16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: on today. So drilled to be there in Cincinnati. I

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: know Jim Leland has always said this his two favorite

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: places to be an Opening Day Detroit and Cincinnati, two

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: places that really appreciate the history of the game, the

20
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: tradition of Opening Day.

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 4: Though, I'm very honored to be there tomorrow.

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: You've been to Opening Day, I'm sure in lots of places.

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: Have you been to Cincinnati for Opening Day yet?

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 5: I have, and tomorrow I really want to.

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: So if you see you see me wandering around Finley Market,

26
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 3: feel a frey to point me in the right direction

27
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: of all the places I should go to.

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 4: Because while I've.

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 3: Been to Opening Day of Cincinnati before, I have never

30
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 3: actually done the fallow experience of.

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 4: Walking the parade.

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: So my grand plan is get up early, do my

33
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: Envy Central hit early, and then walk over the parade and.

34
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 4: Then come back. That's my plan.

35
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: So if you see me wandering around all the great

36
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: the Cindati natives right there.

37
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 5: Feel afraid to help me out and navigate. So I'm

38
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 5: going to the right places I'm supposed to go to tomorrow.

39
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: All right, Well, if you say a lot of nice

40
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: things about the Reds today, that'll ensure that nobody heckles

41
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 1: you as you're walking around.

42
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, sounds good. I'm all set with the

43
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 5: optimism right now.

44
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's do it.

45
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: What's the most interesting thing about this club is the

46
00:01:59,400 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: season start.

47
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: I think how sal Stuart is going to be utilized,

48
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: And I really I thought it was interesting to hear

49
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: Terry Francona's ideas and Mark Sheldon won a great piece

50
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 3: about this at MLB dot Com about how potentially you'll

51
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: see Stuart in between Ellie and Swatted. I think Stewart

52
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 3: is someone that we caught glimpses of him last year

53
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: down the stretch.

54
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 5: I am a big believer in Stuart.

55
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: I think he's got a chance to be a star

56
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: for this lineup for years to come. And when you

57
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: think about the way that he can compliment the skill

58
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 3: sets of Ellie Day La Cruz, there's a lot to

59
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 3: like about what this could mean for the middle part

60
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati's lineup. I also think having McLain back and

61
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: healthy and then the spring of the ad and obviously

62
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 3: we don't.

63
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 5: Always know that the numbers translate, and certainly he's been.

64
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: Hitting at this extraordinary level that's very hard to duplicate

65
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: in the regular season.

66
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 5: But he looks healthy, he looks comfortable.

67
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: Again.

68
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: This is the lineup that I believe will hit and

69
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: it's just now a question of with some of the

70
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: injuries pitching why it's how they how they were able

71
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: to navigate the early part of the season. But you

72
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: think about Swanas coming back a full year of Stuart

73
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: a healthy McLean I think it's gonna be a fun

74
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: lineup to watch.

75
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 4: Work this season.

76
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: You're you're speaking my language.

77
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: If I can get the Matt McClain just from his

78
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: rookie season in the two hole, and I can get

79
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: what I look south Stewart has passed every test they've

80
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: put in front of him. If I can get what

81
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: I think they can get from him in the four spot,

82
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: the two through five has a chance.

83
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 2: To be really good.

84
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: What would be your biggest question or maybe even reservation

85
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: about this club?

86
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: The rotation?

87
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: And I think that's that's probably it's an easy answer,

88
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: but I think it's the correct one.

89
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 4: Uh just based on the blisters.

90
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 5: Of course, Lodolo the news in the last twenty four

91
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 5: hours about him landing on the injured list, obviously Hunter

92
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: Green being on the IL two.

93
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: That's just a big question. I think for Abbott tomorrow, he's.

94
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: Got to set the tone that at least for the

95
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: next four to six weeks as their way to me

96
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: everybody to get back.

97
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: Up and to be at bull strength.

98
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 5: They're gonna have to be creative with this group.

99
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: And interesting that Habit's the first lefty to start an

100
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: opening day for the Reds since Mike Remlinger back in

101
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: the later years of Riverfront, So this is going back

102
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: a while. I was thinking to myself as I saw

103
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: that the news come across Habit, Okay, Lefty, what was

104
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: the last left you? And I kept thinking going back, Okay, obviously.

105
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: Harang alriety, Homer baili alrty.

106
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 5: I was going bok as a writing quite Alrighty, I.

107
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: Was thinking back all those years and Darna. It was

108
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 3: way back in the late nineties, so a different era certainly.

109
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: But it was funny because I actually I shared that that

110
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 3: note with Sean Casey and Aaron.

111
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 5: Boone said listen to this, guys, that's been since.

112
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: Remblinger, so that they were they were following that news

113
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: as I was sharing it the other day.

114
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 5: But I really think in a lot of ways, Mo,

115
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 5: it is the rotation.

116
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: They're gonna have to surprise on the positive end for

117
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: this team to stay in this NL Central race.

118
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: Early on in the.

119
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Year, well, Mike Remlincher started that game, and I remember

120
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: it well because I was in college and Pokey Reese

121
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: made four errors and they lost ten to two. So

122
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: I need a different result now, speaking of short stops

123
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: making errors. Here's what's interesting to me. You and I

124
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: have talked about the Reds for five minutes and we've

125
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: I don't even think we've mentioned the name Elie de

126
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: la Cruz.

127
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: That's good, right, He's not real And I just think

128
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: that when you talk about some of the brightest stars in.

129
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 5: The game, what he's able to do.

130
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: And one of my favorite big picture points is this,

131
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: when you discuss people that have a chance to be

132
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 3: stars in this game and faith the baseball, the biggest

133
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: question I often have is how durable are they? Can

134
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: they stand up to the demands of this profession and

135
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: be out there every day?

136
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: And I think one of the things that.

137
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 3: Impressed me in the most about Ali is just how

138
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: available he is and how consistent he is.

139
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 4: How dependable he is.

140
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: And he's someone that I think we haven't even seen

141
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: the best of him yet and there's a lot of

142
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: great baseball still to come for Ala de la Cruz.

143
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 3: So I've thrilled about what his future looks like. I

144
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: think the Reds know how important he is to their

145
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: long term success.

146
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: And when you consider the.

147
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: Waves they're gonna have to be, I think adaptive and

148
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: looking the ways to make sure he stays in the

149
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: fold financially for many many years to come. Obviously, they

150
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 3: pursue Schwarber in the course of the offseason, so they're

151
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: they're thinking about those those superstar type players. Ellie is

152
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 3: the face of this franchise period until something else, something

153
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: else changes what I don't expect it's gonna happen anytime soon.

154
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: He is the guy that everything revolves around, and so

155
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: I think making sure that he's healthy, dependable, reliable and

156
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: a long term part of the organization I think has

157
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: to be that the biggest priority for this team.

158
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 4: Now going forward.

159
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: John Morossi, MLB Network, appearing from GABP on MLB Network tomorrow,

160
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: give me an up and down snapshot of the National

161
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: League Central.

162
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: Cubs.

163
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 5: I believe are are the favorites coming in.

164
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: I think that the Bregman signing addressed a weakness they

165
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: had a year ago, so that's a really big move

166
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: for them. Cabrera, I've always felt is a bit of

167
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: an underrated arm I think that was a big move

168
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: for them.

169
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: The Brewers might be and.

170
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: We keep saying this every year, they might be in

171
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: a spot where they eventually take a step back.

172
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 5: Although Man it seems.

173
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 4: Like they never really quite do.

174
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: And I think the world of Pat Murphy as an

175
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: excellent manager. So I think for a lot of those reasons,

176
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: the Brewers are still right there in the thick of it.

177
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: But I really like what the Cubs have done with

178
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: their club over the course of the offseason.

179
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 4: Bregman is the.

180
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: Kind of player that really makes makes a team better

181
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: up and down the lineup the impact he has on

182
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: different players. So I look at Bregman as being someone

183
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: that will have a tremendous impact on the Cups line up,

184
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 3: up and down.

185
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: One more before we let you go the World Baseball Classic.

186
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: When when this event first was hatched, I could not

187
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: have been more skeptical. I thought, it's it's glorified spring training.

188
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: There's not going to be a huge buy in from

189
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: the players. And now when you were there, I'm watching

190
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: not just the final, but the entire tournament unfold. It's

191
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: now at the top of my bucket list, like I

192
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: gotta go to a World Baseball Classic semi final or final.

193
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: What's it been like watching that event evolve? What was

194
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: it like covering it this year? Oh?

195
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: So many emotions and please do please join us and

196
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: whether it's three years or four years, make sure you're

197
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 3: there it is. It is my favorite, whether it's every

198
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: third year, every fourth year, event to cover in the

199
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: entire sports universe. I've attended the Olympics before, and I

200
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 3: felt even more connected to this. It was just so

201
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: beautiful to see that that cultural coming together, the way

202
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: that the Venezuela has reacted when they won it, and

203
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: how meaningful was to them.

204
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 5: You saws what is just the.

205
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: Emotion all around him, I think, said all you need

206
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: to know about it, and just my ears it took

207
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: him probably four or five days more before they slept ringing.

208
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 4: And that's okay.

209
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: I'll take that as a occupational cost any day of

210
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: the week.

211
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 5: Just an amazing experience. And I think the biggest lesson

212
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 5: that we can take away is.

213
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: Just how many different ways the game is celebrated, whether

214
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: it's in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Mexico,

215
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: all around the world, even now the Italians getting into it.

216
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 5: I think it's important for us.

217
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: To all just appreciate the number of different pathways that

218
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 3: players have to come to this country and play this.

219
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 4: Game that we love so much.

220
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 5: And just a but what a blessing is to share.

221
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 4: This great game with the world.

222
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: So it was just a really emotional and proud moment

223
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: for me to just see what it's become and and.

224
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: Still moment it has even more room to grow.

225
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 5: So I just cannot wait for the next edition as well.

226
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, was awesome to watch. You got to be a

227
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 2: part of it.

Speaker 1: And again it's it's all my bucket list now and

229
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,760
