Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Salsbury.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Okay, let's do this, Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
To usc true longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Dan Matthews. This is the Sean Salisbury show.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Nice hand for Alex Bregman and his return to dyke
In Park as a visitor tips his helmet to the crowd,
now wives his left hand at the crowd won't played,
umpire Junior Valentine giving Gregman some time to be acknowledged.
Here here's the one one breaking ball and that's whacked

(00:43):
deep to left field, and you can kiss that one
goodbye into the Landry's Crawford boxes for Alex Bregman, a
two run homer and the Red Sox have a two
to nothing lead on Bregman's fifteenth long ball of the
season at a standing ovation for Correa. This picture shown
on the video board with the message welcome home the

(01:06):
one ral ballbro the right side of Pasis that'll score spent.
Paynia stops at second, Carlos Correa drives in the run
and the Astros are on the board. It's two to
one Boston two two and Walker drives this one the
left center field, freezing back on it as Raphael and
he won't get there then one hops off the wall,
scoring is Paynya Correa right behind him the throat of

(01:27):
the plate not nearly in time. A two run double
for Christian Walker and the Astros lead it three to two.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
First pitch to McCormick, oh Ash frills this.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
One detail left center failed and you can't guess it.
Goodbye off the community's leader. Signed Chazz. His first harbor
of the year is a two run shot and the
Astros lead it five to two. Here's a three two
to Anthony and that's lifted to center fairly deep. It
sends back. McCormick still going back and he makes the
catch and then bangs into the wall. Ball are barely

(02:00):
able to hold that deep drive from Anthony and Christian
Javier finishes five innings. What oh oh is hammers one
day to left fell then you can't guess that. Goodbye
on off the community. Later side, ramon Arius' first home run
as an Astros a two run blast, and it's seven

(02:20):
to two Houston. Here's the one two to Anthony swaying.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
And a ass struck it out on a slider away.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
And fast the ball game, Baby Susan.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
The Houston Astros take Game one of this three game
series from the Boston Red Sox seven to six. The final,
they got hairy late, but the Astros able to hold
on for their fifth win in their last seven games.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
No problem.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, there you go, bagging and Robert Ford filling you
in on the rest of the details. A little bit
of a longer open than usual, Sean, but clearly last
night a lot to be able to squeeze in with that,
we say, away we go, good morning here Sean Salisbury's show.
Fun atmosphere in the building. I was there until about
the top of the fourth and then that's when I

(03:08):
pulled the shoot, went back to the house to get
set up for the tenth inning show, which, by the way,
I'll be on deck and tent thinning again tonight.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Look at you. Yeah, you know, double duty. Good good
series to be double duty.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
I was gonna say, And this is one that the Astros,
I mean, I'll tell you what, for all of the
things that have gone bad over the last month and
a half, didn't it feel like had they given up
that seven to two lead last night and had they
lost that, it's like maybe this is just not in
the cards this year for this team.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
And now I think they didn't give up the lead.
They staved them off. And now you're thinking, maybe it
isn't the cards just like that, But it's kind of
the season, isn't it. You got the lead, put some
runs up, Javier starts out and you go, you know,
base hit, homer walk and you're like, what's going on here?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Flashbacks Darraghetti.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
You know, he's like, oh god, this is going to
be that welcome back right yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
And then you know Crochet on the other side when
he through ninety nine the Korea's first time with the
blag First of all, good on the fans, not only
with just Korea stuff. It was felt. It was a
good feel watching on TV. Who that good with the
Bregman thing to both of them, and both deserved it,
there's no question. And well Bragman welcomed back with that

(04:28):
blast into the car where I was sitting there and
I said, you know, watch him go upper tank. And
I'll be dad. You know you used to throw that
out there. You can throw it out there a million times.
The one time it hits you thinking, well I got
it right, But I'll just saying I did say it
out last said watch him go upper tank right here,
boom pumps it into the Crawford box. You're like, oh, welcome,
welcome back to what you do. But the fans handled
he and Karay great and rightfully so. But when he

(04:50):
when Crochet pumped ninety nine on him and he got
caught and Kara knew he you know, got caught looking
at because Crochet is nasty and and he sorry he
would immediately started. It was like a walk off Putt.
You started walking the doug at, You're like, oh, it's
Crochet gonna be in one of those days where you're like,
you're gonna have to screepe it, you know, big borrow,
cheat and steel to scrap out a run or two.
Well they got to him. But then the hobby Air thing,

(05:12):
and you know what, Hoaveyer settled in and gave you
kind of what you'd expect, maybe even more of the
five innings, maybe even more, I think, especially after the
start that you thought you would get from him in
his first start. So I was I don't know if
impressed is right, but so encouraged by what he was
doing on both of those. There's no question, There's absolutely

(05:34):
no question. And then the astros resilience again, and this
is kind of what this is what it's going to
be like, Dan, You're gonna have to win some seven
to six ers. You're gonna have to you know. And
then the Red Sox are a resilient team too. They
know how to put the bat on the ball. That's
why they're in the hunt to try and find themselves
a wild Cards. Gonna be a hell of a run.
But you can look at it two ways, like how

(05:55):
dare them give up the lead? Or great job? After
they gave up at least stake, they crept back into
it of finding a way to close it out and
finishing it off. So it was, you know, and Hector
and airas his ten years last night, which is they
were talking on the broadcast about getting through the you know,
all the different changes pictures have been through and last

(06:18):
and ten years as a starting pitcher, and the celebration
all that they're doing and all of a sudden that
he goes through his struggles and he's been really good here,
you know, in his career back you know, back and
forth here. But there's a lot of cool sidebars in
the game. But the main thing is that when challenged,
they were still able to fight it off. But that's
what it's going to look like this year, and it

(06:39):
is the Red Sox. You didn't do that to the
Colorado Rockies. It was Red Sox and they're pretty damn good.
And the guy they threw out there when you talk
Scooble fromber This dude's in that class when it comes
to dominant left handers, especially when they're going good and
you know, can pump it up around one hundred miles
an hour and hitting ninety nine. It was I liked it.
There was a lot of different things that went on,

(07:00):
and it was great to see, you know, Chaz and
Urius get into the act too with some long ball.
So a lot of things that went on and some
some timely hitting and then you know, your bullpen was
able to Patty Sans Hector and Airos who just didn't
have his best stuff. But it was impressed with Javier

(07:20):
and the grind just and them to let him fight through,
you know, because I guarantee most people, I know, I
guarantee most What's that after the first three hitters in
the top of the first they're like, this is gonna
be a long night and he may not last through
three innings, but he's He's what a great addition he's
going to end up being getting back here healthy.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
And it turns out that it was really good that
he went to five innings because then we find out
after the game, Josh hater the shoulder discomfort, you didn't
have a bray you, you didn't have Brian King. Nope,
so you didn't have three of your you know, biggest
high leverage guys right there. And it's so funny too,
is I'm listening to Joe a spot in the post
game they asked him about how unnerving those lives couple

(08:00):
of innings were.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
He goes, oh, man, I actually it was kind of fun.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
And I'm like fun, So Joe's like me a glutton
for I was gonna say, yeah, yeah, both of you
guys want to jump out of perfectly good airplanes with
a shoot on your back.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
I have done that, by the way, and from fifteen
thousand feet. And I was up there wondering why am
I jumping out of an airplane? Well, because my pops
did for as an eighty second airborne in the Army guy.
And I I'm with you now. I usually like when
I'm not the one involved. Sure that glutton for punishment game.
When I'm involved, I want to kick your ass by

(08:34):
twenty so we can start thinking about where we're having
postgame dinner after ward. We've hung fifteen runs on a team. Yes,
But I think like him, I was like, Okay, they
inched their way back, and I'm like, okay, it's odd.
So I would imagine Joe that that's But I also
think that's the the mentality and athletes, those elite guys

(08:57):
like that and manager that. I think that's the mentality
that puts them in a position to do what they do.
If you're always one of those guys that can only
operate in or likes playing in blowouts or games that
are easy, hell, you don't know what it's like to
do it when it's hard, so you'll never get where
you want to go. But most players I know are
like okay, you know. Some don't want any part of
the pressure in any sport. There's like I just didn't

(09:19):
stay away from that. But some embrace it. And you
can't tell me Bregman doesn't like a seven to six game.
You can't tell me that Carlos Korea doesn't want the
bat in his hand at that time. Ra Al tuve.
You can't tell me that the good ones don't want
to roll out to the mountains out let me get
some of this, right, I can guarantee, hater k they're

(09:41):
probably like, man, do I wish I was doing my
thing tonight and a spot. It's just that's kind of cool.
Plus it keeps you engaged all the time. Now as
a fan in media, we're sitting back, like, one more
swing of the bat and it's eight to seven, and
now it's not. It was fun for a while until
you didn't close it out. It's Boston loves the game.

(10:01):
But right now they wake up today saying, man, we
just needed one more clutch hit or one more base hit,
or one more swing. So I liked it. And that's
one of those even though you got to get up earlier,
what have you that you say, I can't miss this
right because it's it's it's it's too good right now.
So they it had a lot last night. But the
you know, it's crazy. They were going through all the

(10:22):
celebration and stuff with the introductions of Bregman and Kerrey
and stuff, and you said to say, oh, by the way,
the guy who's taking them out, we haven't seed him
in ages. I mean it was like away.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Yeah, it was like a subplot almost like where it
was just it should be the storyline of the game,
but it's like at ninety nine point nine percent of
the time would have been yet he was like the
third storyline.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Even Hector Nerris got a little bit more love because
of his year. Yeah, tough to do starting pitch all
that he started, you know, done things pitched through this
era of ten years, should I say? And as a
major league pitcher, hard to do, and different changes in
the way the games and oh yeah it's the top
of the first that guy of the round. You haven't

(11:07):
seen him in fifteen years, you know, joking around us.
It felt like it's been so long. So yeah, it
had a lot of it. But the end result, when
the scene's over, you're not gonna you'll look back and
say huge win. But you won't look back and say, oh,
it was only by one. You'll take him any damn
way you can get him, Bud.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
You and I both know that now for sure, And
especially I mean where you stand in the standings right now.
You're now a game in front of the Mariners and
they start up a three game series, with the Orioles
up in Baltimore.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
And the Rangers won last night, so they kept at
least pace.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Right, and I mean they get swept over the weekend
by the Phillies, so they drop back a little bit.
With you being able to take two out of three
there in New York. So that's good. But I mean
the moral of the story is it's pretty simple. Just win.
I mean, that's it's really that simple. And I know
that that's not necessarily something that is a hot enough take,
but it's just the truth. Just win ball games. When

(11:59):
you win ball games, everything else doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Dan. If they win the majority of their series coming
back here this last I mean when I say coming back,
getting these players back healthy whenever, that is, if this
is what you got, even then you still gotta win.
If they win their series, let's say they win eighty
percent of their series from here on end, they're gonna

(12:21):
win the division because that would mean if they don't,
the teams like the Rangers and they and the Mariners
would have to win like ninety percent of their series.
That's hard to do. So what forty low forties games,
mid forties left? What's that?

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Dan?

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Three twelve and three is what twelve to thirty six,
So that's maybe fifteen nineteen. Okay, so we got like
fifteen series left. Yeah, maybe something that's forty five, and
that's right around right around there. I don't even know
the Lasco but right around there. You win eleven of
those series and don't get swept in any of them

(12:56):
on the ones you lose, Yeah, you got a pretty
good chance. Now, I don't the metrics in front of
me because you say, we'll sean what if they win thirteen,
It's that that's a hard test to win that many.
If they do that, like you said, you don't have
to worry about the guys behind you. Remember they're the
ones that they're chasing you. Even though it's it's really close.
The bottom line is if you win, you don't have

(13:18):
to worry about anybody else. And you're gonna go through
times where you're gonna lose two of a three game series.
But if you win the majority of your series, you'll
either be in position or you will win it. Because
that's asking a lot of the other guys, especially a
team like the Rangers who are further back the I'm
sure the Mariner's saying everything else if we just win
our series, that will catch the Astros because they're doing everything.

(13:39):
They cannot to want to trust the Astros. I'm sure
that the Astros are better than them. They think they're
better than this team is. And here we think we'll
get help, right, and they're damn right they should. And
they're pitching staff, as Steve said, yes today, Steve sparks,
they're the deepest in the division. Maybe every top heavy,
there's some good ones. As far as depth goes, that's
the best pitching staff. So you're gonna have to overcome

(13:59):
a lot. And cal rob he's an MVP cann he's
played his ass off, so it's gonna be fun. But
you're right, just win, And it's so cliche and so well,
the easier said than done. Just you take care of
your business. You don't have to worry about anybody else's business,
and then you can cash out for that, you know,
get the equity percentage that you put into it, and
you can get that that those that ROI back and

(14:19):
that ri I would be winning a division with a
chance to move forward.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
All's well, that ends well, and that is how it
finishes up. Last night, Stros hold on and beat the
Red Sox seven to six. We'll talk that also to
a little bit of Texans news that came down, and
we will talk about that too as the show goes long.
You want to hop aboard seven one three two one
two five seven ninety against someone three two on two
five seven ninety. But Sean, something you mentioned here in

(14:44):
this segment that I do think we can expand upon,
and we will do that as we're just getting going here.
Tuesday edition, Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talks seven ninety.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
Let the celebration start, or Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk
seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Bregman, Altuve, Bray.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
You just get any of the names that are part
of this series but also that are part of contending
teams out there. And as soon as you were rattling
off those names, Sean, the topic immediately popped into my
head because last night, with all the pomp and circumstance,
you can kind of understand it. There's still love for
Alex Bregman, and of course there's absolute love for Carlos

(15:25):
Korea with them being back here. That was a postseason
atmosphere last night in that building. And again, oh yeah,
I was there for the beginning part of it, but
it was, if nothing else, a reminder to everybody now
you're in it, like this is what this is. And
I think that probably the last few years of just

(15:47):
getting enough of a hint of maybe being on the
outside looking in when it comes to the postseason, when
you factor in you have not missed the postseason since
twenty seventeen. That scares people enough to pay attention this
time of the year because in previous years, Shawn, numerous
times we could see this Astros team, they've got a
what you know, ten fifteen game lead. At this point

(16:09):
you're just kind of like, okay, cool, let me know
when we gets October.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
But the last couple of years.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
I think I've made Astros fans even hungrier of saying,
oh wait, yeah, I mean, it's cool what they're doing
over there with the Texans and all that, but I
need to really pay attention right now.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, think about the fragility of this situation. Here's a
team that won, you're another injury away from like oh
here we go again, and hearing the Josh Haders. Now
maybe a day, it may be a week, I don't know,
but I got news for you. I always go in like, oh, no. Now,

(16:43):
especially when it's the word discomfort.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
I was gonna say, yeah, don't like it, but it's
comfort usually means a month.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Right now, I guess in this day, discomfort in the
shoulder used to mean rotator cuff. That was that used
to be years and years ago. That was, oh man,
you got a rotator cuff. Then it became the use
he had the Tommy John stuff. Right, at least we're
talking if there's anything, I'm trying to gather some positivity,
right sure, at least we're talking shoulder. Hopefully it's just

(17:10):
tightness and it's not. If they said elbow discomfort, wouldn't
you be concerned. I was gonna say elbow and fore arm.
I'd be like, forearm or elbow, you'd be a little nervous. Right,
But the shoulder is you know, it feels like that's
not that that it feels like that now, who knows. Hell,
if it's a total if it was something torn, it's torn.
But if it's just discomfort, I'd rather have it there.
It's just like if you told me, Sean, would you

(17:31):
rather have a knee or an achilles? Give me the knee. Okay,
you know what I'm saying the Achilles is a little
a little bit much. So regardless, this hope is not serious.
But the fragility of the situation is this. You were
in first place by I think the biggest lead they
got to was seven and a half or eight games.
This year, I think between seven and eight, as it

(17:51):
was pretty much the unverse of last year. Right yeah, okay,
so you get that and then you blink and it's
it's it's the inside a game. You know what I'm saying.
It was it got down to a half game, right,
oh yeah, and so that's right. So how quickly that changed? Now,
think about the fragility. You go from leading the division
and quite frankly, at one point in time were the

(18:13):
best or tied for the best record just behind Toronto,
or got to the point where you're tied for the
best record in the American League. Right around the All
Star break, you blink and played poor baseball for two weeks.
That's why you talk about staying engaged, and I like
when players have to stay a little bit on edge. Right,
We've talked about this, Although we'd all love the relaxation

(18:35):
of Okay, they got a ten game lead, we're good,
But the fragility of you can blink and not only
are you down on the division, you're out of the
wild card race. Those names include Yankees, Red Sox, Rangers, Mariners,
so you can like, hey man, it's good, what just

(18:56):
happened that. That's why when you talk about well do
we want to from or missis start? You'd like that
to got to do?

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Well?

Speaker 1 (19:04):
What about how much your career play every MF and day.
That's how much he needs to play. What's he on
a nine or ten game streak? Now hitting streak again?
I saw nine last night, right, So my point is
that you want to continue to grind. But that's how
in the fan, that's how fragile it is. It's like
last night, things change hands. If you don't stave that

(19:29):
that rally off by the Red Sox so well, I
like it, and the glutton for punishment. Just think how
quickly and fragile. So there's no or a gart you
ain't no guaranteed. Mean they're not saying it, but we
could say get healthy, and I'd love to see what
that looks like. But there's no guarantee. They're making the
playoffs from a division lead that could pushed around seven
to eight games, and that was Dan less than a

(19:51):
month ago. That was around a month ago. They're a
little less. Yeah, what was it five or six in
the All Star Games? Somewhere around there.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
I mean, you know, coming out of LA I think
it was probably like what five or six, right, and
it was you were feeling good.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
And here you here you are. So we went from
all a couple series and look at now you're down
to from a series to a game. So there's some
staving off to do, there is no doubt. But that
being said, that's also the beauty in it because this
team of all of them has their resilience has been

(20:25):
tested plenty of times. They know how to deal with it.
Now it's gonna be up to them whether they can
or not. And getting healthy. But the truth is, I'm
tired of talking about getting healthy. I just want to
I just want them to deal. I coach and play
the players that are actually here playing and if the
guys come back, great. If they don't, then now you

(20:46):
think about this as a player, wouldn't you take great
pride day you want everybody back. Don't don't misunderstand me,
but would you not take phenomenal pride? If you're a player,
and if you lose your best player and he doesn't
come back and you're able to still go do this thing,
that's like, you know what, why you want him back?

Speaker 2 (21:04):
But you know what, the truth matters. As we speak.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
When Chas McCormick's walking to the batter's box, right, just
Chas McCormick's walking the batter's box, you think he's thinking, Man,
this should be Jordne instead of me. Absolutely not. He's
not now in between somebody. Hell yeah, you want that
guy back, sitting there in the middle line of him.
But if you're one of the other guys, you know what,
you're saying, opportunity for me to do it, because if
you're not, they won't win. That's a big reason why

(21:28):
they're not. They're like, Okay, I got a opportunity to
let me make the most of it. If you're sitting
on your hands, sitting back saying if you're Joe A
Spot or Dana Brown or any of the players saying, man,
can't wait, Man, we're gonna get we get Arrogatty back now,
Hobby Air's back. Man can't wait till Jake Myers and
then man Jordane'll be here with them. Man, we got
a real chance without them. If you're focused on them,

(21:49):
you can't focus on your job. You can't do it
my whole thing. And if I'm Joe Spot, I'm coaching
or managing the people that are here, they can say
whatever they want as a medical team. When he's here
sitting in the batter's box, the big left hander, we'll
deal with that then. Until then, I got to assume
as a player that if we're going to get to November,
late October November, it's without him. Now that's a lot

(22:10):
of hyperbole, but judging from the way the season's gone,
maybe it's not. So I personally on a team and
in the football world, I can promise you I'm already
telling you what they're going to tell you. I'll never
forget when Dick vermeial, when Kurt Warner took over and
I was at the guy I told you that I
was at the preseason game that Trent Green got hurt

(22:30):
by Rodney Harrison. He had like twenty eight to thirty
two in the preseason was smoked. They everybody had high
high hopes he gets hurt in the preseason game. Dude,
the building. I was there getting ready to do a
feature for ESPN on I think the receiving cores. I'm
telling you now that you were a library girl. There
was not a sound. Everybody's afraid to death. I talked

(22:52):
to Mike Martz the next day. They're coordinating, and then
he was talking about Goeshan, we're going to play this
Kurt Warner guy. He called the Kurt Warner guy. We'll
see how it goes. And at halftime you struggle. And
for al Saanders was there calling playss I mean the
offensive Cordy, but he was the receiver coach. A week
later I called Mike back. He goes Sean, he's pretty good.

(23:14):
Rest is history. My point is that. And Dick Formial said,
we are going to rally around Kurt Warner and Denny Green.
When I was in Minnesot, Jebberty, we're going to coach
the guys that are here. I can't worry about the
other that has It's not insensitive, it's just the mentality
because if you're so worried about what's coming, you don't
get to appreciate and take care of what's here. Sure,

(23:37):
and it's almost a disrespect to the players you have.
If that was your approach, if this team approached it
like that, they'd already be out of it. But they
haven't because you can't overcome fifty injuries. It feels like
what twenty eighteen nineteen at some time and a lot
of significant players say you know what, and then the
loss of a corner infield a corner infielder in the
corner outfielder at the beginning of the year and say, oh,

(23:58):
we're good. But if you do you have to approach
as if I hate to say this, dud because I've
been hurt. Guys will walk right by in the train, Hey,
how you doing, Sean good, but they're worried about their jump.
It's out of side, out of mind, buddy, and they
have It. Sounds insensitive, but you have to approach it
that way, and in truth, you got to. If you
approach it like we ain't getting you it on back

(24:19):
this year, we're just not, then then you'll be okay
when you get in back.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
It's that extra shot of red bull you've been begging for.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
Now.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I know you do. As a manager and a player,
you have a responsibility right now to take care of
your business and it ain't worrying about what time. You
know what time or what day. The next player on
this roster is going to find his way back to health.
That that ain't your gig. You've got to go do it.
And if you're the guy who's got to replace hater
for a minute, then guess what have at it? So

(24:49):
it's got to save last night, right, Yes, well you
may have to do that even more than you've already done.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
After he struggle on sund That's exactly right. It comes
right back.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
So you have to have that mentality insensitive. But you
know what, I don't have time to be sensitive for
people that aren't playing. I got to be sensitive to
those that are and get the most out of them.
Or by the time Jordon gets back, if we don't
whatever that is, you'll be five games out. Your mentality
has to be I don't and this sounds I don't

(25:18):
care when the Ordon's come back as a player. That's
how you have to think in football. If you felt bad,
you moved the drill. I hate to say it when
a guy gets hurt and it's like, man, what a bummer.
We love you, but who's up next? And the guy
up next happens to be Robert Smith. Well, then, god,
we are in pretty good shape. So that's what he's
in last night. A guy two dudes eating one who's

(25:39):
been hurt and struggled the last two years, and Homer's
and then a guy who wasn't even on a roster
until the trade deadline.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Homer's difference in the game last night, now.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
It definitely was and one of the guys that was a,
you know, main driving force to being able to win
that game last night.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Well, he was one of the features.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
We'll talk about him here on the Sean Says Show. Again,
it's a Tuesday, and you can join up someone three
two one two five seven ninety. Again it's someone three
two one two five seven ninety right here. Sports Talk
seven ninety Hey, Men's T Clinic, MEN'ST Clinic dot com. Guys,
when we're talking about any we talk about the energy
in the ballpark. How would you like to have that
energy every day? If you don't have it, then let's

(26:18):
go get it and you really don't have to fight
for it. The key is just getting that ass up
off the couch or from work and telling yourself today's
the day. How about doing the things that you have
to do every day right now, you don't have to
show up at Men's Tea clinic if you don't want
more energy. You don't want to check your testoster and say, Okay,
how am I going to get out of this brain fog.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
I'm a little lethargic. My sex life sucks at home. Uh.
I don't have that full body good feeling that I
had on my weekend warrior stuff.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
I'm just not as sharp. I don't want to show.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Up half the battle showing up and at Men's Tea
clinic as you's got to walk in the building, set
up an appointment going there. They've been doing this eleven years,
which is withstood the test of time. They've been changing lives.
Walk in the building, draw little blood, non invasive. By
the end of the day, heavy results, and then if
it's slow testosterone, you'll know all CAF peace of mind.
That's that we can now take care of that. I

(27:07):
know what the conflict is. I got to now get
the answer to the test, and that's managing it, normalizing it,
and then you get your wellness optimization, full body wellness optimization,
not just sexual which is important. Mom will be happier,
and so will you or not just energy or not
just brain fog. There's a whole litany of things that
you get to take care of, but full body wellness

(27:28):
and wellness optimization should be the focus in twenty twenty
five and beyond. So if you're late to the party,
the party is still going on at Men's TA Clinic,
and that party is normalizing your testosterone so you have
a better life, the one you deserve. Lower gears not
for you. Lower gear is how you start. Twelve cylinders
is how you keep this thing rolling, and it's right there.
Simply got to go there and go in, get started.

(27:51):
Quit waiting because you'll get bypassed. And you do not
want to be that guy that's waited three years that
you could have had a much better time three years before.
Nst clinic dot com. Get out of lower gear. You
deserve it. Let's get that testosteroneormalized wellness optimization at Men's
t Clinic dot com.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
The Sean Salisbury Show continued.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I'm gonna tell you, Dan, you had brought him up
last week about your excitement for him. What it didn't am,
I right? Was last week?

Speaker 7 (28:22):
Right?

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah? And we had had a very significant, I thought
in a conversation about the tight end position.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Not only him as a player, but what he could
have looked like in this offense, assuming it's going to
be a lot of the same principles that well it
is because they ran and the tight end was very heavily,
very heavily used in that offense.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Just hopefully it listened. The verbage isn't going to change
much because remember where Kayley comes from as the same
place that that that Bobby Slowick the same I'm talking
about the same verbage tree that they come from, the
Shanahan McVeigh, Zach Taylor, Kevin O'Connell. There's about eight teams
in this league you can go to and you could

(29:03):
pick right up because the verbage is when when it cut.
I think part of what maybe I'm wrong, but part
of finding a good coach I think also was how
quickly what kind of study can we be? How quick
can we study this offseason, because there are some that
are going to a full new if if you're Liam

(29:23):
Cohen's I'm assuming Liam Cohen in Jacksonville didn't come from
the Andy Reid tree anywhere at anytime. He Liam Cohen,
I think is also a Rams McVeigh guy, so that
must be I don't know if he ever started like
in the Andy Tree where a former West Coast offense.
He's not an old guy, but and he's been back

(29:43):
and forth from Kentucky. So whatever their verbage there is,
I would imagine it's different than Andy's. You know. Then
then then the meaning Doug Peterson, who's an Andy Reid guy.
So you got to go in there and you got
an off season. It's not even just the physical part.
You got to be a quick study. So he hit
the ground run in training camp right with all the
OTAs well. Here, I can't imagine the verbage is one

(30:04):
hundred and eighty degrees different because they both come. You're
you're a product of the coaches you've learned from and
add some of the stuff. But the verbage and the
verbiage is a tough part. Listen, A curl a flat
a curl. A slant is a slant is a slant,
A digs A digs a dig, How you label it
and what you call it. What the numbering system is
if you're a three digit number guy, like the North

(30:24):
Turner system or the Mike Martz system or Andy Reid
who used to be a West Coast John Gruden. That
system or your the red Skin or your you put
it the Redskins had their system at the time, or
you put it all into one like Andy Reid's done,
and you add a little bit of college added and
then you're really there is no one particular system. Well
with this, there'll be quick study this offseason because the

(30:47):
verbage is gonna be the same. And so seeing Brevin Jordan,
that would have been nice coming off his injury so
he could be competitive and Molson people of the line
of scrimmage and Dan what I was going to say
about this. You know how I feel about the time
and position, how important it is and it has to
be more productive. If I'm saying if that injury is significant,
I gotta tell you, I'm calling the Raiders tomorrow if

(31:12):
I find out, and I'm going to find out if
they're willing to part with that that that mayor from
Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
You know how they've got brock bars.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
If you're willing to part with your and you know,
every time I say something, I'm thinking, okay, let's make
sure he didn't get traded already. But you get my
point I'm going I am calling somebody that's got a
guy who can be a Number one but just happens
to be playing behind one of the best in the
league that type, I have to make that call. Now.
I understand you got guys with that position, and you

(31:41):
talked about Kayley. I hopefully the advancement of him making
sure the tight end like a George Kittle, is more
involved than you had with Bobby Slowan. You can't that
that just can't be a disappearing position. That between the
hash marks. You just don't operate the passing game unless
it's a slant to the big fellow right in Nico Collins.

(32:03):
So I'm hoping. But if in fact, and I'm not
saying Brevin Jordan's a dominant tight end, but he's a
good player and you're gonna need that position to be productive.
I don't know what it takes to get somebody like that,
but I honestly, hell, can you imagine if you could
snatch somebody like Pits away from Atlanta who hasn't lived
up to the building, but the great that's not gonna

(32:23):
have you get my point. Sure, if I could get
a guy who you're like, well, remember when they went
out and got Dalton Schultz, what you thought at least
past catching, that's seventy five catches waiting to happen every
year because he was productive in Dallas. He's got to
play better. But if you're trying to block a defensive
end or an outside linebacker and get a reached guess what,
he's not doing that. But if you can get, But

(32:44):
if you're gonna, if you're gonna sacrifice that, you have
to have a guy who catches everything, who's open all
the time. So if I can't get, if I know
that you're not going to dominate the line of scrimmage
blocking for me, at least when you're down that I
don't have to pull you out for a guy comes
into a bigger, a tougher blocker, and we are it's
an in vogue thing to have the pass catching title,

(33:05):
but it's not such a bad thing to have one
who can do both at least be serviceable at the
line of scrimmage as an in line tied end who
can grab and clutch and you can get to the
edge with him blocking. But yeah, if you're gonna if
you're not gonna have that, then you know you need
you need a pass catcher that that oh yeah, that's
eighty that I'll see at the end of the season,
they'll be eighty catchers minimum. And so if this is hurt,

(33:28):
I honestly, depending on how they feel about the guys
that are going in camp, I'm inquiring, I can sure
as he'll tell you that now we may be chasing
a ghost because he may be out two days and
be good to go. But let's hope it's not significant,
because that would sure be a bummer for this team
and for him. But that's a position through training camp,
I would keep my eyes on elsewhere. If somebody gets

(33:49):
hurt that is supposed to log minutes in place for
you this.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
Year, well, I mean it's a position that is the
utmost importance for you, especially when you factor in how
insistent you were running the football last year. I mean,
you just you've got to be able to find somebody
else that's not named Nico Collins. And I know at
the draft they tried to do that by getting Noel
and Higgins, and you hope that those guys can be
able to step up and be contributors for you this year.

(34:15):
But again, tough loss for the Texans, and tough for
Brevin Jordan too. I mean when you just go through
that rehab and you got to do it all over again,
I mean again.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah are they are they saying they're just gonna revalue,
They're going to.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Get the picture all of that.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
So I mean we'll wait and find out how the
swelling Yeah yeah, yeah, So find that out soon enough.
But I mean, you know, now it's even more onus
as you pointed out to Dalton Schultz and even Kid's
over too. I mean, a guy that they've expected to
take a huge step forward here and here two. So
we'll see if the Texans can do that. But uh,
let's get back into the Astros conversation because, as I mentioned,

(34:54):
a very important piece of this team. We all knew it,
but he showed it and talked yesterday. We'll talk about
him right here. It is the Shawn Salisbury Show on
a Tuesday Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
You're back.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Get back at it.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
The States and the surrounding area expected to have some
good teams this year in college football, and we're only
just a handful of weeks away.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I think, what was it, Josh C.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
Our Astros Network producer pointing out to me that next weekend, Sean,
that's when we get week zero in a good game too.
Over in Ireland. Kansas State Iowa State. So a top
twenty five matchup to be able to get a started
really sneaky good, There's no doubt about it. And seems
like the world loves Iowa. That be Texas love Iowa
State receivers. Yeah, and the quarters.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Now, the quarterback you'll be watching at Kansas State is
a player. I'm just telling you. He is a player.
So that'll be fun and cool for those players. The
hardest thing for a coach to guard against early the
fact that it's beginning of this eason. You're kicked into
football mode. You've been practicing, so it's like you're dialed in.

(36:05):
But the hardest thing to do is make sure you
treat it like this is. This is a business trip.
This is That's why anytime a team goes and plays
in Hawaii, you're like, okay, if it's a late night game,
it's easy. It's easy to get caught up in as
an eighteen or nineteen year old like oh well we're
going to play Hawaii. We're kicking their ass, right, but

(36:27):
this to just tell them and then you wake up
and you're down. I've covered games there for you, yes,
But when I was doing college football, and it's like,
for a while, the team that's supposed to dominate, you're
not careful because they'll pull all the stops those fans into.
Before you know you're like down two touchdowns. You're like, oh, yeah,
this is a business trip. That's what you got to
guard against. But the fact, you know, like I said,
you watch Avery Johnson play, you're going to see it.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
He's a treat great player. The fact that it's.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Early in the season, you know you're going over there
to have some fun, but it'll it'll be a horrible
playing ride home for either team if you go in
there and losing, don't play good football. And it's a
hell of a fun kickoff in week zero for two
teams that quite frank quite frankly are capable of competing
in that conference the whole year.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Yeah, And I mean, you know, I can't get here
soon enough because then week one you get some great
matchups too.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
So I'm fired up. I am ready to go.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
Carlos Korea, he is back in an Astros Uni and yesterday,
I mean along with everything, you know, like you said,
you get the pregame video with Alex Bregman, you get
the ovation there as he goes to the plate, playing
a little boosy over the over the speakers too as
he goes to the plate, and it's kind of like
a hey, you know, our guy is back.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Then he hits a two run homer and.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
Then the booze started to follow the next few times
he came up to the plate. But Carlos Correa getting
a nice ovation last night, saying that he even got
a little emotional. And then I loved his line too
that he said in the postgame interview in the clubhouse Sean,
where he said, I almost started to tear up, but
then I realized, Hey, I can't tear up in front
of a guy. It's gonna be a cy young Award
winner is going for it. So I gotta dry up

(38:01):
here and I gotta I gotta get going.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Well, even if he wouldn't have, even if he'd teared
up or not. Ninety nine, then he hit him with
that I don't know what what pitch it was. Was
it a cutter or something? Though? On strike two that
Correa swung and miss it kind of left the strike
zone and moved away from him whatever the pitch was.
But and then he pumped that ninety nine, and it
was like, Okay, it's hard enough to hit him when

(38:25):
you're dialed in let alone. But I would understand, you know,
Correa stepping that two years ago. He didn't have any
designs that he was going to be back here hitting
in the middle of an order or hitting in the
two hole or wherever in the first four or five
as an astro, maybe as a visiting twin. Sure, but
here you are back to where family's here, you know,

(38:45):
you know, as Steve said, just their family and kids,
and I mean every both house, his wife's family, everything.
And then where you're comfortable and you walk in you
don't have to force yourself in the locker room, the
forced leadership, it's just naturally. The reputation was here before
he even walked in the door. Again, I understand why

(39:06):
i'd get emotional a step back out of that batters
box and have take your helmet off and give thanks.
That's a pretty pretty cool thing. And I know it's
gonna sound crazy, you know what he's gonna remember for
a long time, he'll look back at moments in his
career while he was a player, staying that batters boxer,
stepping backut in the greeting he got he got from
fans last night, classy fans. Two guys that were gone

(39:28):
once back and one still gone, get treated like they're
still family. That's the way you're supposed to do. Just
because they're not on your team. Do in' mean you
got to hate him. You just can root against him
when they're playing against you, right and and but for
that reason, another good reason to love Astros fans per
se in this organization where they treat him. But that
that was a great moment that Korea we'll never forget

(39:48):
and I'm sure Bregman's not gonna forget it either. Welcome back,
Bam gone. So it's a pretty good start for both
of them. But it was it was it was like
an honor to watch it, even on TV last night,
to see that ovation that he got and was welcome back.
It was cool.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Speaking of Korea's leadership, he talked about it in the
Astros clubhouse. Are actually in the interview room yesterday, but
still talked about it pregame in some of the faces
have changed, but has his style of leading that room changed.

Speaker 8 (40:16):
I had a conversation while I threw it first at
a couple of things that I wanted to implement. He said,
you can do whatever you want, so he gave me
a green light. And then I had a conversation with Spaala.
He told me the same thing. And you know, I've
been talking to all the guys and we've been building
great relationships already with the new kids that I didn't
know before, and I feel like we're in a really

(40:37):
good spot right now moving forward.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
I think that's trust twofold Sean. I think it's trust
in himself, but it's also it's the trust in himself
being a veteran and realizing, hey, you don't just step
back into a room because Jeremy Pania. Yes they work
out together, they never played together other than you know,
having a friendly relationship that way. They didn't really know
each other all that well. And there's guys inside that
clubhouse he was here, but they don't know anything about him.

(41:03):
He steps back in and he starts piping up and
talking and they're like, wait a minute, you just got here, dude,
Like who are you when we've had guys like Altuve here,
we've had Jeremy Pania here and even some of the
newer guys that come into that clubhouse where maybe that
kind of starts to you know, you could throw off
the chemistry a little bit. And it seems like he

(41:23):
is picked and chosen his spots to step right back
in the real quick.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Dan, you make a hell of a point, as does
with Korea. I love the fact that a guy like
that you can waltz in here and just you can
actually immerse yourself into it without asking, but to get
a feel for what's going on, because he's just a
natural leader. But you also got to know when you
want to implement it, and they say cut it loose,
do your thing. That's a good thing, and then to
cut it loose without being invasive. But also at times

(41:50):
he's gonna have to go up to a camsmith or
even a pinion, maybe a little swift kick in the
rear in And it's so weird here in KARREA call
these guys young kids. When I can remember when he
broke it, it's like that felt like three three years ago.
So he gets it and especially as a high draft
pick and understand the expectations. So he's a he's a
the leadership probably just as important as anything. And he's

(42:11):
playing like he never I mean, he's playing like an
all star right now.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
And it's impressive. They need this.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
But I like the way it's a it's a mature
leadership too, because you don't know, you don't want to
force feed yourself and right, you don't know if somebody
is more sensitive that like, well, well who's this guy? Right,
he's been gone, he left us here what But it's
almost to the point where and I think Korea has
a pretty damn good feel from my vantage point of
when to put your arm around somebody and when to
let from Erval does know that, dude, Yeah, let's go

(42:41):
be that guy. That's exactly right to take on the
responsible your ace act like it. I mean that there's
you know, pitch like it, and I think he's got
a great feel for that. And that's not forced. That's
just kind of a guy that's got that DNA.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
Let's continue this conversation about Carlos Korea, because he showed
it with his play, but also off the field too,
we'll discuss that here. It is the Shan saul By
Show on a Tuesday Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Country Boys Roofing Countryboysroofing dot Com. How about my guy
John not price gauging you during these type of see

Dan matthewscues, this is the Sean Salisbury Show. How about
Christian Hobby here unreal in his return.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
Yeah, he gives up the two run home by Alex Bregman,
but then goes five innings, strikes out five, keeps it
right there for two runs for Boston and Texas the
new preseason AP number one team in the country. As
we continue the Astros conversation here, you want to join
us se one three two, one two five seven ninety
And I mentioned a couple of different variables of Carlos

(45:59):
kranzleleadership last night, one on the field, in one off
the field. And it is the third inning there where
the Astros broke through and finally scored some runs against Boston,
and he got runners on the corner there with one
out for Korea at the plate and the guy sitting
next to me in the in the press box, I
just said, hey, look at that right side.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
You know, just it was wide opening.

You got the first basement over at first cover, you know,
holding the guy on second basement's up the middle because
you can't you can't shift anymore. But at least you know,
that's what the chart tells you, is that he's probably
gonna hit a ball right there, easy double play for
a year. Out of the inning, Carlos Korea, like you
could almost see it and feel it that he looked
over to the right side and was like, h look
at that. Maybe it's not gonna be the hardest hit ball.

(46:44):
Doesn't have to be the hardest hit ball. Just get
it through and we're gonna run in going the other way,
staying with it in manufacturing or run there.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
That's number one.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
But remember too, that inning got started camp Smith with
the double down the left field line, and that was
nice to see out of him, especially after the double
on Sunday, and the same guy that I mentioned that too,
looked in the dugout and goes Man Coorea is unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
Look at him.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
He goes he immediately once he got back to the
dugout cam, Smith went up to him and started telling
him something like, you know of those things that I
don't know if you were necessarily missing it, but you
at least visibly get to see that people calling for leadership,
well at least you're seeing it in action.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Yeah, And he's the response, and it's almost.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
To know where. And at times, just because somebody had
success on a player or another player, that's the time
when you go to him. I've always seen you know
what I'm saying, things are going good. Go go lead
him up and coach him up of why it happened,
and kind of get their response and also engage with him.
He just has a He's always had a great knack.
And I guess I appreciate him more now than maybe

(47:51):
we did then because I guess because there were so
many great players, right, and now you're coming into a
situation that you got to take on the role again.
You didn't know you were going to take on a
month and a half ago, and hell and less than that,
and here you are doing.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Your thing, your first series at home.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Correy has got to not only does he have to
take care of his business like a great player does,
but also in the process of you having to deal
with it, you got to go play third base. It's
not your normal position, and you got to make sure
that everybody else is engaged. Even though they heaped that
on you, that's just who you are. And it's a
fine line between worrying about somebody else and forgetting what

(48:31):
you got to do and then doing what you do,
or the other side of doing what you do and
still in the process of bringing your teammates along with you.
So but there's nothing worse than forced leadership, and there's
nothing better than natural leadership when it comes to that
L word. And he's got it and this team's better
for it. And don't ever let anybody tell you that

(48:51):
leadership's overrated. It's not jam right. Leadership is actually underrated. Yeah,
there is no question authentic leadership.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
And I think that's what people were the most excited
about when he was added back. I mean the production
all of that, the player remembering who he was, yeah,
that's sure, but I mean being able.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
To add that back that that was at s and
it was also the biggest thing that people talked about
in losing him, are we going to pay him?

Speaker 5 (49:18):
You know?

Speaker 1 (49:18):
And then the member that that year he had a
good year and played a lot of baseball that year,
was not hurt much that year, and so it was like, oh,
he sent a loud message it Hey, there's pressure on
me to perform well and get this contract. And he did.
He didn't get the contract he wanted, but he did
all of that, and it was like, Okay, this guy
stepped his game up. So he's really put his money

(49:41):
where his mouth is. But I remember when he left
on this show and people call him. The number one
topic that they brought up about losing him was where's
the leadership coming from? And he knew the altuove hits
in a different way. It's not a it's a different
leadership than even far. Yes, just do your thing. And
then there was Bregman. But who leads in and a

(50:02):
in a okay, in a really good baseball mind way,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (50:07):
And you heard Joe Spota talk about that too. He's
in on our hitters meetings kind of directing it himself.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Who do you want more in on your hitters meetings?
No disrespect to Joe Aspota. Those guys are even your
hitting coach or a guy who knew the strikes on
and knows the strikes on as good as anybody in baseball,
and how how to make adjustments even though he struggles early,
giving people hints along the way, help along the way.
Still same thing here. So that was the number one thing.
And you got that leadership back, which is important.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Fill in the blank.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
The best teams are, the best teams are well talented,
The best teams are close teams. Teams I don't know
what is it?

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Player led? Oh yeah, there's that. That to me is
like getting there.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Well that to me, well that's a you know involved
To me, the best teams I've ever been on were
not policed by the coach. They were in the building
the coach or whatever, only gentlemen. They were only involved
if it was something that had business related to it
other than that fight, disagreement doing it all. And it

(51:12):
wasn't players only meetings. We didn't do those either, right,
We've all been on one. It was when you come
to where you've got to take guy's side, you know what.
To it was players handled and nobody was bothered by it.
Those were the best teams when you can't lead by
your own players, and you got to look upstairs to
somebody that's upstairs, whether it's a coach or a manager
or somebody in a suit.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
I got news for you. You're already done. You're you're
already in trouble.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
So that's it. And that's a great point that the
best teams are not only player led, but also thick
skinned baseball teams or football teams. You've got to be
willing to be coached, and you've got to be willing
to actually be criticized properly and not let it affect you,
like take it personal. So there is no question those
type of teams will always have a chance. And at

(51:58):
the top of the list is you've got to have
some pretty talented players. Talent is you start with talent,
then then you work out there. But give me great
leadership with great talent will win world series. Give you
great talent with average to below average leadership, and guys
that aren't on the same page, you will be done.
The coach will get fired, the manager will eventually get fired.

(52:19):
And you show me leadership, great leadership, and some good talent.
I still got a chance to win. Show me the
zero leadership with great talent. We've seen that before that
team will go away. They won't be able to handle
nutcut and time. This team's proven they can with a
whole bunch of different array of things. They finally got
the guy back in play that's willing to make. Just

(52:39):
think real quick before we go to break, and then
we'll get to you, Lisa, right after this break, before
we get to the stakeout. Yep. Just think about how
don't let me lose my train of thought. Think about
how gosh dang it when it comes to the leadership
of a team and where they're going. Gosh it. Now

(53:01):
I've sitting here, I was thinking about something else, and
it'll come to me. So if you want to get
to Lisa or get her after the break, I will
have it. It was it had to do with best
teams and where they're going and whyat matters and the
difference it will make. It'll come to me. I'm all over.
I'm sitting here thinking about what Lisa's I was reading,
but I was reading what Lisa was going to talk
about talking about Korea, and it had something to do

(53:23):
with him. It'll come back to me.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
You heard the man Lisa, You're gonna lead us off here,
and then we will get into the stakeout because is
this the ultimate revenge? And something of recent times might
tell us yes, we'll discuss that here. You want to
join us seven one three two one two five seven ninety.
Again it's SEB one three two one two five seven
ninety Sean Salisbury's show on a Tuesday Sportstock seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
Hey, listen into a recent podcast and a business leader,
a very well respected one, said, the best companies are
ones and Dan and I are sitting here talking about
baseball that solve problems in the market. Why don't we
just talk about problem solvers. Leadership on a team isn't
that similar? This is a team and it's DNM Auto Leasing.
So consider this new vehicle transaction prices. They're around forty

(54:06):
eight grand on the average today, forty eight thousand bucks.
That's double where it was in twenty ten and outpaces
wage increases by quite a bit. Affordability is a problem
for a lot of people. It's ridiculous, and with talks
of tariffs and other noise, customers are looking for a solution,
and that solution is affordable monthly payments. Some banks have

(54:26):
dealt with this by extending financing loans and financing terms
out to eighty four months and even ninety six months.
In fact, over twenty percent of auto loans now with
these banks are seven years long. Seven years long. That's
like a mortgage. No, we don't want a mortgage with
our vehicle. Don't do that. That's why more clients are
considering leasing than any other time. And if you're going

(54:48):
to lease, you might as well do it with somebody
who's been in business forty nine years and is the
best in the business. They're the nation's leading leasing company
when it comes to vehicles with fifty thousand satisfied customers,
and that is dn M Auto Leasing, the experts that
specialize in YEP solving the high payment problem with ez lease.

(55:08):
That's ez lease with no money down, payments significantly lower,
and buying and then buying which you have to pay
a lot, but significantly lower, and then with payments not
only lower but terms. That makes sense. So why wouldn't
you call DNM Leasing or visit them at dmauto leasing
dot com. Let's lower the payments and let's have no

(55:30):
money down. Put that in your pocket. So you can
do something with it. And the best in the business
is waiting for your call or waiting for your visit
dmauto leasing dot com. That's dmauto leasing dot com. Hey,
this is Charles Barker. When you guys talk, I put
on some way since my plan days. You should see
Sean Solisborough troble. Now back to the Sean Solersborough Show.

(55:55):
Want a knucklehead?

Speaker 2 (56:01):
All right, Sean?

Speaker 1 (56:01):
What are you hearing out there now?

Speaker 2 (56:04):
The Salisbury's takeout sALS brief takeout on the Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 4 (56:12):
In need It is here on a Tuesday Sports Talks
seven nineties, Stros hold on and beat the Red Sox.
Last night seven six Josh Hater some shoulder discomfort, hence
why he wasn't used team running tests and it's how
senior say over At Texans practice, tight end Brevin Jordan
had to be carted off with what looked like another
knee injury. We'll find out more about him later on today.

(56:35):
Someone three two, one two five seven ninety get to
the steakeout here in just a second, but Lisa wants
to get us going this morning.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Lisa, good morning, Hi guys, good to talk to you again.

Speaker 10 (56:45):
Same I just went to the game last night, and
I just wanted a couple comments.

Speaker 5 (56:50):
It was.

Speaker 10 (56:51):
It was really cool. It was almost like a playoff environment,
and a couple of things about Core. One thing I
was pleasantly reminded it about is what a heck of
an arm he's got. My gosh, he can he can
throw the ball he's got. He's just got a heck
of an arm. Made a couple of really good strong

(57:13):
throws from third, and just reminded about his arm. And
then and then another thing about his leadership. You guys
were talking about. One thing that happened that I noticed.
I noticed it right away is when Chas McCormick hit
that caught that ball off the wall deep in center field.
And at the end of the inning, everybody, the whole

(57:34):
team was running off the field, and Correa stopped on
the like like in between the dugout and the first
base line, and he stopped and waited for him to
come in from center field, gave him a head nod,
hit his glove, gave him a high five, you know,
just telling him great job. And I just thought that

(57:55):
was a you know, I mean, that's just a perfect
example of what of what you know y'all were talking
about this morning and what I think the team needed
and anyway, so I just had those couple of comments
and the last comment was is I guarantee you one
hundred percent Bregman did not have a problem with getting
booed after he hit that home run. He knows, he
knows he's competing in in you know, opposing stadium now,

(58:19):
other teams trying to win. He jack's won out, He's
going to get booed, and it's part of the game.
I wasn't doing it, but that's just that's the way
it goes. And I guarantee you he did.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Not have a problem with that at all.

Speaker 10 (58:31):
He probably was laughing to himself in fact, but anyway,
all right, guys, just wanted to have say that and
you have a good one and enjoy your show as always.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
Thanks and Jared, they cheered him when he stepped in,
and any homers, you get the booze. That's just simple.
She's right, that's a sign of respect that as a
as a visiting player. Now, that puts a smile on
your face.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
I mean, I think that it was more or less
just you know, it's like a friend of yours that
you know, does something that you're like, oh, come on man,
not cool, that's.

Speaker 5 (59:04):
What that was.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
You bet a hole and you haven't played well and
then you beat him on the hole. He's like, oh boom, man,
come come on, really you show up now? Yeah, right right?
You show up late. You were you didn't get to
go hit balls on the range, and you smoked one
three hundred down the middle fairway and better sit you'd
hit it out drive us. Yes, that's what that felt like.
And Lisa's right, playoff atmosphere, but Cray just gets it.
You got to know when as a leader is the

(59:24):
right time and he and he did it. And yes,
playoff atmosphere through and through last night. But they're going
to be in those type it's the red So I mean,
there's a lot of reasons to the playoff atmosphere. You're
going to be in those series and they have to
treat it as such the rest of the way because
a three game losing streak and you can be two
games behind and you don't want that. So pretty cool,

(59:45):
And Lisa's spot on. I love the energy in the
building and make no mistake about it, Carlos Gray has
been an incredible shot of testosterone into this clubhouse. He
really has.

Speaker 4 (59:56):
Well, I gave the you know, the motion of a
syringe to my arm here in studio, and you said, right, yes,
that's what That's exactly what it is. Yeah, Sam, we'll
get to you here in just a second. But did
you see that a woman faces twenty thousand dollars in
medical bills because she was on a hike and a
bat flew into her mouth. This happened last week. All
I could think of immediately was was that a descendant

(01:00:20):
of the ill fated bat for Ozzy Osbourne that said,
now that Ozzie is with us, I'm going to send
one of mine to exact revenge on someone else.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
Okay, well, let me get this straight. I'm not trying to.
I don't know the story. A bat flew into her
mouth on a hike in a national park and they
saw bats flying around and then all of a sudden
it was okay, but how does a bat fit into

(01:00:51):
a mouth? Well, I mean, let's call it what it is.
They're basically rats with wings, right, So about that size? Yeah,
but a tad bit bigger, right unless you get a
fat rat? Right? Oh yeah, No, there's there's some of
those tests. Maybe just say, hey, you're walking at me.
I understand a fly or a bug flies into your
mouth once a wha did you imagine, Hey, a bison

(01:01:14):
flew into my mouth. I mean, like it just seems
I don't want to laugh at her because I'm sure
that was That's not a fun thing, especially when it's
that I mean, that's got to be scary. Yeah, but
that's a that's a hello. We should all be able
to target something and talk about am small, miss small.
That bat knew where it was headed.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
Man. Yeah, they were hiking around Horseshoe Bend. It was
her and her father, Erica Kahan, Massachusetts. Woman is her name.
It was a freak accident. I'm not sure what part
of it was or what part of the bat was there,
but there definitely was a bat. Got a taste of it,
pretty gross, tastes a little earthy, a little sweet. If

(01:01:55):
you're wondering, you that was.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Her saying this. Yeah, so you say, but it's twenty
five thousand dollars in doctor's fees and she's okay, yeah, yeah,
I mean I'm sure you know you got to check
for rabies all that kind of stuff. But same bat time,
same same bat channel.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Adam weston the groo.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
I don't want to I don't want to laugh, but
you kind of got it now. She's okay, right, she's okay.
That she's not because she's not gonna die, and that
shirts still got use of her vocal cords and all
that stuff. That would be one hell. I mean, I've
been had a bird crap on the top of my head.
We've all had a bug fly into our mouth. It's nasty.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
And Isaiah Carrey Fox twenty six he definitely did. Yeah.
You ever seen that one I have of this country town?

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
Yeah? That classic, too classic video, But that might be
a first. I've never heard anybody say, yeah, what were
you doing?

Speaker 11 (01:02:46):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
Bat flew into my mouth? Oh cool, it's got to
say sweet.

Speaker 4 (01:02:50):
You think there's two places where the conversation with somebody
you don't know starts the exact same way, the emergency
room and probably the trunk tank. Hey, well, what got
you here? I got a little got a little carried away? Right, Hey,
what got you here? Bat flew in my mouth?

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
Bat flew in my mouth? Yeah? Excuse me? Yeah, a
bath Literally, it tastes sweet, A little tastes like chicken.
I'm sure it tastes like chicken, doesn't everything that's not chicken,
I mean, he's not chicken. Taste like, how did taste
like chicken?

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Like beef ramen?

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
I don't think she said that, I was gonna say,
but I mean, it's just kind of, you know, switch
it up a little bit because it just feels like, yeah,
it just feels like that's always kind of the go to,
you know, go to move for people is you know,
it tastes like chicken, right, you know, alligator, what does
it tastes like?

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
It tastes like chicken? If it's cooked right.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Well, if it tastes like chicken, then then it's a
good thing.

Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
But she said it was sweet and a little earthy,
A little earthy, A little earthy then oh sweet. Yeah,
that's kind of an odd because earthy I think dirt
no taste kind of yeah, but that a little sweet.
Well maybe that was the back a little dirt in
your mouth? Did the maybe the bat crapped in her mouth?
I don't know. Well, you know that's the sweet part.

Speaker 4 (01:04:03):
But you know, you almost wonder though she's okay though, right, yeah, yeah,
I mean, you know a few medical bills later and
probably got to, you know, hold off on spending on
a few other things, say such as life.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Maybe the moral of the story is here that the
medical world overcharges could be could be twenty five grand
because of bat fluid. You have to get a little
test done, fairness, twenty grand, twenty grand, twenty five grand,
fifteen grand. Hell, how can it cost that much? Hey,
did you draw a little blood test for rabies or whatever?

(01:04:35):
And say you're good? It makes for a great story,
You're fine. Twenty five thousand. I went into MRI tank
for my knee almost seven grand. Now that's what they get.
It's like, that's the bid. That's the racket, dude. Yeah,
build a building, put an MRI take in there and
have the proper medical people there to get a minute

(01:04:55):
to know how to do it, and you own it. Yep,
here we go. That's that's the one. I don't know
if it would suffice to say, I'm going to own
a company that knows how to treat bats flying into
people's mouths because you go broke, Because I've never heard
that before in my life. I know my dad growing
up not one of nine kids, They weren't didn't have
money in Oceanside, California. My dad had to stay in

(01:05:16):
the in the the extra room what do they call
him now? But it was the loft, but it was
an enclosed loft. I mean there was nine kids, right,
and there was times that my dad had to couldn't
get it out. At times would come in through the
there's a bat in the room.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Sometimes if my dad fall asleep and fly around, I said,
Pop's here tough. I don't think a lot of people can.
But they have no choice right coming to go and
what are you gonna do? And so, But my pops
had never had it flying to his mouth.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Yeah, hopefully she's okay. Yeah, I'd say wear a mask.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
Don't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
You don't want the needle to the belly. But that's
exactly right now. You want to avoid that as much
as she can.

Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
Salm and umbole. You're gonna lead us off. You want
to join salmon umble and be one of the cool kids.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
We're the Sewn Salisbury Show continued.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
This is a great cut.

Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
Then you say, what happened, Well, it's just if they
if they're still performing and you know they fit into
that category. You go there and they're hey, this is
some of our news stuff. It's like, hey, play the song. Yeah,
but how are you here? How are you a one
hit wonder? When you when you get one like that?

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
How are you not like songwriting?

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
They just say, this is your appeal, just grow into
a funk.

Speaker 4 (01:08:54):
Yeah, I mean there could be that, but it also,
I mean just such a diluted pool of performers out
there that they can pretty much they look at you
and say, you're a dime a dozen't we can find
twenty of you?

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
Right, So then the next thing is then that it
also puts up more wow factor to the ones who
just keep pumping out hits.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
Right, yeah, yeah, like, I mean, look, I understand that
she has her detractors, but like Taylor Swift is going
to be on the Travis Kelcey and Jason kelce podcast
New Heights, So there's a shock and she's going to
Actually she did announce a new album that they had
blocked out, but apparently that's coming out soon.

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
You better announce it on your man's show, not on
somebody else's post. This would be her twelfth album, so
and eight of them will be top sellers, right, go platinum,
right easily. Yeah. Whether whether you like her style or not,
she pumps out music. She she's a very talented musician
for sure. Listen to her stuff. Very often less's on
the radiant comes on, but she talented. I just always wondered,

(01:09:55):
like you come up with drift Away or psych a
song He's like, damn, that's a great cut, and then
we never we Right now, I couldn't tell you anything
else that Benny Mardonas has ever saying is like or
Dolby Gray other than drift Away.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
I'll be honest, that was the first time I'd ever
heard the name Benny Mardonas.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
Oh really, yeah, I've never heard it, but that song
that's that's my era type of cut right, old school.

Speaker 4 (01:10:18):
But I thought he had passed in the old school, right.
But I mean there's just some names that I hear
and I'm just like, you know, like one Hit, Wonders
and Spoil. You're like, where a guy go out and
have a fantastic season. It's like what happened to.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
Dan Pasqua ever, Mike pali Arulo, guys that had You're
like man, Mike more to carry Yeah yeah blouse right,
You're like you had a good seat.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
Where'd you go?

Speaker 5 (01:10:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
So I just have always wondered how, I know, Bey
hitting a baseball maybe a little tougher than going in
the studio and having help. But write in music, that's
got to be it. That's a skill man to be
able to do that. So our love to Benny Mardonas
rip Benny. Yeah, well the Marty Ian man, I mean,
would that stick? What's that for?

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
The Marty Mardonas? I don't think that'd be.

Speaker 5 (01:11:08):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
They're probably call him b m yeahs BM Benji. I
called Ben Benji Benji yeah, yeah, yeah. His mom probably
called him Benjamin. I was gonna say, or Ben Yeah,
Benjamin Benjamin Jonathan mardonas right, I don't know what his
middle name is.

Speaker 2 (01:11:26):
That sounds good. Yeah, we have to look that up. Yeah,
One hit Wonders.

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
Man, there's some good one hit Wonders out there for sure,
some good cuts over the year. And you're like, man,
I'd like to have another drift away from Dolby Gray.

Speaker 4 (01:11:37):

playlist out there of one hit Wonders that you can
check out and be like, man, what happened to these guys?

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
That's good, Humble we go. Sam wants to weigh in. Sam,
Good morning, Good morning, tell us, how y'all doing great?

Speaker 5 (01:14:00):
Man, love the show Man, Thanks all the insight. Before
I get to my boy coming back to Houston, Man,
I just want to touch off Brettman.

Speaker 4 (01:14:09):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:14:09):
You know the tribute video they did, it was awesome,
but after that, it was stay boots for me. If
you're not with me, you're against me. That's how I feel.
I still got a less of the man. So sure
he's an athlete, but again, if you're not with me,
you're against me. I did the same thing that Carlos
and fortunately but now Carlos is my guy.

Speaker 11 (01:14:27):
A couple of things.

Speaker 5 (01:14:28):
How here phenomenal job, loved it, Ramonia is now the
guy is coming out. Cluss. I think you'll be a
great athlete down down the down, you know, in the race,
Chaz going on to Korea and you guys talking about
one hit wonders. I don't think there's a one hit wonder.
But that uh opening walk up something that he came into.

(01:14:49):
I don't know if you guys can pull it. Uh,
I'm coming home like the place went crazy when that
comes on, and you know, talking about the anything that
happened on the field last night. He was in the mix,
whether it was somebody making a great play in him
high fiving, whether it was a clutch at back somebody had.
He was out on the I've never seen so many

(01:15:11):
astros on the sets. He is sick. He's been there,
he's been there. I've seen our two bay up there,
Dubon's up there. JP Three's up there. Like all these guys,
there's a new there's a new fire ignited in Houston. Man.
When he came back, I love it. I'm gonna finish
with Tim. They turned to ac off at the park.

(01:15:32):
It was a little warm, but other than that, everything
else was fired. Thank you guys, love the show. Sha't
wait to listen to you guys chime in.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
They appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
Sam, I mean, you know we've talked about it all
throughout the show this morning. Is that it is that
shot of adrenaline for this team. That's what they needed too.
I mean for the longest part this year, for all
the wins they've picked up, which sixty seven of them.
Now here's sixty seven and fifty two on the year
and now a game ahead of the Mariners in the West.
But what has been the constant every single day, not

(01:16:01):
just for Joe A. Spotty, even the guys in the clubhouse.
Oh all your injuries, Oh all the guys. There's no
yrd On there's there's there's no you know, Christian Hobby here,
there's there's no Jake Myers. Just all of that, and
now all of a sudden, it's hey, how about that
Korea guy coming back? How about you know, to Sam's point,
Ramoni Reus, you know, being able to add him. You'd

(01:16:22):
like to Sejesus Sanchez get going a little bit. But
it's the infusion of new guys to kind of switch
things up a little bit in that clubhouse.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
No doubt, and to get the most out of him,
but still mixed with some veteran leadership who knows how
to be a pro. Right, there's a different You know,
you're a professional because you get paid, but being a
pro's different, and we know what that means. Carlos Kraa
come back here as a pro, and I agree with
the car I understand why. Well, right now, Alex Bregman's
the enemy. You could share him and the standing ovation.

(01:16:50):
But the second, yeah, the second you're done welcoming him back,
he now becomes a guy you want to strike out
every single time he comes and played. Of course, that's
called good gamesmanship and being a good fan, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (01:16:59):
Joe spot It did mention that too in the pregame
and the dugout, where he was like, you know, first one, yeah,
you know, we'll let him tip the helmet all of that,
and then after that, well the booz are gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:17:09):
Happen trying to get his ass out. Yeah right, you
don't want him to be the difference. It's it's a fact,
and love you man, it's your best buddy's playing across
from you. I always I talked to Bruce Matthews about
this when he had to play against Clay, who, by
the way, belongs to the Hall of Fame. I'll leave
that there and Bruce and like what he had to
play against Clay, it's like, man, that's my brother. I

(01:17:29):
got to go up and get on, you know. And
Clay is a hell of a player. And he said,
you know what, once the ball snapped, though, I love
you and I got a cheap show. You ain't my brother.
You know you're my brother, but I'm still there to
wear you at your ass out and Bregman feels like
family here, right, But once that introduction's done, it's Thanksgiving dinner.
Once we say we love you, we said the para

(01:17:51):
and everything gets all fine and Danny, but I'm not
letting you have the last piece of good turkey. Right,
you get your as I get same thing here. Okay,
you got the tip of the hay.

Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
You ain't getting us. And he extended it for.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
Two runs. But after that, it's like he's on the
other team. And I'm sure Korea the people felt the
same way. He's there. He's the enemy in a baseball terms.
He comes here, he's now back to being family. So
there you go a little bit of strange for a
few days or a few years, should I say, and
back and everything's fine and Danny so good fans and
appreciate that call. And there's an energy matters, dude, And

(01:18:25):
I can tell you this. You can replace. You can
do a lot with energy. Even if you're having one
of those days. There's something about energy that you say, Okay,
we still got a chance. And this energy with an
influx of young players and some vet kg and wiley veterans,
makes for it's gonna be one hell of a run
down the stretch as we push our way towards September

(01:18:47):
and hopes to get people back. But like I said
the first hour, I'm planning on this is who you're
going to to the ends of the earth with this year.
And if you get the big fellow back in a
couple well, other's great. If you don't, and this team
has not made an excuse about it the entire year.
At least, I haven't heard from the players. You start
to get caught up in that, you'll disappear. They have

(01:19:10):
not got caught up in the woe is me? How
I can't believe we've been through this because you wallow
and self pity. You do that in the offseason, Man,
what could have been right now? You don't have time
for it. And this team, at least on the surface
that I've heard, I have not heard them, even Dana
Brown when he comes on, you're talking about, Yeah, we've
been injured and had to overcome a lot of stuff,
but there's always a BUTU. But you still got to

(01:19:30):
play them, and you're still getting paid to play them.
And the Astros have done as good a job as
anybody I can in recent memory of overcoming this much
stuff from key players, a lot of them, and to
get performances out of guys they've gotten performances out of
who just And that's also part of the leadership and

(01:19:51):
the expectation. I don't expect Jason Alexander, if I'm Carlos Kraha,
to come in there and flounder. Yeah. I know, dude,
you may not be an ace of a staff, but
when you're on the mat, expect you to do what
he's done twelve straight scoreless innings, pitch your ass off,
to hold it down and tell well until we get
healthier until your next start. That's just the way it works.
And I think expectations placed on people's good. If you

(01:20:13):
expect them to be average, they usually it's it's a
self fulfilling prophecy. Expect them to do and rise above,
at least in this organization. If you can, you can't
tell me you haven't seen people here elevate. Seems like
it's always somebody different and even over and above at
times when the regulars, we know what al Tuova is
going to do, but you wouldn't be anywhere near a

(01:20:35):
division lead if the other guys hadn't overperformed this year
or perform the way they're supposed to have got a
chance to perform. Right, they have really done one hell
of a job. Normally you just say we chalk it up.
It was one of those years and you're still in
first place by a game.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
Impressive now it is, and hopefully the Astros can finish
it off when it's all said and done. Someone three two, one, two,
five seven ninety is the number to get in one
part of the Astros team.

Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
That looks like some attrition is starting to hit and
not a good time for it.

Speaker 4 (01:21:05):
We'll discuss that here as we get into the eight
o'clock hour on a Tuesday edition of the Shawn Salisbury
Show Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):

your kids? Does your girls like cheerleading? Well you can
do this with the SFL. They've got cheerleading league as
well as cheerleaders for the league and all these grades
going up. You got to have somebody who can teach
your kid, whether it's flag football what you got, or

(01:21:32):
tackle football. And it is so important at a fragile
age when they're elementary school, junior high to get taught right.
And you heard last week with our guests coming on
talking about the south West Football League, Well it's going on.
It's a nonprofit, individual independent football league that has been

high school. Nowadays, we've got some great coaches on board.
Weldon Brown, Jonathan Banks, Will Wallace to Code Allen, all

be millionaires by coaching your kid. They're doing it because
they want to give back and make a difference. This
league is coached right. Free equipment in the Tackle Football
League for those that have never played. Free equipment. You
looked at the price of shoulder pads and helmets these days,

your kids third to the eighth grade wants to play tackle, fine.

on in there. The coaches love it and if they're
invested in your child, your child's in good shape. There

Speaker 3 (01:23:58):
To usc Trophes longtime friends shown Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
Dan Matthew, excuse us, this is the Sean Seals very show.

Speaker 4 (01:24:10):
Unreal in his return five innings, five strikeouts. Does give
up that to run Homer to Alex Bregman early on
in the game. Jacob Melton back with the Astros Cooper
Hummel DFAD and also to Colton Gordon optioned down last
night to make room for Javier on the major league roster.
But Josh Hater also missing last night's game shoulder discomfort

(01:24:32):
team running tests. We'll find out more a little bit
later on today when everybody gets to the ballpark. I
am sure, but someone three two, one, two, five seven
nine You get into the bullpen discussion here in just
a second, but Brandon wants to weigh in.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
Brandon, good morning, good.

Speaker 1 (01:24:46):
Morning, gets why this is dead?

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
What'd you just do?

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
I does head home one?

Speaker 4 (01:24:53):
There you go, Brandon, Happy for you man. You got
the birthday coming up tomorrow. Life is good in Brandon's world.
I like it what you got on these astros?

Speaker 1 (01:25:02):
Hey we want.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
Did you get a little nervous?

Speaker 5 (01:25:05):
There? No?

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
All right?

Speaker 4 (01:25:08):
See, Brandon's like you, Sean, He's like Joe Aspata. He
he likes the competition right there. He craves it, he
needs it. Man, own harp I'm my own heart. I
love it, and I'll harp on that all the time.
I love when you got to come out to the
ballpark every day and have that feeling of this game
could be the difference in whether we make it or not.

Speaker 1 (01:25:30):
I love it. I think that's I think it keeps
players on guard. I big leads are fine for fans,
but I need them engage. So Brandon and I are
on the same page.

Speaker 2 (01:25:39):
And excited to see Carlos Korean from the home fans
last night.

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
Brandon, Yeah, did you hear an interview Dan Well?

Speaker 2 (01:25:47):
I not only heard it, I was right there in
the middle of it. All me and Gordy right there
in the interview room.

Speaker 5 (01:25:54):
I heard you, O.

Speaker 4 (01:25:56):
Yeah, well, you know, had had to get one in
there and did. And as a matter of fact, the
leadership answer that that was to my question in there.
So now I appreciate the hat tip. Brandon, appreciate it, buddy.
Well go ahead, Oh I just asked him about, you know,
coming back in and you know he was a leader before,

(01:26:18):
but you know, do you have to fine tune any
of his leadership tactics with new guys in there?

Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
And that's all.

Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
There?

Speaker 4 (01:26:30):
You go, Well, they're gonna need him. They're gonna need him,
that's for sure. Hey, Brandon, have a happy birthday tomorrow. Man.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
We'll catch up with you soon. Okay, okay, all right, man,
appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (01:26:40):
Yeah, as Carlos Korea coming back in helping out last
night get the which by the way too, in that
first inning, nice little nifty play over there at third
where you got all over. It was capper off the
end of the bat coming to him and some guys
might not make that play. And what was the concern
that people had when Alex Bregman left. They were like, God,
that defense is gonna just fall off over there. He's

(01:27:01):
dock Perette has played a good third base and now
and by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:27:05):
To the game last night, you won't have a game
where there's two better I mean, even though that's not
Korea's natural position, two better third basemen playing in the
same game last night. And Bregman made plays too, Korea.
It's almost as if we've been talking about him playing
third base his whole career. It's weird how talented he
is with his glove and Bregman the same way. Yeah,

(01:27:27):
and that's that's a fun watch watching them and then
only swing the back of play defense short stops playing
third base, yeah, and really good at it, Yeah, really good.
I mean, just to the point of just their hand
eye coordination, their ability to do it and then make
the throw. And hell, Korea, he's got a right field
arm playing third base now and obviously at shortstop. It
was unparalleled when it came to Major League baseball. But

(01:27:50):
it's a fun watch because they make plays that aren't
supposed to look simple, look really simple, and both of
them make those plays, it seems like on a regular basis,
And the fact that Korea, oh, I mean, maybe this
is what I was going to say. We were talking
about impact. It is what I was going to say.
Think about what Korea coming back here did. I'm glad that,

(01:28:11):
Thank you man. I knew it would come back. Think
about Korea coming back here. And I want you to
just for a second, think about what's happened to the
Red Sox since Devers left. Great hitter as a lifelong
Red Sox man. Hell, I've seen him take eight million
swings at the plate he left and San Francisco for

(01:28:34):
the Initia Park got worse. Don't tell me leadership doesn't
matter or and it's not just one guy. But is
it ironic? Is it coincidence? He was asked in Boston
to move two different times. Well you play first base?

Speaker 5 (01:28:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
Would you date that?

Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
Would you move?

Speaker 5 (01:28:49):
No? No?

Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
No, no, no gets traded? Oh sure, I'll play it.
I'll play first base for you. Think about the headache
you had to go through for a three hundred million
dollar player. Three hundred million dollar players. It's a great hitter,
make no mistake about it. But think about that's one
of those guys You clear out of the clubhouse and
you'll hear ten years from that horse. You know, you'll
get to a point where it's like in the Red Sox.

(01:29:11):
Dude there, before the season is over, I would imagine
the Red Sox are going to be challenging for a
chance to win the division. My point is I would
think they are right. My point is sometimes you clear
non leaders out, it makes you better. Right, think about
what Karaa did here. He got off the team plane
said you didn't give me the money that I want.

(01:29:32):
I mean he didn't say this, but they never gave
him the money that he wanted when he first left here.
So I don't think he left bitter, but just understood
it was business. Willing to come back or gets off
the team plane, I mean off the visit the plane
to be a member of this team. What happens, Yeah,
I'll play third base. Well, whatever it takes. Now, you
tell me the different now and now, look who's in
first place this team? What are we talking about most

(01:29:55):
of our crea his bad is sizzling, But what are
we talking about his impact on the team. What are
you talking about in San Francisco and Boston right now? Overall,
great hitter, his lack of leadership impact on the team,
and it does matter. Correy is provided it. Now we'll
see the rest of the season. Hello, he keeps hitting

(01:30:16):
like this, will be jumping for joy and say okay, yeah,
great paint. However long he wants to stay. But the
impact and the willingness as a leader who at his
stage of his career could have said, no, I'm not
because you can make the argument, no disrespect to Jeremy Payna,
that Corey is still as good a defensive shortstop as
there is in this league. You can make that argument.

(01:30:38):
But the willingness to know that this guy's the fute,
this guy's really good. Meaning Painia say I'll move there.
If you'd have told Karre he had to play first base,
guess what he'd done, but first pace, he'd have played
first base. If Paradus, I'm just say, let's say Christian
Walker got hurt and it please don't let that happen.
But got hurt and Paradus and you wanted Caroteni and
Diaz to play. You didn't want them constantly playing first base,

(01:30:59):
and you wanted to go You literally could have said, well,
Paratus is still at third base. We don't want to
disrupt that playing decent Carlos, could you for a while,
just could you go over to first base and you
know what he'd done, broken in a first base Yeah,
you're damn right he would have. I firmly believe that.
Thank goodness, he doesn't have to. But there's the difference
in great player. Well, I can tell you this Devers

(01:31:20):
is overall a better hitter than than Karrey is just
with over has been any of the guys, right, But
I can also tell you this as the overall impact
player on the team, he's not even the same area
code stratosphere where he's not the same area code. Obviously,
he's not in the same stratosphere that Korey is. When
it comes to your impact on a team, the entire impact,

(01:31:42):
not just when you're at the plate, selfish for one,
unselfish for another. The Red Sox are probably better off
without their three hundred million dollars player, and the Astros
are far better off that Korea is back on this roster. Now.

Speaker 4 (01:31:56):
There's no arguments there, and I mean the recent results
would tell you that is absolutely case.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
It's sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:32:00):
It off a little sluggish out there in Boston, but
since then the Astros have picked it up, and that
is good.

Speaker 1 (01:32:05):
I wasn't sluggish for Corrella though, No it was and
impacted it immediately for sure, for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:32:11):
But uh, speaking of the bullpen and some of their struggles,
might it have been something that we should have seen coming.
We'll discuss that here as we continue the Astros conversation.
You want to get in seven one three two one
two five seven ninety can at seven one three, two
one two five seven ninety as we continue here Sean
Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:32:29):
Oh, also check this out.

Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
I should have warned if Seawan only cares about cold hard.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
Back to the Sean Salisbury Show on Sports Talk seven.

Speaker 4 (01:32:39):
Ninety those of us here at iHeart that she never
tries or she never fails to try to evolve how
she teaches, so no student is left behind.

Speaker 2 (01:32:48):
And if no one will fight for her students, well
she sure will.

Speaker 4 (01:32:51):
Yesterday it was Alexa Merland from Klin Oak High School.
Now you get to school getting back in session?

Speaker 12 (01:32:58):
What was it?

Speaker 4 (01:32:59):
One of my callers last night, Owen, a kid on
the tenth Inning Show. Sean said he went to the
game with his dad and said, uh, well, school starts tomorrow,
so a little bit of an early wake up for him,
which is all good if.

Speaker 1 (01:33:11):
You're going to throw the ball over the fence. You
better be able to go get it there. You go,
put on him, goes watch the game and wake up
the smart You know what, he'll have great story to
tell when he's a class.

Speaker 2 (01:33:19):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:19):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:20):
Probably, you know, if there's no DRASCO to those teachers right, absolutely,
absolutely for sure, So the school year gets going. Definitely
want to shout out those who make a difference and
are able to help out at their schools and their
students and everybody they affect.

Speaker 1 (01:33:35):
How many pictures is it okay to send if you're
a you know, when you send your kid off to school,
if it's the first time they go to school. I
hated it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:41):
I hated it every single time.

Speaker 5 (01:33:42):
My mom.

Speaker 4 (01:33:43):
I wouldn't do the corkboard thing, but that my mom
every day. Oh I want to get a picture.

Speaker 1 (01:33:49):
I'm like, okay, so how are you?

Speaker 11 (01:33:50):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:33:50):
You're on Facebook and all of a sudden, somebody, for
like two straight weeks has sent four hundred pictures of
their kids going to school.

Speaker 2 (01:33:56):
You hit or out, you get one day? One day,
you get one. Dakay, give him want to second day?
That's day two.

Speaker 1 (01:34:01):
We don't need a second day. Picure. No, I don't
need it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:03):
Empty the bucket on first day. So that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:34:05):
You know, I never welled in again my kids growing
it was never a big deal for me. I didn't
do it.

Speaker 4 (01:34:11):
Baby announcements are nice, but I mean, I think that
we've passed the Hey, here's my shoes, here's her shoes,
here's the little one shoes to let everybody know, oh, hey,
we're having a baby.

Speaker 1 (01:34:20):
And okay, like we talk about certain outfits you should
or shouldn't wear. M and again, congratulations to those great
students of the I mean teachers of the it's day
by day, right, that's awesome. Is there a time should
a high school student be taking the oh my my
son's going his first day of high school? Or are

(01:34:41):
we past that? Should it be reserved for elementary school?
It's reserved for anybody who wants to do it. But
if you're you know, the high school kids one that's
and the mom or the ad'll eventually yeah, i'd smile
and hates the picture. Is there an age limit on
when you could say back to school, first day of
high school, first day of their senior year, start off
their senior year, it's my last day for my baby,

(01:35:04):
for the parent. I know why they're doing it. They're
doing it for them more than their kid, and down
the road someday. Right, I get it, proud parents, But
as the kid is it should should you be able
to go to your parents say okay, mom, I'm in
the ninth grade. Now you don't need to let everybody
know I'm in the ninth grade.

Speaker 4 (01:35:20):
Well yeah, age, it is the natural progression of childhood
that you do start to get embarrassed by your parents.
So that kind of feeds into it a little bit.
But I'd say with high school, going in and heading out. Okay,
so going day in, last day out. Yeah, so freshman
year and then graduation.

Speaker 1 (01:35:36):
A couple of your kids are over for their last party,
or it's the last day of school.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
And you got your yearbook wear Yeah, it's just yeah, hey,
hey can you sign it? Sign my yearbook? Have a
bitch in summer I'll see at the beach type of thing.

Speaker 5 (01:35:46):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:35:46):
I asked this, I want to know from if we
get some listeners that with you.

Speaker 1 (01:35:50):
Now, some of our listeners their kids may be older
or if they have younger kids, do you have a cutoff?
Are you like empty the bucket first day of school
or is it a first week? Can you get into
the second week of school. I'm just because I've been
out of My kids are a little older, so I've
been out of that, and one my oldest, I mean,
were we really posting back in ninety one my oldest nighty?

(01:36:10):
There really wasn't a lot of picture like that, right.
You take maybe one that you chair, you go get
you take them down to the drug store or the
damn pharmacy and get them developed right, right. But my
point is now, so I really was never really as
they got older, like you you know, a prom picture
all their buddies together standing on the staircase with their

(01:36:30):
girl getting ready for homecoming or the prom. But I'm
wondering because I really want to know where do we
sit on that For people that are sending their kid
to school today or yesterday, I wonder is do do
you also have the age thing where if it's a junior,
what's the junior saying to you? And you was like, nope,
we're gonna I'm gonna make sure I chart this the
whole time because my kids will be grateful. My dad

(01:36:51):
used to keep a scrap book of everything for my
you know, articles that were written when you were a
play all those things, and I'm so grateful to my
pops then, I mean, after what he did and you
save them.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
But we were never a big photo fan. We take pictures,
but was never a big all.

Speaker 1 (01:37:06):
Right, everybody sit around the table, let's do forty pictures
every and sometimes I wish we had more of them,
but it just wasn't the deal because we didn't. Cell
phones weren't relevant for my mom and dad back in
the day. Right, hell, by the time they were there,
just like how do you use this thing again? And
asking the kids to show them? Right? So I just
wonder is there a cutoff for you folks, your parents,
moms and dads out there? Is there a cutoff that

(01:37:29):
your kids say no, not today, we're not doing the
sophomore year? Or do you not care? It's like every
year and I get a is it like female birthdays
they get a birthday month when you get a birthday day?
Or is it like more for the girls than the guys.
Do their dads care as much as the moms do?
And is there a cutoff for age you say no, no, no, no,

(01:37:51):
telling people it's my first day of my junior year.
But I like your style first day, your freshman year,
last day year. See now, if something goes in your
kid wins it a ward or a football, I get you.
I've talked about the opening of the school day. It's
my point. Is there a cutoff? I don't care either way.
If you don't like it, keep scrolling. But there may
be five thousand people that are doing it. Where's the cutoff?

(01:38:12):
Or is there one of the kids standing in front
of the house at the doorway and they got their
new backpacks and their school. Is there an age cut off?
And went Okay, enough enough unless it's a special situation
and it's obviously more special to the parent than it
is to the kid.

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
I would say for kids, well you do probably what
with my kids.

Speaker 1 (01:38:33):
First grade, second grade, third grade, elementary school for sure,
But I'm sure the pushback would happen like seventh grade, right, Okay,
be like I'm too cool for this, right, you know,
don't do this to me and don't post this.

Speaker 4 (01:38:43):
I don't want to eat my friends to see it
or their parents to see it. Right then they share
it with my friends of you don't, mom, don't, and
they sprint to the doorday. You don't want to hear them.
I used to, hey, make good choices on purpose. My
kids would are like, that'd be quiet, right, But I
would do that. They got to a certain point where
it was just as a joke, and then by kids
later I started saying it to me like you'd go
out somewhere they say, make good choices, pops, Yeah, should

(01:39:05):
be quiet right. Well, I mean Jeff Foxworthy said it
best that parents' job is to embarrass the kids, and
the job of the kids is to embarrass the parents.

Speaker 1 (01:39:12):
That's right, It's the natural life cycle. Yeah, wait for
him by the bus stop. I love those dads like
put a dinosaur outfit all after their kids. You know,
that's why you play. If your kid did something, you
know like, oh, we'll get you back, then you're waiting
for them in some crazy ass outfit. So I'm just
curious how you felt about that. So now it's uh,
it's it's definitely more times coming now, I have Yeah, sooner,

(01:39:33):
sooner rather than later, no doubt about it. Red a Goo.

Speaker 4 (01:39:36):
Someone three two, one, two, five, seven ninety is the
number to get in real quick here and we can
continue this conversation the bullpen last night shorthanded, I mean
mentioned about Josh Hater having the shoulder discomfort. Of course,
we'll probably find out a little bit more today, at
least assuming you probably shouldn't just assume, of course, but
I got some tests done. Don't know anything just yet.
Brian Abrady was down last night, and also Brian King

(01:40:00):
down for that game, so you had to get to
know Enniel dla Santo's in the game last night. Great
job by Caleb Ord, who's been doing some great work
as a whole kind of working in the shadows there almost.
And then you get Bennett sus that a bounced back
from a tough Sunday and get a very important final
twenty seventh out in the game last night. But Sean
almost look at this bullpen as you're a victim of

(01:40:21):
your own success because of how good they were early
on the season, that if they do start to show
a little bit of cracking here, that we're like, oh man,
what's happening with those guys?

Speaker 1 (01:40:34):
Yeah, And the number one priority that our guy Steve
Sparks constantly talks on, as does Dana, and we've discussed
it a rested, healthy, energetic bullpen as you pushed at
the last what thirty forty games? Because in the end,

(01:40:54):
if they're not, if they're not, if they are overworked,
it usually doesn't And well we're not there yet, but
hell if the hater things a little longer than expected
and Sousa has to be a guy at the end
of the you know is going to be your guy?
More work.

Speaker 2 (01:41:12):
I mean, it's just every time you take away from
where do you add?

Speaker 3 (01:41:17):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:41:17):
And then all of a sudden, if you're a starting pitcher,
what's your thought process when if it's a long relief
or a back end of the bullpen, guy is banged up,
what's your first thought? If you're starting, I gotta go deeper, right,
I gotta go deeper? So what do you do? Sure,
maybe it's not as free wheeling. It's like you have
when you have a five to nothing lead and you
can afford it. So all it's a collateral damn. It is,

(01:41:39):
no doubt a domino effect. So but it doesn't go
from here from bottom up. It goes from the back down. So,
oh man, we're not starting pitching. He's given us three
and two thirds and this guy's get hurt. This guy
get hurt and this guy's got to put an extra
It's like, I mean, how many times can you run
King and those guys out there and expect them to
continue to do what they do has gone through his

(01:42:01):
you know, a little bit of a scuffle for a minute,
so you go through that. What you don't want is
them feeling downtrodden, beat down at the end of a season.
And I know postseason will give you a different energy,
but you got to have not just an energy, but
you have to have it can't be a surface energy.
It's got to be deep energy that we're good to
go and ready to go. And that's that's going to

(01:42:21):
be paramount here. Starting pitching and again getting leads like
last night. Imagine last night, if you're got a five
to one lead, not a bigger lead, you know, a
seven to two lead, now even four runs and you're
still find a way to get out of it a
little up tight and the rest of it. But if
that's a one run game in the fourth, fifth, sixth,

(01:42:42):
seventh inning, now you're like, oh, then you got to boom.
Now you're mixing matches. What if you go to extra innings?
You got to use extra bodies. It's just it can
become a problem that bullpen can't underestimate how important being
fresh is going to be.

Speaker 4 (01:42:55):
We can continue this conversation and excuse me and also
the school discussion. You just out there cough button for
a reason. Come on, I'm supposed to be a radio professional.
But Heather, John, you want to weigh in. Ronnie and
another John also want to weigh in, So we'll continue here.
It is the Sean Salisbury Show on a Tuesday Sports
Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (01:43:13):
All right, guys, let's discuss doctor Jeff Witz at and Envision. Okay,
he's been nothing but spectacular for me. I always say
when I want to know it. First off, how in
the world would somebody who's never used lasik or never
been to the eye doctor for something important, how in
the world would they be able to speak on somebody?

(01:43:35):
Talk to the people who've used it. Doctor Witz has
been with me every step of the way for the
last seven or eight years. Every step he's been phenomenal.
So talk to and friends I've sent him same way.
Talk to those people, not the one who Well, I'm
thinking about getting it done. But here, let me tell
you about this company. How about talking about somebody who's
been there, done it. I'm seeing better than I've seen
the last thirty years. And if there's anything that needs adjusted,

(01:43:56):
he's doing it. You have the best doctor right here.
You don't have to travel out of state to go
get the Lasik procedure guy that you want to get
it done right in eye care doctor. He's phenomenal. He'll
walk you through it, take away your anxiety stress because
there always is when you're talking about your eyes. But
with the greatest equipment, with his great eye and hands
to make sure that you get treated the way he'd
treat his own kid's eyes. Isn't that a nice, nice

(01:44:18):
bonus we get? And then the recovery's quick, you're not
on the table long, and it's not invasive. All those things,
plus you can work out your payment plan. Get it
done right with doctor Jeff Witze because your eyes are important,
as you well know, and he's going to make sure
you understand just how comfortable you can be.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
And that's a good thing. He's the best in the business,
and I'm grateful.

Speaker 1 (01:44:38):
I am a patient. It's seven one three three sixty
five ninety seven nine seven one three three sixty five
ninety seven ninety nine. You can get him at witsit
vision dot com. Go for your free review. Wits it
vision dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:44:53):
Were vapid for the Shawn Salsbury Show continues.

Speaker 1 (01:44:58):
How they feel about it, and wins enough, Well, why
don't we ask them? We'll start first. Heather wants to
wait in Heather, good morning.

Speaker 2 (01:45:05):
Good morning morning.

Speaker 12 (01:45:08):
It's funny that y'all were talking about freshman and everything
like that and pictures in the doorway. I swear y'all
were talking about me this morning. Well, I have four.
My son is the oldest, he's twenty seven, and my
girls are twenty four, nineteen, and fourteen. Well, the freshman
started high school this morning, so I took a picture
of her in front of the front door at six

(01:45:30):
thirty this morning, but we were on the inside with her.
It was still dark on the outside with her backpack,
right with her backpack, and she had her carebrated, and
I made her pull her around the side so it
looked like she had hair. She had to catch the
bus six thirty this morning. And then when the older one,
my ninety year old's about to be a sophomore in
college and she goes up in Maryland and I can't

(01:45:53):
take a picture. So when they're in school, I make
them pick a selfie intendency, And have you been.

Speaker 1 (01:45:58):
Doing this Heather for all? Did you do it for
all four kids every year?

Speaker 12 (01:46:04):
Well, when my son started kindergarten, that wasn't those three
and cell phones with cameras were not really a thing.
So I had a thirty five millimeter and I tried
to take pictures, but I didn't always get them. So
for the last I guess ten years, it's been a thing.
Maybe fifteen.

Speaker 1 (01:46:21):
All right, when do you let me ask you this?

Speaker 5 (01:46:23):
So?

Speaker 1 (01:46:23):
How will you take another picture tomorrow? Or is one day?
First day?

Speaker 5 (01:46:27):
No? No, no, no no.

Speaker 12 (01:46:29):
The only reason why I'll catch a second day is
if I missed the first day. Okay, when they get
home and posted the next day, No, I'm not like okay,
And even with my seniors, the senior Sunday that they do,
I didn't participate in that. I was like, that's a
bit much.

Speaker 1 (01:46:47):
Okay, So freshman, maybe one picture again at the beginning,
and the senior, but that's it. So you're a one
picture one day or two but one day, move on
and you're onto the next sun and that's good. Tell
the next obviously, if some special they win an award,
or their team wins, if they're in sports, all that stuff.
All right, let me ask you this.

Speaker 4 (01:47:06):
Do you.

Speaker 1 (01:47:08):
Are your kids? They do? They resist it.

Speaker 11 (01:47:13):
At the time.

Speaker 12 (01:47:14):
It's funny, but like my nineteen year old couple of
years ago, Hey mom, do.

Speaker 7 (01:47:17):
You have to pick?

Speaker 13 (01:47:19):
There?

Speaker 1 (01:47:19):
You go? Want to put a scrap book together?

Speaker 7 (01:47:21):
Want it?

Speaker 11 (01:47:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:47:23):
Do you have a or?

Speaker 12 (01:47:25):
Another thing is I do like a senior slide show.
I make a QR code and I attach it to
their announcements when they graduate.

Speaker 1 (01:47:31):
Awesome.

Speaker 12 (01:47:32):
And my thing is, if do you think a selfie
with my phone? It may show up in a slide
show later. Be careful what you do when.

Speaker 11 (01:47:40):
You hack my phone.

Speaker 1 (01:47:41):
There there you go. Don't use mom's phone without knowing
it could come back and get you. All right. My
last thing is, let's stop bury the lead here. What
the hell is your kid doing getting on a I
see nowadays around mind the kids are rolling into school
at nine o'clock. And it's weird because I see kids
getting out of school like four thirty. We were out
of school like two forty. It's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:48:00):
That's three o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:48:00):
What in the world is your kid doing at six through.
Do you guys live out in the country six thirty bustel.

Speaker 12 (01:48:07):
On the contrary, Kirkcreek isod even I graduated from kirk Creek.
I s they use the same buses. So the elementary school,
it well was the added five minutes tier or there,
but it was eight fifteen to three fifteen. Junior I
excuse me, was nine to four, and high school is
two thirty, I mean is seven thirty to two thirty.
Because they use the same buses, so there's a forty

(01:48:29):
five minute window between each start time, so they could
use the same buses. And then like for the high
schoolers with the marching man practice after school or sport
jobs or whatever, they get out at two thirty, so
they have all that afterwards, right, But no, they use
the same buses, so they have to, you know, consolidate routes,

(01:48:51):
and they they allow for a forty five minute gap
between the start and stop of each of the different
tiers of school. So her bus comes at six thirty
because the ten minute bell rings at seven tens and
class starts at seven twenty, and high school gets out
of two thirty five.

Speaker 1 (01:49:05):
Awesome, all right, now it's good because I see it
sometimes like our kid, because that's what you're saying about you,
that's what I had to catch the bus at six ten. Well,
we lived a little out in the country, so it
took a while. It's not going all the stops through
the country. It's like it's an hour bus just to
get to school. So kids, man, kids, Well that's awesome. Well,
thank you for sharing your picture story. We love it.

(01:49:27):
And the moral of that story is, if you're going
to get into mom's phone, you better know what's going
to show up.

Speaker 2 (01:49:32):
Uh, when you're so and your friends are there, that's right,
the collage.

Speaker 12 (01:49:35):
You might complain about a photo now, but later on,
hey do you have my yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:49:40):
Yeah, and then when they have kids of their own, Mom,
thank you so much for building this scrapbook force of
all these great pictures. No doubt.

Speaker 12 (01:49:46):
My twenty seven year old seven year old has a
one and halfs and a two and a half year old,
and then my twenty four year old has a three
month old.

Speaker 1 (01:49:52):
So you know, like my mom always said, oh, you're
gonna have kids on your own, you'll pay one day,
you're gonna see so Heather, Heather, great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
We appreciate your story. Thank you, Thank you, John and Meadville.

Speaker 2 (01:50:08):
What's up?

Speaker 11 (01:50:08):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:50:09):
You got some you got some take on this?

Speaker 2 (01:50:13):
Yeah, you don't know my take already.

Speaker 1 (01:50:16):
Here, here's where I here's what I anticipate you saying.

Speaker 10 (01:50:19):
It sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:50:21):
It's enough. I'm tired of the Every time I open
up social media, I got to see all these pictures
of kids. I can't understand that they get the kid
to school and let them learn that way. I already
know what Jos, Yeah, John, I already know. It's one
hundred and eighty degrees different than Heather. So go ahead
and tell us.

Speaker 11 (01:50:42):
What's bad. I'm sitting there this morning with my coffee,
watching the weather, getting everything ready for the day. Guys
are loading up trailers and this woman, this is a
grown ass young man. Now they graduated from college.

Speaker 12 (01:51:05):
What's a picture of him?

Speaker 11 (01:51:08):
It's his first day of his new job. Are you
freaking kidding me?

Speaker 5 (01:51:16):
Of his job?

Speaker 11 (01:51:19):
Not going to school but going to work? Man, Look
at cut the umbilical cord.

Speaker 1 (01:51:29):
Yeah, where's the cover up?

Speaker 3 (01:51:30):
Dan?

Speaker 1 (01:51:31):
Is that food? You tell me? John? What is the
first day of work worth or is it picture worthy?
Like a kid going to the seventh grade? John says, no,
you see, he can't do it. Huh, what if what
if you went to broad John, what if you're like,
let's say, in your case, you were your dad owned
the car, you're you're your roofing company. Let's just say
for the hell of it. And all of a sudden,

(01:51:52):
Pops retires and he says, son, you've been working for him,
like in the summers when you were not at college.
And then and Pop's retires to the son, I want
you to run the business. You're ready, would you post
a picture?

Speaker 11 (01:52:04):
Then I'm saying the new owner of the company, but
I'm not gonna sit there and as a.

Speaker 2 (01:52:11):
New employee, but the owner, yes, employee, no, yeah, but I.

Speaker 11 (01:52:16):
Mean, but it's just you know, oh, it's first stay
of his job and everything. And I'm like, lady, you
you you gone?

Speaker 4 (01:52:25):
I mean.

Speaker 11 (01:52:26):
And then I'm seeing on the news.

Speaker 5 (01:52:29):
I just don't understand. I guess it's just I'm only
fifty eight.

Speaker 11 (01:52:32):
But dude, these schools I saw on the local news
this morning, These schools have got fans outside and the
teachers are all welcome kids. And I'm like, dude, get
your ass in school and learn something you ought to
be glad you ain't going to school year round like

(01:52:53):
the Chinese.

Speaker 1 (01:52:54):
Dude, it wasn't just them. I went to year round
school when I was in first moved to Californifornia. I
was in California, moved down and moved back. When I
was in the seventh or eighth grade. We had year
round school, nine weeks on, three weeks off for two years.

Speaker 2 (01:53:07):
It's like, I hate it. It's I mean, I hated it.

Speaker 4 (01:53:10):
Well, it's like I told you friends of mine in
Georgia that their kids were going back to school in
like late July.

Speaker 2 (01:53:16):
Yeah, and I'm like, dude, that's way too early.

Speaker 1 (01:53:18):
You do the wrong thing. There was people in school
in the middle of June.

Speaker 4 (01:53:22):
But think about it too, is that it's all of
the days off in the you know weeks they get off,
they get summer break, they get all break.

Speaker 2 (01:53:31):
All time like that, and that all kind of feeds
all doubt about it.

Speaker 11 (01:53:34):
Don't get me started on Appreciation Day too, Oh, don't
get me started. The other day. My team, my my
family has teachers in it. My niece, my two great
oldest great nieces, they're all teachers and they don't expect it.
But don't get Look, I appreciate the teachers. Hell, I

(01:53:56):
give you a discount.

Speaker 1 (01:53:58):
Yeah you damn well do I just spoke on it
about twenty minutes ago.

Speaker 11 (01:54:02):
But look, man, you get paid. This is your profession.
This is what you wanted to do, to have those
summers off and and to have the long holidays with
this when with Christmas and blah blah blah. And that's great,
but don't expect me to. I appreciate you. But here's

(01:54:23):
my kid teaching and bust his butt if he steps
out of life. Yea, I have a good day.

Speaker 2 (01:54:28):
Yeah, John, there it is.

Speaker 1 (01:54:31):
He'll give you a discount one sentence and buzz kill
you in the next. I love John when it comes
to he's like, get your butt school. I'm just making
try to don't drive fast through school zones. Very cognizant.

Speaker 4 (01:54:42):
It's like when I got this job, not not talking
about hosting with you, but when I got the job
to come back to Houston to work here, I did
an announcement and it was like a logo all of
that kind of stuff, and you know, hey, after all these.

Speaker 1 (01:54:53):
Years, people want to find you nowhere to get you out. Well,
there's no problem.

Speaker 2 (01:54:57):
We're coming back.

Speaker 4 (01:54:57):
Home and one thing that I might do and this
will probably be an Instagram thing at Dan Matthews twenty
seven is our good buddy. Matt Moscona does this every
once in a while because it takes away from the
whenever people ask you, so, what do you do at
your job?

Speaker 2 (01:55:10):
Do a day in life? Instant story? Wake up?

Speaker 5 (01:55:13):
Hey? You know?

Speaker 1 (01:55:14):
Wake up?

Speaker 4 (01:55:14):
Now? You know?

Speaker 2 (01:55:15):
Coffee?

Speaker 4 (01:55:16):
This is how I get the day started, maybe even
the night before. This is when I do my prep
all that kind of stuff. Get in and do something
like that.

Speaker 1 (01:55:23):
I like to take selfies of like a bite out
of a burger and not tell you where I got it. Yeah,
and it just sits there on a plate and you
just like post it right, Hey, man, where'd you get
that burger? Half?

Speaker 2 (01:55:34):
Like a beer that's been half drank. Oh man, that
beer looks so good.

Speaker 1 (01:55:38):
Where's it?

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
You're like, man, this is a great place to be.

Speaker 1 (01:55:41):
Like, they'll take a picture of the bar, sports bar,
yet they don't tell you where it's at. Well, there's
a reason I'm gonna hey, it's my place. I don't
want you to bite out of a burrito on the plate.
But there are some in social media that'll it'll take
a picture of every meal there out every meal. I'm trying. No,
I don't disrespect females, but it's usually a female. I

hate to say that. Dudes will do it too, but
something different, but they'll take plenty.

Speaker 5 (01:56:06):
But like that.

Speaker 1 (01:56:08):
Get a restaurant and there's a bite out of a burger. Okay, great,

sell it, bet guard got to leave fifteen Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (01:58:25):
I got something on that.

Speaker 4 (01:58:26):
We'll talk about that here and plus get you involved
again right here. Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:58:34):
This Sean Salisbury Show continues close us out here in
this hour, Ronnie, what's going on?

Speaker 7 (01:58:42):
Good morning, guys. I'm a little concerned, maybe that's not
even strong enough word about the news with Josh had
given the Astros misfortune with injuries. I just hope he's
not going to be out long. I hope they're telling
us the truth, which I don't know that they ever do.
But that brings to mind a whole my whole attitude

(01:59:04):
about bullpen pitching and the way it's handled by most
of these teams. To me, there's a lot of things
that should change. A guy goes into pitch an inning
and he has a great inning, throws eight pitches and
gets out of it. Why can't he pitch the next inning?
Why does one guy have to be labeled as the
closer and nobody else can close because if you do,

(01:59:28):
you mess up the closer's psyche and the other guy
can't close because your non closer can't close because he
can't handle it. Mentally, I just don't understand the way
teams trink their bullpens. And there was I don't know
what manager. I was watching one of the games on
one of the networks, and the guy, the manager of

(01:59:49):
one of the teams, said, I want any of my
bullpen pitchers to be available and able to pitch in
any given situation. And to me, that's the way it
ought to be.

Speaker 2 (02:00:02):
Hey appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (02:00:03):
I don't understand.

Speaker 4 (02:00:04):
Yeah, no, I understand. Ronnie appreciate it. I mean exceptions
and roles to everything. But I would say that every
manager is different, and there's some who want to have
clearly defined roles. Joe Spot is one of those guys.
Brian Abrady, you got the eighth Josh Hater. I mean,
I'll go ahead and answer that for here. You're paying
him nineteen million dollars a year to have that role.
He's going to have that role if he can post

(02:00:27):
and he and if he can get out there and pitch,
and if you've used them, over used them, any of
those things, then sure you're not going to go to
home thirty six pitches on Friday.

Speaker 2 (02:00:35):
Clearly that that's war on them a little bit. And
you haven't seen him since.

Speaker 1 (02:00:39):
And the specialization. I am with Ronnie on one part though,
I Hey, you pitched the sixth, you're my sixth. Any guy,
you're my setup, you're my seventh. Any guy to get
to get to a brad you to get the hater
right and a bray you hasn't pitched it in a
couple of days. But I understand getting people work. But
all of a sudden in the seventh, your seventh, any

(02:00:59):
he goes and go Bango Bongo strikes out the side.
Why do and and had twelve pitches right, and it's
a one run game, Why do I automatically have to
get to a guy who's warming up or has been
stirring in the bullpen? If the guy sits your ass
back down, we're good right now. He's gonna go finish
the eighth inning, and then we'll get the hater, And

(02:01:21):
maybe a hater's had enough that eighth moves toninth, then
we'll do I specialization's important, but I'm with him. If
a guy's going good, I know the collateral damage of
later in the season keeping him fresh. But if a
guy goes up there and has ten pitches or eight
pitches and gets three outs, why do I automatically got
to go to my eighth inning guy? It is something
I've asked the same question a bunch of If a

(02:01:42):
guy's going good, it's like a starter seventy five pitches,
eighty pitches in eighty five pitches, we're in the fifth
inning and he hasn't he scattered five pitch, but he's
going good velocities there. Why do I automate? Well, you
know what, he's pushing his limit? Well, he may have
to see his limit by ten pitches. Oh well, well,
I do think the passification of that is bothersome at times.

(02:02:06):
I do it bothers me at times, because sometimes you
just got to say, dude, you're going good. It's not
that I need more from you. It's just that when
you're in that kind of role, I ain't pinch hitting
for a guy who's played thirty five games in a
row and adds two doubles in a homer and he's
coming up in the eighth inning, but his body's tired

(02:02:26):
because we got to play a day game tomorrow. His
ass is going to the plate for his fourth swing
of the bat. He's hot and rolling. And guess what
he's doing the next day, He's playing. I underget overusing,
but there comes a point in time when if I
can get ten extra pitches out of a guy, am
I really worried that the damage is going to be
done up? You remember that game in Game one thirty seven,

(02:02:50):
he pitched ten more pitches than he wont but still
got the side out in both the sixth and the seventh.
But man, I'm concerned that those extra ten pitches taxed
him over a six month season.

Speaker 2 (02:03:01):
To me that that to me is over and micro problems.

Speaker 4 (02:03:06):
Well, we'll discuss this, because I mean, I do think
there is something that has kind of a little bit
of a counter argument, and we'll talk about it here
as we get into the nine o'clock the hour Ryan
in Montgomery. See right there, you want to join them

To USC trouph, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 4 (02:06:21):
Sports Talk seven ninety Astros seven six winners. Last night,
We're watching MLB Central here in the studio on MLB
Network and they're showing the highlights the last night's game,
and you mentioned it Chas McCormick.

Speaker 2 (02:06:32):
He needed that to run Homer. Nice to see Ramoni
riheus get it.

Speaker 4 (02:06:36):
Going to so talking the astros, talking a little bit
about the bullpen, get back into that discussion, but also
to some NBA news the Rockets. You know how it's
going to be the return of the NBA on NBC
this year in Peacock. Well, yeah, John Tesh, you get

(02:06:56):
that going new rendition of it. The young folks don't
even know who John, They don't.

Speaker 2 (02:07:01):
They don't.

Speaker 4 (02:07:01):
They're gonna find out, I mean, because you know it's
either from the keyboard or him and Mary Hart on
Entertainment tonight. That's a dated reference right there for the
youngsters that don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:07:11):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (02:07:11):
So anyway, they're going to be the very first game
against the defending world champion Oklahoma City Thunder on NBA
on NBC on opening nights. So maybe a trivia question
about thirty years from now the return of NBA on NBC.

Speaker 2 (02:07:24):
What was the very first game us around here?

Speaker 1 (02:07:26):
Right there? So there you go, one's a champion and
one wants to unseat them.

Speaker 2 (02:07:31):
There you go, there you go.

Speaker 4 (02:07:32):
So the quest starts October twenty. First, they're in Oklahoma
City and also to found out last week, they're gonna
be on Christmas Day in LA taking on the Lakers.
So the Rocket's going to be prominently fig prominently featured
as part of primetime games and the signature day games
for the NBA.

Speaker 1 (02:07:51):
They keep doing that.

Speaker 2 (02:07:52):
That goes to show you the national love for the
Rockets right now.

Speaker 1 (02:07:55):
And that's it.

Speaker 2 (02:07:58):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (02:07:58):
So got that to look forward to this basketball season,
Rocket season getting started here sooner than you think. Before
we get to Ryan here real quick, what we were
just talking about with the bullpen is I would push
back a little bit with you know, Joe, Yes, he
does like to have defined roles, but he's shown you
that he is willing to be malleable. Oh yeah, And
I'm not even talking about Joe. He's actually, oh I

(02:08:19):
need another two outs from hater, Greg, I need two
There's no doubt he's actually I feel a little more
flexible with that than our I'm just talking about the
overall baseball scope of specialization. Guy goes good Mosum down
in eight pitches, you know, gets a first pitch, swinging
pop up. Next pitch, you know, the four pitch, three strikes,

(02:08:41):
goes two or one and two comt boom gets a
guy swinging a miss, and then the two pitches later,
guy grounds out.

Speaker 1 (02:08:46):
And you've thrown six seven pitches and it's the sixth inning.
Why can't he come out for the seventh I'm talking
about anybody? Why I means, as matter of fact, I
actually would say that I need more than eight pitches
from him, And I'm sure more do it than we
than just the eye test says it sometimes across baseball,
like oh, yeah I got the seventh inning. Hey man,
you got eight he threw Yeah, nine pitches, got three outs.

(02:09:10):
It was smooth everything, And let's get to the eighth inning.

Speaker 4 (02:09:14):
Guy, Well, why you're not gonna like the short answer situations?

Speaker 2 (02:09:20):
Matchups?

Speaker 1 (02:09:22):
I'm up four runs or we'll talk about the safe situation.
What is a safe situation? But I'm just okay matchups.
But if I'm here's one thing. See, that's the analytics thing.
If I mowed guys down, I would imagine the three
guys I faced, maybe there was one of there who's
hit me decent or somebody I'm faced, don't is there
also part of if I'm pitching and I'm the sixth

(02:09:44):
inning guy and I'm trying to get to the seventh
in it's my time today, get to the seventh inning,
and all of a sudden it's nine pitches and maybe
in the past the guy that I haven't done well against,
or they pinch hit the guy and he comes in
and faces me. There's also a part of me wants
to say, hey, don't you believe that I can get
this out. Don't don't believe what happened three years ago.

(02:10:04):
We're in the now now. I know how to pitch
this guy now, and so that's where the metrics in
the field come in. But there is a part of
what Ronnie is saying that I do believe, and what
you're saying, I get it in a spot of this
isn't a spot of thing.

Speaker 2 (02:10:17):
I think maybe he's talking about that. I'm talking about the.

Speaker 1 (02:10:19):
Overall picture of baseball and the specialization. If I got
a guy that mows him down, I sometimes got to
run him back out there again and say, you know what,
I'm not getting to my eighth inning guy tonight. I'm
going seventh inning goes seventh, eighth, and then all of
a sudden, we'll just skip that and get to the
ninth inning guy, or maybe our closer needs some rests
in the eighth inning, a brave who's gonna finish it up,

(02:10:39):
and which we've seen here as well. So for me,
I think at times we go a little overboard. He's
our seventh inning guy. Sometimes seventh inning guy may get
bypassed because the guy in the sixth was good enough
to get to the eighth. A lot of times, in
my opinion, a lot of times it's through desperation. I mean,
you saw Aaron Boone use that bullpen this weekend. Aaron
Boone badly needs wins. Oh, I see he's and managing

(02:11:01):
from a desperate spot is not good. And that's where rarely, rarely,
rarely get what you want out.

Speaker 4 (02:11:06):
And you get David Bednark going forty two pitches to
close out series against the Rangers so that you would
get out there with the win.

Speaker 1 (02:11:12):
Which is about twenty plus pitches too much. Yeah, well,
especially if you're gonna overdend. Now that's that's over usage,
trying trying to keep guys fresh. That that's not the
way to do it desperation for sure, Ryan and Montgomery
wants to weigh in.

Speaker 14 (02:11:24):
Ryan, Hey, guys, I are do good Man, So probably
gonna get some backlash for this, But I feel as
though as baseball fans, as people who like and love
the sport of baseball, one thing that we always forget
is we have the luxury of looking at it after
it's happened, and then we have opinions. I think clear

(02:11:47):
defined roles also leads to solid expectations. And when you
expect something out of somebody, and then that person I
expect something out of you. As a manager, you want
you go into something very well prepared and you practice
like you play.

Speaker 3 (02:12:03):
It's like, hey, this is what you do.

Speaker 14 (02:12:05):
I expect this many outs. Now do you want to
change that expectation that, hey, I expect X amount of
pitches out of you like you would a starter out
of relief guys. They're better prepared to go in there
and do their job. But I mean, wolf sit here
and say, man, that guy was throwing gas. Why didn't
he keep going? But then this in the same token,
some guy does horrible. The next day we all call in, why.

Speaker 11 (02:12:28):
Didn't he pull him?

Speaker 14 (02:12:29):
Why did he let him keep going, and it's it's
no matter what, we're always going to be unhappy because
we have the luxury of looking back on it, not
looking at it going.

Speaker 11 (02:12:38):
How do I navigate this?

Speaker 14 (02:12:39):
I think the management of a bullpen is highly nuanced,
and I'm never gonna say I know better than Joe's body,
even though sometimes I might yell at my TV, but
I think, yes, there's slightly a bit of puttification in
the league, but there's also been a set expectation of hey,
this is what this is what I want you to do.
This is what we're gonna to practice you doing. And

(02:13:01):
you go out there and you do it. Well, hey man,
that was awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:13:04):
Good job.

Speaker 14 (02:13:04):
You've set it up for the next guy. And if
you want it to change, I think you'd have to
break down a whole lot of dynamics. As far as
Hater goes, part of his expectation from Joe at spot is,
I want you to set me up for my career
to look the best it can. I want the opportunity,
per say is I want the opportunity for strikeouts. I
want all those things. And so the expectation is I'm

(02:13:26):
going to get the ninth every time doesn't matter if
the guy in the eighth looks great. Part of why
you pay me is and I play here is so
that I set you up for success with wins. You
set me up for success with a wonderful career that
when they look back on it, I got a chance
to get my hole. So I'm kind of torn both ways.
But I see the way baseball's play now.

Speaker 3 (02:13:48):
Do I like it all the time?

Speaker 4 (02:13:49):
No?

Speaker 14 (02:13:50):
But I think we as fans have this benefit of
seeing it from the back end of it, and then
we think all of our opinions are great. So I
don't really have a problem with it. And I think
expectations and define a good thing.

Speaker 1 (02:14:02):
And I'm talking. What we're talking about to me is
the the not the norm. The norm is I'm big
and I've said it on this show. In any sport,
in any business, if you do not define roles, your
your organization's lost. That's part of the leadership and precise
and dynamic part of it. Teams without defined mission statement

(02:14:25):
in business or defined roles that it becomes too there's
way too much. It's too big, aim small, miss small.
And I think defining roles does it Now The outliers
once in a while, you may not get to the guy.
I one hundred percent agree that if I'm sitting in
the bullpen, I know in the fifth inning that if

(02:14:46):
it's a two to one game, I'm getting the call
as the closer.

Speaker 5 (02:14:49):
I know it.

Speaker 1 (02:14:51):
My just thing is that you don't have to be
locked in the same thing Ryan's saying about defining roles,
which I am all in on one hundred percent think
Joe does a great job. You also in pro sports, college,
any sport, you must be able to adjust and adapt
as well. Sometimes the norm ain't the norm. Sometimes you
just got to say today, I got this feel. This

(02:15:12):
guy's pumping it. Man, he is pumping it, and we've
got to go get him in. For the most part,
I am all about this is who you are, because
then you understand the parameters of your job.

Speaker 2 (02:15:21):
Now, if you're not doing it well, you may lose
that job.

Speaker 1 (02:15:24):
But I'm with Ryan that defining roles and players knowing
what their expectations are and the team knowing what you're
going to get out of those expectations are important. The
part I'm talking about is that small part of guy
mode him out through ten pitches and struck out the
side in the sixth inning, I don't always have to
go to my seventh just because, well, this is what

(02:15:45):
baseball says.

Speaker 2 (02:15:46):
We don't bunt anymore. We don't leave guys in for
fifteen ext pitches.

Speaker 1 (02:15:50):
And I know the thought is continue to give the
guy his role, but also when we're defining roles, but
also down the road, I don't want this to affect.

Speaker 2 (02:16:00):
You know, is he tired.

Speaker 1 (02:16:02):
I'm just one of those guys at sometime I have
that old school thinking that is five extra pitches or
eight extra pitches really gonna disrupt the guy? Well many
three eight extra pitches at arms in trouble.

Speaker 2 (02:16:13):
Probably not.

Speaker 1 (02:16:14):
But it's more on what Ryan's saying is that he
knows it in the eighth inning, a bray who's getting
the call in a game that it's not you're not
winning by seven runs and somebody else hasn't got any
work right, so you put him in. But that's and
I think that is important. But I also think you
have to be willing anywhere to say, you know what,
I've struggled against that hitter. But right now in the first,

(02:16:34):
in the first two innings, I warm out. I don't
need to bring in a guy on the third or
fourth hitter. With the way that relief rules are. Now,
I'm gonna trust that you can get this guy out finally,
even though he hit four hundred against you.

Speaker 2 (02:16:45):
We're up five to one. I'm not worried about matchups
right now.

Speaker 4 (02:16:48):
Well it's also too, I mean there's guys that they
make it very clear to managers, you don't get me
up unless you're gonna you're gonna throw me into the game.

Speaker 1 (02:16:55):
Now that's now, that's the that's called humping there. There
is no question about it. There's nothing worse. Up and down,
up and down. By that point in time, I've overused it.
You're done. Yeah, if you're getting up as one of
the if you're a bray you and you're getting up,
you're pitching. And if you're a hater and you're getting up,
it doesn't matter. You are pitching. Now there's probably more
adjustments from those guys in the middle that are used

(02:17:17):
to that, that need a live, that are longer relief
or what have you. But you know, it's it's give
and take. But more importantly is what Ryan said, defining
roles in people knowing what their expectations are are far
more important than being able to adjust a half an
inning or two thirds of an inning to a pitcher
who needs it. And sometimes guys get in the doghouse
and don't see the field the way they want to

(02:17:38):
as often as they want to because of well results earlier.
Let's do it Tuesday, Chris Gordy courtesy at Carbock Brewing.
That's coming up right here, Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talk
seven ninety. Hey are you or if you're not feeling
the sizzle with your current financial advisor Cultration Wealth today,
do you spend as much time planning that retirement as

(02:17:59):
you do on those summer road trips that I've mentioned before.
Give Trasian Wealth a call to start planning today. Summer's
winding down, kids are off to school, and you're off
the pool raft because now you've got a little more
taxi cab responsibility. Head down to Trajan Wealth or give
them a call for a free review anytime. So if

(02:18:21):
I told you right now, if you go to an
Astros game or you go to the store and they're
giving free stake away, what are you doing? You're going
to go get free steak fresh free steak at the
grocery store. If I told you, hey, man, do you
realize if you show up, you're one of five people
that's going to get a free SUV. You're showing up
When you say, well, Sean, that's crazy. It's not crazy

(02:18:42):
when you're talking about retirement because at some point in
time you may be in retirement for twenty years. Are
you prepared for that for the length of that money wise,
financial advisor wise? Are you getting good good sizzle from
your financial advisor? Are you getting good insight expertise? What
if your retirement lasts longer then you thought, and you said, well,
you know I didn't need one. I'm seventy. I got

(02:19:04):
retirement money till eighty five. Well I got news for
you when you come back at eighty five, if you're
still healthy, and hopefully you are, that executive job ain't
waiting for you at eighty five. So my point is in,
you don't have to be rich to have a financial advisor.
The financial advisor's there to give you security and peace
of mind, to help you find that so you don't
have to go back to work if you don't want to.

(02:19:25):
All those things come to mind planning that vacation is important.
Planning that retirement is every bit is important and even
more important, so you can continue to take those vacations
in retirement. See what I did there. It's tras Well

Speaker 3 (02:19:55):
We're gonna have to turn this matter over to Sean.

Speaker 2 (02:19:58):
Oh no.

Speaker 1 (02:20:00):
More.

Speaker 2 (02:20:01):
Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety five strikeouts. That
was awesome.

Speaker 13 (02:20:07):
I was all with Matt and Ross yesterday and I said,
I said, what's the successful night for Hovier tonight? And
I think I said, if he gives you four plus
innings of two run ball, that's a win. And they
all agreed that's a win. So for him to go
five of two run ball, that was absolutely and considering
the two runs came off of Bregman two run homer

(02:20:28):
in the second bat of the game, and then for
him to settle down that was great.

Speaker 1 (02:20:33):
That's the impressive thing for me is that the first
three hitters reached base yeah, base hit walk, basic, home
run walk and second right. And then for him to
settle in and not give and give them nothing else
and against that lineup, no question and rake yeah, and
and to do it like he did. That was the
most impressive to be because it would have been easy.

(02:20:55):
And I thought the same thing, Ugh, what's this going
to look like? And next thing you know, we're in
the fifth inning and he's doing his thing. It was impressive.

Speaker 5 (02:21:02):
Man.

Speaker 13 (02:21:02):
Well think of the funny contrast too. In the whole stadium.
We just did a thank you video for Bregman. Everybody
stood up in a platform and then he comes up
and then he rips one of the Crawford boxes and
you're like, the hell with you, man, Like, try to
be nice to you.

Speaker 1 (02:21:17):
No doubt, Yeah, no doubt. The only thing that ended
up not liking I say, you get the great tribute
to Hector Arris for ten years that unfortunately he didn't
have his best, but that you know, hopefully that gets fixed.
But it was a night of celebration. I really was
an honor last night. It was pretty cool.

Speaker 13 (02:21:32):
Congrats to Hector Neriso the ten years. It might be
capped at ten years. This might be the end of
the road.

Speaker 2 (02:21:37):
Make sure we get to eleven. Okay, there you go.

Speaker 1 (02:21:40):
It was rough, but the resilience of the team and
for Javier to do that, because it would have been
easy for him to get like, oh man, please don't
let it be one of these nights, right and start
to overthrow and start to aim as opposed to pitch.
And he did a hell of a job. That was
a aside from the win on the score where that
was a big win for I think psycho logically for

(02:22:00):
the Astros and psychologically for him last night.

Speaker 13 (02:22:02):
It's some big strikeouts too, you know, like he walk
a guy, but then you know, get third third out,
gets a strikeout, Like It's just that's confidence building. And
so he'll probably go in this next series against Baltimore.
I think how the however they set the rotation, but
uh yeah, just great outing from him, and then you know,
we want to see more from him. And now, Preuss,

(02:22:23):
you're on Arrogetty tonight. We got to see you bounce
back from that rough first outing back.

Speaker 1 (02:22:28):
I can promise you this, There's no way on God's
green earth he's going to pitch like he did the
last time out yeah, because I think he set career
numbers for hits against them. Yes, so you should expect
more and better from him. I don't know what it's
gonna end up. It won't look like it did even
though it's the Red Sox like it did last start up.

Speaker 13 (02:22:49):
Buddy sent me a text last night he said, dear Seattle,
we're almost healthy. Sincerely, Astros, And I'm like, yes, I'm like,
that is the mentality to have here. Well, I mean
to a point though, because I mean the bullpen.

Speaker 4 (02:23:01):
You get the news about Josh Hader, I mean over
overly concerned about it, somewhat concerned.

Speaker 2 (02:23:08):
Where do you sit with that news last night's concerning?

Speaker 13 (02:23:11):
Yeah, but the hope is and again this is the
tough part with the askers when it comes to injuries,
is how serious is it? Do we think it's just
he just showed up to the ballpark and the shoulder
was Yeah, it's a little sorry. Yeah, we're gonna give
you a little bit of a break here. Today will
be big from a standpoint of if it's serious, they'll
put him on the il right, Like, So that's that's

(02:23:33):
Today is kind of the day to see what happens here.
If there's no news of il then I think it's
gonna be okay. Right, they'll probably just give him a
couple of days rest. Yeah, yeah, hopefully that is the case.
I know you're a busy man, you got time to
stick around. Yeah, all right, there we go.

Speaker 4 (02:23:48):
Chris Gordy courtesy Carboch Brewing joins us every single Tuesday
and Thursday. We'll continue with them here in studio. Next
right here Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 1 (02:23:55):
And I'm curious what you're paying for your vehicle? Do
you know the average vehicle price is forty eight thousand bucks,
just under fifty grand. That's average in twenty ten. It
was less half or less than half of that. It's
doubled since then. Now lease is a good option. But
when you think about that, the almost forty eight grand

(02:24:16):
pushing fifty grand is what it costs today with a
new vehicle transaction, a transaction that's a problem in the market.
So who's going to solve the problem? Well, I got somebody,
and that would be dn M leasing. Listen, Affordability is
a problem, and with talks of the tariffs and all
that noise, customers are looking for a solution. They want

(02:24:37):
answers They want the why and how, and DNM leasing
can give you that affordable monthly payments. Some banks now
are extending financing terms to eighty four even ninety six
months over twenty percent of auto loans right now. Can
you get a load of this or seven years long?
What do you want a mortgage payment for a vehicle?
You're not sleeping at it. I hope this is why

(02:24:57):
clients are considering leasing than any other time in recent memory.
That's why in recent history, dn M Leasing is the
nation's leasing leader. Fifty thousand satisfied clients on the road today,
with forty nine years in the business, they've withstood the
test of time experts that specialize in yet solving the
high payment problems with easy lease. That's easy lease, no

(02:25:19):
money down, payments significantly lower and buying and turn it
than buying. Should I say in terms that makes sense?
Why wouldn't you call DNM today lower monthly payments? That
solves that problem and that money down that you got
to give to them when you're buying a vehicle, you
get to keep that in your pocket. What a novel concept.
And DNM leasing is at the forefront of making it
better for you dmauto Leasing dot com. That's dmauto Leasing

(02:25:44):
dot com. Let them know I sent you.

Speaker 2 (02:25:48):
The Shawn Salvesbury Show continued.

Speaker 4 (02:25:52):
They're going to get back to work. But Gordy here
in studio with us so quick on that? Did y'all
touch on the CJ. Stroud reaction? Not the not the reaction.
But I know where you're going with this because I
mean there was that that on social media and some
people said that it was very, you know, very reminiscent
of Tank Dell's injury last year, and we know how

(02:26:13):
people felt about that. On your quarterback. He can't be
doing that on the field. He's got to be stoic.
He's got to he's got to make sure that he's emotionless,
all of those things. And I felt like once that
that detail got out yesterday, it was kind of like,
oh man, that's not gonna be.

Speaker 13 (02:26:26):
I was just curious Sean's thoughts as a former quarterback.
I mean, you're from a little bit. You got the
old school mentality something.

Speaker 1 (02:26:33):
I'll be honest with you, and watching the game and
doing stuff you have today golf. I didn't see is
what to react what happened.

Speaker 2 (02:26:37):
I did not.

Speaker 1 (02:26:40):
I was minimal I know what I know what the
situation was, but I don't know how he reacted because
I didn't I was not much on social media.

Speaker 13 (02:26:46):
People were reporting that he that CJ got real emotional
about it, and that's combined with when he got emotional
in the game when Tank Dell got hurt and all that.
And I think it's fine for a quarterback and he
took a little bit of for that too, But but
overwhelming there's a lot of folks on social media saying,
you gotta be a tough you get you got, you
are the face of the franchise. You got to put

(02:27:07):
your big boy pants on. And I'm sorry, you can't
cry over a teammate.

Speaker 2 (02:27:11):
Well, listen, as long as it's.

Speaker 1 (02:27:14):
Yeah, you can, it's okay, as long as it doesn't
take away from the rest of what you're trying to do.
And the listen, he's your teammate. Okay. I'll ask you
this during football season, and I can tell you this,
in those situations, I've spent far more time with my
teammates than I did with my family, because you get
home at the time, you're studying, by the time put
your kids to bed, you're there and present.

Speaker 2 (02:27:36):
But your mind is still on the next day game.

Speaker 1 (02:27:38):
Sure you have. You miss a lot of things that
you try to make up calls for. So if something
happens to a tea of family member, you emotional about it. Yeah, okay,
when I was married, my first child or second when
Danny Green says, go, you know, go spend time with you,
come back to practice, emotional my first baby. Yes, but
you got to shift right back into mote crime. You're

(02:27:59):
getting kid, you're excited. Everybody's healthy. Got to shift back
in listen. I don't have a problem this this macho
tough guy thing that you got to have that you
can't show any emotion because well, these guys do it.
There's plenty of people that are emotional about human beings.
It's like real that you're like, Okay, that bothered me.
It's a bummer with tank deal. That was a gruesome
injury and it's a teammate. It tells me that CJ.

(02:28:22):
Stroud loves the guys he's around. Now if all of
a sudden, for three straight days he's in tears and
can't focus, now, it's like, dude, okay, I get it,
but take the onion. I aty we got to focus.
We got Yeah, it's time, so you know, came now
after practice, Go visit him, call him, text him, be
on top of it. I don't have a problem with
with the knee jerk immediate emotion just as long as

(02:28:43):
it does in Fester. So it doesn't tell me that
he's not a tough guy, because he's not that guy
who's always stoic and tough guy. You know what, it's football.
People get hurt. Listen when Terry Allen shredded his knee
a second time on the practice field and he was
our go to back, it sucked. The emotion kicks in.
You move the drill, but you got to get back
into the rest of your teammates. It doesn't mean you

(02:29:05):
don't care an insensitive and it also doesn't mean if
you do care and you shed a tear, your eyes water. Okay,
let me ask you this, when what happened with the
Buffalo Bills with with Hamlet the guy almost saw it.
Are you just supposed to be tough guy cool? How
hard would have that been to move on in that game.
I'm not comparing the two saying to what happened to

(02:29:26):
Jordan's is saying, but it's still the emotion of a teammate.

Speaker 13 (02:29:29):
Right, you don't know the Lions guy just last week
that the Morris Norris or whatever his name was, and
then that the Lions were like, they were like, we're
just gonna take a knee and run the clock ut.
And the story came I I say, well, the referees
was like, no, I.

Speaker 1 (02:29:42):
Mean, we got to play.

Speaker 2 (02:29:42):
We gotta finish the.

Speaker 1 (02:29:43):
Game, and it's stop it.

Speaker 2 (02:29:44):
It's a pre season, right and we in pre season.

Speaker 1 (02:29:47):
Jes we don't play overtime, right, So yes, there's Listen,
I understand the tough guy thing, but as long as
you jump back in a mode, it's okay to have.
And what are you supposed to say you start to
get tear up because you care about teammate, It's like,
are you supposed to Oh if you cry after a winner,
you're a wuss. If you're bothered by tears in the
locker room with a couple teammates after a championship, oh, tough,

(02:30:09):
en up, dude. Everybody wins championship, So as long as
it doesn't get in the way. Listen, everybody deals with
emotion different, but it just can't good or bad. No
tears that's still or tears, but you got to kick
back into mote. Plus, it's practice. Okay, give yourself. It's
okay to mourn a little bit and be bothered by it.

(02:30:30):
But today, next day, the next day, you got to
get back into it. And then you give all the
love you can when you're away from the practice field.
So I don't have a problem. I think. I think
this macho image that you're supposed to have, it's okay
to have some human decency, but you got to kick
back into your job. That's the way it.

Speaker 13 (02:30:45):
Works, especially for a guy that came battled back so
hard from acl injury, you know, like so the emotions
are even more so like this guy just put in
all this work to come back and.

Speaker 5 (02:30:56):
Camp.

Speaker 1 (02:30:56):
Hey face facts you're also counting on and that'll bring
a tear to your eye.

Speaker 11 (02:31:00):
You need him.

Speaker 1 (02:31:00):
Well, what's the common theme between the two cats, the
two dudes, Tank Dell second injury in two years, Brevin Jordan,
second injury in two years. Close teammates. It tells me
that this guy cares more about than throwing a curl
route in practice. He's gonna throw plenty of those, right
and in the big scheme, of things. So this, Oh,
if you're not tough, to skip BA. If you're not tough,

(02:31:22):
how dare you have emotion over a teammate just you
just can't carry it with you for three straight days,
Get off it and move on. If you're not emotional, like,
probably got a little bit of a problem thinking, dude.
Some guys cry, some guys don't. Sometime I'll tell you what.
Some take that inn with him and that affects them
worse than letting.

Speaker 2 (02:31:38):
It all out. At least I know this about CJ. Stroud.

Speaker 1 (02:31:40):
He's not real worried about what you and I think
about if his emotion got in the way of his performance.
It's preseason. John, he cares about his teammate. Jonathan Alexander said.

Speaker 13 (02:31:51):
All the comments from a few Texans fans about seg
just Droud and needing a tough enough after Brev's injury
are weird. Players are allowed to of have emotions, even
football players, and this guy, Jefferson on social media says, Nope,
to hell with that. Dude needs to be a leader.
The team follows his lead. A general in battle isn't
supposed to show emotions when his men are killed. He
still has more men in the lead, and of course

(02:32:11):
people went off there. I'm like, this isn't war, dude,
that football.

Speaker 1 (02:32:15):
You could say battle, but don't compare at the war. Okay,
people die in war. Here's my point is also is
that okay when they say you got to be a
leader in battle once again, Okay, if a guy gets
his parent, there's his paratroop and during they're they're during
their they're getting ready to go to battle, and something
happens to him. Oh, you can't have emotion there because

(02:32:36):
you don't want somebody else to say it. Of course
you can have emotion, but you got to be able
to compartmentalize and move on. And that's a hard thing
to do. Yeah, this macho, tough guy. Listen, I may
not be a guy who cries at that point in time,
but I'll tell you what. I've had guys that injured
the Terry Allen has you reaffected me, but he still
got to go practice and see Jay Stroud did so
this this everybody's got to be macho and tough. Sorry,

(02:32:57):
when you get fifteen hundred players in a league, that
just ain't the way works out.

Speaker 4 (02:33:00):
Yeah, like I said, Texans will be back out on
the practice field this afternoon and the Astros we talked
about able to get the win last night.

Speaker 2 (02:33:07):
I mean, that was a game, Gordy that had everything.

Speaker 4 (02:33:09):
He had the Bregman pregame video, he gets to come out,
wave to the crowd, all of that, tip the cap
when he gets to the batter's box.

Speaker 2 (02:33:18):
Same deal for Korea. But then we talked about this earlier.

Speaker 4 (02:33:21):
How funny is it that all the storylines that it was, Oh, yeah,
Christian Hobvier is making his return for the first time
in over four hundred days.

Speaker 13 (02:33:28):
Yeah no, I mean that's what's That's what Like on
a normal night, that would have been the headline. That
would have been, oh, we get to see Christian Hoveer
back on the mound and again he was fantastic. And
then probably the one we're not even talking about, Ramon
Eurias Urieus ever you say his name, goes three for
four with a double home run, drives into to run

(02:33:48):
scored match the season high with three hits and oh,
by the way, since he put on an Astro's uniform,
I mean, he's been doing his thing so and that
guy can't even get on the field like cause you know,
he's he's a rotational piece, and so yeah, there's a
lot of good right now. Albeit you know, we're gonna
wait to find out about the Josh Hader thing. But yeah, man,

(02:34:08):
it's keep scoring runs. This is this is the gist
of it.

Speaker 1 (02:34:12):
I got a problem though, carls Karay was a little
emotional when they cheered him on. It means he can't
be a great leader anymore because he was a little
emotional coming back home. Yeah but what but he stopped himself,
Yeah right, because he knew he had he stepped in
the batter's box. I don't think CJ. Stroud had to.
But did c J. Stroud finish the game? Tank Delle
got hurt in Yeah, it's okay to have a little emotion.

(02:34:34):
Football players are human too.

Speaker 13 (02:34:36):
When you think about Brady Tiger Jordan, like, those guys
are almost desensitized. They don't even show emotion. They're so
locked in to winning that like, there's no it's.

Speaker 1 (02:34:51):
Just Cheffler feels like that right now too. Oh I agree. Now, listen,
if you're asking me on the other side, am I
mad at the at a at a guy like a
player like Tiger Woods who didn't care what you thought
that if something were to happen that he just kept
that straight face and was all business, or Jordan that
wanted to bare you and put his foot on your
throat no matter what. No, because that's the way they

(02:35:12):
go about their business. They may dealt with it off. Yes,
there is that feeling of both ways. I don't I
can't tell Jordan to think the same way as Stroud
or vice versa. I don't think it affects Stroud's performance,
just like you're probably not gonna see Tiger Woods cry.
If if Phil Mickelson got hit in the head with
a golf ball and had to miss around, it's like, oh,

(02:35:33):
but better him than me. I gotta go win another major.
But there's that feeling, Yes, DECENTI is a great way
to put it. It's that snipe Kobe Bryant, that sniper
killer at Glarry Bird. But it doesn't mean that that's
the reason they had or didn't have success. People deal
with it differently. But I and I like those guys too.
It's like, damn, can you imagine walking down Tiger You're

(02:35:54):
down a stroke and he's not talking to you, Ay
goal around. What a mean prick that guy is. But
that's who he was, and that's okay too.

Speaker 13 (02:36:01):
We have a friend is a doctor who when he
first started worked in the emergency room and he said,
you had to almost develop that desensitizing Yep. You know,
in a real world, you're like, this is a three
year old kid with a you know, an arm hanging
off his body, and we gotta deal with this and all.
In a normal situation, you would be freaking the hell out.
But you got to put that emotions aside and let's
there's a job to be done.

Speaker 1 (02:36:22):
Here, and they do it. In football there's injuries every day,
and in that it's more seriously. You're right, those doctors
see this and sometimes as a patient would add my
knee replace, I'm like, the doctor here is kind of cold,
It's like, But then I thought, well, this is the
fourth thousandth knee he's replaced the last six months. And
you know what, I probably, just speaking for myself, I

(02:36:43):
probably leaned on the side as a player, as a
football player, more on the prick, not that side. If
somebody get hurt, saying I'm gonna go visit him in
the hospital after but I don't have time. That that
was just more mind because I was you get locked in,
So you know, I'm not Michael Jordan, but that's who.
But it didn't mean I was mad at the guy
who was more sensitive about it, right, right, So that's

(02:37:04):
just who I was when I played. But because that's
just how I like, man, I don't have time to bleed.
I got to find a way to get it done. Yet,
why would I be mad at CJ. Shatt? As long
as it doesn't fester. Now, if it affected his performance
at some point in time, you're in the wrong sport.
Because if injuries every time are going to affect your performance,
then you probably need to play a different sport.

Speaker 4 (02:37:23):
But I don't think that's the case with Stratt, especially
that one. So Gordy, me and you were in the
building last night. You could tell that the vibes were high,
the energy was there, all of that.

Speaker 2 (02:37:31):
You know what else? I noticed a lot of Carbock
Crawford back being drank.

Speaker 13 (02:37:35):
Yeah, I mean, I'm just telling you, when you have
a Crawford Bock you're over there at watching the Astros
a lot of times leads to an Astros win.

Speaker 2 (02:37:42):
I'm not saying they're connected, but they very well could be.

Speaker 13 (02:37:45):
Great times at the Ballpark when you join a Crawford
bock from our friends at Carbock Burwing. And always fun
stuff going on over there at Carbock Brewing. And if
you missed this, they did announce that that big concert
coming up in a couple of weeks with Robert O'Keen
and all the folks that are raising money for the
Hill Country. They're gonna be putting on a concert. Well,

(02:38:06):
Carbok is actually gonna stream the concert live. The benefit
concert coming up on August twenty eighth in the Beer Garden,
So they're gonna be serving some limited edition glass where
one hundred percent of the donations that night will go
to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. Some
market calendars August twenty eighth out there Carbock, they will
have the live stream of that concert going on out

(02:38:28):
there in the whole country with Tyler Childers, Miranda Lambert,
Robert O'Kean, all those folks. And again another great cause
that beer Garden or Carbuck Brewing is getting behind out
there at the beer garden watching that concert.

Speaker 2 (02:38:41):
Well, good stuff and a worthy cause. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (02:40:25):
We want to wait.

Speaker 2 (02:40:27):
Sean Salisbury continues on seven ninety.

Speaker 4 (02:40:30):
Seven to six win last night, five innings, two runs,
five strikeouts, good stuff out of Christian Hoavier. You love
to see that. But the bad news though, Josh Hater
shoulder discomfort, hence why he wasn't used last night. They're
gonna run tests. Let's hope it's temporary. Yeah, let's hope
that's wrong. Oh yeah, height slept on it wrong. Whether

(02:40:52):
that's the fact or not.

Speaker 1 (02:40:53):
Just getting back in there because he's having one hell
of a year and you're gonna need him obviously, so
let's hope that that news is just temporary and you
can always reach us me at Sewn Unfiltered, at Dan Matthews,
h o U, there you go, and at Manny Manny
was late to the Twitter party even though he was
on all the other stuff. We got him there now.
So that's the Tripoli is. Uh has got it going

(02:41:16):
on and probably gets more great comments about the music
than any of us get anything, and deserved and the
correct about it. And uh, we got a superstar producer,
so we're good. My hat is literally off in the studio.

Speaker 4 (02:41:31):
I'm not wearing it on my head, and I've got
it where I'm I'm doffing it right now, you know,
to show salute, right Christian Walker man last night stand
up to take a big spot. Two strikes, You're like, don't.

Speaker 2 (02:41:43):
Do this again.

Speaker 1 (02:41:45):
You know what, I think that Christian Walker has you
on his mind in the batter's box.

Speaker 5 (02:41:50):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:41:50):
I noticed, I noticed I got the silent treatment from that.
That's fine, that's all good.

Speaker 1 (02:41:55):
Hopefully. Well if that's the case, that means they're listening. Look,
you know he's gonna be valuable down there, Dan down
at the end. But we were told and you were
that Dana. He's pretty good eye for talent, doesn't it. Yeah,
I was gonna say good night the scouts Aye usually
works and this is it. Listen, all is good if
Christian Walker continues to do this drivers, especially with the

(02:42:17):
big fellow still out and he gets back, and then
that's great to even give him better opportunity. But I
love this because he is heating up and hopefully this
continues and it gets builds to a crescendo and it's like, ah,
this is the way it's supposed to be. It's fun
to watch man. This team's resilient and a resilient win
last night, Christian Javier. Hell of a job coming back, Spencer,
