Episode Transcript

(00:04):
Oh, okay, let's do this. Sewn Salisbury, the usc true longtime
friend, Shawn Salisbury, Ryan Lima, go lobos. This is the Sean
Salisbury Show. I mean, you'regonna honor a guy who's been average at

(00:24):
best. Yes, Well, let'ssee Luca super Bowl rings there. What's
a big deal? You know,Luca Dodges is also a cry baby bitch?
Whoa, whoa? That reminds meof uh a bege me of the
Longest yard. Remember when Terry crewsthere on the basketball court, he goes
a baby back Yeah, baby backbitch. Yeah you think he's a baby
back bitch. Yeah, with somecheese on it. Yeah, you think

(00:45):
Luca dodgeons is a baby back bitch. That's kind of personal, dude.
Yeah, it's kind of hard.Uh, you know, playing defense for
Luca Dodge's fat ass. So whoa, it's you know, he's a legal
scory and he's got a fat ass. Huh. Well, okay, I'm
sitting here still. My lament isthat I don't understand about, uh,
how Brady got into the Patriots Hallof Fame. He's uh, he was

(01:07):
average at best. Average white guyis an average white quarterback, no question,
about it. Average white guy,just really really good. He'll do
it a pitch. Yeah, he'sall right. So there you go.
You're mad at Luca. Uh,somebody's probably mad at fromber today, First
based Productions, great, first baseDH production off the charts. You're calling
Luca babyback bitch early Yep. Really, I mean that's so that's tough.

(01:32):
You haven't even hit six oh threeyet, No, it's six. Oh
you made it at six oh one. What happened to you? I'm a
little a little better mood man.You wrote mad at Luca. They're not
even your team and you're mad atLuca? When is that right? You
pick? You picked him in whatsix? Who? Six? Or seven?
That's right? Well you're gonna gethim in four? Biscuit and Triple

(01:53):
Lee had the Mavericks in what's seven? Right, tripley I'll say six?
Okay, Well, yeah, that'sthat's not gonna and that's not gonna work
because the Celtics are gonna sweep theirass. I told you if they win
three, they're winning four. Butyou can win big on the bet that
I told you to take. DidI tell you to take Kyrie over twenty

(02:14):
three and a half did he getit? Come on, baby, bitch,
what do you think he got?He probably uh scored scored enough.
Let's see what did he have lastnight? I'm just a gambling machine.
He had U thorough winning a winningmachine. Tripley. You know what I'm

(02:37):
saying? Triple yeah? He hadthirty five? Uh saying louder to the
people in the back in here,three five? You think I won that?
Bet? Luka Doncic twenty seven points, six assists, six rebounds and
six uh cry baby meals. Ijust this disrespect he put on Lucas he
spent more time, you know,playing defense rather than bitching about the officiating,

(03:00):
they might win well in there,about ninety seven percent of the players
in the NBA, you can say, if you spent more time playing defense,
yeah, Celtics, Celtics are justlet's put it this way. There's
at him, there's superior. He'sscreaming at his bench. Do you better
have you better aff and challenge that? You know what he also wanted.
He's probably smoking a grid at halftime. And do you know what the hate

(03:23):
from you is just palpable. Ifhe was on, if this, if
this was like the Nuggets versus theCeltics, I wouldn't be doing it.
I just hate Dallas anything Dallas.Oh, you just hate that. So
if it was if it was uhNicola Jokic, you'd just be saying,
man hard. Yeah, I playedhard, gave it one hundred percent.
Yeah, you think you could coverLuca in the open court? Uh?

(03:44):
Probably not? Keep my keep my. You are literally baby back pitchedim early.
Okay, Yeah, so you justcome out firing. You want to
know why? I want to whywhy am all fired up this morning?
Because the US Open starts. That'sthat's starts as well. Yeah, five
guys, you ready five the burgerand we always do four. It's three

(04:04):
and then the one bonus. Butlet's go you want to go five four,
Let's just go five straight, forgetthe bonus, the best five five?
All right? Yeah, that's fine, and we're gonna have to do
it pretty early because they're teeing themup today. Man, don't sit there
and pick Coke Rack as your firstpick. He ain't play it in the
tournament. That's not well. Igot to Smith at least, so whoa

(04:26):
and Scotti Scheffler I won last time. So yeah, because because uh Chafley
won the tournament, right, andyou can't pick John Ram this week either.
Yeah, I wouldn't have so doHe's not playing great golf right now,
did you? And he's not playingin the tournament. So do I
still get first picks inside the majority? Do you get first pick? Because
you won? Because I won lasttime? So that's how we're doing it.
Yeah, okay, that's how we'vealways done it. That is how

(04:46):
we've always done right. You've justalways won everyone just so you used to
pick it first. So you're gonnatake Scheffler, all right? What a
baby back bitch you are? No, Yeah, because Schoffley won that tournament.
Congraduate. Hey, yeah, it'swhy congratulates my first time graduate the
big way, my first time.But let's let's not bury the lead.
When's enough enough with Josea Bray Youhonestly past it? I mean, I

(05:09):
mean past the point they are.It is uh low baseball IQ to play
him quite frankly, the first baseposition, the production there and I listen,
I don't I actually even have toqualify this, but let me just
say this. Love Singleton's story.Think of Bray us a hell of a

(05:33):
teammate and had a good run.Neither one of them are good enough to
carry this team to to make thata productive situation at first base. And
when I mean productive, I'm talkingabout adding power at times. Yes,
I'm talking about consistent production that whenyou show up to the ballpark every day
that the opposing pitcher that's an autofor the most part. That's that's just

(05:56):
that's a oh, this will beeasy to get through. Part of part
of this team, right. Thefirst base position on this team overall is
friggin putrid. It's a black hole. Black hole. Yeah, it's a
black hole. That's that has that'snever ending. It continues to drop and
drop and drop. I prompt youknow what. I'm gonna tell you this,

(06:16):
and this is harsh. You canfind any hack to play first base
and hit one thirty. I'm notsaying a Brandy's career has been a hack.
I'm not saying that. And I'mnot saying Singleton's come back and his
career has been a hacked. Icouldn't do it. I'm tale about pro
baseball players, what they do.I I can find anybody in the league.
Hear me when I'm saying this,anybody in the league that has a

(06:40):
that's played some first base and thenknows how to pick up a bat and
walk to the on deck circle.I can find anybody in the league to
hit one thirty. Calvin Bigio wasdfaed from the Blue Jays. He was
then traded over to the Dodgers.He's hitting two hundred. That's still seventy
points higher exactly that I was gonnasay, that's sixty five plus points higher.
And I know Singleton guy going,well, what was Singleton two twenty

(07:01):
two thirty something like that. SoI mean, and he's a better he's
a better hitter. He's a betterplayer than that bray You At this stage,
there's no doubt. You know whatit tells me. It tells me
I start to question an organization's decisionmaking credibility. And that's hard to do
with this Francis because I love it, but the people who and I don't
know who it is. I couldspeculate on three or four names, but

(07:27):
you start to lose major credibility.By running the guy out there, you're
basically saying the only reason we're playinghim is because we screwed the pooch and
paid him enough money that we're tryingto save face, and in the process
of saving face, you're digging adeeper hole. The first base position on
the Houston Astros is a friggin embarrassmentwhen it comes to baseball, and well,
Sean, you couldn't do it.You're damn right. I couldn't.

(07:48):
But I got news for you.If I was twenty five years younger and
played baseball when I would, ifI would have continue to play baseball,
I can hit one thirty. Okay, I can hit one thirty at thirty
five years old if I played probaseball. It is a it is are
They play on a regular basis witheight guys and sometimes seven depending on what

(08:13):
the other position is there. Youlose instant credibility by running bye, by
doing what you're doing on a firstbase I'm gonna just say it as loud
as I can. Keratini. Iknow he can't because he's a second catcher
and you need him for Diaz.So let's just let's sans Keratini at first
base on a regular basis. Ican bring Joey low Perfito up tomorrow,

(08:37):
and I can promise you as I'msitting here and guarantee you the first base
positions better YEP, production and theenergy is better productive, competitive, athletic,
and even if you and I alwayshave the thread of when he gets
on base, he ends up onthird base because he can run now and
I listen while I know when theyhit him, they hit some prodigious shots.

(09:01):
Does Singleton low Perfeedo's got as muchpower as either one of them?
Matter of fact, I'll go evenone step further. I think he's got
more power in both. May notbe. He's not as big a body
as both, but I can tellyou this, he'd be more. So
I'm just using him as an example. You are the decision make whoever's making
the decision to run him out atfirst base every day, and I don't
know who has the biggest voice init. You're losing credibility by playing him

(09:26):
every day. Either you're losing credibilityat the first pace position, because the
truth is Singleton should be a fillin. He's not an everyday guy.
And I love him to death,He's not an every day guy and he's
not a championship first baseman. Atthat position, if you don't have pop
power and production, it's very,very difficult to go on because you're still
looking in Bregmant's hitting the ball better, but your corner infielders have taken a

(09:46):
while to get going. The thirdbasement starting to play, that's starting to
roll. The first base position hasbeen a two year saga. It can't
continue. And they lost again,and Fromber looked like inconsistent. Fromber got
knocked around and walked some people andgave up a bunch of hits. And

(10:07):
here I thought he was going togo out and back it up. It's
just this is who they are thisyear, so you're going to get used
to it. And he can't keeprunning him out there, and I can't.
You can't keep telling me, well, eventually because he gets hot as
it goes along. I'm sorry.I can't buy into that anymore. And
quite frankly, the next time it'smentioned to me, I might have to
laugh at it by a fan oranybody else. Tell me, well,
it's still early now. That firstpace position blows right now for the Astros.

(10:30):
You know you talk about you don'tknow who is. We can sit
here and speculate on who is pushingJose Abray. You to continue to start
and continue to get at bats.Brian McTaggart, MLB writer for MLB dot
Com Joydour on Deck Show yesterday righthere on seven nine year home for ast
Rows Baseball. Did Brian McTaggart Okay, yeah, And Matt Thomas was hosting

(10:50):
the on Deck Show, and BrianMcTaggart said, Joe spot his hands or
tied when it comes to playing josea bray you. Even if Josey said,
even if jose a bray you orI'm sorry, if Joe A Spotta
wanted to play Singleton more, hehas to play jose a bray You.
And wherever that's coming from is pushingit onto jose or is pushing it onto

(11:11):
Joe's So somebody above Joe Spotta ispushing on him. They're not sure who
it is, but whoever it is, as he's not in the dugout on
a database, which you're telling me. So it comes down, dude,
it comes down. Really, it'sthree people. It's either Reggie Jackson,
Jeff Bagwell or both and or JimCrane or Dana Brown. Yeah, it's
one of four pre people correct orin correct? That's what I think.

(11:31):
Well, who else could it be? It's one of those four? For
dispect. I'm not saying I don'tknow who it is. I think it's
one person in one person only,and for whatever reason, that one person
has Jim Crane's ear. I thinkJim Crane, in my opinion, I
think Jim Crane is tired of this. But for whatever reason, someone else
is still saying, hey, justa little bit longer, a little bit
longer, and for some reason JimCrane is like, Okay, let's do
it. If Jeff Bagwell is pullingthe straight, Jeff Bagwell's a better hitter

(11:54):
than a bray who is right now, right now. Yeah, Jeff Bagwell
is running a guy out there thatJeff Bagwill can actually hit better than as
we sit here and speak. Andlike I said, Singleton's more per day.
If you're going to run somebody outthere, Singleton. Of the two,
Singleton's got to play more. Yeah. But of the three, if
there's a third one, your thirdoption is better than the other two,
I'm sorry to tell you just isit Just is it is. Then they

(12:18):
get the better options sitting in theminor leagues right now and was pulled up
last time for who knows why,and then turn around put back down there
in just a wasted trip. Ican put him in and say you're playing
first base the rest of the season. You're playing first paid, the ball
is not heavy, and you're notold. Go go play and we'll we'll
fill in once in a while.Screw your analytics, screw the I'm tired

(12:41):
of it. Play who gives youa chance to build with and see what
you can do. Because Joey litPerfito, I believe can hit one thirty
with his eyes closed. That's justme. He'd have more competitive at bats,
Like I said, he'd be moreathletic over at first base. I
don't care if the organization doesn't seehim as a future first baseman for this
season and this season alone. Letthe kid get some run at first base.

(13:01):
Dude, I can, I can. I can make Trey Cabbage a
first basement for that Yeah, forthat matter, he's a big body.
Yes, he's a corner infielder aswell. He's played a little bit before,
and he's played third base, rightsomebody somebody else, and he played
some third bases, third base,played left field. So listen, if

(13:22):
you're going to platoon two, platoonfive, platoon them all right, just
revolve the door bare. Yes,I'm talking about guys who can carroteen.
He's had a glove over there before. If Cabbage can put a glove on
over there, uh low Berfido canput a glove on, and then the
other two has done it this.Whoever's hot at the plate, put them
over there. What you're telling meby putting dubon there at times? And

(13:43):
all these guys that you don't believeit all the time either you're trying to
fight and scratch. If in truth, Joe A. Spotta is being told
to put a bray you out there. This team's not making the playoffs,
it's not because if the manager isnot making that decision, it's twofold.
If the manager's not making the decisionwho to play, then shame on,

(14:05):
Shame on, Shame on the organizationright now for hiring a guy that you're
not going to empower to make adecision. If Joe A. Spotta is
making the decision and wants Abray says, he has confidence and really is pushing
in there and it's his decision.I trusted Brian mctagart says, because I
know he's dialed in. Yeah,But if it was a spotted running him
out there, then Joe Aspota,then Joe A Spotted need they need to

(14:26):
reconsider why they hired him. Soit's twofold. The bottom line is you
can't run these guys out first base, especially the Brave. That ship has
sailed and it's been long saled andunfortunately the sales broke. Let's let's look
at some numbers since jose Abrew hasreturned from West Palm Beach. We'll discuss
the next on Sportslock seven ninety.Let's go. This is the Sean Salisbury

(14:50):
Show, jose A braw Oh forthree yesterday. Since his return from West
Palm Beach, jose Abray was hittinga buck sixty seven for the sea he's
in. He's hitting a buck twentyfour. He's improved bucks sixty seven.
It's about forty points are and heis that one thirty no. One sixty

(15:13):
seven since his return. That's whatI'm saying. His overall average on one
thirty right now twenty four. Yeah. And to think that one sixty seven
raised is over overall season average toone twenty five. I guess when I
approached the hose of bray, youand that thing, it's for me it's
not. He's the reason this teamis where they are, right, He's

(15:35):
part of it. That first basepositions, part of it, decisions by
whoever's making him, lineup, decisions, some good pitching, somebody your Fromber
wasn't good yesterday, it was not, And so there's a little bit here.
It's when you're going bad, weall look for the reason to point
a finger at that guy, whoeverthat guy is. In this year or
the last year and a half,it's been a bray. He's taking a

(15:56):
lot of pounding right and when itcomes to performance, rightfully so. But
we've got to I want to sayguard against. But the truth of the
matter is they're not this many gamesout and this many games under five hundred
simply because Jose Abray is hitting onetwenty four. It's part of it.
I think there's also something a littlebit deeper, though, I think that's

(16:18):
where I was going with this.To me, it's the decisions that are
being made to run a guy outthere more even more for me than the
production. The production is at thestart of it. Then to keep running
him out there's insanity. Like I'vementioned to dand Brown four, isn't it
insanity to keep doing the same thingover and over again expecting a different result.
That's the part that drives me crazy, which leads to it all.

(16:40):
It filters back to that position orthat it's it's getting to the point I'm
going to tell you, Brian forme that the decision to play him is
worse than his production. Yeah,I think it's what have we always heard
about this clubhouse tight knit can getthrough any adversity. Honestly, I think
this along with a rookie manager,meaning the decision to continue to play Joe

(17:03):
Espada, I think it is negativelyaffecting this lineup and a negative negatively affecting
this clubhouse. Well, the production'sone thing, but the the to run.
And as a teammate, you're notgoing to go at publicly say well
the First Base production sucks. You'renot going to do that. No,
that's not what a good teammate does. But it's listen if you, like

(17:26):
I said, a blind man cansee that the production. You know,
my mom, before she passed away, was losing a side. She could
have told you the production of FirstBase just by listening to calls on radio
and TV tell you the production FirstBase ain't good. Matter of fact,
the production's so bad it turns ablind person into one that can see.
Okay, and that's a fact,though well not really a fact, a

(17:47):
little hyperbole, but you get mypoint. For me, it's getting to
the point when they say, areyou more mad at the production or more
mad that you run the gath that'snot producing. It's the second one.
Now, Yeah, the production initiallylike oh my goshlast year, like what's
going on? Then the postseason hitand you say, okay, thumbs up.
He got better, like everybody said, has been the part of his
career that he's done. Every monthhits better. But now it's to the

(18:08):
point where you don't don't have timeto wait. You're not ten games over
five hundred, you're not in firstplace. And while the clubhouse seems tight
knit right now, this team,with injuries and everything, they're not good
enough to overcome it. With oneor two guys playing well or three or
four guys not playing well. They'rejust not They've got They need all hands
on deck on a regular basis toget there. That's just who they are

(18:30):
this year. With injuries, arookie manager making decisions, a front office
that overpaid a first base when you'redoing that a guy who's made a comeback,
and god bless John Singleton, butreally it's they're just a subpar They're
just guys at first base right nowwhen it comes to baseball. So and
then when you're not having a careeryear from Bregman, you know, Al

(18:51):
two bays started to hit again,the pain, his average has dropped,
Tucker's out. I mean, thesethings that are rolling, You're like,
Okay, Jake Myers is cool off, right, Brian. I mean he
started to I mean the catcher positionwith Yiner Dias. He went hot for
those three games where he homered andthree of them, and so you're starting
to see I mean, it's justit's the one guys. It's the rob

(19:12):
Peter to pay Paul, and thensometimes Paul wants to double the money and
you know, double the bonus andit's not there. So it's just kind
of all over and they are notgood enough right now to have three or
four guys struggle and then make decisionsthat aren't that you're putting people out there
that aren't producing, say oh it'llbe all right, No, no quite,
frankly, oh it'll be all right, it's baseball. But in the

(19:34):
scheme of of over the course ofthe season, eventually you're gonna it'll be
all right, and there'll be sixtygames to go and you'll be twelve of
them out and you'll have no shot. Yeah, you'll you'd have to play
seven hundred baseball. They're not goingto play six twenty five baseball the rest
of the year. I'm just sorrythey're not. And that's to get to
what ninety wins, Yeah, ninor eighty eight wins somewhere right, ninety

(19:56):
wins and that's like six twenty fiveor six th five baseball. I think
it's six thirty five. I'm justtelling you they're not doing it. I'll
tell you who else isn't going toplay six forty baseball the rest of the
year. Even the Philadelphia Fillies aregoing to struggle to do that, or
the Dodgers or the Yankees. Thatthat's if listen, if you could play
six hundred baseball the rest of theyear, you're winning your division most likely

(20:17):
if you're that team in first place. Right Yeah, there's not. They're
talented enough, there's not good enoughright now, and they're too beat up
injured wise, and you're counting ona bunch of guys to log innings that
aren't going to be able to logall those innings that are young and still
working on that, and you're countingon two injured guys to come back and
pitch for you. That's what you'recounting on. And you're counting on that

(20:40):
Bregman's gonna end up playing like anMVP the last ninety games. And you're
counting on the fact that the firstbase position somehow is gonna get hot,
and you're counting on Al two bais gonna play like a Hall of Famer.
All those things that may happen.But you know it's crazy. Even
if Bregman and Al two vey dothat, are you sure that the pitching
is gonna be able to hold upall these innings and the I mean,
I don't know if you're counting onthe fact that mccullor's is gonna log ninety

(21:02):
innings in the last month of theseason. I'm being hyperb It's not gonna
happen, right, So I justto me, this is one of those
years you're gonna fight scratch you.I think they're out of it. No,
but you can't tell me. Somethingtells you this is a six thirty
five baseball team to get tonight atthis point, they're not gonna sniff ninety
wins at this point. No,that's the frustration. The frustration to keep

(21:26):
running them out there at first baseis more more maddening right now than the
production itself. Yeah, because atthe end of the day, you are
not putting your best lineup out thereto go and win games. Whoever's making
that decision, right, And ifit's not Joe's spotted, then why do
you even have a manager? Well, if it's not Joe Spotted, then
you shouldn't have hired him, rightseven, one, three, two,
two, five, seven to ninetyphone lines are open. Let's hear your

(21:49):
frustrations will get to everyone next aswe continue to roll on from or did
not pitch well last night? Well, also look at his outing next on
the Seawn Salisbury Show. The SeanFelmsbury Show continued, Jason, welcome in,
good morning. Tell is how y'lldoing today? Fantastic? What's on

(22:10):
your mind? Well? I reallywant to root for a Spota. I
like the guy, I really do, but always go back to whenever everybody
knew when Dusty was leaving he wasgoing to be the guy. It was
clear that he was going to bethe guy. And I always thought,
you know, whenever Dusty was sickthat week in coaching, and you know,

(22:34):
Espota was the guy that you know, took over that job for the
while he was sick. He referredevery question to what Dusty wanted and what
Dusty thought they should do. AndI personally thought that that was his time
to show everybody what what he wascapable of. And I felt like he

(22:55):
felt attack. You know, alwaysgo back whenever. You know, they
always talk about Dana Brown, DadaBrown, you know, for the Braves
was a scout. He was there, you know, he was their top
scout. And as a scout,you should know when a guy got it
or he doesn't got it. So, and I don't want to twist his
words, but I listen to allevery Wednesday when he talks, and he

(23:18):
specifically said, you know, ifyou can't do your job, and basically
you know, they'll get somebody inthere that can. So I mean he's
he's doing the exact topposite in myopinion. So something's gotta change, because
you know, if a Spotty doesend up getting let go, you know,
this season or next season because theycan't get there, you know,

(23:38):
and he tries to go and beanother coach somewhere else or gets interviewed.
This ain't gonna look good on him, fellas. Thank you for the call
of Jason. I don't think.I don't think Joe Spott is gonna be
let go. He's not gonna belet go, and they're gonna go the
whole year evaluate him and depending onhow the second half of the season goes.
You don't want a team that thisjust keeps one and duns of man,

(24:02):
this team's not familiar with that.Now, this is the third GM,
and let's say one, two,three, like third GM in five
years for different reasons obviously, andthe previous two won a World Series and
the other one got within his aseries of way of being in the World
Series a game game actually so,And when it comes to Joe Spot and
Joe Spot's not getting fired during theyear. If you listen to the way

(24:26):
people talk at a just old schoolrespect, they're not going to fire him
right now. If they go intothe tank and he's in over his head
and they go and starts making decisions. I don't even think Joe spot is
if they don't make the playoff.Joe spot I think we'll be back next
year. Whether you want him backor not. He may be, but
I have to empower my manager tomake decisions or he can't be my manager

(24:47):
if I don't trust. It's likemy quarterback. If I send you out
there and you've been in the league, I don't care if you're a rookie
and they're blitzing and I don't giveyou the chance to check out of a
play and you're putting my team ina buying and we're playing uphill the whole
time. That I can't run youout there. Or my quarterback needs to
study more to be in the position. Now, that doesn't mean overwhelming with
eighty audible checks, but you gotto give him the chance to get out

(25:08):
of a bad play. You empowerhim on the field. If you can't,
you cannot play him, rookie orten year veteran. It's the same
thing here, rookie manager Fine Iwas told in an interview here that the
learning curve for Joe Spotty is notlaw not a big one. So that
tells me you trust him. He'llmake decisions. So trust him to make

(25:29):
on field decisions, and if hedoesn't, then get rid of him if
they're bad decisions. And if youcan't trust the guy, if you've got
a babysit a manager, what ittells me you can't trust him in nut
cutting time and you shouldn't have hiredhim. If you can trust him,
then trust him fully, not eightypercent, not eighty seven percent. You
gotta trust him fully, and yougot to let it rip and then evaluate,

(25:51):
just like you do players when theseason is over. You evaluate their
ass You evaluate front office, youevaluate coaches, you evaluate every player.
You evaluate your frigging equipment. Andif it's not good, guess what.
This is the business. You youfind somebody else cold And that's the way
it is. But you know what, that's that's true. If the salesperson
hasn't made a sale in five years, guess what, they're gonna find a

(26:11):
new salesperson. Gotta go because you'renot very good at your job. Right,
That's the way it is, Brad, what's your mind? What's on
your mind about Joe Spotting? What'sup? Guy? Joe spot I said
it at the beginning he's over hishead. And you just said it earlier,
just a minute ago, Sean.If he's over his head, he's
over his head. It's about tobe All Star ninety five percent of the

(26:33):
time, ninety eight percent of thetime where you finish at the All Star
breaks, where you're gonna finish atthe end of the season. Every now
and then you have the anomaly ofwhat the Nationals that beat us in the
World Series. Uh. I sawit in the Angels game last week.
Berlander gave up. I think thebases loaded to out one out and those
bottle went out. I think hewas going to get him, and Burlander

(26:56):
did you? And he's you know, he's prima donna, and he just
didn't have the onions to pull it. And I just I just looked right
there. So got the guy's weak. If you ain't got a strong manager
and you don't have buy in thatlocker room, I'm sorry. You got
problems that can step up and bea leader. You got big time problems.
I'm right, regardless of the situation. I prefer whether it's Joe a

(27:18):
Spot or anybody else. When yougo out there, did it's not tread
and lightly, it's your team,you make the decision, did his best
and if if you think that's thebest, whatever that decision is, you
make it, you better. You'regonna live with it, though, And
if we're gonna rip a guy,if we're not, if we're like I
said yesterday, you can't give somebodycredit because you like him only when the

(27:41):
team wins, and not be aand criticize, be afraid to criticize when
they lose. It goes both ways. When you win, you give the
players, manage your credit. Whenyou lose, the players manager, they're
they're gonna get the blame. Butyou can't be selective when oh, only
when they win. There's a certainguy the credit when a manager gets credit
when they win, but we're notgoing to give them any blame when he

(28:03):
lose because he's a rookie. Youcan't make those excuses because if you're not
going to give him the credit whenhe wins, then hard to give him
the blame when they lose. Right, it's all encompassing, brother, that's
called pro sports. It's called accountability. And he's no less accountable than anybody
else is on the team. Justlike the first basement of the third bad
they're all accountable, and it ain'tno sacred cows that are above criticism,

(28:25):
regardless of who they are. Ifow two Bay strikes out five times swinging
at pitches, guess what swinging apitch out of strikes on? He ain't
above criticism either. But I alsoknow that he'll come back the next day
and make up for it, becausehis history says that. So point is,
it's called pro sports, and that'swhy you get paid big money.
With credit comes criticism, and withhiring somebody, you should empower them to

(28:47):
make their decisions. Because if you'vegot a coat and tie on, you
stay upstairs. If you got auniform on, you stay downstairs. And
empower him to make decisions. Playersand coaches, let's go. That's the
way it works. And it's like, you know, oh, I'm not
going to read that one. Nevermind? Well was it was? It
was it about Oh I had aquote about criticism, but it's uh,
it's from it's from all one ofthe Clintons, So you're not going to

(29:11):
do that. Well that quote,let me just guess it. Well,
hey, uh, if you're notdoing the right thing by us, we'll
kill you. Is that what said? Hey, if you disagree with me,
don't have sexual relationships with that woman. Hey, oh you disagreed with
our family. Well it's ironic.But three days later, four of you,

(29:32):
you and I might be dead tomorrowbecause we talked about it. Now,
well you're going, what do youthink went in doubt? What should
we know? Just kill them?Take him out? Hey, what happened?
Well, it's weird that twenty sevenpeople's breaks went out their vehicle and
they all have a tie to that. Well, whoa okay, and you
know what's crazy. I'd kind oflike to have a beer with Bill Clinton.
Now Hillary could stay out of it. I'd like to go play golf

(29:55):
with Bill Clinton, just to hearthe stories. What the story value.
It's like they say about criticism,man, criticism, it is easy,
achievement is difficult. That's Winston Churchill. It's my guy, Winny. That's
win wind Dog, winn Winny Churchill. Except one, three, two point
two, five seven ninety the numberto join Robert Andrew. We'll talk to
you guys after the break. Let'slook at Frobber's outing. He got pulled
after just fifty nine pitches. Whatdid Joe spot to say about it next

(30:17):
on Sports Talk seven ninety. Backto the Sean Salisbury Show on Sports Talk
seven ninety sports, your astroids,your rockets, your voice. When is
enough enough? Andrew? What wouldyou do with jose Bray? You?
Oh, I tell him to takea high? You know, we had

(30:44):
a good career until he and hey, Andrew, Andrew. We got a
big echo from new speakerphone. Andrewflush the toilet and going to her the
front room. We good now,Uh we're a little better. Yeah,
a little better office. What's happening? Man? You're good? Go ahead,

(31:08):
finish what you're saying, Andrew.Anyway, Yeah, there you go
better. He is a puppet.He's he's being told what to do.
I think, and I don't know. I feel like when Dana Brown comes
on the show tomorrow, I thinkit's fair to ask when is enough?

(31:30):
I mean, uh, that's beenasked. It was asked a week or
two ago. When is enough?He said? Well, did he say
something about the road being closer?I mean we see the Yeah, basically
he said that there was gonna besome decisions that would have to be made.
Right. So, oh that that'llthe envelope will get pushed again.
There's no question about it. We'llsee where they go with it, though.
Yeah, I mean I just feellike, I mean, if he

(31:52):
couldn't and I know what he's gonnasay tomorrow, he's gonna be like,
well, we just got to gethot. We're gonna get hot, well
when it hadn't happened yet. Yeah, don't hold your breath on getting hot
for consistency for the season. Ithink this is who this team is this
year. Don't you Andrew that You'rejust gonna have to It's just gonna be
one of those grinding and trying togrind out wins, get some loose,

(32:15):
some play some good baseball, somegreat baseball, and some in between baseball
and some bad baseball, and haveto go on some huge winning streak down
the stretch to win and hope peopleare healthy. I think that's who they
are this year. I feel likeif they want to get hot, they
cannot do it with a brilliant firstbase. Now, if they want to
keep Singleton as a backup, I'mokay with that part, but you got

(32:38):
to find someone else to put theirfull time amen fact, and that guy's
playing in the minor leagues right now. In my opinion. Yes, sticking
there. Let's go appreciate the callAndrew good stuff. Let's keep it rolling
here on the phone lines and talkto Robert. Robert, what you got
on your mind about Joe Spotta.Yeah, so this reminds me. This
is taken right out of Moneyball,that scene where Billy Bean walks into Arthouse

(33:02):
office and says, I want tohad a burget first, had a burget
first, and art House says,well, I'm gonna make decisions that will
best help me during interviews of thisoffseason. And I think that's kind of
where Joe spot is. You know. The thing is I called in the

(33:23):
other day saying this, it cutsthe legs out from under him because not
only I mean not the facts arein, but enough rumors are in with
people that are kind of in theknow that it's Jeffrey and Jimmy Crane making
these decisions and it appears that way. And not only do I know this,

(33:47):
but the players know this. Imean, it cuts from a leadership
standpoint, it cuts his legs outfrom under him. Now end game decision
making. I've said it before.I have a gut feeling on what the
right call is. But there's somany variables. I don't I can't.
I don't know how to grade him. I feel like he's done a good
enough job and we just had tohit the ball and pitched in spots.

(34:08):
But from this is a complex situation. We're not we're not pitching in spots,
we're not hitting the ball. Andat the same time, our head
coach, I feel and it's it'sthis Groundhall day. We've been saying this
for weeks. He's getting his legscut out from under it. People that

(34:28):
are down on him. I don't. I don't understand that. I appreciate
the the banter and and going backand forth with this and hearing this on
the show that I don't. Idon't think he's getting a fair shot.
And when you when you have whenyou're not giving the lineup, he's not.
He doesn't have control over the lineup, that's that's a big, big

(34:51):
deal. So do you think it'snot a braak? You think? Do
you think the entire lineup card isbeing set by somebody else? So you
think Joe did do just Joe aspot deserve any criticism in some of the
decisions he makes in game, Ohfor sure. Again, yeah, I
said, but but I'll tell youthis, that a bray you thing.
Look how much we talk about it. That's a big deal, no doubt

(35:14):
those play those players know about it. And you know what, you're kind
of you're kind of not giving abrave you. You're kind of making them
look silly at the same time.Again, you Sean, you said this,
Brian, you said this, greatteammate. I'd hang out with the
guy all day long. I'd gohave a beer with him talking about a
bray you. But then I'm gonnacall Himjimmy. Jimmy and Jeffrey are saying,

(35:39):
there's nineteen million dollars a stick.We're gonna look silly if this doesn't
work out. Let's just let's justwrite this till it does. It seems
I don't know, is there isthere another explanation? And I think sometimes
we can think there's war going onthan that. That's probably what's going on.
And that's what I got. Hey, I'm in Brooklyn, New York

(36:00):
this morning. I'll tell you whenI talk to Yankees fans, talk to
them. Anytime I see a Yankee, said I I'll strike up a conversation.
They're still worried about the Astros.That's true. So that's what I
got. Guys appreciated Robert as always, Thank you, was the Astros.
I'd be this year a little bitmore worried about the Yankees and the Yankees
and the Astros with the product.But I get why they're still in their

(36:22):
head, no doubt about it.Team's talented, they're just not as productives
as they've been in the pass andthe inconsistency has been the best part of
their game this year. And whenI the inconsistency has been the most consistent
part of their game this year.Talented, yes, good team, Yeah,
they're okay, inconsistent. Does thatmake sense? Oh yeah, no,
kobay questions are talented? What they'recapable of? Oh, line up

(36:45):
on paper top shelf when you're onhere is in there? And Kyle Tucker
on paper top shelf. But theproduction, the production says average this year,
right, But it's just fact,right, Yeah, Well, the
production actually says below average the winsand losses. But we know what they're
capable of, but we can't keepsaying it to the point where we also
know what they're incapable of right now, and that's making a smart decision at

(37:07):
first base. Yeah, let's let'sreset and let's get into the seven o'clock
hour. Let's look a little deeperwith the jose A Braw situation, the
John Singleton situation. If it's notgonna be one of those two, then
who does it need to be?And when isn't enough enough for jose A
Braw and walsoll continue to take yourcalls at seven one, three, two
point two, five, seven ninety. Let's keep talking astros. Next at

(37:28):
Sports Talk seven to eighty KBM EHouston, KTDCHD two Houston, Whyheart Radio
Station, the exclusive audio home ofNBC's coverage show the twenty twenty four Paris
Olympics. How about the Masters theRocket. This is Sports Talk seven ninety,
your home for your home teams,driven by that classic elite to buick

(37:52):
GMC Studios for the elite car buyingthe experience. Saulisbury, old by Houston.
Okay, let's do this. SeanSalisbury to usc truth, longtime friend,
Sewn Salisbury, ryanl Lima, GoLobos. This is the Sean Salsbury

(38:15):
Show talking about these astros. Thestruggles continue, the inconsistency, Jose of
Bray you last night oh for three, hitting a buck twenty four. On
the season, he's hitting one sixtyseven since his return from West Palm Beach.
Team with runners in scoring position yesterdaywon for three from of Valdez.
Was not good. Four innings,pitched, eight hits, five and runs,

(38:37):
one k, one walk. Heonly threw fifty nine pitches. Alex
Bragman Jordan Alvarez both had two hits. I believe they had one extra base
hit and that was a double byJordon Alvarez. Everyone else had singles.
Jordon Alvarez had a double ana homerun. So he's uh swinging it pretty

(38:57):
well, hitting two ninety three,slugging five twenty one. It's ops of
over nine hundred, so he's gettingback to his ways. L two excuse
me, with a hit two ninetyfour average, slugging four forty three,
on base at three forty three.So a couple of guys swinging it well,
but they lose once again. They'rethirty one and thirty eight. Let's
get back out to the phone lineseven one three two point two five seven

(39:20):
ninety. Let's start with Carlos.Carlos, good morning, Hey, how
you doing, guys, what's goingon and what's on your mind with these
astros? Well, I'll tell youwhat. I you know, it's it's
a broken record, yes, butI don't the bashing that a Brady was
getting is I think is one sided. You look at the way the team

(39:42):
started. You know, we've hadbad luck with the rotation. I mean,
our our pitching staff is decimated,to say the least are the young
guys are coming through. But youknow what, when you started looking at
pointing fingers, what what did weWe've got? We got the first baseman
that's not hitting as well. Right, But you know here's the other thing
too, who's making these decisions?Who brought in a bray you? Who

(40:07):
got rid of who? We gotrid of Therves, we got rid of
standing, We're getting a new coach. We got all these changes going on,
and who's making who's doing moving allthe puzzles pieces around? And I
mean the thing is that you throwit all on a bray you that's a
cop out, man's because it's notus. Yeah we said earlier the day,

(40:31):
we said it every day. It'snot just one guy. But I
think that the regular chatter that I'mhearing and seeing is that they people want
to throw a braid down there andas the reason for this thing going down,
and it's I mean, it's justlike when the when the picture when

(40:53):
you got to relieve pictures at thelet's look at the beginning of the season
on that Yankee series, when yougot the closers that can come in and
do what they're supposed to be doing, and then you start getting our pictures
hurt. Me I say you,our pictures start getting hurt, and then
we lose people here and there forinjuries. It starts mounting. Given the

(41:16):
fact that it is what it is. But I mean, I just don't
the other It was a couple ofweeks ago when some of the fans started
booing a brave man, that's notus, that that kind of stuff has
got to not be happy in thein our stadium. Anyway, I'll shut

(41:37):
up and let you guys look.Thank you, Carlos. Yeah, it
is a it is a loser's lamentto just blame it on uh on Jose
Braile. He's part of the issue, but he's not the whole issue.
But I'll tell you what Alex Bregman'sbeen part of the issue this year,
you have it. Uh Y Diazwhen he went through struggle, been part

(41:58):
of it. From has been partof it. Justin Verlander has been part
of it. Back into the bullpenat times, Brian Presley has been part
of it, Joe has spot Hisdecision making at times has been part of
it. They've also been part ofthe good failing with runners in scoring position
part of it. And that's that'snoon dude. That's nine dudes, not
noon. Nine dudes in lineup firstbase, the first base position has been

(42:21):
part of it. You can pointto a lot of things, Yeah,
some more overwhelming or some more blatantthan others, but that whole process is
all part of it. I cantell you this this team right now.
You know, when you put afive hundred thousand piece puzzle out there and
at the end you're looking for fivepieces, you can't quite complete it because

(42:43):
one got on the floor, onegot stuck in the bottom of or fell
the other one right chewed it upa little bit. That's who they are
right now. Yeah, that's theteam right now. You just about four
pieces of the puzzle. Shy,that's decision making production. Did one or
two players an injury. There's yourfive pieces, and this team's so used

(43:06):
to being able to find every pieceto the puzzle the last seven years.
This year you may have to runto the storm by the puzzle again so
you can get the four extra pieces, and that may be the trade deadline.
It's right around the corner, Yes, sirs, Doctor Rob. Rob,
what's happening? What's on your mindabout the astroys? Good morning,
Jens. I'm trying and keep itquick as far as a brad who goes.

(43:27):
You know, everybody keeps saying foranybody that's calling in and saying,
we need to trade him, weneed to trade him. You know,
you guys will pretty much always havethe same answer, and I agree with
you guys. You can't trade aguy that's not worth thing. It though,
nobody's gonna trade for him, atleast not for anything that's gonna make
a difference on our team. Idon't feel. But the fact remains that
him being on this team and occupyinga roster spot is him cuffing Joe Aspata.

(43:53):
I've been pretty clear that I don'tagree with a lot of Aspata's decision
making on the field. I don'tthink his post games scored much confidence guy
seems lost at times, but thisis the fact that he has to deal
with a man with the first basementat that one of typically one of your
strongest offensive output positions on a roster. That's a handcuff to him, and

(44:16):
that's not on him. I don'tbelieve. I think we pretty much all
agree that that's coming from the frontoffice. And it always comes down to
the money. You can't train anineteen and a half million dollar player that's
playing like a one point nine milliondollar player. But within that may be
your answer, because if we can'tthat nineteen million dollars a year, it's

(44:37):
gone. But there's a team outthere somewhere that I bet you if we
went to them and said, look, we'll pay eighteen million, we'll pay
seventeen million, you just pay thenet. You just pay that too.
That's a little bit back that wecan get back and put towards other resources
to make that position better. Becausethe truth is, I'll take a five

(44:58):
hundred thousand dollars minor league pay rightnow to occupy that position. His name's
Joey Low Perfido. He'll come inthere and occupy that roster spot. I'll
take Singleton at first base every dayso long as little Berffdo gets back on
this roster and that spot opens up, and that's a little bit less money
out of the bank account that theAstros can get back in terms of spotted.

(45:22):
The next piece that I think he'smissing, that specific puzzle piece,
is the ability to manage up becausegoing back to my previous point, he's
handcuffed by the front office, notjust with uh, bring you, I
don't believe, but in some ofhis other decisions that he's being forced to
make, or better yet, thathe's not making. That should be his
call. Previous call of referenced moneyball. And one thing that I will give

(45:43):
h ard Hound credit for is hewouldn't have praid to tell the front office,
and honestly don't think Dusty was eitherthis is my team. I'm gonna
manage it the way that I wantto, the way that I see fit.
That's gonna get us the most winson the board that I know is
going to work, because what you'redoing a working. The numbers speak for
themselves, guys. Our best recordthis season happened when a Brandy was not

(46:06):
on this team. Thank you,Rob don't you think it? O?
Thanks Rob. Don't you think atsome point that if you are Joe Spot
and you want to establish even morerespect, not likability, screw likability.
I could give a fuzzy likability ifyou want respect. Isn't it incumbent upon
him to it at some point?If it is the front office making decisions

(46:28):
on their roster about who to play, isn't it coming upon him to the
set's gonna have to drop a littlefarther. He's just gonna have to say,
you're putting me in a bad position. I got to play, and
at times, just like Ardou didin Moneyball, write the lineup different than
what they say. If that I'mtalking about this is the if if somebody
on high is telling him, you'regonna play this guy every day. You're

(46:51):
the manager of a team at somepoint time great leaders. Great leaders are
the ones who have to take allthe fastballs to the head. It makes
sense so the rest of the guyscan thrive. Now, I'm not letting
the manager off the hook and sayingthat every decision you make he's handcuffed.
I don't believe. In the fifthinning, he calls upstairs and says should
I take the picture out so JoeSpotta doesn't get relief from all this,

(47:15):
Okay, he just doesn't. Andsometimes the best decision you'll ever make is
just a decision to protect where everybody, the optics of your players say,
damn, he made a decision andput his ass on the line with the
front office. I respect that,even if it's the wrong one. I
think you you know you're saying if, and I think you're on the same

(47:37):
page as me. I think we'rebeyond if. The fact that Jose Brady
continues to start at first base showsme that someone else is telling Joe A.
Spotta who to put in the line. And I guess my IF is
whoever? I don't know, andyou don't need to do it. I
don't know who it is. Andtell somebody until I'm looked in the face
and somebody says it's that guy,and tell the owner. Yeah, says

(47:57):
that guy makes ninety percent of thedecisions. I'm not I do believe it's
that there's there's there's some the abrave situation is coming from on high.
But I don't believe in the fifthend, when when you face a point
where you should have pinch hit forhim and didn't. That's not Dana Brown
right that game, that says JoeAspota fully, so we we can't.

(48:21):
We can't let him off the hookthat he I can tell you this.
Joe's got to ask himself, doI want to be liked or do I
want to be respected? And hemay be both, but right now,
you see the majority of right nowfans have an issue with some of the
decisions being made. And that's okay. Joe can't set there and manage a
team based on what you and Isay. And I respect that in him,

(48:42):
and he's and he's he's in hisrookie year. I get it.
But we criticize rookie players, andas far as first base goes, we've
been saying it. I can getmore production from Joey Loperfiedo than I'm getting
at the first base right now walkingup tomorrow from the triple A can He'll
hit one thirty in his sleep.Something's got to change, man, Something

(49:09):
has to change. Somebody's got tohave the stones to make sure it changes.
Yeah, and deal with the consequences. M wait for one of your
quotes. You've got to walk throughthe story I mean you do. You
got to you in order to goout and get the fruit on a limb,
you gotta be willing to get thefruits only you've got to be able
to take the wrist that the limbis gonna break. Basically, Yeah,

(49:31):
so you're saying, if the fruit'son the limb, you gotta climb the
tree. Well in order to reapthe benefits of what that fruit tastes like,
uh huh, you got to bewilling to walk out on a thin,
a thin limb to go get it, right. So basically, you
can't be overweight, you can't beas long as that's well, grab the
fruit on the way down and geta soft landing, right, because it's

(49:52):
it's worth the injury, right iffruit is worth the squeeze, and it
could be with the pH it couldtrue. Good point not to just say
it could be with if you Ifit's fat with the pH, then it's
worth going out on that limb.You know who? You know who else
is sitting fat right now with apH or a f pH Who the Houston
SaberCats saved. Yeah yeah, Houstonsabercatsdot Com SaberCats they play you feel pretty

I was gonna go Patrick can't,but U c l a Bruins through
that guy. Man, you can'tbe going with the Bruins. You know
he's been playing, eh, buthe's such, he's so long. Give

(55:00):
me Ludwig, Ludwig van Yeah,bears, okay, bear, Well there
it is us open. I believeit, save Aready. He might be
my weakest field, that's all right, could possibly be my weakest field.
But you know what, I wantedto think outside the biz ocks, outside
the box, because it's too easyto just pix like Scottie Scheffler like I
do every day. Yeah, youdude, can't this This sets up as

(55:22):
we know, we played with himat the at the program It Live.
Yeah, sets up big for CamSmith's name. Yeah, he just got
to drive the ball straight if hedoes. Look out around the greens.
Damn right, let's get back outto the phone lines. Holly, you
fired up about the strows a littlebit, a little bit, what's on
your mind? Well, this JoseBrady situation, when is enough enough enough

(55:45):
enough? Was two weeks ago hecame back Florida. That was just a
joke, That was just a show. He probably went down there and put
his feet up in the stand forfor a few days. He probably didn't
even swing a bat. I don'tknow. But when he came back,
they gave him a chance. Goodyou know, it's a good bit.
He's not gonna cut it. AndI don't know, if you know we
were talking earlier, there's no onewith some stones that would go to management

(56:07):
about this. I'm just wondering what'sit going to take for a couple of
these veteran players, because if we'reseeing this as fans, how frustrating has
it? Has it got to beto be an altube or a Berlander or
a bragman to go out there andbust your butt every day and then to
have I know, you want tobe a good teammate and you don't want
to say it to your face,but what about going to Crane, what
about going to bagn saying what areyou guys doing to us? Let me

(56:31):
ask you this? Then? Shouldshould we start putting criticism on leadership of
the players that they know that theydon't they haven't grown a set and gone
in there themselves in private, Ithink I think it's that time to do
that. I mean, how longare we gonna what's it going to take?
And how long are we going toput up with this? The fans?
I mean my second comment is asa fan, I usually go maybe

(56:52):
three or four times a year togames drop about you know, between the
LTMFO Cantina camp. I might andyou know, tow or three hundred dollars
a game. When I go inthere, I don't even watch the one.
We want to watch the one onTV right now. Much. Let's
go to spend money at a game, maybe to start backing Uncle Jim's bottom
line. Maybe he'll start, youknow, making other decisions. I don't
know. I'm just I don't knowwhat it's going to take. But when

(57:15):
I check the line up every dayand I see he's in there, don't
even want to watch the game.That's holly like your passionate. And I
don't think what Holly means is yougo in there and snitch on Jose Brady.
And you'd be hard if you're atwo hundred hitter to go in and
tell that they the two hundred hittersgot to you know, the one thirty
hitters got to play better or onetwenty four hitter. But I think there

(57:36):
comes a point in time when aleadership committee has to just say and maybe
they have and they're not. Idon't know that. Hey, we've got
to put the nine best out there. Have you ever thought suggestions are okay?
Then let the manager in the frontoffice make the decisions they make.
And I think that's what Holly suggests, and it maybe if you've exhausted other
situations, somebody does, whoever thatmight be step up and in a p

(57:59):
you don't want to ebarrass a teammateever, but you do have to get
to the bottom of are we playingour best nine? But the most important
part of that conversation Holly just saidwas one the money that's being spent,
and fans are probably going to getfrustrated and we've been spoiled around here.
But the real thing is L.L Temple Cantina. You had one of
their margaritas before. I'm in aMay Park. No, no, I'm

(58:21):
in park. No, I heardtheir gas not and not the minute May
Park. But I've had plenty ofthem in their restaurants and it is their
their foods. Is it the hook? Is it true that they put ever
Clear in their margeritas? Any ofour listeners ever had some l tempo margarita's
before. Let us know. Sevenone, three two. Back to a
birthday of mine years ago, abouteverybody in I heard, took a bottle
of ever Clear out the table andsaid, this is how we're going to

(58:42):
start your birthday part and it yeah. Together, there's three of us,
and it was gone in about thirtyfive minutes exactly. Then I put through
a trust I threw a match inmy mouth. Was a fire breathing dragon
the whole night, No, atleast I thought I was around this.
Wow, I can only imagine whatyour breath was sides literally straight fire fire,

(59:06):
holy cow. Ever Clear is awful. The magic dragon like the like
the little cartoon. Okay, yeah, puff the magic drag and live by
the sea. Yeah no, no, he put another table. I said,
and this was in my twenties.He put on the table and I
said, are you out in yourdamn mind? Maybe about thirty five forty

(59:29):
minutes later, all three of uswas like, yep, we're out of
our damn mind. Grab a caband let's go, because we weren't ubering
back then. So, yeah,I think the worst shot I've ever taken
in my life. One fifty one. That's that's literally what the like?
What the you know the the Bartendersthat put on the show where they light
stuff on fire and they blow itout like blah blah blah, they use

(59:49):
one fifty one to light it.Well, it's cut right. Oh,
take about take about three shots ofthat, and you're you're first of all,
and you try to go to thatmad. It could be twenty four
degrees in there and you'd be you'dbe sweat nothing, dry, heav god,
especially when you hear your buddy doingit after you actually had a burrito.
And then where are we going withthis? Yeah? I know where

(01:00:12):
we need to know. That wasa black bean stop. Nice feast of
lettuce. But ltemps fire them.Yeah it is no free pub though,
why not? No? Uh,they don't do anything for us on the
show. That's the last time theydelivered us. No wait, they do,
just kidding, Yeah, yeah throughoutthe station. Yeah, can I
get a tea? Yeah? LTfantastic it is. And there's one over

(01:00:35):
in my neck of the woods aswell. There's one two of them actually,
wow, check that out up inthe woodlands. Yes, there is.
You know about the wood dog.Come on, I've been to the

registered investment advisor, paid advertisement andwe're valor for the Sean Salisbury Show continues
talking about these astros, the strugglesof jose I Bray. You fromer Valdez
only throwing fifty nine pitches losing thatseries. See what you the Astro fan
have to say, Mike. Weappreciate you holding good morning. Hey guys.

(01:02:51):
You know, uh, I'm allI'm a big stat guy. Stats
don't wire. Uh, we don'thit well, we don't score runs,
we don't pitch. I mean,you look at the top five or six
teams, usually they're the ones thathave the best record. So that's that's
a given. The second thing isis that I saw it last year and
it's called winning fatigue after a whileteams. I mean, this run by

(01:03:15):
the Astors is legendary next to theBraves, And so what do you do
in this situation? Uh? Youknow, I get tired of hearing another
Braveer situation. We know that,but it's it's so more past them Brave.
You who plays first base? Uh? What you The only thing you
could do that I would suggest,and I'm not saying it's a guarantee,

(01:03:36):
but you would fire the coach.Not not because I think coaches really have
that much to do with winning andlosing, but I think it's more psychological.
The only guy you could hire atthis point in the middle season would
be Dusty Baker uh and the andthe second thing would be go out and
go get Valley the Blue Jays.You need a jolt. You don't need

(01:04:00):
a little band aid here and aband aid there, because you could put
Singleton at first and this team isnot going to be any better or worse.
You need a jolt for this teamto to get back into hopefully a
different mindset. But winning fatigue isit's tough. I mean, Salisbury,
you know that. I mean youcan't people think it's winning and just comes

(01:04:21):
easily. What the Astros are doneis legendary. One Mike, thank you
for the call I've said it to. First of all, you can't take
winning for granted. Winnings hard well. There's only been one other team that's
done it this long and modern Ithink in the recent years in the Atlanta
Braves. Right when I say modern, magematics Smoltz and they had one World

(01:04:43):
Series to show for it, butthey dominated time after time after time.
And you can you get to apoint where your expectations are this is who
we are all the time, itcomes to an end. Ask the New
England Patriots and they won six ofthose damn things. And the division after
division, I mean, their runis unpresent. It's not going to happen
again. Well, I take thatback, because the Kansas City Chiefs may.

(01:05:05):
I don't know if they're gonna winsix super Bowls and get to nine
in New England where Brady won hisseventh and went to his tenth in Tampa.
But it said that the Astros arein rarefied air. This is not
abnormal what's going on with them.Everybody faces it. What everybody doesn't face
is winning. Getting the seven alcsis in a row, right, That's

(01:05:29):
hard to do. So this isfairly natural. Flounder around a little bit,
and there is winning fatigue, andthink about how many different avenues you
got to go down to keep thatedge when you're the lead dog and everybody
you're getting there every single time.I'm not making an excuse for him at
all. I'm as frustrated as anybody. It's not just one guy. It's
a lot of things that have goneon, but nobody wants to hear excuses.

(01:05:53):
Seventy five to eighty games in right, as we pushed towards that midway
season mark, it just they justdon't But the winning fatigue, it does,
and how to find new ways todo it. They found a lot
of different ways to win over theseyears, and they're trying to find another
one. Can they sure? Dothey look like the same team pushing eighty
games in Brian that we've seen.No, But they don't have to look

(01:06:15):
the same. But they're gonna haveto finish a lot stronger and get a
lot done. This is the firsttime in seven there's been more ifs on
this team that I've seen in youknow, in in a long time.
If they can become healthy, ifthe rookie manager can step up, make
good decisions, if they will makeuh, if they'll get to the trade
deadline, if you know, ifBregman gets hot. There's a lot of

(01:06:35):
IFFs. Yeah, And when yougot that, you know how I feel
about that, dude. I've beensaying it for years with you. If
you've got too many ifs surrounding it, that's not a good thing. If
you right now, you can't namefive ifs on the on the on the
Yankees, And you can't name fiveifs on the on the Phillies, can't.
The only if on the Yankees rightnow is what are they gonna do
if one Soto can only hit rightand it's elbow issue, and about Garrett

(01:06:59):
Cole and Gary Cole, that's it. But other than that, they're gonna
go. You know, Judge wasstruggling early. Judge is playing Judge baseball
right. So it's this team hasLike I said, we don't play them
on paper. If we did,the Astros would be ten games in front
of first place. They would be, so the fatigue kicks in. He's
right, Let's get to a billreal quick. For the break bill.
What's your thought on Joe spottam ayear ago. Guys, if you had

(01:07:21):
a vault, you could pull upa month or a day in June.
The same conversation you're having involved playingJake Myer, Martin Maldonado everythinking day.
This town was in an uproar becauseMaldon's hitting ninety. But they keep trotting
them out there every time. Thisis the This is the exact same scenario,

(01:07:44):
just a different position problem. It'sa different different and it's not the
problem the Astros have given up.There's only three other teams in America.
You have given up more runs thanthe Astros this year. Three four there's
four. That's the problem. Thisproblem is is a pitching problem. And
you can play Joey lo Berbido,play anybody out there. This team's problem

(01:08:10):
across the board starts with the pitchingstarting, middle and relief and all bill.
When all is said and done,it'll be the pitching that either gets
You can hit two twenty and stillwin a division. Yeah, we've seen
it. Just take a snapshot oflast year pitching and this year pitching.
There's just nothing good about there's nothingreally collectively good about this year's pitching and

(01:08:34):
the way that's started with injuries andthe rest of it. In the in
the consistency, there's gonna have tobe about five dudes that have career years
from here on out or it's notgonna listen, the struggle is gonna We're
gonna have the same conversation in Augustbeing able to just be a different rapper,
Right, we just aren't with thisteam this year. You're one,
correct, Thanks, nobody's gonna walkin it. Nobody's gonna walk into a

(01:08:56):
spota to play somebody else, right, like anybody would have told Nobody told
Dusty Baker, you're going, Hey, you know We're not tired. We're
trying to seeing balda data out there. Can you play somebody else? Can
you play DS for us? Right? See you guys. I appreciate it.

Talk seven ninety look at these dorks, A lot of basic white dudes in
the later rhythm section. That's gottabe racist, maybe is it really isn't
really racist? What a guy reallyis? Just a basic white guy?
No, I don't think so.But good voice, but basic white dude.

(01:11:33):
I mean it's got to be racist, right, I mean this is
essentially what every basic white white guylooked like back in the seventies. Yeah,
they're hauling their luggage to an airport. Hey, there's six basic white
guys. Because my my god,rest my father's soul, he dressed like
this in the seventies. Well alldid, as they say, the bell

(01:11:56):
bottoms, oh yeah, oh yeah, and like checkered or really busy bell
bottom. Hey, as Ted Knightsays from Caddyshack, Well wow, we're
waiting well, yeah, what didthey My father, my uncle Gary,
my uncle Randy Michael Keith explained,how are the callers looking on their Oh

(01:12:18):
they're popped? Yeah, I meanthe front front front or the top button
unbuttoned. You got the hamburger meathanging out round beef. Yeah. Maybe
the guy all the way to thelot of button on the vest may be
undone on some of them. Thatthat was the style. The guy all
the way to the left. Idon't know who he is, which one
it is, but that looks identicalto my dad back seventy Maybe your dad
was. Maybe your dad was doubledipping on the side, fresh blue collar

(01:12:42):
during the day, Atlanta Rhythm sectionat night, fresh out of Vietnam coming
home. I mean, my gosh, now you know about the Atlanta Rhythm
section. Looks a bunch of basicright dudes for me? My god,
dude, three Swanson's seven ninety.Let's talk to Andy, then we'll get

(01:13:02):
to Bill and John. Andy.What's happening, Hey, Yes, you
know there's been some contract decisions overthe years of uh that are that are
that are eventually and what's happening now? Hamstringing this team? You know you
can handle one maybe maybe two badcontracts, but you've got seventeen million dollars

(01:13:27):
from the Colors, and hell,when the last time he's seen the field,
you've got nineteen point five million toeBrayho, So that's thirty six point
five he got eleven million to Montero, who you could pay a guy a
million dollars and get the same kindof result. That's forty eight million dollars

(01:13:48):
tied up into three players. Thatthat one guy could give you what the
one guy has given you in Monterofor a million bucks. That that's gonna
kill him. That's why you're notgonna see them sign Tucker for ten years.

(01:14:11):
And if Tucker wants ten years,he's just gonna go somewhere else.
But you can't keep doing this withthese contracts. That's forty eight million dollars.
That's two that's three starters. That'sthree good starters on your field.
Sixteen million a year this team,and look, this coach, he's gonna

(01:14:41):
lose his job and I believe DadaBrown's gonna lose his job too at the
end of the year. If theykeep doing what they're doing. I think
both of them are get fired atthe end of the year. I don't
see them both being here next yearif this outcome keeps up because running bray
who out there first base and notplaying Dubon who's that in three hundreds?

(01:15:05):
Who proved last year that he's aneveryday player. When he finally got the
chance to be an everyday player,he proved it. And this guy can't
get on the field as much assome of these other dead beats. I
tell you what, guys, it'salmost unwatchable. Appreciate the call. Any

(01:15:28):
Let's get to uh Bill real quickand John. I promise we'll get you
on the top of the hour.Bill, good morning. You haven't heard
anybody mentioned yet. I've heard ohoh man and they said want triple Can
you I put him on the whole. Can you get him real quick and
tell his connections about John? You'reup? Good morning, hey man.

(01:15:48):
Look, yeah, I got totell me something here. I thought you
was supposed to try and put thebest competity of team out day every day.
It's chance mccamick Curry, No,but Chas McCormick has not been swinging
it. Well, that's another guythat's having down here. He was banged
up a little bit but he's healthynow. Well, I know you're right,

(01:16:10):
Brian. Anytime a player just injuredand he's not playing for a while,
when he comes back more usually theystart off very slow. And we
saw that a Chess came back.He was a little over wave and he
was hurt. But Chass, yougot getting time to come around. He
didn't hit a little bit. AndMyers, you know I was down on
mys but mine's been giving us livesomething. I just feel like this man,

(01:16:32):
when you lose a game, youlose by two or or three runs
or even one run, and yougot a braid out there every day.
Myers. Oh, Chad McCormick,is you know that if they get one
hit in a game or one homerun, you could win that game.
I mean, A Braille is notgiving us anything his management, and I

(01:16:55):
can't believe, mister Grant. Ihate to believe that he's like this now.
I can't believe. Are they tellinghim us that they're willing to sacrifice
the season and and the World Seriesand everything because you have to pay a
grade you you don't want to payin this contract. You're saying, I
got to get something out of himif I have to pay him this money.

(01:17:17):
I mean, it's that more importantto you than making the playoffs and
and and and making it to theWorld Series. I mean that's what it's
looking like. Man. Uh,you know what y'all think about that?
Man, have a good one manYouTube. John. Well, we'll just
we'll discuss that as we get intothe eight o'clock hour. And we're gonna

(01:17:38):

So yeah, I'm working on aturn. Dog hold a little medicine ball

(01:21:23):

back. What's happening now? Hey, what's up? Guys? Come sitting

(01:22:09):
here laughing at brash he playing thatcut, clapping his hands. You know,
usually people say, come on,Brian, got that old that that
that deep in the tritches in thecountry barnyard. Yeah, yeah, that
the fake ass bitch ass enthusiasm.He doesn't even at the end of his
last clop that nobody's joining in.It's like doing the wave when nobody joins

(01:22:31):
and he kind of looks around andsays, damn, it is trash.
I gotta stop this song. Don'tyou grant grab a tambourine too. But
but but the lasting part is whenhe you know how people say, come
on, let's go. Brian gotthat that that Brian got that m in
front of it on that come on, come on. Yeah, that's the

(01:22:57):
one where he's trying to muster upenough bourbage to get it out of his
mouth that he knows it's trash.There you go, playing that cut.
We can't even call it a cut. Okay, that ain't even a cut.
Okay, you and I both knowit. Yeah, Brian, what's
peu? Come on? Come onman, I'm just tired that song just
gets me jacked up. Come on, trash ass, trash ass song off

(01:23:24):
my radio show. Yeah, butman, I got one thing. You
know you ain't got one thing out. But the last time you brought just
one thing to the table, you'rebringing a full full meal and you and
I both know what's on your mind. Well, well, I'm gonna just
say this. I'm probably gonna beopposite of everybody. But I didn't think

(01:23:45):
I'm crazy. But all I gotto say Sean is ghost rolls. And
I said it before. I saidagain, Brian, it's cool if we
kind of have to retool and havea down season. I mean, I
want to get bit out of shapewith it. We see the writing on
the wall shown. You know whatI'm saying. When you see the writing
on the wall, sometimes you gotaccept it. You know what I'm saying.

(01:24:06):
You can't do nothing. Things youcan't control. And they have to
take a look at theirself in themirror, from the owner onto the manager.
So they built this thing and they'regoing to have to fix it.
So that's the way I look atit. But I'm still rocking Strolls.

Reaching got your blood flowing, didn'tit? Sure did, didn't it?
Damn it? Man? A littlehot in here now there we go.
Gotta pull myself up under the outof the table, you know, get
a little bricked up in here.Seven one three, seven ninety. Tell
you, man, it's provocative.It gets the people going. Yeah,

(01:27:58):
it makes you horny, does it? Sure does. We'll continue to take
your calls on these Houston astros.But before we get to that, let
me tell you about Brotherly Love Electric, Burtherley Love Electric and their Briggs and
Stratton home generator stop waiting around forthe next big storm. There's already a
tropical system in the Gulf. TheWeather Channel dropping that news this morning could

(01:28:19):
be affecting the Houston area Monday,Tuesday, Wednesday of next week. We
know how it goes when these stormsroll through the city of Houston. You
lose power pretty easily. It sucks, but you can get ahead of it
and you don't have to worry aboutwhen the power goes out because your generator
is gonna kick on and you canget that. America made Briggs and Stratton
home generator for Brotherly Love Electric.Brotherloveelectric dot com three four six seven seven

Electric. It's a connection you cancount on. Lore Sean Salisbury on Sports
Talk seven ninety where Astros and Rocketsplay and real Texans talk. Adrian,
I bet these Astros make you wantto hit a spliff, don't they No,
it's when they're winning you hit thesplif to relax. He's like,

(01:29:47):
this is good stuff or you're justdoing it all. I don't know what
you got going on over there,Adrian, what's up? Yeah? That
sounds more sounds. That sounds alittle bit more like a well, not
a splift, but yeah, yeah, Texas is fine. Oh man,
I'm trying to get that visual ofa hit the spliff watching port Hub out

(01:30:11):
of my head. Hey, takeit easy, take it Easy's gonna wake
up the old lady. What's happening? Oh man? This team? Man?
Uh? My point is is thisanswers the question we've been asking since
the beginning of the season. DoesDana Brown get to do his job at

(01:30:33):
one This obviously tells us no.There is no way you can tell me
that he's watching. Jose'll bring youback like me trying to beat in an
MLB season and telling it going okay, Yeah, We'll keep sticking Jose in
there. Yeah, keep rolling himout there. There is no way there's

(01:30:54):
somebody in Crane's ears stopping Dana fromdoing his job. My point is is
when is it gonna start to fester? The All Star breaks coming up?
And fellas I'm telling you right now, be prepared. We're gonna get all
these no name at the bottom ofthe comments, but we're gonna start hearing
it all of a sudden. There'sbad management upstairs in the astros. There's

(01:31:17):
bad feelings in the locker room.This player says this, this player says
that, this player says this.I'm telling you it's coming and it's ridiculous.
This team should not be having thisproblem. Jose, I'll bray you.
Like Sena said earlier, this teamwas on the best record they've had

(01:31:38):
is while he was gone. Howmany games have they won. Since he's
been back, we could probably addhim on one hand. I mean,
come on, man, how hardis this picture to put together? Anybody
over there play tetris? Let's startputting the pieces where they go. Other
than that, Hey, it's almostfootball time in Houston. Song right along

(01:32:00):
with you, Sean. Don't youworry about it? Hopefully y'all don't play
it a uh one thing. Imean, he's right about a lot of
things. I can tell you thisif you ever wanted to know what will
challenge the structure or fracture the structure. You know how you talked about earlier.
The strength of the clubhouse has beentheir strength for the last seven years.

(01:32:24):
When you lose and start to hearall the stuff you haven't heard in
about seven years, guess what happens. That'll test it. I'm not saying
it's gonna it's gonna crack, butI'm just telling you, Adri about that.
You'll start, you make the whispersbecome a little bit louder, roars
about why this and why that,and you find the excuses start to rear
their head. And this team hasn'tbeen an excuse making team for quite a

(01:32:46):
long time. I'm not saying right, I'm not saying they will, but
it's going to be challenged if thiscontinues, not just to break. If
the team inconsistency production continues. Therewill be some there may already be some
whispers. You just got to controlthem so they don't become roars out of
your clubhouse. Right, You don'twant to get wanted to be And that

(01:33:08):
starts to fracture when that part startsto fracture. We can fracture all we
want here by giving our opinion,right, but when if you let that
inside there, let the old manin that, it's it's a tough time
recovering from that startor Randall, Randall, what's on your mind about the astros?
Oh man, that was a goodtheme song for Bring You Thank Your

(01:33:29):
Triple le And not only that,I think that the leadership is not there.
And I think leadership left when Dustyleft because I believe that he was
more of a motivator than a spoter. And not only that, I don't
think that, uh, the owneris just gonna up and make fast moves.
And you know, but the fansare angry at this moment, and

(01:33:51):
we need to do something because westill have the core of a championship team,
and I don't think that the Spidercan get those guys on tracks.
And you know, they've been playingbaseball. They know what to do,
but the motivation is not there.And come and sense and tell you why

(01:34:12):
would you bring in someone that's inhouse that never managed the team to manage
a team that was a game awayfrom going to the World Series. I
don't think that that was a gooddecision. And I don't think that Dana
Brown is able to make decisions becauseif he would have, something would have
happened by now. Just to calmthe fans down. But maybe next year

(01:34:38):
something to change. We'll get backon track. But you know, I
wrote them off for this year,but I just hope they bounce back next
year and I really hope that theycan make the playoffs. But we seven
eight games out now, so youknow, I appreciate you guys. Man,
y'all have a great show all thetime. Makes me laugh, and
hey, take care and have agreat weekend. We had one thing.

(01:35:01):
One thing with our listeners and stuff. They got such a great sense of
humor and great opinion. Is Ilike, I like to laugh and we
get some good laughs. We needhim at times, right, gotta add
some levity to a team that's strugglingright now, compared to quickness and brevity.
Yeah. You know what they sayabout humor? No, I actually
don't. What do they say,google a quote? Make one up,

(01:35:27):
just just make one up. It'slike my my good buddy. Uh.
Mark Twain said, humor is byfar the most significant activity of the human
brain. Life is so much easierwith a sense of humor. Man,
that's poignant. That's also Ee Cummings, do you call him what do you
call Mark toy? Which? Whatdo you call him? Empty pete training?

(01:35:58):
I love Randall too appreciate the comment. Got good laughs and good hardcore
opinion. Do you have some goodlisteners and callers? Do you ever think
that people listening to us that we'rejackasses? Yeah? Actually I take that
as a compliment. Like when youwere laughing saying, yes you guys,
we're just saying what summer feeling mywhole life? Oh yeah. Somebodies that

(01:36:19):
are listening are like, yeah,you're just a mahoney, right, Oh
yeah, there's no doubt, there'sno And I embrace it. It's a
term of endearment for me. Ifthey call in and say, man,
what do you know what they sayabout a leopard? Catchange the spot?
You ain't right, you ain't aboutthese two leopards are three of us.

(01:36:42):
Now, Now, TRIPLEY may bethe most normal one of the group.
He is, but he gets Triplehang on a little while, dude,
you're gonna you're gonna get pigeon holedinto this craziness. I got news for
it. But I'm okay with it, man, Yeah, I'm okay.
White If we're leopards. There's twobasic white guys and Triple A is a

(01:37:03):
panther whoa hit the races? Buthow that hit hit the racist? But
that stuff hit it does well,it's not like he's a polar bear.
Well why couldn't he be white white? Oh? Oh see how you stuck
that with it instead of a blackbear bear? Yeah, why could you

(01:37:24):
say tiger hit that? You hadto go for two basic white guys at
a And yes, that's right.See to be a tiger. Why why
would it be a panther? Becausepanthers and leopards hang out together in the
jungle. Everybody knows that. Yeah. Well, watch National Geographic time.

(01:37:46):
Here's what's funny about it. AndI watch regularly national geographics. You do,
I do? You know what I'msaying though, I think you're I
think you're just full of about eighteenpounds of crap. Okay, but nice
reach. You're already getting lumped intothe nonsense, the craziness you said you're
trying to you're trying to fight anythingthat has a leopard and panther the same

(01:38:11):
picture. Look, no, I'mserious. Check this out. The term
panther is used to refer a blackor dark colored breeds of leopards. They're
in the same class of cat.So why couldn't we all three be leopards?
That's got to be raised. Let'sgo to break. Tell me about

(01:38:33):
country boys once again. Tell meshow there you go. Tell me about
country boys. Okay, hey,locally owned and operated, not storm Chasers.
Is country boys roofing with a Kat the beginning and the Z at
the end. Again, locally ownedand operated matters to me, should matter

(01:38:54):
to you too. No job toolarge, too small, and their work
is done all over. They're willingto go anywhere anywhere in the Greater Houston
area. They care and their leader, John has done an unbelievable job.
And the second people here at Boomthey're making those calls to Country Boys Roofing,
they're going to help you navigate insuranceclaims. They are Texas wind Storms

(01:39:14):
certified and you know we get thatwin certaintyed and gaf's Shingle certified as well.
Let me reemphasize family owned and operate. And I want you to understand
something now. Sometimes you'll get alittle bit of discount on some things from
some people. If I told youyou were going to get a thousand dollars
discount if you mentioned my name SeanSalisbury, one thousand dollars, I think

(01:39:35):
you probably do it, especially whenyou're going to get the quality work.
The Country Boy's Roofing is going togive you one thousand dollars discount when you
mentioned my name again. All thestuff that you have to go through,
let Country Boys Roofing help eight threetwo seven three one fifty six twenty eight
three two seven, three, onefifty six twenty and one thousand dollars discount

(01:39:55):
from Country Boys Roofing. It's stormseason and it's coming. Country Boys roofs
Thing LLC dot com mentioned my namefor a thousand dollars discount. Don't wait.
The Shawn Salisbury Show continued. Ifif, if I'm dude, my
recall might be good. If it'she and Patti LaBelle am, I on
my own, Yeah, hit thatone. Oh you can't, can't,

(01:40:16):
can't? Can you hit it onyou? Yeah? Little Michael McDonald's you
hit the Michael Bolton for next,next one? Oh gosh, could he
have a bigger Adams Apple? Probablycould? He? Probably goold? So
get back out to the phone linestalking about the astro seven one, three,
two five seven, Well, goodmorning, thanks for rolling, uh
so before I get to the astrosguys, Good morning, Yeah, your

(01:40:42):
last, your last talking about her? Gosh, dang man tripley put him,
put him on hold. I don'tknow what's going on with our connection.
Let's try Ronnie. Ronnie's been holdinga long time, Ronnie, thanks
for holding. Good morning, Goodmorning, guys. I've been on so
long, I've almost forgotten what Iwas gonna call about. But sometimes some
times, Brian, your lack ofrecall and lack of knowledge astounds me.

(01:41:03):
I don't know how you got towhere you are, not knowing what,
you don't know? Whoa what doyou know? What are you referring to
the music of the Doobie and alot of stuff that Sean brings up that
I know. I knew when Iwas thirty five years old, and you
ought to know now. Yeah,and I'm looking at you. But anyway,

(01:41:26):
you got to learn. You gotto learn, Ronnie, Ronnie,
That's that's why Sean's a mentor.You know. You got to learn.
So instead of, you know,bringing the negativity like you just did,
you could be like, hey,man, you know, I'm Brian.
I'm really glad your lack of knowledgeis getting helped by Sean because he's doing
a solid you know, but he'llcome on you basically said I suck and
you have no idea how I gothere. Instead of seeing the glass half

(01:41:48):
full and then I'm learning on thefly. Yeah, well it helps me
makes me realize that even though thingsI've forgotten, maybe I haven't forgotten as
much as I thought. Well,there you go. See it's help where
you helped me. I help youscratch your back scratch there you go,
exactly right, and well regard tothe well Roddy's smirking under his breath.

(01:42:09):
Right with regard to the Astros.I and I'm not saying they're gonna come
back and do what they did.I mean, I've been an Astros fan
all my life, you know,because I grew up in Houston. In
nineteen sixty nine, they were fourand twenty in April. Don Wilson pitches
a no hitter on May the first, which brings them back into focus,

(01:42:30):
I guess. And they were twentyand four in May, and sixty nine
was the first year they got toprint World Series tickets in September. So
I'm but I'm not saying that thisteam is gonna gonna do it. And
there's thirty eight million reasons why they'renot going to do it this year.
And his name is jose O Braja, whatever his name is. And and

(01:42:53):
with regard to the Astros, herecome the Astros or there go the ass
Go go Astros. Yeah, there'sanother fight song that somebody tried to put
out a few years later, andit started and I don't remember the name
of it, but it started offwith the kids train whistle. You know.
It's I think they put it outwhen Minute made or Ron. We

(01:43:15):
love Astros in Houston, is it? And all across the loan stor might
be is that might be Let's startwith the train whistle. I think so
yeah, Houston loves the yeah stro. We got wrong. We got Ronnie
with the hidden gym, the voicesinging yep, oh yeah. I just
turned my chair around, Ronnie voice, just turn around. There you go.

(01:43:36):
Another thing when you think of it. When I think about fight songs
and show you how much old schoolI am, I can't think of fight
songs with guitars and parts of chordslike in that one song you know,
go go Astros. I don't thinkof fight songs. I think of college
bands with eight hundred members playing brass, you know. And I think that

(01:43:58):
makes me think of something you got. I thought to do on Fridays when
college football season starts. Fight SongFriday with your bump music by the USC
fight Song, Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas Michigan A and M fight song,
you know the Texas Tech. There'sall kinds of fight songs you can
use as your bump music when youcome back from breaks on foot on fight

(01:44:19):
Song Friday, Ronnie, you knowwhat, we'll give you credit for it.
I'm an executive decision. Every Fridayduring college football season. It will
be we we will mix in fightsongs around the country, maybe if somebody
guesses it, if we get ticketsor whatever, or have some fun.
But we will play fright song Fridayall through the football season this year.
Fair enough, Yeah, guaranteed thatsounds good? All right? I want

(01:44:42):
to know one more thing quickly,because I don't always agree with your humor
or attempt at humor, but Iwill yeah, not attempted full on humor.
Humor. Humorous is humorous is rightnear the funny bone, which gives
the ratio a chance to have afull radius of you know everything. So

(01:45:04):
so remember that. But I wantto know what brand of coffee you guys
drink in the morning, because Iwant to try it. Spindle tap We
don't tell I'm serious, somebody coffeeon the planet. We don't drink coffee.
We just bring this energy, naturalenergy, naturally no no, but
if you want great aranie, I'mserious, look at a spindle tap coffee.

(01:45:26):
It'll change you. Give it ago. They do they? Because
I'm lazy, Do they have pods? You know for your coffee? You
know that. I don't know ifthey come up with pod ject because I
I just just the beans and Ijust I do it in my own so
you just want to throw the Yeah, I grind them up. So I
used to grind. I used togrind it, and you know, buy
fifty kinds of coffee and go toSpecs and grind my own. But I

(01:45:48):
don't do that any You'll love this, And you know what, maybe that's
a great suggestion. Maybe that's thenext step for them to find the pods
for their coffee. Maybe they havethem, and I don't know because I
like to grind it part. ButI'll do a little research for you,
brother, and let you know.Okay, man, I'll give you a
hollered. You know, you knowhow how often I call Yeah, we

because of our energy, and youwent straight to spend. He wants he
loves coffee. And I'll tell youthis, it's not even endorser. It

(01:46:30):
goes deeper than that, Okay,deeper than just an endorser. And I'm
being serious here. It is family. Okay, I know I'm kidding.

my pillow dot com and don't forgetthe codes Alsbury. Right, you're back.
This is the Sean Salisbury shown.Get back at it. That's all
right, I got you. Nowkeep grinding, brother, I grind my
sleep dog. Here you go,dog, Steve, appreciate you holding.
Good morning. Hey Michael McDonald,Right, that's that guy out saying her

(01:48:18):
but anyways, sing legend, legend. Oh yeah, And that was like
the same thing when Michael Jackson outsangBrigney Spears. Remember that that was,
you know, and then Elson johnout sang the other guy can't remember his
name. It was back in eightyforty five. But okay, so here's
my question. First base, wouldthey consider Jake Myers at first base?

(01:48:39):
And if I'm if my memory servesme correct, and I'm a little older
than you, Sean, but itseems like they got rid of the sky
named Guriel and they were getting productivitythere and they wouldn't pay him. I
know he's probably triple a now withAtlanta because they just read that. But
if he would, he had chemistryhere, he would have still been producing.
And I'll hang up, and Iwant to hear what you say about

(01:49:00):
that about Myers and should they haveblown all them? Of course not Now
it's easy to say that. I'msure quarterback. Don't blow the money on
a Brailler, but Jose Abrea,but with Gurrill would have fit in?
What should they have paid him?Or can they put Myers at first or
bring up Laperdivill. I'll let youdecide for all that. Thank you,

(01:49:23):
thanks Steve. I don't well.First off, I Guriel was not swinging
the bat well at the end here, so he was him and a bray
you at one point, uh,Guriel last year with the Marlins was swinging
it worse than Jose a Brady.Yeah, now that we looked up the
stats day in and day out.Steve's right about beloved teammates chemistry. I

(01:49:47):
think Braill is like like by histeammates and that feels that way. And
Guriel was just here longer and duringchampionship runs as well, But I think
it was time to move on fromhim too. Now, if you're looking
back the hindsight part of it,would you have rather kept Guryell and got
production there with a Gold Glove caliberplayer at first Mace? Sure, sure,
but you weren't going to get greatproduction with the bat anymore. To

(01:50:10):
me, the answers right now fornow sits in triple A. Sometimes you
just got to take the step inthe leap and let a young player grow
through this like you did when KyleTucker struggled early, played through it.
Now look at him. I'm notsaying low Berfeedo's Kyle Tucker, but he'd
be athletic around first base. He'splayed it, and I can guarantee he'll

(01:50:31):
out hit both of them at somepoint. He just will, and even
if he struggles early on, Justlike you allowed a veteran to play through
it, you allow this kid toplay through it and getting knocked in the
face a few times in a badthing, because then you test the guy's
metal early in his career. Ijust to me, they're at the stage
now. We keep saying, don'tpanic. You're at the stage when you've
got to make hard decisions, notthree weeks, not in three months now.

(01:50:54):
And that's one of them. AndJake Marers is never playing first.
That's never going to happen. Let'sget to John real quick and well get
to the top of the hour.John, welcome in. How are you
doing good? In mind? Okay, everybody's there. That's Jose of Ray.
Things getting kind of old here.Uh what about the third base position
when mister Bregman is out? Whatare they going to do with that?

(01:51:18):
You you mean if he doesn't comeback, I mean if he doesn't come
back, Yes, sir, thatthat position is important too, you know.
And they have to find somebody tofeel that they're either going to play
a young guy in house or gooutside the building and find a veteran.
I know that's but somebody, Idon't know. Will you elevate somebody like

(01:51:41):
you did payin you that they feelin the minor leagues can come in and
step in and do that, orand doesn't Cavi he's played third third base
as well. Maybe it's and ifyou lose or if there's somebody available in
a free agent or treatment, maybeyou bring somebody else in. But I
think we're all prepared for the factthat Alex Beregman may not be here.
And yeah, I was thinking ofthe other subject that you all touched on

(01:52:04):
the other but a catcher, youknow, well good catcher like you're there,
Melina. They need to establish authorityaround the home plate. You know,
Hey, nobody's gonna push me around. I'm not going to push him
around. You know, that's thedeal there, you know. And that's
one of the guys that should takeover and lead the you know, the

(01:52:25):
team. Yeah, there's a gap. There's a gap. There's a gap.
And Steve Sparks had mentioned in theleadership, Uh, when you lose
that much leadership, there there isa gap there. And not real sure
who that guy is that if youhad to put you know, your fist
down on the table or command theroom, who's that guy in the clubhouse?
And I think we're all trying toscramble around find out who that is

(01:52:45):
right now? Yeah, it's amad scramble though. Well you guys have
a good greg, good one thisweekend, and you'll take care all right,
appreciate it, John uh Sean,Actually, Trey Cabage has never played
third base. Didn't we have didn'twasn't there? Didn't we talk? Didn't
people suggest that he could fill inat third base? The corner guy.
Yes, yeah, a corner infielder. I remember when they brought him,

(01:53:06):
saying, well he can play somethird base. But okay, so at
the big league level, he's neverplayed third base in the minors. Five
seasons in the minors, he's playedUh, he's appeared in seventy two games
at third base. Well, thenhe's played it. Yeah, so sorry,
I was just looking at the majorleague appear it was. Yeah,
I didn't and I didn't expect thathe he hadn't had much major league experience.
Well here and the third base whatis he less than two hundred games

(01:53:28):
in the major leagues? Oh?Yeah, way less? Yeah exactly.
So, yeah, he's only playedin let's see, in his career twenty
two thirty one, like thirty fivegames in the big leagues. In his
total big league career. Yeah,okay, so there you go. Yeah,
so in the miners his main positionhas been outfield and then first base,
right, But he's played seventy plusgames in the minors, no at

(01:53:51):
third base, at third base,yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well that tells me they believe hecan play third base. Yeah, that
was with the Angels, right,and how many? So he didn't play
a lot of major league games withthe Angels either, So I would have
thought he was somewhere around one hundredtotal games. But he's not even at
fifty games total. So but alot of games in the miners that playing
third base, right, thirty eightgames in the major league's total in his

(01:54:11):
career. Okay, so both places. So and what's he in his mid
twenties yeah, okay, so there. If you're gonna try to develop somebody,
you're gonna have to look somewhere withminor league experience because you're not gonna
go you're not gonna give you know, let Bregman walk without making sure you're
covered there, correct, Yeah,or at least hoping you are with a
young player. And I don't knowwhat they'd go spend in a veteran to
go get who's gonna be available.That's another thing got to come up.

(01:54:33):
If you're gonna give up on howyou're gonna replace him, you always hope
that you can. If you're gonnalet Carlos Korea walk that, there's a
Jeremy Payne behind him. Same thingthere, is it Cabbage? Is it
somebody else in the double double Alevel or triple A that can step in?
Or is it a guy like Cabbagewho's played a significant amount. I
guess it's seventy games in the minorleagues at third base, So I don't

(01:54:55):
know where it's coming from. That'snot the biggest issue right now. You'll
deal with that when you deal withwhat you're going to do with Redman.
First, all right, let's getto the top of the hour, and
let's look at the NBA Finals gamefrom last night. Brian Windhors, senior
NBA analysts, absolutely torched Luca Donchetsafter his cry baby effort in game number
three. That's next to Sports Talkseven and eight kbm E Houston ACDHD two

(01:55:18):
Houston My Heart Radio station, theexclusive audio home of NBC's coverage of the
twenty twenty four Paris Olympics. Thisis Sports Talk seven ninety The Astross the
Rockets, Rockets Fall, your homefor your home team, driven by that
classic Elite to view a GMC Studiosfor the elite car buying experience. Saalsbury,

(01:55:47):
ol Salsbury, Houston. Okay,let's do this. Sean Salisbury to
usc true longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Bryan l Lima, Go Lobos.
This is the Sean sALS Very Show. A little programming note, we're gonna
have Astros general manager Dana Brown.He'll join the show tomorrow at nine to

(01:56:11):
thirty in the morning. We talkedall Astros for the first three hours of
the show. Fromer Valdez did notpitch well yesterday, lifted after just fifty
nine pitches. He only lasted fourinnings, gave up eight hits, five
runs, one k, one walk. Bregman with two hits, Jordan Alvarez

(01:56:31):
with the only extra base hit actuallytwo of them a home run and a
double. Everybody else hit singles.They had nine hits, but it did
not work for the Houston Astros.Jose bray bray You continuing to struggle,
oh for three, came up latein the game, hit into a double
play, Trey Cabbage getting some timein right field, he had a hit.
We talked about the Astros all morninglong. Well, the MAVs lost

(01:56:54):
last night, and after the game, Brian Winhorst, I mean, one
of the NBA senior rider analysts coveringthe NBA for so long, he torched
Luka Donchetz of the Dallas Mavericks.And this is how it sounded. Luca
and Kyrie combined for actually more thanTata Brown did, but Luca fowls out
late. I just wonder your reactionto that whole sequence. Yeah, I

(01:57:18):
thought it was perfect that Luca fellonto the ground there in an unacceptable position
to put himself in with four minutesleft with five fouls, and then immediately
looks at the bench and says,you better bleeping challenge it, as if
it's the bench's fault that he justmade a terrible play. I'm standing here
in the Mavericks tunnel. Over thereis the Celtics tunnel. That's where the
winners are. If Lucas ever goingto be a winner coming out of this

(01:57:40):
tunnel here, he is going tohave to use this have what's happened in
this finals as a learning experience.His defensive performance is unacceptable. He is
a hole on the court. TheCeltics are attacking him. They are ahead
in this series because they have attackedhim defensively. And you've got a situation
here where Luca's complaining about the officiating. They have begged him, they have
talked with him, they have pleadedwith him. He is costing his team

(01:58:01):
because of how he treats the officials. He's a brilliant player, he does
so many things well. They arehere because how he did. His performance
in this game is unacceptable and thereason why the Mavericks are not going to
win. He's got to get overthis. And the fact that he came
out after the game and blame theofficials showed me He's nowhere close yet.
So maybe over the summer somebody willget to him, because nobody with the
Mavericks or anybody else in his lifehas And that's where the Mavericks are at

(01:58:24):
this point. They're never going toget to this tunnel with the trophy if
he doesn't improve those aspects of hisgame. The white Horse, I'll leave
it right there. I appreciate yourtime and this series. You think we
get to a game by Monday orno. I think Scott SVP was like
damn Windhorse went all in. Here'sthe deal. Dantich is a phenomenal offensive

(01:58:46):
player. Phenomenal we've seen that moviebefore, does the name? Why am
I losing my mind? Carmelo Anthonyring a belt to get a shot anytime
he wanted to do it and notexactly dedicated on the defensive ended times we've
seen this. It's not just sometime. There's a lot of guys right
well, we saw right here guycould score it will and Will Tidd in

(01:59:10):
big time playoff games and didn't playdefense. And he's a left hander who's
here. And James Harden we've seenthis movie here with Dantage. It's real
simple, ran and it is.He is a I confess he did it
guy. To the referees, it'salways their fault. Everybody keeps saying,
put a guy with him, puta guy with him. They put some
guys add Porzingis with him at onepoint he ended up getting hurt and now

(01:59:31):
he's on the team that's going towin the NBA Championship. They got Kyrie
Irving with him and that at timeshas worked. That got him to this
point. And they've been to thispoint. He's like the quarterback in the
league who's the statistics guy but missesin the clutch and doesn't lead the right
way, and they get to Januarybut don't get it all, don't win
it all. Now he's in thefinals, so he's gotten to the super
Bowl, right, meaning the NBAFinals, And here he is, but

(01:59:56):
down three, this series is over. You and I, both of Celtics,
are not losing four in a row. With the way they played defense,
defense and defend you and the wayJalen Brown, who's the most valuable
player in this series, the waythat they play, they're winning the series.
So that the Mavericks are done whenit comes to I don't know if
they'll get through four, but they'renot winning for in a row. So
with that in mind, here withLuca, and he does a lot of

(02:00:18):
complaining, but the I confess hedid it. He is a on the
defensive end and on the on thechatter you're playing with four cats, right,
he's a defensive liability and he putshis team because he's more interested in
blaming officials than he is going outand doing the stuff on the defensive end,
and there's a whiner part of him, and I'm not listen. I

(02:00:40):
think he's a phenomenal talent and aphenomenal offensive player, but he's a liability
in a couple areas of the game, and one talks too much to the
officials in two, does not playon the defensive end. And we've seen
the movie in the NBA before.Guys like him don't win NBA championships.
They just don't. I mean you, if you watch game on the defensive
end I'm talking about, I mean, every defender went right past him.

(02:01:03):
Offender you may, I mean everyevery defense sorry, every every offensive player
went right past Luka, donciz seeto me, defense is not talent effort
completely. If you can handle abasketball and shoot and get your shot on
the offensive end like he does,you can move your feet, drop your
ass, put your dog on,getting a defensive stance, and play defense.

(02:01:27):
Defense is simply attitude and effort,period. I know a lot of
guys who are there there. We'veprobably played with him. You may have
played with him in high school,watched him in college, see him in
the NBA that are supremely gifted athleticthat just refuse to play defense, and
then you get the guy who's thescrapper who does it. There may not
be his talent that says I'm gonnamake my living on this end. Then
you're there. You get the guywho does it on both ends. Lebron's

(02:01:49):
done it before, Kobe Bryant,Michael Jordan. Hell, you can play
defense with effort and attitude. It'slike your own attitude. You can control
your own attitude that's on you.Defense has zero to do with talent.
It has everything to do with effort, want to. And it appears to
me that at times you've got tocoach effort on the defensive end when it

(02:02:11):
comes to him. And guess whatwhat do I always say? I'm never
and neither should anybody else in thehistory of the game coach effort. If
Luca wants to be an NBA champion, he's gonna commit to a few other
things, not just scoring the basketball, which he does better than anybody in
the league. Right now, youknow they have stats for everything, right
Yep. They have a highest blownby or blow by percentage in the NBA.

(02:02:33):
I like that stat? Why andI'm not really hung up on a
Brian That's a stat that tells meyou're just a lazy puke on the defensive
end. Highest blow by percentage allowedon drives in a series, minimum ten
drives per game defended over the lastten years. Luka Doncic this series sixty
seven point seven percent this year againstthe Clippers, sixty five point two percent

(02:02:58):
this year against the Thunder fifty ninepercent. You know what it says,
the three highests You know what ittells me in the history of the league
in the last ten years. Tome, you're simply just saying to your
teammates, I don't care. Forgetwhat you're saying to the fans and everybody
else. You're looking at your teammatesin the face and saying, I'm too

(02:03:19):
good on the offensive end to carewhat you four do on the defensive end.
And to the to the coach,it's a cold hearted slap, disregard,
disrespectful way to play the defensive end. Listen, as good as he
is on the offensive end, itstill doesn't make up for his lack of
effort on the defensive end. It'sit'll make you puke, it's it's it's
ridiculous, it really is. Andthen for him to flop on the ground

(02:03:41):
and look at his bench and screamat him. There's some I confess he
did it in Luca Dantis right now, and it's sad thing in this case,
and some of those things have followedhim around in the league already,
and his reputation for being a scorer. When your reputation for being lazy on
the defensive end exceeds your skill seton the offensive end, you got a

(02:04:02):
problem because just as good as heis on offense, he's just as brutal
on defense. Uh. Guess withthe this is fresh fresh off the press,
guess who the Lakers are officially gonnainterview for their vacant head coach.
It's probably J. J. Reddick. That's exactly who it is. Adrian

(02:04:23):
Ojen, ask you reporting on that? We call mom. This shouldn't shock
you. What a joke, man, Oh my gosh, what you gotta
go on TV say a few thingsand you can get the Lakers job right
now? What a freaking joke.So they couldn't get it. They couldn't.
You know, they didn't want tostick it out with Darvin Ham.
They didn't want to. Obviously theymissed out on Dan Hurley. So now

The listeners and myself and triple A, Triple A a disservice. I'm never

(02:06:36):
gonna leave you guys hanging without gettingit. At least the attempt to get
answers that we all need, yeah, or actually desire, whether we need
them or not. That's one thingwe do need them, like like yesterday.
Yeah gotcha, Yeah, Okay,we need it like we need air
brother brother got it. Let's getback out to the phone line seven one

(02:06:57):
three two two five seven. Iwill start with Terrence. THEE gets John
Terrence, what's up. Good morningguys. Uh. I heard you all
talking about the El Chimpo Marguerite isand ever Clear, but I think Brian
because I've heard the same thing.But I'm pretty sure it's El Patio on
West Timer and they have ever Clearin them. And then they'll do they'll
do the blue ones with like bluecurs out and those things will knock your

(02:07:20):
socks off hard pass on those then, man, Yeah, we'll see you
later. But I heard you alltalking about like analytics stuff and just the
all the acronyms they come up withwith war and battit and and then I
saw a new one. My cousinwas telling me there was a new one.
Uh. It was like b Of A or balls on for basketball

(02:07:42):
balls on floor average, like theamount of times they dribble versus passing both
of Yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah. You see,
give me the right hand. That'sa weak effort, man. That
was that was fit for it.That's all right though, that's all right
though. Hey, you know youjust took he took the golden sub braro,

(02:08:05):
you did. Yeah, rig hisass up. I was hit.
I was hitting for the cycle therefor a second. Listen, Oh you
know what he's doing right now.So you want us to look at the
back of your baseball card, Terrence, we probably his domination was so good
for you. Well, we doneed to look at the bag that was.

(02:08:26):
That was like Jose Bright his uh, you know efforts right now.
I don't like it, but youknow what, hey, sometimes you know
you what you did? You justwaved the ball outside the strikes on a
non competitive pitch. It's all rightthough. If you put up good numbers,
you've had a Hall of Fame run. Okay, you really have Hey,
just go back, Hey, goback, hit the cage. We're
sending you to West Palm and we'llsee in about two weeks. Take a

(02:08:50):
little time off. I appreciate it. I love you, bro, thank
you, uh ready for a wealthof based useless baseball knowledge. Yeah,
it's uh as I as I scrolledthrough my Willie Mays thoughts today, and
I scroll through my Willie Vance.All right, let me talk to John
before John, Hey, what's goingon? What's up? What's up?

(02:09:20):
Hey? Look at Uh. Idon't blame pol Joe. I really don't.
I think he's just doing what he'sbeing told to do. I think
whatever he do, they tell him. Look, whatever you do, don't
do it like Dusty did it youdid. I don't care what it is,
because Dusty was a winner. Dustywas more than just a coach,
a winning coach. He had acoach and he built them young boys he
called him when they were young.He taught him how to win. He

(02:09:41):
taught him how to be world champions. But if Jim Crane want to go,
fuck, if he want to win, you can't let X ball players
come in in and run your establishment. That's how he got a bureirod on
first base. That's how he gotthere behind Jeff backwell, out of the
car, back of the car kindof stuff. You got the go back
to letting your coach coach and letthe outside noise get out the way.

(02:10:07):
Because the outside noise even though he'sa businessman. He's doing a lot of
stuff, but he don't have time. He got people around him that's gonna
they're not doing him no good.Wherever they are general are, they're not
doing him no good service. Soden O Brown, the coach, all
of them, they just filing ordersand until they get some quiet that they
didn't never have an experience manager,because the experienced manager gonna come in there

(02:10:30):
and run his ball team like hewant to run it. And upside of
the people up high, they ain'tgonna be able to have no voice.
So if he want to have agood team going in the next year,
he's gonna have to cut tie withthe boys up behind around him up there,
and he gonna have to go withhis coach and where his coach want
to coach. Because the boy learninga lot of stuff behind Dusty Baker,

(02:10:50):
but he ain't getting a chance toput it into action because he's being told
what to do. I'm gonna hangup and listen, guy, appreciate it.
John Man. If he's being allthe things, I don't I know
what John's saying. But in themiddle of a game, that's Joe Spotty's
decisions, right I don't think.Yeah, I don't think that the in
game management has anything to do withNow. Is there been a mandate on

(02:11:13):
high that when a Braves don't pinchhit for him. I can't imagine somebody's
saying that, But that is aon the field Joe's spotted decision. At
the times, you're gonna have tomake those on your own, and I
would imagine he does most of themon his own. But going into a
game line up who to play andwhy they're playing him, I don't doubt
there's during those meetings they have anudge towards we'd like to play this guy.

(02:11:37):
But there still has to be someaccountability on Joe's part of what he
writes in that lineup card and whohe pinched hits for, and who he
runs in and out of the bullpenand all those things that come to fruition
he's got to take. There's gotto be accountability there, and sometimes he
may have to just say, evenif there is a mandate saying you're going
to play this guy, he mighthave to step outside the box and say
not today, son. He mayhave to do that on the table.

(02:12:00):
Yes, that's exactly right. Youfind that knowledge. Yet you know what
it's. It's a Willy Mays andI thought I saved it, and I'll
have to look it up. It'sjust basically Willie Mays's ability, his home
average and away average in his career, in his twenty long, twenty three
or twenty five year career, andthe home runs at home and on the
road. His splits, dude,are so friggin good. It's like three

(02:12:24):
hundred plus at home, three hundredplus on the road, three hundred plus
home runs at home, three hundredplus home runs on a road because he
hit like six hundred and sixty homeruns in his career. He I mean
the guy to my for me,the best player, the all best,
all around player in the history ofthe game. I don't know how he's

(02:12:46):
not. I know, Babe,Ruth, what he did and what he
meant for my money. I don'tknow if there's ever been a better player
than him, honestly got onto offenseand defense. You look at his home
runs at home on the road,and I don't know why I thought I
saved it, but I must nothave of But just thinking about people,
I'm not comparing any the astros,but I always liked those gyms that come

(02:13:07):
up say just how consistent. Wetalked about the inconsistency of this team this
year, and they've been really goodconsistency over the years of running into World
Series and being dominant. Willie Mays'sconsistency on the road and at home make
him as good as we've ever had. He hit three hundred and thirty five
home runs while playing at home,three hundred and twenty five all on the

(02:13:28):
road, and his batting average wasI believe over three hundred at both places.
Oh buddy, Now that's a levelof consistency. It's like, well,
he his splits, it doesn't matterwhere he played or who he hit
against, and his defensive exploits andthe way he ran the bases. Dude
was jacked too. His batting averageat home three h two YEP, batting

(02:13:52):
average on the road three oh oneops at home nine fifty three ops on
the road nine thirty one. Youfind me a better all around player in
the history of the game. Mygod, I don't know if i've if
you think you've seen him, ninehundred and seventy four RBIs on the road,
nine to twenty nine at home.The consistency of home and road.

(02:14:13):
That guy didn't give a fuzzy ratsask where he played in a parking lot.
He'd have hit five hundred. Wow. Okay, and some of his
balls were hit far enough to gointo the parking lot. The guy's a
monster. What needs to happen forthe Astros is they get back home to
take on the Tigers tomorrow. Let'sdiscuss the next The Shawn Salisbury Show continued.

(02:14:35):
Yeah, tom there's a big surprisethere in New England. Hey,
Rady's got a statue in a retiredjersey. I got a question for our
producer Tripoli. Yes, fresh outof college, been on the show?
What coming up? On? Ayear now? Yep, almost a year
now? Damn man, how's itbeen with these Astros for you? You're

(02:14:56):
obviously not from here, right,so you went to prayer of you a
m but you you're a grat ofpreview, but you you're originally from Okaha,
Oklahoma? No really, Tulsa guy, Tulsa, all right, So
you're a Astros fan, adopted Astrosfan? Yes, so how has it
been going for you? It's beenbumpy? I mean because I've been here
since I've been here they've been winning, and now we on the platform now

(02:15:22):
to talk about them, and nowthey're inconsistent. Inconsistent, Yes, okay,
it's kind of frustrating. So whenyou were in college, did you
guys pay attention to you and yourboys pay attention to the astros? Yeah?
We always Yeah, okay, baseball, anytime sports is on, we
was always watching because then we're puttingin bets. You know how it is
so pretty much like you said,all you've so, all you've known since
you've been down here, winning iswinning, winning, winners, winners,

(02:15:45):
and so now this up and downroller coaster Dow Jones effect is frustrating.
Huh. Yes, they strap iton. Man, Sometimes you got to
go through this heavy. Sometimes yougot to strap it on to get get
through. Get through the man,you gotta gotta grind through it on the
armor. Let's go strap it up, strap it on, whatever you call

(02:16:07):
your chin, strap strap it on, strap it up, whatever you call
You were thinking below the waist,I wasn't well, you said, strapping
on. You looked at me,and then I did, saw you too,
Sure he did. Okay, Hey, quit telling me how rough the
water is. Man, Why areyou looking at me bringing the ship.

(02:16:28):
Hey, got it, gut itout man. Let's go strap them up.
Yeah, get those boots straps up. Let's go. The first base
position as a black hole. Theteam struggles with runners in scoring position.
They got uh Jose, Uh JoeOrkeaty, Jose er Keaty and Christiannavier are
done for the season. Tommy John, you got rookie manager. You got

(02:16:52):
a rookie manager. You got SpencerAraghetti is gonna hit an innings threshold.
Renel Blanco was going to eventually hita uh hit an innings threshold Fromber.
I don't know what Frober you're gonnaget every every night one game, he
can go nine innings and throw youa complete game, save your bullpen,
and then, like last night,he throws fifty nine pitches and he's lifted
it after four innings after giving upfive runs on eight hits. Justin Verlander's

(02:17:13):
forty one years old. Your youreighth inning guy is Ryan Presley, who,
for whatever reason can't succeed in theeighth inning. Two pitchers you're counting
on to come back hurt are notgoing to be able to give you all
the innings they want because they're goingto be on a pitch count at some
point when they get back. It'sokay, do you know what I mean?
You've convinced me again, as we'vetalked about, just forget it.
Don't don't, don't strap, don't, don't pull up the bootstraps, just

(02:17:35):
forget it. Just just enjoy theride. And there's speculation amongst everybody that
Jeff Bagwell has a heavy influence ofcontinuing to play jose A Bray You so,
yeah, well, okay, Wellyou've convinced me this it's over.
Wait, what are the Texas done? I don't think it's over. It's
it's over, Johnny, But it'sover. That's a lot of concern.

(02:17:56):
There's about twenty seven IF's is whatyou're saying to me. Okay, okay,
so it's not over. The truthis it's far from over, but
it's also not gonna be pretty gettingthere. What do I talk about the
unpaved road, brother, they're gonnabe on that the whole season. Sometimes,
you know how you get off,You know, sometimes you're going and
you hit the get on the shoulderand it reminds you you're on the shoulder,

(02:18:20):
and you get off on the road, say let's take this short cut,
get on that unpaved road, gothrough, and you finally get back
on the road and say, okay, this is a smooth ride, and
say nah, we're gonna go fullwheeling today. You get off again and
you pop your ass back on it. That's what it's gonna be like,
it's gonna be, it's gonna day. It's gonna be a Dow Jones season.
It already has, and I thinkthis is what you gotta get used
to. There'll be ups and downsthe whole time, as there is every

(02:18:41):
year. The problem is how longare the up's gonna be up and how
long are the down's gonna be down? That consistency has been exactly who inconsistency
has been. Who they that's theirlabel this year, that's their mo,
that's their identity. So now youjust got to deal with it. How
You've got to have the the oneswhen the when the Dow Jones is up,

(02:19:01):
you got to ride those a littlebit longer than when it's down,
because that is who they are andthat's this year twenty twenty four, that's
their INMO. Yeah, period,it's up and down, up and down,
up and down, no question,And if you would have told me
that it was going to be thisway as we were coming through spring training.
Oh, by the way, that'sanother thing, JP Frantz. But
I don't even know if he's he'sprobably not gonna be able to be available

(02:19:22):
for the rest of your either.Haven't heard me updates on him. No,
you're gonna have to count on himthis season. Yeah, a lot
of ifs, man, Yeah,too many of them right now for you,
too many of them for your comfortzone, I guess, is what
I'm saying. Yeah, it's it'snot good man. I don't enjoy it.
Well, I just wanted to knowour triple Lee felt about you.

(02:19:43):
I like the question. That agood idea. I liked the question for
the college guys whoa whoa they?But I do like the question. Wonder
what it was like on campus andyou know, coming from where he's at
and to now and now he's ona show. I have to talk about
him every day. It hits different, doesn't it doesn't. It really does.
It really does, it really does. It's like really frustrating because beforehand

(02:20:05):
we were watching the games. Theywere winning left and right, they were
finding ways to win too, Yes, but then you could go have a
beer, hang with the fellas andplay a video game, or go eat
out to eat, or you know, chase your latinas like you like to
do. But you didn't have tocome in the next morning and be reminded
of it. You can drive on. This is constant reminder because our great
fans, the frustration that they ridewith and I get it, man,

(02:20:28):
tough. Well see now for me, once the Astros lose, my week's
ruined. Oh you're right, guy, Yeah, I get I get over
it pretty quick. It's frustrating thatI'm not carrying that with me for four
straight days. Hell no, Well, you know when you were ripping my
ass this morning, it's like fivepoint fifty eight, Yeah, talking about
how bad the Astros played yesterday.Yeah, so what about that? Right?
And by six oh three of you, he's trying to talk my way

(02:20:52):
into that they're gonna be okay today. Yeah, even though they're not playing
today, they're gonna be okay.Yeah, they're gonna be okay. I
think they're gonna be fine. Man. Okay, man, what do you
mean? What's what is? Whatdo you mean by that? Though?
Okay? What is fine? Defined. They have that winter mentality in them,
like for it's been seven years straight, correct, right, but at

(02:21:13):
some point that comes to an end. Okay, well let me ask you
both this. Yes, it's happeningright now. You got five hundred bucks
in front of you, okay,all three of us. I just lost
ten to you. So you did. Okay, Well, I'll give you
a chance to win it back doubleor nothing, but maybe hopefully we'll have
a twenty because you'll end up losingthat too. You know, I'm just
kidding. Hey, Okay, seriously, five hundred Bryan, start with you.
Okay, five hundred dollars, fivehundred to win, five hundred You

(02:21:39):
beting them to win the division?Five hundred bucks right now? You got
to put in the pile to winthe division? No, five hundred for
one thousand? No, okay,So you're not giving it, you know,
Okay, to win the division?No, okay, you're not just
gonna stop losing right there? Yougo? Okay, all right, five
hundred for one thousand to make theplayoffs. You say five hundred, you're

(02:22:01):
betting five hundred. You're gonna geta thousand back if they make the playoffs
from me? Yeah, to makethe playoffs. I would do that because
I feel they would make I'm notdoing it. I think right now,
your money plays more than his,or please you're gonna you your chance to
win the money is better than his. Yeah, I'm not doing it right
now. I think a lot ofpeople would feel what would bet your way?

(02:22:22):
Yeah? And I also that they'dsay no as opposed to now.
If you're seeing a little bit throughone of your eyes as rose colored glasses,
the others realistic, you'd say.Thinking of it, you'd say,
okay, Sean, can I haveCan I bet two fifty to win five
hundred? Yeah? Different story,but five can I We're all it's all
funny games until somebody puts on handme the cash huh, and you got
to take it out of your pocketto do it. Then that's when you

(02:22:43):
know how people really feel and say, okay, a thousand to win two
thousand for them to make the playoffs, you're doing it. Nope, there
you go. That's where you sitthere. That's exactly the real sin is
when you've got to get into yourold wallet. Exactly. It's easy when
it's' somebody else's valid right seven one, three, two two five, seven
ninety Leo, Phil, You guys, last two callers of the show.
We'll get to you next and concludethe Thursday edition of The Sewn Salisbury Show

(02:23:07):
next on sport Stock seven ninety.This is the Sean Salisbury Show. Sales
that beautiful all you do? Ijust got one? No, there you

of that's happened to me too.We're over on another radio station, Triple

(02:23:28):
Yeah. Okay, yeah, that'shappened to me and Shawn and I have
actually gone back. He'll get sometimestagged in mine and I've got tagged in
his. I'm like, well,I think you might have the wrong guy.
But my other, my other buddy, my other buddy, Sewan's a
really good guy too, he is. He's a great man. So there's
no question we get a good laughout of it because we both spell our
first name the same name. Right. Yeah. Yeah, But you know

(02:23:48):
what, if you are one ofthose guys, have some friggin feel Okay,
tell that I think it's a classic. Yeah, tell the other Sean.
I'll make sure. I'll make sure. I'll make sure I have staying
brown some good stuff. Okay,every week, there you go. But
thank you for the thing. Ohyeah, that's happened to me where he'll
send it to me when there's somebodywill send it to me and they're talking

(02:24:11):
about something that they're talking about onTHEIRS and somebody will send it to him
and they're talking about it. It'slike, oh, this is like the
third time, literally the last weekthat this happened. Same guy. Yeah
no, no, no, differentguy there. Sorry. They just see
it as if there's not when youhit at Sean and you're going through certain
seeing who it is is if there'snot four hundred other Shawns across the country,
right damn? Okay, I don'tyou know what what I do?

(02:24:35):
I just smirk and smile and sometimesI'll just make smirking a little smirk for
some smile, and then sometimes youjust answer their question for that's if you're
him, right, Yeah, Ilove it, man, our guy Phil
hung up. He must have hadto go into a conference caller or something.
Feel Phil, Phil, Let's talkto Leo. Leo, Hey,

(02:24:56):
what's I'll be in a minute realquick. Uh the uh the where are
you going? Man? You gotto get there in a minute. You
got to go back to the officer. Well, well it's my snap on
tool, guys. Man, Igot to go over the stir. But
anyways, listen real quick, Sean. You've been saying it for a while,
but I think what this team needsthis major disruption, yep. And
I think it needs to start atthe front office and work it play down.

(02:25:20):
So I think the only guy rightnow they can probably start that type
of disruption is mister Jim Crane.And I think what he needs to do
is line up, is manage thestats, kick the meet in the balls.
Uh. And then he needs toget those guys to get the coaches
and the players and the pension managers. Uh. And they need to get

(02:25:41):
their ass run or something or thebelllong some way somehow, because you know,
okay, real quick, exactly ifI'm if I'm the number seven hitter
in the lineup, and and whenI come up to the plate, how
many advants you I have on thatpicture right? Mostly? Well, it's
your first at bats, so youdon't have anything that's wrong. I would

(02:26:05):
have six at bats on that pictureready if I was paying attention in the
dugout and talking to the guys thatare pacing before me, they try to
get some info. Number two.If I'm facing, this is casing yesterday.
If I'm facing then this is thenumber. I think brombers the number
one pictures that induces ground balls sincetwenty eighteen. Right, the guy last
night was the number two guys.So if this guy's number two's and twenty

(02:26:30):
eighteen at inducing ground balls, thattells me that this guy's gonna live at
the bottom of his own So I'mnot gonna swing at anything down until i
get two strikes. But even withtwo strikes, if I'm a confident hitter,
I know I can get on basewith two strike if it doesn't matter
what the counting. But the Astros, no, I'm sure they have this
information because I know when I coachedelectball, even when I played, we

(02:26:52):
didn't have stouting reports on pictures.We go out there and we had to
do what we had to do.But these guys got scouting reports on the
opposing pitch. Uh trouble. Thisis number one. If you look at
that game, they weren't hacking atthose low pitch and we kept throwing them
down there. But when he keptfalling behind hi account because they weren't going
after that pitch. He brought theball up and naturally when he got hit,

(02:27:15):
why he only lasted four in Ihave no idea. That's that's one
problem he's got to He's got toput on his big four and get We
got it. We're coming up againstthem. We got we gotta get.
But yeah, they need disruption.I got you on scouting. They need
some major disruption. Look at havea great weekend. But you guys are
funny. Uh, thanks Leo.I've been just for a while, I've

(02:27:37):
been saying I wanted disruption when springtraining started. Yeah, and whatever that
disruption is, little shockwave doesn't haveto be a major one, little shockwave
that people say, oh they meanbusiness. We're not willing to settle for
a third place. I don't thinkthat's the problem. And if you can't
handle the a little bit of heator a little bit of disruption, then
maybe you're not long for this.I'm I'm big on I think you can

(02:28:00):
get great. Disruption can be agreat thing in the business world. Bring
a disruptor in to create competition.They may need a little bit of that
here right now. Yeah, notmajor, but some disruption, A little
shockwave through disruption is a good thing. Something some different, and there's something
different without ask kissing ain't part ofit. No, that's right, I

(02:28:22):
assure you off Today they take onthe Tigers tomorrow. Thank you for listening.
