Souls. Great, Okay, let'sdo this. Sewan Salisbury, The usc
Truth, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Ryan Lima, go Lobo. This
is the Sean Salisbury Show, TripleGood Morning Love Fridays, Good Morning.
(00:27):
We got going on here, fellows, Well, we got our just we're
just kind of easing our way intoand you came out with a bunch of
fake energy, fake and no,no, this is me, every bunch
of fake energy. I'll just kiddthis man. It's it's good to be
here, but it really is.It's always good to be here. You
guys feel me on that. Ifeel your dog. Indeed, I'm picking
up what you're putting down. Ilike it when people pick up what I'm
(00:48):
putting down. You know what I'msaying. Oh yeah, yeah, good
headlines this morning too. JJ Reddickis the Lakers said coach earned it.
Put all that you put all thatcoaching time in and got the Lakers head
coaching job. I mean a lotof podcasting time in. There's no question.
I mean, isn't that the wayit goes? I get in Today's
NBA? Yeah? Absolutely. MantiWilliams is just sitting on a stack of
(01:11):
cash. JJ Reddick you know,gets to host his own podcast, and
he gets to host another podcast withLebron James. Then he gets to,
uh, you know, be inthe broadcast booth with the NBA Finals crew,
and next thing, you know,boom, he's the Lakers head coach.
Yeah, it's a trip, Isn'tit a joke? It's a Joke's
an absolute joke, no question aboutit. But uh, good on him.
(01:34):
You got a lot of pressure thatit's no longer. I mean,
it's it's the Lakers, but it'snot the Uh how can I say it?
I wouldn't say it's the most covetedjob in the league right now because
you got to deal with some stuff. Now, how how is how are
he and his buddy Lebron gonna how'she gonna coach that up? Yeah?
Good luck? Good luck. Sobasically, Lebron's the head coach and JJ
(01:55):
Reddick's the assistant. But JJ's justgoing to be calling the shots because he's
labeled the head coaches this pretty much, he'll be the GM as well.
Lebron James will not will has been. It's just it's it's ridiculous, man,
I mean, what what what?What when the Lakers look at JJ
(02:16):
Reddick. What could he offer asa head coach to get those guys on
the Lakers roster to the NBA Finals. Honestly, play there knows the game
obviously, but I mean, comeon, man, they're gonna have to
get a lot better in a lotof situations to uh have a chance to
(02:42):
run through the web. They're they'rethey're they're just another guy in the West
right now. They really are.Yeah, that's all they bring. But
I mean, listen, you can'tblame JJ Redick for turning the damn thing,
I mean for taking it. Hell, somebody's gonna offer the Lakers job.
Wouldn't you taken it? Oh?Yeah, I would have. I
mean I wouldn't want to actually,you know what I mean, I would
still take it, but I wouldI don't know. I just don't want
to be anywhere near Lebron James,excuse me, and Anthony Davis just feel
(03:07):
like that's just a no win situation, even though Lebron's arguably one of the
greatest players of all time top tworight, and yet it seems like every
time he gets a new head coach, he's fought. That head coach is
fired. In a year two.You know, the only one that really
made it through coaching him was EricSpolstra. Yeah, that's about right.
(03:30):
Everybody else is that's about well,he didn't have pat Riley wasn't gonna fire
Spolstra. Yeah. And you knowwhy is because it wasn't Lebron's team.
It was Dwayne Wade's right when hewas down in my hand, pat Riley,
and it was pat Riley's team,and he made sure that's the way
it's going to be treated. Soyou know, it's listen, I don't
(03:50):
know, doane. I don't wantanybody to tell me that Lebron James didn't
have any hand in this. Comeon, man, he had everything in
this. Yeah. I don't thinkthat there's any doubt. Yeah, he
had everything in this. Well we'lltalk about that higher a little bit more
later on in the show. Astroswin a series. It was ugly yesterday,
but many they were able to finda way to win. Jordan Alvarez
(04:13):
was back in the lineup. Hehit a home run drove into Astros win
five to three. This offense,man, is frustrating, to say the
least. They were two for fourteenwith runners in scoring position, and I
think they finally got those two likein the seventh, if I'm not mistaken,
(04:34):
Yeah, when they put up afour spot and a couple of those
runs were thanks to an error againstthe White Sox. Yeah, they're listen,
man, I think it's pretty obviousthat the uh that the offense is
going to have to win you playgood teams, that you're gonna have to
(04:54):
do more. I think that's prettyobvious. But listen, I'm gonna take
a win anyway I can get it, ugly wins opposed to you know,
pretty losses, to where you're youknow, you're swinging the bat and you
get twelve hits and driving four runs, but you end up getting beat seven
to four. Give me a giveme an ugly win any day of the
(05:15):
week, and I'll take it,especially with this team. Them scramble around,
they definitely need just then they gotto scrape out any way they possibly
can. But this is the wayit's going to be all friggin' year.
This is not going to change.And the consistency of you know, where
everybody in the lineup's rolling. Howmany times have we seen so far in
(05:38):
twenty twenty four where you've gone fouror five games where you say championship team,
even if they've won what the biggestwinning streak six even in the six
wins, were you saying championship team. No, that's what I mean.
It's just now, I'm not eventalking about the injuries. We know that's
a problem. But if you startmaking excuses now for them, where they
(05:59):
make excuses, they're never going toget to where they want to go anyway.
If that's the case. But withthat, you've watched phillya, I'm
just using teams. You've watched theDodgers of Philly or the Yankees the time
and said, now, that isa World Series team. And we've said
that about the Astros in the past. But this year with you know,
listen, it's been a piecemeal thingthe whole the whole season, they haven't
(06:23):
had Here's the thing. When yousay they haven't hit, hit on all
cylinders, yet they say, Okay, it's gonna happen. But is it
that? I think that's the questionwe've got. Is it we keep waiting
for it to be a regular dailyoccurrence that hasn't hit. So I'm I
am. I think it's actually intriguingto watch them. And yes, when
(06:45):
they it's so maddening to see allthe runners left on on base do that
against Baltimore and they've got no shot. Correct. Yeah, they're they're gonna
get. They're gonna get. That'sexactly right. Kurb stopped all the way
up and down. So it's,uh, it's gonna be pretty interesting to
see and know you're throwing out anotheryoung guy. We're going to see how
he goes today. It's listen,they're just gonna have to have people do
(07:09):
some things they're not used to doingif they want to get where they want
to go. But I am okaywith I'm not okay with all the runners
left on base, but I'm okaywith somehow getting to win. But they
just look subpar so often, whichis not something we're used to in this
town with this team. Yeah,they left eleven men on base yesterday,
(07:32):
but hey, it's a series win. It's a step in the right direction
to try to get back to fivehundred. Just like Dana Brown said on
Wednesday, they're thirty five and forty, so they're five away from five hundred
ball. It's it's just it seemslike it's the same thing over and over
again. But yet they're playing areally bad White Sox team, and we're
(07:56):
able to find a way to win. Like I said earlier, and have
you seen Martin Maldonado's stats. Ihaven't even looked. He was one for
three yesterday that got his average topoint zero nine point zero nine zero,
slugging a buck thirty five. Youwant him back, though, right?
No you don't. I'm good.Why not? I mean if you were
(08:18):
to come back, be a managermaybe, or not a manager, like
a bench coach or something. Leadership, yes, so I'm saying you don't
have to be in the lineup.There you are, good morning, There
he is. I just figured thathe's gone mi I A with the bat
for a few years. But doyou want the all right, what's more
(08:39):
important? Ninety one or leadership?You're gonna give him a extra point?
Yeah? I think you know.Listen, the line drive foul gives you
an extra point. In my book, I think there is an aspect to
the Astros missing him as a leader, But as far as that abysmal,
would they be better starting on theroster four days start yes, absolutely,
(09:01):
not four days a week, no, Sinai. Leadership wouldn't matter. So
to get his ass out of theline. I'll go, yeah, let
him let him catch frombur and I'mokay, But why won't you let him
cook? That's what hurts me.You refuse to let Maldonado cook. His
on base percentage is a buck fortyfour. I'm not I'm not good at
(09:22):
math, but uh that's two seventynine. Ops. I'd bring him back
next year for two years at thirtysix mil, eighteen million. What is
he? Rafael Montero? No,I'm sorry, what is he? Jose
Brad, Joe Brady? Yeah,yeah, what's he doing? Probably at
Chase Bank picking up his direct deposit. It's Friday. He's down in mi
(09:43):
A going Mia. Yeah, onin the A one a, down in
mi A going you yeah, comeon now, son? Yeah, I
you know what I'm kidding about that. I don't which part the fact that
Maldonado's old ninety would would would couldyou imagine if he was still here?
(10:03):
Yeah? You would? Well,oh my gosh, we might we just
turn on the mic, welcome everybodyin and say take it away for four
hours. That's what it would be. But there is that element of leadership
that's a problem though. Right now, him and jose Bray, you both
in this lineup for the first seventygames. Yeah, it it would be.
It would be a little bit brutal, a little bit, and you
(10:26):
know, I'm obviously being facetious.It would be a hard take right now.
And you know what hard pass withJose Bray, you gone. They
still have a big hole at firstbase. John Singleton is hitting two sixteen.
Listen, the only way you're goingto get production from that position with
power is go get flat. Yougot to get out of the building.
You got to go out of thebuilding. You just have to. I
(10:50):
don't see. I don't think thisis a playoff team if they don't do
something out of the building right now, I understand they've won and they will.
They're what They're nine back now iswhat it is. Do what happened?
Had Seattle? Did Seattle play yesday? I won't paying attention. They
did, didn't they didn't they getbeat Let's see, are they eight back
now? They got beat by theGuardians, that's right, So they're eight
back? Right, So they gainedtwo games in the last two and it's
(11:13):
no no shame getting beat by Cleveland. And now I'm sure Seattle saying we
got to learn that they are gotwe got to win this eight games back.
They're eight back. Can they wina World Series with the current roster?
You say no, I don't thinkDaden Brown believes they can't eat it,
but he thinks they can get tothe playoffs. But they've closed the
gap in two games in two days, and you see how fast it can
change. But I I just andjust as quickly as you can do that,
(11:35):
you don't go in and take yourbusiness against Baltimore, you give that
thing right back. So I don'tknow they're gonna have. They got a
lot of convincing to do, toproof to not only us, but to
them they're I mean, do youthink they believe they're World Series team?
I guess inside they do. ButI'm talking about where nobody talks about by
themselves. When they're sitting at home. Do you think they look around each
other and say we got it thisyear? No? You think they question
(11:56):
what's going on. And when they'reby themselves, sitting with their wife,
they're sitting at their office desk,and when they went they're talking about and
they're talking about what's going on.I think there's frustration. Yeah, and
I think there's some other things goingon too, But yep, so I
listen. I hope I'm wrong.Maybe it's the reverse psychology that we're starting
to use because we've ridden the Thisis such a great talented roster, but
(12:18):
not a great team. Maybe thereverse psychology will work. But in two
days they were at eight and theywon too, but it was against and
you saw what the Oriols did theYankees yesterday New York was seventeen to five.
Yeah, seventeen to two. Whatwas it? Only seventeen runs on
them? Oh my gosh. Andso you're running into a pretty good team.
So this this will be a goodtest this weekend. It was seventeen
(12:41):
five. The Orioles pounded out nineteenhits. Yep, all buddy, wow,
seventeen to five. All right,let's let's go to break and we'll
discuss the Houston Astros. They calledsomebody up to start tonight against the Orioles.
