But I think he's hilarious. 51 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.919 I saw some clips this morning, and you heard something there. 52 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.759 I think he's extremely funny. I think it's classic when 53 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.759 he goes after politicians and athletes, all of it. It's comedy, folks, 54 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.800 no matter where you sit laugh.

I think Shane Gillis is hilarious and 61 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.800 he can host it anytime he wants, because, uh, good 62 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.080 comedians don't back off. 63 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:03.439 And worry about what people are gonna say. 64 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.159 So, yeah, I didn't see it, but I saw the 65 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:06.599 clips and I think he's pretty funny. 66 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:07.599 See. 67 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.159 I'm the same way with Awards shows too, because it's 68 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.319 a bunch of people who always get praise and notoriety 69 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.280 that are seeking more praise and notoriety and it's just like, 70 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.680 all right, come on, like enough of your getting over yourself, 71 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.719 Like you need to get over yourself, Like stop stop 72 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.439 like looking at every turn for us to be like, 73 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.080 oh look how great these people are. 74 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.360 And here's the problem is it? Is it celerity. They 75 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.879 are great, you know, going on Twitter and and you 76 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.719 know politicians and celebrities and ripping everybody else and telling them. 77 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.719 I mean, what in a time in our country, think 78 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.039 about it when politicians on both sides, I don't care 79 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.280 who it is, When governors and presidents and congress people 80 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.560 are fighting on Twitter. I mean, can you add Ronald 81 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.719 reg Yeah, let's go fight on Twitter. I mean it's 82 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.240 it's it's absurd. They're like a bunch of twelve year olds, 83 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.719 all of them, and athletes fight among each other this 84 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.879 and that. I think anytime you can get a good 85 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.919 comedian gill Us or back in Carlin or Prior's days, 86 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.319 that can just get on them and they need a 87 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.199 little humble pie. It's perfect way. It should be a roast. 88 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.199 And that's what it is. Ward show, Come get your award. 89 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.120 We have award shows like every five days in sports 90 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.360 and music and acting and all of it, you know what, 91 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.639 every now and then, Yeah, you're exactly get out of 92 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.800 your own way. Let people laugh with you, because that's 93 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.079 about the only chance we get a chance to do 94 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.720 it because everybody's so sensitive. You know what, you got 95 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.959 your Person of the Year, your athlete, of the year. 96 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.959 It's okay for him to say something that has to 97 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.759 do with race. It's okay something has to do with religion. 98 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.319 It's okay to make fun of the president. It's okay 99 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.480 to imitate the president. It's okay to make fun of 100 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:44.480 any of us. It's called comedy for a reason. And 101 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.480 anybody that can't handle it, don't show up to a 102 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.360 ward shows. If you're that soft, don't show up to 103 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.680 a ward show. So people complain, what do you want 104 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:53.199 to do? Because if you go up there and you're boring, 105 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.000 then we'll all say, we will that that's not any good. 106 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.680 So deal with you give me him or what's my 107 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.199 other guy who roasted him at the t the the 108 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.519 the what's Ricky Gervais. I'll take those two all day, 109 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.360 every day. And if you can't laugh yourself over all this, 110 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.800 we got enough going on. It's called comedy for a reason. 111 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.600 They need to get over themselves. And when you see 112 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.560 reactions and people are laughing or they're offended, you know what, 113 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.480 that's on you. And if you don't like it, you 114 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.480 do have the choice to take that tux off or 115 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.079 suit off and go home. You'll get over it and regardless, 116 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.560 so that I don't ever get offended when a comedian 117 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.319 isn't making fun of me or making fun of somebody else. 118 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.879 It's a good thing and they need it well. 119 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.759 And it's also too I think I've said this saying 120 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.199 on air before. Have sports people work in sports, and 121 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.319 Gillis is a big sports fan. So I mean, if 122 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.920 he was going to tailor some of his jokes last 123 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.240 night and be able to have a good hit rate 124 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.079 on them, I feel like he was the right guy 125 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:50.879 to be able to do that because who was it 126 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.240 for years that you used to host the Academy Awards 127 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.079 when Billy Crystal, but like Crystal was safe, like Crystal was. 128 00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:58.439 Needy, hosted them forever. 129 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.920 Yeah, he was not going to offend the collective there 130 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:03.759 in Hollywood. 131 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:04.560 He was going to kiss the. 132 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:12.000 Ass, Yeah, and he did. He's a very funny, good guy. 133 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.439 But if you're standing up there, you're not supposed to 134 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.680 be up there to tell everybody everything they want to hear. 135 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.439 They're going to be told that when everybody's brown knows 136 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.439 and when they get their award nominations are funny. You 137 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.079 should be able to laugh the best ones make fun 138 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.079 of them. And I'll guarant ask to you every time. 139 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.000 There's a lot of those those celebrities that don't even 140 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.240 like Ricky Gervas anymore because he made fun of Hollywood 141 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.600 at a time when they should be made fun of 142 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.360 because they're absurd. Okay, And the same thing here Shane Gillis. Listen, 143 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.839 you don't need the approval of an ESPN audience to 144 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.720 still be a great comedian. So I don't know, I 145 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.199 don't know what the talk is about his performance because, 146 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.800 like I said, I didn't see the full thing. But oh, 147 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:53.120 I'm sure plenty were offended, but they'll get over it. White, black, female, 148 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.360 male athlete, non athlete, executive, non executive. 149 00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:57.199 When you put a. 150 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.800 Guy like Shane Gillis on stage, you better understand what 151 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:00.360 you getting. 152 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:02.680 And to me, it's laughs. 153 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.360 And the more offend, the more you can offend people 154 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.800 and have them go, oh my gosh, that's unbelievable, and 155 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.000 the more we can relate to it, it's good. It 156 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.920 is comedy. It is a show, and it's every year 157 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.720 we go through this on Awards. Just man, that guy 158 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.079 was too harsh, So that good. You know what, Let 159 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.240 it rip. That's why you're there. And if you can't 160 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.800 laugh at yourself, then you probably in the wrong business 161 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.040 and the need to take two weeks off and quit 162 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:26.000 and go do something else. 163 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:31.120 Yeah, So that was the SP's last night and Shane Gillis, 164 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.680 as far as I could tell, he absolutely killed that 165 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.079 Travis Hunter joke was so good. I mean, I understand 166 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.040 the delivery of it too, especially you know, I thought 167 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.279 about this morning where I was like, I gotta believe 168 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.480 the Golden In family is not going to really appreciate, 169 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.639 you know, just how he referenced their son. But I mean, 170 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.800 just the joke itself, it killed and the cowboys won. 171 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:55.199 He did a great job. 172 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:59.120 But I'll tell you this when it comes to the 173 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.519 you know, the the families of that that's not the 174 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.920 first time that joke's been told. You do know that 175 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.040 that that joke was years ago when a comedian said 176 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:10.920 it said, oh yeah, when he killed his wife and 177 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.759 a waiter that that that that that joke. You go 178 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.319 back and look, that's not the first time that's ever 179 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.480 been used. I've heard that joke. That that joke's twenty 180 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.639 years old. He used it, and I don't know how 181 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.079 many people realize, but that that wasn't the first time 182 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.120 when he said it. I said, oh, yeah, that's familiar. 183 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.519 So that that was, that was somebody else's years ago. 184 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.120 Now I don't know if he knows that, but that 185 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.320 was that was delivered a long time ago, a long 186 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.679 time ago. So but you know what, I'm sure they 187 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.120 won't appreciate it. But once again, unfortunately, while it may hurt, 188 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.840 comedians are held to a different standard. And quite frankly, 189 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.879 you know, and if you don't want the guy who cusses, 190 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.480 then you you go go to a you got to 191 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.360 go to Christian comedy, I guess. But when you hire 192 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.440 that guy, what do you expect? What do you think 193 00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:58.159 you're getting? What do you think you're getting when you 194 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:02.159 put Ricky Gervais on stage with a bunch of people 195 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.679 that look in the mirror and and and think that 196 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.360 that they well kind of invented the earth and that 197 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.039 everything was centered around them, and last night with Shan Gillison, 198 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.399 if you want to do that, they'd go hire somebody 199 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.399 who bores you to death and isn't willing to offend 200 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.639 somebody coming out of these shows. You should you should 201 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.080 say be laugh and say damn, somebody's going to be offended. 202 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:24.960 Even though somebody shouldn't be. 203 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.360 But I understand the Goldman family, but that's not the 204 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.399 first time that that's not the first time that family's hurt. 205 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.559 It because it was harsh and unfortunate and change the life. 206 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.279 I get it. But comedians just there, they're hell do 207 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:38.159 a different standard. 208 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.440 They are. You can be offended. 209 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.799 Matter of fact, the more offended you get a lot 210 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.440 of times, the more successful the comedian is. Just like 211 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.440 on Twitter, the more stupidity and hot takes you make. 212 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.600 Look at turn on your TV on your sports show, 213 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.399 people who don't actually know what they're talking about, but 214 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:57.200 as long as it's a hot take, their click click, click, click, 215 00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.559 click and get it ooh, get paid more. We're not 216 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.799 at a time when in credible media or a credible 217 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.639 credible takes are the take over the world. We're at 218 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.399 a time when the hotter take it is, the more 219 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.840 fighting and arguing you can do, the more wealth people 220 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.600 will come to you. It's a novel concept to you know, 221 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.159 probably do the right thing. But when it comes to 222 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.080 comedians there I like, when there's no rules for comedians, 223 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.480 it'll never bother me, don't care. I understand if you're 224 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:25.919 the Goldman family, but you know, what you should probably 225 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.279 understand in a sports event even then, because that I 226 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:29.960 grew I was in LA at the time. All that 227 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.559 stuff you know, went on, I mean meaning a lot 228 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.879 of the Al Collings and the whole thing that went on. 229 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.200 They have to know that this probably best is somebody 230 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.279 I just don't turn on the comedy. 231 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:41.000 Don't turn on a. 232 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.360 Comedian when it's at a sports show because you know, somewhere, 233 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:46.919 somehow his name always gets brought up. 234 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:48.200 Somewhere, does O. J. Simpson. 235 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.600 So it's it sucks, But comedy is what it is. 236 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:53.519 And you know, you don't have to go to a 237 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:54.960 comedy show and you don't have to turn on your TV. 238 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.320 If you're there, you know what you're getting it. If 239 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.360 you hired him, don't come back and be offended by it. Okay, 240 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:01.600 that's what medians do, and if they don't, then the 241 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:02.840 show's probably pretty boring. 242 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:06.720 Yeah, and I mean especially to you talked about the 243 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.639 Jervaise one earlier. That was really timely because that was 244 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:14.080 also coming right out of COVID, I believe, and that 245 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.720 was when people were just over celebrities of the whole. 246 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.639 You know, hey, stay home, we're all in this together. 247 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:23.399 It's like, you're not in this together with me. You're 248 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.799 in your palatial little mansion there in the Hollywood Hills 249 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.799 and you're telling me that I can't go to work. 250 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.759 Screw you, dude, Like, no, I'm not in this with you. 251 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.279 You're you're in it with somebody else with me. 252 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.039 It was a farce. Then it's a farce now, So 253 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.159 well do we can move on from that? But you know, 254 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.080 good on Shane Gillis, get some laughs, and well you'll 255 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:45.080 know if they don't invite him back next year, guess what. 256 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.679 I'll probably tell you that, well, we had too much 257 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:48.759 backlash and too many people. 258 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.120 Friend, that's exactly if if you don't invite, if you're 259 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:52.960 not inviting back because too may pe, you're like, wow, 260 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.879 you probably should invite him back. But if you walk 261 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:57.759 into a show like that and that guy's hosting it 262 00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.240 and I love him, I think he's hilarious. If he 263 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.759 offends you, well you're probably gonna have to get over it. 264 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.240 And I doubt he's gonna give you an apology if 265 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:11.799 you hurt your feelings, and most comedians don't nor should they. 266 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.840 No now for sure, and he's gonna be in Houston. 267 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.039 He's actually gonna be over at Toyota Center here in September, 268 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:19.919 so I might have to duck over there and check 269 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.559 him out. But anyway, as I mentioned one more day 270 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.320 here in Atlanta at SEC Media Days, and then also 271 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:30.080 too where one more day away from as our Sports 272 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.960 Talk seven ninety Twitter account put one more day away 273 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.039 from Astros season two point zero. So we'll get into 274 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:41.159 that as the show goes along. The British Open happening 275 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.360 right now over at Royal Port Rush a couple of 276 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.600 guys at the top of the leader board. Jacob scove 277 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.240 Olison is one of the leaders and also a throwback. 278 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.720 Lee Westwood also top of the lead at four unders. 279 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.840 So we'll get into the conversation. But speaking of the Astros, 280 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:02.399 it is an incredibly important for one particular Astro. Will 281 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.759 tell you exactly why, as we're just getting started to 282 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:09.360 hear on a Thursday on the Sean Salisbury show Sports 283 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.600 Talk seven ninety. 284 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:14.120 But Sean, I mentioned it the other day lunch, it's gonna. 285 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.000 Be right here before you know it today, and I 286 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.960 think me and you both know a great spot if you're. 287 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.799 On the fence for lunch this afternoon. 288 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.600 Yeah, I would imagine that if you're wise, you'd go 289 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.519 to jbar and Barbecue. And I don't care where you are, 290 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:29.759 it's worth your drive, whether there's an event going on 291 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:31.679 or not. But we know when the Astros or the 292 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.080 Rockets are in town or there's a convention right over 293 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:38.240 there at twenty two oh one Leland.

Also, it's I don't think they 344 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.159 look at that as their summer. They're not in season 345 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.320 like we are here summertime. So I got a buddy 346 00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:59.519 who's a member at bally Bunyon, which is a top 347 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:01.559 ten core in the world, and they go every August 348 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.240 and get invited every one of the years' One of 349 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:05.799 these years, I'm gonna take two weeks off and go 350 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:07.759 with them. They play all kinds of course, but he's 351 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.519 remember at Valley Bunying about fifteen twenty guys go and 352 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:14.639 it's it's raining. They go play and they have a blast, 353 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.879 they drink beer, but just how you play it. And 354 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:18.799 they go in August the same thing you're playing, and 355 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:23.960 it'll wind and umbrellas and sweaters and rain jackets. So 356 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.960 it's a great test, true test man. Better hit the 357 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.000 ball low, and you better be able to be a 358 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.840 great iron player if you're gonna play here. Not even 359 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.759 a great putter, I mean good putter, but the unele. 360 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:36.120 You got to hit it close and you've got to 361 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.000 give yourself a chance because it's it's a problem. But uh, 362 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.720 and it's cold. So it's a true test of golf. 363 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:41.960 Man. 364 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:45.559 It's a if you don't have creativity at a British Open, 365 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:49.000 then you will you will not win this. But you 366 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:53.080 keep an eye on John Rahm, Brooks Koepka obviously, the 367 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.200 guys like Lowry who's won here before, and and uh 368 00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.440 Rory McElroy and there will always be somebody. But Matt 369 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:01.960 Fitzpatrick I think he's yeah, he's on. I think he's 370 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:05.880 at two underpar. Those guys. Uh, and it's it's it's 371 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.240 tough the the the Americans have it different. They don't usually, 372 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:11.680 you know, I mean the Tom Watson's in the world. 373 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.519 He won five of these. 374 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.240 It's hard to play this type of golf because normally, oh, 375 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:16.839 you're around the green, get a lob wedge and just 376 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.960 flip it in there. So and of course Scheffler is 377 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.519 going to be around because he's as good iron players 378 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.000 if it is in the world. So you better hit 379 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.880 great irons, and you better you better have be able 380 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:31.079 to adjust your ball flight and uh, and these guys will. 381 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.079 But I love the test because you're looking at him 382 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.039 there and vests and hoodies and stuff, and uh, there'll 383 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:37.519 be a lot of bogies, but there'll be a lot 384 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:42.079 of great uh you know, wow factor shots and stuff. 385 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.359 And I can't wait to see how it unfolds. I 386 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.240 love this and that's what I'll be doing for four 387 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:50.400 straight days when uh, when off, just watch watch watch 388 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:51.799 this golf and see how they handle it. 389 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:53.759 Be cool. I love this. 390 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.359 This is where you need to hit the stinger. 391 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.519 This this is regularly that's exactly right. And you better, 392 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.319 you better be able to high ball hitters will struggle 393 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:07.079 here and high ball hitters and last time they played 394 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:08.960 at this golf course or the last time. It was 395 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:10.079 won by Shane Lowry. 396 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:11.039 Here he. 397 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.440 I think was greens in regulation he hit more greens 398 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.839 or I had great iron play. So when you do 399 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:20.319 that and keep it play and have a chance put 400 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:24.240 it on at the short grass in the fairway from 401 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:26.440 a stinger and then hit it somewhere on the green 402 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.519 and be able to lag, well you'll be fine. I 403 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.240 don't think there's a lot of I know, I don't 404 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:33.599 think this is a twenty under par golf course this 405 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.960 next four days. So it's going to test everything you've 406 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.359 got and I can't wait to see it. 407 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.759 Yep, definitely, so so a lot of early morning golf 408 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.519 for us to be able to watch here the next 409 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:43.079 few days. 410 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.279 I mentioned the day was a huge day for one 411 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:46.519 particular astro. 412 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.079 If you remember Sean Monday's show, we played a little 413 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.960 bit of audio from astros g Dina Brown where he 414 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.039 had said that today was going to be jord On 415 00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.359 at meeting with doctors, probably going to do it over zoom, 416 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:02.759 but going to meet with them, and then they're hopeful 417 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:05.720 that they get a good result from said meeting with 418 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:07.319 the doctors and then. 419 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:08.920 Maybe he can start swinging. 420 00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.279 And I mean, as we had heard earlier in the 421 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:13.400 week no audio this time, but earlier in the week 422 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:17.359 Dana Brown saying that they would also like to expedite 423 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:20.880 the process of getting at Jordan Alvarez back. That last 424 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:23.079 part kind of gives me a little bit of caution, 425 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:23.519 does it not? 426 00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:23.759 You? 427 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:28.480 Yeah, but what's xpite expedite? We're pushing ninety days? Well, 428 00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:32.759 what's what's what's expedite? We're past x expedite. They tried 429 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:35.000 that and not saying for Dana, but they tried that 430 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.960 and then they had to redo it. I mean, they 431 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.079 had to shut him down. So and I'm I'm I'm 432 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.240 maybe I'm naive, but I don't know a zoom call. 433 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:46.119 What what's a zoom call going to do? Hey, how 434 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:49.640 do you feel? I feel great? Okay, we'll see you Friday. 435 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:51.319 Mean I would say that's pretty much it. Hey, shake 436 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:52.319 that guy's hand right there. 437 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.480 Yeah, I saw. 438 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:56.359 I don't know the protocol they're going to go through 439 00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.759 to get him ready, and I do know this, it'd 440 00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:00.240 be great to have him back when it does. But 441 00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:04.119 expediting the process comes down to me. It's real simple. 442 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.480 Do the images say he's one hundred percent cure healthy? 443 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.880 Meaning is is it healed. And if it's one hundred 444 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.200 percent healed, then you look at him and say you're 445 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.160 cleared to go. If it's eighty five percent healed, you 446 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:19.319 can't expedite that. That's been tried before and it'll linger 447 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.039 all year long. I'm not a doctor, but my gut 448 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.920 tells me when a guy's been out almost ninety days, 449 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:25.759 you better wait till he's one hundred percent healthy, because 450 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.720 then it's now we're in the precious time that if 451 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:29.359 he has a setback again, you're not going to see 452 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:32.559 him until the playoffs. If you're lucky, say, can't afford 453 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.680 a setback. So when that, when that, when that picture 454 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:38.680 says he's healed, he can go now, no. 455 00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:40.920 Risk of hurting him more. Now it's just strengthening it. 456 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:43.640 And it's and a pain, a threshold pain thing, a pain, 457 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:45.920 how he can handle it, then you're good to go. 458 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:48.599 So I'm not a doctor, but it appears this deep 459 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.119 endto it that I would make sure that it's he's 460 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.599 one hundred percent ready to go and healthy, and then 461 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:55.759 how he feels from there. But if the images say 462 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.519 he's good to go, now, you got to put it 463 00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:59.400 on him. Say how much can you handle, and if 464 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:01.119 he I can hand all of it, let's go play. 465 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:03.039 Then you get him his assignment, and whether it's in 466 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:05.640 the major leagues or whether it's live batting practice where 467 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.000 it's going down to triple A and let's get it rolling, 468 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:13.880 I'll I'm going to reserve and hold my excitement in 469 00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:17.640 silence until I see the full result, because I go 470 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:20.160 in thinking he's not ready, and if he's ready, it's 471 00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:23.440 a bonus because it's it's been there's been a lot 472 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:27.200 of disappointments along this road, and as a team, you 473 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.119 can't predict when a guy's going to be ready to go. 474 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:31.319 But if the image is clear, then it comes down 475 00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.720 to how are you good? And how's how are you 476 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:36.119 meaning you're down, and then we'll let it rip and 477 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:39.119 see what happens. But I don't think this is a 478 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:42.640 he's eighty five percent, let's go, he feels good. Probably 479 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.640 a little too dangerous right now when you're three months in. 480 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.480 It's taken a lot longer we expected, so I'm not 481 00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:50.480 sure what expedit what we're expediting now, other than getting 482 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:52.160 back on the field when he's healthy. 483 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.960 Well, and that's the key part right there. When he's healthy, 484 00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.839 because I think people are wondering if he's going to 485 00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:02.599 be healthy, And you touched on a little bit, but 486 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.279 I mean there's kind of a feeling for me Sean 487 00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:09.839 that if he comes back and the same deal again, 488 00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:11.839 all we got to shut him down at that point. 489 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:13.880 If you're the Astros, don't you have to think about 490 00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.279 just saying twenty twenty five just isn't in the cards 491 00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:17.039 for us with this guy. 492 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.240 Well, from my vantage point, if they shut him down again, 493 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:24.880 you're not seeing him anymore now unless you get the 494 00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.079 hey man, he's going to be fully healthy. Of course, 495 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.559 you'll continue the path the rehab. You're not going to 496 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:30.960 all of a sudden sa he's done for the year, 497 00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:34.559 because you don't want fan base to oh my gosh, 498 00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:38.720 because they imagine the fallout from that. But then you 499 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:40.680 just say, hey man, we're still working on it. It's 500 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:43.359 been a process, it's been re injured, we'll reevaluate it. 501 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.839 We've got to take some time off, and it doesn't 502 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.799 look good for anytime soon, So that that's my concern. 503 00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:51.279 But yes, if you have to shut him down again 504 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:54.039 or he's not good to go, I don't I mean, 505 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:57.000 we're already fourteen days or fifteen days away from August, 506 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.440 I mean, and I would imagine, iagine how the season goes. 507 00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:04.519 Would it would also dictate, well, where are we, Well, 508 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.799 we're ten games in front, Jordan's not quite healthy yet, 509 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:11.400 what's the rush and there you know, ninety days or 510 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:13.920 whatever it's been already. I'm not sure we're worried about 511 00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:16.720 it being rushed now. But yeah, if you have to 512 00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:19.200 shut him down again, I would imagine there's probably a 513 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.000 pretty good chance if you're shutting him down again that 514 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:24.160 that would be you're shutting him down and if we're fortunate, 515 00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.119 you get him in the postseason. We're in We're we 516 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.039 at seventy games, sixty some games left, ninety six so 517 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.279 ninety six so so that'd be sixty two to one 518 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.480 hundred and sixty six games? Is it left to play 519 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.720 sixty six games? By the end of this month, there'll 520 00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:42.599 be what fourteen or fifteen more down whatever it is, 521 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.839 fourteen more and then you're now you're in August, and 522 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.559 now you're inside. You're at fifty. So you get him 523 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:51.279 when you can get him, and it's a blessing when 524 00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:51.519 you do. 525 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:53.039 But I'll wait to see. 526 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.880 I'll wait until I get to see it and know 527 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:58.400 he's in uniform ready to roll. But it's a very 528 00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:00.920 slippery slope and I'm sure they're being very cautious. Yet 529 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:02.880 would like him on the field because of the frustration, 530 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:04.039 and obviously you. 531 00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:05.960 Need him for sure. 532 00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.880 Seven two five, seven ninety is the number to get 533 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.480 in on the phone lines. Will continue the Astros conversation 534 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.839 because while this is looked at as being a strength, 535 00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:18.400 there is a glaring weakness when it comes to this 536 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.799 part of the Astros. In twenty twenty five, will discuss 537 00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.279 that here as we're just getting going on a Thursday, 538 00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:28.160 Sports Talk seven ninety the seven ninety listener line in 539 00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:30.519 the six o'clock hour is brought to you by one 540 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.079 eight hundred. Car Cash talked a lot about Jordan Alvarez. 541 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:36.440 That seems like he is going to be a key 542 00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.640 to how Dana Brown and tries to navigate the trade deadline. 543 00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:42.759 It's gonna be coming up here in a couple of weeks. 544 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:45.759 But you've also heard me numerous times talk about my 545 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:49.119 concern with the pitching staff and Chandler Rome of the 546 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:53.599 Athletic putting out a good piece yesterday of second half storylines. 547 00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.000 Trade deadline everything else as part of the athletic and 548 00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:59.079 he had mentioned that the Astros this year were an 549 00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:01.559 even five h under it in games that were not 550 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:04.880 started by either Hunter Brown or from ber Valdez, and 551 00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:09.559 the group that was fronted by Colton Gordon, Brandon Walter, 552 00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:14.240 Ryan Gusto and Lance mccullors Junior have as a combined 553 00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:18.279 group a first half era of four point eight seven. 554 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.880 So you also have to wonder if Dana Brown it 555 00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:24.119 comes down to one or the other and he has 556 00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:26.920 a chance to upgrade at the pitching staff, I think 557 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:28.519 that you probably know where he's gonna go. 558 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:33.400 Well, maybe we've overrated the starting pitching staff a little 559 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:35.880 past the first two when you look at those numbers 560 00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:39.240 that Rome put up, and I don't mean that disrespectful 561 00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:41.680 to them, but we be like, man, they've stepped up. Yeah, 562 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.519 you could use Javier and Garcia if as possible, or 563 00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.759 somebody out there. There's no doubt, and you know, an 564 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.839 ar pushing five and they're a five hundred team without 565 00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:54.480 those first two starting on the mound. Now there's other things. 566 00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:56.359 It's not just him, because there are games when they've 567 00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.440 done a good job and this team has not scored 568 00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:02.640 it's a reflection of that as well, and at times, unfortunately, 569 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.480 if they give up three or four runs, that's enough 570 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:08.599 to beat the Astros. That's been enough to beat the 571 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:11.559 Astros at times this year. Yet they're batting average, you know, 572 00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:14.920 up until a week or so before, and may still be. 573 00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.599 I haven't looked recently. It was what didn't top three 574 00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:22.559 in the league. I mean they still It's not just 575 00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:24.799 the batting average, it's getting runs across the plate in 576 00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:27.160 key moments. And you know that you can win a 577 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:29.799 game three to two or two to one with Brown 578 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.720 and Fromber because well, they're going to keep it low 579 00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:34.680 for the most part, most of the time and give 580 00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:37.240 you six innings, maybe seven innings. The other guys, wal 581 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:40.119 Grinding and a couple of them were not expected to 582 00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:43.880 even be in this role this year have done a 583 00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:47.759 good job. But I don't think they can sustain just 584 00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:49.960 those two guys because the burden on the bullpen, which 585 00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.960 has been outstanding for the most part this year, becomes 586 00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.839 a bigger burden to carry. Let's put it right where 587 00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:58.440 we need to. Here's the things you have to do 588 00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:03.359 in the second half. Get healthy. Two, you better score 589 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:06.720 more runs. You just better score more runs. And this 590 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:08.680 is to a team that's you know, that's in first 591 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.839 place by what a half a dozen games or so 592 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:12.799 five six games? 593 00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:14.200 Now what a six games or five games? 594 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.759 Five games in front, you have to go in one 595 00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:18.640 in five just before the All Star breaks. 596 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:20.759 So you got to score more runs. 597 00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:23.359 You gotta get healthy, and you have to go get 598 00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:25.200 If you have two needs, you have to get a 599 00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:28.440 power bat. They need more home they need to drive 600 00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:31.079 the ball more, probably hopefully from the left hand side. 601 00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:33.480 But you know those aren't exactly guys that the people 602 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:36.599 are given away, and you're gonna have to be better three, 603 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.519 four and five pitching staff, you just are. So if 604 00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.200 those numbers, if we're if this is an analytics in 605 00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.839 the numbers type team, which it is, then that pitching 606 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.480 staff posts the first two starting you're gonna need some 607 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:51.680 help and hope that none of those guys get banged up. 608 00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:53.759 You're gonna have to get healthy, and you're just gonna 609 00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:55.960 have to be more explosive on offense. 610 00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:56.880 You just are. 611 00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:59.640 And if not, then you know you go and win 612 00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:00.000 a division. 613 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:00.359 Great. 614 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:02.160 The question is for me, are they gonna get through 615 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:04.079 the regular season? No, that's not the question. The question 616 00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:06.480 is when you get into the postseason, do you have 617 00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:09.200 enough horses to not only on the mound, but at 618 00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:12.119 the plate. And obviously you're not using six starters when 619 00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.039 you get a certain part of the postseason, obviously, but 620 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:17.079 you're gonna need that to get there and have some 621 00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.559 cushion and rest down the stretch. You're gonna have to 622 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.359 get healthy, and you're gonna have to score more runs. 623 00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:23.319 You just are and you're gonna have to do it, 624 00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:25.079 and you're gonna have to get a little more power 625 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:27.920 in the lineup that is driving the ball. But health 626 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:31.960 will be first. They I'll be shocked if there's not 627 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.759 a deal done, and I'm actually more app to think 628 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:35.559 it'll be a bigger deal than the smaller one now 629 00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:38.319 as we go on after what I saw six games 630 00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:40.519 going in, it's not panic, but you have to do 631 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.640 everything in your power as an organization. Gim it's the 632 00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:47.240 job every year. My job's not to get my team 633 00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:50.119 ready to play in twenty thirty. If I'm a front 634 00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:52.960 office and Dana and Joe Espada and Jim Crane, all 635 00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.000 of them, their job is to get the team ready 636 00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:58.240 to play and take this lead and extend it and 637 00:28:58.240 --> 00:28:59.839 be ready to go. If you're if they think they're 638 00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:02.640 a World Series type team, you're gonna have to make 639 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.880 more a move or more than one here in the 640 00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:05.559 next couple of weeks. 641 00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:09.000 You just are and or you're. 642 00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:10.880 You're throwing caution to the win and saying, Okay, let's 643 00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:13.720 see if we have enough. It's like a race car 644 00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:15.759 driver and say, man, we've got ten laps to go. 645 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:17.160 You want to come in and pit Naw, I'm gonna 646 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:20.240 I think I can finish on these tires. So you 647 00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:22.000 got to ask yourself, is it a pit stop we 648 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:24.920 got the lead, Is it a long pit stop or 649 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:26.519 is it a pit stop? Or am I going to 650 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:28.680 stay on these tires and keep this lead and get 651 00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.920 across the finish line so I have a chance to 652 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.680 be playing for the for the Cup Championship in NASCAR, 653 00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:35.440 the Cup Series Championship. 654 00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:39.119 So that's that's where this is. Got a five game lead. 655 00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:41.119 But I wouldn't imagine we're all too comfortable with that, 656 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:43.920 knowing the lineup, that the pitching that you're gonna face 657 00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:47.000 in your own division, and that the that the Mariners 658 00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:50.960 and the and the Rangers are looming. Five's nice better 659 00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.160 to be five up than five down. But are you 660 00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:55.640 making a pit stop? Which is the trade deadline? And 661 00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:57.559 how big is it you need? I mean, you always 662 00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:01.319 change all four tires, but how bald are they? Or 663 00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:03.720 can you finish this run with what you got on 664 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:05.880 those tires? That's what they have to ask themselves. Is 665 00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:08.000 it a small one or a big one? I'm starting 666 00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:09.960 to tend to think it's going to be bigger than smaller. 667 00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:12.599 If they're not going to if they don't see their 668 00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:17.160 team getting healthy anytime soon, well, I. 669 00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:19.640 Mean, I think that's also to the point you just 670 00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:22.960 finished off with there, that's going to be the indicator 671 00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:27.400 because at least from what we hear from the guys 672 00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:30.119 that are currently working in West Palm Beach or even 673 00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.480 guys like Jordan, that there is a path to return. 674 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:36.480 At least they're leaving us to believe that that's the case. 675 00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:39.039 But I mean, to your point, Sean, you see them 676 00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:41.960 swing for the fences and say that is a Ryan 677 00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.359 O'Hearn or that is not a back end of the 678 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.519 rotation guy. Maybe somebody that can, you know, you can 679 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.480 feature in the middle of your rotation, maybe even jumps 680 00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:54.119 into you know, top two guys there you're able to 681 00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:56.400 split fromber and Hunter right there. I think if you 682 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.240 do that, then yeah, that probably shows you. Oh yeah, hey, 683 00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:01.799 how and those guys aren't coming back, are they? 684 00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:04.559 Okay, let me ask you this, what's the exact trade 685 00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:05.160 deadline date? 686 00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:08.880 I think? 687 00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:12.160 First, okay, so the end of the we got you 688 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:16.720 to fifteen days, about right, somewhere in the fifteen to 689 00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:19.200 twenty days, so it should regardless of the exact moment, 690 00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:21.400 we'll get to that. So let's just say fifteen days, 691 00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:25.240 fifteen days. I'm sorry, Triple you were in my would 692 00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:28.559 you say, buddy thirty first? Okay, thank you? July three, 693 00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:32.519 So there you go. So today's the seventeenth. So there 694 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:35.880 you go. You have fourteen days. All right, So let 695 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:40.519 me let me pose this question, and I'll pose it 696 00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:42.960 to our audience too, because we've got great listeners, are you, 697 00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:45.440 and great insight on their astros. 698 00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:48.200 What if there's do you think there's. 699 00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:51.480 Going to be any change in the lineup health wise 700 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:58.039 in the next two weeks? Jordn Payna Garcia JP France. 701 00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:02.319 I'm just going no, he's not come back, Spencer Araghetty. 702 00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:05.400 Right now, I mean, let's roll. Obviously, wez Nesky's not. 703 00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:08.640 I mean, but those in the next two weeks, maybe 704 00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:11.880 Chas McCormick. But I'm just saying, any of those guys 705 00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:15.160 you think are gonna be starting on the mound, or 706 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:18.400 at least in Triple A in their rehab assignment, or 707 00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:20.599 back on the big league roster between now and July 708 00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:25.279 thirty first, I'm asking you a question. 709 00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:28.000 Yeah, I was just thinking about it. 710 00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.759 No, okay, No, Then then if they're not ready by 711 00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:34.960 July thirty first, and we're real well we're gonna find 712 00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:37.519 out about the injuries and the trade deadline, then aren't 713 00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:40.240 you saying to yourself, if we're all in, I can't 714 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:42.920 risk that they're not gonna be ready. Now, somebody says, well, 715 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:44.880 they won't be ready by the first, but there's a 716 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:47.480 chance they'll be ready by the tenth, and then maybe 717 00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:49.720 you don't make a big trade, but a chance. 718 00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:55.759 Are you willing to chance that chance? So the question I. 719 00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:58.359 Have is, if they're not back by July thirty first, 720 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.000 and now we're into August and the trade dead lie 721 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:03.359 passes and maybe they're setbacks, maybe they're not. You don't 722 00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:05.319 know that they're going to be ready. In psych man 723 00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:08.480 Payna's going to be two more weeks. This guy's going 724 00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:10.480 to be another week and a half. A Jake Myers 725 00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:12.480 is going to be in a With that in mind, 726 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:15.279 do you take the risk and say, I'm going to 727 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.000 count on the fact that we're going to get healthy 728 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:19.720 and let's go, Or do you say we got fourteen 729 00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.359 days fifteen days to get moving, we can't wait. We 730 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:24.680 think we're a World Series team, which I believe this 731 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:27.720 team does, and they're playing to win, then we're not 732 00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.720 playing for twenty thirty. 733 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:29.960 Then you have to go deal. 734 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.039 You have to go deal, and maybe they do anyway, 735 00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:35.440 But if we don't think or they don't think that 736 00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:38.160 in the next two weeks or a month that they're 737 00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:40.799 going to have their group back, or at least part 738 00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:45.279 of it that's in there, then you better get the 739 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:46.920 dealing and you better get out all your cards and 740 00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:48.319 answer every call. 741 00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:48.920 So that's it. 742 00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:52.000 And I don't believe either that Painia or from the 743 00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:59.000 way that the chatter Myers Paanya, Jordan Alvarez, I mean 744 00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:02.319 not Alvarez, but Javier and Garcia. Just to I'll just 745 00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:04.599 use those five for example. I don't think you're going 746 00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:08.920 to see any of them before July first, now July second. 747 00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:11.239 I not July first, but August first. I wouldn't have 748 00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:14.400 any any idea. But if you know more than we 749 00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.320 do about that, which they should and probably do. And 750 00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:19.480 you see how big If the big chatter and you 751 00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:21.840 start to hear rumors about big deals, that will tell 752 00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:23.320 you all you need to know about the health of 753 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:24.400 this team moving forward. 754 00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:26.599 You've heard the man. 755 00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:28.800 He's calling for you seven one three two one two 756 00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.199 five seven ninety will continue this conversation. 757 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:32.880 Also, what about the. 758 00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:36.119 Teams that are chasing the astros got to wonder what 759 00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:40.079 their aggressive nature is going to be at the trade deadline. 760 00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:41.679 We will talk about it right here. 761 00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:45.000 It is Sean Salisbury show on a Thursday Sports Talk 762 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:46.039 seven ninety. 763 00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:52.159 More Sean Salisbury, get in, strap in and write in. 764 00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:58.320 Where he said, this is the most openest open that 765 00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:00.480 I think you know you can have with the gray 766 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:01.119 out there. 767 00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:02.599 You got a little bit of a mist going. 768 00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:05.519 It's chili all of those things like when you think 769 00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:11.239 of you know, you know, English, Scottish, Irish golf over there. 770 00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:12.320 This is what you think of. 771 00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:14.440 Boy, it's supposed to look. 772 00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:17.800 It's the truest test and you know when you're talking 773 00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:21.000 about northern it's Northern Ireland. You get the sidebar of 774 00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:26.320 the Shane Lowry and Roy McElroy where they're from. Hell 775 00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:29.599 about within about twenty miles is where they filmed Game 776 00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:32.800 of Thrones right right, not far from there maybe is. 777 00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:35.159 Even though no holes are read, you know, you're not 778 00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.000 gonna hit the balls in the water at this one 779 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.440 like you may at Pebble Beach. The views are about 780 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:41.599 as beautiful as you'll get from any of those links 781 00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:45.760 type courses in that part of the country. So it's 782 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:48.599 awesome and it is a true test. And at some 783 00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:51.920 point in time all this weather's gonna stop, meaning the rain, 784 00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.280 and then maybe a wind will kick up, maybe you'll 785 00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:56.320 get some sun. You'll take the rain gear off and 786 00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:58.280 then an hour later you may have to put it 787 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.800 back on. And then the greens pretty soft over there anyway, 788 00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:04.199 and then now it rains, so they're gonna be softer. 789 00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:07.840 So instead of in the US there most of them 790 00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:11.400 are pretty fast for the most part, here they're slow. 791 00:36:11.480 --> 00:36:13.920 Now they're slower. So when you play downhill you got 792 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:16.639 to be wiser, you don't, you know, run it twenty 793 00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:19.400 feet by And now when it's slower and you're not 794 00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:21.119 running as true as you want. You're gonna have to 795 00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:22.760 wrap a few of them and you may push a few. 796 00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.199 By the test is all over the place. These huge 797 00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:27.199 If you hit in the bunker on a par four 798 00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:29.599 part five, one of those big bunkers in a fair way, 799 00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:33.360 you got problems. You've got some serious issues. So it's 800 00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:36.760 real simple. Hit greens with your irons, keep the ball 801 00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:40.760 into short grass and give yourself a chance. But you're 802 00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:43.400 gonna be putting on slow greens. But this is the test, 803 00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:46.360 and it does. It's the open, the openest of the opens, 804 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:49.159 because of the just the attire they're wearing, all the apparel, 805 00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:51.159 the win. The fans are not going to leave if 806 00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.480 a rant. They don't care. That is, they'll walk through 807 00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:55.559 this for seventy days in a row if they have 808 00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:58.800 to watch good golf, so I can't wait. They'll be frustration, 809 00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:01.599 they'll be happy moments. This is the way golf is, 810 00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.400 and it's intriguing because you're not getting a seventy five 811 00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:06.960 eighty five degree day where every ball you hit is 812 00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:09.880 three forty. You know you're gonna have to change your game. 813 00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:12.400 And if you're not, like I said, creative. This course 814 00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:15.239 isn't for you period. Neither is playing over there. 815 00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:19.400 Yeah, this is the type of weather that makes me 816 00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:21.360 want to gain us and maybe some bangers and mash. 817 00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:23.400 You know, I would imagine a lot of that's now, 818 00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:25.559 but a lot of a lot of that's gonna be pouring. 819 00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:28.639 And the defending champ obviously in the British Opens, Xander Schaffley, 820 00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:31.880 has not had a good year yet, you know, he's 821 00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:34.559 we we have our expectations so high for these guys, 822 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:36.320 and yet he was a monster last year with a 823 00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:39.440 couple of majors. So anxious to see how he plays 824 00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:42.800 defending his championship and this is this is awesome and 825 00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:44.840 you're gonna see guys roll when it's not raining. 826 00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:46.039 Now it'll be a little different today. 827 00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:47.920 You may not have a five iron that you want 828 00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:49.480 to roll in there because you're not going to get 829 00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:53.400 the same rollout. So now if you're in close obviously 830 00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:56.079 now you can hit high irons even if there's wind. 831 00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:58.159 It may be but an eight iron now may be 832 00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:01.320 a six iron and a nine iron, maybe a seven 833 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:04.079 iron for these guys, and you just got to be smart. 834 00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:06.760 And the best iron player this week will be on 835 00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.360 the final page of the leaderboard if not near the 836 00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:11.360 top three when it's all said and done this week, 837 00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:13.800 if you're hitting greens with your irons, even if you 838 00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:16.760 and maybe you got to be cognizant too, that hitting 839 00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:19.320 stinger three woods off the tee. If you hit it 840 00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:23.480 two ninety with a three wood and the goal is 841 00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:24.800 to keep in the middle of the fairway, you're not 842 00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:27.320 spraying your driver hit a three wood or hit an 843 00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:29.400 iron off at a driving iron. So these guys are 844 00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:31.239 smarter than I am at it, and they know. But 845 00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:33.159 this isn't a course that you can sit there and 846 00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:35.719 flex your muscles and say I'm going to hit it 847 00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:37.920 farther than everybody else as it goes through the fairway 848 00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:41.079 and now you're taking double bogie because you're just off 849 00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:43.000 the t box there. And the big mistakes are like 850 00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:45.360 Lee Westwood right here on a par three, hits the 851 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:48.000 ball down into the rough with an iron in his hand. 852 00:38:48.360 --> 00:38:50.920 An iron hits it, and they got some long par 853 00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.840 threes over there as well as a two hundred and 854 00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:56.239 forty five yard par three. It's going to be tough. 855 00:38:56.280 --> 00:39:00.360 So if you're missing short irons into the green, you're 856 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:02.159 not gonna you're You're in, You're You're in real treate. 857 00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:03.719 It's gonna be a long day in Lee Westwoods at 858 00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:05.800 minus three. Now keep doing that and you want. It's 859 00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:08.159 only one hundred and seventy two yards and both guys 860 00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:11.880 off the tee are in deep, deep crap. Jordan just 861 00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:14.159 went in there as well. So as I'm watching on TV, 862 00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:16.840 that's the type of week it's going to be and 863 00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:18.519 there'll be a lot of mishots, but there'll be some 864 00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:20.599 spectacular ones as well, and I can't wait to see 865 00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:21.400 out unfolds. 866 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:23.880 It's also funny to see some of the looks on 867 00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:26.480 their faces after shots, like those are looks at me 868 00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:27.239 and you have. 869 00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:28.880 Right, oh, there's no doubt. 870 00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:30.920 It's kind of like like why why did it just 871 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:32.880 do that? Like you know that that's not supposed to 872 00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:33.199 do that. 873 00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:35.400 And these are pros right and say that the test 874 00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:37.400 And I just think about it, when you decided to 875 00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.800 get on a private plane to fly over in Northern Ireland, 876 00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:44.360 you you just know, Okay, I'm geared up for there's 877 00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:47.199 gonna be some moments when I want to erupt and 878 00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:49.880 go and I'm out of my damn mind with how 879 00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:53.000 difficult the golf course is and how creative you got 880 00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:55.079 to be. But there'll be those moments when you walk 881 00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:57.960 off this one.

Uh yeah. 917 00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:03.840 I've worked a little bit in oil and gasp and 918 00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:06.920 got to play golf in Scotland. And I'll just say 919 00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:10.280 this about playing golf in Scotland. It's a beautiful country. 920 00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:12.360 That's it. 921 00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:17.039 Golf is so hard over there, and it's it's so 922 00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:21.639 different and I'm enjoying watching the Open. But anyway, Astros, Dan, 923 00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:23.440 you and I have talked on X a little bit 924 00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:27.079 about this, and I think we're on the same page. Yes, pitching, 925 00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:32.039 You're not gonna win the postseason without pitching, but I 926 00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:34.320 think it comes their decision. Is gonna come down to 927 00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:39.280 the next four days. Today with the decision on your's hand, 928 00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:43.079 where is he at and the next three games. If 929 00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:46.440 the Astros go into Seattle and get swept, they have 930 00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:49.800 to seriously consider if your Gun's not going to be back. 931 00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:52.519 They have to seriously consider if this season to watch. 932 00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:55.000 And I know that's heresy and I know Astros fans 933 00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:57.079 don't want to hear that, but think about what Detroit 934 00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:00.440 did last year. They traded Flaherty at the trade deadline. 935 00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:01.679 They got some pieces back. 936 00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:04.880 The injury is still out on those pieces, but they 937 00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:08.119 got something back and they still made the postseason. Obviously 938 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:11.519 we know the results of that. We might have to 939 00:43:11.559 --> 00:43:14.639 look at a Fromber deal and this season may be 940 00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:17.000 a watch. I know Astros fans don't want to hear that, 941 00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:21.280 but they've got to be serious with themselves about is 942 00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:24.360 this season just an anomaly where the beginning of it 943 00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:27.360 was how wow, how did that happen? Or are we 944 00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:31.159 that good? Are the injuries just too much to sustain. 945 00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:34.760 I would love to say, no, it's who we are. 946 00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:37.639 Make trades. Let's make a run of the world series. 947 00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:40.039 That's what I want to say. But the reality of 948 00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:42.400 it is is you've got to be real with yourself 949 00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:44.480 and you going to Seattle get swept. You come out 950 00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:46.679 of that two games up in the division, you got 951 00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:48.039 some difficult decisions to make. 952 00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:49.559 And I don't envy Dana Brown at all. 953 00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:52.320 I do trust him, but they may have to make 954 00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:54.519 some trades that the Astros fans aren't gonna be happy about. 955 00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:57.000 And am I looking forward to that. No, But that's 956 00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:59.079 just the reality of it. And I'll say this to 957 00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:03.039 end the conversation. Say that on Twitter, on Astros Twitter, 958 00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:05.559 and you will be destroyed because that's. 959 00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:06.599 What's happening to me right now. 960 00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:07.920 Thanks, guys, I have a great morning. 961 00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:12.079 I appreciate it, Billy, I mean, Sean, I don't envision 962 00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:14.000 that being the case, but I will say this. I 963 00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:16.760 mean about you know, trying to be aggressive, as you 964 00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:21.800 mentioned earlier, and I mean, you know, the Rangers are 965 00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:25.159 not going to stand pat They're going to make moves. 966 00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:28.360 Because they came in here this weekend, they took two 967 00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:30.880 out of three from you, and now they're eight and a. 968 00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:32.039 Half games back of you. 969 00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:35.519 And the Astros proved it last year that with plenty 970 00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:38.360 of baseball left to be played, doesn't really mean much. 971 00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:40.679 I mean, that's that's one good week. I was talking 972 00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:42.440 with a good buddy of mine who's a Rangers fan, 973 00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:45.039 and he's telling me, dude, the divisions of the Astros. 974 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:47.519 I said, no, dude, I said, you have one good 975 00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:50.320 week and the Astros have what they just had last week. 976 00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:52.760 You're four and a half five games back, and then 977 00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:56.039 you have another decent enough series, you're two games back. 978 00:44:56.159 --> 00:44:58.199 I mean, you get my point in here. That can 979 00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:01.440 falter pretty quickly. And oh, by the way, the Mariners 980 00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:03.639 are just in front of them, two five games back, 981 00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:06.119 so same goes for them. Both of those teams are 982 00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:06.840 going to be aggressive. 983 00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.039 Well, if they are, why why wouldn't the Astros. I mean, 984 00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:12.719 if we're, if you're, if you're unequivocally saying they're going 985 00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:16.559 to be aggressive, then what would be the Astros excuse? 986 00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:17.960 Well, we're good. 987 00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:20.639 Listen, when you take a look at the Astros roster, 988 00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:24.440 that's healthy right now, and let's just face it like 989 00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:26.639 we see it. I'm talking about what you've see now 990 00:45:26.760 --> 00:45:29.400 that you're running out there. I'm not saying not good players, 991 00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.400 but overall across the baseball most aren't going to say 992 00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:33.239 they can sustain this. 993 00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:33.880 They're just not. 994 00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:36.920 I mean, I hope we're wrong and it may be 995 00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:38.719 one of those years. But when you look at their 996 00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:42.480 roster today, of counting the injuries that are out, you're 997 00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:44.440 not looking at it and saying this is the best 998 00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:48.199 roster in this division. You're just not. Now when they're healthy, 999 00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:50.440 it's a different conversation. The question is how long. So 1000 00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:53.480 if the Rangers and Mariners are going in, why in 1001 00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:56.320 the hell wouldn't Why in the hell wouldn't the Astros. 1002 00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:59.199 The simple question is this, and this is the only 1003 00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:03.880 thing that needs answer. Do you believe that your World 1004 00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:05.320 Series team? 1005 00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:07.800 As we do? You believe that this is a World Series? 1006 00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:07.880 He? 1007 00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:10.679 Not you, but Dana Brown, Jim Crane, Joe spot In 1008 00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:13.519 that front office and that team. If I asked the 1009 00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:16.079 question and put on a light detector, do you think 1010 00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:18.840 you're a World Series team? And if the answer is yes, 1011 00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:22.800 and it's yes with their guys injured, you have no 1012 00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:24.000 choice but to make a deal. 1013 00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:24.920 None. 1014 00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:27.360 Now, if you all of a sudden think, oh, we 1015 00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.079 got swept, as you know, Billy was saying, we got 1016 00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:34.480 swept and in Seattle. Now it's down to a couple games, 1017 00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:38.079 and you think, man, I know that we're banged up 1018 00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:41.239 and we're just not going to be able to that. 1019 00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:43.639 This is gonna be hard. Let's make a move. 1020 00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.239 Then then you do have to consider, as much I 1021 00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:49.920 hate to say it, if you know you're not going 1022 00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:52.480 to pay him, is what I'm saying. If you know 1023 00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.039 he's going to be priced out because he's really good, 1024 00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:58.079 and he's a left hander, and he's a workhorse, and 1025 00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:01.079 he's capable of throwing a one hitter every time out 1026 00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:04.920 in fromber Valdez. If you are not, if you're not 1027 00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:07.760 all in this year for a World Series run, we 1028 00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.840 face the same question with a different position. Last year, 1029 00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:14.199 we have the question posed regularly going into the All 1030 00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:16.880 Star break? Would you trade Bregman because he's gonna end 1031 00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:20.199 up leaving anyway for more money, would you trade him? 1032 00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:20.840 At the All Star break? 1033 00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:22.559 Are you all in to say, let's run it back, 1034 00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:24.679 see what happens, and then we'll just take our chances. 1035 00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:27.400 And that's what they did, and unfortunately they ran into 1036 00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:31.280 pitching against Detroit got swept season over, Bregman gone. So 1037 00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:33.360 for the if you're looking at the future, if you 1038 00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:35.760 think you're a World Series team, you do not trade 1039 00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:37.800 Fromber and you roll with it and you try to 1040 00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:39.480 make a deal somewhere. You may have to give up 1041 00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:41.840 assets or give up somebody you don't want to. But 1042 00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:43.719 if you think you're a World Series team, you owe 1043 00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:47.079 it to everybody to make a World Series decision. 1044 00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:47.960 At the deadline. 1045 00:47:48.679 --> 00:47:50.920 If you don't think you're a World Series team, you 1046 00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:53.960 have to at least float out there. If you know 1047 00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:56.079 that the price is going to be too steep for you, 1048 00:47:56.440 --> 00:47:58.840 which it's gonna be steep. If Fromber just does what 1049 00:47:58.840 --> 00:48:01.280 he does the rest of the year, he's gonna come back, 1050 00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:04.760 it's gonna be steep. And if he wants a four 1051 00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:06.559 or five year deal as a pitcher for a lot 1052 00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:10.639 of money, then history says he may not pay it. 1053 00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:15.000 So you got to decide two things, world Series team, 1054 00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:18.000 can we pay Fromber? If you're not a World Series team, 1055 00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:20.960 you have to at least entertain, not give him away. 1056 00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:23.840 You got to entertain. And the backside saying, well, on 1057 00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:25.840 the back burner, let's say it goes well, and we 1058 00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:28.280 win the Division and World World Saies type team, which 1059 00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:30.400 means he will have pitched like a cy young guy. 1060 00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:32.880 If they're gonna go there, he and Hunter Brown have 1061 00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:34.840 to pitch that way in the second half like they 1062 00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:36.800 did most of the time in the first half. And 1063 00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:38.800 if you think that he's a cy young guy and 1064 00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:40.559 you can't and you're not all in for the World 1065 00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:43.079 Series because you're banged up, you're not healthy, then you 1066 00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:45.119 have to at least say what can we get to 1067 00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:47.719 move forward because and that'll tell you everything you need 1068 00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:49.440 to know about how they feel about their team. 1069 00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:51.840 Now. I don't anticipate from is gonna. 1070 00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:52.960 Be gone because I think they think they're a World 1071 00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:55.440 Series team and they're gonna be optimistic about their health 1072 00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:58.639 and getting back. I think that's a long shot. But 1073 00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:00.719 if you don't believe that you're going to be fully 1074 00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:03.000 healthy the rest of the year, and you do not 1075 00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:06.599 believe that you're a World Series team, you have to 1076 00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:10.800 take those calls on him because history tells us you're 1077 00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:12.280 not going to pay the kind of money a left 1078 00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:15.760 handed starter who can be dominant and dynamic that you're 1079 00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:18.840 getting precise that you're going to just you're gonna sign him. 1080 00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:20.199 If you know you're all in on Fromber, I'm going 1081 00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:22.280 to sign him. Then then this is a moot point, 1082 00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:24.840 regardless if you're a playoff team or a World Series 1083 00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:26.800 team or not. But it's not just if you're a 1084 00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:29.719 playoff team. You got if if this is it and 1085 00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:31.559 you don't make you got to know you're a world 1086 00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:34.800 serious team before one of two things. You trade him 1087 00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:36.719 or at least you entertain it. If you think you 1088 00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:40.239 are Fromber, doesn't go anywhere, and we're gonna find out 1089 00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:41.760 in the next two weeks how they feel about the team. 1090 00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:43.199 I think he's going to be pitching in a second 1091 00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:45.199 a half. I don't think they're gonna get swept too 1092 00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:47.440 series in a row, and then it comes down to 1093 00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:49.559 health and how quickly can you get people back. But 1094 00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:51.679 you do have to make some kind of deal. A 1095 00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:54.320 wow factor deal would be moving Fromber. But that will 1096 00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:57.199 also tell you we are not intended, we're not intending 1097 00:49:57.239 --> 00:49:59.480 to sign him, and we are not a World Series 1098 00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:02.119 team in twin That's what you'll know in the next 1099 00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:03.119 two weeks. 1100 00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:05.719 Well, I mean, I think it's also you got to 1101 00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:07.760 fake it till you make it. For two fronts the 1102 00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:11.280 fans and also for your team. I mean, remember I've 1103 00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:14.519 brought this example up before twenty seventeen when they stood 1104 00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:17.320 pat at the trade deadline and Dallas Kaikol was in 1105 00:50:17.320 --> 00:50:18.480 the clubhouse saying. 1106 00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:19.000 What are we doing? 1107 00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:21.360 Like this team is in position to be able to 1108 00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:23.880 make a run, and that got to Jeff Luno, and 1109 00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:26.360 Jeff Luno said, all right, we'll find at the waiver 1110 00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:27.360 trade deadline. 1111 00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.239 We'll give you guys justin Verlander. You won the World 1112 00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:31.840 Series because you made that trade. 1113 00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:36.199 So I mean I think that you're you fully believe 1114 00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:40.519 and you said the group of Dana, Jim Crane, Joe Espada, 1115 00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:43.199 they believe that they're a World Series team, especially with 1116 00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:43.800 they're pitching. 1117 00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:47.119 Well, you're gonna find out. You're gonna find out now 1118 00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:49.360 play aft. You're gonna find out in the next couple weeks. 1119 00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:52.599 If they think they're World Series team, you'll know. You'll 1120 00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:55.159 know based on movement. If we don't have movement here 1121 00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:56.960 and you keep your big dogs and go, then then 1122 00:50:56.960 --> 00:50:58.800 they'll know we're all in. And I think they're all 1123 00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:01.559 in because we're all anticipating get some time point. They're 1124 00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:04.079 gonna get healthy. They are, And one thing you said, well, 1125 00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:07.039 you got to you gotta fool the fans and your team. Nah, 1126 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.719 I'll tell you who you can't fool is the guys 1127 00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:12.400 in the clubhouse. You ain't fooling them. They know exactly 1128 00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:15.079 who they are, They know exactly what they need, They 1129 00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:17.719 know exactly who can and can't sustain it, no matter 1130 00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:20.519 what they tell you in public. Behind scenes, they know 1131 00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:22.800 where their depth problems are and they know where the 1132 00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:25.000 weaknesses are just as well as they know where the 1133 00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:27.079 strengths are. So you may be able to fool me 1134 00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:29.559 and you were a fan, but you ain't fooling You're 1135 00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:31.440 not feeling fooling the guys in the clubhouse. I've never 1136 00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:32.920 been on a team where we didn't know before the 1137 00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:36.599 front office knew. You already know who can sustain it, 1138 00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:40.760 who's living on the edge, meaning this guy is overachieved, 1139 00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:44.199 this guy's been an underachiever, but he'll come around. Don't 1140 00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:46.159 think they don't know about Jordan, how long it's going 1141 00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:47.559 to take in a club. But they stay away from 1142 00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:49.800 the injury talk because that's not their job. But you 1143 00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:51.199 ain't fooling anybody in the clubhouse. 1144 00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:51.519 If you do. 1145 00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:54.559 That person's really dumb. Okay in the clay. If you're 1146 00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:57.000 fooling them on what your team needs, he ain't paying attention, 1147 00:51:57.159 --> 00:51:59.559 meaning a player. You're not fooling the players. You may 1148 00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:01.320 be able to full LUs, but you're not fooling the players. 1149 00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:03.920 You're gonna know if they think they're a world serious 1150 00:52:03.920 --> 00:52:08.599 team before before August first, you just are Fromber stays. 1151 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:10.880 They don't make a big deal, but they enhance their 1152 00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:13.199 roster a little bit. That'll tell you we believe we're 1153 00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:16.119 getting healthy and I'm not partnering with them. And maybe 1154 00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:18.800 it also tells you that maybe we are in the 1155 00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:21.480 Fromber sweep stakes next year, no matter what the price is. 1156 00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:24.119 That's what you gotta find out. And it's amazing how 1157 00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:26.960 quickly July first will be here past the deadline of 1158 00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:30.079 August first, pass the July thirty first deadline, but you'll 1159 00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:32.039 you'll get a pretty good picture. But you ain't fooling 1160 00:52:32.039 --> 00:52:33.840 the dudes in the clubhouse, because the second you try 1161 00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:35.960 to fool them, then they lose trust. 1162 00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:36.920 You're not fooling them. 1163 00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:39.239 And if they stay five games in front in the 1164 00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:42.239 next two weeks, they're not trading their starting pitcher. They 1165 00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:44.119 believe they're gonna go win it be all in hell, 1166 00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:46.800 they'll start thinking like they're there gonna get the best, 1167 00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:49.320 you know, best record, even though Detroit's gonna be tough 1168 00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:52.159 to chase. So I don't think that's gonna happen. But 1169 00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:54.679 all things got to be in play. But all of 1170 00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:57.440 it's gonna also stem from how healthy are we gonna 1171 00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.559 be when September and October roll around? Able to get 1172 00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:01.280 there in that far? 1173 00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:03.159 That's the biggest key. 1174 00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:05.079 And you gotta start getting some of those guys back 1175 00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:09.519 here sooner rather than later. We can continue the Astros 1176 00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:12.119 conversation as the show goes along. Seven one three, two 1177 00:53:12.199 --> 00:53:14.599 one two five seven ninety is the number to get in. 1178 00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:20.280 But also Sean invites especially two important events we'll discuss 1179 00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:22.719 right here.

Whenever what the conversation of wedding invites 1217 00:55:32.519 --> 00:55:33.119 comes up. 1218 00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:36.039 I couldn't disagree more. I mean I don't.

And you've got to deal, you know, with 1225 00:55:49.480 --> 00:55:51.239 not only your family, but somebody else family. 1226 00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:55.280 Two things.

I'm putting on the day we want, and 1232 00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:16.920 they'll always have a little vegetarian or gluten free dish. 1233 00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:20.000 But I'm not catering seventeen different meals. It's my wedding, 1234 00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:21.800 not there. It's if they fail, well, I can't show 1235 00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:23.480 up and eat them pack of frigging peanut butter and 1236 00:56:23.559 --> 00:56:25.920 jelly sandwich. There's got to be something you can eat 1237 00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:28.239 it though. If I'm inviting four hundred people, it's probably 1238 00:56:28.280 --> 00:56:32.320 an expensive wedding, and I'm not catering four hundred different meals. 1239 00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:36.039 So you can have your sushi instead of steak. If 1240 00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:38.559 you're allergic to red meat, then I suggest that you 1241 00:56:38.599 --> 00:56:41.119 load up a roll, put some butter on it, and 1242 00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:43.800 have something else. Now, if it's just one person, the 1243 00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:47.719 mother in law, and she'd like then of course you 1244 00:56:47.800 --> 00:56:50.280 make it special for them. I'm not changing the menu 1245 00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:53.440 for seventeen people I invited you. Well, I can't eat that. 1246 00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:56.079 Oh what a bummer. Hopefully you'll eat beforehand and come 1247 00:56:56.199 --> 00:56:58.320 grab yourself a drink. I ain't catering it to that. 1248 00:56:58.360 --> 00:57:01.000 It's not their wedding. They're invited love you to come, 1249 00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:03.360 and I'll make it. But I'm not sifting through four 1250 00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:06.119 hundred people and asking them, Hey, what do you like? 1251 00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:07.039 What are you allergic to? 1252 00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:09.599 If somebody says, you know what, I'm allergic to this, 1253 00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:10.519 I won't be able to eat. 1254 00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:10.960 That's okay. 1255 00:57:11.000 --> 00:57:12.719 We'll give you a dish, or we'll make you a 1256 00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:14.840 burger in the back of the We'll cook you a 1257 00:57:14.840 --> 00:57:16.639 burger and bring it in a tenfoil. 1258 00:57:16.760 --> 00:57:17.159 Okay. 1259 00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:20.360 Nah, and I cater and just said, it's not their wedding. 1260 00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:22.719 They're coming there. They'll just have to adjust. I'm not 1261 00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:25.840 going to make my fiance adjust well and let them 1262 00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:27.599 worry about, well, what if this person? You cater to 1263 00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:30.360 a small group, but this is our wedding. Hopefully there'll 1264 00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:33.360 be enough food there that everybody in most of the time. 1265 00:57:33.880 --> 00:57:38.159 Then if you're vegetarian, eat the salad. That's okay. I'm 1266 00:57:38.199 --> 00:57:39.960 not worried about that. I got too much to worry 1267 00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:42.760 about if I'm planning a wedding. Secondly, I can guarant 1268 00:57:42.760 --> 00:57:44.960 ask to you. If I say, give me your tie, 1269 00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:48.679 I'll put receipts on you. I guarantee you you don't 1270 00:57:48.719 --> 00:57:51.760 know your five best friends, middle name I guarant asked 1271 00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:54.239 to it. If you do, show me the receipts and 1272 00:57:54.280 --> 00:57:57.159 post it right now. Tell me right now which Okay, 1273 00:57:58.119 --> 00:58:01.039 who's the best man in your wedding when you have it? 1274 00:58:01.079 --> 00:58:02.320 Do you have to you know who you're Brokay? 1275 00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:04.840 Who's who?

Okay? 1276 00:58:04.840 --> 00:58:07.480 Well, of course, okay, give me give me a give 1277 00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:09.360 me one of your friend's names that may be invited 1278 00:58:09.360 --> 00:58:11.079 as a as a as a grimsman. 1279 00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:13.679 Not they fail? What's that? 1280 00:58:14.639 --> 00:58:15.400 I already fail? 1281 00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:20.320 They okay, so so so so remember, Well, there you go. 1282 00:58:20.400 --> 00:58:22.079 It doesn't matter. You don't know. 1283 00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:25.199 You think I'm gonna search my best friend, my five 1284 00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:27.239 best friends in the world right now outside of my 1285 00:58:27.480 --> 00:58:30.800 you know, my sons or my brothers, my five best 1286 00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:32.960 friends in the world. I have zero idea what their 1287 00:58:32.960 --> 00:58:35.840 middle name is. And they don't know that. They think 1288 00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:38.360 my first name Sean. I'm Richard Sean, so Sean is 1289 00:58:38.360 --> 00:58:42.119 my middle name. So whatever that bar whoever put that there, No, 1290 00:58:42.639 --> 00:58:44.199 I don't know who that is. But I can tell 1291 00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:47.119 you this that that that is. That's nothing but hyperbolic. 1292 00:58:47.480 --> 00:58:49.639 Let me get clicks and so I can get into debate. 1293 00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:52.679 There's most ninety eight percent of the people in this 1294 00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:56.599 world have zero idea what their top ten friends middle 1295 00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:59.599 names are. I'm sitting here trying to think, Okay, Matt, 1296 00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:03.480 my best buddy, Joe, my teammates. I'm going through my 1297 00:59:03.480 --> 00:59:05.440 teammates or people that would be invited if I was 1298 00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:08.039 getting married. Again, you don't know their middle name. So 1299 00:59:08.079 --> 00:59:11.519 that's hogwash, that's that's nothing but clickbait crap. There's no 1300 00:59:11.559 --> 00:59:13.360 way and you don't know it, and you're saying, yep, 1301 00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:14.480 I can read into that. 1302 00:59:14.719 --> 00:59:15.199 You can't. 1303 00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:17.239 You can't tell me the middle name of anybody but 1304 00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:19.679 your brother. So you not invite any of your friends 1305 00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:22.039 and don't invite them. So if somebody doesn't know my 1306 00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:24.760 middle name, yeah, don't invite me. I'm not quit invite me. 1307 00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:26.440 I'm not going to your wedding because you know my 1308 00:59:26.440 --> 00:59:29.679 middle name. Awfully presumptuous to you. I don't give a 1309 00:59:29.800 --> 00:59:31.440 rats ass what's your middle name? I don't know your 1310 00:59:31.480 --> 00:59:33.280 middle name, and you sit across from me four hours 1311 00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:36.000 a day. I have no idea and I don't care 1312 00:59:36.039 --> 00:59:39.840 what your middle name is. Okay, so to me. But 1313 00:59:39.920 --> 00:59:42.360 if you just said, well, yeah, okay, so are you 1314 00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:44.159 gonna base your guest list when you get married, on 1315 00:59:44.199 --> 00:59:46.519 whose middle names that's setting up in your who you're 1316 00:59:46.519 --> 00:59:47.159 gonna invite. 1317 00:59:48.440 --> 00:59:52.639 Oh, we've already determined it's immediate family and maybe a 1318 00:59:52.760 --> 00:59:55.760 couple of extended we're making it very small, right, that's 1319 00:59:55.880 --> 00:59:56.400 very recent. 1320 00:59:56.480 --> 00:59:59.159 So do the women don't know their best friend's middle 1321 00:59:59.239 --> 01:00:01.360 Maybe they know a little it more because they they 1322 01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:04.840 they I mean, women talk to their best friends like 1323 01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:07.320 fourteen times a day, where a guy can talk to 1324 01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:10.159 his best friend once once every three months, and then 1325 01:00:10.239 --> 01:00:12.760 nothing changes for us, where it's like we talked yesterday. 1326 01:00:12.840 --> 01:00:14.320 So that's kind of the way it works. 1327 01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:14.599 Man. 1328 01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:18.119 Nah that that's nothing more than a hyperbolic statement by them. 1329 01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:20.960 There is no damn way. Most people in this world 1330 01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:24.079 did get married the guy standing next to him. They 1331 01:00:24.119 --> 01:00:27.119 don't even know their middle name. Hell, if they're drunk enough, 1332 01:00:27.159 --> 01:00:29.920 they may forget the first name. Most people call somebody 1333 01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:32.039 by hey, buddy, how you doing, dude, because they don't 1334 01:00:32.039 --> 01:00:35.320 even know their first name. Okay, so half the people 1335 01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:38.119 at the wedding, three koy. If it's a big wedding, 1336 01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:40.920 you don't even Oh yeah, oh man, that was one 1337 01:00:40.920 --> 01:00:42.559 of my free Yeah we invited him.

Don't invite me, and then they're pissed 1341 01:00:51.519 --> 01:00:53.199 off and they didn't invite. Oh, sorry, dude, I didn't 1342 01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:56.199 know your middle name, so I left you out. Okay, 1343 01:00:56.239 --> 01:00:58.239 So if you're going to be a groomsman in my 1344 01:00:58.320 --> 01:01:00.199 wedding and I don't know my best my buddy he's 1345 01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:03.320 middle name, man, Sorry, dude, I could invite you.

And 1352 01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:20.039 you and I both know it because you don't know, 1353 01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:21.800 and you're not gonna You're not gonna study their middle 1354 01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:24.199 names either, because you don't give a fuzzy rats ass, 1355 01:01:24.199 --> 01:01:24.920 and neither do I. 1356 01:01:26.039 --> 01:01:28.320 Well, I mean, I just I just know that there's 1357 01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:30.320 a lot of anxiety that comes with it, and you 1358 01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:33.199 know the day is supposed to be a special day. 1359 01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:35.039 Which it is. I mean, you know, it's just anything 1360 01:01:35.039 --> 01:01:36.760 worth doing takes a lot of hard work. 1361 01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:37.000 Back. 1362 01:01:37.119 --> 01:01:40.079 Family and close friends ruined weddings more than other people do. 1363 01:01:40.679 --> 01:01:42.119 I don't need to know their middle name to have 1364 01:01:42.159 --> 01:01:44.719 them ruined or not ruin my wedding.

Hell, 1413 01:03:35.519 --> 01:03:37.480 half the time, I don't remember my first name. So 1414 01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:40.360 and I got a good memory. So now the lead. 1415 01:03:40.400 --> 01:03:41.920 I don't know who's allergic to red meat, but I 1416 01:03:41.960 --> 01:03:45.639 would imagine vegetarians feel like they are so whatever allergic 1417 01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:47.960 or don't eat it. So and I'm not catering my 1418 01:03:48.079 --> 01:03:51.199 menu to five people when there's four hundred people there. 1419 01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:53.440 That's on them. They can find something to eat with 1420 01:03:53.480 --> 01:03:55.519 all the money you spent, and that takes away. If 1421 01:03:55.559 --> 01:03:57.760 I got to think about that, that just adds anxiety 1422 01:03:57.760 --> 01:03:59.880 and stress. This is supposed to be a stress for 1423 01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:03.320 event and go once the menu set, either show up 1424 01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:05.559 and eat it or sit your ass through drive through. 1425 01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:07.679 What a burger that's your deal? That's not a meat 1426 01:04:07.760 --> 01:04:10.280 that's not a meat problem. 1427 01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:12.039 It's actually not a bad idea for the other one, 1428 01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:13.400 because I think they have a food truck. 1429 01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:17.239 Great, you have five menus on there and something on there. 1430 01:04:17.320 --> 01:04:20.079 You can eat that for everybody. There'll be enough at 1431 01:04:20.079 --> 01:04:23.440 a wedding for every shrimp cocktail. Here, you get a 1432 01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:26.079 little food, just finger foods here, a salad here, big 1433 01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:29.159 old prime. Whatever it is to sit down dinner I 1434 01:04:29.199 --> 01:04:31.039 can make now. I for one, the mother in law 1435 01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:34.039 is really really allergic to eighty seven foods, and she'll 1436 01:04:34.079 --> 01:04:37.360 pass out and look like, you know, like Martin Short 1437 01:04:37.400 --> 01:04:39.239 and in one of those Pure Luck or whatever the 1438 01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:41.519 movie is.

Thank you, and 1443 01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:57.559 have yourself a drink and take two weeks off and 1444 01:04:57.599 --> 01:04:58.679 don't come to the next one. 1445 01:04:58.719 --> 01:05:02.000 So there you go.

So but yeah, man, I mean some people 1592 01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:23.199 like big ones. I mean that's up to them. Where 1593 01:11:23.239 --> 01:11:26.479 it spans the globe. When they're doing it right, they 1594 01:11:26.560 --> 01:11:29.039 can do whatever they want. But for me, yeah, probably 1595 01:11:29.039 --> 01:11:31.840 a little big. But I got hell, I got you know, 1596 01:11:32.079 --> 01:11:35.199 a handful of buddies that I would if I if 1597 01:11:35.239 --> 01:11:37.000 I was doing it that way, that I would. Yeah, 1598 01:11:37.319 --> 01:11:39.720 but you know the people who have fifteen and I'm 1599 01:11:39.720 --> 01:11:41.439 sure not going to say, well, three of my buddies 1600 01:11:41.479 --> 01:11:44.800 are coming and you got fifteen bridesmaids. Well now I 1601 01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:46.520 got to go in and start matching them up. So 1602 01:11:46.560 --> 01:11:49.720 it's an even thing across the board. So yeah, sometimes 1603 01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:52.760 less is more. But for some, the bigger, the bigger, 1604 01:11:52.800 --> 01:11:54.880 the gaudier, the more oh my gosh, we got all 1605 01:11:54.960 --> 01:11:57.560 see the more people that just to me, the more trust, 1606 01:11:57.920 --> 01:12:00.840 the more headache it is. That's just it's just my opinion. 1607 01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:02.880 We'll have a big party afterwards. You can all come, 1608 01:12:02.960 --> 01:12:05.399 nobody has to worry about anything, put on your jeans 1609 01:12:05.479 --> 01:12:07.680 or your shorts, and drink tequila and have a blast. 1610 01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:11.680 But yeah, it's something, you know what. For some it's everything, 1611 01:12:11.720 --> 01:12:14.680 the one time and the pomp and circumstance. I don't 1612 01:12:14.720 --> 01:12:17.039 have a problem with it. I've been to Catholic weddings 1613 01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:19.239 that take three hours. Now, I've been to weddings that 1614 01:12:19.279 --> 01:12:21.239 take eight minutes. I kind of like the eight minute one, 1615 01:12:21.239 --> 01:12:23.760 but it's their moment, so I'm just gonna enjoy it 1616 01:12:23.760 --> 01:12:27.119 either way. But yeah, fifteen people standing up there, and 1617 01:12:27.159 --> 01:12:29.159 fifteen of them I won't know their middle name unless 1618 01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:33.359 it's unless it's one of my kids or by a 1619 01:12:33.399 --> 01:12:35.159 brother of mine, meaning my family. 1620 01:12:36.680 --> 01:12:40.439 Hey, the reception open bar, beer and wine, beer and wine, 1621 01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:40.920 cash bar. 1622 01:12:41.079 --> 01:12:42.920 Oh I can't make it. I'm sorry. 1623 01:12:43.000 --> 01:12:43.199 Yeah. 1624 01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:47.960 My philosophy is this, when I invite people, I'm giving. 1625 01:12:48.239 --> 01:12:51.399 If I'm inviting you, there's going to be more than beer. 1626 01:12:51.560 --> 01:12:53.079 That's just me and people can do it. Have as 1627 01:12:53.079 --> 01:12:55.399 small as you want, and if you know, I'm not 1628 01:12:55.439 --> 01:12:57.600 telling them how to do it. But if I'm inviting you, 1629 01:12:57.880 --> 01:12:59.880 I'm probably not making you pay cash. 1630 01:13:00.079 --> 01:13:01.760 You come there and enjoy. It's on me. 1631 01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:04.800 It's the moment we spend all this money. Yeah, and 1632 01:13:04.840 --> 01:13:06.239 if you don't want to do it that way, put 1633 01:13:06.279 --> 01:13:08.159 all that money towards the down payment on a house, 1634 01:13:08.439 --> 01:13:10.319 have a little party, get the way to go over 1635 01:13:10.399 --> 01:13:13.159 with and enjoy yourself. I've got a lot of suggestions, 1636 01:13:13.159 --> 01:13:14.880 but I'm not gonna te anybody how to live it. 1637 01:13:14.880 --> 01:13:17.119 But I ain't having it. If I'm getting married, i 1638 01:13:17.119 --> 01:13:19.760 ain't having a five hundred person wedding. It's not Plus 1639 01:13:19.800 --> 01:13:21.520 if they do, it'll be a short lived because I'm 1640 01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:25.119 only not short lived marriage. But we're out of this 1641 01:13:25.239 --> 01:13:27.880 by the time it starts and done. You can look 1642 01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:31.640 at your clock. You will not be twenty minutes, fifteen minutes, 1643 01:13:31.680 --> 01:13:34.159 may be you'll be done and we'll be partying. That's 1644 01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:36.439 the whole thing. The reception of the party. They get 1645 01:13:36.439 --> 01:13:38.680 through a few things, thank you, love you, boom, let's go. 1646 01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:42.039 But some people like the long drawn out process and 1647 01:13:42.079 --> 01:13:44.359 that's them. And if they invite me, I'll show up 1648 01:13:44.399 --> 01:13:46.680 if I possibly can. But if they don't, then good 1649 01:13:46.760 --> 01:13:48.319 luck to them, and I'll buy you a drink after 1650 01:13:48.479 --> 01:13:49.119 no big deal. 1651 01:13:50.279 --> 01:13:51.439 Yeah, no hard feelings. 1652 01:13:51.479 --> 01:13:53.399 That's that's what we always try to go through life, 1653 01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:57.239 not to making sure that you're wrong people or yourself 1654 01:13:57.319 --> 01:13:59.960 are wrong. So those are things we try to live by. 1655 01:14:00.479 --> 01:14:02.880 Someone three two on two five seven ninety is the 1656 01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:05.359 number to get in again? Someone three two one two 1657 01:14:05.479 --> 01:14:09.279 five seven ninety. Steve Sarkisian, what did he say that 1658 01:14:09.439 --> 01:14:10.840 got people wondering it? 1659 01:14:11.000 --> 01:14:13.560 Dude? Seriously, we'll talk about it right here. 1660 01:14:13.640 --> 01:14:16.600 It is Sean Salisbury Show on a Thursday, Sports Talk 1661 01:14:16.680 --> 01:14:17.279 seven ninety. 1662 01:14:19.039 --> 01:14:23.199 Let the celebration start more Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk 1663 01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:23.880 seven ninety. 1664 01:14:26.720 --> 01:14:29.039 As we've been talking college football all throughout the week 1665 01:14:29.079 --> 01:14:32.279 and really all throughout this offseason, name image and likeness 1666 01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:34.800 has come up quite a bit, and a lot of 1667 01:14:34.840 --> 01:14:38.479 people point to Texas as being a school that is 1668 01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:41.159 one of the ones who are the most aggressive when 1669 01:14:41.199 --> 01:14:45.000 it comes to name, image and likeness. So Steve Sarkisian 1670 01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:47.840 was in the main press conference room a couple of 1671 01:14:47.920 --> 01:14:50.279 days ago and he was he was asked about name, 1672 01:14:50.319 --> 01:14:52.760 image and likeness and how is he how he used 1673 01:14:52.800 --> 01:14:56.319 it in recruiting, and this is what he said, is 1674 01:14:56.359 --> 01:14:59.560 their attact when it comes to addressing it with said recruits. 1675 01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:02.960 I think sometimes quite frankly, I think it hurts us 1676 01:15:03.000 --> 01:15:06.000 a little bit in recruiting and the fact that when 1677 01:15:06.079 --> 01:15:08.560 kids come on our campus, one of the first things 1678 01:15:08.600 --> 01:15:11.359 we do we don't talk about NIL. We don't talk 1679 01:15:11.399 --> 01:15:14.359 about NIL or revenue sharing or publicity rights until the 1680 01:15:14.479 --> 01:15:17.399 very end. And that may hurt us on some kids. 1681 01:15:17.680 --> 01:15:20.560 But if a kid is coming to Texas for that reason, 1682 01:15:20.720 --> 01:15:21.760 we don't want them anyway. 1683 01:15:22.199 --> 01:15:22.399 You know. 1684 01:15:22.439 --> 01:15:24.319 We want kids that want to be at the University 1685 01:15:24.359 --> 01:15:27.720 of Texas because of the school, the coaches, the team, 1686 01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:29.880 the culture, all those things. 1687 01:15:29.640 --> 01:15:30.279 That go into it. 1688 01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:33.199 And oh, by the way, you can get publicity rights 1689 01:15:33.239 --> 01:15:34.800 or revenue share, so on and so forth. 1690 01:15:36.239 --> 01:15:38.800 All right, So Sean, in fairness, he didn't say they 1691 01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:39.840 don't talk about it. 1692 01:15:40.119 --> 01:15:41.880 He just said they don't lead with it. 1693 01:15:41.960 --> 01:15:45.760 But immediately after those comments came out, people started to 1694 01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:50.239 jump on and go on Twitter and post the videos 1695 01:15:50.279 --> 01:15:54.239 and pictures of the Lamborghinis on the sidelines there at 1696 01:15:54.319 --> 01:15:59.199 Darryl K. Royal Memorial Stadium to kind of be like, oh, sure, coach, 1697 01:15:59.279 --> 01:16:00.720 you don't talk about it, do you. 1698 01:16:01.560 --> 01:16:06.479 Well, who's got as big a collective slash nil wallet 1699 01:16:06.520 --> 01:16:07.680 as there is in college. 1700 01:16:07.399 --> 01:16:10.119 Football Ohio State? 1701 01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:13.920 But I say as big to Texas is as big 1702 01:16:13.920 --> 01:16:18.680 as anybody's make it. Put it this way, when you're 1703 01:16:19.159 --> 01:16:22.359 with the collective, and you know there's some great people 1704 01:16:22.439 --> 01:16:25.560 running collectives in University of Texas has some great people 1705 01:16:25.600 --> 01:16:29.560 involved and some people that care about the University Texas. 1706 01:16:29.600 --> 01:16:32.039 If they ain't first, they ain't fifth. As far as 1707 01:16:32.479 --> 01:16:35.720 the resources they have, let's put it at resources. They 1708 01:16:35.720 --> 01:16:40.319 have to pay whatever they want and however they decide 1709 01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:42.239 they want to do it. It's not going to be because 1710 01:16:42.239 --> 01:16:44.239 a lack of money. Let's put it that way. So 1711 01:16:44.720 --> 01:16:46.960 I understand what Starks saying. He said, we don't approach 1712 01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:49.319 to a last I understand that philosophy. You're trying to 1713 01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:52.239 get the kid to buy into the program that you're 1714 01:16:52.319 --> 01:16:54.640 not just eliminating the ability to recruit. 1715 01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:56.840 I was saying this yesterday. 1716 01:16:57.199 --> 01:17:01.000 What Nil has done, it's taken away on another show 1717 01:17:01.039 --> 01:17:04.840 I do it is taking this away a great recruiters, 1718 01:17:05.119 --> 01:17:07.760 like a Kirby Smart, like a Nick Saban, like an 1719 01:17:07.960 --> 01:17:10.479 ed Orgeron when he was there, great recruiter, whether he's 1720 01:17:10.520 --> 01:17:13.560 a head coach or an assistant, great recruiter. But now 1721 01:17:13.800 --> 01:17:15.880 it's no longer you're you're the fact that you can 1722 01:17:15.880 --> 01:17:18.600 out recruit. While recruiting matters, you've got to be it's 1723 01:17:18.640 --> 01:17:23.039 an ATM. Are you an investment bankers? It's not great recruiter. 1724 01:17:23.039 --> 01:17:24.640 Now are you a great banker? If you're a great 1725 01:17:24.680 --> 01:17:28.159 investment banker and you're a good ATM machine, that's that's 1726 01:17:28.159 --> 01:17:30.079 far more than can you recruit, because if you walk 1727 01:17:30.079 --> 01:17:32.640 in you're the best recruiter in the world. But you are, 1728 01:17:32.680 --> 01:17:34.920 and you're we're talking about kids that are getting that 1729 01:17:34.960 --> 01:17:37.039 are part of that are going to get paid. Everybody 1730 01:17:37.039 --> 01:17:39.479 doesn't get paid, but the best recruits. If you walk 1731 01:17:39.520 --> 01:17:41.880 in there and you're selling your program but there ain't 1732 01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:44.720 money attached to it, you're gonna lose out to somebody 1733 01:17:44.720 --> 01:17:47.159 that there is. Hence why a Texas tech team who 1734 01:17:47.199 --> 01:17:50.760 wouldn't be considered a university, wouldn't be considered a top 1735 01:17:50.840 --> 01:17:54.720 fifteen or twenty program before this money, although there's money 1736 01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:57.279 there that is invested in ANIL. 1737 01:17:57.439 --> 01:17:58.279 I love the program. 1738 01:17:58.319 --> 01:17:58.640 I love it. 1739 01:17:58.640 --> 01:18:00.520 They're they've turned it into a bit this model and 1740 01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:03.000 they're kicking ass. They've got a good coach. There's good 1741 01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:05.279 football players all over Texas and they're going to be 1742 01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:07.640 a major player, which we've mentioned on the show before. 1743 01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:10.720 So sarks right, I mean, you'd like to convince him, 1744 01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:13.039 and he probably do. Wait till it's last, But make 1745 01:18:13.079 --> 01:18:16.279 no mistake, Sometimes we save the best for last. And 1746 01:18:16.319 --> 01:18:19.159 when you can parade people out and there's Lamborghinis or 1747 01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:23.399 Porsches or Ferrari's hanging outside the complex, guess what, that's 1748 01:18:23.439 --> 01:18:24.880 a good way to end the story. 1749 01:18:25.279 --> 01:18:26.000 So you do that. 1750 01:18:26.079 --> 01:18:28.119 So what it's done is like Coach o Oh used 1751 01:18:28.119 --> 01:18:29.720 to be able to go in and recruit people. If 1752 01:18:29.760 --> 01:18:32.159 Coach o now was going into recruit people, but came 1753 01:18:32.199 --> 01:18:34.279 in there with an empty wallet and there's three teams 1754 01:18:34.880 --> 01:18:37.279 going after a five star, you will lose out most 1755 01:18:37.279 --> 01:18:40.920 of the time. Now, so this is leveled the field. 1756 01:18:41.159 --> 01:18:44.960 It didn't make Saban the best recruiter in the world anymore, 1757 01:18:44.960 --> 01:18:47.399 because well I may be the best recruiter, but I 1758 01:18:47.399 --> 01:18:50.319 don't have the investment banker behind me to the ATM 1759 01:18:50.399 --> 01:18:52.760 machine to back it up. And that's just the simple fact. 1760 01:18:52.840 --> 01:18:55.359 So sarks right, who may may do it last, would 1761 01:18:55.359 --> 01:18:59.199 make no mistake. If all things being equal, they can negotiate. 1762 01:18:59.279 --> 01:19:03.039 They've got the resources to pay whatever they need to pay, 1763 01:19:03.079 --> 01:19:04.720 if that's what it calls keeping up, whether they do 1764 01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:07.319 or not it's on them. So yes, they do. But 1765 01:19:07.680 --> 01:19:10.159 if you're not involved in it, you are getting how 1766 01:19:10.199 --> 01:19:12.000 the rules. We may like the rules, but the rules 1767 01:19:12.000 --> 01:19:13.760 say you're you can be involved in it and this 1768 01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:17.880 nil stuff. If you're not, you will get left behind, simple, 1769 01:19:18.119 --> 01:19:21.560 you just will until they regulate this. So yeah, there's 1770 01:19:21.600 --> 01:19:24.760 a little bit of BS there, but he didn't say 1771 01:19:25.000 --> 01:19:27.039 we don't do it. Hit us that we do it 1772 01:19:27.079 --> 01:19:29.079 at the end. And sometimes that's a good clothe You 1773 01:19:29.119 --> 01:19:31.680 gotta have a good closure. That's their Marianna Rivera and 1774 01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:34.159 it's a good one and they're good at it, and 1775 01:19:34.239 --> 01:19:39.079 rightfully so. But the great recruiters, now, the great equalizer 1776 01:19:39.159 --> 01:19:41.079 kicked in and that's your ATM machine at a bank 1777 01:19:41.119 --> 01:19:43.439 for your recruits. And that's just a simple fact. And 1778 01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:46.279 so yeah, don't let Texas fool you when they talk 1779 01:19:46.279 --> 01:19:48.000 about people that are in the top five or top 1780 01:19:48.039 --> 01:19:50.760 ten and having that resource Texans is I mean, the 1781 01:19:50.840 --> 01:19:52.680 University of Texas is near the top of the list. 1782 01:19:53.880 --> 01:19:55.960 Yeah, and I mean you missioned at ATM. 1783 01:19:56.000 --> 01:19:59.479 It is pretty big in Austin and adapt or die 1784 01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:03.000 very much the way that college football is now. 1785 01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:05.960 And Texas fully realizes that. So we can. 1786 01:20:05.840 --> 01:20:08.479 Continue that conversation if you want someone three two one 1787 01:20:08.520 --> 01:20:11.199 two five seven ninety against seOne three two one two 1788 01:20:11.680 --> 01:20:15.439 five seven ninety. But to open up our three, just 1789 01:20:15.479 --> 01:20:19.960 how aggressive could the Astros be? We might have an indication. 1790 01:20:20.079 --> 01:20:22.560 We'll talk about it right here at the trade deadline 1791 01:20:22.680 --> 01:20:25.920 as we continue here on the Shawn Salisbury Show on 1792 01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:31.560 a Thursday, Sports Talk seven ninety. 1793 01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:33.479 A Houston AD two Houston iHeart Radio station. 1794 01:20:35.640 --> 01:20:40.439 And the Rocket Sports Talk seven ninety your home for 1795 01:20:40.520 --> 01:20:42.199 your home teams. 1796 01:20:41.680 --> 01:20:45.319 From the Parsons Imagine Next Studios. 1797 01:20:48.079 --> 01:20:49.359 Saulsbury. 1798 01:20:51.560 --> 01:20:56.680 Salisbury, Houston. Okay, let's do this. Sean Salisbury. 1799 01:20:58.199 --> 01:21:02.039 To USC troupe, longtime friend showns Dan matthewsxcues. 1800 01:21:03.319 --> 01:21:10.199 This is the Sean Sells Very Show, final. 1801 01:21:09.960 --> 01:21:12.000 Day of the SEC media Days. 1802 01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:14.199 The Aggie's going to make their way through here a 1803 01:21:14.199 --> 01:21:18.039 little bit later on this afternoon, and the Astros in 1804 01:21:18.199 --> 01:21:21.079 Mariners going to get back on the field tomorrow night 1805 01:21:21.119 --> 01:21:25.000 to start the second half of the season. One of 1806 01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:28.520 sixty six left to go this year, and the Open 1807 01:21:28.560 --> 01:21:33.000 Championship happening over at Royal Port Rush and Jacob Scove 1808 01:21:33.159 --> 01:21:36.800 Olison is tied with Hal tong Lee for the lead 1809 01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:40.640 at four under but Sean, it is at that time 1810 01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:43.159 of the year where the trade deadline is coming up, 1811 01:21:43.199 --> 01:21:45.920 and of course, you know you start searching, you know, 1812 01:21:46.039 --> 01:21:48.840 furiously for rumors out there. You know, who are the 1813 01:21:48.880 --> 01:21:51.600 Astros connected to, who are they interested in? Who are 1814 01:21:51.600 --> 01:21:54.600 you hearing that they're making calls on it. That's not 1815 01:21:54.640 --> 01:21:59.319 what this is. It's cbssports dot Com breaking down their 1816 01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:03.600 you know, just break down of the league of obvious buyers, 1817 01:22:04.000 --> 01:22:09.760 probable buyers, somewhere in the middle, possible sellers and obvious 1818 01:22:09.960 --> 01:22:12.199 sellers out there, and the Astros are part of the 1819 01:22:12.239 --> 01:22:16.880 group that are the obvious buyers. And the piece here 1820 01:22:17.039 --> 01:22:21.279 is written by Dan Perry of cbssports dot Com. Injuries 1821 01:22:21.319 --> 01:22:24.800 and departures keep hitting Houston and they just keep contending. 1822 01:22:24.840 --> 01:22:27.319 The break finds them with a hefty five game lead 1823 01:22:27.319 --> 01:22:31.119 in the Al West, and that means by mode in particular, 1824 01:22:31.159 --> 01:22:33.439 they'll be looking for a left handed bat, perhaps another 1825 01:22:33.479 --> 01:22:38.079 starting pitcher. Given that the Astros basically full rotation is 1826 01:22:38.159 --> 01:22:40.960 on the il, the promise of a ninth straight trip 1827 01:22:41.039 --> 01:22:46.039 to the playoffs will guide their decisions, as it should, so, 1828 01:22:46.800 --> 01:22:49.359 I mean they expect the Astros to be buyers. We 1829 01:22:49.439 --> 01:22:52.039 expect the Astros to be buyers. It's just now a 1830 01:22:52.119 --> 01:22:54.880 question of are they going to be able to meet 1831 01:22:55.199 --> 01:22:57.680 the expectations that people are going to be looking for 1832 01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:00.640 when Dana Brown continues to ramp up these phone calls. 1833 01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:04.319 Yeah, and the expectations meet the expectations of the people. 1834 01:23:04.960 --> 01:23:06.760 And I'm talking I'm not talking about me and you 1835 01:23:06.800 --> 01:23:08.920 and the fans. I'm talking about the expectations of their 1836 01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:11.000 club and the team they're trading with, of what they're 1837 01:23:11.039 --> 01:23:14.319 looking for and what the opposing team's willing to give up. 1838 01:23:14.359 --> 01:23:17.560 I would think that they're going to be buyers as well, unless, 1839 01:23:17.560 --> 01:23:20.000 of course, in the next two weeks they think they're 1840 01:23:20.039 --> 01:23:22.800 not a World Series type team. If you think you're 1841 01:23:22.840 --> 01:23:25.159 a one and done team in the postseason, you may 1842 01:23:25.159 --> 01:23:27.680 think different about assets you're going to give away. If 1843 01:23:27.720 --> 01:23:29.880 they think they're a World Series team, which I fully believe, 1844 01:23:29.960 --> 01:23:33.239 and just from my judgment of interviewing Steve Sparks and 1845 01:23:33.319 --> 01:23:37.560 Dana Brown every week, my guess is, and they're five 1846 01:23:37.600 --> 01:23:40.119 games in front of first place, I would think that 1847 01:23:40.119 --> 01:23:41.880 they believe that they are going to be hanging around, 1848 01:23:41.960 --> 01:23:46.720 especially in an American league that while Boston's playing great baseball, 1849 01:23:46.840 --> 01:23:49.319 Detroit is at the top of the list. It's good, 1850 01:23:49.920 --> 01:23:52.520 trust me, it's good. But you can win the American 1851 01:23:52.600 --> 01:23:55.680 League if you can match Detroit's pitching staff or anybody 1852 01:23:55.680 --> 01:23:58.439 else who rolls along there. If Seattle is in the playoffs, 1853 01:23:58.520 --> 01:24:02.159 or if the Texas Rangers are in as well, the Astros, 1854 01:24:02.199 --> 01:24:04.479 if they can get that type of performance from their 1855 01:24:04.520 --> 01:24:06.920 front line, get a couple guys healthy, different story that 1856 01:24:07.000 --> 01:24:09.600 they are not only a player, hell one of the 1857 01:24:09.600 --> 01:24:11.439 better records in the first half of the season, So 1858 01:24:11.479 --> 01:24:14.119 that tells you their player. Is it smoking mirrors? Hard 1859 01:24:14.119 --> 01:24:15.880 for me to believe you can be ninety some games 1860 01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:17.720 in it's all smoking mirrors. The question is can you 1861 01:24:17.720 --> 01:24:21.479 sustain it for sixty plus sixty five more? So, I'm 1862 01:24:21.479 --> 01:24:23.439 not worried about how you and I feel if they 1863 01:24:23.439 --> 01:24:25.680 make a trade that they think is worthy. You know, 1864 01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:27.600 they did one last year and thought that they would 1865 01:24:27.600 --> 01:24:30.439 be given up assets and that they would it would 1866 01:24:30.479 --> 01:24:34.239 be really good for them, and he pitched well coming 1867 01:24:34.279 --> 01:24:36.279 out of Toronto and they saw it, but they didn't 1868 01:24:36.279 --> 01:24:37.760 get to keep him and he never got to take 1869 01:24:37.800 --> 01:24:41.520 the mound because they got swept. So I believe they 1870 01:24:41.560 --> 01:24:44.439 are buyers, but we're going to know if they think 1871 01:24:44.479 --> 01:24:47.000 they're a World Series team soon, and I expect them 1872 01:24:47.000 --> 01:24:48.479 to hang around because they're not going to lose the 1873 01:24:48.560 --> 01:24:52.079 lead by the weekend. Even if they get swept, they'll 1874 01:24:52.079 --> 01:24:53.880 still be in first place. We're going to find out 1875 01:24:53.880 --> 01:24:55.920 who they think they are, and judging from our interviews, 1876 01:24:55.960 --> 01:24:58.720 I believe that they think they're World Series team. I 1877 01:24:58.760 --> 01:25:02.880 don't think they're giving away the fun and rebuilding now now. 1878 01:25:02.880 --> 01:25:05.560 If they were ten games out right now Frommer's name 1879 01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:07.600 would be coming up all over, as would other players 1880 01:25:07.680 --> 01:25:08.279 on this roster. 1881 01:25:08.479 --> 01:25:09.840 It's not they're in first place. 1882 01:25:10.119 --> 01:25:12.199 They got to get what happened fixed at the end 1883 01:25:12.239 --> 01:25:14.239 of the first half, and they've got to get healthy 1884 01:25:14.319 --> 01:25:16.079 if they really want to be a player. But I 1885 01:25:16.079 --> 01:25:17.760 don't know how we can argue, damn near one hundred 1886 01:25:17.800 --> 01:25:20.600 games in at how this team's been as resilient as 1887 01:25:20.640 --> 01:25:21.640 any team in baseball. 1888 01:25:23.560 --> 01:25:26.000 I mean, and it's also too what are the needs 1889 01:25:26.039 --> 01:25:26.560 of this team? 1890 01:25:26.600 --> 01:25:26.840 I mean? 1891 01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:29.720 I mentioned the Chandler Rome piece earlier. He'd even talked 1892 01:25:29.720 --> 01:25:32.520 about how the trade deadline could look for this team, 1893 01:25:32.560 --> 01:25:35.560 and left handed bat is one of them, and his 1894 01:25:35.960 --> 01:25:39.079 contention was, you'd be looking for a guy that's a 1895 01:25:39.199 --> 01:25:41.920 left handed bat can play second base for you, and 1896 01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:46.600 or could be somebody that can play left field, because 1897 01:25:46.640 --> 01:25:48.680 you're not moving camp Smith out of right field. That's 1898 01:25:48.680 --> 01:25:51.560 staying at least for the time being. You need a 1899 01:25:51.600 --> 01:25:55.479 center fielder because you appreciate what Taylor Tremmeel has done, 1900 01:25:55.720 --> 01:25:58.199 but you need somebody out there that can also be 1901 01:25:58.199 --> 01:26:00.000 able to provide some offense for you. 1902 01:26:00.119 --> 01:26:02.600 And maybe that enters into the equation. 1903 01:26:02.680 --> 01:26:05.800 I mean, because we've talked about the possibility of Cedric 1904 01:26:05.880 --> 01:26:09.520 Mullins being somebody who started off right this year but 1905 01:26:09.600 --> 01:26:12.319 then started to tail off as the season went on. 1906 01:26:12.800 --> 01:26:16.119 What about a guy like Andrew Benin Tendi Sean who 1907 01:26:16.239 --> 01:26:19.800 right now two thirty three and eleven homers, thirty five 1908 01:26:19.880 --> 01:26:22.279 runs batted in. We know that he is a guy 1909 01:26:22.600 --> 01:26:23.880 that can play a good outfield. 1910 01:26:25.000 --> 01:26:28.239 Cedric Mullins and Andrew ben and Tendy you know both 1911 01:26:28.279 --> 01:26:31.680 have had, you know, all star type moments both good players. 1912 01:26:31.920 --> 01:26:34.960 And Mullins is a good player. If you're talking about 1913 01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:37.399 a wow factor, deal, that ain't it. But it's a 1914 01:26:37.439 --> 01:26:40.479 piece you're exactly that's that will decide is it one 1915 01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:43.399 of those guys that did help your depth and can 1916 01:26:43.439 --> 01:26:46.479 make an impact and yeah, and neither one of them 1917 01:26:46.520 --> 01:26:49.720 went healthy. And Cam Smith, who's healthy, he's gonna be 1918 01:26:49.760 --> 01:26:52.359 playing right field. And when Jake Myers comes back, he's 1919 01:26:52.399 --> 01:26:55.079 in centerfield. So you're telling me as a left fielder. 1920 01:26:55.399 --> 01:26:56.960 So does that mean you're moving out to it back 1921 01:26:56.960 --> 01:26:59.119 to full time second base? If you're gonna go get 1922 01:26:59.119 --> 01:27:01.800 Cedric Mullens, you go get Andrew Ben and Tendi who's 1923 01:27:01.800 --> 01:27:02.800 a left fielder as well. 1924 01:27:03.119 --> 01:27:04.439 That's one thing you have to find out. 1925 01:27:04.520 --> 01:27:08.319 So is it a small piece move, like when you're 1926 01:27:08.319 --> 01:27:10.159 putting a puzzle together on your table and you're like, well, 1927 01:27:10.199 --> 01:27:12.880 where's that, Oh that one piece fell below your foot, 1928 01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:14.880 Go down and get it. Put in good good players 1929 01:27:15.359 --> 01:27:17.960 if that's all you're looking for. So is this going 1930 01:27:18.000 --> 01:27:19.279 to be a wow factor move? 1931 01:27:19.359 --> 01:27:22.279 That does it? But you need more than one piece if. 1932 01:27:22.119 --> 01:27:25.079 They As mentioned by Chandler Roman his article, it's almost 1933 01:27:25.079 --> 01:27:28.039 a five era for guys not named fromber and Hunter 1934 01:27:28.079 --> 01:27:31.079 Brown if you think and they're a five hundred team 1935 01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:34.319 when the other guys pitch for the most part. So 1936 01:27:34.399 --> 01:27:37.079 you got to decide if you think, and I don't 1937 01:27:37.119 --> 01:27:38.880 think right now, you can count on the fact that 1938 01:27:38.920 --> 01:27:42.159 even if they come back, how good are Garcia and 1939 01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:44.880 how good will you know Spencer be and how good 1940 01:27:44.920 --> 01:27:48.439 will Javier be as they ramp up? And really they've 1941 01:27:48.439 --> 01:27:50.920 got to go pitch elsewhere. I mean where you're looking 1942 01:27:50.920 --> 01:27:53.399 at still a ways away from that, But you got 1943 01:27:53.399 --> 01:27:54.880 to ask yourself, will they be ready. 1944 01:27:54.760 --> 01:27:57.279 To run the stretch down? If they're healthy to do it? 1945 01:27:57.600 --> 01:28:00.399 Pitcher? I think a power bat left tan. And it 1946 01:28:00.439 --> 01:28:02.560 also depends on not only you gotta get your on healthy. 1947 01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:05.279 You got to ask yourself, is yor don gonna be 1948 01:28:05.279 --> 01:28:07.279 the guy before he before he went on the il 1949 01:28:07.359 --> 01:28:09.720 for all these days? And that's something and you assume 1950 01:28:09.720 --> 01:28:11.960 he is because his history tells you he's a great player, 1951 01:28:12.359 --> 01:28:14.359 So I think there is. So if it's Mullins or 1952 01:28:14.359 --> 01:28:16.399 Been and Tendee, I don't know what that does for 1953 01:28:16.520 --> 01:28:18.920 oh wow, we're gonna crush it. It does add depth 1954 01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:22.000 and maybe, like always when people come here, they seem 1955 01:28:22.039 --> 01:28:24.520 to elevate their play, But is that the deal to 1956 01:28:24.560 --> 01:28:26.680 gets you over the top power wise? Neither one of 1957 01:28:26.720 --> 01:28:29.479 those guys are hitting you for thirty home runs, So 1958 01:28:29.560 --> 01:28:31.359 if you're just looking for that, it's one thing. And 1959 01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:34.840 Mullins there's some pop, but I'm talking about a guy 1960 01:28:34.880 --> 01:28:37.000 who every time he comes to the plate can can 1961 01:28:37.039 --> 01:28:39.680 produce at least has a chance to produce that big bat. 1962 01:28:39.760 --> 01:28:40.840 So we'll see. 1963 01:28:41.159 --> 01:28:42.840 I think if you're gonna make a move, you're looking 1964 01:28:42.920 --> 01:28:46.680 at more than one guy pitching and starting pitching and 1965 01:28:47.039 --> 01:28:49.880 you know, a thumper at the plate. The question is 1966 01:28:49.920 --> 01:28:51.680 what do you got to give up to get the 1967 01:28:51.720 --> 01:28:54.279 wow factor guy as opposed to the guy? And Baltimore 1968 01:28:54.319 --> 01:28:56.720 seems they're not afraid to give guys and give guys 1969 01:28:56.760 --> 01:28:58.520 up right now. And this is a team for the 1970 01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:01.159 last two three years has been who look at the 1971 01:29:01.199 --> 01:29:05.239 strides they've made, well right now they're willing to part 1972 01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:07.199 The question is who are they willing to part with 1973 01:29:07.239 --> 01:29:09.199 and how many of them? And around baseball, what do 1974 01:29:09.239 --> 01:29:10.479 you got to give up to get a guy that's 1975 01:29:10.520 --> 01:29:12.760 not a wow factor player? And if you do, go 1976 01:29:12.880 --> 01:29:16.680 get a big time this guy's a monster. Now what 1977 01:29:16.720 --> 01:29:18.279 do you do to deplete what you have? And are 1978 01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:19.520 you gonna have to give up a guy that's on 1979 01:29:19.520 --> 01:29:21.960 your rush? You gotta be careful not to disrupt what's 1980 01:29:22.000 --> 01:29:24.119 going on rhythm wise for this team, and it's been 1981 01:29:24.119 --> 01:29:26.720 going on pretty good this whole year. SAMs the last 1982 01:29:26.760 --> 01:29:28.399 six games before the All Star Break. 1983 01:29:29.199 --> 01:29:31.359 I just combed through and I look at some of 1984 01:29:31.399 --> 01:29:34.359 the guys out there that could fit the profile of 1985 01:29:34.880 --> 01:29:37.119 a left handed bat. And I mean we've mentioned a 1986 01:29:37.159 --> 01:29:39.199 couple of those names. Another guy that came up was 1987 01:29:39.279 --> 01:29:42.800 Ryan McMahon with the Colorado Rockies this year. He's down 1988 01:29:42.880 --> 01:29:46.520 both average and ops still thirteen homers and twenty eight 1989 01:29:46.600 --> 01:29:47.439 runs batted. 1990 01:29:47.239 --> 01:29:49.079 In and another left handed bat. 1991 01:29:49.720 --> 01:29:51.640 Yeah, and he's a guy that can play second base too. 1992 01:29:51.680 --> 01:29:54.760 He's played third, can play second, has even gotten some 1993 01:29:54.840 --> 01:29:57.560 work in over at first. So I think that you 1994 01:29:57.560 --> 01:30:00.880 wouldn't have to necessarily give up a ton or at 1995 01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:04.159 least two of those names. I wouldn't expect that the 1996 01:30:04.199 --> 01:30:07.039 White Sox are gonna expect a ton of money or 1997 01:30:07.600 --> 01:30:10.600 uh prospects back in return for a guy like Benintendie. 1998 01:30:10.640 --> 01:30:11.880 But the problem is is money. 1999 01:30:12.159 --> 01:30:15.239 He's seventeen point one this year, next year in the 2000 01:30:15.319 --> 01:30:18.640 year after that, so that also feeds into it. I 2001 01:30:18.680 --> 01:30:20.920 just think that if you're looking for the most bang 2002 01:30:21.000 --> 01:30:23.560 for your buck here, Sean, then that's got to be 2003 01:30:23.600 --> 01:30:24.279 starting pitching. 2004 01:30:25.359 --> 01:30:27.079 Oh, I don't think, well, if it goes by what 2005 01:30:27.079 --> 01:30:29.600 they all believe, pitching pitching pitching, if you have the 2006 01:30:29.720 --> 01:30:32.840 If you have your druthers, which one would it be 2007 01:30:33.000 --> 01:30:35.880 one or the other? You're you're gonna go get the 2008 01:30:35.920 --> 01:30:40.840 pitcher because you can survive. You can win if you 2009 01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:45.880 If you are not a great offense, you can win 2010 01:30:45.920 --> 01:30:46.880 with a decent offense. 2011 01:30:47.079 --> 01:30:48.159 You can, We've seen it. 2012 01:30:48.760 --> 01:30:50.760 But you can be a great offense if your pitching 2013 01:30:50.800 --> 01:30:53.359 staff cannot hold up. They're banged up, and they are, 2014 01:30:53.640 --> 01:30:56.560 they're not their average with this pitching staff is not average. 2015 01:30:56.560 --> 01:30:58.520 But if they are, you'll end up wearing starting pitching, 2016 01:30:58.640 --> 01:31:00.479 end up wearing not the bullpen, and then you're not 2017 01:31:00.520 --> 01:31:03.960 scoring enough. Fronts give me pitching all the time before hitting. 2018 01:31:04.039 --> 01:31:06.079 Yet you give me both, and it's a nice bonus. 2019 01:31:06.119 --> 01:31:08.880 But yes, if you if you can only make one decision, 2020 01:31:09.279 --> 01:31:11.319 I would imagine you're trying to bolster it with a 2021 01:31:11.359 --> 01:31:13.399 stud to add to the two at the front of 2022 01:31:13.439 --> 01:31:17.199 the rotation already and keep that bullpen fresh. 2023 01:31:17.520 --> 01:31:18.399 A question about it. 2024 01:31:18.479 --> 01:31:21.079 Seven one three, two one two five seven ninety is 2025 01:31:21.119 --> 01:31:23.600 the number to get in. We can continue the Astros 2026 01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:28.000 trade deadline discussion as well as get into a couple 2027 01:31:28.039 --> 01:31:31.159 of other things major League Baseball related, like Sean, you 2028 01:31:31.239 --> 01:31:35.600 mentioned a rod yesterday We didn't even mention another way 2029 01:31:35.760 --> 01:31:38.319 that he overloaded his mouth with his ass a couple 2030 01:31:38.319 --> 01:31:40.439 of days ago here in Atlanta at the All Star Game. 2031 01:31:40.680 --> 01:31:42.119 We'll have that for you next right here. 2032 01:31:42.119 --> 01:31:45.000 It is a Sean Salisbury show on a Thursday Sports 2033 01:31:45.039 --> 01:31:45.960 Talk seven ninety. 2034 01:31:46.159 --> 01:31:49.920 All right, guys, let's discuss doctor Jeff Witz at Envision.

Maybe I'm just 2074 01:33:39.279 --> 01:33:42.720 swinging for the fences, but uh, I know we've talked 2075 01:33:42.720 --> 01:33:45.159 about it before. Why not? Why aren't we going for 2076 01:33:45.279 --> 01:33:45.840 Mike Trout? 2077 01:33:46.119 --> 01:33:48.319 Well, Ray, I can tell you what he makes, thirty 2078 01:33:48.319 --> 01:33:50.159 five and a half million dollars in that I think 2079 01:33:50.199 --> 01:33:53.119 would take you over what you wouldn't that take him 2080 01:33:53.119 --> 01:33:54.840 into a luxury situation? 2081 01:33:55.399 --> 01:33:55.920 Uh? Dan? 2082 01:33:56.279 --> 01:33:59.479 I think so? And what you're gonna have to give 2083 01:33:59.560 --> 01:34:02.680 up to get it? Your giveth and you taketh away. 2084 01:34:03.640 --> 01:34:06.439 I love, I love where your head is, but imagine 2085 01:34:06.439 --> 01:34:08.079 the whole what you'd have to give up. And they're 2086 01:34:08.119 --> 01:34:10.600 not paying thirty five million dollars a year to Mike Trout. 2087 01:34:11.640 --> 01:34:12.640 They're just not well. 2088 01:34:12.760 --> 01:34:15.399 I mean, we could rent him for a year and 2089 01:34:15.439 --> 01:34:18.720 then I mean, we want to win at least one 2090 01:34:18.800 --> 01:34:20.079 more before the ride is over. 2091 01:34:22.399 --> 01:34:23.680 What are you willing to give? Okay, what are you 2092 01:34:23.720 --> 01:34:25.159 going to give up for him? Tell me what you're 2093 01:34:25.199 --> 01:34:27.680 gonna trade for him? Put a package together for me 2094 01:34:27.720 --> 01:34:29.840 for Trout so we can get an idea, not just 2095 01:34:29.880 --> 01:34:31.680 the thirty five million they're gonna have to take on 2096 01:34:31.960 --> 01:34:34.479 and they'll lose some of it obviously when they get riticized. 2097 01:34:34.520 --> 01:34:36.560 But what are you willing to trade for Mike Trout 2098 01:34:36.560 --> 01:34:37.600 on this team. 2099 01:34:38.319 --> 01:34:40.239 You're not. Y'all are not going to like this. But 2100 01:34:40.319 --> 01:34:43.119 I think Alvarez because he ain't playing, I don't know, 2101 01:34:43.159 --> 01:34:47.479 we don't even know when he's coming back, that would 2102 01:34:47.520 --> 01:34:49.399 be my start. I would have to really think about 2103 01:34:49.439 --> 01:34:52.439 what I would be willing to give up. But I mean, 2104 01:34:52.960 --> 01:34:54.439 can get mad, all right. 2105 01:34:54.880 --> 01:34:56.920 We're not mad at all. You asked, We're just giving 2106 01:34:56.960 --> 01:34:59.199 you a car. Adobe Dobe sins. We're not mad at all. 2107 01:34:59.279 --> 01:35:01.520 I mean, I I love Mike Trout, it'd be great 2108 01:35:01.520 --> 01:35:04.720 to have him, but just on the realistic side. Now, 2109 01:35:05.079 --> 01:35:07.680 do we know how how old's Trout early thirties, thirty two, 2110 01:35:07.800 --> 01:35:10.720 thirty three, three thirty three, he's thirty three years old. 2111 01:35:11.359 --> 01:35:13.600 That's about an eight year difference or seven year difference. 2112 01:35:14.479 --> 01:35:17.880 It's it's triple the money Jordon's making. I'm talking about 2113 01:35:17.920 --> 01:35:19.680 over the course, what's he making four hundred and fifty 2114 01:35:19.720 --> 01:35:22.279 million Trout so thirty five or thirty six year I 2115 01:35:22.319 --> 01:35:23.159 think it's thirty. 2116 01:35:22.880 --> 01:35:25.520 Five and a half right now for twenty twenty five. 2117 01:35:26.039 --> 01:35:28.560 And so you're giving it and then you got you 2118 01:35:28.840 --> 01:35:31.199 got Jordan under contract, and you and then you want 2119 01:35:31.199 --> 01:35:33.840 to rent Mike Trout and give a I get I 2120 01:35:33.840 --> 01:35:37.319 love Trout the player, but yeah, Jordon for Trout. I 2121 01:35:37.399 --> 01:35:42.039 think the Angels would probably listen. Trout's had injury history. Obviously, 2122 01:35:42.479 --> 01:35:45.800 Trout has never won a playoff game. Now on the Astros, 2123 01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:47.840 he probably would because I mean he's played in a 2124 01:35:47.840 --> 01:35:49.680 couple but never won one. He and O Tawni together 2125 01:35:49.720 --> 01:35:52.079 didn't see you better have pitching, and they have it here. 2126 01:35:52.239 --> 01:35:54.319 I like where your head is. I just don't think 2127 01:35:54.359 --> 01:35:56.079 it's feasible to pull it off, and I sure as 2128 01:35:56.119 --> 01:35:58.920 hell don't think injury or not that they believe because 2129 01:35:58.920 --> 01:36:01.079 you're You're getting rid of a who's been banged up 2130 01:36:01.319 --> 01:36:03.239 for a guy who I love and is a Hall 2131 01:36:03.279 --> 01:36:06.720 of Famer who's always banged up. I love the idea, 2132 01:36:07.239 --> 01:36:09.000 but I can't give up yord On for Trout. And 2133 01:36:09.039 --> 01:36:11.880 I think Trout's the best all around player we've seen, 2134 01:36:12.119 --> 01:36:15.760 not named Otani. The last what dozen years, He's been 2135 01:36:15.760 --> 01:36:18.000 the MVP like seventy four times and finished in the 2136 01:36:18.000 --> 01:36:21.399 top five the other twenty seven times. So I like it, 2137 01:36:21.760 --> 01:36:24.359 but age wise and money wise, I can't do it, 2138 01:36:24.399 --> 01:36:27.439 and I don't trust that Trout would be healthy the 2139 01:36:27.479 --> 01:36:30.640 next seventy games. I couldn't do it, but I like 2140 01:36:30.680 --> 01:36:34.199 your I like the idea, but I just think realistically 2141 01:36:34.239 --> 01:36:35.880 we can't. But man, I'm with you. If you could 2142 01:36:35.880 --> 01:36:38.119 get Trout and not give up Yard on, the problem 2143 01:36:38.199 --> 01:36:38.880 is what would you have. 2144 01:36:38.840 --> 01:36:40.079 To give up to get him? And are you willing 2145 01:36:40.119 --> 01:36:41.439 to pay for that? And I don't think they are. 2146 01:36:42.760 --> 01:36:44.560 Okay, fair enough, you guys, have a great weekend. 2147 01:36:44.640 --> 01:36:45.720 Good point, Ray, Thank you? 2148 01:36:45.880 --> 01:36:48.520 All right to you, Ray, Yeah, I mean your point 2149 01:36:48.520 --> 01:36:50.640 about Trout not being able to stay healthy. 2150 01:36:51.000 --> 01:36:51.279 Sean. 2151 01:36:51.359 --> 01:36:54.960 He's played over half a season once in the last 2152 01:36:54.960 --> 01:36:57.319 three years, and that was by one game. He played 2153 01:36:57.319 --> 01:37:00.199 eighty two games in twenty twenty three, twenty nine, just 2154 01:37:00.319 --> 01:37:02.720 last year, in seventy this year. No guy I've ever 2155 01:37:02.760 --> 01:37:05.079 met even missed of this year. Yeah, no guy. When 2156 01:37:05.079 --> 01:37:08.680 I say met, no guy I've ever watched, I mean, 2157 01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:11.279 may we have. But I'm talking about that can garner 2158 01:37:11.359 --> 01:37:14.359 more MVP votes when he misses like fifty games a year. 2159 01:37:14.760 --> 01:37:16.760 The guy will play and the numbers I'm talking about, 2160 01:37:16.760 --> 01:37:18.880 the guy will play like one hundred and thirty games 2161 01:37:19.119 --> 01:37:21.039 and he'll finish like in the top three in the 2162 01:37:21.159 --> 01:37:24.840 MVP Award. When he's playing and on the field, the 2163 01:37:24.960 --> 01:37:29.600 numbers he just gathers and puts up are sick. But 2164 01:37:30.199 --> 01:37:31.960 the fact of the matter is, if we're complaining about 2165 01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:35.800 Jordan's health, there's no other superstar in baseball right now 2166 01:37:36.640 --> 01:37:39.159 that's hurt more than Trout. And it bothers me to 2167 01:37:39.159 --> 01:37:41.039 say it, because I am a huge Mike Trout fan. 2168 01:37:41.479 --> 01:37:43.199 It's just not a deal. I can't and I don't 2169 01:37:43.239 --> 01:37:46.239 know how many more healthy years you're gonna get from 2170 01:37:46.319 --> 01:37:46.880 Mike Trout. 2171 01:37:47.159 --> 01:37:50.159 Usually the older you get the less the less you 2172 01:37:50.199 --> 01:37:53.000 stay healthy, and Mike hasn't been able to stay healthy 2173 01:37:53.119 --> 01:37:57.159 when he's young, so and yet he is a great play. Hell, 2174 01:37:57.159 --> 01:37:58.640 if you have Trout for one hundred and thirty games, 2175 01:37:58.680 --> 01:38:00.720 it's like having another cat for a hundred and sixty. 2176 01:38:01.119 --> 01:38:04.199 But the problem is is if you're getting him here 2177 01:38:04.199 --> 01:38:05.600 and all of a sudden you trade that he comes 2178 01:38:05.640 --> 01:38:08.039 in in ten games in he's got a hammy out 2179 01:38:08.039 --> 01:38:10.079 for fifteen and then all of a sudden, the shoulder 2180 01:38:10.159 --> 01:38:13.680 or a thumb or a quad You're like, well, wait 2181 01:38:13.720 --> 01:38:16.600 a second, I think the risk is too big for 2182 01:38:16.680 --> 01:38:19.800 the reward. Especially on the left hand side of the plate. 2183 01:38:20.199 --> 01:38:24.640 Jordon appears that he's at least gonna get healthy. We hope. 2184 01:38:24.279 --> 01:38:28.439 I know where Ray's head is. But the reality of it, 2185 01:38:28.680 --> 01:38:30.279 I don't think you can do it, and I'm not 2186 01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:33.600 sure the Angels, even with Jordan, would do it. But 2187 01:38:33.720 --> 01:38:35.680 at some point in time, I'd love to see Mike 2188 01:38:35.760 --> 01:38:38.520 Trout play somewhere where we could see him for a 2189 01:38:38.520 --> 01:38:42.159 full postseason and go. I'm not sure that'll ever happen 2190 01:38:42.319 --> 01:38:45.159 with the Angels or maybe somewhere else, but you're going 2191 01:38:45.239 --> 01:38:47.039 to have to give up quite a bit to get him, 2192 01:38:47.079 --> 01:38:49.079 and your sure's gonna have to pay a lot, and 2193 01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:51.680 I'm not willing to trade the injury for the injury 2194 01:38:52.239 --> 01:38:57.479 and then take me over the luxury situation tax with them. 2195 01:38:57.840 --> 01:39:01.399 So I don't think that's an eye option. Although having 2196 01:39:01.399 --> 01:39:03.960 Mike Trout in an Astro's uniform would look really, really nice, 2197 01:39:04.319 --> 01:39:06.359 I don't know. I don't believe that's ever gonna happen. 2198 01:39:07.119 --> 01:39:08.920 Yeah, I mean it would. It would be cool. 2199 01:39:09.000 --> 01:39:11.760 You'd sell some tickets and sell some jerseys. But I 2200 01:39:11.760 --> 01:39:14.079 mean it's not for a lack of trying either from 2201 01:39:14.119 --> 01:39:16.960 the Angels either, Sean. I mean they've tried to put 2202 01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:18.920 them in right field. They tried to d h him. 2203 01:39:19.159 --> 01:39:21.439 They tried to take them out of center field for 2204 01:39:21.479 --> 01:39:24.279 those very reasons, because well, they felt like centerfield was 2205 01:39:24.319 --> 01:39:28.560 taxing them too much healthwise. So it's even with those 2206 01:39:28.680 --> 01:39:31.760 moves that they've made, he's still not been as to show. 2207 01:39:31.600 --> 01:39:35.560 That you could you could pinch hit him, and at 2208 01:39:35.560 --> 01:39:39.000 some point Mike Trout's gonna get hurt. And I hate 2209 01:39:39.000 --> 01:39:41.520 it because I am a huge fan, But on the 2210 01:39:41.520 --> 01:39:44.520 realistic business side, it would not be a good business move. 2211 01:39:44.560 --> 01:39:46.760 And when we say, man, they didn't now Trout here 2212 01:39:46.760 --> 01:39:48.359 with better players as one thing, but when you think 2213 01:39:48.359 --> 01:39:51.079 about we had the two best players in baseball one 2214 01:39:51.159 --> 01:39:52.439 and two, no matter how you looked at it, with 2215 01:39:52.479 --> 01:39:55.000 Otani and Trout for a hand for what three four 2216 01:39:55.079 --> 01:39:57.439 years whatever it was. However many years they were together 2217 01:39:57.439 --> 01:40:00.359 at the Angels, they did not play in one playoff game. 2218 01:40:00.720 --> 01:40:05.399 If that's not the greatest example of pitching needed, then 2219 01:40:05.399 --> 01:40:09.039 there isn't one raise on point with Trout and his ability. 2220 01:40:09.319 --> 01:40:12.680 And I get his the temptation, but those two were 2221 01:40:12.720 --> 01:40:15.680 on the same team and the two best players in 2222 01:40:15.720 --> 01:40:19.439 baseball at the time they were together, and not only 2223 01:40:19.479 --> 01:40:21.840 couldn't you keep them both healthy all the time, but 2224 01:40:22.039 --> 01:40:23.800 they didn't win a playoff game. They didn't play in 2225 01:40:23.800 --> 01:40:28.840 a playoff game. Now you do that math, Yeah, hard 2226 01:40:28.640 --> 01:40:31.159 hard to do and hard to validate. So if you said, 2227 01:40:31.159 --> 01:40:34.279 give me a great pitcher or Mike Trout at this stage, 2228 01:40:34.399 --> 01:40:37.159 give me the pitcher. And I never thought i'd say that, 2229 01:40:37.199 --> 01:40:40.359 as good as Trout is, but it's if you just 2230 01:40:40.399 --> 01:40:41.720 can't now if all of a sudden they wanted to 2231 01:40:41.720 --> 01:40:44.960 give Trout away for a prospect and a and a 2232 01:40:44.960 --> 01:40:47.479 a player that's good but not jord On, and you 2233 01:40:47.479 --> 01:40:49.600 could find a way to manipulate it and work it 2234 01:40:49.640 --> 01:40:52.880 around the tower, willing to go into that and pay 2235 01:40:52.920 --> 01:40:55.520 the extra, which they've proven that they don't like to 2236 01:40:55.560 --> 01:40:58.640 do here, then then okay, I'd consider it. Hell who 2237 01:40:58.720 --> 01:41:01.319 doesn't want Trout, But it's got to be it's got 2238 01:41:01.359 --> 01:41:02.920 to be favorable to me too, And right now, a 2239 01:41:02.960 --> 01:41:05.960 Jordon for Trout, straight up, I think we'd be losing 2240 01:41:06.000 --> 01:41:08.520 the trade because at this stage of the game, I'm 2241 01:41:08.560 --> 01:41:10.880 not sure Jordon's not as good a hitter, if not 2242 01:41:10.960 --> 01:41:13.840 better than Trout is. When they're both healthy, they're the equal. 2243 01:41:14.000 --> 01:41:16.600 They're both top ten players in a league at the plate. 2244 01:41:17.239 --> 01:41:19.720 But the question is that's a big if and rarely 2245 01:41:19.720 --> 01:41:21.159 are you going to have either one of them healthy 2246 01:41:21.159 --> 01:41:22.359 for one hundred and sixty games. 2247 01:41:23.079 --> 01:41:23.279 Yeah. 2248 01:41:23.279 --> 01:41:25.800 And plus if you're the Angels, I mean, why wouldn't 2249 01:41:25.840 --> 01:41:28.439 you try to do the Mookie Bets trade? Like, why 2250 01:41:28.439 --> 01:41:30.920 wouldn't you try to get that type of return? 2251 01:41:31.000 --> 01:41:31.199 Hell? 2252 01:41:31.479 --> 01:41:34.079 I mean what the Nationals got back for Soto when 2253 01:41:34.119 --> 01:41:36.439 they shipped them out the San Diego I mean that's 2254 01:41:36.439 --> 01:41:37.560 worked out incredibly well. 2255 01:41:37.600 --> 01:41:39.720 CJ. Abrams, a guy that's been really good for them. 2256 01:41:39.840 --> 01:41:43.399 So that's I mean, if you're taking calls, if you're 2257 01:41:43.399 --> 01:41:46.720 the Angels, that's the type of package that I'm looking 2258 01:41:46.720 --> 01:41:50.119 for in return, because I'm saying, hey, I understand the health. 2259 01:41:50.199 --> 01:41:52.399 Don't talk to me about the health. You're getting the 2260 01:41:52.439 --> 01:41:54.720 player that's the type of guy, you're sure. And if 2261 01:41:54.720 --> 01:41:58.640 you're the Angels, you're saying, all right, maybe we're taking it, 2262 01:41:58.800 --> 01:42:01.439 you know, on the front end here, but you want 2263 01:42:01.439 --> 01:42:03.159 to be able to have guys that on the back 2264 01:42:03.239 --> 01:42:07.039 end three four, hell five and your players that can 2265 01:42:07.079 --> 01:42:09.439 be able to you know, be able to show your 2266 01:42:09.439 --> 01:42:11.079 fan base, oh yeah, we made the right move. 2267 01:42:11.159 --> 01:42:14.800 And you're also, I would think would want to deal 2268 01:42:14.840 --> 01:42:18.319 with somebody who is already past that the tax right 2269 01:42:18.800 --> 01:42:21.119 or is willing to go in there. Hell, I could 2270 01:42:21.119 --> 01:42:23.600 see a team like Philadelphia trying to get Trout there. 2271 01:42:24.079 --> 01:42:26.600 They can afford it. The I mean they can, I 2272 01:42:26.840 --> 01:42:28.279 could see. I don't know if they're going I'm just 2273 01:42:28.319 --> 01:42:30.079 using them an example. I mean, that's is any of 2274 01:42:30.119 --> 01:42:32.840 Philadelphia Philly, I mean Philadelphia Eagle season ticket holder. I 2275 01:42:32.880 --> 01:42:35.119 mean I could see it. Hell, the guys right up 2276 01:42:35.119 --> 01:42:37.920 the don't kid yourself. If they thought they could pull 2277 01:42:37.960 --> 01:42:39.920 it off and it worked for them, you don't think 2278 01:42:39.960 --> 01:42:42.560 the guys right up the Interstate, up up up Highway 2279 01:42:42.600 --> 01:42:45.359 five would be interesting? I mean, can you imagine that 2280 01:42:45.600 --> 01:42:47.479 and leave it to them to try to try and 2281 01:42:47.520 --> 01:42:48.720 pull it off like the Dodgers. 2282 01:42:48.720 --> 01:42:49.439 Well you know what I mean. 2283 01:42:49.680 --> 01:42:50.960 I don't know if what's going to happen to this 2284 01:42:50.960 --> 01:42:52.760 trade deadline, but you could see them saying, well, wait 2285 01:42:52.760 --> 01:42:55.319 a second, now, they may maybe we'll throw this guy 2286 01:42:55.319 --> 01:42:59.039 into the mix too, So it's not gonna happen. I 2287 01:42:59.039 --> 01:43:01.520 don't think then, no, he's going anywhere. But they if 2288 01:43:01.520 --> 01:43:03.279 you're the Angels, you would still have to ask for 2289 01:43:03.319 --> 01:43:05.640 a haul because when Trout is on the diamond, he 2290 01:43:05.760 --> 01:43:08.439 is still a major threat. I just don't think teams 2291 01:43:08.479 --> 01:43:11.439 that aren't willing to think about all the players we've 2292 01:43:11.520 --> 01:43:13.760 let go here because you didn't want to enter into 2293 01:43:13.800 --> 01:43:17.239 a to that you know, that rarefied era of money. 2294 01:43:18.159 --> 01:43:21.239 I think the Astros wall it sounds good, it's unrealistic, 2295 01:43:21.239 --> 01:43:23.079 and I'm sure I'm not parting with yord On yet. 2296 01:43:23.119 --> 01:43:23.640 I just can't. 2297 01:43:23.680 --> 01:43:25.279 Even though now, if you told me he is out 2298 01:43:25.279 --> 01:43:27.199 for the season and Sean it's going to be you're 2299 01:43:27.239 --> 01:43:28.760 getting one hundred and thirty or one hundred and twenty 2300 01:43:28.760 --> 01:43:30.399 games out of every year for the next five years, 2301 01:43:30.600 --> 01:43:32.479 at some point time you would have to consider it. 2302 01:43:32.720 --> 01:43:33.359 So who is he? 2303 01:43:33.439 --> 01:43:35.359 Is he the healthy Yordon or are we going to 2304 01:43:35.399 --> 01:43:38.399 be facing a Mike Trout Anthony Davis type of thing 2305 01:43:38.399 --> 01:43:40.960 where every year there's time. I'm not putting him in 2306 01:43:41.000 --> 01:43:44.000 that category yet. I don't think we should. And when 2307 01:43:44.000 --> 01:43:46.600 the guy's out there, he is dedominant. I don't think 2308 01:43:46.640 --> 01:43:49.600 I'm ready to part with Yordon really for anybody just yet. 2309 01:43:49.880 --> 01:43:51.720 I'm really not well. 2310 01:43:51.760 --> 01:43:54.880 I mean, Reggie Jackson said they don't boo nobody's I 2311 01:43:54.880 --> 01:43:57.319 would go ahead and use kind of that same logic 2312 01:43:57.399 --> 01:44:00.840 with they don't intentionally walk nobody's and Jordon's one of 2313 01:44:00.880 --> 01:44:03.319 those guys that he gets that respect. I mean, hell, 2314 01:44:03.720 --> 01:44:05.960 we even saw it earlier this year Sean, where he's 2315 01:44:05.960 --> 01:44:09.479 going through his struggles, and I forget there was even 2316 01:44:09.479 --> 01:44:10.560 a load up the bases. 2317 01:44:12.000 --> 01:44:13.359 I think they were playing Cleveland. 2318 01:44:13.359 --> 01:44:15.760 I can't remember who they were playing, but they walk 2319 01:44:15.880 --> 01:44:18.640 Jordan and you're kind of like, right, I won for 2320 01:44:18.720 --> 01:44:20.119 his last like twenty one right. 2321 01:44:20.479 --> 01:44:23.600 Put it this way, the baseball world, knowing the resilience 2322 01:44:23.640 --> 01:44:25.760 and grit of the Astros and the way they can 2323 01:44:25.800 --> 01:44:29.119 pitch in front eye their bullpen, they want they do 2324 01:44:29.159 --> 01:44:31.359 not want Jordan to get healthy. Oh for the guy 2325 01:44:31.399 --> 01:44:33.239 to be healthy. You don't root for anybody's injury. But 2326 01:44:33.279 --> 01:44:35.680 while he's there, they just assume he stays on the 2327 01:44:35.720 --> 01:44:38.039 shelf for two more months, for another six d They 2328 01:44:38.039 --> 01:44:39.359 don't want any part of it, because if he comes 2329 01:44:39.399 --> 01:44:43.000 back and he's healthy and good, the Astros are going 2330 01:44:43.039 --> 01:44:45.439 to win this division and they're going to especially if 2331 01:44:45.439 --> 01:44:48.000 they're pitching, gets healthy and stay as healthy as they are, 2332 01:44:48.159 --> 01:44:49.680 they're going to win the division and they're going to 2333 01:44:49.720 --> 01:44:51.880 win the division. With a punch to your face, the 2334 01:44:52.000 --> 01:44:55.239 question is, so, if you're an especially an American league, team. 2335 01:44:55.399 --> 01:44:58.000 The last thing you want is the big fellow healthy. 2336 01:44:58.279 --> 01:45:01.920 So you're begging for it, and the Astros are are. 2337 01:45:02.000 --> 01:45:04.039 I'm sure counting on the fact that at some point 2338 01:45:04.039 --> 01:45:06.039 in time this year he's going to be hitting into 2339 01:45:06.079 --> 01:45:08.760 three hole and driving in runs. That remains to be 2340 01:45:08.840 --> 01:45:09.920 seen as to win. 2341 01:45:11.279 --> 01:45:13.760 For sure, and also as to win. 2342 01:45:13.880 --> 01:45:16.000 We know when the Texans are going to start training camp, 2343 01:45:16.000 --> 01:45:19.239 that's going to be next Wednesday, and one of the 2344 01:45:19.279 --> 01:45:24.239 Texans offensive linemen making a bold proclamation about how this 2345 01:45:24.279 --> 01:45:26.000 twenty twenty five season is going to go. 2346 01:45:26.439 --> 01:45:28.239 What you hear from them next right here? 2347 01:45:28.239 --> 01:45:30.800 As we continue on the Seawan Salisbury Show on a 2348 01:45:30.840 --> 01:45:34.399 Thursday Sports Talk seven to ninety, the seven ninety listener 2349 01:45:34.439 --> 01:45:37.319 line in the eight o'clock hour is presented by one 2350 01:45:37.399 --> 01:45:41.239 eight hundred car Cash. The Astros just drafted a guy 2351 01:45:41.560 --> 01:45:44.880 from LSU and also I want to talk a little 2352 01:45:44.880 --> 01:45:49.239 college football, and you know LSU and a like with scone. 2353 01:45:48.880 --> 01:45:51.279 So great to have him on for you. Do you 2354 01:45:51.399 --> 01:45:53.960 what I said, It'll be great to have him on. Yeah, 2355 01:45:54.000 --> 01:45:56.079 I go on his show every week during the fall. Yes, 2356 01:45:56.119 --> 01:45:57.960 he's great and very good at his job and it 2357 01:45:58.000 --> 01:45:59.439 always great to talk to him. 2358 01:46:00.239 --> 01:46:02.920 Absolutely so look forward to catching up with him. But 2359 01:46:03.600 --> 01:46:06.520 the Astros and Mariner is gonna get to work tomorrow 2360 01:46:06.680 --> 01:46:09.960 night to start the baseball season back up. But as 2361 01:46:09.960 --> 01:46:13.800 I mentioned this time next week, Sean, we are going 2362 01:46:14.000 --> 01:46:16.600 to have the Texans on the practice field for the 2363 01:46:16.640 --> 01:46:19.560 start of training camp, and of course a lot of 2364 01:46:19.600 --> 01:46:22.039 eye is gonna be on the offensive line. Who's gonna 2365 01:46:22.039 --> 01:46:25.880 be your starting up five there upfront this year? This offseason, 2366 01:46:25.920 --> 01:46:28.760 Laramie Tunzel goes out the door, same with Shaq Mason. 2367 01:46:29.199 --> 01:46:31.800 A lot of moves made in order to try to 2368 01:46:32.119 --> 01:46:34.720 make up for some of those losses, either through free 2369 01:46:34.720 --> 01:46:38.359 agency or the draft. But Jake Andrews is a guy 2370 01:46:38.399 --> 01:46:41.439 that's fighting for one of those spots. And yesterday he 2371 01:46:41.479 --> 01:46:44.920 caught up with Mark Vandermere with the Texans in house 2372 01:46:45.000 --> 01:46:49.560 media over there at NRG Stadium, and I said a 2373 01:46:49.680 --> 01:46:54.119 huge proclamation made by him. Listen to what Jake Andrews 2374 01:46:54.119 --> 01:46:57.359 says you can expect from the Texans in twenty twenty five. 2375 01:46:58.159 --> 01:47:00.159 The ball is gonna be run, I'll tell you that much. 2376 01:47:00.159 --> 01:47:03.279 We're gonna run the football Dayli's doing a good job 2377 01:47:03.359 --> 01:47:07.239 with putting all that stuff together. We're gonna protect CJ 2378 01:47:07.319 --> 01:47:11.079 Or whoever's back there, try to make us five up 2379 01:47:11.079 --> 01:47:12.640 from We're gonna try to make it our life's work 2380 01:47:12.680 --> 01:47:15.279 to not have anybody in his lap. We're touching him 2381 01:47:15.279 --> 01:47:18.680 at all. Yeah, we're gonna pound the rock and we're 2382 01:47:18.680 --> 01:47:20.279 gonna air it out. We're gonna keep people on their 2383 01:47:20.279 --> 01:47:23.760 toes and uh, we're gonna play tough, physical football, and 2384 01:47:23.840 --> 01:47:26.359 people are gonna know when they wake up on Monday 2385 01:47:26.399 --> 01:47:28.720 morning that they just got done playing in the Houston Texans. 2386 01:47:30.760 --> 01:47:33.920 As a Texans fan, sean, that will absolutely fire you 2387 01:47:34.000 --> 01:47:37.199 up because that is anything but what they were in 2388 01:47:37.239 --> 01:47:38.079 twenty twenty four. 2389 01:47:39.119 --> 01:47:41.960 Uh yeah, well it's anything they've been in a minute 2390 01:47:42.000 --> 01:47:44.720 when it's talking about dominate the line of scrimmage and 2391 01:47:44.800 --> 01:47:46.479 when you come out of a game, and you'll come 2392 01:47:46.479 --> 01:47:48.000 he he played the Texas. You know you've played them, 2393 01:47:48.039 --> 01:47:50.960 but even more so now that my favorite parts, the 2394 01:47:51.039 --> 01:47:53.920 last part, because the first party really means He told 2395 01:47:53.920 --> 01:47:56.319 me that they were gonna run the ball, They're gonna 2396 01:47:56.319 --> 01:47:59.239 be physical, protect the quarterback and throw it all over 2397 01:47:59.279 --> 01:48:01.960 the lot. Well, of course that's the object. I would 2398 01:48:01.960 --> 01:48:03.520 imagine that you are going to throw it, you are 2399 01:48:03.520 --> 01:48:05.279 going to run it, and you got two stud runners 2400 01:48:05.640 --> 01:48:08.920 the last part, and he's right, keep your quarterback up 2401 01:48:09.039 --> 01:48:11.840 right and make sure when they wake up on Monday 2402 01:48:11.840 --> 01:48:15.199 morning that they need a plunge pool because they've been 2403 01:48:15.239 --> 01:48:17.800 they've had their ass handed to them physically, they're going 2404 01:48:17.880 --> 01:48:21.199 to be able to finesse enough. A quarterback, hopefully the 2405 01:48:21.199 --> 01:48:23.520 coordinator put him in a position, won't play scared, will 2406 01:48:23.560 --> 01:48:25.319 attack and be aggressive. 2407 01:48:26.119 --> 01:48:28.119 But also you've got to have the ability. 2408 01:48:27.720 --> 01:48:30.439 When it's seventeen to fourteen and you've got the ball 2409 01:48:30.479 --> 01:48:33.239 with seven minutes to go to end the game, and 2410 01:48:33.279 --> 01:48:35.039 a lot of times that's not by throwing it twelve 2411 01:48:35.119 --> 01:48:37.079 times on the final drive. That's why you're up by 2412 01:48:37.119 --> 01:48:40.479 three to hand it, to mix it and Chubb and 2413 01:48:40.520 --> 01:48:42.880 not just hand it to him, but move real estate 2414 01:48:43.000 --> 01:48:45.560 play on their side of the line of scrimmage. So yeah, 2415 01:48:45.600 --> 01:48:48.159 it's a novel concept and I like his style. Now, 2416 01:48:48.239 --> 01:48:50.920 now go do it. Protect the quarterback so he doesn't 2417 01:48:50.960 --> 01:48:53.039 have to the ball doesn't come out prematurely, and so 2418 01:48:53.119 --> 01:48:55.439 his head's not on a swivel where he trusts that 2419 01:48:55.479 --> 01:48:58.399 he can set his feet and deliver the ball. And 2420 01:48:58.520 --> 01:49:00.720 two is turn around and hand and then mix in 2421 01:49:00.720 --> 01:49:02.960 play action. Those things I'm not worried about CJ. Straud's 2422 01:49:02.960 --> 01:49:04.560 ability to rip it, and I'm not worried about their 2423 01:49:04.600 --> 01:49:07.039 ability to want to run it. But the two things 2424 01:49:07.079 --> 01:49:09.039 you went out got shubbed because you want depth there 2425 01:49:09.079 --> 01:49:11.199 and you know you're physical, but you got to be 2426 01:49:11.199 --> 01:49:13.039 physical at the point of attack, not just those two 2427 01:49:13.119 --> 01:49:15.920 cats in the backfield. So I like the style, but 2428 01:49:16.000 --> 01:49:18.000 I love if you can come out of every game 2429 01:49:18.039 --> 01:49:20.680 and everybody's battered and bruised on the other team, You're 2430 01:49:20.720 --> 01:49:22.800 gonna win far more than you're gonna lose because the 2431 01:49:22.840 --> 01:49:25.800 quarterback throws and stuff will take care of themselves. It's 2432 01:49:25.840 --> 01:49:28.399 the physicality that will get you either where you want 2433 01:49:28.399 --> 01:49:30.960 to go or the lack thereof that will get you eliminated. 2434 01:49:31.039 --> 01:49:34.640 So yes, and it should start there. Hence why this 2435 01:49:34.720 --> 01:49:38.680 team needs to match the defensive physicality with their offensive front. 2436 01:49:39.359 --> 01:49:41.720 They'll make enough play stole on the ball. I'd love 2437 01:49:41.720 --> 01:49:42.920 to have us come out of the week and say, 2438 01:49:42.960 --> 01:49:45.960 you know what, most of the time they may have 2439 01:49:46.000 --> 01:49:47.800 got beat this week, and they will get beat a 2440 01:49:47.800 --> 01:49:50.840 handful of times, but you'd like to know that when 2441 01:49:50.880 --> 01:49:54.640 you in winning, it's like that old win in Rocky. No, 2442 01:49:54.680 --> 01:49:57.560 Rema don't want no rematch basically where you you don't 2443 01:49:57.600 --> 01:50:00.760 want to you don't want to go through that fight again. 2444 01:50:01.279 --> 01:50:03.880 You just assumed somebody pillow fight you. And the last 2445 01:50:03.920 --> 01:50:07.039 year they were a pillow fighter. They just were this team. 2446 01:50:07.159 --> 01:50:09.439 They gave you an NBA fight. Well, I'll slap a 2447 01:50:09.439 --> 01:50:11.760 little bit and move around, stand behind a guy, hit 2448 01:50:11.800 --> 01:50:13.880 and run. You know, when you hit the guy and 2449 01:50:13.920 --> 01:50:16.239 move around. That type of pillow fight and when they 2450 01:50:16.239 --> 01:50:18.239 don't belong in a fistfight because they don't know how 2451 01:50:19.000 --> 01:50:21.119 NFL players got a pretty good idea. Give me some 2452 01:50:21.199 --> 01:50:24.119 hockey stuff and I'll take that. And if that's who 2453 01:50:24.119 --> 01:50:27.159 they're if their identity coming out of this is defense 2454 01:50:27.800 --> 01:50:31.840 and physical domination on the offensive line, the face of 2455 01:50:31.880 --> 01:50:33.239 the franchise can be CJ. 2456 01:50:33.359 --> 01:50:35.439 Stroud because I know he can throw it. 2457 01:50:36.000 --> 01:50:37.800 I'm not sure yet if they can dominate the line 2458 01:50:37.800 --> 01:50:40.800 of scrimmage on defense on offense, We'll go find out. 2459 01:50:41.079 --> 01:50:43.840 But I do like that their attitude is it's either 2460 01:50:43.920 --> 01:50:46.279 that or bust and go to the ends of the earth. 2461 01:50:46.279 --> 01:50:49.039 To make sure that your quarterback is standing upright when 2462 01:50:49.079 --> 01:50:51.439 the game's over, that's the right approach. 2463 01:50:52.359 --> 01:50:55.319 Well, and also to be able to have confidence in 2464 01:50:55.399 --> 01:50:58.239 his feet to make throws down the field and even 2465 01:50:58.239 --> 01:51:00.960 be healthy. I mean, I think we get we were 2466 01:51:01.000 --> 01:51:03.680 talking about it all throughout. Ohca's in mini camp. That's 2467 01:51:04.239 --> 01:51:06.079 you gotta wonder if you was still a little banged 2468 01:51:06.159 --> 01:51:08.399 up from last season because of how many hits he 2469 01:51:08.479 --> 01:51:09.159 took last year. 2470 01:51:09.279 --> 01:51:12.079 So those are things that the sections are hoping they 2471 01:51:12.079 --> 01:51:12.640 can sure up. 2472 01:51:12.840 --> 01:51:14.840 One more quick point on this that I will make 2473 01:51:15.159 --> 01:51:17.960 on the other side, also, Dwayne wants to weigh in 2474 01:51:18.399 --> 01:51:21.119 as we continue here on the Seawan Salisbury Show on 2475 01:51:21.159 --> 01:51:23.560 a Thursday, Sports Talk seven ninety. 2476 01:51:24.279 --> 01:51:28.239 Ry, You're back. This is the Sean Salisbury Show. 2477 01:51:28.359 --> 01:51:30.960 Get back at it, Dwayne. 2478 01:51:31.000 --> 01:51:36.680 Good morning, Good morning Max, Good morning Sean. This year 2479 01:51:36.760 --> 01:51:41.319 and the MB well major League Baseball, this is the 2480 01:51:41.399 --> 01:51:47.039 buyer's year, So finding a player that you're going to 2481 01:51:47.279 --> 01:51:51.479 need on your roster is either going to cost more 2482 01:51:52.279 --> 01:51:57.439 or if if somebody wants to trade them. So right now, 2483 01:51:58.239 --> 01:52:00.680 the ED I think this is my thought. But the 2484 01:52:00.760 --> 01:52:04.319 Astros are doing pretty good. And the thing is is 2485 01:52:04.520 --> 01:52:08.439 if all eight players can play together and do like 2486 01:52:08.560 --> 01:52:12.359 they've been doing winning, I mean they're actually winning, and yeah, 2487 01:52:12.720 --> 01:52:15.159 I think they can still stay up on top of 2488 01:52:15.199 --> 01:52:20.359 the West because the Mariners and the Texas Rangers. I 2489 01:52:20.359 --> 01:52:22.600 don't know if they're gonna be able to find anybody 2490 01:52:23.319 --> 01:52:25.560 other than the you know, maybe a kid that they 2491 01:52:25.680 --> 01:52:28.000 picked from the draft. But that's all I want to 2492 01:52:28.000 --> 01:52:30.399 just say, thank you all. 2493 01:52:30.479 --> 01:52:32.399 I appreciate the cal Dwayne. I mean, look to his 2494 01:52:32.479 --> 01:52:34.640 point too, Sean. I mean, I went through some of 2495 01:52:34.640 --> 01:52:36.399 the names that might be out there that fit the 2496 01:52:36.399 --> 01:52:38.119 profile of what the Astros are looking for. 2497 01:52:38.199 --> 01:52:40.840 Position player wise, the pool is shallow. 2498 01:52:41.000 --> 01:52:44.439 There's not very many, and with the expanded playoffs and 2499 01:52:44.560 --> 01:52:47.279 more teams make it through a wild card, you've got 2500 01:52:47.319 --> 01:52:50.760 teams who right now, in other years before that being 2501 01:52:50.800 --> 01:52:53.239 the case, would have probably been selling in a couple 2502 01:52:53.239 --> 01:52:55.640 of weeks. But now they're saying, kind of like you 2503 01:52:55.680 --> 01:52:57.760 were talking about the Astros, are you a world serious 2504 01:52:57.760 --> 01:53:00.239 team or not? They're trying to just to determine are 2505 01:53:00.239 --> 01:53:02.159 we a playoff team or not? And if we're not, 2506 01:53:02.760 --> 01:53:03.920 how much do we want to sell? 2507 01:53:04.039 --> 01:53:06.920 All Right, I'll tell you a team that's got some 2508 01:53:06.960 --> 01:53:10.960 good players, that is in a brutal division and it's 2509 01:53:11.000 --> 01:53:13.279 going to take a lot. There was two years removed 2510 01:53:13.279 --> 01:53:17.119 from the World Series, Arizona. If I mean that's a 2511 01:53:17.159 --> 01:53:21.840 team look on are they Are they going to be sellers? 2512 01:53:22.600 --> 01:53:26.119 They've got some pitching. I mean now that the pitching 2513 01:53:26.159 --> 01:53:29.520 is not as dominant, but this team has some some 2514 01:53:29.560 --> 01:53:31.560 players and the question is who are they? I mean, 2515 01:53:31.800 --> 01:53:34.800 are they Baltimore Oil style? And I don't even know. 2516 01:53:34.840 --> 01:53:36.960 I haven't looked at how far out are they in 2517 01:53:36.960 --> 01:53:37.520 this division? 2518 01:53:37.600 --> 01:53:37.960 Right now? 2519 01:53:38.479 --> 01:53:42.079 The Diamondbacks and Volo is a good manager. You got 2520 01:53:42.079 --> 01:53:44.640 the standings in front of you. If not, I'll pull 2521 01:53:44.680 --> 01:53:45.039 them up. 2522 01:53:45.159 --> 01:53:45.359 I was. 2523 01:53:45.800 --> 01:53:50.600 I was letting you finish while the page refreshed. Arizona 2524 01:53:50.680 --> 01:53:54.239 currently is eleven games okay in the division. But to 2525 01:53:54.279 --> 01:53:56.399 the point I brought up five and a half games 2526 01:53:56.439 --> 01:53:58.479 out of a wild card okay, and how many teams 2527 01:53:58.520 --> 01:54:00.359 have they got to Let's see the padre in front 2528 01:54:00.359 --> 01:54:02.079 of them, Giants in front of them, Dodgers in front 2529 01:54:02.079 --> 01:54:03.800 of them, right, that's correct? 2530 01:54:03.880 --> 01:54:06.640 Okay, three teams in the division that that's gonna still be. 2531 01:54:06.880 --> 01:54:09.960 That's a task, right. Four teams from the division are 2532 01:54:09.960 --> 01:54:12.680 not making the playoffs, the division winner and three other 2533 01:54:12.800 --> 01:54:15.199 that's just I don't believe that's I don't know. Is 2534 01:54:15.199 --> 01:54:18.000 it possible that Kademy, can you have how many wildcards? 2535 01:54:18.039 --> 01:54:19.399 We have three is that correct? 2536 01:54:19.479 --> 01:54:19.800 Or two? 2537 01:54:19.920 --> 01:54:20.880 Three wildcards? 2538 01:54:20.960 --> 01:54:21.119 Right? 2539 01:54:21.159 --> 01:54:24.479 So you'd have to I mean, that's that's tough sled. 2540 01:54:24.760 --> 01:54:27.119 They've got to decide, not like the Astros, because the 2541 01:54:27.159 --> 01:54:30.239 Astros are in first place. But okay, even though we 2542 01:54:30.279 --> 01:54:32.079 may be a wildcard team, are we good enough to 2543 01:54:32.079 --> 01:54:36.439 get through it? Or are certain pitchers available on this 2544 01:54:36.479 --> 01:54:38.760 because they've got some pretty good players, and you kind 2545 01:54:38.800 --> 01:54:41.720 of wonder, is this a version of like Baltimore that's 2546 01:54:41.720 --> 01:54:45.039 got players. Baltimore was supposed to be a World Series team. 2547 01:54:45.039 --> 01:54:47.239 I mean, they've been at the top. They were, Baltimore's 2548 01:54:47.279 --> 01:54:50.560 been the fashion Toronto pick the last couple of years. 2549 01:54:50.800 --> 01:54:52.840 Before that, it's the Blue Jays Blue Jays, and they've 2550 01:54:52.880 --> 01:54:55.600 underachieved because they had pitching and they've got big hitting. 2551 01:54:55.760 --> 01:54:58.439 And then you go into the Baltimore man, they're they're 2552 01:54:58.520 --> 01:55:00.800 arriving early. They've got all these young players. But that 2553 01:55:00.920 --> 01:55:02.560 is then you get rid of Corbin Burns and you 2554 01:55:02.600 --> 01:55:05.239 start to roll and you say, okay, now now where 2555 01:55:05.239 --> 01:55:07.680 are we? Okay, we're gonna we're gonna move a few players. 2556 01:55:07.720 --> 01:55:07.880 Now. 2557 01:55:08.119 --> 01:55:11.800 Arizona two years removed from the World Series, eleven games out. Yeah, 2558 01:55:11.880 --> 01:55:13.920 wild card, but if we even give the wild card. 2559 01:55:14.000 --> 01:55:16.560 Are we legitimately a team or is now the time 2560 01:55:16.600 --> 01:55:18.600 to move one of our good players or a pitcher 2561 01:55:18.720 --> 01:55:21.479 or two and retool a little bit to get some 2562 01:55:21.520 --> 01:55:24.680 prospects financially and you know, for the future. 2563 01:55:24.680 --> 01:55:25.079 I don't know. 2564 01:55:25.119 --> 01:55:27.720 I don't even know how they're feeling, but I would 2565 01:55:27.720 --> 01:55:30.239 imagine that people have called them. So I'm just using 2566 01:55:30.239 --> 01:55:32.640 them as an example to go get what you want 2567 01:55:32.840 --> 01:55:35.039 and you may be able. They've dealt with Arizona in 2568 01:55:35.079 --> 01:55:38.560 the past, cup well Christian Walker, but also back when 2569 01:55:38.600 --> 01:55:41.600 they got Grankie and they gave up five prospects for him. 2570 01:55:41.920 --> 01:55:44.399 So maybe, just maybe I do know things changed. But 2571 01:55:44.680 --> 01:55:47.119 if that's a team that you say, okay, where are 2572 01:55:47.119 --> 01:55:49.800 they because they're the tweener right now, three teams in 2573 01:55:49.840 --> 01:55:52.279 front of you in your own division, eleven games out, 2574 01:55:52.680 --> 01:55:55.359 five or six games away from the wild card. Can 2575 01:55:55.439 --> 01:55:59.039 you sustain it? And do you expect a monster second half? Unfortunately, 2576 01:55:59.239 --> 01:56:01.720 they're not gonna gain enough ground for them to be 2577 01:56:01.720 --> 01:56:03.920 able to say, well, now we're they're not going to 2578 01:56:03.960 --> 01:56:06.039 win six in a row. I wouldn't imagine however many 2579 01:56:06.079 --> 01:56:09.079 they're playing before the or eight in a row or 2580 01:56:09.079 --> 01:56:11.079 ten in a row before the All Star break, maybe 2581 01:56:11.079 --> 01:56:13.279 they will. Maybe they'll go on a Red Sox run 2582 01:56:13.319 --> 01:56:15.640 and then not the All Star break but the trade deadline, 2583 01:56:15.720 --> 01:56:18.640 and you'll say, you know what, we're charging. The problem is, 2584 01:56:19.000 --> 01:56:22.800 you've got three really good teams, two World Series I 2585 01:56:22.840 --> 01:56:25.720 think tight teams, and a team that's favored. So that's 2586 01:56:25.760 --> 01:56:28.640 a lot to overcome. So who will Arizona be? And 2587 01:56:28.680 --> 01:56:31.640 if they are, they've got some players that may very 2588 01:56:31.640 --> 01:56:34.760 well be somebody that you could inquire about and be 2589 01:56:34.840 --> 01:56:38.199 willing to they'd be willing to move. I'm curious to 2590 01:56:38.199 --> 01:56:40.039 see who they are. And I don't even know what 2591 01:56:40.039 --> 01:56:42.520 the Baseball Riders are saying about them. But just from 2592 01:56:42.560 --> 01:56:45.640 my vantage point in watching, that's a team that over 2593 01:56:45.680 --> 01:56:47.359 the next two weeks they may have to decide. Now, 2594 01:56:47.359 --> 01:56:49.520 if they win one and lose seven in a row, 2595 01:56:50.520 --> 01:56:53.239 I can't imagine that if they're twelve, fourteen games out, 2596 01:56:53.439 --> 01:56:55.359 I can't imagine that they're not going to be listening 2597 01:56:55.359 --> 01:56:56.880 to offers for some of their players. 2598 01:56:58.319 --> 01:57:00.560 Yeah, I mean, it's a great point, and that's what 2599 01:57:00.680 --> 01:57:01.920 these couple of weeks are. 2600 01:57:01.960 --> 01:57:02.159 Four. 2601 01:57:02.239 --> 01:57:04.239 I mean, you know, you've got the Rangers three and 2602 01:57:04.239 --> 01:57:06.720 a half games out of a wildcard spot. I mean, 2603 01:57:06.800 --> 01:57:10.399 the Angels while they're there, that's there's a shelf life 2604 01:57:10.439 --> 01:57:12.239 they're going to fall off. They just don't have the 2605 01:57:12.239 --> 01:57:15.159 pitching to be able to make a run deep. I mean, 2606 01:57:15.159 --> 01:57:17.319 it is one of their more competitive years they've had. 2607 01:57:17.960 --> 01:57:20.199 But I mean, you know, we were talking about that 2608 01:57:20.199 --> 01:57:22.600 piece from CBS Sports. There's that group that's kind of 2609 01:57:22.640 --> 01:57:26.279 in the middle of Minnesota, Kansas City in Cleveland, and 2610 01:57:26.560 --> 01:57:28.800 they're all four four and a half games out. But 2611 01:57:29.399 --> 01:57:31.920 it's a question of is it just not really a 2612 01:57:32.079 --> 01:57:35.239 pathway for those teams to make the playoffs? And then 2613 01:57:35.279 --> 01:57:36.720 you know, you factor in the teams that are in 2614 01:57:36.760 --> 01:57:38.079 the National League, and we covered some. 2615 01:57:38.079 --> 01:57:41.960 Of those absolutely, it's just you know, like I said, 2616 01:57:42.479 --> 01:57:44.439 we don't know. We can from our vantage point. You 2617 01:57:44.479 --> 01:57:47.800 get an idea of, okay, this team, we can get 2618 01:57:47.840 --> 01:57:50.520 a perception of who would is going to you know, 2619 01:57:50.600 --> 01:57:52.720 crap can the whole operation and try to move on. 2620 01:57:53.000 --> 01:57:54.680 You can see that by teams that are way out 2621 01:57:54.680 --> 01:57:56.960 of it and people aren't coming to the ballpark. We 2622 01:57:56.960 --> 01:58:00.520 we know, but it's teams like Airs Owner that are 2623 01:58:00.520 --> 01:58:02.920 tweeners right now and you say, well they're in they're 2624 01:58:02.920 --> 01:58:06.439 in a precarious situation, but they know in they're building 2625 01:58:06.720 --> 01:58:09.199 for the most part, who they are. From our vantage point, 2626 01:58:09.199 --> 01:58:11.079 it may look different than inside, and they may say, 2627 01:58:11.119 --> 01:58:13.439 this is just the aberration. We're better than this. We're 2628 01:58:13.439 --> 01:58:16.159 sticking with this. We're not moving people. But there will 2629 01:58:16.199 --> 01:58:19.000 be sellers. The question I always say this, Yeah, well, 2630 01:58:19.039 --> 01:58:20.920 well you may want to go get a guy. What 2631 01:58:21.000 --> 01:58:23.199 are you willing to give up to get him? And 2632 01:58:23.520 --> 01:58:26.560 let what tier is it? Is it a superstar tier player? Well, 2633 01:58:26.680 --> 01:58:29.880 there you go. Is it a difference maker? But not 2634 01:58:30.000 --> 01:58:33.119 a guy that is our that's say, oh my gosh, 2635 01:58:33.119 --> 01:58:35.720 without him, we can't go on the difference maker that 2636 01:58:36.079 --> 01:58:38.479 you need because it fulfills a need. Or is it 2637 01:58:38.520 --> 01:58:40.199 the third one that you're just looking for depth and 2638 01:58:40.239 --> 01:58:42.079 a guy that can spot some people and play a 2639 01:58:42.079 --> 01:58:45.079 few different positions, or a pitcher that your fifth starter, 2640 01:58:45.239 --> 01:58:49.079 that it's insurance. That's what you've got to decide, whether 2641 01:58:49.119 --> 01:58:51.800 you're Arizona, whether the you're the Astros, or whether you're 2642 01:58:51.800 --> 01:58:56.319 the damn Colorado Rockies. But and you may find a 2643 01:58:56.359 --> 01:58:59.079 team that's desperate to get rid of somebody, and they 2644 01:58:59.079 --> 01:59:00.880 may just say a guy I'm I'm willing to take 2645 01:59:01.319 --> 01:59:03.600 less and you might find that team that's a tweener 2646 01:59:03.640 --> 01:59:06.159 that so like Arizona says no, if you want this cat, 2647 01:59:06.560 --> 01:59:08.000 you're gonna give up a lot. And then it comes 2648 01:59:08.039 --> 01:59:10.039 to the Astros or a team like Seattle or the 2649 01:59:10.119 --> 01:59:12.199 Rangers that are willing to say, what are we willing 2650 01:59:12.239 --> 01:59:14.560 to do to disrupt what we have to take a 2651 01:59:14.640 --> 01:59:17.600 step back and losing this guy or this prospect in 2652 01:59:17.680 --> 01:59:19.840 order to take two steps forward and give ourselves a 2653 01:59:19.960 --> 01:59:23.439 legitimate chance when we get to the postseason. Of those 2654 01:59:23.479 --> 01:59:25.920 teams we just named, obviously, the Astros are sitting in 2655 01:59:25.920 --> 01:59:29.159 a really good position. I can't imagine any team five 2656 01:59:29.199 --> 01:59:31.680 games in front of first place parting with a lot 2657 01:59:31.720 --> 01:59:34.520 of prospects to go get somebody that's going to help that. 2658 01:59:34.640 --> 01:59:37.239 I just don't see it when I say prospects and 2659 01:59:37.239 --> 01:59:40.199 possibly somebody on your team. I think the Astros have 2660 01:59:40.279 --> 01:59:42.520 to be in buyer's mode right now. I can't imagine 2661 01:59:42.520 --> 01:59:44.680 even if they lost three in a row to Seattle, 2662 01:59:45.119 --> 01:59:47.720 why would you sell If you're a first place team 2663 01:59:47.760 --> 01:59:50.960 and you sell on any team, I got a problem 2664 01:59:51.000 --> 01:59:53.880 with you as a fan base. You're basically telling me 2665 01:59:54.439 --> 01:59:56.960 we are not in and you're in first place, I 2666 01:59:57.000 --> 01:59:58.359 don't think the Astros think like that. 2667 01:59:58.479 --> 01:59:59.800 Hints why they're so successful. 2668 02:00:00.840 --> 02:00:02.640 Yeah, I don't think Dana Brown wants any part of 2669 02:00:02.640 --> 02:00:04.479 that press conference, and I don't think he's gonna have 2670 02:00:04.479 --> 02:00:07.079 to give that press conference. I think of anything, it's 2671 02:00:07.119 --> 02:00:10.479 gonna be him up there introducing us to a new 2672 02:00:10.520 --> 02:00:13.039 player or players.

You don't need to be a millionaire to 2708 02:01:51.039 --> 02:01:53.199 have a wealth advisor. You need probably need to be 2709 02:01:53.239 --> 02:01:56.640 a millionaire. I mean to hire a wealth advisor to 2710 02:01:56.720 --> 02:01:58.479 help you stay a millionaire. 2711 02:01:58.800 --> 02:01:59.479 Not a bad deal. 2712 02:01:59.560 --> 02:02:02.039 And you're always looking for somebody that can enhance your 2713 02:02:02.079 --> 02:02:05.760 peace of mind and your security.

If you don't, I would suggest you 2721 02:02:24.439 --> 02:02:27.920 think about it. Your retirement should be a big time commitment, 2722 02:02:28.159 --> 02:02:31.000 no matter when you start, but starting earlier gives you 2723 02:02:31.039 --> 02:02:33.560 a better chance to prepare not to fail. 2724 02:02:34.239 --> 02:02:35.199 That's what it's all about. 2725 02:02:35.239 --> 02:02:38.439 And Trasian Wealth is there for a free consultation three 2726 02:02:38.479 --> 02:02:41.199 four six three seven one thirty three thirty three four 2727 02:02:41.279 --> 02:02:45.199 six three seven one thirty three thirty or trationwealth dot 2728 02:02:45.199 --> 02:02:48.520 com for your piece of mind and they're there to help. 2729 02:02:48.560 --> 02:02:51.640 Trasianwealth dot Com Advisory services off through Trasian Wealth Llc, 2730 02:02:51.960 --> 02:02:53.800 a SEC registered investment advisor. 2731 02:02:53.800 --> 02:02:54.640 Paid advertisement. 2732 02:02:56.039 --> 02:03:00.159 ABM E's Houston ACVSHDJ Houston Liheart Radio Station. 2733 02:03:00.239 --> 02:03:06.239 The Astros, the Rockets, Rockets. 2734 02:03:04.760 --> 02:03:06.479 Your home for your home teams. 2735 02:03:07.079 --> 02:03:10.880 This is Sports Talk seven ninety from the Parsons Imagine 2736 02:03:11.000 --> 02:03:20.720 Next Studios, Saulsbury, Houston. 2737 02:03:21.000 --> 02:03:22.039 Okay, let's do this. 2738 02:03:22.600 --> 02:03:24.399 Sewn Salisbury. 2739 02:03:25.520 --> 02:03:28.880 Salesbury to USC Troupes, longtime friend Shawn Salisbury. 2740 02:03:28.479 --> 02:03:36.479 Dan, Matthews us.

The Open Championship 2742 02:03:42.359 --> 02:03:46.760 ongoing over in Northern Ireland and it is currently a 2743 02:03:46.800 --> 02:03:51.600 three way tie between Jacob Scove, Olison haltong Lee and 2744 02:03:51.800 --> 02:03:55.960 also Matthew Fitzpatrick all at four under.

I guess the second half of the baseball 2753 02:04:18.880 --> 02:04:20.800 season about to start the Open Championship, Dan, I haven't 2754 02:04:20.840 --> 02:04:23.560 been outside in like four days. You know, you come 2755 02:04:23.600 --> 02:04:25.600 to this thing and just you're in this giant convention 2756 02:04:25.640 --> 02:04:28.279 all in hotel, like you forget the world is still 2757 02:04:28.279 --> 02:04:29.960 happening outside of this event. 2758 02:04:30.000 --> 02:04:32.319 It's just it's a four day avalanche. Man. But it's 2759 02:04:32.359 --> 02:04:32.920 cool to be here. 2760 02:04:33.119 --> 02:04:35.640 I was gonna say, aside from getting text messages pictures 2761 02:04:35.680 --> 02:04:39.079 of my dogs, that's about the outside world that I know. 2762 02:04:40.039 --> 02:04:41.640 You know, I know, me and Sean want to get 2763 02:04:41.640 --> 02:04:44.560 into some football with you. But the Stros picked Ethan Fry. 2764 02:04:44.720 --> 02:04:45.840 Yeah, a couple of days ago. 2765 02:04:46.199 --> 02:04:48.520 Guy that part of the national title team. I mean, 2766 02:04:48.560 --> 02:04:50.960 I know he DHD mostly with LSU this year, but 2767 02:04:51.319 --> 02:04:52.520 what are the Astros getting? 2768 02:04:53.000 --> 02:04:57.239 So he is a fascinating prospect because first of all, 2769 02:04:57.479 --> 02:04:59.720 is a he has a big league body. You're talking 2770 02:04:59.720 --> 02:05:03.479 about guy that's sixty five, sixty six, super strong and 2771 02:05:03.600 --> 02:05:08.840 really athletic. I mean he he has the physical makeup 2772 02:05:08.880 --> 02:05:12.039 of a big leaguer. The weird thing about Fry is 2773 02:05:12.079 --> 02:05:15.479 he came to LSU as a catcher, played a little 2774 02:05:15.479 --> 02:05:19.439 bit of outfield, was injured a year ago, and this 2775 02:05:19.560 --> 02:05:22.119 year was just your right handed DH. I mean, you 2776 02:05:22.159 --> 02:05:25.279 guys know this, like there's just not a premium on 2777 02:05:25.840 --> 02:05:30.119 right handed power hitters that don't play a position. So 2778 02:05:30.479 --> 02:05:33.840 scouts have never seen Ethan Frye play a position. They 2779 02:05:33.840 --> 02:05:37.880 don't know what the glove is. So it's fascinating that 2780 02:05:37.920 --> 02:05:39.840 the Astros gave him, as I was told about a 2781 02:05:39.840 --> 02:05:43.680 million dollars and you know, he got overslot to sign 2782 02:05:44.359 --> 02:05:48.600 for an organization that doesn't typically do that. It was 2783 02:05:49.199 --> 02:05:53.399 a very surprising pick to see fry go where he did, 2784 02:05:54.760 --> 02:05:58.039 and LSU had a very nice nil revs share offer 2785 02:05:58.039 --> 02:06:00.840 for him to come back. But this is a guy 2786 02:06:00.920 --> 02:06:03.199 who showed this year when he was healthy, the ability 2787 02:06:03.239 --> 02:06:05.000 to hit not only for power but for average. I 2788 02:06:05.039 --> 02:06:08.640 think he landed on thirteen homers. He didn't really settle 2789 02:06:08.680 --> 02:06:10.359 in as the full time DH. He had sort of 2790 02:06:10.359 --> 02:06:12.760 a platoon early in the season, whether they were facing 2791 02:06:12.800 --> 02:06:14.800 the left to or alrighty, but he just emerged. He 2792 02:06:14.840 --> 02:06:18.920 led LSU and hitting this year and proved that the 2793 02:06:19.000 --> 02:06:20.760 ability to hit for average was there as well as 2794 02:06:20.840 --> 02:06:24.279 ability to hit for power. So super high upside Dan. 2795 02:06:24.359 --> 02:06:26.079 I just don't know where he plays, like, is he 2796 02:06:26.119 --> 02:06:28.880 a first base DH? Did they give him some run 2797 02:06:28.920 --> 02:06:30.520 in the outfield. That's what I'll have to figure out 2798 02:06:30.560 --> 02:06:30.880 in the farm. 2799 02:06:30.920 --> 02:06:31.239 System. 2800 02:06:31.239 --> 02:06:34.279 But he's got plus power and he's a great athlete 2801 02:06:34.319 --> 02:06:37.960 who can really run. He's an intriguing prospect just because 2802 02:06:38.000 --> 02:06:39.439 I don't know where he's going to play in the field. 2803 02:06:39.640 --> 02:06:44.880 Maddie, I'm curious about this. What's the with that, good brother. 2804 02:06:45.199 --> 02:06:47.239 I look forward to our getting back at it with 2805 02:06:47.319 --> 02:06:49.800 you each week in this college and NFL season start, 2806 02:06:49.840 --> 02:06:52.239 And thanks for joining us. I know you're all over 2807 02:06:52.279 --> 02:06:55.439 the map working your ass off. But back to that. 2808 02:06:56.159 --> 02:06:57.640 You look at him, you say, I don't know enough 2809 02:06:57.640 --> 02:06:59.560 about it other than the size, But you talk about 2810 02:06:59.600 --> 02:07:02.199 the potential. So what's the ceiling and floor five years, 2811 02:07:02.239 --> 02:07:03.079 ten years from now? 2812 02:07:03.760 --> 02:07:03.960 Yet? 2813 02:07:04.079 --> 02:07:07.159 I mean the floor is he doesn't play a position, 2814 02:07:08.359 --> 02:07:11.199 the ability to hit for average doesn't translate, and he's 2815 02:07:11.680 --> 02:07:13.640 he's he's not in the game. 2816 02:07:13.520 --> 02:07:16.039 Anymore, right so, but that's potent. I mean that that 2817 02:07:16.039 --> 02:07:18.560 that floor that has the potential to happen, is what 2818 02:07:18.600 --> 02:07:19.079 you're saying. 2819 02:07:19.840 --> 02:07:23.760 Yeah, I mean you have he is a super high ceiling, 2820 02:07:24.039 --> 02:07:28.800 really low floor type prospect right now. I think that 2821 02:07:29.039 --> 02:07:32.119 he I think that the swing and miss was bad 2822 02:07:32.159 --> 02:07:32.680 a year ago. 2823 02:07:32.720 --> 02:07:35.600 He eliminated that largely from his game this year. I 2824 02:07:35.600 --> 02:07:35.960 think the. 2825 02:07:35.920 --> 02:07:41.039 Ability to hit for average will translate if he finds 2826 02:07:41.039 --> 02:07:45.000 a spot in the outfield. And I think what he 2827 02:07:45.119 --> 02:07:49.399 could be is some of these power hitting guys who 2828 02:07:49.720 --> 02:07:51.119 professional teams just sort. 2829 02:07:50.960 --> 02:07:52.079 Of tried to hide and left. 2830 02:07:52.079 --> 02:07:55.439 Think your right handed power bat's think Albert Bell, Think 2831 02:07:55.560 --> 02:07:57.600 Manny Ramirez. I'm not saying he's gonna be a Hall 2832 02:07:57.640 --> 02:08:00.640 of Famer, but I'm just saying a power bat who 2833 02:08:00.920 --> 02:08:02.680 you had to put him somewhere, and so you stick 2834 02:08:02.720 --> 02:08:04.159 him in left and he's athletic enough. 2835 02:08:04.039 --> 02:08:04.319 To do it. 2836 02:08:04.359 --> 02:08:05.479 I think that's his ceiling. 2837 02:08:05.720 --> 02:08:07.840 He can be a ten year Big leaguer who plays 2838 02:08:07.920 --> 02:08:09.720 left field and you know, hits in the middle of 2839 02:08:09.760 --> 02:08:12.159 somebody's line up in clubs, you know, thirty homers a year, like, 2840 02:08:12.199 --> 02:08:15.720 I think that's his ceiling, which is really exciting, which. 2841 02:08:15.560 --> 02:08:16.399 I'm sure the Astros. 2842 02:08:16.399 --> 02:08:19.520 Why the Astros were intrigued took him, it's just have 2843 02:08:19.560 --> 02:08:22.119 not seen him play a position. So can he learn 2844 02:08:22.159 --> 02:08:24.520 to play left field again? 2845 02:08:24.600 --> 02:08:26.840 Matt Moscon at ESPN one oh four to five, joining 2846 02:08:26.920 --> 02:08:30.720 us here in Atlanta at SEC Media Days, and let's 2847 02:08:30.880 --> 02:08:33.039 switch over to some football because I know on a 2848 02:08:33.079 --> 02:08:35.319 daily basis, you talk a team that we've got on 2849 02:08:35.319 --> 02:08:39.159 our station LSU and a lot of hype around this 2850 02:08:39.239 --> 02:08:40.039 team this year. 2851 02:08:40.399 --> 02:08:43.720 You remember twenty nineteen and you remember. 2852 02:08:43.399 --> 02:08:45.760 It was another year of Joe Burrow hearing about this 2853 02:08:45.800 --> 02:08:47.920 new offense, all of those different types of things, but 2854 02:08:47.960 --> 02:08:51.359 it was unproven. Brian Kelly's got the results. Can he 2855 02:08:51.800 --> 02:08:53.520 prove it this year for this team? 2856 02:08:53.680 --> 02:08:54.920 You know, it's so fun. I was thinking I was 2857 02:08:54.920 --> 02:08:55.920 telling some of that story. 2858 02:08:56.199 --> 02:08:58.880 So when Burrow was here before the twenty nineteen season, 2859 02:08:58.960 --> 02:09:02.560 remember like at that point LSU was not known as 2860 02:09:02.560 --> 02:09:05.520 a quarterback factor that they were still the I mean 2861 02:09:05.520 --> 02:09:09.800 that was Danny yet Ling, and yeah, it was a graveyard. 2862 02:09:10.359 --> 02:09:13.319 And Burrow came here and even in eighteen Burrow's first year, 2863 02:09:13.359 --> 02:09:15.760 he went the entire month of October without throwing a 2864 02:09:15.800 --> 02:09:19.880 touchdown pass, Like it was very hit or miss. And 2865 02:09:20.039 --> 02:09:22.279 he came here to media days and he made a 2866 02:09:22.279 --> 02:09:24.439 lot of headlines because he said, we know we got 2867 02:09:24.439 --> 02:09:26.159 when I think we'll score forty fifty points a game 2868 02:09:26.199 --> 02:09:27.800 this year, and everyone kind of like rolled their eyes 2869 02:09:27.800 --> 02:09:29.640 and laugh, like the LSU quarterbacks said they're going to 2870 02:09:29.680 --> 02:09:31.439 score forty a game. Well, they went on had the 2871 02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:33.840 greatest offensive season in the history of the sport. I 2872 02:09:33.920 --> 02:09:35.359 don't know that this team is going to do that, 2873 02:09:35.560 --> 02:09:38.359 but they do return a fifth year senior and Garrett 2874 02:09:38.359 --> 02:09:42.159 and us Meyer, who who is the leading returning passer 2875 02:09:42.199 --> 02:09:44.720 in college football. He's the only four thousand yard passer 2876 02:09:44.720 --> 02:09:46.720 from a season to go back in college football this year. 2877 02:09:47.479 --> 02:09:50.279 So we know the potentials there with Garrett's gotta eliminate 2878 02:09:50.319 --> 02:09:52.439 some of the mistakes be guys. The other big thing, 2879 02:09:52.439 --> 02:09:57.239 aside from Nusmeyer returning LSU went Ham in the transfer portal. 2880 02:09:57.359 --> 02:09:58.760 I think this is the other thing that a lot 2881 02:09:58.760 --> 02:10:01.039 of people maybe are learning this week that they didn't realize. 2882 02:10:02.239 --> 02:10:04.359 They signed eighteen guys in the portal and all of 2883 02:10:04.399 --> 02:10:06.960 them were Power five starters. Some of them are all 2884 02:10:06.960 --> 02:10:10.239 conference guys. AJ Halsey from the University of Houston was 2885 02:10:10.319 --> 02:10:13.760 all Big twelve safety, led the nation interceptions. They're all 2886 02:10:13.800 --> 02:10:16.359 in like Ole Miss and Ohio State were a year ago. 2887 02:10:16.439 --> 02:10:19.319 They're all in this year financially in the portal with 2888 02:10:19.359 --> 02:10:22.399 this roster to try to build a championship around us Meyer, 2889 02:10:22.720 --> 02:10:24.960 and the playoff is the baseline. Like ten and two 2890 02:10:25.079 --> 02:10:27.199 in the playoff is the baseline expectation for this team 2891 02:10:27.199 --> 02:10:27.520 this year. 2892 02:10:27.600 --> 02:10:30.119 Mattie, if he doesn't Brian Kelly doesn't get his team, 2893 02:10:30.159 --> 02:10:33.159 and I'm big on Nussmeyer. I think that veteran will 2894 02:10:33.199 --> 02:10:35.720 teams that. Look what Ohio State did getting that veteran 2895 02:10:35.720 --> 02:10:37.960 even though they got it through the transfer portal, Look 2896 02:10:38.039 --> 02:10:39.720 what it does. And I think it was a wise 2897 02:10:39.760 --> 02:10:42.000 move for Nus to come back, and I love his game. 2898 02:10:42.119 --> 02:10:45.279 Now that being said, with all this great ability they 2899 02:10:45.279 --> 02:10:47.680 went out and got How hot is this end? And 2900 02:10:47.720 --> 02:10:50.880 the pressure obviously grows for Brian Kelly. What's the one three? 2901 02:10:50.920 --> 02:10:53.680 Since he's been at LSU and starters to start a season, 2902 02:10:53.760 --> 02:10:56.359 it doesn't get any easier this year to start a season, 2903 02:10:56.439 --> 02:10:59.439 and now with the playoff expanded to twelve teams and 2904 02:10:59.800 --> 02:11:02.600 the money he makes, how hot is the seat if 2905 02:11:02.600 --> 02:11:04.399 he doesn't make a playoff? 2906 02:11:05.079 --> 02:11:05.359 Yeah? 2907 02:11:05.960 --> 02:11:11.720 See it's I mean, there's two ways to answer that question. 2908 02:11:11.920 --> 02:11:15.399 It's what will the temperature and baton rouge be? And 2909 02:11:15.680 --> 02:11:17.359 people will be furious And I think a lot of 2910 02:11:17.359 --> 02:11:21.239 people who are maybe fence sitters on Brian Kelly waiting 2911 02:11:21.239 --> 02:11:23.159 to see if he can break through, would fall to 2912 02:11:23.199 --> 02:11:27.680 the other side on him. But realistically, Sean, if LSU 2913 02:11:27.720 --> 02:11:29.720 were to fire Brian Kelly after this season, they would 2914 02:11:29.720 --> 02:11:31.039 owe him fifty one. 2915 02:11:30.920 --> 02:11:33.159 Million dollars money alone, says he can't. 2916 02:11:32.960 --> 02:11:37.319 Right, not only that they won't, but literally sewn like 2917 02:11:37.560 --> 02:11:41.039 they can't. It's not LSU is not a poverty program, 2918 02:11:41.039 --> 02:11:43.000 but it's not a place like Texas A and M 2919 02:11:43.239 --> 02:11:45.199 that could stroke the seventy five million dollar check for 2920 02:11:45.239 --> 02:11:48.039 Jimbo ten times over and never blink right like the 2921 02:11:48.600 --> 02:11:51.560 the money isn't there to pay a fifty one million 2922 02:11:51.600 --> 02:11:52.840 dollar buyout to a coach. 2923 02:11:53.199 --> 02:11:54.680 So the way I've said. 2924 02:11:54.479 --> 02:11:56.439 It, man, is they gave him a ten year deal, 2925 02:11:56.920 --> 02:11:59.760 ninety five million dollars, ninety percent of it guaranteed for 2926 02:12:00.079 --> 02:12:02.800 better or worse. LSU and Brian Kelly are financially bound 2927 02:12:02.800 --> 02:12:05.199 for a decade, so they've got to figure out a 2928 02:12:05.199 --> 02:12:07.199 way to make it work. The quarterbacks there this year, 2929 02:12:07.279 --> 02:12:09.720 the investment is there this year, and the roster they 2930 02:12:09.760 --> 02:12:10.760 have to be in the playoff. 2931 02:12:10.880 --> 02:12:11.399 If they're not. 2932 02:12:12.159 --> 02:12:14.039 The problem that they would get to is in twenty 2933 02:12:14.079 --> 02:12:17.199 twenty six, you lose us, you lose all these transfers. 2934 02:12:17.560 --> 02:12:19.760 I think it's realistic to expect they whatever they do 2935 02:12:19.800 --> 02:12:22.359 in twenty five, I think you expect a regression in 2936 02:12:22.399 --> 02:12:25.119 twenty six, and that's when they might start looking Okay, 2937 02:12:25.119 --> 02:12:26.520 what's our what's our exit strategy? 2938 02:12:26.560 --> 02:12:26.760 Right? 2939 02:12:27.720 --> 02:12:30.279 As I mentioned, Matt Moscon at ESPN one oh four 2940 02:12:30.399 --> 02:12:33.760 five joining us, and we have LSU on the station 2941 02:12:34.159 --> 02:12:37.439 and LSU fans listen to the station living in Houston, 2942 02:12:37.760 --> 02:12:39.720 and if they are LSU fans, well they probably know 2943 02:12:39.760 --> 02:12:41.920 who you are. You're gonna be in Houston here pretty soon, 2944 02:12:41.960 --> 02:12:42.239 aren't you. 2945 02:12:42.319 --> 02:12:42.479 Yeah? 2946 02:12:42.520 --> 02:12:44.479 Man, a week from Monday, So the twenty eighth will 2947 02:12:44.479 --> 02:12:46.520 be at the Rustic, Can I say? 2948 02:12:46.600 --> 02:12:46.880 Yeah? 2949 02:12:46.960 --> 02:12:47.720 Yeah? 2950 02:12:47.720 --> 02:12:50.159 At the Rustic in downtown for my show to be 2951 02:12:50.159 --> 02:12:53.399 an LSU alumni event. So any Houston Tigers that are 2952 02:12:53.439 --> 02:12:55.000 hanging out, man, you want to come see us, We'll 2953 02:12:55.000 --> 02:12:56.520 be there for the radio show from three to six 2954 02:12:56.600 --> 02:12:59.319 Central at the Rustic in Houston on Monday the twenty eighth. 2955 02:12:59.399 --> 02:13:01.520 Hey, Madde, we said, go ahead and finish. 2956 02:13:01.560 --> 02:13:02.560 I'm sorry, Oh sorry? 2957 02:13:02.600 --> 02:13:04.960 So yeah, they we're gonna go watch the Astros Nationals 2958 02:13:05.000 --> 02:13:07.000 because Dylan Cruz and the Nationals will be in the 2959 02:13:07.039 --> 02:13:07.720 take on the Strows. 2960 02:13:07.760 --> 02:13:08.239 That's all go. 2961 02:13:08.359 --> 02:13:10.119 You guys will if you haven't heard it, you'll love 2962 02:13:10.119 --> 02:13:11.800 it and go see him in person. That'd be awesome 2963 02:13:11.840 --> 02:13:13.960 and it's always a pleasure. To have you on before 2964 02:13:13.960 --> 02:13:15.880 we let you go at who's the best team in 2965 02:13:15.880 --> 02:13:17.439 college football in your mind? If you had to make 2966 02:13:17.479 --> 02:13:18.520 a bet tomorrow, who would it. 2967 02:13:18.520 --> 02:13:18.840 Be on. 2968 02:13:23.479 --> 02:13:25.319 Talent wise? I'd probably say Texas. 2969 02:13:26.199 --> 02:13:29.720 Uh, but I have a giant question about Texas, like 2970 02:13:29.760 --> 02:13:32.000 I do with most of the teams who are projected 2971 02:13:32.000 --> 02:13:34.199 at the top, and it's a quarterback. I mean, I 2972 02:13:34.279 --> 02:13:36.680 understand all the hype around arch I understand all the 2973 02:13:36.720 --> 02:13:39.680 physical ability. 2974 02:13:38.479 --> 02:13:42.239 But until you do it, I don't know if you 2975 02:13:42.279 --> 02:13:42.760 can do it. 2976 02:13:44.520 --> 02:13:46.640 So the you know, the best roster I would say, 2977 02:13:46.680 --> 02:13:50.319 I think is Texas, but I think it's really pretty 2978 02:13:50.359 --> 02:13:53.279 wide open because it's not too far after that I 2979 02:13:53.279 --> 02:13:55.520 would look at at LSU because of what they did 2980 02:13:55.520 --> 02:13:58.960 in the transfer portal. I think it'd be fascinating to 2981 02:13:58.960 --> 02:14:00.720 see how many teams this he gets in this year 2982 02:14:00.760 --> 02:14:04.520 because I'm not sold on Georgia. I'm not Georgia with 2983 02:14:04.560 --> 02:14:10.079 a new quarterback. Fifty four percent of George's roster our 2984 02:14:10.159 --> 02:14:13.319 first or second year players.

We continue 3010 02:15:17.439 --> 02:15:22.199 here Sports Talk seven ninety. 3011 02:15:20.800 --> 02:15:24.720 The Sean Salisbury Show. Put ours smart ass on your 3012 02:15:25.199 --> 02:15:26.600 smart speaker. 3013 02:15:27.000 --> 02:15:29.520 Google play Seawan Salisbury on iHeartRadio. 3014 02:15:31.039 --> 02:15:34.560 Up front trying to be able to be more physical 3015 02:15:34.640 --> 02:15:36.359 on both sides of the ball. 3016 02:15:36.439 --> 02:15:38.000 I do remember after. 3017 02:15:37.760 --> 02:15:40.960 The twenty twenty three season ended, it was Tamiko Ryans 3018 02:15:41.039 --> 02:15:43.960 up the podium and he said, we've got to be better. 3019 02:15:44.079 --> 02:15:46.680 We've got to be deeper on the defensive side of 3020 02:15:46.680 --> 02:15:48.920 the ball. They did that last year. They were very 3021 02:15:48.920 --> 02:15:51.199 good up front last year on the defensive side of 3022 02:15:51.199 --> 02:15:53.479 the football, and it wasn't a reason why they lost 3023 02:15:53.520 --> 02:15:56.199 football games. It was on the offensive side, namely the 3024 02:15:56.199 --> 02:16:01.000 offensive line. Similar thing was said after season, and it 3025 02:16:01.039 --> 02:16:03.319 does seem like they made those moves to be able 3026 02:16:03.319 --> 02:16:06.840 to try to rectify some of those issues upfront. Now 3027 02:16:06.880 --> 02:16:09.600 it's just a thing of those guys, how do they 3028 02:16:09.600 --> 02:16:11.720 fit in and how do they perform when they're out 3029 02:16:11.720 --> 02:16:12.399 there on the field. 3030 02:16:13.479 --> 02:16:16.920 Yeah, the Rappers have changed, meaning the players up front, 3031 02:16:17.079 --> 02:16:19.840 but the attitude and the approach has to be better. 3032 02:16:20.560 --> 02:16:22.479 They have to be better. They got punked at times 3033 02:16:22.560 --> 02:16:26.119 last year. They the cold hard facts are that they 3034 02:16:26.119 --> 02:16:29.520 did not They did not protect and block in the past. 3035 02:16:29.560 --> 02:16:33.959 Protection wise, they didn't handle. I'm talking about they didn't 3036 02:16:34.000 --> 02:16:39.639 even handle just basic stunts. They just didn't and basic 3037 02:16:39.879 --> 02:16:43.280 they didn't. They were they were They underachieved in that 3038 02:16:43.360 --> 02:16:45.440 area too, and they're gonna have to get better. And 3039 02:16:45.479 --> 02:16:47.959 then the physicality that goes along with it. Sometimes it 3040 02:16:48.120 --> 02:16:51.239 just becomes a body blow game where you know you're 3041 02:16:51.239 --> 02:16:53.000 not flailing a way and have to finesse them, but 3042 02:16:53.040 --> 02:16:54.600 you're just gonna have to punch somebody in a gut. 3043 02:16:54.600 --> 02:16:57.600 And you watch the team Philadelphia did that in the 3044 02:16:57.600 --> 02:17:01.239 Super Bowl and then their quarterback did well what pressure 3045 02:17:01.319 --> 02:17:04.399 quarterbacks do. And I think, quite frankly to digress that 3046 02:17:04.760 --> 02:17:06.559 Jalen Hurts is one of the more underrated since he's 3047 02:17:06.600 --> 02:17:08.120 a Texas got one of the more underrated players in 3048 02:17:08.159 --> 02:17:08.440 the league. 3049 02:17:08.479 --> 02:17:08.719 I do. 3050 02:17:08.879 --> 02:17:10.479 I don't think he gets enough credit here. We know 3051 02:17:10.520 --> 02:17:12.440 the quarterback gets a lot of credit. But I got 3052 02:17:12.479 --> 02:17:15.520 news for you. The Super Bowl champions offensive line moved 3053 02:17:15.600 --> 02:17:19.479 piles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs two losses in the 3054 02:17:19.520 --> 02:17:23.639 Super Bowls. Guess what happened with them? They got dominated 3055 02:17:23.639 --> 02:17:26.040 by a front seven. Those are those two losses in 3056 02:17:26.040 --> 02:17:28.680 the Super Bowl, and it happened the second one happened 3057 02:17:28.719 --> 02:17:31.840 this time. So Philadelphia and Tampa Bay have both got them. 3058 02:17:31.920 --> 02:17:35.600 So if this team has aspirations to go where we 3059 02:17:35.680 --> 02:17:39.360 think and that's to February, and that's not far fetched 3060 02:17:39.360 --> 02:17:42.760 because they're really good and they will get they'll move 3061 02:17:42.799 --> 02:17:45.399 the ball around plenty. We don't know how the coordinator 3062 02:17:45.440 --> 02:17:47.840 is going to call plays. I'm assuming pretty damn aggressive 3063 02:17:47.879 --> 02:17:50.159 and get after it. But you get to be more 3064 02:17:50.200 --> 02:17:52.879 aggressive when you got Mixing and Chubb, and you get 3065 02:17:52.879 --> 02:17:55.760 to be more aggressive when and be able to play 3066 02:17:56.000 --> 02:17:58.440 in a game that's not a shootout. You get to 3067 02:17:58.440 --> 02:18:00.399 play in a game where you're actually playing somebody that 3068 02:18:00.440 --> 02:18:03.360 matches your physicality. And in the past and last year 3069 02:18:03.719 --> 02:18:05.520 they got pushed around by teams that were a little 3070 02:18:05.559 --> 02:18:08.280 more physical, and that had to be the number one party. 3071 02:18:08.399 --> 02:18:10.399 Demiko got that message out to the defense. 3072 02:18:10.520 --> 02:18:11.040 It worked. 3073 02:18:11.479 --> 02:18:13.280 I think they're one of the best defenses in the league, 3074 02:18:13.280 --> 02:18:16.559 and a young one at that. The offensive line regardless 3075 02:18:16.600 --> 02:18:18.440 who they are, and I don't have a problem with 3076 02:18:18.479 --> 02:18:21.040 them moving tunsl good on them, and it'll be good 3077 02:18:21.040 --> 02:18:22.520 for Washington because he's a good player. 3078 02:18:22.799 --> 02:18:23.879 But I need five. 3079 02:18:23.760 --> 02:18:26.399 Solid ones more than one good one, and four that 3080 02:18:26.440 --> 02:18:29.360 are like well it depends in the right position. Are 3081 02:18:29.360 --> 02:18:33.319 they physical, and hopefully it'll cut down part of the discipline, 3082 02:18:34.120 --> 02:18:37.959 not just the physicality. Part of that discipline and domination physically. 3083 02:18:38.000 --> 02:18:42.159 We're talking about is give yourself a chance pre snap penalties. 3084 02:18:42.200 --> 02:18:44.559 If you're at first in fifteen or third and ten 3085 02:18:44.600 --> 02:18:46.040 and then you get a fire and now it's third 3086 02:18:46.040 --> 02:18:48.360 and fifteen, you ain't getting many first downs and you 3087 02:18:48.399 --> 02:18:51.319 don't get to play physical. Now you're forced into finesse. 3088 02:18:51.760 --> 02:18:55.399 So that was self inflicted crap led by the left tackle. 3089 02:18:55.479 --> 02:18:58.639 Good player, he's not crap, but the decisions to constantly 3090 02:18:58.719 --> 02:19:03.040 jump off sides. This team offensively last year so good 3091 02:19:03.040 --> 02:19:05.120 that they moved on. Now you got to get some 3092 02:19:05.239 --> 02:19:07.440 answers and some response from the rest of this team 3093 02:19:07.680 --> 02:19:09.440 and live up to the talk of we're going to 3094 02:19:09.520 --> 02:19:12.319 be more physical and we'll go find out because there's 3095 02:19:12.319 --> 02:19:14.399 plenty who can hit you in the mouth, and I'd 3096 02:19:14.399 --> 02:19:16.280 like to see them come back with body blows and 3097 02:19:16.280 --> 02:19:18.399 see how that responds for them. 3098 02:19:19.200 --> 02:19:19.440 Well. 3099 02:19:19.479 --> 02:19:21.719 And it's also too, I mean, the penalty part of 3100 02:19:21.719 --> 02:19:24.559 what you were talking about there is what hurt them 3101 02:19:24.639 --> 02:19:28.440 last season, where they would have a lead like they 3102 02:19:28.479 --> 02:19:31.879 did on Sunday, night Football against the Lions, and because 3103 02:19:31.920 --> 02:19:36.479 they were unable to stay disciplined and allowed for Detroit 3104 02:19:36.520 --> 02:19:38.200 to be able to get back into that game. That's 3105 02:19:38.200 --> 02:19:40.479 why they lost that game. I mean even other games too. 3106 02:19:40.520 --> 02:19:43.479 It was pretty much close games last year were not 3107 02:19:43.840 --> 02:19:46.079 going to go in their favor because of how they played. 3108 02:19:46.120 --> 02:19:48.799 In that regard, even in wins, at times they got 3109 02:19:48.799 --> 02:19:51.040 pushed around. They're fortunate they have some really good players 3110 02:19:51.040 --> 02:19:53.280 and the defense did a hell of a job last 3111 02:19:53.360 --> 02:19:55.799 year as well. It didn't just put them in trouble, 3112 02:19:56.079 --> 02:19:59.959 it crushed them. Their ability to get penalties was uncanny. 3113 02:20:01.239 --> 02:20:04.639 In my life, I have never seen a player or 3114 02:20:04.680 --> 02:20:08.399 a team, especially a player. So that's a high paid 3115 02:20:08.399 --> 02:20:10.760 player that's supposed to be a dominant player. I can 3116 02:20:10.799 --> 02:20:13.799 never consider a dominant player that kills my team during 3117 02:20:13.840 --> 02:20:16.280 pre snap. Tunts is a good player, make no mistake. 3118 02:20:16.319 --> 02:20:17.799 He's not the best left tack in the league. Now, 3119 02:20:17.840 --> 02:20:21.000 Washington may get themselves a damn good one. He's talented 3120 02:20:21.000 --> 02:20:24.920 as hell. But until you can be disciplined enough a 3121 02:20:25.479 --> 02:20:28.719 pre snap and penalty wise, I can't put you in 3122 02:20:28.719 --> 02:20:31.079 the class of the guys who don't do that. When 3123 02:20:31.079 --> 02:20:33.680 the ball snapped a pretty damn good player, So you 3124 02:20:33.760 --> 02:20:36.000 had to eliminate that, and if you couldn't eliminate it, 3125 02:20:36.000 --> 02:20:38.520 then you're in the same problem. And the year before 3126 02:20:38.639 --> 02:20:42.040 he was penalized a lot, so you, truthfully, you got 3127 02:20:42.120 --> 02:20:44.280 rid of a bunch of penalties. Now let's hope that 3128 02:20:44.280 --> 02:20:46.799 that improves, because pre snap penalties didn't hurt him. Pre 3129 02:20:46.879 --> 02:20:50.959 snap penalties and penalties around killed them offensively. You can't 3130 02:20:50.959 --> 02:20:53.680 win games on second and fourteen, you just can't. You'll 3131 02:20:53.680 --> 02:20:56.159 get him once in a while. That's too much to overcome. 3132 02:20:56.680 --> 02:20:58.360 And this year it has to be different. If they 3133 02:20:58.360 --> 02:21:00.399 cut down on the penalties and are able to choke 3134 02:21:00.479 --> 02:21:03.879 you out once in a while physically, and well not 3135 02:21:04.000 --> 02:21:05.440 just once in a while, the majority of the time, 3136 02:21:05.520 --> 02:21:07.799 the rest will take care of itself because if you're 3137 02:21:07.840 --> 02:21:10.760 not physical, pillow fights don't win NFL football games, and 3138 02:21:10.760 --> 02:21:12.479 they sure as hell don't win championships. 3139 02:21:13.440 --> 02:21:15.680 No, the complete opposite does. And you talked about the 3140 02:21:15.719 --> 02:21:18.840 Philadelphia Eagles. They showed that in a huge way when 3141 02:21:18.840 --> 02:21:21.399 they took down the Chiefs in the fashion they. 3142 02:21:21.280 --> 02:21:22.120 Did in the Super Bowl. 3143 02:21:22.200 --> 02:21:25.959 So hopefully the Sexans can turn that page in twenty 3144 02:21:26.040 --> 02:21:29.079 twenty five. Adrian C You right, there working into the 3145 02:21:29.120 --> 02:21:31.319 conversation as the show continues along. 3146 02:21:31.360 --> 02:21:34.040 But Chris Gordy our Thursday visit with him. 3147 02:21:34.120 --> 02:21:36.000 Normally we do it at the top of the hour 3148 02:21:36.040 --> 02:21:38.399 today because of Matt Moscona joining us doing it at 3149 02:21:38.399 --> 02:21:40.360 the bottom of the hour here as we continue along 3150 02:21:40.399 --> 02:21:44.399 here on the Sean Salisbury Show Sports Talk seven ninety. 3151 02:21:44.440 --> 02:21:47.000 But Sean, we talked about him a little bit earlier. 3152 02:21:47.040 --> 02:21:50.159 Let's talk about jbar and Barbecue again. Because when I 3153 02:21:50.239 --> 02:21:54.799 say elite, thick cut, juicy, really good brisket, who am 3154 02:21:54.840 --> 02:21:55.559 I talking about? 3155 02:21:55.760 --> 02:21:58.520 Well, you have obviously jbar and Barbecue. And I can 3156 02:21:58.559 --> 02:22:00.920 remember the very first time I went in there and 3157 02:22:01.399 --> 02:22:04.360 went through the line and just saw the setup. You know, 3158 02:22:05.479 --> 02:22:10.959 optics matter to me because man, clean, spacious outdoors where 3159 02:22:10.959 --> 02:22:12.840 you can go there, you know, on a Saturday and 3160 02:22:12.840 --> 02:22:15.959 get yourself watching a game or Astros pregame and postgame. 3161 02:22:16.000 --> 02:22:17.879 But you don't need an event surrounding you to want 3162 02:22:17.879 --> 02:22:20.680 to get in your car and drive an hour away 3163 02:22:20.719 --> 02:22:22.840 to get to the best barbecue.

The seven ninety listener 3209 02:24:05.520 --> 02:24:08.040 line here in the nine o'clock hour is presented by 3210 02:24:08.159 --> 02:24:10.440 one eight hundred car Cash. 3211 02:24:10.440 --> 02:24:12.719 Sean. We're supposed to have Chris Gordy right now. 3212 02:24:12.719 --> 02:24:15.719 And remember the really loud guy I told you about, 3213 02:24:16.040 --> 02:24:18.399 you know, earlier in the week, and maybe I sent 3214 02:24:18.399 --> 02:24:19.879 you guys a video of them. 3215 02:24:20.239 --> 02:24:24.559 You remember that guy? Yeah? Does ring any bells? Well? 3216 02:24:24.600 --> 02:24:27.440 Anyway, Gordy's doing an interview with him right now, so 3217 02:24:27.920 --> 02:24:29.399 I guess he just lost track of time. 3218 02:24:29.440 --> 02:24:31.399 But we'll catch up with Gordy here in just a 3219 02:24:31.399 --> 02:24:33.239 little bit. But while we're. 3220 02:24:33.040 --> 02:24:36.319 Waiting on him, did you see that Deep Portnoy might 3221 02:24:36.360 --> 02:24:38.760 be part of Big Noon kickoff for Fox? 3222 02:24:39.200 --> 02:24:40.159 I did, Well, I think that. 3223 02:24:40.399 --> 02:24:43.000 I mean they've talked about not only signing him to 3224 02:24:43.000 --> 02:24:46.520 be part of it, but also taking Barstool content and 3225 02:24:46.559 --> 02:24:48.600 putting on Fox's platform. 3226 02:24:48.719 --> 02:24:51.200 So I don't think it might be. 3227 02:24:51.319 --> 02:24:56.360 I think it's a foregone conclusion that they he and 3228 02:24:56.479 --> 02:25:01.000 their group at Barstool are going to have a different 3229 02:25:01.360 --> 02:25:05.959 added platform two uh, not only to their platform but 3230 02:25:06.079 --> 02:25:08.719 at it and Eyes and Visuals. But I think Portnoy 3231 02:25:08.799 --> 02:25:13.159 will probably be joining Urban Meyer and mark Ingram and 3232 02:25:13.159 --> 02:25:16.840 and h Brady Quinn and Matt Liinert. And I still 3233 02:25:16.840 --> 02:25:20.559 think though, isn't the hostile Rob Rob Stone. I think 3234 02:25:20.559 --> 02:25:25.079 that's the group Stone so that no, he's Reggie Bush 3235 02:25:25.079 --> 02:25:26.799 hasn't been on it for he wasn't on it last 3236 02:25:26.840 --> 02:25:29.600 year either. Mark Ingram took over for him. Oh you 3237 02:25:29.760 --> 02:25:31.680 Blue Bush's Bush hasn't been on and this will be 3238 02:25:31.760 --> 02:25:32.200 year two. 3239 02:25:32.360 --> 02:25:35.479 I think maybe year three, but year two for sure. 3240 02:25:35.559 --> 02:25:38.719 So out of that group, you know, you know, you 3241 02:25:38.799 --> 02:25:40.479 know the message they're trying. They're trying to have a 3242 02:25:40.559 --> 02:25:44.680 Pat McAfee type guy on that set. Now, I don't 3243 02:25:44.680 --> 02:25:46.680 know the extent of it. Will he be throughout the 3244 02:25:46.719 --> 02:25:49.559 whole show or will it just be bits and pieces 3245 02:25:49.559 --> 02:25:51.159 where he's in the audience going around? 3246 02:25:51.360 --> 02:25:53.079 You know what will he do? 3247 02:25:53.159 --> 02:25:56.440 But you know, Barstools built something pretty big and Porto's 3248 02:25:56.600 --> 02:26:00.639 Portnoy's at the forefront of it, so good on him, 3249 02:26:00.920 --> 02:26:03.840 and uh, if they're gonna I'm sure to see if 3250 02:26:03.879 --> 02:26:06.280 it works. And uh, I'm anxious to see how it 3251 02:26:06.319 --> 02:26:08.239 does because they got a big dog to chase and 3252 02:26:08.319 --> 02:26:11.399 that that that Countdown Show or should I say Countdown 3253 02:26:11.680 --> 02:26:15.239 that Game Day show is pretty impressive. But you know what, 3254 02:26:15.559 --> 02:26:17.680 you're trying to close the gap of competition, and they'll 3255 02:26:17.680 --> 02:26:20.239 see if Barstool and Portnoy came. Good on Barstool, They've 3256 02:26:20.239 --> 02:26:22.200 they've made an impact and they've got a lot of following, 3257 02:26:22.280 --> 02:26:25.079 and Portnoy obviously, and you'll get what they love is 3258 02:26:25.079 --> 02:26:26.840 that you're going to get the you're going to get 3259 02:26:26.879 --> 02:26:29.000 the hate and you're going to get the love for him, 3260 02:26:29.399 --> 02:26:31.799 which is in truth what you want. You want somebody 3261 02:26:31.879 --> 02:26:33.959 you want to watch because you dislike it, and you 3262 02:26:34.000 --> 02:26:36.239 want to watch because you like it. You can't have 3263 02:26:36.319 --> 02:26:38.600 everybody loving it because people will just take it for granted. 3264 02:26:38.600 --> 02:26:39.479 You've got to have both. 3265 02:26:39.520 --> 02:26:41.959 In Portnoy is a light you drive for that and 3266 02:26:42.200 --> 02:26:44.239 uh isn't a shy of an opinion, and it's built 3267 02:26:44.280 --> 02:26:47.000 something pretty good and special at at barstool. 3268 02:26:48.120 --> 02:26:50.719 Yeah, And you know, the the advantage that College Game 3269 02:26:50.840 --> 02:26:53.719 Day has is they've got pretty much all throughout the country. 3270 02:26:53.760 --> 02:26:55.760 It's hey, where do we want to go? Next week? 3271 02:26:55.799 --> 02:26:57.959 We'll go to Ohio State. Hey to where we want 3272 02:26:57.959 --> 02:27:00.920 to go? The following week, we'll go to Alabama you 3273 02:27:01.120 --> 02:27:02.959 or you know, go to Notre Dame whoever it is 3274 02:27:03.000 --> 02:27:05.879 whereas Big newt kickoff. It's pretty much is it a 3275 02:27:05.879 --> 02:27:08.799 Big ten school? And that's where they'll go. So, I mean, 3276 02:27:08.920 --> 02:27:11.239 I think that's something else that they kind of fight 3277 02:27:11.399 --> 02:27:13.520 uphill against College Game Day on. 3278 02:27:13.680 --> 02:27:17.200 It's a bigger production, they spend more on it, they've 3279 02:27:17.200 --> 02:27:20.239 been doing it longer. It's tough to it's tough to 3280 02:27:20.360 --> 02:27:24.079 close that gap. Although I think Fox has as a 3281 02:27:24.200 --> 02:27:28.280 good group, it's just the entertainment. There's just a different level. 3282 02:27:28.319 --> 02:27:30.319 It's it's a it's a hill to climb, but you 3283 02:27:30.360 --> 02:27:32.879 know what, there's room for more than one and Fox 3284 02:27:32.920 --> 02:27:35.680 has proven that and they've got good, strong opinion, but 3285 02:27:36.639 --> 02:27:39.280 it's a trying to unseat that group. And look at 3286 02:27:39.280 --> 02:27:46.360 the names Herb Street Star, Pat McAfee star, Nick Saban Starr, 3287 02:27:46.760 --> 02:27:50.079 Rhys Davis is good a host and and traffic cop 3288 02:27:50.120 --> 02:27:52.159 on a pregame show, Is There Is on a Planet? 3289 02:27:52.239 --> 02:27:55.879 Desmond Howard Star. They're loaded. They're just freaking loaded. So 3290 02:27:56.239 --> 02:27:58.879 it's fun competition and I think it's good for Fox 3291 02:27:58.959 --> 02:28:01.600 to experiment with it and see where it goes, because 3292 02:28:01.639 --> 02:28:04.440 you know you're gonna have eyes and visuals there and 3293 02:28:04.479 --> 02:28:07.920 it's a good platform to extend their brand. And obviously Fox, 3294 02:28:07.959 --> 02:28:10.079 which you saw the changes this week with them dropping 3295 02:28:10.120 --> 02:28:12.680 three show after show after show and moving talent on. 3296 02:28:13.079 --> 02:28:15.000 They're looking for a kick in the ass and the 3297 02:28:15.040 --> 02:28:17.680 guy who hired all those shows is no longer the 3298 02:28:17.680 --> 02:28:20.799 executive is no longer there, so they're trying to upgrade it. 3299 02:28:20.879 --> 02:28:23.600 And it's a good place to start because of not 3300 02:28:23.639 --> 02:28:27.040 only name value. But because the optics that barstool brings. 3301 02:28:27.639 --> 02:28:29.280 Yeah, it does seem like there is a little bit 3302 02:28:29.280 --> 02:28:32.639 of a renovation going on over there at Fox Sports 3303 02:28:32.719 --> 02:28:36.559 FS one, and that's part of their network. 3304 02:28:36.680 --> 02:28:37.520 But if you want to. 3305 02:28:37.520 --> 02:28:40.479 Weigh in on the conversation, you can do so seon 3306 02:28:40.479 --> 02:28:43.600 one three two, one, two five seven ninety. Conrad James 3307 02:28:43.879 --> 02:28:45.760 wants to hop in at James. What's going on? 3308 02:28:46.840 --> 02:28:55.000 Yeah, and it's always a pleasure. Again, I willow gentlemen. Also, 3309 02:28:55.399 --> 02:28:59.680 I tacked my grandkids to the Satin and Rangers. 3310 02:29:00.159 --> 02:29:01.879 Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're gonna put you. 3311 02:29:01.920 --> 02:29:04.719 Oh yeah, Conrad, he he has a different Yeah. 3312 02:29:04.760 --> 02:29:06.600 He just wants to know what you guys think about 3313 02:29:07.079 --> 02:29:08.200 cutting Lance mccolors. 3314 02:29:08.239 --> 02:29:09.319 Is it time to let him go? 3315 02:29:09.479 --> 02:29:11.760 And by the Conrad James, we just you kept cutting 3316 02:29:11.760 --> 02:29:13.200 in and out. That's why we're not trying to get 3317 02:29:13.239 --> 02:29:15.440 you off for any time purposes. We just we can't 3318 02:29:15.479 --> 02:29:17.520 hear you. Go ahead, Dan, if you want to. 3319 02:29:17.840 --> 02:29:18.399 I don't. 3320 02:29:18.840 --> 02:29:20.959 I think you have to visit what the future is 3321 02:29:20.959 --> 02:29:24.159 with Lance mccolors. But I think the teaser is about 3322 02:29:24.159 --> 02:29:26.600 every other start and he's given you something really good, 3323 02:29:26.920 --> 02:29:28.600 and then he's given you something at home that hasn't 3324 02:29:28.639 --> 02:29:29.000 been good. 3325 02:29:29.399 --> 02:29:29.920 I don't know. 3326 02:29:30.120 --> 02:29:31.920 I don't know if they're going to DFAM. I wouldn't 3327 02:29:31.920 --> 02:29:33.559 think they're going to. I don't think they can afford 3328 02:29:33.559 --> 02:29:35.760 to right now. When it comes to arms. I think 3329 02:29:35.799 --> 02:29:38.719 depth wise they have to. Now, who knows moving forward, 3330 02:29:39.040 --> 02:29:41.120 I don't think they're there yet. I don't know about you, Dan, 3331 02:29:41.159 --> 02:29:45.360 but I'm gonna say that you're not prepared. That they're 3332 02:29:45.399 --> 02:29:47.840 not prepared, especially with it if everybody was healthy, I 3333 02:29:47.879 --> 02:29:51.159 don't know, maybe you'd consider trying to move him. But 3334 02:29:51.959 --> 02:29:54.639 they quite frankly need the arm, but you also need 3335 02:29:54.639 --> 02:29:57.680 the road Lance mccolors at home, that's the guy you 3336 02:29:57.719 --> 02:29:58.200 got to get. 3337 02:29:59.079 --> 02:30:01.040 Yeah, so it's two. I don't thinks you just mentioned. 3338 02:30:01.079 --> 02:30:03.639 I mean the depth part of it of really needing him, 3339 02:30:03.680 --> 02:30:07.680 but also the you know part of how he's been 3340 02:30:07.719 --> 02:30:08.239 on the road. 3341 02:30:08.319 --> 02:30:10.159 He's actually been incredibly. 3342 02:30:09.680 --> 02:30:12.040 Good some one or if I'm not mistaken, on the 3343 02:30:12.079 --> 02:30:14.639 road this year, but he's not been great at home. 3344 02:30:14.680 --> 02:30:16.639 I would say that if you were looking at a 3345 02:30:16.680 --> 02:30:20.280 clock of is it at midnight for your decision to 3346 02:30:20.280 --> 02:30:23.120 go ahead and send him packing, you're at about ten 3347 02:30:23.120 --> 02:30:25.600 o'clock right now, Like I don't. I don't think that 3348 02:30:26.120 --> 02:30:29.840 you're that far away from it. But you're also not 3349 02:30:30.040 --> 02:30:33.280 that close away from making that decision because I mean, 3350 02:30:33.360 --> 02:30:36.440 I think that you've already sunk cost in a couple 3351 02:30:36.440 --> 02:30:38.280 of other guys. Do you really want to do that 3352 02:30:38.319 --> 02:30:41.040 with a third guy that you're paying to not be 3353 02:30:41.159 --> 02:30:43.959 part of your team. Or if you do DFAM and 3354 02:30:44.040 --> 02:30:46.799 somebody else takes him on, I mean, you probably still 3355 02:30:46.799 --> 02:30:49.600 have to believe you're you're taking on a huge amount 3356 02:30:49.600 --> 02:30:51.680 of that money. So I just I think for the 3357 02:30:51.680 --> 02:30:54.200 other reasons you just mentioned, that's what went outs first 3358 02:30:54.239 --> 02:30:56.520 and foremost. But no, I don't see that much. 3359 02:30:56.600 --> 02:30:58.680 And I don't think you're for the money he's making. 3360 02:30:58.760 --> 02:31:02.239 In the injury history and what you've seen, the inconsistency, 3361 02:31:02.639 --> 02:31:04.920 I don't think right now that there'd be a whole 3362 02:31:04.959 --> 02:31:07.520 lot of people stand in line to trade for him 3363 02:31:07.600 --> 02:31:10.280 and that salary. So the df if you were going 3364 02:31:10.319 --> 02:31:12.879 to so the best option of the three right now 3365 02:31:13.200 --> 02:31:15.239 considering health. But if he was fully healthy, he had 3366 02:31:15.360 --> 02:31:20.440 eight starters and the money, well you're not gonna train, 3367 02:31:20.520 --> 02:31:22.280 but you thought, well, you know what, we're gonna pay 3368 02:31:22.319 --> 02:31:25.520 him anyway, because it's baseball, you would probably have to 3369 02:31:25.559 --> 02:31:28.360 consider that at least it would be something you would 3370 02:31:28.399 --> 02:31:30.319 talk about. But I don't think they're there yet for 3371 02:31:30.319 --> 02:31:31.719 those reasons that we just mentioned. 3372 02:31:32.920 --> 02:31:35.760 Yeah, and those are the reasons that went out and 3373 02:31:36.079 --> 02:31:39.799 another chance for us to be able to catch up 3374 02:31:39.799 --> 02:31:43.520 with Chris Gordy here at SEC Media Days, he wrapped 3375 02:31:43.559 --> 02:31:45.719 up his interviews, so he's gonna hang out with us 3376 02:31:45.719 --> 02:31:47.840 for the final segment, Shawn, So we'll do that here 3377 02:31:48.159 --> 02:31:50.600 as me and him wrap up.

Gordy. 3420 02:33:50.719 --> 02:33:52.719 I don't know if you heard when we had scoring 3421 02:33:52.799 --> 02:33:56.120 on with us Matt Moscona, but Seawan had asked him 3422 02:33:56.360 --> 02:33:59.079 who he believes is the best team in college football 3423 02:33:59.079 --> 02:34:01.920 this year, and he kind of struggled in terms of 3424 02:34:02.000 --> 02:34:05.120 he threw out some names, but he wasn't necessarily committed 3425 02:34:05.120 --> 02:34:05.600 to anyone. 3426 02:34:05.760 --> 02:34:08.159 Is that what the twenty twenty five college football season is? 3427 02:34:08.959 --> 02:34:09.760 I think it is. 3428 02:34:09.799 --> 02:34:12.360 I think it's wide open. You know, Sean and I 3429 02:34:12.360 --> 02:34:13.799 have talked about it for a couple of weeks. Who's 3430 02:34:13.799 --> 02:34:16.840 who's the best team? I mean, you know, Ohio State 3431 02:34:16.920 --> 02:34:20.000 won the national championship and they they lose a ton 3432 02:34:20.000 --> 02:34:21.680 off that team, They're still. 3433 02:34:21.520 --> 02:34:22.159 Gonna be really good. 3434 02:34:22.200 --> 02:34:25.399 They're still gonna be loaded but you know, Clemson's loaded 3435 02:34:25.440 --> 02:34:27.879 in the ACC. I think a lot of these SEC 3436 02:34:27.920 --> 02:34:30.760 teams are loaded. So yeah, it does feel like one 3437 02:34:30.760 --> 02:34:33.360 of those years. And the playoffs has changed the dynamic too. 3438 02:34:33.559 --> 02:34:34.920 I mean, you could have a team you think is 3439 02:34:34.959 --> 02:34:37.600 the best team, make the playoff and be one and done. 3440 02:34:38.440 --> 02:34:42.200 Allah Oregon, I mean the Oregon hype every year. I'm like, yeah, 3441 02:34:42.239 --> 02:34:44.840 great Oregon, when are you gonna do something? Dan Landing, 3442 02:34:44.920 --> 02:34:47.920 I mean, no offense, but like you know, keep hearing 3443 02:34:47.959 --> 02:34:50.319 how great Dan Lanning is and he's top recruiting classes 3444 02:34:50.360 --> 02:34:52.879 and all this, but go win something. I mean, when 3445 02:34:53.280 --> 02:34:56.319 Oregon gets hyped up every year and then falls falls short. 3446 02:34:56.440 --> 02:34:59.440 So I don't know, But but Sean the highlight of 3447 02:34:59.440 --> 02:35:01.799 the day so far. I don't know why they saved 3448 02:35:01.840 --> 02:35:04.799 Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz for the last day here at media days. 3449 02:35:04.799 --> 02:35:06.920 He should have been the first day. Gets up at 3450 02:35:06.920 --> 02:35:08.920 the podium and says, I'm not going to answer any 3451 02:35:09.000 --> 02:35:12.799 questions about the Epstein file. So that was quite a 3452 02:35:12.799 --> 02:35:14.920 way to start SEC Media Day Day four. 3453 02:35:15.000 --> 02:35:17.879 Well, I think they probably time it because at the beginning, 3454 02:35:17.879 --> 02:35:20.200 everybody's pumped anyway, so you don't really care the guys 3455 02:35:20.200 --> 02:35:21.280 that they're just running him out. 3456 02:35:21.440 --> 02:35:21.840 At the end. 3457 02:35:21.920 --> 02:35:24.520 You guys have been working, you're all tired, and it's like, well, 3458 02:35:24.559 --> 02:35:26.159 let's bring this guy in for a little bit of 3459 02:35:26.200 --> 02:35:28.440 red bull into our veins and bam, there you go 3460 02:35:28.559 --> 02:35:30.399 right off the start. I love it and I love him, 3461 02:35:30.680 --> 02:35:32.719 and man does he do a great job with the program. 3462 02:35:32.959 --> 02:35:35.719 And Gordian and Dan along with this and talking about 3463 02:35:35.760 --> 02:35:37.680 who the best team is and you guys can respond 3464 02:35:37.719 --> 02:35:41.000 to this, and Matt had kind of alluded to it too. 3465 02:35:41.360 --> 02:35:44.079 Think about the good teams in the country, and I'll 3466 02:35:44.120 --> 02:35:45.879 expand this, think about the good teams in the country 3467 02:35:45.879 --> 02:35:52.399 that lost quarterbacks. Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia. You start to 3468 02:35:52.440 --> 02:35:57.079 go through teams that have lost even Texas now start 3469 02:35:57.120 --> 02:35:59.479 to go so winning down. I guess my point is 3470 02:35:59.719 --> 02:36:01.559 not saying these teams are going to win the national title, 3471 02:36:01.559 --> 02:36:04.000 but if you're sitting on the fence, start to look 3472 02:36:04.040 --> 02:36:08.159 around at the teams who kept their coordinator or kept 3473 02:36:08.159 --> 02:36:12.040 their head coach, but also have that veteran LSU I'm 3474 02:36:12.040 --> 02:36:14.719 talking about when push comes to shop Leonora's sellers. That 3475 02:36:14.760 --> 02:36:18.239 is good South Carolina team Jackson Dart gone at Ole Miss. 3476 02:36:18.319 --> 02:36:20.200 So there's a problem. Then you start to take a 3477 02:36:20.200 --> 02:36:23.840 look at around the country those guys who have a 3478 02:36:23.959 --> 02:36:27.280 veteran quarterback that's been in it. So if you're sitting 3479 02:36:27.319 --> 02:36:29.280 on the fence and saying, well, who, I don't know 3480 02:36:29.319 --> 02:36:31.239 if those teams can win it, but you can do 3481 02:36:31.280 --> 02:36:33.600 a lot worse than having a team that's got a 3482 02:36:33.639 --> 02:36:37.440 veteran quarterback that's a top ten, top fifteen team, because 3483 02:36:37.479 --> 02:36:39.799 like the Sellers of the world and the Nuts Smyers 3484 02:36:39.840 --> 02:36:41.600 of the world are at a different level, and a 3485 02:36:41.600 --> 02:36:43.799 lot of the quarterbacks so I think there's a lot 3486 02:36:43.840 --> 02:36:46.159 The biggest question in college football this year is which 3487 02:36:46.239 --> 02:36:48.840 quarterback can elevate his good team and which one's going 3488 02:36:48.920 --> 02:36:50.159 to fall off Gordy. 3489 02:36:50.639 --> 02:36:52.840 And that's the thing. There's so many quarterbacks that are 3490 02:36:53.000 --> 02:36:54.280 different stages of that. 3491 02:36:54.440 --> 02:36:58.239 And Club Nicket at Clemson two, who I think is fantastic. 3492 02:36:58.600 --> 02:37:00.639 That's a good advantage team that can the whole thing. 3493 02:37:01.440 --> 02:37:03.239 And we're gonna see two of those guys week one. 3494 02:37:03.360 --> 02:37:05.600 Lsu A Clemson. We got to see not Smart versus 3495 02:37:05.879 --> 02:37:08.319 Club Nick that those might be your your two Heisman 3496 02:37:08.399 --> 02:37:11.360 favorites right there outside of arch Well when we get 3497 02:37:11.399 --> 02:37:13.600 to see what he does. But I'll tell you this Seoan. 3498 02:37:13.680 --> 02:37:16.200 I got to sit down with the DJ Lagway yesterday. 3499 02:37:16.319 --> 02:37:18.920 You know, the willis special kid. 3500 02:37:19.159 --> 02:37:22.360 Oh my God, like standing next to him, he's huge, 3501 02:37:23.000 --> 02:37:24.840 he's I mean, he is the He has the body 3502 02:37:24.840 --> 02:37:27.159 of an NFL quarterback already, and then he's got a 3503 02:37:27.200 --> 02:37:29.040 baby face to go with it. And you go, God, 3504 02:37:29.559 --> 02:37:31.360 check back in with this kid in two years and 3505 02:37:31.399 --> 02:37:33.680 tell me where he is. I mean, it's literally and 3506 02:37:33.719 --> 02:37:35.479 I goes goes back, Sean. I was talking to a 3507 02:37:35.559 --> 02:37:38.079 national guy on the on the field at the Cotton 3508 02:37:38.120 --> 02:37:41.079 Bowl as they're watching Arch Manning warm up. Guy says, 3509 02:37:41.159 --> 02:37:42.680 you know what, there's gonna be a lot of hype 3510 02:37:42.680 --> 02:37:45.239 about him for the number one NFL draft pick, obviously with. 3511 02:37:45.200 --> 02:37:45.920 The Manning name. 3512 02:37:46.200 --> 02:37:47.799 But what if I told you the twenty twenty sixth 3513 02:37:47.840 --> 02:37:51.319 draft he goes number two because DJ Lagways number one. 3514 02:37:51.399 --> 02:37:53.360 Gordy, real quick, I know we got to get rolling here. 3515 02:37:53.360 --> 02:37:55.159 But Dan and you are one hundred percent correct. A 3516 02:37:55.200 --> 02:37:57.200 couple of years ago, maybe well it was a few 3517 02:37:57.239 --> 02:37:59.280 years more than a couple. I had him when he 3518 02:37:59.319 --> 02:38:01.040 was in high school a camp. He was in my 3519 02:38:01.200 --> 02:38:03.600 group at the camp, so they gave to me because 3520 02:38:03.600 --> 02:38:06.159 I coached the high school kids, and the boss of 3521 02:38:06.200 --> 02:38:08.440 the camp said, keep it eye of this guy. They said, well, 3522 02:38:08.479 --> 02:38:10.559 tell us what you think about this guy. And I 3523 02:38:10.559 --> 02:38:11.280 didn't know him. 3524 02:38:11.280 --> 02:38:11.799 He was yelling. 3525 02:38:11.799 --> 02:38:13.680 He was like a sophomore I think, or a freshmer 3526 02:38:13.799 --> 02:38:17.399 sophomore going into his junior year, sophomore year. And I said, okay, 3527 02:38:17.440 --> 02:38:20.639 big kids didn't say much. And after about two drills, 3528 02:38:20.680 --> 02:38:23.399 I looked over and said, you wanted who the best 3529 02:38:23.399 --> 02:38:25.479 one in the group is that guy? And he'd only 3530 02:38:25.479 --> 02:38:29.559 throw like fifteen passes and it was DJ Lagway, phenomenal kid, 3531 02:38:29.799 --> 02:38:32.799 two ears in one mouth and used him accordingly, he's 3532 02:38:32.879 --> 02:38:36.040 special and he's different, and right now, just on body 3533 02:38:36.040 --> 02:38:38.680 type and performance alone, he is a top type pick 3534 02:38:38.719 --> 02:38:41.360 in this draft. He's a special kid with a special 3535 02:38:41.399 --> 02:38:42.520 skill set. 3536 02:38:42.799 --> 02:38:45.000 Well, he'll visit with us at six o'clock tonight, right 3537 02:38:45.040 --> 02:38:45.559 here on seven night. 3538 02:38:45.600 --> 02:38:46.360 You don't want to miss that. 3539 02:38:46.600 --> 02:38:49.520 Hey, Astro's back in action tomorrow night.
