Speaker 1 (00:00):
As heard last night right here on your home of
the Astros Sports Talk seven to ninety KBMME Houston and
iHeartRadio Station. Astros would score two more times and the
A's only three more times. So that final as called
by Robert Ford and Steve Sparks, eleven to four out
there in Sacramento, Astros with their second straight win. With

(00:21):
all that, we say, away we go and good morning
here on the Sean Salisbury Show. As Sean, that was
a game last night that had a little bit of
frustration at the beginning, because you've got an opportunity to
be able to set the tone and really be able
to start to salt this thing away early. You load
the basses, Jeremy Paniap bringing home a run on a

(00:43):
little blooper into right field to make it two to one,
but then Peretis strikes out al two ve flies out
to center. You only get out of there with one.
So you're just like, ah, gosh, man again, we're doing
this thing, like you know, it's so many times with
basses low did less than one out, oh, you know,
less than two outs, you know, right there at two outs,

(01:06):
and you're just unable to come through in that spot.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, But the good part is the sixth inning came
along and they exploded. Hit the long ball. I mean,
you know, when you hang eleven runs on him. It
did the frustration. It was frustrating defensively too, Fromber was
not himself, you know, walked more than he struck out,
didn't didn't have the same command that you're used to
those able to get out six innings, which is typical

(01:30):
of him, you know, to even if he struggles.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
He's a workhorse.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
And but that was a I love the night when
he can pitch average, you can score double digits runs,
which has now happened twice in the series, and you
get the win, even though frustrations on both sides, you know,
hitting at the plate and on the mound last night.
But these are wins that they obviously all matter, but
even matter more because you didn't have to crush yourself

(01:56):
bullpen wise and get him out in the third inning.
You were able to get him some distance and quite frankly,
a good lesson to him is to battle through those things.
And it wasn't his best night and too many free
passes and command of the strikes one in the offensive
end well, early struggles but I'll take this anyway I
can get it. That's about you know, that's back to
back big run games, and with the balls flying out

(02:19):
of the ballpark and a whole bunch of I mean,
from Karatini to Pana to cam Smith, Daltuve to d Bond,
I mean, it was everybody, grab yourself a piece of
this as well. And so you're looking at what's that now?
What is that?

Speaker 3 (02:35):
What? Twenty four? Some twenty five runs last two games?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, it's twenty four. Yeah there you get thirteen last night.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
So I'll take any You'll take that anyway you can
get it. And it didn't take a seven and two thirds,
two hit, one run, one earned run for from Or
for them to get through this and be in a
situation the ninth any like, oh, high leverage again.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
What are we going to do?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
And these are ones again, I'll say it. This is
a short part five. When you're playing the ace. They've
burdied that. Well, they eagled the last two holes, so
you've they've they've lapped the field in essence, obviously took
a bogie and hole in game one. So you do
it again. You take care of your business today. You've
got a pretty good pitcher going out for you, so

(03:19):
you should run out of here three to one.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Which would be a what's that?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Get it to Dan eight and eight and two on
the swing on the last eight and two.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
In the seven and two.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Right, and then they and then they, you know, they'll
hit the road, hit the road again. So I last night,
I'll live with it. You'll take and you know, we
can find a complaint in every game. But then we've
been begging for runs and we got them back to
back nights. And even though your ace is out there,
your ace was average for what we're used to from him,
and you still were able to take care of it

(03:50):
after some early frustration, and then the sixth inning eruption. Yeah,
those type of games you'll take, even though there's frustrations
along the line. But lessons learned and improved last night
that you didn't have to have a Fortunately, you didn't
have to have an ace performance to win that game.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, Sean just mentioned that six inning eruption. Seven runs
in that inning, and you heard Robert Ford call all
seven of those runs with the L two a three
run homer, camp Smith RBI double and then Victor Carrottini
going down the left field line against Sean Newcomb for
the A's. But I mean it's a great win for you.
You're now a season high twelve games above five hundred

(04:29):
at forty three and thirty one. The Mariners lose yesterday,
the Rangers lose yesterday, so you're able to continue, you know,
separating yourself from those guys and Sean. I mean it
just comes back to it again. You mentioned the six, seven,
eight to nine in the order, two for four last
night out of Victor Carrottini, you get a few hits,

(04:49):
so you get three of them, as a matter of fact,
out of Jake Myers, and you also get a couple
of hits from Maricio Jamond.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Three.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, you grabbed three last night. It's incredible. And m
Smith with three too. So I mean, those guys just
continuing to mash for you and being able to make
a difference in LinkedIn this lineup right there at the
bottom of the order.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
And here we go too again.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Two things that you've that you appear as we can
trust right now with the way they've played and at times,
quite frankly, have had to step up. I don't want
to say carry them, but do that thing has been
the back end of the lineup and three four and
five pitching. Not that I mean, I'm not saying they've
had to replace what Hunter Brown and from were having

(05:32):
it because they pitched great. I'm just talking about filling
in at injuries and stuff. The guys that we did
not expect to be heavily involved and quite frankly get
you a bunch of wins this year with their contribution.
Are a rookie, a center fielder that supposedly can't hit,

(05:53):
a bunch of pitchers that are that are new, that
have been journeymen or somebody else's cast off overcoming injuries,
a third baseman that's replacing the legend here and praise
is getting plenty of love and earned it. You, I mean,
so think think about the names and the people that

(06:14):
are doing damage for the pitching staff and the bullpen
and on the offensive side. And there's been plenty of
times this year, and I could argue that just as
many I'd have to go look where the back end
of the lineup has been as productive as the front end.
Pain has been sensational, and the front side will go.

(06:37):
But while they're not a lot of times, well they're
not going well. Most people have to deal with seven, eight,
and nine. Don't do what this seven eight Nine's done
pretty damn well from six through nine at times, depending
on how Joe's managed and manipulated the lineup. Most can't.
When you're when you're a big stars strugg you may
get the eighth guy going on a little bit of

(06:58):
a run, but it's not and it's to the point
where you're like saying, I'm counting on Jake Myers, I'm
counting on Cam Smith. You were hoping about Jake Myers,
and you were hope these are not these were hope guys.
Hope the rookie comes through early. Hope he turns into
being a superstar, that we're not bringing him here too soon,
which obviously we know that answer. You're not the kid's

(07:19):
phenomenal Jake Myers. Well, hope he hits two twenty five
and plays great defense. Hope outs I mean, you start
to go through a bunch of hopes. Well, hope that
we can at least get a little bit of stuff
from paradis the only hope that's not exceeded the hope
to the word it's like, damn his first base and
hopefully he'll get going because we didn't hope that Christian

(07:40):
We kind of had a good idea Christian Marker was
going to here to do this thing now with the hope,
but think about where the the trusted production has been
coming from on the staff. Well, hey, what are you
gonna do? Well, you know, this guy's pretty good. That
guy's pretty good. Oh you're not talking about Farmer and
Hunter Brown or Javier and Garcia. You're not talking about
Verlander when he was here. You're not talking about JP
franch and no, no, no, I'm talking about three guys that

(08:02):
had absolutely no idea in the starting pitching staff that
this was going to be their role this year.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
And here we go.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
So don't most good teams in all sports find a
couple other guys that have career years. Jake Myers is
having the time of his life right now.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Oh, no question about it.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
So you know what, and it stands to mention that
these guys probably sometimes you get tired of hearing. You
never know when they're going to have to rear their head.
And nothing but credit to those who've you know, just
have up their game man at a time what it's
been needed, especially offensively and that's back to back games

(08:46):
and double digits. You'll take twenty four runs in two games.
You're not losing to anybody that way, especially a team
that will should not beat you.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Twenty hits last night from the Astros, and I mean
you bring up Jake Myers and you know, just to
continue this theme of the bottom of the order that
had been a problem the last couple of years on
the Astro. I mean, even when they won in twenty two,
you got Martine Maldonado in there, so you're batting with
eight because Mark Maldonado, if you got a hit, that
was a bonus celebrating, Yeah you were. And if he

(09:16):
knocked in a run, the same deal. But I mean
you're getting to the point here where you've got tough
abs all the way through. And Myers is one of
those guys. He ain't chasing like he used to. He's
not swinging to missing like he used to.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Listen, we've had there was talk to these last couple
of years about taking a guy who was a good hitter,
like in the sixth hole or the fivefle and moving
him down to the seven or eight hole so they
could have like putting pain in the eight hole, so
they could have a guy who could give you some
production here heading to the top of the lineup for
Altuve to the point where you were willing to because
the beck orderla was take a guy who's having success

(09:51):
and moved them down, no matter regardless who the name
of the person talked about it.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
We've had callers.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Let's move this guy down, put him at eight or nine,
and they're struggling so much. So we have some at
least some arsenal at the bottom of the order. And
now you're saying, now, we're good here. Thanks Smith and Myers.
We're doing just fine. Thank you for when do bonds
in the lineup. We're good. You guys, go ahead and
just tinker with the upper part where Diez is hitting
in the two hole, in the five hole, or he's

(10:18):
sitting in the four aisle two days leading off, No,
he's hitting two. Now he's sitting three, and then uh oh, no,
we're going to put Paradus in the four.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Hole or the three hold of the two hole. We're
it just you.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Guys, go ahead the tinker there. We're good here at
eight nine. It's a pretty good problem to have. No, definitely,
we got to come off the bench, So go grab
that dude who's a backup catcher, and he'll just get
you three hits.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yeah, so it is. It's the.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
I guess that's why we call it a team, man,
because your guys are going to go through struggles. There's
going to come a time with seven, eight and nine
don't hit, couldn't hit water if they fell out of
a boat, And that's when those other guys are going
to have to go ham on the rest of the
league and do it astros normally do at the top of.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
The batting order.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
It's a shout out Josh Lodesma a Paulo does you
know he and uh forget the guy that he does
the podcast with. And they were talking about Victor Carrattini
well last night about a week or two ago, and
they called him a professional hitter. Remember who he used
to call professional hitter? Yeah, Michael Brantley. So then they said,
all right, now it's uncle Vic. Is that one called

(11:24):
me Uncle Vick?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
I like that? Yeah, yeah, I'll take that.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Is there a great well professional hitter kind of goes
to the solid ball striker very much. Yeah, I'm saying
he puts together a good appy he's he he's a
what do we just call him?

Speaker 3 (11:39):
What did you say? They called him?

Speaker 2 (11:40):
What?

Speaker 1 (11:40):
A professional?

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Professional there? That's right, because Brantley was. It was like
almost It's like Chris Berman and the Raiders. He couldn't
say Raiders without saying he honestly, he couldn't say, hey, Chris,
how you doing.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Who's who's playing tonight? He goes, it's the it'll be
the charge in there.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
He's just like he couldn't say Raiders.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Nobody right like talking to him, and all of a sudden,
the camera goes on to live show.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
He just finished put his time on.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
He's frantic trying to get in this dude, I've done it, dude,
cry and laughing, and we're like five seconds away from
a live show. Fixes the last time, puts it on,
gets his jacket and he's he's pissed and frustrated because
he could running behind, but he's had to get his
script done. And he was That's how Chris operated, just
like he was on the air, right excitable, and all
of a sudden, man that camera, come on here, Sean,

(12:28):
we gotta get this right, Hey, can I get this script? Special?
Thursday edition of Monday Night football, this is Thursday, and
he go, it's the chart's in the DA whenever Oakland
or LA whatever, and he couldn't do it.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's the same thing here.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
You can't say Michael Brantley without putting professional hitter, professional
