Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ros Vy Real Adam wex ser with you at the
Big City Wings Marquee location. We'll be giving away a
couple of four packs to Astros tickets. We'll be here
until two o'clock. Come by and say, hey, a lot
of stuff to get to here. On the show, we
got ain't nobody got time for that slash shut you
bumb ass up coming up at eleven thirty. But right
now we are pleased to be joined by Brian Boga.
(00:22):
Sevic joins us every week, does a great job and
well I was mentioning this earlier on the show. Brian,
it's good to have you now, especially like if everybody
were hitting, we would maybe have a little bit less
to talk about with you, or maybe it would be
more fun. But we got a lot to break down
with these struggling bats with the Astros right now, and
let's go ahead.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And start it off.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'll spin the wheel. Let's go to yr ds.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh, that's a that's a tough place to start. You know,
there are a lot of guys as we go through
this who you can say, you know, points to different
things as to why they're close or why you know,
it's just a matter of time. I think is in
the toughest spot. He looks like he's just doesn't have
any timing. He looks lost. You know, his body's going
(01:05):
in one direction, his bat's going in the other direction,
and the swings have just been kind of, you know,
flailing at balls. It looks to me like he needs
a couple of games where he just let the ball
travel get into the hitting zone because he's out trying
to hit. He's trying to hit the ball way out
front of home plate while his body's going into the
third base dugout. At the same time, he's probably as
(01:30):
much as so many of these guys on offense, has struggled.
I think Yiner's probably had it the worst.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Bogie wex here with you as well. I'm curious if
at any point during his previous seasons have you noticed
him ever looking like this, and maybe then what he
did to get out of it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Not this that you know, there's been times when he struggled,
but a lot of that has just kind of been
over aggressiveness. Right now, it just looks like, you know,
he's trying to hit the ball as soon as it
comes out of the pitcher's hands. I think, really, what
will do him. Well, is if he just you know,
completely eliminate the left side of the field for a
(02:10):
couple of that bat or a couple of games and
just says, you know, I'm going to try to shoot balls,
you know, into the four hole and into right field
and back that contact point up a little bit. He's
done that at times, you know, throughout the course of
the last couple of years, when when things have not
been going well, just you know, take that simple approach
of like I'm going to take a couple of pitches,
see it and move that contact point back and you
(02:32):
and use the other way, you know. But but he's
a long way from evening being able to do that,
is it?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Kind of looking back at last night's game winning hit,
that kind of a bat just from the right side.
Look at how Victor Carrottine he took that pitch and
just popped it through the hole to drive in the run,
that kind of a bat and just say this is
where it's pitched. Just send it through the hole for
Yayner just on the right side.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh absolutely, I mean, if there was such a good
replay of that swing from carrot and you could just
see how long his head stayed down on that ball.
How deep the pitch got into his swing. You know,
he hit it basically off of his back leg through
the sixth hole on the left side. You know, if
you Ironar could take a couple of those and just
(03:15):
see where that contact point is, that's a good place
to start, because then you can start working it out front.
Then you can start worrying about elevating. Then you can start,
you know, pulling balls for power. But right now, he's
just got to get he's got to get the ball
to a point to where he can make solid contact
with it.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Brian Pokasovic was us here on a Sports Talk seven nine.
Let's go to camp Smith's first extra base hit, first
run batted in after a couple of days off. Did
you see anything different from him yesterday and just to
evaluate what you have been seeing from him?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yes, and no. I mean that was that was certainly
the best swing he's taken, you know, all season, you know,
eliminate the spring training stuff, but since since the regular
season has started, that was definitely the best swing he took.
He's late, he's been laid on fastballs, you know, since
the regular season started. He looks a little bit passive.
Almost like he's trying to get on the fastball by
(04:10):
trying to get into hitters counts where he can look
and hunt for the fastball, but all he's doing is
getting himself behind in the count and it's making it worse.
That pitch that he hit for the triple, it was
a breaking ball, and you know, is probably off script
of what the Mariners pitchers wanted to do, because Luis
Castillo to start that game was just heater, heater, heater
(04:31):
on cam the whole time. You get a reliever in there.
But the thing that he did earlier in that at
that is he took a really aggressive swing on the
first pitch of the bat at bat at the fastball.
So now all of a sudden you can put into
the pitcher's head, Okay, maybe he's starting to get on it.
Maybe I have to do something else, and he throws
a pitch that kind of goes into his bat a
little bit. But you know, at the major league level,
(04:53):
you're not going to get into hitters counts and you're
not going to walk just by taking pitches. Pitchers don't
just lose their control and push you in a three
one coun because they can't throw a straight You've got
to scare them out of the zone. You've got to
scare them away from attacking the middle of his zone.
So I would almost like to see Cam go up
there and get more aggressive. You know, usually you're trying
to take young hitters and dial them back a little bit.
(05:14):
You know, I'd almost like to see him maybe not
the point of what George Springer was when he first
came up, where he was, you know, ready to swing
when he woke up in the morning. But just go
out there and just you know, get to hacking. Let
your natural ability take over, and then you can start
scaring pitchers out of the zone. Then you can start
working at bats, getting in hitters, counts, hunting pitches. But
right now they're just attacking a hitter who they think
(05:36):
is is just behind it a little bit, not.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Quite to go pick the stick on you, because you
guys will take care of that later today and all
throughout the season over on the TV side on Space
City Home Network. But rather than going through the whole lineup,
we'll eliminate Jose al Tuva at the top and eliminate
the elite hitter that Jake Myers is at the bottom
of the lineup, you got anybody else in between. And
this is not just today, but maybe over the next
couple of games. Who would be your pick to click?
(06:01):
Who do you see maybe starting to come around and
no longer hitting below two hundred?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well, I think I think Jordan's really close. And you
know that's not anything you know, revelatory right there. I mean,
he's one of the best hitters in the world, but
his swings have looked much better. He's just missed a
couple of pitches, hit another couple of pitches hard. He's
also getting pitched really carefully right now because the guys
around him aren't hitting. But I just think it's a
(06:28):
matter of time before you know, a pitcher makes a
mistake and he jumps all over it, or you know,
Christian Walker wakes up and he gets all of a sudden,
Jordan gets a couple more pitches to hit. He's getting
really close, and I really like to swing that. Jeremy
Payne has been taking His bat looked really quick. He's
on the fastball, but he's not cheating to get to
the fastball. He's able to lay off with some tough
(06:51):
breaking balls while still being quick enough to handle high velocity.
So I like where Jordon is getting to and I
really like where Pains been for most of the seasons.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Brian Bogus seven, continuing with us here on a Sports
Talk seven to ninety, let's go to the pitching side.
Last night, Joe Spatta in the seventh inning going to
Taylor Scott. Were you surprised to see him in that
role or it come out of the bullpen?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Then no, But because I think we're still in the
mode of the roles are kind of what we're defined
in spring training and going through the offseason, and that
you know, Taylor Scott was kind of penciled into that
seventh inning role. It's kind of morphed into a hybrid
of him Stephen Okurt based on what you want from
(07:40):
a matchup lefty righty standpoint, and that pocket of the
lineup lent itself to Taylor Scott. You know, he hasn't
thrown the ball particularly well to start the season or
even really in spring training, so that might you know,
that might change, you know, here in the near future.
But no, I wasn't seen the season he had last
(08:01):
year buys him a little bit of a longer leash
to go out there. And get right. But you know
somebody is gonna have to step up and be that
seventh inning guy. And he did it last year and
it's still his kind of job to lose, but you
know it might not be for long.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Where aready rubber stamp? Bryan King is the seventh inning guy?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Is that Okay? He's been great? And not only has
it been great from a results standpoint, every inning that
he throws looks easy. I mean, he goes out there
and he just blows ninety two by guys, and he
just dropped sliders in that nobody can hit. And every
time I look up and I'm filling out out the
score book, you know he's finished an inning with no
base runners and he's thrown only like twelve pitches. I mean,
(08:42):
he's been unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Steven Okert has had some success as a major league reliever,
some very good success. A couple of seasons ago with Miami,
it obviously went in the opposite direction in the last
two years. Did he rEFInd what he had been doing
when you watch him pitch and he was on the
mound last night to fin off. What is making him
so successful again?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well, first of all, he dealt with some injuries the
last couple of seasons. So he looks like he's healthy,
first of all, because he has had has had some
really good success in years past. The biggest question coming
into this season for him was what is he going
to be able to give you against righties. He's always
been really good against lefties. He's always had a really
(09:25):
good slider that's tough on lefties, but what does he
do against righties to get them out? And the inning
that he threw last night, the biggest out that he
had to get Ryan Bliss at the end, you know,
to close out the game. He had to go off
of his I'm just going to slider a lefty to
death because he's facing a good right handed hitter, a
right handed hitter who handles lefties very well. And he
(09:45):
located three fastballs, one at the top of the zone,
two on the outside corner, you know, ninety two ninety
four miles an hour. So that's the biggest thing that
I've seen is that he's got weapons to handle righties
as well as lefties, and he did it in as
big as spot as there's been so far last night.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Let's talk about some more positive things. Is Jose al
Tuove just gonna hit until he's fifty.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I wouldn't bet against it. Everything that he's ever been
challenged with he's done. So yeah, I mean, what's going
to affect him? You know, when when they said he
couldn't hit in the big leagues, he did. When they
said they couldn't hit for power, he did. When you know,
they said they're going to change his position, and is
that going to affect his hitting, it didn't. I mean,
he he with all the stuff that he's dealt with
(10:30):
this offseason and coming into the season trying to learn
a new position. You know, he's out there, you know,
when the team's at home and we get to go
out there early, he's on the field at you know,
three point thirty four o'clock, taking extra extra fly balls.
Like the amount of workload that he's taking on is
greater than what he's probably had since he was in
his you know, second third year in the big leagues.
(10:53):
And yeah, he just continues to be the hitter that
we've seen for twelve years now. So I don't know
why it's ever gonna stop.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Well, I'm not a ballplayer. I'm not flying on the
charter with the team I'm not making those trips from
city to city. You've obviously done that. I view today's
game not only to get a six and six, win,
a third series, get on back out of town, but
that happy flight I always think is a huge, huge deal.
You're playing Seattle. Also, all those things go into it.
(11:21):
But it seems like today I'm not gonna go big game,
must win anything quite like that. But it's kind of
important to go out there and take care of it
today and hop on that burden style.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
No, I think you're right, And yes, there's a little
bit of of a I don't know if it's momentum
or just you know, mood thing that will carry over
when you win on a getaway day. But what really,
if you think about it, you know, if they win today,
they win two series on the road in which they
didn't really hit at all. They had a couple of
(11:54):
blow up starts from starters where the bullpen had to
cover a ton of innings. So if you're all of
a sudden coming back from a road trip and you
go and you can go four and two without you know,
really playing all that well outside of some a couple
of really good pitching performances, you know that that in
and of itself is a confidence booster to where you
(12:14):
can look around that clubhouse and say, hey, man, if
we ever start playing well, like, there's no telling what
we can do, because we're we're out here winning series
and we're not even playing well yet.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Brian boga Sevic, thanks for the time, as always, appreciate
you and we'll continue to talk to you down the road.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
All right, guys, appreciate it.

a third series, get on back out of town, but
that happy flight I always think is a huge, huge deal.
You're playing Seattle. Also, all those things go into it.
(11:21):
But it seems like today I'm not gonna go big game,
must win anything quite like that. But it's kind of
important to go out there and take care of it
today and hop on that burden style.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
No, I think you're right, And yes, there's a little
bit of of a I don't know if it's momentum
or just you know, mood thing that will carry over
when you win on a getaway day. But what really,
if you think about it, you know, if they win today,
they win two series on the road in which they
didn't really hit at all. They had a couple of
(11:54):
blow up starts from starters where the bullpen had to
cover a ton of innings. So if you're all of
a sudden coming back from a road trip and you
go and you can go four and two without you know,
really playing all that well outside of some a couple
of really good pitching performances, you know that that in
and of itself is a confidence booster to where you
(12:14):
can look around that clubhouse and say, hey, man, if
we ever start playing well, like, there's no telling what
we can do, because we're we're out here winning series
and we're not even playing well yet.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Brian boga Sevic, thanks for the time, as always, appreciate
you and we'll continue to talk to you down the road.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
All right, guys, appreciate it.
