold with him his performances like that that can happen. 791 00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:27.039 And it's also the injury thing. 792 00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:29.280 I mean, as much as I love the guy, as 793 00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:30.679 much as I want to see him pitch, and as 794 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:33.199 much as I hope that he is successful every time 795 00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:33.679 he's out. 796 00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:35.599 There on the mound, I just don't know who I'm 797 00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:37.519 going to get. This has nothing to do for me 798 00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:40.360 with whether I like the guy. I want him successful 799 00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:41.920 because I want him successful. I like him with that, 800 00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:43.880 we don't even need to qualify that you're one hundred 801 00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:46.480 percent crack. I want to see him kick ass. But 802 00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:48.519 when I'm watching him this year, it feels to me 803 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.320 that there's not a And I think the one start 804 00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:53.679 he grinded it out, scattered some hits and hung in there, 805 00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:57.480 but it's a when he's going good. And I guess 806 00:36:57.519 --> 00:36:59.559 you can say this about a lot. But like for instance, 807 00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:01.920 Fromber's got to the point, even if he's not dominating you, 808 00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:04.800 we've seen it a couple starts. He'll hang in for 809 00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:06.960 six and two thirds or six and a third and 810 00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:09.159 scatter some hits and grind through it and give you 811 00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:10.960 an average performance, but a chance to still win an 812 00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:14.559 average performance based on how good he is. But those 813 00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:18.760 barahmas with Lance right now, And I know, but I 814 00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:21.599 can't judge him because he's been hurt in the path 815 00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:23.800 and talk about the arm, because if you're running him 816 00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:26.480 out there and starting him, then he's healthy. So I 817 00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:29.159 can't say, yeah, but he's still it's first, it's eighty 818 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.079 his first eighty games back since better. I can't look 819 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:32.800 at it like that. If you're running him out there, 820 00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:34.599 I judge him like he's a top five, like he's 821 00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:37.800 one of my five starters. For me, it looks a 822 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.239 bit like did he When he's going good, he'll get 823 00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.559 you twelve strikeouts, You're like, damn, he's back. And then 824 00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.280 when he's going bad, you're like, he can't get anybody 825 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:50.239 out the happy medium where he can grind through a 826 00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:52.119 bad And when I say this, I don't think he 827 00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:54.719 mentally thinks this, But when he's out front and things 828 00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:58.440 are going well early, you're looking good, I think he 829 00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:00.199 has a little bit of trouble at least maybe And 830 00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:01.599 I don't even know if the metrics point out, but 831 00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:04.880 from watching his starts this year, I almost feel like 832 00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:07.119 when he's getting when when the ball stays on the 833 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:10.199 same plane, the speeds are not you know that everything's changed, 834 00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:12.679 and there's not a lot of change in much that 835 00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:15.599 he's doing now. Most would get raked. But I don't 836 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:18.800 know if right now he knows how to give you 837 00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:21.960 a performance. It's average but hang in there. That not 838 00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:24.199 not mentally or that he's not tough enough, but it's 839 00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:27.880 either it's it's almost a well, it's almost like a golfer. 840 00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:30.840 You're either hitting making birdies or double bogies right, You're 841 00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:32.800 not making a lot of pars in between. Sure, And 842 00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:34.599 I feel like that with him, that he's got the 843 00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:36.280 ability to go out there and say, damn this, throw 844 00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:38.320 a no hitter, then he's also got the ability to 845 00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:40.960 not get out of the second inning. And and instead 846 00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:42.679 of where it's like okay, if you walk three in 847 00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:44.639 the first inning, stick with him. He'll grind it out 848 00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:47.960 I'll see in five and two thirds. Maybe I'm wrong, 849 00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:50.400 but it just feels like that to me. So and 850 00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:52.519 I understand your trust factor in him, because I don't 851 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.239 think that they probably are. Well. Yeah, he's a no brainer, 852 00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:58.400 single elimination right now. And it's Lance mc colors and 853 00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:01.079 you got it, and it's his start, his turn, and 854 00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:03.840 it's Lance mccullors or. Pick one of the other guys, 855 00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:05.599 not one of the starters. Pick you pick one that 856 00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:07.880 you like. You said, not one of the starters, not 857 00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:10.039 not one of not from ber Hunter Brown. Okay, give 858 00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:11.639 me and give me another one that you like. Do 859 00:39:11.719 --> 00:39:13.639 you trust the most out of the other ones, I said, 860 00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:17.760 Colton Gordon. It was Brandon Walter on Friday. Okay, Walter 861 00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:22.559 mccullor's game on the line right now, Walter today, Now, yeah, 862 00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:26.159 the way passed. You almost have to write. Yeah, So 863 00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:28.760 that that that's where the decisions they're gonna have to make. 864 00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:30.599 And I hope we're I hope Lance gets in this 865 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:32.960 where the keeps growing and growing and thanks change and 866 00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:35.400 he's dominant because when he's good, dude, the guy is 867 00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:37.280 as good as stuff as anybody on the staff. As 868 00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:39.960 we know that. But that that's something I have to make. 869 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:42.440 But look at this, we're complaining. You're talking about going 870 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:44.760 and get Charlie Morton, and we're talking about the possibility 871 00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:47.679 of going and getting Mulleins, And what is the platoon? Guys? 872 00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:49.360 Are you going to start him and move to bond 873 00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:51.119 back to platoon and put more jose Al to bad 874 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:54.360 second base? Whatever that is? And they're fifteen and thirty four, 875 00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:59.800 and that of course is valid. So do you need 876 00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:01.719 and you wouldn't. I don't know how much you had 877 00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:04.960 with waste pitching. Probably more, but you had Charlie Moore too, 878 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.079 who wouldn't want Charlie Morton had to especially the way 879 00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:08.679 he's going. What are you gonna have to give up? 880 00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:11.239 That's the thing you have to decide. I wouldn't imagine 881 00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:12.960 it's a lot where Charlie is in his life, but 882 00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:14.639 probably more than you thought you'd have to give up 883 00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:16.880 with the ways pitching. Well, I mean, is his name 884 00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:17.840 being mentioned anywhere? 885 00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:20.400 I haven't seen it anywhere, But if bombed the Orioles, 886 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.440 I absolutely would because I mean for Mullen, I think 887 00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:26.159 you're probably going to let him walk after this season, 888 00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:28.760 So I mean, how much of a price tag is 889 00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:30.880 that for him? I understand that that kind of feeds 890 00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:33.960 into all of this, but I just believe that your 891 00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:39.920 priority is a back into the rotation guy. You can 892 00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:42.159 win with great pitching and average hitting. You can't win 893 00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:45.079 with average pitching and great hitting. Bingo, yeah, bingo. And 894 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:49.000 is you know, look as good as Brandon Walter has been. 895 00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.760 He's been fantastic for you. Colton Gordon the same deal, 896 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:53.760 and then you throw in them the Colors factor here, 897 00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:57.119 I really feel like you can only go two out 898 00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:59.679 of those three the rest of the way. 899 00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:02.559 I mean you probably you're going to continue to run 900 00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:04.079 him out there, I think for now, But when do 901 00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:07.599 you make the decision? Starter Bullpen give you one or two? 902 00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:11.039 And from mccolors, I'm talking about I don't know. And 903 00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:13.360 maybe we're just because of one performance we're getting out 904 00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:15.440 in front of ourselves. But it's something you're gonna have 905 00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:17.840 to address because when the trade deadline comes, it becomes. 906 00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:20.239 Real well, and then it's you know, the Irraghetti factor. 907 00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:22.800 What is Christian hobby Er give you? 908 00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:28.199 Garcia?

The question is like stretching him out, 914 00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.280 But I can't imagine it's going to take three months 915 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:48.880 to do that, hopefully not.

Could they be energized 1078 00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:15.679 after the trade deadline? 1079 00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:19.079 Good morning Roger, Good morning Jans. 1080 00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:19.639 No. 1081 00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:24.719 I just think this picture it was grossly overchewed. They 1082 00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:28.480 need to be rewarded, and I'm not sure Cedric knows 1083 00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:30.480 is a guy you need to be rewarded with. It 1084 00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:33.280 looks like he got two ten hitter give a slapping. 1085 00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:36.320 He can play a couple of positions, But you want 1086 00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:38.039 a guy with the stick man. You want to make 1087 00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:39.760 a trade don't make a trade for the for the 1088 00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:42.280 sake of making a trade. You know, let's make one. 1089 00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:46.480 You're gonna make a trade, guys, you know, get him rewarded. Man, 1090 00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:49.880 these guys have been busting it, you know, and uh, 1091 00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:52.599 you know, as for all for all mccollor's as good 1092 00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:57.719 intentions too is by the way, I think you man 1093 00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:01.800 gets down to it only because simply because you waste 1094 00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:05.719 too many pops. He's just waste too many take pictures 1095 00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:08.320 at this point. And I just think next year, when 1096 00:50:08.360 --> 00:50:10.239 he gets very wrapped up and he gets a whole 1097 00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:14.800 season to to do it, then then we'll we'll look 1098 00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:17.039 at him then. I just I just think that he's 1099 00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:19.599 better served than the bullpen this year. We you know, 1100 00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:21.800 thank god, we have a surplus of vice that came 1101 00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:26.440 out of freaking nowhere. But you know, you got these opportunities, 1102 00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:29.320 I think. And yeah, guys, like I said that, mothers, 1103 00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:31.760 you know you need to just you know, look bad. 1104 00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:33.679 I don't know how how the sauce is gonna be made. 1105 00:50:33.719 --> 00:50:35.320 I don't want to know, but I just want to know. 1106 00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:39.320 I just I just know that these guys need a stick. 1107 00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:41.920 And I'm not sure Yourdon's coming back to be the 1108 00:50:42.039 --> 00:50:44.880 Orda on the heat. Nobody really knows somebody on and 1109 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:46.840 you can't really hang your hopes on that he's gonna 1110 00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:50.519 come back. He's gonna be Yeah, just you just need 1111 00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:53.440 to need to uh, you know, this ship the way 1112 00:50:53.480 --> 00:50:57.039 you've been doing it, and and you know, don't don't 1113 00:50:57.239 --> 00:50:59.719 you know, don't wait for making a good move. Man, 1114 00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:00.599 let's see it. 1115 00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:05.760 I appreciate it, Roger. I mean, I count on Jordon 1116 00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:08.559 when he's ready to come back. I mean, you know, 1117 00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:11.280 it's something that we can continue after the steakout too. 1118 00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:14.079 But I mean Dana Brown with some interesting things on that. 1119 00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:16.000 As a matter of fact, let's do that. Uh, the 1120 00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:19.760 Steakout's coming up, and then after that bottom of this hour, 1121 00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:21.719 let you hear a little bit from Dana Brown because 1122 00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:25.840 an encouraging update on Jordon yesterday and maybe back sooner 1123 00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:26.679 rather than later. 1124 00:51:26.719 --> 00:51:27.719 We'll let you hear all of that. 1125 00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:32.400 But coming up next, a historic franchise the final time, 1126 00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:34.760 Well we can talk about it here. It is a 1127 00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.840 Sean Salisbury Show on a Monday Sports Talk seven ninety. 1128 00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:42.719 Listen to emotionally tied to the team. 1129 00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:44.880 The Sean Salisbury Show continues. 1130 00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:45.840 Hi, let's go. 1131 00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:53.119 All right, Sean, what are you hearing out there now? 1132 00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:58.000 The Salisbury's takeout Salisbury Takeout on. 1133 00:51:57.840 --> 00:51:59.840 The Sean Salisbury Show. 1134 00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:03.880 On a Monday here on your home of the Astros 1135 00:52:03.880 --> 00:52:06.960 and the Rockets Sports Talk seven ninety, both of those 1136 00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:10.599 organizations in the news because the Astros beat the Cubs 1137 00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:13.599 to nothing take two out of three from them over 1138 00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:16.599 at dik And Park on the weekend, and Jabari Smith 1139 00:52:16.679 --> 00:52:18.800 Junior extended on a five year, one hundred and twenty 1140 00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:23.719 two million dollar deal. According to reports, Top Gun Sean, 1141 00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:27.199 we got the return of Maverick a couple of years ago. 1142 00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:29.760 That was like kind of our first return back to 1143 00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:34.000 movie theaters, I feel like, because COVID obviously movie theaters 1144 00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:36.079 weren't open all that kind of stuff, and took a 1145 00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:38.519 little bit of time to get back because things were 1146 00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:42.199 being released earlier on streams. So people were just like, well, 1147 00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:44.079 I'll skip out on doing that and I'll just do 1148 00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:46.119 all the good stuff, you know, good things at my house. 1149 00:52:46.760 --> 00:52:49.199 And that was the first time I feel like when 1150 00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:51.400 we all said, okay, fine, you know what, I'll go 1151 00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:55.480 back to the theaters again. Top Gun three is a go. 1152 00:52:56.280 --> 00:53:00.320 According to director Joseph Kazinski. He was on or He 1153 00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:03.800 talked to GQ magazine and he said, I think we 1154 00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:05.960 found a way to do it, not only the scale 1155 00:53:06.039 --> 00:53:09.079 of what we're proposing, but the idea of self, of 1156 00:53:09.320 --> 00:53:14.239 the story we're telling, and synesthetic adding. 1157 00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:15.119 To it with a tweet. 1158 00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:20.719 Top Gun three will explore Maverick confronting an essential crisis. 1159 00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:25.800 There's one last ride for Maverick. I think that does 1160 00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:27.920 that what is going to be called Maverick One last ride? 1161 00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:29.320 I think so? Yeah. 1162 00:53:29.840 --> 00:53:33.000 See, and and part of me with that you would say, 1163 00:53:33.280 --> 00:53:34.639 you know, oh, it's just gonna be Maverick. 1164 00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:37.880 You know, he'll they'll go on it on a dangerous mission, 1165 00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:41.320 just like he and and time are we talking about 1166 00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:43.440 when they say that that we're going to be fighting 1167 00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:45.920 zombies or something. I don't think they'll be fighting zombies. 1168 00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:48.440 I mean I would think that probably with the current, 1169 00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:51.320 you know, situation we have in the Middle East. I mean, 1170 00:53:51.639 --> 00:53:54.039 I'm trying to remember, was it the Russians that they 1171 00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:56.639 were going after and in Top Gun two where they 1172 00:53:56.679 --> 00:54:00.000 had to, you know, do the really dangerous pull up 1173 00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:01.280 up with tons. 1174 00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:04.039 Of well, when somebody dropped the bomb to clear it 1175 00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:06.960 out and another one comes by and drops the right. Yeah, 1176 00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:09.360 you gotta and then you gotta climb because you run 1177 00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:12.760 into the mat. Yeah, it was it in the hills somewhere, 1178 00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:15.159 and yeah, I think you might be right. So I 1179 00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:16.920 don't know who the opponent will be here, But that's good. 1180 00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:17.840 That's first I've heard of it. 1181 00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:20.079 I was going to say, I think you've got to 1182 00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:23.519 go some sort of Mid East dictatorship or something. 1183 00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:25.519 Let's go then you don't have to go that far. 1184 00:54:25.639 --> 00:54:30.360 Just go to New York City and battle that bear, okay, 1185 00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:35.159 or that they not yet yet, the the the there 1186 00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:38.440 hopeful for one party. Yeah, go there, because you don't 1187 00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:40.480 even have to go overseas to find it because he's 1188 00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:42.800 going to turn it into and what do you have 1189 00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:44.480 to go chase down? So good luck. 1190 00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:47.400 I think in this case. I think in this case 1191 00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:51.119 we we will have a different enemy. But at least 1192 00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:53.320 at first when I saw this, I said, oh, no, 1193 00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:54.599 they're gonna kill off Maverick. 1194 00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:56.239 That's that's how they kill you. 1195 00:54:57.679 --> 00:55:00.760 I mean, I would think that if you didn't already 1196 00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:04.559 have the storyline of there's one Last Ride, then you 1197 00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:07.960 know you probably could because then if nothing else, you 1198 00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:10.400 could at least have the franchise go to Miles Teller 1199 00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:13.639 and he's like the next step of Top Gun. He 1200 00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:18.559 becomes Pete Mitchell himself, and then Bill Pullman's son, you know, 1201 00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:21.679 Glenn Powell, whoever else you know, they're they're all part 1202 00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:25.400 of it. But in this case right here with Cruz, 1203 00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:27.360 you know, I'm almost wondering if it's final. 1204 00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:28.639 Do you think give me the right hander? 1205 00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:32.280 I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I think they 1206 00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:34.159 will have like a passing of the torch, Like I 1207 00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:37.239 don't think I think the current incarnation of Top Gun 1208 00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:40.480 it will be. But Miles Teller is just getting going 1209 00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:44.000 and he did a really good job. And Top Maverick. 1210 00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:47.159 Yeah, and dude, the franchise is printing money, So why 1211 00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:49.760 end it? I wouldn't. I mean, if you can find 1212 00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:52.199 ways to keep I mean, like fast Interfear, say, just 1213 00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:55.519 keep finding ways to new vehicles and new fights and 1214 00:55:55.519 --> 00:55:57.519 the rest of it. If you can find somebody who's 1215 00:55:57.519 --> 00:56:01.559 got the same swagger that Cruz has is Maverick, and 1216 00:56:01.719 --> 00:56:03.920 you can make it and you feel good about it, 1217 00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:07.559 just the name alone, this the you know, this the 1218 00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:10.400 the whole franchise, Prince Money. So I doubt it'll be 1219 00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:12.880 the last one, but the last one with Cruise obviously. Well, 1220 00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:16.639 but I mean, look at what Rocky has done where 1221 00:56:17.039 --> 00:56:19.519 you know, Stallan is like, I can't get in the 1222 00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:22.079 ring anymore. Guys, you can't do that to me, right, 1223 00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:25.199 you know, I'm busy running a family in Tulsa, right, 1224 00:56:25.280 --> 00:56:25.880 which I did. 1225 00:56:26.079 --> 00:56:28.159 I did finish both of those seasons. A great show. 1226 00:56:28.280 --> 00:56:32.840 It's underrated show. Yeah, I'm the King. I finished watching 1227 00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:34.840 this this weekend. I love the one guy tries to 1228 00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:39.840 rob them at the casino and his buddy Goodie goes, 1229 00:56:39.920 --> 00:56:40.639 where are you gonna go? 1230 00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:41.320 Mars? 1231 00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:43.760 Exactly? What a great show? 1232 00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:44.000 Right? 1233 00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:47.199 It really is really, really really good show. But yeah, 1234 00:56:47.239 --> 00:56:49.519 well that's good. Note news, And when do we have 1235 00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:51.440 released twenty eight or something. 1236 00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:54.519 I have not seen a release date for Top Gun three, 1237 00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:57.760 but at least that the idea is. 1238 00:56:57.679 --> 00:56:59.599 In the works, strip down and get ing rolling and 1239 00:56:59.840 --> 00:57:00.800 it will be done. 1240 00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:06.159 And Maverick stars expected to be on board for this one, 1241 00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:09.920 so that's of course, Miles Teller, Glenn Powell. They are 1242 00:57:09.960 --> 00:57:14.440 expected to return for the third film, and Cruz could 1243 00:57:14.519 --> 00:57:17.480 very well pass on the Top Gun legacy to the 1244 00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:18.119 next generation. 1245 00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:20.360 So there you go, that's what it is. He'll come back. 1246 00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:24.400 This time it will be he and Jennifer Conley running 1247 00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:27.800 off and and you know, because it did kind of 1248 00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:30.079 lead you to believe that it was like, all right, 1249 00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:33.639 that's it. You know, good job, Pete. If you finished 1250 00:57:33.639 --> 00:57:36.440 the job, you got back to the aircraft carrier not 1251 00:57:36.519 --> 00:57:39.199 named after camp Smith, but an aircraft carrier, and then 1252 00:57:39.239 --> 00:57:40.880 you got back to Kell. 1253 00:57:41.079 --> 00:57:44.880 You know, you know Jennifer Conley, Right, Yeah, it's time 1254 00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:47.840 for those two to go live happily ever after and 1255 00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:51.079 maybe have a baby. At this point, I would probably 1256 00:57:51.079 --> 00:57:56.719 say that's out the window.

So that's 1292 00:59:39.480 --> 00:59:42.320 why I love I forget was it sixty minutes or somebody. 1293 00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:44.559 The guy that was up in the helicopter with him 1294 00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:47.719 and he, you know, cruise gets out onto the the 1295 00:59:48.000 --> 00:59:50.559 the I guess landing gear whatever you want to call 1296 00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:53.960 it you're talking about. It was for the new mission impossible. 1297 00:59:54.360 --> 00:59:56.239 And you know, he thought he's moving. He's got the 1298 00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:59.559 microphone on and he's got his his jump pack on 1299 01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:03.159 and he asked. The guy goes, you're coming. He goes, 1300 01:00:03.199 --> 01:00:05.639 not on your life. He goes, all right, see you 1301 01:00:05.719 --> 01:00:07.559 down there.

He does his own he 1303 01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:13.199 uh knew. 1304 01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:15.880 It was when James Corden was still likable, which we 1305 01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:18.639 found out pretty quickly that he wasn't. Uh, but when 1306 01:00:18.679 --> 01:00:21.599 he happened, well you found out what an absolute just 1307 01:00:21.719 --> 01:00:25.320 you know, toothy Jerky was. So once once you found 1308 01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:27.480 that out, you were like, all right, you. 1309 01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:28.960 Know that because you had him. He was just a 1310 01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:32.000 fun loving guy, right. See, when you find out nothing 1311 01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:32.639 like that, right. 1312 01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:35.440 It's people like that that that you think he's a 1313 01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:39.519 wolf in clothing saying yeah, because I mean I think 1314 01:00:39.519 --> 01:00:42.400 it's it's one of those that they show, they show 1315 01:00:42.480 --> 01:00:45.840 certain people that side, and it's it's more or less 1316 01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:51.159 just to fool them, right. I mean, it worked out 1317 01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:53.239 well for him, and then soon enough it didn't because 1318 01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:56.119 then the networks were like, well, you know that that 1319 01:00:56.239 --> 01:00:58.199 ruse is kind of gone. We can't really put him 1320 01:00:58.199 --> 01:01:00.519 back out there. Oh he's a fun loving gen Gordon. 1321 01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:01.360 No, he's not. 1322 01:01:01.719 --> 01:01:05.199 He treats servers like garbage, and he treats people like garbage. 1323 01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:08.280 So he kind of went away, didn't he. Yeah, look, 1324 01:01:08.559 --> 01:01:11.679 I'm finny, not hard to treat people kindly, not hard. 1325 01:01:11.880 --> 01:01:14.079 See, And that's what I always tell people is you 1326 01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:15.880 know they see people like that, Oh that's the way 1327 01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:17.760 I gotta be. I go, you're looking at it the 1328 01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:21.360 wrong way. That's a short win right there. To be 1329 01:01:21.440 --> 01:01:23.760 that way is to fool people, to do all of that, 1330 01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:27.039 because soon enough the true nature comes out and people 1331 01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:29.159 know exactly who you are, and then you don't get 1332 01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:33.519 opportunities anymore because they're like, yeah, you fooled me long enough, you. 1333 01:01:33.880 --> 01:01:38.360 A lot more effort to be an idiot. Too much work, man, consistency, 1334 01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:40.079 even if you want it, it's just too much work. 1335 01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:41.960 Well, it's just exactly that. I mean, why why do 1336 01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:45.559 you want to It's not this cat no, no, me neither. 1337 01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:48.760 But anyway, Top Gun three it will ride great news. 1338 01:01:48.800 --> 01:01:51.320 I'm excited. I'm sure it'll be good because in truth, 1339 01:01:52.039 --> 01:01:54.280 if you really want, there's a handful actors. If you 1340 01:01:54.280 --> 01:01:56.000 say you want the movie to make money, m hm, 1341 01:01:56.400 --> 01:01:59.119 Cruise is one of them. He just is right, doesn't 1342 01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:01.480 matter if it's a mission possible franchise, doesn't matter if 1343 01:02:01.480 --> 01:02:04.760 it's a Top Gun franchise. Whatever did the Jack reach 1344 01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:08.400 a franchise? You know? With with with that whatever Cruise 1345 01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:12.760 gets involved in. In truth, he's a money maker. He 1346 01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:13.199 just is. 1347 01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:16.480 TV show Jack Reacher is more in line with the 1348 01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:17.679 book character than. 1349 01:02:17.599 --> 01:02:20.599 The physical the physical appearance. Yet he still can sell 1350 01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:22.840 those movies still, you know what I'm saying, The Cruise can. 1351 01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:25.639 So yeah, make no mistake, whether you think it's the 1352 01:02:25.639 --> 01:02:28.360 best one or not, it will print money because it's 1353 01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:31.440 that fine franchise and Cruise is involved.

Dana Brown talking about if that 1430 01:06:13.960 --> 01:06:16.920 means we are even one step closer to Jordan coming 1431 01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:17.480 back soon. 1432 01:06:18.239 --> 01:06:22.000 Yeah, So Jordin, you know, outstanding today on the field, 1433 01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:26.199 you know, no discomfort or pain afterwards, feeling really good. 1434 01:06:26.559 --> 01:06:29.119 Gonna hop on a flight later today, go down to 1435 01:06:29.280 --> 01:06:32.400 West Palm and you know, look, he's gonna hit live. 1436 01:06:32.599 --> 01:06:34.880 He's gonna hit live off live pitcher. 1437 01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:38.519 You know, he'll probably face you know, Javier while he's 1438 01:06:38.559 --> 01:06:41.079 down there, maybe Garcia and some of our other guys 1439 01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:43.920 that are down there throwing lives. He's gonna get a 1440 01:06:44.000 --> 01:06:47.119 chance to face some major league pictures and then we'll 1441 01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:50.280 evaluate him after that, you know, as too is it 1442 01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:53.679 gonna be, sugarman? Do we feel like we can expedite 1443 01:06:53.719 --> 01:06:57.679 this thing and bring up to la you know, which 1444 01:06:57.719 --> 01:07:02.000 is not the most likely scenario. But we're not, you know, 1445 01:07:02.639 --> 01:07:04.599 putting that aside. We're just going to take a look. 1446 01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:06.559 But we need to get him down there and have 1447 01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:08.000 him start to hit some. 1448 01:07:08.039 --> 01:07:11.639 Lives, all right, So get him down there, start hitting. 1449 01:07:11.880 --> 01:07:15.920 Gotta believe probably each day, four five at bats, whatever 1450 01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:17.760 it is, just to try to get him ramped up 1451 01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:19.920 and try to get him back. But the other question 1452 01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:21.920 I have about all this, Sean, is I understand he'd 1453 01:07:21.960 --> 01:07:26.159 been doing baseball activities, running, throwing, fielding out there in 1454 01:07:26.239 --> 01:07:29.280 left field, all of those different things. He hasn't played 1455 01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:33.400 now in over two months. I mean, I think, what's 1456 01:07:33.440 --> 01:07:38.400 it this? This Wednesday will be two months since he's 1457 01:07:38.440 --> 01:07:40.639 been on the field. That's a lot of time away. 1458 01:07:40.840 --> 01:07:42.880 How much working out has he even been able to do, 1459 01:07:43.559 --> 01:07:45.559 being able to get into the weight room and do 1460 01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:47.840 those things and everything else that goes. 1461 01:07:47.840 --> 01:07:50.000 Well, I can't imagine he does in a whole lot 1462 01:07:50.039 --> 01:07:53.760 of freeways hanging off with the wrist, that area of 1463 01:07:53.760 --> 01:08:00.599 the hand to me that you know, whether it's movement 1464 01:08:00.599 --> 01:08:03.679 where you don't have you know, listen, we're in a 1465 01:08:03.760 --> 01:08:06.280 time now. With the expertise and all the training you have, 1466 01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:10.000 you can get stronger by doing a lot of work 1467 01:08:10.119 --> 01:08:14.159 without actually gripping a weight or you know, you put 1468 01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:15.920 the things on your wrist, whatever it is. I would 1469 01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:20.760 imagine plenty. But because you have a sore hand or 1470 01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:24.319 a fracture or you know your your your that's hurting 1471 01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:26.720 and you're out a couple of months, your legs are fine, 1472 01:08:27.439 --> 01:08:29.800 I would imagine treadmill and running and getting himself. I 1473 01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:33.319 can't put it this way. There should be zero excuse. 1474 01:08:34.239 --> 01:08:35.920 And he's a d H. So it's not like if 1475 01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:38.920 we're running marathons and he's a four by four hundred 1476 01:08:38.960 --> 01:08:42.880 meter you know, Reley guy, or we're asking him to 1477 01:08:42.880 --> 01:08:45.359 go out and you know, win marathons and stuff like that. 1478 01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:47.800 And to Kathleen, we're asking to be in shape enough 1479 01:08:47.800 --> 01:08:49.720 to swing the bat and that his lower halves in shape, 1480 01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:52.079 and that is that he's healthy and healed with his hand. 1481 01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:55.119 So as far as staying in the cardio conditioning that 1482 01:08:55.359 --> 01:08:59.560 takes uh, I mean it's not exactly. You know, like 1483 01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:02.079 I said, you're not playing wherever eight seconds you're playing 1484 01:09:02.119 --> 01:09:04.640 another down or playing fast in a football game. In 1485 01:09:04.680 --> 01:09:07.199 college football, he'll have time to rest to do his thing. 1486 01:09:07.239 --> 01:09:09.479 But strength wise, there's a lot of ways you can 1487 01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:12.920 get stronger without having to actually grip a weight. And 1488 01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:14.720 I think that those guys are a lot smarter than 1489 01:09:14.720 --> 01:09:17.319 me at it. But just from my vantage point, being 1490 01:09:17.319 --> 01:09:18.840 out of shape should not be a problem. He should 1491 01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:21.119 actually being good because in truth, when the season's going on, 1492 01:09:21.279 --> 01:09:23.760 you ain't doing a lot of running. Dude, you're swinging 1493 01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:25.399 a bat, going to the next city, swinging a bat, 1494 01:09:25.399 --> 01:09:27.239 going the next city, playing some left field, and then 1495 01:09:27.359 --> 01:09:30.680 like you're doing a whole lot of work. That's your maintaining. 1496 01:09:31.199 --> 01:09:33.960 He should actually be in better shape now. He went 1497 01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:35.920 through spring, came in now he's had too much to 1498 01:09:36.319 --> 01:09:39.039 cardio do it all, where everything he's done has been 1499 01:09:39.079 --> 01:09:42.920 about getting healthy and staying in condition. So he should 1500 01:09:42.960 --> 01:09:45.439 actually be in because listen, if you're playing it honestly, 1501 01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:49.039 other than Catcher, if you're the first baseman, how much 1502 01:09:49.079 --> 01:09:50.960 cardi you work out, you're probably getting your lifts in 1503 01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:56.000 between to stay to maintain you're not your body can't. 1504 01:09:56.039 --> 01:09:58.279 I mean just on hundred six two games, you're not 1505 01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:00.479 out there, you know, in your days off going out 1506 01:10:00.479 --> 01:10:03.840 there and running intervals, you're getting some rest. So I 1507 01:10:03.840 --> 01:10:06.960 would imagine he's in better condition because of the fact 1508 01:10:07.000 --> 01:10:09.840 he's had time off and realizes he's you can only 1509 01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:11.399 hit for so long a day, so what else am 1510 01:10:11.399 --> 01:10:12.600 I gonna do the rest of the day. I got 1511 01:10:12.600 --> 01:10:14.199 to keep my body in shape. It can work the 1512 01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:16.960 exercise the lower half, the core that core ain't getting 1513 01:10:16.920 --> 01:10:18.239 in the way of in that hand's not getting a 1514 01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:21.479 way of any core work. So that, to me, that's 1515 01:10:21.479 --> 01:10:24.319 no excuse now is timing of hitting, of course, But 1516 01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:26.720 when it comes to the cardio or the quick twitch 1517 01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:30.239 or him being in shape, he actually has a too 1518 01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:34.800 much extended training because spring training. I know he played some, 1519 01:10:34.920 --> 01:10:37.039 but you get my point is that he's had two 1520 01:10:37.039 --> 01:10:39.560 extra months now to focus on his body and get 1521 01:10:39.560 --> 01:10:42.560 it right without having to travel and do it all. 1522 01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:44.399 This should be not this is not a problem. If 1523 01:10:44.399 --> 01:10:46.920 we were talking boxing, I'd have a different answer for you. 1524 01:10:47.159 --> 01:10:50.479 Even then, though, why you able to punch? Your body 1525 01:10:50.520 --> 01:10:53.359 should still be in condition. And you also know mentally 1526 01:10:53.399 --> 01:10:56.079 that I can't get too comfortable and say, oh, I'm 1527 01:10:56.119 --> 01:10:58.239 a baseball player, I'm a dh I don't have to stay. 1528 01:10:58.319 --> 01:11:00.560 Of course he does, because his lower half is powerful 1529 01:11:00.760 --> 01:11:02.800 and he's always in the dude looks like he could 1530 01:11:02.840 --> 01:11:04.880 run forever. He's always been in good shape, so I 1531 01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:06.880 would imagine he's taking it pretty serious. It's just a 1532 01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:09.079 simple timing and grip of the bat and how much 1533 01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:10.800 that hurts. As far as his lower half in core. 1534 01:11:11.159 --> 01:11:13.000 He should not be one day out of shape because 1535 01:11:13.000 --> 01:11:16.079 baseball is not exactly during the season. It's the grind 1536 01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:19.000 and the mental grind. It's not exactly training your ass 1537 01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:20.640 off to get ready for a triathlon. 1538 01:11:20.960 --> 01:11:24.439 It's just the time off and the timing as well well. 1539 01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:26.760 And it's that, but it's also how close you are 1540 01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:29.199 to the All Star break that I mean, it's just 1541 01:11:29.319 --> 01:11:32.560 what's another week at this point, Like, what's what's another 1542 01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:35.640 week to get him those at bats, even if it's 1543 01:11:36.039 --> 01:11:39.279 as Danny even mentioned in Sugarland or whatever it is, 1544 01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:41.159 which frankly, I'd want to just keep him there in 1545 01:11:41.159 --> 01:11:43.199 West Palm Beach, have him go through a little bit 1546 01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:45.119 more work there during the All Star break. So as 1547 01:11:45.119 --> 01:11:47.920 soon as that Friday hits, okay, weull go. There's no 1548 01:11:47.960 --> 01:11:49.600 way he You're seeing him before the All Star Game. 1549 01:11:50.199 --> 01:11:53.439 I have to tell you tomorrow's July first. So let's 1550 01:11:53.520 --> 01:11:54.199 let's do the math. 1551 01:11:54.920 --> 01:11:56.479 If he's down in West Palm, he ain't gonna be 1552 01:11:56.520 --> 01:11:58.680 down in West Palm for a day, right, wouldn't you 1553 01:11:58.680 --> 01:12:01.840 think they're gonna want to fly bats? Come back the 1554 01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:03.760 next day? Like it's a three game series and like, 1555 01:12:04.159 --> 01:12:06.119 and let's see how you recover. You heard Dan say, well, 1556 01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:07.720 see how your response to it. He has any pain, 1557 01:12:07.840 --> 01:12:09.680 Let's say I response to it, now live pitching and 1558 01:12:09.720 --> 01:12:11.760 doing it. So let's say you do that for a week. 1559 01:12:11.880 --> 01:12:14.560 Let's I don't even know what the protocol is for this, 1560 01:12:15.720 --> 01:12:18.199 but let's say it's a week, and now you come back. 1561 01:12:19.000 --> 01:12:21.479 The only way he's here. Also, if he walks out 1562 01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:22.720 of that week and they say let's go, and they 1563 01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:25.399 don't send him to Sugarland, they want to expedite the process, 1564 01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:27.239 and they put him on a major league roster. But 1565 01:12:27.600 --> 01:12:29.920 even then, if it's a week, maybe it's two weeks 1566 01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:32.399 or ten days, he comes If he has to go 1567 01:12:32.439 --> 01:12:35.159 to Sugarland, there's no way. But if he has to, 1568 01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:36.720 if he comes back and does it, so that would 1569 01:12:36.760 --> 01:12:38.760 take us the fourth to the eleventh. You said the 1570 01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:41.319 Ulstar breaks in seventeenth or sixteenth, somewhere in that range. 1571 01:12:41.439 --> 01:12:44.039 Yeah, it's in the tens, right, the fourteenth, Okay, so 1572 01:12:44.079 --> 01:12:45.039 it'll be the two teenth. 1573 01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:48.039 Get it's two weeks from tomorrow? Am I correct when 1574 01:12:48.039 --> 01:12:52.880 I say that? Two weeks from tomorrow? Why would you? 1575 01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:56.079 You're fifty and thirty four. Now he goes and let's say, 1576 01:12:56.119 --> 01:12:58.079 gets some at bats, then the All Star Game hits, 1577 01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:00.520 he's back off red. Now that's not a bad thing, 1578 01:13:00.600 --> 01:13:02.399 resting it for a few days, but why not just 1579 01:13:02.399 --> 01:13:04.560 give him the extra rest, especially if you've won a 1580 01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:08.079 couple series. You should dominate the Colorado Rockies and then 1581 01:13:08.119 --> 01:13:11.840 you have who'd you say, Dan Dodger. No, that's exactly right. 1582 01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:14.520 You're back out to LA. Now that's high. You'd love 1583 01:13:14.560 --> 01:13:16.039 to have him in a high leverage and a high 1584 01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:18.520 pressure situation like that, planning against that which may be 1585 01:13:18.520 --> 01:13:22.279 a World Series matchup. But in truth, can you survive 1586 01:13:22.359 --> 01:13:24.880 without him in those in that series? And the answer 1587 01:13:24.960 --> 01:13:27.439 is yes. So if they're gonna go by, don't speed 1588 01:13:27.479 --> 01:13:29.159 it up. Now, if he's one hundred percent I've always 1589 01:13:29.159 --> 01:13:30.920 said this, If he's one hundred percent healthy, and you 1590 01:13:30.960 --> 01:13:33.840 see his bat speed and his quickness, but play him 1591 01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:36.439 if it's one game. Play him, what's the way? I'm 1592 01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:38.720 all for it. But if you're still saying, let's get 1593 01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:41.439 if you're questioning if we should give him another week, 1594 01:13:42.439 --> 01:13:44.800 give him another week. If you all of a sudden 1595 01:13:44.840 --> 01:13:47.199 after this week or five days or ten however long 1596 01:13:47.239 --> 01:13:49.159 he's down in West Palm and you walk out of 1597 01:13:49.199 --> 01:13:51.760 there saying he'll be hitting clean up two days from 1598 01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:57.159 now or hitting third two days from now, Bam, play him. 1599 01:13:57.399 --> 01:13:57.640 I don't. 1600 01:13:57.680 --> 01:13:59.640 I don't care if you care. If it's against Colorado, hell, 1601 01:13:59.640 --> 01:14:02.720 a little confident is driving the buck? Did you say Colorado? Yeah, 1602 01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:04.399 you're playing Colorado? Didn't Dodgers? 1603 01:14:04.479 --> 01:14:04.600 Right? 1604 01:14:04.680 --> 01:14:05.319 Seeing back home? 1605 01:14:05.359 --> 01:14:05.520 Fright? 1606 01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:09.520 So the techo West Coast, a couple trips and you 1607 01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:10.600 said Cleveland, Texas? 1608 01:14:11.079 --> 01:14:13.359 Right, So there you go, and you go and to 1609 01:14:13.479 --> 01:14:15.520 take care of it and that if he's healthy. But 1610 01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:19.359 if you're questioning might, it's easy for me. What do 1611 01:14:19.439 --> 01:14:20.000 you guys think? 1612 01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:23.039 Should we? If you're asking me if we should, then 1613 01:14:23.079 --> 01:14:25.000 you got it. Then I'm telling you wait till the 1614 01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:29.119 All Star game's over, the break is over. If you're saying, no, brainer, 1615 01:14:29.279 --> 01:14:31.680 we need him in the lineup. He's healthy, why wait? 1616 01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:35.920 So if you're asking if the question exists. Man, you 1617 01:14:36.039 --> 01:14:38.239 think he needs another week? Give him another week. 1618 01:14:38.800 --> 01:14:41.520 Dana Brown also talking about Jeremy Panio. We'll share that 1619 01:14:41.640 --> 01:14:45.720 with you either before or after we hear from Steve Sparks. 1620 01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:48.199 But Rick c right there. We'll get you involved. You 1621 01:14:48.239 --> 01:14:50.319 want to join him? Someone three two one two five 1622 01:14:50.479 --> 01:14:53.479 seven ninety. Again it's someone three two one two five 1623 01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:55.880 at seven ninety. Don't forget. Steve Sparks joined us in 1624 01:14:55.880 --> 01:14:58.880 about fifteen minutes right here for his Monday visit on 1625 01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:00.239 the Shown Salisbury Show. 1626 01:15:03.119 --> 01:15:05.079 The Shawn Salisbury Show continued. 1627 01:15:07.239 --> 01:15:09.840 So our firefighters respond to them and then we have 1628 01:15:09.960 --> 01:15:15.479 snipers taking them out. It's terrible they happened. Cordlaina, Idaho 1629 01:15:15.560 --> 01:15:18.760 last night. Yeah, I saw that starting fires, getting them 1630 01:15:18.800 --> 01:15:25.720 to respond to them, and actually attacking them and setting 1631 01:15:25.800 --> 01:15:29.039 them up. That's why people who are first responder and 1632 01:15:29.079 --> 01:15:31.920 their special people and it's in in a sniper mode 1633 01:15:32.520 --> 01:15:37.239 to set them up and then take them out. Who 1634 01:15:37.279 --> 01:15:40.279 does that? What the world are we doing? What the 1635 01:15:40.359 --> 01:15:40.960 world are we doing? 1636 01:15:41.039 --> 01:15:41.159 Here? 1637 01:15:41.640 --> 01:15:44.279 And in Toronto at the at their parade, they're literally 1638 01:15:44.520 --> 01:15:48.439 walking the parade. But asked naked, I just I mean, 1639 01:15:48.920 --> 01:15:51.159 I understand you're sending a message that ain't the mess, 1640 01:15:51.279 --> 01:15:54.319 is it? I don't. I mean if you walk down 1641 01:15:54.359 --> 01:15:57.159 to the Mill Street naked, what would happen? Would get arrested? 1642 01:15:57.479 --> 01:16:00.720 And would you get arrested? And right fleet, well, well 1643 01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:03.520 who shouldn't. I just the world we live in now 1644 01:16:04.159 --> 01:16:05.359 you wake up to and say, you know what, anything 1645 01:16:05.359 --> 01:16:09.439 I'm gonna do? I think I am going to start 1646 01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:13.479 a fire and assassinate, do everything I can to take 1647 01:16:13.520 --> 01:16:16.760 them out with a sniper rifle. The guys who are 1648 01:16:16.800 --> 01:16:21.199 going to respond to a fire in court Aint, Idaho. Yeah, 1649 01:16:21.319 --> 01:16:22.880 I just I don't mean to get off there. It's 1650 01:16:22.920 --> 01:16:27.239 just been every day. It's something what we tolerate and 1651 01:16:27.319 --> 01:16:30.439 what we allow. I hope, And this is gonna sound harsh, 1652 01:16:30.439 --> 01:16:33.439 and I really don't care. As the search continues for 1653 01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:36.399 these guys. Unless it's happened since we've I would imagine 1654 01:16:36.399 --> 01:16:40.640 we'd see breaking news on our TV. They they don't 1655 01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:42.640 deserve to go back to jail, to go to jail, 1656 01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:46.760 they'll take their ass out, eliminate the problem. Then, if 1657 01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:49.000 you've got a question, should we or should we? Because 1658 01:16:49.520 --> 01:16:52.520 that sean that's archaic. Oh well, I'm an I for 1659 01:16:52.520 --> 01:16:54.279 an eye guy. When it comes to that, you just 1660 01:16:54.840 --> 01:16:58.840 ruined two families, regardless, just the thought process that now 1661 01:16:59.199 --> 01:17:01.640 every single now. Now, if you're a firefighter, you've got 1662 01:17:01.720 --> 01:17:04.079 to go to work wondering if they've set you up 1663 01:17:04.399 --> 01:17:06.720 to take you out and set the fire on purpose 1664 01:17:06.800 --> 01:17:09.079 to put you in harm's way. It's harm's way, not 1665 01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:13.319 to fight the fire. Yeah enough, I'm just telling you. 1666 01:17:14.079 --> 01:17:16.720 Put our snipers at the best in their ability. Those 1667 01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:19.279 guys don't deserve to go back and have a trial. 1668 01:17:19.680 --> 01:17:23.079 Take them out. And the last thing I want to hear, yeah, 1669 01:17:23.159 --> 01:17:24.840 they both of them had or if it's two or 1670 01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:26.119 three or five, I don't know how many. It is 1671 01:17:26.600 --> 01:17:30.560 mental illness, no kidding, you know what mental illness or not. 1672 01:17:31.119 --> 01:17:33.399 I'm just telling you right now, if you lose the 1673 01:17:33.520 --> 01:17:37.399 right to make any decisions after you do that are firefighters? 1674 01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:41.000 Yeah no, you know what, Bud. I'm just sorry to 1675 01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:42.880 tell you. It sounds archaic or not. I don't care 1676 01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:46.600 who's who doesn't like it. I'm all for it. Eliminate 1677 01:17:46.920 --> 01:17:50.079 the problem. And there's one way to do it. Keep 1678 01:17:50.119 --> 01:17:51.600 them out of our keep them even out of our 1679 01:17:51.680 --> 01:17:53.439 off our streets, and out of the jail as well. 1680 01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:56.800 Put there, put them in a body bag, and let's 1681 01:17:56.840 --> 01:17:59.239 get and make sure you take care of the problem 1682 01:17:59.279 --> 01:18:01.720 so somebody else doesn't get the idea that look what 1683 01:18:01.800 --> 01:18:05.159 I can do and get away with it. Eliminate it. Period. 1684 01:18:06.600 --> 01:18:07.439 Let's lighten the mood. 1685 01:18:07.760 --> 01:18:09.520 And a way we can do that is our good 1686 01:18:09.560 --> 01:18:11.640 buddy Steve Sparks, joins us every Monday here with the 1687 01:18:11.680 --> 01:18:14.359 Shawn Salisbury Show.

What have 1746 01:21:25.760 --> 01:21:29.359 you learned that you didn't know about cam Smith? Eighty 1747 01:21:29.439 --> 01:21:30.359 games into the season. 1748 01:21:32.720 --> 01:21:35.399 I have could say that he could make adjustments more 1749 01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:37.399 quickly than I thought he might be able to. That 1750 01:21:37.520 --> 01:21:40.239 We saw it because it reminded us of jord On 1751 01:21:41.159 --> 01:21:44.239 when we first saw jord On. The pitch recognition and 1752 01:21:44.680 --> 01:21:47.359 his strikes, own discipline, all those things are always going 1753 01:21:47.399 --> 01:21:47.800 to lead. 1754 01:21:47.760 --> 01:21:51.039 To pretty quick adjustments. But I didn't think he'd. 1755 01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:54.560 Be able to, you know, shoot fastballs the other way 1756 01:21:54.880 --> 01:21:58.359 and hit the brake of balls that are hanging over 1757 01:21:58.399 --> 01:22:00.479 the ter thirdy plate and pull those in the seats 1758 01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:00.800 as well. 1759 01:22:00.920 --> 01:22:03.319 So we're starting to see it get better and better 1760 01:22:03.399 --> 01:22:06.039 as he recognizes how other teams are trying to pitch it. 1761 01:22:07.000 --> 01:22:09.960 But he makes very quick adjustments, and I didn't expect. 1762 01:22:09.680 --> 01:22:13.159 That, Steve. It probably unfair question to you, but you've 1763 01:22:13.239 --> 01:22:15.840 covered it, played it for so long, so I'm looking 1764 01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:18.800 at him and comparisons are a pain and he asked, 1765 01:22:18.840 --> 01:22:20.319 but I'm gonna make you give me or at least 1766 01:22:20.319 --> 01:22:22.600 try to get one from you anyway early in his career, 1767 01:22:23.319 --> 01:22:26.880 not on the Astros, outside with the guys you've seen basically, 1768 01:22:27.000 --> 01:22:29.079 what's the ceiling and is there a guy you think 1769 01:22:29.119 --> 01:22:30.079 he reminds you of? 1770 01:22:32.079 --> 01:22:34.079 Well, I haven't thought about that yet, so I might 1771 01:22:34.199 --> 01:22:36.840 not be able to. I could probably, you know, if 1772 01:22:36.840 --> 01:22:38.159 I sat down for a little bit. 1773 01:22:38.359 --> 01:22:39.039 A right hand. 1774 01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:40.680 Yeah, we'll touch you up with it next week on 1775 01:22:40.760 --> 01:22:41.079 that one. 1776 01:22:42.439 --> 01:22:43.439 But Data was. 1777 01:22:43.439 --> 01:22:46.039 Talking about that as he shouted him for three games 1778 01:22:46.079 --> 01:22:48.479 in college last year and knew that he wasn't going 1779 01:22:48.520 --> 01:22:49.600 to slide to the Astros. 1780 01:22:49.640 --> 01:22:52.720 It's just how funny that is that you do it. 1781 01:22:52.840 --> 01:22:54.479 That's still having a. 1782 01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:57.199 Chance to get him in a train a little later on, 1783 01:22:57.319 --> 01:23:00.479 but he saw him as an amateur and watching him 1784 01:23:00.479 --> 01:23:03.319 at third base, realizing, this guy's going to get a 1785 01:23:03.359 --> 01:23:06.239 little bigger projection wise, and. 1786 01:23:06.279 --> 01:23:08.560 This is what good scouts do. I project him as 1787 01:23:08.560 --> 01:23:12.000 a right fielder, and he was exactly right. Man, He's 1788 01:23:12.039 --> 01:23:15.760 a natural and right field and I don't think he's 1789 01:23:15.760 --> 01:23:16.560 going to move from there. 1790 01:23:17.039 --> 01:23:20.520 Oh we talking Stevens. Forget the comparison to another player, 1791 01:23:20.600 --> 01:23:22.920 but you can probably you know what the floor and 1792 01:23:23.000 --> 01:23:25.239 the ceiling are. You can at least get an idea. Now, 1793 01:23:25.319 --> 01:23:27.880 things change and injuries and hopefully that won't happen. But 1794 01:23:28.119 --> 01:23:30.159 just looking at his skill set and ability to do 1795 01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:33.039 the things you talked about the quick adjustments, he feels 1796 01:23:33.039 --> 01:23:35.119 to me like he's mentally and emotionally tough for a 1797 01:23:35.199 --> 01:23:37.760 young kid as well. Do we have a ceiling? Are 1798 01:23:37.800 --> 01:23:42.039 we talking about good player star or we're talking like 1799 01:23:42.159 --> 01:23:44.600 superstar qualities that we see from the best of the 1800 01:23:44.680 --> 01:23:45.520 best in this league. 1801 01:23:47.840 --> 01:23:49.520 I really don't want to put a ceiling on it. 1802 01:23:49.760 --> 01:23:52.159 I think you're seeing the floor though. Sean in the 1803 01:23:52.239 --> 01:23:52.560 floor is. 1804 01:23:52.600 --> 01:23:56.079 Pretty good right right absolutely, you know he's on the 1805 01:23:56.880 --> 01:23:57.319 like right. 1806 01:23:57.239 --> 01:24:00.439 Now, he's already one of the best o there's when 1807 01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:02.399 you look at the metrics you know in baseball, and 1808 01:24:02.439 --> 01:24:05.560 he's going to continue to get better in that regard 1809 01:24:06.039 --> 01:24:08.319 and as a hitter, he's going to get better better 1810 01:24:08.359 --> 01:24:11.720 as he gets stronger, recognizing the pitches that he can 1811 01:24:11.840 --> 01:24:14.319 really you know, maybe take a shot at. I think 1812 01:24:14.600 --> 01:24:17.680 he's got really good home run potential. Last year, you know, 1813 01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:19.960 even when he signed with Chicago when he was in 1814 01:24:20.039 --> 01:24:21.560 the minor leagues. I think it was six games in 1815 01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:24.159 a row at one point where he had a home run. 1816 01:24:24.119 --> 01:24:25.840 So you could see that. 1817 01:24:25.960 --> 01:24:28.880 He could probably, you know, start to carry a team 1818 01:24:28.960 --> 01:24:31.800 every once in a while, like we've seen great players do, 1819 01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:33.239 and I think he's in that mold. 1820 01:24:34.119 --> 01:24:36.319 Do you believe this team needs another pitcher before the 1821 01:24:36.399 --> 01:24:39.239 All Star break is over or the trading deadline, should 1822 01:24:39.239 --> 01:24:39.840 I say, is done? 1823 01:24:41.560 --> 01:24:42.880 Well, I don't know where. 1824 01:24:42.720 --> 01:24:45.520 That would come from, right So, yeah, they need they 1825 01:24:45.560 --> 01:24:48.600 need more pitching, but that might come from Florida because 1826 01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:52.279 there's four guys pitching there right now that the Astros envision, 1827 01:24:52.479 --> 01:24:54.119 you know, being a part of what's going on with 1828 01:24:54.359 --> 01:24:55.159 Eric Getty. 1829 01:24:55.840 --> 01:24:59.840 Luis Garcia, Christian Javier or somebody o JP France. 1830 01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:03.000 So there's four guys right there that you should have 1831 01:25:03.199 --> 01:25:05.600 confidence in. But you know, getting them healthy and to 1832 01:25:05.720 --> 01:25:08.119 the point where they can get these guys to where 1833 01:25:08.159 --> 01:25:10.359 they want to go that may be another matter. 1834 01:25:10.520 --> 01:25:12.399 So do they need more pitshing? 1835 01:25:13.279 --> 01:25:16.159 Let me tell you something that I heard here in 1836 01:25:16.239 --> 01:25:20.159 the last week or so. Major League Baseball have used 1837 01:25:20.199 --> 01:25:23.000 more and more pitchers every year, right and we've noticed that, 1838 01:25:23.159 --> 01:25:24.520 but we don't know to what degree. 1839 01:25:25.079 --> 01:25:27.039 And now we're to the point, the. 1840 01:25:27.079 --> 01:25:30.920 Twenty twenty five halfway point, basically right now, where Major 1841 01:25:31.000 --> 01:25:35.720 League Baseball has used as many pitchers this year already 1842 01:25:35.880 --> 01:25:39.960 that they employed the entire twenty fourteen season. That's how 1843 01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:40.560 bad it's. 1844 01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:44.920 Gotten half the season in. You've used more than a 1845 01:25:44.960 --> 01:25:46.359 full season in twenty fourteen. 1846 01:25:47.680 --> 01:25:51.880 Yeah, exactly, So do the askers need more pitching? 1847 01:25:52.479 --> 01:25:55.640 Everybody does, say all of them do, right, Steve. So 1848 01:25:56.079 --> 01:25:58.520 with that, Steve, you mentioned that in the building, meaning 1849 01:25:58.840 --> 01:26:01.319 you know, inside the organize, with those studs down there, 1850 01:26:01.319 --> 01:26:04.000 if they're healthy and with the hobby or pumping it 1851 01:26:04.039 --> 01:26:06.720 at ninety five, you're like, well, how long? They may 1852 01:26:06.760 --> 01:26:09.399 not be far away? So let me talk about help outside. 1853 01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:11.600 If I Dan had asked me earlier about you know, 1854 01:26:11.840 --> 01:26:14.439 we were talking about a bat or a pitching and 1855 01:26:14.600 --> 01:26:17.800 mentioned some names. Forget the names. But if I put 1856 01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:20.039 your feet to the to the fire, and I said, Steve, 1857 01:26:20.159 --> 01:26:22.920 you only get one judging from the ross. Now, let's 1858 01:26:22.920 --> 01:26:26.640 say even Jordan's in the lineup healthy and you got 1859 01:26:26.720 --> 01:26:30.199 one or two a starting pitcher or a pitcher that 1860 01:26:30.279 --> 01:26:33.800 you need that's versatile, or a left handed bat, what 1861 01:26:33.920 --> 01:26:35.439 are you doing? You can only have one. 1862 01:26:37.279 --> 01:26:38.159 The left handed bat. 1863 01:26:39.079 --> 01:26:41.560 You know what I'm watching, and I see I see 1864 01:26:41.680 --> 01:26:44.960 right handed pictures with the cutters, with Staying started to 1865 01:26:44.960 --> 01:26:48.279 get in the groove with his cutter yesterday and he 1866 01:26:48.399 --> 01:26:49.479 had the Ashers battle. 1867 01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:53.119 I just think that they need more balance in their lineup. 1868 01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:57.439 And the only reason I say that too is you know, 1869 01:26:57.720 --> 01:26:59.560 you can never have enough, but they do have. 1870 01:27:00.359 --> 01:27:03.279 They have some surplus as far as pissing goes, and 1871 01:27:03.840 --> 01:27:05.439 they develop pictures. 1872 01:27:05.039 --> 01:27:06.000 Better than they do back. 1873 01:27:06.199 --> 01:27:06.960 That's just a fact. 1874 01:27:08.119 --> 01:27:12.880 So I think right now the Asters need more balance 1875 01:27:12.920 --> 01:27:14.800 in their lineup, and I think the left data bats 1876 01:27:14.840 --> 01:27:15.520 would be the target. 1877 01:27:17.640 --> 01:27:20.239 Steve, I'm gonna make you John Gruden, you know when 1878 01:27:20.239 --> 01:27:22.640 he does that film study with players for a second, 1879 01:27:22.720 --> 01:27:25.479 and I know your affinity for the guy I'm about 1880 01:27:25.520 --> 01:27:28.079 to mention because you've talked about it. But I also 1881 01:27:28.239 --> 01:27:30.000 know that there's some things that need fixed. And you've 1882 01:27:30.039 --> 01:27:32.640 seen so much baseball. Walk me through it. You're sitting 1883 01:27:32.680 --> 01:27:35.039 in a room and I'm giving you an hour on 1884 01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:38.399 tape and on video however we're doing it, and to 1885 01:27:38.520 --> 01:27:43.399 talk and give insight to Lance mccullors. You can judging, 1886 01:27:43.439 --> 01:27:45.960 you know, Saturday, maybe the aberration, But tell me what 1887 01:27:46.079 --> 01:27:49.279 you'd talk to him about weather, mechanics, his games, any 1888 01:27:49.319 --> 01:27:51.000 of those things. You got an hour with him and 1889 01:27:51.039 --> 01:27:52.920 we're all watching it on TV. What are you guys 1890 01:27:52.960 --> 01:27:54.119 talking about about his game? 1891 01:27:57.079 --> 01:27:58.920 I would just probably. 1892 01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:02.119 Try to get him to throw more fastballs. I think 1893 01:28:02.159 --> 01:28:04.640 that would make all of his offspeed stuff more effective. 1894 01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:10.439 And we've talked about this even before the long layoff. 1895 01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:11.880 He's really good at. 1896 01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:15.000 Making adjustments, and even when he had a plunker earlier 1897 01:28:15.079 --> 01:28:17.439 this season, I think he rattle off four games where 1898 01:28:17.479 --> 01:28:20.960 he had a crazy amount of strikeouts and was very effective. 1899 01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:22.720 So he knows how to make adjustments. 1900 01:28:23.399 --> 01:28:28.079 But just for me and assessing what I see from 1901 01:28:28.119 --> 01:28:29.760 time to time, I think he gets away from his 1902 01:28:29.880 --> 01:28:30.960 fastball when he gets. 1903 01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:33.119 In trouble, and I think it's a good pitch. 1904 01:28:33.479 --> 01:28:35.760 It's even if the velocity is at where it was 1905 01:28:36.760 --> 01:28:39.399 five years ago, it's still always going to be. 1906 01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:43.239 Effective to pitch inside to open things up for everything else. 1907 01:28:43.479 --> 01:28:46.600 And I think it's even more imperative the slower you 1908 01:28:46.760 --> 01:28:49.399 throw to pitch inside to open things up, because you 1909 01:28:49.399 --> 01:28:52.039 won't get away with very many mistakes if guys are 1910 01:28:52.079 --> 01:28:53.000 diving across the place. 1911 01:28:53.079 --> 01:28:57.239 So that would be my big take and do you 1912 01:28:57.399 --> 01:28:59.319 think that's going to happen. 1913 01:29:01.520 --> 01:29:01.880 I don't know. 1914 01:29:01.920 --> 01:29:04.439 I'm not saying I'm right, and you're asking me what 1915 01:29:04.520 --> 01:29:05.039 I would say. 1916 01:29:05.199 --> 01:29:08.960 So if they feel that's the that's the case, I'm 1917 01:29:09.000 --> 01:29:09.399 not sure. 1918 01:29:09.800 --> 01:29:12.560 I think I think there's a lot of validity to 1919 01:29:13.039 --> 01:29:16.920 that though Baseball to know that if guys are sitting 1920 01:29:17.000 --> 01:29:22.239 stopt then anything you know, marginally over the white part 1921 01:29:22.319 --> 01:29:24.800 of play is much easier to hit it right that 1922 01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:26.600 basketball right at some point. 1923 01:29:26.720 --> 01:29:28.399 So I think that would help. 1924 01:29:28.319 --> 01:29:31.199 You, all right, Steve, judging from the your trip through 1925 01:29:31.239 --> 01:29:34.479 the American League right now, and not just specific, just 1926 01:29:34.560 --> 01:29:39.039 kind of overall broad spectrum. Look, every team has weaknesses 1927 01:29:39.239 --> 01:29:41.560 or stuff that they need work on. Obvious, guys both 1928 01:29:41.600 --> 01:29:43.399 focused on the good teams here, But of the good 1929 01:29:43.479 --> 01:29:46.680 teams that are that we think are contenders to find 1930 01:29:46.720 --> 01:29:51.039 themselves playing in a World Series. Of those teams are 1931 01:29:51.079 --> 01:29:54.640 where the ASTROS rankings the weakness part? Or do they 1932 01:29:54.720 --> 01:29:57.359 have a more glaring weakness than somebody else or are 1933 01:29:57.399 --> 01:29:59.800 they more sound all the way around? I guess where 1934 01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:01.399 do they fit in in the pecking order of the 1935 01:30:01.600 --> 01:30:05.800 overall team. But also if you're pointing to one major weakness, 1936 01:30:06.560 --> 01:30:09.239 is there's a little less weak or somebody else's that 1937 01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:10.399 are contenders. 1938 01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:13.680 I think they're very very. 1939 01:30:13.640 --> 01:30:14.520 Much less week. 1940 01:30:14.920 --> 01:30:18.279 They're nineteen and seven this month, Sean's you know, there's 1941 01:30:18.319 --> 01:30:18.560 not a. 1942 01:30:18.560 --> 01:30:19.359 Lot of witnesses. 1943 01:30:19.399 --> 01:30:22.000 When you watch what they're doing in the teams that 1944 01:30:22.039 --> 01:30:25.039 they're playing, you know they've won series. 1945 01:30:25.079 --> 01:30:29.079 It gets the Cubs now, the Phillies, met the Padres. 1946 01:30:28.640 --> 01:30:31.439 The Blue Jays and a Mariners, all good teams, and 1947 01:30:32.000 --> 01:30:35.680 they've done it in pretty candy fashion. And they've done 1948 01:30:35.720 --> 01:30:39.359 it with mostly pitching, some timely getting and they're good 1949 01:30:39.359 --> 01:30:40.960 at comebacks and you like that trade. 1950 01:30:41.560 --> 01:30:45.640 But it's been mostly pitching, and so I don't I 1951 01:30:45.760 --> 01:30:48.920 think they have the least amount of playering and weaknesses 1952 01:30:49.119 --> 01:30:51.479 of anybody. Do they need a little bit of help. 1953 01:30:51.560 --> 01:30:53.359 Everybody could use a little bit of health and to 1954 01:30:53.399 --> 01:30:56.239 get better. They could, And I'll go back to the 1955 01:30:56.359 --> 01:30:56.920 left hand of bat. 1956 01:30:56.960 --> 01:30:59.119 I think that that would be very helpful. 1957 01:30:59.119 --> 01:31:01.119 I just know it's a pitch you're you know, and 1958 01:31:01.199 --> 01:31:04.960 I've seen it too. The guys, the sliders except basketballs 1959 01:31:04.960 --> 01:31:09.439 are going to give this heavy right handed scene some fits. 1960 01:31:11.399 --> 01:31:14.600 But I like everything about him. You know what, Here's 1961 01:31:14.720 --> 01:31:17.479 here's another one, Sean. You know, we're always talking. 1962 01:31:17.319 --> 01:31:20.479 About how are they doing this? You know, so it's 1963 01:31:20.520 --> 01:31:22.760 easy the points of the pitching. But here's another one too. 1964 01:31:23.199 --> 01:31:25.399 And I was talking to one of the players. It's 1965 01:31:25.439 --> 01:31:28.520 been on a few teams, and we were we were 1966 01:31:28.560 --> 01:31:31.279 talking about like, how how is this happening again? 1967 01:31:32.199 --> 01:31:33.920 And he told me something. 1968 01:31:34.000 --> 01:31:37.920 He said, the biggest difference that I see is when 1969 01:31:37.960 --> 01:31:40.880 a guy comes into the clubhouse, there's one player on 1970 01:31:40.960 --> 01:31:43.279 this Astros scene who will go sit. 1971 01:31:43.199 --> 01:31:47.359 In that locker and get to know him and talk 1972 01:31:47.399 --> 01:31:48.199 to him and make. 1973 01:31:48.159 --> 01:31:51.079 Him feel inclusive right away. He does it every time. 1974 01:31:52.000 --> 01:31:55.279 And he said, it's the it's the face of the franchise. 1975 01:31:55.399 --> 01:31:57.079 It's out too. But and he does it, and he 1976 01:31:57.159 --> 01:31:59.159 makes a point of it. And he said, that's what's 1977 01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:02.039 different about theture in this clubhouse. He makes you feel 1978 01:32:02.079 --> 01:32:05.800 included and important right away. He said, they hit the 1979 01:32:05.840 --> 01:32:08.920 ground run. So whether it's a pitcher or position player 1980 01:32:09.000 --> 01:32:12.760 or whatever, these guys online they hold each other accountable 1981 01:32:12.760 --> 01:32:15.800 as far as their preparation goes. But al cheu be 1982 01:32:16.479 --> 01:32:18.760 gets to know him on a personal basis and that 1983 01:32:18.960 --> 01:32:20.359 ups their their performance. 1984 01:32:20.399 --> 01:32:25.520 I think, unbelieving, Why isn't that shocking at all? Because 1985 01:32:25.560 --> 01:32:28.119 of the guy right me. 1986 01:32:28.159 --> 01:32:28.640 Another thing. 1987 01:32:29.479 --> 01:32:31.760 He told me another thing too. He said, you know 1988 01:32:31.840 --> 01:32:33.800 I noticed that right away, and you see it in 1989 01:32:33.840 --> 01:32:36.960 spring training. I mean, he spends time with guys that 1990 01:32:37.199 --> 01:32:38.600 aren't even going to be on the scene. There's no 1991 01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:41.199 wayther a ball or double a. He knows that they're 1992 01:32:41.199 --> 01:32:43.640 not going to be on the sea. But he said, 1993 01:32:43.680 --> 01:32:45.880 the pain is starting to do that now too, so 1994 01:32:46.039 --> 01:32:49.239 he's investing in his teammates. So, man, that's a that's 1995 01:32:49.279 --> 01:32:50.359 a great example set. 1996 01:32:50.800 --> 01:32:51.079 Steve. 1997 01:32:51.159 --> 01:32:52.720 Let me had you on this one. You get back 1998 01:32:52.760 --> 01:32:55.840 to your thing this morning. Is I've said, how far 1999 01:32:55.960 --> 01:32:57.720 off am I? Or is it spot on or close? 2000 01:32:58.119 --> 01:33:00.840 Dan and I were talking. I said, give me really 2001 01:33:00.880 --> 01:33:03.680 good pitching with average hitting, I can still win a championship. 2002 01:33:04.359 --> 01:33:08.920 Give me average pitching with great hitting, I'm gonna fall short. 2003 01:33:10.520 --> 01:33:13.560 That holds true here too. I believe agree or disagree. 2004 01:33:14.359 --> 01:33:16.760 Mostly in the posting, you know, even for the long and. 2005 01:33:16.800 --> 01:33:19.640 I'm talking about postseason for the most part, Steve, exactly, 2006 01:33:19.960 --> 01:33:21.920 But you still got to get there for sure. 2007 01:33:22.479 --> 01:33:24.520 I always go back. I always go back to twenty 2008 01:33:24.680 --> 01:33:25.119 twenty two. 2009 01:33:25.199 --> 01:33:28.319 And what separated the asterisk from everybody else was clearly 2010 01:33:28.520 --> 01:33:29.960 that they were more fresh. 2011 01:33:30.000 --> 01:33:31.000 And they had a cushion. 2012 01:33:31.800 --> 01:33:33.439 The last month and a half of the season. 2013 01:33:33.479 --> 01:33:35.680 They were able to rest guys, get them off their feet, 2014 01:33:36.600 --> 01:33:39.520 and go to a six man rotation for over half 2015 01:33:39.560 --> 01:33:42.279 of the season. Things of that nature. And it was 2016 01:33:42.359 --> 01:33:45.239 a pair that the other teams were sucking win at 2017 01:33:45.279 --> 01:33:48.640 the end and the Asters were steamrolling. And if the 2018 01:33:48.720 --> 01:33:52.119 Asterisk can keep a cushion, or maybe keep the gas 2019 01:33:52.920 --> 01:33:54.960 the gas down for a little bit longer and to 2020 01:33:55.159 --> 01:33:58.399 increase the cushion, not get too confident, but start to 2021 01:33:58.520 --> 01:34:01.479 rest guys, get them up their skip a guy, a 2022 01:34:01.560 --> 01:34:05.960 starter or two, and go into the playoffs fresh like 2023 01:34:06.039 --> 01:34:07.399 they did in twenty twenty two. 2024 01:34:07.439 --> 01:34:08.720 I think it makes them a lot easier. 2025 01:34:09.000 --> 01:34:12.479 Yeah, battle test that they are and fresh obviously, and 2026 01:34:12.560 --> 01:34:14.560 it's it holds Steve that holds treats the valet we 2027 01:34:14.640 --> 01:34:16.760 stand in every sport. It's why the forty nine ers 2028 01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:19.960 when Bill Walsh was there, and the Cowboys, like in December, 2029 01:34:20.399 --> 01:34:22.800 they backed off practice. They weren't beating each other up. 2030 01:34:22.880 --> 01:34:25.000 They just beat each other beat other teams on Sunday, 2031 01:34:25.279 --> 01:34:28.399 So while everybody else was gasping, they were fresh legged 2032 01:34:28.439 --> 01:34:31.199 and it paid off to Super Bowl championships, and there's 2033 01:34:31.239 --> 01:34:33.119 that that that's got to be a big reason why 2034 01:34:33.199 --> 01:34:34.640 this team when they do it, if they can stay 2035 01:34:34.680 --> 01:34:36.720 fresh and with the way the bullpen is, it'll be 2036 01:34:36.720 --> 01:34:38.960 a blasht to watch something. Yeah well yeah, well it 2037 01:34:39.039 --> 01:34:41.479 sure does from my vantage point, not from theirs, but 2038 01:34:41.479 --> 01:34:43.880 they sure making it look easy at times this year. 2039 01:34:43.920 --> 01:34:45.479 It's gonna be a fun watch in the second half. 2040 01:34:45.520 --> 01:34:47.720 Great stuff. Enjoy the road trip, brother, and we'll see 2041 01:34:47.720 --> 01:34:49.560 you next Monday.

He's yeah, Steve's no. 2060 01:35:47.399 --> 01:35:48.880 I wonder if Steve likes Foster the People. 2061 01:35:49.720 --> 01:35:52.640 He thinks so not pumped up kicks, but there's a 2062 01:35:52.640 --> 01:35:55.319 few other people. Yeah, yeah, I think he could be. 2063 01:35:55.960 --> 01:35:58.960 He's a he's a hip guy. So uh, Sparky and 2064 01:35:59.000 --> 01:36:01.960 the crew out there in Denver off today and then 2065 01:36:02.279 --> 01:36:05.560 get back at it tomorrow. But stros two nothing winners 2066 01:36:05.640 --> 01:36:08.479 yesterday over the Cubs. They take two out of three 2067 01:36:08.520 --> 01:36:11.800 in that series, five and one against the Cubs in 2068 01:36:11.920 --> 01:36:15.159 the Phillies. That's living right, And it just goes to 2069 01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:16.880 show you how well they've played at dyk In Park 2070 01:36:16.920 --> 01:36:19.159 this year and continue to play at dik In Park. 2071 01:36:19.199 --> 01:36:21.079 They're going to play good teams in the postseason. You 2072 01:36:21.159 --> 01:36:22.279 might as well eliminate them now. 2073 01:36:22.479 --> 01:36:25.000 And you used to beating them and in the style 2074 01:36:25.039 --> 01:36:29.000 they're doing it too. It's something that can translate. Jabari 2075 01:36:29.039 --> 01:36:31.119 Smith Junior five year, one hundred and twenty two million 2076 01:36:31.119 --> 01:36:34.279 dollars contract extension with the Rockets and Aldrich pott Gater 2077 01:36:34.800 --> 01:36:38.720 the winner at the Rocket Classic five, first time winner 2078 01:36:38.720 --> 01:36:41.880 at twenty How about that five whole playoff out of 2079 01:36:41.960 --> 01:36:46.000 him able to hold off Grazerman, Eric Grazerman and Max 2080 01:36:46.640 --> 01:36:47.279 Max Graseman. 2081 01:36:47.319 --> 01:36:50.279 I'm saying that's okay. And Chris Kirk and Chris Kirk. Yeah, 2082 01:36:50.359 --> 01:36:50.720 there you go. 2083 01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:54.800 So exciting finish yesterday in Detroit. Seven one three two 2084 01:36:54.840 --> 01:36:57.199 one two five seven ninety is the number to get in. 2085 01:36:57.640 --> 01:37:00.640 Ricky been patient. Good morning, Rick, Good morning, Yo. 2086 01:37:00.800 --> 01:37:02.199 How you doing very much show? 2087 01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:04.680 Just love your guys' show. 2088 01:37:05.800 --> 01:37:06.439 I'll be brief. 2089 01:37:07.239 --> 01:37:09.680 Steve Sparks kind of touched on it, and what I 2090 01:37:09.800 --> 01:37:11.119 was going to ask you all was, how do you 2091 01:37:11.359 --> 01:37:14.520 see this kind of working out? You know, I'm this 2092 01:37:14.760 --> 01:37:18.079 is obviously a great problem to have, but you have 2093 01:37:18.560 --> 01:37:22.239 all those pictures in West Palm, You've got Walker and 2094 01:37:22.279 --> 01:37:25.119 all these guys just pitching lights out. How do you 2095 01:37:25.319 --> 01:37:28.960 see it kind of coming together to where you keep 2096 01:37:29.159 --> 01:37:32.800 what's going on and working in tech? But yet how 2097 01:37:32.960 --> 01:37:35.119 these other pictures kind of work their way in? 2098 01:37:36.439 --> 01:37:39.119 Appreciate the call. Rick, very kind compliment too. 2099 01:37:39.159 --> 01:37:42.399 That was go ahead, No, I mean it's you know 2100 01:37:42.760 --> 01:37:45.600 the point that I brought up was about just not 2101 01:37:45.840 --> 01:37:48.800 necessarily believing in all three of the guys that you 2102 01:37:48.920 --> 01:37:51.000 could potentially have to count on the rest of the 2103 01:37:51.079 --> 01:37:54.520 way because Spencer Raghetti at this point, we're flipping the 2104 01:37:54.560 --> 01:37:57.800 calendar to July tomorrow, and I don't think he's gonna 2105 01:37:57.800 --> 01:38:00.119 be back this month. I mean, at least from what 2106 01:38:00.199 --> 01:38:02.560 we're seeing and hearing right now from his work there 2107 01:38:02.600 --> 01:38:04.159 in West Palm Beach, I don't think you can count 2108 01:38:04.199 --> 01:38:07.399 on him until early August at the earliest. And I 2109 01:38:07.479 --> 01:38:09.399 mean the same deal for Christian Hobby here and then 2110 01:38:09.399 --> 01:38:10.760 when you can, what are you going to count on 2111 01:38:10.880 --> 01:38:13.920 out of them? The wild cards Lance McCullers, Junior. 2112 01:38:16.520 --> 01:38:19.880 Dan I and thinking about what our callers said and 2113 01:38:20.199 --> 01:38:22.680 how do you weave him in? That's their expertise. The 2114 01:38:22.800 --> 01:38:26.840 ass was a know and win, And especially with pitching, 2115 01:38:28.880 --> 01:38:31.840 it just kind of goes with talking about the culture 2116 01:38:31.920 --> 01:38:34.199 that when they come back and you still have these guys. 2117 01:38:34.600 --> 01:38:37.159 And I asked the question last week of how does 2118 01:38:37.199 --> 01:38:39.039 it how does it fit in right? How do you 2119 01:38:39.239 --> 01:38:40.399 how do you know when to move a guy to 2120 01:38:40.439 --> 01:38:42.680 the bullpen and keep the culture and keep people happy 2121 01:38:42.760 --> 01:38:46.199 and say and you got to manage listen athletes all 2122 01:38:47.560 --> 01:38:49.399 you don't want to finish in second place, right, you 2123 01:38:49.479 --> 01:38:51.920 want to win? They all do, and oh, it's a 2124 01:38:51.960 --> 01:38:53.680 lot of money, and I can go if you finished 2125 01:38:53.680 --> 01:38:55.199 a second, it's good and all these points, but you 2126 01:38:55.239 --> 01:38:57.479 wanted to win. Same thing here. You want to start 2127 01:38:57.520 --> 01:39:00.239 if you're a starter, relegated back to the bullpen. But 2128 01:39:00.640 --> 01:39:03.439 they just have a way of and as we continue 2129 01:39:03.479 --> 01:39:06.079 to talk about, you're gonna need them all at some point, 2130 01:39:06.159 --> 01:39:08.600 you're probably gonna need them. So the way you weave 2131 01:39:08.600 --> 01:39:11.279 it in is do what you do and they're paid. 2132 01:39:11.439 --> 01:39:13.920 Here's one thing that seeing I also think that separates 2133 01:39:14.000 --> 01:39:17.399 them from other franchises that I've watched, at least the 2134 01:39:17.439 --> 01:39:20.039 way it feels kind of goes along with Steve Sparks 2135 01:39:20.119 --> 01:39:21.600 is saying how two Vey goes in and gets to 2136 01:39:21.640 --> 01:39:24.920 know people. But a culture thing. I almost feel like 2137 01:39:25.159 --> 01:39:26.880 there's no explanation you needed. We're here to win. They 2138 01:39:26.920 --> 01:39:29.960 understand the big picture, and you're still getting paid. Your 2139 01:39:30.359 --> 01:39:32.760 salary doesn't change based on the fact that, oh I 2140 01:39:32.880 --> 01:39:35.119 was a starter, I'm going to the bullpen. Take one 2141 01:39:35.159 --> 01:39:37.199 hundred thousand dollars off my salary. No, it's just as 2142 01:39:37.239 --> 01:39:40.079 important and as we well see the bullpen over the 2143 01:39:40.239 --> 01:39:42.079 course of it all, with as much work as they're 2144 01:39:42.119 --> 01:39:45.079 gonna get, becomes every bit, if not more important, because 2145 01:39:45.399 --> 01:39:47.600 you're gonna log a lot of innings with all the 2146 01:39:47.680 --> 01:39:50.439 guys combined. Not the number of straight innings you get 2147 01:39:50.479 --> 01:39:53.479 from a six inning starter or five inning, but three 2148 01:39:53.560 --> 01:39:55.720 guys pitching five innings. You're gonna get work, and you're 2149 01:39:55.720 --> 01:39:58.039 gonna need it. I think what happens is you just 2150 01:39:58.159 --> 01:40:01.199 have to buy into the plan. Sure, if you get 2151 01:40:01.279 --> 01:40:03.800 relegated to the bullpen and you're pitching well and Hovey 2152 01:40:03.840 --> 01:40:06.039 Air comes back and shows you that he's pumping it 2153 01:40:06.079 --> 01:40:09.399 at ninety five and he's Christian Javier, he's gonna start. 2154 01:40:10.199 --> 01:40:12.439 So I mean, you've got two choices. You can either 2155 01:40:12.760 --> 01:40:14.439 be along for the ride and do your thing and 2156 01:40:14.520 --> 01:40:17.279 continue to dominate someone that rears its head again for you, 2157 01:40:17.800 --> 01:40:19.560 or you going to the tank. And this team seems 2158 01:40:19.600 --> 01:40:21.920 to have found a way or franchise not to let 2159 01:40:21.960 --> 01:40:24.159 that bother him. So I'll tell you this, it's a 2160 01:40:24.279 --> 01:40:26.520 great problem to have. Hey, we've got nine starters. What 2161 01:40:26.600 --> 01:40:28.880 do you want to do? The Dodgers had like twelve 2162 01:40:28.920 --> 01:40:31.399 of them starting the season, and they're begging for starting 2163 01:40:31.439 --> 01:40:34.399 pitching right now because of the injuries they've had, So 2164 01:40:34.720 --> 01:40:38.079 it's gonna happen. It's a great point, great question, but 2165 01:40:39.720 --> 01:40:42.800 the surplus very few teams get to stand at the 2166 01:40:42.840 --> 01:40:44.880 midway point or when you hit August, say we got 2167 01:40:44.920 --> 01:40:48.600 a surplus a pitching very few regularly. The ones that 2168 01:40:48.720 --> 01:40:52.359 do are usually playing when it's down to you're a 2169 01:40:52.479 --> 01:40:54.720 series or so away from a world series. Surplus a 2170 01:40:54.800 --> 01:40:57.439 pitching of good pitching matters, and they've got a lot 2171 01:40:57.479 --> 01:40:59.239 of it. Good problem to have, which means they don't 2172 01:40:59.319 --> 01:41:02.960 have to rush, but you can only handle so many injuries. 2173 01:41:03.000 --> 01:41:05.920 And judging by the injuries and depending on the mccullor's 2174 01:41:05.960 --> 01:41:08.720 performance of this, it appears that Javier is going to 2175 01:41:08.800 --> 01:41:10.479 need to rear his head in twenty twenty five. And 2176 01:41:10.479 --> 01:41:12.239 I'll be honest, I never counted on it this year, 2177 01:41:13.039 --> 01:41:15.119 not that it mattered what I thought, but I didn't 2178 01:41:15.159 --> 01:41:17.720 count on this. And if you get him, let's say 2179 01:41:17.760 --> 01:41:21.760 August first, let's just say that for fun, dude, and 2180 01:41:21.840 --> 01:41:25.479 hen he's Christian Xavier. You have just completely lengthded and 2181 01:41:25.560 --> 01:41:29.159 improved a staff period. But it's the buy in buy 2182 01:41:29.239 --> 01:41:31.720 and I use a lot why because it only takes 2183 01:41:31.720 --> 01:41:33.479 about three guys not to buy and to disrupt the 2184 01:41:33.520 --> 01:41:36.119 whole cart. Dude, I'm just telling you this franchise has 2185 01:41:36.279 --> 01:41:38.560 rarely had to deal with that over the last decade. 2186 01:41:38.840 --> 01:41:42.399 Well, and Sparky's point about the left handed bat is 2187 01:41:42.520 --> 01:41:45.800 valid about balancing out the order, sure, but I just 2188 01:41:45.880 --> 01:41:48.760 feel like the priority is more on the pitching side 2189 01:41:48.880 --> 01:41:51.399 because I have to have that if this thing is 2190 01:41:51.439 --> 01:41:54.159 going to go where I wanted to go. I feel 2191 01:41:54.279 --> 01:41:57.600 like that the lineup, it's been more about guys who 2192 01:41:57.720 --> 01:42:00.199 either are not here but you will get back, and 2193 01:42:00.279 --> 01:42:02.600 the guys who are here that you expect more from 2194 01:42:02.720 --> 01:42:03.079 a grade. 2195 01:42:04.560 --> 01:42:07.079 Yes, you are a spot on and hopefully you can 2196 01:42:07.119 --> 01:42:09.119 do it, but think about this, Dan, look at the 2197 01:42:09.159 --> 01:42:12.439 production real quick that you're getting from cam Smith, even 2198 01:42:12.479 --> 01:42:14.600 though you're not getting the type production. Maybe from Christian 2199 01:42:14.640 --> 01:42:17.840 Walker that you want the consistent team. Maybe that Altuve. 2200 01:42:17.960 --> 01:42:19.520 You know, he hits the home run, which is big, 2201 01:42:19.600 --> 01:42:21.479 but you know where he goes on that heater, which 2202 01:42:21.520 --> 01:42:24.239 he will. But then a guy like cam Smith and 2203 01:42:24.319 --> 01:42:27.840 Jake Myers do their thing. So it really But isn't 2204 01:42:27.880 --> 01:42:30.079 that kind of the essence of what I know? It 2205 01:42:30.159 --> 01:42:31.920 sounds cheesy, but isn't that kind of the essence of 2206 01:42:31.960 --> 01:42:36.039 a good team really That we talk about people picking 2207 01:42:36.119 --> 01:42:38.359 you up when you're struggling, and that says not through 2208 01:42:38.479 --> 01:42:41.800 verbage in a clubhouse. It's the other side, Oh you're struggling, 2209 01:42:42.119 --> 01:42:44.119 Cam Smith, I gotta do more. I'm a rookie, but 2210 01:42:44.159 --> 01:42:46.880 you know what, I gotta do more. And I believe 2211 01:42:46.920 --> 01:42:49.439 they kind of take that on and wear it, and 2212 01:42:49.560 --> 01:42:51.840 I think it's on their sleeve, man. And it's important 2213 01:42:51.880 --> 01:42:54.039 because just when you think that I need Christian Walker, 2214 01:42:54.119 --> 01:42:57.199 did you expect your right fielder this year? Not only 2215 01:42:57.439 --> 01:42:59.680 did you expect it to be Cam Smith when we started, 2216 01:43:00.039 --> 01:43:01.600 but did you expect him to hit two eighty and 2217 01:43:01.640 --> 01:43:03.319 put him in the four hole windows. I thought this 2218 01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:04.960 was going to be one of the worst Gold Glove 2219 01:43:05.000 --> 01:43:09.319 caliber rightfielder already. And you say, I don't need Kyle 2220 01:43:09.399 --> 01:43:11.760 Tucker back, even though he's got you get my point. 2221 01:43:12.159 --> 01:43:14.800 We're not begging for Kyle Tucker back here. No, and 2222 01:43:14.960 --> 01:43:16.319 he's going to be at All Star and he's a 2223 01:43:16.399 --> 01:43:21.319 great player. So somebody else continues to say, Okay, my 2224 01:43:21.479 --> 01:43:25.439 turn to lift pitching's done it all season with all 2225 01:43:25.520 --> 01:43:28.319 these injuries, they had no choice and now, if you 2226 01:43:28.359 --> 01:43:30.079 get healthy, then you'll have some choices to make, but 2227 01:43:30.159 --> 01:43:30.920 good problems to have. 2228 01:43:31.479 --> 01:43:34.439 Now, you definitely want choices as opposed to desperation, and 2229 01:43:34.520 --> 01:43:37.039 the astros, at least right now, seem like they've got 2230 01:43:37.119 --> 01:43:41.159 the former scenario on their hands. Ryan John Brandon. See 2231 01:43:41.199 --> 01:43:42.960 you guys right there, a couple of lines open if 2232 01:43:43.000 --> 01:43:45.239 you want to join them.

Go and draw a little blood. 2251 01:44:38.720 --> 01:44:40.279 It's non invasive and by the end of the day 2252 01:44:40.279 --> 01:44:42.039 you'll get the results and then you start to normalize it. 2253 01:44:42.600 --> 01:44:45.399 And isn't it some things you can't control in life, man, 2254 01:44:45.680 --> 01:44:47.840 But when you know what the conflict is, Man, I'm sluggish. 2255 01:44:47.960 --> 01:44:50.880 My sex life sucks.

Men's 2270 01:45:30.560 --> 01:45:33.840 TA clinic dot com, Men's ta clinic dot com. 2271 01:45:34.840 --> 01:45:37.039 The seven to ninety listener line in the eight o'clock 2272 01:45:37.159 --> 01:45:41.119 hour is presented by one eight hundred car Cash John. 2273 01:45:41.159 --> 01:45:44.239 Good morning, Hey, good morning, got y'all do it? 2274 01:45:44.319 --> 01:45:44.479 Hey? 2275 01:45:44.560 --> 01:45:46.159 Great great weekend of baseball. 2276 01:45:47.079 --> 01:45:50.359 Two days I've seen on the I know the Hull 2277 01:45:50.479 --> 01:45:53.840 come out there on Friday and pitch light out. I 2278 01:45:53.960 --> 01:45:57.279 know that rabbit came out there yesterday and pitch lights out. 2279 01:45:57.800 --> 01:46:01.359 Now sad, it was a disappointed day because the lambs 2280 01:46:01.399 --> 01:46:04.000 m of color. Uh it was like batting practice out there. 2281 01:46:04.039 --> 01:46:06.960 He didn't have nothing going and uh when when uh 2282 01:46:07.479 --> 01:46:10.119 when Cam put him up to one with that, but 2283 01:46:10.279 --> 01:46:12.399 that Jack, I just knew that he was gonna And 2284 01:46:12.920 --> 01:46:14.560 for him to come out the next day then give 2285 01:46:14.640 --> 01:46:19.039 up six straight runs, that's unacceptable even for because this 2286 01:46:19.159 --> 01:46:21.479 team is young and it's going places. The pitchers and 2287 01:46:21.560 --> 01:46:24.000 pitching the life out along with the bullpen, and for 2288 01:46:24.159 --> 01:46:25.800 him to come out there and take all the wheel 2289 01:46:25.880 --> 01:46:28.640 out to sell. I think this other self. So if 2290 01:46:28.680 --> 01:46:30.119 I was him, I was thinking about going to the 2291 01:46:30.159 --> 01:46:32.560 bullpen to try to get my get my rhythm back 2292 01:46:32.600 --> 01:46:36.079 because right now that's a fast team playing fast. The 2293 01:46:36.840 --> 01:46:39.960 young guys was playing fast, and I think he's just 2294 01:46:40.159 --> 01:46:42.680 out of touch right now. He plays flow. He looked 2295 01:46:42.760 --> 01:46:45.439 old and he just didn't looking. I got one question 2296 01:46:45.600 --> 01:46:48.439 for y'all, but I'm gonna hang up a list, and uh, y'all, 2297 01:46:48.520 --> 01:46:48.880 let me know. 2298 01:46:49.279 --> 01:46:50.840 Do it seem like you did somebody? 2299 01:46:51.439 --> 01:46:55.439 Uh great players is getting targeted like uh, they're making 2300 01:46:55.479 --> 01:46:57.880 a different in this winning like Pinya. I thought they 2301 01:46:58.000 --> 01:47:01.079 throw the ball at Cam a couple of times they do. 2302 01:47:01.159 --> 01:47:05.680 It seem like you we being targeted, and I thank. 2303 01:47:04.800 --> 01:47:07.319 You, I appreciate the call. And no it doesn't. 2304 01:47:07.399 --> 01:47:09.600 I mean, I the one on Friday night, I think 2305 01:47:09.600 --> 01:47:12.000 that was just a pitch that got away and unfortunately 2306 01:47:12.079 --> 01:47:16.720 it gets pinia. I mean, I understand in Sacramento and 2307 01:47:17.279 --> 01:47:19.720 h in the Angels series you kind of wondered a 2308 01:47:19.720 --> 01:47:22.279 little bit with al Tuova, but no, I think it's 2309 01:47:22.279 --> 01:47:24.800 just pitchers pitching inside and sometimes it gets away from you. 2310 01:47:24.920 --> 01:47:25.479 I don't. 2311 01:47:25.600 --> 01:47:29.680 I don't since that there is an intention to try 2312 01:47:29.720 --> 01:47:32.680 to throw out Astro's hitters. But with mccullors, I mean, 2313 01:47:32.760 --> 01:47:35.560 we heard what Sparky said, and you know on Saturday 2314 01:47:35.640 --> 01:47:39.399 that first inning command was an issue, so probably was 2315 01:47:39.600 --> 01:47:41.760 trying to figure out, all right, where do I have 2316 01:47:41.880 --> 01:47:44.439 my best command? It's with my breaking stuff. The breaking 2317 01:47:44.520 --> 01:47:47.000 stuff was not good, so the fastball didn't matter. But 2318 01:47:47.680 --> 01:47:50.920 even with the decreased velocity. I mean, Steve Sparks, the 2319 01:47:50.960 --> 01:47:53.039 guy that pitched in the Majors, knows a lot about it. 2320 01:47:53.760 --> 01:47:56.000 If he's saying that, then I think there probably is 2321 01:47:56.079 --> 01:47:59.399 something there with mccullors where you look at it and say, hey, 2322 01:47:59.760 --> 01:48:01.920 we're off of this, and then go with the other 2323 01:48:01.960 --> 01:48:03.479 stuff real quick. 2324 01:48:03.520 --> 01:48:05.560 I don't believe they're targeting the assos because some get 2325 01:48:05.560 --> 01:48:07.239 away and you'll keep an eye on as it goes on. 2326 01:48:07.399 --> 01:48:09.960 But I don't think we're at that point right now. 2327 01:48:10.039 --> 01:48:12.960 They're not a big taunting team anyway, they really aren't. 2328 01:48:13.319 --> 01:48:15.439 They don't taunt. They do. They take care of their business. 2329 01:48:15.720 --> 01:48:17.680 But I would imagine they'll protect and I like that, 2330 01:48:18.199 --> 01:48:20.439 Oh you can keep on it, But I don't think 2331 01:48:20.479 --> 01:48:23.319 those are intentional throws. I think sometimes it just happens. 2332 01:48:23.359 --> 01:48:26.439 But the mcculor situation is going to have to improve it. 2333 01:48:26.439 --> 01:48:28.119 They're gonna have decisions to make. And he's done some 2334 01:48:28.199 --> 01:48:31.000 really good things. And I think Steve's right. I mean, 2335 01:48:31.039 --> 01:48:33.720 when you see it, and it should be easy to 2336 01:48:33.760 --> 01:48:35.880 adjust to throw more fastbles. If that's part of what 2337 01:48:35.960 --> 01:48:37.800 Lance mccullors wants to change you. 2338 01:48:37.840 --> 01:48:40.159 Pretty much when you get to the postseason, the first 2339 01:48:40.239 --> 01:48:43.039 round you can go with three, the second round and on. 2340 01:48:43.399 --> 01:48:46.039 You got have four starting pitchers at least. So that's 2341 01:48:46.079 --> 01:48:48.359 what the race is to right now, final to fifth one, 2342 01:48:48.479 --> 01:48:51.560 just depending right just maybe if you want to, you know, 2343 01:48:51.640 --> 01:48:54.119 be able to try to give you know, fromber Hunter 2344 01:48:54.199 --> 01:48:56.520 Brown an extra day. I mean, although Hunter Brown, I 2345 01:48:56.600 --> 01:48:58.680 think if he's the first one out the gate, he 2346 01:48:58.720 --> 01:49:01.479 would say, no, give it to me, especially we got 2347 01:49:01.479 --> 01:49:01.800 a chance. 2348 01:49:01.840 --> 01:49:02.680 Close this out, let's go. 2349 01:49:02.840 --> 01:49:03.399 Yeah, there you go? 2350 01:49:03.640 --> 01:49:05.680 So did you just to time it out depending on 2351 01:49:05.800 --> 01:49:07.720 it and knowing what you're looking for, but yeah, you 2352 01:49:07.720 --> 01:49:10.079 gotta have four and you better have four strong, no doubt. 2353 01:49:10.640 --> 01:49:11.920 Well they keep pitching this way. 2354 01:49:12.520 --> 01:49:15.520 Definitely can hope for good things and believe that good 2355 01:49:15.600 --> 01:49:17.840 things can come their way. Ryan, See you're right there, 2356 01:49:17.920 --> 01:49:20.199 Brandon two. You want to join them seven one three 2357 01:49:20.279 --> 01:49:22.720 two one two five seven ninety against seven one three 2358 01:49:22.800 --> 01:49:25.600 two one two at five seven ninety. What are the 2359 01:49:25.680 --> 01:49:28.880 Astros done with this? Start to help themselves out? We'll 2360 01:49:28.880 --> 01:49:31.239 talk about it here on the other side, right here 2361 01:49:31.319 --> 01:49:33.079 on a Monday Sports Talk seven ninety. 2362 01:49:35.640 --> 01:49:35.920 Let's go. 2363 01:49:36.399 --> 01:49:38.439 This is this Sean Salisbury show. 2364 01:49:39.520 --> 01:49:41.359 Yeah, just so, your go to is Donna Summer. 2365 01:49:41.479 --> 01:49:41.920 I like that. 2366 01:49:42.279 --> 01:49:44.600 Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, easily. 2367 01:49:44.680 --> 01:49:46.439 You're in the ballpark there, so I mean you could 2368 01:49:46.479 --> 01:49:48.319 be right. I mean there's some sort of like degrees 2369 01:49:48.359 --> 01:49:52.479 of separation at that point. Absolutely, so good call, do you? Yeah, Well, 2370 01:49:52.640 --> 01:49:54.680 you know, I try to connect the dots as best 2371 01:49:54.760 --> 01:49:58.800 I can. Sean, the Strows they feel excited, so fans 2372 01:49:58.840 --> 01:50:00.720 do because they're fifteen and thirty four on the season. 2373 01:50:00.760 --> 01:50:02.960 They beat the Cubs just day two to nothing, and 2374 01:50:03.479 --> 01:50:05.760 they take two out of three in that series. How 2375 01:50:05.800 --> 01:50:07.840 about the Rockets, They got reason to be excited because 2376 01:50:07.880 --> 01:50:11.680 Jabari Smith Junior extended five years, one hundred and twenty 2377 01:50:11.720 --> 01:50:15.960 two million. According to reports, someone three two one two 2378 01:50:16.119 --> 01:50:18.640 five seven ninety is the number to get in Ryan 2379 01:50:18.960 --> 01:50:20.880 up in Montgomery. He wants to weigh in Ryan. 2380 01:50:20.920 --> 01:50:23.680 Good morning, Morton Fellas. 2381 01:50:24.159 --> 01:50:25.439 I want to start by saying, I try to go 2382 01:50:25.520 --> 01:50:27.720 to tailgaters this weekend, but my son is cutting teeth, 2383 01:50:27.760 --> 01:50:29.159 so I didn't want to go on a date with 2384 01:50:29.279 --> 01:50:31.439 a pissed offtero dactyl as a third wheel. 2385 01:50:32.159 --> 01:50:33.239 I'm gonna try to get out there. 2386 01:50:33.399 --> 01:50:35.560 There's there's there's plenty, there's plenty of people there that 2387 01:50:35.640 --> 01:50:37.600 I assume that I assure you would be louder than 2388 01:50:37.640 --> 01:50:38.039 he would. 2389 01:50:39.319 --> 01:50:44.199 Yeah, probably were not wrong. Uh So I showed up 2390 01:50:44.279 --> 01:50:47.920 late to the party. I apologized. I caught a little 2391 01:50:47.920 --> 01:50:48.640 bit of the Steve. 2392 01:50:48.439 --> 01:50:51.479 Sparks interview, but I heard you talking about finding at 2393 01:50:51.560 --> 01:50:53.960 Lancet Callers where he needs to build off of, and 2394 01:50:54.039 --> 01:50:57.000 I just think he's he's already has to be having 2395 01:50:57.039 --> 01:50:59.680 these conversations with the pitching staff right like there's no 2396 01:50:59.720 --> 01:51:03.560 way to not happening. That being said, he's a professional athlete. 2397 01:51:03.560 --> 01:51:05.159 I'm not going to say you pretend like I know 2398 01:51:05.239 --> 01:51:07.479 what I'm talking about, But at what point do you 2399 01:51:07.520 --> 01:51:11.199 start having very honest conversations about capabilities and where you 2400 01:51:11.319 --> 01:51:14.279 fit into this lineup? Because yeah, I know people have 2401 01:51:14.399 --> 01:51:16.520 bad outings, that's one thing, But I feel like this 2402 01:51:16.800 --> 01:51:20.560 is becoming more of a trend that we're seeing far 2403 01:51:20.680 --> 01:51:23.079 too often. And I'm just wondering y'all's opinion on at 2404 01:51:23.119 --> 01:51:25.399 what point do you start saying, hey man, maybe it's 2405 01:51:25.439 --> 01:51:27.199 a bullpen thing, maybe you need to work on some 2406 01:51:27.319 --> 01:51:30.159 other stuff in triple A or whatever it might be. 2407 01:51:30.359 --> 01:51:33.319 When does that happen? And I'll hang up and listen. 2408 01:51:33.560 --> 01:51:36.319 I appreciate the call, Ryan, I mean, I think that 2409 01:51:36.640 --> 01:51:39.880 it's kind of the same mold of what we were 2410 01:51:39.960 --> 01:51:42.960 looking for after he had the rough outing against the 2411 01:51:43.039 --> 01:51:46.720 Reds and mccullor's had that line this weekend that I 2412 01:51:46.760 --> 01:51:50.239 guess the NL Central is just my daddy, because it 2413 01:51:50.439 --> 01:51:52.640 was the redscheme where he couldn't even get out of 2414 01:51:52.680 --> 01:51:55.359 the first inning, and then it was the rough first 2415 01:51:55.399 --> 01:51:57.239 inning that you're able to get out with just one 2416 01:51:57.319 --> 01:51:59.560 run given up, but then it was the fourth inning 2417 01:51:59.640 --> 01:52:02.840 that can got away from Lance mccullor's junior. My answer 2418 01:52:02.880 --> 01:52:05.920 would be, if you see this in the next start 2419 01:52:06.199 --> 01:52:09.159 or the start after that, or anything else, that he's 2420 01:52:09.279 --> 01:52:12.640 pretty much give you know, he's pretty much run out 2421 01:52:12.640 --> 01:52:15.840 of any more lives to have. If he has another 2422 01:52:15.880 --> 01:52:17.680 outing like this. If he does, then I think you 2423 01:52:17.800 --> 01:52:19.479 do have to start having those conversations. 2424 01:52:19.680 --> 01:52:21.520 Oh, I think there's more life. It just depends on 2425 01:52:21.600 --> 01:52:24.000 if it says a starter on a regular basis, it's 2426 01:52:24.039 --> 01:52:26.399 going to be one of your five guys. I think 2427 01:52:26.439 --> 01:52:29.359 in Ryan's correct. I think this conversation, if it has 2428 01:52:29.399 --> 01:52:32.199 already had to be had, had to be had, already 2429 01:52:32.239 --> 01:52:37.479 had to have taken place, or it's fluid, fluid to 2430 01:52:37.520 --> 01:52:39.279 the point where I don't think it's a stone cold 2431 01:52:39.359 --> 01:52:42.199 lead pipe lock that he's entrenched into your third or 2432 01:52:42.239 --> 01:52:44.640 fourth starter. I just don't, and I'm not sure that. 2433 01:52:45.000 --> 01:52:47.960 I mean, maybe the organization does. But this organization has 2434 01:52:48.039 --> 01:52:52.800 been extremely patient with players and allowing them a Bray 2435 01:52:52.880 --> 01:52:56.359 you I'm talking I ain't talking about Brian Abrad you 2436 01:52:56.800 --> 01:53:01.039 to work through it, Josea brad you, Christian Walker working 2437 01:53:01.079 --> 01:53:02.840 through it. Over the course of time since I've been here, 2438 01:53:02.840 --> 01:53:05.399 They've been patient, allowing players to play their way through 2439 01:53:05.479 --> 01:53:08.039 it and at times pitched their way through it. But 2440 01:53:08.159 --> 01:53:10.439 they will have to make hard decisions as they roll along, 2441 01:53:10.520 --> 01:53:13.640 saying where is it best served not just for Lanceomac Colors, 2442 01:53:13.680 --> 01:53:16.720 but for our organization and for this team. And for 2443 01:53:16.800 --> 01:53:20.000 twenty twenty five, No one, I'm not worried about lance 2444 01:53:20.039 --> 01:53:21.880 mc colors in the spring of twenty twenty six. Sorry, 2445 01:53:21.920 --> 01:53:23.840 I'm just not. Just like I'm not worried about what 2446 01:53:24.000 --> 01:53:25.800 Garcia is bringing next year. We'll deal with that when 2447 01:53:25.800 --> 01:53:27.960 next year comes. I'm worried about this team right now 2448 01:53:28.039 --> 01:53:29.479 and how we're going to do it and get it 2449 01:53:29.560 --> 01:53:33.159 done now. And so the simple question that'll answer at 2450 01:53:33.159 --> 01:53:36.359 all and we got to take feelings after And I 2451 01:53:36.399 --> 01:53:39.279 don't know the answer to this yet, because is Saturday 2452 01:53:40.319 --> 01:53:43.279 closer to lanceo mc colors or is the twelve strikeout closer? 2453 01:53:43.319 --> 01:53:45.399 I want to think the twelve strikeout is. But where 2454 01:53:45.520 --> 01:53:47.279 is he in the middle of this? What is he 2455 01:53:47.319 --> 01:53:50.239 at the fifty mark? Is he leaning towards Okay, he's 2456 01:53:50.319 --> 01:53:52.199 one of our guys. We're gonna he's he's headed in 2457 01:53:52.239 --> 01:53:54.720 the right direction. Or man, We've got to rethink some 2458 01:53:54.880 --> 01:53:56.640 of this to find out how much we can get 2459 01:53:56.640 --> 01:53:58.640 out of him and where he's most effective for now 2460 01:53:58.840 --> 01:54:01.119 we'll have twenty twenty six or what goes on for 2461 01:54:01.239 --> 01:54:03.560 this team to win a World Series? It's real simple. 2462 01:54:04.800 --> 01:54:07.560 Where do you make us better? It's not a hard 2463 01:54:07.600 --> 01:54:09.680 one and in the process, you're trying to work it back, 2464 01:54:09.760 --> 01:54:11.560 and we know he wants to and we know where 2465 01:54:11.560 --> 01:54:14.279 he's best when he's good as a starter, But as 2466 01:54:14.359 --> 01:54:17.359 far as his impact on this team today and going 2467 01:54:17.439 --> 01:54:20.319 forward this year, the simple question among all of them 2468 01:54:20.359 --> 01:54:23.319 has got to be not worried about somebody's feelings hurt 2469 01:54:23.720 --> 01:54:28.800 or that is, does he give us the best chance 2470 01:54:28.880 --> 01:54:30.960 to win when he starts? And is he one of 2471 01:54:31.000 --> 01:54:33.279 our going forward? Can you envision where we get to 2472 01:54:33.319 --> 01:54:34.920 the playoffs and we get in the long series and 2473 01:54:34.960 --> 01:54:37.239 we need four stars. Is he one of them? And 2474 01:54:37.600 --> 01:54:39.560 that's obviously going to be made as the season goes on, 2475 01:54:39.680 --> 01:54:42.479 but you've got to decide before then. It can't be 2476 01:54:42.520 --> 01:54:45.319 an experimental phase when when September gets here, you just can't. 2477 01:54:45.800 --> 01:54:48.039 Experiments are done matter of fact that you start to 2478 01:54:48.039 --> 01:54:49.640 creep toward. So you've got to find and then get 2479 01:54:49.680 --> 01:54:53.399 settled in. So everybody once again defining the role. What's 2480 01:54:53.479 --> 01:54:56.199 his right now it's a starter, you have a couple 2481 01:54:56.279 --> 01:54:59.239 more starts like this, that conversation will heat up about 2482 01:54:59.279 --> 01:55:01.800 where his best stuff. Is it best to get him 2483 01:55:01.800 --> 01:55:04.960 for a couple of innings and long relief. Maybe maybe 2484 01:55:05.000 --> 01:55:07.159 it's the spot start, and maybe he's the spot starter 2485 01:55:07.239 --> 01:55:09.159 and starts once in a while, but we got him 2486 01:55:09.159 --> 01:55:11.720 in a bullpen because man, if you haven't figured him out, 2487 01:55:11.760 --> 01:55:13.359 you don't get a second or third bat to do it, 2488 01:55:13.439 --> 01:55:16.760 and sometimes early in it. So to me, Lance mccolors, 2489 01:55:17.199 --> 01:55:18.920 while it's a work in progress, we know what he's 2490 01:55:18.960 --> 01:55:20.720 brought to the past, but the pass is behind us 2491 01:55:20.760 --> 01:55:23.800 now in the injuries. He's here supposedly healthy, let's see. 2492 01:55:24.880 --> 01:55:28.199 But it's a simple question for me do going forward? 2493 01:55:28.840 --> 01:55:31.039 What gives our team the best chance to win in 2494 01:55:31.159 --> 01:55:35.199 these circumstances, and he seems pretty versatile to be able 2495 01:55:35.239 --> 01:55:37.640 to do both. I can't take feelings into account. I 2496 01:55:37.640 --> 01:55:39.720 got to take what's best for our team. And if 2497 01:55:39.760 --> 01:55:42.239 he's not one of those guys, if there's question marks, 2498 01:55:42.279 --> 01:55:44.640 then that can't be a question in September. You've got 2499 01:55:44.720 --> 01:55:47.439 to solidify that either he does by his performance or 2500 01:55:47.520 --> 01:55:49.520 they do by their decision, and then you'll live with 2501 01:55:49.560 --> 01:55:50.960 it and go forward. But it's a simple one. What 2502 01:55:51.119 --> 01:55:53.520 makes us best in twenty twenty five. I'm not worried 2503 01:55:53.520 --> 01:55:56.079 about lancemac colors or anybody else in the springtime next year. 2504 01:55:56.319 --> 01:56:01.199 B Renelle Blanco five innings. Okay, Blanco, What if it can't, 2505 01:56:02.199 --> 01:56:04.479 then you've got to go with somebody else who can, Okay, and. 2506 01:56:04.520 --> 01:56:06.680 Then you move him to the bullpen. Right, that's the 2507 01:56:06.800 --> 01:56:11.359 question you got asked? Can you be this guy more consistently? 2508 01:56:11.640 --> 01:56:14.279 Where are you going to live more? Are we written 2509 01:56:14.319 --> 01:56:16.840 the good stuff and you live where it's it's mid 2510 01:56:17.479 --> 01:56:19.840 or is the twelve strikeout more like you? But a 2511 01:56:19.920 --> 01:56:21.840 couple more starts to find it out. But right now 2512 01:56:21.880 --> 01:56:23.880 you're kind of a little bit of a disadvantage because 2513 01:56:23.920 --> 01:56:27.199 of the health of your staff. So you you're trying 2514 01:56:27.239 --> 01:56:29.720 to make it work, and hopefully it will. But at 2515 01:56:29.760 --> 01:56:32.159 some point in time, the feelings of anybody on this 2516 01:56:32.520 --> 01:56:34.279 have to take a backseat to what's best for all 2517 01:56:34.319 --> 01:56:38.279 twenty six cats and in an organization. And I still 2518 01:56:38.319 --> 01:56:39.800 think it's a work in progress. I'm not ready to 2519 01:56:39.880 --> 01:56:42.319 quit on it, but I am willing to adjust if 2520 01:56:42.359 --> 01:56:44.239 in the next couple starts it doesn't look better. Because 2521 01:56:44.279 --> 01:56:47.399 the optics were nasty. Yep, No, it's simple. They were bad. 2522 01:56:47.560 --> 01:56:48.439 No, it was not. 2523 01:56:48.880 --> 01:56:52.239 It was not good whatsoever. And it definitely gave you 2524 01:56:52.359 --> 01:56:55.399 some cause for concern. Someone three two on two five 2525 01:56:55.520 --> 01:56:58.960 seven ninety we said the one the words tone and 2526 01:56:59.159 --> 01:57:01.800 tenor early. Well, that's gonna come into play here as 2527 01:57:01.840 --> 01:57:03.840 we start our number four, because we're gonna hear from 2528 01:57:03.920 --> 01:57:06.960 Dana Brown. Keep those two words in mind when you 2529 01:57:07.039 --> 01:57:08.840 hear from him talking about a current astro. 2530 01:57:09.319 --> 01:57:11.880 We'll do that right here.

So of course people start to believe, all right, well, 2556 01:58:43.439 --> 01:58:45.439 play out the string of years with Pania and then 2557 01:58:45.560 --> 01:58:47.720 we'll see him go somewhere else and it'll be somebody 2558 01:58:47.760 --> 01:58:52.119 else at Shortstop for the Astros. But yesterday Astros GM 2559 01:58:52.279 --> 01:58:56.279 Dana Brown with Robert Ford and the crew on Astro Launch, 2560 01:58:56.479 --> 01:59:01.199 and that question was asked to Dana Brown about Jeremy 2561 01:59:01.239 --> 01:59:05.319 Pania and listen to, uh, listen to the tone of how. 2562 01:59:05.520 --> 01:59:08.159 He talks about that situation with the Astro Shortstop. 2563 01:59:08.960 --> 01:59:11.680 What it will not change is it will not change 2564 01:59:12.079 --> 01:59:15.880 us making an effort to get Jeremy signed long term. 2565 01:59:16.000 --> 01:59:16.119 Here. 2566 01:59:17.119 --> 01:59:19.920 We know that sometimes it could be difficult, uh to 2567 01:59:20.399 --> 01:59:23.800 sign guys, you know, because you know when they use 2568 01:59:23.880 --> 01:59:27.199 Boris as a representation, you know oftentimes they go to 2569 01:59:27.239 --> 01:59:30.000 free agency, right and so, but it will will not 2570 01:59:30.239 --> 01:59:34.760 stop us from trying to get something done, so I uh, 2571 01:59:35.159 --> 01:59:38.119 you know, called Boris like right away when he let 2572 01:59:38.199 --> 01:59:40.800 us know that he's representing them, and just you know, 2573 01:59:40.920 --> 01:59:43.840 had an initial conversation and told him, look, we're still 2574 01:59:44.520 --> 01:59:47.960 interested in signing Jeremy long term and so you know, 2575 01:59:48.079 --> 01:59:49.800 we'll be in touch and we'll see. 2576 01:59:49.800 --> 01:59:50.520 How that works out. 2577 01:59:51.600 --> 01:59:54.560 Tone and tenor does that sound like when he was 2578 01:59:54.600 --> 01:59:58.199 talking about Alex Pregman. Does that sound like when I'm 2579 01:59:58.239 --> 01:59:59.880 trying to remember anybody else. 2580 02:00:00.000 --> 02:00:01.319 I can tell you who it sounds like because I 2581 02:00:01.359 --> 02:00:04.640 asked on this show about Kyle Tucker's contract and if 2582 02:00:04.840 --> 02:00:06.399 they were going to get it done, and then Dane 2583 02:00:06.439 --> 02:00:08.159 at the time, and I think and he believed it, 2584 02:00:08.600 --> 02:00:11.359 and I'm with him one hundred percent. He simply said, 2585 02:00:11.600 --> 02:00:14.079 we're going to make Kyle Tucker an astro for life. 2586 02:00:15.359 --> 02:00:18.560 We probably pulled that up and he was very adamant 2587 02:00:18.720 --> 02:00:22.039 and confident about it. Now things changed. But the key 2588 02:00:22.119 --> 02:00:23.840 here is, and he's telling the truth. I think they made. 2589 02:00:24.439 --> 02:00:26.960 They made the effort that they were within the parameters 2590 02:00:27.000 --> 02:00:28.760 that Dana Brown had to work. They made the effort 2591 02:00:28.840 --> 02:00:30.880 try and keep Kyle Tucker. When they realized it was 2592 02:00:30.880 --> 02:00:33.119 going to be too big, you traded him smart moved 2593 02:00:33.159 --> 02:00:36.520 to go get it now it looks brilliant. Instead of 2594 02:00:36.560 --> 02:00:38.119 paying for hun in fifty million bucks, you got a 2595 02:00:38.159 --> 02:00:40.600 right fielder who is under a rookie contract. You got 2596 02:00:40.640 --> 02:00:41.960 ConTroll them for a while. You're not paying for it 2597 02:00:42.119 --> 02:00:44.720 fifty million dollars right now, who's going to give you? Well, 2598 02:00:44.880 --> 02:00:47.319 it appears he set it towards similar production if this 2599 02:00:47.560 --> 02:00:51.239 assent continues. But Dana was adamant on this show live 2600 02:00:51.920 --> 02:00:54.159 and I even repeated it. I said, so you're saying 2601 02:00:54.760 --> 02:00:57.720 they wanted to make him an Astro for life. Unfortunately, 2602 02:00:57.880 --> 02:01:00.239 with agents and stuff get involved. So that was a 2603 02:01:00.319 --> 02:01:03.239 plan and a plan all find and Danny until maybe 2604 02:01:03.279 --> 02:01:05.479 a detour comes in or a different agent. So I 2605 02:01:05.560 --> 02:01:08.479 think he's one hundred percent like that Tony Tenny talking 2606 02:01:08.479 --> 02:01:10.840 about that they have every intention like Kyle Tucker of 2607 02:01:10.960 --> 02:01:14.920 keeping Jeremy Panya, I would think that. I love the 2608 02:01:15.000 --> 02:01:16.880 fact that Dan admitted, well, we made a call right away, 2609 02:01:16.920 --> 02:01:18.640 that's his agent. Let him know. Open it up that 2610 02:01:18.680 --> 02:01:22.640 we're not shutting this off because Boris's reputation, the Astros 2611 02:01:22.680 --> 02:01:24.239 have a reputation. When you get the free agent, we're 2612 02:01:24.279 --> 02:01:25.720 not paying you that kind of money. That's been a 2613 02:01:25.760 --> 02:01:28.680 business model, and now Dana trying to bridge that gap 2614 02:01:28.760 --> 02:01:30.800 to let him know just because you're his agent and 2615 02:01:31.000 --> 02:01:33.840 we respect you, doesn't mean you're sprinting somewhere else. Because 2616 02:01:33.840 --> 02:01:36.319 you've represented quite a few guys that are here and 2617 02:01:36.720 --> 02:01:39.840 or part of this here, right, and whether they've stayed 2618 02:01:39.920 --> 02:01:43.680 or gone alto Vas of Boriskay, Right, he is, so 2619 02:01:43.920 --> 02:01:49.359 is McCalla Colors. We know the others that have left Korea, right, No, 2620 02:01:49.479 --> 02:01:52.159 Korea was not Was he was cream or was he No? 2621 02:01:52.359 --> 02:01:55.359 I'd have to look. I think Kara was Bregman, Right. 2622 02:01:55.520 --> 02:01:58.760 Isn't Bregman a Boris guy? Yeah, So he's had both. 2623 02:01:58.840 --> 02:02:00.680 So I love that, Danta says an I think Dana had. 2624 02:02:00.720 --> 02:02:06.880 The intention is absolutely it'll get tougher. It will get 2625 02:02:06.960 --> 02:02:11.720 tougher to Hunter Browns of Scott Boris guy, They're gonna 2626 02:02:11.720 --> 02:02:14.199 face that at some point. It'll get tougher. The better 2627 02:02:14.319 --> 02:02:16.479 page your plays, it's gonna get tougher. You got the 2628 02:02:16.640 --> 02:02:20.560 best or the most what's the best for the best, 2629 02:02:20.880 --> 02:02:22.680 he's been the best. He's been the best over as 2630 02:02:22.720 --> 02:02:24.800 far as getting people money, you've been the best made 2631 02:02:25.079 --> 02:02:27.800 agent in baseball or the one that can get every 2632 02:02:27.960 --> 02:02:31.439 ounce out of the turn up. But and so, but 2633 02:02:31.560 --> 02:02:33.640 to keep it open is fine. But the better playing 2634 02:02:33.680 --> 02:02:35.640 your plays, the more people are gonna be interested, the 2635 02:02:35.720 --> 02:02:37.039 more money that's on the table, you're gonna have to 2636 02:02:37.079 --> 02:02:39.600 face that. So I one hundred percent believe that Dana's 2637 02:02:39.600 --> 02:02:42.600 intentions are we want him here and again and to 2638 02:02:42.840 --> 02:02:44.760 extend him and make him an astro for a long time. 2639 02:02:45.239 --> 02:02:47.000 But there's a lot of factors involved. But I do 2640 02:02:47.199 --> 02:02:48.960 like the fact that he kept that at least the 2641 02:02:49.000 --> 02:02:52.319 communication lines open. That because you're Scott Boris doesn't mean 2642 02:02:52.359 --> 02:02:54.800 we're backing off from a guy we love and want 2643 02:02:54.840 --> 02:02:56.960 to be here. So there's gonna be certain things that 2644 02:02:57.119 --> 02:02:59.520 I hate to say it that Dana Brown's not gonna 2645 02:02:59.520 --> 02:03:02.800 be able to because of if the money grows past 2646 02:03:02.960 --> 02:03:07.279 his ability to sign him and then the history is 2647 02:03:07.479 --> 02:03:09.520 move on. But if if Jim Crane signs off, no 2648 02:03:09.560 --> 02:03:11.960 matter says you keep him here regardless of what it takes, well, 2649 02:03:12.000 --> 02:03:14.079 God bless him, and that's a great thing. So we'll 2650 02:03:14.079 --> 02:03:16.800 see what happens there. But I don't I don't think 2651 02:03:16.800 --> 02:03:19.159 there's any lie or any like oh that's not going 2652 02:03:19.199 --> 02:03:21.800 to happen. I believe that they all believe that that's 2653 02:03:21.840 --> 02:03:26.279 going to happen. But Scott Morris is a he negotiates 2654 02:03:26.279 --> 02:03:28.239 a little different, So you do have to face the 2655 02:03:28.279 --> 02:03:29.880 fact that while they want him here, that he may 2656 02:03:29.960 --> 02:03:31.000 not be if he continues this. 2657 02:03:31.439 --> 02:03:35.159 It seems to me that from listening to Dana, you 2658 02:03:35.239 --> 02:03:38.279 know what we just heard, there is a mutual interest 2659 02:03:38.319 --> 02:03:40.760 to get something done. That's that's what it feels like. 2660 02:03:40.800 --> 02:03:42.640 And I think the other part, as you mentioned Hunter Brown, 2661 02:03:43.319 --> 02:03:46.960 is we have a good discussion here, we get something 2662 02:03:47.079 --> 02:03:49.680 done here, then that gets the wheels moving on him. 2663 02:03:49.760 --> 02:03:52.199 You're one hundred percent correct, Dan, And you know how 2664 02:03:52.239 --> 02:03:55.479 we I think Dana. I think Dana should be in consideration. 2665 02:03:55.880 --> 02:03:57.279 I think the last couple of years he's done an 2666 02:03:57.279 --> 02:03:59.880 amazing job. Not because on the show we talked about it. 2667 02:04:00.159 --> 02:04:01.840 We've had we all have. We don't have to agree 2668 02:04:01.840 --> 02:04:03.520 with everything he says, and he doesn't have to agree 2669 02:04:03.520 --> 02:04:06.319 with the questions that are asked. He's been great to us, 2670 02:04:06.760 --> 02:04:09.880 and in truth, he's the way he's operating under these circumstances. 2671 02:04:09.960 --> 02:04:11.520 How can you not say he's in the executive of 2672 02:04:11.560 --> 02:04:14.520 your argument right now? You you absolutely have to, But 2673 02:04:15.159 --> 02:04:18.039 now you hit what you said that they well, what 2674 02:04:18.199 --> 02:04:20.079 was your point about Danny Brown with a hundred, that 2675 02:04:20.159 --> 02:04:22.680 they're that they wanted the good intentions, they want to 2676 02:04:22.720 --> 02:04:26.039 sign him and all and all. That's all. You're exactly right, 2677 02:04:26.520 --> 02:04:29.680 those good intends This relationship helps you with the other relationship, 2678 02:04:29.760 --> 02:04:32.439 of course it does, But in truth does it when 2679 02:04:32.520 --> 02:04:36.279 all is settled in? Do you really believe that Payna 2680 02:04:36.399 --> 02:04:39.800 and Hunter Brown together are going to have anything to 2681 02:04:39.880 --> 02:04:42.600 do with how Boris deals with this organization or how 2682 02:04:42.640 --> 02:04:45.560 they sign him. It's not. I mean, fine and dandy, 2683 02:04:46.039 --> 02:04:47.960 it's it sounds great and I'm with you, but the 2684 02:04:48.079 --> 02:04:51.600 reality of it is both of these cats right now 2685 02:04:52.039 --> 02:04:54.319 are on an assent that they are in the best 2686 02:04:54.399 --> 02:04:56.800 of the best in their positions in Major League Baseball. 2687 02:04:57.920 --> 02:05:00.399 I can tell you one thing, you know hard, it's 2688 02:05:00.399 --> 02:05:05.840 going to be signed both similar ages, right, yeah, similar so, 2689 02:05:06.000 --> 02:05:07.640 and I don't know that we'd have to look. I 2690 02:05:07.680 --> 02:05:09.479 don't have in front of you about you know, when 2691 02:05:09.560 --> 02:05:11.840 it comes to fruition. My point is, I think their 2692 02:05:11.880 --> 02:05:14.000 intentions are to keep their best players and to do it. 2693 02:05:14.600 --> 02:05:18.479 But let's look at reality. Reality is, regardless of your 2694 02:05:18.560 --> 02:05:22.279 relationship and good intentions and all that, we're opening up 2695 02:05:22.319 --> 02:05:25.439 the lines of communication. Didn't they say that about Didn't 2696 02:05:25.439 --> 02:05:27.960 we have the same feeling about Korea, Lines of communication, 2697 02:05:28.079 --> 02:05:30.079 all of it. I'm talking about both. It's not just 2698 02:05:30.159 --> 02:05:32.720 the astros. The lines of communicates good to keep them open. 2699 02:05:33.279 --> 02:05:35.640 I don't think that Paynia and Hunter Brown dealing with 2700 02:05:35.680 --> 02:05:38.000 the same agent and dealing with the astras have zero 2701 02:05:38.119 --> 02:05:41.920 to do with Oh, you got Painia, So so I'll 2702 02:05:41.920 --> 02:05:43.520 give you a Hunter Brown for a million less. That 2703 02:05:43.600 --> 02:05:45.479 ain't gonna happen, dude, It's just not. 2704 02:05:45.800 --> 02:05:49.199 No's how He's not going to allow for emotions to 2705 02:05:49.239 --> 02:05:51.920 come into this. But you know, with Hunter Brown, he's 2706 02:05:52.039 --> 02:05:54.840 entering into arbitration year number one, so he would be 2707 02:05:54.920 --> 02:05:57.239 a free agent a year after Painia. 2708 02:05:57.439 --> 02:05:59.399 Right, So in the same they'll be under if you 2709 02:05:59.439 --> 02:06:02.199 sign THEMOL long terms five six, seven years. They're in 2710 02:06:02.319 --> 02:06:06.159 the same umbrella of a pace gain right, the same area. 2711 02:06:06.279 --> 02:06:08.479 So I think the thought is that you seem like 2712 02:06:08.600 --> 02:06:11.720 you were having those conversations already with Pania, is that 2713 02:06:11.960 --> 02:06:14.039 maybe you are a little bit further down the field 2714 02:06:14.079 --> 02:06:16.159 to get it done. So then you get that done 2715 02:06:16.399 --> 02:06:19.399 and maybe you can avoid arbitration with a guy who 2716 02:06:19.520 --> 02:06:23.079 right now is making eight hundred and seven thousand two. 2717 02:06:23.359 --> 02:06:25.640 Now try to get one early. That becomes a bargain later, 2718 02:06:26.039 --> 02:06:27.279 and then if you can get the other one, and 2719 02:06:27.319 --> 02:06:29.319 it becomes he's making a lot of money at least. 2720 02:06:29.359 --> 02:06:31.680 And it kind of fits kind of with your not hell, 2721 02:06:31.680 --> 02:06:33.720 if you're not us healthy. You waited and got till 2722 02:06:33.760 --> 02:06:35.640 the end of it and got him towards free agency, 2723 02:06:35.640 --> 02:06:39.600 and he had his numbers produced, and dude, he breaks 2724 02:06:39.640 --> 02:06:41.279 the bank. So you got out in front at least 2725 02:06:41.319 --> 02:06:42.840 to buy some time there, and you know what I mean. 2726 02:06:42.920 --> 02:06:45.520 And same thing here. But all these things happen, and 2727 02:06:45.560 --> 02:06:48.439 while good intentions matter, you still got to deal with it. 2728 02:06:48.520 --> 02:06:51.479 And Hunter Brown ain't worried about the money somebody else 2729 02:06:51.520 --> 02:06:53.000 getting paid. He wants on his team. But when it 2730 02:06:53.039 --> 02:06:56.000 comes to him, he and Bors's gonna take care of 2731 02:06:56.520 --> 02:06:58.680 he and Boris and obviously Hope and make it great 2732 02:06:58.680 --> 02:07:00.439 for the organization. But what I'm saying is I don't 2733 02:07:00.439 --> 02:07:02.760 think the two matter. I think they're both individually going 2734 02:07:02.800 --> 02:07:04.199 to have to compartmentalize when you deal with it. 2735 02:07:05.199 --> 02:07:07.840 Six years twenty five per for Hunter Brown. You offer 2736 02:07:07.920 --> 02:07:09.439 that to him right now, he'd be crazy enough to 2737 02:07:09.520 --> 02:07:12.520 take it. He's making eight hundred and seven thousand dollars 2738 02:07:12.640 --> 02:07:12.920 right now. 2739 02:07:13.159 --> 02:07:16.199 Yeah, I mean, I get it. I get it, man, 2740 02:07:16.319 --> 02:07:19.439 these players, some of them are betting on themselves. Sometimes 2741 02:07:19.479 --> 02:07:22.119 it works, sometimes it doesn't. I would love that if 2742 02:07:22.159 --> 02:07:25.560 he'd say yes, that'd be great. The question is what 2743 02:07:25.760 --> 02:07:28.000 is his agent telling about what they think his value 2744 02:07:28.039 --> 02:07:30.840 will be if this continues. And all of them, Payne 2745 02:07:30.920 --> 02:07:33.159 and Hunter Brown, damn well know they think it's going 2746 02:07:33.199 --> 02:07:35.840 to continue, because that's why they're good players. Aside from 2747 02:07:35.880 --> 02:07:40.199 being talented, they work and they're confident in what they do. 2748 02:07:40.399 --> 02:07:43.359 So this doesn't feel for Hunter Brown and Jeremy Peney. 2749 02:07:43.359 --> 02:07:45.079 I don't think they're thinking, yeah, let me get it 2750 02:07:45.199 --> 02:07:46.520 right now, because I'm not sure I can do this 2751 02:07:46.640 --> 02:07:48.399 rest of my car. I think they're both thinking, you 2752 02:07:48.520 --> 02:07:51.359 better get me while the getting's good, because I am 2753 02:07:51.479 --> 02:07:54.239 going to hammer the bank, not the Astros. I'm sure 2754 02:07:54.239 --> 02:07:56.640 they both love to be here with the culture, but 2755 02:07:57.359 --> 02:08:01.319 I know this. Everybody wants to get there if it's 2756 02:08:01.359 --> 02:08:03.880 within a certain amount. One thing. If there's millions apart 2757 02:08:04.560 --> 02:08:08.800 Bregman Korea, guess what they do. They move on and 2758 02:08:08.920 --> 02:08:12.000 let's not very part of this. Even though he's not 2759 02:08:12.039 --> 02:08:14.359 a I don't think he's a Boris guy. There's a 2760 02:08:14.399 --> 02:08:17.800 guy coming to It's it's come come to Jesus time 2761 02:08:17.960 --> 02:08:20.720 with the left hander who's pitching. Well, you're gonna be 2762 02:08:20.760 --> 02:08:22.560 facing that before you face any of it. That's got 2763 02:08:22.640 --> 02:08:25.000 to be the priority first to figure out what you're 2764 02:08:25.039 --> 02:08:27.439 gonna do with him as we go to the second 2765 02:08:27.439 --> 02:08:28.680 half of the season, because I got news for you. 2766 02:08:28.720 --> 02:08:31.479 Ain't trading his ass. That didn't happen because you're going 2767 02:08:31.520 --> 02:08:33.680 all in on a world series. So you're gonna have 2768 02:08:33.720 --> 02:08:37.399 to face that long before Paynia and Hunter Brown get addressed. Yeah, 2769 02:08:37.439 --> 02:08:38.439 both Paynia and Brown. 2770 02:08:38.479 --> 02:08:40.439 If they get to arbitration this year, even if they 2771 02:08:40.479 --> 02:08:43.399 avoid it, that's at least ten million dollars per guy. 2772 02:08:43.880 --> 02:08:46.600 Oh yeah, So I mean that's why with with Brown, 2773 02:08:46.840 --> 02:08:48.640 I feel like you get that offer in front of 2774 02:08:48.720 --> 02:08:52.399 him quickly and you avoid that. Then the question is 2775 02:08:52.560 --> 02:08:54.560 will Scott Bors be the one reaching out or as 2776 02:08:54.600 --> 02:08:59.800 he said back and say, we wear no rush. 2777 02:09:00.239 --> 02:09:02.359 You know what I'm saying. But the client's always got 2778 02:09:02.439 --> 02:09:04.800 to buy into Boris because there's times I'm sure the 2779 02:09:04.840 --> 02:09:08.159 client said, no, dude, take yeah, be patient, dude, we're 2780 02:09:08.159 --> 02:09:10.039 going to get what we need to get. Be patient, 2781 02:09:10.199 --> 02:09:11.720 and that can be tough. But I always say I've 2782 02:09:11.720 --> 02:09:14.800 said on this a million times and maybe the ath 2783 02:09:14.920 --> 02:09:18.479 some athletes want it this way. The agent works for you. 2784 02:09:19.199 --> 02:09:21.520 You do not work for the agent. Yeah, you pay 2785 02:09:21.600 --> 02:09:24.640 the agent. You're four to six whatever it is, your percentage, 2786 02:09:24.640 --> 02:09:29.199 you're paying him. You pay him. He doesn't have you know, 2787 02:09:29.279 --> 02:09:31.560 he's not the guy when the decision comes down. You 2788 02:09:32.439 --> 02:09:35.079 employ him. He doesn't employ you. Now, he can choose 2789 02:09:35.159 --> 02:09:36.399 not to take you on as a client, but once 2790 02:09:36.439 --> 02:09:39.199 he takes on, you're paying him a big time salary. 2791 02:09:39.840 --> 02:09:42.119 With the money you make to take care of your stuff. 2792 02:09:42.520 --> 02:09:44.359 You make the decision. That's why when I all blame 2793 02:09:44.359 --> 02:09:46.319 it on the agent. Yeah, well, if you're a grown 2794 02:09:46.359 --> 02:09:48.239 ask man and you're the one who hired him, don't 2795 02:09:48.239 --> 02:09:51.039 give him power of attorney. You make the decision, and 2796 02:09:51.119 --> 02:09:53.159 then the agent has to live by that. But he 2797 02:09:53.279 --> 02:09:54.880 can be tempting to just sit there and let him 2798 02:09:54.960 --> 02:09:57.880 run the show because he's had such success getting guys 2799 02:09:58.039 --> 02:10:04.479 like Soto paid the lot of money. We'll see in 2800 02:10:04.560 --> 02:10:06.720 a perfect world from ber Hunter, Brown and Jeremy Painter 2801 02:10:06.760 --> 02:10:10.840 all here, and in the realistic world, the chances are slim, 2802 02:10:10.960 --> 02:10:15.760 and I won't say none but that'll take a lot 2803 02:10:15.840 --> 02:10:19.000 of doing and a little bit of a step outside 2804 02:10:19.039 --> 02:10:21.079 of business model, wouldn't you If this is the assent 2805 02:10:21.279 --> 02:10:24.279 for all three of these guys at this level continues. 2806 02:10:24.159 --> 02:10:26.840 Astro is gonna have some money to spend after this offseason. 2807 02:10:26.880 --> 02:10:28.680 Because you get Montero, you get to break you off 2808 02:10:28.720 --> 02:10:31.000 the books. And then the other rule that you know 2809 02:10:31.159 --> 02:10:32.680 is obviously one that you put on the side of 2810 02:10:32.680 --> 02:10:33.359 the refrigerator. 2811 02:10:33.760 --> 02:10:36.479 Never give away power of attorney. Rocky found that out. 2812 02:10:36.600 --> 02:10:38.119 You shouldn't do that at any point in time in 2813 02:10:38.239 --> 02:10:40.439 your life until it's on the bed and somebody else 2814 02:10:40.520 --> 02:10:43.199 needs to take over. Yeah, and these athletes that do 2815 02:10:43.279 --> 02:10:46.840 it find themselves about twenty five million dollars less rich 2816 02:10:46.880 --> 02:10:48.880 when they're done. If they get with the wrong scum. 2817 02:10:49.359 --> 02:10:51.640 They don't have to. That's not boris. But there are 2818 02:10:51.720 --> 02:10:53.279 some out there that have stole plenty of money from 2819 02:10:53.319 --> 02:10:55.960 athletes given power attorney. Ray to anybody, when you're that 2820 02:10:56.159 --> 02:10:58.880 bad idea and you want to wash your hands of 2821 02:10:58.960 --> 02:11:01.399 any responsibility, I'll let him think about it all. Don't 2822 02:11:01.720 --> 02:11:03.279 get to a point when the decision has made you 2823 02:11:03.399 --> 02:11:06.239 keep that power or you're you're you're you're going down 2824 02:11:06.319 --> 02:11:10.119 a road that that's that's fall off a cliff.

Tys Simpson is going to 2880 02:14:13.399 --> 02:14:16.640 maybe be the quarterback at Alabama. The Manning Passing Academy 2881 02:14:16.680 --> 02:14:20.960 happening over the weekend down in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Everybody's losing 2882 02:14:21.000 --> 02:14:23.760 their mind over this throw that Ty Simpson made. And 2883 02:14:23.880 --> 02:14:26.000 I guess it was sixty yards in the air, whatever 2884 02:14:26.119 --> 02:14:28.920 it was. But Sean, I mean, you coach quarterbacks. 2885 02:14:29.279 --> 02:14:30.359 You know that. 2886 02:14:30.760 --> 02:14:33.640 You know the the underwear Olympics. That is the off 2887 02:14:33.720 --> 02:14:36.319 season of everybody in shorts and T shirts. And you 2888 02:14:36.399 --> 02:14:39.439 see videos like this, and I understand that it can 2889 02:14:39.520 --> 02:14:42.479 make people excited for potential, but when you see things 2890 02:14:42.520 --> 02:14:44.640 like that, are you just kind of like, Okay, it 2891 02:14:44.720 --> 02:14:46.800 was a nice throw, but it means nothing in the 2892 02:14:46.840 --> 02:14:47.279 long run. 2893 02:14:49.399 --> 02:14:53.520 Every Division one quarterback in this country in a pair 2894 02:14:53.520 --> 02:14:57.079 of shorts and a T shirt. I'm not listen. I've 2895 02:14:57.239 --> 02:15:00.680 coached the Manning Passing Academy. It's all some great time. 2896 02:15:00.720 --> 02:15:02.640 They're doing great things a ton of kids, and the 2897 02:15:02.720 --> 02:15:06.079 kids love it because the college counselors are their coaching them. 2898 02:15:06.199 --> 02:15:09.920 I mean, the college quarterbacks, counselors, their former coaches, players, 2899 02:15:10.199 --> 02:15:12.000 all this are there and the mannings it's a great, 2900 02:15:13.159 --> 02:15:16.039 a great event, and it's you know, it's it can 2901 02:15:16.800 --> 02:15:18.720 with the people that are waltzing around there. It's you know, 2902 02:15:19.159 --> 02:15:21.399 hanging down. These said their heroes are there and the 2903 02:15:21.479 --> 02:15:24.239 quarterback they want to go in there. Kid is going 2904 02:15:24.319 --> 02:15:25.680 to be a junior, right, kid is going to be 2905 02:15:25.720 --> 02:15:29.880 a junior in high school? Right? Or people who watched 2906 02:15:29.920 --> 02:15:32.119 Simpson play in high school now they're like, man, I 2907 02:15:32.119 --> 02:15:33.960 can't wait to go to Alabama. That kid's all. I 2908 02:15:34.039 --> 02:15:36.199 get it all, but we we got We see it 2909 02:15:36.239 --> 02:15:38.239 all the time at the combine. We see it in 2910 02:15:38.319 --> 02:15:41.560 a guy's private workout. Zach Wilson is the perfect example 2911 02:15:41.640 --> 02:15:46.680 of that. Is that I don't know many quarterbacks in college. 2912 02:15:47.159 --> 02:15:48.680 We're to the point now, I got well, I train 2913 02:15:49.039 --> 02:15:50.760 a handful of high school guys can drop back and 2914 02:15:50.800 --> 02:15:54.520 throw its fifty five sixty yards halfway through their warm 2915 02:15:54.600 --> 02:15:56.840 up and landed to a receiver running down the right side. 2916 02:15:57.000 --> 02:15:58.720 First off, we never have to throw a ball unless 2917 02:15:58.720 --> 02:16:01.960 it's a broken play. Ever, we'll never throw a ball 2918 02:16:02.000 --> 02:16:05.680 sixty yards unless it's a scramble. A hail Mary or 2919 02:16:05.720 --> 02:16:07.520 you're scrambling around. Have to make plays and you have 2920 02:16:07.560 --> 02:16:10.199 to do it like Cordell Stewart did years ago, Doug 2921 02:16:10.319 --> 02:16:13.359 Flutie did against Notre Dame. Scramble around by time and 2922 02:16:13.399 --> 02:16:16.560 throw it seventy two yards. That those are nice, but 2923 02:16:17.000 --> 02:16:18.359 or when you got to throw it from the thirty 2924 02:16:18.399 --> 02:16:20.640 five yard line for a hail mary. Yes, but in 2925 02:16:20.760 --> 02:16:23.840 a drop back throw and it's Brian Billick did a 2926 02:16:23.880 --> 02:16:26.479 study on this. It was like, forty four yards is 2927 02:16:26.520 --> 02:16:28.520 the perfect throw? Five yards on the sideline on a 2928 02:16:28.560 --> 02:16:30.199 go route. I don't even know it was. It just 2929 02:16:30.239 --> 02:16:32.559 a deep momb on the right. Then throw a drop 2930 02:16:32.639 --> 02:16:34.280 back throw five and a hit post. Yeah, you throw 2931 02:16:34.319 --> 02:16:36.360 five or a big post, whatever it is. So you're 2932 02:16:36.360 --> 02:16:39.040 throwing the ball down there, it's forty four yards in 2933 02:16:39.120 --> 02:16:41.879 about in drifting five yards fading him to the sideline. 2934 02:16:43.200 --> 02:16:45.360 You're rarely on a deep ball when you drop back 2935 02:16:45.399 --> 02:16:48.079 throw on time to a receiver run and scoed one 2936 02:16:48.120 --> 02:16:49.840 two three, four five or from the gun one two three, 2937 02:16:49.920 --> 02:16:53.120 hitch and throw. It's a forty five forty seven, forty 2938 02:16:53.159 --> 02:16:55.440 four yard throw and then they run after the catch. 2939 02:16:56.079 --> 02:16:57.600 That's all fine, And I know it looks good and 2940 02:16:57.719 --> 02:17:01.719 everybody hypes because on video. Make no mistake, I doubt 2941 02:17:01.760 --> 02:17:05.280 that there's a starting quarterback well in the NFL. I 2942 02:17:05.399 --> 02:17:08.239 know there's not, but a starting quarterback in the in 2943 02:17:08.319 --> 02:17:11.000 college football at a Division I school that can't drop 2944 02:17:11.079 --> 02:17:12.680 back and throw at fifty five sixty yards and hit 2945 02:17:12.680 --> 02:17:14.639 a guy and striding shorts and a T shirt. It's 2946 02:17:14.719 --> 02:17:18.600 fun and it's all hype and hyperbole. It's every everybody 2947 02:17:18.719 --> 02:17:21.159 I know that plays a position. I'm coaching a bunch 2948 02:17:21.200 --> 02:17:23.319 of them. Now, there's sixteen seventy you can make the throw? Now, 2949 02:17:23.399 --> 02:17:24.879 can you make the throw under the reskt and hit 2950 02:17:24.959 --> 02:17:26.719 the mouth and then make a deep dig throw and 2951 02:17:26.799 --> 02:17:28.559 come back and hit this and make that throw? Those 2952 02:17:28.600 --> 02:17:30.399 are fine, But can you make a curl route throw 2953 02:17:30.479 --> 02:17:33.079 fifteen times over the course of Oh, you're thirteen out 2954 02:17:33.120 --> 02:17:35.799 of fifteen under eleven on eleven Druss? It's fine because 2955 02:17:35.879 --> 02:17:38.920 offseason I get the I get it, but let's not 2956 02:17:39.000 --> 02:17:40.799 make a big deal over it because the four guys 2957 02:17:40.840 --> 02:17:42.680 behind him at Alabama can do the same thing in 2958 02:17:42.719 --> 02:17:46.000 shorts and a T shirt. I assure you lower those expects. 2959 02:17:46.079 --> 02:17:48.079 Don't put that pressure. Hey through its sixty yards in 2960 02:17:48.120 --> 02:17:50.200 a manning camp and shorts and a T shirt, and 2961 02:17:50.360 --> 02:17:51.680 he's going to be a great player. He may be 2962 02:17:51.760 --> 02:17:55.000 a great player. It'll have absolutely nothing to do with 2963 02:17:55.200 --> 02:17:57.559 sixty yard throw in a pair of shorts and a 2964 02:17:57.639 --> 02:18:04.639 T shirt and a camp. Not playing eleven on eleven. Hell, 2965 02:18:04.680 --> 02:18:06.399 I damn near maybe still be able to do that now. 2966 02:18:06.440 --> 02:18:08.719 I can't move it for squat. I ain't gonna run it. 2967 02:18:09.280 --> 02:18:11.559 But my point is is that we make a big 2968 02:18:11.639 --> 02:18:16.200 deal over it and the expectations. Judge, I'll find out 2969 02:18:16.239 --> 02:18:18.040 what kind of skill set of guy's got eleven on eleven. 2970 02:18:18.159 --> 02:18:19.760 All of them look good in shorts and a T shirt. 2971 02:18:19.840 --> 02:18:20.559 They can all throw it. 2972 02:18:21.000 --> 02:18:24.200 Remember, kids, you're always working eleven on eleven. It's never 2973 02:18:24.319 --> 02:18:26.879 routes on air. You heard it here first. 2974 02:18:27.719 --> 02:18:30.040 Never routes on air, because if you're just throwing it 2975 02:18:30.120 --> 02:18:34.319 to throw it, those are wasted reps. Why the why 2976 02:18:34.479 --> 02:18:36.399 is always why are you throwing that ball to that 2977 02:18:36.479 --> 02:18:39.120 curl route? If you're playing eleven on eleven, you'll have 2978 02:18:39.159 --> 02:18:40.920 an answer for me. You're always thinking football if you're 2979 02:18:40.920 --> 02:18:44.719 playing routes on air and it's me throwing to no defense, 2980 02:18:46.040 --> 02:18:50.280 I don't think on Sundays or Saturdays, did we play. 2981 02:18:51.959 --> 02:18:53.920 Did we play routes on air? I do believe there's 2982 02:18:53.920 --> 02:18:56.680 eleven defenders you've got to deal with just a hunch. 2983 02:18:57.079 --> 02:18:58.879 I don't think I've seen a game like that unless 2984 02:18:58.920 --> 02:19:01.559 it's a Pro Bowl seven on a flag football gold 2985 02:19:01.639 --> 02:19:04.520 medal game. Seven on seven could ruin a guy too 2986 02:19:04.520 --> 02:19:06.680 if you're taking bad reps because you don't understand the 2987 02:19:06.840 --> 02:19:11.680 process of a pass rush. But good reps matter. Scared 2988 02:19:11.719 --> 02:19:14.639 money don't make money. Empty reps don't aren't good reps. 2989 02:19:14.799 --> 02:19:17.360 So there you go and throwing it fifty five or 2990 02:19:17.399 --> 02:19:20.639 sixty yards to a guy in shorts and a T shirt.

I mean it 3038 02:21:30.319 --> 02:21:31.440 comes with the house. Yep. 3039 02:21:31.680 --> 02:21:34.079 It's in the NFL, it's in Major League Baseball, it's 3040 02:21:34.120 --> 02:21:37.360 in the NBA. Well, Malik Beasley is one of the 3041 02:21:37.479 --> 02:21:40.719 top free agents this offseason, and he is part of 3042 02:21:40.760 --> 02:21:44.959 a federal investigation right now because what got this started 3043 02:21:45.600 --> 02:21:48.799 was a prominent sports book which was not named in 3044 02:21:48.879 --> 02:21:54.000 the story reportedly detected unusual betting activity on Beasley props 3045 02:21:54.440 --> 02:21:57.559 as are in early twenty twenty four. It was actually 3046 02:21:58.200 --> 02:22:01.280 January of twenty twenty five for when it was a 3047 02:22:01.360 --> 02:22:04.799 game between the Bucks and the Portland Trailblazers where Beasley 3048 02:22:06.200 --> 02:22:09.520 was recording less than two and a half rebounds, and 3049 02:22:09.639 --> 02:22:13.159 it moved significantly before the game, going from around plus 3050 02:22:13.280 --> 02:22:17.920 one twenty to minus two fifty after an under experienced 3051 02:22:17.959 --> 02:22:21.760 a high amount of action and Beasley that night recorded 3052 02:22:21.959 --> 02:22:25.760 six rebounds. Now, his attorney has told ESPN an investigation 3053 02:22:25.920 --> 02:22:28.959 is not a charge and that my client has afforded 3054 02:22:29.000 --> 02:22:32.200 the same right to presumption of innocence as anyone else. 3055 02:22:32.319 --> 02:22:36.200 The NBA says they are cooperating with federal prosecutors on 3056 02:22:36.639 --> 02:22:40.079 this case. Now, some people might look at this and say, 3057 02:22:40.280 --> 02:22:43.719 see with you know, gambling just everywhere, Now this is 3058 02:22:43.799 --> 02:22:46.200 going to happen. You're going to have you know where 3059 02:22:46.399 --> 02:22:48.719 you know guys are on the take again, guys you know, 3060 02:22:48.840 --> 02:22:51.959 shave points, whatever it might be. I go the opposite way. 3061 02:22:52.719 --> 02:22:55.840 It's reasons like this or why they're not going to happen. 3062 02:22:55.920 --> 02:23:00.479 Because the sports books is for anybody that as any 3063 02:23:00.559 --> 02:23:03.399 type of notion about them. Whenever they see things like this, 3064 02:23:04.040 --> 02:23:07.200 they immediately somebody comes up and you know they they 3065 02:23:07.280 --> 02:23:07.879 can track you. 3066 02:23:08.120 --> 02:23:10.040 They know what your action is. The sports books and 3067 02:23:10.040 --> 02:23:11.719 the way they track it, in the way the NFL 3068 02:23:11.840 --> 02:23:14.000 or NBA or Major League Baseball will and can and 3069 02:23:14.079 --> 02:23:18.559 does track it is not to be messed with. I'm 3070 02:23:18.600 --> 02:23:21.159 just telling you. And when you wake up and you 3071 02:23:21.239 --> 02:23:23.200 think that you can beat the system, they will find you. 3072 02:23:23.799 --> 02:23:26.440 It always does, and they they're looking and the more 3073 02:23:27.040 --> 02:23:30.280 attention meaning okay, let's say gambling and betting is legal 3074 02:23:30.319 --> 02:23:33.799 in all fifty states, they're gonna be on high alert too, 3075 02:23:33.799 --> 02:23:36.440 because they don't want to get cheated. They don't want 3076 02:23:36.479 --> 02:23:38.600 to The books don't want to get cheated either. They 3077 02:23:38.639 --> 02:23:40.920 don't want you to start to collude with your guys, 3078 02:23:40.959 --> 02:23:43.000 say hey, do this, do this, do this. Then they're 3079 02:23:43.000 --> 02:23:44.840 they're losing because when it comes to the bottom line, 3080 02:23:44.920 --> 02:23:46.840 like most business, they're gonna make they're gonna protect their 3081 02:23:47.239 --> 02:23:50.280 they're protecting them and in the process they're gonna protect 3082 02:23:50.280 --> 02:23:52.760 the player from the self. I am completed in complete 3083 02:23:52.920 --> 02:23:56.520 agreement with you, in disagreement that because somebody like you 3084 02:23:56.639 --> 02:23:58.840 can find it if you want to do it. They'll 3085 02:23:58.920 --> 02:24:01.959 just go get a bookie and if they're dumb enough, 3086 02:24:02.399 --> 02:24:03.479 they'll do it themselves. 3087 02:24:03.520 --> 02:24:03.840 And know that. 3088 02:24:03.920 --> 02:24:06.040 I mean, if they're that dumb and get found out. 3089 02:24:06.399 --> 02:24:08.639 I don't know what Beasley did and that's why I'm 3090 02:24:08.639 --> 02:24:10.120 not going to bury him yet til I know his 3091 02:24:10.360 --> 02:24:13.600 lawyer is exactly correct. He does deserve being investigated. Doesn't 3092 02:24:13.600 --> 02:24:16.280 mean you're guilty. That's we automatically think, whoo, whether's smoke, 3093 02:24:16.319 --> 02:24:18.840 there's fire, and in some cases there may very well be. 3094 02:24:19.280 --> 02:24:21.799 It'd be hard for me to believe. And then again, 3095 02:24:22.000 --> 02:24:24.879 it's not hard because we've seen some stupidity, and I 3096 02:24:25.040 --> 02:24:28.639 understand the hypocrisy of the pro sports about gambling and 3097 02:24:28.719 --> 02:24:31.760 then having sponsors on outfield walls or on you know 3098 02:24:31.799 --> 02:24:34.239 what I'm saying, or on uniforms or whatever we're doing. Now, 3099 02:24:34.559 --> 02:24:36.760 there's a bit of hypocrisy there. They're getting rich off 3100 02:24:36.760 --> 02:24:38.760 the billions and getting on you for betting on a 3101 02:24:38.799 --> 02:24:41.399 fantasy team eight bucks. Okay, as a player, but I 3102 02:24:41.479 --> 02:24:43.559 get it. It's said the rule is set, so you 3103 02:24:43.639 --> 02:24:45.719 got to live by it, and it's basically a law 3104 02:24:45.799 --> 02:24:48.360 in pro sports as we've seen. But when it comes 3105 02:24:48.399 --> 02:24:52.079 to this, they will find you if there's active, if 3106 02:24:52.120 --> 02:24:55.159 there's activity that hasn't been going on, Hey, your bank 3107 02:24:55.200 --> 02:24:57.079 can find if it's that's weird activity, you weren't in 3108 02:24:57.120 --> 02:24:59.440 that state, distay, and you can't use your debit card 3109 02:24:59.440 --> 02:25:01.680 in the next day over because yesterday you're using it 3110 02:25:01.680 --> 02:25:03.760 in a grocery store and they flag it and they 3111 02:25:03.840 --> 02:25:05.079 let you know, and you're like, oh, now you've got 3112 02:25:05.159 --> 02:25:07.799 to go through the hassle of Okay, I gotta wait too. 3113 02:25:08.040 --> 02:25:09.959 It's a pain in the ass. But they watch it 3114 02:25:10.040 --> 02:25:12.559 for a reason. Even sometimes you feel like you got 3115 02:25:12.639 --> 02:25:15.040 to tell them you're traveling. So it's're not getting gas 3116 02:25:15.159 --> 02:25:18.639 in five different states. But in this same thing, dude, 3117 02:25:18.680 --> 02:25:23.200 it's they listen, start talking about golf and on your phone, 3118 02:25:23.319 --> 02:25:26.079 on your phone, a golf ads going to show up. 3119 02:25:27.079 --> 02:25:30.280 It just is start talking about so on this and 3120 02:25:30.399 --> 02:25:32.079 you're actually putting it in that They know how to 3121 02:25:32.159 --> 02:25:34.959 track these that's what they do, and they pay people 3122 02:25:35.040 --> 02:25:37.239 a lot of money to do it. So I don't 3123 02:25:37.280 --> 02:25:39.239 know what Beasley did, and he deserves the right for 3124 02:25:39.360 --> 02:25:41.959 us to find out the truth. If he did do it, 3125 02:25:42.440 --> 02:25:45.520 you can't be any dumber than that. Yeah, I don't 3126 02:25:45.520 --> 02:25:46.840 care if it was one hundred bucks or a hundred 3127 02:25:46.840 --> 02:25:48.920 thousand bucks. You can't be there. I know I'll beat 3128 02:25:48.959 --> 02:25:51.360 this system because if there's crazy movement, they look in 3129 02:25:51.440 --> 02:25:53.639 and then all of a sudden there's a trail. There's 3130 02:25:53.680 --> 02:25:58.680 always a trail. That act that said, they do it 3131 02:25:58.719 --> 02:26:00.360 when you're setting there in person, and do it if 3132 02:26:00.399 --> 02:26:02.559 you're sitting there and you're away from it, do it there. 3133 02:26:02.920 --> 02:26:04.479 And I don't the reason I said him, but any 3134 02:26:04.479 --> 02:26:05.840 of us would be dumb to say, hey man, I 3135 02:26:05.879 --> 02:26:08.879 think I'm gonna do this and change this and and boom, 3136 02:26:09.120 --> 02:26:11.280 it's a flashing neon light for them. And then you 3137 02:26:11.360 --> 02:26:13.719 know what they do. They dive deeper. And once that 3138 02:26:13.879 --> 02:26:16.399 dive starts, brother, if you're guilty, they will get you. 3139 02:26:16.680 --> 02:26:19.680 So we can have all the argument we want on 3140 02:26:20.399 --> 02:26:23.479 the hypocrisy of pro sports at times with this. But 3141 02:26:23.600 --> 02:26:25.399 on the other side, I'm with you. If you're gonna 3142 02:26:25.399 --> 02:26:27.079 if you're gonna gamble and you're addicted to it, you're 3143 02:26:27.079 --> 02:26:28.719 gonna do it whether it's available to you a mile 3144 02:26:28.719 --> 02:26:31.680 away or one hundred miles away. But the more you 3145 02:26:31.799 --> 02:26:34.280 start to see this appen, players get scared thinking and 3146 02:26:34.360 --> 02:26:36.600 I'm gonna lose twenty five million dollars. What if they 3147 02:26:36.639 --> 02:26:39.719 suspend me, kick me out a league. Yeah, it's it's 3148 02:26:39.760 --> 02:26:41.840 not why. You don't need to do that. And if 3149 02:26:41.879 --> 02:26:43.639 you ever were going to try to cheat the system, 3150 02:26:45.799 --> 02:26:47.559 I'm not giving him any ideas, but there's a way 3151 02:26:47.600 --> 02:26:50.239 to do it without you punching a button yourself, or 3152 02:26:50.399 --> 02:26:53.399 could just just silly, right, silly, don't try to beat 3153 02:26:53.399 --> 02:26:55.760 their system because over the long haul, they're gonna get you, 3154 02:26:55.799 --> 02:26:58.319 and when it's a crazy movement, they'll get you. And 3155 02:26:58.360 --> 02:27:01.239 as a pro athlete, there's the risk is not worth 3156 02:27:01.280 --> 02:27:03.040 the reward. There's two fail saves here. 3157 02:27:03.159 --> 02:27:06.000 Number one, as I said, they're really good at seeing 3158 02:27:06.200 --> 02:27:09.319 when it looks like something is afloat, in no question. 3159 02:27:09.399 --> 02:27:12.000 The other as well, as it's a highly regulated industry 3160 02:27:12.639 --> 02:27:15.520 that is very good at not giving away their money. 3161 02:27:17.559 --> 02:27:22.280 Not a dime, okay. They they know how to make 3162 02:27:22.360 --> 02:27:24.159 it and they know how to keep it, and they 3163 02:27:24.200 --> 02:27:26.680 know how to prevent from them getting hammered with it. 3164 02:27:26.799 --> 02:27:29.760 And there's people who deal with sharps that have a 3165 02:27:29.840 --> 02:27:32.559 lot of money. Those people I've found out over the weekend, 3166 02:27:32.639 --> 02:27:33.639 they get different odds. 3167 02:27:34.840 --> 02:27:36.799 Of course they do, because you're willing to put your 3168 02:27:36.799 --> 02:27:39.399 put in more yes, those guys who move the line 3169 02:27:40.159 --> 02:27:42.559 and change the whole course of it. Yes, they get 3170 02:27:42.600 --> 02:27:44.840 different odds. And that's why you'll see these big sports 3171 02:27:44.879 --> 02:27:48.920 betters shop their their services to certain I want this one, 3172 02:27:48.959 --> 02:27:50.239 I want this, and I want this, and well what 3173 02:27:50.319 --> 02:27:52.079 am I getting on this? Oh we'll give you an 3174 02:27:52.079 --> 02:27:54.600 extra half a point. Oh cool, then you'll take my 3175 02:27:54.799 --> 02:27:58.639 ten million bucks. Of course, it's called negotiations in smart business. 3176 02:28:00.040 --> 02:28:02.440 I had one, I mean, and sometimes they lose at 3177 02:28:02.479 --> 02:28:04.559 it and they don't get their bonus at their casito 3178 02:28:04.879 --> 02:28:06.639 and hope that the next time. Yet the guy that 3179 02:28:06.799 --> 02:28:09.079 the very guy that hammers them and beats them because 3180 02:28:09.120 --> 02:28:11.520 he's a sharp is the guy they welcome back into 3181 02:28:11.520 --> 02:28:14.280 the casito in the sportsbook because they're saying, he got 3182 02:28:14.360 --> 02:28:16.920 us one time, and we're gonna get him. But they 3183 02:28:16.959 --> 02:28:19.360 do regulate, they watch it closely. If you're ever going 3184 02:28:19.399 --> 02:28:21.319 to try to beat a system, guess what, that ain't 3185 02:28:21.360 --> 02:28:25.760 the one. It's just not every little hint, nook and 3186 02:28:25.840 --> 02:28:28.840 cranny they will find. I hope Malik Beasley did not 3187 02:28:28.959 --> 02:28:31.239 do this, because you don't need that. Number two is 3188 02:28:31.520 --> 02:28:34.159 too much. There's too much money for you to make 3189 02:28:34.200 --> 02:28:36.520 a couple. And I understand people like the challenge. Find 3190 02:28:36.559 --> 02:28:38.879 a different challenge. If that's the case, let's hope that 3191 02:28:38.959 --> 02:28:41.680 he wasn't doing that. Get your thrills somewhere else, no doubt. 3192 02:28:42.040 --> 02:28:44.360 All Right, the Astros things have been really good. Just 3193 02:28:44.479 --> 02:28:46.319 how good were they over the weekend. 3194 02:28:46.399 --> 02:28:48.799 We'll discuss that as we close out the Monday edition 3195 02:28:48.879 --> 02:28:51.479 of the Sean Salisbury Shows Sports Talk seven ninety. 3196 02:28:53.440 --> 02:28:57.600 Let the celebration start war Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk 3197 02:28:57.680 --> 02:28:58.280 seven ninety. 3198 02:29:00.959 --> 02:29:04.239 Jabari Smith Junior five year, one hundred and twenty two 3199 02:29:04.319 --> 02:29:08.360 million dollar extension with the Rockets someone three two one 3200 02:29:08.399 --> 02:29:10.920 two five seven ninety. The next three guys to go 3201 02:29:11.079 --> 02:29:14.200 for the Astros this week are gonna be Colton Gordon Tomorrow, 3202 02:29:14.280 --> 02:29:17.879 Hunter Brown on Wednesday, and then Brandon Walker or Brandon 3203 02:29:17.959 --> 02:29:23.239 Walter on not the guy from Barstool, Brandon Walter on Thursday. 3204 02:29:23.479 --> 02:29:26.440 And then you get the Dodgers series where Fromber will 3205 02:29:26.479 --> 02:29:27.760 throw during that series. 3206 02:29:28.280 --> 02:29:31.799 That almost feels like an LA trip way that's over 3207 02:29:31.879 --> 02:29:34.520 the July fourth weekend, and uh uh man, that'd be 3208 02:29:34.600 --> 02:29:37.760 a fun trip. Really wouldn't, even though I mean, you 3209 02:29:37.840 --> 02:29:39.520 know it's I know you're getting on a plane and 3210 02:29:39.559 --> 02:29:41.399 all that travel and it's a pain in the ass 3211 02:29:41.440 --> 02:29:43.079 because there's so many p It's supposed to be a 3212 02:29:43.120 --> 02:29:46.360 record travel weekend or week this week, so I don't know. 3213 02:29:46.440 --> 02:29:48.200 Every year they say there's a record of some of 3214 02:29:48.319 --> 02:29:51.280 some sort. But that'd be a fun series to be 3215 02:29:51.399 --> 02:29:54.959 at Chavez Ravine watching the Astros and the Dodgers play 3216 02:29:55.360 --> 02:29:57.760 over the fourth weekend with fireworks at the stadium. That 3217 02:29:57.799 --> 02:29:59.959 would be really cool. It's gonna be anybody that's doing 3218 02:30:00.319 --> 02:30:03.719 good on you man, that's all have you seen? Huh Yeah? 3219 02:30:04.559 --> 02:30:08.200 Love that cut. But it's a well, they're about to 3220 02:30:08.200 --> 02:30:09.959 get a load of seeing the Astros too. This is 3221 02:30:09.959 --> 02:30:11.840 gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun pitching matchups. 3222 02:30:12.040 --> 02:30:14.120 Well, it's also I mean, for what you just did 3223 02:30:14.319 --> 02:30:16.719 this past week where you beat a Phillies team who's 3224 02:30:16.760 --> 02:30:18.719 really good, just took two out of three from the 3225 02:30:18.799 --> 02:30:22.280 Braves over the weekend in Atlanta, and then you took 3226 02:30:22.319 --> 02:30:24.079 on a Cubs team that was the same as you 3227 02:30:24.239 --> 02:30:26.799 record wise, and you were able to take two out 3228 02:30:26.840 --> 02:30:30.639 of three from them and able to have a good 3229 02:30:30.680 --> 02:30:33.760 amount of offense on Friday, not so much on Saturday, 3230 02:30:33.840 --> 02:30:34.959 in just enough yesterday. 3231 02:30:35.000 --> 02:30:37.360 Yeah, and you know what's great too, is that. Don't 3232 02:30:37.399 --> 02:30:40.360 kid yourself. The Dodgers know who these astros are, and 3233 02:30:40.479 --> 02:30:42.559 so does major League Baseball. Maybe we had a question 3234 02:30:42.680 --> 02:30:44.559 early of what they were gonna be like this year. 3235 02:30:45.120 --> 02:30:49.280 They know exactly what you're in for, as does everybody 3236 02:30:49.360 --> 02:30:51.959 else in both the American and National League, of what 3237 02:30:52.079 --> 02:30:55.920 you're getting out of these astros. And there's a different 3238 02:30:56.040 --> 02:30:59.079 I mean, they've always had this great grind. There's a delivererent, 3239 02:30:59.200 --> 02:31:00.920 a different belief for me and them. I don't know 3240 02:31:01.000 --> 02:31:02.879 what it is, and I'm trying to put my finger 3241 02:31:02.959 --> 02:31:04.840 because I don't know. From my point of view, good 3242 02:31:04.879 --> 02:31:08.760 pitching and all the stuff that's obvious, but I don't know. 3243 02:31:09.239 --> 02:31:11.559 Do I maybe feel like that they're tired of hearing 3244 02:31:11.639 --> 02:31:13.959 that they did. Maybe the Ashles get the point where well, 3245 02:31:14.000 --> 02:31:15.799 this guy's gone, this guy's gone, and they just keep 3246 02:31:15.879 --> 02:31:18.200 going that. It's like, well stay tuned, you know what 3247 02:31:18.479 --> 02:31:20.440 it's weird. Jake Myers, I feel like he got tired 3248 02:31:20.440 --> 02:31:23.639 of hearing people say can't hit right. And sometimes I'm 3249 02:31:23.639 --> 02:31:26.319 telling you, I know in mic it is a factor. 3250 02:31:26.360 --> 02:31:27.920 And when you say, well, don't listen to people say 3251 02:31:28.000 --> 02:31:30.280 some people we just you hear whether you want to 3252 02:31:30.360 --> 02:31:32.200 or not, because somebody will make sure they let you know. 3253 02:31:32.920 --> 02:31:35.399 But I don't know. There's just a different for me, 3254 02:31:35.520 --> 02:31:37.959 a different confidence about this team. I don't know if 3255 02:31:38.000 --> 02:31:41.959 maybe the bullpen makes me feel a security blanket. I 3256 02:31:42.000 --> 02:31:44.159 don't know. If it's just that guys continue to elevate 3257 02:31:44.200 --> 02:31:46.520 their play. I don't know if it's just the emergence 3258 02:31:46.559 --> 02:31:49.799 of Jake Myers and Paynya and camp Smith among others 3259 02:31:49.840 --> 02:31:52.120 that make you feel like damn. But it's almost as 3260 02:31:52.159 --> 02:31:54.520 if they and you know what, there's not a whole 3261 02:31:54.559 --> 02:31:57.319 lot of and I don't mean this disrespectful. How often 3262 02:31:57.440 --> 02:32:00.280 is this team and I know we love it. Does 3263 02:32:00.319 --> 02:32:02.879 this team batflip in a third inning home run? Not 3264 02:32:03.040 --> 02:32:06.559 very often, right, Rare? I mean, it's almost their expectation. 3265 02:32:06.879 --> 02:32:09.680 This is who we are, man, we're Barry Sanders approach, 3266 02:32:09.719 --> 02:32:11.760 We score touchdowns, the ball goes back to referee. Not 3267 02:32:11.879 --> 02:32:13.600 that that matters, but there's just it's part of the 3268 02:32:13.639 --> 02:32:16.079 whole picture. It almost feels like they expect to do it. 3269 02:32:16.280 --> 02:32:17.319 I know exactly what it is. 3270 02:32:17.440 --> 02:32:20.319 It's close games late, and if it's in that scenario, 3271 02:32:20.840 --> 02:32:22.319 they look at it and say, that's our game. 3272 02:32:22.440 --> 02:32:24.879 And what happens when you win close games late and 3273 02:32:25.000 --> 02:32:27.440 come from behind and keep closing games out and winning them. 3274 02:32:27.479 --> 02:32:30.879 You know what happens is that you I'm telling you 3275 02:32:30.959 --> 02:32:33.760 it's a habit. It's no longer I think we can. 3276 02:32:34.120 --> 02:32:37.440 It's oh, it's two to one done that. That's how 3277 02:32:37.479 --> 02:32:39.440 you feel. And you're more shocked if you lose it 3278 02:32:39.520 --> 02:32:43.000 than if you win it and I don't. It's they're 3279 02:32:43.040 --> 02:32:45.040 not supposed I'm just telling you they're not supposed to 3280 02:32:45.079 --> 02:32:47.840 be this good this year. They're just not supposed to be. 3281 02:32:48.280 --> 02:32:50.760 You can't walk down one after one, one after the 3282 02:32:50.799 --> 02:32:53.440 other say oh yeah, I knew this. It's to stop it. 3283 02:32:53.559 --> 02:32:57.000 And there was no bigger endorser of cam Smith than me. 3284 02:32:57.200 --> 02:32:59.760 And you know this down to the ends of the earth. Endorser. 3285 02:33:00.200 --> 02:33:02.159 Do not send it to the minor leagues. Don't waste it. 3286 02:33:02.719 --> 02:33:05.600 He's too good and hoping that it comes to fruition. 3287 02:33:06.440 --> 02:33:10.239 There's no way he thought this. You just didn't, myers. 3288 02:33:10.559 --> 02:33:12.719 You're eighty points different than what you thought. I'm just 3289 02:33:12.760 --> 02:33:15.040 telling you are so pitching. We can go through it, 3290 02:33:15.120 --> 02:33:18.079 take a laundry list of it, but they are not 3291 02:33:18.360 --> 02:33:19.360 supposed to be doing this. 3292 02:33:20.040 --> 02:33:22.280 In the last thirty eight games, cam Smith is hitting 3293 02:33:22.360 --> 02:33:25.200 three twenty three. I believe the Astros are twenty six 3294 02:33:25.280 --> 02:33:25.600 and twelve. 3295 02:33:25.760 --> 02:33:27.360 I'm just testing. And when I say not supposed to, 3296 02:33:27.360 --> 02:33:30.120 they're good. But the expectations I mean, being this good, 3297 02:33:31.360 --> 02:33:33.840 I just you're not supposed to and it's not easy. 3298 02:33:33.920 --> 02:33:37.120 But it's not supposed to feel this easy. Right at 3299 02:33:37.239 --> 02:33:40.920 fifty and thirty four. Yeah, it's impressive. You didn't have 3300 02:33:41.000 --> 02:33:43.200 this on your card. Man, you had a good and 3301 02:33:43.319 --> 02:33:45.959 we'll see. But it's no longer now good. Now we're 3302 02:33:45.959 --> 02:33:49.079 talking to C. Sparks. There's nobody that has They have 3303 02:33:49.239 --> 02:33:51.799 less weakness than anybody in the American League. Now, I 3304 02:33:51.920 --> 02:33:54.920 want you to fathom that with all these injuries and 3305 02:33:55.440 --> 02:33:57.440 what they've run, and Tucker and Bregman are long here. 3306 02:33:57.680 --> 02:33:59.920 Oh they everybody in the American League has more weak 3307 02:34:00.079 --> 02:34:01.399 This is in the Astros. Now, I want you to 3308 02:34:01.440 --> 02:34:03.319 take that to heart. I'll tell you if you had 3309 02:34:03.440 --> 02:34:06.440 that plan in April, at the beginning of April, not 3310 02:34:06.520 --> 02:34:09.360 a lot of being going carnival. Yeah, for sure. 3311 02:34:09.879 --> 02:34:13.600 He's Shawn Salisbury Triple Emmanuel Elmore, Dan Matthews. It is 3312 02:34:13.719 --> 02:34:16.280 another edition of the Shawan Salisbury Show.
