Saulsbury. Okay, let's do this. Sewan Salisbury, the USC Truths,
longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, BryanLima, go Lobos. This is the
Seawan Salisbury Show. They take athree to two series lead, Celtics close

(00:26):
out the Heat. They advanced inthe Eastern Conference playoffs in the NBA Shawn
trip Lee, good morning, andthe Astros losing next straings Justin Verlander pitched
his ass off, didn't get alot of run support and they fall indn't

(00:46):
I would say, did good morning? By the way, good morning,
good morning? I would say,uh, didn't get a lot of run
support. We might be saying thaton the just a bit underrated side?
Would we probably are downplaying that abit. You feel me? Dog?
Another thing, and another one,and another one and another one. You
know what I what I loved aboutCleveland's game last night is how they earned

(01:10):
that runner on second extra inks.It's great, isn't it? I mean
you know the way you what Iloved is the base hit to right and
then stole second to get himself inposition in the tenth inning to be driven
in. You know what I'm saying, Well, what a great Well,
that's right, we don't play.We're amateur hour little league because we just
we just want to make sure thatour baseball players aren't tired. It's the

(01:34):
next day the Manford man. Yeah, well it is the it's a gimmick
rule, and we add nauseum.I just I don't care whose team it
is. If the Astros win byit in Red Sox, I don't care
who it is, because eventually you'regonna get beaten by it, you're gonna
win with it. I'm not Idon't feel sorry for players that got to
play if they had to play fifteeninnings in the game ended at two twenty

(01:57):
and there's eight people in the stands, Oh well it does not. I
don't care that their tiele was shown. And the last thing, when somebody,
like in hockey or football, notsaying it's a tough guy sport,
here's when you can complain to meabout saying. And you know what,
I'd rather see an outfielder have topitch in the fourteenth inning than giving them
a free runner on second and thesecond inning, I mean, in the

(02:19):
tenth inning. I would It's justsomeday you got to like we used to,
you just got to gut it out, man, you'll get a couple
of those during the year. It'sfifteen inning. What we let them do
it in the playoffs and postseason.Well, they're well rested by the end
of No, no, they're not. They're alway you're going to be tired.
The construction workers tired because he hadto stay up last night but he
didn't get somebody to come overnight andput half the roof on for him to

(02:40):
where he's got to finish on time, so they're under budget. I honestly
I hate it. We do lessnow, and I'm not saying it's the
players. I'm talking about the rules, right ry. I know we've talked
about before, but it honestly drivesme crazy. The we pussify everything now
we just do and well sewn.Aren't you worried about injuries. No,

(03:02):
I'll tell you what. I'll beworried about injuries when the guys on the
mound in the twelfth inning and aplayer gets to run out of the dugout
and when he releases the ball hithim in his ribcage. Then I'll worry
about injuries. Well, they getfatigued, I don't care. I don't
then to add two extra guys tothe roster and increase rosters. See,

(03:23):
you have thirty players all year longfor one hundred and sixty two games.
All right, if that's what youwant to do, I don't feel sorry
for anybody. And I and here'sanother thing, Well, Sean, what
if they have a day game thenext day and no offense? Have you
ever partied, stayed up late atnight and then got up on money and
went and played a game, youknow, like, or had to practice
the next day on your football teamor baseball team basketball? Sure, you

(03:45):
have plenty of times. Matter offact, guys in the NBA and baseball
guess what they do? First ofall, you think that I'll just use
it. Do you think that JamesHarden had curfew in the NBA? No?
As right, So you know youmay be tired, but you know
what I know is sometimes you justgot to gut it out with Sean.
You know, when people are tiredof mccans change, they get hurt.
Well, we're having more injuries thanever, and we've got more gimmicks in

(04:06):
baseball than ever. We got morearm injuries and I'm not worried about that.
Sorry, Then you add an extrapitcher and he'll be the the uh
you know, the guy has tostart. I'd rather add two extra players
to a roster then have a tenthinning where you just give a free runner.
It is another thing in life that'snot hear and will sean fans don't

(04:26):
want to stay up that late,well the good watch it on video the
next day. If you don't wantto stay up that late, you get
up at three thirty. I getup at three thirty triple E. And
there's people who work a lot harder, and we do got more demanding jobs
and getting up and talking sports andentertainment. I know it's a rant,
but to me, we feel likewe have to change everything to make it

(04:46):
right. Change doesn't always equal good. Sometimes you make change for the wrong
reasons. And we let a twentytwo we let twenty twenty COVID stuff change
the rules of a baseball game.Okay for that year, you lie,
fine, go back, go backand do what you don't have to earn
it. A pitcher could be throwngreat, you know, come in in
the tenth and have every pitch perfect, hits one on the black guy throws

(05:11):
his bat out there and bloop singerleft. You lose a game, now
that guy would normally be on firstbase, then the next guy grounds into
a double play, and then youget out of the inning and you get
a chance to go to the eleventh. It's to me and I know,
well, is it really that biga deal? Will the fans fans pay
to watch a baseball game? Now? If you're on the Cleveland's happy tonight,

(05:33):
But in two weeks they're gonna bebummed out. Did somebody beat them
like that? So it has zeroto do with the fact that the Astros
lost last night. It has everythingto do with we're not getting our money's
worth, and then we're gonna getmad at the pitcher for giving up a
bloop single with a guy on secondor a basement with a guy on second
because somebody threw their bat at itand he gets the loss and he didn't

(05:56):
even get a chance to say,okay, I walk the first guy.
Yeah. What do you hear aboutfootball overtime? What are the people who
say, when you say just suddendeaths from the start? Give offense,
defense and special teams all in thefield. Offense defense at least one try
in the NFL, and then afterthat, it's both get a chance.
It's not you score first and youwin automatically. Right, I've been during
the regular season. I'm talking aboutall the time. And then you'll get

(06:17):
the pleeple say, well, thenyou defense should have got to stop.
Okay, then the pitcher should thenthe hat shooter, the shooter, and
the hitter should have had to earnfirst base or second base. Right,
what's the why is one okay andthe other isn't? Well, I don't
I don't understand it, and you'renot gonna talk to me. I'm sorry.

(06:39):
I know they play a lot ofgames, but they get to sleep
in they go. It ain't likehockey or somethinghere, you go in to
play one game and get out ofthe NBA. You can play one game
and leave, and you got toplay the next night or two nights later,
and coast to coast you're usually therethree or four days. You get
to go out sleep and if oneof those times you got to play a
fifteen inning game and there's nobody onsecond base in the tenth that didn't earn
it, oh, well happens.So I hate it. I think it's

(07:03):
a gimmick. There's nothing good aboutit and oh that's old school baseball,
Pierce, Yeah, sure is.And you know what, we loved it
then, so I don't And youknow what, we're gonna fix something else
to this awso you know they're gonnaadd something this offseason. When it comes
around, then we're gonna say whatwe're doing. What when don't we get
to make homeplate bigger? For thestrike zone? When's that coming, buddy?

(07:26):
Where it matches? When when's thatcoming where? Well? You know
what, you know why. Theywon't do that. They'll make it smaller,
you know why. So we havemore offense, even tougher on the
pitcher, So they'll do that.Yet, tell me we got to put
a guy on second base so wedon't tire people out, No extra innings,
screw major League Baseball, and nooffense. If the player bitches about
it, oh well, I'm notworried. Your twenty five million dollars or

(07:46):
your two point five million dollars oryour five hundred thousand dollars. I'm not
getting in your wallet. But ifyou can't play tired the next day,
how many times do you work inyour kids? I know with quarterbacks,
I'll drop him back fifteen twenty fivetimes in a row, and I'll say,
guess what what I'll do is I'lldrop back. We'll go through a
drill and I'll say drop back,and I want you to sprint forty We
don't have any timeouts. As weget closer to the season, you know,

(08:09):
I'm trying to work them because I'mnot a strength and conditioning coach.
I'm a quarterback coach, and soI want the everything I do is with
the football in their hand, soto train him because I'm going to tell
you the movement's different running track.That's good their strength and conditioning, but
I want to program them for theirmind not to wwilt when it's duress or
when they're tired, because when you'retired, you become a physical coward and
a mental cowerd. You do weall do so like, oh I wanna

(08:31):
you start to create excuses of whyyou didn't make a play. I'll drop
them back. If I boom,drop back, drop back, and they'll
say take off, take off running, give me forty yards and sprint back.
And then you know what we'll dowhen we get back. Receivers are
sitting there, I want you toimmediately get in and drop back three more
straight times. We have a timeouts, buddy, we got a twelve play
drive. You got to throw everytime. You're gonna be exhausted. How

(08:52):
are you thinking then? And Iwant you to think eleven on eleven.
I'm gonna call out the coverage onyour third time when you're exhausted. We
don't have a timeout. And thenmaybe I'll say, spiked the ball.
You got a first down. Nowwe'll take our Breath's the way it works,
man, That's why you get paid. That's why you elevate, and
that's why. And you know what, if a pitcher loses this concentration in
the fourteenth inning, you get thehome run. That's how we win.
I don't consider tenth inning wins.And second, I consider wins like that

(09:16):
gimmick. That's not a walk offwin for me. That's just a and
now it is by the rule,but the rule sucks. I don't know
why we do it. I justdon't understand why they made this a full
time thing now, Like why rodManfred? Why was it in a temporary
Yeah, like, okay, wedid it during the COVID season and then
I think they did it again intwenty twenty one, and then when the

(09:37):
new CBA came out in twenty twentythree, they're like, yeah, let's
just do it again. Yeah,institute a full time from here on out.
Great point are you making? Areyou mad? Now? I know
people wanted faster games. Instead oftwo hours and thirty minutes, we want
two hours and twenty seven minutes.Are right, But when it gets to
extra innings, tell me you knowthe last thing you're thinking about. I
know people say, man, I'mtired, but I can't miss this.

(09:58):
I'm never thinking about now. I'mthinking about man I got to GetUp,
or I'm missing this. I'm notthinking about man. I wish there was
a guy on second. We couldend this game quick. You're thinking about
baseball and scratching a win out.If you're gonna do it, put the
guy on first. Put the guyin first, so they have to at
least earn two base hits or agapper where the guy can score from first.
And you at least give the picturea chance, even though you gave

(10:20):
a free runner like you walk theguy. At least a ground ball,
get out of a double play.You know what they want to do.
They want to speed it up,and Major League Baseball wants out. They
don't want to have to deal withall the fourteen to fifteen inning games and
TV and all that stuff. Screwyou, see what I'm saying. Okay,
then, if you're gonna gimmick me, gimmick me on first base,
now, at least make them earnOh, we got to double in the

(10:41):
gap. Now second, third,and if the pitcher gets rewarded for a
routine listen, a routine ground ballto second base with a runner on second
and no outs gets the third.Now there's one out, sacrifice fly wins
it, So you really haven't earnedit the way you're supposed to, at
least on first. If you're gonnagimmick met, you're gonna have to get

(11:01):
two hits, you see, unlessones into the seats are a deep gap,
a gapper that rolls around. Theguy's got a speed merchant on first
and the scores. I hate it. I don't know why we gimmick everything
up just to speed things up.To me, I think it sucks ass
I do. Yeah, I'm nota fan of it. I hate it.
And if they had it won lastnight, I'd be saying the same
thing. For Cleveland fans. Ipromise you I don't care who won the

(11:22):
guy. I mean, I care, but about that the way they want
it. No, I hate itas you should. I just don't understand
why they even made this full time. It makes no, you know,
exactly sense to me why they madethis full time. Look at society.
We love something for nothing that youdidn't earn. But we'll we'll reward you.
You want me to go into thatspeech or should we change stations so

(11:45):
it comes into a news and politicalthing? You want to go there?
I would, Yeah, we can't. Yeah, you and I both of
it. But it's too early inthe morning for me to have people wake
up saying, oh gosh, Sean, I hear this on the news every
day. Let's stick to the waywe have laughs and too. But I
know people are thinking the same thingwe are. Yeah, ridiculous. Man
astros fall in extra innings justin Verlinderpitched his ass off. Let's take a
look at his outing. That's nexton Sports Talk seven ninety This is the

(12:09):
shot in Salsbury show. Yes,that's very nice now with that fresh leather
scent on Sports Talk seven ninety sixo'clock on deck show here on seven ninety
final of that game last night,three to two, Justin Verlander pitched extremely

(12:35):
well seven innings, six hits,two hour and runs, three walks,
two k's, ninety seven pitches,gave up a bomb. Rafael Montero coming
in pitching well again, and youknow what, are we going to bury
the lead today? I have theno idea. What the hell Victor Quarantini

(12:56):
was, thank you, thank you, That's not was not gonna fall,
that's not Let's not bury the lead. Listen. This has nothing to do
with how good he's been here,because he has. But we're judging.
Hey, we judge every game.We got to look into it. I

(13:18):
love aggressive play, but if thatwas how two B, we'd be like,
what are you doing? Matter offact, say that's well, that's
how right. Everything he does isgreat, but yes, don't let him
be the key base runner for youexcept running. I'm still trying to figure
out. I'm watching it live andsaying this, was there two outs?
I am I'm saying, I'm honestly, I'm saying, did I miss something?

(13:41):
Is there two outs? And I'lltell you what he round third?
He won't even look at he wasaggressive, there's gonna be a play at
the plate. And I'm like,well, my man was gone. Am
I wrong here? Yeah? Andthen I'm sitting here thinking, okay,
guy got off good. Even ifit would have been falling. Oh,
he's gonna be say from home,because boy, he was running aggressive.

(14:01):
And then I'm thinking, no,it's one out. This this catch,
you're still this catch is still goingto give the next hitter a chance to
drive you in. Victor, Ihave absolutely and he was, dude,
he was going to ass over toyou, you know what, ass over

(14:22):
teacups or tea kettle, whatever itis. I mean, it didn't matter.
His head was. He wouldn't lookat it anything but getting home.
Now, I understand it was agreat play in left field, but that
ball hung in the air long enoughand the left fielder gets a good jump.
You have to hold, you know, you go back to where you
when I say hold, you're nottagging up, but at least you're off

(14:43):
the base, staring at the catch, thinking if it falls all Walt's to
third base, I may not score. But now I got runners on first
and third with one out, Asacrifice fly and we're right back at it.
You get my point, But I'mtalking this man took off. He
was he was he was qualifying forthe four by one hundred. Brother,

(15:03):
there was four by two hundred becausethe third base is the turn? Right?
What are you doing? And whileI love the aggressiveness, you just
can't. No, you can't.Man, You know what it is?
Right? Are we sure he knewit was one out? I don't know,
or do we think it was twoouts? And I don't know have

(15:24):
we heard did he respond? Havewe heard any sound from him? I
sat there and wonder or was itjust you know what, I'm gonna take
a fly or yeah, I'm assumingit's gonna drop. I think I'm assuming
I do too. I'm trying togive him the benefit I mean, but
you can't either way. It's like, you got to know that there's not
two outs, and you also gotto know that that play, there was

(15:46):
enough air on the baseball, eventhough it was hit pretty solid, to
know that it had a chance tobe caught. And if it has a
chance to be caught, you can'tmake the last out. You can't get
doubled off for the last out.He just can't. So while I love
his aggressiveness, It kind of fitswith who the Astros have been when there

(16:07):
is a weakness. Base running isnot one of their strengths. No,
and we know that, and thatcost them at least another at bat,
and again the extra inning thing.And you know Cleveland had put that away
and got the run because of theirtheir hit with a guy on second and

(16:27):
he scores. I just you know, that's the elephant in the room,
meaning, well, it's not justone play, it's the last one.
We remember. You cannot get doubledoff like that. And it's not like
a double off on a The guygoes and jumps over the fence and catches
it and you're at third base,have to come back, touch third base,
round it, get back to second, and he just hoses you at

(16:48):
second base. You sliding back inbecause everybody in the building thinks that ball's
over the fence, right, Yeah, yeah, I get this ball was
close enough, whore. You justhave to get off the base to you
know, give a little look.Even if you don't score, there's one
out with the runs on first andthird, even if you don't score.

(17:08):
Yeah, he was like half wayhome when the ball got called. That
that cat was rolling. That's justthat that that that was a baseball iq
little brain fog. I feel likeit had to be. He was just

(17:30):
making a play, trying to makea play, right like, I mean
there, there's just no no otherway unless he just completely forgot that there
was. Maybe, but I doyou don't remember. We always talk about
the things you can control, andthere was two of them right there.
If he thought if he thought ifhe thought that it was two outs,
you got to know that it's not. If he thought that it was one

(17:53):
out, then you have to dowhat base run to do. Get off
the bag, be prepared so soyou don't get all of a sudden if
he misses it, then the centerfielder comes and picks it up and throws
you out at third base because you'relate leaving or you're too far off.
He throws you out at second base, right because the guy drops the ball
and you think he's there to throwyou at You just got to it's kind
of a tweiner where you've got tobe off enough where you know you'll get

(18:14):
the third if it's dropped. Evenif you now if all of a sudden
he dives and misses that ball getsto the gap, would it mattered,
he'd still scored if he stood onsecond and wait until the guy caught the
ball. Yeah. So I loveaggressiveness, but you gotta be you got
to be smarter with your aggressiveness.But there's got to be a controlled part
of that aggressiveness, especially in thatsituation when you're down or run and at

(18:37):
least need base and can't make thelast out on that especially that way,
you just can't do it. No, And if I'm not mistaken, earlier
in the game, yeah, Yan, your Diaz was burned, so he
he pinchhated. He was a pinchatorfor John Singleton, which put Carotini in
the game and put Mauricio dubontt firstbase. He can't he had to run

(19:00):
for himself as the automatic runner inthe tenth inning. Well, but also
not like you can pinch run,well, you're not even you can't be
obviously can't pinch run for him becausehe is the automatic runner. And let's
say the situation was different where hewasn't you can and he came up you
can't, and it was a pinchhit situation where he got on second with
a base hit. Yeah, andand and and they tied the score.

(19:22):
You couldn't take him out for apinch runner anyway, because you don't have
a catcher, right, you havea catcher, right exactly. That's that's
the problem. All the way aroundyou were host you were, But just
get back to second. That's thekey. That's the key. Oh man,
I haven't I haven't seen that ina while like that. Yeah,
now, I see when a gapguy makes it, you're not sure did

(19:42):
he drop it, did he catchit? It's under review. I haven't
seen one where and in right fieldmaybe it was skewed a little if you
couldn't quite see it. I meanit's right in front of your face.
The ball is hit where you areright, and so uh, it was
just a quite frankly in that situationconsidering where the ash, it was a
major blunder. Dude like you,like you literally just turn around and you

(20:03):
can see. Yeah, you're staringat falling in the center and aggressiveness.
Great, great, and that itis. But I can tell you this.
You have to you you cannot makelast out. At worst, you
got to be standing on second withtwo outs, and even at the next
worst, standing on third with oneout. And I believe that you can
get somebody to lift one and giveyou a chance to play at the plate,

(20:25):
right yeah, with one out,I'm talking about on a sack fly,
you just can't do it. Thoseare the little things. I was
listening to the you know well watchingthe broadcast, and they were talking about
the day before, you know,on the home run and getting things going.
Does this kickstartom and you know,winning another one like this, the
momentum starts to switch in your mindand the confidence grows. But just as

(20:48):
quickly as you got one the daybefore, with the way you win,
it turned right around on you,and like, oh yep. Those are
the little ones which become big ones. Because Todd Callas said last night,
he said, at the end ofthis season, we may look at the
way it was won and here's theirony who hits the home run a couple
to win a game. Caroteni,thank you so well. I like I

(21:12):
said, I love his aggressiveness votemoments. He said, they'll look back
and that could have been in thisgame, could have been a moment that
the opener against Cleveland, that youlook back and say, there's moments in
the season that helped turn things around, and this would have been one of
them. Now you're gonna also sayyou may look back and say, Man,
that moment we could have controlled.But again it goes back to we
shouldn't have runer on second base.But you've got to give yourself a chance.

(21:34):
In Victor, he giveth and hetaketh away, and he taketh away.
Ye can't do it. Seven one, three, two, one,
two, five, seven nine.He got the phone lines lighting up early
this morning. We'll get out ofthose phone lines next segment as we continue
to talk about the Astros loss andex stratings last night, will also take
a look at Justin Verlander's outing.He pitched extremely well, but it was
not enough for the Stros. That'snext. On sport Stalk seven ninety Jean

(21:59):
Salisbury, Brian, this is thisSean Salisbury show on Sports Talk seven ninety.
NBA playoffs continue to roll on theMavericks Stand. There series lead to

get me, you know. Sowhen it's on my mind, I share
it. But I'll thank you.Uh. It's just you know, I
don't think many people like gimmicks,and I think we like pure baseball.
Next thing, you know, we'llbe playing manholes at first base that if
you miss first base you'll fall inand break a leg. But we'll say
we'll care about injuries and people gettingto rest on time. Yeah, it's
nuts, but I appreciate your brotherand always thanks for the call and your

(25:41):
passion. I guess I better throwin go Irish, no, go Southern
col right, yeah, yeah,exactly Irish, great rivalry. I got
to take you to Notre Dame.I do. I was gonna say,
I'll take I owe you that trip. I do. Yeah, But but
but now I know it's different becausebut it's still the s He's still going
to play Notre Dame big ten ornot in college football. Yeah. I
put it in our our prep sheet. Deon Sanders and his son Schedure are

(26:07):
jackasses. Save that for you.You let it rip, and we'll hear
hear some rant for you when ithappens, and then we'll all respond to
I know exactly what you're talking about. People are leaving regularly at Colorado.
You know how I feel about Danas a friend and as a guy,
But I also know that there's somethings that I could still like him and
think that he's done some good thingsat Colorado, but he's also done things

(26:29):
driven people away. Yeah, soI'm exoused to be looking forward to talking
what's that an eight o'clock hour conversa. We'll talk about that. Whatever you
know, we'll talk about whatever wefeel exactly damn right, sw me a
steakout question, yeah, exactly,or a steak out segment, but just
don't leave first base with one outand catch and left field seven one two
two five seven, Mike, welcomein. Good morning, morning fella.

(26:52):
Sorry if I sound a little funny. I was at the game last night,
and as soon as they announced angelHernia does as a home played on
fire, we got lit. Whatwe dreak last time? Mike? What
were we knocking back? A fewtequila shots from the cantina and then a
bud? Okay, not bad.How do you feeling this morning? Up?

(27:15):
You're up ready to go to work? I'm a lake. We'll we'll
figure out getting ready for work oncewe get there. My man, we'll
talk about this morning. So inthe tenth inning, I understand this new
well, I mean, the runneron second base, I hate it.
But besides the point, why aren'twe utilizing the small ball to move the

(27:38):
guy over with no outs? Ican't. I can't stand this. No
longer a small ball league. Youhave a rookie leading off, the third
baseman was playing even with the backyou push a butt down the third base
line, move a guy over andpossibly you're safe at first, and then
you have no outs man on thecorners with the probably the best hitting part

(28:03):
of your lineup last night coming up. You know, I think I just
don't understand it. Mike. Youknow what's great about what you're right about,
I mean right about all of It'swhat's great about your comment is when
did we decide is this go backto the analytics and what we said about
you know, you're giving up andat bat? Are you giving up at
bat if you win? I've neverunderstood why small ball equals losing or what

(28:27):
is it? What is it?Oh, you're a coward if you buy
a guy over to third and yougot a guy come up that lifts the
sacrifice fly and you actually score therun. I understand in certain situations,
I'm not having your don bunt orany part, but I don't understand why
we took away from if it givesyou the best chance to win in that

(28:48):
situation. Why that's like a cowardsoft move to move a runner over with
a bunch yours. You're so right, I thought the object of the game
was get the runner across any wayyou can baseball wise, I don't understand
why it has to be with agapper or somebody full swinging. I'll tell
you what, there's a lot moredouble there's a lot more double plays on

(29:10):
swinging ground balls than there is attemptedbunts. And it causes you what an
inning killer it is? Right?Or a soft pop up from one of
the guys who's supposed to hit itand he hits a soft pop up to
the infield? What is wrong donethat? There's nobody doing it more in
baseball right now. I don't thinkthan him. But with the with the
bunt, I mean, I know, well we can't, but why that.

(29:34):
It's a great point by you,Mike. I'm not big on certain
situation bunning, but there is situationalplays where that's just smart baseball. And
we let analytics say, well thatwe're not going to do it that way,
that we're too tough to do itthat way. Okay, then lose
a game and move on to theextra innings and let somebody else beat you
because they did it the right way. I just and I'm not talking about

(29:55):
here, I'm talking about all throughbaseball. I'm with you. Small ball
sometimes wins games and it's smart baseballwhen it's necessary exactly and not just that,
but like I would have liked tosee Presley come out the next inning.
I mean, he had seventeen eighteenpitchings the inning before, and he
was strikeout after strikeout, and thenyou bring in a guy with eight ten

(30:18):
e er in a situation where you'realready starting with a guy at second base.
I just don't understand some of themanagerial decisions that we've made this year.
I mean, I get it's hisfirst year, but still, you've
been around baseball in this team longenough to have some kind of smarts when
it comes to who you should pitchin late innings. I agree, Mike,

(30:41):
Hey, appreciate the call. Andlet's hope you're not too hungover for
work today, buddy. I hopeyou're asking so hungover that you can't even
think straight. Have to throw upduring lunch, and it'll be worth it,
Mike, I promise you. Thanks, brother, appreciate it. Have
a good day. Guys. Onethree, two, one two five seven

(31:02):
ninety Steve, Brad Chris, Youguys, don't go anywhere. We will
get to you after the break.I see, I see the title for
Steve Am I reading that right,Trip Lee, Yeah you're yeah, my
man, say don't go anywhere,Steve, Brad or Chris seven one three
two one two five seven. Ithink that's a good point that Mike fantastic
about the small ball because let's lookback to the eighth inning, uh last

(31:25):
night where Bregman comes up in abig situation. All we need is to
sacfly. It doesn't get the jobdone, and it gets uh, you
know, we saw how the restof the game goes. Let's talk about
small ball in Major League Baseball.That's next on Sports Talk seven ninety.
The Sean Salisbury Show continues on yourgame console. Listen to Sports Talk seven
ninety on any device with our freeiHeartRadio amp order longest wait. We'll go

(31:52):
to Brad first. Good morning,Brad sell us. How are we doing
this morning? Long time? Notalk? Brother? What's going on?
Oh man? Living life? Brother? Hey, a couple of statements and
I'll hang up and listen. Ido think uh that spot us kind of
second guess himself as a new manager. Putting pregnant in the two hole lately
has not really been the best choice. Guy back in twelve and this is

(32:14):
how I know my fellow LSU Tigeris not right east wing, and I
pitched his way out the strike soon. He never saw them out the last
seven years. So it's so Idon't know what's maybe just overthinking it.
That's not not by pregnant to dothat at all. But you need to
go back down to the five tosix hole and get right again. If
you want someone in that two hole, you don't want to be your on

(32:35):
why I want to be opinion.Secondly, I agree with the previous caller.
Uh, we're going against the bestcloser in the game. Why are
we not bunting? That's that's thatnoise the crap out of me. Especially,
team only has ten wins. Wehave to get to win, so
we have to get the tie goingon. I don't blame Karatiny too much
on a base s running blunder,but it's just something we gotta be smarter

(32:57):
on. I'll hang up. Listen, guys, pretty y'all this morning of
a great you have a great restof the day. Guys. You two
Brad, thanks for the call.If Bregman's past wasn't what Bregman's past is,
what would you be thinking about him? Right? Now he's the worst
in the lineup right now. Thisis then, this has nothing to do
with our We both like Bregman asa player, and I think he's a

(33:19):
hell of a player, yes,but we're just talking about right now.
He is and Brad's one right.Stuff that I'm not used to seeing him
do, he does, and Ithink at times, because he's so selective
at the plate, I think attimes he does get a little too cute,
which is not like him, whichkind of at times to me,
takes away his aggressiveness in the wayhe usually hits. He he wasted no
time on the home run. Hehad jumped all over it, got a

(33:42):
pitch he could drive, and droveit. There was I mean it was
it was. It was who thathis usually is. But yeah, that
that one hit doesn't mean he's back. It just means he finally hit a
home run. Yeah, And it'sjust the way go about it. I'll
tell you this once again. Ifyou had to make a decision between the
right fielder and the third basement fora big money right now, who would
it be? Kyle Tucker? Isit close? No? God? Tucker

(34:04):
hit his eighth home run last night. Yeah, he smoked it off and
he's sitting damn near three hundred offthe facing of the upper tank. It
was, it was, It gota nice seventy eight Ops, he's got
twenty one RBIs. I know whatwe're going to say and what you're gonna
hear. The redman is going tocome out of this. It's early.
It's who he is. I getit the back of his baseball card.
Hunk. Yeah, but I don't. I'll tell you what. The soft

(34:25):
contact of pop ups and clutch situationsright now have happened way too often for
a guy it's gonna want three hundredmillion dollars or close or close twenty eight
thirty million dollars a year that hemeant twenty eight. He may look at
you and laugh going into the season, but spring training doesn't mean anything if
it doesn't care for the regular season. I know that's who he is.

(34:45):
But whatever it is, it's missing. And he may get on a roll
and run himself into an MVP categoryseason, but about thirty games in,
he sure doesn't look like the guywe're used to seeing. No, he's
pressing one thousand percent. So youdo you buy into my spring training thought
that there are guys who win themoney's on the line in a contract year,

(35:07):
have their best year on the planet. You know who did, and
he still didn't get three hundred million. Remember Korea is year. Yeah,
it was insane, And we talkedabout durability. He played like what one
hundred and forty five hundred and fiftygames that year or something? Did played
great. Then there's the guy notsaying him, but there's guys who win
it's on the line, you know, priority shift to children, wife.
I'm not saying he doesn't care aboutbaseball, but there's other things you got

(35:29):
to mix. You just got todeal with, not distractions, but you
get overloaded with stuff, and thenthere's that pressure of this is the last
monster contract he's gonna get. Yeah, because if at thirty six you're not
getting five years for three hundred orfor two hundred million dollars, you're just
not now so and I said thatyou can it's gonna go one of two

(35:50):
ways. For some players. Thatone of two ways would equal this,
that you can press so hard,and especially when you're a slow starter like
he notoriously, and you mix thatin with oh my gosh, baseball slow
starter, and that there's three hundredmillion reasons why you want to have a
good season, and right now youcan't tell me that that's not part of

(36:10):
what's going on. I think thegrind of knowing that every time you're at
the plate, you're trying to getto the point that every swing you make
there's greenbacks on the thought process.Whether he says that or not, there's
no way it can't be. It'shuman nature. But some deal with it
better. Right now, it's astruggle for him, which I know we
see all the time. But thisteam right unfortunately, this team right now

(36:32):
isn't good enough to have two orthree guys that are supposed to hit struggle,
struggle, Yeah, that's the problem. Talented enough, yes, good
enough right now? No, No, they're not Steve welcome in. Hey,
how you guys doing this morning?Or great man, what's on your
mind? Nobody cares about the NBA. I don't care about the NBA.

(36:53):
Thank you. You had a bunchof high school kids. It's playing on
a mini basketball set for adolescents,for toddlers. They play slow. Some
of the owners are despicable. Nobodycares about the NBA too much politic I

(37:13):
do care about the third graders hittingjump shots. Hit make it their first
Levett the little tykes basketball goal.Hell yeah, hell, thank you for
the call, Steve. Appreciate that. Hey, Steve, that's great stuff.
Say that again. A couple ofthings about the Astros. You've got
time, Yeah, we got Igot twenty five seconds for you. Okay.
So catcher Maldonado, we have problemswith our pitching. Can any of

(37:35):
it be attributed to the fact thatMaldonado was really that good of a catcher
and working with the pitchers. Ithink it's worth it. I think it's
his bat was but I think it'sthe leadership part of it. I think
in the direction I think it's Steve. You're not the only one that says
I think I put it that thereis something there when it comes to leadership
him, Brantley and Dusty, you'velost a good core leadership. So I

(37:59):
think that you can probably at leastif it bears banter, Steve, I
do I think it's worth asking.That's a good point. Last thing,
Bregman don't like him. He's ahot dog. Ever since he carried his
bat fast last past first base onthat home run and the whole bop slit
thing on the home runs. Idon't like the guy. Appreciate the call,
Steve, let's get to the seveno'clock hour. I think there's a

(38:22):
lot of frustration with with Alex Bregmanwell struggling, well does does if you
if you can't okay, if you'rea fan that can't stand or a media
person that can't stand the back ofthe baseball card, talk then and then
turn around and criticize people saying,well, have you seen what he'd done
in his past? Give him achance? Isn't that conflictory coming out of

(38:45):
bull sidey both sides of your mouth. Alex Bregman is not above criticism.
As much as we like him,He's just not right. He's not And
okay, if if it's sizzled androw to say, yep, look what
he did again. This is whathe does. But right now, the
contribution is the truth is if hewasn't Alex Bregman, he's a seven or

(39:05):
eight hole hitter right now, that'show he's hitting. But because he's Alex
Bregman, in the back of thebaseball card says he slow starts, you
got to keep him in the topof the lineup, and guess where he's
never going to the seventh He's not. It's never gonna happen, no,
whether we wanted to or not.Seven one three, two, one two
five, seven ninety is the numberto join. If you're on hold,
we'll get to you in the seveno'clock hour. Let's continue to talk about

(39:30):
the lineup for the Astros. Acouple of things working, couple things not
working. What changes need to bemade? They're ten and twenty. Let's

had pitched three days in a row. But hey, you Sean, you
got you. Two guys are thehead coach and I'm the pitching coach.
And I come to you last nightand I say to you, hey,

(45:14):
uh, Martinez in dub Manhattan pitchedsince Friday? Who are you going to
pitch a kiss any? Seth Martinez? Thank you? Yeah, yeah,
Dubin just got called back up.I'm not no, it's Seth Martinez.
He' hasn't got more experience. Andhe's also been a pretty good workhorse for
him this year. And he's beenone of your bright spots on the team

(45:37):
this year, and and he's restedfrom Friday. What the hell? What
the hell is this coach doing?Its well? As they tell us,
that's that's that's a Joe, that'sa Joe. Spot a question. Okay,
I don't know. It's it's likewhen when we're last year. Last
year, we were getting on thephone after they Dussie Baker were putting Montero

(45:59):
in a close game. I mean, my goodness, it's it's unexcusable.
Guys, Hey, do you doyou have anybody around you? Because we
love your passion, do you haveanybody around you in case you need mouth
to mouth? Brother? I almost, you know, I almost laugh at

(46:20):
it. If you don't, you'llgo nuts. I got you, brother,
I with you. If you're Ifyou're the team. The team knows
this too. The team goes,well, let's say Martinez been doing it
all year to to something the er A, and here's the guy who
just brought from Triple A. It'sa tide game. They got a guy

(46:40):
on second base with no helps.Let's put Dubin in the freaking idiot.
I get what when he did that, I turned the TV off. I
turned it off when he came outto goods ending, I ain't got to
see this. Might might have beenbetter off throwing in Dubon instead. Of
Dubin. You know what I'm sayingthat ain't a lot. I mean this

(47:06):
Duban guy. This You know,if you look his hats up, you
go, oh my gosh, there'sthe reason that twenty eight or twenty nine
he's just now dipping into the majorleagues. I mean, my goodness.
And you know what, ain't hearda bound ball of salary? Him and
Martinez both, Boy, they wentcheap in that middle reliefs, didn't they
gooda take care guys. You appreciateAndy. I love Andy dips in gets

(47:31):
everybody fired up, it dips onout. I love it. Hey,
Andy's so fired up today. Youmay hear from him about nine ten today
back on his show. Love It. Yeah, the guy who's quite frankly
been your guy when it comes tohe has been a workhorse. Right And
what was it Friday? Last timewe saw him? Martinez pitched Uh,

(47:53):
Saturdaturday? Okay, so Saturday manypitched he till Saturday? Do we know?
Overwork? Dude? They had aday off on Monday as well.
You can't eleven pitches where you askedhad to? He threw a third of
in inning, do you understand?Yeah, go outside and warm up,
go outside and warm up and facetwo hitters. So outside and warm up

(48:14):
and throw eleven fastballs. I'm evensaying fastballs and go put that torque.
I'll give you five days off.Listen. I'll know that that's off the
show. That's giving that you givefive days off the show, that's giving
Joe a spot an excuse. I'mgonna that's just mismanagement. I'm gonna give
you five. I want you towalk up and down the hall like twenty
times. Just do a couple ofjog sprints, and then on like what's

(48:37):
today, Thursday, Thursday, Monday. I'll come and say take a day
off on Tuesday, take it off. Maybe next Wednesday. I'm gonna give
I'm gonna give you four more sprints. Okay, dude, do you know
what the tax is on an arm? When you throw eleven pitches? It's
a lot. Dude. He hadn'tpitched since Saturday and he threw eleven pitches.

(49:00):
Can you understand the taxation without representation? Yeah, the annexation to Puerto
Rico, the playing little that's onSaturday and it's Thursdays. I know we
need two more days, dude.I probably will wait till Friday or Saturday.
Yeah, Chris, welcome in.Hey guys, good morning, gentlemen.

(49:21):
Great, great points by the previouscaller. Yeah, right about now
we're missing Therrison Mayton big time.Hey, I've got three quick points real
quick. First of all, theguy who called in about Maldonado. If
you look at the splits in ourstarting rotation between Fromberg, Christian and JV,
you know, they're like seven tooh or until last night eight and

(49:43):
O, and then you got theother guys JP Hunter and the and the
rookies called up from sugar Land andthey're over. So it's not Maldonado.
It's just guys not pitching. Well, so let's let's just get rid of
that narrative right there. Second,Hey, what I think real quick,
Chris, I think that he wantedMaldonada's bat. I think that we wanted

(50:06):
Maldonado in the two hole. Ithink that's what we're thinking about, right,
just kidding your battle. Sometimes sometimesit is comedy hour on your show,
Sean, and that's one of themoments, right, Yeah, you
know Chris here from Jersey Village,right, that's what it says, Jersey
Village. Yeah. Sometimes we allman, let's just get him all at
a back, stick him in thetwo hole. We'll go one forty five
from there. There you go.What else out your mind? Brother?

(50:29):
Hey, last night, the wayI saw the Carrie teeny play, he
definitely knew there was two outs.The ball was hit, he took two
steps towards third, watched it goover his head, and he just made
a judgment call that the left fielderwas not going to make a spectacular play.
That's basically what happened. You know, you wanted to be the hero

(50:50):
and two days in a row.Hey, you know it was a great,
great, great catch by the leftFielder're probably in the ESPN Top ten
last night, so you know carTini, Yes, you probably. You
know at that part of the game, you want to be sure it drops
and don't gamble. Chris, wouldyou rather err on the side of aggressiveness
or just of taking no chances?I'd rather err on the side of aggressiveness.

(51:15):
But you just got to be alittle bit wiser in the situation of
the game, right. But II will always give less ribbing to somebody
who aired on the side of beingaggressive, even though in that situation he
just got to be a little youjust got you just got to make the
right decisions. Sometimes you don't.At least he wasn't, you know,
like well he didn't play scared.Does that make sense that eventually will pay

it? Houston and I heard radiostation Sports Talk seven ninety your home for

head coach and I'm the pitching coach. And I come to you last night
and I say to you, hey, uh Martinez in due Manhattan pitch since
Friday? Who are you going topitch the k? Seth Martinez? Thank
you? Yeah, yeah, Dubanjust got called back up. I'm not
no, it's Seth Martinez. He'sgot more experience and he's also been a

(53:13):
pretty good workhorse for him this year. And he's been one of your bright
spots on the team this year.And he's and he's rested from Friday.
What the hell? What the hellis this coaching doing? It's well as
they tell us, that's that's that'sa joe. That's a Joe. Spot
a question, Okay, I don'tknow. It's it's like when when we

(53:35):
were last year. Last year,we were getting on the phone after they
Dussy Baker were putting Montero in aclose game. I mean, my goodness,
it's it's it's unexcusable. Guys,Hey, do you do you do
you have anybody around you? Becausewe love your passion, do you have
anybody around you in case you needmouth to mouth? Brother? Almost know

(54:00):
Tim, I almost laugh at it. Now, understand after this, if
you don't, you'll go nuts.I got you, brother, I'm with
you. If you're If you're theteam, the team knows this too.
The team goes, well, let'ssay Martinez been doing it all year to
something E r A, and here'sthe guy we just brought UPM triple A.

(54:21):
It's a tied game. They gota guy on second base with no
houps. Let's put Dubin in thefreaking idiot. I get what when he
did that? I turned TV off. I turned it off. When he
came out to goods ending, Iain't got to see this. Might have
might have been better off throwing inDubon instead of Dubin. You know what
I'm saying that ain't no lie.I mean this Dubin guy, there's you

(54:49):
know, if you look his statsup, you go, oh my gosh,
there's the reason that twenty eight ortwenty nine, he's just now dipping
into the major leagues. I mean, my goodness. And you know what,
ain't heard a bound dollar salary?Him and Martinez both, boy,
they went cheap in that metal reliefs, didn't they? GOODA take care guys,

(55:09):
you appreciated Andy. I love Andydips in gets everybody fired up and
dips on out. I love it. Hey, and he's so fired up
today. You may hear from himabout nine to ten today back on his
show Love It. Yeah. Uh, the guy who's quite frankly been your
guy when it comes to he hasbeen a workhorse. Right And what was

(55:30):
it Friday last time we saw him? That Martinez pitched? Uh, Saturdaturday?
Okay, so Saturday low? Manypitches throw Saturday? Do we know
eleven? Overworked? Dude? Theyhad a day off on Monday as well.
You can't eleven pitches where he hashad to. He threw a third
of it inning, do you understand? Yeah? Yeah, go outside and

(55:52):
warm up, Go outside and warmup and faced two hitters. So outside
and warm up and throw eleven fastballs. I'm even saying fastballs and go put
the tor. I'll give you fivedays off. Don't listen, I'll know
you that's off the show. That'sgiving that you give five days off the
show. That's giving Joe a spotan excuse. I'm gonna that's just mismanagement.
I'm gonna give you five I wantyou to walk up and down the

(56:14):
hall like twenty times. Just doa couple of jog sprints and then on
like what's today, Thursday, Thursday, Monday. I'll come and say take
a day off on Tuesday, takeit off. Maybe next Wednesday. I'm
gonna give I'm gonna give you fourmore sprints. Okay, dude, do
you know what the tax is onan arm when you throw eleven pitches?
It's a lot. Dude. Hehadn't pitched since Saturday and he threw eleven

(56:37):
pitches. Do you understand the taxationwithout representation? Yeah? The annexation to
Puerto Rico. Eleven pitches. That'son Saturday and it's Thursday. I know
we need two more day dude.I probably will wait till Friday or Saturday.
Yeah, Chris, welcome in.Hey guys, Good morning, gentlemen.

(57:01):
Great great points by the previous caller. Yeah, right about now.
We're missing Nerrison Mayton big time.Hey, I've got three quick points,
real quick. First of all,the guy who called in about Maldonado.
If you look at the splits inour starting rotation between Fromberg, Christian and
JV, you know they're like sevento oh or until last night, eight

(57:23):
and O, and then you gotthe other guys, JP Hunter and the
and the rookies called up from sugarLand and they're over. So it's not
Maldonado. It's just guys not pitching. Well, so let let's let's just
get rid of that narrative right there. Hey, what I think real quick,
Chris? I think that he wantedMaldonada's back. I think that we

(57:46):
wanted Maldonado in the two hole.I think that's what we're thinking about,
right, Just kidding your bat.Sometimes sometimes it is comedy hour on your
show, Sean, and that's oneof the moments. Right, Yeah,
you know Chris here from Jersey Village, Right, that's what it says,
Josie Village. Yeah, sometimes weall let's just get him all nut of
back, stick them in the twohole. We'll go one forty five from

(58:07):
there. There you go, whatelse out your mind? Brother? Hey?
Last night, the way I sawthe Carrie teeny play, he definitely
knew there was two outs. Theball was hit, he took two steps
towards third, watched it go overhis head, and he just made a
judgment call that the left fielder wasnot going to make a spectacular play.
That's basically what happened. You know, you wanted to be the hero,

(58:30):
and two days in a row.He you know, it was a great,
great, great catch by the leftfielder, probably in the ESPN Top
ten last night. So you know, Carrie teeny, yes, you probably.
You know, at that part ofthe game, you want to be
sure it drops and don't gamble.Chris, would you rather err on the
side of aggressiveness or did just oftaking no chances? I'd rather err on

(58:54):
the side of aggressiveness, But youjust got to be a little bit wiser
in the situation of the game,right, But I I will always give
less ribbing to somebody who aired onthe side of being aggressive, even though
in that situation he just got tobe a little you just got you just
got to make the right decision.Sometimes you don't. At least he wasn't,
you know, like, well hedidn't play scared. Does that make

(59:15):
sense that eventually we'll pay off?We're just we just got to get better
at making those decisions, no doubt. Yeah. I mean our offense was
only able to score two runs lastnight, so I think in that situation
you do want to be aggressive andmake things happen, uh, you know,
to take a chance. Hey,guys, my last point right now,
Alex is not the only one struggling. I went back and looked at

(59:36):
the last eight games where your DonAlvarez. You guys will not guess how
many hits he's had in his lasteight games. One it was a home
run in Mexico City. Close,Brian, it's four hits in his last
eight games. And also another anotherstruggling, another stat, Chris, I
think, if I'm not mistaken,Jose al Tuova with runners in the scoring

(01:00:00):
position is like one for his lasttwelve. No, he was no last
he was one for fifteen. Okay, I think you got one for sixteen,
and he drove in a run lastnight. By the second one he
finally there for seventeen. Finally gota hit last night with a runner and
scoring position. Appreciated, Chris,it's been a struggle. Let's get to
one more before we get to thestakeout, Let's talk to Alex. Alex,
what's happening? Hey, good morningto all. Hey guys, So

(01:00:24):
the new rule of uh, youknow, putting a guy on second on
the ten items like a permanent rule, like they're not gonna change here or
well, no, it's it's butit's here to stay going away. Well,
let me tell you something. Ithink the solution if they're gonna do
something like that. You know howyou think about baseball three seats, nine
innues. I think this should uh, this should put a guy on second

(01:00:47):
after the twelve vining, you knowwhat I mean. You know, giving
me a chance in three innings todecide the game. You know, that's
plenty of time. You know.I remember, one day, Sean,
they need to do something about it. One day. I'll never forget it.
In nineteen eighty nine, I wasliving in my car and I listened
to this game between the Dodgers andthe assros Man. That game lasted twenty
two innings, seven and a halfhours. I was listening during it in

(01:01:10):
the Spanish and I remember the guy, the broadcaster Roland with era. He
said, about two o'clock, ifanybody still listening to me, call me
some tickets. Man. I wasbizarre. Man, I think they need
to do something after Alex. That'sa great story. And the fact that
you're you're still into it, Iknow, we get to that point it's

(01:01:31):
like that's like you're gonna keep youawake anyways, like drinking caffeine at midnight.
You're gonna stay awake in such agreat game. And in your case,
Alex, that's a great point forlike in the tenth and eleventh inning,
just leave it normal. And thenif it gets to the twelfth inning,
say okay, now put a runneron first, even if it's not
on second. And then if yousay, but at least give somebody a
chance to earn it the first twoinnings of extra something that makes them earn

(01:01:54):
it. Not have a freebie withyou if you're gonna go gimmick, go
get making the twelfth in ain't notthe tenth perfect joint, Alex, Alex,
thank you Alex? Real quick?Did you did you say you were
living in your car? I was, I was down on my my on
my love guys, and I remembervery well I was parking a barking out

(01:02:15):
Onsidas Saveway, you know Saveway,it's not even yeah the save yeah,
the same way way grocery stores rightour grocery store, yeah yeah yeah.
Then then the he became apple Tree, and then I would listen to the
abclute game every nine you know,the past time, and that was that
was that was a wonderful game.Don't get me wrong. I listened to

(01:02:36):
the whole game, and I wonsome free tickets, man, because I
called the guy over. I'll dothirty in the morning during the twenty two
inning. And uh, it wasn'tamazing night. You know, the best
part of this the best part ofthis day in this show already, Alex,
is the fact that you overcame thatand lived in your car listening to
baseball, got tickets, And you'remore excited about talking to that about that

(01:02:57):
than you are about complaining that youwere going through a downtime and and whatever
your rock bottom was, and andhere you are calling us, and it
sounds to me like life's turned aroundfor you. I was next quest,
how are you now, Alex?Everything turned around for you? Oh,
I'm doing great. God is goodand he has based me in uh in
I've been in that suspense in nineteeneighty and you know in uh, guys

(01:03:21):
appreciate it. Give me a favor, Alex, Alex, you give me
a favorite. Leave your leave yourphone, leave your phone number with triple
E, because uh, I'm gonnabuy YouTube tickets to go to a game
for your FAMI or how how manyhow many members? How many people members
of your family do you have?Well? Do fine? Okay, then
you mean you leave that there?Number all contact you. I'm gonna I'm

(01:03:44):
gonna. I'm gonna treat you toa baseball game, brother, because I
know what living in a car isall about. Yeah, and your your
story moves me, brother. Iappreciate you. Yeah. Well, Alex,
I'm gonna, I'm gonna put youon hold and then TRIPLEY will take
it from there. We appreciate thecall man. We're so happy you turned
that thing around. Appreciate it,buddy. That's the best story of the

(01:04:04):
day. I'll probably be the beststory that'll do that. That that gives
me. The loss doesn't hit hishard. So I didn't want to put
his business out there. But assoon as I heard that, I know
you can relate to that because thefirst thing I went through. Yeah,
that's why I brought it back up. And the fact that he was he
was energetic about talking about the baseballgame. Even he just threw that in
like it's no big deal. What'seven crazier is before you said it,

(01:04:28):
I was already thinking I was like, man, we should treat this dude
to a game. Well, thereyou go, and that'll happen. And
I didn't hear one ounce of complaints, not at all, not in zero.
That is why you do it.Yeah, good for him, what
a dude. And and well we'llfollow up on that and we'll treat him
to a good night and I'll makesure that happens. So I appreciate him
and appreciate the story. Here weare listening next ratings and the thing we

(01:04:49):
drag out of it is like Iwas sleep living in my car in the
sun, and now listen to him. Life's good. Other type of guys
we need to listen to, andwe got it once again. It just
proves why our listeners and callers arethe very best appreciated. Thank you,
brother. And it also proves whenyou hit your rock bottom, you keep
grinding because you will find your wayout of it. You can either make
it quicksand or trampoline. Damn right, you got a choice. Got to

(01:05:11):
bounce back, and we know thechoice he made. Yeah, and then
another choice. Not easy, brother, to make that choice in those situations,
it's tough. Another choice you needto make, get yourself a home

number to join David, You're upfirst. Good morning, Hey, Good

(01:07:50):
morning guys, Horry. I'll doit. We are fantastic man. What
is on your mind this morning?Awesome? Well, I just got the
truck to drive to work, andI caught the tail end of the guy
who down on Dugan last night,and I totally get it. Guy had
some control issues, but you knowhe's been he's been hit or missed most
of the series or most of theseason. I think, and has some

(01:08:11):
value in the pen. But youknow the bottom line is when you score
two, you're not gonna win manygames. I think Gallery talked about that
many times. I saw a staton Twitter or x whatever you call it
nowadays last night that our record isis like two or one in nineteen when
we scored two or three or lessruns, and so last night's game was
totally on the offense. You know, you call it what's you know,

(01:08:38):
Dubon who needs to play every dayin my opinion, he gets a lead
off double and we don't get himhome batting, you know, one,
two, three after him, youknow, but Jordan hits the line drives
to the left fielders, you know, ninth inning, almost a carbon copy.
I think it is Karen Teeny whohits a line drive again to left
field or to right field, boththose the right field and uh, you

(01:09:01):
know it just didn't happen. Andeven the last year at the end,
you know, the one More Carreyteam, he made the base running error.
You know, it's got a decentchance to drop. And I don't
know what the catch for probability was, but you know, you have those
three things happen in a row,and I don't know what else you do.
Your pitchers did. Your pitchers didall they could last night against a
good offensive team, and I'll I'llstop playing there. But you are one

(01:09:23):
hundred percent correct, my man.You've got to give Verlander more help than
that, and they're not giving himenough. You York fact, the bats,
even though they hit some balls thatwere caught, you're not gonna win.
And you mentioned the stat and thisyear, especially with their struggles at
times with runners in scoring position tostart the season, you're not gonna win.
Win many when you're putting one ortwo runs up. You're just not.

(01:09:45):
It's too hard to do with allthe offensive you know, everything's built
to score runs in baseball. Noweverything it seems you're one hundred percent correct.
And Verlander pitched, and he pitchedwell enough not only to win,
but to be I mean, hehad this dude's back what three or fourth
three starts now or something. We'retalking forty one years old off an injury,
and the dude is still your bestpitcher, Ronel Blanco or not.

(01:10:08):
If you had to win a seventhgame of the World Series, Blanco ain't
pitching Verlander is if you had thechoice. So you're you're you're spot on.
They got to score more runs inthose type of situations because they're not
winning many close ones. Good callby you, Thank you appreciate it,
David, Thank you for the call. Stock to Chris, Chris, welcome
in. Hey, I just wantto get y'all. Y'alls thought on this,

(01:10:30):
which y'all would have thought, andI've been thinking this the past couple
of years. What if in extrainnings you put a guy on second,
which I don't agree with that atall. I'm with Sean. I think
you need to earn it, butyou put him on second with two outs.
Say that again, Chris put himon second with two outs, not
zero outs. Yes, you puthim on second with two outs and a

(01:10:53):
single will score. You earned it. And if you get the guy out,
they didn't earn it. If you'regonna go gimmick, at least give
the picture a bet a better chance, right, is what you're saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Imean, if you're gonna give it,
give give it to both of them. That's a that's a friggin great point.
I hate it anyway, But ifyou're if we're gonna stick to the
baseball rod Manfred or Rob Manfred,gimmick, at least gimmick both sides.

(01:11:15):
Yeah, exactly, excellent point.Excellent. I don't agree with it either
at all. Period. I saidit should just be regular innings. But
I mean, if you're gonna giveit to one, I mean there's no
reason to screw the picture over either. You know what I mean. There's
exactly And you know what, ifyou get a line drive base hit to
right field with two outs in extrainnings, you'll clutch and I'll give you
that gimmick hit. Good call.Thanks man, I appreciate it, brother,

(01:11:39):
Thanks appreciate Chris, I got it. Isn't amazing. I'm with our
callers. To the runner on set, well, that's the first one,
or like, uh, Alex,Alex put him on a twelfth inning.
Yes, I'm with that. Makehim earn the first two. It's just
you get them on and you earnit the rest of way. Then it's
starting to roll along and you andthe benches are empty, and you maybe

(01:11:59):
have to have the left fielder pitch, so you say, okay, let's
put him on second now, ifyou're gonna gimmick, I get that.
Yes, at least play regular baseball. We didn't need to fix that.
But let's say, if you aregonna gimmick, why can't you gimmick both
ways? Because it is a gimmickthat favors the offense, And you know
what it's telling me, we don'treally care about the extrage. We want

(01:12:20):
the game over. That's what basethat's what baseball is. To all the
hard fought nine innings you put in, We're gonna screw you over with a
tenth inning. And I don't wantto hear well, don't give up a
hit. Well, even if yougive up a hit, if the guy,
the guy earns first base, Nowthere's no gimmick. And you give
up three hits and you lose.Guess what that's on you? Yeah,

(01:12:42):
I don't know why we think gimmickschange baseball and make it better. Faster
and quicker doesn't always mean better inbaseball or sex. Okay, there you
go. You feel me, dog, I mean of course you feel me.
I mean you know you coach baseball, you know it, and you
know all about fatter and quicker.It's not it's me. I gotta get

(01:13:05):
that shirt, predatude. We're gettingthat with with with your face on the
front, bin on the back.You it's me. Oh my gosh,
classic. Oh let's look at thateighth inning for the Astros. I could
have been a big one, Bryan. Yeah, it's it's not you,
Okay, it's me. Seveneven threegimmicks seven one three two two five,

(01:13:30):
seven ninety the number to join toget on this discussion about the Houston Astros.
They are ten and twenty on theseason. They lost in extra innings
last night. Let's talk about itnext Sports Talk seven ninety Howard back to
the Sean Salisbury Show seven one threetwo one two five seven. Hinty been
taking calls all morning long, littlefrustration with the Astros losing again. They're

(01:13:50):
ten and twenty. Let's talk toRalph. Ralph, welcome in, Good
morning, Good morning. I uh, I'm wondering why they still keep my
is up in the big leagues.Why hasn't even sent down already? That
would be a joe a spot ofquestion, no Dana, But you know
what, I don't know, Ralph. Maybe because of the bodies and bench

(01:14:12):
and lack of deep depth. Iguess maybe with the way they're playing,
I don't they have a lot Theycame into you heard them when they came
into spring, and in this offseason. We have a lot of confidence in
Jake Myers. They seeing something differentthan maybe you and I are seeing because
I wouldn't start him. But asfar as going to the minor leagues,
I don't know if or when that'sgonna happen this year. But maybe I
don't know. They don't look aheadthe front office. They should have told

(01:14:38):
Dubon to learn how to play firstbase in this in the spring training,
because you want hitters out there.I learned from the Yankees, Giants,
and Dodgers. I grew up inthe forties and fifties in New York.
I'm no longer a New York fanup but beloved Yankees. Put Yogi Bear
on first. He was a catcher, and when Nelson Howard came up,

(01:15:00):
he was a hitter as well asthe catcher. And he still he could
play first base too. They needhitters out there, and I thank you
for taking Michael, thank you.I like that. A's old school Yankee
guy. I like it, Raulsaying, and you know what the truth
is, no matter how you sliceit. When you're building a team,
what are you building it with,Brian? You want good pitching and hitters,

(01:15:23):
hitters, hitters, hitters, hitters, right yeah, we want to
score, scor scores, score,and right now they're not doing a lot.
When they do score, they theylay it on them. It's the
close games. They got one withCaroten's big blast that you know earlier,
but the ability to win close games, there's there's a there's a building of
confidence and character that comes with that. They're gonna have to score more as

(01:15:45):
the season reals long, because armsaren't gonna get fresher, right am,
I right, arms ain't getting fresherin that. In that eighth inning last
night, they went one for eightwith runners in scoring position. Jord On,
Bregman, and Altove all had opportunitieswith runners in scoring position, and
they only scored two runs. Dubonlet off with the double the left.
Al Tuove grounds out to third,but Dubon was able to get two third,

(01:16:09):
Okay, so you've got him over. One out. Bregman pops out
to second, then Alvarez lined outto write, I'm gonna get it done.
Man, gotta get your job done. So there were some hard balls
hit last night. The eight ishard hit balls in that game last night

(01:16:31):
resulted in a home run, asingle, and seven outs recorded. One
of them was grinding into double play. The expected batting average on him was
six fifty four in the actual battingaverage was too fifty. All eight were
hit by the Astros at one hundredand three point five miles an hour or
harder. I care about how hardballs are hit, but still it's still

(01:16:53):
an out. So yeah, wellI do know, but no, I
just what you're saying. Baseball sucksbecause of stuff like this, but you
still got to find a way toget men in. Right. What you're
hoping right across home plate which you'rehoping to with that stat you're reading,
and I know where you're going withit, and I'm with you. One

(01:17:13):
is well, we're hitting it hard, and eventually it'll shift in that hard
it'll go just like a bloop singlewill fall and find its way in sometimes
right. But the other side ofit is is, well, it's a
great stating. Hey, we're hittingit hard, we're barreling it up.
Good things are going to happen.But in that game it was hit to
somebody, and every team in baseballis going to go through. We're hitting

(01:17:35):
it hard, but it's right atsomebody. Right, I'll take one hundred,
I'll take ninety eight miles an houroff the bat at a base hit,
and I will what five you mean? Give me seventy eight miles an
hour a little Bluebert track right right, you hope eventually pays off for all
of it comes together, no doubt. I'm with you. I want to
give credit. That was our own. Adam Wexler of the A Team.

(01:17:57):

to tell you the story about MarkVan Egan. Maybe I have about what
what a player on that team saidyears ago on the Raiders. It was
a teammate of Mark Van Egans.He was pissed that he only got his
love for Van Egan, that's hislast name, got his first and last
name on his jersey. He said, why does Van Egan get his first
last name on his jersey? It'sMark Van Egan and he only got it.

(01:19:50):
He only got his name one day, but he it was serious.
Really yeah. Buddy Might, whoplayed for the team, said yeah,
he came in. He said,why the world is to the equipment?
Go? Why does Vanny can gethis first last name on? Hear?
Buck Man Egan, who played runningback, was the hell of a player.
I digress. But anyway, goingback to what you're saying, and
I'm Richard Chong, so I goby my middle name because my dad was

(01:20:13):
Richard. I don't what's another jawhere Joseph Jonathan Jerry No, Adam Jerry
Way his parents would't give him thatgimmick middle name. I don't know.
And that's no disrespect to the Jerrycommunity. Well, but if you have
to say no disrespect, you'll probablydisrespect it respect. Adam Jeremiah Wexler.

(01:20:34):
No, no, it's got tobe a good formal name, like Adam.
Did you are you cheating? No? No, I really don't know.
Promise, Yeah, I promise,promise on everything? He said,
Do you promise? Do you promiseon everything? Yeah? Adam? I

(01:20:56):
like Adam Jackson Wexler. Don't itsounds like action Jack Jackson movie She does
really wasn't a good movie. Ronnieis a name. Yeah, what do
you think Ronie' middle name? Real? Before you go? I don't care
what what? What? What goes? Ronnie? What? I don't know.
I don't know his last name,Ronnie, Ronnie. We've got to

(01:21:17):
get his middle Let's get his middleinitial. Then we'll try to guess when
Ronnie comes on. Ronnie, welcomein, Ronnie. What's your middle what's
your middle initial? Your name?Brother? Then just the initial d Ronnie
Ronnie's nuts. Get it. Don'tdo that, don't set us up.
How about Ronald Ronald David Ronald David? Fingo, you hit it, David,

(01:21:43):
shut the show down. It's myname is actually Ronald, Uh,
Ronald Ronald David. Check that out, man. The nurses. I was
a premie baby, and so Iwas in the hospital for quite a while.
This is, you know, seventytwo years ago, almost now.
Uh. And my mom always swearsthat the nurses in the hospital named me.
That they didn't she and my daddidn't. So that's strange. Classic

(01:22:06):
and Ronald David. And but youcan't come on here and just say d
because you know what's coming after rightjust you you know where we were going.
I mean and that's why you're apremature. Maybe you've turned out to
look at seventy plus years Brian.Brian knows about premature, which is awesome.
So you what's on your mind?Brother? How you doing today?
Well? I have a name forAdam, a middle name for Adam,

(01:22:29):
although it's not only been popular thelast what. I don't know how wex
is? But how about Jamal AdamJamal? I like that, it's become
a very popular name. I likeit. Wex is there could probably there
may be wex may have a biblicalmiddle name. You know how you go
biblical with the jays? Find meJoseph is a good biblical middle name,

(01:22:49):
A good called by you? Allright, Ronnie, what do you think?
How are you feeling about the astrostoday? Uh? What's the word?
On Saturday Night Live? They useda lot for Klempt. I don't
know what? How about yeah?I you know today everybody says, well,

(01:23:15):
if they do this or if theydo that to me now the way
it's going if it's the biggest wordingin the English language with regard to the
astros. If if, But willit ever happen? And and the guy
called asked about Myers. I don'tknow why they have never even if they're
going to bring up this guy what'shis name, Amayah that they get just

(01:23:38):
gotten right. And he hadn't beenbrought up that long. I mean,
he hadn't been in the organization thatlong. I don't think why in the
heck don't they bring up Yeah,yeah, he had a five hundred foot
bomb the other night. You're sittingover three hundred. Now. He's a
strikeout machine. He's somewhat inconsistency.He may, but I don't think he

(01:24:00):
makes any bigger base running gaffs thanh Jose Altuve. So and they were
trying to work leon as a secondbaseman shortstop, but that apparently hasn't worked
out because the only time he playsnow is in the outfield. But I
don't know why, with the waythe rest of them are hitting, I

(01:24:21):
don't know why you don't bring Leonaup and give him, you know,
at least a cup of coffee.That's a good point. I think a
lot of people are pining and cravingthat right. A great call too,
brother, We appreciate it, thanksfor everything. I like it. Adam
Jamal Wexlnt. I like it.Uh so wex is not Uh. He
usually takes his kids to school aroundeight o'clock, so he hasn't listened.

(01:24:43):
He's probably blocked you now, it'snot hey, it's not you, it's
me. It is I don't knowwhy they haven't. I really that's pedro
Leon. We you know how longwe've been talking about pedro Leon getting a
great run here? Yeah, it'sbeen a while since you, since you've
been on the show. We've beentalking about before. He had a five
hundred fot bomb the other night.It was estimated to go five hundred and

(01:25:05):
five feet. You know what wecall that prodigious power. Yeah, yeah,
so I don't know. That's areally good point. I just don't
Uh, I don't know. Yep. There's been a lot of call ups
though this season. There's no questionabout it. Great great callers today as
well as always. I love Ianticipate everyone. It gives me the energy
I need without any coffee at all. The same I'm with seven one,

(01:25:26):
three, two two five seven ninetythat never joined. We got more on
the phone lines. Want to getin about the Astros losing in x RA
innings last night. Let's keep talkingabout it. Next in Sports Talk seven
eighty. This is the Sean SalisburyShow. Are you not the time?
Let's beginning now? Alcohol? Ohyeah, Cat on Sports Talk seven ninety.

(01:25:53):
Be careful out there if you're drivinglistening to us on seven ninety AM
or on the Free iHeartRadio app.Yes, I'm not golfing today, am
I? No, dude, ifthis stuff comes through, you're not seven
one three two five seveninty. Theyeven cancel the British Open with this weather.
Yeah, in truth, it's prettynasty safe. I'd be safe out
there, man. Yeah, there'sno question about. My dogs are probably

(01:26:14):
terrified right now. I hate thatfor you to, man, I really
do. My dog Dodger is probablyhiding his ass in my closet. You
know. You know something about hidingin a closet. You know what I
mean. I came out a longtime ago. You did. Yeah,
I did, Okay, I did. It got a little claustrophobic in there.
You're a big Man's possible. Itwas made for sebenty five to ten.

(01:26:36):
That's six fine, not six five. Yeah, he's one three two
two five seven ninety Todd, goodmorning, good morning. Uh. This
wanted to add something about Leon andMyers. The reason why they're not bringing
Leon up is before this year hehadn't hit over two forty four in a
minor league season, and that wasa season where he struck out one hundred
and sixty times in like one hundredand twenty something games. He's got all

(01:27:00):
kinds of athleticism, but he's justhe's not ready. And uh, as
far as Myers go, I'm nota huge fan of Myers either, but
I'm not sure why people keep askingwhy he's on the team up until this
year. His defense is excellent,and uh, we we don't. I
don't know people have noticed this.We don't have a lot of great defense

(01:27:20):
this year. And and honestly,that's that's what killed us last night with
Cleveland is their defense overall is andthey're good and they I mean they they
robbed us multiple times. I mean, defense has a lot of value that
that I think our fans we focusso much on average and you know,
dubond oh, he's got to soand so average running, scoring position and

(01:27:42):
and and that's that's all great,but defense is a major part and and
our defense the last couple of yearshas been lacking from what it used to
be, and I think we've seenthe the decline in our overall performance partly
because of that. And that's realquick todd for me, I don't want
you know, he's a pro andand that defensive defensive replacement. But I

(01:28:06):
want to flip the script. Iwould rather have du Bond's and Dubond's playing
is really improved in a lot ofdifferent places defensively. I don't want,
you know, Jake Myers out.I just think he should be the platoon
guy, come in late defensive replacement. I'd rather have Dubond starting on a
daily basis. That's for me.Well, and I'm not Duvon is fine.

(01:28:29):
I mean, obviously his defense isreally good too, all over the
place, and I think that's wherehis value really is. That's why he's
doing it. You're right, right, yeah, And because if you really
look at his offensive numbers too,I know he's having a really nice start
of the season like he did lastyear before he cooled off. He's never
going to be people say that onehim at first base. His overall production
is offensively is great for a middleend theater infielder or a center fielder.

(01:28:56):
He's not someone that should be takingup a primary offensive position like base based.
He's gonna be He's never gonna beyour daily first basement, that's for
sure, no no doubt. Andand our offensive woes are because of the
lack of production at our premium offensepositions that I mean, that's what needs
fixed. I don't think I don'tthink that'll be dubond and sadly, I

(01:29:17):
really don't think it'll be a litperfito, even though I'm hoping for the best.
But anyways, we'll hang up andlisten. Appreciate it, but I
appreciate it to thank you. Goodpoints. Let's get to Let's get to
Michael. Michael, what's happening.Good morning, guys. I appreciate the
show today was just I was Iwas thanking Sean's I have two points.

(01:29:39):
I was thanking Sean for talking aboutload management on your arm, because you
know, I was out there playingwiffleball with my son for like three day
of my little son, you know, and I threw about maybe twenty pitches
Monday, Tuesday, maybe ten,and then Wednesday my wife just came out
and said, we gotta, wegot to pull the plug here. Anyway,
you're gonna have to wipe your butttomorrow. So we're gonna have to

(01:30:00):
shut it down anyway. And youknow what, and you know what Stee
I mean, Michael, you can'tif you're a rioty, you can't do
it left handed. It's hard.That's a hard transition, man, and
whatever it really is. And Igot to give you a risk throwing that
hook with a whiffle ball. That'sa lot of that's a lot of torque.
We gotta we got a MRI orU c L. Man. I'm
concerned about my spin rate on myspin rate on those when I was trying

(01:30:21):
to throw the screwball, that's whatdid it. But I'm not giving you.
I'm not giving you a prostate check. So there you go, So
go ahead, man. So seriously, we want to talk about catching mechanics.
And I don't want to get toooverboard here, but I know you
guys know enough about baseball. It'sfrom the catching position. But you know,
when did it become fashionable? Likeback in the day, framing,

(01:30:43):
you know, was more of asubtle thing. And what I mean is,
you know, just a slight moveof the wrist something just to visually
maybe trick the empire it's not.The dude is sitting there like one foot
away from you, so he canhe can see what you're doing with your
hands. You're not fooling anybody.But somehow I was watching the other night.
You know, this is why Isay that I love Diz. He's
a great kid. He just needssome pricking too, you know, he

(01:31:04):
needs some counseling, because dude,this dude is framing the pitch. He
he caught the pitch at the bottomof zone and literally moved his glove all
the way. He framed his pitchthe entire length of the strike zone,
up and down. And it's notIt's not just him, you know.
And if you ask an umpire,I'd love to ask, like ten umpires,
what do you think about that?And they're like, well, every

(01:31:25):
catcher I think him off. Ithink they said, I think I think
they say, don't don't you know, don't condescend me if it's a foot
outside the plate, don't waste yourtime framing it, and that you're trying
to embarrass me. Yes, Idon't frame a foot outside the plate.
It's not going to get called astrike, right. But it's not just
DZ. But it's just like itbecome the thing going on and I'm sitting

(01:31:47):
there. It just drives me crazybecause I used to catch. You know,
I was the star of our fastitsoftball team, so you know when
I went down to one, whenI went down to when I went down
to one knee, it really extendedmy career into my forties. But now
I'm kidding. I got a fewpaychecks to catch. But anyway, I
was just curious if anybody else noticethis, or I'm just like a tortured
catcher. The thank you you're theman, the Manny san Ghian love.

(01:32:12):
You don't even know thing about man. Go go back and look at the
way he crouched behind the plate.He and Tony Panay san Gian. Yeah,
because I did catch it in myselfas well. You're oh you're a
catcher. Yeah, I can tellyou this. I'm with him on this.
Now. Frame close, but maybewith Angel Hernandez or something, if
you frame four feet outside of plate, he'll still call it a strike.

(01:32:32):
I don't know, but I ifI was an upire and you're come on,
man, the ball's four it's eightinches outside the plate. You don't
try to don't try to it Italmost feels condescending to the umpire. I
do get it close, of course, but it's always the best framers make
it subtle, even if it missesby six inches. It's not a jerk,
you know. And it's not justhere, it's around the league.

(01:32:53):
It is rampant baseball. Let meframe a pitch that's not even a competitive
strike, let alone a competitive ball. So yeah, I actually am with
him. If you're the umpire,I think you're like, tap the catcher
on the shoulder. Come on now, dude, you know better than that.
It is. I don't know ifit's a big problem, but I
do see it. It's rampant baseball. Yeah, there's no question about it.
Let's get into the eight o'clock hour, seven one, three, two,

(01:33:15):
seven ninety. We'll keep taking yourcalls right here about these Astros.
Let's let's hear from the manager,Joe Spot and how he felt about the
outing last night from Justin Vernie.That's next on Sportslock seven eighty KBM E
Houston, ab HD two Houston,my heart radio station. The Astros,
thro the Rockets, Rockets Basketball,your home for your home teams. This

(01:33:38):
is Sports Talk seven ninety driven bythat Classic Elite to view a GMC Studios
for the Elite Car Buying Experience.Saul Spray, Old Spray Houston. Okay,
let's do this. Sean Salisbury thereto usc Troes time Friends shown Salisbury,

(01:34:00):
Ryan Lima, go Lobos. Thisis the Sean Sells Very show.
Celtics close out the Heat they moveon in the Eastern Conference playoffs, MAVs
take a three to two series leadover the Clippers. With these astuals losing
an extra innings, they fall toten to twenty. Joe Spotta spoke to

(01:34:23):
the media after the game, andhe spoke specifically about not sticking to the
game plan. This is what Joespot had to say. You know what,
we just kind of expanded his zonea little bit, you know something
that we've done a better job offand just kind of staying in zone and
swinging out better pitches. I justfelt like we were trying too hard to

(01:34:43):
get those guys in and winning staywith with our game plan, so expanding
the zone, and I think youknow what that is, Sean. I
think my opinion, I think thatthey as hitters kind of understand that they've
struggled with runners in the scoring position. So that shows me they're pressing a
lot, trying to a little toomuch rather than staying within the strike zone
and getting a job done. Ithink that's that's what we're seeing. They

(01:35:05):
were one for eight with runners inscoring position last night. And doesn't the
more that you struggle, what's humannature? Zone? Right? The more
the more the more you are overlyanxious to go get stuff. It's human
nat in all the things we use, Like you are in a hurry instead
of urgent and patient, and thisteam's right now and desperate it's not the

(01:35:28):
word. They're not there yet,but they are playing in a hurry.
Does that make sense? There's aPlaying fast and playing urgent are different than
playing hurried and uh, you know, impatient, they're they're not. This
is not the they're not as selectiveas they usually are. Do that makes
sense? Seven one, three,two, five seven ninety og Q is

(01:35:51):
up first and then we'll get theSteve O GQ. Thanks for holding what's
going on? Long time A longtime say, I'll be brief, but
try to dad with me a littlebit. Uh. Excellent point Sean about
uh Manny san Gun and uh thehigher prolonged his career I put another name

(01:36:15):
on your mind, Pudge Rodriguez,very good at that is one of the
best of all time at it.He was subtle and great. Yep.
And then when I think about thePirate shown, I think about all the
great nicknames man, you know,and pop stars a scrap Iron Garner,
who was our coaching one time,of course, Man mad Dog at Billy
Billy Madlock, the Cobra, rightField, the Cobra and right Field,

(01:36:40):
David Parker. Yeah, I'm withyou, Oba, Marino and Center you
know, hey, the great teamnow Man Bruce Kent, John Candelaria,
the candy Man. Yep, yep. Loaded loaded with nicknames. Yeah.
And I got a comment on that, that rule man, that rule for
the basel. Actually I'm a puristman. I actually have seen two low

(01:37:03):
hitters about Astros pitchers. Now,I don't know how many people have done
that in person. I've seen two. One in sixty seven with Don Wilson
where he struck out. It washank Amon was the last one he struck
out and later on his career hisno hitter. The other one he threw
he struck out Johnny Bench for thelast album. So as a little little

(01:37:25):
astro knowledge guy that I've acquired.But the rule for the second bas is
actually called the International rule, whichwas brought into fast pitch softball because in
fast pitch softball the pitchers are likeeighty percent dominance. You got a great
pitcher, you can go a longwait. So a lot of games will
go ten, twelve, thirteen Inuitsbecause both pitchers and just not give up
fifthing. So they come up withthis rule to put the runner in second

(01:37:48):
to kind of keep the game fromgoing sixteen to seventeen innings. But as
a baseball purist, I can't standit, Amen, because it's ruin the
game to me. And I'm Idon't know about I'm sixty two, I
don't I don't like the games.And you know certain things that you know
that I that I've gotten used to, and it's no good for the game.

(01:38:09):
But like you said, Sean,even if they put them at sirch
base, at least they have toearn it a little bit, you know,
you know, a single in thegas for you know, a gaff
of up for the double and scorefrom first or whatever. But just a
blue kid from second base and youlose a game. You know, it's
hard for me to start the gap. So they worked so hard for now
and then and to get there.And I think Adam's middle name is probably

(01:38:30):
Jerome. We look like Adam Jerome, Jerome, Adam Jerome Wexler. Yeah.
Yeah, he's got intellect. Thankyou, man. Hey, don't
be a stranger now, Okay,GQ, it's great. Oh the uh.
I had triple checked my name Og Q. And I had a
couple of other q's come in,but they were kind of like David and
me. Man. So it's goodto wake up knowing you're the O g

(01:38:53):
Yeah, damn right, appreciate that'sthe old time game or nothing. Now
we're calling your original goat, sothere you go. Instead of the original,
instead of the original gangster, you'rethe original goat. So we appreciate
you, brother, good day.Appreciate it man. All right, and
let's get to Steve. Steve,what's happening? All right, guys,

(01:39:15):
I was at the game last night. But the first point is Manyston game
tried to get KBMS Houston a HDto Houston iHeart radio station. The Astros,
Rose, the Rockets, Rocket Basketballyour home for your home teams.
This is sports Talk seven ninety drivenby that classic Elite to View at GMC

(01:39:35):
Studios for the Elite Car Buying Experience. Saulisbury Houston, Okay, let's do
this, Sewan Salisbury, there tousc true, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury,
Ryan Lima, go Lobos. Thisis the shawns else Very show.

(01:40:02):
With these Astuals losing an extra innings, they fall to ten and twenty,
Joe Spota spoke to the media afterthe game and he spoke specifically about not
sticking to the game plan. Thisis what Joe spot had to say.
You know what, we just kindof expanded his zone a little bit,
you know something that we've done abetter job off and just kind of staying
the zone and swinging out better pitches. I just felt like we were trying

(01:40:27):
too hard to get those guys inand winning stay with with our game plan,
so expanding the zone, and Ithink, you know what that is,
Sean. I think my opinion,I think that they as hitters kind
of understand that they've struggled with runnersin scoring position, So that shows me
they're pressing a lot, trying todo a little too much rather than staying
within the strike zone and getting ajob done. I think that's that's what

(01:40:48):
we're seeing. They were one foreight with runners in scoring position last night.
And doesn't the more that you struggle, what's human nature? You expand
your zone? Right, the morethe more, the more you are overly
anxious to go get stuff. It'shuman na in all the things we like.
You are in a hurry instead ofurgent and patient. And this team's

(01:41:09):
right now desperate. It's not theword. They're not there yet, but
they are playing in a hurry.Does that make sense? There's a Playing
fast and playing urgent are different thanplaying hurried, and uh, you know,
impatient, They're they're not. Thisis not the They're not as selective
as they usually are. Does thatmakes sense? Seven one, three,

(01:41:31):
two, five, seven ninety Og Q is up first and then we'll
get to Steve O GQ. Thanksfor holding what's going on? Long time?
Tell us a long time. SayI'll be brief, but try to
that with me a little bit.Uh excellent point Sean about uh Man is

(01:41:53):
san gim and uh the highest prolongedhis career. I put another name on
your mind, Pudge Rodriguez, verygood at that is one of the best
of all time at it he wassubtle and great yep. And then when
I think about the Pirate Shun,I think about all the great nicknames man,
you know, and pop stars ofscrap Iron Garner, who was our

(01:42:15):
coaching one time, of course,Man mad Dog at Billy Madlock, the
Cobra right the Cobra and right field, David Parker. Yeah, I'm with
you, Oba Marino and Center youknow, hey, the great team now
Man Bruce Kent, John Candelaria,the candy Man yep, brother yep,

(01:42:36):
loaded loaded with nicknames. Yeah.And I got a comment on that that
rule, man, that rule forthe second baseman. Actually I'm a tourist,
man. I actually have seen twolow hitters about Astro's pictures. Now,
I don't know how many people havedone that in person. I've seen
too. One in sixty seven withDon Wilson when he struck out. It

(01:42:59):
was Hank Any was the last onehe struck out, and later on his
career his no hit brother one hethrew he struck out Johnny Bench for the
last album. So as a littlelittle Astro a knowledge that I've acquired.
But the rule for the second baseis actually called the International rule, which
was brought into fast pitch softball becausein fast pitch softball, the pitchers are

(01:43:21):
like eighty percent dominance. You gota great pitcher, you can go a
long way. So a lot ofgames will go ten, twelve, thirteen
inners because both pitchers and just notgiving up the thing. So they come
up with this rule to put therunner in second to kind of keep the
games from going sixteen to seventeen innings. But as a baseball purist, I
can't stand it because it's ruined thegame to me. And I mean,

(01:43:44):
I don't know about I'm sixty two. I don't like the games, and
you know, certain things that youknow that I've gotten used to, and
it's no good for the game.But like you said, Sean, even
if they put him at first base, at least they'd have to earn it
a little bit, you know,you know one in the gap, you
know a gap of for the doubleand scoll from first or whatever. But
just a blue kid from second baseand you lose the game. You know,

(01:44:08):
it's hall for me to start thegap. So they worked so hard
for that and then to get there. And I think Adam's middle name is
probably Jerome. You look like AdamJerome Jerome Adam Jerome Wexler. Yeah,
yeah, thank you, man,Hey, don't be a stranger now,
Okay, g Q. It's great. I had triple checked my name O

(01:44:29):
g Q, and I had acouple of other q's coming in, but
they were kind of like David andme. Man, So it's good to
wake up knowing you're the O gYeah, damn right, appreciate that's the
old time game. But we're callingyou the original goat, so there you
go. Intead of the original insteadof the original gangster, you're the original

(01:44:50):
goat. So we appreciate you,brother, right, thanks, all right,
and let's get to Steve. Steve, what's happening A alright, guys,
I was at the game last night. But the first point is Many
singe and tried to get Klemeny outof the law that they never could find
him, soap, my hats offthe manus in game. Okay, let's

(01:45:10):
talk acronyms. Brian Anthony Lalima,ball b A LL. I don't think
we're gonna debut Enrique Ralph y'all asin baller does dodge ball wait, dodger
ball, Dodger ball interesting. Areyou a Dodger fan anyways? No,
I'm not my When my dog Dodgerwas born, I was dating a girl

(01:45:31):
and I didn't have any I wasgonna give him away to a buddy of
mine last minute. He could notdo it, so I kept him.
I had my dog, Slider,who I named myself. The girl I
was dating at the time named himDodger. He was old enough to remember
it, and it's stuck. I'mnot a Dodgor. I call Slider slide
piece. Yeah all right, pde Slider. I had to put her
down two years ago. Yeah,how long ago? Two years ago?

(01:45:54):
Coming up on ye unfortunately? Okay, So I'm gonna call you ball b
a LLL. Now let's talk aboutSO network. Now this is movie time,
tripley social network. The guy goesand leaves and says, take to
the Facebook, and now that's calledFacebook. So I like this because instead
of the sound styles the show,I think it's Superstar way s OHI you're

(01:46:17):
super radio Star and it's Sean Oh. Okay, now here's my point.
It's real easy to say, oh, he should have looked and all that
stuff. The guy made a greatplay in center field last night. It
was almost kind of weird because itwas like the Red Sox Sean with you
know, they came up to say. It was almost like the same game

(01:46:39):
a little different because Cartosi was hisname. He came up twice. He
could have if he would have hita home run, this would been something
interesting. Home and two times earland with a game. But my point
is you got to those situational awareness. You mean position. Well, what
I'm saying is Altuve, you wantat least get it now to me.

(01:47:01):
So so it's easy for everybody topromplay and be there. I'm sure quarterback,
so I'm going to football now.Sean will tell you here's the quarterback.
There's defensive backs that can run justas fast, you know, backwards
that they can't frontwards. I knewsome of these guys were the same.
Okay, so I think in thatsituation, run backwards for a little bit

(01:47:24):
because you can now see as you'rerunning, and then you can decide,
oh, you trought the ball.I mean run back now at least ye
out too, VI up and that'sall I want to say. I think,
yeah, I'm not going to cutthe guy down because he went for
it. But maybe they should trysomething like that in that situation because I
want to have Altuve. I wantmy last shot. I don't want to
double play. I want my lastshot. I want al two bay.

(01:47:45):
There you go. It's right,Steve. Thanks for the call man.
And here's the deal is. Ithink we all love the way Kartini plays
and his aggressiveness is one thing,but it still doesn't take the fact you
can't make that out right. Andhe's right. I think he's talking about
backpedal towards third base, so youcan see if he caught it, and
you can, you know a littlebit, and then you can sprint back
to second base. You know,you just got it. That's one of

(01:48:06):
those you got you're caught in between. I like the aggressives, but you
also can't make that last out inthe bottom of extra innings and take the
bat out of the next guy's handbecause a hard single scores you. Anyway.
It was a great playing left field, I get it, but it
was still a base running air rightby a guy who was playing aggressive.
I understand. You don't beat himdown for it. It was just a

(01:48:27):
base running mistake and that's just theway it is. And they made a
mistake at the wrong time. Youthink Adam Wexer's middle name is Jasper?
No? No, okay? Whatabout Jet J E T T. I
know my buddies, I know somepeople that the son names his child Jet.
I think it's a cool name.I did with two teeth. I

(01:48:50):
don't I don't know what we cango all the Jay's we want. Maybe
it's just j with nothing, yeah, like Michael J. Fox, j
A. Y Wexler, J Wexler, Jacob Adam Jacob Wexler with a seer
of k O night will change uphis parents had you know, style,

(01:49:14):
man, I don't know what itis. Why is he frigging holding out?
I don't know if he is askedto send you his middle names?
I want to. I want Adamto call in seven. We keep We've
had to hit it. Have wehit Adam Jeters? It's either James or
Joseph guaranteed, you're guaranteed that's nota j What if he has two What
if he has two last names?His his it's Adam J. Wexler on

(01:49:36):
Twitter, trying to get oh yeah, yeah yeah. What if they have
two last names, like it's AdamJohnson Wexler. No, okay, no,
you know some people do that.Now, what if it's a hyphen?
It could be it could be yeah, Jay Johnson, Uh no,

(01:49:58):
it's not Johnson. No, Idon't it's not Adam Jeremiah Wexler. Yeah,
that sound biblical. Could be thereyou go, We've had a Jamal
and Jerome's now. I don't thinkyou can go? Can you can you
go? Is it sound better togo to one syllables Adam Jack? Or
do you like the double syllable inthe second? You know? Roll right
Adam jerrah My, Uh yeah,it's that's that may be too many.

(01:50:23):
I think that is too many.And maybe he may be just Adam Jack.
It's not Jack, Adams, Jane, Adam Johnson or James or Joseph
guaranteed all right. I think maybeI don't know. He's probably in the
car right now. He is.It's taunting you by not giving you the
an taunting us. Yeah, sevenone, three, two two five seven
ninety. Hey, Joseph Verlander pitchedhis ass off last night. He talked

(01:50:45):
about the innings count for him.Let's talk about it next. Shotgun with
someone who's thrown from the shotgun.Football helmet to Hammett. Sean Salisbury,
Bryan, you want to see whata real football looks like. This is
the Sean Salisbury Show on Sports Talkseven ninety Smart decisions and the sucky ass

(01:51:12):
rule that will never change. Andit's awful and it's the worst gimmick in
baseball, not just because last night. Anytime, you shouldn't be rewarded for
doing nothing, meaning put a guyon second. I hate it, We'll
always hate it. You're gonna gimmick. Make the gimmick better. Get out
to al on the south side.I'll welcome in. Man. What's up?
Hey, what's up? Shun?A great take? What to call
is before? Yeah, definitely Og take about the sect the base rule.

(01:51:38):
But I'm ana digress from that,Shun. I'm gonna ask you a
question of get make a statement basicallyabout a couple of points on the game
last night. And I preached thisfrom day one, and I really stand
on this, and I believe it'sin the organized baseball game. When you
playing at that kind of level,you got to pay attention to the A

(01:52:00):
and I believe it was a gameof two. Early in the season,
I blamed the third base coach abouta run on third got picked off.
I don't know if it was ourtwo. Somebody was interesting to me that
the coach on him. That's whybaseball people have to realize. You got
base coaches. You got one onfirst and you got one on second,

(01:52:20):
and it's to wave the guy.Whatever you need to do, just knowing
the game of baseball, the fundamentals, not the basics. The fundamentals.
When the ball is popped up,we ain't talking about the guy retreating and
the ifield going back to the watertrack. When the ball is hit on
the back the outfield is talk.First thing he do when the crack of

(01:52:42):
the bat and the ball going assto take a step back, just step
even if the ball don't go backbehind you get you can push off that
back foot and run forward. Youtalk to step back first, just to
take a step back, just incase. But he ran the ball down
coming forward. When the ball ishit that shellow pop Warner baseball coach to

(01:53:02):
teach you you got to hold abag. It ain't like he knocking it
out the park. You at homefor the guy even catch the ball.
The ball is hit shallow, Whyyou running the bag? You got the
tag, and I just think basecoaching and the nuance of this here.
I hate the rule. But atthe same time, man, you got

(01:53:23):
two sets highes. You got abase coach out there, and the guy
need to pay attention to the popfly. You got to watch that because
you you gotta tag. You gota lot going on on that bag,
and the game is in the processof getting worn. That's crucial. That's
the third second time the base running. That's inexcuseable. I've never seen this
in baseball at my life, themistreating the bag, not only just the

(01:53:44):
overtime, the tenth ending room,just the bag not paying attention. And
I just think Alex bergman, Imean shown to me. I just think
at his career. It ain't likehe been playing thirty years talking about that
boy first base breakman is it's thesame uh so thumb. He's exactly doing
the sun at that. But we'regonna keep saying he gonna come around.
You're gonna come around. Man.You done dug yourself in the hole at

(01:54:08):
the best Astros Mike and finished atfive hundreds. Because they gonna have to
play ostronomical baseball to catch up thiswhole day because of the kicking laps in
the hitting. You ain't gonna changethat with what you got. You may
minif solidified a little bit, butshun it is what it is. You
take. Thank you. I appreciateit, Uh Sean, just real quick.

(01:54:32):
To Al's point, you're not gonnatag up on that play. It
always comes with passion. Yeah,And and it has nothing to do with
the bass coach on that. Ifanything, Kartini was trying to be aggressive,
trying to make a play. Heprobably felt like that ball was going
to fall. And if it doesfall, he scores, no question about
it, exactly quant may and that'swhat happened. But if you're gonna be

(01:54:56):
not as aggressive, you're not gonnatag. You're gonna go halfway. You're
gonna see the balls, and you'regoing to retreat back to second base.
And I don't think it's a it'snot a base code you think you think
Gary Pettis is really sending him onthat. Absolutely and on the but on
that side, I understand something aboutthe old school. When you learn little
league baseball and you start back,you know, you start your first step
back, then attack. Excuse me, I'm sorry I digress, but I

(01:55:19):
apologize for that. Excuse me isnumber one. I don't even think you
go halfway on that because you're ina position you pop up and you can
still throw the guy out at secondon a diving catch. That's one where
you've got to get off the bagin case. So you make it the
third without being thrown out on atag play, and now you're in position
for a sacrifice fly with one out. And Gary, what that wasn't a

(01:55:42):
petis call? That was Listen.He aired on the side of aggressiveness,
and we're not scoring many runs.I need to get We got to tie
this up to have another chance.I get it. The other side of
it is and we love Listen.Care team's been brilliant this year. He's
done great things. But we're justtalking about that one particular play. What

(01:56:04):
you have to do. You haveto be more conservative on the second.
Even though it was a great play. You still can't run your Gangbusters without
looking and knowing. But you justcan't right now if you go part of
the way and he doesn't make thatcatch. Okay, at least it's like
golf, Brian, think about this. You gotta you got left. It's

(01:56:27):
a little open and right, yougotta You're in a position now you're down
a stroke, and the other teampart the hole fair enough, I mean
you, you're you guy, partthe hole. If you're gonna miss,
you always gotta miss. Where ifyour big miss is still got to be
playable. You're not aiming right andhoping for a draw and hit it in
the middle of the lake and itdraws into the lake. Even though your

(01:56:49):
draw is nice, what you're gonnado is you're gonna aim at the edge
of the lake and draw it intothe left side of the fairway where there's
less trouble. Same thing here,Okay, being aggressive. I want to
be aggressive, but I can't makethe last out. But I'll at least
still be staying on third with oneout, and now there's many different ways
for me to score. I don'tlisten. I'd rather be aggressive. To

(01:57:12):
me a coward not take a chance. But in that situation, you just
got to be. It's just gottabe. It was a base running air
on aggressiveness, not on being lazy. There's a difference to me. So
I get why we're not beating himdown, But who is on who?
Who is who's coming into plate?So what do you gotta do. You
gotta you gotta let him take aswing, and think about this, who

(01:57:35):
hits second even though he's not hittingthe ball well at least now, even
if al too the pops up anddoesn't get it where he wants, or
it's a hard ground ball to thethird basement and you got to stay on
third, you still get another swing. That's you made it, they made
a great catch. If they droppedit, you get two more times.

(01:57:55):
So at least your your ball's playable. I think that's what I'm the way
I feel, at least still allowedto be playable and not take the ball
out of a guy or the batout of a hand of a guy not
with the runners in scoring position,but is hitting the ball as well as
anybody in baseball right now. Sothat's all I'm saying. It's no dog
on Kartini. Those are just thesimple facts, big facts, dog and

(01:58:18):
big facts that that's one of thosewhere what do we always say, don't
make the last out on a baserunning air. I don't make that especially
well, and you're down three andyou've already but I understand Karatina thinking,
man, we're having trouble you know, carving out runs, I'd be aggressive.
Listen, it was an air,But an air being aggressive to me

(01:58:38):
is better than an airbeing being makingjust your constant stupidity on the base pass.
If that was the game, thatwasn't the case. I get it,
but it just can't happen when yougot Altov at the plate. It
cannot got Maldonado's coming up next.Problem, Maybe you take the chance if
he was saying you know what I'msaying. Maybe, But even then you'd
still get two swings at the batinstead of one if he dropped, yep.

(01:59:00):
And if he doesn't, you're standingon second. A base hit scores
you the next time. Yeah,that's a You got to give yourself at
least a chance. And that didn'thappen last night. Player transactions in twenty

team than we've seen and to haveit come out this way I mean,
who in the world would have known. But it has just been crazy.

(02:03:04):
I'm still I'm an Astros optimist.We have a lot of bats. I
feel like getting some of our pitch. I mean, this is what everybody's
thinking, right and hoping that we'vegot a lot of good players and we'll
turn it around. I like aSpota. I don't think he needs to
change, but he may not beshe may. I don't know. You.

(02:03:25):

(02:07:05):
to forget that. We got thehe playing on playing to playing all the
cuts. But I digress. Therelove it, Hey, that statistic I
have Yeah, bring it, letme hear it. They the Astros have
not gone three consecutive days without makingsome sort of player transaction so far in

(02:07:26):
twenty twenty four. A lot ofMovement three days straight without making a transaction.
Guys have been sent up, broughtdown, set up. Never four
days. No, I can't gowithout three straight without three straight days.
So you're basically saying that their transactionmatches the wind streak and the three days

(02:07:50):
there longest wind streak of the year, right am I? Right? Yeah?
Games their longest and three days thereis the longest. They go.
Yes, all right, And yeahthey're not they're not give them credit for
that. They're not sitting around waitingfor things to happen. They're trying to
make trying to make some things happenon Movement and getting people opportunities. Just
got to get on that roll thatthey're on and no better way and to

(02:08:11):
start it back again, and itwon't be easy, aren't they. Arraghetty
starts tonight, correct if I'm notmistaken, another grind for him and he's
learning on the job fast. Yeah. They've got the game tonight against the
Guardians with Raghetty on the mound andthey are facing Logan Allen Lefty. He's

(02:08:31):
three and one, got a fivepoint four e Ra Spencer Arraghedy Owen three
with a ten point nine to sevene R so hopefully rag gedtty. I
mean his stuff looked better last time. Obviously he ran into another big inning.
What he gets with six or sevenstrikeouts last time? The seven?
Yeah, he uh getting some swingingmiss last time. This will be a

(02:08:54):
this will be a fun Uh yeah, last result was seven. Okay,
there you go. Gave up fourearned runs, seven hits, three and
two thirds against the Cubs. Uh. Pitches, that's where the excuse me,
that's where the issue has been.He gets into an inning where the
pitch count skyrockets. Yep. He'sthe first outing seventy nine pitches, second
outing eighty seven pitches, third outingninety pitches. So hopefully keep that pitch

(02:09:16):
count down. Uh. The strikeoutcount has gone up each game. Three
in the first, five in thesecond, Yeah, five and second,
then seven, three, five,seven. Maybe we'll get nine from him
tonight. How many nine inning gamesyou think you'll get this year? I
let me start with the ash listwards here, I'm not talking about around
base How many nine? How manycomplete games you think you'll get this year?

(02:09:37):
Let's answer that next. Fair enough, let's talk about the pitching in
Major League Baseball? How many nineinny complete games will we get from a
pitcher this year? That's next toSports Talk seven to eighty. You don't
have to be a pip to getyour lady to work at your command,
mister, that's right, just that'sjust my device to play Sports Talk seven
ninety on. I heard radio TheSean Salisburg He Show continues on your smart

(02:10:01):
TV. Listen to Sports Talk sevenninety on any device with our free iHeartRadio
app. Spencer Arraghetti on the mound. Celtics moving on in the Eastern Conference
playoffs. They close out the Heat. The Mavericks take a three to two
series lead against the Clippers. Allright, Sean, you asked the question

(02:10:22):
how many complete games will we seethis season from the Astros? How many
did we see all of Do wehave a complete game data? I know
we do. On how many completegames baseball had last year? I can
get set the over under before youlook it up. Would give me a
guess. I have not looked thestatistic up. I know it's easy to
find on what's that baseball site thatI have? There's tons of them.

(02:10:43):
What's the one that we use allthe time? Though you and I talk
about there's Baseball Reference there's a baseballthere's fan grafts, there's what's the other
one? Baseball Reference is always agood guy, right exactly? Maybe that's
the one I was talking about.But I'm I'm just curious. You is
forty to too high? I thinkso? For the Major League Baseball forty

(02:11:07):
complete games in one hundred and sixtytwo games times thirty, I think so,
which is fascinating to me. SoI wonder how many we had complete
games in baseball in twenty twenty three. Last year, Sandy Alcintara and Jordan
Lyles both through three complete games,which is which is epic these days,
right, yeah, total, I'llhave to to keep dogging. We'll try

(02:11:31):
to find it. Well, that'ssix between two guys. How many complete
games did we have here in Houstonlast year? Well, Farmers no hitter
obviously, right is it Farmers?Yeah? Yeah, Farmers no hitter.
Why am I tripping? That wasthat was last year? Yes? Okay?

(02:11:52):
And so I'm just I'm thinking oneguy, full complete game, nine
innings. I just wonder how manyyou can expect this year when you say
getting a complete game, when you'regonna get nine, I don't know if
you're gonna get I know, thespecialization. I'm not sure you're gonna get
many from many teams this year.Let's see, I'm still digging. There's

(02:12:13):
so much information. Excuse me,there's so much, so many statistics fromer
Valdez had three no excuse me.That was in twenty twenty two, and
he was considered a workhorse with innings, with three complete games in twenty twenty
two. So far this season,we've had Jose Barrios, Renel Blanco,

(02:12:35):
Tanner Hawk, Cole Reagan's, MaxFreed, Ranger Suarez. So that's six.
That's six complete games and tour twentyalmost game thirty games, thirty thirty
right, so you know, soif you let's just say, so thirty
games in and you had how manysix yeah, so sixty games. Let's

(02:12:58):
say it gets to twelve, onehundred and twenty games, is twenty four?
Is twenty four? One hundred andsixty games? Would be I take
it back. We said there wereforty games in thirty games in. There
were thirty thirty four complete games lastseason, so I said forty and it
was the under. So we're atsix now in thirty games. So in

(02:13:20):
sixty games there'd be twelve and ninetygames. There'd be eighteen one hundred and
twenty games, twenty four one hundredand sixty games, thirty and give or
take ten. So the over undersset it at forty. This team complete
games, they won't get eight ofthem. No, if toe hold,
No, maybe maybe five if it'sfive, if you're fortunate, I would

(02:13:43):
say three. Yeah, I setthe over under at three and a half.
I'd probably take the under. Iwould take the under right, especially
knowing that their belief in a braidyou Presley and hater. Yeah, I'm
with you. So if you're countingon nine tonight, I'll bet you any
amount of money that ain't happening,especially with the guy who's still finding his
way as a young pitcher. It'snot happening. No, you know what,

(02:14:07):
the new nine is five and athird. You don't forget the third.
That's nuts. Yeah. Seven onethree two one two five seven ninety
GP, Good morning, good morning, A great show. Carratini. He
started off great with his technique byturning uh to look at the outfielders,

(02:14:28):
but he were at the center fielder. He never saw the left fielder.
And if you saw the if yousee the replay, you see that when
he turned and looked at the centerfield and knew he couldn't get to the
ball, he turned and ran.If you watch, if you watch closely
the replay, he never saw theleft field to come in. So you
have to know where all outfielders are. That's my comment. Hell of a

(02:14:50):
point, GP. He hasn't beenbrought up yet today, where as visual
whereas visuals were thought the Senate,he must have thought the center fielder did
it because he obviously and think hecaught it, and he was. And
I think that's a good point.It located the center fielder, but didn't
locate the left fielder. And that'sit's an easy mistake to make at times
on a ball that was hit ina place that normally you may not get

(02:15:11):
to. Yeah, but again,you also have to know who's on that.
That's exactly right, and you gotto know the situation of the game.
As much as we love Victor,we want him in a line up
every day, it's playing somewhere.But as much as you got to you
have to understand because if it waslet's say it was somebody, if Jake
Myers made that air, what wouldbe happening today. Jake Myers lost game.

(02:15:35):
The people, I'm sure we dohave selective criticism based on how somebody's
but we all do. Oh man, it's listen. It was a base
running air in a wrong situation.But you're not going to browbeat the guy
for being aggressive. It was amistake, and I am sure that Victor
Karattini feels the same way. Hemade it being aggressive, So you get

(02:15:56):
it. But the timing of itwas you just you wouldn't. You wouldn't.
You don't subscribe to that on aregular basis, You don't. But
again, and then another thing thatI mentioned earlier, and we've talked about,
you can't go one freight with runnersin scoring position. Of course,
it's not one play that costs thegame. That play just didn't give you

(02:16:18):
a chance to possibly extend it orwin it with one swing of the bat.
So there you go. But I'mnot going to sit here and when
he comes, if if it's Carotene'sin the game, they say brow beat
him and say, oh man,this guy sucks. No, well,
he's played phenomenal a little more onthe gressive side. Last night it didn't
work out. He was on thegressive side of the night before pumping the

(02:16:39):
ball into the seats and it workedright. Yeah, wring somebody up real
quick. That kind of sounds likeyour cadence. Yeah, that's what it
sounds like. You know what,Angel Hernandez really not that bad. Last
night on Hell was pretty good.And I wouldn't say good. He just
wasn't that bad. I said prettygood. Yeah, I've never said good

(02:17:01):
in my life before saying something infront of on Hell's game. I tweeted
it out last night. Put somerespect on absolutely god. I found his
two umpire scorecards from his last twooutings. Do you know how many ball
strike calls he missed in two games? Had to be thirty close twenty six?
What's my other guy's name that struggles? C B. Buckner? Did

(02:17:24):
you see his miss call on theball down? Yeah, you're what the
announcer said. He crushed his ass, see I mean dud and he punched
that strike. Yeah, he punchedit like it was dude. He punched
it like this is the easiest callin the world that I missed by nine
inches. Terrible at his damn damnnear as ankles on the outer half.

(02:17:48):
But yet, hey, he'll worktoday. I want those two on the
same crew. No, you toldso, he could have a four hour
show just talking about it. Listenlike that. Don't want to make it
personal ever, do But we're talkingabout somebody's job. Can you imagine if
they were on the same crew,that would be literally the worst umpire crew
of all time. Put Joe Weston there, and who's the other one.

(02:18:11):
There's one cowboy Joel just ring youup and run you there's another one
umpires Yeah and MLB that's easy togoogle real quick. Who am I thinking
of? C B. Buckner?Of course he's n Ron Coples. Yeah
bad. Sometimes he does the toptwo me it's me, oh yeah good?

(02:18:33):
Say so he did? There?Andrew Nandez and Cebe Buckner are the
two worst hunter. Wendellstat Well,he just it's crazy, you think.
And he's got incredible in his bloodlinesDNA. He's got incredible. Like I
said, Harry Wendelstat was with CrewChief in the long time great umpire of

(02:18:56):
Major League Baseball. Well, hisson is not a chip off the old
Well, apparently his son's got alittle more rabbit heres. And if you're
in the upper deck in the fourhundred section he'll run your ass, you
will even if it will, buthe'll he won't run your ass. He's
gonna run the manager just because somehowhe feels that it was it's the manager's
job to control the drunk guy insection four hundred. Yep, sure is

(02:19:18):
yep, that is one hundred.We're not complaining about Angel her today.
We are not. That's a goodthing. Uh, let's talk to Justin.
Had a lot of conversations with himin between keep it. It was
only keeping a course like Angel stayfocused. Let's talk college football. Deon

MAVs take a three to two serieslead over the Clippers. Stuck a little
college football deon Sanders and Shador Sandersyesterday all over Twitter. Uh, let's

(02:21:07):
let me try to break this downhere for you, Sean real quick.
You had Xavier Smith. He isa former safety for the University of Colorado.
He did an interview with the Athleticand it was a story that was
published Monday, and Smith, inthis interview said that Dion Sanders quote never

(02:21:31):
even tried to get to know meand end quote, and that he was
also quote destroying guy's confidence and beliefin themselves. So what does Shador Sanders
say, ion I it's io nwhich is ion? I don't even remember

(02:21:52):
him? To be honest, brohad to be very mid at best,
he quote tweeted the official Athletic Twitterpage. It was a tweet that said
Dion Sanders recommended Xavier Smith hit thetransfer portal like many others, he didn't
during spring practices, Smith felt morelike an extra in the background of a
real reality show, and frustration setin before he eventually left for Austin p

(02:22:16):
which is an FCS school. Hesaid quotes, I was actually getting mad,
like tears come into my eyes because, bro, you never even tried
to get to know me and quote. So the first part of that was
Dion or Shoulder saying that this wasneither guy was mid Who's no, No,
I'm talking about who said I didn'teven know who he was. He
was Mid? Who said that thatwas Shador Sanders. Okay, so you're
telling me this, So I'm judginga player and not getting to know him

(02:22:41):
because he's not a star on myteam. You should know every single player
on your team, especially now.I'm just this is from my point of
view on the as an outsider,and fortunately haven't been an insider on teams
as you have throughout we all havein some way shape for him. I
don't care if it's the Little Leagueor eighty five guys on scholarship. I
don't even remember the guy that hewas made. So you're judging friendships and

(02:23:03):
the way you approach and not knowingyour teammates how good based on how good
or they perform on the field,that that's how we're doing this thing.
I think that's to me. I'mjust talking about that point there. That
quote, that's horrible leadership. Idon't care if he's a walk on.
As a quarterback and a head coach, you need to treat the walk on.

(02:23:24):
We hear this all the time.What do you hear? What's that
quote you always hear? I tryto treat the CEO and the janitor the
same. We've heard you see thatquote all the time, right, you
see it on social media. Ihave seen it all the time. I
don't know what the difference is andtreating the backup tight end, the backup
fullback, the assistant. So doesthe assistant coach that maybe was a graduate
assistant not deserve the same respect oryou to get No, I didn't say

(02:23:46):
friends, but maybe I don't evenremember the dude. If you ask me
about a teammate a team, I'dlike to think over the course of my
time that even if I wasn't buddieswith him walk on, that I'd still
I mean, every day that Iwasn't around him. Oh yeah, he
was a good to have around andgood teammate. But to judge a guy's

(02:24:07):
life on his performance or what kindof personing was on, Well, he
was a mid player. I don'tunderstand that approach, and I don't know
what you gathered by saying it eitherway, say it while you're in the
building as opposed to why you're atThat's another thing. Why don't we always
say stuff about something? If yougot a chest up and let's find out,
go to the coach. And ifyou're the other side, if you're
Schuder Sanders, you think the guy'smid or doesn't make an impact whatever,

(02:24:28):
why don't you talk to him aboutit while he's there? He just never
understood that. Shador Sanders, bytweeting at tweeting this one shows lack of
leadership. You're the quarterback of aPower five school two. You're literally proving
the guy's point, proven the player'spoint. He literally said in this article,
you didn't even get to know me. And then Shadur Sanders says,

(02:24:50):
I don't even remember him. Tobe honest, bro had to be very
mid at best. Okay, soyou're proving the point that you didn't get
to know your teammates and you're onlyjudging him based on what that perform.
It's right, that's not the hell. That's not the way. In my
opinion, great leaders go about theirbusiness on the field. I don't care
if you ever hang around the guyoff the field. Smith was a freshman
All American at Austin p in twentytwenty three. He is now at the

(02:30:50):
you're proving the point that you didn'tget to know your teammates and you're only

That's stuff way. In my opinion, great leaders go about their business on
the field. I don't care ifyou ever hang around the guy off the
field. Smith was a freshman AllAmerican at Austin p in twenty twenty three.
He is now at the University ofTexas l Pass. So we followed

(02:31:11):
his head coach, Scotty Walden Solerow State LOBO. By the way,
and Buddy that I talked to Scottyand I stay in touch on who I
spent that week with at the uhYou'll think tank last year in Florida,
and Scotty's on the rise and heis a good, good football coach.
He is. Man, I wasthere, Well, good for him.
He's going to a guy who youwant to talk about energy, Dude,
Oh, I trust I'm not talkingyou know, I'm going through to everybody

(02:31:33):
else. As you know, it'snot an act all dude. He was
born with red bullets in his veins. Man, that dude is you tip.
If nothing else, You're going tosee them play with fast and with
energy. I assure you. Yeah. The great higher the offense that he
was on literally led uh division orno, led all of n C Double
A in passing and scoring. Oneof the years that I was at sol

(02:31:56):
Ross that he was a part ofall of it and we were Division three
with all the core ordinators and Avionto everything. Last year in Florida,
that think tank at that house andfloor were all these great going up to
the book Scotty. We watched tape. Scotty had his turn come around where
it was his He was teaching howthey're going about their offense and how they
attacked football. And you said inthere and all of us, you know,
you're getting coordinators from West Virginia andall over the country are saying longtime

(02:32:20):
courting and Scotty's young and youthful butknows football. And he walked for spending
back, you know, a couplehours, walking through what they do,
how they do it, and howhe teaches it, and you know,
questions back and forth. We're goingthrough this and it's like impressive and they're
lucky to have him at UTUP andI can no disrespect to UTEP. Guess
what this isn't his last stop,right, No it's not. He is

(02:32:41):
definitely on the rise. Okay.So then Shadia Sanders tweets that out and
it escalates into a series of backand forth. Colorado receiver Caleb Mathis then
posted a video of himself getting thebetter of Smith in a practice last spring,
to which Smith's Austin p teammate JaheimWard then came on and quote tweeted

(02:33:03):
and said, bruh, you hadthirty eight yards last year. Stopped trying
to downplay somebody. You won't runthat one on one back with him right
now? Okay, So his ownteammates Doggin who out so Dogg and Caleb
so sor Sanders did the first tweet. Right then his teammate Caleb Mathis at

(02:33:24):
Colorado correct decided to get in onit, and he posted a video of
him running a route against the kidsSmith against Xavier Smith and then Exavier Smith's
Austin p teammate Jahim Ward then wentafter Caleb Mathis from Colorado. Right there
you go, So, okay,it's announced become Colorado Versustin Colorado players versus

(02:33:46):
Austin PA players. Right. Sothen that tweet led to Ward jahem Ward
from Austin p career stats at theat Austin P. After somebody tweeted,
let me see if I can findit's such back and forth. Let's see
here, Come on, come on, Uh, Dalvin truth, Dalvin the

(02:34:09):
truth. I don't know if heplays for Uh, let me see does
even He's yeah, he doesn't evenhe doesn't even play for Colorado. He's
some guy that that exclusive content forColorado football. Uh. He screenshot at
jahem Ward's stats from twenty twenty three, twenty twenty three saying eight solo tackles

(02:34:31):
blah blah blah, and then DeonSanders himself decides to get in on it.
He quote tweets it and says,lawd Jesus that religional when you when
you post that you can't criticize somebodyright, that immediately makes it, uh,
there was more to it. Imean then then after that you had

(02:34:52):
dude that the comments came flying in. Somebody also went after or uh Deon
Sanders, and then Dion Sanders tweetedsaying, my son will be a top
five pick. Where is your songoing? L O L l O l
l O l l O l lO L I got time today, lol
l O l l O L Maybeyou should take time and go recruit.

(02:35:15):
Maybe you should shut up and stopgoing after former players. You're a head
coach. If I told you Ilike Deon, this is why people hate
Colorado. I've told you I likehim, right, yes, and I've
told you well all the other stuffwe know, but on this specific specific
situation and listen, he's he's broughtmajor attention to Colorado, a lot of

(02:35:37):
it good and some of it.You know, obviously when it comes to
lead people leaving, they're gonna befrustrating all that stuff. But in this
situation, I'm talking to all ofthem. I don't ever get fighting on
Twitter as current players. I don'tget the bad mouthing of one guy either
way, whether it's the player toDion Dion's I don't understand what I understand.
People want to get in and defendyour honor, and I like when

(02:35:58):
some he comes in and defends hisown player, or the guys at Austin
p defending their guys. It's likefamily, you fight till the end,
you do it. I get allthat, but I personally, well,
what am I gonna fight with aplayer at another school that I don't care
about? And then on the deonside, do you really need the chest
pounding? My kid's going to bea top five pick? Okay, great,

(02:36:20):
I can tell you one thing Colorado'snot doing this year, playing in
the final, playing in the toptwelve, yeah, or we twelve or
sixteen twelve twelve yeah. So butI, like I said, I do.
I like Dean. There's some thingsI disagree with what he does and
part of the recruiting and how theytalk to players and force him out and
then bring them in. There's somethings that I do different. But I'm

(02:36:41):
not the head coach of Colorado,so I just have never been in the
I don't really want to get inthe sludge with the pig thing where you're
fighting you know what I'm saying,we're just fighting overcot. What's the we
all do and say, you know, one tweet and fight back with somebody
who makes it personal. I mean, we've all done it. I okay,
what did we learn from this?Absolutely nothing? Nothing? What did

(02:37:03):
you gain from it? And Iget more recruits, they may not lose
more records. It's just that stuffthat it's just you know I I to
me, it's the there's a there'sa rabbit eared aspect to it. It's
like Jeeza because he wouldn't tell players. Most time, you tell your players
to get off social media and goto class or do all right, And
now you're popping in just fighting overit, defending your honor and your players.

(02:37:24):
I get. I just disagree withthe constant. Okay, we're just
using examples. Do you think giveme an example of a head coach you
respect? You think Stage Starkesian,I'll just use him because he's local.
Is Willie Fritz gonna go on there? I'll use a coach going to battle
with another on Twitter. And Iknow Dion uses that in a good way

(02:37:46):
because he's a former brought everything he'sdone, he's done well, he has
and he made an impact, andI like him. I'm talking abou him
for the most part. What happenedup with his school up in Ford Dallas,
That's exactly I'm just talking about generalright, he's been in public eye
all the time. I just don'tsee that, not that there's not a
different way to do it, andI do. I like Dean, but
I don't have to agree with thisor Shoulder Sanders or the kid from Austin

(02:38:07):
p who played at Colorado. Ido think there's some things at Colorado that
if they don't win, it willgo south in a hurry. If they
do win, he'll be the king. They won one game and he became
the king overnight. And then yousaw the second half of the season.
They weren't any good. They wereeasy aside from throwing the ball all over
the lot, they weren't beating anybodyphysically. So we'll see if they can

(02:38:28):
do it. They have great perimeterspeed and talented quarterback and wide receiver butt
it'll go south in a hurry whenyou create that. I just I don't
see why the battle on Twitter forcoaches or players. When you're shuder and
be on you probably don't need tojump into the mess. You're going to
be a top pick and you're gonnayou're making your head coach. That's making
an impact of the university. Iapproach it different. That's just me,

(02:38:50):
and that's not whether it's right orwrong. That's just me. And I
know you wouldn't go about it thatway. I wouldn't even I'll fight your
ass till the end. But Ijust think there's to pick the poy.
This to me is elementary school.It's a childish approach. Speaking of head
coach Willie Fritz, the new headcoach of the University of Houston football program,
they got into a little spat withthe NFL over those powder blue uniforms.

Show continues to continue. You knowmusic you can't understand, or somebody screaming

(02:40:43):
at you or whatever. Okay,but I can tell you this. That's
a good cut. It's got anice difference, and now it's a good
one. You went from banger togood one. Bangering good to me are
the same thing bang. I didn'tsay a Hall of Fame song, but
it is. He's a Hall offamer, Jim Croach, He's one of
the best ever. You want toplay a banger from nineteen seventy five player,
Are you sure Hank done it thisway? That's next tripley by Waylon
Jennings. Great, it could bea banger too. Are you sure Hank

(02:41:07):
done it this way? By WaylonJennings? There you go. Argon was
don't pander to the Waylon Jennings,Hank Junior, Hank Senior. We all
like that because it's a good country. I'm just telling you, Jim Croche's
a legend and bad bad le RoyBrown. You're not gonna give any argument
from many that say that that's nota banger back in the day. Okay,

(02:41:28):
culture yourself, dog everything ain't Quavo. Okay, I just threw that
in because either him and Chris Brownof the house. Yeah, there you
go. Remember you remember leading intothe week of Oregon versus Colorado last year?

(02:41:50):
I do remember season. I rememberit all, and Dan Lanning came
out said his thing on a speech. Yep. So he said basically in
that audio that Colorado was fighting forclicks and not wins, and then everybody
was in an uproar. Correct,right, it turned out that way,
didn't it. And here we are, Sador Sanders and Dion Sanders are on

(02:42:13):
Twitter after going four and eight tryingto flex on former players. Yeah,
I think I'm well, I'm gonnawait to judge Colorado's progress on the click
versus wins at the end of thisyear. Well, the Big Ten is
not gonna be easy. They're notgoing to the Big ten. Sorry,

(02:42:33):
and that ain't gonna be easy.USC and U C. L A are
going to the Big Ten as wellas Oregon in Washington, Oregon. That's
what I'm thinking of. Yeah,Oregon stuff put up on Dan Lanning was
at that point, whether you likeit, I mean I know what Dan
wants to win, but I canunderstand the Dan Lanning dig and he was
right. Last year they beat aTCU team at that time wasn't very good

(02:42:54):
from the year before, and theythey gave some people game because they have
an explosive team speed offense, there'snot physical enough to compete at a championship
level. Meaning they're big boys andthey know they got to get bigger.
Deon knows that too, And Idon't mind a little banter and gamesmanship.
But everybody got Dion who you know, they do some outlandish and all the

(02:43:16):
videos that he tapes in his meetingrooms and the rest of that, that
was okay. But when somebody elsejumped in and gave a taste to the
owned medicine, people were mad atDan Lanning. I thought Dan Lanning,
that was good gamesmanship. And youknow what Oregon and Colorado in the situation.
Oregon throughout the season got the bestof the season. But I'm not

(02:43:39):
judging the Colorado's football team until thisyear. If they go four and eight
again, or three and nine orone of those type of things, then
we'll start to say what impact arethey actually making at Colorado that's what you're
going to start to ask, well, this should do better. I think
the Big twelve is not as strongas well. If it was a Big
ten, they would be a look, they'd finish in the bottom two or
three teams. If if Colorado wasgoing there, they wouldn't be physical enough

(02:44:01):
to handle it. Their their styleof football is going to bode better for
the Big twelve because they got perimeterspeed and a great quarterback and a talented
you know, they can play andrun and Dion, you know, Dion
knows what they got to fix,regardless of the clicks or wins. But
I still don't subscribe. I don'tapproach it the way they do when it
comes to but you don't have to. If he's thinking outside the box.

(02:44:22):
If outside the box thinking doesn't work, guess what's going to happen. He'll
be out of a job in twoyears. Right, The wins are going
to have to come. It's juststill premature. At least we're talking about
Colorado and guess what we've never donein the last decade, talked about Colorado
Bingo. Yeah, there's no questionhe's done that for him. They open
up the season against North Dakota Statedon't. But be careful now, I

(02:44:43):
know I would be careful to thinkthat that's a that's a that's a that's
a cupcake game. I'd be carefulbecause that program program, they're good every
year. Damn right. They arehome of Carson Wentz. Baby. And
you know who else played North Coasteight? Go ahead, big play tray

(02:45:07):
Trey Lance sure did after Wendcy.Right there, you go play a year
still wait for his chance and COVIDgotten away his What didn't COVID getting away
his last season or what have you? Versus junior or whatever? But yeah,
we'll see. But North Dakota State'sno slouch, I assure you.
And you know who is a slouch, Oh, big, big, big
bad Leroy Brown. No, dude, you know what you got brain fog.

(02:45:31):
You need to get to brain fag. You got to get you.
Yeah, your minds starting to goa little wild, your energy on.
Now, I'm not going to questionyour energy on bad bad le or bank.
You got energy, it's just misguided, right, But I have energy
because I do go to minds justlike you do. Damn right. Non
invasive, Draw a little blood,find out where your testosterone is and get

(02:45:52):

it. Hey, we were talkingabout the Big twelve. Uh and Dion
Sanders schaud or Sanders getting in theback and forth on Twitter. You of
h making some headway yesterday remember lastyear they had some powder blue uniforms in

(02:48:56):
the NFL sent the university using acease and desist. Yeah, see it's
just season desist what University of Houstonsays they intend to wear their powder blue
uniforms in the future. They're notsure if it will be next season or

(02:49:16):
The NFL sent You of h aceason desist order last season to stop wearing

know I should he said we should, and say, oh, you know

(02:50:22):
what, did he just give mean ultimatum? I don't play well.
I don't. I don't do dowell with those either. Speaking of the
NFL, Roger Goodell, was hedrunk at the NFL draft last week?
Nobody had no time and you mighthave kept going back there. I read
a thing yesterday pretty interesting. Apparentlyhe's got a pretty bad back injury or

(02:50:43):
he just had back surgery, somethingalong those lines. Well, and he
had a couple of you know,a couple of pop down. Maybe you
mix those together, you row.It's like Roger Goodell back in a couple
of years ago, I think intwenty twenty, when he was announcing the
World Series winners of that little MickeyMouse season the Dodgers, and he was

(02:51:07):
the major baseball It was his jamps, your Dodgers. Yeah, I don't.
People try to say, no,he wasn't drunk. He was just
excited. Okay, I decided anddrunk, I don't for one second.
For one second, and I'm notsaying we're joke is suggestion, but you
know what any of us have beenthrough surgery? Oh yeah, and you
need that. And to get throughthat night you have to man have to

(02:51:30):
pop a little painting and all ofa sudden, little so little you know,
a little mixer is a okay,let me get through. So hey,
who has it slurred to word?Or one of the one of the
big linemen that got drafted lifted himup. Oh hug, and he just
had back surgery. So yes,in coming from it was and it was
a it was like lifting it.But he was excited minute with love because
that's like the big fellows do thatevery year to right to Goodell. But

(02:51:54):
coming out of backtory, maybe hedidn't even think about it. It's like,
let me pop back there and getme doubled out on the purpose a
little and a little VOD because alittle VOD could chase her with it?
Right, what's it like? Iwill get you through the draft. What's
it like when a big dude picksyou up? Well from my say,
he's hugging me for success and lovesme for you. You you're used to
him coming up from behind, SoI don't know. Why don't you tell

(02:52:16):
us? I can't okay what he'sstrong, argy from behind and you have
nothing to do. But you havenothing to do but not talking my private
life on that? Well you asked, So I was asking because you're used
to guys up and give me abig hug face say, hey, nice
throw not a bottom bitch though,well bottom or behind there's you know whatever.
But when your guy comes and picksyou up some strong arden and says,

(02:52:39):
bitch, you just sit there.Okay, you take the hug,
You take this hug. Okay,triple you want to weigh in on this
conversation. Hey, he doesn't gotthat, man, Yeah, yes he

(02:54:05):

Man. You guys. You guysshould try out for American Idol. Thank
you. I appreciate it. JainSo. During the draft, I had

(02:54:26):
a buddy of mine. We keptasking each other if Roger Goodell was drunk.
Maybe I don't know, maybe justgoing throughout the night, like you
get a little tired or I don'tknow, or it's a little repentitive,
so you kind of just got tiredof doing it. But uh, I
didn't know he had back surgery,and so that kind of makes sense,
especially if you're standing up all night. Maybe he nixed some of his his

(02:54:48):
pain pills with a with his alcoholand had a little Cosby cocktail. I
don't know, but who what Iwant to know, And I actually did
research trying to find out, butI couldn't. Is I think the highlight
of the draft was Jamal Charles andlike, so okay, hold on,
you know he he suffers, hegrew up suffering from like speech impediments and

(02:55:11):
and struggling. I didn't even seeJamal Charles. I didn't see that.
It wasn't watch fifteen. Yeah,so he grew up with with like he
wasn't illiterate, but he he hadhad speech impediment type issues. Have to
see a speech therapist something something likethat. This is the first time I've
even heard because I did not seeJamal Charles at the draft. Well the

(02:55:35):
way he you know, like okay, I mean, now let me take
my foot out of my mouth.But still no, he no, he
had he had a learning disability growingup, and he like actually supports a
charitable organization. Because when I firstsaw him speak, I was like,
oh my gosh, what is wrong? And then I just I dug a
little bit more into it, andI felt like an ass because I didn't
know about it. But yes,he had a learning disability growing up and

(02:55:56):
for you, and this is actuallyactually first I've heard of it. He
actually competed in the Special Olympics atthe age of ten. I did know
that he had that he did hethe speech situation, but I didn't know
what happened on because you know,when you're here in Texas and you watched
it and Kansas City Chiefs and allthat, but Memorial I watch him in
high school because they were in ourdistrict. But I had no idea what

(02:56:16):
you two are talking about. Sofirst I've heard about what happened at the
draft. I had no idea.So how so you're telling me, like,
so, I mean, how doeshe get into the University of Texas,
Like that's if if he can't.I mean, he would say what
did he say, like the thesixty three draft and Sam Francis Sama cists.
He couldn't say San Francisco, couldn'tsay Kansas City, and he wouldn't

(02:56:39):
say sixty third. He kept sayingsixty three. And so I'm just curious
if you're I understand he's very talented, but how do you get into the
University of Texas if well, Imean, well football. No, here's
another thing though, and I andand Will thanks for the call, brother,
appreciate you letting us. Like Isaid, I have not heard this
part. But I also just becausesomebody may have. You know, I

(02:57:05):
can't speak as well or put wordsyou know, under the whether it's under
pressure in front of public or what. But still put it on paper,
you still take testing, You stillGeorge Springer, he's got a startering issue.
He got into the University of Connecticut. Maybe along the way, you
know, he was able to havesome with tutorials or you know, being

(02:57:26):
tutored and stuff and get through it. I don't know how, but I'm
not going to judge his academic standardson the fact that maybe in public it
comes out worse, right, whenyou're speaking in front of somebody. Now,
think about the guts it takes tocome out. What do you do?
Give pick? A draft pick?Is that what he is? Okay?
So to come out and do that, he sures he'd have to have

(02:57:46):
a lot of confidence, if youknow, it's a struggle to get through,
right. So but I did not. I mean I heard his background
growing up and when he was playing, but I did not know he presented
a pick or that, which whichmakes me want to pat him on the
back even more that he went outthere and did it right. Yeah,
but I didn't hear what you andWill are talking about. So I didn't.
But going back to Roger Goodell andinjured and that maybe this is what

(02:58:09):
may maybe we needed to broadcast whenhe got the hug. He's coming off
back surgery, and maybe this iswhat happened with Roger Goodell. Yeah,
he's bear chested and banging his chest. Now he runs the opposite way.
He runs with the fifty, heruns with the forty. The guy is
drunk. There we goes bear chested, banging chest. But you know what

(02:58:33):
if you had back surgery and youhad to make that walk and stand up,
would you perk it up a littlebit with a baby or little touch
of whiskey. The first couple ofdays after my back surgery back in October,
I was in that big ass backbrace and the cocktails of pain medication
that I had to be on justto get through the day. Oh it's

(02:58:54):
brutal. Oh my god, andall the surgery that I've been there,
And it's like, you get tothe point where you're saying, we'll be
before the painkicks in? Can Igrab another one? I'm not making making
fun of a dictionary think. I'mjust talking about when you go through surgery.
Hell, you start to like thepain's excruciating, Let me grab another
one, and you know, thenthe thing called gummies comes along. Do
you know who the NFL's all timecareer leader in yards per carry is?

(02:59:20):
He is Jamal Charles. Yes,five point four yards of carry, breakaway
better than Jim Brown and Barry Sanders. And Jamal Charles was at his when
he was at the in the primeof his career. That was what that
That's the perfect label of a truehome run hitter. We played Port Arthur
Memorial my sophomore year of high schooltwo thousand and five Fall of four,

(02:59:41):
Spring of five. I vividly rememberPort Arthur Memorial coming to our stadium at
Leonard George Stadium, and I rememberhearing about Jamal Charles Ah Texas was looking
at him. They're going to offerhim or he was already going there,
I can't remember. And for thefirst like first quarter and a half,
we stuffed him. He couldn't doanything, and then he broke like a

(03:00:03):
ninety five yard run off of us, and I vividly remember seeing, damn,
that dude is so damn fast.Yeah, but we were the only
team that season to hold him tounder one hundred yards rushing. Sold to
one hundred and one of the runswith ninety two yards, and he didn't
do anything for the rest of thegame. And that's a that that's a
that's a lot of good work,because that guy is a phenomenal player.

(03:00:24):
I think he I think he endedthe game with ninety eight yards rushing.
We're the only team that year theybeat us, but we're the only team
that was able to hold him tounder one hundred yards rushing. A frigging
player he was, Yeah, whata player. It was unbelievable watching that
dude play Yeah it show today.Good stuff, Yeah right stuff guys,
