And Wickham hits it high in the air, pretty deep
to left center field. Back is back at the wall
looking up see a letter. Shay Whitgam goes deep for
the first time as a big leaguer and the Astros
lead at two to nothing. First pitch and I'll two

Speaker 6 (01:32):
Well did he go around?
Speaker 7 (01:33):
He did, says Brock.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Blow at first, down goes Freeman. And that is the
ballgame the Houston Astros when they're third in a row,
as they've taken the first two games of this series
in Colorado victorious tonight five to three.
Speaker 8 (01:53):
That is how it breaks down last night's in Colorado.
And with that we say away we go and good
moren ring here on the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
Independence Day Eve, looking forward to it.
Speaker 8 (02:07):
You almost wonder if we have to break out the
Bill Pullman speech from Independence Day. We will not go
quietly into the night. He's wasted and cracked though. Yeah,
today is our Independence Day. How would your how would
your Trump said?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
What do you can?
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Oh, it's July for Randy Quaid is here.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
He's going to fly a plane.
Speaker 8 (02:30):
He will sacrifice himself for the country if needed.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
He's a tremendous person.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Rady Quaid.
Speaker 7 (02:38):
Yeah, happy alienstment.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
What is so?
Speaker 7 (02:43):
What you call it? Happy Independence Day? Eve? Yeah? Yeah? Nice?
Speaker 8 (02:48):
So what was yesterday? Uh, the the day before? I
guess it would be Independence Day in the hole.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
Oh yeah right, you know, yeah, yeah, I like it, Yeah,
I like it.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Hey, don't think about what could go wrong, just think
about what could go right. Absolutely, you know what I'm saying.
You know the cut right I was somebody had something Gardener,
Laney Gardner?
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Is that it? Landy Gardner?
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Good morning, another win just kind of I don't want
to say non descript, but think about it.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Your your gout.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Two more hits, Jake Myers still hitting over three hundred,
many of your guy, Christian Walker. Obviously you saw, you know,
we got hell Paratius in the last couple hitting in
a lead off spot now and then we.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Just do whatever they got to do.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
You know, it's it's ass about getting that call about.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
Parretta sitting at the lead off spot.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Cam Smith continues to sizzle with three more hits or
two or three more hits yesterday. It's incredible and Hunter
Brown gives you solid ginnings and doesn't walk many strikes out.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
I think it was eight when my last count was
seven or eight.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
And they took care of their business again and against
the team they're supposed to beat Dan and I know that,
like that's we're worried over here. You know when you
see something that that word bubble or speak bubble and
when they're not talking, pop up with their thinking that
thinking bubble. Yeah, I know we're thinking over here, yeah,
but painting Jordon, Oh and Jordon, you know, listen to
Dane Brown, which I'm sure we're going to discuss today
(04:18):
about you know, conversation with him yesterday and how we're
going to go about this and what what really is
going to be the end game this year for front Jordon.
But you start to look and say, okay, again, this
guy does this there like you said yesterday, when we
when we roll into and I'm one hundred percent on
(04:39):
board September and you're going through this time and you
look back at your season today, you know, the one
hundred and twenty games, one hundred and thirty games in
at no point in time you can say we only
we we beat Colorado, we swept him, but it wasn't
overly pretty.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
You're not.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
There's nowhere you're going to say that, right, and you
just they just keep you just keep piling them up.
That's sixteen out of twenty. The guy who comes on
every Wednesday, Dand Brown, the gym has constantly said we're
gonna get hot. And the crazy thing about it is,
we're gonna get hot where we win twelve out of
fifteen or eight straight, right, yeah, sixteen out of twenty
(05:13):
if you're parlaying it out the twenty games, and I'd
like you to tell me how many of those games
they've scored six or seven runs in. We'd have to
go over. But my point is Dan is and it'd
be pretty easy to find. I Just when I'm driving
in this one, I was thinking, you know, the Danta
talks about getting hot, his talk about getting hot, He's
right because it happened at this time last year and
(05:34):
in much different circumstances. They weren't front run and they
were chasing the rabbit. Right, Sure, this is they're doing it,
But I don't I guarantee you when he was thinking
to ten or twelve in a row, you're not thinking
of the bats are still going to be inconsistent. And
this is the pitching will continue just to sustain us,
regardless who's doing regardless who's doing it.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
Now.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
I know they trust the pitching, but when you're going
through those streaks, you think, okay, we'll get pitching. But
when we go through that lull and pitching and have
to you know, people starting to get a little worn down.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Then the hitting's gonna take over.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
But in truth, now six runs here, five runts, I
get his Colorado ball is going to carry different. But
in truth, over these twenty games, would you sit in
here and say hitting has been dominant. I'm not talking
about hitters like Cam Smith or paying you who got
a bit hot. I'm talking about just overall lineup. You
still haven't seen them anywhere near their best. I'd say capable,
(06:24):
no question. Can't you know they'll throw in twelve runs,
mix it in, but then come back and go two runs,
one run.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Three runs.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
So but then the but but they win three to
one because pitching's pitched out of their mind. Sure so
I don't think so it's a good thing because you
still believe. And I mean we keep saying this, and
you know, eighty six or so games in you're like, okay,
well we keep talking about that. Man, they're gonna start mashing.
When when do they become with that one month where
it's like load it on our back.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Man.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
We got you pitching staff. You've been doing this and
we haven't seen it.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
May I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Maybe this year's the year, you know, see, you just
see living like this, and if you've got to live
like this, I know every year in our lives we
haven't lived the same life. We may have had a
successful year, but you may have had to navigate the
damn thing different ways. I'm over here, I'm over here,
like where's Waldo? And then the endgame is you get
to where you want to be, but you're like man alive.
That was you know, it was like a pinball all
(07:20):
over the place, trying not to tilt, you know, on
a pinball machine. Phrase And here you are, so sixteen
out of twenty, dynamic and precise pitching for the most
part and capable and they're the at times group at
the plate. At times they're really good. It's just not
been ak. And you can say that about most of
the teams in the league. But you know what I'm
(07:42):
talking about that where we know the feeling of what
mashing is for this team, and when we see it, you.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Know what it is.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
They'll be hints, they'll be keys, and they'll be clues,
and they'll be visuals and optics, but they keep winning.
And I don't know about you, guys. But it's hard
to win. As I've said, it really isn't pro sport.
It's hard to win championships and winning is tough every day.
But I've never ever seen anybody complain about now. Maybe
(08:10):
at the year when we got to get better, we
got to get stronger, we got to get faster, But
I don't know anybody that complains about ugly wins, if
you want to call them that.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Now, this wasn't ugly. This was woke up.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
You got up and you know, wash my face clean,
showered the night before, but didn't shower in the morning,
you know, doing your thing. But I'll get to that later.
They're gonna be fine. But you're still fresh and ready
to go. Okay, you're still awaken, ready to go. Or
you win a day without coffee, still feel it maybe
a little bit, but you're still going. And we're still
taking care of our business because we know this team
(08:42):
still hasn't done you know, it hasn't got their caffeinated
drink in yet, coffee, but they couldn't survive and are
surviving on they have to have decaf for a walk
because they ran out of coffee.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
I would think that anybody with a rational mindset enough
that if they had lost four five in a row,
wouldn't completely jump off the ship here, because I mean
you factor in everything you just talked about. Still know
yord On, still no Jeremy Pania, all the pitchers that
are out, but they're eighteen games over five hundred and
(09:16):
oh by the way, too, Sean, to your point, this
isn't college football. You don't have some committee, you don't
have some computer out there that once we get to
the end of the season standings be damned.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Well.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Guess what, guys, Now we're going to go into a
room and determine who's number one and.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Holding numbers of Rockies by two runs, so that works
against you, right, the Yankees are in front of you. Sorry, guys. Yeah,
you played Tennessee Chattanooga right right right, and did and
Nooian beat him seventeen to seven on one of those
non on one of those saturdays. We're looking to try
and find three good college games, right, you know what
I'm talking about? Yeah, the schedule where it's not like
fifteen games, where it's Noptember twenty five, right right, right,
(09:53):
it's like everybody's going against directionals. Right, You'll get one
snuck in sometime in September October too, where it's like
it's like there's four or five good games, but it's
not that slate where you got. You can't even watch
them all right, and you're pumped when you wake up.
You're like, Okay, yeah, there's some good games, but man,
there's four of them. But it's just four of them,
not it's fourteen or fifteen.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
It's a driver around and listen day instead of you know,
hey and no I can't go.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
You're not sitting your clubtin. There's about two Saturdays a year.
You're not setting your clock, but you're gonna watch the
games you want, sure, but you're not normally on Saturday.
It's like, don't disrupt me from the time I wake
up for college game day until it's time to go
to bed. If you have something else planned, it's all
college football all day, all the time.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
You're right, there's that, and it's the same thing here.
I can't fathom.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
A matter of fact, I think that while the frustration
of hitting an injuries or got to drive you crazy,
I can't. I can't even think about how as a
fan you wouldn't be This is the wrong phrase the
way I'm saying it, but I think you'll get the
idea because I hate the term and I've said it
on here. We're on house money. You know why players
(10:56):
don't even think it's house money, because you know what,
You win one, you want to win a second one,
You win a second champ, you want to win a third.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
House money.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
I don't ever think about that because, oh, house money,
Well what if the if you're playing on house money,
you never know if that house money is gonna ever
exist again. Honestly, we are spoiled here in others that
can't say chief chiefs fans when they go through their
lull again, and it will happen, it will happen, dude,
It's going.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
To be a fall.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
It's gonna be like, they'll still show up great fans.
Don't misunderstand me, but that that emptiness is gonna it's
gonna hit them. It hits theaddle after their legion of boom.
I mean, they've kind of hung around, but they haven't
been dominant right since that legion. But they've been good
but not dominant, and they've had some down years. It's
gonna hit. It is absolutely gonna hit. I'm just telling
you for a chief team like the Chiefs, and you
(11:41):
get to the point where you're like the expectations of
what they're gonna do in this case here, I don't
know how this can't be as satisfy to date. I
don't know how this isn't as satisfying as you've seen.
I know it doesn't look conventional how the Astros you
win or how we expect them to but damn, at
some point you just got to sit back and say,
(12:02):
it's pretty frigging impressive what they're doing under the circumstance.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
I say it like every day or every other day.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
But I don't know if we can say it enough
because I'm not one of those guys that wants to
be kiss ass.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
And they're up to twenty, but this is the World Series.
I don't know if they're going the World Series. I
know this.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
They've shocked me with their performance, and it is shocked
because I expected it to be, you know, over five hundred,
but within two or three games at the All Star
break healthy, and I'm talking about healthy in battling right
with the pitching staff you have in Seattle and the
way we expected the Rangers to bounce back, I would
have expected it. I mean one of those, not a
seven eight game run where you're kicking ass, and you're
(12:38):
kicking ass without playing your best.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
Now to see, that's the sign of a good team
for me. Anybody can play.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
When you're winning eight to two and it's the fifth
inning and you're rolling, or it's eight or seven to
nothing and you got your best picture on the mat
and you're raking one of those ees, or when you're
up thirty at halftime. Anybody can play. I can grab
somebody out of the stands and they can survive a
quarter of it or a few plays. The hard part
is when you're really kind of oh, we got to
do this, Okay, this guy's out, now, we got to
plug this guy in. I mean, how many different places
(13:05):
in the order is a guy like Paradus.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Hit this year?
Speaker 6 (13:07):
You know what a five and hitting four, hitting the
two hole and hitting the one hole. I mean, but whatever, dude,
whatever I gotta do. And I know that sounds too simple,
but maybe the fact that it is simple is exactly
why they can excel at it. Its we just got
to get out of our We like being comfortable, because
it's comfortable you're winning eight to two and they're raking.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
And everybody's healthy.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
But like I say about all quarterbacks, when we said
it's not comfortable being you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
And maybe I got to say this to us in
the media and fans now too. This is not a
you're looking around saying, oh, the way they're winning is nice.
But I think there's that part, well, is this really us?
Can you really do this this good, this consistent, this long,
(13:49):
and not wait for the other shoot of fall when
when's it gonna drop? It may very well not drop
because if you're gonna if you buy into the culture,
then you got to buy into the way they're winning.
And it's just it's not conventional because you don't get
dominant pitching with a bunch of different caps and be
able to do this on a team that quite frankly,
they're three best hitters not named Altwove think about this
(14:12):
are gone. Yeah, two are out of the building right
field or third baseman. Overall, I'm just talking about the
overall season. And your best hitter hadn't sniffed a bat
in two months, and even when he did, he was
not good. No, his first half if the yard on.
You saw this at the beginning, if this was the
yard On, you know, at the beginning of the season,
if you're like, who's this guy and you saw him
(14:34):
perform like that and now he's hurt, you know, you'd
be saying, why do we pay this guy? That's what
you'd get, some saying it we know his history and
how good he's been. Sure, but that's what you'd say
if it was if it was just the eighty game optics, right,
but it's it may not be pretty, but I don't
know how you're not, as a fan, quite frankly, not
loving it. Don't we love the underdar the person that's
(14:55):
not supposed to be able to do what they're doing, right, Yeah,
this team, you're not. You're not supposed to be eighteen
games over five hundred whatever it is, with all that's
gone on.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
Well, Sean, you keep saying that prove to me otherwise, Well,
the third most wins in all of baseball.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
And oh, by the way, they are a game and
a half away from the Tigers for having the best
record in the American League. It's and every and we're
five teams that has at least fifty wins.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Where are the Dodgers at first place, best record, right,
best record in base when the season started. Who had
the chance to be the best record baseball? Who's the
odds on favorite Dodger by a mile? Okay, so there
where they went. We went into this season thing with
that pitching staff, the way they do it. There isn't
anybody who thought the Detroit Tigers were going to take
a step back, and they haven't, and here they are,
(15:40):
thought of anything they might improve it. I would say
people probably had the Red Sox at this point in
time with all the moves being a team that or
the Yankees having the best record in the American League
with Detroit hanging around.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
And a few others not so much.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
I was never well where they were healthy, but still
people still had them as a playoff team. Most people
had the Red Sox is the division and favorite this year.
Look at them, they're like, what forty four and forty
five or forty five and forty three.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Whatever it is. So they've gone through theirs.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
This team was expected to compete, but a lot of
people did him with the division and after the injuries,
if this, if they started the season with the roster
they have right now started the season with the roster
a right on Jordan right now was Nesky out, And
you said, here's the team they're taking the spring starting
right fielder rookie. You know what, we'd have said, they
(16:28):
may this may not be a playoff team. And you said,
I told you that Gordon and that group with the
group's there, that mc colors is going to be up
and down.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Was Nesky's out.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
These guys you would not have picked them to make
the playoffs going into this season had what the lineup
you had now and the pitching, no on, the pitching
was good, but you didn't know you were going to
get all this greatness from you know, Okred, the whole
you know what I'm talking about, from top to bottom.
There's no way you would have had you would have
had them, you would have said, this may be a
struggle this year.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
What are we doing to trade deadline?
Speaker 8 (16:56):
For context, the Seattle Mariners are forty five and forty one,
like I would think that probably spring training, Hey, a
lot of things go. Well, where do you think you
guys are on July third? Probably about forty five, forty
six wins? Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
A couple of games over five hundred and battling for
first place, yeah, or insane just hanging around right, Come on, man,
to me, this is as fascinating and is it?
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (17:23):
To me, it's kind of satisfying.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I like seeing people do stuff they're not supposed to
do at a time when people don't expect them to
do it. I think you can. I think this team
I must say something out loud now. I know that
people are gonna think I'm nuts. If this continues the
way they pitch, they can win the division and be
and make a head headway in the playoffs even if
Ordon's not playing.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
I know, I know that sounds crazy.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Now you put him in there and he's the Jordan
that we know, and then that prediction elevates. I'm just
telling you, if this is who they are the rest
of the year, they're they're they're going to run away
with this division just like this, if the pitching continues,
because there's gonna be a lot of pitching that's going
to falter across baseball because they're going to be too
worn out. Yeah, just give me what we got now.
If you get Jordon back, I'm looking at now, if
(18:09):
Jordon comes back and plays well or plays at all,
it's a blessing. Anything's a blessing. Now, I think you
got to gear up as a player to say it's
a minimum of another month. So we got to keep
hanging on your lips to God's ears.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
Brother, And I know that Astros fans feel the same way, Billy.
I know you want to get in, you want to
join them there Seon one three two one two five
seven ninety seveone three two one two five seven ninety
Just getting going here on a Thursday edition of The
Sewan Salisbury Show. Independence Day Eve right here Sports Talk
seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Let's go on, this is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Something about Triple Bang. I think was you know, because
it's of course you know bang.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
What's it? Puts it in? Puts it in.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
That's that's another one of his go too. Who in
the world would have thought Mike Breen was retiring. He's
in the prime of his career.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
Well, because just like it's Adam Scheffler, I'm trying to
set a schefter. Yeah right, you know, so somebody who
goes by scam Sharania instead of JOm Sharania, and they
put that out there and it looked legit and some
people fell for it.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
But you know, they used to tell you to look
for the blue check mark.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
To know like if it's legit, but now you can't
even do that because the trolls can just buy the
blue check mark, So right, the gold I absolutely, I like.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Some laughs and some fun I do in a good way.
You're making the joke and like, come on, man, of
course he's not retiring. But when it's stuff, when it's
stuff like you know, like like we're looking at serious
issues and somebody puts a fake post up and everybody's
you know, go going after it, and you just kind
of bypass it. It's easy to do that, and you say, well,
check three sources. Well sometimes they might have got it
from the same place, and it's like, what are your sources?
Speaker 8 (19:51):
Especially Ramona Shelburne, Like she's around it all the time.
I think the other one was Mark, which is fine,
but like for Ramona shelburn to the point you're just
bringing up she's in the NBA, Like how about you
just text your producer or somebody, Hey, is this true?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Well, I've always are hid like are you retiring? Yeah, no,
that's that's not that's a fake. Okay, great, and they
because I agreed. In this day and age, you have
you absolutely have to do that. Why because you think
it's funny when you oki dok them and they oki
doki and you put it out there and then you
got to go back and say, oh, yeah, the guy
(20:26):
got him.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
I just don't those got you moments on you know
there you go is are just I don't know, man,
they just bug me, especially when it's a serious like
a serious news story. And I'm sure Mike's laughing about it,
but I'm sure a bunch of his buddies like, dude,
what are you doing?
Speaker 7 (20:41):
She's a primier career.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
You're You're the one guy that's stable on that show
because we it seems like they're the game analysts come
and go. Brain's been the guy, right, he's good. So yeah, man,
I guess that's one part. It's like, just you know what,
make your laughs and have some fun at a different time.
Don't send out a post on a guy's career and
make him have to go and answer eight billion questions
about he's not retiring.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
I mean, she she's a funny one to get too,
because she's a she's a big jay journalist, very serious
about her work, and of course too has never had
a bad thing to say about the Lakers.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Of course, I mean, why would you do. She's around
there every you know, regularly every day. But that's the
case if you're going to be a hardcore journalist and
by the but then you probably need to make that
call to your buddy so you don't post a Matt
he's retiring or whatever it was he put out there.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Well, you know, just whenever you want to be oh,
I want to be first. Well in the case of
I don't know if this is virtue signaling, but I
mean if I did have somebody that was a buddy
like Mike Breen, I probably would reach out individually and
just be like, okay, and then they could then at
least if I'm embarrassed on that front, then he's the
only one that knows about it, and I'm the only
(21:47):
one that.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I wouldn't be embarrassed because I'd be like, I want
to check in with you, my man. It'd be like
my guy Herbstreet, who's a regular and a great friend
of mine for sure, but we're in the same football business,
right We worked together for a long time, it'd be
like Herbstreet coming out and saying, I'm leaving college game day.
I would not post that on there. The first thing
I do is the second I do. I'd like what Yeah.
(22:08):
I would be on the phone texting him immediately at
this time in the morning, getting his ass up with
his eighteen dogs and say what do you do?
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Is this real? And he'd say, Sean, it's absolutely not real.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Because I can't tell you when he loved doing the
NFL and college football because the same it happened with
that is there was talk that he was going to
leave college game day at some point to go just
be the NFL.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
And I'm like, I.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Asked him on this show. I asked him point black,
I said, are you you know? Are you you would
you would never leave or would you leave today? He goes, Sean,
one thing you can guarantee, and you heard it here
is it. I'm never taking anything. I'll do both and
that kind of stuff, but I'm never just not doing
college football. That's his love, dude. He loves he loves
(22:56):
the Cincinnati his Cincinnati reads. As you well know, he
loves it, and he loves all hockey, loves all sports
he's a junkie.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
But I had to ask him.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
I said, if you would you give up one for
the other, because everybody thinks the NFL is the for him,
that was the blessing to have that add and on.
But that's the add on. He takes very serious and
does a good job. He had never given it up.
But that would be the same to be similar, like
what what did I miss here? We gotta get him
on to talk about it, right? I text him same
thing there When it comes to that kind of stuff,
and especially with all the with all the the great
(23:27):
banter we have, Mike Breen does a really nice job.
You know, I would imagine you would if you, like,
if you were getting ready to say, Sean, I'm moving,
I'd say, well, maybe I should text An instead of
find out from somebody else. And you're, what, No, Sean,
I'm not. Yeah, I'm moving across town closer to work
or what right? Oh okay, now I get it. But
on the south side, Yeah, Sean, it's not gonna affect us.
(23:49):
I'm just five minutes away, moved into a new home
because we're expecting triplets.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Always see me put that on you, dan O. One
one would be tough enough. Ye three of them now
and there we go. You got the killer bees on hold,
Brad and Billy. We'll get to you guys. Also get
back to the conversation. I mean, you know in the
news last night. Yeah, we got Bill too. Maybe Bill
load him up with bees. We have the killer bees
(24:13):
in this town too.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
If your name.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
Starts with the bee seven one three, two one two five,
seven ninety seven, yeah, just you're just gonna have to
wait until the end of the line, right, that's it,
No cutters here on the Sean Salisbury Show Sports Talk
seven ninety The seven ninety listener line in the six
o'clock hour is brought to you by one eight hundred car.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Cash listening last night. I didn't know anything about him,
did you.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
I just knew that he had bounced around and maybe
that's the only thing, right, I mean, not know about
his game or really what his strength.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
I had no idea. Yeah, not much of a bat.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
But you know somebody that has Joe used him late
can be a late inning replacement.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
So that's uh, that's that's what I know about him.
What's his normal position? I mean, what what position is
he origin? Normally? Think second base?
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Second base. He's a fielder. Yeah, so I mean that's
where he's playing in the minor league.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Okay, right, yeah, Mauricio Dubon went out to left field
when he came in, so saw that part.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
But I but, like I said, when to put him in,
like I didn't even know the transaction took place, right,
you know what I'm saying, kind of those if you
look and he kind of gloss over the transaction when
mccolors comes back or pain you.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
But it's just kind of the way, oh is.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
This guy, Oh he's here, But we said that about
a handfull of guys shared that, Oh who's this guy
started into a player exactly?
Speaker 7 (25:25):
So I like it. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Yeah, the astro's got that going for him, which is nice.
Someone three two and two, five seven ninety the number
to get in Billy gets this gooling this morning.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Good morning, Billy, Hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (25:37):
I got to start with this. My parents are listening
to your show. They do all the time. Happy sixty
first wedding anniversarying my mom and dad.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Heck, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
That's that's awesome. Yeah, I congress that.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
Yeah, I mean I got my love of baseball for
my dad and watching him sit in front of a
radio and keep score and using pennies on a diamond
that he put out where he can track where the
runners are.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
It was kind of great.
Speaker 11 (26:03):
It was great to watch in a great learning experience
for me, and that's how I learned to keep scoring.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
That's so awesome, you know, man, what a what a
great run that's been. Man, that's phenomenal. Yeah, rats, I
love it.
Speaker 11 (26:13):
And I'm on thirty four, so you know there's a
there's a something going on in my family.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
That's the right.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
I guess. Well, I think that's good, DNA brother. When
you could when you got both those like that, I
think we all would like the longevity of both those relationships.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
That's awesome for sure.
Speaker 12 (26:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (26:28):
And uh, and that's really what I'm calling by with
the astros is relationships.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Something that I was.
Speaker 11 (26:33):
Talked about last night was Hunter Brown took the new
guy fishing on the day off. And I know they're
you know, they're there and in Denver by themselves, and
but these guys seem to like each other. And when
you go to work and and Sean Dan, if you
if you if you didn't like each other, Okay, Uh,
off off the air. You know, your show would show it, uh,
(26:56):
it would come through across the radio. And but it
shows that you guys, you know, genuinely.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Like each other.
Speaker 11 (27:01):
And you know, I see that with the Astros, and
you got the Colors out talking with the young pitchers
and sharing his insight.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Maybe he's not.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
Pitching well but playing well on the field, but he's
got a lot to give. He got a lot of
experience to share with these young players out two Bay
steps on the ball. They're laughing, they're joking, they're having
a good time. They're holding each other accountable, obviously, but
at the same time, there's an expectation to win. But
they do it the right way. And this team seems
to like each other. They want to play for each other.
(27:31):
They pick each other up. A bad pitch, no big deal,
let's go on, keep it up, don't don't do this.
And this is what I see from the outside looking in.
And the culture is what has done this for us,
And I think that's a big part. They're talented, but
showing me a team that doesn't have talent on it.
They're all the baseball teams have talent on it. But
(27:51):
if they don't like each other. If they're not genuinely
playing for each other, it's gonna show on the field.
This team cares. And I really have a lot of
respect for Daniel Brown for what he's put together. And
when I see guys who've been in this organization for
a long time pick up a guy who's just coming in,
he's a new guy, and hey, let's go out, let's
go do some stuff. And I think it matters.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
I really do.
Speaker 11 (28:13):
Uh So that's all I got is morn a bit.
I just thought, man, you know, my parents anniversary, and
I see the relationships within this organization and within this
team and how they seem to care about each other
even on the field.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
That matters to me.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
And I'm really looking forward to a great season, I think, Sean,
I think we're gonna see this all year long.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I really do.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
Somebody else each game is going to pick up this
team and they're gonna keep winning, have a great show.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Has always got appreciates to your mother and father, Dan.
I I think Billy's right, And what I do like
is it sometimes it's okay to win different, right.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
I'm with him. I'm more apt to think that this
is the way.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Do you just do.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
This is how you're gonna win this year. Doesn't mean
that's how you're gonna win next year. It doesn't mean
things aren't going to turn around. I just I think
that we've got a big enough sample size if we
can't say, well, it's it ain't still early. We're past
the midway point. We are already eighty plus, we're pat
eighty one games. Maybe we're past that. Still a long
way to go, but you've still got a lot in
the rear view mirror.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
And the truth is, other than getting healthy for some
you kind of know who teams are now. Now you
can get the change, guys will go on. I mean,
ask Clint Hurdle about that. When it's Colorado team won
what twenty eight to thirty two or whatever it was
to at the end of a season. We've mentioned that before.
Those do happen aberration, though it doesn't happen very often.
We know who Colorado is. Guess what Colorado's not doing.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
They're not winning twenty exactly before. That's exactly right.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
So I if this is the way, this should be
pretty satisfying. Hey, like I said, it doesn't the you know,
it may not be a rembrand. It may be an
eight year old child throwing paint up there it turns
into a superstar. That might be Apollo right right there
you go. But it's still worth a lot. And I
just and I think you can tend to take DC.
(29:54):
I don't know when I'm I'm just thinking about my
life in games or just in life. When you man,
that wasn't the way I expected it, but it turned
out pretty good. And what it does at shapes Chefs said, well,
maybe I can approach it different ways because at times
we all think there's.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Only one way to get there, right, this is not
the normal way.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Great pitching, inconsistent hitting hopes, all these injuries, having to
find people that you didn't expect to have to compete
for you, and they are, but I don't know how.
It's not satisfying. This is a pretty cool long way
to go. But we're you get an idea. I know
who the Dodgers are, I know who the Phillies are.
I know who the Houston Astros are, give or take
a player or two injury wise, this is who they are.
(30:36):
So if they can sustain this, why would he complain?
If it goes like this, They're going to end up
thirty games over five hundred.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
So what's that make them? What would that record be?
Speaker 8 (30:46):
Ninety four, ninety two, ninety one, ninety one? You're in
the ninety If they were thirty games over five hundred,
they would be I don't know, well five hundred, eighty
one and eighty one. Yeah, let me think about it.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
Yeah, yeah, but so well you take add eighty add
so eighty one and eighty one to be five hundred.
So just add thirty games to eighty one and take
thirty games away from eighty one.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Didn't that would that be? Yeah? So that would be
one dude.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Well, you're talking in the nineties, I think, aren't we Yeah?
I mean, I mean I do the math, but the
bottom line is that that would No, you can't that
can't be possible. Isn't thirty games over five hundred? Wouldn't
that be ninety eighty ninety one hundred? Aren't we talking
like a hundred plus wins? I was told there'd be
no math, right, well, right, and I'm normally pretty good,
(31:37):
But now you've got be thinking a by making too much.
But there was a seventeen or eighteen games over five hundred.
Let's say they just play ten games over five hundred
the rest of way, even five hundred the rest of
the way. Okay, so you're twenty games over five hundred.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
Huh that isn't that? Am I wrong? But isn't that
a hundred wins somewhere in there?
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Let's see? Or might am I completely crazy? If you're
eighty two two an eighty your two games over five hundred, obviously.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
Eighty six games played right now, and they're at fifty
two wins.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
Okay, so just add take away two win. Just add
fifty more wins. That's one hundred and two wins. Dude,
add forty eight more wins. That's one hundred wins. Forty
more wins, that's ninety two They were expected to make
a win in the eighties. If you took the over
you're in good shape right now, You're looking good. So
I just you know, here we are trying to figure
out math, and now you got me considered that the
(32:27):
thirty games over five, and I'm just subtracting thirty and
adding thirty. Right, however that math works out? But to me,
I don't know how. I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Well.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
There's always something to when I say complain about to
break down to analyze it is they do it. I'm
sure they're doing it every day trying to get better.
But if this is what you got, it's a pretty
good second picture. Brother, it's a pretty good remake. Yep,
it really is. Well, it's better.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
It's the sequel in this case is better than the original,
or at least in this case for the Astros, it's
their third of it. So just like the Rocky franchise
continuing to be successful, it would be interesting to see
what the fourth one looks like, which.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
Was one of the best Rockies by the way.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
Yeah, yeah, it's that's one where it's all with certain movies.
You go, well, the second or third one was, damn,
you're just as good. When you get to saying that,
you know that the the franchise pretty impressive. And speaking
of franchises, this is one that's done it. And I
and you know me, dude, I'm not a I don't
front run anything.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
I would.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
I did not expect this, and I don't think many did.
The Astros are loving it. The Astros are almost like
Fast and the Furious. At this point, you know you're starting,
you're starting to institute new characters and it's still working it.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
Because they've sucstated a long run and they keep printing
money and we keep you keep putting up wins. Whatever
you're doing, keep doing it. Where did the rock come from?
Speaker 10 (33:47):
Now?
Speaker 7 (33:47):
Well, you know, don't worry about it. He fits in.
He's good Yestathan's a part of it. Yeah, sir, is
no deal with it. There you go. Well, it'll be
interesting to see if Liam Neeson.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
Chuck Norris found his way into side the end of
the the Sylvesters alone work, you know, and they sustained
it too. He's a lone wolf, so yeah, yeah, I
don't know, man, Different characters can actually enhance and that's
what they're doing here.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
Yeah, it'd be interesting to see how they would institute
having Liam Neeson in there. But Brad, a few others,
see you guys right there. We'll get you guys involved.
Speaking of one of the things too that Billy brought up,
do you want to expand on that on the other side,
So we'll do that. It is The Sean Salisbury Show
On a Thursday. Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
With The Sean Salisbury Show continued.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
So Red Panda is the woman who during halftime shows
at mostly college basketball games, but NBA teams use her
now that will ride the oversized unicycle.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
Yeah, I've saying that. So that's her, the red Panda.
Speaker 8 (34:48):
And she's got the bulls and stacks up the bulls
and then we'll kick up her leg flip the balls
on top of her head, and you know, it's like, oh,
that's impressive.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
I've seen her a bunch of times, like on clips
and stuff.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
And then like you know how Jay Billis will do
the ninety four feet walking and talking with someone. He
he did it once and you know, even though it
was an oversized unicycle, because I mean Jay's probably what
six eight six nine, like tall tall man yep, and
he was almost as tall as she was walking the
ninety four feet while she's peddling the unicycle talking about
you know who she is and how she got into
(35:20):
doing this. But uh, good to hear that Red Panda
will be back on the unicycle soon.
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Did she pull a hammy? No, broke a wrist, but
doing no hammy involved? No hammy? No, how's that? How's that?
Speaker 6 (35:31):
UCLA cl ucl is good? Rotator rotator's good. Any discomfort
in the rib cage? No small fractures. Does she have
any what do we like to call that one? The oblique? No?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Good good?
Speaker 7 (35:45):
Yeah, just the broken wrists. My first thing. I always
go to, man, hammy, how's a hammy? Did right? I mean,
if your hammy's good? Seems like life's good.
Speaker 8 (35:53):
I was always in on the toes guy. So quads
were always my, uh my.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
My problem.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Yeah, yeah, you have a pull quad? Oh dude? Numerous
times really mm hmm.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
As a matter of fact, it happened a couple of
years ago the Astros Media softball game. Me and Gordy
played in it, and I tried to open it up
running the bases.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
I tried to leg one out.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
Yeah I did, and and and quickly my body said
not anymore, buddy.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Were you trying to stretch a single into a double?
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (36:21):
I was trying to try to. Do you try to
steal a base?
Speaker 6 (36:23):
Be Ricky Henderson going first, the third us on our
base hit the outfield?
Speaker 7 (36:28):
What was it it to right field? Right field?
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Right?
Speaker 7 (36:31):
So you're going to challenge the arm. Did you out? No,
you lugged it out, but you felt the twins in
the in the yeah, like it was. It was like
a step shelved. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:41):
Immediately after that, I pointed to somebody in the dugout.
I was like, I was like, hey, yeah, somebody run
I can't ye.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
So basically you called for the right hand. I did
so first the third somebody would oo. Yeah, you were
going to see you say, I'm legging this out for
three backs. I mean, I gotta stand on third case,
try try to stride it out and then mark row.
Speaker 7 (37:00):
Play a third.
Speaker 8 (37:01):
You popped up, pop up slide head first it or
if it came down to it, because I mean in shorts,
it would have.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
Been a head slide.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Okay, so head first, you pop up safe. So you
get up, you kind of get all the dirt off.
You look over the dug out and your point like
come get me quad And they had so they had
to bring the pinch runner in. I mean, we're talking
regular baseball this song, and we had to call for
the right that you've done.
Speaker 7 (37:24):
That's late.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
Inding replacement guy had to come in for you. Yeah,
man hurts Dan, But I'll tell you what trying to
leg it out, you weren't. You weren't bull driving man.
You're going first to third base. It to write your
challenge in that right, you play the game the right
Remember who the right fielder was? Do not remember pop
gun arm or? Yeah, that's that's why I felt good
about being able.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
To challenge them.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Nice. Yeah, dude, how many guys come up lame? You
come up with quad?
Speaker 7 (37:54):
His elbow? That a It wasn't a charity media.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
It wasn't.
Speaker 8 (37:59):
It wasn't a proud showing for the flagship of the
Uh what do you elbow?
Speaker 7 (38:05):
Elbow? Yeah? So my two guys, one's got a quad,
the other got an elbow.
Speaker 8 (38:10):
Can't finish and Eddie Martinez when we got back goes
not a very good show.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
Not a very good showing. Boys.
Speaker 8 (38:15):
We gotta be better out there. When was this This
was a couple of years ago. This was after the
twenty three season.
Speaker 7 (38:21):
You got so we had to we had to sit
you down. Yeah, both of us, So what do you you?
Speaker 6 (38:25):
You two can never complain about an ascal injury like
I never. I never had to get the medical attention.
But for Gordy they had to bring like the in
house e m T tell.
Speaker 7 (38:35):
Me, tell me, tell me.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
There was no shot to the to you guys were
get like, hey man, I need to I gotta get
a shot you had they they did, they take you
away in the ambulance to the quad mix. I just
I just I just went home with whatever product. So
Gordy's dig that he was greatly challenged at that game.
It was supposed to be a great time. It was
supposed to be an exhibition. The CEO boss the second
(38:57):
you come back the next is like, yeah, tough showing
on you to.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
Wow, I think we're gonna have to get out there
next year. We got we got an elbow problem.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
We got it.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
We've got a quad problem. And what happened, what happened
to my team?
Speaker 8 (39:11):
There's got there's gonna be a little bit more stretching
the next time we play.
Speaker 6 (39:14):
And yeah, I can see you over there, like point
of the dug out like yeah, yeah, yeah, U tap
tapping the top of the helmet. That's what it was.
It was, it was tapping the top of the helmet.
But I do feel you're paying because Dan Patrick and
I for the All Star Game in Milwaukee when you
were invited to be the sausage runners. Dude, those big
ass things are I mean, I'm a big guy, balanced
(39:37):
and you're running that outfield thing, dude, And I can
feel because I because the balance is yanking on your
it's leading you forward, and I've run it through thinking
at any point in time. Now my hamm, he's gonna go,
And what dan do? I said, I know you're gonna
cheat because I'm gonna kick your ass in this race, right.
And one of us was I think in Italian sausage.
The other might have been a brat. I can't remember
we started off. I look over my shoulder and he's
(39:58):
nowhere to be seen. And I look again. This fool
was running from the centerfield fence towards home plate. He
didn't take that dance like he decided. I'm not evenna
run this running track.
Speaker 7 (40:06):
I'm gonna start.
Speaker 6 (40:07):
I'm just gonna run downhill from centerfield warding track where
they come out of it and stay at the home plane.
I'm looking think I got to pick and I said,
oh he did? She he He's trying to cut it off.
He's not even running this thing. But dude, I felt
the twinge of a hand. He said, Sean, whatever you
do if you pull up lame right now. And it's
if you haven't done it for a while and you're
trying to leg it out. Dude, it's exactly right. So
my two guys got had to go to the bench. See,
(40:30):
you and Gordy can never complain you got an astros injury.
Speaker 7 (40:33):
Yeah you can't. You're not loud.
Speaker 8 (40:35):
Well, at least I would tell you though. It's more
than discomfort. It's like, no, I straight up pulled it. Yeah,
I pulled. How was that? So the ego took a
hit maybe that day? No, yeah, very much, Yeah, very much.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
It was.
Speaker 8 (40:44):
It was a quiet lunch afterwards in the Diamond Club.
It was yeah, damn, you know, like it's the bell.
Speaker 6 (40:53):
Quad. How's Gordy elbow? You know, just to quick? Yeah,
got guys on the.
Speaker 8 (40:58):
I l Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's the old uh.
Like I remember when Demico Ryans ripped his achilles and
they asked Gary at the half so he canna be back?
Speaker 7 (41:08):
He goes, no, he's not. That's when you know it's bad. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:11):
But here's the difference between them and him and you guys.
He did it eleven on eleven football with patdown. You
guys were in what sweats or shorts?
Speaker 8 (41:19):
Yeah, basically basically a Beer League game, and that's when
it happened. Maybe that's the reason yeah, yeah, there you go.
Athletic shops. Some have them better than other.
Speaker 6 (41:28):
Sometimes they go away quicker than we got Broy, I
got news.

Sewn Salisbury usc true longtime friend Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Dan matthewscues, this is the Sewan Salisbury Show.
Speaker 8 (44:23):
We're gonna see you in here, and you're gonna have
a sling and we'll we look what the hell happened?
Speaker 6 (44:27):
If golf does that to me, dude, I just just
I'm done. Just just say that said. If I pull
up pulling the club away, now, if I swung like
Bryce and Deshambo. Yeah, there'd be a lot of problems.
They're even a rib cage and that. But that ain't
gonna happen. I promise you if I did, you'd never
know because I would never admit it. Okay, then i've
(44:47):
I've heard a hammy with a hitting the hit the
utility club from two hundred and twenty yards.
Speaker 8 (44:52):
Yeah, my poor dad broke his elbow once. We were
before they moved to Horseshoe Bay. We went out there
to play golf years ago, and he he jumped the
like one of those It wasn't even a fence, it
was like you know, stone and then like a couple
of boards across and he tried to, you know, leap
over it. The tour got caught. Yeah he did, and
you know here, you know, yelling from my mom Jackie.
(45:14):
And sure enough we turn around and it was like,
why is Dad on the ground? And sure enough, Yeah,
how did that?
Speaker 7 (45:21):
That? That'll that'll get away your golf game.
Speaker 8 (45:23):
Yeah yeah, next time, he figured, I'll I'll just do
the put the one leg over, put the other one over,
and then and then we can do that. Can't hop
the fences anymore.
Speaker 6 (45:31):
We had our guys Urban Champ that people were laughing
because they we had them so so we had them
screwed up too, tried to figure it out. When you
talk about how do you get the thirty games? The
bottom line is, and it's the moth was thirty games
over he had fifteen to eighty one to figure out
the winds and subtract fifteen from eighty one.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (45:46):
So it was a it's a pretty which is ninety
six and what sixty six is what it was? Had
all of a bourbon and Katie Bill and Michael Beck.
But that's what happens. Listen to us and you'll be
driving out thinking, well, I used to be a math guy,
but now I'm an English guy or Vish versus so class.
Speaker 7 (46:00):
It's sometimes the simple mass. It's the hardest.
Speaker 6 (46:02):
See that's the think about that though, just playing just
as if they play like they're playing now, they're gonna
end up. You're talking pushing one hundred wins. Now you say, Sean,
is that feasible? I wouldn't have thought this was feasible
this way?
Speaker 7 (46:19):
Right? So it is.
Speaker 6 (46:22):
Come on, that's ten wins higher than Vegas having for it,
and Vegas doesn't lose very often so, and we're a
long way from that. But the point is is, I
think we can kind of enjoy the run. I kind
of like a little organized chaos, and that's what this
feels like to me. Doesn't bother me, And I know
we're going to get to yord On that does and
(46:43):
I am concerned about can you survive at how serious
we'll it be at the trade deadline. We'll see what happens.
But if the news isn't upbeating forty forty eight hours
that day expected, maybe by the weekend they'll have answers
from the specialist. And by the way, they did see
a specialist three, so this isn't the first specialist, so
a lot of different people seeing it in a lot of
(47:04):
different ways with him, So hopefully they can get to
the bottom of it. But tell me, you wouldn't if
I told you the entire lineup, as I've said before,
you'd take the record. Now if I said, hey, Bregman's hitting,
you know it's an all star. Tucker's an all star,
Jordan's in a lineup, and mccullars and Garcia and Javier
just those guys are healthy. With this team, we have
now here in Houston and I said they're gonna win
(47:27):
ninety six games, would you say that's a hell of
a season.
Speaker 8 (47:29):
I'd say they'd be about ten games over five hundred
right now.
Speaker 6 (47:33):
And if I said they're going to get to clothes,
they're going to between ninety five and one hundred wins.
If I said that, you would take it correct. I've
with that with that team. This team's on that pace,
and none of those guys that I just named are
playing here or on the roster because they're hurt me.
Speaker 8 (47:50):
It's an understanding of your expectations, and it's in it.
It's an execution of the expectations. That's what the astros
have been able to do. So they always say, aren't
you always say? I mean, the good teams are prepared
for whatever you Basically you throw it, then whatever happens,
it never goes the way you expect it. Well, there's
a difference between teams and organizations slash programs programs.
Speaker 7 (48:11):
In college, for the most part, this.
Speaker 6 (48:12):
Has become it's almost like a feeder program from junior
high to high school. Oh, those great junior high plays
are automatically coming to our so they know the system.
They're good right, you've been running it since you're in
the third grade, and now you get to the high
school and you run the same system. So we're not
worried about the verbal part. You got that down. The
metal part. Now just execute same thing here. There's a
lot of great players. Oh you finally made it to
the Biggs. Well, here's what we do here, right, Oh
(48:33):
Bregman's not playing, well, then Paridis you go in and
be if not, if not for everyday places in truth,
if not for Pania, Paradis has been this team's MVP
all around as an everyday player, especially home runs in
RBI wall. That's what I'm saying, and at a time
when you've needed him, that's right. And he's been versatile
enough that you've got the guy hitting lead off. Now
that's the what we're at. Three or four different players
(48:54):
now who hit in that spot this year. Now, some
people are not the biggest fee of Paradis in the
leadoff spot. Well, it's but my point is that he's not.
He just jumps up in there and gets two more hits. Man,
I like him there. Joe Aspata puts him there, and
think the reason why he puts about on the ball
and he's selective, puts together a good app bat There
you go.
Speaker 8 (49:11):
Who by the way, speaking of the man who coined that, well,
I mean he didn't coin it, but he just makes
yeah for fun. Happy belated birthday, Oh, Sparks, Happy birthday, Sparks.
Speaker 7 (49:19):
Cheers brother.
Speaker 8 (49:21):
I did tell him last night. I said, I'm not
saying it, but happy birthday, and I.
Speaker 6 (49:25):
Said cheers on perfect because he said it to you
because you were talking about cheers. It's so disingenuous, right,
He's the best, the best. Congrats and happy birthday brother.
Speaker 7 (49:34):
For sure. Brad wants to weigh and Brad appreciate it.
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (49:38):
Real quick?
Speaker 15 (49:39):
Real quick? Thanks for the props on the killer bees.
But if I had to go a killer be it
be the double square one Bobby Bonia to catch that
one point seven five million on a birthday?
Speaker 7 (49:47):
No, that's right?
Speaker 6 (49:49):
Yeah, for for about eleven or twelve more years too,
whatever that is.
Speaker 15 (49:52):
Twenty thirty five is what I saw. I might be wrong,
but wouldn't he won the original that took me the third?
Speaker 6 (49:57):
I mean, oh yeah, was good Dennis Gilbert as his
agent yep, okay, yeah.
Speaker 15 (50:03):
And real quick, I love the show.
Speaker 4 (50:05):
Because it just brings up memories.
Speaker 15 (50:07):
You know, you're the forty nine year old dad coaching
your son's litle league football team. You're running scout defense,
and y'all talking about the muscle pulls and it's never
going to happen on a kid pushing to two bills
in sixth grade, gonna touch me, It's not gonna happen.
But when you spin around to try to run the
vier on these kids and you go down, all of
(50:27):
love and get you. So back to the some of
the stuff that guy Billy I think was talking about,
and I'm gonna kind of piggyback off that this team,
each team has an identity every year and this you
know after action what type of team we had. And
you look at some of this, it's you always hear
the one of the ie, get them on, get them over,
get them in. That's the team we have. This team
(50:49):
is becoming the resilient team. The next man up. Now,
y'all brought up if we go fifty win fifty, I
think the division's over September the fifth.
Speaker 4 (51:00):
I mean, we win and we get the young guys
to play.
Speaker 15 (51:03):
However, we're watching the young guys play now now you
start looking at trade next year, you start looking at
issues with Hunter Brown on his contract here.
Speaker 4 (51:13):
I mean, if we go fifty good at night.
Speaker 15 (51:16):
This guy could be you know, Cy Young and now
you're looking at trying to pay him. So great problems
to have. I'll hang up and listen. Have a great
holiday weekend. God bless you guys.
Speaker 7 (51:28):
Thanks again, same to you, Brad. Appreciate him now. Depth
is a great thing.
Speaker 8 (51:32):
And that's the thing too, Sean, that you mean, in
my wildest dreams, I did not see this playing out
this way because of all the things we've heard. You
don't have the minor league system you used to have,
you don't have the functional depth that you used to have,
but you're creating it. I mean, Shaye Wickham last night,
Homer's a guy that for the most part has been
(51:53):
a four A player, and he's not going to be
somebody that's going to be, you know, a huge impact
player to your future plans. But at least you somebody
that you call on. They're doing their job. Cooper Hummel
a couple of hits last night out of him. Same deal.
Mauricio Dubon, how many times do you ask Mauricio d Bond, Hey,
a little bit more out of you, and he says,
all right, where do you need me?
Speaker 7 (52:12):
Short stop? Second Bates left field? Think I got you.
Speaker 6 (52:15):
Think about that list you've just started with Dan amazing,
and we can we can extend that list, can we?
You can go to this guy, you can go to Gordon,
you can go I mean the list is pretty extensive.
And how many of them this year have you said?
What a major disappointment. I know Walker's had his struggles,
but who of those guys? But you expected Walker, We're
(52:36):
getting this production from guys you didn't expect to produce it.
Speaker 7 (52:39):
Well that twenty three so a couple more, well, didn't
you want your tone?
Speaker 6 (52:44):
Didn't you give me the statistics about him and Colorado
and then Dodgers about hit two of the best, two
of the best times he's at bats. He's had or
at least two teams over the course of his career,
Colorado on the Dodgers. And if that's what springsboard, springboards
him in to getting on a roll, well, he's got
six games to do it, and he's already two in
and he's played he's.
Speaker 7 (53:05):
Got hits in both.
Speaker 8 (53:06):
Be nice to see this continue and hopefully it does.
And Jan Diaz with a couple of hits last night,
so you'd like to see him keep it going too.
From the b's we go to the a's. Alex, see
you right there. We'll get you involved. You want to
join Alex on the phone line seven one three two
one two five seven ninety can at seven one three
two one two five seven ninety. But also coming up
here on the show. If you do it this way
(53:30):
on Independence Day, well don't say I didn't say you're
doing it wrong, because others have. We'll talk about it here.
It is a Sean Salisbury Show. Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 4 (53:40):
By you're back.
Speaker 7 (53:42):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 4 (53:44):
Get back at it all right, Sean.
Speaker 7 (53:50):
What are you hearing out there now?
Speaker 2 (53:52):
The Salisbury's takeout?
Speaker 16 (53:54):
Salisbury's takeout on the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 7 (54:13):
It is Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 8 (54:15):
Sports Soccer seven to ninety Astros five three winners last
night over the Rockies in Denver, Mike Breen not retiring
despite a scam account out there saying that he was.
And US Men's Soccer takes down Guatemala's two to one
and sets up them against Mexico Gold Cup final Sunday
here in Houston. Before we get to the steakeout, Alex
(54:37):
wants to wait in this morning, Alex, good morning.
Speaker 9 (54:42):
Hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 17 (54:43):
Love to show the first time caller.
Speaker 1 (54:45):
I just wanted to say that.
Speaker 12 (54:48):
The Houston.
Speaker 17 (54:51):
Really it amazes me how and Sparky said it. I
mean the culture from a two bay, you know, talking
to everybody. I think this starts with the leadership. And
I think that I would rather have this culture. I
was just thinking about it this morning, people coming in
and wanting to show their worth and having these different
(55:11):
pictures that we have no idea that are pitching great
to these hitters that are coming up and coming in
touch sometimes and and and I would rather have this
culture with this leadership than the culture of buying and defurrying,
you know, contracts from other cities like Los Angeles, or
(55:33):
getting all these contracts, you know, spending billions of dollars
to like New York is or the Mets or something.
I would rather have this culture where people come in
like y'all were mentioned and doing great things with this
team knowing but this.
Speaker 9 (55:48):
Team is all about and.
Speaker 17 (55:50):
What we do here. And I'm starting to love the
culture on all the teams from the Rockets coming in
trading pergrat from already with the Texans. You know the
culture on the dispactual specific I love it and I
feel like I can continue for a long office.
Speaker 7 (56:08):
Hey, appreciate the call, Alex.
Speaker 8 (56:10):
I mean we're pretty fortunate here and we've talked about
it on the pro side, but I mean even think
about it too, Sean from the college side, Kelvin Sampson,
it's a in some cases you wait your turn, or
it's a hey, I only play a handful of guys,
so if I play you, well, then you know what
you got to do. Like I've talked about it before
and I've mentioned it here on air. What always would
crack me up is if there was a defensive breakdown,
(56:32):
Kelvin Sampson's not yelling out to the floor, he turns
around to the guys on the bench and starts yelling
as basically a Hey, that's why you're not on the floor.
And I'll tell you this that those guys of the bitch.
While he's talking to them, the guy on the court
knows I'm probably coming over there to sit next to him.
I didn't do what I didn't hustle and dive on
the floor. I didn't do it, and it's not a
personal thing. It's just this is how we do it here.
(56:53):
Come on over here and think about it now somebody
else and once you continue and you don't waver from that.
Successful and Kelvin Sampson's the lead dog when it comes
to that in this town and as good as anybody
across the country and any sport at any level of
I use the term all the time of getting by
in that you're not offended when he corrects you because
(57:14):
there's love. And I know that sounds cheesy, but there's
love that surrounds it, and it is true with him.
I can tell you that for a fact.
Speaker 6 (57:21):
When I say, guys coach talk about all the time
I love my kids, meaning I'm not. They're players right,
he does. And love doesn't always mean ass kissing or enabling.
Sometimes love means and he doesn't treat him all the same.
What I mean by that is rules are set for everybody,
(57:42):
but some guy may need it, reacts better to an
arm around him. Another guy's tough as hell and grew
up in some tough times. That adversity and going through
that is the norm and they thrive knows how to
treat that guy. I just think that we could all
sit back and you talk about a round table. Let
me have that guy sitting at a round table with
some other I'd like to get him and like Frank
(58:04):
Martin and you know a bass college basketball coach say okay,
now you're at a different time. How do we do
that and have them Hell, I'd love to have a
Spota Dumico, ryans Ema Udoka, Kelvin Sampson and Willie Fritz
and nobody take my idea. You heard it here first,
sitting in a round table and roll camera for an
hour just about culture? What's in? What have you done wrong?
(58:28):
What are the regrets of your career? How do you
make your team better? Does it fall on you or there?
How are you teaching? How do you not leave somebody
behind when somebody doesn't catch up as quick? It's the
season and we got to roll on, got to keep
up all those things. And we do have it here
in the Astros. I challenge anybody. And I am I
mean serious about this because you know I don't have
problem with harsh opinion.
Speaker 7 (58:49):
I like it.
Speaker 6 (58:49):
I actually like the banter when somebody opens up our
mind to think about something different without Just because you
live here doesn't mean you can't criticize, or just because
you don't live here doesn't mean you can't compliment teams.
I want to know in this town from people who
in this is a baseball the baseball loving town here
in an Astros love in town.
Speaker 7 (59:08):
Who in this town, dan is I'm not disappointed with.
Speaker 6 (59:12):
I'm not talking about the stuff that disappoints every day
guy struck out three times game to game. I'm give
me the overall body of work this year, considering the circumstances.
Speaker 7 (59:21):
Somebody call me in. Call in and tell me you're disappointed.
Speaker 6 (59:23):
Not that you're disappointed in Christian Walker's average, or that
you're disappointed in the way injuries recovery.
Speaker 7 (59:28):
Those things are obvious. We see him.
Speaker 6 (59:30):
But I need somebody to tell me why this season's
not satisfying for them to date. I want to know,
And I'm benscious cause I'd like to get their perspective
on understanding at eighteen games over over five hundred and
sitting in first place, what's wrong?
Speaker 7 (59:47):
Well, Shawn, they got to get better. I know where
they got to give it.
Speaker 6 (59:50):
I'm just talking about just your overall feel good or
not feel good. If you're not feeling good, I know
there's things that need improve, but why are you not?
You would be loving this team if everybody was healthy
and the batting averagers were all the same, think about it,
You'd be critical. Christian Walker's got to hit more than
two twenty four, two thirty five.
Speaker 7 (01:00:09):
I get that, right.
Speaker 6 (01:00:10):
But if all the bodies were healthy and they were
playing and this was the result you were getting. And
we are sitting here now, you know, a couple of
weeks away from an All Star game, would you look
at me and say this is a World Series team?
You absolutely would. Why isn't it now?
Speaker 7 (01:00:29):
You know why?
Speaker 6 (01:00:30):
Because the fear that the other the other shoe is
going to drop and somebody that injuries are going to
catch up to them, and that Yourdon's not going to
play in all the negative and I get it, but
I can't fathom that anybody out there, even with this roster,
if it was completely healthy and nobody left during the
offseason and we are saying here's their record at this time,
there's no way you can walk out of the same. Oh,
(01:00:51):
they're not a world see. You would unequivocally say they're
a World Series type team. The only thing stopping is
the names are different and it doesn't look the same.
And since it doesn't look the same, word, we all
have it. I say it every day, like, man, can
they continue this?
Speaker 7 (01:01:05):
Can this pitching.
Speaker 6 (01:01:06):
Staff continue to Can Hunter Brown continue to do this?
Can the bullpen? And here we are? What tells you
they can't? I can tell you the things that they can.
Speaker 8 (01:01:14):
What tells you they can't, Well, it's also too, I mean,
evolution has to play into it. I mean the example
that comes to mind for me is the Alabama Dynasty
twenty tens. At the beginning of it, what were they?
They were defense? They mauled you up front, they ran
the football and one seventeen to ten. And then towards
the end of it, what were they? They threw the
football like nobody's business and would put up a ton
(01:01:36):
of points.
Speaker 6 (01:01:36):
Well, that also is a tribute to Nick Saban in
the way he went about it. Nick Saban, I'm telling
you now, as sure as I'm standing here now, hated
the fact that Lane Kiff and Steve Sarkisiana had to
do what they did offensively, loved it, but he bought
in Nick. Nick Saban would have never hired those guys
when he first started it. We're winning seventeen to thirteen.
We're going to play defense and we'll get the last possession.
We'll physically wear them out. That was who he is.
(01:01:58):
Then he goes there and I'm just telling you, oh,
Lane's doing all these forms, driving Lane, Lane, driving his
ass nuts on the sideline, because Lane's innovative and all
over the place and learning. And it's like, but Nick's
this is the way we got to win. We got
this quarterback, we got Bryce Young, and we got you know,
Steve Starkeys and Lane Kivin. Oh that, because that's not
how Nick did it. But he sets back and realizes
(01:02:20):
the game's changed and I have to evolve.
Speaker 7 (01:02:22):
And he did.
Speaker 6 (01:02:23):
The last thing Nick Saban had in mind when he
became a head football coach that he wanted to throw
it thirty eight times and score forty five. Ouh.
Speaker 7 (01:02:30):
That's fine and dandy. But Nick came into the league.
Speaker 6 (01:02:32):
Thinking we're gonna play defense, we're gonna be more physically,
we're gonna run the football. My quarterback is gonna go
fifteen of twenty. We're not going to turn over and
we beat you. And at the end of the game,
he didn't care how it looked as long as his
DB's weren't giving up big plays, because that's his baby.
I was gonna say, yeah, if you played poorly there,
then you got other problems. The toughest guy on the staff, though,
the guy who gets the biggest raft, the defensive backfield
(01:02:53):
coach for the Alabama, when Nick's coaching more than anybody
player or coach on that roster, because he was coaching
alongside question and that's how he cut his teeth right
the defensive bank.
Speaker 7 (01:03:02):
This is what we got to do. But Nick, he
didn't want this.
Speaker 6 (01:03:06):
Now you evolveds say, because I could, I could imagine
Nick said, and they want to pull us out, we
got to throw it. Do you really have to throw
it backed up your own three? Yeah, well we're up ten. Yeah,
And then he throws a ninety seven yard touchdags, Oh
I got it, you know, it says like, don't do Oh,
what a great throw, and then you walk to the
other end, so you can't quite tell him how great
it was. Nick did He didn't. Nick wasn't about pretty.
(01:03:29):
He was about dominating you physically and playing great defense.
Speaker 8 (01:03:32):
It's the old don't complain about the rules, make the
rules work for you, right is I mean, you know,
for him with hurry up offenses. He was one of
the most vocal opponents of it, of saying, you know,
this is bad for the game, all of that, and
then he started doing it and people are like, well,
that's kind of hypocritical, right, He's like, well, it's a rule. Yeah,
and that's what I got better athletes than you say, Yeah,
I'll do it, and I've hired coordinators that it will
exploit that. Yeah, and so what Mike Krzyzewski Kazhevski was
(01:03:54):
never a one and done guy, hated it.
Speaker 7 (01:03:57):
Yeah, absolutely, it was not you there.
Speaker 6 (01:03:58):
You were going to go to Duke and your staying
for four years and you're playing basketball late and or
in granted, but that was pre all the stuff guys lead.
But we're playing to your senior You're Frank Kaminski at Wisconsin, right,
could have left it, but boom, you're a Gonzaga. Wh
who's the big fellow Gazaga. Feel like he was there
with the head band, the white boy who's finally in me?
Speaker 7 (01:04:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:04:15):
Yeah, right? With Timmy, I felt like he was there
since he was twelve, right, but stay there the whole time,
that same kind of culture. But that's you're exactly right.
Shrzyzewski hated it. Well, he watched this Calipari every year
recruiting seven five star guys that are one and done
in your sixth man's getting drafted in the first round.
It's like, well, to keep up, I started to do
and what do you do?
Speaker 4 (01:04:36):
Now?
Speaker 6 (01:04:37):
Started doing it and guys go and you start to
get different recruits, and guess who's back on top. She
had challenging for a national title every year, Duke, and
Shrzyzewski's not even there anymore. So you got to buy
in and evolve. And if you don't, and this team's evolved.
Joe Spota has a great way of getting guys to
do stuff that they may not have thought they could do.
And I mean that that's a or maybe they did,
but he just brought it out. It's good. I'll take
(01:04:59):
this matter of fact. This is more satisfying than a
team I expected to win ninety five games. This would
be because of their overachievment. But here's what happens with
overachievers is they start to believe that they're really good,
and they're no longer overachievers. This is just who they are.
And you find gems when guys get hurt. That's why
(01:05:20):
always you leave your glove on the mound, somebody else
come out and pick it up.
Speaker 7 (01:05:23):
Don't kid yourself.
Speaker 6 (01:05:23):
And I don't know him from Adam other than what
I watch and listen to an interview, but I'm intrigued
with his way he approaches his days. Cam Smith, don't
kid yourself one bit. Now he doesn't let it be
a distraction. But from my vantage point knowing athletes, you
think he wanted to go out there and play right
field and have everybody say, man, we sure shouldn't have
given up.
Speaker 7 (01:05:42):
Kyle Tucker, don't kid yourself.
Speaker 6 (01:05:43):
There's that part of I want to prove to the
world not only I can play and focus on my job,
but there's that when you're sitting at home by yourself
watching TV, thinking.
Speaker 7 (01:05:53):
I can do it, Kyle.
Speaker 6 (01:05:54):
Not not in a negative way or an arrogant way,
but they start to believe it, and you know that
there's that extra incentive if you don't think Paradus came
in here thinking, oh, people don't think I can be Bregmant, Well,
let me show you I can be Bregmant right.
Speaker 7 (01:06:05):
So it does matter. We all do it. The comparisons
are always there.
Speaker 6 (01:06:08):
But then once you start to realize you're pretty damn
good and you stay the course pretty damn good, it's humble,
pretty damn good. Next thing, you know, you're confident enough
and the coach has to make decisions. I always say,
make it miserable on your manager or your coach to
have to take you out of the lineup. So when
people ask what's gonna happen when Garcia and when Javier
come back, I'll tell you what's going to happen. They'll
(01:06:30):
find a way to mix them around your usement assets.
But make it miserable to where if you're if you're
a starting, if you're Gusto and he was player Gordon, right,
make him say I can't take him out of the rotation.
I just can't. That's when you went and right now
these guys are doing that. They're going to make it
really tough when they're healthy to get somebody out of
the lineup, especially with this bullpen and pitching staff.
Speaker 8 (01:06:51):
Be so good, they can't turn you away. And that's
always the goal, and the Astros have been able to
do that so far. Someone three two one two five
seven ninety. I got to get to the thing that
I teased outs, because this is too good and it
involves the founding of our country.
Speaker 7 (01:07:07):
Maybe we're doing our founding of our country.
Speaker 8 (01:07:09):
The founding fathers of our country. We thanked them every
day for all of the great contributions they made. It's
just I'm humbled to even be here, to be in
the same seat that these men were tremendous.
Speaker 6 (01:07:22):
It really is, it really is. We'll talk about it is.
Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
Let's talk seven ninety.
Speaker 8 (01:07:27):
The seven o'clock hour, seven ninety listener line is presented
by one eight hundred car Cash.
Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
Oh yeah, they'd have all the dudes would have to
you know, the white boy would have his little black comb,
you know, the small one.
Speaker 7 (01:07:39):
The brothers would have the big ass pick.
Speaker 6 (01:07:41):
And but normally it because it was too big for
the pocket or it would be cumbersome, so right and
slam right, and it was and it became like an accessory. Yeah,
you know, like, oh man, your ear rings are sweet
and so as you pick, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (01:07:53):
But it was freaking awesome and.
Speaker 6 (01:07:54):
Billy Preston, man, he dude, he at the time, when
you know, that was a regular that if if you
wan't wear, if you if you had some hair and
you were throwing it up, you were you were right
on right and uh. But when I think about it
and that voice, man is golden and a lot of it,
a lot of uh, a lot of good. You can't
not smile when Billy Presson comes on things that cut right.
(01:08:16):
There's certain people that certain songs come on my vibes.
I get in my feels with that. Yeah, in a
good way. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 7 (01:08:23):
It's like, what's the Paul Simon song, du dun Dune? Yeah, yep.
Speaker 6 (01:08:32):
Now we're trying to stake words. We're done, we're giving
you the instrumental. How does it start? How does that
cut start? Though, that's how it starts, I know, But
what's the what's the first words?
Speaker 7 (01:08:41):
What?
Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
What?
Speaker 7 (01:08:41):
What's the furbage?
Speaker 6 (01:08:42):
Say? We don't it doesn't matter. But when you say
that and start saying, you know, that's that's as soon
as you're hearing like carry that's that's right. Yeah, yep,
there you go. So or what's the instrumental leading into?
Speaker 18 (01:08:56):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (01:08:57):
Is it.
Speaker 6 (01:08:59):
Put me coach, you know what, Yeah, right, hell the boss.

Speaker 8 (01:09:18):
But yeah, Fogerty, he puts you in a good This
is this is prime Fogerty season two.
Speaker 6 (01:09:25):
Oh this July summertime, no question, the tooth to two.
I think of Fogerty old school and anybod He's kind
of old school, but God rest his soul is our
guy Buffett too, This is this is all time.
Speaker 7 (01:09:36):
All this is Jimmy Buffett. Sorry.
Speaker 6 (01:09:39):
And Lee Greenwood on Friday. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, God Bless
the Us. See that's uh, you know, you gotta believe Lee.
Lee Greenwood will probably do a live performance on Fox
News tomorrow or something.

haven't had a July fourth you're not.
Speaker 7 (01:10:25):
That's exactly.
Speaker 8 (01:10:26):
Have not leave out your fireworks and beer for Lee
Greenwood tonight kids, there you go.
Speaker 7 (01:10:30):
It's like, yeah, you leave it out.
Speaker 6 (01:10:35):
But you know what, dude, one of the most iconic
cuts ever. When you think about it, tell me when
you hear it, if you love you know down it
makes you feel too well, Yeah, you kind of feel proud, right,
Oh yeah, that's just kind of a proud song. Oh yeah.
Whenever I hear it, I stop. I almost feel like
I'm supposed to get out of my seat and stand
up and put my hand over my heart. Honestly, so
(01:10:57):
it's pretty impressive. Good for him, and talk about a
feel good cut to start your July fourth off. I
love it absolutely. Yeah, I'm cheesy like that. I kind
of liked that feeling of getting the feels, and I
do get it every time I hear him singing and
that in front of, like you said, a live performance somewhere,
I'm thinking I got get my feels about how proud
I am about you know, about people like him that
(01:11:18):
care a lot.
Speaker 8 (01:11:19):
Well, actually I got it wrong with the fireworks and beer.
It's for the American badass, it's for kid rock. There's
another wave it out for him. I finally show him
in your front yard.
Speaker 7 (01:11:28):
Hey man, what's going on? I finally saw him in person.
I told you up.
Speaker 6 (01:11:32):
Yeah, he's a you're talking about an energetic performer. You're
talking about instruments. You how many instruments that dude plays? Yeah, piano.
In the course of it, he got on a keyboard,
he got on the drums, he got on I think,
hell did he have was he with somebody?
Speaker 10 (01:11:46):
There?
Speaker 16 (01:11:46):
Was?
Speaker 6 (01:11:46):
He had a saxophone player in his band. I'm wondering
I for some reason, I feel like I'm trying to
remember if it was. We're going through the whole live
standing right there, I can't remember. I think he does
he play the sacks as well. He might have grabbed
probably and went after it as well. But dude, he's
doing it all, and he's got backup singers. He'll give
a cut to with, they'll sing a couple verses. It
just you want to talk about just a great in
(01:12:08):
person performance, because the energy through the roof the whole
time is him and if you love a good f
bomb delivered, you will always got in between you will
deliver him. Man, But he was cool because we get
him all this. You know, he's an American and a
conserve all that stuff. But in truth, he's like, you know, oh, hey,
got an instrument you want to play? Well, what do
you got? Oh you got a piano, I got you.
(01:12:29):
Oh you got sacks, I got you. Oh you got
the drums, I got you. Oh, guitar, I got you.
Now that's the difference in a musician and a musician,
all right, difference between a singer and a musician. That dude,
I mean, he's a guy. Oh I was a front
man one time I joined another band. I ended up
becoming with the drummer. That's how talented that guy is.
That's exactly right, from one to the other. And then
or you can just stay the front man and play
the drums like Don Henley your whole life for Phil Collins. Right,
(01:12:52):
So there you go. Impressive, man, I love it. I
love seeing people let their talent shine. And Lee Greenwood,
well obviously he's known.
Speaker 7 (01:12:59):
For with that cut. So the boys, Yeah, that's right.
There you go.
Speaker 6 (01:13:03):
There you go another great when you think about it.
That's this time of year. That's this time of year.
Speaker 8 (01:13:08):
Remember once we checked into a hotel in Vegas and
there was the lounge singer, this guy with a perm
playing Boys of Summer. So every time I hear that song,
I always think of the guy in the perm with
the tuxedo.
Speaker 7 (01:13:18):
If he was really cool, he'd had a pick in
his hair.
Speaker 4 (01:13:21):
Think so.
Speaker 6 (01:13:21):
And really I had one white boy wide receiver of
I T who is also our catcher on the baseball team,
Shane Jason, my guy, and he'd know it.
Speaker 4 (01:13:28):
He was.
Speaker 7 (01:13:29):
He was dude.
Speaker 6 (01:13:30):
He had a fro. He had the greatest froo. He
was full on, full on basic white dude, right and
dude he had he'd do it. He carried that he
had that pick stuck in that fro in high school
for four straight friggin years, and his haircut never changed.
He put it under his baseball hat. Could very fit
his helmet. He couldn't puit his helmet on because there
was you know, have the guy on the back of
(01:13:51):
the there's he's hanging on and he has to tape
the one on the one on the back of your
truck or hat.
Speaker 7 (01:13:56):
That was him with it.
Speaker 6 (01:13:57):
But he had, dude, that pick stuck in there the
whole time, all the time. So it was it was
anybody with the fro kept the pick at. It was
like Bob Ross, there you go said, there you go.
Speaker 8 (01:14:06):
You know, oh, my son, he can he can paint
trees like nobody's business. There you go, you know we
we we go with a little bit of green.
Speaker 6 (01:14:13):
Here, phenomenal. And then that that pick in the hair
man whack our brush. Well we got to go back
to those times. Absolutely, we maybe not Bob maybe a week. Yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 7 (01:14:23):
He was soothing, so we did appreciate that. There you go.
Speaker 8 (01:14:25):
It was it was always on in the doctor's office.
You always knew that that was gonna be there. And
the old lady doing the in chair calisthenics.
Speaker 6 (01:14:32):
While you're sitting there waiting to get in to see
your doctor or your dennis.
Speaker 7 (01:14:36):
Yeah, and you could play pong.
Speaker 19 (01:14:38):
I don't know, I don't know why we played it
on the Yeah, but we played Jack Lilane where he'd
be like, and we're gonna do knee raises like you'd
start hearing this like organ music, and my buddy goes
sounds like we're at at.
Speaker 6 (01:14:51):
Right and the two things that would be allowed. Now,
Lane's attire the one piece, yeah, the constant one piece
with a belt in the front, and you mix that
with the dolphin shorts on our on On Simmons, Yeah,
on Richard Simmons at a lot of Newzutsky shots. Growing
up with your exercise shows back in the day.
Speaker 8 (01:15:08):
It's like the old aerobics lady on ESPN who ended
up marrying Chris Fowler. Yes, yeah, big time, so they've
been married for a long long time. It was her
and one other guy on the beach was one of
the original on a regular basis. Yeah, and her and
her and Chris because he started his career in Denver
working on the on Prep sports, Yes sports right, Yeah,
it was pretty cool prep sports guy.
Speaker 4 (01:15:29):
For sure.
Speaker 7 (01:15:30):
He's turned into a star and a Hall of Fame
guy too.
Speaker 8 (01:15:32):
Nostalgia, Yeah, we love it, love it for sure. Two five,
seven ninety. I will get you the founding Father's thing
because I found this pretty interesting, so we'll share that
with you. But we continue along here on the Sewn
Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
Let the celebration start war.
Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 6 (01:15:56):
No, she took advantage of the guy, and it was
it was a relationship of convenience.
Speaker 7 (01:15:59):
For her, not for him. I can't believe.
Speaker 8 (01:16:02):
And then she came back after he made all that money. Shocking,
what a surprise. Yeah, oh, Forest meant I'm sick. I
wonder why, Ginny, why don't you go ahead and explain
that to a little forest.
Speaker 6 (01:16:14):
Yeah, And it kind of reminds you of sometimes in
life that it's amazing how you'll shift your narrative when
cash is involved, exactly.
Speaker 7 (01:16:21):
Asked the University of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 6 (01:16:22):
How that feels. They'll tell you that. They'll let you
to see how I apply it to real life. They'll
let you. Oh, you're gonna cut off our funding, you
know what?
Speaker 7 (01:16:32):
You know suddenly certainly it's just weird.
Speaker 6 (01:16:35):
I don't want men competing in women's sports, so we
are going to do that. Well two days ago you
didn't think that way. Well, yeah, but we've we've rethought
our thing. Why because you aren't going to get paid.
Speaker 8 (01:16:45):
You learn a lot about negotiation and leverage by watching
the show Tulsa King with the General, Oh yeah, with
the white man Freddie. Oh yeah, I'm not trying to
build something here in Tulsa. I am building something. Yeah,
that's exactly right. So yeah, just you know, like you said,
would you would you have it? It's amazing what will
happen as as Forrest Gump found out when uh, you
(01:17:07):
got when you're popular, you got some cash, and it's
amazing when they're gonna cut that off.
Speaker 6 (01:17:12):
Oh you know what, man, you're right, we're gonna take
all those records away and let women compete against women
at our university. Oh you weren't going to take our
fund any way, Well let us rethink that. Oh you're
gonna give us money. It's amazing how that works in life.
And the Yeah, Forrest Gump.
Speaker 7 (01:17:26):
Got hosed by Jenny. It was weak.
Speaker 6 (01:17:29):
She wasn't a good human. You're exactly right, and she
comes back at the end to pass away. Yeah, you
know he's got I mean that's the thing too, is
you know Forrest really needed a buddy right there, Like
he really needed Lieutenant Dan in that moment where you
know he's at the gravestone and Lieutenant Dan to be like,
you know, gotta be honest with you, Gump.
Speaker 7 (01:17:47):
She really wasn't that great to you, right.
Speaker 6 (01:17:50):
Yeah, speaking of a guy who I think of it
this time of year, all the time. Yeah, Gary, you
want to talk about a guy who loves a military
as much as a military loves the country.
Speaker 7 (01:17:59):
That guy he puts up.
Speaker 4 (01:18:00):
Man.
Speaker 6 (01:18:00):
He may posts all the time raising money. You know,
some people talk about it. He does it, and does
it quite frankly, does a lot of working and celebrating
in silence, which I like.
Speaker 7 (01:18:10):
I'm a big Snez fan man at this time of
year always too. You know who else is that way?
Charles Barkley big time.
Speaker 8 (01:18:16):
Supposedly Barkley would get upset, like if cameras showed up
to a charity event, It's like, not why I'm doing it?
Speaker 7 (01:18:21):
Guys?
Speaker 6 (01:18:21):
Yeah, when's the last time? And I can tell you
I know for he's a giver. I know he big shocks,
huge hearts, both of them, they really do. And Chuck,
for sure, I know him better than I do Shack.
But Chuck is But you love it because you never
hear about it. But he does it, and that's okay.
He doesn't. He doesn't need to paddle.
Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
Of the back.
Speaker 7 (01:18:39):
Well, it's giving the way it's supposed to be for them,
it's not for me.
Speaker 6 (01:18:42):
And I understand that people want to make sure they
let people know because what it does, you think they'll
pay it forward? Sure, Hey, man, if you pay if
you do this, match me, you know that. Okay, good,
that's the good part of it. Where other people the
momentum starts to build. But if it's for clicks, then
you're probably doing about the wrong way.
Speaker 8 (01:18:56):
Well, we're doing such great work here tonight, and okay,
keep telling yourself that.
Speaker 7 (01:19:00):
There you go.
Speaker 6 (01:19:01):
But if it makes a difference and other people get
involved because of it, then I'm on board absolute one.
Speaker 8 (01:19:07):
And you're right, Charles is great at that. Well, you
know there's lessons to be learned too. Is Neil McDonough
on on Tulsa King taught all relationships are transactional. I
was like, yeah, man, he ain't giving you that money
for the kindness of his heart.
Speaker 7 (01:19:23):
Everything's negotiable too. That's a line, brother.
Speaker 8 (01:19:26):
Our number three is Sean Salisbury's show You Want to
Join Up seven one three, two one two five seven
ninety one. Thing we will get into an hour three
as well is while the culture is good here, that

You know one of the things too, of you know,
the fourth of July, it's it's it's burgers, it's dogs,
it's it's it's all that kind of stuff, which I mean,
those will all be in play because I'm going after
the show to do the grocery, you know.
Speaker 7 (01:24:13):
For popping over the store.
Speaker 6 (01:24:14):
Yeah, for for because we're going up to our parents
in Lake Conro. So okay, so you getting all the
vitals now, because you know how it is tomorrow morning, dude,
you'll be staying in line for eight weeks.
Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:24:23):
No, that's that's it.
Speaker 8 (01:24:25):
Go go get it now, because it's always it's always
important to go at off hours when people might still
be at work, because then you can go through scott First.
Speaker 6 (01:24:33):
It's that one two o'clock day range where it's like
their lunch is over running errands and you're sitting there.
Does this sound weird to you? In most of my
life in my home, I do most of the grocery
shopping when I was when I was married. Same here.
You know, I like and significant other. I actually am
(01:24:54):
one who liked because plus my kids used to love
when they're young, going shopping with me because you get
all the stuff you needed.
Speaker 7 (01:25:00):
But I'm the drive by guy. Ye oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (01:25:03):
Those intimate donuts intends good God to have them, you
know what I'm saying. Oh, man, there's my list, but
the kids, Dad.
Speaker 7 (01:25:11):
Can I cupcakes?
Speaker 4 (01:25:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:25:14):
Grab those?
Speaker 4 (01:25:15):
Man.
Speaker 6 (01:25:16):
I was that guy, so you load up on both
all the healthy stuff. Come on, man, it's jill I
fourth week, and of course you're gonna have decorated holiday
cupcakes or whatever it is.
Speaker 7 (01:25:24):
I was that guy, but I do. And I know
this is going to sound.
Speaker 6 (01:25:28):
I guess like I'm a glutton for punishment, but sometimes
like for this, and I'll do the same as you.
They go and get all the stuff today, but there
are those Oh man, I forgot the red onion, or
I forget where you go back like I sometimes, even
though it's a pain in the ass. I know this
is a weird thing to say, but I almost like
the energy when I go to a grocery store because
(01:25:49):
it makes me feel like people are happy for the holidays,
you know what I mean. I know that's weird, cheesy
and the rest of it. But I'm walking around and
your shoulder to shoulder bumping people and you go waiting
in line. But I'll tell you I go to heab
and make I do I think it's I've into a
lot of groceries. It's it's the best grocery store in
the world. Okay, it's just and everything you need. But
it rolls quickly, and you know, I just everything feels fresh.
(01:26:10):
It's weird, but I do like seeing people are fired
up and the energy. It's decorated different with you know,
even in the stores. I know that's weird. I don't
like it every day, but there is a part of
me that this time of year, I won't mind standing
in the line a few extrements because I like the energy.
But now if you go at a time when you know,
then you better plan for two hours. Were the lines
going into the aisle? That's exactly yeah, yes, that's right.
(01:26:33):
So for me, I do like it. So what is
on your agenda? Well, not what you're gonna do. You
get the family, but tell me that the must haves
for you food wise, dogs, burgers, Dogs are Broughts, okay,
all of them. Okay, So just a little farmer John
Hotthogg or whatever it is. And then you mix in
the brons, the beer and rich brots, right, and then
(01:26:54):
you will do that, and then you go the burger,
just just regular burger, slap cheese on and all that
stuff and help them okay, and sides, potato salad.
Speaker 8 (01:27:02):
Tennis salads, the potato salad. Going to make a capraise, oh, which.
Speaker 6 (01:27:06):
The most underrated uh appetizer on the planet because it's
also too I mean, you can just you can take
what you want.
Speaker 8 (01:27:13):
You can grab a tomato, you can grab a little
bit of the mozzarella. You can do some ballsa yes
you know you got you got the fresh basil on there?
Speaker 6 (01:27:21):
Beer guy or where you go? Is it beer early?
You know if you're a bourbon whiskey guy.
Speaker 9 (01:27:25):
Late?
Speaker 7 (01:27:26):
Are you a wine guy?
Speaker 4 (01:27:27):
Late?
Speaker 7 (01:27:28):
How does how does your cold drink go?
Speaker 4 (01:27:29):
Th beer? Damn?
Speaker 6 (01:27:31):
Really just kind of spread it like a beer and
that quite frankly. I know people say and drink responsibly
and all that, but you're allowed to have a beer
at like nine thirty after fourth of July.
Speaker 8 (01:27:41):
It's like it's like a football game there, or a
travel day, like you're tailgating right right. Yeah, I'm with it.
That's what always cracks me up. Like, you know, you
go to the airport seven thirty in the morning, screwdriver
and and and and not blinking eye, no, not bat
one eye. So yeah, I'm like that too, Uh, Barbie.
I wonder how many people that I would imagine that
is it burgers or dogs or more brisket in this state?
Speaker 7 (01:28:05):
Probably a lot.
Speaker 8 (01:28:06):
I mean he probably gets both on a big old
grill right on the you know, the the brisket, the ribs,
you know, going that maybe a you know, a whole
hog shoulder something like.
Speaker 7 (01:28:14):
That about it. You always want a whole hog, of course.
Speaker 6 (01:28:18):
I mean you don't ever ever, I wouldn't imagine when
you go ready to go in your life did you
say give me a half a hog?
Speaker 7 (01:28:26):
I mean, hey, I want the whole hog. Well, of
course you do.
Speaker 6 (01:28:29):
Not good for you, It's not good for anybody, right, yeah, right,
hey give me that hog.
Speaker 7 (01:28:33):
Excuse me?
Speaker 6 (01:28:34):
Yeah, I want the whole hog. Well, of course you
don't want You're sure you just don't want the tip
of it. No, I don't want try tip.
Speaker 8 (01:28:41):
What the whole hog is is still eight twelve Matt
Thomas show with Ross They got years everywhere, brother, good.
Speaker 6 (01:28:50):
Run with it. But yeah, so I'm just wondering. I
think in this state we're probably going to produce more
brisket on a on a July fourth than most states. Right,
but I would say the majority of like you know
those metrics that come out, what's eating more hot dogs
or burgers on July fourth?
Speaker 7 (01:29:06):
Probably dogs, I would think.
Speaker 9 (01:29:08):
So.
Speaker 6 (01:29:08):
Man, it's so simple and easy and kids involved. Just
they're running around swimming and pool grabbing a dog and
taking it into the pool type of thing.
Speaker 7 (01:29:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:29:14):
Yeah, I'll mix in a steak too, because I kind
of like that as well. I know just where you
have it, And normally when I mix in a steak,
my one hundred pounds bully eats it, so I don't.
By the time I've taken two bites and you fed him,
the tomahawk's gone and he's the one.
Speaker 7 (01:29:29):
Full from it.
Speaker 6 (01:29:30):
And I'm like, how did this happen? And he doesn't apologize.
He just likes to eat it all. And he'll sit
there with this his chin on my leg like and
like pouting right like not barking, not because and he'll
sit there and stare chin and I could put a
piece of meat, this is true, now, stick it right
here that he knows isn't his. He'll set he'll he'll
(01:29:51):
put his chin next to it an inch away and
stare at it. He does it with bones with food,
like tell me when you think that. I know I've
already eaten, but can I get this bite to And
when you say you go ahead, he's like, okay, And
that's the truth, man, And he'll but I'll cut it
up with all good intentions.
Speaker 7 (01:30:06):
This is my steak. It's not my stake.
Speaker 8 (01:30:09):
I've given uh Pixie and Chaco some before and then
I learned the hard lesson afterwards.
Speaker 6 (01:30:14):
Yeah, my three year kilo. So you got a drug user,
I got a quila, I got a patron. So for tequila,
and I got an opus for opus wine, so it's
all named after it.
Speaker 7 (01:30:24):
None of them drink okay.
Speaker 8 (01:30:26):
The founding fathers Supposedly to celebrate the signing of the
Declaration of Independence, you know, after you fought the tyranny,
an actual tyranny.
Speaker 7 (01:30:34):
Yeah you mean a real one.
Speaker 4 (01:30:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:30:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:30:37):
Is supposedly it was booze and oysters, and your problem
is none, none, turtle soup, a little bit of crass.
It's also the time when you come out, you're sitting
on a beach popping those like oysters on a half
shell with some with some raw horse radish mixed in
with some nice cocktail sauce, pull some lemon over and
drink a cold beer.
Speaker 7 (01:30:56):
See that's that's also true.
Speaker 17 (01:30:59):
You know.
Speaker 8 (01:30:59):
Then you get somebody who comes up from New Orleans
and they're like, wait a minute. You know you got
that open flame over there, Let's throw them on. Let's
throw a pot.
Speaker 6 (01:31:06):
Or I got a pot, Let's throw it into some
rice and some stuff and make some gumbo.
Speaker 7 (01:31:09):
Out of this damn thing. The crazy thing is, too,
is like who the hell?
Speaker 6 (01:31:13):
Like it would be interesting to figure out who realized, hey,
I can eat that.
Speaker 7 (01:31:18):
Oh yeah, And then when they did realize what have
I been missing?
Speaker 4 (01:31:21):
My right?
Speaker 6 (01:31:22):
And for those that did haven't And I'm my friends
of mine from California seafood big obviously, but they don't
have that creole slash, you know, the good New Orleans,
good eating food stuff. They really don't know what that
taste like change, no doubt, and for me, I uh
the we need to eat more of it. You know,
(01:31:44):
one thing I've never cooked, but I always think I
have to and I need to get somebody's great recipe.
There's a lot of I have never made gumbo on
my stove. Oh ever it myself. Yeah, I mean I
gotta do, but I've never you know, there's you know,
I love to seaf you know, seafood wise just and
like it's some hot, spicy sauce, all the things that
go into gumble, but I've never whipped it up myself.
(01:32:06):
It's usually somebody else that are buying.
Speaker 4 (01:32:08):
For me.
Speaker 6 (01:32:08):
It's a process, right to do it right, and I
like the process and maybe that's why I haven't. But yeah,
and maybe I don't trust yet. You know, you're going
at it the first time. You know what you want
to put in, But it's like but then again, it's
testing gud. I don't want to test on July fourth.
But I love people that can also make those pots
of gumbo that you like, want to eat for four
straight days. Right, It's like good chili. You want to
keep eating it, you know what I'm saying in the
fall time. So damn right, yeah, gumbo, spicy gumbo. But
(01:32:31):
I've never made it, but I sure as hell when
I see people's you know, they're there the recipes about
it and watching them cook it up, I'm like, damn,
I I personally need to try that sometime, but I
never have once.
Speaker 8 (01:32:41):
It looks like chocolate sauce. Then you throw in the peppers,
onions and celery.
Speaker 7 (01:32:45):
There you go.
Speaker 6 (01:32:45):
Then you go from there. There you go a little
bit of broth. The process. It is a process.
Speaker 8 (01:32:49):
Yeah, there you go at the end the bay leaf let,
it simmer a little bit, get after it.
Speaker 7 (01:32:54):

if you've gone to like posts when you leave school
and go back. I can think of my buddy in
Long Beach, and I can think a couple of my
buddies at from Sarah High school friends you wouldn't know
(01:37:43):
their names.
Speaker 7 (01:37:43):
But that that when you get.
Speaker 6 (01:37:45):
Around with with when when your black friends throw a
barbecue party, dude, And I'm being silly, this is all
I'm not saying it.
Speaker 7 (01:37:52):
Well with black and white can't.
Speaker 6 (01:37:54):
Cook that you get There's there's a like he said,
the old school music biscuits, Right, dude, show up at
nine o'clock in the morning on this July fourth, kids already,
but you might be about an hour late because there
and it has been cooking since four in the morning
or whatever and doing it. But realistic, you go and
the times and the music, and it's all said ten
o'clock at night, and you're like, where'd this day go?
(01:38:14):
And you feel like you need to quit eating for
like six weeks. But it's been phenomenal. It's one thing
to be invited to the cookouts. It's another thing to
be handed a plate at the cookout or dude, well,
and it's like, and it also reminds me. You know
when Clint Eastwood and grants, you know, they kept more food,
more food and eat it so good. I'm done, and
they put more on him and you can't eat it.
(01:38:35):
And it's to say, it's like, dude, what's what's this rib? Oh?
Speaker 7 (01:38:38):
You don't taste it? That's what's this? Oh? That risk?
Speaker 6 (01:38:41):
Oh, it's exactly right. So it's the experiences is through
the roof, and I friggin love it. That's why I
think this is an underrated holiday. And like for Biscuit,
it's not. This is a holiday and they're goingting forty
of their families. Holidays are supposed to look. Yes, that's
exactly what it is. It's with this different taste of vitals.
For them, I will throw a brisket in or like
(01:39:01):
I like a prime rivet Thanksgiving along with turkey.
Speaker 7 (01:39:04):
Right, so throw it in. But that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 4 (01:39:06):
You just get.
Speaker 6 (01:39:06):
It's the precursor to November, but it's a different type
and it is off the charts, biscuitting as guys are
gonna have a family, gonna have a blast.
Speaker 7 (01:39:13):
Man, there's a large enough played out there somewhere.
Speaker 8 (01:39:15):
Trust me. When there's a will, there's a way, you know.
Oh by the way, I mean.
Speaker 6 (01:39:19):
Don't turn it down, especially to say, hey man, if
you have tasted this, well, just eat it. Yeah, because
it'll be off the chick I do the old come on,
throw it on me.
Speaker 7 (01:39:26):
No, there you go, here we go.
Speaker 6 (01:39:28):
Listen until I I'm not gonna until I taste it.
I ain't dogging it. And when I when I do
taste it, I'm gonna dog it the other way I
will be. I'm dogging it to get on it. Yeah,
you're still hungry. Yeah, I don't have this physique by mistake.
And you will you if you get there at the
right time, hard work, get there early, you will not
go home hungry. But the pleasure was all mine. That's
(01:39:49):
exactly right. And that beer seems to be colder on
July fourth.
Speaker 8 (01:39:52):
It's always too the cookouts, Like everybody's had great meals
in their life, they've been the great places.
Speaker 6 (01:39:58):
Those are the ones you remember just for that us did,
the camaraderie and the food and you know what cookouts.
You could cook the brisket a week from now, it'll
taste better tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (01:40:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:40:07):
I don't know why, but it's just like anything, like
when my mom made a sandwich, I'd make the exact
same sound standing next to her, the exact way never tastes.
Speaker 8 (01:40:16):
I think I saw a study that people actually did
say that like a sandwich made for them tastes better
than the sandwich that they make.
Speaker 6 (01:40:23):
I don't know if i've especially if it's family somebody
that does this, And I could never emulate my mom's sound,
So I love hearing it gives makes me get a
big old smile on my face when I think about
how biscuit and when that family wakes up tomorrow and
all those forty of them are going to be having
the time of their life and there's gonna be thousands
of people doing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (01:40:41):
I love it.
Speaker 8 (01:40:41):
It's always show up. Everybody's setting up the chairs. You're
just sitting there. It's like, well, why don't you get
out and help? Yeah, but wi, they said, up the chairs.
Your head. Your head gets on the squivel right to the.
Speaker 6 (01:40:51):
Barbecue or the grill or you're like, man, that smells
freaking and it's a tea spot. It's like in the
cartoons where you can see the smell right, you know,
when they and then then the lead the dog to
the dog out of the doghouse to the food where
the adults are that I do. I don't know why
I'm so like cheesy about this holiday, but man, I'm
already I'm fired up now just because I like that feeling.
Speaker 8 (01:41:13):
Well, it's just like, I mean, I grew up in
bel Air. We would always have the bell Air City
Parade right that day.
Speaker 6 (01:41:17):
Just feel good the remember right there, and then you
eat the hell out of it and then it won't
be the only time. This is the one time where
you can eat the same thing three times in one
day and still not get enough of it.
Speaker 8 (01:41:27):
Oh dude, it's going to be like even you know,
watching the game tomorrow night, it's going to be six
seventh inning and let me heat up that problem.
Speaker 7 (01:41:36):
Is there any doubt? Yeah? Is there any doubt, are
still be cold? Yes? Yes, and you got to have
an eye.
Speaker 6 (01:41:42):
I'm a big ice chest guy over and above the frigerator,
standing out there on your back in the backyard or
whatever it is.
Speaker 7 (01:41:48):
Oh, beer on ice is so much colder than the
one out of the fridge. And I like the bottled
beer in there top. You slip that in there.
Speaker 6 (01:41:54):
You don't want any kids step breaking it when they're
done for the adults. Good bottle that the kids drinking
the beer, you onlybody to drop one and be stupid.
But cold beer in a bottle in an ic chest,
there isn't better. There is not better right there with you, Roger,
see you right there? You want to join him?

The fingers and the dumb intact Monday morning.
Speaker 7 (01:47:05):
That's uh.
Speaker 8 (01:47:06):
It reminds me of a meme that I saw of
Carl Weathers where it's July fourth. He's Apollo Creed and
in July fifth he was chubbs.
Speaker 7 (01:47:15):
Well and guess what we all should be. No apology needed.
Speaker 8 (01:47:18):
Well, not like not like chubs like by appearance he
was chubbs from happening.
Speaker 6 (01:47:22):
I was going to say, chubbs you're.
Speaker 7 (01:47:25):
Getting because of this?
Speaker 8 (01:47:26):
Yeah, hell no, damn alligator hit my hand efly right,
Oh my god, tell you keep that good barbecue out
there and not feed me it. You might get an
arm bit off too, So there you go.
Speaker 7 (01:47:36):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (01:47:37):
I love how people, how passionate they are about getting
victials ready for this day.
Speaker 7 (01:47:41):
Man, It's cool. I love it.
Speaker 6 (01:47:42):
I'm with Roger Off today and if if if they
had lights on the course at four in the morning,
I'd be out there tomorrow before the food gets served. Yeah,
I'm addicted. That's I don't know if it's the right
thing to do, but admit it. But yeah, I just
uh uses up a lot of my thought. There's addictions
that have Yeah, yeah, now trust me, yep.
Speaker 8 (01:48:01):
And then Monday, that's that's when you get back in
the gym and get it all get it all over again.
Speaker 6 (01:48:06):
Just walk eighteen holes in one hundred percent commidity and
you'll get that back in too. You can do both
little cross training. Disdained, Danny, do you have disdain for Jordan?
I know we keep doing do you Jordon's injury? Not
for I don't mean him, but the whole thing's right.
Not disdained. Okay, can go. I'm anxious to hear where
we're going with this because we had a great, great
conversation with Dana Brown yesterday. What was your takeaway? Fans
(01:48:28):
as well listeners, there we go. I call them fans,
but they're not they're just our people. When they say fans,
I mean listeners and friends of the show, friends of
the show who are part of it because we're just
as big a fan as them as they are of us.
So we were lucky, man. I like it, Biscuit gay, Yeah,
there you go. That's right, there we go.
Speaker 8 (01:48:43):
Maybe we just came up with something on the fly,
but yeah, we'll do that right here. It is the
Shawn Salisbury Show here on a Thursday, Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 4 (01:48:53):
You're back.
Speaker 7 (01:48:54):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 4 (01:48:57):
Get back at it.
Speaker 8 (01:48:59):
I don't want people that think that this means he's
going to be sixty more days. But he is on
the sixty day IL that was to be able to
clear up a forty man roster spot for Zach Short
to come up, and that was after Luis ki Yorme
went on the ILS.
Speaker 6 (01:49:13):
So great talk with Danny yesterday and like I said yesterday, Dan,
to you and to him during the interview, it sucks.
Speaker 7 (01:49:18):
To have to play doctor. It just does.
Speaker 6 (01:49:21):
It's but he's the general manager, and they put it.
The truth of me is, you know, he's just Dana
Brown is taking the information given to him. He's not
the one a in a coat, a white coat telling
you what the what? Hey, let me tell you what
these images are like. So it's tough on him to
I would imagine to do it. But he comes on
here and you may not like the way it's answered
(01:49:43):
or doesn't give you the answer you want to hear.
But you just mentioned sixty day. I l history wise,
you tell me why you think it's not going to
be sixty days.
Speaker 8 (01:49:51):
Well, because I mean it's backdated to when he went on.
But right, well that's and that's been sixty days.
Speaker 7 (01:49:57):
Yeah. So but shut Down is seeing a third now? Specialist? Fourth?
Speaker 1 (01:50:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:50:09):
Okay, so he said three? Right, So when Dana Brad,
because I'd asked, was a specialist scene at the beginning
or is it just here at the end, he said no,
at the time, he'd seen three, So I guess this
is going to be the fourth, right, Yeah, I guess
my own question is, man, if you're seeing three specialists
and now I'll have a different opinion in the medical
field on an injury that you're looking at an image,
I don't know it because I got buddies of mine
(01:50:31):
that and I've been in plenty of orthopedic talks with doctors.
I'm not saying for him to where and I know
it changes, but I've always said, well, isn't an ankle
that's an ankle is an ankle is an ankle, that
if it's a fracture in the ankle, it's a fracture
in the ankle's fact, how does everybody know? And I
would normally think the diagnosis, would say they'd all there'd
be similar diagnosis.
Speaker 7 (01:50:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:50:53):
I'm going from my history of my injuries. Now the
hand you know it's different. Don't know the threshold of pain,
but I would imagine you can see the fracture. My
question yesterday of was he one hundred percent healthy before
he stepped into that batting into that batter box. And
I got the feeling through it that it was a
(01:51:14):
combination jord On saying I feel great, and they watched
him swing the bat and not quite at one hundred
percent close, Let's see how this feels. That's the way
I got because I don't think from judging from yesterday
that it was all systems go. I think it was
all systems hope they're going see And I also asked
about the end of the do think it's the season
(01:51:37):
Indian injury?
Speaker 7 (01:51:37):
And he said no.
Speaker 6 (01:51:39):
But if you notice when we went to it and
shifted to Jeremy Panye, it was all, we feel great
about the Jeremy Paine and it was right after, which
tells me this. I'm just as an interviewer, you start,
you try to because listen just so pee. When I'm
interviewing somebody, I have notes that I want to ask,
but I may not get to all of them because
something said in that answer or requires a tee up.
Speaker 7 (01:52:01):
That's why listening to what they say. And we're always going.
Speaker 6 (01:52:04):
To judge it because you're nit picking over injuries, trying
to figure or interviews trying to figure out to try
and piece it together. And Dane has done a great
job with us on this show. He has, and he's
been peppered with some difficult questions that he could have
very easily said, Sean, I'm not going to answer it.
Speaker 7 (01:52:19):
Well.
Speaker 6 (01:52:19):
When I asked him about trade deadline and if Jordon
is out a long time, hypothetically are you going after
a left handed bat? And Dana's response was simply, well,
we'll address that when we get to that point. So
is his way of saying, we're not prepared to talk
about that yet because this is a business deal that
will be handling in house until we know more, and
it's a fair but I got the feeling when I
(01:52:40):
pressed him on one hundred percent healthy that he's not
one hundred percent healthy going into that batting. That's that's
the deal. And it's not the frustrating and we all
trust athletes and we got to you got to prevent
them from screwing up themselves two at times.
Speaker 8 (01:52:54):
That's a big problem. See, And that's exactly it is.
It's not with jord On. If he doesn't feel if
he doesn't feel great, then he doesn't feel great. So
I'm not going to force the guy if he doesn't
feel great. It's for me. It's the perceived assumption. And
at this point now, where you've had this happen not once,
not twice, not three times, multiple times in the last
handful of years of guys where it looks like they're
(01:53:15):
ramping up their close and then you have to shut
them down, how do you not at this point finally realize,
let's exhaust every single option.
Speaker 7 (01:53:23):
Hey, you, ord On, how do you feel great?
Speaker 6 (01:53:25):
Well?
Speaker 8 (01:53:25):
You know what you look, you look good going through
your other work. Let's just make sure I'm thinking of
picking up a bat today.
Speaker 7 (01:53:31):
Let's go to the medical center first.
Speaker 8 (01:53:33):
I know you feel good, we think you feel you know,
you look good.
Speaker 7 (01:53:37):
Let's go first, right, like, how is that not doing?
Speaker 6 (01:53:40):
So when you get answers and you press it and
you know, listen, I would love to go on every
week and talk about all the.
Speaker 7 (01:53:49):
Great things that when and which we do.
Speaker 6 (01:53:52):
You could tell even with the questions about Jordan yesterday,
he was still real excited about his team and the
way they're playing baseball. And like I said, he doesn't
want to play doctor. I get it, but he has
to because that's I mean. Now, you can give any
answering wants, but I get this feeling that they are.
This is just my perception after interviewing stuff, which we
(01:54:12):
all do. My preer, what do we do after somebody
gives a does their speech, or we have a debate
on television, a political debate, Well you go right to
everybody and everybody's analyzing what they thought they heard, right,
And I try to listen and find answers because I'm
not just looking for ans well, this will be good
for a c I'm looking for answers that I don't
know the answer to. When when I met Christ he's
(01:54:35):
in it, and I got the feeling yesterday that he
wasn't He was getting healthier, but wasn't one hundred percent
that he felt good going in and like anything else,
probably needed more time because that torque and that that
that intensity that goes with the ramp up and then
it'll be even more intense when you're in live baseball.
(01:54:55):
And I get the feeling after half they felt about
pain and the energy that pain is still with the
clobe and with what's going on with Jordan that they
feel a lot better about the shortstop than they do
about the DH.
Speaker 8 (01:55:07):
And it's also people get upset with Dana Brown because
he's the voice, he's the face for it.
Speaker 7 (01:55:11):
That's what the job is. I get all, and.
Speaker 6 (01:55:13):
That's why you get paid that he knows what responsibility
comes with it.
Speaker 8 (01:55:16):
That's like getting upset with anybody else that's not the
cook in the kitchen because your steak wasn't done right, Like,
why are you getting upset with them if they didn't
have anything to.
Speaker 4 (01:55:26):
Do with it.
Speaker 8 (01:55:26):
All they did was brought it here, presented it to you,
and it's here for you.
Speaker 6 (01:55:30):
They did, unless, of course you said medium rare and
they wrote down well done.
Speaker 7 (01:55:35):
Sure, and that's on the way.
Speaker 6 (01:55:36):
But forget that if the order is correct, they take
it back there and the chef cooked it improperly. That's
not a waiter problem. That's not a general manager problem.
Unless now it's happened regularly, then it's the general manager's
job at the restaurant to go back in the back.
Things say, listen, man, I'm reading these. You keep doing
what medium rare you keep or vice versus they want
it well, and you keep making a medium rare to
(01:55:58):
suit you. It's not for you cook it out. They
want it whether you like it or not. And now
at that job, if it continual happens, but a one
off like that, it's not it. And Dana's got that responsibility.
He's got to be all these things. And I'm sure
he'd like to concentrate on his team and in evaluating talent,
good or bad.
Speaker 8 (01:56:14):
When you find out what you find out, either today
or tomorrow, make the team doctor available, because Jordon is
not just some other player.
Speaker 7 (01:56:24):
He is your player for this team. He is your superstar.
Speaker 8 (01:56:27):
Also, when the Rockets were yelming, when finally we needed
questions answered, Walter Lowe was right there to answer.
Speaker 6 (01:56:33):
Him, and also with this, that's why, and I had
asked him I said, so when forty eight hours, if
you have the answer, we will know before the jil
going into the weekend, one hundred percent, because we do
we get that. Yes, well we'll come out, we'll report
it and let you know. My whole thing is that
if all of a sudden they say he's going to
be out two months, don't say he's making I mean
(01:56:54):
he's making product. So we have something, I think, so
we all have something to tell us. What you're telling
your team does that make sense? I know you protect
the player, but when if you get the thing, it's
the fractures, it's refractured, it's it's it's it's worse than
it was before he took batting practice.
Speaker 7 (01:57:10):
He's out, he's out two months, he's not. You won't
see him. Tell if we're fortunate the middle of August.
Speaker 6 (01:57:15):
And don't even hit me with your frustration. We keep
asking the same questions. Oh, it's a distraction, guys, you've
created the distraction. And Dana hasn't the approach to the yes,
so the way And it's like I said, whenever this
this is a committee thing. Joe Spot has to look
at this and get it, and so does so does
that the hitting instructor, how's he getting through the hitting zone?
And then all of a sudden, the general manager, and
(01:57:36):
then you know their staff, and then they're also looking
at well, what if. There's a lot of what if scenarios?
If he doesn't do we go get somebody. The trade
done so much to go on, I'm not letting him
ouf the hook. That's why I don't ask softball questions.
I want to know. But I also can compliment him
on the job that their team is doing, because they
are and I'd love it to be, you know, roses
and and everybody laughing and joking and birds singing around
our head every time that he came on. They should
(01:57:58):
be with their winning. But the big fellows hurt, and
anytime your star is hurt on any team, we want
to know, especially when it's taking this and especially when
it's the history of this stuff happening. We saw the
same movie at this time last year and he played
right field. Yeah, and it was a fracture, not a bruce.
This was in a different part of the body. So
whether it's are they reading the images right? Are are
(01:58:20):
we putting too much empowerment on the player?
Speaker 7 (01:58:22):
You feel good?
Speaker 1 (01:58:23):
Cool?
Speaker 6 (01:58:24):
Then good. You can be eighty five. If you feel good,
then we're good. You got to you got to get
the player away from himself. Does that make sense. You've
got to know the decision. You got to take that
out because all players, most of them, I know, we're
going to say if I'm eighty percent, I'm gonna tell
you I'm ninety two.
Speaker 7 (01:58:38):
Ask the Indiana Pacers right now?
Speaker 6 (01:58:40):
Yeah, exactly, well, and then he tears his achilles to
youre talking about Halliburton, there's no doubt so with this
And I don't know, but if I was you judging
from if you go back and listen to that interview
and it's a podcast and it was I think, you know,
Dana had some tough things he had to answer. I
gather that this isn't that there is that They've got
(01:59:02):
to be worried about this. They absolutely have to be
and start planning for it. I don't and do you also?
And if I was a fan, which I am, or
a media member and just anybody, I would just shift
your paradigms to how we're going to do if we
don't have him back for sixty days and if he
comes back in twenty great, I got the feeling that
(01:59:23):
he's not one hundred percent healthy and that there is
concern and that this team knows it.
Speaker 7 (01:59:28):
But it's fortune.
Speaker 6 (01:59:29):
It's going to be covered up a little bit, not
covered up in a negative way, covered up by winning.
That that'll take away some of this pressure. We'll continue
this we get into the fourth hour of the show.
Chris Gordy also to join us for his weekly visit

with a great parking lot and the food sucks, you're
not going back. But what if you get it all parking,
no reservations needed, You're not sitting around a long time
waiting for your food. The food and the sides off
the charts, the customer service through the roof. And when

many is out of Wexler and now I'm claiming doing shots?
Salsbur ever do pregame like it's like.
Speaker 6 (02:03:37):
Hey, Matt ask again, have you ever done pregame? And
the answers no, yeah, well I don't think yeah, well
not not only that, we'll take a look at the
first last night, Yeah, not what you want to do. Well, no,
it's not. I mean we could take a look at
the first inning and what the guy was doing at
the end of the bench. And I'm watching on TV
(02:03:59):
but had three But also like on a half day,
I'll still come in here and do the show, as
opposed to just thinking I'll just stay home to do
it at eleven o'clock. Whoa man? That early wake up call?
What a bummer. I gotta wake up at ten twenty
to get here on time. Hints why I'm not doing
post game. And you know what, here's another thing. When
you've been in the business forty years, you don't have
(02:04:20):
to do pregames.
Speaker 7 (02:04:21):
Okay, am right?
Speaker 4 (02:04:22):
You just amy really want the.
Speaker 6 (02:04:23):
Air gig part to come out. You don't have to
do pregame our post I love Matt. Let's see Matt
likes to do see the game. Lit's look at the schedule.
We're happy to do it, happy to do it. And
you know what, the one that should be the three
to zero five day game. I'll come on and give
you all you want, Matte. Matter of fact, take that
day off again. You know, I love it. He's right,
(02:04:45):
Sewan ever done it, Matt, No, Sean's never done it.
Did I just speak in the third person.
Speaker 4 (02:04:49):
He's a shot. He likes to take shots.
Speaker 6 (02:04:51):
Oh and and he'll admit it, and he loves it.
He's a good sport great he does take Matt. He's
a great instigator, the guy you want on your tail. Yeah,
freaking love. I love it so yeah, And once again,
ask me if I'm doing the pregame tonight. You know
today I am absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (02:05:06):
Gordy and and.
Speaker 6 (02:05:08):
The A team handle it after right.
Speaker 4 (02:05:10):
I just couldn't.
Speaker 20 (02:05:10):
Imagine me and Rossby at a car park and be like,
all right, coming up to twenty minutes, Sean Salisbury is
gonna get you ready for first pitch.
Speaker 6 (02:05:17):
I am on my phone, I'm watching the game, and
I'm on whole four. Okay, that's a special guest appearance
by one Sean sALS Gordy, when.
Speaker 7 (02:05:25):
You're forty years in the business, are you doing pregame?
Speaker 20 (02:05:28):
You know, like I'm kidding, but you know what I say, right, Yeah,
it's I mean it's but it's like.
Speaker 6 (02:05:32):
You like the postgames better because I liked Yes, if
we had the Texas I would do it every week.
Speaker 4 (02:05:36):
Person would go, Sean, you want to be part.
Speaker 6 (02:05:38):
Of my game, right, And you know how much I
love baseball. I love more than football. But it just
fits right right, and listen, if I honestly, if I
was doing a three o'clock show two o'clock in the afternoon,
I wouldn't have. I actually think I kind of like
the banter of postgame when especially when you lose, right,
I hate to say that, when you lose guests all hillbrings.
Speaker 4 (02:05:59):
I think we had the day games. You were in
the afternoon up.
Speaker 6 (02:06:03):
I absolutely was, so yeah, so that's the reason. So
but I sure love how great you guys are at
pre and post game. Hey, Gordy, you guys kick ass.
And I love it. And you know what, I'm going
to be the I'm not compared myself. What's our actor
that goes in Daniel da Lewis, Yeah, you know you
see him like, what's every ten years exactly? He goes
and wins an award which I'm not winning award, but
(02:06:24):
does it and then all of a sudden Hey man,
oh he's still doing this.
Speaker 7 (02:06:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:06:27):
One of these days I'm going to shock the hell
out of the world. I'm going to say, what is
Sean doing on at midnight after a West Coast game, Shawn,
he showed up his l in solo.
Speaker 20 (02:06:36):
You have no codes, it's just Sean yea. And in
the seventh inning, here was your play of the game.
People would be going, why is Sean doing this play
of the game?
Speaker 6 (02:06:43):
And it was an Oakland guy you've never heard of,
but damn he hit an Appo.
Speaker 7 (02:06:46):
Taco okay, and it was with cheese. There you go.
Speaker 4 (02:06:52):
Exactly.
Speaker 6 (02:06:52):
And I got my hair chopped off and have to
wear another jersey for some team that I didn't want
to vote for. But that's why I see. That's a
great thing about being the first out. You're basically postgame show.
That's it at six in the morning, that's it. Why
do we want to waste all even free too?
Speaker 8 (02:07:06):
Because you're getting you ready for it for a sweep today,
It's right, let's start it off with the unpleasantry though,
jord On. You listen to an interview yesterday Sean, and
you come away from that, do you feel like it
is a all right, we'll see him soon enough, or man,
you're starting to wonder.
Speaker 20 (02:07:25):
I just I'm I'm preparing for life without him. If
he can play, if he comes back, great, but I'm
I'm I got to move on without him. And then Dana,
I know he kind of tiptoed around it, but it
is a I mean the question you asked him like,
you do have to approach the deadline with the thought
what if jord On does not come back? Is there
about a power bat out there that we can add?
(02:07:46):
So I don't know, I'm just fans. We're just so
frustrated and everything with the injuries because they've just piled
up these last couple of seasons, and then the updates,
no updates, updates, no updates. They just become so frustrating people.
Most astros fans are like, just let me know when
he's back. I don't need any more whatever.
Speaker 7 (02:08:05):
Yeah, if it's thirty days, sixty days, just give me
a timeline.
Speaker 4 (02:08:08):
Let's go. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:08:09):
Right, And then and the part of it and Gordy
with that, I see I said that, I know you
were getting into the building. I said the same thing
for me. I'm I'm if he comes back. I just
hit I mean, and he's and he's your on and healthy.
Then I got a little power ball on, a little
of a little uh you know, energy boost and to
help my team. But I'm going at this as if
(02:08:30):
I got to win a champion. It's like having your
Hostetler and Phil Simms. Right, Hostetler's playing Phil Sims and
we go and go to Super Bowl and win a
Super Bowl. I got to approach that same way with
this with you know what, We're gonna go win without
him because we're going to coach and play with the
people that are here. And if he comes back, then
what a bonus it is to get our starter and
our star back in the lineup.
Speaker 7 (02:08:49):
They can win without him.
Speaker 6 (02:08:50):
I don't know if they can sustain the pitching, but
I know this, if it stays like this, they're going
to be the team to beat in the American League.
If it stays the way it is, well, look at
the first month of the season, he was not your nope.
Speaker 20 (02:09:00):
So if he comes back and he's that, I don't
want that, Like that's that's hurting you. I'd rather somebody
in there who's gonna give me some more competitive at
thats so hey, let me know when you're one hundred
percent healed and we're ready to go.
Speaker 4 (02:09:12):
Until then we'll playing without.
Speaker 6 (02:09:14):
And that one hundred you mentioned is exactly right. Get
to sometimes you say, get to ninety five and we
can be okay. But it's a hand and that power
and that torque. Get to one hundred clear that go
take batting practice, feel good, boom, and then when you're sore,
it's not sore, we got to shut you down.
Speaker 7 (02:09:29):
It's sore. Go put some ice on it. We'll see
in two days.
Speaker 6 (02:09:31):
Right, That kind of soren us, But lingering at that,
to me, this team's got to mentally prepare without him
in the front office and on the field, and then
prepare that if he comes back. You're like, that's you know,
that shot of energy. Oh my gosh, we're getting this guy.
We didn't think we'd have him good. I would, I
would caution, I don't think if you if you see
him in July, you should be very very doing.
Speaker 4 (02:09:52):
Pretty damn good without him. So let's just let's keep
her roll.
Speaker 7 (02:09:54):
And what are we? What are they now?
Speaker 6 (02:09:55):
Dan sixteen and twenty sixteen and four seventeen and five
sixteen and four The last twenty.
Speaker 7 (02:10:00):
I know there last ten.
Speaker 8 (02:10:01):
So I mean you even get to the point speaking
of those postgame shows, you're starting to get the oh, well,
you know we still played down to the level.
Speaker 7 (02:10:07):
Did you win the game?
Speaker 4 (02:10:08):
All right?
Speaker 7 (02:10:09):
There's there's no playoff committee here. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (02:10:12):
Margin of victory only matters in stats and how pretty
it looks. It doesn't matter at the end of the game.
It's still a win. In the calumn. We don't have
old school hockey memory, when you tied, you got a
half a point or a point. We don't have that
any We don't have five vertical categories. It's did you
win or did you lose? We ain't playing to a
tie and get charts for it, for sure. Can you
stick around one more gorgeo? Yeah, there we go. Let's
do it right here. It is Sean Salisbury show Sports
(02:10:33):
Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 13 (02:10:35):
There's a lot happening, and he's got a lot to
say about it.
Speaker 2 (02:10:40):
Sean Salisbury continues on seven nineteen.
Speaker 8 (02:10:44):
And one of the things that he just got it
to was, you know, I can't think of the last
time I've been in a mall. And as soon as
he said that, I was like, you know what, You're
not wrong, Like I haven't been.
Speaker 4 (02:10:52):
It's awesome.
Speaker 6 (02:10:52):
You bought a shirt at a department store forever it's
been it's been a long time. Normally I would say
it's been a long time. I was so late to
the party on order and online because I was afraid
everybody was stealing my credit cards. Every day I was
do you want to save your password? Hell no, because
the person who took my order is going to spend
my money. Up until like three years ago, that's who
I was. Grocery and no, no, don't order that. I'll
(02:11:14):
go pick it up. But now it's like, man.
Speaker 7 (02:11:18):
I can get this golf shirt.
Speaker 6 (02:11:21):
I get the Bogo two for one and say, and
the next day it's on me and I'm at the
golf course. Now I do have that addiction to the
golf Superstore, PGA Superstar. I walk in there, and I
go in there with good intentions. So I'm just gonna
look around at the new iron stuff. Inevitably, Sean, how
was that four hundred dollars purchase of four more four
more you know, four more Travis Matthew shirts and a
(02:11:45):
and a grunk dolf.
Speaker 7 (02:11:46):
It's like, what are you doing?
Speaker 6 (02:11:47):
Dude, every time you're in here, you got something new
on I and it's it's it's become. But but I
also you know you'll get that. Hey, Sean, there's five.
It's the July fifty percent off sale at Travis Matthew.
That it's this. It was the spring shirt for me.
The spring shirt's the summer shirt. So I'll get it
Curst one hundred and the one with like those nine months.
Speaker 4 (02:12:07):
Of the year, you'll wear it here.
Speaker 6 (02:12:08):
Right, the good, the good companies, you know, the like
I mean, the repute will like whether it's Travis Matthew
or Johnny O's or Peter Malar, you know the ones
that where you're spending a bucket a quarter for a
golf shirt, right, and then all of a sudden they
say it's fifty percent off and it's ninety dollars. Still
you're like, oh, well cool, let me buy four of them.
Speaker 7 (02:12:27):
So that's me.
Speaker 6 (02:12:28):
Otherwise that's all I that, right, Otherwise it's on that line.
What's all I mean, whether it's Tommy john underwear, You're
not going in to buy Haynes at the store anymore, right,
But you're right, but I still have that I drive
by it I get like I get the beads of
sweat over my forehead when I drive by the PGA
Tour Superstar saying there's a magnet that wants to go
in there and take my money.
Speaker 4 (02:12:46):
But always yeah, but I.
Speaker 7 (02:12:48):
Keep driving by the gap. Twenty years ago I would
stop in. That's right.
Speaker 8 (02:12:52):
The two for one cargo shorts at the gap, that's right, right,
even throwing some jeans too for good measure. I mean,
you know, just we've been talking about to Gordian by
the way, Chris Cordy, Curtesy, Carbock brewing every single Tuesday
and Thursday, the way that this team has played. I mean,
we've talked about the pitching, how good it's been. But
then last night you get Cooper Hammel a couple of hits,
(02:13:13):
Shaye wakemb first home run, yep, Like is it is?
It just nothing short of amazing that you just it's
it's every single game. It's almost the eternal Wheel. And
oh hey there's Mauricio Dubon. He fell out, he did something.
Speaker 20 (02:13:25):
It's a different hero every night. I mean, I do
want to preface it what they are playing the Rockies
and they stink, so you know, the the space Cowboys
could beat the Colorado Rockies. That's how how bad they
are right now. But we had Cam Smith on the
show yesterday. I filled in for Fradam Clinton on the
A team and wex and I got to talk with
Cam Smith, and that kid is just he's mature beyond
(02:13:46):
his years. He talked about how much he's he's learned already.
Joe Spotta said the other day he doesn't have a
bat at back like. He's just so disciplined, and last
night just waked him at the Do you have three
hits last night?
Speaker 7 (02:13:59):
Yeah, I mean just three more.
Speaker 20 (02:14:01):
He's so good man and and he's such a natural
and right field, a position he never played before. It's
he's a freak athlete.
Speaker 4 (02:14:09):
And the kid is just so.
Speaker 20 (02:14:12):
What do you call it, like just very humble, very
everything you want for.
Speaker 7 (02:14:16):
This success, absolut Yeah.
Speaker 9 (02:14:18):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (02:14:18):
He's the guy that you say, man, have you ever
been bowling? Now, well come on, we're gonna go bowling.
And he rolls at two twenty. Yeah, he's bastard.
Speaker 4 (02:14:27):
Right.
Speaker 7 (02:14:27):
Yeah, you played all the camp show. Why you could play?
Speaker 6 (02:14:30):
No, I've played like four times in my life, seventy five. Dude,
take your ass home and leave us alone. But you're
glad he's on your team. But Gordy, doesn't that epitomize
what this whole team's been this year. And I'm not
saying he's overachieving. It's just premature because we didn't expect
it this Remember we asked Dane Brown too, and we
all going into spring train when they made this trade
(02:14:50):
for Kyle Tucker. He was destined for the minor leagues
to get himself primed for major League Baseball. He's never
gonna set foot sugar Land unless it's a rehab thing
in his career. He's never going to set foot in
sugar Land. Lests to go watch him because his buddy's playing,
or he's rehabbing a hammy because it was sore for
(02:15:11):
a week.
Speaker 20 (02:15:11):
Well that's what I asked him, because yesterday the Futures
lineups were announced for the Futures Game and coming up
with the All Star Break.
Speaker 7 (02:15:17):
Yeah, Matthews is playing it right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:15:19):
Bryce Matthews isn't it.
Speaker 20 (02:15:20):
But I told Cam Smith, I said, dude, in another universe,
you're playing that game.
Speaker 4 (02:15:23):
Yes, like we're we're talking about.
Speaker 20 (02:15:25):
The hype is building for you gonna get called up
next year with the Astros. It's like in this alternate universe. No,
he got called up. He made his debut on opening day, right,
and he's been.
Speaker 6 (02:15:36):
Here and when he ran and hitting the four hole
a couple of times too, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:15:41):
Kid, that was at Florida State a year ago in
the World Series. It's insane.
Speaker 6 (02:15:45):
Guards It's funny when you say that too about it.
It's like it's kind of like like like the like
where you mentioned the Triple A, but you mentioned the
future saying it's like, man, well, I lost my train.
I thought I was gonna say about Cam Smith because
I was thinking about it. But the bottom line is
he's there so much sooner than he was supposed to be.
And even then you say, okay, play in the futures game,
what's his future going to be? Like now, it's like
(02:16:07):
I'm one of the big boys. Now I don't have
to play in that. I'm already up here doing my thing.
He's not thinking futures. You know what he's thinking for
the rest of the time. This way I can say
is this, this is a future All Star on a
regular daily basis that I can see three years from
now hitting two three or four on a regular basis
in this lineup.
Speaker 4 (02:16:21):
I asked him too about that.
Speaker 20 (02:16:23):
I said it had to mean a little bit something
extra hitting those home runs against the Cups last week.
Speaker 4 (02:16:27):
He said absolutely.
Speaker 20 (02:16:28):
He said, you're always tied to that team that drafted,
drafted yet organization, and yeah, you want to kind of
show him, Hey, this is what I could be.
Speaker 7 (02:16:35):
It's what I said about Kyle Tucker and him.
Speaker 6 (02:16:37):
I said, there's got to be that point when people
are saying, well, we don't have Kyle Tucker anymore, the
deep down will you're not talking about it. Oh, he
enjoyed that that you want to make sure you're playing
well so people aren't saying, yeah, but imagine if we
had Kyle Tucker and Gordy. You mentioned this about two
or three weeks ago. Nobody's saying that.
Speaker 4 (02:16:52):
Right, Yeah, he's operation different thing.
Speaker 7 (02:16:55):
Yeah, No, nobody's saying it.
Speaker 4 (02:16:56):
Wait till he get Hayden was Nesky back next year
after Tommy John. He's you know, you're.
Speaker 6 (02:17:00):
Going three miles an hour faster.
Speaker 20 (02:17:02):
Yeah, I mean he's your three Uh, he's your number
three guy in the rotation for the next four years.
Speaker 6 (02:17:06):
I mean, it's pretty impressive. Man Gordion, like as we
said on Tuesday, and I'll equit you would take this
record and where they are with all those guys still here?
Speaker 4 (02:17:15):
Yeah, and what are the Tigers split their double header?
Guess day?
Speaker 9 (02:17:18):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:17:18):
So it's a game.
Speaker 6 (02:17:20):
Yeah, and they're what they're sitting in three in overall baseball,
they're only the Dodgers and Tigers with the better record.
Speaker 20 (02:17:25):
It's I don't want to put it on because that's
gonna be tough to go into Dodger Stadium, which about three, right,
they can, oh, they can could have the best record American.
Speaker 6 (02:17:34):
Here's what I can tell you about the Dodgers. They're
probably gonna have. They'll put you in a little bit
more high leverage situation. They'll probably have more guys on
bases that can win games with the swing of the
bat with a three run homer. So everything has to
ramp up. But you know what, so does your focus
as a player. And this team has been great against
good teams and in close games this year.
Speaker 20 (02:17:54):
Well, I just keep looking at this line guys Friday
night McCullers at Dodgers Stadium, I just you know, tell
him go and walk show it every time. The show
he comes to just walking, well, the unintentional intentional walk.
Speaker 6 (02:18:10):
We're all hoping that he the lamps, M colors that
can get you out regularly with all the stuffs working,
and he's competitive strikes. But if he's having a rough
day and everything's flat and he's not throwing fastball and
as much as Tee Sparks wants him to throw more fastballs, yeah,
that that that that's either going to be a really good.
Speaker 4 (02:18:27):
Look.
Speaker 6 (02:18:27):
I don't think you're gonna get in between. It's either
going to be really good or the Dodgers are going
to feel really good about their performance. This is that's
a tough one for him. But coming off a bad performance,
he'll probably be geared up to know he'll probably treat
it as if like a Game six of a World series,
as he should as.
Speaker 20 (02:18:43):
Goosey askers are playing. You know what my mentality is
for that series this weekend. Don't get swept. Win one,
win one, we're okay.
Speaker 6 (02:18:49):
Yeah, I mean if you if you win two coming
out of this, what a hell of a run it's
been over the last twenty to twenty five games.
Speaker 20 (02:18:56):
Because then you come home with the Guardians and Rangers
next week before the All Star Break.
Speaker 4 (02:18:59):
And I'm telling you right now, they will go.
Speaker 20 (02:19:00):
Into the All Star Break with the best record in
the American League.
Speaker 7 (02:19:04):
I have in agreement.
Speaker 6 (02:19:07):
Now think what he just said, and now go back
to spring training, and now add up all the injuries
and people who left during trades and fre agency, and
you'd think he's on crack and needs a drug.
Speaker 20 (02:19:16):
Tael Array, no jord On reneld Blanco done for the season.
Wasn't Nesky done for the season?
Speaker 6 (02:19:21):
No JP Frantz, no Cavier, no Garcia, no yord On Alvarez,
no Tucker, no Bregman. Hell you want to go ahead?
No Charlie Morton for.
Speaker 20 (02:19:29):
You, Dan Christian Walker is gonna bat like two o
two thank you? Oh by we be saying, God, I
hope we're in at least in the Al West race.
Speaker 9 (02:19:39):
I know.
Speaker 6 (02:19:39):
By the way, just just to add some insult injury.
Your m v P this year is now hurt. Yeah,
oh yeah, joy, But who's counting, right? Eighteen games over
five hundred. School of the Blind.
Speaker 4 (02:19:52):
If Joe.
Speaker 6 (02:19:54):
Votes, why don't they just vote now and just end
this thing? Because even I even his peers got to
be saying, come on, dude, you know if he's got
his buddies in the manager calling him up saying Hi
you Joe man, Joe, you're not on camera right now? Yeah,
what in the world are you? How is this possible?
Speaker 7 (02:20:12):
I'm just the best manager in baseball. There you go.
That's it. Good answer.
Speaker 4 (02:20:16):
Take.
Speaker 8 (02:20:16):
He takes a minute to smell himself a little bit.
But you're heading over to Carbock Prime Prime season for
Crawford Baking.
Speaker 6 (02:20:23):
Did I see a shandy is coming out?
Speaker 4 (02:20:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 20 (02:20:25):
I saw that they got a little a little bit
of a lemony flavor coming out over there with the
Crawford Bock.
Speaker 4 (02:20:30):
But it's gonna be a lot of fun. We'll be
over there at Carbock Brewing.
Speaker 20 (02:20:33):

Show show off the work. You've been doing that during
the off season. All right, Joseph c you right there.
We'll get you involved if you want to join him.
Someone three two one two five seven ninety. But back
to the culture thing we were talking about earlier. You
think it's good here, maybe that's not the case everywhere.
We'll talk about it right here. It is the Sean
Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven ninety. The seven ninety listener
line here in the nine o'clock hour is presented by
(02:21:31):
one eight hundred car Cash.
Speaker 6 (02:21:33):
Oh yeah, I me and miss Terry used to go
mys Terry, didn't you say he likes these nuts jokes?
Speaker 7 (02:21:38):
He does love those jokes. Because you were in Atlanta
the SEC. Have you been to all that and seeing him?
Speaker 6 (02:21:44):
I I've been around Nick, but I've never been around
him when somebody said, hey, you want a pizza?
Speaker 7 (02:21:48):
Yeah these nuts?
Speaker 6 (02:21:49):
Yeah, so Nick does he's he he's some reputations.
Speaker 7 (02:21:53):
He likes to these nuts jokes. Right, Yes, that's what
I've been told. You imagine him delivering the punch lad
under these.
Speaker 6 (02:21:59):
Dee, that's what he should have on the Shane Gillis,
Oh my gosh, it is. I want him to like
like when mc jones over here, I do. I do
want him though somehow because Pat Pat McAfee was a
d nuts guy too, right, oh huge, Jay Wright. What
I want is like on the set of College Game. Now,
wouldn't you be shocked because we've heard, well Corso dropped
(02:22:20):
the S bomb on it before right here in Houston,
right just every now and then, Well Nick.
Speaker 7 (02:22:25):
Dropped an S bomb on it.
Speaker 6 (02:22:26):
Yeah, and I don't even it's not even seven second, la,
he just drops it in your goat's cable TV.
Speaker 4 (02:22:30):
Right.
Speaker 6 (02:22:31):
Well, I want Nick to like look at Pat or
Herb Street because kirk So dialed it right, and McAfee's
doing his thing, and I want him to say like
when they go like maybe let's say they're doing it
in New York or Detroit somewhere for a college I
don't know wherever it is close now for a great
pizza play, because I spin all over myself for Notre
Dame game in Chicago. Pizza is delivered fifty miles away, right,
(02:22:53):
and all of a sudden they go in there and say, oh,
you know how they deliver the food up there all
the time, And all of a sudden the pizza is delivered.
And Saban asked him, hey, pat, you want a piece
of this piece of a piece of these nuts? Dude?
Speaker 7 (02:23:04):
Would you fall out? Would you cry?
Speaker 4 (02:23:06):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (02:23:06):
And the whole world would cry because it's Nick Saban
saying it. Yeah, And it would be allowed because guess what,
you're right, what are you gonna do? Take a scholarship away?
We're not gonna have on the show anymore. Oh no,
not you can okay, yeah, yeah, So the point is
it would be a classic.
Speaker 7 (02:23:25):
But yeah, he's a big d's nuts guys, nutsky big answer.
I like it.
Speaker 6 (02:23:29):
I don't want to due.
Speaker 7 (02:23:30):
Do we want to see him do the electric slide?
We probably do? So yeah, yeah, boy talk about.
Speaker 6 (02:23:34):
Still still pretty athletic.
Speaker 7 (02:23:36):
Next thing to tell me he knows how to cabbage
patch like.
Speaker 8 (02:23:38):
I remember he you know, I just happened to see
him once running onto the field with his team, and
I was like, he's not running like a sixty something
year old man. Like he he's still he's he still
can put him up and down.
Speaker 7 (02:23:49):
What does he do that looks old? His hair looks
like he's thirty.
Speaker 6 (02:23:54):
Well, what does Nick Saban do that that comes across
his little or old old school? Well, the way he
coached his team, the way he goes about getting people
to show up on time, and all other than that,
I think he's got a funny sense of humor and
I like him, and I would somebody needs to tap
him on the shoulder, say, dude, God's nuts on this one.
I would frigging cry.
Speaker 8 (02:24:11):
The craziest thing to ever find out was when I
first saw him in person, I didn't even think it
was him because I was like, he's not that short.
Speaker 6 (02:24:20):
Oh yeah he is, He's not that short. He is,
Like there's no way you can set a drink on
top of his head.
Speaker 8 (02:24:24):
Yeah yeah, Like I was like, I was like, there's
no way he don't mess up the hair. I mean,
it's seriously though, And then I'll never forget being at
Georgia Dome SEC Championship. He was coming back from his
press conference and I was talking with somebody and it
almost was like watching Darth Vader coming down the hallway,
like he had the cops with them security, and I mean,
and it was just that presence, and you're like.
Speaker 6 (02:24:45):
Well, i's got to say the one word that describes
him as presence. You know he's in the building. And
even when you don't know he's in the building, there's
a different are a different I don't know, reverence. Yeah,
whatever it is, it comes over the building when a
guy like him, those certain guys, and we've seen it.
We can name a guy now if all of a
sudden in this town, well in a lesser way the
(02:25:07):
way I could when Elijah Won walks in somewhere. Yeah,
it's almost as if Royalty is coming, like some savior
walked through the door.
Speaker 7 (02:25:15):
It really is.
Speaker 6 (02:25:16):
So speaking of that was a great line by Powell
when he was in the plane. He said, when we
saw it on Twitter yesterday about your saviors here whatever
it was, Yeah, in Maverick, so in top Gun. But yeah,
there are certain people, you know how it is that
that the room kind of knows they're there even when
you don't. Yeah, it's impressive and saving pulls that weight.
And I'm not sure he plays it to the hilt.
(02:25:36):
I'm sure, but he doesn't seem like he seeks it out.
But when you do what he's done success wise, and
then you apply some sense of humor to it, he's
got a good gig right now.
Speaker 7 (02:25:44):
He's real good. At Michael Berry's here today.
Speaker 6 (02:25:46):
I didn't know that. Well, there you go. They had,
by the way, Joe speaking of guys who let's see,
he's bizarre. Yeah, with bizarre. When the tzar is in
Johnson did too. They there you go, and he's waiting
on trump mate, there you go. I will never recover
financially from.
Speaker 7 (02:26:05):
This when the tzar is around. Yes, what there you go.
Speaker 6 (02:26:09):
When Michael Barry's asking, he's the presence in this, but
right Michael Barry's oh, yeah, there's the there's the bizarre.
Speaker 7 (02:26:16):
He's in the building.
Speaker 6 (02:26:17):
Different, there's there's a presence in the building. And uh,
and then he'll make you laugh while he's doing it.
It's it's stages. It's you hear he's showing up, then
you smell the cigar smoke. Then it's bizarre himself. There
you go, my guy, and uh tell you what if
there's a commercial red across his country, he's got it and.
Speaker 7 (02:26:35):
He does it US customs and coin. He's the very best.
And dun over there, get you set up.
Speaker 6 (02:26:42):
Michael Barry is one of the ald timers, one of
my favorite people on the planet. Southern out of his
frigging mind right, he is in a good way. Yes, love, Yes,
for sure. Joseph will get you involved.
Speaker 8 (02:26:54):
Also, do you want to get to that culture thing
before we get out of here today?
Speaker 7 (02:26:57):
So still got that for you?
Speaker 8 (02:26:59):
Makes just to hear where you're going with the culture
to it'll make sense, It'll make sense. We'll have that
for you right here. It is Sean Salisbury Show Sports
SOX seven to ninety.
Speaker 2 (02:27:08):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show, Salsbury.
Speaker 1 (02:27:12):
That's beautiful.
Speaker 6 (02:27:15):
You would have been more frustrated in your voice. I
swear I thought you were going to say he's experiencing discomfort,
that I was going to quit on the spot and
open up a can and go to and go nuts.
I felt like that.
Speaker 8 (02:27:29):
I felt like my tone, hopefully at least in my mind,
I felt like my tone was. I mean, it probably
could have been No, your tone was.
Speaker 6 (02:27:35):
Right that that's why I didn't like please didn't It
didn't interrupt to say please don't tell me any bad news.
This just came down right, Hunter Brown, right the way
you said of the month, right when you're your your
decibel level, when it went up like the enthusiastic collect Okay,
this is something good.
Speaker 7 (02:27:50):
But initially when you thought I said, please, don't.
Speaker 8 (02:27:52):
Tell me something first first Astroid and when it since
Garrett Cole in twenty nineteen, so you want to know
a guarantee. Oh and I almost missed this Josh Hater
the al reliever of the month.
Speaker 6 (02:28:07):
And about Hunter Brown, now maybe the same with Josh Hater,
who's going on OSI. Well, he hasn't blown a save yet.
One game he blew, giving up the home run right
where he got the loss.
Speaker 7 (02:28:17):
I think it was that game.
Speaker 6 (02:28:18):
Is there's This will not be the last time that
Hunter Brown wins American League Pitcher of the Month. It
will not be the last time. We're headed for something
pretty special with that guy. For sure, We're gonna try
to get to the culture thing here. If a couple
of minutes left, but Joseph wants to win, you in Joseph.
Speaker 7 (02:28:37):
Good morning, Yes, how you doing very well?
Speaker 6 (02:28:41):
How are you?
Speaker 18 (02:28:43):
I got a problem, hugous problem. Ooh, what is the
situation with Johnston? Yet him up there in the major League?
Speaker 7 (02:28:54):
Didn't you bring him back?
Speaker 3 (02:28:56):
And he.
Speaker 8 (02:28:57):
Yeah, Judge, I'm sorry your connection, but I think I
got an idea. I thought it was my ear piece.
So Singleton is at triple A right now with sugar Land.
I mean, he was a guy that didn't make the
roster out of camp, no more options left, so he
had to sign with somebody else, went to the Mets
minor league system and is now back.
Speaker 6 (02:29:19):
I mean, did was his suggest that he wants Singleton
to be the strong first base Yeah, I mean at
least you know up here with the team.
Speaker 8 (02:29:25):
And I mean you've got Christian Walker who plays every
day over there, and last couple of games, I understand
it's the Rockies, but he's always hit well in Colorado.
That I mean, you're you're going to go with them
until you reach the point where you can't. Last year
with jose A. Brady reached the point where you can't.
Speaker 6 (02:29:41):
Well, here's what I'm going to tell you. In my opinion,
I have so much respect for John Singleton, his story
and his game and the way he's the good teammate
that he has been right, he's not going to start
first pace unless they have nobody. I'm just telling you
he's not. If they have to do that move, that
move would be you're going to go out at the trade.
Speaker 7 (02:30:00):
But you're not.
Speaker 6 (02:30:00):
Because they paid him, they expect it. You're starting to
see him pick up. They expect him to get hotter
as the season goes on. And as much as I
know people there's an affinity for Singleton here, left handed
bat with some power, the truth of the matter is
it you're not upgrading by putting John Singleton in place
of Christian Walker.
Speaker 7 (02:30:15):
You're just not. And that's no disrespect to Singleton.
Speaker 6 (02:30:18):
It's just a fact.
Speaker 7 (02:30:19):
If he was, he wouldn't have been in a roster crunch, right.
And and I'm with him.
Speaker 6 (02:30:24):
You go in there and you get some pop and
John play some pretty steady first base, and I look,
like I said, I'm big on the story, but I
don't think you're You're not getting a two ninety hitter
on a raiser.
Speaker 7 (02:30:34):
You're just not gonna get that production.
Speaker 6 (02:30:35):
And you're hoping Christian Walker and when you invest that
kind of money and time into somebody, you're going to
exhaust every situation before you make a change. Now, put
to somebody. Caroteena may get some run like we've seen.
I'm just talking about your every day guy. I have
a hard time believing that all of a sudden they're
going to wake up in August to say, you know what,
Christian Walker was not our starter anymore.
Speaker 7 (02:30:56):
That may be an off season situation.
Speaker 4 (02:30:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:30:59):
He's gonna get every opportunity not to keep the job.
Eighty games in, that's not enough for them to say,
put somebody else, and last two games has gotten hot.
Hopefully that continues. It'd be nice, for sure, tell me
about this culture thing.
Speaker 8 (02:31:10):
Kevin Pullar just announced his retirement from Major League Baseball.
He was most recently with the Rangers. He was on
Foul Territory TV yesterday to make the announcements and asked
about his time with the Rangers, and let's just say
he did not give a glowing endorsement to those guys
up north.
Speaker 6 (02:31:28):
Triple you got it, tripley hit that hit? That sound
for uh, the Pullar sound? That Dan gotcha? You got
that available?
Speaker 4 (02:31:36):
The I just closed it.
Speaker 6 (02:31:39):
Oh, we'll try to find dude. Can we pull it
back up? We got We're there, we go back up.
Speaker 21 (02:31:44):
I thought they would be a little bit tighter as
a group. I thought it would be like, uh, you know,
kind of like my experience in Atlanta. That was probably
one of the tightest groups since uh you know, I
was in in Toronto. It's like everyone just you know,
pulled on the same Everyone wanted to hang out, everyone
wanted to do everything together. Everyone, you know, winning was
(02:32:07):
the most important thing.
Speaker 8 (02:32:09):
And he even went as far as to say, you'd
get to the clubhouse at times you wouldn't see guys
until the game.
Speaker 7 (02:32:15):
That also, when was he there? He was there this year.
Speaker 6 (02:32:19):
Pallar just finished there this year. Right that he is retired,
he walked Away's played, He played a couple thousand games,
and he figured that, you know, some of the struggles
that the plate started to seep over.
Speaker 7 (02:32:27):
But basically it was not a tight knit group.
Speaker 6 (02:32:30):
And I could tell you I was gonna say, if
it's not a discipline group, that's not a Bochie team.
Maybe last year some of that stuff crept in into
this year and that's it. Because Bochie usually runs a
pre he's a good hell of a manager, but people
love playing for him. I'll tell you this sounds a
little bit like what Cliff what Fraser was talking to.
Clint Fraser was talking about. Not Cliff, Clint Fraser was
talking about with the White Sox, but different, they're better.
(02:32:51):
But the commitment to how you win and how you
go about your business, it's odd if.
Speaker 8 (02:32:55):
The Rangers are sellers at the deadline, you'll be interesting
