Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Saulisbury, oh by Houston. Okay, let's do this. Sewn Salisbury,
the USC Truths, longtime friend,Shawn Salisbury, Bryan Lima, go Lobos.
This is the Seawan Salisbury Show Championships. Shawn from the sixty one nine

(00:27):
San Diego State guy from the sixthHis caddy was a college teammate of his,
has been caddying for him, andgood for him. That's a three,
you know, second place in thattournament. Won one point nine nine
million dollars in uh Bryson Deschambeau.That's it. Yeah, he won three
point three. But more importantly,he gets the wanta make a trophy in

(00:47):
his first major. Hell, whata weekend for him. Twenty one hundred
part is the lowest major total ingolf history. Wow, think about those
names in mine in a major,in one of the four majors. It's
the lowest four day score to parin major tournament hit in major golf history,
which is phenomenal. And Xander hadwon one and so he did that.

(01:10):
Remember he shot sixty two in theopening day and two guys shot sixty
two over the weekend. Him andI mean well over the tournament. He
was one of them. And anothersixty two. I think Shane Lowry shot
sixty two as well, so that'sfive times in major championship tournament sixty two
has been shot. But a greatwin for Shaffle, a clutch putt to
win it, dude, d Chambeau, you know they've been their clubs different

(01:33):
way like his his. I thinkhis eight iron has been at you know,
twenty eight degrees. Were like,if you're playing a pitching wedge,
that's around forty eight degrees, soyou know it's in a nine iron,
what forty two forty four degrees aneight iron like at eight he Ben's like
twenty eight degrees. Dude, hehit a two hundred and thirty yard eight
iron yesterday. He's hitting five woodsthree hundred yards and it's nineteen degrees.

(01:55):
It's unfair. It's well, you'replaying a whole different game. You're on
a on a three shot hole,you're hitting you're hitting driver short iron into
greens. It's stupid, it's unfair. And he got a great break on
the eighteenth hole. Hit it snow, I mean drew it into the trees,
it bounced back in the fairway,hits it close, makes Bertie and

(02:15):
it just uh, I mean hethen he had to get it, get
it down there, and then hechipped it up close made Bertie. But
good for Xander showfle a first major. I was really happy for him.
The family was there. I alwayslike guys. You know that he has
been a great player for a hellof a good run, but he's never
been able to close it out.And he's played really well in the two

(02:38):
majors issues, So that was greatto see man and I always like seeing
guys win their first one. Hewas, he was phenomenal the whole weekend.
He well, he was, hewas. He was a wire to
wire, started leading it on Thursdayand didn't relinquish that lead or you know,
there was a tie at times,but he had to lead the whole
time and then closed it out withgreat golf and great putting over the weekend

(03:00):
twenty one under part that sounds likeyou're playing out in Palm Desert in a
regular turn, not at Valhalla,which is no joke. You're talking about
two hundred and fifty six yard parthrees. I mean, it's a nasty
but because it rained, the conditionswere soft for them, and you know,
even though they weren't getting as muchrolled out the first two days on
those long drives when you can vomit. Three twenty and Victor Hovelin had a

(03:23):
hell of a day. He justcouldn't make that final putt and to get
it to you know, to getto twenty under, and then he missed
another one to get the eighteen.But congrats Xander Shoffele. It's great.
I love watching guys and their success. And you can see how many people
were happy for him, tour playerswaiting around to greet him, so that's
always a good thing. Mad respectfor him and the Astros. I'm gonna

(03:45):
tell you something, Brian. Wehad a lot of ifs going in and
they're starting to answer some ifs.Right if Bregman gets hot, if the
back end of the bullpen, ifthey have clutch hitting, which they're starting
to get. I believe. Ithink the Astros they're gonna in this division
after all this. Look how quicklythey closed the gap from twelve or thirteen

(04:10):
games under five hundred and eight anda half games out of first place.
They're four out now. And Iknow what, you can give me a
weak division or not. You stillgot to work to and look around baseball
there's four teams in the East thatgot a better you know, winning percentage
in them. There's four more teamsin the Central or something, two teams
in the West. I'm just tellingyou, if they stay healthy, you

(04:35):
know, they're leading their league inbatting average. They've pretty much been at
the top as far as that allseason long. And Kyle Tucker's having a
monster year. You know, hewent opo with a home run. He
won the right center as the firstone right center in an opposite field because
it was getting close. Now theygot to a bray. You arraghetti did

(04:58):
a nice shot. He's a goodhe's grinding his ass off, gave you
a lot of innings and sent somepitches yesterday and then a bray you couldn't
quite you know, get it donethe way he wanted to, and they
close that gap. And then hecomes up and pumps the three. Was
it a three run job into theIt was six to four, and I
think he hit the three was athree run home where he hit the opposite

(05:19):
field. The guy's just having them. For a guy who's got a long,
sweeping swing, he gets through thehitting zone so damn quick, right,
Yeah, normally that's reserved for guys. But he just when he finally
gets even though it's a it's alittle longer swing from when his hands get
through the zone, he is justand he's hitting line drives for home runs
too, So on top of theball, it's just they're going to win

(05:42):
this division. So all the thingsthat you know, you question are they
going to pick it up the rightposition of picking up And it's still Yourdon's
still not raking, but they hadan eight or nine I've got nine home
run weekend. I mean extra basehits were in the twenties. I mean
they are. Jake Myers is playingreally good baseball. Yeah, Jake Myers

(06:02):
might be as of right now,he might be player of the month.
He's also maybe the most in theAL as an everyday player. He's the
most surprising player on this team rightnow, the way he's the act we
didn't have. People didn't want himto start in his expectations and now look,
McCormick's been hurt, so you haven'thad him for depth. But you're
getting little Brafito to play well.You know, Singleton's doing some things,

(06:23):
and Jordon's still not Jordon yet.I'm just they're good. They're they're gonna
win this division. After all thiscraziness, they are still going to come
back and they're still gonna win thisdivision. You watch because pitching's starting to
come to fruition the bullpen, eventhough Bray you had a little struggles there.
And Scott, uh what's his name? Uh is Tyler Scott Taylor Scott,

(06:46):
Yeah, yeah, he he is. You want to talk about a
surprise this year, I mean leaningon him in games, he was warming
up when the game was within tworuns, and then they get the big
hit and he comes in. Imean, it's just impressive, impressive getting
back into and I don't feel,like I said, who they play.

(07:09):
We said they had to come inand win series, and they were dominating
these series. Now and the Angelscome to town tonight and it's they needed
the game ground here and they're doingit. They're only four games out and
they haven't played their best baseball yet, but they're gonna hit as they always
do, and the power bats arealive and well, thank you, And
like I said, with the damnnear a double digit home run weekend and

(07:31):
our series, should I say,and here you go? There are four
don't look now there are four gamesout of first place. They will win
this division. You watch, Yeah, let's see er Getty six and a
third, seven hits, four earnedruns, two walks, six k's.
Yesterday got himself into the seventh inningand then Brian Bray gets out of it

(07:53):
after giving up a couple hits,and like you said, Taylor Scott two
innings, one hit, two k's. Can you guess what Taylor Scott is
down to I'm gonna say between twoand three one point nine to six.
For a guy who's been on likeseven teams in his baseball in his career,
it's like every he's averaging like ateam and a half a year,

(08:15):
it feels. I mean, ifI'm not mistaken, he's been, he's
been, He's he's epitomized his journeyman. And look what he's doing here.
He's been with the Mariners, theBaltimore, Orioles, San Diego Padres,
Los Angeles, Dodgers, Boston,Oakland, Houston and how many years you
know? Seven? Okay, sohe's averaging a team a year. He's

(08:37):
seven years, seven teams, andhe's saving his best for the seventh one
Lucky seven because he's pitching really well, what a surprise. He's been pleasant.
I just you know, with allthat, and I know people are
like, well, they're done.We're looking forward to next year. And
I know people are gonna say,well, let's when we get the Yankee.
When you play the good teams,I get it. But this team

(08:58):
now is starting to are doing whateverybody expected. They just continue to prove
there's relentless as any team I've everseen it. Just they are getting rolled.
Verlander did not have a great startover a week and you know,
they got beat once, but theyyou know, Milwaukee's a good team and
they were they they are allowed.Their bats are live, alive and well,

(09:20):
and the rest of baseball, Iguarantee you, the rest of baseball
is taking notice over especially in theAmerican League. What's going on with this
team right now? Yeah, theAstros just yesterday Shawn fourteen hits. Yeah.
Every time I'm sitting there watching byworking around the house and getting stuff
done in the yard and putting newtiki torches up. And I'm telling you,

(09:41):
every time you look up, justwhen they start to creep back,
boom, double double, home run, gapper, take an extra base,
boom, you know, drive ina run. It just it was and
Kyle Tucker comes to play. You'regetting to the point now where you're like,
dude, don't throw them a strikeand don't throw him a strek down

(10:01):
low where he can barrel it up. And he just You wanted to ask
if he was gonna get paid.Yeah, he's gonna get paid. Yeah.
I know he's still got a yearto go after this, but I'm
telling you he's gonna get paid.He And speaking of getting paid, Zan
you said Xander Schaffle made a couplemillion bucks three million winning three point three

(10:24):
three point three he won, winningthe PGA Championship. Uh brand Uh not
Brandon, Bryce and d Chambeau winningthe money he did so for Xander Schoffle.
He wins that tournament, has hiscollege teammate as his caddie family there,
winning the PGA Championship and at theend of the day, he didn't
go to jail. Whoa is that? Is that really where you're going with

(10:48):
this? How about Scheffler coming backout getting to be in the top ten
after his Saturday performance where you werelike, he couldn't make anything, couldn't
hit it, and then he comesout there and shoots what sixty five ors?
It puts himself in the top ten. I'm telling you a major watching
some of the shots I saw overthe weekend, from guys like Billy horseel
to to uh Victor Hovelin, Andlike I said, D Chambeau, how

(11:11):
many people come to the no AndI know, like I said, they
bend him normally, But how manypeople come to the to a golf course
and when they show like where you'resupposed to aim, they hit the ball
like they're hitting the ball to placesyou're not the normal human being immortal can't
hit it? Hey, what hegot? He always two thirty? D

(11:31):
shamba? What's he hitting eight iron? What? Dude? Two thirty?
Tell me you're not. You're you'reputting a three wood in your hand five
probably if it's no win, probablya five wood. Yeah, And like
I'm thinking, you're thinking probably hittingdri seven iron from like, oh it's
two forty one, what's there?Two forty three? What's he got?

(11:52):
Oh he's hitting seven iron and it'snot down wind, and well he's doing
what yeah, seven iron and he'she's just gonna a nice smooth swing.
You're like seven iron the normal humanbeings try to pump a hard three wood
if it's said or a or ayou know, smoke it. I mean
you're on four iron. What's hegot? Always two seventy's hitting four iron?

(12:15):
What? Yeah? That's so dude. It just it really is.
They bring golf courses to their knees. Do you know that golf course played
from Saturday to Sunday. On oneof the holes, they moved it back
fifty yards That golf course was playingseventy six hundred plus yards? Wow,
and shot flay shot seventy I meantwenty one hunder par for four days.

(12:37):
I understand, but listen, Idon't care how your club's degrees are bent.
That you got a twenty eight degreeeight eight iron, you still got
a flat and he square it upand hit it. You still got to
hit it. I just when Iwatched those cats play, I'm tell the
way they can move the ball anyway, Hey, where do you want this?
Well? You know what, justmissing about six feet above and let
it hit off the backstop and feedbackto the flagsta can I'll be damned?

(13:01):
And then where they can play outof place? You can't even see your
ball and they're hitting five iron outof it and getting it close to the
green so they can and if they'rewithin one hundred yards and they got a
and they missed by six feet,they're there. I mean they expect to
damn near. And how many ballswere hold out this weekend. I'm talking
about guys throwing it. I meanthey throw friggin darts. Yeah, and
when you go out, you can'tyou can't appreciate it enough until you watch

(13:24):

(24:03):
Yeah, life puts in his perspective, man, when something like this
happens man, and we've really gotour part own back late Saturday night and
uh yeah, it's uh really putsa lot of stuff in perspective when you't
think about it like that. Anyway, let's talk about these throws. Sure
does. Man, there's some peoplethat are still without power too, so
hopefully they're okay. You don't knowhow now said this is you hear you

(24:27):
on his crazy voices man? AnyhYeah, so on this on this Friday
thing, I was hearing the DanBrown was gonna go ahead and move a
brave back into the into the lineup, and I just really think it's it's
it's it's gonna be a bad situationbecause you know, all that uh,

(24:48):
all that failure brings a lot ofawkwardness through the crowd, through the team.
I think because I've I've been onI've been on teams not into this
kind of calibery of course, butI've been on teams with guys are struggling
and you said buy him and youdon't even want to say anything, Jim.
You don't want to talk to him, You don't want to do anything
because you know, you just don'tknow what what what words are the right
words to you? Even tell theguy, especially within a season long slip

(25:11):
like this guy's going through. AndI just feel that just even Singles worked
his butt off to you know,provide some kind of some kind of you
know, popping that lineup and dosomething that rather than just fail, I
just feel like it's a step backwards. You know, we're gonna see a
lot about learn about Joe spot Onthis week. Hey, Rogers's going to

(25:32):
be a manager, Roger, You'renot gonna learn anything about that this week.
He's not even playing in games downthere. He's just taking live VP.
They haven't even they haven't even namedannounced his return. You may not
see him for thirty forty five sixtyyears. You're not seeing him anytime soon.
He's not coming back whatever whatever heheard on Friday. He's not in

(25:53):
the lineup. He's not even takingHe's not playing games right now, at
least to my knowledge. The lastnight he was coming out, Yeah,
coming No, so Roger. Hetakes. He got a couple of at
bats against the f C l Astros, which is the developmental like rookie ball
league down in West Palm, andhe could come back against the A's later

(26:15):
on this week. But he wouldhave to go and get some Triple A
minor league at bats before that.And I've also yeah that that he's done
anything, but didn't somebody ask Joea spot about when he could be ready
and it may and he's and theycouldn't give an answer. Yeah, he
didn't. And then Dana Brown.We've got the audio. We can play
it next segment. But Dana Brownspoke yesterday, so we'll play that just

(26:38):
to keep everybody out. But he'snot gonna be danger. He's gonna come
back. Man. That's good tohear, because we're clicking. Man,
We're clicking. We're clicking, man, We're we're we're doing our thing.
And as far as the hunter Brownversus fer Irrigett, I don't think that's
much of a decision at all.He stick under Brown in the in the
mid relief or the bullpen and helifts get to start. Man. That's

(27:00):
that's just my feeling, all right, guys, I have a good one.
Appreciate as well. Yeah, Imean I thought that we we said
it on here. Man, youcannot take Singleton out of that line.
If yet, I don't think theythey're not in any danger. In the
next anytime soon of a brak youstart in at first base. I wouldn't
think unless something drastic between now nextweekend happens, I don't see it,

(27:22):
you right, No, I don't. He may come back and join the
club and they gonna start I wouldhope not. And I don't mean that's
respectfully as well as like what,but most of his time down there is
spent just on live beachcause live atbats and then over the last I think
a couple just recing me over theweekend, right, That's what I'm saying.
Heading into the weekend there was hewasn't playing in games. So even

(27:45):
if he comes back, I can'timagine they may get him way. I
can't imagine that they're going to pencilhim in as the starter. And they
couldn't give an exact timeline when hecomes back, So that tells me they
were still a minute away. Yeah, So seven one two five seven ninety
Robert, Welcome in, Good morning, guys. Hey real quick, that

(28:06):
looks seem uh he's getting more morecomfortable at first base too. He's he's
got a little soft touch on hisfeet and he's picking some balls. That's
not why I called, though,this is probably gonna be the worst call
this morning. No, no,no, no, no, no,
It's good for you, Brian.You know what. I get upset Sean
sometimes because of his reactions to SoulRoss. But here's the deal. What
sorry about soul I called the SoulRoss Stana said it's one of the great

(28:30):
junior colleges of all time. I'mkidding nothing about respect. Yeah, I'm
kind of kidding. But I didwant to call him because last week,
I'm in Virginia. I'm from Houstonand prayers to man people dealing with the
weather. But I go to acourthouse every day and to do to do
research, and I'm I'm getting toknow these these deputies, the sheriff's deputies

(28:52):
at the front. And he foundout just through talking that I'm from Texas.
He said, oh my gosh,you need to learn about this.
One of the greatest Texans of alltime name guy named Joaquin Jackson, and
Joauquem Jackson is from Alpine, Texas. He was a Texas ranger. Look
this guy up. He was unbelievable. But and he and he got so

(29:15):
excited this this deputy here in Virginiagot to know him and just that he
was a real humble person. Butthe things that he did in his career,
I'm not trying to get political,but he spent a lot of time
protecting the border in West Texas andjust did some things that I don't have
the guts to do. I'll tellyou that. But and do y'all know

(29:37):
Johnny Rodriguez, this country artist.Uh I've heard, yeah, I heard
the name. Yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah so walk Uh, mister
Jackson was in a and he passedaway in twenty sixteen, was in a
in a prison working in some capacity, and he heard this guy singing all
the time. He said, man, this guy's pretty good. And and
and Joaquin Jackson told his music promoterBuddy and got Johnny Rodriguez kind of started

(30:06):
on his career. Pretty cool storyas well. But but yeah, so
I think if we can just adjustour attitude around Soul Ross, there's a
lot of good things there. Ibring up. I bring up the domination
of Soul Ross State more than hehad the I'm talking about. Ron started
putting some respect, a little morerespect on Soul Ross the the state.

Welcome in, John, Hey,good morning guys. What's happening to me?

(37:07):
Yeah? Hey, I just wantedto say, you know, I've
watched every game that you know onthis homestand and I don't know what it
is. It just seems like aswitch has flipped on. I mean,
suddenly these astros look like they're enjoyingplaying and uh and and it's just a
whole different attitude on his team.And I like what I'm seeing. I

(37:28):
mean, our middle relief and reliefis like really settled in. I think
things have just really settled down.And uh again, they just seem to
be enjoying themselves. I mean thefirst month, I mean, they just
look like they didn't even want tobe out there for you know, and
now it's just the whole different changein attitude. I don't know what happened.
I don't know if there was somepep talk or they told the Spotted

(37:49):
to get his houses in order orwhat, but they just seem like a
change team. And I like whatI'm seeing. And I think if this
continues, I think They're going tobe all right. I think they can
make the playoffs. But I justI've just seen a good turnaround and uh
just the attitude and the whole demeanorof the team. And I like what
I'm seeing right now. Hey,John, I'll tell you what happens.
Why they all of a sudden,they're the attitude. Things have changed.

(38:12):
When you start hitting, hitting andgetting people out, everybody's you know,
whether it's a speech or not.But they started to really do their thing.
And boy, it sure makes comingto work a little different, doesn't
it. Well, it does.I mean, it's I'm you know,
it's great to see Bregman back.Yeah. Man, he's had a great
he's got had a great homestand andyou're right, I mean certain key players

(38:35):
that we've been waiting to turn itaround. They have. And uh now
if you or I can just getout of his and I think we're going
to be in great shape. II you know again, and the pitching
seems a lot more solid. Iagain, I just think things have settled
down and they're kind of settled inand dialed in and and uh so again
it looks good, looks good.I've liked what I've seen, and they've

(38:57):
gone against some really you're like Oaklandand Milwaukee. Mean, you know,
they had some good pitching. Imean there's a good relief corps with the
open staff as well, and theAstros were able to tough out these wins.
And I think it's I think it'sgreat, and it's great what we're
saying. Appreciate the call, Johntrue story. Let's get to one more
before we get to the top ofthe hour. Jason, good morning,

(39:20):
Good morning fellas. How are y'alltoday? We're great? Man. Like
I was telling my in laws andall my family members who are a bunch
of Astros fans, just wind adivision in your in That's all you gotta
do. Just win the division.But I wanted to ask y'all this question,
what do you think the idiot sittingin front of Kyle Tucker arbitration is

(39:44):
gonna say when he's trying to convincepeople that Kyle Tucker don't deserve that money,
probably gonna say he's the reason KyleTucker played well. So spot there
is based on uh, I gottaask you know, because a lot of

(40:05):
people wanted Kara to stay, alot of people wanted Springer to stay.
Jim Crane is going to have tostart thinking about this team in the future.
I mean, because Kyle Tucker isa guy you you don't let walk.
So I mean, I'm optimistic,want to stay optimistic. But can
we trust Jim Crane in this situation? Trust him? How you mean to
pay him the money he's gonna ask, like, pay that, man,

(40:29):
I mean, don't lowball. Whatwould you pay him me personally? Yeah,
if you had, if you were, if you were the owner.
I don't like the ten year deals, but I would definitely give him at
least an eight year three hundred million. Eight years at three hundred million.
Okay, I mean, but I'mnot the GM and I'm not the owner,

(40:50):
but I think he's worth at leasteight years three hundred million. I
do. Yeah, he's going toget it somewhere. It'd be great if
it was here, wouldn't it beso long? Not the age? These
are the Dodgers. I'm good.There you go, buddy, appreciate the
call. Jason, Yeah, wellman, thank you. Let's get into
these seven o'clock hour. Continue thisdiscussion on Kyle Tucker and also I tease

(41:59):
It's who they are, no matterwhat you're buying, how much you're spending,

(43:07):
ol okay, let's do this.Sean Salisbury there to usc troue. Longtime
friend, Shawn Salisbury, Brian Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sewan
Salisbury Show. Xander Schaffle wins thePGA Championship. Dana Brown yesterday spoke with

(43:32):
Robert Ford on the pregame show beforethe one ten Startney spoke about jose of
Bray you coming back to the bigleague club. This is what the general
manager had to say. Yeah,The good thing is, we just talked
to Jeff Bagwell last night. Uhit was me Joe right before the game.

(43:52):
Uh. In fact, uh meJoe a spot in Jeff Bagwell.
We had a conversation because Jeff wasdown there where with him for a couple
of days. I know he's beendown there working with Renee and so ultimately
he's doing, you know, doingwell, making some adjustments. There's a
chance we could see him back forthe Oakland series. We're gonna give him

(44:13):
a few more games, either downthere or maybe potentially in Triple A.
Get him two games and you know, travel the off day up to Oakland
and maybe we'll see him back onFriday. But you know, he's making
some adjustments and that's a good thing. Bagwell gave a really good report on
him. He's starting to get hishands loaded, his timing is back,

(44:35):
and we'd like to see him playa little bit more and really fine tune
it all. Right. So that'sAstro's general manager, Dana Brown. So
gonna give him some at bats,seems like in Triple A and then bring
it back up to the club.But he didn't didn't really specify what it
would look like when he does getback to the club. I just me
personally, I don't see how youbring him back up and put him in

(44:55):
the lineup. I don't think thatthere's a rush needed, do you.
No, there's not at all.I don't think you need to rush this
at all because of what's going on. If you think he is getting close
to being ready, what's wrong withwaiting a few extra days. There's no
point. Yeah, get him allthe work he needs, because hell,
who knows, he could end upbeing a you know, a nice bench

(45:21):
guy, and if he rakes,then you know, you put him in
there if somebody goes through a slump. But I don't, And it's not
like he's going to disrupt this becausehe's been a good teammate. He just
hasn't been a productive one this year. So I just don't. I don't
know the rush. It's like forme if if he if you're not one
hundred percent sure that that whole thing'sback with him swinging the bat with bat

(45:45):
speed and timing, then then I'dhold off until you are ready. If
you're in seventy five or eighty percentthinking okay, he's close. Major League
Baseball, Major League pitching can bringyou back down and humble you. And
I would imagine he's been humbled,but I would wait until he is so
you see it unequivocally that this guybelongs back on a major on the major

(46:08):
league team, standing in a batter'sbox. I would not. This is
not a rush job for me.No, absolutely not. No, he
hasn't got enough in games. Now. I know he's a veteran and been
in the league forever, but thisyear he did not look like a guy
who's been a big league hitter.I don't If his bat speed's back,

(46:28):
great, and if he can rake, it's just a bonus here. But
don't you want to see him fivesix, seven, eight games rake against
Triple A to make sure that thatbat speed is backs. That's what I
want to see, and that histiming is where it needs to be.
And and they know better than wedo, but I don't. I don't
know if there's a rush for thiswhy. And when I say I don't

(46:52):
know, it's a bit I mean, which means little facetious that there is.
You don't need to speed this backup, and I know it's been
a minute, but take two minutesif necessary. Yeah, exactly, I'm
with it seven one three, twoone two five seven. Hinty, Randall,
thank you for holding. What's goingon? Good morning, guys.
I thank you two of the bestand freestyling commercials. Do you think,

(47:14):
doctor Jeff WITZI can get some lazysurgery on a spider. Because Burlander pitched,
oh, he pitched almost fifty pitchesin that ind and two pitches before
the guy hit the home run,I say they should go ahead and put
him on base before he burned Burlander. And I think that pitch clock man

(47:34):
has a lot to do with withwith a situation like that. If a
pitcher's pitching a lot, it don'tgive him time to take a breather.
And and you know, we wewe I just don't like to pitch clock
and I just hang up and listenand see what you guys say about pitching
fifty pitches in the inn. AndI would have pulled him out. I
put the guy on base, pulledBerland out, and take it from there.

(47:59):
Thank you, Thank you, Randam. Let's keep it going real quick
and then we can answer Rand's question. Brad has been holding for a while.
Thank you, Brad. What's up? Hey, what's up? Guys,
real quick. I think I mentionedabout a month ago. We need
a couple of months where we runthat twenty one when month still not sold
on the spot of Sorry about that, but I do think this is the

(48:20):
time to make Hey we go downthere, we go. We got the
Angels, the Athletics, and thenwe got the Mariners. This is where
you make your This is where youmake the point, like Sean was saying,
this is where you win. Thedivision is this month and I'll hang
up and listen. Thanks guys,Thanks for old and Brad appreciate it man.
As far as like the pitch clockand what Randall said, the reasons
of the fifty pitches is because it'sjustin Verlander. That's why he got to

(48:45):
continue to pitch in that inning andthen the battle that he lost. Who
was one to hit the home runoff after a thirteen pitch A bat was
a Willia Domas. That was Ican't remember who hit it. I did
not see that was a Saturday game. Yeah, it was a Saturday game.
I was. I did not seethe entire game on Saturday. I
saw a handful of it. Idon't know who hit that home run off
him. I didn't even look.Let's see, I didn't watch all nine

(49:07):
innings on Saturday, uh contreras,Oh okay, yeah, yeah, thirteen
pitch at bat that I mean Isaw, I mean I read, you
know when they talk about on thebroadcast. Yeah, and look, man's
that inning was a grind for Verlander. But at the end of the day,
it's Justin Verlander. UNI pulled JustinVerlander out. That's that's probably why

(49:29):
you extend it. That's exactly why. But he's right if you watch in
comparison like we do, and youget validation. For instance, using Colin
Moricow as an example, he madeone bogie, one birdie on the last
hole and sixteen pars yesterday and hewent in one stroke off the lead and
then shot fifteen under the and lostby six. But here's the deal,

(49:51):
reachable par fives where you got tomake him. He was paring them,
and look what happened. Shotley birdiesthem, makes some clutch putts. They
win. Same thing here. Theywere supposed to win these series. Milwaukee's
a little tougher tests than Oakland,but they've done a good job of it.
Here's how you close the gap.And now when you've closed the gap
down to four games. You're oneseries against the Mariners from being a game

(50:13):
out. So this is and Andy'sright, this was the This was a
It's like we had talked about,you got to You've got to dominate these
these type of series. So whenyou run into the big teams, the
big the boppers and guys that canpitch you pitch their way through it and
can score runs and are championship caliberteams, then you and Milwaukee's pretty damn

(50:34):
good, but you you got towin them. And they did. And
back to Randle's question, Witza cando lasing on anybody. Okay, he's
the best, but his question was, oh, the pitch clock. And
I don't think any of us likeit. I like quick games. I
don't think you need I don't.I also don't like batter sitting outside the
box calling time out four times whenthey were able to do that, standing

(50:55):
out there, making forty adjustments totheir batting gloves popping in and pitcher setting
there, taking time waiting to pitch. There's got to be a happy medium.
I don't mind giving them a coupleextra seconds, you know, because
they wanted the games sped up.But pitchclock blows when it cuts right down
to it. If you're a pitcher, you don't like it, but it
does speed up games. But tome, you can still find that happy

(51:17):
medium, and not a lot ofpeople are talking about it. At the
beginning of the year, everybody's talkingabout it. Why those arm injuries,
we're starting to blame that on that, right, But as long as the
game's moving along, like I said, when you're watching good baseball, you
don't care about four or five extraminutes of a baseball game. That's my
opinion. Yeah, I get Randall'sdisdain with the pitchclock, though, Yeah,
I think a lot of people actuallyfeel the same. But I did

(51:38):
the same with the hitters though too. Too many hitters step out all the
time and eat timeouts on everything andslow things down. So it's been good
for both in some cases and speedingup the game. But you know,
players have their rhythm and their theirOCD pitchers and hitters, I think you
can make it feasible for both withoutyou know, and a fourteen Any game

(52:00):
is going to last a long time, and when you get good, when
you get good hitters, the game'sgonna last longer than you want to you
scored, you want ten runs.Guess what that's going to mean a longer
game. So but I understand Randall'sdistained for it because I think a lot
of us feel the same way.Yeah, seven one, three, two
one two five, seven nine,will keep rolling on the phone lines,
bab wallsll got to get into thesteak out and just like Randa ASTs Man

(52:22):
withs it, can he Yeah,he'll do all the measurements, first of
your eyes to make sure you qualifyhealth wise for your eyes. And once
he does this, dude, you'retalking about doctor Jeff Witz, that who's
done thousands, literally tens of thousandsof these procedures with his eye care and
Lasik procedure. You damn right.He may. He can make any of

(52:43):
us see better, whether it's forsafety purposes for you, whether it's for
you know, you just want tobe tired of Squinton. You're tired of
going to a ball game and notbeing able to see from centerfield what the
pitch was, whatever it is.Let him get to work with you.
Go on and see him. Youget a free consultation, like I did.
I moved to this town a decadeago and a couple of years into

(53:04):
my move here, I was asked, okay, who's the best, and
it kept coming back doctor Jeff witsIt. So I went in visited him,
walked me through, walk me throughthe history of lasik too in a
good way. So I understood thenew equipment, how talented it is,
and he treated my eyes like hewould his owner's own family. And in
about within a week, under aweek, I was seeing better than I'd
seen in three decades. And Iwas on the table for less than ten

(53:28):
minutes and it was not invasive.A lot of people want to know is
it invasive? So when you're investingin your eyes with the payment plan or
whatever it is, don't look forsomebody who does a fifty dollars eye care
because you're looking at a stamp youand move you on like an assembly line.
You don't want that. You wantthe best who treats them right.
You only got two of them,you might want to treat them right,

(53:49):
and doctor whitst will do that.It's witsit vision dot com seven one three
three six five nine seven nine nineseven one three three six five nine seven
nine nine or witsit vision dot comfor all your great Lasik care, let's
go on. This is the SewanSalisbury Show. All right, Sean,

(54:09):
what are you hearing out there now? The Salsburys takeout, sALS Brief takeout

Salisbury Show, Sean Brown and TripleLee. Right here on Sports Talk seven
ninety Astros host the Angels tonight seventhin the first Pitch, six o'clock on

(54:32):
Deck sho right here on seven onyour home for Astros Baseball. Steve Sparks
at eight thirty this morning, XanderSchaffle winning the PGA Championship. Before I
ask you about the steak out question, Sewn Stalks, Carl Carl, good
morning, Yes, sir, Ithink we finally found our niche. We've
got the pitches we needed. Wegot three great pictures. Rock here man,

(54:55):
that Blanco and that tig guy.Man, they were throwing BB's.
And here's another thing. Bad Wellswas the greatest baseball player in the world.
But he's not He's not a goodadvisor. Okay, I hate to
say it. God makes bad decisions, man, and you know it's his
ego in the in the way here, Hey, start nurturing Singleton. Man,

(55:19):
he's doing a great job. Don'tput something mental block in his mind.
All this guy's coming back, bigpress release. Who gives her or
a you know who cares? Imean, he can be designated bunner if
he wants to be. But I'mjust saying we're we're together now, the
glues together now. And another thing, sender Bray who down there to Florida.

(55:42):
That guy man, you know,I give him a gen god awful.
He don't even get anough. SoI'm just letting you know we're on
the on the run now. Ithink we're gonna take it. You know,
these next seven games, six games, we're on a roll. But
we got the pitchers, keep theegos out, will win. There you
go, No, that's okay,appreciate it. And uh a Bray who

(56:06):
has been down in Florida. Sothere you go. They're saying, if
he can get himself back here,let's talk to Adrian. Pitching has done
a good job. Man, Theyhave a good job. Adrian. Good
morning, fellows, fellas, fellas, misjaw been working a lot, just
pulled in the work now, alwayslistening though, Appreciate you here's my point.
You bring a Bray you up herewithout taking him to triple A or

(56:30):
double A to see if that swinghas the speed you want. This only
tells me Bagwell has Crane's ear,which means Dana can't do his job.
Peace Crispin, very precise. Dana'sgot to be the one making this decision

(56:51):
with Jim Crane. He's the jam. Yeah, he has to be.
Oh yeah, I'm with uh.I'm with Carl on my opinion of Jeff
Bagwell as an advisor and front officeperson. I think that's a fairly long
line, Buddy. I don't likeit. I don't he should be in

(57:12):
player develop development, and that's it. I just do not think jose A
Bray you should come back up andget plugged right back in the lineup.
If he is, we know what'sgoing on. Well, here's what I'll
tell you, point blank, whoeveris making that decision, If jose A
Bray walks out of Florida, comesup here and they plug him right into

(57:34):
the starting lineup, It'll tell youthat they don't have the best interest of
the team in mind. Right now. Yeah, nope, And I don't
believe that that's the case, Idon't believe Jim Crane wants anything but success
for his team. Agreed. Andeverybody likes to make money, but wants
success for his team. While thisseason is going on and every season,
I just ego and pride, notfor Jim Crane, anybody. You cannot

(57:59):
make this decision based on money becausehe's making nineteen and a half. And
then you cannot make this decision basedon live VP in Florida. He has
to come back, in my opinion, and re earn the job. And
if he doesn't, oh well.And the truth is John Singleton can't worry
about jose A Brai. He's gotto play. The competition exists everywhere.

(58:22):
If you don't perform, you shouldn'tplay. You're not a starter. Singleton's
earned the job at first base.He's played it well defensively, He's hit
the ball pretty damn well. Weknow he's got a good eye, supply
some pop, and the team iswinning. I don't. I mean,
you're gonna change lineup once in awhile, but I'm talking about even if
a bray you gets run. I'mtalking about you don't just all of a
sudden come back and say he's ourstarter. No, no, no,

(58:45):
he's actually not. And if youplug him in as the automatic starter,
it's telling you not that he's nota great teammate, it's telling you that
this is not a decision based onperformance. And I don't believe you can
do that if you have the team'sbest in some mine and this team has
always felt like it's had the bestinterest of mine hints. Seven straight alcs's
okay, and some World Series toboot and a dominant franchise. You can't

(59:09):
just make that decision until he he'sgot to earth. It's like somebody gets
hurt on a football field, theother guy comes in plays at a Pro
Bowl level. Guess what, yougot to take the job back from him.
No offense, but no longer JoseahBray, who's not a sacred cow.
He's got to come back and earnthe job. And if he doesn't,
he's a bench guy and you'll dealwith it the rest of the year

(59:29):
and hopefully gets hot and can help. But you don't just throw him into
the starting line and say, hey, great job, John, You've done
it at the big league level.Now and this year I'm talking about and
JOSEA Bray, we're just gonna puthim back in. Well, that'll tell
me it's simply a money decision.If you're going to pay him nineteen five
regardless, you can pay him nineteenfive coming off the bench until he earns
the job back. If he does, I can't wait to see if bat

(59:52):
Speed's picked up that much less ina month. I got to see this
where he comes back in that thatthat you can't to me, that is
not that's just kind of disrespect toyour other teammates. Yeah, it just
is earn the job, and ifyou can earn it, play him.

(01:00:13):
Yeah right, I'm playing my bestnine, buddy, and right now he's
not one of your best nine.Gonna be interesting to see, man,
Yep, and he could make usway back to the big league level by
the end of this week. Sevenone, three, two two five seven
ninety Susie, Good morning, Higuys. It's really nice that we're on
this great winning streak. This lookslike the Astros were used to yep.

(01:00:37):
So you know, we're talking abouta brave and I totally agreed. You
know, I don't know how wellhe's done down in Florida. But the
other thing too, I don't knowif you've touched on this. I just
got out of work. I haven'theard you until now. But you know
Jake Myers, you know he Idon't think he should be benched for McCormick
right now either. Myers is oneof our hottest hitters, you know,
and that's going to really deflate hisego if it's like, oh, Chaz

(01:01:00):
is back, now go back tothe vent roll, because maybe Myers really
just needed everyday play because that he'sgot some top and is that, you
know, and he's good a centerfielder anyway. So what do you guys
think about that? Hopefully you thinkthat they're gonna just bench Myers because McCormick's
coming back. Sure feel I'm sorry, and it sure feels good on the
winning side of things, guys.Sure, thank you for the call,

(01:01:22):
Susie. You know what I think, Susie. I think Jake Myers went
through. I mean, people questionif he should be the everyday player,
and we did too. Everybody wantedMcCormick, Dubon or you're down that group
out there, and now low Perfito, who's coming and performed pretty damn well
at this level. Jake Myers hasbeen an incredible surprise. You know what
he's done. He's been given anopportunity and guess what he seesed it,

(01:01:45):
Matt, he really has so onceagain, well, Chas McCormick had a
really good year last year, andMcCormick's a good player. But Chas McCormick's
gonna have to work his way intothe starting lineup too. And make no
mistake, this team loves Jake Myersas we as well. Right, they
were going to give him every opportunityto win the job, and they have.
And guess what, Chad, I'mnot I don't know. You know,

(01:02:05):
the long run, who's better downthe street? I mean, you're
gonna get it. But Jake Myershas played good baseball and at the least,
you know what, Jake Myers isgonna get a lot of run.
Yeah, same thing, Chas McCormickcomes back to the spot. That's exactly
right. Last year. Does notmatter when you get your opportunity, make
the most of it. If youdon't keep grinding, and you'll get another

(01:02:27):
one eventually. And how many timeshas Jake Myers been questioned over the last
two years injury, question of performanceat the plate, the rest and get
look what he's done. I've been. His weakness is he's not throwing anybody
out from any places. Oh he'sgot a water guns, yes, but
a pop gun for sure. ButI can tell you this that he he
has played really good baseball. He'sbeen one of the pleasant surprises on this
roster during this run and this year, he's played good baseball. He's hitting

(01:02:50):
three h two nine twenty oh ps, five doubles, two triples, five
bombs, eighteen RBI two stolen baseHow can you take that out of the
lineup right now? You don't.And unfortunately injury. When people say injury,
you can't lose your job due toinjury your ass, and in any
sport you can. If the otherguy comes in and snatches that glove,
he's gonna have to Chaz is gonnahave to come in and play Jake Myers

(01:03:13):
type baseball to get the gig back. Yep. I'm not in the feel
good business, brother, I meanfeel goods winning. That's the big business
I'm in. You got if ifthat's the business you're in, then you
got to play the best player.And you're nine. You can't just out
that guy's might. You got toplay your best players. You owe it
to the other members of the teamin the organization as well as your fan
base. There's gonna be some interestingdecisions to make when Chaz gets back and

(01:03:37):
jose Abray. You will continue totalk about that next. And Jake Myers
is on fire as of late Sean. The only thing that he's not doing
painting corners nine. You know anybodythat can paint me a corner? Yes,
and I could paint your well.It's interior x heier that's inside,

Wolves beat the Nuggets in Game seven, Pacers beat the Knicks in Game seven,

(01:05:27):
as well as andershoffle wins the PGAChampionships seven to one to three two
what excuse me? Seven one threetwo one two five seven ninety the number
to join. Let's get back outto the phone lines. Tripley. Can
you give me a little help onyour side, please? H Town Wheelhouse
first, will House. What's happening? Not much, Brian, Good morning

(01:05:49):
to you and Sean another great jobthis morning talking about the Astros. It's
you know, I try really hardto disagree with y'all and a lot of
things, and I can't disagree withthe single thing y'all say. Y'all,
y'all just always have it lined up, I mean, knocking it out of
the park. You don't need JeffBagwell to adjust your swing at all.

(01:06:09):
So keep up the good work.And with that being said, Jake Myers
was my preseason breakout Offensive Performer ofthe Year on our podcast Look on Astros
and let me tell you, Jakeis really doing a great job. And
I think with Jake's emergence, IGigo's thoughts on this and with Joey Loperfido,

(01:06:30):
if we get to the trade deadlineand they are looking at trade pieces,
is someone like Chas McCormick on theoutside looking in, or does Joey
Loperfito still not really carry that muchweight. But Jake, Joey, I
mean, the whole crew are doinga great job. Thank you. Will
House appreciate it, and they're gonnahave some decisions to make, right huh.

(01:06:50):
I can tell you this all thatseller talk. Ain't no more talk
of that right now. No,and one ounce of that talk. Guys.
We had a Carl of his namewas Carl. He said, Bray,
you went one for five down inI guess, yeah, West,
he's in West bom Beach. Yes, he's still in Florida. One for
five. I don't know if that'sany better, but yeah, he's getting

(01:07:13):
he's getting his live action down there. You know what one for five is
better? Then oh for five?Thank you A good night over six.
Yeah, I listen, it's notthe stats. That's how you get to
them. I got got it.We got to know because didn't Dana say
that when they send him down therethat he was two strong? Yeah?
Basically, yes, so basically lackingthe flexibility and the bat speed the explosion

(01:07:36):
to get through the hitting zone.Right. Yeah, So if that gets
fixed in what three weeks time,then the amen? Oh amen? But
the key is you're going to seecan he catch up with stuff that's not
ninety nine, that's ninety two,and if he can great last year he
got hot, was great in thepostseason. Can you can you get that

(01:07:58):
from him again? I think he'sgot to that job. And Wheelhouse,
you know, talked about some ofthe depth they've had. You know,
the guys have come in and donea great job, and you do not
need to disrupt what's going on.But there's gonna be when you think about
low Perfido and McCormick and Myers andDubont there there will be decisions of making

(01:08:18):
you say, well is there enoughto listen, they'll get their run.
But I'm all for the biggest.The biggest pleasant surprise on this team this
year, on the everyday players hasbeen Jake Myers and quite Frank. Listen,
we know the potential that Peyinas had. We obviously know what Tucker is

(01:08:39):
like. The biggest was shock washow slow Bregman started, even though he's
usually a slow starter, that waseven unique for him. But the way
Jake Myers has played, Come on, dude, you said he's got an
ops in nine twenty or nine thirtyOn's he sniffed that, I don't think
and he's hitting he's hitting over threehundred. He's been a really what a

(01:08:59):
pleasant surprise in a bonus chas mccormisgot some work cut out for him.
And you know what, don't kidyourself. Low Prafino's got to continue to
do his thing to to get somerun in the outfield and to play because
let's say, Low Brafito's only playingone every five days, would you want
him here or would you want himdown swinging? I'd like the role that
he's been agreed whatever it is.Well, dude, and I don't I

(01:09:23):
don't want to diminish that. Yeah, and we don't. You can't.
How are you going to shrink him? If somebody comes back with McCoy they're
going to have some Joe spot isgoing to be tested and it's a good
problem to have. But and DanaBrown of how you're going to maneuver this
with with these bodies when McCormick andObray you get back and getting Caroteni some
extra bats, moving ds the dH at times Low Prafito and left t

(01:09:46):
every down and then putting him incenter when Dubond's you know, not playing
at his time, and he's fillingin a McCormick Myers combination. I mean,
there's some work to be done,man, But I'll tell you what
at least we're talking about. Remember, going into the year, we wondered
how the depth was. Now looknow, look impressive. It's been pretty
it's been pretty good since. Yeah, because we didn't expect this from Jake
Myers. But you're also got somedecisions, man, Yes, you're damn

(01:10:09):
right, you do. And theybetter be what's best for the team,
not so what's best for the player. Yeah, that's I hate to say
that, but that's a fact inYeah, in game. It's the way
it works. I mean, it'sgot it. It's got to be done,
no doubt if you Yeah, Imean we can players. Feelings matter,
but you can't take the players.What matters most is that is that
roster right and and how how youwin? And the players got to adjust

(01:10:30):
to you, not you to them. Seven. Usually the way it works.
Seven one three, five seven.I's got out to Galveston and talk
to Mike. Mike, thanks forrolling. What's going on? Hey,
I just wanted to talk about thebray you and the financial situation and paying
him nineteen and a half million.If we play them, just because of
making nineteen and a half million,we got the potential to lose more than

(01:10:53):
what we could make by playing somebodythat makes us win in advance to the
you know, playoffs and potentially theWorld Series. We're going to make that
thanking and a half million back bygoing farther. Thank you. I don't
think you can make this decision basedon money. Who you're going to start
that you want to talk about thefirst you want to talk about the quickest

(01:11:15):
way to have your franchise. Wiltplay the guys based on money. Now,
sometimes your highest paid player, theOtani's of the world are really good
this am. We're not talking aboutShoe hail TONI. We're talking about,
you know, a guy who struggledat first base. You have to play
feelings. Listen. It's a slipperyslope confidence and that with a player.

(01:11:36):
But you have to expect those guysto elevate that part of it, whatever
their role is to contribute. Moneyabsolutely cannot be the factor on whether you
start a guy or not. No, it cannot, or if that's the
case, it doesn't usually end well. When you're making decisions based on that.
I would like to think this organization'ssuccess thinks much bigger and broader than

(01:11:59):
that. So I mean, isthat where we're headed to? Where he
comes back because the Oakland A's arenot good, so he comes back,
gets plugged right in? I mean, is that? Do you think that?
Actually? I don't think. Ido not think a Bray is getting
plugged right in. I do not. I don't I think that if he
did. You know what they're thinking. He's a second half of the year
player. That's what they're thinking.Now. Money matters. They're listen,

(01:12:23):
you want a value. You don'twant to be considered what a horrible business
deal? Right? You don't wantthat. But I think they'll they'll look
and say, well, remember whathe did the second half of the season.
Every month things got better. That'dbe the reason you plugged him in.
I would think. Yet, thisis twenty twenty four. He has
to prove that he can catch upthe fastballs in certain parts of the zone
and outside the zone, and thathe's the hitter that he's been since he's

(01:12:45):
been in the American League and playingand won an MVP in a shortened season
in twenty twenty so, and I'vebeen a big run producer his whole career.
But I can't fathom after the defenseand what we've seen Singleton come up
with some clutch as well, Icannot It looks like John Singleton belongs.
I can't fathom. As much asI like a bray You as a teammate,

(01:13:05):
and it seems like a great dudeand has been a hell of a
player in his past. I can'timagine you're gonna waltz in and you're gonna
throw him in the seven or eighthole just because he's JOSEH bray You.
If that's the case, that's thethat's that's that's a recipe for creating some
turmoil. To you gotta do theguys who are playing on that team.

(01:13:27):
You've got to take into account whatgives them all the best chance to win.
And right now it's not JOSEA brayYou, it's John Singleton and different
lineup. We'll see if that continues. Now with Singleton, he's got a
when well bray You gets there,guess what he's gonna be. No,
every day, you can't play lookingover your shoulder. You've got to continue
to produce, and if Singleton willproduce, he will be or he will
start more games than a Bray.You but he's gonna have to deal with

(01:13:49):
the competition if there is one.Well, you've got some interesting decisions that
that will have to be made.Chas McCormick, Jose Bray, you see
to be right on the cusp ofreturning. Let's look at the active roster
for the Astros and who could besent down when these decisions are made.
That's next on Sports Talk seven toeighty. The Shawn Salisbury Show continued Steve

So, as as an Angels fan, I just got to ask, is
dand Brown? Sure he doesn't wantto bring back upbray you for this series
because you know, knowing my team, he'd probably finally get off this night
better against us than he against anybodyelse. It's a damn good point.
Maybe this is where he starts torake, right. Uh. I don't

(01:18:46):
think that's gonna happen in this one, much to your chagrin, I imagine,
I I you probably don't like yourAngels chances in this series. Are
you gonna go to the game?No? Man any of them. Unfortunately
not with the with the storm andstuff, right, do you focused around
getting everything cleaned up around here?But uh, you know, of course
I'll be watching and hoping for thebest, as all fans do. But

(01:19:11):
yes, my my, my hopebottle is pretty well. Hey Ken,
where if you don't mind, isasking where are you located here in the
city. So I'm I'm out theborder of Houston and Kate Katie and and
did you did your homes suffer somedamage or are you in the fixed are
you in the fixed up business?Do you go? Are you in some
kind of the restoration? Right?No, no, no, my home

(01:19:35):
is was okay, just mild damagesin terms of debris and some fences down,
but definitely helping out some of theneighbors in the neighborhood who had a
little bit more uh concern and stufflike that. So you're a good man.
I'm glad you're okay, and uh, you know, immersing yourself into
other people's needs or is a goodthing. And well, okay, here's

(01:19:56):

we appreciate it and keep doing goodwork out there. Ken, thanks
for calling. Man. That stormeffected a lot of people. Yeah,
a lot of people still without power. Yep, yep. Pretty eerie driving
in this morning, coming in fortyfive south and there are still pockets of

(01:20:17):
the city that are just branches,I mean trees. I know the Bridgeland
area got pounded. Uh, they'vebeen out of power. I know some
of the kids that I coach,their families are still without power. Obviously,
the Heights was highly impacted. TimberGrove got it pretty bad. Obviously,
Downtown Houston with the buildings just uh, man, crazy stuff with those

(01:20:39):
storms. So I hope uh everyoneis staying safe and to be able to
come to work. Dude, Yeah, it always is. Yeah, all
right, let's look at this depthchart before we get into the eight o'clock
hour. So if jose Bray whocomes back no this week, first of
all, he's no, he shouldnot be starting. And then you've got

(01:21:00):
Chas McCormick run on the cusp aswell, who gets sent down it's gonna
be low Braffito, I would thinkso. And great Kessinger, Well,
then if that's if that's the case. I mean Kessinger obviously, because he's
an infielder. I just don't seehow you once again, I can can

(01:21:24):
Dubond play two positions at once ifguys needed off? You think so?
Yeah, I I don't to meyou just if you, I mean if
with the choice you got, ifyou're asking who you'd send down, that's
an easy answer for me. Butthey also got to take into account where
the guy's playing, if you're gonnaneed, and how much time you're gonna
give him. I would love tosee. I would love to hope Joey

(01:21:45):
loperfdo's here to stay, But Idon't know if that's going to be the
case because McCormick's not being sent down, and either is Myers obviously with his
performance. So when chode chas McCormickis back, and when when jose Abray
is back, there's some decisions tobe made. Correct. Yeah, I
just then you off. Let mesee. So it looks like, excuse

(01:22:11):
me. The guys that are stillout of options, that's a key.
We'd have to go through and findout who they are. Right, du
Bonds out of options, Singleton's outof options, Well, those are brain
to Black was but he obviously gottraded to the A's. The first two
guys are they're they're they're here rightnow, They're not going anywhere. Yeah,
so then it's gonna it's got tobe Joey Loberfido and Messenger and Kessinger.

(01:22:32):
You'd think who else would it be? Right? I don't unless you
send a picture down, But thenyou get you gotta wait for Renel Blanco
to be brought back. Yeah.Uh, you're not ready for that.
Sean Even was just sent back downright. Uh. And Parker Machinsky pitched
over the weekend. He was broughtup. So and there's been some act
buddy, No, man, there'sbeen so many moving parts so far this
season. And I'll be honest withyou, winning out keep more pitching correct

(01:22:55):
Yeah? Oh yeah, So thereyou go. Astros twenty one and twenty
six. Let's look at division.They're right there, uh, right behind
the Rangers and Mariners catching ground.Next on sports Flock seven ninety kbm E
Houston at the HD two Houston,my heart radio station, the Astros,
the Rockets, Rockets Basketball, yourhome for your home teams. This is

(01:23:19):
Sports Talk seven ninety driven by thatclassic elite to view at GMC Studios for
the elite car buying experience. Salisbury, Oldbury, Sasbury, Houston. Okay,
let's do this. Sean Salisbury tousc true longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury,

(01:23:43):
Ryan Lo Lima, go Lobos.This is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Steve Sparks, Astros broadcaster. I'mgonna join us in about twenty eight minutes
right there at eight point thirty thismorning, tea Wolves beat the Nuggets,
shoot the lights out. They beatthe Knicks in Game seven. Zan Erhofle

(01:24:03):
winning the PGA Championship. After theseries win for the Stros, we look
at the division last ten games.The Astros are eight and two. They've
won nine out of their last eleven. They are now just four back,
excuse me, of the Seattle Mariners. Mariners are five and five in their

(01:24:26):
last ten. The Texas Rangers arethree and seven in their last ten.
And they're the Astros playing much betterbaseball. This was a softer part of
the schedule and they're doing exactly whatthey're supposed to do. They are winning
series. Key win the ones you'resupposed to win. We say it all
the time. If you don't,then you'll have trouble gearing it up.

(01:24:53):
Very few can turn it on andoff like a light switching. Good teams
with good pitching, silence, goodhitting, and they've some decent pitchers even
through this run and have been ableto muster up a lot of runs in
a powerful weekend when it comes toa long ball and extra base hits.
But we asked going in for thisten game homestand and for this run,

(01:25:15):
to find a way to win thesegames and dominate series, not split series,
not lose series. Dominated and theyhave and they're getting it from a
lot of different people, which isa good thing. So when people say,
you know, oh yeah, you'resupposed to, I mean winning these
it's not easy winning games. AskWe saw that last year at the end
they play up to the competition.Well, this year they didn't play down

(01:25:38):
to the competition. You see,even though Oakland had a better record going
in than the Astros, the talentsthere's leave me that there's a big talent
gap between the two franchises. Andthey made no mistake and left no doubt
that they are going to beat thoseteams, at least right now. And
they are going through a hot streakand Dana Brown had told us that they

(01:25:59):
would, and let's hope it continues. But what happens by doing this and
gaining confidence, not momentum confidence,When you get to the big boys again,
you're a little more prepared for it. So this team's had a history
of taking care of their business whenthey have been kicked in the teeth,
and they I don't want to usethe term backs to the wall, it's
overused, but when they've been kickedthe teeth and challenged in the past,

(01:26:23):
they've usually reared their head. Obviously, notwithstanding the American League Championship Series,
when the Rangers took care of thatand they all had to do is win
one and two at home. Theyare winning at home here right now,
and they are winning, beating teamsthey're supposed to. I'll take them because
it is really, really hard towin. To win in sports, It

(01:26:43):
just is, especially pro sports,because an injury here, an injury there,
a slow start here, an injurythere, and a player that's an
All star not playing like an allstar. Well, they're starting to kick
into gear and you're still not seeing, Like we said earlier, the best
of Yrd Don Alvarez. And whenyou do the rest of the guys stay
hot, you think it's good.Now you can roll off all you can
start to look like the Philadelphia Philliesthe way they play the Yankees are playing.

(01:27:08):
Look at you see the Yankees over. You know they're obviously in front
of Baltimore. Now they're playing.They've had a good start to their season.
They're eight and two in the lastten, exactly right, they've won
seven in a row. And thenthe Astros feel that. And yes,
the competition gets stiffer when you playbetter teams, but when you win,
you feel better about it, notonly in the win column, but you
feel better about it when you goface stiffer pitching and more formidable lineups.

(01:27:30):
And the Astros when they're going right, and it's been proven and it is
being proven now that they're as formidableas any one through nine there is in
baseball. Speaking of the Phillies,they are eight and two in their last
ten. They are five up onthe Braves in the NL East, they're
thirty four and fourteen. I don'tthink Atlanta's going to let them go run
and hide, though, even thoughSpencer Strider'd be a help. Both of

(01:27:53):
those teams have good pitching staffs,and as we know, there's some talented
players on both rosters. But rightnow it's about the Astros. They're going
to go win this division. Eventhrough all the questions, as long as
they stay healthy and they don't havesomething you know, crazy happen, they're
they're still the team to beat inthis division. Seven one, three five
seven hint is the number to joinus. Get back out to the phone
lines, Brad, welcome in.Ye'ah, all got the wrong guy,

(01:28:16):
man, Low Braffito is not goingdown. It's Cabbage. You forgot about
that guy. Trey Cabbage. Couldbe Trey Cabbage as well. Good call,
Brad, thank you. He couldbe another guy that's gonna be sent
down. I don't know who they'regonna send down. I would hope it's
not low Berfedo. Well, letme ask you this. When McCormick comes

(01:28:40):
back, they got to send somebody, right, h What about when to
break who comes back? You gottasend somebody. Okay, So it's not
gonna just be one guy, correct, It's gotta be two. Well,
you lose one comes back, gottauh, you gotta send one down.
So the question is if Cabbage isone of them, then who's the other?
Gotta too? There you go?You want to start wearing headbands in

(01:29:01):
the studio? No, you sawover the weekend that Alex Bregman was giving
the guy's head bands for Marucci?That is that? Who's got his head
band? Yeah? Marucci? Okay, so no, his batting gloves,
that's his bad. Yeah. Idon't know about his battingloves, but his
bad. I think I saw this. I thought I saw the AM on
it and that one of their logosin I thought his batting gloves or maybe
I'm wrong, but you need neitherhere nor there. Does Marucci make batting

(01:29:26):
gloves? I know obviously bats andI'm assuming they do, so yeah,
I would imagine you'd want that onthere too for him. But they're making
his head band. I do yousee mean wear in the studio? Yeah?
I could do rag. Yeah yeah, I could do that one day
for you if you want. Arewe going to get it in like an
endor? Yeah? Yeah, probablyhope. So you want a placement yeah?

(01:29:47):
Hell yeah? What if somebody saysthey want us to wear it every
day for to endorse what you wearingit? Every day? Yes? You
can be bought is what you're saying. Absolutely, Yeah, me too.
You want on a head band,you want crocs, give me the headband,
give me the headband. Yeah,I'll take the headband. No crop,

(01:30:09):
I'll take the headband. Hey dudes, that too. If you heard
any talking about Hey dudes. Guy. Yeah, there you go, Academy
dot com. It look good onyou today. Thank you and welcome very
much. Yeah seven three two twofive seven Joe, welcome in. Hey
guys. You know I've been listeningto you. I am a huge Joey
fan. I think if they wouldhave brought him up two weeks earlier,

(01:30:31):
the team probably would have two morevictories to send him down. And being
bring a brew up it is justan absolute crime. The kid is baton
three thirty three a brew, evenin I think he's playing in I think
it's a softball league and he's battingunder it. I wouldn't touch Joey low
Perfido Joe would neither. I wouldn'ttouch him neither of Neither me or Sean

(01:30:55):
want him. Send down Joe?Then, why are you bringing up?
Why? Why did you even bringingabrew up up? Why? Why did
he bring him up? The guy'sbettoned two hundred in tball. Why are
they bringing him up? That's asDana Brown has said to us, that's
a Joe a spot of Dana Brownquestion. I don't know. I think
they think I hate back of thebaseball card. Don't come on. I'm

(01:31:19):
just telling you, okay, I'mjust telling you because of you know,
at the end of last yar ifyou're going by twenty twenty four or bray,
you does not belong in the lineup. You're exactly right. Production wise,
they look at it different. I'massuming they're going to come back and
say, yes, bad speak's increased, he's ready to go. I don't
know, but I would not touchJoey low Braffito right now. I would

(01:31:42):
not. Yes, Yeah, youknow what this is like, you know,
when you're in a bad marriage andyou've invested a lot of money in
a bad marriage, and you're stickingto that bad marriage because of the money.
And that's and that's what jose Brew. It's just because you've invested so
much, you're sticking in a badmarriage, and it's just a shame that
they just you know, cut yoursorry. No, don't be sorry,
Joe. And like I said,it's not personal on a Bray you.

(01:32:05):
I think we all like him.It's just performance hasn't been put it this
way. If you said, rightnow, if you had to win a
game and you had to have aguy get four bats right now, and
it came down to low Braffito orBray, you who are you playing right
now, Joey Lo Braffito, Wellthere's your answer. Yeah, I'll give
it until he earned the job back. I'm not saying he got low Perfito's

(01:32:28):
job. He's playing the outfield mostof the time. I'm just saying you
can't just you can't Walton and justhand him the job over Singleton. Singleton's
a better player right now, abetter player right now. Yeah, and
he's played well damn right now.As far as it's as jose A.
Bray is concerned, he's still goingto be down in West Palm this week.
He could make a couple of TripleA starts later on the weekend,

(01:32:50):
possibly rejoin the team in Oakland overthis weekend. That is coming straight from
Dana Brown. He was on withRobert Ford yesterday prior to the game,
as he does every single Sunday.We can ask Steve Swartz about it at
eight thirty. There's an issue againwith sports betting in Major League Baseball.

They host The Angels tonight's seven toten, the first Pitch six o'clock
on Deck show right here on sevennine to your home for Astros Baseball seven

(01:35:27):
one three two one two five seven. I thank you, Chris, thanks
for holding Good morning, Good morningguys. How y'all doing. Listen?
I wanted to see if y'all couldrelay a message to Joe at Spota or
somebody down there in the office,please don't let your don alrisk steal any
more. Basis that that raised myheart rate up. You know, I
love seeing the big man run.It kind of makes me worried a little

(01:35:49):
bit out there and seeing him inleft field chasing balls. But lap tight
Man, when he stole that base, it was like a big pause for
me. You know, I'm like, just see if y'all could relate it
meant you know, yeah, yeah, Chris, good point man, and
you just relate it loud and clear. And I was thinking, I swear
to you the same thing when Ithink at that point in time, wasn't

(01:36:10):
it was that after I'm trying tothink of the timing of the game.
Didn't didn't Tucker hit his second homerun to get it to nine to four,
I believe, And then Bregman wascoming to the plate. Bregman was
coming to the plate. Am Icorrect about this? And Bregman come to
the plate and he stole second toget in scoring positions so Bregman could try

(01:36:30):
and drive in a run, right, And I'm like, and I'm like,
I understand you want to extend thelead, but I'm with you.
I'm like, the big fella cango. I'm gonna keep his ass on
first base in that situation. Thereyou go, good point, brother,
heart rate goes that. Brother,Hey, I was I swear I was
thinking, say he's running, andI know he wanted to put a position.
I believe that was after it wasn'tthe ending later. It was after

(01:36:53):
Tucker homer to the opposite field toget it to nine to four, after
the Brewers had closed it to sixto four, and you'rd on haul and
ass and stole the base plumb cleanon a pretty decent throw, and then
you know, to allow Bregnant atleast the opportunity to drive the run.
He didn't, but that was Iget what he's saying, like, oh

(01:37:14):
please, Yeah, that was thebig fella bottom of the bottom of the
walks for him. Yuse I lookedbetter yesterday. I got a couple of
walks in the in the in thegame, bottom of the second inning,
right after that home run by KyleTucker. He walked, then stole second,
and then Bregmant struck out swinging.Oh so you say bottom the second
or seven seventh, Yeah, okay, exactly. So it was as we
were ready, and that was theone Bregman struck out on a little uh

(01:37:38):
a tough pitch on the outer onthe outer part of it, and what
wasn't one of his better swings thathe's been having the last you know,
six seven games. So basically whatI gathered is y'all are scared and need
to buy a dog. No,I'm not scared, just with a night.
Listen, if it's five to fourand you need an extra run,

(01:37:59):
I get it nine to four.I was pretty secure with the way the
back ends pitching that I'm probably tellingjord On you stay close to that base,
brother, I don't need you stealingjust yet. I love the aggressiveness.
I'd probably prefer to be somebody elseat that stage because a big fella
can run, now, yeah hecan. I think he took first to
third on another hit. There wasa base hit and got to the first
to third, and he can jernfor the big man moving it. But

(01:38:24):
it's like a quarterback. You're upthree touchdowns, scramble out of the pocket.
I don't take the hit. Sityour ass down, Okay, get
down or get out of bounds now. If it's third down and seven and
it's a tie score and I needthat first down, you may have to
run through somebody timing of it,and hey, big fellow is fine and

(01:38:45):
we'll take it. But I understandhis heart rate going up, meaning a
caller Chris, because I was thinkingthe exact same thing when he took off.
Yeah, well, safe bet thathe might, probably won't might or
probably will not try it again.So is a safe bet. Sho Heo
Tani Misuhara in his bookie did yousee the story about David Fletcher? I

(01:39:09):
did? Who is one of hisbetter friends in baseballs when he played with
them on the Angels. So DavidFletcher, he is with triple A over
in Atlanta. He was betting onbaseball games while being on the same team
with Sho Hao Tani, while alsousing sho Heo Tani's interpreter's allegal Bookie.
You mean to tell me Shoo Tanididn't know I'm on I never did,

(01:39:32):
he never, He had no idea. I mean, come on, show,
hey didn't know that. Just toobusy hitting home runs? Doc,
Yeah, you better roll up offhim. Come on, man, let
me just tell you something. Whyare you chasing this ghost? I know
it was a story, and Iknow they continue to pursue it, and
I know when when you're one ofyour best friends, usually you know you'll

(01:39:54):
have We all have a couple offriends that we who is your best friend
you are? Okay, there yougo. I will use me, Okay,
will use me as as an example, my best friends in California,
my best friend from college, orTim Shannon, those guys from long best
friends. Yes, but you know, just say to stick to the city.
We'll say you're in the team picture. Okay, Well you might be

(01:40:15):
the biggest face in the team picture. We'll say you've worked with me and
been around me long enough you couldprobably tell me what my day to day
is correct A good idea. Whatdo you think I'm gonna do today?
I know you're gonna go to day. You're gonna go to men's tea clinic,
yep. But then you're gonna godo a pod and then you're gonna
go get a workout in and thenget your day, take your dogs for
a walk. I know those arethe four things in a row. That's
exactly what I'm gonna do. Andyou haven't told me today, right exactly,

(01:40:39):
that's exactly my schedule. That's myOCD know in your schedule case.
If I was betting on baseball,i'd know you would know. And here
the interpreter four hours day, herethat interpreters around him on travel all that
all time was at least yeah.I but here's what you have to here's
what you have to know. You'rechasing a ghost. It's never gonna be

(01:40:59):
caught fair enough, you know.But I understand the why we're doing this.
I get it. If he didn'tknow, then some of it.
Then there's there's some real ignorance goingaround. That kind of money, that
kind of grind, that kind ofthe wow factor that comes with what you're
not supposed to do. If youdidn't know, then you got to wonder

(01:41:20):
how good of friends they actually were. Does that make sense? Yeah?
But I to me, it's chasinga ghost. And here's why. Now
we give our opinion that we have. Listen, you're around somebody that much,
you can just finish their sentences,yeah, exactly exactly, or close
out their bets, go to theirbank account, I guess. But here's

(01:41:42):
here's what we do. Know.You're you're chasing a ghost. You know
why they're never? And hear mewhen I say never in always the hard
words to use in sports or life, especially sports, because oh, nobody's
ever going to hit a five hundredand fifty foot home run. Don't say
that yet, just like nobody's gonnashoot twenty one hunder at a major well
Shoffley, Yes, on a hardcourse at seventy six hundred yards. Never.

(01:42:04):
But I can comfortably say, andI bet on this on a future's
bet, you will never see himgo down for this at any point in
time. Matter of fact, they'regonna turn there, they're gonna put this
under the they're gonna say case closed. Man, unless you can come up
with who you saw hand hand andyou could show me documents that he did

(01:42:26):
it. Even then they may passit off on somebody else. You're never
this is never happening. You're you'renot touching the most popular player globally in
baseball period. It's not gonna happen. And you know what else major League
Baseball doesn't want. They'll take theblack eye for the interpreter. They're not

(01:42:47):
taking the black eye for for foruh Otani. Well, they did for
Pete Rose. That was a longtime ago before gambling was even you know
why. Now here's the difference.Gambling's mainstream now in every everybody's well not
everybody, but a lot of peopleare doing it even in sports, on
their own sports. But I cantell you this, Come on, man,

(01:43:13):
you know it's not happening. Yeah, you absolutely know it's not happening.
Give me a football player if itwas involved in gamy. You actually
think that if Mahomes was involved insomething that if he had a buddy that
was placing him for him, youthink they're bringing that back to Mahomes.
I'm not saying he did, butyou get my point, right, Yeah,
you think that's happening. No,No, of course it's not.

(01:43:35):
Nope, and just like here Otani, I hate to tell you this,
he's untouchable. And I'll tell youthe biggest shock you'll have had in a
decade or in your baseball life isif they did go after him for this
right. You also had David Fletcher. One of David Fletcher's other close friends,
Colby Showtz Colby Schultz, who playedin the Kansas City Royal system from

(01:43:59):
twenty eight in twenty twenty, hewas placing bets on baseball, including games
that David Fletcher was playing and whenthey were on the team together. I
us to also add that in themix where David Fletcher he was described.
This is all coming from Tisha Thompsonof ESPN. She reported on IT Friday
evening. She said David Fletcher wasOtani's teammate from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty

(01:44:20):
three and has been described as oneof Otani's closest friends in baseball. Like
I said, we can all haveour opinion, but you're just using a
airspace because that's not gonna happen.They're not gonna let that happen. No,
it's just gonna be swept under therug. It would have to be.
It would have to be so overwhelmingevidence wise. He's as untouchable as

(01:44:45):
we have in sports, I thinkin sports in general. Yes, he
is. The amount of money,forget the amount of money that was bet
well, whoever it was bet byor spent, the amount of the headache
would be far worse by uncovering himthan it would be by letting you speculate.
Right, it's never gonna happen.Yeah, yep, it's sure not.

(01:45:09):
But I know what it's gonna happen. You're gonna see wits wits.

we said this morning. Nine opswho had that on the Bengo right,
jag Hey, when Chaz comes backto Steve, You've been in sports your
whole life. I'm under the impressionI always have been, that you can
lose your job or you know,somebody comes in the gloves on the Mounta
and Chaz is a good player,but you got to come back and earn

(01:47:44):
the gig. And I don't seehow with the way he's playing. Had
a little power running the bases,doing and hitting over three hundred two.
Steve that Jake Myers through all theyou know, people you know wondering if
he should be starting every day.He has stepped up with this opportunity and
has created an incredible com petition situation. So the surprise has been a pleasant
watch, don't you think? Well, it has, and he's the center

(01:48:06):
fielder for right now. Yeah,Jas McCormick's going to come in and have
to fight for playing time with maybeone or two guys. But right now,
Jake Myers, you run out thereevery single day of the season,
not only for what he's doing offensively. I mean, nobody can expect him
to stay on this type of tear. But there was a ball last week,

(01:48:26):
I think it was on the roadagainst the Yankees, and he ran
a ball down in right center field, and somebody with the analytics team told
me that that ball was the toughestout of the entire day in Major League
Baseball. And he made it lookroutine. You know, he didn't leave
his feet anything, He just gotunder it. He ran it down to
the warning track in right center fieldof Yankee Stadium, which gives you little

(01:48:48):
idea of what kind of ground hecan cover too. Steve, what do
you do? And I'm going toget to a break you in the first
base position, specifically in him ina second. But what do you do
McCormick when he's ready to come up? When you got you know, the
low perffedos, you've got the youknow, the cabbages. He sounds like
I'm talking some vegetables right now.But and when when a Brad comes back,

(01:49:12):
how do you usually do? Yeah? How do you yes? Wait,
wait till I get to all ofthem? How do you manage that,
Steve? If you're the GM andthe manager of who you send down,
you know, I think the wayyou're going to have to juggle all
of this is a little bit ofa platoon. And I think if you

(01:49:33):
look at what's going on in thepast, Chas McCormick was always great.
I mean, he feasted against lefthanded pitchers and if he gets the stroke
back. So he started working thingson things shown this spring, realizing that
teams are going to start pitching himinside a lot because he was wearing guys
out with opposite field power, homeruns, opposite field hits because he's so

(01:49:57):
good at you know, kind ofdiving across the place and just extending his
arms and hitting the ball hard.The other way so he knew he was
going to have to make an adjustment. So he started working on pulling just
about everything and spring training and thisstroke looked a little different. You know,
he'd get some hits and every oncein a while he'd run into one,
but it just didn't look natural,you know, for what he was

(01:50:18):
really good at. So I thinkprobably in his rehab, I'm guessing that
he's trying to work on getting thatstroke back that he was so good at,
going to the office field gap andjust probably take some pitches that are
insight. That's the thing for everybodyis everybody has a weakness, Sean yep.
And if you can lay off thosepitches until you get to two strike,

(01:50:40):
that's almost that's the key to thiswhole gig. So I'd love to
see him get back to that samestroke and then you can match him up.
You know, you get jord Onto play left field on some of
the days that maybe Fromber's pitching andthings like that. But I like McCormick
and left, Jake Myers and center, and of course Kyle Tucker at right

(01:51:00):
field. Yeah, Steve, whatdo you do like in a McCormick's case,
you talk about diving over the plateand that great arm extension opposite field
that he can get the stuff onthe outer half and even on the black
or even outside that he with thatclosed stance you talk about being able to
pull through this rehab. Is hegonna have to change that to open a
little or I mean, how doyou get to those when they're busting you
inside when you are a right centerpower guy? Gather That's that's his place

(01:51:26):
to go with baseball. You know, he said something interesting last year toward
the end because I was asking himabout that. You know, we can
see what guys are trying to doto it, right. He plays really
close attention to what Al Tube doesand Al two bay. What he does
as well as anybody is he reallyjust gets the bat head out. You
know, he'll just react and ifhe sees a pitch inside, then he'll

(01:51:46):
just get the bat heat out andjust react and let his hands take over.
And McCormick has fast and to beginwith. But you know, your
your thought process should always play toyour strength, and I think that's what
he does the best is go theother way, keep that front shoulder closed.
But if he recognizes something inside,he can still use his hands and
get the bad head out and pulla ball with authority and hit one end

(01:52:09):
of the corner or something like that. But I'd love for him to get
to get back to hit straights.There you go. Steve Sparks, Astro's
broadcaster every Monday at eight thirty,joins us a good home stand. So
far, three more games against theseangels and the gap is now four games,
so it's a good start. Steve, and I personally don't care who
the competition. I know the competitiongets better, but you got a birdie

(01:52:32):
the par five, Steve, andthese you know when you play Oakley,
you got a birdie the par fives. You want to win a tournament.
These are the ones. They haveto take care of their business and they
have, which tells me they're notplaying down to competition. Even though Oakland
had a good record going in,they have started to elevate key I mean
getting hits and key positions. Thebullpen is doing their thing. Power was
all over the ballpark this weekend inextra base hits. This is how you

(01:52:56):
have to beat teams you're supposed tobeat. Steve correct, that's right,
said it last week too. Youknow you've got to take care of business.
The schedule got lighter, and theAstros have certainly done that. But
I just like the approach and theexecution. You look at rig Getty starting
to throw some pitches on the lowerrail, so that makes them respect you
know that upper rail more so,and everything looks a lot better. So

(01:53:17):
execution. Having a good game planwith runners in scoring position is evident.
And guys are clicking right now.They're more patient at the plate. We
saw them chasing a lot of pitchesout of the strike zone when they were
struggling. So what they're doing rightnow is what they've been doing the last
few years when they've made deep runsinto the playoffs. And you'll love to

(01:53:38):
see if they know what the winningformula is. They just got to stick
to it. Hey, Steve,is there any is? And I obviously
we don't make this decision, butyou're around it all the time, and
you know expertise on these pitchers.Is Righetti here to stay? I don't
know. You know, there's guyscoming back. There's three guys right that
are on the IL right now withRakidi, Luis Garcia and lancelow Call.

(01:54:00):
So who knows, but he keepsgetting better every game. You know,
Joe Spot has said it even beforethe game yesterday, is like, I
like to see guys get better,especially young guys. What can they take
into this next game and get bettereach time out? Even with the other
teams getting a little bit of abook on Araghetty, he continues to get
better, and that's a good sign. His stuff plays at the major league

(01:54:21):
level, he's just got I mean, he's not going to command the baseball,
and I said that on the broadcastyesterday. It's just he's not a
command guy. He's more of astuff guy. But he's got to be
able to show some stuff lower inthe strike zone. It's just the opposite
of those guys who were pitching lowback in the day. And you've got
to change the eye levels from timeto time. Same thing with Araghetty.

(01:54:44):
He likes to live high at thehigh end of the strike zone. He's
got to show him that he canpitch to the lower portion every once in
a while, or else they're justgoing to wait for mistakes up in the
zone. And the ones that areup in the zone, you know,
when you make mistakes, those areeasy to wat you know, that's a
lot of extra base hits, soeven more so for him, the change
up and the curve ball are goingto be big for him. Steve,

(01:55:06):
when we go to first base andwe talked a little bit about Singleton last
year, it's been a not afull season sample size, but the returns
on the sample size gets bigger everygame. And the talk of a bray
you at least possibly getting back sooner, you know, than later, and
how much minor league time he'll spend. All those questions that come up,

(01:55:28):
I'll ask you simply this, asJohn Singleton earned the starting first base job,
I don't think so. Why Ithink he's doing a very good job.
Why not would would you if abreak comes back, does he automatically
get penciled back in as the starter? Well, I mean, if you
listen to what Dana said yesterday,I mean it's a situation where it might

(01:55:49):
be a platoon, right. Ithink I think Joe's done a good job
and it's been really subtle, buthe's making sure that guys are getting in
there in good matchups. Goes forlow Prpito. If you want to be
honest, you know there's certain there'sholes in people's swings and there's certain pitchers
that don't match up well with guys, and when you put them in there

(01:56:10):
against guys where they can do well, you don't ever see those holes.
I think there's a platoon to behad at first base. Singleton has done
a very good job, especially youknow with defense too. I mean to
playing good Yeah, to playing gooddefense, dude, the more that you're
out there. So I don't know. Look, Brady didn't play well when

(01:56:33):
he got up here. He wentdown to Florida for a reason, you
know, and when he comes backin is it going to disrupt what the
team's done. They've gone eleven andsix without him, they played a light
schedule. Hey, you got tolook at this. At some point you
got to make sure that what didhe had? He had twenty eight RBIs
the last month of last season?Good postseason two Steve, Yeah, he

(01:56:58):
had a good post. I don'tknow. You know, it's a tough
situation for everybody involved, But atsome point they're going to have to plug
him back in there and figure outwhat you have. So I think a
platoon makes a lot of sense.I think everybody understands that a Bray you
might match up better against certain pictures. Same thing with Singleton. And if
you can run a platoon out thereand get closer to an eight hundred ops

(01:57:18):
out of the first base position,I think you'd love that, wouldn't you.
I mean, to get to that'sthat's a position. You need some
you need some productions, you needRBIs and and that's what they're looking for.
I did. At some point,they're going to give a break,
you a chance to prove that goingto Florida worked, right, that's what

(01:57:39):
I mean too, Steve. Yes, Yeah, they have to fa Yeah
so uh but you know the sametime, they're trying to get back into
the division the race. I understandall that. Maybe a little frustration,
but they have to they have tosee what they have. And uh,
sounds like that he's made some adjustmentsand maybe a little bit more on time

(01:58:00):
getting to some fastballs. So he'sa run producer. Yeah, he's done
it. So we'll see if it'sstill in there. Yeah, if the
experiment got his bat speed up andhe's ready to come back and he's notorious
his whole career. See, yeah, that's what it may work and it
may not. That's right, Andit's when it's that quick. We'll see
he's a pro so well, Butthat's the whole thing, Steve. They're
gonna have to least experiment, right, They're going to have to and see

(01:58:23):
what happens with the Rayu. Allright, let me close this out.
I don't know how many different adjectivesor ways we can describe Kyle Tucker.
Is he playing the best baseball you'veseen him? Players? There still another
level, there's probably another level.He's twenty seven years old that this is
the best I've seen. And theextra base hits are just exploding off his
bat. Every time he puts thebat on the ball in a great trajectory,

(01:58:45):
you almost think it's going to leavethe ballpark every time he makes contact.
The way he's swinging it right now. You got painted up a couple
of times yesterday with some backdoor breakingballs, and he comes back with two
homers late. It's just he's prettyridiculous, you know. And as a
ballplayer, I love the body type, and he just seems like a guy
that's always going to be durable.He posts just about every day that you

(01:59:09):
need him to, and he hitsgood pitching. And I've told this to
you many times and You guys certainlyunderstand this that there's not but a handful
of guys that hit really good pitchingover and over and over, and Kyle
Tucker is certainly one of those.You can run a guy in there that's
one of the best pitchers in baseball, and he's going to give him a

(01:59:30):
good battle and a lot of timeshe's going to win. Yeah, And
Steve the right makeup to deal withsuccess and failure, it seems, I
mean, because it doesn't change.There's that flatline part of it. He
just kind of deals with both equallyas well, and that's a good thing.
And dealing with success, there's somethingabout being a younger brother. There's
something about being a younger brother thatI keep going back to that you're just

(01:59:51):
a little bit tougher. You're alittle bit more resilient than the other guys
because you've been picked on your wholelife. Great point. Enjoy the game
the night, brother. It's greatto have you back and to have you
on every Monday. We appreciate you. Thanks, all right, that's a
great Steve Sparks. We'll discuss atKyle Tucker and I do like the mental
and Steve's right durable and the mentaland the mental makeup to deal with success

(02:00:13):
and failure is equally as good.And that's important when you're trying to be
well one of the better players inbaseball, which he is. Sports Talk

Show. Sean Bryan and Tripley herewith you seven one, three, two,
one, two, five seven.Ice came back out to the phone
line, talk Steve. Good morning, Steve, Good morning guys. Yes,

(02:02:28):
Steve Smarks had some interesting comments there. Uh, I know that a'll
bray you what played the first whatmonth and a half, And he was
saying that he, uh that therewas some pictures that he was best at.
Exactly what picture was it? Becausehe was batting against right handed and
left handed pictures and didn't hit offof any of them. And my my

(02:02:51):
point is is at least Singleton hasa pretty damn good eye and has walks.
I didn't understand that at all.I think he would kind of homewarn
for the for the Astros because abreak you could be coming in maybe for
Can you guys tell me what picturehe what pictures he was best at?
And I'll hang up and listen.Thank you, Steve. Uh To be

(02:03:14):
honest with you, Sean, II can't find any He was hitting point
zero nine to nine and on baseof one fifty six one thirteen slugging that's
an ops A two sixty nine.He had appeared in twenty two games,
seventy seven played appearances. Here's butSteve in just three walks. Steve is
right about this. They are goingto I don't know if they're gonna plug

(02:03:40):
him in. We know that.And I went asking Steve and he said
about if John Singleton's earned the firstbase job. He said, I don't
know. And it's a good pointbecause it's a smaller sample size. And
you and I both agreed that hehad right. Steve's around it. Every
day he round the cages, He'saround the talk. But he also has
got expert eyes on what he sees, not that from pitching, hitting it

(02:04:00):
long enough, right, but heis right about this, like it or
not. Not that Steve's right aboutit, but like or not the decision.
He is going to get a chanceto win the job back, do
you do? You do get thatright? I know you do, But
I'm just kind of rhetorical quick.It's going to happen whether he does or
doesn't. And you know, kidcan does a does a hand speed speed

(02:04:21):
up? I mean all of asudden, get through the hitting zones,
a bat speed, get get quickerin three weeks or whatever it's been maybe
maybe not. And you talk aboutthe platoon situation, I could tell you
this if you're looking for a guyto hit fastballs. Of those two,
you're you're you're playing singleton because he'sI mean, that's his strength is he's

(02:04:44):
one of the better. He's beenone of the better with fastballs. He
he likes fastballs, and he's youcan get through the zone and hit him.
So it may be a platoon,but you are going to give and
as Steve said, you have toand people are gonna say why, and
Steven's saying it for the money,but you have to give a ray you
at least a shot to see ifthe experiment worked, and you are going
they are going to do that.I don't know when, I don't know

(02:05:08):
how long, but I can tellyou this that they are going to give
him a shot to see if sendingbecause you know what, you don't send
him down with all that fanfare andokay, going down there and then just
bring him back to have him sitthere. You're gonna say, did the
bag well visual did the visuals onit? Did sending him down there?
Get him back? You are goingto give him a chance to do it.

(02:05:29):
And if he's somewhat productive, guesswhat, Brian, He's going to
be in the lineup. That's exactlyright. He'll be in the lineup.
Uh, just looking at his splitsas we get ready to get into the
nine o'clock hour. So far thisseason, against righty's Jose Bray, you
hit a buck twenty five on baseof one to fifty seven slugg into one
twenty five. That's good for anops to two eighty two. Against left
handed pitching, he hit a whoppingpoint zero four four on base a one

(02:05:51):
fifty four and a slugging of pointzero eight seven. That's a that's an
ops of a staggering two for one. So to answer Steve's question, our
caller, Steve, I cannot pinpointany picture that he saw or hit well
well in twenty twenty four. Therewasn't correct. Just this is what I'm

(02:06:13):
saying there, there was not one. So but he will get the chance
to either fail or succeed. Hewill. He will, and they will
do everything they can to put himin positions whatever that is to what they
feel his strength is, to platunehim into his strength. Don't kid yourself.
They want him to play. Wesaw that they want him to play.
We'll see if that works out.All right. We've talked to Astros

NBA t Wolves beat the Nuggets.The Nuggets blew a twenty point lead,
The Pacers shoot the lights out.They beat the Knicks in Game seven.
Both of those teams, meaning thePacers and the te Wolves, moving on
in the NBA playoffs. It isthe Mavericks and t Wolves in the Western

(02:08:31):
Conference Finals. It's the Celtics andthe Pacers in the East. Mike Malone,
head coach of the Denver Nuggets,this might be one of the best
audio clips of a postgame presser youwill ever hear. He was asked a
question about blowing a twenty point lead, and this is what the head coach
of the Nuggets had to say,Well, how hard is it just to

(02:08:54):
absorb a loss like this after goingahead by twenty? Next question, man,
the season's over. That's plus hardbeing up twenty season's over. You
don't understand that the season's over.It's hard. Stupid ask questions? He

(02:09:16):
said, Oh bad, stupid askquestions. That was real OD Oh yeah,
man, he said, what didhe say? Tripley. I got
yeah, yeah, play play thatplay just like the first ten seconds again,
go ahead by twenty. Next question, man, the season's over.

(02:09:39):
That's plus hard being up twenty.All right, there, it is being
up twenty. Stupid asking. Mike'shad some history with getting firy. Now
he gets fired. I got alot of spice in press conference. I
feel bad for the guy that askedit. But of course, you know
what the answer is going to be. When you give up your season ends
in a game seven, you're thefavorite, you're the reigning champions, and

(02:10:01):
you get beat by those upstart Timberwolvesthat are playing out of their friggin mind,
and you lose at home. Allthe things that you don't ever watch
to happen. And Mike Malone,when you got that spice, you know
it's coming, so you better beprepared for it. And he's right.
Season ends that Uh, that's atough one. So there's only one answer.
It sucked ass. If you're theDenver Nuggets and their fans and their

(02:10:24):
team with the best player on theplanet right now, I mean he's been
that way, Nikola Jocachez for forabout three years, four years now,
he is you don't expect to losethose games. And I don't know how
you did, but I'm gonna tellyou what. The Timberwolves remember at the
start of the playoffs, keep aneye on this team. Dangerous and they're

(02:10:48):
playing with a lot of energy.Now the Celtics along the way, you're
gonna see Indiana, Dallas Mavericks orMinnesota. Timberwolves. Think the pressure's not
falling on Boston to close this oneout. Oh, definitely as a number
one seed. There you are goinginto game number one, they're nine and
a half point favorites. Line's alreadyout for tomorrow. Do you think Mike

(02:11:11):
Malone's out of line doing what hedid? No, I think I need
to be that abrasive to the reporter. Could he have said it without calling
the reporter stupid? Yeah, hecould have done that. That's to see
that to me, Listen, Ilike Listen. I like a guy who's
transparent and honest and says it sucked. If you want to drop an F
bomb, drop an F bomb.But you want to say, man,
that's a hard question for me toanswer because I'm feeling emotional right now.

(02:11:35):
But I get it and then gointo it and I understand he's had time
walking off the court now then thepostgame presser. I personally, we've seen
Popovich do this to some of thepast. We've seen you know, a
lot of we've seen this from theguys that wear their emotion on their sleeve,
right, and Mike Malone does andalways has. I just don't think
even if it's we can all sitback and say, well, what do

(02:11:58):
you think he's gonna say? Idon't think you need to make it personal
to Mike Malone and call the guy, well, that's a stupid question.
You could answer it just as abrasive, without call, without singling out the
person who asked the question. They'retrying to do their job. Some of
them, maybe, you know,maybe don't understand the question. I mean,
when when you about how to aska question in certain situations, you're

(02:12:20):
trying to get an answer because allreporters are looking for something for the everybody's
looking to get answers. Right,if you ask a question everybody knows the
answer to, then you're not We'vealready been You're not doing anybody any good.
Nobody's grown the story. But thatwas a question that we probably all
knew the answer to and knowing theperson. You got to also know your
personnel when you're interviewing Mike Malone afterthat, even a guy who doesn't have

(02:12:46):
a spice is going to explode afterthat. So there's that fine line.
But even if it's a question youdon't like, I personally don't understand the
the why you got to be makeit personal on the guy. He didn't
say, Mike, you blew thelead. He said, how did it
feel about that? And you knowthe answer going to get I don't think
Mike Malone needs to call somebody stupidin a postgame press conference. Yeah,

(02:13:07):
and I think he can allude thatand still be just as abrasive on how
the how the loss felt. Yeah, just just to say, just to
end by some very it may maybe well, very may well be not
a well thought out question, butthat reporter has a job to do and
he's asking to figure out, literally, you're the head coach of the Nuggets,
how are you feeling after your teamjust choked? Not only that,

(02:13:31):
everybody in the room people want toknow how you feel, Mike. Everybody
in the room can make their ownjudgment on if the question was if they
liked the question or not, Andeverybody knows who asked it in the room,
and for those of us, thename's not important. No, I
don't think you need to be demeaningto the person asking the question. There
is a way to get your pointacross without singling out somebody and say that's

(02:13:52):
a stupid question. And at theend, that's a stupid ask question.
Basically you're telling the guy he's dumband stupid and should be doing his job.
You may not like the question,who would in that situation with all
the emotion flowing, but you're heldto a standard that you don't need.
And that's not the big part ofthis the story, But did you really
need to to do? What?If the guy asked the question like this,

(02:14:16):
Mike, you're directly responsible for thisteam. How did you choke this
game away? Yeah? How wouldyou like? That's the difference. The
guy doesn't what Mike Malone deserves bettertreatment than the reporter does. Because and
I like Mike I do. Ilove his fire and spice. I think
he's a hell of a coach.But if somebody would ask the question like
that, you know what everybody bedoing, they'd be well, you can't

(02:14:37):
ask that question to the head coach. Well, then why does the head
coach reserve the right to tell meit's a stupid question. I don't like
that, and I don't think it'sI don't think it's right, and I
don't think you need to demean somebody'sjob or status or where they are because
you didn't like the question. Youcould answer it as hardcore as you want
without singling the guy out and sayingit's a stupid question. I just thought,

(02:14:58):
basically, you're the guy, dumbass, Yeah, and I don't think
you need. Alls I had tosay is reverse it and listen. You
could ask that question with Mike.You're the head coach, you're the leader
of this team. You blew atwenty point lead? How at home?
Now? Imagine how imagine if you'reMike Malone, wouldn't you say you got
a lot of nerve? Doesn't itgo both ways? Yeah? There you
go? You think so? Yeah? Agreed? Seven one, three,

(02:15:20):
two, two, five seven ninetyJoseph, what's going on? Oh?
Yeah, good morning, How you'redoing awesome? Thank you yourself? Fairly
well. I had a good weekend. I hope you had a good weekend.
Also, Uh, I got aquestion I wanted to know. I
know some some sport players out therecan Handicappertine, especially with the one of
them make the top dollars you hadhanded Cappertine within yours and stuff, But

(02:15:43):
tell me now now the extra thingsto be moving along fairly well. The
next question is how much is corTurcker. We worked on his contract and
I hang up in miss thank you. If this continues, he's worth between
thirty two and thirty five million ayear probably. Now you decide the years

(02:16:05):
when I'll forget it. If it'sjust here, I'm talking about anywhere.
You're looking at a thirty five milliondollar year player. And if this keeps
up for two years, let's sayhe doesn't have an extension a the end
of this year rolls into the nextyear. Right, you're looking and and
this pace continues where he plays anotheryear next year, he's an MVP guy
in the league. He's making twelvetwelve this year. Oh, you're going

(02:16:28):
a triple. He's gonna triple hissalary. Yeah, that's about He's going
to triple his salary, his yearlysalary. That's what it's going to be.
Yeah, there's nothing he doesn't dowell, he adjusts. There's nothing
he doesn't do well. So ifthis trend continues, and it's he's been
a good hell, he's been aproducer since he's been in a league.
If this continues, you're looking atguy who's gonna triple his twelve million dollar

(02:16:50):
year salary. Now you decide theyears is his yearly salary. He's going
to be pushing thirty four to fortymillion, depending on the next year and
a half of baseball. Yeah,it's he's going to get it, and
he probably, in baseball terms,will be damn well worth it too.
Yeah, they have to, lackof a better term, hashtag pay the

(02:17:15):
man. Don't don't do that.Leave that hashtag out because then you'll be
assured that he's gone. Okay,don't don't don't no hashtag pay the man.
If you're going to hashtag something aboutgetting paid, just don't say that
same phrase. Can we can weget rid of that three three namer hashtag
pay the man? No, notpray the man, pay the man?

(02:17:39):
praying that he keep him here,Pray for the man to stay. How
about hashtag get that bag. Okay, we'll take that. Yeah, maybe
just don't say it as zesty asyou did. Hash hashtag get that back,

Sewn Salisbury. It's a Sewn Salisburyshow. T Wolves beat the Nuggets in
Game seven, Pacers beat the Knicksin their Game seven as well. Xanderschaffle

(02:20:43):
winning the PGA Championship. Jose AlTuvey today first pitch home run yesterday.
That is his fifty sixth first pitchhome run in his career. Fifty six

(02:21:03):
of them have come off the firstpitch. Another use, useful, useless
stat wealth of it. Carry Carpenterof the Detroit Tigers is the first Tigers
pinch hitter thrown out at home whilestretching a triple into an inside the park

(02:21:24):
home run since Ira Flagstead in nineteentwenty two. What a stat. So
he tried to leg out an insidethe parker and got thrown out the flint.
That's a long time. I mean, you'd think over the course of
time that shouldn't you'd think that that'shappened before, right, Yeah, hit
a gapper guy dives, misses theball, rattles around without kicking towards one

(02:21:45):
of the corner outfielders, and youget to the hiszzy, or at least
you try to, and then somebodymakes a monster throw. Dude, go
back. I want you to.If anybody has a chance. Speaking of
monster throws, go back and lookin the nineteen seventy one World Series,
it was a Pittsburgh Pirates they wereplaying. It was Pittsburgh playing that series.

(02:22:09):
And watch the throw from right fieldthat Roberto Clemente makes without even being
able to croll hop on a ballhit to the corner Pittsburgh in Baltimore.
Yeah, the Baltimoro's That's exactly right, dude. If you get a chance
to see the throw, you will. You've never seen a better throw.
He wheels and throws. He doesn'tget a chance to croll hop into it's
a wheel and has to throw it. And you want to throw the throw

(02:22:30):
to Manny saying he in the onehop to home plate watching it right now,
come on now that you mentioned it, because if you'd have tried to
leg out that one, and thatspeaking of Detroit, maybe that's why it
reminded me of it, because America, I mean Detroit's teams back then with
my team, yeah, Baltimore wasseventy one. That was they were loaded

(02:22:50):
to the Baltimore Orioles with the MarkBalanzer in that group. And that throw
from right field by Colmente, well, have you ever seen a better throw?
I mean there's I mean the oneconsidering he spun spun the wrong way
too, yeah, and he will. He spun the hard way right instead
of the easy way, and withoutbeing able to really take a big step,
the throw was a monster. Well, he's always been known as one

(02:23:11):
of the greatest arms that ever lived. But just the fact, you know,
some guys get a running croll hopstart on the tag or a hard
ground ball to him, they'd runand scoop and croll hop into dude,
he didn't even really get to sethis feet harsh and made that throw.
They prevented somebody from scoring from thirdbase. And in that Pittsburgh Baltimore World
Series, you go back and readstuff about it, and I was young,

(02:23:33):
young at the time, but Clemente'sarm out doesn't. But when the
Detroit found out, Baltimore, Imean Baltimore found out and Clemente was a
friggin beast in the outfield. Soyeah, if that guy in bolt On,
Detroit would have tried to take homeplate against him, he'd have been
out by fifty feet as opposed tojust being thrown out. He'd probably thrown

(02:23:56):
his ass out at third base.That's how good Clemente was so pretty much
reminded me. Yeah, he's hewas unreal, one of the great throws
you'll ever see. Seven seven iythe number to join Chris. Good morning.
Hey guys, good morning. Iwanted to say, first of all,
I know there's other sports in theworld, uh, that you could
be talking about, but you know, listeners like me appreciate all the baseball

(02:24:18):
talk because in my opinion, thisis a baseball town right now, So
appreciate that truth. Uh. Iwanted to say, Joey Luperfido looked pretty
good yesterday. Let's give him someprops. I think it's his first win.
I know he went seven innings.You know, he only had Spencer.
Spencer Arraghetty mean Spencer. Thank you, Brian, You're right, Sorry,

(02:24:39):
no worries, no worries. Heuh, but he's he's putting pressure
on Hunter, in't he? AndUh I kind of like to see Spencer,
uh, stay in the rotation.That's just my gut feeling on that.
I like what he's showing us sofar. But Sean, my last
point I wanted to say, Iagree with you. It's about the money

(02:25:00):
to bray, but I think evenmore it's about legacy. It's about Jeff
bagwell legacy as a front office guy. That's why you see him spending time
like he is in Florida. That'swhy you see all this. You know,
Jeff Bagwell always has a place inour hearts as a player, and
he is trying to you know,make face or or save his reputation and

(02:25:24):
legacy as being a front office guy. So I see that as being a
real important factor in all this sincehe was responsible for bringing a bred you
here, you mean you want tohe wants to carry out to see the
success through is what you're talking aboutexactly, Sean. And and the gut
feeling this morning is and it wasmine when I first when I woke up

(02:25:46):
and I heard a Breo was comingback this coming weekend, I just I
could not understand why the front officewould want to shake up a good thing.
Right now. We all know baseballplayers are very superstitious, you know,
still wearing the headband right now.I mean, why break up that
locker room, you know, thatclubhouse to bring a braio in And Damn's

(02:26:07):
damn straight. He better have toearn his spot back because Singleton is playing
well right now. Thanks guys,thank you, because I'm sure a lot
of people feel that way. ButSteve Sparks is right. They are going
to give him a chance to validatewhy he was sent out to Florida.
And Steve there is exactly right.There's legacy involved for Bagwelliams. I mean

(02:26:30):
Chris, Yes, Steve is Sparks, Chris from Jersey Village. Is He's
right, is you're going to There'sa lot of things factors involved here.
But you, if you're the organization, you just can't send him down and
not give him a chance back.I mean, I guess you can,
but they're not going to. You'regoing to give him a chance to to
see if if things were able toget better down there. Now, whether

(02:26:54):
they can or not, we'll see. Yeah, it's it's the experiment.
You have to see that if ifit worked or not. Yeah, or
then and they'll say, why'd youbring it back if we don't know if
it worked or not. They're gonnathey're going to have to do that.
Do not plug him right away?No, I think he's got to do
so you got to produce. Yougot to prove that he can at least
be plugged in correct, Yes,agreed, Yeah, maybe get a late

(02:27:16):
pinch it at bat or something tobegin with, maybe once every couple of
days, but as far as starteroff the bat, no, agreed.

with fly fishing like everybody did ona River runs through it, you know

where he's at like an Idaho.He said, you have got to go
fly fish. And I've always wantedto do it. It's on my bucket
list because and I imagine a lotof people listening do do it. Like
I said, fish for damn neareverything else. But I've never been fly
fishing, and I've never learned howto tie a fly. Really, do

want to learn, and I wantto. I want to jump in there
and get after it and you knowa little wrist action on a fly fish
and go where there I do,And it's Montana or where Jeff's talking about
in Idol and like stay for aweek and do it all and cook it
at night. I just have neverit's on a bike, and I don't
know why I haven't, But youknow, we go down there and stay
in the lodge and do it right. I want to. I want to

(02:43:11):
do that and and maybe somebody outthere has the best suggestion of where to
go. But love to fish,but I've never been fly fishing. That's
been at the top of my bucketlist for a long time, and my
pops and I never got to doit together before we passed away. You
