Speaker 3: And we move on to our number two. As we

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: get started each and every Tuesday. It's a little bit

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: different today because we are talking to our guy, Joe Danaman,

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: but we're just talking to the Joe Danoman Goodyear edition.

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 3: He's in Arizona, he's covering spring training. Still making time

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: for us, Joey d what's going on?

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 4: So before I forget, gentlemen, As I was picking up

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 4: the phone to make this call, I walked by Charlie

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 4: Goldsmith who was on a bench next to the mainfield

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 4: where Hunter Green will be throwing live batting practice at

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 4: about thirty minutes. Charlie was sitting down to a meal

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 4: of a nice sandwich, a bag of chips, and a sprite,

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 4: and he said, tell the guys. I said Hi, So

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 4: Charlie Golden Smith says hello. Starts out here in Goodyear.

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: Time.

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 4: I try to have the kind of wark ethic where

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: you're the first person in and last one out and

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 4: Charlie beats us every single day to the complex. I

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 4: don't know what he's doing here at seven am. At

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 4: least Jeremy and myself have TV equipment to set up.

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 4: It takes a good twenty minutes to get all that

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: set up before the guys even get here. But Charlie's there,

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 4: headphones on, get this work done, grinding, always grinding.

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 5: At red Spring Training.

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: Charlie once told me about his philosophy in spring training

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: and getting there early, and he said it is the

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: most important part of the day when you're the first

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: one in. And I won't divulge all of his secrets. Wow,

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's not a surprise the guy gets

34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: it done. And he said it's the most important and

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: impactful part of his day.

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 4: It amazes me every year A how much guys notice

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: who does get here early, and b how early the

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: guys do get here because they don't have a team

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: meeting until nine am local. I would say this place

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: is fully jumping at about seven thirty, with guys getting

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 4: here early, trying to get loose, doing whatever they have

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: to do to get a jumpstart on the day. It's impressive.

43
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 5: Terry Francona even.

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: Made note of that yesterday and we talked to him.

45
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: He said, it's impressive how ready the guys are to

46
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: get this going.

47
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: You guys have already been pumping out a ton of

48
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 3: awesome content with boots on the ground there in Arizona.

49
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: You've had a chance to talk to multiple multiple players.

50
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 3: I've seen conversations with Suarez and Friedel and Ellie and

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: Terry Francona. In the conversations you've had a chance to

52
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: have up to this point, are there things? Are there

53
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: messages that have stood out the most from different players?

54
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: Without question, Terry Francona set an expectation yesterday when they

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 4: had their meeting before the first full team workout of

56
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: spring training when he said, guys, it's time to go.

57
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 4: The understanding being that last year cool wild cards snuck

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 4: in had a taste. Don't forget that. Enjoy that, celebrate

59
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 4: that that's a good accomplishment. But at the same time,

60
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: now it's time to go. And I think that's been

61
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 4: echoed throughout that TJ. Friedel said it yesterday, au Hennio

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: Suarez said it yesterday. The idea that we have to

63
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 4: have the mentality that we're here to win championships, that

64
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: the idea of getting to the playoffs is no longer

65
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: the goal. And even if they come up short of

66
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: that goal and you're in the same league as the

67
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 4: LA Dodgers, we get that. But I think that has

68
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 4: to be the mentality, and that's what they've said so far,

69
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: that it's time to go, that it's time to graduate

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: from just making the playoffs to now competing to do

71
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: damage in the playoffs and having at least a mindset

72
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: that this team's going to show up and try to

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: win a championship in twenty twenty six.

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: What do you make early on of you, Honeyosuarez, because

75
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: now he comes back to the Reds as the veteran presence,

76
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: and I've seen different ports about him getting out there early,

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: him making an imp to get some work in at

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: first base and different things like that. What have you

79
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: seen from Smars Because it would be easy to come

80
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: back in and kind of rely on him the designated hitter.

81
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: My track record already is what it is, but it

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: feels like that's not the approach he's taken in his

83
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: short time already at training camp, at spring training.

84
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: So it was funny yesterday we're setting up to talk

85
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: to Aohannio and we're near about ten or fifteen fans

86
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 4: who are kind of straggling near the fence, and they're yelling, hey, hey,

87
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: Hennio hits forty hit fifty hard runs. And he's laughing,

88
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: and some guy yells, hey, get your four hundreds this year,

89
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: and Sous turns around and says, you know, I would

90
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 4: have to hit seventy five home runs this year to

91
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 4: get to four hundred. I mean, these are the kind

92
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: of expectations. Now, he says he loves it, He loves

93
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: the fact that people have the kind of expectations to

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: hit forty or fifty hard runs. But he said, listen,

95
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: I'm not a superhero. I'm not here to carry this

96
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 4: team or be the missing piece. I'm here to help

97
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 4: this team and do whatever I can to help this

98
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: team in the middle of the order and provide that pop.

99
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: But more than that. In Austin, you and I talked

100
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: about it on Sunday. WLW was the idea of his

101
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: presence kind of feels like a magnet right now for

102
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: the younger Spanish speaking players. So the red start of

103
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: the day, they went out and they did some pallisthenics.

104
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: They did jumping jacksons and running all the stuff you

105
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: do to get ready, and then they broke off to

106
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 4: go throw and they typically pair up and there's this

107
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: little group right of noelbe Marte, Edwin Arroyo, au Hennio

108
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 4: Suarez and Elie de la Cruz all kind of around

109
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: each other having a good time, laughing, joking, And I

110
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 4: think that's important. And I don't know if it takes

111
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: any pressure off of Elie. Certainly his presence and the

112
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: lineup takes some pressure off of Ellie, but just having

113
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 4: him here almost like a guy who has experience, has

114
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: the same kind of life experience of learning the language

115
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 4: from getting into the league in America, and I think

116
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: that's important for Ellie to have around. So he kind

117
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: of feels like not only the production in the middle

118
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 4: of the lineup is important, that that's why they got him,

119
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 4: That's why Terry Francona stopped his car on the highway

120
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: out here Bob Casteledi and said he thanked him for

121
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 4: making that move. But you can see he's kind of

122
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 4: a magnet with his personality to the young Spanish speaking players,

123
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 4: and I think that's really important for both Noelvie Marte

124
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: and Elie de la Cruz.

125
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: I've seen the interview with Ellie de la Cruz and

126
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 3: you just think of last year and how he played

127
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: in the second half and news coming out after that

128
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: of him not being one hundred percent, and then you

129
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 3: flash forward to the conversation that you mentioned that Terry

130
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: Francona had about you know some of these young players

131
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: and now it's time to take that next step. How

132
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 3: how do you feel that translates with Elie de la Cruz.

133
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: Have you seen a difference have noticed a difference early

134
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: on in Ellie de la Cruz compared to previous springs.

135
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: The first thing you notice when you get out here

136
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: with Ellie is he looks completely different in the upper

137
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 4: half of his body. And he told us yesterday he

138
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 4: went from two five to two seventeen, and I said,

139
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: all twelve pounds in your biceps. Because he looks that

140
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 4: different in his upper body. He said, what did you

141
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: eat everything you could? Did you lift everything? He could

142
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: have that I did everything I could to put on weight.

143
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 4: And the idea is that he felt like he wore

144
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 4: down a little bit as the year wore on, and

145
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 4: it's not just the quad injury that that really affected him.

146
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: He thinks he needed to put on some strength, some

147
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: weight to last the whole season. Now, I said, one

148
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 4: sixty two. Last year, you played them all. Do you

149
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 4: think that was a mistake. He said, I don't think

150
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 4: it was a mistake. He said, if I'm healthy and available,

151
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 4: I should play every single day. Now, that's one thing

152
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: for him to say that. Obviously, the Reds are going

153
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 4: to take a different path this year and they're going

154
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: to find ways to rest him and not make him

155
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 4: play all one sixty two. But that's the mindset he

156
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: has every year we talked to him. He said, you know,

157
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: what's the number home run the stolen bases? And he

158
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 4: shakes his head. He's like, you know, I don't care

159
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 4: about those numbers. He again said one sixty two. And

160
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 4: I think the mindset for him is if I'm healthy

161
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 4: and I'm available to play every day, the numbers will

162
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 4: take care of himself. So I said, you don't care

163
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: about the stolen bases, the home runs, the All Star games?

164
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 4: He said, no, no, no, I care about the All Star dates.

165
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: So that still means a lot to Ellie de la

166
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: Cruz to be able to get that on his resume

167
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: now is a two time All Star. But certainly, even

168
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: talking to south Stewart yesterday, and I didn't know this

169
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: about Ellie, he said he goes out of his way

170
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 4: for anybody that's new to the team or a young

171
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: player to go up, introduce himself, be available to that player.

172
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 4: And I thought that was interesting that came unsolicited from

173
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 4: south Stewart yesterday saying that about Ellie. So maybe that's

174
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: part of the growth as well. But certainly the big

175
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: change for him is how he looks physically. I haven't

176
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 4: seen him wear a sleeve yet, not in the two

177
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 4: days I've been here. He's not wearing any sleeve, but

178
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 4: everybody see the arms.

179
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 5: He looks great.

180
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: And outside of that, it looks like the same Ellie,

181
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: quiet but energetic, but this year absolutely bigger and has

182
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 4: more weight on to try to get through a season.

183
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: A sleeveless definitely a move he learned from you.

184
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 6: Joe.

185
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: You mentioned earlier in our conversations that you knew the

186
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 2: Reds would be ready to compete when they invested in

187
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: the bullpen. They did that this offseason. What have you

188
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: seen from any of those bullpen arms? Have you gotten

189
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: a chance to get a look at at him at all,

190
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: and what's the buzz, what's the conversation around those new

191
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: additions in the bullpen.

192
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 4: I've seen Pierce Johnson and I've seen Caleb Ferguson. Pierce

193
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 4: Johnson was very impressive yesterday during live batting practice. I mean,

194
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 4: he faced the best of what the Reds have. He

195
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 4: faced noelvi Marte, he faced Eli de la Cruz, he

196
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 4: faced Spencer Steer and Noelvie got the best of them

197
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 4: after along a back solid single, but he struck out

198
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: La de la Cruz. He got Aohelio Suarez on a

199
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 4: week round or to shortstop. So his stuff plays and

200
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 4: plays really well so far here in spring training. Caleb

201
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 4: Ferguson looked good on the mound yesterday as well. I'll

202
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: have to say this, guys. The guy that's impressing everybody

203
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: in me the most, not only with his ability but

204
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 4: his demeanor is Chase Burns. And you talk about the

205
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: competition for the fifth spot, and certainly Brandon Williamson's in

206
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 4: the conversation Rhet Louder, Certainly in the conversation. If everybody's

207
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 4: healthy leaving spring training, there's no competition.

208
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 5: It is Chase Burns.

209
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: He is his demeanor on the mound, of his presence

210
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: on the mound, how competitive he was yesterday pitching live

211
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 4: batting practice, you know, dropping f bombs under his breath,

212
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 4: yelling into his glove. I mean, it's the second day

213
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 4: of full team workouts and this guy's out there throwing

214
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 4: like it looks like in the playoffs game. So his

215
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: stuff we all know about, but his demeanor and competitive

216
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 4: fire out here at spring training looks different to me

217
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 4: from everybody else. That's a guy right now, I would

218
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 4: circle right and say he's got a big season coming

219
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 4: up if he stays healthy, because he just looks like

220
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: he's ready and it's only February, and he looks like

221
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: a guy that really really wants that job, and I

222
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: think it's going to be his as long as he's healthy.

223
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: Despite the optimism that a lot of us here in

224
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: Sinnatti Field joe the projections, whether it's Peakota or Fan

225
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: Grafts or the guy on ESPN saying that the pitching

226
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: staff is not going to be that good. They don't

227
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: really like the Reds for whatever reason. Is that something

228
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: that maybe is motivating to them, has that been talked

229
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: about at all. And how do you or what do

230
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: you make of that? The projection's not really expecting much

231
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 2: from the Reds.

232
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, no one's really talked about them, and I think

233
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 4: the projections are wrong. I've seen this team now, it's

234
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 4: spring training twelve or thirteen different times, and this is

235
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 4: a playoff team the way I see it, the way

236
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 4: it looks right now, with everybody in camp and everybody healthy,

237
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 4: they have the look from starting pitching, starting pitching, depth, bullpen, lineup, versatility.

238
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know if it's a World Series team.

239
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 4: I mean they are in the same league again as

240
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 4: the LA Dodgers. I get that, But this looks like

241
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 4: a playoff team. This looks like a National League Central

242
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 4: contending team. This team looks better than last years. Terry Francona,

243
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 4: are you guys better than you were last year? He said,

244
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: we have to be we better be, and he pointed

245
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: right to the bullpen as the first thing. He didn't

246
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 4: talk about au Hennio Suarez. He didn't talk about the

247
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 4: young core of players that need to take another step,

248
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: the Matt McClain, the Ellie daylor Cruz and everybody else

249
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: that we always talk about. But he talked about the bullpen,

250
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 4: and he thought the bullpen was going to be a

251
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: difference maker for the team this year. And I'm with

252
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 4: them you mentioned it, I'll know the Reds are serious

253
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 4: about competing when they started investing in the bullpen. They

254
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 4: did that, and then they went above budget and brought

255
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 4: in difference makers like Ao Hennio Suarez. So, no matter

256
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 4: what people predict about this team, having eyeballs on this

257
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: team now for a couple of days and understanding what

258
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 4: they were last year and what the ceiling is for

259
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 4: some of those young players, and.

260
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 5: Of course the new additions, this looks like.

261
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: A playoff team and possibly a National League Central winning team.

262
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: I have to ask. We heard recently from Terry Francona

263
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: talking about Sal Stewart. He said he's one of the

264
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: most advanced young hitters. He's I know, you guys had

265
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: a chance to catch up with south Stuart, and I

266
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: know Rookie of the Year is a thing that is

267
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: high on his list. If south Stewart is in the

268
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 3: running for Rookie of the Year this year, what difference

269
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 3: does that mean for the the outlook of this Reds team?

270
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 4: In your opinion, Yeah, that goes back to the versatility,

271
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 4: because you know, we know he can hit. He wants

272
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 4: to prove he can play defense at first base at

273
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 4: an elite level and that frees up Spencer Steer to

274
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 4: play at the outfield, get some second base. He's obviously

275
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: a proven first baseman as well. But how about south

276
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: Stewart writing Roy on his bedroom door out here at Arizona,

277
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 4: so he sees it every night before he goes asleep,

278
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 4: and he sees it every morning when he wakes up

279
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: that he wants to win Rookie of the Year. I

280
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 4: think we forget the guy only played eighteen games in

281
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: the regular season last year and in the two playoff

282
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 4: games as well, so you know, he hasn't had a

283
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: lot of time in the big leagues. And he talked

284
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: today and yesterday about the idea of he doesn't have

285
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 4: to prove it to himself. He knows he can compete

286
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: at this level. He knows he can hit at this level.

287
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 4: He said he felt comfortable in the environment of the playoffs,

288
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: so he knows he can translate to that kind of moment.

289
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 4: But he said he has to prove to Terry Francona

290
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 4: that he has to prove to Terry Francona that he

291
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 4: can earn it. And the thing about him is he said,

292
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 4: when I got drafted, you know, I wanted to earn

293
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 4: everything I got. That was never the dream to get drafted,

294
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: never the dream to play in the big leagues. He said,

295
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 4: the dream was to play twenty years in the big

296
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 4: leagues and for people to wear my jersey and remember

297
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: me in Cincinnati. So South Stewart, if he has a

298
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 4: good season, and I think we all expect him to

299
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: have a good season offensively, he's gonna be a fan

300
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 4: favorite really soon. With the way he carries himself, the

301
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 4: way he talks about himself, and the way he talks

302
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: about the team. I put him as my number one

303
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 4: most favorite interview we've done out here so far. And

304
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 4: what a nickname, Salvert because a first baseman they can hit,

305
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 4: so they're calling him Salver.

306
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: I mean, no.

307
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 4: Pressure, Jet, just go be Albert cool holes. But I

308
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 4: love his attitude, his demeanor, and his unselfish attitude when

309
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: it comes to doing whatever he needs to do to

310
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: get on the field and and prove he deserves to play.

311
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: There's also from a Major League baseball as a whole

312
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 3: standard there's a little uneasiness about news that came down today.

313
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: The executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association,

314
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: Tony Clark, resigned this before he was set to do

315
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: a lot of meetings out in spring training. Of course,

316
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: there are labor disputes that are coming up. Has anyone

317
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: discussed this much around spring training and the news of

318
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: Tony Clark resigning today?

319
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 4: It was talked about this morning.

320
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 7: Now.

321
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 4: The redspr director came to the media as we got

322
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 4: started today and said, anybody who wants to ask any

323
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 4: questions to the players about Tony Clark, we would point

324
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 4: you towards Tyler Stevenson, who is the player rep. Now,

325
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: I don't know if Tyler's talked yet today or if

326
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: he did, and I wasn't part of it. I wasn't

327
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 4: around for it. I'm interested to hear what Tyler Stevenson

328
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 4: has to say about that. That was interesting. You know

329
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 4: what else is interesting too with Terry Francona was talking

330
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: today about the ABS system and the idea of challenging

331
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: and the Reds play their first spring training game on Saturday,

332
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 4: and he said, basically, right now in spring he's going

333
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: to give the pictures and the catchers free reign to challenge.

334
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: Just go out there. If you feel the call is wrong,

335
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 4: go ahead and challenge it. Not gonna let the pictures

336
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 4: do it. It's going to be a catchers and batters

337
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 4: thing only, and so they can get a better feel

338
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 4: for it and start to develop a strategy as they

339
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 4: get towards the regular season. The other thing he said

340
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: is he doesn't want guys to use the challenges selfishly.

341
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 4: So if a player's in the slump and they have

342
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 4: two strikes and the strike three is called, and its

343
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 4: border line of the guys like I just need to hit,

344
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 4: I need to get on base somehow, and I'm going

345
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: to burn the challenge.

346
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 5: He doesn't want that.

347
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: He said, that can't be the way they use challenges.

348
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 4: So that's been discussed, but they're still developing a strategy

349
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 4: that we'll see that strategy not only here in Cincinnati,

350
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 4: but across the league. You made a great point, he said,

351
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 4: everybody's in the same boat, right You're trying to figure

352
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 4: out the best strategy to use this once the regular

353
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 4: season gets going.

354
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,159

397

Speaker 4: or whatever. He said, I always equate eating with relaxing,

398
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 4: and I'm the same way. I don't want to relax

399

00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 3: spent a little portion of your evening at Reading High

421
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: School as well on Friday night before heading out, what's

422
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: your what's your biggest takeaway from the high school?

423
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 4: That I have no idea what a chuck.

424
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: A duck is, and yet you didn't stay for it.

425
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 4: The guy said, bless his herd. You said you're going

426
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 4: to miss the chuck a duck. I said, I'm going

427
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 4: to miss the GCL championship if.

428
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: I don't leave.

429
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 4: You said, oh, you're going to Buller and State Act. Yes,

430
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 4: I'm going to Buller and State Act. I have to go.

00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 5: What is it?

432
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 2: Chuck a duck?

433
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 3: From my understanding, they take a bunch of ducks. You

434
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 3: buy ducks throughout the course of the half, and then

435
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: at halftime you throw it at a target in the

436
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: middle of the floor, and closest to the middle wins

437
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 3: a prize.

438
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 4: Chuck a duck, Chuck a duck.

439
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 3: Figure it.

440
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 4: You're a quarterback. You went to reading, you better win that.

Speaker 2: We need more of that.

492
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,360

Speaker 4: Quirky Miller.

502
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: It's hard to go anywhere else other than Quirky on

503
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: a day like today.

504
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 2: People forget that Scott Feldman started on opening Day.

508
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had the whole list. I figured a segment

509
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 2: as well.

510
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 8: I'm going to try to get through this without cracking up.

511
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 8: I have a start bench cut, and you can't say

512
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 8: none of them. Gotta you gotta start bench cut them.

513
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 8: If you were forced into the Naked Winter Olympics, start

514
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 8: bench cut the following competitions, Men's hockey, Men's downhill, Men's lose.

515
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna cut the luge. I'll probably bench the hockey

516
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: just because there's a lack of protection there, and I'll

517
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 2: cut or I'll start the downhill.

518
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: None really painted an awesome picture.

519
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: Did you not hear him? Yeah? So you can't say none.

520
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: You you do this all the time. You weasel your

521
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: way out of these start bench cuts.

522
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't finished talking. I was cut off. I said, none,

523
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: paint a great picture, but I'd have to start the

524
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: downhill and then lose. Can they still wear a helmet?

525
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 2: No, I don't know.

526
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: I mean safety first. I would.

527
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: I would for this exercise, we'll say yes, all right, I'll.

528
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 3: Bench lose, and then I'll cut hockey because that's just

529
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 3: too much going on.

530
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 13: Tony Man, did you guys see that UC is so bad?

531
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: If you lose to them at home, you get fired.

532
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: It's fun.

533
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 3: Wow, you must be talking about the team in the

534
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 3: top sixty five of the net and winners of three

535
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: in a row in the Big Twelve, the hardest basketball

536
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 3: conference in college basketball. But yes, go ahead with that.

537
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 13: In honor of fat Tuesday, I was thinking of Bobby

538
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 13: Bouche and the Muddow football team, and I was going

539
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 13: to do a start bench cut on Adam Sandler football characters.

540
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 13: But he's only played in two movies. So start bench

541
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 13: cut Bobby Bouche, Paul Cruise from the Longest Yard, and

542
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 13: Shane Falco from their replacements.

543
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 3: I gotta start the water boy. I will bench Falco

544
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 3: and I'll cut Cruise.

545
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: Believe you said that. I just did that. I'm starting

546
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: Paul Crew from the Longest Yard. Nope, I'm gonna cut.

547
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bench Shane Falco from the Replace. So I'm

548
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 2: gonna cut Bobby Bouchet.

549
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 14: Conversation that I had with Bob Castelini where he looked

550
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 14: at me and smiled and said, we're not done yet.

551
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 14: I didn't think that meant handing total rains over to

552
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 14: Phil where you're gonna go Castelini?

553
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 2: Good lord, I don't think it did. I think it

554
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 2: meant we're gonna go sign Nathaniel Lowe.

555
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 5: Ye.

556
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 15: Yeah, Hi, guys, missed you yesterday, Austin. I get very

557
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 15: very nervous and uncomfortable watching those MMA things too. I

558
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 15: think it's so barbaric, you know. I I I respect

559
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 15: every athlete, but oh man, I think there's some deep

560
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 15: rooted evil in that kind of fighting. Sorry, Tony, but yeah,

561
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 15: it's just too barbaric for me. Have a good day, guys, Thankspring.

562
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: Okay, hmmm uhh aj it seems as if your your

563
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: mic wasn't on.

564
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 3: I'm on aj.

565
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 4: H.

566
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 6: Shout out to my boy, my son Easton Pranny. He

567
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 6: was named GMC Player Bowler of the Year, just qualified

568
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 6: for districts. Just now, very proud of the young man.

569
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 6: NBA All Star weekend. Have a great day, guys.

570
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: There you go.

571
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 3: I thought the game itself was good. I thought the

572
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: rest of it was what do you like? Luster Hey, guys,

573
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 3: Jeff and you rich menage Hey.

574
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 16: So I was thinking about the Jerome Tang firing and

575
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 16: I'm with you, guys.

576
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 3: K State has no chance admitting that.

577
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 16: You know, if you were going to fire him, then

578
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 16: you should have done it the day after they lost

579
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 16: to UC To let him coach another game and then

580
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 16: do it.

581
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: There's no way they're gonna win that.

582
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 6: No.

583
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: I have a feeling it would get pretty ugly for

584
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: Kansas State the longer this goes on.

585
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 17: Hello, this is former President Ronald again and Will I'd

586
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,920

587
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 17: in Fort Mitchell on Saturday. We had Kevin in Northern Kentucky,

588

589
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,960

590
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 17: Robertson was a no show. We did have former President

591
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 17: Gerald Ford. He came in, but we threw him out

592
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 17: after he asked if they had any Michigan.

593
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: Gear the nerve. Yeah, well said.

594
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 18: You know, Tony, you might have played a couple of

595
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 18: games in your day. I'm played a couple of games too,

596
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 18: you know, I'm an athlete as well. I don't know

597
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 18: if you're playing the game as big as this one

598
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 18: at two pm at the Evandale Rec Center. I'm not

599
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 18: sure you know what's coming. I don't think I've heard

600
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 18: you haven't been able to sleep lately because you're so nervous.

601
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 18: I get it, people's had like a nightmare, you know.

602
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 18: But hey, Seg said they might be getting us on

603
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 18: one of the stations.

604
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: They're moving the reds off.

605
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: But I don't know. That's just the word on the street.

606
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 18: But like I said, I heard Tony can't sleep, he's nervous,

607
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 18: he's shaken vomit on his sweater already.

608
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know they call it the Hayes in the barn.

609
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 3: And while we do, we do face our good friend

610
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: Liam on Sunday and Evendale Rec League at two o'clock.

611
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 3: I am certainly not worried, as I've already kind of

612
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: disclosed to Austin how that game is going to go.

613
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: Not worried about it. I'm just hoping that all of

614
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 3: our team can be there and not suspended by the

615
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: league for some actions from Sunday.

616
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, my sources are telling me that

617
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: there is going to be an increased police presence on

618
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 2: the scene at the Evandale Rec Center.

619
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 3: Yep, you would be correct.

620
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,360

Speaker 14: At the Kansas State.

624
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 19: Obviously, I was traveling internationally on the cruise line, so

625
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 19: when I had time on my phone, they say, just Quinn,

626
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,320

Speaker 2: March towny snack him. This is girth Brooks Austin.

633
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 20: You make the point about Jordan being the best ever, agreed,

634
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 20: But when it comes to being the best, there was

635
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 20: the best there is and the best ever will be

636
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 20: That title belongs to Brett the hit Man Heart Tony,

637
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 20: I assure you can agree, yes. And also Andrew Abbitt.

638
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 20: He's awesome. He's like our poor man's Greg Mannix. You

639
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 20: don't see guys pitch like that too much nowadays. I

640
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 20: appreciate him.

641
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 2: The professor, I like, I like that. Who is Brett

642
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: the hit Man Heart? Who's that?

643
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: He's one of the best ww wrestlers of all time?

644
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 3: Never heard of brother of the late Owen Hart the Lord.

645
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 21: I got a start bench cunt for your bucket list

646
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 21: of sports events? Okay, the Masters, the Men's basketball tournament,

647
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 21: or the super Bowl.

648
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 3: I'll start the super Bowl, I will bench the NCAA tournament,

649
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 3: and I will cut the Masters.

650
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: We've never been further apart. You are a clown.

651
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 3: How many NC Tournament games have you?

652
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 2: Clown? Take? Like four? Three?

653
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 3: Now I'm not talking about the Dayton Ones. Those count Now,

654
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 3: I'm talking about when you take over, you and a

655
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 3: fan base takeover a whole city. Nothing better, nothing better?

656
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: Uh, my bucket list of sports events. I would start

657
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: the Masters, I would bench the super Bowl, and I

658
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: would cut the NCAA.

659
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 3: And there's part of me that that likes to say that,

660
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 3: because that would insinuate that you See made it back

661
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: to an NCAA tournament, which would mean something.

662
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to use your words against you, just just

663
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: so you know if you See makes it in and

664
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: if they do, they'll be playing in Dayton because they

665
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 2: don't deserve to be there. And I know, but you

666
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: you you just made it sound like those games don't count.

667
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: And then wherever they go from Dayton, I'll follow them to.

668
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: That, well, back to Cincinnati.

669
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah for a day.

670
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 22: Oh to say Andrew Abbott is a lucky pitcher, that's

671
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 22: disrespectful to him. I thought the NBA All Star Game

672
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 22: was the best it's been a long time getting credit

673
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 22: for that. The Houston, Iowa State Game was phenomenal last night.

674
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 22: Miami of Ohio is gonna have a challenge on their

675
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 22: hands tonight at UMass. If they win that one, I

676
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 22: think they should go undefeated.

677
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 16: Come on, come on, Austin, Tony Leroy down here in

678
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 16: foumath you. I had a nice talk back yesterday Taylor

679
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 16: to Austin regarding his seven hundred WLWS show on Sunday,

680
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 16: and it was wasted on Chad Brinda. It had it

681
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 16: had Khalib downs in it. I had I had Joe

682
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 16: D's arms getting tired from.

683
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: Flying, Oh my goodness, and.

684
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 3: Even had beaten Ryan Kenyon mules.

685
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm sorry I missed it, enjoyed it and find it.

686
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think like Chad would be like, hey, this

687
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 3: talkback was left on to hear it on.

688
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: On Sunday, I was on w l W and a

689
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: caller called in to talk about how he doesn't think

690
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: the Bengals can pass up on Khalib downs. I said, who?

691
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: He said, Khalibs? He said, what about Caleb?

692
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 3: Him too? Hey, Tony Nason, I got an idea for you.

693
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: How about hot tub talkbacks with Tony and Austin maybe

694
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: on opening day or something.

695
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 3: Now you got time to think about it.

696
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: You know what kind of drink you're gonna have, what

697
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: kind of baiting suit you're gonna wear?

698
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 3: Come on, now, let us know what you think.

699
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 17: Start planning it.

700
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 10: You got time.

701
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: People are already mean enough to me the way I

702
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: look with my shirt on, so I'm probably gonna stay

703
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: away from taking my shirt off the public event.

704
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: Something like that would have to be sold. So I'm

705
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 3: pretty confident that we don't have to.

706
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I don't know that I would.

707
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 3: If it's sold, I'm doing it.

708
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 7: People want to say, sir Lebron ruined the dunk contest. Yes,

709
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 7: it's a huge travesty for the event.

710
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 2: I'll one up it.

711
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 7: Adam Done declining the home run derby twice two and

712
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 7: two and twenty twelve, that is the biggest travesty in sports.

713
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 7: I mean, we wouldn't even be talking about Josh Hamilton.

714
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 7: I'm done would have hit ten home runs, maybe five

715
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 7: five hundred and fifty foot home runs.

716
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 3: Come on, Yeah, it is one of the biggest what

717
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 3: ifs I believe in sports. What if Adam Done would

718
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 3: have just said yes.

719
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 2: Can you imagine the stack cast broadcast of the dog

720
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: for a Donkey home runner?

721
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 3: It might have also been one of the like only

722
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 3: derby participants ever to swing and miss at like eight pitches.

723
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: Brandon low better acquisition than au Hadeo Suarez, a superb

724
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 2: piece to come off the bench. I said it, Wow, Well,

725
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: Brandon low doesn't play for the Reds. That is uh,

726
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: that's Brandon Lee. Take Brandon Lowe plays for the Pirates.

727
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: I think he's talking about Nathaniel Lowe. And I would disagree. Yeah,

728
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: but I understand where he's coming from. To each their own, yeah,

Speaker 5: Man.

00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 3: Brandon Low would have been nice though. To this team,

00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 3: on a flight back to the States.

785

Speaker 2: The video she posted of them number one, the device

786
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 2: they have on her legs keeping it.

787
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: I don't think people realized how serious it was. She's

788
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 3: had four surgeries, yeah, and it basically looks like scaffolding

789
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 3: on her leg to keep it in place. I mean,

790
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: she's it's gonna affect her ability to like do everything

791
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 3: the rest of her life. Yeah, I I can't even imagine.

792
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 3: But she released a video. She hasn't stood on her

793
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 3: feet in a week. She's been in a hospital bed

794
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 3: and mobile since the race. But she is back home

795
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 3: on on us soil. But you got to imagine a

796
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 3: long road ahead and a remarkable, remarkable story here from

797
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 3: Lindsay Vaughn. And and uh again, I think she's kind

798
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 3: of noted. She doesn't know what's next yet but looks

799
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 3: forward to to kind of getting back to work. So

800
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 3: quick update on Lindsy Vaughn. We'll take a break, We'll

801
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 3: put a bowl on hour number two.

00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: We just have one segment here ton. Oh, I'm sorry,

00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 3: Where are we going here?

809
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 2: Let's go out to La talk to our guy Mike. Hello, Mike,

810
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 2: what's up?

811
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 5: Hi? Yeleman, how are you today?

812
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 2: Wonderful? How are you?

813
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 5: It's your Monday?

814
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: It is.

815
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 5: Yeah. Chad was in yesterday. I had to bust his

816
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 5: you know, cohunas a little bit. But that was fun.

817
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 5: I had a big kick out of that. So the

818
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 5: most really tough Couters turned into pussy cats last night.

819
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 5: Didn't they tell him that that.

820
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 3: Was a fun game last night? I hate that one

821
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 3: of the teams said, Liziowa State, you talked about a

822
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 3: back to back win against Kansas and then Houston last

823
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 3: night sixteen four run to close it out. That was

824
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 3: that was as good. I mean they said it during

825
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 3: the game. That was a Final Four caliber matchup that

826
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 3: you got last night.

827
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was, and the bear Cats caught him at

828
00:41:59,360 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 5: a good time.

829
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 3: Yes, I have no idea how UC beat that team.

830
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 5: No, well, because they didn't have two or three of

831
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 5: their best players. I think true there were some some

832
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 5: serious injuries there. But I was. I texted molest last night.

833
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 5: He probably got mad at me, but boy, he's in

834
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 5: love with Houston. For what is that about Tony?

835
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: To me? I think it's the it's the way in

836
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: which Houston plays that I think most resembles the UC

837
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 3: basketball Growing up that Mo and I both remember the

838
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 3: Huggins era into the Mitt Cronin era, where they weren't

839
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 3: always the most gifted offensive team, but they just played

840
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 3: so hard every time they were on the floor. And

841
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 3: I think there's a little bit of that to a

842
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 3: larger extent now in what Houston's able to do.

843
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, that's probably the affinity because when the

844
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 5: stuff you grow up with stays with you. There's no

845
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 5: way around it. Uh. As I get older, it's it's

846
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 5: it's very prevalent, and it's just it's almost not an addiction,

847
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 5: but you know what I mean, it's just or your

848
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 5: heart goes back to your younger days. I wish that

849
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 5: you guys could go to the Combine. That would be

850
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 5: the coolest show ever to have you and Austin at

851
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 5: the Combine. Yeah, they never talk about that and I

852
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 5: at the station or anything.

853
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 2: We asked, Yeah, nothing happened.

854
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would have to be a blast because it's

855
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 5: not that far away.

856
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, hour and a half. Yeah, go for a couple

857
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 3: of days. I thought it would be a pretty cool

858
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 3: idea just from from a coverage standpoint for me personally,

859
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 3: from being at the Combine as a as a player,

860
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 3: I would love to get back, as you know, kind

861
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 3: of in the role that we're in now here with

862
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 3: with the show and in the media. I think that

863
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 3: would be a cool full circle moment. But it doesn't

864
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 3: look like it's in the cards.

865
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 5: Well, and I heard him say, there's like three hundred

866
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 5: and fifty two players there, so you can really what

867
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 5: a what A what a It's like Thanksgiving for for

868
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 5: football college football play.

869
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,439
Speaker 3: It's not just that. It's not just the players either,

870
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: And it different than the draft and and things like

871
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 3: that because you have so many advanced scouts and departments

872
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 3: from your organization that are there and they all come

873
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 3: to to Indy and and it's not just what's happening

874
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,240
Speaker 3: on the field, but it's what's happening in the lobby.

875
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 3: Who's going out to dinner to get all of these

876
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 3: things that happen that that make it a really cool

877
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 3: event in my opinion.

878
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, you and Austin could could network for the show

879
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 5: and you know agree, I would think, Okay, my last thing,

880
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 5: I know you got to go I you were talking

881
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 5: about Hunter. Well, the only reason Hunter is not in there.

882
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 5: I missed a little bit of the show. It's just

883
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 5: because of his health situations. That's why you can't put

884
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 5: him there. You just can't.

885
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, his his projections are always going to

886
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 3: be projections until he's able to actually do it and

887
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 3: and hit those any marks that he's trying to hit.

888
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 3: And if he does hit those any marks, I think

889
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 3: there's going to be success that obviously follows him. But

890
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 3: until then, there's always going to be the big what

891
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 3: if with with Hunter Green?

892
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm looking when they talk. You know, you

893
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 5: were talking about the projections out of Vegas for the

894
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 5: Reds total win record. But I in the bullpen situation.

895
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 5: But I really think it's because pegn I guess now,

896
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 5: I don't have the numbers. You guys can tell me

897
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 5: the numbers. Was he a top ten closer? Way, because

898
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 5: you've got to have a big time named closure that

899
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 5: just when he comes in, it's pretty much over. So

900
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,959
Speaker 5: I don't I don't know where Pegns stacks up.

901
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 2: In that, in the in that, in that that's a

902
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 2: tough question. I don't know that i'd give him. I

903
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 2: don't know i'd see him as a top ten closer

904
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball.

905
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, top twenty maybe, yeah, yeah, I mean he would

906
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 3: have to cut it, would You'd think you think he

907
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 3: would at least get top twenty.

908
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 5: And this john what's his name, Pierce Johnson or yeah?

909
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 5: Is he's a lefty? Right?

910
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 2: No, he's a right hitter.

911
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 5: He's a righty.

912
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: So Amelio Pegan was fifth in saves last year.

913
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: Pretty good.

914
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had thirty two saves. It's more than I

915
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 2: thought he pitched in seventy games he only had he

916
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: had six blown saves, which is just about the same

917
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 2: as all the guys above him. So yeah, I mean

918
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 2: statistically he had a batting average against of one sixty eight.

919
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: So statistically, yeah, I mean you could put him in

920
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 2: that top ten mark.

921
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 5: Well good because I you know, I guess the problem

922
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 5: is you don't think of him as a flame thrower.

923
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 5: This this is what we've all been indoctrinated into. Now,

924
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 5: you guy's got to throw one hundred and twenty seven

925
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 5: miles an hour to be a closer, but not necessarily.

926
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 5: So I'm glad you clarified that for me. So thanks, guys,

927
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 5: you have a great show.

928
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 3: Thanks, Mike, appreciate it. Yeah, it's it's interesting because I

929
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 3: think in today's world, Austin, when you think of closers,

930
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 3: you think of someone that's going to come in and

931
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 3: you know, be the m h. That's not what the

932
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 3: Reds haveing Amelio Pagan, and I think it puts more

933
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 3: pressure on him being on right. If Pegan's not on,

934
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 3: he can't just beat you with you know, raring back

935
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 3: and finding another uh you know mile prior.

936
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 2: To on the fastball of the top five save leaders

937
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 2: in baseball last year. Two of them are friends of

938
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 2: the show. Amelio Pagan who has appeared on this show.

939
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: Jeff Hoffman, who has appeared on this show. Forgot about

940
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 2: Hoffman above them, Andres Munios of the Mariners, Robert Suarez

941
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 2: of the Padres. And the league leader in saves was

942
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 2: Carlos Estevez of Kansas City. But I mean you go

943
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 2: up and look at the the numbers. Sure, I mean

944
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 2: the one that I'm interested in is like is walks

945
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 2: and hits per innings pitched. Amelio Pagan was under one,

946
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 2: Hoffman wasn't, Munios wasn't Estevez wasn't. Batting average against He

947
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 2: was one sixty eight. Hoffman was two thirteen, Munnos was

948
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 2: one sixty seven. Swore as an stivs both well above that. Yeah,

949
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 2: so you know there were some times I had to

950
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,959
Speaker 2: eat some crow on Emilio Pagon. Yeah, and I still,

951
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: for whatever reason in my head, still don't view him.

952
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 3: As that hard thing. And maybe I don't see that either.

953
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's why because of that idea of this

954
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: this just dominant closer coming out of the pen. But statistically,

955
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,439
Speaker 2: I mean, the numbers don't lie.

956
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, we'll take a break, we'll come back our

957
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 3: three ahead. We've not touched on anything as it relates

958
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 3: to the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals.

959
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,000
