00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 3: Let's do so uh with the gentlemen. We get to

Speaker 3: speak to each and every Thursday as we start our

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 3: number three. Today just happened to coincide with the game

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 3: day for the Cincinnati Bearcats. From Bearcat Journal dot Com.

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: Our good friend Kegan nickoson with us right now. Hello Kegan,

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: Hello Tony. It's a wonderful day. Kegan. How are you?

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 4: I'm doing excellent. How are you?

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: How's your mental? You're now another week removed from your

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 3: national championship with Indiana u SE coming off a tough

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: loss against Houston. Where's your mental? Where does that fall?

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: On a day like today?

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: Anytime there's snow on the ground, it's to make me happier,

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 4: put a smile on my face ever since I graduated,

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: So it's not great.

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: We had a chance earlier in the week to hear

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: not only from Wes Miller, but from Gigsel James as well,

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: kind of talking about his path and how he got back.

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: Were there any major takeaways that you had in listening

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: to Gigsel James and sharing his appreciation for being back

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 3: with the Bearcats.

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 4: No major takeaways. I think it sounds like he's doing good,

25
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 4: which is great to hear. He's a he's a good kid,

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 4: and you know, seeing everything that happened, it was really

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 4: it was disappointing, and it was it was just a

28
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: sad situation. But I know there's a lot of opinions

29
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 4: on what should have happened. But to see a kid

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: be able to be reunited with his passion and kind

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: of do the necessary stuff to get back on the

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: basketball team around his coaches and around his teammates and

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: it seems like he's flourishing is really good. It seemed

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: like Wes kind of was may be getting a little

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 4: bit emotional when he was talking about it, which is

36
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: completely understandable. Like it's a it's a sad situation, and

37
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 4: it's it's good to see Jisel back with the team.

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: A tough situation to watch. On Saturday, as Houston took

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: it to the Cincinnati Bearcats seventy six fifty four. They

40
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: led by as many as thirty in that game, but

41
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: in the game itself, Mustapha cham leaves. He's on the

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 3: bench in the second half with a walking boot on.

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 3: Seanna Bive is not one hundred per he's dealing with

44
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: the high ankle spring. Sincere Harris was down seven days

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: according to Wes Miller, with an illness. Still no Haynes

46
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: for this team. As we get deeper into the season

47
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: now in the Big twelve slate from a health standpoint alone,

48
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: what's the latest we know about the Bearcats.

49
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like Sinceor Harris should be playing based

50
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: on the availability report last night. Surprisingly, Mustafa cham as

51
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: questionable and then Shauna bib and Jalen Hayes are still out,

52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: which I mean, if you kind of slowed down the

53
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 4: video of the Sham injury, it looked a lot worse

54
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: than it actually was. So when we heard Tuesday, when

55
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: we heard Wes say that he was day to day,

56
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 4: that was kind of surprising to me, especially given like

57
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 4: how quickly he went to the locker room with Bob Mangein,

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 4: how quickly he had a boot put on, and he

59
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: was sitting back on the bench because it was a

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 4: pretty quick like ankle roll, ankle snap, and then he

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: wasn't able to put any weight on it, So that's

62
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: a big plus. Maybe he just misses a game, which

63
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: I think, given the circumstances, or be a positive outcome

64
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: of what happened. But maybe he's able to play. So

65
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: I think this is a very winnable game for Cincinnati

66
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 4: if Musafacham were to play. If not, as you saw,

67
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: everything went downhill pretty quickly for the entire team, kind

68
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 4: of showing just how important seam is on both the

69
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: offensive and defensive side of the ball.

70
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: This team has not got consistent road play from their

71
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: position to compete at a high level in the Big Twelve.

72
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: And while we could talk about Jizzle with that as well,

73
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: I want to talk about day Da Thomas against Iowa

74
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: State the big win at fifth third areen. He had

75
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: nineteen points over twenty six minutes, just turn the ball

76
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 3: over twice. Since then in four games, he's combined for

77
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: sixteen points in eleven turnovers. What has happened right now

78
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: with Dayda Thomas? Is it confidence? Is it health? Can

79
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: you pinpoint anything that leads to the struggles of one

80
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 3: of the players that I thought you would look to

81
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: as a as a pillar on this year's team. A

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: veteran presence on this team has just not been so

83
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: at a consistent level. Does anything point to that or

84
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: lead you to believe what could cause that?

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, without any inside information, if I had to peg

86
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: it on one thing, I think it would just be fatigue.

87
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 4: Like the kids then playing thirty one to thirty four

88
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 4: minutes a game for seemingly the entire conference slate because

89
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 4: Wes Miller has to play him, then Gisel James that much,

90
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 4: Kurk Krisa was injured and wasn't playing, and now he's

91
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: back and he still isn't playing great. They're not going

92
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 4: to ask Keshan Tillery to play like twenty to twenty

93
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 4: five minutes every night. So Wes has kind of said

94
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: like he has to play day day and Jizsel for

95
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 4: as much as possible, and he's looking for ways to

96
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 4: get them rest. And it's just it's hard when you're

97
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 4: in this kind of situation and you're kind of grasping

98
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: for every whim possible. So I think fatigue could definitely

99
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: play a part. And you know, I asked Wes about

100
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 4: the Holman road splits and he was just kind of blunt.

101
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: He was just like, yeah, we have to play better,

102
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 4: like he didn't really have a formula for why it happens,

103
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 4: because I thought he might be able to speak on

104
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: it as kind of a former player just going through

105
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 4: those environments, because I mean, it makes sense for the

106
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 4: Homan road splits to be pretty different. But you've also

107
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 4: seen some guys perform better on the road. But it's

108
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 4: kind of just in a case of like, this is

109
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: why this since ninety teen is struggling so much. Because

110
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 4: you can't put together consistent performances on the road and

111
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 4: actually compete to win games when you're maybe playing a

112
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 4: team that's a little better than you and you can

113
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: steal a win. Those games have just kind of avoided

114
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: them this year.

115
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: Boba Miller's been so good for this team. He has

116
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 3: an off day against Houston. Houston does that to a

117
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: lot of people where they say, this guy's not going

118
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: to beat us. They made sure Boba Miller was that

119
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: guy on Saturday, just one of eight for two points.

120
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: But I would expect him to get back to his

121
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: form tonight. Another player that I didn't spend a lot

122
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: of time talking about, but we talked about the struggles

123
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: at GUARD. I thought keithschan Tillery was solid. I know

124
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 3: he turned it over a couple times, but fourteen points

125
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: against Houston. Have you seen some emergence of Tillery down

126
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: the stretch here that that you like about his game?

127
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny because Wes actually said after the game,

128
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 4: like Keishon Tillery is going to play in final fours

129
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 4: like in his career, and then some of the first

130
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: replies to the video where oh, well he's gone to

131
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: the confirmed, which I kind of heard that same thing

132
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 4: when I heard Let's say that, But I mean, he's

133
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: a guy. You know, you look at the situation that

134
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: you SE's currently in and if you play it out

135
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: like more than likely they're probably going to have a

136
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 4: new head coach next year. And I think Keishan Tillery

137
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: and Tyler McKinley are two guys that a lot of

138
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: fans would like to have back because Keishawn hasn't really

139
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 4: blown up the stat sheet, but he's right there with

140
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: Cincier Harrison Davee Thomas as the two guys who play

141
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 4: the hardest and they give one hundred and ten percent

142
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 4: every time you're on the court. And then it was

143
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 4: good for him to kind of have that good offensive

144
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 4: game and make those threes, but he's also played He's

145
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 4: played better defensively than I expected him to because when

146
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: I talked to his high school coach after he committed

147
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: to U, SEE, his big thing was, look, he's a

148
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: good offensive facilitator. He's a good scorer, but he has

149
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: to work on some stuff defensively, so I expected him

150
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: to look worse on that end. But he's looked pretty good,

151
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: and you know he's got to. He's a kid with

152
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 4: a great personality. He fights, so I think he's a

153
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: guy that I would like to see in Cincinnati for

154
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: the long haul. They can make it happen. But I

155
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: also agree with what Wes says that he's a guy

156
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: that makes the winning plays. So a coach, if there

157
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: were to be a change, if he were to enter

158
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: the porter after this year, I think a lot of

159
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 4: coaches would love to have him.

160
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: I do have to ask before I ask you about

161
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: tonight after the game, Wes Miller dives in a little

162
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: bit too, being in three time zones in six days,

163
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 3: multiple bodies down Arizona home back to Texas. I understand

164
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: that that's a part of what this team is going through.

165
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 3: I also think from a bigger picture, it's something similar

166
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: to what a lot of college basketball teams go through,

167
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: and everyone's banged up this late in the year and

168
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: the travel is tough. When you hear a coach kind

169
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: of turned to that and started with it not to

170
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: make an excuse, which he then into making an excuse.

171
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: What did you just make of the postgame comments after

172
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: a tough loss against Houston In looking at the schedule

173
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: where this team is at, I.

174
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 4: Don't think anyone or I don't think a coach of

175
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 4: a team who has the Big twelve is kind of

176
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 4: interesting because they're really really spread out. You hear this

177
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 4: a lot from like Mick Cronin and like those coaches,

178
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: And I understand where mixed coming from because there are

179
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: only three other teams on the West Coast in the

180
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: Big Ten, like Washington, Oregon and USC and then they're

181
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: spending so much time on the other side of the country.

182
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 4: I just don't get why coaches who aren't constantly playing

183
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: on another coast are kind of having that excuse because

184
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 4: everyone else is doing it. And like I know a

185
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: lot of coaches say, well, these are the current roles.

186
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 4: I mean, we all know we just wanted to be

187
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 4: back to how it wasn't A two thousand and seven,

188
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: like when it's just regional conferences, But that's not going

189
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 4: to happen, so you have to like make do with

190
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: what you have. The the kids that are good right

191
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 4: now are going to play pro and they're going to

192
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: have to do that. And I think I heard Austin

193
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: say it when you played the clip of Wes. I

194
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 4: can't remember what day that was, Like it's hard to

195
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: have sympathy for these guys when we know how much

196
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: money they're making and it's just a ridiculous amount of money,

197
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 4: and like it's it's kind of, oh, well, feel bad

198
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 4: for me. We lost because of this, So don't really

199
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 4: blame us when you just had to hop on a

200
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 4: flight and go in fly three hours somewhere in your

201
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 4: own chartered plane. Like it's not like you're in coach

202
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: on an American Airlines flight having to squeeze between two

203
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 4: people you don't know. So it's hard to feel sympathy

204
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 4: for that. But I also understand the pr side of

205
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: it of a lot of coaches are going to have

206
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: to find a way to spend something, So like I

207
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 4: don't blame Wes for saying that. I just I just

208
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 4: don't think he should expect people to sympathize with him

209
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 4: that much.

210
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree without a shadow of doubt. That being said,

211
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 3: they for whatever, in whatever way, Keigan. There's been times

212
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 3: this year where it felt like after a loss that

213
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: things are going to start to unravel and things are

214
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 3: going to start to spiral in the wrong direction. Especially

215
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: that could be the case after the Arizona loss and

216
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: then Arizona State and they came back and they beat Baylor,

217
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: and then they get beat badly against Houston and now

218
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: you turn around and you're probably shorthanded again. What do

219
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: you expect just from a of an effort standpoint tonight,

220
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 3: because they have at least answered that bell multiple times

221
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: this year.

222
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think since your Harris should have

223
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 4: maybe his best game of the season defensively because he's

224
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 4: shown in his career how much he likes going up

225
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 4: against either former teams or teams that kind of denied

226
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: him a scholarship kind of thing. So those personal challenges

227
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: I think since your Harris takes advantage of. He'll also

228
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 4: be pretty well rest after recovering for a whole week

229
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 4: with having the flu, so maybe he'll just have a

230
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 4: great game. But I also like you talked about it

231
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 4: earlier with the splits with Data and Jizzl. Usually after

232
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 4: they struggle, they have really good offensive games. It's kind

233
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 4: of a pretty consistent trend. So look for those two

234
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 4: to explode. I just think the biggest thing for me

235
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 4: would be is Musafa Chom playing because that impacts Baba

236
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 4: Miller a lot, and it impacts the entire team. So

237
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 4: hopefully they know now and it's not like an hour

238
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 4: and a half before tip thing and then you just

239
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: have to completely change your game plan or maybe they

240
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: had those contingencies and then on or Huff like I

241
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: think he made seven threes against you see when they

242
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: played in January. He went one for thirteen from the

243
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: field in their last game and went one from nine

244
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 4: from three, So don't expect him to have another poor game.

245
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 4: They need to try to shut him down if they can,

246
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 4: like they did to Kingston Flemmings. West Virginia doesn't really

247
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 4: have the horses that Houston does to have three or

248
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 4: four guys in double figures, so that should really help

249
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: your case to get a home win.

250
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see again how how they fight tonight.

251
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: You mentioned what the path to victory would be the

252
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: first go around was one of those games this year

253
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 3: where they it felt like had it locked up and

254
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 3: fell apart late. That to me is the concern of

255
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: at some point is enough going to be enough to

256
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: where this team just says, man, it's just not our year.

257
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: They continue to fight, but things aren't happening for them.

258
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: I'm so interested to see how that pans out going forward.

259
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: I do have to ask on the football side of things,

260
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: some additions made to this team. How hard is it

261
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: when you add in the portal age and the nil

262
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: world to really understand what the team is getting. Can

263
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: you identify that as it's happening or do you need

264
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: to wait until you start to see these guys on

265
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: the field to be able to kind of view how

266
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 3: everyone meshes together.

267
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. I usually have no idea until spring practice. Like

268
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 4: I can get some information on maybe what specific positions

269
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 4: some guys will play, like safeties, who's playing the middle

270
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 4: safety spot fielder, boundary, who's playing what linebacker position, and

271
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: kind of playing styles of running backs. But I think

272
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: one of the biggest storylines from last spring was the

273
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 4: wide receiver room and Jeff Caldwell really really popped and

274
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: you didn't hear as much about Cyrus Allen or Caleb Goodie,

275
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: and then you get the fall and Cyrus Allen is

276
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 4: all of a sudden the best wide receiver and the

277
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: most productive. So I'm really looking forward to this one

278
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 4: because there's so many new faces. There's also so many

279
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 4: guys who immediately can step in and have huge roles

280
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 4: on the defense, like Kenyan Goodwill from South Alabama. I

281
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: think he'll be one of the better players in the

282
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 4: defense next year. And that wouldn't be the case if

283
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 4: they had brought back Christian Harrison and Jaquan Thanks and look,

284
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 4: I if you had to ask me, I would probably

285
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 4: rather have Christian Harrison and Jikwan Sayings run it back

286
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six. But at the very least, it

287
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 4: kind of gives some storylines and something to be curious about.

288
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: And when you're in this stage of you know, Cincinnati Athletics,

289
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: you have to take everything you can get. So Ty

290
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 4: Goodwill is the stud and then also friend Schild, the

291
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: six four sixty five wide receiver from the Colorado school

292
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: of mine. Yes, he's someone that he's someone I'm going

293
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 4: to have a close.

294
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: Eye on, you said, minds not Mine's.

295
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 4: Minds. Okay, Colorado School of Mine.

296
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 3: All right, well it could have am im yes, could

297
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: be interesting. Give me your score predictions for tonight, Keagan,

298
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: put your put your name on it right now.

299
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: If Data Ages are going to have a good offensive game,

300
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say they're going to surpass seventy four. So

301
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say tventy six to sixty eight. There we go, Cincinnati,

302
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: There we go. Thanks.

00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: next on the Home of the Bengals, ESPN fifteen thirty

313
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Sports Station. Now, welcome back since e three to

314
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: sixty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station, Our number three

315
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: got a couple of loose ending things here we have

316
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: an opponent for the first Australia game, Austin. That's correct, yes,

317
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 3: just and the Rams. That's a pretty good matchup.

318
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 5: It is not often, maybe never, that the NFL has

319
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 5: put a divisional game in an international slot. Yeah, but

320
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: that's what they're doing with San Francisco and Los Angeles.

321
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 5: It'll be the twenty sixth Melbourne. That's how they say

322
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 5: it over there, Melbourne kind of like it in Australia.

323
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 5: And again that's a precedent being set for divisional games

324
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 5: across the pond. I'm sure the Rams don't mind because

325
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 5: when the Niners come to LA, it's all Niners fans,

326
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 5: so that actually might be an advantage, not a little bit,

327
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 5: you say.

328
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 3: It is expected, with the NBA trade deadline approaching at

329
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 3: three o'clock that the Milwaukee Bucks are going to keep

330
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: Jannis onto the Koumpo in Milwaukee for remainder this year.

331
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 5: While we're on it, go ahead and give us the

332
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 5: name of the former Navy coach.

333
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: That would be ken Nea Montalolo. What about Nick Emon?

334
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: Nick Emon worry meeting with the media right now, the

335
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: safety for the Seahawks who entered his ankle yesterday turns

336
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: out he rolled it. It's a low ankle sprain. Just

337
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: moments ago said quote, I'll be good to go for

338
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty. We talked about him and read and

339
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: react earlier.

340
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 3: There you go. Very nice. Also, Vince will Fork, Rob Gronkowski,

341
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: and others have added bs on the stance of Tom

342
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: Brady not having a dog in the fight in the

343
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: Super Bowl? Why is it?

344
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 4: Why?

345
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 3: Why would Tom? Is it just because of his affiliation

346
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 3: with the Raiders and he's trying to go over and

347
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 3: beyond for that.

348
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 5: I think part of it is he does not want

349
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 5: to be perceived as a Homer. Okay, he's maybe trying

350
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 5: to toe the line because he does call these games

351
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 5: a lot.

352
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 4: Now.

353
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 5: I think the other thing is he's gonna hire the

354
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 5: Seahawks offensive coordinator be as head coach.

355
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: So good point.

356
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 5: If you're Tom Brady, wouldn't you either have the Super

357
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 5: Bowl winning offensive coordinator? Yeah, come be your head coach?

358
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: No dog in the fight?

359
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 5: I would imagine there's a little bit, a little part

360
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 5: of Tom that doesn't want the Patriots to succeed without him.

361
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 5: I don't know. These are just all these different things

362
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 5: that I'm thinking about. We have a little bit of

363
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 5: breaking news from baseball. Oh so, we talked earlier about

364
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 5: the strange decision for the Detroit Tigers to sign left

365
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 5: hander Framber Valdez to a thirty was it thirty eight

366
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 5: million dollars per year contract? A lot, especially considering why

367
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 5: they wouldn't pay Trek Scuball thirty two million a year. Well,

368
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 5: the ruling has come down and the arbitration case between

369
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 5: two time reigning American League Cy Young a Warner Award

370
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 5: winner Trek Scuball and the Tigers. Would you like to

371
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 5: take a guess what has happened?

372
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: Uh? He remains with the Tigers.

373
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, but do you think he won or lost?

374
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: Going to say he won?

375
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 5: He did. Trek school Ball won his case and will

376
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 5: make thirty two million dollars this year, sources tell Jeff

377
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 5: Passing the ESPN, school Ball's bet to go for the

378
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 5: largest salary ever in the arbitration system paid off, who

379
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 5: will make thirteen million more than the Tigers. Argued. That

380
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 5: means Tom that the Detroit Tigers will have seventy mil

381
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 5: tied up in two left handed starters this year.

382
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 3: Tell you what, though, the good two left handed starters.

383
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 5: They're gonna be a really good team this year. I

384
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 5: believe they also got a good young catcher coming up

385
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 5: that is a monster.

386
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 3: Do they become the best one to two pitching punch

387
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 3: in baseball?

388
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 5: No, Hunter Green and Andrew Rabbit exist?

389
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: Okay? What about the team with Ranger Suarez and Garrett

390
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: Crochet eh? Okay?

391
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 5: I mean those are they're both lefties too?

392
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

393
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 5: Who pitches for the Dodgers? Who are those guys? Otani

394
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 5: and Yoshinobu Yamamoto books. I mean he was legendary in

395
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 5: the World Series. Yep, yep, Dodgers are pretty good. Dodgers

396
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 5: aren't bad. We have some World Baseball Classic news as well.

397
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 5: Have you been seeing I have been following along to

398
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 5: any of this. No, So, guys are starting to report

399
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 5: a little bit early to spring training and a lot

400
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 5: of the World Baseball Classic guys report a little bit

401
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 5: early to get ready to go for the World Baseball Classic.

402
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 5: But there's been some issues. Teams don't want their guys

403
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 5: playing in this tournament. Oh and you know we talked

404
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 5: about the Reds and Ellie de la Cruz and how

405
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 5: there was a difference in opinion there and eventually the

406
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 5: Reds opinion won out and Ellie's not playing for the

407
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 5: Dominican Republic. Well, Francisco Lindoor, Javier Bayez, and Carlos Korea

408
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 5: all want to play four Team Puerto Rico in the

409
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 5: World Baseball Classic, but none of them are. It was

410
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 5: a big surprise. And the issue or the reason for this,

411
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 5: and it's beyond just these three, is insurance in their contracts.

412
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 5: So based off of the way their contracts are worded

413
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 5: and the insurance in their contracts, if they were to

414
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 5: get injured in the World Baseball Classic, their contract with

415
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 5: their major league club is no longer guaranteed. Okay, So

416
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 5: it's in a way kind of like the Samar Stewart

417
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 5: situation defaulting because you played in the World Baseball Classic.

418
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 5: And the Mets, of course, and Francisco Lindor being a Met,

419
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 5: have history with this when Edwin Diaz tore his ACL

420
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 5: celebrating in a World Baseball Classic win a couple of

421
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 5: years ago. Okay, So insurance issues cropping up all over

422
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 5: the World Baseball Class.

423
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: That was going to be my question with that is

424
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 3: why wouldn't teams want their guys getting extra reps and

425
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: of course, the risk of injury kind of outweighs everything.

426
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 5: I think think from what I understand is it's specifically

427
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 5: with players that have like pre existing or chronic conditions

428
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 5: is like the big thing. So, for example, a pitcher

429
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 5: who has had some elbow issues in the past, like

430
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 5: let's say if Chase Burns wanted to pitch for the

431
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: United States national team or Hunter Green wanted to pitch

432
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 5: the United States.

433
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 3: Nationals, say, is a value in some sense to that.

434
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think they would be able, or they could,

435
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 5: but they would be risking a lot because they have

436
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 5: previous elbow injuries. So because of that, your insurance doesn't

437
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 5: cover it, gotcha. And so I think it's beyond just

438
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 5: you know, the few guys we mentioned, like Carlos Korea.

439
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 5: But it's happening to a lot.

440
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: I get because we've seen in recent years how big

441
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 3: the World Baseball Classic has become and the passion that

442
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: goes into that. I would say I would see it

443
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: more for younger guys to say, YEA, go play in that,

444
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: because you're gonna get great experience. You're gonna pitch in

445
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 3: high leverage situations, you're gonna hit in high levelged situations,

446
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna play against really good teams. If you're a

447
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 3: veteran and you're kind of established, I would kind of

448
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 3: I would be hesitant as well. But if i'm if

449
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: I'm an organization and some of my young guys, like

450
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 3: for the Reds, some of those guys at the back

451
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 3: end of the rotation, yeah, go get some experience. Yeah,

452
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 3: go pitch on some high leverage games.

453
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 5: And there's even a guy like, you know, Miguel Rojas

454
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 5: who made that incredible play for the Dodgers to help

455
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 5: win them the World Series. He's thirty seven years old. Yeah,

456
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 5: and his insurer said, no, you're over the age threshold.

457
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 5: Like a tough one. He's never played in it. He

458
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 5: wanted to go play and there was an opportunity for him,

459
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 5: and they're like, sorry, man, you're too old. So yeah,

460
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 5: difficult to be tough pill stuff there. And then they

461
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 5: also lost. I think Jose Barrios can't play, Marcelo Mayer

462
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 5: can't play. So you remember a couple of years ago too,

463
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 5: World Baseball Classic when trade turned was just lights out,

464
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 5: was just launching homers for Team USA, yep. And then

465
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 5: he got to the regular season. I don't think he

466
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 5: got a hit for two months, so you never know

467
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 5: what's gonna happen.

468
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 3: Speaking of a couple of guys that could hit some

469
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: home runs and lit it up for a while. Remember

470
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: the Reese Hines emergence for the Reds. Yeah, uh, he

471
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 3: was one of the players. When Nick Kral went on

472
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 3: the one of My Hot Stove on Tuesday, Nick Krawl

473
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: identified a couple of sneaky Reds players to watch this spring.

474
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: Reese Hines was one of them. Obviously a player that

475
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 3: burst onto the scene and kind of came back down

476
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 3: to reality. Nick Kral said on Reese Hines, he cut

477
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: his strikeout rate by twelve percent in Triple A. That

478
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: was one of the knocks on ree Hines. Struck out

479
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: too much. And on this team, strikeouts are already going

480
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: to be at a high rate. You've got to cut

481
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 3: down on that number. Reese Hines in twenty twenty five

482
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 3: in Triple A Louisville hit three oh two, last three

483
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: O two three fifty nine five sixty three, fifty two

484
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 3: extra base hits in twenty one step. He's always had

485
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: a high strikeout rate. If he gets that under control,

486
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: that could be a potential name to look out for

487
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 3: for the Reds and n Carl also talked about Blake Dunn.

488
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: Blake done in the second half last year in Triple

489
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 3: A hit three forty four. Yeah, so again players to

490
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 3: keep an eye on. But the swing and mis rate's

491
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 3: going to be so high you would imagine for the

492
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 3: major league club that they're going to start prioritizing in

493
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: Triple A getting those strikeout rates down.

494
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 5: I know that the organization is big fans of Blake

495
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 5: don They really like Blake Donn. I mean that outfield

496
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 5: group in Louisville is going to be one of the

497
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 5: more interesting parts of the whole organization because it's not

498
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 5: just Reese Hines and Blake Dunn. It's also Hector Rodriguez,

499
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 5: who a lot of people think at some point this

500
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 5: year is going to join the big league club, maybe

501
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 5: at the middle of the summer. So we'll see how

502
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 5: that turns out. But yeah, I think, you know, part

503
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 5: of the reason why the Reds maybe haven't addressed that

504
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 5: position as much is because they feel comfortable with the

505
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 5: depth in the organization. Specifically those three guys.

506
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 3: ESPN dot Com kind of went through all thirty baseball

507
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: teams and essentially made big boards for the farm system.

508
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 3: The Red's big board as it sits right now, their

509
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 3: number one prospect according to ESPN dot com. Sal Stewart

510
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 3: number two, Alfredo Deno number three, Ret Louder number four,

511
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: Steel Hall shortstop, number five, Tyson Lewis shortstop, Cam Callier

512
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: is number six, and then as you just mentioned, Hector

513
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 3: Rodriguez a seven, Chase Petty is eight, Aaron Watson is nine,

514
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: and Edwin Arroyo is number ten. That is how they

515
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 3: view the top ten of the REDS farm system. And

516
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 3: I don't know how you trend up and down based

517
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: on the farm system. It does have Sal Stewart trending

518
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: up and Alfredo Dno trending down for whatever that that

519
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: may happen with. What about Camcollier. I think he's a

520
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 3: name we've talked about the last couple of years, but

521
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: just not at the level of the big league roster.

522
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know much. That might be a good

523
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 5: question for Charlie. I was impressed with Cam when he

524
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 5: was in here. I think there may have been like

525
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 5: some weight issues there at some point with Cam Callier,

526
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,479
Speaker 5: But that would be a good question for Charlie tomorrow

527
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 5: to maybe kind of check in just on his status

528
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 5: and what the expectation is for him this year.

529
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do list as well the next prospect to

530
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 3: debut for the Cincinnati Reds, and obviously Stewart and Louder

531
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 3: and Petty have already done that. They did identify, as

532
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: you just mentioned, Hector Rodriguez as the next one up.

533
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 3: He's a beast, good power, played fifty three Triple A games.

534
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 3: Seems to be kind of the next in line for

535
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Reds. We'll take a break, we'll come back

536
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes, and then we'll break and get

537
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: the Muegger for quick hits. All still ahead since he

538
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: three to sixty ESPN fifteen to thirty Cincinnati Sports Station,

539
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: finding it welcome back, since he three sixty ESBN fifteen

540
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 3: thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. I'm got to write this down, Austin,

541
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: because I want this to come back when we talk

542
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: to Charlie tomorrow. A couple of things on the Reds.

543
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: We just mentioned the farm system. A couple other things

544
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: I have a question about. Is there any possibility of

545
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: Andrew Abbott getting the extension done before opening Day? Would

546
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 3: that make sense for this team and what they've done

547
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: in the past.

548
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 5: Where he was asked sense to extend a couple of

549
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 5: those guys.

550
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: So let's ask and let's ask him on them tomorrow.

551
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: And what did the signing of Suarez due to the

552
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: possible Ellie de la Cruz MVP run be aligned for

553
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 3: an MVP run? What does I just want to know,

554
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: what does a bat like that do for Ellie day

555
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: la Cruz. If we're assuming that Elie takes the next

556
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: step in his career and at one point he's going

557
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 3: to be a billion dollar player, now he has protection

558
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: or around him, could Elie be an MVP dark horse.

559
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 5: I've learned not to assume.

560
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: Well you took. I mean, if you're gonna sprinkle on

561
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 3: Mount McLain, truly you'd sprinkle on Ellie.

562
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I did, I sprinkle on both of them.

563
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 5: All right again, well I might as well. The value

564
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: is going to be stupid because shohe still exists, He's

565
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 5: gonna win it, so you might as well flush it

566
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 5: down to drain. But you know, you never.

567
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 3: Thought it was interesting the Suarez move in the Pittsburgh Pirates.

568
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: According to Ken rosenthal Uh, the Pittsburgh Pirates strongly made

569
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 3: an offer to Iujannio Suarez. They were writing the mix there,

570
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 3: with the Cincinnati Reds said to also offer more maybe

571
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: more money, more years to Suarez. He ultimately came to Cincinnati,

572
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 3: and then from that, according to Ken Rosenthal, the Pirates

573
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 3: then started pursuing Framber Valdez, who, as we know and

574
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 3: talked about today, now signed with the Detroit Tigers. What

575
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 3: does that do to the Pittsburgh Pirates who have been

576
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: rumored in on a lot of different players and really

577
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: haven't added that much to the roster this offseason. I

578
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: thought that was an interesting dynamic as the dust kind

579
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 3: of settles from the moves made in Major League.

580
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 5: Baseball, the public pressure on the Pirates seems to be working,

581
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 5: and it is. The whole suarezt thing has then devolved

582
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 5: into a social media firestorm between Reds fans and Pirates fans.

583
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 5: So that's good. Re up that rivalry a little bit.

584
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: That's it. Speaking of rivalries, big rivalry weekend Duke North

585
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 3: Carolina this weekend? Okay, bringing that back? Has that lost

586
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 3: a little bit of its luster? I feel like I haven't.

587
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,719
Speaker 5: I don't yet been talk about as much either one

588
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 5: of us really been like a bona fide top five team.

589
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 5: Like At the same time.

590
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: Duke's top five. Now North Carolina is in the top fifteen.

591
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 3: So big weekend at college.

592
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 5: Also into that seluster with the coaches. Yeah, those coaches

593
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 5: don't have great personalities. I get that a little bit.

594
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 5: There are some that for a while Duke North Carolina

595
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 5: was more about coach k and Roy Williams than it

596
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 5: was anything else. Yep, and now Hubert and what's his name,

597
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 5: John something John Shire. It is otherwise a loaded college

598
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 5: basketball weekend. We'll get to that more tomorrow. We have

599
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 5: anything else before we get tomorrow. No, you've used up

600
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 5: all the time.

601
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 3: Well, Moulwager is now next Eggman, Quick Kits Eggman and

Speaker 6: It stays cold out there today is Tempters only top

609
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 6: out in the low to mid twenties, and as we

610
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 6: head into the overnight hours, expect tempters to drop down

611
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 6: to the teens. Mostly cloudy's skies will lead to some

612
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 6: snow chances for our Friday. As a quick clipper system

613
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,960

Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. And I know that because I did both. Like,

740
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: you're not capturing any of the essence of the game

741
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: or the event at Radio Row. It's like to be

742
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,680
