Soulsby. Okay, let's do this. Sewan Salisbury, there to usc truths.
Longtime friend Shawn Salisbury, Brian Lima, go lobos. This is the
Sewan Salisbury Show. Hi, goodmorning, Good morning fellas. Let me
(00:25):
tell you something, brother. Ihaven't had cell phone service, I don't
have power. I don't know whatthe hell's going on in the world.
Aside from everything that I that II need to talk to your generator people.
Do you know I've had generated peoplecome out and say, well,
one can't fit on the side ofone can That's why I don't have a
generator. So I'm getting one.If they got to put it on top
of the house and I don't givea rats ask where they are to go.
(00:46):
Yeah, that's why I'm saying.It's a connection. You can count
on it. It's a tradition unlikeany other. Yeah, that's the masters,
dude, I got news for Ihope our callers are listening because at
no time I woke today for thefirst time at four point thirty getting ready
to leave after beads of sweater,next sweat and everything. I'm not telling
about anything they don't know. I'mjust talking from our experience. I know
(01:07):
a lot of people going through It'snot a bitch fest. But first off,
great, we come in with thehurricanes blowed side was blowing me from
the fast lane to the slow laidyesterday. Well, we we're business as
usual. The rest of the lineupdecided they're going to stay home for the
most part, But I digress.Okay, with that no TV, no
(01:33):
internet, I couldn't text going showingup eight hours late, I have no
If you said, Sean, didyou realize that downtown Houston caught on fire
and blew up, I'd say,really, no clue. This morning is
the first time I saw it.Well, I'm not. I'm just saying
for coming on to entertain people,huh. I hope they're entertained by them
calling in and telling us what happenedin the sport because and we don't have
(01:56):
internet in here. Don't have internet. I can't even get on my phone.
So with that in mind, welcometo our sports showed. That's really
Yeah, we're taking your calls toinform us on everything that happened, and
yeah we're still alive and hopefully peopleout there getting their power back. Mine
literally kicked in finally, at fourthirty this morning, I was meandering around
too, and like like, I'mthinking, no, no sleep because I
(02:20):
don't know about you. We've talkedabout this. If it gets above seventy
yeah, above sixty eight, I'mdone. I got. I stilled at
the ceiling all night, beats sweat. I can't sweat. I keep it.
I've told you you can hang meatin my place. Oh but by
the way, all the meat thatI bought you and a half, I
have to throw that away because becauseit's soured after twenty four or twenty five
hours. But I'm not telling anybodythink they don't know. But if you're
(02:42):
looking for us to tell you thatgreat event we saw on what's going on
in the world, Like I said, something could have blown up and twisted
around. We could have had fourhundred tornadoes hit at about from eleven o'clock
on yesterday, and I would haveno idea. Yeah, no clue.
I have no idea. So yesterdayheadlines, Yeah, I don't have any
Like I really have no idea.At about two o'clock, I think I
(03:05):
lost full cell phone service. Topright of my phone instead of saying at
and T said s S only witha satellite. I don't even know what
the hell that means. I knowwhat SOS means, but the satellite,
I have no idea. I hadit all day and all night. The
only reason I have service now isbecause I got the hell away from my
area. Nobody in the Woolands haspower like it's it's unbelievable. We're the
(03:27):
most inefficient, efficient city in thecountry. Yeah, it's a trip,
dude. I literally you take outis it for those out there? You
know when eleven or like noon orone o'clock hit, I didn't have cell
service at all tell you this morning? Right? Yeah? And so you
see you take your dogs out andwalk him because my one hundred pounds bullies
sweat. I mean he can't barelybreathe in that thing either, because they
(03:47):
get you know, that short snout. They they need some are take them
walking in neighbors half a block away. Oh no, we didn't lose power.
I'm saying, how does this work? All? No, and even
the ones. And there's a lightcoming right before you come, you know
the light by this by Jordan HighSchool before I'm like, well, let
(04:08):
me get this straight now. I'mI could throw two footballs and hit that
light. And these people are inthe same neighborhood, not to generally,
they weren't going my general there's didn'tlose power, and some have it,
some don't. I'm like, howdoes this work? And how are we
not prepared for this? You knowwhat's coming? And I'm like, so
(04:30):
that light works, but that McDonald'sis closed. My house can't get power,
but I could an underhand softball tossand you got power. It's to
make it, make it sound normal. Give me a bingo card where I
can understand. I mean, I'mnot I mean, i'd be this this
the sharpest tool in the shed allthe time. But I do know that
(04:54):
I would think that the house twoaway across the street might be on the
same grid as So it's just it'sit's a bit baffling to me. And
then it's part of me feels likeyou know when you see the cartoons where
the guy pulls the plug and makesyou laugh and puts like he's twying with
us, right, and then it'llmake him wait a little longer. I'm
thinking, okay, and I'm lookingaround, and then I've also had the
(05:16):
baffling thing where a tree that's thickand deep rooted gets blown over in the
neighborhood and literally two feet away thestick tree doesn't. Have you ever noticed
that flower petal? Flower petals arestill on my flowers. Yeah, Yet
(05:36):
the tree that is the strongest thetrees. Is this like the Chihuahua thing.
That's why, I mean, it'sreally weird to me. I mean,
I'm trying to the phenomenon of Ilook the tree. I'm thinking,
how did that thing? Look atthe roots of that thing and they blow
over? And then the trees sittingnext to it not the same height,
(05:57):
much skinnier, look like yakobad crane. It's like, how are you?
And how is this bent sideways?I mean, I hang little bird trees
in my front and back tree.It's a little wood there. How's that
thing not blown down the street?Yet the thickest tree in the neighborhood is
laying on his side in the inthe green belt. Dude, I'm driving
home. Just before you make aturn into my neighborhood, there is a
(06:20):
trampoline. Dude, I'm talking aboutwith all the netting up that you sit
in your backyard so your kids don'tfall out. Uh huh. Sitting on
the center you know, the centerarea that separates both sides of the road,
sitting there like somebody took it froma backyard and planted it there so
like they were having like a jumpvest in them in the neighborhood was closed
(06:43):
down, but it was on.It was on a fairly busy on the
busier street. And I'm like that, literally what happened is that thing was
lifted up by wind. Sit rightthere, and I'm driving my I put
my car reverse because no cars,I said, Am I seeing what I'm
seeing here? Yeah? Are youreally telling me that somebody's trampoline left their
yard with their power on? Mindyou and mind not, but and landed
(07:09):
here. And then the phenomena ofa lazy people. There's a cart in
the middle of the the middle ofthe road from HGB and cars have to
go around it and stop. Isaid, I got a great idea,
move it. Put your car onpark, turn your flashers on and move
the damce move it into the grassand lay it down so it doesn't slide
anymore. So I'm leaving today.The cart's still laying down, but I
(07:31):
gotta I'm thinking, are you peoplethis bad? That you do, but
you'll take the time to go aroundit, shove your car verse to go
around it, but you won't worryabout the car behind you. Just move
it. It's it's you're not gettingIt wasn't raining, it was sprinkling.
It would have taken you thirty seconds. So the phenomenon all if people go
wacko, Yeah, I don't knowwhat they're thinking yet you across the street
(07:53):
got powered right, and I don't, and it just it's been on me.
So back to that. That's asentertaining as it gets, folks,
So tune in for the next fourhours, because maybe the guys who stayed
home yesterday can tell us what's goingon today. Tripley do you uh?
Did you have power yesterday at all? Own and off man? No service
barely only if the Wi Fi wasworking, and that was barely working too,
sad Wi Fi finally kicked it atfour thirty this morning. That's it.
(08:16):
And then you get here and it'snot in so I don't did did
we have any baseball games yesterday?Did the Olympics start? Where do they
start? I don't know. We'realready in July nineteen. I think it's
July. It's this month. Letme google it. Was there a w
NBA game played? I can't,I can't google. Yeah, I can
tell you. I don't have WiFi on. We got some soccer stuff
(08:37):
going on. Helpe America watching itover the weekend. Okay, America is
not in it because those bombs lostto like you call them bombs, they
are bombs. I mean those bombs. We are as a nation when it
comes to United States men's national team, we are a joke. We're about
four generations behind. We are waybehind. Yeah. I don't know what
(08:58):
did Kaylin Clark play last night?Angel Reese? I don't know, but
she played the fool Rereen over theweekend. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know what happened. Ican tell you who's pitching tonight for the
Astros? Whose turn is it?Rag Getty? Was the Sunday start right?
Uh? Huh? Yes? Whopitches tonight? Next thing you're gonna
(09:18):
tell me is we missed the factthat Diesel Kyle Tuger's play that Garcia starts
tonight? Is that Diesel? Idon't know. I have no idea.
I thought h Brown pitched over theweekend. I don't think it's his turn.
Didn't he pitch before I was Iwas prepping for To me, it
feels to me Blanco, Yeah,well maybe I'll throw a no hit or
(09:41):
another one just to shove it inthe All Star voters face that I do
know that he didn't make game.Do you think do you there's one thing
I did here? I heard StanUh talking about this yesterday him and Ross
Uh. Do you think that?Because hey, look here we go,
we can talk about this next segment, Boom got our first tease of the
morning, talk about what do youthink that the Major League Baseball voters held
(10:09):
the sticky substance against him? Mhmm, good question, Brian, because
one of the biggest yeah, oneof the one of the big things was
his inning innings pitched was down Wat'sbecause he served a ten game suspension,
and then it was talked about whatdoes major League Baseball hold that against him?
(10:30):
Oh, you use sticky substances.I don't care if your eight and
three record two point five ERA,you're not going to get the nod and
over. Cole Reagan's an eight andthree record, an eight and three record
on a even without a ten gamesuspensions impressive. Yeah, so you're talking
about just like holding to him themorals part of it, Yes, because
(10:54):
he sweats a lot and put Rosinon his wrong arm and see, and
he suffered. My ole thing isand don't if you're gonna hold it against
him, don't suspend him. Here'swhy if you was so, he's supposed
to get punished twice. That's howwe worked the right. Look, so
you punish him, give him histen game suspension. But then we're supposed
to say, now let's hold itagainst him because well he might have been
he might have done it another time. Well he didn't do it another time.
(11:16):
And here's why, because they checkwhenever you come to side to dug
out. So if they didn't findit, then they found at one.
Okay, good, he suffered,Yeah, Rob Peter, p Paul,
but he's paying for other people.He got hose big time. Robert Flores
was going to join us today.I moved him to Thursday because I didn't
know that. I talked to himover a week and I said, you
(11:37):
know, this is kind of puta monkey wrench in our plans as far
as I didn't know what was goingto go on with the power and the
rest of it, And I said, can we move. Yes, Well,
he'll join us later in the weekand he you know, as an
Astros fan and right, but he'llhe also is a straight scoop guy.
I believe so. And I've workedwith Robert at ESPN, one of the
great guys and loves sports and he'sgot a great sense of humor but also
(12:00):
is pretty pretty uh fair in hisassessment of even his home team. Yeah,
and like fromber, I'm curious justto see what they because I couldn't
watch TV yesterday to fan find outwhat they feel about the Ronel Blanco snub
on MLB Network and what Robert hassay still joints later in the week.
But it's just I'm I'm it's it'squite frankly, it's Blanco tonight, actually
(12:22):
right, he deserved yet, SoI didn't you guys say that? Right,
He's pitching tonight and Flores will giveus an idea of what he thinks
the reason why Blanco didn't make it. Yeah, Blanco versus Trevor Rodgers.
Trevor Rodgers one and nine for theMarlins. Yea, he didn't make the
All Star team. He did notone and nine with a almost five e
(12:45):
R. Do you think Major LeagueBaseball held the sticky substance against for now?
Blanco will discussed the next right hereon sports Stock seven to eighty more
Sean Salisburg, get in, strapin and write in that happened again.
That happened back in eight when HurricaneIke came through right up forty five took
(13:09):
him I think five months to getthat stuff fixed. And training camp is
supposed to start in a couple ofweeks. They better get moving, cal
and uh, Nicky c know anygood contractors. Do you think that Nicky
sees not only judge itatalities, judgingroofers and contractors. Yeah you should,
that's what you think Nicky sees doing. Yeah. I was like it too,
(13:33):
And you wake up, you lookout. I'm being facetious. You
look out in the paneling on somepeople's house, completely off on one side,
and it's landed from across the streetin your yard. It's like,
people, bet what it's It's allyou gotta do is be in one fell
swoop a one wrong wind, gustright right. It's nuts man. Yeah,
yeah, I think the NRG willbe ready to go. I hope
(13:54):
I got news for you. That'sthe last storm coming through here this year.
No, I don't, sadly,unfortunately, No, it's July and
we already had a hurricane, isn'tit. Isn't this supposed to be?
I mean the most buddies of mine, buddies of mine, send me message
before this hits, and John,be careful man. The water's warm a
lot sooner and hotter than it's normallyhere in Florida. Yeah, and you're
(14:15):
in the Gulf, right, mybuddy who lives out there, and I'll
be damned, and they you know, they check on you because they know
it's coming. It's like, sad, this isn't this supposed to be an
active season? Right? It is? Most it's apparently on record. Let
it be a lesson because you knowit's coming. Sadly, I'd rather be
prepared and have it drop in twoinches of rain and say what do we
(14:35):
prepare for? Then not be preparedand yeah, you know you're sitting there
and you can't your food spoiled,and you wonder why you didn't do it.
You got to now repair your housebecause you didn't prepare for it,
or I don't know how you preventthat if it's it comes that part of
it. But I don't you know, whether it's you cooling down or gassing
up your vehicle or all those thingsthat you gotta do. But there's still
(14:56):
a lot of people that are wakingup this morning miserable. And yeah,
we're just talking sports and that's notthat big a deal. But for those
that what about somebody with a twoyear old right in the forecast today it
must be like ninety five with theone oh two heat in decks. Yeah,
those those folks, how uh howare they going to feel this morning
with your young and not only that, with the worry of you know,
(15:16):
with dogs and children and stuff.You and I can handle it. Yeah.
Can you know, somebody, whatif you have a couple of twins
and you're you're a new parent andyou're like, oh my gosh, what
am I gonna do? Yeah?So, man, I just those when
mother Nature decides to hit, shecan be brutal. That's for damn sure.
Seven one, three, two,five, seven ninety. It's got
out the phone lines early here onthe show. What's up, Billy?
(15:37):
Hey, good morning, guys.I hope y'all came out of the storm.
Okay, we got some families thatare staying with us because they ain't
got power. So we're just reachingout and trying to help when we can.
Uh, you know, it's is. It is tough out here.
If you're leaving for work, giveyourself some extra time. A lot of
lights out, A lot of peopleare already angry and kind of acting foolish
(15:58):
and don't need to get anybody hurtafter if you got through yesterday, no
reason to get hurt for some foolishlist like this. But on the Astros
side, I'm put on my astroshat first. Yeah, you dang right,
they held it against us. Blancoshould be in the All Star Game.
Now, let me go to therealistic side. Yes, Blanco's had
a great year, but it's beenvery quiet. And he has a no
(16:22):
hitter. Yes we know that,but immediately, I mean, what just
a few stars have to the nohitter. He is accused, falsely or
otherwise for having a sticky substance onhis hand. I can't understand how some
players would would horror some people wouldhold that against him. And as much
as I think he should be inthe All Star Game, and I do
(16:44):
think he should, there's a lotof people that that's all they see,
so they're kind of blinded, andI kind of get it, trying to
take the realistic approach. But ina lot of ways, I'm glad he's
not going to be in the AllStar Game. I'm glad that Tucker's healthy
enough to be in the All StarGame. I love the fact that our
guys get the accolades and they should. They deserve it, but I'd rather
(17:07):
them get the rest because we needto get healthy for this playoff push and
I do think they're going to makea playoff push. So that's just my
opinion. And uh, you know, that's worth about nothing, but that's
where I'm at with it. No, it's worth something to us because I
believe I think you're spot on.Man, I'm with you. I want
for those guys, you know,to be in the All Star Game,
(17:30):
like Blanco, because he's thirty.You never know when he's gonna have another
season like this. He may havefive more like this, but who knows
when you're gonna get elected, Soit's a it's a special thing for him.
But you know, you drive on. But I'm with you as a
team guy, rooting from I'd lovehim to get rest because with the injuries,
they're gonna need it. So No, your opinion is not only valid,
I think it's spot on your root. For the at least they you
(17:51):
know, the Tuckers get recognized,and it's going to get an opportunity,
you know, to say many anAll Star again, but not healthy enough
to play in Blanco. There's thatbone to pick like, would have been
nice for people to recognize him andget chosen if he had to throw one
inning that's great too, But Ithink we all know he's an All Star
even though they didn't vote him in. But the rest is going to be
(18:11):
much needed and hopefully it'll work tothe astro's advantage, even though it's a
bummer for him that he didn't getto say he's a twenty twenty four All
Star. Great. Yeah, andone quick question for you, Sean and
Brian. I'd just like to getboth your opinions and triple Eve for that
matter. Do you think that lowPerfido will be helping this team on the
(18:32):
field later in the year or doyou think he's more likely to help this
team via trade. I personally amon the I believe that low Perfida is
gonna be traded. He's not aDana Brown guy. His metrics, his
analytics are not terrible, but notgreat. It's not like the second Coming
of Tucker, and I think he'sgoing to be traded. Just like to
get y'all the opinion on that.You have a great, great morning to
(18:56):
be saved out there. Thanks Bill, appreciate it, Buddy. I don't
think low Prafido is going to gettraded, but he'd be a great piece
if you wanted to get a betterplayer. I think he's gonna be coveted.
I'm sure. I'm not sure they'regoing to move him. Billy.
I get what you're saying because youthink, Okay, got some major league
experience. He's got pop and power, can play first base, can play
all three outfield positions if you needhim to, can run. I understand
(19:21):
that if you say, Okay theAstros. Astros believe their World Series team
they're missing another arm or a bigbopper at first base, whatever their thought
is. Low Perfito they got andthey can use Dubon and McCormick and Myers
in the outfield. Low Perfido amoving part. I believe he's an asset
that people will cove it. Idon't think he's going to be traded.
I think he is going to helpthis team since if he doesn't get traded,
(19:44):
I believe he's going to help thisteam because of his versatility, and
I believe that he's got a futurehere. But if you wanted to get
a good player, he'd be aguy, and I think you would have
to dangle out there. I getthat. I don't want him to go
yet, but I think Billy's ontosomething when he says that, you could
understand why he would be a danglinga Part two if you wanted an important
(20:08):
part to a trade. If you'retrying to go get somebody, somebody that
you think can make a difference rightnow, it's a bopper at first base
or another arm that you think,okay, and that the last piece is
we want low Perffedo. I'd getthat. So but if he doesn't get
traded, I don't think he spendsthe season in the minor leagues. I
think he spends the season here.That's I do. Yeah, somebody,
(20:30):
I believe Brian with all my heart. Somebody's already acquired about him. I
think with like what we saw wherethey didn't give him run at first base
at the major league level. Obviously, we've heard it time and time again
where they want him to be inthe outfield. Brown said, he's an
out He's an outfielder, right,So I think if they don't trade him,
they got to be looking ahead tohaving him in the outfield just in
(20:51):
case they can't resign Kyle Tucker.Okay, well there's your outfielder or the
future, right. Okay, I'mgonna ask you this, as long as
he can cut down on the strikeouts, if you had to get rid of
two of them and keep one forthe for the next couple of years,
McCormick, Myers and low Berfito twogotta go. One gets to stay.
At the trade deadline, who areyou keeping, judge from this year,
which you're looking at the rest ofthe season experience, who's going Chaz is
(21:15):
getting traded? And let's see,I think low Berfieda would get the most
out of it because of his ageand power in what he has. But
Jake Myers pretty good, yeah,and Dana Brown loves Jake Myers, So
you think it'd be low Perfiedo.McCormick, cow think so, Jake Myers.
I think so. They're high onJake Myers, you know. I
(21:36):
mean we heard it from Dana Brownhimself, Joe Espata. They're force feeding
it and he's answered the bell.I'll get credit. He's played good baseball
for a big and had some clutchhits this year, and I think they
still think there's even bigger potential fromhim. Bill Billy makes a good point.
I would inquire about low perfiedto ifI was an opposing team. I'm
with you. I think people havealready done it. Oh there's no doubt.
Yeah, there is no doubt.But remember we thought Corey Lee was
(21:57):
no way going anywhere. True,no way, that's your future and win
tell Dana bens At owner, noIr d is is the future catcher here
and that opened the door to runhim out. So we haven't heard that
yet. But he says he's anoutfielder. Somebody else may say low Berfiedo's
the first baseman andn't want him badenough to say, we'll put him in
it and you can have our Uif you're Toronto, give us. You
know, I'm just throwing a name. Baskets available or whoever is available to
(22:19):
go get. Yeah, we'll see. I think he's a piece that you
could use if you needed it.But I'd sure like to see him play
it out here. Which big leaguerfor the Astros could get traded like an
everyday player? Let's discuss the nextThe Seawan Salisbury show continued. Everybody's going
(22:42):
through something today, you know,and the ones that aren't, thank your
lucky stars. The ones that are. You know, we all got a
bitch or a complain about a hotWe were just be safe and hopefully it
gets restored and it's a bummer.But you know what, when it comes
to like, dude, I hateseeing like all some trees that have been
around forever, yeah, uprooted itjust it really, I mean it's like,
(23:04):
oh my gosh. I know thatsounds like oh show who caresh on
there's humans. Of course, Idon't know about everybody's safe. But when
you're driving anything, how long hasthat tree been growing? You know what
I mean? Just trips me out. I just it just sucks. Like
I said, when mother nature decidesto let the wrath go, it's a
it goes. You know what wetalked about generators? Yep, do you
(23:26):
think that every house that's built nowfrom here on. I know it's gonna
sound crazy. I know the generatorbusiness doesn't want that. I guess maybe
they do if you've got the account. But it almost feels like houses should
be built with generators in a citylike this. You would think automatically that,
yeah, you know how maybe likeyou have to have certain things that
when you would you have to haveit. Yeah, you have to have
water and power. Yep, youhave to choose an energy provider, you
(23:48):
have to. It almost feels likethat when you build a home that a
generator in this city should have tobe part of it. You would think,
you know what I mean, justbecause, like like I said,
some young families with young kids orold you know parents that live with their
(24:08):
they've lost the level or they're they'rethey're older now and they're not at home.
They live with their kids. They'vebeen taking care of you forever.
Now you turn around and take careof them. And one hundred degree weather
two straight days, that power,Yeah, that's enough to kill somebody.
That'sity, yeah, no doubt.Oh yeah, and it's sweltering. So
you think if you had it literallysaves lives for some and I mean,
(24:32):
I'm not here to endorse all thegenerators, but it would seem like,
you know what, we're gonna makethis a This is what we're gonna do
when you build a new home inthis city or a certain you're building.
Generator comes with the home automatic we'remaking when we build it. That is
is there when you move in,just as quickly as your heating and power
there, a generator is there aswell. Brotherly Love Electric, Brotherlyloveelectric dot
(24:53):
com. Yeah, tell you youthink I'm kidding. It's a connection you
can count on. Apparently there's alot of lead time. No no lead
time, no no zero lead time. Shortest lead time in the city right
now. Shortest lead time American madebridges generated. See, even though you
stayed up, we didnt get yoursleep. I though you're still thinking quick
thinking on your feet. It wasthe worst night's leave I've ever gotten in
(25:15):
my life. How quickly can Iget one in uh for you? Yeah?
Tomorrow? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, triple leades. You
have an update for us? Yes, sir, I got Billy. He
called back. He just wanted thecast guys that are over there on the

but in truth, if there's ifyou're leaning. If there's a decision to
be made, the players can playtoo tomorrow if they have to, or

CERs can get the power back up. You guys want to talk sports,
Yeah, you got for any ofthe fact that we have no access to
any of it. All right,the one guarantee for this season for the
Astros after Hurricane Barrel came through,I'm gonna You'm gonna take a guess.
(41:55):
Yeah, yeah, I do WorldSeries plan, the parade plan the parade
you think, because it's happened once, So you're encouraging weather to hit so
we can win a World Series.Yeah, that's what you're that's the way
(42:15):
you're going to. Did y'all twistthat? You're making it like screw the
people? How did y'all twist that? Because in the in the people are
going to be happy because they wona World series even though they're doing it
with no power. That's how youall twist that. Honestly, that was
that's impressive, both of you guys. Futrid By you triple E gasl like
you and then you just you youpressle it man. Yes, yeah,
(42:40):
I took from it too, like, send us bad weather, mother Nature,
so we can win another World Series? Am I wrong? What?
Hell? Just think forty five tornadoes? We may win four in a row.
It's got to be a hurricane.It's got to be a cane correct,
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, all right, yeah, okay,
(43:00):
alright, who's that there? Yougo? Yeah? Hmmm, well
listen, if it means a littlebit of heat, extra log because our
power to work. And you're tellingme like we're gonna be running a parade
later this year. Uh huh.I'll take this extra twelve hours of sweat.
(43:21):
Let's see where were we at?As long as everybody's say July ninth,
August right around the corner September October, let's plan it. October.
Would they beat Philly or the Dodgersin the seven Gamer. I think it's
gonna be Philly again. Okay,so they beat Philly. I had Philly
in the Astros in a rematchss year. Okay, so there you go.
(43:44):
So let's plan it for November nine, November. Yeah, November ninth,
Wednesday, and it'll all be dueto Beryl Hurricane Barrel. Yeah. So
John Whitmyer, Look, I knowyou got a lot going on this morning,
right, and he's probably listening,right, wouldn't you be after came
(44:05):
Barrel is where you want to gofor your entertainment. Yeah, it's definitely
not going to hang out with lenahdalgoing to that. So John, you're
listening playing that parade Buddy Planet,that's a name from the past. She's
still around. I don't issue.Yeah, have you not heard that?
Those two in press conferences together?Way too many? Oh god, dude,
they sound like kindergarteners yelling at eachother, hut each other off.
(44:29):
No things sound worse than the debate. No thanks, I don't need to.
I need to watch Romper Room.It's so bad man. So so
it's dude, the guarantee is becauseof Beryl, because of the cane.
It's get people healthy, don't wina world. Yes, okay, I'm
in Do you think Lance mccullor isjunior pitches this year? Can we say
(44:52):
throws a pitch at a major leagueuniform for the Astros, or starts a
game? What are you asking throwsa pitch, yes, okay, start
a game? Absolutely not, Butthrows a pitch actually appears, Yes,
at some point. I don't knowhow long it's gonna last, but yes,
he throws a pitch. It won'tbe before September first, it'll be
(45:17):
post Labor Day. If he doespost Labor Day. If he throws a
pitch, he ain't starting a gamethough he's not pitching. In my opinion,
I wouldn't throws. I don't thinkhe throws one pitch. I would
bet if you said, sean thousandbucks, you have to bet it one
way or the other. I wouldbet on your side. I'm using some
positive vibes to say, at leastsee it. I'm trying, but I
(45:38):
would not bet it. I wouldnot bet for my side. I would
say I would take the over,meaning it won't be till next year that
he pitches, but I'm hoping thatthat two years is enough to at least
get him in relief role. Ifpost Labor Day. If he doesn't throw
(45:59):
a pitch this year, then whatI think you've got to probably fin what
do you do well? I don'tthink that. Do you think mccullor's is
an astro for life? No?I mean at some point in time,
well, injuries suck. At somepoint in time you got to fish or
(46:21):
cut the bait right, and yougot to go try they gotta they're gonna
have to move, just like withForce Whitley at some point in time.
I know different ones had great successin major leagues and ones trying to.
At some point in time you justgot to move on. Or if he
pitches well, then we're back toLance mccullor's being here. So his health.
You can't just keep saying, I'llsee you in twenty twenty six.
(46:42):
I'll see at some point in time, it's gonna be either pitches here and
is healthy he's a journeyman, orhe pitches somewhere else and is healthy and
has success somewhere else. But youcan't keep holding on to well, we've
got to rehab again, right,we gotta do it again, because in
truth, you're using up a spotfor a lot of money. You just
are now I know he's gonna getpaid anyway, because well, it's guaranteed
(47:04):
money, and I couldn't root harderfor his success. But reality is,
after two years, if you're expectingLance but Colors to carry you on his
back at some point in twenty twentyfour, then a bad idea. But
his stuff is so good. Thequestion is when are you going to see
it? Injury wise, we knowwhat kind of stuff he has and he
wants to compete. If you dosee him, it's post Labor Day.
(47:25):
And I don't think you're going tosee him start a game this year.
I don't think he pitches. That'smy that's my feeling on it. And
this fan base is going to crushhim if that happens. They're already fed
up with him. I well,I think that there. I think that
their wits end with the hell thing. Yeah, and why is it taking
(47:46):
so long? I wouldn't. Ihaven't had that injury. I can't judge
it other than well, which onehe's had, like that's that those arm
injuries. I mean, I've hadknees and shoulders, but I haven't had
you know, the Tommy John VI. I haven't been through what he's been
through. I've been through some otherstuff, a lot of it, so
I can give you pain threshold onother areas. I don't know. It
(48:07):
seems like a long time. Idon't know if he's ever going to be
a star in the league. Well, when it comes to like having that
many arms so close to being great, you wonder if it can ever be
rebuilt to the point where you don'thave arm issues right. And then also
it's like, what is going whatare you doing that is causing this?
Now? Anybody that argues and says, well, no, you see guys
throw harder. Yes, guys willcome back and throw harder from certain things.
(48:30):
I get it. Throwing harder doesn'talways mean throwing better or longer.
Like I said, I couldn't rootharder for him, But you've got to
get to a point where reality's goingto kick in. And reality, listen,
if you go through the season,it does happen, and he honestly
does not pitch at some point intime, you're gonna have to count on
somebody else, which pains me tosay, but I understand fans frustration.
(48:52):
Hell, I'm frustrated with it too. I'm sure he is, but I
don't think Lance mccullors is going tobe a frontline starter for the Astros moving
forward. I just don't know.In his you know what, he may
be one of the great middle reliefguys in baseball if it comes to that.
I don't know, But I hopehis best baseball is still in front
(49:14):
of him. But with the injuries, you got to question it. Yeah,
And I hope he gets tired ofhearing that from people and answers the
beloni he's better than he's ever been. I think we all root for that,
and it'd be nice if it washere. But reality's going to kick
in. Do you think Force Whitley'sever going to be a star? A
star? No? Do you thinkhe's ever getting a front line starter where
he gets thirty starts? No,twenty eight starts. He'll be at best
(49:35):
a serviceable arm in the bullpen forthe Astros or somebody else hearing or somebody
else, yeah, or somebody else. It's a bummer to say that,
but in reality's got to start tokick in at some point. Right Yet,
in the process, you root forgood comebacks, and he was Actually
he threw in a minor league gamea couple nights ago, right Force Whiteley.
So he's before I get excited,I got to see it. Yeah,
yeah, So we'll see if hecan make his way back to the
(49:58):
big blue level. It sucks forhim, I mean philansper Colors as well.
Like these injuries are just way toocommon with the Astros these days.
Too many pictures getting hurt. There'sthere's I gonna. I don't know if
it's just tough luck or if there'resomething else going on. I don't know.
It's just there's a lot of them, a lot of arm and shoulder
issues. Yep. Sure is toomuch discomfort going around. Bad word when
(50:22):
it comes to pictures. Yep,no doubt. Let's get to the steak

to Sean Salisbury. All right,Sean, what are you hearing out there
(52:15):
now? The Salisbury takeout, sALSBF takeout on the Sean Salisbury Show.
(52:52):
Let's get to the steak out hereon the Sean Salsbury Show. Hoose al
tube not a part of this takeout. But you know who is Joey Lopraffito.
Joey Loperffeto. Uh, that's KyleTucker's bone bruise, uh healing apparently,
(53:19):
word on the street, word onthe street. Yeah, Tripley.
He's our resident streets inside of Tripley. Can't compartment healing. Nice man,
We need him back even though they'rewinning. Could use him. A hundred
rbi bat in the lineup would benice. And they fiel me dog.
(53:42):
Yeah, you know what, they'veThey've played well without him, and that's
important. Good teams do that whentheir best players are out. Atlanta's staying
afloat without their best You know whatI'm saying they Alanta's doing their thing without
a Cunya. I mean, yougotta, you gotta hang in there,
and they the good ones do.And when you lose what I think is
their best all around player. Ididn't say best of it, but I
think Tucker is losing him, You'regonna have somebody's gonna have to elevate their
(54:07):
game. And it feels like theyhave and they needed to move in June
and early July, and they haveand they've moved it within two games,
which is really good. And theyshould dismantle Miami here at home. In
my opinion, they should. Sweetthey should. And then the Rangers,
I mean they're better than the Rangers. The Rangers are always the thorn.
I mean, they've they've got potentialto, you know, drive a lot
of runs in and they've got bats, and I mean they're the they got
(54:30):
the ring on their finger, they'rethe reigning champion, so you got to
give them respect. And but I'dbe disappointed if they don't win for these
next six head into the All StarBreak, they should. The hell knows
what Seattle is going to do withtheir you know, last handful going into
the All Star break and then hell, if you're fortunate, maybe maybe you're
even going in. That'd be great, that would be and that'd be phenomenal.
Yep, real quick for the stakeout, Yukon and Dan Hurley agree to
(54:53):
a new six year, fifty milliondollar contract. You knew it was common,
knew it was coming. So thatgives him about what you said six
years, which about what a littleover eight that's almost Yeah, it's like
eight point three eight million times six. You said a six year deal,
six years, fifty million, okay, so forty eight Yeah, so a
(55:14):
two million more, that's about you. It was for six years. What's
that? It's yeah eight ft orjust under eight point three right around it.
Yeahah, there you go. Andhe deserves every penny. And when
it comes to basketball college coaches salariesand what he's done, it's back to
back national tile. It's tough enoughto win one of them, let let
alone two in a row. Andgood on him for not taking the Lakers
(55:35):
job, and good on yukonfert keepinghim, and good on Dan for doing
what he's great at, influencing andwinning basketball games and taking care of these
kids when in college, and hecommitted to it, and he didn't just
he didn't just jump into a historicfranchise and the Lakers and a chance to
coach lebron Hell, maybe that's partof the reason why he didn't. He
had to know that they were goingto go draft Bronnie James. Of course
(55:58):
he had to, course course,and I would I would think that he
you know, Dan's a strong personalityand uh, I love I love what
they're doing. And good for himon getting rewarded. That that's a guy
who didn't get rewarded on potentially gotrewarded on production. And there you go.
And that's the way it's supposed tobe. They'll probably be right back
there for a three repeat. Iassure you they'll be in position. Yeah,
(56:23):
he'll have them ready to go becausehe just he won't quit working and
and doing it the right way.Big Fan told you that after last year
and sent him a message. Andyou know, he is a I love
his personality, I love his grind, and I love that he loves college
basketball because college basketball, in myopinion, is far better than the NBA
(56:43):
anyway. That's just me. Iknow college basketball can be slow moving at
times, and you lose to therethere's the stars aren't in it long enough.
The high flyers believe early. Iget it. I just still love,
you know, watching big money inthe n C two A tournament,
and I'd love to see guys hangaround a long and maybe with that,
I l they will, But thegood ones are going to leave and go
play in the NBA because that's beentheir goal forever. Can't blame them that.
(57:04):
I I just loved the pomp andcircumstance of College of College hoops and
then all glad dance date. Alsospeaking of College of basketball, dig Fight
tal in remission from his cancer treatmentin cancer Fight, Yeah, I actually
uh heard from him. I've triedto send him a message a couple last
week because you know, listen,once you've had it, there's always going
(57:27):
to be the concern of doesn't comeback. And he has been one of
the great influences. I think he'sgreat for college sports, in college basketball.
I love, I loved Dicky V. I do and think about all
the money. How's this for Irony, All the money he's raised for the
V Foundation and for CAM I mean, the for his his his galla that
(57:50):
he has every year in Florida,all the money, and now he's won
battling cancer with that you know,recognizable voice. I couldn't and pray for
him harder. And he just hecares about people, and I know people
have got on it because he's soenthusiastic, and I got news for it.
Sometimes you watch because of him.Yeah, And I love If you
(58:10):
want to know a guy who lovesand is grateful for his gig, it's
him, and I just I lovehim, and I'm so grateful that he's
recovering and we need him as longas you know, as long as he
wants to do college basketball. Tome, he's the equivalent in a kind
of a different well, in adifferent way to Lee Corso. Love having
(58:32):
Corso around, right, you knowwhat I'm saying. Just iconic. When
we think college game day, youthink Corso first, you always have.
And when I think college basketball,I know that Jay Billis. To me,
Billis is as good as we have. But when I think about enthusiasm
and love for college basketball, dickBy Tale is one of the first ones
that comes to mind. So that'sgreat news to hear that he's recovering and
(58:54):
one of my favorite people on theplanet. Yeah, hopefully he can get
back to broadcasting. I yes,yes, And you know what, even
though health, obviously the health isthe most important, but he loves I'm
telling you, dude, he lovesbasketball so much in calling games, being
around the broadcast and the fans somuch and the players and watching games in
person, that it's not just health. This isn't just to get healthy.
(59:16):
He'd love to be back calling games. And as long as he's in this
battle in ESPN, ABCA, stickby him because, uh, that'll mean
for a great comeback if we canget him back courtside doing that. So
it's great news when you hear theDicky V's battle And I think you have
to have a great attitude to beatstuff like that. Yeah, And I
think that's a lot of part ofit and a big part of it.
(59:37):
And his attitude is something we allneed. Trust, the resilience, no
question about it, resilience. I'mtelling you, dude, he loves his
career. And he'll be self deprecatingwhat a great coach, right, a
great But I'm telling you what,he's become a Hall of fame broadcaster,
phenomenal, phenomenal love for basketball andthat game phenomenal. He is College of
(01:00:00):
Basketball, there is no doubt,just as well as Lee Corso is college
football. Yep, there's no questionabout it. Sticking with basketball, Anthony
Edwards in the NBA had some interestingthoughts about his role with Team USA as
they get set for the Paris Olympics. What did he say? That's next?
We're there for? The Sewn Salisburyshow continued. I think the Methodist
(01:00:22):
Training Center over off of Kirby.Anthony Edwards obviously parental star in the NBA.
Sean has mentioning things to say aboutthe upcoming Olympics. When is that
again? Did you say it thismorning? What do you mean? When
does the Olympics start? Sometime laterthis month? Let's see he's nineteenth or
(01:00:45):
twenty sixth or something like that.It's late, it's late July, tripley
can you look that up? Yougot internet right now on six twenty six
okay through August the eleventh. Okay? He said, have a wealthy useless
knowledge heat Well is that useless?I mean it's use full. Is it
useful? You think? Yeah?Especially on a morning where we don't have
internet. You know, I didn'thave twenty five hours or two yesterday.
(01:01:07):
Yeah, and I can barely evenget it on my phone still because your
services asked man, Yeah, Ithought it was like I said, it
was the nineteenth or twenty six.I could remember, So it is the
twenty six. There you go.Anthony Edwards says he's the number one option
on the US Olympic team and they'regonna have to figure out how to play
around. He still got to playaround me. Yes, well, let
(01:01:28):
me think, do we got thelist of all the players on the team
triple? Can you get that listup? Who do we got on that
team? Let's go to the OlympicNBA Olympic Basketball roster. Bear with me,
Sean, Yeah, I'm bearing withyou. I uh is he far
off? Though? Do regardless who'son that team? When you read me
those names, I'm gonna tell youwe would just go one by one and
(01:01:52):
we'll say yes or no. How'sthat you think it's Slava Medvedenko? No,
debtlift shrimp, shrimp, shrimp calledshrimp. It's not as h R
I m P debt of shrimp.Yeah, there you go a little at
the head. Just call him debt. Do you think it's uh, what
was his name? Miravich? Ithink it's Bogdanovich. No, it could
(01:02:15):
be. It could be god.Sham god God Yeah, okayam wow Yeah
the sham Way guy. Yeah,great shooter, no Shamwell, guys,
the skinny, the skinny looks likea cartoon character. Yeah, I got
the guys. Okay, one byone, all right, first person,
(01:02:37):
I'll see his bam out of biyo. Uh. Not the number one option,
but a key figure in this becausehe can get on the get to
the glass, and he's a guythat could end up being like a fourteen
point of game score for it.Love bam. Okay, No, not
the number one option. Maybe ohmaybe, dude, he can score.
I think he's I mean, hecould come out of this. You could
(01:02:58):
say he was a leading scorer onthe T so a chance, but probably
not the number one option. ButI get it, Stephen Curry. Not
the number one option, but couldstand out there. And just I mean,
I think you'll limit his minutes.I don't think he's going to play
a ton of minutes. You know, well you don't when you got this
group. It's not like you needto average, you know, thirty minutes
a night. So won't be thenumber one option. But if you need
(01:03:21):
somebody in a knockdown and gets onone of those roles where he's at four
or five in a row. Feedhim, but not the number one option.
Anthony Davis. Well, he'll he'llplay a half because he'll have a
calf's sore calf. So that answeris no yet. If his talent,
dude, if he is healthy though, he could dominate the Olympics. That's
(01:03:43):
a gift that he is. Idon't think it may go through him because
you're not sure if he's going tobe available the whole time. But I
get why if we came out ofthis and said the MVP of the Olympics
when it came to the basketball teamwas I don't even know if they vote
for an MVP in the Olympics.But you could see where he could average
like twenty five a game. Honestly, you really could. He's that talent.
(01:04:03):
Yeah, Okay, Kevin Durant,Kevin probably thinks he's the first option.
Definitely. I think he probably does. But once again, how many
minutes are you really going to wearhim down with? Exactly? But yeah,
I would I would think that kindof like Steph Curry, that they
both can have a game where theyboth pump in thirty in an important in
(01:04:27):
a game. But I wouldn't thinkthat you're going to wear them out minutes
wise. All right, we gotAnthony Edwards. I get it, he's
as gifted as theres as when itcomes to pure raw talent and fresh legs
and young and a high flyer.That that guy has got everything you want
in a great player. And thenJoel and beat Maybe see if if you're
(01:04:47):
asking me, could the could theoffense start through him? How could you
not say Ambat who's been an MVPin this league, and you can make
the argument that the offense runs throughhim in this Olympics, could you?
I am Plus, he's not atthe he's not at the you know,
the Anthony Davis injury thing. He'snot as old as Steph and Kevin Durant.
(01:05:11):
He's in that perfect age now dependingon how much he wants to,
you know, work he wants.But I could see the offense running through
him before Anthony Edwards. But Iunderstand Edward's argument with that, But I
can see Embiid. See I thinkEmbiid's gonna start, don't you? Yeah?
I would doubt he would have to. Yeah, so there you go.
Uh. And then Tyres Halliburton,No, he that's he's got some
(01:05:34):
bam out of buy you like keyminutes, new big contract, but not
the star of the Olympic team.Lebron's on there right, Drew Holliday,
great perimeter defender. You know what'scrazy about Drew Holiday? He could go
lockdown and hold the best score onanother country to like eight points, ten
points, and then turn around andhave that one game received. Did Drew?
(01:05:56):
Howid they just hang thirty on him? You remember the playoffs series?
Was it CJ? Not not cwhat's one of my guy's name? Call?
No? What's my guy's name?There's been in Portland and is no
longer in Portland? Lillard? Wasit Lillard that he was at mcconamer lit?
I think it was a Lillard ina playoff game where he shut him
down? Was it Lillard? Thiswas a handful of years ago when when
(01:06:18):
he was in New Orleans and thenhe went back to back thirty or forty
point games playing perimeterive. I meanhe outplayed for some reason. I think
we could look that up. Ithink it might have been CJ, but
I think it was Damian Lillard wherehe put the I'm talking about, he
clamped his ass down, which ishard to do, and then turn around
(01:06:38):
and hung head back to back gamesor two games in the series where we
had like thirty nine and forty oneor thirty eight, go back and look
at that Drew Holliday when it wasin New Orleans, when he was there,
And I think you're gonna find outthat in a playoff early round playoff
series, did he he had hadhis run? And I know we can't
get on the internet, so no, it's not going to run through Drew
(01:06:59):
Holliday. But he is a tremendousperimeter defender and has those big games in
him. All right, we gotthe last three here and that is of
course Brian lenn But I run,you're gonna limit his minutes too. He's
not gonna he's not gonna play.But if he want, if he decides
that he wants the offense to runthrough him, guess what it'll It'll go
(01:07:20):
through him. Yes, if hedecides that, Yes, and then nope,
he's Anthony and Anthony Davis maybe ina calf rap because they they need
load management. But if he plays, but another time, are you really
going to give him a ton ofminutes. No, I mean you're gonna
give enough minutes to get his inright. The deep team man. Lastly,
(01:07:43):
Jason Tatum, he might be thenumber one option. Now listen,
Anthony Edwards, Well, your day'scoming. You might those two guys.
Yeah, listen, So if you'reasking me, it would be Tatum,
Tatum, embiid Anthony Edwards. Thatthat that group right there. Now listen,
if you decided you were going torun the offense through Steph Curry or
(01:08:08):
Lebron James, would you have aproblem Anthony? Of course. I just
think you're gonna limit minutes on thoseveterans and save their legs. And the
most minutes you watch guy like Halliburton, guys like who was the last name
we just mentioned, No, thelast thing the tyres Uh, those are
(01:08:30):
the guys that are Those are theguys are going to log I think more
minutes. You can see Bam leadingin minutes. You could see a Booker
leading in minutes. Anthony Edwards isprobably going to beg for minutes, and
you're you're not gonna want to takehis young ass off the court because he's
so gifted. So I just lookat an offense running through, Well,
Lebron's on the court, you knowwho the offense is running through quick because
he's going to handle it at thetop. He's gonna handle it on the
(01:08:53):
wing. He's a high basketball likeyou. It's just you're just not going
to get thirty minutes out of him, right, So that that's it.
But I can see Jason Tatum beingthe man you roll this offense through as
well. And lastly, they've labeledfour coaches as their coaches. They got
Steve Kerr, Mark Few for Fewfrom Gonzaga, and Tyron lou lastly Eric
(01:09:15):
Spultra. Not about staff, it'sreally not the hell of a staff.
When did Steve Kerr become the Ishe the head coach? They got four?
Yes, Steve is the head andyeah the other three assistants. Okay,
well who does Steve love the most? That's Steph Kurry, but he's
(01:09:41):
probably gonna let Lebron make a lotof the decisions. Well, yeah,
Lebron's Ron. Lebron's probably coaching theI was gonna say he's coaching the Olympic
Games, probably the VP as well, Edwards Embiid Tatum. But I could
tell you what you know, Bronnyis gonna be on the right team.
I could throw my shirt, Icould throw my second five in there,
and they'll give the first finding thehell of a game, Brownie earned it.
(01:10:01):
Stop it. What if they allsaid said we were going add into
the Olympic two? Stop it?Yeah. So, uh there's a lot
of options, uh there and soif we don't dominate, yeah, we'll
have problems. Yeah. Yeah,that's what I'd be wondering. Who'd be
beating the USA. It's happened before, It has happened before, Yes,
(01:10:24):
it has. Yeah, Yeah,they got embarrassed. Let's see back in
twenty sixteen. It's all it's notgoing to be on twelve. I think
it's not gonna be Who has betterplayers is gonna be on? Is the
all the Americans? All in effortwise? They they got like bronze.
If they right, if they wantto stick them, if they want to
send a loud message, yeah,Olympics over. Yeah. But sometimes they
(01:10:47):
played when that when you're talking aboutwhen they played disinterested, they play with
a chip on their shoulder. Lookout. Yeah, if they're playing disinterested,
it could be one of the likeRound three where they're like, what
Lithuania beat you? You know,just you know, right, how do
they beat you guys? Yeah,that that type of thing. But if
they are decide they want to gowin a gold medal, Yeah, come
(01:11:10):
on, son, you let ateam like Croatia beat you, right right,
roster has no business losing your youryour backup five, you're your second
five should probably win a gold medal. Yeah, you should dominate, right,
absolutely, Yeah, there's no questionabout it. All right, let's
get to break and you know,right now, a lot of people without
power. One point eight million peoplestill without power after a hurricane barrel came

(01:12:59):
good horrible man man throwing a Cnote on him right after, Yeah after
the cane hits. Disrespectful man,disrespectful. Speaking of disrespectful, Paul George
wanted to stay with the Los AngelesClippers, but he felt disrespected in negotiations.
(01:13:20):
That's why he left. Well,it only offered him on a two
hundred million You know, I hadthe details. I had the details pulled
up, but uh, winter athletescan learn. Did please don't ever put
the word disrespect when it's coupled withone hundred and fifty to two hundred million
(01:13:42):
dollars? Would he get to twentysix or something? Yeah, something like
that, to twenty three or whateverit is? Yeah, and where'd he
go again? Where's poulyy walnuts?Where did he go? Remember? Triple
triple is getting us to the information? We discussed it last week. Yeah,
so Paul George, Oh, wewent to Philadelphia, Philly. Yeah,
that's exactly right, because we talkedabout they he and Maxie both that's
(01:14:06):
their big deals. Yeah, maxdeals. Yeah, that's right, was
it MAXI? Yes? Yeah,guys, all right, what you got?
He said? George called the Clippersfirst offer they came in October last
year. Sixty million dollars over twoyears was kind of disrespectful sixty million okay
for two years. That's what hetook. So that's thirty million a year
(01:14:26):
for two years. Yeah he took. Okay, But my point is,
and that was last year. Yeah, Well why is he bothered about it
this year? No clue, sohe can't let go. I mean that
was in October, you said,indeed, Okay, so nine months later,
yeah, and so is that aboutwhat it is July August, September,
(01:14:47):
Yeah, like yeah, so thatoffer? Well, what was their
latest offer? You have the latestoffer? Tripley? Did he say what
the Clippers gave him recently or we'regoing to pay him recently? I think
that was the one. Yeah,they would only trying to offer him sixty
million for two years. That wasthe only offer you received for two years?
Okay, Well two more years,fine, gotcha. I get it.
(01:15:08):
It's just hard for the normal fanto have you be at thirty five
or thirty whatever, mid thirties,and he's been a hell of a player.
I guess you could just phrase it, not that it matters what we
think is meteor fans, but whenyou throw thirty million a year at somebody
as and it's called disrespect it's hardfor the fan to say, oh yeah,
(01:15:32):
I got you yep, right,because you it's like it's like when
one guy you know, gets paidthe fifty million instead of forty million,
they said, well, I gotto feed my family. You know,
I understand you got to feed yourfamily, but you could a better phrase
and choice of words would probably bewise and learn from somebody else using that
same phrase that people said, justshut up. Okay. So well,
(01:15:56):
Paul George made a wise move,not to say he was disrespected at thirty
million a year, but to holdout and get two hundred and twenty plus
from the Philadelphia seventy six ers.And it's probably still going to walk away
without a ring. No no disrespect, But pun intended by the way is
that he held out and he gotpaid, and all of it's his.
So he made in about you knowwhat, one hundred and sixty million more
(01:16:19):
than they were going to pay him, at least by this talk. And
I assure, as he'll tell you, Philadelphia didn't disrespect him. And if
he felt disrespected, fine, heworked out in his favor. But I
just think you could use a betterchoice of wards when it comes to the
person who's going to the stand.I can't quite understand thirty million a year
being disrespectful in any way, shapeor form in basketball terms. For Paul
(01:16:40):
George, I guess yeah, Ican tell you this. He's not going
to earn two hundred and thirt twentymillion dollars. His performance over the next
four years or five years. Won'tsay two hundred and twenty million worth as
much to respect as I have forhis game. Hell of a player.
Paul George's best basketball behind him.Yes it is, Yes it is.
And he got paid and I andI'm not in his wallet. I don't
(01:17:01):
have a problem with it. Goodfor him. If you're gonna be pissed
at anybody, be pissed at theseventy six ers for paying it. But
if you think Phil, if youthink Paul George is the James Harden was
apparently the missing piece. Yeah,is he there anymore? No answers,
No, No, he's not rightthe answers he's not. Uh embiid still
there. And you've got you paid, Like I said, you gave up
(01:17:25):
a half a billion dollars for twoplayers. Yeah, let's hope it works
out, because if it doesn't,you'll Paul George. A lot of money,
Yeah, a lot of scratch,yes, a lot of green backs,
a lot of greenbacks. I wasgetting into the eight o'clock hour.

(01:20:47):
Salisbury, Houston, Okay, let'sdo this. Sean Salisbury, there to
usc true longtime friend shown Salisbury,Ryanlalima, Go Lobos. This is the
Sean Seals Very show. All right. Andrew Ball, the assistant general manager
(01:21:08):
for the Houston Astros, joined RobertFord on the Astros pregame show just a
couple of days ago. They couldn'tget Dana Brown. They had some connection
issues. So Andrew Ball was onthe road trip and got to sit down
with Robert Ford's not very often,like I said, as we get got
into the eight o'clock hour, thatyou get to hear from the assistant GM.
(01:21:29):
And he sat down with Robert Fordand this is how it sounded.
And welcome back to Astra launch.Robert Ford, please be joined by Andrew
Ball, Astro's assistant general manager beforethe Astros wrap up this series in Minnesota.
And you've been on this entire trip, Andrew six and three so far.
You're taking credit for allow this rightexactly exactly. It's it's nice because
they don't let you go on tripsif you don't have success in the last
(01:21:53):
one. Is that is that?Is that a serious that it's a very
superstitious game. So you'd like tobe around when things are going well,
yeah, for sure, and youhave to be, I imagine, pretty
pleased with how this team has played. I mean not just on this road
trip, but really over the lastcouple of weeks. I mean, obviously
got off to a slow start,but this was the sort of stretch yeah,
was really kind of needed to kindof get back in the things.
(01:22:15):
For sure. It's been really goodto see and I think honestly it's what
we were expecting coming into the season. So it's been nice to see it
play out like that. It tookus a little while to get going,
but yeah, we've been on agood round here and hopefully we can keep
it going. When you looked atthe way things were going over the first
couple of months of their season orso, what were some kind of slivers
of optimism, if you will,that things would turn around, where their
indicators, where their analytics that youguys were seeing that were making you think,
(01:22:39):
Okay, we could see things turningin this team. You know,
hopefully we'll start playing better baseball.For sure. I think both underlying metrics
were there that maybe we were gettinga little bit hate to use this term,
but unlucky. And I think alsojust from a scouting perspective, the
guys were still performing, the talentwas still there, and I think,
really, you know, what wewere seeing is we just couldn't seem to
time it up all at once.When the pitching was good, the hitting
(01:23:00):
wasn't and vice versa. And Ithink now we've been on the stretch here
for a little while where we've gottenkind of everything rolling at once, and
that's when you start to really playlike this and get get hot. Astro's
a couple of scares this series ofhit batters. Friday al Twove got hit
by a pitch, didn't play yesterdayalthough he was available almost pitch hit in
yesterday's ball game. And Jordon Alvarezyesterday getting hit the back of the right
(01:23:24):
knee with a pitch. And Iknow Alvarez said after the game that he
had gotten hit in that same spotnot too long ago. Obviously, I'll
two eight back in the lineup today. That's good news. What do you
know about those two guys? Yeah, for sure. You hold your breath
every time somebody gets hit. Jordanhad a couple of those in the Toronto
series as well, and so hehas had a couple kind of in that
same spot. He is sore today, not in the lineup, but I
(01:23:46):
think hopefully we dodge bullets with bothof them. I think Jordan will hopefully
see back in the lineup early backin Houston this coming week, and L
two VA's back in there today,and good news on the on the pitching
front with Jake. Bloss made arehab start yesterday at sugar Land, his
Triple A debut, as it turnsout, and four innings, gave up
(01:24:08):
just one hit and allow a run, fifty five pitches, and I understand
he threw another ten pitches in thebullpen of over the report you got on
Bloss, Yeah, Jake looked reallygood. It was really comfortable. The
veila was there up to ninety fourto ninety five, just like he's normally
been. So everything you'd want tosee. I mean, it's nice to
see the no runs and the success, but really in an outing like that,
we just want to see him feelinggood and see the health there for
(01:24:30):
him to be able to come backand help us pretty soon. You talk
about dodging bullets, kind of dodgea bullet with Bloss too. To a
certain extent because I mean, yousee a guy come out of his big
league debut with the trainer in thefourth inning, you know, shoulder issue,
and the fact that he was ableto make a rehab start here but
a week and a half later.I mean that's extremely encouraging. Yeah,
no doubt. Again, you getscared when that kind of comes out.
(01:24:51):
You have a guy in his bigleague debut, The emotions are up,
the adrenaline's going. You know,maybe he stresses himself a little bit more
than he has in the past,and I think that that's really what happened.
You know, next day, evenafter that, we kind of felt
like he was doing well. Ithink we just wanted to be really precautionary,
give him a little bit of ablow, but hopefully he's going to
be fine. Do you guys haveany idea yet where you're going to slot
(01:25:12):
him back in the rotation on thisupcoming home stamp. No, we're still
talking about it. I think becausewe have the off day coming up tomorrow,
like we have a lot of timesthis year, we can kind of
juggle around the rotation a little bit. We're also trying to, you know,
get some extra time for Hunter andRonell and some of these guys that
are getting up there a little bitin innings counts because they throw on the
ball well and we've relied on thema lot. So figuring out where Jake
will slot in, whether that's youknow this upcoming home standard either. Right
(01:25:34):
after the All Star break and joinedby Andrew Paull, Astro's assistant general manager,
before the Astros wrap up this serieswith the Twins, and we talked
about Jake Bloss minor league rehab start. Luis Garcia a minor league reehab start
on Thursday, coming back from TommyJohn surgery. He pitched her Corpus Christy
at San Antonio. The line wasn'tvery pretty, giving up four runs in
(01:25:57):
an inning and air through thirty onepitches in his second can rehab start.
Where were you hearing about Garcia?Yeah? Again, just like I said
with Jaco a minute ago, Ithink in these kinds of outings, we're
not too concerned with the stat line. You like to see some success,
but really with Leuis, the bestthing was that the villa was where we
want to see it at this point. He felt good coming out of that
and he's going to be able tomake his next turn and kind of keep
(01:26:18):
building to get back up here inHouston and help us kind of like a
spring trending progression for Garcia at thispoint right exactly. And so we're going
to see those those lower pitch countsfor a little while. He's going to
bounce around levels just to figure outwhere the right place is for him,
even from an intensity level. Andyou know, he's probably gonna potentially we
have the All Star break to dealwith, so we might see him back
(01:26:39):
in Florida. You know, ifyou see him pitching at different levels,
it doesn't mean anything really wonky abouthis success or not. Just trying to
figure out, you know, what'sthe right timing and the right environment for
him to get his work in.And you know, you touched on this
a little earlier about you know,you think about guys like Renel Blanco,
Hunter Brown trying to give those guyssome blows, even Spencer Raghetti as well,
(01:26:59):
you know, in the big leaguesfor the first time, trying to
give these guys some some breathers.What are some things you guys have talked
about and imagine six man rotation hasbeen in there, maybe skipping guys things
like that for sure. I thinkin twenty two one of the reasons we
were so successful is we were ableto navigate a six man rotation a lot
of the year and enable it enabledus to keep healthy, keep successful.
(01:27:19):
And so I think it's something inspurts both last year and this year where
we like to do it when wecan. Between between injuries and some other
factors, we haven't been able togo to it quite as much this year,
but yeah, skipping some guys gettinginto a six man rotation when we
can, just utilizing the off daysas much as we can, and even
slotting in some of these bullpen daysif we have the ability to do it,
(01:27:40):
just help us keep everybody fresh downthe stretch thron Anything new on Justin
Verland or I know he's been he'sbeen playing catch. He's been stretching it
out a little bit. Yeah,Justin's playing catch. I mean it's it's
not much of an update right now. We're hoping to get him back some
time after the All Star break andsee where he can slot in. He's
a really important member of the rotationand it brings, you know, now
the only ability, but also thatveteran presence and veteran leadership Victor Caratini has
(01:28:04):
joined the club here in Minnesota.He wasn't on the first two legs of
the road trip coming back from thehip flexor injury. He's already running.
He's been hitting in the cage.I mean, I know when he first
went down, Dana said maybe aboutthree to four weeks. I mean,
it seems like he's progressing extremely,maybe ahead of schedule. I don't know
if that's the right way to putit. At least he's on schedule.
(01:28:24):
I think he looks really good.He feels really good and everything he's doing.
He took VP on the field yesterday. He's doing catching drills with Michael
Collins, our catching coach in theoutfield. I mean, I think running
is going to be the biggest thingfor him, just with the strain that
he has right now. Is justfeeling like he can go through a whole
game with backing up bases, runningthe bases, those types of things.
It's going to be the big hurdlefor him. And we saw Caleb ort
(01:28:45):
make his astro's debut yesterday. Pastthree years saw time in the big leagues
with the Red Sox look pretty impressive. Upper nineties one two, three inning.
A guy claimed off of waivers fromBaltimore back in late May, and
he had been pitching triple A norfor for Baltimore numbers we're not very good.
He's been lights out with sugar Land. What's changed since you guys got
him. I think the underlying stuffis what drew us to him, and
(01:29:09):
then we liked like you saw it. It's a power to pitch. Mix
fastball slider are both effective pitches,and you know, we saw some of
those characteristics and sometimes you just needa guy to get a little bit of
a change of scenery and other opportunity. In Sugarland, he was really good
for us. The numbers were there, and so you know, we had,
Louise said, a tough outing theother night. We had to go
down and get a fresh arm,and Caleb kind of earned the earn the
(01:29:29):
opportunity to come up here and seewhat he can do and see if he
can help us. What are someof the things you guys are looking at
when you're looking at waiver claims,particularly pitchers or guys you could potentially claim
off of waivers in terms of whoyou want to bring into the organization.
Yeah, it's it's a lot ofthings. It's underlying pitch characteristics, it's
track record of success. It's certainlythings like make up and fit in the
clubhouse and how they're gonna be andand then sometimes it's also even the you
(01:29:53):
know, when we're talking about relieversor other things, it's the complexion of
maybe even the big league staff thatwe have up here. We want to
get guys that have a different looks. So if we say, even with
our our bullpen right now, likeSeth Martinez and Taylor Scott both really effective,
but they kind of give you asimilar look. So we're trying to
bring in guys that maybe do somethingdifferent and can give Joe and Josh some
options against different pockets and hitters.All right, Andrew Ball, Astro's assistant
(01:30:15):
general manager, thank you so muchfor joining us. Yeah, thanks for
having me. All right. Thatwas assistant manager general manager Andrew Ball joining
Robert Ford of the Astros broadcast team. You can hear every Astros game right
here on seven nine, your homefor Astros Baseball. One thing that we're
going to discuss is Andrew talked aboutthat six man rotation, the potential for
a six man or How are yougoing to get that done when you're still
(01:30:40):
trying to figure out who your fifthis? Yeah, well, I think
that when you do that, you'rehoping for that you're getting people a plethora
of pitchers healthy at the time,and so you've you've got to slide him
in any way you can. Yeah. So for legit starters and trying to
figure out what out the health whothe fifth and sixth are gonna be,
(01:31:01):
it may be more than just twoguys as well. Yeah, so I
think you gotta I mean, yougotta evoke. You like that, don't
you say? I do? Yeah, you have to. You have to
do whatever it takes. Listen,you're gonna have to mix and match and
piece things together the second half ofthe season, just like they've done in
June and July and find the theyou know, the pieces at work and
(01:31:21):
six man rotation to get rest.But the question, you gotta get them
healthy enough to have six guys todo it, right, that's my point.
Who is going to be part ofthat six man rotation. We'll discuss
that next right here on Sports Talkseven ninety. But first let me tell
you about my good friends over atof Voke roofing and general contracting. As

Buckle up. The Shawn Sounds Preyshow continues. It's gonna be a
hell if Andrew Ball wasn't the assistantgeneral manager. What do you think he
(01:33:39):
would do, just based off ofhis voice. Yeah, be an accountant,
you think. No, a moneyguy running like a running like a
financial firm, a like venture capitalist. Yeah, ball Ball and Doe Dough
company or yeah, okay, thereyou go. So that almost sounds like
(01:34:00):
a construction company though too, thatdoes. Or maybe maybe he's you know,
like I could see him running ayou know, he's the guy he's
like a president of you know,like the financial the president of a big
like I said, some kind ofmoney firm. I would imagine. I
don't know what his backgrounding, butI'm gonna guess I know a little bit
of it. I'm gonna guess he'sgot some analytics in his background. Yeah.
(01:34:26):
Oh that's Andrew Ball. He worksfor the Ball Smith and Jones Company.
No, he's president, yeah,president, yeah, president. Yeah,
that's your venture capitalist group exactly.They handle like like two billion dollar
portfolio, right. Yeah, Yeah, that's that's Andrew Paul Man BSJ wealth
advisor. Probably No, he justI think he probably Hey, I would
(01:34:49):
imagine he knows baseball listening to himand has some a good financial understand financial
understanding about the analytics and and financesof baseball. Yeah, and how the
numbers work. Let's put it thatway. Whatever numbers are involved, I
imagine he has a pretty good ideaof it. It's find an interesting,
man that they talked about a sixman rotation when you barely know who your
(01:35:11):
fifth guy is. Yeah, andI think they're probably trying to preserve it
so it doesn't become a three manrotation, if you know what I mean.
With the injuries that have befell themthis year. Good word, wow,
But I don't think there. ButI also don't think they're beholden to
six man rotations. Another one andkiller bees there is yeah, bitches,
Yeah, yeah, I have aquestion for you. Here's an interesting question.
(01:35:33):
It's really not that interesting, Okay, but it may be. I
was thinking about this last couple ofdays and it hit me right, Uh
was so that I didn't have anyinternet and all this stuff. I'm thinking
some of the things that that I'dlike to discuss at some point this summer.
Well, I was sweating my bizlsare huh you know biz alls are
yeah, yeah you do. Yeah, why you side me on the beach
(01:35:56):
because earlier you were talking about hangingme. I thought about who are the
five most important people in sports rightnow in this city, moving forward,
not in the past, moving forward, the five most important sports personalities,
meaning is it a coach? Isit an owner? Is it is it?
Is it a front office guy?Is it a the is it Yainer
(01:36:18):
Diaz? Is it Jalen Green?I wonder who the five most important sports
figures are in this town. AndI'm not broadcasters don't count. I'm talking
about actually play, coach it,general, manage it, own it,
moving forward from today as we look, as we look at the future and
the present in the future, notworried about the past that you know,
(01:36:40):
Bigio and and the bag Wells,unless they're part of the future. As
far as front office in the backof the baseball okay, right, I'm
just curious who we would in ordergo one, two, three, four,
five of importance to just the sportslayout of Houston and maybe all of
their sports, Like where does DanaBrown fit in? Is he a top
(01:37:01):
five? Is Al Tuvey still inthe top five? Is Jordon going forward?
Is I think there's a couple ofnames that are obvious, but would
it be We've talked about like ifyou had to get rid of these guys
and I know there's there's maybe twentyof them that are more important. But
I'm talking about moving forward towards thechampionships, the attention to this city,
(01:37:25):
what they're going to mean to afranchise, what they're going to mean to
the future of the franchise, andbringing other people here. It could be
Tillman for Tita and bringing a hockeyteam here. Whatever. I'm just and
I don't know, and it's ithit me A said, I really don't
know. Is is CJ. Stroudjust because he plays quarterback the most important
sports person moving forward in this town? I think it's him? And you
(01:37:47):
still so he goes back to,well, two guys who are the best
players? You think the best playersare the most important sports people in the
town? Yeah, I think CJ. Shroud edges jord On just because he's
the quarterback, right. But yetif is are the are the uh?
His ownership is for Tita more importantright now to the city of sports than
(01:38:10):
than the than the McNair's are doesit come down to mister Is mister Crane
still the most important owner? Imean when I say important, like the
not beloved, I'm talking about tothe growth and or the success moving forward
now and moving forward? I wouldthink the quarterback's got to be near the
top of the list just because ofwhat that position requires, right, yea,
(01:38:33):
Yet is it you know, afront office analytics guy. Is it
the McNair's commitment to change? Isit? Is it? Is it the
the you know, the husband orthe wife and the McNair fam. What
is it moving forward? Is isit? Is it? Uh? I
mean, you know, I'm justthrowing Jackie hin. It's not him,
(01:38:55):
you get my point? Is ita young pitcher? I mean? Where
what's the future here? Where's theimportance of the five most important sports players,
general, managers, owners or peopleinvolved in moving sports forward? And
I don't not a broadcaster or somebodywho's bringing the Super Bowl back here.
I'm not talking about a committee.I'm not a literally player, coach or
manage or own it. I wonderwhat the order would be for most people.
(01:39:17):
Yeah, strouds Do you think itstarts with Stroud because he plays quarterback?
Yeah? I think he's got tobe at the time. Would anybody
in the basketball presence be Kelvin Sampsonso so Willie Fritz so locally? Like,
well, obviously we're never we're talkinglocally, so I think, and
it can be pro or college andthe college realm. And are we sticking
(01:39:38):
to Houston? We're not going toAustin or just right here in Houston.
Kelvin Sampson is up there and WillieFritz to turn around U of H and
get them back to their winning waysnow that they're in the Big twelve,
Like he's got to be up thereas well. Okay, well, how
do we rule out a an athleticdirector at UH? How are they going
to die? Could it if you'vegot to move in shake or does it
just completely change the course of auniversity. That's that's why I'm I don't
(01:40:02):
And you know, Furtita's got hishands in UH as well. So as
far as sports just sports figures atall, Yeah, that aren't really they
aren't broadcasts. I don't want thatcommittees. You know, hey, we
brought another Super Bowl here, greator a Final four, that's obvious.
I just talk about over the courseof time looking forward, how I see.
(01:40:23):
I think Kelvin Sampson's massively important.Yeah, definitely, because it has
to be. Okay, who's closerto a championship, the Texans or the
Houston Cougar's basketball team right now.Yeah, let's talk about a next coming
up on time. I think it'sa really good topic. Five most important
sports figures in the city of Houston. Let's talk about it next. Let's

Com Advisory Services off it through TrasiWealth LLC and SEC Registered Investment Advisor paid
advertisement and we're valor for the SeanSalisbury Show continued, know how to deal
(01:42:51):
with this stuff, but you're sureas hell don't wish it on anybody.
And keep an eye on your neighborand your friend. Never know when they
may need help. Don't take thatfor granted. I asked the question.
It's been on my mind for quitesome time, and I thought, you
know, in the summertime, aswe head into an Astros run, Rockets
getting a lot better. Boy,do I like Udoka? I do?
(01:43:14):
And what they're building got so manymean hell they will got damn near.
They ended up with a five hundredbasketball team this year, and they were
in the mid twenties with Winds theyear before, fifteen sixteen whatever it was.
Wins better. That's impressive. That'squantum leaps. And then you think
about what Kelvin Sampson's meant to andwhat a national championship would mean to the
city moving forward, you think aboutStroud and Jordonnor Kyle Tucker were still heading
(01:43:39):
towards three thousand with the guy likeAltuve. So it's not who the best
is the most important and not broadcasters, not bringing a super bowler of Final
four back to Houston, and notUniversity of Texas and not A and M.
Just Houston proper. And it doesn'thave to be pros. It can
be collegiate whatever. It is.The five most important and it's hard to
(01:44:00):
name him if you want to goin order, fine, but the five
most important people to now and movingforward that are going to the difference makers
that we need to you need morethan five, I get it. But
just and it doesn't mean who thebest is in their job. It could
be, Hell, you could bethe third best pitcher, but we think
five years from now you're going tobe the best. You know that's the
(01:44:21):
guy, or you think the JinerDias is the next Johnny Bench and you're
moving him forward. It could beyou know, a recruits that's now a
freshman at University of Houston, couldbe Willie Fritz. But whether it's an
owner, a player, a coach, a front office guy, whatever,
it is the five most important peopleto the city of not not just in
(01:44:44):
the city of bringing pub. I'mtalking about to the sports, to winning,
to pub, to what it's goingto mean to that team that's sport
all of us and to them.Who are the five most important to now
and pushing forward the city of swartshere and the teams and everything moving forward.
The five most important Let me giveyou five names. It just came
(01:45:05):
to mind off the top of myhead, in no particular order. I
still think, and I'm not puttinghim first, is Jim Crane's all the
owners are but Crane. Here's why. His commitment to how much he's going
to decide, the kind of moneyyou pay to keep guys here and bring
here, and to continue to doit. Can you continue to let stars
(01:45:27):
go and still win and keep thewind open because we know he knows baseball
knows he loves to win. Istill think he's a massive presence. All
the Fertida is going to be aswell, and the McNair fame. I
get it. They've got it herenow. See. I think in football,
the coach and the player once theowner turns it over to the front
off and you could say Cassario withthe way he does it, but I
think Demko's going to help with that. So I think Crane's still that important
(01:45:49):
to the now and moving forward.Two Stroud and this isn't or Stroud would
be at the top of the list. Roe Stroud, jord On. I
I think I almost think we stillunderestimate the what would bring more, Oh
my gosh, the city. KelvinSampson's team winning a national title or em
Udoka's team winning an NBA championship.I think that's a good wood rite and
(01:46:13):
both are impactful as hell. Ithink Kelvin can be considered there because of
what he's done. And I stillwere craving that, right, They've been
so close, right, Domico's inthe top five for me, And then
I said, Crane, you canmove around to me. The no brainers.
The no brainers are Demiko, Ryan'sc J Stroud, Jordan Alvarez.
Yes, and I think you cansay Kelvin for me, you could say
(01:46:36):
Udoka because this basketball team hasn't hadthe dominant it's been in a while.
It's been a while, Jim Crane, because you want to keep what's already
there. What's more important Jim Craneto the baseball team and signing players,
or c. J. Stroud tothe football team. Stroud right, and
what's more important? What's more importantthe the the McNair family right now of
(01:46:57):
football or if you already got thethree in place, you're already committed to
Jamiico, Ryans, Nick Cassio andnow CJ. Strout. Do you have
what's in place now that they cancarry you that you just got to sit
back and let it ride because you'regoing to make less decisions with a salary
cap on money with football, lessimpactful because you have a salary cap,
so you turn it over to yourgeneral manager. You get the players with
baseball with no salary cap. Youknow, with the threshold of the tax
(01:47:21):
and the rest of it, theLexar Tacks threshold, where's your commitment.
It's almost out of your personal wallto it's my commitment. So I'm going
to keep the Kyle Tuckers. Andwhen can you keep losing them? Right?
So I think it's in Listen.I could come up with fifteen names,
ash, I just throwing names outthere off the top of my head.
And I do think the University ofHouston winning a title in some sport
is going to be massively important.And Kelvin Samson's as close as any franchise
(01:47:46):
here is to win in one notname the Astros, right, So there's
there's some names that I threw outthere. Yeah, let's let's continue this
discussion. Wilson gets to get outto the phone line seven one three,
seven ninety. We'll take your calls. Who is there? Who are the
top five most important sports uh figureheadsright now in the city of Houston.
That's next on Sports Talk seven eighty. This Sean Salisbury show continues to continue.
(01:48:14):
You're gonna go play golf today ifI listen, What are you guys
worried about? The heat? Isthat? Why? There's that as well?
Yeah? Well, what were youworried about? Is the golf course
even open? Mine is that it'sclose because one of the trees got uprooted
and landed right in the middle ofthe fairway, so it's close to it.
Normally it's closed on Monday. Thetruth is, while people are going
through this, I won't play golftoday because you know what, I'd actually
(01:48:36):
carry around the guilt of people arestruggling and you're out there and Honestly,
I know that sounds you can't likesave help every you try to, but
I really would stand. The firsttime I hit a bad shot, I'm
like, Karmen, dude, whatdo you can't be out here? But
what do you doople need trees removedfrom there? Yeah? So I will,
but at some point this week Iwill. But I know this to
(01:48:58):

it ever take time off? No? And if you lose it? Yeah?
Yes? Well second right, letme ask you, this is Scheffler
taken today unless you've got arrested again? Whoa? Whoa? Even take it

a brazier burger. Yeah. Peoplelike, what's a brazier burger? That's
what they call the DQ burgers?Right? Will you ever get a brazier
burger? No, you won't.I mean, yeah, probably there's better
burgers, I'm sure for sure,But for some reason, the brazier burger
just sounds like it. And thenmaybe you dip the burger in the chocolate
(01:50:26):
into the cookie. No, maybea fry in the right not the burger.
Maybe maybe maybe no, just onelittle dip, no's, but there

California dude? Are you kidding me? I know all about tasty freezing.
Tasty freezer is like the here wego. It's like the like the the
shoulder to shoulder of dairy Queen.Tasty freeze got similar ice cream? You
get a tasty freeze Burger. Yes, I grew up on tasty freeze out
in California and Arizona. Why you'retripping over there, bright, I'm just
(01:51:33):
somehow you two guys like always waterBurger's got the best dessert too, right,
No, water Bird, not evenclose do they even have a dessert
there? Yeah, I got acouple of cookies. I got cookies,
yeah, right along with voke thesenuts. Let's let's talk to Jim.
(01:51:53):
He wants to talk about this topfive in Houston. Then we gotta get
to Doug Sam, and then Igot another caller coming in. Let's start
with Jim. Jim, thanks forholding good morning. Hey, hey guys.
Yeah. When I was I wasdriving and you guys brought up the
topic. These were I had sixnames, immediately pop it ahead and I
eliminated one, so I slided fiveand I just left it alone. I
(01:52:15):
could be talked out of some ofthese, but this was literally just as
John said off the top of myhead. Obviously, Number one, QB
one C J. Stroud. Heis the most important sports figure in the
city. Case is you know,in one year he transformed our the organization
from being mired in meocrity to ateam that can take it to the next
level. And we can't. Wedon't. We could talk about a super
(01:52:38):
Bowl with this team and not laughman. Number two, Yeah, number
two is one that probably I wouldn'tlast out of my brainstorm list, but
I went and put them in there, I said Jalen Green because from the
NBA, from the Rockets perspective,we are loaded with talent and it's not
like we have to rebuild quote afarm system with the NBA. He if
(01:52:59):
he can take it to the nextlevel and become our equivalent of like you
know, Kobe like kind of player, he can help take the Rockets to
the next level. So again brainstorming, he was number two. Hey,
Jim, real quick, real quick, I'll let you finish. Moll think
about this. At the trade deadlinelast year, people were one to move
Jayalen Green and you got him inyour top five. Isn't that? It's
amazing the transformation, right, howpeople feel he's a great talent and he
(01:53:23):
elevated his game. It's amazing howit shifted, right Amen. Yeah,
And like I said, if hecould keep taking it to the next level,
it feels like that that takes ourteam to the next level. Ye
three and four, I put jordOn in tuck. Those are two guys
that can anchor the offensive lineup becausethey're young, they're both top five MVP
Hittie candidates. If they stay onthe astros, that keeps our window open.
(01:53:45):
And then number five Brown, becausethat's biggest job from a GM perspective
in this in this city, tokeep our get our farm system back to
a level to where we can stillkeep this window open. So he was
my number five and that was justkind of like a brainstorm. I went
in and ran with it, andI said, I'm gonna freeze it and
try to overthink it. Jim,think about this. And the reason why
I put Crane above those two Tuckerand Dana Brown, Yeah, is because
(01:54:10):
without a salary cap, Dana Brown'shands are going to be tied unless if
Jim Crane says, listen, KyleTucker while important, but Kyle Tucker is
only going to go as far asthey pay him, right, He's gonna
get paid. Well, he's important. So in order to keep Kyle Tucker,
who's the number one decision maker onthat, yeah, it'd be,
it'd be. It would be correct. I'm saying, Yeah, you could
(01:54:30):
tak me. See, you couldtaught me out, ye see the last
two for me of the same wayyou could talk me into some other guys
as well. I'm with you onehundred percent. I see where you're going.
But then I'm looking up the ladderand saying, well, Tucker who
soon wants to be here if hegets paid. And while Dana Brown I
loves Tucker, guess what Dana Browncould love Tucker all he wants. But
if Jim Crane says, I'm notpaying him three hundred plus, man,
guess what happens those two those?There you go? But you're you're,
(01:54:54):
you are right. We could pickfifteen guys, but I like your five
man, You're you're head in theright direction because and the sneaky ones Jalen
Green and what kind of talent hecan bring to this if he elevates to
that leadership role where you're grabbing peoplearound the throat like Kobe did when you
mentioned his name. Great point,Jim, thanks for the call, man,
great stuff. I think there's alot of a lot of a lot
of guys. Give we got timeto get to a couple more, right,
(01:55:16):
Let's let them quickly. Yeah,we'll get to Aggie, Doug,
Aggie, Doug, what's going on? Hey? What's up? Fella's?
Uh? I love this topic too, but I kind of look at it
from like the next five years perspective, like what will be the top five
and who you need to excel withinthe next five years, and so I
would like I would basically just putthe coaches and splash general managers, so
(01:55:39):
you can do Casario, Tomiko,you do a Spot, a Brown,
and then a Doka uh and Stone. So I kind of like put those
guys as kind of a collective topthree uh. And then I didn't start
kind of looking at either either JalenGreen or Alfrem Sangune or Tucker or Jordan.
But I look at it probably moreof a Jordon and CJ. Stroud
(01:56:02):
type of situation because of the factthat if CJ. Stroud doesn't excel in
the next five years this, youknow, the Texans will be crap.
And also if Jordon doesn't stay healthyfor the next five years, I mean,
think about it. We've actually sustainedexcellent for the last month and a
half without Tucker, so it's possible. And also we've done the same with
(01:56:25):
that on Tuday. We've never doneWe've never sustained a long term success without
Jordon. So I think that thatthat's kind of the top five that I
look at great point and and we'lltalk more about this, Brian, and
I want to get to who youthink too. Here's here's two for sure,
appreciate you, Doug. Here's twoand we'll continue this conversation nine o'clock
(01:56:45):
hour. Here here's two that areno brainers for Stroud and Jordon have to
be on there. Yeah, noquestion there. I'm they are there,
They're you cannot I cannot be talkedout of them. The third one,
I'm not sure I can be talkedout of because I'm thinking I'm not putting
them in the category yet. ButI know how you got to build.
When it comes to football, thecoach and the quarterback working together matter so
much. You can argue who's moreimportant with a Brady Belichick thing, and
(01:57:09):
people say, well, see Bradywas more important. Well, Belichick seeing
the evaluation of talent to get Bradyon the field after bledsoel was hurting to
keep him there, and see thatis genius. Right. And in a
young startup version of it, yougot to have startup companies all over the
place, right, Yeah, venturecapitalists invest in money in them. We
(01:57:31):
may have the start of that withDemiko, Ryans and Stratt, and I
think both early in the early infancylean on each other one to see to
turn him loose the other to say, Okay, we're going to build around
you. I'm not sure I cankeep Demiko Ryans out of that for the
five years Doug's talking about. I'msure he would be my third lock if
I was going to one. Honestly, the first two there is a no
(01:57:53):
brainer. The importance of them inthis city and what they bring to it
and their presence. Both of themcan be the MVP of the league in
CJ. Stroud and you ord Onout for us. Yeah, let's keep
this conversation rolling seven one three,two one two five seven ninety W Also

most influential guys right now, andI just in my head, I'm going
team to team. I got yourdon al Chuve cj uh Damiko Ryans And
(02:03:14):
then I think Emadoku for the rockets, because you know, I just think
he's the most influential on what he'sdone with the rockets so far, and
I want to see what you guysthink about that. Yeah, Terrence,
great stuff. Man. If Iwas gonna go with a with a rocket
right now. While I think JalenGreen's got a chance to be a star,
I think Udoka's got a chance toif you're considering what he did to
(02:03:36):
stay, to stay the course throughall the tough times this year, and
dealing with young players and getting themto learn and commit to the defensive end.
I think he is a monster andmassively important to the future of the
Rockets I do. And shaping guyslike Jalen Green and getting them to commit
to being not just good but greatevery day. I don't have an argument
(02:03:59):
with that. Think of Doka.You can talk me into a Dooka in
the top five or six, nodoubt. Absolutely. Did you say chafing
or shaping chafing chafe dye at Terrencesaid, good, good on you helping
people out, man, I lovethat. Good to hear. Let's let's
(02:04:20):
talk to Roger. Roger, Roger, I was mad a moist during swamp
season too. Yeah. No,no, no moist talk on this show.
Okay, okay, oh my god. Anyway, so you guys talking
(02:04:45):
about moist influential sports figures moving forwardfrom today right now, who's done something

the future of success and moving forwardand everything that the most important player to
(02:05:58):
the Astros organization and moving forward ishow over your right now? Right now?

Okay, So anyway, yeah,man, and uh and this uh the
electrical thing, Man, I don'tknow. I don't want to be get
off by long guy or conspiracy.I never wanted to be that but man,
I just feel like this wasn't reallya big, big disaster to you
know, all the lights and everythingwent on after the wind and after the
rain passed, and then an hourlater then the power goes out. I'm
(02:06:44):
not I'm not sure what that's about. I just don't think two million people
should do without power over some winding. Yeah, some wind and from rain.
It was. It was definitely astorm, But man, I just
feel like we've been through it beforeand nothing like this kind of happened.
But anyway, that's just my takeon it. Fellas YouTube Roger, thank

because you know, uh, Ithink Rogers said mattress Smack right, he
did. Yeah, And so whenyou think about mattress Smack though, it's
not you know, it's all therescue and gallery furniture and his sponsorships and
all that, but it's also hisinvolvement with the universities nil that collective,
which is one of the big reasonswhy the University of Houston's moving forward with
(02:11:54):
THEIRS is the commitment to that.And we know Mattressmack's commitment that for you
know, players in schools in thistown. Yeah. Yeah, interesting for
him, it really is. It'stalked thet influential for sure to move this
forward, no doubt. Yeah,let's talk to Holly Holly, good morning,
Good morning, guys. I agreewith most of everybody you guys have
(02:12:15):
said. Of course, I thinkthe McNair's go on the top of the
list because they're kind of kind offunny for USh in news, especially her.
I kind of like her, andthen CJ and Crane and Jordan.
But I think one person we're forgetting. She's going to put the Uston on
the map in a couple of weeksand that's missed Simon Bile. She's from
Spring and she's one of the greatest, not only in the past, but
I think moving forward. Of courseit will probably be her last hurra here
(02:12:37):
at the Olympics, but I thinkyou got to inque her in the conversation.
Yeah, and Holly, you makea great point about what she's meant
to this city and to gymnastics.One of the greats, you can argue,
as good as we've ever had.But that's why I'll ask, five
years from now, will that impactbe as big as a C J.
Stout? Well? Why, whynow, moving forward would you still include
(02:13:01):
her? Well, that's wrong.I'm just curious of of do you do
you the last raw at the Olympics, but just moving gymnastics and young women
in the example for it, orwhat's your main reasoning for future why you
would continue to include her. Well, there's a couple of things. First
of all, she pulled herself outof the last Olympics because she recognized her
mental health problems. Right. Ithink that brought a lot of attention to
(02:13:26):
that area. And I know alot of little girls, especially my four
nieces included, they're in gymnastics justbecause of Miss the Moon. It's a
hell of a point. It's ahell of a point. And so I
think she's bringing in a lot ofyoung girls. Who thinks, you know,
she flies twelve feet in the air? Man, can I do that
one day? And so just justwanted to sprinkle her name in the in
(02:13:48):
the conversation. I appreciate you,appreciate you guys, and I hope you
get some power back today. Thankyou all much. Holly. That is
a great point and one thing weall talk about on the field and all
that stuff, but the influence she'llhave on mental health and has had.
But also on the one thing aboutit is fifteen years from now you're still
going to be talking about. That'swhy the influence in the future about some
(02:14:09):
four year old that was influenced byyeah small no, no, no doubt
about it. That's a and andI think we lose sight of the fact
that in the individual part of it, right, because it's not a it
is team sport on the Olympics,and it's built team. But we look
at Simone Biles as her own entitybecause as good as we've ever had,
she's going to be one of themost decorated and has a chance to be
the most decorated of all time.Well gymnast. I think she is.
(02:14:33):
She already, of course, Katiedecla DECKI is. I think has a
chance to be the most decorated femaleof all time after these Olympics. But
Michael Phelps is the male, rightyeah, I think so, yeah,
I think it's Phelps. I don'thave it either, so I but she
makes a great point thinking outside thebox. It's not really outside the box
thinking actually, if you're going withthe individual stuff, Simone biles impact has
(02:14:56):
been and not just has been we'relooking for, has been impactful, but
forward moving. She is a lotof young girls are going to be involved
in gymnat and think about what gymnastshave had to overcome with the controversy that
they are still fighting through in themental health part of that. Not saying
Simone Biles part of that, youknow, with the universities and all the
(02:15:18):
sick controversy that's gone on with someof the coaches in the past. Right,
not in her life, but inthat you know the guy's name I'm
talking about, right, man,you know who I'm talking about affiliated with
the Women's Olympics. I mean women'sgymnastics. There you go. And but
she in indirect ways they have tooverkind of some in some cases some have
(02:15:39):
had to overcome it in direct ways. But for her to be that influential
and knowing that there's been a partof this that has been negatively looked at,
not her, but with women's gymnastics, right, Yeah, that's that
is a great, great point byHolly when talking about even still moving forward
and she is this will be herlast Olympics. Yeah, and let's hope
(02:16:01):
it goes well for but her impactwill be felt long and hard moving forward
when it comes to, you know, make an impact on the mental health,
which is hard on a lot ofpeople. Yeah, no question about
it. Let's get the break andwe'll continue the discuss. Let's get back

(02:21:52):
you. I came at it likeyou would like your mom, and right
did not Race. So you knowwho's not getting invited to the dinner table.
You. I'm going to Triple's houseand all of a sudden to the
cookout and you're not going? WhatThanksgiving? You're not going? Because I
said TRIPLEY might sometimes open up thephone phone call with like what up,
bitch, Yeah, that's mom mymom's listeners when he said that's my that's
(02:22:16):
this morning, to say that's myson, says, says, says,
my son doesn't talk to women likethat. If you talk to women like
that, so exactly, Yeah,I was raised by my mama and my
grandmother. Oh gos so your grandmaprobably whooped your ass for your mom.
Huh of course. Yeah. Seethe same like when we would go to
uh Maine for our lake house andmade my grandma would whoop our They would,
(02:22:41):
our grandmother would whoop our ass beforeour parents would. When your parents
wouldn't say a word about it,Oh they wouldn't, No man, anyways,
that's how that's how Triple definitely doesnot talk. Thrown out no wonder
you wanted to be TRIPLEY and thenI swiched I come out at nice and
you said, well let me youthen nasty man. God can't even call
(02:23:03):
up and be nice? You know, but zoid band with it. When
you're single with Triple E Hicks,be tripping dog chicks, be tripping dog.
What happened to you? Man?That's got to be racist on me
like five times. But you gotto say like this for a basic chip,
chicks be tripping dog, Yes,chicks be tripping dog? Yes dog
(02:23:28):
exactly, that would be you,right man. I think triple you respect
ladies a little more than than callinghim up and was a zoid bitch on
him right away. So what doyou think he's trip? Say? I
think you call him say good morning, I hope you're doing well. How
are you doing to hey? Goodmorning beautiful. I don't know now when
it's a zoid. You don't dresslike that. You can't no, no,
(02:23:52):
he said, zoid I did.You can't let him. You can't
fall in love with him on thefirst phone call. No, you can't.
You got you that create You gotto create some respectful space. Matter
of fact, you can't call herbabe the first time you meet her because
she should be feel disrespected. Youknow what I'm saying. It's got to
be just a conversation, right,buddy up and then we'll see what happened.
Yeah, one hundred and fifty dollarsan hour, right the gosh,
(02:24:18):
I see I bet dominic can getin on this conversation, dominic, what's
happening? You guys have made mymorning. I got it. I gotta
say I found three you know thoseyou got you guys remember those really big
fat batteries that you used to putin the back of your radio back in
the day in the eighties and thingsto make it play. I have no
(02:24:39):
power right yet. I moved throughmy home. Yeah, I was grabbing
through my home and I found forreally fat, fat fat batteries. And
I told my daughter, I'm gonnatry to see if this works because I
gotta hear the show, Salisbury show, and god damnit it. Excuse me,
sir. Yeah, you guys thatmade me smile from cheap the cheap
(02:25:03):
with this conversation some system normal styafter what's been going on with the weather.
But to the to the to thetop, to the top five,
well the in my opinion, overthe next five years, Uh, of
course it's gonna be CJ because footballwas king in the city, in this
state, pretty much in this country. I believe a lot of Houstonians betrayed
(02:25:26):
in one of the one of theAstros World Series titles for for Super Bowl
easily so in my opinion over thenext five years, looking to it in
the next decade. Uh, He'she's number one. Uh. Jim Crane,
in my opinion, is number twobecause he writes the checks for the
Astros, and out of nowhere we'vebecome a baseball city, a very knowledgeable
(02:25:46):
baseball city. So CJ number one. Jim Crane number two because if he
chooses not to sign Tucker, ifhe chooses not to go after a big
time free agent, and again,you know where are we going to be?
Because we you know he he it'sa shot call in that department,
ye did? I would say doctorCouture the president of the University of Houston,
along with coach Kelvin Sampson. Ibelieve those those two people are one
(02:26:11):
A and one B. I believethey are tied to the hip. I
will not at all be surprised toone day see kell the Sampson in some
type of advisory or leadership role inthe front office as far as running the
university's athletic department. And I saythat because coach Sampson is the big opicion.
He's a perfect leader. He's aperfect leader of men and women.
I could see him when the suntakes over as a basketball coach, that
(02:26:33):
you move him right to a pointwhere he's like nowadays, it's not just
the ad they have like president ofoperations right universities. Wouldn't that be a
perfect role for him because his influenceoutside of just teaching you on the court,
he's as influential in my mind withathletes as anybody in this city period.
And I'm with you one nd percent, Yeah, exactly, because he's
(02:26:54):
see past the heartwood of the courtthat does the support that he coaches.
Again, my institution, we letgo of a very very well liked UH
athletic director because we Kelvi Assampson seesthe future. We need to donate more,
more funds more n il So,I believe doctor Couture and coach Kelvin
Sampsons they're tied to the hip.So again the C. J. Stridd
(02:27:16):
number one in my opinion, JimCrane because he's the he's the check writer
and he makes things happen for theAstros and along with the president and the
basketball coach in the University of Houston, then it goes down honestly and truly
is the Rockets. It's this,It's the Rockets. There's two people with
the Rockets UH number the fourth.The fourth person would be Jalen Green.
(02:27:37):
If it takes off this year,then of course you're gonna start. You're
gonna signing Shingoon. But then youalso got your Batman and Robin combination.
So this is a very very veryhuge year for Jayalen Green, and I
hope the young man he does whathe showed a lot of part of last
year also elevated right well, Kilvinfor Tita, and I say that because
(02:27:58):
Timmer Tita and I believe wants totake the Houston sports landscape and the strategy.
He wants a National Hockey League teamhere. He is trying to bring
the Houston comments back. So ifhe's able to get both of those two
big time UH sports back inside thecity, well the NHL for the first
time, not counting the Arrows orwhatnot, But if Tim and Fatima is
(02:28:22):
able to bring another professional or acouple more professional UH sports to the city
over the next five years, whichis not out of the realm of possibility.
If you ask me, if theTexas is gonna win a Super Bowl
with CJ nashows are gonna win anotheranother world championship. If the University of
Houston is gonna he's gonna take offand do what I want them to do
with the Rockets are gonna do whatI what we all like them to do.
(02:28:43):
I'm gonna put my money on tillFatita because that man moves quietly and
he gets stuff done. And whenhe gets stuff done, it's like,
whoa where did this come from?So I just I think CJ. I
think uh, Jim Pray, Ithink the University of Houston as a whole.
I think living and also thank youguys have a good thing. Appreciated
(02:29:03):
great stuff. Thank you very much, dominate great stuff. Yeah, I
don't how are you going to arguethe list? I don't think you can.
And Crane, I understand why heleft, like Jordan and that group
off because if Jim Crane decides Jordangot paid and he's gonna get Jordan's in
line for another huge one when thetime comes. You and I both know
that at this ascent. But Ithink Jim Crane, his decisions on what
(02:29:24):
we're gonna do in the future moneywise dictate because there's no salary cap.
The NFL is sary cap is gonnadictate what you do right, And at
some point in time, the NFLis gonna have a salary cap just for
the quarterback. You're gonna that's he'sgonna be omitted from the normal salary cap
because you can't keep on this ascent. So that's gonna take that out of
play. And man, it isa time when this team did their their
(02:29:48):
click away from really being in contentionin for Sports Nash And we'll see what
Willie Fritz says with football, whichis a tough task, right, I
mean considering the Big twelve. Buthe's had success where he's been. But
Udoka Quantum leaps, the Astros arealready there. Texans Quantum leaps with one
of the best young five top fivequarterbacks in the league period, not just
(02:30:09):
young. And then you obviously havewhat the Rockets. We already mentioned Udoka,
but with Kelvin Sampson's group and whatthey're doing at the University of Houston
that they are so close to anational title. Yeah, they're so close.
Yes, all right, let's endthe show. Uh, talk some
Astros. Let's see if they're goingto actually play some baseball to night over
at mine A Park. That's nextright here on Sportslock seven and eight.
(02:30:31):

yeah we're still alive and hopefully peopleout there getting their power back. Mine
literally kicked in finally, at fourthirty this morning, I was meandering around
too, and like like, I'mthinking, no, no sleep because I
(02:20):
don't know about you. We've talkedabout this. If it gets above seventy
yeah, above sixty eight, I'mdone. I got. I stilled at
the ceiling all night, beats sweat. I can't sweat. I keep it.
I've told you you can hang meatin my place. Oh but by
the way, all the meat thatI bought you and a half, I
have to throw that away because becauseit's soured after twenty four or twenty five
hours. But I'm not telling anybodythink they don't know. But if you're
(02:42):
looking for us to tell you thatgreat event we saw on what's going on
in the world, Like I said, something could have blown up and twisted
around. We could have had fourhundred tornadoes hit at about from eleven o'clock
on yesterday, and I would haveno idea. Yeah, no clue.
I have no idea. So yesterdayheadlines, Yeah, I don't have any
Like I really have no idea.At about two o'clock, I think I
(03:05):
lost full cell phone service. Topright of my phone instead of saying at
and T said s S only witha satellite. I don't even know what
the hell that means. I knowwhat SOS means, but the satellite,
I have no idea. I hadit all day and all night. The
only reason I have service now isbecause I got the hell away from my
area. Nobody in the Woolands haspower like it's it's unbelievable. We're the
(03:27):
most inefficient, efficient city in thecountry. Yeah, it's a trip,
dude. I literally you take outis it for those out there? You
know when eleven or like noon orone o'clock hit, I didn't have cell
service at all tell you this morning? Right? Yeah? And so you
see you take your dogs out andwalk him because my one hundred pounds bullies
sweat. I mean he can't barelybreathe in that thing either, because they
(03:47):
get you know, that short snout. They they need some are take them
walking in neighbors half a block away. Oh no, we didn't lose power.
I'm saying, how does this work? All? No, and even
the ones. And there's a lightcoming right before you come, you know
the light by this by Jordan HighSchool before I'm like, well, let
(04:08):
me get this straight now. I'mI could throw two footballs and hit that
light. And these people are inthe same neighborhood, not to generally,
they weren't going my general there's didn'tlose power, and some have it,
some don't. I'm like, howdoes this work? And how are we
not prepared for this? You knowwhat's coming? And I'm like, so
(04:30):
that light works, but that McDonald'sis closed. My house can't get power,
but I could an underhand softball tossand you got power. It's to
make it, make it sound normal. Give me a bingo card where I
can understand. I mean, I'mnot I mean, i'd be this this
the sharpest tool in the shed allthe time. But I do know that
(04:54):
I would think that the house twoaway across the street might be on the
same grid as So it's just it'sit's a bit baffling to me. And
then it's part of me feels likeyou know when you see the cartoons where
the guy pulls the plug and makesyou laugh and puts like he's twying with
us, right, and then it'llmake him wait a little longer. I'm
thinking, okay, and I'm lookingaround, and then I've also had the
(05:16):
baffling thing where a tree that's thickand deep rooted gets blown over in the
neighborhood and literally two feet away thestick tree doesn't. Have you ever noticed
that flower petal? Flower petals arestill on my flowers. Yeah, Yet
(05:36):
the tree that is the strongest thetrees. Is this like the Chihuahua thing.
That's why, I mean, it'sreally weird to me. I mean,
I'm trying to the phenomenon of Ilook the tree. I'm thinking,
how did that thing? Look atthe roots of that thing and they blow
over? And then the trees sittingnext to it not the same height,
(05:57):
much skinnier, look like yakobad crane. It's like, how are you?
And how is this bent sideways?I mean, I hang little bird trees
in my front and back tree.It's a little wood there. How's that
thing not blown down the street?Yet the thickest tree in the neighborhood is
laying on his side in the inthe green belt. Dude, I'm driving
home. Just before you make aturn into my neighborhood, there is a
(06:20):
trampoline. Dude, I'm talking aboutwith all the netting up that you sit
in your backyard so your kids don'tfall out. Uh huh. Sitting on
the center you know, the centerarea that separates both sides of the road,
sitting there like somebody took it froma backyard and planted it there so
like they were having like a jumpvest in them in the neighborhood was closed
(06:43):
down, but it was on.It was on a fairly busy on the
busier street. And I'm like that, literally what happened is that thing was
lifted up by wind. Sit rightthere, and I'm driving my I put
my car reverse because no cars,I said, Am I seeing what I'm
seeing here? Yeah? Are youreally telling me that somebody's trampoline left their
yard with their power on? Mindyou and mind not, but and landed
(07:09):
here. And then the phenomena ofa lazy people. There's a cart in
the middle of the the middle ofthe road from HGB and cars have to
go around it and stop. Isaid, I got a great idea,
move it. Put your car onpark, turn your flashers on and move
the damce move it into the grassand lay it down so it doesn't slide
anymore. So I'm leaving today.The cart's still laying down, but I
(07:31):
gotta I'm thinking, are you peoplethis bad? That you do, but
you'll take the time to go aroundit, shove your car verse to go
around it, but you won't worryabout the car behind you. Just move
it. It's it's you're not gettingIt wasn't raining, it was sprinkling.
It would have taken you thirty seconds. So the phenomenon all if people go
wacko, Yeah, I don't knowwhat they're thinking yet you across the street
(07:53):
got powered right, and I don't, and it just it's been on me.
So back to that. That's asentertaining as it gets, folks,
So tune in for the next fourhours, because maybe the guys who stayed
home yesterday can tell us what's goingon today. Tripley do you uh?
Did you have power yesterday at all? Own and off man? No service
barely only if the Wi Fi wasworking, and that was barely working too,
sad Wi Fi finally kicked it atfour thirty this morning. That's it.
(08:16):
And then you get here and it'snot in so I don't did did
we have any baseball games yesterday?Did the Olympics start? Where do they
start? I don't know. We'realready in July nineteen. I think it's
July. It's this month. Letme google it. Was there a w
NBA game played? I can't,I can't google. Yeah, I can
tell you. I don't have WiFi on. We got some soccer stuff
(08:37):
going on. Helpe America watching itover the weekend. Okay, America is
not in it because those bombs lostto like you call them bombs, they
are bombs. I mean those bombs. We are as a nation when it
comes to United States men's national team, we are a joke. We're about
four generations behind. We are waybehind. Yeah. I don't know what
(08:58):
did Kaylin Clark play last night?Angel Reese? I don't know, but
she played the fool Rereen over theweekend. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know what happened. Ican tell you who's pitching tonight for the
Astros? Whose turn is it?Rag Getty? Was the Sunday start right?
Uh? Huh? Yes? Whopitches tonight? Next thing you're gonna
(09:18):
tell me is we missed the factthat Diesel Kyle Tuger's play that Garcia starts
tonight? Is that Diesel? Idon't know. I have no idea.
I thought h Brown pitched over theweekend. I don't think it's his turn.
Didn't he pitch before I was Iwas prepping for To me, it
feels to me Blanco, Yeah,well maybe I'll throw a no hit or
(09:41):
another one just to shove it inthe All Star voters face that I do
know that he didn't make game.Do you think do you there's one thing
I did here? I heard StanUh talking about this yesterday him and Ross
Uh. Do you think that?Because hey, look here we go,
we can talk about this next segment, Boom got our first tease of the
morning, talk about what do youthink that the Major League Baseball voters held
(10:09):
the sticky substance against him? Mhmm, good question, Brian, because
one of the biggest yeah, oneof the one of the big things was
his inning innings pitched was down Wat'sbecause he served a ten game suspension,
and then it was talked about whatdoes major League Baseball hold that against him?
(10:30):
Oh, you use sticky substances.I don't care if your eight and
three record two point five ERA,you're not going to get the nod and
over. Cole Reagan's an eight andthree record, an eight and three record
on a even without a ten gamesuspensions impressive. Yeah, so you're talking
about just like holding to him themorals part of it, Yes, because
(10:54):
he sweats a lot and put Rosinon his wrong arm and see, and
he suffered. My ole thing isand don't if you're gonna hold it against
him, don't suspend him. Here'swhy if you was so, he's supposed
to get punished twice. That's howwe worked the right. Look, so
you punish him, give him histen game suspension. But then we're supposed
to say, now let's hold itagainst him because well he might have been
he might have done it another time. Well he didn't do it another time.
(11:16):
And here's why, because they checkwhenever you come to side to dug
out. So if they didn't findit, then they found at one.
Okay, good, he suffered,Yeah, Rob Peter, p Paul,
but he's paying for other people.He got hose big time. Robert Flores
was going to join us today.I moved him to Thursday because I didn't
know that. I talked to himover a week and I said, you
(11:37):
know, this is kind of puta monkey wrench in our plans as far
as I didn't know what was goingto go on with the power and the
rest of it, And I said, can we move. Yes, Well,
he'll join us later in the weekand he you know, as an
Astros fan and right, but he'llhe also is a straight scoop guy.
I believe so. And I've workedwith Robert at ESPN, one of the
great guys and loves sports and he'sgot a great sense of humor but also
(12:00):
is pretty pretty uh fair in hisassessment of even his home team. Yeah,
and like fromber, I'm curious justto see what they because I couldn't
watch TV yesterday to fan find outwhat they feel about the Ronel Blanco snub
on MLB Network and what Robert hassay still joints later in the week.
But it's just I'm I'm it's it'squite frankly, it's Blanco tonight, actually
(12:22):
right, he deserved yet, SoI didn't you guys say that? Right,
He's pitching tonight and Flores will giveus an idea of what he thinks
the reason why Blanco didn't make it. Yeah, Blanco versus Trevor Rodgers.
Trevor Rodgers one and nine for theMarlins. Yea, he didn't make the
All Star team. He did notone and nine with a almost five e
(12:45):
R. Do you think Major LeagueBaseball held the sticky substance against for now?
Blanco will discussed the next right hereon sports Stock seven to eighty more
Sean Salisburg, get in, strapin and write in that happened again.
That happened back in eight when HurricaneIke came through right up forty five took
(13:09):
him I think five months to getthat stuff fixed. And training camp is
supposed to start in a couple ofweeks. They better get moving, cal
and uh, Nicky c know anygood contractors. Do you think that Nicky
sees not only judge itatalities, judgingroofers and contractors. Yeah you should,
that's what you think Nicky sees doing. Yeah. I was like it too,
(13:33):
And you wake up, you lookout. I'm being facetious. You
look out in the paneling on somepeople's house, completely off on one side,
and it's landed from across the streetin your yard. It's like,
people, bet what it's It's allyou gotta do is be in one fell
swoop a one wrong wind, gustright right. It's nuts man. Yeah,
yeah, I think the NRG willbe ready to go. I hope
(13:54):
I got news for you. That'sthe last storm coming through here this year.
No, I don't, sadly,unfortunately, No, it's July and
we already had a hurricane, isn'tit. Isn't this supposed to be?
I mean the most buddies of mine, buddies of mine, send me message
before this hits, and John,be careful man. The water's warm a
lot sooner and hotter than it's normallyhere in Florida. Yeah, and you're
(14:15):
in the Gulf, right, mybuddy who lives out there, and I'll
be damned, and they you know, they check on you because they know
it's coming. It's like, sad, this isn't this supposed to be an
active season? Right? It is? Most it's apparently on record. Let
it be a lesson because you knowit's coming. Sadly, I'd rather be
prepared and have it drop in twoinches of rain and say what do we
(14:35):
prepare for? Then not be preparedand yeah, you know you're sitting there
and you can't your food spoiled,and you wonder why you didn't do it.
You got to now repair your housebecause you didn't prepare for it,
or I don't know how you preventthat if it's it comes that part of
it. But I don't you know, whether it's you cooling down or gassing
up your vehicle or all those thingsthat you gotta do. But there's still
(14:56):
a lot of people that are wakingup this morning miserable. And yeah,
we're just talking sports and that's notthat big a deal. But for those
that what about somebody with a twoyear old right in the forecast today it
must be like ninety five with theone oh two heat in decks. Yeah,
those those folks, how uh howare they going to feel this morning
with your young and not only that, with the worry of you know,
(15:16):
with dogs and children and stuff.You and I can handle it. Yeah.
Can you know, somebody, whatif you have a couple of twins
and you're you're a new parent andyou're like, oh my gosh, what
am I gonna do? Yeah?So, man, I just those when
mother Nature decides to hit, shecan be brutal. That's for damn sure.
Seven one, three, two,five, seven ninety. It's got
out the phone lines early here onthe show. What's up, Billy?
(15:37):
Hey, good morning, guys.I hope y'all came out of the storm.
Okay, we got some families thatare staying with us because they ain't
got power. So we're just reachingout and trying to help when we can.
Uh, you know, it's is. It is tough out here.
If you're leaving for work, giveyourself some extra time. A lot of
lights out, A lot of peopleare already angry and kind of acting foolish
(15:58):
and don't need to get anybody hurtafter if you got through yesterday, no
reason to get hurt for some foolishlist like this. But on the Astros
side, I'm put on my astroshat first. Yeah, you dang right,
they held it against us. Blancoshould be in the All Star Game.
Now, let me go to therealistic side. Yes, Blanco's had
a great year, but it's beenvery quiet. And he has a no
(16:22):
hitter. Yes we know that,but immediately, I mean, what just
a few stars have to the nohitter. He is accused, falsely or
otherwise for having a sticky substance onhis hand. I can't understand how some
players would would horror some people wouldhold that against him. And as much
as I think he should be inthe All Star Game, and I do
(16:44):
think he should, there's a lotof people that that's all they see,
so they're kind of blinded, andI kind of get it, trying to
take the realistic approach. But ina lot of ways, I'm glad he's
not going to be in the AllStar Game. I'm glad that Tucker's healthy
enough to be in the All StarGame. I love the fact that our
guys get the accolades and they should. They deserve it, but I'd rather
(17:07):
them get the rest because we needto get healthy for this playoff push and
I do think they're going to makea playoff push. So that's just my
opinion. And uh, you know, that's worth about nothing, but that's
where I'm at with it. No, it's worth something to us because I
believe I think you're spot on.Man, I'm with you. I want
for those guys, you know,to be in the All Star Game,
(17:30):
like Blanco, because he's thirty.You never know when he's gonna have another
season like this. He may havefive more like this, but who knows
when you're gonna get elected, Soit's a it's a special thing for him.
But you know, you drive on. But I'm with you as a
team guy, rooting from I'd lovehim to get rest because with the injuries,
they're gonna need it. So No, your opinion is not only valid,
I think it's spot on your root. For the at least they you
(17:51):
know, the Tuckers get recognized,and it's going to get an opportunity,
you know, to say many anAll Star again, but not healthy enough
to play in Blanco. There's thatbone to pick like, would have been
nice for people to recognize him andget chosen if he had to throw one
inning that's great too, But Ithink we all know he's an All Star
even though they didn't vote him in. But the rest is going to be
(18:11):
much needed and hopefully it'll work tothe astro's advantage, even though it's a
bummer for him that he didn't getto say he's a twenty twenty four All
Star. Great. Yeah, andone quick question for you, Sean and
Brian. I'd just like to getboth your opinions and triple Eve for that
matter. Do you think that lowPerfido will be helping this team on the
(18:32):
field later in the year or doyou think he's more likely to help this
team via trade. I personally amon the I believe that low Perfida is
gonna be traded. He's not aDana Brown guy. His metrics, his
analytics are not terrible, but notgreat. It's not like the second Coming
of Tucker, and I think he'sgoing to be traded. Just like to
get y'all the opinion on that.You have a great, great morning to
(18:56):
be saved out there. Thanks Bill, appreciate it, Buddy. I don't
think low Prafido is going to gettraded, but he'd be a great piece
if you wanted to get a betterplayer. I think he's gonna be coveted.
I'm sure. I'm not sure they'regoing to move him. Billy.
I get what you're saying because youthink, Okay, got some major league
experience. He's got pop and power, can play first base, can play
all three outfield positions if you needhim to, can run. I understand
(19:21):
that if you say, Okay theAstros. Astros believe their World Series team
they're missing another arm or a bigbopper at first base, whatever their thought
is. Low Perfito they got andthey can use Dubon and McCormick and Myers
in the outfield. Low Perfido amoving part. I believe he's an asset
that people will cove it. Idon't think he's going to be traded.
I think he is going to helpthis team since if he doesn't get traded,
(19:44):
I believe he's going to help thisteam because of his versatility, and
I believe that he's got a futurehere. But if you wanted to get
a good player, he'd be aguy, and I think you would have
to dangle out there. I getthat. I don't want him to go
yet, but I think Billy's ontosomething when he says that, you could
understand why he would be a danglinga Part two if you wanted an important
(20:08):
part to a trade. If you'retrying to go get somebody, somebody that
you think can make a difference rightnow, it's a bopper at first base
or another arm that you think,okay, and that the last piece is
we want low Perffedo. I'd getthat. So but if he doesn't get
traded, I don't think he spendsthe season in the minor leagues. I
think he spends the season here.That's I do. Yeah, somebody,
(20:30):
I believe Brian with all my heart. Somebody's already acquired about him. I
think with like what we saw wherethey didn't give him run at first base
at the major league level. Obviously, we've heard it time and time again
where they want him to be inthe outfield. Brown said, he's an
out He's an outfielder, right,So I think if they don't trade him,
they got to be looking ahead tohaving him in the outfield just in
(20:51):
case they can't resign Kyle Tucker.Okay, well there's your outfielder or the
future, right. Okay, I'mgonna ask you this, as long as
he can cut down on the strikeouts, if you had to get rid of
two of them and keep one forthe for the next couple of years,
McCormick, Myers and low Berfito twogotta go. One gets to stay.
At the trade deadline, who areyou keeping, judge from this year,
which you're looking at the rest ofthe season experience, who's going Chaz is
(21:15):
getting traded? And let's see,I think low Berfieda would get the most
out of it because of his ageand power in what he has. But
Jake Myers pretty good, yeah,and Dana Brown loves Jake Myers, So
you think it'd be low Perfiedo.McCormick, cow think so, Jake Myers.
I think so. They're high onJake Myers, you know. I
(21:36):
mean we heard it from Dana Brownhimself, Joe Espata. They're force feeding
it and he's answered the bell.I'll get credit. He's played good baseball
for a big and had some clutchhits this year, and I think they
still think there's even bigger potential fromhim. Bill Billy makes a good point.
I would inquire about low perfiedto ifI was an opposing team. I'm
with you. I think people havealready done it. Oh there's no doubt.
Yeah, there is no doubt.But remember we thought Corey Lee was
(21:57):
no way going anywhere. True,no way, that's your future and win
tell Dana bens At owner, noIr d is is the future catcher here
and that opened the door to runhim out. So we haven't heard that
yet. But he says he's anoutfielder. Somebody else may say low Berfiedo's
the first baseman andn't want him badenough to say, we'll put him in
it and you can have our Uif you're Toronto, give us. You
know, I'm just throwing a name. Baskets available or whoever is available to
(22:19):
go get. Yeah, we'll see. I think he's a piece that you
could use if you needed it.But I'd sure like to see him play
it out here. Which big leaguerfor the Astros could get traded like an
everyday player? Let's discuss the nextThe Seawan Salisbury show continued. Everybody's going
(22:42):
through something today, you know,and the ones that aren't, thank your
lucky stars. The ones that are. You know, we all got a
bitch or a complain about a hotWe were just be safe and hopefully it
gets restored and it's a bummer.But you know what, when it comes
to like, dude, I hateseeing like all some trees that have been
around forever, yeah, uprooted itjust it really, I mean it's like,
(23:04):
oh my gosh. I know thatsounds like oh show who caresh on
there's humans. Of course, Idon't know about everybody's safe. But when
you're driving anything, how long hasthat tree been growing? You know what
I mean? Just trips me out. I just it just sucks. Like
I said, when mother nature decidesto let the wrath go, it's a
it goes. You know what wetalked about generators? Yep, do you
(23:26):
think that every house that's built nowfrom here on. I know it's gonna
sound crazy. I know the generatorbusiness doesn't want that. I guess maybe
they do if you've got the account. But it almost feels like houses should
be built with generators in a citylike this. You would think automatically that,
yeah, you know how maybe likeyou have to have certain things that
when you would you have to haveit. Yeah, you have to have
water and power. Yep, youhave to choose an energy provider, you
(23:48):
have to. It almost feels likethat when you build a home that a
generator in this city should have tobe part of it. You would think,
you know what I mean, justbecause, like like I said,
some young families with young kids orold you know parents that live with their
(24:08):
they've lost the level or they're they'rethey're older now and they're not at home.
They live with their kids. They'vebeen taking care of you forever.
Now you turn around and take careof them. And one hundred degree weather
two straight days, that power,Yeah, that's enough to kill somebody.
That'sity, yeah, no doubt.Oh yeah, and it's sweltering. So
you think if you had it literallysaves lives for some and I mean,
(24:32):
I'm not here to endorse all thegenerators, but it would seem like,
you know what, we're gonna makethis a This is what we're gonna do
when you build a new home inthis city or a certain you're building.
Generator comes with the home automatic we'remaking when we build it. That is
is there when you move in,just as quickly as your heating and power
there, a generator is there aswell. Brotherly Love Electric, Brotherlyloveelectric dot
(24:53):
com. Yeah, tell you youthink I'm kidding. It's a connection you
can count on. Apparently there's alot of lead time. No no lead
time, no no zero lead time. Shortest lead time in the city right
now. Shortest lead time American madebridges generated. See, even though you
stayed up, we didnt get yoursleep. I though you're still thinking quick
thinking on your feet. It wasthe worst night's leave I've ever gotten in
(25:15):
my life. How quickly can Iget one in uh for you? Yeah?

of armor on the damn hand.He'll take my big hands and he will
engulf him. And Billy raised,it's like when they shake your hands like
he just crushed another bone in thehand. Raise a great guy. Lay
off the tipping thing. I'm saying, man, you know you don't want
rayder Wall rolling through his door becausehe might still give him an invoice to

but in truth, if there's ifyou're leaning. If there's a decision to
be made, the players can playtoo tomorrow if they have to, or

gonna they're gonna get a divorce.Hould that thing over and eat a hot
dog. Exactly what we did.And I just had to know. I'm

It supposed to be a hot onetoday, so hopefully those linemen and power
CERs can get the power back up. You guys want to talk sports,
Yeah, you got for any ofthe fact that we have no access to
any of it. All right,the one guarantee for this season for the
Astros after Hurricane Barrel came through,I'm gonna You'm gonna take a guess.
(41:55):
Yeah, yeah, I do WorldSeries plan, the parade plan the parade
you think, because it's happened once, So you're encouraging weather to hit so
we can win a World Series.Yeah, that's what you're that's the way
(42:15):
you're going to. Did y'all twistthat? You're making it like screw the
people? How did y'all twist that? Because in the in the people are
going to be happy because they wona World series even though they're doing it
with no power. That's how youall twist that. Honestly, that was
that's impressive, both of you guys. Futrid By you triple E gasl like
you and then you just you youpressle it man. Yes, yeah,
(42:40):
I took from it too, like, send us bad weather, mother Nature,
so we can win another World Series? Am I wrong? What?
Hell? Just think forty five tornadoes? We may win four in a row.
It's got to be a hurricane.It's got to be a cane correct,
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, all right, yeah, okay,
(43:00):
alright, who's that there? Yougo? Yeah? Hmmm, well
listen, if it means a littlebit of heat, extra log because our
power to work. And you're tellingme like we're gonna be running a parade
later this year. Uh huh.I'll take this extra twelve hours of sweat.
(43:21):
Let's see where were we at?As long as everybody's say July ninth,
August right around the corner September October, let's plan it. October.
Would they beat Philly or the Dodgersin the seven Gamer. I think it's
gonna be Philly again. Okay,so they beat Philly. I had Philly
in the Astros in a rematchss year. Okay, so there you go.
(43:44):
So let's plan it for November nine, November. Yeah, November ninth,
Wednesday, and it'll all be dueto Beryl Hurricane Barrel. Yeah. So
John Whitmyer, Look, I knowyou got a lot going on this morning,
right, and he's probably listening,right, wouldn't you be after came
(44:05):
Barrel is where you want to gofor your entertainment. Yeah, it's definitely
not going to hang out with lenahdalgoing to that. So John, you're
listening playing that parade Buddy Planet,that's a name from the past. She's
still around. I don't issue.Yeah, have you not heard that?
Those two in press conferences together?Way too many? Oh god, dude,
they sound like kindergarteners yelling at eachother, hut each other off.
(44:29):
No things sound worse than the debate. No thanks, I don't need to.
I need to watch Romper Room.It's so bad man. So so
it's dude, the guarantee is becauseof Beryl, because of the cane.
It's get people healthy, don't wina world. Yes, okay, I'm
in Do you think Lance mccullor isjunior pitches this year? Can we say
(44:52):
throws a pitch at a major leagueuniform for the Astros, or starts a
game? What are you asking throwsa pitch, yes, okay, start
a game? Absolutely not, Butthrows a pitch actually appears, Yes,
at some point. I don't knowhow long it's gonna last, but yes,
he throws a pitch. It won'tbe before September first, it'll be
(45:17):
post Labor Day. If he doespost Labor Day. If he throws a
pitch, he ain't starting a gamethough he's not pitching. In my opinion,
I wouldn't throws. I don't thinkhe throws one pitch. I would
bet if you said, sean thousandbucks, you have to bet it one
way or the other. I wouldbet on your side. I'm using some
positive vibes to say, at leastsee it. I'm trying, but I
(45:38):
would not bet it. I wouldnot bet for my side. I would
say I would take the over,meaning it won't be till next year that
he pitches, but I'm hoping thatthat two years is enough to at least
get him in relief role. Ifpost Labor Day. If he doesn't throw
(45:59):
a pitch this year, then whatI think you've got to probably fin what
do you do well? I don'tthink that. Do you think mccullor's is
an astro for life? No?I mean at some point in time,
well, injuries suck. At somepoint in time you got to fish or
(46:21):
cut the bait right, and yougot to go try they gotta they're gonna
have to move, just like withForce Whitley at some point in time.
I know different ones had great successin major leagues and ones trying to.
At some point in time you justgot to move on. Or if he
pitches well, then we're back toLance mccullor's being here. So his health.
You can't just keep saying, I'llsee you in twenty twenty six.
(46:42):
I'll see at some point in time, it's gonna be either pitches here and
is healthy he's a journeyman, orhe pitches somewhere else and is healthy and
has success somewhere else. But youcan't keep holding on to well, we've
got to rehab again, right,we gotta do it again, because in
truth, you're using up a spotfor a lot of money. You just
are now I know he's gonna getpaid anyway, because well, it's guaranteed
(47:04):
money, and I couldn't root harderfor his success. But reality is,
after two years, if you're expectingLance but Colors to carry you on his
back at some point in twenty twentyfour, then a bad idea. But
his stuff is so good. Thequestion is when are you going to see
it? Injury wise, we knowwhat kind of stuff he has and he
wants to compete. If you dosee him, it's post Labor Day.
(47:25):
And I don't think you're going tosee him start a game this year.
I don't think he pitches. That'smy that's my feeling on it. And
this fan base is going to crushhim if that happens. They're already fed
up with him. I well,I think that there. I think that
their wits end with the hell thing. Yeah, and why is it taking
(47:46):
so long? I wouldn't. Ihaven't had that injury. I can't judge
it other than well, which onehe's had, like that's that those arm
injuries. I mean, I've hadknees and shoulders, but I haven't had
you know, the Tommy John VI. I haven't been through what he's been
through. I've been through some otherstuff, a lot of it, so
I can give you pain threshold onother areas. I don't know. It
(48:07):
seems like a long time. Idon't know if he's ever going to be
a star in the league. Well, when it comes to like having that
many arms so close to being great, you wonder if it can ever be
rebuilt to the point where you don'thave arm issues right. And then also
it's like, what is going whatare you doing that is causing this?
Now? Anybody that argues and says, well, no, you see guys
throw harder. Yes, guys willcome back and throw harder from certain things.
(48:30):
I get it. Throwing harder doesn'talways mean throwing better or longer.
Like I said, I couldn't rootharder for him, But you've got to
get to a point where reality's goingto kick in. And reality, listen,
if you go through the season,it does happen, and he honestly
does not pitch at some point intime, you're gonna have to count on
somebody else, which pains me tosay, but I understand fans frustration.
(48:52):
Hell, I'm frustrated with it too. I'm sure he is, but I
don't think Lance mccullors is going tobe a frontline starter for the Astros moving
forward. I just don't know.In his you know what, he may
be one of the great middle reliefguys in baseball if it comes to that.
I don't know, But I hopehis best baseball is still in front
(49:14):
of him. But with the injuries, you got to question it. Yeah,
And I hope he gets tired ofhearing that from people and answers the
beloni he's better than he's ever been. I think we all root for that,
and it'd be nice if it washere. But reality's going to kick
in. Do you think Force Whitley'sever going to be a star? A
star? No? Do you thinkhe's ever getting a front line starter where
he gets thirty starts? No,twenty eight starts. He'll be at best
(49:35):
a serviceable arm in the bullpen forthe Astros or somebody else hearing or somebody
else, yeah, or somebody else. It's a bummer to say that,
but in reality's got to start tokick in at some point. Right Yet,
in the process, you root forgood comebacks, and he was Actually
he threw in a minor league gamea couple nights ago, right Force Whiteley.
So he's before I get excited,I got to see it. Yeah,
yeah, So we'll see if hecan make his way back to the
(49:58):
big blue level. It sucks forhim, I mean philansper Colors as well.
Like these injuries are just way toocommon with the Astros these days.
Too many pictures getting hurt. There'sthere's I gonna. I don't know if
it's just tough luck or if there'resomething else going on. I don't know.
It's just there's a lot of them, a lot of arm and shoulder
issues. Yep. Sure is toomuch discomfort going around. Bad word when
(50:22):
it comes to pictures. Yep,no doubt. Let's get to the steak

(52:52):
Let's get to the steak out hereon the Sean Salsbury Show. Hoose al
tube not a part of this takeout. But you know who is Joey Lopraffito.
Joey Loperffeto. Uh, that's KyleTucker's bone bruise, uh healing apparently,
(53:19):
word on the street, word onthe street. Yeah, Tripley.
He's our resident streets inside of Tripley. Can't compartment healing. Nice man,
We need him back even though they'rewinning. Could use him. A hundred
rbi bat in the lineup would benice. And they fiel me dog.
(53:42):
Yeah, you know what, they'veThey've played well without him, and that's
important. Good teams do that whentheir best players are out. Atlanta's staying
afloat without their best You know whatI'm saying they Alanta's doing their thing without
a Cunya. I mean, yougotta, you gotta hang in there,
and they the good ones do.And when you lose what I think is
their best all around player. Ididn't say best of it, but I
think Tucker is losing him, You'regonna have somebody's gonna have to elevate their
(54:07):
game. And it feels like theyhave and they needed to move in June
and early July, and they haveand they've moved it within two games,
which is really good. And theyshould dismantle Miami here at home. In
my opinion, they should. Sweetthey should. And then the Rangers,
I mean they're better than the Rangers. The Rangers are always the thorn.
I mean, they've they've got potentialto, you know, drive a lot
of runs in and they've got bats, and I mean they're the they got
(54:30):
the ring on their finger, they'rethe reigning champion, so you got to
give them respect. And but I'dbe disappointed if they don't win for these
next six head into the All StarBreak, they should. The hell knows
what Seattle is going to do withtheir you know, last handful going into
the All Star break and then hell, if you're fortunate, maybe maybe you're
even going in. That'd be great, that would be and that'd be phenomenal.
Yep, real quick for the stakeout, Yukon and Dan Hurley agree to
(54:53):
a new six year, fifty milliondollar contract. You knew it was common,
knew it was coming. So thatgives him about what you said six
years, which about what a littleover eight that's almost Yeah, it's like
eight point three eight million times six. You said a six year deal,
six years, fifty million, okay, so forty eight Yeah, so a
(55:14):
two million more, that's about you. It was for six years. What's
that? It's yeah eight ft orjust under eight point three right around it.
Yeahah, there you go. Andhe deserves every penny. And when
it comes to basketball college coaches salariesand what he's done, it's back to
back national tile. It's tough enoughto win one of them, let let
alone two in a row. Andgood on him for not taking the Lakers
(55:35):
job, and good on yukonfert keepinghim, and good on Dan for doing
what he's great at, influencing andwinning basketball games and taking care of these
kids when in college, and hecommitted to it, and he didn't just
he didn't just jump into a historicfranchise and the Lakers and a chance to
coach lebron Hell, maybe that's partof the reason why he didn't. He
had to know that they were goingto go draft Bronnie James. Of course
(55:58):
he had to, course course,and I would I would think that he
you know, Dan's a strong personalityand uh, I love I love what
they're doing. And good for himon getting rewarded. That that's a guy
who didn't get rewarded on potentially gotrewarded on production. And there you go.
And that's the way it's supposed tobe. They'll probably be right back
there for a three repeat. Iassure you they'll be in position. Yeah,
(56:23):
he'll have them ready to go becausehe just he won't quit working and
and doing it the right way.Big Fan told you that after last year
and sent him a message. Andyou know, he is a I love
his personality, I love his grind, and I love that he loves college
basketball because college basketball, in myopinion, is far better than the NBA
(56:43):
anyway. That's just me. Iknow college basketball can be slow moving at
times, and you lose to therethere's the stars aren't in it long enough.
The high flyers believe early. Iget it. I just still love,
you know, watching big money inthe n C two A tournament,
and I'd love to see guys hangaround a long and maybe with that,
I l they will, But thegood ones are going to leave and go
play in the NBA because that's beentheir goal forever. Can't blame them that.
(57:04):
I I just loved the pomp andcircumstance of College of College hoops and
then all glad dance date. Alsospeaking of College of basketball, dig Fight
tal in remission from his cancer treatmentin cancer Fight, Yeah, I actually
uh heard from him. I've triedto send him a message a couple last
week because you know, listen,once you've had it, there's always going
(57:27):
to be the concern of doesn't comeback. And he has been one of
the great influences. I think he'sgreat for college sports, in college basketball.
I love, I loved Dicky V. I do and think about all
the money. How's this for Irony, All the money he's raised for the
V Foundation and for CAM I mean, the for his his his galla that
(57:50):
he has every year in Florida,all the money, and now he's won
battling cancer with that you know,recognizable voice. I couldn't and pray for
him harder. And he just hecares about people, and I know people
have got on it because he's soenthusiastic, and I got news for it.
Sometimes you watch because of him.Yeah, And I love If you
(58:10):
want to know a guy who lovesand is grateful for his gig, it's
him, and I just I lovehim, and I'm so grateful that he's
recovering and we need him as longas you know, as long as he
wants to do college basketball. Tome, he's the equivalent in a kind
of a different well, in adifferent way to Lee Corso. Love having
(58:32):
Corso around, right, you knowwhat I'm saying. Just iconic. When
we think college game day, youthink Corso first, you always have.
And when I think college basketball,I know that Jay Billis. To me,
Billis is as good as we have. But when I think about enthusiasm
and love for college basketball, dickBy Tale is one of the first ones
that comes to mind. So that'sgreat news to hear that he's recovering and
(58:54):
one of my favorite people on theplanet. Yeah, hopefully he can get
back to broadcasting. I yes,yes, And you know what, even
though health, obviously the health isthe most important, but he loves I'm
telling you, dude, he lovesbasketball so much in calling games, being
around the broadcast and the fans somuch and the players and watching games in
person, that it's not just health. This isn't just to get healthy.
(59:16):
He'd love to be back calling games. And as long as he's in this
battle in ESPN, ABCA, stickby him because, uh, that'll mean
for a great comeback if we canget him back courtside doing that. So
it's great news when you hear theDicky V's battle And I think you have
to have a great attitude to beatstuff like that. Yeah, And I
think that's a lot of part ofit and a big part of it.
(59:37):
And his attitude is something we allneed. Trust, the resilience, no
question about it, resilience. I'mtelling you, dude, he loves his
career. And he'll be self deprecatingwhat a great coach, right, a
great But I'm telling you what,he's become a Hall of fame broadcaster,
phenomenal, phenomenal love for basketball andthat game phenomenal. He is College of
(01:00:00):
Basketball, there is no doubt,just as well as Lee Corso is college
football. Yep, there's no questionabout it. Sticking with basketball, Anthony
Edwards in the NBA had some interestingthoughts about his role with Team USA as
they get set for the Paris Olympics. What did he say? That's next?
We're there for? The Sewn Salisburyshow continued. I think the Methodist
(01:00:22):
Training Center over off of Kirby.Anthony Edwards obviously parental star in the NBA.
Sean has mentioning things to say aboutthe upcoming Olympics. When is that
again? Did you say it thismorning? What do you mean? When
does the Olympics start? Sometime laterthis month? Let's see he's nineteenth or
(01:00:45):
twenty sixth or something like that.It's late, it's late July, tripley
can you look that up? Yougot internet right now on six twenty six
okay through August the eleventh. Okay? He said, have a wealthy useless
knowledge heat Well is that useless?I mean it's use full. Is it
useful? You think? Yeah?Especially on a morning where we don't have
internet. You know, I didn'thave twenty five hours or two yesterday.
(01:01:07):
Yeah, and I can barely evenget it on my phone still because your
services asked man, Yeah, Ithought it was like I said, it
was the nineteenth or twenty six.I could remember, So it is the
twenty six. There you go.Anthony Edwards says he's the number one option
on the US Olympic team and they'regonna have to figure out how to play
around. He still got to playaround me. Yes, well, let
(01:01:28):
me think, do we got thelist of all the players on the team
triple? Can you get that listup? Who do we got on that
team? Let's go to the OlympicNBA Olympic Basketball roster. Bear with me,
Sean, Yeah, I'm bearing withyou. I uh is he far
off? Though? Do regardless who'son that team? When you read me
those names, I'm gonna tell youwe would just go one by one and
(01:01:52):
we'll say yes or no. How'sthat you think it's Slava Medvedenko? No,
debtlift shrimp, shrimp, shrimp calledshrimp. It's not as h R
I m P debt of shrimp.Yeah, there you go a little at
the head. Just call him debt. Do you think it's uh, what
was his name? Miravich? Ithink it's Bogdanovich. No, it could
(01:02:15):
be. It could be god.Sham god God Yeah, okayam wow Yeah
the sham Way guy. Yeah,great shooter, no Shamwell, guys,
the skinny, the skinny looks likea cartoon character. Yeah, I got
the guys. Okay, one byone, all right, first person,
(01:02:37):
I'll see his bam out of biyo. Uh. Not the number one option,
but a key figure in this becausehe can get on the get to
the glass, and he's a guythat could end up being like a fourteen
point of game score for it.Love bam. Okay, No, not
the number one option. Maybe ohmaybe, dude, he can score.
I think he's I mean, hecould come out of this. You could
(01:02:58):
say he was a leading scorer onthe T so a chance, but probably
not the number one option. ButI get it, Stephen Curry. Not
the number one option, but couldstand out there. And just I mean,
I think you'll limit his minutes.I don't think he's going to play
a ton of minutes. You know, well you don't when you got this
group. It's not like you needto average, you know, thirty minutes
a night. So won't be thenumber one option. But if you need
(01:03:21):
somebody in a knockdown and gets onone of those roles where he's at four
or five in a row. Feedhim, but not the number one option.
Anthony Davis. Well, he'll he'llplay a half because he'll have a
calf's sore calf. So that answeris no yet. If his talent,
dude, if he is healthy though, he could dominate the Olympics. That's
(01:03:43):
a gift that he is. Idon't think it may go through him because
you're not sure if he's going tobe available the whole time. But I
get why if we came out ofthis and said the MVP of the Olympics
when it came to the basketball teamwas I don't even know if they vote
for an MVP in the Olympics.But you could see where he could average
like twenty five a game. Honestly, you really could. He's that talent.
(01:04:03):
Yeah, Okay, Kevin Durant,Kevin probably thinks he's the first option.
Definitely. I think he probably does. But once again, how many
minutes are you really going to wearhim down with? Exactly? But yeah,
I would I would think that kindof like Steph Curry, that they
both can have a game where theyboth pump in thirty in an important in
(01:04:27):
a game. But I wouldn't thinkthat you're going to wear them out minutes
wise. All right, we gotAnthony Edwards. I get it, he's
as gifted as theres as when itcomes to pure raw talent and fresh legs
and young and a high flyer.That that guy has got everything you want
in a great player. And thenJoel and beat Maybe see if if you're
(01:04:47):
asking me, could the could theoffense start through him? How could you
not say Ambat who's been an MVPin this league, and you can make
the argument that the offense runs throughhim in this Olympics, could you?
I am Plus, he's not atthe he's not at the you know,
the Anthony Davis injury thing. He'snot as old as Steph and Kevin Durant.
(01:05:11):
He's in that perfect age now dependingon how much he wants to,
you know, work he wants.But I could see the offense running through
him before Anthony Edwards. But Iunderstand Edward's argument with that, But I
can see Embiid. See I thinkEmbiid's gonna start, don't you? Yeah?
I would doubt he would have to. Yeah, so there you go.
Uh. And then Tyres Halliburton,No, he that's he's got some
(01:05:34):
bam out of buy you like keyminutes, new big contract, but not
the star of the Olympic team.Lebron's on there right, Drew Holliday,
great perimeter defender. You know what'scrazy about Drew Holiday? He could go
lockdown and hold the best score onanother country to like eight points, ten
points, and then turn around andhave that one game received. Did Drew?
(01:05:56):
Howid they just hang thirty on him? You remember the playoffs series?
Was it CJ? Not not cwhat's one of my guy's name? Call?
No? What's my guy's name?There's been in Portland and is no
longer in Portland? Lillard? Wasit Lillard that he was at mcconamer lit?
I think it was a Lillard ina playoff game where he shut him
down? Was it Lillard? Thiswas a handful of years ago when when
(01:06:18):
he was in New Orleans and thenhe went back to back thirty or forty
point games playing perimeterive. I meanhe outplayed for some reason. I think
we could look that up. Ithink it might have been CJ, but
I think it was Damian Lillard wherehe put the I'm talking about, he
clamped his ass down, which ishard to do, and then turn around
(01:06:38):
and hung head back to back gamesor two games in the series where we
had like thirty nine and forty oneor thirty eight, go back and look
at that Drew Holliday when it wasin New Orleans, when he was there,
And I think you're gonna find outthat in a playoff early round playoff
series, did he he had hadhis run? And I know we can't
get on the internet, so no, it's not going to run through Drew
(01:06:59):
Holliday. But he is a tremendousperimeter defender and has those big games in
him. All right, we gotthe last three here and that is of
course Brian lenn But I run,you're gonna limit his minutes too. He's
not gonna he's not gonna play.But if he want, if he decides
that he wants the offense to runthrough him, guess what it'll It'll go
(01:07:20):
through him. Yes, if hedecides that, Yes, and then nope,
he's Anthony and Anthony Davis maybe ina calf rap because they they need
load management. But if he plays, but another time, are you really
going to give him a ton ofminutes. No, I mean you're gonna
give enough minutes to get his inright. The deep team man. Lastly,
(01:07:43):
Jason Tatum, he might be thenumber one option. Now listen,
Anthony Edwards, Well, your day'scoming. You might those two guys.
Yeah, listen, So if you'reasking me, it would be Tatum,
Tatum, embiid Anthony Edwards. Thatthat that group right there. Now listen,
if you decided you were going torun the offense through Steph Curry or
(01:08:08):
Lebron James, would you have aproblem Anthony? Of course. I just
think you're gonna limit minutes on thoseveterans and save their legs. And the
most minutes you watch guy like Halliburton, guys like who was the last name
we just mentioned, No, thelast thing the tyres Uh, those are
(01:08:30):
the guys that are Those are theguys are going to log I think more
minutes. You can see Bam leadingin minutes. You could see a Booker
leading in minutes. Anthony Edwards isprobably going to beg for minutes, and
you're you're not gonna want to takehis young ass off the court because he's
so gifted. So I just lookat an offense running through, Well,
Lebron's on the court, you knowwho the offense is running through quick because
he's going to handle it at thetop. He's gonna handle it on the
(01:08:53):
wing. He's a high basketball likeyou. It's just you're just not going
to get thirty minutes out of him, right, So that that's it.
But I can see Jason Tatum beingthe man you roll this offense through as
well. And lastly, they've labeledfour coaches as their coaches. They got
Steve Kerr, Mark Few for Fewfrom Gonzaga, and Tyron lou lastly Eric
(01:09:15):
Spultra. Not about staff, it'sreally not the hell of a staff.
When did Steve Kerr become the Ishe the head coach? They got four?
Yes, Steve is the head andyeah the other three assistants. Okay,
well who does Steve love the most? That's Steph Kurry, but he's
(01:09:41):
probably gonna let Lebron make a lotof the decisions. Well, yeah,
Lebron's Ron. Lebron's probably coaching theI was gonna say he's coaching the Olympic
Games, probably the VP as well, Edwards Embiid Tatum. But I could
tell you what you know, Bronnyis gonna be on the right team.
I could throw my shirt, Icould throw my second five in there,
and they'll give the first finding thehell of a game, Brownie earned it.
(01:10:01):
Stop it. What if they allsaid said we were going add into
the Olympic two? Stop it?Yeah. So, uh there's a lot
of options, uh there and soif we don't dominate, yeah, we'll
have problems. Yeah. Yeah,that's what I'd be wondering. Who'd be
beating the USA. It's happened before, It has happened before, Yes,
(01:10:24):
it has. Yeah, Yeah,they got embarrassed. Let's see back in
twenty sixteen. It's all it's notgoing to be on twelve. I think
it's not gonna be Who has betterplayers is gonna be on? Is the
all the Americans? All in effortwise? They they got like bronze.
If they right, if they wantto stick them, if they want to
send a loud message, yeah,Olympics over. Yeah. But sometimes they
(01:10:47):
played when that when you're talking aboutwhen they played disinterested, they play with
a chip on their shoulder. Lookout. Yeah, if they're playing disinterested,
it could be one of the likeRound three where they're like, what
Lithuania beat you? You know,just you know, right, how do
they beat you guys? Yeah,that that type of thing. But if
they are decide they want to gowin a gold medal, Yeah, come
(01:11:10):
on, son, you let ateam like Croatia beat you, right right,
roster has no business losing your youryour backup five, you're your second
five should probably win a gold medal. Yeah, you should dominate, right,
absolutely, Yeah, there's no questionabout it. All right, let's
get to break and you know,right now, a lot of people without
power. One point eight million peoplestill without power after a hurricane barrel came

(01:12:59):
good horrible man man throwing a Cnote on him right after, Yeah after
the cane hits. Disrespectful man,disrespectful. Speaking of disrespectful, Paul George
wanted to stay with the Los AngelesClippers, but he felt disrespected in negotiations.
(01:13:20):
That's why he left. Well,it only offered him on a two
hundred million You know, I hadthe details. I had the details pulled
up, but uh, winter athletescan learn. Did please don't ever put
the word disrespect when it's coupled withone hundred and fifty to two hundred million
(01:13:42):
dollars? Would he get to twentysix or something? Yeah, something like
that, to twenty three or whateverit is? Yeah, and where'd he
go again? Where's poulyy walnuts?Where did he go? Remember? Triple
triple is getting us to the information? We discussed it last week. Yeah,
so Paul George, Oh, wewent to Philadelphia, Philly. Yeah,
that's exactly right, because we talkedabout they he and Maxie both that's
(01:14:06):
their big deals. Yeah, maxdeals. Yeah, that's right, was
it MAXI? Yes? Yeah,guys, all right, what you got?
He said? George called the Clippersfirst offer they came in October last
year. Sixty million dollars over twoyears was kind of disrespectful sixty million okay
for two years. That's what hetook. So that's thirty million a year
(01:14:26):
for two years. Yeah he took. Okay, But my point is,
and that was last year. Yeah, Well why is he bothered about it
this year? No clue, sohe can't let go. I mean that
was in October, you said,indeed, Okay, so nine months later,
yeah, and so is that aboutwhat it is July August, September,
(01:14:47):
Yeah, like yeah, so thatoffer? Well, what was their
latest offer? You have the latestoffer? Tripley? Did he say what
the Clippers gave him recently or we'regoing to pay him recently? I think
that was the one. Yeah,they would only trying to offer him sixty
million for two years. That wasthe only offer you received for two years?
Okay, Well two more years,fine, gotcha. I get it.
(01:15:08):
It's just hard for the normal fanto have you be at thirty five
or thirty whatever, mid thirties,and he's been a hell of a player.
I guess you could just phrase it, not that it matters what we
think is meteor fans, but whenyou throw thirty million a year at somebody
as and it's called disrespect it's hardfor the fan to say, oh yeah,
(01:15:32):
I got you yep, right,because you it's like it's like when
one guy you know, gets paidthe fifty million instead of forty million,
they said, well, I gotto feed my family. You know,
I understand you got to feed yourfamily, but you could a better phrase
and choice of words would probably bewise and learn from somebody else using that
same phrase that people said, justshut up. Okay. So well,
(01:15:56):
Paul George made a wise move,not to say he was disrespected at thirty
million a year, but to holdout and get two hundred and twenty plus
from the Philadelphia seventy six ers.And it's probably still going to walk away
without a ring. No no disrespect, But pun intended by the way is
that he held out and he gotpaid, and all of it's his.
So he made in about you knowwhat, one hundred and sixty million more
(01:16:19):
than they were going to pay him, at least by this talk. And
I assure, as he'll tell you, Philadelphia didn't disrespect him. And if
he felt disrespected, fine, heworked out in his favor. But I
just think you could use a betterchoice of wards when it comes to the
person who's going to the stand.I can't quite understand thirty million a year
being disrespectful in any way, shapeor form in basketball terms. For Paul
(01:16:40):
George, I guess yeah, Ican tell you this. He's not going
to earn two hundred and thirt twentymillion dollars. His performance over the next
four years or five years. Won'tsay two hundred and twenty million worth as
much to respect as I have forhis game. Hell of a player.
Paul George's best basketball behind him.Yes it is, Yes it is.
And he got paid and I andI'm not in his wallet. I don't
(01:17:01):
have a problem with it. Goodfor him. If you're gonna be pissed
at anybody, be pissed at theseventy six ers for paying it. But
if you think Phil, if youthink Paul George is the James Harden was
apparently the missing piece. Yeah,is he there anymore? No answers,
No, No, he's not rightthe answers he's not. Uh embiid still
there. And you've got you paid, Like I said, you gave up
(01:17:25):
a half a billion dollars for twoplayers. Yeah, let's hope it works
out, because if it doesn't,you'll Paul George. A lot of money,
Yeah, a lot of scratch,yes, a lot of green backs,
a lot of greenbacks. I wasgetting into the eight o'clock hour.

And he sat down with Robert Fordand this is how it sounded.
And welcome back to Astra launch.Robert Ford, please be joined by Andrew
Ball, Astro's assistant general manager beforethe Astros wrap up this series in Minnesota.
And you've been on this entire trip, Andrew six and three so far.
You're taking credit for allow this rightexactly exactly. It's it's nice because
they don't let you go on tripsif you don't have success in the last
(01:21:53):
one. Is that is that?Is that a serious that it's a very
superstitious game. So you'd like tobe around when things are going well,
yeah, for sure, and youhave to be, I imagine, pretty
pleased with how this team has played. I mean not just on this road
trip, but really over the lastcouple of weeks. I mean, obviously
got off to a slow start,but this was the sort of stretch yeah,
was really kind of needed to kindof get back in the things.
(01:22:15):
For sure. It's been really goodto see and I think honestly it's what
we were expecting coming into the season. So it's been nice to see it
play out like that. It tookus a little while to get going,
but yeah, we've been on agood round here and hopefully we can keep
it going. When you looked atthe way things were going over the first
couple of months of their season orso, what were some kind of slivers
of optimism, if you will,that things would turn around, where their
indicators, where their analytics that youguys were seeing that were making you think,
(01:22:39):
Okay, we could see things turningin this team. You know,
hopefully we'll start playing better baseball.For sure. I think both underlying metrics
were there that maybe we were gettinga little bit hate to use this term,
but unlucky. And I think alsojust from a scouting perspective, the
guys were still performing, the talentwas still there, and I think,
really, you know, what wewere seeing is we just couldn't seem to
time it up all at once.When the pitching was good, the hitting
(01:23:00):
wasn't and vice versa. And Ithink now we've been on the stretch here
for a little while where we've gottenkind of everything rolling at once, and
that's when you start to really playlike this and get get hot. Astro's
a couple of scares this series ofhit batters. Friday al Twove got hit
by a pitch, didn't play yesterdayalthough he was available almost pitch hit in
yesterday's ball game. And Jordon Alvarezyesterday getting hit the back of the right
(01:23:24):
knee with a pitch. And Iknow Alvarez said after the game that he
had gotten hit in that same spotnot too long ago. Obviously, I'll
two eight back in the lineup today. That's good news. What do you
know about those two guys? Yeah, for sure. You hold your breath
every time somebody gets hit. Jordanhad a couple of those in the Toronto
series as well, and so hehas had a couple kind of in that
same spot. He is sore today, not in the lineup, but I
(01:23:46):
think hopefully we dodge bullets with bothof them. I think Jordan will hopefully
see back in the lineup early backin Houston this coming week, and L
two VA's back in there today,and good news on the on the pitching
front with Jake. Bloss made arehab start yesterday at sugar Land, his
Triple A debut, as it turnsout, and four innings, gave up
(01:24:08):
just one hit and allow a run, fifty five pitches, and I understand
he threw another ten pitches in thebullpen of over the report you got on
Bloss, Yeah, Jake looked reallygood. It was really comfortable. The
veila was there up to ninety fourto ninety five, just like he's normally
been. So everything you'd want tosee. I mean, it's nice to
see the no runs and the success, but really in an outing like that,
we just want to see him feelinggood and see the health there for
(01:24:30):
him to be able to come backand help us pretty soon. You talk
about dodging bullets, kind of dodgea bullet with Bloss too. To a
certain extent because I mean, yousee a guy come out of his big
league debut with the trainer in thefourth inning, you know, shoulder issue,
and the fact that he was ableto make a rehab start here but
a week and a half later.I mean that's extremely encouraging. Yeah,
no doubt. Again, you getscared when that kind of comes out.
(01:24:51):
You have a guy in his bigleague debut, The emotions are up,
the adrenaline's going. You know,maybe he stresses himself a little bit more
than he has in the past,and I think that that's really what happened.
You know, next day, evenafter that, we kind of felt
like he was doing well. Ithink we just wanted to be really precautionary,
give him a little bit of ablow, but hopefully he's going to
be fine. Do you guys haveany idea yet where you're going to slot
(01:25:12):
him back in the rotation on thisupcoming home stamp. No, we're still
talking about it. I think becausewe have the off day coming up tomorrow,
like we have a lot of timesthis year, we can kind of
juggle around the rotation a little bit. We're also trying to, you know,
get some extra time for Hunter andRonell and some of these guys that
are getting up there a little bitin innings counts because they throw on the
ball well and we've relied on thema lot. So figuring out where Jake
will slot in, whether that's youknow this upcoming home standard either. Right
(01:25:34):
after the All Star break and joinedby Andrew Paull, Astro's assistant general manager,
before the Astros wrap up this serieswith the Twins, and we talked
about Jake Bloss minor league rehab start. Luis Garcia a minor league reehab start
on Thursday, coming back from TommyJohn surgery. He pitched her Corpus Christy
at San Antonio. The line wasn'tvery pretty, giving up four runs in
(01:25:57):
an inning and air through thirty onepitches in his second can rehab start.
Where were you hearing about Garcia?Yeah? Again, just like I said
with Jaco a minute ago, Ithink in these kinds of outings, we're
not too concerned with the stat line. You like to see some success,
but really with Leuis, the bestthing was that the villa was where we
want to see it at this point. He felt good coming out of that
and he's going to be able tomake his next turn and kind of keep
(01:26:18):
building to get back up here inHouston and help us kind of like a
spring trending progression for Garcia at thispoint right exactly. And so we're going
to see those those lower pitch countsfor a little while. He's going to
bounce around levels just to figure outwhere the right place is for him,
even from an intensity level. Andyou know, he's probably gonna potentially we
have the All Star break to dealwith, so we might see him back
(01:26:39):
in Florida. You know, ifyou see him pitching at different levels,
it doesn't mean anything really wonky abouthis success or not. Just trying to
figure out, you know, what'sthe right timing and the right environment for
him to get his work in.And you know, you touched on this
a little earlier about you know,you think about guys like Renel Blanco,
Hunter Brown trying to give those guyssome blows, even Spencer Raghetti as well,
(01:26:59):
you know, in the big leaguesfor the first time, trying to
give these guys some some breathers.What are some things you guys have talked
about and imagine six man rotation hasbeen in there, maybe skipping guys things
like that for sure. I thinkin twenty two one of the reasons we
were so successful is we were ableto navigate a six man rotation a lot
of the year and enable it enabledus to keep healthy, keep successful.
(01:27:19):
And so I think it's something inspurts both last year and this year where
we like to do it when wecan. Between between injuries and some other
factors, we haven't been able togo to it quite as much this year,
but yeah, skipping some guys gettinginto a six man rotation when we
can, just utilizing the off daysas much as we can, and even
slotting in some of these bullpen daysif we have the ability to do it,
(01:27:40):
just help us keep everybody fresh downthe stretch thron Anything new on Justin
Verland or I know he's been he'sbeen playing catch. He's been stretching it
out a little bit. Yeah,Justin's playing catch. I mean it's it's
not much of an update right now. We're hoping to get him back some
time after the All Star break andsee where he can slot in. He's
a really important member of the rotationand it brings, you know, now
the only ability, but also thatveteran presence and veteran leadership Victor Caratini has
(01:28:04):
joined the club here in Minnesota.He wasn't on the first two legs of
the road trip coming back from thehip flexor injury. He's already running.
He's been hitting in the cage.I mean, I know when he first
went down, Dana said maybe aboutthree to four weeks. I mean,
it seems like he's progressing extremely,maybe ahead of schedule. I don't know
if that's the right way to putit. At least he's on schedule.
(01:28:24):
I think he looks really good.He feels really good and everything he's doing.
He took VP on the field yesterday. He's doing catching drills with Michael
Collins, our catching coach in theoutfield. I mean, I think running
is going to be the biggest thingfor him, just with the strain that
he has right now. Is justfeeling like he can go through a whole
game with backing up bases, runningthe bases, those types of things.
It's going to be the big hurdlefor him. And we saw Caleb ort
(01:28:45):
make his astro's debut yesterday. Pastthree years saw time in the big leagues
with the Red Sox look pretty impressive. Upper nineties one two, three inning.
A guy claimed off of waivers fromBaltimore back in late May, and
he had been pitching triple A norfor for Baltimore numbers we're not very good.
He's been lights out with sugar Land. What's changed since you guys got
him. I think the underlying stuffis what drew us to him, and
(01:29:09):
then we liked like you saw it. It's a power to pitch. Mix
fastball slider are both effective pitches,and you know, we saw some of
those characteristics and sometimes you just needa guy to get a little bit of
a change of scenery and other opportunity. In Sugarland, he was really good
for us. The numbers were there, and so you know, we had,
Louise said, a tough outing theother night. We had to go
down and get a fresh arm,and Caleb kind of earned the earn the
(01:29:29):
opportunity to come up here and seewhat he can do and see if he
can help us. What are someof the things you guys are looking at
when you're looking at waiver claims,particularly pitchers or guys you could potentially claim
off of waivers in terms of whoyou want to bring into the organization.
Yeah, it's it's a lot ofthings. It's underlying pitch characteristics, it's
track record of success. It's certainlythings like make up and fit in the
clubhouse and how they're gonna be andand then sometimes it's also even the you
(01:29:53):
know, when we're talking about relieversor other things, it's the complexion of
maybe even the big league staff thatwe have up here. We want to
get guys that have a different looks. So if we say, even with
our our bullpen right now, likeSeth Martinez and Taylor Scott both really effective,
but they kind of give you asimilar look. So we're trying to
bring in guys that maybe do somethingdifferent and can give Joe and Josh some
options against different pockets and hitters.All right, Andrew Ball, Astro's assistant
(01:30:15):
general manager, thank you so muchfor joining us. Yeah, thanks for
having me. All right. Thatwas assistant manager general manager Andrew Ball joining
Robert Ford of the Astros broadcast team. You can hear every Astros game right
here on seven nine, your homefor Astros Baseball. One thing that we're
going to discuss is Andrew talked aboutthat six man rotation, the potential for
a six man or How are yougoing to get that done when you're still
(01:30:40):
trying to figure out who your fifthis? Yeah, well, I think
that when you do that, you'rehoping for that you're getting people a plethora
of pitchers healthy at the time,and so you've you've got to slide him
in any way you can. Yeah. So for legit starters and trying to
figure out what out the health whothe fifth and sixth are gonna be,
(01:31:01):
it may be more than just twoguys as well. Yeah, so I
think you gotta I mean, yougotta evoke. You like that, don't
you say? I do? Yeah, you have to. You have to
do whatever it takes. Listen,you're gonna have to mix and match and
piece things together the second half ofthe season, just like they've done in
June and July and find the theyou know, the pieces at work and
(01:31:21):
six man rotation to get rest.But the question, you gotta get them
healthy enough to have six guys todo it, right, that's my point.
Who is going to be part ofthat six man rotation. We'll discuss
that next right here on Sports Talkseven ninety. But first let me tell
you about my good friends over atof Voke roofing and general contracting. As

Buckle up. The Shawn Sounds Preyshow continues. It's gonna be a
hell if Andrew Ball wasn't the assistantgeneral manager. What do you think he
(01:33:39):
would do, just based off ofhis voice. Yeah, be an accountant,
you think. No, a moneyguy running like a running like a
financial firm, a like venture capitalist. Yeah, ball Ball and Doe Dough
company or yeah, okay, thereyou go. So that almost sounds like
(01:34:00):
a construction company though too, thatdoes. Or maybe maybe he's you know,
like I could see him running ayou know, he's the guy he's
like a president of you know,like the financial the president of a big
like I said, some kind ofmoney firm. I would imagine. I
don't know what his backgrounding, butI'm gonna guess I know a little bit
of it. I'm gonna guess he'sgot some analytics in his background. Yeah.
(01:34:26):
Oh that's Andrew Ball. He worksfor the Ball Smith and Jones Company.
No, he's president, yeah,president, yeah, president. Yeah,
that's your venture capitalist group exactly.They handle like like two billion dollar
portfolio, right. Yeah, Yeah, that's that's Andrew Paul Man BSJ wealth
advisor. Probably No, he justI think he probably Hey, I would
(01:34:49):
imagine he knows baseball listening to himand has some a good financial understand financial
understanding about the analytics and and financesof baseball. Yeah, and how the
numbers work. Let's put it thatway. Whatever numbers are involved, I
imagine he has a pretty good ideaof it. It's find an interesting,
man that they talked about a sixman rotation when you barely know who your
(01:35:11):
fifth guy is. Yeah, andI think they're probably trying to preserve it
so it doesn't become a three manrotation, if you know what I mean.
With the injuries that have befell themthis year. Good word, wow,
But I don't think there. ButI also don't think they're beholden to
six man rotations. Another one andkiller bees there is yeah, bitches,
Yeah, yeah, I have aquestion for you. Here's an interesting question.
(01:35:33):
It's really not that interesting, Okay, but it may be. I
was thinking about this last couple ofdays and it hit me right, Uh
was so that I didn't have anyinternet and all this stuff. I'm thinking
some of the things that that I'dlike to discuss at some point this summer.
Well, I was sweating my bizlsare huh you know biz alls are
yeah, yeah you do. Yeah, why you side me on the beach
(01:35:56):
because earlier you were talking about hangingme. I thought about who are the
five most important people in sports rightnow in this city, moving forward,
not in the past, moving forward, the five most important sports personalities,
meaning is it a coach? Isit an owner? Is it is it?
Is it a front office guy?Is it a the is it Yainer
(01:36:18):
Diaz? Is it Jalen Green?I wonder who the five most important sports
figures are in this town. AndI'm not broadcasters don't count. I'm talking
about actually play, coach it,general, manage it, own it,
moving forward from today as we look, as we look at the future and
the present in the future, notworried about the past that you know,
(01:36:40):
Bigio and and the bag Wells,unless they're part of the future. As
far as front office in the backof the baseball okay, right, I'm
just curious who we would in ordergo one, two, three, four,
five of importance to just the sportslayout of Houston and maybe all of
their sports, Like where does DanaBrown fit in? Is he a top
(01:37:01):
five? Is Al Tuvey still inthe top five? Is Jordon going forward?
Is I think there's a couple ofnames that are obvious, but would
it be We've talked about like ifyou had to get rid of these guys
and I know there's there's maybe twentyof them that are more important. But
I'm talking about moving forward towards thechampionships, the attention to this city,
(01:37:25):
what they're going to mean to afranchise, what they're going to mean to
the future of the franchise, andbringing other people here. It could be
Tillman for Tita and bringing a hockeyteam here. Whatever. I'm just and
I don't know, and it's ithit me A said, I really don't
know. Is is CJ. Stroudjust because he plays quarterback the most important
sports person moving forward in this town? I think it's him? And you
(01:37:47):
still so he goes back to,well, two guys who are the best
players? You think the best playersare the most important sports people in the
town? Yeah, I think CJ. Shroud edges jord On just because he's
the quarterback, right. But yetif is are the are the uh?
His ownership is for Tita more importantright now to the city of sports than
(01:38:10):
than the than the McNair's are doesit come down to mister Is mister Crane
still the most important owner? Imean when I say important, like the
not beloved, I'm talking about tothe growth and or the success moving forward
now and moving forward? I wouldthink the quarterback's got to be near the
top of the list just because ofwhat that position requires, right, yea,
(01:38:33):
Yet is it you know, afront office analytics guy. Is it
the McNair's commitment to change? Isit? Is it? Is it the
the you know, the husband orthe wife and the McNair fam. What
is it moving forward? Is isit? Is it? Uh? I
mean, you know, I'm justthrowing Jackie hin. It's not him,
(01:38:55):
you get my point? Is ita young pitcher? I mean? Where
what's the future here? Where's theimportance of the five most important sports players,
general, managers, owners or peopleinvolved in moving sports forward? And
I don't not a broadcaster or somebodywho's bringing the Super Bowl back here.
I'm not talking about a committee.I'm not a literally player, coach or
manage or own it. I wonderwhat the order would be for most people.
(01:39:17):
Yeah, strouds Do you think itstarts with Stroud because he plays quarterback?
Yeah? I think he's got tobe at the time. Would anybody
in the basketball presence be Kelvin Sampsonso so Willie Fritz so locally? Like,
well, obviously we're never we're talkinglocally, so I think, and
it can be pro or college andthe college realm. And are we sticking
(01:39:38):
to Houston? We're not going toAustin or just right here in Houston.
Kelvin Sampson is up there and WillieFritz to turn around U of H and
get them back to their winning waysnow that they're in the Big twelve,
Like he's got to be up thereas well. Okay, well, how
do we rule out a an athleticdirector at UH? How are they going
to die? Could it if you'vegot to move in shake or does it
just completely change the course of auniversity. That's that's why I'm I don't
(01:40:02):
And you know, Furtita's got hishands in UH as well. So as
far as sports just sports figures atall, Yeah, that aren't really they
aren't broadcasts. I don't want thatcommittees. You know, hey, we
brought another Super Bowl here, greator a Final four, that's obvious.
I just talk about over the courseof time looking forward, how I see.
(01:40:23):
I think Kelvin Sampson's massively important.Yeah, definitely, because it has
to be. Okay, who's closerto a championship, the Texans or the
Houston Cougar's basketball team right now.Yeah, let's talk about a next coming
up on time. I think it'sa really good topic. Five most important
sports figures in the city of Houston. Let's talk about it next. Let's

Com Advisory Services off it through TrasiWealth LLC and SEC Registered Investment Advisor paid
advertisement and we're valor for the SeanSalisbury Show continued, know how to deal
(01:42:51):
with this stuff, but you're sureas hell don't wish it on anybody.
And keep an eye on your neighborand your friend. Never know when they
may need help. Don't take thatfor granted. I asked the question.
It's been on my mind for quitesome time, and I thought, you
know, in the summertime, aswe head into an Astros run, Rockets
getting a lot better. Boy,do I like Udoka? I do?
(01:43:14):
And what they're building got so manymean hell they will got damn near.
They ended up with a five hundredbasketball team this year, and they were
in the mid twenties with Winds theyear before, fifteen sixteen whatever it was.
Wins better. That's impressive. That'squantum leaps. And then you think
about what Kelvin Sampson's meant to andwhat a national championship would mean to the
city moving forward, you think aboutStroud and Jordonnor Kyle Tucker were still heading
(01:43:39):
towards three thousand with the guy likeAltuve. So it's not who the best
is the most important and not broadcasters, not bringing a super bowler of Final
four back to Houston, and notUniversity of Texas and not A and M.
Just Houston proper. And it doesn'thave to be pros. It can
be collegiate whatever. It is.The five most important and it's hard to
(01:44:00):
name him if you want to goin order, fine, but the five
most important people to now and movingforward that are going to the difference makers
that we need to you need morethan five, I get it. But
just and it doesn't mean who thebest is in their job. It could
be, Hell, you could bethe third best pitcher, but we think
five years from now you're going tobe the best. You know that's the
(01:44:21):
guy, or you think the JinerDias is the next Johnny Bench and you're
moving him forward. It could beyou know, a recruits that's now a
freshman at University of Houston, couldbe Willie Fritz. But whether it's an
owner, a player, a coach, a front office guy, whatever,
it is the five most important peopleto the city of not not just in
(01:44:44):
the city of bringing pub. I'mtalking about to the sports, to winning,
to pub, to what it's goingto mean to that team that's sport
all of us and to them.Who are the five most important to now
and pushing forward the city of swartshere and the teams and everything moving forward.
The five most important Let me giveyou five names. It just came
(01:45:05):
to mind off the top of myhead, in no particular order. I
still think, and I'm not puttinghim first, is Jim Crane's all the
owners are but Crane. Here's why. His commitment to how much he's going
to decide, the kind of moneyyou pay to keep guys here and bring
here, and to continue to doit. Can you continue to let stars
(01:45:27):
go and still win and keep thewind open because we know he knows baseball
knows he loves to win. Istill think he's a massive presence. All
the Fertida is going to be aswell, and the McNair fame. I
get it. They've got it herenow. See. I think in football,
the coach and the player once theowner turns it over to the front
off and you could say Cassario withthe way he does it, but I
think Demko's going to help with that. So I think Crane's still that important
(01:45:49):
to the now and moving forward.Two Stroud and this isn't or Stroud would
be at the top of the list. Roe Stroud, jord On. I
I think I almost think we stillunderestimate the what would bring more, Oh
my gosh, the city. KelvinSampson's team winning a national title or em
Udoka's team winning an NBA championship.I think that's a good wood rite and
(01:46:13):
both are impactful as hell. Ithink Kelvin can be considered there because of
what he's done. And I stillwere craving that, right, They've been
so close, right, Domico's inthe top five for me, And then
I said, Crane, you canmove around to me. The no brainers.
The no brainers are Demiko, Ryan'sc J Stroud, Jordan Alvarez.
Yes, and I think you cansay Kelvin for me, you could say
(01:46:36):
Udoka because this basketball team hasn't hadthe dominant it's been in a while.
It's been a while, Jim Crane, because you want to keep what's already
there. What's more important Jim Craneto the baseball team and signing players,
or c. J. Stroud tothe football team. Stroud right, and
what's more important? What's more importantthe the the McNair family right now of
(01:46:57):
football or if you already got thethree in place, you're already committed to
Jamiico, Ryans, Nick Cassio andnow CJ. Strout. Do you have
what's in place now that they cancarry you that you just got to sit
back and let it ride because you'regoing to make less decisions with a salary
cap on money with football, lessimpactful because you have a salary cap,
so you turn it over to yourgeneral manager. You get the players with
baseball with no salary cap. Youknow, with the threshold of the tax
(01:47:21):
and the rest of it, theLexar Tacks threshold, where's your commitment.
It's almost out of your personal wallto it's my commitment. So I'm going
to keep the Kyle Tuckers. Andwhen can you keep losing them? Right?
So I think it's in Listen.I could come up with fifteen names,
ash, I just throwing names outthere off the top of my head.
And I do think the University ofHouston winning a title in some sport
is going to be massively important.And Kelvin Samson's as close as any franchise
(01:47:46):
here is to win in one notname the Astros, right, So there's
there's some names that I threw outthere. Yeah, let's let's continue this
discussion. Wilson gets to get outto the phone line seven one three,
seven ninety. We'll take your calls. Who is there? Who are the
top five most important sports uh figureheadsright now in the city of Houston.
That's next on Sports Talk seven eighty. This Sean Salisbury show continues to continue.
(01:48:14):
You're gonna go play golf today ifI listen, What are you guys
worried about? The heat? Isthat? Why? There's that as well?
Yeah? Well, what were youworried about? Is the golf course
even open? Mine is that it'sclose because one of the trees got uprooted
and landed right in the middle ofthe fairway, so it's close to it.
Normally it's closed on Monday. Thetruth is, while people are going
through this, I won't play golftoday because you know what, I'd actually
(01:48:36):
carry around the guilt of people arestruggling and you're out there and Honestly,
I know that sounds you can't likesave help every you try to, but
I really would stand. The firsttime I hit a bad shot, I'm
like, Karmen, dude, whatdo you can't be out here? But
what do you doople need trees removedfrom there? Yeah? So I will,
but at some point this week Iwill. But I know this to

a brazier burger. Yeah. Peoplelike, what's a brazier burger? That's
what they call the DQ burgers?Right? Will you ever get a brazier
burger? No, you won't.I mean, yeah, probably there's better
burgers, I'm sure for sure,But for some reason, the brazier burger
just sounds like it. And thenmaybe you dip the burger in the chocolate
(01:50:26):
into the cookie. No, maybea fry in the right not the burger.

Tasty freezer is like the here wego. It's like the like the the
shoulder to shoulder of dairy Queen.Tasty freeze got similar ice cream? You

in California and Arizona. Why you'retripping over there, bright, I'm just
(01:51:33):
somehow you two guys like always waterBurger's got the best dessert too, right,
No, water Bird, not evenclose do they even have a dessert
there? Yeah, I got acouple of cookies. I got cookies,
yeah, right along with voke thesenuts. Let's let's talk to Jim.
(01:51:53):
He wants to talk about this topfive in Houston. Then we gotta get
to Doug Sam, and then Igot another caller coming in. Let's start
with Jim. Jim, thanks forholding good morning. Hey, hey guys.
Yeah. When I was I wasdriving and you guys brought up the
topic. These were I had sixnames, immediately pop it ahead and I
eliminated one, so I slided fiveand I just left it alone. I
(01:52:15):
could be talked out of some ofthese, but this was literally just as
John said off the top of myhead. Obviously, Number one, QB
one C J. Stroud. Heis the most important sports figure in the
city. Case is you know,in one year he transformed our the organization
from being mired in meocrity to ateam that can take it to the next
level. And we can't. Wedon't. We could talk about a super
(01:52:38):
Bowl with this team and not laughman. Number two, Yeah, number
two is one that probably I wouldn'tlast out of my brainstorm list, but
I went and put them in there, I said Jalen Green because from the
NBA, from the Rockets perspective,we are loaded with talent and it's not
like we have to rebuild quote afarm system with the NBA. He if
(01:52:59):
he can take it to the nextlevel and become our equivalent of like you
know, Kobe like kind of player, he can help take the Rockets to
the next level. So again brainstorming, he was number two. Hey,
Jim, real quick, real quick, I'll let you finish. Moll think
about this. At the trade deadlinelast year, people were one to move
Jayalen Green and you got him inyour top five. Isn't that? It's
amazing the transformation, right, howpeople feel he's a great talent and he
(01:53:23):
elevated his game. It's amazing howit shifted, right Amen. Yeah,
And like I said, if hecould keep taking it to the next level,
it feels like that that takes ourteam to the next level. Ye
three and four, I put jordOn in tuck. Those are two guys
that can anchor the offensive lineup becausethey're young, they're both top five MVP
Hittie candidates. If they stay onthe astros, that keeps our window open.
(01:53:45):
And then number five Brown, becausethat's biggest job from a GM perspective
in this in this city, tokeep our get our farm system back to
a level to where we can stillkeep this window open. So he was
my number five and that was justkind of like a brainstorm. I went
in and ran with it, andI said, I'm gonna freeze it and
try to overthink it. Jim,think about this. And the reason why
I put Crane above those two Tuckerand Dana Brown, Yeah, is because
(01:54:10):
without a salary cap, Dana Brown'shands are going to be tied unless if
Jim Crane says, listen, KyleTucker while important, but Kyle Tucker is
only going to go as far asthey pay him, right, He's gonna
get paid. Well, he's important. So in order to keep Kyle Tucker,
who's the number one decision maker onthat, yeah, it'd be,
it'd be. It would be correct. I'm saying, Yeah, you could
(01:54:30):
tak me. See, you couldtaught me out, ye see the last
two for me of the same wayyou could talk me into some other guys
as well. I'm with you onehundred percent. I see where you're going.
But then I'm looking up the ladderand saying, well, Tucker who
soon wants to be here if hegets paid. And while Dana Brown I
loves Tucker, guess what Dana Browncould love Tucker all he wants. But
if Jim Crane says, I'm notpaying him three hundred plus, man,
guess what happens those two those?There you go? But you're you're,
(01:54:54):
you are right. We could pickfifteen guys, but I like your five
man, You're you're head in theright direction because and the sneaky ones Jalen
Green and what kind of talent hecan bring to this if he elevates to
that leadership role where you're grabbing peoplearound the throat like Kobe did when you
mentioned his name. Great point,Jim, thanks for the call, man,
great stuff. I think there's alot of a lot of a lot
of guys. Give we got timeto get to a couple more, right,
(01:55:16):
Let's let them quickly. Yeah,we'll get to Aggie, Doug,
Aggie, Doug, what's going on? Hey? What's up? Fella's?
Uh? I love this topic too, but I kind of look at it
from like the next five years perspective, like what will be the top five
and who you need to excel withinthe next five years, and so I
would like I would basically just putthe coaches and splash general managers, so
(01:55:39):
you can do Casario, Tomiko,you do a Spot, a Brown,
and then a Doka uh and Stone. So I kind of like put those
guys as kind of a collective topthree uh. And then I didn't start
kind of looking at either either JalenGreen or Alfrem Sangune or Tucker or Jordan.
But I look at it probably moreof a Jordon and CJ. Stroud
(01:56:02):
type of situation because of the factthat if CJ. Stroud doesn't excel in
the next five years this, youknow, the Texans will be crap.
And also if Jordon doesn't stay healthyfor the next five years, I mean,
think about it. We've actually sustainedexcellent for the last month and a
half without Tucker, so it's possible. And also we've done the same with
(01:56:25):
that on Tuday. We've never doneWe've never sustained a long term success without
Jordon. So I think that thatthat's kind of the top five that I
look at great point and and we'lltalk more about this, Brian, and
I want to get to who youthink too. Here's here's two for sure,
appreciate you, Doug. Here's twoand we'll continue this conversation nine o'clock
(01:56:45):
hour. Here here's two that areno brainers for Stroud and Jordon have to
be on there. Yeah, noquestion there. I'm they are there,
They're you cannot I cannot be talkedout of them. The third one,
I'm not sure I can be talkedout of because I'm thinking I'm not putting
them in the category yet. ButI know how you got to build.
When it comes to football, thecoach and the quarterback working together matter so
much. You can argue who's moreimportant with a Brady Belichick thing, and
(01:57:09):
people say, well, see Bradywas more important. Well, Belichick seeing
the evaluation of talent to get Bradyon the field after bledsoel was hurting to
keep him there, and see thatis genius. Right. And in a
young startup version of it, yougot to have startup companies all over the
place, right, Yeah, venturecapitalists invest in money in them. We
(01:57:31):
may have the start of that withDemiko, Ryans and Stratt, and I
think both early in the early infancylean on each other one to see to
turn him loose the other to say, Okay, we're going to build around
you. I'm not sure I cankeep Demiko Ryans out of that for the
five years Doug's talking about. I'msure he would be my third lock if
I was going to one. Honestly, the first two there is a no
(01:57:53):
brainer. The importance of them inthis city and what they bring to it
and their presence. Both of themcan be the MVP of the league in
CJ. Stroud and you ord Onout for us. Yeah, let's keep
this conversation rolling seven one three,two one two five seven ninety W Also

at the house using my internet rightnow, no joke. Nice, There
you go. Gosh. I wasgonna try chime in for on the five
most influential guys right now, andI just in my head, I'm going
team to team. I got yourdon al Chuve cj uh Damiko Ryans And
(02:03:14):
then I think Emadoku for the rockets, because you know, I just think
he's the most influential on what he'sdone with the rockets so far, and
I want to see what you guysthink about that. Yeah, Terrence,
great stuff. Man. If Iwas gonna go with a with a rocket
right now. While I think JalenGreen's got a chance to be a star,
I think Udoka's got a chance toif you're considering what he did to
(02:03:36):
stay, to stay the course throughall the tough times this year, and
dealing with young players and getting themto learn and commit to the defensive end.
I think he is a monster andmassively important to the future of the
Rockets I do. And shaping guyslike Jalen Green and getting them to commit
to being not just good but greatevery day. I don't have an argument
(02:03:59):
with that. Think of Doka.You can talk me into a Dooka in
the top five or six, nodoubt. Absolutely. Did you say chafing
or shaping chafing chafe dye at Terrencesaid, good, good on you helping
people out, man, I lovethat. Good to hear. Let's let's
(02:04:20):
talk to Roger. Roger, Roger, I was mad a moist during swamp
season too. Yeah. No,no, no moist talk on this show.
Okay, okay, oh my god. Anyway, so you guys talking
(02:04:45):
about moist influential sports figures moving forwardfrom today right now, who's done something
in the past, how important theyare to the city, to the team,
to winning a championship, to everythingthat's involved with moving forward. Damn,
Roger, you got there. Yeah, man, We're working fast.
Stay no swamp land over here,get done some damn hard work, hard

mcinvale, Uh with uh, thethe owners of the Texans, the McNair's,
the mcnaires, And then you gowith sports figureheads. Just go with
(02:05:34):

he's so you think for the futureof success, real quick, Roger,
the future of success and moving forwardand everything that the most important player to
(02:05:58):
the Astros organization and moving forward ishow over your right now? Right now?
It's it's it's it's closed. Butthe reason why I say it because
he stand the test of time.He's still good and he still breathed that
influence. Man, They're going fora reason, many for a reason.
(02:06:21):
Okay, So anyway, yeah,man, and uh and this uh the
electrical thing, Man, I don'tknow. I don't want to be get
off by long guy or conspiracy.I never wanted to be that but man,
I just feel like this wasn't reallya big, big disaster to you
know, all the lights and everythingwent on after the wind and after the
rain passed, and then an hourlater then the power goes out. I'm
(02:06:44):
not I'm not sure what that's about. I just don't think two million people
should do without power over some winding. Yeah, some wind and from rain.
It was. It was definitely astorm, But man, I just
feel like we've been through it beforeand nothing like this kind of happened.
But anyway, that's just my takeon it. Fellas YouTube Roger, thank
you, appreciating Roger, Roger,Roger Roger. Do you think he's got
(02:07:04):

jord On Houston, Cougar's basketball,Kelvin Sampson, and I had those four
in mind as well. And thenand then last but not least, that
(02:08:09):
that coach for the Texans Ryans,because he's gonna get Stroud ready for those
defensive coordinators coming and coming at him. But then Seohn I also wanted to
clarify something. I only hit oneoff the first te on the third Yeah,
hit down the left side of thefair away and stuff at the eight
feet. I didn't make the putt. Well, one off, you know
what. One off the You knowhow I feel about one off the tee?

hours smart ass on your smart speaker, Google play Seawan Salisbury on iHeartRadio.
You say, do you hear mycut? Did you tell people you hear
(02:10:48):
the new cut we dropped? Yeah, yeah, exactly, That's exactly what
I would say. Hey, youwant to hear some good lyrics? Listen
to me in the background. Yeah, yeah, that was me what you
said, man, no doubt?Yeah, seven seven nine in the number
to joint still run along with thistopic about uh, top five not best
(02:11:11):
players in the sport the most fromnow and moving forward to move the city,
the teams, their careers, themost impactful moving forward guys in the
sports that aren't broadcasters or bringing SuperBowls that are actually involved with the teams.
Makes sense, yessoutely. Hell andif you want to include it,
(02:11:31):
because you know, uh, Ithink Rogers said mattress Smack right, he
did. Yeah, And so whenyou think about mattress Smack though, it's
not you know, it's all therescue and gallery furniture and his sponsorships and
all that, but it's also hisinvolvement with the universities nil that collective,
which is one of the big reasonswhy the University of Houston's moving forward with
(02:11:54):
THEIRS is the commitment to that.And we know Mattressmack's commitment that for you
know, players in schools in thistown. Yeah. Yeah, interesting for
him, it really is. It'stalked thet influential for sure to move this
forward, no doubt. Yeah,let's talk to Holly Holly, good morning,
Good morning, guys. I agreewith most of everybody you guys have
(02:12:15):
said. Of course, I thinkthe McNair's go on the top of the
list because they're kind of kind offunny for USh in news, especially her.
I kind of like her, andthen CJ and Crane and Jordan.
But I think one person we're forgetting. She's going to put the Uston on
the map in a couple of weeksand that's missed Simon Bile. She's from
Spring and she's one of the greatest, not only in the past, but
I think moving forward. Of courseit will probably be her last hurra here
(02:12:37):
at the Olympics, but I thinkyou got to inque her in the conversation.
Yeah, and Holly, you makea great point about what she's meant
to this city and to gymnastics.One of the greats, you can argue,
as good as we've ever had.But that's why I'll ask, five
years from now, will that impactbe as big as a C J.
Stout? Well? Why, whynow, moving forward would you still include
(02:13:01):
her? Well, that's wrong.I'm just curious of of do you do
you the last raw at the Olympics, but just moving gymnastics and young women
in the example for it, orwhat's your main reasoning for future why you
would continue to include her. Well, there's a couple of things. First
of all, she pulled herself outof the last Olympics because she recognized her
mental health problems. Right. Ithink that brought a lot of attention to
(02:13:26):
that area. And I know alot of little girls, especially my four
nieces included, they're in gymnastics justbecause of Miss the Moon. It's a
hell of a point. It's ahell of a point. And so I
think she's bringing in a lot ofyoung girls. Who thinks, you know,
she flies twelve feet in the air? Man, can I do that
one day? And so just justwanted to sprinkle her name in the in
(02:13:48):
the conversation. I appreciate you,appreciate you guys, and I hope you
get some power back today. Thankyou all much. Holly. That is
a great point and one thing weall talk about on the field and all
that stuff, but the influence she'llhave on mental health and has had.
But also on the one thing aboutit is fifteen years from now you're still
going to be talking about. That'swhy the influence in the future about some
(02:14:09):
four year old that was influenced byyeah small no, no, no doubt
about it. That's a and andI think we lose sight of the fact
that in the individual part of it, right, because it's not a it
is team sport on the Olympics,and it's built team. But we look
at Simone Biles as her own entitybecause as good as we've ever had,
she's going to be one of themost decorated and has a chance to be
the most decorated of all time.Well gymnast. I think she is.
(02:14:33):
She already, of course, Katiedecla DECKI is. I think has a
chance to be the most decorated femaleof all time after these Olympics. But
Michael Phelps is the male, rightyeah, I think so, yeah,
I think it's Phelps. I don'thave it either, so I but she
makes a great point thinking outside thebox. It's not really outside the box
thinking actually, if you're going withthe individual stuff, Simone biles impact has
(02:14:56):
been and not just has been we'relooking for, has been impactful, but
forward moving. She is a lotof young girls are going to be involved
in gymnat and think about what gymnastshave had to overcome with the controversy that
they are still fighting through in themental health part of that. Not saying
Simone Biles part of that, youknow, with the universities and all the
(02:15:18):
sick controversy that's gone on with someof the coaches in the past. Right,
not in her life, but inthat you know the guy's name I'm
talking about, right, man,you know who I'm talking about affiliated with
the Women's Olympics. I mean women'sgymnastics. There you go. And but
she in indirect ways they have tooverkind of some in some cases some have
(02:15:39):
had to overcome it in direct ways. But for her to be that influential
and knowing that there's been a partof this that has been negatively looked at,
not her, but with women's gymnastics, right, Yeah, that's that
is a great, great point byHolly when talking about even still moving forward
and she is this will be herlast Olympics. Yeah, and let's hope
(02:16:01):
it goes well for but her impactwill be felt long and hard moving forward
when it comes to, you know, make an impact on the mental health,
which is hard on a lot ofpeople. Yeah, no question about
it. Let's get the break andwe'll continue the discuss. Let's get back

thing and that's it all I do. You guys are discussing. I said,
good morning, Cameron, and Iwas wondering. I was wondering if

plans. I can. I'll bethere like Friday after work. Aha,
(02:21:24):
I got great plans for us.Well, can I surprise you? I'd

opening up the phone call with Race. Yeah, Tripley said, I'm with
(02:21:52):
you. I came at it likeyou would like your mom, and right
did not Race. So you knowwho's not getting invited to the dinner table.
You. I'm going to Triple's houseand all of a sudden to the
cookout and you're not going? WhatThanksgiving? You're not going? Because I
said TRIPLEY might sometimes open up thephone phone call with like what up,
bitch, Yeah, that's mom mymom's listeners when he said that's my that's
(02:22:16):
this morning, to say that's myson, says, says, says,
my son doesn't talk to women likethat. If you talk to women like
that, so exactly, Yeah,I was raised by my mama and my
grandmother. Oh gos so your grandmaprobably whooped your ass for your mom.
Huh of course. Yeah. Seethe same like when we would go to
uh Maine for our lake house andmade my grandma would whoop our They would,
(02:22:41):
our grandmother would whoop our ass beforeour parents would. When your parents
wouldn't say a word about it,Oh they wouldn't, No man, anyways,
that's how that's how Triple definitely doesnot talk. Thrown out no wonder
you wanted to be TRIPLEY and thenI swiched I come out at nice and
you said, well let me youthen nasty man. God can't even call
(02:23:03):
up and be nice? You know, but zoid band with it. When
you're single with Triple E Hicks,be tripping dog chicks, be tripping dog.
What happened to you? Man?That's got to be racist on me
like five times. But you gotto say like this for a basic chip,
chicks be tripping dog, Yes,chicks be tripping dog? Yes dog
(02:23:28):
exactly, that would be you,right man. I think triple you respect
ladies a little more than than callinghim up and was a zoid bitch on
him right away. So what doyou think he's trip? Say? I
think you call him say good morning, I hope you're doing well. How
are you doing to hey? Goodmorning beautiful. I don't know now when
it's a zoid. You don't dresslike that. You can't no, no,
(02:23:52):
he said, zoid I did.You can't let him. You can't
fall in love with him on thefirst phone call. No, you can't.
You got you that create You gotto create some respectful space. Matter
of fact, you can't call herbabe the first time you meet her because
she should be feel disrespected. Youknow what I'm saying. It's got to
be just a conversation, right,buddy up and then we'll see what happened.
Yeah, one hundred and fifty dollarsan hour, right the gosh,
(02:24:18):
I see I bet dominic can getin on this conversation, dominic, what's
happening? You guys have made mymorning. I got it. I gotta
say I found three you know thoseyou got you guys remember those really big
fat batteries that you used to putin the back of your radio back in
the day in the eighties and thingsto make it play. I have no
(02:24:39):
power right yet. I moved throughmy home. Yeah, I was grabbing
through my home and I found forreally fat, fat fat batteries. And
I told my daughter, I'm gonnatry to see if this works because I
gotta hear the show, Salisbury show, and god damnit it. Excuse me,
sir. Yeah, you guys thatmade me smile from cheap the cheap
(02:25:03):
with this conversation some system normal styafter what's been going on with the weather.
But to the to the to thetop, to the top five,
well the in my opinion, overthe next five years, Uh, of
course it's gonna be CJ because footballwas king in the city, in this
state, pretty much in this country. I believe a lot of Houstonians betrayed
(02:25:26):
in one of the one of theAstros World Series titles for for Super Bowl
easily so in my opinion over thenext five years, looking to it in
the next decade. Uh, He'she's number one. Uh. Jim Crane,
in my opinion, is number twobecause he writes the checks for the
Astros, and out of nowhere we'vebecome a baseball city, a very knowledgeable
(02:25:46):
baseball city. So CJ number one. Jim Crane number two because if he
chooses not to sign Tucker, ifhe chooses not to go after a big
time free agent, and again,you know where are we going to be?
Because we you know he he it'sa shot call in that department,
ye did? I would say doctorCouture the president of the University of Houston,
along with coach Kelvin Sampson. Ibelieve those those two people are one
(02:26:11):
A and one B. I believethey are tied to the hip. I
will not at all be surprised toone day see kell the Sampson in some
type of advisory or leadership role inthe front office as far as running the
university's athletic department. And I saythat because coach Sampson is the big opicion.
He's a perfect leader. He's aperfect leader of men and women.
I could see him when the suntakes over as a basketball coach, that
(02:26:33):
you move him right to a pointwhere he's like nowadays, it's not just
the ad they have like president ofoperations right universities. Wouldn't that be a
perfect role for him because his influenceoutside of just teaching you on the court,
he's as influential in my mind withathletes as anybody in this city period.
And I'm with you one nd percent, Yeah, exactly, because he's
(02:26:54):
see past the heartwood of the courtthat does the support that he coaches.
Again, my institution, we letgo of a very very well liked UH
athletic director because we Kelvi Assampson seesthe future. We need to donate more,
more funds more n il So,I believe doctor Couture and coach Kelvin
Sampsons they're tied to the hip.So again the C. J. Stridd
(02:27:16):
number one in my opinion, JimCrane because he's the he's the check writer
and he makes things happen for theAstros and along with the president and the
basketball coach in the University of Houston, then it goes down honestly and truly
is the Rockets. It's this,It's the Rockets. There's two people with
the Rockets UH number the fourth.The fourth person would be Jalen Green.
(02:27:37):
If it takes off this year,then of course you're gonna start. You're
gonna signing Shingoon. But then youalso got your Batman and Robin combination.
So this is a very very veryhuge year for Jayalen Green, and I
hope the young man he does whathe showed a lot of part of last
year also elevated right well, Kilvinfor Tita, and I say that because
(02:27:58):
Timmer Tita and I believe wants totake the Houston sports landscape and the strategy.
He wants a National Hockey League teamhere. He is trying to bring
the Houston comments back. So ifhe's able to get both of those two
big time UH sports back inside thecity, well the NHL for the first
time, not counting the Arrows orwhatnot, But if Tim and Fatima is
(02:28:22):
able to bring another professional or acouple more professional UH sports to the city
over the next five years, whichis not out of the realm of possibility.
If you ask me, if theTexas is gonna win a Super Bowl
with CJ nashows are gonna win anotheranother world championship. If the University of
Houston is gonna he's gonna take offand do what I want them to do
with the Rockets are gonna do whatI what we all like them to do.
(02:28:43):
I'm gonna put my money on tillFatita because that man moves quietly and
he gets stuff done. And whenhe gets stuff done, it's like,
whoa where did this come from?So I just I think CJ. I
think uh, Jim Pray, Ithink the University of Houston as a whole.
I think living and also thank youguys have a good thing. Appreciated
(02:29:03):
great stuff. Thank you very much, dominate great stuff. Yeah, I
don't how are you going to arguethe list? I don't think you can.
And Crane, I understand why heleft, like Jordan and that group
off because if Jim Crane decides Jordangot paid and he's gonna get Jordan's in
line for another huge one when thetime comes. You and I both know
that at this ascent. But Ithink Jim Crane, his decisions on what
(02:29:24):
we're gonna do in the future moneywise dictate because there's no salary cap.
The NFL is sary cap is gonnadictate what you do right, And at
some point in time, the NFLis gonna have a salary cap just for
the quarterback. You're gonna that's he'sgonna be omitted from the normal salary cap
because you can't keep on this ascent. So that's gonna take that out of
play. And man, it isa time when this team did their their
(02:29:48):
click away from really being in contentionin for Sports Nash And we'll see what
Willie Fritz says with football, whichis a tough task, right, I
mean considering the Big twelve. Buthe's had success where he's been. But
Udoka Quantum leaps, the Astros arealready there. Texans Quantum leaps with one
of the best young five top fivequarterbacks in the league period, not just
(02:30:09):
young. And then you obviously havewhat the Rockets. We already mentioned Udoka,
but with Kelvin Sampson's group and whatthey're doing at the University of Houston
that they are so close to anational title. Yeah, they're so close.
Yes, all right, let's endthe show. Uh, talk some
Astros. Let's see if they're goingto actually play some baseball to night over
at mine A Park. That's nextright here on Sportslock seven and eight.
(02:30:31):
