Wrapping up their three game series against the Mariners yesterday afternoon, the Astros take one out of the two from Seattle and now head on the road up to Cleveland to take on the Guardians in their final series of the regular season. Finishing out the last game 8-1 here at home in Minute Maid, the Astros fanbase gives a standing ovation to Alex Bregman as the Astros close out the game. Entering into next season as a free agent, many begin to wonder, have we seen Alex Bregman's last game here in Houston as an Houston Astro?

Saulsby. Okay, let's do this. Sean Salisbury, The usc Truth,
longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Bryan Lima, go Lobos. This is
the Seawan Salisbury Show.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Texans gearing up for their matchup this weekend against Jacksonville,
Tank Dell a little banged up. Caitlyn Clark. Her rookie
season has come to a close. They get eliminated in
at the playoffs of the w NBA playoffs or a playoffs. Yeah, whatever,
you get the point. Shawn Tripley, good morning was happening.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So good morning. Ain't nothing but the rent Cuz really
that's how you're starting this day. Oh yeah, I'm just
happy to be here. Man. You took it one day
at a time. I did one day at a times
throwback Thursday. Yeah, Bregman made about ten million extra dollars
(01:05):
last night Ezer did, didn't he? Oh my god? Shae Witcombe?
What are we doing? Shae Whitcombe? Last night was Kevin
Costner in what's the golf movie? Tin Cup ten Cup,
(01:25):
where he's trying to hit it on the green in
two and rolls it back in the water fifteen times.
Takes about a fourteen or thirteen or fifteen whenever it
wasn't a hole. Yeah, with the US open on the line. Yeah, yeah,
that poor kid. And he came in in the fifth inning,
I know what's worth a fifth inning and made it
the fourth inning. Yeah it was you know to Bregman
(01:48):
walked off that he you don't root for that. We
walk off to a bunch of airs and then you
turn back around and say, man, thank you for the
curtain call. I was able to possibly my last home
game at minute made as an as an Astro and
get that ovation. And then happen to watch a kid
who's been pretty sure handed, he's got a great future,
and he went through his rock bottom defensive night that
(02:09):
he'll never have again in his career. That many airs,
but it was constant. Hit it to me again again.
I think he stuck his gloveouts and put the ball
in here, you know, like like he did with cheech Maaron.
He said, give you another, give you another ca give
me another ball. No, just lay it. This is laid up,
(02:29):
and give me another ball. So Bregman's new contract will
be eight years for thirty two million a year. Yeah. Uh.
Here with the Astros seeing the fact that club chase
Shay may not be ready for that jest yet, I
don't think so. Man, four errors in six innings, here's
all you can do. Honestly, in truth, we all had
(02:53):
that test. We forgot and woke up or knew it
was coming and didn't study. He said, I'm just gonna
wing it. And you woke up that morning and then
all of a sudden the pit in your stomach kicked
and you're like, why did I do this while you
were having a blast, and the teacher just then at
the end of the smeeth you don't know what's going
at the end of the semester, teachers, we're throwing out
your worst score. Yeah, You're like, okay, thank god, oh
(03:15):
thank you. It's listen, everybody has their worst day in baseballer,
in sports. Whether it's like you struck out five times, right,
you went golden sombrero times one? Oh yeah, you know,
plus one? Should I say? And then you uh, you know,
make two or three airs in a game. Unfortunately he
made one more than that, just to where you do
and if you don't, it'll eat you alive. Yeah, someday, honestly,
(03:37):
he's going to look back and say, because we know
he's I mean, the spot has said he's got great
hands and he's a good defensive player. You've got to
look back and say when they say, He'll go speak
at a banquet or something at office and they'll say, hey,
you remember your worst day in baseball? Do I? Yeah?
It was uh with four games to go in the season,
we just clinched. Everybody celebrating. Unfortunately I could enjoy the
(03:58):
celebration because I couldn't get any I couldn't play defense.
That's that's that's what it'll be, and hopefully it'll be.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
And and you know what, I had four airs and
five innings, six innings.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah what do we always say? The ball will find
you right And it did just to you know, and
I'm trying to make light of it. Why it's not
funny for him. But someday he'll say, we all remember
that day, Like h Like I through four picks in
the game, dude, it wouldn't have mattered. I could have
thrown it to a wide open guy somehow. Someway it
(04:30):
was gonna hit Ale. It was gonna hit the dog
gun something on the way there or something was gonna
have balls gonna get intercepted and To top it off,
the last one ended up as a touchdown for an interception.
It was one of the we all and every single
quarterback they're played has had that day. You're like, oh gosh,
and I got to drop back to pass again for
the fortieth time, and now I'm gonna throw it to
(04:50):
the other one every ten times ends up with the
other team's hands. We've all had it, and it was
Now you want to talk about a miserable plane right home?
Oh god, do you want to talk about a horrible
playing right home and a horrible week until you get
to do it the next week and play, and inevitably
the next week you feel pretty good about your game,
right but it did not matter? Was well? And then
the opposite is true. You're gonna he's gonna have a
(05:11):
game where you're gonna hit two home runs and make
four spectacular plays on defense, gonna say okay. And then
there's those games when you say, and I don't know
about today, and then you're you're so locked in it
doesn't matter. If you close your eyes, it's gonna land
in your guys. And but there, dude, I could laugh now,
but I'm telling you that seat right that home that
flight home. The only thing you're thinking about is Okay,
(05:33):
let my team down, embarrassed myself. I know I'm better
at this position than what what I put up there today,
because last week I threw for three fifty And I mean,
you're going through these things in your mind. You're sitting
I let my team we got beat first and foremost
most important, I embarrassed myself. I'm better than that. I
let my teammates down, and then last, and you sit
here thinking excuse for about a week, it's like, my
(05:55):
teammates looking at me different. Uh, but you handle it,
you don't. We take all the blade pop. Well. Then
you walk into a restaurant after and you think that
everybody's looking at you like, oh it was you that guy. Yeah,
that's honest to god, it's like and really nobody cares
about you that much. But you think that the whisper
that everybody at their table or at the bar is
staring at you, thinking.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Great job today. What is really, honestly like, what is
that week like? Because the beauty about baseball shay whitgumb
get another day the very next day you get to
turn around and play again.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Or you got today he gets to go and clean
and and they'll they'll start him and he'll he'll play.
They're gonna make sure he gets right defensive plays. And
it bat's why they don't want him to have this
field right, because he gets to turn around and fix
it right. But for football player, horrible, dude, you throw
four steps in the game. You got that whole week
to let that damn thing fester. And anybody who started
any number of games, if you haven't thrown three or
(06:47):
four picks in one for a touch, we've all thrown
one for a touch. It doesn't matter. And it just
it's in one of those ages like I felt great, well,
how in the hell is no the same me? But
it didn't matter. And then you throw the touch for
interceptions down the FLD. All of a sudden, the guy
starts working his way down the field. You're like, seventy
five yards? How'd that guy get in the endzone? How
did none of us make a tack? I mean, it
wouldn't have mattered if we had twenty five guys. He
(07:09):
was getting to the end zone. You know, it's one
of those it didn't matter. We were all going to
just fall down. He was gonna score I'll tell you
what it's like. It's a first and foremost is horrible
because you don't rarely, rarely do you throw four picks
and win. So I just felt like it was a
I completely let my teammates down, and they it wasn't
for lack of preparation, it was for lack of execution.
(07:31):
And then what happens after you throw in your second,
when you're like and you're getting your ass handed to you,
You're like, Okay, how do I fix this? So you
go out and try to fix it, and then there's
a small winning, so I'm gonna make up for those
two picks. I'm fitting this, So you try to force it.
Guy gets a fingernail on it, and all of a
sudden somebody else catch it. And then you take an
extra hitch on a comeback or something, just one slight
(07:51):
little reset because he couldn't get vision on the throw
split second late, guy squats on it takes it to
the house, so and then you over run to go
get him. Somebody gets your way, he cuts back and
goes and scores. You're like, you see the back of
his jersey, right, Oh, it's horrible because and then it's
usually a long flight home. It's not like the forty
five minute or so. You guys sit there and you're
(08:11):
like right, and then you get there and in five
hour you don't sleep because you're staring at the sea
and like tomorrow's gonna suck because now I get to
go relive it and all the team will go watch it,
and you're gonna sit there and say, that guy on
a dig rot, Sewan, who's wide open? How'd you miss
the throw? Or did that window? You couldn't have thrown
that in there if you had a can, I mean
(08:33):
a literal cannon. See the guy in front of him
where the linebacker dropped into your drop that guy in
front of him that you preach all the time, check down,
go to that guy. And so you go back there
and the picture is even worse the next day because
it's slow motion reap back and for Sewan, what'd you
see here? Book? And it's not even for you. It's
(08:53):
like teammates. I hosed my teammates and put him in
a bad wouldn't matter how good our defense played might
that day, it just couldn't didn't work. So but for baseball,
they do get a chance to go back out there
and do it at some point in his career because
I smirk about it now, but I'll tell you what
for the whole and then it's money, and again the
week goes slow. Media is on your ass, media availability.
(09:15):
You know they have social media, thank god. Oh dude,
that's why I tell them not to be honest, because
everybody's going to go through that day if you're sensitive
or thin skinned, which I'm not sensitive to my teammates.
So that said that, it is some guy sitting the
stands judging my throw. But they had a right to
boom me. They had a right even though I was
on the road. They had a right to be angry
and all that stuff. But oh and it seems like
(09:37):
it took a week and a half to get to Tuesday,
which is our day off. But you can't enjoy your
day off because you're like still reeling from Sunday, right,
and then on Wednesday you're back to work and you
move on to the next one. But now you're sitting
and thinking, Okay, let me gain this confidence back of
my teammates, so I could have a great week of
practice and every leaves of whatever it is you dial in, right,
But I, uh, it's it's it was harsh. Anywait and
(10:01):
you cannot wait to go play. It's horrible. It's horrible,
and with social media, a million people will kill you
online right right, and I'm playing in my hometown with
Chargers and it's and it's like, come on, sehn And
it was just it was it was just a horrible feeling.
But he'll be uh, he'll be okay, and we can
see I might add light to it, because you know what,
there ain't nothing you can do about it. Nobody in
(10:22):
that clubhouse thinks the guy can't play. You're on the
big leagues for a reason. One of those days where
it wouldn't have mattered if you'd had a fishing net,
or you wouldn't mattered if you had a iron Byron,
you know, the golf thing that throws it right to
where you want to throw it. It wouldn't have mattered.
Or if a pop fly was gonna look like a
pee coming at you one hundred and twenty miles an hour,
any of the three or four ways you can make
(10:44):
an air you just that day yesterday, he would he
was not going to make a play. So that was
his rock bottom defense of his career.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
And to add insult to injury, he was recognized yesterday
as the Astros Minor League Minor League Player of the Year.
He got honored before the game the game of plaque.
He took a picture of Dana Brown and then he
goes out gets in the game of the fourth inning
to replace, uh be a defensive replacements for Break and
he makes more errors.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Maybe just maybe he was he was still thinking about
he he he. You know they say, hey, don't read
your own press clippics. Maybe it was like, hey, I
have the Minor League Player of the Uh can you say, well,
you want the award back at the end of the game.
But yeah, he uh, it's good and we can lie.
I'm not making fun of it, trying to add light
because if if he doesn't, all you can do is
(11:35):
look at your teammates and say, you know, come to
the like when you're traveling, come to the team playing
today with a like one of those walls and one
of those big foam hand gloves, like you just saying, guys,
will this help you know? Or one of those right,
just joking around, freaking right goalie hockey ma right, just
for fun. Because then all the fellas because they're smirkings. Say, dude,
(11:55):
every single one of us, even the great Alex. I
mean he may not have made four, but he's made
a couple layers in a game somewhere in his career, right, yeah,
everybody has. So he's gonna be all right. But Bregman, everybody,
I'm sure hope everybody said, let's see Bregman's up to
twenty nine million, thirty million, thirty one. And how ironic
it is too. We had a caller yesterday called and
said I want to pay him thirty minute because there's
(12:17):
glove alone. Well then that was that was yesterday morning,
by about three o'clock yesterday afternoon. I'm sure you're saying,
I gonna play Bregman forty million dollars a year. So, uh,
he'll be all right though, but it's a he gets
to go out and you know, you you probably if
you're if you're whether it's the truth is, let's say, Bregman,
you want to get bregmanted back your d h Bregman
(12:37):
on on uh Friday Friday and let him go back
to third base because and then he'll probably go out
there and make three gems. Right. We make plays like Okay,
it's over. But the fellows will give him a little
bit of a hard time because you have to you know,
that's a kangaroo court. You have to do. Yeah, And
if he can't laugh at it, then he will. You're
not long for baseball if you can't, or any sport
if you can't laugh at just when it's that bad
(12:59):
that day. On a matter of fact, one in a
clutch game would have felt worse. Oh yeah, because because
you know what I'm saying, like it a single elimination game,
you had the hold off. It had been miserable four
in a game like I was like, do we know
you're better? It's just a comedy. It's like a comedy
of errors. And if you can't laugh at it, dude,
that's that's where the thick skin part of it comes
into it.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Now, at least lookly, look man, at least he bounced
it out too fielding airs, two throwing errors, you.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Know times so the only thing missing? No, Samson, Well,
you know when you at the point when it's eight
to one, you finished, quit quit watching, You're like, well,
when I come back, will there be two more airs?
He just happened to drop a couple of poff flash.
Yeah it all It's all you needed. Man. It was
like I said, it would not have mattered, dude, he
would have dropped a relay throw, yes, for sure if
it was just one of those days. So hang in there,
young fella. You're gonna be all right, better now than
(13:44):
in your twelfth the year would you wait for a
new contract? They say, oh, remember you led the league
in airs? Hey, pain just had to deal with that
all year. Yeah, it's just not four on one game,
but the going through that. He'll spend some time in
the off season staring at some tape why certain things happened.
He was all for fourth to plate.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Have a day, kid, but hey, he was recognized Minor
League Baseball Player of the Year for the Houston Nationals organization.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But it is. It is the all time classic. What
do you say, how'd well listen? Tough day in the field,
how'd you do with the plate? Well? I was over.
I was oh for four there too. Matter of fact,
the four airs made up for the lack of hitting.
I could do yesterday too, So that'd be all right.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
We've all been there, man, Hey, tough man in that loss,
the mini made park faithful gave Alex Bregman a standing
ovation when he was removed from the game. What could
possibly be his last regular season game at Minim Park.
Will that be his last regular season game, Let's discuss
the next
Saulsby. Okay, let's do this. Sean Salisbury, The usc Truth,

at a time. I did one day at a times
throwback Thursday. Yeah, Bregman made about ten million extra dollars

the throw? Or did that window? You couldn't have thrown
that in there if you had a can, I mean
(08:33):
a literal cannon. See the guy in front of him
where the linebacker dropped into your drop that guy in
front of him that you preach all the time, check down,
go to that guy. And so you go back there
and the picture is even worse the next day because
it's slow motion reap back and for Sewan, what'd you
see here? Book? And it's not even for you. It's
(08:53):
like teammates. I hosed my teammates and put him in
a bad wouldn't matter how good our defense played might
that day, it just couldn't didn't work. So but for baseball,
they do get a chance to go back out there
and do it at some point in his career because
I smirk about it now, but I'll tell you what
for the whole and then it's money, and again the
week goes slow. Media is on your ass, media availability.
(09:15):
You know they have social media, thank god. Oh dude,
that's why I tell them not to be honest, because
everybody's going to go through that day if you're sensitive
or thin skinned, which I'm not sensitive to my teammates.
So that said that, it is some guy sitting the
stands judging my throw. But they had a right to
boom me. They had a right even though I was
on the road. They had a right to be angry
and all that stuff. But oh and it seems like
(09:37):
it took a week and a half to get to Tuesday,
which is our day off. But you can't enjoy your
day off because you're like still reeling from Sunday, right,
and then on Wednesday you're back to work and you
move on to the next one. But now you're sitting
and thinking, Okay, let me gain this confidence back of
my teammates, so I could have a great week of
practice and every leaves of whatever it is you dial in, right,
But I, uh, it's it's it was harsh. Anywait and
(10:01):
you cannot wait to go play. It's horrible. It's horrible,
and with social media, a million people will kill you
online right right, and I'm playing in my hometown with
Chargers and it's and it's like, come on, sehn And
it was just it was it was just a horrible feeling.
But he'll be uh, he'll be okay, and we can
see I might add light to it, because you know what,
there ain't nothing you can do about it. Nobody in
(10:22):
that clubhouse thinks the guy can't play. You're on the
big leagues for a reason. One of those days where
it wouldn't have mattered if you'd had a fishing net,
or you wouldn't mattered if you had a iron Byron,
you know, the golf thing that throws it right to
where you want to throw it. It wouldn't have mattered.
Or if a pop fly was gonna look like a
pee coming at you one hundred and twenty miles an hour,
any of the three or four ways you can make
(10:44):
an air you just that day yesterday, he would he
was not going to make a play. So that was
his rock bottom defense of his career.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
And to add insult to injury, he was recognized yesterday
as the Astros Minor League Minor League Player of the Year.
He got honored before the game the game of plaque.
He took a picture of Dana Brown and then he
goes out gets in the game of the fourth inning
to replace, uh be a defensive replacements for Break and
he makes more errors.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Maybe just maybe he was he was still thinking about
he he he. You know they say, hey, don't read
your own press clippics. Maybe it was like, hey, I
have the Minor League Player of the Uh can you say, well,
you want the award back at the end of the game.
But yeah, he uh, it's good and we can lie.
I'm not making fun of it, trying to add light
because if if he doesn't, all you can do is
(11:35):
look at your teammates and say, you know, come to
the like when you're traveling, come to the team playing
today with a like one of those walls and one
of those big foam hand gloves, like you just saying, guys,
will this help you know? Or one of those right,
just joking around, freaking right goalie hockey ma right, just
for fun. Because then all the fellas because they're smirkings. Say, dude,
(11:55):
every single one of us, even the great Alex. I
mean he may not have made four, but he's made
a couple layers in a game somewhere in his career, right, yeah,
everybody has. So he's gonna be all right. But Bregman, everybody,
I'm sure hope everybody said, let's see Bregman's up to
twenty nine million, thirty million, thirty one. And how ironic
it is too. We had a caller yesterday called and
said I want to pay him thirty minute because there's
(12:17):
glove alone. Well then that was that was yesterday morning,
by about three o'clock yesterday afternoon. I'm sure you're saying,
I gonna play Bregman forty million dollars a year. So, uh,
he'll be all right though, but it's a he gets
to go out and you know, you you probably if
you're if you're whether it's the truth is, let's say, Bregman,
you want to get bregmanted back your d h Bregman
(12:37):
on on uh Friday Friday and let him go back
to third base because and then he'll probably go out
there and make three gems. Right. We make plays like Okay,
it's over. But the fellows will give him a little
bit of a hard time because you have to you know,
that's a kangaroo court. You have to do. Yeah, And
if he can't laugh at it, then he will. You're
not long for baseball if you can't, or any sport
if you can't laugh at just when it's that bad
(12:59):
that day. On a matter of fact, one in a
clutch game would have felt worse. Oh yeah, because because
you know what I'm saying, like it a single elimination game,
you had the hold off. It had been miserable four
in a game like I was like, do we know
you're better? It's just a comedy. It's like a comedy
of errors. And if you can't laugh at it, dude,
that's that's where the thick skin part of it comes
into it.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Now, at least lookly, look man, at least he bounced
it out too fielding airs, two throwing errors, you.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Know times so the only thing missing? No, Samson, Well,
you know when you at the point when it's eight
to one, you finished, quit quit watching, You're like, well,
when I come back, will there be two more airs?
He just happened to drop a couple of poff flash.
Yeah it all It's all you needed. Man. It was
like I said, it would not have mattered, dude, he
would have dropped a relay throw, yes, for sure if
it was just one of those days. So hang in there,
young fella. You're gonna be all right, better now than
(13:44):
in your twelfth the year would you wait for a
new contract? They say, oh, remember you led the league
in airs? Hey, pain just had to deal with that
all year. Yeah, it's just not four on one game,
but the going through that. He'll spend some time in
the off season staring at some tape why certain things happened.
He was all for fourth to plate.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Have a day, kid, but hey, he was recognized Minor
League Baseball Player of the Year for the Houston Nationals organization.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But it is. It is the all time classic. What
do you say, how'd well listen? Tough day in the field,
how'd you do with the plate? Well? I was over.
I was oh for four there too. Matter of fact,
the four airs made up for the lack of hitting.
I could do yesterday too, So that'd be all right.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
We've all been there, man, Hey, tough man in that loss,
the mini made park faithful gave Alex Bregman a standing
ovation when he was removed from the game. What could
possibly be his last regular season game at Minim Park.
Will that be his last regular season game, Let's discuss
the next
