00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: six days fifty eight to be precise to Red's opening Day.

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: NFL news the Bills are promoting their own OC Joe Brady,

31
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: to come head coach.

32
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: He gets a five year deal.

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: If keeping score, that's seven openings filled with the Browns, Cardinals,

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: and Raiders. Still searching if you missed it off the top.

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: ESPN is reporting tonight that Bill Belichick, who won six

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: Super Bowls as the head coach of the Patriots in

37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: a total of eight in his coaching career, has fallen

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: short in his bid the first year of eligibility for

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: the Pro Football Hall of Fame, failing to get forty

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: of the required votes. Forty out of fifty required votes

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 2: to advance. Now, as I understand it, if I'm doing

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: this from memory, I believe that may help Ken Anderson

43
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: because Kenny is in a group that is being considered

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: with Bill Belichick for one of three spots.

45
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: I need to double check that, but I think that's

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: the case.

47
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,320

Speaker 2: jump into it tonight.

Speaker 3: And the clock ticks. Pictures and catchers.

83
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: In thirteen days fifty eight to opening day, the Reds

84
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: have still not added a bat.

85
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: Do they need to add a bat? Yes? Will they

86
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 3: add a bat? Don't know?

87
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: All I know is for three off seasons, this has

88
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: been our talking point, the pursuit of the elusive bat,

89
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 2: whether it's unwilling or unable. They have not been able

90
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: to add that bat for now a third off season.

91
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: It is January twenty seventh. Just because they haven't doesn't

92
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: mean they won't. But considering the track record, I think

93
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: it's fair to voice concern this team has fallen back

94
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: into once again counting on health and improvement. For the

95
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: third straight year. It will be about health and improvement

96
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: of their players. In the two previous years, the health

97
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: and improvement was not enough, and we're right back to

98
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: where we were last year and the year before, not

99
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: only looking for a bat, still in theory, trying to

100
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: refill an offense that is minus Miguel and Duhar, Austin

101
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: Hayes and Gavin Lux. Yes, they've added JJ Bleda, don't

102
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: you say?

103
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: And Dame Myers. I get that this offseason.

104
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: But if you look at the value of those three

105
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: former Reds I mentioned after the All Star break last year,

106
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: Miguel and new and Duhr was the leading hitter on

107
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: this team. Gavin Lux was the second leading hitter on

108
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: the team. Austin Hayes in the second half of the

109
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: season was second on the team in runs, third and ribies,

110
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 2: and third and homers. All three of those players were

111
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: in the starting lineup in the playoffs and are no

112
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: longer here, so can they Will they add some offense?

113
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: That question was posed earlier this week to the Hall

114
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: of Famer Marty Brendaman. He was on with Tommy Tom

115
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: Brenneman heard Mornings here on seven hundred WLW every Monday

116
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: they do Mondays with Murty, and the question was, does

117
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: Marty believe the Reds are going to add a bat?

118
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 3: Here's what he said.

119
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 4: My response would be, I sure, hope they've got something

120
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 4: else left, because again we talked about this and it's

121
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 4: purely an opinion that I hope I'm wrong for the

122
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: sake of the club and the season. But I think

123
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: they're gonna have hard time scoring runs again. And it's

124
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 4: the same old song that we had to listen to

125
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 4: last year, over and over and over again. And there

126
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: are guys out there that can help. But the question is,

127
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: and so far they've been reluctant to spend the kind

128
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 4: of money it.

129
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: Would take to bring.

130
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: A big bopper into the middle of that lineup that

131
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: can can really do some great things offensively for this team,

132
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: especially in the ballpark in which they play half their games.

133
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: In Marty Brenneman Monday here on seven hundred wlwis son

134
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: Tom a bigger picture question, and the clock is sticking.

135
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: We're inside of now.

136
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: Two weeks to pictures and catchers reporting, So that means

137
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: in theory, there should be movements starting to happen. We've

138
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: talked about this over the last week or so. If

139
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: you're a player right now without a gig, what are

140
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: you doing? You're calling your agent and saying, hey, find

141
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: me a spot. I need to get the spring training

142
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: with somebody. I gotta find housing at that spring training.

143
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: I gotta get to know my teammates. I got to

144
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: settle in let's go. And maybe that means well not

145
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: maybe it does mean taking less than you thought. Or

146
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: on the other hand, there's the team who's thinking, all right,

147
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: we're now inside of two weeks. I really need, we

148
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: really need as an organization to make a move here.

149
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: We might not feel comfortable with the price point for

150
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: some of these guys, but we need a bat. So

151
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: where is that meeting point on the two sides in

152
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: the market right now? For teams looking for bats and

153
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: players looking for opportunities. Marty talked with Tom about playing

154
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: the waiting game right now.

155
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: Take a listen.

156
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 4: If all of them were gone, those players that put

157
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 4: off this club, then you'd say, well, you know, they

158
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: had their chance and they were whatever the reason they

159
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: didn't pull it off. But there are guys out there,

160
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: and I don't know. Maybe they're waiting and waiting and

161
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 4: waiting and betting on the fact that whoever that player

162
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: is that they're interested in, or players that the longer

163
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: they go, the less it will take to sign them

164
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: to a contract. Your game, you're playing with fire when

165
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: that happens, because eventually there are other clubs that feel

166
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: the same way you might feel if that, in fact

167
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: is the way they are going to approach this thing.

168
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: But I still maintain they need more offenses. So far

169
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: they've not been able to get it other than the

170
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: aforementioned from previous shows. To outfielders need of of whom

171
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 4: most of the Reds fans.

172
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 5: Have ever heard of.

173
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: But they thank for whatever the reason, besides being cheaply attained,

174
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 4: that they can help the club well for the sake

175
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: of the season.

176
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: One or both better be able to do it.

177
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 2: Marty b how we looking. That was earlier in the

178
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: week with Tom Mondays with Marty with Tom Breddeman on

179
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW.

180
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: Let's do this. We'll take our first time out.

181
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: We're up and running into some Reds conversations still ahead,

182
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: the Reds hitting coach on improving this offense, the approach

183
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 2: to homers, guys getting better and healthier, like Steer and McLain.

184
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: In your input, we'll open up those lines. Heck yeah, five, one, three, seven, four, nine,

185
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: seven thousand, one, eight hundred the big one show up.

186
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: Hands up for some Reds conversation that is directly ahead

187
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: as we continue with RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by

00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: name it.

197
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: We love the iHeart Radio app.

198
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: We would love some offense out of this Reds team

199
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: that last year was shut out thirteen times. They scored

200
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: one run twenty one times, they scored two runs twenty times,

201
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: and they scored three runs eighteen times. My butler math

202
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: tells me on seventy two occasions last year, that's forty

203
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: four percent of the season. In seventy two games last year,

204
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: the red scored less than four runs. That's not good.

205
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: When they scored than four runs, their record was eighteen

206
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: and fifty four.

207
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: Lance.

208
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 2: What was their record when they scored at least four runs.

209
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: I'm glad you asked sixty five and twenty five. They

210
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 2: were forty games over five hundred when they scored at

211
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: least four that's not asking them to be the seventy five,

212
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: seventy six Big Red Machine or the twenty seven Yankees.

213
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: It is asking for more production than they've had from

214
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: this offense. Chris Valaika, red hitting coach, was on Red's

215
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: hot stove we could go tonight. And much has been

216
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: made about and I don't know where this came from.

217
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: Much has been made of this narrative that the Reds

218
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: and Tito and Chris Valeka don't like home runs. Well,

219
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 2: Chris was asked about that and the approach by this team.

220
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: Here's Chris Valeka.

221
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 6: You know, I'm definitely not anti home run. I don't

222
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 6: think Tito's anti home run.

223
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 7: We we.

224
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 6: We we definitely aren't preaching that.

225
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 8: Uh.

226
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 6: You know, I think as far as personnel, you know,

227
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 6: there's ways to be creative to score runs. You know,

228
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 6: I think our biggest thing is, you know, playing to

229
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 6: the scoreboard. You know, obviously we want to find ways

230
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 6: to score runs, but we also don't want to be

231
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 6: a victim to the Ballparky, you know, haven't been on

232
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 6: different clubs. It's you know, you come to Cincinnati, you

233
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 6: don't leave without a home run. And you know, playing

234
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 6: eighty one games there that that doesn't want to be

235
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 6: We don't want that to be our identity. So you know,

236
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 6: we we we have to find ways to manufacture runs.

237
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 6: I think there's definitely a way, and going into this

238
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 6: offseason and into next season that there's going to be situations,

239
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 6: there's going to be certain counts there, there's different ways

240
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 6: that we can look to impact the ball. But we

241
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 6: need to get better again at you know, our foundations,

242
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 6: our our situational hitting. I think there was some some

243
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 6: lack of that, you know, towards towards the late innings

244
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 6: of games, especially when we're facing leverage arms. You know,

245
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 6: we have to find ways rather than just living and

246
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 6: dying by the home run. You know, we definitely have

247
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 6: guys that can impact the ball, but that doesn't.

248
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: Need to be our hallmark.

249
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 6: You know, when we need it, it's in the tank,

250
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 6: but we have to find ways to continuously put up

251
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 6: runs when it matters.

252
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: Okay, all of that's well and good, but one thing

253
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: in there that makes my headache is, and I'm paraphrasing,

254
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: I believe he said we can't be a victim of

255
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: the ballpark. And I get you can't have an approach,

256
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: you can't have two different It's not ideal to have

257
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: two different approaches.

258
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 3: You want to have the same approach.

259
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: You can't try to hit one way eighty one times

260
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: a year at Great American Ballpark and hit another way

261
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: when you pack your bags and go on the road.

262
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: That's impossible to do. But forget about being a victim

263
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: of the ballpark. What about taking advantage of your ballpark?

264
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: I mean, the term is home field advantage for a reason.

265
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: I mean that term is I mean you don't think

266
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: that the Red Sox use Fenway to their advantage with

267
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: the Great Monster. You don't think the Yankees use Yankee

268
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: Stadium in the short portion right to their advantage. You

269
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: don't think they try to take advantage of that. That

270
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 2: is the very essence of home field advantage. The Reds

271
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: have one of the bigger home field advantages with Great

272
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: American Ballpark. I don't I don't want to be a

273
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: victim to the ballpark, but I don't want to ignore

274
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: the ballpark. He did Chris Falleka one week ago tonight

275
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: on Red so Hot Stove talk about the internal improvements.

276
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: This is where insert eye roll the guys on the

277
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: team who will be healthier and or figure to get

278
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: better with another year under their belt. Two names in

279
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: particular fall into that category. When Chris talks here, he

280
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: talks about Spencer Steer and Matt McClain.

281
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: Here is Chris Fialaka with Spence.

282
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 6: I'm really proud of the year that he put together

283
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 6: after you know, coming off a tough April and you know,

284
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 6: hitting one, sixty, one, eighty whatever it was, end up

285
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 6: with twenty plus homers and driving in the runs that

286
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 6: he had. That just shows how well he hit, you know,

287
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 6: through the year to put him in a position where

288
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 6: he finished. And when it comes to Maddie, you know,

289
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 6: he missed the year and a half. He had ninety

290
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 6: games in the big leagues and you know, had some success,

291
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 6: but you know where he's at. He missed the year

292
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 6: and a half. So he went through that sophomore year,

293
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 6: he went through that acclamation period and you know, he

294
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 6: learned a ton in the big leagues. You know, there's

295
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 6: probably a case where he could have been demoted, and

296
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 6: we kept him in the big leagues that you know,

297
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 6: he continued to learn and help us win games. So

298
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 6: I think they're both going to be better for it

299
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 6: and looking forward to big things for both of those guys.

300
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: Chris Palika, Red's hitting coach one week ago tonight on

301
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW on Reds hot stove, And you know what,

302
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: I'll concede those two points. I think it's fair and

303
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: reasonable to believe we were entering into evidence. So your honor,

304
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: I like to enter exhibit A and B Spencer Steer

305
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: and Matt McClain as guys who we will be better

306
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. I think that's fair to say.

307
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: But man, there's still a should, maybe, if might to

308
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: all of this. And it's okay to have some guys

309
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: you say should.

310
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: Might, if could.

311
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: What's wrong with having one or two or three or

312
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: more guys that you know will will Guys you can

313
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: count on, not guys you're hoping on.

314
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: Guys you can count on.

315
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: And for the third straight year, this team is lacking

316
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: enough guys that you can write down and say he

317
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: will produce. There's too many guys that you say I

318
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: think he I think he might produce, And that's very frustrating.

319
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: We've reached the bottom of the r we're just getting

Speaker 2: One other note, the Reds last year at home h

333
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 2: had eighty seven home runs. Their pitchers allowed one hundred

334
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 2: and five. The Reds were out homered by eighteen in

335

Speaker 2: their own ballpark in twenty twenty five. This offense cries

336
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: out for another bat?

00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,760

339
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: you were on seven hundred WLW Welcome.

340
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 9: Hey, Lance, Hey, I've been on several times. I want

341
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 9: to talk about Chris Blake being the hitting coach.

342
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 3: Yes, you know the guy.

343
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 9: The guy had less than two hundred and seventy at

344
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 9: bats in the major leagues with the two thirty eight

345
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 9: batting average, And by the time they get to the

346
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 9: major leagues, they ought to know how to hit. But

347
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 9: you want a hitting coach if he sees something that

348
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 9: and he's clening out the guy, there's how do we?

349
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 10: How do we? How do we?

350
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: But but.

351
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 9: Okay, go ahead, how do we know that he?

352
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: I mean, if they had made a change this year,

353
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 2: they would have their fifth hitting coach in ten years.

354
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: Why isn't it simply this team needs better hitters, not

355
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: a new hitting coach.

356
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 9: Well, they do, but you know he's not able to

357
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 9: He's they're clearly not able to point out their mistake.

358
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 9: The whole team watches too many pitches go right down Broadway,

359
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 9: as Brantley said, they they strike out watching too many times.

360
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 10: You know.

361
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 9: But he's not yelling.

362
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: He's not yelling from the dugouts swing or don't swing.

363
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he can only do so much.

364
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 9: I understand that. But they the whole year long, they're

365
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 9: making the same mistakes over and over and over again,

366
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 9: and and they're not being coached up.

367
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 3: But I don't know how you say that. I don't.

368
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 3: It's easy to say that.

369
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: All I can tell you is their batting average went

370
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: up from the season before. They got on base more

371
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: than the season before. So it's easy to say that.

372
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 3: I don't know how you know that.

373
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: Well, I know that's frustrated, but it's true they got

374
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 2: on base more with Chris Valaka than they did the

375
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 2: previous year.

376
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 9: Well maybe, and you're that might be a lot of pitos.

377
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not gonna be able to I'm not going

378
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: to be able to convince you in this argument. If

379
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: you're going to just move the gold post like that,

380
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: I don't have any more answers.

381
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 9: No, no, no, I'm not moving a gold post. I'm

382
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 9: that's not a big blake fan as hitting coach, I don't.

383
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 3: Oh, that's my fault. I hit that.

384
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: I was sliding to get ready for the next caller.

385
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: I apologize. I don't like doing that, and that is

386
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: completely on me. I blame the honey citrus mint tea

387
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 2: that I drank, but I did not mean to. I

388
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 2: was moving him into the next category for the next

389
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: caller to slide.

390
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 3: So my fault.

391
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: I will say this, it's easy to blame the hitting

392
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: coach and yet I don't know if there's an understanding

393
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: of how the role of the hitting coach has changed

394
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: in Major League baseball today.

395
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 3: It is not what it once was. It never will

396
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 3: be again.

397
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 2: There is one major league hitting coach right now that

398
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 2: hit three hundred in a Major league season. There's one

399
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: hitting coach in Major League Baseball today that ever made

400
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: an All Star Game. Kevin Seitzer. He is the hitting

401
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: coach these days for the Mariners. That's the only one

402
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 2: who's ever been a three hundred hitter in the major leagues.

403
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: Let me give you let's just say top five offenses

404
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: last year in baseball, and I'll tell you their hitting coach.

405
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 2: Yankees James Rosen is their hitting coach. His highest level

406
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: of experience is Class A. He hit one ninety three

407
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: in one hundred and twenty eight minor league games. He

408
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: spent the ninety eight season with the Cook County Cheetahs.

409
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: He's the Yankees hitting coach. The Dodgers hitting coach is

410
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 2: Robert Van Skoyoake never played minor league baseball. He played

411
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: college baseball at Siesta College. Began his coaching career working

412
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: with youth hitters in Santa Clarida Valley The Brewers hitting

413
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: coach is Connor Dawson. Never played a minor league game,

414
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: played at Neotia County Community College Junior College. The Blue

415
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: Jays hitting coach is David Popkins. Ninety games at Double A.

416
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: That's as high as he got career ended playing independent ball.

417
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: The Cubs hitting coach is Dustin Kelly. Twenty four games

418
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: at double A is as high as he got. He

419
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: hit two oh three. Hitting today is not about the

420
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 2: back of your baseball card as a hitting coach and

421
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: what you did in the major leagues. It's about the

422
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: ability to articulate in translate analytics and swing analysis and

423
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: video breakdowns and launch angle and bat speed and exit

424
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 2: velocity and pitch selection and you name it. It has very

425
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: little to do less than half. I think it's a third.

426
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 3: I haven't updated this.

427
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: I think a third of the major league hitting coaches

428
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 2: ever even played in the major leagues. And again, one

429
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 2: of them ever had a season where he hit three hundred.

430
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: The Tampa Bay Rays hitting coach is Chad Motola. For

431
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: goodness sakes, that Chad Matola, the one time Red's first

432
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: round pick instead of Derek Jeter, hit two hundred and

433
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: fifty nine major league games. It's not about what you

434
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: did in the major leagues, it's your ability to articulate

435
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: it to your players. And I think it's so easy,

436
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 2: and it lets the Reds organization off the hook. When

437
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 2: people say they need another hitting coach, a fifth hitting

438
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 2: coach in ten years, I will plant my flag on

439
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 2: this organization. Not needing a new hitting coach they need

440
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: better hitters drives me crazy. The Rangers hitting coach, the

441
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: Astros hitting coach had twenty eight major league plate appearances,

442
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 2: Vick Rodriguez. Who the hell's Vic Rodriguez and he's the

443
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 2: Astros hitting coach. In fact, the Royals hitting coach, Alex

444
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:49,239
Speaker 2: Zumwald is a former pitcher. Let me repeat that, the

445
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: Royals major league hitting coach is a former pitcher.

446
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: Stop using the Reds.

447
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 2: Hitting coach as the convenient excuse for this rule not hitting.

448
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: And again, I could only give you the numbers. Their

449
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 2: batting average and they're on base went up last season.

450
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: My next argument would be it needs to go up

451
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: even higher.

452
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 3: Walton we go. You see Chris welcome to the sports.

453
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 11: Talk he lance. I'll use some restraint there with that

454
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 11: last color. What he said, He's called several times, so

455
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 11: I just fallow a seat. I've called thirty five years

456
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 11: workup times?

457
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: What is be nice?

458
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 11: You know who the REDSI back is a dude like

459
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 11: Adam Dunn. I mean he was acting me. I mean

460
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 11: he was iffy in the outfield, but you know, okay, uh,

461
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 11: he's won for his last twenty one people bitch and

462
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 11: why is he in the starting lineup? Well because the

463
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 11: next thirty at bats he goes fifteen for thirty with

464
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 11: like eight bombs in twenty Ribby stakes.

465
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 2: And can you imagine in this day and age, Adam

466
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: Dunn was book at forty homers, one hundred Ribbies and

467
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: one hundred walks and almost one hundred runs in a

468
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: year for consecutive multiple.

469
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 3: Years, and you know.

470
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 11: People would complain, Oh god, he's been in two twenty eight,

471
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 11: what's going on? It's July first. Well, look at the

472
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 11: end of the year and I'm sure you're gonna pull

473
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 11: him up and go back year by year on how

474
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 11: many homers he's going to hit. Why I'm kind of

475
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 11: rambling on here a little bit, But what I do

476
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 11: want you to do for me, because I don't though

477
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 11: it as close as I probably should, is Swarez still available,

478
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 11: he is, what kind of contract is he looking for?

479
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: I think that's a great question because on one hand,

480
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: you say, whoa, he's he hit forty nine home runs

481
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 2: last year? How is he still out there? So it

482
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: leads me to believe he wants a big dollar. He's

483
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: a big dollar, a big ticket guy, and yet nobody

484
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: has signed him.

485
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 3: So he's not ancient. He I think he's thirty five, but.

486
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: For this team, he's probably gonna only be a DH

487
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 2: and they kind of rotate through their DHU. He strikes

488
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 2: out one hundred and ninety times a year and he

489
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: doesn't get on base lance.

490
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 11: If he If he strikes out one hundred and ninety

491
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 11: times a year but hits forty nine zero months, that's

492
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 11: fine by me, all right. So if so, if you

493
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 11: can just review what other bats are available and what

494
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 11: kind of contracts are looking for after we take a

495
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 11: break here in a few minutes, that would be great

496
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 11: and land a block.

497
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yeah.

498
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 11: Trust me, I'm very close. So that was fine. You

499
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 11: drinking overpriced Starbucks product, But when you get home to Independence,

500
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 11: you'll feel much better with I don't know, two or

501
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 11: three shots of whiskey.

502
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 3: That's how my to do list.

503
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna pivot from honey citrus mint tea

504
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: to uh to bourbon or whiskey.

505
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 5: How's that?

506
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 11: You got it?

507
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 5: All right?

508
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: Thank you? You see, Chris, Yes, sir, all right.

509
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: We'll continue more to get to and Austin Hayes is

510
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: on the market, among others. The last report we saw

511
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: and and the dollar signs aren't attached to these guys

512
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 2: because at that point, this point, it's a it's a

513
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: work in progress. Whatever they thought they were worth, they're

514
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: not getting. So it's a it's gonna be the the

515
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: game of as Marty alluded to, the waiting game, the

516
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 2: settling point. What are you willing to settle for? What

517
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: are you willing to take? I would think I would

518
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: think it plays to the Red's advantage because let's let's

519
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 2: role play. Let's say you're a free agent. Who's a bat.

520
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 2: You got a bat, you hit for power. Even if

521
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: you are now down to a one year deal, what

522
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 2: better landing spot. It's called a soft pillow contract. It's

523
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 2: one year, just kind of a stopover, all right. I

524
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 2: didn't get the multi year deal, but I'll take a

525
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: one year deal. Who wouldn't want You would think want

526
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 2: to take a one year deal here to hit gobs

527
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: of home runs and hit free agency again after a

528
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: season of being able to mash in this ballpark. If

529
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 2: I were a hitter, if I were an agent, that's

530
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 2: what I'd be telling my client. I'd say, Hey, I

531
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: know we wanted two, three four year deal and we

532
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: want an X amount of dollars, but it is January

533
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: twenty seventh. How about I get you a great American

534
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: ballpark and let you mash in that place for one year,

535
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: and then we'll put your services back on the market

536
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: and we will make big bucks. You would think that

537
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: would be a conversation. Seven forty nine RNL Carrier Sports

538
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven hundred WW.

539
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 3: Closing in on eight o'clock. The night line man, we're about.

540
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: To put our first of two hours in the books,

541
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: and I do apologize to the caller. I inegurently hung

542
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: up on it. I don't like doing that. I appreciate

543
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: any by who calls and I don't see. I try

544
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: not to touch buttons, and when I touch buttons, I wind

545
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: up hitting the wrong buttons. And I again apologize for that,

546
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: I will say, and I'm not a by any stretch

547
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: a Chris waleaka apologist. I can just I can go

548
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: by the numbers. Compared to twenty twenty four. In the

549
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: first year with Chris Valaika, they scored more runs per game.

550
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: Their batting average jump fourteen points, They're on base percentage

551
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: jump ten points, their slugging went up, and their OPS

552
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: went up. So in every category batting average, on base, slugging, OPS,

553
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: and runs per game they went up under Chris Wilaika.

554
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 2: Now they've got to go up even more this year.

555
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: But again, I don't think it's the hitting. I think

556
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: it's the hit ers. The Red Sox hitting coach, the

557
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 2: highest level he played at was a ball He last

558
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: played for the Florence Freedom before they were the Yawls.

559
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: Then he founded his own baseball academy. He's now the

560
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 2: Red Sox hitting coach. The Phillies hitting coach had zero

561
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: Major leg at bats. He hit two thirty four in

562
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 2: three Triple A seasons. Don't worry about their major league pedigree,

563
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: worry about their ability to articulate and translate everything in

564
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: the game today to the hitters. Salth Stewart is a guy.

565
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: If we are talking about improving and an infusion of

566
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: offense into this team, salth Stewart is somebody who legitimately

567
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: you say, well, he debuted, he's twenty two. I kind

568
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: of like what he showed. I think he'll get better

569
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: this season.

570
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 3: That's fair.

571
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: He went to the plate less than sixty times, fifty

572
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: eight trips to the plate with the Reds. He hit

573
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: five home runs, showed some pop. What might he be

574
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: in year number two? I think that's a reasonable intrigue.

575
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: What position he will he play? I think that's a

576
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: reasonable intrigue as well. He was on MLB Network earlier

577
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: this week and Ron Darling and the guys ask him

578
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: about the position he's focused on in spring training.

579
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 3: Here's Sal Stewart.

580
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 11: Yeah.

581
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 12: So when the season kind of ended, obviously it was

582
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 12: an abrupt ending in LA, but after there was some time.

583
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 3: I got on the phone with Tito.

584
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 12: And we spoke for about forty five minutes together, and

585
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 12: he's just like, look, this is what I expect out

586
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 12: of you. He kind of wanted me to lean out more,

587
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 12: which I did going into the offseason. I'm down about

588
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 12: twenty five pounds. Wow, And he just said he wanted

589
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 12: me ready for third and first, so I took those

590
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 12: words to Harden. I mean, Tito's a Hall of Fame manager,

591
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 12: so I took what he said to Hart and I

592
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 12: got to work. So I'm excited that I'm ready for

593
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 12: both third and first and wherever the team needs me.

594
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to it.

595
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 2: Sal Stewart on MLB Network earlier this week he played

596
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: second base in the minors. Did not do not think

597
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: that is an option to the extent of they called

598
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: him up last year and he never played second base.

599
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: Even with they struggling. Matt McLain never saw second base,

600
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: so I would not count that into the mix. Which

601
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: makes it interesting because I still believe, in some way,

602
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: shape or form, the Reds could use a middle infielder

603
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: on this roster because unless you're asking Spencer Steer to

604
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: pick up some second base, there's no true backup to

605
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: Ellie other than Matt. And if Matt slides over to short,

606
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: then who's then already asking Steer to play second? And

607
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: if Matt takes there's just a lot of and in essence,

608
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: they needs a better middle infielder than Santiago Espinal, if

609
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: that makes any sense. They could kind of use that

610
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: type of guy position wise, but certainly somebody better than that,

611
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: because I couldn't watch Santiago Espinal swing the bat anymore.

612
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: One final thought on Sal Stewart. He was asked about it.

613
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: I love this and keep in mind sALS twenty two,

614
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: he was asked about the impact that Terry Francona had

615
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: on him and this team.

616
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty five, here's Sal Stewart.

617
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, the other day we had Red sest and he

618
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 12: said that he managed Michael Jordan.

619
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: I was stunned down. I didn't know that he did that.

620
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 12: But man, honestly, Tino works really hard to have that

621
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 12: relationship with the players. I mean, that's really number one,

622
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 12: and you don't really get that often. So he kind

623
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 12: of goes out of his way to make sure that

624
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 12: he has a.

625
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 3: Relationship with you.

626
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 12: He understands who you are as a player, and he

627
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 12: kind of lets me go out there. He told me, look,

628
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 12: I'm gonna let.

629
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 3: You do your thing.

630
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 12: I mean, you got here for a reason, so I

631
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 12: want you to go out there and do your thing.

632
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 12: So have you a manager to let you be who

633
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 12: you are is I'm really fortunate to have that. I

634
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 12: mean He's a holiday manager for a reason, so the

635
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 12: resume seaks for itself.

636
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: Sal Stewart MLB Network.

637
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, ESPN released their Top one hundred prospect list.

638
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: Today it's prospect time. Everybody comes out with the list.

639
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: MLB Network, ESPN the Athletic MLB Pipeline. Today ESPN's Top

640
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: one hundred has Sal Stewart at number seventeen. This is

641
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: an interesting com ESPN says that South Stewart reminds them

642
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 2: of a right handed Michael Bush, or maybe the Brewers

643
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: Andrew Vaughn. Michael Bush hit thirty six home runs for

644
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 2: the Cubs this past season. Andrew Vaughan had such a

645
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: turnaround of a season in a career when he was

646
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: acquired by the Brewers during the season, Michael Bush well,

647
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 2: I don't know that South Stewart's going to have that

648
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: much pop. I would certainly take it, but I thought

649
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 2: that comp and what Michael Bush did home run.

650
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 3: Wise last year was whoa wow? All right? Hang tight?

651
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: One hour in the books, won more to go, including

652
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 2: betts made and bets paid. As we continue with Darnell

00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: All right, let's keep moving, no reason to slow down.

656
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: Eight seven hundred wlw RN help here at or sports

657
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 2: Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet on Lance McCAT lester.

658
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 3: No show tomorrow night.

659
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: You see basketball plays here pregame show starting at six

660
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 2: tip at six point thirty. So no sports talk probably

661
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: good for me and my voice. But back at you

662
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 2: on Thursday. Let's continue some Reds conversation, then get into

663
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 2: something I saw last night. Happened and I can relate

664
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: to it, and I laughed at it, So we'll get

665
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: to that in a second. Let's get to some more

666
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: Reds talk in Cincinnati and Bryce, you were on seven

667
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: hundred WLW welcome.

668
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 13: Oh, right, Just off season has been lack lust year

669
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 13: to say the least. They have been focusing on their bullpen,

670
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 13: which has been a good addition. But the offense, I mean,

671
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 13: they've just been losing guys but not getting other offensive

672
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 13: guys to replace them. And they did not have a

673
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 13: good offense at twenty twenty five to say the least.

674
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're just asking for an awful lot to

675
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: go right this year. And I get that you got

676
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 2: to count on young guys to get better. But they

677
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 2: need they need another hitter or two in this lineup

678
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: that you could write down in merch what do you

679
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: think they're gonna do? And in September they've done exactly that.

680
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: They're just start enough guys you can count on in

681
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: this lineup right now.

682
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 13: I mean there is one guy that the Reds they

683
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 13: could save his whole offseason, and his name is Aie

684
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 13: Haino Sware. I mean Elie de la Cruz led the

685
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 13: team with only twenty two home runs in twenty twenty five.

686
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 13: There were twenty six in hard hit rates twenty ninth

687
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 13: and average business per hits. Their hitting was just not

688
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 13: to the standards, and Aohano Suarez could absolutely lift them up.

689
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 13: And see this veteran guy that can leave the team.

690
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: Bryce, I think you used a great point there, veteran,

691
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: because there's no doubt. We can debate how much he

692
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: strikes out, how much he doesn't get on base enough,

693
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: but au Haano Suarez is a veteran and he's always

694
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: been a willing mentor to younger players. And man him

695
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 2: with Elie and some of these young guys, I think

696
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: that would be a.

697
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 3: Really nice.

698
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: Chemistry and kind of experience element to this team that

699
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 2: he would add.

700
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 3: I would not.

701
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 2: I think that's an important part of this equation. I

702
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 2: think that's a good point.

703
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 13: I mean, you're you're right, and he would just be

704
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 13: a great hitter behind guys like Ellie de la Cruz

705
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 13: and TJ. Freuel. If Elliotts were to get on base,

706
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 13: he'd be easily able to get in the scoring position.

707
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 13: And you saw teams with Elie de la Cruz. The

708
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 13: alley effect was really real last season. I mean, if

709
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,959
Speaker 13: a pitcher had Elie de la Cruz on base, their

710
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 13: most death and the serve up a mistake. He is

711
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 13: Anya swarre a Hen Suarez at Bet He's crushing it.

712
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 13: He's sending it out of gabp like he had he.

713
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 3: Would and Bryce.

714
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: He would make the opposing pitcher stop and think instead

715
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: of looking at this lineup saying Elie's the only real

716
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 2: threat here that I'm worried about, they would have to

717
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: worry about a guy who hit forty nine home runs

718
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 2: like Aujdeo Suarez, and you stick him behind Elie. It

719
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 2: changes the dynamics of this lineup.

720
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 3: There's no doubt.

721
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, He is a smart plug. Bet the Red's

722
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 13: offense needs with that one two punch in Hunter Green

723
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 13: and Andrew Abbit. They with a season manager like Terry Francota,

724
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 13: the Reds could be doing great things. But they still

725
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 13: got to pick him up. But he's very likely to

726
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 13: come to Cincinnati once again.

727
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: Hey, Bryce, I really enjoyed our conversation. I'm really glad

728
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: you listened, and it means a lot you called. Please

729
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 2: do it again and we'll talk baseball the next time

730
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: again as well. All Right, thank you, thank you, all right,

731
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: you you as well. Now, I like that. That's some

732
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 2: strong baseball conversation. I could, In fact, I want to

733
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 2: put him on retainer for extra innings during the season

734
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: because that would be an entertaining and very enjoyable conversation

735
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 2: in the late nights during Red's baseball season on Kelsey

736
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: Chevrolet Extra innings still midnight. I'm very much looking forward

737
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: to that. Write that name down, write that name. I

738
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 2: remember that name.

739
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: Bryce. There you go.

740
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: Something happened last night in sports, and I want to

741
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: tie it into something that if you can do a

742
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 2: little story time, it involved the now. I know, just

743
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 2: hang on, don't don't tune out, because I'm talking NBA.

744
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm not really talking NBA. But on December the twentieth,

745
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 2: the LA Clippers were six and twenty one. In a

746
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 2: meeting with the media, their coach Tyloo said that the

747
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: goal of the team was to go thirty five and

748
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: twenty the rest of the way. And Robert Flohm, who

749
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: is a an independent Clippers blogger he runs a Clippers blog,

750
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 2: posted on Twitter after he said that if the LA

751
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 2: Clippers go fifteen and three in any stretch this season,

752
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 2: I will print and eat this tweet, and he sent

753
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: out the tweet Sunday night, the Clippers won to cap

754
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: a stretch of winning fifteen of eighteen games. The Clippers

755
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 2: shared a photo of his printed out post on Twitter

756
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 2: as the horn sounded after the game. Lou after the

757
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 2: game in the postgame said of the media he had

758
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: a message for Robert Flahm. He said, he's gotta go

759
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 2: live meeting. He wanted him to do it live during

760
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 2: his his podcast he does for the LA Clippers as well.

761
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard of the Clippers Star Playing Great of Late said, man,

762
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how healthy it is for him to

763
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 2: do that. So here's what happened last night on his

764
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: Clippers podcast Live. Robert Flahm had printed out the tweet.

765
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 2: He ate it live during the podcast episode, and his

766
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 2: quote was pretty crunchy. Then he declared the Clippers will

767
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 2: win forty five games this year, and he highly recommended

768
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: nobody make a bet like I'll ete paper.

769
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 3: That is fantastic, bet may and bet paid.

770
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: I have two examples I would like to give you

771
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: in my long and I won't say electric illustrious career

772
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 2: based on these two stories I'm about to give you.

773
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 2: This happened twice with me, and I thought about him

774
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 2: this morning on the heels of this news with the

775
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: Clippers blogger. In the late nineties, I made the declaration

776
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 2: on eleven sixty bob down the dial at the time

777
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: here in town, that if the Horizon League got three

778
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: NCUBLEA tournament bids in basketball, I would ride a tricycle

779
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 2: around Fountain Square in a dress. Well, the Horizon League

780
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 2: got three teams in the NC DOUBLEA tournament, I believe

781
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 2: I went to Target dress shopping.

782
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 3: I bought a cheap dress.

783
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 2: We rolled up in the station van at lunchtime to

784
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 2: Fountain Square. Russ Jackson was in the van and may

785
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 2: have been driving the van at that point, popped open.

786
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 3: The back doors.

787
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 2: I step out an address with a tricycle, and I

788
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 2: did three laps around Fountain Square at lunchtime.

789
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 3: Bet made, bet paid.

790
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 2: I did what you would think I had learned my lesson,

791
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 2: because I had done one earlier, about four or five

792
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 2: years earlier, when I was in Chicago and I was

793
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 2: on CLTV, the hosting a nightly sports talk show called

794
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 2: Sports Page, and I in ninety three made the declaration

795
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 2: that Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, after falling behind

796
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 2: two in their playoff series versus the Knicks, were.

797
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 3: Dead dead done.

798
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 2: And I said on the air, if Michael and the

799
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 2: Bulls come back and win this series, I will push

800
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 2: a peanut with my nose across the newsroom floor live

801
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 2: on TV. Well, and I swear this got back to Michael.

802
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 2: I swear this was the driving force for Michael Shordan

803
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 2: and the Bulls to come back and win the next

804
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 2: four games of the series and knock the Knicks out.

805
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: I was receiving the station was receiving bags of peanuts

806
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 2: from around the Greater Chicago area, people volunteering use my peanut,

807
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 2: and one night live on the air. I stepped out

808
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 2: behind the set my desk. I was in a suit

809
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: and tie suspenders. I reached in a bag of peanuts

810
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 2: and grabbed one peanut. I got down on all fours.

811
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 2: I put it on the carpet of the newsroom floor.

812
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 2: I looked to my right, and the entire newsroom and

813
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 2: technical crew and production department had stopped what they were

814
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 2: doing and had gathered as one to watch and on

815
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 2: live TV in Chicago. I proceeded to push a peanut

816
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 2: with my nose on all fours across the newsroom floor.

817
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: The thing I will one of many things I always

818
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 2: remember about that is the the carpet burn I got

819
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: on my nose because I don't know how much experience

820
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 2: you have pushing a peanut all fours with your nose

821
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 2: on carpet, But if you go too fast, your nose

822
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: will will move off the peanut and rub along the carpet.

823
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 3: So I had a carpet burn on my nose. But

824
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 3: I did it. Bets made, bets paid.

825
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: I'd like to say I didn't make any bets after that,

826
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: but I made two more and I want them both.

827
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 2: And if you may remember, back in the day here

828
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: in the nineties, there was a host called Tim Lewis,

829
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 2: Tim Big Dog Lewis, and he was a big Jazz.

830
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 3: Fan, Utah jazz fan, and I I was a Bulls fan.

831
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 2: And in back to back years the Bulls and Jazz

832
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 2: played in the NBA Finals and we were on the

833
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 2: same station together my show. He followed my show or

834
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: I followed his show. I don't remember, but we made

835
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 2: a bet each year and I won them both years.

836
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 2: The first year, in winning the bet, Tim Lewis had

837
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 2: to have his ear pierced live on the air in

838
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 2: the studio, and I will never forget the sound of

839
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 2: the piercing the gun and the yelp by Big Dog

840
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 2: Tim Lewis on the air.

841
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 3: Is that piercing went through the second year.

842
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 2: The bet was if the Bulls beat his Jazz, he

843
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 2: would paint his fingernails black, red and white Bulls colors

844
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 2: all ten fingers and wear those painted fingernails for a month.

845
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 2: The Bulls won and he did. I don't remember making

846
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 2: a bet since then. I think I'm out on the bets,

847
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 2: made bets, paid game well down the stretch, Little Bengals

848
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 2: to squeeze in Charlie Goldsmith up to it again wrote

849
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 2: something I found very intriguing today that plus more is

850
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: oh and wait till you hear what's coming up at

851
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:03,279

866
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 2: JJ Hoover back out to the phones in a Bengals

867
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: note or two Dayton we go, Hey Doug, welcome to

868
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 2: sports Talk.

869
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 10: Hey, how you doing good?

870
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 3: How are you good?

871
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 9: Hey?

872
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 10: I just want to talk about a few things with

873
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 10: the Reds. He had talked about Srez. Yeah, he's got

874
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 10: a lot of experience. He's probably a good teacher. But

875
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 10: if you look back, Austin Hayes really fits in with

876
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 10: the team. I think he's a good dougout person, and

877
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 10: I think he plays more positions than Forres does, so

878
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 10: I think he's more valuable. Plus he's been there before

879
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 10: and the guys know him, so that.

880
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only problem with Hayes is how available he's

881
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 2: going to be. He was on the injured list three

882
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 2: times last year and only played in one hundred and

883
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 2: three games. He was hurt the season before. But to

884
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 2: your point, he knows this team, he seemingly fit in

885
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 2: pretty well, and he's not going to cost nearly as

886
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 2: much as a u Adeo Suarez is probably gonna cost.

887
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 10: A good point. Yeah, and he was heard. I agree

888
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,919
Speaker 10: with you, but maybe maybe that was just a thing

889
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 10: and we'll see. I mean, you can get him on

890
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 10: a short contract.

891
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean yes, why not?

892
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 10: Why not? Do it, you know. But second thing, why

893
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 10: aren't we running? Last pre season they had a double

894
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 10: steal and I was like, yeah, yeah, I'm just like

895
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 10: they got all the speed on this Spencer steer you're

896
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 10: talking about, well, Dela Cruz. I mean, all the guys

897
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 10: have decent speed, and I don't know why they're not stealing.

898
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 3: It's, uh, it's maddening to me.

899
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: And I asked, I asked Tito about that at Redsfest,

900
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 2: and I said, if you're going to be challenged to

901
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 2: score runs and not hit many homers, would you be

902
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 2: more aggressive? And he doesn't like making outs on the bases,

903
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 2: But man, I I just don't think they have another

904
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 2: offense to sit back and hit home runs.

905
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 3: They have to force the action.

906
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 10: Well, this is what I say. I say, where they're

907
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 10: going to do play small ball? I mean with with TJ. Friedel.

908
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 10: I mean, he he's great at small ball, but you

909
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 10: can't depend on him every day, you know, I mean

910
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 10: through the season. And he's a great player, don't get

911
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 10: me wrong. I mean he is a great small ball player.

912
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 10: But I don't think they really know what they want

913
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 10: to do yet. I mean, it's just it's just it's

914
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 10: just really confusing. I mean, south Stewart is a good

915
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 10: possibly fourth and he could play third. I would see that.

916
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 10: I played Spencer stear at first. So but it's very interesting,

917
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 10: and I don't know where they're going with us. I

918
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 10: really don't see it, you.

919
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 2: And me both, Hey dougt. But I enjoyed our conversation.

920
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 2: Let's do it again. All right, sounds great, all right,

921
00:49:59,239 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 2: thank you.

922
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 3: Nothing. He's talking Reds baseball.

923
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 2: It's January twenty seventh, and so what ten degrees below

924
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 2: windsill with the weather right now and we're talking Reds baseball.

925
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 3: I like that.

926
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 2: I'll take that quick note well before I run out

927
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 2: of time. I would highly recommend from Charlie's Chalkboard today

928
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 2: and from Charlie Goldsmith, and you can get it sent

929
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 2: to your email if you sign up it's free, or

930
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 2: you go to Fox nineteen. He listed his Bengals playing

931
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 2: for the offseason. It's like a nine point plan. Number

932
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 2: one on his list was eliminate some offseason distractions and

933
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 2: reward some of your better players with extensions, guys like

934
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 2: Chase Brown and DJ Turner. And I thought Charlie makes

935
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 2: a great point. You reward their development and everybody on

936
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 2: the team can look at Brown and Turner as examples

937
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 2: that they can follow. If we work hard and we

938
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: get better, we'll get rewarded by our team.

939

941
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 2: on what Joe's probably going to command on the open market.

942
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 2: He listed the name key He's Keenum as a name

943
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 2: to think about somebody in the three million dollar ranges

944
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 2: of possibility. He also listed in point number six cut

945
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 2: or In Berks and Cody Ford free up five point

946
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,320

1098
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 2: he's in my calendar to pop up every year at

1099
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 2: this time to remind me to play from the archives.

1100
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 2: Chris Collinsworth filling in for Bob Trumpy. He would eventually

1101
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 2: take over for Trump and that was his That was

1102
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 2: two years in the books in the NFL. His rookie season,

1103
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 2: he had sixty seven catches for one thousand yards and

1104
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 2: eight touchdowns. That second season was the strike season. They

1105
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 2: played nine games. He had forty nine catches seven hundred yards,

1106
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: made the Pro Bowl each of his first three years,

1107
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 2: and at the age of turning twenty four on his birthday,

1108
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 2: filling in for Bob trumpey, Who I assume what he said?

1109
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 3: California. I got a look.

1110
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 2: I would assume Trump was on assignment covering and was

1111
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 2: doing the Super Bowl at that time. Maybe or was

1112
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 2: it go I need to look in the see nineteen

1113
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 2: eighty three Super Bowl. I bet Bob Trumpy did that

1114
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 2: game for NBC. That was at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

1115
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 2: It was Miami and Washington. Let me see if that

1116
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:54,479
Speaker 2: has he was party. He was not the broadcast team.

1117
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 2: That was Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen, but it was NBC.

1118
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 2: So Trump was involved in Super Bowl coverage that week

1119
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 2: in Pasadena.

1120
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 3: So there you go. That's why he was out for

1121
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 3: a time.

1122
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 2: I love that. Yes, that is fantastic. We'll take a

1131
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,360

1132
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: were listening tonight from Indianapolis, Indiana and Mystic Connecticut. I've

1133
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 2: never heard of Mystic Connecticut. Thank you for using the

1134
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 2: iHeart radio app and checking in with into Sports Talk tonight.

1135
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 3: With that I heard radio app.

1136
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 2: Note from Major League Baseball tonight, Robert Murray of Fans Sided,

1137
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 2: excuse me. MLB Insider reporting the following that Major League

1138
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 2: Baseball has informed teams that this year's trade deadline will

1139
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 2: be Monday, August third, at six pm Eastern. It is

1140
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 2: traditionally July thirty first, It was pushed back a few

1141
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 2: days relative to last year's deadline. Major League Baseball, according

1142
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 2: to the report, prefers to have the deadline. On weekdays,

1143
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 2: they set the cutoff in the evening six o'clock so

1144
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 2: there are no ongoing games that night, must be a

1145
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 2: late schedule that day or afternoon games. That reduces the

1146
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 2: chances of a player being traded mid game. You've seen

1147
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 2: those scenarios where the player starts hugging everybody in the

1148
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 2: dugout and grabbing his stuff and leaving in the middle

1149
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 2: of the game. Or a few years ago, I'll never

1150
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 2: forget talking with Dick Williams about the trade of Yasiel

1151
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 2: Puig and that night of the trade deadline, Puig was

1152
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 2: traded and on the field fought the Pirates that night.

1153
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 2: If you remember Yasie Old Pueg taking on the entire

1154
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 2: Pirates team. He was traded in the middle of that.

1155
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 2: And you can certainly imagine the concern for Dick Williams

1156
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 2: of the trade if he would have gotten heard. But

1157
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 2: that's from Robert Murray, major League Baseball Insider. The deadline

1158
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 2: pushed to August the third now for this coming baseball season.

1159
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 2: That's allowed by Major League Baseball under the terms of

1160
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 2: the current collective Bargaining Agreement, which will run out come

1161
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 2: December two.

1162
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 3: Notes on college basketball.

1163
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 2: First, let's see preduing Indiana about to start, Kentucky about

1164
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 2: to start, Miami about to start those Dayton Flyers leading

1165
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 2: fifty two, forty nine seven thirty seven to go Miami.

1166
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 2: I just looked it up as a nine and a

1167
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 2: half point favorite tonight, trying to get to twenty one

1168
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 2: to zero, best start in program history. They have twenty

1169
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 2: six straight home wins. Do the Miami RedHawks. They have

1170
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 2: the following national ranking going into tonight. They are number

1171
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 2: one in points per game, number one nearly nine game,

1172
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 2: number one in field goal percentage, number one in two

1173
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 2: point field goal percentage, number three and three point field

1174
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 2: goal percentage, and number eight in the country in scoring margin,

1175
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 2: winning by almost twenty points a game. They have scored

1176
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 2: one hundred or more in three straight games.

1177
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 3: School record.

1178
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 2: They've scored one hundred and more seven times this season,

1179
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 2: and this is incredible. They have shot fifty percent or

1180
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 2: better from the field sixteen of their twenty games this year,

1181
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 2: sixteen times shooting fifty percent or better.

1182
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 3: All right, let's wrap it up with this.

1183
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 2: On this date in sports history, nineteen thirty seven, the

1184
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 2: worst flood in Cincinnati history. In an dates Crosley field

1185
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 2: twenty one feet of water standing at home plate, and

1186
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 2: the lower grand stand was completely underwater. In an iconic photo,

1187
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 2: two Reds pitchers were seen rowing a boat over the

1188
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 2: center field wall on this date in nineteen thirty seven,

1189
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty three, Red's pitcher Epa Rixi selected by the

1190
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 2: base to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee. Sadly,

1191
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 2: one month later, the seventy one year old died this date,

1192
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two. How about this trade? The Phillies traded

1193
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 2: Larry Boa in a minor leaguer named Ryan Sandberg to

1194
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 2: the Chicago Cubs for a von de Hasus. Nineteen ninety six,

1195
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 2: the Reds signed free agent speedster Vince Coleman. He hit

1196
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 2: just one fifty five in thirty three games. All right,

1197
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 2: and finally, this this date, nineteen ninety one, don't tell

1198
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 2: Scott Sloan. Bill's kicker Scott Norwood misses a forty seven

1199
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 2: yard field goal, attempted the gun wide right. The Giants

1200
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 2: beat the Bills twenty to nineteen. The game was Super

1201
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 2: Bowl twenty five in Tampa, Florida.

1202
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 3: It will be remembered for.

1203
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 2: Perhaps the most iconic national anthem in Super Bowl history,

1204
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 2: maybe in the history of sports. Understand the time frame

1205
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 2: on this date in nineteen ninety one, the early stages

1206
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 2: of the Persian Gulf War. It was Giants, Bill Parcells

1207
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills.

1208
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 3: Heck of a game.

1209
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 2: But the afternoon or the evening kicked off with Whitney

1210
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 2: Houston performing the national anthem. I'm going to close tonight

1211
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 2: with that rendition. I will catch up with you on

1212
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:30,640

1219
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 2: he had chills. It is impossible not to listen to

1220
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 2: this without getting chills. It sounded like this on this date,

1221
01:05:56,520 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety one.

1222
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:38,200
