(00:02):
Saulsbray, Oh, okay, let'sdo this. Sean Salisbury, The USC
Truths, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Bryan Lima, go Lobos. This
is the Sewan Salsbury Show. KevinDurand fires his head coach, Lebron fires

(00:24):
his head coaches Players League, Seanhow many? Good morning? By the
way, fellas, good morning.Why are you laughing? I said,
good morning? Why? It's Friday, my favorite day of the week.
I love Fridays. When you getoff at ten o'clock feels like it's a
three day weekend. Dude, Idon't get off at ten o'clock. You're
a ass. I don't I workall day every day twenty four seven,
three sixty five. Do you considera nap and laying with your dogs and

(00:45):
eating breakfast every morning a nap?I mean a work. I don't know
why you gotta throw me under thebus because I take tripley takes naps too,
right dog? Tell him not seehe said? Tell him what he
says? You guys, I meanyour naps aren't like twenty minute power and
apps. I mean you're you're you'reyour way to throw it down for like
four hours. I will rattle offa four hour an app every now and

(01:06):
then. So when you get offat ten, like I said, I
know, post gave post show prep, I know, right, like you
know, go back and relisten intothe four hour show and we all yeah,
right right, exactly, you gotto review the of course you got.
Hey, tape ben't lie, No, it sure doesn't. All right,
So sometimes it might, but tapedoesn't lie. It could, but
it doesn't. So Fridays it's threeday weekend. Basically, it's what it

(01:30):
is, and I appreciate it.Yeah, what was the point of this?
Uh? You were Kevin Durant?Yeah, when's the last time outside
the shortened season, Lebron won championship? H he hasn't. Did you see
how many coaches he said? Didhe where he's been on a roster?
They've been fired? He has liketen, isn't it? I think it's
double digits. Yeah, I'm prettysure it's ten. And I'm not sure
that any of the ten were nothim making sure it happened. Durant did

(01:57):
Durant when he wasn't Golden State.How many titles has he won? Uh?
He hasn't won any so and hedidn't win one in New York,
in Brooklyn? Did he win onein Phoenix? No? Oklahoma City?
No? Okay, I'm just kidding. He's a hell of a player.
But I almost feel and how manynon super teams as Lebron won a championship

(02:22):
on the Ones in shortened season,Uh? None? Zero. People are
saying, don't don't be like that. Lebron's a hell of a player,
you know, and so it's right, but but there they're still put it
this way. There's got to beif you don't think there's some question marks
surrounding them, if the coach,it's crazy because they'll pine for the coach
and then turn around and get thecoach fired. I think Eric Spolsh is
the only one that didn't get firedbecause pat Riley pat Ridley didn't let Lebron

(02:45):
run the show. Pat Riley unequivocallyran the show and still does so.
I mean, remember, didn't theydidn't. Durant and the whole group want
Steve Nash, Yes, and theyturn around, No, he's not good
enough for us. It wasn't uhLebron on board with Darvin Ham. He

(03:05):
was gone, gone after two seasons. That it just wasn't. Frank Vogel
there before he was was Lebron there, he had Luke Walton, he had
Frank Vogel, he had Darvin Ham. So in La alone, he's he's
basically at the forefront of three ofthem. I know Tyrone Low was with
Cleveland, so not a big deal. But there's no more player empowerment th

(03:30):
anywhere in the NBA. If acoach, if a superstar wants to coach
out, the coach is gone,yes it make make no mistake about it.
And that to me, well,look what happened in Milwaukee. Didn't
you honest want his coach out?He did because of the practice court and
the rest of it. Yeah,in the middle of brothers and they were
off to like a thirty something andtwo starters ran out right. So stars

(03:54):
have a lot of say and ifyou want my opinion, way too much,
way too much. So went indoubt, blame the coach. That's
what I do. That's it.I mean that that that's at least that's
what they're telling me some of thestars that you should do. Just hey,
when you don't get, when youdon't get where you want to go
because you didn't carry them like,well, that's why you brought you there.

(04:15):
The first thing you should do justblame the coach. That's it.
I mean, it's a good andthat's not because hey, I confess it's
the coach's fault. But I digress. I'll hang up and get your take
back to three day weeks. WorldSeries back on. Ah. So now
they're back, Call the new mayor, tell them to block off Louisiana Street

(04:42):
early November, Louisiana or Louisiana,Louisiana, Louisiana World Series back on.
So one game, yes, andI know you watch every watched every pitch.
By the way, I want toplay golf, dude. Eighteen holes
the course was open because it wassmuggy. Eighteen holes called muggy. You
know it was smuggy. Yeah,muggy and hazy, right exactly. I

(05:06):
uh awful two hours and fifteen minutes, hot as hell out there yesterday.
I didn't once I got through thewhole two the threesome put me not a
threesome on the course, but thethree gentlemen a wild Yeah, I'd be
pretty cool, of course. Yeah, exactly, that one I enjoyed.
Yeah, they let me play through. You know you got a fire one

(05:26):
on a part three, hit itup on a green put out and get
to the next one ahead of them. You can't miss when the group says
come on through and you're playing alone. You cannot stand at the tea while
they're waiting on you from the back. Tias, by the way, I
just wanted to throw that all you'replaying. Oh yeah, they play them
every day at my course. Andand and you can't like snappy tommet,
Nope, you can't chili dip ityou got when they're they're sitting there watching

(05:47):
it. You got to throw itat the flagstad you have to, And
and fortunately I did because I wassitting there thinking, Sean, do not
you who watch you? I don'thave a problem usually bring because I usually
focus more and so it's better.But you're thinking they're letting you play through.
Then they're gonna say, oh,you're at the back tease. And
if you hit a bad shots likedude, move up to the whites right,

(06:08):
you're not supposed to be back here. So hit a good shot,
went play. But that's how it'ssupposed to be played to. I didn't
see another person on the course forsixteen holes, really, and that doesn't
Normally it's hit and wait, there'ssomebody in the fairway. There's somebody hit
the flagstick, you know, andyou got to wait for them to hit.
So uh. And then I gothome, so I was able to
do that and watch the entire gameyesterday. And we wanted a four to

(06:30):
three victory. We said it yesterday. I want I didn't want a fifteen
to two victory, because anybody canplay. I want to see how they
did when there's a little adversity facethem. Could they pull it out?
They did? Presley was roughed up. Yeah, I don't think he faced
a batter where it didn't start outto and zero. I think he got
behind. He got yeah, hegot behind in every hitter. Judge's ball
just landed. Yes, sure did. And but to hater come in and

(06:51):
get you what four outs? AndBraid did the same thing. He looked
like the old Brian Abraid. Braggot a couple hits the you know,
up off the facing of the thirddeck for Singleton, we'll call big genre
on here. Yeah, you know, Jordan got in got him some.

(07:11):
I just they played some pretty gooddefense. I mean they went through it
all. You know, they gotdoubled off paining you steal in second,
gets doubled off first on a ona like a freakish type of play,
and it almost beat it back.I mean, so there was the ups
and downs and ebbs and flows ofa baseball game that they haven't handled well
this year, especially after. Imean, when you hit, when it
hit the seventh inning and Judge goestank set four to seventy three. Weren't

(07:34):
you thinking here we go again,exactly what I was saying, And they
apparently weren't, which is a whichis a great thing. And it was
I like those kind of wins becausethey had to gut it out. Even
Hater comes and gives up a basehit, I mean, and then you
had to pitch your way out ofit, and he did after, you
know, in between a bray youand hater. Presley was roughed up.

(07:58):
I don't know what it is,but he looked yes today, like there
was a well he had no commandand you know what, it's been a
minute since he pitched. Maybe thatwas it. Maybe he needs to get
a little more work in because helooked rusty. But they did some good
things, got some clutch hits andobviously with the two home runs with Singleton
and Jordan got him going. Reallynovel concept. You take the three to

(08:18):
one or score for you know,you score four runs early. But the
Yankees hung in there and they wona good game on the road that they
needed. And that's their second onerun win, and after the sixth inning
they didn't lose the game. Eventhough it got closer, they were able
to gut it out. That's whothe Astros have been coming into this year.

(08:39):
Who knows what's going to happen inDetroit, but I'll take him anywhere
I can get them, and I'msure they will to well. Pitcher rotations
lined up pretty nicely for both teams. Detroits loaded as well. It's gonna
be a hell of a matchup theway they got this going for Detroit,
there's no doubt. Fromber on themound tonight, what's that Christian Hobvier tomorrow

(09:00):
and then Verlander on Sunday and that'sMize for them, right case, Mies
pretty good? Yeah, they gotHe's tonight, I think they got Yeah,
you're throwing three good ones against threegood ones. And you know,
Hinch knows this team, they knowhim and he has a pretty good idea,
had a how they're going to comeat their hitters pitching. But Detroit's

(09:22):
pretty good. I think Detroit's onegame over five hundred, maybe nineteen and
eighteen right now, they are soand I think Minnesota hammered Seattle yesterday if
I'm not mistaken. So this thiswas yesterday was a good win. We've
been more impressive than winning seven tonothing. And by the way, let's
not forget Renewe Blanco did what he'sdone on He's been their ace. You
can count on him every game togive you a little bit more distance and

(09:45):
to keep you in the game,if not with a lead and a chance
to win. Kudos to him fordoing it, and they needed it yesterday.
For Detroit, it's Mize, schoobland Flaherty. They've got their pitching
rotation line up night as well togo against Robert Valdez, Christian Javier and
Justin Verlander. All right, let'sget to break and look a little bit

(10:07):
further in depth to Renel Blanco stafface so far this season for the Astros.
What a bright spot in a prettymuch down season so far here early
in twenty twenty four. That's nextright here on sports Stalk seven toinety.
This is Craig Vigio. You're listeningto Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven nineteen.

(10:31):
You're home with the Stros Texans withrookie mini camp today. Suns fire
their head coach, Frank Vogel inthe NBA Renelle Blanco. Another good outing
from him on the mound. Hehas pitched extremely well this season for the

(10:56):
Astros. He improved moves to fourand all on the season. Yesterday he
was five and two thirds innings,four hits, two earned runs, four
walks, five k's, did giveup a bomb, one hundred and seven
pitches sixty two of those strikes.His era on the season, Sean is
a two point two to three.My goodness, he has pitched extremely well.

(11:18):
You know what it is. He'sthe Brian Abray you of starters from
last year to this year. Heis to the starters to what a braid
you was to his season and relieverslast year. Why before Abrah's last year,
the year before heading into spring training, I remember he was a guy

(11:39):
that you could have moved and youdidn't know what was going to happen.
Elevated his game and became one ofthe elite set up guys in all of
baseball, and then renew Blanco.We saw his potential, but we've never
looked at at Blanco is like he'sgoing to come in and be your ace.
That was That's never been a conversationlike this stuff. It was little

(12:00):
dal Jones up and down. Youalways heard good stuff and then you know
you could he sustain it and becomethat guy. Well he's come in this
year and at a time when theyhave desperately needed it. The guy hasn't
lost yet and he's four and zero. And how many wins they got thirteen?
Yeah, four of their wins havecome from him. They're thirteen and
twenty four. There you go.So he has been fantastic and without him,

(12:26):
who the hell knows what what wouldhappen? That'd be the no hitter
be out Yep, getting there.I mean, he's done some good things
and a lot of credit to himfor commanding, and he's got great command
and confidence and I would imagine itcontinues to grow by day, and this
is unexpected, but at least theconsistency of it. And hell, he's

(12:50):
pitching like an all star and that'swhat I was saying, when you know,
we talked about Bregman's slow starter,when's Jordan going to get rolling in
and all that? And al twovenow has gone into his slump and struggles
and he had a bat at bathorn, yeah, third right, and
that swing on the ball it wasabout four feet outside of terrible outside the

(13:11):
plate. So what he said,these guys like he and pain you will
go through times where they're going throughslumps right now, al two bays going
through his and you know Alvarez brokeout some yesterday swinging the bat. You
saw Regman get two. It's Idon't know if that's full breakout the least,
it's it's start. You got tostart somewhere. And so so with
that you need we've talked about attimes when you're okay, yeah, he's

(13:35):
just a slow starter, that's timesyou gotta say no, no, I
can't keep the slow start going.I got to pick it up. And
so at a time when you know, if Blanco goes and has a few
outings where he's you know, gettingknocked around. Hopefully that won't happen,
but if he does, then whoAnd that's what you've needed him because without
him right now, it'd be it'dbe worse. It'd be a lot worse.

(13:58):
So when somebody go that's what they'vehad a history of this guy struggling,
somebody else pick it up. Lookat the production they're getting from first
base now, considering with the brayyou down in West Palm, John Singleton
getting every day at bats. He'sgot a great eye, and he's supplying
what they haven't had in quite frankly, this was going on two years.
There is power at first base,and now they're they're getting more pop there.

(14:18):
And so it is, and atsome point all of them will have
that run where they're hot, andat some point in time painium may cool
off. I don't think he's goingto hit three thirty or three forty the
whole year. Hell maybe he is, but I don't think we've had I
think, you know, Josh Hamilton, maybe the last guy who hit three
forty or three fifty in a fullseason is any American league? Is he

(14:41):
the last guy for a full season? Not a not a not an abbreviated
one. If not, he's close. He's one of a couple, if
not the only one that's hit.Maybe it's over three fifty or over three
forty five. He hit three fiftynine and twenty ten and I don't think
we've had anybody hit that. Hehit three fifty or three f eighteen nine
sets. He played in one hundredand thirty three games that season. So

(15:03):
it is, I mean, it'sit's pretty impressive. I mean, they're
they're getting They needed a couple otherguys to step up yesterday, thy god,
but Renelle Blanco has been the MVPof the pitching staff so far,
and quite frankly, it's not evenclose. Yeah, no, it's not
at all. My man is fourand oh yep through a no hitter,
and he pitches well every every outing, he's gotten into the sixth inning.

(15:28):
He's doing what they know they've needed, and he's picked it up. And
that's why those hitters that knowing thatmaybe all two Bay struggling, it's time
for Bregman now say let me letme jump up and get you, let
me get on a ten game hittingstreak roll and get this thing going to
until you get back to your normalself and the way you've started. So
it's important and Blanco's provided that tohere for the pitching staff. Yeah,
and speaking of some of the guysthat have been struggling you were on.

(15:52):
Alvarez was two for five yesterday withtwo runs scored an RBI on that solo
blast. You have Jeremy payntinuing toswing it well. He was two for
three with a walk in an RBI. John Singleton obviously hit the mammoth home
run. Alex Bregman finally putting togethera couple of hits in that ball game.
Yanire Diez struggling here a little bitlate, got a hit. Joey

(16:14):
Loperfido. Who Joey Loperfido two hitson the stole his first It was five
or five and triple a. Hestole one yesterday. That's gonna be flo
Perffeedo's first stolen base of his majorleague career. Salz, Joey Loperfido Loberfido
was two for three. You callhim Lopo. No, his name is

(16:37):
Lope. That's what he said.And I don't like it. I just
don't like it. Why not?I just I think it's and I think
Lopo. I think calling yourself Lopesucks. His buddy's calling that though.
Screw his buddies. Yeah, Iforget buddy buddies, dob kidding if that's
what they call him. If athey can call him Clay, I call

(16:59):
him Clay. Did you ever comingto America the barbershops? I haven't seen
that. So I've seen it.I just haven't seen it in so long.
Hey, if I'm a call himClay. So if they're gonna call
him Lope, I'm a call mlpe. Okay, you gotta skip? What
is what's wrong? What the hellhappened to you? What do you mean
I've seen it though? Oh youhaven't? Yes, I have. We
used to watch it religiously coming toAmerica. Yeah, we was watching when

(17:21):
I was like fifth sixth grade,Me and Brian Smith. You met Smittye
played golf this Yeah, that's howI watched A solid ball striker from the
left hand side. We used towatch that all the time. He's the
Mike Weir of ball strikers. Ohokay, Mike Weir, Yeah, one
open and Oneed Augusta. Yeah,I want a masters. Let me get
back to your So, if youwatched it religiously, you don't remember when

(17:41):
I was like nine and ten yearsold, is what I say? Do
you remember hitting home run in ninewhen you were nine in the league.
No, I didn't hit my firsthome run until I was twelve, So
you were the scrawny kid with nopower. Correct. Okay, nice way
to develop I was. Okay,do you remember do you ever remember the
name of any of your buddies onthe team. Uh? Yeah, they're
all still my best friends. Okay. So how many times you've seen Coming
to America when you grow up?Ten? Twenty? Probably twice twice.

(18:03):
Yeah, for a guy who quotesall these movies, Yeah, I mean
with the ones you've watched, you'llthrow a quote out. Huh, you
don't remember the barbershop scene his friendscall and Clay cam Clay is that our
hall? Uh? It's either himor Eddie Murphy that they're like impersonating.
What do you mean you don't remember? I know, but I remember the
barber because Eddie Murphy did like eighteendifferent people in the in the bar see.
Oh that's right he did. Yeah, yeah, okay, that's I

(18:26):
think it was probably uh Eddie Murphywho did that, So you know what
recognize? Yeah, I'm just checking. With a lot of strays coming your
way, this one fine man,that's fine. Little leaguers to your best.
That's a good thing. A lotof your homeboys, Ye see,
that's what you're fortunate about living inthe same place you're you're growing up and
staying for me, you know,like Arizona. All my little league buddies

(18:48):
that I still stay in touch witha handful of them, but I don't
get to see him as much,right or then moving to Escondido and then
traveling around, so you got themall over, which is a good thing
too, But your buddies, youstill like this. I can't go like
Chris says, my buddy, mybest friend was growing up, I can't.
I gotta go to Arizona or he'sgot to come here for me to
go have a cold one with himinstead of just like you get to say,
drive down the street and see her, which is a cool thing,

(19:10):
man, I'd say a good majorityof well take that for granted. They're
all relatively still and he's we goton. One of our buddies is up
in Dallas now. He's running thequarterback ranch up there. So he's a
good job. Yeah, he's actuallythe owner now, right, Yeah,
so nice GM. Yeah he's FrankFrank. Yeah, he got promoted way
way up the chain. I believehe's just I believe he's the owner now
ran, Yeah, make it changinglives, making difference for kids. I

(19:33):
like it. Yeah, Quarterback Ranchup in Dallas shout out. Yeah,
man, we uh, we're allpretty local. That's a good thing.
The two eight one and I doup from the six to one nine?
Are you? Yeah? You knowwho else from the six one nine?
Ray Masterio Junior? Uh? Andyou ever heard a guy named Reggie Bush
and Tony Banks boo Marcus Allen.No, but I've heard of Sean Salisbury,

(19:55):
Alex Smith, who Ted Williams,Ted Williams, Tony Gwenn. I
mean, could you imagine Ted Williamsface and pitching today? Dude, he
he would piss down his leg.He'd be scared, right, Yeah,
sure he would. Yeah, swingit. What did he swing? Like
a thirty ounce bat? Yeah?Yeah, because I'm sure he wouldn't be
able to catch up. Because I'msure I'm sure none of those pitches that

(20:17):
did. Ted Williams had a milehour. He kid a hundred mile hour
fastball right down there, you knowwhat, with his eyes closed, save
it. Doubt it can't hit wherehe frozen, he'd only have to face
him once because they give you threeinnings and go sit down, good point.
Unlike the old guys where they'd spit. They'd go one hundred and fifty
pitches and go twelve innings. He'llstill be pitching, and that pitched two
days later, you're right, yeah, or Wilbur would giving you a start

(20:38):
in both ends of a double header. For that's okay? Well, frozen
at who probably somewhere in Boston,maybe San Diego where he's from. Hoover

(26:15):
Hees that they have a tough timehandling that slider, and he executed some
good change ups. He's mixed today. What's that cellent? Yeah, I'm
a little upset with manager Joe spotA after hearing that. You know why
why it's called a slide piece.It's called a change piece. You can't
call it a slider. Yeah,what do you like to call it change
piece? Do you? The leagueis aware of his change piece? Is

(26:36):
what I would have said, changeup, But no doubt there's a piece
at the end of slide correct,like the Joe Morgan special man. What
about your slide piece? Yeah?Remember when John Miller and Joe Morgan used
to do something new that was thebest, and sure was. And you
know what he threw slide piece.Yeah yeah, Joe used to call it
a slide piece. I love that. Yeah. And uh, Renel Blanco

(26:57):
does lean heavily on his chain andhe's good at it, and yet the
league may know about it and theystill can't hit it. You throw it
to rioties, throw at the lefties, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
because when you throw it to alefty, you know what it does,
falls off the table. Nothing.There's nothing like a nice uh table
to fall off of yeah, alittle little change up piece or their table.

(27:18):
It just falls off the table.Literally, you said it there,
And that's what they do. Theyput a table in front of home plate
and it falls off it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, they
do. I know, you feelme, Hickory, Yep. They got
Renel Blanco from a car wash inthe Dominican Republic. He is now four
and oh wicking at the car wash. Yeah, whoa whoa corp wash?

(27:40):
Yeah oh yeah, And you knowwhat he did. He walked right out
of the car wash and he's nowthrowing BB's at the plate. BB's yeah,
trying to hit a BB no good. I mean, like with anything
with a bat. You couldn't hita BB with a bat if it's going
ninety plus or one's falling off thetable or you're throwing up a slide piece.
Do you know, I'd be damnnear damn near physically impossible to hit

(28:03):
a bbe coming at you at ninetyfive? Right, Well, did he
throw no hitter? He didn't looklike a BB to the hitter, but
he threw a baseball. Well he'sthrowing BB's okay. Then why are we
saying hitting rockets? Can you imaginetrying to hit a rocket? What about
a tank? Yeah? Upper tank. I don't see a tank out there
as he stands right, Okay,there you go. And if his name
was King Tuck in real life,shouldn't he be wearing a crown? You

(28:26):
should? Okay, so you've gothey look his section down right field.
They wear crowns every now and then. Well you know what they say out
there, like back when they hadKykeele's corner, when Dallas Kaikele was pitching
here, they all used to wearthe big beards out and left. Yeah,
up the third baseline that section,well, you don't want him if
they're in the seats. You don'twant in the left field seats. You
don't want that to be Kaykee's cornerbecause that means people are gonna deposit.

(28:47):
But you don't want people depositing baseballsthere. You want that ball like he
did, keep it on the ground. Mow him down, kid kaiki what
happens? If you really mow himdown, you'll kill him. You can't
mow people down. You can't.Hey, he's mowing down. You can't
mow him down because if you mowhim down, they're dead. That is
true. Said, yeah, youreally can't do there you go. Yeah.
But in all seriousness, Renelle Blancohas been unbelievable this year, and

(29:11):
questions he thirty, he's got thirtybetween. I thought either thirty or thirty
one? Maybe is he? Idon't know thirty he's getting. I think
he's at the trifecta now, tripledigits. He's thirty. Yeah, he'll
be a thirty one in August.Good for him, they said, you
know what, it's never too lateto be great man, And good for

(29:32):
him. He's doing a phenomenal jobfor him this year. I think it
was last year, like one ofthe first was it last Yeah, last
spring training, Dana Brown was onthe broadcast and one of the first things
he said was, man, weneed to get Renel Blanco stretched out.
He's going to be a starter.Well, there you go, and here
he is. He wanted more yinerDias, he got him, and he

(29:56):
wants more Ronel Blanco, and Blanco'sanswering that bell is well, it's pretty
impressive. Five and two thirds,four hits, two earned runs, five
k's, four walks. Rene Blancouh finds himself at four he could be
one of the best pitchers in baseball. One of a great story as well.
He's not just a great story that'soh what a you know, it's

(30:17):
novel and it's nice since temper andno, he's the story is great.
But the pitch he's even his match, and you know he thinks, what
a great story. How's the pitcher? Well, he's been pretty damn good
and continues to elevate. I dothink that this team has to cut down
on walks. So it does.There's no question they got to cut down
a walk. Pre passes get youin trouble, and if they you know,

(30:38):
imagine that there was a guy onyou know, two or three,
you know a couple of guys onbase. When Aaron Judge came to play,
the whole game changes, so gotto cut down on those walks.
Let's see, he's been really goodman, Tyler Glass. Now he's just
a casual six and one Rangers Sworezfor the Phillies, he's six and oh
Chris Sale, how about Chris Salefor the Braves five and one? Seth

(31:00):
Lugo for Kansas City, he's fiveand one. Dylan sees his pitch extremely
well for the Padres at five andtwo, Man, how about Chris Sales?
Come? How about Chris Sales rejuvenation. Yeah, it's been impressible until
he breaks again. Well come on, now, don't put that on I'm
not trying to put it on it, but it's just it happens, It
does, wepens. He may builtlike glass, just like Lance mccullors junior.

(31:22):
We know that maybe maybe this ishis year. I hope the hell
of us start though, isn't it. Another dude that's pitching extremely well.
Is a guy that the Ashers aregonna face, and that's Tarik Scooble.
Yes, he's four and oh witha one point ninety r E. He's
gonna do everything he can to schooballdive in the series, Baldello, somehow

(31:45):
I knew you know, Yeah,no, I knew something about it.
Schoobl Yeah, school ball, yeah, schoobl school yeah yeah, school right.
Yeah, he's uh, he's pitchingpretty well. Yeah, they got
a good They've got a good rotationas well, hence why they're of game
over five hundred. But there theformidable team that aj Hinch has got.
They're getting better. Yeah, theyit is, Yeah, it should be.

(32:07):
Should be a pretty damn good one. Hopefully the Astros can take two
out of three, but they're gonnabe facing some stiff competition in the pitchers
for the Detroit Tigers. All Right. One of the issues that the Astros
have had so far this season isrunners in scoring position. How did they
fare yesterday in that win. Let'slook at that next right here on Sports

(33:58):
Thank you from the management team hereat Sports Talk seven nineteen. Back
to Shaan Salisbury from er Valde isgonna be on the mound and the Texans
have rookie mini camp today. TheSuns fire their head coach. Frank Vogel
in the NBA seven one three twoone two five seven ninety talking about the
Astros win David. Good morning,Hey, good morning, guys. What

(34:22):
a great Friday. We are soback baby, here we go. World
Series Parade. Back on, David, I'll be there maybe. Hey,
two things, I was impressed yesterday, and I may have missed it earlier
in the year. But a Spada, you know, brought in both a
bray you and then later Hater toget him out and the h I guess
the sixth for a bray you andthen left him in for four outs.

(34:45):
And same with Hater because obviously Presleyhad some control issues. I don't know
if that I don't remember that happeningin any other game this year. I'm
sure maybe it did. I missedit but I think that's a pretty rare
thing. But when one of thoseguys doesn't have it, it's time to
get him out. And the lastthing is the top of the second inning.
How rare is it to get adouble, a single, a single

(35:06):
and not score a run and nobodyget thrown out on base? You got
to get crazy, crazy odds atDraftKings or are Vegas on that thing right
there. I don't know if that'sever happened, but that was kind of
weird. But that's pretty typical ofhow our season's gone, I think.
So luckily it didn't bite this inthe butt lot more runners on base,
but that's the way it goes.Thank you guys, appreciate it, David,
enjoy your weekend. Yeah, andthat goes right into what a tease

(35:29):
for the last segment, Sean Astrosyesterday? Runners in scoring position? Can
you guess what they were? Let'ssee, Well, your lins was a
solo blast? Was Singleton's a tworun job? It was run job?
So one? What was on firstbase? Second base? Well, where

(35:51):
was the player when you hit it? Runners in scoring position or left on
base? No? Runners in scoringpositions? Okay, I'm gonna say they
were how about two Singleton his homerun, it was not in score positions.
Okay, so then let's go onefor twelve, close, three for

(36:12):
twelve. Peny was one for one, Al two ve one for two,
and then low Perfido one for one, three for twelve. They left on
eight men and still were able tofind a way to win. There's a
couple of Indian and I'm not tryingto be super negative, but damn it,
man, these things, these situationsare so frustrating. I mean,
you got it. You got aguy a third base less than two outs,

(36:37):
just late in the game. Anotherrun would have been huge. And
Al two Bay swings at a balllike eight feet off the plate. Down.
Yeah, that was. That wasThat was about as bad as bad
as you'll see when it comes toit wasn't only night it was closer to
first base than it was the catcher. I'm kidding, but you get my
point. It was it was nowherenear it. I mean, not even
close. Man. I love hisaggressiveness. That was just he got caught

(37:00):
in between. It wasn't it wasIt was a bat at bat, but
happens, and I trust that he'llcome out of that. He's struggling a
little bit lately. I mean you'vegot like, in the second inning,
Diaz doubles low per Feudal reaches onan infield single, Dubon flies out.
Al two A singles to left,so base is loaded. Kyle Tucker strikes

(37:22):
out. Al two A flies out, or excuse me, Jordon flies out.
Then you look at the top ofthe third, Paenia singles, Singleton
strikes out, Bregman flies out.Penia's at steal second and then gets to
third, So you got runner atthird, nobody out, Singleton strikes out,

(37:46):
Bregman flies out, Diaz grounds outto the pitcher. I mean,
my goodness, and yet they founda way to win. Yep, and
excuse me, doesn't that isn't thatimportant, not just the win, but
how it happened. They're going tolook at the numbers. Analytics don't always
pay it off. Three for twelveis so he said, yes, three

(38:08):
for twelve. Let them creep backinto it, jumped out in front,
back and forth, did a goodjob. There's a heart of that.
Lineup comes up. You have todeal with Soto who's been raking, and
Judge, who pretty much is Presleywhenever Judge comes to play, Presley should
probably just put him on with fourbecause you're gonna get on anyway, so

(38:28):
don't waste four pitches. It justI thought it was really to me going
in, and I said it onhere yesterday that I didn't I would have
rather seen a four to three winor a three to two win than I
would have a nine to two win, because I think it tested their moxie
and their guts, and I thinkthey need to prove to themselves, not

(38:49):
just forget proven it to us.That's irrelevant right now. They need to
prove to themselves that they can winthose games. That's only two of them
in run one run games this year, and that was an pressive win,
even though it may not have beenpretty the whole way. It showed more
guts than a win that you justjump out and score eight runs in an
Inny and coast all the way through. Actually yesterday Sean, Yeah, Wan

(39:09):
Soto did not have a hit.Yeah, he did walk twice. Yeah,
that's that's a that doesn't happen againstthe Astros this year. When it
comes to Juan Soto, it waszero for two with two walks. Aaron
Judge obviously hit that monster blast forwhat did you say, four than seventy
three feet right, four seventy three. It's tied for the longest home run
in baseball so far the season.Yeah, and the day before Stanton hit

(39:30):
won one nineteen, which is thehardest hit ball in baseball this year.
They've got big knockers, and Imean the players do, right, the
baseball players. Yeah, I'm surethere's a couple of big knocks in the
end stands. Yeah, well maybe. Yeah. Go back and look at
one of the hockey games the othernight that they were showing the coach.
It was uh and the TV highlightswere focused. Go look over the coach's

(39:53):
right shoulder, and you'll forget thatthey were looking at the coach. Tremend.
It was a combine tremend the upperbody store. You're about to say
it, callbine freak. Yeah andso, but yes, for seventy three
and one hundred and nineteen miles anhour back to back days, but four
to seventy three didn't matter. Itstill counts as one. And they took
care of their business. So itwas impressive. I loved yesterday's win.

(40:14):
Matter of fact, one of myfavorites of the year because of the way
they had to win it and thenstave it off, and then Josh Hader
that's why he gets paid the moneyto do what he did yesterday. Finish
it off, love it yep,Josh Hader recorded his fourth save. As
we get into the seven o'clock hour, let's look at the back end of
the bullpen for the Houston Astros.I came in and locked it down,

(40:36):
but Ryan Presley struggled once again.Let's discuss the next right here on the
Shawn Salisbury Show, kdm e's HoustonADHD two Houston, an iHeart radio station.
The Astros, the Rockets, RocketsBest befall your home for your home
teams. This is Sports Talk sevenninety driven by that classic elite to viewing

(40:57):
GMC Studios for the elite car buythe experience. Salbury. Okay, let's
do this. Sean Salisbury to usctruth, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury,
Bryan Lima, go Lobos. Thisis the Sean Salsbury Show. They're head

(41:23):
coach Frank Vogel in the NBA.In that win last night or yesterday afternoon,
I should say, Jordan Alvarez hita home run solo job, and
then John Singleton. John Singleton hita mammoth blast off the side up near

(41:45):
the third deck. These are howthe home run call sounded on the broadcast.
Here's the three to two and Alvarezpunishes one day to right field and
you can't kiss it goodbye, endof the second deck. Alvarez goo steep
his eighth of the year, andit's one nothing. Gastros O, Lord,

(42:07):
I'm doing a great job of spoilinga few pitches waiting him out.
The only mistake he saw that wasone hundred and seventeen miles per hour off
the bat. Pina held on itfirst by Rizzo the one ozero and Singleton
hits this one deep to right fieldand you can't kiss that one goodbye.
Off the facing of the third deckfor Singleton a two run shot and it's

(42:30):
three to nothing. Gastros single tip'sfourth of the year. Astroman had to
raise that pitch because the previous pitchhe didn't get the call, so he's
gonna go a little bit higher,but not that high. Singleton was all
over it, a bomb to rightfield four hundred and forty two feet and
one hundred and fifteen miles an houroff the bat as well. Brian,

(42:52):
tell me you can do what kissI said, and you can guess that
one goodbye. I think John Singleton'sgonna start bat flip and walks that serious
man. He's like, listen,I've been through some tough times. I've
had to work my way back,come back story. I'm gonna back back

(43:15):
flip every bitch thatever I hit wheneverI put the I'm a backflip foul balls
dog. Why I don't hate himfor it? And he's got that swing
and drop technique without any hesitation.It's swing through it all and it's like
a one piece golf takeaway. Itis classic. And you what happened to
give me that call? And it'sa two to one hit deep. You

(43:37):
can kiss that one good body andyou can't kiss that one good that one
good boy. Oh what happened toyou? Man? Robert Ford one of
the best man his energy, nodoubt. I love it. I love
how you. Yeah, what aboutjolly little Braffito. Here's what I want

(44:01):
you to do here. I wantyou, I want you to I want
you to al tuove grounds out.Then you go to low Perfido whatever you
want with him. And then andI want you to do callous and and
Robert Ford, Ford's the callous playby play. Callous is okay, and

(44:23):
Ford's now the analyst on the Singletonhome run. But you got to give
me some the names leading into Okay, pop fly al two a's out,
the low Perfido steals the base.You know, maybe a little Fido gets
on, steals the base. Andthen Robert Ford chips in, is the
analyst. Okay, we got noouts and nobody out. Host the alt

(44:45):
is gonna step into the box,always gonna swing at the first pitch,
he flies out the second base.Typical aggressive, right, He's he's a
little over aggressive at times. Blummer, say, Robert, come into the
place. Now, next up forthe astro's gonna be Joey low Perfedo.
Low Berfedos two for three on thenight. Oh and it's gonna be a

(45:07):
single up the middle. Lowberfeedo reachhis base. I can't do it.
You have to still, you gottasteal second now, low Braffedo with his
first stolen base of his major leaguecareer. Somebody get that baseball. Take
the base. Now, Singleton comesin. What is Todd Callis's home run

(45:29):
call. It's oh it's not Ohmy gosh, what is it. Oh,
well, it's that's a that's aminimate park where he's like, what
number Singleton twenty eight and he says, uh, the twenty eight train has
left Union Station. There you go, hey, then you can get so
give me callous Singleton low Perfito's onsecond and then uh, and then your

(45:50):
boy Robert Ford with with with howhe'd call an EFFUSI analyst. Okay,
god, I can't do it onsecond Lowberfido gets his lead fastball on its
way. Oh I can't. Ican't Singleton deep drive the ride field.
That's gonna be a home run forSingleton. Robert Ford is gonna say something

(46:13):
like, uh, that one's offthe third decad, that one is gone.
That's we got the best broadcast cruise. I love it because your personations
spot on for both of them,and it is that's great flatter because when
you do it, you love loveThey're they're really good the energy and we

(46:36):
were fortunately have good TV and radioteam every every city doesn't have it.

(49:35):
Adan a golf out of yesterday inhis approach shut. He hit his approach
shut. Then he flipped his freakinghis his freaking his wedge, man.
So yeah, no, I did. I threw it. I threw it

a bright light in the You know, God, I don't want to freaking
that nauseam and repeat everything we're talkingabout. I mean, we got freaking

Diaz since he's the catcher, andI think he was talking about Dana Brown,
who was referring to y Diaz.I don't know, do boy,
but he was No, I don'tI've never heard him called doboy. He
looks pretty jacked up to me.I don't know, but but I do
like the the John single catch onbecause I did flip my wedge right into
after I hit it to three feet. Yeah, it was two and a
half feet for a birdie in theoutright league. Look, it's a game

(51:08):
of inches, you know what Imean? You would know. Oh,
I'll talk about baseball. You're you'rewining chips. You know, it's a
game golf. Yeah, and Iwas elevating at the baseball. It is
game inches. Sometimes it rolls out, especially when you got the big new
bases too. Yeah, right,pizza boxes. Sometimes it just falls in,
you know. Another thing about sometimes it hits all the sides and

(51:29):
then falls in. Another thing aboutJohn Singleton. He had a nice scoop
on a on a short hopper.That was a monster play because if he
misses that, another run scores.That was phenomenal, phenomenal play. Yes,
and he got that big dip in, I mean rolling. Singleton's rolling.
Let's go. Yeah. Would youcall him home running ten? Is

(51:52):

how to frame. It's an it'sit's an art, and not everybody is
Pud Rodriguez. And you know aguy in Saint Louis, uh who retired
what's my guy's name, Yeah,the lord of the Molina family of catchers,

(54:40):
and Yachty was great at it.It's a you know, you can't
frame frame and a pitch a footoutside the strike zone probably makes the umpires
we'll look and tap you on theshoulders say, uh yeah that I I
don't he's he's still learning it.And he actually had a he had a
really good season last year defending,pulling people out, and he's now now
the pressure of a full season itsa little different and and uh, and

(55:04):
he'll get better at it. Therewas an art. It definitely is an
art. Is I think it wasMichael who said, Yeah, there was
a thing yesterday or day before acouple of nights ago where a picture was
sent out on Twitter and it caughtfire, and it was a big thread
about jan here Diaz calling for pitchesright down the plate, and then it
was proven that that's not the casebecause the picture that was sent out was

(55:27):
literally him about to receive the baseballright down the middle because the spot was
missed by Arraghetty. He threw threepitches that were missed and that they all
resulted in home runs because they weremiddle middle. And then if you look
at where he set up, hedid want one open in, he wanted
one away, and then I thinkhe wanted one down and in and they
missed a spot, so and itended up in a bad result for the

(55:49):
pitcher. Correct, Yeah, yeah, So I don't agree with the he
sets up right down the middle.I had to. I was talking to
some people on Twitter the other nightabout the same thing, and literally the
picture shows he does not set upright down the middle. So it doesn't
take a catcher of fishionado to knowwhat a dough boy is. I was
just curious on what he meant bydoboy, because isn't fat. Did you
see? Did you see? How? And apparently you're a catcher of ficionado.

(56:12):
I didn't know you caught. Ithought you did center field. I
did in my senior year, butthat was my natural position. I started
off. Yeah, my head coachsaid, with your size in your arm,
you're going to be a catcher.So that's where I started off.
And I'm like, oh gosh,but I mean, you know, scouts
love six five and twenty five poundcatchers. It can hit and have a
good arm. So h but II said, get me out of this

(56:34):
gear. Yeah, and I pitchedwhat I didn't catch, so you imagine
that transformation. And then finally,I finally, when we finally got a
catcher that they were grooming, Icould move to my normal position at that
time, which was center field becauseback then I could run and cover a
lot of ground and uh, Iwould have been in that natural right fielder
more often than not. Right asyou Yeah, but I played right size

(56:55):
and arm arm, that's right.So but if you saw yesterday Yankees that
they were catching they lined up.I mean, he was setting up outside
the strike zone regularly, which makesframing even tougher because now you've got to
frame the glove and there's nothing blockingthe you know, the the umpire's vision,
you know what I'm saying. Soyeah, it just it's a matter

(57:15):
of it. And a lot oftimes when the catcher sets up and the
ball ends up down the middle,we blame it on a catcher, instab
the pitcher for throwing it in aplace that they're not supposed to throw it
unless it's a three to zero count. I just I find it hard to
believe that any professional catcher in Bigleague baseball sets up right down the middle,
and I think the pitcher would probablyrealize unless it's three and you say,
instead of throwing one down the middleand you got to walks at your

(57:36):
first base is open and you needdon't even throw the fourth pitch, just
stick him on first base. I'mnot going to risk the miss. Yeah,
but normally on a three to zerocount, if it's a close game
and you need a strike, especiallyif like you know, there's runners in
scoring position or the bases are packed. This what you're gonna do. That's
why we wonder if you're going toturn a guy loose at three and oh.
Most aren't being turned loose at threeand oh unless you're one of those

(57:57):
guys like an Otani or a Troutor a yord On. When he's going
good, you got to throw arun right down Broadway to get a strike
to at least give yourself a chanceat three to one. Yeah, and
dependent on the situation, some ofthose guys will have green lights. Yes,
that's what I'm saying, depending onwhat who the star is at the
plate. Soto right now is gettinga green light whenever he wants it.
Yeah, you know, so yougot to be and you don't want a

(58:19):
three zero pitch to go right downthe middle where it's like hit a country
mile. And you say, well, I'd rather have him standing on first
than touching home. So there yougo. I'd rather just have one soda
at first. Anyways. Yeah,the way that he punishes Astros pitching,
but he was over yesterday. Youtalk about the next half a million dollar
half a billion dollar player. He'splaying right field for the Yankees. He's
getting it. Yep, he's gonnaget every single dollar of it. Yep,

(58:39):
Leo, welcome in. What's goingon with my brothers? All good?
Uh the uh uh yeah, it'sgood to see the Astros get a
win yesterday. You know, there'sstill things that need to be worked on
or whatever, but it was goodto see him get a win. And
it was good to see Bregman takea ball the other way that was off
the plate, you know. Soyes, that was my favorite hit of

(59:00):
the day for that, other thanthe home runs, to watch him pump
into right center for a line drivebase it agreed, no doubt. Yeah,
and I think that shows his patienceand stuff and and uh you know,
and and of course Alvarez and Singletonjust obliterating a couple of baseball's uh
was was also good to see.There's still again, there's still work that

(59:21):
needs to be done, but youknow, I think they're headed in the
right direction. And uh, youknow with the picks, framing and stuff
like you guys were talking about.Yet, yeah, that's you know,
to move the glove that much.I mean, it's it's gotta be just
subtle movements, not not. Imean if the balls you know, three
inches four inches off the plate,don't bring it all the way back to
the middle of the plate. Imean that's like again, I don't think
the umpires like that. I knowwhen when I played, they didn't like

(59:43):
that at all. So but thethe when your interview with Dana Brown,
that was a really great interview.I think when when when you asked him
about who the guy is that needsto pick this thing up without hesitation,
Dana Brown said Alex Bregman and anduh and I could hear the passion and

(01:00:05):
the confidence in his voice talking aboutthe team. And I think that was
that was very important. And andto me, that tells me that we've
got a GM uh and I thinka front office staff that really cares and
has passion about the product that they'reputting on the field. And and for
me, that goes a long way. Uh. And I know those guys,

(01:00:27):
you know, they're professional baseball players. Those guys are working, man,
they're working the tails of We justdon't see it day to day like
they do. And so you know, Goldstros there's still my team no matter
what. Uh And and uh howabout NHL hockey, Man, it's you
know, I can't wait for ahockey team. Hopefully it gets here because
man, that the stuff I'm seeingright now is it's great. And uh,

(01:00:52):
you know the uh when my wifesays, hey, it's intermission.

a new job and I'm driving twohours to work every every morning, and
listening to y'all goodie goobers has hasreally helped my days moos move. Uh.

(01:04:00):
But other than that, I justwanted to, Uh. I wanted
to double down on what y'all saidabout how we have the greatest announcers.
Uh. I think about it allthe time. I was so happy when
we switched over to the State CityNetwork because I just can't stand some some
of those other out of network announcers. I don't know any of their names
or who they are, but man, I love our guys. And there

(01:04:27):
are two on the radio. Theyare. They're just so good. I
love they're always super detailed. They'revery descriptive. They and they talk about
them players and all their stats andthey're just great. And I want to
I was laughing when y'all were talkingabout their calls on those home runs the
way he and even at Alvarez one, I love it. He uh he

(01:04:48):
comes and he's like Alvaa's one,and it just it made me laugh.
I just wanted to double down onwhat y'all said. I love those guys,
appreciate you and great stuff about thoseguys. They really are. Thank
you for the complimenting. Man towe're driving two hours a day. That's
awesome, thank you for listening.Yeah, two hours one way is what

(01:05:11):
he said. Is two hours oneway, right, Tyler. Yeah,
it's one hundred and eighty miles roundtrip for my day. That's a four
hour that's about it. That's aboutthree and a half hours on the road.
Man. Well, good for goodon you. Be safe on the
drive, brother, Yeah, staysafe out there. Tyler. Appreciate you
listening as well. Thank you.Let's keep it going and talk to Roger
Man. Dude to two hours onthe road, Ooh, buddy, good

(01:05:32):
for him. Man good, that'scalled man. They got a new job.
He's like likes it and after earninga living good for him. I'm
gonna tell you what I hear inour callers' voices today. Look at one
win. Yeah, look what onewin did. There's a little more and
we always got enthusiasm. They're excited, but there's like a I feel like
there's a smile on their voice thatmakes sense time and their face, just
their voice coming through like they're jumping, like they got a little red bull

(01:05:54):
in their system, shot in theirveins. I like it, or a
little Min's tea, either one youfeel me? Dark? Should be min
to you? I feel yeah,there's no doubt. Yeah, should be
should be Min's Tea. Well,you know, you got optimism on the
callers. And then we got atweet earlier from Chris Vaughan saying can we
trade managers Wall in Detroit? Thatuh, that is uh, that's not

(01:06:16):
gonna happen, but I'm sure somepeople here right now did. Miss aj
Hinch would probably subscribe to that.But Joe's only thirty six games in,
so let's let's see how this playsout. Yeah, they got back in
the win. Colum, It's allthat matters, baby, Roger, good
morning, Good morning guys. Yeahthat was a nice win. Ushually,
I think we might have started anice little friendly in house competition with Jordon

(01:06:41):
and Big John Singleton because I sawthem look at Jordon's faith like okay,
okay, big boy, I seewhat you got. So it looks like
there might be a little back andforth with you, and that'd be a
good result for us anytime that happens, right, So hey, I'm all
for it, man. Uh yeah, it's golf day, fellas. I'm
about to leave the shop early,so board up your windows and put your

(01:07:01):
helmets on because I'm about to hitthe golf course. You guys have a
great weekend. Uh you guys showsit shows great, the greatest show on
Earth. And Chipo Lee is aman. Appreciate you. Roger hit him
straight man, throw shake hands onthe flag. Yeah do it? And
you know what, Hey he hitit inside the three foot circle. No
gimmes, but that's as close toyou. You know what. No three

(01:07:24):
putts either, Because I'm thinking thesame thing I was. I had one
wanted to go play this afternoon.Got invited to blue jack with a buddy,
but can't because I got a meeting. So I'm going to try to
go hit balls before my meeting.So I'm with you. I like it.
Go do it and have a blastand enjoy your weekend. Brother,
Thank you, solid ball striker.Good for Big John Singleton. Yeah,

(01:07:45):
in four bombs so far this season, he destroyed that baseball. Yeah,
that ball was tanked. Man.We like to call it a tape measure
job. I mean, think abouthow hard he hit it and judges went
what was his four thirty four fortythree judges No, for seventy three Singletons.
I know what, I don't knowwhat it was. Fourth it was
upper four thirties or low four forties, and Judges went thirty to forty feet

(01:08:08):
by his It's crazy, Yeah,it was. Both of them were smoked.
Well the ball would the hell?I know how they measure were it's
supposed to land. But hitting thefacing of the third deck in Yankee Stadium,
that's a that's a pretty good shot. And when Jordon's like uh wow,
and his eyes got big, youknow, as Rogers said this,
like man, that ball was upthere and Jordon didn't miss his the ball

(01:08:32):
was smoked into the second deck?Is he sure did? There was?
Those big boys were smoking it onboth teams over the weekend. Yeah,
ear during the week this week,that's serious. Jordon's came off the bat
at I think one hundred and fourteenmiles an hour went a buck fifteen.
Yeah, that's what Singleton's was abuck fifteen. Uh. So you know

(01:08:53):
he's put some put together some prettygood at bats here since jose Bray was
going down to West Palm Beach Andjust an update on jose A Bray.
You they don't have a timetable onhis return, so well, I imagine
right now they're not in a hurryand he doesn't have to be no disrespect,
but if a Bray you came back, how can you take him out
of the lineup? Meaning Singleton youcan't. You can't do it. You

(01:09:17):
don't want to create that Singleton's rakeand you're gonna let there's no urgency.
I wouldn't think maybe on a Brave'spart, I don't think the teams are.
They want to make sure and Ibelieve Dana Brown said he was lifted
too many weights. Yeah, that'stoo strong, which means what he lost
flexibility, And there's a difference betweenstrength and explosiveness there just is. I

(01:09:38):
know a lot of guys that arestrong aren't explosive, and there are no
guys that are explosive that are strong. But it's a different it's a different
type. And if that is thecase that he got too strong, then
you know because a couple of weeksbefore we were talking, he said he
still had a bat speed during battingpractice. Well, it's different live than
live live ninety five ninety eight,Yeah, a slider and then coming back

(01:09:59):
and throwing ninety five mile on ourfastball in different spot parts of the plate.
So whatever takes to get flexible andget back. But right now,
even if for Bray you walked intothe dugout, he can you can't.
You can't can't play him, youcan't start him. Singleton's earned that job
for now. Yeah, isn't thatcrazy. A week before he gets sent
down to West Palm Beach, DanaBrown says, oh, yeah, we

(01:10:20):
see the bat speed still there inBP crushing balls. No concern, he's
gonna come out of it. Andthen literally a week later he says,
you listen too many weights. Well, here's the difference. Bat speed is
explosiveness and getting through the hitting zone. Yeah, strength during batting practice,
that's where power comes in. Youdon't have to have explosiveness through the hitting

(01:10:43):
zone during batting practice because the ball'scoming into what's seventy five or eighty if
you have depending Yeah, and soyou're there, there's no bat speed.
It's me. It's not like you'retrying to catch up with ninety eight rising.
It's it's you know where the pitchis coming, so you can barrel
it up. So there is adifferent So Bray, you may be stronger,
but not explosive. So going downthere, try to get some explosiveness

(01:11:04):
and flexibility. But yeah, youbatting practice does an equal bat speed.
What equals bat speed is is whenthe real boys are up there throwing it
in live, live games, right, And that's what he's gonna go try
to develop. Right now, youcan't take Singleton at lineup, No,
you cannot. And he's earned he'searned playing time. Sure has continue to
put good at bats together for Johnsinghrams and hit his fourth home run of

(01:11:27):
the season last night or yesterday afternoon, I should say up in the Bronx
as the Astros won four to three. All right, let's talk about Christian
Aavier. He makes his return andit's a welcome site for the Shrows.
On Sports Talk seven ninety, youcrowdly broadcasting from the most hated city in
baseball. Houston rides with the SewnSalisbury Show on Sports Talk seven ninety.

(01:11:57):
The Astros win, They avoid thatsweep at the hands of the Yankees.
Jordan Alvarez home run, John Singletonhome run, Josh Hater gets to save
Renel Blanco improves the four and ohon the season, Sheena, you're up
first. Good morning, Good morningguys. Yeah, so, I mean
you were talking earlier about how callerscoming in there, you know, just

(01:12:18):
sound like they're smile and their voice. You know, it's just one win,
but felt like a big one.I heard during like the tenth Inning
show last night. You know,it was one run game that we won.
Our first basement hit, a homerun, Jordon had two multi multi
base hits. You know, allthis stuff that we just haven't seen lately.

(01:12:39):
And unfortunately I didn't get to listento or watch most of the game.
I'm just have a job where Ijust don't get to do that during
the day, and unfortunately was stuckin a meeting till seven. So it's
a nice eleven hour day. ButI got to hear the end of the
game on my drive home, andthe best thing about my day was a
five year oldater that every night,she says, the only thing we let

(01:13:01):
her watch at night is baseball.It's the only time that she gets to
watch anything at night is baseball.And every night she wants to know tell
me the next morning who wins thegame, and how good both teams do,
and who all hits home runs?And when I got home last night,
because she got to watch at theend of the game and she was
already in her pj's to go tobed, and she got the first thing

(01:13:23):
she says when I walked through thedoor was Mommy, Mommy, the Astros
won. And she was just soexcited to see that the Astros won the
game. I mean, we haven'tseen a lot of that, and she
doesn't often get to watch the endof the game, and she's like in
jord One hit a home run andSingleton hit a home run, and she
was just all excited to tell meall about the game. So that was
just you know that kept off avery long, very exhausting day and very

(01:13:45):
much probably the best part of myweek. So I think that's awesome.
She and hey Astros baseball making kidshappy all over the country. It's nice.
Oh yeah, and adults too.That's great news. Happy Mother's Day
to you, and have a greatweekend. Thanks. That's so awesome.
Get those kids rolling, huh yeah, why not? I love it?

(01:14:06):
You love them kids? Come home? Come on, that's gonna warm your
heart. The kids pumped up?Great man, pumped up about the Astros.
When are you gonna have a couple? Did you know? Okay,
that's not happened. No, yeah, but happy Mother's Day of and all

(01:14:28):
the rest of our mothers. Jeanname Sean Lalima. No, that's a
good ring to it. Yeah itdoes, Sean Lalima. No at the
times Sean Yeah. Maybe no,maybe no, maybe absolutely not. Maybe
no, maybe it ain't happening.Maybe I'll see it'll soften you a little
bit. No, warm your heart. You just you have that little snuggle

(01:14:53):
buddy, So I need to showyou, do I need to show you
the Michael Jordan meme. No,okay, well f them kids, John,
good morning. What a fella's goodmorning. How's it gone, hey?
Man? A couple of things.Man, you know, it's amazing
how decent pitching will fix everything.You know, I've always felt like it's

(01:15:16):
not so much the manager. It'snot the general manager baseball. It's always
about the pitching. But on anothernote, Man, you had a call
and call in a couple of minutesago reminded me of something I say,
Ooh, I got to call youguys about this. Man. How do
you feel about this man when theastros are on ESPN or he may or

(01:15:36):
be whatever. Man, And indeed, you have these forced earnests out on
the field interviewing these players in themiddle of the game. Man, that
is so irritating. Man. Thatpitches me off so bad. Man,
Hey, I don't want to knowwhat you had for breakfast this morning.
I just find that just too much. It wouldn't be so bad if they

(01:15:58):
were acting some intelligence questions. It'sso very stupid. And you can tell
these players, you know, theytrying to concentrate on the game. Man,
You on the field trying to likethat game where they interviewing that two
bay he's out there playing defense andall this. Man, I hate that
stuff, man. I think thatNew Football League started that, and I

(01:16:21):
can understand why they started it,because they trying to draw up some fans.
You know, they they trying topush their lead. But just crap,
here in the middle of baseball interviewingthe playoff, man, I hate
that so much. Man, Ijust want to reach in the TV and
just slap that guy with that funnylooking bow tie. How y'all feel about

(01:16:41):
that spot time? Man? Ido like players miked up going chasing down
a fly ball in the off.I do also that part of it.
Do I learn anything no from amanager or something during when they ask him
in between the innings? Would youthink heay, someone strikes, he's got

(01:17:05):
a fastball locating it today and we'refacing a good picture. It's a good
team, we're on a road.It'll be a tough one today. I
mean, I can tell you whatthey're going to say. Yeah, that
part. I don't like the interviews, unless every now and then you get
the one who's really pissed off.That's always fun in a football game coming
off and then the announcers upstairs andthey throw back upstairs like well, I

(01:17:28):
guess Nick didn't have a very goodfirst half, and let's go to break
right now, You're right exactly.We'll be back for second half action.
But let's take it to the studioand Adam Shine. So yeah, let's
get to JB in the studio.So with that, But I do like
when a players miked up in freespirit in the All Star Game and a
ground balls hit to him or FreddieFreeman's talking to the picture, you know

(01:17:49):
that part I get, But Iunderstand what John said that most of the
time, interviewing a coach or aplayer in between quarters and stuff is usually
useless as as as well, it'sjust useless. I don't like it.
I don't you do like the AllStar geting miked up? Rightah, for
sure, that's fun. That's fun, But that's the temporary. They won't

(01:18:09):
do that during a regular game.Yeah. I don't like the micd up
stuff. No, I'm sorry,the interviews right in game, excuse me,
especially when they get in the playoffs. Bryce Harbor just hits a mammoth
home run in twenty twenty two,he's got to come into the dugout talk
to his teammates, and then there'sKen Rosenthal. Wait, waiting there for
him. Hey, Bryce, whatdid you see on that pitch? Well,
it was obviously fastball down, youknow it was uh, you know

(01:18:33):
what high right. They're trying tocapture every moment, but you know what,
to me, that's the player's time. It's the player's time. Yeah,
they celebrate with their team. Iscatch them after or before during batting
practices? Some do, or theygot their interview. I just think that's
the players time. If they wantto do it, fine, but I
don't know what they're going to tellyou that they that they don't know or
that we don't know, but theemotion of we gotta capture it. But

(01:18:56):
to me, like I said,we could interview four people a day on
the show, I'm not putting anyI don't care if you're a superstar.
If you're not telling me anything inthe interview, just to interview you doesn't
do any I won't do it onthis show. I won't do it.
We're not a guest driven show.If you're not telling me anything but your
name's big, well to tune inand if you're bring somebody on who you've
got a big name and they andthey don't tell you a thing. If

(01:19:20):
you're a fan. Are you like, oh that was awesome. No,
if you give you a coach speakthe whole time, it's no, I'm
not learning anything. I don't care. There's plenty of interviews maybe somebody you
don't know that you come away fromsaying, now, that was that dude
gave me some insight or that femalegave me some insight. But if they're
putting you asleep with an interview andboring you to death, just having somebody

(01:19:42):
on to head, that's why Idon't like radio road during the super Bowl.
Some will give you some great stuff, and so I was just like
they're running one to one. It'sjust like, okay, great. I

(01:21:53):
Let's drive KDM Houston, KTVHD twoHouston, an iHeartRadio station. How about
the masts as a rocket. Thisis Sports Talk seven ninety your home for
your home teams driven by the ClassicElite to view at GMC Studios for the
Elite Car buying experience. Sulisbury,Obray Houston. Okay, let's do this.

(01:22:24):
Sewan Salisbury to usc true longtime friendShawn Salisbury, Ryan Lima, go
Lobos. This is the Sean SalisburyShow. Astros beat the Yankees. They
avoid the sweep. They went fourto three. They're at the Tigers this
afternoon in Detroit five forty four thirtyon deck show right here on seven nine,

(01:22:45):
your home for Astros baseball. FarmerValdez on the Mount Texans have rookie
mini camp today. The Phoenix Sunsfire their head coach, Frank Vogel.
In that Astros win, Josh Hatergot his fourth save of the season.
This is how the final call soundedon the broadcast. Robert Ford Steve sparks
right here on seven ninety to twoagain twinking a bit, struck about with

(01:23:10):
a high fastball, and that isthe ball game. Then Houston Ashtrolls take
one of the bronx Is. Theydefeat the Yankees four to three. Josh
Hater goes the final four outs topick up the save. There you go,
Josh Hater save number four of theseason. Brian A. Brayew gets

(01:23:33):
four outs. Ryan Presley struggles abit but gets out of it, and
then Josh Hater records four outs.Back into the bullpen held its own even
though Ryan Presley gave up a mammothbomb to he didn't really get out of
it and they had to replace himto bring a lefty on a lefty in.
So he struggled two zero count toevery hitter. It was not a

(01:23:54):
good appearance for Presley, but hehung in there and Lee paved the way
for Hater to go do his thing, which he did. I wish his
first name was player. So orcan we not pitch Josh Hater in the
eighth? Because it was set uppretty nicely for Josh Hater to face two
two out of the three lefties inthe eighth We're gonna be left handed hitters

(01:24:15):
and Aaron Judge rakes off of RyanPresley? Can we not? Can we
not pitch Ryan? Well? Theywon, I know, but damn no,
it's not the win. We don'twe Listen, I can't stretch my
closer out more than four outs.Well, dude, listen, got wait

(01:24:38):
wait wait, yeah, we can't. I mean six outs. That's an
ask. You can't ask him todo that, or or let Brian or
Bran Maybe Ryan Presley in the night. No Brian, That's what I'm saying,
Josh Hater in the eighth, RyanPresley the Night, last guy,
I have a hyphen closer after yourname. You you lose your maybe lose.

(01:25:00):
He's started. Then he could mixand match depending on matchups for the
match up, said last night,Josh Hater in the eighth to phase two
out of the three left eas listento one of my analytics. Tell me
what do they tell you they want? Can't give you four outs? More
than four outs as a closer.It's it's listen. We specialize in everything.
Come in. You got eight pinchesin you, that's all I'm asking.

(01:25:20):
If you get the nine, gottaget you out. I'm worried about
rotator cuffs. Remember what it usedto be a rotator cuff. We already
we're the rotator cuff coas kind oflike the the uh the vid. Yeah,
I just came and went. Nobodytalks about rotator cuffs in Yeah,
we don't. Hey man, whathappened to your arm? Rotator cuff?
That's right now? It's Tommy.You you l what did we say?

(01:25:41):
You cl yeah, yeah, elbowson us. Yep, tightness, yep,
discomfort. Yes, Brian, don'tyou understand when you're making twenty five
million year? Yeah, but theI said, you can't ask for more
than three or four outs. Oh, I'm just saying, Brian, Ryan
Presley throw the night. All theanalytics you mean to tell me they didn't
know that Aaron Judge was like sixfor his You don't five for six in

(01:26:04):
his last ten at bats against RyanPresley. You don't disrupt pro athletes flow.
Dog hangs a change piece and hegets hit almost five hundred. You
can't listen. So if he waspitched on the ninth, they might have
gone to the five. He wasn'tgonna face Aaron Judge. But this,
Brian, see, yeah, it'slike he gave us three outs. I

(01:26:27):
mean like a middle reliever comes up, Well, can he give me three
more? He pitched, he wentstruck out the side. Yeah, no,
no, no, it's too dangerous. His threshold's fifteen pitches. Yeah
he got he struck out. Hestruck out three. But get if you
ask him to throw sixteen pitches,nope, you're done. Yes, we're
worried about the cuff. Yep.Oh, that's right. The cuff went

(01:26:47):
away like the VID. No,I'm worried about I can't do it.
Yeah, specialization is overboard in baseball. Two, Why can't Josh Hater give
you six out? Or why can'tyou just pitch in the eighth because he
to fake? Well? Do youwant you want situational matchups in baseball?

(01:27:08):
Right? Aren't you looking for theanalytics that say that guy's better than that
guy in this situation? Left beyondlefty most of the time. I mean
it was with Soto lefty, can'tpitch to him, Aaron Judge Righty,
Verdugo lefty right and Aaron Judge.It was even questioned Hammer's right by the
broadcast he tied in. What wasgoing to happen? Yeah? And well,
let me ask you this, ifa Brell is on fire, can

(01:27:31):
he not give me six outs?I know it's right he left you,
But I'm saying, if he's goinggood, do we automatically got to go
to the air. That's another thingthat's always bothered me. If the pitch
count, if it's not thirty onepitches, let's say just for and I
know Bray you got one out ona couple pitches in the inning before what
was it the sixth inning? Right? Yes, because came back. I
came back into seven that got threeouts and was blaze and pumping it up

(01:27:55):
around ninety seven to ninety eight.So if in fact he would have got
let's say, would you have beenfit to be tied? See you like
that old school falls? If hehad come out in the eighth, then
am I forget that? It wasso righty left? He forget that for
a second. I just talking aboutthe specialization. If a guy went to

(01:28:15):
goes four outs and hammers you andlooks like a break, he's not.
He can't get six outs from him? I mean he can, Yeah,
that's my point. He can.It's like he already got he got his
seventh inn. Does automatically mean becauseyou're in the eighth that and I know
you needed to get Presley some workand that, and also you got to
look ahead to the Detroit series you'reabout to but you're about to have it.

(01:28:38):
You can't look ahead for squat.They got to deal with every single
guy. I agree, But you'realso about to play twenty nine games in
thirty days, right, fair enough? So no, I get I understand
you got your seven, got youreight, got your nine. But at
times I'm not even talking about yesterday. At any time, we have taken
specialization and hammered it so far intothe ground. Did if I got a
guy who throws twelve strikes in arow and Bengal Bangal bongs your strike out

(01:29:00):
the side, I can't bring himout for the eighth. Yeah, no,
I'm not in say his game.No, that's my point. We
are so overboard talk about the coddlingeffect. It's nuts. Now. I
understand if you're throwing fifty eight pitchesas a reliever and it's like, goode,
it's time in three days. AndI get it. But there's certain
times when I say, you knowwhat, let him run his ass out
there again. He is on five. A matter of fact, I need

(01:29:21):
him to get this feeling that he'sgetting back to be twenty twenty three.
A brad, you that feeling.But yesterday I go, I get why
you went to Presley, but Ican't understand why you'd flip them that day
because of the matchups with Sodo andVerdugo, who have hammered people in this
series, and then and and Iget it, but it doesn't alway.
And when it was all said,you had to bring in Hater anyways,

(01:29:43):
if you're going by analytics, Presleyhad zero business pitching to judge righty on
righty or not? Yes, zerobusiness pitching to him none whatsoever. If
you're going by way, I sayanalytics, don't go by feel Field will
get you four seventy three in thatsituation. Yeah, because he just it's
it's it's as if when he played, when he pitches to him and he
saw the second ball is hit Presslike he knew it. Yeah, It's
like it was all damn again.It was almost as if Presley knew he

(01:30:05):
couldn't get him out. Yeah,and it just so it's a listen,
managing baseball and manipulating and moving aroundto pitching staff and manage it's tough to
do, man, but there's certainthings. I get what you're saying.
Listen, what is Hater gonna quitif we throw him in the eighth and
Pressley the Knights, He's gonna loseconfidence because I lost my clothes. Roll,

(01:30:26):
no, dude, no soda.We can't get him out either normally,
so let's try to go with theguy. Right. So it just
You're right. It all just feltobligated to put Presley into the eighth.
Yeah, because number one he hadn'thad working six seven days. I mean
we were told that, yeah,Josh Hater is a closer, but yet
they would look at matchups. Dependingon matchups, Yeah, he's Joe Spatta

(01:30:48):
said before he started that there isa chance that Josh Hater could pitch the
eighth, Ryan Presley could pitch theninth, or vice versa, or even
Brian and Bray depending on matchups.I just felt like the matchup showed that
Josh Hader should have had the eighthand Ryan Presley the ninth. Look but
they won, But it got alittle dicey air Judge pumped one for four
seventy three. YEP. I wouldlove Josh Hater go change his name though

(01:31:12):
legally the player yeah player like pl a ya player just player player hater.
Yes, I think it'd be awesome. It's like, can you imagine
Todd give me the coming in forthe bullpen he changed his name down at
the local courtou the Astros having onerun lead as we get into the ninth,
coming out of the bullpen as playerHater, But dude, Hey,

(01:31:34):
if somebody, if guys could changeall the time, could you imagine He
tells the story how he went tothe courthouse. The closer, formerly known
as Josh had now known as playerHater, went and went down to the
courthouse last week and got it legallychange in downtown Houston met with a new

(01:31:54):
new mayor. They gave the keyto the city. How good would that
be though? What a great day? Yeah. Imagine Bob Ford, the
PA announcer for the at Minim Park, announcing that coming out of the ball
or what is it in uh what, I don't even know how the announced
because they do like the whole hiswhole now pitching thing. He's like a
now pitching now pitching for your HoustonAstros player Hater. Yeah, yeah,

(01:32:21):
yeah, I freaking love it.That would be classic, man. That
may be a little seventh grade elementaryschool book. Bring it, dude,
I mean you could go, where'sa player? You're right? Well just
full player, yeah, but playersthe perfect stress player. Yeah yeah,

(01:32:41):
Now imagine him in like, imagineif he was like a basketball player in
an opposing arena, now at thefree throw line, Player Hater now the
starting lineup for your world championshiicrgo bullsat guard. Wherever he's from? I
don't even know where he know wherehe's from? Player number four, player

(01:33:02):
hater, Where is he from?Millersville? Uh? Where's he? Where's
he from? Let's see here,Maryland, Millersville, Maryland. He went
to Old Mill High. Yeah,leading, Yeah, it would be classic
player hater, that'd be friggin phenomenal. Seven one, three, two,

(01:33:25):
two, five, seven ninety.Got a couple of guys that want to
get in and talk about these astros. We'll get to you fellas next as
we get you talk about the strosyou got Christiannavier returning. How much of
a welcome side is that? That'snext? Wear a mask, wear gloves,
wear leather and chains. Reminds meof that time I accidentally walked into

(01:33:46):
an S and M convention. Hey, my back still hurts good speaking of
back pain. Back to former QBSean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety,
getting medieval on him, sh Sean, whether he can pulzoids or not?
Yeah, it's up, We're up. We're up, you said John Mayor.

(01:34:09):
Hey, Yeah, was I right? Andy Cohen is dating John Mayor?
There you go. I knew Icouldn't remember who it was. There
you go, that's all right?See why why are you so wwampy?
John? Got him? Got him? Oh he okay, okay, Why

(01:34:29):
why do you just sound like?John Mayer said that him and his him
and in his affectionate relationship with JohnMayor is strictly a friendship and there's nothing
romantic going on about it. That'sall right, he said. Let them
speculate. I honestly love John Mayerand he loves me. But because we're
still affectionate towards each other, peopledon't know what box to put that in.
They assume we're sleeping with each other, which we are most definitely not.

(01:34:53):
Maybe they like the maybe they likethe can noodle toge, I'm about
to start hugging your ass every day, Sean. Well, get him talk
and get him talk. You gethim talking, Let's get something and talking
about? Is that? How aboutlove? Love? That, by the
way, would be Lionel Richie.I said, no, yeah, close,

(01:35:13):
Nicole, John Mayor, Lionel Richieclose. Nicole Richie's dad, Yeah,
no, yeah, good, LionelRichie's daughter. Yeah, Nicole Richie's
dad. Yeah, there you go. Seven one, three, five,
seven on jan Thanks for holding brother. What's up? Hey? It was
a Fellas man. I was hopingtrip Lee would come back with that player
I hated Iggy and towards b igfrom the break man my right. Wouldn't

(01:35:35):
it be great if he changed hisname to player Hater? I would be
freaking awesome. Yeah, that'd becrazy, man. But before I get
to my point at the Astro,I'm gonna do a little self Patton on
the back. I'm graduating to dayfrom the University of Houston Downtown and my
son is graduating tomorrow from the Universityof Texas. Yeah, oh man,
awesome congraduation. That would be ahell of a family celebrate, right,

(01:36:00):
Congrats to Congrats to your boy,and congrats to you. Man. That's
got to be an emotional for youguys. That's gonna be a little emotional.
How cool is that? Best newsof the day. Good for you.
That's not about on the back,brother, She yelled that to the
high heavens. That's awesome, awesome, happy for you. Appreciated fellas.
Appreciated Fellas. Now about these strolls, I'm kind of curious on what I'll

(01:36:21):
think if the Astros continue to beborderline five hundred, our way on the
five hundred up to the trading deadline. Now, when they say are we
becoming sellers? Are we thinking acouple of players like you know, a
Bregmander somebody, all we like basicallystarting over, like trying to get prospects

(01:36:44):
and all these things. So that'sthat's my curiosity because in my opinion,
even if we have a bad season, I mean, we could chalk it
up to first year manager. Wecan talk talk chalk it up to injuries.
We could talk it up to playersnot performing that they that routine levels.
So I don't know if we wantto necessarily tear it down from that

(01:37:05):
perspective. Yeah, yeah, toanswer your question and let you finish on
what else you got it would youwant to talk about if they're well out
of it, Let's say they're twelvegames behind and twelve games under five for
whatever it is, right and doubledigits in both, and they decide to
be a buyer or should I saya seller. I don't think it's it's

(01:37:28):
not a fire sale. There's noway. This team's too talented for you
to say, well, we justhad one bad half a season, but
we want to get better, butwe need to get some prospects, so
we'll trade Bregman sits where he mayprobably gonna leave during free agency anyway,
so we'll ship him. Blah blahblah. I don't see. It's one
of those where you see like seven, eight, nine, ten players go

(01:37:48):
where they just rebuild from the startfirst off. I mean, then they'd
be fielding nine young prospects. Andthat's not They're not there. They're not
even close to that. This isthis is team that started slow. And
to me, if they do,if they're sellers at the deadline, it'll
be small cell, not some largeestate sale. How's how's that sound that

(01:38:10):
that would be different. Yeah,they're not. They're not in the rebuilding
mode just yet or the fire cell. So there you go. Because I've
heard I've heard people mention that like, oh, we need to you know,
startial spare. I'm like that,that's stupid, Like it takes years,
yes to startial, I mean,and then you've got to hope you
hit on all these prospects. Andyou know, we've seen it over the

(01:38:32):
past, you know, with theWheelies or whatever. Some of those guys
don't pan out. So I hangup and listen. Man. But yeah,
that was that was that was,that was my curiosity about the whole
selling thing at the at the deadlinewith the people thinking. Appreciate it.
Jane, congratulations a great news.Huh what a what a great weekend for
that family. Thanks buddy. Goodto hear from you. John, welcome

(01:38:55):
in. What's happened? Hey man, what's happening. Congratulations to that man

can't wait for December for for mykid to walk up at steven f But
all right, well you just wastedfifteen seconds, John, Let's go come
on, whoa Johnny always does youlike that? Duney? Don't start with

(01:39:17):
your forty five second deal man,that's about all you got. It's not
you, it's me. It's sayit's thirty seconds longer than normal. Bet
your test test, the roll test, TOSK whatever. Hey, check this
out. I heard something the othernight and listening to the ball game on

(01:39:38):
that seven ninety I heeart app Soat the end of the year and bear
with me, Brian. So atthe end of the year, let's let's
ship. Let's ship. Braakman Brakeman. Let's get rid of Bragman, get
rid of Berlanders contract. Let's uh, let's do a couple of contract dumbs.

(01:40:02):
Let's get rid of Myers, maybeeven my boy. I like Chaz,
but maybe get rid of him.Let's uh sign Tucker move his butt
to center field. And there's agentleman over there up in New York and
right field that's a free agent thisyear, can go sign so tho.

(01:40:26):
Yeah, he'll only cost you aboutsix hundred mili half a bill. You
think they're gonna pay that, John, I get it, but you think
they're gonna give him that for abouttwelve thirteen years. It's it's good to
start, you know already, atleast get it talking there you go,
it's all, you know, getit talking every time. I mean,
everybody's you know, jumping up.You know, oh my god, we
won yesterday. About frigging time youfrigging hit the ball people. I mean,

(01:40:49):
that's what you get paid to do. And you know, to y'all's
conversation earlier, and I know wegot to wrap it up here. So
moving hater to the eight and presslingall that, and why wouldn't he and
would he be okay with this.The last time I checked fellas I signed.
You know, Jim Kran signs yourpaychecks. So you don't like it

(01:41:14):
to damn bad. We're moving you, We're moving things around. It obviously
isn't working in the ninth, theeighth, the seventh, whatever, whoever
everybody's forgetting from basketball to frigging baseballto football. You work for the owner.
They don't work for you. That'swhere. And it goes back to

(01:41:36):
select ball where I see these spoiledbrat kids that are all this and that
because mom and daddy put them onthis pedestal. And it goes into the
pros. They think they're all,dude, yes you're signed for ninety five
million, but dude, it's notworking. Go to the eighth, flipball,

(01:42:00):
what's he going to do? Sayno? Okay, you say no,
then fun and you say no,and then uh bray you You go
to the eighth and Pressley, yougo to the ninth, and we'll put
somebody in the seventh, whether it'sMartinez or gott To wrap it up,
John, go guys, Thanks Josh. Good to talk to you, brother,

(01:42:20):
John. Good Mother's Day weekend,Hey, brother, to your good
wife as well. I don't thinkyou were suggesting to make the full time
switch. It was just yesterday,just a matchup yesterday, just yesterday.
But I think John's forwarding it saying, well, what if Presley's gets the
Mac, you can max them bothout right now because you may not be
getting Maybe it's an adjustment period.I just for me. We were told

(01:42:43):
before the season started by the manager, Joe Spotta, that it was going
to be Josh Hater as the closer, but that could change depending on matchup.
And you also have three closers,and Dana Brown said at the Eddy
goes we got three closers. Hesaid it in his Wednesday interview. So
there you go seven one, three, two, two five seven. I
will continue on with the phone callsabout these astros, Tom, John,

(01:44:25):
I mean, you want to giveus an address? Maybe come to
your house? And party a littlebit. What's happened to play golf?
What's going on? Smoke a cigar? Well, I'd love to do that,
man. You got a lot ofcallers. I would want them showing
up house. I'd love to getyou guys over. And what side of
town are we on now, Tom, I'm on the same side of town.
I live in Spring. Oh okay, I'm right there in the Woodlands.

(01:44:47):
Yeah. I wouldn't expect you tobe anywhere else Woodland boy, Okay,
Tom, I'm originally from Spring,the east side of Spring, on
the other side of the tracks,Cyprus, Wooden on ing Westfield. You
all right, Yeah, grew upin Timberlane, bring Spring, rocket man,

(01:45:08):
no question. Hey, guys,I want to try to encapsulate the
season for the Astros, and ifyou give me a minute, I'll try
to be a pithy. They startedthe season six and twelve. If you
remember I said, can they getto ten wins before twenty losses? Well
they got to nine and nineteen andthey got that tenth win before yesterday they're

(01:45:29):
twelve and twenty four. That's twostretches of eighteen games where they went six
and twelve. Now, if Isaid to you right now, in the
next eighteen games, they're going togo twelve and six. You take that
in a heartbeat with this team rightnow, But can they be that team?
I just don't see it. Here'swhy we have to rely on pitching.

(01:45:50):
And the hitting is there. It'sjust not timely and we know that
that will turn around. But withoutthe pitching, they just it's going to
be another team now, Brian,you made a good point. The next
thirty days. They're going to beplaying twenty nine games in thirty days from
now, We're going to know wherethe Astros are. If we don't know

(01:46:11):
where they are now. I'm stillrooting for them. I still think they
can turn it around, but they'rerunning out of games. Guys. We
can't expect the division to keep playingdown to what we're doing. Could that
happen, Maybe maybe we're the weekdivision and that's a saving grace for them,
But they're a one out of threewin team right now, and they

(01:46:33):
have been that team since they brokespring training. If you're going to turn
the Titanic around the next eighteen games, we got to be at least twelve
and six. Without that, itain't going to happen. Hate to be
a guy with bad news, butwe got to start looking at what their
record is, how many games theyhave left? Are they running out of

(01:46:55):
time? I don't know. Ilook forward to Christian Habber are coming back
like everyone else. But that's whatwe keep doing. We keep looking.
I hate to say it, atthe back of the card. We got
to look at the front of thecard. And they're one for three team
right now show us. It's timeto show us. So now at the
beginning of this next eighteen game stretch, they'll want to know they finally beat

(01:47:15):
the Yankees. A lot of goodthings about that win yesterday. I don't
want to discount it, but theygot to show it. They got to
dig down deep. And as faras what you said about hater, hey
man, the professional ball player,If you can't get four outs, why
are we paying them that kind ofmoney? So I don't think that's an
issue. As far as Presley goes, the guy always gave up bombs,

(01:47:36):
you know, it's just the wayit is. I think they're starting to
get it together, but are theyrunning out of time? I love to
be with you guys. Good tobe back, hey man. We're in
bizarro world with John may Ord datinga dude. Yeah, they're just affectionate
to each other. French of Tom. We appreciate it man, Tom,

(01:47:57):
great stuff and enjoy the new crib. Shaate you brother, thank you have
a good weekend and I like itreal quick. What are you laughing at?
John Mayor? John Mayor? Andif you're a Mayor guy, right
to clought you off guard? Now? John, what's happening? What's going
on? My friends? What abeautiful Friday day? Is? I come
barring good news? I seen aspark last night. Fellas you know,

(01:48:20):
we finally get him production out offirst base. Singleton is a good move
now. I see that he playingevery day. He's getting his timing down.
He's gonna be a danger. Yougot three left handed power hitters,
right, you got Tucker, yougot air Done, you got and you
got Singington. Now, if I'mnot mistaken, I don't think Brian,
I have to ask you this becauseyou know you know the numbers. If

(01:48:41):
I'm not mistaken, I don't thinkDetroit have a left handed starter. And
if they don't, I look forthe Astros to win, to sweep,
if not take the lead on Detroit. I look for him to either sweep
Detroit a win the series. Becauseif if he keep that line up together
and keep Year Done and Singington rightthere along with Tucker them three hittered them

(01:49:04):
three hitters right there, I thinkthe offense is gonna turn around. And
I think when the offense turn aroundback last night, when they score runs
and score them early, even thoughTucker, i mean Prinsley gave up,
you know, hitting them, gaveup the runs at the end, they
didn't look, they didn't lose thegame. So I'm saying, if he
stick with the rotation and let Singingtoncontinue to rake and let the Year Done

(01:49:29):
get hot again with Tucker Fellas,I'm gonna go agains what I thought.
I think that after it's gonna tearthis thing around. That's my good news
for the day. Now. I'mgonna jump back in my lencol and take
out y'all have a great weekend.Schooll. School is a left handed pitcher.
For did hey didn't think any ofthe rotation was lefty? Yeah,

(01:49:51):
School is a lefty and he's prettydamn good. Yeah he is. They
got it. They got a goodrotation, man, they really do.
They're gonna challenge the the Astros pitching, but good time to go sweep.
That'd be nice. And then totell you that this is again, get
on a trend, not just onone. Get on trend trend. You
want to make it a trend,Make winning a trend. It's contagious.

(01:50:15):
I thought you were talking about iton trend like adult scars up in Dallas.

of him dog. Right on?How about to mold school Clint Eastwood and
rowed hands and I'll get for youtake. I'm in you know, what
do you know about clear? Everheard of Clint Eastwood? Yeah? Yeah,
time too. Yeah, I'm inboxing cigars for a sweep? Talking

(01:54:36):
about one cigar for a win?What's the what's a Clint Eastwood pole?
Like? All right, I wouldn'tknow that. Why have talk to somebody
in the entertainment industry? Well likeJohn Mayer? Maybe he does cut too
soon? No, I just foundout and I see wealthy, useless knowledge.

(01:54:57):
Just wanted to make it, makesure you knew, because I know
how much you love the to hismusic. Him and Andy Cohen. Huh.
Well, they say it's they're justthere's there're just buddies, affectionate friends.
That's okay, no problem. ButClint Eastwood, I don't know.
But Clint's Clint loved himself some inthose Westerns, a little little like a
mini cigar, and they you know, I love Clint, but I don't

(01:55:17):
call him Polls Okay, we've hadthat conversation. I don't know why you
do, but you seem to loveit. You can't say Clint Eastwood cigar

(01:55:38):

okay. Well to go back andwatch some old westerns of Clint Eastwood and
you'll see what kind of he doesn'tknow. I don't think he has his
own brand. Okay, Yeah,I don't think we're I think Clint's by

(01:55:59):
that right now, clintch Roll andmaking movies like ninety three years old.
Okay, I thought, probably stillwhoop your ass? Maybe mine too.
You probably doubled down on us maybe, so yeah, I did. They
did deserve it. Listen, youhad to love the four to three win
man, the way they went aboutit, had to win and carve out
a win in a tight and uptightmoments in the game and find a way

(01:56:20):
to get it done, and sawsome really good things. And I think
those wins are far bigger character buildersthen dominate somebody in a game. Now,
if you dominate somebody six, seven, eight times in a row,
you're like, damn, we're good. You're You're the Kings. But I
will take not the King's basketball teamor I'm talking about the Kings, just

(01:56:41):
the King of the Road. Ifyou can dominate, I'd like wins like
that. I think they they provemore to your baseball club, especially with
the ashes have been through this year, than it did a blowout Wood.
It was important for them, andI'm with him. Give the give a.
I'll give those cigars. They deservecigars for yesterday. Hell, John
Singleton ought to smoke one. Hetakeing a dip out after he goes four
to forty three upper tank off thefacing of the upper deck the third deck.

(01:57:05):
Yeah, I hope he smoked oneafter the game. Damn that ball
was tatered, tattooed. Yeah,he hammered it up up to the third
deck, out of the third deck. Man, dude, he destroyed that
Yeah, yeah, tank job.Tater tater. Okay, So George Scott,

(01:57:27):
former first baseman, used to callhim taters. Give myself a tater
Tator Masher. What was the uhwhat was the caller the other day?
Uh? Gopher balls. Yep,that's a picture giving up the home run.
Like, well you saw that lastnight. Uh. Stroman gave up
himself a gopher ball, a coupleof them, and the one that Singleton

(01:57:47):
was a I mean, damn,Jordan smoked his and the next thing Singleton
hits his. That was that's agopher ball times too. That ball was
smoked his his. Singleton's bat flipso smooth. Well, there's no break
in the action. Hit and dropmany hit and drop fluid. Yes,
it is. He doesn't have tostop down then flip it on the walk.

(01:58:10):
He's flipping it before the walk.That boy that bats flipped out of
his hand. Yeah, when it'slike it's like he finishes his swing and
then all in one fell swoop thebats out of his hand. Yeah.
It's impressive. Man. It's likehe's prepared for it. But dude,
what you've been through. Flip away, yeah, man, flip away.
Good for John Singleton. Four bombson the We've had callers in the earlier
this year. Then when he comein, spot said, man, he

(01:58:31):
should be playing more. You justgot to give him more, run more
at bats, and people say,ah, no, it's time we got
to get and everybody did said,you know, well, it's just a
weak position. Singleton may be abetter hitter. Butt there's always a butt
at the end of it, andthere may still be. But I think
he has earned the right to playfirst base, yep, until he proves
he can't. Absolutely, And hemade a great defensive play yesterday which was

(01:58:55):
every bit as impressive. Now,that was a distance home run, but
we know Singleton has power, buthe'd scooped that short hop that saved a
run. That thing rolls down theline, that run scores. It's a
different Yeah, it's a different ballgame. It was a smooth phenomenalon. He
made it look easy and that wasnot an easy play. It was not.
John Singleton has started every game sincejose A. Brady has gone,
and he run him out there forthis whole series as well. Yeah,

(01:59:18):
he's earned it, man, yep. Uh. Seven seven ninety's turn our

talking a little Texans here this segmentbefore we get to that seven one three
two seven, Greg, welcome in. Hey guys, how's it going,

(02:02:32):
good man? What's on your mind? I just wanted to get on Diaz
pitch calling Seattle, Top of theKnights haters and DS calls for a secret
low Peter has it and it goesout and last night hang on, Greg
hold on, So, uh,Josh had calls his own pitches Yanni or
Diaz does not that his final pitchthe last night I was one on the

(02:03:00):
ordinary. Uh yeah, Josh,Josh hater. A couple of the beat
writers have reported on it. Theytalked about it in spring training. Yeah,
Josh Hater calls his own pitch.Wasn't the two pitch for in the
home run against Seattle at home Wasn'tthat a fastball out in middle middle?
Yeah? Middle middle? Yeah,it wasn't. Wasn't Yeah? Yeah,
yep, Yeah, you appreciate it. Great, thanks. Yeah, he

(02:03:29):
was hitting pitch Calm himself yesterday.Yeah. Now, the pitch before he
got the last pitch out, hedidn't hit Pitchclm. They may have already
known what they were talking about.Determined he he was. He's one of
the few that where that has thePitchCom for the astro staff. And listen,
you've been in the league long enough. I don't have a problem with
a guy trusts what he's throwing.It's his balls in his hand that to

(02:03:51):
me, you should study. Heshould be studying hitters all the time.
I I I don't know, dude, how would you put yourself in a
situation. There'd be very few thatI would trust to call pitches for me.
If I'm a veteran. Yeah,with a young, inexperienced catcher,
I don't care if it's a veterancatcher. If you're a veteran pitcher.

(02:04:11):
I mean, I understand, butyou have the wall on your hand.
Does a catcher no more what tothrow than you? If it's a veteran
catcher and you trust him, thenI'm working together with them. Agreed.
Yeah, and then I go offa fuel. But what I'm saying is
I put the if I if Iput when somebody will say, then somebody
would try to compare with Sean.What about an offense where you're got the

(02:04:33):
eleven players. Shouldn't quarterbacks all calltheir own plays? I think you should
be able to I tell quarterbacks.Now, I say prepare yourself as if
the offensive coordinator and the head coachgot the flu and you got to call
your own place, how are youThat will tell me that you've prepared enough
to watch tape. If you're doingprepared enough to go run a game,
Could you run the game and calla game if your coordinator or quarterback coach

(02:04:58):
or coach weren't there and it wason you. Most would probably say no.
And the question is why not goprepare yourself. Doesn't mean you have
to, but go prepare yourself soyou can be thinking similar to the same
page, and that means now youcan just physically go operate an offense without
mentally being bogged down by all thisstuff we did I study enough? Did
I watch enough tape? Do Iunderstand the Tennessee's and then you're prepared for

(02:05:20):
anything. But the difference between thatand one is one guy pitcher to catcher.
You got the ball on your hand. Felt with this, I don't
get to dictate the right guard's blockand the right tackle if he handles his
guy and the running back and thereceiver run the right rounde. Here,
it's I just got to throw.I got to throw the ball to the
right spot with a catcher where heputs the glove. So for me,
I personally and I get it ifyou gotta hear Malina or Johnny Bench or

(02:05:43):
Pad Rodrigue has been a league andyou're a rookie in your lead direction that
you just want to focus on whateverpitch he calls, that's what you're throwing.
But I always believe that I'd bemore in tuned if I was the
one who had to think ahead andaccount and how I'm pitching it, if
I was a pitcher. To me, I don't know how even if it's
like being married. I mean,while your wife or your girlfriend you've been

(02:06:06):
with for a long time may understand, can you know you've been around each
other long enough you know each other'sroutine and the rest of it. But
even then, how many of uswould trust somebody else to make an important
decision more than we trust ourselves?I get it. But hell yinor Daz
is still learning on the fly himself. See yer Das has got to learn

(02:06:27):
a whole pitching staff. The picture'sgot to learn ere in the respect of
what one catcher. So I justI don't mind him doing it if you
trust it. But for me,I would always go into a season as
a veteran pitcher knowing what I wantto throw, and if the catcher is
calling them and it doesn't match upto what I'm feeling in between pitches,
then I'm throwing what I want tothrow, not what they tell me to

(02:06:48):
throw. Because if you don't believein it, the biggest battle is believing,
and you can throw that pitch forstrikes if if you don't believe you
can throw it. The catcher putsdown a fastball and you're like, I
don't feel good about my fastball.Throw a fastball. That's on you.
You gotta have the balls to shakeit off and move to the pitch you
want. So I don't have anyproblem with hater calling him, And I
wouldn't have a problem with hater callinghim if Maldonado was behind the plate,

(02:07:10):
if he felt comfortable enough. Ke'sgot the ball in his hand. Okay,
he just does. Yeah, Andat the end of the day,
the pitchers have to execute. Thereis no doubt, right, So,
can't leave a ball middle middle.How many times Dana Brown on Wednesday say,
we can't throw two fastballs middle middle. We've got to make He said,
we got to make the right pitch, and we gotta we gotta,
we gotta swing the bat and putthe hit the ball. We got to

(02:07:32):
put in play and be selective anddo the right thing. And he constantly
emphasized, can't throw pitches. Hegoes, good hitters are gonna hit fastballs
down the middle. They just aregot to execute. There's no doubt,
have to execute. Little Texans newsfor you. You're ready to talk with
rookie Minnie Camp Maybe schedule release nextweek. Yeah, let's toy fired up

(02:07:55):
about Texans? Wise fired up aboutFriday. C J. Stroud top five
quarterback. Got that we can talkabout next segment. Well, I've had
him in my top five. I'vetold you that for me. I mean
I have not looked at the list. I bet I can the other four.
I bet you we have pretty goodidea. Yeah, wonderf Aaron Rodgers
jumps into the four after missing.Well, let's discuss I wonder if he's

(02:08:18):
in the first four. We'll talkabout that next segment. The trade that
they made yesterday, the Texans tradefor Super Bowl winning wide receiver Ben sko
Renick Notre damer, Fighting Irish,good player at Notre Dame, seventh round
pick. I believe he is roundseven to the twenty twenty one draft ot
of Notre Dame. But they gotit there him in a sixth and gave
up something in a sixth or seventhsixth round pick. Yeah, here's him.

(02:08:41):
He's not six three, two twentyfour. He's He's even at times
played he lined up at full backat times for the Rams. He's a
special teams guy. A matter offact, the majority of his works come
on special teams. So you getversatility. You could move him in motion,
you can line him up is anin a guy on the line of
scrimmage standing up and giving you extrachip or guy out. You can flex

(02:09:05):
him out and have him run routesbecause he he has caught some balls in
big games. As a matter offact, I think he caught two in
their Super Bowl winning season against Cincinnati's. But time went away a little bit
more when you got those two receiversthey have in the Rams, and he's
spent the majority of his time runningdown That's a big, physical kids that
can line up behind a quarterback.You can line up on the line of
scrimmage, you can flex him out, you can line him at wide receiver,

(02:09:28):
put him in the slot. Theybrought him in here for versatility.
He's got experience winning at Notre Dameand quite frankly with the Rams and big
programs, and he's a he's aspecial teams guy that's really good at it.
So you're getting a big body whocan move around and give you some
versatility. If you want to runa guy out of the backfield, you

(02:09:48):
can load him up. If youwant to go you know, hell,
you could line up three tights andhave him on the wing off the tight
ends. Ass you know three andthree, two and two off the tight
ends ass and let him get outon the strong safety and block if you
want to rent toss sweep. Hegives you versatility. And who does that
remind you of when it comes toversatile offenses. That's exactly right. You
didn't just trade for him because he'sa dynamite receiver. You traded for the

(02:10:13):
versatility, not for the we're gonnaline him up in the spot that receiver
room's packed. But he gives youwhat very with the others aren't the ability
to put him in different spots.And he plays bigger than two twenty four,
I assure you. Yeah, asyou alluded to. All he was
with the Rams, he was awide receiver, played on special teams and

(02:10:33):
then also line up at both fullback and tight end. There you go
the versatility there. Now, don'tmistake this guy's You don't have to call
in and says Adebo Samuel. They'renot running toss sweep with him or jet
sweep with him out of the ibacksituation in the backfield. That's not going
to happen. But what he doesgive you that play action fake run to
the flat like a fullback chip andget out late as a receiver, line

(02:10:54):
up outside and in the slot,and be able to do stuff from different
venues on the field. And alsoyou can deploy him a lot of different
spots. And like I said,you're gonna run down seventy or seven percent
of the time on special teams.The guy can play, and so he
gives you versatility more than specializing atone particular position. The versatility that they

(02:11:16):
like two tight ends, two runningbacks, four wides, three wides.
They multiple is what we like tocall it. And he gives you that
ability to be multiple. And guesswhere he comes from an offense that McVeigh
and mc and shanahan, the groupthat that whole young coaching thing that like

(02:11:37):
to do different things and create mismatcheswith formations and personnel groupings. And that's
what he gives you. That's whatyou're getting out of him, adding some
depth and you're gonna look at it. He's a guy that's going to give
you a little bit of everything,not a lot of one thing other than
running down on special teams. Yeah, So adding that into the Bobby Slowik
offense, all right. The Athleticput out an article in regards to the

(02:11:58):
top ten quarterbacks in the NFL.Where does C. J. Stroud rank?
Next? Sports Tack seven eighty changeyour loofa Sponge monthly? Great and

well, I mean tight water,and is a bullfrogs butt water tight?
Yeah, that's I still don't knowhow that's that's okay, Well do they
sink if it wasn't water tight?No, that's because of the buoyancy.

(02:14:31):
Oh yeah, okay, like saltwater, say salt water and your your
local in your local, uh buyyou? Okay, there's a salt waters
and bodies. That's exactly my point. I'm just saying bullfrogs are buoyant.
The buoyancy. Yeah, you knowit helps, you know, it helps
buoyancy. Okay, unplug a boat, the little canoes and just let water

(02:14:52):
put a hole in the bottom ofwhat's gonna happen. It's gonna sink because
the buoyancy goes away because of thewater. Well, if the bullfrogs but

The boy not because of an airtype buffle. Yeah. Yeah,
So back to you, and Itied back to John Mayor. I don't

(02:15:13):
know, but you know what,just go hey, Brian, just be
happy for him. How long hasthis been going on? I don't know.
But just be happy for him forver. Maybe they got bored with
zoids. Who knows, they're anaffectionate friendship. You can never get bored

uh, the old throwback where it'slike, what do we call it?
Uh? What's that? What's thevintage? Little vintage shirt? Is zoids
or vantage? Aren't they? JohnJohn Mayer has a song called Your Body
is a Wonderland? Is he talkingabout Andy Cohen's body? Maybe it might

(02:16:00):
be for him? I thought Ithought John Mayer pulled like anything and everything
that moved female side he does.Apparently I didn't know Andy Cohen was.
Dude, you don't know? Imean, I mean, can you just
be happy for I am good forJohn Mayor and Andy Cohen exactly? John
Mayor forty six, Andy Cohen fiftyfive. I guess he likes him an

(02:16:22):
older man, John Mayer, who'solder Andy Cohen. Cohen's older than Mayor.
Yeah, so's he's uh going afterwhat a filth or a milf?
Right? No, no, no, a cougar? Oh father? Or

(02:16:43):
is he the one of the fatherthat was a mother? Yeah? I
get what that is. A milfis an acronym for a mother. I'm
saying, no, So you're talkingabout an older woman. Yeah, as
a cougar. So, a dude, is, when does cougar become a
puma? Is that? What's next? Doesn't a puma puma's younger than a
cougar? Is it? Yeah?I would isn't it doesn't go? Isn't

(02:17:03):
a puma before cougar? Cougar before? Aging? Lyon, I don't know
what the hell's next? What thehell's next? Okay, here's the feline
scale. I went to the gospelreal quick. Hen what is that?
The Yeah, puma, you're right, Yeah, puma is considered age thirty
to thirty nine. Cougar is fortyto forty nine. A jaguar is fifty

(02:17:24):
to fifty Come jaguars. A pantheris sixty to sixty eight. Man,
that's according to Urban Dick Share.What those panthers are bringing it? What's
out of the panther? Jaguar jackfifty fifty to fifty nine. Yeah,
So basically you're saying Cohen's a jaguar? Is that what that is? A
cougar and a jaguar? What doyou get when you cross a cougar in

(02:17:46):
a jaguar? Cuter jag? JohnMayer, I don't know I did.
I mean, do you hate ordo you appreciate? Or is this somewhere
between? Which one? Is it? You're bum that it wasn't you?
Okay, dude, you had acrush on Mayor though I've noticed that.
All right, here we go.I told you, I told you years
ago he was over rated. You'relike who you're I told about? You

(02:18:09):
go over rated for the women.So for the women, it's a feline
scale, right, So for menit's a canine scale. Okay, all
right, so, uh, agethirty to thirty nine, it's coyote.
But if you ever notice it,for the men, you're just always a
dog, right exactly? That arejust always so age thirty to thirty nine,
you're considered a coyote. Okay,you need a pack of people with

(02:18:31):
you if you're a coyote. Surewhere that goes. They don't fight alone,
no, they do not. Ageforty to forty nine is a husky.
This is stupid. That's when you'reyou're most handsome, beautiful eyes different
silver back. Yeah right, thehair starts to gray up a little bit
with the salt and peppa, andthen you get to age fifty to fifty
nine, you're a silver fox.Oh yeah, then you're really like that's
the guy you see on the commercial. That's like, you know, that's

(02:18:54):
that's really, says any Cohen.Yeah, but he's really great up the
hair back. Yeah, there yougo, maybe slicking it back. Who's
that's the uh. Man, we'vetalked about him for a really good actor.
He's got the full head of hairthat he slicks back. It's gray.
I'll look it up. In betweenwere talking about it before it I
can't even remember. Dang it man, Uh fifty to fifty nine is silver
fox, eg Andy Garcia, he'dbe sixty the older seventy age sixty to

(02:19:16):

So maybe they were having a whitewine sprinzer together. I don't know.

(02:23:01):
Yeah they did date, that's right, I mean yeah. Taylor Swift
reportedly repeatedly has caught out John Mayorfor hurting her in their short lived relationship.
Maybe she found out he likes dudes. I don't know. Acts could
be, could be could be.Let's get to this athletic article real quick
on the textans. So they dida draft based on projections over the next
three years. Okay, Patrick Mahomesnumber one. Let's see if two would

(02:23:26):
be. I'm gonna say two wouldbe Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow was drafted
eighth. Wow. Probably the durabilitythat concerns him a little bit. Lamar
Jackson's in your top five. LamarJackson was drafted three. Josh Allen top
five. Josh Allen was drafted two. Okay, so we got four and

(02:23:50):
five. Strouds five. Stroud isfive. So they say over the next
three years, so that eliminates AaronRodgers two In Rogers, yep, not
on this line. I'm gonna tellyou, I bet you they put in
there at number four. I'm justgonna guess on this one. I'm gonna
say either Trevor Lawrence or Justin Herbert. Justin Herbert number four. Trevor Lawrence

(02:24:11):
was number seven, Dak Prescott numbersix, Joe Burrow eight, Jordan Love
nine, Caleb Williams ten, Mattstaff How does Matt Stafford get on this
list? But Aaron Rodgers doesn't Well, Stafford's well, yeah, you're talking
about age, right, Yeah,that sounds about right here. That's a
mad question. Matt Stafford number eleven, Anthony Richardson twelve, Drake May thirteen,
Jalen Hurts fourteen, Kyler Murray fifteen. This is Hurts is awful low

(02:24:35):
for a guy that was a lothigher a year ago, and I for
three years. I get it becauseif it was one year, that list
would change because you wouldn't take KaylebWilliams in one year because Chicago's still on
their trying to get their game right. Yeah, but I do. I
don't have a problem with the firstfour different. I think Burrow's too low.
I do. If Burrow wasn't injured, they Burrow would be your number

(02:24:58):
two, and Josh Allen would beprobably three, Lamar four, and who
else was in there? Patrick Mahomesone, Josh Allen two, Lamar Jackson,
Justin Herbert, C. J.Stroud, Dak Prescott, Trevor Lawrence,
Joe Burrow, Jordan Love. Yeah, the top five I'm good with
other than I think Burrow's too low. Yeah, but I get yeah,

(02:25:20):
Joe Burrow behind, Trevor Lawrence andDak Prescott no thanks, But durability has
got You've got. Joe's got toprove that he can roll three straight years
healthy and that's been a problem.If he's healthy, this is a no
brainer. He's the top five.But I don't have a problem with it.
And C J. Stroud in oneyear elevated to that. I would
have taken him there too. Ibelieve he's in the top five. Great.

(02:25:41):
The list all the way down toa dozen is pretty impressive in this
league for frontline quarterbacks. Yeah,I think that that's a that's a really
good list. I know we're onlyin May. Yeah, but just looking
ahead to the season, there aretwo teams that really intrigue me outside of
the Houston Texans, and it's JoeBurrow returning to the Bengals healthy, and
then and Justin Herbert with a newhead coach with the Charger. I'll say

(02:26:03):
a third one that intrigued. Balljust wins everywhere he goes. Yeah,
and they're gonna line up physical,They're going to take some pressure off Justin
Herbert happened to be the guy inevery I mean John, I mean Jim
does not want to throw it fortytimes what he'd like to do is mix
in, you know, throw itthirty thirty times, thirty one, thirty
two times and run it more andnot have to have Herbert make every play

(02:26:24):
for them to win and get thenwhen you get down to the goal line,
Austin Eckler in the past, getit. They're gonna run it,
They're gonna build an offensive line,they're going to be physical. And now
they've got a quarterback who's got accuracyand has got every tool you want,
and he just finally has a headcoach that gets it a little more than
the previous head coach. So Ithink it's a good hire. And Justin

(02:26:45):
Herbert's a hell of a player,and you'll get it physical. I'll tell
you can add another team to that. I am curious or player the elevation.
I want to know what the skywhat it looks like for Jordan Love
on a good team with now anotheryear under his belt, because I've seen
flashes of oh my gosh, inessence he played. He was a rookie
last year right because he got spottime and really wasn't getting a chance to

(02:27:07):
do it. Now he's had somemoments, but he really was as far
as well as far as game started. He was a rookie and you saw
what he did and you saw somereally really brilliant football out of him.
It's it, But you can't helpbut say, Okay, what's going to
go on with Joe Burrow and theCincinnati Bengals now if he comes back a
full season of health. So I'mwith you and I agree with both.

(02:27:31):
The Chargers are an overly extreme Imean, they're in a very intriguing team
because we keep talking about their potentialand then an injury here and a player
there, and they can't get itall together. If they can stay healthy,
and they get a coach who makesbetter game time decisions when the game
is on the line, in gamedecisions than Staley did and you do with
Jim Harbaugh. I think the intriguingLos Angeles with the Charges is pretty impressive

(02:27:54):
as well. And you know you'rechasing Mahomes and the Chiefs and how long
can the Chiefs continue to saying thisgreatness of staying hungry every year and still
dominating you pretty impressive? Really?Is? Yeah? Excuse me? Willing
to see? Uh if it,if it wasn't just a quote unquote flash
in the pan, I saw anarticle did Jordan Love? Oh yeah,

(02:28:15):
I saw the thing the other daybasically talking kind of echoing the same sentiments
you were talking about, where hewas essentially just a rookie this past season.
I mean, in reality's not arookie, but finally getting full time,
playing full playing time. It's histeam, and it could be a
quote unquote sophomore slump for him.And I'm like, man, I don't
know if it was just a flashin the pan for him. I've seen

(02:28:37):
too much skill. His performance.The way he plays doesn't say flash in
the pan. These weren't throwing intotriple coverage and some guy coming up with
a catch. I thought he wasmore methodical than I think people thought he'd
be, meaning surgical, I guessis a better way to put it.
I think he's an enormous time.I'm going to tell you right now,
brother, he's in for some hugemoney. If that did, what's he

(02:29:00):
This is the last year of hisdeal, I believe. So Yeah,
if Jordan Love hits like we thinkhe can, you're looking at a friggin
huge, huge deal too. IsI think agreed two is about to get
paid? Buddy? Do you knowI heard a report and saw one that
has him making two hundred and twentymillion dollars for four years. What I

(02:29:24):
saw out of Miami a report thattalking about report that's fifty five million dollars
a year on average. That I'mtelling you, if that's where the standard
bear is for Tua and God blesshim. If it's in that range,
If that's where we're at now withquarterbacks, and Jordan Love plays good this

(02:29:45):
year, look out, and what'sgoing to happen when Stroud comes along?
Dude, she's gonna get paid ifhis assent continues. Well, what's going
to happen with him? If twois going to make fifty fifty five million
bucks? I saw a report froma from a guy who's a respected person
in South Florida that said they weretalking about four years at two twenty.

(02:30:09):
That averages out the fifty five millionbucks a year. So that'll be a
lot of guaranteed money he's currently making. He's still on his first round deal,
yeah he is. So he's currentlymaking around twenty three mil and he's
gonna go on. That's more thandouble his salary when you talk about bonuses

(02:30:31):
and all that, but it averagesout that's four years, two twenty.
I want you to think about thatfor a second and then think about Jordan
Love and c. J. Stroudand what they're in for. Yeah,
dude, when's Burrel's contract come up? Yeah? Here it is, to
a tongue of Ioloa could be anticipatingin a contract that would range between four

(02:30:52):
and five years at two hundred andtwenty million with over one hundred million guaranteed.
What year's this for Burl? Wasthis? This fourth year? Was
this Joe Burrel's fourth year? Twentynineteen? Was that big season? Right?
So twenty Yeah, he signed thatmassive I think that's exactly right.
He got his extension. That's right. That's five years. Wasn't it last

(02:31:13):
year going into the last off season? It was? It was actually when
he was yeah, last off season. That's right. Okay, Well,
and he'll be in line for anotherbig one if he if it works out
a matter of fact, what they'lldo now if he plays great football,
stay healthy for couples, they justripped the thing up and add to it,
you know what I'm saying, restructureit. But that's right, he

(02:31:33):
got the close to three hundred milr YEA two hunred nineteen and that was
guaranteed. There you go, that'she already got his so but Love and
Stroud. I know there are waysaway, But man, dude, you're
looking if two is going to makefifty five million a year, look out
with the words headed what the hell? It's good to be a quarterback in
the NFL, buddy, Yeah,and a good one. My goodness.
All right, let's look at theHouston Astros. They got to continue to

This is an green green Southbury continuesnow Sports Talk seven ninety huh for your
Rockets, Pitchers ballpark at Co America. Yeah, because it's massive, unlike

(02:33:46):
the old ballpark, Old Tiger Stadium, we were talking about a short porch.
You hit balls in Old Tiger Stadiumin right field. It hit the
upper It hit the upper deck beforeit hit the lower level. You know,
at one point in time Detroit,back in al Caline's days, it
was like four forty five or fourfifty in center field. They called it
was death Valley didn't Isn't that thestadium that Reggie Jackson hit the transformer on

(02:34:07):
And all reason the ball stopped isbecause of the transformer stadium versus doc Ellis.
If I'm not mistaken, seventy oneAll Star Game, hit it off
the transmitter in right center field,I asked Reggie in person. We're in
Milwaukee at the All Star Game,watching home run derby and sitting out there
in the restaurant beyond the left fieldwhere the balls are pounding the plexiglass in
the restaurant right and I was sittingthere with Reggie, and I said,

(02:34:31):
tell me about that, and hegoes, it was on his ascent,
he said, when he hit itwas on his way up. Yeah,
when it hit the transmitter and andwent out of the you know, hit
the transmitter above. I mean,are the balls it was supposed to It
would have hit the parking lot.Yeah, and he was talking about that.
It just sounded different. So,yeah, he caught a fastball or

(02:34:52):
whatever it was from Doc Ellis.But I believe that was a seventy one
All Star game and it was atransmitter and they show where the ball hit
it. So talk about tape measurejobs. And Reggie was strong as four
oxes man, but we were talkingabout it in person, his eyes light
up. So that was an impressiveswing in the bat. Yeah, the
tide, but this Tiger Stadium's pitchersfront pitcher friendly, and you've got six
pitchers, three on both sides startingit are all pretty damn good. And

(02:35:16):
he's not as dangerous being a flyball pitcher like a Verlander or like a
Christian Javier or from were obviously youknow he's gonna make you small ball and
most of the time. So it'sgonna be interesting. Advantage Astro's lineup normally,
but I wouldn't take the Tigers lineupfor granted. Plus, you know,
familiarity you'll help in this series aswell. But you've got to have

(02:35:37):
to make pitches, as Dana Brownwas telling us on Wednesday, and you're
gonna have to get timely hits becausewhat you don't want to do is walk
out of this getting beat by smallball and the Tigers, you know,
in this series and taken away fromwhat you did yesterday, which was an
impressive win even though there was somestruggles through it. Character tester yesterday and
now you got extended on the road. Christian Xavier on the mount tomorrow.

(02:35:58):
Yeah, i'ming back from his neckinjury or discomfort. Anxious to see how
much where the leashes for Christian Javiercoming off that. Yep, so excited
to get him back, see howhe does. I would assume hopefully getting
him through five, get him throughsix, that would be that would be
great, as long as the earlypitch counts down and they don't fall behind

(02:36:20):
early in the game. And thenhe got Justin Verlander on. That'll be
really cool for Verlander being it's backto where he was started his Hall of
Fame career, right Justin Verlander.Call America, Joey low Perfido. I

(02:36:41):
