Astros Beat Mariners, Rockets Vs. Clippers Preview, Dana Brown's Weekly Segment!

what a novel concept. Steven Okert in the twelfth inning works a scoreless frame, getting a couple of strikeouts in the ball game.

back times. He's gone at least two of the last three or four days where he's gone two innings where he's had to give you a couple of them and then to be resilient enough on the road to take care of their business and get the clutch hit and double plays a pitcher's best friend. So it was nice and bullpen did their job and here we are and you don't want to overwork them. But from Or got you six, and it's here worship when a guy gets you six in Major league baseball, So good on him.

He looked again like a guy who should be at the front of the rotation.

beat by you beating me. I'm not going to beat myself here and try to nibble on corners and do all these things. That's a guy sean that the moment's not too big for him. He's ready to go. And I mean the other day, I understand, you know it was a game that was completely away from you, but he gives you three very quality innings out of the bullpen. I mean, it seems like he's a guy that the phone rings, he goes out there, he gets the job done. And uh oh, by the way, this seventh inning last night,

if Joe A. Spotta could have a do over. Let me tell you who I'm putting in there for quote unquote right handed on right handed matchups.

him in? Watch him where? I mean it, he's not locked in and we're trying to figure out in seventh any who's that guy going to be on a regular basis? And you know who eight and nine are and well yesterday it was eight, nine, ten, eleven. Got to get to twelve and take care of it. So, but Gusto gets a win, it won't be his last one. But whether it's Bullpen or some time when he's you know, a guy in your starting rotation whenever that is the bottom line is that he doesn't care about the role

and he's taking care of his business. And all the way from spring to now, every single time his name has come up, there's never been yeah but behind it. And so when it comes from the experts it comes, but talk talk talk about the performance. Okay, spring training. Everybody wants to know the guy comes right in here and is doing his thing. So I would imagine for Joe a spot of the versatility of him and the ability to doesn't matter, go do it and then perform it.

It's hard to find a lot of times early in the season for some, but he is. He is performing at a time when they're going to need him all year long. Considering and you know, as you do well, you may be here and it may be somewhere in the seventh and maybe starting it, maybe winning a game later on in a game, and you know, you didn't know when your performance was gonna come or when your

opportunity was gonna come again. But the guy has just been spectacular at least early in the season and came that way regard as spring training.

ball game. Let him work it out when you're up five to you know, five to two against somebody at that spot.

already looking for a seventh inning guy. After the performance he gave last year was pretty impressive. So I understand what have you done for me lately? League, But I do so I know this from a distance. We have

a different opinion on certain things. But once again, when guys are there every day, like Joe A spotts, seeing, listening, hearing, watching bullpen sessions, watching mechanics on the mount, and listening to Dow he reacts when he comes in the deck out, all those things that go on with with a manager understanding, I would think they got a pretty good idea of we still like this guy, this is not who he is, or the struggles he'll pitch through him, that they trust

him to do it. I just don't think you can crap can anybody who struggles early. We don't do it to a hitter, and why would we do it to a pitcher, especially somebody that they obviously believe in it at times? Last year bail jass out and was outstanding. So I get it, and I understand the search, But when better to build? You an't build anybody's confidence putting him in a five to one game and he gets two out so groundball, strike out in another out, that's

not confidence because that's supposed to happen. I kind of do agree that let's throw him in there and see, because if we can't find out who he is to us now, how we gonna know later when it really even matters, we can overcome Game twelve or whatever it is In the beginning of the season, can't overcome the last twelve when he's going through a losing streak at three. There is a method to the madness about getting somebody back into and we've seen it with relievers that shifts

on a dime. Those guys one day, I mean, they're the reliever's mind is like my OCD. It's like one day that. I mean, they're trying to lock in every day and one bat or two bad or before he could be a good pitch guy hits the line drive away on an out on of pitch that's outside the strike zone, and we come with he blew the save. And a guy went and chased a pitch and smoked it the right field and put the bat on it and drives in a run and beats a pitcher. I mean,

it happens. And so I think we're way too early to stop the Scott train and have him get off. But I understand the reality of well, you put him in a game like that, but if you the confidence in the game, that's the point that I'm making. He's telling you why he put him in Bloom when Blood was a blum who said it. He's telling him why Obviously, why he believes this is because the confidence and the timing he put him in is literally too there's a

collateral damage, either good or bad. There's an effect that pushes forward for Scott in this because if he goes and does his thing and it's like okay, under duress in a high leverage situation needed him and he pulled through. And truth is, if they put a quarterback in a game when you're up four touchdowns in the fourth quarter and you throw a touchdown pass and you win by five touchdowns, I don't think my confidence has risen because

the game was done. But in these situations, when it's high leverage, that's how you gain it because then you go back to trusting yourself. So I think there's a method to the madness. Hopefully we won't be having this conversation in June, but if we are, then by that time somebody else will be in that role. But I do get early on and fiercely loyal. Has been a spot of Dusty Baker was the same way, and then

there are certain guys when they don't like him. I think it was Dusty wasn't a big standic fan, right, I mean, I think he's Yeah, I'm talking about at least the way it appeared by appearances in certain situations. Right, that's what people's perception, whether it's true or not. It doesn't. And you know, Dusty had guys he did love, right, saying we all do and that you trust or that you believe are going to pay dividends for you if you show them early. On the psychology of it and

the psychological part of it. I think Joe A. Spot probably understands what his player needs a little more than we do from a distance. But I do get the frustration. But it's called frustration and relief pictures. It's redundant. You're always going to be frustrated or uptight about him because it's part of the job. And I think that's it. I think we're too early to, uh say, Scott's a guy in the fifth inning and we got to maybe move him around. I think we're way too early for that.

so who are you more worried about right now? You just said it with your thing? Who do you trust more? The other two guys are Scott right now?

third base in the minor leagues. You see the energy last night and why they put him in and I'd like to see him play every day. Boom turns a double into a triple just by flat out hustling taking care of his business. So it's the same thing here, you answer, why aren't they? We don't need to reward it. This isn't Junior high an American society and people the suburbs of Let's reward a guy because he did his job one day or two days, or it's twelve games in.

Just as quick as I ain't putting Ryan Gusto in the Hall of Fame, I'm not sending Scott to the minor leagues and saying you're no good. I think the confidence factor is important. So to answer your question as to why, well, what good would it be if you've got a guy who's confident? Just keep giving him. The one guy who obviously appears from a vantage point that need that confidence to get back going to see who you are? Is Scott right now? And so why wouldn't

you put him in those situations? I got an news for if he blows five leverage situations in a row, he won't be pitching in that situation. The performance is going to dictate it, not us, you know, standing from here, in a radio show or Twitter telling us I get him out because he's had some struggles. And I do believe there's a method of the madness. And I also believe, having been coached and coached both, there comes a point in time when things are going good, kick a guy

in the ass. When things are going bad, put your arm around him, and maybe the guy needs one performance. But why do we want why do we let players get players get away with oh it's early, but pitchers, we don't want to let him get away with oh it's early. I think it's way too early to pull the plug on him. He did too much for this ball club last year. He should get an opportunity to play through it, especially now.

three two one two five seven ninety. The number to get in on the phone lines seveone three two one two five seven ninety. So we're just getting going here on the Sean Salisbury Show on a Wednesday.

is attention to detail. He'll treat your eyes like he'd treat his own families or his own eyes, and he'll walk you through all the steps of lasik and the post I care. It's non invasive. I wasn't on the table ten minutes and seeing better than I had since the prime of my vision. So for me, there's nobody better.

It's doctor Jeff Witzet at Witst vision dot com. Again, w h I T S E T T. When you're looking for your eyes and they are precious, you want an expert, right, You don't want to leave anything to chance, and you won't chance anything but success with doctor Jeff witzt It's Witsitvision dot Com. Wits It Vision dot Com. That's wits it Vision dot Com.

spent whatever. It might be permission to throw some flowers at at Dana Brown for the job that he's done, because I don't think enough people have done that, because I mean, you know, last year, you spend the money on Josh Hater and at the time it's not looking good, it's looking like, hey, we spent the wrong money here

yet again. And this is a guy who is not what he was in Milwaukee or in San Diego this year, Where would you be without Josh Hater And especially last night an eleven pitch first inning of his outing and then he's equally as efficient in the second inning of it. You had in Brendan Rodgers, you had in Steven Okert. I mean, look, I know I just talked about Taylor Scott, but a guy like Taylor Scott sean this team is winning because of things being done on the fly by Dana Brown.

is going to benefit Toronto. It just will. But in the short term, if youre going to sign him again what they needed last year for the timing of it was a great move and when it first was made, we all kind of looked at he is that too? Much to give up. It turned out that it would have been nice to re sign Kakuchi, but it just I mean that happened quickly into free agency as well.

So I think Dana Brown's been outstanding. No matter what you do here, even though you're the guy after the guy that Jeff Luno is always going to be the measuring stick for people who get the GM job. Even if you do well, you can go to Indianapolis and play quarterback after Peyton Manning go to eight Pro Bowls, You're never going to be Peyton Manning. It's the same

thing here and maybe Dana Brown will. But the hang up with a J. Hinch and Jeff Luno here and I understand why is they're just it's like the people's love for Juli Guriel Christian Walker at forty this year, it's still well, should we bring Ulie back? I mean, you'll still get that, and I understand it. So you can't win for losing. No matter what Dana Brown does, it's gonna be compared to Luno. And oh and one move like a Montero who the contract was not a

Dana Brown contract. If we recall that, if there's a move like that or getting rid of Kyle Tucker. Now he's a National League Player of the Week. Well, is it gonna work? Wesnsky's gonna be good, Paradius is doing his job, and Cam Smith looks to be like he's gonna be a star in the league. It's gonna take time. You don't judge them like an NFL draft the next year. You judge it two, three, four years down the road. So I think Dana Brown's made some fantastic moves. Not

all of them are gonna work. And they don't all work in LA. They don't all work in New York, they don't all work in Philly. They don't all work. Okay, but uh, I tease a hell of a talent evaluator. And I know see what happens when they go on and say read the back of the baseball card. People judge like some of the decisions by the fact it, Hey, it's a long season. But he said, it's a long season. But the last two years, and you know what, when they struggled, they've come back out of it and been

right there to win a division. So he's right, we get more impatient. He's got to stay the course. We don't have to because we're media and we're fans every day. He can't just all of a sudden after three days say you know what a mistake that was. You got to let it play out. They realize that Montero no longer is bringing what they thought they were going to get, and you move him. So and there's some small I mean, Christian walkermaned it being a monster move in this offseason.

So yes, but it's a thankless job. It's a thankless job. People still aren't over David Cully when it comes to Nick Cassario, and now he's got the right coach. Sometimes you got to sludge through some stuff to get to the guy who's going to lead your your building, or your team or your business. So I don't I just when when people are critical, guy strikes out and it's

Danon Brown's fault. I mean, now, if you brought in a hack, and you know, I think that like when you kept to bray you too long, and there's circumstances to go with it, kept to bray you too long, you know, it falls on Dana Brown. When Dana wasn't the one who brought him in the first place, if you recall, wasn't that the Jeff bagwell so and so it doesn't really matter. It's just that they just heap it on him. But it's you know, sometimes when a guy struggles, I get it, you make moves or you

miss out on moves. A lot of times it's things you didn't do that people wish you would have gone out and done. Get a center fielder when you know, after all these years and we need another outfield or getting what are we going to do for power? Why is aut two big playing left? But some of them are not just Dana Brown decisions. They are also you know, Joe A. Spotta and Jim Crane decisions. So when it comes to the big money, that's not a Dana Brown

decision to keep Kyle Tucker. Sure they wanted Kyle Tucker. When it comes to where the money's going to end up being, it was just priced out here in Houston. So I think he's done more good than he has mistakes. You're going to make him along the way. I think Danta Brown deserves a ton of credit and has done a hell of a job as a GM, especially in his first time role as being a GM. You said Joe A.

I don't think this is going to work out. I really truly believe that's what you would have heard.

now the struggles are we okay? Are we now looking at him and saying, what a horrible decision by Dana Brown to keep yanar Ds instead of Corey Lee? Are we there because he struggled in the first dozen games of the season after what he did in a full body of work last ye some would say, right now, yeah, well it's wrong because it goes. If that's the case, Bregman would have been cut twenty seven times as an astro.

They would have dfaate him twenty because if you just go, let's let's judge Bregman by April, not in Fenway now this year he's out of his mind. But here we would have said, oh, it's time to move on to guy's a bust. And then you wait and then all of a sudden May hits, and then June hits, and you got a guy who does all he does, so it's it'd be silly. So right now you're saying, man, the Corey leeuld be great or somebody, I'm sure there's some bring Maldy back, Okay, but y or start Victor

Krottini every day that's coming. That's already there, show that that's common. So is Dana Brown. Are we saying it was a blown decision by Dana Brown to move Corey Lee and make Yaner d as a future No. Last year, everybody in this town was saying this is a cleanup hitter of your five hitter is going to be an All Star for eight years, ten years. That that's what people were saying. So well, it's i'll use their term, it's early.

overall trying to keep this thing competitive. I really just cannot understand the people who are against the job that Dana Brown has done because I think most of the moves he's made, like Steven Okert last night, see somebody on Twitter, what a fined by Dana Brown.

of the best opportunity to compete and the players. But it's not all every single day going to look like we'd like it to look, and it didn't look every day like he'd like it to look. But it's part of building culture and building the team. And hence the one hundred and sixty two game schedule. So if we played twelve twenty seven games, be concerned about yan or d Is and some of the other things. We don't

play twenty seven games. So I think I think Dana Brown's proven that the general manager job that was given him was right and when it given him, that he earned. But it was given to him as opposed to anybody else that interviewed for it, and I think it's going to pay dividends for them. Remember, he does have a ceiling on where he's allowed to go, not with his

talent or his ability. The ceiling is you can be great if even with Jordan, Let's say next contract comes up and it's people are talking the big, big, big money. There's a chance he'll be playing somewhere else. You do know this, Uh huh, So how's that, Dan Bright? If there's a certain limit where you got to go, you know, oh, here's this Now all of a sudden you that there's there's this money and now we get to another level where this is rarefied. You get to you have to

prove with the guy who signs him. And so there is a limit on Oh you just it's not the Dodgers where they've opened it up and they've opened the skies and said do you spend as much money as you want, but you better win a championship. Here. It's to a point, but then that limit stops, and you better find some talent underneath the three hundred and forty fifty million dollars a year. Guy. And they've been fortunate to do it for quite some time, Yes, they have worth noting.

at the Masters. People, of course never know. You never know when it's going to be Zach Johnson or Mike Weir. I never you never know, No, you don't. And as a matter of fact, a couple of hours from now, we're going to do our picks five apiece, right now, what you told me?

a chance. But until you win, you don't get to pick first. You smell that, Yeah, do you smell that? You mean the fact that, yeah, burnt rubber, you're getting your ass kicked and left in the dust.

see you working there. I see, I see what you liked about this guy. And then last night you get fromber being fromber where we expect him to go out there and get ground ball outs and be able to get you a quality outing. And then today you get Hunter Brown. But I mean for some of the other guys in the ball I mean numerous chances last night.

And oh, by the way too, I had even texted Blummer after a couple of plays and Ed said, I mean, seriously, do the Mariners have lucky rabbits foots like just you know, on them on their person at all times, because some of these plays they're making defensively, it is so many. Look what I found plays that you're just like, come on, man, it's called preparing.

But they can pitch, they do play defense, and last year some superstar bats let them down and they went through it, and they helped the Astros on their road because they when they were twelve and twenty four and then in the middle of the season they went through some struggles that allowed the Astros to chase them down. With Astros good baseball. So yeah, they're making some good decisions. And right now, I'll tell you this, at some point

in time, they are going to hit consistently. They just will. But anytime you can go literally steal one and extra innings on the road using a bunch of bullpen guys and getting six innings out of your starter with eight strikeouts and giving up, you know what, a couple hits, that's a good thing. I'd far more worry even though the strength of this team, in my mind is pitching. I would worry far more if we were into this season right now, record different, you know, a few more losses.

I'd feel far different if it was our starting pitching can't get out of the third or fourth inning. That would start to bother me. And then you start be why because then the collateral effect and damage of happen to tax a bullpen early and then move on to the next Normally, pitchers are ahead of hitting normally at this time, at this point in time, they just are. Now you don't go. Pitchers are little head hitters are still feeling their way out first time through during a season,

and then the pitcher's settling. So I'd worry far more. I know that there's changes in Kyle Tucker and Bregman are gone and all that, but they've got some professionals on this team that have proven in their past here and elsewhere they can hit. You should be excited because the guy in centerfield is actually putting the bat on the ball, which tells me that's got to be a good omen. If he's hitting well, it can't be that he hits two sixty five and nobody else hits two fifty.

Al Tuovey's raking at the top in a new position for the most part, not at the top, but you know it's not affecting whatever's going on when he plays in left field. He's still raking. Jordan's long ball hasn't started to come up, but it will. I told you a million times not worried about him. You're starting to see some guys get going. Rogers will get going. He's been a really good hitter in his career, whether it's

at Colorado or night. You still got to put the bat And nothing about the air in Colorado that puts the barrel of the bat on the ball. Okay, more space to hit it, but you still got to put the barrel of the bat on it, or wherever it is that you get your singles and doubles and hits from. So I am honestly, and there's no way Yina and Paena hit like this the rest of the year. There's

no friggin way. And they're sacking there. They're surviving with good pitching and getting some clutch wins that come from behind and then you know, doing their thing and then having to you know, then get and beat and then having to come from you know, take care of their business in another low scoring game. So pitching is thriving. The hitting. There's no way Diaz Painia and even with Jordon's lack of power right now, I can't imagine that we're having this same conversation at the end of this

month or sometime in the middle of May. So surviving and sometimes you got to survive stints where like, what's the hell's going on with our other guys Florida in the National Championship game, What's the hell's going on with Clayton can't get a shot off? And they still hang around the are doing their thing, and the big boppers haven't got started yet. So I believe hitting will come right now. God forbid that it's runners in scoring positions a problem at the midway point of the season, and

we're still having that conversation. But I don't think we'll be having the same conversation we're having now or that we had last year at that time about why are so many runners stranded? At some point in time, your big boppers are going to get hot, stay healthy pitching, stay in these games that you're not exploding, and then when you do explode, then it's then then you get a little bit of relief because the bullpen doesn't get taxed.

but I am a bunting guy when it matters. I don't care if it's you walk a guy you, but I got to move people over. With first base open, you got to or your first get him to second so he's in scoring position. Second, get him to third. Every now and again, that's just good smart baseball. Something that Joe A. Spota seems to understand. Small ball at a couple of games in a row, and it's worked for you. Well, it's it's a novel concept, a concept.

Put the ball in play and do something smart with the bat and the baseball and a runner and eventually it ends up leading to, you know, a smart move. So there's a time and a place, and the time and the place is the manager will decided, but it's worked for them to perfection the last couple of days.

We decided to draw the line at delineation where once it gets to this year, not allowed to bunt anymore past twenty and twenty two thousand and fifteen. Yeah, yeah, we actually are. You swing through it and miss my guy ain't moving. Put the ball down. At least when it's in play. There's action and a bunt every now and again has its moments and its place often, but when it does and you execute it, it's a beautiful thing. Takes you back to when people played in nineteen seventies

and eighties and actually made livings doing that. Guys stayed in the league because they could butt once in a while. It works. Yeah, it worked for Brett Butler. Then he took a wolf of ball off the midsections. Damn right. It works, and it'll get you a lot of opportunities used in the right situation with the right people.

possibly three million dollars cash instantly. It's Texas Lottery dot Com. Texas Lottery dot Com.

need to deal prospects, and they've done that. But I just hope that they don't if they're not going to sign their free agents and they need to keep their prospects, I don't want to see them hemorrhaging out of both ends of the body, you know. So, I mean, I wish we could have kept Kakuchi. The real concern with the Astros that I'm having now is we can't stop guys from stealing bases against us. And I don't blame Yiner.

It's the pitching staff. I don't know. You know, they don't have the kinds of pictures that can hold base runners on. And I know you can't throw the first one hundred and fifty times and at bat like you used to be able to. But it's gonna hurt them. It's gonna really hurt them, particularly if they don't start scoring runs themselves.

my somebody sent me a message. I'll always try to respond. But I mean, I don't know what the bashing of Dana Brown would be right now. But they kept Cam Smith Cam Smith's gonna be a player. You got to let him do this thing. I just to me, and so maybe I'm I hear it, we all hear it. But I'm talking about where it's like he's the reason they're not hitting. That's not true. So if that's if

that's where this is going. But number two is yes, the inability to stop people from taking basis is a problem. And if they don't hit, you're gonna put way too much stress on a pitching staff because the expectations. You can't. You guys aren't going six and two thirds all five They're just not going to do it. There's one million of rotation in a five game start and another may g it to five and two thirds, but you're not gonna get three guys going six and two thirds or

seven back to back to back. It just doesn't happen. So and that's why all the specialists in the bullpen. So at some point in time, it's gonna have to the one's gonna have to carry the other. I mean, even though pitching has been dynamite for the last couple of years, even with injuries, they hung in there with Blanco and the way they pitched that in Scott coming out of the bullpen. They're going to have to hit.

And it is early, but it is a concern. But I can't imagine, like I said, that your best hitters are gonna well, they've done it too many times to wallow down there now. Over a full season, we'll see injuries come into play. But what you're seeing now is not going to be a consistent run production for the Astros. It'd be almost impossible for them to stay there.

My gut is that there was a certain ceiling on that, and so the whole Dana Brown there's only a certain place he can go. And I'm now now that I see it in the energy, I'm not sure Alex Redman wanted to be here. I'm not sure Alex Redman wanted to I mean maybe he did. And when we say and of course he did, well, he's got rejuvenated energy and he's playing out of his mind right now. So say what we want at a buck fifty? What it was?

I don't think they got their offer up to one seventy one seventy five, because why do I think Dana Brown would have liked to keep him? I absolutely do. Matter of fact, he said on this show, I said, who's the guy that has to make this go? And this was when they were floundering around last year and just started going. He goes with, I mean, I didn't get to finish my sentence, and he said, Alex Bregman, And you want that guy to get out of town for a buck sixty? I doubt it. But Alex was

never taken a one sixty here. He would have loved to stay here for two ten, but it was easy to go somewhere else when he got what he wanted. He got good money, He's got all these opt outs, whateveryone wants to do. Watch him. I watched the Red Sox play problem most of the time. Every day. I'll watch minimum of six innings for one hundred and forty five games this year because I got the package and watch them watching yesterday, there's a different Alex Bregman approach

this show. I'm just telling you there is, and I said it the other day yesterday. If this keeps up. When the end of the season comes, he'll be an MVP candidate. We've seen the movie in twenty nineteen. He's still now. I mean it appears he's capable doing. He loves a ballpark and there's something to be said, and there's a rejuvenated energy in him. If you can't see it with a naked eye, you're not paying attention. So

I'm not even sure Bregnan want to be here. So you get to a point, Danny Brown, what are's supposed to do? Beg Borrow cheating steel, Jeff Van Gundy his ankle and if you didn't want to be here and a buck fifty six, they were never gonna let Dana Brown have two hundred million dollars to work with with Alex Bregman. Never and Alex was not coming back here for a buck sixty He could have easily so that discount wasn't coming or that fair salary, and so he

moved on. There's certain things that sometimes as a gentle manager, if you it may be a win in losing. And we'll see over the long term. It's easy. Now we haven't even hit the twenty game mark, and look look at the conversations we're having I understand, and it's good banter. We gotta have good banter. But I got news for you, Jiner Diaz struggle. Isn't Dana Brown's issue. I mean it may become an issue. It ain't Data Brown's gig. He ain't holding the damn bat. Pull your damn self out

of it. That's what it is. But I'm sure Dane is watching him closely because he always hangs around the cage and likes to offer advice without meddling with Joe spot his gig. So it's I know it's early, but the Dana Brown, it's his fault. Listen. Most of the responsibility usually should fall on the guy who's making the on the field decisions and the guy with the bat in his hand and the ball in his hand.

on the sort of with the sea. This is paint and happy now is what we do at curt of Prone and it's expensive. I was a customer first before I became part of this family. It's expensive to own a home and to do it all the way you want. But if you're going to do it right, don't you want to make it look right? And the presentable that has the colors you like that pop and you can

change them and do whatever you want. Those are the things you want to do when you're dealing with curt of Pro and help you pick out the paints the experts in their field, and they do it right, local, timely and exactly what you want. And with spring specialists coming around, you do not want to wait and get that business or that home popping right presentations everything, especially if it's for your eyes, you love it. It's sort of pro painters sort of with the sea sort of

pro painters. That's painting Happy, kd.

of the Week. I'm happy for him, but at the end of the day, I still would have not not made those deals. I don't think we I don't think Bregman was ever gonna get the money that he was asking for from US. I don't think his performance the past three years had dictated it, and I certainly don't think he earned the contract that he got in Boston. I mean, great for him, but I still kind of think in the long run that there's a good chance

Boston's gonna end up regretting that deal. With all the opt outs and the money they're paying him on a three year basis, this is the first year if he keeps us up. This is the first time in three or four years that he's even to sniff an All

Star vote. So I mean, good bye him. That's exciting, but you know, history had also shown it's really not that surprising form over there because if you look at his stats before he went to Boston, his hitting stats in Boston were never bad beginning, middle or end of the season.

they're they don't constantly put his knees at risk. Right, He's gonna have to figure out that adjustment.

much detour the last seven eight years. Now they earned it to get to that point, but detour of other competition. But I'm done about players and the detours they've handled. A player leaves, they've they've been fortunate the next guy stepped up and done his thing, or the overall team has grabbed it and said we'll overcome it, and they have.

Now they're in a I don't even know if it's quite rebuilding, but it's different, different, and they're rebuilding some too because you've got some young players in the next three or four years. The lineup's even going to look different two years from now than it does now, different next year. It's just going to so they there is

some you're taking a detour mentioned the right field. You've got a new third baseman, you got a new second baseman, you got a new first baseman, you got a dh to start off slow, you got a new left fielder, you got a new visual that Jake Myers is hitting. I mean at leads to east two times right, doing some things. So it's different, but doesn't mean it's bad. It's just started slow with the bats. But the growing

pains get in line. They've been through them before, so this should not be any surprise, and you don't have to go through They're not losing one hundred games. They may lose eighty two games, they may lose eighty games, they may lose seventy games. They're not losing one hundred, so you're not getting no more sixty game you know, win seasons or fifty five games you win. They now have an opportunity, but the fans, all of us are going to have to sit there and say, Okay, be

a little more patient. It's going to take the iron or another a little while to get going. Have not to do the back of baseball card has to do with a recent body of work. Guys been pretty good. So yeah, it's this is not going to be perfectly paved road to get to where they want to go this year.

The Rockets are just the Astros. A handful of years later back in when these people were suffering through eight thousand people being in the ballpark and nobody want to show up, that's who the Rocket And now the Rockets having Yeah, when Harden was here in West Westbrook and Crispaul, they won games and they well health they had a three to one lead and one So it's been a

little more recent for them. But over the last few years, when Silas was hearing them growing and all the trades and a new GM, they went through the O, hell, we're not very good three years ago, well two years removed from what twenty two to twenty three wins. Two years removed and we're not even there yet because we're not even at the end of that season. And now here they are forty one last year, already in the fifties this year and the two seed locked up now

they ain't. Nobody had that on their Bengal card playoffs this year. I remember listening to people goals to get to the playoffs be one of those teams just plus they're the two seed now, can't take a sigh of relief, and I'm sure Udoka is not letting them where it's like, oh, okay,

we're the two seed, we're pretty good. The truth of the matter is the odds for them to win an NBA championship by the prognosticators in Vegas, I don't know what they are, but I'll guarantee you they're not even in the top five, even as the two seed in the West.

Now they're at the two seed, and I think they've arrived sooner than we expected, to be honest with you, So now what do you do it?

at eighty four eighty three. Dan was a rookie in eighty three, so I think it was year two in the league. They got beat by the forty nine ers and a Super I think a year two was eighty four is when he threw for like five thousand yards and Marino forty some touchdowns, well ahead of his time. Dan told me years later, he said, Sean, you know what I expected to play, And after that loss, he said not, I hated losing. He's one of the fiercest

competitors I've ever been around in my friggin life. He will cut your heart out, feed it to you on a platter, and smile at you while he's choking you out with his foot. That's Dan. And we had a conversation and he was open with it, and he said, Sean, I thought I'd go to four or five more. Happened so early in his career. He never saw it again, and he did he was still. I mean those kinds of things bug, because if Marino goes and wins the

Super Bowl's people are putting him in Mount Rushmore. The only thing that's keeping him out is the ring because he could throw it better than anybody we've ever had. Right, that guy was awesome, so but that he's still he suffered from me to bothered him, and so these are hard to get to men. So screw when I all there on how screw house money? Just because this is

a young team. What did this team gets split apart and somebody wants to go and all of a sudden, somebody gets an attitude problem and you're right back where he started. Now, we don't want that to have happened, but they are hard to get to, So ain't no house man. They should have the idea that we're going to win that damn thing this year. If they don't, my point is the experience you get from either getting your ass kicked or moving through rounds is immeasurable for

their future one way or the other. And how you deal with it is going to be on Udoka and the maturity of the team. But I'm telling you there's not a solo live that thought they were going to be the two seed when this season started, and you and I both.

of consenting adults doing their own thing. As for the other guy, a guy in Florida, funny enough, you know, it seems like it always happens here. One of the job at a door distributor, and he applied for the job and then tried to get a job interview and they said no. Well then he showed back up with bottles of urine and said, here, why don't you eat these?

would I kind of like both. So when you don't get the job or don't get the interview, that's what we do now, instead of go back to work and try to and apply it four hundred other places, which most of the world had to do.

You get my point. It becomes a cyclical thing, just constant, where oh I didn't get the interview. So let me drive it. Let me throw some pea on you. So what happens at work when he doesn't get the pay raise? What's next? Then drops trow and there on a trash can in the boss's office, or then what's after that? Then the next thing, and before you know it, you have to get rid of him anyway, So save yourself the trouble and don't hire his.

I'm being a good example because when I walk, well that it's going to be the perfect the perfect phrase when they say, oh man, I'm sweating like a like a like a slut in church. Right, So now the salvation, So I now have it. You walk out of your freak you walk out of your freak show, and you're you're were you're you're banging your best friend's girls, brother's husband's friend. And in what in that what a swingers

club is? You're you're you're you're making sorry making love to your friends with your best friend's husband or something. Then you could walk right out of church and go repent everybody. Right, So here's how you look at it. If you're a true, deep, humble, god fearing person, you're the pastor or the church, you say, we welcome everybody. We we welcome in. We don't judge anybody, because if I'm judging the people who are banging each other next door, am I truly God? There's a spirit of the Lord

with me. I mean there's places in this city we don't have zoning. You go elementary school, wine bar, a liquor store, strip club, in a Mexican restaurant, bingo bango bongo right there. You get them all.

open arms. Not well when you say accepted with open arms just with your clothes on, though, But but come on, though, you've been to enough churches to know you're going to say, you've been to enough what you do on your own time, you know, don't judge. Don't judge.

Everybody needs a chaperone. Hey, we all need a mentor. Yeah, okay, So my philosophy is just, you know, love thy neighbor, even if they're banging your husband. I'm just kidding. Look man, yeah, hey, you asked. I'm just telling you my love for the group. Okay, as a god fearing men, and I just I'm not going to judge anybody, you know. Just hey, you're all welcome on Saturday Sunday, come on into my flock. I wanted to be part of my flock. It's good to love.

That great word, a great biblical word, it is, Hey, join my flock. That's it. Do you think that they're but they're probably mad and when they look next to her like I can't believe it. Then they're starting to look at it. Man, I got my own house in order. See your house in order. If you're a Catholic church, you'd have some of the you know, the Catholic ladies spitting on the ground. Disgusting. Yeah, but then you can go in and how many how many do you think you gotta throw?

Good thing, yeah, good leader, but maybe not raking like he'd want him to. But he's catcher, so we're good. So we're at that stress because she's wearing a dress.

Come on, then there you go poise under pressure. But I always wonder, like, when you leave and you're hung on the plane in your new destination, do you feel disrespected because you got traded for a player to be named later It wasn't even worthy of getting you somebody now, Oh, well, I don't know who it's going to be, but it's a player to me much we'll get back to you feel like that's even worse. What'd you trade him for? Well, an apple and a roadmap or a bullet and a cigarette.

What'd you trading for, well, the seventh round pick in twenty thirty, you know what I'm saying. So I'm just wondering if and I mean this joking because I think Montero hopefully it'll he can get back to the reason he got the big money the year before he got the big money here, that he can get back to being that guy in Atlanta. That'd be great for him. Obviously with Dana's relationship there, I'm sure they had some banter over, but the player to be named later almost

feels like we were giving you away. That's almost the way I feel. And in this case because they're taking on salary to correct, yes, they're given cash with my paying for part of it. So with that, that's exactly right. So basically that's what this is. The value. If the player to be a later ends up being an asset for you to use someone else's player, great, but it's almost as if you gave Montero way. And the truth

of the matter is the return wasn't important. Getting clearing way for somebody else was and I and it started off with me joking around like Manna, you got traded for the player to be named later. That almost feels like there wasn't a lot of value placed on that one, was it? And in truth there's not. So hopefully it works out for him, root for anybody that goes on and is still competing, But it was probably it was probably time I got an idea here. It's kind of goofy,

but stick with me. You're going to say something, goofy.

they'll say, you get the mystery box. Oh, so you'll order something from like Grunk Dolfer, Great Clothing, like by the way, just you know, just I digress with Great and we're going there awesome stuff and you go in there and they say, oh, well you get a mystery box. So maybe it comes with a golf hat, another golf shirt or maybe a belt, right, they get your sizes, So the mystery I think that's what we should start.

Whenever there's a player to be named later trade or you're not sure who the next guy is going to be, you got to put him in a thing and they got to choose like straws like we used to do who's hitting first? Or when you're playing ball, who do you get to pick? You get first, pick right, like we would do for the master's thing. You draw the short straw, so you go second.

I'll take the dog. I'm good with that, the dud gift, so put it behind so the player to be that. There, we had a little They want all the gimmicks and sports. Let's add that I'm trading for a player to be a named later. Cool. Well, here's how we do it. Whenever that is mentioned in the contract, you get a gag gift a player that's got to be. Let's say he's got to be a player that's making eight million or more and then you got to give up on

your right. You can't protect him. And let now he comes back to your and he doesn't even know he's unprotected. He's just behind door number two and door number three is like a mascot animal that comes to your clubhouses. You pick one and whatever one you get, that's the player to be named later for the guy you gave up. It's just add another gimmick to pro sports. We've got plenty of them. It's another baseball movie, Major League two. I got you in the outfielder from the Giants, really

not those Giants. Yeah, there you go, There you go. And we do need to discuss though that's part of this as we joke, but serious. It'd be kind of fun if we're gonna ad gimmick. Let's ad a trade gimmick to it. Did you see how the Denver Nuggets did Mike Malone? It's dirty. It goes back to player empowerment, the pascification of this stuff. What because he coaches you hard and says it's bs. They don't watch tape or anything, and people can't handle tough coaching, the general manager, the

coach gone. And I know they've struggled down the stretch. I got news for you. They're still NBA capable, champion capable with the best player in the world on their team. Were getting rid of coaches. We get rid of coaches way too quick in this league. Mike Malone's a winner. It's a perfect case in point that player. What do we call player empowerment, as I said on Twitter yesterday, is just another phrase for player pussification. Is that you

get to run the show. And a team that's winning, they're two years removed from an NBA championship victory with a ring on their finger, and the dude's out because a player or too might not like the way he calls him out because they don't study, or said some of them are full of you know what, And he said it because Mike Malone coaches tough. And here's the biggest problem in society. Don't let our kids fail and coaches. If a coach is tough, he's a bad guy. We

can't have him around. If a coach is soft, well, he's perfect for us, but he's not making our kids or the citizens that are going to be the kids becomes to this, most of them an't going to sniff pro sports. We don't have enough of it, and when we do get one, people are so offended. In player powerment gets to run a guy out of the building. This is just deeper than wins and losses. It's either the player's pissed or the front office just said you've lost for in a row. I don't like the optics.

You're out that somebody in social media got him riled up because they're losing. Mike Malone should have a job tomorrow as a coach. Tough loves a little too much for some to handle, and we have pussified all of it way too often and it exists. Now, when are we getting rid of a guy who's been a while harsh at times? And we've seen guys like this in the nineties eighties. Mike Malone would be a twenty million dollars a year coach. I'm talking about if you paid

him like you Because those guys can handle it. I'm not saying the players can't. But we've created this empowerment where the second coach says, criticizes you. It's personal. Now you got to get him out or the front office. Horrible that the Denver Nuggers would do that. Nuggets would do that, not nuggers. That's what you get on the top of Is that a nugger when you get a nuggie? There you go. But the Denver Nuggets would it would be fitting if they were an early out fitting. It

seems like they're trending there. It's just I can't believe that a guy who coaches hard and coaches tough his is run out just like that. Because of his personality of that, he's a little harsher on people.

I got the best care going in. I got the best care during which was about seven eight minutes on the table if that, and then two days later seeing better than I had for three decades, and then the follow up care.

forward to feeling good about mine. I'm telling you, well, you're picking second, so you may not get you guys. You better have a beat a plan.

row from what he did last year. Now and then now look at look what look at our outfield now, Sean, I'm pretty sure you were hoping they were gonna grab an outfielder this year, right, and and there's no way that they thought camp Smith was going to make this team and be the starting right field.

pay as well. Yeah.

first base. But I think Andy's point is, I don't

think so much now that you've got Christian Walker. I think going into it the last couple of years, when it's been a position since he left, You're like, and even when Yuli was getting older, you needed to find the air apparent that he thought that maybe taking ground balls if you were going to play him in the field, and he wanted to play in the field and left field wasn't going to be the option because of his legs, you could still preserve him by putting him at first base.

It's not gonna happen now, but this has been this is an age old conversation. Since Jordan's been league, we have this feeling that big guy don't want him any outfield DH first baseman. It got to the point where Poppy never played any place, but dh right, but maybe and Jordon's young enough. And you know, I get when Andy says, so you can both be right that he's

not going to play first base. But I think Andy's point is, when you didn't have a first baseman, the natural progression you think for a big guy who you want to preserve his health but loves to play the field, would be first base. At this stage, that ship sailed, so you both can be right it ain't happening. But I get why thousands of people thought, well, why not try to play him there? If you can move Altuve to left field, you can move Jordan on to first base.

But at this stage of the game, his legs are going to be more important. They would have gone out and found the first basement, which they did well. And to the point, you just brought up even more of a reason why you would have tried it last year because you didn't have a guy, because well, the one guy you sunk the money into he was nothing and you had to go with John Singleton over there. But thirty four saves last year for Josh Hater tied for fifth most in baseball, so not bad for having a

down year. And this year he's been pretty unheittable, no doubt about it. All Right, the golf conversation a hangover, somebody says, we'll talk about that right here Sean Salisbury Show.

that uh frame of reference at all. Number two and this is something a lot of scouts will tell you. This is something Dana Brown will tell you. It is a lot easier to transition an infielder to an outfielder as opposed to the other way around. There are a lot of intricacies to learning the infield, just situationally. You know a first base, Am.

to be coming through. It's just got to give it a time because the hits and the swings are.

play him mountain left field. So if that's the case already, and you're already limiting the amount of time he's out there, why would you put more on his plate in terms of field work.

me now, pay me later. The one thing that does start to bother you, though, is if a player decid I mean if it and he's listened Jordon Alvarez over his career. I don't know what the exact splits are, but it only when he's in left field hits well, we've seen it. But also he hits pretty damn well when he's just the DH. We've seen that too. But if Jordon came he said, I want to play every day in the field, now that's a battle, kind of like the Dever's horror thing. I'm a third basin, Well, no,

you're a DH. I'm a third No, you're a DH. We got a gold Glover at third base, and now it's starting to where he's starting to rake. Bregman's raking and your best player's playing third base. And the truth of the matter is Jordon's a better left fielder than al tuove He really is, But six months from now, who knows. But if he came to you, then you'd have to make the decision. But I'm assuming he just, you know, a DH. I wouldn't judge the position or

how he's sitting right now. By the fact that he's not playing the outfield, the ship probably has sailed. Now, who knows what if something were we God forbid, Altuve gets a hammy or is that, then you may see a little bit more of Jordan in left field.

hit plenty well as a DH as well. But if it came to the point where the splits were blatant, then you say, okay, there's something to this, is there. The bottom line is he likes to play the outfield, hits there too. But the guy does hit when he's a DH. So but the ship is said, unless some crazy ass injury situation hits you, and regardless of whether Andy wants it or you don't or what have you. They went out and got Christian Walker. They don't want

Jordan to play first base. And I know sometimes we make first base seem easy. It's not an easy position, but of the infield, it feels like, okay, I almost feel it goes shortstop, third base, first base, second base, I feel like second base because you're rarely digging out balls that are in the dirt. First base is There's a lot of things that go to it. So in

that order, regardless, it's still difficult. And until it's an absolute need, Jordon's going to play the field anywhere other than spot times, you're not getting one hundred and forty games out of the month. Well, and to your point about first baseman, we found that out after you didn't have Juligar yell around anymore. When he had a guy that was a gold Glover over there playing the caliber that he did, you were like, oh, yeah, the defensive part of it, this is important too.

I see power as far as Avareds though. When the Astros brought Avareds up, they had he had as I remember, he had to have little surgery on his knees and stuff like that. Look at here, he scares me when he runs from first base or second base. D H is just fine. As I'm concerned. And Sean, the reason I called. Did I hear you mentioned earlier? You can't stand there, gimme crap after the ninth inning.

it's a gimmick. And that's exactly what is the They make enough money and we got enough time, and we like baseball games. You need to earn second base. You shouldn't get it. I don't care what anybody says, it's not We don't have to change rules just to change them. And I'm willing to watch four or five six more innings, regardless of the sleep you lose. If you love watching the game. If it goes extra innings the right way,

earn your earn second base. This is it's ridiculous, and it was a rule put in as a gimmick, and now they're going to keep it and it's silly. It's just frigging silly. It's not real baseball. Well we can agree that Augustin nastional this week is not a gimmick. Rights it ever is If you go in with a gimmick, you're gonna get your ass handed.

I wasn't on the table ten minutes and seeing better than I had since the prime of my vision. So for me, there's nobody better. It's doctor Jeff witze It at wits it Vision dot Com again w H I T S E T T. When you're looking for your eyes and they are precious, you want an expert, right. You don't want to leave anything to chance, and you won't chance

anything but success with doctor Jeff witze It. It's witsit Vision dot Com. Wits It Vision dot Com. That's wits it Vision dot Com. I don't live there for the Shawn Salisbury Show continues Sean.

people total score. If you don't make the cut any you know, if two of your players don't make the cut, then if they were plus five plus five and then two days, then that's ten strokes added to your score. So tiebreaker, tiebreaker. We usually have a sixth player, which we can do if you want a tie breaker. I would imagine with five and five we won't need one, but we can decide at the end of our picks.

I'll start Scotty Scheffler, two time winner, has not been playing well there, you're My biggest concern with Scheffler is, for the first time since he's been dominating the last two or three years, I see more emotion on him and frustration on the golf course. Normally it's just yet he still can overcome it. The guy's brilliant. He's starting to put better. The last couple of weeks. He's ramped his game up. He was really good here in Houston.

Give me Scotty Scheffler, the fact that he knows this golf course and he hits it where he wants to as long as the frustration stays out. Give me Scheffler at first.

and I think he's ready for another big breakthrough. He's won this year, and I fully expect him to win many more. First major, could possibly eighteen to one. I like, I like his ability as a young guy to kind of smile it off. I think that I think that he's going to be in the hut. Yeah, you mentioned Scotti Scheffler. Former champions. Former champions usually do well, and this guy is one of those, and he's won this year on the tour. I'm gonna go ahead, Decki Matziama, Matziyama, Okay,

I'll get you. Are you right? You got? You's already really right? Yeah, you know. I'm trying to go long shots and see if I can mix that in. I don't think Xanderschoffley has played very well this year in my opinion, considering what we have. But he's always capable. And then you got the Shane Lowry's who put it well. I'm gonna hang up there and say that Colin Morikawa hangs around, always good short game and can drive the golf ball. Give me him and he's won majors before

a couple of them. I like him.

picked the guy who's playing right now. He'd be the PGA Tour Player of the Year in twenty twenty five would be ry malroy one Cable Beach one at what the players, Yes, he did in an extra in extra holes the next day, I got to think that with the fourth pick of this and Rory is still sitting there, I don't He's had some miserable times here at Augusta, and this has been in his crawl and in his mental and I do believe that he's got a psychologist sports psychologist with him this week here. I do I

think at Augusta, or at least was there early. I don't know if it's Bob Rotella, doctor Bob Rotella. Maybe it is, who's a famed sports psychologist. But Rory's got to get over the mental block of this golf course. But I'm going to take him with a fourth pick in this draft. How can you not take him. He's the player of the year so far this year. Give me, give me macalrol O. Paralysis by analysis.

he's playing. I'm playing well this year.

to call him Brooksy. I just think that that if you've won here, the familiarity and when you're long, h I don't like to leave Brooks Kopka and his grind out of majors because the guy does everything for this and John Ram and then you start to look at the way Victor Howlin started to shape up his game. Give me John Ram because he's one here. I'm not real comfortable with a pick, but the fact that he's one here and live golfers have given some, you know,

given the PGA guys the thing to think about. Give me wrong here because he's long, and if his putter's work and he can bring the course to his knees like the shamble, because he can he can drive the ball where guys are hitting five iron and he's hitting a flip wedge in or an eight iron in. Should I say, yeah, I'll take wrong. I'm anxious to see who manages the course. Well, we've got a putt and and uh, you know that's why a guy in truth, the guys who right now the best putters in the world.

Give me somebody who can keep it in a three foot circle, which is hard to do there, but long players are hitting different clubs into it. I'm gonna go John rom.

great this year. He has played great, really good putter, and he is hitting the ball exactly where he wants to hit it somebody like back Tier or somebody's gonna come through this way. I'm just telling you and be close. But I like that pick. Matter of fact, I think that's a damn good pick because he has hit it as close and as good as anybody as far as consistence he goes. He's on a front page of Leaderboard every week. Should be good. All right, So.

everybody else has to chase. We want Phil and Tiger to be in, you know, competition with each other with everything they do. We're looking for it. We don't have it right now. We got Scotti, Scheffler and Roy McElroy, but it's not really a head to head battle on a regular basis like we created the Tiger Woods created and that Jack and Arnie. We were missing that. We got good players, but where's the star powers. I think what people a talking about Scheffler no disrespect to a

great players boring and that's okay. His game's not boring. He's phenomenal. Mechanics are weird, feet or moving everywhere, and the guy hits it exactly where he freakin wants to, and I love the guy, but there's there's some miss and then you know, some of these guys that we only see in four times a year because they're on

the Lift Tour still bring Bryson d Schambeau. Quite frankly, he went from a guy that was a heel because people didn't thought he was overly arrogant and swinging too hard, wins a major and told you he was going to just bring the course to its knees basically by hitting it farther than everybody else. And he did end one and then going to you know, I don't. I don't blame a guy from going getting three hundred to four

hundred million. Hell, who wouldn't. The reason why the top guys don't go to live is because they're making money. But if you're one hundred and twenty fifth player on tour, got to work to be to be inside that number so you can get your card the next year. I get why somebody wants to go and get their forty five million guaranteed okay, to set up their family. That neither here nor there. We don't have the weekly oh my gosh, we probably have over the last two years,

what twenty new winners. While we love the story of a guy getting his first win and struggling through it and kissing his newborn baby with his wife. We still love. Oh there's Tiger Woods dominance again. We want a villain and we want a hero, and then we'd love them to be pitted against each other. And that's just what we got. Great golfers, I mean, phenomenal players can hit

it everywhere. The problem is that while we got the dominant Scottie Scheffler and Rory mclurry, the biggest story for this week without Tiger Woods would be if Rory McElroy wins the tournament, or is battling a live guy and Roy's outspoken and he and Dschambeau, or he and John Rahm, or he and Dot Victor Hovel, Are he and somebody who's a you know, a live golfer. It's McElroy and whoever else we want the Is he gonna choke? Is he gonna go Greg Norman? Is he gonna go Rory

McElroy and at golf course? Or is he gonna do what Rory's done this year and bury the field and go win his third tournament and be on his way to a seven victory nineteen or twenty twenty five. But the biggest draw this week and it may not even be Scheffler and McElroy, although for star power standing on number twelve if they were playing in the last group

on Sunday. Now we're onto something because it's star power, even though Rory's not from the United States, but he's he's been on a tour like eight million years and he's not even thirty seven years old yet. And then Scheffler, who's calm, has won it before. We'd love the competition, but in truth we want the hatred part of the conversation. Who doesn't want Rory at twelve with d Chambeau and him locked in hell on Saturday, you can push Chevy, but I know we play two man groups on the

final day of the Masters. Who doesn't want Rory versus a d Chambeau who doesn't want Rory versus somebody else who's an outspoken guy and his plays on the live tour of Court, Dustin Johnson, even though people think he's boring too. He just hits the long way and damn good player and he's won there. So that's what the Tiger woulds affect. That's the problem we don't have. Tiger was the villain at times because everybody thinks he owed them an apology to them for the moral things that

he went through. He didn't know any of an apology other than his wife and whoever else he felt. He didn't know me an apology. I didn't look to him to be my marriage counselor anyway. So there's that. But he's also the hero of the villain and all the comebacks.

or if he does. But that's what we're craving. We're not craving, I hate to say it, You're not craving Victor Hovlin playing Rory mackel or. Victor Hovlin and Tony Fenow we love them both now but one with a two stroke lead going into sixteen, and we're like, great, we love the villain, we love the hero, and the only way to get that is by the villain part of one from the different tour at Augusta because they've

lived tour. Guy's pretty good and they've won majors. And then you got the other side where a guy who hasn't won there that we think right now is the best golfer on the PGA Tour with the way he's playing this year.

athlete out here. But not to be underscored by the fact of oh, yeah, hey, that guy's just got a ton of God given talent, and yes he does that. But I mean the way that players dress on tour. I mean the guy getting his own clothing line, all of these different types of things.

I mean, and there's nobody ever on the golf tour that's going to overcome this many obstacles, some self inflicted by him, whether it's injury, whether it's achilles, whether it's leg almost being taken, whether it's what happened with the off the field stuff, with the why, all those things, and he just keeps coming back another life. But that life's not just created by talent. It's back in there saying. And he will play another PGA Tour event, I assure you,

because of his grind. I don't know if he'll win one, but he will play in one again. And that's just who he is. You're never going to see it again. Why you may see guys win a lot, and you're never gonna see it again because very few people have the grit and wanting. Most would have said, you know what, I'm done, I almost lost a leg, this is a second another Achilles, all these things that go with it,

you're not seeing that again. Maybe from him, he'll compete and make the cut there again, but you're not going to see another player go through. Most would just say I don't have the grit to deal with all the and then all the way social media beat down on him, and he just kept staying the course, stay in the course and wins again. You're not going to see a comeback like he gave you in twenty nineteen. Nobody's doing that.

You'll have guys that win, but nobody's going to do it in the journey that Tiger Woods took, no.

was always ready. I always wanted to see.

going to take on the Clippers tonight. So that is what we have speaking of the Astros Sean, I mean, we talked about this a little bit earlier on this show. Wanted to bring the conversation back of the pitching being exactly what Dana Brown has told us this group could be. And last year we were pleasantly surprised by guys like Taylor Scott's Renel Blanco, both of those guys struggling a little bit in the early going. But while they have

their struggles, you get guys like Ryan Gusto. Hey, by the way, you got a runner on second, nobody out and it's a tie ball game. A little bleeder gets through, this game's over. You have Ryan Gusto coming in last night saying, you know what I'm up for this, I'll get some guys out, and he's able to wiggle out of the trouble with a flyout and then a double

play to be able to end the inning. Steven Okert another guy that whenever you've called his name and he's come jogging out of the bullpen, he stepped up and he's absolutely done.

And while I understand that they're trying to gain everybody's trust and do it and win, I can't begin to tell you how much it means. I would imagine if you take them aside and say, what's the most important thing about getting you to the next game and the next level, And aside from doing your job, the impact, the impact they're trying to make is making sure that the manager of pitching, coach and their players trust them.

Every time you run them out there, and going back to your point about Scott that you're like, man, when are you going to give somebody else to try? You're basically done with him in that role right now. But it's easy now imagine if you needed him later on and you decided that you would push him down and not give him the seventh or give him the belief in a high leverage situation that a spot puts him in.

That if you decided this early eleven games in the season to move down, and then two months from now you need him in a high leverage, pressure situation, there is a method to it. And winning that trust over from not only a manager but the guys who are in the field and trust you is far more important than our opinion of it, I assure you, but those guys, but you also have to perform, as all the talk and history and back of a card and all that

means nothing at that moment. And at that moment right now, the pitching staff is doing what they've done quite frankly for the last one year and a half to two years counting not counting this year yet, but counting this year. For their success is they've been the staple and the backbone this team and two new guys, two more guys that are adding to it and been really really good coming out of spring training and giving you what you need at least eleven games into the season.

When it comes out there, the I always I always defer to the guys that are around and seeing it all the time, and it is a I don't think they're looking on the short term. I think you're saying, Okay, he's going to be necessary for us. What's more important right now? They won the game, he hasn't been the Scott that you've counted on yet eleven games in and a handful of appearances. However, many innings he's got I'm

sure you have in front of you. But looking ahead, is it smart to say the guy's no good for us? And then all of a sudden, But what confidence are you gaining in a not? Like I said, there's a difference between good reps and reps you don't need. You just don't need reps. You need quality reps, and I don't know how to get I don't know how to get high leverage reps in the third inning or the fourth inning. I don't now every rep matters if it's

working towards bettering you. But all reps aren't good reps, and all pressure reps the fourth inning aim as much pressure as the seventh inning. So now you got hell, if you're getting your ass kicked, you need somebody to shut him down for three outs and then okay, that built the confidence, and sure, but what it would tell me if I was in a spot eleven games in and I'm already demoted. Not that I'm worried about his overall psyche, but as a relief, we better worry about

it because I'm not in the field good business. I'm in the production business. But eleven games in, are we really there yet? Where it's like anah, well, well, you know it's not fair to have him coming in there, not fair to who. I don't care about fair. I care about if they believe in him, and the collateral damage it does if you need him later. The only way I know how to perform under pressure is being pressure.

You can't simulate it in the bullpen, and he's sure as hell can't simulate it in the third inning when the score zero zero and there's nobody on and you're going through it. You walk off saying great, But when am I getting back to where they trust me? I don't think the trust factor should be diminished Eleven games into a season.

the roster. And if you're pitching in the fourth inning because we've had a three and a third performance by a starting pitcher, get them out. That's his job. You don't get rewarded eleven games in just because bam, you know what you deserve it well, thirty five games in if he's earned it and the production's not there from anybody else, and got to have that guy in the cent it'll work itself out. Either a performance is going to keep you there or it's gonna find you. It's

gonna find somebody else. The glove will be on the mound if you don't perform. So I'm not in the man. What if the other guy's feelings are hurt, If you're the fourth inning guy or long relief guy, deal with it, and you want to be the seventh inning guy? Keep getting people out in the fifth inning? What if okay, because of a short body of work by that standard. And you mentioned you're concerned about Yiner does Yiner das

now get set down to he should? Should he eleven games in after all last year be the backup catcher? Now then why are we then? Why is Taylor Scott being moved out of the seventh because of five three innings of appearance? After all? That a struggle in spring training? But according to people out there, I hear it's just spring training. Why I always say the emphasis is on spre It does matter. So are we there three weeks from now? Dude, now it's time to move? But are

we really after three innings? Singing?

for getting one run. That's who I'm okay, Well let me okay then, but if he's the seventh inning guy, let let's just say you think he's a boom put him in there, and he has three straight outings were three innings and a third where he blew a lead or didn't do what he wanted, didn't didn't preserve getting to the eighth inning guy and Brian Brady, then what are you want to move him out? Already?

gust is not gonna be a star right now. If you're talking about I'm just as so I'm questioning if we're willing to make these decisions after three innings for a guy after what he did last year, then I'd suggest that we probably don't understand the grind, you and I. But if you're telling me Gusto has earned at eleven games in so he can unearn it in three innings if he goes in there and blows two blows, two opportunities to keep them in the lead. Correct, So you'd

want to move him out? How do we establish roles defined if we're making decisions based on twenty at bats or three innings? So we why if you're talking about feelings, why don't we are we rewarding Scott for all the stuff he was able to pull through last year and keep a team together at times and in the bullpen and do everything was asked? And we're if you're talking about what's fair? Is it fair to run away on

him at three innings into a season? It doesn't mean if you take it away that it can't be we earned re earned, Okay, So how are you going to earn poisoner? How you're going to earn the seventh inning spot if your manager says, we can't put you in high livered situation. We saw after body work, body work, body work, they quit put Montero in those situations. But it happened. There wasn't three innings worth. Hell, I gave him three years worth of it. So and I'm not listening.

I'm not an apologist for Scott at all. My point is is that I can't eleven games into the season judge anybody's performance over the long hault. Now, if it continues, then you're gonna have to say, listen, what's going on? Is it mechanical? You got to start to look into it. But I'm not willing to bury a guy's belief in himself for the team's belief in him three and a third innings into his twenty twenty five season.

nobody better. He is attention to detail. He'll treat your eyes like he'd treat his own families or his own eyes, and he'll walk you through all the steps of LASIK and the post I care. It's non invasive. I wasn't on the table ten minutes and seeing better than I had since the prime of my vision. So for me, there's nobody better. It's doctor Jeff Witzeit at Witstvision dot com. Again wh I T S E T T. When you're looking for your eyes and they are precious, you want

an expert, right. You don't want to leave anything to chance, and you won't chance anything but success with doctor Jeff witze It. It's Witsitvision dot Com. Witsitvision dot Com. That's wits It Vision dot com.

are we doing here? The guy was your offense so far to this point, and it was either the tenth or the ninth inning is when his spot was up in the order and Joe Spot had decided to go with Victor Carrottini ended up working out because Karattini, oddly enough, was the guy that ended up being the game winning run with his RBI single. But at the time when it happened, Sean I was like, you're wanting this young

guy to learn. You're wanting this young guy to fail and succeed in different spots, and that's a spot right there where you say, nah, moment's too big for you. I can't have you out there right now. I just again it goes back to we're gonna play him every day. He's gonna be up here he's gonna play, doesn't play the last couple of games.

Taylor Scott. You just said you want to let him grow and go through punches in the face and put him in pressure situations, high leverage at bats, and now eleven games in three innings in you're ready to move Taylor Scott out of the seventh inning stretch, says seventh inning role. So why because I found that what applied to book, Because Scott's been in the league a little longer. I mean, that's part of it.

they're presented with an opportunity as a backup. You're looking for production, and you got it from a pitching staff that was banged up an injury after injury and came in like Scott did last year and do his thing like other guys have done two years when JP Frantz did his thing. Look at Renel Bloe last year. Guys that you didn't expect to do what they did at some point during the season actually loaded him on their

back and got him through some difficult times. And so if we're talking about guys who've earned it, the body of work from Scott last year has earned more than three innings of our belief. Now, if it starts to go haywire, you don't want I'm not sitting there willing to sit on a guy's look for a long time and say failure after failure after failure. I don't think we're there yet. But getting back to your original conversation about Cam Smith, if he's here, I want him to

play every day. I don't need him to play every third day. I actually, but I'm not Dane Brown and I'm not Joe Spata who's making the decisions. And if you feel it's he's in over his head, which I don't think he is, but they're smarter than I am. Then you got to get him every day at bats. But if you think he's mature enough to handle and good to continue to progress by playing every second or third day, then you do it. My belief would he'll eventually impress daily if you let him get more at

bats early. That's just my I think you got to see pitches from live major league pitchers, the ones that can dominate you. That's how I feel. But I'm not making these decisions until I guess maybe they see three or four games. But you got to put him in there and let him fail or let him succeed before we know what we got, and I think we know there's potential. But you want the other P word, which is production. The question is can you get the production

you want playing him every other or every third day. No, you can't, and I don't think you can. But then again, they've done a lot. One thing Joe Spotom wanted this year, it told me straight to our face, is not to have too many lineup changes. They had what one hundred and forty four games or something last year with different lineups out of a buck sixty two. That's that's quite frankly ridiculous. You want to get to the point when you come that it's that it's that the norm is

in a different lineup that the norm is. You don't have to look at the lineup card. And I would love if Cam Smith didn't have to look at the lineup card. And if it's not going to be that way, then have him go, Rake and triple A bring him back. I'm a big believer that he's on the roster and earned it. But you got to keep earning it and the only way to do that is keep playing him.

But that's a decision for people that are above our pay grade when it comes to baseball managing and making those personnel decisions.

him work through it. And he played every day. He played every frigging day, and by the end of the year is rookie year. Guess what he was an ALCS and the World Series Most Valuable Player, And you got a guy who comes even more highly regarded than then the prospects we've seen come up here in a minute, and Cam Smith is that guy. I just to me, unless at the expense of everybody suffering and he's an out all the time, I don't think we're there by

any stretch yet. I would personally play him every day until he either played his way into where everybody's like that's the man or needed to go down and learn a few things, and that's not the end of the world. I think he's here to stay, especially if you give him more at bats. That's just me and my opinion, but that's exactly why I'm not making on the top dugout step the decisions. I'd like to see him in

the lineup getting four bats all the time. I need five hundred bats from him, and then we can start to say what kind of player is he? I think we know well, we believe, I think, and that's usually a good steal caitalent he is. That's that's without core, that's that's there can be no question about it. But talent and production or two differ things. I think he's got an energy that adds to these guys as well.

go get the Kelvin Samson plate, the Clyde Drexler. The meats. Listen, the sides are off the charts, but the meats, the chicken, everything they do is first class with tremendous tremendous.

I know we can break it up and you know, forty game increments, fifty game increments,

however we want to do that. But eleven games in just kind of it back, even if it's just a fan, but you're you're immersed into this thing overall evaluation. Eleven games in about your team right now?

seven solidified? Is it a game to game thing or is it a that's our guy? And how long does it take before that trust in that in the bullpen and there's certain roles to find, how long does it take before it hits Yeah, So you look at.

You know, that's that's what you continue to do. As you mentioned, the two two back end guys are pillars back there, and as we continue to go through this, we're we're seeing guys developed right before our eyes. And so look, we feel like we've got a good group. The pen has been pretty much locked down. And look, when we get on all cylinders with the bat and the rotation, I think that's when we're going to run off, you know, seven in a row, ten in a row, that kind of thing.

showing Sports Talk seven to ninety uh. Speaking of Taylor Scott specifically, was really good for you guys last year, did some great things at a time when you needed him, kind of like we've mentioned Ronel Blanco in the starting rotation doing stuff that like man was really good for us well, eleven games in a little over three innings and has not had his best stuff Dana, how istant how important is it for you and Joe and the team to trust what you see eleven games into a

season that he is going to turn it around, not only for your team but for his psyche. How important is it to trust early and let him pitch in high leverage situations, to pitch through the trouble.

You know. It's just you got to make pitch certain pitches at certain times and you have to trust the stuff.

league hitters will make you pay. And so I think it's more, Hey, trust your stuff, you know, regain your confidence in your stuff, and remember that your stuff is the same. Just go in his zone and you're going to be fine. And I think he's starting to understand that. And you know, look, he's seeing some of his you know, other teammates that are really having some success right now, and he could help build off that.

reeling a little bit. Take yourself out of the GM role. You and I are sitting in the ballpark and we've watched eleven games. What's your swing evaluation for YANR. Das right now, not counting last year, what you're seeing eleven games in this year?

cases where he's trying to do too much. And I think, right now, if we could just get him to look, be disciplined, don't chase, make the picture, come into the strike zone, don't try to do too much. I think that's the speech we would give him because he's trying to do too much. Look, the kid it to ninety nine last year with a bunch of home runs, and he knows he's got a good ops and all those

good things when you talk about the numbers. But you know, sometimes it's as simple as simplifying it and saying, look, look for a strike and do damage. Lay off the off speed, lay off the stuff that's out of the zone, don't get the picture to get you to expand his zone. And I think that's that's where our speech is right now for him. And that's kind of like how I see it. I think he's going to heat up, no

doubt about it. This guy's way too talented of a hitter, and so you know, frustration grows when guys start off slow and they struggle, but you just have to keep him mentally strong.

much who he is. You know, he's a guy that can hit, you know, somewhere in that sixth sixth slot and you know, do some damage. And so we know that it will come. You know, oftentimes as I mentioned before, the hitters are a little bit of head of the pitchers are a little bit ahead of the hitters. And so you know, guys are still getting at timing right, They're still locking in on the zone, and so I would expect good things coming from yer.

that saying Joe makes the lineup decisions. But from your evaluation standpoint, can a guy get better on the major league level at his age playing once every three days or once every other day? Should do we need five hundred at bats as a rookie for us to see who Cam Smith is.

him because he was going through a down period. I mean, sometimes we have to realize these guys, they struggle when they come up to the big leagues. You know, I remember when Bregman first came up, he struggled a little bit. Tucker first came up, he struggled a little bit. They were right in the same area.

at the major league level. We've seen a lot of young players come up and do well and you know, we think that this guy can really turn the corner. And at some point, you know, you guys will see that, oh wow, he's back. So he's getting there and he's buying in, you know, to what he needs to buy into to get to hit at the big league level. But make no mistake, we feel really good about cam Smith in his future here.

the back pretty well. And and so with us needing some you know, some offense at second base by one once we put two vay and left, you know, we've I really feel like this guy could turn the corner and get back to you know what he was you know, a few years ago, you know, when he hit over to eighty one a gold glove, he was a you know, he was within the top five picks in the draft. I think it was like third in the country. So this is a talented player that kind of lost his

way a little bit. And he's you know, he's headed in the right direction. And you know, he got off to a pretty good start with us. As I mentioned, he went oh for last night. But this guy's got a chance to turn the corner and be a nice piece for us, you know at the second base position.

ball matters and moving runners over. That had to be a pleasant for you to see that you can win that way as well.

total team effort. The bullpen was really good. They came in and shut the door, and so look that's a big team win, a big confidence builder. You know, we got a good one to night this afternoon and hopefully, you know, we'll get to five hundred today and go home at five hundred and get a chance to come in there and win some games at Dyking Park.

and you know they've been pitching him tough. I've been running from him and he's taking his walks. You know, It's just it just goes to show. Like, Look, it's a long season for a reason. You know, you guys have heard me say multiple times on the show. It's a it's a marathime, not a sprint, you know. And this is not for the faint at heart. You know, you have to continue to grind, continue to do things right, continue to do things right that helps you win ball games.

And you know, we'll get through the season on top. And I have full confidence in this team, our coaching staff, and I know our fans are back in us. So look, we're ready to go. It's just that we just got to get hot right now. We're right there and there five hundred, and as I always say, you get hot, you're at five hundred. You get hot, you run off five in a row, seven in a row. Before you know you're five games over, you're seven games over and good things are happening.

the pin. But we knew at some point we're gonna have to build him back up because we had some of our bullpen guys that were down, like Fort and Whitley, and so we just were probably gonna you know, he would have been the first guy coming up from Triple A, so it probably slide Gusto into into that start, you know, and then you know, we we'll shape up with Valdez Brown. You know, Gusto Blanco west Netski. West Netski's throwing the

ball very well. So he's been that pleasant you know surprise that you talked about if you're talking about a guy is from the pitching standpoint that really had stepped it, or he's been really good up to ninety seven, you know, which is really really good. So it looks great with the scouting guy too. So look, we were still in pretty good shape, you know. Uh, you know, we don't want anything else to happen. Uh, but we still we

feel like we're there is still pretty good shape. And look, sometimes these guys will get hurt, they come back, they'll be a shot in the arm later and they'll help you ride it out all way to the end. So uh, well we'll make the adjustment and we'll be fine in a rotation.
