0:02

Sulby. Okay, let's do this. Shawn Salisbury to USC truth, longtime

0:13

friend, Shawn Salisbury, Brianma, go lobos. This is the Shawn Salsbury

0:19

Show. Returning to the University of Houston men's basketball program, A big,

0:27

big move for Kelvin Sampson and that squad sewn tripley. Good morning. Uh

0:33

what's uh? Yeah? I hit that red button? There is what a

0:38

night man? Was it? Really? It was the difference last night than

0:42

the night before. I gave Well what a night we type pb bs coming

0:47

out of your mouth. No, I mean it was a great I mean,

0:50

was it just a great night for you? No, I'm talking about

0:53

I'm talking about like a boss. Poor Blair Henley, the kid that gets

0:58

called up. I don't think he takes it out of the first and he gets absolutely shellacked. I watched it, and he gets optioned after the game

1:06

back. I watched every pitch man and I felt, I'll be honest,

1:10

first off, the kid does not deserve judgment at the W and I will

1:15

get to this, I'm sure plenty today. When you say elbow and skipping

1:19

a start, that bothers me just just uh, I'm just gonna leave it

1:23

there. I'm not a doctor, but damn it, I'm gonna play one

1:26

this morning. That elbow miss the start if you said, uh, middle

1:33

of the back spasms or something, when it's elbow miss the start, and

1:38

they send you back home for further evaluation, that that that not good for

1:42

your race. Hopefully it's just one start and that he's back at it.

1:45

Let's just hope. But I always am. I always air on the side

1:48

of a gut wrenching right. But back to Henley, dude, I he's

1:53

he's he's got good stuff. As we've heard. I watched him pitched.

1:57

I felt so bad that he couldn't have walked out there and put it in,

2:00

handed it over the plate. And we've all been there, and if

2:02

you've played a sport, those days when you're like, how is this happening?

2:08

Honest to God, and you're like, I can't, I don't understand.

2:12

And he had about thirty seconds to prepare for a start, not literally,

2:15

but you know the point. Yeah, And so you pop on in

2:19

there and go do it, and then you get you get blessed that you

2:22

have to pitch against the Texas The Texas Rangers slide up. I mean that

2:25

poor kid. I feel bad for it. And you know what, I'm

2:29

going to tell you something in this way, I feel I no time in

2:34

my life have I now I've had far more fun when you're successful. No

2:38

time in my life have I learned a bigger lesson winning than I have losing.

2:43

And I've said this before that will be. And while he's waking up

2:46

today, I assure you in thinking he's going today, I guarantee it was

2:51

embarrassed myself. I let my teammates down. I'm better than this. They're

2:55

a little knock on the self worth and self esteem, all those things that

2:59

you've go through, and then there's your pissed I mean, the emotions.

3:02

And he'll be fine. At some point in his career. I assure you

3:06

he's gonna come back and point to last night and say one of the best

3:10

things that happened to me, because dude, it just for whatever reason.

3:15

And the truth is, they found a way to put up ten runs and

3:19

overcome it. So good for them. And Seth Martinez came in and did

3:22

a hell of a job. So when I was watching him pitch, I

3:24

felt like I was on the mound for him. I'm like, man,

3:28

this poor because I know those games. He dropped back to the past, dude, and you could be standing in front of me three feet and you're

3:34

like, why is it so difficult throwing the ball to a guy who's eight

3:37

yards in front of me. I can do this underhanded in my sleep with

3:40

my left hand. You just it's one of those unfortunate things that happens.

3:47

And what the hell are you gonna do except go back down, get your

3:51

stuff right, smile. Nobody's holding this against you is that you're a bad

3:54

picture, that you don't have a future. It sucks, but there's been

3:58

a lot of successful pictures. At their first start, was like, and

4:02

so it'll serve him well in the end, right, try and telling him

4:05

that today and he's probably not buying it. But that's where the family gets

4:10

on the phone and says, honey, it's going to be okay, So

4:13

you'll be all right, and teammates and I do believe he will be.

4:16

But to to scratch out a win in a game like that when you hit

4:20

when the they I don't think it was till the eighth hitter or seventh hitter

4:25

that he got a guy out a titter. Maybe there was somewhere in there.

4:29

I'm but you know, they're hitting there, they're batting around, and

4:31

it was there you go. And then they hit into a double play.

4:34

I think did they was a double play in that inning? Or was it Seth Martinez? It might have been a double play to in the inning or

4:42

it could have gone even further than that, and I was it a double

4:45

play the one or did they miss the double play? Regardless that they've atted

4:47

around, and but the fact that the Astros was a double play, there

4:51

you go for Seth Martinez. There you go to get out of that.

4:55

Then the fact that the Astros they started fast as well. They put it

4:58

on Keeney right off the bat. He was having a hard time and umpire

5:01

wasn't given a whole lot of high strikes to anybody last night. So it

5:04

was a should I say, entertaining game, sloppy at times, but some

5:09

bats awoke and Kartini did a nice job. We think, you know,

5:12

it looks like Jordan's coming back. And finally Alex Bregman's batt woke up for

5:15

you know, a three hit game. But good job by the bullpen and

5:18

good job mainly by Seth Martinez to go in and take care of his business.

5:21

I felt bad for Henley that I did, and he's it was the

5:25

University of Texas kid. Yees, yeah, yeah, he's he's gonna he's

5:28

gonna be fine. And it's like, what do you do? Those are

5:30

the one you just chalk up and say, let me get out of here, get to the shower. I'll see you guys back up here sometime hopefully

5:35

in the near future, and and get it done. But big win.

5:39

And in the basketball game, did I tell you I felt the boat race

5:41

was coming out? Yeah. I didn't expect Zach e Edy to play like

5:44

I mean that other kid's really good, the clinging that plays him. I told you yesterday Edie pumping thirty seven. Dude. They had sixty points,

5:50

he had thirty seven of them. They had five guys score and there their

5:54

fifth guy scored two points. All the supporting cast. That's what we said.

5:58

They're so deep coming in to this tournament. We said that Purdue's heel

6:02

would be if he drops thirty five, who is who else is going to

6:08

provide points? And no one at decent night. But they didn't have enough

6:10

flooring win right, And they didn't. I mean they are is there the

6:14

fundamentals in the way they pass and get the things they do and finish,

6:16

they're so good. If I'm University of Kentucky, I was thinking about this,

6:21

I offer Dan Danny Hurley, yeah, more money than any I make

6:28

him the highest paid coach in college basketball. There was a report yesterday afternoon

6:30

that they're getting ready to offer. I would offer him what the largest contract

6:35

in men's college basketball, and then say here's fifteen million a year in the

6:39

name nil money as well. I would make Danny Hurley the highest paid basketball

6:43

coaching college basketball. He is what they're going to do. He is killing

6:46

it, and well it may be tough to leave to make it the highest

6:50

paid coach, But I'll tell you what, Yukon may not let him out

6:53

the building. I wouldn't. I wouldn't either. Back to back titles first

6:56

time since Florida with Billy Donovan and then Jokim Noah. I wouldn't let him

7:00

out either. And you know what, and Matt Painter did a hell of a job with his team after the embarrassment last year losing to a sixteen seed.

7:06

So Zach Edy do is the truth is, I don't even know who

7:09

won the MVP. Watched it until the end. Zach Edy probably should have

7:12

been the tournament's most valuable player, even though he was on the losing team.

7:15

But the other kid who you see his feet and how he runs the

7:18

court. But Edie came out smoking and was physical in the paint And for

7:24

a guy who doesn't move very well, he sure does have that, you

7:28

know that in that paint points using a little bit of a left hand and

7:30

keeping him off his left shoulder, and a little spin move and hit a

7:33

little jump hook in the lane. And he's got a soft touch. But

7:36

the thirty seven wasn't enough. But Yukon's team is all around about as good

7:41

a team consistently as I've seen quite some time. Dude, I don't know

7:45

about you, but I'm talking about with the fundamentals and things they do.

7:48

They rarely get out of their game plan. And again, can you imagine

7:53

the closest game was what thirteen points in the entire tournament for them? Yeah,

7:57

that's how dominant six games they closest anybody got was at think the final

8:00

four game thirteen and they had him by twenty at one point, and at

8:05

the end they got a couple of baskets and got to thirteen. It was a dominant tournament performance by which was clearly the best team in college basketball.

8:13

Yeah, I look at I mean, I had Yukon in the final,

8:16

but I had U of H beating them. I think if you of H would have stayed fully healthy, they would have had their hands full against that

8:22

Yukon team. Oh, Yukon team was firing on all cylinders the entire tournament.

8:26

Yeah, listen, it would have been a I'll tell you what.

8:30

It would have been a physical beatdown on both sides because both teams are physical.

8:35

Now, if they would have got there fully healthy, Hell yeah,

8:39

I would have given Houston a chance. Why because their defense is so nasty.

8:41

But Yukon played pretty damn good defense too. I mean, that's that

8:46

old Michael Jordan. Let Jordan get his fordy, but don't let Scotty Pippen

8:48

get thirty five and Edie got his thirty seven, and nobody else came close

8:54

to matching to carry in the load last night. Yukon's just Yukon is really

8:58

really good and they're well coached, and I would have loved to see Houston's

9:03

defense against that fundamentally sound team and their energy. But unfortunately, when you

9:07

lose your best wall. Listen, any of those teams lose their best player,

9:11

they're not playing in the final. And it's just a hell of a

9:13

back to back run. And the fact that they stayed hungry and actually to

9:16

me, looked better this year than they were last year. It was fun

9:20

watch man, fun watch But now that that's overfocused, you know, Strict

9:26

go to the draft. But Strict focused on his baseball team last night.

9:31

While it was ugly to start. You'll take ten runs and a win anytime

9:33

you can get it. And Jordon Alvarez looks like he's Jordon Alvarez again,

9:37

which is great. Yeah, you mentioned the draft while we're coming up on three weeks away from the first night of the NFL. H Yeah, And

9:43

it may be a little anti we're not you won't have a pick in the

9:46

first run, I mean day one, the Texans won't be involved, right,

9:50

but they're going to build that roster after that. Now, who knows

9:54

if they're going to trade their way back into it, who the hell knows. But I think they've had a final I'm a offseason, but it's Astros

10:01

baseball now. They desperately needed that win now onto Kansas City. But when

10:05

it was going on, I'm thinking, is the first inning this game will

10:09

last till midnight? Till midnight because the first inning between the two teams is

10:13

like, is this ever going to end? But the big victory and Seth

10:18

Martinez, good for you after that. Bullpen has struggled at times this year

10:22

and it was a nice, nice performance by him. Yeah for Seth Martinez

10:24

three and two thirds inning, only gave up one hit, struck out two.

10:28

Huge night for the bullpen. Taylor Scott with two clean innings, only

10:33

walked one. Brandon be Lack two innings, Briana Bray you shut it down

10:37

later on in the ninth inning, eleven pitches. Pretty efficient night for him

10:41

as well. All right, let's look at what a whirlwind for Blair Henley,

10:46

the rookie that got called up. Let's look at his numbers and what

10:50

happened to from Ervaldez. That's next on Sportslock seven ninety This is this shot

10:56

in Salzbury show. Yes, yes, that's very nice now with that fresh

11:01

leather scent. On Sports Talk seven ninety four, Kelvin Sampson and that team

11:11

all right, talking about Blair Henley from a Valdez was a late scratch yesterday.

11:16

He's got issues with his elbow, elbow soreness. He will be being

11:20

he was evaluated by team doctors back in Houston. We won't know anything until

11:28

later on today. Blair Henley got called up from Triple A. He recorded

11:33

one out, surrendered four hits, five runs, all of them, earned

11:37

three walks, thirty nine pitches. When he got pulled, poor kid told

11:43

the fellas in the in the infield, my bad boys. As as he

11:50

got yanked. Not a good outing for him, but obviously thrust it into

11:54

that situation late. I could only imagine what his emotions were like. What

11:58

a whirl wind of a day. Offensively, Sean Jordan Alvarez three for five,

12:05

three runs, three RBI, a home run. He's got his average

12:09

all the way back up to two ninety five, slugging at six fourteen.

12:13

Victor Karantini two for four, three RBIs and a home run. He is

12:18

hitting three sixty four on the season. So those are the two two big

12:24

big nights four hitters for the Houston Astros. What a bomb that you went

12:28

on, Alvarez said, You know, last year we were talking about some

12:31

of these home runs in Major League Baseball and like the distance on them and

12:35

how they're not accurate. Yeah, I feel like I don't buy it.

12:37

I feel like they're always on the on the short side. I'll see one that you say, Okay, that went over, that's four thirty five,

12:43

and you're like, how did that one? I just saw one go further?

12:46

That was four oh eight. Yeah, I don't four thirty one.

12:50

Was that home run for him last night? No? Yes, dude,

12:52

the crowd hit a bomb last night. I mean there were some Eli Della

12:56

Cruz hit a hit a four hundred and fifty footer and then hit it inside

13:00

the parker. I mean we had some uh, we had some stars shining

13:03

last night all around. You just mentioned Dela Cruz and Trout and Otani and

13:09

Jordan here. So good night for the big boys last night. And but

13:13

I'm with you. I sometimes I'll see and say, oh, that wasn't

13:16

hit very far. That's four thirty five to right field, And then the next one's you think that's got to be four eighty Yeah, oh that was

13:22

four twenty what? Yeah? So I don't know. I understand all that

13:28

stuff, but I don't understand how I feel like the distances are miscalculated at

13:31

times. Either way, it still counts as a run. Dude. His

13:35

home run was majestic. It went way up into the right field seats.

13:39

And when when the when Jeff Blumin Todd Callous announced the distance and it was

13:43

only four hundred and thirty one, I was like, no, there's no

13:46

way that had to be at least at least four fifty And it was four

13:50

thirty one. Yeah, yeah, I mean, but who's counting, right,

13:54

right? Yeah, but who's keying the score? What if they gave

13:56

like a for every foot over a four feet fifty, they gave an extra

14:01

run. Why don't we do that gimmick? There's a lot of gimmicks,

14:03

a lot of gimmicks, a ton of gimmicks and sports. For every ball

14:07

that's hit over four to fifty, you just add an extra run. If

14:09

it's for sixty, it's two runs, or one run. For seventy,

14:13

it's two runs five hundred feet it's an extra five runs. Yeah, we

14:16

might as well we put guys on second the ten thing. Don't force guys, you know, to earn the base. I mean it's like Little League,

14:22

Hey, you got a ghost runner. Why don't we just put a

14:24

ghost runner out there, that's Beer League softball. Yeah, put a ghost rutter where we could have got one second and just say, well, he

14:30

runs four for six, so he would have beat the throat of the plate,

14:33

So we'll just count that as a run, even though it's a good throw. Yeah, why don't we Why don't we gimmick that up? You

14:37

know what they do in select baseball when it's excura innings and on Sundays for

14:41

bracket play, if it's extra innings, they load the bases up with one

14:46

out, so you start that inning with bases loaded one out. And in

14:50

Major League baseball, we started extu ratings with a runner at second. Put

14:54

it to eat that way, nothing better and giving you away, giving you

14:58

something you didn't earn, nothing better than debt life. And that's that's kind

15:01

of how we're set up in society. Here, here's something you didn't earn.

15:05

How stupid. Yeah, okay, teach them. Hey, I guess

15:09

we're preparing them. If you're going to be a pro baseball player, remember

15:11

you get to the tenth thing, we're giving you extra, We're giving you

15:13

a free pass. Man. Do you remember how the extra innying thing started?

15:16

Like the runner at second base? Wasn't it COVID time? Yeah?

15:20

They were afraid. I mean they didn't want the game to go along because the germs lasted longer after eleven o'clock than they did before eleven. Exactly,

15:26

what a fraudulent time in our life? No, man, what a joe?

15:31

What a friggin you know what I'll say? It is life? What

15:33

a fraud? Seriously, what where's fauci At? Dude? He is?

15:37

What the hell is gone? The hell is that fake at? He's probably

15:41

probably hanging out with p did he good? Gracious? The more I think about the frustration, the more people's lives businesses. Yeah, shut down,

15:48

Hey man, listen, we got here's what we want to do. Germs

15:52

hit harder at ten thirty at night, so we're trying to get the game

15:56

over because when it hit it's eleven. I mean, dude, open base,

16:03

outdoor field, listen, what we don't want? We can't keep it

16:07

here longer. Let's take him by a second. And they never went back.

16:11

We never went back? Was that? What was the the weack?

16:15

Then flatten the curve? Right? It wasn't that? It? Yeah?

16:18

I still look at flat in the curve is now it's called a sweeper in

16:22

baseball. Okay, I just what a friggin fraud? Okay, don't get

16:29

me started on this. Okay, could you stop? You just got you

16:32

just got me fired up. Where's that little where? Where's that little rascal

16:36

at? Little weasel? Yeah, where's he at? Where's that guy cash

16:38

and checks problem? Where did that guy go disappear into see part of the

16:45

eclipse? Where's he at? What the else founcy at? Oh? Man?

16:49

Hey, yeah, do this do this while I've pad in my pockets.

16:52

But here's what we need to do in baseball. Put a guy on

16:56

second next innings? Why because the germ hits harder at eleven at nine thirty?

17:02

What? Yeah? All right, now that you got me, don't

17:04

get me fired up about that. Well, I want to chase that little

17:07

scrounge down, a little rascal. Little He's a guy that I kind of

17:11

want to pick up and hang him. Not hanging, but hanging on a

17:14

coat you know, in the back of the door when a doctor comes in

17:17

and turns it off. Just stick him on the coat rack where he hung

17:19

his I guess he calls it his medical coat whatever he calls it. Where

17:25

the hell's fauci? Gosh, it almost seems like I came from a twilight

17:33

zone. Is if you think back to twenty twenty, what a time somebody

17:37

comes to you in six months and says wear a mask? What will you

17:41

say? You can't I kiss my ass? Yeah? Oh yeah, Hey,

17:48

Hey, here's what I want you to do, though, honestly,

17:52

I want you to walk in think about how stupid we were as a country

17:56

and what a bunch of sheep we became. For some of this stuff.

18:00

I'm not talking about the compromised people that were the older folks that I'm not

18:06

our younger folks were compeised. I'm not even talking about that. Why did you bring this up? And think about this? We allowed people. You

18:19

walked into a restaurant, you had to wear a mask at the hostess at

18:23

the when you walk to those stands, your table's four feet away. When

18:30

you got your teeth, when you got to your table four feet from the

18:33

hostess stand, you could take your mask off. Now, I wanted you

18:37

to tell me we became the dumbest society in the world for a short for

18:45

for what's felt like a long period of time. Where's fauci at? Where

18:49

is that guy? Okay, so yeah, but we still got a guy

18:53

on second. Hey listen, listen, why listen now? If you just

18:59

say, on second, we got to put him in a fresh air mask

19:03

and they got to run the bases air, they probably would have played. And I said, okay, did I still shake my head and quite frankly

19:11

roll my eyes. I did. Then I will now never a frigin again.

19:15

Can I say that loud? You can't. And to those people who

19:18

had to do that and listen to that, hey, yeah, I gotta walk you to your table, put your mask on, but right when you

19:22

sit down, breathe in the same area you did four feet ago, you

19:25

can take it off. Think about the low iq that we went into this

19:27

with. Oh I know, and it allowed that to happen. I still

19:37

haven't had one of those swipers in my nose, not now, and never

19:41

will swiper and whatever you call sweeper swipers whatever. Yeah, good friggin gracious,

19:47

Well, here we are four years removed from that, and yet we're still using that thin guy. I mean, you think about sinus infection.

19:56

We're in April. We're in April, right, it's April ninth. Think

20:00

about this. Four years ago. We were the world shut down to this

20:03

date, right at this time, correct, I was working out in a

20:07

in a in a my buddy's garage with ropes and rice buckets, and hey,

20:12

I want to go to a grocery store on my her Well, you

20:15

gotta get in lined and it wraps around the corner, and here's you.

20:18

You stand forty seven feet from me, but I'll stand two feet from you,

20:22

right, don't And the way people looked, dude, I think about

20:25

it. I swear it was Rob Serling in a twilight zone. We were

20:27

in a twilight zone yellow that we bought in. I don't. Did you

20:34

remember how people went nuts for toilet paper? Look, there was no hole

20:38

paper. Yeah, there was no toilet paper. The Budet companies should have

20:42

gone through the roof. Man, nice warm water splashed up inside your cutter?

20:45

Where did that come from? Good? Gracious? You want it?

20:48

You want a nice bat to go to the bathroom here on the seventh floor.

20:52

Yeah, masty as dude, gracious man, word fauci? Where's Tony

21:00

at? Oh? My quick? Call it him doctor. After a while

21:03

I just started called antwine. Yeah, Tony Antoine, Anthony, you want

21:07

Welcome in, Good morning guys. I don't have a lot of time

23:18

on my way to work. I just want to say, you know,

23:21

uh, no one be listening to this radio station if you guys do not

23:25

have the astros, because you guys are certainly not experts on medicine, health

23:32

science. Yeah okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's just that gets

23:38

old. Guys. I don't want to hear your right wing views, like

23:41

I'm sure you don't want to hear my liberal views. We want to hear,

23:45

we want to he was on the show again, because what listen,

23:52

you're not an expert on anything. No, you're not an expert. You

23:56

barely knowing you about sports. I'm still talking. Okay, Joe, my

24:03

name is not jo O. Sorry they had Joe up there. Sorry Jose,

24:07

they had Joe up there. Sorry. You don't have to let you

24:12

finish. You're calling our show. You're caught our show, millions of people

24:17

on this planet. Okay, thanks by Joe, see you later. Cut

24:22

him off. I'm coming here. He's listening. If we don't know anything,

24:25

why is he listening? No clue, ye have a little sense of

24:29

humor? Wow? His sense of humber lost? Yeah, okay, was

24:32

he a doctor? Is he a doctor? Is a fraud? Okay,

24:37

to take with it what you want, all right, And second. Putting

24:40

the guy on second base in nextra innings is a gimmick period and it started

24:42

with COVID and that's where this started. And having a little and and and

24:47

and you know what, have yourself a little bit of a uh well,

24:52

have yourself a better day. Yeah, yeah, you're right. I'm not an expert on on that, but I can tell you this, neither is

24:56

Fauci. Okay, Andy, what's up? Oh my goodness, you know

25:06

that that's one of the guys that I saw. He's probably the guy I

25:08

saw the other day driving with a mask on and we were just we're just

25:15

having fun about the second base extra innings thing and and the fact that fouc

25:18

she steals a fraud. But anyway, go ahead, Yeah, I just

25:22

I gotta tell you us. During that time, I actually saw a guy

25:26

outside barbecue with a mask on. I have I have seen some stuff that

25:33

these people that we've done all over the world. And the guy who's just

25:38

called in there's only one word for that. It's called sheep. They they

25:45

just do whatever they told And Sean, you are correct to go into a

25:51

restaurant with a mask on and to sit down and then take it off.

25:55

To eat doesn't make any common sense whatsoever. I'm all about great common sense

26:03

when it exists, Andy, when we're trying to do it. I'm sure to tell not about the stupidity of somebody teaching me, telling me one feet,

26:10

put one step, take it off the other stage. And I don't

26:12

want to get back into twenty twenty. But the fact that we walked three

26:15

feet it was actually, at times in a restaurant comical, and it ruined

26:19

a lot of businesses too, So save it. You're exactly right, you

26:22

know, if you go back and look the number of restaurants that went out

26:27

of business and other businesses and people that. How about the fact that people

26:33

and let's get serious, how about the fact that people lost loved ones and

26:36

never was by their side. Yeah, they weren't allowed to be by their

26:40

side while they died. And who said anything about left or right wing stuff? We were talking about baseball, right right, that's exactly right, Yeah

26:45

right, Andy, Yeah, there you go. This has nothing to do

26:48

with left or right. This has to do with common sense, you guys,

26:51

And I guess what son sing it out? Would you at the break?

26:56

I don't even listen to some of your singing there you go. Well, you know, brother, they that that takes you to the whole new

27:00

level of energy. You got that? Can I ask where Jose's doctor's offices?

27:11

Thank you? I mean, oh, why would we put him back

27:15

on exactly? I don't know, we don't. I thought he didn't listen.

27:22

We barely know sports. And you know what, one of the things

27:25

that he said was like, you guys don't want to hear my liberal stuff. You can tell you tell your opinion. Brother first off did and he

27:33

he's the one who mentioned the ry how you vote drive. Bottom line is,

27:37

I don't care what walk of life you come from. I disagree with

27:41

it. We were talking about the extra ding rule, which started in code.

27:45

But we don't know anything about baseball or sports, not sports at all.

27:48

But he's still on He's still on hold. He'll sit there for about

27:52

well well and all the way back to twenty twenty if he wants to.

27:56

Okay, let's talk to Let's get to Ernie. Ernie, welcome in.

28:00

Good morning, guys. I normally don't call. I listen to the show

28:03

every day. I'm an uber driver. But after this Joe Jose, whoever

28:07

he is, I had to call you guys. I love your show.

28:11

28:17

to stop doing the Uber. But uh, I don't know what he was talking about. You guys are great. You're very knowledgeable the sports and I

28:25

love it. And again I didn't want him to say all that, and

28:30

28:33

28:37

28:41

he was talking about, but y'all are great. Appreciate it, man,

28:44

28:52

Appreciate it. Ernie, Yeah, there's no doubt. Thanks man. We hey, listen, part of the thing. We do have a little

28:56

fun with a guy on second base. You know what, take a chill

29:00

pill. It's gonna be okay. Yeah, and you know, we'll talk

29:03

to me about your doctor's expertise when unless unless he's a what is it called

29:07

epidemiologist? Is that's what it's called yeah, yeah, save it and and

29:11

coming on here talking to us, and we actually put his ass on exactly.

29:15

Let's talk to Brad, Brad. What's up? Good lord, guys,

29:19

Good morning, morning morning Brad, doctor Sean and doctor Brian. Hey,

29:25

uh real quick, Uh the Blair hitting me from last night, I

29:30

mean here, I mean a lot of negative stuff online and everything with him.

29:33

You know what I always want to tell Pearter, thank you for coming

29:36

out in the last second. Agreed. That's a big league game in your

29:40

hometown against one of the top ranked teams of baseball. It didn't go your

29:44

way in Hathens man, but uh, keep that head up. Uh.

29:47

Secondly, Brian, I think that was Joe from the Arrangers fan listening to

29:52

your podcast the other day, You're getting I'm left and right right now,

29:59

Bo. But over all, any that offense keep going from last night,

30:02

keep going. We need one. This can't city k say you want and take away the Angers again. I'll get back on track, guys, great

30:08

chef, And you know what in a night when your when your picture didn't

30:11

have his best, you got to score a lot of runs. Yeah, and they scored ten. And I'm with him as we said to open the

30:15

show. I have nothing negative to say about him. Hey, listen,

30:18

it was a rough performance, but who of us hadn't been there, dude,

30:22

to be forced into it, He'll be better served along the way.

30:26

He'll he'll he'll feed off that the kids got good stuff. Man, and

30:29

I there's not that we should not be ripping him. No, because I'll

30:33

tell you what. First off, you're like, I'm starting tonight, Well,

30:36

what a great opportunity happens. I assure you he's going to get a

30:38

lot better that that was the fact that he had to go out there on

30:42

such short notice. Good for him, and it was just an unfortunate night.

30:45

I don't I don't believe he deserves to be kicked in the teeth and

30:48

buried when he had his opening performance was bad because we've all been there in

30:52

some way, shape or form in our careers. Yeah, it's Crazy's talk

30:56

to Jin before we get to break. Hey, Jen, welcome in. Hey a long time. I hope you're doing well. Yeah, Jose there,

31:06

you know, just let you know I identify as a doctor even though

31:11

I was a police officer for forty years. You know, well, you

31:14

talk about public service, you and police officer and doctor good, gracious man,

31:18

man, thank you. Yeah, yeah, but you know, and

31:21

I can I can hear and I can see identify an idiot. And that's

31:26

what Jose is. I like. I like that idea. I put in

31:32

the honored d s at First Base, especially after yesterday's show for CD of

31:37

with it in Kaderini or Karantine. Yeah yeah, but but anyway, I

31:45

just I'm listening to you guys that just I had a little ticker problem,

31:49

you know, so, but I listen. Are you okay, Jen,

31:52

Are you okay? You okay? Now? Everything all right? Yeah,

31:56

I'm okay, I'm okay, seeing the right doctor so good. But I'm

32:00

but I just listen to you all every day and and I'll tell you what

32:04

I enjoy it and and uh you know I got both. We appreciate you,

32:09

brother, you stay healthy. We love you man. Thanks And he's

32:12

always been a loyal listener and caller and we hadn't heard from him. Great

32:15

to hear from himI Grant. He's in good care by a really good doctor.

32:20

That's a great thing. How about that, dude, you're you're you're a police officer and you're also a physician. You want to talk about some

32:29

some service to others. There you go, there you go. I like

32:36

to start it with a little fire. Why did you do that to us? Why? Why? Why? Why'd you do that to me? Isn't

32:43

that where we are in society? Man? We we talk about the extra

32:45

inning rule and how it started because of the COVID season and what they told

32:50

us about. That's why we are at second base, right. So we

32:53

have a little fun in a half and this guy Jose calls in and have

33:00

to bring up pology. Here's what I'd like to know from Jose. It's crazy. Here's what I'd like to know from Jose. How would he know

33:05

if we know nothing or we know a lot about sports or life, if

33:07

he's not listening exactly? If the show sucked in and you're right or left

33:12

winging? At only point time did you say you were liberal when with a

33:14

guy in second no or conservative or who you're voting for? I really don't

33:19

care if he's liberally. He's welcoming my home into as long as he puts

33:22

a muzzle and a mask on. Anyway, that'd being stead He also brought

33:24

up the Ted Cruse interview. We've had Ted Cruise on twice in the last

33:28

like a year, so that means he listen. Hey, Brian, listen,

33:32

you suck, Sean, you suck. How'd you know he suck?

33:37

If you're not listening, I know, I'm gonna tell you right now,

33:39

I've had worse days than Hindley did last night on my career, I assure

33:44

you. Talking about an unpaved road. I've been out at plenty. So

33:47

dude, I just I love the guy. I'm not gonna listen anymore.

33:51

Oh man, hope I'll get through the day, you know. And now

33:55

that I know his names Jose and not Joe, when I saw I must

33:59

have read it with nobody's fault just kind of pops up. But you know,

34:02

doctor Jose, we appreciate you, good friggin gracious. And you know

34:07

what, I'll never apologize for having a few laughs and fun exactly. If

34:10

you can't do that, you can't do that for this show. And don't

34:15

don't don't don't the thing that I don't know anything about sports, No I

34:19

do, I know, I just I don't. I don't, I don't.

34:22

And if you really want to get personal, when he he tried to

34:24

bring up millions of lives got lost, well, my father law. Never

34:29

mind, I'm not gonna go. A million's lives did get lost for for for opposite reasons too, Yeah, exactly a million's life for ruin, and

34:36

nobody was nobody was making any comment towards those who were lost. Right,

34:40

Okay, we're talking about second base. And and you know, if my

34:44

opinion of Fauci bothers him liberal or conservative, get over it. It's not

34:49

a long line of nobody cares. If you love him, you can love

34:52

him all you want, read all his books, and go add to his

34:55

fund, whatever it is you want to do. I don't have to,

35:00

and Norm will I, but I'll stand on second base trying to score a

35:02

run an extra ratings. Hey, there you go. All right, let's

35:06

let's get to break seven one three, seven ninety. Phone lines lighting up

35:09

this morning. I wanted to talk to Astro, so let's get to this

35:12

offensive explosion last night. Next on Sports Talk seven ninety, The Sean Salisbury

35:17

Show continues on your game console. Listen to Sports Talk seven ninety on any

35:23

device with our free iHeartRadio app. Let's talk to Daniel. Daniel, welcome

35:30

in. Good morning guys. First, I would like to say, as

35:35

someone who does what Sean used to do, but the opposite. I drive

35:37

from Kingwood to Farmers Branch Or, Irving, Texas every week Monday and then

35:44

back again on Friday. I listened to y'all religiously on the art. Yeah,

35:46

Daniel, y'all, yeah, you called us what six months ago,

35:50

maybe the last time, this time last year. I remember talking to you, and you drive the Dallas every week, right the fact that, yeah,

35:57

yeah, that's right. I gotta tell you what you deserve. Whatever

36:00

they're paying you get double because that's a hell of a hall. And we appreciate you listening. Man, Thank you, well, thank you very much.

36:07

Just went we're just wondering if y'all what we're gonna do. We're gonna do a hockey game this postseason, but with the stars. But outside of

36:14

that, I don't care for Dallas sports anyway. I was calling about Jose

36:19

Abrady's last at bat. It looked like he was just doing whatever he could

36:22

do to get back to the degout. So whatever we could do to just

36:25

maybe sit him down for a few games to get his mind right or whatever

36:29

he's to be done, that I would love to see. And Pro Football

36:32

Focus's latest mock draft has us getting braeland Thrice in the second round the Texans

36:38

and uh the not Murphy, but the other defensive tackle out of Texas,

36:45

and I think if we can steal both of those guys in the second round,

36:47

I think that the Texans defense is absolutely nightmarish. Anyway, just want

36:52

to know your all thoughts and again, appreciate y'all and thank you. It

36:55

mixed my morning every morning driving listening to y'all the best. Thank you,

37:00

thank you. He's right if you can grab those guys up front, because

37:04

one extra side of beef, if you know what I mean up there is

37:07

great. I think we're on the verge. We keep talking offense, yeah,

37:12

And Daniel's right and rightfully so. You had Stefan Diggs and you're working.

37:15

You had Joe Mixon. It's been a hell of an off season now.

37:20

And the defense, I'm telling you, with the impact of Demico Ryans

37:22

and build it the way he wants and Daniel Hunter and the way they're playing

37:25

in will Anderson another year and being more stout inside if you can land that

37:31

body inside and beef it up a little even more. Linebackers run secondaries getting

37:37

better and maybe get a little extra depth there. We're going to be talking

37:40

the defense just as often as we're gonna be talking the offense. So he's

37:44

one hundred percent correct, and you have postseason hockey would be great. What

37:47

else did we miss? He had mentioned one other? Oh yeah, Brad,

37:52

you you know what he's laboring hard can and you know what, I'll

37:55

tell you. One thing I know about slumps and sports it it doesn't has

38:00

has no idea about age, has no idea about position. One thing I

38:04

do now, it hits them all. And even at thirty seven years old,

38:07

you don't have to be twenty two to labor over a slump. Because

38:10

that guy seemed great. They were mentioned on the broadcast last night. I

38:14

was watching listen to the Rangers side on Bally as well. I wanted to

38:16

hear both, and they were talking about when he's at his slugging percentage,

38:21

when he was going, when he was going good. Now the last two

38:23

years it's tailed off. Yeah, but he's had a hell of a run

38:29

man. Yeah, And maybe it's and I think Daniel hit it and we've

38:31

heard it here before with Dana Brown. Rest is going to be imperative for

38:36

him and he just got to get back into feeling it. Regman felt that

38:39

last night and he was hitting one seventy seven or something going in the age

38:43

difference maybe and maybe just the bats slowing down. I don't know. There's

38:45

gonna have to be some adjustments made for him, and it may not be playing every day. So you mean to tell me, you know what,

38:52

I'm a save it. Yeah, I didn't want to talk about it. Later in the seven o'clock Carol, real quick, let's get to Alex.

38:57

Alex, thanks for rolling me. What's going on? Warren, Jan how

39:00

are you all today? Good buddy? What's up? I just want to

39:05

start by saying I came in on the back end of that heated conversation y'all

39:09

were having, and then you mean him being butt hurt because he was sensitive

39:14

over a few laughs. And if you can't laugh with us in the morning, it's the wrong show to be on. My Man, you and I

39:19

both know that you're absolutely right. This show makes my morning. I got

39:24

to be a work at seven thirty every day, and when I get to

39:28

work, I immediately sit in my truck, turn you all on the iHeartRadio

39:30

and walk into work listening to y'all like y'all are the reason I listened to

39:35

talk radio in the mornings. Man, that's great compliment. Thank you appreciated,

39:39

Alex. But no, getting over to the Ashtros. We have two

39:44

wins in the book, back to back against a very good Rangers team,

39:47

and now we go into Kansas City for three. We're three games off of

39:52

five hundred baseball and the season is just starting. I mean, this is

39:55

where they need to look at it and say, Okay, our season starts

39:58

here and go start whooping the mass and get it over with. Alex.

40:02

Would it be cool too? That's a great point. If they go sweep

40:05

the series, they're right back at five hundred baseball fourteen games in, right,

40:08

I mean, just like that. It can happen, right, and

40:12

then you're back to Zeros and let's go. It doesn't take much. It

40:16

just takes focus and motivation to go get it. And I like the way

40:22

they had the lineup set up last night. I watched most of the game. I ended up falling asleep of my recliner actually trying to finish it.

40:28

But uh, the only thing I would have done differently, especially with the

40:31

way Dana Brown has been talking about the rest for a bray you is,

40:37

if you want to give Yiner the break from the plate, put Krantini there

40:43

and then put Yiner at first base and keep his bat in that lineup because

40:47

he is hot, he's breaking, and he's getting after it. He's proven

40:51

that he deserves that starting spot. Alex here on the same page as our

40:53

great guest, Big Weekly, Steve Sparks, is on because he had suggested

40:58

that maybe just once in a while, get his bat in the lineup,

41:00

rest his legs, rest to bray you, which will be an advantage for

41:04

both. And that's the way you keep your Diaz his bat in the lineup

41:07

without crouching. So you are on the exact same page as Steve Sparks,

41:10

and I would agree one hundred percent keep the bat in there and save the

41:14

legs. It'll it'll, it'll pay dividends after July. And you and I

41:17

both know that. Appreciate you, brother, Thank you, good stuff,

41:21

Thank you all. Thanks. One more thing, y'all, one more thing,

41:23

yep, he said, y'all are an experts from everything I can tell

41:29

in your respective fields, and what y'all do, y'all are the experts.

41:31

Should I get my information from y'all when I need it. I appreciate y'all.

41:36

Y'all have a wonderful day. Thank you. Little laughing in the morning

41:40

is a good thing. There's nothing wrong with little laughs and morning. And

41:44

when I got apologize for laughing and having a good time. You know, if somebody's a little bit offended with then guess what. That's a you thing,

41:50

not a me thing. When I quit laughing is when I'm quitting,

41:52

you know, before I got it and I'm just gonna vage, then I'm

41:55

gonna just you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna stand on somebody second base.

41:58

Before I got yeah, exactly, the Coast Runner. Before I got into sports radio full time, I was in oil and gas where I had to

42:04

go into an office every morning. I sat in traffic on the Harty Toll

42:07

Road every single morning before I was able to work from home. As I

42:10

got a little further in my career, to me and then I can't wait

42:14

to be with Sean those yeah, there's that as well. Those drives I

42:19

liked. I really enjoyed what I did. I didn't love it like I

42:21

love what I do now. Laughing while listening to sports radio is a good

42:25

thing. I need it, right, you that myself? Oh yeah,

42:30

and good information. And I was like, I'm not always right predictions wise,

42:32

red, But and our caller said, truth, There's been plenty of

42:36

times they've called and said no, this is different. So I'd like to

42:38

give our callers have some pretty good expertise too, right, and so and

42:43

we lean on them too, because sometimes you know that I know his birthday

42:45

was a day after that, not a day for great And guess what if

42:49

you can't laugh at yourself, if you got all the answers and you're the

42:52

smartest guy in the room the whole time, I would imagine that you're the dumbest guy in the room. Right. That's usually serious. That's exactly right.

42:58

Seven one, three, two two five, seven ninety the number to

43:00

join. Let's get into the seven o'clock hour. What happened to fromber Valdez?

43:04

Next in Sports Talk seven ninety A Houston, Houston, and I heard

43:08

radio station. This is Sports Talk seven ninety your home for your home teams

43:19

driven by the classic elite to Fewick GMC Studios for the elite car buying experience,

43:27

Salisbury, Houston. Okay, let's do this Sean Salisbury to usc truth,

43:37

longtime friend Shawn Salisbury, Ryan Lima, Go Lobos. This is the

43:44

Sean Salisbury Show. Let's talk Astros fromber Valdez. Scratched in his start supposed

43:55

to be yesterday. Well, Blair Henley comes in, makes his debut,

44:05

does not pitch well. He records just one out, throws a third of

44:09

an inning, four hits, five runs, all of them earned three walks,

44:13

thirty nine pitches an era of one hundred and thirty five. He got

44:16

thrust into that situation later. It was basically a no win situation for the

44:20

kid. I'm not one ounce mad at him either. No, as a

44:23

matter of fact, if he's who they think he is, I would imagine,

44:27

you know what, they're gonna think he's gonna be better for this now

44:30

trying to tell somebody that what it's going through it sucks? How many of

44:34

how many of us have I'd just like to know on the first time you

44:37

took the when you put a mic in front of your face, yeah, turnout for well? I remember, yeah, a show like oh my very

44:45

show, my very very very first broadcast. I was nineteen years old and

44:49

I was doing play by play for a high school playoff game between Client Collins

44:53

and College Park High School. And I was horrible. It was probably yearn

45:00

your leg nervous. The whole world's listening, terrified, and I probably had

45:04

like thirty people listening. Yeah, I was terrified. Hey dude, we

45:09

would all raise their hand there. Whether it's a sporting event, your job

45:14

sailed you, first time you go in and got to make a presentation to a sales staff or something. I would imagine people will living that first time

45:19

you got to go try to close something out, you blow a sale.

45:22

Yeah, And I listen if we automatically think, well, he's not a

45:28

big league pitcher, he may not be ready yet. Yeah, but the

45:30

fact that they put him out there tells you that they hold him in high

45:34

regard. I honestly I have there's nothing I actually and I know he didn't

45:38

want us to feel sorry for him. I felt bad for him because you

45:42

had to know he's thinking to himself, man, am I is it?

45:45

Am I going to get an out? And I just I honestly, I'm

45:50

keeping a close eye on him to watch what this does for him and if

45:53

he's mentally tough, which I would imagine he is, he'll probably never have

45:58

to endure a start life like that again, where he we're throwing hard to

46:01

even throw a strike. Now, he'll go through moments again in his career

46:04

where he doesn't he's out in two and a third innings or a third,

46:07

or doesn't finish an inning. But that's just And like I said, someday

46:13

he's going to look back and smile and say that happened to me then.

46:15

But I'm sure grateful that I was able to get through that and here I

46:19

am now and they won. So kudos to the Astros for swinging bats and

46:23

posting ten runs against a really good team and a World Series champion on the

46:28

road, needing a split of the series and helping him out. And it

46:31

was listen, he had a rough go and Seth Martinez came in and did

46:35

his job. So there's not one person that should say guy can't survive in

46:40

the big leagues. He wasn't ready yesterday, but how many would be when

46:44

you're like, oh, by the way, farmer can't pitch today, which leads us to our next conversation, how nervous are you so to Henley,

46:51

I know he's not waking up listening to Sports Talk Radio this morning. No,

46:54

he is. You know what, I'm actually proud that he gutted it

46:58

out and went out there and had the balls to step up and just hey,

47:01

my bad, and we'll move on to the next one. And I'm

47:04

sure the Astros players see the same guts that I think that we're gonna see

47:07

along the way. So no issue here with him last night. Tough performance,

47:12

that happens. Yeah, it's gonna have. He ain't the last one.

47:14

And it's gonna happen to veterans too. We've seen it. Did we not see one go through that on our team last year in the postseason?

47:20

Did we not see a picture struggle through an ending last year? Yes, Christian Xavier. And we think Cavier is frigging lights out right. Game seven

47:27

of the Louder So everybody in the backum year, Game seven of the Alcs

47:30

at home and when he got rock then when we run him out there,

47:34

do you do you feel like he's gonna win every time he pitches? You?

47:37

Damn right you do. Yeah, So there you go. So, hey, stick your chest out, open your eye, he's gonna be handle.

47:43

You're gonna be fine. Yeah, that's okay. Not a big dealin

47:46

frommer got scratched. He's got elbow sore on this Yeah, said he felt

47:51

it playing catch, but he was not put on the I L. I

47:54

think that's the interesting part. If they thought it was bad enough, they'd

47:59

put him on the IL. Right. Yeah, well, I think that after further evaluation then then then you that's when you probably approach. I'm hoping

48:07

it's just one of those little sore, a little tired, you know, whatever it is that I guess. And right, one thing, I don't

48:13

know anything about other than the orthopedics on my knees or shoulders were I've had

48:15

surgery, never had an elbow issue. You hear it. Whenever an elbow

48:20

soreness comes to fruition, there's always concern. If you weren't concerned, you

48:28

wouldn't have sent him back for more evaluation, right, but you didn't put

48:30

him on Houston Houston and iHeart radio station Sports Talk seven ninety your home for

48:43

your home teams driven by the Classic Elite to view at GMC Studios for the

48:47

elite car buying experience. Sulfrey. Okay, let's do this on Salisbury to

49:02

usc truths. Longtime friend shown Salisbury, Ryan Lima, Go Lobo. This

49:07

is the Sean Salsbury Show. Let's talk Astros from ber Valdez. Scratched in

49:59

How many of how many of us have I'd just like to know on the first time you took the when you put a mic in front of your face,

50:04

52:13

us to our next conversation. How nervous are you so to Henley, I

52:16

know he's not waking up listening to sports talk radio this morning. No he

52:21

is. You know what, I'm actually proud that he gutted it out and went out there and had the balls to step up and just say hey,

52:27

52:45

Did we not see a picture struggle through an ending last year? Yes,

52:47

Christian Xavier. And we think Cavier is frigging lights out right a louder so

52:53

everybody in the back of the year Game seven of the Alcs at home and

52:57

when we got rock then when we run him out there, do you feel

53:00

like he's gonna win every time he pitches? You? Damn right you do. Yeah, So there you go. So hey, stick your chest out,

53:07

open your eye, he's gonna be handle. You're gonna be fine. Yeah, that's okay, not a big Dealin frommer got scratched, he's got

53:14

elbow soreness. Yeah, said he felt it playing catch. But he was

53:19

not put on the I L. I think that's the interesting part. If

53:22

they thought it was bad enough, they'd put him on the I L.

53:24

Right, yeah, well, I think that after further evaluation then then then

53:29

you that's when you probably approach. I'm hoping it's just one of those little

53:32

sore, a little tired, you know, whatever it is that I guess.

53:36

And right, one thing I don't know anything about other than the orthopedics

53:39

on my knees or shoulders were I've had surgery, never had an elbow issue.

53:43

You hear it. Whenever an elbow soreness comes to fruition, there's always

53:50

concern. If you weren't concerned, you wouldn't have sent him back for more

53:53

evaluation. Right, but you didn't put him on the I L. So

53:57

you're not to concern today, or at least when you put him on I

54:00

didn't put him on aisle. That it's just hopefully a temporary road I mean

54:06

a temporary speed bump. Right, did you get that you're gonna have a

54:08

small speed bump, a temporary roadblock that you're gonna everything's going to be fine.

54:13

That's what I'm hoping, because that's news. We don't need to hear

54:15

no, and neither does he. And in the state of Major League Baseball

54:20

and all these elbow injuries, which we're going to talk about the steak out,

54:22

by the way, another reason why the concern hits you when you hear that, right, you hear elbow soreness, and you think, oh my

54:28

gosh, because it's of course natural natural response by anybody who hears that from

54:32

the ac your staff. Yeah, seven, one, three, two,

54:36

two, five, seven, it's get out to Adrian, Adrian, what's going on this morning? Okay? He hung up? Where's yo? Yo?

54:44

Adrian? Man, dude, he always got some good per man tough

54:47

sudden. There he is again here I got him triple. Let me get

54:51

this fired up, Adrian live on air. Brother, what's going on?

54:55

Hey? What's going on this morning? All sad? Hey? Ho?

55:00

Next time you call here, I hope you wear a mask, bro spread

55:04

and all that stuff all through the phone lines and all this other stuff.

55:08

How you non expert doctors doing this morning? Oh? Pretty good, man,

55:13

good man, pretty good. I'm you know what, and I'm we're

55:15

apparently not very good at understanding. You put a guy on second base.

55:19

It was a gimmick, and to me it still is. But that's just

55:22

my opinion. Okay, but the beginning. But then Jose changed my mind,

55:27

of course he did. I just called to ask you guys who got

55:32

over more easter Bee or Fauci. You guys have a good day. Oh

55:39

dude, man, I've given the check mark to Fauci. I've given it

55:45

to him. I've given it to him. He's a lead dog, right, I don't know, man the club man. You can't put those two

55:52

in the same Yes, frauds okay as well? Do you know? I

55:57

mean's slow down? You can't. You want me to pull the picture back

56:00

up? And Jackie used to be hanging out with Texas and and basketball from

56:04

a couple of weeks ago. No, we'll do it. You want to see his man man cameltoe. No my point? Yeah that makes me horny.

56:09

Thanks? Yeah, yeah, on the drawers, brother, we do

56:15

it Jackie? Come on, was he weard a cup? No? But

56:21

my point, Adrian's hilarious. My point is, in the big scope of

56:25

things, you can't put the check mark by Jack over over jack make the

56:32

argument. Okay, yeah, it's worth it. It's worth an argument that

56:37

I don't want to have this morning because I don't want to be that negative on both of the All I'm saying is, imagine, okay, you could

56:42

put to to and like let's put imagine you're walking level of the walking through

56:47

the hall and doctor Fauci comes running up to you, grabs your hand and

56:52

says, put your mask on, or you got Jack used to be running

56:54

up on you your hat, grabbing your hand and saying, brother, let's

56:58

pray together. Dude, I'm going to lunch. Man, I'm gonna close.

57:01

I'm gonna close on both of them. Here's the lesson to evils.

57:07

You got problems, man, Man, maybe we all need more Jesus.

57:13

I know you do. I know you do what Jose might need more Jesus

57:16

to you need more, dude, let me look look at me. Joe.

57:21

Well that's what it came up on the board. By No. I don't know how I was plugging. Maybe a different thing man when he said,

57:25

Hose okay, Jose, I thought I thought it said it said Joe

57:29

on the board. I can only listen. Don't don't ship the messengers I'm

57:32

looking don't. It's not even it's not. It sometimes shows up under a

57:37

name you know it's called AI technology has right right, Yeah, now I

57:42

digress. Would you say to me, oh we got to get the stake out? Oh okay, yeah anyway, anyway, what happened to you?

57:49

You do need Jesus dude, Yeah, more of them. Let's get Jack

57:52

E used to be on the phone. You need you do it a matter of fact, you need to come here and pray in the morning. Did

57:55

to help your heart? You know it's a soften your heart due. You

58:00

want me to be a be come more compassionate. Yeah, that's the phrase

58:04

Krindler Gentler on this show. Not really, but you go where you not

58:09

really, we don't do Kuder Jentler. All right, let's get to the

58:13

steak out, and you know what we're going to talk about. Major League

58:15

Baseball has a picture injury problem. Next we're Tuck seven eighty. The Sean

58:21

Salisbury Show continues on your Roku. Listen to Sports Talk seven ninety on any

58:28

58:50

Time for the steak out here on the Sean Salisbury Show, Sean Brown

58:52

and Tripley here with you. This morning. Astros beat the Rangers ten to

58:58

five. They take on the Kansas City Royals tonight in Kansas City, six

59:07

forty. The first pitch Christian Xavier on the Mound yukon winsday National title in

59:13

men's college basketball. All right, let's take a look at Major League baseball.

59:20

They have a pitching injury problem. You have from ber Valdez, who

59:30

was scratched from yesterday's Star. He's got elbow soreness. Who is at?

59:36

Shane Bieber, Tommy John here, let me go through this list real quick.

59:43

Garrett Cole obviously having elbow problems, shoulder problems in a recent forty eight

59:52

hour period, Uri Perez, Shane Bieber, and Spencer Streider all with elbow

59:58

problems. Shane Bieber is gonna go uh, Tommy John both actually both Uri

1:00:04

Perez and Shane Bieber, Shoho Tani, Tommy John, Jacob de Gram,

1:00:09

Sandy Alcin, Tara Robbie Ray, Shane McClanahan, Walker Buehler, Lucas Giolito,

1:00:15

Felix Bautista, Dustin May, Andrew Painter, Shane Boz, Kumar Rocker,

1:00:20

and raining Alsy Young Winner Garrett Cole. They are all out with elbow

1:00:24

injuries. You know what I say to that that if you want to get

1:00:29

a good idea, how get some answers and understand. And a really good

1:00:34

point is listening to Justin Verlander. I think it was must have been when

1:00:37

he was in Sugarland. We've got that audio bit. Yeah, we're gonna

1:00:40

play that next second. He is spot on and it does. It filters

1:00:49

all the way down to the Little League. How are we doing it training?

1:00:52

You see some of the gimmicks, dude, I watched social media every you know when we see social media every day, I see some of these

1:00:59

these gimmicks at these are used not only pitching, but hitting and trying to throw it harder. I saw a kid in a batting cage. They had

1:01:05

a bunch of guys in their chair. Take a fifteen yard running start and

1:01:08

I'm talking about though it as hard as he could into the thing. Now,

1:01:12

you tell me, if you're an outfielder, do you get a fifteen

1:01:14

yard so well, you'll only be gotta be sitting in the dugout, drinking gatorade and smoking a grit by the time you throw that homeh and that is

1:01:20

not strengthening your arm. I'm just telling you. And you could say,

1:01:24

well, you're not I knowing the position of throwing motion being taught by people

1:01:30

far smarter than me, that's not doing anything for your arm. And it

1:01:34

sure as helen doing a thing for your mechanics to throw a guy out.

1:01:37

All right, So the stuff I see every day, some of it's good,

1:01:42

some of it is horrendous. And they are stealing your kid's money in

1:01:45

baseball and football daily. Now the way we and we got one goal in

1:01:52

baseball seems to me. Now, Now, I'm not saying every coach that teaches it, by any stretch. There's a lot of phenomenal coaches, and

1:01:58

there's a lot of horses ass trainers who are training these guys and they're doing

1:02:02

it the wrong way. And you and I both know you see it every

1:02:05

day, right, every day, But that's for their parents to judge.

1:02:07

You want to pay somebody to do that, then that's on you. But

1:02:10

if you're going to pay them, make sure they're doing it right. And

1:02:14

there's different ways to do it right. There's not only one way. But I can tell you this that the fact that every single kid we teach.

1:02:21

It seems like in high school that the kids now they see it on TV

1:02:23

like everything else. You know what they want to do. Just throw it

1:02:25

as hard as you can, throw it as hard as you can, Dan

1:02:30

Fouts told me, and I'll say it every again and again and again.

1:02:36

The arm only has somebody throws in it. The Nolan Ryan's, Warren moons,

1:02:39

Tom Brady's that those are the outliers. That's not the norm. And

1:02:45

for whatever reason, you got to have a little luck on your side. You got to train it. Sometimes it's DNA, you're you're gonna get hurt.

1:02:51

Sometimes it's a unfortunate circumstance. Sometimes it's bad preparation, and sometimes it's

1:02:57

just you've done too much of it. What it tells me is we've got

1:03:00

to get this and nip it in the butt at a young age. Not

1:03:02

because the the full body of work, Brian, the cumulative effect you know

1:03:07

this year around the baseball guys all the time. Yeah, cumulative effect is

1:03:10

a problem. And justin Verlander, which we'll hear, like you said,

1:03:14

we got to get it early because throwing as hard as you can, I

1:03:17

don't think it's the answer to you No, all the I'm talking about all

1:03:21

the time, it doesn't appear to be the answer. That crow hop thing

1:03:24

you're talking about. And cro Hob was a sprint. It wasn't like a

1:03:29

four kro hops. This kid started at the back of the cage and ended

1:03:31

up about twelve to fifteen feet from the jugs or from the d Yeah,

1:03:37

but he took a right It was like he ran a twenty yard sprint to get to it. That's not doing That's that's what pictures are being trained to

1:03:44

do these days. Pictures outfielder's any of them? They all and and the

1:03:49

idea is to literally throw it as hard as you can and to hit a

1:03:52

certain mile prower. What the hell? So what so it's good on TikTok

1:03:57

so? I actually I don't give a damn if you throw ninety five miles

1:04:01

an hour into a net after a twenty yards print? Can you throw strikes?

1:04:05

If you can't throw strikes, you do nothing for me. And I

1:04:09

love a guy who can throw it through a car wash without getting it wet.

1:04:12

Who doesn't like seeing that? I guess here's the problem. Most of

1:04:15

them can't hit the car wash exactly. And guess what one hundred and five

1:04:18

mile an hour ball. Four. Did you see how Hardy threw it?

1:04:21

Yeah, and the guys standing on first base. I can take this one

1:04:25

hundred and three mile an hour fastball that comes right down the middle with no

1:04:29

movement. Guess what the good players are gonna do. Hit it five hundred

1:04:31

feet. Yeah, and it starts. It's more than just that what you're

1:04:34

talking about. I see that all the time. It starts with youth baseball,

1:04:38

no doubt it starts. It's not even Little league, honestly, it's

1:04:40

when you get into select baseball. There are nine and ten year olds,

1:04:44

ten year olds that are throwing sixty to one hundred pitches every single weekend because

1:04:50

they play year round. In select baseball. You play year round nowadays,

1:04:55

and you have kids that throw between sixty and one hundred pitches every single weekend.

1:05:00

That's where it starts. Yeah, I'm going to say from my point

1:05:02

of view in sports, I listen. If you only want to specialize in

1:05:05

one sport, that's fine. If you want to play three. I don't

1:05:10

think any coach should ever talk a kid out of playing male or female.

1:05:13

More sports. You learn to be competitive. You learn if you're not a

1:05:15

star and one how to be a great teammate. You learn different body movements,

1:05:19

all those things. I love people who play multiple sports. But even

1:05:25

if you do specialize and that's all you want to do, great because you

1:05:27

like, I'm not interested in the other sports. If you want to be a baseball player or a quarterback and that's all you want to do, that's

1:05:32

fine. But guess what I will never let my quarterback do. If you're

1:05:35

training with me, if you throw three hundred and fifty five days a year,

1:05:41

that's not a good thing. No, especially that the body needs rest.

1:05:45

I mean, the body needs rest. So to do that specialization's fine

1:05:49

if that's the only thing you want to do. Now, if a high

1:05:51

school coach talks a player out of play in other sports because he just doesn't

1:05:55

want him, you're not allowed on my team. Then I think the high

1:05:57

school coach needs to go find a new gig. A player just wants to

1:06:00

play one sport, fine, but you're exactly right. I don't think playing

1:06:04

three hundred and sixty five days a year in any sport is good for anybody.

1:06:10

I just don't. Matter of fact, come to somebody if they've thrown too much, come to me, go swim with your buddies. Take today

1:06:15

off. Yeah, go be a kid, Go do something else, Go be a kid. Right, You're not gonna miss out on being a baseball

1:06:19

player getting drafted because you missed one day. Now. If you're a lazy

1:06:23

ass and you're only working thirty days a year, now, we got a

1:06:25

problem, right. And it's not just working more. We always think more

1:06:28

reps, more reps, more reps. No, because if you're teaching bad

1:06:31

reps, the body only knows the mind's thing. Oh bad reps. Might

1:06:36

This is what I do, and not every rep's a good rep. So

1:06:41

it's not just rep repppppp rep rep. It's good rep, good rep,

1:06:45

good rip. Give me fifty good reps as opposed to one hundred reps.

1:06:47

Guess what, I'm gonna be far much farther along than you are. Yeah.

1:06:51

Let's we've got some audio from Justin Verlander. He was asked about the

1:06:55

injury issues with pitchers in Major League baseball. We'll here and discuss next seven

1:07:00

one, three, seven ninety. Tom Gilbert will also get to you guys,

1:07:02

don't go anywhere next on Sports Talk seven to eighty. I'm a diard

1:07:08

back to the Sewan Salisbury Show two on two five seven ninety the number to

1:07:13

join. Let's talk to Gilbert, Gilbert, what's going on? What's going

1:07:16

on, buddies. I'm just gonna let you know about that other guy.

1:07:19

And I said, he doesn't know what's going on. Man, y'all been doing this for years. Y'all are the experts to me, and I love

1:07:25

y'all show. Thank you, Gilbert, I appreciate you, brother. Yeah,

1:07:29

And I listened to y'all every morning, even when I'm at work. Man, I said, you know what it is, and right now we're

1:07:32

about to get right now, I'm were going to take this tick right now,

1:07:35

doing an expansion over here with a group called bother Worths. But anyway,

1:07:40

the Ashle was starting to play like Ashwell's again. You know, I

1:07:42

guess that guy, that kid, He was like, but you know how

1:07:45

this sometimes when we're young, right, hey, our family's here, our parents are watching, but sometimes you get a little you know, a little

1:07:50

over eager. Oh yeah, I think that's what kind of happened to him.

1:07:56

And he's like, man, I got to show my parents I can do it. But then he got a little over how you say over at

1:08:01

Zuber and try to do too much. Yeah. Hey, I think that's

1:08:03

probably what he was. Yeah, Gilbert, And I'm not mad at him

1:08:06

at all. Man, He's gonna be fine. It was one of those

1:08:09

days. Hey, Gilbert, the job do you cook? Do you do

1:08:13

you cook? Like barbecue or cook or cooking a kit do you like? All right? You know, think about that. I think about the first

1:08:18

time I tried to make something different that was a little off, you know

1:08:21

what I mean, whether it's in the kitchen. Try and I'm like,

1:08:25

I come out of that and then everybody here start taking a bite of it,

1:08:27

and you say, did I leave something out? Some I's not right

1:08:30

with this metal and you throw him the trash. You're like, do I

1:08:33

quit cooking forever? Do I do? I go back to the drawing board

1:08:36

and be better? Except that's all it is. Hell, I'm not gonna.

1:08:40

I'm not gonna. So I actually think it's gonna pay dividends for him

1:08:43

down the road though. A great point by you. Yeah, but anyway, go astro and let's get it going. Sure, appreciate you, brother.

1:08:49

He's right, Gilbert. There you go, and he's in Austin,

1:08:51

which is where Henley played his college baseball. Right there you go. Let's

1:08:56

get to Tom. Tom walkme in. Good morning, guys, great show

1:09:00

this morning. I'm gonna get right to it. What a win for the

1:09:02

Astros at last time? First inning they tore two runs and then a young

1:09:08

man goes out there and gives up five. And you know what, collectively

1:09:12

and spiritually the team said, young man, we know exactly how you feel.

1:09:16

We've been going through it for ten days. We're going to clean this

1:09:19

up for you. And clean it up is what they do. Great wins

1:09:23

for the team. I don't know what else I canna say about that,

1:09:27

but let me let me get to really why I want to talk to you

1:09:30

out this morning about it. I don't know what happened with Jose is not

1:09:34

in here, but I want to say something. You know, when I

1:09:38

call this show, the guy that answers the phone Triple League, he sets

1:09:42

the table for every caller, and he does it by being polite. I

1:09:45

know he's smart, smiling. When he answers that phone, he tells me

1:09:48

he's gonna get me on in a couple of seconds. Hang in there,

1:09:51

he lets. He prepares me. So that's the first thing that happens when

1:09:56

you call this show. The second thing is I'm gonna go with triple league,

1:09:59

the three I call it. These guys are an drive time babies.

1:10:02

You're entertainers and you do that better than most. There are going to be

1:10:06

more people listening to drive time radio across the country than at any other time

1:10:14

when a radio's on in this country, so it's important. I don't know

1:10:16

what your numbers are, but I know that they're good. That's the second

1:10:20

That's the first e The second EE is you engage with every caller. You

1:10:26

give them time to make their take it. We can always agree to disagree

1:10:30

clarity instead of agreements, and that's always what comes out of Brian and Shawn

1:10:35

your mouths. That's the second eade the thirty educate. Hey, I called

1:10:43

some of my takes have been out off the table. Maybe my demeanor wasn't

1:10:46

the best. You to catch your little paddle by telling me you love my

1:10:50

passing, But I took it on the chain a couple of times from you

1:10:54

guys, and that's called educat. So those are the three e's you guys

1:10:58

do every day and you're always suggested. So I don't know what happened.

1:11:02

If you're still listening, that was called a good radio call back, Tom

1:11:09

has spot on man, Thank you very much, appreciate it. Thank you.

1:11:14

Hey. We've all taken it on the chin a few times, but we all do it with good fun. And to your first point, and

1:11:18

thank you for the competent time. You're always great and entertainble. We'll take

1:11:21

a couple of you too. Well. You remember the one you had slide

1:11:26

across your forehead. I saw that a total eclipse, and there's a little

1:11:30

saw it on the newscasts. Somebody, somebody may not be in today after

1:11:33

they saw probably triply. I will say this and I mean this sincerely,

1:11:38

and it's not I can't remember a time when I see a guy that has

1:11:42

never had a bad day. Well, if he does, we never see

1:11:46

it ever. Is it the the constant respect and and attitude. It's you'll

1:11:55

find very few people, including us, me and you, they wake up

1:11:59

in the morning is in good of mood and as grateful as that guy is,

1:12:01

and we're grateful to have him. He's been such a And Rhino said

1:12:04

yesterday and I don't want to embarrass Ryan, but he was sure impressed with

1:12:08

you. Our former producer. I know he was tripley impressed with you and

1:12:12

the way you do things, and you're just a You're the perfect perfect fit

1:12:16

1:12:35

1:12:39

onto that, and he is respectful and happy. Your mom and dad got

1:12:44

1:12:47

guy every day and so it's in it makes it makes better for us.

1:12:51

I know the callers are lucky. Matter of fact, you callers quit it.

1:12:56

You get on with Triple E. You like him so damn much.

1:12:58

He's in there talking to you guys, Like twelve minutes while we're trying to

1:13:00

run a show here, he's in there. You guys are carrying on a

1:13:03

conversation, exchanging cards and pleasant you know, I'm kidding but that's that's a

1:13:08

compliment to him. Yeah, because the question engaging things. So there you

1:13:12

go. Do appreciate it? I really, damn you're the best man.

1:13:14

We appreciate you, guys. Wanta Hugger. No, yeah, we can't group hug after the show once again. He really he's going to boss kill

1:13:20

triple moment. We get as flowers when it's deserved, for sure, but

1:13:26

it felt like a good moment to to hug Man. This guy's being dude

1:13:29

there, well you do you love it? And see when you go to

1:13:31

hug Brian. You know some guys will like Hug to the side. Brian's

1:13:34

a hip cruster Hugger. Come here, dude, my lower back's off limits.

1:13:41

Come here seven five, seven nine to talk to John John what's up?

1:13:46

Hey, what's going on? Guys? Hey, yeah, Cripple he

1:13:49

is the man. I mean, he's dead dude, but uh, he's

1:13:53

just like you're done. He's dead dude. But y'all guys, hell,

1:13:56

y'all know this something. I don't know if y'all know this man, but

1:13:58

look, well you're done being doing over the off season. Man. It

1:14:02

works, but the man looks in shape like it don't drop by twenty pounds,

1:14:08

his eye, the ball cordination as great as swing, as fast he

1:14:13

is gonna have. Wasn't his best season this year because he's in shape.

1:14:17

I mean he's carrying this team. And you know the sound of a good

1:14:20

leader. That's when the team follow what you do. The last two games,

1:14:25

you're done set the table and they especially last night, and they came

1:14:29

behind it. I mean they raked, they raked, So you're done to

1:14:32

stay healthy and keep looking like. He's looking like he's in shape. He

1:14:36

ready to play. He gonna ball, man. So that's all I got

1:14:40

for y'all. This money, I have a big money appreciate it's always Johnshaw.

1:14:44

You are right on. You know what. I don't know, you

1:14:47

know how what his conversations are with teammates and the dug out. I'm sure

1:14:50

he's so beloved and he doesn't even remind you of the guy you know when

1:14:55

we say, you know quiet works in silence and lets his game do the

1:15:00

talking. Yeah, every time I see him, I expect him to hit.

1:15:03

I would imagine in that locker room, you know, like when you're

1:15:06

pop shit. I'm not saying he's like being old, but he's he's so

1:15:10

young, but he has this presence about him that he doesn't really need to

1:15:14

say a whole lot to you, and he just is there's about you know.

1:15:19

We can name a handful of guys that I look at every time they

1:15:23

come to play. They're just born to hit man and impact other ways.

1:15:27

When that guy's got a bat in his hand, it's and it sounds cheesy,

1:15:30

but it's like magical because the guy can hit it to left field,

1:15:33

he can hit it four hundred and fifty feet the other way, he can

1:15:36

hit it and you know what, at no time when he's struggling, when

1:15:40

the last time you saw him break a bat over his knee? Yeh.

1:15:43

Never. The calmness has got he for others. I mean, I'm a

1:15:46

big believer in like it permeates through teams. You take on personalities and great

1:15:50

leaders and you don't have to be a great leader and be a talker.

1:15:55

Now, I don't know, he may be the funniest guy on the plane

1:15:57

at the clubhouse. He just feels to me of a silent Oh you need

1:16:01

a hit, I got you and starts it off with a you know,

1:16:04

and homers in this one gets things going as another night. John's right,

1:16:09

man, this guy is primed for I don't know how you let him get

1:16:14

to the end of his contract. You can't. You can't. Now he's

1:16:18

a if I had to pay him today, he's in the rarefied air.

1:16:27

Oh yeah, he's in the Sodo tatis akunya otani trout conversation. He is,

1:16:35

he is, He's just different, John, You're right on, man.

1:16:39

I could go on all day. Every year I feel like he gets

1:16:43

better. And that's saying something because this isn't a guy who it's two twenty

1:16:46

and for power. He's gonna hover around three hundred all a year. He

1:16:49

is literally as good since I've been here, and as good as al two

1:16:54

days. He's the best all around hitter when you combine everything that I've seen

1:16:58

since I've moved here in ten years now. I know Bagwell and Visio, but even Bigio. You know, he's not going to hit the home runs

1:17:03

that the Jordon, and I think that Jordan has a command of the plate

1:17:09

that a guy that's been in the league twelve years has. I think the

1:17:12

guy is phenomenal, and the way he carries himself is exactly the way a

1:17:16

guy That's why he won't stay in long slumps and when he gets going,

1:17:19

I told you, I pity the fool that has to deal with that guy

1:17:24

for a month when he decides that it's time for me to carry everybody on

1:17:27

my back. I think the most impressive part about Jordon Alvarez's game and like

1:17:32

what he does day in and day out, even when he struggles, is

1:17:34

that just the simple fact of him walking softly and carrying a big stick.

1:17:40

We got to go to break, dude. I always said to you're geared

1:17:45

up like what a d's nuts called. I was geared up for like man,

1:17:49

I was. I'm like looking at you straight in the eye, think I can't wait for this. I'm looking at you thinking, man, okay,

1:17:58

give me let me hear that. What is your most improvant what what

1:18:01

is it going to be said that we haven't heard or said yet? And

1:18:04

you say anticipation, speak softly, yeah, tripley. I know you can't

1:18:11

see me in here. You can just see Sean. Sean was dead ass

1:18:13

looking right in my eye and I'm looking at him and I had to look

1:18:16

down because let's start this. This dude decided who is cazing, isn't it

1:18:25

I mean, come on, man, uh learn it from you. Drop

1:18:29

your mic? Dog, yeah, drop your mic. Oh my god,

1:18:32

oh my gosh. Whoa. That's that's what we do here on the Seawan

1:18:35

Salisbury Show. All right, let's let's hear this justin Verlander audio talking about

1:18:40

the picture injuries in Major League Baseball. It's it's pretty interesting. That's next

1:18:44

to Sports Talk seven ninety. This is the Seawan Salisbury Show. Are you

1:18:50

not the tang Let's begin nowhol oh yeah, cow Sports Talk seven ninety.

1:19:02

You know, you see on we've talked about mechanics all the time and stuff.

1:19:05

How do you get better as a player, hitter, pitcher, quarterback,

1:19:09

wide receiver, practicing specialization whatever it might be. And I'm pretty sure

1:19:14

it was Maur's dad that they used to. He'd have PVC piping and you

1:19:17

know it's closed, and there would be a lick a whiffle ball, the

1:19:20

smaller whether it was a small with you know, the small golf whiffle ball,

1:19:25

right yeah. That Maur would have his hands loaded up and so he

1:19:28

could get through the hitting zone and quick hands and not see this isn't the gimmick, and he'd roll the ball through the piping hold the piping down where

1:19:35

would come, not where it's above your head. But just teaching launch,

1:19:39

just teaching quick hands through the hitting zone. And by the time the ball

1:19:43

came through the PVC piping, he'd have to get his hands through the hitting

1:19:46

zone to be loaded up and get it through there before the ball hit the

1:19:48

ground. Now, that's simply just working on quick hand eye coordation and getting

1:19:53

through Because one thing I'm sure you see all the time, Brian late Jack,

1:19:58

it's a little hitch to get through wasted motion. Something we all should

1:20:01

teach to eliminate, whether it's hitting, pitching, quarterback play, anything we

1:20:08

do. Wasted motion is nothing more than that wasted motion and puts you a

1:20:12

split second behind. And I would say that Joe Mauer turned out to be

1:20:15

a pretty good hitter. He was okay, yeah, not bad right. I do believe he's a Hall of Famer now. So point is is that

1:20:20

that there are certain drills that you can use, and that was one.

1:20:23

And it gets back to that pitching. It's not just about loading up and

1:20:26

throwing it as hard as you can. As you well know you're around those

1:20:29

guys every day. Yeah, that's the one of the biggest things that I see is that one front shoulder flies open, and two if you are keeping

1:20:34

your shoulder through the baseball, hands don't get through. Hands are always kind

1:20:39

of late through the zone. And it's it's just they're they're lazy through the

1:20:43

hitting zone. Yeah, and that they don't tend to be lazy, but

1:20:45

the ability to get through the hitting zone explosively and the quickness where like I

1:20:50

said, and you saw go back and watch the our hit, there was

1:20:54

no wasted motion in swing. And so I'm a for me, I'm a

1:20:58

big believer in that the more or you can eliminate waste in motion and still

1:21:00

generate explosiveness through the hitting zone, through the throwing zone. As a quarterback,

1:21:05

why do you think that the Dan Marinas and Aaron Rodgers can get it

1:21:09

out so quick? When the ball's up, the ball's out. There's no

1:21:13

extra the ball is up and out. Right. Late quarterbacks end up handing

1:21:15

gatorade to the other guy who's not late. Okay, same thing with hitting

1:21:19

and pitching. So don't be the guy the hands gatorade, right, be

1:21:21

the guy that gets gatorade. Yeah, there you go. Seven one three,

1:21:25

two, one two five seven I's talk to Leo. Leo, what's

1:21:28

going on? Hey man, what's going on? Hey Brian, do you

1:21:30

know your coach with the Bandidos. So you know Donald Rodriguez, I know

1:21:34

the name. I don't know him personally, but I do know the name.

1:21:36

Okay, Yeah, Well he was a high school director for Ray when

1:21:42

he was there. I coached the year there with the Banditos as well with

1:21:45

Donno. But oh yeah, Donald's my guy. Man. Me and Donna

1:21:48

go way back. I started at Bandido's twenty ten to twenty eleven and Dotto

1:21:51

was there with me, and you know, he was doing the high school

1:21:56

stuff just like I was. Now he's at a different organization doing well as

1:21:59

well, you know, still do this thing. Yeah, and so so

1:22:02

my kid was when he was playing high school ball. He was a catcher

1:22:06

and he comes home one day when you talk about pitching mechanics, he comes

1:22:10

home one day and he's like, damn Dad, Dad. He goes,

1:22:14

You'll never guess what our coach told our pitchers today to do to throw a

1:22:18

change up. And I'm like, oh what, and he goes he told

1:22:21

him. He goes, Uh, he didn't believe in the circle change.

1:22:25

He wanted him to just to throw like a fastball, but what he wanted

1:22:28

him to do was to curl their toes on the push off foot to throw

1:22:34

a change up because what it would do it would create a pain in the

1:22:38

foot that would not allow the arm to speed through the mechanics of throwing the

1:22:44

ball. I'm serious. And I remembers Sean was saying earlier about gimmicks and

1:22:49

stuff like that on YouTube and everything else, and I'm like, you gotta

1:22:53

be kidding me, man, And he's like, no, I'm serious.

1:22:55

And then I started getting calls from a couple of other dads and stuff.

1:22:58

He goes, did you your son come home and tell you what what the

1:23:00

coach told them the pictures? Yeah? He just oh, man, I

1:23:04

laughed so hard. And I remember I told that Storgeadato and and we Donnald

1:23:09

and I used to play ball and we played ball together, I mean mentally

1:23:12

so uh but I played high school ball and and so when I heard that,

1:23:16

I mean, man, I couldn't help, but I started sharing it,

1:23:19

and out of respect as a human being, I won't say don't yeah,

1:23:24

you don't need to say the name exactly right and right and the school

1:23:28

but but yeah, it was, man, it was it was. Could

1:23:32

you imagine standing on the mound. First of all, you want the arm

1:23:35

action to look the same anyway, right, You don't want to It's like

1:23:39

a putter. You don't want to decelerate through the throwing zone as a pitcher

1:23:43

or a quarterback. That that's the worst. I mean, there's no accuracy

1:23:45

involved in decelerating. Can you imagine all those those thoughts going through your head

1:23:49

on the mound. You got the ball, check your sign and oh change

1:23:54

up here, dude, let me tell you, and you start to your

1:23:58

movement on the mound, it's like, curl your tour and decelerate through the

1:24:02

throws. That what, Yeah, don't say the name. I don't.

1:24:05

I'm with you. I don't like to. I'm not gonna blast somebody like

1:24:08

that. Wouldn't do it. But good gracious, let me tell you what

1:24:11

not to teach. Curling your toes to slow the may throw a palm ball

1:24:15

as opposed to a circle change whatever it is. Please don't curl your toes

1:24:19

on them. Like they say in golf. The Masters is this week.

1:24:24

If you can't fit your swing thoughts on a three by five card, then

1:24:28

you got too many swing thoughts. It's a same I can't ever imagine Sean

1:24:31

dropped back. Now, get on your tip toes. Curl them so you

1:24:34

throw a check down so there's not too much velocity on it. Just stop

1:24:38

it, Leo, that's classic Bred. What are the great gimmicks of all

1:24:42

time? It's crazy? Yeah, the great great show to believe you the

1:24:46

Man and filling Juggies shoes. Man, that was That was big man.

1:24:51

But you're the man and you guys got a great show on lamp every morning.

1:24:55

Man, I appreciate you. You got a game this week? Yeah?

1:25:00

We do? Who you got? Do you guys got game? Who's who was on the hill for you? I don't know yet. Okay,

1:25:04

Well, when you put the line up together, mentioned curl your toes on

1:25:08

the change since you don't want to throw a circle chick. That's that one

1:25:10

I've never heard. Hey, I'll see as a first round picking in Major

1:25:14

League Baseball draft? What what a joke? Cur your your toes because it

1:25:18

won't let your arm speak through this, because the pain will slow your arm

1:25:24

down in the throwing zone. Can you imagine having that pitching thought? Jeez,

1:25:29

I'm not good enough to have that, but he swing thoughts brother, let alone a twelve year old or a sixteen year old, what a joke.

1:25:36

Okay, somebody's paying that guy. Somebody is. He's making money.

1:25:41

I do no question about it. Let's call on legalized theft. Yeah,

1:25:44

is Sports Talk seven ninety driven by that classic elite to view at GMC Studios

1:27:23

for the elite car buying Experience. Salisbury Salbury, Houston. Okay, let's

1:27:33

do this. Sean Salisbury, there to usc true, longtime friend, Shawn

1:27:40

Salisbury, Ryan Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sean Salsbury Show,

1:27:48

yukon winning the national title in men's basketball. All right, a lot of

1:27:54

picture injuries, uh so far in the last year and then obviously this year.

1:28:01

Let me just go through some names. I said it earlier in the show, but I'll do it again. So just here, in the last

1:28:05

forty eight hours, you've had Uri Perez, Shane Bieber, and Spencer Strider

1:28:11

all go down with elbow injuries. Uri Perez and Shane Bieber are both gonna

1:28:15

have Tommy John surgery. Spencer Strider saw some damage in his ucl. He's

1:28:18

obviously one of the best young pitchers in baseball. He won the American League

1:28:21

cy young Yeah, excuse me, National League yep. So you've got them

1:28:29

here. Let me go through these other ones. Obviously, Shohio Tani recovering

1:28:33

from elbow reconstructuring a reconstruction. You got Jacob de Grom, Sandy Alcintara,

1:28:40

Robbie Ray, Shane McClanahan, Walker, Bueler, Lucas Gielido, Felix Bautista,

1:28:45

Dustin May, Andrew Paynter, Shane Boss, Kumar Rocker, and obviously

1:28:48

Garrett Cole started the season on the il because he has an elbow issue.

1:28:53

Well, Justin Verlander, after he made his rehab start a couple of days

1:29:00

is to go in sugar Land for the Triple A team. He was asked

1:29:05

about the elbow issues in Major League Baseball, and again, you know,

1:29:12

there's I think it's a lot more in depth than just the pitch clock.

1:29:17

I do think the pitch clock has an issue. But this is what Justin

1:29:20

Verlander had to say. I don't know, man, it's tough. I

1:29:25

think the game has changed a lot. Uh you know I I I think

1:29:29

the thing be easiest to hear him playing the pitch clock. You know.

1:29:31

I think in reality, you put everything together and everything has a little bit

1:29:35

to a little bit of influence, you know. I think the biggest thing

1:29:42

is that the style of pitching has changed so much. You know, everybody's

1:29:46

throwing as hard as they possibly can and spinning the ball as hard as they

1:29:50

possibly can, and you know it's hard to deny those results. Obviously,

1:29:56

how can you it's it's it's it's a double edged sword. How can you

1:30:00

somebody to go out there and not do that when they're capable of throwing one hundred and and you know this, This young guy comes up and throws a

1:30:05

pitch ninety five and gives up a big homer, and everybody's like, what

1:30:08

the hell man, So something needs to change. I don't have all the

1:30:13

answers. I know pitching, you know, and I've been I don't want

1:30:17

to beat a dead horse here. It is what it is. I think the data is out there at this point. But when the balls started to

1:30:23

change back in twenty sixteen and they started flying out a bit more frequently,

1:30:27

I know myself personally, that started changing how I had to approach to pitching.

1:30:30

You have to start swinging. You have to start approaching the batter as

1:30:36

I want swing and miss I can't have him put the ball in play.

1:30:39

Where the old adage pitch down, pitch away from the guy, hit your

1:30:43

spot, get a week, you know, get weak contact early in account,

1:30:46

and then you can kind of go up. And that kind of went

1:30:49

out the window when when everybody started being able to leave the yard, especially

1:30:55

opposite field you know, and and look like I said, I'm not here

1:31:00

to I've said my piece on that before in the past, and it is

1:31:04

what it is. As long as we're all out here competing on an even

1:31:06

playing field, that's what I care about. And we all have the same

1:31:10

baseball in our hands. So that's that. But I do think that you

1:31:13

throw that in the mix. So that's justin erliner his audio. I mean,

1:31:16

it goes on for another two and a half minutes, great points thought.

1:31:19

The first and a half is pretty good, you know what's interesting,

1:31:24

and it gets down Now there's a lot of I don't proclaim to know all

1:31:27

the reasons guys get hurt, but he just named a handful of them.

1:31:32

And you're right. You throw a hundred, You going to tell a guy

1:31:34

to ramp it down to ninety four? No, especially if you have if

1:31:39

you've had success to one hundred. Yet here's the key for me, Brian

1:31:42

is how did we get to throw in a hundred? Yeah? What steps

1:31:45

did you take to get to be able to ramp it up? Is it lower body explosion which takes some stress off the arm, which I'm big on.

1:31:53

Listen, the big muscles in the legs are a lot bigger than the

1:31:58

muscles in the arms and the show they just are. So you've got to you have got to engage in hitting, pitching, the lower half and all

1:32:05

those we're not going to go. We don't have time for. It takes

1:32:08

hours to teach, going through how to generate the explosiveness and velocity in baseball,

1:32:14

velocity in football without losing the accuracy you want. Velocity goes up,

1:32:18

sometimes accuracy goes down. But how we sometimes not saying all the time.

1:32:23

Some guys can throw a hunt Randy Johnson, what eleven twelve strikeouts to one

1:32:27

walk? But remember when Randy left USC, Randy hit the top of the

1:32:30

screen with the fastball, and he was taught well commanded, it worked on

1:32:34

it still was able to throw a hundred and get through a career. Sometimes

1:32:39

you got to be a little lucky too. But I can tell you this and all the stuff that ver Lander's talking about is we should all listen to.

1:32:45

And it starts at a young age. But how you get to that

1:32:49

velocity and to be able to ramp it up? And some guys are just

1:32:53

blessed with great leverage and understand the mechanics of it and are taught well,

1:32:57

whether it's at home or a young a guy who gets some young as a

1:33:00

coach. But I can tell you this, there's a big difference. We

1:33:03

now have more throwers than we do pictures, and there is a difference.

1:33:09

Dude. It's just like hitting. We have more we have guys. Listen

1:33:14

the precise hitting we got. Guys, what are we teaching Brian? You

1:33:16

know this elevation? Ye want the ball out of the ballpark? And Verlander

1:33:20

mentioned it, guys going up with the baseball. You pitch a guy away,

1:33:24

try to get weak contact in the ball lands in the seats opposite field.

1:33:28

So how you're getting to it as a young player to generate that kind

1:33:31

of velocity. But in the process, are we teaching kids in all our

1:33:36

sports to be a quarterback not a thrower, to be a pitcher not a

1:33:42

thrower. And there is a difference, a major difference. And if you're

1:33:45

fortunate that you're a pitcher who can pump at it one to old one,

1:33:51

you're in rare. You're you're the outlier. We got to stick you over

1:33:57

here. And then in the process of being able to pitch fifteen or twenty

1:34:00

years and not be hurt eighteen years. Kbm E Houston, ADHD two Houston,

1:40:58

over here. And then in the process of being able to pitch fifteen or

1:41:01

twenty years and not be hurt eighteen year career. Okay, the Bob Gibson's

1:41:06

don't exist where they can keep the ball down. And I mean that once

1:41:10

in a while. Those guys are and few and far between. We have

1:41:13

more throwers in high school, you see it, just like I do more

1:41:15

throwers than we do pitchers, and there is a difference. So one thing

1:41:19

you mentioned is how did we get here to one hundred mile an hour?

1:41:23

Right? Give me the mechanics that got us there. These kids nowadays have

1:41:28

every every opportunity and everything right there at their disposal to get bigger, faster,

1:41:34

stronger early on in their careers. And I preached to them in a

1:41:39

lot of ways, and it's preached early. You go watch an eleven U

1:41:44

and I know you're not going to, but if you watch an eleven you, and I had to be. I was in a club baseball, of

1:41:47

course I am. You go watch an eleven or twelve you select baseball tournament

1:41:51

and you see some of these top teams. They are pitching from fifty four

1:41:55

feet away, and you have kids that are throwing eighty one miles an hour

1:41:59

from fifty four fet which is equivalent of the mid nineties, and from the one hundred and six inches. Yeah, and now my team is fourteen you

1:42:05

and the twenty twenty eight class is loaded. There is talent all across this

1:42:09

country. I'm telling you, when this twenty twenty eight class gets the juniors

1:42:12

and seniors, there are going to be tons of draft picks in this class.

1:42:15

There are from this state. Yes, yeah, there are kids right

1:42:18

now at fourteen years old that are sitting between eighty seven and eighty nine miles

1:42:23

an hour. As a fourteen year old, you think about that, How

1:42:27

can a fourteen you body be able to throw eighty seven, eighty eight miles

1:42:31

an hour, eighty nine miles an hour. One of them is striker Pence.

1:42:34

I believe he's one hundred Pence's nephew. He hit eighty nine in a

1:42:39

tournament here in Houston a couple of weeks ago, eighty nine miles an hour

1:42:42

at fourteen years old. I'm not I will never ever wish ill upon any

1:42:45

kid, But I just feel like the kids that are already hitting that are

1:42:48

destined for an arm entright down the road. But how do you sustain that?

1:42:51

I don't know. That's my thing. It looks great, and it

1:42:55

gets you drafted. And if he sustain that gets you your first round pick,

1:42:58

and everybody's raving about's great. And he may be a pitture too. A hundred pence knows baseball obviously, we've seen it is. He may be

1:43:04

a pitcher and a thrower. But I go back to the generation of the

1:43:09

not degeneration player. But generating that explosiveness through the pit when you're pushing out

1:43:14

there, all that power that you generate, is it? You know that

1:43:18

the torque of the upper body, the lower body, the lower body mechanics

1:43:21

to generate that. I call it with my quarterbacks. There's a there's a

1:43:25

fine line between from the waist up having a quiet, silent, quiet upper

1:43:30

body and a violent lower half. I don't want it the other way around.

1:43:34

A silent lower body now silent meaning your mechanics are so good you're not

1:43:39

wasting motion. But a quiet lower body with a with moving parts and a

1:43:45

and a very loud upper body, you're you're you're begging for trouble because the

1:43:48

torque and the snap and that when you reverse it, violent lower half with

1:43:54

a quiet upper half. We're on the right path, right, but you're

1:43:57

exactly right. You're ramping it, which would be the equivalent of sixty mid

1:44:00

nineties to push in one hundred miles an hour. It's not just okay,

1:44:03

you topped out at that and you got to it. You hit it staying

1:44:06

there because once they hit it, Brian, you ain't going back to the

1:44:10

two Carroen diamond. You want the five Carroen diamond. Fire there. You

1:44:13

do the sustaining of it and the sustaining of those mechanics that allow you to

1:44:16

get the proper rest but generate that kind of velocity for so long. Those

1:44:21

guys are few and far between. So that's why when you get a fourteen

1:44:25

or a twelve year old, the mechanics at a young age to I don't

1:44:30

have probably if you can throw a hundred, but that explosiveness coming like Clemmens and again, Nolan Ryan, go back and Tom sever and watch they they're

1:44:39

push off the mound and even Vertlander and so listen and Vertlander's been a picture

1:44:44

with vlo Verlander in his prime was pumping it at a hundred right, ninety

1:44:47

nine hundred when he was in Detroit. So, but he's also like a

1:44:51

quarterback that loses a little velocity. What do you got to You got to

1:44:54

just to be a you got to adjust to the Greg Maddox view, throwing

1:44:58

strikes inaccurate. So yeah, it's how we get to that velocity to sustain

1:45:03

it. It is more my concern then we don't just wake up and some

1:45:08

guy fell off a turn up truck in his land and throwing one hundred and

1:45:10

two in baseball and didn't pitch a little league or somewhere. That velocity was

1:45:14

putting into his head and he had to do it. The question is is it velocity that's done the right way or velocity has done because you're a freaking

1:45:19

nature right, there's a big difference. And there's a lot of DNA that's

1:45:23

got to be involved in it as well. Come on, dude, you

1:45:25

know then, why isn't every six, five, two hundred and twenty five

1:45:28

pound pitcher able to throw a hundred. Yeah, because mechanics DNA. And

1:45:30

then you get Pedro Martinez it's one hundred, or tim LINZCM it's one hundred

1:45:35

and sixty five pounds, seventy pounds, dripping wet and pumping at one hundred.

1:45:39

Did you see Zach EDI's high school like recruiting film for when he tried

1:45:44

to pitch that perfect game seven to four and he went it was like six

1:45:48

' ten or whatever. He was throwing like seventy nine miles an hour.

1:45:51

You'd think, oh, six' ten, that's ranged Ghridge, you should

1:45:55

be throwing a hundred. Dude could barely hit eighty miles an hour. But

1:45:58

you know what happens to is they tell you that, hey, dude, come on, we got to get more velo at you. What do you

1:46:02

do? You start to become a thrower and not a pitcher. He chose

1:46:06

the right sport. Yeah, there's no there's no doubt about it. Seven

1:48:33

we have seen, Uri Perez, Shane Bieber, Spencer Strider. Those are

the three latest in the last forty eight hours to go down with elbow injuries.

1:48:41

Two of those three, in Perez and Bieber, are gonna have Tommy

1:48:53

Shane McClanahan, Walker Bueler, Lucas Gielito, Felix Bautista, Dustin May,

1:48:58

Andrew Paynter, Shane Boss, K Rocker, and of course Garrett Cole.

1:49:02

And then just yesterday from er Valdez scratch from his start with elbow soreness.

1:49:08

That's led us to how did we get here? How does it start?

1:49:11

Where does it come from? Well, Sean and I discussing youth baseball,

1:49:15

playing year round, everybody's told you you got to throw as hard as you

1:49:18

can, spin rate, so forth and so on, and then in major

1:49:20

League baseball, I think the pitch clock also needs to be discussed. In

1:49:25

what we have seen in an uptick of of of injuries. But I think

1:49:30

that well talked about. I don't believe that's the biggest reason though, that's

1:49:32

no way, that's not the big seconds for extra seconds, But I do

1:49:36

believe it's part, oh yeah, a part of this issue, breaking the

1:49:41

routine. I hate the pitch clock, don't Well, if this keeps up

1:49:45

and then I start to fight for it, they're going to take it away. I would rather see the best pitchers in baseball stay healthy and spend seven

1:49:53

extra minutes watching the game. Yeah, I agree. I mean, I

1:49:56

look, Ronelle Blanco is no hitter the other night two hours and one minute.

1:50:00

That's great, phenomenal. You know what I was going to say about

1:50:02

that and watching him pitch. I meant to mention that the other day,

1:50:08

right after his start when he came back. Was it on Monday? Yeah?

1:50:12

I love he gets the ball steps on I think pitch clock or not.

1:50:17

I almost feel like that's his rhythm. Yeah, great tempo. Yeah,

1:50:19

his tempo of getting the ball stepping back on the rubber doesn't let a

1:50:24

whole lot of thoughts enter his mind. Boom pitch. For some it works,

1:50:27

some it may not. Some take a lot of time grab the rosin

1:50:30

in and they're just taking their doing their thing, and I get their routine as well. I'll watch. I'll spend ten extra minutes watching a baseball game

1:50:35

if we're going to preserve a guy's arm. If that's if that they if

1:50:39

it's determined that that's a big deciding factor is a pitch clock, then go

1:50:44

back to letting these guys take their time and hope that the games, if

1:50:47

they're three to five to seven minutes longer, they're not going to last an

1:50:49

hour longer. If it's good baseball, you're watching it, whether it's ten

1:50:53

minutes longer, ten minutes shorter. Now, when you get a great performance

1:50:56

like him, but it doesn't matter with Blanco, he steps up, gets

1:51:00

the ball and throw strikes. I love. It's like when you used to

1:51:02

watch Mark Burley pitch right. I mean there's just certain guys get the ball

1:51:05

and they go and you if you get a two hour and fifteen minute game,

1:51:09

that's that's like twenty minutes too long for those type of guys. I

1:51:13

love. And it helps to throw strikes, and Blanco's been doing that. But he gets the ball, gets on the rubber. But there's not a

1:51:17

whole lot of time in between, like his style seven one, three,

1:51:20

five, seven ninety. Let's get out to q Q. What's going on?

1:51:26

What's going on? Fel. It's a long time no talk, man,

1:51:29

but I had to chime in today. Man. First of all,

1:51:31

I wanted to say, Brian, your knowledge of baseball and Sean your knowledge

1:51:36

of football makes y'all a perfect compliment for a show. And of course you

1:51:43

know y'all, I'll give y'all take on other sports. But uh, Sean,

1:51:47

you amaze me man, because you know, I coached and played baseball

1:51:55

for a long time. And when you mentioned the wasted motion and stuff,

1:51:59

that's what I from day one to day two, you know, and I think about some great hitters like Tony Gwenn, Rod Carew, Pete Rose guy.

1:52:12

Guys probably never heard of Bill Matt Locke, a three times matter captain.

1:52:16

Is theres people even know about Dog Pittsburgh. Yeah, Dodger, no

1:52:23

motion, no wasting more. Well, you know you have to be probably

1:52:26

over forty five, right, yeah, And I just want to know when

1:52:30

you was given that analysis of that, man, it made me think of

1:52:33

all those great hitters with the short swing, sweet motion, you know,

1:52:38

and uh, I just have to call in because of that that that clown

1:52:43

earlier to day. Man, y'all guys are great for radio. You let

1:52:47

people express themselves. They even show what they do know or how ignorant they

1:52:53

are by some of their statements. So to Jose or Joe blow or whatever

1:52:58

is, blow these nuts and don't appreciate it you thank you. It's great

1:53:03

to hear from you easily grind and I love it. And you know what's

1:53:08

funny about you and I? You like football probably a little. I mean

1:53:12

you like football more than I do, and I like we both love each

1:53:15

other's with the training we do. We both love all the sports. But

1:53:18

I would say that, man, you love and I love basically it's crazy

1:53:23

how we both love the other sport, maybe even more than our own.

1:53:26

It's interesting. But thank you you that these nuts never die. What do

1:53:31

they say? These nuts carry they do it lives and it always will.

1:53:35

It's the gift that keeps on getting is. Let's talk to John real quick,

1:53:39

be for we get a break. John. What's up? John?

1:53:45

John? Here? Yo, you're on air? John? What's up?

1:53:50

Well? I was just trying to respond to Sean's comment about there are throwers,

1:53:57

and there are pictures. I would invite everybody to go to YouTube and

1:54:03

watch Sandy Kofa's retirement speech. For five years, he was wild, he

1:54:13

could not you know, he was a prober. On his worst day,

1:54:16

he just couldn't throw strikes. And then finally somebody convinced him, you don't

1:54:24

have to throw this hard to get these batters out, and that's when he

1:54:29

became Sandy Kofax. And I will say thank you, and I'll hang up

1:54:36

and listen, thank you, John appreciate it. Yeah, like I said,

1:54:39

then there is a difference. Don't be misled. Pictures and throwers.

1:54:43

Quarterbacks and throwers are different. And I'll take ninety four and location and quarterback

1:54:50

play, no wasted motion, timing, anticipation in quarterback play, accuracy as

1:54:57

well as location and throwing st with a pitcher. Give me ninety four throw

1:55:01

strikes over ninety nine, and I call him sometimers. When you're sometimes around

1:55:06

the strike zoning you're sometimes not. I'll take ninety four, ninety three and

1:55:10

a strike thrower every single day of the week. Now, like I said,

1:55:14

if you get Randy Johnson or a guy who can throw it one hundred and throw strikes. Well, God bless you. They many of those guys

1:55:19

that we get so throwing. Randy Johnson was the same as Cofax when it

1:55:24

came to struggling strikes early, then becoming nothing but a strike thrower. And

1:55:28

then when they wanted to ramp up and pump at one hundred miles an hour, especially RJ. When it came to velocity at six eleven, he uncoil

1:55:34

six and he's into catcher's glove anyway, So just be accurate with it.

1:55:39

And he was, and he polished his game and became and you know his

1:55:42

mechanics, he threw it different. But why would you change? It's like

1:55:44

Matthew Stafford. Why am I changing Matthew Stafford's Stafford's arm angle when he's been

1:55:47

a pro bowls, won a Super Bowl at thirty five. If I'm changing

1:55:50

arm angle, I'm an idiot. Yeah you're not doing that. But you know what I'm doing. Yeah, I'm getting his lower half in position to

1:55:56

be able to put to adjust to the arm angle. So it's accurate.

1:56:00

Love good lower half, you know what I mean? Who doesn't? Who doesn't? That's why I say give me violence and explosiveness in the lower half

1:56:06

in every walk of life. Everything you do, give me the violence on

1:56:11

the lower half. There you go. All right, we'll continue this discussion

1:56:15

this thread that Alex would MLB champion mob World Twie heard this. I'm excited

1:56:18

to hear what he has to say about. This is off season training.

1:56:21

Yeah, it's the off season work for pitchers and how it's completely changed from

1:56:25

when he got into Major League Baseball. That's next on sports Stock seven ninety.

1:58:11

the Picture Injuries in Baseball. Let's talk to Mike before we get to

1:58:18

this thread from Alex Wood. Mike, welcome in. Hey, how you

1:58:23

doing, Brian? How you doing? Sean? Just wanted to check in

1:58:26

on the pitchclock debate. You know, I'm fifty eight years old. I'm

1:58:31

a baseball purist so to speak. I followed it all my life. I

1:58:34

played it, enjoyed it, and I do agree that the pitchclock they may

1:58:41

have gone to the extreme. But I mean, you know, let's be

1:58:44

honest, in my opinion, something had to be done. These these you

1:58:47

know, eight to nine minute at bats where the pitcher's stepping off and the

1:58:51

batter's stepping out and they're doing this cat and mouse game. It got to

1:58:55

the point where it's just brutal to watch. So that's fair. Do I

1:59:00

I think that they maybe went to the extreme with this fifteen seconds with nobody

1:59:02

on in twenty seconds with runners on base. Yeah, I think they did.

1:59:06

There's got to be a happy medium in there somewhere because the game was

1:59:10

quite frankly buying for the younger generation. I know people don't really like to

1:59:14

hear that, but when when young people were tuning in and it took five

1:59:16

hours and twenty two minutes to watch a baseball game, they just weren't doing

1:59:18

it. So I don't know how that comes into play, like you guys

1:59:23

were talking about with the injuries, but I think they need to tweak it

1:59:27

where maybe you know, what would be wrong with giving the picture a minute

1:59:30

instead of fifteen? Say, I mean it's it's not gonna I mean what

1:59:33

they did decrease the time of an average game to twenty four minutes. Is

1:59:38

that really really going to hurt anything? To give the picture a little more

1:59:42

time and where you still don't have the cat and mouse game when you got

1:59:45

ten minute that bats. But I just that's just my opinion. They just

1:59:47

want to get you. Yeah, Mike, listen, if we're watching good

1:59:49

baseball and they have and it takes five more minutes, because for a fair

1:59:56

game to end, if you like you, you mentioned you being a baseball

1:59:59

pierce, You're still going to watch it. And the opposite is true.

2:00:02

If it's a horrible game, sloppy, bad baseball, if it's done in

2:00:09

an hour and fifty minutes, we're gonna wipe our brow and say, man,

2:00:11

thank goodness. But you know what, you're still not gonna want to

2:00:13

watch it. So I'm with you. A little adjustment's fine, and there's

2:00:16

got to be a happy medium somewhere. But you guys, you guys,

2:00:19

remember those exchanges, those you know, those classic I mean, have them.

2:00:24

Those classic exchanges were that one at bat in twenty nineteen. It went

2:00:28

on for nine minutes. Yeah, it's too long, there's no there's got

2:00:30

to be a fine line between the two, and it usually lands somewhere in between where neither one of where we can move the game along without you guys

2:00:38

getting in your one on one ego battle at pitcher hitter, right, just

2:00:41

like when guys like no more Garcia Para who I love, but in and

2:00:45

out and all the little quirks, get your ass in the batter's box,

2:00:47

do your quirks, and let's go play exactly. I'm with you, one

2:00:50

hundred percent right, But yeah, there's got to be a happy medium.

2:00:54

But I get what you guys are saying. I mean, I'm with Brian,

2:00:56

and you know he played obviously a lot more baseball than I ever did.

2:00:59

But you know, the you know this this fifteen seconds, twenty seconds,

2:01:03

that's a bit, that's a bit much. But you guys have a

2:01:05

great day. Appreciate it, Mike, thank you. Which you don't want

2:01:08

to. You don't want to be turned it into a sprill on the mound.

2:01:11

No, I don't. I think I'm a marathon though there's a fine

2:01:13

line. It's not the one hundred, Yeah it is. It's what it

2:01:15

needs to be. And I think what Mike said is very fair. I

2:01:18

think they did go to the extreme. And when I say I hate the

2:01:20

pitchclock, I hate the pitchclock in the sense of now we're seeing injuries,

2:01:24

and I do believe in my opinion that the part of the reason to blame

2:01:28

for these injuries is not just the pitchclock, but it also has something to

2:01:31

do with it. Oh yeah, it's part of the problem. It's a

2:01:35

part of it's it's a part of the problem. And when you got guys

2:01:38

like uh Tyler glass now, Justin Verlander and Garrett Cole also saying that that

2:01:44

that plays a role in it. Part of it. Well, then they're

2:01:47

they're there at the big league level, and there's some of the best arms

2:01:49

in baseball and have been for the last ten to fifteen years. So it's

2:01:54

rarely one reason why something goes wrong. There's usually a and that's one of

2:02:00

the reasons, ye that they're struggling with it. And I want my I'd

2:02:03

want my players on the mount so fat there's an adjustment of five second adjustment

2:02:08

or eight second adjustment, make it. I think there could be a happy

2:02:11

medium, and baseball changes rules like they wake up in the morning and you're

2:02:15

a eate, so change to you. You can adjust this, and you

2:02:17

can do it now. I don't need to wait till next offseason. No,

2:02:21

you don't. You can do it now and and and then you have

2:02:24

a rules committee that can change it. Well, why can't we do this?

2:02:27

Let me take it one step further along with what Mike's saying, Well,

2:02:30

why can't we do what we do to golfers. You've got a warning,

2:02:34

you know, if you're taking five minutes and you're looking and we're warned

2:02:38

the group ahead the holes open. We're in a tournament. There's three groups

2:02:41

stand a hole on PGA tour and driving the other players crazy. You're taking

2:02:44

everybody out of the rhythm. You're a disruptive prick. Get it moving.

2:02:48

Same thing here. Why can't you start start hitting them in the wallet.

2:02:53

If you're the guy who we've warned and the umpire's warned, you have the

2:02:56

ball and to strike, and it keeps happening, I don't know, give

2:03:00

him the heave hole, then put a little stress on him that way that

2:03:02

they'll pitch with urgency, but not take a nine minute at bat. Yeah.

2:03:09

Now, if you're throwing strikes and the guys just fouling him off,

2:03:12

that's just good baseball. B There you go, Yeah, there you go.

2:03:15

Let's talk to Anthony real quick. Anthony, what's going on? Hey,

2:03:18

good morning guys. Hey. I wanted to start by saying Seth Martinez

2:03:24

was absolutely incredible last night, But I wonder if the if the contrary is

2:03:30

true as well as you guys think that the pitchcock may be impacting older players

2:03:38

such as Jose Bray. You, I mean, last night was miserable to

2:03:44

watch on his end I mean we had first and third with two outs and

2:03:46

he hits the lazy pop up the second uh, and then be a bat

2:03:50

in the seventh inning was even worse where he just kind of waved at those

2:03:55

two sliders that were six inches off the plate. Just curious if you think

2:04:00

that that that the faster paced game may be having an impact on these older

2:04:05

players in the batter's box as well. Appreciate Anthony routine. Probably, Yeah,

2:04:13

I was listening to the watching real quick the other part of the listen

2:04:16

to the begin opening part of the game last night. How two bay swings

2:04:19

is the first pitch, and they were talking about Jordon in the too hole.

2:04:23

Now Jordon hit with his eyes closed, it appears, but they made

2:04:28

the point, now you've take it however you want. I'm not saying I

2:04:30

agree or disagree, but they're saying, do you think that Jordon is he

2:04:34

a guy that how long he stays? We've talked about tool moving back,

2:04:38

so he's not in a position to have to knowing there's a free swinger in

2:04:42

front of him. They were making the point. For whatever reason, the

2:04:45

broadcast crew on the television broadcast about Jordon did not having the time for him

2:04:51

to settle in like he likes to that that when you got a free swinger

2:04:57

in the leadoff hole and you're following him up. You're setting there going through

2:05:00

your teams, the three or four guy and you go and you're waiting for your time here boom you go and putting your bat anglos on, you're right

2:05:04

in the bats box. Well, it doesn't seem to be affected him, but they made the point before. What's he do the second they say it

2:05:11

rips one up the middle for a base hit, right or whatever and gets

2:05:13

his base hit. So I don't and in basically talking about what he's what

2:05:17

he's talking about? Your non's not an older player. But maybe that also

2:05:20

affects the hitters from their normal routine. I don't know if that's affecting a

2:05:25

bray you maybe ages, but is it affecting him? Got to get back

2:05:29

in. You don't going through your normal team. It isn't just the pitchers, but the hitters aren't getting hurt by it, meaning physically. Yeah,

2:05:34

and the pitchers appear to be going down like flies man. Yes, speaking

2:05:39

of you brought up. They could change the pitch clock today. Tony Clark,

2:05:44

President ALB Players Union guy. Yeah, he's the president of the players Union. Yep, they issued a statement. What did he say in regards

2:05:50

to these picture injuries and the picture. The Sean Salisbury Show continues on your

2:05:58

smart TV. Listen it's a Sports Talk seven ninety on any device with our

2:06:02

free iHeartRadio app. And the bats were alive and well last night, especially

2:06:09

for Bregman who got three hits and Jordon Well, Jordon could hit three hundred

2:06:14

with a broomstick and probably a five hundred foot home run. Let's get to the callers having this discussion about pitch clocks, and we'll hear from Tony Clark

2:06:21

as well, the MLB Union president, about how quickly you can change a

2:06:28

rule if it's affecting this. You want your players, not just your stars.

2:06:30

You want your players on the field. And if the pitch clock has

2:06:33

something to do with it, a minor part of the problem, then we

2:06:38

can try to eliminate that minor part of the problem and then deal with the

2:06:41

rest of it. But those injuries and armed stuff start at a young age

2:06:44

when we become throwers, not just pitchers, and it's the cumultive effect will

2:06:48

catch up. It's a very slippery slope, and it makes for great banter

2:06:54

and so grateful for all that are chiming in with us. Let's get to

2:06:56

Ben in the woodlands. Ben, welcome in man. How you doing in

2:07:00

morning? Goes Hey? Yeah. I mean the pitchclock when that first came out, I actually pitched in college, and you know you need you need.

2:07:06

I think thirty seconds is kind of where that needs to be. But

2:07:09

I mean I think as a baseball purist, I think the pickoff move thing

2:07:13

gets me more than anything or a pitcher being able to step off when they

2:07:16

need another second. I mean, the battery gets a time out right,

2:07:19

and the whole whole grand scheme of things, but the picture doesn't unless you

2:07:24

call the time out right. And so as far as like with some of

2:07:29

the spin rates and things like that, I mean, that's all a new technology, right that it's been the last five to ten years that everybody's trying

2:07:36

to chase that. I mean, I'm not gonna lie like the crap I

2:07:40

was supposed to have Tommy John and just quit playing, but I mean it's

2:07:42

like that was you know in ninety nine, in two thousand, right,

2:07:45

I mean, it's it's always it's always going to be around and as you're

2:07:49

trying to go to that next level, try to throw harder it. You

2:07:53

know, you're gonna have issues if the body's not developed. And I think

2:07:57

that's more. I think arm care and guys getting stronger, and then the

2:08:00

armcare kind of lacks. You know when you go to the gym or when

2:08:03

you were younger you were playing, like did you stretch like you were supposed

2:08:07

to all the time. And as you get those strength gains and those those

2:08:11

those speed and the velocity changes, if you're not taking care of your body

2:08:15

as a whole, it's it's more important than ever one thing. I was

2:08:18

going to ask, like y'all ever get a chance to talk to the like

2:08:22

Miller or somebody from the astros, what is going on with like our guys

2:08:26

in the bullpen throwing ninety five plus that throw nothing but sliders and changeups and

2:08:30

and off speed breaking stuff. Because they mentioned it on the on the piece

2:08:33

last night, A bray you you know, has been rlying too much on the slider and I looked it up. He throws the slider sixty percent of

2:08:39

the time as his his fastball forty percent of the time. Same thing with

2:08:41

hater haters like fifty to fifty right now, and then Pressley throws his fastball

2:08:45

only twenty five percent of the time, right, And you're talking about guys

2:08:48

the back end, power pitchers who are in the right that are that are

2:08:52

getting away from what has been their outpitch in the past, is what you're

2:08:56

talking about. Yeah, I mean, because I mean when Strawn was here,

2:08:58

is like, hey, hard up in the zone, soft soft away,

2:09:01

soft down in the zone right right, and so now like that,

2:09:05

not last night's game, in the previous game where we lost. Last game we lost, I can't remember which one was, but it literally looked like

2:09:09

the Rangers were waiting for off speed pitches. Yeah, and that has changed

2:09:13

over the last Cup. You're a one hundred percent correct. And it's not

2:09:16

just here. It feels like it's in a lot of places, right,

2:09:20

you're seeing we see it more here, but it has a philosophy. It

2:09:24

almost feels like they're using them. Okay, the pitcher's looking fastball, I'm

2:09:26

power pitcher, fastball up, and so now I'm gonna throw more sliders,

2:09:31

more change ups, more off speed stuff and try to get them out that

2:09:35

way instead of going it'd be like anything. It'd be like a golfer that

2:09:39

hits the ball three hundred yards, always hitting the three wood off the driver,

2:09:43

off the t box. You know what I'm saying, to shorten the

2:09:45

course and going right. That's a great point. It's a great point.

2:09:48

And you see that with Framber. You saw that with Framber the last year too. I mean, guy throws ninety six with sinking fastball and then he's

2:09:54

you know this, whatever that cutter thing he throws is, it's just awful.

2:09:58

And then you know, and a lot of change ups curveball. So

2:10:01

just a thought. I don't know if that's a scouting thing or if that's

2:10:03

ass or thing or whatever, but it's sad to see guys throwing ninety five

2:10:07

plus in the back end of the bullpen that don't throw strikes or are you

2:10:11

are you know hair thrown a cement mixer to get blow a slate? Say,

2:10:16

it's just just just crazy, Ben, great great points, Thanks for

2:10:18

the call, and it is true. Everybody wants velocity, and then when

2:10:22

you got velocity, you're using other pitches and listen, you've got to have

2:10:26

more than one or those guys will tee off as we well, know,

2:10:28

but the go to up and up and hard has been you know, like

2:10:33

you mentioned hater and a bray, you where their success is. And I

2:10:37

think, and at times I do believe, we all do get too cute,

2:10:41

get too cute, getting away from what has made you a success.

2:10:45

And analytics, I'm sure has something to do with that, but and comfort

2:10:50

zone and the rest of it. But there's some phenomenal phenomenal points and about

2:10:54

pitching in the pitch clock, and you're right, the pitcher, unless you

2:10:56

call time out, doesn't get the same at least per bat where the batter

2:11:01

can step out of the box and take his time to get himself regrouped and

2:11:05

get it done. There's a lot of pressure on the pitchers. It's like on defense. We put pressure on defenses in football, and we're putting all

2:11:11

this pressure on the pitcher to get it down. Let's goull, let's go,

2:11:13

let's go, let's go. And I know the batter's got to get

2:11:16

in the box. But there's less injury possibility to a batter that's got a

2:11:20

step in early than there is to a picture. Let's get to Ruben real

2:11:22

quick in the last couple of minutes before we get to nine o'clock, Ruben, Welcome in, Ben, great call, and we will discuss that about

2:11:28

why are guys getting off their power pitching and becoming really guys that you might

2:11:33

as well throw ninety one ninety two if that's not going to be used on

2:11:37

a regular basis. And analytics has something to do with that, Ruben, what's on your mind? Man? Welcome in? Hey, good morning guys.

2:11:43

How y'all doing this morning? Real quick? I appreciate you putting again.

2:11:46

I'm sure that this morning all right. You guys may have touched on

2:11:50

it already. I've been back and forth to listening to you guys, but

2:11:52

and I'm shureing you've got some good callers this morning too. I was what

2:11:58

I was thinking too, is like these pitchers that are getting hurt or you

2:12:05

know, going through some string here early in the season. You know, so the playoff pitchers, right, these guys have been in the playoffs.

2:12:11

You know, they're getting more, more, more pitches in than other than

2:12:13

other players that are that I'm not seeing the playoffs yet, not not saying

2:12:18

that, you know that could be a reason, but you know the rest

2:12:22

you know, they're not probably not getting enough enough rest or healing throughout the

2:12:28

throughout the off season compared to somebody that hasn't thrown as much, that hasn't

2:12:31

been to the playoffs or you know, I mean, Farmer's been there,

2:12:35

what four or five years, you know, maybe I mean we offer that number, but how many times has he thrown in those games, you know,

2:12:41

and continued throughout the seasons to where it finally kind of caught up,

2:12:46

you know, and not getting that true rest or, that true healing that

2:12:50

he needs for me. I think maybe he not doctor or anything, but

2:12:54

I'm thinking that maybe he had something already lingering there that finally caught up,

2:12:58

you know, And then the pitch clock doesn't help. I like the pitch

2:13:03

clock idea, And maybe they do need a little more time on the mound

2:13:05

to regroup, I think. But I think now you know that they're kind

2:13:11

of being forced, you know, to throw to get the ball out, you know, and and trying to make a pitch, you know, and

2:13:18

try to and try to say that arm for x amount of games. I

2:13:22

mean, it's one hundred and sixty two season, right game season, and

2:13:24

it's and and these guys are seeing, you know, a faster game.

2:13:28

So they gotta they gotta be faster, they gotta be quicker in order to

2:13:31

keep up with this clock. And I mean, I don't know me, I don't know how many times people have gone to these carnivals, you know,

2:13:37

and trying to throw that ball real fast or wherever the case may be, is not to the bout hard. And it's only seven miles and honor

2:13:41

and these guys, so many guys are giving a hundred plus, you know,

2:13:46

And that's I mean, that's huge. That's a big strain on that

2:13:48

arm. That's all I was really getting at. I mean, I hope

2:13:52

he gets better on this. I hope he he heals quick. But you

2:13:56

know, I and this is pretty scary to see somebody big, big leaguers,

2:14:01

these guys that have been in the playoffs consistently and now they're hurt.

2:14:03

You know, Garrett, you got Verlander, you got provert Spider. But

2:14:07

all that that's really my tick on the guys. I'll hang up with you.

2:14:11

All guys will. And it's only logical. It's like the wear and

2:14:15

tear, right, I mean, the more you're playing in the postseason, which is the bonus you want and what you want to do, the more

2:14:20

times you're getting extra pitches and extra starts and extra wear and tear in the

2:14:24

arm. That's why it gets back to Alex Wood talking about what goes on

2:14:28

in the off season, which we got to hit in the nine o'clock hour.

2:14:30

Yeah, let's get to that next as we get into the nine o'clock URBN. Thank you right here on Sports Talk seventy kd E Houston, KTDC

2:14:37

2:15:03

Okay, let's do this. Sean Salisbury to USC Truth, longtime friend,

2:15:09

Shawn Salisbury, Brian Lon Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sean Salisbury

2:15:15

Show. One of the big men for University Houston basketball is going to return

2:15:22

for his final season of eligibility. We're talking about the pitcher injuries in Major

2:15:28

League Baseball. Fromer Valdez had to return to Houston yesterday to get his elbow

2:15:33

evaluated by team doctors. He has elbow soreness. There's a long list of

2:15:39

big time pitchers in Major League Baseball that have gone down to elbow injuries.

2:15:43

I've named him a couple of different times. Garrett Cole's one of them,

2:15:46

Dustin May. I mean, the list goes on and on and on.

2:15:50

So Alex Wood put out this really interesting thread yesterday on Twitter in regards to

2:15:58

how he feels about the arm injuries in Major League Baseball. Alex would if

2:16:03

you forget, I believe he entered Major League Baseball in twenty twelve. And

2:16:13

let's see, he has been in the league. Nice crafty left hander.

2:16:18

Yeah, he's been in the league since twenty thirteen. Drafted in twenty twelve,

2:16:24

made it to the Big League's for Atlanta in twenty thirteen. So he's

2:16:28

been in the league for twelve years. He's with Oakland now, still pitching.

2:16:33

Obviously won a championship at some point in his career. I believe it

2:16:39

was. He wasn't a twenty twenty Dodger, was he? He was?

2:16:43

So there you go. Yep, So he won the Mickey Mouse Championship.

2:16:48

WHOA, that's not towards him, It's just towards the dog, all right,

2:16:52

all right? If we won it here, I would still be sitting

2:16:56

here saying it was a sixty game season. Come on, now, there you go, kind of like the Bubble Championship. No one even talks about

2:17:03

Lakers. Yeah, so Bubble year was a great It was a great Los

2:17:07

Angeles years. That was. Yeah. Hey, Dodgers and Lakers. They

2:17:11

dominated, they did, didn't they partially? Right? Partially? Yeah,

2:17:16

there you go. I mean you think about a sixth anyway? No,

2:17:20

we can go off on a tangent. Yeah, all right, let's get to this thread. So he leave the home state alone. We'll go ahead

2:17:24

and rip the home state if you want. They got Gavin News nevermind,

2:17:28

My goodness, well would you whoa? Yeah, we're talking sports here.

2:17:31

Yeah, I know. Sorry. Something something being overlooked with the amount of

2:17:35

arm injuries recently is the fact that a huge number of players now throw at

2:17:39

moderate to high intents close to year round. This is Alex Wood. When

2:17:45

I first came into professional baseball in twenty twelve, as soon as the season ended, I usually wouldn't touch a baseball until at least December, and I

2:17:50

definitely wouldn't be off a mount until at least sometime in January. I knew

2:17:54

a few veteran players all star type players that wouldn't even throw their first bullpen

2:17:58

until they got to spring training in February. If you told a young player

2:18:03

today that they had to take eight to ten weeks off throwing in the off season and couldn't touch a mound until at least the middle of January, they

2:18:09

would think you were crazy. Part of the reason for the year round throwing

2:18:13

is speculation out there that this can actually be beneficial with regard to injury prevention.

2:18:18

Whether that's true or not, I don't know. The other aspect is the competition part. Guys are pushing the element envelope like never before. When

2:18:26

it first came into the league, if you were dedicated in hard working it

2:18:28

was an advantage, because in my opinion, not everybody was. Now,

2:18:31

if you aren't hardworking, discipline, completely dedicated to the game, you are

2:18:33

not lasting. And with that, the level slash amount of training has grown.

2:18:39

Now guys have tangible blueprints to be able to try and increase velocity.

2:18:41

They have tangible blueprints to create new pitches, but most of this is done

2:18:46

on the mound, and the more you're on the mound throwing at higher intent

2:18:48

levels, the more risk you're taking In long term. Right. He goes

2:18:52

on and on the stress levels on your arm. It's under duress all the

2:18:56

time. Yeah, and at a young age. Okay, And then he

2:19:01

also says, I'm just scrolling through. He's got four or five more tweets.

2:19:03

And the crazy thing is that all of these guys pushing the envelope like

2:19:07

this, probably not a single one of them would change the thing because they're

2:19:11

doing what they think needs to be done in order to have a long,

2:19:15

impactful career. So how do you fix it? I'm not really sure there

2:19:18

is there is, or ever will be a concrete answer. My only thought

2:19:22

is that muscle fatigue has a major correlation to injuries. So at a minimum,

2:19:24

during the actual season, how does the league and how do teams maximize

2:19:28

recovery and reduce fatigue. There's a couple layers to this. One is what

2:19:33

happens when you get fatigued, is your mechanics change, And when your chan

2:19:39

muscle fatigue. When your mechanics change, you go in different slots, different

2:19:43

areas, and you're just and you're still taxing it with constant, constant underdurest

2:19:50

high intensity stuff. It can't keep up. It's just that simple. I

2:19:56

mean if you drive, you know, a vehicle in the one hundred and

2:20:01

fifteen degree weather across the country, back and forth, back and forth,

2:20:03

back and forth, and driving one hundred and twenty miles an hour. Eventually,

2:20:07

guess what's gonna happen? The damn damn engine's gonna say, your engine's

2:20:09

gonna blow, right, engine. And it's the same thing. It's the

2:20:13

and pitching has something to do with it. I'll tell you when Alex Wood

2:20:16

say, well, I don't know the answer. And as far as how

2:20:18

to fix it, part of it is the people who are coaching you and

2:20:24

making sure that, hey, you don't need to throw high intensity. You

2:20:28

can take eight to six to eight weeks off, eight to ten weeks off,

2:20:31

especially if you're fourteen. There's a lot of things you can do.

2:20:37

You know the old story when they talk about you watch and your study and you visualize a guy shooting free throws, and sometimes a guy coming out who

2:20:43

didn't shoot a free throw but visualized shooting it shot was always a higher percentage

2:20:48

than the guy who practiced shooting it every day. There is something to be said for that's the same thing here. You can learn from other people's not

2:20:54

only mistakes from their successes. I learn a lot. I'm a visual guy.

2:20:58

I learn a lot watching Tom Brady's mechanic and football without applying them to

2:21:01

myself and saying, Okay, k b E Houston, k t V HD

2:21:05

two Houston, iHeart radio station. How about the Masters. That's a rocket.

2:21:11

This is Sports Talk seven ninety, your home for your home teams,

2:21:16

driven by that classic elite buick GMC Studios for the elite car buying experience.

2:21:24

Salisbury Salsbury, Houston. Okay, let's do this. Sewan Salisbury to usc

2:21:35

true longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Ryan Lima, go Lobos. This is

2:21:41

the Sewan Salisbury Show for Astros Baseball. Yukon wins the men's national title in

2:21:50

college basketball. Jawan Roberts, one of the big men for University Houston basketball,

2:21:54

is going to return for his final season of eligibility. We're talking about

2:21:58

the pitch your injuries in Major League Baseball. Fromer Valdez had a return to

2:22:03

Houston yesterday to get his elbow evaluated by team doctors. He has elbow soreness.

2:22:11

There's a long list of big time pitchers in Major League Baseball that have

2:22:15

gone down to elbow injuries. I've named him a couple of different times,

2:22:20

Garrett Coles one of them, Dustin May. I mean, the list goes

2:22:22

on and on and on. So Alex would put out this really interesting thread

2:22:28

yesterday on Twitter in regards to how he feels about the arm injuries in Major

2:22:35

League Baseball. Alex would, if you forget, I believe he entered Major

2:22:41

League Baseball in twenty twelve, and let's see, he has been in the

2:22:50

league. Nice crafty left hander. Yeah, he's been in the league since

2:22:54

twenty thirteen. Drafted in twenty twelve, made it to the Big League's were

2:23:00

Atlanta in twenty thirteen. So he's been in the league for twelve years.

2:23:03

He's with Oakland now, still pitching. Obviously won a championship at some point

2:23:11

in his career. I believe it was. He wasn't a twenty twenty Dodger,

2:23:16

was he? He was? So there you go, yep, So

2:23:20

he won the Mickey Mouse Championship. Whoa, whoa. That's not towards him,

2:23:24

it's just towards the die dog. All right, all right, if

2:23:26

we want it here, what would I would still be sitting here saying it

2:23:30

was a sixty game season. Come on, now, there you go, kind of like the Bubble Championships. One even talks about Lakers. Yeah,

2:23:37

so Bubble year was a great It was a great Los Angeles years. That

2:23:41

was. Yeah. Hey, Dodgers and Lakers. They dominated, they did,

2:23:46

didn't they? Sure it did partially right, partially? Yeah, there

2:23:50

you go. I mean you think about a sixth any No, we can

2:23:54

go off on a tangent. Yeah, all right, let's get to this threat. So he leave the home state alone. We'll go ahead and rip

2:23:58

the home state if you want. Yeah, they got Gavin news Ne nevermind,

2:24:01

My goodness, well would you whoa? Yeah, we're talking sports here.

2:24:05

Yeah, I know. Sorry. Something being overlooked with the amount of

2:24:09

arm injuries recently is the fact that a huge number of players now throw at

2:24:13

moderate to high intents close to year round. This is Alex Wood. When

2:24:18

I first came into professional baseball in twenty twelve, as soon as the season

2:24:20

ended, I usually wouldn't touch a baseball until at least December, and I

2:24:24

definitely wouldn't be off a mount until at least sometime in January. I knew

2:24:28

a few veteran players, all star type players that wouldn't even throw their first

2:24:31

bullpen until they got to spring training in February. If you told a young

2:24:35

player today that they had to take eight to ten weeks off throwing in the

2:24:39

offseason and couldn't touch a mound until at least the middle of January, they

2:24:43

would think you were crazy. Part of the reason for the year round throwing

2:24:46

is speculation out there that this can actually be beneficial with regard to injury prevention.

2:24:52

Whether that's true or not, I don't know. The other aspect is the competition part. Guys are pushing the elephant envelope like never before. When

2:25:00

came into the league, if you were dedicated in hard working, it was an advantage because in my opinion, not everybody was. Now, if you

2:25:05

aren't hardworking, discipline, completely dedicated to the game, you are not lasting.

2:25:09

And with that, the level slash amount of training has grown. Now

2:25:13

guys have tangible blueprints to be able to try and increase velocity. They have

2:25:16

tangible blueprints to create new pitches, but most of this is done on the

2:25:20

mound, and the more you're on the mound throwing at higher intent levels,

2:25:22

the more risk you're taking in long term. Right, he goes on and

2:25:26

on the stress levels on your arm. It's under duress all the time.

2:25:30

Yeah, and at a young age. Okay, And then he also says,

2:25:35

I'm just scrolling through. He's got four or five more tweets. And the crazy thing is that all of these guys pushing the envelope like this,

2:25:41

probably not a single one of them would change a thing because they're doing what

2:25:46

they think needs to be done in order to have a long, impactful career.

2:25:50

So how do you fix it? I'm not really sure there is there

2:25:52

is, or ever will be a concrete answer. My only thought is that

2:25:56

muscle fatigue has a major correlation to injuries. So at a minimum, during

2:25:58

the act full season, how does the league and how do teams maximize recovery

2:26:03

and reduce fatigue. There's a couple layers to this. One is what happens

2:26:07

when you get fatigued, is your mechanics change, and when your mcan muscle

2:26:13

fatigue. When your mechanics change, you go in different slots, different areas

2:26:18

streight, and you're just and you're still taxing it with constant, constant underdurest

2:26:24

high intensity stuff. It can't keep up. It's just it's just that simple.

2:26:31

I mean if you if you drive, you know, a vehicle in

2:26:33

the one hundred and fifteen degree weather across the country, back and forth,

2:26:37

back and forth, back and forth, and driving one hundred and twenty miles

2:26:39

an hour. Eventually, guess what's going to happen? The damn damn engine's

2:26:43

gonna engine is gonna blow, right engine. And it's the same thing.

2:26:46

It's the and pitching has something to do with it. I'll tell you when

2:26:50

Alex would say, well, I don't know the answer. And as far as how to fix it, part of it is the people who are coaching

2:26:56

you and and making sure that, hey, you don't need to throw high

2:27:01

intensity. You can take eight to six to eight weeks off, eight to

2:27:03

ten weeks off, especially if you're fourteen. There's a lot of things you

2:27:09

can do. You know the old story when they talk about you watch and

2:27:13

your study and you visualize a guy shooting free throws, and sometimes a guy

2:27:16

coming out who didn't shoot a free throw but visualized shooting it shot was always

2:27:20

a higher percentage than the guy who practiced shooting it every day. There is

2:27:24

something to be said for that's the same thing here. You can learn from other people's not only mistakes, from their successes. I learn a lot.

2:27:31

I'm a visual guy. I learn a lot watching Tom Brady's mechanics in football

2:27:33

without applying them to myself and saying, okay, when I go and apply

2:27:37

him. It doesn't mean to have to be dressed. You want to put yourself under dress situations when you can. It doesn't have to be three hundred

2:27:43

and sixty five days a year. So he is right. And the of

2:27:46

training and putting yourself in position, high octane stuff. Two things real quick.

2:27:52

I'm watching the Cubs play Dodgers the other day, two days ago,

2:27:56

and you know Dansby Swanson doesn't take a groundball until I'm talking about now,

2:28:00

we're talking about short stop. Doesn't take ground ball till spring training, doesn't

2:28:03

take one of the off season. He just takes everything off take, does

2:28:05

not take ground ball in the office. He has that why the wear and

2:28:09

tear, just the constant body like could catcher in a crouch all the time.

2:28:13

Now he goes and grinds like crazy and doing drills during spring training and

2:28:16

the rest of it and gets plenty of working. But they said on the

2:28:20

broadcast, doesn't take ground baller in the off season because preserving his body and

2:28:22

a lot of what Alex would saying for pictures. Now, you're not going

2:28:26

to preach that to a fourteen year old kid, you know. But he's

2:28:28

at the stage of his career. He knows his body and knows that I

2:28:31

don't need to take a bunch of ground balls. I tell you the story

2:28:33

about Dan Fouts. Never my rookie year in the NFL. Dan Fouts is

2:28:37

a veteran. He's at the end of his career, said. Dan asked him a simple question. He and Charlie Joyner are playing racquetball at the club

2:28:43

we worked out at, and he said, the great wide receiver, I

2:28:46

said, Dan, what do you do in the off season. I'm a

2:28:48

guy asking everybody questions. I'm a rookie trying to get all the answers. I can you know what he said to me, And I've said this,

2:28:54

boy, he said, Sean, I don't pick up a ball in the

2:28:56

off season. Now, he said, because Seawan, you're you got to

2:29:00

compete for your job right now, and get ready, he goes, I'm

2:29:03

at the point. John Hadel, the Great John Hadel, had told him

2:29:07

the arms only got so many throws in it. Dan Founts didn't pick a ballt in with training camp and that was a lot of quarterbacks did that.

2:29:13

Why because they wanted to ramp up at the right time. Now times have

2:29:18

changed and the rest of it. But what helps will be the people who

2:29:22

coach and train these guys, especially at a young age like you and you

2:29:26

do a great job of it, or me with quarterbacks, or the picture

2:29:28

and quarterback thing is so similar except the release point. You know how you

2:29:33

finish extension and all that is to be able to convince the kid. Remember

2:29:39

I told you the story about a kid I was training. I left front

2:29:41

of vacation for a week and came back. He does he couldn't wait,

2:29:46

and I trained him hard. I said, listen, we're getting close to

2:29:48

camp now, it's what we'll ramp it up we get there, and he changed his motion on one one hour session. He was playing great for he

2:29:56

was the starter going in lost the job. He couldn't and mentally when it

2:30:01

hit him, he couldn't. He couldn't get the feelback. And in two weeks they went to camp in up playing safety and a great kid and competitive

2:30:07

and a hell of a player. One week because he couldn't you feel that

2:30:13

emptied? I got to pick up a ball. No, you don't.

2:30:16

I would have told you you got to pick a bar. Brought your ass

2:30:18

with me on the trip. Settled and when I talked, I said,

2:30:20

and his dad had called me, said, Sean, I see these mechanics

2:30:24

in a week, I said, And it was one one hour session while

2:30:28

I was gone, and I came back and as quickly as I wanted to

2:30:31

feed, now I can't. Can't fix it overnight. Trying to get back

2:30:33

in the mental block and the physical together created such a block that he and

2:30:39

the backup beat him out. It was another kid that I trained and but

2:30:43

and it was a hell of a player. But my point is that it's

2:30:46

okay to rest, right, That's what Alex Wood is saying here. It

2:30:50

is okay to rest, and coaches need to be responsible and accountable at a

2:30:54

young age to tell the kid you don't have to grind three hundred and sixty

2:30:58

five days a year. Here, it's not made for I don't care.

2:31:01

What's moore to do? Does Tiger Woods go hit a golf ball three hundred

2:31:03

and sixty five days a year? No? Did Scottie Scheffler play last week.

2:31:05

No, he took the week off to get his body fresh to play,

2:31:09

and he's the best player on the world. It applies to pitching,

2:31:13

and I got news for you. A putter in your hand. I'm not

2:31:16

talking about the driver and now I know the torque in the back, but throwing ninety eight three hundred days a year. The muscle. Muscle memory is

2:31:24

one thing. Muscle fatigues another. Yeah, can't do it. You just

2:31:28

cannot do it. It's irresponsible to put the pressure on the kid to say,

2:31:33

dude, we gotta practice more. No, no, no, no,

2:31:35

no. Matter of fact, there's times when you gotta practice less. You can still visualize and watch tape and still learning, which I encourage.

2:31:43

I'm never training and if quarterback comes me he says he wants trained once every

2:31:46

day for a straight month, his mechanicals start to falter. There's nothing you

2:31:50

could do because his arm's going to be falling off, his dog on shoulder. Can't do it, man, And you know what it's like in baseball.

2:31:54

You see those pictures every day with your training. There's just too many

2:31:58

kids these days are playing year round. I shut our team down. November

2:32:01

December January. We don't do anything I tell them, take take take time

2:32:05

off, Go be a kid, Go be with your family during the holidays,

2:32:07

live it up, play video games, go play basketball if you want

2:32:09

to go play the cage once. Tell once every five or six days.

2:32:15

Get your your running in, get your lift done. Watch them. Don't

2:32:18

throw right, don't throw what to do something else. There's a lot of

2:32:20

things you can do that. Don't throw it overcord thor you're not gonna forget

2:32:22

how to throw it right in two in a month. You're just not.

2:32:26

And then when we get into like two weeks into January, then I start

2:32:31

messaging, hey, start hitting, start hitting, Start hitting. When somebody

2:32:33

tell me and tell your hands bleeve, I get it. When you get

2:32:37

the camp, I get it. But I can tell you this, there's

2:32:39

nobody out there that's ever gonna cut. You'll never convince me a dad or

2:32:41

a high school coach that it's good to do something every day when it comes

2:32:46

to sports, every day, three hundred and sixty five days, yall.

2:32:50

That's like when that guy says I'm taking the office, I'm gonna not play

2:32:54

then the bowl game because I'm gonna train. How many guys, you know,

2:32:56

lift eight hours a day none and if they do get that's what they're

2:33:00

doing. It's called the point of diminishing returns, brother, And you're setting

2:33:03

yourself up more for injury that way than you are if you did it on a normal schedule, like the normal human being does it, and then use

2:33:09

your freakish talents to combine the two. Yeah, if pro pictures are talking

2:33:13

about this, there's something to be said for old school training, brother,

2:33:18

Yeah, there is something to be said with all these new techniques to getting

2:33:24

rest. Yep, take days off? Yeah, why not take days off?

2:33:28

Talking about elbow injuries fromer Valdez elbow soreness. It's not discomfort, he's

2:33:33

not on the il. But what is going on with fromer Valdez. We'll

2:33:37

discuss the next on Sports Talk seven ninety, But first a word from my

2:35:07

show continues. What you know about that? Not much? No, I

2:35:15

haven't. Where's Sam Sambo from? We haven't heard about this, dude.

2:35:18

We haven't heard this dude in a minute seven five seven ninety, Sam,

2:35:24

glad you're alive. Brother? Why do you Why do you always go hiding?

2:35:28

Man? You want You're too busy playing golf, popping in your pjy

2:35:35

and tying, trying to raise the next generation. You know, I like

2:35:39

hearing you guys talk about these athletes and and reps and all that. I

2:35:45

mean, the Hall of Fame is full of, you know, in baseball

2:35:48

and football, people that didn't play year round and uh, you know,

2:35:54

you gotta be fresh. I'm really glad to hear you guys talking about that.

2:35:58

You know, Sean, you know my fan pretty well. You know

2:36:00

I have an eight year old, a six year old, and they got

2:36:03

plenty of time. You know, if you got it, you got it.

2:36:07

Yep. I'll be quiet, and I'm looking forward to seeing you,

2:36:11

Sean on Thursday at the ECC. Yeah. I get to close out that

2:36:16

thing. With the little speech, I'll have some laughs and some fun and

2:36:18

hopefully bring some energy and all those smart people in the room, I hopefully

2:36:22

could say something worthwhile. But I'm looking forward to it too. It'll be

2:36:26

fun to address and I ready to roll. And I'm looking forward to a

2:36:30

brother Thank you man, no doubt about it. Thank you Sam. But

2:36:37

what was a pregnant pause. He'll be there the ECC. I'm looking forward

2:36:43

to that leadership, getting to address some of the great business people in this

2:36:46

town over at the Houstonian. So that'll be nice. And thanks to Sambo.

2:36:50

He's always a good friend of the show and a good friend of ours,

2:36:54

you know. And he does have, you know, a son and a daughter. Yeah, and there is time now when he says time is

2:36:56

talk about you can go play and have fun at that age and when they're

2:37:01

even at ten years old. Everybody doesn't have to win a Little League World

2:37:03

Series at ten. It's great if you're in it. But I've always believed

2:37:09

if you have fun, you'll want to do it, you know what I'm

2:37:13

saying. If you're having fun and burnout can become a problem. As well

2:37:16

as the injuries mental, physical, emotional, all those things that come into

2:37:20

play, and then there comes a point time when you know when it's time to grind, and then there's a point in time when it's time to sit

2:37:24

back and give your mind and your body arrest. And I think both are

2:37:28

equally as important. I do. Yeah, I might have hung up on

2:37:33

him by accident, so he was letter breathe, that's all right. Sambo

2:37:37

knows where we are. He called back in. We got him. That's our guy. So I'm looking forward to addressing that crowd, though, I'm

2:37:41

saying, I think his company, Baker and Stuff will be there, So

2:37:45

I'm looking forward to saying something worthwhile on a good old speech, share some

2:37:50

stories and have some laughs. Man, it'll be good time. Excuse me

2:37:54

from er Valdez elbow soreness. You surprised I didn't use the word discomfort.

2:38:00

Better off, Soren. I guess this comfort makes me a little more a

2:38:05

little uncomfortable. I'm I'm gonna go lean on the side that it's more just

2:38:11

cautionary and that it's he's gonna be fine. My guess is he makes his

2:38:15

next start. My guess is he makes his next start. Was you think

2:38:20

he's duck in the Duck and the Rangers. No, I don't think he's

2:38:22

duck. Why would How would I know that. I'm just talking about duck

2:38:28

in the Range. I hope he got duck in the Rangers because if it

2:38:31

is that poor Hittley got he got hunted down, man, and he'll be

2:38:37

fine. Man, anybody's be rating that poor kid. Let it go.

2:38:39

He'll be all right. Matter of fact, there'll be a lesson learned and

2:38:43

probably serve him well over the course of his career. I want you know,

2:38:46

we fromer healthy would be a really nice thing. What time did that

2:38:50

news come out? So I saw Ari Alexander broke the news first of KPRC

2:38:54

Channel two Sports. Let's see what time he tweeted that out yesterday at who's

2:39:00

seventeen? So for what a six o'clock starts six five or first seven,

2:39:05

seven, ten start or whatever. So Blair Henley essentially, I'm assuming they

2:39:09

probably I would hope they told him early in the morning so he could get

2:39:13

there, so he could get there up in Dallas. Yeah yeah, Oh

2:39:16

my gosh, man, hop in your car, dude, we ain't sending

2:39:18

the private plane for you. Strobers. Little uh gets a little uh,

2:39:24

little soreness. So come on up there and uh and let's get this be

2:39:30

Like, hey man, we got you a Spirit flight up north. Dude,

2:39:33

you'd rather walk in afraid to take a Fred flintstonemobile before you get on

2:39:39

a Spirit Airline flight triple You ever flown Spirit? Never, don't ever do

2:39:43

it. It's Southwest American, Do not ever fly Spirit. Be better off

2:39:48

walking. Literally one of the worst airlines. Actually the worst airline I've ever

2:39:52

been on. I'm not even sure I know. It can't be that bad.

2:39:58

No, it's ba it's it's terrible. And it's not just because you

2:40:01

get a lady. I mean, you know the oh well this seat is

2:40:05

too tight, or it's it is first of all, every fistfight in the

2:40:11

world happens on Spirit airlines. But it is awful. That is That is

2:40:16

one. And honestly, you know, if they somebody came and said,

2:40:18

hey man, I'd really like to give you a car where you can fly

2:40:22

for free, I'd say keep it, keep it. Seriously. This yeah,

2:40:26

I don't want it. I don't know if I'll ever take one again

2:40:28

in my life. I've flown it one time and I will never do it.

2:40:30

Again, and it was to Vegas round trip. Horrible, absolutely terrible,

2:40:33

unless they have a quick shift of their paradigms and approach and safety and

2:40:39

uh control and maybe put armrest on the seats once the locker. I uh,

2:40:45

I'm not interested, dude, I as older. I honestly I like

2:40:48

driving. Yeah, I know, got to beat some places overnight. But

2:40:52

if you say, Sean, you got a week, I'm not flying.

2:40:54

If it's the United States, I will drive because I like the stop at diners. I like. I am big on that. My dad loved it,

2:41:01

and the older I get, the more I liked seeing it. I

2:41:03

don't want to be in a rush to do it all. And by the time I go to an airport and spend three and a half hours dealing with

2:41:07

all the nonsense and possible delays and weather, I'm driving along and I get

2:41:11

to get out and pee what I want, let a dog out, do

2:41:13

what I want to do, and I'm on my own program. Nah flying

2:41:18

And it's not like all I don't want to fly him afraid. I'm just

2:41:20

to the point where I'm tired of all the hell, the heckle and the

2:41:24

heckling and all the crap that goes on on airlines, and I'm not saying

2:41:28

it happens all the time. Most time, they're pretty peaceful flights on most

2:41:31

airlines most of the time. I'm just kinder and simpler. I want to

2:41:35

I like the drive, you know me, dude, I can't remember the

2:41:39

last time I flew out the West Coast. I drive. If I'm going

2:41:43

to stay there and do it, I drive man. Then I can stop

2:41:46

at Robert Trent Jones Trail. If I'm going to Orange Beach, at Alabama

2:41:48

down to Dustin, I can stop at ballparks. I want to go to

2:41:52

and be nobody's schedule. Yeah, I'm a driver. I like it.

2:41:56

Yeah, big time. Stop that mail strip club to you know again,

2:42:01

make it hale in that bitch again, make it hal again now Spirit Airlines

2:42:07

and me hard pass. Yeah, I'm gone, Yeah, see you goodbye.

continues. Hi left five point thirty on deck show right here on seven one

2:44:07

of your home four Astros baseball frommer Valdez with elbow soreness. He's going to

2:44:11

be evaluated today at some point from team doctors. He had to fly back to Houston. Yukon winsdy men's national championship in college basketball. There is a

2:44:20

University Houston basketball player that's going to return. Sean Juwan Roberts is coming back

2:44:28

for another year of University of Houston basketball. He announced that he's returning to

2:44:31

Houston to play next season. He's going to use this extra year of COVID

2:44:35

eligibility. He's reflective of the NIL push to get four of the five starters

2:44:39

back from this past season. Landon Gosling of Linking Koog's that's one of the

2:44:46

NIL collectives said quote, We've got a plan for all of these guys.

2:44:50

I've talked to Juwan almost every day since the season ended. That's a guy

2:44:54

who's put his time in and has earned it. It's huge. We've had

2:44:56

some early adopters already since launching the Run It Back campaign today, and it's

2:45:01

landed us one of our most prized players back in action. End quote.

2:45:05

Great news. Good for him, another chance to go win a national title,

2:45:09

and I would imagine no come back top five team ranked, especially if

2:45:13

they can, you know, get more of these bodies back and do we

2:45:16

know what's going to go on with us? Yeah? Yet, So he

2:45:24

has another year of eligibility, Yes, so. Fran Franchilla, fran Friscilla,

2:45:31

excuse me, fran Fruscilla. Yeah, one of the great people in

2:45:33

sports and coaching and an ESPN analyst. Yeah, ESPN College. He's still

2:45:39

ESPN right, Yes, Yeah, he's been doing it for forever. We

2:45:41

were doing it when I was there. Yeah. He was also head coach in College Saint John's, New Mexico. I believe at Manhattan. Yeah,

2:45:46

Manhattan as well. Fran just a good guy. Manuh. He tweeted out

2:45:50

something late last night. This was after the Juana Roberts news. He said,

2:45:54

if I am hearing what I think I'm hearing about a point guard for

2:45:58

University Houston men's basketball, they're going to be top five again. They are

2:46:01

legitimately too deep at every other spot. That's why I said, man to

2:46:07

top five going in, and we may be cheating them out of a slaughter

2:46:09

too, you know what I mean. They they would be phenomenal. That's

2:46:13

what name, image and likeness and this nil and collective is doing. Now.

2:46:18

I can it worthwhile to stay in school for these kids. We can

2:46:20

do what ifs. They're grown ass men, I mean, great players,

2:46:24

But you know what I'm saying, the young ones, we can do what ifs all we want about sports. But I honestly firmly believe that if Jamal

2:46:33

shed does not get hurt. They play Yukon in the national title. I

2:46:37

have I have no I should have gone with the gut. You know,

2:46:43

when you're picking it, you don't want to go with it when you're picking

2:46:45

your brackets. Houston was on that side in what they were the South Region?

2:46:50

Is that what it was? Yeah? On that side. Were they the east of South? Were they the East Region? It doesn't matter.

2:46:56

Oh, I can tell you right now with reagion. Oh yeah, I got on my thing. I can tell you they they were the the Houston

2:47:01

kubs, right yeah, so they you know, picked them. And on

2:47:07

the other side, I went with you know, you go with Okay, everybody's gonna play pick Yukon, right yeah. So let me let me pick

2:47:13

Arizona playing Houston in the final in Houston winning it, And I am with

2:47:16

you. If they're fully healthy, I think they're in the final as well,

2:47:20

and I think they beat Perdue, and I think they're physical enough to

2:47:24

keep just like you saw even though we got thirty seven, they would be

2:47:28

physical enough to prevent Zach Edy from getting to his spot on the floor.

2:47:35

And and if they just knocked down shots, I think listen, if Yukon

2:47:37

can hold them to sixty Silken Houston. Yeah, now, and Yukon plays

2:47:41

both ends of the floor and can be just as dynamic. And they're two

2:47:46

way point guards to play offense and defense. When they're going good with that

2:47:50

often that their players were the best two way guards in America. I think

2:47:54

when offense and defense. So and Shed's leadership, everything that he brought to

2:47:58

the table. It's not just Leadershi, the guy's a hell of a player.

2:48:01

I'm with you, and I know chose Arizona. And you get back

2:48:03

to and you say, dude, after watching Yukon and they're like, twelve

2:48:09

and zero against the spread the last couple of years in the tournament, they

2:48:11

have not. They have, they have not. Nobody's been close. No,

2:48:15

twelve twelve straight twelve yeah, against the spread. So you're thinking tournament

2:48:18

games somewhere long and long. They got to screw up. No, they're

2:48:22

well, coach, they didn't screw up all. Matter of fact, they didn't screw up much. And they may have had moments in games, but

2:48:26

over forty minutes, they kicked your ass every single day. That would have been a hell of a final. And Purdue hung in there. They just

2:48:31

didn't have enough to hang in there because they didn't have enough supporting help in

2:48:35

that one. And he he still had thirty seven. So I'm with you.

2:48:39

And if they all come back another year experience with a chip on their shoulder, it's going to be about the size of Texas itself. Yeah,

2:48:45

Brian, that would be one hell of a watch. I hope they can

2:48:48

pull it off. Listen, if Shed leaves, I get it. I

2:48:50

do get it if he wants to go on to the next level right now,

2:48:52

but I also get when he comes back. And the good thing about

2:48:56

the collective and am image and like this, and I know we got to

2:49:00

get it a little under control is that kids are staying in school longer,

2:49:03

whether it's forgetting now, they're getting a chance in class, they're getting degrees,

2:49:07

and I'm talking about it everywhere. If you're there, you've got to go to class and getting master's degrees and everything else that goes along with it.

2:49:13

And you're also more experienced. It used to be where the guys who

2:49:16

stay in school all the time. So when you got to the NBA, even though they love young players, you were grown ass man. And so

2:49:22

I like it. And if they can do that, and they're too deep

2:49:24

ten deep, unlike the depth with the injuries they had this year, front

2:49:30

court, d back court, health and depth. Well, you're looking at

2:49:33

the team that won the national title last night, deep and nasty. So

2:49:37

I look back at my final four. I had U of h and Creighton,

2:49:41

and then I had Yukon and Baylor, Purdue and uh Arizona and Yukon.

2:49:50

Yeah, let's see, I had Bama and Baylor, Iowa State versus

2:49:56

Yukon, University of Houston versus Kentucky, Perdue versus Creighton. So the ones

2:50:01

before that, rounds one and two. Really, you know, at the

2:50:05

least, you know, with the lad the smallest or the least surprising thing

2:50:09

in the in all of college basketball tournament, is it? Yukon won the

2:50:13

national title. Yeah, that no surprise there. With the way they played.

2:50:18

They were unbelievable. Yes, who beat them this year? I beat

2:50:20

them. They had a couple of astar in the season, but you know

2:50:22

what I mean, they had three losses. Yeah, dude, going undefeated

2:50:26

in the college basketball season with the grind you gotta put that's hard to do.

2:50:30

Which is a tribute to South Carolina women's game with all with Yukon and

2:50:33

and i Owe and all the great teams that they rolled through undefeated. That's

2:50:37

freaking hard to do. You know, when they think about don Stale,

2:50:39

you know, she was a Nasmith Player of the Year two years in college

2:50:43

at Virginia and now has been the college basketball coach three at four times.

2:50:46

I think coach of the year. It's like six college She's won six awards

2:50:50

for college coach of the years, She's got three national titles, and she

2:50:54

was a college basketball Player the Year twice. Do you think you think she's

2:50:58

real good at basketball? Okay, he thinks you know something about basketball.

2:51:01

Yeah, but you're right, man. You look at you, Kaisa,

2:51:03

how did you get beat? Well? They're hey, nineteen year old kids

2:51:07

lose a little focus once in a while and running too some other nineteen year olds that may have played better that one day, But when it mattered,

2:51:13

they don't just beat you, They destroy you. They kicked their destroy you

2:51:18

and it was it was a fun watch watching the way they played. I'd love to see Houston and them get out and see what that would look like.

2:51:24

They Yukon lost to Kansas at Kansas in December, then in late December,

2:51:31

they lost. They got their asshoo by Seaton Hall seventy five to sixty,

2:51:35

and then they got beat by they got there, they got boat raced

2:51:37

by Creighton. There is no shame in losing to Kansas and crighton getting you

2:51:43

askt now, Seaton Hall will show up and that grind in that part of

2:51:46

the country. They play some good basketball. But you know their losses didn't

2:51:50

exactly come to chopped liver. No, especially to the Kansas and Creighton teams,

2:51:54

who were both Elite eight talent. You find a four type talent you

2:51:58

want to talk about a all off Kansas man? Yeah, dude, they

2:52:01

when they they were banged up with their best offensive player and their depth was

2:52:05

not good and they just did not play well. This was not their year.

2:52:09

But I assure you one thing, when we come back with the top

2:52:13

ten or so next year, guess who's gonna be in it? Kansas.

2:52:16

Oh yeah, you've a bill that's exactly the same, the same guys that

2:52:20

we always see. Where were you when the eclipse happened? You want an

2:52:26

anst down we come back? Yeah, well I got it. You make

2:52:28

it sound like this like, where were you with the eclipse. What is

2:52:31

this a song? The Weather Channel had a reporter go absolutely bonkers for the

2:52:37

eclipse, and we saw I saw a guy breaking crying. I watched that

2:52:41

part of it. There's a guy breaking down in tears with his family.

2:52:43

I saw Morgan throwing chairs off of six six four balcony yesterday, two days

2:52:46

ago. Morgan Wallen may need a little bit of maturity in his life,

2:52:50

just a hunch, let's give to break. I can't say because I looked

2:52:56

in the eclipse. Yeah, who do I go to? Yeah? Well,

2:52:58

yeah, you don't want you don't need that eclipse. Well, doctor

2:53:01

wits it's probably gonna tell you the same thing. Don't look up into the

2:53:05

sun. I want lasik. I don't want to fix cataracts or whatever it

2:53:09

is. No, hey, listen, be smart. But when it comes

2:53:11

to your Lasik procedure or your eyecare, be smart as well. Go see

2:53:15

doctor Jeff Whitson wh T S e T T expert. It's non invasive.

2:53:20

2:53:24

that table in a handful of minutes and then recovered in the next two days

2:53:28

and seeing better than I have in thirty years. Lasik is awesome, and

2:53:33

I understand the questions and the nervousness about well a laser, Sean, what

2:53:35

do I do a laser in mind? Well, go see the guy and

2:53:39

let him walk you through it, doctor Whitst. He'll give you a history

2:53:41

of Lasik procedure and all the changes that make it. Really I don't want

2:53:45

to say simple because I'm not the doctor, but it sure seems simple when

2:53:48

they did mine. But it had an incredible effect favorable to me, and

2:53:52

I don't regret it. The only regret I have is I didn't do it

2:53:54

sooner. So yeah, jump all over it. If your I care.

2:53:58

You're looking for Lasik procedure, non invasive, quick recovery and seeing great and

2:54:03

2:54:22

Sean Salisbury, get in strap in and write in yesterday we had that total

2:54:30

eclipse and depending on where you weren't Houston, I was up in the woodlands.

2:54:33

You couldn't see a damn thing because it was raining and it was thundering. And uh, before we get in the audio or did you notice it?

2:54:39

It quick? It did. It was pretty crazy. I was walking

2:54:43

my dogs in the rain right before I was going to go to the gym.

2:54:46

And there's a in the in the uh front part of my apartment complex,

2:54:50

very nice area. There's like a bunch of benches, and there was

2:54:54

tons of people out. There was a couple people taking time off work.

2:54:58

Yeah. Man, there there was a couple probably fifty five, maybe sixty.

2:55:01

They were sitting on a bench together. They were ripping heaters together.

2:55:05

They were staring up into this guy staring up into the rain as it's starting

2:55:09

to come down a little bit harder, throw on their phones, looking at some astronomy app on their phone, and I'm like, what the are y'all

2:55:16

doing? They would just get off the lot of kids anything, yes, yeah, way maybe. And the guy was like he was he look,

2:55:22

man, spending time with what dude? They were pounding these grits right,

2:55:26

yeah, and he was like, fifty more minutes till totality? Dude,

2:55:30

Like, did y'all are y'all not seeing the lightning? And here in the thunder? Do you realize I heard the word totality? Yeah, more time

2:55:35

yesterday than you have at any point in your aver cumulative in your entire life.

2:55:41

Now I do. It's a total eclipse. It always totality, right,

2:55:45

that's the word twenty twenty four. And real quick before you do that

2:55:48

is I did a guy with his family. Now, he was emotionally he

2:55:52

had to be in his fifties, just a family there, and they interviewed him and he was really smart about all this stuff. Did I'm telling you

2:56:00

the dude was in tears. I guess when when are we seeing this again?

2:56:03

Thirty three hundred years from now? Forty five? Yeah, twenty forty

2:56:07

five. That's a full of the total eclips, I believe, because I

2:56:11

thought we've had partials, right. I thought they said three hundred more years,

2:56:16

though maybe it's three more total clips back in twenty seventeen, So that wasn't total, That was not full, it was I don't think it was.

2:56:20

Well. Last year we had a partial again, dude, I don't

2:56:24

know, you mess. Look one hundred is it ninety seven? Is it

2:56:28

one hundred whatever. I don't know IF's three hundred years, thirty years,

2:56:31

or thirty minutes. But I'll tell you what it evoked. Now the good

2:56:33

Lord, you give me thirty minutes vote vokes will do? What are you

2:56:35

gonna do? The other twenty nine minutes and forty five seconds? Okay?

2:56:39

So yeah, listen, all right. So the Weather Channel had a lot

2:56:45

of their reporters out in Fredericksburg. I was watching the Feather Channel. I

2:56:48

didn't see what you're about. Oh, oh my god, all right, listen to this reporter. I could even say it right there, really a

2:57:07

minute a second, but I'll take it. I'll take you. I wonder,

2:57:22

I wonder how she isn't, wonder how she isn't. Oh my god,

2:57:28

you're the best ever the fir moment totality. You were there in totality.

2:57:37

I saw a spark that guy. Oh my god, So we're done.

2:57:45

She had to grab a cigarette afterwards, Oh dude, she had she

2:57:48

2:57:50

staring at her, I'm like, give me a cigarette. I feel like

2:57:54

2:57:56

2:58:00

Here's what, here's the thing, and I the lord, you know,

2:58:03

2:58:11

But we're take it. Of course you'll take it, will Will. If

2:58:18
