Astros Lose Game 1 Of Wild Card, Game 2 Preview, Hunter Brown Looks To Save The Season

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Soulsby.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Okay, let's do this.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Sewan Salisbury, the USC Truths, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Ryan.

Speaker 4 (00:15):
Lima, go Lobo. This is the Sewan Salisbury Show.

Speaker 5 (00:22):
It was a Scooby snack, I'll tell you that. And
they were eating dog. You gotta let them eat though,
don't you. Well?

Speaker 6 (00:31):
Astros lost three to one, ninth in the rally comes
up short. It's not a ninth inning rally. If it
comes up short, it really is.

Speaker 5 (00:43):
It is.

Speaker 6 (00:44):
You don't finish the rally. Tell you you or die today.
You know what they say about today's game.

Speaker 5 (00:50):
Take one pitch at a time.

Speaker 6 (00:51):
It is a must win. Nice and tell me their
backs to the wall. Their back has been to the
wall for a lot of the season.

Speaker 5 (00:57):
There's nothing new.

Speaker 6 (00:59):
Yeah, how they handle it, we'll see on a Brown
getting his whatt. This got to be his first postseason start, correct,
I believe so. Isn't it his first postseason start? I
don't even I don't know if it's this. I don't
think it's his first postseason appearance out of the bullpen,
No first postseason start, because he was in the ball
He pitched out of the bullpen.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
Last year, didn't he Yeah, if I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
Postseason, but I don't think he's had a start, So
this is, uh, it's important, needless to say, that's a
captain obvious statement, but you know, I, uh what eight
guys left on base Y's today. And this is when
you get good pitching against you and you get him rolling.

(01:40):
To get to a guy like that, you got to
you gotta hit him early. You gotta score early because
once they get locked in and he didn't even pitch
his best game either, Scooble, I'm talking about, but was
solid bullpen pumping it up and not what ninety eight
ninety nine?

Speaker 5 (01:56):
Yeah, and just Darren, you had to hit it. We're
talking about before the show. I I don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
That's why three game series, dude, you lose one. The
desperation and now that kicks in and when they say
they're not desperate, of course you're desperate.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
The question I mean, desperate is one thing. Just don't
play desperate.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
But you're gonna have to play with the sense of
urgency or you're you're gonna it'll be a quick exit.
You'll be watching the playoffs from for the rest of
the time. And Jeremy Payne is regression is semi bothers him.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yeah, he was over three.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Uh with the hat trick, he did get a sackbun down,
but the strikeouts, he did have the hat trick.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Do you think he's do you think he's regressed a
little bit at the plate? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (02:36):
Yeah, Well in the field too, yeah well yeah, so
they didn't have Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
And he's he's such a talented guy.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
He just and it felt like early in the season
and as we roll through the you know, the mid
mid point of season, his plate discipline was so much better. Right,
I would never there's a few guys I'd never throw
a strike to.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
He's one of them.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
He's one of them strike and quite frankly, and although
he's a great bad ball hitter, he'll chase it. I
wouldn't throw out to be a strike either. You know,
he's so good, right, you throw it three and you
say we'll throw it off the plate, Well, the guy
will go up and tomahawk it from the top of
the strike zone. But there's just certain guys you just
don't throw strikes too. Yeah, Jake Myers had bad at

(03:16):
bats as well. Ritio Dubon bad at bats as well. Obviously,
Jeremy Penny over three. Look, I understand that school ball
is going to be the cy young and he was
nasty and your playable pitches, you can you're gonna you're
gonna get some batter, but you're gonna look ugly on
some of the bats. But you still can't. You look
ugly all the way up and down. But your plate
discipline still has to be there. And there were balls

(03:38):
that they were swinging out, there were change ups and
weren't even close to the zone that they were fanning at.
I'll say this, I think it's more important when you're
facing a good pitcher to have plate discipline and selective Yeah,
you can't, I know, there's a dead I mean, you
want to be aggressive, but you can't hack it stuff
out of the strike zone because that's exactly what you
want to do to a guy like that. Up the
pitch count early, have good long at bats, stay alive,

(03:59):
found it off, making him throw you the pitch you
want to hit because guys like that thrive on you
making swings out of the strike zone. And aggressiveness is there.
There is a fine line between aggressive and desperation to
play right. Being aggressive is good as long as being

(04:19):
a great it's like anything else you're working. When football,
we call it don't be hurried, but be urgent. There
is a big difference between playing hurried. I'm just speaking
of the position I played at quarterback. I rarely would
you have a I don't ever tell my quarterbacks to
hey man, you got to play in a hurry.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
It's just a hurry. Doesn't that sound desperate to you?

Speaker 7 (04:38):
Now?

Speaker 6 (04:39):
With you play with urgency, that's that's the word, no
question about yes, And it's an urgency keeps your rhythm,
keeps you going.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
But it's the same thing. Your hurry is not good urgency.

Speaker 6 (04:52):
In baseball playing, you know, being patient it's I mean,
aggressiveness is important, but along with being aggressive, you've got
to have be judicious and being patient at the plate
because good pitchers thrive on you because they're so good,
thrive on you chasing their stuff as opposed to you
waiting for them to throw strike and you may only

(05:13):
get one. That's the place you want to hit it.
Hence why you got to be patient. When that balls
pitched to where you want to hit it, you got
to take advantage of it because those guys don't miss
very often no, and we.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
Knew that, even Wish from where you knew.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
The trouble going into a game like this is when
you get a lefty that's that good, even at eighty
to eighty five percent of their best, they're pretty tough
to hit. Yeah, And schoobl was damn good yesterday. Six innings,
four hits, no runs, six k's.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
One walk.

Speaker 6 (05:43):
And I can argue that that that he's even better
than that. He worked quick, he was efficient. I think
at one point he had seen fifteen hitter at fifteen
of the Astros hitters, and he had thrown fourteen strike
one's first strike one. Now he's advantaged, Schooble. Yeah, and

(06:03):
when you're that good, it's like it almost feels like
it's a two for one, like you're getting you're doubling down.
It's it's almost like a second strike because he gets
out in front. Now he can waste a pitch somewhere,
and he knows if you're undisciplined and you're gonna chase
at times, especially when you're in a desperation mode. So
I'm with you, and he was not. And he worked
you said efficient, and worked with urgency and in rhythm,

(06:25):
there's no and he's still he's still there's still another
level to his game than you saw yesterday. Seventy three
percent strike rate him for school yesterday sixty one percent
for from er Valdez. And you know how we talk
about being patient at other positions and in the in
the when you're at the plate, it's a pitcher also
to be able to the efficiency of you know, making

(06:48):
good swings at the plate, but the efficiency of getting
ahead in the count. And like you said, when you
get that many first pitch strikes and you're putting the
ball around the plate, but throwing your pitch still around
the plate and not giving him, not putting it on
a te guys like that, or he's just filthy and
you can't would we Hey, with the final score end
up three to one, and we said first one to

(07:10):
four yesterday probably wins a game.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
And nobody got to four.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
But when you score one run, no matter how how
good your pitching staff is, it's gonna be hard to win. Yeah,
they left like you said, they left on on base eight.
They were two for seven with runners in scoring position.
They had a chance at the end, just like the
Astros always do. They usually fight a way to win.
Hang in there and man and Jason Hayward hits one
on the screws right at Towrkle Center. First look, that's

(07:35):
baseball three feet higher. And it's probably a tie game.
Who knows, might even kick around in the corner. They
could try to win, win that thing or at least
get into extra innings. But I think the uh disappointing
part for me in that game yesterday is once school
comes out of the game, you got to take advantage
of the guys in the bullpen for the Tigers. The
dude Vest Will Vest came in and showed you every

(07:58):
fu fastball you can think of. The dude threw ninety
eight percent fastballs. I mean, just attacking the zone, attack
in the zone, attack in the zone. And then he
dropped off a change up and then he'd attacked the
zone again. And I think al two by was like
strike one, strike two, strike truth, see you later, like
they they and he worked quick, he worked efficient, and.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
He mowed them down. Yeah he was.

Speaker 6 (08:22):
He threw six balls. He threw twenty four total pitches.
Six of them were balls. He has a vested interest
in the outcome he did. And and you know, what
and aj Hinch is the manager and they they're hinching
closer to the division ruw eliminating the Astros. Yeah, I
had a hinch that it was gonna be tough to
hit Scooble. He was really good, man. He went Scooba
diving yesterday that he dove right into the plate, strikes up.

(08:46):
It's a really nice thing when you could run a
guy out there and you think, if he pitches average,
we're in the game. If he pitches good, we got
a real shot to win it. If he pitches like
who he is, like Roger Clemens pitching against John Cruck's
White Sox one day.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
And I told you this.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
With Walt Renniac, the old Boston hitting coach and was
a long time uh from the Charlie Lowe school of hitting.
You know, the old pick the well, those guys were
the first one hand off the bat, picked the front
foot up for rhythm. When Walt Rennie act Charlie Lowe
about George Brett back in the day, Charlie law was
George Brett's hitting instructor. And that's when that stuff started
right one hand off the bat finished, you know, the

(09:26):
a Rod way, all that way and they rolled through it. Well, Crocker,
and I've told you this Crucker went the dug out
there getting ready to play Clements when he's in Boston
and during the batting practice they're kind of floating around
Walt Rennie Aakins sitting in the dugout hitting instruck and
cruck tells the great story and he said, Hey, Walter,
because wal he's that Boston guy, Rennie Ackt. He goes, hey, Walter,

(09:48):
how are we going to do today? Kracker? We got
we got no f and shot. What are you talking about? Well,
it's it's Clemens. They you know, he was talking about it.
He throws it up there around the hunt and then
he throws that split a you got no shot today?
So we got no shot? Nope, got no shot today, Kruka,
And he said, I asked, I said, well what happened?
He goes, we had no fing shot. And when you

(10:11):
face a guy like that, if they're on it's an
advantage pitcher. Now today, I mean it falls on a
guy who's getting his first postseason start, who's been fantastic
the rest of you. But if you were ever in
all hands on deck, be prepared to get some in.
If it doesn't work early, let's hope Hunter Brown pitches
like he has the second half of the season.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
Yeah, he's They're going to have to have it taking
one pitch at a time. Tonight.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
We're not playing go go Astros today. Either it didn't work,
We're done. Never does No, it does. That song sucks.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
It's no football time in Houston. I can tell you that.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
But you keep thank goodness, but you keep trying to
crowbar it in. It's a bad crow bar.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
It is a bad Yeah, we got to retire it.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Yeah, and you know what, everything that you thought the
weaknesses reared their head yesterday.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
And I was talking to a couple of my buddies
yesterday and would you have thought when we came out
of spring training. I said, you know, the week when
I say weakness, I don't use it that this is
a weak team. It's just that if there is something
that struggled this year at times, runners and scoring, but no,
not a lot of times. Still a tribute how they
overcame it. But at this point in time, nobody cares
what they did in the regularly, didn't care about they
do in the postseason, because there's no excuses you're in it,

(11:23):
so you say, let's go and you prove that you
can win with some of your stars not playing. So
you got to go. You got to do your thing
is that it boards. It reared its head and they
did make a value effort to cut. That's who the
Astros are resilient. But the problem is you can't. If
I told you in spring training the weakness of the
team's going to be the batting order, at times, you

(11:44):
would have looked at me like I was nuts.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
I mean when you look it on paper and go
up and down the line, if you're like what yeah, yeah,
oh no. If it's close, Astros win, you know what?
Shock here? Kyle Tucker in the postseason he was zero
for four yesterday. Kyle Tucker's season performances have been subpar
at best, but I still I trust the hell out

(12:06):
of him.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
But this is the time. It's like quarterbacks.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
You can have throw for five thousand yards in a
season and be the MVP, but you don't win in
the postseason, don't dominate posting.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
What do we say?

Speaker 6 (12:16):
That's how we judge them, Josh Allen, So we judge
them it always Yep, there's a long list of Dak
Prescott and and there's Lamar Jackson. They will continue to roll.
Did Garoppolo got him there? At when point? Those guys
Derek Carr, there's a group of fifteen of them that
get to a point you say, well, what's the next level?
And that's how quarterbacks are judged, whether you like it

(12:38):
or not. And it's the same way how superstar players
are judging. Oh, man, you're a great regular season guy.
And then then you got to say, well, are you
a great postseason guy? And when all said and done, Oh,
there'll be plenty of guys that have great careers that
don't have a ring to show for it. Kyle Tucker does.
But that's how we judge performance. And this a numbers game.

(12:59):
We always make its about numbers, and right now, wins
is the number one number. But if you're a player,
when you go in and get money, you want to
be able to point to that. Jordan goes in to negotiate,
he can always say, hey, guy comes out, he's hurt,
Boom bangs out two hits yesterday. He just is the
postseason is made for him. Yeah, And that's how we
judge players. Right now, all the great things Jordan has

(13:20):
done in his regular seam career. What do we still
talk about how dominant he is in the postseason, talk
about his postseason numbers always. That's why you have to
have him in the lineup. And they can't even if
they got through this series, they can't win a long
series hitting like this on a regular basis.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
And the stars got to perform. Yeah, and Jerem mcpain's
got to be better. Yeah, it has to be better.
They have to have him swinging it better. All right.

Speaker 6 (13:41):
We got a lot to dig into with these Houston Astros.
They are on the brink of elimination. They get back
after it. This afternoon, one thirty two is the first pitch.
It's the Noon on Deck show right here on seven
on your home for Astros baseball from ber Valdez was
not good on the mound yesterday. How did he feel
about his performance? We'll hear the audio and discuss the

Speaker 6 (15:12):
It's Kobe Stephens dot Com, Kobe Stevens Golf Apparel. The
Shawn Salisbury Show with Sean Salisbury and Brian Lima.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
On Sports Talk seven nineties.

Speaker 6 (15:29):
Well, Framer Valdez was not good yesterday. Well four and
a third, seven hits, three earned runs, two walks, three k's,
seventy eight pitches, only forty eight strikes. That's a little
over sixty one percent strike percentage.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
He just wasn't good.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
Hector NAIs, Brian King, Renel Blanco, Caleb Ferguson, Josh had
all through yesterday. They went through six different arms to
get through nine innings. Josh had. You know, they're down
three to one. Excuse me, they're down three to oh.
Uh and you bring in Josh hater he throws fifteen pitches.
I understand the mindset there. You want to keep it

(16:11):
at a three oh deficit. I just uh, I don't.
I didn't agree with it. I mean going to yeah,
going to that point. Uh, I know, the last time
he had work. Let's see, they put a lot of
faith in him. Just a couple of days ago Friday,

(16:33):
so and what's what was yesterday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Sunday, Monday,
three days off? That should be that he should be rested,
not rusty, right right, I get it, I get it.
You bring in your closer to keep it at a
three oh deficit. I just would have liked to.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
I don't know. I mean, it's probably what you're doing.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
What's what you're doing is trying to and I get
where you're going. You're trying to piece it together and
find reasons. Yeah, and probably, and the truth is that's
probably a minor one.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
It is. Yeah, Now I'm just microman r.

Speaker 7 (17:04):
I'm just.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
That's a better word.

Speaker 6 (17:07):
But you can't if you well you're not scoring one
run against that guy against the Tigers, but that if
you don't get to him, like we said earlier, they're
gonna mow you down. And I don't think people should
take the Tigers lightly throughout this entire playoff run. Now
they're playing confident. They actually came in here and believed that
not only were they gonna win, that the Astros were

(17:28):
the underdog. That's how they feel and whenever Scooba or
a guy like that takes the mound, and even though
Fromber is the other pitcher, I get why they felt like, hell,
we're the favorite in this series. We're gonna we're on
the road, but we're jumping out. We got our game,
We're gonna be one.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
Now, we saw this movie with the Astros last years
they needed was two wins to move on or one
win to move on with two games to go in
the playoffs and couldn't do it. Now the question is
can the Detroit Tigers sell one more up and or
can they Now the Astros find a way to win
two in two days, and it will not be easy.

(18:05):
Fromber Valdez, his last four playoffs starts Detroit yesterday. Obviously,
I read his line. Four and a third three earned runs,
seven hits, two walks, three k's last year versus Texas
five innings, five earned runs, three hits, two walks six
k's also against Texas in that same series two and

(18:26):
two thirds, four earned seven hits, a walk in six ks.
Versus Minnesota four and a third five earned seven hits,
three walks, five k's. Basically, you're saying he struggled in
a postseason. Yes, he has not been good in his
last four starts. Joe Spot spoke about Fromer's outing. This

(18:47):
is what the skipper had to say about Fromber on
the mound.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
You know what, I thought his stuff overall was good,
just you know, he's he's sinker was staying kind of
up in the zone a bit, and they they you know,
they got some pretty good swings on on on those pitches.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
You know, he he battled through five. He gave us
a shot there.

Speaker 8 (19:13):
But I just thought that you know, usually when you
see that sinker getting away from ridyes, and you start
seeing ground balls and the swinging miss own curveballs, that's
a sign of where Framburg stands that day.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
But I give him, I give it to him. He battled.

Speaker 8 (19:27):
He gave us five innings to give us a chance
to win.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
He threw four and a third innings, so didn't actually
give five. But excuse me, he just did that. At
the end of the day, he just didn't pitch. Well,
you gotta be better. It's the playoffs. Your ace has
gotta be well. You gotta be an ace. Yeah, Unfortunately,
you just don't have time to have a bad one
in a short series and got time to believe and
that what you're don't and that wasn't the guy we've
seen second half of the season, really three quarters of

(19:54):
the season or whatever.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
His stuff just didn't look sharp. His off speed didn't
look sharp.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
And and the sinker state everything was elevated everything, and
they barreled, barreled and barreled. Well, when you elevate sinkers, yeah,
that's a problem. And that automatically tells you he's a
sinker ball ground ball pitcher. If his best pitch is up,
I'd tell you he's not having his day. I think
Joe's body alluded to that. And it's the opposite. If

(20:21):
you're a fastball pitcher and you're that ball's jumping around
and it feels like it's one hundred and three miles
an hour, even if it's ninety four, then you know
you're on. Yeah, And depending on who the picture and
what the strength of the pitches they fromber Listen, when
you score one run and your starting pitcher can't get
to five, and he's the ace of your staff, the
chances are considering that you're gonna face their best, no

(20:44):
matter who it is. In the postseason, you're gonna have
a hard time getting through it. There're not gonna be
a whole lot of one zero games in the postseason. Right,
There's a couple of pitchers in postseason capable of that,
and we got a couple of them on here, but
cancel each other out. Pitcher pitched better, their bats were
more clutch, pretty simple. Yeah, and it only took three

(21:05):
runs to win this game. Yep, they made they made
it happen in that second inning they put up runs
and then school will shut him down. And when your
ace and farmer Valdez is not very good, and then
you got to go to the bullpen. Hey, Renelle Blanco
was spectacular. Outside of the three walks, he was really
damn good. Listen, I can make the case considering all
the circumstances. You know, Fromer had more wins. You can

(21:28):
say that there's been pitching, that's there's Kokuchi's been off
the charts the second half. I can actually say on
this team, we know how good some of the bad
the hitting order can be. I don't with all the
injuries early on, well did lasted the whole season and
Kyle Tucker going out and in truth, when when Hunter
Brown and Fromber Early in the season, we were wondering

(21:49):
to question is mental toughness and if Hunter Brown could
throw a strike and get people out and use the
inside of the plate, all those things that have been
well documented on this show.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
I I don't want to lose my train of thought here,
but gosh, what what we're saying Reco Yeah Blanco, thank you.
I was thinking about Hunter Brown and him rolling back
into it. Renel Blanco is the team most valuable player?

Speaker 5 (22:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (22:16):
Why there may be more wins for Frombert because when
the circumstances needed a guy to rise up, and at
that point time he was the ace of the staff
and deserved to be on the All Star team. He
was at his best as well, at his very best
this year when they were at their worst. He kept

(22:39):
him afloat for me, he just did. I can make
the argument. God, I'm including everyday players they play. Did
that guy is the MVP of this baseball team?

Speaker 7 (22:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (22:47):
Look what he did in the beginning of the season.
That's my point.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
First, when they were twelve and twenty four, he was
the only he was a big reason why they had
twelve wins. Yeah, I mean at least, you know, obviously
not pitching every game, but yeah, I can make the argument.
And the guy has I've now heard one peep out
of him about should he be starting, just keeps doing
a job and did it again. Renelle Blanco, I can
make Casees the most valuable player on this team this
year considering all the circumstances. Yeah, I really can't. Yeah

(23:11):
you can, because he's been that good. He was a
guy that she relied on early in the season. He
was a stop gap when they were on the verge
getting swept or coming off of a sweeping through a
no hitter. I mean, you look at everything that he's done.
And then again yesterday two innings saved the bullpen a bit.
Outside of the three walks, he had four strikeouts and
got his job done, and he kept him afloat when

(23:32):
and he was supposed to be a thirty year old
stop gap kind of a journey, how is he going
to be? He became the ace of the staff at
least until Fromberg got rolling a hunter run, and he
really was. And at that time, go from the first guy,
it'd be hard. You're the guy carrying him through. And
then all of a sudden, the three front line pitchers
take care of their business and you don't get a
start in the postseason. Yeah, at least the first three games.

(23:55):
No kudos to him, man, but they're gonna have to hit.
If they don't hit the day, they'll lose again in
the series, will be over.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
Alex Bregman spoke about the approach for the offense yesterday
and how good school bol was. They had out their opportunities,
but they didn't take advantage of it. We'll discuss the
next seven one, three, two, two, five, seven. Ninety is
the number to join as we roll along right here
on The Seawan Salisbury Show. The Seawn Salisbury Show continued, Uh,

(24:21):
there's there's there, there's f m a Friday. Yeah there is, Yeah,
there definitely is. Yeah funk. Yeah, don't fake the funk Friday?
Yeah that would you fake the funk on a nasty dunk?

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Yeah? Who is that chocolate? I think I think that's no,
I think that's shack Fu. At one time that tu
said don't fake the funk on a nasty ass dunk.
That's right, yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
Yeah, and then he then he goes with the Q
you've been he'll dunk on your yank the rim down,
pull the backboard down, a.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
Que dog on you that's that's FO. That's just the
shack diesel. Right, So what is it?

Speaker 6 (24:52):
What's what is what's the acronym fm A Yes, okay,
that's just an inside thing right right here.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
I don't think we don't evething. Trip Ley knows about it.
He doesn't know. Well, he'll be in Cahotson, oh for sure. Yeah.
But you're you're you're deciding on Teano and Western. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
I mean, if it's a tug of war, that that
dog on, you know, scar for handkerchief whatever, you just
sitting right in the middle. Hard hard to decide which
one right, depending on the week, I think, right, yeah, yeah,
you know you talk about tug and handkerchief. It's like
Deshaun Watson, you know, with his towel and tug dy
Yeah what ug?

Speaker 5 (25:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (25:34):
Seven five seven ninety Uh skid out to the phone line.
See how the Astros fans are feeling after the loss
to the Tigers yesterday.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
We'll start with Roger, Roger, what's happening?

Speaker 6 (25:45):
Good morning guys.

Speaker 9 (25:46):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (25:46):
Three things got to take away from this game. First
of all, I think, uh, I think as far as
getting out coach. I think he's over coaching.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
And there's such a term.

Speaker 10 (25:59):
Uh, he could have left blocko and everything. He would
have probably finished out that game. Uh, he was doing fine.
I just think that he was just overreacting to the
moment and the first playoff game as a coach. And
I just think he was just really overreacting. And once again,
I've called on this on your show many of times,
and it's been it's been the offense that's gonna be

(26:20):
the Achilles Hill.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
That's what. We've had.

Speaker 10 (26:22):
Plenty of runners on the base paths. We have plenty
of opportunities to get guys you know, and uh, you know,
and score some runs. But it's just that HiT's never
never came. It hasn't been coming frequently throughout the year.
And I just think that's gonna be what's gonna kill us.

Speaker 11 (26:37):
In the end.

Speaker 9 (26:38):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (26:39):
Also, you know when when Dubon gets on base every
now and then and you start rubbing his belly, that's
that hunger.

Speaker 12 (26:46):
It's that hunger.

Speaker 7 (26:47):
He's some guys going.

Speaker 10 (26:48):
We've got that hunger. Some it's hard to turn it
on eight years in a row, man, and I get
that fire going. Man, I'm sure that's it's it's not
something that that a lot of players had in them.
So you know, give these guys, uh, you know break.
You know, these guys have been doing it forever, you know,
eight years in a row. I just some of these

(27:10):
some of the candles might be.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
Might be burning out. Man.

Speaker 10 (27:12):
I just I just think to go ahead.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Roger, let me.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
I just want to ask you real quick, because we
we kind of said the same thing last year. Ah,
the fires, you know, maybe not there. They're tired of
playing such long seasons. Is that really something we want
to lean on this year? I feel like this year
is just completely And I'm not saying you're leaning on it,
but I'm just saying because you brought it up, and
you're not the only one. I get it. Eight years

(27:37):
in a row it's a long time to continue to win.
But I feel like this year is just completely different.
They've been backs quote unquote backs against the wall the
whole year, and they also have a rookie manager trying
to impress and Roger real quick and there's a good
debate and good a good banter. But I'm just going
drawn on players I've been around in the locker room,
no matter how tired you get, hang on a second.

(27:57):
No matter how tired you get, no matter what, thank you,
no matter how tired you get, that you that you
will come postseason.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
There's a new energy. You can't be tired at this
time of year. It can't. It never got old. Now.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
I've never been a part of a team that went
to eight AFC title games in a row. And I
know it is a long grind, but there's almost you
just got to you have to gather in. And I'm
not gonna lean on that. I think they got beat
by a better team yesterday. In that game. You buy
a better pitcher. So I I'll tell you one thing.
My head will explode if if this season ends today

(28:34):
and we hear on Twitter or from anybody in the organization,
hey man, what a bummer. Yeah, but we just played
that we're tired, played a lot of baseball. When it
comes to championship brings, you ain't got time to be tired.
So if the candles burnt out, then they're not. Then
then we shouldn't even be excited about the next series
because if it's if, if that's their approach, that it's
okay because we've been doing this a long time. This

(28:55):
is just we're on uh what's the word, not not
borrowed time, but we are on uh on on somebody
else's dollar, you know what I'm saying. Then we're just
this it's a bonus. I've never looked at it like that.
I just think it's a struggle of a season. But
what a rewarding season if they can continue. They just
got they got a pitcher handed them their ass at
the plate yesterday, So I don't I'm not going to

(29:17):
go that they're tired.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
I'm just not going to play that game.

Speaker 7 (29:20):
No, not me either.

Speaker 10 (29:22):
The bottom of the DNA. They had to put the
batch to the ball when they have plenty of chats
to do so with guys that scored position. And that's
been the throughout the whole year. It's been the Achilles Hill.
And I would have never one last thing. I will
have never ever taken I don't care how bad his
rules are.

Speaker 7 (29:38):
I'm not taking that bat out of the lineup. I
don't care.

Speaker 10 (29:40):
I'm just not going to do it.

Speaker 13 (29:42):
So that's another thing.

Speaker 10 (29:43):
That I was I know this one that was it
fellas hopefully we were in this game and take care
of the series, because like I said I did not
want to see this team.

Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, all right, appreciate it. Roger.

Speaker 6 (29:52):
That's a great call when you said that earlier this week, Roger,
thank you. But you didn't want to play because of
that pitching staff and A. J. Hinch is a good manager.
I'll tell you that. Yeah, have we thought, you know,
we try to pigeon. I mean we try to square
peg round hole. In truth, I'm talking about him just
in twenty twenty four. This is who they are. Yeah,
I mean there's enough. There's enough evidence in one hundred

(30:13):
and sixty one hundred and sixty well that that was
game one sixty two because the other one, but rearly
in one hundred and sixty three games, this is who
they've been. Some good, some bad, a bunch in between,
fight and scratch to get there, be resilient, lose some.
This is who they are this year. Maybe not next year,
not last year. Who they are this year is a

(30:34):
team that is ridiculously inconsistent with runners in scoring position.
When they're good, there's nobody better. And when they're not
selective at the plate and you're not getting your ace
to throw, they can be beat by a lot of teams.
So you just hope that who they are gives you
enough of who they are this year on the non
twelve and twenty four side as opposed to the twelve

(30:54):
and twenty four side, we can refight, scratch, do it everyone.
This is who twenty twenty four hours extros are.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Now.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
If this is who they are in the second half,
they'll win two. If this isn't who they are in
the second half and it's the first ninety days or
seventy five days of the season, guess what. The Houston
Astros will be eliminated and will not go on a
division and they'll get an early season, an early start
to their golf and next year's batting practice.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
That's pretty simple. And so this is who they are.

Speaker 6 (31:24):
We try to keep that this is not a one
hundred win team this year, and this team wasn't wasn't
good enough to win one hundred games this year. I
love their resilience and I still believe they can win two.
But if they score one run today, they will lose.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
Again.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
Regardless of Hunter Brown conthrow three here, they'll find that
they will lose if they score one run. It's incumbent
upon the hitting order to be selective and make and
get started quickly in this game, and then we go
to Game three heavy advantage. In my opinion, Astros with
Kakuchi on the mount exactly, That's how I feel. And
if they if they flound around four or five innings today,
you can't keep flirting with that. You'll end up it'll

(31:56):
be their earliest exit in a long time, in a
really long time.

Speaker 14 (31:59):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
Discuss guys like Kyle Tzucker and Jeremy Penny. They got
to be better at the plate seven one, three, two,
two five seven. I will also continue to take your cast.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Let the celebration start.

Speaker 6 (33:42):
War Sean Salisbury to Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
We'll start with Steve. What's happening Steve? Good morning, Hey guys.

Speaker 7 (33:51):
How you doing?

Speaker 15 (33:53):
Sean? You mentioned the word Charlie loud And I don't
know if many people know about Charlie Lowd. Your sports
guys probably do. I know there's a thing called on
a namely where there's a Charlie Allow is the best,
but there's sometimes there's it doesn't work, and it didn't
work for somebody that I knew named Clint Hurt. Will
you probably know that name. But anyways, the attitude of

(34:16):
I'm out of the you know, I'm sure quarterback. I'm
not going to cut down Joe a Spada, but for
future events, I gamble a little bit, I know, like
a certain way. Be like if you're betting five dollars
and they you lose the next that typically is ten dollars. No,
it should be it should be fifteen because you play

(34:38):
to win and then you know I'm out of a shot.
There's a time to play and there's a time to win.
So my attitude is well, and I didn't watch this.
I went to you know, I went to sleep thinking,
now we lost this one. You know, we're going to
give it to him because that guy is a great picture.
But if we win that game, we win the series

(34:59):
and should be Why do you rely on a six
and seven when we can have a five win for
where you was a run? That's that's my attitude. I
just play to win because then here's the reason why
if you play the tie, which is man, you know,
get bought them over, get a single tie. The odds
are they win in the X innings because they got
that advantage of the second you know, the runner at second,

(35:21):
and we have difficulty pulling the tie from second to third.
You know, they're better at that, and we lose more
of those things. So if we're playing to tie, we're
going to lose anyway. So play to win and go
with it. If he strikes out and I know he
stuck out, but he said when he struck out again,
My god, he struck out against that guy. So anyways,
all hang up and listen.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
Appreciate it, Steve.

Speaker 6 (35:43):
Yeah, it's uh when you look at you know, with
runners in the scoring position. They even had Jeremy Paene
to drop down a bunt at one point, sack bunt
to move the runners over to second and third, and
they still couldn't seem to manufacture outside of one run.

Speaker 7 (35:56):
You know.

Speaker 6 (35:57):
It's it's like you said, Sean, this offensively at times
just average. Well, listen, the inconsistency is who they've been
this year. They've been fantastic to get to this point
and that they were finished up a little short of

(36:18):
being fantastic to put him in that bind in the
first place. And it's been a listen this season. It's
not they got they win today and now everybody's momentum
and confidence will shift back to the ass is away.
Kakuchi's pitched so and Hunter Brown gives you a great chance.
But I don't know why we'd expect. Did we expect
that they were going to go through all this postseason

(36:40):
and just rake and be dominant. That hasn't been who
they've been all year long at times, but at times
they'se also looked like a team that didn't belong in
the playoffs. So it's I mean, it is a Listen,
why should this shock? As matter of fact, you should
love it. They seem to thrive when they're putting these
positions a lot of times this year, so it's almost
as if they're down one that some kind of oap

(37:02):
kicks in and let's go. And just so Steve, remember
we don't put a guy on second base and extra
innings in the postseason.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
Now, thank god, got to earn it. Yep, it should
be like that all year long.

Speaker 6 (37:11):
But yeah, get Steve's point, but aggress is one thing,
but you still have to work the count and have
better quality of That's Danon Brown's been saying it all
year long, Yes, is we've got to be selective and
we have to have quality at bats and make quality pitches.
And they didn't get enough of those either way. Yesterday
they didn't. Kyle Tucker and Jeremy Penney were zero for
seven combined. Al Tuove gets a hit fromer gets I mean,

(37:35):
Jordan gets a couple.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
Yep. They just that's right, that's this is a team
that's listened.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
Everything's been as exhausted their energy this year. Not energy
that they can't go on the next one, but they've
had to They've had to empty the bucket on energy
all year long, and now they're gonna have to do
it again. Yeah, because you get down in this game
and it's fifth, sixth inning, and you get to and
then then you start to then the pressure starts to

(38:02):
choke you out. Yeah, because you know what the result is,
you go home. Yeah, And elimination games are fun when
you're playing well, they're really really stressful when you're not.
And then those of us who've been in those types
of see, it's like which teams showing up right and
we don't know yet. No, it's it's not what I
expect to do. I expect them to show up right.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
Pressure makes diamonds. It's getting the seven o'clock hour. God,
diamonds are forever, they are. Diamonds are forever.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
Yeah, yeah, no, you know what that is? What's that?

Speaker 6 (38:37):
Diamonds are forever? You watch Bond, James Bond, no movie,
James Bond movie. Diamonds are forever?

Speaker 5 (38:43):
Are they? Sean James Shawn. Let's get to the seven o'clock.

Speaker 6 (38:51):
Yeah, seven one, three five seven ninety is the number
to join. We'll continue to talk about this Astros lost
and will also here from fromer Valdez. He spoke about
his rough outing last night. He did not paint corners,
but I know somebody who can paint corners. Yeah, sort
of Pro could paint corners. They can paint everywhere. Have
you ever just been sitting in your crisip and looked

(39:12):
at your wall or looked at your paint job. I said,
that's got to get better. I'm going to di I Wyatt.
And then you go buy paint. You're not really sure
if you like the paint, because sort of Pro does
that too. They'll help you choose the paint based on
what makes you know Furniture pop all that. They're experts
in the field, as they should be. But if you're
look at say oh yeah, i'm a diy grab go
go to run over to Lows get your paint or

(39:32):
wherever it is. You go buy your paint and the
next thing you know, old Jud's a millionaire that paint
sitting in your garage for a long time. Well, if
you're a di wire and you say I ain't got
time to bleed. I got to get this painted. We're
selling it, I want it to look great, or we're
staying in it. My business, my home interior ex to
your hell. It's expensive to have a home or a
business and to run one. Why wouldn't you make it
look good and presentable? And if you just want to

(39:54):
change the fallse seasons and a different color. Because it's
like a haircut, right, get a haircut, you feel fresh.
She's ready to go stay with the paint shop, but
let the best on the planet do it.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
She freeze you up to do other things.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
Sean Salisbury, the NFL, the USC Truth, longtime friend shown Salisbury.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
Ryan Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sean sALS Very Show.

Speaker 6 (41:11):
Before we get out to the phone lines at seven one, three, two,
two five seven and he got a couple of guys
that want to get in on this Astros discussion fromer
Valdez was not good yesterday.

Speaker 16 (41:21):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (41:21):
He was asked in the post game did anything make
him feel uncomfortable on the mount?

Speaker 9 (41:28):
No?

Speaker 6 (41:28):
No, they so you know, sometimes you felt really really
good and then you go out there and.

Speaker 5 (41:32):
You know, get a result that you really weren't expecting. So,
you know, just waiting for the next game.

Speaker 6 (41:37):
M Well says he feels felt really really good. He
did not pitch really really good. Four and a third,
seven hits, three earned runs, three k's, two walks, UH
strike percentage around sixty one percent.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
He just wasn't good flat.

Speaker 6 (41:48):
Out even if he was great, and gave up you know,
and and they still only scored one run, it would
have been a moot point yep. I mean if you
give up three and they have one to you the team.
Here's what I do know about statistics. The team that
scores the most runs of the time wins.

Speaker 5 (42:10):
Yeah. Yeah, Tigers scored more runs than the astros estray
and they won.

Speaker 6 (42:14):
There's only one time where if you score more runs
than the other team you don't win.

Speaker 5 (42:20):
When's that when the game is delayed before they get
the five in? True? You feel me?

Speaker 6 (42:26):
That's the only time other than that, every single time,
if you score more runs than your opponent, you win.

Speaker 5 (42:33):
Correct.

Speaker 6 (42:33):
Now that was when you did that deep dive. How
long did that take you to find that information? You know,
just knowing the guy that I am and all the
preparation I have, it's just right off the top of
the dome.

Speaker 5 (42:41):
Yeah, I mean the years of.

Speaker 6 (42:44):
Like comparing numbers, right, correct, Yeah, I mean years of it,
a lot of analytics, yeah, just constantly looking at the
metrics and saying, okay, listen, a lot of lonely nights
in the lab. And when you go say let me,
let me look this up, and you go through the
box scores over like a decade.

Speaker 5 (42:57):
Let's just go a decade.

Speaker 6 (42:58):
Yeah, one hundred and sixty two games times thirty teams. Yeah,
for a decade. That's a lot of that's a lot
of research. And you came up with one common thread.
The team that scores the most runs huh wins one
hundred percent of the time unless the game was delayed yep,
or postponed or canceled because of weather.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
Right.

Speaker 6 (43:19):
Yeah, but then when it's replayed under one hundred and
sixty two game umbrella, then it really does.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
It's one hundred percent of the time. Forty eight, six
hundred games in a decade. And what did you figure out?

Speaker 6 (43:31):
If you score more runs than your opponent, you win
one hundred percent of the time.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
Have you thought about being a capologist? Yeah? In front offices?
Doesn't interest me?

Speaker 6 (43:41):
Really really, I mean you bring like if I'm interviewing
you walk as Hey Brian, good to see you, and
I'm the owner of the franchise. I'm looking for a
GM apologist. Hey Brian, Uh okay, what qualifies you? We're
an analytics and we do both were analytics and feel here,
but what qualifies you to be the GM? I mean,
got any maybe something you've done to prepare for this interview.

(44:01):
You wrote down stuff about what we like. You got

could ask you fifty questions and when you lead off
with hey, look, when I come from a middle class family.

Speaker 5 (44:33):
A middle class I mean it's not the dollar.

Speaker 6 (44:35):

Yeah?

You want the truth? You can't the truth.

Speaker 6 (45:10):
So yeah, it's tell me the research you've done that
qualifies you for this job.

Thank you.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
It did last long, but I got all the answers
I need. There you go, seven seven ninety is the
number to join. Chris, you're up first. Good morning.

Speaker 18 (46:14):
Yeah, good morning, gentlemen.

Speaker 10 (46:16):
Some positives from yesterday might take them.

Speaker 6 (46:19):
Uh, tripley. Can you tell Chris we're having a little
bit of issues. Chris, Hey, Chris, Hey, Chris, I'm gonna
have to put you on hohole. We got a little
connection issue on your end. Uh, let's get out to Gary, Gary.

Speaker 5 (46:29):
Good morning, Ohn, guys, love your show. Thank you.

Speaker 13 (46:32):
I'm a couple of just quick comments. So last night
game of inch is this game? I mean one style
ball goes two inches one side breaking his home run
two inches higher. It's a different game. Still like a
gut punch to me, be Chase. I really feel like
we could have won this game. But this team is
a team that is best when it's back.

Speaker 12 (46:52):
Against the ball.

Speaker 13 (46:53):
As we've seen earlier this season, they you know, six wins,
come back there, back against all the people were telling
them you're done against the wall. We don't score a
lot of clutch runs. I've watched every game this season.
We scored a lot of runs with two outs though,
that's are back against the wall. We're going to see
the best team today. I believe, I do believe we're
gonna win this series. And I feel terrible yesterday. That's

(47:13):
everybody woke up this morning. I'm gonna hang up, guys
and listen to you talk.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
Thank you guys, Thank you Gary Sean. When did I
ask you not to tell me? And Gary? I get Gary.
I like Gary's enthusiasm. Uh.

Speaker 6 (47:25):
The problem is every game's faced with ifs, if a
ball is higher, if a ball wasn't caught, if the
pitch was But Gary's right, I mean, you take a
blink in three or four plays and you win the game.
But that's usually the case in a lot of games, right,
three or four pitches, three or four you know, plays
in the in the.

Speaker 5 (47:39):
Field, three or four at bats.

Speaker 6 (47:41):
That was a lot of But their back's been against
the wall all the time, the entire seasons against the wall.
They've responded a lot of times, and sometimes they haven't.
They've responded enough to make the playoffs, but in now,
in single elimination, they're gonna have to respond in as
big a way and play as good as game as
they've played all season long. It's gonna be necessary or
they will not move on, right, they will not. Gotta

(48:02):
be better at the play today. Gotta be better. Let's
continue on the phone lines, Rob, good morning.

Speaker 19 (48:08):
Good morning guys. Uh, funny of you guys are talking
about analytics. I want to go into a few of
them for you guys real quick.

Speaker 7 (48:15):
Uh.

Speaker 19 (48:15):
You know, first of all, it's hard to sweep a
team in a three game series. You know, I don't
care if you're playing the New York Yankees or if
you're playing the Chicago White Sox. It's it's hard to
win three games in a row in professional baseball. So
if we're gonna lose one out of these three games,
i'd certainly hope it's gonna be to the guy that's
gonna be taking home the Cy Young Medal. And that's

(48:38):
and you know what, I don't like it because it
does put our backs against the wall. But I can
accept it because odds are we're gonna lose one out
of those three games. So let them give us, let
them give us their best, and let's and let's we'll
take it for what it is.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
We'll deal with it.

Speaker 19 (48:53):
If we come out on top, great if we don't.
You know, we've still got two more games to play
because the rest of this series is gonna be a
Houston series. We're gonna win this thing out. Hunter Brown's
going tonight. I don't know if you guys have looked
up his stats. He's he's three and zero against the
Tigers and five starts. His ERA is under three. He's

(49:13):
got thirty six strikeouts and twenty five innings, and the
Tigers are a strikeout team this year. They're one of
the top teams in baseball that strike out. He's given
up one home run against the Tigers in thirty six innings.
We are going to win this game tonight. I'm so,
I'm gonna I'm gonna call it right now that Hunter's
gonna go seven innings and he's gonna hit double digit

(49:33):
strikeouts today, and then we're gonna go to Detroit. Kakuchi's
gonna do his thing, and the Astros are gonna get
another win with Wozi's starting the game.

Speaker 5 (49:41):
All I got, guys, you have a great day. Appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (49:43):
Rob.

Speaker 6 (49:44):
All the games are here, correct, Yeah, all three games
are here, and we don't have to travel during the
wild Card round. You win it you stay at home
for all three. Love is confidence, love his confidence. I
I I'm not worried about Hunter Brown pitching. Well, what
I am worried about is them supporting him with more

(50:05):
than a run and it's and it is cause for concern.
Hunter Brown's been fantastic, and his numbers against him. Yeah,
we do look up the numbers, and we appreciate you
validating that as well with the call and make a
good point, but they do play at home. Hel Kakuchi.
If you get the game three advantage them. He is
the best. He's the best number three in this series.

(50:27):
And I think he's as good a number three as
there is in a postseason right now, the way he's
pitched second half of the season. So I like it,
and it all sounds great, But guess what you and
me and none of our callers are going to do
impact the game today. The impact is going to come
from those guys getting clutch it and doing what the
Astros have done the last eight years when necessary, for

(50:48):
the most part, find a way to get done. Yeah,
you know, so, I didn't say backs to the wall.
I hate that phrase, but I understand what people are
saying because the one thing I do know is that
they are and Detroit's against the wall has been that
way in the second too. They had to fight and scratch.
There's a lot of similarities with this team the East.
I mean this game in this series is both teams

(51:09):
have had to at some time point in the season
been under major duress. I have to win it, you know,
to get into the playoffs. The ass had a little
more coast at the end of the season with the
you know, with the way they played in the Maritors
disappearing right. But Detroit's that Detroit has felt like single
elimination for about fifty games.

Speaker 5 (51:28):
They so they they they know how to respond this
year as well.

Speaker 6 (51:31):
Yeah, they and they've been one of the hottest teams
in baseball in the second half.

Speaker 5 (51:34):
I appecially down the last two months.

Speaker 6 (51:36):
I feel good about the Astros today. I don't feel
great about him right now because the plate concerns me.
And I still can't believe we're saying with those guys
that the bat that the batting orders are concerns in order,
but no, but just the lineup of producing runs consistently,
and it's a concern. It's been an issue all season long. Yep,
Jeremy Peney and Kyle Tucker. I'll say it again. Oh

(51:58):
for seven yesterday, three strikeouts, those two cannot do that today.

Speaker 5 (52:03):
And all three strikeouts Jeremy Penya.

Speaker 6 (52:06):
Right, you gotta play yeah, that trick. Yeah, gotta play better,
all right? Seven one three, two, one two five, seven ninety.
We'll continue to take your calls on these astros. Let's

First on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 5 (53:53):
All right, Sean, what are you hearing out there now?
The salsbur East.

Speaker 4 (53:57):
Takeout sALS brief taut on the Sean Salthbury.

Speaker 6 (54:02):
Show, type of the steak out here on the Shawn
Salisbury Show talking about the Astros. They lose to the
Tigers yesterday three to one. Back in action today at

(54:23):
Mini MA Park. One two is the first bitch Noon
on Deck show right here on seven ninety, your home
for Astros baseball seven three two two five, seven ninety
is the number to join.

Speaker 5 (54:31):
See if we've got Chris a better connection. Christy there, Yeah, Brian,
can you hear me? Yes, sir? There we go much better.
How you doing?

Speaker 18 (54:37):
Hey, good morning, Good morning guys.

Speaker 6 (54:39):
Uh.

Speaker 18 (54:39):
First of all, the ABC announcers really suck. I miss
our guys, our hometown guys, Blummer and TK, so uh
shout out to them. Positives from yesterday McCormick, what a
great at bet in the ninth under a pressure situation.
I wouldn't doubt if we saw him in centerfield starting today.
You are Don's double almost a home run, Alex almost

(55:00):
out of home run. Those are positives. A Spota I
thought did fantastic and the bullpen was great. It was
not fromber yesterday it was the offense, and you guys
are saying that. So anybody blaming Frommer for yesterday doesn't
really know what's going on with the Astros this year.
They need to be more patient, like you said, Brian,
and today, I am concerned about this being a bullpen

(55:23):
game for the Tigers. I think Aj is gonna, you know,
show us what he's made of and how good he
is by making this a bullpen day, and the Astros
they just don't do well against bullpen day. So I'm
crossing my fingers. I think a Hunter would be fantastic today.
Second half of the season, he was the one that
we could depend on to put the losing streaks to

(55:45):
an end.

Speaker 20 (55:45):
So go Astros.

Speaker 5 (55:47):
Thank you, Chris. I thought Romber could have been better.
He could have been better in my opinion as well.

Speaker 6 (55:53):
Four and a third, seven hits, three on runs, three k's,
sixty percent strikes.

Speaker 5 (55:57):
Now, he could have been better, should have been better.
He's your cy young guy, Christy. You gotta hit.

Speaker 6 (56:02):
I agree, that's some positives defined, but the it's it's
hard when you're you look to find those positives and
like games like in game seventy.

Speaker 5 (56:10):
Yeah, the problem is positives.

Speaker 6 (56:13):
You don't really have time to focus on negatives or
positive You gotta go play baseball again because now you're
and you're just saying, we talk about single elimination. Detroit's
faced it because they're trying to get in the playoffs
this year. The Astros have this is literally, if you
go in and you don't hit today, you'll go home.
It's pretty simple. They threw their guy. He performed. They
threw We throw our guy he did not. Simple as that.

(56:36):
This this should have been fromber is probably gonna get
Si Young votes again, as he should because of his
regular season performance.

Speaker 5 (56:45):
Right now, maybe against is gonna win. He's gonna win it.

Speaker 6 (56:49):
But what I'm saying is two cy Young candidates, one perform,
one did not, and you saw the difference. And when
you're you line up when you got two guys going over,
that are two big pieces of your offense not gonna win.
Good pitching beats good hitting into Detroit's pitching was better yesterday.

Speaker 5 (57:04):
It was Reggie, good morning.

Speaker 11 (57:07):
Hey what's going on, guys? So I've got two quick
things for you, and I know one's gonna ruffle a
lot of feathers. I'm not giving Kyle Tucker a big contract.
He's never performed in the playoffs. I mean, he always
has a good regular season, but he just disappears in
the playoffs for us. Do you guys agree with that?
I mean, I'd much rather give Bregman, who's more accomplished

(57:30):
in the in the playoffs than than Tucker, the contract.
And then my other take is why in the heck
did we use Hater yesterday? There was no sense in
him coming into that game.

Speaker 6 (57:41):
Appreciate it, Reggie Sean, We've talked about the contract offer
that should be coming at some point next year for
Kyle Tucker and how they're going to look back at
this postseason performance. It's just flat out he's not good
in the postseason, all for four yesterday. We'll see how
he does today, but his statistics in the playoffs are
just straight up not good, right, And it matters when
it comes to coin And so what if we're faced

(58:03):
and Hater has to throw eighteen pitches today to save
a game?

Speaker 7 (58:06):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (58:08):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (58:08):
I know, I know they can go back to back,
don't misunderstanding, But would he have been a lot fresher yesterday?
And I know they've done this a lot with hater
this year, not just in save situations and keep it
close situations. Yeah, now, every single body on the on
the roster, but be prepared to go today. Yes, oh,
it's all hands on deck.

Speaker 5 (58:28):
Be prepared.

Speaker 6 (58:28):
The only guy that won't go today is Kakuchi. I'm
talking about it. If it's if it's pushed. Yeah, he's
the one guy that you better have enough pictures and
beds players to get through today. If it takes one
of those and you've got to empty the benches and
empty the bullpen. That's the one guy that can put
on a uh, you know, batting practice T shirt and

(58:50):
realize he ain't going today. The rest of you are
prepared and.

Speaker 5 (58:54):
Ready to go.

Speaker 6 (58:54):
Yeah, got to. Yeah, so they it's today's game. There's
gonna be some intensity, and I can you can already
feel it, right.

Speaker 5 (59:05):
I don't like it.

Speaker 6 (59:06):
I do love the chaos part of it, the intensity
part of it, but I it I like this better
than I would.

Speaker 5 (59:16):
If you're you're more apt to like.

Speaker 6 (59:19):
I like the feeling of even though I'm not playing
the game, when it's this competitive and single elimination, you
almost feel like you Yeah that makes sense, I guess
That's what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 5 (59:26):
So I like this.

Speaker 6 (59:27):
If they were up three games and none in a
four game series, I mean in a four game win series,
seven game series, it'd be like, okay, can afford business, Yeah,
let's get it done. This to me, it feels like
you are involved in the dugout yourself because you know why,
well why because you show up and show out? No no,
uh uh taking one swing at a time. No, not

(59:50):
one pitch at a time.

Speaker 7 (59:51):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (59:52):
They're backs against the wall? I hate that same. No
you do, I know you do.

Speaker 6 (01:00:01):
Conrod James will get to you on the other side
of it. Seven one three two one two five seven ninety.
Another thing I read some things. Also talked to somebuddies
at the game that went to the game yesterday. Crowd
wasn't very good, wasn't very lively. WHOA, No, that's got
to be racist. No, yeah, kind of its kind. It's
kind of racist. I thought I heard you say that

(01:00:27):
you hated every you hated everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
That's what I heard the crowd. That's what I thought.
I heard you say. Do you see how you guys
do this? What did you say? That's what I heard.

Speaker 6 (01:00:35):
I said Sean and TRIPLEI. I hate the crowd because
they want into the game.

Speaker 7 (01:00:39):
Is that what you said?

Speaker 6 (01:00:39):
I hate Houston sports fans say that. That's what I heard?
That is that is truly true? Truly got to be racist.
Is such gas lighting on a part of you guys.
It's truly got to be racist.

Speaker 5 (01:00:49):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (01:00:50):
Well, the question I asked you was, yeah, act like
it's well, you did, act like it's a debate. You
didn't answer it, right, would you say didn't I hear
you say the Astros crowd sucked?

Speaker 21 (01:01:04):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:01:04):
Wasn't you No?

Speaker 7 (01:01:05):
No? No.

Speaker 5 (01:01:05):
What I said was I I was raised in a
middle class family.

Speaker 6 (01:01:10):
That answers everything exactly. What about a border middle class family?

Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
Right?

Speaker 7 (01:01:14):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:01:16):
What are you doing about keeping money here in the US?
Middle class family? I rode bikes. What are you doing
about the tax what about the taxes? Middle class? He
was raised in middle class family?

Speaker 5 (01:01:25):
Yeah? What about these nuts? Middle class family?

Speaker 6 (01:01:29):
Yeah, I'm just saying allegedly, the crowd wasn't very energized yesterday.
That's not what TRIPLEY and I heard something about they suck.
It felt racist, It felt it felt like it felt like,
you know what we got to be racist.

Speaker 5 (01:01:43):
We got to do is We ought to get a jar.

Speaker 6 (01:01:45):
And for every time you guys try to pin me
and gas like your gaslight me on on what you
just said, we put a dollar in the jar and
then we buy each other booze at the end of well,
what was triple And I'll spit it because you're gonna
fill the jar like eight million times with your uh,
with your sird and quite frankly, hurtful comments.

Speaker 5 (01:02:02):
Hurtful, yes, really hurtful.

Speaker 6 (01:02:04):
Cuts cuts you know, a basic white guy in an
African American Hispanic community. It cuts us deep because you
I thought I heard you say you hated astrois.

Speaker 5 (01:02:13):
I didn't say that though, Oh no, that definitely was not.
Maybe I'm not hearing right. Did I hear the question?

Speaker 9 (01:02:18):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:02:19):
Are you from a middle classroom?

Speaker 7 (01:02:20):
I am?

Speaker 6 (01:02:21):
I am.

Speaker 5 (01:02:22):
Were you at the game yesterday? Seven seven? I call in?
Let us know how the crowd was. We'll discuss next.

Speaker 6 (01:02:31):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continued. Get back out to the
phone lines. Conrad James you up first, Good morning.

Speaker 22 (01:02:39):
Yes, good morning, you're my morning show. So okay, I
said from the get go that I would have started
kokuchi uh I might have been the only person in
Houston that was excited to get him originally because I
knew he was a good picture and I think we

(01:03:01):
would be having a different result right now.

Speaker 9 (01:03:05):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
The other thing is that, uh, I quote.

Speaker 22 (01:03:09):
Mike Tyson, everybody has a game plan until you get
punched in the face. And we got punched in the
face yesterday.

Speaker 13 (01:03:18):
So what is the solution?

Speaker 22 (01:03:21):
Okay, not only good pitching, but hitting is contagious with
the Astros. If we start hitting early, I'm gonna feel
real good about this team. If we don't and we
wait till the ninth in I'm not feeling good about that, Okay.
And finally, I wanted to back up another caller. We

(01:03:45):
didn't get to this point because we couldn't take a punch,
so hopefully we can't bounce back.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
And that's what I have to say.

Speaker 6 (01:03:55):
Thank you, Conroe. James seven seven. I get out to
the like a couple of guys that went to the game.
We'll start with Julio. Julio, Good morning, Hey guys, Good
morning morning.

Speaker 21 (01:04:08):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (01:04:09):
Yeah, I was at the game yesterday afternoon. I keep
saying last night, but it was in during the afternoon.

Speaker 23 (01:04:16):
Yeah, Uh, you're right about the about the crowd. Man,
the crowd just I mean, dude, I mean, you got
you know, we got three two. Everybody has to be
on their feed. We gotta be electrifiing, we gotta be loud,
We gotta do whatever it takes. Man, I mean, you know,
just get these guys, get these guys hyped up. I mean,

(01:04:38):
you know, you know how they get whenever they're hyped up, man,
you know, and uh, I mean, you know, I just
I just feel we have ways a long way to
go to uh, I mean, yeah, to hype up the crowd.

Speaker 7 (01:04:51):
I mean, just it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
We just need more.

Speaker 12 (01:04:54):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
It's it's I look around.

Speaker 23 (01:04:56):

you know, like come on, get up, get loud, like
let's go, like, you.

Speaker 7 (01:05:08):
Know, this is postseason baseball.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
You know, it's not regular season anymore.

Speaker 7 (01:05:12):
This is postseason.

Speaker 23 (01:05:14):
You know, you know, like let's go get up, you know.
But yeah, thank you guys, thank you for taking my call.
And you know, best of luck, you know, best of
luck today and you know, hopefully we make.

Speaker 6 (01:05:26):
It far man appreciate the call, Julio. Yeah, that's kind
of one of the things, just in my own experience.
I just feel like in the playoffs at times there's
low energy throughout the game. I mean, I don't give
a damn. If the Ashos are struggling, you can feel
different moments in the game where you need to get
on your feet and make noise for your team. Three

(01:05:50):
two count. Because every this sounds so cliche. Every pitch matters,
whether it's working to a three to two count, and
a big walk could change a complete inning. And it's
the playoffs. Don't give a damn if they didn't if
there wasn't a lot to cheer for yesterday, get off
your ass, stop being a country club and make some
damn noise.

Speaker 5 (01:06:09):
Seven one three, seven ninety. You're staying there, country club
in it? Yeah that's Ken, good morning.

Speaker 21 (01:06:15):
I don't know what condo James is talking about. If
Kokuchi was gonna pitch, we would have won that game.
Jesus himself could have been pitching that game. If our
batters aren't good bad, then what are we can't win?

Speaker 6 (01:06:26):
And Jesus Jesus is a pretty good pitcher. Ken, he's
got he's got good stuff. He's got a bunch of
different pitches.

Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
We could win at he pitched.

Speaker 24 (01:06:34):
Yeah, listen, we're it's clear that we've gotten used to
postseason baseball in Houston. We expected that we weren't full,
So I'll give you that. You know, we did a
couple of years ago. That place would have been packed,
but we weren't. The crowd stood up when they had to.

Speaker 7 (01:06:51):
I was there.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
I mean in the ninth thinning, we were.

Speaker 21 (01:06:53):
We were on our feet the entire last half of
the ninth there were Todd Bloco gets two strikes.

Speaker 5 (01:06:58):
The crowd started cheering for him. It wasn't as good
as it should have been.

Speaker 21 (01:07:01):
But it wasn't as bad I think as you guys
are making it out, have a good One's why I
wasn't in the ballpark TV exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:07:07):
That's why I asked for people to call in because
I wasn't there. Here's what I will say. The crowd matters. Enthusiasm, energy,
It's more energy than anything.

Speaker 5 (01:07:19):
That's why. That's why.

Speaker 6 (01:07:19):
Yeah, it almost like you know, it almost like it
it almost like it filters down into the bat itself.

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
It really does.

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
But but let me, let me, let me just be
the devil's advocate from the player side, and it does bad.

Speaker 5 (01:07:31):
They do they feed of course you do.

Speaker 6 (01:07:33):
You feed up the good ones going to opposing ballpark
and love the booze, love to have people m f
and then go. Matter of fact, there's there's there's a
part of the player that I've been around that'll win
on the road mentally, psychologically, and like middle Finger, is
far better than a win at home because you at home,
you know how your home crowd feels about you. You

(01:07:53):
love being that guy who knocks out the guy in
their own building, in front of their own families and
all of it. And you walk out of there with
the victory. And they're the ones who got to go
home and suffer and eat dinner at their own table.
But I can tell you this, great teams don't care.
They feed off the energy. But let's just say fans
were so frustrated. The ballpark was three quarters full today

(01:08:16):
and they got down four to nothing. That ain't a
fan thing, right, that's a performance, that's exactly right. So
I wasn't there on TV. It's a little you know,
they can punch in sound or what however, they're sure
and the broadcasters. Energy can get either covered or lack
of energy can make it sound like it's a boring game.
So I'll trust whoever was there. But you're right, it

(01:08:38):
does the energy you feed off it as you're going
momentumise in game. But I can tell you this, if
they go home, it ain't going to be because the
crowd didn't cheer.

Speaker 5 (01:08:47):
It's going to be.

Speaker 6 (01:08:47):
Because the guy didn't get a clutch hit with the
guy's second base, couldn't move a runner over, or couldn't
get anybody out. Yeah, at the end of the day,
they got to perform. That's exactly right. I think from
where i'm the they need it even more never because
of the energy that's going to be needed to write
to one win and having it extend to three games.

Speaker 5 (01:09:02):
Shore.

Speaker 6 (01:09:02):
Yeah, I think just kind of like the point that
I was making is I get that it's a one
to thirty start on a Tuesday, Wednesday and a Thursday,
and it's hard for people to get off work and
to go.

Speaker 5 (01:09:10):
I get that.

Speaker 6 (01:09:10):
Sure, there's only forty thousand fans there yesterday, allegedly that's
what they said on the broadcast. Not sure if that's
actually the case. However, for the thirty eight to forty
thousand that are they.

Speaker 5 (01:09:21):
Want it to sound like one hundred. Yeah, man, I
get it, and I'm just talking from a pure fan standpoint.
Completely good. I don't think it.

Speaker 6 (01:09:27):
I think I'm with you. I think the players acknowledge it.
I think it helps in certain cases. I think you
could feel the momentum in game that'll get the fans
up off their feet. But I've experienced myself in twenty
twenty one, I was sitting in the club level when
they played the White Sox and they came here to
town for the Alds, and I got bitched at for
standing up in game one and like the third inning
when it was a big inning for the Astro so

(01:09:49):
it was like nothing, nothing or whatever the case was.
NA had runners a second and third with one out
and I'm up cheering and there were people behind me
bitching at me to sit down.

Speaker 5 (01:09:55):
Right.

Speaker 6 (01:09:55):
Here's how this works. When you win, players will say
fans were a big part of us winning, and and
and and it's a fact. When you lose, you should
rarely hear a player say, well, the fans would have
been more into it. We don't want and our previous
caller he makes a great point about listen, whoever you

(01:10:15):
started yesterday, if you can't produce runs, it won't matter
who pitches unless they throw it, unless they pitch a
shut out and you win one nothing? How many won
and nothing games? Are there quite frankly in these days
or just in general in general? I mean yeah, I
mean very rare, very few and far between. The two
pitchers were lights out the whole time that this is
and you're you're hanging by a thread. Now, the astros

(01:10:37):
don't think they're hanging by a thread because they know
what this looks like. They've seen the movie a bunch
of times. But I can tell you this this year,
in twenty twenty four, Detroit's been about sixty seventy games
seeing the same movie. So you can't take them for granted.
And the manager over there gets it because he's been
that's my point.

Speaker 5 (01:10:54):
As does this.

Speaker 6 (01:10:55):
But this guy gets it. He's been in advantage. It's
situational baseball right now. Aj Hinch is one of the
best in the business.

Speaker 8 (01:11:02):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:11:03):
And you you'd like, you know what, you'd like to
stay out of situational You get my point? Yeah, situational
baseball can you can can kiss my ass when you're
up seven to one. Yeah, Now, it's just scrambling and
being desperate.

Speaker 6 (01:11:13):
So if you're up seven to one as an Astro,
situational baseball is just getting through three outs and having
decent at bats so you can finish it out and
then back into the bullpen wearing you out. Yeah, that's
what you need. Seven one three, two, one two five seven.
I only got the phone lines lit up. Everybody that's
on hold. We will get to you next as we
continue to talk about the Astros loss to the Tigers
yesterday in Game one of the AL Wildcard. Next, cert

(01:11:35):
of Pro Painters is now curt of Pro. Business is expensive.
Homes are expensive, interior x year, but you want it
to be presentable the way you want it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:43):
That's what's great about surt of Pro. Walk them through.

Speaker 6 (01:11:45):
They're timely, they're local, they'll help you pick out paints.
They'll do the house and the business like they would
do their own. Those things matter to me. And while
sort of pro, everybody knows it's sort of with the
c You can get your at certapro dot com, your
free estimate. Every sort of pro business, individually owned and operated.
I say it all the time, which we get. But
I can tell you this presentation is important for your

(01:12:07):
own eyes. Sitting at home, sitting there staring up, you
got a cigar on your patio, and you say, man,
did they do a good job. I get why we
all d Wires wanted the pride to do it ourselves.
It's save money, I get it. But if you want
it done right, I'm not saying you can't do it right,
but with efficiency. And it's boutiqueish to me, and boutique
matters because I was a customer first, and when they
know who they're going to see that you're not just

(01:12:28):
a number, You're a face and a name and a
voice that they want to hear what you want and
help you pick out the paints because they're experts at
knowing what goes together, what pops for you, So go
in and check them out. Like I said, owning a
home and a business is expensive. I can preach on
this why because I'm a customer for sort of pro
painter first. It's sort of pro painting, sort of with

(01:12:49):
the Sea, official painting partner of the Houston Astros. They're
used to winning and they want you to win too.
Sort of pro sort of with the sea, sort of
pro painters, sort of pro it's painting happy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
The Salsbury Show continues.

Speaker 6 (01:13:05):
Noon is when the on Deck Show starts right here
on seven on your Home for Astros Baseball, Hunter Brown
on the bump for the show seven seven ninety phone
lines jammed up. Let's get out to him. Let's be
quick and Chris so everybody can get in. Tommy, you're
up first.

Speaker 25 (01:13:19):
Good morning, guys.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
How are you?

Speaker 5 (01:13:21):
We're fantastic man, what's on your mind?

Speaker 7 (01:13:23):
Yeah, that's real. Pick, let's be real.

Speaker 26 (01:13:26):
You get what you give.

Speaker 25 (01:13:28):
If if the Astros are not given the fans something
to cheer about, and school Will can do that.

Speaker 27 (01:13:34):
He's a pitcher that can do that.

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
To a team.

Speaker 28 (01:13:36):
I mean, he just takes the team out and he
takes the fans out.

Speaker 17 (01:13:39):
But you get what you give.

Speaker 7 (01:13:40):
I mean, looking what Michael King did.

Speaker 28 (01:13:42):
For the Padres last night, and he was lights out
and he took everybody out of it. But I think
the overall the Astros are gonna be fine. I think
they still take the series. Uh, just because they're that
type of team.

Speaker 25 (01:13:53):
And uh, as far as the conversation before, I thought
I heard Brian say he was gonna.

Speaker 28 (01:13:58):
Be a Yankee fan, and then he still has a
one soda jersey hanging up in the closet.

Speaker 5 (01:14:03):
Yeah, I remember he said that. Yeah, here we go.
I appreciate it. Tommy.

Speaker 6 (01:14:07):
I saw, well he's got his he went and got
his vehicle wrapped. It's a Yankee tribes.

Speaker 27 (01:14:14):
Yeah, like the old days when they used to bring
the pitches out in that thing.

Speaker 6 (01:14:18):
Yeah exactly, damn right, I miss I missed those days.
Appreciate the bringing it for the the guy that we
don't want. We don't want the both guys even walk
a minute. It's cool though.

Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
You got the music and you you got let go.
You only get what you get new radicals the Yeah, but.

Speaker 6 (01:14:44):
I do not have one so jersey, Juan, so you
might want to get one. Yeah, pretty good. No our past,
what's happening.

Speaker 5 (01:14:56):
I'm not No, we're not dealing with that. I won one. Yeah, yeah,
he a.

Speaker 7 (01:15:01):
Right.

Speaker 29 (01:15:02):
Good good morning guys. Hey listen everybody, and I think
we got the wrong stadium. I mean I was at
the game when we won last week with the Texans,
and you know, the fans are supposed to cheer when
the defense is on the field, so that we can
mess up their offense. But when we're playing baseball, and

(01:15:22):
I guess the reason I'm saying this, when we played baseball,
didn't we have a world champion in twenty and twenty
one because there was no fans in the stands. So
let's let's put the on this on where it really belongs.
The players get paid millions and millions of dollars to
hit the ball, catch the ball, do whatever they're supposed
to do. If they get the luxury of having a

(01:15:44):
fan cheer for them, then that's a plus. But we
get paid to do our jobs, and that's that's the
only thing. Is we should ever talk about a fan
coming late or whatever. That's just an excuse. So playball,
hope we win, and let's just move forward.

Speaker 5 (01:16:01):
Thank you. Ray. Is he wrong? I don't really know
what the point the.

Speaker 6 (01:16:08):
Point the point he's saying is regardless of fans, the players. Yeah,
they got falls on them, but there's any if that
was a He's right in twenty twenty, but it wasn't
fun to watch that. He's one hundred percent correct, and
they make all the money and it's their job. But
let's face anything you do, go play a pickup game,
a hoops at the gym, tell me you're not better

(01:16:28):
when in fact, let's just say all said you're playing
a pick up game or a fraternity you know, yeah yeah,
and all of a sudden the sorority zoids show up.
Yeah you know, yeah, I mean either the two groups
of or fraternity guys. Make you feel good. You're about
to go, well, of course you are. You're about to
go twenty yards passing. Did I go because you got

(01:16:50):
you got the Delta zetas in the house?

Speaker 5 (01:16:52):
Did I did? I?

Speaker 6 (01:16:54):
Did I say? Did the fraternity guys will show up?
You go, yeah and go balls to the wall. Yeah,
nice time like that?

Speaker 7 (01:17:00):
Pause?

Speaker 6 (01:17:01):
Yeah, hey, listen. So you're there, you're playing a little
you played a little you know what is it? Fly
flag football? And you guys are out there at the field,
and all of a sudden, if you're gonna have a
kagger after it's a Thursday game they're playing, and all of.

Speaker 5 (01:17:14):
A sudden is in the house over you Delta gambs
are about to roll up with the kappas.

Speaker 6 (01:17:20):
Yeah, yeah, Sigma guys for youma, Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:17:23):
Why not.

Speaker 5 (01:17:25):
Delt the guy?

Speaker 6 (01:17:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:17:26):
Why not?

Speaker 6 (01:17:26):
Or they go Delta little tried delt on their ass.
But then you all of a sudden there and it's
kind of empty. Yeah, and you guys, you start off
and you're playing dB and a guy beat you for
a slow white guy beat you for a touchdown? Get right,
But then you're gonna play quarterback on offense.

Speaker 7 (01:17:40):
Or are you?

Speaker 30 (01:17:41):
I got you?

Speaker 5 (01:17:41):
You're white slot guy?

Speaker 6 (01:17:42):
No, I'm quarterback quarterback okay, pop gun arm or a
little bit of a okay, so we got you.

Speaker 5 (01:17:48):
And all of a sudden, you're like, man, I not
everybody announces we're having a party.

Speaker 6 (01:17:51):
After in the middle of the second quarter. Then all
of a sudden, Sammy Joe, yeah, uh uh, Savannah uh huh.
You know a lot of stripper names, but they roll
up and all of a sudden, you're like four completions.

Speaker 5 (01:18:10):
In a row. That's what you.

Speaker 15 (01:18:13):
Boys like.

Speaker 5 (01:18:17):
Yeah, and yeah, you're running NASCAR, damn right.

Speaker 6 (01:18:22):
The two minutes and when you make it, and your
celebration is when you throw the touchdown like a bang
post no pun intended. You all of a sudden look
over at Sammy Joe, who's a Delta Gamma, and you
look at her and you gave her that look like yeah, yeah, yeah,
like right he oh yeah, like you you know what
tonight is gonna be about, baby, Yeah, the fans are
in it.

Speaker 7 (01:18:41):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:18:42):
The onus falls on you to make it happen. True,
But the zoid rolls up. Look at the view when.

Speaker 6 (01:18:47):
We when we go to triple to the view, Yeah,
and they come in and when we walk into this
d Lalim is obviously in the slot basic, but you
know TRIPLEY is there Aready says, the zoids are showing number. Man,
all of a sudden, you have fifteen catches for like
one hundred and ninety. Yeah, you're the fraternity League MVP.
I got the sisters right, that's exactly right. You gotta

(01:19:09):
get me a little bit in over your head with
a sist probably, but hey it's fine.

Speaker 5 (01:19:13):
Who's counting, Yeah exactly. And then so all of a
sudden it does. Man, Now it's on you. But a
good performance and the weakin's righteous, damn right it is,
so it makes sense.

Speaker 7 (01:19:23):
You got it.

Speaker 5 (01:19:23):
You know, you got to perform for the fans.

Speaker 6 (01:19:25):
Hey, snap a few balls down in the dirt on
a third and four and guess what, all of a
sudden you start to.

Speaker 5 (01:19:30):
See the file out.

Speaker 6 (01:19:32):
Next thing and you start cheering for the opposing you're
playing in a it's a fraternity league with the championships
like it's like A and M versus Texas say that
we're having an interstate fraternity championship and you're getting your
ass kicked, and all of a sudden you see one
slip on the other color hat and there are other
quarterbacks got stealing mowing your grass.

Speaker 5 (01:19:51):
My zoid manin' good.

But let's let's go back to you know, we get

the buzzer ready to go, John, what's going on?

Speaker 16 (01:23:08):
What's up, gentlemen?

Speaker 5 (01:23:09):
How we doing?

Speaker 9 (01:23:11):
Uh?

Speaker 16 (01:23:11):
Well, let's see. Let's just put the game yesterday. It's
a done deal, okay. And today I think the proper
word is ambush. Score as many run as you can
against the Detroit and you know, give mister Hunter a cushion.
That's the only way you know to do this, and

(01:23:35):
just you know, go with the flow. It's all, you know,
just got to stay alive.

Speaker 5 (01:23:43):
And got to score some runs early.

Speaker 16 (01:23:46):
Yes, sir, because that uh, that Detroit, he's got a
lot of energy.

Speaker 6 (01:23:50):
You know.

Speaker 16 (01:23:51):
You have to give them while you can, you know.
And I I we my friends, and I think that
our team will do better if they score some runs,
you know, and then give mister Hunter a cushion.

Speaker 31 (01:24:04):
Equers.

Speaker 16 (01:24:05):
So good luck to him and we'll be we're pulling
for him like we always do.

Speaker 6 (01:24:10):
Thank you John, Thank you John. I'll tell you what,
John sure simplifies it. Score early, score, often, give him
a cushion. It all is well. I hope it's that
simple today. Me too, I really do, me too. I
like how the simplicity of it. Just score more runs
with them, score early, and often give a cushion. Everything
can turn out.

Speaker 5 (01:24:30):
Keith, welcome in. Hey guys, good morning.

Speaker 32 (01:24:34):
Uh So, I've been to every I'm I'm fortunate, but
I've been to every playoff game since the first game
in two thousand and five.

Speaker 5 (01:24:46):
I guess the White Sox I went up there for that.
I've been to every home playoff game uh here since then.
Uh So, with that said, what I felt yes today?

Speaker 32 (01:25:01):
First off, you know, I'm just a middle class guy.
But whoever says there's forty thousand people in the ballpark yesterday,
uh man, they must be uh they must.

Speaker 5 (01:25:13):
Be vote counters or something, because if if there.

Speaker 32 (01:25:17):
Were thirty, if there were thirty five thousand in there,
uh man, I'll treat you guys to a first class trip.

Speaker 6 (01:25:26):
So Joe, you said that, you said that you're just
a middle class guy. What are you gonna do about
the border? I'm kidding. Uh, don't don't answer that. There
you go, yeah, yeah, so you're saying there was less there. Yeah,
they put around on the broadcast to you yesterday. Yeah,
forty forty thousand attendance.

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
Yeah yeah, I mean I sit.

Speaker 32 (01:25:48):
I sit in the club level right behind that subtle right,
right man, every home playoff.

Speaker 5 (01:25:56):
Game, subtle.

Speaker 6 (01:25:58):
Next thing you know you're gonna say, you're called pictures
and pictures from the dugout man, they got it.

Speaker 5 (01:26:03):
I don't.

Speaker 23 (01:26:04):

Speaker 5 (01:26:05):
I don't do that.

Speaker 17 (01:26:06):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (01:26:06):
I don't do that.

Speaker 5 (01:26:39):
You know we have a lottery on the okay, the playoffs, gotcha,
but uh uh but anyway, it's it's uh, you.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
Know, yesterday.

Speaker 32 (01:26:52):
The energy in that place, I felt like I was
sitting in the waiting room waiting on my my five
year colons.

Speaker 33 (01:27:00):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:27:00):
I mean either that or prostate check. But who's counting, right?
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:27:05):

Speaker 3 (01:27:17):
Let you.

Speaker 5 (01:27:19):
Great stuff? What do you the least you can feelings?

Speaker 19 (01:27:23):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (01:27:24):
Could you do that again? I love it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:26):
Let's talk to Mauricio. I don't know if this is
Ricio dubond. Hey, hey, you're you're You've had a hell
of a season.

Speaker 5 (01:27:32):
What's some that was? That was crazy?

Speaker 6 (01:27:35):
Oh triple we got some some connection problems. Let's get
to Tim real quick on Mauricio, Hey, Tim, what's happening?

Speaker 5 (01:27:42):
Holy?

Speaker 34 (01:27:42):
Hey, good morning? Hey hey real quick. You had a
caller earlier talking about Jesus Man. I can't help but
think I might need to go home and have a
I bumped me out a song of Carrie Underwood Sala.
You know, Jesus take the Hill, Jesus take the Hill. Yeah,
that's right, brother. Hey listen, I gotta I gotta call
real pa't actual us.

Speaker 5 (01:28:03):
Oh sorry.

Speaker 34 (01:28:07):
So I actually called in on this earlier in the
season and we talked about this. It's been a minute
to talk to you, guys, But I think one of
the things that it's so hard to explain if this
team gives us a vibe, he's very first inning on
how a game is gone gonna turn out. I've never

(01:28:27):
had this thing with any other pro team, but for
some reason lately the past few years, you just catched
this vibe with this this crew.

Speaker 7 (01:28:35):
Man.

Speaker 34 (01:28:35):
It's like, you know, the first or second inning how
a game is going to turn out. And I think
when Fromber's on the hill, he's either lights out or
he's lights off. And I think everybody kind of picks
up on that vibe and it just shuts down that
whole energy in that stadium.

Speaker 7 (01:28:50):
Man.

Speaker 34 (01:28:50):
And that's just my take. And Sean McCourty, go, want
to ask you a question you mentioned earlier about picking
up ball and how you tend to play better when
you know the guys around your ball and there's energy
and there blah blah blah. I understand that on pickup
ball with your buddies breda bratt or whatever, but that
you played ball that's actually true. I mean as a

(01:29:11):
quarterback you get under sin her and take a snap
better or drop back better when the crowd was electric.
I mean, just be honest, just an answer, and I'll hang.

Speaker 5 (01:29:20):
Up and let the guys well.

Speaker 6 (01:29:22):
I'm always honest, Tim, and I'll always give an answer
that I love them. When you things are going well
and the fan feeds and it's the old chicken or
the egg. I know the fans are excited when it goes,
but if you go a three up three down, is
it completely take the energy out of the building. The
best way to add energy is to perform early and
keep him in it the whole way. No, I didn't
drop back thinking I got impressed the guy in the

(01:29:42):
fifteenth row. That was not my intention. You're Tim, and
I'm always honest with my answer. I'm not a hyperbolic
nor am I a hot take guy. Fans mattered just
like they mad when they were booing you. You knew
what you were and plenty of times we deserve to
be booed, and then there's times you deserve to be cheered.
And they want to win just like the players do it.
And there's a lot invested in everybody financially, elbow grease,

(01:30:05):
whatever it is. But no, I didn't drop back thinking
if I miss this throw, I'm gonna have to deal
with a media member or a fan that at the
bar is going to say, how'd you miss that throw?

Speaker 5 (01:30:16):
At no time?

Speaker 6 (01:30:18):
Do you feed off the energy, Sure you do, but
I prepare I'm dropping back to throw a ball, regardless
if the stands are empty or whether the stands are
there's one hundred thousand people in it, and try to
do at your best because even if they're not in
the stand somebody's watching. I tell my quarterbacks that I'm
training you better perform on the practice field. In a game,
you better act as if the most important person in

(01:30:40):
your career is watching for that moment, especially on your workday.
I mean on the practice day to get ready for
a game. So and then how you deal with pressure
each individual that's compartmentalized for each guy, Guy's handle pressure different.
So no, the fans weren't my objective or my thought
process while I was playing. But I can tell you this,
they matter a great deal because when they disappear, you

(01:31:02):
almost feel it, even though you're the ones performing or
not performing. You almost feel as if they've left the building,
even if they're there. And that is on the athletes.
And it's hard as a fan when you get mowed
down by a pitcher, it really is hard to keep
the money.

Speaker 7 (01:31:15):
I get it.

Speaker 6 (01:31:16):
So this is a player first, fan it's fan second.
But when all are going good and that building's rocking,
like when you and I are at the World Series
last year, it's a different feel.

Speaker 5 (01:31:26):
But you know why the building start off rocking.

Speaker 6 (01:31:28):
You know why the building stayed rocking because they're winning
and performing, putting themselves in position to have an opportunity
that World Series last year, World Series two years ago, right,
and last year of the playoffs right exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:31:39):
So yes, they matter.

Speaker 6 (01:31:41):
But as a player, you're dealing with it every game
as if there's one hundred thousand people, and you're dealing
with it empty or not. That's not what your performance
is based on. Although you like it when the crowd
feels good about you, if I have to rely on
a cheer to play good, sport. Play good football, play
good baseball. I'm probably not gonna be able to sustain
goodness on a regular basis. Your performance has to be great,

(01:32:01):
regardless of who's watching. Wise man once told me the
house is a rock and don't bother knocking. A wise
man told you that, Stevie Ray Vaughan. Well, that's usually
if you're like in your van. Yeah, if the vans
are rocking, don't bother Yeah. Yeah, you know you got
your your your lady in there and you guys are
making out. Maybe that's what that means. Yeah, I didn't
know that when my vans are rocking. Uh huh, don't

(01:32:25):
bother knocking.

Speaker 5 (01:32:26):
Why do you have a van?

Speaker 7 (01:32:28):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:32:28):
It was down by the river, okay, down.

Speaker 6 (01:32:31):
Maybe maybe Maybe you can't afford a hotel and you
just real that's where you want to wrench kiss your girlfriend.
But you can avoid played the French. You can afford
a van. Yeah, but it was it was it was
a legacy handed down from the family. Oh okay, you
know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's wrong
with the van? I didn't say soccer fan. Maybe it's
maybe it's a custom, maybe a mom van. Maybe maybe

(01:32:51):
it's one of those old V dub vans where you
go to the beach killed. You know, what's your classics? Noddude,
you're out the cause you do surf shred the Narborough.
You got a shred out there on the West coast,
left coast, hang lose. That's not how I talk, that is,
and that's not how much of my friends talk.

Speaker 5 (01:33:06):
I think that's what they did. Make fun of them too.
Hey man, let's go getting the V dub Man West.

Speaker 6 (01:33:12):
That's my essay, all right, let's get the break seven one, three, two, two,
five seven niney keep on taking your calls.

Speaker 7 (01:33:41):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (01:33:41):
Just uh, just a couple observations.

Speaker 33 (01:33:44):
I went to the game yesterday and to Keith's point, yeah,
I didn't see I didn't see anywhere near forty thousand.
I told my wife I thought there was under thirty thousand,
but just you know that second inning once Fromberg got tagged,
you know, anything after that was just there was just
no air, there was no energy.

Speaker 5 (01:34:02):
And then another point is the bottom of the batting order, you.

Speaker 7 (01:34:05):
Know it was.

Speaker 33 (01:34:06):
I mean just take a look at that that those stats,
it's it's it's terrible. So just a couple couple of
points I wanted to bring up. Appreciate you guys.

I call be blessed and some of the lyrics in

Speaker 2 (01:40:27):
We're gonna watch God.

Speaker 17 (01:40:28):
Change some things.

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
And so, I mean, you know miss Carroll.

Speaker 17 (01:40:32):
You know, Sean, we we got to reach out to
Miss Carroll, make sure she.

Speaker 5 (01:40:37):
Is uh looked after, getting all that she needs. Yeah,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 17 (01:40:40):
She said somebody brought some stuff or some pain or whatever.
We talking about lim caids. It's some serious business, man.
But you know, I don't know how we could do
it or whatever. I know that the listeners out there,
we always, you know, can kick in something man and
helps us make sure missus Carroll is getting the best
of whatever she needs.

Speaker 7 (01:40:56):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:40:56):
You know, I just had to say that.

Speaker 6 (01:40:58):
Fantastic point, Biscuit fan. It's when all of a sudden done,
Isn't that what really matters. That's what really is.

Speaker 17 (01:41:07):
Whether it was forty thousand or thirty thousand Ms Garrett
talking about something.

Speaker 5 (01:41:10):
Hold up, Man, you know that's exactly right. Yeah, you're
you're spot on with that, brother well said, what else
is on your other Let.

Speaker 17 (01:41:17):
Me say, man, Sean, and and I think one of
the things about the fans, and you could correct me
if I'm wrong. Sean, it's not sometimes what the fans
do for the home team, but how to affect the
visiting team. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:41:32):
For my you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (01:41:34):
I recall Man Sean laid back in it.

Speaker 17 (01:41:36):
But what we was playing, we had to go to
one high school, Martinsville. Man, we had to fight to
get on the field. It just wasn't an uncomfortable environment.
You know, someplace you go and you don't mind going to,
and then.

Speaker 7 (01:41:47):
There's other place.

Speaker 17 (01:41:47):
Oh damn, we got to go over there.

Speaker 7 (01:41:49):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:41:50):
So that's what the problem.

Speaker 17 (01:41:51):
It's not because this ain't a one game thing, Sean.
We lost how many games do we losing home to
the Rangers last year and lose it home to the
to Washington and the World Series, all of them, you
know what I'm saying. So it's something that the environment
is too comfortable for the visiting teams. We got to

(01:42:12):
bring up we had to say the environment not just
for the home team before the effect the visit team
and the umpires and referee and member shign Back in
the day they had the House of Pain that I
think that's the only time really used to add a
big holl field advantage and member sign when they and
as Dolman, they called it truth.

Speaker 6 (01:42:30):
You want to come up in there and you know what,
your home team feeds off your energy against the visiting team.
And I know, Biscuit, we're not talking about you know,
a punch a fan at the top of their head
when they walk in the stadium, and we're not talking
about violence.

Speaker 5 (01:42:44):
You're talking about hardcore energy. Feel it.

Speaker 6 (01:42:47):
Even when things aren't going well, you got to rise
above it. And there's no doubt. And I almost think, Biscuit,
that your way is even more effective than we know
your hometown. We know you're getting cheers when things are
going right. You know, I mean the energy in a building,
everybody's fired up. They're not going to work or school
that day. On a day game, it's the other one
to where when the team walks in, if it's sublime

(01:43:09):
as a visiting player, you feel like it's your home
and say, there's no energy. I'm not talking about here,
anywhere you go. You're exactly right. But when we walked
into Philadelphia when I was playing Biscuit, we played in
Ventan Stadium or Pittsburgh, I got news for you, brother,
When you popped off the team bus, it was like,
it's not just game, it's not just on the field.

(01:43:30):
We got to deal with I mean, there they are.
You can feel it from the from the time you
wake up in your opposing hotel. Matter of fact, they
party in your hotel at night to keep you awake
on purpose, Honest to God, that's how they They know
where hotel you're staying. And so, yes, there is a
lot of ways the right way to be to be
a fan, that's what you're saying, and I'm with you, man,

(01:43:51):
make it miserable. So home field advantage is true home
field advantage to where the visiting teams like that that
we're we're walking into a buzzsaw as is, you know,
as uh generic as that sounds, but it's true. And
then when you walk into it, hell, you're already at
a disadvantage before the game.

Speaker 5 (01:44:09):
Starts. It's a hell of a point by you, Hey.

Speaker 17 (01:44:12):
Triple Y, Jason Kurry, Frank some some from Miss Carroll man,
but yeah, I just will see. But all that means said, lima,
if you pitcher started out throwing thirteen balls out of
fifteen pitches, you know what's the ass you got?

Speaker 5 (01:44:27):
You know, Yes, that's one hell of a point. And
with the other guy does it?

Speaker 6 (01:44:31):
Thatsanks for a tough day, biscuit, great stuff, Starctor, Ronnie, Ronnie,
what's happening?

Speaker 27 (01:44:37):
Good morning, guys. I got a lot of I'll try
to get to it as quick as I can. Two
songs that I didn't get to suggest for uh Tripley
to play for Kokuchie, Hello Goodbye by the Beatles and Uh,
country folks can survive. Hank Hank Junior. That's a good
Western Wednesday song.

Speaker 5 (01:44:55):
Absolutely, and hopefully I.

Speaker 27 (01:44:58):
Don't know Miss Carroll, but I'm sure I may know
some people within the blind community who might so i'll,
you know, talk to people.

Speaker 32 (01:45:04):
And prayer works.

Speaker 27 (01:45:06):
Man, you don't know, people don't know how prayer really
does work.

Speaker 5 (01:45:10):
And that'll help.

Speaker 27 (01:45:12):
Who's pitching for the Tigers today? Who's their opener?

Speaker 5 (01:45:15):
It's going to be Holton. Tyler Holton, Oh, never heard
of him.

Speaker 6 (01:45:19):
He's seven and two this year with a sub to
e or right around the two e R with a
whip of point seven eighty six somewhere around there. He's
been really good. But he is an opener, so I
would assume what two maybe three innings?

Speaker 5 (01:45:35):
Max?

Speaker 27 (01:45:36):
Yeah, okay, And I don't mean to be poking fun
at people or whatever, but I've just got to get
these bad dad jokes in here. You know, if you
want talking about getting Jesus involved, the Astros need to
find a way to get the tigers crossed up today
so we can start driving the nails in the coffin,
drop the hammer down, and a spot I can pilot

(01:46:00):
the Astros to another world series. That's what I got today, guys.

Speaker 5 (01:46:05):
Unconscious pilot cards. Hey, Ronnie, great stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:46:09):
I'm not going to stand next to you today when
you get when lightning starts to strike. You know, the
Good Lord has a sense of humor. Yeah, he sure does.
And Ronnie had been see Ronnie smart. He mentioned prayer
before he went on on the dad jokes about Jesus.
He's a wise guy.

Speaker 7 (01:46:26):
Man.

Speaker 5 (01:46:26):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (01:46:27):
The Good Lord forgives but no, that's He's exactly right.
They h this is a well, this is you don't
want to go home? You better play better. Yeah, and
I would suggest a few prayers to help.

Speaker 5 (01:46:37):
Yeah, real quick, let's get to Jason, Jason, what's up?

Speaker 14 (01:46:40):
Good morning fellows, Happy, basic white guy Western Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (01:46:44):
Let's go, you know it, baby, let's lead off.

Speaker 14 (01:46:48):
You know, prayers up for miss Carroll Man.

Speaker 5 (01:46:50):
You know that's awesome prayer. You know, hey, keep it going.

Speaker 14 (01:46:53):
We believe in you and where we want to wish
you the very best. First point I want to make
is how bad is Tim Kirk and Michael ka. I
mean I listened to Robert Ford and Steve Sparks when
I'm sneaking around at work listening to the game. But
then I went home for lunch, and man, those two
guys on YES or ABC were just so boring and terrible.
Kirchin made an analytical point for about ten minutes about

(01:47:15):
guys walking down with nachos, but anyway, man, they were lame.

Speaker 5 (01:47:21):
Second of all, I'm not nervous, man.

Speaker 14 (01:47:22):
I mean the Tigers had the matchup advantage yesterday with
Scoople going. I mean, fran Burgess is our number one guy.
But man, we just need Diesel and Chattahoochie to do
what they do.

Speaker 7 (01:47:32):
You know.

Speaker 14 (01:47:32):
Let's go out there, take game two and game three
and I think the Strows are going to be just
fine and moving on. And finally, guys, hey, when we
go up to the view, I'm gonna be lead blocking
for you guys like Bruce Matthews for the old oilers.
You know, you guys get your numbers, but I'm gonna
be taking care of those vbw's, those big.

Speaker 6 (01:47:50):
Friends Jason Jason, and know how good Bruce Matthews can protect.
He did it for me for a long time. So yes,
I'm on his sidew I do are you allowed to
say it?

Speaker 5 (01:48:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:48:07):
Ye say it Big Beautiful Woman. Yeah, I'm not sure
that's what he I think that's what he had in mind.
But uh, I like BBD for Big Bad Woman too.
But it is the acronym you're talking about. Is exactly
what it stands for? I believe, Yeah it does. Yeah,
I mean that's the what else is big beautiful? Well,
I just gave you one. You're going to the Bible,

(01:48:29):

Urban Dictionary. Let's check it out.

He say, big bad? What what name did he put
on the BBW? But did he have a name? Was it?

or plus size women. Brah, Look, I'm just reading. Did
I not tell you that there was going to be
a different saying for it? Okay, big bad meaning thick
bis notchous. That's what is it with two seats I've
imagined it is. Yeah, all right, I think you know what,

forty five seconds for you, all.

Speaker 5 (01:55:03):

But you got to give it up to schoogle Man.
The dude was efficient. Sometimes you just get beat.

Connor de McGovern that. And he's as basic white dude
as he gets. I'm not calling there especially, they're not
calling the next show. But I like it, and you
were concise and you do yeah, but he really it's

The great thing about baseball is the same, you know,
first of off, the like while you're going through a game.

Speaker 38 (02:07:09):
Of the game, No, I was just I was just
reading that we our attendance was down this year, and
and then you know you're saying that the tickets are
pretty much cheap and available. And as soon as this
this world series run is over, which I hope is
not today, we're.

Speaker 7 (02:07:28):
Gonna start clamoring to bring them players back.

Speaker 38 (02:07:31):
And unfortunately, you know, we as fans, we just gotta
we gotta respond, right, we have to say the same
thing with our with our butts in seats as we

Speaker 8 (02:07:41):
Right.

Speaker 7 (02:07:41):
So anyway, that's just the coming.

Talking Astros, The Sean Salisbury Show continues on your game console.
Listen to Sports Talk seven ninety on any device with
our free iHeart Radio amp. Dana Brown join us. We'll

(02:08:57):
start with Brian. Good morning, Brian, good morning, what's on
your mind?

Speaker 20 (02:09:03):
Came on here? It came on here to give my
two cents. I don't think from what we've seen from Tromber,
there is any way we can give a contract to
this guy. You got to let him go to the
Mets or something. I mean, the head case that he's got,
he just snowballs out of control. It's unbelievable. Never seen
anything like it.

Speaker 6 (02:09:26):
Yeah, there's no question about it, Brian. We've seen it
too many damn times, right.

Speaker 20 (02:09:31):
Yeah, I mean it's a story that has told itself
about eight times.

Speaker 5 (02:09:38):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (02:09:39):
We appreciate him, man to me. I mean, the point
is is that I think he's done a great job
of overcoming it this year. But it can't be part
of the time or some of the time. Right, he's
done a hell of the Frumer's had a hell of
a year, he has. But the thing that takes you
to another level and lets you stay there there is

(02:10:02):
the ability, the mental toughness to get out of stressful situations.
He's gotten better at it. But yesterday it was a
little bit of a a little bit. Now he had
kind of what they're gonna pay him, what he's going
to ask for kind of pay if he goes his
best chances. I keep saying best chance to success is
here because the line of this this windows wide. Ope, ope,

(02:10:24):
and yeah he had he had a hitter yesterday down
O two and then he walked him and after that
it all fell apart from him that second and.

Speaker 5 (02:10:30):
His his his IF if his IF that ability consistently
matched his stuff.

Speaker 6 (02:10:35):
He's winning cy Young. Oh yeah, every year. There's no
doubt he's in the voting every single year.

Speaker 5 (02:10:39):
That IF has got to be.

Speaker 6 (02:10:41):
That's something that he's going to have to learn to
control regularly, not some of the time, all the time, right,
got it? Now, the competitives gets you sometimes you get sideways, right,
how quickly when you go sideways can you get back?

Speaker 5 (02:10:52):
I always attribute stuff to golf.

Speaker 6 (02:10:54):
The best player in the world snaphooks one if if if,
if you're a little bit if, if you're can't get
out of that quickly, you don't win a lot of tournaments.
This guy's got stuff that a lot of people would
would crawl ten miles over broken glass four. And when
the when the above, the next matches his stuff, he's unhittable.

Speaker 5 (02:11:16):
You can't win.

Speaker 6 (02:11:19):
He doesn't mean he's done it a lot this year,
but he's a great front. When he's having success, he's fantastic.
When it gets a little off the train tracks, it
becomes that's when your concern starts to kick in. Some
guys you don't care. Some guys they get off trains.
Matter of fact, some guys pitch better in chaos. They're like, okay,
this dials me in immediately. I've seen quarterbacks do it,

(02:11:40):
football players, man first court, what's wrong with you? And
then all of a sudden something kicks in. It's like
this dude's different frombers. When they both come together consistently
on thirty starts a year, the guy will win a
cy young. The question is when when Ye's talk to
John what's happening to John Hey, cap let me.

Speaker 39 (02:11:58):
Give you a word out there to true La for
being a year here and uh there and taking care
of Sean, with the producing of the commercials and everything.
I tend to disagree with the color right there. It
depends on what he has for. Everybody has their moments,

(02:12:21):
their days, their bad days.

Speaker 13 (02:12:23):
He had one.

Speaker 39 (02:12:24):
Uh, you ain't gonna pay Kyle Tucker, You ain't gonna
pay Bregnant, You ain't gonna pay Yrdart, and you ain't
gonna pay.

Speaker 5 (02:12:31):
Ain't none of them hitting the damn ball?

Speaker 7 (02:12:33):
How many players were left.

Speaker 5 (02:12:34):
On base all again? Eight yesterday? Eight of them? Yeah,
thank you.

Speaker 31 (02:12:40):
That has been the.

Speaker 5 (02:12:42):
Whole damn problem this year. Too many runners left on base.
We got on base and we made this. Yes, he's
gonna win the sal.

Speaker 34 (02:12:51):
Young, He's gonna be the unanimous decision.

Speaker 5 (02:12:54):
But they were there for the taking. It's the same day.

Speaker 7 (02:12:58):
This is the king of this year.

Speaker 39 (02:13:02):
To get to you, Brian Limo, white gloves, larry Tonstle
not red gloves.

Speaker 5 (02:13:12):
N thank you, John Hey.

Speaker 6 (02:13:13):
One thing I do know about yesterday's loss, and Ryan
Mitchell pointed it out, and it's a such a valid
point I think this is something that that we can ride.
I can think we can ride this pony or the
horse whatever you ride a pony or horse, horse exactly.
I I think that this is really Why are you

(02:13:33):
look at me?

Speaker 3 (02:13:33):
Like?

Speaker 5 (02:13:34):
Go ahead?

Speaker 6 (02:13:36):
They had lost for one reason yesterday? I know, I know, yeah,
you know, pitching, hitting, the scoring position, left on bays,
all those things comes down to one thing that if
they fix it, yep, they'll win today. Okay, Dusty's fault.
Oh that's a ry I mean, Ryan, Ryan, j Mitchell.
Usually I think that you can blame it on Dusty. Yeah, somehow.

Speaker 5 (02:14:00):
It's it's they've it's been, it happened before the loss.
Apparently was Maldonado on the dugout yesterday or was he
in the crowd? I mean, it's Dusty's fault. Okay, gotta be,
don't you agree? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (02:14:10):
I mean that's deep an Alice, It is makes makes
sense that Ryan, that's a great line by you, man,
classic Kyle.

Speaker 5 (02:14:18):
Welcome in, so guys, good morning morning.

Speaker 40 (02:14:23):
So I know I know Jake Myers, he plays, he
plays great defense at center field.

Speaker 2 (02:14:27):
But man, we got du bond.

Speaker 40 (02:14:29):
He's a he's a gold glove utility guy, I thow him.
It's centerfield and running platoon out there and left. I
mean we need we need production from the bonnot part
of our lineup. And I trust you at bats from
Hayward to McCormick more than I would trust to add
bats for Myers right now.

Speaker 5 (02:14:43):
And in the playoffs, runs.

Speaker 40 (02:14:45):
Come out of premium, And I mean the deeper you
can make your lineup in the postseason and in general
the Bay your team is and I just seeing Jake Myers,
his at batch are just horrible. And McCormick had a
good at back yesterday. He's been on fire in the
month of September. Hayward's been there, had a great at
bat last night. I mean that that that ball gets down.

(02:15:07):
It's a completely different conversation we're having here this morning.

Speaker 8 (02:15:10):
So just gotta we win.

Speaker 40 (02:15:13):
This game is advantage us and we're going back to
the World Series. I guarantee you so, Ghosts.

Speaker 2 (02:15:19):
Thanks take my call.

Speaker 6 (02:15:20):
I appreciate a lot of work to be done. Heavy
advantage with Kokuchi against their number three. In my opinion,
if you get to they're not getting ahead of ourselves.
But how about this Dubon and centerfield, Jason Heyward and left.
I wouldn't mind it, Promber, I mean, uh, Jordan d
h and k Tucker and right, uh Diaz or Keratina,

(02:15:41):
whoever you want behind the plate. The other one's playing
first base, and then you're bregmant al t ve Panya.
How about how about that lineup? Yeah, I wouldn't mind it.
Jason Ayward's cagy, Yeah he's been there. Yeah, I like
to have him in that lineup today. Yeah, Jake Myers
at bats and du Bon' yesterday just weren't very good.
Who do you trust more to come out of it
quicker offensively? Yeah, Mauricio Dubon. Uh, this is every single

(02:16:06):
hand that's available, finger toe, whatever it is. You gotta
be up, ready to go. I am just not I've
never been a fan of offensive Jake Myers defense. He's
in hell of an outfit off moments, but very good. Yeah,
it's just and it's who he is, I would imagine
now because that's just he's gonna that. That's We've seen
enough trend to say that this is who he is

(02:16:26):
at the plate, give you some good, to give you
some bad, and rest is he's just a pretty mid
offensive player. Yeah, he's but he can play some defense, now,
you sure can. He's got some league defense out there.
All right, let's get to break because we're gonna welcome
in Astro's general manager Dana Brown to the show next.

Speaker 6 (02:17:48):
Yes, and hopefully many many more wednesdays throughout the rest
of this fall for this playoff run Dana Brown, Astro's
GM for his nine thirty weekly visit All right, Dana
b Analysis, do the analysis for me yesterday? Overall thoughts
about your team's performance, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:18:05):
I mean we faced the tough Scuba he was on
last night. Uh, you know, we didn't get anything going
till late and we fell short. You know, this one
of those playoff days. You know. Then we got our
backs against the wall. You know, we got to win
this game today and get out to a good start.
We got Hunter Brown going. We're fired up about that,

(02:18:26):
and so, uh, we feel like we'll turn things around
to a even it up and be ready for the
next one.

Speaker 6 (02:18:33):
Hey, Dana, with Hunter Brown, I mean he's obviously gained
an unbelievable amount of confidence this year and overcame his
early start. And I believe this is his first postseason
start for the Astros. Not performance, but postseason start. Any
reason to think that you talk about the stomach for this,
uh moment too big with playoff baseball or is this
guy ready for this?

Speaker 7 (02:18:56):
He's pitched in the postseason before, you know, even though
this is his first first art. You know, the way
he turned things around this season, you know, added that
two seemer. You know, he's been locked in every since,
so we would expect him to be to be locked
in today and the power that stuff in there and
and get us through six or seven innings and allow

(02:19:19):
us to go to our bullpen and win this game today.

Speaker 6 (02:19:22):
Danny, you talked about grit and resilience all season long.
In a single elimination game, I can't imagine that you
do anything more than you trust these guys one hundred
to get the gig done today.

Speaker 7 (02:19:35):
Yeah? Absolutely, I mean even yesterday I have to face
in the tough scogle you know, these guys grind it
through and that ninth inning and you know, if that
ball Hayward hit his two feet to the side, you know,
two feet to you know, to the line. I mean,
the game is over. He has a score from first
and two feet the other way. You know, it's a

(02:19:56):
tie ball game, you know. So I think these guys
for sure have the rick. You know, they'll get it
done today. You know, I'm not worried in the least.
I think these guys have what it takes, you know, uh,
you know, to get back deep into this postseason.

Speaker 6 (02:20:11):
Dana Brown weekly visit Astros GM down one to zero
here in this wild Card series on a Brown Ghost
Today day game against Detroit joyns US for his weekly
visit Fromber this guy's had a phenomenal season, Dana is, Uh, yesterday,
did you body language anything different for you or did

(02:20:32):
we see the same fromber mentally that we've seen on
this incredible run since he got it right during the season.

Speaker 7 (02:20:40):
Yeah, I almost felt like Frombert, you know, stright the
pitch yesterday. Instead of powering his stuff in the in
the strike zone, he's fell into that pitchability guy as
opposed to cutting it loose, let the fastball play, you know,
ninety five to ninety seven, with the heavy sink that
he has. I thought he got into like a pitching

(02:21:01):
mode and got away from the power stuff, the aggressiveness,
you know, and and so ultimately, you know, it's that
one bad inning. You know, that's what happens in the postseason.
You can't have that that inning where you give up
multiple runs, you know, especially when you're facing you know,
a tough school bro. It's tough to score off them,

(02:21:23):
and it's tough to bounce back.

Speaker 6 (02:21:25):
Hey, Dana, with that, do you mentioned I think and
for fans listening in discussing this, was he too cute
yesterday instead of just letting it rip?

Speaker 5 (02:21:33):
Is that basically where we're headed with this what you
were talking about.

Speaker 7 (02:21:37):
No, I don't think it's a matter of being too cute.
I just think sometimes pitchers know they know how to pitch,
and they they they sometimes rely on their pitchability as
opposed to their raw ability, right, And I think he
started to pitch instead of powering it through the zone

(02:21:57):
and just going after guys. You know, he fell into
pitchability over his raw ability.

Speaker 6 (02:22:03):
Do you trust? Do you trust? As the age of
the staff. Do you trust that his mental toughness matches
his physical skill set? Oh?

Speaker 7 (02:22:13):
Absolutely? I mean fromber you know, there's zero question about it.
You know, his mental toughness, competitiveness or anything like that.
You know, the stuff that he has, the you know,
the the innings that he's logged for this organization, you know,
the wins that he's had, he's had in this organization.

(02:22:34):
You know, it's just a matter of you know, letting
him know. Hey, you know, let's let's let's cut it loose.
Let's not fall into pitchability. Let's go through what's your
raw ability, cut it loose and leave it all out there.

Speaker 6 (02:22:49):
Well, that conversation we had or hasn't been had with
Hunter Brown before this start, will it be had early?
I mean when they lock in and get to the ballpark,
they're in their own mode and doing their thing. But
Hunter Brown's got over powering stuff. Is there a part
of you that wants to discuss with him making sure
that he does get into that throw your stuff and
let it rip?

Speaker 7 (02:23:08):
Yeah? I think Brown under Brown's never really had that
issue in terms of, you know, starting to fall into
pitch ability.

Speaker 6 (02:23:18):
Ye.

Speaker 7 (02:23:18):
If you notice Brown always cut it loose it. I
mean he's aggressive on every single pitch, and so you know,
I think Frowner on the other hand, he could he's
such a good pitcher that sometimes he'll fade into that
pitchability stuff, playing a little down, you know, instead of
just cutting it loose and let your roll ability to

(02:23:39):
take over. Brown on the other hand, I mean, it's
it's it's hair on here's on fire from from pitch one,
and I mean I think he goes after it. He
throws every single pitch, you know hard. I mean he
cuts it loose.

Speaker 6 (02:23:54):
Astros GM data Brown for his weekly Wednesday visit. Here,
Astro's down one game to none. But they seeing this
movie when it comes to having to have the grit
and toughness swell for the last eight years and today
is no different. Dana, there's a there's a fine line,
and I'd like to have explained how how we go
about this as fans and media and even your team.
The difference between being aggressive, which I know you love,

(02:24:16):
but also being selective and patient to work the count
in a single elimination game.

Speaker 5 (02:24:22):
How do you have the where do you fall in
between the two?

Speaker 6 (02:24:25):
How do you get them to stay aggressive, but also
be patient to where they're not waving in non competitive pitches.

Speaker 29 (02:24:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:24:33):
Absolutely, it's a fine line. I think one of the
things we have to do is make sure we get
our pitch early in the count. And if you don't
get your pitch, take it, like, make the picture work.
Even if he throws your strike early, that's not in
an area where you want it. Make him pitch, Make
him throw some more pitches, make them work a little bit.

(02:24:55):
You know, a couple of times yesterday we had you know,
Schoogle had two five pitch in it, you know, and
that you know sort of you know that that you know,
maybe we could have got him, gotten him to run
out of gas a little sooner, you know, had we
work those counts a little bit better in those two innings.
But the two the two five pitch innings, you know,
that's ten pitches and two innings, and you know that's

(02:25:17):
going to help them the cruise along where you've got
to get you know, you got to get those guys
to throw a little bit, throw more pitches, make sure
that you know, you get your pitch before you take
that swing. And it's okay to take a strike if
it's not in your area your sweet spot sort of speak. Yep,
it's okay to take it, you know, if it's down

(02:25:37):
and away at the knees, take that, you know, Uh,
give him an opportunity to make a mistake and then
you can do damage.

Speaker 6 (02:25:45):
Yeah, really hard to do damage with with you mentioned
those ten pitches and two innings with a sniper like Schooble.
You just can't give great players that many or that
minimal opportunity where he's in and out and getting that
rest that he needs, no doubt, Dana Brown for a
couple more minutes here on Wednesday, Danny, you know, this
team as good as anybody. Where's where's Jeremy Paine's head
right now? He's had phenomenal success his rookie year in

(02:26:06):
the postseason. We know that well documented. Where's his head
right now?

Speaker 7 (02:26:11):
Yeah? I think he's the prime example of locking in.
You know, I think Jeremy he hurts himself when he
chases a little earlier at that slider ball, you know,
the pitch off the plate, you know, the fastball up.
I think Jeremy has to get locked in on his pitch.
He's one of the prime examples of you know, you

(02:26:32):
know what we're discussing right now. If Jeremy Pinya can
just lock in to that pitch that he knows is
in his sweet spot and just take take everything else,
and if they give you that pitch, then do damage.
Turn loose, And I think he gets so amped up
and he wants to do so much, and he knows
that he's so capable of doing damage that he gets

(02:26:57):
a little two anxious and he chases early in account data.

Speaker 6 (02:27:02):
Brown for a couple more questions here on Sports Talk
seven ninety for his weekly visit here on the Sean
Salisbury Show. How important, Dana. We talk about fans, and
we were discussing earlier. You know, the the energy and
a building and the energy to make it difficult on
the opposing team, let alone uplift your team overrated, underrated

(02:27:23):
early game energy from fans.

Speaker 7 (02:27:27):
Yeah, we need early game energy. But you know, we
got to give him a little something to cheer about.
You know, we we can score some runs early and
get those pitchers on their heels a little bit. I think,
you know, we have a chance to open up the
floodgates in these next two games, you know, but you
know we're gonna have to get to them early. And
the way we're gonna have to do it is we're

(02:27:47):
gonna have to, you know, look for our pitch and
then do damage. Allow this guy to throw a little
bit more pitches, give him an opportunity to get the
pitch count up, and then we could do damage. I
think that's how we're going to have to do it.

Speaker 6 (02:28:03):
What's what's the lineup looked like today? Any changes from yesterday?

Speaker 5 (02:28:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (02:28:08):
I mean I think, you know, Joe, we'll probably go
with a similar lineup, you know, facing the left e.
You know, not sure how long the left he will go,
so you know, you don't want to make too many
changes too soon. But I'm sure he's probably gonna have
a left hand line a right handed hitting lineup for
the most part early and then you know he'll take

(02:28:29):
it from there based on who they bring in, who
they feel are available, who they think can throw more
pitches so that we can get the matchups right and.

Speaker 5 (02:28:38):
Data with this. I'll let you go on this. I
know you've got a lot.

Speaker 6 (02:28:40):
Well, first off, how's your how's your You talk about
the stomach for this. You've been around a lot of
great teams and your team and we've laughed about it.

Speaker 5 (02:28:47):
H how's your stomach feel today?

Speaker 3 (02:28:49):
Mom?

Speaker 5 (02:28:49):
Man, how you feeling?

Speaker 7 (02:28:51):
Yeah, yeah, I feel pretty good. You know, I feel
great in at nineteen and I looked at the guys
in the box, you know, when we started to rally,
and I just looked at them and said, look, I
love postseason baseball. It's nothing like it. And you know,
so my stomach is good, my heart great, it is good.
I feel like the team is gonna be good and
we're gonna be all right.

Speaker 11 (02:29:10):
You know.

Speaker 7 (02:29:10):
It's a big game today though. We have to get today,
as you know. And and so I feel good about
our chances, particularly with Hunter Brown going out there. You know,
he's been an ace for us all year for the
most part, you know, once he turned the corner. Uh. So,
I feel really good about where we are today.

Speaker 5 (02:29:27):
Let me let me leave you with this.

Speaker 6 (02:29:28):
You're back to Hunter Brown and you talk about how
phenomenal he's been since the early season started, just from
doing his thing. He looks like an ace. How with
with with single with elimination, you know, pending hopefully this
goes on for more weeks. What what's the patience level
or the leash with a starting pitcher like this. I mean,
because that is another slippery slope, you know, if he's

(02:29:50):
kicking around walks to How long is the leash with
a guy like Hunter Brown today?

Speaker 7 (02:29:56):
Yeah, I think most of the time managers have a
shorter least during the post, you know, because they have
a lot of pitchers, you know, well rested and ready
to go, and so you know, ultimately I would think,
you know, Brown's gonna throw. Well, I don't. I'm not
really worried about it, you know, but for for example,
if something happens early, and I think Joe feels like,

(02:30:17):
if you've got to go get him, he'll go get him.
But we're not anticipating that, you know, We're anticipating Brown
to go out and you know, have a good start
and uh, you know, give us six or seven innings
and then we can go to the bullpen, you know,
with the lead, and and and and and and force
a game three.

Speaker 5 (02:30:34):
Did you have any problem with Hater pitching when he
did yesterday?

Speaker 7 (02:30:39):
No, I mean that, you know, it's Joe a spotter's call.
I think, you know, part of the thought process, you know,
as I thought thought through it is, Look, he knows
what kind of offense that we have. He knows that
we're a comeback team. He knows that it's a three
run lead. And you know what, when you're in the
three if you if you keep that three run lead,
you're it's a matter of getting two guys on base

(02:31:00):
in a home run. And I think what he was
basically trying to do is.

Speaker 5 (02:31:05):
Keep the lead at three reachable.

Speaker 7 (02:31:07):
Don't let this thing get away from us. Yeah, don't
let it get the four runs because now you got
to load the bases and things like that, and so
it's a lot a lot more pressure on their pitcher
if you know, it's a three run lead, we got
two guys on base, and so you know, keeping that
lead at three, you know, and I think all these
guys are going to be available for the next two

(02:31:29):
days as well. We're going to have a day off,
you know, on Friday, if we can get this thing done. So,
you know, I understand, you know why he did it,
you know, but you know, ultimately, you don't do that
in the course of one hundred and sixty two game season,
but in the postseason and you want to keep it.

(02:31:49):
You want to keep the lead at three. You keep
the lead at three you give your guys a chance
and you take it from there.

Speaker 6 (02:31:56):
And I think we all feel good, and I know
you do to day in about if you get the
game three, which what you will the Kokuchi. They'd be
hard pressed to find a number three in the playoffs
that's pitched as well as him the second half of
the season. So I would imagine confidence grows big time
if you get him at home in Game three with
him on the mound.

Speaker 7 (02:32:15):
Absolutely, this game on. We get this game today. We
feel really good about the way Kakuchi has thrown for
us since we've picked them up and acquired him from Toronto.
And you know, you give Kakuchi that ball in Game three,
the way he's been throwing, we feel really good about
our chances.

Speaker 6 (02:32:32):
Damn right, Dana, good luck, hope the ballparks rocking today.
Relax and enjoy it.

Speaker 5 (02:32:36):
Brother.

Speaker 6 (02:32:36):
You don't have to pick up a bat. They'll take
care of their business. It's all good and we look
forward to more baseball talk as the playoffs continue for
the Astros next Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (02:32:44):
My man, we appreciate you.

Speaker 7 (02:32:47):
Absolutely bring the energy, Astro fans.

Speaker 6 (02:32:49):
Let's go there, you go, Dana Brown, Astros GM will
come back and discuss we wrap it up elimination game today,
stay alive and then go eliminate him tomorrow with the
best number three in the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (02:33:00):
Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 6 (02:33:01):
I had lived back there for the Sean Sellsbury Show
continued Take two quick calls for me on the show. Marvin,
you're up first, Good morning, Hey guys.

Speaker 41 (02:33:12):
I wanted to congratulate your product there. Man, he has
done a great job for the year. I told him,
being all but but real quick, like, I had two
friends they, you know, back when I was hanging my
hat on making you know, in the NLCS, just getting
to the postseason in the eighties and eighty six and
so forth, and they were from making Chargia and they
said to him the run they didn't even start showing
up to the NLCS. The point being is, you know,

(02:33:35):
a Major League Baseball didn't give us any favors giving
us these DAYGA and people. We're in times where people
got to work. I understand, you know, they and data
in them know that and in Jim Crane, and it's unfortunate.
But if there's any team, and like Miss Carroll would
say it myself, is a resilient and bout fact we
weren't a flash in a pan. We want a one
year wonder like the Rangers. And and if there's any

(02:33:57):
team that can come back, and hey who how many
teams would have made close yesterday and and you know
not many were the fair the way Scribble was throwing.
So you know that if there's any team that can
bounce back today, it's the Strokes and my make a
runner and everybody should know that. I mean the hell, look,
game of interest, where the ball goes a little, it
was hitter. That game could have changed on the dime

(02:34:18):
yesterday and know that that would have really demorilized the Tigers.
So there's no shame in that game.

Speaker 5 (02:34:24):
Thank you, Marvin. Let's get to a Reggie. Reggie last
call the show.

Speaker 12 (02:34:27):
Good morning, Hey guys, how's it going. I just want
to say to the your last caller was a point
on with what he said, and they shawing and grind
last week when Jay called, he said A. J. Hinch
will be playing chess and the manager for the Strollers
will be playing checkers. That seemed like I hate to
say that he was point on with it, but man,

(02:34:49):
I hate to hear him call this week if it
doesn't go this way, but I believe that stros we'll
pull it off. And lastly, you gave the acronyms for
a BBW, and you know I'm gonna give you mine.
Out of my uh my dictionary, b b W is
always big booty women or bad bill women.

Speaker 7 (02:35:06):
Think you.

Speaker 5 (02:35:10):
You know we all for the first one, right, yes? Yeah?
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:35:14):
Chandler Rome this morning, a couple of minutes ago reporting
you say, Kakushi said that he was told a few
days ago that he may be used in Game two.
He is available out of the bullpen today, but would
start Game three tomorrow if one happens. So you're telling
me he could give you six outs or three outs
or six outs today and then come back and start tomorrow.
I guess let's just say you use him for three innings.

(02:35:38):
See to me, he's the only guy that wouldn't be
hands on deck. And I get what Chandler saying, one
hundred percent, But if it's three to three in the six,
you're using him. No, If it's three to four to
four to one in the six in favor of the Astros,
you're using him.

Speaker 7 (02:35:50):
No.

Speaker 6 (02:35:50):
I wouldn't I tell you that you don't trust the
bullpen he ain't pitching, because let's say he does pitch
and throws thirty five pitches. Yep, then tomorrow do you
start Renelle Blanco after using him in yesterday's bullpen?

Speaker 5 (02:36:04):
I would assume they would start Spencer or Spencer Arraghetty.
And then doesn't that disrupt.

Speaker 6 (02:36:10):
The Saturday Yes, and all kinds of others. Yeah, that
would mean Verlander starts the opening on Saturday. Would have
to yes, because you got to kick the divisional series.
But there would have to be something short. I mean,
it had to have to be major, major issues to
put Kakuchi in the game.

Speaker 5 (02:36:26):
I agree.

Speaker 6 (02:36:27):
I need him for games because I think this team
is good enough to win Game two. I hope what
we don't see is like a pressed decision desperate. Yes,
if you want to. If it's desperate, they're gonna be
in trouble anyway.

Speaker 5 (02:36:40):
Yeah, exactly. I hope not Astro's baby have a good day.
Gotta win to like extend the wild Cards to a
game three. Whoa, whoa, you guys call that's got to
be racist.

Speaker 6 (02:36:52):
Yeah, it's about time you stepped on board realized we're
not playing that damn Yeah that song. Nat So I've
been trying to tell you for months now. Really yeah,
really really.

Speaker 5 (02:37:03):
They have a great one. Have a bitching something at
the beach. Do all right? Hey, sign my yearbook.
