Speaker 4 (01:46):
West Ah who doesn't love Josey L two ve. I mean,
you know, at least that's what Joe spond You don't.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Man, you said many times on the show that bencham not.
I never had said that, not Trip Trip, and I
heard not once has that ever the guys you said
you hated on a team, not once Walk Dude, I
didn't understand why. Like we're on the air, You're like,

(02:15):
oh yeah, I can't stand out to me. Then you
come out here, see I kind of like him, So
I don't get it. Dude, you can't Dow Jones it
like they're hitting order. No, you can't do it. It's
like Tim Meadows to it. It's like Tim Meadows don't
refer to a movie that nobody knows about. I think
some people are going to know this, Jimmy Meadows.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
It's just like he said to John c Riley's character
Dewey Cox, he never once paid for drugs.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
So I'm I'm Dewey Cox Cox.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
I probably give away what the movie is, right, Yeah,
it's Walk Hard, It's it's the it's the parody of
the Walk. The line the Johnny Cash, Yeah, Johnny Cash,
but he never wants paid for drugs and I never
once said that about Josel.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I've kind of swore. I heard you say, bench him,
trade him. He's not a Hall of Famer. Did you
say that, I said, I said, neither. Triple I said, wha, well,
wait a second, man, the guy's going to get hot.
There was more than one, so it's not there. I've
said none of those things. Man, and then Triple and
I were like, Ray, like, the guy's gonna get hot.
He's Hall of Famer. It always does. He would get going.
I mean, maybe not as long as this one, but
he'll get it going. And he'll probably be Homer tonight.

(03:14):
That's what he said yesterday. What he Homers? That's it?
And you said he's never going to Homer again in
his life. That's not true.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
But that you No, that wasn't No, wasn't me. You
must have been somebody else. Must have been an invasion
of the body snatchers.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I don't know. You're not going to come in here
and say you're guaranteed a World Series after three straight wins,
or are you still saying yeah, I still their half
game up now? I still don't. I don't like their style.
What do you go say? Is it disdained Danny today
or no, that's great, or upbeat Danny beat Danny. It
is good dinner last night with some good buddies. Time
win victory al two v Homers.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Good Mexican food. Had a game up on the TV.
So it's real rolling base. We're high five and we're
enjoying that fun. Yeah, little Margot a little dap.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, I was, Uh, I was of the uh surveasive variety.
Oh a little cold beer.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Oh yeah, mud bottle can mug bottle into a mug
bottle into the some tahen and some lives.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
It must have been a Mexican beer. Oh yeah, yeah,
must have been a Mexican Mexican spot. Good spot. Nice. Nice.
Who do you think you'd pull quicker? Margo or Rita?
I mean, if you were sitting there and there's two
there's two ladies sitting at the at the bar well,

(04:25):
and one's names their backs to you. One's name's Margo,
and one's name's Rita. Who's who's hotter?

Speaker 4 (04:32):
I don't think I've ever met a Rita that was
close to my age, but I had the name Rita
means you're seventy. Well, like, there was a girl that
was a cheerleader, you know, for us at Saint Thomas.
Your name was Margo.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
She was pretty hot. Yeah. She was blonde, guaranteed.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's like kind of like dirty blonde, like maybe a
little bit more brown here, light brown hare Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Okay, so I was a fan little dishwater blonde, yeah
type of thing. You go, right, yeah, so so you
go Margo, Oh yeah, mar So what I say, the
name Rita does like your grandmother's grandmothers. That's more.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
That's that's more of that, like like Rita like you
know Nelda, Yeah, there's no there's no neldo age.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
My grandmother's name. My mom's mom was Naomi. That's old school,
right Naomi. Yeah, the powerful name, right it is. And
she was a strong woman. So you walk in and
you're sitting there. Now, what happens though, if you walk
into a bar the next time and there's two friends
that are sitting there and their name is Bargo and Reed,
are you gonna cry laughing? I mean, what are you
gonna look at it and start laughing in her face?
Like my buddy wanted me to know which was and

(05:36):
what if Rita is like blows margot away could be
so it's not. You're not going in with preconceived ideas
that Margot's always hotter than Rita.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Well, I mean, here's the funny thing. Is I once
uh met a girl and her legit name was Margarita,
like Santa Margarita.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah. Yeah, was the left side of her face hotter
on the right side? Two faces? Tommy Lee Jones, there
you go, all right, I'm just curious. I'm just curious.
See you a good night. So you're no disdained and
sweeping ready for the Is momentum going to carry over
or does it get bam? I mean, big, big win

(06:12):
last night. Huge, should have a big win for the
Mariner's opponent too. Last year is nice? Nice for the
Royals to be able to ship in seven to five.
So now your half came up. If the Astros get
swept against the Mariners, and that'll put them with two
and a half down, Yeah, that'd put them two and
a half six to go. Could they overcome it to
win the division? It'd be very tough.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
I mean, even with the Dodgers kind of scuffling lately,
although I think they won last night. They did so
even with them still being in the race, that's only
three because you can't count on Colorado and especially to
Seattle doesn't lose at home. So I think you can
probably pencil in a sweep for Seattle ones if either

(06:53):
one swept this divisions, there is more than likely. Yeah,
I mean because it's also today is huge or the
Astros are off, but Seattle and Kansas City are gonna play.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, it's like their first day off in twenty three
days or something. They're like, there's like twenty two of
the last twenty three, right, They've ore twenty one of
the last twenty two straight, right, And so it's been
been since what in the teens in August since they
had time off, Yes, something like that, So it's would
be good for them.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
And then no more days I mean days off as
it goes, and tell you Clint is saying you ain't
getting a day.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Off though, well, I mean I think it goes even
further than just days off, because I mean Cleveland is lurking,
and Cleveland's trying to get into this wild card picture.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
The Guardians beat the Tigers again last night. They always
hang around. Man, if you ever notice that doesn't Frank
or not they did fran Cone or not it's like
they all take on the personality jose Ra Merrs. They
just grind it out here as ste Kwan they do.
They just like and then and he's like, well, oh,
they're still hanging in this thing.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Could they almost be like what Detroit was last year,
because I mean, similar deal trading away Josh Naylor. I mean,
I'm trying to remember who else they traded away. But
we've seen Kansas City be in this situation as well.
So yeah, man, it's it's gonna be if there's a
hell of a hell of a three game series by
the but now with you being in first by a
half a game, you're also a game and a half

(08:13):
back of Detroit with eight games to go, yeah, eight, nine, nine, Right.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
No, they'll be there. There's there's nine games to go. Yes,
three here, three, and you got three Angels three here
and three. I'm just talking about the three. You got Seattle,
the Angels in and Oakland in nine games. Yeah, so
with nine games left to go, I mean that's not insurmountable.
You can you can overtake them, and if you're able
to clinch that up, then you can rest people because

(08:41):
at that point, I mean, I think the astros best
chance is being able to get in one of those
top two spots. Because you do that, you can rest
up your pitching, set it up the way you want
to give even more time, possibly for a yord On return,
maybe even for Hater two. Who knows about Bennett.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
So Susa, I mean you get let's say you get
two of those three guys back and that happens, then
you can start dreaming.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Let it also be a good shot of ITAM and
B twelve too, man, Just like just for your players,
just to know that your in reinforcement and reinforce it
not only the resilience, but your lineup's good enough to
to not just production with resilience. You know, there's different
you can be. You can be a battler and still loose,
but to be resilient win is a big thing. And

(09:27):
this was a huge pressure sweep. It really was. Tell
me again, Dan, I know the answer this, but just
reminded I. In the three game series, how many runs
they score?

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Three games series they scored Let's see six last night?
Was it twelve or eighteen? I mean keep going, Let's
see eighteen. How many days score on Friday night?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Friday night they scored eleven. Okay, how many day score
on some Saturday seven seven runs? And how many they
they score six six, six, six on serementy last night,
and then last night they scored six. It's nineteen runs.
They've averaged six and a half, well so nineteen eight,
eight and eight, I mean seven seven, And they've averaged

(10:19):
just under just over six runs a game, six and
about six and a third six and three six point
three runs a game, little more than that. They'll win
all the time averaging that.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
And they flashed up Andy just asking for four, right,
and they flashed up a graphic last night that seven
eight nine in this order, which I means funny enough.
You put yers down there to balance things out, Uh,
first and seconds. I believe in hits and runs. And
I think their second in RBI in this month, well

(10:48):
three twenty seven with runners in the scoring position.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Talked about it with Dani Brown yesterday about just how
important the other guy has been in this lineup pitching
and hitting this year. And you listen, this isn't new
to winning baseball teams. It's not just your stars. Now
they have to care because you're not gonna be able
to get through the playoffs with seven, eight and nine
being the lead dog, you just not. You have to
have your big boys take care of their business. And

(11:11):
then one of those are two of those guys at seven,
eight and nine come through at times during the playoffs,
and they've done it all year. They really have pitching
and the other guy has been real big and helping
carry this team to where they are at half game lead.
They just are so you know, sometimes that can be cliche.
Oh yeah, count on those guys that those the guys

(11:31):
who weren't you didn't count on to contribute. But think
about the number of this It's not just been one.
Think about the number of those guys that have contributed.
With all the injuries and in life of some of
those guys that you expected to be better haven't been.
So it's been impressive. And after all this, they're half
game front with nine games to go. It's a good
place to be, yep. And coming off a sweep like

(11:53):
you know me, I don't believe in game in game
to game momentum, confidence, yes, for sure, and they got
to be gathering it and then you and you beat it.
I mean, the guy pitched last night's pretty good. For
the other team I'm talking about too. Yeah, he ain't bad.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Although here's the thing. I mean, let's go ahead and
not bury the lead with him. He went a little frommer.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
There's no doubt the Grom. I think his frustration boils over.
I mean I can't. It was into the dugout.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
And the right thing is too, is he didn't throw
any punches, but it was with his left hand that
he threw his glove against the wall.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, it's just that the frustrated at this time of year,
you realize and they probably realized, we just our playoff
hopes just damn near went out the window. Oh yeah, so,
and he's so good, right, But what I'm saying is
that that confidence from game to game. But you know
how good in game momentum you get two cal Raley
home runs and that that can shut down momentum in
a hurry, So that confidence so grows and after night

(12:50):
did this has got to be one of the biggest
three game series they've had runs wise, as far as
averaging six and you know, six point three or so
runs a game. It's big against a good team and
that's important.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Well, I mean with nine games left to go, I
mean unless Kansas City pretty much wins out. They have
no shots. So it really comes down to the Guardians
and Rangers that are still lurking. So let's just say
with the Rangers now, at this moment, you are five
games in front of them.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
They're not catching you.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
So you win four games, they're done no matter what happens.
Because you have the tie break, you.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Can pretty much play sub five hundred baseball and when
and then the last nine games and still staved them
all and that was pretty much it.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
I mean, you know, for all of the injuries that
the Astros have had, they're not gonna feel sorry for
anybody else but for the Rangers. Nice little time with
Hellman and Freeman and some of these other guys that
came in for you know, Seeger and Simeon. But I
mean that's eventually what did them en.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, Well, they couldn't overcome injuries like this team has.
So it's a fact the Big Boppers go out. They
could never quite catch up. The first place, the Astros
have hovered around it or been in it even with
all their when their stars have been hurt. So there's
just a there, there's a there's different and this team's
a little different than that one. Not they're not good.
This team's a bit more resilient when it comes to

(14:07):
being able to overcome, and that's a tribute to the
depth of an organization, and they just and expectations. So
I'm anxious to see what they're going to do. And
with the Rangers moving forward, what Boat is going to
do if he's if he says, you know what, came back,
got a World Series, somebody else's turn or comes back
and gives it one more run. But obviously they're going

(14:28):
to play hard and hope they go win nine in
a row and put pressure on people. But I think
the Rangers are probably going to be home for dinner
in the next nine game.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Now, I'm not gonna have a lot of tears from us,
especially after twenty twenty three. Someone three two, one, two
five seven ninety the number to get in and Sean
mentioned the other guys not just a great movie, also
a reason to celebrate this team.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
We'll discuss right here.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
It is the Shawn Salisbury Show on a Thursday Sports
Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
I am a dip guy, you say, Sean will kundit, Well,
I can tell you kind of dip Daisy French onion
dip and the daisy ranch dip. Now I am, I'm
like the finger food appetizer chips, you know, throw a
fredo in their chips to get the dips. Sometimes to
the point on college game day or during Saturdays and Sundays,
get up put the spread. It always has the daisy

(15:17):
french onion dip or the daisy ranch tip. Was in
the local grocery store over the weekend picking it up.
And why because well, the other foods find and dandy
later in the day, but in order to get you through.
And don't you do it on holidays too, you do
it on Labor Day, you do it on holidays. You
do it sports and it's sports season. This is this
is daisy French onion dip and ranch dip time of
year right and now it comes out with this delicious

(15:40):
french onion dip. As an obsession of mine. They are
delicious as homemade dip. You can add whatever you want
to be. You won't need to because they got the
real rbs and spices and the other ingredients you'd find
in your own kitchen. But they're doing it for you.
Pop on into your local grocery store and find out
what I already know and have known. And I'm grateful
to be part of this where I get to well

(16:00):
spend my college football Saturday and Sundays or any other
day of the week doing what really is the strength
of a meal. Mike chips and dips, and it's Daisy
French onion dip and Daisy ramch dip. I can go
to myfrigerator and take a picture. You'll see it now,
visualize it, and then go out and do it. Get
to your local grocery store and look for Daisy French

(16:21):
onion dip at a grocery store near you.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
This is this Sean Salisbury show.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
After the show, get the post show, nap in some lunch,
and then usually go work out about four thirty, so
I think that's going to be popped up on.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
The TV doing all your style.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
It is, you know, nice, nice little afternoon nap guy.
You get a little nap, I do you know.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
But the funny thing is is I used to be
like a pronounced nap guy, like hour hour and a half.
Now it's pretty much if I get about thirty minutes,
I'm like, all right, I'm good.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
You're good to go.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
I'm shocked back in the place. Yeah, maybe maybe on
the couch for a little bit, or you know, even
even between the sheets, getting there.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
For really yeah, roll up in the sheets, up in
the sheets for a little bit. Now, Yeah, my nap
if I ever get one, which I'd never do, and
I don't wear it as bad to honor. It seems
pretty good. When you get one, you're like, this is fresh.
Unless you sleep to see an hour and a half,
I'd wake up like sluggish as hell. It's gonna say
that's too big, a little too long for me, because.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
I mean, you know, you get deep into that valley
right there, and then you know you got to climb
back out pretty quickly.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Right, and then do all your things and then just
back to the sheets because you wake up at three
thirty in the morning, right, yep, I am a set
on a couch and you're doing something and all of
a sudden, look at the golf channel, lean my head
back to the back of the couch. You know, when
your mouth kind of sits open because you're really tired, right,
And it gives you about twelve minutes. That's that's and
then I wake up for like that, what's and you
look up It's like, damn, I thought I slept longer

(17:46):
than I got more. But I don't know what it is.
But then I'm more energetic. The longer the worse for
me when a nap. So I try to stay out
of them sheets in the midnay and you get that grogginess. Yeah,
it's a bad feeling. Yeah, but don't like it. But sheets,
the lunch, yeah, the ball, all of it, all of it.
So I'll get your golf game sharp. Yeah, you know
I do need you know, maybe maybe I can't this weekend.

(18:09):
I got, I got, I got both days covered.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
But anyway, uh so we'll be keeping a close eye
on what's happening in Kansas City. But the Astros is
mentioned the other guys, I mean you you have mentioned
and you talked about it yesterday with Dana Brown, Jason Alexander,
guys like Brian King. Trying to think who else? I mean,
Zach Cole has come up. He was all with the
A team yesterday. Good stuff there. If you missed it,

(18:33):
I mean, you go through. Why am I losing my
mind about to blue? His hurt his blue ball? No,
he hurt his arm SUSA.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
No before that starter Walter, Yes, Brandon Walter excellent for this,
he was he was pitching. Well, well, Gordon's done a
good job, right. You start to look at the bullpen
that you've mentioned, and it's been somebody different in different places. Hell,
you need Kimberle to come in here. And I mean
he's not one of the other guy. I mean, he's
been pretty successful in his career, but it's been somebody

(19:06):
else on a regular basis. Jake Myers when he was
supposed to hit two twenty. You talk, you know when
they say, hey, man, make a quantum leap. That's a
freaking quantum leap.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Now it's a quantum leap, and it's also one that
you sorely missed. Oh then once you got to my
point and he's hitting again, you're like, oh man, never
thought that you'd crave the offensive game of Jake Myers.
And I'm not making fun, but it's not been who
he is and quantum leap and they craved.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
The Jake Myers. You could even say that when I
say the other guy when you replace Alex Bregman expects,
you know, there's a lot of big shoes to fill,
but Paradis. Didn't come here thinking you were getting Chipper
Jones or George Brett. Right, you didn't know what you
thought you were getting a good player, but you didn't know,
You didn't really know how he's going to work those
kind of counts and play really good defense and do

(19:56):
the things. And then he goes out and you realize,
of all the guys that have gone out, the one
thing that works account is that guy. He's his name's
been mentioned the most outside of Jordan obviously, but gosh,
you gotta get him back. Got to get him back
when it comes to everyday players. I'll be damned, man,
here you go. So it's been, uh, it's been pretty impressive.
And they've needed every friggin one of them too, Yes,

(20:18):
they have.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
I mean, because this is a team that I mean,
we say it all the time. They're not as deep
as they used to be. All Right, we get that
lineups not as as powerful as it was in the past.
All right, Yeah, that's fine too, but it is getting
the contributions out of those guys. I mean, you know,
Dana even mentioning it yesterday that it's a whole organization thing.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I mean, even guys in the minor leagues. I mean,
Cole is a guy. And I heard over the.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Weekend Matt Thomas said Chandler Roman with them, wasn't even
in my wasn't even in major league camp with them.
He was one of the guys in the other set
of cages. He was one of the guys on the backfields. There,
wasn't even in the clubhouse. And then just goes about
his business, hits at double A and they're like, hmm,
pretty good, Let's move him up to triple A. Continues
to rake at triple A and they're like, yeah, maybe
we need to take a look at this guy, and

(21:02):
sure enough they did.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
And I mean it was funny.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
And I heard wexen at you know, AC talking about
it yesterday that when Dana was in the booth on
Friday night, he was like, yeah, we brought this guy
up to be a boost. First pitch pow gone and
it's just like, oh, okay, nice timing. Yeah, yeah, the
scouts that I paid off right there, Dana.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
No doubt about it.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
It was.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
It's impressive and that's that that is. There's no truer
statement for the Astros this year when you say pitching
no doubt, but just as true as guys you didn't
expect doing more than you expected and probably more than
they expected, are a big reason why this team's a
half game in front of the first place. And that's fact.

(21:43):
It just is who's been who's been more valuable for
them this year. When they mean Jake Myers has been
every bit as valuable as as Jordan Alvarez has when
they both played easily, I mean you get my point that.
I mean, he really has and he's not the same player,
but you get the point. And hell, I could make

(22:04):
an argument that well, consistently Paradus and Myers have hit
the ball better than al Tuove and Yiner Diaz for
the most part of the season, show you that they
have right and just but you would all say, come on, man,
we got a better chance for those guys. I'm just
talking about results now. Going into it, you're gonna need
al Twova And just like last night, just like what's

(22:25):
going on, Jiners picked it up. This is a This
is impressive to watch. Now. This has just got to
be sustained because I think we all know that this
team's expectation to get to the playoffs. We're firmly in place,
and we still expect it. The key is what are
you going to do when you're in, because this is
not a hey, we got in, great, celebrate see you
next year. This is we got in now. We're going

(22:45):
to prove to you exactly why all the talk of grit,
grind and resilience is a part of our franchise. But
all that's fine and Danny, but you're going to have
to produce, and a big part of it is trying
to stay away from that first three game series.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
That would be nice and.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
Be massive if you were able to do that, and
the Astros, as I mentioned, game and a half back
in Detroit for a chance to be able to do that.
So a good week and a half and you can
accomplish that very thing. Roger c you will get you involved.
You want to join them seven one three two one
two five seven to ninety against someeone three two one
two five seven to ninety. Perhaps at times I've been
too hard on this guy, but others tell me, man,

(23:21):
I am off base. We'll discuss that here. It is
the Shawn Salisbury Show on a Thursday Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I had to live there for The Shawn Salisbury Show
continued Ryder Cup next week too. Man, it's all shaping up.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
And it's shaping up for the Stros too, because they
went last night five to sweep those Rangers out of town.
And now get ready for the Mariners tomorrow after an
off day. The Mariner is going to take on the
Royals tonight. Casey helping you out last night on their
home ball yard, able to beat Seattle seven to five,
so you got a half game lead on them in
the West and the Astros now, as I mentioned, just

(23:59):
a game and a half back of the Tigers for
the second spot in the American League. It doesn't look
like anybody's gonna catch Toronto, so that looks like it's
going to be out of reach with nine games to go.
I think you are four and a half games back
of them, so they'd have to completely fall face in
the map. So it looks like you're playing for second
at pest. Now for the Strows, get into Joe Spotta

(24:21):
here a little bit in a few minutes, But do
you want to work some of you in on the
phone line seven one three two one two five seven ninety.
Roger wants to lead us off good morning, Roger, Hey.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
Guys, how's it going this morning? Hey, great great series win,
great sweep. Just oh, by the way, Bob Lass says
beat the devil of it.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
That's right anyway.

Speaker 6 (24:42):
So so anyway, uh, I just I don't as a
great win, great, great team win, but do you want
to note a couple of things. And uh, I know
the Spot is gonna do what the Spot is going
to do and it's been successful thus far. So hey,
kudos to him man and great great I said, great win,
but just a couple I think Brian King looks more

(25:04):
natural in that closure role. Uh he just knows how.
He just does strikes and he doesn't overthink stuff. I
think a Brave is a natural eight guy. I just
just outside looking in, like I said. And if there's
any way for contact purposes alone, if you can flip
flop myers with with with Walker and going into the

(25:24):
Seattle series, because you know, I just think them as
Walker just strikes out too much. Simply. That's all I got, guys,
you know, just happy for the win.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
So I have a good one, all right, you two?

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Roger, Thanks Roger, Roger, Roger, Roger, Roger Clarence Clarence vector
Victor with a pray you seven saves this year. So
I mean, yeah, he's had his struggles at times, but
at least as of late, uh, he's been somebody that
you can count on in that spot. So, I mean,
we talked with Dana Brown, as we mentioned a week ago.
Sounds like he's gonna stay there until you find out

(25:56):
if indeed you do get Josh Hater back.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I do agree on the Christian Walker thing.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Joe has to continue to fight the temptation whenever Walker
has a good game or two to say, all right,
we can move him back.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Up in the lineup.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
No, Joe, there's a reason he is having that success.
I mean, just like I talked about with Jiner Diaz
to run single last night, even though you moved them
up in the order. But still, when did Yiner start
hitting when you took that pressure off, and mean you
put him down on the bottom of the order. When
was Christian Walker hitting when you had him down the
bottom of the order. So do you want balance in
your lineup or do you want to chase something that
just hasn't been there all season long?

Speaker 2 (26:33):
I will agree with him on that.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
I Christian Walker coming up in crucial RBI situations.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
This year has not been good, right, but you hope
at this time that I'll put it this way. I'm
going to sacrifice a full year of not getting the
consistency you want that if it'll get hot now you'll
take it.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Right.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
They've been able to put it this way. They've been
able to survive to this point with quite frankly, a
very average hitting year. When you think about it, it
really has been for them power bats and it's been
an average hitting year as an overall team. And whatever
the reason, it's just you're not You haven't gone all
year saying man, yeah, sotos are invoking fear on the

(27:15):
opponent at the plate at times the lineup may pre
but then you say, well this year is a little different.
I can get that guy out. And so with that
being now, if they are twelve games out, we'd be
you think you'd be, like, big reason why is those
guys you're talking about have not been able to pull
their weight the way that they normally would well in
this situation. Think about if they pull their weight twenty

(27:38):
percent more, then they when I say pull their weight,
they play twenty percent better at the plate. As a
whole than they did all year long. What's going to
happen in the postseason. They'll extend series because pitching will
take care of itself. Usually does good ones. I mean,
they may stub their toe a little bit, but they've
been pretty good most of the year. So you think

(27:59):
about that, if you just fifteen to twenty percent more
production from the continued yiner al Tuove gives you twenty
percent more than even yeah, during the I'm talking about
twenty percent more during his his his slump, just twenty
percent more. The home run last night give you a
hit an RBI or two. The two RBIs what the
day before with a couple hits right, or of sacrifice

(28:19):
flying and a hit. So if you were to get
that and get the same pitching you've had most of
the year that they're moving on in the playoffs from
now till the play then you'd be like, okay, and
that's twenty percent more of a combined team at the plate,
this team will be good. Well, Sean, that's a lot. Well,
is it really a lot? Considering what we thought of

(28:40):
them at one hundred percent at the beginning? What you
thought you might get from Christian Walker, which you thought
you'd get all year a long from Yanard Is, I
know the potential to give it to you once in
a while. I'm talking about twenty percent better consistently for
twenty games nine and in a handful of the playoffs.
This team will be in good shape in the American
with a chance in every series. Wow.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
And also too, I mean going in with moment, I
mean that does mean a lot. We found that out
last year with the Detroit Tigers because they were one
of the hottest teams in baseball, and well they proved
it against you in two games. So hopefully the Astros
can do that to somebody else this year. Christ and
Jersey Village will get to you next. You want to
join them someone three two one two five seven ninety
against someone three two one two five seven ninety. If

(29:18):
we can't get to the Joe A Spot a thing
in the next segment, we'll do at top of the
seven o'clock hour. So we got all that coming up
right here. Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven to ninety.
All right, guys, let's discuss doctor Jeff Witzitt in Envision. Okay, Uh,
he's been nothing but spectacular for me. I always say
when I want to know it.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
First off, how in the world would somebody who's never
used lasik or never been to the eye doctor for
something important, How in the world would would they be
able to speak on somebody? Talk to the people who've
used it. Doctor Witz has been with me every step
of the way for the last seven or eight years.
Every step he's been phenomenal. So talk to and friends

(29:56):
I've sent him, same way. Talk to those people, not
the one who I'm thinking about getting it done. But here,
let me tell you about this company. How about talking
about somebody who's been there, done it. I'm seeing better
than I've seen the last thirty years, and if there's
anything that needs adjusted, he's doing it. You have the
best doctor right here. You don't have to travel out
of state to go get the Lasik procedure. Guy that
you want to get it done right in eye care doctor.

(30:17):
He's phenomenal. He'll walk you through it, take away your
anxiety stress because there always is when you're talking about
your eyes. But with the greatest equipment, with his great
eye and hands to make sure that you get treated
the way he'd treat his own kid's eyes. Isn't that
a nice, nice bonus we get and then the recovery's quick,
you're not on the table long, and it's not invasive,
all those things, plus you can work out your payment plan.

(30:40):
Get it done right with doctor Jeff Witzett, because your
eyes are important, as you well know, and he's going
to make sure you understand just how comfortable you can be.
And that's a good thing. He's the best in the business,
and I'm grateful. I am a patient. It's seven one
three three sixty five ninety seven nine nine seven one
three three sixty five. You can get him at wits

(31:01):
it vision dot com. Go for your free review wits
it vision dot com. This is the Sean Salisbury Show
and his name is sure Sean Really were find sports
Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
He would go out in public basically dressed like the dude.
You know, he's got the beard, the long hair, going
out in like a in a robe to the store,
going on the picture bridges, doing that, writing, writing a
check fan getting into full character at times too, no doubt.
But you know, because he was in Heller high Water,
he's been like a bunch of like Western theme movies
that he's kind of taken that on.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Well, I feel like I was just about to say
that I feel like the Bridges that i'd go have
a beer with is the dude from Hell or high Water. Yeah,
this smart ass, you know, his best buddy rolls his
eyes because he makes all those you know Indian you
know what he's talking about, Davajo Indians and stuff and
and uh make and he just rolls his eyes. And
that guy's a great actor, by the way. Underrated other

(31:57):
you know, Thomas Strainwater I think it is his name, yeah,
and he's in uh well, he was obviously and I
think that was his name on Yellows and Big Yeah
Big and Yellowstone. But when I saw him in you know,
Hell or high Water, they were the perfect mix because
they loved each other yet they like good buddies. Do
you know, you talk all the trash in the world
and the guy the other guy just like rolls his

(32:18):
eyes Hill Birmingham, Yeah, yeah, I know it must have
gotten going late, but he's really good anyway. I picture
Bridges to be that guy, so I can I can
picture him being And again, if you've never seen Heller
high Water, oh my gosh, the diner scene but not
just a great depth movie. And I think she was.

(32:39):
I think she was the real Dinasic. She wasn't an
actress and so but yeah, but Bridges is I can
picture him sitting around at a at a late night
jamfest like in Fogerty's garage, saying, hey, man, come on
here and listen to this. I can picture that happening.
We had some ahole from New York orders trout We
ain't sell no trout out. She told him here, here's

(33:02):
the here's your menu. Heard that given venue, here's what
you're going to order. Either you don't want the corn
on the cob or you don't want the green beads.
If she wasn't an actress because she was a she
was actually a waitress in that bar and restaurant. Somebody
came up to her and asked her to do it.
You can Garret ask t that ate the last role
she was asked to do, and that kind of that's
a Taylor shared him.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
I think she was because did Sheridan do What's the
movie with bard m and Tommy Lee Jones and No
Country from Yeah, another damn good movie. Yeah, I think
that she was one of the convenience store people. Oh,
I'm guessing that Sheridan was like, you know what you're
you're in these small like New Mexico, Texas towns.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
You're you're in the country. Girl who's like, welcome into
a hotel to the That's what it was. Yeah, she was.
She was the hotel at the front desk. Yeah, there
you go.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
Yeah, at one of those roadside motels. So that where
you ent her from the outside, not the inside.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yeah, motel. Motel's doors are outside. The one that's got
the flash inside falls out, says no vacancy or vacancy
what two of the lights are burned out, air conditioning
cable TV HBO and the air conditionings loud as hell,
so to drown out any other noise outside, and inevitably
somebody is gonna park there at night and be a weirdo.
Yeah you know what I'm saying. I mean, and that's
the case. That's no doubt. That's what Barnem did, no doubt.

(34:18):
Yeah he's good. He's good with a what he's really
good with a with a nail gun. I was gonna say, yeah,
a little air pistol ceo too much? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that was he was scary. He's sure. He became a
really good villain from that movie. Another hell of fight
actor too.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Yeah, underrated, All those those types of movies right now,
those are the ones that are crushing, like I think
people are done with, like you know, oh it's in
southern California, it's in Hollywood. They're like, no, no, no, no,
give us West Texas.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
That's why Sheridan's building all that movie house and stuff
on his on a lot of his property out here.
So and I'm sure the guys like McConaughey at all
that are saying, thank you, just keep it here so
don't have to get on a plane and go somewhere else.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Right, brother, No doubt, no doubt he had stuff. McConaughey,
by the way, new book out Poems and Prayers. Good
for Matthew McConaughey. Listen here he put out.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
If he put out a book that said a recipe
book that said spam, swich, mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and spam,
it's all of it, like like if nobody's had it,
and it'd sell eight million copies because well and seven
seven million, four hundred thousand of them would be right
here in Texas, right, So it's not a bad gig
when you're that popular, So good on him.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
He did his poem was called Participation Trophy that he
did on The Rogan Show, and he asked, can I
share one and Joe's please?

Speaker 2 (35:39):
And he did and Rogan was like, that's a good one.
I would imagine those two running in similar circles, that
both of them living off. Oh yeah, they talk conspiracy theories,
all of that.

Speaker 5 (35:47):
It was.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
It was good stuff.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
One thing that he had because you know, I mean,
Matthew is kind of a philosopher of our time that
being kind is selfish and he said, but he said,
he said, people think of the word selfish for negative connotations.
He's like, we got to we got to be able
to fix that. He's like, because of course you're doing
it for yourself, but you know you're also doing it.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
We will name me one who isn't at some point time,
because if you're not, you're not real good. You've got
to be single minded, almost selfish with your Tiger Woods.
Would you call him selfish? Sure? I mean at time
and unfortunately at times it costs you a family, Tom
Brady selfish, Well, you may all of us, yeah, maybe
at different levels, but selfish because oh, I got to
go do this. I gotta work, I got to cut

(36:27):
into this time, I gotta do this. Of Course I
want this. Of course I want to negotiate more money.
Of Course I want to be the best. If you're not,
I met one successful person wasn't selfish at some point.
If if you're Tiger Woods and you've got a family
and you're hitting eight hours of bunker shops out of
the bunker when you're at the prime of your career,
some would call that selfish. Others would say that's good,
but that's selfish providing. But anybody, you're selfish when you

(36:48):
got to get up and work double the double shift.
If you're coaching, Yeah, but selfish and and that's a
great point. We look at it negative. If you're not
selfish with your time, at some time, you get your
flounder and so you have to But then it brings
the B word in, which is balance and finding a
way to bounce it out so you can make sure.
Because we always look back and you don't say, man,
if I wish I'd have given three more studio shows,

(37:10):
you look back and said, man, on those three studio shows,
I was going to go watch Auburn and Alabama play.
But I didn't want to miss a day of work
with a day off, so I didn't do it. Yeah.
I tell my kids all the time, Man to pass
up that, pass up the one thing for the academics.
You won't be you. I'm not saying the academics all
the time. You get my point. There's that day and
you're saying should I take that trip? Should I? Should

(37:32):
I do that?

Speaker 5 (37:32):
Do it? Do it?

Speaker 2 (37:34):
You always got another day to go back, and when
you do it, do it one hundred percent. Have a blast.
Because I missed out on things, I said, hey, you
know what, wasn't selfish enough right with it? And said
you know, I'll do this. And now you're sitting there saying, okay,
I still want to get to an Alabama Auburn game. Yeah,
and I haven't been to it. Right there? You go,
all right, Chris, we'll work you in. You want to
join them?

Speaker 4 (37:53):
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety Continue
the Astros conversation because been hard on this guy, but
somebody has told me shut my mouth.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
We'll talk about my heart radio station and the Rocket
Sports Talk seven ninety Your home for your home teams
from the Parsons that match it next studios.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Ho, okay, let's do this.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Sean Salisbury usc true longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Dan Matthew, excuse,
this is the Sean Salisbury Show. Five two winners last
night over the Rangers.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
You sweep up that series, jose l two Bay, go
ahead to run Homer Jeremy Panya just for good measure,
solo Homer later in the game, and the Mariners lose
to the Royal seven to five in Kansas City. They're
half game back a Strows in the Al West. They're
going to close out that series today in Kansas City
before they come here, and Texans back to work to
get ready for the Jags Sunday in Jacksonville. They're own

(39:04):
two on the season. Continue the Astros conversation in just
a second. But someone three two, one, two, five, seven
ninety is the number to get in. Speaking of those Stros,
that's where Chris and Jersey Village wants to go. Chris,
good morning, Yeah, Hey, good morning Dan. So yesterday right
before you guys talked to Dana, you're talking bunt talk.
I love bunt talk because we're talking strategy. It's one

(39:26):
of my reasons why I love baseball so much. There's
so many different intricacies and strategies that take place during
the course of a game in the season. So, Sean,
I wanted to say, your instincts were right on the money, man,
al Tuove. Yeah, on Tuesday night did the right thing
by bunning the two guys over second and third, And

(39:50):
I kept waiting to hear the main greason why Altuove
would want to do that, and it's to stay out
of the double play. I don't remember hearing you guys
saying that yesterday, that Altuve wanted to talk out of
the double play.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
What we did. We also said with the thank you,
you're some type. It was your nine. You wouldn't want
you wouldn't worry about staying out of the double play.
You're gonna let him swing away just because that's who
he is. With al two A. Normally you'd let him
swing away, but the situation called to move him over
and it was the right move.

Speaker 7 (40:20):
Yeah, you're right, Sean, you know and I and I
looked it up while I was on hold, and who's
in the top three this season for hitting it into
the most double plays. It's Jose al Tove was nineteen,
so that's all of baseball that Altave is number three
in for hitting into double play. So the players struggling
like he has been, it was the right move. There

(40:41):
are times to bunt, So analytical guy says, yeah, you're
giving away an out. Well, analytics doesn't take into account
the Altov's history this year fitting into the double plays
and situational baseball where he's struggling. He's just trying to
stay out of the double play. So if you guys
said it, my apologies. But anyway, I'm happy about taking

(41:02):
home the silver boot. Sean, That's a big deal for me.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Man.

Speaker 7 (41:06):
I hate the Rangers, talk to you later.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Love it.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
I appreciate Chris. Thank you Chris.

Speaker 4 (41:10):
And with that tiebreaker over the Rangers, I mean effectively
you're now six games up on them. I mean because
really with that you'd be five and a half. But
I mean you can't play half a game. So from
this point on, nine games for US, nine games for them,
and you pretty much win four games, you knock them
out of the playoffs. So that's what that win last
night did. And in terms of the bunting thing, I

(41:32):
just I think that people look at it like it's
a magic bullet. Well it's not, because you actually have
to be able to execute it, and al Tuve did
it worked out. But I mean, how many times have
we seen an astro try to lay down a bunch
and it's popped up and it's caught or it's hit
foul and you do it a couple of times and
then you're oh two, So you're not gonna do it
again unless you want to be Kyle Schwarber and just

(41:54):
say here, I'm giving up in that bat here because
I'm not hitting this guy.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Yeah, well guess who's not in my lineup, Kyle Schwarber. Okay,
I don't care if you're oer for seventy eight. That
one will be a five hundred foot home run, So
I'll take that, you know. But yeah, I there's a
time and a place and you do. That's the biggest
problem is the execution of it, because you just don't
work on it. They just don't. It's it's become oh

(42:19):
my gosh, somebody I'm not just talk about here, I'm
not about baseball. Oh my gosh. Somebody got a bunt
down and actually pushed it to the first base side
to move runners over to get them to second third. Wow,
you know what I mean. When it happens, we are
absolutely shocked, as opposed the opposite. When a guy who
squares around a bunch, what's your first thought? Honestly, oh,

(42:40):
don't pop it up to the catcher. You know, we don't,
don't you think on any type yet there are situations
at call for the al twov thing. Did the Al
two Bay situation? Did call for it? Because that would
have been old school baseball. They'd have praised forever, put
runners in scoring position. Now, you know, hit the ball,
get the ball through, you drive in two right. So
it's amazing how the narrative is shifted. But one thing

(43:02):
I know about baseball, situational baseball matters more than something
that's sitting on a card and understand how to play
it in real life.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
Well, and that's the thing too, is track record back
of the baseball card, all of that. The fan base
is tired of hearing all of that. And then if
you noticed, you know, credit to Dana he stopped going
that route because I mean, it's just it's it's a
losing argument at that point because you're not talking about
the same guy when they tried to do that with
jose A.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Bray.

Speaker 4 (43:26):
You you were not talking about the guy that won
the MVP. You knew that he wasn't the same player.
He knew he wasn't. Everybody knew that he wasn't the
same players, So your back of the baseball card didn't matter.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Well, yeah, and I think that at times that was
a go to just to validate Well, that's why he's
here at some still time out. Sure, ye, sure, when
the truth of the matter is, the back of the
baseball card from last year to this year doesn't mean
a hill of beans is what you're talking about, And
it doesn't. So hopefully, hopefully the there's a part of
the back of the baseball card it's going to be

(43:58):
added to in a big way for the Astros.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
And nice if this is the season they did it,
and this was the time of year to do it, No,
it is. I mean, this is the time of year
when you want to be playing your best baseball. And
if indeed the Astros are playing their best baseball, well
then it could work out.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Could Joe a Spota be a reason for that? Was
another guy that you thought that should have been fired.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
You know, I've been the one who's been the one
inside the fortress being able to hold off the pitchforks
and and the torches out there trying to come after
Joe a spot.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Would you say you went after Did you say you
criticized Joe with just a fork and not a pitchfork?
Is that what it was? No, because you were going
to say you went after somebody, somebody told you to
back off.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
Let's just say that there's been some creative differences at
times for how the job is done. I mean, you
know the thing with Chandler Rome the other day, wasn't
a big fan of that early on in the season.
With jord On, Oh, he gives us the thumbs up,
he's good to go, and it's like, okay, Like you
can't say that because you find out less than a
few days later that he's got a fracture on his hands.
So that's not the case, man, So like, maybe have

(44:59):
a me meeting with somebody before you say such things
like I don't know if that's the optimist in you.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Do not think that they had a meeting about this.
I would hope that they did. Yeah, So wouldn't you
think that that's like the here's how we're going to
handle this well.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
And then from the meeting well, and then you know,
there's some other things, and I get the method to
the madness With Sunday, I had said when you lost
that game, I said, well here comes after the game,
Well we want a series.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
And it's like, oh, okay, fine, but think about it
going in. You begged for a winning series. That's what
you said. You said that will be successful. You said,
you win the series, give me two out of you
wanted four out of six in these two games, you
got three.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
So far.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
I was gonna say, now, my logic is you get
one more. It's a successful home site. So but you're
mad at Joe for saying they won a series. But
your number one thing was if they win a series,
you'll jump for joy. So what's the difference.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
I think that it was a carryover to of when
they were struggling of the you know, we're putting together
good at bats. That's a really good picture over there.
It's like your fan base doesn't want to hear that. Man, Okay,
what do these players?

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Dude? The fan base is important, But I'm always scared
because I listen. I can't stand coach speak dude, I'm
just being the devil's advocate. Sure, the stuff that drives
you crazy. He's a real lunch pale guy, right collar guy.
Shut up, But when's the last time. Listen you hear
guys they can get their ass kick, but says our

(46:20):
guys fought hard. You're hearing football games and the reporters
out there and they're going, hey, you know got but
are we fought hard? That's a great, Well, we gave
great effort. Well, you get your scholarship where you're getting
paid to give great effort. Great thank you, pro should be.
That's exact.

Speaker 5 (46:33):
Well.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
I don't care if you're a high schooler. You may
not be on scholarship, but nil. Now I'm assuming you're
getting paid somewhere, so you damn well. I better not
have to say, hey man, I'm never giving anybody credit
for playing hard. I'm just not sorry. I'm just not Now.
We give credit to people playing hard when they're partying.
That's I'll give you credit for that. Man, you partied
hard after the victory, I ain't giving you credit. You're

(46:54):
getting paid fifteen million bucks a year that you actually
had to play nine innings, okay, or they actually had
to play a full basketball game of forty eight months,
or you actually had to grind through getting your ass
kicked and play the next week. And I ain't given
one soul. Now, if your hamstring snapped and you still
fighting your way through, you got a broken leg and
you're playing, I'll give you credit for that. You're not
getting credit for playing hard. If you don't play hard,
you're a turn anyway. And it's disrespectful not just to you,

(47:17):
but to your organization and especially the guy sitting next
to you his busting his ass. So no credit there.
But I just asked this because dude, it drives me nuts.
Coach speak. I get it, But what should he have said? Well,
when you when you have a guy that you really
don't know, I deep down believe now if all of
a sudden they wake up to remember Dana said yesterday,
two or three days, and then will be able to

(47:38):
get a better idea whether it goes on the il
or not. And I know having injuries. Listen, whether you
think the injury should keep a guy out or not,
that's not my point, the doctor's part. I'm talking about
how to handle it. I know this, Then when you
get it back in the even when I was playing,
when I tore up my ankle, Well, when you tore ligaments,
they knew right away because you're going to get the

(47:59):
X At the time before MRI machines were a big
X ray and they did it. But what happens whether
they won't take the X ray until a day or
two later. And that's a fact. It's happened to me
on different parts of my body. Okay, then they get
it and sit so I don't believe right now they
know how severe because swelling now I don't know. And
then it comes back down to one thing that none

(48:20):
of us can gauge. We can talk about it because
he's big and he's physical and he's strong. I don't
know what Jordan Alvarez's threshold of pain is, and neither
do you, and neither do They may have started to
figure it out, I don't know. So if it is
an ankle sprain, there is only one thing to it.
What is your level of threshold? If it's not ligaments,
I think all of us are wondering if a day
it's going to come out and say, oh man, they

(48:41):
tore ligaments and he's out right. Of course, I get
why that bothers people. But I'm just trying to get
back into I'd like to what do you think he's
supposed to say about his team, whether they're struggling or not.
I love guys who put the team on the spot,
say listen, we're not playing well enough and if we
don't play better, we got no shot. We got to
hit better. I got no problem with that if you're
not just putting names on it, that you're talking about

(49:02):
a wee thing. Players know who he's talking to. But
my thing, when it comes to the injuries we get
so I can just say this time, I'm sure and
every time, but what explanation are we looking for? Well,
we're just looking for more.

Speaker 4 (49:18):
I'm not gonna say it's it's a dishonest approach, but
at least seems like it's a deceiving approach by the organization.
And I don't think that's a Joe thing. I don't
think that's a Dana thing. I've told you numerous times.
They're just the messengers. You're getting mad at the wrong people. Okay,
then why are you mad at Jail?

Speaker 2 (49:34):
What did he do? I don't think it offended Chandler
Roman Chandler didn't offend him. I think it's just a
great reporter and a and a and a guy who's
the manager here, who's done a hell of a job,
and you know, emotions. And if Chandler Rome didn't ask it,
or somebody didn't ask it and Chandler did, I think
it would have been you missed an opportunity to find out, well,
is he going on IL right there? That's why it's
got to be asked. But just because he was a

(49:55):
little testy. If you're in the media, how many times
you dealt with it? We deal with it all the time.
The key is are you more sensitive or did Joe?
I don't think Joe yell at him. He didn't yell
at him. He simply said, dude.

Speaker 5 (50:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
It's like he didn't say if you were putting him
on the IL, but he said he was going to
take it day at a time. They're going to find
out what's more significant in a long period. How do
you put a guy on the I L when you
don't know from the night before to the next morning.
How do you put him on the I L if
you're not sure and you got to wait to get
the full result of the images. How would you not
then just say it? Well, can't you? But can't you
read between those lines? Does he need a babysity? No,

(50:35):
you need it, You need it on the record, you
need it said, No, you need it said, he doesn't
need it said, You need it said to fulfill whatever
it is it's going on in a fan that here's
one thing that if we've all had to learn it
me you as on this side of it, is we
think that we deserve every answer about every injury, and
quite frankly, you don't. You don't and you and you

(50:58):
never will get it from any organization. Now, guys walking
around in a cast on his wrist, you could put, well,
how long is it going to be out? He's got
a plaster cast on his wrist or whatever we're wearing.
That is what do you think ain't gonna be anytime soon?
So I listen, I'm with you on the disdain part
of the frustration of it. But maybe it's because on
the other side of it, seeing how they handle injuries,

(51:19):
that I'd say the same thing. We're good, don't worry
about the time. They're not going anywhere. Is that we
just the understanding of once you understand what your expectations
are if somebody come an injury report coming out of
a manager or a coach's mouth is going to fall
short of your expectations. And you know, I think I
can read between the lines. You're not seeing Jordan Alvarez

(51:40):
in the regular season. If you do, look at it
as a bonus and hopefully you'll get it now in
five days to come back. Say Red took more images
and there's a crack there, he's out, then we could
I don't know if that would say, well, they didn't
tell us the truth. I think they always err on
the side of caution and protection of the player, and
it drives us crazy. But it's not gonna change.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Well, we can continue this after we talked about disaster
being averted and somebody, well, they wanted to make sure
that it was in a huge way. We'll let you
hear that right here as it is the Sean Salisbury
Show on a Thursday Sports Talk seven to ninety.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Hey, DNM Leasing just delivered a truck to a customer
who had listened to D and M for more than
twenty five years. Think about that, and he'd been hearing
these commercials forever, right for decades. He believed leasing was
just renting a car. I put in air quotes, something
you only did if you couldn't afford to buy. And
who hasn't been there, right, guys. But DNM Leasing's here
to change that. That changed when the dealership offered him

(52:40):
an eighty four month loan. He knew he'd trade the
truck in in a few years, and he knew he'd
end up well upside down again, owing more than it
was worth. Well, that's when he remembered the dn M
commercials ever seen a Texas title, And when you trade
in a long finance contract, the only thing you own
is negative equity quotes. So we called DNM leasing showed

(53:02):
him is that leasing isn't about what you can afford.
It's simply the smarter way most people pay for their vehicles. Smarter.
See what smarter does for you? And DNM leasing is smart.
Leasing isn't renting. Let me say it again, Leasing isn't renting,
it's smarter. Who doesn't want smarter? Harder doesn't always work.
Smarter does, and especially when it puts money in your

(53:23):
pocket and makes it easier for you at the beginning,
the middle, and the end. Dial seven one three two
nine zero one thousand, seven one three two nine zero
one thousand, or visit us at dn M. It's DNM leasing,
dmauto leasing dot Com. Dmauto leasing dot Com. They continue
to win awards and there's a reason why DNM. It's

(53:45):
dmauto leasing dot Com. Who's Who's Sean, Sean, He's the
yseternal judge who sits on high here's the final say
on all disputes. Back to the Sean Salisbury Show on
Sports Talk seven ninety All right, Sean, what are you
hearing out there now? The Salisbury's takeout, Salisbury's takeout on

(54:10):
the Sean.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
Salisbury Show, Sean Salisbury Shows Sports Talks seven ninety stros
sweeping up those Rangers. Love to see that jose L
Tuvey go ahead to run Homer that too. We love
to see Mariners lose to the Royals seven to five.
So that means the Astros now half game lead in
the American League West. All right, Flying, We've talked about

(54:34):
it numerous times. We've talked about behavior of people. What
about the absolute safety up there? Well, it almost was
unsafe for probably the most noticeable citizen we have in
this country. The potus as Air Force one was up
in the sky and they were flying over Long Island
at one point. And I'm guessing that the Boston Control

(54:55):
Tower is the one that talks two planes. Well, there's
a certain airline out there. Their airplanes are yellow. We're
not gonna name names, don't have to. But their pilot
go ahead. It sucks, and they were in the wrong space,
go ahead, flying flying close enough.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
They need better. They did a better spirit about them.

Speaker 4 (55:11):
Well yeah, some would say, yeah, yeah, you know, some
some would say that team spirit morale was low at
this point.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
Again, well yeah again, yeah, well you know, it's got
a long way to go to be able to rise.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
Well, in this case, a guy in the Boston Control tower,
one of the air traffic controllers for the pilot in
the plane that was not Air Force one, letting them know, hey, brother,
back off.

Speaker 8 (55:36):
Here at thirteen hundred twenty degrees, right back just traffic
and defense, say attention, speirit thirteen hundred twenty degrees. Right
here at thirteen hundred twenty degrees. Right now, speer Wing
thirteen hundred turned twenty degrees right immediately.

Speaker 5 (55:50):
Twenty there is right heer Wing thirteen hundred.

Speaker 8 (55:53):
Pay attention the twenty nine fifty one Boston Center one
three four point zero. There thirteen hundred traffics off your
left wing by six or eight miles seven forty seven.
I'm sure you can see who it is. It's flightable
three two zero, maintain three three zero. I'll keep an
eye on before he's white and blue at fifteen hundred
to set one three four point zero. I gotta talk

(56:13):
to you quice every time you're at thirteen hundred box
one three four point zero. Pay attention, Get off the iPad.

Speaker 4 (56:22):
That is such a classic, But don't you want your
air traffic controllers to be that way every every freaking time.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Pay attention, Get off your iPad. I've told you four times,
and it's not just twenty degrees. Do it now immediately.
And I love too how he's I gotta tell you
this twice? Yeah, yeah, and you're repeating yourself. Well that's
good because seemingly I need to see that seven forty seven,
eight miles to your left. Yeah, I'm asking you to
bank twenty degrees right, uh that you got to your

(56:52):
left at seven forty so I'm sure you know who
it is. It's a white and powdered white and blue
got a flag on it. I would suggests that if
you go any closer than eight miles, and I have
to tell you again that there's gonna be a bunch
of fighter pilots that are going to take you. And
you want to talk about your spirit ruined, it'll be
ruined quickly because then they can only deduct that your

(57:14):
plane is being manipulated by somebody else, and the closer
if they honestly we joke about that. Now, Thank goodness,
you've got a guy paying attention, and think about this.
Eight miles is way too close, dude. Make sure you
get imagine if they bank the other way and close
the gap to six miles, five miles, you know what happens.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Right, Oh, you're getting fighter jets up in the sky
faster than giving you the last warning.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
Not three of them, one of them, one more, one
more bank our way, and it's not going to end
well for you.

Speaker 4 (57:47):
That's when they put Maverick in your ear saying hey,
back off now. Yes, otherwise, a nice little tomahawk is
coming right at you and it.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Won't miss no. So that and if you're the pilot
looking at your iPad after you've done urinating yourself, you
don't only bank twenty degrees. You probably bake forty and say,
let me get as far away from this as I
can because I'm not risking getting any closer. Bad idea.
A guy to your left eight.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
Miles they're going to protect him, you think, Yeah, they're
going to protect him. Now, everybody on your flight, well
just for you, And look, I mean I get it.
I mean I appreciate the air traffic controller, love him
for being the way that he was firm. But also two,
I mean you're the pilot, like, how are you not
listening for that immediately and immediately responding and saying, oh, yeah,

(58:36):
I can see him a right, got it?

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Yeah? See you. Well, if you're the air traffic controller,
guess whose ass is in a sling something? If he
does get closer, Yep, not just him. Looks like when
you lose a game, quarterback throws three picks. Guess what.
Guess whose fault it is too? The coach? Yeah, so yeah,
I think he realized that. Dude, I'm going to tell
you for the fifth time, and this will be the
last one because the next people that are going to
talk to you are going to be those guys like

(58:59):
you said, it's gonna be acan the lead dog saying
about another mile closer, and you're gonna end up a
place you did. Well, you're gonna end up where you
you're not getting to your destination.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
You have the planes with two seats that's exactly stacked
behind each other, that's exactly right right at you, not
one that's got a bunch of them right.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
Thank goodness that ended. We can talk about it like
this and not in a way that well, that airline
got a little too cute, because wouldn't you have assumed
if you're the if you're air Force one or the
air traffick controller, you have did something's going on and
this guy is completely disobeying a direct order from the
President of United States plane. Yeah, okay, get out. So

(59:39):
you'd have to think, and in light of what's going
on in our country that there would be you would
You got no choice. And so thank goodness, they went
twenty degrees the other way and got out of the way,
and nobody back in the cabin was for any of
the wiser. There you go, wise move. We just say
we're just we've been deviating because of a little weather. Yeah,

(01:00:00):
big deal, what's the weather. It's that big ass blue
play that that plane that's got the United States of
America on it. Yeah, you know there's a guy in there.
It's pretty important. Yeah, yeah, i'd say, I'd say we
need to avoid him, even if he wasn't on it.
Get away, don't don't, don't temp faint. Yeah that you
could tell the urgency in the air traffic controller's voice,

(01:00:21):
composed and poised, but firm.

Speaker 4 (01:00:24):
I gotta believe Faffo would have been the next one.
All right, you've done the f A. Now we're gonna
do the fo Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
And when you do, when you do, since you're late
doing it, when you do, make sure you stop into
the main office because we've got some we got some
verbige once on Wyatt took so long and what the
hell are you doing? No? Yeah, not that that's a
place you don't well, it's a safe place to be
if you're if you're in Unison, it ain't a safe
place to be if you're if you're the wrong side

(01:00:53):
of that. Don't giveness. That guy finally listened. That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
Don't be on the wrong side, all right. The back
have been had over at dyke In Park, and one
guy in particular, speaking up and having the back of
somebody else.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
We'll discuss here.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
Sean Salisbury Show on a throwback Thursday Sports Talk seven
ninety and I had to live there for the Sean
Salisbury Show continued, and I said that the backs have
been had over at dyke In Park. Well, Jeremy Pania,
he's got the back of Joe Aspota talking with MLB
dot Com and a story Brian McTaggart putting up yesterday saying, quote,

(01:01:30):
I feel like why Joe Aspada is such a great
manager with all the adversity we faced all year, he
finds a way to keep the team motivated. He finds
a way to give confidence to every single player that
we are a great team. You want to play for
a manager like that. So to your point, Sean, about
the way that he's handled certain things, it sounds like that,

(01:01:52):
if nothing else, it's been confidence and comfort in that
clubhouse that hey, our guys got our back. And Joe's
only a second year man. I mean this time next year,
we're gonna be talking about a guy in his third
year who had never managed before. A lot of guys
that are in that position, the pressure does.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Get to him.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
The calls for being reactionary do get to them, and
that's quickly a way for guys to look at him
and say, hey, brother, you ain't long for this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
You know what I love about him the same things
that may drive some crazy, is it? And I know
we won't fire, but he's Have you seen a guy
in the first two years ever be as even keeled
as him. I mean, I'm sure they're out there, but
the ability to not allow the stuff to get to him,
that's hard to do, dude, because there's plenty of times
that you could sit there and say, you know, and

(01:02:38):
we do that about every coach, every manager, right, and
it does take a different breed not to respond to
everything that's said to you or about you, right. And
don't you think it's wise that he's not on social media? Yeah,
I mean they do pay attention to have somebody pay attention,
but where he can just focus on his job. But
can you imagine in that job having to be a
guy who if every decision you made you were worried.

Speaker 4 (01:02:59):
With, the action was going to be like if it
was Trump on social media of one a game the
greatest team ever, right, right, winning like nobody's business.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
Right, So there is I mean, okay, they've had their
ups and downs. Can he not still be considered for
Manager of the Year? I think that's so?

Speaker 6 (01:03:20):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Okay? But locally I understand the frustration about the lineups.
But Joe Spot it didn't cause Jordan Alvarez to hurt
his ankle, you know, So okay, Now I want you
to do this. I think it was the case for
a spot as a okay, so think about this. So
that was the headline. Basically, think about this now. I
want you to remove injury talk from Dana Brown and

(01:03:45):
from Joe Spotta. I want you to remove that from
them as you with your judgment of them. Right now now,
I want you to remove what they've said about players
that are heard and start with Joe Spotta. Tell me
what kind of job he done this year. I think
he's done eight plus work all of a sudden, let's say,
is what answered all of this. We've had all these injuries,

(01:04:05):
almost thirty of them, and we're going to overcome them, bam.
And that was the only way he answered the questions
all year long about and somebody else the doctor, some
said you handled it, that you weren't mad at Joe
or Dana because they didn't give you the full scoop
on a guy's injury. Okay, they didn't even address it.
They left it to medical people and trainers or mister Crane.

(01:04:28):
I want you to go by performance and what he's
had to deal with. Well, it's all the first place
I'm talking about the just take this year into everything
that's coming to play and remove what he has to
answer at press conferences for injuries or Dana on Wednesdays
when I have to ask him, Now, judge them, judge
spot a first and tell me you're in Boston and

(01:04:51):
you're a media writer and you're voting for the co
manager of the year. And I just put that out there.
And he doesn't hear the injury talk. He just knows
there's been twenty eight people put on il or hurt
or miss time a lot of time this year. Whatever
it is, right, And then you look at the record,
and you look at formidable teams in the division, and

(01:05:11):
now ask yourself, who's done a better job with less
this year? Is it the best manager on the best team.
No offense to Dave Roberts or no offense to something.
But if you're loaded and you're supposed to win one
hundred games, and you win a ninety eight of them,
You've had a hell of a year. But are we
disappointed in you? Your neck and neck with the Astros

(01:05:32):
right now? Record wise, the Dodgers are. But my point is,
let's say the Dodgers won one hundred games, right and
they won the division by ten games. They have one
more win than you do. Okay, let's say they wont
the division by ten games. I'm talking about with all
the pub and the pomp and the money, don't we
expect that more. We went in expecting mid eighties wins
for the Astros this year eighty five to eighty eight wins.

(01:05:52):
So the best teamvted the National Nobody had them over
ninety wins this year. The best team in baseball right
now has ninety three, and that's the Milwaukee Burs. Okay,
and I got news for you. Nobody thought Milwaukee was
gonna be the best team in baseball. They thought they'd
be good, but competing, not the best team in baseball.
So I'll ask again, considering all that's gone on and
going in, remember before the injuries, most of them even happened,

(01:06:14):
except the ones that were last year. That were still
carried over. You lost Bregman and you lost Kyle Tucker.
Now once again, give me the evaluation from a national
writer who's not here, has to deal with listening to
answer the questions about, oh, he's out for a day
or it will take it it one day at a
time with the injury, just performance related over what they've
had to deal with, just everything in the umbrella other

(01:06:37):
than answering medical questions.

Speaker 4 (01:06:39):
I've got a should and could. The should is you
should vote for him. But the could is it's not
performance or anything else. It's going to be it's the astros.
I'm not voting for him.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Well, okay, that's what that's going to be, right if
you were fair and took that out just on performance related,
has anybody done a better job managing this year? I
don't believe. I don't believe, so okay, well then there's
your answer. So basically the judgement locally on Joe's way.
Now you may disagree with why is the guy running?
Why did you keep that guy in an extra inning?
Why didn't you why didn't you put a bray you
into clothes? Why was it kimbrill or why whatever it is?

(01:07:09):
But That happens to every manager all year long. People
get a question, why didn't we move the guy over?
Why is he not pinch hitting? Why is this guy
not hitting second or third? But just on sheer performance
other than the day to day grind that goes on
when we judge people in their performance, who's done a
better job. So you're basically telling me the reason why

(01:07:30):
locally that people wouldn't think he's a Manager of the
Year is simple. They don't like the way that they've
handled medical questions. Correct, it's not even medical questions. It's
about twenty seventeen, is what it would be. Yeah, I'm
talking about locally judging a spota if they're mad. Most
of the disdain for Dana Brown that people who are
bothered by or is what when it comes to Yeah,
aside from oh man personnel he brought in, oh he

(01:07:53):
saw through the forest of the trees, and they got
this guy and then' that Cole and this guy. And
so if you're just judging on performance, I don't see
how you can say. I will ask you this, would
the Milwaukee Brewers with all these losses be in first
place right now?

Speaker 5 (01:08:07):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
With the Yankees if they lost Judge Stanton and three
of their starting pitchers that they expected to be would
they be in first place? I mean, would they be
battling for plaifswap they've got them and they're not. Okay,
So I can make the argument that the managers of
the year are in Milwaukee and Houston should be. But again,

(01:08:32):
like I said, should and could are two different things.
But locally, we should probably be really happy that Joe's
done the job that he's done. Considered, because I know this,
a lot of guys would have just called this a
hall Past year.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
Well, I mean not only a hall Past year. I
mean even with the struggles and you fall behind the division,
this thing could have spiraled out of control.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
You could have seen this team go in the opposite.
But if we are being honest with ourself, all of
us media and fans that watch and love base and
love sports, if we're being honest with ourselves with all
this that happened, if I would have asked you in
March and asked you now and say this is what's
going to happen, told you foreshadowed everything and we got
to this point, every single one of us, without looking

(01:09:14):
at the right wead have said, there's no frigging what
it would have never matched where they are. It never
you would have said they'll be lucky to finish in
third place in the division. That's what we'd have said.
I would have said it. And if we're being honest,
not the Homer, this is our Astros just looking at
what you had to overcome. There's no damn way at
all any of us would have said, oh, they're going

(01:09:35):
to be right where there. If I'd have told you
this in March, you'd have said, I'll see you in
twenty twenty six. That's what I can't wait till football season.
They're a half game in front of first place, and
that's not I'm glass have a full guy that's not well.
The Brown knows the Astros because I think there's things
they got to do. I'm still not sure they're a
world serious team, but with at the plate, they still
got some things to do. But I could tell you this,
if you'd told me that in March that this was

(01:09:56):
going to be where we were after what happened, I'd
have told you you're on and you sure as hell
wouldn't have bet them to win the division out the
Astros at your own peril. Seems like that is the
case right now.

Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
All right, so we'll continue talking the astros because you
asked for it and you got it. Now can somebody
else do it? We'll discuss here on the Sean Salisbury Show.
But first, I mean tell you about it all the time,
and tell you about them jbar m barbecue. You know
the brisket, you know the jalapeno cheddar sausage, you know
the ribs, all the great barbecue that are Rashed and

(01:10:27):
his crew fire up back there in the pit room.
But I'm also mentioning specials lately, Like Sean, you're gonna
be hungry when it comes to lunchtime today. What if
I could interest you for eighteen dollars in your choice
of housemade at chicken fried chicken or chicken fried steak
served with mashed potatoes or green beans. Eighteen dollars coming
your way.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Jack, the green beans, have the mashed potatoes, had a
little bit of everything there, And I assure you, as
you described that, for eighteen bucks, you'll probably need a
to go bag after your full to eat a second
meal or a cot you off. Oh yeah, it's phenomenal,
it's just great. So we talk about all the great
things to parking. You don't need reservations. It's twenty two

(01:11:09):
o one Leland Street. You don't need an event to
go there, whether it's taking home or go there and
enjoy the indoor outdoor and the music, and you can
have a party there. There's plenty of room to have
space and all those things. Let me reverse it once.
I challenge somebody, and I've asked people, and I look
at reviews, and I find somebody who disagrees. It ain't

(01:11:29):
gonna be my dad. Find somebody who disagrees. Great food,
customer service, it's not even when it's crowded. It's not crowded,
if you get what I'm saying. Moving fast and from
pittmaster to customer service, to ownership to the man who
runs the show and is still at work every day,
and he is in his ninety's, got more energy than
fifteen of your grandkids and still doing it. There's a

(01:11:51):
commitment to doing it great and right. And the food matches.
I don't know why. I mean try them all. I
mean to try them all and then come see us
try them all, and then come tell me that Jbarn
Barbecue isn't as top shelf as there is. Mom and
dad now live in the.

Speaker 4 (01:12:05):
Mecca of barbecue here in the state Central Texas. And
my dad when the catering order that's in play too,
because Offfee and the crew do a great shot up here.

Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
Is I didn't play good.

Speaker 4 (01:12:14):
It's a jbar and Barbecue, and my dad had some
of that brisket and goes best brisket I've had in
a really long time.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
It's phenomenon. My dad's been eating some brisket for a
really long time. They better continue to be great, and
they will because we're telling them how great they are.
You're not going to walk in there and come back
and say, man, they didn't live up to Sewn and
Dan's expectations. You're going to say, they're exactly who we thought.

Speaker 4 (01:12:31):
One hundred percent and even exceed your expectations. When you
go in there, you got that full service bar beer
garden outside. Jbarm Barbecue twenty two to one Leland Street.
J Bar M Barbecue. Never a bad time to head
over there again. Jbarm Barbecue, twenty two to one Leland
Street in Ito.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
Let the celebration start. Or Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk
seven ninety let's go Royals.

Speaker 4 (01:12:57):
Send Seattle here one game and then you take two
out of three in that series. If the if you're
the Astros, you're able to gain a game there, let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
You know he's gonna win the divisional series MVP. I
know they don't have one as the championship series night,
but you know he's gonna be the MVP if there
was one. Jose Al twove Hosey is our guy. Joe Electrical,
get it going at the right time. He's gonna go,
and he's gonna go ham okay on on the opponent.
I don't even care who it is. Some would say

(01:13:27):
that last night good. Who would it be?

Speaker 4 (01:13:30):
Let's say they get the two hole. So if they
got the second seed, and that's assuming that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
Record wise, right now, who would be? Who would they get? Well,
we'd have to see who they come out of the
If they got the second team, we have see who
came out of the wildcard round.

Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
Right they they'd get Detroit right now is the second
if they got out of the wild card round. But
if you know the old if if the season ended
today right and it doesn't, no, it doesn't, they would
be taking on right now, it's a tie between the
Red Sox and the Mariners. I don't know who has
the tiebreaker between the two, but both of those teams

(01:14:05):
play today, so you'd get either of those teams.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
Hose the MVP. Okay, you'll come into that series. We'll say. Now,
if that continues in the in the championship series, good shape. Man,
There you go. I'm just throwing it out there. That's
another reason to stay out. Stay out.

Speaker 4 (01:14:18):
Yeah, that's another reason to stay out the wildcard round,
because I mean, the marriage pitching is tough enough.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
Yeah, stay out the wild card because you have two
bad days and you get to go home.

Speaker 4 (01:14:27):
Well, there's there's a really good chance that you'd have
one really bad day because you'd face Garrett Crochet and
I don't think he's gonna let what happened the last
time of heear happen again.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
Well that hasn't happened many times, two times in a
row this year for him. He's pretty good. Yeah. So
if you're facing Crochet, you're facing Schooble, you're facing your
facing Sanchez, You're facing those guys in baseball right now,
right well, last night, you're facing Hunter Brown, You're facing
that kind of guy.

Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
Well, I mean, good pitching, as we've said numerous times,
will travel, and it did last night because you get
a really good performance out of Christian Hobby here, who
gives you six innings?

Speaker 2 (01:14:59):
Yeah, please will, So we got to put some respect
on there. It was really good by him.

Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
It was where Javier last night had six innings, only
one walk, and he struck out four, giving up five
hits and those two earned runs. But a great performance
out of him, a guy that not necessarily you counted
on that out of. And now I mean I'm looking
at Fromber and saying, hey.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
Sure, turn step it upon Alexander and he didn't even
pitch his best and he's still grinded you.

Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
You want that decline on the money that's going to
be paid to you the soft season to stop and
start to tick back up.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
Yeah, he's it's time to elevate like the ace of
the staff. And he does that.

Speaker 4 (01:15:37):
I mean, that's that's another thing too, is I mean
he's been a guy that's been a liability for you,
he becomes an asset for you again.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
Yeah, but doesn't don't they just pure raw analytics of
this tell you that he has to turn this around.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
Soon enough, he'll find that stuff against the game plan
and stop intentionally hitting catchers unintentionally according to some And if.

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
You walk a guy or somebody gets a hit right
after a walk, settle in and get one of your
ground balls for a double play, and everything's gonna be okay.

Speaker 4 (01:16:03):
Is this where Correa breaks out the return of the
playoff series in San Diego against the Rays, go to
the mound and maybe even an index finger to the chest,
being like you better.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Whatever it takes, and he'll have he'll have his finger
on the pulse snow pun intended of what's going on,
whether it's finger of the chest or arm around him,
but an arm around him, but you know how you
put your dad will put his arm around you. But
he'll squeeze a little bit, squeeze like I love your son,
but I'll let you know that, Hey, there's things to
be done here. So it's it's a it's and with

(01:16:34):
a smile on his face, right, And so if he
can step his game up and match what he's seeing
from his fellow peers on the mound, on his teammates,
then it's good. But you just think that it has
to for a guy with that kind of stuff. Right,
can't this can't continue. There's no way he's not hurt.

(01:16:55):
There's no way this can continue. And he's got to
quit getting his feelings hurt and go take care of
his business. And if he does, the Astros become a
dangerous team again because pitching it this time of year
will always beat hitting. If both of them are great
pitching whims won't be selfish for the right reasons.

Speaker 4 (01:17:10):
There you go, as we mentioned earlier, and that's what
the Astros are open Fromber can do. You're gonna get
Hunter Brown tomorrow night Fromber on Saturday, and then Jason
Alexander on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
Let's go, all right, we can continue.

Speaker 4 (01:17:21):
The Astros conversation because as I've mentioned, there's reason to dream,
and there's good reason. I'll explain that right here as
we continue the Sewn Salisbury Show, I want to throw

KBMS Houston ADHD two Houston, an iHeartRadio station, The Astros,
the Rockets, rocketssty fall your home for your home teams.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
This is Sports Talk seven ninety from the Parsons and
Match Next studios.

Speaker 4 (01:18:55):
We'll be talking Astros who beat the Rangers last night
five to sweep up that series.

Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
When's silver boot too, So you got that going for you?
Confused with one other boot? Shoot the boot, Doss boot,
Doss boot, that's right, yeah, yeah, which I mean you
do shoot the boot with the Doss boot. Absolutely. There
we go, and the.

Speaker 4 (01:19:13):
Mariners do lose to the Royals in Kansas City seven
to five, So that means your half game up on
them in the Al West, Texans getting back to work,
get ready for the Jags on Sunday in Jacksonville.

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
All right, So I.

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
Mentioned it earlier that now you're a game and a
half back of the Detroit Tigers for the second spot
in the American League standings as a whole. I mean,
you're four and a half back of the Blue Jays.
You're not going to catch them, so don't even worry
about them. But second spot is very much still in play,
and the Astros were trending for that for a really
really long time before injuries and just general struggling at

(01:19:49):
the plate.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
All of that kind of started to bring them back.

Speaker 4 (01:19:51):
But Detroit will play Cleveland one more time today and
the Guardians have beat them the first two games of
this series, so Cleveland going for the sweep today. Cleveland's
still playing and Cleveland still very much needs to win
because at the moment they're on the outside looking in
when it comes to the wildcard picture. Then the Tigers
get the Braves.

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
They are treating it like single elimination in Cleveland, yes
they are, and they have to then they get the
Braves in town over the weekend. We just saw the
Braves over the weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:20:19):
You know that that should not be trouble for uh
the for the Tigers, who, by the way, today Trek
Skubele gonna go for Detroit and he left his last
start early and then through a side.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
Doubtfuly you'll sing to see him perform. You'll have to
beat your best if you're gonna beat him today, you
would think.

Speaker 4 (01:20:37):
And and Cleveland again, they're they're trying to be able
to get into the postseason. So then after that Brave series,
here's where things are. Advantage Astros. Now, I know we
say this all the time because you know the Astros
against teams under five hundred underperforming. The record would show it,
but they have to go to Cleveland for three games,
and Cleveland is again trying to get into the postseason.

(01:20:59):
And oh, by the way, their final three games of
the season in Boston against the Red Sox. The Red
Sox hanging on to one of those wild card spots.
So the Red Sox will be playing competitive games that
you're talking about now, yes, Detroit, yep. So for the Astros,
it's in front of you and it's very much reachable
for you to be able to get that second spot.
If indeed you are able to lock down the aos.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Well, they're gonna have to play with the urgency. Human
nature kicks in and maybe not at this time, the
human nature on the on the good side, you kick
in at this time of year, thinking when we play
an opponent we're supposed to beat, we have to beat
them and whoop them. Uh, you're gonna have to the
same intensity and focus you just saw in this series
to the two and what nineteen runs on the offensive

(01:21:41):
side of on the offensive side, and you're gonna have
to keep that intensity up against two teams you're supposed
to beat four out of six, five out of six,
you just are yet the human nature and in June
would say, oh, we're better than them, We're gonna be okay, correct,
and we've seen the movie. So you have to approach
like you're playing Detroit, like you're playing Cleveland. Who's playing urgency?

(01:22:05):
Hell they might. I don't like to use desperate, but
there's a sense of urgency and a single game elimination.
So that is how you better because just as quickly
as you get let's say they come out of this
and they're a game and a half in front. Now
go lolligag good. Word by the way, like the word
lolligag good. Go go do that against one of these
two teams and lose four out of six, and it

(01:22:29):
can change on a dime, dude, and probably leave you
nine cents change, right, So you don't want to do that.
They have to the only thing reason they don't beat
those other two win those other two series is if
they decide that if they get too comfortable, they have
to play on edge. I don't mean on edge where
you're uptight, but on edge of hey man, we're in
first place, let it rip. We're supposed to dominate them.

(01:22:50):
We're the astros. I know that sounds arrogant, but in truth,
that is exactly how you look at it. And then
they were not there. We're not losing to these guys.

Speaker 4 (01:22:57):
Well refusal to do it, and it's it's messaging side
of the clubhouse two about that of This isn't just
about the division guys. This is let's give ourselves every
chance for that outside chance for Jordan to be back
for a divisional series, for Josh Hater to be back.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
Even though they're playing at home in the next three.
This is as we watch golf, well, I refer to
and you and I talk about a lot. This is
at two hundred and forty five yard par three into
the wind. Are you Scottie Scheffler or are you you
know somebody who leaves Jean Vandervelt No disrespect to Jean

(01:23:35):
Vandervelt at the British Open. You get my point. Who
are you? Because if you're fortunate, you hit it on
the green and two putt and make par and par
In this in truth judging from it, you win two,
you lose one, you win one, you lose too, right,
stay out of a street, just take care of your
hopefully you win all three, but that it's like, damn,
the other guy's good too. He hit it to three feet.

(01:23:55):
I hit it to ten feet. We missed the putty
made it. That's what this is. Then your last three
are reachable. Par five, you're the better team, and you
hit your ball to exactly where you want to go
to be able to go for it. And two you
hit it on the green and just too putt and
get out of there. You can't par this. You par
both of the next two that would be going to me.

(01:24:19):
That's going one and two or even getting swept in
the next two series. Right, that's golding one and two.
And now you've put yourself in a buying that y'all.
Well got close to winning that tournament, but you lost
a major because you couldn't birdy the par fives. But man,
you did a great job on the par threes. Pardon
got out good. And if you make a birdie, what
a blessing, which would be you're birdy at two hundred
and forty five yard Part three. Guess what you get?

(01:24:41):
You sweep the Mariners and then you can rest a
player or two and not have to worry about getting
your done back. Take care of your business. Hope you
guys do it and then go. Then I don't say
coast your waist, stay intense, go try to get the
second seed, but you should win four out of sixth grade.
But which you can't do is bogie this one and

(01:25:02):
then turn around and at part of the two, par
five's coming down to pike, because then you're in the
chase mode and you're not going into the playoffs the
way you want to, and quite frankly, you'll be sitting
in a wild card mode and then you face two
good pictures at the front and you don't give it
watching football the rest of the year. So I know
that's well, that's kind of cheesy, no, but it's very real.

Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
We've all played a long part three and said, damn,
just let me hit the green and get out of here.
And that's the hard ones, and that's Seattle. The other
two well, young, well good, you said, just a spicy
golf course. But it's a par five, dude, and it's
five fifty. I can get there in two.

Speaker 4 (01:25:37):
Give yourself a chance at the prize, right, and I
mean you get you get that first round off, you
avoid that wildcard round with this pitching and the chance
you could get some guys back that are really crucial
to you. Then you give yourself a chance, and you
can afford one bat. You can afford a loss in
a longer series game, sure you can. You can afford
it because we've seen them. It's okay, But in truth,

(01:25:59):
you can. I really afford won in a three game series.

Speaker 2 (01:26:01):
No, And we saw that last year and they got
two of them in a row, and that was that,
and it happened in the blink of an eye.

Speaker 4 (01:26:06):
And they got uptight in the second game, and you
saw how that went. So I want to avoid that
fate again in twenty twenty five. All right, So let's
get into a little bit of football, because there is
a college football coach out there that said something the
other day that makes me wonder if ulterior motives are
on the mind. We'll discuss right here. It is the
Shawn Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven to ninety.

Speaker 5 (01:26:26):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
DNM Leasing just delivered a truck to a customer who
had listened to dn M for more than twenty five years.
Think about that, and he'd been hearing these commercials forever,
right for decades. He believed Leasing was just renting a
car I put in air quotes something you only did
if you couldn't afford to buy. And who hasn't been there, right, guys.
But DNM Leasing's here to change that. That changed when
the dealership offered him an eighty four month loan. He

(01:26:49):
knew he'd trade the truck in in a few years,
and he knew he'd end up well upside down again
owing more than it was worth. Well. That's when he
remembered the D and M commercials ever seen it Texas
title uh and when you trade in a long finance contract,
the only thing you own is negative equity. Those quotes,
so we called DNM leasing showed him is that leasing

(01:27:10):
isn't about what you can afford. It's simply the smarter
way most people pay for their vehicles. Smarter see what
smarter does for you? And DNM leasing is smart. Leasing
isn't renting. Let me say it again, Leasing isn't renting.
It's smarter. Who doesn't want smarter? Harder doesn't always work.
Smarter does, and especially when it puts money in your

(01:27:30):
pocket and makes it easier for you at the beginning,
the middle, and the end. Dial seven one three, two
nine zero, one thousand seven one three, two nine zero
one thousand, or visit us at DNM. It's DNM leasing,
dmauto leasing dot Com, dmauto leasing dot Com. They continue
to win awards and there's a reason why DNM. It's

(01:27:52):
dmauto leasing dot Com. This is Craig Vigio. You're listening
to Sean Saul on Sports Talk seven ninety Oh. You're
home with the Stros. It was funny too, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:28:07):
On Saturday after the LSU Florida game, we had Brian
Kelly going after a reporter and the reporter's name is
Michael Cobble. He's been doing he's been doing TV in
Baton Rouge for some time. And Kelly mentioned on Monday
that he had already reached out and then he publicly
apologized to him. Well then we got this little ditty
from Dabo Sweeney earlier this week, after Clemson just lost

(01:28:29):
their second game of the season, walked off with a
field goal, and it was a May Day field goal
for Georgia Tech. No timeouts, run the kicker out there,
line it up and then snap it, so kick it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
I was gonna hammer Georgia Tech. I did not like
the way they played it at the end because they
played it too safe, and it was like, you're asking
this guy to swing through what a fifty plus yard?
Fifty five or college kickers you know. I'm like, damn,
give me ten more yard. I mean, why we played
so slow? Put the trust in your quarterback and let's
get the thing done. Because you got a veteran Haynes
King who play a good game. Yeah, I said, come on, man,

(01:29:03):
we did. That's a lot of trust in a dude.
Say oh man, we're good. We're just gonna run in.
And the swing through a fifty plus yard It's like, what,
give me about ten more for a little comfort zone.
They didn't, and I'm like, yeah, okay, work wech you
sure did so then Dabo swing.

Speaker 4 (01:29:17):
He had to walk across the field shake hands. He's
now one and two on the season. So people, most
overrated team right now in the country. The way they've
played well a lot of Texas right now.

Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
The way they're playing offensively, and I hate to say
this because I think they'll pick it up, is not
far behind. With the way we had them as the
number one, they're not playing like it.

Speaker 4 (01:29:32):
Forty and a hook favorite this week against Sam Houston,
which I heard Ross and the crew talking about that yesterday.
But Dabo, and he's obviously hearing some criticism after this
loss and people wondering if the program has fallen off. Well,
if you say that to Dabo, you're gonna get this.

Speaker 10 (01:29:47):
They tired of winning, they can send me on the way,
because that's all we've done is win. So if they
tired of winning, we've had We've won this league eight
out the last ten years.

Speaker 1 (01:29:55):
Is that not good?

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
I'm just asking is that good? I don't know if
that's good or not. And hey, listen, I mean Cumpston's
tired of.

Speaker 10 (01:30:03):
Winning, they send me on my way, but I'm gonna
go somewhere else, and coach, I ain't going to the beach.

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
Hell, I'm fifty five. I got a long way to go.
Y'all gonna have to deal with me for a while.
I had a long way to go.

Speaker 1 (01:30:15):
I'm just getting going.

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
I'm just now good enough to be a head coach.
So how about that?

Speaker 4 (01:30:20):
Dabbo to his fan base, all right, fine, you guys
don't want me around here anymore. You remember Tommy Bowden,
You remember days before I got here, and then we
got here and we started winning, and you know, all
of a sudden, you guys just think this is so
easy that we're gonna be doing this every single year.

Speaker 2 (01:30:35):
Okay, fine, you want me to go somewhere else, I'll
go somewhere else. I love Dabbo, but that's rabbit eared
sensitive dude, now, Oh God, far good good man. I
mean he is, and he's a hell of a football coach.
And he's right. They won the league eight that last
ten years, been in four national championship by playoffs won,
and I mean they've been pretty damn good now. And

(01:30:56):
he's he's built something special. And you know, Danny Ford
at Clemson, I think before dabble was the last time
they won a national championship. I mean, but he has
built consistent, special and dominant. He's had a hard time
embracing nil and starting to come around. He's going to
need to is if that's what it is, then you've
got to and you've got to bide by the rules
of bide by them, but you get to stretch him
now with nil and transfer portal. So with that, there's

(01:31:20):
a couple of messages that I take from this. One
is that he's sensitive because I can't imagine the question
that came was hey man, Clemson, the university, the leadership
at the university is questioning. This is like fans and
the whispers and the you know, you start to hear
the rumblings of what's wrong, Like we're all saying they
were picked to be a player. I had him in
a playoff right now, that team's that team looks nothing

(01:31:42):
like a playoff team. Now you have to win a
third lose the third one. They're done. They're gonna have
a hard time getting back into it from the acc
with two losses. But there's a lot of football to play,
which is a cliche as it gets. So with that
is sensitive. I can't imagine the question took as long
as the answer meaning, hey man, you're not if you
guys aren't very good and the manage the bosses here,

(01:32:03):
I'm the rumblings are that they're not happy with you.
Do you notice I said, well, if they, meaning he
was talking directly to administration. Administration didn't ask the question.
So that sensitivity or that heat he may be feeling,
he right there projected it projected on the media projected.
I'm sure here's the heat. It's a normal question. You're
one and two with somebody a lot of people had

(01:32:24):
you picked to be the national champion. A lot of
people did that. They had you in the final four.
Matter of fact, you look at the odds I think
going in they were at least a top five team
odds wise in Vegas to win a national title and
a hell of a quarterback you know, in club Nick.
So there's one two is what he saidis factual? I mean,
that's it. But there's a team in Alabama with Kaitlin

(01:32:45):
de Boor who has had their struggles and he is
a It's almost like a trime This was a trimey
that even though it didn't come from the Clemson leadership,
slash ad or university, it was almost as like, I'm
going to take this question and I'm going to make
sure you know where I stand on this that if

(01:33:06):
you're questioning me, like the fans are, uh, think twice,
because if Kaylen de bor gets fired, their first call
probably would be if not to Nick Saban, would you
come back? Would probably be dabbo Once you come home?
What do you think we'll buy that out in a second.
That's is alma mater. There was always speculation when Saban
was there that the Dabble was going to leave and

(01:33:27):
be the next head coach when Saban decided it was done. Well,
that took longer than maybe people expected because Nick was
dominating and he built something special at Clemson, and now
why not be the guy who who built something special
at Clemson and you become the the Nick Saban a
Clemson right, build it and you're you're that guy over
the course of legacy history. But if he follows suit,

(01:33:49):
you want to be the guy after the guy Nick Saban,
Kaylen Debor Dabble, Swingey, natural fit and I think it's
one of those oh this is what you want, want
to do. I got my towards Alabama as well. If
they keep struggling, he ain't gonna last. And I'll guarant
ask to you I'll be one of the first to
get the interview. So with that in mind, I don't
know if he wants to, but it felt too sensitive

(01:34:12):
for Dabble, like he kept before. Somebody talks about that,
and he's got it all, there's no doubt, and he's
a great coach, a great last year that there's no doubt.
He's a very sensitive, rabbit eared coach, but a damn
good one. And passionate, and I love that about him.
But he's right about one thing. He will still be
coaching if Clemson moves on from Dablo Sweeney. If this

(01:34:32):
struggle continues, they win seven games this year, eight games,
Alabama will call him. If Kaylyn de Bor goes, or
if they knew that Clemson was gonna fire him and
Alabama won eight games, that that would that would possibly
push them to say, we got an opportunity here, we
got there, you go yeah, And that's and that was
the thing too, is I'm right along with you.

Speaker 4 (01:34:53):
Is that's in a roundabout way because you never outwardly
talk about somebody else's job. But he's like, hey, you know, look,
you guys want to continue to treat me this way.
My alma mater calls me, guess where it's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
That was as subtle as a punch to the face
about without saying Alabama and the Clemson and now if
you're a Clemson a d in that and you may
have a great relationship with them, you're like, well, whoa
wha wait wait a second, don't say them if they
so no nobody said, and even if you are, don't,
don't don't you don't need to come at us like that.
We'll have that meeting behind closed doors that hadn't come

(01:35:25):
from us. If a fan or two or five thousand
of them are pissed off, don't say if they How
about saying, well, if you fans don't like it, here,
here's the numbers, you can have somebody else running. And
I would have said, well, I'm gonna trust the management
that that's good, that that'll be their decision, and I'm
sure they'll make the right one.

Speaker 1 (01:35:42):
And you leave it at that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:44):
But now it's almost like if you're the ad, you're like, dude,
you ain't heard it from us. We have you and
I talk every day. So but it's that, and it's also, hey, Alabama,
don't forget me if something were to happen, because they
have underachieved even in their win they underachieved in three
games this year. They have not played good football one
dominant football one time this year, and they're the most physical,

(01:36:07):
non physical team in the country. Oh, this looks like
back when they had four guy I mean a front
foot it was like first round draft picks and dominant
front set. Going into this year, people said it's closer
to that than it's not now, and so they're physical
by all accounts, but they don't play physical football. So
the most physical, non physical team in the country resides

(01:36:27):
in Clemson, South Carolina right now.

Speaker 4 (01:36:29):
Lose a couple more games, Kaylin de boor find out
what life in Tuscaloosa is really like. Let's get into
the Texans because help could be on the way for
this really rough performing group this year.

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
We will discuss right here Sean Salisbury show. Sort of

Speaker 4 (01:37:52):
I put some of those Buffalo bills in the lineup
today because I was like, yeah, that Miami defense not
so good, so that's what you got.

Speaker 2 (01:37:59):
But the tech.

Speaker 4 (01:38:00):
Speaking of being not so good, not so good on
the offensive line, but might help be on the way.

Speaker 2 (01:38:05):
Jake Andrews practice yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:38:07):
This last week's game with the sprained ankle, I would
say that the line before he went down with the
injury against the Rams actually played pretty decently. I mean,
wasn't great by any stretch, but they weren't just completely
awful and Sean. I mean, I'm speaking to somebody who
would know this firsthand that everybody looks at the left tackle.
Everybody looks at everybody except for probably the most important

(01:38:30):
position on the line that gets everybody set. They've got
to be right in line mentally with the quarterback in
terms of what you're trying to do, and that's the center.
And you get a guy that's been your starting center
coming out of the gates this year and you get
him back in the lineup this week, well then you
probably feel better about that group as a whole.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
Yeah, it's Remember it's also not just the it's the
directing of the protections, right, and how important it is. Well,
if I look at Steve j Chad, I say, define,
tell me what kind of what kind of quarterback he is?
What are his traits, what's what's where do you start?
I'm asking you, Wes Stroud. Yeah, pocket passer first, Okay,
So what do you need to do is pocket a

(01:39:10):
north and south climber as opposed to an east and
west escape guy?

Speaker 1 (01:39:14):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
Like, if I asked you what do you think about
Jayden Daniels right now, you'd say great feet escapes on
the edge, right, But since and we usually describe this
for guys that got good feet, Joe Burrow'll be the
same way, good feet, but by time with sliding into pocket,
doing their thing and use their feet when necessary, not
as a crutch. Fair enough. Sure So if I'm a

(01:39:37):
pocket guy, where do I hate people? In my face?
Right in your face?

Speaker 5 (01:39:41):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:39:42):
The north south stuff? You know, the east and west
guy who's so good at escaping that has that quick
first quick twitch, that the escapability that while they you
know they manipulate and climb, their number one thought process
is what escape to their play side, there's their easy way,
the strong side of them, and to do it on
the edge because they can get there. The tom Brady's,

(01:40:03):
the Mannings, the CJ. Stroud's, the Joe Burrows. What's their
first thought? Slide and climb right, make sure trying to
still manipulate the pocket and at the last second then
I'm going to escape and try to use We've seen
Stroud do it, we saw Burrow do it. We saw
Burrow do it in college. We saw him do it
when things are going good. So there's this ability. So
for me and I was same way for me is

(01:40:24):
keep people off my legs. Clear that out. And not
only that, but what is another thing they've struggled with
Dan is understanding and after we talked about it too
yesterday morning and the day before and what on Monday
or Tuesday is I'm watching yesterday and Orlowski's designing it
and saying they're rushing this many. We got this many? Boy,
what did I tell you? They got more to block

(01:40:45):
than they're bringing and you still can't protect it. So
now the onus on the center, which I would put
more on the quarterback because he can stand up and see.
But sometimes too much on a quarterback is too much.
But I want my quarterback knowing where all the trouble's
coming from. If you're blocking there, you still got to
be aware of the the four week or whatever it is.
But you get help direct and protection for so you

(01:41:06):
can operate in what you want to do. When you're
a pocket team or a guy who doesn't change the
launch point much for ceedey Stroud and they don't, you
have got to have the interior sewed up. What's been
the biggest problem for him an interior that's been muddied,
and he's been a different player. Now when I say different,

(01:41:26):
that mean he's not good. He's gonna He's a hell
of a player. It's not just on him. But I
tell you the offensive line at times this past weekend
or on Monday night, they gave him an opportunity to
deliver the football. They weren't crap. Okay, they played decent
enough that at times CJ just misthrows that he's not
missed in the past. Now there's other times. But the
collateral damage from last year going into this year is

(01:41:48):
part of the reason. But he's got to be stronger
to overcome that. He can't treat last year like this
year and he can't treat last week. The hardest thing
to do is continue to show trust when you're getting
your ass kicked at a certain position. I thought the
line gave him enough time. Put it this way, coming
out of that game. The first blame isn't on the
offensive line. It wasn't. Now, they got to be more physical.
Play calling's got to be better in certain situations. Defense

(01:42:11):
has got to get off the field. You can't penalize.
You got to make sure that Totoe makes a tackle.
You got to make sure you keep him out of
the en zone on the final drive. That's your job,
but the defense is a quicker fix in the offense.
But for Stroud's next level and how that confidence has gained.
Trust in your line is keeping the middle clear so
he can see and then it's now going to come
down to him delivering the ball with the ames small

(01:42:32):
miss small mentality that he's had his rookie year that
he's still trying to find back. He's got to block
out the collateral damage from the past. We ask that
from every player, every hey from ber block out to
block out the bad inning he's got. He has to
easier said than done, to trust the fact that Game

(01:42:52):
seven last year isn't Game three this year, and that's
going to help elevate him. It's going to have to
because this team's only going to go where that guy
gets them. And then because I know the defense will
end up doing their part. You can go a lot
of places with great defense and a hell of a
quarterback and hope that the offensive line keeps that pocket
clean for him, because that's where he's gonna win. From

(01:43:12):
the pocket.

Speaker 5 (01:43:13):
C J.

Speaker 2 (01:43:13):
Stroud's good outside, it's that that can't be his number
one priority.

Speaker 4 (01:43:18):
It just can't be well, and it's all sat in design,
but you can't be well, it's also too I mean,
needing more from this offense to be able to take
some pressure off that defense because of the amount of
three and outs quick drives that you've had, I mean,
and then the amount of plays that you put on
that group. These have been all three, you know, things
that have really hurt this team in the first couple
of year.

Speaker 6 (01:43:36):
Years.

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
Going to have to establish a threat in the run game,
a consistent threat that allows teams to say they're not
afraid to run at six seven times in a row.

Speaker 4 (01:43:45):
Well, I mean, at least until Joe Mixon gets back,
if indeed he ever does get back, And and I
guess we'll have to wait and see if that's the case.

Speaker 2 (01:43:51):
Marx needs to be involved in the passing game, even
as a rookie. He's got a great feel. He had
a great feel at Southern cal He's got a great
feel for it. If that's his strength, get him involved
while he while he continues to evolve into a guy
who understands who to block and protection, you can keep
him in. But it's okay, Kevin Fault. Guys like that
specialized in that their career. He's got as you know

(01:44:12):
from LSU, he's got a chance to be a guy
who can give you some really good stuff on the
perimeter out of the backfield and create mismatch problems as
we saw the one time on a play that they
never went back to with him.

Speaker 4 (01:44:22):
Is there a way that actually he and others could
help this Texans offense out not only this week but
for the rest of the season. We'll discuss that. Adrianc

up a plumber, which I was not a sign plummer.

(01:46:57):
It sounds good though, Yeah, it does, I hear you, brother. Yeah,
I'm no Dusty Rhodes. That's tough throwback sledding right there.
It is.

Speaker 5 (01:47:04):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:47:05):
Yeah, that was when I was in college, and that
was about twenty years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:47:08):
So there you go, Astros when last night five to
sweep that series and the Mariners lose, so that means
you're a half game up on them and the Texans.

Speaker 2 (01:47:16):
Getting back to work and talking to Texans.

Speaker 4 (01:47:19):
The screen game, I mean, is that something that can
be able to kind of help out that offensive line
and get some of those guys going.

Speaker 2 (01:47:24):
You mentioned what he marks. Why wouldn't it be you
know what I'm saying. Why wouldn't you well, why wouldn't
the screen game become Look at the best teams in
the league who do it. Andy Reid has always even
before I got to Kansas City, go back and look
when he was in Philly, they were one of the
best slow screen teams. Back when it was back Hits, Westbrook, Yep,
back Hits Holds Bam guys, one thousand and one, one

(01:47:47):
thousand and two, get your guard and tackling center out
on the edge and kick out and go.

Speaker 5 (01:47:51):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:47:51):
We do a lot of now screens, get the ball
out now, bubble screens, smoke screens, get out either way,
playing sideways. Sometimes you get the right guys with the
ball in space. They got a chance, and it does
nothing but take help. It does nothing and I'm not
talking about a screen I'm third and twenty seven, which
we see enough. If you have pre snap penalties that
we've been about to throw up in your mouth. With

(01:48:11):
the pre snap penalties over the last three years that
this team's had, they got to eliminate those. But there
ain't nothing wrong with the first down. With a first
down screen call, give me seven. Like I said, anytime
I can get six or more and I'm sitting in position.
If I'm a play caller and it's second and four
or less regularly in a game, after my first down success,

(01:48:32):
you ain't beat me. As long as I got a
halfway decent game from my quarterback and the rest of
my roster, you're not gonna beat us. Now you're living
in third and six plus. It's a hard place to play, man.

Speaker 1 (01:48:45):
It just is.

Speaker 2 (01:48:45):
It doesn't sound like much, but it's hard because defenses
know how to bait you into putting you in situations
where even if you get it out and gain three,
you're still punting. So the screen game can be such
a tool and weapon. Now, if that's where you live
in and you're playing against a team you're afraid to
take shots, Saints are going through that right now. You
know they got to pushing the ball down the field
doing At the end of Drew Brees' career as accurate,

(01:49:07):
he wasn't played because they just weren't capable of pushing
the ball down the field. This team is when it
comes to just and it wasn't on breeze. It's just
that you know, Drew's arm wasn't the same, the weapons
had changed. At the end, he'd still complete seventy five percent.
The problem was it for one hundred and seventy five
yards and the explosives weren't there like they were early
and when the field, I mean when New Orleans win
the Super Bowls, you saw how good the screen game

(01:49:27):
is with the Philadelphia Eagles helped. It just allows your
guys to impose their will, which is semi run game,
especially if they get on the edge. But also if
you're a good screen team, you alleviate some of the
puts your ears back, pin it back and dominates you
at the line of scrimmage. It just gives you some
some latitude to you know, four four to six times

(01:49:49):
a game, even if you don't complete them. It helps.
But if you're going to live there the problem is
then they squeeze you and you can screen them to death.
If they make a tackle, you're still punting. So it's
a fine line between aggressive, smart, aggressive, but not taking
simple plays out of your offense. And they need to
be better at it, and they with Marx, you've got

(01:50:10):
a guy who's capable of getting you in space and
good teams all due think about teams when Marshall Falk
was at the Ram, Kevin Falk with the Patriots, when
you're talking about Alvin Kamara with the Saints, Taga Barkley
with Philadelphia. There's a mix of getting great production from
the running back position. But it doesn't have to be
just running the hand in it off. There can be

(01:50:31):
other ways to do it. I think we underutilize back
options and back choices and back screens and the slow screen.
We don't run that anymore. We just don't. We we've
lost that site, which is I think a mistake. I
think you don't live there, but you've got to mix
it in, and I think we've lost sight of that
fact on the implementation of those guys and how successful

(01:50:52):
your team can be. Plus, it gives your back to
get it in space and see hits where he's not
getting hammered at the line of scrimmage where he gets
to Seymour. So it's six extra touches without the punishment
that usually goes with it. So I just think a
good screen team, as long as you're also vertically aggressive,
gives you a chance.

Speaker 4 (01:51:09):
Big plays are nice, but it just would be nice
to be able to sustain drives, and I think that's
the way that Texans can be able to do that.
We'll talk Texans and focus on the astros too with
our good buddy Chris Gordy and Studio Thus does it
every single Tuesday and Thursday courtesy at car Bock Brewing.

Speaker 2 (01:51:24):
Let's do it right here. Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 9 (01:51:27):
KBMB Houston, KTV HD two Houston, an iHeart radio station.

Speaker 2 (01:51:32):
Yes as a Rocket Sports Talk seven ninety your home
for your home teams from the Parsons that match it. Next, Studios.

Speaker 1 (01:51:47):
Salisbury, Oh Salsbury, Houston. Okay, let's do this.

Speaker 11 (01:51:54):
Sean Salisbury, Salisbury, so USC true longtime friend, Sean Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (01:52:00):
Dan Matthew, excuse, this is the Sean Sells Very show.
You know he's a busy man today. Sean one.

Speaker 1 (01:52:11):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
One. So what happens when you're a star. Dude, you're
a star. You know you you're the brass. You got
to make some decisions. Are in first place?

Speaker 5 (01:52:21):
Bout?

Speaker 2 (01:52:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:52:22):
There you go half game up on the Mariners because
Kansas City helps you out, and you beat the Rangers
last night to sweep them out of town. When the
Silver Boot keep it here over at Union Station and
beat them five to two.

Speaker 12 (01:52:33):
But you know what, I hope, I hope Seattle beats
the Royals today. Go ahead, Mariners, beat them. I want
you tied when you come in tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:52:39):
So you want to let dangerous.

Speaker 12 (01:52:40):
I wanted to live dangerously win or take all Monomano
three game series.

Speaker 2 (01:52:46):
I'm with him.

Speaker 6 (01:52:48):
Him.

Speaker 2 (01:52:50):
I almost got data Brown and say, yeah, Sean, I
like this more than I like but I want the stress,
the relief of not having of having a fifteen game lead.
If you're scared, you love all for the Royals. Damn,
it's making a great Dane while you're at it. Okay,
let's see what you got. But it'm all in.

Speaker 4 (01:53:06):
Is this three games reason to believe that maybe they've
found something that you know, as Dana Brown mentioned with
us yesterday, they can get hot going into the postseason.

Speaker 12 (01:53:14):
It's all about the offense. If the bats show up,
they can win it all Fellas. I mean, it's it's
nothing crazy here, there's no science to it. It's it's
your sluggers, it's the l two ves. The pain is
when those guys show up and do what they're supposed
to do. Janre Diez, this team can beat anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:53:31):
And they win. It is nineteen runs in the last
three games, correct, and then we came deducted and came
up with and that is that. That's evidence, that's a fact.
And you give them nineteen runs or your average in
six six runs a game, they're gonna win a lot
and they can roll through this thing. Now that's a
lot to ask, But for a team that hasn't been
hot an extended amount of time at the plate, what

(01:53:52):
a great time to actually be hot now and continue it.
And I'm wishing is good enough, that's no question. It's
not Verlander, Garrett, but it's good enough. Agreed, Agreed, there's
a there's a there's a whole bunch of teams in
this league that would love to have the pitching that
we have here, would love it. I'd love to have
injured you, damn right, they would, so would we, so

(01:54:12):
would we. But if they can get production, Hell, when
I when I say to here, I say, oh, I
know I'm going to get production from the bottom of
the lineup. Yeah, and you're craving that production at the top.
And you know what, every single player has to take
the responsibility and accountability to know that your best hitter
is not playing again right now, So what are you
going to do? And for the most part this season
one hundred games missed or so, they were able to

(01:54:35):
stay in first place for the majority of it. So
you know what, it ain't This isn't foreign to them.
They've been through plenty of injuries. If anything, if this
was just happening now where five injuries came upon them,
we could be concerned. To me, Gordy, this they're at
a point now where this is okay, we'll just deal
with it again. But if the Bats score four, four
and a half five runs a game, this team's going

(01:54:56):
to be hell to pay with the way they're pitching.

Speaker 12 (01:54:57):
And I'll tell you what, if you're going to a game,
any of the games this weekend, you better bring it.
I mean, treat this like this is a play you
you worried about the assers making the playoffs, this is
the playoffs. Bring it this weekend.

Speaker 5 (01:55:10):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (01:55:10):
If you want to stay in the whole game, you
know what stand in the whole game. I'm fine with
that a division.

Speaker 2 (01:55:14):
You better bring it.

Speaker 12 (01:55:15):
Don't be the idiot that sits there in your seat
and the person in front of you stare excuse me?

Speaker 2 (01:55:19):
Can you sit down? I can't see? Well, then stand
your ass up too. Let's go. This is the playoffs, agreed,
It's the Mariners and the Astros. Give me a ryder
cup action for the right. Let's go.

Speaker 4 (01:55:28):
Bring your old towels too, you know, bring bring the
old rally towels, get those swinging around, get the playoff
atmosphere in there.

Speaker 2 (01:55:34):
Whatever it takes, right, do you okay? If I give you?
If I say I'm spotting your four and a half
runs a game, Gordy, from now through the World Series,
are they in the World Series? Like, if they score
four four and a half runs, yep, the rest of
the way, are they in the World Series? It's tough
to say. I mean, they have a pretty damn good
chance and they get the same pitching they've been getting better.

Speaker 12 (01:55:57):
You get the Yankees or Red Sox in the ALCS,
I could see, uh, you know, eight to seven type games.

Speaker 2 (01:56:03):
So you know, I don't know four gets it done
every night. I'd say they average four and a half.
But she thinks I think that's a good legit, right,
because what's happened.

Speaker 12 (01:56:11):
I mean, look at all the times when they failed
in the last all season it's one nothing loss, three
to two loss, six nothing loss. I mean it's like
it's when the offense doesn't show up, they lose. That's
the bottom line.

Speaker 2 (01:56:22):
And showing up is that three, four or five runs
a game for them.

Speaker 4 (01:56:25):
Well, and then even more reason to dream is as
I mentioned with Sean earlier, they're a game and a
half back of Detroit for the second spot in the AL.
So you're talking about really needing these games this weekend
and giving yourself a chance to host playoff games. Now
you get a chance where what if you even were
able to get in as the division winner and skip

(01:56:46):
that wildcard round.

Speaker 12 (01:56:47):
I mean that would be that would be great. I
don't know if that's gonna happen, though, I mean it
would take You've seen Detroit schedule this next week.

Speaker 2 (01:56:55):
I get it.

Speaker 12 (01:56:56):
But they've they've been too good all year to let
that thing slip away in last week.

Speaker 2 (01:57:01):
Just my opinion.

Speaker 13 (01:57:02):
I mean, you got the games a lot. This thing
was like a two. I'd go, hell, yeah, let's do it.
But no, they're they're a game and a half out.
They're four and a half back of Toronto. They're not
catching Toronto. You talking about catching Detroit? Yeah, yeah, maybe,
I just they've lost.

Speaker 2 (01:57:17):
Two in a row.

Speaker 4 (01:57:18):
You think they're gonna lose As I mentioned there seven,
they're supposed to have Scooble today, But.

Speaker 2 (01:57:23):
We're begging for the one time. Weren't they one in
ten at one point in eleven games or one and
eleven and twelve games a year. That's was their one
big losing streak Detroit this year. But with that pitching staff,
that won't you know, with with Scooble and Flaherty and
that it won't happen very often, but it'd be a
good time for it to happen. That'd be nice, I'll
tell you, it would be great. Getting into the final
week with their schedule at the end of yours. Then

(01:57:43):
that would actually add more pressure to the Astros to
say we're not gonna slack when we're playing Oakland and
we're playing Anaheim games, we're supposed to win and you
go win. Hopefully they do. East OK pretee think we
see them.

Speaker 12 (01:57:56):
Uh they've they've everything they've said seems like yes, he's
going to return to this lineup. So he said the
right decision. It's unbelievab My worried like crazy about that hamstring. Sure,
I would just you know, all I would do is
I would DH him.

Speaker 2 (01:58:09):
And that's what Dana Brown said they're gonna do yesterday.
He said we'll DH him and they have to.

Speaker 12 (01:58:14):
And honestly, after two plate appearances, so he works a
walk in the second one, I might even start thinking
pitch runner, like just get him out of the game.

Speaker 2 (01:58:26):
Yeah, And that's why they would d h him anyway.
I mean, third base is pretty sewn up right now.
But that's aside from that. That's why you DH him anyway,
so he doesn't have to make those you know, moves
on balls, hitt in the hole, whether it's to his
you know, his glove side or to his backside. And
hopefully he's strong enough and it's and you know, I'm
I always wonder in hamstrings like if you've tested quick twitch,

(01:58:50):
step out of the batter's box, a ball hit to
the gap, and you know, we like try to simulate
taking a second, taking an extra base when you're coming
out of this hamstring because remember a month ago they
talked about or less that. Oh, surgery and we'll see
you next spring. No surgery, ice treatment ready to go.
Let's hope when that intensity of the first move out

(01:59:10):
of the batter's box when he comes in that that
it'll be strong. If it is, and he gets by
a few of those, and can rest assured you probably
have him for the rest of the year. Gordon, let
me switch to the Texans real quick. Do you think
they're closer to what we've seen or closer to what
we thought going into the season. I mean closer to
what we've seen.

Speaker 1 (01:59:28):
What you are?

Speaker 8 (01:59:29):
You know?

Speaker 12 (01:59:29):
Who was the old quote you are what your record
says you are, right, That's that's what you are so far?
That said you haven't played a divisional game. This you
know yet You're going to Houston East on a Sunday.
You own Jacksonville in their house, right, I want to
say they've won seven in a row against Jacksonville there
or something like that. So it's like you own that place,

(01:59:50):
so full expectations. They're going to go in and win.
The SERI stra will look a little bit more like CJ.

Speaker 2 (01:59:56):
Stroud.

Speaker 12 (01:59:56):
But it's funny, you know. I was debating with a
friend last He was like, sell me on y CJ.
Strode's elite, and I'm like, skill set, Like, I mean,
you're talking about intangibles as opposed to tests.

Speaker 2 (02:00:11):
What are we seeing as of late? If you would
have if he would ask that question twelve games into
his rookie year, you would add an answer right now.
The answer he's good and if we're not performing, he's not.
He's not, he's not. He played better as a rookie
than he has the last year in two games. But
that skill set gives you the belief that this guy's
better than this and there's a collateral damage that leads

(02:00:31):
to But we ask all our quarterbacks to elevate around
them and that is his job and he's going to
have to do it. You're ranking quarterbacks right now, where
would you put Stroud the way he's played right now,
middle of the pack, and you say, hands down, he
is better than Baker Mayfield right now? Oh, he's not No, no, no,
Baker Mayfield's a better player.

Speaker 12 (02:00:48):
Better than Matt Stafford right now. No, I mean you're
talking about middle He's not better in Jordan Love right now.

Speaker 2 (02:00:53):
He's not better than obviously the the the the Alan Mahomes,
Jacks La Jackson. So not now we can we can
take a step back and say, okay, but but the
truth matters. You're just talking about performance related No, none
of those guys. You're taking him over, and and uh,
matter of fact, quite frankly, that there's going to have
to be an extended play for him to say, okay,

(02:01:15):
this is back to who we thought it was going
to be.

Speaker 12 (02:01:17):
He's almost in Like somebody said that I'd put him
in the Trevor Lawrence category right now, good player.

Speaker 2 (02:01:23):
Just you got to show me something, you know, Well,
he showed me why you're special, better than he's having
some of the woes that Trevor Lawrence has had. I
mean the truth is now Lawrence has been doing it longer,
so I would say that's fair somewhere right now. The
way he's playing is the middle of the pack guy now,
And we said, well what about his line? But I
can say about a lot of teams. I get it.

(02:01:44):
I get that the line or there, you know, the
running game is not as good. All that comes together.
The bottom line is that we're just judging the performance
and right now and it just doesn't look He's not
the same. He's a little more frenetic in the pocket.
Things got to change, right, a little more frantic and
a little more anxiou And that has to do with
that collateral damage. But for him to elevate and for
us to say, elite, elite quarterbacks overcome that somehow the

(02:02:07):
numbers may not look the same, but the way he
handles it will look like, Okay, it's not. They're just
not as good with injuries, but they're gonna be better.
And part of that's because the quarterbacks elevating him. He
knows this, and I don't think he'd put himself with
the way he's performed in the top ten in the
last year. In two games, he hasn't, regardless of the
reasons why he hasn't. He's a middle of the road quarterback,

(02:02:28):
which we thought was a sure top ten guy going
into the league, I mean after his rookie year, and
it's taking a step back, and it's his job to
fix it and he can. We watched the guy in
Tampa fix it and he's without Qui Baker mayfl the
last year and a half is playing like a top
five quarterback, top three quarterback in this league. Honestly, guy,
he's played better at Mahomes last year and a half
and got to souper, but he's played better. So Gordion,

(02:02:48):
I'm with you. I just I mean, if you had
to rebet it, this division is going to be closer
than I thought at the beginning of the year. Golrdy
you two.

Speaker 12 (02:02:57):
Yeah, probably again. You know that we could get into
conference play here or division play and the Texans could
do what they always do, beat up on the crappy
divisional opponents, right.

Speaker 2 (02:03:07):
Get in. Now, let's just get to the next level.
The expectations aren't just to make the playoffs or they're
deeper expectations.

Speaker 4 (02:03:12):
Scary thought too about Trevor Lawrence, because I mean that
is the case. I mean what got to not the
AFC but the divisional round and then people thought, all right,
that's the beginning, and he's kind of had a backslide
ever since.

Speaker 2 (02:03:23):
So yeah, lash is.

Speaker 4 (02:03:24):
A brilliance, but it hasn't exploded for like, man, we'll
look at the ten game run. He's overthrowing, receivers, doing
all of that. I mean, you know, just not having
that connection any of those things, that's definitely a scary thought.
All Right, you already made your pitch to the fans
for this weekend at dyke In Park. But may we
entice them, Gordy with good drink treats. Drink treats when

(02:03:44):
they get there to the ballpark. Yeah, I mean, I
talked about it yesterday.

Speaker 12 (02:03:48):
I had a friend who was at the game the
other night and as they were, you know, hitting some dingers,
jose Al Twov hits a home run. My buddy sends
to me a picture he's holding a Crawford Bocking And look,
I'm not saying it's if you're drinking the Crawford Bok
that the Astros are gonna hit home runs of win games.
But I'm not saying it's not gonna happen because they
just go together. You drink the Crawford block from Carbock
Brewing while you're watching the Astros, good things happen.

Speaker 2 (02:04:10):
Astros get to sweep over the Rangers.

Speaker 12 (02:04:12):
So if you're heading to the ballpark this weekend, Come loud,
be proud, represent your Astros and get yourself at Crawford
back from Carbock Brewing.

Speaker 2 (02:04:19):
Just goes perfect with Astros baseball.

Speaker 4 (02:04:21):
You heard the man, he's Chris Gordy Curtesy of those
fine folks over at Carbock Brewing. He joins us every
single Tuesday Thursday. We'll get you two on Tuesday, we'll
get you back in. So looking forward to that next week.
All right, we can continue the Texans conversation here and
also know some of you want to get in on
the Astros too, and your good buddy Chuck Ettle from

(02:04:42):
Chuck wins dot com gonna join us at nine thirty
two good weeks.

Speaker 2 (02:04:46):

be right? A couple You're gonna miss up ball, that's
all it is. You're going for it. I mean, if
you're smart play here, well you know, smart play doesn't win.
You and I are ham and egging and I you know,

(02:08:14):
I hit the first t shot and we got I mean,
we're sitting right there, dead to rights at a part
five and you lay up on our alternate shot and
I'm like, what are you doing? Knock it close? And
then I throw the hammer down. That's the way it
goes right in our and our alternate shot. Yeah, all right,
hammer back, And so you're gonna do well, it's if
we're playing alternate shot. I hit first, you hit second.
That I got to make. I ain't missing an eagle put.

(02:08:36):
If you're going to hit it within twelve, well then
I'll throw the hammer down for you. Thank you.

Speaker 4 (02:08:39):
There you go, and the Mariners loose to Royals. Another
half game back of the Strows. I know some of
you want to get in on both the Astros and
the Texans. Let's start first, uh, Larry and Stafford? Good morning, Larry,
what's going on?

Speaker 2 (02:08:52):
Dance?

Speaker 5 (02:08:53):
Hey, Sean, let me ask you a question that the
road that c they tried to make the kneek on
that double move at the back of the end zone.
Do you think that was a good play call.

Speaker 2 (02:09:04):
I never want to double move back it's two or
now I could go quick, you know, a little sluggle
if I'm ranged too close. Do they get back the
back end line to help you? No, I didn't.

Speaker 5 (02:09:14):
You. You have two points of connections that are gonna
be used against you in terms of an extra defender
on both out.

Speaker 2 (02:09:20):
Of bounds areas no more the bask.

Speaker 5 (02:09:22):
Of the end zone. And on the on the side
that bigg as Nico is there's no way that any
one on one guard or d be can guard him
on a quick slant on the one yard line. It's
almost impossible because it's a basketball move. He's gonna block
somebody out. And so this is why I'm starting and
I told guys that I'm starting to be out on Kayley.

(02:09:44):
And I know it's only been two games, but we
have seen a pattern of these kind of offensive coordinators
from George Gatzi to Tim Kelly to Bobby Slow to
all these guys that are analytical thinkers that think that
they have recreated the way that football is to be played.
All you have to do is what Buddy Ryan and

(02:10:04):
all these guys used to think. I'm aligning mind up
against yours, and yours better be able to stop mind.
That's the only concept that you have to have in football.
What the Texans have to understand is this. There's no excuses,
and I'm not buying this excuse about the offensive line
not doing their job because offensive linemen and offensive play

(02:10:25):
calls and things like this, they're gonna be moments in
games where it doesn't flow at it. Thank you, they
played well enough to win. I saw erth three not
getting He may have gotten beat once, but he's a rookie.
I saw Thomason get beat once. So what it happens,
because that's what football is. But when you make plays

(02:10:46):
and you have play calls that are basic and instrumentally basic,
fundamentally that it's not a high powered enough you're going
to lose those kind of games, even with an elite quarterback.
That's all I wanted to say, because I'm still in
on my Texas. I got him going fifteen and two now,
so we're just gonna keep moving forward and try to
get this win. Last thing. I'll let you go with Bulldog.

(02:11:08):
I wouldn't pitch Ramber in this game, this series against
the Mariners. I don't trust him. I'd make his ass
sit over there and watch, because if he's not manyly
stable enough to go out there and give us seven
innings of Framber that's on his mads or whatever he's
table buff doing, I don't want to see.

Speaker 1 (02:11:24):
Him in all holler.

Speaker 2 (02:11:25):
Appreciate Larry, I at least want to give him a chance.
When you're when you got in back to the football thing,
when you got he's right, I mean, Fromer's gonna get
a roll. But I understand his disdain for it because
it almost is to send a message, dude, you toughen up.
We know you, we know your stuff's good. Toughen up.
He's right? What about the football thing? Real quick?

Speaker 5 (02:11:43):
Is I.

Speaker 2 (02:11:44):
When you're calling plays, sometimes we get cutees good once
in a while. Sometimes you get too cute. When you
got a guy who's a monster physically physically, I just
want to put if my guy can't beat your guy
one on one, then we're not very good anyway. And
when I got a guy that physical, good things happen
when you're down there on a slant, the guy comes
through you to get a pick, you know, the pass

(02:12:07):
interference call, and your body him with it. I think
you get too cute trying to do a little too much,
especially when the back of the end zone squeezes you
when you're inside the ten yard line. It is a
it's thirteen, it's twelve, verse eleven. It just is because
they know watching college now and in high school, and
they're doing it in the pros as well. When you're
down there and tied to the ten yard and they're

(02:12:27):
lining up four across the board, they're playing you a
lot of times four across the board and daring you
to go over the top of that. We're saying you
can catch anything you want in front of us. You're
not you, and we're at the goal line. So you're
going to try to throw a goal route from from
the ten. If you're gonna get the fade up, then
you're gonna I'm playing catch. I'm catching you off five
yards off. Now I get there. If Nico Collins can't

(02:12:50):
beat his guy on a slant route or on a
one on one round, then Nico's not very good and
we know that's not the case, so sometimes get too cute.
It just sometimes comes back to simple block, catch, block,
catch and tackle. And if you'll do those three things
you got to you got a real good chance to
win well. And I know it's simple, but the teams
that do that those things every week were gonna win

(02:13:13):
more than Oh, he made a spectacular play three weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (02:13:15):

Good to have you on.

Speaker 1 (02:15:23):
Hey, buddy, appreciate appreciate that.

Speaker 11 (02:15:25):
Yeah, I thought we were going to get the outright win,
but we'll take the money obviously. And again, you know
I've got a play going tonight, a free winner here
tonight and the entire weekend of plays. Just called the
one eight hundred eight zero eight three four eight one,
or go to Chuck wins dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:15:43):
You know why I love this to Chuck when we
get you out on Thursdays because we get to dip
into that Thursday thought process and then you know, if
we're talking college or NFL, it's just it makes for
four days of making some money and an opportunity to
get expertise and insight. Okay, so let's start with the
weekend first. What are you staring at this weekend that
jumps out at you and says that's a must play

(02:16:05):
for me?

Speaker 11 (02:16:07):
Yeah, you know, I'm gonna I'm looking at a total
here this week between the Packers and the Browns. I
just wanted to again, know, to say, you know, we
do have a big play going on here tonight, a
free play. So and your listeners just need to call
one eight hundred eight zero eight three four eight one.

Speaker 1 (02:16:24):
Or just go to Chuck Wins dot com.

Speaker 11 (02:16:26):
But this is an interesting game here this week and
between the Packers and the Cleveland Browns. You know, these
are two of the best defenses in all the NFL.
Cleveland's first against the run, only giving up two point
one yards per play. Green Bay is second, giving up
two point four yards per play. Green Bay is first
in the NFL against the past, Cleveland is twelve. And

(02:16:48):
you know, if you take a close look at this
Cleveland offense, they're pretty much on the bottom of most
of the stats their offense, and you can't blame Placo.
They just don't even have a lot of weapons, so
there's not a not a lot to hang your head
on their offense. But what really jumps out at me
is the green Bay defensive stats. You know, they played

(02:17:08):
two strong offensive teams. They held the Detroit Lions to
thirteen points, and if you watch that game, the Lions
got a meaning his touchdown on the end of the game.
They basically helped They tried Lions team to six points
most of the game, they rebounded and score fifty two out.
You know, the next week against the Bears and Detroit
help them. Now, they also held down a good Washington offense.

(02:17:30):
And this is a green Bay team who's defense got better.
Obviously they got Parsons, so you got the best defense
with green Bay going up against a bad Cleveland offense
and Cleveland's defense playing well. You know, if you look
at the forty one points they gave up to Baltimore
last week, you got it did deeper in and they
only gave up two hundred and forty two yards in

(02:17:51):
that game. But what happened was a lot of turnovers,
including a fumble recovery for a touchdown, and so they're
you know, the their other game they played against Joe
Burrow and the Cincinnati and A help them to seventeen points,
and they have that defense down. So you also look
at the injuries of the game. Here, Jayden Reed, the
wide receiver for green Bay, he's out there backup Melton,

(02:18:13):
he's questionable. So I do like this game to go
under the total.

Speaker 2 (02:18:16):
Hey, you know what, before we get to your next
talking point, Chuck, I love Chuck Attel from Chuck wins
dot com eight one hundred, eight hundred and eight zero
eight three four eight one or Chuck wins dot com. Chuck,
I love this one, and I'm all over this and
you just validated it for me because even if green
Bay hangs thirty five on them, if they're fortunate enough

(02:18:37):
to do that, I'm not sure Cleveland can score ten.
I mean the way they're the way that the Packers
defense is playing, as you mentioned, and a non mobile
flacle with that interior pass rush and the edge rushing
with Parsons, and I'm not sure they can get the
double digits. So even if green Bay erupts and Cleveland
turns it over three times offensively, I still think the

(02:18:58):
Unders viable. They could pitch shutout against Cleveland if they're
on agreed without the mobility of a quarterback, even though
it's not on Flacco.

Speaker 1 (02:19:06):
I absolutely agree with you there.

Speaker 11 (02:19:07):
And you know, and I would be surprised that green
Bay even put up that many points are Cleveland defense
is really good. I mean, Herrett might be the best
defensive player in all of the NFL. And and you know,
at top of you when you look at the Cleveland stats,
their offense doesn't stay in the field long. This is
a Cleveland defense. It's on the field longer than most
defenses are in They're still putting up the stands.

Speaker 2 (02:19:29):
Yeah, Cleveland's good defense is the only thing that's keeping
it in Flaccos a pro, but their defense will win
a few games for him this year. They're going to
have their tough time offensively and defensively against a good
Packers team which is bordering on great, one of the
best in the NFC. This game tonight, I know it
intrigues you, Chuck, Why, Yeah, there.

Speaker 11 (02:19:48):
We're looking at something really really special in this game.
We feel like we have an angle on it. We
are going to give it out free to all your
listeners at one eight hundred eight zero eight three four
eight one eight hundred eight zero eight three four eight one.

Speaker 1 (02:20:02):
And or you can go to Chuck wins dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:20:06):
And you so you got there real quick again, you
got it. You feel guys strongly about this with you
got to play on it. That feels like this is uh,
this is as good as it's gonna get on the
board for you guys. So they can get it at
chuckwins dot com eight hundred eight zero eight three four
eight one. And uh, you got strong, strong feelings with
your guys about this one tonight.

Speaker 1 (02:20:25):
Yeah, we feel like we have a really good angle
on this.

Speaker 11 (02:20:28):
This is something that when this angle pops up over
the years has been very successful as profitable for us.

Speaker 2 (02:20:34):
Deep dive by Chuck they always do. He's had a
great start to the season. No reason why it's not
going to continue this week. We look forward to it again.
It's eight hundred eight zero eight three four eight one.

It is Sports Talk seven ninety. This is the Sean
Salisbury Show.

Speaker 5 (02:21:13):
Sales.

Speaker 1 (02:21:15):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (02:21:17):
Honestly, you know, like all of you know throwback jerseys
or like created jerseys that you can have. I mean,
there's got to be a U of H fan out
there that needs to create a steam and Williebeaman jersey,
and you know what, I'll be that guy.

Speaker 2 (02:21:30):
Well, I'll just call up Mitchell and ness. Right, aren't
they the classics?

Speaker 6 (02:21:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:21:34):
We don't want to find it.

Speaker 4 (02:21:34):
Like when I see people at Astros games that have
like the Tequila Sunrise and they have like Altuve on
the back or like you're like, I want to know
like who makes those?

Speaker 2 (02:21:43):
Because well, you know what, go get yourself a silk screener.
Yeah and start doing it yourself. I mean I guess
I could cree create yourself some apparel. But why do that?
If I'm willing to pay, well, why not have somebody
pay you?

Speaker 4 (02:21:55):
I guess yeah, you know it's business way to be
able to make it into a business.

Speaker 2 (02:22:00):
Would have to pay for your own. You make your own,
and then everybody pays you because they like it.

Speaker 4 (02:22:03):
Like I saw somebody the other day had the Gray
Road gold Star Astros jersey that had the Houston across
and then the longer gold Star, and I was like, man,
that jersey's fire. Like if I if I could find
that and like throw like Alvarez or something on the back,
I would absolutely do that.

Speaker 2 (02:22:19):
Turn your love for it into a business, That's true, Sean.
I never really thought about it though. If you want
and then everybody else will come in before you know it.
There're it's called mailbox. Now you're doing it. But you
have a love for it'specially not that work. It's kind
of cool you're.

Speaker 4 (02:22:32):
Saying, the order comes in, just you know, get to
the press and throw it down, throw the box and
throw it to.

Speaker 2 (02:22:38):
You and say, hey, your joy. You're going through that
with baseball. I'm going through that with golf and leisure.
There maybe you're on the something I definitely, am Ones.
I don't know about if you're gonna put and you're
gonna make a commitment to yours, but I've already made
a commitment to mine. I like it.

Speaker 4 (02:22:51):
I like it a commitment to excellence. That's you, that
entrepreneurial spirit of Sean Salisbury. But the Strows do win
last night five to two, sweep the Rain out of town,
and now they got a half game lead on the Mariners.
And that's something that you know we were talking about
with Gordy, is that you guys are saying win today, Mariners.

Speaker 2 (02:23:11):
Let's go. Yeah, let's go. Then again, well, forget two
and a half game leads. I like three game leads.
So you win today.

Speaker 4 (02:23:19):
It's no matter what it would be even no matter
who who wins the series coming out of it, because
you're both with the game today. If they lose and
they're a full game behind you, if they win, then
you're knotted up even.

Speaker 2 (02:23:31):
But if they win, now you But if the Mariners win,
now it's even, and now you're now you go three games.
Let's go get a three game lead, go sweep this
damn thing, and then put it to bed in the
next six games.

Speaker 4 (02:23:42):
And you feel like they're doing it home for the
way that they had played up until this last series.

Speaker 2 (02:23:47):
Agreed that.

Speaker 4 (02:23:48):
I mean, it's just because that was the thing is,
you know, the first game wasn't really ever in doubt,
and then the second game where they score those runs
in the eighth thing, and you're just like, oh damn it,
don't do this. And you kind of got a hint
of that last night with Okert with a couple of
those walks like where you're like, we're gonna do this again. Yeah,
and you don't have Brian a braid tonight. So then
Brian King, I mean talking about the unsung hero guys.

Speaker 2 (02:24:10):
Yeah, that guy Peo. We mentioned him in it yesterday.
He's just been phenomenal. Man, think about this too. Here's
the thing is those things, the little things that you
may be able to get away with a base running
air or one missed pitch that you can get away
with on teams that you're far better than that. That
ends in this three game series over the weekend. I'll
tell you, don't miss it a few of the pitches

(02:24:32):
and make sure you're getting people out and turning double plays.
And because the the the margin for air is a
lot smaller with the team's coming to town.

Speaker 4 (02:24:39):
You know, there's a couple of things too that make
me confident. That happened in three different instances. Last night,
Al two ve hits the home run. His final at
bat laces one of the left, goes right at the
left field er. It's caught, but the other is a
two fur And it happened in back to back plays.
The ball down the right field line that Al two
ve just basket catches and he just did it like
it was just kind of like, eh, whatever. And then

(02:25:00):
how about Jeremy Pania does his infoul territory with the
left fielder and then Korea going at him, he catches
it and his momentum carries him to the stands WAPs
up one of the fans.

Speaker 2 (02:25:10):
Right now, I was like, I'm feeling it, man, It's
like that. It's like the John Singleton bat's to flip.
Remember how it's almost like he didn't even finish his
swing and the bat was being flipped right, you know,
was really good at this was a pain you catch
and just automatic rolled right into the doubt. Yeah, there
you go that maybe the swagger's coming back, I'm hoping,
which I think is see if when they're playing at

(02:25:31):
their very best and they're feeling it, only them in
the Philadelphia Phillies, in my mind carry this. There's a
different swagger about them, a swagger that they know they're
gonna win, not that they hope. And that's when Phillies
and the Phillies are as good as anybody.

Speaker 9 (02:25:45):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (02:25:45):
Now he's telling you they're nasty and they can pitch,
and they asked. So maybe that we got this, no problem,
We're gonna make it look easy. Maybe it's here. Let's
have a great one.

Speaker 4 (02:25:54):
No better time than to find out tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow,
my guys out, so Chris Gordy can be in with me.
