Astros vs. Phillies Series Preview, Rockets Buzz Heating Up, John Kincade Joins 790!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Oh you did. Okay, let's do this.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Sewan Salisbury USC Troupes longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Dan Matthew
excuse this is the Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
No highlight montage because there's no Astros game last night.
Now we're in mid late June July right there. For
football season, some nights you just have an off night,
and that's what the Astros and most of the sports
world did last night. But you got to Myselfie and
Matthews A got Sean Salisbury triple Emmanuel Elmore hanging out
with you this morning as the Astros get ready for

(00:45):
three against the Phillies as part of a tough six
game homestand yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
What was their record before this when we had thirteen?
Have we hit the thirteen game mark? We hit it?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yes, there I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get it,
get our receipts. What we thought they'd do on that
on the thirteen straight games? Would we get nine and four? Okay?
I had him at eight and five and they exceeded mine.
And you had them. You said if they went one
game over five hundred, so good. They exceeded years by two,
exceeded mine. By one and they go nine and then truth,

(01:16):
looking at the competition, that that's fair, that's about the
way it should be. Who they played most of the time,
they should have won most of these series, and they did,
and bring it back them. Now you've got a six
game test. Now Philly ain't playing They're they're playing really well.
Back in first place. I think as of Sunday they
were back in first place game and a half. Now

(01:38):
there's the Mets loss of the bravery. There you go,
and who the Cubs after them? Correct, and we know
what they're doing, what Kyle Tuckers is brought to the
table this year. So it's good and you know what
it gives you, Dan, And I hate to say this,
it's not a Hall pass, but six and seven on
a trip gives you a lot more pressure in a
six game homestand to deal with good team. I'm not

(01:59):
saying you what, oh, now you got leeway, you can
go two and four. The point is that if the
chances of you sweeping are probably not real good with
these with the Fitters you're going to face. Philly's got
good pitching. We know what both these teams are bringing
to the table. So it does give you the back
to the you're going to lose seventy games this year.

(02:19):
It gives you the oh, you got beat by Philly.
I can live with that. Bryce Harper hits the two out,
two run home run in the eighth, they put him ahead.
I can see that happens. But you can't have those
conversations regularly with the birdie of the Well, go back
to golf this past weekend. The guys who birdied the
easy holes and then part the hard ones instead of Bogain,

(02:41):
he won the tournament. He won. He's more interested in
being I mean, he's into being a captain. But the
dude hadn't forgot how to play in Keigan Bradley and
he hit fairways and he birdied the right ones and
parted the right ones.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
There's people who are wondering if he's going to play
the Ryder Cup as a captain.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Well, he initially said he will not, and he's going
to be a great captain and his energies through the
roof Man. He originally said unless he makes it on points,
he will not be a captain selection. He will not
choose himself. Well, they asked him though after the tournament.
Get ready to pick up a kid. And she asked him.
She goes, well, you've said all along and now because Broadca,
everybody's saying, dude, you have to the way he's playing

(03:18):
and the way he's played this year, which has been outstanding,
and last he sure has. It's almost like the energy
that they're saying, dude, you have the way you're playing,
you almost have to choose yourself. And we're close. It's
since September, right, so, and it's a brutal test to
it on the island there in New York. It's a
brutal test out there on Long Island. But it's it's

(03:41):
the it's the case black right that we saw a
US open there that beat people down for years, the
sign that says this is not for amateurs. Yeah, if
you got to, if you're a ten handicapper above, you
might want to play from the front tees and still
pack a lunch. It's a long day. So and Oak
Mount was brutale, but in right, this is gonna be

(04:01):
it's gonna be still hot there. It's gonna be it
is gonna be a fistfight. But Keith and Bradley's played well,
and yes, but they asked him after she asked, I
think was a man of Valianus. I think asked him, well,
have you reconsidered, uh, you know, the way you're playing.
He got a big smile on his face that you
said you wouldn't unless you qualify with the points, and

(04:22):
he smiled into the camera and said I think he
said go Usa, And so I didn't answer, but a
smile which said, I think that means the negotiations are
reopened up. If he's one of the best guys on
the best twelve, guess what he's got to do. He's
he's got to put himself on. But he he may
just be the type of guy that wants to captain
it up and go. So it's it's important. What were

(04:45):
we talking about, Oh, the astros, right, and we're talking
about winning these games. But it gives you go about
birdies and pars and what did the last hole do?
Guy makes a bogie. He has the lead for seventy
one holes basically or tied for it on a whole
that he's sitting there in the middle of fairway. Ill's
got to do his flip a edgend. He misses his
makes bogie with a one stroke lead. What does Keegan

(05:08):
Bradley do hits his close makes birdie on the par
four finishing hole, and instead of thinking he's going to
a playoff, the dude wins a tournament. And so it's
the same thing here. This at least gives you the
leeway to know that if a good team beats you,
you took care of the birdie of the birdie, the
holes that are that you can birdie, well, it's a must.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Well and to your point too, I mean, you know,
I would say that probably the baseball version of scrambling
is one run games. The Astros last year at during
last season, we're eighteen and twenty seven and run one
score games. This year they're fifteen and seven. So they're
finding a way to be able to get up and
down for par They're finding a way to be able

(05:48):
to chip in for birdie, whatever it might be. They're
finding ways that maybe the t shot was not great,
but at least they find a way to be able
to get home with a respectable scow.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
And what do you Call'm kind of applying it a
baseball golf too. It's a good point. Is the swing
and miss or the home run power of the home
you know, the ability to hit home runs and and
and go for every green and fired every pin. But
sometimes sometimes you've got to be able to putt, which
I would equate to what doing the little things well right,

(06:20):
even though it's a position. Get him across a guy
on first base, moving over right, right, taking the extra
basement necessary. On the other side, holding runners, Sometimes they'll
do that well. But yeah, I'm saying if they did
do it, that that falls under that category.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
What did Keegan brad Lands, that need to be better
than anybody on the planet make putts long ones that
he shouldn't be baking, right, So when it comes to
this baseball stuff, the way the Astros are positioning themselves,
once again, Dan, I'm going to reiterate this, and I
mean this sincerely. If you would have told me with
all the that this team's fully healthy and Jordan's and

(06:56):
all star at the at the midway point, and this
was their record, I would say back, I would say,
just the hell of a start. Now we're saying this
without you know, from m Colors to Garcia to to
uh Arietta too, what I say, No, Yeah, I'm thinking

(07:17):
to Jake Arietta, thinking of speaking, You're.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
The because Arietta pitched the TCU and anyone is cy
Young I think in Chicago, didn't he so right?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
And being a kadie guy, so Atty we say Aaron Getty, Ragetty,
and then you got you know, from I mentioned Garcia
and in France and Jordan and Bragman and Tucker gone,
and you start to go through all the guys that
aren't here, and we're still staring at the record that
you would take if they all were and you were winning.

(07:49):
Think think about that where we are and the grind
of these pitchers now, they're even when they're not pitching,
giving a six six out of third six innings. I'm
I feel extremely confident about this team's ability to win
the American League. I honestly do. In a seven game
series right now, I don't think the Yankees can beat him.

(08:10):
I just don't five game series. I don't think Detroit's
a concern because the manager knows exactly what but well,
we say no, But they can pitch.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
They can pitch, and Hobby Bias is improved with the bat,
and you know they do have good hit.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
A pain in the ass, Okay, I mean as far
as a few years ago that the man literally threw
the bat at the ball and got a hit. Yes,
like the bat was out of his hands, and they try
to think they do to try to move him, and
it could they couldn't happen. And he's he's got better
center field now I know him out of the infield, right. So,
but the point is when he's going, he's going. But

(08:47):
they do have the ability to shut you down pitching.
We saw that in two games last year. But in
a long series, who in a long series is better
than the Astros right now?

Speaker 3 (08:57):
With pitching? And then the wild card is I mean,
do you hit? Because I mean they've shown it they
score four or five runs or winning that game the
way they pitched for the most part, right, Yeah, I
mean there's always all obviously always exceptions.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
But we can start having these conversations because we're almost
halfway through the season. We are literally in the mid
seventies now, pushing up seventy eight, seventy seven games in.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, they are at seventy eight games into the season,
so yeah, it's not hard.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I believe by Friday we are at the midway point. Yeah,
you're game series after this Philly series, you're at the
midway point of the season, so you can start to say,
is Jake Myers real? Why is it that?

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (09:35):
This is who they are. If a guy's raking the
first half of season, it's not Jake Myers. We say,
oh my gosh, okay, man, that's guy's going for the
All Star Game. In truth, that's right, Jake, right, Jake
Myers has played like an All Star dude, but he's not.
He's probably not going to get elected because not enough people.
You know what, you know, the routine right, Once you
make it, it's easier to make it. The first time

(09:55):
is a little tough, especially when you go in and
everybody still is shaking their head. This guys sitting around
thre hundre. So my point is they're getting damn. What
do I say, Just give me two career years. Whether
it's football, you give me give me two guys that
you didn't expect to have career years. Myers is having
one paying you having one. That's why they call you

(10:15):
the Angelo PAPIs of Astros baseball. You know, he told
Johnny Utah Utah, give me two. Yeah, that's all. That's
a place around the corner. It's got great. That's all,
John Utah, that's right, Johnny Utah, I could eat the
end of a riot rhnoter straight. Yes, that's right, asked
end out of a dead buzzard is my saying. So,
but just give me two? You saw two? That's right?
So am I right? Though? Yeah? I mean about not

(10:38):
me being right. But the point is is it take
a look a couple of guys without those two career
years at the plate right now, even with this pitching,
this record's a little bit different. So they're having career
years when needed. You're not getting the career year from
Bregman or Tucker. You're not getting a career you from Jordan.
You're not getting a career here from Altuve. No, so

(10:59):
who's giving you career? I mean, pitching's doing their thing.
And when I say that, in pain you may be
worthy of ten more of these, but it's just at
times when somebody else needs to pull people along. They've
had to have people pull people along, you know, to
overcome Christian Walker slow start, or overcome an injury here
or there and trying to figure out, you know, what's

(11:20):
going and then the du Bond step up as always.
So this team, I would take this record fully healthy
or not. So it's a pretty damn good start. And
I would venture to say, when we came out of
spring training and I said here's and you and I
were to say, here's the record at eighty one games,
and let's say they go two or three in this one,

(11:42):
there is no way, there is no way that most
people would have said, yep, after losing what they did
and hoping that parades and that Cam Smith and that
Wiznsky who's obviously out worked out. Two of them have
and are showing it. But in truth, if I had
have told you that was their record, regardless, you just said,

(12:03):
I'll take that all day and twice on Sunday. So
impressive and the scary thing about it, they have not
sniffed for three straight games their offensive production. They have
not sniffed it for three straight games the entire year.
There's not been a three or four five game stretch
where we said they're raking the like when the Dodgers

(12:26):
or the Pod We know when they're they're they scoring
nine to twelve, or the year that the Rangers won
the World Series, whether you know they be putting runs
in bunches, right, Yeah, they have not done that, right. Yeah,
I'm just saying they have not done it well. At
some point in time, you think they're going to run
on a ten twelve fifteen game not win streak. I'm

(12:48):
talking about explosive offensive streak, and if the pitching just
holds up, what's not the like.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
I mean, there's no doubt about it. And for all
the good you talked about with the lineup, I mean
you also have to look at a guy like Kean
he Is has has not gotten going yet.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Nowhere near production that we expect.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Average wise, Perettas is about what you would expect, But
I mean the power balls.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
I expected Perettis to hit in the two seventy range
this season. That'd be very high for his career right
somewhere in the But with this lineup and what they
do when they come here, I said two seventy and
I'm good. His power surge is even better than I mean,
what is he on pace to hit thirty? Right, So
you'll take that on pace to hit more than the
guy who was there before, Not that he's better, but

(13:31):
a little more power, especially early season power. So yeah,
I don't know how. There's always stuff to improve on.
You don't want to get content and hey, we're cool,
We're good. But man, dude, I just don't know why people.
If I said that they were going to be the
first or second best record in the American League around
this time, hovering around there, you'd have taken it. Even
if everybody was healthy, you'd have taken it. If Bregman

(13:53):
and Tucker were here. It's hard to play six' ten
baseball or six twenty baseball a full. Season that's hard to.
Do AND i don't know what they're the percentage is right,
now BUT i can tell you this that you would
have taken, it and you would. Have matter of, fact
IF i would have bet you after all these injuries
that this was gonna AND i told you that all
these injuries and that you were going to lose these,
Guys i'll bet, You, dan you would have taken the

(14:13):
under on those. Victories after eighty seventy eight games into,
IT i would have what what how many wins? Now
The astros forty?

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Five, okay they're three and a half games back of
the best record in The American.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
League The Detroit. Tigers, okay if they go for three
and they're forty five wins at the, midway.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
And even, better they're three and a half games back
of the best record in all of baseball with The Detroit.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Tigers forty five, WINS i DON'T i didn't see anybody
on the planet had him at ninety wins this year on.
Pace so if they play five, hundred shot out on
pay so it was on base, guy forty. Five let's
they get swept By. Philly they're, not that's not going to.

(14:58):
Happen but forty five win at the midway point five
hundred baseball the rest of the year is what would Be,
well it's our forty one and forty, okay because there's
eighty one games left, Right, yeah as Of, friday eighty
one games, Left so they go forty one and forty
how many wins is? That it puts them at eighty
six eighty seven. Wins, yeah and and that probably gets

(15:21):
them in or possibly win the. Division and that's just
playing average. BASEBALL i don't see him playing average. Baseball
the way they're, pitching and we haven't seen their best,
offense this team is Gonna IF i had to redo it,
again you'd start to, think, well they're because they went
two a three hour forty seven wins and then your
You're i'm Just i'm just telling you that this is
when we look at it. Deeper this team's better than we,

(15:42):
thought and they are playing better than we, expected even
though they're not playing as well as we. Expected does
that make? Sense? Sure can you do? Both? Yeah, no
it we absolutely.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
CAN i, mean and we've laid out both the good
and the bad with how they've played so far the.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Season so it's.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Gonna be a good series against The, phillies and we're
gonna have a good buddy me and yours on with

that started off With Fromer valdez Against Ranger. Suarez Also Jeremy,

(16:46):
pania a new guy making the calls for.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Him we will talk about.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
That astro is making some roster, moves and plenty of
other to get to this, morning but a first here
on The Seawan Salisbury, show at least in the incarnation
with me in this sea a carryover from. Yesterday we'll
talk about it right. Here it is The Sean Salisbury,
Show Sports talk seven.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
Ninety, hello haters FROM la To New York park her
up and kiss hour ass.

Speaker 7 (17:15):
Astros oh my, goodness this Is Sports talk seven Ninety
home of Your, astros still twenty, seventeen, chaps proud about.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
It Sean Salisbury show continues right.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Now, WELL i mean it's, Hey, fred we still want you, Here,
okay you that's, Right so we're gonna pick up my
option not.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
For forty five? Million are close to, it all? Right
that's WHY i was on With Nate griffin and thank You,
nate and are great friends At fox who what a,
god great friends of the. Show He's nathaniel's. Awesome we
went on and we were talking about it and sat
and thinking about the, lineup AND i, MENTIONED i, said you,
know and then depending on what goes on With fred
With Van, vliet and this is a this is a
sneaky gig because why would he not want to be?

(18:02):
Here and the truth of the matter, is AND i
don't this is not disrespectful to. Him he's overpaid it
forty five million, bucks, right he just. Is, now you're
worth what you can. Negotiate so he was able to.
Negotiate so he's not overpaid because that's what somebody was
willing to pay. Him but in, truth for a, redo
why would he. Leave he's on the he's on the
steps Of he's as close as he's going to get

(18:24):
anywhere else to win in another. Title, Right he's got
a stud coming in that he can feed and do his.
Thing takes, pressure bless. You he's got some good young.
Players it's it's a it's a it's a great mix for.
Him and so that's why we get all day to
pick up his. Option it's going to go. On it's
maybe and PLUS i Think udokah's presence matters to him
and it matters to to free. Agents AND i think

(18:46):
part of the Reason Kevin durant Through houston on there
is because of Through houston and that this is a
TEAM i want to go play. For i'm Per and
maybe he said, this But i'm Perfectly i'm satisfied to
think that a big re and why was the head
coach as well aside from other. Factors so just because
The Van vliet situation don't pick up his option does not,

(19:07):
mean matter of, FACT i still think there's a heavy
chance he is coming back.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Here, well initially when you brought him, here you had
to do the overpay because you're you're having to convince
of desperation. Too, well there is that BECAUSE i mean
you're coming off of winning like what twenty twenty, one twenty,
two twenty three, games not very many, Games SO i
mean you're having, to you, know go to guys like
him And Dylan brooks and, say, hey you guys are

(19:30):
the are the key to. This you guys help turn this.
Around we are with Who AND i mean that's that's
where that comes. In whereas now you're in position to
not only compete because you've proven you can do. It
you were the second best record in the in The
Western conference last, year so you can go back to
him and, say, hey now we're in the maintenance and

(19:52):
improvement phase of this, thing so we want you to
be a part of, this no doubt about. It but
we also are not in the business this of paying
you forty five per, Right.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
SO i mean hell for they'll be able to work
it out and they'll make him a fair. Offer it
just depends on what he wants and if somebody else,
jumps who. Knows BUT i don't think that we even
contract or. NOT i mean picking up the. OPTION i
think there's a really good chance and that's starting five
formidable as anybody in The.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
WEST i always do the college football coach comparison. Here
this is like the college football coach who's wanted a
job that can compete for national titles and then he
gets there and then somebody's, like, hey you, Know Florida state's,
open and they kind of look at it and, say,
Well i've got a great situation here and we're winning conference,
championships we're in The COLLEGE footba, playoffs chance to win
the title every year, Bingo so why WOULD i leave

(20:45):
and try to restart and do all of that somewhere?
Else some guys are about, that BUT i think for
a guy Like, fred for where he is in his,
career that he probably looks at it and, says there's
no need to keep chasing something and hope THAT i
can get something whereas you leave that you can do
it here because you were that.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Close Van vliet's a really good, player AND i think
is a really good fit. Here is he is he
when he's a. Facilitator you don't need him to score twenty, five,
Right AND i Think Kevin durant obviously takes a little
pressure off that and another scorer Shin. Get the whole
thing is they continue to build towards, it to getting
him to do to do the things that you really

(21:24):
need him to do day every now and then to
score a, lot you, know on those games when, needed
but for the most, part get people the ball in
the right position and do his. Thing but nobody's gonna
paying forty five, million jud J just so let's step
right out in front of. This Fred vanvliet is not
getting forty five million if he leaves here and over

(21:46):
the course of a couple of, years, maybe but he's
not also not going to take a pay cut to where
he's making fifteen million a. Year, yeah, so BUT i still,
THINK i, mean when you're selling what the rockets are,
selling why would he. Leave he's, entrenched they like, him
not at forty five, million or they picked it. Up
but part of it is and maybe he's you, KNOW

(22:07):
i don't know if we saw any quotes from him
or maybe we will today responding to. It but the
truth of the matter, IS i think he's pretty self.
Aware you ain't getting forty five million dollars on an
open market for. Him i'm just sorry you're not going
to do. That but for the right, price which is
still a good price and one that he, deserves they'll
at least give him an offer that's worth it and
that he can get it. Done AND i would, hope

(22:30):
and if, not then you've got to go find yourself point.
Guard but right NOW i think that you're in a
pretty good in pretty good position to get, him even
though it's not going to be at the price he
had on, it AND i think he probably could have
anticipated that when the season, ended that getting that option
picked up at forty plus mil is going to be.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Tough and there's reports out there That Kevin durant would
be willing to take, less not go the full, max
to keep certain guys in. House not only to keep
certain guys in, house but also. TOO i mean there's
a guy In milwaukee that you would need some capital
be open and also some assets to be able to
send if indeed you want, to.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
If you honest comes. Here they go from the fourth
odds with what plus eight hundred right to even the
same odds With Oklahoma, city they're down about plus three
hundred plus two.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Fifty that's the carrot that's dingling out there for the
nixt being the second team THAT i said with the
FanDuel odds, yesterday that's what that carrot. Is oh they think, that,
oh he'll go To New york and play for the
next right and if that's never. Right if that's the,
case good On New, york. Right BUT i just For Van,
vliet you'll get paid the proper. Price but he's not

(23:40):
going to get that on the on any open market
at forty five.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Mil BUT i do believe you need. HIM i do Think,
dan it's worth discussing and maybe we can get this
depending on what we have in mind in the next
segment or in this. Hour and it's going to probably
bear repeating that throughout the. Show are we Underestimating Dylan brooks?
Loss we're focused On Jalen. Green are we Underestimating Dylan

(24:04):
brook's impact when he came here and now that he's,
leaving will it be a bigger loss than we? Think
oh It's Dylan. Brooks we can replace the. Game you,
know there's guys that can do what he, does is?

Speaker 8 (24:16):
There?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
WELL i think it bears And i'm curious what our
listeners think and the fans. Think is this may end?
Up AND i was thinking about it last night and
then again this morning we brought up maybe just maybe
listening to the guys say thank, you like you Know
Van vliet saying what's the van vleet or, something thanks
for helping me shift the? Culture? Right? Okay if that
is the, case and the culture matters in a lot

(24:39):
of pro sports locker room and they should in all locker.
Rooms so in this case which they've, built is the
culture going to take a little hit or is it now? Built?
Now who comes, in just like at the, astras you
just fit. In i'm thinking MAYBE i underestimated how Important
Dylan brooks will be in this in losing. HIM i

(25:00):
can tell you, this The Phoenix suns got help from. Him,
now whether he stays there and they move, him or he's,
dead or they Trade Jalen green and move him, off,
regardless BUT i think Impacted jay Of Dylan brooks was
bigger here than we. Think definitely have some thoughts on.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
That we'll share them with you as we continue here
on The Sean Salisbury, Show Sports talk seven nine.

Speaker 1 (25:23):

Speaker 10 (41:01):
It next studios slight Did, okay let's do.

Speaker 9 (41:12):
This Sean salisbury.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
TO usc true longtime Friend Shawn, Salisbury Dan.

Speaker 9 (41:18):
Matthewscus this is The Sean Salisbury show.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
This evening over at dyke In. Park good one on
The mound From Er valdez Against Ranger. Suarez multiple reports
say That Jeremy painey has Hired Scott boris as his.
Agent and in THE, nba The, Pacers Tyrese haliburton has
a torn achilles likely going to miss all of next.
Season someone three, two, one two five seven ninety is
the number.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Two get.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
In we've put it off long enough and we'll get
into it here and also get into the astros conversation
as the hour goes. Along But Dylan brooks and you,
know asking about his impact that he had on The,
rockets and you know told you about the response That
fred Van vliet had last night On instagram of you,
know thank you in so many, words thank you for

(42:08):
helping me shift the culture here and he and he.
DID i mean that's a huge reason why he And
fred Van vliet And Jeff green and a few other
guys were brought in when they were was because, well you,
know you get to a certain point of a rebuild
where as a team you say it's time for us
to start adding some. ADULTS i, mean, yes these guys
are growing, up but we need guys that are even
more grown than them to be able to come in

(42:30):
and continue that.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Growth, well Rafel stone's going to get the credit for Hiring,
udoka rightfully, so and then you, know to make sure
you get a guy who's a culture. BUILDER i think
sometimes we overuse that phrase and we just assume when
the team starts to window they've got great, culture and
yet we're not. Sure it's pretty evident. Here BUT i
think that, he Meaning Imo, udoka did have had A

(42:54):
i believe a big hand in saying here's almost to
the point of hand picking. Guys you know Some obviously
he inherited a, team but going to getting a guy
Like Dylan, BROOKS i believe it was to also validate
and enhance the culture he's trying to. Bring who's one
of his type of guys right, Now Like i've said,
before when you're playing Against Dylan brooks on another, team

(43:15):
when he's In, memphis you want to do you want
to fight. Him but when he's on your, team And
i've been with teammates like that THAT i played against somewhere,
else And i'm, like oh my, gosh you can't stand.
Him they come into your locker room and instantly the
culture does. Change and so we talk about all this,
talent and you know what's, Crazy when you have good,
culture we just assume you have. It we talk about.

(43:35):
Talent when you have good talent and you're not, winning
what's what do we always ask? For we've got to
have better, culture more buy. It so what's the chicken
in the? Egg is it culture comes before winning or
talent breeds. Culture i'm going to say that you have
to change the building before you can change. Success and

(43:57):
while talent is, good talent will get you so to
a certain, place but talent can also be a detriment
because there's nothing worse than seeing a talented guy who's
lazy and doesn't buy into the, culture and that talent
becomes a nine to two talent becomes about a six
or five talent because you can't count on. Him and
While Dylan, brooks you, know oh you, know he's an
enforcer and, agitator he still knows how to play pretty

(44:20):
damn good basketball and quite, frankly was a guy you
needed because every team needs that. GUY i don't know
if that guy Is Rick. MAHORN i don't know if
that guy Is Dylan. BROOKS i don't know if that
guy is a somebody else's who's just a the impact
that they have our test another. One it's weird we're

(44:42):
saying all these guys who like are are a bit
of a headache to, Some but when they're in your locker,
room everybody is engaged with them and also kind of
gravitates to them without you, asking and it's almost you
almost demand it without opening your. Mouth And i'm starting to,
wonder AND i don't want to poo poo it, away, thinking,
well you, Know Dylan brooks has, gone it's all About Jayalen.
Green I'm Jalen green will be a loss because he's

(45:08):
a good player and he's got a chance to be
a great skilled as could. Be but for my, Money
i'm starting to, wonder AM i and are some of us, Like,
Oh Dylan, brooks we've heard it's kind of a. Passing
oh The brooks is just the throw in that's a
pretty damn good Throw and if that's the, case So
i'm anxious to see AND i think it'll be, Fine
BUT i don't think we can discount just yet until

(45:29):
we see if he made enough impact to where it's a.
Carryover even when you know that guy like a straw
makes that impact when he leaves it to carry. Over taught, him,
well they, learn, right will the same be? Here we
may very well be underestimating the. Impact. Now does that
mean they can't be a championship team? Though but what
you gained in talent With Kevin, durant you lost in

(45:51):
a leadership quality that he, embraced Meaning Dylan. Brooks it
felt like to. ME i haven't talked to him about,
it but it felt like to. Me so, yeah, listen
if you're not, talented you cannot win. Championships you've got
to have, talent but you also have to buy the,
culture buy and have that one guy, that even if
he's not your, star impacts your. ROSTER i think this

(46:11):
is a bigger. Loss can they overcome?

Speaker 5 (46:14):
It?

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Sure BUT i don't think that we can just throw
In Dylan brooks As oh he's an average skilled guy's
he can still play and we saw it this. Year
guy's got, game but he's more known for the, agitation
Which i'm not sure that's fair to him because two
of those stick out more than fifteen great. Games, right
but here and what he, DID i think we May

(46:35):
i've been on teams with guys like, that and their
impact is bigger than you.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Think, WELL i think it's also to a couple of
guys that you drafted the year Before dylan got here
in twenty, Two Jabari Smith junior And Tarry. Easton they're
both entering their fourth. Season tari it's more on the defensive,
end And jabbari you're hoping that what he showed you
offensively in the playoffs is the player that you're gonna
finally get air and.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Asked t both of them learn From Dylan. BROOKS i
will guarantee you they. Did there's just because and again
that's the growing up, part, right there's no, question and
there's another level of the. Maturity, listen just because you
get paid to be a professional player doesn't mean you're a.
Pro i've had guys that they get paid because they're
in professional, sports but they're anything that they're they're, there

(47:22):
they're everything but a. Pro you get my, point and
it's to, say, WELL i Think dylan's, well, yeah and
and the the, talent but they also they rely on
stuff that's that's the other stuff as opposed to what
they can. Bring you know What i'm, saying there's a
little selfishness to. THAT i Think Dylan brooks brought the in.
TRUTH i think there's something about him that that made

(47:46):
that cross the the the right line of this is
how you got to do. Things AND i think that
the chicken and the egg part of. IT i actually
think you have to have buying in culture before you
can win. Consistently talent will get you to a certain. Point,
now if you got, both which this team now has,
talent and you'd think the impact of his of his

(48:07):
leadership and or whatever it is that he brought that
culture changing, THING i would imagine that if, that if
he left that big of an, impact you're gonna be.
Fine but there are gonna be certain. SITUATIONS i think
we're probably gonna crave, it and he will give them
when he plays against these. ROCKETS i got news for.
You he ain't gonna he's not gonna give any pity to.
You he's going to give you the same thing you

(48:28):
give everybody. Else because that's kind of. TEAMMATE i think
he's here the, enemy there's no doubt and that's, okay
BUT i don't think that we thought a lot about.
IT i think we owe him more respect on his
impact to this team BECAUSE i think it's gonna kid
and we may even give more respect two years from
now when we realize that his impact was felt and
that guy's rallied around it and now they've taken it

(48:49):
and applied it to their own game and their own
locker room. CULTURE i Think Dylan brooks is a bigger
loss than we, think BUT i still think this is
a championship.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Team you had two years to be able to have
those guys learn With Dylan, brooks and shame on you
if you didn't pay. Attention and it gets back to
the maintaining and sustaining the culture because the culture is built.
Now you've had two years of Email utoka in this
incarnation of The rockets to know what's expected and what
you need to do if you are going to be

(49:16):
a consistent performer on the floor for this. Team SO
i think that that's part of what went into this,
move is being able to say we're ready to take
that next. Step we've got an opportunity to do, it
and there's reports out there as well saying that this
wasn't even close to being the best offer that The
sons could have. Gotten that it was The Minnesota timberwolves With,

(49:36):
gobert AND i forget who else was part of that
That durant, Said, No i'm not doing.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
That i'm not going. There. Right he wants to be
a part of this and that so that leads to
the buy and you're hoping for, Right but, this, listen,
man the way that THE i, mean The sun's got
themselves a guy who can go help them immediately when
it comes to that. Impact and sometimes we get to
a point where we think everybody has to be a.

(50:01):
STAR i got news for. You it's rare that a
team that has everybody who wants to be the chef
that you win a title because even though you're, talented
clashes over superstardom do kick in in certain said they just.
Do AND i think that WHEN i call, them you,
know piece, guys or people call them glue, guys but

(50:21):
guys that piece things together and are willing to just
kind of do the stuff that others won't, DO i
think he epitomizes, that and SO i think that hopefully
it won't affect the record and the way they. Go
But i'm hoping his impact will be felt more of
what he left behind here than what he's taken out
of the building by them trading him and. Knowing BUT

(50:44):
i wouldn't think they would have put him in part
of the, trade And i'm Sure phoenix liked having. It
if he wouldn't have, said or if they wouldn't have
said his impact was felt the right. Way we can
now move on from it because he has. IMPACTED i
Think Dylan brooks was a bigger impact than people give
him credit for. It don't count out To Men thompson
for being one of those. GUYS i absolutely. Don't this
kid is a budding star in this. League he learns

(51:06):
how to, shoot he's going to complete that part of his. Game,
yeah just even just a mid range jump, SHOT i.
DON'T i don't need just a mid range shot because
we know what he can do and on the defensive,
end and we obviously know what kind did he make
first Team All defenses? YEAR i think he was second second? Team,
YEAH i think he was. Saying and then, around he's
got put, enough he's got enough skill that he can
be an offensive threat night in and night, out and

(51:28):
they just got to polish it. Up and having a
guy Like durant who can shoot will help. You first
team there you go. Apologize, okay so he was first
Team All. Defense so that tells you you're always looking
for that. Guy you got, him and now he starts
to elevate the offensive, end and he'll get help when
you got a guy who can shoot from Where durant can.
Shoot that that that that'll free him up to do
some other things. Too he's A he's an all star

(51:49):
waiting to. HAPPEN i don't think there's any question about.

Speaker 3 (51:52):
That AND i think a lot of people feel the same,
way because when you've talked about potential trades out, there
and even the hint of him And thompson has been,
made you've had almost a strong chorus of people saying absolutely,
not no.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Way all, Right, jason we'll get you involved in the.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
Conversation but also to most of us get annoyed when
people like this start to get. Preachy but this guy
is the opposite of. It we love him for. It
we'll talk about him right. Here it is The Shawn Salisbury,
Show Sports talk seven ninety.

Speaker 6 (52:23):
Proudly broadcasting from the most hated city in. Baseball houston
rides with The Shawn Salisbury show On Sports talk seven.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Ninety all, Right, sean what are you hearing out there?

Speaker 9 (52:42):
Now The salisbury's? Takeout salsburyf takeout on The Sean Salisbury.
Show it Is Sean Salisbury.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
Show Sports sox seven Ninety astros In Phil's dyke In
park tonight start up a three game. Series Jeremy pania
has Hired Scott boris as his new, agent according to,
reports and The rockets declined the team option On Fred
Van vliet that would have paid him forty four point nine.
Millions still open to a long term extension, again according to.
Reports someone three two one two five seven. Nine before

(53:41):
we dive into the, steakout let's Get jason, here who
wants to talk a Little Dylan.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Brooks, jason good.

Speaker 5 (53:46):
Morning you, know When Dylan brooks was a free, agent
there was a lot of teams that was interested in.
Them poor his, defense and that's a lot if you
actually pays attention to The Western, conference you knew that
that was an aspect that The Phoenix suns was kind of,
lacking was a. Defense you had all these offensive juggernauts

(54:10):
that that just couldn't win games for the couldn't play.
Defense SO i, think, honestly The rockets will miss him
BECAUSE i, mean if you take a look back at last,
year how many defensive Plays brooks made in the paint
and just rebounding in. ITSELF i, MEAN i think he'll be.
Missed but this gives an, opportunity like you, said For

(54:34):
thompson to step, up and Now Sagoon segein could be
the guy to, actually you, know.

Speaker 8 (54:42):
Do what he's always.

Speaker 5 (54:43):
Done but you, Know Kevin durant has always taken mess
behind joining The Golden State warriors to go win a.
Championship And Kevin durant' always been a part of a
system where there was three guys and had he went To,

(55:06):
minnesota WHICH i mean relationship between him And Anthony edwards
being best. Buds you, know sometimes it could be a
good thing or a bad. Thing BUT i think this
Gives durant an opportunity to, finally if The rockets do
end up winning, one this gives him an opportunity to
finally say he kind of did it by. HIMSELF i,

(55:28):
mean and that's not discrediting you, know The. Rockets The
rockets are a young, team you, know and they're they're
gonna learn a lot From, durant you. Know AND i
Think udoka played a big part In durant wanted to
come To houston because you, know he's a proven.

Speaker 8 (55:43):
Coach but like this.

Speaker 5 (55:45):
Could this could kind of you, know wrap up a
career On Kevin. Durant you, know he's already gonna be
A hall Of, famer but this could actually finally give,
HIM i, think the respect that a lot of people
don't give.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Him, YEAH i appreciate the.

Speaker 5 (56:02):
Call.

Speaker 3 (56:02):
Jason by the, way It's Alprin, shingoun not stalwarts Of texas.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
History Juan. SAGEIN i don't know if you caught. That
he threw that in, there AND i was, like, no
BUT i got. You you're keeping it real here.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
There no, Absolutely BUT i Mean durant is still one
of the top offensive players in this. League that's not
to Be, uh that's that's that's still a fact with
the way that he's. PLAYED i understand the durability. QUESTIONS
i understand also. TOO i, MEAN i think that's a
huge part why he's here In. HOUSTON i MEAN i
talked about it yesterday having a discussion with a buddy of.

(56:35):
Mine it's a Big Golden state, Fan AND i was,
like why wouldn't he go back there last? Year and his,
POINT i thought was, Valid, well he's already proven he
could win. There he wants to be able to prove
that he can do it somewhere. Else that ego is,
there that that you know what people think about, you
which is gonna come up here in just a, second
that that's still, there And durant has shown you that

(56:57):
you know that that matters to. Him but also here
he can be able to set the tone himself more
than likely will be the go to option offensively for.
You so you've got that going for. You BUT i,
mean it is the twilight of his career and he's
looking at situations of where CAN i be able to
get back to that?

Speaker 1 (57:15):
Point And houston was one of those. Points, Yeah well
of the, TEAMS i don't, know, CITY i get, it the,
coach the, players you have the, opportunity The, well why
wouldn't he want to be? Here let's look at me
all all the. Reasons why wouldn't he at this stage

(57:36):
of his? Career what would prevent what would take him?
Somewhere somewhere he thinks he can make more. Money are
we pass that? Now though the money the money pass
should be a little bit. Secondary he's not worried about.
That he's got rings. Now WHILE i say it's a,
bonus but isn't. It i'll tell you, this what's a
bigger championship him winning it With Golden state or winning

(57:56):
it with The. Rockets no, question it'd be here without a,
doubt right because there it Was, clay it Was. Steph
they won him before and they won more with. It that's.
Right so it's, like come on and join, us not
come on and change. Us here while it's joining, him
he has a chance to change it even more because
the truth, is you haven't felt this good about a

(58:18):
big time star on both. THAT i know we all
felt good About paul And Russ westbrook And james hard
at a. Point but in, truth when's the last time
you had the unstoppable? Feeling if they get going With
elijah wants group.

Speaker 3 (58:31):
Right this version of The rockets kind of reminds me
of the current version of The, texans is that The
texans always thought, of, hey good. TEAMS i, mean somebody
brought up the point the other day About Gary kubiak
had the chance to go Get Peyton, manning but you
stuck With matt schob which was fine because statistically he
was a man no, Right AND i mean and even
With Deshaun watson it was the same. Deal it feels

(58:52):
different this time WITH. Cjs maybe that's it just feels, different,
Right but for sure with, him and it feels. DIFFERENT
i Wasn't durant wasn't on my number one radar when
it for. Me but considering what they gave up and.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
The reasons why now that you dive into it on
this on these terms in the next couple of year
window for, him but he's, see here's a great. Thing
he's not a part of opening the. Window the windows already.
Open the door is open not only for him to,
elevate but also and it's rare a guy that's thirty
seven years old has To we're, thinking does he have
to elevate his? Career we know he's A hall Of,

(59:25):
famer all the. Stuff our caller, said all, that but
the elevation in the the, Overall, oh he didn't just
have to go To Golden state to win one after and,
listen was It? Brooklyn was?

Speaker 5 (59:37):
It you?

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Know you start to Get, phoenix you start to think
about where he's been in the talk of every. Year it's,
like where's he going? Now this is and you're adding
a star and a. Closer SO i agree with. YOU
i think that this. One so he's still at thirty.
Seven moster are winding it down and don't feel like
they have a lot to. Prove another Ring i'm sure
is really important, him but the money's got to take

(59:58):
a back. Seat he sale around THE wa league where
to go up and comer my impact? Here if he
went To, Denver i'm just using that as an. Example
wouldn't everybody, say, oh has to go play as the
best player in the league if he went to wouldn't?
They of course they. Would if he went To New
york Where giannis was he If giannis got there as,
well if they got, him and wouldn't we all, say

(01:00:19):
of course he comes here and it's, like, Well shegoon's
on the, rise all STAR. Amnta the guys that are
close to being stars are on the, rise and the
one who was a star offensive player is now playing In.
Phoenix so this, ONE i actually think the impact of
this for the legacy of his, career let alone another
ring on the, finger and what it'll mean for the championship? Here,
hell and it begs the. Question and for a championship,

(01:00:42):
HERE i convinced that this would be as satisfying for
him as any of them or anything he's done to come,
here because he's part of he's involved in the window being,
open but he gets to carry the wind along and
then gets to bring them what they couldn't quite get
over the. Hump and he may be that. Guy and
here we, Are who's closest now to win in a?

(01:01:03):
Championship If i'd asked this question two years ago a
distant third right When udoka walked into this, building meaning
the toilet to. Center IF i asked this question two
years ago and, said who's the closest to win a
championship of the three major franchises, here and you can
even include, You we'll just keep the main three, Football, Basketball.

(01:01:25):
Baseball you're talking about when The jokah first got. Here
IF i, said When hudoka first got, Here If i'd
asked the Question i'm about to ask you, now who's
the closest franchise to win in a? Championship they would
have finished a distant third because they were still in.
Growth two years. Ago strouded walked on, here we had
just Hired Demiko. Renz we are still in questioning who's
gonna be the guys. HERE i would they just came

(01:01:47):
off a twenty two win or twenty four. Wins, well The, texans,
mean we're not great, Either BUT i would say The
texans won four division championships With bill. O'Brien, dude four of.
Them you Lose, watson you're still hanging. Around, yeah, YEAH
i would, listen The texans were not as. Close neither
one were. Close it Was astros by a. Mile texans

(01:02:08):
slightly ahead of that because people didn't trust Coach. Silent
WHEN i say, trust didn't know if he was the
coach and get him over the, edge right or SHOULD
i say over the. Top so all of a sudden
comes In. Udoka we're a sub twenty five win. Team
that's a long way.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
AWAY i think you were more excited About idoka as a,
coach even though. That there was a lot of hype
With demiko just because it was a reminder of the
really good. Times he was part of. That he helped build,
that but he was still a first time head. Coach
there's no doubt this one's been A you were more
excited ABOUT cj And Will anderson and what they.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Can, ask no. Question so my point, is starting from scratch,
now considering all the, injury now The astros are four
and a half in front of first place. Whatever but
considering we wouldn't have thought they're, closed they're probably still the.
Closest damn they're damn near the best record in. Baseball
they're not far from. That but in, truth think about
now where you hold the rockets now Add Kevin durant
to the, mix is the closest to. ONE i can

(01:03:01):
tell you this going into this, season these two, teams
the The texans and The. Astros going into this season
odds In, vegas neither one were top five to win
A Super bowl or A World. Series The astros were.
Not astros were sex, right but at the beginning of
season they're like eighth or, ninth always in the top.

(01:03:23):
Ten but they weren't because of the changes and Losing
tucker and Losing, bregman and a lot of people didn't
have them winning the. Division and now and now going
into next, year their top five as far as the.
Odds In. Vegas we talk About vegas is right a.
Lot so my point is is they went from a
distant third to right now the national scope of, things with,

(01:03:48):
odds they're the best chance to win a dog on
championship just by odds alone of the three when you
started their particular seasons for next year for The rockets
and for this. Year while people The texans AND i
regard we're still the offensive line and with The astros
going into, IT i think we're all shocked that they
are four and a half in front and playing like they're.
Playing not shocked to, be oh my, gosh a little

(01:04:10):
surprised because of all the injuries well here and they're
not hitting as well as we. Expect The, rockets just like,
that have catapulted themselves into, legitimate full, fledged not forcing
a square pegan a round, hole a legitimate championship team
With Kevin. Durrett as long as he's, healthy they will be.
Around so it's a quick. Turnaround culture, Matters talent. Matters

(01:04:30):
but this is, quantum. Dude two years, ago it'd be
the equivalent of being one twenty some. Wins it's the
equivalent of being two and fifteen.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
And for the, TEXT i, MEAN i think much more
than The astros and The. ROCKETS i, MEAN i don't
think that The rockets are necessarily that far Behind Oklahoma
city Or, indiana and those two teams just played for
it all the.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
Same Way Ocrima city. Did, yeah and then all these
assets and get a.

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
Star and for The, astros all the things we've talked
about of nobody in The American league scares. Me and
it's not even like The dodgers necessary scare. Me and
they're the odds on favorites to win The National. League
they're having their own pitching injury trouble. Bingo so SO i,
mean you, know for The, texans it's more or less
of are you better Than Kansas? City or you better Than?
Baltimore you better Than? Buffalo are you better Than? Detroit
are you better Than? Philadelphia you get my point, here.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
And my whole point about this is you have more
reason to be excited about all three and in particular
The rockets now with The rockets as much as you
have in a decade in this.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
City with the Said i've said that opening night At
Toyota center is the most anticipated in over five, years
and nationally.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
They hold him in higher regard than they have in
a long.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
Time, now this is going to be a team that's
going to be on NATIONAL tv quite a. Bit they're
gonna be On Christmas day. There they're going to be
a team that that people are gonna be excited to
watch this. YEAR i don't think anybody can disagree with.
That we'll continue the conversation BECAUSE i do want to
get to what we were going to talk about in
the in the, stakeout because it is something THAT i

(01:05:56):
think me and you are both going to agree. On
we'll talk about it. Here it Is Shawn's Asbury, Show
Sports talk seven. Ninety the seven o'clock, hour seven ninety
listener line is presented by one eight hundred Car. Cash
it's The Devil's, music of, course of, course, YES i Mean. Elvis,
dude look at him with a dancing if what was
happening now we have people try to Cancel. Elvis good

(01:06:17):
luck with that. One i've maintained. It If elvis were
still with, us he'd still be selling out. Stadiums oh.
Guaranteed Fat elvis in the jumpsuit. TOO i think at
this point he probably would have he Got onnjar or something,
something you, know get with the, nutritionists, trainer all of.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
THAT i Think elvis would have turned her cracked. Up
probably he would probably say turn it, around so get yoked.
Up and it was The colonel. Character, YEAH i. Can't
he was never gonna give he'd had hair when he
was one hundred and.

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Forty and that's what The Austin butler movie taught, us
is That, priscilla Once elvis, passed basically just Cut colonel
a check and said go, Away, yeah you get no
part of.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
This and he went and blew it In. Vegas so
just faded into. Oblivion you a bad. Guy that guy
was no, kidding but presso he'd be song. Stadiums you
talk about a guy in whether it's nineteen sixty or
twenty fifty, Prime Elvis presley's is crushing it. Out there's no,
doubt no. Doubt but that cut run Around sue not

(01:07:14):
An Elvis presley, song BUT i IMAGINE i could hear
him singing that could you in the? Shower you? Jams
there's no. Doubt can you, Imagine like, MAN i like this,
jam and all of a sudden he's, like oh this is.
NEW i like this. Cut who did this AND i
can see him getting huh oh, yeah there's no. Doubt
run Around. Sue you can Picture elvis singing that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
Cut my grandpa went and Saw elvis at the Old
hilton there In, vegas which was a regular occurrence for
him there and you know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
Starting it, Off oh, yeah his true is much. There
you go then maybe go out with a net food of,
cello do a movie Who knows on the? Beach who's
That Frankie? Valley BUT i Imagine elvis had a few
net food of.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
Cello elvis had different, Phases oh, yeah The hawaiian, phase
The vegas, phase.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):

Exactly Elvis, presley but that run around suit. Cut yeah
you were looking for. Trouble yeah love looking into the.
Camera would you say he's top ten recognizable names and
faces of all the, time.

There you've, had LIKE i, said The Austin butler Movie Grace.
Land you can still go out there The elvis channel all. That,
no he's, yeah he he would still. Be i'm trying
to think of like the you, know Like Elton john still.

kind of niche for some. People you, know for Sure,
SPRINGSTEEN i think his politics has probably hurt him a little.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
Bit but you, KNOW i just Think pressley just be
the guy that, is like Like, teflon no matter what he,
did he was gonna he wasn't gonna stick and he
was other than just sold out. Stadiums you, know he
was gonna have his. Fun and he didn't get. Cheated

blow punked. Out, yeah when you'd go in or you'd

(01:11:40):
lock it, in you know in the center that you
put it in there and lock the key and take
the key because people will break it. In and that's
the stealing your blowpunkd that. Happened it happened to us

Nick will give you a shot here in a.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
Second but one THING i did want to close out
the hour with and you can kind of call this
a little bit of steakouts.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
Overtime is you're you a big fan Of Walton, goggins the.

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
Actor he's On, justified he is On Righteous Jim, stones
he was on the most recent season of.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
What, yeah he's not on the first. One you, Said? Justified,
justified that's the what's the leads name of? That Timothy.

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
Olaf, yeah he's an sc. Guy oh, yeah that's. Right
SO i know all the FUN i. GUARANTEE i know
his font always plays a varsity. Deep he's perfect that
it is just to be an absolute. Richard the reason
WHY i, said, oh he's great at, it really absolutely
and so.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Him BUT i would probably recognize for. YOU i, KNOW
i know who you're talking, about BUT i don't know
him by.

Speaker 3 (01:14:21):
Name so he's an actor out, there and he's thought
of as being like one of like the more like
care free guys LIKE i would say that kind of
he is in like the mold of like A Jeff,
bridges if you, will just you, know, easygoing great.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
Actor very much.

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
So he recently did an interview With The Hollywood, reporter
and this is refreshing to hear out of somebody in
that Realm. Uh the thing you constantly have to check
is your ego just because this moment happens and then
all of a, sudden well you have to do things
a certain caliber or you're going to be seen this
way or that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Way who gives a blank what other people.

Speaker 3 (01:14:56):
Think at the end of the, day go to, work
and more, importantly don't man or try to dictate what
the experience will, Be goggins saying in terms of his
reputation everything. Else AND i was just, like you know,
what more celebrities like you, man no, Doubt like that's
that's what we, need because there's nothing that bothers me.
More And Bill burr did a whole bit on this

(01:15:16):
once about you know celebrities that you know they they
they have a hardline stance on Something, Politically he's, like,
OH i don't know what my feelings are about gun,
control but let me see What Sean penn thinks about. It,
oh if this doesn't, happen then sha is going to
leave the. Country AND i love his line is he
goes the nerve of these, Right, Yeah and that's what it.

(01:15:37):
Is is it like there's not threaten me with a good.

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
Time, no that's a one.

Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
Hundred it's like also, Too LIKE i saw one the
other day about is somebody else threatening to leave if somebody?
Won AND i love someone's comment back and, said, sir
this is not the. Airport you don't have to let
us know that you're. Leaving you can just go.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
Right it's not. Man. Man the truth of the matter
is we probably won't know you're. Gone you're a family.
MEMBER i, mean it's just when when some the fact
that you you voted for this guy or this, guy
or you think like this or that you support, THIS
I i can't follow you. ANYMORE i didn't know you
followed me in the first. Place, YEAH i, mean AM

(01:16:15):
i what AM i to change the course of my
life because somebody decided they didn't let and you know.
That oh you, know everybody's got an opinion to go for,
it and then they turn around and don't like you
because your opinion it's not a big. Deal we have
we have done.

Speaker 5 (01:16:29):
Is very.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
Upset oh, yeah, yeah with the said you're right without
the profile picture my favorite. Guy BUT i just DON'T
i just don't get the the why you need to
let me. Know it's it's baffling to, me not even,
me but, anyway he's exactly was that bird you said
said that about the. Celebrities, yeah, yeah it's like, right it's.
Okay you really literally can go away and then when

(01:16:51):
you decide to come, back we won't even know you,
left and you've got to clear your mind of whatever
clutter was in. It BUT i don't think social media
is so misleading to how life feels like it's supposed to.
Be it's, weird, man it's, weird and don't get caught
in the. More LIKE i, said that's why Weekend sometimes
when you're like are on, vacation you start to REALIZE
i didn't really miss it that much WHEN i was
out BECAUSE i wasn't using it yet we panic when we, think,

(01:17:13):
oh what are we gonna. Do it's great for, information
it's great to talk to people like our. LISTENERS i love,
that but there's that part of. It then when you're
away from you're, like you know, WHAT i don't know
what was going on in most of the, world BUT
i didn't miss it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
LIKE i used to, get you, know drawing off sides
by certain things that people would post on there or anything.
Else it just finally got to a point WHERE i was, like,
Look i'll just take the entertaining stuff and anything that annoys,
Me i'll just, say why are you getting angry about?

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
It just, mute, right keep just, mute and keep, going keep.
Scrolling What's by the end of the, day they're on
to something. Else it's not that big a. DEAL i
just we get with all the millions of people we,
GOT i don't, know and they, say, well if you
got five great friends in your, life then you're. Lucky
what a? Blessing which whatever? That so do you need
three hundred thousand of? Them, no that's the. Way but

(01:18:00):
it's nice to have people on that are. Engaging but
the truth is opinions are going to, vary but it
doesn't MEAN i still don't love.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
You it's like it's LIKE i was Watching me and
The lady once for Watching Real housewives In New, york
and one of the ladies, said for her, birthday fifty
of my closest. FRIENDS i was, like you don't have
fifty closest, friends and even if you, did you wouldn't want.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
To, yes it's exactly. Right and the fact that don't
bury the, lead the fact that you Watch Real housewives
Is New. YORK i have no, shame, right but it's your. Opinion,
Dan yeah, Right i'm not gonna hate you because you
watch something THAT i wouldn't watch if you had a
gun to my. Head but, hey who's count it's THAT O.

(01:21:12):
in on the phone. Lines as we will get into
a little bit More astros here in hour. Three But
nick in the galleria wants to weigh. In, nick good.

Speaker 4 (01:21:19):
Morning, YEAH i had a question And i've been trying
to ask you guys this for a, while but trying
to get into that summer. Routine you, know it's it's
different than school. YEAR i went To europe about a month.
Ago went to a soccer. Game i'm not a big soccer,
guy but it was. Cool went to a to a
full And Man city. Game and there's this concept In european.

(01:21:41):
SOCCER i don't know what it's, called but, it's you, know,
what wins, matter but so does your relegation?

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Points is?

Speaker 11 (01:21:48):
That is?

Speaker 5 (01:21:49):
That?

Speaker 9 (01:21:49):
Really it's not, relegation is? It it's total points scored? Matters?

Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
Oh? Okay AND i don't know what that's.

Speaker 4 (01:21:56):
Called BUT i was thinking about THE nba and how
THE NBA a regular season sucks and the that that
end season tournament probably wasn't as great as they wanted
it to, be and what they could do to get you,
know get rid of load, management you, know make sure
that people are watching games on A tuesday, night you,
know In. February AND i don't know if if you

(01:22:19):
guys are familiar with that, concept BUT i thought that
THE nba might learn something From Premier league soccer in,
that you, know these these soccer, teams you, know, yes
wins and losses, matter but so to total points in
some way and at the end of the season like that.
Matters and that might be one way to, incentivize you,

(01:22:40):
KNOW nba teams to.

Speaker 9 (01:22:41):
Make sure that every game actually. MATTERS i don't know
if you guys ever heard of, That and you're in
soccer or.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
That it just struck me as something that THE nba
could learn, from right why they haven't done it? Yet, yeah, Yeah,
no appreciate the, Call.

Speaker 3 (01:22:55):
NICK i mean THE nba, Season and that has been
a question that has started to come up With Tyrese
haliburt and tearing his achilles THAT i saw that some
of The talking head shows, yesterday we're talking, about you,
know the season is too, long the playoffs are too,
long all of those things you know with THE nba.
Season but when it comes down to the amount of

(01:23:16):
gates that you can have, open amount of chances that
you can be able to have to earn money on those,
games it's not going to it's not going to. Decrease
it's going to stay the, same and maybe even to
a certain, Point, sean it's going to. Increase we see
it in all the other. LEAGUES i, Mean baseball has
been at one sixty two for. Years people say it
about baseball all the. Time baseball is too.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
Long all, Right, so and he makes a great, point
but let me ask you, this just like when we
talk about, time if your astros are playing and the
games ten minutes longer than the average you're, not, gosh
and it's a nine any, game are you turning it?

Speaker 5 (01:23:52):
Off?

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
Now i've never been one of those like, people and
there's people in this industry who do.

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
It that is the most angering part to me as,
Well like it's such a lazy. Narrative it's it's a lazy,
narrative and it's it's just, like what's the, Point, okay
if you love good, baseball put it this. Way if
it's ten to one and it's and the pitcher's walks,
Down i'm not. Watching i'm not watching. Anyway. Right if
it's three to two and it's one of those games

(01:24:18):
it's back and, forth back and, forth and it instead
of two hours and twenty, minutes it's now two hours
and forty minutes because you walk to in a. ROW
i guess. What i'm still.

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
Watching the closest THING i will get to IS i
think it was a pretty long. Game but that's about.
It it's not a, complaint it's just an. Observation it's
too it's past the. Threshold it's ten minutes. Over let
me turn it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:40):
Off it's now If NETWORK tv when you're doing in
that national, game don't like it because it cuts into
their news. WHATEVER i had the, ratings but when it
really gets down to it in, truth DO i care
If i'm watching my team. Play LIKE i, said if
The astros don't win in seven to one in the
in the eighth inning and it's a two hour and
forty five minute, Game i'm turning it. OFF i gotta

(01:25:01):
and if they lose can come from, behind which you
won't have. It they don't watch the last two innings
the next day BECAUSE i got that tape. Them all,
Right i'll, watch But i'm not turning it. Off if
The Red sox And yankees are in a three hour
game and it's ten to, Nine i'm still watching In Fenway,
park and the hours don't. Matter it's the same in.
Basketball so let's get two, games all. Right so let's

(01:25:23):
say we're not doing one sixty. Two what are they
gonna do one fifty. Five they're not going down to
one thirty five because it's too much money at the.
Gates they're not passing that. Up so and if they
take away from, one just like when you, watch if
you're watch in, football when when a guy, blitzes guess
what somebody has to? Do cover, up cover up for.
Him so if a guy's blitzing off the, slot the

(01:25:44):
safety must come over and cover up for. Him so your.
Sound it's the same thing. Here IF i Rob peter
take away seven games to one fifty, FIVE i gotta Pay,
paul which, means guess what we're gonna. Do we are
going to extend the. Postseason they are going to get.
There so oh, man that game was three. Hours my
team was in. It they, Lost they lost ten to

(01:26:05):
nine in the and then it was a nine inning
game and it lasted like thirty minutes longer THAN i.
Want did you keep watching?

Speaker 5 (01:26:10):
It?

Speaker 1 (01:26:11):
Yeah, okay would it have made a? DIFFERENCE i, was
you get to bed a little earlier, Stuff but you
watch good, Baseball So i'm never, going oh, man that's
three minutes. Long the average was three minutes. Longer and
if you don't like it in the Fifth indians a,
blot just turn the damn thing.

Speaker 5 (01:26:24):
Off for.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
Me everything doesn't have to be like a step, up
go go. Go and when it comes to, games oh,
okay baseball went to one. Fix try so THE nba
we got eighty two of, them all, Right so oh,
man so what cut it down to seventy? Five? HERE
i got even a different, suggestion quit waiting seventeen days
in between. Games these guys get paid enough money they

(01:26:44):
can play back to backers in the, playoffs especially in
the early rounds and back to back home. Games you
play on A monday, Night why in the world can
you not come? Back that's part of being able to
Be deal with the. Grind deal with the. Grind we,
don't we. Don't we don't do. That why the Play
when did the playoffs Start? April Early? May it WAS

(01:27:07):
i think a week or two before THE Nfl. Draft
you're talking Mid, april, dude It's. June it took two
months to get through the. Playoffs Major League baseball is the,
Same but two. Months that doesn't take two months to
get through THE platf like not Major League.

Speaker 3 (01:27:23):
Baseball now we're we're approaching WHERE i, think like you're
a week or two away From thanksgiving with The World.

Speaker 1 (01:27:29):
Series when's it start late Over? October? Yeah the? Playoffs
when when Opening? DAY i want to know when they.
Started and my point, is even then we'll comply it to.
Baseball we keep wanting to add more, teams N c,
two a basketball, tournament all that stuff keeps going why
in the world Can't Luka doncic play back to back,

(01:27:50):
games especially when you can slot them in is when
it's two, two one one one the two two, games
why can't they play back to? BACK i don't understand.
It why we roll out the, red let's get the
playoffs are way too. LONG i don't mind an eighty
two games. SEASON i don't think it's that. Long plus
in the records and the antles a, time we were into, that,
Right so if you take seven games away From Steph,

(01:28:12):
curry it's, like well over the course of five, years,
man do we got to put an asterisk? Back because
it was done in seventy five games in seid eighty.
Two and, really so if you take seven games away
from when they play seventy, five they're going to add.
More they're going to do something to get that box office.
Money so are we really that? Bummed, well that's too.
LONG i think the postseason is way too. Long why

(01:28:36):
can't you at a home and a? Home why can't
you when you're at home on A, monday can't you
play back to BACK nba? Games? Why? Well and good
games are, entertaining good matchups are are you tay down
by thirty you're turning the damn thing off. ANYWAY i
just don't get we don't need more teams in the
playoffs water down and to, ME i THINK i wish
you would speed up the. Process BUT i like one

(01:28:57):
hundred and sixty two games BECAUSE i love.

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
BASEBALL i, mean talking about The, Astros they've got two
really good series coming up right. Now usually during the,
week the attendance isn't as high as it, is Say friday,
Night saturday, night Even sunday After, well that's.

Speaker 1 (01:29:09):
Logical people have to work in the fall, time go to.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
School but, NOW i mean you get The, phillies who
are one of the best teams in, baseball good pitching.
MATCHUPS i, mean the brand value is there where people
are going to go where as opposed to if The
astros had a six gamer coming up right here and
they're facing off against The White sox and against The
Minnesota twins like they were a couple of weeks, ago
then maybe you're not.

Speaker 1 (01:29:30):
Okay so with that real quick, Disdain danny is so you,
know damn, well they're not going to get to the
point where they're giving money.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
Away, no that's just regardless of you're viewing. Pleasure you're
always trying to find ways to be able to increase.

Speaker 1 (01:29:44):
Phillies tonight it's A tuesday great, matchup possibly Another World series,
rematch maybe could. Be both teams are. Capable so it's
the eighth inning and they're fifteen minutes longer than. Normal
it's three to three. Tonight you going to. Bed, no,
Oh now you may, say, damn that took forty five
minutes longer THAN i, thought cut into my. Sleep you'll

(01:30:06):
make up for, it and if you don't like, it
you do have that option of getting up a half
hour earlier in the. Morning so you woke up a
half hour earlier so you could watch it before last. Week,
okay so you could watch it before he came to. Work,
yeah pause that you're just sleep and then just picked
right back, up skipping through the. Commercials so you Robbed.
Peter you decided to get the normal sleep the night,
before but you got up a half hour early so

(01:30:26):
you could watch before he came into work and talked about.

Speaker 11 (01:30:28):
It.

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
Yeah so my point, is do we really deep? Down,
yeah we complained that there's a night game and it's
at The West coast and it's it's it's not getting
done ntil two in the, morning few and far. BETWEEN i,
Didn't so what CAN i do about?

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
It?

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
Right you do have options THAT tv. Doesn't it's not a. Mandate.
Okay so my point, is are we really we talked
about cutting games? Down what what do we really Think
Tyrese halliburton's injury happened because they played an extra playoff. Game,
no it sometimes when it comes To, achilles wrong, place wrong,
time it's.

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
Unfortunate. Sucks we saw with the guy that's gonna be it.
Sucks it's got a. CAR i shouldn't play on. It,
right we got a damn, right we got, Enough we
got enough load. Management we do it one? Way would?
It we think about high school, kids college, kids all this.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
Money can you? Imagine can you imagine being a player
and them come and, say, hey we're Playing tuesday And
wednesday back to back in the first round of the
playoffs because we're at. Home oh, YEAH i can't do.
THAT i mean baseball does?

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
It H?

Speaker 1 (01:31:30):
Yeah why because they can beca makes no sense to.
Me so you've put thirty minutes on the hardwood and
it's a long, Season but so those Baseball so it's football.
Different but, hell the punishment you take in, football it
takes a while to, recover so you need a week and,
sometimes in the NFL's, case three. Days so you're telling
me THAT i go to a professional athlete and they're gonna, argue,
no my, BOY i can't can't handle thirty minutes back

(01:31:52):
to back. Nights i'm. SORRY i have, zero, zero zero.
Compassion the playoffs are too long because there's too much
time in between. Games go back to back when you're
at home and you're not. Traveling that'll cut fifteen days
off the damn. Thing AND i don't understand why during
the regular season you can't have more back to. Backs

(01:32:13):
i'm not saying la To New, york but if you're
playing In Los angeles and then go To, sacramento you
can't play two games in a row after you flew
first class there and had food deliverty on the plane
and you get to sleep till three o'clock the next.
DAY i have zero compassion for. IT i love THE.
Nba i'm talking about nine. Sport we're just talking about
basketball and how to speed it. Up less, games, no

Speaker 9 (01:34:19):
Com wear a, mask wear, gloves wear leather and.

Speaker 6 (01:34:27):
Chains reminds me of that TIME i accidentally walked into
AN s AND m.

Speaker 9 (01:34:32):
Convention hey, nice my back still. Hurts would be?

Speaker 6 (01:34:36):
Good, oh speaking of, back pain back to FORMER Qb
Sean salisbury On Sports talk seven ninety get medieval on,
them Shun, gary good, Morning.

Speaker 1 (01:34:49):
Hey good, morning. Gentlemen hear? Me can you hear?

Speaker 5 (01:34:51):
Me?

Speaker 1 (01:34:51):
Okay loud and, Clear, Gary, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
Okay.

Speaker 11 (01:34:53):
YEAH i called in yesterday AND i didn't get a
chance to finish my. Comment we were up against the.
BREAK i was asking and y'all about The rocket's owner
yesterday if he's, proactive and of course y'all explained that
real good only and.

Speaker 5 (01:35:05):
Everything.

Speaker 11 (01:35:06):
Uh the one THING i always wanted to comment on
it is at the uh and you may have covered,
this SO i apologize if you, HAVE, uh but, uh
The rockets are already profiting on this trade, already and
uh you have a guess as to where they're profiting on.

Speaker 1 (01:35:23):
It What i'm not SURE i follow your.

Speaker 8 (01:35:28):
Question.

Speaker 1 (01:35:29):
Sales, nope ticket, sales season ticket.

Speaker 11 (01:35:33):
Sales remember last, year but the first half of the, season,
now the seat the stadium was two thirds empty and
then they started filling up towards the end when they were.
Winning but they're already uh booming on uh season tickets
and single single ticket, sales so the stadium should be
pretty much full from the get go starting next. Year

(01:35:54):
so that's WHAT i was asking about the, Owner, uh
if he got involved in not because if he has
a last say on to pull, it pull the trigger
on the, trade he would definitely say yes because of ticket.
Sales SO i didn't know if y'all talked about that or.
Not but have you heard anything on that have.

Speaker 1 (01:36:11):
Not appreciate the? Call, Gary i'm assuming when you add
a guy like, Uh Kevin, durant ticket season tickets do
go up because you're adding star power and a quality.
Player AND i would in order For rafelstone to pull
the trigger on some of these, THINGS i would imagine
the last approval he needs to get is From Tilman,
furtita just Like Jim crane for The. Astros they give,

(01:36:35):
you you, know the ability to go and empower. You but,
yeah especially when there's money involved in most OWNERS i
would like to hope are involved in the approval of.
This SO i think he's all for. It AND i
can tell you, this anytime your revenues and profit go,
up you'll take.

Speaker 3 (01:36:51):
It And Kevin durant definitely adds to that spe season
TICKET i, mean And i've given you what my perception
is Of tilman and family is the ownership group of
this team is visible and also. Accessible but in this,
CASE i don't think it's necessarily A, Hey, Tilman i've
got a chance to be able to Acquire Kevin durant.

Speaker 1 (01:37:12):
Here you cool with me doing.

Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
That i'm sure he runs it by, Him but as
far As i'm probably you, know as far AS i
could guess, here it's going to be able to refel if,
that if that deal is gonna get, DONE i, mean
you're hired as THE, gm, right that's the trust you.
Have that's that's why he's in that. Position but the
other part of, it too is you, know talking about
tickets and. Anticipation anticipation. Sells anticipation in any form of sports,

(01:37:35):
sells and that usually gets people to, say, huh you know,
WHAT i haven't been over To Toyota center in a
couple of. Years i'll go there now BECAUSE i, Mean
i'm gonna go see a guy that's gonna put up
twenty five thirty at night and you, know was at
a time one of the, best if not the best
player in the league and still offensively is that. Guy so,
yeah it makes this team.

Speaker 1 (01:37:54):
Better. ABSOLUTELY i want to be a part of, this,
well do you go to movies When Denzel washington's into?
Him regardless of the the title of the. MOVIE i
don't look at reviews or any of those, things like
what takes you to the movie? Theater When Denzel washington's
in a movie him him. Right so it's the same thing,
Here Kevin. Durant people want to watch a hell of

(01:38:15):
a player play and see what the impact. Is AND
i would imagine that there was a little bit longer
line on the season tickets than. That it's a good,
point but, YEAH i don't think Mister fatiita is turning that.
Down you Think Kevin durant will.

Speaker 3 (01:38:28):
Go What Tom cruise has done in two of his
most recent blockbusters is a short video message at the
beginning about the importance of going to the movies and
celebrating the. ARTS i know that he did a video
message for, that and he did it at the beginning
Of Top Gun Maverick too.

Speaker 1 (01:38:43):
Movie that's the first. One thank you so important to
support the arts in the, theater to see it in the.
Theater but it is true with the acoustics and the
sounds and stuff in those and he's exactly. Right but you,
Go Tom cruise is in, It you're gonna go What Denzel,
Washington you're gonna go watch? It and it's the same.
Thing reach out to organization to see If durant's going
to do that that the video let's let's start a.

(01:39:04):
Trend WOULD i would probably guess he. WON'T i would
think to, SAY.

Speaker 3 (01:39:07):
I think you'll just get the normal lineup hype video
and you know everything else that The, rockets you, know
entertainment staff, does which they do an amazing job. Of
AND i think that's probably as far as it will
go with.

Speaker 1 (01:39:19):
That put it this, way there's been a great energy
in that, building not Just Toilet, center but The rockets.
Building there's got to be an enhanced, energy even though
there's a really good. One you didn't put it this.
Way you didn't take away the energy when you made this.
Movie And i'm sure that some of the fellas and
people know what a bummer to See Jayalen green And
Dylan brooks. Go i'm sure of, it but you didn't

(01:39:39):
actually replace them with a. Hack he's pretty.

Speaker 5 (01:39:42):
Good.

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
Now you had a lot of people showing up yesterday
over here at The Memorial Hermit Training. Center pretty excited
to be. THERE i, mean excited to be there. Regardless
But i'm guessing there are probably a few more high fives.

Speaker 1 (01:39:53):
Yesterday uh. Yeah AND i would imagine this new team
with a chance to win THAT i would Imagine Kevin
durant's probably a little bit giddy about it as.

Speaker 3 (01:40:02):
Well it's what's another one of the, Songs everyone's a.
Winner that's, Right that's exactly. RIGHT i always think A
Tim brando whenever he heard that, song he used to
have it on his. Show there you, go it's A
Tim brando show here On Sporting News. Radio another one
of the.

Speaker 1 (01:40:13):
Legends oh. Yeah SO i think this is at a
time when everybody's pumped about football And astro's baseball because
of the way they're doing their. Thing all of a,
sudden sitting there with a season a handful of months
away is got talk and not just. Chatter it's a,
roar and it's going across the ENTIRE. Nba this is big,

(01:40:35):
man you can stay. Healthy look. Out it's the old.
Thing everybody loves a. Winner, WELL i, mean and in
this case right, here if you're, winning it to me
shows that you're making the investment in the team to
make it better for me to want to spend my
money and show up and watch. You my favorite thing
about this is that they were aggressive going after a

(01:40:55):
guy that other teams, wanted maybe some more than, others
but the other teams wanted to feel like he's still
got plenty to. Give and it's the. Miss it's not
part of the. Puzzle it's the missing piece to get
them over the. Top and maybe there's a few other
smaller ones and maybe another big one to, come who,
Knows but this is this is a move THAT i,

(01:41:17):
mean we're talking about it in a way of man
can't wait TILL nba season, starts which is not normal
at this time of. Year wants to see that we're usually.
Fatigued this is a great shot, energy AND i would
imagine For Kevin durant it's a it's a chance again
to have A hall Of fame, career to prove that
there's something else he can. Accomplish AND i think that

(01:41:39):
people are big on legacy man or their guy could be.
COMMON i, said if that's the, case then you'll be
the second Big if the goods it's the guy you're
talking about, it that's the second. BIGGEST i, mean, well
the first that he'll end up being the second. Biggest
Get Kevin durant if the other guy In milwaukee is
actually a part of. That can you imagine? That and

(01:42:00):
your your co, actor your your supporting Actor durant as
a supporting Guy, Colee come on, Now, Son, yeah that's exactly.
Right so it's the aggressiveness of this organization not to
hope and wait for things to have and be passive about.
It they jumped all, in and they didn't jump all
in just because it's a good prpiece just four season.

(01:42:20):
Tickets they jumped in because they think they have a
chance to win the whole, thing and Apparently vegas does. Too.

Speaker 3 (01:42:26):
Yep and it's getting even better for The rockets by the.
Day so we're just one day closer to seeing them
on the floor and seeing what the twenty five twenty
six team looks. Like let's get into the astros, here
Because i've made a demand when it comes to this
individual astro And i'm not coming off of.

Speaker 1 (01:42:42):
It we'll turn about it. Here it Is Sean salisbury
Show SPORTS sox seven, nine and it's also sort of pro.
PAINTERS i will not use anybody else even When i'm trying,

OTHER diy things THAT i really want to, do and
let cert Of pro get to. Do and what they're
experts at paint in the interior xterior of your business

(01:43:04):

the quality painted sort of pro. Painter it's sertapro dot
com for the free, review and each and every sort
Of pro business is individually owned and. OPERATED i understand

(01:43:48):

Speaker 3 (01:44:18):
Happy the seven to ninety listener line in the eight
o'clock hour is presented by one eight hundred car.

Speaker 1 (01:44:24):
Cash you know, what just a. Guy familiarity. Matters you
know what you're gonna get from. Him he's not an everyday,
guy but has done a good job at times of
of not only filling, in but taking over that job
and just going through. IT i like his. Grind and to,
me when the guy's you, know whatever their rock bottom
is has hit it and then he came back and you,

(01:44:46):
know reinvented his game and the rest of, it it's
he's easy to root. For but it's just a. Piece
if you go in, there it's it's it's to add
to some depth and give you some left handed pop
on the other, side and tell either one the big
fellow gets back and when he works his way through
the miners and gets an opportunity. Again but at least
you know you're familiar with his, game right and what
you what you're basically what your ceiling is and maybe

(01:45:08):
what your floor.

Speaker 3 (01:45:09):
Is with him and expecting a massive amount of production
out of him is not a it's it's it's not
a reasonable, expectation, Agreed and if you, listen you just
hope you get some quality play when, necessary if in
fact he becomes a guy on the major league roster
and you bring him. Up, SIMPLE i just know that

(01:45:29):
Jose l two vaan second base needs to not be
a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:45:32):
Anymore, Okay so is that what you were talking about
what you teased M m, okay and you're you're gonna
die on that.

Speaker 3 (01:45:36):
HILL i am going to Absolutely AND i mean we
saw throwing air in The a's. SERIES i think both
of them on double plays where it was The a's
series and then you had one that led to a
run because you weren't able to turn a tailor made
six four to three double. Play that's he's played fine,
enough serviceable enough left, field and you know that you

(01:45:58):
can use him.

Speaker 1 (01:45:58):
As A dh when you don't have your on around right.

Speaker 3 (01:46:00):
NOW i just think that there are many other ways
that you can still have him in the lineup and
not have a defensive liability at second.

Speaker 1 (01:46:06):
Base do you think it's? BLASPHEMOUS i, mean do you
think people look at your blasphemous that you could Criticize
HOSEL Tv you think they're on the same.

Speaker 3 (01:46:13):
Page it's not criticizing Jose Al, tuove it's just criticizing
the use of them right the game that you want
his offensive se hm while you're playing him at second
base right now because you're trying to linked in this
lineup as much as you, can and you.

Speaker 1 (01:46:25):
Can and Once jordan comes we talked about another, thing
is he's not going to be the full TIME dh
because we know who that is when he comes. Back
let me ask you, this just since you brought this,
UP i almost gonna throw. It and it's not a
matter WHETHER i believe it or.

Speaker 5 (01:46:37):
Not it's just.

Speaker 1 (01:46:38):
Curious was a move to left field part and parcel
not only to him agreeing to do, it but that
they realize that it's he's not the same. Defensively it's
like second. Part do you think that's part of? It,
no that was that Was that's the main, reason not
him going and knocking on the door and beating it
down saying let move me to left, field move me
to left. Field do you think, it's, oh you need

(01:46:59):
a left, Field i'd be happy to do. It and it's,
like help give him a little nudge because you realize,
that whether It's rogers or whether it's at second, base
that at this stage of the career they're better, defensively
They're so it wasn't just all this big you feel
like this Was, Jose we'd like to try your left,

(01:47:21):
field no, problem whatever you want to. Do i'm a
great team. Guy the rest of, it and that part
of this is and a big part of it is
that we've got to upgrade defensively at second. Base you
think that was part of, This, no it's a bit
the main. Thing it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:34):
Was it was absolutely the second leading into the first
because they looked at the way that his metrics have
stacked up at second. Base, defensively and they, said we've
got to improve. THERE i, mean you're trying to improve
your infield your infield defense, right and keep the.

Speaker 1 (01:47:46):
Bat in the lineup and still be, ABLE i don't
want to say hide, him but still be able to
get something out of him, defensively but not in one
of those Prima oh my, gosh he's the right field
or the center fielder have to cover.

Speaker 3 (01:47:56):
Ground, yeah this isn't Moving bigio to center. Field when
you Got Jeff kent and we, knew we knew exactly
why they did, that, Right Jeff kent was a better second,
baseman he was a better offensive player at that. STAGE
a chance to add one of the best players in.
Baseball of course you're going to do. That so you,
know you Put bigio out there in center and they didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:48:12):
Just wake up one day IN al TWO b WHEN i,
said you, KNOW i can't wait to go play left
field obviously after all that, time but a great team
player willing to do, it WHICH i love him, for,
right but we're not mistaken him For Robbie alamar at second.

Speaker 3 (01:48:24):
Base, No, NO i, mean make a good play every
once in a, while but then you're also going to get.

Speaker 1 (01:48:29):
Hold you gath at. Times yeah you. DO i mean
kind of like we even saw it in the.

Speaker 3 (01:48:34):
Playoffs what was it THE covid year WHERE i mean
he turned Into chucknoblock over there at second base with
some of his.

Speaker 1 (01:48:40):
Throats we were just, like what is? Happening? Man it's
and LIKE i, said you love him because he'll sacrifice
for a team no matter. What but the other side
of it, is is it you got to be able
to catch the ball and throw it all the.

Speaker 3 (01:48:51):
Time Jose al TWO v is nothing short as being
the greatest astro that this organization has ever, seen the
most beloved for. Sure now and when he finishes up his.
Career obviously you know the winning feeds into. That but,
yes he will be more revered Than bagwell And busio
for a lot of, reasons for the right reason and
not it's nothing against. Them it's just great guy who

(01:49:14):
how big a presence for such a small body has.
Become THERE'S i it's not even his career is. Over
he's already the most beloved astro well Since i've been.

Speaker 1 (01:49:22):
Here it's not. Close since it, IS i believe, you
and over the years from a, distance when you're Watching
Nolan ryan And clemmens and And bigio And bagwell And.
Berkman you start to go through all the names that
have rolled through, here The Larry dirkers of the world
that have been here along all. That the truth of
the matter is THAT I i don't even know you're
you're it's Your you're battling for second place as opposed

(01:49:44):
to who's closer to. First now you're battling for who's
closer to. Second this is the most beloved ath baseball
player in this, town and aside from Since i've been,
here the most beloved player in this town him And
Hakeim elijahan in my, opinion and What Nolan, Ryan Earl,
CAMPBELL i get, it But i'm talking about the most

(01:50:06):
when you talk about, him the reverence in which people
hold them and while he's still, playing there'll even be
more reverenced when his career is, over like it is
for a guy Like Elijah, one and the craving for.
Them you, know people still Want Elijah, one which he
was still playing right which is. Unfathomable but, yeah, beloved
and that's just from a guy not being. Here there's
no people that's. Arguable but from my vantage, point when

(01:50:30):
it's brought. Up it's it's it's. All it's it's a no.
Brainer It's altuve And elijah. One when it comes to,
BELOVED i, say the best in their. Sport you can
make that argument too bullpoll of, Famers but to mine
from an outsider that came into this, city it's it's
it's not. Close korea wasn't in that category as much
As bagwell And bigio were. Beloved, bregman it's it's this

(01:50:55):
cat by. Far and it's not just beloved because he's
smaller and he's an okay player and it's like a.
Gimmick he's beloved because he is A hall Of fame,
player and he is a great teammate in a hell
of a human being who has come up clutch time
and time again out in the, postage just when you
start to, think, well they go hit four home runs
in three. Days maybe he fits into what we're going

(01:51:16):
to talk about, here because you've mentioned the news About
Jeremy pania and WHY i believe you cannot look at
this as a bad. Thing we'll talk about it here
on the other side on The Sean Salisbury Show Sports
talk seven. Ninety but FIRST i want to tell you
about my friends over at one eight hundred Car. Cash
that's one eight hundred two two seven twenty two seventy.
Four and you see it all the. Time when you

(01:51:38):
got your phone in front of.

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
You right, now you got your, computer whatever it, is
just look up THE us car, business just google, it
you use car, business AND i can almost guarantee you
that one of the first stories you're going to see
is a shortage on retail ready cars that the car
business is looking for you to sell your car.

Speaker 1 (01:51:56):
Today don't you get it all the?

Speaker 3 (01:51:58):
TIME i MEAN i mentioned it where you just go
out and buy a, car and then about a month,
later maybe the dealership or somebody that's within the family
of the make that you bought your car for that
they are already emailing you and, asking, hey would you
like to sell your? Car, well one eight hundred car,
cash you you can call, them and you get the
power when you call one eight hundred car. Cash that's

(01:52:19):
one eight hundred two two seven twenty two seventy, four
because you've got the. POWER i mentioned the billboard all
the time right there on THE uh on the West
loop head and north where it says not a targeted
ad unless you like cash for your. Car and that's
exactly what you get when you call one eight hundred Car.
Cash that's one eight hundred two two seven twenty two seventy.
Four because you know that you've got the trust that

(01:52:40):
you're dealing with trained, professionals men and women who know
cars inside and out and know the business the same,
way and they are looking out for.

Speaker 1 (01:52:48):

Speaker 3 (01:52:50):
WORTH i, mean, seriously give them a call, today one
eight hundred Car, cash one eight hundred two two seven
twenty two seventy, four because it really could surprise you
today when you tell talk with the great men and
women over there at one eight hundred Carcash once, again

two seventy four and online at carcash dot. Com This

(01:53:12):
Sean Salisbury show continues to. Continue we get the brother breaking.
OUT i forget what the brother's name, is but, anyway
it doesn't. Matter it Is Sean Salisbury. Show Sports talk
seven Ninety astros get The phillies in town to start
up a three game. Series Jeremy pania, guy we're gonna
talk about, here Hiring Scott boris as his, agent and

(01:53:34):
some people immediately went doom and gloom on this as
soon as they saw.

Speaker 1 (01:53:37):
That of that's, it he's.

Speaker 3 (01:53:39):
Gone you, know it's no use to even try to
get in on any contract discussion with, him because, well
he's Hiring Scott boris because he's looking at the future
to get. Out but as it stands right now With,
paniam his contract has him on right now an arbitration

(01:53:59):
deal for four point one. Million he's got another year
of arbitration and he won't be a free agent until
twenty twenty. Eight so we've had we Have dana all
on every single. Week they avoided arbitration last year with that,
deal and so he'll have two more cracks out it
before he reaches an unrestricted free.

Speaker 1 (01:54:14):
Agency i've said it For borrow trouble this early as.

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):
Well there is, that And dana has told us that
when he joins, us and he joins us Every wednesday
at nine, thirty so that's coming up. Tomorrow BUT i
mean With, PANIA i think he has two things working
in his. Favor if you're The, ASTROS i think that number.
ONE i understand we played up the Jose Al twove
angle With Alex, bregman and it worked out well of
you deciding to not go With bregman instead to make

(01:54:38):
the deal to Get eastock paratus here and there hasn't
been much of a drop off over there at third
base power, wise it's been an increase in. Production but With,
pania he's a guy THAT i think it's kind of
the giving tree. Example you keep, couting he keep, cutting you, know,
branches keep plucking, fruit doing all of. That soon enough
it is a. Stump Jeremy pania would make this thing

(01:54:59):
a stump if you lost. Him, Yeah BUT i understand
the fans doom and gloom about.

Speaker 1 (01:55:05):
IT i. Do, now it's no reason to start worrying
about it, now it's it was twenty twenty. Eight start
borrowing trouble and getting yourself an. Ulcer now you're the.
Nuts don't chase ghosts, yet and don't go chase the.
Waterfalls you know What i'm saying. That but to, me
that's exactly we can deal with this down the road

(01:55:25):
when it comes to when your worry kicks. In is
there an? Allart is it? Alarming If i'm a, PLAYER
i Want Scott boris because he's gonna get you maximum.
Dollars that's his, job whether we like it or. Not
on the on the player, side that's why they hire
him maximize it. Too DO i think he Hired Scott
bors to get out Of? Houston absolutely. Not DO i
think he Hired Scott bors to maximize his his pay?

(01:55:48):
SCALE i absolutely. Do if this, continues it won't matter
if you Me Harry hatchett asked For Scott bors his.
Agent he's gonna get. Paid, Okay now you may get
paid four hundred million and want for twenty. Five that's
Where boris comes. In he's The he's the sledgehammer times.
Too With scott it's usually we're gonna win and you're
gonna field the sledge hammer With but he does it first,

(01:56:10):
clients AND i get, it AND i support. HIM i
think he's damn. Good you may have, disdained well not,
you but all of us towards how he does. It
but that's just he's good and that's why players hire.
Him pain is a smart. Guy BUT i think the
Al tuovey effect on players staying here is overrated when
it gets right down to. It, Hell i'm sure he

(01:56:30):
Wanted springer. Here he spoke about Keeping. Bregman they didn't
come off the first offer in the first. Place what
was it a buck sixty five or something somewhere in that. Range, Dan,
yeah so as. Much and WHEN i say, overrated not.
Him AND i know how they, feel But Danny brown's watching.
Baseball Jim crane's a baseball. Guy this whole group understands is,

(01:56:52):
listen you don't want to lose, him but not everybody's
gonna Be. Altuve AND i got news for. You if
he's worth three hundred and fifty, million they're not gonna
pay him because of the way that they AND i
don't mean that, disrespectful it's just the way they get,
players the way they they they train, players the way
they bring them up to the organization to buy. In,

(01:57:13):
WELL i think there's a chance he'll. Stay don't misunderstand.
Me if this trend, continues this is going to be
an expensive. One BUT i don't think for one second at,
LEAST i don't think it's the deciding. Factor you may
have a little impacck you should we have them? Here
of course al Tuo ve wants him. HERE i don't
think your decision if it's a twenty five million dollar
difference over a. Contract Al twovey's thought process For pana

(01:57:35):
will have zero impact on their signing. Him we'll get
into this a little bit more With.

Speaker 3 (01:57:39):

Dan matthews, us this is The Sewan Salisbury.

Speaker 3 (01:58:50):
Show her to see A Carbock brewing And, gordy let's
get fired up. Here if we were talking About Jeremy
paineys Hiring Scott boris as his new. Agent and one
of the things you know to the other side, Too
sean we were talking about is you can't underscore the
success of this team When Jeremy piney has been successful

(01:59:12):
at the. Plate twenty twenty, two we saw. It he
gets you to THE, lcs he WINS mvp in THE,
lcs he wins THE mvp in The World. Series what's
the constant. There he was a productive guy for you
at the plate to earn those.

Speaker 1 (01:59:26):
Things now do the math that, says go look at
the record when he was hitting in the two hole back,
then go look at the record of this team When
Jeremy peney hit second that. Year it's fairly. Alarming now
he's obviously in the. Leadoff it's obvious to, me the
more pressure you've put on, him the better player he.
Is WHERE i, know the opposite is true for some
practice Field All american chokes on their own spit come game.

(01:59:49):
Day the. Opposite give me the guy who's a gamer
and a pressure guy far more Than i'm not saying
he doesn't, practicable but far more than the guy who's
a practice Field All american or a pregame All, American
i'll take this. GUY i don't Think Al twovey's impact
has anything to Do if he keeps playing like, this
we'll have. Anything we Know al tuve wants, Him. GORDY
i don't Think al al Two veay's impact and saying,

(02:00:11):
well we got to keep paying you will have anything
to do with him in twenty twenty. EIGHT i just. Don't,
yeah it's it's. Money.

Speaker 12 (02:00:17):
Yeah, look the good thing here With Jeremy payne is
you got this, year he got next, year ain't got
the year.

Speaker 1 (02:00:23):
After still. Arbitration he's not a free agent until twenty twenty.

Speaker 12 (02:00:26):
Eight you, know the him going and getting, BORES i
think sends the, message, yes he is gonna he wants
that big fat monster.

Speaker 1 (02:00:35):
DEAL i still stand on this. Though, guys look.

Speaker 12 (02:00:38):
As great as the year as he's, having AND i
PREDICTED i said before the, YEAR i Thought Jeremy pennie
was going to have a breakout year and all this
it's still one good. YEAR i mean he's been chasing
for the last few. Years he's been chasing that twenty
twenty two postseason performance since, so you, KNOW i think
it Was Ari, alexander somebody who was in here a

(02:00:59):
few months, ago say, oh you, know pay him, now
because it's only going to get the price is only
going to get. Higher and, again If i'm a business,
OWNER i, go you know, what that's a Risk i'm
willing to take BECAUSE.

Speaker 1 (02:01:09):
I got to see.

Speaker 12 (02:01:10):
More because WHAT i don't want to happen IS i
hand this guy a seven eight year extension and what
he was yeah last year or the year, Before, LIKE
i just need a little bit more of a sample.

Speaker 1 (02:01:21):
Size So i'm willing to take that.

Speaker 12 (02:01:23):
Gamble and, again if if he becomes one of the
greatest hitters and he's, incredible well LOOK i got two
more years of that great hopefully one Another World series
title in that. Window but what the askers have shown
is they're they're not going to be held. Hostage And
Scott Scott bors holds team's hostage always.

Speaker 1 (02:01:38):
He, goes he, goes what you, know not good? Enough
can you go?

Speaker 12 (02:01:42):
Higher and it's like they end up getting these owners
and gms to give out these stupid deals and it's
like none of these guys live up to those massive,
deals none of them.

Speaker 1 (02:01:50):
Right and you, know good negotiations is when both sides
feel like they won, right and like when my agent
was doing my deals over the gain even in the.
Broadcast been in, football when you walk out of there
and you feel like they, won they felt like they,
won and you felt like you want that's a good.
Fit the idea of negotiation isn't for you to take
a sledgehammer to the head to where he beats you

(02:02:12):
down so bad and squeezes everything out of the turnip. Deposit,
again the players love it because, well they want all
the money they can. Get but what happens is you
want the organization both to feel, like, okay we both
want and we're moving. Forward But boris's goal AND i get,
it is there's no personal feelings about. This this is
money and money for my, guy AND i am taking

(02:02:32):
a double edged mallet to your head a. Sledgehammer and
that's how he operates and it, works and that's why
guys hire him because he gets a maximum money.

Speaker 12 (02:02:40):
And money solves a lot of. Problems don't get it.
WRONG i mean everybody wants to be one of the
highest paid. Players that get, It and there's the ego
involved in that, shit, sure.

Speaker 1 (02:02:47):
But does it by?

Speaker 12 (02:02:48):
Happiness do you do you truly Believe Alex bergman is
happier right now In boston than he was anytime here In.

Speaker 1 (02:02:53):
Houston do you Think George springer is? Enjoying you happier
with his? Start?

Speaker 12 (02:02:56):
Yeah Is George springer enjoying missing the playoffs every year In?
Toronto Is Carlos kray enjoying doing absolutely nothing In? Minnesota?
Like they got paid? Great but are you happier that
you're gonna look back in your? Career the best years
of my damn career were In. Houston so, AGAIN i,
DO i do think there was something to. That can
you find the all the l TWO a contracts have

(02:03:18):
been win win for. Both it's been a win for The,
astros it's been a win for al.

Speaker 1 (02:03:21):
Twove, uh you know the, extent every step of the,
way they both felt like they, won even the.

Speaker 12 (02:03:25):
Extensions they've got gotten ahead of the game on Like
or and On, alvarez and you know it's it's a win.
Win but then, again you, know keep in mind when
they paid mccullors would have been people been bitching.

Speaker 1 (02:03:37):
About the last couple of. YEARS i can't believe we
paid them all that.

Speaker 12 (02:03:39):
Money that happens if you Give Jerry paytone a seven
eight year doing he falls off And ba's two thirty next.

Speaker 1 (02:03:45):
Year what's everybody gonna be? Yelling, Right so it's gotta
be a little bit of give and.

Speaker 12 (02:03:49):
Take but yeah to me as soon AS i saw that,
Yesterday so of course he signed by everybody who wants
that big Fan, brown they're gonna go get.

Speaker 1 (02:03:56):
Bored, hey real, quick do you? Do dan And gordy
Both he reminds what you, Say gordy about the money.
Thing it's like high, school it's my best. Time i'll
speak for, myself my Best you, know you go to
college and now they go to, college you get, paid
go to THE. Nfl you're, like man. Alive all that.
Money it's. Great but WHEN i think back with my first,
thoughts when somebody, says, hey, man what do you feel
about football in your? Career you, know WHEN i first
think about my best times Were friday night high school

(02:04:19):
football or getting, paid it kind of goes. There all
that's fine and dany you want to get. Paid but
when you, REFLECT i go back and. REFLECT i loved.
COLLEGE i love THE, nfl but my favorite times were
the simplicity of high school. Football and it's the same.
Here there's no way On god's Green earth That George
springer thinks his career is better off In toronto than
it is. Here now you get, paid and that'll be.

(02:04:40):
Fine he's got a, ring but there's still that feeling, of,
man DO i miss those? Days AND i think we
all miss those days when we are at the, best
when it was a lot. Simpler it's nothing simple about
negotiations when it comes To Scott boris.

Speaker 3 (02:04:51):
Period it's also. TOO i, MEAN i think the position
has to. MATTER i, mean when you have what he
brings you at shortstop like that's that's got to be
able to up. TO i, mean, really what's expected out
of you, know any guy that's you, know going to
be somebody that we said that when.

Speaker 1 (02:05:07):
Kar was, here can't lose, it we said When bregman was.

Speaker 3 (02:05:10):
Here you're, RIGHT i think lesser With correa, though because
the injuries were a thing. FAIR i, mean that's that's
WHAT i. Think he was a postseason hero, here as
Is payna, Obviously.

Speaker 1 (02:05:19):
But it's ALSO i, Mean, gordy you, know it's.

Speaker 3 (02:05:23):
It's it's one of those WHERE i, mean, okay so
you decide not to go, here but then you give
a deal to a you, know mid to late thirty
year old guy that's you, know a two or three
year deal and you, know expecting that they're still going
to be that same. Player i'd much rather overpay for
the young guy than go that. Route well, AGAIN i

(02:05:44):
JUST i need to see it more from.

Speaker 1 (02:05:46):
Pain giving a longer body of.

Speaker 12 (02:05:47):
Works it's a fantastic year AND i hope he continues
on his trajectory and if he, does it's gonna spell
good things for The astros in the. Postseason but my
biggest issue is he was not this the last two.
Years so AGAIN i need to see a little bit
more of a sample size before we start. Talking because,
again like let's be, real when the fans start yelling
pay the, man there's that's not black and. White it's

(02:06:11):
a very gray. Area it's not pay him or don't pay,
him it's pay him what how many?

Speaker 1 (02:06:17):
Years this?

Speaker 12 (02:06:17):
Is how you? Know it's it's it's it's got to
be within. Reason Scott bors doesn't work within. Reason he
works outside of. Reason you say seven outlier is his? Reason,
yeah it's and it's his. Job it's what he does
and he does a great job of doing. It now we'll,
say does he put his guys in the best position
to win in. Baseball, no winning has nothing to. Do

(02:06:38):
he's just about the most point win.

Speaker 1 (02:06:39):
At the atm right, Exactly and real, Quick, dan about,
this think about what you're. Saying you're, right the importance
of shortstop a premium, position and if he adds power
to his, game like the average and the energy and
all all the stuff that we know. About and we
can go, back come back and talk about. This i'll
get you guys. Opinion but think about. This the way
salaries arising at a premium. Position let's say the way
he's playing now is who he plays the next two,

(02:07:01):
years and they haven't extended, him what's it going to be? Worth,
no then then that's when you. Creep, YEAH i was gonna,
say that's that's when you start to creep the three
hundred things now becoming for those type of. Players Kyle,
tucker that's becoming a and to WHICH i, say let's
somebody else. Pay that's we're not. Paying that's my. Point
so the production goes, up you're gonna lose him. Anyway

(02:07:22):
and With, boris that's the double. Whammy if production goes back.
Down To gordy's, point you may be able to keep,
him but you're gonna have to raise his pay even
if he's a two seventy five, guy but considering what
he's going to make if this assent continues in twenty twenty,
eight he won't be.

Speaker 12 (02:07:39):
Here and The astras number one, prospect you know position
he plays shorts Up Bryce.

Speaker 1 (02:07:42):
Matthews, yes that's the, future and that's and that's quite,
frankly probably how they'll think if this, Continues you milk,
it try to get another one and then it's. Next
that's been their business. MODEL i don't expect it to.

Speaker 3 (02:07:54):
Change now we'll continue this, conversation also get into a
little bit of the series against The. Phillies gordy in
with us for His tuesday visit courtesy At Carbach. Brewing
right here At Sports talk seven.

Against Zach wheeler tomorrow, night and then the finale you
Get Christopher, sanchez who has been really good for The
phillies Against Hunter. Brown needless to, say people like me
who complain about offensive, production it's not gonna come down
to that in these next three.

Speaker 12 (02:08:38):
Games, Yeah i'm trying to look back On Ranger suarez
and his performances the last couple of. Year let's, see
he did not face The. Astros last, year it's twenty twenty.
Three he did not face The. Astro so do you
know the last time The astros Faced Ranger suarez Was.

Speaker 1 (02:08:57):
Game, Three game three of The World series.

Speaker 12 (02:08:59):
Where that was the last Game lance mccolors pitched prior
to this, season when he got rocked And suarez went
five shutout.

Speaker 1 (02:09:06):
INNINGS i was about to Say suarez had a little
bit better day that day than Than lance.

Speaker 12 (02:09:10):
Mccolors, yes, yeah they won seven and, nothing and THEN
i think the next game was what The Christian javier no,
hitter and Then game five Was chas McCormick robbing the
bank up, yep and then coming back here and and
getting it. Done but, Yeah Ranger swarez is having a fantastic.
Gear he's six and one with a two twenty era
fifty two, strikeouts a one oh six, Whip so that,

(02:09:32):
yes TONIGHT i went to over under his, show BUT
i put it probably three and a half runs.

Speaker 1 (02:09:36):
Tonight And i'd say take the under as. Well that pitching,
staff when you're talking about their front line, starters is pretty. Good,
yeah and when they're at their, best they're pretty their dynamic,
man and this dude is really.

Speaker 8 (02:09:48):
Good.

Speaker 1 (02:09:48):
Yeah if they're both pitching ninety percent of who they,
are there'll be there'll be a lot of, outs not
very many, hits and every run will be precious and
there won't be a lot of.

Speaker 12 (02:09:59):
Them so it just gave your ranger sore as his,
Numbers zach WILL i was gonna say now to night
is seven and two with a two sixty one E
ra and then On Thursday Christopher sanchez six and two
with a two eighty seventy.

Speaker 5 (02:10:12):
Ray.

Speaker 1 (02:10:12):
YEAH i mean it's all they're all eras and the two's,
crazy and which has catapulted them into first place. Pitching, pitching,
Pitching we know what that's like, here and that lineup's
not Too. Yeah you think they're, Okay, yeah miss a
few pitches there and they'll end up. Upstairs, yeah pretty.
Good so the good thing is you're at.

Speaker 5 (02:10:28):
Home.

Speaker 1 (02:10:29):
Yep you, Have you've won majority of your series at,
home so do your really good one run. Games As
Steve sparks pointed out as, well, yeah and it's a
Possible World series. Matchup you think any time you mentioned
everybody but The dodgers at The National, league are we?

Speaker 8 (02:10:43):
Wrong?

Speaker 1 (02:10:44):
NO i, NO i think look at how things you
KNOW i have. PLAYED i, mean look at THE.

Speaker 12 (02:10:48):
NBA i, mean you, know prior to the, season everybody
would have been you, know nobody would have been picking
The thunder and The. Pacers but uh, YEAH i Mean
i'd sign me up right now if that's if that's
An Astro's Phillies World series read.

Speaker 1 (02:11:01):
And, DAN i don't know if you want to to
do a little more baseball one THING i. DO i
want to get this in and we can switch. Back
but we were talking earlier ABOUT i brought up and
we visited About Dylan. Brooks are we underestimating his impact
here when he? Leaves are we not giving him enough?
Credit culture? Wise but are we just kind of blow
he's just kind of a throw. In, yeah he deserves
more than a throw into a. Trade, absolutely he was a.

Speaker 12 (02:11:23):
Leader but but you had to make your work financially money,
Wise so you were either losing him or you, know
bringing Back fred and then moving. Him you, know like
you had to make some money because of What katie was.
Making SO i was kind of resigned to the fact
you were going to lose one of the big money.
Guys will impact, Him sure it'll hart a little, bit
but that's where you Hope durant's, leadership that he can

(02:11:44):
be a leader, here you, know and his leadership comes,
out and then some of the young guys start to
lead by, EXAMPLE i think because of E may the
style he, IS i think you're.

Speaker 1 (02:11:54):
Fine and he's the culture.

Speaker 12 (02:11:57):
Guy, anyway when when when they would have time outs
and huddles and all, That fred was the vocal.

Speaker 1 (02:12:02):
Guy so it's to me is if they bring Back
fred Van, vliet he's the. GUY i, well he ain't
getting forty five million dollars anywhere. Else, NO i believe
THAT i. Do i'll be more shocked if he's not
here than if he, is even though they didn't pick
up his.

Speaker 12 (02:12:13):
Option and maybe he's willing to take a little less
knowing or not not take a pay, cut but like
maybe not go full what he could get. Knowing, Okay.
Durancier let's make this probably a good idea to put
all these guys. Together let's make this work. Financially maybe
Even katie's, like, LOOK i won't go with the Max.
Max let's you, know let's make it work where we

(02:12:34):
can have something good. Here do you think another massive
move is down the. PIKE i think they're, talking BUT
i MEAN i think, here here's the. Thing they still
have money spent it free agency. TOO i, mean it's
not like they have to go make a. Trade, yeah
in a perfect, world you, Know i'd be Calling. Milwaukee
the problem is you Call milwaukee and you pull a
trigger on. It Gianni, steel you lose in every asset you,

(02:12:55):
Have like that's you're all in and this is your
team and a yes on, Paper Kevin.

Speaker 1 (02:13:01):
Durant you have to win a. Championship team is, Awesome but.

Speaker 12 (02:13:07):
You got like a two year window and then it
kind of fizzles out and then you're rebuilding.

Speaker 1 (02:13:11):
Again you go twenty, five twenty, six twenty, six twenty,
seven and you're back At, yeah you're back.

Speaker 12 (02:13:16):
At this move didn't hurt you, Much like you still
have a you're still in a championship. Window you still
have a lot of. Assets you can still keep kind of.

Speaker 1 (02:13:25):
CHURNING a little window won't close If Kevin durant retires
in two. Years here's my, point, right good enough to
keep it, going.

Speaker 12 (02:13:30):
RIGHT i had somebody at another market telling me last.
Night they were, saying, uh, like, MAN i would not
have given up On Jalen. Green he's only twenty. FOUR i,
said well, THERE i, said they're they're banking On Cheing.
Gun and the guy, goes, WELL i Mean changoon's. OLDER i,
Said shangun is a year, younger and he just had
his First All star. Year we saw four years Of
Jalen green really good, player not only he's just not

(02:13:53):
we we had four years to see if the light
bulb was gonna come. On do you Know Tyres? Halbert
and by year four he was An All. Star by
year five he was a two Time All. Star so
like it took a while for light bublic calling for.
Him but we saw most guys in THE nba that
are top five picks by year, four we see that
light bulb come.

Speaker 1 (02:14:10):
On Shay, Gilges, Alexander, YEAH.

Speaker 12 (02:14:12):
I mean they. Reached you find out is the elite or.
NOT i Think Jalen, green nice, player not. Elite how
many Years Anthony edwer has been a? League about four
right around, there right four or? Five summer three FOUR
covid was so twenty ONE i think was his first.
Year we're staying right at What gordy's talking about, now
not the same. Time, yeah and he's elevated that.

Speaker 1 (02:14:30):
Franchise so it does, matter And i'm with, you it's
just plus you got to see the opportunities that if you, think,
okay it's not just that we have him, here can
we live without? Him and they can survive Without Jalen,
green that's.

Speaker 12 (02:14:42):
Obvious, yeah and you still got all THESE i mean
you still Got i'm And, thompson you still got Ree shephard,
was you, know sitting on the bench calling give me, minutes,
man let me get out, There Kem, witmore same.

Speaker 1 (02:14:52):
Thing so there's expectations that he's going to be the
guy you're talking About dan being able to score and
bring that to the table and more offense From Jabari
smith as. Well.

Speaker 12 (02:15:01):
Yeah, yeah you think him And katie you're going to
have some conversations on the. BUS i would, think so
do you when you do?

Speaker 1 (02:15:07):
This what do you you?

Speaker 12 (02:15:07):
Know what do you.

Speaker 1 (02:15:08):
Do if you're, not you better sit next to each
other and follow him around like a baby duck following
a mother.

Speaker 3 (02:15:12):
Duck, YEAH i was gonna say we mentioned him. Yesterday
Cam whitmore another guy that you wouldn't. Mind, hey they're
working out a lot over here at The Memorial. Herman
you know those three. Guys it seems like you see him.
Everywhere Make Kevin durant tell them to go.

Speaker 1 (02:15:24):
Home LIKE i, said DIDN'T i see him already shooting
jump shots In New York city? Yesterday is that like
A la fitness or something up? There guess what is
in a? Weakness his ability to shoot the? Basketball pretty? Good,
YEAH i mean we we are.

Speaker 12 (02:15:36):
Guys it took eight years to give back, here but
we are back in a spot where all three teams
in town are championship.

Speaker 1 (02:15:43):
Contenders all, Right, Gordy let's go back to the beginning
of the season real, quick and The texans, season rocket
season spring training last, fall and now go to next
the beginning Of. November. Rockets all those in, mind who's
closest to a? Championship? Now Knowing durance on the, team

(02:16:06):
now who's? CLOSEST i think WHAT i love about what
we've seen with THE. Nba now is this whole dynasty.
THING i think is kind of it's have to. Win
anybody can win any you, Know milwaukee jumped up in won.
One we've Seen okac has jumped up in won. ONE
i think the door is open in THE nba For.
Rockets if they can stay, healthy they can make a

(02:16:27):
run and win this. Thing it's just it's seven game. Series,
Man it's. Hard anything could. Happen so but they've closed
that gap immensely and literally. Overnight feel, Like, wow the
two years ago they won twenty some.

Speaker 12 (02:16:40):
Games The texans come out of halftime and they score
on The Kansas City chiefs and going they might do,
this and then they. DON'T i just feel like for a,
franchise it has never been in AN afc title. GAME
i can't say they're closest because they've never even been
to AN afc title.

Speaker 1 (02:16:53):
Game the gauntlet in THE afc is pretty difficult quarterback
wise to get. THROUGH i though you've got a good win.

Speaker 12 (02:16:57):
YOURSELF i might still Lean astros because of the the
front end Of Frober valdez And Hunter. Brown if they
get the pitching staff, healthy If jordon gets back healthy the.

Speaker 1 (02:17:06):
Pedigree they've done.

Speaker 2 (02:17:07):
It but you know it.

Speaker 1 (02:17:08):
Now, yeah at the beginning of the, year knowing all
these injuries and, right and you probably would have thought, different, Correct, yeah,
YEAH i mean win the. Division, Right, yeah there you.

Speaker 3 (02:17:19):
Go got a good one for three against The, phillies
got a good one against The cubs over the. Weekend
i've got to believe it's prime conditions for Carbok crawford.

Speaker 12 (02:17:28):
Bock, yeah oh, yeah you'll be out there at the
ballpark tonight enjoying The crawford from our friends at Car
back browing dollar dog night right out there On thursday nights.
Ballpark so that means a couple of weeks, ago have
an Extra crawford bock on, Me not on me, figuratively
but you, know if you're having a taking up on,
it you're saving a couple of. Bucks so why not
go get an Extra crawford bock goes perfectly With astro's.

(02:17:50):
Baseball he got them all Over dyke And park there
on the. Concourse grab Your Crawford bok pairs perfectly With astro's.
Baseball whether you're at, home whether you're at the, ballpark
wherever you are doing what you do drinkers, possibly but
enjoy A Crawford bach From Carbock brewing and enjoy The
astros hopefully getting no victory against The.

Speaker 1 (02:18:05):
Phillies for.

Speaker 3 (02:18:06):
Sure we will go to you the best. Man we'll
catch up with you Every tuesday And. Thursday right, Here
Cursy Carboch. Brewing all, right coming up, next let's get
The philly side of. Things good Buddy John kincaid from
ninety seven to five to The fanatic up there In.
Philly he's gonna join us right. Here Sports talk seven
to Ninety the seven ninety listener line here in the
nine o'clock hour is presented by one eight hundred car

(02:18:26):
cashlet's the help of me And shaan's good Buddy John
kincaid from ninety seven to Five The fanatic you hear
in morning six to ten up there In, philly And,
johnny it's great to talk with you. AGAIN i know
you always look forward to being able to talk to Your.
Phills are they playing their best baseball right now coming
into this.

Speaker 8 (02:18:45):
Series, yeah that's after they went on a one to
nine losing streak where they were playing their worst baseball
in three, Seasons so you don't really know what's going,
on and it's where The, braves The, mets and The
phillies in The National League east have all had a
one and nine, streak where The mets are currently on
one right. NOW i, mean it's just. Weird it's been really,
erratic but The phillies are a, really really good club

(02:19:08):
rolling Into houston tonight feeling pretty good about.

Speaker 1 (02:19:10):
It, Hey, john you, know the swagger has been a
big part of me from a distance watching. Them you,
know it almost feels, like no matter where you are
in a game over the last three or so, years
it just feels like they always think they're gonna. Win
does it still? Exist is a swagger the, same, bigger,
smaller or somewhere in.

Speaker 8 (02:19:26):
Between well somewhere in between right, Now, sean because the
fact that you won't Face Bryce harper in this, series
right you, know With Bryce harper on the, shelf it
truly changes the dimension of this. Team they're not as.
Dangerous even though what's really strange, is Since harper's become
A philly we were doing it this, morning The phillies
actually have a slightly better winning percentage when he's been,

(02:19:47):
out which doesn't make any sense at all because the
lineup is just a little softer when you don't Have
Bryce harper in. It and they expect him to be back,
soon but he won't be back for This houston. Series
we could use them going up against That houston pitching
staff because right, now This phillies lineup has been very
Very they've been very dedicated this year to seeing more,

(02:20:10):
pitches being more selective at the, plate not striking out as,
much and that's going to be essential Against disastro's.

Speaker 1 (02:20:16):
Pitching and in truth and the same thing here inconsistent offense, Here,
john as you well, know FOR i mean, moments but
they haven't sustained that domination at the. Plate but the
one thing that both teams have in, common you roll
out some frontlines starting pitching in the bullpen here's been
as good as there's. Been these are two pitching staffs
that very well could be pitching in The World.

Speaker 8 (02:20:36):
Series you, know we talked about this morning AND i
don't think you guys AND i do not know this
BECAUSE i. DON'T i don't Bug dan with. It you
just don't have the gambling, apps do.

Speaker 2 (02:20:45):
You we do.

Speaker 1 (02:20:46):
Not we do have The we do have THE i.
Do it's called The calshi app which is it's a
futures and. Prediction it's not the BEST i CAN i
can go on in all fifty. States that is legal
in all fifty. States that tells, you, so, YES i
can still AND i do make futures predictions and put

(02:21:08):
your money where your mouth, is so you still have.
It you just don't have that. Legal you, know you
can't put a DraftKings brick and mortar place, here but you.

Speaker 8 (02:21:16):
Can yes, SEE i can bet like two hundred and
seventy three. WAYS i can bet tonight's game between the
Right i'm jealous ill and The. Unders i'll tell, you
The unders look delightful for this, series the pitching matchups and,
everything and you can bet the over unders and the
strikeouts and. Everything you're Gonna you're in for a treat

(02:21:36):
tonight because, WELL i, mean we, know we know what
we're getting ready to face with The astros. Staff But Ranger,
suarez he has been a man on a mission.

Speaker 11 (02:21:45):
And he has been.

Speaker 8 (02:21:47):
Unbolievable he had one bumpy out and coming off the you,
know he was injured in the beginning of the. Year
he has been outrageous for The phillies and he's a
guy who will be a free agent at the end
of the, year so he's pitching for his next. Contract
he has been, unbelievable so tonight.

Speaker 1 (02:22:05):
Is going to be. Great great.

Speaker 3 (02:22:06):
Theater john Kie kate again join us from the ninety
The Fanatic Morning show up there In philly and the
bullpen a little bit of issues early on in the.
Season has that group kind of started to level?

Speaker 8 (02:22:21):
Off, yeah they're, arsonists is what they. Are, Dan i'm
going to be polite if you, guys, look if these
games go if these games go tight late and The
phillies don't have a, lead The phillies with a lead
have been really really good when they lead after, eight
when they, lead when they lead after when they're leading
going into the, ninth they are perfect. Record they haven't

(02:22:42):
lost a. Game when they lead going into the, eighth
they only have lost one, Game so they're doing great with.
That it's getting past the sixth, inning seventh, inning that's
where The bermuda triangle, is if that still. Exists this
team has been atrocious at that. Point the bullpen is really.

Speaker 1 (02:22:59):
Weak they have to be.

Speaker 8 (02:23:00):
Shopping they need at least two arms in their bullpen
to go out and get so that's what The astros
need to.

Speaker 1 (02:23:07):
Do they need to be.

Speaker 8 (02:23:09):
Selective they need to push these starting pitchers out in
like after five or after. Six they can't let The
phillies starting pitching go late because if they can go
later into the game and where you're only asking The
phillies bullpen to get them six to seven. Outs that's
where The phillies have found a real good equation to
have one of the best records in.

Speaker 1 (02:23:27):
Baseball, Hey, johnny DO i deduct in with a Healthy
harper and the great pitching staff and the Way suarez is,
going but the bullpen that you don't think they're A
World series team as we sit.

Speaker 8 (02:23:40):
Today they are not A World series team as they sit.
Today they absolutely, aren't and they're A they're a playoff.

Speaker 5 (02:23:49):
Team.

Speaker 8 (02:23:50):
ABSOLUTELY i think they'll win the. Division they're a team
that will probably you, know if they had to play
in the wildcard, round they would win. It BUT i
wouldn't even pick them right now for THE nlcs guaranteed
until they fix those little. Problems they need a right
handed bat, too AND i don't think they need an expensive.
One they just need a right handed bat with some
popping AND i think they will go out and get

(02:24:11):
a bat like, that a cheap. Bat you, know last,
year not even a top ten prospect was moved at
the trade deadline Across Major League. Baseball SO i do
think they will go out and they will. Move they'll
move some. Prospects they've done well with their minor league
system to get some talent in. There they'll make some.
Moves but The phillies need to improve a few. Things
but they're one of the best teams in. Baseball they're

(02:24:31):
on track for ninety six. WINS i mean it's this
is a really good, team BUT i don't believe they've
got enough sean to be able to go win AN,
nlds win AN, nlcs win A World. Series right, now
they have to win those three games against three great
teams that you would have to. Beat they need some more.
Reinforcements they're right there to be able to get it, done,

(02:24:52):
THOUGH i just need to See Dave dombrowski do. It
go out and shop for me to be a believer
in them to be able to get that.

Speaker 3 (02:24:57):
Done john let's get you out with a quick football.
One The texans AD. Cj Gardner. Johnson over the, OFFSEASON
i know that you were a pretty big fan of
his when he was up there In. Philly what type
of players?

Speaker 8 (02:25:09):
Here he's a, champion he's just lost his mind now
that he's gone To.

Speaker 3 (02:25:12):
Houston, WELL i, mean you, know, look, yeah sometimes it,
HAPPENS i, guess but just the type of. Player what
Can texans fans expect from him on the?

Speaker 8 (02:25:21):
Field, okay he Is he's loved. Here we absolutely LOVE.
Cj his two seasons he played, here we went to
The Super bowl both. Years you know that he played
here and then he. Left but there's a reason THAT.
Cj Gardner johnson has played for five teams in five.
Years there's a reason he wears his welcome. Out he's

(02:25:42):
a bit. Temperamental he's a bit of a sulker at
times with. THINGS i think he's his own worst enemy
kind of. Guy but his talent is. Unmistakable last, year
he was their worst player on defense Into november and
then he was arguably one of their best player on
Defense November, december and in the postseason he was.

Speaker 1 (02:26:04):
Fantastic, hey, John so he can be a, Erratic, YEAH
i didn't mean to interrupt you real quick for. That
along along with that is he pull enough weight swagger,
enough big enough to waltz into a team that's got
great you, know chemistry and culture and all that we
hear like you guys did In philly to where the
players complete. It can he make AN i?

Speaker 3 (02:26:26):
Know?

Speaker 1 (02:26:26):
Good but on the negative, side is he powerful enough
to come in there and if he's going through a
powding stage to affect a locker room or is he
not that?

Speaker 8 (02:26:33):
Big, Oh, SEAN i do not think he's going to
be a negative influence on your.

Speaker 1 (02:26:37):
Team.

Speaker 8 (02:26:38):
GREAT i do not think that at. All AND i
don't think. THAT i think you have a head coach,
who by the, way we also love here In. PHILADELPHIA
i do not believe you have a head coach there that.

Speaker 1 (02:26:48):
Is going to let that.

Speaker 8 (02:26:49):
Happen AND i don't think that he is the kind
of player that drags down a locker. Room he was
a popular.

Speaker 1 (02:26:54):
Player so he's going to enhance this, team is what you're.
Saying for a little.

Speaker 8 (02:26:59):
While he's gonna enhance your. Swagger but the thing is
he's a bit a bit about, himself and he got
he got upset That the first thing of this off
season was that The eagles went out and gave gave
money To Saquon. Barkley they they Renegotiated Saquon barkley's.

Speaker 1 (02:27:19):
Deal and what did he.

Speaker 8 (02:27:21):
Do he went to social media and was like pouting about,
it you. Know and and, look there was no Question
Saquon barkley was one of the biggest reasons The eagles
had their dominant. Season he should have been the first
guy they went. To and the minute that he went
and groused about that in, public it just. Negativity PLUS
i can't really tell you what was on his sweatshirt
at the, parade but let's just say he was very

(02:27:44):
immature at the. Parade his The Super, BOWL i can
just put it to you was L I x you
know if you're using The roman. Numerals and he had
had the and he had the public feud with The. Swifties,
okay So i'm gonna piece this together for. You his
wet shirt said that The swifties could the room and numerals.

(02:28:04):
Something oh, Gotcha and SO i will leave it at,
that and they made and The eagles made him take
it off at the.

Speaker 1 (02:28:10):
Parade there you.

Speaker 8 (02:28:11):
Go so he actually he has the immaturity of a,
teenager but he has the talent of a. Difference, maker
and he absolutely makes The Houston texans better And philadelphia loves.

Speaker 1 (02:28:23):
Him we love him.

Speaker 8 (02:28:24):
Here he will always be loved. Here people will always
think of him as a champion as they should and
a difference. Maker AND i think you guys are going
to love him.

Speaker 1 (02:28:32):
Too awesome he.

Speaker 3 (02:28:33):
Had a difference maker part would absolutely be, nice especially
with what the team is trying to. Do and they
already have a damn good young secondary, anyway for, sure for,
sure and he'll.

Speaker 8 (02:28:43):
Fit he's not gonna BE i can promise you. This
he is not going to be a. Problem he wasn't
a problem in That eagles locker room in twenty two
or twenty. Four he was never a. Problem he was
never an. Issue he didn't cause. Problems so don't worry
about that becoming a storyline In.

Speaker 1 (02:28:58):
Houston awesome for. Sure again from, Nice well, brother we
miss you. Man good to hear from. Here thanks there and.

Speaker 3 (02:29:07):
Give chris and live my. BEST i will all, right see, you,
Buddy John ki kay again morning. Dude you can't get
me enough to sing enough praises about that. Guy so
we're a guy who's got fight in. Him, yeah when
it comes to doing it the right. Way and fight
and battle and a positive influence and. Upbeat John kincaid's
at the top of that, lost.

Speaker 1 (02:29:28):
No doubt about.

Speaker 3 (02:29:29):
It so one thing though that he did mention there
that we can close on here on This tuesday edition
That Sean Salisbury show will do. That it is A
tuesday edition right Here Sports talk seven.

Speaker 6 (02:29:39):
Ninety we want to, Win Sean salisbury continues on seven.

Speaker 1 (02:29:45):
Ninety Advantage.

Speaker 3 (02:29:46):
Astros if that's the, case you Get Ranger suarez out
after the sixth inning tonight and it's a tie ball
game too, Too you feel good about that spot because,
again how The astros have been in one run, games
but also how they've pitched in those.

Speaker 1 (02:30:00):
Situations think about the. Similarities both teams have. Swagger your
big star left handed power bats out one of, Them
jordan And. Harper, Harper you've got frontline pitching that can beat.
Anybody both they're being more selective at the, plate which
Is paina And, myers two guys that are having career

(02:30:21):
years and the. Advantage so when you start to look
at both sides of, it now you look at and
then they're probably a little more veteran in certain positions
than The astros. Are with the you, know the rookie right.
Fielder but then you start to take into account where
another part of the. Matter if you get to the starting,
pitching heavy Advantage astros in the. Bullpen so while we

(02:30:45):
in the Way philly's playing right, now they're feeling, it
but there's a lot of. Similarities but the big the
gap is when you get to the. Bullpen if you
can get to their starting pitching early and send a
message right off the bat and get, it get a,
lead and get to the, bullpen it's a vantage for The.
Astros and all.

Speaker 3 (02:31:01):
Three of these games we do this solid time pretender's?
Contenders is this kind of one of those scenarios with
this six game stretch that you've got.

Speaker 1 (02:31:07):
That you're going to find out IF i already know
they are pretenders pitching's too. Good if they go two and,
four DO i still think they're a? CONTENDER i absolutely.
Do if they go six and, oh DO i think they're?
CONTENDER i absolutely. Do if they were shut out and
got swept in both, series DO i think they're a?
CONTENDER i absolutely. Do but how they lose would have

(02:31:29):
lost those games is What i'd have to, see, Sure
BUT i think both of. Them pretender means to me
that you're all window dressing in your not there's no.
Substance contender means to, me you're a contender to go
the whole, way But i'm not crowning you champ yet
that there's still a lot to. Do contender for. BOTH
i think it sends a message of to just where

(02:31:50):
you are in that halfway through the. Season BUT i
can tell you, this no matter what happens in these
two in this, series especially In philadelphia speaking to them
since there, first we'll get To chicago. Later regardless of
what happens in these three, games neither team is going,
Away and all you have to do is look at the,
frontline starting pitching and the bullpen for The astros to understand.

Speaker 3 (02:32:11):
Why and the pitching is a huge reason why you
feel that. Way so hopefully The astros can continue to
have that work in their. Favor Brandon real Quick.

Speaker 2 (02:32:20):
Man.

Speaker 9 (02:32:22):
Good.

Speaker 1 (02:32:23):
