Speaker 1 (00:00):
Danny've been in this a long time. When do you
know during a season, like the identity of your team,
When do you know that, Okay, that's who we are.
What point should we start to feel that's who they are?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I mean, we get a feel for what the team's
identity is, you know, coming out of spring training, and
it's just a matter of when the guys hit their stride,
you really see it come to fruition. And so I
mean we feel like this team has a really good identity.
It's just you know, we were waiting on that offense
to really turn around, and so this this, this is
(00:36):
a really good team.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
So when somebody asks if I were to say, right
the second we ended spring train and say Dana, what's
the identity of the Astros, what would you have told me?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, I would say, look, we're going to have a
nice combination of hitting and pitching along with good defense
and a good bullpen, and so that that's a recipe
for winning a lot of games. And so once we
get on all cylinders, you know we're going to you know,
we're going to be explosive. So you know, you know,
(01:07):
just to be at five hundred right now. Look, we're
we're grinding through it, you know, grinding through a few
injuries as well, and so I think this team is
going to be really good and they're gonna turn it around.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
How close are you data in your mind the breakthrough?
How close?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah? I think. You know, we have a few guys
that are notorious for starting off slow. I think I
think we're right on the brink of turning this thing around.
I'm hoping that it's really starts this homestand we've been
playing very well at home this year, and so you know,
we can get the breakout offense going, you know, I
think you know, that's when we're going to get the
(01:42):
multiple games over five hundred. So you know, that's the goal,
is to get this offense going.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
As those GM data.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Brown for his weekly visit here on the Sean Salisbury Show, Dana,
I was able to sit down with Joe before you
guys went to spring training, and what an engaging time
it was. And we were talking about from a rookie manager.
And I remember last year I asked you, is there
a big learning curve for him? You say, no, He's
been in baseball long enough. She should fit right in well.
Bingo and and you know, you're going to learn along
the way like a like a new player. But he'd
(02:09):
been in baseball, so from year one to year two
and asking him about oh, yeah, there's a lot of
growth that happens. Have you seen growth from Joe even
though it's early in year two? Have you seen growth
from a rookie year manager to now?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah? I mean, I think you know, you grow in that.
You know, you learn through your decision making process of
you know, certain decisions that you have to make that
you know, whether it's to you know, play this guy
or you know not play this guy, pitch this guy
or not bring this guy in. There's a learning curve,
you know. You know, Joe's experience, though, will will help
(02:45):
him to bypass a lot of the learning curve. And
so you know, look, this guy has has been a
good leader down in that clubhouse. He's been here for
a long time. His presence is is well known and
he's got big respect here and so we look for
big things.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Dater Brown joined us for his weekly visit Dana with
Lance mccollors. After his first start and then coming into
somebody had asked me and I said, well, I want
to see how he feels from start one to start two,
coming back after you know, all the injuries and how
he's feeling. So just kind of hanging around, what what
what's the kind of the feel for him on the
recovery process before he gets to make his second start.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, that's a good point. Uh. You know, it's all
about how you feel after that start, and uh, you know, faithfully,
Lance said he feels good, and so that's a good thing,
and so you know, uh, you know, I look forward
to good things on his next start. I was very
uh satisfied with his with his start, you know, he
threw uh three and two third scoreless innings, pitch count
(03:48):
got up a little bit, uh you know after especially
after he hit that batter, but stuff looked pretty crisp.
Uh change up. It's really good fast, all's coming out
real good, uh and the sliders working. So you know, look,
he's working to get back to the old Lancefic colors.
I think he's right there on the brink. And overall,
(04:08):
he looked good, very satisfactory outing, and I expect good
things to come out of him the rest of the way.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Hey, and I'm gonna get back to your team and
an overall baseball question because I want to seek your
expertise on this or just your opinion. Do we need
a salary cap in Major League Baseball?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah? Look, I can't get into you know, the thought
process on you know, what we need, you know, in
terms of salary caps or anything like that. You know,
very delicate situation. But you know, I would say, you know,
it's working for some other sports. But you know, ultimately,
you know, we can't really we can't really get into that,
(04:46):
you know, particularly at this junction.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, there you go, and the rules are set. Got
to deal with him and operate within him. Dana Brown
for his weekly visit here on Sports Talk seven ninety
All right, update on on yourn and where we are
and how he's feeling.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, feeling a lot better. You know, look, ultimately, you
know your Lions had you know this, uh, you know
before you know the you know, the muscle strain in
the right hand. You know, these power hitters, man, you know,
they swing big bats and sometimes you know, you know,
their hands will will get a little aggravated. The good
thing is that we don't think this is going to
(05:22):
be long. We jumped on it right away when he
said he didn't feel good and so you know, this
muscle strain shouldn't you know, shouldn't take long at all.
You know, hopefully we get him back here, you know,
within the next week or so. But you know, I
think look, that was probably part of you know, what
he was feeling and get couldn't get through it, and
(05:43):
this thing happens, and and so that the best thing
is to let it heal, give him some time off
and then't get the real jord on on the other
side of this injury. And so you know, but he's
doing well, the pain is gone, and we just have
to let it, uh, stud it heal and rest.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Hey, Dana, is just just to make sure we're clear.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So when we're not giving out any wrong information this
and you kept you're saying the muscle, So this is
a soft tissue, not a structural issue with his hand.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Correct, It's a muscle strain, and so that's a good thing.
So there's no ligaments or anything like that. Uh, just
a soft tissue and we're always going to be fine.
It's just going to be a few days. I mean,
you know, for most people you know who are out there,
you know, when you when you strain a muscle, you
got you you really have to let it rest and
once it heals, you're you're back to normal. And so,
(06:34):
as I mentioned before, this guy swings a big bat.
He's a big power hitter, and these things happen with
with hitters from time to time.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Did you with the partial Jake Myers, We've talked about
elite defender Dana and you know, the last couple two
or three years. If he's the center fielder for the
most part and plays great defense, and he's had his
struggles at the plate. So I'm just kind of curious
with you guys because you guys have held him in
high regarden rightfully, So I'm just curious about is this
closer to the hitter that you expected when you evaluate him?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
And can he continue this?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Can he be a two eighty two eighty five guy
throughout the season applied with that elite defense.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, I think Jake Moore, as you know, two fifty
to two to seventy guy, I will definitely take the
two eighty he can give us. Yeah, if he can
give us, if he can give us a two fifty
to two to seventy average with a seven to fifty ops,
that would be very welcome and right now he's doing
very well with the bat. Of course, he's great defensively,
(07:33):
and you know, he's pretty much fulfilling his potential as
a hitter right now and he's playing a little bit
above that and that's great, you know, that's that that
increases his impact on the team, and so that's very
welcoming for us, of course, and so we hope he
continues this to continue this hot streak. And he's been
(07:54):
playing well for us, and you know, with that big
game that he had, he pretty much carried us.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Sometimes you know, when you're big boys go down or
if your big boys aren't hitting, you know, you need
some of the guys, you know, at the bottom of
the lineup to be able to pick you up a
little bit. And Jake's you know, has been able to
do that, and that's very welcoming. And like, you know,
getting a defense on top of that, that's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Hey, Dane, is there anything different you you evaluate this?
It's been a specialty years for years. Is there anything
different about his approach at the plate or mechanically that
we're seeing different from him than we have in the past.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, I think what happens when these guys turn the
corner like this, they bear down, they get good pitches
to hit, they take the bad pitches, and they get
in good hitting counts. He likes to hit, you know,
he does damage early, and so I think, you know,
he's been getting his pitch and he's been driving it
and doing well. And I think a big part of
any major league success as a hitter, it's it's simple
(08:50):
as get good pitches, take bad pitches. And sometimes the
stuff at the major league level is so nasty that,
you know, pictures starting to strike zonned, you know, pictures
fall out of the strake zone, and that that's the
difficulty of hitting, and that's why we don't have a
ton of great major league hitters. I mean, it's the
toughest thing it's sports to do to hit a round
(09:11):
object with a round object square, and so, you know,
hitting could be very difficult, and I think that, you know,
if we could simplify it, I think we can turn
this thing around too as well.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Dating with young players, whether it's a rookie or a
guy who's you know, been in the minor leagues and
getting his opportunity and is in the infancy of his career.
What's I don't know if tougher is the right word,
but what's the way you approach it? Is it just
individual like more play them every day so they can
fight through the stuff, or rest them more and it's
becomes a platoon, you know what I'm saying. When you're
(09:44):
still trying to find themselves. What's the best way to
do it? At bats every day or let them sit
and watch time, play two, rest to play to rest one.
How's that approach or is it just an individual thing
depending on the player.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, I think when these guys are young, sort of
they take camps. That's for example. You know, he's a
young guy. He he he hasn't played a ton of games,
you know, uh, each year, and so you kind of
have to gradually build him up to that. And you know,
you have to monitor that if he gets hot, you
can kind of ride him a little bit, and so
you know, you you kind of have to ease your
(10:17):
way into this. And uh, you know, I think there's
going to be a period you know, right around that uh,
you know, one hundred and fifty at bats or so.
I think you're gonna really see some explosiveness come and
I think he's showing us, you know, glimpse of coming
attractions and and that's the beauty of it. But you know,
(10:38):
to make no mistake, I think camp Smith is going
to be pretty good, you know, just using him as
an example of you know, and I think you're starting
to see it some with the Simzo you got some
time last year. He's starting to get, you know, into
this thing a little bit more. And these young guys,
I think these are going to be two you know,
corner pillars for us down the stretch, you know, and
and in the years to come, you know, you may
(11:00):
have the Sinzol and left Camon right, and these are
going to be two big pieces for us down the stretch.
And these guys are learning on the job and they're
going to be good. I mean, they both have power.
They both can hit with power. You know. The defense
is really you know coming. You know, camp Smith has
been really good, right, the SNZO is getting better every day,
and so sometimes these young guys you really have to
(11:21):
bring them along gradually. You know, some young players they
come in and they're like gamebusters right away, and other
players you have to bring along. And I think both
these guys were bringing them along the right way, and
we don't want to overwhelm them. And you're going to
see some success for sure, and then they're starting to show.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
It, Dani, And I'll leave you with this in two years.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I've asked you this question a couple of times and
you haven't missed on this yet. So I'll ask it
with Descenzo five years from now. What position is he
a regular at in base? Where do you see him
with your talent evaluation? Where is his spot, whether it's
on this to anywhere. I'm just saying, where's he going
to be a regular at in his career? Position wise?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, I think it's going to be left field or
first base. You know, it would be my thought process
from an evaluation standpoint. You know, potentially those two positions,
you know, depends on how it plays out. And you know,
once once the bat comes, it's got a chance to
be a pretty big one because he's got really good
(12:20):
actual velocities in power. So but yeah, those two positions,
it's where he may end up being a regular. I
think he'll have some games where you can date and
do some things like that as well. But those are
the two positions I would I would project kind of.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Nice having an outside linebacker with that kind of versatility
and can run and hit hunt Dana, it's not a
bad gig, Is it not a bad gig?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, big, big do with athleticism and power.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
We'll take it any day of the week. Data, good stuff, man.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
We'll look forward to talking to you next week, and
we really appreciate your time as always.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
All right, let's turn it around Astro fans right now
is coming home and we got a good chance to
get on the run. So we're eighteen and eighteen thirty
six then and got one hundred and twenty six to go.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
There you go. Appreciate it, but who's counting right there?
You go?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Data, Thanks, Mat, appreciate it, look forward to it next week.
He'll join us on Wednesday at nine thirty. We'll be
right back. We'll finish it up, talk about what Dana
said and some really good stuff in there. It is
Sports Talk seven ninety
Danny've been in this a long time. When do you

When do you know that, Okay, that's who we are.
What point should we start to feel that's who they are?

It's just you know, we were waiting on that offense

we're grinding through it, you know, grinding through a few

going to be really good and they're gonna turn it around.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah.

How close?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Dating with young players, whether it's a rookie or a
guy who's you know, been in the minor leagues and
getting his opportunity and is in the infancy of his career.
What's I don't know if tougher is the right word,
but what's the way you approach it? Is it just
individual like more play them every day so they can
fight through the stuff, or rest them more and it's
becomes a platoon, you know what I'm saying. When you're
(09:44):
still trying to find themselves. What's the best way to
do it? At bats every day or let them sit
and watch time, play two, rest to play to rest one.
How's that approach or is it just an individual thing
depending on the player.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, I think when these guys are young, sort of
they take camps. That's for example. You know, he's a
young guy. He he he hasn't played a ton of games,
you know, uh, each year, and so you kind of
have to gradually build him up to that. And you know,
you have to monitor that if he gets hot, you
can kind of ride him a little bit, and so
you know, you you kind of have to ease your
(10:17):
way into this. And uh, you know, I think there's
going to be a period you know, right around that uh,
you know, one hundred and fifty at bats or so.
I think you're gonna really see some explosiveness come and
I think he's showing us, you know, glimpse of coming
attractions and and that's the beauty of it. But you know,
(10:38):
to make no mistake, I think camp Smith is going
to be pretty good, you know, just using him as
an example of you know, and I think you're starting
to see it some with the Simzo you got some
time last year. He's starting to get, you know, into
this thing a little bit more. And these young guys,
I think these are going to be two you know,
corner pillars for us down the stretch, you know, and
and in the years to come, you know, you may
(11:00):
have the Sinzol and left Camon right, and these are
going to be two big pieces for us down the stretch.
And these guys are learning on the job and they're
going to be good. I mean, they both have power.
They both can hit with power. You know. The defense
is really you know coming. You know, camp Smith has
been really good, right, the SNZO is getting better every day,
and so sometimes these young guys you really have to
(11:21):
bring them along gradually. You know, some young players they
come in and they're like gamebusters right away, and other
players you have to bring along. And I think both
these guys were bringing them along the right way, and
we don't want to overwhelm them. And you're going to
see some success for sure, and then they're starting to show.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
It, Dani, And I'll leave you with this in two years.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I've asked you this question a couple of times and
you haven't missed on this yet. So I'll ask it
with Descenzo five years from now. What position is he
a regular at in base? Where do you see him
with your talent evaluation? Where is his spot, whether it's
on this to anywhere. I'm just saying, where's he going
to be a regular at in his career? Position wise?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, I think it's going to be left field or
first base. You know, it would be my thought process
from an evaluation standpoint. You know, potentially those two positions,
you know, depends on how it plays out. And you know,
once once the bat comes, it's got a chance to
be a pretty big one because he's got really good
(12:20):
actual velocities in power. So but yeah, those two positions,
it's where he may end up being a regular. I
think he'll have some games where you can date and
do some things like that as well. But those are
the two positions I would I would project kind of.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Nice having an outside linebacker with that kind of versatility
and can run and hit hunt Dana, it's not a
bad gig, Is it not a bad gig?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, big, big do with athleticism and power.
Speaker 3 (12:44):

six then and got one hundred and twenty six to go.
