Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Say, okay, let's do this. Sewn Salisbury, the USC Truths,
longtime friend Shawn Salisbury, Bryan Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sewan
Salisbury show. Raining outside. Gottalove those people that love to drive with

(00:25):
their hazards on and let me getthat for you. Was it was it
rain in that hard? Wasn't rainingthat hard when I got here early,
so people had their hazards on evenyeah, because I was coming down from
the north side and then got moretowards the east side where it was monthsooning
outside really oh yeah, yeah.We gotta love people that drive with their

(00:47):
hazards on and stay in the fathline. Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
I love that man. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Well draft concluded,
sure did. Got some wins forthe Astros and with the Astros fromer Valdez
return hopefully his uh whatever he hadgoing on. Yeah, I mean the

(01:11):
kind of injury or whatever that was, lack of mri Josea bra you had
two hits and then goes over again. Joey Loperfio got the call up.
Yep, I call him Lopo.Heard they call him Jalo, But can
we could you could you not burythe lead what's the lead and not bury
Bray he drove in two runs,he did, and Bregman hit a ball

(01:34):
that was over one hundred and fivemiles an hour. Oh good, like
a buck eight. Call him Texas. He's back. Yeah, So I
mean, let's go, don't so, you know, get when they win,
you gotta you gotta judge. Wehaven't had too many two game win
streaks this year. Here, Noin Houston. Are they back? Uh?
Tell today they're back? I meanback of town, so we were.

(01:57):
I'm gonna tread lightly on this andfind out where they go. But
listen, I understand where what thealtitude is. And the fans had a
blast. There was awesome crowds andthey put a show you know from Altuve
homer in and paynya homer in anda couple from Jordan that were smoked,
Tucker. What it does is youstill have to put the bat on the

(02:19):
ball. It doesn't just fly tothe ballpark if you don't hit it.
And you got Blanco who continues tobe the horse of this staff man right
now. He just does and asVerlander rolls into it, that'll obviously help
as well. He continues to getmore work but I got to put the
bat on the ball. But atleast even then, there's still got to
be a little bit of confidence.Okay, we hit the ball on the
ballpark, scored some runs, andagainst the team you're supposed to beat.

(02:43):
So it was a healthy weekend,needless to say for them. Yeah,
I saw tons and tons and tonsof Ashros fans made the trip down to
Mexico City. Why not. Yeah, go enjoy and then you get to
come away with a couple wins,So I think that's great. Yeah,
that ballpark was packed all weekend long. And it's it's crazy what the altitude
does to a baseball series down inMexico City because balls are flying out left

(03:07):
and right. Yeah, they surewere, and it uh but but it
also that's got to be a littleconfidence. It means you're hitting it.
And if it goes normally to gofour to ten and ends up four to
sixty, that's a good thing,or four twenty to four sixty. But
it's uh, it's important for thisteam now to ride that into now playing
a good team and with Cleveland herewith three and they're not they're they're they're

(03:31):
not gonna be easy, and thatwould help to come in here and take
this series at home, in frontof the home crowd and give them a
reason to want to keep showing upat the ballpark. I'm not here to
say that the Astros are back tobeing who the Astros are, but you
saw signs of some good play,and you know, whether it's defensively or

(03:53):
hitting the ball hard and putting runnersacross and guys that haven't been hitting very
well this year at least into theact. So it was a good it's
a good weekend. Can you imaginecoming away with two losses how you'd feel
today if that would have happened inMexico City. So while I noticed some
it felt like, oh, it'sa it's a party, and it's not
to the players, but it's justkind of a it feels like an exhibition,

(04:16):
but it's not. They count andthe fans of Mexico City were awesome,
and he come away with two winsand they count. So I think
that's great for them. But there'sa lot of work to do. Needless
to say, I just want tothrow this out here. I just want
to throw it out yesterday. BrianAbray, you, Ryan Presley, Josh
Hater, didn't give up a run. Yeah, And I was about to

(04:38):
write before you said, I wasabout to say, and a braid.
He was pumping it up high nineties, didn't he He might have hit one
hundred once. I'm not sure,but it was his fastball was in the
I mean he brought it and didn'tI think he struck out the side and
I mean he was. I meanmaybe I'm wrong, maybe I dreamt it.
And he struck out two of themto get out of that. There
there you go. And I thinkhe was upper nineties when he was on

(04:59):
a fastball, So that looked morelike in the couple outs that I saw.
I didn't watch all nine innings ofboth games. A lot going on,
you know. Sometimes the weekend yougot to get away from it.
Maybe that's a good thing. Butthey everybody got into the act at some
point during the series, which ispretty good. Yeah. Ryan Presley struck
out two as well, and JoshHater won. So good to see those

(05:23):
three get through without giving up arun, especially when runs were being scored
left right, at least from theAstros perspective. They scored eight in yesterday's
game, and then they scored twelvein the game before that, they won
twelve to four, so good tosee that. And then on what Saturday,

(05:45):
Renel Blanco pitched well again five andtwo thirds, five hits, two
runs, eight k's just two walks. Trey Gabbage got in the ball game.
He just got called up, sogood to see him swinging. He
had an RBI double his first atbat, went went opo to the the
gap and left center and drove itto the wall and got himself an RBI
and double. It was great,it was that's a good way to start.

(06:10):
Make you feel pretty good about it, man. And the ball was
roped and it was great to seehim up. So you bring Trey Cabbage
up, let him play. Uhnow you're bringing up Joey Loperfito. He'll
be with the team tomorrow. Idon't know if you saw over the weekend,
but uh, force Whitley back onthe I l again. Yeah,
it's I don't I don't want tobury the guy. I'm sure it's hard

(06:36):
on him. He's never You're nevergoing to see his false potential. I
hate to say it, elbow sorenessor elbow discomfort. I should say,
well, you know, you knowwhat that normally means at least the consideration
of it. Obviously he'll probably getan MRI. I would imagine, so
discomfort and the elbow. It's sucha bummer, and you know, you

(06:58):
still hold out hope it may notbe here that the guy at least lasts
in the Major League gets a chancefor it to happen. Sometimes it's just
not meant to happen, and thisvenue may be somewhere else or with this
team, and who knows what hiscareer is going to turn out to be.
It just sucks, it does,and you're hoping that this is the
one time that, you know,the one year where it finally all comes
together. And with that al bowsness, you're probably not going to see him.

(07:23):
Depending on how severe it is,you may not see him up here
much the rest of the time.So I don't know how severe. I
don't know what the article says,but I saw it and just like,
it's so disheartening for him. Yeah, it just is. And it doesn't
always work the way you wanted tofor everybody, and I hate to see
it. But I felt like thiswas a year he had to move one
way or the other. And Idon't know what the future is here,

(07:46):
but I hope that he can getout there and pitch again. That would
suck. Yeah, and I'm assumingwith him being on the AL that's I
don't know, it's what ten dayIL, I guess with minor league.
Yeah, yeah, it's a bummer, just a bummer, yeah, just

(08:07):
I mean it doesn't really say muchand a couple of these different articles just
that he's got elbow discomfort and hehas placed on the minor league IL.
So who knows. Man. Imean, we saw fromer Valdez go out
with elbow soreness and he did notget an MRI. Fortwilly being quote unquote
one of your top prospects, I'massuming will get an MRI, and he

(08:28):
pitched well in Triple A after coming, he made his debut, goes back
down, gets reps in, pitcheswell, and boom, another injury.
Been the story of his unfortunate procareer. It just has it's a bummer.
So I don't know what else tosay about it, because I'm not
a doctor. I don't you know. We have how many times this feels
like groundhog Day for him And I'mnot making fun of it. I would

(08:52):
suck having been through injuries and knowthat the grind to get back. But
his career has just been the procareer has been marred by it, and
you know you can't help it.Root for him, but I don't,
at least looking ahead, I don'tknow what the future holds for him and
how much you can expect from himif you're a fan, let alone the
organization. Is this a thing likewhere he needs a change of scenery or

(09:16):
is this just how it's going tobe from well, he's probably well,
I don't know, he's probably goingto get one at some point. I
just you've they've invested a lot ofmoney in time, but how long do
you ride it out? And it'slisten, sometimes you can train as hard
or as smart as you want,and the body's just maybe his body's not
cut out for the grind. Idon't know, but he's he's gained weight,

(09:37):
he's lost weight, he's gotten stronger, he's changed mechanics, he's I
mean everything you I mean emotionally andmentally. I mean imagine the different waves
he's been through, big and small. So you know, at some point
in time, maybe maybe he needs, you know, the rabbit's foot to
take him somewhere else, and maybeit'll turn out that way. We've seen
some incredible comebacks in pro sports atsome point in time, and he'll be

(10:00):
easy to root for. But Iwould imagine you're gonna tread lightly on how
much you invest in it. Andthat's just the sad facts and truth.
It's too bad. I hope itheals quickly, and I hope it's not
serious. Yeah, I mean howmuch longer? You know? I hope
it doesn't require surgery. Yeah,Well, because if it does, and
that's he's Yeah, I mean theAshers would have to move on at that
point. Yeah, no doubt,and then who knows what what it looks

(10:22):
like for the rest of his careerafter that, So we'll have to wait
and see. And again, there'sgonna have to be a corresponding move with
Joey Loberfiedo being called up. Sowhat does that look like? I mean,
could it who you're gonna send down? I gotta dude, they're running
out of they're running out of bodiesto send back to tripa A. Could
it be Sean dubin one of thepictures. I mean, I don't know,

(10:43):
man, there's so many moving partshere. Over the last week or
so because of the struggles and injuriesand guys being brought up and sent back
down and who's got options and whodoesn't You brought up trade Cabbage he gets
in, surely you're not gonna bringYou're not gonna send him back down.
So but I like the fact thatyou're seeing a couple. You know,
I know that Cabbage has some bigleague experience, you know a little bit

(11:07):
of it, and bringing Low Perfitoup, you're getting some some new and
young guys that are having a chanceto make their mark. And it's a
good thing. We saw the youknow with the Ironer d is his his
you know, that young player comingin last year and making his mark and
being a huge impact player. Andnow look, I mean he's their fixture.
So maybe you'll discover that in LowPerfito and maybe Cabbage and and you

(11:31):
know, you can start to putsome of these young guys and you know,
stick them in the lineup and trustthem and give them a chance for
an extended time, kind of likeyou have done wisdom veterans that have struggled
and let them work their way throughit. It's a very slippery slope on
You always find out too about themental and emotional toughness of a young player
if he struggles, because they're allgoing to struggle at some point, and

(11:52):
how much you trust them to getthrough it and just keep playing, like,
Hey, no big deal, Ihit it, you know, snap
hook to drive. But I'm arookie on tour. I can still go
make you know, make shots.And that'll be the same thing with these
guys that to play. So Ithink it's good, good time to weave
them in and see if you can, if you can get something out.
I'm anxious to see how this worksout for a couple of these guys.
Yeah, low Berfeudo getting the callup. We'll look at him and how

(12:13):
he could fit in with his lineup. That's next in Sports Talk. Seveninety
were the Shawn Salisbury Show continued.Oh two again round ball fielded by Hater
in the front of slope of themale jocks. Part of way to birst
underhands to it Gray you and thatis the ball game. The Houston Astros
break out the Brooms in Mexico City, sweeping this two game series from the

(12:37):
Colorado Rockies, winning today by afinal of eight to two. That's how
it sounded on the broadcast, RobertFord and Steve Sparks. Can hear all
your Astros coverage every game right hereon Sports Talk seven on your home for
Astros Baseball. You're listening to theSeawan Salisbury Show, Shawn Salisbury, Brian
Limamanuel Elmore Astros of the serious sweepof the Rockies in Mexico City. They're

(12:58):
off today, they host the guardArdians tomorrow. Joey lo Berfido being called
up from Triple A NFL Draft comesto a close. We'll go through all
of the Texans pick throughout the weekend, starting at seven o'clock this morning.
Also some news from Tank Dell.He was shot being an innocent bystander after

(13:20):
a fight at a Florida nightclub.So we'll dig into that and all the
Texans news at seven o'clock this morning. Did you think that maybe the club
scene hoping he's gonna be okay?Obviously correct, Yeah, he's already released
in the hospital. But starting toget to the thinking, ain't much the

(13:41):
good that happens at the club scene. You go there, I mean,
honestly, and we all, youknow, we all like to go out
and have fun and you know,get you know, have some thump and
some and some dancing and all that, and you could keep your bottle servicing
in for me. But you getmy point? Yeah, is uh,
it just seems like there's more troublethan it's worth. Honestly, there's not

(14:01):
enough laughs to go wrong where somebody'sgonna try to bust a cap in your
ass in a night club accident ornot. Hell, you do walking in
it. If you got to walkinto it. Here's the third way I
look at it anywhere and all that'sdon't let the old man, and that's
fine. You know what, oldmen don't want to get shot either.
Okay, you need to do youngones. And regardless, it goes back
to the old what happens good aftermidnight. I don't even know when it

(14:24):
happened. My point is is,if you've got to bring a gun to
a club, you shouldn't go inthe club. I'm not saying tank Dale,
I'm talking about any If you've gotto bring a gun to a club,
that club needs to be shut down, in a lockdown and blown up
with nobody in it. Does thatmake sense? Yeah? So I don't.
I just don't know what the Andit's just it's the frustration of how
but I guess we can say thateverywhere in society. Hell, we'd have

(14:46):
to close down all the schools becausewe've got nut jobs there, clubs,
churches. I mean, good grayand I'm a don't misunderstand me. I'm
not talking about saying people who aregun supporters. I mean protect yourself.
I get it. But you goout that night, you go to a
club, you go to church,you go to school, and we got
to worry about some nut job carryingit in there. I mean, if

(15:07):
that's the case, you better puta metal detector on every single thing we
do, which is another burden,But you know what a burden that prevents
somebody from going in there and gettingshot on a stray bullet, no pun
intended on the straight thing that wekid about. It's just to me,
I woke when I saw that.It's like when when is there? Like

(15:28):
if I got to go and doa club with a gun, then then
there's probably not a club I needto be in. There can't be that
much fun there. It cannot beworth it. Do you know how old
the kid was that shot that startedshooting? Probably what's seventeen sixteen sixteen?
And what's he doing in the club? It was outside of the club.
Oh so he's waiting fight and thenyou break the g out, yeah,

(15:48):
into the street, so we nolonger have to settle it the old fashioned
way. You want to throw down, dude, like hockey, drop the
gloves, throw down, and getyour ass to the penalty box and move
on. This is this is thisis just groundhog day too. It's nothing
new. We've been who hasn't beensaying this forever. But if you're gonna

(16:10):
fight, fight and don't have fifteenpeople, kick one guy, okay.
If you're gonna throw down, throwdown and keep it moving, okay,
you knock a tooth out, bloodyyour nose and take your ass home and
sober up and move on to thenext one. It's just it's it's it's
crazy to me, but I digress. But thank goodness, Tank Dell is
healthy. But you get to apoint where you asked me to go to

(16:32):
a I'm talking about a club.Club, whether it's Vegas, Georgia,
Houston, or anywhere else. I'llsee at the house you can come to.
I'll make the club. Mind.I got good music and the rest
of them. And you can drinkand fall asleep without driving. And uh,
nobody's gonna be wheeling the gun outon the patio. They may have
somebody tried to come and bother atthe house, but you're not gonna be
doing that at the house. Ijust, I just it's it's it's wild

(16:56):
to me where we are with this. You can't even go to a club.
Hey, what happened? I said, Oh, I had a few
drinks and somebody got shot right outsideit on a fight. Yeah, it's
it's such a coward move, right, such a coward move But this is
speaking of it, talking about theGroundhog day, us having to talk about
it. Yeah, exactly, notfor Tank Dell, but for oh somebody

(17:17):
got in a fight and shot somebody. Yeah, tough guy, it's my
favorite, real tough guy. Sixteenyears old. Yeah, sixteen year old
needs an ass whooping of epic proportionto prevent him from taking a gun and
wait for people outside the club gettinga fight. Let's run and get it,
stupid crazy. Yeah. Ten peoplewere wounded after that, of course,
of course, yeaheah, of coursethey were. And I'm sure not

(17:40):
real wounded by not wounded by afist to the head or a fist to
the face or a bloodied nose,but wounded because of well, somebody's got
a gun, right, Yeah,that always works well at a club when
everybody's drinking walking outside the club.Yeah, pad lock it up and move
on. Yeah. Yeah, it'snot good, not good. It all
situation with what Tank Dell and thoseother people had to go through at a

(18:07):
private event, and Sanford, Floridawill will dig more into it. The
Texans released and official statement and thecondition on UH Tank Dell after that scary
night Saturday for the wide receiver forthe Texans. That's coming up at seven
o'clock this morning, seven one,three ninety the number join if you want
to get in UH. The astrois going to bring up Joey Loper Feedo

(18:30):
finally, Sean. A lot ofpeople have been wanting him to be brought
up. He hit his minor leagueleading thirteenth home run yesterday. The dude
just absolutely crushing the baseball in tripleA. I'll be honest with you,
I don't care. I don't carehow many times he's striking out right now.
Hopefully over his career that'll improve contactand putting the ball in play.

(18:52):
That's not just a home run,but when you're hitting the ball like that,
meaning the power part of that batin a time when people crave it,
well, it's amazing they I mean, I'd rather see a strikeout than
somebody move somebody over. So ifthat's the way we're going about it,
guess what you need to do.Come up here. Let's see if he's
got that same power at this level. And if he strikes out, he

(19:15):
strikes out a good experience for himto learn. I'm anxious to see how
he hits big league pitching. Ireally am. He's mashing, man,
He's goshing thirteen bombs, twenty sevenRBIs, five stolen bags. He's sitting
two eighty seven, on base percentageof three ninety three, and a slugging
is seven thirteen. That's good foran eleven hundred oh ps. So guess
what if you were those numbers tellme the strikeouts be damned. Goes,

(19:36):
go up and swing the bat.Let's see if he can apply that here
as well. Thirty seven strikeouts inone hundred and one hundred and one at
bats. That's two that's a thirdof the time. Yeah it's too much.
Yeah that's too much, but it'sover thirty. Look at the slugging
and the on base percentage, andif batting average is pushing two ninety,
he's still getting on base. Rightwe do when we say about Bregman all
the time, doesn't if he's nothitting home on, what's he always does

(19:57):
base? That's exactly right. Sogive me that guy. I'm okay with
it, and hopefully over the courseof time, you know, lowering the
strikeouts and command of the strike zoneand realizing that you're probably not going to
hit it. You know, you'reprobably not going to hit fifty home runs
on a regular basis at the majorleague level, so you got to put
the ball in play to drive andruns. But listen with those numbers.

(20:19):
The truth is, when you getto a point where you're dominating the Triple
A level, you have to comeup and see what he's got, right,
Absolutely have to, yes, especiallywhen as a hole ad first one
else is he learning on minor leI mean, okay, I know he's
striking out a lot, but thetruth of the matters, some guys are
just built that way, and maybeover the course of time a more disciplined
hitter that he'll be able to Youknow, obviously, I would assure you

(20:42):
that he probably sits around saying Idon't want to strike out that much either,
But right now in triple A,the payoff is look at the numbers.
Honestly, Okay, you strike outa third of the time, but
when he's putting the ball in play, it's it's good things are happening,
and those numbers you don't want to. You slow the process down if you
let him sit there. And it'slike having a sixteen year old playing.

(21:03):
You know, are somebody who's sogood in the little league, You're like,
get this kid to high school.Yeah, but you know what I'm
saying, he's just too good forthis group. He's not getting any better.
He's dominating this group. Yes,he can get better with contact,
but when he's he's a grown assman playing right now the way he's swinging
the bat. So let's get himup here and see what happens. And
I can tell you this, youcan use more power in certain parts of
the lineup right now. It elevatedin Mexico City, but they're going to

(21:26):
need that, especially after their start, and hopefully you know, you're always
looking for that guy to come upand stay up, you know, and
if not, at least he getssome experience swinging the bat. What's going
to be the corresponding move for theHouston Astros. Is there any chance any
chance you could see jose A brayou be in DFAD. We'll talk about
that next Sean. I need topaint it up yet. Paint me at

(21:47):
Birmingham. Yeah, I did aboutthat. Some paint guy gets some paint
well like that too. Paint meat Birmingham and quite frankly sort of pro
paint them. It is magical andthat's that's why you want that Birmingham painted
just kind of comes to life.And that's what they've done. As a
customer at my house, curt ofPro made my homecome to life and it
was new and I asked them tocome in and paint it. Now.

(22:07):

it's your hometown San Diego team.Yeah, this is my town now.
So that's a Montgomery gentry song.Yeah, I listened to Montgomery Gentry coming
into that. Yeah, the what'sthe cut, lucky man? Uh huh,
Lord knows I'm a lucky man.That cut. Yeah, Montgomery gentry
is underrated, very underrated. AndI'll tell you what the Lord's done.

(26:15):
Give me a pretty fast fair hand. Yeah exactly. I got food in
the oven, a good woman's loving. Yeah, there you go. What
else you want? And the ticker'sticking like they say it should, old
pickup truck. Good matter fact,we got it? Can we can we
step in Montgomery gentry? Lucky manmondays, it's a plethora. It is.

(26:38):
It's all requests live on Monday morningson the Sean Salisbury Show. Ye,
how about that word let's talk toRonnie. Ronnie, what's happening.
Hey, morning, guys. I'msurprised to hear about Little Braffito being called
up, and I'm kind of gladto see it, but we need to
temper our enthusiasm about him because he'sbeen hitting the ball in Albuquerque, Reno,

(27:03):
lost wages, you know, andhe's going to El Paso this week
where the air is rare, asthe old DJs used to say, rarefied
air, So you know what,you got to be careful. And I
don't understand. And I called Gordyyesterday because I couldn't figure out why they
brought Cabbage up because the rules,the Manford rule, wouldn't let him bring

(27:26):
up a picture for the twenty seventhman. So they're gonna have to get
down to twenty six and then makethe corresponding move to bring Little Braffito up.
So is it going to be aBray? Is it going to be
Singleton be released? Because you knowif they won't, he won't go down.
He'll he'll want to be DFA sohe can try to look on somewhere

(27:47):
else. Or would it even beCassinger, because you know Dubon would then
be your backup utility infielder because littlePerffito can play center field and first base
in the outfield. And also,I want to ask Sean how you feel
about the Texans getting two sc boys. I love it. Got two Trojans,
got a Notre Dame fighting Irish,got an Ohio State Buckeye for a

(28:11):
team that didn't have a first roundthat's a B plus a minus type game
there that. I think they dida great job. So yeah, I
always love it. Get the troll, get all those Trojans in here,
see if they can't help out.So I thought it was. They did
an excellent job over the weekend andadded some depth that they needed tight end
position, got to help in theback end and offensive line depth, which

(28:32):
is a good thing. Yeah,that's great. It's interesting when you look
at the way offensive linemen are draftednow. I remember years ago when the
Steelers they used to draft a lotof shorter guys to play the offensive line.
Shorter, you know, I guess, stocky guys to play their guard
positions when they ran the ball allthe time. You know, with this

(28:56):
is going back as far as Franco, So it's interesting to see the body
build of this guy from Notre Dameand because a lot of the some people
are saying that he may play guardinstead of tackle, although that's what he
is as a tackle me. Soit'll be interesting to see. Yeah,
thank you. It'll be interesting tosee, you know, how they use

(29:18):
him, what they do with him. And when you draft bring in nine
guys, what's the over under onhow many of them actually end up making
the team. And I'll let youguys go. Thanks a bunch, appreciate
it, Ronnie, thank you.Yeah, that good over under. Your
team's built, like I said,between rounds two and six or so,
and they're going to have to hit. You expect the first round picks to

(29:41):
hit, and they're no first roundof this year. But you replace them
with the Stefan Diggs and D'aneil Hunter. So you've got guys that can play.
Obviously. Now it's but you didn'tyou draft them all to make it?
Reality says, what they've got ninepicks? Is that right? Is
that what they had believe the ninepicks? Give me the over on Let's

(30:03):
say if you said it at fourand a half, give me the over,
I'd take that. Yeah, giveme the over. I would take
that. Hey, you know what, it's almost like you've covered the NFL
for a long time. Sean.You you told me that you would take
a tight end at some point,I said I'd take a tackle. I
said I'd take an offensive lineman aswell. Yeah, and you started with
the back end, and I,uh, just a little bit. I
don't know much, but I youcan. It's not hard to I mean

(30:25):
a lot of people can see whattheir needs were. Yeah, and they
got some answers that they had tohave. And you need an in line
tight end somebody who can and Iwould imagine they leaned on CJ. Stroud
for what kind of teammate that guyis as well. So it should be
interesting to see how they push thisforward. I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah, there's some familiarity right there, especially with the Ohio state connection and
CJ. Stroud. All right,we're gonna talk. Keep talking. The

(30:48):
excuse me, the Houston astro JoeyLoverfeeder low per feedo being called up.

baseball and the NFL Draft coming toa close. We're gonna look at all

(32:42):
of the Texans picks next at sevenam. So in about eleven minutes from
now seven to one to three,two point two five, seven ninety the
number to join Al You're up first. Good morning, Hello, Al,
Oh, good morning. Sorry Ididn't hear my day. I bet hey.
I want to talk about a coupleof things, Sean number one,

(33:06):
sew do you know what two collegeteams have had more players drafted since the
draft began than any other team.Yeah, it's Southern talent, Notre Dame
very good and Miami Hurricanes for awhile or right there. If you're talking
about first round draft picks. OhioState, there's some schools that have charged

(33:28):
but at the Southern caland Notre dameerat the top of that list, have
been for a lot of years.At the end of the draft. Just
at the end of the draft thisweekend, Notre Dame has five hundred and
thirty two and SC has five andthirty one. They are right neck and
neck. Pretty amazing. Yeah,yeah, so I was really tickled to

(33:50):
see the Texans drafted a Notre Dameguy and a couple of USC guys.
A two time national champion from Georgia. I think I think they're these guys
are gonna work out. I thinkthey got some real good players there.
Onto the Astros, Bryan, Idid not understand why did we bring up
Cabbage and then play a bray youat first base? A brain drops a

(34:16):
pop up that my twelve year oldgrandson could have caught. I mean,
I didn't understand why why did webring Cabbage up if we weren't gonna try
him at first base? See howhe did? Yeah, I don't ow.
Your guess is as good as mine. I Sean and I have talked
about this pretty much at nausea.Why he continues to get run If you're

(34:40):
not gonna swing the bat, well, at least play good defense. And
we've seen, uh some some lackof days a cool plays from him over
the last couple of games. It'sfrustrating, man. I'm with you,
Yes, yes it is. Andspeaking up my twelve year old grandson.
He and my son went to BaseballUSA this weekend to watch some game and

(35:00):
cal mcnara was out there because hisson was playing. My grandson went up
to him and asked him if hewould be kind enough to take his picture
with him, and he was extremelynice to my grandson, and my grandson
got a picture taken from Galvin there, so he was kind of tickled about
that. That's awesome, that isgood stuff. Appreciate the call, Aul,

(35:25):
you know, he said, thankyou, congratsator and fighting Irish.
I h California that first game whenhe dropped the fight, the wind was
howling. There's almost there's almost abunch of drop balls. Now. I
know we're we beat him down.I saw him make a great play yesterday
at first base. I saw himmake it. I mean they may come
few and far between, but man, I just I mean, at least

(35:46):
it should he be starting and playing. No, but hell I at least
we can give him credit when hedoes get a hit, drives in a
run, and makes a play.So he did drop it, but that
could have happened to any number ofthe ball was the ball was windy as
hell, and getting out of thepark and wind swirl coming back in.
You saw guys have to run upand make a play. So I'm not

(36:07):
defending him or apologizing for him,but there was also some he made a
really good play at the you know, late in the gamer, in the
middle of the game yesterday at firstbase, so it might have been the
eighth inning. I can't remember.So I'm going to disagree with you here
on this one, and I'm goingto use one of your turns. Don't
tell me how rough the water isbringing the ship. And I know you're
not defending him, but do yourdamn job. Yeah. Well, I

(36:27):
mean he's in a lineup and shouldn'tbe. But so the first time,
I mean it was, say,if somebody's sitting two hundred and throws a
ball wide, should he be inthe lineup. No, no, I
think I think the reason why Isay he shouldn't be in the are you
talking about you're talking about bregnant?Oh yeah, when that happened to him.
For a guy who has struggled mightilythis defensively, yeah, I think

(36:50):
defensively he makes up for it.It's like we I remember we had a
discussion about Miles uh who was thecenter fielder that used to play here.
They traded him Miles Straw. Hestruggled to play tremendously, but he made
up for it with defense, andthen the defense started to be lackluster.
Then it's like, all right,dude, you can't. You can't hit
water if you fill out of aboat and you're not making the routine plays
a centerfield anymore, not taking goodroutes. Right, there's no doubt,

(37:13):
do you do you think without thewind that Brady would have dropped that well?
A couple couple last week too,though, And it's the ones where
you got to do a drop step. Yeah. Oh he's not great at
it. My only thing is thatlike guy drives in two runs. Finally
we're still again, Yes, ofcourse he did, right, That's why
That's hence my point is at leastyou can pat him on the back before

(37:35):
you take the ass. Sorry,I see, yeah, yeah, right,
you know what I'm saying that that'sthat's the whole point. It's not
like keeping the lineup. He's onfire now, he's a great defender,
none of that I see. Andwhen they say bring him in for defensive
replacement, why would you bring himin for defense replacement when you do he's
not a great defender at this stageof his career. But hell, I'm
trying to find a reason at leastwhen he gets to striveing too runs,

(37:55):
say, and then he makes agood play at first base, to have
a little good energy for him.Yeah, I see. You know that's
my only thing. And no,I wouldn't start him and know he wouldn't
be a late defensive replacement. There'sthey're they're not running their best nine out
there when he plays. But hell, at least I'm trying to find five
percent of energy for the guy whenhe does make a play. Makes sense?
Do you think there's a chance thathe gets DFA today? Well,

(38:20):
when they keep saying they believe inhim and running him out there, how
are they going to do that.Yeah, I don't don't. Then you'll
know they didn't believe in him atall. Right, if they keep talking
about the back of the baseball cardand it's him they're talking about, then
and U dfam, then you werenot because this is normal for him not
supposed to hit now, this isthis is a brave you style. Right,

(38:42):
didn't have a home run at thispoint in time last year either,
So there you go. That's theproblem you're going to face. They may,
but I don't know if they will. Yeah, I just there's got
to be some moves made. Obviously, you were able to extend your roster
because you were going to Mexico City, so they allowed them to bring up
an extra position player, So youhave to figure that out. Then you
have to make a corresponding move tobring Joey Lo Brafido in. And there

(39:02):
are guys. John Singleton is outof options, so you'd have to dfa
him. Same with jose A Bray. You are you gonna send Drake Cabbage
back down? You're gonna move oneof the bullpen guys back down. I
mean, there's something has to happentoday. So that's why those guys in
the front office get paid and managers. This is a decision they're gonna have
to make, and we're gonna livewith it. I think a lot of
people say dfam, but I'm notsure you're gonna get that answer for you.

(39:23):
Yeah. Well, the close ahalf million dollars says they're not going
to dfah, but take a lotof balls to do it. Yeah,
I would, But the easy choicewhen it comes to performance says you probably
should, right, But I don'tknow if they trust that. I think
they're going to hang their hat onthe fact that at some point in time
he's gonna get hot. Yeah,you can see he's late through the hitting
zone. I mean, anything upand fast, it's it's hard to get

(39:45):
too for him. But we'll seeyou ready to look at this NFL draft?
Sure? Absolutely? I need moreenergy than that. Man, Well,
what do you mean going to themic? Well, I mean I
don't. I didn't sit in frontof the TV and watch them. You
did, No what you means youwatch every everything? I didn't watch Detroit.
I watched like three picks. Sowhere did your private jet go?

(40:06):
Somebody else had it? I guessI don't. I mean I see the
picks as they scrolled. I didn'twatch the draft, So the first round
about ten twelve picks, and thenthe rest of it, I just looked
for the pick I saw like Iwas eating dinner. I saw like three
or four picks in the second round. Other than that, I saw,
how our guy, Lad McConkie,Where do you get? Where'd he go?
The Chargers traded up to go getLad McConkie. What a go?

(40:30):
How how blessed is that guy?I mean, how fortunately? Like I
get to go play with Herbert andI mean, what a what a what
a great gig for him, andhe'll be a really good player. But
after that, I didn't I didn'tpay it. I just looked at the
picks when they went along. Somy enthusiasm is I'm glad. But now
that it's settled in got a longway to football seasons, so yes,
right, and for the Texans.But while the enthusiast, oh good pick,

(40:52):
you got this guy, got thisguy, upgraded your roster. Yeah,
Now, I got to see howit translates to when they come back
to training camp and play. Butthat's that's my energy the draft and me
I'm not I'm not a sit infront of the TV nine hours and watch
the draft. That's just never beenfor me. That sounds actually awful and
it'll never be. All of thatdraft coverage, it's a lot, but
yeah, that's not it's it.It becomes to the part it's like,

(41:12):
oh my gosh, the analysis,it's crazy. But I liked what the
Texans did, especially without a firstround pick, seven, five, seven,
nine of the number join. Let'slook at the Texans and their draft
picks from the weekend as we continueto roll on getting seven o'clock hour right

(43:10):
Ryan Lima, Go Lobos. Thisis the Sean Salsbury Show. The
Rockies in Mexico City over the weekend. They host The Guardians tomorrow, Joey
Loberfiedo being called up. NFL Draftcomes to a close. The Texans make
nine picks, did not have afirst round pick, they did not trade

(43:30):
to get back in. Made someuh pretty good picks in the second third
rounds obviously a couple of USC guys. They got a tied end from Ohio
State. Sean just, I knowwe didn't watch every single pick from the
NFL Draft, but from a distance, how do you think the Texans did
with their draft? The goal whenyou is to make the second to feel

(43:53):
in the second round with those twopicks, like you got guys that were
first round type talent, and theydid they get I mean, you're getting
how well coached. Do you thinkGeorgia Corner is probably probably pretty good?
Yeah? You think I would thinkso, And I mean you answer your
You get to a point where you'refilling needs and they can get whatever you
think is best available. They neededanother tight end, they did and got

(44:15):
him. They needed offensive line depthgot it, especially somebody who may be
able to play more than one positionand who comes from a program that's well
coached. You needed a secondary safetytype of guy who can come in and
be a tackler and a ball hawkas well. Bam had to have it
you. I mean, you goup and down where they where they invested

(44:37):
their time in these draft picks.Listen, if you're going to say,
how many times do you see theseventh pick of the draft or you know
they're their seventh to your sixth roundpick, and how many times are somebody
you don't know from a university.That's fine, That's what the that's what
the UH general manager and scouts aresupposed to tell you every time. But
on the surface, you watch highlightsand you read stuff. We read stuff

(44:58):
about all these guys, but Ithink they did a great jet. When
you come out of a draft andyou don't have a first round pick and
you get a B, a Bor better, at least, listen,
we can judge them all we want. I would imagine some quarterback class we
thought was going to be an Aclass and all of a sudden, before
it's done, it's a D.So going in you judge before you.
That's why when when people say allthis draft mock drafts, mock drafts do

(45:22):
drive me friggin crazy. I knowwe all lean on them, but they
drive me crazy. I want toknow we give insights people want to know.
For instance, when you go onshows leading up to it, Well,
Sean, what do you think aboutyou know you went to USC.
What do you think about the widereceiver that played at sc right? What
do you think about Jordan Addison whenhe was Oh, I can give you
everything I think, but the translationfrom college of the NFL, there's very

(45:45):
few that you can almost guarantee success, like a Marvin Harrison junior. I
don't see how he's going to failunless he misses a team bus. But
for this team, when you're breakingit, I'm always a guy you want
to come on after and say,Okay, how do they fit? Well?
The first three pay we already knowhow they fit. Plug in and
I'm telling you what he's gonna Pilasceris gonna come in and play nickel corner.

(46:06):
He's gonna have a chance to competeimmediately. And remember who taught him,
Kirby Smart's pretty good, right,Yeah, they're pretty decent. So
I always look into that. They'reused to winning, they understand how to
play zone and man, he canplay inside and nickel and outside and if
he's a regular starter. They addeddepth to a position that needed it.
Offensive line. How many times we'vebeen talking about this, what was the

(46:29):
biggest problem with the offensive line beginninglast year? Injuries galore. That's when
these guys come into play and yougo get a guy and how how good?
Who was the first lineman taking aNotre Dame lineman? Well, so
you know that they are they'll protectand their road, you know, right,
they move people at the line ofscrimmage, and they're gonna be disciplined

(46:49):
and well, coach, I lookinto that stuff. So it's where they
fit after as opposed to mock draft, I mean, honestly going through it
and speculating. Some of them weknew in kind of first ten picks have
a decent idea who's going where.But for the Texans, it's hard to
get an A grade or close toan A grade when you don't have first
round pick. So how you're goingto maximize it? And they did?

(47:10):
You asked about need or best available? Did they need a corner, Yes.
Did they need depth at the offensiveline, Did they need another tight
end? Yes, they sure did. And now at free Dalton Schultz,
you can and you've got to takeinto account what the team is trying to
do with Demko Ryan's defense and withBobby Slowak's offense, of different personnel groupings.
Listen, you can say whatever youwant. They would love to do

(47:32):
exactly what the forty nine ers do. They would with personnel groupings and motions
and a little Oaki dope and makingsure you're creating chaos for a defense.
Now and I don't believe so unlessit was late that I missed, but
we're thinking, okay of Pierce,maybe grab a running back, Maybe that

(47:52):
could have happened, that you couldadd somebody that you grab in there that
feels like a steel in the midround, because there was obviously no first
round running back, so you rollthrough that. But overall, considering where
they picked, considering they gave uptheir first round pick, and I'm sure
Minnesota's really happy too. They gottwo impact players and they're done edge rusher

(48:13):
and a quarterback and didn't have totrade up as we talked about, but
one slot and didn't have to workall the way up to four or five
to get them and give up theirsecond first round pick. So both teams
won in that gig. I thinkthe Texans got better, they got deeper,
they got better, and they alsogot guys that are going to play
immediately and impact your franchise immediately.So now that that's why when you ask
me, are you excited, WellI was. I'm excited for what the

(48:36):
what it looks like on paper,what I saw them play in college.
Now I got to go see howthey fit in when they go, and
you get re excited when they go. But if you're not a little bit
giddy about the fact that they gotbetter, then you probably kd E Houston,

(49:52):
guys. They got a tied endfrom Ohio State Shawn just. I know
we didn't watch every single pick fromthe NFL Draft, but from a distance,
how do you think the Texans didwith their draft? The goal when
you is to make the second tofeel in the second round with those two
picks, like you got guys thatwere first round type talent, and they

(50:14):
did. They get guy I meanyou're getting how well coached. Do you
think Georgia Corner is probably probably prettygood? Yeah? You think I would
think so. And I mean youanswer your You get to a point where
you're filling needs and they can getwhatever you think is best available. They
needed another tight end, they didand got him. They needed offensive line
depth, got it, especially somebodywho may be able to play more than

(50:36):
one position and who comes from aprogram that's well coached. You needed a
secondary safety type of guy who cancome in and be a tackler and a

you go up and down where theywhere they invested their time in these draft
picks. Listen, if you're goingto say, how many times do you

(50:57):
see the seventh pick of the draftor you know they're they're seventh to your
sixth round pick, and that howmany times are somebody you don't know from
the university. That's fine, that'swhat the that's what the UH general manager
and scouts are supposed to tell youevery time. But on the surface,

I want to know we give insightspeople want to know. For instance,
when you go on shows leading upto it, Well, Sean,
what do you think about you knowyou went to USC. What do you
think about the wide receiver that playedat sc right? What do you think
about Jordan Addison when he was Oh, I can give you everything I think,
but the translation from college of theNFL. There's very few that you

he's going to fail unless he missesthe team bus. But for this team,

after and say, Okay, howdo they fit? Well? The first
three picks, we already know howthey fit. Plug in and I'm telling
you what he's gonna Pilasterer is gonnacome in and play nickel corner. He's
gonna have a chance to compete immediately. And remember who taught him, Kirby

(52:25):
Smart's pretty good, right, Yea, They're pretty decent. So I always
look into that. They're used towinning. They understand how to play zone
and man, he can play insideand nickel and outside and if he's a
regular starter. They added depth toa position that needed it. Offensive line.
How many times we've been talking aboutthis, What was the biggest problem
with the offensive line beginning last year? Injuries galore. That's when these guys

(52:47):
come into play and you go geta guy and how how good? Who
was the first lineman taking a NotreDame lineman? Well, so you know
that they are they'll protect and theirroad, you know, right, they
move people at the line of scrimmage, and they're going to be disciplined and
well, coach I look into thatstuff. So it's where they fit after
as opposed to mock draft, Imean, honestly going through it and speculating.

(53:12):
Some of them we knew in kindof the first ten picks have a
decent idea who's going where. Butfor the Texans, it's hard to get
an A grade or close to anA grade when you don't have first round
pick. So how you're going tomaximize it? And they did? You
asked about need or best available?Did they need a corner, yes?
Did they need depth at the offensiveline? They did they need another tight

(53:32):
end? Yes? They sure did, and now at free Dalton Schultz you
can, and you've got to takeinto account what the team is trying to
do with Demko Ryan's defense and withBobby Slowak's offense of different personnel groupings.
Listen, you can say whatever youwant. They would love to do exactly
what the forty nine ers do.They would with personnel groupings and motions and

(53:53):
a little Oaki dope and making sureyou're creating chaos for a defense. Now,
and I don't believe so unless itwas late that I missed, but
we're thinking, okay of Pierce,maybe grab a running back. Maybe that
could have happened, that you couldadd somebody that you grab in there.
That feels like a steal in themid rounds because there was obviously no first

(54:15):
round running back, so you rollthrough that. But overall, considering where
they picked, considering they gave uptheir first round pick, and I'm sure
Minnesota is really happy too. Theygot two impact players and they're done edge
rusher and a quarterback and didn't haveto trade up as we talked about,
but one slot, and didn't haveto work all the way up to four
or five to get them and giveup their second first round pick, so
to both teams won in that gig. I think the Texans got better,

(54:38):
they got deeper, they got better, and they also got guys that are
going to play immediately and impact yourfranchise immediately. So now that's why when
you ask me, are you excited, Well, I I was excited for
what it looks like on paper,what I saw them play in college.
Now I got to go see howthey fit in when they go, and
you get re excited when they go. But if you're not a little bit

(55:00):
giddy about the fact that they gotbetter, then you probably didn't watch it.
So yeah, or or or orlook at it and look at the
picks. They got better, andI their first three or four picks were
spot on to where we felt theyhad to go, and they did.
And then from then on your standthat guy could fit. What if this
guy's a gym, We'll go getthis guy and you know, and they

(55:20):
get a couple of Trojans and NotreDame and Ohio State and Georgia. They
got some people from some programs.Not saying big time programs automatically mean success,
but I can tell you this,they won't be overwhelmed, which is
a good thing. Yeah, youlook at the teams that they drafted,
these kids from Georgia, Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State, Oregon,
Louisville, USC, Auburn, Michiganall basically for the most part, high

(55:45):
high, high powered programs that thathave been in some really really high stress
situations. So the overwhelmed factor,I don't think it's going to be there
for these guys. Seven five sevenNiney's talk to Josh. Josh, welcome
in, Good morning, how y'alldoing. We're fantastic, man. What's
on your mind this morning? Well, I'm really happy with the Texans draft.

(56:06):
I like what they did and everything. I have a couple of questions,
mostly for Sean because I know hewatched more UFC football than you,
Brian, but it was you know, he didn't really like the USC defense
all year, didn't really say toomany good things about it. But I'm
assuming that the parts are better thanthe sum. And if he could just

(56:27):
elaborate on how he feels about thetwo USC Trojans and that would be great.
That's well any more excited than Ialready am. Yeah, Well,
Josh, and that's exactly it.I did not have much to say about
them because his a team. Ifyou didn't if you didn't score forty and
thanks for the call, Josh,we appreciate it. If you didn't score
forty, you won't be s Hewasn't winning. Even then, they had

(56:49):
trouble winning. And that's the casebecause I mean, you got a safety
who's active and can run around becauseyou don't. The parts were far better
than the sum of that defense.Hence why Alex Grinch wasn't there. They
moved on from him, and they'retrying to get better. It just didn't
fit. Whether it's scheme. Onething I do know, if you're a

(57:10):
good player, you're coming to abetter scheme and right now a guy who
can teach it better. So Inever ever judge the individual by the team
performance, especially on defense, becauseI can have I'd be like saying,
if all of a sudden, I'mon a team like Cleveland and Miles Garrett
gets eighteen sacks and plays well orplays good football, but the defense is

(57:30):
horrible. I'm not saying they werethis year, just using them as an
example. Or when JJ wats hereand he's getting Defensive Player of the Year
and maybe the defense is middle ofthe road at times, are we supposed
to No, I'm big on thekey is to take the parts and when
you plug him in, the sumis better than the parts. Unfortunately,
it was opposite at USC. Andyou know, they watched a lot of

(57:52):
tape. Does the guy run?Does he have bandwidth on the field,
sideline to sideline? Can this?I mean all those things that come into
play. So yes, you shouldbe excited because I assure you these parts
are going to fit into this suma lot better than they did against the
team who let's get Kayleb Williams togo win US games and couldn't tackle me
and you. And it's hard totackle in space as a secondary guy when

(58:16):
they're getting a full head of steamin your first first context fifteen yards down
the field. So they felt likeI did that the pieces were good,
the sum and the scheme wasn't Andthat's why they're going to be better here.
Yeah, looking at these USC playersthat were drafted by the Texans,
Kaylen Bullock is safety. He hadnine He's had nine interceptions in his college

(58:37):
career. If you look at JalenPeatrie and Jimmy Ward, they combined for
just one interception last year. Andthe key term that I saw in some
of these draft grades and things likethat about Kaylen Bullock is that he is
a ballhawk. And then you lookat the bandwidth and a ballhawker right,
and he covers a lot of ground. You look at the defensive end that

(58:59):
was drafted from USC and that wasSolomon Byrd. Of course, we know
that Demico Ryans loves defensive lineman andfeels like you cannot get enough of them
to come. Uh, you needto have depth at that position. He
had twenty sacks in his career atUS, so he's a really solid good
player. Ye. And the likeI said, if you create a scheme

(59:20):
to free him up in twenty sacks, well you know some may get fifteen
in the season. At least youknow he's active and is a two way
player, meaning it's just not rushingthe past, which matters to me.
Yeah, so there's depth for yourdefensive line. Seven one three, two,
one two five seven ninety will continueto take your calls on the Texans
draft, and of course you're HoustonAshers. Let's get to the stakeout next,
and it has to do with CharlesBarkley right here on Sports Talk seven

(59:45):

Texans draft nine from the NFL Draftover the weekend. All right, for

(01:00:30):
the steakout has to do with CharlesBarkley. Charles Barkley on the TNT set

This is what he had to say. Disappointed onis where they're going,

(01:00:52):

(01:01:37):
So he was talking about the thunderbeating the hell out of the Pelicans one
O six to eighty five. OklahomaCity takes a three series lead in that,
and of course everybody talks about allyou know, after a team gets
eliminated from the playoffs, are goingto take their ass down to cant Coon.
Well, Barkley said, We're noteven sending them to Can't Coon.
We're sending them to Galveston. Sothen a day later on Sunday, so

(01:01:59):
Yes to day, Charles Barkley hadmore to say about Galveston. I don't

(01:02:43):
sets him? All? Okay,so you know what, we're gonna be
rabid, go chuck san Antonio.And that's they That's what they have been.
A Victoria's secret. Jack. Whyis it seem because the them little
women down they can't get in themcutler underwear. They wear bloomers down in
San Antonio. Oh my god,Man to transition from that to this,

(01:03:07):
like no plots of Texas. Didhe say Victoria is a secret down there?
It's San Antonio. That dude isone of a kind. Tell me
he's not right though. He chosehe chose big women over dirty water.
Is that's he's freaking my gosh,he is. What was the behive on

(01:03:28):
him? But Houston, he said, yeah, he said he didn't want
to. He didn't want to.He said he knew he finded some people,
but he didn't want to. Hedidn't want to get any smoke from
the bay. But could you tellthe second day, Yeah, he didn't
want to get any smoke. Andthen he doubled down on it right back.
I really care. I mean likeI'm gonna double down anyway, so
well, tell me that's not true. A lot of eyes there was Chuck's

(01:03:54):
DUTs. Oh my gosh, I'mI know. That's why everybody man loves
to do dude on TV. He'sjust he's just real like he just tells
it like he feels it. AndI love the fact that t N T
TBS, that group doesn't doesn't muzzlehim. Oh man, you may get
your hands slapped a little bit orpeople like, well, I can't believe

(01:04:14):
that, Chuck. And if youcan't look through it and have a laugh
about it, we take everything soserious these days. Hey, I've been
down and got there's some dirty waterin certain areas down there, and make
no mistake about it. You're notgonna you're not gonna go underwater. You're
not gonna go on in the waterand hope you swallow some water while you're
underneath. And then in San Antonio, I mean, Chuck thinks there's big
girls that were bloomers. So there, there you go. There's some big

(01:04:38):
women out there. And if youcan't laugh a little, who comes?
Oh when him and when him andShack get going, and when Shaq laughs,
it's uncontrollable. That's a great thatthat's as good as studio show as
there is on the planet because theyjust got and Ernie's got a great job.
But also to keep those guys somehowfocused on basketball, that's a tough
thing, but that's part of whatmakes it great. They don't to be

(01:05:00):
focused on basketball all day. ListenX's and those basketball is finding dandy on
pregame shows in halftime, but intruth, we want to be entertained.
Oh man, they are friggin entertaining, and Charles is as entertaining as it
gets with any analyst anywhere at anypoint in time. Classic gotta love it.
Man. Don't mess with the Bayhiveapparently, So now you don't even

(01:05:21):
have to mention Beyonce's name if youjust mentioned the city, she's from the
Bay Hives. Mad, Yeah,I guess. Are you concerned about the
Bayhive? No, not as muchas I'm concerned about the Swifties. And
they'll all get on your ass,won't The Swifties will swiftly kick you in
the ass. Yeah, they'll allget over it. Chuck will be fine.

(01:05:42):
Oh my gosh, Oh it's sofunny. I saw somebody from Galveston
comment on it and was like,Oh, let's bring Chuck down here and
show them a good time. Dude, Chuck ain't going down there. Charles
is not going down there. There'sgreat small businesses down there. There's phenomenal
restaurants. Oh yeah, some goodbut for the most part pretty damn be
a fun money maker for everybody.If Chuck did go down there and like

(01:06:04):
held a and held like a madean appearance where I put a mic and
just was talking at one of therestaurants, there's some good stuff to like
down in Galveston, for sure.But listen, nobody is mistaken Galveston for
the clear water of Florida. Okay, it's just not. Even though it's
some good places to go down there. So the that's what makes Chuck who
he is man, the ability tosay stuff that most either afraid to say

(01:06:27):
or people won't let him say.And he doesn't give a rat's house,
oh man, And you got tolove him for that. Well, they
got Ocean's cabaret down there, man, what's that is that cabaret? I'm
assuming it's strip club. Yeah,they got one down there. Nicest thing
in there of the chairs. Neverbeen in it, I can neither confirmed

one of the spring breaks. Idon't know, back in like eight or
oh nine, we were like twentyyears old, twenty one. Literally there's
like four people working. Oh goodtimes. Man. Anytime you say cabaret,
you know what that means. Uh, it just adds to class to

(01:07:36):

of class. There you go,Jos Barkley, oh Man, protect him
at all costs. He's hilarious,he's price. He's a national treasure,
make no mistake. That's right,national treasure. Brother. Let's get back

(01:07:57):
and talk talk about the Houston textand seven and three two one two five

(01:09:46):
Once seven ninety Texans finish their NFLdraft, they draft nine over the
weekend. Seven one, three,two, two, five, seven ninety
the number to join. It's doctorRoger, Roger. Good morning, Roger,
triple punch him up. Please onyour side. See if we can
get that up. Roger, Allright, can't do it. Let's keep

(01:10:11):
it moving. Seven seven ninety thenumber to join. Uh Mel Kuiper giving
the Texans a draft grade? Whatdo you think he gave him, Sean,
I'm gonna say Mel probably gave themsince they didn't have a first round
pick, I imagine he liked acouple. I don't know where he had
some of these players ranked, becauseI didn't see Mel's final draft mock draft

(01:10:34):
going on. You know, yousee Mel's best available when you're scrolling.
I'm going to say Mel, knowinghim like I have all these years,
and knowing the type of player thatI feel like he likes, and knowing
where he thinks his team's going,and I'm going to just judge from some
of the players that I like andwhat I saw, I'm gonna say he
gave him a solid B or maybeeven a little bit higher. In no

(01:10:55):
way, no first round pick,but I'm gonna think he liked it.
Like I said, I'm surprised thattheir picks. I mean that they're already
got grades on him from mel Kuiperwith all the work. He really still
is after all these years. Whetheryou like his breakdown or not, think
what he's carved out. Dude,he made draft mock drafts what they are.
Yeah, So I'm gonna say solidB, no way B. I

(01:11:18):
don't think he got into the Ccategory. Too many good players and no
first round pick. They got whatthey needed for the most part, I
must say solid B. If theTexans were lucky on mel sang a B
plus but no higher than that.But I'm gonna say solid B. Yeah
is what he probably said. Orsomewhere in there. Mel Kiper gave them
a B plus. Well, thereyou go. He said top needs entering

(01:11:38):
the draft or cornerback, defensive tackle, offensive line, and he said for
a team without a first round pick. The Texans traded there to the Vikings
in March and a deal that sawthem at a twenty twenty five second rounder
among other selections. Houston had anice Friday at filled a void at cornerback
with Kamari Lasseter, who might havebeen a first rounder if he was a
little bit faster. He consistently lockeddown corners at Georgia and allowed two point

(01:12:00):
eight yards per attempt as a primarydefender, which ranked third in the FBS.
Offensive tackle Blake Fisher had a chanceto be a first rounder in twenty
twenty five if he had returned aNotre Dame as the fighting Irish is right
tackle. The past two seasons.He was a little inconsistent, but the
tools are there to be an NFLstarter. And then the Texans used their
extra fourth rounder to move up inround three to tackle or to excuse me,

(01:12:23):
to take safety Kaylin Bullock who hadnine interceptions in college who can play
center field in the NFL. Houstonranked twenty ninth in yards per pass attempt,
allowing seven point seven yards last season, so that fits a need area.
And then taking tight end Kate Stovermade my favorites list. He has
flown under the radar, but hassoft hands and can find open spots in

(01:12:43):
covered Houston's GM Nick Casario pulled offa solid, if unspectacer class for what
he had to work with this weekend. That's and wasn't sexy because normally you
don't call sexy a non first roundpick, right m hm. And that's
just the way people going in andthink about you when we're talking abou enthusiasm.
People were excited about it, butit wasn't overly verbal excitement. They
want to see how this played out, right, And I think Mel's right,

(01:13:05):
think about Stover can catch it,can block, brings energy. Who
was his quarterback in college? What'shis name? Seerout? You're right,
So the transferred so point is isthat they answered what do we say going

(01:13:27):
in? And so Mel kind ofwell, whether it is echoing what we've
kind of talked about, but that'shis feeling. So I would have his
grade of a B plus is Igave him a B plus or B high
B and you know, a solidB or high B. And so I'm
glad he did because he looked intothe depth of it of what they needed
and what do we say back end, physical help up front, offensive and

(01:13:48):
defensive line and a tight end andthey got all of it. Yeah,
they got all of it, andthen they also added what's one thing that
listened? Petrie took a little bitof a state back with his lack of
tackling, right, and he gotbenched for it. So it's sent a
message. Now you get a BALLHWKback there that gives you some depth.
Listen, Petriot. Guys like thatfly around and get hurt at times.

(01:14:09):
Right. The depth there as wellfor a safety that could cover a lot
of ground from southern cal even thoughthe sum was not good on their defense.
But don't judge the player for that. So I'm with Mel. We
talk about best available. They alsoand it's hard to get needs done between
rounds two and full hard because alot of times you'll have a need for

(01:14:29):
two or three guys and they're gone. And they answered exactly the depth that
they needed to at the right positions, and then you start to fill in.
I was actually pleased had they let'sjust say Stefan Diggs was your first
round pick, let's for fun,or Daniel Hunter. You pick one,
right, let's just say that wasyour first round pick. What would you
give the grade? Then that's ana straight up, that's exactly right.

(01:14:53):
You get one of the best passrushers or and or talented receivers in the
league. If we just said,because when I talk about success, you
got to talk about who you lostin the off season, who you gained,
and who you drafted, which ispart of who you're gaining. I
plugged free agency in the draft intothe same thing. To me, they're
they're there, they are intertwined,right, they're at the hip because if

(01:15:15):
you answer the receiver question, guesswhat they didn't need to do go out
and grab a receiver in the secondround. So you you you were able
to you combine them. Now,let me let's put this together. Hunter
digs safety or a corner, tightend, offensive line, defensive line help,
among a few others. Now,you tell me what the grade is.

(01:15:39):
Two Pro Bowl starters on each sideof the ball. So if those
are considered your first round picks,let's just put it like that. If
you gave them two, but let'sjust say one pick either one you want.
How's that not an a So whenyou right, when you combined,
Okay, who's better Grenada Daniel Hunter? Daniel Hunter? He sure as hell
is. And I think Grenard.I told Minnesota Radio this past week.

(01:16:01):
I think Renard's going to be areally good player for them. But this
team's better defense, even though BrianFlores is a pressure guy and is going
to create some you know as adefensive coordinator in Minnesota, all that stuff.
But when you look at this,when you combine offseason pickups, they
elevated that before the draft. Didthey get better this offseason? Yes,
they sure did. Absolutely. Okay, so with that and then by keeping

(01:16:23):
Dalton Schultz and getting some game addingJoe Mixon, think about that, just
those three. Forget anybody else mixingHunter digs. Now, consider what you
had to give up to get them, and then turn around and have this
draft. You're telling me that's notan a. It's definitely name added to
a team that was the fastest riserin football last year and went from an

(01:16:43):
also ran laughing stock two now isin the Chiefs and the forty nine ers
at that top level, maybe theEagles when they're playing right, and then
that next level. And it ain'tit's not a dude, it's it's one
or two steps. I'm done ata staircase. It's not a full floor.
The Texans have now vaulted themselves intothe AFC chance to be one of

(01:17:05):
the two or three best teams inthe AFC already and they got better.
Nah, this is quantum leaps.So when you apply the free agency and
the draft, the Houston Texans hadto have one of the best off seasons
we've seen so far. And ifStefan Diggs is who, we know the
talent and that it's just a littlebit of a little bit of a neck

(01:17:26):
ache and a little you know howyou get a little a stress headache and
it goes away after one ass,one tile and all. Well, unless
you're Christian Hovier, are you goingto il? Okay, Well that's Digs
won't hopefully. But the talent.You tell me that this team didn't make
a didn't hit a gold mine thisoffseason? They did? They did.
They did ten and eight or tenand seven, win the division. Yep,
and add Hunter and Diggs and andgot depth and got a corner with

(01:17:50):
your first pick in a second round. And he's from Georgia on what's been
the best defense in America for twoyears. And Kirby Smart's as good at
defensive coachess there is in a country. So who is taught by who?
Nick Saban. So you how dohow's will Anderson working out for you?
Is as a sage defensive boy ofthe Year. So this team right now,

(01:18:13):
if you're mentioning Cincinnati and Baltimore consideringthe growth they've, you better mention
Kansas City's a reigning champ. I'mgonna let them sit there fair and they
got better to get them speed.I'm gonna let this simmer for you.
You tell them, have we bypassedBuffalo or at least right with them?
I think with the lack of widereceivers that they have, yes, they
bypassed. When I mentioned Cincinnati,Now Cincinnati and Baltimore the teams in the

(01:18:35):
AFC not named Kansas City, they'rethey're still the king. You tell me
you can't. You tell me you'regetting through three or four of them without
the Texans being one of them.Now, dude, if you if that's
not a quantum leap, I don'tknow what the hell is. You should
be giddy about it. Extremely.Yeah, mel kiper b plus for uh,

(01:18:56):
the Houston Texans and their draft.You remember when we're ready for the
draft last year and we kept hearingabout the character issues that C. J.
Stroud had from some of these unnamedsources. Well, there was more
of that this season, and thegeneral manager for the Colts was not having
it. What did he say aboutit? That's next on Sports Talk seven
to eighty the Hottest Takes in HoustonSports so emotionally tied to the team.

(01:19:21):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continues. Allright, that's one. Sports Talk seven
ninety seven one three, two,one two five at seven ninety talking about
the Texans draft, Melkiverer gives thema B plus. Let's get out to
the phone lines. Roger, what'sgoing on? What's going on? Brothers?
What do year that? Felicia does? Congratulations to are asters for a

(01:19:43):
nice, hard, smooth reset downin south of border Mexico. That's exactly
what they needed up feel. Ifeel like they they they if anything else,
the visuals there, you know,what is that? That's what it
is supposed to look like. Ofcourse, with the exception of first base,
I'm glad that the management has finallydecided to do something. Looks like
they're gonna send the kid down andsee what he's got. Hopefully he can

(01:20:05):
show you know, he can showus what he's got and uh, you
know, keep that position or keepkeep keeping the lineup somehow, some way.
And uh, I'm just guy thathe's there getting his chance. Everybody
else is get the chance. Whynot him? And as far as the
and as far as Barkley, Chuckis still salty from from that time where
he missed the switch and his bathass couldn't get couldn't get the Stockton fast

(01:20:28):
enough, and well rest is history. Shoulders wouldn't broaden up to Dragon's bath
ass for a championships? Whoa,whoa what you're you're mad at Charles Barkley,
Well, he's still salty at Houston'severy time. He always pro shade
talking about Houston, talking about Galveston. Not even it is, no,
it's not. You can't say erer Roger. Let me ask you a

(01:20:57):
question. You're gonna swim and Galveston, gonna go on there and way and
go snorkeling. Yeah, but I'mnot gonna swip telegraph either, but you
might, but you might an Orangebeach alabam of my brother I hear you
about. And uh and on thedraft. My question you, Sean,
is do you think Cacio got maybemaybe the Oki doki a little bit because

(01:21:20):
they're trying to go after the koolAid guy and they got uh, they
kind of got Swiss shift at thelast minute. Do you think you got
not on which one? That's myquestion, whis which one are you talking
about? I didn't watch the secondhand, I didn't watch the last part.
So what part of Oki dok isall about that says traded up the
SATs trade up to get koolaid entry? Right? Right? And and I

(01:21:42):
feel like we have to settle fora last or even though I like last
year. I like his physical ability. You know, he knows how to
put a hat on somebody. Well, let me ask I like, yeah,
let me ask you this though,and talking about the okie, do
would you Let's say, Okay,the question is if you were going to
trade up so you could assure yourselfand getting mckentsry, let's just say for
the hell of it, because hewas the best available apparently on the boards.

(01:22:04):
Now, the question is was hethe best available to the Texans draft
room. We don't know. Theymay have liked Lassen more than McKinstry.
But being said, both at bigprograms, both well coached. Here's what
I say. Think about how manypeople would have been mad. If they'd
trade Let's say they had to giveup their third round pick to move up
with that, you would have said, is the difference between Lassiter and McKinstry

(01:22:28):
so great that it was worth megiving up my third or is the gap
pretty well? Are they pretty close? In the same real estate, same
area code, And now we keepthat pick, we get a guy who's
going to be well coached by Demiko. I think you could have lived with
either. I think it was smart, hey good for the Saints to do
what they did. But I don'tthink you had to move to get a
good player because how many times wesee Lastener over the last couple years A

(01:22:49):
lot. George's on TV all thetime. The guy's a good football player.
I wouldn't have traded up to getMcKinstry for last either, considering what
I would have a give up tomove up, which was probably either a
third or fourth round pick, andthat would have been offensive lineman or a
tight end that you wanted. SoI think they did fine. I don't
think he got Oki dope. Ithink it was a smart move by the
team to move up to get him, but I don't think you had to

(01:23:11):
battle that. I think it wasokay, Roger, okay, YouTube,
brother, thanks Roger, Roger,Roger, We've got vector, Victor Clarence
Clarence. Okay there, you didn'tsee airplanes so a while, so you
get my point on that. Ifyou were going to go up and get
kool aid, you would have hadto drink that coolly. See what I

(01:23:35):
did there, But you would havehad to give up something, something you
didn't want to give up. Youcouldn't have moved up saying hey, we'll
give you a sixth round pick andmove up. They would have they would
have wanted more so. And intruth, Lastener's got the ability to go
inside and outside and nickel cover cornerguys are important and I always judged who's

(01:23:56):
teaching him? You trust Kirby smartthere, brother, Ah, yeah,
so I'm okay with it. Yeah, so we're good to go. Seven
one three, two one two fiveseven Night start to John John, Good
morning, Hey, what was goingon? Ryan shun Blick? Yeah,
Shun, I ain't get touched outto you last week about the draft,
So I'm I'm gonna hit you withthis because I know you knowledge boy,
and you played the game at ahigh level. Look now, I got

(01:24:18):
a cousin called me and told methat they fired up in Alanta because they
say, he said, man,we ain't had this much excitement down here
since Mike Vig. But see thething about it with me is that I
know about monopoly money. I knowpeople throw stuff out there. He getting
one hundred, Me here a hundred. The man is thirty six years old
coming up with a bad injury.This man here, now shut my question
here. Now you know if theydidn't talk about his arm, we know

(01:24:41):
what they do that because they agentswanted from down so on loos. Won't
they gonna get him at a cheapcheap of bargain down in the second round?
But a lot of do they dodiligence? Look they had after Banks.
Let's let's realize out the Banks isa crue big in there. I
mean, he don't he ain't noplay money there, he really they got
a chance to getting the shut questionto you if you had opportunity. Now

(01:25:01):
you got a thirty six year oldquarterback right there. Now you had an
opportunity grab a quarterback which could bea top three quarterback without all the hoop
loud injuries. But last couple ofyears at Washington, throw over eight thousand.
If you have an opportunity to drapa young twenty three year old quarterback,
he'll be twenty four. But thetwenty three now, young twenty three
year old quarterback, let them sitLearne, let him sit and learn.

(01:25:25):
You know, he's the top quarterback. He's NFL ready. Would you would
you shun take a chance on thatquarterback? And I hang up the list,
Thank John. I'm assuming he's saying, would I take Panix where they
did considering Cousins. Listen, Cousinsis going to put up numbers and they

(01:25:45):
paid him. Cousins is he's heis a really good starting quarterback. The
question is can he take you fromJanuary to February and get you in there?
That's what still remains to be seen, and a lot of guys live
there. He'll put up numbers.Hell, he'll put up MVP numbers,
and he was playing MVP football.To answer your question real quick. But
man, I if I was Atlanta, I would not have drafted Michael Pennock

(01:26:08):
with the eighth pick. I wouldhave gone. I would have gone more
urgent because Raheem Morse, they needto win now. Michael Pinnox won't see
the field. To make no mistake, not you, al but anybody that
there's no controversy here. While Pinnixis pro ready because he's a ve been
in college football for six years,I understand the injury part of it and
the rest of it. He throws. He's the best pure pocket passer in

(01:26:30):
this draft. He can spin it. I love the kid. I didn't
like where they picked him. Ithink you could have traded down and maybe
the earliest somebody would have grabbed himwould have been the Minnesota Vikings at eleven
until they moved up to ten.But with their love for McCarthy. If
macarth, let's say McCarthy went toAtlanta, I think Minnesota would have taken

(01:26:51):
Pinnis. I do so because theyneeded one or bow Knicks, whoever they
liked more. But they got McCarthy. They got their guys. Me with
that eighth pick, considering Atlanta's situation, if Atlanta, if what's the Desmond
Ritter was still there, I knowhe's no longer there. If he was
still there, yes, I wouldhave drafted Pinnicks eighth. Then hell,
I'd put Pinnis in chance to winthe job, right, now because he

(01:27:14):
can flat ass rip it and Ilove his story, but considering you need,
you need it now. If Cousinsplays well, and he will play
well, he's not going to seethe field for four years and now at
that point time, if he playswell but they still go eight and nine,
do you realize that Rahem Morrise won'thave the job. So I would

(01:27:34):
have drafted for now, because threeyears from now, guess what there's gonna
be. I hate to say it, there'll be another Michael Pennox well,
or at least a guy that wefeel like has that kind of game.
Al I love Michael Penox, Ido. I would have tried to trade
down get another pick, and triedto and hanging in that early like the
late eleven twelve maybe and in theteens. I think you could have got

(01:27:56):
him before fifteen. I do,and so you could have got another pick.
I just think it was too early, especially with Cousins. It's not
too early if you if you werea desired one, you got one hundred
and eighty million dollar a quarterback withone hundred plus guaranteed. Pinnicks can't play
right now for that very reason.So I would have gone for the the
now and dealt with the later later. But I do think Michael PENNOCKX will

(01:28:17):
be a good football player, andI think we're going to see him shine.
The key is to protecting him whenhe's got clean pocket. You saw
Washington, great player. He's notyour prototypical he's not your by time all
the time. He is that guywho sits in that hula hoop and rips
it. I love him. Idon't love the pick there because of the

(01:28:38):
Cousins thing, that's all. Butyeah, I listen the way, there's
a reason why Atlanta took him.And what do I always say, Brian,
real quick, if you love aguy, you take him where you
love him. It just was oddbecause of what you did to get Cousins
the offseason, and you could geta locker room divided if Cousins does falter
early and do you know what Imean, we're half the guy. Well,
let's play Pinis. Let's dousands isgoing to put up numbers because their

(01:29:00):
Atlanta Falcons team has players right offensively, so we'll see love Pinnix. I
don't love where they got him becauseof the situation, not because the players
pick didn't make sense to me atall, I would have drafted for the
present, not five years from now. Didn't make sense. Yeah, I'm
with you. Let's keep talking aboutthe drafts, specifically for your Houston Texans.

is the Sean Sells very show.NFL Draft coming to a close of Texans

(01:30:09):
Draft nine over the weekend. Sevenseven ninety is the number to join.
Let's keep talking about this Texans draftand let's talk to Ray Ray. Good
morning, Hey, good morning guys. How you doing, good man,
what's on your mind? Hey?Got a got a couple of comments for
you and Sean no I called mecrazy, but it seems like Parsons and

(01:30:36):
Scratler has been doing a whole lotof hanging out lately. If you guys
have been paying attention to that,and that kind of made a comment yesterday
on my page about it, andCowboy fans just they just completely lost their
minds because out here's no way.I just thought I made it out there,
but I wanted to get to adraft and kind of get you guys's
take on on the Sweat situation onTennessee is like they're like the ultimate troll.

(01:31:02):
They're like the ultimate troll organization.It's Amy Adams is so obsessed with
Houston. I think I think Sweatmay have been on the Texans board and
they were probably gonna get him.But here goes Tennessee and and and they
take them. And Tennessee has holeseverywhere, but for some reason now they
take Sweat basically just to keep keepthe Texans from getting them. I can't

(01:31:27):
stand at an organization, but Iwanted to see if maybe, as Indykoue
used to say, my am Iuh, am I on to something?
Or am I on something? SoI want to see see what you guys
have to say about it. SoI hang up with this all right,
thank you? Right, Ray,I get it. I uh for me,
I can't fathom unless I am soloaded with a roster, which Tennessee

(01:31:50):
is not. I can't fathom.And people like the troll troll on Twitter
and all those fun things. Ican't fathom being in a draft room unless
I'm so loaded that every pick inmy draft is a luxury. Even the
Kansas City Chiefs don't have that luxuryand they're Super Bowl champions back to back
years. I can't fathom that youmake a pick saying, you know what,

(01:32:15):
the Texans are going to try toget this guy, we don't need
him if that was their thing.If you're saying what you're saying, Ray,
so let's just draft so the Texanscan't get them. I think it's
happened before at times in a divisionwhere you're loaded with roster and you got
players, and you say, youknow what, let's just take him in

(01:32:35):
the fourth or fifth, three whereveryou would take a guy, let's say
a receiver that you heard they like. I can't fathom if you're a Tennessee
if they put it this way,If the Titans are taking players so somebody
else doesn't get them, not becausethat's a need for them, then the
Tennessee Titans aren't going to win.I couldn't imagine sitting in there unless I
was so loaded and I had thenineteen seventy four Pittsburgh Steelers defense with like

(01:33:00):
Hall of Fame ra after Hall offamer as saying, let's draft this guy
because guess what the team behind us, our biggest, the Dallas Cowboys,
who are a threat in the NFC, are going to take him. We're
going to see those are the raidersin the AFC back in the seventies.
So I can't fathom on the boardnow if there was two guys equal and
you say, well, we'd ratherhave this guy than that guy, and
we keep him out of the divisionbecause he's with us, maybe gamesmanship.

(01:33:25):
The Tennessee Titans don't have that luxuryto be that kind of gamesmanship right now.
So my guess is you draft himbecause you because that player fit what
they want. They may have thoughtbest available at that point in time.
So I can't fathom that teams woulddo that. They have so many needs,
and the Tennessee Titans do a newcoach. I mean, they've got
some stuff they got to get done. Yeah, I would not think that

(01:33:50):
that's the way they went about theirdraft. That's not the way you're successful
unless you're so loaded that team doesn'tdoesn't have the strength on their roster to
draft to spite or troll. Theyneed players, and they got a good
one. I do agree that AmyAdams Strunk or Skrunk or whatever her last
name is. She's obsessed with theTexans. Oh, there's no doubt about

(01:34:11):
that. He like makes little commentshere and there, then the whole whole
thing with these new jerseys. Theywouldn't give the Texans full full go to
use that blue I mean, justall that stuff. But I don't think
it affects I don't think Amy Adamsshe walks in there and says, you
take that guy because because we wantto keep him, Well, we don't
want him. He doesn't if he'snot on our board right now, we
got somebody else. Will you takehim because I don't want the Texans to
have him. Yeah, you draftbecause, like I said, unless you

(01:34:34):
are so good the Tennessee Titans.Right now, the Tennessee Titans could actually
be in last place in the division. Next year. They probably will be,
so we're going to find out prettysoon. But I get it.
Ray but I don't think that ishow they think. Let's talk to Sam.
Good morning Sam, Hey, goodmorning guys. They Brian, I

(01:34:55):
want to talk scidly about the Texansand Seawan. I just want you to
hear what I say here, Tutsilat Howard. They both got hurt last
year. Correct during the regular season. They all missed time on the offensive
line side. Yes, I thinkthat that the Texas have missed the opportunity
to load up that offensive line andand really, you know tex Stroud,

(01:35:17):
because that's you know, if hecan't get if he can't get time in
the pocket or scrambling and doesn't haveconsistent line play, I think the Texas
are finished. Well, Sam,let me ask you this, what uh
they draft? They do? Theydid? They got a couple of them

(01:35:38):
drafted to and so they added depth. They didn't have a first round pick
to go get a guy like altfrom Notre Dame or a high first round
pick, and they drafted to whatwhat what more would you wind considering with
those injuries? I want you tostill look what Stroud did last year,
considering his line was made up up. This guy's here and move this guy
around. This guy's hurt this guymisses a lot of time. Got to
put this guy in, Uh,the kid from from Texas and m what's

(01:36:01):
ken Green? Kenyan Green? Well, he's out the whole year. I
mean they had to, they hadto meal piece it together. And Stroud
still was the rookie of the Yearand was an envy AB Houston, Houston
and iHeart Radio station. This isSports Talk seven ninety and the Rockets your

(01:37:08):
to Ray. Ray Good morning,Say good morning, guys. How you
doing, good Man, what's onyour mind? Hey good got a couple
of comments for you and Sean.You know, I called me crazy,
but it seems like Parsons and Scotthas been doing a whole lot of hanging
out lately. If you guys havebeen paying attention to that, and that

(01:37:30):
kind of made a comment yesterday onmy page about it, and Cowboy fans
just they just completely lost their mindsbecause there's no way. I just thought
I made it out there, butI wanted to get to a draft and
trying to get you guys's take onon the sweat situation. I'm Tennessee is
like they're like the ultimate troll.They're like the ultimate trol organization. It's

(01:37:54):
Amy Adams is so obsessed with Houston. I think I think Sweat mail been
on the Texans board and they wereprobably going to get him. But here
goes Tennessee and and and they takethem. And Tennessee has holes everywhere,
but for some reason now they takeSweat but basically just to keep keep the
Texans from getting them. I can'tstand an organization, but I wanted to

(01:38:16):
see if maybe, as Indy Clueused to say, my am uh am
I onto something or am I ownsomething? So I want to see what
you guys have to say about it. So I'll hang up in this at
all, right, Thank you,Ray, I get it. I uh
for me, I can't fathom unlessI am so loaded with a roster,

(01:38:38):
which Tennessee is not, I can'tfathom. And people like the troll troll
on Twitter and all those fun things. I can't fathom being in a draft
room unless I'm so loaded that everypick in my draft is a luxury.
Even the Kansas City Chiefs don't havethat luxury. And there are Super Bowl
champions back to back heres, Ican't at fathom that you make a pick

(01:39:01):
saying, you know what, theTexans are going to try to get this
guy, we don't need him ifthat was their thing. If you're saying
what you're saying, Ray, solet's just draft so the Texans can't get
them. I think it's happened before. It times in a division where you're
loaded with roster and you got players, and you say, you know what,

(01:39:23):
let's just take him in the fourthor fifth, three wherever you would
take a guy, let's say areceiver that you heard they like. I
can't fathom if you're a Tennessee ifthey put it this way, If the
Titans are taking players so somebody elsedoesn't get them, not because that's a
need for them, then the TennesseeTitans aren't gonna win. I couldn't imagine
sitting in there unless I was soloaded and I had the nineteen seventy four

(01:39:45):
Pittsburgh Steelers defense with like Hall ofFame rafter hall of famer are saying,
let's drat this guy because guess whatthe team behind us, our biggest,
the Dallas Cowboys, who are athreat in the NFC, are going to
take him. We're going to seethose are the raiders in the A SEE
back in the seventies. So Ican't fathom on the board now if there
was two guys equal and you say, well, we'd rather have this guy

(01:40:08):
than that guy, and we keephim out of the division because he's with
us, maybe gamesmanship. The TennesseeTitans don't have that luxury to be that
kind of gamesmanship right now. Somy guess is you draft him because you
because that player fit what they want. They may have thought best available at
that point in time. So Ican't fathom that teams would do that.

(01:40:30):
They have so many needs, andthe Tennessee Titans do a new coach.
I mean, they've got some stuffthey got to get done. Yeah,
I would not think that that's theway they went about their draft. That's
not the way you're successful unless you'reso loaded that team doesn't doesn't have the
strength on their roster to draft outa spite or troll. They need players,

(01:40:50):
and they got a good one.I do agree that Amy Adams Strunk
or Skrunk or whatever her last nameis, she's obsessed with the Texans.
Oh, there's no doubt that helike makes little comments here and there,
then the whole whole thing with thesenew jerseys. They wouldn't give the Texans
full full go to use that blueI mean, just all that stuff.
But I don't think it affects.I don't think Amy Adams. She walks

(01:41:11):
in there says, you take thatguy because because we want to keep him,
well, we don't want him.He doesn't if he's not on our
board right now, we got somebodyelse. What You take him because I
don't want the Texans to have him. You draft because, like I said,
unless you are so good the TennesseeTitans. Right now, the Tennessee
Titans could actually be in last placein the division. Next year. They
probably will be, so we're goingto find out pretty soon. But I

(01:41:33):
get it, Ray, but Idon't think that is how they think.
Let's talk to Sam. Good morningSam, Hey, good morning guys.
They Brian, I want to talkspecifically about the Texans and Sean. I
just want you to hear what Isay here. Tutsil at Howard. They
both got hurt last year. Correctduring the regular season. They all this

(01:41:56):
time on the outfitsive line side.Yes, I think that that the Texas
have missed the opportunity to load upthat offensive line. And and really,
you know tex Stroud because that's youknow, if he can't get if he
can't get time in the podcket orscrambling and doesn't have consistent line play,
I think the Texans are finished.Well, Sam, let me ask you

(01:42:21):
this, what uh they draft?They did? They did? They got
a couple of them drafted to andso they added depth. They didn't have
a first round pick to go geta guy like alt from Notre Dame or
a high first round pick, andthey drafted to what what? What more
would you wind considering with those injuries? I want you to still look what
Stroud did last year, considering hisline was made up up. This guy's

(01:42:43):
here and move this guy around,this guy's heard, this guy misses a
lot of time. Got to putthis guy in uh, the kid from
UH from Texa A and m what'shis Kenyan Green? Well, he's out
the whole year. I mean theyhad to they had to meal piece it
together. And Stroud still was therookie of the year and was an MVP
candidate, had the best So mypoint is they did that without depth for

(01:43:04):
the most part. Now they've theyadded two offensive linemen for depth. I'm
not sure what else they could havedone unless they traded two seconds and a
third to jump into the late firstround. And are we sure that the
late first round is gonna give youyield you the player you want and the
offensive line on their board. Iactually don't think they missed out an offensive

(01:43:24):
lineman. I think they I thinkthat they did what they needed to do
depth wise. Well my point,my point is, you know, and
I'm not a huge Cowboys fan,but when when they went on that run,
you know, they had Larry Allen, they had that crew. They
had a great offensive line, andthat's why, you know a couple things
then't Smith you know, broke singleseason record. You know, yeah,

(01:43:47):
oh, I know what you mean. And they did that too when they
got Tron Smith and and their recentoffensive line, like with with Martin and
Smith and that group. They builtit that way. But my question is,
how do you Where were you goingto get it? You didn't have
first round pick, how and theygot two linemen. Where you going to
get it in this draft? Yeah? Well, okay, to your point,

(01:44:09):
they couldn't go out and utilize oruse anybody as trade, you know,
trade bait. Well, okay,so we see, but the question
is who That's why I'm okay,So let's just say they wanted to trade.
I don't I'm trying to think theywanted to trade a defensive tackle or
p Tree their safety. You're notgoing to get a first round pick for
him, so you're still back tosquare one. So the point is they

(01:44:31):
were limited on going and getting thetop flight, full grown set. And
if Howard and Tunsel are fully healthy, you got your tackles. So I
get what you're saying. It hasto be built there, and that's why
they went and got two extra guysfor depth, which I distinctly said last
week. You got to go getmore bodies there. But without a guy
to do, you can't. Youcan't go get the top flight first ten

(01:44:56):
to twelve picks when you don't haveone to go get that guy. I
trusted this offensive line will even bebetter than it was last year, and
with mixing coming out of the backfield, running it and catching it, it's
just going to make their job easier. I actually I got a B plus
for them, and I think thatthey added depth to that offensive line and
Kenyan Green should be back correct,So there you go. That's three bodies

(01:45:17):
right there. So I get whatyou're saying. And yes, the offensive
line has to dominate if you're gonnawin championships. Those guys got to be
good. I think they're taking stepsin the right direction to address that.
And the last point I want tomake is about Kirk Cousins, Brian and
Sean. If you guys are theGMS of of the Falcons, don't you
talk blank out of going after Cousins. What has he done? What does

(01:45:41):
he won? What does he reallyaccomplished? I mean, he's never gets
past the first round in the playoffs. Well, thanks Sam for the call.
Address that real quick. They wentand got him because they didn't I
think at the time they went andgot Cousins, they didn't think they were
going to get a quarterback. Theywent got him for one hundred, Andy
does because his numbers, there's athe guy's a good player. Debate prest

(01:46:03):
Prescott. Then then Josh Allen.We've been to move away from Josh Allen
and he hadn't got there. LamarJackson, he's Dak Prescott. He is
Josh Allen. And from what we'veseen from uh, who am I thinking
of Josh Allen? Josh Scott Garoppologot there. He He's a handful of
dudes that are really good players.But Jared Goff and he's even better than

(01:46:27):
GoF. He's put up numbers fora long time. And that's my biggest
question on Cousins. He'll get youin January. I don't know if he
can get you to February. Hell, I don't know if Atlanta can get
back to February anytime soon. Buthe's better than the guy they drafted today.
Now two years from now, Pennicksmay be better. My point is
they went and got him because theywere looking at Desmond Ritter or Kirk Cousins
and they needed a splash get andthey got him, and then all of

(01:46:49):
a sudden they went in their evaluation. We got to get Pennix two for
the future, so they loaded up, which I understand. I just thought
that you could have got Pennicks alittle later. So they went't got Cousins
because in truth, he he wasthe best available quarterback this offseason period and
he was having an MVP yearn tilthey got hurt. Do I think Atlanta's
winning the Super Bowl Kirk Cousins?The answers, no, Do I think

(01:47:10):
they're gonna put up gaudy numbers withhim at quarterback? The answer is absolutely
yes, So you're gonna give toget. But guess what, you know,
how many guys have won Super Bowlsince Brady Mahomes, Roethlisberger, Rogers.
Not many. You've been about ahalf a Dozen's been about a half
a dozen of them, Yeah,and then the rest lived there. Lamar
is a great player, but Lamar'sin the same Cousins too, Right,
can't get to the Super Bowl yet, Josh Allen, even though they're better

(01:47:30):
players than Cousins. The whole goalis to do what get to February,
and most don't live there. Mostlive trying to get to February. Most
aren't Mahomes and Brady and Rogers inthat group. Desmond Ritter wasn't going to
get you to adosso in first seasontickets as well. Yeah, you just
had part of it that you gotto think about. All is, Let's
continue to talk about the Texans andthis draft. What would you the fan

(01:47:54):
give them as a draft grade sevenone three two point two five seven ninety
call in let us know. We'llcontinue on right here on the Seawann Salisbury
Show. Let's talk about classic Elitein the classic Elite Buick GMC dealership off
the Kadie Freeway just west the Highwaysix zero percent interest on all Sierras for
seventy two months. That's what I'mcurrently driving at twenty twenty four Gmccierra SLT

(01:48:15):

it's got cold seats, heated seats, it's got the heated steering wheel,
big brand new dash on it,all the bells and whistles that you
can imagine. It is fantastic.You gotta get over there to classical Elite
Buick GMC and get zero percent intereston a Sierra. And they also have

(01:48:36):

some of those vehicles. You getClassic or you get Elite inventory, Elite

(01:48:58):
customer service, and Elite price whenyou go to Classic Elite Buick GMC.
When he gets to that dealership,ask for Jeff or Tiffany Sebastianan tell him
that Brian Lima sent you back tothe Sean Salisbury Show on Sports Talk seven
ninety sports your astros, your rockets, your voice. You know, we'll

(01:49:20):
get to Jeremy Andy, good morning. Hey. I love the draft.
I think I think they did whathe needed to do. He he replaced
Fant because we don't want Heck tobe our our swing tackle coming off the
bench, for sure. I meanthat's not going to cut it. And
like the cornerback pick up, butI really like Stover. You know,

(01:49:42):
you look at him and say,well, wow, look at that he
caught more balls per game last yearthan they did with CJ. And and
a lot of people say, well, he didn't catch him any Well,
guess what, they had great receivers. He looked he caught anything at Ohio
State with the receivers they've had forthe last couple of years. Said,
I think this guy, you lookat the film on him and his blocking,
Well, he looks like he lookslike a clone of a Kittle,

(01:50:06):
a little little thicker than Kittle.And uh, he looks like he's got
good hands. I really really liketo pick up is Seun. You're right,
did we get the best wide receiverin free agency? Yes? Did
we get one of the most covetedpositions on the defense. Did we get

(01:50:27):
the best player in free agency?You got the best edge rusher in free
agency that Texas? Yeah? Andthat's what yeah? And I mean what
else you want to you won't,Casero do? I mean, this guy
has been a wizard since he camehere, from getting all that dead cap
money gone, getting us, givingus all this money so when he was

(01:50:48):
able, when the team was readyto do it, he could go out
and get those players. The guyis just a sideboard when it comes to
doing his job and that that's thekind of guy you need as a GM.
And he's got and look, he'sgot us ready for years down the
road, because in a couple ofyears, Howard's contracts can get out of

(01:51:10):
you can get out tuneles. Ina couple of years, he extends them
to this part where he knows wherehe needs he can extend him to and
nothing further two to three years.And that's it. And man, it's
gonna be a great season next year. That's all I can say. Appreciate
it. Thank Andy. Let's keepit rolling on the phone lines and talk

(01:51:30):
to Jeremy. Jeremy, welcome in, Hey guys. I love your show
man. I'm glad to be here. The Texans man, They're just they're
loaded right now. On paper.They remind me a lot of the two
thousand and six Saints. I am, you know, a Saints fan,
but I'm a Texans fan as well. I just wanted to say something about
the Kirk Cousins. There was asource coming in that the Saints were gonna

(01:51:54):
go draft Michael Pennick Junior, andI think they got caught, uh petty
picking, you know, And it'snot a you know, it's not a
bad problem to have when you have, you know, too many quarterbacks,
especially when you don't have you know, really one at all. But that's
just what I wanted to come across. And it looks like i'd the smell
a little winning streak coming with theStrows. So appreciate the call, Jeremy.

(01:52:19):
Yeah, and smell on a winningstreak, let's hope. So because
they need that in the Wars.I'm anxious want to talk to Steve here
in a few minutes. Steve sparksof what can you gather from these two
days in Mexico City. You know, a wins, yes, but the
depth of of how that what itdoes for you in a ballpark like that,

(01:52:40):
you know what it felt like.Thanks for the call, man.
I think I think you said itin the six o'clock hour that this past
weekend honestly felt like an exhibition series. Yeah, not by the fans,
because the energy was through. Butthey won and you come away with okay,
but they didn't count. That's yourfruit yet. Of course they count,
and the fans were electric and itwere getting after it. But I
think the ballpark and the just theelevation makes you feel like it's I don't

(01:53:05):
want to say this, that it'sgimmicky. Does that make sense? Because
the ball because of the elevation,It's like, come on, man,
is this? How much of thisis real? I can't remember who was
it called and said temper on lowPerfeto? Maybe was was it Ronnie this
morning? Temper because of where he'splayed in ballparks in elevation, and so
should we not temper that for MexicoCity too. That's why I want to

(01:53:28):
ask Steve. All I know isthat you still got to hit the ball
to hit it out of the ballpark, and there was some better selective hitting
Blanco. I mean, the oppositeis true keeping the ball in the ballpark
for the most part. If you'reAstros pitching, that matters too. So
I think there's some things to begained. But you go in the enthusiasm
of the fans is off the charts. I love it and the passion,

(01:53:48):
but there is that feeling of Okay, oh yeah these don't count, but
yes, yes, yes they do. So it's a two game winning streak
that they need to continue. Butthey're gonna be tested because the team they're
playing the next three. Pretty damngood, Yeah, pretty damn good.
Yeah. I got the Guardians cominginto town tomorrow night, and then they
go at it against the Mariners.So schedule doesn't get easier, that's for

(01:54:10):
sure. And then I want tosay, they have a stretch of like
thirty two games in thirty four daysor thirty four games in thirty six days,
something like that, not a lotof off days. So they're gonna
have to get things figured out,especially with if they're bringing low Perfito up,
some kind of corresponding move is gonnahave to happen. You just called
up trade Cabbage, you extended yourroster to go play internationally down in Mexico
City, So I mean there's gonnabe some moves that have to be made.

(01:54:30):
You just got from or back.You put JP Frantz down in Triple
A, is how when will hecome back up? I mean, there's
so many different moving parts that thingsgot to get figured out, especially if
their's going that span of a longstretch of games without a lot of off
days. So you know, wetalked about the games that are must wins
last week because of the losing streakand getting swept for the fourth time this

(01:54:54):
season, you're about to hit astretch where man, it's it's gonna be
tough for these Astros. So ifthis is the reset you needed to go
to Mexico City hit six bombs withKyle Tucker hitting two, yord On hitting
two, al Tuove staying hot onyour Diaz, Jeremy Pena, if this
is what you needed, well,good, good for the Astros. But

(01:55:14):
now you've got to do it backhere at home. There's and then do
it when a fly ball that endedup in the seats ends up on a
warning track, right, that'll bethe difference. I I'm really anxious to
see if if for them it's springboardsnot momentum. Like I said, I'm
not a big game to game momentumguy. I'm an in game momentum guy.
If it springs confidence for like BrianAbray you for, then then the

(01:55:36):
next is all of a sudden.Now, Orda, I'm gonna start going
on one of those roles and they'redriving runners in in scoring position. So
I think that you can take somethingfrom it. The question is how much
should we take from it. You'vegot the Guardians, You've got Seattle,
and you've got the Yankees, that'syour next nine games, and Aaron Judge

(01:55:57):
is starting to heat up too now. And then you take on the Tigers,
who are sixteen and twelve. Rightnow, I'm pretty good baseball.
Yeah, so and then here here'seven let me just throw this all okay.
So yeah, it's a six gamehomestand and then you go to New
York and then to Detroit is asix game roadstand. So this is pretty
important. Twelve games, everybody,Oh yeah, it really is. And

(01:56:17):
hey, what I do know isthat you added two wins to the column
and that matters, right, Yep, you did get two big wins.
You needed those in the worst way. All right, let's welcome in Astros
broadcaster Steve Sparks of the show nexton Sports Talk seven ninety. This Sean
Salisbury Show continues on Sports Talk sevennineteen ninety home for your home teams that

(01:56:45):
time of the week, every Mondayat eight thirty in the morning. We
welcome in astros broadcaster Steve Sparks ofthe show. We sure do, and
this is no different. Fresh offtrip, a road trip in Mexico City
got him back here three with Clevelandthat's up next, and he joins us
now, Steve, welcome in myman. Hey, I'm not a big
game to game momentum guy, buti am an in game momentum guy.

(01:57:09):
But I'm big on confidence. Whatcan we learn ballpark? You know,
there's great enthusiasm in Mexico City.What can we learn from a team because
of the you know, obviously thealtitude and the way the ball was flying.
Tell me what we should take awayfrom those two games there? Well,
you got fromber Back that's a hugeone, you know, and he
gives you five innings and keep hispitch count low enough to where he can

(01:57:32):
get you five and they can handit over the way they drew it up.
So I think that's what you getout of there. You get the
extra base hits for impacting the baseballmore so than they did the first part
of the road trip. It waskind of brutal. You know, they
just hit some stingles. They weren'thitting with runners in the scoring position,
and it was, man, itwas a morgue before the Astros went to

(01:57:55):
Mexico, it was that was tough. Wrigley, Washington, see, both
of those places just didn't turn outthe way you'd hoped. Some of the
games just fell by the wayside towardthe end. So to salvage those last
two and to play the way theydid, I'm not so sure about the
big momento stuff, but you're lookingfor positives right now, right and the
team still hasn't won three in arow yet, so I think, you

(01:58:19):
know, they win three out offour, four out of five, you
know, and start doing some thingseven with this tough schedule coming up.
You know, the other team shouldbe looking the other way to this.
This is a talented Astros group andgoing forward, I expect them to play
in a good clip. Agreed,Steve. You know, back to this
Mexico City thing is you still haveto put the bat on the ball to

(01:58:43):
get it out of the ballpark,so you know, driving runners in scoring
position, and you also as apitching staff with that you know the altitude,
have to keep the ball in theballpark. So there was a couple
of positives there. I mean,you get you know, Trey Caprich coming
and hitting the ball the other wayin the gap and driving in a run,
and you saw the ball jumped offBregmant's bat I think at a buck
eight in one of his at bats. I mean, there was some things

(01:59:04):
that you can kind of carry over, but like you said, Cleveland's we're
not playing in Mexico City, andyou got to almost prove to yourself that
what you saw in Mexico City wasreal for you. Correct, you're exactly
right. But you know, you'restarting to see some signs even just mechanically
with Bragman, that it's getting closer. It's getting closer where you know,

(01:59:25):
there's base hits to right field,you know, and you don't have to
you know, as long as youkeep that front shoulder closed as a pitcher
and a hitter, you know,good things will usually happen. So more
short and more compact, and itlooks like your third base and looks like
he's going to be coming out ofthis thing pretty soon, like he like
he basically does that, right,So you know, there's just a lot

(01:59:49):
of good things, you know,just just just driving the baseball again.
And I think the energy, youknow, and Joe, Joe talked about
it a lot, just the energythere. I think the team a little
bit of a boost maybe at justthe right time because it was really low
going in there. Steve, didyou like the change in the batting order
on the road trip. I likechange when you're not going well. I

(02:00:15):
like change no matter what. AgreeAnd I've told you, I've told you
this. I don't think they canmess up the first four in the lineup,
no matter where they are, aslong as you don't stick a fast
guy in there just because he's fast. That's that's my thought process on that.
And you get your four best youknow up there and whatever order you
want. I'm playing with. Stevecontinued with the well, first time he

(02:00:39):
hit Brian a bray you we sawand the back end of the bullpen started.
It felt like they started to looka little better. Bray You was
ramping it up, and I meanthe back end look better. That's the
one you and I have talked about. There was never going in that was
a strength. We fully expect thatto turn around and be a strength.
Would you see mechanically from a brayyou and that back into the bullpen this

(02:01:00):
last couple of games, you knowwhat, Sean wasn't even mechanically. I
thought it was more, you know, just his bonding language, right presence,
for whatever reason, I think hisfirst dozen games. I looked this
up before the Mexico trip and hepitched both games there. So the first
batter he faced was four for tenwith two walks, so they were on

(02:01:21):
May six out of twelve times hisfirst dozen games he got into it.
And that's just I mean, hehad so many clean games last year,
whereas one, two, three,and he punches out a couple and we
just didn't see that. And whatI saw in Mexico was somebody that came
out with his hair on fire.He wasn't tiptoeing and coming into the game

(02:01:42):
timid with that first batter or twoand trying to work out of trouble.
So, uh, that's the BrianBrady that we've come to enjoy watch in
the last couple of years. Sosomebody more aggressive right when they come to
the ballgame. Announcing his presence rightaway was a welcome side big time.
I mean that that kind of shimsent a message to everybody. Steve Sparks

(02:02:02):
joins us for his weekly visit herefor a few more minutes on Sports Talk
seven ninety. Always grateful for Mondayat eight thirty Steve to start. Since
he's come back from injury and haslooked pretty solid in both it's just a
it's just a world of difference.When he's part of the rotation, Verlander
kind of looks like, well,justin Verlander, and that's a good thing.
Yeah, you know it, curbAll looks fantastic. I thought it

(02:02:27):
was almost gonna be a momentum swingin Chicago when the team was playing poorly.
Third game there and he gets basesloaded, nobody out in the first
inning. You know, we talkedabout it a lot of times, especially
in the playoffs, Sean Is.You know, the Astros will make a
great because of his play, andthat carries over into the dugout and then
their offensive clothes for three or fourruns. So defense big plays like like

(02:02:48):
your guy going out there and keepingthe Cubs off the board in the first
inning even though they got the basesloaded, nobody out and he punches out
a couple of dudes. You know, that's a statement and that kind of
fire. Yeah, So it didn'twork out that way in that particular game,
and it just goes to show youwhat he's capable of, still being
able to go out there and rampit up when he needs you. I

(02:03:10):
love and he's been doing this sincehe was young, you know, And
It's just a cool thing, isyou know, you can coast along at
ninety three to ninety four miles perhour induced to that a couple of miles
perro when you need it and gofor that strikeout and he still has that.
Steve sparks for a couple more minuteshere on Sports Talk seven ninety Steve
the low Prafito been called up.He's mashing the ball, I think thirteen

(02:03:33):
home runs now, striking out atabout a third of the time he comes
up. But you give us anidea, and it's gonna be a little
different. It's major league pitching.But what we should expect from him,
and how concerned are you about thestrikeouts the confidence give us a little like
a sketch of what we should expectfrom Joey low Perfito at this level.

(02:03:54):
Well, I would expect he's goingto play a lot of first base,
you know. He makes him veryathletic at that position, and he just
drives the baseball. Thirteen homers already, but just to gap to gap stuff
and the speed and all that stuff, but at really a lot of times
not that athletic of a position.So I think it's cool, you know,
and you get another left handed batin the lineup. But I think

(02:04:15):
he was very popular. I thinkthe guys in the clubhouse during spring training
really really like the way he wentabout his business. A lot of people
just said just the way he wentaround. He worked, He asked questions,
but he listened more than anything else. And I think he fit right
in because of that. Guy's respectedhim and he played hard. And one

(02:04:35):
thing that I've noticed about this teamin the last five or six years,
Sean, is if these guys geta sense that somebody can help them win
baseball games, and they welcome theseguys, they don't push them off on
the side and let them figure thingsout on their own. They're going to
make things as comfortable as they canfor him and see what he can do
to help them get over the homesteve to the manager. I've asked Dana

(02:04:58):
Brown this and I'm curious, andyou've mention how the players respond and that
you know, with Joe A.Spot who's been in baseball a long time,
all those things that were positive whenhe got hired and coming into this,
and I've asked Dana about learning curve. What is it for Joe A.
Spott? How long do you expecta rookie manager who's been here a
while as a bench coach and therest of it running spring trainings, but

(02:05:21):
those game situations are different, Steve, how long do you expect before it's
like okay, he the learning curvesover and it's right is it now?
When is it? What should welook for? You know, let's think
about, you know, the waythe team's gotten off, you know,
in what you would expect a youngermanager to do, and the things that

(02:05:42):
he has done I applaud. Youknow, like he's moved guys up and
down the lineup who are hot andguys that are cold that moved them down
in the order. You know,there's contract situations, there's option situations,
running a bullpen, and I lookthat the way that he's handled the you
know that it's not that easy,especially for a young guy. I've seen

(02:06:03):
veteran managers that I thought there wereterrible at it, But I think Joe's
doing a fantastic job. And themoves he's made. You you just asked
me, Bregman back to the twohole? Why not put them back in
a situation where you know Jordon's battingthird and he can watch Bregman's at bast
and take his time before he getsin the box. Things like that I

(02:06:24):
think mattered. You know, he'snot just sitting back and just saying these
guys have done it and we're notpaying it. No, he's making moves
and he's moving guys around and figuringout what's my best line up to get
to this starting pitcher and we'll gofrom there. But the pitch hit moves.
He's pushed the right buttons when he'sneeded to. You're not always going

(02:06:45):
to be right on that stuff.And he's done. I think he's done
an admirable job. I know theguys liking they're playing hard and they're preparing
hard, you know, and Idon't think there's anything else that you can
do. They respect him. He'sa nice guy, and uh, I
think he's a smart baseball man.I think he's the right guy for the
job. Love it, Steve.How cold was it in Chicago West So

(02:07:08):
I got seen on the TV theyshowed picture of you up there. I'm
just curious how cold was man?It was cold? But the second day
the cold the coldest day. I'mnot gonna lie. We closed the window.
I liked the window, and itsnuck a little crowd mic to one
of the cracks in that thing tojust to get a little bit annoyed.
But uh, those guys on theTV side, they wore it because the

(02:07:30):
cameras have to have that open spacethere. So we were kind of laughing.
I saw I saw blooming the highwayin the hallway. At one point
in the middle of the game.I asked you if you needed my jacket
because I was hot. Oh theywere. They were saying, look at
Sparks man over there, got thewind. They were having a blast with
it. And I'm thinking, well, that's that's called high I q Steve
Sparks knowing close that damn window.Brother, I'm not gonna suffer, man.

(02:07:55):
I'm not playing anymore, you know, And I don't have to tough
it out. Even the players,man, they've got in their doug out.
You feel sorry for players, man, they're hot, Yeah, most
of the time of the dougout.Screw that. When I get to the
bench or sitting on I'm going tobe my ass is warm. I'm not
telling you. Listen, tough guysstuff, you know, No thanks,
I'll save that for somebody else.Who wants to run and I'm wearing sleeves
when it's cold and not going barearmed. Okay, I got to put

(02:08:18):
ego aside. Great stuff, man. Uh, let's hope this is a
successful six games and then six moreon the road. The next four series
are pretty tough. But it's goodto be back home with a little confidence.
And we always love having you on. And thanks for all the good
insights, brother, We appreciate it. All right. Thanks. I think
they're turning the corner. Let's let'sgo get it. Yep, there you
go, hope, So and somegood signs at least, and that's a

(02:08:39):
good sign. But Steve also temperedin it, knowing now you got to
roll off three in a row.And that's where it starts. Sports Talk
seven ninety come back and discuss warSean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety where
Astros hit, Rockets play, andreal Texans talk. Yeah, it's a
bus, major bus. Can't messedwith. Chris Brown, Man, Chris

(02:09:01):
Brown. Why are those guys tripping? Crazy man? What are they fighting
about? Why are they they're feedingabout zoids? Yes, it's been somebody,
somebody knocking boots with somebody else's void. Is that what it is?
Yeah? Ten toes up, tentoes down? Why so, who's who?
Who started the feud when I knowit's been going on a while?

(02:09:24):
Chris Brown or Jose Quavo? Whostarted? I saw a movie over the
weekend, using a movie over anew release? Actually too? Yeah?
Well movie is it? It was? Uh? I can't remember it was.
Let me think for a second.The name it? I saw it.
It's on It's like a twenty twentyfour release. It was on the

(02:09:46):
video. It was with It'll Cometo Me. But he was there.
It's part of Oh with Travolta wasin it as well. They were they
were a bank robber team. ChrisBrown and Quavo reportedly had a beef that
began twenty seventeen when Quave Quavo wasrumored to be dating uh karsh A Tran,
Brown's ex girlfriend. Brown felt betrayedby Quevo's moves move as they reportedly

(02:10:09):
had a close relationship before that.Recently, Chris Brown released a distract targeting
Quavo, calling him the weakest linkout of his group, and bringing up
Quavo's former Migos group mate and nephewtake Off, who was shot and killed
in twenty twenty two. That actuallyhappened here in Houston. So Quavo rolled
up on his ex zoid. Let'ssay a name again, Brian, I
don't even know how. What isit? K Carucci? Yeah, karsh

(02:10:33):
trans okay, Kruci. Tell mehow you would pronounce this k A r

I thought it was crushe. No, it's a cheatch like yeah, okay,

(02:10:54):
yeah, there you go for me. Now, if it was just
a ch at the end, itwould make the sound of a k baruk
a lot of time, like ifyou said baruk or carouke. Yeah right.
So uh but back to Quevo,he's a friend of mine. Yeah,
so if it's his X, it'sone thing. But if you're as

(02:11:18):
if you guys are dogs and herolls up on her, now, I
got to that's kind of just that'skind of weak, right, a little.
So it's kind of weak unless yougo to your buddy and say,
listen, man house, do youmiss her? Right? Do you love
her? Now? Dude? Allfree if you guys, go ahead,
We're tight, just clear with youryour your your buddy, right, so
kind of kind of it's kind ofweak both ways. Eventually you got to

(02:11:41):
get over it, dude, she'syour ex. If you're still catching feelings
about your ex. But I understandbecause to me, there's that unwritten rule
that you just don't do your yourfellows like that. You don't especially because
you know, no matter what theysay, deep down, there's still feelings
right for the most part. Soweak by Jose okay at Quavo. But

(02:12:01):
Chris Brown ain't let it go,is he? So they are not.
So that's a eight that's a sevenyear feud now, huh man, And
what's the zoid's name again? CARUZI, there you go, man. So
yeah, Chris Brown bought up allthe tickets, uh to Cuevo's concert and
then like like thirty people showed up. I'm telling y'all right now, nobody

(02:12:26):
was going to no Cuavo concert?Was it just him? Yes, That's
what I'm saying. Nobody was goingto that. It was in Connecticut exactly.
Nobody's going the casino, No,it could or not even Mohegan sun
Well, there was like an eightseat bar. No, it was.
It looked like an auditorium on Yeah, it looked like a Narnia. Yeah,

(02:12:46):
like some kind of a like journalism, like like a journalism school at
one of the colleges. Hold threehundred people, a little quaint cozy concert.
Yeah it was. Uh, yeah, it looked like some kind of
arena. Oh, an arena Bridgeport, Connecticut is also just so what like
seventy five hundred person arena eight thousandtype of thing? Ten thousand maybe,

(02:13:07):
Yeah, like one hundred people showed, so he spent, but he spent.
He bought every ticket, most ofit. I want to say.
It was a solid like about fortypeople that was actually there, that were
actually showing. So it cost hima lot of coin though, So letn't
just cut off your own nose ofspicy fish, and he still performed cut
off your nose, spike fist.Got to give to forty people, so
you got to give them what theycame for. Bro come on, man,

(02:13:28):
Quavo by himself, that sounds likea real dominant concert, huh.
I mean, so he rolled upon brown zoid man, You can't be
zoidified, man, dude. Therewas like I mean either way, Quavo
got paid, yes he did,of course essentially paid also, but if
you also get yeah, he didit by selling tickets, but you know

(02:13:50):
if there's some back end bonuses thatgo with it. But if they bought
all the tickets, then as faras Quevo's concerned, they sold it out
right. Uh reportedly there was onlytwo hundred people that showed up. They
could have done that. It isin the backyard of his crib, right,
So those two keep on feud.Man, what now? What's is?

Sewan Salisbury, the US longtime friendshown Salisbury, Ryan Lima, Go

Sandford, Florida, at a nightclub just after midnight. Tank Dell was

(02:20:16):
a bystander during a shooting at aprivate event where authorities say a teenage gunman
wounded ten people after an altercation.A Texan spokesperson said Dell isn't seriously injured
and was released from the hospital andis traveling back to Houston, which would
be yesterday. In the statement officiallyfrom the Texans Tank Dell has been released

(02:20:37):
from the hospital and he is ingood spirits. We're in contact with him
and his family or and will providemore updates when appropriate, but ask that
you please respect his privacy at thistime. Our thoughts and prayers are with
everyone involved in that incident. Endquote. None of the victims in the
shooting at Cabana Live and Sanford sufferedlife threatening injuries, a Seminal County Sheriff's

(02:20:58):
office set in a statement. Itsaid the ten people were treated at a
local hospital for gunshot wounds, primarilybelow their waists. Whenness is told law
enforcement the shooting started after a fistfightbroke out. Somebody who wasn't even involved,
yep, drew a handgun. Ohwell, I just can't. If

(02:21:18):
you're going to fist fight, let'skeep it a fist fight. If that's
sixteen years old, sehn. Yeah, as we talked about, I don't
get it like you hit it aftera fistfight broke out, don't know.
I mean, you know nobody.I'm not sitting here and saying that we

(02:21:41):
should thumb up violence of any kind, but you know, the old school,
you're fighting me, I'm fighting you. Okay, both of you do
your thing and let's let's move on. Okay, But now people shooting somebody
that's not involved in fifteen people beatingup on one times are different, brother,
And uh, you know what,nightclub equal trouble. It seems that's

(02:22:01):
the way it feels all the timefor me, not me being in true
you know what I'm saying, truIt's like, oh yeah, and it's
a bummer because you go there tohave a good time and have a drink
and relax with your friends and listento music or whatever it is you do,
and you have to wonder walking outof doors if somebody's going to go
all crazy on you and a fistfightbreaks out. And I'll tell you what

(02:22:22):
though, that booze late at nightdoesn't usually doesn't end well sometimes if you
can't just get in your uber andjust take it to the house. Yeah,
but it's sad that we're sitting herediscussing this. I think the biggest
thing that I've noticed from this incidentis the way that the fan base is
kind of reacting out of the club. Yeah, why are you in the
club? Take dell, what areyou doing you need to be at home,

(02:22:43):
you know, rehabing, this,this and this. I think at
the end of the day, professionalathletes are still regular people and they want
to go out and they want todo their thing. Now, if you're
a professional athlete, you're rolling aroundwith the wrong type of people. Well
that you think you need to fixthat. That's exactly right. And I
don't know who he was rolling withthat night, you know what I'm saying.

(02:23:03):
I saw a video of like rightbefore the shooting happened and saves day.
It didn't look like a good groupof people. Okay, here's another
thing for me. When you you'rea fan saying you should be home rehabbing
at midnight on a Friday night orSaturday night. Now, the guys allowed,
that's this. I've told you thisbefore. And it's not having nothing

(02:23:24):
to do with guns or violence,you know shit. And like I said,
it has nothing to do with howyou feel about guns and home protection
and going hunting. I mean,I there you go. The Bay vanity.

(02:28:16):
sad that we're sitting here discussing this. I think the biggest thing that I've
noticed from this incident is the waythat the fan base is kind of reacting

What are you doing? You needto be at home, you know,
rehabing this, this and this.I think at the end of the
day, professional athletes are still regularpeople and they want to go out,

(02:28:41):
they want to do their thing.Now, if you're a professional athlete,
you're rolling around with the wrong typeof people, Well, that's a you
thing. You need to fix that. That's exactly right. And I don't
know who he was rolling with thatnight, you know what I'm saying.
I saw a video of like rightbefore the shooting happened and saves a.
It didn't look like a good people. Okay, here's another thing for me.

(02:29:03):
When you you're a fan saying youshould be home rehabbing at midnight on
a Friday night or Saturday night,the guy's allowed. That's this. I've
told you this before. And it'snot having nothing to do with guns or
violence. You know. Shit.And like I said, It has nothing
to do with how you feel aboutguns and home protection and going hunting.
I mean I have them arsenal ofmy house too. I'm not taking to

(02:29:24):
a club to shoot anybody. Ican tell you that I don't get it.
The stupidity that goes alcohol and gunsprobably not good mix. That makes
sense. But the whole thing forme is when we say it. When
Tony Roma, who I was livingin Dallas, I used to hear this
all the time. The guid goplay golf in February and and people were

(02:29:45):
pissed that he wasn't out training.What are you doing playing golf? You
should be throwing as if he's supposedto throw forty hours a day, I
mean a week and eight hours aday. And he shouldn't go out and
have fun and play golf. Everyevery athlete I've ever met enjoys himself,
whether it's golf. They like toshoot hoops, they like to go to
a club, they like to takea vacation. I mean, you're not
allowed to do anything. What inthe world is tankd Dell? Now,

(02:30:07):
like you said, whatever company he'skeeping, who he's hanging around, that's
for him. That's a hymn thing, But please please spare me the what
are you doing in the club ona Friday night in April? I'll tell
you what he's doing, trying toenjoy himself. Whether you agree with the
club or not, or where it'slocated, who the hell knows. But

(02:30:28):
I find it fascinating that but thatsame person that'll question him in the club
will be sitting at a bar drinkingduring a day, watching games on TV
and drinking themselves. What are yousupposed to say, Hey, get home,
you got a construction job, yougot a sales job on Monday.
Okay, you know. So youcan't tell a guy not to go enjoy
himself. Now, hopefully you're hangingaround the right people and you're not getting
in a fight or causing a fighter, putting yourself in harm's way. But

(02:30:52):
good gracious, it's so silly.Now if you told me on a Saturday
night before a Sunday game he brokecurfew and was doing it. Now,
now come see me run a Fridaynight. We need rested. At some
point in time. You got tounderstand what your day job is. But
I don't know how a guy's notallowed to go out on a Friday or
Saturday night in the off season,and people are questioning, why aren't you
rehab And yeah, because I knowa lot of athletes who wake up at

(02:31:13):
midnight and go to rehab meaning aknee or a shoulder. Stop it.
You guys allowed to have a goodtime all the other stuff that goes on
you and I aren't privy to becausewell, we weren't there, or who
the company is keeping or whoever wasthe company hanging around, or why guys
are fighting outside over a woman orpride or ego or money, whatever it
is that you're fighting about. Butplease, please spare me the you should

(02:31:35):
be at home on a Friday nightin your off season or Saturday. No,
you're actually allowed to go out andeat and have a drink and enjoy
yourself and do it smartly. Sobut and how do you control some sixteen
year old wielding a gun on peopleand just shooting when he wasn't even involved
in a fight. Yeah, thestupidity continues to baffle me when it comes
to people to do that. Yeah, why is a sixteen year old out

(02:31:58):
near the club at midnight? Andalso why is he carrying around a gun
that I can't answer for your brother, I can't answer that for you.
Well, to me, you knowwhat it says you're out looking for trouble.
That's what that tells me. Youencourage trouble. And then when you
get around the club, out inthe bar and people are fighting, yell

(02:32:18):
and screaming, you think the gun'sthe answer at the club, you know,
go to the shooting range. Yeah, okay, save the bodies.
In real life. Yeah, soTank Dell did not suffer life threatening injuries.
He is back in Houston scared.Some is scared the living hell out
of you. Though you go outthere, you think I just have to
have a good time. But pleasespare me the What are you doing out

(02:32:41):
in the club in April? Well, like most people are. What are
you doing out to dinner having abeer with your wife in April? Why'd
you guys stay out till eleven o'clock? Well, because I work hard and
I want to go out and relax. Oh what a novel concept. Okay,
Sometimes trouble catches up to you thatyou don't expect to have happened.
Yeah, and when it comes tostaying in the club, you don't know.
But they're not Like I always tellyou, man, you keep your

(02:33:07):
head on a swivel. Let's justput it that way. Guys getting cole
cocked and all that other stuff thathappens nowadays. Man, it's nuts.

you can't. I taught you thatphrase, you mingle, You cannot trouble.
Yeah, that is trouble. Youdon't want a racketeer. You don't
want to co mingle? You sureas hell you don't want to hear that
Rico term. No, sure,don't. Oh you sure don't. Hey.

(02:38:26):
Chris Ballard, GM of the Colts, had some things to say about
the wide receiver that they drafted,Donni Mitchell. Apparently Donni Mitchell from some
of these quote unquote sources, fellin the draft because of his also quote
unquote character issues. And it's homebecause we heard the same thing about c.
J. Stroud leading into last year'sdraft. This is what Chris Ballard

(02:38:48):
had to say. I don't,I don't know. I mean I read
some of the that was set ontea. I mean just a typical excuse
my language, are typical league unnamedsources, you know, bad interview,
that's such. I mean, it'spardon my language, your name, like,

(02:39:09):
put your name on it. I'mtired of we tear these young men
down. These are twenty one,twenty two young men. And if you
can, if people out there cantell me, they don't they're perfect in
their lives. It's crap. It'scrap. This is a good kid,
and you know, for for that, for those reports to come out like

(02:39:31):
you know, my I said itlast year. Uh, it's it's I'm
sorry. I apologize for the language. I don't, but I do.
I apologize for the language, andit goes out a clus forty seven more
times. But that's dropped some fbombs and uh some bs's, I'm sorry,
I apologize for the language. Wellwe got to say that for a
drop for us up some point intime. He's right about I don't know

(02:39:56):
what the character issues that these socalled uh that he dropped in the draft
because of that, don't put theirname on it. That's my favorite.
I'm with him on that. That'salways been my favorite. Don't put your
name on it, but be acoward and go behind the scenes and try
to ruin a kid before he evensteps up there if he's got character issues
the Colts couldn't find it. Onlytakes one to love. He's a screw

(02:40:16):
them, meaning the people who doit. But man, isn't it amazing
how somebody always try to do it? But those bitch ass cowards won't put
their name on who said it?Why because they don't want to get found
out. That and a source closeto you could be a tree. Okay,
so who the hell knows? Butapparently the Colts didn't think so.
And I'll tell you what, bugsman, And I've told you this before

(02:40:37):
that used to drive Danny Green orcoach in miss so crazy. Did he
come in after a game and walkin there, and then he'd stand up
there and say, oh, youknow, if you're not winning or you
lose a game. And some playerin a locker room would tell her during
the week, tell Amedia guy thathe wanted on his side and giving him
the insight, and say a playerin the Vikings locker room, and it

(02:41:00):
happens in every locker room. Anunnamed player who wanted confidentiality, didn't want
to be named, said this aboutso and so he wanted to He was
adamant about put if you've you gotthe guts to say, put your name
on it in this locker room.And I'm with him one hundred percent.
If you're man enough to throw somebodyunder the bus in a locker room or

(02:41:22):
leading up to a draft, showus what you got, step right up
and put you you're not gonna giveyour sources away, but stick your name
on it so we can actually findout who you are. Put it on
there, so we can kind ofdo some due diligence and find out if
what you're saying is true or isit just he said she said. Somebody
along the line said, yeah,I don't like the guy. He's he's
a clown, or he doesn't workhard or any of those things. And

(02:41:46):
if some other teams felt some otherteams felt that that that's the way he
is, well the Colts didn't,and that's really what matters. The one
that liked him did it, andhe's got a chance. He doesn't have
to prove it to anybody. Hejust got to keep doing it and prove
it to the Colts and go outand do a thing. So yeah,
I'm with Ballard on that that thecon We hear it all the time sources
and this guy's at this, andthis guy's that it is. It's it's

(02:42:09):
a coward move. If you're gonnado it, grow a set and tell
us who you are so we cankind of put a name with a face
and knowing who's the one bus tossingsomebody whether it's true or not, put
your name on it, Yeah,because it tells me if you don't put
your name on it, then I'mgoing to question every ounce of if it's
true or not. And good forthe Colts for doing their due diligence on
how they felt about the kid?What why? Like why do we not

(02:42:31):
weep? But why is there peopledo it therefore like that? Well,
because everybody wants to be a hero, and look what I broke, and
they'll be telling their buddies on theside. And if I'm his buddy,
know what you say to them,Well, you broke the story. We'll
go get credit for it. Tellus who were talking about? Who's the
source close to you? That thirtyone teams didn't like him? Or that

(02:42:52):
he dropped in the draft because ofwhat? Did he smoke a joint?
Did he did he cuss out ateammate? Did he and a coach have
a difference of opinion? Doesn't makeyou a bad guy, just makes it
was a bad moment, okay,So yeah, I get so tired of
it. And in any of thosethings, if you got if you got
to set put your name out.You don't have to tell us your source,
but put your name behind it orin front of it, so at

(02:43:13):
least we can treat you with somerespect. But right now, how do
you give any respect to somebody who'safraid to do that? Yea, even
if you're the guy that told theguy that told the guy, Yeah,
coward move. So good for theColts and good on them for stepping out
and getting one hell of a footballplayer. I can tell you that I
want to talk about one of thedraft picks for the Houston Texans, Kalin
Bullock. You played for the USCTrojans. Obviously, Sean, we've we've

stadium, No, I have not, Like we all have to preface,
Yeah you do if you had afoot log. Yeah yeah, no,
he didn't cut off an inch foranybody. I uh, I'm gonna say,

(02:46:41):
yeah. I mean on a I'mstarving. It's been one of those
days. Yeah, yeah, Icould have half a dozen is not that
many though, because of the sizeof that probably ends up three foot longs.
I can probably go there right now, but I don't have that in
me anymore to go there and likeeat three double burgers like you used to
after one. Man, I'm like, you know, you kind of train

(02:47:01):
your stomach, right, so butI can go get me. If I
were to go tomorrow the game,I'd probably I'd probably latch onto the trifecta,
which isn't that much. You know, cold beer, a little trifecta,
maybe a little side, the littleside show with it, you know,
a relish, you know, somemustard and ketchup. Yes, I

(02:47:22):
put ketchup on dogs. I knowyou do too, right, So I'm
doun some mustard and ketchea. Ilike some peppers, I like. I
like the Chicago dog with ketchup.Yes, that's that's what I like.
I'll also just like a good oldfashioned hot dog with some uh, what's
it called mustard and cheese on it. Yeah, little cheese. I like
like the chili cheese dog too,little cheese. Throw some little onions on

(02:47:43):
top of that chili cheese. Ohyeah, so you know it's weird.
I didn't know you liked the onionson your meat hot dog. So who
doesn't like a little spice, littlethe little kick. Okay? Is it
the size of the hot dog thatchallenges you? No, it's when it
comes to eating all of it.No, it's not at all. If
it tastes good, I'll eat it, okay. Yeah, I just didn't

(02:48:03):
know if you like smallers. No, I prefer so I don't have to
buy four of them. I justwant one. Yeah, give me,
give me the big one. Yeah, give me the big one. It's
like triple triple A's mantra. Youknow, just give me the big one.
What you guys in there talking abouteating food? Eat food? Dollar
dog night, okay, not talkingabout big women, triple the trifecta.

(02:48:26):
Yeah, give me three. Ifit's free, give me, give me
three three bucks, Yeah, threebucks. Dogs. I can always go
back and double down if I needto. Our soda is a dollar two
dollar hot dog night for that thatI don't know, but I doubt it.
I doubt it. You have ahot dog without a bee. Well,
you can't have like like orange juicewith a hot dog, right,
No soda or a beer a beer? Right, It's like pizza. You

(02:48:48):
can't have a soda pizza. Hey, what do you want with your pizza?
Give me a milk? Your yeah, when you're four? Yeah,
kids, you know how kids comeback here? Hey, honey, let's
get you get your milk, yourwhole milk a pizza. What are we
doing feeding kids milk with pizza?That just sounds like indigestion. But that's
also a school. That's like aschool cafeteria. Old school pizza. Yeah,

(02:49:09):
the square, the square pizza.Oh, same way, no doubt.
But boy, you look forward tothat pizza day and if you ate
it now, if you ate itnow like you thought you loved it back
then, you'd blow chow. Butthat was that was the deal. Yeah,
but I don't think I ever toldyou so. I'm in the third
grade. This is Brooks class andliving in Arizona, and we come out

(02:49:30):
of there and I don't know ifyou've ever smelt sauer kraut at a at
a junior at an elementary school cafeteria. I can smell it now, let
me tell you. And suerakraft canbe delicious, right, you get the
right sour krowd. My cops lovegood souera krawd. I know a lot
of people do. I walked outof that classroom. You know, they
have to form a line when you'rein the third grade. We're walking to
lunch to go into the cafeteria.It was dogs in the with kraut that
day. I started dry heathing,dude, and that was my first of

(02:49:56):
the smell at that age. Youknow, my mom wasn't making sour crowd
on a regular basis. Go toget a dog. My dad would put
it on it. If you're atyou know, some getting a dog somewhere
at a ball game or something,if they haven't I do. I smelled
that and I dry heaved my wayinto the cafeteria. Lunch was done.
I couldn't do it and everything,I mean, it was awful, that
smell. Whatever it was it was. It was dude, it was awful.

(02:50:18):
And I can remember where I wasexactly where we came out of that
class and where I was when thedry heave kicked in over that crowd smell.
But yeah, man, some ofthe things we pair with food.
You can't have milk and pizza ifyou're over the age of six. So
I don't know if they give youa soda for a dollar A dollar dog,
now I can't. I don't thinkso. When you're a dollar dog
night, Are you a club sectionguy? Or you like the one hundreds?

(02:50:41):
I do bold. I like tosee. I'd like to I'd like
to mix and match. I'll sometimesgo. I love to sit behind the
Crawford boxes. I like to sitbehind the right right center field. I
like that angle to the ballpark.Yeah, I do, big time.
Matter of fact, I'd like theloan like boat set. I've said,
behind the dugout the one hundred.Those are fine and dandy. I like

(02:51:01):
them, but I'll be honest withyou, I prefer to be up one
like the lows or the plaza levelwhich they call it at different ballparks.
Whatever. I like to be up. I like the angles of it.
That's why I said the best seatin baseball is the first row at Fenway
Park. Yeah, on the monster, I'm talking about that. So I
like those I like to sit withyou. I'd like to sit out there
in the outfield seats, and II don't mind. I mean, I
like buying the tickets and sitting outthere and enjoying it, so it doesn't

(02:51:24):
really matter for me. There's nota lot of bad seats. So the
one or two hundreds I guess ofthe low section or whatever they call that
there. Yeah, so when you'resitting, let's say you're in right center
field. So when you're sitting outthere on Dollar Dog Night, you got
you a couple of hot dogs,you got a cold beer in your hand.
Do you take there? Do youtake your replica ring off when you
eat that hot dog? Seat?No? No, I wear them all.
Okay, one of them might putit in a gold chain around my
neck. That's right, Like we'regoing steady right exactly, So you put

(02:51:46):
it on your put it on yourchain, put it on your neck so
it doesn't get into the mustard,the ketchup the relish. Yeah, you
gotta get clean. Yeah, Yeah, there's no question yeah, yeah,
size perfectly, Yes, I doyou get it? You have her,
you know, maybe put some realdiamonds, right, you want to do
it like the pros, right?Yeah, Well, I just want to
make sure you didn't get your replicaring dirty. No, I keep it
fresh. Usually it's a safe topositbox, and wee would have taken it.

(02:52:09):
I don't think there's any replica ringgive aways this season. Well,
we didn't win the ring last year, and win the ring then when the
ALCA, we don't put the bannersup for second place. Well, the
Lakers pull one up for the inin season tournament and apparently the Colts pull
one up years ago and Andrew tookhim to the AFC Championship game. Uh,

Over the week, Let's get afinal phone call seven one three two

(02:54:22):
one two five seven ninety Steve,good morning, Hey guys, let me
do my jokes or whatever you callthem, and then while get to my
point. Okay, So Sean,the first thing he said this Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday. Let me tellyou we think of the docor it's Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Saturday. Then Sean,
you said you're not in your prime. Well not me. I've always

(02:54:43):
looked at you as Doc Holiday,and I'll say, not me. I'm
in my prime. So now wejust train these guys on two different movies.
The point is, my aunt datedJoe Piccolow about down in Pullo Lauderdale,
a real long time ago. Youknow that movie Brian's Song And in
the movie Brian Piccolo, Yeah,Brian Piccolo, Joe Piccolow, she went
out with Joe Picklo. Yeah.Okay, so that's a long time ago.

(02:55:09):
She's in her eighties. I'll justsay it that way. And of
course I was, you know,infatuated with the movie. And of course
Brian Pickley was mad because he wasrooming with a black guy. And guess
what, and what the gale said, says we all pick he wouldn't have
made the team because he wasn't supposedto make the team, and so had
to look at a different angle.So I'm looking at a different angle when
this guy's cussing for twenty seven times, he's complaining about somebody putting out the

(02:55:30):
word and I want you, Iwant your ad on this. How do
we know what in him to doit? So he get to pick whatever
the pick was twenty picks later,and then he cusses just to make the
guy look good versus him look bad. Taking one for the team. Hanging
up and listen appreciate it. Stevetalking about Chris Ballard. If you missed
the audio, I think what Steve'ssaying is, how do we know the
Colts didn't put it out there forhim to fall to the Colts? I

(02:55:54):
think teams have done that. Idon't know. It sounded like Ballard was
awfully passionate about it. But Steve, I mean, I get the point.
Put it this way, false informationhas been put out on a kid
by teams in the past somewhere thatthat team who put it out is the
same team that took them. Yes, that's happened. We all that has

(02:56:16):
happened. I'm going to give ChrisBallard and the Colts the benefit of the
doubt thinking that that wasn't the casehere and whoever it was. But Steve,
yes, that stuff does happen,and there's no question the hell.
I don't think any of us willever know unless you know somebody else says,
yeah, Chris Ballard told me thatthe kid wasn't a good kid.
I wouldn't imagine that they did that, but I do believe that happens,

(02:56:37):
and it has happened, no doubt. You're trying to get somebody to faulty.
It's a hell of a point byyou, Steve that. Don't put
it past any of these guys todo anything they can to get their hands
on a player they want, becausetalent obviously keeps people in jobs, meaning
coaches and front office people. Idon't think it's the case here. He
was awfully passionate, but maybe he'sreally good at hiding his passion. I'm

(02:56:58):
gonna give him the benefit doubt untilwe find out different, or we may
never find out. But they gota good player. But yes, false
information is let out by a lotof people. I just hate the false
information that makes the kid. Youcan give all the false information who you're
gonna draft, but when you gotto bury a you know, a kid
and make him sound worse than heis over something if it's not true.

(02:57:18):
I just think that's heinous. Ido, But it does exist. Yes,
absolutely, Did you buy a chance? See who the Dallas Cowboys are
bringing back? Ezekiel Elliott? Yeah? Yeah? Is that really legit?
Yes? This came from Ian Rappaportabout an hour ago, National Inside for

(02:57:39):
NFL Networkian Rappaport at Rapsheet on Twitter. Yeah, the Cowboys are going to
bring back Zeke Elliott to bolster offense. Shout out trip Ley, Zeke's coming
back. Maybe let's go Cowboys.Boo boo boo. They showed some highlights

(02:58:01):
of Ezekiel Elliot yesterday and Ryan Shazierwas in it. That's how long ago.
Well, listen, you're getting themat a different price, that's for
sure. Get some depth out ofit. So they hope, So I
hope. I want to believe what. They didn't want to be active in

(02:58:22):
free agency, but this is theirresponse. They bring back to Ezekiel Elliott,
somebody we already had. Jerry Jones, what are you doing? That's
that's well, Jerry's got a gig. I guess and Zeke, I mean,
I give you some depth there,I guess. Not gonna be your
starter, but give you some giveyou some stuff, maybe che price.

(02:58:45):
What's a minimum minimum salary? Let'ssee. I mean he's a cowboy.
He's not put it this way.He's not gonna be a difference whether the
Cowboys winning Super Bowl or not.Okay, Zeke Elliott's best football is behind
him. That's the simple, simpleway to put it. It doesn't even
have the terms yet. Yeah,it won't be it won't be for much.

(02:59:05):
But listen, if he's a backupand he can give you ten twelve
touches a game, is that thatsuch a bad thing for if it's if
it's not for a lot of money. No, but they didn't get in
the mix on anything during free agency. That's what the Cowboys don't be shocked
by. That is the Cowboys don'tbe shocked by. That's r trip Ley.

(02:59:28):
I'm a Texas fan. He changedman, that's right. I'm sure
there's some say, oh, weadd a great depth and you know what,
he may give you some short yardagepunch. I'll tell you one thing
he can do. He's a goodpass protector and getting your quarterback and drop
back. He's been known to thumpa few people. So maybe as a
backup, you know, minimum touches, he'll be a good guy to have

(02:59:48):
spell your starting back. He's notover the hill, but he's his best
football is behind him. Yeah,so he's going to join a depth chart
of Rico Dowbdell, Deuce Vaughan,and Royce Freeman. Yeah, that's a
that's a there's some experience in theroom, at least a little bit of
it. That's going all in.According to Jerry Jones, there you go

(03:00:11):
all in big, that's all in. Wow. Good thing. That Texans
made some really good moves this offseasonand they had a pretty good draft as
well, a very good draft andan excellent offseason, one of the best
in the NFL. Yeah, weonly got better. That's important. Only
got better. Hey, are wegoing to see a move today from the

(03:00:35):
Astros? And who could it befor Joey Loperfido being brought up loft to
wait and see. Stay tuned righthere to Sports Talk seven on your home
