Okay, let's do this.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Sean Salisbury to usc Troup, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Dan matthewscuse ho, this is the Sean Salisbury show.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
We got Sean here, we got triple Lee, we got plenty,
we got to get into Texans training camp gets underway
today and perfect timing just hit one hundred degrees here
in Houston yesterday, so uh we no football is in
the air. Astros when there third in a row. Did

of it. Beat the d Backs three to one. Bryce
Matthews delivers the big, huge shot, his third home run

(00:45):
of the season. Romberveldez gets his eleventh win.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
And we got some.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Acc big ten media days all taking shots at the SEC.
We'll get to that as well. But welcome in Sewan,
Good morning to you. It's uh look, I'm I'm riding
on a little sleep, but it's good riding a little sleep.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
When the Astros win, there's no doubt. And welcome to
the morning. Welcome to this this three thirty wake up
call world. Man.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
I know it sucks, well, it only sucks because the
Astro's in the al West if they played the day
and I get they're playing the Diamondbacks, but these late
night games, god that sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yeah, and right now they're all West Coast time, so
you really are getting California time, guys, it's still two
hours of different.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
My petition to move to the Ale East because I
like those six central starts. I like those Red Sox
Yankee Stadium games that are all six' ten, starts.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Like the eight thirty five or, whatever six thirty, five
eight thirty five here the six. Forty, yeah makes for
pain and the. Ass but you're, right easier to wake
up when you know you're coming to talk about some
pretty good. Stuff and, yeah it got a little you,
know Little harry last, night, right but resilient. Comeback and
it looks to me Like Bryce matthews has a little,
uh what's the Word i'm looking. For THE dna guy's

(01:54):
got some some clutch, Genis, yeah he. Is and he's
not getting cheated on his on his disc stints of
his home. Runs now that's three and two, days and
this was. Clutch you're down one nothing you need at
the two runs, gime oh big time and late and
you come to the plate and you, Think, okay how's
this guy going to? Contrive but he's played six games
NOW i think it's a sixth game and now three
home runs and LIKE i, said with, authority but the

(02:17):
fact to get the bat on the ball and clutch
to put them ahead and was eventually obviously they got
the you, know a third, run but was the go
ahead and event eventually the winning. Run, anyway BUT i
love the clutch part of his. Game and then you,
Know king coming in and do what he's, done find
a way to get out of, it and they take
care of their. Business so it's a huge. WIN i,
Mean arizona had been playing well and The astros have

(02:38):
put that on him two in a row coming out
of their last couple. Series SO i was impressed with
it last. Night gordy and this, KID i don't, know
no matter what, HAPPENS i GUESS i guess he's here to,
stay right, well SO i saw somebody to You they're, like,
oh this is.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Perfect bryce is gonna he's gonna bait a team to
really want him and all, this And i'm, GOING i
don't think they want to trade this kid like, Him
and you, know again he's one of your top prospects
in your. System so, uh, YEAH i think he's, here you,
know here to stay the whole. YEAR i, mean we'll.
SEE i mean maybe there's a you, know if he

(03:12):
goes into a prolonged, slump they send him back.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
DOWN i don't know that could.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Happen but, YEAH i mean he's still only bat in two,
hundred so it's not like he's you, know absolutely. Killing but,
YEAH i mean the home front of that home run power,
MAN i, mean and and the timeliness of It fromber's
cruising all night and you're sitting here going all, right
losing one, nothing.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
We might want to do something.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Here, Yeah and in that eighth, Inning Taylor, TREMMEELL i
want to, say fell BEHIND o two and comes back.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
To work a, walk, right and that's huge Bat.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
And then uh and then here Comes Bryce matthews just
just not a Cheapie.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Gordy you think about the names you're, Saying, Oh Bryce
matthews and No Taylor tremmell work in the Count, yeah
and doing. It we've we've we've talked about it. Endlessly
how it's you, know is at fifteen sixteen, guys and
you made the point of wex putting, out here's your
all injury team that probably makes the. Playoffs oh, yeah
we got another name to had that list by the,
Way oh can't wait to hear this one. Too, yeah

(04:10):
add to. It but, resilience, grit whatever it is you
want to describe, them but, clutch and once again a
guy rolls through this organization and he's young and finds
a way to make a contribution and it came at
the right. Time they needed. That and this, Team i'm
anxious to see what they'd be like when they do get. Healthy. Gordy,
NOW i don't know when that's going to. Be when
you got, cumulative you got them all at least close

(04:31):
to a full, roster but that may not be this.
Year and when you Get Bryce matthews doing what he's.
Doing put it this, way the future looks pretty good
for a lot of these young. Cats but and for
some of, them it's. Weird it's head now and another
clutch play and home run and at bat for. Him
but make no, mistake you're. Right one of the best
at bats of the night Was tremmeel to fight it,
off draw walk and then you, know you see the

(04:52):
two run home run to put him ahead and then
the bullpen does what they've. Done we'll give you a
chance to. Win my favorite is From.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Ervaldez if you ever watch and The Space city folks
will find him in the. Dugout if it's a game
where he's going he just went six or seven and
it's either a tie game or The asters are down
by a. Run he's yelling at the, doug somebody get
me a run BECAUSE i want that. Win like and
it's really. Funny it's it's almost a little, selfish BUT
i love it Because frobber's going get me my damn.

(05:21):
Win oh, YEAH i pitched my ass off for you.
Guys go somebody go take the lead for me SO
i get that.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Win at Least gordy at least he's got bs tous. Right,
OH i just care about you know the Old i'm
just giving it one hundred and ten. PERCENT i. HOPEFULLY
i just want to put our team in the best.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Vision.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
NO i pitched that that deep into IT i need
And i've given up. Nothing please please get me a
couple of runs SO i can get this. Win AND
i love. That AND i Think, gordy If i'm not,
mistaken because it was looking at this just right out
of The All star. BREAK i believe he's Tied Terrek
school for the longest winning streak in, baseball at least
in The American. League i'm pretty SURE i thought that going.

(05:58):
In now Maybe i'm a game all, off BUT i
think it's close or he did His scooba for the
major's long so, yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
AND i was.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
HOPING i wasn't dreaming. That, so but he's going. Good
and some would consider him the second ace on the,
staff and some may consider the left hand or. Premium
but he's. Putting here's what he's, Doing. Gordy the price
tag just continues to. Rise. Right but back to the
point of somebody you saw On, twitter guess what's not
happening at The All STAR i mean at the trade?
Deadline Bryce matthews playing somewhere. Else, YEAH i wouldn't think

(06:29):
that that would be even, now especially remotely. Possible remote,
Possibility and obviously he's not going to give it. Up
when we talked To dana, today at least get an
idea of how busy this is going to, be because
it feels like it's going to be fairly. Aggressive, now
what are you going to part? With, Yeah, dana we'll
join you at nine point thirty. Here.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
YEAH i think his mo when he was, hired When
Jim crane brought him, in it was because his eye
is a. Scout they, said we need to build back
this farm system because you depleted it in the later
of The lenox.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Years and and, uh who's.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
The guy after, him bald guy, Anyway.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
James. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Uh they made so many trades and gave away so
many pieces of the. FARM i Think Jim crane looked
At dane and, Said, dana build me back my. Farm
so we got we gotta get this thing going again
if we're going to sustain this success and so. What
and then as soon As dana gets, here they Trade
Drew gilbert for to Get verlander, back and it's.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
So everybody loved and thought this is it he needed.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Him but BUT i Think dana was, like, crap, man
you brought me in here and build back this Farmsist
and so finally they kind of get this thing going.
AGAIN i just can't Imagine sean, that you, know be,
aggressive all you want all. THIS i just it's hard
for me to look at some of these top prospects
here and performing and going, yeah they'll trade those, guys.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Right, OH i. Agree and you know what's interesting, too
is you, KNOW i don't Think gordy it'll be for
a rental this. Year you, Know, KAKUCHI i THOUGHT couchi was.
OUTSTANDING i, mean he gave you a chance last year
and he pitched all BUT i think one start he
was pretty damn. Good book he, was and we never
got a chance to see him in the. Postseason you

(08:04):
got him here for that to get in and then
get a, chance and unfortunately he just And i'm sure
you hoped you could sign, him but he pitched well
enough for The angels to pay him a lot of
money and gave you a. Chance the problem is he
ran into a good pitching staff and didn't get, there you,
know a third game or a fourth game or another
playoff series and got beat by a good Pitching detroit
team and it didn't work. Out but while he was

(08:25):
here and giving up a you know what three prospects is, Like,
damn this is hard to do in the long, run
and May toronto may end up winning that, bet but
in the short, Term kakuchie was right. Here you needed.
That he was a power left hander and he rediscovered
himself and started throwing strikes and getting people. OUT i don't.
THINK i do think they'll go get, pitching AND i
do think that they're gonna go get power because talking

(08:45):
To Steve Sparks, monday he still thinks, that you, know
IF i gave him the, opportunity if he was A,
gm what would he? Do and he, SAID i would
focus on still at the. Plate. First he trusts pitching
more than he does the hitting right, now and obviously
so because all these injuries and the way the pitching staffs.
Performed BUT i don't think it's a. Rental BUT i
do believe that it's somewhere in. Between, gordy you, know

(09:08):
you have the ah just so you, know a pedestrian
trade and then you got the wow factor. Trade to,
me it sits somewhere in the. Middle war will know the,
guy but he may not be a. Superstar does that make? Sense?

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah and SO i don't think that we're going to
wake up and you, say, man they Lost Matthew's melton
and a prospect in a pitching prospect for you, know
whoever it is out there that you think that you can,
get whether it's on the mount or power from the left.
Side AND i asked this question yesterday and you can answer.
It you Know suarez In, arizona the talk and move
in him thirty six home. Runs are you just do

(09:40):
we just need power from the left side or what
if that opportunity was there and you had to get
power from the right? Side or are you just saying
it's either left handed power and. Pitching AND i don't
think you need bullpen starting, Pitcher so one of the,
two what would you? Take and, SECONDLY i don't think
it's a oh my, gosh they parted with for their.
PROSPECTS i don't think that's, happening gonna. Sting if you're

(10:00):
gonna get a good, PLAYER.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
I think at this, POINT i just want a guy
who can back like tow eighty two. NINETY i don't
really care if he's got thirty home runs and we
don't care what side of the. Plate, NO i just
need a, hitter like that's what they needs this. Point just,
somebody a proven hitter that could just add to your.
Lineup And, okay when that guy comes, UP i know
he's gonna give a competitive bat and maybe get on
base and next man. Up that's kind of WHAT i

(10:23):
just because this thing is so. TIGHT i, mean this
race is LIKE i.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Love, one one and. Nothing last NIGHT i think it
was one and nothing With Roley. Homer, AGAIN i love
the extra wild.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Card But, sean what it does is it makes everybody
think they're a buyer and not a. Seller, right and
we get to the trade dead line and you got teams.
GOING i mean even The angels are, like we're only
a couple of games.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
OUT i, mean you know they.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Gain The angels are four, back The twins are four,
back The guardians are two and a half, out are
one and a half.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Out, right then The diamondbacks have crept back. In, yes
The Red sox won ten in a row in The
American league for, theirs Diamond Back.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
That's.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Right it's it's too.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Close it's these teams are sitting there, going, guys if
we just win two or three series in a, row
we're in this.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
Thing.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Right and, again trade deadline, approaching they're all, like we're not.
Selling why won't we? Sell we're. Buyers we're gonna make the.
Playoffs we all for our sake and the. Banter we're, like,
oh there's gonna be a lot of, sellers, well sellers
number one IS i, mean maybe you're not going To
colorado when they sell and trying to find a player.
There but you're exactly. Right you're, Like, okay are The Red?
Sox are The? Diamondbacks are these teams sitting in a?

(11:27):
Position and you got to expect that that The dodgers
are going to be competitive for somebody like class sake a,
closer that The yankees are going to jump in and
try to find. Pitching you, know it's not that's the.
Problem it's not like free, Agency, gordy where you're, like
we got an, insight we're just gonna outbid. Everybody this
is now you got to outbid everybody and give stuff.
Up what are you willing to give? Up when you're
in your situation The astros obviously we know their, buyers

(11:50):
but you still have to have a second team to
deal with and who will that? Be and they also, Know,
gordy if you AND i if you're the owner And
i'm THE gm or vice versa for a team and
we're dealing with The, astros aren't you and you're looking
at their, injuries aren't you sitting there saying, well even
though they're in first. Place there's got to be a
little bit of desperation if they're not gonna get, healthy,
Correct So i'm gonna hold them a, bit a bit

(12:12):
hostage LIKE i would, anybody but to try and, say,
well If i'm doing, THIS i may pay, now but
you're gonna pay later because you're gonna. Sting so if
you're gonna get a guy they want like a, guy,
well a guy you just, mentioned a two eighty guy
that can drive the baseball regardless of the side of the,
plate and that helps every. Day you're gonna have to
give up. Something it's gonna stink because If i'm the opposing,
Team i'm gonna make it hurt a little. BIT i

(12:34):
just don't think it's a four, prospect five Prospect Zach
grinki deal to bring. HERE i do think this team
thinks it's A World series, team AND i do think
they think they're a player of health away and you
know they're Philosophy gordy with the part of them is
if we Get jordan And javier And garcia back and
paying you, back it's like trading for four players at The.
Den you know What i'm. Saying that's the philosophy and

(12:55):
it makes sense because you, know Really jordon's been non
existent in twenty twenty, five so it would be like
adding a new. Player here's the.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
THING i, Mean Bryce matthews Of Jacob, melton and your
two best prospects they're here. Now meultain's been, hurt, Right
but your third best prospect Is Walker Yannick janek whatever
IS i you pronounce the last, name but he's your
top hitting, catcher first round pick from a couple of years.
Ago they love, him so he's not going. Anywhere and
then you got number four Is Miguel, uloa who just
pitched a phenomenal game For Sugar.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Lane he's been.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Awesome but him and aj Blue ball right there they
are staring At you mentioned it earlier With. Fromber frommer's
leaving after this. Year he's a free, agent and then
everything they're fine with letting him. Go you can't afford
to trade a Blue ball or you loa because those
are the next guys up so.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
And a premium left handers, Too, Gordy so you've got.
It you've got to be thinking.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
TEN i kind of lean With. Danas this is his
thinking right, now is like maybe we maybe we Stand.
Pat maybe we just wait for these guys to get.
Healthy Jake myers was killing it before he got. Hurt
when he gets, back and if Ord on figures out
the hand, thing that's our bad that's our extra.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Bat can they win A World? Series as we so
today The ross you got to run out there if
you didn't make a deal And jordan didn't get healthy
And payne was out another three weeks And myers is
two weeks, away and all of a, sudden can they
win A World series with the way things are going
where it's like up and down with injuries and not
getting Yord on at full? Strength can you win This World?

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Series as much AS i want to say, No, sean
they're on a three game win streak and they've scored
a total of twenty runs With Bryce, Matthews Cam smith
and the and The pips like that's it's.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Good calling missing Is Gladys night?

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Right so if they could keep doing, THIS i, mean
LIKE i want to say, no history tells us.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
No but they get to the.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Playoffs it's kids who don't know any, better And Bryce
matthews's crushing home runs.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
And detroit goes through a tough pitching series or you
know What i'm, saying which can. Happen it can interesting
and that's the that's going to be the challenge day
To Brown house of to, be you, know to discern
between what's going to help us and where we don't
deplete the future and knowing you got to look ahead
and say what are we going to do with fromer
and what's going to. Happen you've got to have pretty

(15:01):
good idea AND i think they. Do but this is
a very important decision at the trade, deadline let alone
the bodies you're gonna get or give.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Up when we're returning here on The Shawn Salisbury, show
we will get you caught up on the injury update
and another starting pitcher to the Iye.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Ol we'll discuss that coming up Next.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Back to The Seawan Salisbury show On Sports talk seven
ninety supports your, astroids your, rockets your, voice.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
And you know you think about And i'm not a reality,
guy but WHEN i Watched Ozzy osmorren at times on The,
OSWORNS i, thought you, know this guy's actually well a nut,
job he's actually just a you, know they don't want
to have to be on all the, time, Right and
So i'm thinking. Nutjob but you know what perfect for
the stage because when people, say, well is that they
are in life now he's a rocker and all, That

(15:52):
but a lot of times they just actually when they're,
done they're completely different from they want to go home
and WATCH tv like you AND i. Do but So
i'm playing at my golf club AND i, remember AND
i didn't KNOW i Was neo out, there And i'm
getting ready to get on a golf cart And Alice cooper's.
There and now WHEN i think About Alice, Cooper i'm
thinking biting heads off snakes and you, know with all the.

(16:13):
Crazes and he's sitting in his golf cart and he looked,
dude he is he loves golf as much as he loves. Life,
Right and So i'm sitting there AND i walk by
AND i say, hello he says, hello and THEN i
just go over and shake his. Hand right THEN i, realized,
oh this is that, guy, right and he lives in.
THERE i, come assuming he still has a crib out.
There but So i've said there talking to, him And
i'm thinking While i'm, talking kind of Like Ozzy, osbourne

(16:35):
similar thought THAT i thought this guy is supposed to be
dressed up in a rock. Outfitting he's wearing golf. Clothes
and THEN i talk to his. Hairs he just is
calm and is enjoyable a guy's are. Is and the
only THING i said to him we were talking from,
boy he goes, Yeah. Sean he's a sports fan and
he WOULDN'T i, mean know me From adam normally other
than the fact that he's a football. Fan and so we're.

(16:56):
TALKING i, Said i'll make you a. DEAL i, said
all IS i? Care we can talk play catch at the. FOOTBALL
i just want you to teach me how, to you,
know play the, drums or let me just let me
come and watch a, jam say. Anything and well it
didn't happen BECAUSE i didn't push it on. Thought and
When Ozzy osborne, DIED i was, thinking both of these,
guys all the stage, presence we're losing those you, know

(17:17):
these guys are going going too fast and we're losing.
Guys there'll never be Another Alice coop and there's sure
as hell never going to be Another Ozzy. Osbourne so
we'll get one of those. Cuts but tomorrow full.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
Dedication and Notably Black, Sabbath yes is the you know
a little, young but you when you look Up, ozzy
you can also look.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Up bass, right and you'll fall in love with, IT i.
Hope but you know what's, Crazy gordy he got to
play that concert almost like, say it's almost like The
Good lord was, saying, Dude i'm go go ahead and
get this one. In, yeah, right and then the family
is going to be around. YOU i just it's iconic
for those of. Us SEE i grew up at the
time when he was it right that he was my.

(17:53):
Era and but the one thing about, it LIKE i
was mentioned With, cooper is is like you expect them
to be playing golf and make up and all the
craziness and where a snake sitting next to? Him but
just good, dude, MAN i never Met Ozzy, osbourne but
if he's anything like Like Alice, cooper it's, like you know,
what there's some pretty good guys that just know how to.
Perform we we we lost a good one, yesterday.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Which legend was more uh talk of legend him biting
that WHICH i always heard biting the head off a.
Bat and then somebody said that it was actually like
a bird or, something, right and then or urinating on The.
Alamo both STORIES i heard growing, up.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
BUT i would which one's, true which, ones which ones are?
True but, yeah WELL i think that to to bite the,
HEAD i, mean you got to have a different breed
OF dna to be biting the head off of live. Animal. Rug,
well that's part of. It LIKE i said THAT dna
it hits right on a nice on a on a

(18:47):
lid of, acid sitting next to. YOU i GUESS i
wonder if he's he can't be the only one that
pet on the. Album, well there's got to be somebody, else.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Right, WELL i was JUST i was actually just reading the.
Story they, said it's, uh he didn't actually pee on
the main building of The. Alamo it was one of
the outer.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Building, yes what are they going to do to take
a scholarship? Away you? Know he's, Like i've done, Worse but,
yeah we lost the legend, Man And i'm sure a
lot of people from that, era and there may be
some young. Ones if you don't know anything about, him
have a listen as. Me if you like hardcore rock and,
roll they were at the we called it heavy? Metal
are we still calling it heavy? Metal do we still
call it?

Speaker 5 (19:22):
That?

Speaker 2 (19:22):
So, yeah and so, well speaking of another guy From,
kiss we're watching a commercial ON. Tv he addressed in
his makeup and all these guys are performing, Normal AND
i think that's why comedians go through we lose them
at a young. Age they always feel like they got
to be. On you know What i'm. Saying but, yeah,
yeah that's exactly Right norm. McDonald i mean a lot
of them, sadly but it Is, uh we lost the legend.

(19:44):
Yesterday so, yeah good. Dedication i'm glad you said. That
we'll get the music, today but also a full dedication
throughout the week To Ozzy. Osbourne, well let's get into.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
It we got some injury updates yesterday from The, astros
but at first started with the news. Shown we get
the alert at ABOUT u five o'clock. Yesterday The astros
Placed lance mccullor's junior on the fifteen, DAY i l
due to a right finger, blister and to take his,
place they brought Back Nick hernandez for the. Bullpen BUT

(20:14):
i got tickets For friday night's game AND i was
excited to see What lance mccullors was gonna do against
The Oakland. A's but thus he is to THE i
l and look all the stuff that he has battled
to get, back and several years taken for him to get.
Back it's just it's almost laughable when you read it's
got a, blister you know WHAT i? Mean like for a,

(20:36):
picture if you got a blister on your throwing, hand
it is hard to deal with because you cannot grip the.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Ball but for people like you football, mentality it just
sounds like a. Blister come, on, man it's, True, gordy
because you'll have if you're sitting around a bunch of
the fellas in truth is you're exactly. Right, well it'd
be like a quarterback having an open blister where it's
on his index finger where he, finishes because that's a
last finger off the ball and you know you hear

(21:01):
that click when it comes off the ball when you're
standing there and still you can kind of but you
would deal with. It and this is not a macho.
Thing but, yes it's always hard to. Explain now if
it was an everyday, player is, say put a second
skin on that that you have wrapped the bitch up
and let's go, play, Right these would break a, finger
they go pop it back, in go back out. THERE

(21:21):
i told the. STORY i think it was a week.
AGO i had a guy during pre season on my
team who was a guy a special teams in, linebacker
had had to make the team every year and. Buses
he compound fraction in, preseason taped it. Up they wrapped it,
up stitched it on the side half To he came
back out with full tape and played in the second.
Half and so but that was old. School nowadays they
say we can't put, dude he wrapped it up and did.

(21:41):
It And Greg gaines it was it. Was it was.
Alarming BUT i, MEAN i thought his finger was gonna.
Fall i'm sitting right, there let's go. Play i gotta go.
Place salas is what he. CALLED i had the Deep
Tennessee south when he's a form of, volunteer and it's,
like that's how he survived. It so it is when you,
stay when you look at it on the, service you're, saying,
dude are you? Fifteen? What but and you're right about.

(22:03):
Mcclors he's been cut open ON UCLs and everything, else
and you're, saying what kept you out? Fit well? Blister so,
yes while on the, surface it's, like are you kidding?

Speaker 5 (22:12):
Me?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Now if a player came and, said, oh he's got a.
Blister he's got a miss fifteen days was an everyday,
player you And i'd both be set here saying, enough come,
on but on your throwing, fingers on your pitching. Hand
it's tough to. Do and, uh it's just a bummer
for him because you know his last struggle and the
way things are going for. Him but at some point
time you're, saying then can he go three or four

(22:33):
years without a? Setback, yeah well this.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
Was gonna be a great spot for the bad outing last.
Time i'm, like he gets The Oakland eights at home
perfect and well at home. Again, yeah i mean go
five innings of one run ball with eight, strikeouts like
we'd go all, right there he, is there's good, lights
he's back.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Right there's no doubt about. It i'm sure it's just
as frustrated because listen as an athlete, too with people say,
hey why you? Out then you're you're you're u c
l ok or what's going? ON i got a? Blister,
well but it's different for the. Pitch you're, right the
surface of it drive you a little, crazy and more
so because it's him and what he's been through to
get back and unfortunately. Struggles and the truth, is, well

(23:10):
we may not a big deal of. It you're gonna
get a chance to see some somebody. Else but mccullors
is needed right, now and a successful mccolors is. Needed
and this is just you, know a fifteen day setback
that's going to take you now Into, august which is.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Tough i've seen a few people like on social, Media
i'll cut, him, ah just you, know designated for, assignment
get rid of. Him and it's, like, okay, one he's
doing a lot of money next. Year two when he's been,
good he's been. Awesome DID i remind you Of dodger
staated him a few weeks?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Ago he was he was kicking ass out. There that's.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Right that guy still in there. Somewhere you just need
to find that guy more.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Consistently so, right and that guy the blister just adds
to The oh my, Gosh but you also got to
have the warm, Body, gordy you, SAY i mean with
the way they, ARE i mean they need. This it's
just a bummer that it happened to, him with the
way things are. Going And i'm sure that last starts
festering two and two thirds innings and he wanted to
get out there and take care of his business as.

(24:01):
Well and now it's just. Delayed august is going to
be an interesting. Month trade deadline will pass and then you,
know are there going to be eight bodies come back
for The astros where it looks like the mass units
CLEARED upcuus is going to be.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Interesting what colors is the Seventeenth astros player to hit
the injured list and the seventeenth.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
And it's not seventeen guys that are just, like you,
know somewhat. Contributors it's a lot of those bodies are
guys that are have either been stars or a heavy
heavy hitters meaning pitchers and hitters that have impacted this
team in this roster and man. Alive the fact that
they're able to survive it and continue to extend the
lead pretty.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Impressive when we, Return, sean we did get some injury
updates on some other guys and some some positive news
it sounds, like and some of these other guys we'll
head on that coming up Next To's Sean Salisbury.

Speaker 1 (24:48):

to be there for a round And, augusta But i'll
watch the practice.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Round that's fine with. Me, well you get, it and
you also get a little more fun and freedom from the,
players Right you get to see it where they're a
little more raw and unfiltered and, stuff which is pretty.
Cool and it's tough to be that way out there
because you, know phones aren't allowed on the on the
grounds and you can't run. Anywhere you gotta walk and be.
Careful don't address him as. Fans you better call him
patrons and they'll run your ass out, too you. Know
of all the, places And i've been to a lot

(25:25):
of great sporting, MITHS i still have not been. There,

pebble playing At pebble or at That cypress point this.
Year so it is a. Goal you. Know the key
is no people in high, places WHICH i got to

(26:02):
get better at because going through that, LINE i want
to get to somebody because getting that, ticket there's a
long line to stand in, Brothers so it's, like, man
DO i tell anybody that's know a lot of, them
but they're ballhogging them so you're trying to get it
out of a buddy's. Hands is.

Speaker 4 (26:13):

okay well you don't how any pictures or videos or anything.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Shows the way it. Works and then there's that media

Speaker 2 (27:33):
SECOND i wanted to get to these.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Astros injury, updates we talked About lance mccullor's headed to
THE I l with a blister on his.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Hand some other.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Updates Yesterday Sean Spencer arraghetty through three innings In Double
DOUBLE A corpus last. Weekend he is scheduled to pitch
again With DOUBLE A corpus this, week so that's. Good
Uh aarraghedty is on his track coming back from the sproking.
Thumb and it would seem like And i'm sure your
last Day ina coming up now thirty but maybe Early.

(28:02):
August you, know we're we're we're getting into Late july.
Here so somewhere along that, Track arragetty will be, back
and let's hope he trends on that on that. PATH
Jp france right shoulder surgery he's coming off. Of he
threw one in the third innings in The Florida Coast
league down there In West. Palm he is scheduled to
report To DOUBLE A corpus this, week So france will
Join arraghetty And Corpus. Christi Luis garcia through two innings

(28:26):
In SINGLE A. Fayetteville he is scheduled to report To
DOUBLE A Corpus christi this.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Week So Corpus christie's got some lights on the.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Way Aaron astros, fan and you're looking for a weekend get,
away that might be worth getting down the corpus to
go see some of these big.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Dogs gets down the here it hit the beach and
then go Watch Bingo banngo, bongo three guys that have been.
Huge here go watch A corpus is, like, man we've
got three of the best. PICTURES i, mean this is
as good as it gets for our our, one, two three.
Guys so so good on them and be and hopefully
no setbacks for any of.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Them so Arragedtty. Franci garcia is g to be In
corpus this. Week Christian hobvier through three innings With corpus last.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Week he is scheduled to report To TRIPLE a Sugar
land this.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Week so to our listeners out in Sugar, land you
may be getting A christian hoavier appear as sometime very.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Soon so that's. Good should we be concerned that the
minor league pitching has more wins than the major league.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Pitching it, is it is a little it's a little,
concerning but it's, okay Uh jor and On, alvarez they
say currently going through a hitting. Progression so, remember like
two weeks ago it was he still on swinging a,
bat last week we got he's picking up a bat,
again and right now we get currently going through a hitting.
Progression SO i gotta think that means he's getting closer
to a return.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Here and if the progression is still there and he's
taking the steps of, progression then there's no, setback, yeah
which is a good. Thing once, again all, along this
is a this is In. August the question is win
In august and hopefully no setback because just his, Presence,
gordy it's like you compared to if you've got a,
great great running back in your, backfield everything else is
just simpler for an, offense even if he's not touching the,

(30:02):
ball just because of the way you got to. Defense
the same thing. Here, well you need his bat and,
hitting but when he affects everybody around him because you're
getting you don't want to be too cute as a.
Pitcher you don't want to give because you don't want
to be the reason he got, hot, right so you're
staying away and, Say, okay If matthews beats, Me i'll
have to deal with. That he's a young. PLAYER i
can't let that dude beat. Me and so far this,

(30:22):
year before the, injury he wasn't beating many people with
the long. Bowl but you, all you do know going
in that there's not ten guys when he's going right
that swing the bat better than he. Does so In,
august but win In august and Hopefully Dana brown will
maybe get a little more clarity to that for him
or where they're. Looking but usually in that, situation it's
is he pain free day to day and then the
next part of the progression rolls. On august is a

(30:45):
week from This, Friday so that's a week and a
half still.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
Away, YEP i don't, know, Man, like maybe we keep
Saying august and maybe a week from today he's back
on and go see there you go a few other.
Guys zach De zenzo. Continues his running and throwing has
not progressed to hit, yet so he's a ways. Away
Brendan rodgers to stayed a concussion and a nasal fracture last,
week so he's dealing with. That Jacob melton is In.

(31:09):
Florida he's going through a, hitting, running and throwing. Progression
Sean dubin is In. Florida he threw a twenty Pitch
LIVE bp. Yesterday luis Ki yormey is In florida going
through a, hitting running and throwing. Progression Pedro leone continue
to hit with his. Stuff Jake, myers they say is
rehabbing In. Houston that was the only update we got
On Jake. Myers so it's a calf. Strain you gotta

(31:29):
think he's. Okay, yeah just keep updating this and. That
and then, Lastly Jeremy. Panya he is still In, florida
currently going through a, hitting, running and throwing.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Progression so you know there's enough guys In florida that
you can have a second full spring. TRAINING i mean,
YEAH i mean live, pitching good live. Hitting they're all.
OUT i mean they're having a party Down there'd just
be nicer if it was up here In.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Houston, yeah no, doubt but, hey at least the good
news is pitching, wise they get the big three Names,
Arrogatty france And garcia all going To double and Then
javier coming To.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Triple a's that's good news on those For. Yeah If
xavier is going From corpus To triple To sugarland and
not headed back To, florida that's a really good.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
Thing it's wild because we had HEARD i mean, Like
i'm gonna talk to this somebody during spring training and
they were, like it's really wishful thinking if you Think
javier is going to come back this year Like david
spring training next, year, Right so, hey that's that's a.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Positive, well if that's the, case then he's well ahead of.
Schedule CONSIDERING i think a lot of us, felt, well
you can't count on him this. Year what a shot
that would be for you and you're in a positive
way if you could get him the last month and
a half to two months of the season, healthy, man
what a great get that'd, be especially now with mccolors
on a fifteen DAY il and anything else that's going.
On pretty. Cool as he continues to make that stride,

(32:47):
back it feels like it's been a long time for
him AND i can't wait to see and he's throwing
it in ninety, five which is a little more velo
than he normally. Averages he's pumping it up, there which is.
Good even though his fastball sits feels like it's ninety.
Eight but he's when you're clocking in a ninety five coming.
Off that looks like he's ahead of, schedule which is
a good.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Thing the one more update we didn't mention Each Paradis JOE.
A spot has said before the game yesterday that, yeah
we're still waiting for the official report on, him but
it doesn't look. Good, Basically Chanler rome's got a piece
up this morning Saying paridi's hamsterring injury is heightened the
astros desire to add offense at the, deadline but they

(33:24):
it's not a shock because they've been exploring a position
player market for a while, now but this kind of
adds to.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
It, Okay paridi's not coming back anytime. Soon well are
you interested In? SUAREZ i, Mean i'm, Interested But, god
When paradis comes, back then what.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
If they, go D, hey, yeah you guys want to
us and That Bryce matthews looks pretty good And Cam
smith and they know you're desperate for.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Power give us both those guys and we could talk
and that answer would be absolutely not, correct so you
hang up the. Phone in that, discussion would you give
Up melton For?

Speaker 4 (33:55):
Suarez it's easy to say because he's not playing right,
now but with the the the, question the future in
question For chas McCormick And Jake myers and what the
hell we're doing in left field with L. TWOVE i
can't give up an. OUTFIELDER i gave up Through gilbert
two years. AGO i can't give up right top outfield
prospects right and a guy who strikes that a, lot
but you know you're gonna get popped from. Him and

(34:15):
the question is how long do they Think paradis is
going to be out with? This even though it's a
day to day thing with, That but if it's going
to be an extended point in, time maybe he comes into.
Play but, again the sting of what you have to
part with may not be worth. It, yeah who are
some names that they could look. At we'll kick that, Around.
John we'll get to your call as. Well this is
The Shawn Salisburg show right here On Sports talks of a.

Up i's cracking, guys how are y'all this? Morning good,
man good, good Good.

Speaker 7 (38:22):
Hey just to reiterate a couple of things that shown
had spoke about. EARLIER i as a child and in
my early, twenties my family owned a restaurant in The
richmond At, Richmond texas for over fifty forty eight fifty
two years something like.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
That, anyway we.

Speaker 7 (38:44):
Had the pleasure of having a few of the well
two of the three guys from the state Of, Texas
little old Bad we all know of were regulars And
i'm going to tell you they were down to. Earth
THEY i mean they would come in there with the

(39:05):
with the wife and the, girlfriends and the manager and
the road manager blah blah. Blah one of them never
came who lives. Local but uh, yeah the two, GUYS
i MEAN i knew them my whole. CHILDHOOD i mean
from when they were touring in the seventies and have
memorabile about.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
It but like he was talking about With, ozzie they
they're off, stage they're just general regular. People it's crazy
how the musicians are.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
A couple of.

Speaker 7 (39:39):
Things, Though.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
How crazy is.

Speaker 7 (39:42):
It gonna be If hendrickson doesn't sound With Cincinnati, Sean.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Well it's it'd be the philosophy that we're just gonna
go score forty and and AS i mentioned On, twitter
and then and give, up you, know three more points than.
That they've made an unbelieve will commitment to their offensive
side of the ball money, wise AND i you, know
we don't know the deep the deep dive into, this
but man, alive it won't matter if you can't get

(40:08):
off the field. Defensively you're adding too much pressure On
burrow in that. Offense so get he's been your Big
he's what seventeen and a half sacks led the league last.
Year the guy has been a great. Player he's gonna
get paid and they need.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
Him so let's play.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
This we know this ain't going let's have fun with him.

Speaker 8 (40:24):
Today So, uh what WOULD i, mean let's Play let's
Play gene like you'd like to, say what's gonna be
the chances of you if he sits?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Out they? Spilled they ain't scared to spend the money
Like brown.

Speaker 7 (40:42):
DOES i, mean what's the chances of putting him on
the opposite side next?

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Year, uh it'd be, great it'd be. Great guess what
he's not doing at this stage of his. Career and
you AND i both know, It, john when push comes to, shove,
somehow some, way he's gonna be playing and getting. PAID
i don't know how, much BUT i can't. See most
guys don't have the guts to hold. Out you'll get
A Dwayne by once in a. While most don't have
the guts to Say i'm turning down you, know four

(41:08):
hundred and eighty or five hundred grand a week or
whatever it is they're getting. Paid BUT i get what
you're saying it's it's, nice great. Fantasy, WELL i just
don't see how The bengals are, somehow some way don't
get it close to what he, wants because without him
you become as subpar of defense as you have in that,
division the worst defense in the division quite, frankly if
that's the. Case so he's got to get. Paid BUT
i like. YOU i like your. Thought it's not gonna

(41:29):
happen here though you AND i both know. It our
number one is in the.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
Books when we get an hour number, two we will
kick around some of the names possibly out there on
the trade front for The. Astros we go get to
Some texans news as. Well it's A Shawn salisbury. Show

are some weeks that are rougher visits With dana because
you just have to ask some tough questions and face
some tough. Music but uh got feel will be a
pleasant visit With data.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
TODAY i would think st, yeah may may may not
have liked it coming out of a. Couple, yeah after
the beginning Of seattle first. Two but got, it AND
i would imagine, HE'S i don't know if ecstatic is
the right word for it, now BUT i would imagine
that he's pretty giddy about the fact that where they,
are considering what's gone on this, year and then you

(45:34):
mentioned all those injuries that down In Corpus christie or
he probably never, happy is never happier to see Uh
Corpus christy And sugarland in his, life because by the,
standing if it continues on this, pace he's going to
get all That august wish where he's gonna come back
and have a surplus of, arms which will be a
nice thing which they haven't had all.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
Year and we're getting some good. Again we're getting some
movement now in some of these injuries with the at
least with the. Pitchers when we got you know who
was we ran through. That, Arraghetty france And garcia are
all supposed to be In DOUBLE A CORPUS yep later this,
week And Christian hobby are expected to report To TRIPLE
A sugarland this.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Week so good news on all those. Fronts that is
really really.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
Good But, SEAN i was Reading Chandler rome's got a
piece up kind of discussing The astros and the trade
deadline and you know what they should be looking? For
and he basically, says you, know with this looming or
this this news on estoc, paratus that just it's not.
Great you, know who should The astros be looking? At

(46:36):
it the trade? Deadline and Basically chandler's got a piece
up saying That astros need to be looking at a potential.
Infielder and what are the names he threw? Out there
is a guy that is In colorado right now. Now
he's not playing, great but a guy by the name
Of ryan, McMahon who maybe a lot of folks aren't familiar,

(46:58):
with thirty years, old signed a what was it a six,
year seventy million dollar deal a couple of years. Ago
so this is a guy under contract this, year next,
year and the year after making about.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Sixteen million a.

Speaker 4 (47:10):
Year and, uh he's been two nineteen on the, year
but he's got sixteen home runs driven in thirty. Five
he can play some third. Base and that's the name
that's kind of been floated out there Of, okay, well
that might be a guy that The rockies are rolling
apart with and can plug him right there there at third.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Base and Better gordy. Better then he's a better hitter
than that average would normally, say especially, there and you're
gonna get. That, well, hell he's hitting low two hundreds
and in that, Ballpark well he has been. IN i,
MEAN i know exactly As i've watched plenty of baseball with.
Him he's a he is a better hitter than and
you may get him at a cheaper price because of
the struggles at the, plate but he's got pop in

(47:49):
his bat and is not a two hundred, hitter yeah his.
Career so he's a mid he's a mid guy in,
there but he also has he can drive the, baseball
which they're looking, for and that falls into the that
mid category of he's not a guy nobody's ever heard,
of and he's not gonna. Be he's not a, superstar
but brings, power, versatility and what you want from a

(48:10):
guy who can play the. Infield and you can plug
him from you, know somewhere in the six hole or
somewhere in, there depending on what lineup you're running out,
there and that's a good get and you wouldn't have
to part with you'd have him under, control and you
would not have to part, with you, know three of
your prime minor league prospects or assets even on the
major league. Level so good Get AND i would Imagine

(48:31):
colorado's trying to move money, Anyway so that might be
one that they're more desperate than the team that's going
to get.

Speaker 4 (48:36):
McMahon he was An All star last year in twenty twenty.
Four so, again just just a name that's floated out.
THERE a few other, one a few other Ones chandler
put out. There he said The rays do not seem
inclined to move second Basement, brandon is it Lower?

Speaker 2 (48:51):
LOW i always forget which ones, are AND i think
they just put him on THE, il didn't? THEY i think,
so BECAUSE i, mean and he's got like nineteen home
runs this. Year, yeah so he got the you got
to low and allow there's The rangers is A low
and is A, tampa AND i think goes back to
you're exactly.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
Right i'm not saying, wow that's exact changer. Spelling if
you want to, lau if you Want, lao that's.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
RIGHT i think he's banged up right. NOW i don't
know how long it, is but you know he's he's
close to twenty home runs coming out of this, break
so he's also got some.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Power so again he, says rays do not seem inclined
to move, him so kind of throw him. Out But
ryan McMahon From colorado is. One, Now chandler does point
out his twelve million dollars annual salary calls into question
Whether Jim crane will cross the luxury tax because according
to How but he, says about a little over two million.
Away so anybody you bring in that's making pretty good

(49:45):
money is going to put you in that luxury. Tax
so it's it's a tough it's a tough sell because it's,
like are we desperate enough to go that much into
the luxury tax just to add another?

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Bat and then the question is, This, gordy if you
did go get him, HOW i, mean you, know money comes,
in money goes, out, right how do You i'm setting your, Thinking,
well if you trade a minor leaguer, right you're not
going to get that kind Of that's my. Point how
many bodies would you have to trade or a person
on your roster right now to at least to close
that gap or try to offset one coming and something

(50:17):
going BUT.

Speaker 5 (50:18):
I Mean.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Colors better, right, Agreed and you're and you're not going
to give up three prospects to try and equal that.
Money so it may be a long shot because well
history tells you they don't want to creep into that
luxury tax. Area so if unless you had a player
these said we got to get rid of this, salary
like if a Bray you was, here, RIGHT i, mean
even Though i'm not Sure colorado, won't but you get my.

(50:40):
Points somebody like that could offset. It But i'm with.
You minor leaguers aren't going to offset that. Salary and
you're not going to just happen to throw in his
LANCE mc. Colors that's not going to. Happen so the
question is do they want to creep into the luxury
tax which hasn't been something they've wanted to.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
Do and a few other Names chandler points, out AND
i encourage you guys go read his stuff in The.
Athletic chandler doesn't really a few of their names he
floats out. There he, says if The New York mets
were to Dangle Brett, baddie he fits the. Mold so
Does baltimore's all STAR Dh ryan O'Hearn And minnesota switch
hitting utility Man willie Castro. SO i think it's all
about those teams deciding all, right we're, sellers we. SUCK i,

(51:18):
mean The mets are right there in the you, know
in the thick of the wild card. Hunt still you,
Know twins are four games. BACK i can see the O'Hearn.
Thing you, know he's Got All, star but he's Got
All star. Game and this, TEAM i don't think they
went into this season thinking that they were going to
part you, know fire their. Manager this team was on
the way, up and we, thought, man this is the

(51:39):
last they've been though they were The Toronto Blue jays
as the last couple of, years you know where they
were In, vogue depict and everybody and In, toronto while
now in first, place has underachieved last couple. Years The Baltimore,
orioles even though they got in the postseason and couldn't
get through deep into the, postseason these young players are, like,
okay this there's some good things. Happen, well you fire your,
manager you're ready to part with some of these guys you've.

(52:00):
Underachieved you Traded Corbyn. BURNS i believe was it a
trade or a free agent walk in the off, season
or he's. Gone so you're, Like, okay which way are
we going? Here and right now O'Hearn may be a
guy you can, get and that seems more logical than somewhere.
Else the question is what are you willing to give?
Up and it's not just what you're willing to, get
it's going to be what are you willing to? Go
because he's a good, player, now, ohearn this one might

(52:22):
make the most, sense.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Agreed and his name has been floated around every time
something comes up with The astros or the trades. Anywhere
O'Hearn's names at the top of that.

Speaker 4 (52:31):
List he's bat in two eighty this, year he's got twelve,
homers thirty six, ribies and he's on an expiring.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Deal, yep so you would just be getting him for
the rest of this.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
Year so, granted you, know you would think you wouldn't
have to give him a ton for a guy an expiring.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Deal if you're gonna, rent you sure as hell don't
want to give up a lot to do.

Speaker 4 (52:46):
It you've seen that Movie he's a left handed, bat
Which dana said that they'd love to.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Have the only thing is he's technical first. Baseman so
what do you do? There i've Got Christian walker there
at First is he going to be dhing for you a?

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Lot?

Speaker 2 (52:59):
Yeah the question is now what do You, okay let's just,
say Is matthews?

Speaker 5 (53:04):
Here?

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Yeah the QUESTION i mean if he STAY i Mean
i'm talking about he didn't get. Traded if he stays,
up you know he's sitting like you, said two, hundred
but the home runs three and two days and playing good.
Baseball but is there a scenario Where walker stays at first,
Base jordon spends more time in left field yet coming
off an injury even though it's his, hand or you're
gonna want to put him out and Al tuove back
at second base while you're going through, this If Bryce

(53:26):
matthews isn't an everyday, player or if you say we got,
it we're sending him back down because well he's hitting
one ninety seven even though he's got home, runs or
he's he needs another little bit, more or, injuries whatever it.
Is but the question is how versatile can you make?
Him is he just a first? BASEMAN Dh AND i
can tell you. This if they make that, MOVE i
think it'll tell you more also about how far Away

(53:47):
yordon is, right just because it's a similar. Situation if
you don't want to play him in left, field you're
not Getting ohrd to put him on a bench right
and you're not gonna with the Money Christian walker, Plays
you're not having that guy on the bench. Either, no
and they're not gonna platoon let righty. Correct so it's it's.
INTERESTING i like the. BAT i, think wasn't all hurt
in The All Star game this? Year was he this?
Year was? Alive was he An All star this? Year

(54:08):
to look it? Up for some, REASON i felt LIKE
i THOUGHT i or the home run? DERBY i, mean
was he in one or the? Other? It AM i
losing my? Mind so the question is how versatile is?
He is it just first BASE? Dh and if that's the,
case how far away is if you knew jord isand
was out for six more? Weeks i'm all, In, yes
there you, go and you CAN dh him if that's the.

(54:29):
Case BUT i don't. KNOW i don't know enough about.
It he's thirty one years, old the game played a little.
Third that's WHAT i don't. Know that's why if he
can then it makes no. Sense but if you're Don,
cancer did you ever play right? Field, no we'll get out.
There and now you think the guy's going to be
a gold glover right at some point in your squaer so. Listen,
yeah and you may be able to put him somewhere
else versatility. Wise but he does have a good bat

(54:52):
and there is pop from the left hand. Side and
LIKE i, said even though the numbers aren't the, gotdy
he was in The All Star. Game so he's a
pretty good. Player but what are you going to give
up again to get him as a? Rental?

Speaker 4 (55:02):
Yeah ninety is the number of you guys want to
jump in the. Conversation we've got plenty more to go
talking to, astros talk At texans and your.

Camp what did you like most about this time of?

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Year what did you not? Like, WELL i didn't like
the fact that when jim When mac AND, I jimmy
McK AND i were, teammates that he'd come in and
keep me up every single night in my dorm room
and he didn't require much. Sleeve mac WOULD i remember
the very first Night gordy in the dorms in Man,

(56:19):
Cato mac WOULD i locked my, door the dead bowl
on the door BECAUSE i KNOW i know, him and
he's parading around the hallways after, curfew because that's Who mac, is,
RIGHT i lock it and do because the first night
he came in And Gino, terretta who was a rookie
at the, time was my roommate and a great, dude and, yeah,

(56:39):
yeah and we're sitting there And i'm the one who
brought all the, treats, RIGHT i had refrigerated at the,
time my. Wife i'd bring candy and, cookies and so
the fellows would all come in and, Say, sean we
got some, liquorice you got some of, this you got
some of, that so they'dn't be, eaten And mac would
come in And mac liked to needless to, say The
mac likes his. Cannabis and once the first night was,

(57:02):
over the next, morning when you reported the, camp you
had to take. Tests once you pass that, test and
you're not a. Problem cause he could walk up the
stairs with a joint and nobody could do. Anything. Well
mac didn't have a problem with, that making sure his
bones and body were. Ready but then he come in
my room and want to, eat and it'd be like
two in the. Morning it's, like, DUDE i got. It
and we'd be sitting on the dorm room bed it's
like and he's making you. Laugh and Then Tim irwin
would come in and play the. Guitar it's like fellas,

(57:24):
WEEK i got practice, tomorrow AND i knew what he would,
do because then the next morning he'd go kid and
shoulders a little. Sore So i'd be taking all the
reps in one hundred degree weather like, you you, prick
you know What i'm. Saying and SO i dead bolted
the door the next night to keep his ass, out
and he walks by open this blankety blank door and

(57:47):
he he hits it and there's he puts a little
in the, door and SO i had to leave the
door open because he was going to keep us up. Anyway,
Anyway so that part of, it that waking up on
a little sleep and getting all the work BECAUSE i
knew he was gonna, SAY, i kid, man my hand
is a little of that. Camp mac was a horrible
practice player but a great, gamer, right and he's still
he'd sit back there with the sweats, on say, men,
kid you're doing great. Things i'm, like, dude you're an.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Idiot.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Okay SO i knew other than, that, Really, GORDY i
loved the. COMPETITION i loved the the. COMRADE i know
we hear this all the. TIME i loved training. Camp
So i'll tell you what's the hardest part is sleeping
in a single dorm room bed, Right and about day
three of training. Camp every all ten years of my,

(58:29):
career all of us. Quit you, know you wake up
and we're Saying i'm just gonna quit to, Them i'm.
Done i'm retiring in three. Years and then you go
out and, Practice you come back and you do it
again because you're. Exhausted and then you, think, well, Here
i'm tired of. Throwing what about the right guard who
has to block somebody in that time you were practicing
back to back days and pads and the rest of.
It so both, quarterbacks you're not hitting. Us So i'm, Like,
sean what are you complaining? About SO i didn't Have

(58:51):
there wasn't a lot of. COMPLAINTS i loved training. CAMP
i loved after the night meetings going and having a
beer and laughing with the. GUYS i liked the. COMPETITION
i liked the strategy you put, in the game plan
in there wasn't, anything and it was a month To
i'm big on just the, stuff the fellas and the.
Laughs and then LIKE i, SAID i was a glutton
for like the preparation and the chess pieces that went

(59:15):
in when you put something new in, Right SO i loved.
It that was my my favorite. Thing was was just
being around because your families will come and visit you
on the, weekend or you'll go visit then when you
get a day. Off but it was just the and
when they say the greatest relationships that you meet are
guys that you fight, with sweat, with cry, with compete,

(59:37):
with compete. AGAINST i loved, it AND i was fortunate
that a lot of great. Teammates the laughs for me
and the preparation and just going through how it felt
when camp was over and, Knew, okay you're on a
team again and you can build. IT i missed that
as much as. Anything if you, Say, sean you want
to go back for a month and the dorms and
you can bring all the fellas back and you can

(59:57):
have a month and we can act like old guys
and ask, stupid would be. GREAT i love it because
you'll never get that, again even at your corporate job
or wherever you're. Working you just don't get, that, Right,
gordy because you're you're you're in it for the same.
Goal SO i know it sounds, cheesy but for me
it was THE i Don't there may be a PLAY
i don't remember in training, camp BUT i can tell you.
THIS i remember the laughs and the, stupid all those

(01:00:19):
great stories of one time you're breaking curfew and and
you're with a star, player so you're not going to
get in. Trouble hope you don't get. Caught and then
you wake up the next day and, say, well man
stayed up late last. NIGHT i, sure HOPE i have
a Good all those things you go through your. Mind
it was sitting around in the locker room or having
a beer or at night, time even THOUGH i wanted
to Lock Jim jim McMahon, out sitting on that bed at,

(01:00:41):
night laughing and joke until two in the morning was
worth every lack of sleep you ever. Got SO i
love that. Part that's ninety three. Seasons, yeah, YEAH i
loved my whole time, There but that ninety two ninety three, season,
Yeah jim was. There that had. Fun but When warren
AND i WERE i had great quarterback. Room, Wilson, Warren,
Moon Brad, johnson, McMahon different guys every sam like all

(01:01:04):
six years or.

Speaker 4 (01:01:05):
Whatever was McMahon, like was he walking around all the
time Like i'm hot stuff because it's The Super?

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Bowl No, Ever jimmy McMahon is the guy that you
hate playing against him because of that, attitude, right and
we played against him before that when he was In,
chicago and then when he came To minnesota when he
walked in the, door instant, credibility but INSTANT i love this.
Guy He jim McMahon was the only quarter they put
quarterbacks in one area nextra. Receiver McMahon was the only

(01:01:33):
guy who he got his locker in the middle of
the offensive line, lockers and he wanted it that. Way
But jim was a, joker competitive but had no problem
buying for the, guy the. Fellow everybody loved him Because.
Mac while he took competition, Serious jim McMahon didn't get
cheated out of his fund for all the years he. Played,
no he.

Speaker 5 (01:01:52):
Did.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Now now some people don't like him because they think He's,
eric but That's max's. Person he really is a big,
hearted just a good. Dude but you don't see that
unless you're around him every. DAY i REMEMBER i asked,
HIM i, Said, matck you take him some tape home to.
Study he looked at, me he, goes, Kid he's always
called me a. KID i don't ever take tape. Home he,
GOES i don't want us to overstudy to the point
WHERE i can't, react which meant, No i'm. Not and

(01:02:13):
he had never took tape home to watch. It he
studied it at work and that was it because he
wanted to be a react and that's what he. Was
he wasn't your technician like. Manning his FOOTBALL iq was
through the, roof but he went at it common sense
wise instead of. Chess he didn't mind playing. Checkers he'd
get there anyway he. Could he'd go like seven to
twenty and the seven plays were all for first downs

(01:02:34):
and great. Throws and then he'd run three times for thirty.
Yards that was who he. Was but you would love
he's first you come in because you are a. GUARD i, think,
oh this Is jim, McMahon PUNKY. Qb this is A bears.
Guy what's he going to be? Like and while the
attitude on the outside looks from a distance like he's,
ARROGANT i can tell you, this he's one of the
greatest teammates you will ever. Have the players love him
because he played. Hurt he didn't. Care he wasn't about stats.

(01:02:58):
Room he just wanted to win and wanted to have
a good. Time SO i was gonna, ask did he
get hurt that, seat BECAUSE i see you started four?
Games yeah he, Got he got banged, up came in
and then came, back so he had him. Playoffs but
he was a gamer. Man the guy was any great.
Competitor BUT i don't know a teammate that didn't love.
Him and he just and he kept the meetings loose
and and uh AND i love. It so for training,
camp for, me it was a chance to get, away you,

(01:03:20):
know and and focus on. It but it's just being around.
Guys and once you leave that and you retire from,
it some of the, players, unfortunately you'll never see again
some of your teammates that you laughed, with unless you
stay in. Touch but you know how guys. Get you
talk to your best friend once a year and it's, like, well,
man that's just who we, are and they still stay great.
Friends so for, me it was the competition and the,

(01:03:42):
preparation but more importantly the relationships of the stupidity at
night watching offensive. Linemen uh have the like the, uh
what are the the paintball? Guns, yeah where they run
up and down the hallways after curfew and if you
were ro uping down the, hallway they fire a paint
gun at you and in your back and put a
little welt on, like well you can't do, that, No
but we all kind of bought into, it so you'd,

(01:04:03):
say how AM i going to kiss their? Ass so
they're not shooting me When i'm in the shower walking
down there with a paintball gun to start your. Morning
but we had a bunch of, jokers but serious foot
we have on that. Team we had Six hall Of
famers on the same.

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
Year why AM? I it's?

Speaker 5 (01:08:39):
Not it's.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
NOT i mean With Riley leonard playing, there you, know
a couple of years in. Transfer but is it a
transfer as a young it's a young, player is? It
is it a sophomore or?

Speaker 5 (01:08:46):
SOMETHING.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
Cj? Carr that's he's been, there, correct he's a redshirt
fresh there you. Go, Okay so we'll see if they.
Can you, know they leaned on as did both teams
in The National Title, game leaned on veteran transfer. Quarterbacks
and it works For ohio and worked For Notre. Dame
but this, KID i think is a young recruit that's
been there from day, One.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
Jeremiah getting a lot of. Love they're running Back jeremiah.
Love he is considered one of the. Preseasons, yeah runs angry,
too really good football. PLAYER i was talking To Tony
barhard AT Sec Media days and he said that you,
know they get The Dodd trophy goes to the best
coach of the, year And Marcus freeman won it last.
Year and he, said the great thing about the DoD
is we actually go to the, campus we have a big,

(01:09:25):
ceremony we give it to the coach in front of his.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Players, oh that's the best way to do. It, yeah
and they get to celebrate him.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
And in front of family and friends and all. That
AND i, said, MAN i only Met Marcus Freeman, Watson
LIKE i was, like this dude is a, Dude like
he's the full.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
Package, yeah he's real impressive and he impresses you. Immediately
and aside from his presence and all the things that he,
does he's a hell of a football. Coach. Man he
really Has Notre dame at a different. Level and it's
really and, well he Has Notre dame where we Expect
Notre dame to be and they are legit and he
is a he of a good, guy but also disciplined

(01:10:03):
and dialed. In he's really good at his. Gig well
that's WHAT i, had you, know because it's. Weird Brian
kelly gets this negative connotation. NATURALLY i don't know why that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:12):
Is everybody just like loves to hate on, him and
PEOPLE i talked to her are like he was nothing
but awesome At Notre. DAME i mean he he took
them From it's not like they were when eleven games
every year before he got, there, Right so he did
a great. Job but When freeman got that, JOB i, said,
man that's a tough first, gig like you would think
a guy because he had been THE dc At. CINCINNATI
i was thinking something, like maybe he gets A cincinnati,

(01:10:34):
job proved himself for two or three, years and then
he gets.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
In here go like A Luke fickle. Route, yeah obviously
was At cincinnati before when he was a defensive Coordinator
Ohio state went, there got the, gig and then and
now obviously the head coach At. Wisconsin but, yes but
it was a big. Jump, HELL i saw that jump
WHEN i was coming out of high. School Jerry faust
went From Molar High school to The Notre dame head
football coach in a matter of a. Month and so
that's a big jump in the. Expectations you're not just

(01:10:59):
you know. That you, say, man what job would you
wish your dream job that you would like to end
your Career Notre, Dame, oh how about make it your
first head coaching. Gig and what the difference is With
Notre dame in my, opinion aside from his, presence is team.
Speed they're a lot faster than they were and they
were getting their ass kicked by teams a lot faster
than them when we'd play them or when somebody in THE.

(01:11:20):
Sec you could see the. Difference as a matter of,
fact at times we used to joke about them letting
their regular normal grass field when we played let them
grow a little higher when you play a fast. Team
so slow's the. Trackdown and Now Notre dame they've they've
got team speed and they are dialed in and he's
got it going. On and you, know the truth, is
even though there's a huge alumni following for the fighting,
ours they are at a you, know it's a private school,

(01:11:43):
academic but they are at an nil. Disadvantage you'll never
see them in the top ten you know, why and
it still holds true and you, think, well how long
can you do?

Speaker 5 (01:11:52):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
People that's ONE i don't know if there's three of,
them BUT i know that's one of. Them and it's
at the top of the list that people go To Notre,
dame whether It's legacy or people go to not To,
dame that you're gonna get a lot of kids that
you're not gonna have to buy And Notre dame while
at a disadvantage in THE nil not because they don't
have the, money it's just not their their cad the
way they. Work at some point in, TIME i would

(01:12:14):
imagine they've probably had to increase. It but that is
still one of those schools that is still bigger THAN. Nil,
now you may lose some guys along the, way but
the fact in going To Notre, dame it just hits
a little. Different and that's coming from A usc. Guy
my recruiting trip there was like mesmerizing and What Marcus
freeman's got going on. There this team can can. Can

(01:12:35):
this team will be competitive every year because once he
opens his, mouth he's. Impressive, Man yeah he really.

Speaker 4 (01:12:41):
Is he's pretty. Good, yeah so we'll. See but that's you,
know that's the first. WEEK i mean talk About sunday.
Night you get who they, Play Notre dame At. Miami,
oh that'll be.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):

Speaker 5 (01:13:30):
Out?

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
Yeah, YEAH i. Agree i'm anxious to see how they.
Perform there is a lot of the great college there's
always these BECAUSE i think about the same. Thing What's
ryan grubbs impact going to be At Notre. DAME i
meant At, alabama you, know because he's held in such
high regard AND i, know damn well that calin De
boor is thrilled to have him back in college right with.

(01:13:51):
Him so we'll see and there's a lot of those
out there and who's going to do This and you
Mentioned Carson beck And miami can he then he'd give

football and game day and we'll get to see you,
Know Lee corso for his final time, yep on that

(01:14:12):
on week, one and it'll be and back to where
he's been like eighty. Times and that's a that's the
horses of the arch manning error exactly. Right it gonna
be a lot of. Fun alrighty blast when you wrap
a quick, break will come.

Speaker 4 (01:14:23):
BACK i promise you Some texans names who may not
be ready to go, today we'll get.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
You get you that right after, this.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
The Jean Salisbury show.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Continues texans hit in the practice.

Speaker 4 (01:14:36):
Field our Buddy Aaron wilson out of, piece and there's
gonna be a few players that are not going to
start camp. Today and here were some of the. Names
unless he, Says Joe mixon doing. Great he was sidelined
in the spring with an ankle injury was even in
a walking boot at one point in the. Spring he
got hurt during individual offseason. Training texans regarded as likely

(01:14:57):
to ease mixing into practice drills and increases activity gradually
throughout training, camp SO i wouldn't expect to See Joe
mixon doing much.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
Today other.

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
NAMES a veteran offensive Tackle Trent brown was recently medically
cleared to resume football. Activities Running Back damian piercemith's time
in the spring with a minor strained. Quad he has
recovered from that, injury so we'll see if he's out.
There rookie wide Receiver Jalen, noel a third round pick
From Iowa, State he missed time during mini camp with

(01:15:28):
a minor strain. Hamstring he has made a full recovery
and he is expected ready to go. Today Denico audrey
expected to be eased into camp, workouts missing time in
the spring with a knee. Injury Brevan, jordan coming off
that acl he's been making, progress is expected to be eased,
in And Tank dell will not be practicing or playing
for a long time as he continues from that dislocated.

(01:15:50):
Knee one More Jimmy ward under what off season foot
surgery is not clear to.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
Resume, practicing so don't expect him out.

Speaker 4 (01:15:57):
There so a couple of guys kind of coming off
off season, stuff they're, like, yeah we'll ease them, in
and that's.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
OKAY i, mean even though training camp is shorter and
there's a little more urgency and we probably need more
training camp in THE, Nfl so people aren't coming out
and playing sloppy football in the first couple of, weeks which,
happens and defenses are always ahead of offenses early in the.
Season but getting to The Joe mixon, part who's an
impact player? Here AND i don't usually say this about, Players,

(01:16:23):
GORDY i don't care if mix and practice as much
in the at that position of ve trend. Yess matter of,
fact you get to a point where you're, LIKE i
don't really need him to. PRACTICE i need his fresh
legs On sunday and now to be able to Get
Nick chubb to take that off him and get that
guy who runs angry and. HARD i, do And, GORDON
i don't know how you, feel but if they're both,

(01:16:43):
RIGHT i think this is the best one to two
punch in. FOOTBALL i do at that, position name me.
One this got a because When chubb is, Right chubb's nobody's.
Backup this guy is a starting running back in this
league and runs. Art, now you saw his workouts in the.
Offseason he looked like he was in beast mode in
the offseason Ray, Roll so this gives you that. Luxury,
now don't misunderstand. ME i Think damian. Pierces But Damian

(01:17:05):
pierce is more now of a return guy and a
spot guy that gets you in there late with a
change up. Pitch and that, agreed and it gives you
a little bit of a. Comfort but the truth of
the matter is you are far better With Nick chubb
in the backfield right. NOW a veteran knows who to,
block understands what trying to get, done And pierce gives
you some return. Game but if you told me mixing

(01:17:27):
in order to have him read he was only going
to play practice twice in training camp and they were
just doing it because he didn't want him drag to
the ground or get. Hurt i'm okay with. It that's
the one. Position those guys are so good and a
guy that's been in the, LEAGUE i need fresh. Legs
would you would you Practice Derrick henry a bunch In. Baltimore,
no he, wouldn't matter of, fact on a. Show, yeah

(01:17:47):
on two, days he wouldn't Even first of, all he'd
never take a snap in the in a preseason. Game
and during two, days he'd practice one day and he'd
be in in shorts and A t. Shirt the next
practice he ain't. TOUCHING i don't need. That and so those,
backs that's the one. POSITION i never have a problem
with a guy missing, practice especially if he's, posted and
And Joe mixon, Posts i'm not worried about. That the

(01:18:08):
least of my concerns Is joe mix and being ready to.

Speaker 4 (01:18:11):
GO i am expecting to see a lot throughout training
camp of number twenty, seven rookie running back who started
his career for four years At Mississippi state and then
spent last year at your albuma MATER, Usc Woody marks
also known As Juquavius, marks.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
Did really good stuff AT usc as. Well, yeah and
he will Get he actually may end up getting more
carries than anybody on this team in a preseason because
you're not going to Give chubb And mixing a steady
Diet Hwar, jordan the rookie out Of. Louisville yet it'll
be guys that are. Trying you're trying to figure out

(01:18:49):
can they make this team as a guy running down
on special teams in the return, game but also as
your guy depending on the future With Damian pearson and
adding to the, room and you're gonna get a lot of.
WORK i wouldn't expect to see Much Nick chubb And
Joe mixon in games throughout, preseason nor DO i need
to what he marks all like a. Lot he never was.

Speaker 4 (01:19:08):
Hard he had a three hundred yards as a, freshman
four hundred as a, sophomore five hundred as a as a,
junior and then a little over five hundred as a
senior at In Mississippi, state and then last year as
a super senior AT usc it was when he really broke.
Out over eleven hundred rushing yards average five point seven
yards of.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
Carry he ended up being a bellcal FOR us last. Year,
yeah but what he.

Speaker 4 (01:19:30):
Did he was A Mike leech recruit At Misissippi, state
and the way he was able to find his way
on the field as a true freshman was he was
a good pass catcher, too and That Mike leach offense
you had to be able to bust out.

Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
And understand the passing.

Speaker 4 (01:19:43):
Game, yes and he had almost three hundred yards receiving
as freshman, year five hundred yards receiving as a as a.
Sophomore so this is a great pass catching back as, well.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Which to me does Not that's WHY i always SAY
i Want mixing more involved in a passing game because
he can. It just when you he's the. Bandwidth it
puts so much pressure on a defense and normally we're
not talking in college now about a back coming out and,
man a strength is a pass catcher out of the
backfield because you're so used to spread and getting the
ball to slot. Receivers that is a tremendous advantage on

(01:20:15):
his ability not only to make the team but stay
in the. League you got to know who to, block
and you got to be able to catch balls out
of the backfield because he's not at the stage where
he's going to run the ball thirty times a. Game
and that'll be invaluable to use him if he goes
like we expect and that he's able to come in and, say,
hey it's third and, four you're gonna run an option.
Route you know that he can close and he did
a great job not only Under, mike but in the passing.

(01:20:37):
Game and the understanding a route tree in the passing
game so. Important a lot of young guys don't get
it because they spent more time taking it from the quarterback.
Directly it's kind of nice that you've got a guy like.
That And marx has been a great pass catcher and
that was a premium In Mike leach's.

Speaker 4 (01:20:49):
Offense so tell me if this was A Mike leach
offense number for run a back in twenty twenty, one
he had one hundred and six carries eighty three.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Receptions mike's philosophy that that bottom line is all's that
running game is are that passing game when you get
a back involved and wheel routes and option routes and
swing routes and, checkdowns it's just an extension of the run.
Game and that's that's nice because we're we're not at
a time when a back's catching eighty to eighty five
balls in a game. Normally But Mike leach's offense and

(01:21:19):
that type of, spread the back does come because he
ends up being matched up on a linebacker and if
he understands the. Concepts you're gonna get a lot of.
Balls and they like to play horizontal football, too in
those type. OFFENSES i just like him a, Lot So
i'm Excited big Fam. Wood he.

Speaker 4 (01:21:32):
Marks they they GOT Jj taylor, still they got Dari Oga,
mawale so they got a ton of.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
Backs they don't Need Joe mixon out. There but that's
really the only.

Speaker 5 (01:21:40):
NAME i.

Speaker 4 (01:21:40):
Mean, LOOK i want to see the receivers and the
Two Iowa state kids and how they stand Out noel
and And. Higgins but you, Know Christian kirk another new
piece in, here and how they all quickly developed that
chemistry with. C. J stroud and you know it's it's
those anticipatory Throws Nico collins went when, releases he knows

(01:22:01):
Where nico's gonna. Be it's those other guys in developing
at timing.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
Together i'm keeping a close eye on the continuity of
an offensive line and how nasty they are this. Year
they say they want to be nasty or now it's
time to post and let's see what they. Got our
number one in the books and return hour number.

Speaker 4 (01:22:15):

Here and these next would you say they have seven at,
home seven game homestead, started and It's oakland And thursday And. Washington,
yeah if they you got to go five and two at,
least right you have.

Speaker 9 (01:26:23):
To.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
YEAH i, mean it's just funny they. Play it seems
like they play down to the the. Lesser it feels
like it's been that way for a couple of years.
Now so this is the, time and LIKE i, said,
well there may be dog days we are in for
them that the stretch has to continue quicker because of
all the. Injuries they've got to continue to work the
distance themselves just in, case you, know we didn't Anticipate

(01:26:45):
lance mccullor's missing fifteen days because of a blister on his.
Finger you. DIDN'T i, mean that's one of you just
don't anticipate. Happening so here you, are and so, yeah
it's it's going to be this is a huge month
coming forth In, august but it's really really take care
of your business. Today get home and dominate both of
those teams because the road, trip even though The marlins

(01:27:05):
is not going to be a difficult, one it sounds
between when you got to deal With boston and who
else did you?

Speaker 5 (01:27:10):
Say?

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Yankees? Soon you Know baltimore's got potential when you come,
back and then you get The Red sox in two
different at home and away right and on the way,
first then come back here and play. Them so it'd
be nice to distance yourself or at least post your
five and two or six and one and kick ass
at home and you'll run into a little bit tougher
task on the. Road but you want to make sure

(01:27:32):
that you beat the. TEAMS i don't care if they
beat them two to, one, well the optics may not look.
Good get those wins, posted because you go on the,
road it'll get tougher and when they get, Back, gordy
we're looking at you, know this home stand and go
on the. Road now you're what inside forty, games you,
KNOW i mean you, KNOW i mean inside fifty, games
somewhere in the forty fifty. Games so now the stretch run,
continues and that'll be here before you know. It aside from,

(01:27:54):
that then getting right In august with health and then
making those, decisions but trade deadline right around the corner
going to be something to. Happen and that's Next. THURSDAY
i think at four O'clock, central sixty one games remain.
There we got so seven here takes the end of the. Fifties,
hell by the time you get, home you'll be inside
of you you'll be in the. Forties, yeah so you.
Are and then it's just now it's a sprint to

(01:28:15):
it's the eight hundred meter you, know the eight hundred
meter race where it's kind of a, sprint but you're
legging it. Out and that's where they are. Now AND
i got to tell, YOU i love the last week
of the.

Speaker 4 (01:28:24):
Season you're out on The West coast three against The
a's out And sacramento three against The angels. Out In,
anaheim and both those teams, stink so you should you
have an opportunity there to rack up some. Wins if
this thing is close With, seattle if it's if they
were within two or three, games you should be able
to take care of business in that last.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
One and the last movie we saw when that happened to,
Them gordy was two years. Ago but the two teams
they were playing were. Better they had to go To
seattle and, win and they had to go To arizona
and they won the tiebreaker on what the last day
of the, year, right and that's The Arizona diamondbacks in
up in The World. Series they took care of their.
Business now when you'd like to hope there's a little
more leeway where you can afford a loss or to

(01:29:06):
or afford a series loss and still win the. Division but,
yes if you were pressed and it was like one of,
those you're only a game in. Front those are pretty
too good draws late in the season for The. Astros
yet you'd like to hope that those aren't going to
decide the.

Speaker 4 (01:29:19):
Division The mariners close the season at home three Against.
Colorado that's, sure that should be three and, All but
then three against The, dodgers and the question will be
what are The dodgers looking at that? Point are they
in a tight race for the? Division are they trying
to lock up home? Field because there could be a
world where they're rest in, everybody but there could also
be a world where they're still playing for.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
Something, yeah and in a very tough. Division and quite,
frankly right, now they they're they're reeling a little. Bit yeah.
Right they just got swept By milwaukee, too so they
may for in, truth for our, Sake, gordy you hope
The dodgers are in competitive mode that they don't have
a ten game lead at that point in, time so
they have to play their guys and get In so

(01:30:00):
BUT i don't think The padres are going Away. Arizona
like we, said it's playing better depending on if they're
a buy or sell at the trade. Deadline and Then
San francisco always looms to give you a little. Trouble so,
yeah Advantage seattle if it when, IT i mean Advantage
astros because of The. Dodgers but hopefully The dodgers will
be in competitive mode when it does.

Speaker 4 (01:30:17):
Happen dodgers are a game and a half out of
best record in The American. League The cubs And burrs
tied with the best record in The National, league and
The phillies are just half a game behind The. Dodgers,
so in other, words if it if it's looking like
that going into the last, series.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
They're going to, play that's exactly. Right and considering all
the expectations for The dodgers this, year there was TALK
i talked to a couple, said, yeah, man you know
there's a chance they can have ye, YEAH i, mean
that's exactly. Right and it's, like, well it's not so.
Fast that's the other guys are getting paid, too and they've.
Struggled and one thing for The dodgers is they've had

(01:30:53):
to scramble around pitching staff wise as, well because they've
had a ton of, injuries and they are in the
market for a bit time closer here at the trade.
Deadline we'll see if they pull that.

Speaker 4 (01:31:02):
OFF i did want to note next when or Next,
monday The nationals come to. Town my my Buddy Matt
piscon is coming to town with THE lsu alumni. Group
they're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:31:13):
Well they're doing to think at The rustic, Right.

Speaker 4 (01:31:15):
Yeah and they're gonna be doing a watch party because
or they're going to watch the, game rather Because Dylan
cruz PLAYED.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Lsu he's with The.

Speaker 4 (01:31:22):
Nationals but they would Do they would do this every
year and it was a cool time Because bregman was An. Astro,
Well bregman, gone we don't have a FREAKING lsu, guys
So Ethan. Fry they just Drafted. ETHAN i need you
to be, awesome. BUDDY i need you to be up.

Speaker 2 (01:31:33):
Here next, year no doubt about. It you got to
KEEP lsu guys in the fold when it comes to The.

Speaker 4 (01:31:39):
Astros but it made me think last summer they did
this When Paul skeins came to. Town, right it Was
skeens Versus. Bregman it WAS lsu VERSUS. Lsu BUT i
saw this, Statuation. Sean Paul skeens has made forty four
career starts so. Far so, far he is sixteen and
eleven is his. Record so only has sixteen wins and
forty four career. Starts if The pirates had given him

(01:32:01):
in all these, starts he's made just three runs of.
Support three, runs it's all he. Needs he would have
a record of twenty six and.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
Four right when you said the. STATISTICS i would say
those are misleading because the guy will strike out, ten
throw a three hitter and get beat one to. Nothing,
yeah it is with me four, runs he would be
twenty nine and. One key. Stupid, yeah think about, that

(01:32:29):
twenty nine and, one and in, truth who's leading the league?
Runs what's the round of? Five? WHO i don't Have,
dodgers whoever is or is it the Brew whoever's leading
the league and runs? Scored, yeah that's not so far.
Fetched now far fetched is twenty nine and, One but
far fetched to get you three and a half to
four runs a game that ain't asking much the. Problem
he just happens to be on a team that ain't

(01:32:49):
spending money and they are not very.

Speaker 4 (01:32:51):
Good dodgers lead baseball five hundred and forty two. Runs
if he was A, dodger he would be literally being towed.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
In twenty seven and. Three, yes he's having one of those.
Seas it, is, dude and he hasn't even been in
the league two full. Years, yeah it's it's pretty scary
what he's. About and also he's already. Started he's been
in the league less than two. Years it started Two
All Star, Games so it's good to Be Paul skins right.
Now it makes you just can't get any help on
the offensive. Side it makes me think of guys Like Royo's,

(01:33:19):
wall you, know like that that.

Speaker 4 (01:33:22):
Guy how many times he lost one to nothing or
two to. One fuck, right, guys get me a little
bit of run support, here.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
Like when De gram was in The, mets and win
like eleven games and win the Cy young because YOUR
era is like one point one to. Two yet you
guys are scoring at a one point one o clip
and you're getting beat and all the arm troubles and
the rest of, it and you're still winning Cy. Young's.
Yeah The Paul skeins is he's not just a. Dude
he is strongly becoming and fastly becoming quickly that. Guy, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:33:53):
Dude in his sixteen career, wins he has a one
to eleven. Era in his twenty eight non wins a
two forty three all, right which which will put you
where will?

Speaker 10 (01:34:03):
It?

Speaker 2 (01:34:03):
Will it? Be right around leading the? League? Two if
you're two forty, three has you somewhere near the top
of the league and not getting any. Help but the guy, is,
yeah he's filthy as good as we thought he was
gonna Be. Gordy he's even better than you thought when
he LEFT. Lsu this is stuff that a guy that's
been in the league five, six seven years of doing
the guy doesn't even know how to pitch. Yet AND

(01:34:25):
i mean, that you, Know i'm obviously, kidding But wadal
he actually, learns learns hitters and is in the league
three or four years and can stay. Healthy, yeah he's
almost every time he goes, out you think you can
throw no. Hitter it's pretty.

Speaker 4 (01:34:35):
Impressive when we return here On Shawn salisburg showill recap
a little bit last night for you and get back
in a little bit of astros. Talk Omarvis skel joined
us in fifteen minutes right here on seven Ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
The Shawn Salisbury show. Continues and, no, no, no you,
know just like you don't want to do it to
a pinball, machine you don't want to don't tilt that
thing a.

Speaker 4 (01:34:58):
HODOWN i think people outside in a circle all clapping, rhythmically.

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
Well some, people depending on where you're from and the
thought process and where your mind, is a hoe, down
maybe something else completely. Different, yeah, yeah. Holdown oh, Yeah
i've been to a few of. Those oh you mean
country what, no just a few hodowns in. College, yeah
those TWO A.

Speaker 4 (01:35:22):
Woman of the night overdoses it's a. HODEL i just
saw this come. ACROSS espn is reportedly nearing a deal
to potentially ACQUIRE Nfl network And Red. Zone with the
twenty twenty FIVE nfl season and the launch of ESPN's
direct to consumer streaming service both, approaching the two entities

(01:35:43):
find themselves on the verge of a major. Deal according
To Athletics andrew MARCHAND espn AND nfl are quote inside
the five yard line on their ongoing, negotiations which would
see the worldwide leader acquire a significant portion OF nfl,
media including The Red zone channel AND Nfl.

Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
Network so pretty, uh pretty. Interesting so they want to
buy the entire network of THE nfl. Network If i'm
THE nfl network doing, it especially That Red zone, Concept,
Yeah i'm holding out for a lot of good Money
martians trying to court in the. Market it will be
the enormous amount of.

Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
Money it's unclear how, much but recent reports have VALUED Nfl,
media which INCLUDES Nfl network And Red, zone at two
billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
Billion, yeah and that that might even be on the low.
Side if it was a bidding. WAR i don't know
if ESPN's bidding against, himself but that's that's, hefty And
i'm sure now that's a great that that's a great
uh that theb FOR. Espn for anybody to acquire, that
that is, Huge, gordy even at a two billion dollar. Count,

(01:36:49):
yeah that's. Big, WELL I i, mean, like, LOOK i
find MYSELF i used to having the.

Speaker 4 (01:36:53):
Portfolio On, SUNDAYS i will put ON i put on
The Red zone. CHANNEL i mean it's you're getting all the.
Action IT'S i, mean it's great for. Fantasy but even
if you don't do, fantasy you're seeing all the big
scoring plays and the important plays that are happening around the.
League so you really don't need The sunday ticket if
you're just interested in the.

Speaker 2 (01:37:10):
Action that is a. Phenomenal to acquire that in it is.
Huge so if they're on the five yard, line they're
going to get in because then even if you have
to overpay for, IT i think YOUR roi on that
investment if YOU'RE espn smart and you want to they've
kind of backed off of baseball quite a, Bit. Gordy
you know What i'm. Saying they, have MEANING espn they

(01:37:30):
don't cover it like they used to anyone near, it
but they're push for more, football more, football more, football
and getting THE nfl network and The Red zone would
be a as. Well maybe since They're disney, purchase right
or Since disney PURCHASED, espn this is in that, category
especially when the acquirement's going to be two billion or.
More that's, big, huge and The Red zone channels one

(01:37:53):
of the great TECHNICAL i mean great for us as.
Viewers it's been awesome for us to be able to
see you missing a good play if you got THE nfl.
Networks Scott hanson stole the, ONE i think, so, Yeah
i'm pretty. Sure let's check in In cleveland as The
browns have a first and. Goal you know what. Happens
if he's got to go to the, Restroom he's he's hosed.
It just got to pee in a cup underneath the

(01:38:15):
desk and see the other dude with the big. Ears, yeah,
yep he was the first. Guy he was the opening
guy who did. IT i think would have first. STARTED
i got to think though they're going to incorporate some
of THE espn talent into, this that they buy, IT
i would think that's a big, two and you know
who will be on. It please don't Say, Stone yes he. Will,
yeah if you're paying him twenty plus million, laire.

Speaker 5 (01:38:34):
You're pu In.

Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
Dallas His dak's got a fourth at. Sixteen it'll be
the first time THAT nfl network on The Red zone
channel has a host and an, analyst and it'll be STEVEN.
A smith sitting next to whoever terrible pass BY. DAK

if they get, This you're you're not gonna it won't
just be one body DOING Nfl Red. Zone and you
AND i both know, it and we know if it

Speaker 4 (01:39:39):

going to put on that on that?

Speaker 2 (01:39:46):
Desk? Please steve what, well we're, good go Do go. DO,
nba you're gonna have to beg a little harder than

Because you mean how we cover it and see.

Speaker 4 (01:40:24):
It, well, yeah like streaming and all this because remember
it was five years ago was hard to find. STUFF
i think even now like grandma And grandpa know how
to pull Up Amazon's prime Or netflix and find the games.
Now so it's we went from OH i can't Find
i'm just not gonna watch it to now most people are,
like you know, what it's super.

Speaker 2 (01:40:41):
Easy it's all my SMART. TV i just pulled it
up a couple. Buttons i'm good to, Go. Glordy the
key here is when are we gonna have to pay
for The Super bowl that they they're saying that's on the. Horizon,
yep my. GOD i mean now you do the. Math
what do we? Get how many? People one hundred and
thirty hundred and forty million? People, yeah let's just say
one hundred and thirty million. People now you take that
and they'll charge. You are you paying one hundred and

(01:41:03):
ninety nine dollars for it or a hundred? Dollars of
course you? Are who is? It or you're having a
you're going to a Buddies that is, WELL i don't

every single person that watches is. Good of those one
hundred and twenty five, million twenty five people are at one.

Speaker 2 (01:47:45):
It Omarvis skale eleven Time Gold Gold Gold glove, Winner
All star and twenty four year career In Major league,
baseball joins us here On Sports talk seven Ninety, omar
how do you feel about the overall state Of Major
League baseball right? Now you, know rule, changes competition, specialization you,
know the home run, swings guys pitching five and the third.

(01:48:07):
Innings and you were kind of around you've seen both
eras you. Were you had a long enough career to
see some old school baseball and now you've been around
long enough to see the new changes that we. Have
where is the state Of Major league baseball in your? Mind,
well it is.

Speaker 9 (01:48:24):
It is kind of. Different you. KNOW i have to
tell you that some of the things THAT i see ON,
tv you, know is kind of.

Speaker 12 (01:48:31):
Weird we we are not used to see this kind
of evolution of the, game you, know in a long
time we have been playing the.

Speaker 9 (01:48:40):
Game, uh a little more, CONSERVATIVE i would.

Speaker 12 (01:48:44):
Say and now with all these evolution rules and things
that that baseball has brought in, here there has been
a lot of, UH i will, say talk about about
where the game is heading. To no doubt that you
feel strange on some of, this BUT i think the
new people that is coming into the.

Speaker 9 (01:49:05):
Game when you bring a family into the. Game you
were expecting to.

Speaker 12 (01:49:09):
See these, changes and according to, percentages all these statistic.

Speaker 9 (01:49:18):
That we see on, papers it seems like it's.

Speaker 12 (01:49:21):
Working SO mlb should be feeling happy about you, know
accoding the time of the game and their family enjoying the.
Game you, know they're trying to bring a different attitude to,
baseball AND i think they has been accomplished. That, obviously
for the, players it's a little bit difficult to ascet because.

Speaker 9 (01:49:40):
We have been playing the game on a different.

Speaker 12 (01:49:42):
Way but right NOW i think everybody is getting used
to the rules and everything that is going on inside the.

Speaker 2 (01:49:49):
Lines om are you seeing what dynasties look like through
the course of time right here In houston and you're.
Familiar you mentioned Jose A l two a countrymen for
you as well In. Venezuela is it safe to say
that we now look at The astros as a dominant
team and a team that can. Continue AND i don't
know if dynasty means you gotta win three championships in

(01:50:10):
five years or whatever in, baseball but in the last
decade they've built something pretty special. Here do you believe
there's still A World series team even with all these?
INJURIES i.

Speaker 12 (01:50:20):
Believe, so you, know last year when they start talking
about Getting bregnant out of the team and Getting talker
out of the, team it.

Speaker 9 (01:50:27):
Was kind of sad for me because those guys.

Speaker 12 (01:50:32):
Put together that team around around them and they feel
like they were part of that dynasty for a long.
Time my question was The Houston astros were gonna go
to continue to win and be part of these playoff.

Speaker 9 (01:50:46):
Games and word.

Speaker 12 (01:50:47):
Series and it seems like they is working. Great you,
know it's too bad to see those guys. Go But
parred has been producing very. Good Ken smith came in
and you, know he's been playing. Great right on the
lineup that they, have he has been. Amazing they're playing
some solid. Baseball it looks like the team is heading
into the right. Direction Hunter brown about, this are doing

(01:51:10):
the thing in the, mound and you, know the bullpen.

Speaker 9 (01:51:12):
Has been very.

Speaker 12 (01:51:13):
Good so you, know they have a pretty good chance
to go all away one more. Time AND i think
the team is he hasn't really changed their. Face you,
KNOW i still have those guys that you can, Say,
wow The Houston astros are getting into the playoff. Again
so you, Know i'm happy that they're winning.

Speaker 9 (01:51:35):
Games are they getting that. Back they're winning attitude.

Speaker 2 (01:51:38):
Back that's a. VOICE a twenty four year career Pro
Omar viscale eleven Time Gold glove winner joints us here
for a couple more, minutes you can go To Omar
viscale thirteen dot com and see all the great things
he's doing with teaching kids and clinics and baseball and his.
Impact Hight, Omar let's have a little bit of fun.
Here one is you're at the, plate it's the bottom

(01:52:00):
of the, night then you need a? Hit is The
who's the one pitcher in your career you did not
want to? See who would that guy have?

Speaker 12 (01:52:06):
BEEN i did not want to See Pedro. MARTINEZ i
Think pedro has. Been, wow one of the most exciting
pitchers in, baseball not only because he got all the
oldest staff of the carters and fast balls and sliders
and breaking.

Speaker 9 (01:52:22):
Balls he was so. Smart you, know just the.

Speaker 12 (01:52:24):
Way that he looked at you when you get into the.
Box it's a picture THAT i really enjoy. Facing it
was more than.

Speaker 9 (01:52:32):
A challenge to get a hit of.

Speaker 12 (01:52:33):
Him it was a war of looks and, intimidation so you,
know it was one of my favorite pitchers to see.

Speaker 2 (01:52:40):
And in twenty four, years that's a hell of a
long career that most people don't even. Sniff so you
saw a lot of great, players had a lot of great.
Teammates who's the best player of all the teammates you've ever.

Speaker 9 (01:52:51):
HAD i Think Kean Griffy.

Speaker 12 (01:52:54):
JUNIOR i break in With Ken Griffy junior in nineteen
eighty nine when we both make the debut In oakland.

Speaker 9 (01:53:02):
And kenny was twenty years, OLD i was twenty.

Speaker 12 (01:53:06):
One we both came from the minor leagues together and
we made The Seattle mariners, team and you, KNOW i
See kenny developed in a way that transformed the. Game
he was kind of like the Very bonds of the
of the. Nineties and it's so excited to play with
both of, them actually because THEN i end up playing
With berry In San. Francisco But kenny always was one

(01:53:29):
of my favorite, players just because of the way that
we grew up.

Speaker 2 (01:53:32):
Together what IF i, said what's your if your? Career,
wise IF i said give me one goal moving forward
that if you could have any job in baseball or
outside of, baseball what would it?

Speaker 9 (01:53:42):
Be well outside of, baseball you, said.

Speaker 2 (01:53:46):
Either in or if IF i, said your one career
goal that you would love to, accomplish what is.

Speaker 9 (01:53:51):
IT i would have loved to manage a major league.
TEAM i think that was one of my.

Speaker 12 (01:53:57):
Goals WHEN i, retire you, know, well things didn't go my,
way But i'm so excited THAT i was part of
that of that spore for a long, time and everything
THAT i, LEARNED i have to give back to. Baseball
and now that's why we give it back to the
kids and the, communities because it's a world that is.

Dana brown in about forty minutes right here on The

(01:57:45):
Sean Salisbury.

Speaker 1 (01:57:46):
Show Lor Sean salisbury On Sports talk seven ninety Where
astros And rockets play and Real texans.

Speaker 2 (01:57:56):
Talk, well he'd on the home run record If griffy
wasn't and not an ounce of question about whether he
was juiceing or, not and the obvious part that he
wasn't well as sweetest swing as we've ever. Had But Omar,
viscale when you mentioned great shortstops defensively Like Ozzie smith
and guys who consistently win gold, gloves he's a multiple

(01:58:20):
gold glove winner and double digits and pretty. Impressive so
Omarvis scale thirteen dot com right nine o'clock, hours just
Ahead Chris cordy on his way To texans. Practice they,
open we'll discuss The texans spends a good amount of
the next hour discussing what we should expect from. Them,
Also astros win last, night going to you, know take

(01:58:43):
care of that. Series obviously win the. Series they played
a day in a day game and then on their
way back here to face The Oakland A's lance mccullors
fifteen day il blister on his. Finger then the hits
just keep on. Coming but there is good. News and
we'll talk To Dana brown in about thirty minutes or
so about the injury. Report it seems like we always

(01:59:04):
got to talk about the mash. Unit that is The,
astros but they're also in first place still after all,
this and now it looks like you're getting a little
help from friends coming down the pipeline From DOUBLE a
And TRIPLE, a hopefully sooner than. Later seven three two
one two five seven. Ninety my question leading into the

(01:59:24):
nine o'clock hour is simply, This can The texans play
for home field advantage throughout the? PLAYOFFS i think the
division's the worst in, football AND i think The texans are,
clearly by a wide, margin the. Best, sure you got
to be a little, lucky But i'm not so sure

(01:59:45):
that you couldn't take load management for a month and
still win this. Division to use a baseball, term your
calls seven one three two on two five seven ninety are.
Expectations i'm as high on This texans team as long
as the offensive line is better That i've been since
they well since Then stamko's been the, coach and in
quite some time you should be two calls next and

(02:00:07):
we will discuss The texans and twenty twenty. Five are
they clearly the best team in this? Division and where
do they rank when you're talking To baltimore's And Kansas.
City's that's Next Sports talk seven Ninety Dana brown in

Dan, matthews this is The Sewan Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (02:01:20):
Show Ozzy osborne passing away and rocked the music, world
and quite, FRANKLY i think just about everybody it feels
like it hits too close to, home doesn't. It so
we'll give some dedication throughout the throughout the, week and
we'll probably more than likely we're never gonna have anybody

(02:01:42):
like him. Again and maybe we say that a lot
about some of our musicians but or, actors but uh
true and. UNIQUE i, no and that that's probably an
understatement for. Him Uh seattle five games back, Now uh
they win last, night but so did The. Astros astro
is going to take this series From arizona day game,
today Then oakland and then a chance to take care

(02:02:06):
of your business at home for what's seven, games and
then In washington and then you're on the road where
it gets a little more, difficult but a chance to
distance yourself and then hope That august gets here and
you get guys Like arraghetty AND, Jp france And garcia And,
javier three of them In, Spencer arraghetty And france And.
Garcia all you Know Corpus christi Headed so, man they're

(02:02:30):
getting some rehab and DOUBLE. A and Then javier From
Corpus christi is supposed to be destined now For. Sugarland
so taking that, upgrade which means he's. Closer, boy is
that forearms that you could use and still waiting on
obviously the pain of the, parades The Alvarez meyers. Information,
hell you can Get dane on and just, say, hey

(02:02:50):
let's just talk doctor's report from from the, start and
probably not a bad idea considering we get to see
Those astros games with our own, eyes but it's always
a great perspective getting it From Dana. Brown while we
have this, now let's let discuss a little football with
the opening of training, camp WHICH, I gordy AND i
had discussed. Earlier gordi is on his way to training camp.
Today he'll be back in the studio. Tomorrow Dan matthews

(02:03:11):
on vacation a country club And dan Country club At
All Star game AND sec media it is now on
vacation At Orange. Beach good to be, him but you
know deserves a vacation, too don't we? All and good On,
Dan so we got you and me seven, one, three
two and two five seven. Ninety but it is imperative
we talk and. Important we talk about These texans AND

(02:03:32):
I i am convinced And i'm not hyperbolic when it
comes to. This i'm usually a little bit MORE i
don't want to say, guarded but PROBABLY i like to
think air on the side of more conservative when it
comes to wins and losses and HOW i see a,
team just because training camps are shorter for. EVERYBODY i
want to see how they come, out how injuries come
out through the, preseason how you approach. It you, know

(02:03:54):
at all those things to go. On if you're In
dallas or you're In, cincinnati you're dealing with the sidebar
of to of your best, players meaning In dallas And
cincinnati on the defensive side looking for pay. Raises The
texans don't have any of. That there's some guys that
are missing some practice time because of either rehabbing injuries
or not quite ready A Joe mixon who you're not
going to wear out in the preseason. Anyway Nick chubb

(02:04:16):
a part of. IT i think it's the deepest running
back tandem and football and the best if they're both.
Healthy Nick chubb's a starter in the. League but, man
what a good gig to, have AND i think it'll
be an important. Position but SO i air on the
side when they go through wins and. Losses you, KNOW
i always air on the side of, okay be a
little more. Conservative this is probably the first, time And

(02:04:38):
i'm including When watson and O'Brien the group Since i've
lived in this town and paying attention pretty damn closely
to not only The texans but to, football IS i
think that they're a stone cold. Lock Now i'm not
trying to you, know when you put this on, people it's,
like Don't it's like when somebody's got a no hitter
through three innings and we start talking about, it it's
a no. No as the game goes, on maybe it's

(02:04:59):
a no. Noble we all do our what if and
our predictions and go through the. Schedule i'm not even
talking about. That the schedule's not in front of. ME i,
know you play your division people twice and then you're
all the other. Games and we've discussed that when we
went through when the schedule came, OUT i don't care
who they. PLAY i don't because everybody's playing the other.
Teams AND i really don't care who's got a tougher.
Schedule who doesn't Because i've seen a thousand times when

(02:05:23):
AT T, wow they're playing a tough, schedule and the
teams that were good the year before worse the. First
the teams that were good the year, before some of
them may not be as good this year because they
may have, injuries they may add an, offseason they may have,
traded somebody lost a free. Agent so regardless of, THAT
i don't get into all that you got to play,
Them so to, me in. Truth if you're a good
team and you play good, teams you beat good, teams

(02:05:45):
you're not going to get it where you roll through seventeen,
games and in those seventeen, games you're playing teams you
can kick their ass every. Week it's a hard. League
it's hard to. Win But i've never been more optimistic
about not only a. Division and it's not good enough
now for The texans just to win the. Division hell
what O'Brien win four of them when he was the head.
Coach dimico's been doing this two years here and they've

(02:06:06):
two years of winning, them SO i know they got.
That now you're at the, level not at The astros
because they've been to and One World, series but you
are now at that level where. Playoffs while that's the,
goal to win the divisions the first. Goal it's like
in college football WHEN i was playing, it as he
was always Beat Notre, dame BEAT, ucla win the, conference

(02:06:28):
be the at that, time pack ten. Champions now well
it used to be The pac. Twelve but be the
champions and then let's go win a national. Championship and
it was just just you got to knock them in
order to get to. One you got to get to the.
Other in order to get to the, other you got
to get to you got to knock that one down.
Previous so we know the. Goal but the goal for
this team isn't just to get, in because in my,
mind this team just gets in and loses in the

(02:06:49):
first round of the divisional round or even in the
wild card, round if that's what it was to, me
a disappointing, season not a. Failure. Disappointment but you tell
me why this team is, clearly AND i. LISTEN i
grew up A raider, fan so you know that this.
IS i don't do The homer, thing BUT i know
WHAT i see WHEN i see, it AND i can

(02:07:10):
tell you. This there's not a lot of glaring weaknesses
on this. Team there just. Isn't when you start to
think about a team that was able, to let you,
know Let digs walk after redoing his, contract signing him
to a one year deal and only getting in for
basically half a, season losing tank tell you, think, man
that position should be. Weekly you draft a couple guys

(02:07:31):
that did out of. College you Got Nico, collins WHO
i know people aren't talking about him like He's Jamar
chase or he's, like you, Know jefferson or that, GROUP
i got news for. You he may not be in
that group just. Yet in the first four or five,
guys he's knocking on their door and he. Is he
is sitting right there ready to get in when you
open it that he may kick the damn thing, open

(02:07:52):
because he's as physical as any of. Them find. Me,
now let's sands the offensive. Line we'll get to them
in a. Second they're better at everything then everybody else
is in the division at their everything other than at
least on. Paper going in possibly the offensive line Now tunsil,
out there's SOME i think THERE'S i don't know if

(02:08:14):
anxiety is the right. Word but from us as, fans
who are? They are they? Nasty? Meaning are they going
to punch? YOU i, mean are they gonna you stand
around a pile or you hit a player? Later are
they gonna come get? You that's the type offensive LINEMAN i.
Like are they technically? Sound are they going to be
better taught as they're? Buying, well we get rid of
the just getting rid of pre snap penalties already gives

(02:08:34):
you probably a win or two more because it's hard
to play at first and fifteen and second and eighteen
because you jumping off sides all the. Time SO i
didn't trust them offensive, line and quite frank the last
a couple of, YEARS i haven't trusted them because every
time you turn, around can't have the quarterback on his,
back or you can't if you can't move a pile
and you're killing yourself with. Penalties not. Good and this

(02:08:56):
team's offensive line when it comes to nasty and choking people,
out has been just average at. It they've pillow fought
more than they fist. Fought this is going to be.
DIFFERENT i believe.

Speaker 5 (02:09:06):
IT i.

Speaker 2 (02:09:07):
Do, now are they going to be The Philadelphia eagles
offensive line or fortunate WHEN i was In minnesota and
we had Two hall Of, Famers probably. Not but if
you can get five guys that stay healthy and that
they have continuity there and they're just, SOLID i can
win with. That because you tell me any team in
this division who's got a better running? Game, nobody you,

(02:09:29):
Know i'm talking About jacksonville of The, Texans tennessee and The,
colts who's got a better running? Game depth was nobody
whose quarterbacks? Better it's not. Close Cam ward's a ways
away should be pretty. Special like, him but he's On,
tennessee not a lot of, weapons and he's a, rookie
and at least When stroud came here had. Players i'm

(02:09:49):
not sure they got enough players for him to accentuate
what he. Does but Cam ward will be a good.
Player talk to me in two years in the division
will be closer The. Colts they're still trying to figure
out who the quarterback is going to. Be Daniel jones,
probably but he's had his. Struggles Trevor lawrence is a
Dow jones. ARE i don't know Which Trevor lawrence has shown.
Up potential, Wise he's got potential to be the best
in the, league but production wise it's been up and.

(02:10:10):
Down so how much do you trust? Him wide receiver
corps Guys Adam Christian. Kirk while on paper there may
be somebody, said, well you, Know jacksonville's got some. Place
they're as good as anybody because the quarterback is going
to make him, better And Nico collins is the best
receiver in my opinion in the. Division now go to,
defense we don't even need to go. There you already
know pass rush or scram a linebacking corps that can

(02:10:34):
run and hit you in a, mouth and the best
secondary not only in the, division best young secondary in the,
league AND i think by the end of the year
top five, defense and quite, frankly may very well be
the best secondary in, football not just, young but the.
Best they've got that. Chance they're, deep and they're really.
Good they've drafted Well Nick, caserio their coach is really.

(02:10:55):
Good they didn't let what they, considered you, know didn't
get the job. Done an offensive, coordinator offensive line. Coach
some would have let it fester and, say let's go another,
year see if we can run it back like we
did as a. Rookie, no they, decided now this isn't good.
Enough we're going to. Start we're doing something. Different so
they got. That maybe your question will how's the? Course
AND i get if you're, questioning, well how's the? Coordinator

(02:11:16):
what's going to go on? There because it's it's new to.
Us but he's got a lot to work. With so
at every, position sands maybe offensive, line depending on how
this team shapes, up they're better at every position than
any team in the. DIVISION i don't know what would
be a bigger what would be make me happier or
make me more miserable that what's what what what what's

(02:11:38):
going to? BE i, mean it'll be tough to get
to to get to AN afc title, Game BUT i
seriously believe that this, team considering the division they're in
and how they handle the outside the division, schedule if
they just play solid, football don't self, inflict you, know
self destruct and inflict themselves with. PENALTIES i don't. See

(02:11:59):
and the quarterbacks, UPRIGHT i don't the defense is going to.
PLAY i don't see how this team when we Hit
december is not not looking, ahead but it's sitting there
completely control the division and then start to think in
the middle Of, december how we can get home field
advantage Throughout The chiefs aren't going fifteen and two this.

(02:12:20):
Year they're just. Not fifteen wins is hard to come,
By so what thirteen? Wins if we get the thirteen,
wins you're going to be in the talk for home field. Advantage,
Yeah and that's exactly the Way i'm thinking right, now
because we're allowed in the media and maybe not in
their locker, room to get ahead of. Ourselves BECAUSE i
start to see it this division and then you should
be fresh. LEGGED i, mean it's. Football they'll get, Beat

(02:12:42):
i'm sure by somebody in the, division but in, truth
going in they'll be favored in every one of them
in the. Division so what is the excuse there isn't.
One now year, three it's another moving year for. Them
this should be a team that should dominate this. Division
and if, healthy that's the if for every team in the.
League if those five guys, upfront protect the quarterback and play,

(02:13:05):
smart they don't have to. Play they don't have to
Play hall Of fame for just smart football and stay.
Healthy The Houston texans are winning this division by minimum
of two, games and they are clearly the best. Team
So i'm as thrilled AS i have been because you,
know there's been some Play Who's lawren's going to Be
we're still asking. It but they've had some, players and
they had a Super bowl coach until he was, fired
and they got a rookie coach In liam CON i

(02:13:27):
don't know how he's going to be In. Jacksonville this
division is only right for the. Win it's right for
a triple sweep against those three and you should dominate
them because they shouldn't be able to score much on.
You BECAUSE i don't see a dominant offense in any
of those three. TEAMS i do see a dominant defense,
Here so just looking at it on the big, picture

(02:13:48):
this team should be in position to win their division
as strongly as any team in THE afc for, sure
to WIN. THEIRS Afc north will be brutal TECH i
Mean cleveland offense and good. Defense the other three teams
in the division can. Play in The, west The raiders
are the worst team and they may win eight or
nine games this year if they can beat a couple

(02:14:10):
in the. Division denver's, Good chargers are. Good chiefs are.
Good that's brutal. Too East New england should be better With.
Rabel The, jets who the hell knows with? Them It's
New york and it's The. Jets But miami they'll. Score
they're just not physical enough to go win a Super,
bowl but they'll challenge for. Playoffs and then you Got,
buffalo who's a Super bowl type. Team so who's defense

(02:14:31):
and who's when they get to the? Playoffs which one
of these teams should be, well clear minded and. Fresh,
yes that's a ways of. Way this team's the best
in the, division AND i don't think it's. Close matter of,
fact they're the best team in the division by a
bigger distance Than Kansas, City buffalo Or baltimore is in their.

(02:14:52):
DIVISION i didn't say they're better. TEAMS i said the
distance between them and the second best team is much
bigger bandwidth in this division than in the other three
in THE. Afc we should be really excited about the
prospects of what they're going to. Do and this team
has taken a step every year to get better and
this year is no. Different take your call seven, one, three, two, two,

(02:15:15):
five seven Ninety Dana brown in fifteen, minutes a chance
to chime in on what you're most looking forward to
and do you believe It's Super bowl team here yet
or deep In? January? Team who are they? Meaning The?
Texans It's Sports talk seven, ninety rolls.

Speaker 1 (02:15:30):
On this Is Sports talk seven, ninety home of The,
Rockets astros and the best line up In Houston. Sports
now back To Sean.

Speaker 2 (02:15:41):
Salisbury, uh but we are Talking, texans AND i just
think that they are to, me they are the easiest
division winner to pick in THE. Afc, now you'd say
Probably buffalo, next BECAUSE i don't think they're going to
be as challenged in their. Division miami's pretty, good AND
i mentioned The jets and The. Patriots there's a long

(02:16:02):
way that may be the other division That buffalo's clearly
in my, mind the best team will win that. Division
they're on Par but The, west it's not a foregone
conclusion that The Cancy chiefs are going to boat race.
People that's a tough division as well as THE Afc
north Because, cincinnati if their defense At, baltimore would be the.
Favorite But pittsburgh And cincinnati are obviously formidable because, well

(02:16:22):
quarterback play is pretty damn. Good this is the. One
let's get out To Big, Ja Big. Jay welcome in my.
Man how you, doing, Brother good to have you. On good,
Morning sean, happy basic white Guy Western. Winnsday it's good
to be. Back it's good to be good to be.
Back good to have you. Back SHOULD i say, yes sir? Man,
hey you, KNOW i think The texans are.

Speaker 13 (02:16:40):
Primed like you, SAID i, mean the biggest thing and
the biggest point you're talking about is we got to
have that LINE o line get. NASTY i, mean we
can't have the pre snap, penalties can't be playing behind the.
Chains but, YEAH i Think Josh allen is more worried
about his YouTube golf. Career and you, know The eagles
might have showed own the the blueprint on how to

(02:17:03):
take down The chiefs and Ma.

Speaker 2 (02:17:04):
Homes so, YEAH i truly think it's The texans year.

Speaker 13 (02:17:08):
Man i'm excited about to Asktros Gotta, Lee Bryce matthews
what a Talent Cam. SMITH i would, not in my,
opinion be worried, about you, know making trades because we've
got all these guys coming, back, Right but to improve the, lineup,
yeah you want, to but you don't want to give
away the.

Speaker 2 (02:17:24):
Farm, uh just in my. Opinion and, HEY i HAD
i had a quick question for.

Speaker 13 (02:17:28):
You do you do you sign up For master's tickets
every year or?

Speaker 5 (02:17:33):

i've never at the. TIME i haven't been able to
just schedule, wise been able to. Go BUT i fortunately
have some some buddies that do have opportunity to get.
Them SO i would normally instead of getting a, lottery
lean on some friends to. Go I've i've got some

(02:17:56):
friends that. Could why was there a reason you're, Asking oh,
yeah it's just the most.

Speaker 13 (02:18:00):
Depressing oh, yeah, well all of our group chat got
all the rejection, letters so oh you. Did oh, yeah
we got the rejection, letters you, know twelve years in a.
Row so maybe maybe next year.

Speaker 2 (02:18:11):
Is The cape added brother at some point in. Time so,
yeah at some Point i'm gonna go and AND i want.
To but fortunately in the in the, business you get
lucky to be around some people that know. Somebody SO
i would probably go that. Route BUT i have never
applied for the lottery to get tickets to The. Master
SO i hope you guys it works out for you. Guys, yeah,
MAN i.

Speaker 13 (02:18:30):
Hope, so, hey can you give me a little beating
on the table And i'll throw in a little uh

think like you, said the division is so weak and
there's a lot of question, Marks, indy so many question. Marks,
yes do they have a solid old, line do they
have a solid run? Game, Yes but my, gosh she's
going to play, quarterback you. Know and Then, jacksonville you,
know you got.

Speaker 2 (02:19:47):
Duve all who knows the coach alone tells, me, man
that's going to be a treading up.

Speaker 5 (02:19:51):
Hill.

Speaker 13 (02:19:52):
Yep Trevor lawrence had so much potential coming, out but
he hasn't shown. Much they've lost telling it wide. Receiver
and then With, Tennessee i'm And Will. Levis now you're
turning it over to a high potential rookie and Cam.
Ward but he's gonna have some growing pains and. HELPED
i saw like a clip yesterday that they asked in
a in a in a meeting or a press. CONFERENCE

(02:20:14):
i guess the general manager and, stuff hey is this
a Super bowl? Roster and they're, like, uh, well we'll
we're always looking to, improve and you, know we're putting
guys out, there so they're they're not even confident in
their front.

Speaker 2 (02:20:26):
Office so they've got a ways to.

Speaker 13 (02:20:27):
Go but you, know AND i THINK o line, Right
but we got to win some primetime, games like when
we're in you, know, primetime we got to show them
who we, are like The Christmas day game last. Year
we got to show up and just and just win
some primetime games and beat on some. PEOPLE i think
that's gonna be the most entertaining. Thing BUT i LOVE
i love The. Texans the up the upswing is there for.

sure he's having a has his eyes towards getting these
people healthy for a team that's seventeen games over five

(02:21:31):
hundred and five games in front of The Seattle. Mariners Dana,
Brown ASTROS gm next for The Sean Salisbury show Continued
Astros General Manager Dana. Brown, dana good to have you.
On missed you during The All star, break BUT i
know much needed. Rest if there is such a thing
as with the trade deadline approaching and all that's going,

(02:21:53):
on let me get where your mindset was just as
a baseball guy and a general manager of your team
going in The All star, break one in, five coming,
out lose a couple right against a divisional. Opponent tell
me at the worst of those seven or eight, games
where was your mindset about your team during that? Skid
the small one that the worst one they've had all.

Speaker 9 (02:22:14):
Year.

Speaker 5 (02:22:16):
Yeah, Look i'm very positive about our. CLUB i, mean
our club is AS i mentioned, before we're showing a
lot of grit through all these, injuries and you, know
the main thing is that we stay. Positive we know
that we have you, know depth on our, roster and
we continue to play good. BASEBALL i, mean you, know
if you look across the, league a lot of teams

(02:22:36):
are going through their ups and. Downs it's just part of,
baseball you. Know and we're still we're still continuing to
show the grit that's, necessary you know to be in first.
Place very proud of the boys and how they're handling.
It joe spotted leadership down in the. Dugout you, know,
look we're we're still grinding through. This we, have you,
know sixty one games to, go and you, know we're

(02:22:59):
not picking our foot off the. Gas we're going to
continue to play hard. Baseball.

Speaker 2 (02:23:03):
Dany it's. Uncanny we've talked about grit and resilience before
you got, here and since you've been, here you've seen
it up, close and their reputation preceded them even before
you got, here and now it's the same. Way but
you start to think about how uncanny it. Is it
just seems like no matter what's going, on there's always
they're gonna spend their way out of. It you guys always,
do and then it's always somebody. Different now you Got

(02:23:24):
Bryce matthews three home runs in two, Days tremmell has. Contributed,
hell you got? What you got a playoff baseball team that's.
HURT i, MEAN i could take the injuries and we
could put a roster together that could probably make the.
Playoffs how you talk about, grit But, danny there comes
a point in time when that's always challenged as. Well
for normal, people this doesn't seem like a normal team

(02:23:46):
because of their ability to. OVERCOME i, mean when do
they get frustrated and when do they, say, well this
guy's too young to come in and make an. Impact
it just feels like it's. Clockwork AND i know it's
not that.

Speaker 5 (02:23:58):
Easy, yeah you, Know, look it's a winning environment first of,
all and we preach, that you, know the windows always,
open so you know, what that's where we start off.
At and then you, know we got guys that are
itching for an opportunity to show what they could. Do
and they get here and they you, know they. Deliver you,
Know Bryce matthews just pretty much carrying the club through

(02:24:21):
this uh you, Know arizona series and you know with you,
know the three home runs and the RBIs and you
know the really nice play right there towards the end
of the game to turn that double. PLAY i, mean,
look these guys are waiting and itching for. Opportunities when
they get the, opportunities they, deliver and it's been really

(02:24:42):
fun to. Watch and look they're saying that this is
what a team is all. About you go, Down i'll
pick you. Up you can't play, TODAY i got. You
and so you know this is this is the fun. Part, now,
look we we want to get our guys, back of,
course no doubt about. It but you, know when your
team is going through this downward spiral of, injuries it's

(02:25:05):
really really comforting to see guys come in and step it.
Up and that's been fun to. Watch you. Know you,
know you you make these moves as a general manager
and you, say, yeah, look you, KNOW i Know i'm
going to call Up. Rice you, KNOW i wish you,
know he had a couple more months left in the
minor league season and continue to grow. There but, hey
the truth of the matter is we needed. Him he

(02:25:27):
came up and he's stepping. Up and so that's what
it's all. About that's what team's all. About that's the culture.
Here and uh look and it's led By joe spotted
down in the in the. Dugout and, Look joe has
really kept a calm voice down there in that. CLUBHOUSE
i mean, things when you go through this type of

(02:25:47):
down a spiral of, injuries it could easily spin out of.
Control And joe has been the common influence down. There
AND i give hats off To joe.

Speaker 9 (02:25:55):
For what he's.

Speaker 2 (02:25:56):
Done ASTRO'S Gm Dana brown is weekly visit here On
Sports talk seven ninety and the expertise of your ability
to see, Talent, dana we we see it every day with.
You and how from you know the guys you've brought
here from someplace else that maybe were cast offs or
whether it's trades or whether it's the camp smith and
all that stuff and paratus when you Mentioned Bryce matthews

(02:26:17):
And Taylor, tremmeel the guys that are here doing their,
thing does it even even with the grit and resilience
in the way you guys develop them and the belief
in the. System have you at least been a little,
surprised a little bit even you shocked? It, Man look
How cam's. Impacted look at the urgent impact By Bryce,
matthews When trammel when you've needed. It does it even

(02:26:38):
surprise you a little? Bit danta that they've elevated their
play in a time of distress which you guys have
been through with these.

Speaker 5 (02:26:45):
Injuries, LOOK i would say that these are strategic moves
that you know that we made so led by our let,
buy our front office and continues through our coaching. Staff you,
know we acquire, guys you, know whether it's by trade
or whether it's by waiver wire or whatever the case may.
Be this is a collective effort by the front office

(02:27:06):
and the coaching, staff and we talk about these. Players we, say, hey,
look this guy is a guy that we think we
can get in the, trade or this guy's a guy
that we think we should claim off. Waivers you, know
we think we can do this with. Them we know
we know that you, know his fastball is doing, This
maybe we need to get him to put a little
bit more pressure on this. SINGER i, mean we do

(02:27:26):
a lot of different things as a collective, group and
it's you, know we meet a couple times a month
even during the, season coaching staff in front, office and
we go through a lot of different things and we
have conversations about what we need to do to continue
to be. Good and you, KNOW i give it to
the ENTIRE i give it to the entire. Staff, look

(02:27:48):
we work our tails, off AND i think what we're
seeing on display right now is a group of collective
people in this organization working hard art to remain good
at this uh and and and stay in first. Place
and so, uh that's where the love goes and that's

(02:28:08):
where you, know we continue to flow and play good.

Speaker 2 (02:28:11):
Baseball what's the ceiling On Bryce. Matthews.

Speaker 5 (02:28:16):
Yeah you, know when we Took bryce a couple of
years ago in the, DRAFT i mean the thing that
we kept talking about was he was very. Athletic he
had exit, velocity so he hit the ball very. Hard and,
look we felt like we can really make some adjustments
with him, defense, defensively and you, know he had a
willing heart to make those. Adjustments and now we're, seeing you,

(02:28:39):
know another young player come up to the big leagues and,
contribute and you, know our hope is that he continues
to play well while we we need him during this
stretch of, injuries and you know he's taken to. It
but you, know we kind of had this vision Of
bryce when we saw him and we drafted him in
the first round a few years ago because of the
way he swings bat and because of the, athleticism we

(02:29:02):
thought he would be able to make.

Speaker 2 (02:29:03):
Adjustments all, Right, dana to your to our favorite, thing
the injury. Report but there are some good. SIGNS i,
mean this has got to be about as OPTIMISTIC i.
Was imagine if you've been as far as the closeness
of how getting them. BACK i, mean What arraghetty AND
Jp france And garcia all headed To Corpus, Christi which
that's a hell of a staff At Corpus christi and

(02:29:25):
NOW i Believe javier From Corpus christy to Sugar. Land
how close is that group of? FOUR i, MEAN i
know there's no specific, timeline but if there, is are
we within striking? Distance can you see the light flicker
in the? Tunnel, YES i think.

Speaker 5 (02:29:40):
We're in striking. Distance and these, guys once we start
to build them up through this spring training type, mode you,
know the guys are actually getting to three. Innings arrogetty's
up to three, innings up to three, Innings garcia's up
the two. Innings you, know you, KNOW Jp france is
knocking on the door of two, innings and so these
guys are starting to build. Up hoviers up to ninety.

(02:30:02):
Five you, Know garcia's up to ninety, Three branch is
up to ninety. THREE i, mean these guys are starting
to throw the ball. Well and of Course arrighetti threw history,
innings he's throwing the ball. Well so definite light at
the end of the. Tunnel you, know once these guys
go on to rehab and we start to build them,

(02:30:22):
up those are good signs that you, know and they're
bouncing back after their. Start that means that's a good
sign of them coming. Back and so it's been very
refreshing to see. That you, know we Got jurdon finally
hitting through his you, know hitting, progression and you know
that's that's a good. Thing and so the guys are
starting to come, back and, look we're right here at

(02:30:45):
the deadline and you, know we're trying to talk through
that as. Well and SO i think if we can
weather the storm of, Injuries we got guys coming, back
and we're still playing good. Baseball those are all good
signs for The Houston astros and the fan. Base and you,
know we're we're trying to really hold this thing together
and we're doing a pretty good job of doing.

Speaker 2 (02:31:04):
That, dana WHEN i mentioned the other side of it
now and the everyday players Of jordan And, Jeremy pania And,
parades uh IF i said they're all three going to
be back In, august how close AM? I?

Speaker 5 (02:31:21):
Yeah very. CLOSE i Mean pinya may go out on
a rehab at.

Speaker 3 (02:31:24):
The end of this.

Speaker 5 (02:31:25):
Week you, know there's a chance to do him doing.
That you, Know i'm watching video every day of that
they're sending.

Speaker 3 (02:31:32):
Me with his.

Speaker 5 (02:31:33):
Progression he looks. Good you, Know urdine is pain free
and we're gradually building him, up uh with with mixing
in the day off and so you, know that looks really.
Good and SO i think it's, yes WE i, mean
we should be getting these guys, back and they're they're
going to be very important to our. Run you, KNOW
i Think pinya may be the first guy, Back BUT i,

(02:31:56):
think you, know it's looking. Good it's looking really good
for for our position.

Speaker 2 (02:32:01):
Player, Hey, Dan if If alvarez is pain, free and you've,
been you, know for the last couple of, weeks it
seems like he's been headed towards. That and if he's
operating pain free post, workout like heading into a day,
off isn't it realistic to think that if this stays
that way in the next, hand next week or, so
that we could see him sooner, now sooner than. LATER
i know it's been a while now and it's the,

(02:32:22):
setback but if he's pain, free isn't that basically the
whole thing right? Now can he go pain free day
after day after? Day is that where we're at the
withstanding and sustaining pain free for a week at a?
TIME i, mean if he's that, CLOSE i, mean shouldn't
we be a little excited About august and maybe sooner
than later In? August?

Speaker 5 (02:32:40):
Oh, yeah very excited About august for. Him and so
what we're going to do is increase the intensity on
the you, know the, swings and so as we continue
to build that up and he's pain free the day,
after those are all good signs that we can increase
it even. More and so as we progress through this,
thing you, know we feel very comfortable that we're gonna

(02:33:03):
get him, back you, know, uh hopefully sooner rather than.
Later H and if he continues to progress in this
manner and, so, uh those are all good. Things and
and and AS i, mentioned we're gonna try to increase
the intensity and if he continues to be paying, free
we can continue to increase the intensity and that's the

(02:33:24):
tail tale. Tests and, uh he's been doing well so.
Far so we're just, uh we're we're.

Speaker 2 (02:33:29):
Thankful and are we day to day With myers or
is it just kind of is it just rest for
what his calf and it's not an achilles, Correct, yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:33:37):
It's just not an. Achilles, uh it's dated day to day.
Rest let him continue to rest that, thing and you,
know we don't want to push him too. Hard and,
UH i MEAN i think That myers we we should
see sometime In august as, well and so but we
have to we have to let him rest and go
through his progression right. Now and and we feel like

(02:34:00):
he's going to be fine just as. Well so at
some point we'll get all three of these guys. Back
and you know that's the beauty of you, know just
getting these guys back and we're looking forward to.

Speaker 2 (02:34:11):
That IF i were to, describe And i'll let you
go on, this and by the, way a bummer For Lancema.
Colors maybe mentally it's a decent step back to get
his mind. Right but you, know the blister on the,
finger and it's just simply a, blister so it's just
a matter of that healing and getting like a second
skin on.

Speaker 5 (02:34:26):
That is that?

Speaker 2 (02:34:26):
Correct, yeah you, know.

Speaker 5 (02:34:29):
Blisters could be. Tricky it sort of happened right before
the last start and then it was really aggravated during that,
start and so you, know, uh they could be, tricky
but you, know hopefully it's not too, long all.

Speaker 2 (02:34:44):
RIGHT i will finish with this if somebody were to ask,
me and they have and about the trade, deadline AND
i said the one WORD i described it from my vantage,
POINT i, said. Aggressive what would you describe for your
guys approach to the trade? Deadline?

Speaker 5 (02:35:01):
Strategic you, know you want to be strategic in what you.
Do you, know you want to acquire the right. Player
you definitely want to make sure that it makes sense
for the organization and what we're doing as we continue
to grind through winning presently and the. Future and so

(02:35:22):
you have to really think through all these things at
the deadline and you try to acquire the right player
that it's going to get you over the hump and
get you back to the postseason and deep into the.
Postseason and so that's what we're you, know we're. Doing
we're trying to be strategic about. This we're having meetings,
constantly and we'll meet all the way up to the.

Speaker 2 (02:35:40):
Deadline will you be in the rental? Business what was?
That where you are you going to? Be will you
be in the rental? Business is like In akkuchi? Situation
are you willing to still jump into the business if
a guy's got an expiring contract at the end of this.

Speaker 5 (02:35:54):
Year, YEAH i, mean, look we're open to. Anything you,
know if the rental business is is the avenue we should,
take then we'll take. It if it makes sense for the,
organization we will definitely do. It but we're open to
whether it's rental or whether it's long term or whatever
the case may. Be to get this team. BETTER i

(02:36:14):
think we will definitely do. It but it has to
make sense for the, organization and it has to make
sense going, forward and it has to make sense for the.
Present and then So we don't want to close any,
door you. Know we want to leave everything open and
try to acquire the best player for this, team player
or players for this team to get back deep into the.

Speaker 2 (02:36:36):
Postseason, dan it's been impressive, man considering what you guys have,
overcome AND i know there's a lot of work to do.
