1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Is Tony Pike since e three sixty about Cincinnati. From Cincinnati, 2 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: this is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 3 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: Welcome back since the three sixty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati 4 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: Sports Station our number two. Thanks for joining us. We'll 5 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 2: grab some more phone calls along the way, and I 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 2: want to get to more of a Reds conversation. We 7 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: also have a little bit of a City Connect announcement 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: here Austin. 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if you saw earlier this week 10 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 3: what is believed the leak to be the Reds new 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 3: City Connect uniforms was leaked, and I think every single 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 3: new edition of the City Connect uniforms across baseball has 13 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 3: been leaked by somebody other than the actual teams. The 14 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 3: Reds are do for an update on their City Connect 15 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: and they just posted a video on their social media 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 3: that says on April ninth, so a week from today 17 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 3: today they will announce or unveil whatever is next in 18 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 3: their City Connect series. Now, if you remember, the Reds 19 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 3: on Friday nights typically where their City Connect uniforms, So 20 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: a week from today would obviously be a Thursday night 21 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 3: prior to a home Friday night game against the Los 22 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 3: Angeles Angels next week. So I would assume this is 23 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 3: an assumption that the Reds will unveil these uniforms a 24 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 3: week from now and wear them eight days from now 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 3: at Great American Ballpark. 26 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: Now, if you have seen the league and Austin, you've 27 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: seen this, are you in favor of the Red with 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: the pinstripe? Look? 29 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 3: I need to see the entire ensem. Do they go 30 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 3: red pants as well? I would like that. I think 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: it would look best if they went with the red pants. However, 32 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: there is a splash of white on the front with 33 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 3: that sea, so it's the same City connect sea, but 34 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: it's basically a white colorway of that sea, and the 35 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 3: name on the back is white. So it makes me 36 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: wonder where's the rest of the white in the uniform? 37 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 3: Is it gonna come from the pants? Is it going 38 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: to be a part of the hat? I need to 39 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: see the rest of it before I make up my 40 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: entire decision. I've always been kind of indifferent on the 41 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 3: City Connects. I didn't love the black ones. I thought 42 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: they're cool, but they're fine. I didn't love them. This 43 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: is basically the same font and style, the same branding, 44 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 3: all the same logo, but I'm assuming it's a different 45 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 3: colorway with the red jersey and maybe red pants. I 46 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 3: don't think the Reds have ever had a full red uniform. 47 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 3: I think there was a period of time where they 48 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 3: did have a red pant that they wore with white jerseys, 49 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 3: but I don't think they ever had red on red. 50 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 2: Let me ask you a couple of other I'd be 51 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: open to that would too. They shod a couple of 52 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: the Reds related questions. Okay, last year. Over the course 53 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: of the season, Matt McLean batted two twenty. Matt McLean 54 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: got the good year this year and by all accounts 55 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 2: looked like a completely different person. He has since started 56 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: a little bit slow again this year. We mentioned yesterday 57 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 2: it didn't look like he had any sense of understanding 58 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: what Paul Skenes was throwing out of me. Struck out 59 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: three times at the dish yesterday. Is it too early 60 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: for you, because I'm looking bigger picture and I know 61 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: what he did in spring training, also know what he 62 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: did for the extent of all last year. When you 63 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: look at big picture, small six game sample size, do 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: you have much concern right now around Mat McLean? 65 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 4: No? 66 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 3: I think it's unfair to all these players to make 67 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: sweeping statements about them and who they are. What about 68 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: a last year? Sure, I think it's fair too. 69 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: Well, then that wouldn't be sweeping. That would be one 70 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two games of him being terrible last year. 71 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: I think it's fair to question Matt McLean. I don't 72 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: think it's fair to say, Okay, well, twenty twenty six 73 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: is going to be exactly the way twenty twenty five was. 74 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: The thing I look for is like, how do you 75 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: look in the box? And I think yesterday was the 76 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: first time where it was like, man, Matt looks like 77 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: he's really struggling to pick up the baseball. And again, 78 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 3: that's against Paul Schimes. That's not an easy task by 79 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: any stretch of the imagination. He's still putting together what 80 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: I believe are competitive at bats yesterday. Notwithstanding, I think 81 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: he still looks comfortable in the plate. At the plate, 82 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: I don't see signs of major issues for Matt McClain 83 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: through the first six games. 84 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: What I think is a little troublesome is four of 85 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: your five top hitters in the lineup are the top 86 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: four team are tied for first and second in strikeouts 87 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: Ellie and Gino at ten. We knew that was going 88 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 2: to be the case. Friedel and McClain have already struck 89 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: out eight times. You don't want that swing and misrate 90 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: with your leadoff hitter in TJ. Friedel, throw another name 91 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 2: at you, because I think it's pretty known at this 92 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: point he doesn't hit Key Brian Hayes. Because the conversation 93 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 2: around Key Brian Hayes is he very well could be 94 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: the best fielding player in baseball, especially at third base. 95 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: You could also make the case that he is one of, 96 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: if not the worst hitters in baseball that plays on 97 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: a regular basis. Not a situational hitter, but a guy 98 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: who plays on a regular basis. We know this about 99 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: Key Brian Hayes. I don't think anyone here is thinking, Okay, 100 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: can Key Brian Hayes hit two to eighty for this team? 101 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: But there is a threshold that you've got to reach 102 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: if you're Key Brian Hayes. Where are you at right now? Again? 103 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: Six games in, he's hitting point zero eight three on 104 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 2: the year, And this to me, with where the lineup 105 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 2: is and potentially where the lineup is going, I feel 106 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: like this is one of the players you circle and say, Okay, 107 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: how is this going to be addressed if it doesn't 108 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: get better? 109 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Key, Brian Hayes is exactly who we all thought 110 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 3: he was. 111 00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: Uh. 112 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: What's interesting about him is he hasn't struck out once. 113 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: He's making contact and he has driven the ball hard 114 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: at times, but it's not resulting in anything, so it 115 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: doesn't really matter. He has drawn a couple of walks. 116 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: He hasn't been completely useless. I mean, he's not been 117 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: very much use, but he hasn't been completely useless. He's 118 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: exactly what I've expected him to be. I like that 119 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 3: he makes contact. I like that he's not just a 120 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 3: strikeout every single time. But this is the issue with 121 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 3: the way that they've built the roster, and it was 122 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 3: our issue throughout spring training. It's our issue now. I 123 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: think the Reds have it assed backwards right now. I 124 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 3: think he Brian Hayes should be coming in in the sixth, seventh, 125 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: and eighth like Dane Myers does. I don't think he 126 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 3: should be starting games at third base. And if you 127 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: are a continually offensively challenged team like this club has 128 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: been through the first six games and was for one 129 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty four games last year. You need to 130 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 3: do something to spark that offense a little bit. And 131 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 3: if that means taking a chance defensively, and I understand 132 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: defense matters, I'm not saying it doesn't. But if that 133 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: means you're gonna risk it a little bit more defensively, 134 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 3: I think there's something to that that can help you 135 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 3: get a lead. 136 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: And bring him in late. Right. That's I know, that's simple. 137 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: I just don't understand why that's not more the case. 138 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: Let me ask you about the outfield, because we talk 139 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: about shifting guys and where guys are gonna play, and 140 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: you're just constantly seeing guys in different positions are playing 141 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: and not playing. I look at a guy in Noove 142 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: Marte and Will Benson, who are seemingly splitting time in 143 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: the outfield right now. Can you be successful over the 144 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: course of one sixty two by platooning as much as 145 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: the Reds seemingly are going to platoon noelve A. Marte 146 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: is still looking for his first hit on the year 147 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: and only eight at bats. But is Marte the type 148 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: of player that deserves or needs consistent at bats in 149 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: the same way we talk about ree Hines or do 150 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: you go the length of a season trying to platoon 151 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: in the outfield as much as this Reds team does. 152 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 3: Can you be successful platooning? Yes, I think you can. 153 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 3: Can you be successful platooning with these guys? No, I 154 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: don't think you can. Because Weelvie Marte his career reverse 155 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 3: splits like he's got reverse splitz. He can't hit left handers. Okay, well, 156 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: Will Benson can't hit left handers either. He's not going 157 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: to be in the lineup against lefties. So then you 158 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: revert to no, Weelvi Marte. Meanwhile, Benson's in the lineup 159 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: against right right. It doesn't really make sense. 160 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: And if you go to Reese Hines, what's that look like? 161 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: Because he's a guy who needs consistent at bots. That's 162 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: why he's down in Triple A according to Terry Francona, because 163 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: he needs consistent at bats. 164 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 3: And I think you could very much make the argument 165 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 3: that right now, Reese Hines provides the most complete player 166 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 3: option out there. He's probably the best defensive outfielder they 167 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: have in the system, I would think, and has the 168 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 3: hottest bat in the entire organization. Correct, So I think 169 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: there's a af to that. I wonder how long the 170 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 3: Reds are willing to wait on the offense for that 171 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: position or those outfield guys to come around before they 172 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 3: look around and say, all right, screw it, We're gonna 173 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 3: give re Signs a chance to play every single day. 174 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: Speaking of coming around, at some point, it's got a 175 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: shift for some of these players. Spencer Steer is one 176 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 2: for seventeen with seven strikeouts, Tyler Stevenson one for thirteen, 177 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: and TJ. Friedl Is two for twenty two. Out of 178 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: those three players, who gets it turned around the quickest. 179 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Spencer Steer just because I think he's 180 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: the best hitter out of all of them. 181 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 2: Okay, had some weird at bats, I feel like, because 182 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: I feel like there's some competitive at bats, and then 183 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: I feel like there's times where he just looks lost 184 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: at the plate. 185 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 3: He's had two long fly balls that in July might 186 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 3: be homers in that ballpark and could be the difference 187 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: between the Reds being three and three and five and one. 188 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 3: And he might just be one of those guys who's 189 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 3: a notoriously slow starter, you know. That could be what 190 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 3: it is with Spencer Steer. He is moving around a lot. 191 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 3: I don't think that plays a role in it. I 192 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 3: just think he's the best hitter, and I agree with 193 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 3: I stand by what I said earlier that it's too 194 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 3: early to make these statements, but when we look at 195 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 3: trends that are beginning to emerge, that you earmark that 196 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 3: you pay close attention to. For me, it would be TJ. Friedel, 197 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 3: a guy who, from a defensive standpoint, is not a 198 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 3: very good center fielder. All the defensive metrics will tell 199 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 3: you that he's below average. He doesn't have the elite speed, 200 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 3: he doesn't have a great arm. Like the Reds like 201 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: have these moments where they care deeply about defense in 202 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 3: third base, but they don't at center field, and they 203 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 3: don't in the corner outfield spots where there are liabilities 204 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 3: at those positions. So I'm curious to see what the 205 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 3: future holds for TJ. Friedel, because just as concerning as 206 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 3: his start has been, Dane Meyer's start has been very impressive. 207 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 3: Four hits in nine at bat and it's obviously an 208 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 3: insane clip, but he's also done it against right handers. 209 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: He's got two big hits against right handers, and that 210 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: was the knock on him that he can't hit right 211 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: handed pitching, so I wonder, I just I want to 212 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: know what the threshold is before the Reds start deciding 213 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 3: it's time to tinker correct. And because of your your 214 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 3: comment of slow starts have plagued this team and the 215 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 3: importance of the month of April with what the schedule is, 216 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: you don't have the benefit of doubt and say, well, 217 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 3: let's just wait another week and let him hit himself 218 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 3: out of it. 219 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: You got to win in April. Yep, you do. 220 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: And so that's my These are the things that I'm 221 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 3: paying attention to that I'm kind of concerned about. I'm 222 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 3: not ready to, you know, give up on these dudes yet. 223 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 3: I think that would be foolish. But I do think 224 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 3: of that month of September against San Diego Milwaukee and 225 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 3: the Dodgers and the Braves and the Blue Jays and 226 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 3: the Cubs, and think, Ahi, it's this team gonna be 227 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: able to even make it that far with games to 228 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: play that matter. 229 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, before we get to talk backs, we'll grab a 230 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: phone call like what's going on. 231 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 4: Hey, thanks, you guys appreciate it. On that point. You're 232 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 4: just making I think when you have as far as 233 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 4: uh flow starts. I think when you have veteran, proven players, 234 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 4: possibly all stars, that are off to slow starts, you 235 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 4: don't worry about it as much unless they're having terrible 236 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 4: injury issues as much as you do younger guys who 237 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 4: haven't proven themselves yet. So I think there is a good, 238 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 4: good reason to have a little bit of concern. It 239 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 4: is early, but I typically you're going to see veteran 240 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 4: hitters come around quicker than you're going to see maybe 241 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 4: the young guys who haven't truly proven themselves yet. So 242 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 4: we just we just got to hope that's what goes down. 243 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 4: I got a quick football question for you. Who was 244 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 4: the first left handed quarterback to win a Super Bowl? 245 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 3: Man, I've heard this, born heard this before. I know 246 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 3: it's like a trick question. 247 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 4: No, no, no, it's not tricky Austin, it's not. 248 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: It's not. 249 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 4: It really is. But you guys, you know it's just 250 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 4: way before your time. But it's not like Art was it. 251 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 3: It's not Steve Young it was it was correct. 252 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: I don't remember, Yeah, I don't know. 253 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 4: Kenny Stabler for the Raiders, the Snake from Alabama played 254 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 4: for Bear Bryant and uh yeah, they beat the they 255 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 4: beat the Minnesota VIKA with their butt Super Bowl eleven, 256 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 4: and then Stabler took them the Raiders this five straight 257 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 4: AFC Championship game. So he's a guy you don't hear 258 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 4: about much because he passed. Well, they gave him his 259 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 4: Hall of Fame thing posthumously, but I just thought I'd 260 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 4: run that because the guy was really good. It's really good. 261 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 4: Did you hear what Sandy Alcantara did last night after 262 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 4: his complete game? 263 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 5: No? 264 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: Not after not after all? Yeah, yeah, because he didn't 265 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: in front of what about five thousand fans in Miami. 266 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's had it. He said, look, you know he's 267 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 4: been a fe fans. Yeah, you can't blame the guy. 268 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 4: And he's spent his whole career in Miami. You can 269 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 4: imagine the amount of frustration that guy's looked with and 270 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 4: he's been cool about it. But finally he said, you 271 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 4: people aren't even grateful. You know, you're yep, we probably 272 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 4: shouldn't even be here anymore. We should be in another city. 273 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 3: In defense of the fans, it was a twelve forty 274 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 3: game on a Wednesday. There's not a lot not a 275 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 3: lot of those games across baseball are getting sold out. 276 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: I tell you're not going to get a lot anymore 277 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 2: as a complete game with ninety three pitches like Alcantara 278 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: did yesterday. 279 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 3: A maddox they called a maddox. 280 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 4: But he has had many of those in his career 281 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 4: because he's been a stud for a long time. But 282 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 4: the problem is the problem is they never could draw 283 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 4: people ever. 284 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 3: No, he's Miami. 285 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: He never Now his starts have come against the Rockies 286 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: in the White Sox, but so far he's gone sixteen 287 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: innings and not allowed to earn run. He has struck 288 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: out twelve and only walked two. His next start will 289 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: come against the Cincinnati Reds. 290 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, so hopefully we can catch him and him a 291 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 4: little bit. Hey, I got a quick you on the NBA. 292 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 4: Oh no. Mark was talking earlier about closures going to 293 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 4: uh swamps too. But when you really look at the 294 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 4: all time studs like Rivera oh yeah, and Raleighers and 295 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 4: Goose Gossage and Bruce Suiter and Trevor Hoffman and Randy 296 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 4: Myers and Rob Dibble and even Diez and Chapman, these 297 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 4: guys rarely go into any kind of swamp. 298 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 2: Sure rare. The consistency is there yep. 299 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 4: And then with the NBA. I don't see how Joker 300 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 4: is not in the in the in the in the MV, 301 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 4: in the MVT thing. He's got thirty one triple He's 302 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 4: everything triple doubles. 303 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost like they don't value triple doubles like 304 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 2: they used to. 305 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 4: No, and STA gets away with matt on fouls. It's bad. 306 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 4: They got to do something about that. So anyway, I know, 307 00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 4: you got to go guys. 308 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, Thanks Mike, I appreciate it. To wrap 309 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: Austin the Reds and the Pirates. I saw an interview 310 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: with Faul s Kens. Did you see after they're hitting 311 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 2: home runs they had the traffic cone? 312 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really know. 313 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 2: Did you see the story behind this? So he was 314 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 2: asked about it on an appearance. He did because they're saying, 315 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: hoist the cone now in Pittsburgh and uh, Paul Skeen says, well, 316 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 2: we found a traffic cone before the Tuesday game in Cincinnati. 317 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: They just found it and they brought it into the 318 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: dugout and they hoisted now on home runs. 319 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 3: Okay, so we should press charges against the they stole 320 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: from the city of Cincinnati. 321 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, he said. The cone has been getting a lot 322 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: of years recently. No one knows what hoist the cone means, okay, 323 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 2: but they found it. 324 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 3: He also said something weird after the game. Paul said 325 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 3: that he has spent more time in Cincinnati the last 326 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 3: six months than he has in Pittsburgh. 327 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 328 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's just because, like they ended 329 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 3: the season in Cincinnati and they're back here early on. 330 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know if him and Vi 331 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 3: have been hanging out with Joe Burrow.

I had one question 348 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 2: I didn't get to you yet. Okay, I had one 349 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 2: for you too, you know. I saw earlier today that 350 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: ESPN is set to reportedly move on from their number 351 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 2: two Monday night football team with Lewis Riddick and dan 352 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: Orlovsky and Chris Fowler and early steps that is believed 353 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 2: that that will go to Kurt Warner and Jason Kelsey. 354 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 2: I also saw that Jason Kelsey is going to be 355 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 2: sent to the Masters to do the par three Challenge 356 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 2: on Wednesday of the Masters week. I'm a big Jason 357 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 2: Kelcey fan. Are they doing too much with Jason Kelsey? Yes? 358 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 3: This is what they do too much. This is what 359 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 3: ESPN does. They force people down your throat when you 360 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: don't want to see. If they put Steven a on everything, 361 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 3: they've been Kelsey on everything, like he's everywhere? 362 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 8: What like? 363 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: I just want to see him like on a board 364 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 2: breaking down on line play. 365 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: I think you take away well, that's because his personality 366 00:18:54,560 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 3: is so eclectic that like, they don't do that stuff 367 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 3: with him. And also they're not interested in teaching people football. 368 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 3: They just don't. And that's why I'm concerned about the 369 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 3: merger with NFL Network. In ESPN, I could do three 370 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 3: hours on this alone. That's also the reason why those 371 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 3: guys aren't going to be doing those games anymore. There's 372 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 3: also not going to be two Monday night games at 373 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 3: the same time anymore. That's being changed. But yeah, I 374 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 3: mean now they have access to all the NFL Network 375 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 3: talent and so they're probably going to change those booths. 376 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 3: But I really don't want Jason Kelcey at the Masters. 377 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 3: I don't want him doing stuff that's not football. Yeah, 378 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 3: I think that's fair. It's almost like they're almost kind 379 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 3: of treating him like a Marshaw Lynch and Marshan. Okay, 380 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 3: I could see that, but even then, you don't see 381 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 3: Marshaan all the time. Anyways, I was thinking, you know, 382 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 3: the last time the Reds did the City Connect jerseys, 383 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 3: there was a whole bunch of them sent out around 384 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 3: the city, a lot of them. We were not on 385 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 3: that list. No, do you think we make the list 386 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 3: this time. If they do it, Gosh, I hope so, so. 387 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 2: Are you betting yes or no? I would still bet no. 388 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 2: And it's kind of like hedging a bet in sports, 389 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: like for the team you like, I'm I'm I'm hoping 390 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: by saying no, I'm wrong, okay, and that we do. 391 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 2: I'd sure like. 392 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 9: One guys, Victa who in Kentucky. I've seen video of 393 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 9: Burrow in LA with his girlfriend going to a pool party. 394 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 9: I like the fact that he's carrying the football with him. 395 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 9: To tell you what I don't like. You know the 396 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 9: narratives out there that he wants to be in LA, 397 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 9: He's going to replace Stafford and this or that. Then 398 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 9: why are you adding to the narrative. You're always in 399 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 9: Los Angeles, You're never in Cincinnati. Why are you not 400 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 9: here working out? It's one thing if you're winning here, 401 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 9: but you haven't won in three years. It's a make 402 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 9: or break year because if you don't win this year, 403 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 9: I say, go to LA. But why are you always 404 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 9: out there or not here? Chador is in the facility 405 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 9: grinding in Cleveland. 406 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 2: They say, well, Chador's got a lot more to prove 407 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 2: than Joe Burrow. Other I I couldn't like it, and 408 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 2: it was obviously a much different level. When the season ended, 409 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: I wanted to get out of Carolina. I loved living 410 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: in Carolina. I liked being on the team. There's just 411 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: something about the grind of the season that you need 412 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 2: to get away, in my opinion, in the off season. 413 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 3: Every year that Joe Burrow has been the quarterback of 414 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bengals, he goes to California in the offseason. 415 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 2: It's not new. 416 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 3: It's different because he's done events in California and because 417 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 3: of who he's dating. Allegedly he gets pictures taken of 418 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 3: him all the time. Yeah, but it is he for 419 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 3: he used to go out there and train with Jordan Palmer. 420 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 3: He goes and hangs out with Nick and Joey Bosa. 421 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: They're best friends from Ohio State. 422 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 10: Like, this is not new, correct, Well, what happened fellas, 423 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 10: I mean a reason to red shitt that took that 424 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 10: series from the Pirates just this absolutely Blullot sent me 425 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 10: drop him too straight to a division rival, losing that 426 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 10: it's gonna come down and bite you later on at 427 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 10: some point, I mean, hopefully they get fixed. 428 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 2: Austin did a great job filling in for Tony and 429 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: for mo. 430 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 10: I still think you to need your own show maybe 431 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 10: from ten to noon and we join Tony there for 432 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 10: an hour or two afterwards or something. 433 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 2: Take care everybody today, go. 434 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 3: Right, making a lot of sense there, Kevin here you go, yeah, man, 435 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 3: Thank you, Tony, Johnny from healthy here. 436 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 11: Sorry, I haven't been calling in much more. 437 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 3: I just you know, when I get up at. 438 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 11: Five point thirty in the morning, I should just record 439 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 11: a song about my wife cheating on me, like multi 440 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 11: personality might. Let's get that done with. Look, future bets 441 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 11: are a big discussion right now. You know World Series 442 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 11: odds for the Reds Bengals, Nancy Nor thoughts, but I 443 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 11: really want to know what are the current odds for 444 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 11: the Memorial Day Basketball Tournament's bowling eighty easy plus or minus. 445 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 2: We're we looking after that. He's about plus nine hundred 446 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 2: at this point. Well, he would probably have the longest odds. 447 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 3: If he lands Billups. I think that would flip to 448 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 3: minus two fifty. Chauncey no, Jalen. I thought Chauncey's busy. 449 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 11: Also, like I know how you guys operate, Tony. You 450 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 11: know you're in your little room often you're in your 451 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 11: little room and you're not really next to each other, 452 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 11: but like, I'm sure you still piss each other off 453 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 11: or you know, either not sticking to time the script 454 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 11: or just saying something that irks the other. So, like, 455 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 11: how do you cope with that, like annoyance of each other. 456 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 11: Do you have like a stress ball that you like squeeze? 457 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,479 Speaker 11: Do you have pictures of each other you throw darts at? 458 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 11: Like what do you do when you're really mad at 459 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 11: the other but you're obviously not the same room and you're. 460 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 2: Live on the air. Yeah, normally Austin would just get 461 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: in my air and say, hey, we got to get 462 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 2: to a break now. Yeah, I don't know that I've 463 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 2: ever been like outside of that. I think we keep 464 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 2: to the clock pretty well. Yeah I don't, But I'm 465 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: saying I don't think we've ever been like really mad 466 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 2: at each other on the air, just slam anything. Then 467 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 2: we definitely have irked each other in the past. 468 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: I think we do a good job of just giving 469 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 3: each other space and then the other one will cool 470 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 3: off or whatever it is. 471 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that happens, but I don't think it's it's professional. 472 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think on the air, we've ever really 473 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 3: been mad at each other, Like there are times. 474 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 2: So there's been times where I've taken a call or two. 475 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: Actually I'll be like, dude, we've got to go and 476 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 2: the call. That's the only time that, like a two 477 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 2: minutes later, I'm still on. I'm running hot. Is when 478 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 2: you will take a call when we have to get 479 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 2: to a break, but you're when you will just let 480 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 2: a caller take over the show. That drives me nuts. 481 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 2: But I don't say anything. 482 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 12: Believe in the talkbacks. I can hear my voice on 483 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 12: the radio, start bench cut. What did the Reds usually 484 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 12: score during the game? 485 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: Zero one or two? 486 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 3: Just let just hear his voice on the radio. 487 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 4: From the groove. 488 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 8: I'm not pressing the panic button on the season six 489 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 8: games in. But I will say though that I am 490 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 8: very concerned about Amelia Pegan at this point. I don't 491 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 8: see how you continue to throw him out in the 492 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 8: ninth inning steer if you don't need to figure it 493 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 8: out quick, because I'm starting the question for Lake just 494 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 8: like I did last year.

Not a lot of time, 600 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 2: but a lot to say. 601 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 18: Marte should have never made the team out of camp 602 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 18: if they wanted him to figure out how to hit 603 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 18: left handed pitching. 604 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 5: You don't do that in the majors. 605 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 2: And then they're not. 606 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 18: Even pinch hitting him against lefties. So it really makes 607 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 18: no sense of why he's up here. I move him down. 608 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 18: I put Resigns up here for immediate offensive impact, crossing 609 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 18: our fingers.

I don't 614 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 3: know if you want that many lefties in the bullpen, 615 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 3: but it's possible. Also, I'm not saying this is true. 616 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 3: I'm not saying the Reds are thinking about this.
