(00:28):
Okay, let's do this. SeanSalisbury to USC true longtime friend,
Shawn Salisbury, Bryan Lima, goLobos. This is the Sewan Salisbury Show.
Shawn Tripley, good morning, goodmorning. Nice little Uh. Eighth

(00:48):
inning for the Astros last night,another braggy baumb from Alex Bragman. Oh
my yard, do I have anickname for Yaner yet? Uh? Let's
see. Jeff Blum on the calllast night said Yiner bomb bomb. I
guess maybe maybe Yeah, original,not bad, I get it. Play

(01:15):
on words, Yeah, big comebackyesterday they needed that one. I'm watching
the game and Verlander didn't have hisbest stuff, couldn't spot what he wanted
to, you know, And I'lltell you what which is not like him.
His worst pitches came, or whenI say worse, the ones where

(01:37):
he fed him up to even earlyon to gold Schmidt and I mean give
it up the two home runs,but early on to get the bigger lead
with gold Schmidt and Aeronatto is youknow, up a lot of times in
o two count or one two andon a two strike count, gave him
pitches to drive right. And butthey came back and were pretty resilient.

(01:57):
And that eight thing was big withBregman's two run job and or excuse me,
solo job to tie it. Andthen you got the Yiner Das home
run too, So it was bigman. It was big his two run
home run, and he didn't reallythat ball went down. He didn't really
get that. It was an awkwardrun at it for Dz, but he's
so strong to get it up there, and that that's a Listen, don't
discount how big that wins. Marinerswere off yesterday. He gained a half

(02:21):
game, I believe. I don'tthink Mariners played unless I missed something.
But it was huge for them todo this. And I know it's Saint
Louis and I know it's home,but we've seen the other side of this
all too often this year, andso and it got to a point where
it was a one run game,right, four to three, yep,
four to three. So in theeighth inning, it's a one run game,
and then Bregman's home run and thenDiaz's two run job and then they

(02:44):
get the close out. So really, uh, I think Montero ended up
getting the win and Hater obviously gothis what nights save of the year,
So it was uh, that wasbig. That's a big come from behind
wind because the way it was going, I'm thinking, this is one of
those nights on a Monday night,right the Space City what do they call
those this but what those uniforms calledagain? Space City? Yeah, but
what is it? What is thatthey wear them every Monday? Right every

(03:05):
day? The basically this the astrocity connection connects is what I'm thinking of
it called Space City, mondays,I gotta come Clian, dude. And
even though there there are a hundredtimes better than their normal unifor oh,
I thought you're gonna go the oppositewall, well one one hundred times better
than their normal uniform. Yeah,I love them. That should be their
everyday uniform. I may not saySpace City, but take that color code
and take the other one out andmake that the opposite one. Hell,
I'd make my Space City throwback tothe Sasar sedaniol Bob Watson days and make

(03:30):
that. That's exactly right. Thisuniform they can say that they this one
blows the other one away. Iknow people talk about it, but I'm
sitting there watching two and then let'sthey say, you know what this uniform
is is, Well, we'd usea phrase back where I was from,
but you're not allowed to say itunrated, but it was no, go
ahead, go ahead say it.It's just us here. It's well,

(03:51):
it's another uh, another phrase forone that's tremendousupper body strength starts with the
T. Right, Oh, that'sjust blank, that's the Yeah. So
that's the old school a little.It's kind of a tweeener phrase. I
bet so. Did it sound solike, let's say, let's go back
to when you were like fourteen,so you're probably like, dude, those
jerseys are like so bad to thebone. Yeah, that too, that
too in California. Yeah, wedidn't. We didn't do the you know,

(04:14):
the the Hawaii thing with the thumbin the in the pinky finger for
sure. Yeah, that's so youonly do that in Hawaii. Oh okay,
because it's well, you're on theWest appropriate and if not, okay,
Hawaiian community right, So I uh, but those uniforms are that's far
better than in my opinion, farbetter. It's not even close. But
the win was huge clutch hits.I mean that's what Bregman's five home run,

(04:36):
fifth home run, what's seven games? So yeah, it's starting the
power bat uh alive and well thereand obviously Jordans as well. So they
got long ball and they got resiliencelast night, two things they needed with
the bad news of Jose or Keaty. I don't think the news is going
to be a whole lot better forfor Christian Javier, but it's a it's

(04:58):
a good way to save what wasa very subpart. He was seventy pitches
in three innings. He was ableto Yeah, he sure did. It
was one of those nights and it'sgonna happen. But I'll tell you one
thing I know about that cat.You ever notice he just gets the ball
back and grinds. There's no poutand there's nothing. He may get pissed
and he has a propensity to giveup the long ball, we know that,
and gave up a couple home runsearly, but he's always able to

(05:20):
fight back. You just didn't havebest stuff last night, and when you
don't have that, it's incumbent uponthe rest of the team to do something.
And they get down and you say, here we go again, not
another one of these nights in twentytwenty four, and bam they hang around,
hang around, and then get thebig eighth inning and then close it
out. That is who the Astroshave been in the past when they haven't

(05:42):
jumped out to early leads in theirpast. This year, it hasn't been.
Last night was a I think itwas a I think it was a
monster win. I know that,Well, come on, man, there's
still seven out and all that.I get that, but I can tell
you this seven sounds a lot betterth nate us. And the way they
did it was more impressive to mebecause it would have been easy to get

(06:04):
locked into. Oh man, ourace one way, say our ace,
our guy, our hall of fameis not having a night. We're already
down, and that is a frustrationkicking in again. We're pushing the eighth
inning. We're down. We gotto have and this hasn't been us.
We haven't been able to pull thisstuff off this year. And then bingo,
there they go and here we arewith a win today. So I
tell you there's moments, a bigin moments, last night's moment if it

(06:29):
turns out to be big, ifthey go on a run, last night's
moment was gonna be a big partof it. Feeding off that. Yeah,
going into the eighth inning, theywere trailing in the ballgame four to
three, and obviously we talked aboutyesterday. They were five and thirteen coming
into last night's game in one runball games. And they put up a
four spot, a couple of homeruns in that inning, nine hits total,

(06:50):
four of the Astros, and theyget the w and Josh Hader comes
in, has a really good inning, gets that say, Montero looked good.
Partner Mashinsky has pitched extremely well sincebeen calling up Seth Martinez obviously continues
to pitch well. So it wasall around. I mean outside of Erlander
one hundred and four pitches in fiveinnings. He was, like I said,

(07:13):
dude, he was in his seventies. And the third yeah, which
is just not like him. Putit this way, what you saw last
night is what he usually if he'sgoing the distance, that's eight, that's
eight and a third. If youknow what I'm saying, that's that's him
going the distance with one hundred plus, right, he's so efficient with his
pitches and ay, but if youlook back, he didn't get a loss,
but he looked back, what ishe very good at after a loss?

(07:35):
Making adjustments? And that's exactly soif you're a gambling man his next
start, figure that he'll come outthere and do something really really good and
get a lot of swing and miss. And that's just too. And I'll
tell you what his fastball was,ninety five, ninety six. It was
it just he just couldn't locate lastnight, especially with two strikes. But
I loved and he's got to loveit too, even though it wasn't his

(07:58):
best start. He's see, wepeople are better than me people WNBA's got
a lot to learn about that.They if they were more we than me,
they'd probably embrace what's going on.But I think Verlander looks at it
and says, I would imagine,says, you know, I have my
best stuff. But that's what goodbaseball teams do. Last night looked like
an Astros baseball team late in thegame, which I liked. They were

(08:20):
three for nine with runners in scoringposition, well, with's that three thirty
three? Yeah, I can livethere. Yeah, same, I can
live there, yep. And thenyou look on the flip side of it,
the Cardinals two for five, obviouslyhitting a couple of home runs,
three of them in the game,all off of Verlander. Would you go
make a bid for Paul gold Schmiththis offseason? His last year of his

(08:41):
contract? He's thirty six, Ithink right now is his average declined a
little bit, but you know he'scapable. Would you go make a play
for gold Schmith in the offseason?I would rather go after vlag Regie to
trade deadline. Yeah, I getit. Yeah, Goldchman ain't gonna cost
you anything that would I just Idon't want to get back into that.
Well, I mean they just Imean they did the same thing. Well,

(09:03):
I don't want to compare him inJose A Bray You you can't,
but you'd feel like the last threethird base when we're all aging nearly at
the end of his Yeah, bringingover a Bray you and now gold Schmidt.
But you'd have to be smart withthe money. Yeah, that's the
whole thing. Well, let meask you this, what if at the
trade deadline Saint Louis decided they weresellers and you had to give up a

(09:24):
whole bunch to get lad but youdidn't have to give up a whole bunch
to get Gold. What would youdo then, I think I would take
Would you at least consider it?I would? Yeah, at least you
have to listen, right, theyneed a first baseman. I you know
what you're gonna get from him,he may not, and you're gonna get
great leadership. And let's say goldSchmid's got what a couple of years a
good bas you know, a coupleof good years of baseball left. But

(09:46):
the problem is, if you're goingto get him, you got to If
it's a rental, then you're you'regoing all in. That's what that's what
you're doing. But just a thought. But I think that the fact that
I'll tell you where he's going tosuffer if it was coming here is the
last guy they got, right,it would prevent well, gold Schmidt and
Bray will come on out. Well, Abray, he's been an MVP.

(10:07):
Gold Schmith's been one of the betterhitters in the league the last fifteen years.
Yeah, he's this season number isnot very good. Neither the corner
out the corner enfield for them,Oh, producing offensively, but I would
not. I would not get toif you're gonna tell me Alex Bregman can
do this stuff too. I wouldanticipate that both gold Schmidt and and uh

(10:28):
aeronauto will find ways to get alittle hotter, wouldn't you? Yeah,
knowing? Yeah, fifties a homeruns, Yeah, two fifty seven five
home runs and ops or just sixteighty one him and him and Paul Goldschmith
not lighting it up. Bregman ishere though, Yeah, over the last
couple of days, he's been hot, that's for damn sure. Also,
some not so good news is KyleTucker fout the ball off of his shin.

(12:26):
update on Christian Javier Texan's kicking offmandatory mini camp this morning. In that
big eighth inning last night, AlexBregman hit a solo job to tie the
game and then yannire Diez hits ago ahead homer. This is how Bregman's
home runs sounded on the broadcast threetwo and Bragman hits it in the air,

(12:52):
tap till I fail, then youcan't gets it? Goodbye? Oh
with the community. Later, sons, Bragman smith run at his last seven
games and we're tied at four.Well, they needed somebody to step up.
Bragman did it last inning on defense. This half ending, he does
it on offense with a jack toleft bil Brekfant ninth home run of the

(13:16):
season, five home runs in hislast seven games for Alex Bregman. Yan
your Diaz and you kissing goodbye?You can kiss him boy? Can we
get to see you later? Let'ssee what to see how the call was
with Yan your Dias home run firstpitch and DS cranksit down of left field
line. Hooking. If it staysfair, it's trouble and it's a fair

(13:37):
ball home run. Yer Ds putsthe ash, frolls ahead. Two run
shot makes it six to four,first homer since April eleventh, and it
doints off the chick fil a foulpole. Jiner slams his bat out on

(14:00):
the ground as soon as he hitit. Nothing better than a good joint.
Love a good double doint too.Oh you got to joink it.
I was a Robert for Steve Sparkson the call right interrupt, you see
you later or you kiss You gota little change up pitch, We got
this. I think he was waitingfor it to creep inside the foul pole
and slam it, joinked. Ijust want to see you later. Well

(14:20):
you got a you could kiss itgoodbye? Yeah, up, Hey,
there's always something to be grateful foryou, ain't you ain't? And yeah
exactly, I feel you dog failyou Yep, big win last night.
I'm telling you. I like thesewins. Easier wins or ten to one.
I love those. You get alittle leeway. I like these when

(14:43):
it comes to when you hammer theteam forty four to three in a football
game, I don't know how muchwe learned when I was playing, but
I can tell you what you learnedother than your building confidence and all that,
and I get it, but Iknow what you learned when you had
a character win. And last night, even though it wasn't beating the Yankees
or the Dodgers or the phill itwas a character win and one that this
team desperately needed for them, forgetfor it for us, for them,

(15:07):
and it was big and that especiallyon a night when you're pitching your starting
pitcher did not have anywhere near hisnormal best stuff. Yeah, one hundred
plus pitches through five innings for JustinVerlander. One hundred and four to be
exact. Kyle Tucker fouled a balloff of his shin, tried to walk
it off, He eventually left thegame. Joe's spot after the game talked

(15:31):
about it being a contusion. However, some of the media reporters I know
Channel Rome reported it and a coupleothers saw him walk out on crutches.
So you hope that that foul ball, You hope that's not an il stint?
Right? So is it one whensomebody throws it inside and knocks you

(15:52):
down? On a fastball. Whatdo we call that? Chin music?
Yeah? Chin music? Gay?And so what did he get shin music?
Yeah? Yeah, hopefully it'll justbe you know, I'd like to
think that maybe that was probably Ihope. I'm not a doctor, but
let's play one on radio this morning. He wanted in the six truck Hour
doctor Slasburry, what's going on?I like to think, damn it,
Jim, I'm a doctor, nota doctor. In that The Star Trek

(16:14):
with with Billy Shatner and Jill sYeah, I would like to with with
this. I would like to thinkthat it was more precautionary, just in
case there was you know, ifthey if he chipped a bone off his
foot or something. Hopefully it'll beokay. These usually don't last long.
I can't fathom with Tucker's durability unlessunless it hit an incredibly obviously it hit

(16:38):
harder wouldn't pulled him out of thegame. But unless it did some some
damage, it's not normal. Usuallydoesn't keep durable players out fifteen days,
right, you know, maybe hemisses a game or two, but I
wouldn't think. I mean, atleast from my vantage point, I don't
feel like it should keep him outthat long, but you never know.
It may hit in the spot Isaid, some things shoulday. How did

(17:00):
that happen? Well? Uh,precautionary more. I would imagine all the
crutches. Was he in a boot? Uh no, just yeah, that's
it. You probably want to keepit stable, and they take a little
I would imagine after a little swellinggoes down, you take a little more
look at it the next day orso. Let's see. Yeah, so
Kyle Tucker needed crutches to get aroundthe Astros clubhouse, but said X ray's
where negative and nothing is broken.He expects to undergo more tests tomorrow.

(17:23):
That was chanting the room, tweetingthat out last night. I'm sure he'll
be there early today in the trainingroom early today, get his get some
treatment in probably a little sore thismorning. Was a ball off your shin
straight bone is miserable. Little shinmusic, like we said, little music.
Uh, Tucker has listed as dayto day. Yeah, that's that.
That's You're not putting him on anyIL. He'll be all right.

(17:45):
No, I hopefully I'll trust himhis toughness, you know, and if
for some reason he has to goon the IL, you know who's going
to be brought back up, Joeylittle Perfito. That's it. Do you
go Lopo yet, No, it'slopes Lope. When him and I are
you know, when him and Iare talking, I call him. We

(18:06):
had a question actually come in aboutJoey Loperfido from at tall Hondo on Twitter.
He said, why not low Perfidoas the first baseman of the future.
I think we've we've we've well echoyour sentiments. My man feel the
same way. So one thing Idid see, haven't I seen him play
a little more first base time?Haven't I seen him get a little run

(18:26):
down there triple at first base copSo one thing I did see is Chandler
Rome reported on this last week,is that although he gets some run at
first base in triple A, healso gets some run at the big league
level at first base. The Astrosorganization see him as an outfielder, just
a pure outfield Can you see himas a pure as a full time center

(18:48):
fielder. Yeah, I can too. Yeah. If he swings in as
consistent as he did even in thesmall sample size, I want more Joey
Loperfedo. Yeah, And if hecan and if he's he's a great bass
stealer. He runs, so youhe can cover gap to gap. Yeah,
so you may maybe you turn himinto a i know, first base
because it's a weakness when we rightnow the production over there, right,

(19:11):
I understand why we all crave thatguy or somebody there. But if you
could make him a full time centerfielder that can cover ground, run the
bases, hit for power, who'sthat remind you of? Sorry, I
was reading another art. Who's thatremind you of? A guy who can
run the bases? It's been here, run the bases, hit for power,
and cover a lot of ground incenter field? Oh, Martin Maldonado.

(19:32):
Yeah, that guy George Springer exactly, so from from a different side
of the plate, so you know, with some pop and stuff. So
it that because it's easier to finda corner outfitter than is especially a left
fielder, than it is a centerfielder. So if he's a versatile. Now,
depending on what happens with the McCormickmyers, that whole thing, maybe
low Berfedo, like you said,is a natural outfielder, but also maybe

(19:52):
a turn him in with his withwith a guy who can run a regular
center fielder. Yeah, So basicallywhat I was reading is the game that
he's been playing down Triple A sincehe got sent back down, and he's
had a couple of first base starts, but for the for the most part,
he's been in the outfield. SoI like, I mean, we've
echoed the same thing at the bigleague level, at least this year.

(20:15):
Give us low Perffito at first base. If the struggles continue with Singleton and
Jose Brayew, versatility is a goodproblem to have. They see they see
him as an outfielder. So whenare we ever going to get paidro leone
run? What's going on there?I don't know, man, you know,
it's been like three plus years.That four years have people been talking.

(20:37):
It feels like it's been longer thanthat, but a good solid three
years, and it's like, when'she coming up? You know, just
play shortstop, can play the outfield, and maybe I don't even know what
his numbers are in the minor leagues. Right now, he's crushing it.
Yeah, I knew that. Idon't know if he's what he's hitting for
average, or if there's something that'spreventing him other than the guys in the
major league level that they feel morecomfortable with. But every year it feels

(21:00):
like they're trying to run him.Everybody wants to, like get a get
a look at him. He wouldever get a look at him. He's
hitting two eighty seven on base percentageof three eighty one, a slugging of
five point thirty five, which isan ops of over nine hundred at nine
sixteen. Yeah, I knew hewas bringing some pop. I just didn't
know eleven. Okay, So Ithink the last i'd seen he was an

(21:21):
eight or nine home run. Sohe's at eleven though I don't Here's the
here's the thing that gets a littleconcerning. If you're hovering around but you're
not playing great baseball and somebody makesyou attempting offer, you know who they're
gonna want. Oh, they're gonnawant Pedro. Leon's exactly right, because
he's the guy that's right there onthe you're Corey Lee of other guys.
You know, when if you feellike you got somebody at the position,

(21:42):
like a low braffito in the outfieldor listen, Paeder Leon's not playing shortstop
anytime soon here, Okay, Sohe's going to play in the outfield,
I would imagine, and if yougot that, you know one of those
two guys would be on the Ifyou're if you're going to trying to get
a guy, if you're the assat the deadline of buyer and you're going

(22:02):
to get a seller, if you'rean organization like Toronto and you mentioned Vlad
Grill, aren't you asking for oneor both of those cats? Yes?
If I'm line his mid twenties,aren't you saying, gimme Low Perfido as
a minor league arm And aren't yousaying again and gimme Pedro Leon two?
I mean, if you're staring there, that's where you're looking. They had
an over and abundance of catching,so you were able to move Corey Lee

(22:25):
correct and make the Ironerd as yourstarting guy. If that was a case.
If I'm an outside just judging frommy I'm not even talking about Low.
I'm talking about players that we knowtheir name and their performance. If
I'm an opposing team and I'm goingto give up an asset for you,
a player that's going to help yourteam. Now, one of those two
guys on my radar, don't youagree? Yeah? Pop, they wouldn't

(22:45):
play the outfield right, can run, So I would have to look at
them. Yeah, you would haveto look at Pedro Loan Leoni. You'd
have to look at Joey Loperfido.I'm asking for him. If I'm giving
you a good player, I don'tthink the Astros would give them up.
But if I'm an opposing team,yeah, I'm looking to try to make
some kind of trade. Than thoseare the guys that I'm asking for,
That's what I'm saying. And howmany times if you're desperate, if you're
a team desperate thinks you need toget over the top, do you do

(23:07):
it? But also how many timescan you keep giving up assets? Yeah?
Exactly if you're that Astros, whenyou've lost a couple of years of
those guys because of what happened withthe Sting scandal, right, yeah,
those draft picks went away, youknow, and it came from that.
Those those are two of your verybest, Oh, for sure, there's
no question. And you're the otherone is pitching on the major league level
right now. In with Araghetti.H Dana Brown actually spoke to Chandler Rome

(23:33):
in regards to being a buyer ora seller when it comes to the trade
deadline. I also take your callsat seven one, three, two point
two, five seven nine. Youroll along right here on The Shawn Salisbury
Show. The Shawn Salisbury Show continued. Maybe Walker, eight o'clock mark your

(23:56):
calendar, Clay Walker, damn right, you know what, you know what
it is. You know what I'mstarting to buy as you should. I've
already bought into the the Texans.Do you want me to buy in to
Clay his cut? Yeah, thefootball song. I like Clay. No,

(24:17):
I know you like Clay, butyou know there's more on that song.
Man, you said he did yousee we're a sports show? Did
you see Fauci yesterday? Yeah?Yeah, I seen that. Yeah you
saw. I've been so I'm alwaysinterested to see how. I don't mean
this in any any way, butlike the younger generation, well the younger

(24:37):
generation just because of what so youwere in college in twenty twenty correct triple
right? Indeed, yeah, seethat's it. Make sure you stay six
feet the made up thing. Staysix feet away that Fauci made up's say.
This doesn't not to do with politics. Screwed the politics. This is
you tune into TV and or watchingthe guy. He's the biggest fraud in
the last three decades, four decades, and is a criminal through and through.
He perjured himself fifty times yesterday.This guy is a clown and in

(25:04):
a horrible human being and quite franklycrappy at his job apparently, and making
money off everybody he made up thesix feet you closed your bar and restaurant
and you can and cost yourself seeingfamily while Fauci's laughing all the way to
the bank. I just had toget that in my mind, because you
know what I wanted to. Idon't care who you vote for, how

(25:25):
old you are, young, Idon't care about all. That guy is
the biggest fraud we've had in fivedecades, Okay, And and and he
is and he is, I meanhe literally damn your single handedly. Millions
of lives are in are on areon his back, and it ain't in
a good way. He's a friggincriminal and ought to be treated as such.

(25:45):
Fraud, complete fraud, and completefraud. And Missley, you talk
about a wolf in sheep's clothing.What a horrible human being. Okay,

runs, don't don't don't say nothingto me and I And I'm gonna tell
you U bring you See he's gotemotional he's over anxious to do something and

(28:25):
that's why his timing is off.But maybe when you know how, he

on a dollar dog. Now youfeel me? You do? Don't you
Why he's looking at me like that? Because I what I saw. I
look at your eyes and say hotdog? And you do you think that
it's got to be You're in thewindows, dude. You know what?
Whoa, whoa, it's forty inthe morning. Whoa. Uh the ass

(29:18):
are seven games back, by theway. But she loves her team and
if if if Garcia and mccullors docome back, I loved that Steve Sparks
said yesterday that the ball was jumpingout of Garcia's hands and a live live
on you know VP. I likedit. I like it. Yeah,
so see, I'm curious to seewhen, you know what would he say?
Maybe August, he suggested, PossiblyAugust. He's sure than mccullors.

(29:42):
So if Garcia comes back in August, my callers ain't coming back until September
at the possible playoff run. Yeah, but miss Carroll's fired up. She
loves her team. Good for her. We love our astros in Houston,
all and all across the Lone StarState and even into Louisiana, where Miss

(30:03):
Carroll's from originally. Correct, Thereyou go over? What do they call
it the boot? Isn't that right? The boot? What are you asking
us for telling? No, I'mI'm asking. I'm gonna assume that that's
what they call it. I justcalled Nolin's. Yeah, I love the
Louisiana. Yeah, there you go. Don't say Louisiana. How do you
say, let me hear you saythe truth. You say Louisiana. I

(30:26):
do say Louisiana. What do yousay Louisiana. That's the legit? How
you say it? Yeah? Isit Louisville or Louisville. It's Louisville,
Louisville. Yeah, I told youthat. Don't call it Louisville. Okay,
then they'll know you're so. Isthat Louisvilleton or Louis Vauton? I

But it didn't say Louisvaton, Louilou Yeah, Louis Bvuton Yeah, So
it's Louis Bauton, yes, andLouisville, well, Louis Well, I
don't think the folks in France orwherever Louis Vuton was created had the same
accent. Yeah, I had thesame accent as folks down in Louisville or

(31:15):
in the South or you know whatI mean, Kentucky. Okay, but
I just call it Louvaton and reallyl v it. So it's Louis Vuitton.
Yeah, right, so it shouldbe Louisville. Well, you could
call it what you want. I'mjust telling you if you want to roll
up into the when you and Igo to the derby together, I would

(31:37):
suggest you just pretend like you've beenthere. When you score a touchdown,
don't make your first Louisville. Rightwhen we go to Clemson for a game,
don't say Clemson with the Z Clemson. That's what I said. Little
there's a little pe there and there'sno P in it. But after the
m just give me a hint topee. I've told you that, not
a hint to pe. That didn'tsound right. Do yeah, and don't

(32:43):

Hey, you get a little firedup, I'm gonna be right there to

The fire on my belly, youknow that. But then you put a

(33:50):
ball that's like three ft from thepen. I'm gonna challenge the shamba.
There's a lids the lift door.We're all right, let's get to break.
Dana Brown had some comments on thetrade deadline. That's next. You're
back. This is the Sean SalisburyShow. Get back at it. Dana

(34:15):
Brown spoke about being sellers or buyersat the trade deadline, and in this
he said that I don't see anyscenario where were sellers. If there's any

(34:39):
sign of hope, I can't seeus doing it. End quote. And
actually, so we actually help you. We got that audio. Yeah,
what's the threshold hope in your mind? Bright? Real quick before we hear
what Dana said. What's the thresholdof when they say I can't see any
scenario if there's hope, There's noway in six weeks they can fall out

(35:01):
of hope? Is there? Theycan't. They can't go on that kind
of streak, can they? No? I don't think so. Okay,
So if it's inside ten games hope, I think so twelve games that's pushing
it. I think ten games ispushing it. Actually, So the threshold
for use ten games twelve maybe fifteenout. They ain't gonna be fifteen out
that No, I don't think thatwill. Yeah. What I'm saying is

(35:22):
that'd be eight games between now theygo eight more games out? No way?
Yeah, No, I don't thinkso. Yeah. So just the
realistic part of it with this team, I don't think they're going to be
in the seller business either, becauseI don't think they're gonna be that far
out of it now. They maybe nine games out, but I think
to them and listening when Dana Browncomes on each week and Steve Sparks,

(35:44):
I don't think that they believe thatnine games is hopeless. You're not gonna
be able to move a bray.You you're not gonna Bregman's just remember we
said the scenario that would drive youcrazy is that Bregman's heating up and there's
still seven or eight or nine gamesout. What do you do? That's
the one that got that gets youbecause you think, well, maybe we're
not gonna be able to sign himanyway, so let's resign him. So

(36:05):
let's go get somebody else. Yetnine games are still hope, and if
he gets hot five home runs inthe last seven games, now it's like,
Okay, if this keeps up,you're not going to move him.
You're just going to play it throughand see what happens and risk losing him
a free agency. So I thinkI'm on data Brown side, not that
you shouldn't go get somebody, butI don't think that they're going to be
in a seller's mode because I don'tthink this team's that type of team that
says we're officially out of it,because I think if they think they're mathematically

(36:30):
in it, which at the AllStar break, you will be mathematically in
it. After eighty games, you'regoing to be in it. Eighty five
games in it to them, Ithink is inside of a dozen games.
So looking ahead, like to theschedule, the trade deadline is July thirtieth,
so just second half of the seasonstarting July nineteenth, three games in

(36:52):
Seattle, three in Oakland, andthen home against the Dodgers and the Pittsburgh
Pirates. You also look at theend of the first half, you have
Miami, sorry, you have atToronto, at Minnesota, home against Miami,

(37:13):
home against Texas, so you gotto take into consider it. And
they also have some games against theNew York Mets before the All Star breaks,
so you have some favorable matchups.If they play five hundred baseball,
they're not gonna be a dozen gamesout. No, They're just not.
Yeah, because the Mariners aren't gonnago on a fifteen and two runs,

(37:34):
right, I wouldn't think. Idon't think. So they're gonna they're gonna
be inside of ten games. Yeah, and that's hope. Yeah. So
let's hear uh, let's hear theaudio from Dana Brown speaking about the trade
deadline hangover. Just a little technicaldifficulties triple yeah, go ahead, sorry
about that. We would have toreally fall apart from that to happen.

(37:55):
I mean, the pitching would haveto be struggling, the hitters would have
to be struggling, and if there'sany sign of hope, I can't see
us going and right now, evenwhen you're losing and the players are still
playing well and you're losing by onerun games, two run games, at
some point you feel like it's gonnaturn around. So I don't feel like

(38:15):
this any scenario where we're gonna beselfish. I just really I think the
team is too good. I thinkeven though we're struggling with some injuries right
now, I think our rotation's good. I still think we have depth in
triple A. I think our batsare gonna get hot. I mean,
we haven't hit all cylinders yet,and so the fact that we haven't hit
all cylinders yet that tells me alot. And once we hit all cylinders,

(38:37):
we got hot here for a minute, and it looked good for about
a week. We won all thosegames in a row. I think that's
coming multiple times, so I thinkwe're gonna get hot at some point.
I'm not in panic mode. We'vegot one hundred and two games left,
and I think this team is areally good team. Man. That's a
general manager Dana Brown talking about itmakes sense, really good team that needs

(38:59):
performances late late, any performances likelast night and down four to three at
one point, they win a onerun game late, which is good.
Big big play by big bat byBregman, and then jinerdy Is to homer
a couple of times. The longball's been in play for them for a
minute now, and it looks likeJordan's starting to starting to power it up
a little bit and the balls jumpingoff his bat as well, we'll see.

(39:22):
And they're getting good pitching. It'sodd. They've been getting great pitching
from their starting staff and then lastnight their guy didn't have his best stuff
and then the bats overcame it.But that's who they've been in years past.
Oh you're not doing well, wegot you. Oh you're not doing
well, well, we got youand when you get both and then both
are rolling. That's the stuff DanaBrown's talking about to go on that twelve
out of fifteen type run. Ifthey do, all Star Break comes around,

(39:45):
they'll be they may be looking upat Seattle, but it may not
be in a you know, ata deep tunnel. It may just be
the light may be a lot closerthan you think looking at the in situation
for jose er Keating. Then obviouslyKyle Tucker with the ball off of his
shin last night, the Astros lookingto try to avoid more injuries. What's

(40:10):
the latest on Christian Javier. Wegot updates about jose A Rakety will go
through those as well. Let's getinto seven o'clock hour right here on the

(41:15):
Houston. Okay, let's do this. Sean Salisbury to USC Truth, longtime
friend, Shawn Salisbury, Brian Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sean
Salisbury Show. Multiple riders that Tommywe like to call them, multiple sources

(41:35):
that Tommy John was going to be, uh, the likely outcome for Jose
or Keaty. Well, the generalmanager, Dana Brown was asked about Jose
or Keaty and Christian Javier both.This is what Dana Brown had to say.
We're going to get the second opinionsand then we'll have a little bit
more parity. As I mentioned before, you know, with these things,

(41:58):
it's all about how the player feels. Uh. You know, sometimes the
player feels good. You know who. They think he needs surgery for thee
So, but he's gonna get asecond opinion. That's a little well,
Moss, only a couple more days. That's not the information we have right
now, and so that's why we'regetting our second opinion. So we'll know

(42:19):
more in a couple of days.Okay, So he says, that's not
the information we have right now.ESPN reported first Jeff Passing uh Than Chandler
Rome and The Athletic that jose Orchidiis en route to see doctor Keith Meister
for a second opinion on his elbowand a second Tommy John surgery is on
the table, two sources tell theAthletic. ESPN was first Channel Road tweeting

(42:45):
it out. Well, the generalmanager Dana Brown mentioned that's not the information
that he has, so either way, it's not good news for either.
We still have a little information onChristian Hovey, you have a little more
more on jose Erkety and they're stillseeking second opinions and it's taking almost two

(43:07):
weeks now. For whatever reason,it's never a good thing to have second
opinions. But looks like jose OrKeaty could be headed towards another Tommy John.
Me personally, my opinion, Ithink Christian Xavier is going to be
headed for the same fate of TommyJohn. Is just taking there. There's
just too much time is passing byfor any kind of good news to come

(43:30):
from either of these scenarios, andit's not good. It's not good for
the pitching staff, not good forthe rest of the season. Even though
you're hoping to get something for LuisGarcia and again, whatever you get from
Lancepec color Junior as a bonus,well, no news you get for Christian
Javier is gonna be good news rightnow. It's gonna be better news if
it's not Tommy John or something alongthose lines. Doesn't require surgery, so

(43:51):
that I guess that is good news. But you're not gonna get the news
that Christian Javier is pitching next week. You're just not good news usually come
when you say, hey, goodnews happen. He's gonna be out.
They would have already told us he'son the ill and to see in fifteen
games. They're fifteen days, soit's not gonna be what you want to
hear, but hopefully it won't bewhat you heard about Christian Javier, I
mean about the Jose Air kitty.So the news won't be anything that's gonna

(44:15):
brighten your day unless a year.I mean, it'll brighten my day if
it's a month injury instead of ayear, that would be great. But
I don't think it's going to bethat. Hey man, Christianavier back in
the starting rotation in twelve days oreight days. I don't think you're going
to see that. Brian. That'sjust my opinion. And you and I
aren't doctors, but usually good newscomes quicker than this, right, you
know what I mean? What istaking so long up extra opinions to try

(44:39):
extra opinions? You and I bothknow that normally, when it's a good
opinion, if the first one isa favorable to the player, you don't
go get a second one normally secondly, but on the other side, if
it's a bad one, you goget it. You're trying to find some
kind of glimmer of hope that canwe do this without whatever it is.
That's just been the history of thesethings. For me. I hope it's

(45:00):
news that doesn't require surgery, Butthe doctors are going to decide that,
well, they're gonna have some decisionsto make because you're gonna have to stick
with a five man rotation unless youbring somebody up from Triple A. And
going forward, you're gonna have toworry about Spencer Araghetti and Renelle Blanco throwing

(45:21):
the most innings that they've ever thrownin their life at the big league level.
That's gonna be issue down the road. So Luis Garcia throwing you know,
live VP, inching his way closer. You can't wait to get him
back, especially if both of christNavier and Jose Air Khitti are gonna be
out for a significant period of timeor the rest of the season, whatever
the case is. But like yousaid, just having the second opinions and

(45:44):
third opinions and fourth, but whateverit is, and taking this much time,
it's never a good thing, evera good thing. So they're gonna
have some decisions to make. Andagain we hit on it a little bit
earlier. Last hour, Kyle Tuckerleft the clubhouse in a not in a
walking boo, but on crutches.So you have to wait to hear something

(46:04):
today. Hopefully he's just a littlebit sore and it's a day today.
Think gi him a day off today. They do have a day off on
Thursday, so maybe give my dayoff today and tomorrow and getting ready for
the weekend series. You can't affordto lose him too, agreed, So
I have to wait and see whatwe get from from Kyle Tucker. I
can assure you the news about KyleTucker will be a lot better than the

(46:27):
news about Jose or Katy and ChristianHobvier. Yeah, and he'll be playing
sooner, right, having an AllStar MVP type season if it continues.
So and if they can make arun, it'll heighten his awar because he's
having a hell of a year.Yeah. And last night, excuse me,
last night, you had a gamewhere you were down one run and
the Astros found a way to win. Like, that's the Astros that we

(46:49):
know get it done in an inning. A couple of home runs from Bregman
and yannier Diez. Earlier in thegame, Jordan Alvarez also had a home
run. He had two more hits. He was two for three with two
runs two RBIs, a home runand a walk. So he looks like
he's starting to excuse me, startingto swing it a little bit better.

(47:10):
Al Twovey had a big hit latelate in that game as well. Jake
Myers continued to swing it well.He was two for four, Jeremy Paniel
with a hit, and Jannerdy isobviously with that home run, and then
it could have been man, itwould have been a little bit dicey.
Oh, could you imagine if ifthat eighth inning doesn't happen, because you

(47:32):
look back in the I believe itwas in the seventh inning. Was it
the seventh inning where you had let'ssee, no, I'm sorry, it
was a sixth inning. You hadbases loaded and you couldn't manufacture a run.
Yeah, And that goes right intothat was the sixth right, if
I'm not mistakecond that goes right intobecause Dz. Here we go Diz with

(47:54):
a horrible I bet here we goout to the picture and good for him
to come back in the eighth inningand make up for a poort bat,
right, Yeah, And that tellme you weren't thinking at the time.
Here we go again, leave andrunners standard, what in the world are
we doing here? And then theeighth inning. It just tells you to

(48:14):
be able and good on a youngDiaz to be able to say that was
a poor it bat, and I'vehad a lot of poor back He's had
a lot of port bats recently.Yeah, and then does that goes down
and gets one and pounds it inside, you know, off the water,
off the foul poles. So itwas, uh, that eighth inning was
more like what we're used to seeingfrom the Astros in the past. And
you know, hopefully you use itas a trampoline to springboard yourself. You

(48:35):
know how I know that the Astrosone, let's go to line four,
line three, line one. Astrosmust have won last night. Oh yeah,
you dude, it's it's it's ait's like it's clockwork. Yeah,

(48:57):
I mean maybe listen, I'm talkingabout the call. Did you get their
eye? Or far more when theylose, right then when they win.
When they win, I think it'slike, oh, I expected to win.
So I'm not really worried about this, but it was. It wasn't
pretty, but it got really goodin the eighth and so those wins are
more character building for me than anywin that you score fourteen runs and when
fourteen to three, when that atbat four yan your Diaz happened in the

(49:22):
bottom of the six with the runnerson, people were sccreaming for Jospota to
pinch hit for him, and theywere pissed that he didn't pinch it for
him. And then he keeps himin the game, comes up in the
anthing and hits the ball. Ithink pinch it for him in the sixth
a little too early for me?For Yer, Yeah, yeah, think

(49:44):
about this. Obviously it worked out, but what would they have been?
What would they have said? Thissounds vaguely familiar. Craving for Yaner to
pinch hit for Marchie, Maldonado,Maldonado, Yeah, now you're craving for
Victor Caratini. Yeah, to pinchhit Forodas, Crazy, isn't it.

(50:04):
It's called the Backup's always better apparently, you know what I'm saying. Work,
I know, I know, Butgood for you on here Diaz to
come up in that clutch situation andhit the pom which propelled the Astros to
a big win four spot in theeighth ending. All right, let's get
to the steakout next. On SportsTalk seven eighty, this is this Sewan

(50:25):
Salisbury show. Yes, yes,that's very nice. Now with that fresh
leather scent. On Sports Talk sevenninety. All right, Sean, what
are you hearing out there now?The Salisbury's takeout, Salsbury Takeout on the

(50:49):
Sean Salisbury Show. It's time forthe steakout right here on the Seawn Salisbury
Show, Sean Bryan and Tripoli Astrosback in action to night against the Cardinals
in to May Park, seven toten, the first pitch six o'clock on
deck Show right here on Seve Hiney, your home Frastros Baseball Texan's kicking off
mandatory mini camp this morning over atNRG Stadium. Seven one three, two
point two five, seven ninety isthe number to join Triple. It looks

(51:15):
like the phone lines are working.Check that out Manyeah, you ready showing
hersk and you shall receive you scared, dude, I'm not scared of anything.
Okay, nothing at all. HuhRob, you're up first? Good
morning, Good morning guys. Hey, So last night big win. Obviously,

(51:37):
I don't remember any other game thisseason where we came back that late
in the game and actually came awaywith the win. Awesome, awesome job
for you. Iiner A Spoty evensounds better in his postgame interviews, and
he sounded most of the year.So hopefully this is the turning point they
need. Pregman's doing well. Lookslike your Don's back off of a bad

(51:57):
month and he's doing what he needsto be doing. So lots of good
things to come out of last night. But not to put a dark cloud
over it or anything, but Ineed Jell's help. See if you,
guys, can make any sense outof what a Spot was thinking when he
decided to go with a bray youagainst Romar in a pinch hit situation.
Romero's having a great year, He'sone of the top relievers in the game.

(52:20):
And you take a guy that's gotone of the absolute worst batting years
of his entire career in the MLBthis year, and he goes out there
and didn't surprise at all and isdown on three pitches, goes down on
a goofy looking swing. And theonly I hate to say it, guys,
but the only sense that I couldcome up with it is I feel

(52:43):
like and I can't say that Iblame a spot for it. If I'm
in a spot of shoes, I'mhandcuffed by them forcing my hand to have
a bray. You take a rosterSpot and if I'm going to be forced
to work with the guy that's quitefrankly deadweight on the roster, I'm gonna
I'm gonna do my part to tryand get that roster spot to open up.
It almost seemed like it was,Seriously, the only thing I can

(53:06):
come up with was it almost seemedlike my intent would have been, Okay,
I'm gonna make this. You know, I'm sorry, guy, but
I got to look out for mycareer too. I'm gonna put you in
a really rough spot, and Iknow what the outcome is gonna be,
and we're gonna speed this train upto get that roster spot opened up for
a guy that's gonna actually help theteam out. I'm just curious to see
if you, guys can make anysense out of what a spot I was

(53:29):
thinking when he put a brain newin that pinch hit spot with the game
on the line, you're down byrun, and you take the worst hitter,
one of the worst hitters in thegame, and put him up against
one of the best relievers in thegame, completely cold. I'm curious to
hear y'all's thoughts. Guys, appreciateRob, Thank thanks. I can only
think of first off, to cointhe good phrase that our guy Dana Brown
will say at times for us,that's a Joel spot a question, and

(53:53):
I and I agree. Rob tome, I can only think of one
reason one and I may be wayoff on This wouldn't be the first time,
hopefully the last won't be the lasteither. Is trying to put him
in a situation where you build hisconfidence that a hit there made. I'm

(54:14):
just I didn't say he was right. You asked me what he's thinking.
You can't be thinking you're playing analytics. No, you can't be thinking you're
playing odd single. You can't bethinking you're playing You can't Romero's lefty having
a really good year. Singleton's leftyprobably don't want to have to go left
lefty. Any righty on the boany righty on the bench gives you a
better chance to swing the back Krotinigives you a better chance. Yeah,

(54:36):
he get it from the right side. My point is, in any given
time, was he I've got tothink to myself, was he used up?
Was he playing Victor? Point is, you could have pinched it anybody
now to answer his question for me, the only he said, what do
you think he was thinking, isn'tthere only one thing? He can be

(54:59):
thinking? Hopefully a hit here turnsit around for him. And it was
due. It was an ugly aspbat. I mean he watched two pitches
go right down the middle and thenhe swings at a slider down in the
dirt. Good morning, get afternoon, good night? Okay? Soone else?
What else would what else would bethe reason I didn't say run single
tonight? What else would be thereason? I have no idea. That's

(55:21):
why aren't we all grasp I thinkwe are grasped for stross for sure.
So Rob's onto something I I don'tknow, and I'm not sure. Did
anybody ask Joe why? No?It probably probably would have been good to
find out. I would assume hedidn't use caroten because you don't want to
burn your You don't want to burnyour your catcher, your your second catcher

(55:43):
on the bench, just in casesomething happens to yan ear. And maybe
you were kind of thinking maybe weshould pinch hit for carotene later in the
game. You just never know ifyou're gonna pinch it. Yeah, later,
You're not just one of those Idon't leave stuff on the table especially
right if it's a Bregman or aA Yiner d As, I get it.
But if it's it's not like you'resaying A Bray's giving you something later
in the in the bat. Yeah, I don't know. You're not gonna

(56:07):
You're not gonna hit Great Kessinger rightthere? Why not? Because he hasn't
hit in like three weeks, whichagain we talked about this three weeks or
two months. Why is he stillon the Why why is he even on
the roster. He's not doing anything. You sent down Joey Loberfedo to keep
Greatkessinger, and Greatkessinger has it sniffedthe field literally in like three and a
half four weeks. So doesn't itfeel like it's a let's see if the

(56:27):
big fellow can boost his confidence atthat? What else can it be?
I mean why, I don't knowthe answer. That's yeah, that's uh,
that's Those are the things that whena manager makes those decisions. I
don't know. Did you look ata card and say, in the past,
a Brave's had success at some pointin time, and probably in that's
the lefty. In that situation,you would probably want Dubond to pitch it,

(56:47):
but he had to come in becauseKyle Tucker got hurt exactly right,
so you didn't have Dubon available.So it was either Carotena or a great
Kessinger or let John Singleton go leftyon lefty. And you're thinking to yourself
if you're an analytics team, leftyrighty, regardless of how Bray has been
this year, like you said,maybe runs into one. Yeah, and
it was not a good at bat. No, it was not a good
at beat seven one, three,two, five, seven ninety. Let's

(57:10):
keep it going on the phone lines. Get to Jacob and then we'll get
to Shena. Jacob. Good morning, Jacob, you guys, Jacob give
us hey Jacob good Uh, tripley. I put him on whole tell him
and his connection is really bad.Let's talk to Shena Sheena, good morning,

(57:30):
Hi, good morning. So yeah, that was a great game last
night. Hoping you'll be a springboardfor the Astros to do some you know,
Diez getting his bat back, youknow a lot of good things happening.
You know, I kind of agreementwith uh with y'all about the last
caller on as botus choice for ourBray. You maybe it was just to

(57:50):
get his confidence. I think,Doobie you you would have liked to use
dub, but he was already inSingleton. I think is in like an
O for thirteen right now, Andyou know it's so it's a brave or
a Gray Kessinger because you don't wantto burn your catcher. But my bigger
issue with the with the Spata lastnight, and this is probably the first
time I've really been like just pissedoff at something he's done, was with

(58:12):
Tucker, and I just feel likehis last lack of managing the situation.
He's holding Tucker's helmet after Tucker gothit. Tucker's arguing to stay in the
game, but hasn't even put weighton that foot. It's like, to
me, tell him, stand onyour foot, jog to first base.
Show me that you can do this, I mean, protect your players the

(58:34):
Spata. Don't give him back hishelmet until he can actually show you he
can function. So that just really, I mean, I was very upset
about that. And I also,you know, I didn't agree with his
decisions with Verlander putting him back infor the fifth. He even kept him
in after the home run and offof Gorman in the fifth. I feel

(58:55):
like he was letting Berlander manage thatsituation. So he's letting the team and
the players manage instead of him kindof managing the situation and taking control and
protecting his team and protecting his players. How want to see what y'all thought
about that? Well, Sheena,I don't disagree with you at all.
My biggest thing going into the season, and it fit felt like those decisions

(59:17):
were based on I'm going to givethe player the benefit of doubt. I'm
going to ride with them because Idon't want to. It just feels like
that felt like the Buddy situation lastnight. Right listen. I do understand
a little bit with the Verlander thing. Why he said this guy's done this
a million times five hundred plus starts. It's Verlander. I don't think he'd

(59:39):
have done it with fromber No.That's why that's why that happened, is
because it's justin Verba and I thinkSeenifer so for him specific I get it.
And then I understand your your yourplight with going on with the Kyle
Tucker situation. I think you've justat least now you've got to get used
to the fact that if it's winnedout, Joe was going to air on

(01:00:00):
the side of making sure his player'shappy. And I understand the protection of
your player physically and the emotional andmental side of it. With Verlander,
I kind of get it because it'sjustin Verlander. And how many times have
we seen him, even though thepitch you know, pitch count was rising,
how many times have we seen himpitch his way through trouble. If
there's anybody on it that can grindthrough it, it's him. But I

(01:00:22):
understand you're the frustration, Sheena,And I think that's why Verlander. It's
just a KG veteran that probably letJoe know that he can still do this
thing. And on the other side, that's just one of those your The
truth is it was probably like Ben, I don't want Kyle Tucker to leave
the game, you know what Imean, It's one of you want your
best players out there. So Iguess if I'm trying to scramble around and

(01:00:43):
find an answer for you, Sheena, But I think that Joe's going to
have to spend a lot of timeguarding against being buddy as opposed to being
a manager first, buddy second,and I think that's probably hard to do
when you've been an assistant for abench coach and assistant for a long time
to be able to take that nextstep from boom to from coach to general
manager. Players look at you alittle different here. It's different, and

(01:01:06):
you can't. You're gonna have totell it's it's we first, as opposed
to me first when it comes tothe individual and the team, right,
it just is Josh Hater got tosave his ninth of the season, and
he was painting. You know alittle thing about painting. Who do I
need to go to? Sean?Well, probably, if you're smart,
you probably go to Curta Pro.Let's hear about Surtterpro. Hey, Sean,

(01:07:54):
my dad three times over? Youare don't say as far as you know,
okay, I didn't, I know, I know where that comes wrong.
I have no idea where that comesfrom. Let's talk to Steve.
Hey, Steve, good morning,Hey, good morning guys. Hey.
Uh, you know, I justwant to say something I've been I've been
an employee, and I've been aleader of men, and one of the

(01:08:16):
one of my protogas and and oneof my mentors kept telling me, do
not become friends with your employees becausenumber one, they will not respect you.
And then when you try to givethem criticism, then then they will
they will turn on you. AndI kind of see where a spotta has

(01:08:36):
has guy that started getting a littlebit have a little bit more spine.
I always wondered, uh, Andnow that Dusty's gone, he never seemed
to be buddy buddy with the players. He criticized them when they needed to
be criticized, and he applauded themwhen they need to be applauded. But

(01:08:56):
it just didn't seem like he wasone of those guys that hung out in
locker room and and and joked aroundwith the guys. Not that the spot
it does, but it just seemsthat he needs to have a little bit
more of I'm the manager, whatgoes and and and my word is the
only thing that matters right now.And because it just doesn't seem like there's

(01:09:20):
it just doesn't seem like there's arespect there. Steve, let me ask
you something. You talk about leadership, and like I said, leadership in
any business, whether it's baseball orany and it doesn't matter with what the
what the career is, right andfrom your experiences, can you can you?
I don't want to say fix itbecause everybody speaks so highly of him,
right and I get that, andit seems like they love the guy.

(01:09:43):
But how do you change if thereis that perception in your in your
circumstances or what you've seen from otherleaders. We all hang around people that
are great leaders. I'd like tostudy them all and see if I can
grab something and what not to do? Is it possible to change the perception
from everybody loved him because he wasalways an assistant to Now you got this
gig? Is it a joe aspot of responsibility the players to also put

(01:10:08):
that respect that it's a different positionand you got to respect it. Now
he's in a position of making thosedecisions. How do you change the perception
and how did you or how haveyou seen it changed in the workforce,
let alone a baseball field. Well, you know, every situation is different,
but I didn't. I didn't learnit until I actually was let go

(01:10:30):
because of my my numbers and myperformance. So when I went to the
other company and was promoted, thenit hit me and I was I wasn't
friends. Okay, this is abusiness I have. We are business partners.
That's it. So unfortunately it maytake Joe a spota to get fired
before he realizes that, you knowwhat, I can't be buddies with these

(01:10:53):
guys. My career depends on it. And it's it's it's tough. I
mean when you when you're around thesepeople well for you know, three four
years, and you become friends withthem, you know, it's kind of
hard to flip that switch and go, Okay, now I'm gonna be a
you know, a hard ass andyou do it my way and you know,
but still, these guys are professionalbaseball players and they've been around for

(01:11:14):
a long time. You would thinkthat that respect would kind of be built
in. But but like I said, even with even with Dusty Baker,
it just seemed like there was Healways kept the players on edge and I
doubt very seriously, when they walkedin they saw that lineup change that they
questioned it. Are there was anyany type of of you know why it

(01:11:35):
was okay, Dusty Baker changed thelineup. That's it. And I don't
think that that that same respect isbeing done with Joe Spot. I don't
know, but it just with theperception even in his even in his press
conferences, everything is hunky dor evenwhen they're losing. You know, you
know, well, he's he's trying, he's doing this. No, you

(01:11:56):
know what, he threw a badpitch. You can't throw that pitch in
that situation in the story, andhe won't do it again. We'll discuss
it with him. So it's justI just think it's a thing where he
just unfortunately he may have to goto another team before kind of like a
j. Hinch and all the otherplayers, other managers, they always seem
to do better when they go tothe next the next job because they've learned.

(01:12:17):
And you know, just my opinion, which means nothing, but I'll
hang up and listen. Thanks,guys. I know the opinion matters.
I think it's a valid point.On the hard part is being able to
decipher where the line is. Youdon't want to go to work and be
miserable. Hell, it's funny.I mean in any job here there,
it's at somebody else's job and saleswhatever it is. It doesn't the company,

(01:12:39):
but there is a line of here'sthis, here's the line, I'm
your friend. But it is aslippery slope, right I would. Can
you imagine going to work and beingin a position of influence where you're a
boss and not being able to befriends with people because you felt that everybody
was going to take advantage of it. And so that's a slippery slope in

(01:13:00):
sports and out of sports. Sportsis a little different because of your around.
You travel together. You don't travelfifteen days in a row with your
buddies normally fifteen people from work ortwenty five people from work, right,
So it's an interesting dynamic, andthat's why leadership is at such a premium
and so hard to find. Whetherthat's Joe or not, who knows.

(01:13:20):
But great leaders know how to doboth. And it's okay to have great
relationships. I mean some of thebest relationships I've ever built her work,
you know with people that you knowif you had a production assistant or what
have you, and then they turneddown and they started working there for ten
years and you developed a friendship.But still to be able to say,

(01:13:41):
Okay, here's what we're going todo, and if there's a bit of
you know, people having those differenceof opinion, to go right back to
it and respect that Opinion's okay,everybody opinion matters, But you got to
know how to sift through the crapto get to the good stuff. Yeah,
let's get to break. Continue totalk about these astros. Next on
sports Stock seven ninety. This isthe Sean Salisbury Show. That's beautiful.

(01:14:06):
We gotta talk about the city ofHouston, and we're gonna do it at
eight thirty this morning. New reportcoming out Houston. We gotta do better.
That's coming up at eight thirty.What's that We're gonna discuss something at
a thirty Houston, we gotta dobe We gotta do better. Yeah,
you do you like the report?Talk? Sure? Don't? Does it

(01:14:27):

talking about? Is it? Isit? You're gonna get some feedback,
correct, We're looking for feedback.You're don't shoot the Messenger, the mester,
exactly, you go, exactly.Yeah, this new report came out.
I read it this morning, andwe gotta we gotta figure it out.
Houstonians gotta figure it out. UmAstros Cardinals tonight. Man, I'll

(01:14:55):
tell you what that Caitlyn Clark stuffSean really really took off yesterday after we
got off air. Yeah, Ilisten. If it was, I have
no problem, none with a hardfoul with letting a rookie earner. Chops,

(01:15:15):
I don't. I have zero,matter of fact, I live by
it. Yeah, I'm all forit. That doesn't mean abusive and all
that. But I mean, it'sokay to get knocked around a little bit.
It's okay to have to go throughit. It's okay with people have
an opinion saying, well, she'sgonna look like what was it Tarassie that
said when she comes this league's gonnabe att different. Okay, that's just
an uh, that's a Hall ofFame one of the greatest women's basketball players

(01:15:40):
of all the time saying it's gonnabe a little different, won't be as
easy, And you know what,it hasn't been and it won't be I'd
have any issue with that. Myissue is this isn't that, This isn't
just punishing a rookie. This isflat out jealousy and envy that a woman
brought it to your Here here's whatI tweeted this morning about it, Brian,
just real quick, just to kindof put into where my perspective,

(01:16:05):
my perspective of it. I justsaid, so, you want attention brought
to your sport, more attention broughtsport. A great talent shows up,
enhancing the sport, more fans,more advertising, more ratings, more TV
time, bigger audience, has moreeyes to see all the other great players
in the sport, and there's alot of them. And the jealousy is
so palpable that you can see itwith a blindfold on. You would rather

(01:16:25):
cut off your nose despite your faceand embrace the incredible impact that Caitlin Clark
brings to your sport. You can'tmake this blank up brilliant And to me,
I have no problem. You don'thave to embrace her to the point
where you hang out with her allthe time and have to validate that she's
the best player in the league.She's not the best player in the league,
but what she's done is what weall bet, what they've been begging

(01:16:46):
for forever. More eyes on theirsport, more money to the sport,
more ratings for the sport, moreattention for the other great players in the
league. Because, whether you likeit or not, was growing, Caitlin
Clark warp speeded it to a wholenew level. And I don't know why
that's a problem. If you wantto give her a hard foul, fine,

(01:17:08):
but these aren't just hard fouls forthe rookie. When people say,
oh, it's just being a rookie, No, these are hard fouls,
the envy jealousy foul because it's likeit's like, well, you know,
she's not the only player in theleague. I don't think she's asked to
be the only player in league.It's the media and fans we're all pining
for. Embrace this. It doesn'tmean you have to kiss her ass and
let her go to the rim withthat foul in her I don't mean that.

(01:17:30):
So listen, and anybody that can'tsee the jealousy and the envy through
this is just has got blindfold onand is lying to themselves. Whatever the
reason they're doing it. To me, it feels like a jealousy of somebody
getting attention that really hasn't urinated adrop in the league, right But she's
brought attention to it and was agreat college player. She's got a lot
to do to be the best playerin WNBA. There's a lot of players

(01:17:54):
better than her right now, butnobody, good or bad, for whatever
reason, has brought the attention thatyou've been craving. And so you speak
out of one side of your mouthand say this is great, and then
or we need ratings and attention andmore money and equal pay and all that,
and then you turn right around andcut off your nose to spite your
face because you don't like the veryperson that's bringing the attention to it.

(01:18:15):
I don't care if anybody likes it, but you ought to respect. You
want the money, you want theattention. She's got it. Now you
go seize it, Go play great, have everybody start talking about you where
you're doing commercials and doing all thaton a regular basis. She has brought
what she's done. It's like whenI see a quarterback. Somebody comes to
your college, your high school atspring football. They're there to recruit the

(01:18:36):
left tackle who's three hundred pounds Andall of a sudden, and I've had
this happen. The quarterback or receivershows up and that guy who's there to
recruit the left taxes by the way, who's that guy? Yeah, I've
had it happen. A quarterback thatwas there. They were there to see
that I had. The receiver keptshowing up, and I had an offensive
coordinator powerfy school, say Sean,who's the wide receiver that I'm seeing on

(01:18:57):
tape? And he went on andgot recruited by Division one score to him.
Was a hell of a high schoolplayer and was one of the most
sought after a receivers round. Hewasn't a guy trained, but my quarterback
worked with him. Point is isthat the eyes were on one brought attention
to the other. The eyes areon Caitlin Clark's bringing attention to all these
other great players. I don't mindyou not liking it, but does it

(01:19:18):
have to be that palpable the jealousyand the envy that the literal hate for
her heart. Fouls don't bother me, cheap shots do. And it's so
if you can't see this that thejealousy is so thick, then you know
what, then basically you're lying toyourself. And when the Lebron's of the

(01:19:40):
world, who's been a great playerand champion the w NBA's cause for a
long time is like in the CharlesBarkleys, it's like, come on,
man, you know that they're pissedbecause that the jealousy that the sport was
good players before she got there.The problem is there's just certain people who
bring more attention for whatever reason.And when people say, well, she
just got a deal with it,apparently she looks like she's dealing a Biscuits

(01:20:01):
heady yesterday. She's showing up anddeal with it. I don't see her
doing all the complaining. We're doingit for and it's obvious why they're doing
it, because the jealousy and envythat she's bringing to the table and making
money. But everybody else is nowgetting seen, which is a good thing.
A lot of great players in theleague. Man, I just never
got the hate for your own Pat. Your own player, Pat McAfee had
some interesting things to say in regardsto Caitlin Clark and the WNBA drama.

(01:20:29):
What did he say That's next?On Sports Stock seven to eighty talking about
doctor Jeff Witz, that who's donethousands, literally tens of thousands of these
procedures with his eye care and LASIKprocedure. You damn right he may.
He can make any of us seebetter, whether it's for safety purposes for
you, whether it's for you know, you just want to be tired of

(01:20:49):
squinton, You're tired of going toa ball game and not being able to
see from centerfield what the pitch was, whatever it is. Let him get
to work with you, go onand see you get a free consultation like
I did. I move to thistown a decade ago, and a couple
of years into my move here,I was asked, okay, who's the
best, and it kept coming backdoctor Jeff wits it. So I went
in visited him, walked me through, walk me through the history of LASIK

(01:21:13):
too in a good way. SoI understood the new equipment, how talented
it is, and he treated myeyes like he would his owners on family.
And in about within a week,under a week, I was seeing
better than I'd seen in three decades. And I was on the table for
less than ten minutes and it wasnot invasive. A lot of people want
to know is it invasive? Sowhen you're investing in your eyes with the

(01:21:34):
payment plan or whatever it is,don't look for somebody who does a fifty
dollars eye care because you're looking ata stampion move you on like an assembly
line. You don't want that.You want the best who treats them right.
You only got two of them.You might want to treat them right,
and doctor Whitst will do that.It's Witst Vision dot Com seven one

(01:22:25):
Sean Salisbury to usc true longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Ryan Lima, go
Lobos. This is the Sean SalisburyShow. Before we talk about Pat McAfee
and his interesting choice of words inregards to Caitlyn Clark yesterday, let's get

(01:22:45):
back out to the phone lines andtalk to Al what's going on? Al
Hey, what's going on? Greatshow? Go ask ros uh uh Sean,
let me ask you a question,because I'm trying to see this Cave
Clark thing and everybody's talking about it. And so have they ever been a
player such as Kaitlin Clark and Cottagethey ended up coming to the Professional Basket

(01:23:13):
w NBA, like Caitlin Clark dominatedin Cottage and then get to the w
NBA and become not that elevated ofa player or mediocre player. I can
think of Cheryff Swoop, where CherylSwoop came in the NBA, the first
woman to have a Nike and shoedeal in the WNBA and ended up being
in the to Go talk her firstyear two years she dominated. So with

(01:23:39):
Kaylan Clark going through the struggles,going to learning, prayer or whatever,
is that basically all on the mediafor elevating from Cottage play? Trying to
translate it automatically would be that playerin the w NBA or should they have
gave the little breaks pumping the hikeor was it good to give her all

(01:24:00):
the height considering her play? Ijust think the people should have been a
little patient, like I'm not Idon't know why she's ow. She's averaging
sixteen points a game, almost sevenassists a game, she's shooting thirty percent
from three point line, and she'saveraging ninety percent from the free throw line.
She's not struggling. It's the otherstuff that's coming along the way.

(01:24:23):
And she's not the best player inthe league right now. But listen,
why I played. I was inschool. She's a classmate of mine and
a friend Cheryl Miller. She's thebest women's basketball player ever saw, and
she came in and dominated. SoI'm sure there's been nobody has ever got
the pub the Caitlin Clarkscott. Now, I'm sure there's been players that were
good college players in all sports whenwe've seen it, that have come through

(01:24:45):
and all of a sudden, we'revery good pros. That's That's not the
point of this. The point isthis isn't just, hey, let's foul
her because she's a rookie. Thisisn't just the point of she didn't deserve
the pub. I got news foryou. She did deserve the pub coming
out of school. And regardless ifshe didn't deserve it, and others have
deserved it too, Sue Byrd,Diana Tarassi. But the way when Cheryl

(01:25:06):
Miller came out, there wasn't socialmedia. She didn't Cynthia Cooper. They
have social media, so it changeslike everything else in the world. There.
Listen, we got guys yelling andscreaming at each other on TV and
they make ten million bucks a yearwhen and we no longer have to report
facts a lot of times we justreport what your opinion is fact now the
way on TV, so things change. My point about this Caitlin Clark thing

(01:25:29):
is is I don't have it apro elbower in the ribcave. That that
comes along with people sending a message. It happens every day in sports and
always has. My point is,whether we wanted to give her the pub
or not, it happened. She'dlook look what she did for ratings and
yes and and now. But it'sbringing attention to a sport. Now go
in there and dominat her. She'sbrought you the attention. Now go prove

(01:25:50):
that you're a better player than her. That's fine. My thing is,
why wouldn't you embrace it? Why? And do we all we we're too
fast with everything on pub He've alreadycrowned CJ. Stroud a top three quarterback
in the league, and he's donea one year and he may very well
be the best quarterback in the leaguein two years. I get it.
Point is we don't have patience tolet somebody grow into it. But the

(01:26:11):
pub she's brought to it, thepub she's brought to it is enormous.
I don't know why they're mad atthat when they've been begging for this pub
forever other WNBA players, Why isit. You don't have to call her
the best player, but I cantell you what she's made the biggest impact
when you come from college to asfar as attention to the sport. Whether
she deserves it or not, she'sgot it and I get that, That's

(01:26:35):
what I'm But when Brian made thepoint while to go to her average and
all that, I'm not knocking theplayer herself. I'm talking about specifically between
the Lions. I think when Brianmentioned what she's averaging, I'm not knocking
her struggle or her plate, butI'm saying so much of the meeting around

(01:26:56):
her has elevated her to be averagingthirty. Yeah, so make her right.
So you're so you're saying, likethe media is hyping her up to
be the best player in the wNBA right now. Yeah, I think
I think they need to they needto pump the brakes on that. It's
like what Sean just said about cJ. Stroud. We've already labeled him
as the number three quarterback in theleague. He's only done it one year.

(01:27:18):
And that's my point with it.And I'm old school. Well I'm
sorry, I'm old school because I'veseen this movie all the time. Sometimes
you have these are these of youngpeople in the professional level. Okay,
give them a break. Like it'sso much with social media. You didn't
turn to around the curve and puther straight to the finish already. It's

(01:27:38):
a grind process, anybody. Ijust think that they're pushing the envelope.
Were too quick with all this,Yeah, we're too quick with all this.
With we we crowned that, wecrown a rookie the best rookie ever
in the I mean we do itall the time. I mean sports all
the nationwide. We do because welove the banter and it's hype and it
brings clicks and all that. Wesee it all the time. Nashally just
remove her game. Let's say shewas just an average player in college,

(01:28:01):
but they just loved her personality andshe brought this attention. Forget how good
she was then, and forget howthat she's a rookie and has her struggles,
her ups and downs. I'm justsimply talking about the attention she's brought
to the game. Why wouldn't youembrace it? And if you don't think
she's the best player, and she'snot right now, and she was the
best player in college, she's notthe best player in the WNBA, But

(01:28:27):
why wouldn't you, brak Now,go prove that she's not the way.
If you don't like her game,then go play and be physical. But
I'm talking about you, damn wellknow. Why wouldn't you embrace the attention
to the sport, the very thingthat you've begged for, because no,
no offense. Five years ago peoplewere going there was nobody getting the endorsements
they're getting now and just feed offit. I just don't know why the
jealousy of the attention. Forget hergame, the attention she's brought to the

(01:28:50):
sport is enormous. Why aren't weembracing it? What's the problem. We
are her own. It's the it'sthe players in the league that are playing
against and with her that have anembraced I don't not all of them,
but a lot of them are likeresistant to this. Well, I'm a
better player than great. But it'sthe attention. Now you can go get

(01:29:13):
more endorsements because more eyes are onyou. I don't understand the jealousy.
I never have. I don't knowwhy you can't root for somebody's it's league
wide success. Everybody's gonna win fromthis in that league, and it makes
no sense to me. So mything is tell them to quit talking out
of both thighs of their damn mouth. If you don't want her there,
then go be a better player forand her star will disappear in three years.

(01:29:33):
If she sucks, it'll no longermatter anymore. But what she's done
is people you've never damn well heardof in the WNBA you know now in
a short period of time because ofthe attention forget her game. It's the
attention, and I think it's sickand stupid that they don't embrace it when
they all want to get paid more. I don't get it. Jealousy sucks,

(01:29:53):
and I think MV sucks. AndI don't know why people root for
other people to fail as opposed tosucceed, especially when she's lining up next
to you in an All star game. Makes no sense to me. I
don't get it. You gotta youdisagree with that. If I, if
I, if let's say your jellet's say your job, then nobody knew

(01:30:14):
your company, and somebody came inand all of a sudden was great with
it and brought attention to your company, and everybody who was gonna get paid
more now because now they saw thefruits of your labor at work, you're
gonna you're gonna come at it withjealousy or envy or be grateful that man,
I got a twenty percent pay raisebecause now eyes are on me,
they're seeing my work. What wouldyou do? Yes, they got an
old saying John can't beat them,joining them well, and guess what that's

(01:30:38):
old school, and guess what theWNBA needs to do? Join in and
and and enjoy this incredible run,because if Caitlin Clark goes away tomorrow,
you're gonna get less ratings, whethershe's the best player or not. You
just are. So she's brought attentionto it, which is good for everybody.
I've never understood the hate for that. Yeah, but it's it's definitely

(01:30:58):
generational because of whether game was andtotality of the w NBA. Really,
the facts of the matter is ithas elevated twenty twenty four since Caitlin Clark
actually came in the league. Howeveryou want to shape it, the facts
is there, the media, thecoverage, the charters, all that jersey
sales, all of it. Yes, and just just being real, keeping

(01:31:21):
this bucket buckshun. It may suckto certain players that thought they deserve whether
the hype or whatever. That's whatyou call sports. Welcome to the game.
Some get shunned, some don't.That's the game of sports. It
always have been, always will be. It's just that's part of the game.

(01:31:42):
I mean, that's just how thisgame is. And so what happens
is you can't let it be personal. Yeah I'm not I don't care.
I'm not in the WNBA. Butthey go ahead and cut off their nose
despite their face. If they don'twant the money or the attention, that's
on them, not me. Idon't care. Yeah, because to brings
truckses back up to damn right.It is appreciate dam right. Hey,

(01:32:05):
we call you if you want tocall back out about your astros take let
us know. We'll get it tomorrow. Whatever, and good point by you.
Man. I always appreciate you.Appreciate it out. Let's get a
break. We'll continue to talk aboutthis Kaitlin Clark, Angel Rees WNBA discussion
and what Pat McAfee had to sayabout it. That's next on Sports Talk
seven ninety. But first, BrotherlyLove Electric in their home generator, the
Briggs in Stratton. It's American madeBriggs and Stratton home generator from Brotherly Love

(01:32:29):
Electric. Storm season is here.You know how it's been going. Those
big time storms roll through the city, knockout power so quick. It's crazy
how many people lose power when thosethings come through. Just a couple of
weeks ago, over two million peoplewithout power, and then the week after
that it was up around a millionpeople without power. You don't have to
worry about that when these storms rollthrough. If you have a home generator

(01:32:50):
from Brotherly Love Electric, Brotherloveelectric dotCom, call this number right now three
four six seven seven seven three threeseven zero they've got a warehouse, it's
fully stocked, and they have theshortest lead times in the city right now.
Other generator providers have up to afive to six month lead time.

(01:33:10):
That's not how it goes with BrotherlyLove Electric again the number one more time
three four six seven seven seven threeto three seven zero. Brother Love Electric
is a Briggs and Stratton diamond dealeroffering the largest air cold unit on the
market, including ten year warranty modelsand like I said, the warehouse is
fully stocked. They also offer twentyfour to seven monitoring of your generator system,

(01:33:30):
so if there is ever a problem, they're gonna know about it before
you do. They've been in thiscity servicing Houston for over ten years.
They offer services and generators, residentialtroubleshooting and repair, as well as commercial
and industrial electric and of course thoseAmerican made Briggs and Shraddon home generators.
Brother Love Electric, It's a connectionyou can count on. Sean Salisbury,
Brian Loma. This is the SeanSalisbury show I did on Sports Talk seven

(01:33:57):
ninety. Yeah, that's him,Go Jill, Big Jewy Gill and Holy
Way to Hockey. But I'm notthere yet. What's up? So this
Caitlin girl kind of I don't watchwomen's sports, but anyway reminds me probably,

(01:34:20):
but it kind of reminds me aboutthirty years ago a particular the golfer
named Tiger Woods showed up and therewere kind of a lot of jealousy going
on. You know, they werevery very not pissed, but a few
people made comments about them jealous.When when the dust settled, they were
like, thanks for showing up becauseeverything changed when he sort of their money

(01:34:45):
advertising, all everything went up.So maybe this girl, maybe it won't
happen, but if, if whenthe dust settled, maybe it'll be the
same situation with her. You knowwhat, Gil and One, we're talking
about Tiger Woods. Now his impactis far more global. But but you
know what, we say that ofcourse, but the truth of the matter
is, think what Caitlin Clark's donefor young girl's excitement on WNBA and the

(01:35:06):
whole league wins. Forget her game, whether she's good or not, just
focus on the marketing, the eyes, the attention, the value she's brought
to all the other players to bethat are good that we haven't seen enough
of. The whole league wins becauseof her presence. Forget her game,
and if her game's great, thenyou know what, go defend her and

(01:35:27):
do what you're doing now, makehard fouls all that. But about Tiger
Woods, though, real quick isthink about when there was yellow season envy.
You know what he did? HeNow we got a time when the
purse, the fourth, the fifth, the fifth place guy is making more
money than the winner did fifteen yearsago. Yeah, you're absolutely right.
So let me ask you a questionson when you had your days off of

(01:35:50):
football, were you all kicking asson the golf course? Gets I wasn't
good enough to kill. I mean, I've you know, played, That
was when I when I was playingthen the lowest I've ever gotten was was
like an eight handicap seven, justa little over seven handicap. But that
when I played. No, I'venever been something. No. I love

(01:36:15):
you, man, Yes, atleast at least at least unlike you,
at least unlike you, at leastunlike you. I can put my ball
on a tee and actually tee itup. But that being said, no,
I've never been. I mean I'vebeen able to. I've been able
to. I played, but Ididn't. There's I've never been on a
team where there wasn't guys far betterthan me. I love the game.

(01:36:36):
I wish the game loved me asmuch as I love I would like Stallone
said, I wish our sport lovedme as much as I love it.
Yeah, no, I played.I didn't play because I had young kid
kids in my past. Oh,when I first started, when I first
started, when I first started,I've snapped the club over my neck before.
I ain't no doubt about that.Now it's it's a lot. It's

(01:36:56):
a lot. It's a lot cheaperto throw a golf ball in the lake
than it is to snap a club. So no, I'm out of those.
I'm out of that mode, brother, No more of that. But
I love to play. I justwish I was a single digit. I
wish I was a scratch golfer soI could compete all the time. But
you know, I'm all hit goodshots. I'll hit bad shots and play
a whole lot in between. Sothere you go. Appreciate the call,
Gil, and drink some beer.Drank beer, that's right, thanks,

(01:37:19):
Gil. Yeah, wouldn't it befun to be that good? You know
those guys who tee it up andbut I'm know that was when I was
at my I'm trying to get backto being that kind of player again.
You know where you can at leastwhere you're showing up. But I can
shoot eighty one day and then ninetysix the next. Yeah, I think
most of us amateurs fit all thatyear, no doub Let's grab Lewis real
quick, Lewis, thanks for holding. What's going on? Hey, guys,

(01:37:41):
what's going on? It's good totalk to the mount rushmore of sports
talk. Anyway, two quick questions. I'm the Caitlin Clark thing. All
I'm gonna say about this is Seanand the other And you guys, when
was the last time you took morethan one call about the w NBA in
a year. When's the last timewe spend more than three minutes on it?

(01:38:04):
Yeah, okay, you're exactly right, and there you go, perfect
point, perfect point. Well,that's right. And you know, these
these bitter divas, and that's whatthey are is you know, don't bite
the hand that feeds you. She'sbringing you attendance, she's bringing you chartered
flights, YadA yady. As soonas the newness wears away, they can

(01:38:27):
get used to playing in front ofones of hundreds of people again, and
I just think, you know,it's like when Jordan came into the league,
when Dream came into the league.I get it, the new kid
on the block. You had torough them up a little bit. But
I think they're going out of theirway. And just to me, just
the fact that I'm actually making acall about this shows you how much attention

(01:38:54):
she has brought to the league.And I think it's it's a good thing.
So and second question, Sean,I was born and raised in Miami,
so a lifelong Dolphin fan. Unfortunately, question I know two is probably
gonna get the bag, and youknow whether he deserves it or not.

(01:39:16):
But in your opinion, don't youthink it in this league is that if
you don't pay a guy, someoneis gonna gonna pay him. And sometimes
you just gotta overpay to hold onto what you got with that consistency,
because if they let him go,you're back at square one again, no

(01:39:39):
doubt. You know, you mightas well go get John Stofa and let
him quarterback for a couple of here. Thank Lewis, great stuff, and
thanks for the comment. I'll answerthat real quick One is he is gonna
get paid. Two is he fitswhat Mike with what the their head coach,
Mike wants to do. And Icould say another Mike McDaniels. And
he also he's accurate. He's notthe most gifted thrower, meaning powerful arm.

(01:40:02):
But you're right, that's a positionwe all you do overpay because you
got to say, well, ifwe lose him, what are we going
to replace him with? And fortwo years, three quarters of the season,
he's been in the MVP talk.He's a good player. There's another
elevation to his game. They gotgreat team speed. They got to get
more physical. But yes, you'vegot to pay, and they will pay
him. And two is a reallygood player with something to prove. And

(01:40:24):
I love the kid. He's justhe's never gonna wow you with overpowering arm
stuff, but he is gonna wowyou with some accuracy. And if he
throws on time, he's deadly withthe football. And they've got great team
speed. They just got to getmore physical offensively and defensively so they don't
get pushed around. But they'll scorewith anybody. And yes, you're gonna
have to overpay him. And whetherhe deserves it or not, it's just

(01:40:45):
the right time, right place.A lot of guys get overpaid at that
position, but then you got togo earn it, and we know that
it's well when you're paying somebody fiftymillion a year that's at the position.
But I'm rooting for the guy becauseI think he's a really good player.
He's not in the elite class ofthe top six, but he's in the
top dozen or so right now.The way he's planning, you ready for
this new report, Yeah, let'shear it. The new report reveals that
Houston is the number one city forwhat. Oh, buddy, that's next.

(01:41:14):
Oh, I'll tell you what's notnext. But what's now Men's tea
clinic. You can be well numberone in the house. If you'll go
to Men's ta clinic and draw alittle blood, get tested for low testosterone.
You'll get the answers by the timethe day is up, maybe by
time you leave the building. Sothen we can start to normalize it.
Fellas, I don't know why you'dwant to go through twenty twenty four if
you suffered through twenty twenty three withbrain fog and lack of energy and wondering

(01:41:36):
how in the hell am I goingto get myself back to where I wanted?
Where Mama's happy at home. I'mhappy at home, I'm not irritable.
Things are rolling good. I gotmy energy back and I can go
dominate twenty twenty four. If youstill haven't done that, what are you
waiting on? Five convenient locations,great wellness optimization staff, lot of different
products for you. And if it'sjust sexual wellness you want, it's there.

(01:41:58):
But the great thing about Men's Clinic, it's full body wellness, head
to toe. There's something for everythingyou need. Isn't that a good thing?
Isn't that a good thing? Ordo you want to just kind of
wallow through and kind of trudging throughtwenty twenty four when it could be something
as simple as low testosterone, Popon in and do it. Let's normalize
it. Get out of lower gearand get back to what you deserve,

(01:42:18):
that's being you and having the energyto go out and dominate twenty twenty four.
It's one eight hundred, one eighthundred, Go Men's Tea or Men's
ta clinic dot com, Get outa lower gear, get back to what
you rightfully deserve. Normalizing that testosteronefull Body Wellness Men's Teaclinic dot Com.

(01:42:39):
The Sean Salisbury Show continued, newreport coming out. Are we gonna like
this? Is it like new restaurantsbest restaurant city best? Uh? Nope.
No traffic, nope, sure thereis no construction. New report reveals
that Houston is the number one dirtiestcity in America. The cap no cap

(01:43:02):
no cap who wrote this? Uh? This is according to a recent report
from the nonprofit media organization known asGrist, the city of Houston is the
dirtiest city in the entire country.Grist researchers looked at more than one hundred
and fifty of the biggest cities inthe US, focusing on pollution, living

(01:43:23):
condiction, living conditions, infrastructure,and resident status faction. Well, I
don't know much about resident satisfaction.And what was the other one? Infrastructure,
infrastructure, living conditions, and pollutionsand pollution the pollutions. I can
tell you this the infrastructure. I'mwith them on that. This article studied,

(01:43:45):
analyze, studied, analyzed data fromvarious federal agencies, including the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, theCensus Bureau, the Department of Energy,
and the Environmental Protection Agency known asthe EPA. So, Houston made its
way to the number one spot ofdirtiest cities due to high levels of pollution,
a significant cockroach problem, and greenhousegas emissions from large industrial plants.

(01:44:12):
Bruh, you mean to tell methat Houston is dirtier than like New York
City. You've seen the rats,size of the rats of the subway,
so you see what the homeless doin the subways in in New York City.
There's some roaches here too, though, Now I'm kidding. Have you
been Have you been in Newark,Jersey? Have I new Newark is disgusting?

(01:44:38):
Do you look at Do I looklike I worked for the I didn't
write the article Carl said was theinfrastructure, And you can't argue with that.
Sand Bernardino is number three, notjust sand Burdeu as as our guy
Chevy Chase calls it in his moviesand Burdu San Bernardino. I get that
too, being that's about now we'replus from my home in San Diego.

(01:45:01):
Yeah. New Orleans is not evenon this list, or at least in
the top ten. Well, well, Detroit is number four. Yeah,
Jersey City, New Jersey is numberfive. Bakersfield, California, San Antonio
even catching a stray on here one, two, three, four, five,
six, seventh on the list.I don't know about all the like,

(01:45:24):
you know, consumer satisfaction, allthat stuff. Infrastructure is a little
a little tough, you're, yeah, just just difficult a little bit.
But the rest of it, Idon't know where they get their information,
but apparently they did a deep dive. I would imagine that's going to set
some people here on their ear andbug them, and I get it.

(01:45:44):
But there are cities I've been tothat apeer dirtier. LA's on this list
a peer dirtier and well right now, the way that the way that they
San Francisco can't be the cleanest cityright now, the way they've allowed people
to come over there and people areyou know, drop trow on the street,
okay and making human human beings,and it's crazy. But they're going
deeper than just a piece of trashon the street. Obviously, they're going

(01:46:09):
meaning, you know, you droptrash and a fast food, which drives
me crazy. I hate when Isee that. But this is a deeper
dive. I listen, whoever didthis study, it's gonna get clicks and
people to be irritated, no doubt. Fresno, California, Oklahoma. Oh
damn, damn, Tripoli, OklahomaCity on this list, and I eased

(01:46:54):
Didn't they didn't they a couple ofyears ago play that Houston was one
or two with the obesity as well. Oh yeah, it was the fattest
city in like the the country fora while. Man, what's people hating
on Houston? H Town? Takeover? Dog bro Man. I like this
place. I like it. Igot you down now, and now do

(01:47:17):
the other half name all the goodstuff. Find me a city that doesn't
have something you can find negative aboutit. Let's see, because for me,
the one thing about this but it'sbut you can get this and easy
drive into Chicago Atlanta and the trafficit's it's maddening. Traffic drives me nuts.
I don't know about you, butto me, that's it. That's
it in the you know, thelittle infrastructure and a lot of construction to

(01:47:39):
drive you crazy. But that goeson in, you know, trying to
make it better for you once inconstruction and widening freeways and widening roads.
But I like this town. Goodfood, good people, the people.
Now, yeah do the people.We got good people here, A lot
of good lot of big companies thatemploy a lot of people. But that
has nothing to do I guess withthe dirty part where they judge with the
dirtiest part of it is. Butyou don't have to buy into the article.

(01:48:03):
It's one person or one you knowpaper, one organization writing it.
Now have four hundred of them writearticles and they all get the same result.
And I want to take a littlenotice. Do you know what the
number one most overweight city in Americais? Right now? San Antonio.
They're on the list. McAllen Edinburgh, Mission Texas. Down there in the

(01:48:30):
valley or down there in the valleyborder right at the border. Yeah,
well, south of South Padre mthat's number one right now, mam with
it with a pH. No,you think it's with an F. No,
No, this is yeah. Thisis overweight and obe cities in the
US. This is straight up fat. I've tried to add a little light

(01:48:51):
to the border down in the valleywith pH. San Antonio is like number
fifteen on the list, Houston droppingdown to forty nine. So well done,
Houstonians. We've had a lot ofgyms, a lot of a lot
of places to get to work outin. Get over there to Memorial and
get a good walk in. Backto the dirtiest city, yeah, Houston,

(01:49:15):
and then Jackson, Mississippi number twowhen it comes to most overweight cities
in the US, Shreveport, Louisiananumber three. Damn, Shreveport's tough man.
Shreveport is listed is one of thedirtiest cities in America and one of
the most overweight cities in America.They got a couple of casinos up there,
though, yes they do. Theysure do. Man horseshoes and ice
establishment. But back to the lastcouple of one hundred bucks there, Jack,

(01:49:39):

I come back to you. Sureit's out with the pH. Read the
article. This is this is thetop fifty of most overweight cities in the
US. This is not pH thisis fat. These with an so there's
no would it be a classic?And in the headline they said, and

(01:52:32):
New Jersey, number five. Let'sgo to Trey Trey. Good morning,
Good morning. Hey. A minuteago we were talking about the w NBA.
That lady of Kaylen Clark, KaylnClark. Yes, well we're going
through the same crap she's going Houston. Well, the state of Texas has

(01:52:54):
the economy for the state of Texasseven hundred and sixty six billion dollars.
The state of California is one pointis having trillion dollars. Mexico's economy is
three trillion dollars, and ninety ninepercent of that three twillion dollars comes into
the United States through what state?Texas? So just one country is bringing

(01:53:18):
in three trillion dollars, all thatchaotic you know, just coming reming down
through Texas and then to the restof the country. Mexico's the fifth largest
manufacturer of cars. And guess wherethose cars are sold in the United States
and where do they come through throughTexas? We do all this freaking volume.
The last three mayors, the lastthree mayors in this freaking city or

(01:53:41):
Democrats, and they're another crying thatwe are broke. That used the city
of Houston. It's broke. Weare the best clan city there in the
United States. Why the two largestsenateition companies, the two largest senateition companies
are based in Houston, Texas.Green Waste, West Management, West Management

(01:54:02):
and Republic. They got trucks allover the country, but they're based in
Houston. Texas, And it's notour fault that we're dirty. Is the
freaking politics. Other than that,the Super Bowl in Las Vegas generated seven
hundred million dollars for their economy.The Houston Rodeo last year generated six hundred

(01:54:30):
million dollars for scholarships. In twentytwenty six, we're getting the World Cup.
Houston gets eight games, Dallas getsnine games, Chicago gots zero.
Right for New York, New Jersey, right for New Jersey gets four or
five games, but they get thechampionship. I love Texas, love this.

(01:54:51):
All the others, all the othercities, all they're only they're get
only getting four or five games.We're talking about Miami, Atlanta Field,
if you have Kansas City, SanFrancisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
So, Trey, your point aboutall this is did we get the did
they get a bad name? They'regenerating all this, You get a bad

(01:55:12):
name. It's just haters. Becauseof that, they need to pay more
attention to the good stuff that's happening, is basically what you're saying. Correct,
Yes, sir, you're right.Amen, Amen, brother, thank
you, Trey, appreciate it.Trey had his ducks in a row sure
did. He can't prepared. Properpreparation prevents pisporl performance. I don't know
if you ever heard that or not. Stuck to John the six piece there
it is. What's up John?Hey, good morning guys. Hey,

(01:55:34):
I had to chime in on this. I mean, these people that made
that list, they obviously never visitedany of the West coast cities. I
mean, I know people that movedhere from Oregon where they couldn't even let
their kids play in the park asof all the needles. They can't go
barefoot in the park. And peopleare people. You can't even get a

(01:55:54):
U haul to get out of Californiaanymore. And New York is the same
way New York City. Uh,these people obviously never visit any of those
places. And uh, you knowthey didn't visit Minneapolis, m York City.
John the dumbass. I just don'tget it. The dumbasses in California
want to when you move the state, they want to charge you for leaving
their didn't put tax yeah don't.They want to make you pay mortgage on

(01:56:23):
a house you sold. These peopleare idiots California leadership. Sometimes I'm ashamed
of the people. Well I'm ashamedof the leadership at California. I love
the state because it's well, there'sbeaches. But yeah, John, you
got to you gotta be some kindof stupid to listen to some of the
stuff other people say about our city. Yeah, and I refuse to go
to Chicago. I was supposed togo to a convention this week, but

(01:56:45):
I thought, I'm not going.You know, I don't even want to
go into O'Hare. You know,you see, you hear all these rumors
people just defecating the airport, thewhole bit, and and what. Yeah,
that don't that'll make you warning?Yeah, I mean you see it
on you see it on Twitter andthese and these you know, they you
know, and I'm like, Idon't want to watch this, but it's
it's but you know, it's justit just shows how bad it is in

(01:57:06):
these other cities. And and Houstonisn't any word like that. And and
I don't know what these people,I mean obviously they never went anywhere.
It's just it's just absolutely that's themost insane list I've ever heard. It's
just crazy. Thanks for timing in, John, great stuff. N appreciate
it. Yeah, you know,look when you're walking into Minima Park and

(01:57:28):
you got to walk a couple ofblocks. You know, am I smell
like urine? Might have to stepover a couple of homeless And I'm not
I'm not trying to be an assabout it, but that's legit how it
is down there. What's a littleurine got to do with anything? Put
it on your hands and prevent thecallouses. Ask the mois the slew about
it. You have to pee onhis feet too. Yeah, that's a
big deal. I mean, whohasn't me? Who of you has to

(01:57:49):
take a pee on the ground?Right? The ladies are like men get
an extra advantage because they get todrop trow where they want pee anywhere.
Yeah, that's true. We doit. Is you think about thinking about

you? Who do you? Whodo you? Who? Who do you
want? The draw? I knowwe're gonna get to the Texas. Who
do you want? I would lieseem like you want a Taylor Gooch guy.
I mean, we could just havesome fun with his last name.

(02:01:47):
I wouldn't mind my guy Pat Press. That'd be fun, I know,
that people like the ROMs and peoplepay to play with these because you know,
first of all the problem you wantto have fun, right. I
think I think Bubba Watson would bea good one. He seems like he'd
be a good and I think PhilMickelson would be a go oh yeah,
there might be some yeah, someside bets, side action going on.
To look at his calves. He'sbig in the cave game, Dude,

(02:02:11):
he's got monster big in the cavegame. I shot the best round of
golf I've ever played my life ateighteen holes with his sister. Tina was
a teaching PROGM a great, greatperson, and it was a playing lesson,
It really was. It was alesson. But I said, I
said, and you know, she'shitting in the middle of the whole time,
you know, and blowing it back. And I He's like, That's
what I'm counting on, you know, kept me focused for like eighteen holes.

(02:02:33):
And so it's the best round ofgolf I ever shot with there.
So it'd be fun to play aPhil and he's San Diego guy, right,
So Thursday is gonna be uh,it's gonna be fun, fun,
right, I really don't care.We'll have a blast regarding Yeah, well,
I it's already just leave your clubsin. What do you wanted to
play with it with just a putter? Shouldn't they like balls and balls?
I played with my own balls againagain, and they'll be there. They'll

(02:03:00):
be you know, make sure youwed a tallasy. I can't wait till
like that. I've just to bea wise ass there said there, But
I just flip you the ball likeclean that. No, but I uh,
you know, I'm forever grateful forthis due I don't take a yeah,
and for that to me, it'sthe utmost. It's like a car.
I wouldn't want anybody else carrying it. Yeah, I think it'd be

(02:03:23):
awesome. I'm looking for you know, since my son's cant, I would
like to have you or my daughter. I'd be great to have you do
it. And so we'll have alot of laughs. I don't really care
who the draw is. If it'sa serious guy, then I'm gonna make
him laugh. If it's a funguy, then we'll have a blast.
It's the pro am, but they'realso trying to hit shots and dial in
for their next round and stuff.But whenever you decide to put shorts on
in a golf course and it candeal with some rowdy fans. Let's go,

(02:03:45):
we'll have We'll have a good time. And I'm sure the golf club.
Golf Club used to looks like it'sa phenomenal ship. It looks like
it's have fun. You know what. It's just a lot of laughs and
good times had by all. Yep. I'm gonna be caddying for Sean at
the Live Golf Tournament pro Am onThursday over at the Golf Club of Houston.
I got my new balance ready togo, because it's got to you
they're they're a running shoe. Well, if a fight breaks out, I
like our chances. That's like,like, I don't think Patrick reading his

(02:04:11):
caddie, you're taking us all hot. No, I don't think so.
But Pat, you know, butthey paid nobody. They're paying big money
for some of those guys. SoI doubt we're going to get the rong
draw. But i'd love to have, you know, I'd love to have,
you know, a guy like PatPerez who's a buddy of mine and
playing, but he might I mightget him too unfocused, probably too much.
Yeah, yeah, get back outto the phone line seven one three

(02:04:32):
five seven, Fred, welcome in, Thanks for holding Fred. Hey,
guys, how's it going good?What's on your mind? Well, I'm
calling you all, I guess fromthe fattest dirty city and the apparently man
Fred going on Fred, it's witha pH Yeah, yeah, I think

(02:04:53):
it's with a pH pH. Onceyou got Fred, I got a question.
Okay, I know we sent woBrafido down to sugar Ann. I
get that they wanted to work ona strikeout rate and play at first base,
But long term, do you seethis guy at first base or back

(02:05:15):
in the outfield A long term?Okay? Sorry, go ahead, Fred,
we'll get to your other question.Well, I also in the future
I'm looking. I know Baseball hasMLB has him as a number seventy one
prospect. Do you see Jacob Meltonout there? You know, in our
future appreciate the call for Well that'sa hell of a point. And a
guy who doesn't get talked about muchright now. I mean I'm talking about,

(02:05:36):
you know, a guy who's thetop one hundred prospect in Melton.
So yeah, back to low Perfido. I think they see him as an
outfielder. I think that You're fortunatethe versatility for him, it's a problem
and it's a blessing and maybe alittle curse, right, Brian, that
you're so versatile that you can playthree outfield positions and play first base.

(02:05:56):
But the question is which one wouldbe right now? Craving and pining for
the first base part because there's astruggle there. I think that let's just
say you didn't have a struggle there, or that the center field position the
first base position you felt comfortable aboutboth, or the corner outfield left field.
Wouldn't you think that most people wantlow per Fiedal in the outfield.
Yeah, low Perfiedo. I thinkyou can turn him into a full time

(02:06:18):
center fielder if you wanted, right, Yeah, because of the speed and
he's got pop on the offensive side. The Astros organization likes him as an
outfielder. Right. And then asfar as Jacob Melton, Dana Brown gave
some updates on Jacob Melton last night, saying he should be back in a
week or so. He suffered arisk injury on a diving play at Double
A Corpus Christie, so he shouldbe back soon. I know that they're

(02:06:40):
high on Jacob Melton as well forthe future of this organization. So those
two I would see, I wouldassume they're a big part of the future.
And as far as low Perfido,I just don't see him playing first
base full time. When he doescome up to the major leagues and comes
back up to the major leagues andhas no see, there's probably no way

(02:07:01):
that he's going to get sent backdown. Right, think about the Melton
low Perffeto. If you get productionfrom we were just talking about him earlier,
centerfielder shorts up. If if youget a hit from all of them,
you know what I'm saying, becausepeople are going to come and try

(02:07:23):
to pluck him. Because one thingthis Astro those organization has done as well
as anybody in baseball the last eightto ten years, develop young players that
turn into really good major league players. And look how many assets that they've
used, that people that have cravedtheir assets that they've sent, whether it's
through the Zach Grinky, you know, five of them to the do you

(02:07:45):
the assets that they've been able to, you know, accumulate and now you
know, after they're starting to rebuildthis but you start the three or four
names that pop up. You're like, damn, and look at Arragatty Boom
fitting right in the mentality, thetoughness. And you've seen what Lowfa did
when he came up here, you'veI mean, it's just it's a it's
pretty impressive. So it can't helpbut organizations wanting to pluck those guys.

(02:08:07):
But you mentioned Melton, and sodid our caller, and then you mentioned
was A Fred and and with PedroLeon and low Braffito, you've got three
pretty good young players, right,Yeah, remember Drew Gilbert? Yeah yeah,
he uh here you go. Thereyou go a guy you parted with
as well. He's been hurt forthe Mets. He has not played.
He only uh has had twenty fiveat bats this season. Unfortunately, when

(02:08:31):
you go to the Mets, itseems like you go to the Mets and
injuries happened to all of their goodplayers. Pete A. Lonzo has been
able to stay away from that forthe most part. But isn't it a
pitching and the rest that it is. It's become a a difficult spot for
people to land and and and dogreat things. It's so weird because I
think that guy's got a load ofability. Oh yeah, I mean that

(02:08:52):
took some gumption to have to topart with with him. Yeah, and
unfortunately for him, he's been hurtthis season. In play Syracuse for the
New York Mets. All right,let's uh, let's go to break and
we'll talk about these Houston Texans.They kick off mandatory mini camps to Fawn
Diggs. How is he fitting inso far? We'll discuss the next on

I know where I tease Texans.But uh, there's some news coming
out of Major League Baseball on twodifferent situations. There's one gambling. No,
both of them are gambling. SoChandler Rome just reported this about fifteen

(02:12:37):
minutes ago. A's pitcher Michael Kellyhas been suspended for a year after Major
League Baseball discovered he plays bets onbaseball. While he was with the Astros,
Triple A affiliate in Sugarland. Hebet on games that involved the Astros,
but never played for them. MLB'sstatement says betting data shows that from
October fifth, twenty twenty one,through October seventeen, twenty twenty one,

(02:13:01):
Kelly, who at the time wasa minor league player with Houston, plays
ten bets involving nine MLB games,including bets on the outcome, so forth,
and so on. Three of thenine games on which Kelly plays bets
involved the Houston Astros Major League club. Uh. He won twenty eight dollars
and thirty cents his account bet ninetynine dollars and twenty two cents on MLB

(02:13:22):
games. That's an average of ninedollars and ninety two cents per bet.
He won five of those bets whilehe was with the Astros. He has
been suspended for a year. Andthen that sounds like sounds like something that's
worth nine bucks and a run soundslike something worth risking your career over.
Yeah, what an idiot. Andthen nobody nobody said he had a brain.
And then since San Diego Padres infieldertoo, supoop pup uh, I'm

(02:13:50):
about to butcher the hell out ofthe spell. T U c U p
I t A tu see you tukusukupita. Yeah, that's it took to
coopita. Marcano is facing a potentiallifetime ban for betting on baseball. Major
League Baseball's investigation into Marcano is notcomplete a penalty as Lindsay Adler and Jared

(02:14:13):
Diamond reporter could be imminent. Thisis coming from Jeff Passing yesterday. Should
should have an interpreter. Dude,should have just taken the show. Hal
tany're out. I don't think it'sgoing to stop there to you, No,
I don't. I don't. Ithink we're going to see more and
more players be reprimanded for betting onsports, whether it's betting on baseball,
betting on basketball, football, collegefootball, whatever it is. I think

(02:14:35):
they all do it. I justdon't get the risk reward thing here now
if you're telling me, and Istill wouldn't get it. If you're telling
me and I entered. Okay,so you're not a star player nine dollars.
Yeah, man, you're avag bete. I mean, if you're going

(02:14:56):
go all in, you won thirtydollars, right, I mean, you
know, obviously being facetied and Isay goal and but you get my point.
The risk reward is the risk farout ways of reward. Yeah,
wait till your careers over. You'regetting suspended for a year. Then you're
gonna be without pay for a yearbecause you wanted to bet one hundred dollars.
Wait till your careers over, Yeah, and then go bet all the

(02:15:16):
games you want. If that's whatyou want to do, do it smartly.
I'd like to hope, but wait, wait till your careers over.
So in the off season, Iknow we've discussed this a little bit,
and I just don't get what partyyou wakes up says you know what,
because when it comes to gambling,you are going to leave a trail.
Yeah, so didn't so in yourcareer, yes, in the off season,
could you go to Could you goto Vegas and gamble? You had

(02:15:37):
to tell him, Remember, justa couple of years ago, Tony Romo
couldn't even hold a handful of yearsago, couldn't even hold a when he
was a player at the Cowboy.So what's that been a decade now?
Seven eight years? I said,a couple of years ago he couldn't hold
a fantasy football conference there because itwas in Vegas. And now look we
got names on jersey, I meanon stadiums and all that are gambling sites

(02:15:58):
and betting and the rest. Soyeah, you go to Vegas, of
course you would there be appearance.As a matter of fact, man,
you had to clear it. Forinstance, myself, I remember Jim Kelly.
Was it Jim Kelly or was Jimplaying in the game. There was
a handful of us and went toVegas and players been doing this a long
time, paid to parents. Youhad to let the NFL know. Can't
just show up there and start takingwith it. You had to let him

(02:16:18):
know at that point in time whatyou were there for. To let them
know. The people just so youcould protect yourself and you could go blackjack
and all that, but you justit was so taboo, and when it's
on a locker room door, itwas more you could have walked in and
punched the owner in the face andyou'd had more leeway than you would gambling
on your sport. But I understandthe hypocrisy that we all sat back to

(02:16:43):
say, wait a minute, you'remaking billions and a guy can't bet on
his own sport. Yeah, becauseof the integrity of what goes on,
that's never gonna happen betting on othersports. I personally, Brian don't have
a problem with it. If you'rea baseball player and you want to bet
on college football, well, what'sthe issue. I know that it's like
the Gateway drugs. Right, peoplesay, well, you get Gateway drug

(02:17:05):
marijuana leads to this, leads tothis, leads to this. You'll hear
that same thing of the game,Oh you bet on another sport? When
are you gonna start betting on yoursport? I think that's how they feel
about it. But and there isa hypocrisy to it. But I just
don't understand the comment saences it wastaboo. Yes, at no time in
my life what I've even considered,because you're like, damn no, because
you're afraid to death of it.They're not afraid of it now. And

(02:17:26):
some guys think, well, it'sa year suspension, I'll deal with it,
But it's what goes along with it. And for nine bucks, for
nine dollars, Yeah, I understandif you're in debt and you're thinking how
each and then what happened? Theystart chasing money, and you start chasing
and chasing, and they will findyou, and even if you give it
to your buddy, but at somepoint they'll lead back to your buddy,
and your buddy will, at timesI'm sure to save his ass, will

(02:17:48):
sell you out. You know whatI'm saying. So you had to let
him know he made ninety nine dollarsworth of bets, made twenty nine dollars
off those bets. Now, peopleare gonna say, is it that big
a deal? No, But therule says, and it's not just a
rule, it's a law. Basicallyat sports, you can't bet on your
own sport. And until that changes, well it may be a hypocritical of
pro sports. Now it isn't goingaway, they're not giving that money back.

(02:18:13):
But to police it, you justgot to be smart and realize that
the risk is and you know whatthe truth is, you're rarely going to
win. Yeah, I'm talking aboutin the long haul. And if you're
chasing money, you got no shotbecause then you're making money based on you're
chasing. You're making money based onnot the smart way to do it,
you're making money based on emotions.Yeah. And then you also have to
take into consideration the Tukupita Marcano facingthe potential lifetime ban. So all that

(02:18:35):
information is going to be revealed,right, how many bets did he make
and how many? Is there somebodyelse involved with it that's a major league
baseball player too, that he's goingto say, well, how do I
protect myself even more. And here'sthe other thing is you and Pete Rose
is just sitting back saying if youdon't give him a lifetime ban, what's
the reason, right, how canyou not or you lift his lifetime bans

(02:19:00):
to spend a guy? Hopefully theylearn their lesson. I'm all about rehabbing
people, Yeah I am. I'mabout rehabbing if they screwed up a second
or third time, but send themon their way. But I think rehabbing
when it comes to something like this. But the hypocrisy, and it's something
that you know, we're gonna havethis discussion till you till your career is
over forty years from now, right, Yeah, we definitely because they're not
given the pro sports is not Themoney is only going to come in bigger.

(02:19:22):
It ain't going away. Yeah,they're not giving that money up.
Yeah, no they're not. They'regonna have more and more endorsement deals and
sponsorships from gambling places. It's gonnabe Are you giving up an endorsement deal
for come and ask you to sponsorthem? No, of course you're not,
even if you're not a gambler.But you know about endorsement product sure,
but if you use it, you'rereally gonna do exactly. Speaking of

Sean Salisbury Show continued, Also,I had no idea, but but the
truth is, I can tell youthis, it's not gonna be worth his
his his baseball career and he's done. You also had Michael Kelly of the

(02:21:37):
Oakland A's who we just talked about, Jay Groom of the San Diego Padres,
Jose Rodriguez of Philadelphia, and AndrewSalfranc of Arizona. They've all been
suspended a year for betting. Solet me ask you, this is one
sin bigger than the other. Ifyou bet on baseball two times or bet
on it two hundred times, shouldthe other guys get a year and one
guy get a lifetime ban? What'sthere? How deep this is? What?

(02:22:00):
What's the difference is that the number, the amount of money spent,
who he dealt with in doing it. What's the difference I'm asking, I
don't know what's the difference in?Why are some if they bet? If
they all bet on baseball? Isone sin bigger than the other? Is
one cuss word worse than the other? So Marcano plays two hundred and thirty
one MLB related bets. Okay,so so they only one? He only

(02:22:22):
won four point three percent of them. So then that cost him his career.
Yes, so two hundred and thirtyone MLB bets? That is so
basically what we're saying is it's theit's the quantity over the other guys we've
only bet I'm assuming less time.Couple of them. Yeah, so that's
what we're doing. So it's nowthe number of bets, not that you

(02:22:45):
bet on the so IFA it saysabsolutely do not bet on the sport.
And you bet on the sport,you can bet on it a couple of
times to get a year. Youcan bet on it a bunch of times
and get life lifetime banned. I'mnot being that mean. I just don't
understand what the criteria is for alifetime ban other than it simply says you
can't bet on baseball. You knowit's a lifetime ban. Well, if

(02:23:05):
those other guys bet on baseball,why isn't a lifetime ban. I'm not
saying it should be, but whyisn't it If we're going, where's the
where's the discrepancy between the other fourand him? So in total, Marcano
bet more than one hundred and fiftythousand dollars on baseball, with eighty seven,
three hundred and nineteen dollars of thaton MLB related bets. That's an
average of three hundred and seventy eightdollars per bet. Of the over two

(02:23:30):
two hundred MLB bets Marcano placed overthe period, twenty five of those bets
included Pirates games. While he wasassigned to the Pirates Major League club.
Marcano did not appear in any ofthose games on which he plays bets,
however, because of Marcano's Pirate relatedbets and the vast majority of his bets
overall occurring during that period. Afterhe suffered a season ending knee injury in

(02:23:54):
twenty twenty three, so that's whyhe wasn't playing, But he was still
betting on his own team, bettingon his own team, So it may
not just be betting on baseball now, it's betting on your own team,
which is a harsher punishment apparently,since he's getting banned for life. Well,
if he lost that bigger percentage oftimes, can you imagine going somebody,

(02:24:16):
would you lose your career over onehundred grand and he made back.
So let's say he made one ahandful of them, So you lose seventy
five grand and lose your career I'mtalking about. So if you rants,
just say, let's just say ofthe hundred and something, he lost one
hundred grand and made fifteen grand.Man alive. See that's not just not

(02:24:45):
the risk reward not taking it intoaccount. That's a problem. I mean,
you're just thumbing your nose. They'restaying to Doe two hundred and thirty
one Best Baseball. Betting on yourown team. You had to imagine waking
up every day and every time yougo to the clubhouse wondering did they catch
me? I'm betting on Pirates Baseballwhile I'm in the organization on the major

(02:25:05):
league team better but not playing inthe games. Can you imagine sitting that
dugout while it's going on, andpeople don't wonder why you're so uptight?
I bet on my team. Imean, and you know what, nobody
does that without sharing it with somebody. You know, somebody else knew,
right, you don't usually do thosethings alone. Somebody else, a buddy.

(02:25:26):
You're sharing it, man? Ohyeah, I won twenty grand last
night. I don't know, man, It just the lack of common sense
and the risk reward is just talkabout risk tolerance. Good gracious. Yeah.
So I'm trying to find the informationon the others that were suspended a
year in regards to what they werebetting and compared it to Marcano, but

(02:25:48):
nothing really has has been released.Again, it's ace pitcher Michael Kelly,
Diamondbacks pitcher Andrew sal Frank Padres pitcherJay Groom, and Philly's infielder Jose Rodriguez.
They all received one year suspension isfor betting on other teams. Okay,
so they didn't bet on their ownteam to bet on other teams.
Wow, unbelievad. So the otherones they bet on other teams. That's
why they get a year. Hebet on his own team, That's why

(02:26:11):
he's getting life. Mm hmm.Okay. There that answers the question I
had. There. You go allthis going on and you're still not you.
But people are still gonna say thatShoheo Tani had no knowledge of his
uh interpreter betting. Come on,man, well if he did, come
on, and assuming he did,how well do you recognize those five or
six names that you just read?Got to recognize any of them? Like

(02:26:35):
at all? Who's the who's thewho's the Who's the big dog in Major
League Baseball? That's Shoeotani. Andlet's not forget that. Shoho Tani is
reportedly one of his best friends whilethey were on the Angels together. David
Fletcher is still under investigation by MajorLeague Baseball for allegedly placing best for that
same illegal bookmaker that Misahara used.Hey guys, our guy John, he

(02:26:56):
called back. He wanted to actuallyknow what happened and with show hal Atany.
To me, it seems like he'sstill playing baseball. It looks like
nothing, nothing's happened to So showhe Tani will have no stop or no
speed bump in his baseball season.You can find you can throw that one
out and nothing and nothing happening withthat. That's already happened, and it'll

(02:27:18):
be dealing with the with his guy. You're not gonna be dealing with shoe
he Tany's not. Shoan isn't wakingup every day wondering him. I gonna
get it's not happening. No,that star star alone. Yeah, unless
some bombshell report comes out and showsproof that he was doing it, you
better be able to show it.See what we did there, show it?

(02:27:39):
Ah Yeah. So basically, youknow, we say that you got
to have a fall guy, right, you got to have a fall guy.
Chris Chris Carter said that at theRookie Symposium to the to the to
play a bunch of rookies in theleague, you gotta have an interpreter that'll,
that'll that keeps you protection. Okay, taking the show hell tany route.

(02:28:01):
Can you imagine waking up today knowingyour band for life at a baseball
from your career over what you bet? Think about that? Dude, bet
over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. You're in trouble when you love the
gambling more than you like your owncareer, no question about it. That
troubles. Trouble follows, and unfortunatelyit apparently he didn't protect his trail.
Yeah cost him a career. Yeah, did cost him his career. He

(02:28:26):
faces Marcano from San Diego, thepadres he faces. He is now banned
from baseball for life. Crazy crazystuff. All right, a little bit
of hot water for Pat McAfee.What did he say about Caitlin Clark?
That's next to sport stock seven toinetymen's T clinic. You can be well

little blood, get tested for lowtestosterone. You'll get the answers by the
time the day is up, maybeby the time you leave the building,
so then we can start to normalizeit. Fellas. I don't know why
you'd want to go through twenty twentyfour if you suffered through twenty twenty three
with brain and lack of energy andwondering, how in the hell am I
going to get myself back to whereI wanted, where Mama's happy at home.

know what we're gonna have to save. It's football time in Houston for tomorrow.
It's all right, they got mandatorymini camp today, tomorrow and Thursday.

(02:30:18):
So we got time. You gottime, got plenty of it,
plenty of you ready to hear PatMcAfee had to say about Kaylyn Clark.
I'd love to, all right,So, obviously everything that was said about
the Kaylyn Clark situation over the weekendwhere she was knocked to the ground,
and it's been made that, youknow, players in the league are extremely
jealous of her, so forth,so on, the whole thing we talked

(02:30:39):
about earlier in the show, whichis pretty obvious, clearly clear envy,
so forth, and so on.Pat mcaveee opened up his show yesterday talking
about Kaylen Clark, and this outsounded so I think what we're trying to
say is what the WNBA currently hasis what we like to describe as a
cash cow. There is a superstar, and we're not saying that the players

(02:31:01):
on the courteneyed act any differently.That's the athletes are going to do what
athletes are going to do in anysport. I think we're all learning that
WNBA that's old school football. Thatis old school football. But I would
like the media people that continue tosay this rookie class, this rookie class,
this rookie class, not just callit for what it is. There's

(02:31:22):
one white bitch for the Indiana teamwho is a superstar. And is it
because she stayed in Iowa, putan entire state on her back, took
a program from nothing to a multipleyear's success story. Is it because she
would go on to break the entirepoints records in the history of the ENCAUM,
not just the women's record by KelseyPlumb shout out, but also pistol

(02:31:43):
Pete Maravich's the dude's record as well. Is there a chance that people just
enjoy watching her play basketball because howelectrifying she is, what she did,
what she stood for, how shewent about doing what she went for maybe,
But instead we have to hear peoplesay that we all like her because
she's one, and she's the onlypopular because the rest of the rookie class

(02:32:03):
is doing what they're doing. Well, that's a bunch of b and we
think the WNBA, more specifically,their refs, need to stop trying to
screw her over at every single turn. What you have is somebody special,
and we're lucky she's here. Spotthe lie that part of it. Lucky
she's here and special, yeah,and brings eyes and ears and ratings and

(02:32:26):
money and attention to a sport thatthey've desperately been craving for the longest time.
You don't have to say she's thebest player. She's a great player
in college and she'll be a greatplayer in the WNBA. I assure you,
Nobody should says she's going to bea great player. Yeah, And
nobody says you shouldn't be physical withher. Nobody says you shouldn't rookie her
up. I'm all about it.But the fact that's saying that, well,

(02:32:48):
only people like her because she's white. Like McAfee was saying that if
that's the case, come on now, just stop it. Just stop it.
Whether there is or isn't, that'sthat, that's a them thing.
Whoever approaches it that way, I'llsay it as clearly as I can.
Remove her skill set, Just removeit. There's there's players that are better

(02:33:11):
than her right now in the wNBA. Just remove her skill set from
college in here. Now, that'sa big reason why people love watching Jersey
Sales because she was a great player. But just remove that and just go
with just take what her impact hasmeant to young to young girls too,
men and women alike. Watch,dude, when's the last time you sit

(02:33:31):
down watch I mean consistently watching WN. You haven't, No, I have
not, Okay, but you arenot. Tripley said the other day,
it's the first time you ever watchedthe game and she was playing it.
Yeah, the Angel reach against herthis past week weekend. So the point
is not that there wasn't talent there, that that's not the problem, That
that's not the issue here. There'sbeen a ton of talent go all the
way back in the eighties. It'scome into the league, but I can

(02:33:52):
tell you this, nobody's brought moreattention to it. And if you're gonna
cry loud, and I understand it. For more money, more pay,
ratings, all the things that youmore endorsements, more people talking about it
on national shows or on local shows. Then you have to have people that
will are enhancing the product and bringingeyes to it. And guess what she's

(02:34:16):
done. It's exactly what she's done. That's exactly. So if you don't
even like her skill set, whichI wouldn't understand, but if you don't
like the way she plays, oryou don't it's not even her game.
That league and those players should embracethe fact that they're getting more attention than
they would have ever got if itwas just them playing. Sorry, it's
just a fact. It's just afact. America and Basketball Black White NBA

(02:34:39):
wn I mean businesses in Iowa outsideIowa love her game and love what she's
brought to the table, and it'sbrought more attention than the WNBA has gotten
two decades, let alone two weeks. Okay her. She has brought attention
to a sport that wanted it andhas it and now is fighting it.

(02:35:01):
I don't. And it's her ownIt's it's not outside, it's the people
in her own league. It's herown people, which I don't get the
jib. Maybe that's just life andsociety. Now, I've never understood not
rooting for people's success, especially ifa teammate of mine. Everybody wins,
who who doesn't win? From this? More eyes? Now, if your
game's not good enough to keep up, then that's on you and I.

(02:35:22):
And she's not complaining about She justkeeps showing up and playing. Treat her
like a rookie. I don't care, but don't don't don't try to fight
off what she's actually brought to thetable that you've been blessing, that you've
been begging for, and she putit on a silver platter, and it's
right there in front of you.And more eyes are watching WNBA than ever
before. This has been the numberone topic nationally for two days in a

(02:35:45):
row. Now, yes, theyare talking about it on all the national
shows this morning. When's the lasttime it was the number one topic two
hours in a row? Probably never. And we've had and we've had plenty
of great players that have earned that. He mentioned Plump, Cheryl Miller,
Diana Tarassi, Cheryl Swoops. Imean, the list goes on and on
about great players. Yeah, butthere's a different in great players and people

(02:36:05):
who can move. She's a needlemover and she's putting money in your pocket.
Why the hell are you fighting withbeing a hater. Yeah, I'm
just talking about all the other stuff. Now. On the court, she's
down in the low block. Giveher all the four army you want to
rough her up. I have atit basketball play, I have ad it.
But I would be grateful for theattention if it was if I was
at a question, no doubt,no question. That's gonna do it.
