I was thinking about you 173 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 3: over forty years, and not just Xavier players, but the 174 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 3: incoming teams. How stressful for What was that for you 175 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 3: over the years, Lance, I tell everybody I'm no linguist. 176 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 3: That's before it took me. 177 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 2: You know. 178 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 8: The hardest thing in college for me to pass. 179 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: Was Spanish fantas too. 180 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 7: You had to have two years of a foreign language, 181 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 7: so it was not easy for me. Luckily, for me 182 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 7: up until about three years ago, Xavier was pretty easy. 183 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 8: But last couple of years haven't been so easy. 184 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 7: I struggled hard with Philip Boorvichingen this year. I'm not 185 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 7: sure why this has got in my head a little bit. 186 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 7: And first couple of games and it was embarrassed. Coach 187 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 7: Pattino kind of you know, during one of the exhibition. 188 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: Games, he kind of looked at me. I was like, 189 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 2: you know, it's boring. 190 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 8: Me today, you know, kind of an Italian accent. 191 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: And finally got it. 192 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 8: But yeah, it was tough, and it's it's. 193 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 7: Never been tougher than it is these days. It seems 194 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 7: like there's a lot more foreign players on the teams. 195 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 3: Has there been a moment over the years, a sore throat, 196 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 3: lost voice, drinking hot honey and tea during anything from 197 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 3: that standpoint that challenged struggle. 198 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 7: You know, I've definitely had some flus and colds and 199 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 7: so forth. 200 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 2: Had to get through. 201 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 7: I'm literally, let's say, wasn't two crossdown shootouts ago. I 202 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 7: couldn't talk when I woke up and went finally went 203 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,359 Speaker 7: to the little clinic and they gave me a steroid 204 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 7: or something, and you know, it still was a little rough, 205 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 7: but I could make it work. Finally missed a game 206 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 7: last year. Is the first game I ever missed and 207 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 7: I couldn't I it was kind of like a vertigo thing. 208 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 7: And I called Tom around noon. I said, Tom, I 209 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 7: don't think I'm gonna think I have to get find 210 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 7: a replacement. 211 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 8: I didn't want to wait to the last minute on him. 212 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 3: I was spinning through my head from Schmidfield House to 213 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: Cincinnati Gardens to Centai Center. And You're probably getting asked 214 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: this a lot over the last twenty four to forty 215 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: eight hours. Is is there a game or a performance 216 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 3: that stands out that you witnessed in your role over 217 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 3: the years. 218 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 7: You know, there's a lot of them. I'm a Cincinnati 219 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 7: guy like you, and I very much respect the Crosstown Shootout. 220 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 7: And my dad graduated from University of Cincinnati Pharmacy College, 221 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 7: you know, right around the time that they were that. 222 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 7: You see what they make five final fours in a row, 223 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 7: So you know, I have respect for the program, and 224 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 7: so anytime I got to do a Crosstown shootout, it 225 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 7: was amazing to me. The first one I did, I 226 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 7: literally felt like I was in a surreal situation and 227 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 7: had to like pinch myself to believe I'm doing this. 228 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: I mean seriously. 229 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 7: So yeah, I think that you know, any time I 230 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 7: did a Crosstown shootout from shore that that would be there. 231 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: I remember the. 232 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 7: I think it was two thousand and nine the Land. 233 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 7: You know, it was Lance Stevenson. 234 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 8: Kind of versus Jordan Crawford. 235 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: You know, was how it was built. 236 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 7: But two Holloway ended up scoring twenty nine points and 237 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 7: went the double overtime. It was a phenomenal game, the 238 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 7: ninety nine Crosstown Shootout when you know Kenyon Martin and 239 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 7: that team, you know, there was number one in the country, 240 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 7: and you know, if Kenyon hadn't gotten hurt in the 241 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 7: conference tournament, they probably would have won the national championship. 242 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 7: And Xavier quite frankly, just didn't have that great of 243 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 7: a team. But you know, David West was a freshman 244 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 7: and Darnell Williams, who had just come off an injury 245 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 7: the year before it had to sit out, was a 246 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 7: richer senior. And he got off and Kevin came up 247 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 7: with a loose ball, went in for a lamp and 248 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 7: Xavier ended up winning that game. And you know, that 249 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 7: was an incredible, incredible game. The fans stormed the court, 250 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 7: and you know, I'll never forget that twenty sixteen when 251 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 7: Xavier knocked off Villanova when they were number one. Xavier 252 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 7: was number five in the country at the time, and 253 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 7: legitimately Villanova had five or six NBA players on that team. 254 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: That was a phenomenal team. 255 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 3: I mentioned the email I got this morning and again 256 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: was there are certain sports voices synonymous with their teams 257 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 3: that we can't imagine another voice replacing that was written 258 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: in the context of telling me more about you.

Bearcats moved 306 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 3: to sixteen and thirteen overall eight and eight in the 307 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: Big Twelve. They've certainly made things more interesting in terms 308 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 3: of bubble conversation, although let me preface that by saying 309 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: there is a lot of work still they done before 310 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: that's really in the equation. But big opportunity tomorrow night 311 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 3: with BYU coming to town. Bearcats get twenty four points 312 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 3: from Mustafa Cham they get twenty six points from Dayda Thomas. 313 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: UC shoots forty seven percent from the field, they shoot 314 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: forty one percent from three. They hit fourteen three pointers. 315 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: After the game, Dan and Terry was with Wes, and 316 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 3: Terry asked Wes, what's been up with the offense? Why 317 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 3: is it clicking so well of late? 318 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: The answer is actually very very simple. 319 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 9: We've never had continuity of personnel all year until recently. 320 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 9: So this was a good offensive team on paper when 321 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 9: it was put together, but it's never had continuity. And 322 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 9: over the last I don't know, you know, four or 323 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 9: five weeks, we've been able to get some relative continuity 324 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 9: for the first time, and guys are playing better together, 325 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 9: and then guys are starting to play good basketball and 326 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 9: being good rhythms. So I don't think it's like anything crazy. 327 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 9: I just think that we never had all these guys together. 328 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 3: I think they've top ninety in what four of their 329 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 3: last seven I have to look that up somewhere in 330 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 3: that neighborhood. Dayda Thomas goes seven to twelve from the field, 331 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 3: seven of eleven from three point territory in dropping twenty six. 332 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 3: After the game with Dan and Terry, Wes told a 333 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 3: story about dayd A. Thomas what it's been like to 334 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 3: coach him, and listen to the story. He adds to it, 335 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 3: here's Wes Miller. He's what coaching is about.

Let's get to the Let's 476 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 3: get to the Bearcats making things certainly more interesting. They 477 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 3: have a heartbeat. It might be faint, but there's a 478 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 3: heart beat. Big one tomorrow night against b YU. Lay 479 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 3: out the current crystal ball situation for the Bearcats. 480 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 16: I mean, if there's Cincinnati, all you can hope for 481 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 16: is just to continue to win. You gotta win the 482 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 16: next two games and then just kind of hope that 483 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 16: the bubble continues to do what the bubble has done. 484 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 16: I mean, teams all around are falling left and right. 485 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 16: You that teams lives into Pittsburgh and all of these 486 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 16: other lower level teams right now. So Cincinnati surging there 487 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 16: wins above bubble, which is one of the bigger metrics 488 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 16: that the Committee uses, still sits at sixty sixth in 489 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 16: the country. 490 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 5: That Eastern Michigan loss is just brutal. 491 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 16: But there's a chance if they went out, maybe when 492 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 16: a couple games over in Kansas City, we could be 493 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 16: talking about a tournament run here, maybe head of the 494 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 16: Daton or something like that. 495 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 3: The buyer me Red Hawks might be right now the 496 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 3: most polarizing college basketball team in recent memory. Everybody has 497 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 3: an opinion. They seem to be taking shots in all directions. 498 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 3: Size up there, you know the debate. I guess I'll 499 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 3: ask it this way, how confident are you that short 500 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 3: of I guess, let me put it this way. If 501 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 3: they don't win the MAC Tournament, what's your confidence level? 502 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: They would get an at large bid if they win their. 503 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 16: Next two regular season games and go into the conference 504 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 16: tournament undefeated. And then lose, like let's say, to Akron 505 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 16: and the championship game. I am relatively like ninety percent 506 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 16: confident that they would be in the field. They may 507 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 16: be playing a first four game in Dayton at that 508 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 16: point that they should be in the field. Now, if 509 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 16: they lose one of these games to Toledo or to 510 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 16: Ohio here in the next week, and then lose a game, 511 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 16: especially just somebody not named Acron in the MAC championship game, 512 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 16: it would be a little bit more tenuous. I still 513 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 16: think they have a good case, but I mean strength 514 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 16: of schedules killing them, And I personally think we should 515 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 16: have a thirty win team in the tournament, regardless of 516 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 16: who it is. 517 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 5: But I know there's others that disagree with that. 518 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, including Bruce Pearl, who the former Auburn coach now 519 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 3: TV commentator, who doesn't believe they deserve a spot if 520 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 3: they don't win the MAC. I think his premise was 521 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: they couldn't handle a power Force schedule. Well, they don't 522 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 3: have to face a Powerport schedule, but nobody can make 523 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 3: that happen. What just what was your instant reaction when 524 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 3: you heard Bruce Pearl say what he said. 525 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 16: I mean he kept using the term we in some 526 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 16: of these discussions. I'm sorry that his son coaches the 527 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 16: team that's on the bump. I can't be any more 528 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 16: point blank than that, like, don't lose the old. 529 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 2: Miss at home. 530 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: Very well said, very well said the Kentucky Wildcats. I 531 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 3: still have no Every time I think I have an 532 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 3: idea what to make of them, that I decide, I don't. 533 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 3: What does their what does their resume? What do the 534 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 3: metrics say? Where does that leave Kentucky right now? 535 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 16: So if you're looking at a metric, their resume metric average, 536 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 16: which there's three different metrics, twenty six point seven, so 537 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 16: twenty six team in the country. They're predictive metrics. Again, 538 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 16: three different metrics average out to twenty five point seven. 539 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 16: You look at that and you think they're right around 540 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 16: the twenty fifth team in the country. I currently have 541 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 16: them sitting on the sixth line. I know a lot 542 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 16: of other bracketologists are in that six and seven range. 543 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 5: Kentucky suddenly looks like a good team. 544 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 16: I mean, they looked great against Vanderbilt, and maybe they're 545 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 16: turning the corner and going to be able to put 546 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 16: up some better performances. 547 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 3: Here Ohio State has been in out around the bubble. 548 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 3: It seems that the stunner over Purdue's got to be 549 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 3: a nice resume. Add add to it, what do you 550 00:27:59,000 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 3: make of the Buckeyes right now? 551 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 5: Buckets are now suddenly in a great spot. 552 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 16: The biggest thing that had lacked from their resume was 553 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 16: a just top end win against the tournament teams, whether 554 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 16: home or away. They didn't have that, like ever elusive 555 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 16: quadrant one win. Well, this now gives them a Quadrant 556 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 16: one win, but it also it's a Quadrant one a win, 557 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 16: which is like the cream of the crop. So they 558 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 16: suddenly look like they're in a much better spot. Metrics 559 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 16: look good. 560 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 2: This is a team. 561 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 16: I have them above Dayton right now. That wind jumped 562 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 16: them up about five spots for me. 563 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 3: Indiana is at Ohio State on Saturday. Are the Hoosiers 564 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 3: on the outside looking in at the moment? 565 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: Absolutely? They are right now. 566 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 16: And we talked about Auburn a second ago. They have 567 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 16: a bunch of losses. Indiana is now four and twelve 568 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 16: and the top two quadrants, so quadrants one and two 569 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 16: there that is just a I mean, they haven't won 570 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 16: enough games, just point blank. They have some good wins, 571 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 16: but they have some really rough losses as well. They're 572 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 16: on the outside looking in. Probably need a win or 573 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 16: two here down the stretch to get back up towards 574 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 16: the cut line. 575 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 3: At this moment, six fifty seven on a Monday night, 576 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 3: what does your top seed line look like? 577 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 2: What four teams currently? 578 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 16: Duke, Michigan and Arizona and the Yukon pretty confident in 579 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 16: those first three. Yukon and Florida are kind of a 580 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 16: bit of a struggle here down the stretch. 581 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 3: You mentioned wins above the bubble. For the average fan 582 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 3: listening whose eyes might glaze over when we mentioned another metric, 583 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 3: explain in simplest terms, what the wins above the bubble 584 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 3: metric is. 585 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 16: So completely basic and I actually love wins above bubble, 586 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 16: so thanks for asking. It is a metric that evaluates 587 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 16: how a typical tournament team, so forty five forty six 588 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 16: in the country would do against that schedule. So if 589 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 16: you're positive, that means you've won more than they would expect. So, 590 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 16: for instance, Miami has won two games over that bubble line. 591 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 16: Indiana is on the backside where they've got a negative 592 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 16: wins above bubble, which they've lost more games than a 593 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 16: typical tournament team would against their schedules. 594 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: Perfect explanation. 595 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 3: All right, for those who have not checked out and 596 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 3: are going to check out in Ky bracket allergy dot 597 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 3: com and all you have going on, explain what you 598 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 3: offer and how they can find that and follow you. 599 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 16: Absolutely so Ky bracketology dot com or Sandsomsportsmedia dot com. 600 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 16: Throwing two sites out dot ja, I know either one 601 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 16: gets you straight to all of my content.

I didn't get to uh before that segment. 619 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 3: Miami is now a eleven and oh in a five 620 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 3: point or less game in the final five minutes when 621 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 3: they're within five. It's when it's a five point game 622 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 3: either way with five minutes to go. Miami's eleven and 623 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 3: oh this year, they are seven to oh in one 624 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 3: possession and overtime games. Final score one possession at overtime 625 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 3: seven to zero. In this stat from aptastats, this is 626 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 3: kind of an odd, quirky stat, but I love stats. 627 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 3: Miami has won a game this year. At least one 628 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 3: game this year scoring in the sixties, the seventies, eighties, nineties, 629 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 3: the one hundreds, the one tens, the one twenties, and yes, 630 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 3: the one thirties, they had a game really scored one 631 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty of plus points. No other Division One team, 632 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 3: according to aptastats, has done that in the last twenty 633 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 3: five years. That is a wild stat. Up Next to Dalton, 634 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 3: Reisner really wanted to come back. He's back.

He 662 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 3: got a technical. As he was walking off the court, 663 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 3: there was a DJ courtside DJ in the tunnel with 664 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 3: equipment set up and a speaker set up, and Travis 665 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 3: I also believe he was counting down the shot clock 666 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 3: because there there was there was an issue with the clock, 667 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 3: But Travis takes a swipe at the speaker and knocks 668 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 3: the speaker over it on the way to the locker room. Today, 669 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 3: the MAC, the Mid American Conference has fine Travis Steele 670 00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 3: twenty five hundred dollars for his halftime conduct during the game, 671 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 3: which is, in their words, he's kinduct violated the MAX 672 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 3: Sportsmanship policy, and they said Steele will also reimburse for 673 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 3: damages to equipment that may have occurred during the incident. 674 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 3: Myran Metcalf of ESPN tonight tweeting the following that Western 675 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 3: Michigan's the most incredible DJ Chuck, that's the name of 676 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 3: the DJ quote. The most Incredible DJ Chuck tells ESPN 677 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 3: that Travis called him to apologize today and agreed to 678 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 3: reimburse him for nearly three thousand dollars worth of damage 679 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 3: to his equipment when he knocked his speakers over on 680 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,280 Speaker 3: Friday night. So the situation rectified, taken care of. Everybody 681 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,479 Speaker 3: appears good. All right, let's talk some Bengals. The news 682 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 3: of the day. I think it was everybody. I think 683 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 3: it was something everybody was hoping what happened. I think 684 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,240 Speaker 3: there was a bit of handwringing of why hasn't it happened? 685 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 3: It seems like a layup. He performed well, you liked him, 686 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 3: he liked you. Why not re sign Dalton Reisner? Well, today, 687 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 3: Dalton Reisner is signed, sealed and delivered a one year deal. 688 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 3: According to Drew Rosenhaus's agent, it's in the neighborhood of 689 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 3: five million dollars with a chance to boost that a 690 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 3: little bit. The beautiful part was Dalton's wife, Whitney, broke 691 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 3: the news today on Twitter and her best Adam Schefter. 692 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 3: She went to Twitter with a video posting the news 693 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 3: at about ten o'clock this morning. Dalton Reisner was really 694 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 3: pretty good for the Bengals. He wasn't great, but you 695 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 3: didn't need to be great. I mean, what always amazed me. 696 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 3: He was signed ten days before the season started, ten days. 697 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 3: I'll never forget. I was in Traverse City, Michigan, on 698 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 3: vacation with Kelley and we were in a bookstore. When 699 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 3: I looked at Twitter, I said, well, I'll be dang. 700 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 3: They got it done. Ten days before the season starts, 701 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 3: and in Week one he played thirty six snaps against 702 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 3: the Browns. You know, Lucas Patrick started that game. He 703 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 3: heard his calf, and Dalton Reisner is plugged in in 704 00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 3: plays and played fourteen games this year. Started there was 705 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 3: a stretch of I think it was three straight games 706 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 3: he didn't start. Jalen Rivers got the start, and I 707 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 3: honestly think a lot of it was just kind of 708 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 3: getting caught up on everything. There was that initial burst 709 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 3: of playing for Dalton Reisner, and there just was so much. 710 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 3: It may have been a bit of a struggle in 711 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,919 Speaker 3: the first week or so, but once it got ironed out, 712 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 3: if you look what he did the rest of the year, 713 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 3: he wound up the leader on the offensive line in 714 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 3: pass blocking grade according to Pro Football Focus, allowed just 715 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 3: two sacks, allowed four quarterback hits. He played seven hundred 716 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 3: and sixty seven snaps for the season, and out of 717 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 3: eighty one guards. He ranked in overall grade twenty sixth 718 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 3: among guards. He ranked twenty third out of eighty one 719 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 3: guards in run blocking and ranked seventeenth in pass blocking. 720 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 3: And if you look over the final nine weeks, it 721 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 3: was riading Paul Daner Junior. In the Athletic Today final 722 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 3: nine weeks, that offensive line became much more consistent and 723 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 3: cohesive and productive. They ranked second in the NFL and 724 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 3: pressure rate aloud, sixth in sack percentage that's over the 725 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 3: final nine weeks, and fourth in rushing success percentage over 726 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 3: that span. So it clearly clicked and came together. So 727 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 3: the last thing you wanted to do was disrupt that 728 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 3: by not bringing Dalton Reisner back, because he had made 729 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 3: it known to everybody who would listen how much he 730 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 3: liked it here and wanted to be back. He met 731 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 3: with the media earlier today. I usually run a two 732 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 3: minute drill. I thought Dalton Reisner was good enough to 733 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 3: run a three minute drill. So if you can give 734 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 3: me one more minute, I think you'll find out why. 735 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 3: Listen to Dalton Reisner earlier today talking about why he 736 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 3: wanted to come back and how this now feels that 737 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 3: it's official. 738 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:41,760 Speaker 2: Here's Dalton Reiser. 739 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 17: A big reason why I wanted to come back to 740 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 17: Cincinnati is because of Zach Taylor. But I just feel 741 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 17: like I'm full of gratitude coming back and being with 742 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 17: Scott Peters. 743 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 4: Just got to give Orlando Brown a hug. Was on 744 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 4: the phone last night with Mems. I've talked to. 745 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 17: Ted, I've talked to Joe, just so many people, including 746 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 17: the fan base, including all of you guys, the city, 747 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 17: the restaurant, Jeff Ruby's. I mean, I could go on 748 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 17: and on about every reason why I wanted to come 749 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 17: back and how you guys. 750 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 4: Have welcomed me and my wife with open arms. 751 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,479 Speaker 17: We've known about this deal for like the last forty 752 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 17: eight hours, and it's been one of the hardest secrets 753 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 17: to keep ever. So my little Adam Schefter back there 754 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:17,959 Speaker 17: got to break the news this morning, which I thought 755 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 17: was pretty exciting. As you get later in your career, 756 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 17: I feel like you try to have some fun with 757 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 17: this because you never know when it's going to be 758 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 17: the last year. So I'm just super overwhelmed man with 759 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 17: gratitude and thankfulness to come back here, especially with the 760 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 17: ups and downs of last season. 761 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 4: After the season, I told everyone this is where I. 762 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 17: Wanted to be, so when it came to this process, 763 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 17: of course, it did take a little bit of time. 764 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 17: The Bengals and myself, I think were proactive in getting 765 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 17: this deal done ever since the season ended. But it 766 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 17: got to a point for me where I started putting 767 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 17: prushure from the agent. I got one of the best 768 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 17: agents in the world and Drew Rosenhouse. But I truly 769 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 17: didn't mean what I said. I didn't really care to 770 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 17: hit free agency and see if someone wanted to sign 771 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 17: me to a two or three year deal or maybe 772 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 17: pay me more cash per year. I wanted to be 773 00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 17: at Cincinnati Bengal, and it got to a point where 774 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 17: we were so close in terms that it was time 775 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 17: to get a deal done. So the Bengals did a 776 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 17: lot of compromising, and I did a lot of compromising, 777 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 17: and we came to a middle point, into a middle 778 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 17: ground to sign the deal. 779 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 4: And I was so thankful for that. 780 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 17: I got to give Duke Tobin a hug today, Mike Brown, Katie, 781 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 17: I mean, on and on Steven, so. 782 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,399 Speaker 4: Many people upstairs that I'm thankful for. 783 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 17: But this process was just so much different because I've never. 784 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 4: Felt this way about an organization. 785 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 17: I've never truly just wanted to be back and not 786 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 17: even test my market. And I'm at the point in 787 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 17: my career where this is where I'm going to be 788 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 17: my best with Scott Peters and Joe Burrow and Ted 789 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 17: Carris and Amarus Mems and I didn't really care about 790 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 17: the logistics side of it. 791 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 2: This is where I wanted to be. What was this 792 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 2: offensive line that just fit you? Like you guys seem 793 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 2: to have such great chemistry together. What is it that 794 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,280 Speaker 2: why you came in and it was such a good connection. 795 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great question. I truly feel like I've 796 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 4: never been. 797 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,399 Speaker 17: Seen or valued like I have here, and I think 798 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 17: that that started in the offensive line room, and that 799 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 17: started with Ted Carriss. Ted Carris is Cincinnati Bengals through 800 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 17: and I you know, it's crazy. I've never been a 801 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 17: guy that look up to very many people.

It was not 886 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 3: pretty against the Brewers one inning plus. He went back 887 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 3: for the second inning, although the first inning was really rocky. 888 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,760 Speaker 3: Triple wild pitch, run, single single, single run, single run. 889 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 3: He left after twenty two pitches. Then they brought him 890 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 3: back and spring training you're allowed to take a picture 891 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 3: out and then reinsert them the next inning, so he 892 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,279 Speaker 3: did that under the spring training rules. Second inning, he 893 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 3: walked the first batter, then a fielder's choice got it out, 894 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 3: then a double play got him out of the jam. 895 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 2: And it wasn't like. 896 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 3: Velocity was down, there was anything concerning. You know, he 897 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 3: was averaging ninety nine on his fastball. He topped out 898 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 3: at one oh one point one. I think on his fastball, 899 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 3: but it was not a good day.

In my mind, if 906 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 21: I'm Hunter, I don't show him any of that. I 907 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 21: would just throw my what I regularly throw and save 908 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 21: that two seamer for when you see him in the 909 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,280 Speaker 21: middle of the season when it counts. 910 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 15: Four seam fastball is drilled to center field.

They know what's coming if 948 00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 3: you're getting hit like that. But I was struck in 949 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 3: the post game what Hunter said about his outing and 950 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 3: how he tied it to the ABS system. Here's Hudder Green. 951 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 22: Results obviously weren't great, but going in you know the plan, 952 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 22: especially with the justin to the ABS, and wanted to 953 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 22: fill the zone up. 954 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 2: It's probably too middle today. 955 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 22: So obviously good hitting team, trying to find a little 956 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 22: bit more of those corners. But I can taper and 957 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 22: work from there, you know, fill the zone up, and 958 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,959 Speaker 22: then as I adjust, then I'll start, you know, getting 959 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 22: to those corners, getting. 960 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 2: The ball to strikes or the stricta balls and get the. 961 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:31,280 Speaker 4: Swing and missus. 962 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 22: So I stuck with my plan and definitely wanted to 963 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,280 Speaker 22: fill the zone up, but probably little. 964 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 18: Too middle, I believe you physically this time of the year, 965 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 18: especially coming off the last year, and maybe. 966 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,919 Speaker 4: Even compared to earlier in your field. I feel great, 967 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 4: feel strong. 968 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 22: Yeah it's obviously early, but I feel like I'm in 969 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 22: a good place where I was easy with my blow. 970 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 23: I felt like I was. 971 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 3: Just up there playing catch Hudder Green Saturday. I'm still 972 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 3: and you know, I go backcau Is. I remember during 973 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 3: extra innings during the season, Jim Elch had interviewed Hunter 974 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,880 Speaker 3: when he was on his rehab stint at Louisville and 975 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,320 Speaker 3: asked him about the ABS, and Hunter wasn't really happy 976 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 3: with the ABS that he was experiencing at Triple A. 977 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,319 Speaker 3: And it just part of me says, it's kind of 978 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 3: weird that Hunter would be worried about the ABS, because 979 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 3: pitching is pitching. And then, you know, I try to 980 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 3: look at it from a pitcher standpoint, and whether you're 981 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,320 Speaker 3: Max Scherzer or Justin Verlander or you know, the classic 982 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 3: eighties Braves pictures like Smoltz and Glavin, they always had 983 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,239 Speaker 3: the ability to expand the strike zone and get a 984 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,360 Speaker 3: strike like a half an inch off the plate, and 985 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 3: if they got that, then they go an inch off 986 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,880 Speaker 3: the plate, and if they get that, they go an 987 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 3: inch and a half. 988 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 2: Off the plate. 989 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 3: You know, to to use it to their advantage based 990 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:46,359 Speaker 3: on the umpire, And so it sounds like Hunter, in 991 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 3: thinking about Slash, worrying about the ABS system, thought I 992 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 3: can't hit the edges because if I just missed the edge, 993 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 3: I'm not going to get the benefit of an umpire 994 00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,839 Speaker 3: expanding the strike zone because the ABS is confined what 995 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,239 Speaker 3: is a strike and what is not. 996 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 2: It's not a judgment, it's yes or it's no. 997 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 3: So but as I say that, you still you can't 998 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 3: concede the ABS system. I mean, you're Hunter Green. And 999 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 3: there's a part of me that's always thought Hunter like 1000 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 3: one of his problems is he thinks too much, like 1001 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 3: he gets in his own head. I've always thought he 1002 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,960 Speaker 3: worked on too many different pitches sometimes. Charlie talked last 1003 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,000 Speaker 3: week about every spring Hunter comes in and he's working 1004 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 3: on a different pitch, and it's almost like they keep 1005 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 3: it simple, that the philosophy of don't complicate things. And 1006 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,280 Speaker 3: for a Hunter to be articulating in his first start 1007 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:44,840 Speaker 3: the ABS and he I'm perplexed by that. 1008 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 12: I just. 1009 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 3: It shouldn't be part of the equation if you're Hunter Green, 1010 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 3: and I hope that doesn't. Isn't a head game that 1011 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 3: he's got to get over as the spring continues, because 1012 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 3: ABS isn't going away. In fact, when we continue, AB 1013 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,920 Speaker 3: has helped the Reds win a game over the weekend. 1014 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 3: This scenario.

This series of cards started back in 1137 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 3: two thousand and four and the Nuxtsall Foundation, the Miracle League. 1138 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:11,000 Speaker 3: They give them to youth teams and elementary schools and 1139 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 3: various programs across the country. I think over two hundred 1140 00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 3: thousand cards have been distributed across the US. If you 1141 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 3: have a youth sports team or a program that would 1142 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,720 Speaker 3: like to receive the Nuxtsall Foundation Character Cards to hand 1143 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 3: out to your kids, contact my guy, Tyler Bradshaw. Just 1144 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 3: go to the nuxts All Foundation, the Miracle League Nuxall 1145 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 3: Miracle League website for more information. But really cool that 1146 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 3: Nick Haglin featured on the card this time. 1147 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 2: All right. 1148 00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 3: Saturday, we saw what is a growing kind of the 1149 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 3: growing evidence being presented about the ABS Challenge system and how. 1150 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 2: It can flip a game. 1151 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 3: I think the thought going in there it was more 1152 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 3: like an well, it's an innocent it'll be a system 1153 00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:01,440 Speaker 3: designed to correct pitches. But the more examples we've seen, 1154 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,680 Speaker 3: I think the more clear it is becoming how how 1155 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 3: strategic the use of a challenge can be. I want 1156 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:15,920 Speaker 3: to take you specifically to Saturday's Reds game. It's the 1157 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 3: sixth inning. The game is tied five to five. Sammy 1158 00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 3: Peralta is pitching for the Brewers. There's two on, and 1159 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 3: there's two outs, and Dame Myers is at the plate. Okay, 1160 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 3: so it's tie game, sixth inning, two on, two out, 1161 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 3: two balls, two strikes, and the next pitch to day 1162 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 3: Myers is called strike three. End of inning, but Dame 1163 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 3: Myers taps the helmet challenges. Listen to the sequence and 1164 00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,640 Speaker 3: what followed on Saturday. 1165 00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 15: Two outs, runners on second and third, five five high, 1166 00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,360 Speaker 15: top of the six from Maryvale, two to two, offering 1167 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 15: from Peralta. It's taken strike three call and Meyers wants 1168 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 15: a challenge. 1169 00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,040 Speaker 2: So holding right here. 1170 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 15: Ball could challenge not by much, and it keeps Myers 1171 00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,320 Speaker 15: alive instead of a strikeout. Looking, it's now a full 1172 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 15: count and the payoff pitch line drive banks down the 1173 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 15: left field line. Stuart scores. Here comes Rodriguez to the plate, 1174 00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 15: It's a two RBI double off the bat of Dane Myers, 1175 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 15: and the Reds have a seven to five league. 1176 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,040 Speaker 21: Well, that was an old happy day right there. Great 1177 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,160 Speaker 21: challenge turns around. The next pitch down the left field 1178 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 21: line brings home too. Well, that in itself shows you 1179 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:51,800 Speaker 21: the value of the challenge, especially when it goes your 1180 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,000 Speaker 21: way as a hitter or pitcher for that matter. 1181 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 15: Completely game changing and just by a smitche too. 1182 00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 2: Oh one, that's down. 1183 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 11: The left field line. 1184 01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 2: That's a fair ball. 1185 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 15: Rounding third is Myers on his way to second is Banfield. 1186 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,919 Speaker 15: It's back to back doubles and the Reds have an 1187 01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 15: eight to five lead. 1188 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:18,960 Speaker 3: Instead of strike three to end the inning and strand 1189 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 3: runners on second and third, Sammy Peralta's strike three is challenged, 1190 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:31,000 Speaker 3: it is overturned. Dame Myers lines a two run double. 1191 01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 3: It gets Will Banfield to the plate. He lines a double, 1192 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,400 Speaker 3: and instead of strike three to end the inning, the 1193 01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 3: red score three runs after winning the challenge and go 1194 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:47,760 Speaker 3: on to win the game. That is the growing realization 1195 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 3: of the impact and the strategy behind all of this. 1196 01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,959 Speaker 3: There was a gamer this afternoon. Red Sox are playing 1197 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,280 Speaker 3: the Blue Jays and I continue to be amazed, and 1198 01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,680 Speaker 3: maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but I guess my thought 1199 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:05,640 Speaker 3: was this would be used so much for correcting egregious pitches. 1200 01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 3: I mean, major league umpires get last year it was 1201 01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 3: their highest ratings since they've been rated. Ninety four percent 1202 01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,280 Speaker 3: of the ball strike calls correct, so that leaves very 1203 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:20,080 Speaker 3: smart six percent. And I think my assumption was this 1204 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 3: would be for the egregious misses like Holy cow, that 1205 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 3: was an Angel Hernandez call. He missed that challenge it. 1206 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:32,920 Speaker 3: I'm blowed away by how razor thin the challenges have been. 1207 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 3: Now part of that is everybody's feeling it out, trying 1208 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,160 Speaker 3: to figure out how it's going to work, and I 1209 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 3: think the use will be curtailed a little bit once 1210 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,360 Speaker 3: the season starts. But the example today in the Red 1211 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:47,120 Speaker 3: Sox game against the Blue Jays, the Red Sox catcher 1212 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:51,400 Speaker 3: challenged a ball to the Blue Jays batter. 1213 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:57,080 Speaker 2: The challenge showed that the pitch missed. 1214 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:02,560 Speaker 3: By less than one tenth of an inch, meaning it 1215 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:07,680 Speaker 3: upheld the call originally of a ball less than now, 1216 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,960 Speaker 3: I mean, put your fingers together, less than one tenth 1217 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:18,680 Speaker 3: of an inch. That catcher challenged that thinking it was 1218 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 3: a ball or thinking it was a strike less than 1219 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 3: one tenth. It turns out it was in fact a ball. 1220 01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:34,920 Speaker 3: Challenge lost to the Red Sox. But it's just it's what. 1221 01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,040 Speaker 3: The more I watch this, the more I see the 1222 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,160 Speaker 3: impact on like on Saturday, the more I think about 1223 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,480 Speaker 3: strategy and the tough decisions of when you're gonna challenge. 1224 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,680 Speaker 3: Is it early, is it late? Is it high leverage? 1225 01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 3: Because you can have an early moment, you can have 1226 01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,280 Speaker 3: a sixth inning moment. The sixth inning moment on Saturday 1227 01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,240 Speaker 3: for the Reds change the game if you're running up 1228 01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 3: a pitcher's pitch count early in a game and a 1229 01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 3: strike three gets him off the hook and out of 1230 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 3: an in. But it was borderlining. You challenge that it 1231 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 3: can win that that keeps him in the game, throwing 1232 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,400 Speaker 3: more pitches. Potentially, there's so many I go back to 1233 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,360 Speaker 3: what Charlie said last week about how it almost makes 1234 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,280 Speaker 3: you you want to think you should have like somebody 1235 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,520 Speaker 3: like an NFL assistant in charge of something like that. 1236 01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 3: But it is spur of the moment. It's not a 1237 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,000 Speaker 3: look to the dugout, what do you guys think? So 1238 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,640 Speaker 3: it's gonna have to be like a scouting report game 1239 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,440 Speaker 3: to game or a philosophy game to game, going in 1240 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:36,360 Speaker 3: of when what situations versus this pitcher. Let's keep this 1241 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 3: in mind because there is something there that's going to 1242 01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:45,520 Speaker 3: win and lose games potentially. And I don't I think 1243 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:49,640 Speaker 3: we've just kind of scratched the surface of all this stuff. Strategically, 1244 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,600 Speaker 3: people are going to start to think about be at 1245 01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:52,959 Speaker 3: the hitter. 1246 01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 2: Who was it? 1247 01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 3: Fernando Cruz yesterday for the end to Former Red, he 1248 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 3: threw up pitch that he swore what was astray was 1249 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 3: called a ball, and he came off the mound in 1250 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 3: motion to his catcher to challenge that. I think the 1251 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,800 Speaker 3: catch was Austin Wells, and Wells like like showed him. 1252 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 2: Quickly, look you don't want to do that. 1253 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:20,240 Speaker 3: Don't challenge that, and the challenge went through and they 1254 01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:20,760 Speaker 3: lost it. 1255 01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:24,040 Speaker 2: Fernando Cruz was wrong. It was a ball. Ball by 1256 01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:24,640 Speaker 2: that much. 1257 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,640 Speaker 3: My fingers are together, but that and Terry Francona has 1258 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 3: told his pictures you're not challenging because the thought is 1259 01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,760 Speaker 3: any challenge by a pitcher, anytime the pitcher thinks anything's close, 1260 01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,760 Speaker 3: he will challenge because that's a strike. And so Terry 1261 01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 3: has said, I don't want pitchers challenging. Leave it to 1262 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,520 Speaker 3: the catcher or leave it to our hitters. And an 1263 01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:46,680 Speaker 3: example yesterday Fernando Cruz, because he was very demonstrative on 1264 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 3: his follow through, wanting the challenge and like. 1265 01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,640 Speaker 2: Motion you to his catcher, like what are you doing? 1266 01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 2: And the catcher's like, what do you want me to do? 1267 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 3: It's it is a ball, all right, Let's go to 1268 01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 3: the phones. Uh, get you worked in here. We'll do 1269 01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,240 Speaker 3: some Reds till about eight thirty tonight, five one, three, seven, 1270 01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,720 Speaker 3: four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred, the big one 1271 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,760 Speaker 3: Anderson we go, Hey Bryce. 1272 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:07,880 Speaker 31: How are you? 1273 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:08,919 Speaker 12: Yeah? 1274 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,120 Speaker 6: Hey Lance? I mean it was just a great name 1275 01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 6: for the Reds winning seventeen to nine. It was all 1276 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,280 Speaker 6: about the long ball. I think I'd like to have 1277 01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 6: a discussion. 1278 01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 8: About two separate players. 1279 01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,920 Speaker 2: Yes, I mean I like to talk. 1280 01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 6: About Brady Singer. I know it wasn't the best day 1281 01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 6: for him, he gave it four runs in the first inning, 1282 01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,800 Speaker 6: but Will Benson, I mean, he was just playing absolutely 1283 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:34,000 Speaker 6: horrible and just his cutter and his slider were just 1284 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,880 Speaker 6: looking at just about the same pitch. He was throwing 1285 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:41,480 Speaker 6: it forty four percent of the time combined and his 1286 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,960 Speaker 6: sinker forty three percent of the time. So it just 1287 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 6: looked like two separate pitches and just the the cobs 1288 01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 6: just going out swinging against Brady Singer. 1289 01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, they had and he didn't get much help from 1290 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 3: his defense. There were in the first inning, there were 1291 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 3: three balls that should have been caught. It all went 1292 01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 3: for doubles. It probably should have been errors. But certainly 1293 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:01,880 Speaker 3: it didn't help Brady's cause today. 1294 01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:04,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1295 01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:07,920 Speaker 6: But on the other hand, Matt McClain absolutely raked. 1296 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,600 Speaker 2: It a oh man, he did. 1297 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,320 Speaker 6: He had two home rugs, had two walks, and he 1298 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 6: had a last year, had a lot of trouble getting 1299 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,040 Speaker 6: the bat on the ball for a lot of great contact, 1300 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,560 Speaker 6: and he had tons of trouble adjusting to the breaking ball, 1301 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,960 Speaker 6: especially on two strikes. Both of his home runs were 1302 01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:28,800 Speaker 6: off breaking balls. His first one against Jamis Italian was 1303 01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 6: the first pitch sweeper. His second was a curveball. 1304 01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,360 Speaker 3: And he went the opposite way. And that is a 1305 01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 3: good sign for Matt McClain when he's not trying to 1306 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 3: pull the ball, he's going the other way. He the 1307 01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,240 Speaker 3: first homer was against the major league pitcher. As you 1308 01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,920 Speaker 3: loaded to Jamison Tywn. The second one was against the 1309 01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,360 Speaker 3: minor league pitcher. But man, I think of all this, 1310 01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 3: just the fact that Matt McClain has to feel good 1311 01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:55,560 Speaker 3: about himself means a great deal for Matt McLain's confidence 1312 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:56,040 Speaker 3: right now. 1313 01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:01,040 Speaker 6: Absolutely had the relearn pretty much to hit a whole league, 1314 01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 6: I mean a whole season last year, and just he 1315 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 6: just looks way more confident at the plate. He's finding 1316 01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:08,880 Speaker 6: a rhythm. Then he has a plan every single time, 1317 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,920 Speaker 6: and he's just attacking. He's still looking for his pitch, 1318 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,240 Speaker 6: and he's very selective, still very passive, but when he 1319 01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,160 Speaker 6: chooses a turn on these pitches so far in spring training, 1320 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,400 Speaker 6: he's making them count and he's finding these mistakes and 1321 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:20,600 Speaker 6: capitalizing on them. 1322 01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 3: I love it. Bryce, You're the man. Good catching up, 1323 01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,240 Speaker 3: Thank you? All right, there you go, Bryce, checking in 1324 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,120 Speaker 3: from Anderson. I want to piggyback off of that into 1325 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,439 Speaker 3: and we'll run through highlights of the day a little 1326 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,360 Speaker 3: bit later on in the eight o'clock hour. But up 1327 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,840 Speaker 3: next the highlights of yesterday, including two of the guys 1328 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:40,800 Speaker 3: fighting for bench spots on this team, Nathaniel Lowe and 1329 01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:44,600 Speaker 3: Dane Myers. That and more as we roll on with 1330 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:48,760 Speaker 3: RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven hundred WLW. 1331 01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:52,320 Speaker 2: This evening is Roll News. 1332 01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,320 Speaker 3: In seven minutes, Gary Jeff Walker serves up the nightcap 1333 01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:56,120 Speaker 3: at nine. 1334 01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:57,160 Speaker 2: Get some reds. 1335 01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:00,320 Speaker 3: Highlights of today coming up in the eight o'clock in 1336 01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 3: a little iconic moment, and you see basketball that happened 1337 01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 3: on this date. Stalk some more reds. Because the way 1338 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 3: I look at it, if you've got thirteen bench spots, 1339 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:17,000 Speaker 3: nine are accounted for Suarez, Stevenson, Trevino, Steer, Stuart McClain, 1340 01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,000 Speaker 3: Eli Key, Brian Hayes, Nueve Marte, TJ. 1341 01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:20,479 Speaker 2: Friedel. 1342 01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 3: So that leaves three spots to be in. Three more 1343 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,320 Speaker 3: spots to round out the bench. Trevino your backup catcher, 1344 01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,679 Speaker 3: So three spots to be filled between Day Myers, JJ Bleda, 1345 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:36,800 Speaker 3: Will Benson and Nathaniel Lowe. Myers, Blade Benson low Three 1346 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:42,880 Speaker 3: of those four would you assume make the bench. The 1347 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,839 Speaker 3: case was made yesterday by two of those with loud 1348 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,320 Speaker 3: cracks of the bat. I want you to listen to 1349 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 3: Nathaniel Lowe's at bat yesterday that resulted in a four 1350 01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:57,280 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty foot home run. Take a listen I. 1351 01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:00,280 Speaker 31: Feel like Nathaniel Lowe's about rated pop one. 1352 01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,880 Speaker 21: Yeah, you walk, guys, that one swing of the bat 1353 01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,520 Speaker 21: can mean more than just a solo shot. 1354 01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:11,479 Speaker 31: Right one and low golf's one high and very deep 1355 01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,599 Speaker 31: and that ball is way out of here to right. 1356 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:19,360 Speaker 31: A three run home run for Nathaniel low gets the 1357 01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:23,000 Speaker 31: Reds on the board here in the sixth inning. That's 1358 01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 31: the part of the game of baseball that Nathaniel low 1359 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:27,880 Speaker 31: does well. 1360 01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 21: And that's hit him long and far, and that one would. 1361 01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 31: Fall by a majestic blast for Nathaniel Low. Hit it 1362 01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,559 Speaker 31: over both bullpens and then halfway up the grass out 1363 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:41,280 Speaker 31: and right field. 1364 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,320 Speaker 21: The Reds only have one hit here in the inning 1365 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:49,639 Speaker 21: that after the two walks, that home run is a 1366 01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:50,240 Speaker 21: big hit. 1367 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:54,559 Speaker 3: The one swing of the bat approach off the bench. 1368 01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 3: That is what Nathaniel low will mean to this team. 1369 01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:00,400 Speaker 3: I think he's going to make a roster spot. I 1370 01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 3: think he's gonna earn that roster spot. Left handed bat 1371 01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,680 Speaker 3: with pop change a game with one swing. Nobody else 1372 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 3: can do that off the Reds bench. Is anybody else? 1373 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,640 Speaker 3: And you heard it without a hit. Think of how 1374 01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,519 Speaker 3: much this offense struggled last season, but they got two 1375 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:17,920 Speaker 3: on by walk. One swing in the bat from Nathaniel Low, 1376 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:22,720 Speaker 3: veteran left handed power bat, delivered three runs and as 1377 01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:28,160 Speaker 3: Charlie Goldsmith observed yesterday on Twitter Charlie's Chruckboard, he talked 1378 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 3: with Nathaniel after the game and Nathaniel said, when I'm 1379 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:36,000 Speaker 3: most productive, hit for the most power. It's not something 1380 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,639 Speaker 3: I can sell out for. When you're in an everyday role, 1381 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:40,800 Speaker 3: you have to take your hits and the power will come. 1382 01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:42,840 Speaker 3: Coming off the bench will be a new challenge, but 1383 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,920 Speaker 3: it's something I'm really looking forward to. Terry Francona told 1384 01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 3: Charlie of Nathaniel Low, He's a good dude man. You 1385 01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,360 Speaker 3: watch guys really warm up to him. There's a lot 1386 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,000 Speaker 3: to like, not just when he hits the ball that far. 1387 01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:02,760 Speaker 3: He just has that personality easy to like. I think 1388 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:04,799 Speaker 3: Nathaniel Low is going to be a member of this bench, 1389 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,920 Speaker 3: and I think his left handed bat with power off 1390 01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,960 Speaker 3: the bench is going to be a huge boost for 1391 01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:14,360 Speaker 3: this team. I think it is interesting. I'm assuming Dane 1392 01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:18,360 Speaker 3: Myers will be one that makes this bench. They traded 1393 01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,880 Speaker 3: for him for a reason to be a legitimate true 1394 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,439 Speaker 3: backup center fielder who can give TJ. Friedl days off 1395 01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:26,599 Speaker 3: or when they slide Freedd to the left, can play center, 1396 01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:28,559 Speaker 3: plays a good center, although he had trouble with the 1397 01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:32,080 Speaker 3: ball over the weekend, and hits left handed pitching. Those 1398 01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:34,840 Speaker 3: are the exact ingredients they're looking for for somebody off 1399 01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,719 Speaker 3: the bench for this team, a legitimate backup defensive center 1400 01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,439 Speaker 3: fielder who can hit left handed pitching. I think Dame 1401 01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:42,920 Speaker 3: Myers is going to make the team, and he made 1402 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,200 Speaker 3: his case with this blast yesterday. 1403 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 21: It's pretty much the way Terry frank Conna has done 1404 01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:51,719 Speaker 21: it so far. This sprank, Oh, this ball is killed. 1405 01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,479 Speaker 21: I mean way out of left field, out of the park, 1406 01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,959 Speaker 21: the park, out of the park, home run for Dame Myers. 1407 01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:12,479 Speaker 21: And it's a seven to four ball game, yowl, I mean, hello, 1408 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:13,479 Speaker 21: Dave Myers. 1409 01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,559 Speaker 2: He got every bit of that ball. 1410 01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:18,200 Speaker 3: So I would look at it and we'll do a 1411 01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,720 Speaker 3: little roster breakdown around eight twenty or so, I would think. 1412 01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 3: Then it comes down to either JJ Blade or Will 1413 01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 3: Benson for the final spot. And if I had a 1414 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:27,920 Speaker 3: stack of money right now and you said put it 1415 01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:29,640 Speaker 3: on one one or the other, I'd put it on 1416 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:33,559 Speaker 3: Will Benson. Nothing against JJ Bilde, I think he'll start 1417 01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,559 Speaker 3: the season at Triple A twenty four days until Red's 1418 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 3: opening day twenty four days to make all those decisions. 1419 01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,760 Speaker 3: Tony Perez, of course, the greatest to wear number twenty 1420 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:45,479 Speaker 3: four twelve seasons of ninety or more runs driven, in 1421 01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:48,559 Speaker 3: three hundred and seventy nine homers, seven All Star games. 1422 01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,800 Speaker 3: You know who else wore number twenty four for the Reds. 1423 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,760 Speaker 3: Dave Van Gorder. Dave Van Gordon was a catcher, a 1424 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,720 Speaker 3: second round pick out of USC in nighteen seventy eight 1425 01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:01,559 Speaker 3: one National Championships for the Trojans. In his major league debut, 1426 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:05,240 Speaker 3: how'd you like this? He caught Tom Seaver. He was 1427 01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:09,240 Speaker 3: on the bench the night that Pete returned, and he 1428 01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:12,479 Speaker 3: caught the game that Pete recorded hit number forty one 1429 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,559 Speaker 3: ninety two. Played five major league seasons, four of those 1430 01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:18,680 Speaker 3: with the Reds. He was your classic catcher, not much 1431 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:22,200 Speaker 3: of a hitter. To twelve at the plate and Jerry 1432 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:26,240 Speaker 3: Lynch were the number twenty four pinch hitter extraordinary in 1433 01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:29,320 Speaker 3: nineteen sixty one for the Reds. He got MVP votes 1434 01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,200 Speaker 3: with one hundred and eighty one at bats. He hit 1435 01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,559 Speaker 3: thirteen home runs that year. He was a pinch hit 1436 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:39,320 Speaker 3: specialist eighteen pinch hit home runs in his career. He 1437 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:42,959 Speaker 3: had a season where a pinch hit seventy six times 1438 01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:45,280 Speaker 3: for the Reds. Remember of the Reds Hall of Fame, 1439 01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 3: and another wearing the number twenty four. Ival Goodman, two 1440 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,760 Speaker 3: time All Star outfielder for the Reds, a member of 1441 01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:57,840 Speaker 3: that nineteen forty World championship team, a member of the 1442 01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 3: Reds Hall of Fame. You know the other cool thing 1443 01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:01,519 Speaker 3: about Davin which I did not know until looking it 1444 01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:03,760 Speaker 3: up today. Dave Van Gordon once went up to Vin 1445 01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:06,880 Speaker 3: Skelly before a game against the Dodgers and introduced himself, 1446 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:08,880 Speaker 3: and he said, could you do me a favor? And 1447 01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,719 Speaker 3: Vin said what do you need? He said, my dad's 1448 01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,640 Speaker 3: going to be watching the game, I believe from Los Angeles. 1449 01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:18,400 Speaker 3: Would you mind wishing him a happy Father's Day? And 1450 01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,759 Speaker 3: Vin Skelly went on the air in that broadcast and said, basically, 1451 01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,719 Speaker 3: I never met Dave Van Gordon until today. 1452 01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:26,479 Speaker 2: Seems like a pretty cool guy, and. 1453 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:28,639 Speaker 3: I want to wish And he wanted to wish Davan 1454 01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,800 Speaker 3: Gorder's dad happy birthday, so Dad, or a happy Father's Day, 1455 01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:35,600 Speaker 3: so Dad, Happy Father's Day.

That was yesterday during 1557 01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,639 Speaker 3: the game, and I laughed out loud at that one. 1558 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,760 Speaker 3: Matt McClain, we have talked, and he's been a storyline 1559 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:20,479 Speaker 3: throughout the spring, in the offseason, and my continuing belief 1560 01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:23,599 Speaker 3: that to a large extent, how Matt McClain goes so 1561 01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:28,000 Speaker 3: go the Reds in twenty twenty six and his start 1562 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:34,280 Speaker 3: to the spring, I know, and there's schools have thought 1563 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:39,439 Speaker 3: on how much to take out of spring training. And 1564 01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,960 Speaker 3: I was told long ago by a very wise former 1565 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:46,519 Speaker 3: front office executive in Major League Baseball lance, never be 1566 01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:49,320 Speaker 3: fooled if you're an executive or a fan. Never be 1567 01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 3: fooled by two months. Don't be fooled in March, and 1568 01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,920 Speaker 3: don't be fooled in September. And their point was, be 1569 01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:59,439 Speaker 3: very careful in judging and evaluating players in spring training, 1570 01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:03,720 Speaker 3: and be very careful judging and evaluating players in September 1571 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:07,680 Speaker 3: when rosters are expanded and players are called up. The 1572 01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:11,280 Speaker 3: theory being in March, there's a lot of variables at work, 1573 01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:15,920 Speaker 3: who you're facing, if it's a minor league pitcher, if 1574 01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,479 Speaker 3: it's a major league arm if it's a day they're 1575 01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:22,000 Speaker 3: just working on stuff. For example, today Matt McClain homer twice, 1576 01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:23,240 Speaker 3: and you're gonna hear those coming. 1577 01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:24,040 Speaker 2: Up in our next segment. 1578 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:27,120 Speaker 3: You're gonna hear what Matt did yesterday here in this segment, 1579 01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:30,439 Speaker 3: because he's done a lot. First inning, he homered off 1580 01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:34,840 Speaker 3: proven quality major league pittuer Jamison Tywn. He homered off 1581 01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 3: a minor league arm later in the game. But the 1582 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,960 Speaker 3: thought is, don't get wrapped up when you're evaluating a 1583 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,280 Speaker 3: player what they're doing in the spring. In fact, I 1584 01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,639 Speaker 3: meant to look this up. Matt McClain had a really 1585 01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:48,719 Speaker 3: good spring last year. I'll look it up here during 1586 01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:49,240 Speaker 3: the break. 1587 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:49,800 Speaker 2: Now. 1588 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,000 Speaker 3: I'm not downplaying his success. I think it means, I 1589 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:54,840 Speaker 3: think the most we can take out of it. It 1590 01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:59,000 Speaker 3: means that Matt McClain has to feel good about himself. 1591 01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:01,720 Speaker 3: And that's what I wanted all of last season. And 1592 01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,880 Speaker 3: when I talked about sending him down, it wasn't to 1593 01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,080 Speaker 3: punish him. It was to let him remember what it 1594 01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,800 Speaker 3: was like to release the pressure and remember what it 1595 01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:13,400 Speaker 3: was like to have fun. Because he hadn't played baseball 1596 01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:16,520 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four, so he really hadn't had success, 1597 01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:19,599 Speaker 3: sustained success and fun since twenty twenty three. And I thought, 1598 01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,920 Speaker 3: you know, tell him, it's not a punishment. Matt, go down, 1599 01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 3: get on a roll, have some success, have some fun, 1600 01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:29,120 Speaker 3: and you'll be back here in a week. You'll be 1601 01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:32,720 Speaker 3: back in ten days. And they never did that, and 1602 01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,800 Speaker 3: Tito said he was stubborn with him, and they stuck 1603 01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:40,720 Speaker 3: with him. But man, oh man, if it's if it's pressure, 1604 01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:43,360 Speaker 3: whatever it was he was feeling. And there's a lot 1605 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:46,840 Speaker 3: of expectations tied to Matt this season. He is off 1606 01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:50,960 Speaker 3: to a big time start this spring. I mean big time. 1607 01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,280 Speaker 3: I want you to listen to a home run over 1608 01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,519 Speaker 3: the weekend. You're gonna hear what Terry said about it. 1609 01:23:56,040 --> 01:24:00,599 Speaker 3: Here's Matt McClain at the plate, McLain forty. 1610 01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,559 Speaker 15: Four on the spring four for nine to two pitch. 1611 01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:07,839 Speaker 15: Here's the ball hammered into center field, going back as Perkins. 1612 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:08,880 Speaker 11: He looks up his goal. 1613 01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 15: Matt McClain goes opposite field, his first home run of 1614 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:17,880 Speaker 15: the spring and the Rads, having early won nothing, lead Well. 1615 01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,719 Speaker 21: That was a really nice pass by McClain, not simply 1616 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:22,599 Speaker 21: for the fact that it got out of here, but it. 1617 01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:25,360 Speaker 2: Was a sinking fastball down and in and he. 1618 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 21: Just gets inside the ball, gets the barrel there and 1619 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,479 Speaker 21: just shoots it over the right centerfield wall. 1620 01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:31,800 Speaker 2: It's a nice piece of hitting. 1621 01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:35,920 Speaker 15: We've seen it this spring, and it was the bugaboo 1622 01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,880 Speaker 15: for McClain last year. They pitched him down in a way, 1623 01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,360 Speaker 15: they would pitch him outside. He couldn't catch up to it. 1624 01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,880 Speaker 15: He has been purposely going the other way as Elie 1625 01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:47,320 Speaker 15: de la Cruz looks at strike one. It has been 1626 01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:49,240 Speaker 15: nice to see and the Rens are hoping for the 1627 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 15: old McClain. In a perfect world, they would love him 1628 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 15: hit second, no doubt about it. 1629 01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,280 Speaker 3: He's the we've talked about this is a topic during 1630 01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:02,080 Speaker 3: the offseason. He is the per affect to candidate for 1631 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:07,040 Speaker 3: this team. He runs well, he's got some pop, can 1632 01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:12,080 Speaker 3: handle the bat, he makes the most sense and man, 1633 01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:18,360 Speaker 3: the way he's playing. Factoring in let's not get too 1634 01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:22,599 Speaker 3: far out over our skis. I think there's clearly anything 1635 01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:25,800 Speaker 3: positive happening in spring we love and anything that's not 1636 01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,280 Speaker 3: going well we tend to write off as well. They're 1637 01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:32,599 Speaker 3: just working on things. There's like a middle gress somewhere 1638 01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:34,880 Speaker 3: in between that. But to this point it has been 1639 01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:37,519 Speaker 3: all good stuff for Matt McClain. In fact, Tommy was 1640 01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:41,759 Speaker 3: talking with Tito about that home run in Tito's early 1641 01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,160 Speaker 3: observations and how you judge Matt McClain. 1642 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,160 Speaker 32: Take a listen when hitters use the whole field and 1643 01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,760 Speaker 32: when they drive the ball the opposite away with authority 1644 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:52,040 Speaker 32: that you're doing a lot of things right. But it 1645 01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,759 Speaker 32: also it keeps like the right hand or it keeps 1646 01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:58,599 Speaker 32: him from chasing that right handed slider so much because 1647 01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:02,160 Speaker 32: you're not thinking pull. So it's just it's like a 1648 01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,160 Speaker 32: combination of things. You're swinging to better pitches, so you're 1649 01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:07,120 Speaker 32: gonna probably be a better hitter. It just kind of 1650 01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 32: starts to multiply. 1651 01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:11,120 Speaker 31: Is there a way you look at McLain and think, Okay, 1652 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 31: he's back, or again, like. 1653 01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:15,920 Speaker 2: We talk about every day, you try not to get 1654 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:17,680 Speaker 2: fooled in March in February. 1655 01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:19,920 Speaker 32: I mean, I thought he was back last year. I 1656 01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:24,240 Speaker 32: think I think he's such a good player and nothing 1657 01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,479 Speaker 32: will change that. I mean, this kid, I'm telling you, 1658 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,120 Speaker 32: there's a good player there. I'm telling you, And I 1659 01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,599 Speaker 32: hope everybody sees it this year because it'll be a 1660 01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:35,280 Speaker 32: big difference maker for us because he's there's certain guys. 1661 01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,000 Speaker 32: He's kind of that connector between Friedel and Ellie and 1662 01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:39,840 Speaker 32: you know, he just he does so many things on 1663 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,639 Speaker 32: the field. Well, you know, he's such an alert base runner. 1664 01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,080 Speaker 32: You watch him on the basis he always knows where 1665 01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:49,000 Speaker 32: the ball is. He's in the right place defensively, and 1666 01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,599 Speaker 32: he did that last year all while struggling at the plate. 1667 01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:53,800 Speaker 32: So if you're going good, it's you know that helps too. 1668 01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:57,000 Speaker 2: I love that Tito talking about Matt McClain. I looked 1669 01:26:57,040 --> 01:26:58,120 Speaker 2: it up. I was wrong. 1670 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,880 Speaker 3: Matt McLain did not have a big spring last year. 1671 01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,639 Speaker 3: He hit two fifty five in the spring. He homeward once, 1672 01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:07,559 Speaker 3: He struck out seventeen times, and fifty five at bats, 1673 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:11,200 Speaker 3: so about once every three about thirty two percent of 1674 01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:16,200 Speaker 3: the time. This spring, small sample size, fourteen at bats 1675 01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:18,519 Speaker 3: he has three home runs. He hit two today, he 1676 01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:23,040 Speaker 3: drove in six. He's hitting five seventy one. But man, 1677 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:28,679 Speaker 3: just feeling good for Matt McClain is a good thing. 1678 01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,800 Speaker 3: And if there's two things, it's the confidence angle and 1679 01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:35,760 Speaker 3: what he's done to get his hit so far this 1680 01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:39,439 Speaker 3: spring he's going the other way. How many times last 1681 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,479 Speaker 3: year did you watch and it was it was a 1682 01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:46,799 Speaker 3: combination of maddening and you felt sorry for him because 1683 01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:50,840 Speaker 3: he would just constantly chase that breaking ball off the 1684 01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,960 Speaker 3: plate and not come close to it, and he was 1685 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,160 Speaker 3: off balance with the swing and he'd head back to 1686 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,240 Speaker 3: the dugout and you would scream. 1687 01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 2: Stop chasing the pitch, you can't hit it. 1688 01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:06,960 Speaker 3: He's going the other way. He's taking instead of trying 1689 01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:11,439 Speaker 3: to pull pitches, he's going the other way. He's taking 1690 01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,920 Speaker 3: pitches where they are pitched. He did that with two 1691 01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:16,960 Speaker 3: of his hits early in camp, and he did it 1692 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,120 Speaker 3: with two of his hits today. That is a huge 1693 01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:23,280 Speaker 3: sign because he's not trying to complicate, he's not trying 1694 01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 3: to pull everything. He's he's okay with just making contact 1695 01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:33,120 Speaker 3: and flipping it where it was pitched. And boy did 1696 01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:35,280 Speaker 3: he flip too. For home runs today. You're gonna hear 1697 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:39,280 Speaker 3: that the day that was for Key, Brian Hayes and 1698 01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:40,639 Speaker 3: Sal Stewart. 1699 01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:41,559 Speaker 2: All ahead. 1700 01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:46,519 Speaker 3: It's RNL Carrier Sportstock presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven hundred WLW. 1701 01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:54,640 Speaker 2: Eight twenty four seven. 1702 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:58,720 Speaker 3: Hundred WLW RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey's Chevrolet. 1703 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:03,640 Speaker 3: I am Lance Padal, I'm on Twitter at Lance Pacallister. 1704 01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:05,920 Speaker 3: We've got a group of about ninety thousand or so. 1705 01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,639 Speaker 3: If you follow, thank you If you don't, we would 1706 01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:12,080 Speaker 3: be honored, We would welcome you to the conversation that 1707 01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:13,920 Speaker 3: could be had during the show and beyond the show. 1708 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,080 Speaker 3: Get updates on the show, what's coming up on the show, 1709 01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:19,360 Speaker 3: answer questions, pose during the show, and it's all for 1710 01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:24,040 Speaker 3: free if you follow me at Lance Pacallister.

They win seventeen to nine. 1712 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:32,200 Speaker 3: They hit six six home runs against the Chicago Cubs. 1713 01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,320 Speaker 3: Cup scored four in the first before the Reds even 1714 01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,360 Speaker 3: came to bat, it was four nothing and then the 1715 01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:42,200 Speaker 3: onslaught was on from the Reds offense.

Two three run 1717 01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:51,679 Speaker 3: home runs, two three run jacks. 1718 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:55,360 Speaker 31: They sounded like this they hit could tie it up 1719 01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:58,799 Speaker 31: the pitch and McLean swings, he hammers it. This ball 1720 01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,880 Speaker 31: is tagged to field and deep and way out of 1721 01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:05,599 Speaker 31: here to the back of the Burma three run blast 1722 01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,080 Speaker 31: for Matt McClain to put the Reds on top at 1723 01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:14,799 Speaker 31: six to four. That's McClain's second home run. 1724 01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:15,200 Speaker 2: Of the spring. 1725 01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:20,720 Speaker 31: And he just stays red and I mean red hot. 1726 01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:24,320 Speaker 26: Ryan rolls and delivers and that has hit swung on 1727 01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:27,400 Speaker 26: and hit well by mcclan over in the center fielder's head, 1728 01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:31,280 Speaker 26: and that one is gone. A two home run day 1729 01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:34,519 Speaker 26: for Matt. McClain won the left center field a three 1730 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,840 Speaker 26: run bomb here in the third inning to Rice center 1731 01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:40,719 Speaker 26: field and welcome to the Matt McClain Show. 1732 01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:43,200 Speaker 2: Wow. I'll tell you what. 1733 01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,839 Speaker 31: If he can do some of this during the regular season, 1734 01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:49,360 Speaker 31: it is going to be a lot of fun in Cincinnati. 1735 01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:54,080 Speaker 3: Great to have Chris Welsh on the broadcast today. 1736 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,000 Speaker 2: I think I'm officially in on Matt McClain. 1737 01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:57,880 Speaker 3: I think I'm moving him up on my draft boards 1738 01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:01,639 Speaker 3: for my fantasy league. I think I'm buying six ribbies 1739 01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:05,720 Speaker 3: ties the Reds franchise record since moving to Goodyear, Arizona 1740 01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:09,920 Speaker 3: seventeen years ago six RBIs in a spring game. He 1741 01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:12,920 Speaker 3: ties with Austin Hayes, who did it last year, of course, 1742 01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:16,360 Speaker 3: and Yasi Opligue had a six ribby game in Goodyear 1743 01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:21,120 Speaker 3: one time for the Reds. Matt has three runs scored 1744 01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:26,679 Speaker 3: today and walked twice. Two three run homers, six ribbies, 1745 01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:32,000 Speaker 3: three runs scored, two times walked. Also part of the 1746 01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:37,200 Speaker 3: offensive outburst today. Keep Brian Hayes two hits, a double, 1747 01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:40,400 Speaker 3: a walk, he drove in three with that double. 1748 01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:42,120 Speaker 2: Its sated like this. 1749 01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,679 Speaker 26: Hey, Brian Hayes will get something to hit right here, 1750 01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:47,560 Speaker 26: and here's a pitch swung on that's going to be 1751 01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:49,519 Speaker 26: BALI goes into the gap and it's going to go 1752 01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:51,920 Speaker 26: all the way to the wall on one hop off the. 1753 01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:53,000 Speaker 2: Left centerfield wall. 1754 01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:57,560 Speaker 26: Here comes Benson, here comes Marte, and now Jose Travino 1755 01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:01,240 Speaker 26: as a basis clearing double a left center field by 1756 01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,760 Speaker 26: Key Brian Hayes makes just a nine to six ball game. 1757 01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:10,280 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what now, I'm pumping the brakes. 1758 01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:13,720 Speaker 3: I don't need an all star offensive season from Key 1759 01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:18,400 Speaker 3: Brian Hayes if he could offer a league average offensive season, 1760 01:32:18,439 --> 01:32:21,479 Speaker 3: if he could be an average offensive player. In fact, 1761 01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:25,759 Speaker 3: I might accept a tick below a league average player 1762 01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 3: because he's going to be several ticks above average defensively. 1763 01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:30,880 Speaker 3: But they got to get something from him. We talked 1764 01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:32,720 Speaker 3: with Charlie about this last night. It's going to be 1765 01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:34,960 Speaker 3: a topic tomorrow night. Charlie wrote a wonderful piece about 1766 01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:37,760 Speaker 3: the thirty million dollar bet the Reds mate on Key 1767 01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:43,280 Speaker 3: Brian Hayes, which I'll admit then and even now I'm 1768 01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,880 Speaker 3: not sure. I still understand. I didn't understand it then. 1769 01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:47,920 Speaker 3: I'm still not sure I understand it now for a 1770 01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:50,000 Speaker 3: couple of different reasons. We'll get into it as a 1771 01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:52,920 Speaker 3: topic presentation tomorrow night. But for the moment, I'll take 1772 01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,519 Speaker 3: that day that he turned in with two hits and 1773 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:59,200 Speaker 3: a double that drove in three along with a walk. 1774 01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:03,040 Speaker 3: In South Stuart had a day two hits, a double, 1775 01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:07,040 Speaker 3: a homer, drove in four, scored two. The long ball 1776 01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:07,800 Speaker 3: saided like. 1777 01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:10,679 Speaker 2: This, They're not going to swing and miss on as much. 1778 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,960 Speaker 31: Stewart elevates this ny in the air deep center field. 1779 01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:18,280 Speaker 31: Back goes McCormick.

Brady Singer had a rough first inning, gave 1791 01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 31: up seven hits and four runs in the first, but 1792 01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:02,160 Speaker 31: his defense let him down.

A couple of things that caught my 1980 01:45:34,840 --> 01:45:36,400 Speaker 3: ear by the way over the weekend before we do 1981 01:45:36,520 --> 01:45:39,960 Speaker 3: on this date of all things softball. Over the weekend, 1982 01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:44,320 Speaker 3: Northwestern State Softball playing in the City of Light Classic 1983 01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:50,920 Speaker 3: in Natcha, Natcha, Louisiana. That place they have a picture 1984 01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:55,439 Speaker 3: named Madison Buster who tossed a no hitter on Friday 1985 01:45:56,320 --> 01:46:00,760 Speaker 3: and then on Saturday she started her team got no hit, 1986 01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:04,640 Speaker 3: but they won the game. They scored five runs in 1987 01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:07,719 Speaker 3: the first inning without a hit. The first three batters 1988 01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,320 Speaker 3: of the game walked on thirteen pitches. Then there was 1989 01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:12,280 Speaker 3: a hit by pitch, and then there was a pitching change, 1990 01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:14,960 Speaker 3: and then there was more walks and then a throwing era. 1991 01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:18,080 Speaker 3: It was five to nothing and they won. So Northwestern 1992 01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:20,599 Speaker 3: State won on Friday with their pitcher throwing a no hitter. 1993 01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:22,880 Speaker 3: That same pitcher was on the mound. The next day 1994 01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:25,680 Speaker 3: they got no hit and won the game. And then 1995 01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:29,040 Speaker 3: the Oklahoma State Sooners scored twenty one runs in the 1996 01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:32,719 Speaker 3: third inning against Alabama State. They sent twenty four batters 1997 01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:36,320 Speaker 3: to the plate, scored twenty one runs, two grand slams, 1998 01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:39,519 Speaker 3: a three run homer, and a solo homer. They beat 1999 01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:43,000 Speaker 3: Alabama State twenty nine to five twenty nine to six, 2000 01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,200 Speaker 3: shortened by run rule five innings, the second most runs 2001 01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:50,519 Speaker 3: in an inning in Division One history, and Alabama State 2002 01:46:51,280 --> 01:46:55,760 Speaker 3: led with a grand slam in the first inning, and 2003 01:46:55,880 --> 01:47:00,400 Speaker 3: then Oklahoma scored twenty nine runs after that to win 2004 01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:02,400 Speaker 3: the game. All right, A couple of things that happened 2005 01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:06,960 Speaker 3: on this date, couple fantastic ones related to the Reds. 2006 01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:09,560 Speaker 3: First this date in nineteen twenty seven. Now think of 2007 01:47:09,600 --> 01:47:13,559 Speaker 3: the Yankees and Babe Ruth nineteen twenty seven we're talking about, 2008 01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,599 Speaker 3: arguably in the conversation with the Big Red Machine's Graces 2009 01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:19,080 Speaker 3: team of all time twenty seven murders row. On this date, 2010 01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:22,959 Speaker 3: Babe Ruth signs a three year contract for seventy thousand 2011 01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:25,240 Speaker 3: a year. It makes him the highest paid player in 2012 01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:29,759 Speaker 3: the game. Nineteen sixty two. In this date, Wilt Chamberlain 2013 01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:34,840 Speaker 3: scores one hundred points, the highest single game total in 2014 01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:40,639 Speaker 3: NBA history. The thing that will always amaze. That's amazing 2015 01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:45,760 Speaker 3: in itself. But the thing I will always find just 2016 01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:51,400 Speaker 3: incredible about that performance beyond scoring one hundred, his team 2017 01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:54,360 Speaker 3: scored one hundred and sixty nine. Wilt that game shot 2018 01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:57,080 Speaker 3: at sixty three times. He hit thirty six of sixty 2019 01:47:57,120 --> 01:47:59,599 Speaker 3: three from the field, so he shot what fifty seven percent? 2020 01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:02,040 Speaker 3: And he went a very good free throw shooter. But 2021 01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:04,479 Speaker 3: he hit twenty eight and thirty two that night. But 2022 01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:09,960 Speaker 3: here's what fascinates me. One hundred points is the NBA record. 2023 01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:18,960 Speaker 3: The next closest point total is Kobe eighty one. May 2024 01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:24,120 Speaker 3: show me another record with that grade of separation between 2025 01:48:24,200 --> 01:48:29,200 Speaker 3: the record and the second best number. If you understand 2026 01:48:29,240 --> 01:48:33,639 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, eighty one points is still nineteen short 2027 01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:41,479 Speaker 3: of the record. Incredible. Then this date, nineteen eighty nine, man, 2028 01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:43,720 Speaker 3: I wish I was here. I was in South Bend 2029 01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:48,759 Speaker 3: at the time. Red's outfielder Cal Daniels and Red Zoner 2030 01:48:48,880 --> 01:48:53,400 Speaker 3: marg Shot settle a twenty five thousand dollars difference in 2031 01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:59,479 Speaker 3: salary negotiations with a coin flip. Daniels wanted three hundred 2032 01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:02,200 Speaker 3: and twenty five one thousand and salary team was offering 2033 01:49:02,320 --> 01:49:09,400 Speaker 3: three hundred thousand, Merge proposed a coin flip. Daniels and 2034 01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:14,240 Speaker 3: his agent agreed. The coin flip took place in the 2035 01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:18,080 Speaker 3: perking lot of the Red Spring Training Complex in Plant City, Florida. 2036 01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:22,720 Speaker 3: It was carried live by Channel five during their five 2037 01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:28,320 Speaker 3: thirty newscast. Using a fifty cent piece, Merge shot called 2038 01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:35,320 Speaker 3: heads and it came up tails, earning Daniels twenty five 2039 01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:41,320 Speaker 3: thousand dollars. Major League Baseball Commissioner Peter Uberroth, in the 2040 01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:43,080 Speaker 3: middle of investigating. 2041 01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:45,160 Speaker 2: Pete Rose at the time, was not amused. 2042 01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:51,080 Speaker 3: He warnshot that settling further in future contract matters in 2043 01:49:51,200 --> 01:49:57,680 Speaker 3: that manner would result in disciplinary action. This date, nineteen 2044 01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:04,440 Speaker 3: eighty nine, is only Merge could do it a coin flip. 2045 01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:05,200 Speaker 2: To decide it. 2046 01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:12,280 Speaker 3: And then this date nineteen ninety five, Major League Baseball 2047 01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:16,840 Speaker 3: had gone on strike in ninety four blew out the 2048 01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:20,320 Speaker 3: World Series. The strike carried over into ninety five and 2049 01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:24,560 Speaker 3: was going on at this point into spring training, and 2050 01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:29,920 Speaker 3: teams were using replacement players, and the rosters included minor 2051 01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:35,360 Speaker 3: leaguers and older veterans and independent league players. The replacements 2052 01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:39,799 Speaker 3: called scabs by many because they crossed the picket lines. 2053 01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:44,360 Speaker 3: The games lasted went on for over three weeks with 2054 01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:45,439 Speaker 3: replacement players. 2055 01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:46,639 Speaker 12: Well. 2056 01:50:46,720 --> 01:50:50,759 Speaker 3: On this date, nineteen ninety five, twenty three Reds players 2057 01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:54,439 Speaker 3: left camp, and so the Reds were short of players. 2058 01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:58,599 Speaker 3: They engineered a trade with the team they were playing, 2059 01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:03,960 Speaker 3: the then Cleveland Indians, and acquired five players for future 2060 01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:07,559 Speaker 3: consideration to give the Reds enough to play the spring game. 2061 01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:14,000 Speaker 3: During this run of replacement players, forty eight year old 2062 01:51:14,240 --> 01:51:20,320 Speaker 3: Pedro Borbone, who had not played since nineteen eighty. 2063 01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:23,960 Speaker 5: He hadn't played in fifteen years. 2064 01:51:25,439 --> 01:51:31,160 Speaker 3: He returned to play at age forty eight. He struck 2065 01:51:31,240 --> 01:51:33,680 Speaker 3: out the only batter he faced in an exhibition game 2066 01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:38,400 Speaker 3: against the Pirates in Bradenen, but then the Reds released him. 2067 01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:41,360 Speaker 3: After he faced a batter in a game against the Indians, 2068 01:51:42,120 --> 01:51:45,280 Speaker 3: he fell down trying to field a bunt and threw 2069 01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:48,280 Speaker 3: wildly to first base for an air and that was 2070 01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:54,400 Speaker 3: the end of the comeback. Forty eight years old, fifteen 2071 01:51:54,560 --> 01:51:59,120 Speaker 3: years removed from his last baseball game. The Players Association 2072 01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:04,000 Speaker 3: took Baseball to court over this whole the charade of 2073 01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:08,880 Speaker 3: the replacement games, and a court ruling prevented Major League 2074 01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:12,040 Speaker 3: Baseball from continuing to use the replacement players.
