Astros Lose Opener To Royals, Rockets Lottery Pick, Belichick's 1 on 1 Interview

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Okay, let's do this.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Shawn Salisbury to usc Troupe's longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Dan Matthew, excuse,
this is the Sean Salisbury show.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Here's the one one that's ripped up the middle snag
by the second basement. Massy on the back end goes
to second out over the first base double play.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Wow. Wow, ridiculous play.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
By Massey the second basement on the back end. How
he came up with that?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
That was unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
And the Royals are able to send the Astros packet
here in the third inning. Wow, what a play on defense.
First pitch curve and that's pulled into the corner. She
goes and that's fair. Myers will touch home, descendso racing
for second base.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
And it's back to for the Astros. That's Descenzo's sixth.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
The one on of Myers brown ball through the right side,
that's a pay sit that'll score DS. Caratini stops at
third and now the ball gets away for Waters and
Carratini will come in to score.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Myers goes to second.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Seven to four Kansas City at RBI single for Myers
in an error by Waters, allowing another run to score.
The pitch and that's flared in the center. Easy play
for Isabel coming in makes the catch and that is
the ball game. Astros make a game of it, but
the Royals hold on for a seven to five victories.

(01:38):
Kansas City takes the first game of this three game series,
and that's how it goes.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
Last night, Astro's falling to open up their series against
the Royals, and away we go here on the Sean
Salisbury Show, as it doesn't go their way last night.
Neither did the NBA Draft lottery for the Rocket, How
would you like pick number ten?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
That's what you get.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
And then a team with a one point eight percent
chance to win the draft lottery, the Dallas Mavericks. They
get bailed out for ineptitude. After all that, yes, exactly,
after all that. Now, now the general matters is a
genius because the ball landed in the hopper their favor.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I mean, how's that? The world works in mysterious ways.

Speaker 6 (02:23):
You make one of the trade, You're like, this trade
ended up just sucking, and then all of a sudden,
Cooper flag lands in your lap.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well was it one point one eight percent?

Speaker 5 (02:37):
And then they had a better chance to get what
the Rockets got than the Rockets had for them to
be able to win the draft lottery. They had almost
two percent better of a chance to win the number
one pick than the Dallas Mavericks. But uh yeah, purely coincidental.
Purely coincidental, that's all it is.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, it was not rigged, Dan.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
It goes back to the fact that you know what,
you know, they say the Mavericks prayed a little harder.
You know, it's always my favorite. You know what somebody's
like and prayers for the team. Well, the other team's
praying too well.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
I think Sunday what was one of the first addresses.
I don't even think it was a full on mass,
But Pope Leo did mention Dallas, Texas, So I mean twice.
Now Pope Leo has done us and here first first
with Jeff Blum and the White Sox and O five
and now that.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
And guess what he does that You got to take notice, Well,
who's picking the first in the NBA draft again, Dan,
Dallas Mavericks. Yeah, much to the disdain or to the sugar,
much to your sugar is good word. Good way to
start the day with the word chagrin. Not the way
to start the day. If you Cooper Flaggs four hours

(03:48):
down the road, it'd be nice to have. And then
you're the tenth pick in a normal But think about this,
if it's if the NBA draft was like normal, they'd
be picking a lot lower than that, you know what
I mean, because of all the trades I'm talking about.
If it was I'm talking about if the trade was
just responsible for last to first, first to last, you know,

(04:09):
the old school way.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
And I'm not about one of the eight.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
Hundred trades they you know, assets they got through all
the trades they made. I'm just talking about normally, if
it was, oh man, you made it to the playoffs,
they'd be picking even lower. So I mean, the blessing
in this is you get a trade from saying, you know,
this is a piece an asset from somebody else, but
you would like to have it about nine picks higher
if possible. But you'll take it because it's an asset

(04:33):
that you'll you can use and you never know, end
up being a star who the hell knows traded traded.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Well, you've got it.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
You've got to not have to if you want the
guy in Milwaukee. You've got a team full of role players.
You don't need another guy that. First of all, they're
not even gonna be part of the team this year.
They're gonna be down in Rio Grand for the most part,
for what we saw last year. To read Shepherd, and
I mean, yes, it is a better draft than it
was the year before. But still, I mean it, you'd

(05:00):
be much better off by trying to go out and
find offensive help.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
And maybe this helps you.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
Accumulating these assets do help. I mean, you'd love it
if it was higher, but it's another asset. Let's put
it that way, to use as you're talking about, to
go and try and get the whatever that when I say,
the final, the piece to the puzzle that takes them
to another level.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
So so Bomber.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
The Dallas fans got to be thinking, what the range
of emotions? But you know, damn well, the first thing
everybody thought or is thinking is exactly what you said. Oh,
just coincidental, huh. After all that went on with Luca,
the Anthony Davis trade and all that talk the general
manager of Rough Times, all the talk about casinos and

(05:43):
why the ownership and Dallas has got the ownership as
opposed to why they bought it.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
The first place. And we know, damn well, it's not
just about the NBA for them. You ever heard of
a complex with all kinds of amenities in a casino
and hotels and of course that's all. That's all. We
into this whole thing. And here they are, damn sitting
on top of the world right now.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
And I mean last night on Twitter too, I see
one of the Dallas reporters. I guess they caught up with,
you know, the team owner. I think it was on
a conference call, and uh they were like, you know,
what were you doing when you found out? He was like, oh,
is that my daughter's track meet? And my response was,
oh please, that's literally a scene in Landman, Stop it,

(06:27):
stop it.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
All right man? Coincidence? Is Dan say it again? What
scene are we talking about?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Landman? Just just overall like, which oh it was?

Speaker 5 (06:37):
What was it when Billy Bob Thornton's character was on
the phone with John Hamm and his daughter is running
a track meet she was at TCU and he's like.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
He's like, excuse me for a second. She's running right,
goo goo goo, and Debbie's out there chairing her right. Yeah,
that's and the daughters, yep.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
That's exactly right out there in Fort Worth.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, man for.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
Worth over Dallas by the way, like it, I mean,
actually such a frigging hater man. Well, I mean it's
just I actually like the people over there much more
then I'll like the people who are a little bit
further down.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Was at thirty when what connects the two go?

Speaker 6 (07:12):
Do you go thirty thirty five? You got thirty thirty
five forty five, which leads you ended downtown. Yeah, coming
in from Houston, and then you probably somehow someway want
to get on that Dallas North Tollway. Now, if you've
never been in the road, yeah, but the first time
I went, I'll never said, hey, get on the Dallas heads,
head north on the Dallas North Tollway, and then when

(07:35):
you come back, you'll head south on the Dallas North Tollway.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'm like, that doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 6 (07:40):
Well, it's it's not called the Dallas Tollway, it's the
Dallas North toll Way. So when you go on it,
you can go south on the North Tollway. And it's like,
did they mess up? Is this just the Dallas Tollway
of heading south? Or you go north on the Dallas
North tollway. But what happens when you got to flip
a you and go back south because you missed your turn,

(08:01):
Well you're going south on the North tollway, and it
can be confusing. Dan, Just like you're disdained for, like
Jimmy the toy cannon.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Win, I don't have I don't know why.

Speaker 6 (08:11):
This morning I felt that you're you're you're disdained for
Bob Watson and the toy cannon Jimmy winning.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I have zero disdained for either.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
The reason Watson was the architect of what actually got
the Astros to winning in the mid nineties.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
That's it. That's it, That's what it was. Yeah, but
it was the first term.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
Yeah, I felt you're disdain for Watson and Jimmy the
toy cannon win from the loss yesterday.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
I don't know how you brought him together, but there
was just this feeling that you blamed it on Jimmy
Winning Bob Watson I did.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
I did no such thing.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
I didn't see every single time I go there.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
Yeah, yeah, he was blame it on your right because
he's nothing in the cages.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
That's another thing too, It's like I saw that yesterday,
and I was like, of course they're hitting in he's
hitting in the cages.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Everybody's always hitting in the cage. You got hitting the cages?
Do I get it? But what the lead though? Are
we Dallas? What about it?

Speaker 6 (09:12):
Just how frustrated you are that they got to pick Yeah? Yeah, daughter,
Come on, man, you know the one point eight chances.
You knew that, you know what was happening.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
I did not see that happening. What what I saw
possibly happening was somehow.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
The Spurs are gonna end up with this.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
Oh. I think most people felt that, right mm hmm,
team that guy with. I mean, there's no chance flags
not the first pick, is there? I know there's a
couple of it. You would think not.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
You would probably hope this time, if you're Nico Johnson,
that you might say someone to listen to the fans.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
But I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
Look, it would make me none the happier if if
he decided to try to sell to the fan base. Well,
you know, we valued this guy a lot more and
go with I don't know, name another player in the draft.
Probably can't. I mean, that's the whole thing. This, This
is nipple. I was gonna say cohnk nipple, but probably not.

(10:08):
But I mean, that's that's about it as far as
my NBA draft knowledge goes, other than a few guys
that I saw during the in double Do you.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Think it comes back to your disdain for Sasar Sadenia.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
I don't have any disdain for Sa Sar Sadenia. As
a matter of fact, I put proper respect on Tripley.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Don't you remember when you walked in this morning when
you heard him say, I cannot believe we lost yesterday
because of because of Ardenia? What about and and Hart? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (10:36):
Walking, Andrew Hart walking? But I always remember Andrew Harsden. Yeah,
but your disdain is is probably it's palpable.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
Dan.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
I was shocked when you texted me yesterday and said,
you know what, if they lose today, it's Jimmy Winn's fault.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
I didn't. I didn't understand, that's what I said. And
I said that it was Casey Candell's fault.

Speaker 6 (10:58):
Get it right, you did, and then you started throwing
nicknames out, like you know, the toy Cannon.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm like, man, you really really.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
John t Agelosi's fault or even brief astro Andy Stankowitz,
who is the head baseball coach at your school?

Speaker 7 (11:11):
Now?

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Do you mean the Trojans?

Speaker 6 (11:13):
You damn nationally rank truck damn right, not to be
confused with U. Who did you say with John Candelaria?
You mentioned no, But I'm just sigured. I just throw
him in there because he's a Pittsburgh pirate. Okay, so
I just didn't there. Manager just get fired Dereck Shelton, right,

(11:34):
You probably you probably hated Richie Hebner.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
That's why is that h U E b E This
Hebner was h b h Okay?

Speaker 6 (11:43):
Okay, yeah, maybe it was a Richie zis that you
were pissed off about. I don't know, but you know, listen, Dan,
it's okay. They didn't lose because the toy cannon yesterday.
It will be nice if they had some cannons.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Though.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
He hit the ball at the ballpark that was that
would have been instead of the warning track power that
we It's just it's every single time, man, It's just
like as soon as you see it and you're like, oh,
it's got a chance.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
No, no it doesn't. So you think his teams filled
right now with warning track power.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
And they have to lead the league, and it's there's
there's no other way. It's it's unbelievable. Yeah, and it's
just you know, like last night, what was it? Peretis
gets underneath one and don't even get me started on
that double play.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Have you been that? That was the ultimate? Well look
what I found. Have you been tracking home runs for them?
Have you been tracking any of it? Well?

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Yeah, of course, I mean for doing the pre imposed
but I mean it's a it's a daily occurrence.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I wanted you to be a favorite track. These nuts.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
Got an opening segment, you waltz right into it. I did, Yeah,
I did.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah. God is it how many times we got your
ass so far? That's three times, it's three times.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
Yeah, week and half yeah, one day today you just
doubled down. Yeah yeah, hang in there though, it's all right.
There's only one way to go, and that's you know, yeah,
the seller.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
You're gonna get out.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
A buddy of mine, he likes to share this story
of a buddy of his just lost his stack at
the blackjack table.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
When they're out in Vegas. He goes, I can't get
any worse.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
Right before he goes to the ATM, he grabbed his
arm and goes it can always get worse.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Let's go to the bar. Yeah, there you go. There
you go. You can always get more special way to
go to the ATM. And you thought there was one,
they get it. You forgot that when you were drunk.
He took out more. It just got worse. There you go.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
Well, I mean the best on that too is if
you know your married joint joint, big account, and that's
where it's probably the next morning, because you know two
hours ahead that you get the call and it's like
you pulled.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Out that much money. Oh yeah, I'm sure mom would
get all over.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
Oh yeah, the honey dews are plenty when you get
back from.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
That, I'm telling you, and wallet watching like crawd Yeah,
watsas got him.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
That's like a buddy of mine though once told me.
His his full proof system is he he puts together
an envelope of cash to go out there, just so
you know he knows what he's got. Is that when
he knows in advance that he's going to be going
that he'll do the cash back, like you know, go
to the grocery store, all of that.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
So you're twenty here, forty there before you know you've
you've accumulated yourself and you're going to go simply known
these parts. Dan is hush hush money.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
Yeah, yeah right, it's a flush fund. Yeah yeah. I
mean what goes on in Vegas stays Vegas. And the
twenty dollars cash backs twenty dollars cash back, Yeah, I mean,
what goes in your wallet stays in Vegas.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
That's between me and Tammy and h That's damn right.
It's none of your business. That's exactly to ask about it.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's right. What's your problem? What do you made up? Questions?

you're dis're's your disdained for the Wardy track power right,
massive disdain for that. There was no conuco gusta disdain there.
You're blamed by the fact that you blamed everything on

heard that right this.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Morning before the show started.

Speaker 6 (18:02):
Yeah, and then you come back and you didn't put
any respect on the song come on, and yeah, yeah,
there there's disdain there. And now you've opened up with
disdain for Cooper Flag. You you hate Cooper Flag because
of the Mavericks. It's racist.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
I don't much disdain for him now because of you know,
thank you for for Duke too, because right now I
hate Duke. I don't need anything. You hate Whitey, I
gotta I got a und my family, all right, Oh yeah,
you love powder Blue tar Hill Blue. There you go,
And then what's your last disdain? And you just had Oh,
you're disdained.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
For the NBA playoffs and complete that you don't even
want to watch the greatest athletes in the world play.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
To watch the Thunder against the Pacers and the NBA
Finals which will which will be a ratings bonanza. It's
gonna be Yeah, that's it's it's gonna it's it's gonna kill.
I sound like Bill killed. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (19:01):
Think about the good the talent though that they're playing
with and really good seasons and if it gets to
that point where you've got shake Gilgess, Alexander versus Jalen Brunson,
Isaiah Hart and s right, I mean, it's gonna You're
gonna be like a former Rocket by the way, You're
gonna be like, man, you won't watch any of it.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
You won't even watch a guy get dunked on.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
It's if it's on, then sure, But I mean I'm
not going to go out of my way, Like if
the Astros are playing at the same time, it's the Astros.
I mean, hell, vander Pump Rules. If it's on at
the same time, Vander watch vander Pump Rules. Yeah, although
I don't even know if vander Pump Rules is still
around anymore, but you get my point.

Speaker 6 (19:40):
I do completely a lot of it's just now it's
vander pump Villa. Your name's Danny, Lisa is over in Italy.
Disdain Danny.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
That's it without the rockets.

Speaker 6 (19:50):
Damn right, ladies and gentlemen, It's a shot at Salas
Ratio with disdained y.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah. I like it. Maybe we get it to stick.
I think so.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
I think so it's got it's got some staying power.
I disdained Dandy. Yeah, I'm fine with it. Yeah, it's
actually got a ring to it.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
You know, do you feel me? Tripoli?

Speaker 6 (20:08):
I like that one and his biggest estate for he
hates Whitey, which is your hatred for a six or
nine guy who can play the two.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Maybe they'll you know.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
I think it's just it's the undershirts. Like you know,
once you get to a certain level, you don't go
undershirt anymore.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
See I'm different. I'm different on that. I'm a matter
of fact. Sometimes when you're like having one, I go
long sleeve undershirt. Like if you're like you're playing with
the you're at the Georgetown Hoyas, you wear the old
school you know shoes they used to wear, like the
gray with the blue nikes. When when John Thompson was there,
and the big fellow Patrick Ewing was there, and you

(20:43):
go the Sometimes it's the short sleeves, like the gray
short sleeves under that Georgetown uniform. But then you go
like the long sleeve slate gray on the road, where
it's like shooting sleeves, but it's a long sleeve like
you know those, and then you go off.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I actually one of those guys that we had to wear.

Speaker 6 (21:04):
We couldn't wear a T shirt under. But I like
the T shirt like cotton or like eighty twenty cotton Polly.
I like that, like the vintage T shirt feel on
my skin far more than I do just the jersey.
So I would now if I was back to playing
high school where you could, I would be one of those,
like the tight undershirt, short sleeve or one of those

(21:28):
long sleeve, depending on I don't know if you were
feeling it, because I liked long sleeves under my jersey
as a quarterback, even when it was eighty degrees out,
so I'd actually liked the sleeves underneath it. I don't
think it's like when you go from you know, Scotty
to Scott or Jimmy to jim right, the mature I'm
one of those guys. I would if I was going
back in high school now, I would wear the jersey,

(21:49):
the short sleeve shirt and long sleeve shirt under my jersey.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
See, Like, it's it's interesting you bring that up of
like you know Jimmy's or you know Scotti's or things like.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
That when they become the formal. I was gonna say, like, when.

Speaker 5 (22:01):
Does that happen, like for Scotty Scheffler, Like when's he
gonna finally just be never? By the way, guys, I'm
Scott Scheffler. That's not happening because Scott. I think maybe
Scotty Scheffler. Is there a chance it's Scotty Scheffler on
the birth certificate.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
S C O T T Y. Is there a chance
that it's I? He's an I guy? Is his Pippo
a Y guy? Or is he an I guy? He's
an I E too. Yeah, there's another basketball player.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
Isn't there a Skott a form of an NBA former
NBA player with this with a Y ending No, I
think we can know that maybe that's Scooter No any regardless,
So he is an guy Scott Scott Skyles right, there
was no Scotty there, yeah, playing he played like a
Scott Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
I mean and he also too, I mean he had
the receiving airlines.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
So may looked when he was twenty exactly doing assists
like he'd been like like he was a high schooler,
played against like fourth graders at the boys club.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, like give you twenty a night.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
Yeah, Scott up on the Florida You're like, this guy
can't hoop? Did you find out pretty quickly? Oh damn,
this guy?

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Who's this balding dude? I'm twenty four and he too.
He took you the rack with it and then like
did like crossover spin hit with the left hand. You're like,
and then he's like getting the ball to people out
on their spot. He has like thirty assists in the
games and eight points. But Scott skyles for you, I
can't stop this exactly what he walked to the gym,
he like picked him last and then he completely dominated

(23:23):
the gym. But I I don't think the Scheffler. I
think Scotty. We need to do a double take or check.
I'm wondering if that's a birth certificate name.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
See, Like there was a guy that I knew in
high school who went by Teddy. Yeah, so I mean,
like now I gotta believe he's got to go by
just say, oh well, see I go even one step further,
it's a thel it is hey man, Like I don't
call Ted Bundy's longer Ted Bundy was ever a Teddy Bundy?

Speaker 6 (23:53):
Probably not when you know he was luring women to
the car he was nine. Yeah, maybe the Teddy Bundy
I call him. He's all Ted all the time. But
does THEO fit for him? No, No, he's not endearing whatsoever. Yeah,
so the so theo's endearing to you kind of right? Yeah,
like Ted sounds like just like abrasive to him, right,

(24:16):
like to it's just all even though I like that Ted, Yeah,
most most teds.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:22):
I don't think when Scheffler's fifty five on the Senior Tour,
if he's playing, I don't think we're gonna call him
Scott Scott Scheffler.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
I don't. I don't think.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
I mean, do we calls like Stuart Sink st Now
or Sue would have been the younger one, right, is
the formal one?

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean I have a distrust
for people who go by Stu.

Speaker 6 (24:47):
See Daddy just disdained daddy. Now he doesn't. Now he
hates guys with the name sue you.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
What's your name? I mean the only thing that's even
worse is Stuie. What are you a baby on family guy?

Speaker 6 (25:00):
What is wrong with you? How could you hate Stewie?
I got a buddy of my name Stu, and he's
a good dude. But you, like you just said what
you say?

Speaker 1 (25:08):
You don't trust a guy named Stu. Yeah, okay, introduce yourself.
Hey man, how you doing. I heard you on the radio.

that's that's where you do the the kind of like
look away handshake.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
You're like, you're like, hey, very nice to meet you.

a guy with the name Stu. You absolutely do not
trust Stu. That's wrong exactly. I got a buddy name Stu. Yeah,
but I don't know what's Yeah. He is a good guy.
I don't know said rules and exceptions for everything. I
just don't think Scotty Scheffer goes to Scott that's fair,
you know what I'm saying. It's we got we got

(26:15):
to do just a deep dive into his the is
that a nickname that he was Scotty? Scotty Corporate wants
to send me out to Quaile Hall. I can go
ask this week. By the way, when when you hit
a certain age, like do you drop the I E
and this in the last T. Actually no, I guess
you'd still have.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
To T real quick. I got Astin called it. He said,
what about Jimmy, I don't want Jimmy's Jim. Well, if
you once you hit a certain level of Jimmy, if
you go from jim you mean Jimmy to jim. If
you go from Jimmy and you stay Jimmy like past forty,
you're in the mafia. You're a mob.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Probably he'll get you're you're not you're or you're you're
an athlete. You know, it's got the Jimmy like Jimmy
Win and Jimmy there you go. But when you're jim
But if you stayed Jimmy pass like forty, we all
of a sudden got a check if you're a Gambino
family guy.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, well, oh that's Jimmy,
oh Boston. Jimmy sitting at the bar in Boston, right
for getting ready to go to a day game, watching
the day game Red Sox play, and and and and
cussing at the screen. Good irish, you know, Jimmy and Ashton.
That's exactly right. Yeah, I grew up with him over
there in Southeast Action.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
Yeah, there you go. Yeah, Jimmy, So we found that
out in Black Mass there you go. Yeah, good movie.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
It is a great movie. Really good man. Old Johnny
Depp did a hell of a job as Whitey Bowlder.
All right, John Depp, man, he's there, you go. What's
he gonna be?

Speaker 5 (27:41):
John Depp lamber heard maybe doesn't think so, but you know,
I'm still a fan. But anyway, let's let's get back
into the astros here if you want to get in
on that discussion seven one two five seven ninety against
seven one three two one two five seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
It is the Sean Salisbury Show. The Sewn Salisbury Show continued.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
And Mike Turrico of course announcing what the opening game
of the season was going to be. But then you
had Tom Brady up on the stage, which they announced
that they're gonna have Texas and Ohio State, but they
didn't say the time. My guess is it's the big
newt kickoff game, so we get college football Saturday started
that way?

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Has the itch started yet? I mean football?

Speaker 9 (28:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:25):
No, okay, come on man, I mean it's only twenty
four hours from okay, first time? Do you want to
play a game right now?

Speaker 6 (28:33):
I'm always up for you. You want to play spring football?
Well I got a league for you. Oh no, you
want to play NFL spring football, right? I mean, you're
ready right now?

Speaker 1 (28:41):
I mean they could have like a minor league. Yeah
it's April, guys, I may right.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
I think I think it would be like kind of
almost like NBA Summer League, as guys who are practice
squatters and guys who were just drafted of maybe like
a four week little mini league.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
To like put them in a system that they're with
the same offense that somebody's running at the next level.

Speaker 5 (29:05):
Right Yeah, and you've got these coaching fellowships, so you're
trying to give guys an opportunity to break into the game.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
That's that's an opportunity. That's why I'm all for it
if it's done right. But I'm not. I just we
have so many spring leagues.

Speaker 6 (29:17):
I'm waiting for one to actually be a minor league
for the football where you like, this team has four teams.
This team has four teams affiliated with it, so a
quarterback's running the system of the other you know, they
hire a coordinator to run the system the major league team.
Just like in junior high schools go to Southlake Carroll,
they got a feeder. These schools now have a feeder.
They're they're sixth graders, are running the same system in

(29:38):
the sixth grade as they are in high school. By
that time they get to Southlake Carol, you know, it's
just an another scholarship player, right boom, one after the
other after the other. Because they've been in the system,
they have been in four different Pop Warner systems. They're like, Okay,
you're in the sixth grade. The feeder system here where
here's what we run boom boom, boom boom. And I'm
sure a lot do that. So I team run the

(30:00):
wing team, you gotta run it here. So but you know,
I'm saying, you get a lot of looks and a
lot of a lot of reps. But I'm not a
I don't know what it is. I've never been a
spring league football guy. I love the fact that guys
get opportunities, don't miss it for them. For coaches, I
have a lot of guys at this stage in my
career where a lot of guys are coach front offices

(30:21):
or coaches. It would like to take another step and
this is another spring board they've been coaches want to
get another opportunity or what have you. And I love
that for them and the players. But I've I got
to come clean, dude. I can't remember the last time
I watched a spring not a spring football game. I'm
talking about it. I don't think I ever have.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
I think I've watched like three collective minutes in my life.
Any of the UFL USFL.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
All great, and it's no it's just it just doesn't
I want them to have opportunities, and I hope people
show up, it just doesn't interest me. I'm I'm a
big I was never a football guy till I got
the high. I mean, I love watching it, but they played,
so I've always been baseball, basketball first, and this kind
of and out with golf and the majors. It's like
football to me was it's a fall sport, and it's

(31:10):
an NFL fall sport. And like right now, I'm still
you know, the draft gets you a little pumped up,
but I we'll talk about it, but I've got zero
interest in a season starting until late July. I mean,
I'm I'm good with the baseball and all the other
stuff that goes with it, So I don't get the
fever until like middle of July to late July. Then

(31:33):
then I'm all in because then you start to play.
Then I start thinking about the fall and how awesome
that is. So yeah, and you know, the summer starting
to get to the points, okay, people going back to school,
high school football getting started.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
So yeah, man, but right now.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
My percentage level of care talk about it, but like
I mean, like with urgency, do I need to get
football season.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
It's zero. I'm not ready for it.

Speaker 5 (31:55):
For seven on seven, for the kids wearing the Guardian
capsule like their Devo out there.

Speaker 6 (32:01):
I got to deal with bit enough of that with
high school kids where they go playing all these seven
on seven leagues, and seven on seven leagues are not
meant for the kid to have great mechanics. It's you know,
so they come back to He's like, just be careful,
start to think. Think eleven on seven on seven could
be great. You get reps, but not all reps are
good reps. Sure, so sometimes you'll go and they'll play,
then you'll get him. They'll come back and want them

(32:22):
a hardcore month and a half before they get start
the camp, and I'm like, we're gonna need it because
you hitching up to the line of scrimmage and holding
the ball for four and a half seconds and doing
all that is gonna be a little different on Friday
night when you're you're playing against one of these teams
at Duncanville in a state you know they say north Shore,
that's exactly four seconds. Yeah, matter of fact, cut that

(32:46):
in half and hope that you get the ball out
on time. With eight Division one players on defense, right,
so when you're playing against the North short type team,
so it's not good reps are all, but they do.
And then all of a sudden, it's like, so I
got almost got to be on guard. So yeah, the
seven on seven season, I like the reps, but not
all reps are good reps.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
So you got to stay on top of that.

Speaker 6 (33:06):
And I'll let these guys take care and they're excited,
but I'm more the ebbs and flows and the emotion
of up and down baseball.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Like five wins, you know, you're seven and two. In
the last nine, you're two and nine, you're the seven
and oh, so I'm all baseball.

Speaker 6 (33:20):
And then that time when football starts, that's just around
the time like post alls to okay, let's get to
the dog days and then bam, August and September hit
and now you're in full force with all of them, right,
and still waiting on hockey in the NBA to turn
around start again after they're like eight day off season.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Right. I was going to say, you think baseball is
a quick turnaround.

Speaker 6 (33:39):
Nobody like that because you go NBA, you know, Draft Finals,
NBA Summer League, and you wake up and it's like, oh,
it's time to start again.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
It's the time you can't eat.

Speaker 6 (33:55):
It's like sometimes these leagues like the college Women's College
Basketball and WNBA and then the NBA, they like runs again.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
When do you start? Didn't you just end mid June?

Speaker 6 (34:05):
And then summer league you're going having ten games or
whatever it is, and then you're going to take a
deep breath watch the opening week in of football and
you're already back at training camp. I mean, it's crazy
the NBA, the NBA schedule, I mean basically they're just
playing year round pretty much. We get to the summer
league sure foeba, oh yeah, all this stuff before you
know it.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
And aren't we in an Olympic year?

Speaker 8 (34:25):
No?

Speaker 6 (34:26):
Two years following I talked about the preparation for an Olympic.
We're in a World Cup year and a rider right
well in the Olympics, so three years from now?

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yeah, but are we when's the win is the winner? Olympics?
Winter is coming up? This uh, this coming like January? Everything. Okay,
that's hockey.

Speaker 6 (34:43):
So the World Cup right around the corner, right and
then uh and with a Ryder Cup yere, so all
those things. But my point is is that you just
the constant the NBA, and you know they're traveling. When
it stops and when it starts again, it feels like
it's a week in between. And Summer League has a
lot to that because they're going to another area. It's

(35:05):
all in Vegas, and you feel and then before you
come out of that season, training camp starts and next
thing you know, we're in an inn season tournament. We
haven't even hit December yet, right or whatever it is, right,
it's crazy. So it's just different. But the NBA, they
got a grind. But I get why you're not into
it right now on that part of it. But I'm
not into football right now, just as much as you're
not into the NBA right now. Football and me, I

(35:27):
need time away from it. That's fair, that's fair. You know,
everybody needs a break. You know, you can't go live
year round, and you know that's that's the way some
people handle it. Let's uh you know, like I said,
some astros the bats well been better at times, but.

Speaker 5 (35:43):
Uh so leaving a little bit to be desired. Let's
talk about it here. Sean Salisbury, show.

Speaker 6 (35:49):
Doctor Jeff Witz it at wits at vision dot com,
w H I T S E T T. The very
best in the business. Talk to those who've gone to
the Lacy procedure like me, or that get eye care
from doctor whitst. When you're talking about your eyes pretty
damn precious, right, so you might want to maximize that
and go visit with people will tell you what I'll
tell you. There's nobody better. He is attention to detail.

(36:10):
He'll treat your eyes like he'd treat his own families
or his own eyes, and he'll walk you through all
the steps of LASIK and the post I care.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
It's non invasive.

Speaker 6 (36:17):
I wasn't on the table ten minutes and seeing better
than I had since the prime of my vision. So
for me, there's nobody better. It's doctor Jeff witz It
at witsit Vision dot Com.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Again, w H I T S E T T. When
you're looking for your eyes and they are precious, you
want an expert, right. You don't want to leave anything
to chance, and you won't chance anything but success with
doctor Jeff witze It. It's Witsitvision dot Com. Wits Vision
dot Com. That's wits it Vision dot Com. Why You're back.
This is the Sean Salisbury Show. Get back at it.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
Taylor Scott Bennett SUSA. That guy's been quietly really good
for this team.

Speaker 6 (36:55):
So yeah, that bullpen's been, aside from a few gaffes,
has been pretty damn impressive. For sure, they've starting pitching
has been impressive too, But this has been the strength
of the team. So I'm highly underrated. When you look
at across the board. It doesn't get talked about enough
how lights out they've been.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
But wouldn't it be nice to be able to have
a show like six fifty two here on a Tuesday.
If last night the Astros came back and won eight
to seven, where you say, man, you know what, bullpen,
they were great, But boy, those bats really stepped up.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Man.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
I mean they those late innings, the bottom of the order,
guys getting it going, and they they were the reason
that you won this game. It would be nice to, like,
aside from the Minnesota finale this year, I can't think
of any other time that I've said that about the
team where you say, you know what, the bats willed
this team to a win, like they they stepped up

(37:47):
like It's so many times we talk about how the
pitching stepped up and the pitching was great.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
I love having that.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
Trust me, it's much better than the alternative. But I mean,
there's just it's always so many times where one side
leaves a little bit left to be desired.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
And it hadn't been the pitching very much this year.
You know it hasn't.

Speaker 6 (38:06):
And when it comes to the hitting part of it,
I feel like it's been groundhog Day for a while,
leading back to last year, where it's similar conversation left
runners in the scoring position, didn't close it out, pitching
doing a great job hanging in like kind of similar
to last year of Blanco got rolling boom eight innings

(38:27):
of two hit ball the other night at times when
you need it right, so they are. I guess it's
nondescript at the plate right now? Does that makes sense?
You know you'll get the pain is playing really good baseball.
I'll twove a couple more hits. You start to see
the id as has come to life. There's no doubt
the truth is from up and down. Other than PAINA,

(38:50):
Jake Myers and Paratus have been your most consistent guys
that they're showing up box score wise on a regular basis.
They just are so yeah, And it's been pitching. Put
it this way, you're counting on pitching. Starting pitching been solid.
You you got to you hope starting pitching continues and

(39:11):
gets healthy. But you know, at the top of the order,
it's it's pretty damn good.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
And when you get bloc or you're really your fourth
guy when things are right, when everything's normal.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
Doing what he did the other day, it's on the
verge of spectacular. The bullpen, it's almost like an offensive
line that doesn't give up sacks. We don't talk about
them until they struggle. It's like, oh yeah, oh man,
their top five offensive line in the league.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
How can we ever talk.

Speaker 6 (39:35):
About him well because people love to talk about the
negative part, not the positive. We just got, Oh we
just expected with this bullpen, we've come to expect and
that they're just going to get it done. And then
the hitting is the hope right now, where at the
hope phase of the hitting where let's hope they get
going again, Let's hope the new guys contribute. Let's hope
Jordan gets healthy. Let's hope that uh pain you continues

(39:58):
to be great in the lead off spot. Hope Jake Myers.
This is this out of body experience at the plate continues,
let's hope that Christian Walker continues to hit it hard
and it falls the right way. I mean, there's a
lot of hope, but the problem is hope doesn't sustain
what you're looking for.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Dan, and that's five runs here, seven runs there, and
nine runs.

Speaker 6 (40:17):
Oh, great job, relentless, six straight hits by a team,
and you know they'll get it.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
It'll happen.

Speaker 6 (40:23):
The question is it's been the inconsistency of the play
that it's not even hard criticism, that's just pretty factual
from last year. So that's why it's a little bit
of groundhog Day. But there's one that you pretty much
know every night it feels like they're going to get
a done Bullpen. You think the pitching starting pitching when
the first two guys go I got a pretty good
idea and the second guy, especially that you're in the game.

(40:46):
We said it last week when he picked said, don't
expect to score. If you get three runs, be happy.
And you're pitching staff aster appro how many runs they
get off hund of Brown zero, So you go in
knowing if you score three or four runs off him,
and when Fromber's going good in the game, but the
chances are it's one of those. They're going six to
seven innings and it's going to be a late inning
win or loss, depending on who's swinging the bat so

(41:08):
and Hunter Brown's been on the fortune side of it
this year and he just dominates. So but it's the
it's that pitching staff, the bullpen, which underrated, but like
a good offensive line, you don't talk about him when
they're going good, only when they blow a save or.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Have one of those days. It's the hitting.

Speaker 6 (41:23):
It's the inconsistency that drives you crazy because this team
was always built on one through seven or eight being
relentless and killing pitching staffs. We're not there yet. It's
just inconsistent. You look at and say potential, but we
know what potential does. Potential will get a coach fired
if you're not careful. So they've got to pick that
part of it up, and they will. But when and
how long does that run last?

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (41:46):
Definitely, And we can continue this conversation as we get
into the seven o'clock hour against seven one three, two
one two five seven ninety Also to today on the stakeouts, is.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
This really something that you want to bring to a game.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
We'll discuss all of that here as we get into
the seven o'clock hour here on the Shawn Salisbury Show.

Speaker 6 (42:04):
Hey, surt of Pro painters sort of what they see
each and every sort of pro business, individually owned and
operated and you can go to certipro dot com for
your free estimate. Now you have a home, I've done it.
I'm a customer and I wanted the interior and some
exterior work done. They did it and it was so
damn efficient and local and timely. I thought, damn they

(42:28):
got through that efficiently and quickly. And then you go
look at the paint job and you realize, oh, not
only did they get through it efficiently and quickly, the
price was right in guess what else? It was done
at my house to perfection. Cert of Pro is awesome.
So and it's not just your home, what about your
business interior xterior. Listen, don't just stop there. You want

(42:49):
a little change up, little facelift on the outside, or
you get into the inside for customers, whatever it is,
why not both?

Speaker 1 (42:56):
You can win with both.

Speaker 6 (42:57):
And it's expensive to own a home or a business
protect it with the quality painting assert of Pro Painters.
It's sort of with a C sort of pro painters.
And listen, everybody is a d I wire at some point.
But then you get two points. I'd like to free
myself up for some time. So let's let curt of
Pro do this right, So the presentations off the charts

(43:19):
for us or for somebody else, and let me go
free myself up to do some of the other things
I like. Another advantage I have in curt of Pro.
They'll make their your home as if it's their own.
And that's how good it'll look. Customer service off the charts,
best in the business. Sort of pro painters, proud not
only be a customer, but a member of the family

(43:40):
That's painting Happy.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
KBMS Houston AD two Houston, an iHeartRadio station, The Astross,
the Rockets, Rockets Past, Befall your Home for your Home Teams.
This is Sports Talk seven ninety from the Parsons Imagine
Next Studios.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Did okay, Let's do this? Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 9 (44:13):
To USC Troupes, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Dan Matthews. This is the Seawan Salisbury Show.

Speaker 5 (44:24):
Shawn Salisbury, Triple, Emmanuel L. Moore, Dan Matthews here with you.
Astros loose seven to five to the Royals to start
up this home series. Rockets land the tenth pick in
the NBA Draft lottery. Dallas Mavericks get the first in
Texas and Ohio state season opener. Gonna be on Fox
likely big noon kickoff for that one to start the

(44:45):
season against seven one three two one two five seven ninety.
A couple of additions to Sean to the names we
were talking about earlier, Scotty all of those different things.
My good buddy Andy bringing up a good point that
Scotty Brooks when he was with the Rockets, he was
effectually known as Scottie Brooks. You know, timeouts, the other

(45:06):
team goes to a timeout, first guy off the bench
for the Rockets high five and guys, oh, Scotty Brooks.
You know he's he's a guy kind of boosting morale
over there on the bench. Well, now he's just Scott Brooks.
Scott Brooks, because when you become a coach, I feel
like you gotta although I mean, Scotty Bowman, I guess
you know.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Oh yeah, and that's never changing.

Speaker 6 (45:23):
That's Scotty with a why And you put some respect
on that you got it with Scotty Bowman, maybe the
best Scotty coach ever, Right, I would think. So, now,
why don't women have to follow that pro gra out protocol?
Like if you're Katie, do you become Kate when you
hit a certain age?

Speaker 1 (45:37):
Probably Jenny, you become Jennifer, you do? Yeah? What about Jen?

Speaker 8 (45:40):
Jen?

Speaker 1 (45:42):
Jennifer? Jennifer, you reach a certain age? You got to
So do you ever see you're telling me, so was
Jenny Jennifer Lopez ever Jenny? Well, I mean she would
tell you that she was Jenny from the block, but
I don't think most people from there were boding he
was from the block lunch.

Speaker 6 (45:54):
Yeah, that's what she says, Jen Jen. All right, So
so Cindy becomes Cynthia. There, Cindy formal enough. I think
Cindy formal and probably called her sin growing up?

Speaker 1 (46:05):
Yeah? Probably, yeah, okay, but do we hold it?

Speaker 6 (46:09):
But it's a little different for the dude, right, just
a tad different, although you can still be Katie when
you're thirty.

Speaker 5 (46:15):
Like Filippe fifty, Felippe brings up Chip that he can't
trust people named Chip.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
What about Chipper Jones? Like Jones what do you mean,
it's really it's Larry.

Speaker 6 (46:25):
Yeah, lo Yeah, Larry Jones. Do you think any do
you think his mom calls him Chipper or Larry? I mean,
technically it was Larry Wayne lub Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
Yeah, there's always something in the name in there. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (46:38):
I mean I felt like I was comfortable enough around
Chipper that a couple of times I called him Larry.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
You did, Yeah, what's up, low, Larry? You guys are
down like that? Yeah? Yeah, as soon as he turned
the corner, Larry, what's going on? Hey, what's going on? Man?
Love Chipper Jones. He always looks like he just woke
up from a nap. Yeah, he just and then it
hits three forty. I say, yeah, he was pretty good
at doing that. That guy falls out of bed and

(47:06):
hits three hundreds. It didn't.

Speaker 5 (47:07):
He tell the story of the ninety five World Series
that he and Clusco went like bow hunting that morning
and then they showed up to the ballpark and played
a World Series game.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
It's why not. It's hunting season.

Speaker 7 (47:20):
Man.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
You gotta have something to keep your out, you know,
your mind off things. Yeah, if you're if you're I mean,
if that's you get up in the morning.

Speaker 6 (47:26):
Nobody's late. That's your free time. You want to go hunt.
Your legs are fine? Yeah, well they like you're wrestling
the damn. I gonna say, you're you're up in the blind. Yeah,
you hunt and get yours and then take the fatigues
or not the fatigues, take the camel off, and let's
up pop back into baseball mode.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
I was gonna say, you got the EyeBlack going, so, yeah,
you know, ready to go Plasco and chip where I
can see it, can't you?

Speaker 5 (47:49):
And then uh oh yeah, no, absolutely both of those guys.
And then a little bit later on life, Jason Alden
joined up a man.

Speaker 6 (47:57):
Yep, he's a Georgia guy. Oh yeah, it's making yea
oh he is. Okay, yeah, there you go.

Speaker 5 (48:04):
So you got, uh you got you got that bit
of knowledge that I'm sure you probably didn't have this morning.
Nor I mean, you know, sure some of you out
there are probably like, Okay, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
I guess it's called being We like to be a
wealth of useless sure on here, Yes, yeah, we've got
all of our goals. That's it, that's it.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
We were, we are here. We are here to deliver
for the audience. That's that's what we do here, k
y A know your audience. But you get the ninth
inning last night's you know, back to the Astros hitters
where Jose Al two leads it off against a Steves
with a single, and you're like, okay, hey, you know
the tying run.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
The tying runs now.

Speaker 5 (48:40):
At the plate, you could have that. Then peretis no
Christian Walker strikeout. Then you get the fly out from
you on your Diaz and it's like two, three, four
and five right here, and your your best chance to
be able to tie or maybe even win this game.

Speaker 6 (48:58):
And nothing yeah with than striking distance, and you say
put the you know, you get alta v and you think, okay,
this is the time, right, We're gonna move him over.
Somebody's gonna get it base hit, maybe get him to third,
and then you got a couple more chances with the
middle of your lineup. It's a we're not an alarming
yet disappointing because.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
We damn well know.

Speaker 6 (49:22):
The history of the bats in this lineup, and history
doesn't mean a hill of beans until yesterday is tough enough,
so nobody cares about six weeks ago, right, But the
history of this lineup in this franchise the last seven
or years, says, there's enough bats to destroy you as
an opposing pitcher. It's just the I don't know what
it is, Dan, And you know people are going to

(49:43):
point to a hitting instructor, you know, they're hitting coach
and the rest of it. But it really is for
a team that keeps winning divisions. And I know they
get him in bunches and they have and they'll go
through that again. But you know, starting twelve and twenty
four and still win in the division. They have an
uncanny abillity to just when you say windows start to shut,

(50:04):
isn't it, Dan, Bam, you know they'll go and win
another division. And that's not enough.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Now though, I think is in you you made the point.

Speaker 6 (50:11):
Maybe it was about the Texans yesterday, but it applies
to this team more than any in town.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Now that happens. This is the example that's exactly right.

Speaker 6 (50:19):
So the expectations so maybe at times where a little harsh,
not even harsh, but maybe like, well is it tough?

Speaker 1 (50:26):
But the truth of the matter is I think that
they all know.

Speaker 6 (50:29):
And in talking to Dana Brown and Steve Sparks Weekly
it's always pitching, pitching, pitching coming through, and we're gonna
get We're going to get hot, and they will see.
It's not the it's not the if they get hot,
because you know they're going to it. Some of these
these are you know, at some point in time, al
twove is going to reel off three home runs in
a week or four home runn He just is.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
But it's not that.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
It's the level of you start to watch in eight
runs here, seven runs here, been watching you know, there's
a lot of high scoring early games this year. Have
you noticed fourteen here, twenty one there, twelve here or
fourteen more here. I'm seeing it all over baseball for whatever,
and maybe it's it's like injuries in football. Man, there
seems to be an an ordered to amount of injuries
this training camp. And the truth is it's the same

(51:14):
amount of injuries it was last year, right close to it.
Or some hand defenses are way ahead of offenses, yep.
And then October eighth, four quarterbacks throw for you know,
four hundred yards and eight more throw for three fifty
you know what I mean, And they get But it's
the level of sustaining the consistency because this is a
division that we know who the Texas Rangers are and

(51:36):
Seattle's pitching a lot like this team. Matter of fact,
don't they kind of I don't want to say mirror
because this franchise hasn't I mean Seattle hasn't won like
the Rangers, I mean like the Astros. But in truth,
what's their strength? And right now pitching, but they're hitting
is much improved, much improved. But when I say Seattle

(51:57):
winning a division this year, what are you saying is
going to be pitching one of the best pitching staffs
going into the season.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
With in hopes that the cal Rallies that they that
they hit right.

Speaker 6 (52:08):
We know they've got some potential Julio right, I mean
they've got potential, But did how did Julio hit last year?

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Not great?

Speaker 6 (52:16):
Yeah, he wasn't and from a start so he had
his struggles. My point is they've had some of their
stars and they're hitting. I think there's actually more explosive
lineup here. But in similarities, their pitching is going to
carry them the Seattle and these Astros through it and
and then the the if the hitting matches the pitching

(52:36):
for both were in for one hell of the division run.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
So that's wh you said.

Speaker 6 (52:39):
Well, when they're going and they have the potential and
they're getting better, but you still look, if I said,
take away, which one is going to sustain you this
year in Seattle, You're going to tell me pitching is there.
And I know you'd say that in every city, but
you can't say it in every city because not every
city has this kind of staff or that kind of staff.
And so I guess the question is which one of
these three teams in this division goes on the longest.

(53:03):
Because we know the Rangers can rake when they're going
good too, which I mean, they have as much potential
as anybody in their order. Which one of the three
lineups has the potential to say they can sustain it longer.
That's what we're going to find out because I think
all three, you know, and I think the Rangers' bullpen
can be a problem, as we've talked about, but Seattle,
in Houston, the pitching will keep them around. But if

(53:26):
they're going to win a World Series, it's going to
have to be the hitting has to get closer to
matching the pitching.

Speaker 5 (53:33):
It's the same thing that I said about Jalen Green
during the season and during the playoffs, he scores, you win,
the Astros hit, they win.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
It's it's that simple.

Speaker 6 (53:41):
Because their pitch is good enough that you scored five runs,
they're usually going to be good enough to beat you,
meaning the Astros, right, no doubt about it, no question.

Speaker 5 (53:50):
So I mean, these are things that you know. It's
just continues to be a little bit of a frustrating
h you know things at.

Speaker 6 (53:56):
Holl Day right now, we talked about this is we
had similar conversations last you're and they know it, and
there's new bodies. We didn't expect Christian Walker to be
this the power boat to be this slow getting started, right.
But we also I think it's a pleasant surprise away
Prayus is played and if you're not surprised by Jake
Myers and happy, then we were not watching.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
I know, we're waiting for the other like, come on,
when's this going to come down to earth?

Speaker 6 (54:18):
But he's hitting like ninety four right, So I'm only
going by with what I see, and what I see
right now is a guy who seems to be getting
more confident. And when that when those guys are your
best hitters right now and throw piny and you're like
the Ironer's coming around, Jordan's gonna come around. Then you
start to think, okay, when they do, hell to pay.
The problem is the weight, right, and that's the inconsistency

(54:40):
that drives you crazy. Now forty games in, you definitely
want it now. But I mean, look, as we bring
all that up as the bad, here's the good. You're
two games out, you're a half game out of a
wildcard spot. Isn't this who they and going into this year?
If you thought somebody was running away, they're not going
to run away and hide the division even if they hit.
They're just this division's not This division doesn't have the

(55:02):
Dodgers in it where somebody's gonna run, and hell they
may not even in the way the podres that they
realize that, well, hell we're gonna hang around and there's
some Arizona's not going to be chopped liver, and you
know San Francisco will give you some game, right, So
did you I mean, maybe the optics of how we
got to this point over five hundred or you know,
what do you say two games what?

Speaker 5 (55:22):
Well, they're five hundred right now, but there are two
games two games back.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
That's exactly right, because they were.

Speaker 6 (55:27):
They went in yesterday what one game under or yeah,
and then they lost so two games under what forty
games in as you said, but they're only two back,
and then that's the they're keeping pace, And like I said,
what do we expect though? I know the optics if
they're not hitting as well. But in truth I can
take more positives from the pitching than I can negatives
from the hitting. Does that make sense? So I think

(55:48):
that's where you are. But if you thought that this
was going to be a oh man, this is one
hundred win team and sixty two losses, it was never
going there, not this year. And that's okay. There's different
ways to skin it. They're gonna have skin in a
different way. But the hitting is going to have to
be more consistent or they will well, they'll get detroited.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Yeah, that's exactly right.

Speaker 5 (56:10):
A bunch of singles. We don't want a bunch of singles.
We want those extra base hits.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
All right.

Speaker 5 (56:14):
Somebody brought an interesting item to a game last night
and it really got me thinking. We'll talk about it here.
It is Sean Salisbury show Sports Talk seven to ninety.

Speaker 6 (56:22):
Country Boys roofing Country with the K boys with the
Z Texas Windstorms Certified. Hey, we got some real good
discounts for you good guys out there too here. I'll
mention those in a second to John Zach Connor and
John you guys doing a great job man. And John Iman,
the owner who come on here and we talked and
has sent me messages saying make sure you let people
know just be smart, regardless of who they use. Be

(56:45):
smart when you're talking about your roof and people coming
during storm season and trying to hammer you and gouge
you and quite frankly steal from you by doing the
things they do and not following through on the promises
to get you the proper work done. Country Roofing will
follow through, proud new member of the Better Business Bureau,

(57:05):
certaintyed In certified installer of Atlas and certain teed shingles again,
Texas Windstorms Certified. They'll go anywhere in Houston. It doesn't
matter how big or small your job is.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
They'll do that.

Speaker 6 (57:17):
And the insurance claims suck, but they'll help you navigate them.
And if you're a first responder, if you're an educator,
if you are military, one five hundred dollars discount off
the entire roof. Now you think about that in a
price gouging storm season, that still holds true. Now, how
good is that Instead of taking away, they're giving to you.

(57:38):
And it's the same if you're not one of those,
but you mentioned my name, you'll get a thousand dollars
off the full roof when it comes to discount. Everything
you need locally owned and operated, family owned and operated,
and they're right here. And if you're looking for loyalty,
honesty and to get out in front of the storm

Speaker 2 (58:21):
Lore Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety where astros
and Rockets play and real Texans talk.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
All right, Sean, what are you hearing out there now?
The Salsbury's takeouts?

Speaker 2 (58:38):
Salsbury's takeout on the Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 5 (58:44):
Indeed it is, says the Astros lose last night some
for to the Royals, Rockets land the tenth pick in
the NBA Draft lottery, Dallas Mavericks get the first, and
the Nicks and Timberwolves both up three to one in
their respective series.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
All right, to Sean, are you aware of the rule at.

Speaker 5 (59:02):
Astros schemes that you can bring any type of food
item if it fits into a gallon bag?

Speaker 6 (59:11):
Gallon, you know, ziplog? I think I was aware of that. Yes, Okay,
I didn't know how big the bag was, but yes,
yes I was aware. So you're allowed for a gallon.
So lay wing Win is the man's name.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
He goes by aggs Win on social media, and uh
he has the following to go along with his pictures.
Every fan is allowed to bring in food as long
as they fits into a one gallon plastic bag. I
brought in three pounds of crawfish and a couple of
ears of corn this afternoon in a.

Speaker 6 (59:43):
One gallon bag in a one gallony. Pounds in a
one gallon? How many pounds in a gallon?

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Boy? That is you know sciences three? Okay, so he
fit all that into one gallon. Back. No, that's smart packing, correct,
plus two years of right, what do you how are
you eating them at the ballpark?

Speaker 6 (01:00:07):
So because you're not bringing a yettie and you yeah,
I don't eat cold crawfish, do you know?

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Okay, I prefer not to know. So how are we
doing this? Well?

Speaker 5 (01:00:17):
My guess is because I mean you did see like,
you know how like you get something in the steam
and you can kind of see the condensation off of it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
So you did you did have that.

Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
So I would probably say by the time he got
to enjoy said crawfish, it was lukewarm at best.

Speaker 6 (01:00:31):
For me, of all the things to bring to the ballpark.
And I love I mean, I love crawfish, but it
feels like too much work for a ballpark meal to bring.
After you're sitting down a restaurant, they serve car crawfish
in the center field in some restaurant or you know
what I'm saying. Revy, I get it, but to me,

(01:00:53):
it's so much work. I would rather just the sandwich
you can grab. Maybe you take you've cooked hot dogs
and you wrap them in ten foot to keep them
warm until you get there, or some kind of sandwich
that you can have cold and fresh because maybe you
put a little bit of ice in the bag. For
a gallon, I would think there's far more efficient. Crawfish

(01:01:14):
takes a lot of work and you've got to have
a lot of them to fill up and two ears
of corns fine to throw some red potatoes at the
rest of it there makes it a little difficult. It's
an odd thing for me, since you can't put it
in like a yetty and keep it hot that it'd
be one of the last things I think about packing
to take to a baseball game.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
I like his style and the creativity, but I.

Speaker 6 (01:01:37):
Would think for me, I would lean more on the
side if you are going to go hot dog or
something like that, that it's wrapped properly to be warm.
But I would more than likely think on something that
could you know, peanut butter and jelly, or turkeys, like
a pastrami and swiss sandwich, a cold pastrami or cold
meat loaf after you've cooked it. I like me, I say,

(01:01:58):
I like cold meat, loaf, sounches, whatever or anything that
has to do with sandwich instead of because crawfish. That's
a lot of work and then as you well know,
you're spending a bunch of time in the bathroom getting
your hands cleaned out, and so it's a lot of work.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
But I admire him for thinking it. So he must
really love some crawfish, so.

Speaker 5 (01:02:15):
He does, that's my guest, because he did post a
follow up video of him right there, you know those
picnic tables they have near the Saint Arnold's little beer
garden right over near Union Station, and that's where he decided.
I think it was pregame that he decided to start
cracking the shells and start and join himself some crawfish.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
I love him for doing it. I would probably not
just too much work, but I like his style.

Speaker 5 (01:02:40):
Well, I mean, I appreciate the creativity and I mean
then look, you know, to each is their own. But
it's the point that you brought up about the fingers,
because that's the thing is like you can eat crawfish
and maybe you've got some lemon wedges with it, and
you know that's probably you know, what you want to
use afterwards, because like for Cheetos, for example, what they
call the dust on your fingers, they call it cheetle.
So like if you bring like a bunch of flaming

(01:03:01):
hot Cheetos to the game, it's all good. Just don't
high five with the guy because then you're gonna look
at your hand. You're gonna be like cheating, and.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
Inevitably it ends up on your lips.

Speaker 6 (01:03:10):
Yeah, you're just it's like, well you know that, they're like, oh, honey,
I like to put honey on a peanut butter sandwich
really big time.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
Never done that.

Speaker 6 (01:03:22):
Peanut butter and Honey's delicious. Greupp eat peanut butter and honey.

Speaker 5 (01:03:25):
It's kind of like, uh, you know permeno cheese sandwiches.
A buddy of mine told me about doing it, grilled
permeno cheese. I freaking would I've had one pimento cheese.
Spicy permeno cheese too, Like Kalipino cheese is on. If
it's done right, for sure, it's untouchable. As far as
cheese got that would fit in the back.

Speaker 6 (01:03:43):
No questions go with that, no question but es, yeah,
you mentioned I mean I talk about it where you
said that the cheetos. It just ends up places you
don't want to get it up. Yeah, if you have honey,
you could plan. I'm just telling you, go do it.
Take honey and stick it on a sandwich, Put on
a peanut butter, soundch whatever you put. You know, if
you put honey on. Have you ever had a honey
glazed chicken, or or you a honey glazed hand or

(01:04:07):
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
It's literally hot. It's hot. Honey.

Speaker 8 (01:04:09):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
It'll end up someway. I'm just telling you. You'll say.
It never touched my hands. It never touched my elbow.
It never you'll find it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:19):
It'll stuck to the You'll be on your shirt, it'll
be on your it'll be on the back of your paw,
about the back of your hand. Yeah, it'll be somewhere.
I never touched it. I use a spoon somehow, someway.
And I know people are laughing listening. Honey always ends
up place as well. I guess if you're on your
on your if you're letting your freak flag fly, that's

(01:04:41):
a different story. Now I understand that, honey. I'm just
talking about I'm going to make a peanut butter Honey
such and you put it on a knife or a
spoon to spread it. Inevitably, it's on the back of
my hand, on a fingertip in between your as I'm
talking with my hands in between your ring finger and
pinky in within the crease in between, and you're like,

(01:05:02):
there's no possible way this happened, And it happened. It's
like trying to kill a mosquito. These I feel like
these mosquitos have been Honestly, they're like manufactured and fake.
If you ever, I mean, you'll hit them like four times,
squeeze them in between your hand, whack it with a
towel that got in your house. Oh, and it flies away.

(01:05:24):
It's like, what do I got it?

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
I got to drop a fifteen pound book on the
damn thing and it still is.

Speaker 6 (01:05:29):
I'm telling you. It's the same thing with honey. When
a kid, you cannot stop it from being.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
Places outside your freak flag flying of it just ending
up places.

Speaker 6 (01:05:39):
You're like, how did that end up on my knizz zuts? Oh,
that's a freak flag bad? How did it end up
on the back of my hand? I put a spoon
in there.

Speaker 5 (01:05:49):
Here's the thing, you know, you make some jalapeno poppers
wear gloves. Just just just a PSA to people wear gloves.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
Okay, I'll tell you another thing.

Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
If you are a hot pott microwave person and you
put it in the microwave, and you know we're always
quickly or a pot pie type of thing, sure, you
just can't wait till it gets cool.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Have you ever noticed?

Speaker 6 (01:06:11):
So the first bite eighteen taste buds on the roof
of your mouth are done for about a week and
it's raw. You can go go eat a hot pocket
because you won't wait till the hot pockets, the inside
cheese part of it cools down, because you don't want
cold cheese unless it's cold cheese on a such when
it goes into the microwave, you want to eat that

(01:06:32):
thing hot.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
So what inevitably do you do?

Speaker 6 (01:06:35):
And then you'll forget to get the water or your
drink at the time because you just can't resist the
bite on the way to the refrigerator.

Speaker 1 (01:06:40):
Yeah, and it burns the roof, burns the roof of
your mouth. And then if you have to swallow it.

Speaker 6 (01:06:45):
Because it's burning the roof of your mouth and you
don't have to drink the wash, it down. Then it
gets your throat on the way down, and you feel
like these are the worst things I've ever eaten.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
You just can't write.

Speaker 6 (01:06:55):
They taste good, but the problem is inevitably you can't
eat Captain crunch without tearing the roof of your mouth
up within with the dry part of the Captain crunch
before it sits in the milk. It's the same thing
with hot pockets and honey, you're gonna find it places
you don't, but you can't. You're right, And are you
talking about allopenio poppers because of the burn on your hands?
Oh yeah, when you cut the when you cut the alipinos,
it's your your fingertip gets you no longer get finger

(01:07:18):
printed because your fingertips are burnt.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
Oh, there's not. It'll do that to your roof of
your mouth. Try it once.

Speaker 6 (01:07:23):
Go get a hot pocket and cook it for a
minute thirty and then just take a bite out of it,
right out of the microwave, and then come see me
when you can't talk.

Speaker 5 (01:07:29):
One experience for me, One experience of the buddy. For me,
it was I cut some and then I guess, you know,
an itch in the eye, so I kind of did
like the back of the hand kind of that thing.
And then the rest of the night, the people are around.
They thought I had a food allergy. They're like, you
are right, and I was like, yeah, fine, and then
I felt some burning and I was like, oh god.
And then I saw you know, red around there. My

(01:07:50):
buddy had accidentally scratched. Oh he catch my dress. He
gets scratched. So then he at the party, had to
at his house. I had to get a glass of milk,
go into the bathroom, and somebody was like, why is
there a glass of milk in here?

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
I wonder why.

Speaker 6 (01:08:07):
Then there on on some jokes, but you said you
u it was it was burning and red. Yeah, you
gotta go see her. You go go see your your
sex doctor for that. Ah Okay, it's called penicellin.

Speaker 9 (01:08:20):
Uh huh.

Speaker 6 (01:08:21):
Yeah, yeah, I'm just I mean, get the shot. That's
how I took it. I mean it was the eyes. Okay, yeah, okay,
I'm sure it was for him, it was, you know,
something else.

Speaker 5 (01:08:32):
But then he really he said after that, he goes
after that, it was always gloves a wise move.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
Yeah, it only has to happen once, Dan.

Speaker 5 (01:08:39):
Huh, Yeah, you learn once distained Danny disdained. Danny, I
have disdain for after cutting jalapenos.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
They'll touch your eye. No touch your does that stamp? Yep?

Speaker 5 (01:08:49):
Stay away from both. That's wise words to live by.
All right, let's get back to the astros just slightly,
because I have an idea that has worked for somebody else.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
I'll discuss that here. It's the Shawn Salisbury Show.

Speaker 6 (01:09:01):
Wits a Vision dot com went in last Friday for
some surgery.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
I like it well, hopefully hopefully the scoreboard likes it too.

Speaker 8 (01:11:45):
Hey did the Dallas wine that last.

Speaker 1 (01:11:49):
Night, Dallas, like the Mavericks winning the draft lottery.

Speaker 8 (01:11:55):
No, yeah, I mean the basketball team.

Speaker 6 (01:11:58):
Oh well, I mean they didn't play last night, but
they won the draft lottery when that was Yeah, the Dallas,
the Dallas Mavericks are out of the playoffs.

Speaker 8 (01:12:09):
Man, that was what was.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
Minnesota and the Knicks one last night?

Speaker 8 (01:12:15):
Minnesota? H even this series up? Or? Are they pring
in one?

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
They're three and one?

Speaker 8 (01:12:24):
So who is who's who's going playing?

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
They're playing Minnesota?

Speaker 8 (01:12:38):
Are theyre series tied?

Speaker 4 (01:12:40):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
It's three one? Yeah, it's it's it's three one.

Speaker 9 (01:12:43):
Brandon.

Speaker 8 (01:12:46):
Oh wow, if if they win again, are they gonna
knock out going Sight?

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:12:55):
Minnesota just needs to win one more time and then
yeah they move on to the Western Conference finals.

Speaker 8 (01:13:00):
I will watch that game.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
There you go, there you go real quick?

Speaker 8 (01:13:03):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
What you got on these Astros?

Speaker 8 (01:13:06):
Uh? We need to win?

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Yes we do, Yes, we do.

Speaker 5 (01:13:10):
It was rough one last night from Ryan Gusto, but
you know they were able to at least make it
competitive and the Royals had to use their high leverage guys.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
The Astros didn't. So that's good.

Speaker 8 (01:13:23):
Pitching.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 5 (01:13:27):
In games, boobage is gonna go tonight for the Royals.
I thought he was going last night, but it was
Walker last night, so it's uh yeah, it's uh yeah, yeah,
it's gonna be who he is. He's really good, I mean,
but the Astros got to him in that Sunday game
the first time they played him, so you know, hopefully
they can do that again.

Speaker 8 (01:13:47):
Yeah, we need to get him again.

Speaker 5 (01:13:49):
There you go, all right, man, Well, hey, always great
to hear from me, and you know where to find us.
Ye all right, see you Brandon. Yeah, it would be
Chris boubach As the Astros got to him last time.
But outside of that start, I mean, he's been pretty
good four and two with a one six y nine
e er and the Astros in that game, I think

(01:14:12):
we're able to chase him out just after the fifth inning,
but they got to him for four runs after that though.
Sean five innings, no runs, seven innings, no runs, and
his last two starts against Baltimore in Chicago the White Sox.

Speaker 8 (01:14:25):
That is.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Yeah, I.

Speaker 7 (01:14:30):
This is.

Speaker 6 (01:14:35):
All I care about coming out of the series, aside
from WS and els is the hitting beats the dog
crap out of the pitching. Honestly, that you're not in
a position to where I'd love to see it. Wouldn't
it be nice to get into the fifth, sixth, seventh
inning where you have a comfortable lead, back to back.
They just one after the other, right, And I was
just sitting here thinking, I don't know, and with with

(01:14:56):
the rotation, I know, I'm not going three or four
starts with bad pitching.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
Does that make sense? So I just to me, it's
the hitting and the explosion of the hitting is something
I want to see where it's emphatic, I guess is
what I'm looking for.

Speaker 5 (01:15:13):
Well, you just you'd like to have that cannon shot.
You'd like to have, you know, two or three runs
in the first inning. And you're like, all right, we start,
we set the tone at a run here or there,
a couple of runs maybe a little bit later, maybe
one later in the game, and Dan.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
It goes back to me. Also is the planning of.

Speaker 6 (01:15:33):
For me is the ability not to have to plan
to use too much bullpen like yesterday, I understand it
fits in and you got it, And but you want
a key you don't.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
You don't.

Speaker 6 (01:15:43):
You don't want a two inning performance regardless of what
you don't want to lie. You got to get a
little more depth and faster starts, because you don't want
at the end of that seventeen straight to where you're like, damn,
we're taxed. You just you're gonna need what wrote Renew
Blanco brought to the time. You're not going to get
eight innings like that on a regular basis, but it

(01:16:03):
can't be three, and it can't be two and a third.

Speaker 5 (01:16:05):
Well at least, I mean hashtag good Fromber. Yeah, it
would be amazing, no question, because for everything you just mentioned,
you don't have Susa, you don't have Scott, you probably
don't have o Kerts. I mean, you don't want to
go to those guys too often this early in the season.

Speaker 6 (01:16:18):
Seven and a third where you're you're not having to
use much with a comfortable a comfortable lead yep, offensively
and get out of this thing without having a tax
that you just good good fromber gives you that he'll
work through it, and you probably got to let him
work through if he's got to get a little sideways
as long as the pitch count's not crazy, but he's
pretty efficient and he's an innings eater, and you're going

(01:16:38):
to need that because you do not want to be
nine games into this seventeen thinking.

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
What the hell are we doing here?

Speaker 6 (01:16:44):
Right, You've got which also means getting big leads so
you're not four seats. So you can have a little
comfort if you have an off inning as a pitching staff,
that the starter can still overcome that if he gives
up a run or two, that it's not the end
of the world where oh my gosh, now he's laboring
and he's getting two sideways and we got it. You know,
we're three and two thirds and now we got a

(01:17:06):
tax a bullpen again. That going into this, as I
told you, my biggest concern are they gonna rake give
a little latitude and leeway for the pitching staff without
having to get to the point where this great bullpen
at the end of it is like, Okay, we've had enough.
Then you go back to pressuring starters to go longer
than you want him to, even though it'd be nice.

Speaker 5 (01:17:25):
Well, I mean, that's why hashtag good fromer needs to
happen tonight for the reasons you just laid out. And
it's also I mean, there was a caller last night
on the postgame show. I had the same guy out
on Saturday too, after Lance's outing of you know, this
is on a spot you got to pull the guy early.
This isn't the playoffs. Like in the playoffs, you do
that because you lose four times, your season's over. As

(01:17:47):
we found out last year. You lose twice, then your
season's over. That's when you need to have that type
of that type of urgency. But when you're trying to
get to the playoffs, well then you got to have
a little bit of patience. You got to have these
guys on a little bit of a longer runway to
be able to try to work their way out of
it and save some of those arms.

Speaker 6 (01:18:07):
Well, it's a phrase you'll hear from a lot of
teams during the season that they're pitching staff starting pitching, struggling,
or the bats aren't giving them any lead to get
comfortable with where a manager has the ability to make
some decisions with this starting pitching of how long you'll
hear it across baseball time?

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
Are bullpen's tired?

Speaker 6 (01:18:23):
You hear it a lot, right, and you don't with this,
You do not want to get that here, because they've
been a lifesaver for the last couple of years.

Speaker 5 (01:18:30):
Now, they've absolutely been somebody you can count on, and
they're hoping you can continue to do that. And I
think a huge reason that you can again is if
guys like from er Valdez able to step up and
give you a great outing tonight two and four on
the season one of three ninety four.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
Er all right, it's the good luck charm for the astros.

Speaker 5 (01:18:49):
I've got an idea. I've shared it too. I'll now
share it with you the audience. We'll talk about it here.
It is Sean Salisbury show.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show sales.

Speaker 8 (01:20:42):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
Since something happened for them, and they have not stopped losing.

Speaker 6 (01:20:49):
Ever since, since something happened for them, the Saint Louis
Baseball Cardinals have won nine straight. I'm trying to think
what would have happened to the Saint Louis Cardinals.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
Impersonation warning it's coming.

Speaker 5 (01:21:06):
I don't know, Hey, man, you know what I was
in the clubhouse with those guys they sent They sent
me a great box of gear. I decided to drop
on by Bush Stadium.

Speaker 6 (01:21:16):
Didn't I see him with Nolan Aeronaudo in there and
stuff sitting in the clubhouse and he.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
Was hanging out with Nolan Aernaudo and a Lars Newt
bar all name Ars.

Speaker 5 (01:21:27):
Oh yeah, no, it's a fantastic name. But ever since
they have gone nine to zero. And I mentioned an
idea because I have floated it out to friends within
the Astros organization of saying you need to send him
some gear and if he which would be a perfect
timing really, because you want to be playing your best
baseball in August September. I'm assuming that Coach Gruden is

(01:21:49):
going to make his way around the country, hopefully too
coming here, and maybe you've got some some ways to
a channel information to him, you know, of being like, hey,
you know, Texans are gonna have a pretty good team
this year. Maybe maybe should come to Texans training camp.
And if you do, why don't you drop on over
to Dyke and Park.

Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
Come on in for uh yeah, we'll come on in
for a couple hours on the radio.

Speaker 5 (01:22:12):
But love to have that too, Yeah, dude, you like
to be fun radio top five list of like white
Whales in you know, anywhere, entertainment, sports music.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
He definitely one of your guys. Yes, he'll be fun
to talk for sure. Love that. Yes, So, like I
like where you're headed with this.

Speaker 5 (01:22:30):
And I've I've floated that idea out to them of saying, hey,
maybe maybe it's time to get coach Gruden in here
any great and because it'd be interesting to see him
go through the clubhouse, Like I think Joe and the
coaches would know who he is because you know, you've
seen him for years. Everybody like you think that Jordan
Alvarez has any idea who John Gruden is? You think
I think he probably does, you think so? Yeah, especially
if he's a football fan. Yeah, okay, if not, he'll

(01:22:53):
know when they say the name that's John Goden. Oh yeah, yeah, Chuck.

Speaker 6 (01:22:58):
Yeah, I would say that he probably even though he
hasn't coached from you know, since the Raiders and with
Monday Night Football Raiders and has been out of it
for couples, I would think that most people Gruden has
been pretty the name alone. But yeah, if you don't
know him, then you'll you'll catch on quick.

Speaker 5 (01:23:16):
Have you watched his unboxing videos that he does, like
whenever say like, University of Texas sent up.

Speaker 6 (01:23:21):
A box and like you said, to unboxed. I think
he said he has boxing. I've seen a couple of
like three or four of them.

Speaker 5 (01:23:28):
Yeah, and like he you know, he he gets he
gets the box cutter out starts cutting it and he's like,
you know, say it's a boxing University of Texas, the
University of Texas man, Darryl k Royal, Earl Campbell, Yeah
what Ricky Williams, you know what what a what a racket?

Speaker 6 (01:23:44):
You're John Gruden. You just asked for boxes, I know.
But then people start sending yeah, I mean it's a
great once you say it once. Now everybody wants to
be in the mix, and you just say, he just
starts sending him. So he's getting all kinds of great stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
I haven't, and you know, to personalize it here and
bring it back to us, make it about us. Is
I have no shame. You know, if you you got gear,
you're willing to share the gear. I'll wear your gear,
damn right, I will absolutely.

Speaker 5 (01:24:08):
I mean even if, like you know, I remember I
went to a thing once in Alabama football. I got
a shirt and I wore it once in somebody who
aren't you an LSU fan? I said it was a
nice shirt, and Crimson actually looked pretty good on me.

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
So I don't. I don't. I'm not one of those guys.
I'm a USC fan.

Speaker 6 (01:24:25):
But if I get a Stanford or Cal Berkeley shirt, yeah,
or Michigan shirt or you'll house State, I can wear it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
So you might as will wear it if they're playing
him that day.

Speaker 5 (01:24:32):
And of course, but here's the thing that's a pet
peeve of mine is like, you know, you go work
out and like one day I was wearing a Florida
State shirt. Hey, once you went at Georgia shirt last week?
What do you a Florida State fan? First It's like,
first off, I'm about to work out don't talk to me.
Second off, it's it's a shirt that I got for free,
so you know, guess what I'm about to sweat in it?

Speaker 1 (01:24:53):
So that's why I'm wearing it. Yeah, your own business.
I've never had enough. I mean I can wear.

Speaker 6 (01:25:00):
Have Texas Rangers hat, I have Houston Astro's hat I have.
There's only two hats I mean that I probably wouldn't
buy is a Yankee hat, respect the organization, but red
so I can't. And as a Trojan, it's just I
don't have any U c l A gear and I
got a lot of buddies. I'm not just, I just
I just won't buy it exactly. So, But as a

(01:25:23):
USC fan, can I wear a Texas baseball cap?

Speaker 1 (01:25:27):
Oh? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:25:28):
Can I wear a sleeved baseball shirt that's technical? You
know it's it's Arizona State. Sure, I don't have a
problem with that, Yes, I like, I mean, you can
you can love golf and wear a different brand of shirt, right, Yeah,
I don't have a problem with it at all.

Speaker 5 (01:25:44):
So shameless just it's not even a plug. It's just
out there any equipment guys who maybe have some stuff
lying around.

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
I'm a double X so.

Speaker 6 (01:25:53):
You're gonna go on the Gruden copycat. Yeah, I like
you know what, paying for it?

Speaker 1 (01:25:57):
Imitation imitations, form of flatter.

Speaker 5 (01:26:00):
Yeah, let's pine for me. We will unbox it right
here for you, will put the video up. We got
it all and we'll wear the gear.

Speaker 6 (01:26:07):
Don't just stop there. I mean if your company has
phones or you got cars to send them all, sure
we'll take whatever you said. Yeah, you know, I'm I'm
just limited to sports. I'm for hire all I can
be bought. Yeah, absolutely for certain thanks. Yeah, I was
gonna say, yeah, there's there's certain works will work for food, Yeah,
you know, absolutely no doubt.

Speaker 5 (01:26:26):
You want to throw that at me, some brisket stuff
like that. Trust me, I didn't get this physique by mistake.

Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
All right.

Speaker 5 (01:26:33):
With the off season raging on, soon enough will be
a training camp. You want to know why things aren't
the way they used to be. I'll give you a
specific example that's coming up right here. It does the
Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
KT Houston, k TV E HD two Houston. I heard
radio station the Rocket.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Sports talks seven your Home for your home teams from
the Parsons that matchine next studios.

Speaker 1 (01:27:06):
Say okay, let's do this. Sewn Salisbury.

Speaker 9 (01:27:16):
To usc troupe, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
Dan matthewscuse. This is the Seawan Salisbury Show.

Speaker 5 (01:27:27):
As we get into the eight o'clock hour here on
the Seawan Salisbury Show, Astros Lewis. Last night seven five
to the Royals. Rockets are picking number ten in the
NBA Draft as lottery held last night, we got the Mavericks,
and the Mavericks are the top team in the NBA

(01:27:48):
Draft lottery. And the international games announced this season. Only
one game has not had the other opponent announced, but
the other six well none of them are the Texas
in that one, so the Texans don't have to be
international travelers this season. We know that the schedule comes
out tomorrow night. Sean, You've got training camp coming our

(01:28:11):
way here in about a couple of months. And I mean,
you hear it all the time. I'm sure of people who, oh,
you know, Sean, they don't train like you guys used to,
or you know, these guys just aren't as tough anymore,
any of those different types of things. But Brian Cushing
was recently on a podcast, and I don't have the
podcast name, but he had talked about his career, and

(01:28:35):
his line in it is he said that he had
four or five surgeries every single off season, that he
had twenty seven surgeries during his career. He's lucky that
he is even able to walk in his post career.
So again, I point back to whenever people again the toughness,

(01:28:56):
all of these other things that people throw at the players.
That's something that I point back to, and I say,
that is why that is the case, is because these
guys they're beat up enough, no need to add more.

Speaker 1 (01:29:08):
Yeah, I would think so.

Speaker 4 (01:29:10):
And but.

Speaker 6 (01:29:13):
Do you I say, I don't think it's the player
that's softer. I think the setup of the league. Don't
you agree that the setup of the league and the
way the rules are and the collective bargain agreement force
do you deal, okay, like a guy like Cushing. Could
he have played in nineteen eighty Oh yeah, easily? Okay,
think about in every sport the rules are set up.

(01:29:34):
Do you really look at let's say, give me somebody
these Do you think TJ. Watt's soft?

Speaker 4 (01:29:40):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:29:40):
Right, So.

Speaker 6 (01:29:43):
I believe he could have played in the eighties, right,
I'm just using him as an example. The reason I'm
saying this is that you're right beating him down with
more the bodies, they're worn out. But I also think
that we're not in the middle of it. We went
from one extreme to the other, like from training camp
to se and I personally, when it comes to the

(01:30:03):
rules are set up to force less punishment, less less, less,
less less, get paid more and more and more, so
inevitably the play is going to look different. The toughness
is going to be questioned. The NBA's athletes, So let's
use them as an example for a second. Dan, the
NBA's athletes. Do you think the athletes are good enough
to play in the eighties? Are talking about the athlete

(01:30:26):
just athletic, athletically right? Yeah, Now, problem's got a better
Who's got a better chance of succeeding Lawrence Taylor in
this league or Michael Parsons in the other league back
in the in the eighties, MICHAEH.

Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
Parsons?

Speaker 6 (01:30:42):
Oh see, I disagree. I I completely disagree. Lawrence Taylor
playing in this league with the rules, Oh I I disagree.
It's like who's who? Who's better? Dak Prescott against eighties defenses,
Dan Reno against now Reno. Okay, so NBA Larry Bird

(01:31:04):
better then or better better now?

Speaker 5 (01:31:06):
With the three point shooting. I'd say probably he'd be
even better now in less physicality.

Speaker 6 (01:31:10):
Yeah, Okay, Bob Gibson now, Bob Gibson then Bob Gibson
now from er Valdez in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (01:31:22):
Hmmm.

Speaker 5 (01:31:24):
I mean pitching was definitely in vogue back then. I mean,
but it's hard to go against Bob Babson. Gibson is
the bean ball, right, and we don't right? Can you
handle that? I'm talking about all the rules, the toughness.
So the perception is players are I think still tough.
But now I want you to think about training camps

(01:31:44):
and how much they did then six weeks guys, that
extra job six weeks and to now we're in three weeks.
You're basically done, but add more so, what is your
thought I'd like to know your thought process on the
overall You mentioned Cushing, how you feel about tell me
what you'd do? Oh, I do exactly what you're doing now,

(01:32:04):
because I mean, again, the seventeen week season.

Speaker 6 (01:32:07):
It's hard enough as is. You don't want an eighteenth game, No,
you'd rather have three preseason? What if I said three
preseason games seventeen or two preseason games eighteen, and the
players get paid for that extra eighteenth game. They add
that on and an addendum to the contract. It's not
just broken up into one eighteenth as opposed to you
know what.

Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
They add the money.

Speaker 6 (01:32:25):
Yeah, and the two preseason games training camps the same length,
but it's just two preseason games and you're adding a
regular season game. Wouldn't are you more interested in watching
a third preseason game or an eighteenth regular.

Speaker 1 (01:32:36):
Season Well, I mean yeah, you put it that way.
Of course, an eighteenth regular season game.

Speaker 6 (01:32:40):
And don't you think the players with the way training
camp and the answer the beginning part of this, don't
you think they're fresher. They may be a little more
the sluggish playerly when I say sluggish, more mistakes early
because training camp is not as precise and dynamic and
as long, and they may have fresh legs. But don't
you think at the end of the season players should

(01:33:02):
be fresher and needing a lot less rest because the
rules and the way the collective Barney agreement, Because a
lot of times when you're worn out in September, it
stays with you the whole season or August or what
have you when training camp ends. So I don't have
a problem with an eighth thing.

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
It's coming.

Speaker 6 (01:33:21):
The eighteenth game is coming sooner rather than no question
about it. To me, I'm all for doing away with
preseason games and doing like college football.

Speaker 1 (01:33:31):
I think coaches would be fine with that an eighteenth game.

Speaker 6 (01:33:34):
Let us have a certain amount of time where a lot,
like in the springtime, like in high school or in college.
I don't know what the exact rule is, but you're
allowed so many days on the field with your kids,
right as a coach and a staff, sure, and so
many hours a day. Collective bargain has gotten so out
of hand. Guys, are you know, playing two and a
half three weeks of training camp and it's good. You

(01:33:55):
can't practice two days in a row in pads, or
two practices in a ro own pads, all those things,
So why not practice against other teams? You get your
whatever within a month. You've got to get your three
weeks and whatever that is and eliminate the games. Teams
are already doing that, right Elia. You're not playing your
stars in the first game anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:34:12):
Like, remember the Rams came here last year and none
of the starters played right because they said, we got
the work in during the week, we're good.

Speaker 9 (01:34:18):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:34:19):
Let the guys who are trying to make the team
the truth.

Speaker 6 (01:34:21):
Are you seeing more in two two hour practices against
somebody else, or more in ten plays in a preseason
game the practice, get rid of the preseason games, give
them the window to get it done. All on the
same footing. It's all the same. If you start slow,
you're gonna start slowly. Way I have two preseason games,
you only at camp for three weeks or whatever it is.
Give them like a four week window to get their

(01:34:41):
three plus weeks in and let's hit the ground run
and play eighteen games.

Speaker 1 (01:34:45):
No preseason games.

Speaker 6 (01:34:47):
Schedule, and if you don't want to schedule any other
team to play against, that's on you. You're not forced
to do it. But if you want open it up,
open those practices up, put fans in the stands. If
you're gonna let it free, do away with the in
the preseason because you're really making a team. But you're
daily grind with a coach seeing you in the meeting room,
and practice, practice, practice, and then your attention to detail,

(01:35:09):
you can work more, You get more done, practice and
then you do adjustments at halftime in a preseason freaking game.
Do away with preseason games, go at it like college
football does, and then play an eighteen game schedule. Give
them a certain amount of time in July and August
to get there, three weeks or three and a half
weeks of training camp in and give them all a
week off once the preseason's over, a week off to

(01:35:32):
get healthy. The following week you play, and let's go.

Speaker 5 (01:35:36):
I mean, let's just take you, for example, for the
years that you played and the training camps you went through. Again,
you know, it's much different than it is now with
the training camp rules as you laid out. I mean,
you probably played two or three extra years, right without
going through some of the camps that you guys went through.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
I played, I mean I.

Speaker 6 (01:35:56):
I've stopped playing at thirty three, thirty two or thirty three.
I had five six years left in me, but I
wanted to make it was time. I knew when it
was time sure for me mentally as that I was
looking forward to the broadcast career. And I got right
and it was fortunate. But could have played longer. I oh,
with now's training camp, if you played twelve years. You're
playing seventeen or eighteen. It doesn't you don't. I mean

(01:36:19):
the better part, I think about this for four to
six weeks. You're a guy like Bruce Matthews who played
nineteen years, Think how many dim many years a game?
Think how many years he spent in the dorm room.
There's about the same amount that you'd send your kids
to two years of college. I mean, it's crazy. Think
about Braid. I mean there's even at my position, you

(01:36:40):
just like hell, you'd say I got seven eight years left,
I'll play twenty years played ten. I'll play eighteen years
doing that. If you're you, you can get out quicker
because there's more money, But you can also stay longer
and get more money on the back end because your
body should be a little fresher. Because training camp, training
camp used to beat p people up. Training camp no

(01:37:01):
longer beats people up. It's I hate to say this,
but the lineman won't agree. But for perimeter people and
for the length of it, it's more country club than ever.
And that's why you see slow starts a lot of times,
offense and getting rolled in and take because they're still
in training camp mode. Get rid of the preseason games.
Give me eighteen games and practice against other teams you
scheduled how you want. You take away the game risk injury,
you already know on the practice field ninety percent of

(01:37:23):
your roster anyway, and you can have live seven on
seven live blitz pick up. I learn more about my
guy watching him every day than ten snaps in a
preseason game.

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
I just do.

Speaker 8 (01:37:34):
Let me do.

Speaker 6 (01:37:35):
That will be good to go. These guys can handle it.
Their bodies are just fine. The rules have made us
think they're soft. They're not soft.

Speaker 1 (01:37:42):
They're plenty strong and tough, but the rules are set
up for them to be far fresher. They just are. Yeah.
I mean that's the thing too. You see some of
these old school guys.

Speaker 5 (01:37:52):
You know, you shake a hand and you feel like
you got fingers going every single direction because you know,
somebody reaches out their hand and you're just like, oh
my god, I don't know if I want to shake
this guy's hand, because you know, just from all of
the injuries that he put on during his career and
probably a little bit less sophisticated you know, sports medicine

(01:38:13):
that we have now. But I just saw that from
Brian Kushing and I just thought that was nuts, but anyway,
just wanted to share that with the class. Bill Belichick.
Seems like the damage control is in full force right now.
We'll discuss that here as we continue on the Shawn
Salisbury Show Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 6 (01:38:32):
Sort of pro painters sort of with a C sert
ofpro dot com for your free estimate. Each and every
sort of pro business is individually owned and operated. You
want to dress up your home, give it a new
fresh look for the spring, they can help you pick
out the paint local and they're timely, and they'll treat
your home the way it's supposed to be, like it's
their own. When it comes to making it look good.
Don't just stop at the home, what about the business

(01:38:53):
as well. Interior X Here you've got a group that's
going to do it right and a company that cares.
As a guy who is customer of surt of Pro,
I'm so glad I chose them over my DIY because
it looks great and if there was.

Speaker 1 (01:39:05):
Anything wrong they had to come back and fix it.
They didn't have to.

Speaker 6 (01:39:08):
That's how efficient they were. It's sort of with the
Sea sort of pro painters. Listen, it's expensive to own
a home and a business. Why not make it look better.
It's a pretty simple concept, right, and they can help.
And twenty five hundred dollars or more spent on a
paint job at your home. Twenty five hundred dollars did
you spend that or more? You get ten percent discount

(01:39:29):
between now and May fifteen. Spend twenty five one hundred

Speaker 2 (01:39:46):
Ninety, Home of the Rockets, Astros and the best line
up in Houston Sports.

Speaker 1 (01:39:52):
Now back to Sean Salisbury.

Speaker 5 (01:39:55):
And today it's not necessarily about her, but it's more
about Bill Belichick. So it does seem like the damage
control is being done. I know there's reports out there,
Like we talked about it last Friday, she's been banned
from the facility, her being Jordan, but then UNC coming
out saying no, she's not in an official capacity with us,

(01:40:15):
but she's not banned from the facility and there's other
things that have come out ever since, but Bill looks
like he is looking to get back out on the
interview trail. So today the ACC meetings are happening there
in Florida, and Sports Center supposed to sit down with him.
I think at one o'clock our time. That's when that's
supposed to happen. He's gonna go on Good Morning America

(01:40:37):
with Michael Strahan on Friday. And people are also wondering
if there are any conditions that Strayhan has to agree
to here, Like I have to believe that also too.
With Bill, it's a you know, pick safe places to go.
ESPN obviously a partner with the ACC, so you don't
want to ruffle feathers there. And then this one Michael
Strahan probably a mutual respect there from the playing days.

(01:41:00):
Obviously beat him in a Super Bowl. But I'm guessing
that it's pretty much understood at that point. Yeah, don't
don't do the personal stuff. Let's keep it between the lines,
if you will. But Bill at least trying to get
himself back out there after the train wreck that was
on CBS a few weeks ago.

Speaker 6 (01:41:17):
See, I think that would be a mistake to put
limitations on it. He's a grown ass man. He was
in the media between coaching gigs. I think by saying
you're not allowed to ask personal questions, it raises more
personal questions. Nobody really cares right now about Belichick coaching
the New England Patriots. Nobody cares today about who's Bill's

(01:41:39):
quarterback in the fall. They just don't. I hate to
say it, they don't. The national people right now around
the league, there's not one person talking about what is
the x's and O, Who's going to do How's Bill
going to do it? We're talking about the disruption. Is
she a distraction? It's odd they may be in love Dan.

Speaker 1 (01:41:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:41:58):
Okay, as I say it with a roll, miyes, maybe
they are. She likes older men. Apparently you saw Bill
with the dad. It almost looked like Bill had hired
the guy as a graduate assistant. The dad was his
graduate assistant, and they were having a film study session
at the beauty pageant or whatever the hell that thing,
talent show, whatever that is.

Speaker 1 (01:42:19):
I think it is a beauty pageant. Is that what
that was?

Speaker 6 (01:42:21):
He was, Yeah, miss okay, yeah, there you go. So
with that, then you ask yourself. Okay, So name me
the last time you heard anybody ask a question about
x's and o's, So to turn it off. Note right now,
Michael Strahan honestly doesn't care if he's running a three
four or four three defense.

Speaker 1 (01:42:39):
Right and that's not even a winning chatter.

Speaker 6 (01:42:41):
Right now, everybody knows why he's going on the circuit
now to address questions about a twenty a young twenty
seven year old.

Speaker 1 (01:42:49):
Who is she banned? Is she not? Is she your
director of ops?

Speaker 7 (01:42:52):
Is she not?

Speaker 4 (01:42:53):
Is she?

Speaker 1 (01:42:54):
Are you in love? Are you not?

Speaker 6 (01:42:56):
What's the how are you dealing with the medals? Is
North Carolina on board of this? Did they hire somebody
from the Bears to help you through this and guide
you through this? As far as where are we with this?
We'll get to now listen if he'll answer those questions,
there's some football. Okay, let's get to the real thing.
How's your football team ready for the fall? What's been

(01:43:16):
the biggest difference between early start your off see your
first off seasons the Patriots head coach and your first
off season is North Carolina head coach? What's it like
your first season being a head coach in college football?
Has any of this. The media coverage of you been fair.
Do you love this girl? I would ask it, are
you in love with her? Well, that's none of your business, Okay,

(01:43:38):
i'd ask it. It may not be about I got
to ask it, all right, So do you understand the optics?
And he'll say I don't really care about the optics.
Oh great, at least he answered it. But imagine I
wouldn't take the interview. I wouldn't if you told me.
If you told me I had to come on here
every week and talk to Dana Brown and not ask

(01:43:59):
him tough questions, and it was like everything you do
had to favor. You couldn't question if they had a
bad day. You couldn't question, couldn't question a trade, couldn't
ask him about signing Kyle Tucker. You couldn't talk to
him about asking the question about have they started conversations
with Promper, which I've asked. If I was told by
my boss here, our boss or the astros, you're not
allowed to ask anything other than everything's got to be

(01:44:21):
upbeatn positive.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
I wouldn't do it well because it puts you.

Speaker 6 (01:44:25):
You lose credibility, and I'm not willing to do that
at the expense of being an ass kisser, because you
can't do it fair and the fans don't deserve you
to do I know that's Homer, do you want it
all good? But can you imagine walking out here and
you say, are you going to address this injury? Or
did you address this? I just I wouldn't do it
because not only would my credibility, but you'd be a
reflection of it because you're on the show. The network

(01:44:45):
people say, what are they doing over there? That's a
waste of everyone's time. It is, but it's also it's
not the way you go about things if you're trying
to get a message across in a fair baseball, football,
basketball message. Now, if all you do is attack and
it's per personal when you interview somebody, then there's no
room for that.

Speaker 1 (01:45:02):
I wouldn't come on if somebody was asking me these
things all the time.

Speaker 6 (01:45:05):
But in Bill's situation, there's no hard damage done so
far as far as maybe to his reputation. That's the
hardest damage that's self inflicted, though, is that most of
it's come from you. Guys are parading this relationship out
there and she's walking on the field in go go boots.
And that's one hundred and eighty degrees different from the
way you ran it when you were with the Fellaws
coaching in New England.

Speaker 1 (01:45:25):
And these kids are going to need discipline. So when
they see you do it, what do you expect from
all these questions? I would ask.

Speaker 6 (01:45:30):
And if you say, you can't talk about his girl,
you can't talk about the CBS interview that you had
a couple of weeks ago, you can't talk about our relationship,
you can't talk about her at all, no question with her,
I would say, Bill, then we'll see you in the
fall when season starts, and we'll talk to you then.
And if I'm Bill, I want the questions because I

(01:45:51):
want to get and answer them. Honestly, we're working through
a relationship. I'm not whether we love it, will work
to it, or she's not going to do this. But
he is a big part of my life. But I
understand the optics. It's all these questions that you got
to go through. I think it would be a major
pr mistake in the Belichick camp to not being able
to allow nobody cares if their quarterback can throw a

(01:46:12):
comeback right now, other than the team and going on,
but outside it not a soul wants to know who
your number one receiver is in the media.

Speaker 1 (01:46:20):
Will you want to know, dude, what the hell's going on?
This is not like you? Is this the new you?
Is this the way you go about it? Or is
it a kinder gentler?

Speaker 6 (01:46:27):
Is it a I mean, is there anything about this
that's going to disrupt the way we're talking about you?
Or the way all these questions? It's not personal. They
made it personal by making the public, so we have
to at least ask the question. Now, you don't need
to go and say, are you two just sleeping together
because she's young and she wants your money and you
want her because she's young and you think she's hot. Now,

(01:46:48):
who would ask that question? You got to be an idiot.
There's a way to get that answer by asking a
question that's open ended. Let him answer it. The more
you just leave it go and let him answer it,
a lot of guys will talk their way into an answer.
You say, man, I got an answer, and I didn't
even have to ask that question. So yeah, no, you
put restrictions on it. Why why would I do it?

(01:47:12):
I have the question already? Why why still? Coach I mean,
if you should, that should be asked again. Are you
still as passionate about coaching as you were in New England?
Do you love it as much?

Speaker 1 (01:47:24):
Are you are? I mean are is?

Speaker 6 (01:47:27):
Did you not devote enough time? Are you devoting enough time?
Is the same commitment there? It's okay to ask that.
He would ask it of a player. Why can't you
ask it of the coach? Yeah, if there's restrictions, I'm
not interested and I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do
it here and I wouldn't do it there. If they
called me and said, Sean, you want to interview him
for us?

Speaker 1 (01:47:46):
Yeah, well what what? What's the restrictions?

Speaker 6 (01:47:48):
Well, you can't ask one question about his relationship with
this girl and she can't be involved in any question
about what her relationship is with North Carolina the team,
and the saying okay, cool, Well then you can ask
somebody else, because my credibility is going to be crushed
because I'm saying, you mean, you didn't answer the elephant
the room. And even if they say there was restrictions,
we all still look at and say you should have
asked anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:48:08):
But I wouldn't do that.

Speaker 6 (01:48:08):
If somebody put restrictions, then you're breaking the line of
integrity by saying, yeah, I told you I wouldn't ask it,
but I'm gonna ask it anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:48:16):
Now, there may be ways to get around it. That
hope he leads to that.

Speaker 6 (01:48:19):
But if putting restrictions on it does nothing to me
but take away our credibility, or my credibility or my
in CBS and ESPN's credibility about that, you can't put restrictions.
And if you're Bill Belichick, you're on this circuit for
one reason, to clear the air about what's going on
about that relationship and how it's going to affect North Carolina,
those kids and your football program moving forward. Nobody cares

(01:48:42):
what you're doing behind closed doors at midnight. Well, some
may that's not the what you do behind closed doors
your business, but you are doing it with somebody that
when you're ninety five, she'll be in her forties.

Speaker 5 (01:48:55):
I've used this saying before, I'm not in this world
to do you any favors. I'm not in this world
to do your PR. You want to do your own PR,
do your own PR, but I'm not going to play
along with it.

Speaker 6 (01:49:04):
And I'm not in this relationship to bury in this
interview or this business to bury your relationship. We all
laugh about it and joke and at his expense, of
course we do, and rightfully so, because the optics are weird.
But if they get married in love and they have
three kids, I'm just saying, if they do, maybe they
did have a different plan than we all thought. Right,

(01:49:26):
But I think the initial is how's this going to last?
With her doing this and the age gap. It's a
normal question, but there's a way to ask it without
being so invasive. You make it feel like that he's
some kind of heal or doing the wrong thing. She's
of age and he's older to say the least, and
it's weird. So you can ask it. But the restrictions

(01:49:46):
on this. Belichick should say, you could ask me anything
you want, be prepared for my answer, but you should ask.

Speaker 1 (01:49:52):
There is no restrictions, and then we go from there.

Speaker 5 (01:49:55):
If he's getting outside PR help, then probably that does
feed into why I was doing.

Speaker 6 (01:49:59):
Simply say, if I was this PR person, don't put
any restrictions on him. You're a grown ass man. You've
been after super Bowl games, you've been divorced, you're going
through this you know what it's like to get fired
as a coach, all those things, and you're the best
coach in NFL history.

Speaker 1 (01:50:12):
I mean, you got all these things. You've answered plenty.

Speaker 6 (01:50:15):
Answer the honest question about you in the relationship and
what her relationship with North Carolines is not that hard
And if you don't want to answer it without putting it,
without putting restrictions on it, just simply say, you know what,
that's a place I don't really want to go right now.
Her and I sleep schedule is none of your business,
and that's okay, continue the interview.

Speaker 1 (01:50:33):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (01:50:33):
So putting restrictions on it makes everybody look dumb and
there's no transparency. And if I don't ask you, then
it makes us look like we're ill prepared and you
lose credibility. And I just wouldn't do it.

Speaker 5 (01:50:47):
You laugh, though there are people who will take them
up on that. Hey, coach, I want to ask you
about your left guard. Oh, you know, he's from our
town in North Carolina.

Speaker 6 (01:50:56):
Guess what I don't care about today? His left guard
I don't care about as well near it as anybody else.
And they know it, including straight Hand's interview in ESPN's interview.
We'll go find out watch you. Let's find out how
much ask us and a somebody's really willing to ask
a fair and honest question line without being an ask clown,

(01:51:17):
and the questions asked, and Bill being willing to look
at it in the face because the truth is, if
he's vulnerable to this, people will appreciate it more.

Speaker 5 (01:51:25):
It's not only that, but I mean I think also
people just appreciate it's been answered, it's been asked, it's
been answered, it's out there.

Speaker 1 (01:51:31):
And then then his answer from there on I said,
I answered that. You can see it.

Speaker 6 (01:51:35):
Here's the clip, go go, I don't need to answer
to find my answer is not changing this is it?
No problem? Go back to his abrasive self. I like
Bill always have. He's always been good to me. But
I'm still going to ask those questions. You could say
no comment fifteen times in a row if you want.
Now you're just opening up your pr How more questions
are going to be asked? That's it's gonna be. It's

(01:51:55):
gonna be a will of attrition. If Bill Belichick wants
to go into this football season focusing on football, one
is they got to change the optics, so what we're
seeing every day. But two is he's got to answer
the question because when he gets to camp, the first
question won't be who's your quarterback? It'll be what's your
how's the relationship? What's she doing here for North Carolina. Yeah,
that's just the way it is now. He can squelch

(01:52:17):
it early if he wants to.

Speaker 5 (01:52:19):
Yeah, I mean, and sometimes people don't necessarily take advantage
of that opportunity.

Speaker 1 (01:52:22):
Biscuit. I'll see you guys, Get you guys involved.

Speaker 5 (01:52:25):
Also to we back into the Astros conversation, because this
guy has been a difference maker.

Speaker 1 (01:52:31):
How much we'll discuss here. Sean Salisbury Show. The Seawn
Southbury Show continues, at.

Speaker 5 (01:52:40):
Least it has not been confirmed by the team but
Ari Alexander. First, it was Lea Van of cron dot
Com reporting that Colton Gordon is going to indeed make
his major league debut and start for the Astros tomorrow
night two fifty five e r A in eight starts
this season with Triple A sugar Land and forty three

(01:53:00):
k's and forty two in a third innings, So hopefully
he can bring that over to the Stroke.

Speaker 6 (01:53:06):
I Meean, Matt Thomas to ring some umpire people up today.
I didn't Vaddy to come in here and just start
going like Frank Pully old school.

Speaker 1 (01:53:14):
You know, he's a big umpire guy.

Speaker 6 (01:53:16):
Yeah, yeah, I like it when he comes in here
like Nestor Shylac and who else does he do?

Speaker 1 (01:53:22):
Does he do?

Speaker 7 (01:53:23):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:53:24):
He does? Frank Pulley, doesn't he do? Maybe Paul or
ed Rungy old school? Yeah? Yeah, Matt's got him down, man,
Tim Timmins, does he do.

Speaker 8 (01:53:35):
That?

Speaker 5 (01:53:36):
Was? That was the guy that wouldn't wouldn't Timmins, the
guy that was a big workout guy.

Speaker 10 (01:53:40):
Jack.

Speaker 1 (01:53:41):
Yeah, he had he had the guns going out. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:53:45):
The guys try to yoke up a little bit. Yeah,
you know, he says, breaks out everybody. Everybody talks about Hockeyle,
what about me?

Speaker 1 (01:53:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:53:51):
What about Dutch Rentard? Oh he's got some Dutch rendered
in him probably. Yeah, Cuzy, big Phil Cuzy guy.

Speaker 1 (01:54:00):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (01:54:00):
All the best throwouts of all time. He threw Alex
introwing out of a game.

Speaker 1 (01:54:04):
F you me, F you right.

Speaker 6 (01:54:06):
You gotta like the umpires will sling a fall right back.
You gotta love Cowboy Joe and the rest of them.

Speaker 1 (01:54:12):
He did that for me.

Speaker 5 (01:54:14):
Get out or you didn't even say get out, you
just is you're out of here. It was a point
of F me you and the f you was at
the point at the same time right having him out
there you go. He got it all in at once,
no doubt. Love it. Gotta love umpires with with some personality.
Wish there were more of I do that. I do

(01:54:34):
miss that from all time, our umpires that were that
got caught up there like play, they talking with the
player and having fun.

Speaker 6 (01:54:41):
Now it's like it feels like it's just constant battle,
right you not getting a strike, You gotta argue every call.
Sometimes they're just having a day and umpire couldn't you
know it was there was a lot you know, Ron Luciano,
we had a lot more Eric Greg you know, we
had some Dutch render, like we said, a lot of
good personality where it was like they felt like they
were part of the dudes right as opposed to now,

(01:55:02):
doesn't it feel like it's like.

Speaker 1 (01:55:04):
I can't stand you can't stand me. If you miss
we're gonna just and.

Speaker 6 (01:55:07):
With all the you know where you get the assignments. Yeah,
no question, have you guys seen I mean, I understand
having fun. Have you seen some of the college baseball
bat flip cellar. We are at a but we are
at a hand The kid who's I saw the other one,
the kid who's this, he plays, he's a highly recruited

(01:55:27):
safety and he plays for University of Texas. I think
his safety and he's a he's it's a freshman. And
then he drew a walk. Dude, his constant staring and
stepping out in front of Oh yeah, just exactly. It's like,
I understand fun, but I mean, we got guys walking.
It's getting to the point if dude, I I I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:55:50):
Not real patient with that.

Speaker 6 (01:55:51):
As if I was a player, I love the I
love excitement, but there are certain where the the the over,
but you're you're begging to get hit. I would not
be Yeah, I'd probably lead college baseball and hit batsman.
I'm not sure that. Well, don't throw him a strike?
Well I didn't. He walked and stepped out front a
whole plate. Duf that that's a fist fight way down.

(01:56:13):
I love the enthusiasm and a greats for gamesman ship.
But we've gotten to the point where we're talking more
about the celebrations on times that really weren't celebratory as
opposed to how it happened. I mean, we're talking more
about that than we are about the baseball. Crazy man,
Texas was eight to one at that point.

Speaker 1 (01:56:30):
That's exactly right they were.

Speaker 6 (01:56:32):
The game was And now I've seen a lot of
teams run nine run inning selling college baseball may and
I love the kids enthusiasm. I just thought at that
point in time, I don't even remember his name, but
he's I know, he's a highly ranked seconds like safety
and a really good baseball player, and he was so maybe,
you know, off the bench he wanted maybe that was

(01:56:53):
his rally cry to you know, get going. But yeah,
he went Soto times five, down eight to one and
drew a walk. And it's like, if you're the picture
the next time up or another team, dude, you you
have to hit him.

Speaker 7 (01:57:06):
Oh you have to.

Speaker 1 (01:57:08):
And I like and I'd like this enthusiasm.

Speaker 6 (01:57:09):
It just misplaced at the time, But man, dude, we
are the enthusiasm and we could use some umpire enthusiasm.

Speaker 1 (01:57:18):
I can do without the ump show.

Speaker 6 (01:57:19):
Like to your point, yeah, I'm not talking about the
stand make it about you, but I'm talking about the interaction.

Speaker 1 (01:57:25):
I like the micd up interaction with players. They used
to have one, like.

Speaker 6 (01:57:27):
Earl Weaver and with Bobby cox Is in the world.
I kind of like the you know, Sparky Anderson. It
made for good baseball. We don't have enough of that anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:57:35):
My favorite was Jared Jones walked off Tennessee for LSU
in a game a few weeks ago and he hit
it and he I mean, he hit a shot.

Speaker 1 (01:57:43):
It went over the batter's eye.

Speaker 5 (01:57:44):
It was he destroyed it and the umpire behind home
plates trying to get him the run, and I love
he's leaning back talking to him and he goes, game's over.

Speaker 1 (01:57:52):
The game is over. Like no, like we won the game,
and I said, an absolute shot. So no, celebrate away.

Speaker 6 (01:58:00):
Yeah, and the college, you know they have long You know,
Tennessee is getting into a lot of Tennessee celebrate their asshole.

Speaker 1 (01:58:05):
It's not a series unless Tennessee gets into it. There's
no doubt.

Speaker 6 (01:58:09):
If there's no fight or bitch clearing brawl or bitch
a bullpit empty Tennessee hadn't played the game, and I
do I see I fall into the the old school
part of me says, no problems celebrate you're getting hit though.
You know what I'm saying. I threw a pitch that
you homered on, right, and you taunted so bad to
walk off. My bad, But I'm not going to forget it.

(01:58:29):
You'll walk in an eight to one lead. Matter of fact,
I'm more apt to hit you after you gave me
the Soto play on an eight to one deficit late
in the game, more than I am than I threw
a pitch and you just hammered it. I'm going to
tip my hat and say you were better than me
on that one. But the walk down eight to one,
I'm hitting him the next time, or at least he's
gonna have to get out of the way of four
straight fastballs at his ribcage.

Speaker 8 (01:58:50):
Right.

Speaker 6 (01:58:50):
That's the old school part of me. The new school
part of me says, dude, we can use some a
little extra energy and enthusias, and college baseball has it.
The problem is there with seventh graders are trying to
do it now too right. It's a little a tad
bit overboard, But I do like the I like the
you're down for guy homers. Now there's a walk and

(01:59:12):
the antietay is going through college baseball. Matter of fact,
of all the sports and truth in truth, there's no
more enthusiasm as far as like the games ship and
almost boarding on overboard at times, which is okay, that's
the picture's job, in the other team's job to cool
it down, but it's it's overboard at times.

Speaker 1 (01:59:31):
Like you said the walk, come on, man, slow down.

Speaker 6 (01:59:33):
But if you really want enthusiasm when it comes to
just college sports period A and M playing Texas, Tennessee
playing Vanderbilt, dude, there's no more enthusiasm or crap talking
in sports right now at any level, maybe high school
then college baseball. So it's kind of that that the

(01:59:54):
new school part of me is like chip away, man,
I understand talks to me. You just you just went
you went up or tank on the guy, you ended it.
And it's a rival and whether it's Tennessee and VANDAM,
but Vanderbilt's all one of the best baseball programs in America. Boom,
let's go. But you're down eight to one and you walked.
The old school part of me says, as the hitter,
I'm celebrating the guys on the team. Is the other dugout,

(02:00:14):
Oh you're you are taking four shots, you better be
good and aerobic, and you better be able to get
out of the way and kick your legs or or
play what's that game where you got to go under
the the when you got to go under a stick
that's held you know, lean back and what do we
call that? You know this sport I'm talking about where
you and I always did limbo. Better, you better go

(02:00:36):
off of limbo on me because you're getting hit. But
the new school part of me is like, oh, you
hit me, cool, Well, my pitcher's come back to hit you.
But I'm still celebrating the next time I go up
er tank on your ass and for a gain a
walk up time and a place. But I kind of
like the college baseball enthusiasm, even though the old school
part of me says, did you.

Speaker 1 (02:00:56):
Just walk down eight to one and you're celebrating this?
It's a good thing you're football player. You can take
out some of that frustration. I'm about to hit you
next time. It could be three weeks, that could be
the calories. Yeah, physicality, well.

Speaker 6 (02:01:07):
You're gonna have to charge them mount and okay, I'll
deal with that. But you are getting hit after that,
and the new school part of me says, hit away,
because the next time I'm in the batter's box, I'm
gonna give you some love too. So I kind of
like both. But I also like the games from a
ship that goes with.

Speaker 5 (02:01:21):
It for sure, Biscuit, I'll see you guys. Get to you, guys,
but also to one of the difference makers for the
Astro squeeze that in before, Chris Gordy, Top of the
Hour here on the Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 6 (02:01:32):
Hey guys, sort of pro painters sort of what they
see sort of pro painters sutterpro dot com for your
free estimate. Each and every sort of pro business is
individually owned and operated. You got a home protect it.
It's expensive with sort of pro painters. I was a
customer before I was a partner with them. Dale, your
team's fantastic and Dia and it is. It's time for
me a new spring because I added something in a

(02:01:53):
new in a room of my home, a different paint job.
It's time for them to a paint job that I want.
Should I say it's time for them to come over
and say, well, this blue paint pops off this you know,
betting or the way that the wood is in this
throwback or vintage dresser. But the paint's gonna pop because
you like it. It's gonna hit those pillows just right.
That's what I need. And local and timely, and what

(02:02:15):
don't you stop at the home whether you're gonna sell it.
You want a presentation, whether you're gonna live in it,
and you want it to look different and look better.

Speaker 1 (02:02:21):
They did it to my home and it was awesome.
Business as well.

Speaker 6 (02:02:24):
Isn't business all about that curb appeal and the how
when people drive by you want them to see it.
The sign sticks out and boom, the paint job's awesome. Well,
why wouldn't you do it? You want presentation to look at.
Sort of pro can help. It's sort of with the
sea curt of pro painters. Like I said, sertapro dot
com for your free estimate, they are doing phenomenal work.

(02:02:45):
And you got to tell May fifteenth. May fifteenth right
around the corner. May fifteenth is the deadline to get
a phenomenal deal when you spend over twenty five hundred
dollars ten percent off your paint job. When you spend
twenty five hundred dollars with sort of pro painters you
get ten percent off everything over and above that twenty

(02:03:06):
five hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:03:07):
What a great gig.

Speaker 6 (02:03:07):
But May fifteenth, it's coming fast. You might want to
jump all over it. Schedule it so you get that
great deal. Deadline May fifteenth, get all over it. It's
sort of pro with the CEA curt of pro painters,
sort of pro. That's painting happy.

Speaker 1 (02:03:21):
This Sean Salisbury show continues to continue.

Speaker 5 (02:03:26):
Let's get it started with Biscuit. He wants to weigh
in first, Biscuit. What's up, buddy, Hey man top of
the morning.

Speaker 7 (02:03:32):
My brothers say, hey, Shan, you know me, Shine, I'm
old school man. Man. We got to get away from
the tableauid media. Man, Shine, I just especially in sports man,
I'm you know, yeah. I may ask him maybe one
or two questions about the young lady. But if there's
more questions about the young lady than it is about
the football program, man, I'm flipping the channel.

Speaker 3 (02:03:54):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:03:54):
And unfortunately, you know that that's what it would be
and will be if that's the case happens. It is.

Speaker 7 (02:04:02):
It's sad Sea.

Speaker 1 (02:04:03):
You know.

Speaker 7 (02:04:03):
It's the question I would ask you two gentlemen, though,
Is there anything off limits? Now, like you say, Sean,
you don't want to go into an interview. You know,
I'm a media guy, so you don't want to go
into an interview where they tell you, they dictate to
you what you can and can't ask. I get that,
But is there anything you, personally, Sean, would not ask

(02:04:25):
somebody or is there something that's off limits? Is there
or just everything anything goes. I can ask you anything
you know about your mama, your kids, whatever you know.

Speaker 1 (02:04:35):
Yeah, biscuit.

Speaker 6 (02:04:37):
I personally, I think that there are stuff, are things
off limits I do and kids starts with kids.

Speaker 1 (02:04:45):
For me, it'll always start with kids. Listen.

Speaker 6 (02:04:48):
I always say this overprotect kids and significant others, women
and that now when we say this, we're talking about this.
But the question about their relationship once it gets into
their home. I will never ask a question about their
sex life, how they're raising their child, unless they broke
the law and had to get the child. You know
those things, because then it's law and you have a responsibility.

(02:05:10):
But I'm not once they've made it public, then you
got to talk and you have a biscuit. For me,
I'm also not in the business of, hey, did your
mother spank you?

Speaker 1 (02:05:21):
When you were being.

Speaker 6 (02:05:21):
That's disciplined between them, So I do think they're a thing.
And with a Bill situation, there's things off limits. But
because she's now she's working for him, and they've made
it that she's all the way around, and after what
happened in the previous interview, you have to address that.
But for me, Biscuit, when it becomes tabloid media, then
I got a problem with it. When it becomes see

(02:05:43):
now we're trapes it into the personal stuff. But this
is personal and business because Bill's taking a personal life
and made it business because he hired that. She is
the ops person for him, So now it is it
is an askable question. But if they were just dating
and behind the scenes and she was twenty three and
he's I'm not going into an interview saying, hey, by
the way, man, your home life, you're divorced one, why

(02:06:06):
are you dating a twenty three year old? It's irrelevant
to me until she becomes part of the business and
part of the program.

Speaker 1 (02:06:13):
Now it's weaved in.

Speaker 6 (02:06:14):
Is it affecting because of the perception, But no, if
they are just dating, whether we think it's weird, Let's
say she wasn't at that interview where she said, you know,
we're not doing this, or she wasn't at practice in
those high white go go boots that he just divorced
and was dating a twenty three year old.

Speaker 1 (02:06:33):
I don't think it's really overly. I don't think it matters.

Speaker 6 (02:06:38):
It may matter to Sum's optics, but I'm not just
going to say, hey, you're a girl at home and
she's twenty three twenty four, how's that the distance between
you guys?

Speaker 1 (02:06:47):
That's not of my business.

Speaker 6 (02:06:48):
But now she's I can't ask now because she is
now part of the ops team and the rest of it.
I would never ask what their sex life is like
behind closed doors or if his mother approves of it.

Speaker 1 (02:06:59):
It's a story now because you've made it in case
she's now a public figure.

Speaker 5 (02:07:03):
Though I remember James Franklin last year too, if whatever
was happening with that, and then they tried to say, oh,
you know, we're only talking football. We haven't answered the question,
so I have to keep asking it. Your statement, I
don't care about your statement. Your statement said nothing right.

Speaker 6 (02:07:16):
So I do think there's stuff off limits and when
it comes to kids and family, as long as it's
not law abiding it's just the way you're doing I
think kids, and I always say air on the side
of caution for men and women, I mean for women
and children. But in this case, the questions I would
ask would not be invasive on their behind closed doors
sex life or private life or what the sun thinks

(02:07:38):
to that I wouldn't have to Bill, Hey, what's your
son think of you?

Speaker 1 (02:07:42):
Dating her? Now?

Speaker 6 (02:07:45):
Is she going to have any say on the defensive
calls if that's where you want to go find But
what they do behind closed doors, whether it may look weird,
That that's questions that I don't think are.

Speaker 5 (02:07:54):
There's two questions for me right there. I think the
sun question absolutely is what do your kids think of this?

Speaker 1 (02:07:58):
Bill?

Speaker 6 (02:07:59):
If it got into the if it got into the conversation.
But I'm not all of a sudden I'm talking about
I'm going back to if she wasn't involved in North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (02:08:07):
And what are the limits of her involvement with the program?
That's that's my point.

Speaker 6 (02:08:11):
But if she wasn't involved in the program and wasn't
out in public, and Debilla was divorced and just dating her,
I don't think it's my business to ask how Steve
feels about the twenty four year old. If she wasn't
a public figure, that'd be like me coming up to you, Hey, man,
if you had a child, say how you're raising your kid.
If your kid wasn't some prodigy we saw on a
piano at four, but behind it, that's your kid. I

(02:08:32):
don't care really what his son thinks about their dating
when they're private. But now that it's public and she's
part of the program, Okay, how's the family handle the
pressure that you're going through with this? Of course, but
I still think there's thinking. I think bus right, there
are certain things that I think are off limits that
aren't if they don't pertain to the story we're talking about.

Dan Matthews, U Jesus, this is the Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 5 (02:10:00):
Rockets lose the NBA Draft lottery, falling to number ten,
Mavericks get number one. That's when we start, Gordy, because Yeah,
the question we came in here and a lot of
people wondering, is the NBA in fact rigged?

Speaker 1 (02:10:17):
I mean it feels that way.

Speaker 11 (02:10:18):
It was the old thing, the old frozen envelope with
Patrick Ewing and the Knicks, Like, I mean, there's it
was all these conspiracy theories. But how do you not
I mean, the Knicks or the the Mavericks make the
worst trade in the history of the NBA trade and
trading away they're superstar and oh would you look at that?

Speaker 1 (02:10:34):
They end up getting the number one pick.

Speaker 11 (02:10:35):
Like it's hard to convince the casual NBA fans that
that's not rigged. Like that just feels it felt so
set up.

Speaker 6 (02:10:43):
Think about if we were going if we were having
this conversation going into the draft lottery, And as we
were sitting here a week ago and I said, what's
the biggest conspiracy theory going, you would name two of them.
The conspiracy going going into the lottery, It'd be somehow,

(02:11:06):
some way the Lakers get him, or as a makeup
call so people don't quit on the Dallas Mavericks. The
Mavericks with a one point eight percentage chance win the lottery.
So hence why of course, now the real capra would
be if he traded the number one pick for JJ Reddick.

Speaker 1 (02:11:29):
You know what I'm saying. And then we said, what's
going on?

Speaker 6 (02:11:32):
So going into this, this would have been one of
your if they had the futures been on on conspiracy
theories for the NBA lottery, the balls in the hopper,
that would have been it would have been Lakers end
up with him. However, or and Lebron rigged it to somehow,
some way that dude ends up the pick with the

(02:11:53):
Lakers and or the Mavericks. After what the GM's been through,
that would have been in your top two. Oh, there's
no doubt.

Speaker 11 (02:12:00):
Made a dumbass trade already. He could make another dumbass
no doubt. But then it feels like the NBA said, well,
let's give you some help, dude. I know you're reeling
right now from your own fans. We got to fix
this new ownership group. Remember now, what happened with New
Orleans when they were selling the team and they oh
Anthony Davis, so they got the number one pick lo
and behold.

Speaker 1 (02:12:18):
So it's it's hard not to think that way.

Speaker 6 (02:12:20):
If you're into conspiracies, this is it. Then you'll you'll
be all over this.

Speaker 11 (02:12:24):
The other one I thought too was maybe san Antonio.
They want to put you know, Wemby with another big star.
And so when they ended up when they when we
got to the top two and it was Dallas san Antonio,
I'm like, of course, oh yes, of course. And then
and then it just happens to be in the Rockets
freaking division. And look, Rockets are gonna be fine. We're
gonna get either a big superstar or keeper rebuilding with
this young group. I feel bad for like the Memphis Grizzlies.

(02:12:46):
They're looking there going, really, we're never like we got
John Morano's prime. We're never gonna get over this. Help
we keep firing coaches. We got the rockets on their eyes.
Oh now the Mavericks. Get Cooper flag with Kyrie and
and Anthony Davis, and you know, we'll see what the Spurs.

Speaker 6 (02:13:00):
They would stupid ye if they would have said that,
they would sell the San Antonio. Oh they're giving Pops
team some love. He's on his way out. Women Yama
and the Aaron Fox and and Cooper Flag. Okay, we
got something growing back in big time, back in Santonio.

Speaker 1 (02:13:13):
I can get it.

Speaker 6 (02:13:13):
Yeah, there's no doubt that that thought process had to
absolutely had to exist because well, and like we mentioned
Gordon before, you came on like Charlotte, I sometimes forget
the nondescript that they're even a basketball team anymore. It's like,
that's right, they still play basketball, child, but you just don't.
I have a hard time, I know, with the tanking,

(02:13:34):
but I still have a hard time at this time
in the NBA thinking the worst team should be picking first.

Speaker 11 (02:13:40):
Yeah, it feels like we should maybe go back and
all this, but it's got to be a better way there.
The five worst teams are tanking regardless, they're not. They're
not trying to lose, but they aren't losing. I mean,
so it's okay, let's do this.

Speaker 6 (02:13:54):
Then take the four worst of the three worst records
in the NBA and put them in the hopper. Just
put that and then you fall into slot according to record.
If you want to just okay, the fourth the top four,
you know, your mount rushmore of hopper balls, whatever you
want to call it. But we only have a couple
in there. It increases their chances. Bad teams will get

(02:14:14):
better and if you didn't get it one year, you
probably get it the next. Instead of something somehow, we've
got to shrink this and get it as close to
worst team gets pick almost guarantee or close.

Speaker 11 (02:14:26):
And as much as we love the rockets like, it
would have been unfair, of course it would have been.

Speaker 1 (02:14:31):
Now, look they had the ninth pick. They fell the tenth,
so we got jipped out of it.

Speaker 11 (02:14:34):
But you know, for if they have gotten number one
pick last night, we would all been throwing a celebration.

Speaker 1 (02:14:39):
But it would have been like, that's not really fair. Yeah,
of course so one.

Speaker 6 (02:14:43):
So you know, if you took the top three and said, okay,
the worst team gets seventy percent or sixty percent of
the balls in there, the next worst team gets thirty.
Now we're at ninety and the last the third team
gets ten or sixty twenty twenty. I don't care how
you do it, but we've we've got it. We've got
to shrink it to the point where there's a really
good chance that the worst teams in a league find

(02:15:05):
a way to get Cooper Flag or somebody like him.

Speaker 11 (02:15:08):
That said, if these playoffs hold how they're currently set up, Nicks, Pacers, Wolves, Thunder,
I love that.

Speaker 1 (02:15:16):
I mean fresh blood, Like four new teams. We're gonna
crowd it.

Speaker 11 (02:15:20):
One of these young superstars, and one of these teams
is gonna be crowned champion, Like. This is what the
NBA needs Forget the freaking Warriors winning four or five
or the Lakers like, I get all that.

Speaker 1 (02:15:30):
This is how you develop a great league, right, we
have new stars.

Speaker 11 (02:15:33):
When Giannis and the Bucks emerged a couple of years
ago and they want it all, it's gonna be fun
to see one of these young teams win it all,
like and it opens up the hope for Rockets. I'm sorry,
I just I hate the dynasty crap. The dynasty craft
is not good.

Speaker 6 (02:15:46):
For your s and it's not good for your sport.
It's great for networks if it's the c or Lakers.
There's no doubt, So I'm with you. Plus you just
name those teams that Anthony Edwards is pretty good player, yes, uh,
Nicole Kachink bad Murray's not a bad player. That guy
in Oklahoma City who's gonna win the MVP, he's okay, Yeah,

(02:16:09):
I mean you started. Jalen Brunson, if you go to
the East, he's he's he's almost got you for forty
again last night and gets them up three to one.
The Jason Tatums who's hurt. Hopefully he gets all these
So you start to see I'm with you. Yet not
enough people are going to see it because Dan, they
feel like you do right now, not your team don't care,
and especially since it's not Lakers showtime Lakers versus the

(02:16:30):
Celtics or where the network is drooling over it. If
the Pacers right, that's exactly what we very easily can
have a PACER's Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Finals. And while
you'd get great talent and a fun series. We we
love superstars, and we love name value in brand and
blue blood teams.

Speaker 1 (02:16:50):
But I'm with you, Gordy.

Speaker 6 (02:16:51):
I kind of like to see Shay Gildess Alexander get
after it against Brunton in an NBA final'd be cool
now the Knicks and the Mecca would draw, right, But
it's it's the networks don't want.

Speaker 1 (02:17:01):
What you want.

Speaker 11 (02:17:02):
Where I was it last week, I was around a
bunch of Knicks fans. They are so jiated they were
they like, aren't buying it at all. They're like, well,
I mean, look, it's great, but we're just gonna lose.
I mean we're gonna so I kind of want them
to win. Like I know they're the power. And when
the Knick people are like when the Knicks are great,
the NBA is great all this, but like they have
gone so long in a drought with no success.

Speaker 6 (02:17:21):
That if they they're up three would if they lose
this series to the Celtics and I do it, Yeah,
tune into radio the next day because you will love it.
If you're in that region, they will destroy But they
are there is a part of this. Since we're losing
three straight, even without Tatum in the lineup right, that
type of thing.

Speaker 11 (02:17:39):
I want them to win for Tracy Morgan. He sits
there at every game court side.

Speaker 6 (02:17:42):
I want him to have some not my celebratory Dustin
Hoffman's right, Spike Lee.

Speaker 1 (02:17:47):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (02:17:48):
I was gonna say, Timothy Shalloman obviously a huge fan.
You got time to talk astros or do you got
to go be a member of the brass.

Speaker 1 (02:17:55):
Let's do all right?

Speaker 5 (02:17:55):

painted interior, exterior. But whether it's given your home a
fresh coat of paint because it's going to pop their local.

Speaker 1 (02:18:13):
They're timely.

Speaker 6 (02:18:14):
They help you pick out the quality of paint, the
paint you like, and can tell you what it's going
to look like before the paint's on. That's who surt
of pros. But don't you stop there. What about your business?
Maybe it's time to refresh the paint at your business.

Speaker 2 (02:19:16):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continues on seven ninety and continues
in your home. Say Alexa play Sports Talk seven ninety
on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 1 (02:19:27):
Absolutely helps you out, keeps you in.

Speaker 5 (02:19:29):
It gives you an opportunity, but then you get it
within two runs and you can't get that hit in
order to be able to tie the game or maybe
be able to take the lead, Like are we ever
gonna have a show this year, either with you in
here or just me and Sean where we're saying, hey,
you know what, bats really carried the team to night,
Like you don't win this game.

Speaker 1 (02:19:47):
Without those guys.

Speaker 11 (02:19:49):
I mean they've had a few of those in recent weeks,
but it's, yeah, it's they're the most inconsistent team that
feels like right now, like they they have the mccullors
blow up on Saturday, it looks like they're gonna blow
the Bats wake up and they battle back to make
it a game, but they still lose. Then on Sunday,
I mean, dominant pitching offense does enough. I mean it

(02:20:09):
was as complete of a game as you can get.
And then yesterday another stinker with Gusto just not very
good as a starter. So I don't know, they'll probably
gome out and throw no hitter tonight. Like that's how
this thing's been going, the ebbs and flows of the
season for the Astros. But yeah, that's two out of
your last three starts that have been awful from mccullor's
and Gusto. And it starts to remind you last April

(02:20:30):
when Hunter Brown was getting blown up and Spencer Raghtty
couldn't get out of the third and you know that's
what you went through a year ago at this time now,
I mean the good news is you're at twenty and twenty.
You're still in the thick of this. You're not falling back.
I think you just got to keep your head above
water here. But yeah, I just they woke up a
little bit. They had their opportunities, like to make it
a game again last night. But man, the timely hitting

(02:20:52):
is not It's not been timely. That's the biggest issue.

Speaker 1 (02:20:55):
With all the changes. What did you guys expect this
year from them? At the plate? Truth?

Speaker 6 (02:20:59):
What was your preseason expectations forty to sixty games in
Where were your expectations?

Speaker 11 (02:21:06):
Well, I thought it was it was incumbent on Christian
Walker and he saw Paridis as the two big new
additions replacing Bregman and Tucker to carry their own and
nobody thought they were going to be Bregmant and Tucker.

Speaker 1 (02:21:18):
But do enough.

Speaker 11 (02:21:19):
I think Parids has kind of come around. He's he's
been a pretty good hitter for you so far. You know,
he's not crushing it, but averages up to two fifty nine.
He was oh for three last night, But Christian Walker.
I mean he had a couple games there we he
started to look like, oh, it's really starting to come around.
He's starting to do his thing. And then he goes,
oh for five last night with three strikeouts. It's just
if the light bulb comes on for both those guys.

(02:21:42):
Even with your on out, this team can can score
runs because Jannar Diaz is coming around. Jake Myers is
having a soup. I mean, I don't know what the
hell got into him. He's having a great year. This
Zenzo's given you a little something. But yeah, I mean,
and al Twove got back in there. But to me,
it's it's on those guys. It's it's all. He's one
through five, ignore seven, eight, nine. One through five is

(02:22:04):
the guys that have to produce.

Speaker 6 (02:22:05):
What if I told you guys that Descenzo and Myers
and Smith they're going to be my starting outfield regularly.
I mean, they have four hits last night, Are you
going to play and then move back al two back
to second base. Decenzo's your left fielder, Smith's here everyday,
right fielder, Myers ways playing CENTI if you got Dubona
McCormick is your main bench guys, and then you know

(02:22:27):
the infield al two VA's back at second base Walker obviously,
and when Jordon gets back, he's dhing. And then you
also have Victor Keratini, Carotini, Chasmo and Dubon is your
main bench guys, and go play baseball and let these
two corner outfielders be where they're going to be five
years from now, ones in right field and ones in
left field.

Speaker 1 (02:22:47):
More than likely.

Speaker 5 (02:22:49):
I would say the first five in your lineup need
to really hit, which they haven't really done, and that should.

Speaker 1 (02:22:54):
Be Payina Al two Ve, Jordan.

Speaker 6 (02:22:57):
Paine excluded, Paene excluded in that off right penal Tuve,
Jordan Walker, Yin or yin Er. Walker is your first
five hitters, the greatest. I don't know him too.

Speaker 1 (02:23:10):
You can even put him at five and Walker at six,
and or Yiner at six and Walker at seven right now,
which would give you which would give you the back
end of Jake Myers, cam Smith and Decenzo which would
probably go Decenzo Jake Myers, camp Smith or Decenzo cam
Smith Jake Myers. At what point in time do you
say we got our corner outfield of the future. We're

(02:23:33):
gonna let him play through it. If if we're not
lighting it up with the first five, why not play
through it with the young guys.

Speaker 11 (02:23:39):
It's risky just on a team that has playoff aspirations.
If we were the Pittsburgh Pirates would go aheah, yeah,
two out fellows of the future.

Speaker 1 (02:23:47):
Just get out there and get your licks in? Is
the is the alternative better?

Speaker 11 (02:23:51):
Well, I mean they believe in platooning. I mean they
just do a lot of different lineups. I was surprised
to see because you mentioned Dubond He's only putting four
game so far in the month of May. I mean
they've they've barely used him and so but he hadn't
been great.

Speaker 6 (02:24:05):
Feels like Desenzo has been the move around guy right
now as far as left field, yeah, and at he
has third base in.

Speaker 1 (02:24:12):
But also he could play first base, right.

Speaker 11 (02:24:14):
But you're you're comment about moving putting out two bad
back at second. I mean it's compounded because Brendan Rodgers
hadn't been great, right and Brendan Rodgers was crushing at
second baseh forget it.

Speaker 6 (02:24:25):
Brandon Rodgers become a platoon guy. If Dezenzo's your everyday guy,
that's the question after And I like Rogers, but you're
you expect a little more.

Speaker 11 (02:24:33):
At spring training though they thought the expectation was Dubond
was going to be, Oh, he's going to be locked
down at second he'll back two sixty two seventy, he'll
drive in some runs, he'll play elite defense. And he
he hadn't given you that. So they they're playing Brendan
Rodgers a little bit over him, but neither of those
guys are good.

Speaker 1 (02:24:51):
And so now it's like he started to go down and.

Speaker 11 (02:24:53):
Go hole in the lineup, hole in the lineup hole
in the lineup, and that's why they've been so inconsistent.

Speaker 6 (02:24:57):
I still think they favored a Zenzo moving around once
in a while, keeping out two van left field, and
Rogers is your lead go to at second base with
Dubon still a Swiss army knife when you're using him, which,
as you said, hasn't been regularly as a starter.

Speaker 5 (02:25:09):
Yeah, and I mean he touched on a Christian Walker.
I mean, the fastball seems like it's been an issue
for him this year. He's hitting two oh three with
an expected batting average of two thirty two. Like it
seems like there's a book on him right now of
pound him earlier with fastballs you take him.

Speaker 1 (02:25:23):
Out of the bat. Yeah, I think he's in his
head too.

Speaker 11 (02:25:26):
I mean he's he's there's sometimes he looks like he's
guessing out there, and yeah, I mean he'll stare at
a pitch right down the middle and you know, it's
like what do you do? Swing the bat? And then
other times he's swing get stuff completely out of his
own So I don't know. I mean it's that's you know,
I said it a couple of weeks ago, people who
are bringing it up. We were cursed with Jose Brau

(02:25:47):
in that signing and a big dud, and now it's
looking like right now Christian Walker has been a big
dud of a signing.

Speaker 5 (02:25:53):
So far, has been batting three oh eight in the
month of May. I mean that that does need to
be thrown out there. He gets the two run single
with the bases loaded the other day. But the bat
speed metrics, like looking at Baseball Savant, they still have
seventy like seventy third percentiles, So I mean, like that
hasn't dropped off, like it's not it's not the fall
off that at Bray you have right, So, I mean
that's that's something that I think you look at eighteen.

Speaker 11 (02:26:15):
I mean, this is supposed to be your your cleanup hitter,
your guy it's driving all your run and we.

Speaker 6 (02:26:20):
Know they feel better about him. They do a brave
because they still they're still that well, he's hitting it hard.
You know the ball's coming off his bat. It'll eventually happen, right.

Speaker 11 (02:26:28):
I would slide him down the line of you said,
I like put him at six, move yacht Downard Giaz
is hitting now moving.

Speaker 6 (02:26:33):
I'll have a problem with it when it comes to
those the first three guys are etched in stone from four,
five and six, moving them around or even five and six.
If Paradus has to hit in the four hole, because
he's gonna be, I don't care, and the ego's got
to be out of the way. If you're a guy
that you think you're a five field hole hitter and
you're not hitting, you, I gotta put you in the
seven hole.

Speaker 1 (02:26:50):
Oh well yeah, well.

Speaker 11 (02:26:52):
Because what keeps happening is Walker comes up with men
on base with one out or two outs and he's
striking out and it does no good for you. I
mean it's I'd rather have him slip slip, slide, lineup,
put somebody else out there that can drive him some runs.

Speaker 6 (02:27:05):
And if you're talking about it in truth, Paradis should
be without Yord Jordon. You throw Paradis in the three hole.
In truth, you'd probably go Paradis Yin or in the
four hole. And Jake Myers has earned himself away up,
he really has. Now, I don't know if you want
to do seventy five. Yeah, oh, there's no doubt. But
my point is, if you're talking about production and not

(02:27:25):
that there, you could put it this way, your three,
four and five would look nothing like you expected it
to look at the other than Yin are hit in
the middle, because with the Yord on out, you'd say
Trade's hitting in the three hole.

Speaker 1 (02:27:36):
Oh and and Jake Myers is hitting fifth, but which
they're obviously not going to do.

Speaker 6 (02:27:41):
But the positive of this Gordy with Myers and the
way Payne is playing and now two B is gonna
even though his batting averages in the sixties, now he's
still we know what he brings to the table. Think
about if Jordon Walker Rogers can't mean four or five guys,
considering the guys we didn't expect to rake Rake and
a little bit more like Jake Myers and pain you.

(02:28:02):
We didn't expect Payinte hitting in the one hole this
year at all, the lead off spot. So there's been
some great things. Now the guys that you expect to
be great gotta be great or at least good well
and get healthy.

Speaker 5 (02:28:14):
And to the point too, about Christian Walker batting in
the cleanup spot this year one fifty seven with a
four to seventy three ops. When you hit him fifth
three point thirty three with an over thousand opens, what
are we doing at a certain point.

Speaker 1 (02:28:28):
Five or put them there? Well, let me ask you,
this isn't this team a big time analytics team. The
metrics tell you, But sometimes they do the hard thing
like dust you do, Old Tom a j Hin should do.

Speaker 11 (02:28:39):
I mean, like, no, this guy beats fourth and that's
where he bats, says who like this is in nineteen
eighty five baseball.

Speaker 6 (02:28:45):
You might even go by that card that says he's
hit the six hole or he hits in the five hole,
And it's at some point and there's no doubt Christian
Walker and I think Dana validated this. The pressure you
put on yourself, or maybe it was Steve Spucks then
when I asked the question the pressure you put on
yourself going to an new team. Of course he wants
to be that guy, but it may take him hitting
the five or six hold to be that guy where

(02:29:06):
he gets confident back up, and what happens is you'll
start to press. I mean, it's normal, regardless you've been
in the league one year or ten years. You want
your new fans to accept you, and you want to
go out and do it right, and hopefully that will happen.
And the ball starts falling, and the ball starts falling
into the seats as opposed to end the ballpark.

Speaker 5 (02:29:22):
Jira earlier to talk about the guy that brought crawfish
into the game last night, three pounds in a gallon
ziploc bag.

Speaker 1 (02:29:28):
Oh god, I hate to sit next to that guy. Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:29:32):
Bringing like a crawfish is not my efficient meal. I
love his good What ingenuity is creativity? Yeah, I'm not
really sure. Like I said to me, it would have
been sandwiches, probably easier to manage.

Speaker 11 (02:29:42):
I was on a fight coming back Friday night. This
guy sits next to me. I was sitting in the
exit road. Here's one seat next to me. This guy
sits in the seat next to me. All right, whatever
he ten minutes of the fight, he pulls out Indian food. Dude,
what are you doing? No, what are you thinking?

Speaker 4 (02:29:56):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (02:29:57):
I have some consideration for the people around you. Yes,
you know, well, tuna smells too.

Speaker 11 (02:30:03):
I mean, like, just get If you're gonna bring food
on a plane, make sure it's non smelling food.

Speaker 1 (02:30:07):
Yeah, don't bring fresh cod on a four hour fold
And then he was eating rice with his hands. I
was like, you, behemoth, what are you doing? He probably
took his shoes off there. There's certain foods that you
just can't around it.

Speaker 6 (02:30:22):
It's got to It may taste great, but taste great
at your house, not when everybody else has to.

Speaker 1 (02:30:28):
You know, that's certain. There's certain things you just just
don't do. And that's probably one of them. If you
bring any international food on a flight, you are a maniac.

Speaker 6 (02:30:36):
Yes, well you need we need to check you for
How about just the simple turkey Swiss that has no smell?

Speaker 1 (02:30:42):
Okay, simple? And there's a sound shop at every airport
in the world. When I when I couldn't get water, burger,
living in my previous place. Get it in and out.

Speaker 6 (02:30:51):
Now, the better burger is the orange and white.

Speaker 1 (02:30:56):
You know that I need Southwest to put that on
the new rules proof food on this flight. Crackers. Yeah,
chips are fine, non smelling chips out that'll get.

Speaker 5 (02:31:06):
You thrown off the plane. But what would be great
on a plane A Crawford Boch. Well, yeah, I mean
obviously that's the one. That's the one problem is looking
at these airlines. You look at the beers they serve online.
They don't they don't have a lot of car Carbock
Brewing or Crawford Boch. But you can be there at
Dyking Park tonight over there watching the Astros. Two more
games on this homestand tonight and tomorrow. So get on

All right, it's just how good has Jeremy Paine you
been well, let's discuss here Sean Salisbury show.

Speaker 1 (02:32:27):
Well, Jeremy Peney has been great.

Speaker 6 (02:32:29):
And doctor Witson's in that category in his h in
what he does is my I doctor and eye care doctor,
and yours too. Did my lasik had to go in
for a little cataracts last Friday. All of a sudden,
I'm like seeing great and then boom, why is it blurry?

Speaker 1 (02:32:41):
What's going on?

Speaker 6 (02:32:42):
He goes, Man, you got a little cataracts. And the
first thing I think, am I going blind? He's just no,
you're gonna be fined.

Speaker 1 (02:32:47):
We'll get this done about ten minutes once you come
back in and schedule it.

Speaker 9 (02:32:51):
Did.

Speaker 1 (02:32:51):
Took the.

Speaker 6 (02:32:53):
Road to it, and now here I am a couple
of days later and seeing I'm like, oh my gosh,
I can see my golf ball down now, and this
cataract on my lasik is back to seeing pure and clear.

Speaker 1 (02:33:04):
Love it.

Speaker 6 (02:33:04):
He can do the same for you. Not invasive. Wasn't
on the table long. The postcares off the charts and
in a matter of days and I'm back to seeing
better than I had in fifteen twenty previous years.

Speaker 1 (02:33:15):
So you can do that, and there's.

Speaker 6 (02:33:16):
Always something good special going on wise and you work
it out the payment plan. But doctor whitst will you
will find that he's the best LASIK procedure and eye
care doctor. I think on the planet. There's nobody else
I trust more. And you can do the same you'll
see him at church, see him at the golf course,
and probably at your local grocery store. But you'll also
see him making sure that your eyes see as clear

(02:33:38):
as you need him to.

Speaker 1 (02:33:39):
And the I Care is phenomenal.

Sean Salisbury Show continues.

Speaker 5 (02:34:00):
Get into a little bit more astros here se one
three two one two five seven ninety ol wants to
weigh in on the stros what's going on now?

Speaker 1 (02:34:09):
Hey, what's up guys?

Speaker 10 (02:34:10):
Great show, Thanks for sure, And I just think we
had a point now where we're playing. We just gotta
let this thing play out the rest of the season
and I evaluate it then.

Speaker 1 (02:34:20):
But right now it's not enough consistency.

Speaker 10 (02:34:22):
And one thing about this damn what John Show was
talking about about Bill BILLI chick. We want to put
some respect on this man name. But at the same time, Sean,
I heard you know, going on gm A Good Morning America.
It's not gonna be the Mores Show. I think he's
going on there to promote his book about football. So

(02:34:44):
I don't think them questions that y'all were talking about
it gonna be too much asked.

Speaker 1 (02:34:47):
They might touch it, you know, and they might move
on with it. But good morning America.

Speaker 10 (02:34:52):
You know, they ain't gonna bring you own, you know,
and talk about your drum and interview your personally personal life.
I heard it's gonna be about Bill is promoting a
book and Michael Strahan is going to interview him on
you know, basically document known what's going on in the book.
You automatically though, it's just strict with football. That's what
I heard. He's going on gm A for sure. I

(02:35:12):
don't think it's gonna be by his personal relationship with
the girl. Great show, y'all, Lady Gosh.

Speaker 6 (02:35:18):
I appreciate it al and he may be correct on
the book. I just don't see how the timing of
the book and not to address this I think is
a pr mistake for Belichick.

Speaker 1 (02:35:30):
I think you do.

Speaker 5 (02:35:31):
Let me ask you in regardless of why he's doing it,
he should bring it up. Let me ask you this, then,
do you have any interest in reading this book.

Speaker 1 (02:35:39):
What's the name of it. I've at Art of Coaching
or something. I don't know, Sure it's Belichick.

Speaker 6 (02:35:43):
If I'd like to the art of coaching and some
of the inside he can get on preparation.

Speaker 1 (02:35:48):
I don't know what's in it. Yeah, I would be
his girlfriend.

Speaker 6 (02:35:53):
The girlfriend his relationship with her isn't enough to all
of a sudden met Belichick for his past work and
what he did when to get to that many super
Bowls and handle the changes in the quarterback and exius
how to prepare. I don't know what's in the book,
but if that's what it is, I could well what

(02:36:14):
does his relationship with her have to do with his
past and prepare in preparation? Now pushing it forward, is
he the same guy in his preparation that and he's
getting ready for a season that he was there. That's
where that comes in about the preparation of the book. Yes,
so I'm interested in reading it. The question, but I
still can't go a full interview. We're all as I'm
talking about, is what's in there? You're coming on the

(02:36:35):
timing of it would lend itself to I at least
got a probe without being you know not you know,
probe like you get a prostate check, but probe to
where I got to know. Okay, as part of this book,
have you changed you know, there's a way of doing it,
is you changed your philosophy on how you go about
practicing or addressing your team from then till now. That's

(02:36:58):
a way of you know, where I'm going with this
because that's the perception. That's that's my point. And so
that's why regardless of why he's going on, because if
he's pushing a book, the book obviously was done and
written before we saw this North Carolina stuff with her.

Speaker 1 (02:37:14):
Now it's coming out.

Speaker 6 (02:37:16):
So if there's no chapter on her, but this is
how he went about his job then and making this
transformation whatever it is, and now she's involved in it,
well I got to know is it the same guy?
So yes, I still think those questions are very relevant.
But for me, yeah, I'll read the book because if
it tells me and said, I don't care about his
relationship if I can learn something from the past. Now,

(02:37:37):
if you ask me, Sean, do you think do you
trust that Bill's preparing the same way he did in
New England as he did North Carolina? It feels to
me like there's a little crack, there's some cracks in
what we're doing from my optics, which isn't like him,
which is the intrigue of the story.

Speaker 1 (02:37:52):
I mean, because that's the thing.

Speaker 6 (02:37:53):
I just I think this makes him look like a
clown well, and that degrades everything in my mind that
he did before. Yeah, but haven't you seen people take
it to me do great things? And all of a sudden,
an a list actor, all of a sudden isn't getting
a list work. And as they get to sixties or seventies,
you know, they change their look. They're trying to keep
up with young Hollywood male or female, and before you
know it, they're like, it's not the same. Put it

(02:38:13):
this way, case in point, if you don't like DeNiro's
politics going forward, you may not watch him the same.
There is no way you don't. You look at him
and say, you know what, I didn't even like him
in the Irish metteral you you you got to you've
got to be able to compartmentalize. And it's a good
comparison because if you're a hardcore Trump supporter and you

(02:38:36):
listened to de Niro, you'll either hate Trump or you'll
hate de Niro, right, But I'm not judging DeNiro regardless
of his politics previous. I don't care what he was
thinking when I when when when his movies come out?
I am watching his movie because he's a good actor,
some of them. So that's the point. Now going forward,
I'll say, man, I love his acting, but I wonder

(02:38:56):
if he's going to blame this on somebody else.

Speaker 1 (02:39:00):
That that creeps in. But it can't take away from
what he's he's.

Speaker 5 (02:39:03):
Given us, just as long as you don't have him
beating up a shopkeeper, right.

Speaker 1 (02:39:07):
Right, no, no, no question.

Speaker 6 (02:39:08):
Now if you're yes, hey it Robert de Niro as
a young guy on the street corner, Oh yeah, go right,
elderly right, beating the dog crap right, I would say,
beat the tar crep. But you know what I'm saying, Yeah, yeah,
it wasn't the same. It's not the same, thirty five
year old.

Speaker 1 (02:39:28):
It's like, what are you doing to the guys. It's hard,
it's double for God's it's.

Speaker 6 (02:39:33):
Hard to believe this one. Right, Yeah, I get it,
but so but I'm not gonna hate it. Now you
break the law like I don't look it, Diddy, the
same way I used to pre all this right or
a lot of that affailation.

Speaker 1 (02:39:47):
I can't look at it.

Speaker 6 (02:39:48):
So when it comes to that the law and and
that why it crossed over to the kids women protection thing,
I'm done with him, and and yes I do his
past does bother me considering I wonder how how long
it had been going on. If that's the case with Bill,
I can compartmentalize the coaching part of it, because listen,
who isn't intrigued with the way he ran New England?

(02:40:10):
But there seems to be some cracks and not only
the pr but his approach to keeping his ship tight,
which he always kept in New England, which, regardless if
it's a book or not, the question has to be asked,
is there a different focus for you? Has your priorities
changed with with having a different woman in your life
than your wife? Have they changed? There's a way to

(02:40:30):
get where you know where I'm going. But I'm asking
it according to the book because the same Belichick that
we saw, our perception is this isn't the same Belichick
at North Carolina. That's the perception of him right now.
It just is so regardless of why he's.

Speaker 1 (02:40:43):
Going on the interview.

Speaker 6 (02:40:44):
Yeah, I don't think you can limit me from getting
into it. Let him tell me on the air. I
don't really want to answer that. Then that's fine.

Speaker 5 (02:40:51):
Speaking of Diddy, he was a meme during the Draft
because he plays bo Callahan's agent in the movie Draft Day,
and people were pointing out there like maybe it wasn't
bo Callahan that was the problem all along. You know,
if people wondering nobody goes to his birthday.

Speaker 1 (02:41:06):
Part yeah all that. Oh yeah, they're like, maybe it
was the agent that was not doing him any favors there. Yeah.
So but knowing what we know now, that's exactly right.

Speaker 6 (02:41:15):
So with the Belichick thing like that, that's the loss
of this too, is just we think it's weird. And
I understand the question. But if you're asking me if
i'd read his book, if it has to do with
previous or how he approached his career or whatever, you yeah,
I'm interested in that because watching Belichick do work as
a head coach.

Speaker 1 (02:41:32):
Was off the charts.

Speaker 5 (02:41:33):
There's many others that I'd go with. But maybe it's
just recency bias on that. That's fine, that's fine.

Speaker 6 (02:41:39):
Oh yeah, it's because the optics are so weird it
MA think, well, did he lose his you know, you're like,
did he lose the man card? What happened to the
guy who was you know, had kept a tight ship.

Speaker 1 (02:41:50):
I get it. People change, and like, I want to
know what the reason for the change is. Is it
because it's college not in the NFL.

Speaker 6 (02:41:55):
The grind lasted so long, he's tired of the grind,
or he's in love or he's in lust.

Speaker 1 (02:42:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:42:02):
But you know what, when it comes to the effect
on North Carolinas football program, and if she's involved, the
question has to be asked.

Speaker 1 (02:42:09):
It just does. He doesn't have to answer it, but
the questions to be asked.

Speaker 5 (02:42:12):
I mean, just do yourself every favorite you can and
try to squatch this thing as much as possible, no question.

Speaker 1 (02:42:17):
I mean, that's that's what I think is really.

Speaker 6 (02:42:18):
If you're him, but don't do it and then start
to shift your focus to your football team, for sure,
to your school, no doubt, for sure.

Speaker 5 (02:42:25):
All right, if you still want to get in on

Speaker 9 (02:44:24):
Wait.

Speaker 1 (02:44:25):
Sean Salisbury continues on seven ninety.

Speaker 5 (02:44:29):
Matt had to do his uh postgame duties last night
and he got hit with Alex and garden Oaks who
Alex has a particular opinion about the way that Joe
A Spot handles his pitching staff.

Speaker 1 (02:44:40):
We'll just leave it at that.

Speaker 5 (02:44:41):
But uh, how good has Jeremy Pena been for the
Astros since they moved them to the lead off spot. Well,
i'll tell you three sixty one batting average right now
out of him. So, just like we talked about on
the frustrating side with Christian Walker, Sean, it's been great
with Jeremy Pania at the plate at the leadoff spot.

(02:45:03):
So you've already made one right move. Now it's time
to make another right move. Nine oh nine oh ps
out of Painia two in the leadoff spots. No other
numbers touched that other than batting forth when he hits
three seventy.

Speaker 6 (02:45:17):
Yeah, I personally think he's the bell cow of this
team right now, and I think he's going to have
to be. I understand everybody's Jordon Alvarez got to carry it.
What if he can't, well, what if what if it's lingered?
I'm just giving the what if even if it doesn't, Well,
there's Altuve and there's I get it to me the

(02:45:38):
energy put him in the leadoff spot. I think he's
there to stay. I think he's going to be a
bell cow and has to be a bell Cow the
rest of the year. I do because I think that
you're going to find it up and down. It's going
to be one of those where you have to just
fight and scrape to get extra runs.

Speaker 1 (02:45:51):
And we don't know about Yorda.

Speaker 6 (02:45:52):
Hopefully Yordon comes back and he's typically Jordon and he
does what a top ten player in this league does
at the plate, and I believe he will. But if
if we're counting, and I'm counting, we're keeping score, by
the end of this season, we should be saying that
the team MVP, in my opinion, has got a legitimate
chance to be that very guy who plays shortstop and
does the same. I think he's taking his offensive game

(02:46:14):
to another level that I know. The analytics and the
numbers say so. But there's a different energy about him.
I know he always plays hard, don't misunderstand, but there's
a different energy. I think he's got to be your
bell Cow, and I'm not so sure we don't have
to have that for the rest of the year from.

Speaker 1 (02:46:27):
Him, for sure.

Speaker 5 (02:46:28):
Hopefully they can get it tonight tomorrow, close out this
serious and you get the Rangers on the road to
continue the seventeen games in seventeen days, he's Sean Salisbury, Triple,
Emmanuel Elmore, Dan Matthews here The Matt Thomas Show with
Ross coming up next. We'll talk to you in twenty hours.
I'll talk to you tonight on Astros on Deck
