Speaker 2 (00:27):
Welcome back to the Shawan Salisbury Show.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
You're on Sports Talk seven any Shn Salisbury, Brown, Limomanuel Elmore.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Astros beat the A's.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
They are in Los Angeles tonight taking on the Angels.
Eight thirty eight is the first pitch seven thirty on
Deck show right here on seven on your home for Astros, Baseball,
Texans and Bears.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Sunday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Buffalo Bills dominated the Miami Dolphins last night in Thursday
Night Football.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Let's hear from the skipper of the Astros.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
John Singleton had himself a night or a day, I
should say, three for four with an RBI two runs.
He led the team in him and hits him in
the jiner. Both had three hits a piece. This is
what Joe Spota had to say about John Singleton.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Big hits.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You know, he gives you a quality of bat finds
the barrel, you know, ability to walk. So you know,
I've thrown a few a few guys out there and
maybe one finds a way too, you know, contribute, and
John has done a really really good job.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
And that's Joe spot of talking about John Singleton. Shown
over the last thirty games for John Singleton, he's hit
He's hitting two sixty five bombs, twelve RBIs with a
nine to forty oh ps. In his last seven games,
he's hitting three sixty eight with a bomb, three RBIs
and a over eleven hundred ops.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Dana Brown said he wanted a nine hundred ops first baseman.
He got one right now at least in in uh
in this run, right, and it's good. It's it's been
fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, he's been he's been good as of.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
He's a guy right now, he's a guy you got
to play at first Place. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's a welcome site for sure, because you know they
were they were experimenting with the zenzo over there. Obviously,
Victor Carretti got some run, Yaner got some run, and
John Singleton just kind of quietly been being pretty consistent
so far over the last or not so far, but
over the last like I said, thirty games, it's been
nice man.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Good for good for singing John Singleton.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Good guy's been resilient, has they sure as they've tried
to replace him, Yeah, and he's been resenting.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, But then as you look through this lineup Yinter
last night three for four, Kyle Tucker had two hits.
Good thing, good, good to see Kyle Tucker kind of
getting back into the flow of things.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Obviously he has not played outfield.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
He's probably gonna play outfield this weekend in Los Angeles
against the Angels.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
And then, like I said earlier, Jason Hayward last night
one for three with two RBIs hit himself a home
run and had himself a walk, adding some depth, I
got to start and ride field. Du Bond was two
for four, two RBI, playing at second base because of
Altuve and Bregman, Alvarez and Jeremy Paine all oh for
(03:26):
over thirteen. But the Astros going into the eighth inning
the game was tied two to two. They put up
a four spot and get the six runs. Then you know,
scattered a couple of runs between giving up two runs.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Was yeah, yeah, they put them away, and it was
like I said, it may not be the way you
want it and leaving runners in scoring position on top
of the order not producing much, but when you can
win those kind of games, it's a that's a good thing. Yeah,
they don't need to play. They don't need to eagle
every hole between now and the end of the season.
(04:00):
They just need to be smart and not beat themselves.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
They don't beat themselves.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
They win the division and now it's a whole new
and now we get to reset and after this season
if they win the division, I don't see how anybody
I know the expectations here are higher about the overall
product that to this year was kind of It has
been up and down, inconsistent sometimes and brutally inconsistent at
others and then phenomenally consistent at other times in stints
(04:29):
and you know, in short stints or what was we
had heard yesterday eighteen game instints? Right, yeah, Tom told
us so, I the whole thing is you got to
the finish line. Well, the part of the finish line.
You've got the rehearsal done, and that's winning the division.
Now it's you get into the postseason. They'll have to
be more consistent, they'll have to stay healthy, and they'll
(04:50):
have to have their entire al tu Vane Bregman is
close to full strength as you can get them, and
hope that Verlander picks it up. If not, then he
won't be a starting pitcher in the postseason, he'll go
do your thing. But sometimes you know, there's a lot
of different ways to get to the finish line. It
hasn't been a pretty route this year, but I quite frankly,
(05:10):
it'll be as satisfying as any season when all said done,
if they get to their if they get where they.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Want to go.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, with all the adversity, they have no question being
ten back in the division. Now they're up four and
a half games. There's seventy eight and sixty eight. I
think the if and when they win this division. The
craziest thing is with the playoff format, we're gonna have
to see them go through a wild card and then
get to the division series. So I'll be even more
(05:36):
of a test with your rotation, guys that are banged up.
You're gonna have to go through that wildcard, that three
game series first, and then go into a division round,
which I don't think we've seen in When was the last
time they played in a wildcard against the Yankees back
in twenty fifteen or whatever it was.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Is that how long it's been, Well, we're going this
will be eight years if you get the Alcs. Yeah,
I don't know how how many so have all seven
of these been division winning or got to the ALCS
without winning a division? Have they won the division all
seventh straight year? They don't think so?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Have they? Well, we'll see playoffs.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Has every single one of these ALCS runs been all
seven of them been division winning runs as well?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I'm pulling it up.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Has it any time somebody else beat them in the
division but they've got in a wild card and.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Min No, it's it's been all divisions.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
They won the division seven straight years along with the
ALCS seven straight years, so it's a hell of a run.
And this year if they win the division to get
the ALCS, it may not have looked the same, but
you know what, you change shirts and from spring to summer,
right and some summer to fall and fall to winter
or there, or the way you wear your clothing. They've
worn it a little different this year, but the result
(06:47):
hopefully will be the same.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, Because twenty fifteen Dallas Kygle pitched against the Yankees
and then they lost the that was in the wild
card and they lost lost to the Royals in the
Division series, and then twenty six they missed it. Twenty
seventeen they won the World Series obviously with one hundred
and one wins and then that run started.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Well, then here you and like I said, do you
really care when all is said and done, Let's say
they're playing in the ALCS and win it. Will you
really care how they got there? No, but the story'll
be even bigger because they got there a year with
all these injuries that they had no business getting there
with injuries correct, Yeah, and slow starts in ten games out,
So that can be very satisfying at times, more satisfying
than just going out and dominating from start to finish. Now,
(07:31):
there's the ego macho thing of dominating to start to finish,
but there's a lot of growth and character built on
when you have to rely on somebody when things aren't
going their best.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Watch.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
How many people scramble from your life when you go
through difficult times. Well, we'll go test that theory in
your own life.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
So when I'm not saying here, great loyal fans to them,
but you know, everybody's got an opinion, and we get
frustrated because you know, we're not out there playing and
we want them to win.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
But the truth of the matter.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Is is this would be a very satisfying season because
after their start, nobody thought they'd be here other than them.
At ten games out, we could have talked to a
bunch of them, a very few would have said, oh,
they're winning the division. Now. We had some that believe
they were gonna get on a run, but I don't
think many of us thought they're going to come back
from this and play this that. They just didn't feel
like they had the capabilities with all the injuries of
(08:19):
doing it. But they've had different guys in different positions
step up and here we are.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, it's been really, really impressive. As we get closer
and closer to the playoffs. They are sixteen games away
from the end of the season. Their magic number is thirteen,
and they take on the Angels tonight. All right, let's
switch and talk a little football. Texans big match up
this Sunday night against the Bears. We'll discuss the next
(08:45):
right here on Sports Talk seven.
