WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:12.599 Saulisbury Houston. Okay, let's do this Sewn Salisbury to usc 2 00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.039 Troup's longtime friend Shawn Salisbury. 3 00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:23.800 Dan Matthew, excuse, this is the Sean Salisbury show. 4 00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.920 Two strike three call at the knees, eighty nine mile 5 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.760 an hour fastball and Capairo goes down looking a lot 6 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.000 of movement on that fastball, and there are two outs, 7 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.840 the one zero and Myers drives it in the center field, 8 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.000 racing back Capalliro on the warning track. It's off the 9 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.159 face of the wall, Carrotinia round third. He will score 10 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.719 Myers in the second with an RBI double in the 11 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:50.159 Astros with a one nothing league, Jack Myers drives in 12 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:51.600 his sixteenth runt of the year. 13 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.159 Here's the two to two ripped. 14 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.560 Left field that could go that we it's gone. 15 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.079 Barrettis does it again in eighth home run of the season. 16 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.120 Astros lead to nothing on a bullet off the bat 17 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.359 of a sad Hunters lead off second and third pitch 18 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.680 on the way and that is hit through the right 19 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.920 side of base. Hit that'll score Meisner. Caprierro coming home 20 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.959 to throw in by Smith not nearly in time, and 21 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.840 we're tied at two. Jonathan Ronda drives him in both 22 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.599 that double steel pays off for Tampa Bay. The pitch 23 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.159 and that's hit in the left Shallow McCormick backs up 24 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.079 a few steps, gets behind it makes the catch. Morel 25 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.200 tags trying to score the throw home. 26 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.239 Not nearly in time. 27 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.280 Christopher Morel scores and the Rays walk off the Astros 28 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:43.239 three to two. 29 00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.120 On the Taylor Walls Sackfly. 30 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.599 McCormick was already playing Shallow just had to back up 31 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.400 a couple of steps. Morel took off and it paid 32 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:54.319 off for the Rays. 33 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.000 Yep, that's how it goes. Last night. 34 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.439 The Astros put up too early, they are unable to 35 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.480 be able to do anything more than that, and they 36 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.719 lose it. As you just heard Robert Ford tell you 37 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.159 three to two to drop the second game of this series. 38 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.800 And with all that we say away we go here 39 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.680 on the Sean Salisbury Show, Second straight Morning, a good buddy. 40 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:25.199 KPRC two's Ari Alexander hanging out with us as the 41 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.599 Astros last night. As I mentioned, I mean, you get 42 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:32.319 a couple of runs early there, but that wasn't necessarily 43 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.560 the main storyline. I mean, let me just go ahead 44 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.080 and ask it this way, Ari, if I tell you 45 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.800 Brandon Walter yesterday five innings scoreless. What are we saying 46 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:41.439 after that game? 47 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.240 Yeah, you think that Brandon Walter helped deliver and steal 48 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.759 a win for you, because nobody is expecting Brandon Walter 49 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.199 to go out and give you five scoreless innings on 50 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.319 eighty pitches. 51 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.479 Exactly, and he goes out there. It does that. 52 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.400 But I mean, I talked about it last night on 53 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:03.520 the Tenth Inning Show. It's just I understand. There's no 54 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.159 yord On. You don't have Jiner Diaz yesterday because of 55 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.879 a scheduled day off. Jose Al Tuve does get a 56 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.000 couple of hits, but it's yet again, it's another one 57 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.360 of these day after shows where we're saying those guys 58 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.680 did not do enough, The bats did not do enough. 59 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.639 This lineup is just so inconsistent and something that's been 60 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.879 going on with the Astros for the past couple of years. 61 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.639 The haucyon days of the twenty nineteen lineup and looking 62 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.000 at that and going, oh my god, where is there 63 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.560 a break for a pitcher that's gone. They're gonna have 64 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.039 to find and pick their spots. This is a completely 65 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.960 new team. The length of this lineup can be in 66 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.840 question sometimes and they did not come up with the 67 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.039 couch hits. And there are some nights they do, and 68 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.960 there are some nights they don't. The Rays always have 69 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.319 sort of interesting relief pitching. They're one of these teams 70 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.599 and organizations like the Astros that are really good at 71 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:55.680 getting guys out of nowhere. Like nobody knows who Edwin 72 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.080 Ucette is, and he's been one of the best relievers 73 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.639 in baseball. Last year he was incredible. Well, then they 74 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.080 just find these guys out of nowhere. The Astros are 75 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.879 good at it. Two. But this is a game that 76 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.560 you could have won. And I'm not necessarily going to 77 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.240 blame the b bullpen for this, but you can hit 78 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.800 more than this against the Rays. 79 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.480 You should be able to. I mean, you mentioned it 80 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.959 that Zach Lettel goes. I mean this is also to 81 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.439 a Rays just pitching staff across the board. For as 82 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.160 good as you mentioned some of those guys are, they 83 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.920 are the textbook definition of mid They are a three 84 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.560 eight eight er at least coming into the yesterday's game. 85 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.120 They're right in the middle of the league, fifteenth in 86 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:39.680 overall team er and you can only manage six runs 87 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.800 against them in the first two games. Again, the lineup. 88 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.240 We've said it numerous times. Sometimes they do enough, and 89 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.439 nights like last night, they don't do enough. 90 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.879 A lot of the times they do just enough. And 91 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.560 that's something where there aren't that many games, especially recently. 92 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.240 Last year was a good example of this. They don't 93 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.519 break out that often. There isn't that big five, six, 94 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.120 seven run inning. It's happened recently once or twice, but 95 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.560 it doesn't happen all that much. And then you look 96 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.199 around the league at these different teams, especially in the 97 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.560 National League. There's such a difference between the National League 98 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.399 and the American League. Right now, the Yankees are good 99 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.959 most of the time, the Tigers are really good this year, 100 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.319 and then what in the American League. That's why Astros 101 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.639 fans shouldn't necessarily be panicked, because anybody can win the AL. 102 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.600 Nobody is that scary in the AL. Yeah, the Tigers 103 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.319 look pretty good. The Yankees are whatever they are. They 104 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.319 have the talent to win the American League, clearly, but 105 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.800 that's it. There's no one else that is scary. Then 106 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.000 you get to the World Series. You got the Dodgers, 107 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.040 you got the Phillies, the Mets, the Braves. You have 108 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.600 the Diamondbacks look really good, you have the Padres look 109 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.040 really good, and then randomly the Cardinals are somehow playing 110 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.680 pretty well and the Cubs are sort of decent this year. 111 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.959 So you have a number of teams where you look 112 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.600 down the league and the Diamondbacks can explode for seven runs, 113 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.920 you know, the Dodgers can explore for seven runs. 114 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.199 The Astros just don't do it enough. No, they don't. 115 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.439 And that's something that we just continuously are waiting for 116 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.680 with this team. And I mean there's individual performances too 117 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.680 that you can point to, not just this game, but 118 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.399 just overall that. Obviously we'll get into as the show 119 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.639 moves along, which by the way, to Wednesdays, that means 120 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.639 Dana Brown nine point thirty joins us, and we'll get 121 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.839 into not only the current guys that are healthy, but 122 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.680 also do wanted to try to get an update on 123 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.399 yourd on maybe even I mean, you know, pitching wise, 124 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.639 we were just talking about it. Spencer Raghetty, what's next 125 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.560 for him? Soon enough? Hopefully get forced Whitley back, in 126 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.920 which I would probably if I were going to put 127 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.560 a wager on it, have to guess that he's activated. 128 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.040 Tomorrow that I think you have him for that Mariners series, 129 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.079 and you mentioned it too. You go at the B 130 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.680 bullpen last night, Sean Dubin gives you a couple of 131 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.759 good innings, a couple of walks in there, but still 132 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.439 able to give you scoreless relief. And Steven Okert, I mean, dude, 133 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.120 I threw this out on Twitter as soon as it happened. 134 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.639 Nothing makes my blood boil than an O two count 135 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.639 and you hit a guy like nothing makes me like 136 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:10.920 more enraged than that. 137 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.959 Which Steven Okert's been incredible so far this season. He's 138 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.399 one of those guys that that's a find, right Like, 139 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.360 He's a guy that has had success in Major League Baseball. 140 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:20.759 He had a down year last year. 141 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.639 There's a reason that he was available for basically nothing 142 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.959 this offseason, and then they tweaked and figured out what 143 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.079 it is that they can do to make him effective, 144 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.360 and he's been really good to start the year. But 145 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.639 that is what happens when you are using your B bullpen. 146 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:39.079 That is what happens when half your bullpen is guys 147 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.920 that you have claimed off waivers or signed off the street. 148 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.800 There is a wide range of outcomes and sometimes that's 149 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:46.839 the outcome that a guy that's been really good all 150 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.040 year is going to have an off night. That even 151 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.079 you know, Briana brew has off nights, but you know 152 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.720 that those off nights are few and far between. With 153 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.480 Briana Bray, you range of outcomes is a little different 154 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.199 when it comes to the Steven Oaktz, the Bennett Suss's, 155 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.439 the Sean Dubins and give credit to the Astros, those 156 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.759 guys have been good most of the year. You can't 157 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.560 expect it all the time. And last night was one 158 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:09.120 of those nights. 159 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.720 No, And I mean that's the thing is for you know, 160 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.199 me dinging him there in the initial I mean it's 161 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.360 also you have to remember he's got a two point 162 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.240 oh one era, so that shows you how good he's 163 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.160 been this year. But I mean last night was definitely 164 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.680 not one of those. He hits a batter, gives up 165 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.600 a base hit, then gives up a double steal after 166 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.000 he looked the guy back to second before he took off. 167 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:32.799 It's like, if you have. 168 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.559 An idea that he's going to go, then step off, 169 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:39.720 step off. Yeah, there's It's something that's been troubling the 170 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.440 Astros all year is controlling the running game. And those 171 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.440 are just some of the little things that winning teams 172 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.960 are better at doing. And you know, we talked about 173 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.559 the lineup, but there are these small things that they 174 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.960 can do better at and relievers controlling the running game. 175 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.240 And this isn't something that's on the catchers. I mean 176 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:03.039 these catchers that they have Diaz, Victor Karattini and says 177 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:04.799 our Salas are even though he never gets in the game, 178 00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:06.279 I don't know, does just give him one at bad 179 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.879 give my guy says are a game a day. Their 180 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.440 pop times are great, they get up, they make the throw. 181 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.799 The pitchers are the ones that are struggling to control 182 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.559 the running game. And Killibort came in. You saw immediately 183 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.840 like real quick slidestep on his first pitch because Joe 184 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:21.919 Spottamus has said. 185 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.200 Something now, I mean it's and it's something that at 186 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.919 times they've been able to do a better at but 187 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.639 not only trying to keep runners from taking the extra base, 188 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.039 but also you being able to take the extra base. 189 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.840 Although jose Al Twove does steal second last night, so 190 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.600 that was nice to see. But I mean that's been 191 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.399 one of the biggest achilles heels for this team is 192 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:45.120 both of those part of the game where you're like, Okay, 193 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.919 you can't throw guys out, and then you get thrown 194 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:49.960 out trying to steal a base. Like it's almost kind 195 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.200 of to a point where it's like, just stop trying 196 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:53.159 to take an extra base. 197 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:57.200 Seriously, man, they should they should keep trying to do it. 198 00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.639 I want them to be as aggressive on the basis 199 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.000 as pos because you have some of the fastest guys 200 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.879 in the league, guys that you wouldn't even expect. Cam 201 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.879 Smith is so fast he gets on late in the 202 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.080 game and then try to steal you know, Chaz, They 203 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.120 try to have him bunt over and Chaz has got 204 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:14.960 to do a better job bunting than that. He's trying 205 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.879 to like stab at it high. I know he can 206 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:21.279 bunt better, and I've seen Chaz lay down sacrifice bunts before, 207 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.679 so I don't know why yesterday he decided to have 208 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.840 one of the worst bunting performances of his career because 209 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.879 he's a guy that can do it. But Cam can 210 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.000 run and should run more. Jeremy Payne, you can run 211 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:37.639 and should run more. And they were really aggressive really 212 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.559 early this year, like the first few weeks of the season. 213 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.159 It's like whoa Pina's got three stolen bases? Here we go, 214 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.000 We're starting to get to the thirty stolen base mark 215 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.320 for a guy that's like the eighth fastest guy in 216 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.679 the league. And then you look at Cam Smith's sprint 217 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:51.759 speed and it's like and then you asse him come 218 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.159 around third on like a single off a second, You're like, 219 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.559 whoa Cam Smith can steal some basses? And whoa Jake 220 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:01.399 Myers can steal some bases? Then do run? 221 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:02.600 I don't. 222 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.519 I get a little bit because running is hard on 223 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.960 your body. But if sho Hao Tani, who is one 224 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.840 of the most valuable assets in the sport, who is huge, 225 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.120 If you've ever stood anywhere near sho Hao Tani, he 226 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.919 is six three two twenty. He's a big, kind of 227 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:23.360 lumbering guy who looks like a monster on the baseball field. 228 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:28.159 If he can steal fifty bases, slide, put all that 229 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.320 torque trying to get off a first base and slide 230 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:32.919 and dive and do all that stuff and put all 231 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:34.120 that on his body. 232 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:34.879 So can you. 233 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.879 Yeah, I mean, and you know, I know that you're 234 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.200 a big Proponent's on the twenty twenty watch for Jeremy 235 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.240 Peney this year. I'm thinking that it's it's very much 236 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.519 in play for him, and I mean, yeah, that would 237 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:49.240 feed into it. 238 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:49.840 It should be. 239 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:52.480 I mean, he he has the ability to steal thirty 240 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.120 and there's a reason that they talked about betting him 241 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.679 a car to steal fifty this year because when you 242 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.759 are one of those fastest sprint speed guys, and I 243 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.720 know that he's been working on timing the reads off 244 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.840 the pitchers and that's where Kyle Tucker was so good, 245 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.320 because Kyle Tucker is not fast. Kyle Tucker is like 246 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.519 a twenty six point whatever sprint speed guy. So for 247 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.639 those of you at home who are not obsessive with 248 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:21.759 sprint speed, thirty is elite elite. Twenty eight is really good. 249 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.519 PAYNYA is at twenty nine point I think six this 250 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.200 year is at twenty nine point eight last year. So 251 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.919 it's the average. And then there are bolts, which is 252 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:32.399 how many times you run and it's higher than thirty 253 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.919 feet per seconds. That's what we're looking at numbers wise. 254 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.200 So if you can do thirty, you're the fastest guy 255 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.440 in the game. This is Bobby Witt that we're talking 256 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.720 about is like a thirty guy Trey Turner, those kind 257 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.039 of guys. Twenty nine is still insane, twenty eight is 258 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.039 really good, and then like twenty six twenty seven is like, 259 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.159 you're not a bad runner, and then everything below that 260 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.679 is like Martin Maldonado. Right, So Paya is like twenty 261 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.120 nine point eight. You have Cam Smith. I think it's 262 00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.759 like twenty nine to three. Myers is twenty eight something. 263 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.320 Kyle Tucker was twenty six to seven, and he's stealing 264 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.840 thirty bases, not because he's fast, but because he has 265 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.960 the ability to read every little tick that a pitcher does, 266 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.600 and he does the preparation. And that's something that Jeremy Penny, 267 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.600 I know, worked on because last year he worked on 268 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.000 it in the offseason before last year, and he didn't 269 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:19.720 feel like he was that good at it, something we'd 270 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.279 have conversations about. And then this year it felt like 271 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.519 I'm getting better at this, like I'm starting to figure 272 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.200 out reads on pictures, and early in the year it 273 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.960 looked like he was doing it, and I'm kind of 274 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.480 trying to figure out why isn't running more and why 275 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:35.480 Cam Smith? And I know, like Cam Smith's a rookie. 276 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.440 Cam Smith barely had any minor league experience very little 277 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.039 obviously major league experience. This the first six weeks of 278 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:42.679 the year. 279 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:43.639 But try it. 280 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.320 He's fast, and you can't use his size as an 281 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.639 excuse of like, oh, we don't want him awkward sliding 282 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.200 and getting hurt because he is the same size as 283 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.559 show Heo Tani and Shoeo Tani is a seven hundred 284 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.799 million dollar player who is sliding, however many times a 285 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:02.240 game because he is stealing these bases. 286 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.679 And you can't have these guys run. Cam Smith can run. 287 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.320 Yeah, you got cheat the angles as much as you 288 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.600 possibly can. And the Astros, I mean especially two, with 289 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.120 how inconsistent this lineup can be. That's something that they 290 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.360 strive to try to do. So, Yeah, they lose last 291 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.360 night three to two to the Rays. Rubber game this afternoon, 292 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.399 coming your way here on Sports Talk seven to ninety noon. 293 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.200 First pitch here on Sports Talk seven to ninety Hunter 294 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.879 Brown against Taj Bradley in that one Western Conference Finals 295 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.639 in the NBA last night goes the Thunderway over the Timberwolves. 296 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.840 Game one in the East tonight between the Knicks and 297 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:43.240 the Pacers, and the NFL allowing four players to take 298 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:47.399 part in the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympic flag football 299 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:51.559 and a Texan might factor in at least if this 300 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:55.240 one site has their way of building out that flag 301 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.480 football team. We'll get into all of that here as 302 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:01.279 the show goes along. Se T two five seven ninety 303 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.279 is the number to get in against seven one three 304 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.639 two one two five seven nine zero. But coming up 305 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:10.759 here continue the Astros conversation because it seems like Ari 306 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.320 this is now a problem that we just cannot avoid it. 307 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:16.919 When it comes to this part of the Astros will 308 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:17.399 discuss that. 309 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:17.759 Here. 310 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.200 It is Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven ninety. 311 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.360 Back to it, Ah Townen, pry On Jo, bring the joke, 312 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.720 Let's go.

It will he'll he'll 390 00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:04.720 do the right things. He'll finally distance himself away from 391 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:08.000 that wretched person and be able to have the bounce back, 392 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.519 and people will be like see still a good guy 393 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:13.160 like my buddy for example, would run into him all 394 00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.400 the time out in La said, couldn't have been nicer. 395 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.839 And the other thing is too he goes grey because 396 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:21.240 you know, obviously in the movies, yeah he's died up 397 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:22.880 for it, but he goes when you see him when 398 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:24.920 he's not working grey hair. 399 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.279 I'm waiting for the late career role where he has 400 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:29.920 like a they'll put him in like a serious Christopher 401 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.880 Nolan movie where he has a supporting role where he's 402 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:35.119 just later later in the career where he's no longer 403 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:37.480 kind of a bankable star, and then he just like 404 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.559 nails it and wins wins an Academy Award for being 405 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:42.880 you know, the like I'm thinking of Oppenheimer here, but 406 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.680 like he's like a scientist and he doesn't do like 407 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.440 the Nigerian accent he did in the Concussion movie, and 408 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.240 he just like nails his eighteen minutes on screen. 409 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:52.759 Oppenheimer. What a movie. 410 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:54.440 Which, by the way, his brother, I think his name 411 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:58.119 was Frank Oppenheimer wrote a song called the Adam Bomb, 412 00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.759 which maybe one of these days I have triple le 413 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:02.400 pull it up. But I remember the buddy of mine 414 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.359 was like you know he he has that song right, 415 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:07.799 and it's like one of those like kitchy like sixties songs. Yeah, 416 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.559 you know the ad bomb, the ad bomb, Like that's 417 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.920 the whole hook of the song. And uh, you know 418 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.079 you also realized if if you followed up Inheimer's life, 419 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:17.319 the guy was a wild boy. 420 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.720 Man, he was a little bit of a wild. 421 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:23.640 Cardppenheimer's a wild boy. That's great, dude. He was like 422 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:26.839 he was a woman. He really, he really was. 423 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:28.920 Like it's just like, not only is he building like 424 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.720 massive weapons of mass destruction, but he's also too he's 425 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.000 slaying in other ways. 426 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.640 He's James Harden of theoretical physics. That's that's pretty much 427 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:38.200 what he was. 428 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.160 But it's uh, it's me and Sean had this discussion 429 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.200 too of like what cracks me up about that is 430 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.640 when they're talking about, hey, what happens when we detonate 431 00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:48.680 this thing, and they're kind of all like, I don't know, 432 00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.880 I guess we could all go yeah, that good movie. 433 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:55.279 And uh, it's just funny to think of him in 434 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:58.920 those terms of these guys like trying to say essentially 435 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:01.920 save the world for continuing war. And then also he's 436 00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:04.440 on this like two am, like, hey, you up whatever 437 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.400 they in the forties, the version of you is, yeah, 438 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:10.119 now he was, he was throwing rocks off the window. 439 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:11.640 But to you know, kind of do that. 440 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:13.799 There were there were many different ways of trying to 441 00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:16.960 risk back then, much more than the U up text. 442 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:20.079 I mean, good for offen Iraman. Yeah, he was. 443 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.160 Multi talented, multi faceted man. 444 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.160 That's it man, he was. He was not only you know. 445 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.519 As Harry Carey, as Will Ferrell or Will Ferrell as 446 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.480 Harry Carey, you know, asked Jeff Goldbloom, would you rather 447 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:35.559 have a debilitating disease or be the best scientists in 448 00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:36.079 your field? 449 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:39.480 I think we know which one that Oppenheimer chose. Yeah, 450 00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:44.039 both of them. That's well, the debilitating disease with this 451 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:45.200 man was too horny. 452 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.960 Yeah yeah, well you know, we all have our crosses, 453 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:51.160 I guess. But anyway, a little history lesson for y'all 454 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.000 here on the Sean Salisbury Show. I do want to 455 00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:59.400 get into just a ongoing topic on this show. Christian 456 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.799 Walker is. I mean, it's it's yet again rearing its uglyhead. 457 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.319 We'll do that here. As you know, this segment, we 458 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:12.279 got wild Wild West, we got Oppenheimer and uh oh 459 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:14.640 outside Providence is what got us all going because of 460 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.119 George wentz So and and you know, as usually when 461 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:20.880 things like this happen, you know, people pass away that 462 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:23.920 had great roles on shows, memorable roles. You'll have people 463 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:27.000 who will put together the compilations on social media, and 464 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:29.880 somebody put together all of his when he walks into 465 00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:31.920 Cheers and everybody. 466 00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:32.160 Oh Norm. 467 00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:36.400 And I never realized the blonde on there would always 468 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.480 say Norman because you know, you'd have coach Ernie Pantuso. 469 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:42.519 Is there an Ernie Pantuso, that's you coach? 470 00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:43.519 You know. 471 00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:46.240 He would always be the loudest of Norm, you know, 472 00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:49.200 whenever he'd walk in. But I never realized that he 473 00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.440 had one liners whenever he'd come in, you know, didn't 474 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.920 I've seen like four episodes of Cheers. I'm more of 475 00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:59.319 a Fraser guy. Okay, Fraser dominated that wash. 476 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:01.359 I mean you could. First of all, you couldn't. I 477 00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:02.079 mean they're doing it. 478 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:03.880 I love I love when people said and I just 479 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.440 fell into this, like, oh you couldn't do that show today, 480 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.119 which you couldn't, And there's like backing this up. They 481 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.480 are and it's not going well, right, Fraser doesn't work today, 482 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.000 even though you know it's on Paramount Plus or whatever, 483 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:20.079 there's no way that people are watching it. And then 484 00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:22.599 back when they had it originally on in the nineties, 485 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:25.599 it crushed, right, It won all these these Emmy Awards, 486 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:28.559 the ratings because you know, TV was different and you 487 00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:31.559 didn't have ten thousand options. On Netflix, there's like eight 488 00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.279 shows you can watch. People watched all of that, and 489 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:37.279 so I'm a little too young for Cheers, although I've 490 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.079 seen like maybe four episodes ever, But shout out to 491 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:43.960 them for the spinoff. It was incredible, Like how many 492 00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:45.640 times I know it used to be spinoffs back in 493 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:47.839 the day, like All in the Family, and then the 494 00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:49.799 Jefferson's was a spinoff of All in the Family, and 495 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:52.559 then yeah, it didn't really work out for Joey Tribiani. Yeah, 496 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:54.359 that one didn't work. But back in the day, they 497 00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:58.200 used to do this all the time. And Fraser did great, 498 00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.400 like Young Sheldon somehow worked as a spinoff. Apparently it 499 00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:03.960 was better than Big Bang Theory. I've never seen an 500 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.319 episode of Young Sheldon, but I've heard that it, you know, 501 00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:09.200 did well and had the long run. Yeah, but yeah, 502 00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:11.000 I mean they got all these seasons out of Cheers. 503 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:13.920 It's this legendary show, and you know, you know the 504 00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:16.720 actors well enough to where we're talking about George went 505 00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.000 here and then Fraser goes on for like eleven seasons 506 00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:22.759 and wins a million Emmys, And arguably it was a 507 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.680 better show by the trophy count, for sure, And it 508 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:29.640 made the careers of Kelsey Grammer and David Hype Pierce 509 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:31.720 and John Mahoney and all these other people. Eddie the 510 00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:34.559 Dog and Eddie the de Moose, Yeah the real name 511 00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:35.799 of the dog. I don't know why I know that, 512 00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:39.359 but yeah, they I mean that used to be a 513 00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:43.279 thing where like any show did decently. They're like sitting 514 00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:45.480 in this boardroom, going, how can we spin this off? 515 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.920 How can we take the the wacky like kid character 516 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:52.799 that's been in three episodes and turn this into syndication? 517 00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:54.960 That was like all they did in these board rooms. 518 00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:55.319 See. 519 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.480 That's the funny thing is I remember so many years 520 00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:59.359 ago said they could have made a spin off after 521 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.960 Seinfeld of George Costanza said, you know that they did. 522 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:06.200 It was called Kurby your Enthusiasm. Because George Costanza was 523 00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:07.319 built off Larry David. 524 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.519 You could make a lot of spinoff Kramer, I'm surprised 525 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.160 they didn't try to do a well he canceled himself, 526 00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.559 but yeah, I'm surprised they didn't try to do that. 527 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:19.200 I'm surprised that Julia Louis Dreyfus ended up having to 528 00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.240 do The New Adventures of Old Christine, which I'm sure 529 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.519 ran for more seasons than it should have, but they didn't. 530 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:28.000 I feel like today, if there was this big of 531 00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.839 a hit as Seinfeld today, they would have tried nine 532 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:35.160 spinoffs show like Peterman's got his own spinoff.

So we'll see if we 604 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.519 agree or maybe even disagree a little bit later on, 605 00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.720 but we're talking astros right now. seOne three two, one 606 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.079 two five seven ninety the number two get in and uh, 607 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.799 you know, Ari, I've thrown this outs, and I mean 608 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.440 just as long as this continues, I will continue to 609 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.720 throw this out. Christian Walker, and I understand what the 610 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:09.920 fan reaction is at times when you bring up the 611 00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:13.319 name Christian Walker right now, Jose to Brady two point 612 00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:17.079 zero and the Astros can't figure out first base whatever 613 00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:20.359 it might be. But has a nice game on Friday night, 614 00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.000 he has to go ahead, three run homer there. That 615 00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:26.400 was nice to see. You love seeing that he's got 616 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:29.160 the RBI double on Saturday. But you are you aware 617 00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:32.200 he has not gotten a hit since that RBI double 618 00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:34.680 there in the first inning Saturday night. He's oh for 619 00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:38.559 his last fourteen he he can't be getting into stretches 620 00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.640 like this, and especially at first base, right, Like, you 621 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.119 have a fan base that is gunshye now about any 622 00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:47.920 first baseman over the age of twenty five, you know, 623 00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:50.599 right like they're Leo DiCaprio over here, like you're above 624 00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:54.880 twenty five and we're worried about you. It hasn't worked 625 00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:59.079 out at the plate so far, which is unfortunate because 626 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:02.079 because of Hooseir, Right Like, you had Yuli Guriel for 627 00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:03.640 years and years and years, and he would have his 628 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:05.160 ups and downs, but for the most part was this 629 00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:09.119 really good player. And there's a lot of fans out 630 00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:12.400 there that it's unrealistic that would be like, oh, I 631 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:14.519 couldn't have just kept Yulie. Well, they tried to make 632 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:17.000 an upgrade and it didn't work, and then obviously they 633 00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:20.319 cut ties with Jose Bray You and now these free 634 00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:23.960 agent markets at first base have been weird because either 635 00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:25.960 you go all out and you get Pete Alonzo, and 636 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:28.720 the deal that Pete Alonzo was looking for did not 637 00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:31.680 fit what the Astros do, and he didn't even get 638 00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:33.640 the deal that he was looking for, and he's obviously 639 00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:37.359 punished everyone by having a tremendous start of the year, 640 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:40.200 and he also didn't want to leave New York and 641 00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.480 there was no way that the Astros were realistically in 642 00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:45.000 on Pete Alonzo. So you go down to the next 643 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:45.599 tier of guy. 644 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.839 And the reason that Christian Walker came at the price 645 00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:51.559 he did, which twenty million over three years is not 646 00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:55.680 that bad twenty sixty million, because he was a little older, 647 00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:58.079 and so that's the trade off you get. Because Christian 648 00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:00.799 Walker was a late bloomer. He was a guy that's 649 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.319 good player at South Carolina and then it took him 650 00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:05.799 a while to be something at the major league level, 651 00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:09.119 and then he had a number of great years in Arizona, 652 00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:11.640 but it started really late in his career, and so 653 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:13.279 he's kind of making up for lost time. And then 654 00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:15.480 you signed the guy and it's like, whoa, We're getting 655 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:17.519 this guy in his mid thirties, Like what are we 656 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:23.119 doing here? And you hope that he produces immediately and 657 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:25.599 he hasn't at all, and you can tell it's wearing 658 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:27.319 on him a little bit. But the good thing is 659 00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:31.240 the defense has been solid. Last year was an absolute 660 00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:35.359 black hole at first base defensively, and if your infield 661 00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:39.119 defense is bad, there is rot that comes from that 662 00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:42.319 everywhere else on the field. And it's been much improved 663 00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:45.160 this year. Pain just having a good defensive season. Eastcock 664 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.319 Paradus has been better on defense than anyone could have expected. 665 00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:51.240 Even Dana Brown, who will talk to you later, when 666 00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:54.240 we talked to him in the offseason, his assessment of 667 00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:58.440 eastcoc Paratus at third base was, well, this guy is 668 00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.440 probably a little below average to average, and we think 669 00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:04.559 that he can be averaged to slightly above average. 670 00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:06.279 He's been above average. He's been really good. 671 00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:08.880 He has been at the top level of what you 672 00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:13.160 could want from esak Paratus. Christian Walker is doing his 673 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:17.480 job defensively. There's more scoops, there's more just casual plays 674 00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:20.559 that he makes that got a lot of them. John 675 00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:23.440 Singleton had no chance of making last year with the 676 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:27.240 month that Jose Brady was playing, no chance of making. 677 00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:29.480 And then all the backups that you use of Victor 678 00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:32.880 Kartini and Racio Dubon who are out of position, We're 679 00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:35.960 not gonna make those plays. But you can't be hitting 680 00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:40.160 below the Mendoza line as the big free agent signing 681 00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:43.119 for a team that is trying to compete for a 682 00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:47.960 pennant and it is May twenty first, and he still 683 00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:49.200 hasn't figured it out. 684 00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:50.279 It is troubling. 685 00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:52.839 I don't think he's gonna end up finishing this year 686 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:55.480 at like, oh, he's sitting two oh seven with only 687 00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:57.559 sixteen home runs, Like his end of the year numbers 688 00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:01.599 are gonna be fine, probably, but they're not going to 689 00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:04.359 be good unless he just goes on a massive tear. 690 00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:07.279 And you keep waiting for it to happen because it's 691 00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:09.839 in there, he has the ability to do it. But 692 00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:12.559 as he gets later and later, like, when is it 693 00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:14.720 going to happen? Right, it doesn't happen. What if it 694 00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:16.759 happens in August? And then by the end of the year, 695 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:19.559 you look at his numbers and It's like this is 696 00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.200 the worst full season this guy's ever had. 697 00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.000 Well, and then you got two more years of it too, 698 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:26.200 which would make people a little uneasy when it comes 699 00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:30.119 to that. But we'll continue this discussion because I mean, 700 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:32.559 I know how Joe a spot It feels a certain 701 00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:36.000 way about this topic, but I mean continue to have 702 00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:38.160 to disagree with him on that, So we'll talk about 703 00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:41.079 that here. Benjamin c you right there, and as a 704 00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:43.559 he alluded to, don't forget nine thirty This morning, Dana 705 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.039 Brown joins us for his weekly visit here on the 706 00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:49.680 Sean Salisbury Show.

One I want to talk with 721 00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:38.679 dealing uh with Cam Smith and the PPI Prospect Promotion 722 00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:46.559 Incentive stipulation that says, I, if you win Rookie of 723 00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:49.440 the Year, you'll get a first round pick, or you'll 724 00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:50.840 you'll get a draft pick at the end of the 725 00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:55.199 first round. And UH just wanted to see Dana's thoughts 726 00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:57.679 on like how much they've weighed that as far as 727 00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:01.159 to you know, potentially keep Cam up or to send 728 00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:05.880 him back down, because as I understand right now, to 729 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:09.440 qualify as a rookie, you have to have you can't 730 00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:11.360 have any more than one hundred and thirty five at 731 00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:14.159 bats in a season, and Cam's getting pretty close to 732 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:19.000 that threshold, and as well as you can't be on 733 00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.079 the major league active roster I believe for more than 734 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.920 forty five days. So I think he may have actually 735 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:29.840 crossed that unfortunately, but you know, with the way that 736 00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.079 the Rookie of the Year race is looking right now, 737 00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:34.440 I mean Cam would have to really really get going, 738 00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.719 and you know, I think it. You know, obviously he 739 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.079 has gotten hot recently. They've been kind of tinkering with 740 00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:42.840 his stance a little bit. He's been, you know, kind 741 00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.199 of trying to work some things out. But you know, 742 00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:48.679 right now, Jacob Wilson with the Athletics, and you know, 743 00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:52.119 quite a few more guys, you know, Christian Campbell with 744 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.760 the Red Sox have you know, outperformed him so far. 745 00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:57.320 So you know, especially when you got a guy like 746 00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:00.199 Shay Whitcomb, you know down triple A, who can know. 747 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:03.440 I think his best infield position at second base, counsel 748 00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:06.360 play corner outfield for you to you know, had two 749 00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:10.960 games last week with multi he had a multi home 750 00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:13.559 run game and back to back games including a walk 751 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:16.559 off home run last week. Yeah, I think he's a 752 00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:20.400 guy that we should be looking at potential to call up. 753 00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:23.239 You know, I know Cam is getting hot right now, 754 00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:28.119 but you know, it's just worth considering that PPI, especially 755 00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:30.239 to you know, try to bolster our FUM. 756 00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:30.519 Yeah. 757 00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:35.519 Yeah, No, I appreciate the call, Benjamin. I honestly, that's 758 00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:38.400 the first I've heard of that, the PPI. Yeah, as 759 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:40.800 is my wheelhouse. Oh yeah, that's why I was saying, 760 00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:44.480 that's why you're here. Uh, Cam Smith is not getting 761 00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:47.880 sent down. They're not trying to limit his at bats. 762 00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:50.440 They're not trying to limit his service time. They're not 763 00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:52.519 going to be messing around with that. And whether or 764 00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:54.880 not he wins Rookie of the Year has absolutely nothing 765 00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:57.000 to do with what cam Smith is going to be 766 00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:00.559 doing on this roster, and it's not necessarily about getting 767 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:05.119 hot recently. Cam Smith is above replacement level as a 768 00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:08.480 major league player right now on every level. He is 769 00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:13.719 above the league average at the plate, he is playing 770 00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:17.280 a really solid right field defense from a range standpoint, 771 00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:20.599 and he hasn't really thrown out runners, but he's learning 772 00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:24.079 a brand new position. So if you're a team that 773 00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:27.440 is trying to win, you're gonna put your best twenty 774 00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:30.599 six out there on the roster and in this organization, 775 00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:33.599 even though he's twenty two years old, even though he's 776 00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:36.639 played four minutes of minor league baseball, he's one of 777 00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:38.599 your best twenty six. He is one of your best 778 00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:43.639 nine hitters in that he is having a better start 779 00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:49.199 to the year on offense than Christian Walker, jord On Alvarez, 780 00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:54.039 and Jose Altuve, among others on this Astros roster, including 781 00:37:54.119 --> 00:38:00.719 Zec Dezenzo, including Chas McCormick, Jiner Diaz Smith is one 782 00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.320 of your best players right now. He is worth almost 783 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.480 a win already a war. I think he's at zero 784 00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:10.880 point nine, which would put him on pace this year 785 00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:13.880 to be like a three to four win player, which 786 00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:17.639 would be worth twenty plus million dollars in a free 787 00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:21.360 agent contract. I don't think the PPI stuff plays into 788 00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:23.920 it at all, the hope at the beginning of this 789 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:26.239 year when they put him on the roster, other than 790 00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:30.280 to some degree justifying the Kyle Tucker trade of giving 791 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:32.719 up one year of one of the best players in 792 00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:38.280 baseball for six years plus of a top prospect and 793 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:42.800 several years of paratus and several years of Wesnewsky, which 794 00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:44.559 is a whole different conversation. 795 00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.239 But to me, for the most part, like they. 796 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.079 Had the right idea, even if you're giving up that 797 00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.360 good of a player, but even if he doesn't win 798 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:54.440 Rookie of the Year, like he's one of your better players. 799 00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:57.159 He's been good at the plate, he's been good in 800 00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:00.840 the field. He's already worth a win so far this 801 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:03.719 season and has outplayed half your team. And one of 802 00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:05.760 the key reasons you mentioned why he's here is you're 803 00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:08.400 trying to win. I mean that's one of the main 804 00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:10.360 reasons you brought him up is because you feel like 805 00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:12.920 he is somebody that can help you out on pretty 806 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:15.480 much a day in and day out basis. Although I mean, 807 00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:17.960 he's gotten his off days here and there, and it's 808 00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:19.800 hard to argue with the results too, and you've given 809 00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:22.119 him a day or two off. How it's not helped 810 00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:24.880 him be able to get going again when he seems 811 00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:27.800 like he's been found out. But to your point, too, 812 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:31.320 are I mean, if you had any designs of limiting him, 813 00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:33.760 then he'd still be playing in Sugarland, or he'd be 814 00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:36.280 playing in Corpus Christie right now. He would not be 815 00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:39.559 up with the Astros. If you had any of those designs, 816 00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:41.760 you would do the post June one thing. We would 817 00:39:41.760 --> 00:39:45.599 be seeing Cam Smith after Memorial Day if those things 818 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:48.320 were the case. Yeah, And that's the conversation that maybe 819 00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:50.679 they had in spring training. But it pretty quickly became 820 00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:53.440 evident that this guy can legitimately hit in a major 821 00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:55.480 league lineup, and it's going to be a while until 822 00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:57.000 he's at the top of the lineup. It's going to 823 00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:59.440 be a while until he's expected to really deliver the 824 00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:02.079 kind of result that a top half of the lineup player. 825 00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:04.119 Should but he is twenty two. 826 00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:08.239 He was incredibly impressive enough to get himself on a 827 00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:11.599 major league roster with barely any minor league time and 828 00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:14.400 all he's done. And I know it's been quiet, and 829 00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:17.320 Jacob Wilson has been really good, and Christian Campbell has 830 00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:19.679 been good for the Red Sox, and there's some other 831 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.239 players who are going to finish ahead of him in 832 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.480 the Rookie of the Year race unless he turns it on. 833 00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:27.119 I mean, Sugano for the Orioles has been good this year. 834 00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:30.239 Kid for the White Sox, a pitcher, and Shane Smith, 835 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:33.360 like there's guys that have been playing well. But if 836 00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:38.760 you're the Astros and you have Cam Smith playing semi regularly, 837 00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:41.599 you want him to get better, which it feels like 838 00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:45.880 he has. You want him to play a passable right field, 839 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:48.480 which he more than has, and you want him to 840 00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:52.760 do enough to justify his role, which he absolutely has. 841 00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:55.320 And I don't think there is anybody in this there's 842 00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:57.320 a reason he is their top prospect or no longer 843 00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:59.840 a prospect. I think he's graduated. There's a reason that 844 00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:04.199 there is nobody else in the minor league system, even close. 845 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:08.679 There's a reason you trade for camp Smith because your 846 00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:12.320 minor league system is not strong at the top. It 847 00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:15.840 is Bryce Matthews, he was in Triple A, who if 848 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:17.840 he got called up right now, I'm not sure what 849 00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.360 role he would occupy or whether he would be able 850 00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:23.159 to hit major league pitching. It is Jacob Melton, who 851 00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:28.679 has had lingering injuries. And it's Shay Whitcomb, who is 852 00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:31.239 not really rated that highly as a prospect, And you 853 00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:33.920 don't necessarily know what position he's going to play at 854 00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:37.320 the major league level because he struggled defensively when he 855 00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:40.519 got called up and they're bouncing them around in sugar Land. 856 00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:44.719 And to Benjamin's point, second base may be his best 857 00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:48.599 position right now, because that's what they need. They need 858 00:41:48.639 --> 00:41:51.840 a second baseman if you're continuing to commit to Jsel 859 00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:54.559 two bain left and Brendan Rodgers hasn't been hitting all 860 00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:57.800 that well, although he's played good defense. That's the only 861 00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:03.480 slot you can have for appreciate wacombe, But where else? 862 00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:07.800 And what like crushing in Triple A in the Pacific 863 00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:13.400 Coast League doesn't mean a whole lot versus cam Smith 864 00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.519 is hitting above league average in Major League baseball against 865 00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:16.159 major league pitching. 866 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:20.199 Yeah, I mean, and you know, in terms of trying 867 00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:22.280 to find guys that can be consistent in this lineup, 868 00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:24.280 I mean, he as of late has been one of 869 00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:26.480 those guys you can count on it. You're hoping that 870 00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:29.239 you can continue to see that out of him. Christian Walker. 871 00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:31.840 We've touched on him a little bit, Brian, so you 872 00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:34.679 want to get in on that topic. Conversation seven one 873 00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:37.320 three two one two five seven ninety is the number two. 874 00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:40.760 Join Brian right there as the hour one is in 875 00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:44.039 the books seven o'clock hour ahead, will continue the stros 876 00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:45.000 conversation right here. 877 00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:46.480 It is Sean Salisbury show. 878 00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:49.000 You don't need a reason to go to J bar 879 00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:51.719 M Barbecue other than you like great food and great 880 00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:54.159 customer service.

Someone three two, one, two, 927 00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:23.920 five seven ninety the number two jump in and Ari. 928 00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:26.159 You know, we were talking a little bit about Christian 929 00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:29.239 Walker earlier. I know that you've got some numbers on him. 930 00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:32.840 But Baseball Reference obviously a great page where you can 931 00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:36.239 go and be able to see, you know, any types 932 00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:40.400 of stats that you want to see splits all of 933 00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:43.320 those other things. And the splits that I've been going 934 00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:46.840 back to quite a bit as of late is Christian 935 00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:50.840 Walker where he hits this year, batting third? Three times 936 00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:52.719 they've done it. And if I'm not mistaken, was it 937 00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:55.920 Friday or Saturday night that they batted him third? I 938 00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:57.920 think it was Friday night that they did, and he 939 00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:00.280 hit the three run homer, so I mean things worked 940 00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:04.760 out obviously for him. Actually, no, it was he batted 941 00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:06.519 fourth that night. I think it was the Saturday night. 942 00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:10.119 It doesn't matter. Four forty four with an OPS of 943 00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:14.000 nine eighty three hitting third this season, batting fifth this 944 00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:17.679 season three thirty three in nine games. So he's had 945 00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:20.599 thirty three at bats, eleven hits out of those, and 946 00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:25.440 over one thousand OPS this season. But then you ask yourself, well, Dan, 947 00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:27.960 with those numbers, how's he batting one ninety eight on 948 00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:31.679 the season. That's because in the one hundred and thirty 949 00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:33.840 five at bats he's had in thirty five games this year, 950 00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:37.480 hitting fourth in the cleanup spot one forty eight with 951 00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:42.440 a four to sixty OPS like that, OPS usually will 952 00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:46.119 get you sent down, not even not in the starting lineup, 953 00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:49.039 not even coming off the bench to hit. That's a oh, 954 00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:50.599 you need to go work on some things. 955 00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:54.719 Yeah, that's strange that he would just randomly be hot 956 00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:57.000 in the three spot. Five spot makes a little bit 957 00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:59.559 more sense, but struggling out of the four spot. You 958 00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:02.679 can't really move him up because one thing I noticed 959 00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:04.159 you mentioned baseball reference. 960 00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:07.079 I'm gonna one up you here. I got baseball savant 961 00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:10.239 up and Chile Darren Willman went to college with that guy. 962 00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:14.719 Yeah. His walk rate has dropped precipitously this year. It's 963 00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:17.559 down to seven percent. He was in the tens, which 964 00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:19.280 was pretty good. So last year, if you look at 965 00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:21.639 his numbers, he had a walk rate of ten percent, 966 00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:24.159 he had a strikeout rate of twenty four percent. Most 967 00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:27.719 everything was pretty good in his offensive profile. This year, 968 00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:30.639 everything is dropped off. His bat speed is still good. 969 00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:33.000 He's still barreling the ball, he's still hitting the ball hard. 970 00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:36.280 His average ax of velocity is still good, but everything 971 00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:38.880 else is down. It's not squaring up the ball. His 972 00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:42.360 strikeout rate is twenty six point six percent. In his 973 00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:45.920 peak that was like nineteen nineteen something, so his strikeout 974 00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:48.119 rate is spiked up. His walk rate is down to 975 00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:50.159 seven and so that just means he's not seeing the 976 00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:53.480 ball that well. He's not getting deeper into counts the 977 00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:56.719 way that he had previously. He is hitting the ball hard, 978 00:47:56.719 --> 00:48:00.159 he is hitting the ball at people. This isn't an ageing, 979 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:02.320 This isn't a loss of bat speed thing. This is 980 00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:06.079 an approach thing. And his approach at the plate when 981 00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:08.840 it comes to balls and strikes have just not been 982 00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:11.960 as good this year. And I don't know what the 983 00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:15.440 solution is because you can't move him up because you 984 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:17.360 want a guy to get on base. That's what Estoc 985 00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:20.239 Paratus is. Estoc Paratus in the two and three spot 986 00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:22.920 has been great because he gets on base. Jose al 987 00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:27.039 Tuovey has the cache to hit wherever he wants in 988 00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:28.679 the order, and you can figure it out and then 989 00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.639 you have jord On Alvarez. Wouldn't be the worst idea 990 00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:35.480 to me to put jord On in the fourth spot. 991 00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:38.159 Keep this setup that you have going with Paynat one 992 00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:41.000 Paratus is two, I'll two B three. Put jord On 993 00:48:41.079 --> 00:48:43.159 back at the four and then Christian Walker in the 994 00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:46.599 five spot. The problem is who's his lineup protection? Because 995 00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:48.280 right now the only guy in that bottom of the 996 00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:51.840 order is hitting consistently are as two guys as Jake 997 00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:54.760 Myers and Victor Krarrottini. So do you just continue playing 998 00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:57.880 Victor Krarrottini full time, which would take away at bats 999 00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:01.360 from behind your Diaz, Or do you move Jake Myers 1000 00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:05.599 into the sixth spot, which Jake Myers could also have 1001 00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:09.000 two three straight down games and you're trying to rely 1002 00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:11.360 on him for a lineup protection for Christian Walker's not 1003 00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:14.079 necessarily the best idea. Or you got to believe that 1004 00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:16.440 Yin or Diaz in that sixth spot is going to 1005 00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:18.639 turn it around. Or you move Paya out of the 1006 00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:21.079 one spot which has been working. There are a lot 1007 00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:25.000 of lineup construction questions, especially when the focus is getting 1008 00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:27.280 Christian Walker going well. I think there's a couple of 1009 00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:30.400 things say there. I mean, number one, with Kartini, you 1010 00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:32.599 want to try to linthen this lineup as much as possible. 1011 00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:34.920 He gives you that opportunity to do that right now, 1012 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:38.360 So I mean, I think that's one of the intentional 1013 00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:41.719 things that you're doing, is to help yourself offensively. But 1014 00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:44.880 also I think with the jiner is to try to 1015 00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:48.039 preserve how good his bat can be, so then that brings. Okay, 1016 00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:50.599 then you play Jordon in left field quite a bit more, 1017 00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:52.400 which if it were up to jord On, he'd play 1018 00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:54.920 out there almost every day because he loves playing in 1019 00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:55.360 the field. 1020 00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:56.320 As a matter of fact. 1021 00:49:56.320 --> 00:49:58.079 I mean the numbers will even show you that he 1022 00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:00.840 looks like he loves it even more the plate too. 1023 00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:02.800 I think the L two a part of it that 1024 00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:05.679 you just mentioned right there is Jordon coming back. Him 1025 00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:09.280 being in this lineup already has that intimidation factor. We 1026 00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:12.039 can't let that guy get going against us. That helps 1027 00:50:12.039 --> 00:50:15.400 Altuve get going of he starts to see better, more 1028 00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:17.920 pitches that he can handle and be able to try 1029 00:50:17.920 --> 00:50:20.559 to barrel up and become the al twove that we've 1030 00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:22.920 become accustomed to over these years. And al Tuove in 1031 00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:25.400 the three spot does that with Jordon in the four spot, 1032 00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:26.960 because I don't I don't think you can put jord 1033 00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:28.480 On back in the three spot and Al two b 1034 00:50:28.639 --> 00:50:29.079 in the four. 1035 00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:30.239 Uh. 1036 00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:34.760 Maybe you put Estac Paradis down to protect someone, but 1037 00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:37.360 I don't like that because Paradis is your best on 1038 00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:38.039 base guy. 1039 00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:40.079 I want him in the two spot right now. 1040 00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:42.119 I actually like the move that they've done to move 1041 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:44.920 Al two by to the three to put Paradis behind 1042 00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:47.800 Jeremy Paanya. That's been what Paenya in the leadoff spot's 1043 00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:50.679 been working. Paradis getting on base has been working, and 1044 00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:52.719 then you figure it out from there. And so if 1045 00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:55.000 you can get those top four once Jordon comes back, 1046 00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:57.559 I like altwove there because to have the lineup protection 1047 00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:00.519 from Jordon, and that was the ideal last year a 1048 00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:03.000 little bit with Al two Bay leading off yord on 1049 00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:04.719 your best hitter in the two spot, which obviously they 1050 00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:07.800 moved him back down to the three spot, but it works. 1051 00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:10.119 I don't know how much you need to be worried 1052 00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:14.679 about protecting Christian Walker rather than protecting Hosel Tube, because 1053 00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:18.960 if Josel Tuoba gets going, and as much of size difference, 1054 00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:21.159 like Christian Walker's a big guy, he's a first baseman 1055 00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:24.440 Al two Bays obviously Al Tuoba. Over the years, you 1056 00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:26.960 know who's got a higher ops between the two, Al 1057 00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:28.760 two b. L two b is a better hitter than 1058 00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:30.880 Christian Walker is and has been. Al two b is 1059 00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:32.800 on a Hall of Fame track. If you can get 1060 00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:35.000 him going, I think it helps the rest of the lineup. 1061 00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:38.239 Well, it's also too I mean for you know what 1062 00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:41.039 we've talked about with Walker with runners in scoring position 1063 00:51:41.119 --> 00:51:43.440 this year, that's not been good. I mean, I told 1064 00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:46.000 you where he's been in the four spot this year. 1065 00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:49.800 That's also been another struggle this season for him. I mean, 1066 00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:52.239 I just I feel like at this point it's a 1067 00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:56.079 you're running into almost the point of insanity here when 1068 00:51:56.119 --> 00:51:59.519 you continue to put him in this position. And last night, 1069 00:51:59.719 --> 00:52:02.639 you know, you've had first inning struggles all year. I 1070 00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:05.320 heard Sparky mentioned this last night. The Astros have scored 1071 00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:08.480 nine times in the first inning this year. Shohe Otani 1072 00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:12.800 all by himself has scored eleven times this season. That's 1073 00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:16.320 how that's how poor this group has been. And by 1074 00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:19.800 the way, this year, with runners in scoring position for 1075 00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:23.440 Walker won seventy eight a homer with twelve runs batted in. 1076 00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:27.280 He has struck out in the forty five at bats 1077 00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:28.679 this year twenty one times. 1078 00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:31.239 Yeah, that's not good. It's not good at all. 1079 00:52:31.519 --> 00:52:34.639 The strikeout rate thing that it matters, and they're I 1080 00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:37.719 don't know if it's people are bringing up the hitting coaches, 1081 00:52:38.199 --> 00:52:40.880 but there are guys that have spiked strikeout rates that 1082 00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:45.559 have come from other organizations. One of them coming from 1083 00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:51.679 a significantly worse organization, the worst organization, and his strikeout 1084 00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:54.679 rate has spiked. Talking about Brendan Rodgers, Brendan Rodgers is 1085 00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:56.760 striking out thirty seven percent of the time, which he 1086 00:52:56.920 --> 00:52:59.119 never did in Colorado. He's doing a bunch of good 1087 00:52:59.159 --> 00:53:03.800 things at the plate, process wise, not results wise, where 1088 00:53:03.800 --> 00:53:05.440 he's hitting the ball really hard and he's got like 1089 00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:08.519 phenomenal bat speed for a second basement, but he's striking 1090 00:53:08.559 --> 00:53:11.960 out a lot. And Christian Walker is striking out way 1091 00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:14.239 more than he did as a diamondback. 1092 00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:16.320 Things you don't like to see. 1093 00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:18.599 That's how it's been here in the early going for 1094 00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:21.039 the Astros this year, which, by the way, to a 1095 00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:24.400 programming notes, Dana Brown gonna have to push to tomorrow. 1096 00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:27.960 He is getting ready for the draft out there scouting. 1097 00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:30.199 So one thing we know about the guy of you 1098 00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:32.760 know this, he's got the scout side and still has 1099 00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:35.840 that part of himself in there. So he will join 1100 00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:38.760 us tomorrow at nine point thirty here on the Sean 1101 00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:41.719 Salisbury Show, so we'll catch up with him then.

I'm guessing you'll you'll you'll 1157 00:56:17.599 --> 00:56:20.360 get in, you know, either go into the gym, you know, 1158 00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:24.440 maybe go get some miles in at the Memorial Park trail, 1159 00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:26.480 you know, whatever that might be. I mean, you you 1160 00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:29.599 try to keep yourself in shape. You gotta look presentable 1161 00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:31.599 on TV like us radio guys, we don't have to 1162 00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:32.280 look presentable. 1163 00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:35.000 Yeah, it's it's a little different. Yeah, yeah for sure. 1164 00:56:35.199 --> 00:56:37.800 So I mean unless you're Adam and Adam and you know, 1165 00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:40.039 and then you're simulcast on TV and people get to 1166 00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:40.400 see us. 1167 00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:41.800 So you got to tighten it up a little bit. 1168 00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:46.760 So people look at working out, I feel like in 1169 00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:49.719 one of two ways. Either they really enjoy it and 1170 00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:51.920 it is a massive priority in their life and they'll 1171 00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:54.599 do it all the time, or people look at it 1172 00:56:54.639 --> 00:56:58.800 as almost like you're obligated because you want to be 1173 00:56:58.880 --> 00:57:01.159 in somewhat pass shape, you want to be able to 1174 00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:03.599 have a better quality of life, all of that, those 1175 00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:07.800 aren't the issues here. The issue is the other people. 1176 00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:10.000 Like I would say that like going to workout at 1177 00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:13.800 a place that is a crowded gym, or maybe you 1178 00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:17.079 do the class workouts CrossFit to any of the others 1179 00:57:17.079 --> 00:57:19.000 that are out there, which I do. I need to 1180 00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:22.119 do it more, but that's what I do. And it's 1181 00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:25.960 sometimes it's the people around you that it's almost like 1182 00:57:26.079 --> 00:57:28.480 air travel, you know, the airport. It's the people on 1183 00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:31.000 the planes, it's the people in the airport. Like a 1184 00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:32.800 buddy of mine has said it numerous times, and I 1185 00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:35.159 can't agree with this more that it's almost like there's 1186 00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:37.639 agency in some people's minds that once you go through 1187 00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:40.920 security then you can pretty much act whatever way you want. 1188 00:57:41.039 --> 00:57:42.559 And it's like, no, it's air travel. 1189 00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:46.119 People are have anxiety, people are angry, whatever it might be. 1190 00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:49.719 You know, just try to go about your own business 1191 00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:52.960 and let them handle themselves. So yesterday, quick story here, 1192 00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:57.360 be very fast, go to the workout, do it and 1193 00:57:57.760 --> 00:57:58.639 cardio workout. 1194 00:57:58.719 --> 00:58:00.599 All of that's fine. You know, you're able to use 1195 00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:01.880 your own machine whatever it is. 1196 00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:02.360 All of that. 1197 00:58:02.440 --> 00:58:06.960 Afterwards we do accessory work and it was I think 1198 00:58:07.039 --> 00:58:11.000 hip extensions and then GHD sit ups, but it was 1199 00:58:11.199 --> 00:58:12.559 I think it was back extensions. 1200 00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:13.159 Is the what you call it. 1201 00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:15.400 It's where it's where you flip around and you do 1202 00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:18.559 like almost kind of a reverse sit up there where 1203 00:58:19.199 --> 00:58:22.159 you're hinging forward and then you know, trying to you know, 1204 00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:24.519 help out the glutes and the hamstrings all of that. 1205 00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:27.280 So it's one of those that there's only one of 1206 00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:30.760 the ghds there, so we have to you know, split 1207 00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:34.199 it between different people. There's one guy that is on 1208 00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:39.159 it who's a very nice guy and he is very sociable, 1209 00:58:39.639 --> 00:58:42.599 and somebody that was there for the next class. They're 1210 00:58:42.639 --> 00:58:45.639 talking and it's one of those that it's like you're 1211 00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:48.679 supposed to swap out like let other people and I'm 1212 00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:51.039 standing there and it's kind of to the point too, 1213 00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:54.199 like where it's like, Okay, I'm not trying to lurk, 1214 00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:55.199 because I'm not lurking. 1215 00:58:55.199 --> 00:58:56.559 I'm off like to the side. 1216 00:58:57.119 --> 00:58:59.639 But it's like also too, like dude, have the presence 1217 00:58:59.639 --> 00:59:02.119 of mind, Like hey, maybe that guy's trying to get 1218 00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:05.800 on the machine and do this now. So then finally 1219 00:59:06.039 --> 00:59:09.599 after he's done with the conversation, I'm thinking, Okay, you know, 1220 00:59:09.639 --> 00:59:12.360 he's gonna do his work, get off, and it's fine. 1221 00:59:13.800 --> 00:59:17.760 Still stays on it and starts talking to me. And 1222 00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:19.679 it's just one of those that I didn't have the 1223 00:59:19.760 --> 00:59:22.360 heart at the time to be like, dude, I'm trying 1224 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:24.760 to get work into I'm trying to just get my 1225 00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:25.880 work done and get out of here. 1226 00:59:26.239 --> 00:59:27.119 And it's things like. 1227 00:59:27.039 --> 00:59:32.199 That that I'm just likeugh, man, like a little bit 1228 00:59:32.360 --> 00:59:35.880 of awareness of the situation here, like we're all going 1229 00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:38.760 through the struggle, we're all doing it. It's it's all 1230 00:59:38.840 --> 00:59:42.039 of those things. But this is a reason why people 1231 00:59:42.079 --> 00:59:44.519 don't work out. Yeah, I mean the crowded gym thing 1232 00:59:44.639 --> 00:59:47.440 is not fun. So I typically go to a gym 1233 00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:49.880 where there aren't a lot of people in it, not 1234 00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:52.280 that many people know about it, it's not very packed. 1235 00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:54.239 Or I'll go to the one in my apartment complex 1236 00:59:54.239 --> 00:59:56.239 where there's very few people, or I'll go to time 1237 00:59:56.280 --> 00:59:57.800 of day where there aren't I don't like to be 1238 00:59:58.239 --> 00:59:58.760 in crowds. 1239 00:59:58.800 --> 00:59:59.599 You mentioned the airport. 1240 00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:02.920 That's the and I think It's less that people don't 1241 01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:04.800 know how to act once they get through security. It's 1242 01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.519 people don't know how to act insecurity. There should be 1243 01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:11.760 two lines for like people who have been to an 1244 01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:15.960 airport before and everyone else, or like there should be 1245 01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:18.320 like a security guard that just looks at you and 1246 01:00:18.400 --> 01:00:20.800 judges how efficient you are, and if you don't look 1247 01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:23.199 like you're gonna be efficient, get to the other get 1248 01:00:23.199 --> 01:00:25.280 to the other side. Like out up in the air 1249 01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:27.559 did it perfectly at the George Clooney movie where he 1250 01:00:27.679 --> 01:00:30.880 was like, I go in the line with the traveling 1251 01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:34.199 businessmen because they pack light and they're efficient. Everyone else 1252 01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:36.519 can go in the other line. You see the strollers 1253 01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:39.840 stay away from that group out here. Nope, yeah, I like, 1254 01:00:40.639 --> 01:00:43.559 and yes, I know that there are differences in airports 1255 01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:46.119 and how they do things, like there are some that 1256 01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:47.960 you do no longer have to take your shoes off, 1257 01:00:48.079 --> 01:00:49.880 or you don't have to take out the laptop or whatever. 1258 01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:51.920 And for the most part, TSA does a great job 1259 01:00:52.360 --> 01:00:56.280 of screaming at you what your directions are, so follow 1260 01:00:56.400 --> 01:01:00.119 the directions. It is not hard like it is so 1261 01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:03.039 it was simple to be efficient at the airport, and 1262 01:01:03.400 --> 01:01:06.440 ninety five percent of the people especially I'm fine. 1263 01:01:06.199 --> 01:01:06.679 In the morning. 1264 01:01:06.679 --> 01:01:08.440 I'm going to a Texans game or whatever on a 1265 01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:11.039 Saturday morning. It's seven am. I'm not a morning person, 1266 01:01:11.760 --> 01:01:15.400 and you're just standing there in line, just being inefficient. 1267 01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:19.840 That drives me crazy. But yeah, the at the gym, yeah, 1268 01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:21.400 you gotta have the presence of mind. I would have 1269 01:01:21.440 --> 01:01:23.599 said something. I'm not a I'm more of the in 1270 01:01:23.639 --> 01:01:26.199 the curb sense of like, all right, you've been sitting 1271 01:01:26.199 --> 01:01:28.920 here chit chatting for twenty minutes, dilly dallying. 1272 01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:32.079 Yeah, get out of here. It's like, buddy, hey, let 1273 01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:33.960 me get my core work in. I mean, I could 1274 01:01:33.960 --> 01:01:35.920 probably use a little bit more core work, but it's 1275 01:01:35.960 --> 01:01:39.079 like exactly that. And then one of one of the 1276 01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:40.599 other ones is when I used to go to one 1277 01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:44.800 of these crowded gyms, is you know, it's common courtesy 1278 01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:47.519 that somebody comes up and you're doing I don't know, 1279 01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:51.480 the chest press or whatever machine right there, and then somebody, 1280 01:01:51.480 --> 01:01:52.719 you know, hey, do you mind if I work in? 1281 01:01:52.760 --> 01:01:54.480 I remember once a guy goes, oh, I got about 1282 01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:56.559 ten more minutes on this. I was like, this isn't 1283 01:01:56.559 --> 01:01:59.360 a time thing, Dudeah. You do like your reps, you 1284 01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:01.880 do your whatever amount of reps that you do for 1285 01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:04.480 whatever regiments that you do of it, and then you 1286 01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:06.760 get off the machine or in that case right there 1287 01:02:06.760 --> 01:02:09.079 where it's something that's so easy as I can just 1288 01:02:09.159 --> 01:02:11.039 pull the pen out, put it on the weight that 1289 01:02:11.079 --> 01:02:13.039 I want, and then put it back where you were, 1290 01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:14.119 and then you can. 1291 01:02:14.039 --> 01:02:14.760 Get in and work. 1292 01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:16.559 Then that's the part of it, Like there is a 1293 01:02:16.599 --> 01:02:19.840 partnership that goes into this, especially like when it's shared 1294 01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:22.679 equipment like that. And then you know the other one 1295 01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:25.599 too is people who don't put their weights back up. 1296 01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:29.039 Who's worse that don't put their weights back up? Or 1297 01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:31.760 the overly loud grunters and people who want to let 1298 01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:33.880 you know that they're working out, who after they're done 1299 01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:36.800 will then in their cut off shirt hit the mere selfie, 1300 01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:39.320 I would say, like people who don't put their weights 1301 01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:41.880 back up because like you could trip over it. 1302 01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:44.800 You have to do it. The staff has to do it. 1303 01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:48.039 Like the grunting is annoying, but it's not like really 1304 01:02:48.159 --> 01:02:53.159 directly affecting you, especially you know, I know anyone no 1305 01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:55.880 one wears doesn't wear headphones of the gym, right, Like 1306 01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:58.119 if you're listening to the gym music, you're a psychopath. 1307 01:02:58.159 --> 01:02:59.039 I don't want to hear. 1308 01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:03.480 Late Age Maroon five and roar by Katie Perry over 1309 01:03:03.519 --> 01:03:06.039 and over again, right, Like, you have your own stuff. 1310 01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:10.559 So I have my my workout music. My headphone's on 1311 01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:13.960 listening to push a T or whatever. If you're grunting 1312 01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:16.559 over there, like I'll just turn the music up. That 1313 01:03:16.599 --> 01:03:18.960 doesn't bother me as much. There was one guy I 1314 01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:21.239 remember when I was in college at Missoo. There's a 1315 01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:24.719 dude who was on the football team and then got 1316 01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:27.119 off the football team. I think there was some sort 1317 01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:30.159 of something and there was some rumors that he was 1318 01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:34.280 doing steroids and he would go to the gym to 1319 01:03:34.360 --> 01:03:37.360 do the steroids, and he I mean he was like, 1320 01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:40.199 you know, to his credit, he's putting a massive weights 1321 01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:42.880 guys like bench presdent won tens and yeah, he was 1322 01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:47.679 just gotta know that this man was once on the 1323 01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:48.440 football team. 1324 01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:51.199 Like, good for you, bro, But that doesn't bother me 1325 01:03:51.239 --> 01:03:51.639 as much. 1326 01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:54.400 As you walk in, you see the dumbbell area and 1327 01:03:54.440 --> 01:03:57.920 there's like out of order stuff bothers me. And then 1328 01:03:57.960 --> 01:04:00.639 there's random ones on the ground, like there's twenty sitting here, 1329 01:04:00.679 --> 01:04:02.480 there's a forty five sitting here. And there's two fifty 1330 01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:04.719 five sitting here, like, it's not that hard to put 1331 01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:05.280 your weights up. 1332 01:04:05.239 --> 01:04:08.280 Man, And I mean it's just again to get back 1333 01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:11.519 to the overall point of just be aware. And it's 1334 01:04:11.559 --> 01:04:14.000 on top of it too, where you know, when you 1335 01:04:14.039 --> 01:04:16.880 do these class settings like this, you will have some 1336 01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:19.400 people who they've had a day and it's kind of 1337 01:04:19.440 --> 01:04:23.039 like again getting back to like gauge the situation.

You didn't have a tough day. 1610 01:16:42.600 --> 01:16:46.840 You're a performer, right, You don't even write your own music. 1611 01:16:47.079 --> 01:16:50.079 You know, physically easy it is to write a song 1612 01:16:50.159 --> 01:16:51.520 on your phone or whatever. 1613 01:16:51.640 --> 01:16:55.079 He didn't even do that. It's the group project. Yes, 1614 01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:56.399 I mean he didn't do anything. 1615 01:16:56.439 --> 01:16:58.800 He got most of the accolades for the group projects, 1616 01:16:58.840 --> 01:17:01.479 so good for him. Hey, look, you draw a paycheck 1617 01:17:01.560 --> 01:17:05.239 doing that. I can't sit here and hate you. But uh, Adrian, Ryan, 1618 01:17:05.319 --> 01:17:07.880 we'll get you guys involved Astro's conversation. 1619 01:17:07.920 --> 01:17:08.680 You mentioned Ryan. 1620 01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:11.279 He wants to get in on this conversation, so uh, 1621 01:17:11.600 --> 01:17:14.399 I'm sure we'll enjoy chopping that up here. But it 1622 01:17:14.479 --> 01:17:18.079 is a Sean Salisbury show, a sports talk seven ninety. 1623 01:17:20.119 --> 01:17:26.239 The Jean Salisbury Show continues. Adrian, what's going on? Morning Fellas, 1624 01:17:26.399 --> 01:17:29.319 Morning Money, Morning Morning, Adrian, about it. 1625 01:17:29.359 --> 01:17:31.319 About it. That's about the nice I need to be 1626 01:17:31.439 --> 01:17:31.920 this morning. 1627 01:17:33.439 --> 01:17:37.479 It's all good. Dave still got room to work and baseball. 1628 01:17:37.600 --> 01:17:39.039 I played high school baseball. 1629 01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:42.600 Literally, we've all been told get behind the ball when 1630 01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:45.119 you throw it. When that guy was standing on third 1631 01:17:45.199 --> 01:17:47.800 yesterday and that ball was hit, he already had his 1632 01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:50.640 hand in the air. That's already a show with disrespect. 1633 01:17:51.039 --> 01:17:53.600 That means Dan got no chance of throwing me out. 1634 01:17:53.880 --> 01:17:54.279 Okay. 1635 01:17:54.600 --> 01:17:57.800 Then he comes home and slide knowing the ball is 1636 01:17:58.000 --> 01:18:00.319 five paces behind him because the ball ain't made a 1637 01:18:00.439 --> 01:18:01.039 third yet. 1638 01:18:01.199 --> 01:18:04.720 That is another sign of disrespect. Okay, Dana. 1639 01:18:05.760 --> 01:18:09.800 There's nobody in that outfield better than cam Ward any 1640 01:18:09.880 --> 01:18:12.319 kind of way. So why is he on the bench 1641 01:18:12.359 --> 01:18:15.039 all the time and his knucklehead bad news bears are 1642 01:18:15.039 --> 01:18:18.720 out there? Chas McCormick's arm is no better than a 1643 01:18:18.760 --> 01:18:21.439 little leaguer that you're waiting on to throw the ball home, 1644 01:18:21.640 --> 01:18:24.479 and you keep telling him throw it home, throw it home, 1645 01:18:24.520 --> 01:18:27.039 and he's standing there looking at you. That's basically what 1646 01:18:27.119 --> 01:18:31.920 happened yesterday, and without hater, and I bray, you are 1647 01:18:31.920 --> 01:18:35.079 you telling me this bullpen can't hold up Dana. That's 1648 01:18:35.079 --> 01:18:37.800 another problem that's on you. Okay, So I don't want 1649 01:18:37.800 --> 01:18:40.000 to hear it. Nothing about Joe. Joe ain't got nothing 1650 01:18:40.039 --> 01:18:43.239 to do with this. You provide the groceries, Joe cooks 1651 01:18:43.239 --> 01:18:45.359 the meal, okay, Joseph chef. 1652 01:18:45.960 --> 01:18:48.720 This is a classic blah blah blah. I didn't want 1653 01:18:48.720 --> 01:18:50.960 to hear about it. This team looks like trash this year. 1654 01:18:51.520 --> 01:18:53.720 You knew jord On somehow was gonna come up hurt 1655 01:18:53.720 --> 01:18:55.039 this year. What do we do? 1656 01:18:55.319 --> 01:18:57.680 Back of the base card, back of the baseball card, 1657 01:18:57.920 --> 01:19:00.680 back of the baseball card, back of the card is 1658 01:19:00.760 --> 01:19:03.079 killing us, Chaz, his arm is weak. 1659 01:19:03.439 --> 01:19:07.119 Sit his on that bench. We got weight training, We. 1660 01:19:07.119 --> 01:19:09.840 Got all these guys that we pay all this money for, 1661 01:19:10.199 --> 01:19:12.560 and these guys still look like the bad news bears. 1662 01:19:13.079 --> 01:19:13.920 This is horrible. 1663 01:19:14.319 --> 01:19:18.239 Lance mccollors will not be called Lance mccullors until he 1664 01:19:18.279 --> 01:19:21.439 does better than he does in his HV commercials. 1665 01:19:21.880 --> 01:19:23.760 Go back and look at the bread crumb when he 1666 01:19:23.840 --> 01:19:27.000 went down. He was bad. He looks like the same Lance. 1667 01:19:27.159 --> 01:19:29.279 So I don't mention his name. I called him mister. 1668 01:19:29.159 --> 01:19:31.960 AGV because he's better there than he is on the field, 1669 01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:33.720 and the rest of y'all, y'all already know what the 1670 01:19:33.760 --> 01:19:36.439 day is be terrible, Sean, I know you're listening, So 1671 01:19:36.520 --> 01:19:37.880 here you go, baby. 1672 01:19:37.600 --> 01:19:40.960 He appreciate the call a dream. I disagree about the bullpen. 1673 01:19:41.000 --> 01:19:44.600 The bullpen's been strong this year, tied with the Giants 1674 01:19:44.600 --> 01:19:47.359 going into the last night's geame with the best bullpen 1675 01:19:47.399 --> 01:19:50.079 in era in all of baseball two sixty four. And 1676 01:19:50.119 --> 01:19:52.640 I mentioned it too. Okurt had a bad night. He's 1677 01:19:52.640 --> 01:19:54.800 been good for this team. But getting to the Chaz 1678 01:19:55.399 --> 01:19:58.199 you know discussion there. This is an outfield that's devoid 1679 01:19:58.239 --> 01:20:01.720 of arms. They do not have of any plus arms 1680 01:20:01.720 --> 01:20:04.319 out there, even average arms out there that you feel 1681 01:20:04.319 --> 01:20:06.399 like a situation like that, Like as soon as that 1682 01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:08.439 ball left the bat and I saw where it was going, 1683 01:20:08.520 --> 01:20:09.640 I said, this game's over. 1684 01:20:09.720 --> 01:20:10.600 He's not throwing them out. 1685 01:20:10.760 --> 01:20:14.279 Yeah, it's a monkey's paw situation where you have side 1686 01:20:14.279 --> 01:20:17.840 note Dana brings the groceries and Joe cooks the meals 1687 01:20:17.880 --> 01:20:21.760 a bar. I love that. It's a monkey's pas situation 1688 01:20:21.840 --> 01:20:24.439 where the guys who have the arms, which is deznz 1689 01:20:24.520 --> 01:20:27.520 on Cam Smith, you are either learning that they're both 1690 01:20:27.640 --> 01:20:32.319 learning the position, or in Dezenzo's case, his range isn't good, 1691 01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:36.479 but his arm's great. Chaz, the range is phenomenal. Jake Myers, 1692 01:20:36.520 --> 01:20:39.680 the range ist phenomenal. Myers is a Gold Glove caliber 1693 01:20:40.159 --> 01:20:42.359 center fielder, but he has one of the weakest arms 1694 01:20:42.359 --> 01:20:45.439 in baseball. We know that Josel. Tuvey weak arm, we 1695 01:20:45.520 --> 01:20:48.199 know the Chas McCormick weak arm. And so the guys 1696 01:20:48.239 --> 01:20:50.520 that can track the ball, that can cover the ground, 1697 01:20:50.600 --> 01:20:52.399 that can run out there, they can't throw. And the 1698 01:20:52.439 --> 01:20:55.319 guys that can throw are not as good as going 1699 01:20:55.359 --> 01:20:57.800 out and tracking the ball. And it's just you've built 1700 01:20:57.960 --> 01:21:01.520 an imperfect team and you're gonna have to find ways 1701 01:21:01.720 --> 01:21:04.800 around your weaknesses. And that is one of the weaknesses 1702 01:21:04.880 --> 01:21:07.920 right now, is that you either have a guy that's 1703 01:21:07.920 --> 01:21:11.000 going to be able to track down balls and isn't 1704 01:21:11.000 --> 01:21:12.479 going to be able to throw a runner out in 1705 01:21:12.479 --> 01:21:14.840 that situation, or you have a guy who's probably gonna 1706 01:21:14.840 --> 01:21:16.600 be able to throw runner out in that situation, but 1707 01:21:16.680 --> 01:21:20.640 he might not be able to track down the ball. Yeah, 1708 01:21:20.680 --> 01:21:23.560 I mean, it's it's kind of as you said, I mean, 1709 01:21:23.560 --> 01:21:26.119 the chicken in the egg, the monkey. 1710 01:21:25.880 --> 01:21:27.239 Paul that the monkey's paw. 1711 01:21:27.359 --> 01:21:30.000 Yeah, when you you make a wish, but then there's 1712 01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:34.199 a sin, the unintended well it's an old like Arabic 1713 01:21:34.239 --> 01:21:37.840 folk tale, is like an unintended consequence to your wish. 1714 01:21:37.880 --> 01:21:42.199 That's a negative unintended consequence. Yeah, yeah, the monkey's paw. Okay, interesting, 1715 01:21:42.920 --> 01:21:45.319 I'll have to remember that. That's that's an interesting way 1716 01:21:45.359 --> 01:21:48.119 of looking at it. But uh now, I mean, you 1717 01:21:48.159 --> 01:21:49.439 know what you have in the outfield. 1718 01:21:49.560 --> 01:21:50.399 You know that. 1719 01:21:50.640 --> 01:21:52.680 I mean it's a massive reason, as me and you 1720 01:21:52.720 --> 01:21:55.760 talked about yesterday that jose Al Tuvey is playing as 1721 01:21:55.760 --> 01:21:58.199 many games see as out in left field because you 1722 01:21:58.319 --> 01:22:01.960 value the offense or in this case hoping it to 1723 01:22:02.479 --> 01:22:05.199 you know, increase the offense out there more than you have, 1724 01:22:05.319 --> 01:22:10.279 and that obviously hasn't necessarily lived up. But I mean, Chaz, 1725 01:22:11.720 --> 01:22:15.000 the key is with him. Everything you mentioned, the speed, 1726 01:22:15.479 --> 01:22:17.560 the range, all of that, that's all nice. 1727 01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:18.359 He's got a hit. 1728 01:22:18.640 --> 01:22:21.560 And in the case last night where you're trying to 1729 01:22:21.600 --> 01:22:24.279 regain the lead and give yourself an opportunity after you 1730 01:22:24.279 --> 01:22:26.199 get the lead off single from cam Smith there in 1731 01:22:26.239 --> 01:22:28.039 the ninth will be nice to be all laid down 1732 01:22:28.079 --> 01:22:29.960 a bunt and be able to increase your chances of 1733 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:32.279 getting in the lineup a lot more. You do things 1734 01:22:32.319 --> 01:22:35.600 like that when you haven't gotten a consistent amount of 1735 01:22:35.640 --> 01:22:38.199 at bats. That's usually a way to say you're not 1736 01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:39.399 going to get more at bats. 1737 01:22:39.680 --> 01:22:41.560 Yeah, And I think part of it too, is that 1738 01:22:41.600 --> 01:22:44.159 he's not getting the consistent at bats and so he's 1739 01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:47.399 just eager to like do something, and that's why he's 1740 01:22:47.600 --> 01:22:51.039 flailing at a strike two bunt. Most hitters that are 1741 01:22:51.119 --> 01:22:53.920 kind of comfortable in their role are laying off that 1742 01:22:54.000 --> 01:22:55.520 pitch and going all right, cool one one, I got 1743 01:22:55.560 --> 01:22:57.800 another chance to bunt. But he's kind of stabbing at 1744 01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:01.439 the ball there because he has limited opportunities to do 1745 01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:04.840 something to show that he should be playing. This is, 1746 01:23:05.439 --> 01:23:07.680 you know, first time in a while that he's playing 1747 01:23:07.680 --> 01:23:10.000 back to back games, that he's starting back to back games. 1748 01:23:10.039 --> 01:23:11.920 So I just feel like that he he wants to 1749 01:23:11.960 --> 01:23:13.439 do something, he wants to show off, like, hey, I 1750 01:23:13.479 --> 01:23:15.720 deserve this playing time. And it's a little bit of 1751 01:23:15.760 --> 01:23:18.119 that over eagerness and it backfired on him. 1752 01:23:18.199 --> 01:23:22.560 Ryan, your topic always plays. We will absolutely get you involved, Chena. 1753 01:23:22.720 --> 01:23:24.840 We also will get you involved here as we start 1754 01:23:24.840 --> 01:23:28.800 the eight o'clock Howury here It is the Seawan Salisbury Show. 1755 01:23:28.840 --> 01:23:32.399 Sports Talk seven ninety K Houston. 1756 01:23:32.359 --> 01:23:37.760 At HD two Houston, an iHeart radio station, and the 1757 01:23:37.880 --> 01:23:43.800 Rocket Sports Talk seven ninety your home for your home teams. 1758 01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:54.520 From the Parsons that match it.

That would be a good show, 1787 01:25:25.800 --> 01:25:26.880 I would say. 1788 01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:29.000 I mean he's got the ted Lasso part of it, 1789 01:25:29.079 --> 01:25:30.680 so I mean he could probably be able to parlay 1790 01:25:30.720 --> 01:25:33.560 it into that. I said though, because they did a 1791 01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:36.800 remake of Fletch and they had John Hamm as Fletched, Yeah, 1792 01:25:37.000 --> 01:25:38.960 and I was like that seems like that was Jason 1793 01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:40.199 Sidekas all the way. 1794 01:25:40.479 --> 01:25:42.640 John Ham's a good comedic actor though, which is funny 1795 01:25:42.640 --> 01:25:44.680 because like the first role everyone knows him as is 1796 01:25:44.720 --> 01:25:47.680 Don Draper, and he's this very serious and like mad 1797 01:25:47.680 --> 01:25:49.880 Men is so good, and John Hamm is so good 1798 01:25:50.239 --> 01:25:50.800 he's funny. 1799 01:25:50.840 --> 01:25:52.319 Neighbors and Friends. Good show. 1800 01:25:52.439 --> 01:25:55.319 Yeah, the Apple TV show that they have out right now, Yeah, 1801 01:25:55.399 --> 01:25:55.880 check it out. 1802 01:25:55.960 --> 01:25:59.239 I met John Hamm. He was very cool. So he 1803 01:25:59.479 --> 01:26:01.439 he went to HISO. That's right, he went to the zoo. 1804 01:26:01.479 --> 01:26:04.039 And so I was the Super Bowl in twenty twenty, 1805 01:26:04.199 --> 01:26:05.520 the year the Chiefs won their first one. 1806 01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:06.239 I dropped like. 1807 01:26:06.199 --> 01:26:09.319 A hey, John m I Z comes back all zou 1808 01:26:09.479 --> 01:26:12.239 and then nothing else happened. And I ran into him 1809 01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:14.079 at the All Star Game at twenty twenty two, and 1810 01:26:14.119 --> 01:26:15.560 he was just kind of by himself. So I went 1811 01:26:15.600 --> 01:26:17.920 over and just like chatted him up and had a 1812 01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:21.039 nice conversation and he like couldn't have been more normal. 1813 01:26:21.359 --> 01:26:22.439 That's cool. He see. 1814 01:26:22.600 --> 01:26:24.520 He seems like he's got that in him. But you know, 1815 01:26:24.520 --> 01:26:26.640 with those actor types, you just you never know. It's like, 1816 01:26:26.680 --> 01:26:29.319 I mean, they're actors, That's what That's what cracks me up. 1817 01:26:29.359 --> 01:26:31.560 It's like the Bill Burr bit that he has about 1818 01:26:31.960 --> 01:26:34.680 Brian Cranston getting a hard time for playing a quadriplegic, 1819 01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:37.560 and he's like, it's acting. That's what the whole point 1820 01:26:37.560 --> 01:26:39.840 of it is. Like, yes, he's not a quadriplegic. We 1821 01:26:39.880 --> 01:26:42.560 know he's not, but he's like people were giving him 1822 01:26:42.560 --> 01:26:45.800 a hard time about it, and it's just like, see, if. 1823 01:26:45.640 --> 01:26:47.640 He was a quadriplegic, you wouldn't be acting. 1824 01:26:47.680 --> 01:26:49.760 It's not funny to say that, right, But it's the 1825 01:26:49.800 --> 01:26:52.039 bit that Bill Burr does that that lays it out 1826 01:26:52.039 --> 01:26:54.600 and it's it's so good. But someone three two one 1827 01:26:54.640 --> 01:26:57.920 two five seven ninety got a couple of phone lines 1828 01:26:57.920 --> 01:26:59.920 open here if you want to get in on the astro. 1829 01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:02.920 Is anything we've talked about?

It's a it's a mid 1889 01:29:09.840 --> 01:29:14.720 May loss. I mean they've won games in a similar 1890 01:29:14.800 --> 01:29:17.680 fashion where it's like, oh man, how they get away 1891 01:29:17.720 --> 01:29:18.279 with doing that? 1892 01:29:19.039 --> 01:29:21.119 It's one sixty two. You have good days, you have 1893 01:29:21.199 --> 01:29:23.039 bad days. The end of the year, you hope you 1894 01:29:23.079 --> 01:29:24.960 stack up more good days than bad days. I know 1895 01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:28.760 it's like a coach cliche, but it's you can't you know. Yeah, 1896 01:29:28.760 --> 01:29:30.600 they did blow like a nine run lead, like they 1897 01:29:30.640 --> 01:29:31.600 lost a close game. 1898 01:29:31.680 --> 01:29:34.039 It happens. They're still in a decent spot. 1899 01:29:34.199 --> 01:29:37.399 It's May, like there's no reason to to freak out 1900 01:29:37.399 --> 01:29:39.520 if you want to freak out after a playoff loss 1901 01:29:39.520 --> 01:29:43.039 like twenty two, Max Schus are choking against the Padres, 1902 01:29:43.119 --> 01:29:44.000 like go for it. 1903 01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:47.279 But yeah, this is you know, they lost a game 1904 01:29:47.279 --> 01:29:47.920 in May whatever. 1905 01:29:48.239 --> 01:29:50.560 Yeah, it happens and hopefully they can get it back today. 1906 01:29:50.680 --> 01:29:53.920 So Ryan, do appreciate the kind words, and also too, 1907 01:29:54.239 --> 01:29:57.399 the project to make Ari Alexander a country music star. 1908 01:29:57.359 --> 01:29:59.159 We're gonna have We're gonna have to work on the persona. 1909 01:29:59.199 --> 01:30:00.760 We're gonna have to work on the gimmick for you 1910 01:30:00.800 --> 01:30:03.239 to be able to play into and be able to 1911 01:30:03.279 --> 01:30:05.159 get you in the character for this, I think this 1912 01:30:05.199 --> 01:30:06.680 could be a real pay. 1913 01:30:06.760 --> 01:30:10.079 Get into character. Yeah, the no guitar is not easy, man. 1914 01:30:10.239 --> 01:30:12.239 I Uh, I think we had like a class when 1915 01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:13.640 I was in sixth grade and I picked it up 1916 01:30:13.640 --> 01:30:15.840 fairly quickly. But ever since then, it just like doesn't 1917 01:30:15.880 --> 01:30:18.399 make sense to me. So you know, music is hard. 1918 01:30:18.680 --> 01:30:22.119 It is it is, so Ryan appreciate uh the offer 1919 01:30:22.159 --> 01:30:24.399 there and what you do uh in the music industry. 1920 01:30:24.439 --> 01:30:27.199 But seven one three two one two five seven ninety 1921 01:30:27.279 --> 01:30:30.279 is the number to get in let's continue Shena sugar Land. 1922 01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:32.680 It's going on Shena good morning. 1923 01:30:32.720 --> 01:30:34.279 Before I jump in here, I just want to drop 1924 01:30:34.279 --> 01:30:36.560 a quick to Ri m I z z o. 1925 01:30:36.680 --> 01:30:38.159 Uhah. 1926 01:30:38.680 --> 01:30:44.439 So, so why it's mainly cold calling in uh one 1927 01:30:44.479 --> 01:30:48.239 of the prior callers here. Try to get to everything 1928 01:30:48.279 --> 01:30:50.840 as briefly as I can. For one thing this is 1929 01:30:51.680 --> 01:30:53.800 I can't remember when the caller. It was earlier this week. 1930 01:30:53.840 --> 01:30:56.079 But when we're gonna be so high on Cam Smith, 1931 01:30:56.359 --> 01:30:59.000 let's get his name right. I heard a couple of 1932 01:30:59.039 --> 01:31:02.239 callers that you know, praising him, but can't get his 1933 01:31:02.319 --> 01:31:06.199 name right. So it's Cam Smith. Just so we know, 1934 01:31:06.840 --> 01:31:11.439 we went into this season knowing that number one, none 1935 01:31:11.520 --> 01:31:14.840 of our outfielders had strong arms. We were going to 1936 01:31:14.880 --> 01:31:15.600 get tested. 1937 01:31:15.359 --> 01:31:16.239 We were gonna get run on. 1938 01:31:16.439 --> 01:31:20.359 Nobody has particularly strong arms out there. Number two, we're 1939 01:31:20.399 --> 01:31:23.119 going in playing two thirds of our games with infielders 1940 01:31:23.600 --> 01:31:27.159 play outfielders, you know, and still learning since subtleties of 1941 01:31:27.199 --> 01:31:31.079 the game playing the ball off the wall angles to 1942 01:31:31.079 --> 01:31:31.720 get to the ball. 1943 01:31:31.880 --> 01:31:34.119 So you know, we knew that there was going to. 1944 01:31:34.159 --> 01:31:37.199 Be some issues going into the season, and right now 1945 01:31:37.680 --> 01:31:39.520 it seems to me a spot as just trying to 1946 01:31:39.560 --> 01:31:42.840 throw out to the outfield whoever's batting hot right now, 1947 01:31:43.119 --> 01:31:47.880 which makes sense. So myers is, you know, are basically 1948 01:31:47.960 --> 01:31:52.560 our main offensive production on the team, which nobody would 1949 01:31:52.600 --> 01:31:56.279 have guessed this year. McCormick played two games in a row. 1950 01:31:56.359 --> 01:31:59.119 He had, you know, some strong hits. Two days ago, 1951 01:31:59.319 --> 01:32:01.000 had one that would have been a home run I 1952 01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:05.199 think in like fifteen ballparks, and then yesterday was one 1953 01:32:05.239 --> 01:32:07.039 of the ones got a hit and got helped with 1954 01:32:07.159 --> 01:32:11.000 our offense. So when we're you know, only scoring two 1955 01:32:11.079 --> 01:32:13.920 runs a game and we've got guys like Christian Walker 1956 01:32:14.000 --> 01:32:16.520 that just aren't producing, you've got to put in the 1957 01:32:16.560 --> 01:32:21.800 outfield whoever is going to be contributing offensively to the team. 1958 01:32:22.319 --> 01:32:24.960 Number Two, getting to the points that were made or 1959 01:32:25.079 --> 01:32:29.680 tried to be made about pitching earlier. Our bullpen has 1960 01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:33.399 been nails this year. I mean, we got Whitley coming up, 1961 01:32:33.439 --> 01:32:35.800 and the question is, oh my gosh, of all these guys, 1962 01:32:35.800 --> 01:32:39.640 who are just you know, lights out, who are we 1963 01:32:40.680 --> 01:32:43.640 optioning back to Sugarland or Dfang And it's like, I 1964 01:32:43.680 --> 01:32:45.439 know a lot of guys don't even have options. I know, 1965 01:32:45.479 --> 01:32:48.600 like Dubin doesn't have options. I think Benetcelza has like 1966 01:32:48.720 --> 01:32:53.359 one option. So you know, it's not like we walked 1967 01:32:53.359 --> 01:32:55.119 a lot of guys yesterday and gave a lot of 1968 01:32:55.119 --> 01:32:58.439 free passes and they scored the hit the two run 1969 01:32:58.520 --> 01:33:01.640 RBI that tam but guy, it was because cam Smith 1970 01:33:01.760 --> 01:33:05.239 was playing deep right for that situation and with that 1971 01:33:05.319 --> 01:33:07.239 ball just you know, it took time for him to 1972 01:33:07.279 --> 01:33:10.520 get to it because he was playing deep. You know. 1973 01:33:10.600 --> 01:33:13.800 Another now, the third run they scored was just a 1974 01:33:13.840 --> 01:33:16.960 sac fly. You only score. We only scored two runs 1975 01:33:17.000 --> 01:33:20.680 in a game. That's gonna make it hard to win games. 1976 01:33:20.880 --> 01:33:23.720 So we've got to have better offensive production our pitching. 1977 01:33:24.000 --> 01:33:25.880 I don't think you can blame last night's game on 1978 01:33:25.920 --> 01:33:27.880 the pitching, even though it was late in the game 1979 01:33:27.920 --> 01:33:30.399 that they scored and came back and got it. So 1980 01:33:30.520 --> 01:33:34.239 we've got to score more than two runs. And then McCullers, 1981 01:33:34.760 --> 01:33:37.600 you know, he's still coming back. He's you know, hasn't 1982 01:33:37.600 --> 01:33:40.720 pitched since twenty twenty two. He's got to get stretched out. 1983 01:33:41.760 --> 01:33:44.359 For all those who are Hayden on McCullers, you take 1984 01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:46.399 him out of the rotation, who you going with a 1985 01:33:46.439 --> 01:33:51.039 six man rotation with Blanco Hunter fromber and then Gordon 1986 01:33:51.479 --> 01:33:56.039 Walter and Gusto. I mean, are what what are we 1987 01:33:56.079 --> 01:33:58.399 trying to do. We've got Arragetti get out. We just 1988 01:33:58.479 --> 01:34:02.399 had Lesnsky go to so you've got to give it. 1989 01:34:02.479 --> 01:34:05.319 And he's he It's not like he's been bad. He 1990 01:34:05.520 --> 01:34:09.039 had a I think fore innings with no earned runs 1991 01:34:09.039 --> 01:34:13.159 his last outing. So and when you've got Fromber and 1992 01:34:13.920 --> 01:34:17.800 Hunter Brown pitching, you know near him, you're saving the bullpen, 1993 01:34:17.920 --> 01:34:19.560 and you know you're going to have a bull use 1994 01:34:19.640 --> 01:34:22.439 to bullpen for McCullers. McCullers has never been a guy 1995 01:34:22.479 --> 01:34:25.560 that's going to have give you a nine in incomplete 1996 01:34:25.640 --> 01:34:28.399 game or even an eight inning game. His pitching style 1997 01:34:28.720 --> 01:34:33.199 just isn't that. It never has been so so yeah, 1998 01:34:33.279 --> 01:34:35.880 I just I don't know what you know, what the 1999 01:34:35.920 --> 01:34:38.680 thought process is of. You know that he doesn't deserve 2000 01:34:38.720 --> 01:34:40.640 to be in the rotation right now. 2001 01:34:41.239 --> 01:34:44.960 Got Sheena appreciate the call, I mean, to the point 2002 01:34:45.000 --> 01:34:47.640 she laid out. It's something that we talked about earlier 2003 01:34:47.680 --> 01:34:50.359 and it's something that will continue to be a storyline 2004 01:34:50.359 --> 01:34:53.000 about this team. I'm not putting last night, even though 2005 01:34:53.039 --> 01:34:57.720 you can say statistically that it was on Okre and 2006 01:34:57.880 --> 01:35:01.520 Caleb Ard, that's just an overall symptom of this team 2007 01:35:01.960 --> 01:35:04.560 is you put these guys in situations like that where 2008 01:35:04.600 --> 01:35:07.560 time and time again they've come through in those spots, 2009 01:35:07.600 --> 01:35:10.399 like even with hitting the first batter of the eighth 2010 01:35:10.439 --> 01:35:12.399 inning with an O two pitch and you give up 2011 01:35:12.399 --> 01:35:12.920 the next hit. 2012 01:35:13.359 --> 01:35:15.119 I was still believing that. 2013 01:35:15.079 --> 01:35:16.960 Steven Okert was going to find a way to be 2014 01:35:17.000 --> 01:35:18.760 able to get out of that, because he's done that 2015 01:35:19.199 --> 01:35:22.279 he I mean, aside from the Grand Slam he gave 2016 01:35:22.359 --> 01:35:25.039 up to Randy a Rose Arena to the Mariners, He's 2017 01:35:25.079 --> 01:35:28.720 been pretty nails in those spots. So again, you continue 2018 01:35:28.760 --> 01:35:29.560 to put these guys on. 2019 01:35:29.520 --> 01:35:30.079 A high wire. 2020 01:35:30.520 --> 01:35:32.840 Eventually they're going to get one bad gust to win 2021 01:35:33.000 --> 01:35:35.359 and they're gonna fall off that high wire. And that's 2022 01:35:35.399 --> 01:35:40.000 again the offense not being able to reinforce and add 2023 01:35:40.039 --> 01:35:41.960 on a couple of more runs. Because even when it 2024 01:35:42.000 --> 01:35:44.159 was too nothing last night, I was still like, that's 2025 01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:46.880 not enough. They're going to be able to put together 2026 01:35:46.920 --> 01:35:48.760 some sort of offense and be able to come back. 2027 01:35:48.640 --> 01:35:49.680 And beat you, and they did. 2028 01:35:50.199 --> 01:35:50.399 Yeah. 2029 01:35:50.439 --> 01:35:53.600 I mean, it's not easy to win these games when 2030 01:35:53.600 --> 01:35:57.079 you have such a tight way of winning everything, like 2031 01:35:57.119 --> 01:35:59.479 you can't always go out and win to nothing. You 2032 01:35:59.479 --> 01:36:02.720 gotta be able to score more runs. You're not relying 2033 01:36:02.760 --> 01:36:06.000 on your b bullpen to shut it down every time, 2034 01:36:06.560 --> 01:36:09.800 like they are playing with fire, where Steven Okert is 2035 01:36:09.920 --> 01:36:12.960 never gonna have a one twenty ERA for the whole year. 2036 01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:15.119 He's gonna have a few bad games here or there. 2037 01:36:15.359 --> 01:36:18.239 Caleb Ard has not ever had a big enough sample 2038 01:36:18.279 --> 01:36:21.359 size to even really know what he is. He's been 2039 01:36:21.399 --> 01:36:24.640 good up until yesterday, but like, we don't know what 2040 01:36:24.840 --> 01:36:27.079 it is. It's not a big enough sample size with 2041 01:36:27.119 --> 01:36:30.439 some of these guys. And Sheen was right, like there's 2042 01:36:30.560 --> 01:36:33.119 not not a lot of optionality with this team, and 2043 01:36:33.159 --> 01:36:35.279 so you kind of have who you have, Otherwise you 2044 01:36:35.359 --> 01:36:38.199 lose these guys. If the Astros ever were to option 2045 01:36:39.199 --> 01:36:41.560 Forced Whitley and put him on waivers, he's gonna get 2046 01:36:41.560 --> 01:36:45.000 claimed immediately. No, yeah, someone's gonna claim Sean Dubin once 2047 01:36:45.359 --> 01:36:48.359 if Sean Dubin gets ever gets optioned and gets put 2048 01:36:48.399 --> 01:36:51.199 on waivers. Like, they have guys that are useful, and 2049 01:36:51.560 --> 01:36:54.319 yesterday is just one of those situations where the offense 2050 01:36:54.319 --> 01:36:56.600 needs to cover you. You don't have a bray You, you 2051 01:36:56.640 --> 01:36:59.840 don't have Brian King, you don't have Josh hater. So 2052 01:37:00.119 --> 01:37:03.960 give Steven Okert, Sean dub and Caleb Boord these guys 2053 01:37:03.960 --> 01:37:05.960 that don't have them necessarily a big enough sample size 2054 01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:07.920 to be able to prove that like they're gonna shut 2055 01:37:07.960 --> 01:37:08.319 it down. 2056 01:37:08.600 --> 01:37:10.399 Give them a little bit more than two runs. 2057 01:37:10.920 --> 01:37:13.479 Yep, definitely would be nice to be able to help 2058 01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:16.199 those guys out, especially with how much they've helped you 2059 01:37:16.359 --> 01:37:18.960 out this season. Because you're gonna give the benefit of 2060 01:37:19.000 --> 01:37:21.279 the doubt. I'm definitely gonna give it to these pitchers 2061 01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:23.159 for how they perform this year, because your two games 2062 01:37:23.199 --> 01:37:25.359 above five hundred, because of how well that group has 2063 01:37:25.640 --> 01:37:29.800 done this season. Brandon Jason, Johnny, see you guys right there. 2064 01:37:29.840 --> 01:37:32.119 We'll get you guys involved in the conversation. Do you 2065 01:37:32.199 --> 01:37:33.920 want to dive a little bit more into the Astros 2066 01:37:33.960 --> 01:37:37.359 pitching here? Who is to think for the good pitching 2067 01:37:37.359 --> 01:37:40.119 this year? We'll talk about that here. Sean Salisbury Show 2068 01:37:40.159 --> 01:37:44.920 continues here on a Western Wednesday, Sports Talk seven ninety. 2069 01:37:45.399 --> 01:37:47.439 The Sewn Salisbury Show continues. 2070 01:37:47.640 --> 01:37:49.760 And now you. 2071 01:37:49.880 --> 01:37:54.760 Know, there's a kid I went to college with who 2072 01:37:54.800 --> 01:37:57.960 became a country singer and it was out of nowhere, 2073 01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:00.800 like he was in broadcast journalism, and I don't want 2074 01:38:00.800 --> 01:38:03.680 to give away too much information for anyone to figure 2075 01:38:03.720 --> 01:38:06.239 out who it is. But his mom was a professional 2076 01:38:07.279 --> 01:38:11.640 some sort of singer, I think in Christian something out there, 2077 01:38:11.720 --> 01:38:14.239 one of the Christian genres, and so like she was 2078 01:38:14.239 --> 01:38:18.680 a pro. She had sold, however, many albums and she decided, 2079 01:38:18.720 --> 01:38:20.560 I guess, like he should try to get into it. 2080 01:38:20.640 --> 01:38:22.039 So I think he can play a little bit of guitar, 2081 01:38:22.079 --> 01:38:23.880 and he's got a really like good deep voice, so 2082 01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:25.920 he definitely has the voice for it. He can actually 2083 01:38:26.239 --> 01:38:30.359 technically sing, okay. I think she wrote most of his 2084 01:38:30.560 --> 01:38:33.279 songs and it was they weren't it was bad so 2085 01:38:33.520 --> 01:38:36.399 and then he did a cover of a famous song. 2086 01:38:37.039 --> 01:38:39.760 It'll easily be found if I say who what song 2087 01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:41.840 it was, But I don't think it worked out. But 2088 01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:43.760 he like toured and did like different like small town 2089 01:38:43.880 --> 01:38:46.319 like country radio and kind of tried to give it 2090 01:38:46.319 --> 01:38:47.960 a go. And I have no idea what he's doing now, 2091 01:38:48.239 --> 01:38:49.640 but hey, he tried to give it a go, and 2092 01:38:49.680 --> 01:38:51.560 it was it was interesting. 2093 01:38:51.760 --> 01:38:53.560 That's always the fun part too of you know, you 2094 01:38:53.640 --> 01:38:57.399 go on lower broad right there in Nashville and then 2095 01:38:57.439 --> 01:39:00.000 it's you know, somebody doing you know, the live music, 2096 01:39:00.159 --> 01:39:04.439 like what was it. I forget it was her name, 2097 01:39:04.520 --> 01:39:07.840 the Hunter Girl. We were at the Jason Al Dean Bar, 2098 01:39:08.000 --> 01:39:10.159 and I just remember, like, you know, she's up there singing, 2099 01:39:10.199 --> 01:39:12.319 and I'm like, hm, that's kind of interesting, I guess, 2100 01:39:12.359 --> 01:39:14.600 kind of playing into the character. And then soon enough, 2101 01:39:14.640 --> 01:39:16.399 about a year later, I turn on the voice and 2102 01:39:16.439 --> 01:39:17.680 she's on the voice and I was. 2103 01:39:17.640 --> 01:39:19.960 Like, oh, wow, okay, there you go. 2104 01:39:20.159 --> 01:39:22.880 So and it's also too like in Nashville, Oh yeah, 2105 01:39:22.920 --> 01:39:25.560 you know, he's part of the music industry. She's part 2106 01:39:25.560 --> 01:39:27.800 of the music industry. It's like, okay, I get it. 2107 01:39:27.840 --> 01:39:29.760 Everybody's part of the music industry in this town. 2108 01:39:29.800 --> 01:39:31.720 We know they're sitting in a corner of a room 2109 01:39:31.800 --> 01:39:34.880 writing two of the words to some terrible Luke Bryan song. 2110 01:39:35.079 --> 01:39:37.119 That's what part of the music industry. Hey guys, what 2111 01:39:37.119 --> 01:39:40.319 are you'all working on? Luke wants us to put something 2112 01:39:40.319 --> 01:39:44.840 that rhymes beer. Put a beer, give me a thesaurus. 2113 01:39:44.920 --> 01:39:48.000 I got to hide something. Put a beer in my hand. 2114 01:39:48.439 --> 01:39:50.640 Oh and you guys are drinking beer. Look you're already 2115 01:39:50.640 --> 01:39:51.920 in character. Good for you. 2116 01:39:52.399 --> 01:39:56.359 But the Astros lose last night three two to the 2117 01:39:56.680 --> 01:39:59.199 rais rubber game of the series. This afternoon coming up 2118 01:39:59.319 --> 01:40:02.359 un He beat the Timberwolves Game one at NBA Western 2119 01:40:02.359 --> 01:40:06.039 Conference Finals last night. Eastern Conference goes tonight game one 2120 01:40:06.079 --> 01:40:09.119 there in New York between the Knicks and the Pacers. 2121 01:40:09.119 --> 01:40:12.399 Seven one, three two five, seven ninety is the number two. 2122 01:40:12.680 --> 01:40:15.800 Get in. Johnny on the north side wants to weigh in. Johnny, 2123 01:40:15.840 --> 01:40:16.279 good morning. 2124 01:40:17.920 --> 01:40:20.479 Yeah, Hey, thanks guys. You know that lady said a 2125 01:40:20.479 --> 01:40:23.520 lot that she never mentioned Pareas is being basically a 2126 01:40:23.560 --> 01:40:26.079 god send to this team for what he's done offensively, 2127 01:40:26.159 --> 01:40:28.680 So that was kind of odd that she would mention 2128 01:40:28.840 --> 01:40:31.439 virtually every other player on the team other than parreta 2129 01:40:31.520 --> 01:40:34.359 Is and what he's done. But that being said, I 2130 01:40:34.399 --> 01:40:38.920 was calling about Altuve hurd a statistic yesterday that he's 2131 01:40:39.039 --> 01:40:42.359 number six in the league hidden into double plays and 2132 01:40:42.399 --> 01:40:45.359 he's really impacting the rallies on the top of the 2133 01:40:45.399 --> 01:40:49.079 lineup now batting third, and then was doing that at 2134 01:40:49.079 --> 01:40:51.640 the number one spot whenever the back of the lineup 2135 01:40:51.720 --> 01:40:54.720 was rallying. So he's killing rallies. He really needs to 2136 01:40:54.720 --> 01:40:57.680 be batting, you know, maybe six or seventh if he's 2137 01:40:57.720 --> 01:41:00.000 gonna be hitting like that, because we can't just count 2138 01:41:00.079 --> 01:41:02.239 on him to hit the home runs because he's just 2139 01:41:02.239 --> 01:41:03.960 not doing it at a pace he was before when 2140 01:41:03.960 --> 01:41:07.000 he was younger, and he's really not coming through with 2141 01:41:07.159 --> 01:41:11.239 you know, your typical small ball base hit double, you know, 2142 01:41:11.359 --> 01:41:16.039 or double. So that's really what's killing our rallies. That's 2143 01:41:16.079 --> 01:41:18.159 all I had about that, But I just wanted to 2144 01:41:18.199 --> 01:41:18.960 get your opinion. 2145 01:41:19.560 --> 01:41:20.520 I appreciate the call. 2146 01:41:20.600 --> 01:41:23.720 I mean, with the L two a stuff, jose Al 2147 01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:25.800 two is going to get every single opportunity to be 2148 01:41:25.800 --> 01:41:27.439 able to work his way out of this. And at 2149 01:41:27.439 --> 01:41:29.319 the top of the order. I mean, it's just it's 2150 01:41:29.359 --> 01:41:31.319 it's a conversation, it's not even worth having. 2151 01:41:31.640 --> 01:41:32.760 Yeah, I mean, jose. 2152 01:41:32.560 --> 01:41:36.680 Al tuo By has gained enough trust from everybody in 2153 01:41:36.760 --> 01:41:39.079 baseball and not just the Astros, to be able to 2154 01:41:39.119 --> 01:41:41.119 work out of whatever it is that he needs to 2155 01:41:41.159 --> 01:41:41.800 work out of. 2156 01:41:42.039 --> 01:41:43.920 Uh, he's not getting moved down of the order. 2157 01:41:44.000 --> 01:41:46.119 And I mean and with Peretis, I mean, look, you know, 2158 01:41:46.199 --> 01:41:48.239 Sina laid out a lot of points. I'm not going 2159 01:41:48.279 --> 01:41:50.960 to put this on Shena. He has been a godsend 2160 01:41:51.039 --> 01:41:53.199 for this team. He's i mean, the lineup the way 2161 01:41:53.199 --> 01:41:54.840 it is right now, you don't have him in this 2162 01:41:54.920 --> 01:41:57.760 lineup and much less jord On and then last night 2163 01:41:57.760 --> 01:42:00.600 you don't have yianor Diaz, I mean, number one, you 2164 01:42:00.840 --> 01:42:03.479 probably don't score another run because he gave you one 2165 01:42:03.479 --> 01:42:06.000 of the two runs you had. And for what you 2166 01:42:06.079 --> 01:42:09.279 laid out too, I mean not only offensively, he's played 2167 01:42:09.319 --> 01:42:10.920 plus defense over at third base. 2168 01:42:11.079 --> 01:42:12.760 Yeah, he's been one of the better players, if not 2169 01:42:12.880 --> 01:42:14.880 him and Peigna, essentially the best players in the team. 2170 01:42:14.880 --> 01:42:17.199 And Jake Myers I have been carrying the team on 2171 01:42:17.239 --> 01:42:20.479 the offensive end. He's played way better defensively on third 2172 01:42:20.479 --> 01:42:22.800 base than anyone I would say, even Dana Brown expected 2173 01:42:22.880 --> 01:42:26.600 him to play. And he's doing what they brought him 2174 01:42:26.640 --> 01:42:30.800 in to do. He's doing what this team coveted him for, 2175 01:42:30.880 --> 01:42:34.199 which is he hits pull side home runs. He plays 2176 01:42:34.319 --> 01:42:37.439 enough defense to get you across on that, and he 2177 01:42:37.600 --> 01:42:40.880 draws long at bats and he gets on base. And 2178 01:42:40.920 --> 01:42:46.039 so the Kyle Tucker trade in that sense has worked 2179 01:42:46.039 --> 01:42:48.079 out the way you wanted to. Cam Smith is the 2180 01:42:48.079 --> 01:42:51.279 real deal, or will be eventually. He's still hitting a 2181 01:42:51.279 --> 01:42:54.560 bubbly average right now. East Soak Paratus is exactly what 2182 01:42:54.600 --> 01:42:57.159 you believed East Soak Paratus would be. And then they 2183 01:42:57.279 --> 01:43:00.279 threw in a pitcher who was doing solid, but before 2184 01:43:00.359 --> 01:43:03.319 he had to have Tommy Johnson surgery and go down. 2185 01:43:03.359 --> 01:43:06.359 But you still have a ton of team control with Lozneski, 2186 01:43:06.479 --> 01:43:08.359 and you have a ton of team control with Paradis. 2187 01:43:08.399 --> 01:43:11.319 You have a ton of team control with Cam Smith. 2188 01:43:11.600 --> 01:43:13.319 And Kyle Tucker is going to play one year for 2189 01:43:13.319 --> 01:43:15.399 the Chicago Cubs and then he is going to get 2190 01:43:15.439 --> 01:43:17.680 four to five hundred million dollars, which you're not going 2191 01:43:17.760 --> 01:43:18.399 to be able to afford. 2192 01:43:18.479 --> 01:43:20.359 Yeah, he'll go to the Dodgers and get it all deferred, 2193 01:43:20.399 --> 01:43:22.760 and then you know they'll have yet another All Star 2194 01:43:22.840 --> 01:43:24.600 on their team in the outfield. 2195 01:43:24.680 --> 01:43:28.399 But the problem is they're pitching. Been a little suspect 2196 01:43:28.439 --> 01:43:30.439 over there right now, But that's their problem. And they 2197 01:43:30.439 --> 01:43:33.239 go through twenty five pitchers because they're all injured. Their 2198 01:43:33.279 --> 01:43:36.239 injurial list is scarier than the Astros pitching injury list. 2199 01:43:36.399 --> 01:43:37.359 Yeah, definitely is. 2200 01:43:37.399 --> 01:43:38.520 But I don't think we're gonna have a lot of 2201 01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:41.640 people feeling sorry for them around these parts. Jason Brandon, 2202 01:43:41.720 --> 01:43:43.760 see you guys right there. We'll get you guys involved. Also, 2203 01:43:43.800 --> 01:43:46.640 do want to get into that Astros pitching discussion. 2204 01:43:46.840 --> 01:43:47.520 We'll do that here. 2205 01:43:47.560 --> 01:43:51.199 It is the Sean Salisbury show, He's our Alexander, Dan Matthews, Tripley, 2206 01:43:51.199 --> 01:43:56.800 Emanuel Elmore. Sports Talk seven to ninety The Sewn Salisbury 2207 01:43:56.840 --> 01:44:01.840 Show continued, Can you imagine that too? And you know, 2208 01:44:01.920 --> 01:44:03.600 Jason Brandon will get to you guys here in just 2209 01:44:03.640 --> 01:44:05.239 a second, but can you imagine that we go out 2210 01:44:05.279 --> 01:44:08.359 the training camp and the player that I'm gonna mention 2211 01:44:08.640 --> 01:44:10.800 is not there, and you know we're talking with them 2212 01:44:10.880 --> 01:44:13.239 O tas all of that. Oh the Olympics. Oh, how 2213 01:44:13.239 --> 01:44:16.079 cool is that? Oh, the the Olympics. That's gonna be great. 2214 01:44:16.079 --> 01:44:19.600 And it's gonna be every single media availability that that 2215 01:44:19.640 --> 01:44:21.319 player is in front of the podium that you're gonna 2216 01:44:21.319 --> 01:44:23.119 have somebody who wasn't there at the time before when 2217 01:44:23.119 --> 01:44:25.600 they answered it, and they're gonna be asked about it again. Well, 2218 01:44:25.720 --> 01:44:27.640 funny enough if that player is gonna be the guy 2219 01:44:27.640 --> 01:44:30.960 who's gonna say three words about it and be like, yeah, 2220 01:44:30.960 --> 01:44:32.960 it's cool, that'll be the answer, and that'll be the 2221 01:44:32.960 --> 01:44:33.520 whole answer. 2222 01:44:34.000 --> 01:44:37.359 Yeah, No, it's I'm looking forward to Yeah, yeah, yeah'd 2223 01:44:37.359 --> 01:44:39.399 be cool. You know I'm representiting my country. Yeah yeah, 2224 01:44:39.439 --> 01:44:41.760 that'll that'll be awesome. So the Olympics are cool, though, 2225 01:44:41.800 --> 01:44:44.680 Like this is this is cool. Like it's you know, 2226 01:44:44.720 --> 01:44:47.079 Scottie Scheffler winning a gold medal and a golf and 2227 01:44:47.159 --> 01:44:51.359 they added golf recent years. Uh, flag football. I think 2228 01:44:51.359 --> 01:44:54.760 it's a good idea to show off the world football. 2229 01:44:54.840 --> 01:44:57.319 I know, like there is football around the world, but 2230 01:44:57.520 --> 01:45:00.279 like sort of right, like you travel all these different 2231 01:45:00.279 --> 01:45:02.159 countries in Europe and other places. 2232 01:45:01.800 --> 01:45:02.560 Like they don't care. 2233 01:45:03.039 --> 01:45:06.199 I've been to Egypt and there's soccer jerseys of Mohammed 2234 01:45:06.239 --> 01:45:10.720 Salat everywhere. They they have no idea who Patrick Mahomes is. 2235 01:45:11.279 --> 01:45:13.960 And but those people watch the Olympics. They have a 2236 01:45:14.000 --> 01:45:16.600 better chance of knowing who Simone Biles is than knowing 2237 01:45:16.600 --> 01:45:19.960 who Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady or whatever. H And 2238 01:45:20.000 --> 01:45:22.880 you get to show the world football. I think it's 2239 01:45:23.000 --> 01:45:25.960 it's great. I love the Olympics. Yeah, I do too. 2240 01:45:26.479 --> 01:45:28.760 It's it's one of my favorites every single year. Summer 2241 01:45:28.800 --> 01:45:31.079 over winter for sure.

And you know, of course, you know, more 2243 01:45:33.880 --> 01:45:37.239 summer athletes from this area as opposed to winter athletes 2244 01:45:37.279 --> 01:45:39.079 that are from here. So I mean that's that's part 2245 01:45:39.079 --> 01:45:40.439 of it too. Don't sleep on winter though. 2246 01:45:40.439 --> 01:45:45.439 Man, let's figure skaters figure skating, speed skating, hockey.

They can open for me when 2330 01:49:36.640 --> 01:49:38.399 I'm a country singer. There you go, there you go. 2331 01:49:38.640 --> 01:49:40.800 We're setting up the bill already. I like it. I 2332 01:49:40.920 --> 01:49:41.800 like it again. 2333 01:49:41.880 --> 01:49:44.840 Seven one three two one two five seven ninety Jason 2334 01:49:44.880 --> 01:49:45.920 and Katie wants the way in. 2335 01:49:46.000 --> 01:49:46.840 Jason, what's going on? 2336 01:49:48.119 --> 01:49:49.079 Hey guys, good morning. 2337 01:49:49.119 --> 01:49:49.760 A couple of takes. 2338 01:49:49.800 --> 01:49:51.199 I didn't know it was gonna have to follow the 2339 01:49:51.359 --> 01:49:54.840 legend Brando, but it's a couple of takes and I'll 2340 01:49:54.840 --> 01:49:58.479 hang up and listen to the caller two callers ago 2341 01:49:58.520 --> 01:50:00.720 talking about two Bay going to the sick So just stop, 2342 01:50:01.000 --> 01:50:03.560 you know, just stop. It's don't be a little funk 2343 01:50:03.640 --> 01:50:06.359 right now. I think he'd be good for having a 2344 01:50:06.439 --> 01:50:09.560 day off today, a day game, especially on a getaway day, 2345 01:50:09.600 --> 01:50:11.680 and Hunter Brown going so I think du Bond playing 2346 01:50:11.720 --> 01:50:13.279 second wouldn't be the worst thing today. 2347 01:50:14.079 --> 01:50:14.880 A couple of things. 2348 01:50:15.520 --> 01:50:18.600 Alex c in tron is he in the hot seat? 2349 01:50:18.720 --> 01:50:20.600 Is he not? I know the offense has been scuffling, 2350 01:50:20.640 --> 01:50:23.279 and it hasn't been really just this year. We've gone 2351 01:50:23.319 --> 01:50:26.199 on for a while. And another thing lastly before I 2352 01:50:26.239 --> 01:50:28.319 hang him and listen the run. 2353 01:50:28.800 --> 01:50:29.760 I don't know if the run's over. 2354 01:50:29.800 --> 01:50:30.800 I feel like it is. 2355 01:50:31.520 --> 01:50:33.399 I'm kind of, you know, at peace with it. We've 2356 01:50:33.399 --> 01:50:35.079 had a damn good run. I don't know if it'll 2357 01:50:35.119 --> 01:50:37.560 happen again in my lifetime. I don't think it's Joe 2358 01:50:37.600 --> 01:50:39.439 a spot up for it. I don't think it's Dana. 2359 01:50:39.239 --> 01:50:42.319 Brown for it. A guy in charge man. 2360 01:50:42.279 --> 01:50:44.359 Jim Crane. You know you don't want to pay the 2361 01:50:44.359 --> 01:50:46.399 guys that are in front of you. You don't want 2362 01:50:46.399 --> 01:50:48.239 to pay the breaks of the breakmans of the world 2363 01:50:48.279 --> 01:50:50.680 and and the Springers of the world, which is okay 2364 01:50:50.680 --> 01:50:53.520 because we had Tucker, but then Tucker and then those guys, 2365 01:50:53.560 --> 01:50:56.199 you know, those homegrown the homegrown talent. We can't go 2366 01:50:56.279 --> 01:51:00.119 out and keep signing aging first baseman to a small 2367 01:51:00.159 --> 01:51:02.399 contracts and think that's. 2368 01:51:01.720 --> 01:51:02.319 Gonna hold over. 2369 01:51:02.359 --> 01:51:03.920 You know, we're not gonna be able to keep up 2370 01:51:03.960 --> 01:51:05.880 with all these teams if we do not spend money. 2371 01:51:06.319 --> 01:51:08.319 And he's got to get off his little I don't 2372 01:51:08.319 --> 01:51:11.119 want to give over five year contracts away and over 2373 01:51:11.600 --> 01:51:13.199 X amount of dollars away because that's not going to 2374 01:51:13.279 --> 01:51:14.279 keep up with today's baseball. 2375 01:51:14.319 --> 01:51:17.359 Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Carl Jason. I mean the 2376 01:51:17.479 --> 01:51:22.279 run as we've had it from twenty seventeen until I 2377 01:51:22.279 --> 01:51:25.439 would say twenty twenty three was really when you could 2378 01:51:25.439 --> 01:51:27.479 point to that because fifteen you make the playoffs. You 2379 01:51:27.520 --> 01:51:29.800 miss it in sixteen, but you still knew, like, all right, 2380 01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:31.000 enough of the guys are here. 2381 01:51:31.119 --> 01:51:33.359 We know that this thing can be special. And it 2382 01:51:33.399 --> 01:51:33.840 has been. 2383 01:51:34.079 --> 01:51:37.039 I mean, you know that's that's there, but it's also 2384 01:51:37.079 --> 01:51:39.520 too I mean, look at runs all throughout you know 2385 01:51:39.600 --> 01:51:41.840 the course of sports. I mean the Yankees of the 2386 01:51:41.920 --> 01:51:44.680 late nineties, I mean they've been still trying to get 2387 01:51:44.680 --> 01:51:47.039 back to that point. Even after winning the World Series 2388 01:51:47.079 --> 01:51:49.760 in two thousand and nine, the Red Sox, even with 2389 01:51:49.800 --> 01:51:53.199 their World Series wins, they've you know, not been able 2390 01:51:53.239 --> 01:51:55.159 to have the replicated success that. 2391 01:51:55.159 --> 01:51:57.840 The Astros have had. I just think it's gonna look different. 2392 01:51:57.960 --> 01:52:00.359 I mean, I think that probably yes here in the 2393 01:52:00.399 --> 01:52:03.119 next few years, you're going to have missed playoffs. You're 2394 01:52:03.159 --> 01:52:06.880 going to have where another team wins the division and 2395 01:52:07.199 --> 01:52:08.920 you might have to fight for a wild card and 2396 01:52:08.960 --> 01:52:11.439 again miss playoffs because you don't get in at that 2397 01:52:11.479 --> 01:52:12.119 spot either. 2398 01:52:12.399 --> 01:52:15.319 It's not going to be easy to replicate, you know, 2399 01:52:15.520 --> 01:52:19.119 seven years of straight alcs's. It's the only team that 2400 01:52:19.159 --> 01:52:22.000 has been that successful for that long is the Dodgers, 2401 01:52:22.479 --> 01:52:27.399 and they had tons of early playoff exits that Dodgers 2402 01:52:27.439 --> 01:52:30.479 fans were not happy about. They also have unlimited money, 2403 01:52:31.159 --> 01:52:34.399 and look at the Mets right now, have unlimited money 2404 01:52:34.920 --> 01:52:37.920 and it's been limited playoff success since Steve Cohen took over. 2405 01:52:38.039 --> 01:52:39.560 He said when he took over, I want to win 2406 01:52:39.600 --> 01:52:41.359 a World Series in three to five years. Well, I 2407 01:52:41.399 --> 01:52:44.119 think we're on year four or five here and it's 2408 01:52:44.199 --> 01:52:50.000 been early playoff exit, bad year, surprisingly good playoff run 2409 01:52:50.079 --> 01:52:53.399 to the NLCS and then this year they're expected to 2410 01:52:53.479 --> 01:52:56.439 be good, but it does still feel like they're building 2411 01:52:56.479 --> 01:52:59.600 and clearly not favored to win the National League. Because 2412 01:52:59.640 --> 01:53:02.039 the Dodge are favorite to win the National League, the 2413 01:53:02.079 --> 01:53:04.279 Astros still have a chance, like you can call the 2414 01:53:04.319 --> 01:53:07.560 Golden Era over. But at the same time, there's not 2415 01:53:07.720 --> 01:53:10.000 that much stopping them from having as good of a 2416 01:53:10.119 --> 01:53:13.199 chance as anyone to win the American League. These leagues 2417 01:53:13.199 --> 01:53:15.880 are so split. The NL is way better than the 2418 01:53:15.920 --> 01:53:18.600 American League, and right now you look at the rest 2419 01:53:18.640 --> 01:53:22.119 of the league that they have to contend against, it's 2420 01:53:22.159 --> 01:53:24.399 the Rangers are decent, the Tigers are good, and the 2421 01:53:24.479 --> 01:53:28.479 Yankees are good, and everyone else is fine or worse 2422 01:53:28.600 --> 01:53:31.039 or whatever. But like you get into a playoff series, 2423 01:53:31.079 --> 01:53:33.479 if you're the Astros against any team in the AL, 2424 01:53:33.520 --> 01:53:35.079 are you intimidated by any of them? 2425 01:53:35.359 --> 01:53:37.439 No? Not right now. You could lose to them. 2426 01:53:37.479 --> 01:53:39.079 You can lose to the Yankees, you can lose to 2427 01:53:39.079 --> 01:53:41.079 the Tigers, beat them, you can lose the Ringers. 2428 01:53:41.119 --> 01:53:43.119 You could also beat them. There's no one like. 2429 01:53:43.239 --> 01:53:47.199 I don't think that with healthy pitching that the Astros 2430 01:53:47.199 --> 01:53:49.520 match up well against the Dodgers in a playoff series. 2431 01:53:49.760 --> 01:53:51.560 I think the Astros would have a tough time with 2432 01:53:51.600 --> 01:53:53.199 the Mets in a playoff series, or the Phillies in 2433 01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:56.000 a playoff series, or the Diamondbacks in a playoff series, 2434 01:53:56.760 --> 01:53:58.720 but not against anyone in the American League. 2435 01:53:59.319 --> 01:54:00.119 This is a bad lead. 2436 01:54:00.239 --> 01:54:02.159 Well as well as they pitched. I mean, that's where 2437 01:54:02.199 --> 01:54:04.479 it comes down to the hitting part of it. I mean, 2438 01:54:04.560 --> 01:54:06.479 if you hit, they win. I mean, and that's the 2439 01:54:06.520 --> 01:54:08.399 part of it that if you get to that time 2440 01:54:08.439 --> 01:54:10.640 of the year, like even last year, as good as 2441 01:54:10.680 --> 01:54:13.439 the Tigers were playing at that point, if the Astros 2442 01:54:13.520 --> 01:54:16.760 hit whatsoever, Yeah, in either of those games, they win 2443 01:54:16.800 --> 01:54:18.840 that series and they move on and face Cleveland and 2444 01:54:18.880 --> 01:54:21.079 they probably beat Cleveland in that next series. 2445 01:54:21.159 --> 01:54:23.279 There was no one scary in last year's playoffs. They 2446 01:54:23.359 --> 01:54:25.439 just got out played by the Tigers in a two 2447 01:54:25.600 --> 01:54:27.159 game you know, in a three game series. 2448 01:54:27.479 --> 01:54:29.039 But that's a beatable team. 2449 01:54:29.439 --> 01:54:32.159 They did great with you know, they have Trek Scuball 2450 01:54:32.159 --> 01:54:34.359 and then the pitching chaos, but those guys are beatable. 2451 01:54:34.399 --> 01:54:37.119 No one is scared of shout out Ridge point along 2452 01:54:37.199 --> 01:54:39.279 will Vest. But like it's not the game is not 2453 01:54:39.319 --> 01:54:41.720 over when will Vest comes in the game. They other 2454 01:54:41.800 --> 01:54:45.199 than scooball. It's a bunch of decent pitchers. Yankees the 2455 01:54:45.239 --> 01:54:48.119 same thing. Like they're even down Garrett Cole this year, 2456 01:54:48.119 --> 01:54:50.000 and they've got Will Warren and all these random guys 2457 01:54:50.039 --> 01:54:51.359 coming out of the woodwork to pitch well. 2458 01:54:51.520 --> 01:54:52.600 But so did the Astro. 2459 01:54:52.720 --> 01:54:56.119 The Astros have the best pitcher in the American League 2460 01:54:56.199 --> 01:54:59.720 right now, and at Game one Yankees Astros matchup of 2461 01:54:59.760 --> 01:55:03.000 Mac Freed and Hunter Brown is an even match. 2462 01:55:03.760 --> 01:55:05.920 Well, life short when you hit a bunch of singles. 2463 01:55:06.000 --> 01:55:08.079 And that's what they did and that's what they're hoping 2464 01:55:08.119 --> 01:55:10.399 to be able to get off of here in twenty 2465 01:55:10.479 --> 01:55:11.039 twenty five. 2466 01:55:11.119 --> 01:55:12.359 And you mentioned the pitching. 2467 01:55:12.439 --> 01:55:14.680 Somebody to think for that will discuss that here as 2468 01:55:14.680 --> 01:55:17.079 we close out the eight o'clock hour on the Sean 2469 01:55:17.159 --> 01:55:17.960 Salisbury Show. 2470 01:55:17.960 --> 01:55:19.199 Sports Talk seven ninety. 2471 01:55:20.720 --> 01:55:26.359 The Sean Salisbury Show continues on your game console.

We don't 2610 02:01:36.199 --> 02:01:38.880 really care about basketball at this point, so we'll start 2611 02:01:38.880 --> 02:01:41.159 getting pitchers and catchers showing up and we get going. 2612 02:01:41.319 --> 02:01:44.840 So that's when football gets going and you get into 2613 02:01:45.119 --> 02:01:45.840 that part of the year. 2614 02:01:45.960 --> 02:01:48.399 Yeah, late All Star game this year for baseball, and 2615 02:01:48.399 --> 02:01:51.079 then immediately the week after it's training camp time. And 2616 02:01:51.600 --> 02:01:53.760 you have a team here that has an opportunity to 2617 02:01:54.439 --> 02:01:57.560 make some sort of run. Although there's three really good 2618 02:01:57.560 --> 02:01:59.880 AFC teams in their way that they haven't been able 2619 02:01:59.920 --> 02:02:01.079 to to get passed. 2620 02:02:01.159 --> 02:02:03.520 But yeah, it's this. It's good. 2621 02:02:03.600 --> 02:02:06.680 It's good to have a team that can win that 2622 02:02:06.720 --> 02:02:08.720 there is exciting football that you're not going in going, 2623 02:02:08.760 --> 02:02:10.880 oh my god, we're seven to ten this year, Like 2624 02:02:11.000 --> 02:02:13.159 what ninth pick are we going to get to draft 2625 02:02:13.199 --> 02:02:14.239 some offensive linemen? 2626 02:02:14.680 --> 02:02:16.880 You have to have a quarterback. They have the quarterback, 2627 02:02:17.399 --> 02:02:18.520 they got some weapons. 2628 02:02:20.439 --> 02:02:22.560 You know, this is a year that you can look 2629 02:02:22.600 --> 02:02:25.840 forward to because we had the surprise year, we had 2630 02:02:25.920 --> 02:02:29.399 the supposed breakout year that didn't really break out. And 2631 02:02:29.439 --> 02:02:32.239 now the expectation is that there's a baseline of like 2632 02:02:32.279 --> 02:02:34.079 this has to be a playoff team. And my hot 2633 02:02:34.079 --> 02:02:36.279 take is that you should go six and oh in 2634 02:02:36.279 --> 02:02:39.399 the AFC South. The AFC South is garbage. The Jaguars 2635 02:02:39.439 --> 02:02:41.359 are not good, the Titans are not good. The Colts 2636 02:02:41.359 --> 02:02:43.279 are not good. They went five to one last year 2637 02:02:43.319 --> 02:02:45.800 with a stupid loss to the Titans. You can go 2638 02:02:45.920 --> 02:02:48.079 six and oh they're better than those three teams. 2639 02:02:48.479 --> 02:02:50.359 That would be the hope. I mean that Titans game 2640 02:02:50.399 --> 02:02:53.119 last year. What a frustrating loss. But that's the NFL 2641 02:02:53.279 --> 02:02:57.680 that happens. Let's actually continue that next because the roadmap 2642 02:02:57.840 --> 02:03:00.680 the future. People already looking at what the text.

They went with an opener yesterday, they went 2680 02:05:04.760 --> 02:05:10.119 with back to back. Casey's Casey Legamina opened. Casey Lawrence 2681 02:05:10.199 --> 02:05:12.640 was the bulk guy. Went five innings of one run ball. 2682 02:05:12.720 --> 02:05:15.880 So both the Astros and the Mariners got five innings 2683 02:05:15.880 --> 02:05:19.000 of good pitching from someone you would not have expected yesterday, 2684 02:05:19.039 --> 02:05:22.000 with Brandon Walter for the Astros coming in in five scoreless. 2685 02:05:22.039 --> 02:05:24.439 Speaking of you know, obviously Pope Leo the fourteenth being 2686 02:05:24.439 --> 02:05:27.439 a White Sox fan, I mean it is reasonablieve that 2687 02:05:27.479 --> 02:05:28.720 he is a Jeff Blum fan. 2688 02:05:29.159 --> 02:05:32.119 Yeah, so he has to he has to know who 2689 02:05:32.199 --> 02:05:34.800 Jeff Blum is. He has to be excited when he 2690 02:05:34.800 --> 02:05:37.560 hears Jeff Blum do the TV call. 2691 02:05:37.840 --> 02:05:40.079 Think about that, Like the Pope. 2692 02:05:40.279 --> 02:05:44.039 The Pope of all the Catholics is like, hell, yeah, 2693 02:05:44.079 --> 02:05:46.600 Jeff Blum walk off. At some point in his life, 2694 02:05:46.640 --> 02:05:50.159 the Pope has been happy because of something that Jeff 2695 02:05:50.199 --> 02:05:50.680 Blum did. 2696 02:05:50.760 --> 02:05:54.640 Our Pope loves Italian beefs in old style. Like the 2697 02:05:54.680 --> 02:05:57.520 actor comedian Ike Baron Holtz. I saw a clip of 2698 02:05:57.560 --> 02:06:00.439 him on The Rich Eisen Show, and he like that 2699 02:06:00.479 --> 02:06:04.079 means that the Pope is an Ozzy Gehan fan. Yeah, 2700 02:06:04.159 --> 02:06:07.479 the Pope is a big Paul Knerko guy. Yeah, which, 2701 02:06:07.640 --> 02:06:09.560 uh I think I was looking this up when we 2702 02:06:09.560 --> 02:06:12.680 were talking about Pete Rose yesterday and the career ops Plus. 2703 02:06:12.880 --> 02:06:15.279 I think Paulko and Pete Rose have the same career 2704 02:06:15.279 --> 02:06:16.319 ops plus. 2705 02:06:16.119 --> 02:06:19.319 Make Jermaine Dye fan.

There's there 2709 02:06:31.239 --> 02:06:34.600 were some names on that team. We remember him, Scott Pasednik. 2710 02:06:34.800 --> 02:06:37.239 I mean, you forget that Pasednik with that fight between 2711 02:06:37.279 --> 02:06:39.560 Michael Barrett and the Aj Persenski that he was in 2712 02:06:39.600 --> 02:06:42.560 the middle of that that he tackled Michael Barrett after 2713 02:06:42.600 --> 02:06:46.000 Barrett put a right hook on Aj Persenski. 2714 02:06:46.439 --> 02:06:49.119 There's so few good baseball fights that I feel like 2715 02:06:49.159 --> 02:06:51.279 we remember, like all the classics. 2716 02:06:51.479 --> 02:06:53.560 I was gonna say that one was one, uh. I 2717 02:06:53.600 --> 02:06:55.520 mean a lot of them in the you know, seventies 2718 02:06:55.560 --> 02:06:57.920 and eighties too. I mean, like I always remember the 2719 02:06:58.359 --> 02:07:00.560 Ray Knights. Did he get into it with Oz Smith? 2720 02:07:01.560 --> 02:07:03.800 Like did Ozzie Smith like slide in hard there and 2721 02:07:03.800 --> 02:07:06.079 then Ray Knight Smith is so nice?

And 2723 02:07:08.039 --> 02:07:10.760 I'm trying to remember who it was that slid in? 2724 02:07:10.800 --> 02:07:12.560 It was either the Reds or the Cardinals that the 2725 02:07:12.600 --> 02:07:14.159 Mets were playing, and they had it in the eighty 2726 02:07:14.199 --> 02:07:17.439 six thirty for thirty and you see Ray Knight just 2727 02:07:17.479 --> 02:07:21.079 start throwing hands and it's just like nobody does that anymore. 2728 02:07:21.239 --> 02:07:23.239 Mets used to Yeah, I used to have a little feistiness, 2729 02:07:23.960 --> 02:07:27.640 feistiness to him. Are remember when Albert Bell just absolutely 2730 02:07:27.640 --> 02:07:31.359 decided to kill fernand Yeah, well, Fernando Vinya is like 2731 02:07:31.399 --> 02:07:34.079 a classic. Like you want to name a guy, Fernando 2732 02:07:34.199 --> 02:07:36.119 Vina's top of the list, He's up there. 2733 02:07:36.239 --> 02:07:37.239 I mean it was Eric. 2734 02:07:37.159 --> 02:07:41.600 Davis, Okay, he'd be he'd be one that I'm not 2735 02:07:41.640 --> 02:07:42.640 really sure I want to try. 2736 02:07:42.720 --> 02:07:43.960 Yeah, Eric Davis is a big guy. 2737 02:07:44.159 --> 02:07:46.199 Yeah, and then Ray Knight just said I don't care, 2738 02:07:46.279 --> 02:07:49.399 I'm going in Yeah, and he definitely uh backed up 2739 02:07:49.399 --> 02:07:50.000 those words. 2740 02:07:50.600 --> 02:07:51.279 But yeah. 2741 02:07:51.319 --> 02:07:54.800 The Astros Western Conference Finals Game one going to the 2742 02:07:54.840 --> 02:07:58.279 Thunder last night over the Timberwolves. The East gonna get 2743 02:07:58.279 --> 02:08:03.439 going tonight NFL meeting still ongoing. The allion's pullback on 2744 02:08:03.560 --> 02:08:07.079 the receding for the playoffs, the tush push ban especially 2745 02:08:07.079 --> 02:08:09.560 gonna be voted on today. It sounds like. 2746 02:08:10.000 --> 02:08:13.520 I'm so not interested in the tush push ban or 2747 02:08:13.600 --> 02:08:16.720 not ban. Just do something with it and let's stop 2748 02:08:16.760 --> 02:08:17.439 talking about it. 2749 02:08:17.560 --> 02:08:17.800 Yeah. 2750 02:08:17.880 --> 02:08:20.239 I'm kind of to that point too, And I mean, 2751 02:08:21.039 --> 02:08:25.119 it's s the point of talking season football where it's okay, OTAs, 2752 02:08:25.399 --> 02:08:28.640 we're excited about that mini camp, same deal, just because 2753 02:08:28.680 --> 02:08:31.439 it's some sort of football on the field. But then 2754 02:08:31.439 --> 02:08:34.000 it's like, Okay, you just get back to me second 2755 02:08:34.039 --> 02:08:36.000 week of September and then we can start talking. 2756 02:08:36.279 --> 02:08:37.920 I have a guy that I want to talk to 2757 02:08:37.960 --> 02:08:39.880 at mini camp because I ran into him, and so 2758 02:08:39.920 --> 02:08:41.159 I'm not going to tell you who it is. You'll 2759 02:08:41.159 --> 02:08:43.279 have to guess off air who it is, but it's 2760 02:08:43.319 --> 02:08:45.039 the player. I ran into him at Super Bowl at 2761 02:08:45.039 --> 02:08:46.600 some of the events and he was really cool, and 2762 02:08:46.640 --> 02:08:49.439 the Texans signed him this offseason. So I'm waiting to 2763 02:08:49.760 --> 02:08:51.760 get to know the guy a little bit more. Also 2764 02:08:52.039 --> 02:08:55.000 side note, I've heard Christian Kirk phenomenal golfer. 2765 02:08:55.279 --> 02:08:57.720 Yeah, yeah, so I saw the video too. They were 2766 02:08:57.760 --> 02:09:00.600 talking about it was either he or Kuym Baron, of 2767 02:09:00.680 --> 02:09:03.359 who is. The kickers are always the kickers, and quarterbacks 2768 02:09:03.399 --> 02:09:05.319 are usually always the golfers. 2769 02:09:04.880 --> 02:09:07.680 On the team. Punters too, you'll get the punters involved. 2770 02:09:07.960 --> 02:09:10.439 Fair Baron's really good at ping pong apparently, oh okay, 2771 02:09:10.439 --> 02:09:12.520 And they're the guy that runs him. And back when 2772 02:09:12.560 --> 02:09:14.359 they had case Keenum, they're the guys that ran the 2773 02:09:14.359 --> 02:09:16.399 ping pong table. I remember Keenum used to always be 2774 02:09:16.439 --> 02:09:19.000 on that ping pong table there in the locker room. 2775 02:09:19.039 --> 02:09:22.039 But you know, a couple of days ago, brock Perty 2776 02:09:22.239 --> 02:09:24.840 signed his deal with the forty nine ers sixty million 2777 02:09:24.840 --> 02:09:28.079 per So that immediately has people like me and you 2778 02:09:28.159 --> 02:09:31.199 and like everybody else saying, oh, well, now the Texans 2779 02:09:31.199 --> 02:09:32.279 are on the clock for CJ. 2780 02:09:32.880 --> 02:09:35.119 That deal is gonna get done next offseason. That's going 2781 02:09:35.159 --> 02:09:38.279 to happen, and he probably will be north of you know, 2782 02:09:38.359 --> 02:09:41.760 sixty sixty one, sixty two, sixty three, something like that 2783 02:09:41.800 --> 02:09:45.039 in terms of annual value of the contract coming to 2784 02:09:45.079 --> 02:09:48.600 his way. But then it's also too you're gonna make 2785 02:09:48.600 --> 02:09:51.680 a decision on Will Anderson Junior. They're gonna take that 2786 02:09:51.720 --> 02:09:54.079 fifth year option Will Anderson Junior. They're gonna say we 2787 02:09:54.119 --> 02:09:56.680 take care of CJ. This year, we get another year 2788 02:09:57.159 --> 02:10:01.439 somewhat rookie money on him. Year after that is when 2789 02:10:01.479 --> 02:10:04.800 things get interesting with the Texans, because it is going 2790 02:10:04.880 --> 02:10:08.279 to start to have some of the offseason storylines of 2791 02:10:08.439 --> 02:10:12.039 they've traded this guy, they've released this guy and one 2792 02:10:12.079 --> 02:10:14.079 of the guys, and this is gonna make some Texans 2793 02:10:14.119 --> 02:10:16.600 fans shut or to even think about this. But I 2794 02:10:16.640 --> 02:10:18.760 think that these are the last couple of years of 2795 02:10:18.800 --> 02:10:24.279 Nico Collins. Maybe maybe not. Maybe you find other ways 2796 02:10:24.319 --> 02:10:26.239 to clear some of the money. You're gonna have guys 2797 02:10:26.239 --> 02:10:29.640 that are aging out of bigger contracts. You don't have 2798 02:10:29.720 --> 02:10:32.319 a super expensive offensive line right now, you've already cleared 2799 02:10:32.319 --> 02:10:35.479 all that the salary off of Laramie Tunsel. You're paying 2800 02:10:35.520 --> 02:10:38.239 a lot of money to Daniel Hunter, rightfully so, because 2801 02:10:38.279 --> 02:10:40.520 he's really good. But Daniel Hunter is gonna be gone 2802 02:10:40.560 --> 02:10:41.319 in a couple of years. 2803 02:10:42.399 --> 02:10:45.319 I think you keep you know, you have your building box, 2804 02:10:45.840 --> 02:10:48.640 your quarterback, your number one receiver. You don't have to 2805 02:10:48.640 --> 02:10:51.640 pay running backs. We know that you have Will Anderson 2806 02:10:51.920 --> 02:10:55.039 and you have Derek Stingley, and then you can figure 2807 02:10:55.039 --> 02:10:57.840 out everything else around it. I just the way that 2808 02:10:57.880 --> 02:11:00.520 they handled the draft this year of going out and 2809 02:11:00.560 --> 02:11:03.439 getting Jayden Higgins and then Jalen Knowle, who a lot 2810 02:11:03.439 --> 02:11:04.880 of people think is going to be able to fit 2811 02:11:04.920 --> 02:11:08.560 the Tank Dell role for now, I mean because I mean, 2812 02:11:08.680 --> 02:11:11.399 when Tank Dell comes back, if I'm not mistaken, he's 2813 02:11:11.479 --> 02:11:12.479 not going to play this season. 2814 02:11:12.640 --> 02:11:14.199 I think we can all pretty much agree on that. 2815 02:11:14.319 --> 02:11:16.119 So then he's back next year. What do you get 2816 02:11:16.159 --> 02:11:18.600 out of him next year? And then I guess that 2817 02:11:18.640 --> 02:11:20.560 would be the fourth year of his deal at that point, 2818 02:11:20.640 --> 02:11:23.359 so he would be playing his free agent year there. 2819 02:11:23.560 --> 02:11:26.399 I mean, this is where you start to Once you 2820 02:11:27.199 --> 02:11:29.640 have the guys who are able to be on the 2821 02:11:29.680 --> 02:11:32.960 found money of rookie deals and you find a quarterback 2822 02:11:33.000 --> 02:11:35.159 in that in that mold right there, then it's like, 2823 02:11:35.239 --> 02:11:37.880 oh man, the rest of the roster is wide open 2824 02:11:37.920 --> 02:11:40.000 for us to pretty much go out and get whoever 2825 02:11:40.000 --> 02:11:42.000 we want. Because that guy's fine, we don't have to 2826 02:11:42.000 --> 02:11:44.239 worry about him right now. But then you do have 2827 02:11:44.319 --> 02:11:46.000 to worry about him. Then all of a sudden, the 2828 02:11:46.000 --> 02:11:47.039 penny pinching starts. 2829 02:11:47.239 --> 02:11:49.319 Well, it also just depends on what what can you 2830 02:11:49.359 --> 02:11:51.479 get out of Nico Collins and is he going to 2831 02:11:51.520 --> 02:11:55.960 deserve continuing these extensions and CJ's got to have a 2832 02:11:56.039 --> 02:11:58.079 number one. And right now, you look down the rest 2833 02:11:58.079 --> 02:12:01.399 of the roster, these guys aren't super high picks. Like, yeah, 2834 02:12:01.399 --> 02:12:03.319 as much as you love Jayden Higgins to draft him 2835 02:12:03.319 --> 02:12:04.960 in the second round over an offensive line, but he's 2836 02:12:04.960 --> 02:12:07.319 still a second round pick. Right Noel is still a 2837 02:12:07.359 --> 02:12:10.439 third round pick. And you lucked into Nico turning into 2838 02:12:10.479 --> 02:12:12.479 what he's turned into because he was a third round 2839 02:12:12.560 --> 02:12:16.000 pick who was banged up and he wasn't who wasn't 2840 02:12:16.000 --> 02:12:18.479 the guy that he is now, Like he has transformed 2841 02:12:18.520 --> 02:12:21.159 his body. He was always banged up and now he's 2842 02:12:21.439 --> 02:12:24.039 been less so hurt, although there's still some soft tissue 2843 02:12:24.039 --> 02:12:27.039 stuff that pops up with him. But when he was 2844 02:12:27.119 --> 02:12:28.920 in his first you know, his rookie year here, I 2845 02:12:28.960 --> 02:12:31.159 don't think anyone could have imagined like this is going 2846 02:12:31.199 --> 02:12:35.079 to be an Alpha number one, super good, top ten 2847 02:12:35.159 --> 02:12:38.520 NFL receiver. This is where also too, when you get 2848 02:12:38.520 --> 02:12:42.199 into this category of you've paid the quarterback. Now you 2849 02:12:42.319 --> 02:12:44.800 know that a fourth of your salary cap has gone. 2850 02:12:45.319 --> 02:12:49.520 This is where Nick Cassio, who's been incredibly good overall 2851 02:12:49.640 --> 02:12:52.359 with the draft, that's where it's like, all right now, 2852 02:12:52.399 --> 02:12:55.199 that's when you really have to be even better because 2853 02:12:55.560 --> 02:12:58.399 you can't have that situation pop up and then you've 2854 02:12:58.439 --> 02:13:01.039 got to pay Will Anderson Junior soon. So that's another 2855 02:13:01.159 --> 02:13:04.800 what you know, thirty million off the top right there 2856 02:13:05.159 --> 02:13:06.920 that you're taking away from the cap. So I mean 2857 02:13:06.920 --> 02:13:08.199 that's about ninety. 2858 02:13:07.880 --> 02:13:10.960 Plus million dollars that you have of however much against 2859 02:13:11.000 --> 02:13:13.079 the cap that you're going to be going with, Like 2860 02:13:13.159 --> 02:13:16.479 you know, for example, Miles Garrett forty million per Daneil 2861 02:13:16.560 --> 02:13:18.960 Hunter right now thirty five point six. I mean, I 2862 02:13:18.960 --> 02:13:21.000 would probably think that Hunter is in his final two 2863 02:13:21.039 --> 02:13:23.800 years with the team, Max Crosby, guys like that. I mean, 2864 02:13:23.840 --> 02:13:25.439 that's probably the going rate that you're gonna have to 2865 02:13:25.439 --> 02:13:27.479 pay for Will Anderson Junior when that time comes up. 2866 02:13:27.560 --> 02:13:29.119 Yeah, it is, and it's going to keep going up. 2867 02:13:29.159 --> 02:13:31.039 I mean, the inflation of these contracts is going to 2868 02:13:31.159 --> 02:13:33.479 keep you know, Will Anderson probably get forty right, Like, 2869 02:13:33.760 --> 02:13:35.880 he's one of the best defensive ends in the league. 2870 02:13:36.079 --> 02:13:39.039 He's going to continue getting better and it's going to 2871 02:13:39.079 --> 02:13:40.880 be the market rate. But then at the same time, 2872 02:13:40.920 --> 02:13:42.760 the salary cap is going to keep going up. The 2873 02:13:42.920 --> 02:13:45.960 NFL is doing great, and these guys are going to 2874 02:13:46.039 --> 02:13:48.960 keep finding more and more space the rest of these deals. 2875 02:13:48.960 --> 02:13:51.239 I mean it's football, right, Like they structure these deals 2876 02:13:51.239 --> 02:13:53.840 in a way the teams can, for the most part, 2877 02:13:53.920 --> 02:13:56.920 unless you're the Browns and Deshaun Watson, for the most part, 2878 02:13:56.960 --> 02:13:59.079 can find a way to get out of it somehow 2879 02:13:59.159 --> 02:14:01.800 without two problems that the new or owned Saints have 2880 02:14:01.840 --> 02:14:05.279 been pushing back the tax man for you know, however 2881 02:14:05.319 --> 02:14:08.279 many years, and it's finally, you know, finally come due. 2882 02:14:08.479 --> 02:14:12.000 But they can get creative. I'm not that worried about it. 2883 02:14:12.159 --> 02:14:16.319 The credit card bill definitely does come due. Let's get 2884 02:14:16.319 --> 02:14:19.159 back into a little bit of baseball here, because something 2885 02:14:19.199 --> 02:14:23.279 happened a couple of nights ago that somebody took massive 2886 02:14:23.319 --> 02:14:25.359 exception two and they could not be more wrong. 2887 02:14:25.399 --> 02:14:26.399 And we'll discuss that here. 2888 02:14:26.439 --> 02:14:30.039 It is a Sean Salisbury show, Sports Talk at seven ninety. 2889 02:14:30.319 --> 02:14:33.319 Doctor Jeff witz it at witstt vision dot com, wh 2890 02:14:33.359 --> 02:14:35.479 I T s e t T the very best in 2891 02:14:35.520 --> 02:14:37.760 the business.

You get Pania Perettas Altuve as 2915 02:15:46.159 --> 02:15:49.760 the DH today, hitting one through three rds. Back in 2916 02:15:49.760 --> 02:15:52.920 the lineup, they're in the cleanup spot and catching you 2917 02:15:53.000 --> 02:15:55.279 get Walker and Myers. Five and six, you get camp 2918 02:15:55.359 --> 02:15:59.239 Smith out and writes Brendan Rodgers over at second Mauricio 2919 02:15:59.319 --> 02:16:01.319 Dubond getting the start out in left field today for 2920 02:16:01.560 --> 02:16:02.119 Hunter Brown. 2921 02:16:02.239 --> 02:16:02.840 Yeah, it's fine. 2922 02:16:02.920 --> 02:16:06.039 So it's a lineup that's meant to accentuate Hunter Brown 2923 02:16:06.119 --> 02:16:08.439 or what he does and throws a lot of ground balls. 2924 02:16:08.479 --> 02:16:12.000 But Rogers at second base, you have an outfielder and 2925 02:16:12.119 --> 02:16:15.000 left who can throw a little bit. In Mauricio Dubond, 2926 02:16:15.319 --> 02:16:17.640 you have your best center fielder out there. Camp Smith 2927 02:16:17.640 --> 02:16:20.720 has continued to earn playing time, and you get Jose 2928 02:16:20.760 --> 02:16:23.560 al tub off of his feet while you are Don 2929 02:16:23.640 --> 02:16:26.920 Alvarez is still on the il and moving Christian Walker 2930 02:16:27.479 --> 02:16:31.399 down to fifth. I mean that's he's earned that too, 2931 02:16:31.439 --> 02:16:33.760 and not in the way that he wants. But he's 2932 02:16:33.840 --> 02:16:36.200 just not hitting well enough to be in the fourth 2933 02:16:36.200 --> 02:16:38.959 spot and having Jake Myers directly behind him, and Myers 2934 02:16:39.000 --> 02:16:40.399 has been hitting really well this month. 2935 02:16:41.239 --> 02:16:46.600 Making a prediction Walker Homers today, why not he likes 2936 02:16:46.639 --> 02:16:48.959 that fifth spot? Told you how while he's hitting that 2937 02:16:49.000 --> 02:16:51.159 fifth spot, I think there's gonna be some comfort there. 2938 02:16:51.399 --> 02:16:55.280 And then Joe look, any other injuries, anything else that happens. 2939 02:16:55.520 --> 02:16:59.239 Christian Walker hits fifth Yeah, let's will it into the atmosphere. 2940 02:16:59.319 --> 02:17:02.559 Let's make it happen. Christian Walker is one for two 2941 02:17:03.200 --> 02:17:06.559 with a home run off of Toaj Bradley in his career. 2942 02:17:06.600 --> 02:17:08.639 I think you might be onto something here you go there, 2943 02:17:08.680 --> 02:17:11.079 you go for your beat the streak. Who knows, you know, 2944 02:17:11.360 --> 02:17:14.000 maybe that's somebody. Although it's one of the other things 2945 02:17:14.040 --> 02:17:16.040 too that it's one of my sick games that I 2946 02:17:16.120 --> 02:17:19.280 like to do with Twitter during a game is especially 2947 02:17:19.319 --> 02:17:22.360 while watching the Astros, is to wade into the waters 2948 02:17:22.360 --> 02:17:24.600 that is Astros Twitter, and one of them is to 2949 02:17:24.719 --> 02:17:27.079 search a player's name and see what it is. And 2950 02:17:27.159 --> 02:17:29.479 of course you know, strike out runners in scoring position. 2951 02:17:29.520 --> 02:17:29.840 All of that. 2952 02:17:29.920 --> 02:17:32.000 You'll get to people who are angry about that. But 2953 02:17:32.120 --> 02:17:35.719 it's often people like you with beat the Streak or 2954 02:17:36.040 --> 02:17:38.959 with Daily Fantasy or anything like that, that are like, 2955 02:17:39.040 --> 02:17:41.719 this is the last time I take Christian Walker Like 2956 02:17:41.760 --> 02:17:44.440 those are the ones that always pop up whenever his 2957 02:17:44.559 --> 02:17:45.520 name comes up on Twitter. 2958 02:17:45.639 --> 02:17:49.719 Yeah, gambling has massively changed how people talk about players, 2959 02:17:49.719 --> 02:17:52.479 often in a really negative way, and you hope that 2960 02:17:52.559 --> 02:17:56.399 you can separate the like these are real people that 2961 02:17:56.680 --> 02:17:59.280 might not be having the best day at work when 2962 02:17:59.319 --> 02:18:00.719 you're relying. 2963 02:18:00.159 --> 02:18:00.760 On them too. 2964 02:18:01.079 --> 02:18:04.799 This is on you for relying on humans and or 2965 02:18:04.879 --> 02:18:09.760 sometimes horses and or sometimes the lesser times greyhounds. 2966 02:18:10.120 --> 02:18:11.200 I think that's still legal. 2967 02:18:11.239 --> 02:18:14.840 I don't know, to win you money, like these are 2968 02:18:14.879 --> 02:18:16.399 not you know, these are not robots. 2969 02:18:16.520 --> 02:18:18.000 There is a wide range of outcomes. 2970 02:18:18.040 --> 02:18:19.760 You want to feel a certain way about yourself, go 2971 02:18:19.799 --> 02:18:21.840 to a Vegas sports book, like early in the morning 2972 02:18:21.840 --> 02:18:25.479 when like I don't know, Indonesian like kart racing is happening, 2973 02:18:25.479 --> 02:18:27.639 and you see people in there that are actually wagering 2974 02:18:27.639 --> 02:18:28.440 on it, and. 2975 02:18:28.360 --> 02:18:30.200 You're just like, dude, what are you doing with your life? 2976 02:18:30.520 --> 02:18:32.799 Yeah, well you haven't lived until you've bet on euro 2977 02:18:32.920 --> 02:18:34.239 Tour golf at three am. 2978 02:18:34.319 --> 02:18:34.520 Dan. 2979 02:18:35.879 --> 02:18:37.559 It's like a buddy of mine would like tell us 2980 02:18:37.600 --> 02:18:40.440 about you know, certain like soccer bets, and we're just like, 2981 02:18:40.479 --> 02:18:42.479 you know nothing about them, Like what are you doing? 2982 02:18:42.799 --> 02:18:44.360 Yeah, but it's on it four in the morning, and 2983 02:18:44.399 --> 02:18:45.280 you gotta have something to do. 2984 02:18:45.360 --> 02:18:45.520 Man. 2985 02:18:45.600 --> 02:18:48.559 Sometimes you just got to throw ten bucks on Adrian 2986 02:18:48.680 --> 02:18:52.159 moronk to win his three ball in Dubai, all right. 2987 02:18:53.559 --> 02:18:54.760 I would think of other things to do. 2988 02:18:54.879 --> 02:18:56.799 Sleep would be one of them at that time of 2989 02:18:56.840 --> 02:18:59.239 the morning, especially out there in you know, Vegas, wherever 2990 02:18:59.239 --> 02:19:01.120 you're at.

He 3018 02:20:11.120 --> 02:20:13.360 took the entire series off when one of his kids 3019 02:20:13.760 --> 02:20:16.959 graduated and Carlos Tosca had the series for them, and 3020 02:20:17.000 --> 02:20:19.479 he was the acting manager because they were out on 3021 02:20:19.520 --> 02:20:21.360 the West Coast and he's like, I gotta go back 3022 02:20:21.399 --> 02:20:22.680 and you know, go to graduation. 3023 02:20:22.760 --> 02:20:24.239 So I'm gonna take the weekend. That's fine. 3024 02:20:24.840 --> 02:20:28.440 But Alex Korra did it, and he met some backlash 3025 02:20:28.639 --> 02:20:31.600 yesterday from it. So his daughter just graduated from Boston College. 3026 02:20:31.639 --> 02:20:34.959 And Mike Felger, who is on ninety eight to five 3027 02:20:35.200 --> 02:20:40.000 the Sports Hub there in Boston, called the decision for 3028 02:20:40.520 --> 02:20:44.399 Kora to step away kind of preposterous, adding on, it 3029 02:20:44.520 --> 02:20:47.159 just sets a tone. It's just a tone. You set 3030 02:20:47.319 --> 02:20:50.040 an example you set for the team. It's not like 3031 02:20:50.079 --> 02:20:52.360 they need him there to make the pitching change or 3032 02:20:52.440 --> 02:20:54.840 lay down the bunt. It's the leadership optics of the 3033 02:20:54.879 --> 02:20:57.159 whole thing. It's a very easy choice for him to 3034 02:20:57.159 --> 02:21:00.200 say nothing's more important than tonight's game. He just does 3035 02:21:00.239 --> 02:21:03.319 it by example. Nothing's more important than this game. 3036 02:21:04.079 --> 02:21:04.319 Dude. 3037 02:21:04.319 --> 02:21:07.040 It's the middle of May game, and I get it 3038 02:21:07.040 --> 02:21:10.079 it was against the Mets, But like you just kind 3039 02:21:10.120 --> 02:21:12.719 of already like proved your own point of it's not 3040 02:21:12.760 --> 02:21:15.520 like they need him there to do this or that. Okay, fine, 3041 02:21:15.719 --> 02:21:18.920 it's one game. It's all good. He's going to be 3042 02:21:18.959 --> 02:21:21.799 a dad for the rest of his in her life. 3043 02:21:22.440 --> 02:21:24.479 He's going to be the manager for only a short 3044 02:21:24.520 --> 02:21:27.040 amount of time. This is a prime example ari of 3045 02:21:27.680 --> 02:21:30.600 don't ever put something like this in front of the 3046 02:21:30.639 --> 02:21:33.399 people who matter the most, and that's your family. I 3047 02:21:33.440 --> 02:21:36.000 also am not one hundred percent sure that I believe 3048 02:21:36.040 --> 02:21:39.639 this guy right, Like how many times are people just 3049 02:21:39.920 --> 02:21:44.920 manufacturing opinions for just reaction. 3050 02:21:44.600 --> 02:21:45.920 That's in play? That does happen? 3051 02:21:46.159 --> 02:21:48.879 Sure, like all the time, Like all this one Soto 3052 02:21:48.959 --> 02:21:51.360 stuff that's going on, Like how much of that is 3053 02:21:51.440 --> 02:21:54.840 Like do you actually believe that whatever this is going on, 3054 02:21:54.959 --> 02:21:58.120 or just like yappin for attention. This feels like a 3055 02:21:58.200 --> 02:22:00.440 yapp and for attention thing to me. That's one of 3056 02:22:00.440 --> 02:22:02.680 my favorite responses to have is whenever like I see 3057 02:22:02.799 --> 02:22:04.719 or hear somebody say something and I'm just like. 3058 02:22:04.719 --> 02:22:05.680 You don't even believe that. 3059 02:22:06.000 --> 02:22:10.000 Yeah, And it can also come into play quite a bit, 3060 02:22:10.159 --> 02:22:12.280 like where it's you know, you see somebody, Oh, they 3061 02:22:12.360 --> 02:22:15.360 just eviscerated this guy, and I'm just like, you're playing 3062 02:22:15.399 --> 02:22:17.360 up for the cameras, you're playing up for the microphones, 3063 02:22:17.440 --> 02:22:19.440 Like are you really being honest with your audience? In 3064 02:22:19.520 --> 02:22:21.000 most chances, I would say probably not. 3065 02:22:21.159 --> 02:22:23.840 No, they're playing a character like do you really think 3066 02:22:23.959 --> 02:22:26.559 And I know I've I've read articles about like people 3067 02:22:26.639 --> 02:22:29.920 talking about how sincere like Skip Bayless is or how 3068 02:22:29.959 --> 02:22:32.959 insane he is about whatever it is that he does. 3069 02:22:33.600 --> 02:22:37.639 But like, do you really think that he's sitting at 3070 02:22:37.639 --> 02:22:41.360 home and Lebron does something and he's like his day 3071 02:22:41.440 --> 02:22:42.319 is ruined. 3072 02:22:42.000 --> 02:22:44.360 Because of it? No, it's all fake. 3073 02:22:44.680 --> 02:22:47.879 Well, there is that, And it's also though, like especially 3074 02:22:48.120 --> 02:22:49.920 he's one of the ones who's on the list for me, 3075 02:22:50.239 --> 02:22:52.440 like I haven't given you the concept triple he knows 3076 02:22:52.440 --> 02:22:54.719 about the concept of me. Of the lists on the 3077 02:22:54.719 --> 02:22:57.280 side of the refrigerator, the pay No Mind list, Skip 3078 02:22:57.319 --> 02:22:58.360 Bayless is on that list. 3079 02:22:58.479 --> 02:23:00.760 Yeah, I mean I don't think I think that, Like 3080 02:23:00.840 --> 02:23:03.360 you're you're coming up with something to talk about. If 3081 02:23:03.440 --> 02:23:06.440 it's May and Alex Korra took a day off to 3082 02:23:06.479 --> 02:23:08.879 go to his daughter's graduation, and you're turning it into 3083 02:23:08.879 --> 02:23:11.959 a whole thing. It's also clearly your ship does not 3084 02:23:12.040 --> 02:23:14.559 work anymore because if it if it did, you'd still 3085 02:23:14.600 --> 02:23:17.079 be in the position that you were in. Like, yeah, 3086 02:23:17.200 --> 02:23:20.079 it's that's one of those things where too it's Boston, right, 3087 02:23:20.159 --> 02:23:22.159 and so you feel like you have to have this 3088 02:23:22.360 --> 02:23:26.879 like hardcore like masculinity take about like this guy's got 3089 02:23:26.920 --> 02:23:30.680 to come into work every day and work at the dockyards, 3090 02:23:30.680 --> 02:23:34.959 and like also he's a baseball manager. Of all the coaches, 3091 02:23:35.399 --> 02:23:39.680 they do the least of having an impact on whatever 3092 02:23:39.680 --> 02:23:40.879 it is happens on the field. 3093 02:23:40.959 --> 02:23:41.120 Right. 3094 02:23:41.319 --> 02:23:45.360 He got thrown out last night, Yeah, because Walker Bueller 3095 02:23:45.959 --> 02:23:48.120 missed a you know, didn't get a call and he 3096 02:23:48.159 --> 02:23:50.719 cussed out the umpire and then Cora gets thrown out 3097 02:23:51.000 --> 02:23:52.600 and then the rest of the game they had their 3098 02:23:52.639 --> 02:23:56.840 bench coach managing and they won. Like the difference between 3099 02:23:56.959 --> 02:24:00.040 Alex Korra being there and not being there for No. 3100 02:24:00.200 --> 02:24:04.479 One of One's sixty two is nothing. It's just I 3101 02:24:04.520 --> 02:24:08.520 mean contrived. Some people will buy it, some people will 3102 02:24:08.520 --> 02:24:10.879 go with it. I mean, I do agree with you 3103 02:24:11.000 --> 02:24:13.959 on this thing, because it's just like you won the 3104 02:24:14.000 --> 02:24:16.719 game first and foremost, So that's fine. 3105 02:24:17.360 --> 02:24:18.159 It's one day. 3106 02:24:18.559 --> 02:24:22.559 Like, it's not like he's taking time away because I 3107 02:24:22.600 --> 02:24:24.959 don't know, think of a reason that he could possibly 3108 02:24:25.040 --> 02:24:28.239 take time away that's not really that serious, Like nobody's 3109 02:24:28.280 --> 02:24:30.760 in you know, danger of passing or anything like that. 3110 02:24:30.879 --> 02:24:32.639 So you want to be with them and you know 3111 02:24:32.840 --> 02:24:36.520 in all those moments. But like it's his daughter's graduation, 3112 02:24:36.799 --> 02:24:38.600 and for the reasons that I just gave you there, Like, 3113 02:24:38.879 --> 02:24:41.399 I don't think there's a single person in that clubhouse that, oh, 3114 02:24:41.440 --> 02:24:43.159 Skip's not gonna be here tonight because it's going to 3115 02:24:43.200 --> 02:24:47.079 his daughter's graduation. Skipper really care about us? Yeah, No, 3116 02:24:47.239 --> 02:24:49.760 there's no way. Like the look, these guys are people. 3117 02:24:49.799 --> 02:24:50.600 They understand. 3118 02:24:50.760 --> 02:24:53.079 I guarantee you they're gonna at some point grow up 3119 02:24:53.120 --> 02:24:54.200 and be like, yeah, I want to be at my 3120 02:24:54.280 --> 02:24:55.079 daughter's graduation. 3121 02:24:55.879 --> 02:24:56.760 They all understand. 3122 02:24:56.760 --> 02:24:58.680 It's Also it's one day, Like most of these guys 3123 02:24:58.719 --> 02:25:01.719 are so locked in all on the details of what 3124 02:25:01.799 --> 02:25:04.040 they have to do. And keep in mind who the 3125 02:25:04.079 --> 02:25:07.840 clubhouse leader is. In that clubhouse right now is Alex Bregman, 3126 02:25:08.280 --> 02:25:13.479 who thinks about the minute details of swing mechanics and 3127 02:25:14.399 --> 02:25:18.360 relief pitcher release points. Do you think that he cares 3128 02:25:18.360 --> 02:25:20.840 that Alex Cora took a day off. No, he's got 3129 02:25:20.879 --> 02:25:25.040 to go study Ryan's stannick splitter finger grip, all right, 3130 02:25:25.159 --> 02:25:26.200 Like these guys don't care. 3131 02:25:26.239 --> 02:25:27.520 They have their own stuff to worry about. 3132 02:25:27.680 --> 02:25:30.239 Well, I mean, and you think about it too, from 3133 02:25:30.799 --> 02:25:33.920 in this case managers, but like coaches in this industry, 3134 02:25:34.000 --> 02:25:36.079 like we're around it close enough that we know, like 3135 02:25:36.799 --> 02:25:39.440 when you're on the job, you're on the job. The 3136 02:25:39.479 --> 02:25:42.360 family is secondary and it's unfortunate and you miss a 3137 02:25:42.399 --> 02:25:44.600 lot of those moments too. So I think like kind 3138 02:25:44.639 --> 02:25:47.399 of Cora looks at this of saying, hey, I've missed 3139 02:25:47.479 --> 02:25:49.959 first games, I've missed all of these other things because 3140 02:25:50.000 --> 02:25:52.159 we've been playing a series out in LA against the 3141 02:25:52.159 --> 02:25:54.319 Dodgers and I can't be there for that. This is 3142 02:25:54.319 --> 02:25:57.000 one of these where it's in Boston. He's right there, 3143 02:25:57.079 --> 02:25:59.440 he's right down the street, and he just says, look, 3144 02:25:59.639 --> 02:26:02.319 I'm not missing this one. Like there's many things that 3145 02:26:02.760 --> 02:26:04.760 unfortunately I have to grin and Barrett and I have 3146 02:26:04.799 --> 02:26:07.520 to miss it, but this is not one that I 3147 02:26:07.559 --> 02:26:09.399 can go back at and say, you know what, I'm 3148 02:26:09.440 --> 02:26:11.719 really glad I managed that Monday night game against the 3149 02:26:11.799 --> 02:26:13.000 Mets and mister graduation. 3150 02:26:13.159 --> 02:26:14.280 No, he's not gonna say that. 3151 02:26:14.559 --> 02:26:17.280 I don't think John Henry cares either. There's no way 3152 02:26:17.319 --> 02:26:20.479 that they care that he's going to take one day 3153 02:26:20.479 --> 02:26:22.319 off in the middle of the year. And it's also 3154 02:26:22.360 --> 02:26:26.200 like it's not a Pennant race, like it's may It's fine. 3155 02:26:26.239 --> 02:26:30.079 This is such a made up for attention take. Yeah. 3156 02:26:30.120 --> 02:26:32.079 Well, he got the most of it right there, because 3157 02:26:32.360 --> 02:26:35.479 Cora did have to talk about it. As he was 3158 02:26:35.840 --> 02:26:39.040 asked before last night's game, said, people have their own opinions. 3159 02:26:39.280 --> 02:26:41.319 I bet those people have families too, and at one 3160 02:26:41.360 --> 02:26:44.399 point they have to make decisions as well. Bet they 3161 02:26:44.399 --> 02:26:46.159 made decisions for the best of the family. I made 3162 02:26:46.159 --> 02:26:48.600 the decision for my daughter. For those who don't understand, 3163 02:26:48.680 --> 02:26:50.319 I'm not going to try to convince them. It is 3164 02:26:50.360 --> 02:26:52.520 what it is. I made the best decision for my girl. 3165 02:26:52.799 --> 02:26:53.040 Yeah. 3166 02:26:53.079 --> 02:26:54.879 Fine, like the fact that even had to answer that 3167 02:26:54.959 --> 02:26:57.559 is stupid. Yeah, I mean I saw that yesterday and 3168 02:26:57.600 --> 02:26:59.319 I was just like backlash. I was like, what the 3169 02:26:59.360 --> 02:27:01.920 hell could be back slash from missing a May nineteenth 3170 02:27:01.959 --> 02:27:03.159 game against the Mets. 3171 02:27:03.760 --> 02:27:05.440 Yeah, that dumb. 3172 02:27:05.959 --> 02:27:08.760 Yeah, Well, some people want to wait in those waters. 3173 02:27:08.760 --> 02:27:11.159 We try not to hear on The Seawan Salisbury Show. 3174 02:27:11.200 --> 02:27:13.079 And I think for the most part, our batting average 3175 02:27:13.120 --> 02:27:15.600 is good. All right, let's get back into the astros conversation. 3176 02:27:16.239 --> 02:27:19.479 As the pitching as good as it's been this year. 3177 02:27:19.639 --> 02:27:21.799 This guy's not getting their flowers enough and we'll talk 3178 02:27:21.799 --> 02:27:24.520 about them right here.

We used to do this 3265 02:30:45.719 --> 02:30:47.879 all the time on a former show I worked on, 3266 02:30:48.040 --> 02:30:50.719 and we would have Colin McEwan And one of the 3267 02:30:50.719 --> 02:30:52.959 times we had him on, one of my guys asked him, goes, 3268 02:30:53.000 --> 02:30:54.559 if you go to the grocery store and there's the 3269 02:30:54.559 --> 02:30:57.479 produce department, what piece of produce could you pick to 3270 02:30:57.520 --> 02:30:58.680 be able to throw for a strike? 3271 02:30:58.719 --> 02:31:01.120 He said, a key lime, a key lin. 3272 02:31:01.239 --> 02:31:03.760 Oh my god, he said, probably has the same density 3273 02:31:03.760 --> 02:31:07.239 as a baseball. No what, well, just like the weight 3274 02:31:07.280 --> 02:31:08.799 of it is what he was getting at. 3275 02:31:08.680 --> 02:31:09.399 Like too small. 3276 02:31:09.680 --> 02:31:13.040 Well he did throw that into you know, into the equation, 3277 02:31:13.239 --> 02:31:15.959 but he said that probably in terms of the weight 3278 02:31:16.120 --> 02:31:18.280 and being able to you know, everything to follow through 3279 02:31:18.319 --> 02:31:20.319 all of that, that he feels like he'd be able 3280 02:31:20.319 --> 02:31:22.399 to throw a strike like an apple, he said, would 3281 02:31:22.440 --> 02:31:25.159 be too big, an orange the same deal or. 3282 02:31:25.239 --> 02:31:27.159 Just too big for sure? Now I'm thinking of like 3283 02:31:27.239 --> 02:31:27.760 a kiwi. 3284 02:31:28.399 --> 02:31:32.000 I think a kiwi decent density, the size spits in 3285 02:31:32.040 --> 02:31:34.360 the palm of your hand like a baseball does. I 3286 02:31:34.360 --> 02:31:37.799 think kiwi would be good. Key limes are too kidding me? 3287 02:31:38.440 --> 02:31:40.719 What about a regular line? A regular line would be fine. 3288 02:31:40.760 --> 02:31:44.239 First of all. Second of all, limes are oblong. You 3289 02:31:44.360 --> 02:31:47.559 throw a baseball as a perfectly circular ball with seams. 3290 02:31:47.600 --> 02:31:49.920 Why would you want an oblong shaped fruit? Wouldn't you 3291 02:31:49.920 --> 02:31:51.000 want something more circular? 3292 02:31:51.079 --> 02:31:53.479 Like I'd say, like maybe even you know, because kind 3293 02:31:53.520 --> 02:31:56.959 of tomatoes fit into that category two? So maybe like tomatoes, Yeah, 3294 02:31:57.200 --> 02:32:00.479 I mean because because it's all though. That's the problem 3295 02:32:00.559 --> 02:32:03.319 is that, like you know, you can only grip it so, 3296 02:32:03.760 --> 02:32:06.319 you know, so hard, because then you know it could 3297 02:32:06.399 --> 02:32:08.520 squish in your hand and you're like, oh man, damn, 3298 02:32:08.559 --> 02:32:09.639 I didn't really get to throw that. 3299 02:32:09.920 --> 02:32:11.280 Mangoes are maybe too big. 3300 02:32:12.280 --> 02:32:14.520 I think a kiwi is the point is the best 3301 02:32:14.559 --> 02:32:17.920 thing here, because a kiwi is close enough to being round. 3302 02:32:18.200 --> 02:32:21.680 It is dense with the fruit inside and the ship 3303 02:32:21.760 --> 02:32:24.000 and that the shell. What's the the I don't know, 3304 02:32:24.079 --> 02:32:26.040 you know what I'm talking about the outside of the 3305 02:32:26.120 --> 02:32:29.799 key husk. The yeah Kiwi husk is uh is thick 3306 02:32:29.879 --> 02:32:32.200 enough to where you can dig your your fingers into it. 3307 02:32:32.639 --> 02:32:35.799 Interesting. Interesting. I wonder if Josh Miller would have a 3308 02:32:35.799 --> 02:32:36.559 good take on this. 3309 02:32:36.719 --> 02:32:37.479 That's a good idea. 3310 02:32:37.600 --> 02:32:39.920 Yeah, you know, maybe that's the if I ever, you know, 3311 02:32:40.040 --> 02:32:42.799 run into him, is be like, hey, Josh, look not 3312 02:32:42.840 --> 02:32:44.920 for nothing here, damn Matthews.

That'd be a hell 3316 02:32:53.319 --> 02:32:56.920 of a first impression, that god question. Maybe I would 3317 02:32:56.920 --> 02:32:58.840 actually think, you know, if any of the astros who 3318 02:32:58.840 --> 02:33:02.600 could answer that question, the clubhouse, arrag Getty probably would 3319 02:33:02.600 --> 02:33:04.120 be the guy that would think about it the most. 3320 02:33:04.719 --> 02:33:07.280 It wasn't Asky. Those two guys would actually have a legitate, 3321 02:33:07.399 --> 02:33:10.440 right Ryan Stanek back in the day have been phenomenal. 3322 02:33:10.600 --> 02:33:10.920 Yeah. 3323 02:33:11.000 --> 02:33:13.040 Yeah, Notice I wouldn't go to Ryan Presley with that 3324 02:33:13.079 --> 02:33:16.520 because I think press just glare you down.

We've been a lot 3389 02:36:01.079 --> 02:36:04.159 of astros today and haven't had a chance much to 3390 02:36:04.399 --> 02:36:06.040 be able to give the flowers to a guy that 3391 02:36:06.159 --> 02:36:09.159 at times last year took it on the chin from 3392 02:36:09.399 --> 02:36:13.120 some of our callers and from some of Astro's Twitter, dude, 3393 02:36:13.200 --> 02:36:15.639 I mean, how much more do you have to see 3394 02:36:15.680 --> 02:36:17.799 from this pitching staff the better part of the last 3395 02:36:17.799 --> 02:36:20.319 two and a half years than to say, oh, Josh 3396 02:36:20.319 --> 02:36:21.360 Miller knows what he's doing. 3397 02:36:21.559 --> 02:36:22.719 They're good. They're really good. 3398 02:36:22.719 --> 02:36:26.440 They're good from an organizational standpoint all the way up. 3399 02:36:26.680 --> 02:36:29.440 And there are organizations that are terrible at this, the 3400 02:36:29.520 --> 02:36:33.120 Rockies being the biggest one that don't know how to 3401 02:36:33.120 --> 02:36:35.319 develop pitchers and the Astros. Do you have guys that 3402 02:36:35.479 --> 02:36:37.440 have come out of nowhere, you have guys that are 3403 02:36:37.440 --> 02:36:41.000 waiver claims. You have guys that they just get from pluck, 3404 02:36:41.040 --> 02:36:44.520 from wherever, and they turn them into useful pictures. Taylor Scott. 3405 02:36:44.559 --> 02:36:48.719 It's a great example career nine era, great year circle 3406 02:36:48.760 --> 02:36:51.600 of trust last year. Obviously it hasn't worked out this year. 3407 02:36:51.600 --> 02:36:54.440 And it's relievers right like they have a shelf life 3408 02:36:54.479 --> 02:36:58.159 one and year to year. There's so much volatility in 3409 02:36:58.200 --> 02:37:00.319 the relief game that you never know if is going 3410 02:37:00.360 --> 02:37:02.600 to be good or not. Steven Okert, I know last 3411 02:37:02.680 --> 02:37:05.319 night whatever, coming out of nowhere. He's a guy that 3412 02:37:05.600 --> 02:37:07.879 they just picked up on, you know, on a minor 3413 02:37:07.920 --> 02:37:11.600 league deal. Brian King late round pick out of nowhere, 3414 02:37:11.719 --> 02:37:14.600 non prospect. He is their seventh inning guy right now. 3415 02:37:14.639 --> 02:37:18.319 Like they have done a great job turning random guys 3416 02:37:18.319 --> 02:37:20.159 that you would never believe are going to be good 3417 02:37:20.200 --> 02:37:23.520 pitchers into useful players. Yeah, I mean, you know you 3418 02:37:23.559 --> 02:37:26.440 mentioned Okret this year being another kind of reclamation project. 3419 02:37:26.479 --> 02:37:29.159 I mean, hell, last year you say Kakuchi of having 3420 02:37:29.200 --> 02:37:31.239 all the struggles he had there in Toronto, and then 3421 02:37:31.280 --> 02:37:32.840 he gets here and they're like, yeah, that change up 3422 02:37:32.879 --> 02:37:34.319 that you've got, throw that a little bit more and 3423 02:37:34.319 --> 02:37:36.159 it's going to help you. And then sure enough he did, 3424 02:37:36.200 --> 02:37:38.399 and it got him a nice little deal after the offseason. 3425 02:37:38.559 --> 02:37:39.639 They fixed him immediately. 3426 02:37:39.760 --> 02:37:42.520 It was like one start, they're like, hey, by the way, 3427 02:37:42.959 --> 02:37:45.120 you have a four seam fastball that needs to. 3428 02:37:45.040 --> 02:37:45.840 Be up in the zone. 3429 02:37:45.879 --> 02:37:47.719 I don't know why the Angels told you to throw 3430 02:37:47.719 --> 02:37:50.040 it low in the zone, but stop doing that. And 3431 02:37:50.079 --> 02:37:52.000 then he goes out and as a two seventy era 3432 02:37:52.239 --> 02:37:55.840 because they fixed like two minor things like stop throwing 3433 02:37:55.879 --> 02:37:58.959 your curveball, throw this more fastball needs to be up 3434 02:37:58.959 --> 02:38:01.159 in the zone. And then it's such an easy face, 3435 02:38:01.200 --> 02:38:03.719 such a fix that makes sense. You're sitting there and 3436 02:38:03.760 --> 02:38:06.719 going like, why are the Angels stupid? Why are they 3437 02:38:06.920 --> 02:38:09.680 looking at this guy that there are the Angels? 3438 02:38:09.680 --> 02:38:12.559 Sorry the blue Jay? Why are the signed with the Angels? 3439 02:38:12.600 --> 02:38:14.600 Why are the blue Jays stupid that they're looking at 3440 02:38:14.600 --> 02:38:17.920 this guy and they know that all the metrics show 3441 02:38:17.959 --> 02:38:19.840 that he should be throwing his fast behind the zone 3442 02:38:19.840 --> 02:38:21.440 and they just don't have him do that. 3443 02:38:22.280 --> 02:38:23.559 Why? 3444 02:38:23.680 --> 02:38:26.799 Yeah, some things that are just incredibly mind boggling in 3445 02:38:26.879 --> 02:38:29.520 terms of, you know, how organizations run their things. But 3446 02:38:29.760 --> 02:38:32.280 I mean, obviously the Astros, I mean you touched on it. 3447 02:38:32.319 --> 02:38:34.639 I mean there's an organizational standard. Hey, this is how 3448 02:38:34.639 --> 02:38:36.799 we handle our pictures. This is how we do it. 3449 02:38:36.920 --> 02:38:38.680 This is you know, how we take guys from where 3450 02:38:38.719 --> 02:38:41.399 they are and get them to overhear. And I mean 3451 02:38:41.479 --> 02:38:43.920 that's something that he's got a hard enough job on, 3452 02:38:44.120 --> 02:38:45.959 you know, the thirteen guys that he's got, But then 3453 02:38:46.000 --> 02:38:47.760 you factor in all of the other guys that have 3454 02:38:47.799 --> 02:38:49.959 had to make spot starts for you, Guys that have 3455 02:38:50.000 --> 02:38:52.760 come up for you and seemingly been able to kind 3456 02:38:52.760 --> 02:38:55.239 of pick up from where they left off there at 3457 02:38:55.600 --> 02:38:58.200 Corpus or sugar Land or wherever whenever they get them 3458 02:38:58.239 --> 02:38:58.559 up here. 3459 02:38:58.719 --> 02:39:00.479 And there's so many guys that they have to deal 3460 02:39:00.520 --> 02:39:02.959 with and just know this is how this guy fits 3461 02:39:02.959 --> 02:39:05.280 into the system. And then they all have their unique 3462 02:39:05.280 --> 02:39:08.280 tendencies and the different things they do, and they do 3463 02:39:08.360 --> 02:39:11.159 teach certain things, right, So a lot of their pitchers, 3464 02:39:11.399 --> 02:39:15.239 they want them to learn the fastball that Christian Haavier throws, 3465 02:39:15.319 --> 02:39:17.959 the rising quote unquote rising fastball, the. 3466 02:39:18.000 --> 02:39:21.719 High vaa vaaaa. 3467 02:39:20.760 --> 02:39:24.719 If you want to go fastball, the above average vertical 3468 02:39:24.920 --> 02:39:28.639 attack angle, above average fastball, and so Aarraghetti throws that 3469 02:39:28.799 --> 02:39:31.319 kind of a fastball. They have a kid in Tripa 3470 02:39:31.440 --> 02:39:34.719 right now, Miguel Iola, who throws that kind of a fastball. 3471 02:39:35.040 --> 02:39:37.920 And then they teach the different sweeper and all the 3472 02:39:38.200 --> 02:39:41.399 you know, the things that fit into what a modern 3473 02:39:41.440 --> 02:39:43.760 pitcher is today. They have been among the best in 3474 02:39:43.840 --> 02:39:46.840 baseball at doing this for years and years, and they 3475 02:39:46.840 --> 02:39:49.920 have turned non prospects JP France in twenty twenty three 3476 02:39:50.239 --> 02:39:54.200 into viable major league pitchers. Though nothing bad to say 3477 02:39:54.239 --> 02:39:57.719 about the Astros pitching coaches and the Astros pitching development, 3478 02:39:58.399 --> 02:40:02.239 Brandon Walter perfect exa ample guy that they signed off 3479 02:40:02.280 --> 02:40:05.239 the street and said, hey, tweak this because remember we 3480 02:40:05.239 --> 02:40:06.319 were talking about him yesterday. 3481 02:40:06.319 --> 02:40:07.280 You asked me, what does he have? 3482 02:40:07.319 --> 02:40:09.760 Well, I'm looking at his twenty twenty three usage and 3483 02:40:09.799 --> 02:40:12.440 he's a sinker sweeper guy. Well, last night he was 3484 02:40:12.479 --> 02:40:15.120 throwing different stuff. They came in and said, stop doing this. 3485 02:40:15.239 --> 02:40:17.719 Start doing this. Five scoreless innings, first time in the 3486 02:40:17.760 --> 02:40:19.360 majors this year, signed off the street. 3487 02:40:19.479 --> 02:40:20.520 They're good at their jobs. 3488 02:40:20.680 --> 02:40:24.120 How amazing is it too, that you know, you talked 3489 02:40:24.120 --> 02:40:26.879 about him being a crafty lefty last night and I see, 3490 02:40:27.159 --> 02:40:29.840 you know, he's ninety ninety one somewhere around there, And 3491 02:40:29.879 --> 02:40:31.680 it's like there was a time where it's like, oh, 3492 02:40:31.680 --> 02:40:33.959 that's not bad for a lefty. Now it's like you're 3493 02:40:34.000 --> 02:40:37.239 throwing that like it's almost like when we were growing up. 3494 02:40:37.479 --> 02:40:39.559 I'd be somebody throwing in like the mid to high 3495 02:40:39.559 --> 02:40:42.120 eighties at that point, and it doesn't seem like it's 3496 02:40:42.200 --> 02:40:44.520 much of a difference. But it's like, no, like now 3497 02:40:44.600 --> 02:40:47.600 like ninety five is an average fastball, Like back then 3498 02:40:47.639 --> 02:40:50.639 it was like ninety two was. It's it's amazing to think, 3499 02:40:50.680 --> 02:40:52.000 like how much like that's grown. 3500 02:40:52.159 --> 02:40:53.120 The game has changed. 3501 02:40:53.200 --> 02:40:57.440 And there's a Code of five baseball who I nail 3502 02:40:57.600 --> 02:41:00.159 all the time for their Tony Gwyn obsession. Actually, he 3503 02:41:00.200 --> 02:41:02.319 put out a really good chart. I forgot what day 3504 02:41:02.319 --> 02:41:05.600 it was recently, but it was basically average slugging and 3505 02:41:05.719 --> 02:41:09.959 ops against certain velocity fastballs, and it goes down from 3506 02:41:10.000 --> 02:41:12.600 eighty whatever all the way up to one hundred. And 3507 02:41:12.639 --> 02:41:15.399 you can see that every one to two ticks up 3508 02:41:15.440 --> 02:41:18.000 on a fastball, it gets harder and harder to hit. 3509 02:41:18.079 --> 02:41:20.280 So for all these little league dads that are like you, 3510 02:41:20.399 --> 02:41:22.319 go out there and beat Greg Maddox and I don't 3511 02:41:22.319 --> 02:41:25.319 care how hard you throw it. Velocity doesn't matter. Just 3512 02:41:25.399 --> 02:41:28.559 throw strikes and just try to paint the corners wrong. 3513 02:41:28.879 --> 02:41:31.559 There's a reason that pitchers in Major League Baseball chase 3514 02:41:31.639 --> 02:41:35.200 velocity because the number show the harder you throw doesn't 3515 02:41:35.200 --> 02:41:36.000 matter where. 3516 02:41:35.799 --> 02:41:37.639 It is, the harder it is to hit. 3517 02:41:37.760 --> 02:41:41.000 So yes, guys throwing ninety seven are gonna do better 3518 02:41:41.000 --> 02:41:42.159 than guys throwing ninety three. 3519 02:41:42.319 --> 02:41:44.360 Man, we didn't get to the guy that you know 3520 02:41:44.479 --> 02:41:46.479 is traveling in the world with his cat right now. 3521 02:41:46.520 --> 02:41:49.440 But luckily Gordy's a cat guy, and Gordy's in with 3522 02:41:49.440 --> 02:41:50.360 me and I'm a cat guy. 3523 02:41:50.479 --> 02:41:53.319 Well there you go.
