3
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: This is Sports Talk. Honored to be filling in for

4
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: Lance McAllister tonight. Joe Waddell is Tonight's producer. We're going

5
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: all the way to nine o'clock like Eric Carmen and

6
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: the Raspberries. To be honest, folks, I was dreaming of

7
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: a Kyle Schwarber Christmas here in Cincinnati, dreaming of the

8
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: Middletown kid coming home and playing for the Cincinnati Reds.

9
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: But that dream died today when Schwarber and his representatives

10
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: agreed to stay in Philadelphia with the Phillies for one

11
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million reasons over five years. My Ohio

12
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: State math tells me that's an average of thirty MILLI

13
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: a year. And Kyle has already coming off a four year,

14
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,279
Speaker 2: seventy nine million dollar contract with the Phills and became

15
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: one of the most sought after free agents on the market.

16
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: The Reds were believed to be in the running for Schwarber,

17
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: but they were long shots, and it's really unclear how

18
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: seriously the Red Sox, Mets Orioles Giants pursueding Schwarber is

19
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 2: thirty two years old. He turns thirty three in March.

20
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: He's got a couple young kids getting ready to start school.

21
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 2: It would have been so awesome to have him come

22
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: back and finish his career with the Reds, but no,

23
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: He's staying in Philly. And Schwarber finished second in the

24
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: mL in the MVP National League voting this year after

25
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: leading the league with fifty six home runs and leading

26
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: all of Major League Baseball with one hundred and thirty

27
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: two RBIs. The Reds now have a void and left

28
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: field and they seek a power back. Where is it

29
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: going to come from? Hey, it's anyone's guests. Charlie Goldsmith

30
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: reporting from Orlando, Florida, at the Winter Meetings that the

31
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 2: Reds were in serious pursuit of Schwarber. He even had

32
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: an in person meeting him and his wife in late

33
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: November with the Reds front office Terry Francona and owner

34
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: Bob Castellini. And according to Charlie, the Reds weren't told

35
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: that they were out of the running until this morning.

36
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: How disappointed are you Reds fan that Schwarber isn't going

37
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 2: to become a Cincinnati Red. I've got my coffee. I've

38
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: got my computer, all I need is you at five

39
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: point three seven four nine, seven thousand and one, eight hundred,

40
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: the Big One, And it sure looks like the Reds

41
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: are going to go with what they've got, sticking with

42
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: their guns to draft and build from within.

43
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

44
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: I was in the Crosley Room at Riverfront Stadium slash

45
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: Synergy Field the night that Ken Griffy Junior was introduced

46
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: to the Cincinnati media place was absolutely packed. There was

47
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: a frenzy throughout the city. The Queen City was on

48
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: fire about Ken Griffy Junior. Had the Reds signed Kyle Schwarber,

49
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: I would have think that the impact would have been approaching,

50
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: not saying greater than, but approaching the signing of Ken

51
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: Griffy Junior. One hundred and fifty million dollars is a lot,

52
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: But what it would have meant for attendance?

53
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?

54
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: At least the first couple three months Great American Ballpark

55
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: would have been packed. Oh the dream became a nightmare

56
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: for the Chickster and probably you.

57
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: Now.

58
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: Mark Sheldon who covers the Reds for Major League Baseball

59
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: MLB dot com. He has an interesting story up on

60
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 2: reds dot Com that manager Terry Francona plans to manage

61
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: Ellie de Lacruz differently this year, and that means pretty simple,

62
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: more rest, no more grinding with one hundred and sixty

63
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: one starts like this past season, Francona said, there were

64
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: a lot of things going on. I think I need

65
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: to take responsibility, and I have and I will. He

66
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: told Mark Sheldon at the winter meetings in Orlando, Florida.

67
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: I need to find ways to get him, meaning Ellie,

68
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: off his feet from time to time, and I didn't

69
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: do a very good job of that, and I own

70
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: up to that. I love the fact that he Elie

71
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: de la Cruz wants to play and he's one of

72
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: the rare guys where he can bring energy every day,

73
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: which is really amazing, Francona said, but saying that he

74
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: gets beat up so much sometimes the day game off

75
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: after the night game might be really helpful for him.

76
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: Totally agree. But what would Kyle Schwarber signing have done

77
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: to us? Oh, it's been unbelievable. Let's not mess around.

78
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: Let's go out to the phones. Jeff is in the

79
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: Great State of Tennessee. Jeff, what's going on, Yes, sir.

80
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 6: That's what. What must the ladies on the rads?

81
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: Force trades or free agency?

82
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: Nothing right now? Nothing. We're waiting for news. We're waiting

83
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: for a signing.

84
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 7: Well do you reckon that that they're going to bring

85
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 7: in a big bath, that's.

86
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: What they need. Paul, Paul Goldschmith's out there. Could they

87
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: possibly bring back Austin Hayes, who knows you got Miguel

88
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: Andrew harr Is a free agent? He did well for

89
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 2: the Reds last year. They could possibly bring him back.

90
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 8: Yes, uh and uh uh what about sooner?

91
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: Hey, anything's possible to improve this bullpen? So well?

92
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 7: Uh, I'll give great one thing, you know, bringing breaking.

93
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: Uh a video back? I like that bringing him back?

94
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: Well, Jeff, We're just gonna have to wait and see.

95
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: There's a lot that will happen. Uh, hopefully coming out

96
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: of the winter meetings here and even when we get

97
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,760

Speaker 9: Zach.

Speaker 2: Zach is in Hamilton, wants to talk Kyle Schwarber.

104
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 9: I just want to I just want to bring up

105
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 9: one thing.

106
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 10: I'm twenty eight years old, born in ninety seven, so

107
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 10: I've seen I've seen the big players with the Reds.

108
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 10: I'm a I love the Reds to death.

109
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 11: I really do.

110
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 4: Same here.

111
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 10: Yes, my question to you is, is I understand that

112
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 10: signing Kyle Schwarber would maybe you know, pack pack the

113
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 10: red Stadium, this, this and that. But when you I

114
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 10: just want to hear your opinion. I'm not going against

115
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 10: your opinion.

116
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 6: I just want to hear it.

117
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 12: And then do you.

118
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 10: Really think he would be a good investment for how

119
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 10: young this team is and on the on the flip side,

120
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 10: with all the other work the team has to deal with,

121
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 10: it would he even be It's if the Reds were

122
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 10: in a run to have him, what would it be

123
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 10: worth us the Reds spending one hundred and whatever forty

124
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 10: million dollars on him for four years?

125
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 11: Like, I'm just curious on what you're.

126
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: I'm looking at two are and fifty six home runs

127
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: this past year for the Philadelphia Phillies. He would turn

128
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: Great American Ballpark into his own personal playground. And Zach

129
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Hey, yeah, real quick.

130
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 10: Okay, can you compare him to Ellie de la Cruz.

131
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 4: No, they're two different players.

132
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: But what would happen is what would happen is he

133
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: would protect Ellie.

134
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 5: I agree.

135
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 11: If that's what you agree with that, I'll let you go.

136
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks very much, Zach and Hamilton appreciate it,

137
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: all right? Tim is in Columbus, Hi, Tim.

138
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 8: Hey, check, Well, I'm disappointed, but not surprised, yep. And

139
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 8: I think that, unfortunately, I think that we're.

140
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: Going to get more of the same, Yeah, out of.

141
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 8: This club, Struggle to get over five hundred, struggle to

142
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 8: get into playoffs, go on the road, play the number

143
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 8: one seed, get beat two games, and go home. And

144
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 8: I guess, as Reds fans, we have to temper our expectations.

145
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 8: And I guess we have to start putting up banners

146
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 8: in the stadium for finishing over five hundred, because I

147
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 8: have a feeling that that's as good as it's gonna get.

148
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 8: I'm a Reds fan for fifty years, and I just

149
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 8: I'm just heartbroken and disappointed.

150
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 9: That has come to this.

151
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 8: And I go into every season with hope and aspirations

152
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 8: that this.

153
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 5: Will be the year.

154
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 8: And I Unfortunately, they've they've they've beaten me down to

155
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 8: the point where I have zero expectations and I just

156
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 8: think it's gonna take them now to get up to

157
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 8: get a bona fide bat, they would have to do

158
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 8: a trade like Hunter Green, Matt McClain and another high

159
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 8: prospect to trade for someone like a Ronald Acunya from

160
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 8: the Braves who's uh, who's who has a long, long term.

161
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 3: Deal already in place.

162
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the only way they're.

163
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 8: Going to get any type of a power hitter in

164
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 8: that lineup at this point.

165
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: Well, in the strength of this team is the starting

166
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: pitching and so they're uh, they're wealthy in that department,

167
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: and it could very well come down to, hey, a

168
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: Brady Singer getting moved. I'm not ruling anything out, not

169
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 2: ruling anything out. Uh, I do think, yeah, I do

170
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: think with Matt mccoin coming back, he's got he's absolutely

171
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: has to be better, and the blossoming of a South

172
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: Stewart to deject what he brought in September cannot be denied.

173
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: He brought some energy to this club and he's got

174
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: to bring some more.

175
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 13: Yeah.

176
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 8: So, and unfortunately, and unfortunately we're left to dumpster dive

177
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 8: and other teams garb players.

178
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well maybe there's a treasure in there somewhere. Tim alright,

179
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: all right, yeah, all right, appreciate it. Hey, Pat is

180
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 2: in Seymour, Indiana. Pat, what's going on?

181
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 14: Jick?

182
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 13: Long time since Ted Talkia, since the Winter Fantastic Band.

183
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: Good to hear your voice again.

184
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 13: Hey, you know, I've thought a lot about this. I mean,

185
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 13: I don't know what kind of money the Reds do make,

186
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 13: but I mean they paid him thirty million a year

187
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 13: for five years. We've we've we've stumbled on the Stakas

188
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 13: and the guy who were paying sixteen million next year.

189
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 13: I don't know for five years, I don't know. I

190
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 13: don't think I would have did that myself. But then

191
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 13: I look at all the people they want to talk

192
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 13: about signing. They're all two forty hitters and don't hit

193
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 13: too many homers.

194
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 5: I don't know what we got.

195
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 13: We might have to keep what we got and hope

196
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 13: for that happens.

197
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: But that's yeah, uh, young club. It's improving, and they

198
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: did reach the playoffs last year, and yes, they took

199
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 2: advantage of the Mets collapse, so that counts for something.

200
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: So they got a taste of it.

201
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: Now, keep improving and uh, let's get back to the

202
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: playoffs and see what happens.

203
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 13: I'm hoping, so I said, I'm your agent. I don't

204
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 13: give up. But I mean, if I had the money

205
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 13: and I was paying for it, I don't know if

206
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 13: I'd be paying some of these guys the money they

207
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 13: want to get for that.

208
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let's enjoy the twenty twenty sixth season because

209
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: there very well could be a stoppage because of the

210
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: disparity in payrolls by the top and the bottom. It's

211
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: it's massive. So pat appreciate the call man. Thank you, Hey,

212
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: good talking to you. But all right you too. Hey,

Speaker 14: We can't.

220
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: What's to work at a trade? Work a trade, Mike

221
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: with one of these starting pitchers.

222
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, it seems like they don't want it, and like

223
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 14: the Red don't want it.

224
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:22,520

230
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,720

246
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 7: Look the fans, we gotta chill.

00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 16: Out a little bit.

248
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 7: Kyle Schwarber isn't gonna be still in the stadium to

249
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 7: more than half or seventy five percent full on a

250
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 7: Tuesday in April, or you know, in the end of

251
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 7: August and September when the Reds are in fourth and

252
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 7: Sis play sometimes, you know, I know, I've been a

253
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 7: dahar fan my entire life. Yeah, but it kind of

254
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 7: goes both ways, you know, we the fans. There's been

255
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 7: so many times that you'll turn on the Reds game,

256
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 7: especially against the Cubs, and you'll see more blue on

257
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 7: the stands in Red. You can't have that and then

258
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 7: sit up here and cry and complain every day about

259
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 7: how the team doesn't go out to kylege s Wwarber

260
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 7: number two, y'all want to the Reds are not the Dodgers,

261
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 7: We're not the Yankees, We're not the Mets. You know,

262
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 7: I was looking at a Facebook post today. A dude

263
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 7: was up here saying, you know, ownerships looking at things

264
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 7: the wrong way because you know, since he's more than

265
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 7: just a city. You know, we're dating in Louisville and Lexington,

266
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 7: down to Kentucky and West Virginia. You know, we got

267
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 7: parts of Indiana up in Columbus.

268
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 6: All that.

269
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 7: Again, that's great, but if you look at how our

270
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 7: lineup is, if you look at the amount that we

271
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 7: have on our payroll, we cannot compete paying a guy

272
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 7: like Kyleege Schwarber.

273
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 5: To play dh y.

274
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,320

275
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,200

Speaker 2: I'll get back to you guys right after the break. Hey,

286
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: it's the Chickster chick Ludwig filling in for Lance McAllister tonight,

287
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: bumming that Kyle Schwarber is remaining in Philadelphia on seven

288
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: hundred WLW six forty one in the Queens City of Cincinnati.

289
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: How long commercial breaks? Hey, it's the holidays and a

290
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: lot of advertising and sponsors here at iHeartMedia Cincinnati. Outstanding.

291
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: It's paying the bills man, fantastic. But congratulations to Kyle Schwarber.

292
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: By the time he turns thirty seven years old, and

293
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: he'll be thirty three in March, two hundred and twenty

294
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 2: nine million dollars just in his last two contracts, the

295
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: five years one fifty that he's signing now and the

296
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: previous four years at seventy nine. That doesn't take into

297
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: account his six previous seasons or seven six with the

298
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: Cubs from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty, and then he

299
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: was with the Washington Nationals in twenty twenty one and

300
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: got traded to the Red Sox in twenty one. So wow,

301
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: seven previous seasons add to that. Man, we're talking a

302
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: quarter of a billion dollars for Kyle Schwarber. Let's go

303
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: back out to the phones, Jimmy and Cincinnati. You wanted

304
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: to finish what you were.

305
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 7: Saying, Hey, thank you for let me, you know, jump

306
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 7: back on, man, it was a minute. The only thing

307
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 7: I wanted to say.

308
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 3: The Reds.

309
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 7: The problem area on this team is middle infield. You

310
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 7: can't Ellie does not need to be playing a short stop,

311
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 7: but you can't move them because everybody in the outfield

312
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 7: has basically played their way into a position. You know,

313
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 7: Freedom is the only guy that gets on base, and Mark, Hey,

314
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 7: he showed with his bat once he moved out there

315
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 7: to white field that you know that that's where he

316
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 7: needs to be Yes opening day, those are probably gonna

317
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 7: be two of the three spots and then the left

318
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 7: deal we gonna have to figure out what to do,

319
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 7: because if we want south Stewart in the lineup, you know,

320
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 7: he only played first to third. People complain about Keith

321
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 7: Brown Hayes, but gold Glove He's gonna be our third

322
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 7: basement for the nets. What four or five?

323
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 13: Six?

324
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

325
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: I look at south Stewart is playing some first base,

326
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: mainly mainly special Steer, but south Stewart first base and

327
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: some dh and Jimmy, I got.

328
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 4: A run man, Thank you so much, appreciate you. Ah

329
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 4: right here all right?

330
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: Uh Mark and Milford's been waiting forever, Hi Mark, home

331
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: of the Eagles.

332
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 4: All right.

333
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 17: So Kyle Schwarber's off the market, Yes, sir, there's always

334
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 17: there's always Bragman, Tucker and Alonzo and from what's in

335
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 17: I like Andal Harr. You brought him up. Maybe a

336
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 17: forgotten guy.

337
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 2: Oh I love Andrew Harr and Douhar. Yeah, get him

338
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: back here, getting back here. That dude can hit. He

339
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: struggled to run with some leg injury, some leg soreness,

340
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: but the dude can hit. I'd love to have him

341
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: come back. And he was the underdog dark horse. All

342
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: the dude does is hit lefties, so he is valuable.

343
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 17: I want him back and Gavin Lux is going to

344
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 17: be around.

345
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 4: Right, Yes he is. Yeah.

346
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 17: That brings me to this point of view. I brought

347
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 17: up with Lance McAllister about July when Hunter Green was

348
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 17: hurt and Elie Delacruz hurt. Okay, I said, Lance, let's

349
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 17: switch through here. Let's put Elliet in center. Let's put

350
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 17: Friedo and right, Mark Tee and left and DH with

351
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 17: andohr and locks at second. You're short up.

352
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 4: I don't know about that.

353
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: Lus's glove scares me a lot, especially in left field.

354
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: Summitt second base.

355
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 17: He's older, but he can hit.

356
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: I love you, No, he can, he can, Yeah he

357
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: can DH two. Uh yeah, where do you put him?

358
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 2: So a lot of moving parts with this uh, with

359
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: this team. I like Marte in right field, no doubt.

360
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 18: Uh.

361
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 4: You're not going to move Alley off a short.

362
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: That's what the management I know, I know, I know

363
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: well And if you were listening earlier, Terry Francone is

364
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 2: going to work with him differently. They're going to give

365
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: him more rest because he's beating himself up out there

366
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: injury wise, and he's still playing.

367
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 4: So hey, yeah, he wants.

368
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 17: To be out there on sixty two.

369
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: You know he does and uh with then dam some

370
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: and night game, afternoon game. Man, Uh, resting one of

371
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: those games.

372
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 4: Period. Got you, Yeah, we got you.

373
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 17: Pitcher is awesome. I think we're going to go.

374
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're stock pilot starting Pitchington's coming back hopefully

375
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: coming back.

376
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 17: Guys that were out for a while.

377
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so pitching the point. Yeah, an embarrassment of

378
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: riches people. They could they very well.

379
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 17: Could so to get a Bragman or a Tucker.

380
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that would be god. Bregman love him?

381
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 17: Is dis the Reds head? Is he so with the Dodgers?

382
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: Uh, you know what, I'll check on that. Yeah, I

383
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: will check on that. Yeah, all right, crazy, okay, both

384
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: all right? Uh no, no, that's not gonna happen. All right,

385
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, man.

386
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 17: You're the greatest.

387
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir, appreciate you.

388
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: Uh Bob and Sarasota, Bob, fantastic.

389
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 4: What's on your mind?

390
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, was it immediately that the Reds had

391
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 7: a shot at getting Schwarber or something. That's one of

392
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 7: these things where it seems like, uh, let's put some

393
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 7: more false hope out there in Red's Land where nothing

394
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 7: actually materializes.

395
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: Well, I.

396
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 7: Compare the Reds.

397
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 3: Lots of the Rays down here.

398
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 7: Small market, short payroll, but the Rays are competitive year

399
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 7: after year, where the Reds just can't seem to get

400
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 7: it done.

401
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 2: But hey, you know, it's got to count for something

402
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: to get to the playoffs. They got hot at the

403
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: end of the year, they took advantage of the Mets collapse.

404
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,239
Speaker 2: They still got there. They got a taste of it.

405
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 2: Now they've got to take the next step. And I

406
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 2: think they can. I think they can because I think.

407
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 7: They they need to get the big bat though.

408
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 4: They need to they do. We've been screaming about that

409
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 4: for over a year, over a year.

410
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a hitter's friendly ballparks. They're going to put

411
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 7: people in the stands if they get a guy who

412
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 7: can hit forty to fifty knocks a year, you know,

413
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 7: with O Tawny look at the ROI the Dodgers got

414
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 7: on that investment. They've already paid for his.

415
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 4: Uh oh, yeah, you know, absolutely seven, no doubt.

416
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 7: And I think Cincinnati could be in the same boat

417
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 7: if if they spend a little, you know, maybe take

418
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 7: a shot and get rid of a couple of these

419
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 7: talents in the pipeline. And yeah, you know, you got

420
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 7: to bite the bullet at some point. But they need

421
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 7: a guy to hit forty to fifty knocks a.

422
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: Year in thirty thirty to forty, no doubt. All Right, Bob,

423
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: all right, appreciate you don't care. Thanks all right, thank you.

424
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 2: Mark in Montgomery, Hi, Mark.

425
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 7: Hey, good evening.

426
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 4: How are you good.

427
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 6: Hey.

428
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 19: A couple of things, you know, just you know, trying

429
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 19: to put this Kyle Schber thing in perspective. You know,

430
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 19: I was doing some research, and I mean the revenues

431
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 19: in these bigger markets, you know, the RESI just can't

432
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 19: compete with that. I mean, I saw that twenty twenty three,

433
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 19: Philadelphia got one hundred and twenty five million on local

434
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 19: TV and they just signed a brand new deal with

435
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 19: Comcast or NBC worth two and a half billion dollars

436
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 19: for the next twenty five years. So you know, I mean, yeah, I.

437
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 3: Think the Reds could do more.

438
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 6: They could spend a little.

439
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 19: More, but I mean some of these teams and where

440
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 19: they are, I mean, they're it's never going to compete

441
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 19: with that kind of television market because of the population

442
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 19: size of the area. And it's just a sad fact.

443
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 19: The NFL works because you got a salary cap, and

444
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 19: you can go from losing twelve games in a year

445
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 19: and winning twelve the next year because of that in

446
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 19: the competition, and baseball is the only sport that doesn't have,

447
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 19: you know, something similar to that, and that's why you

448
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 19: have ten teams with all the revenues and the other

449
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 19: twenty trying to remain relevant.

450
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Dodgers, Yankees, and Mets are glad to pay

451
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: that luxury tax. So we got to enjoy the twenty

452
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 2: twenty six season, man, because we could have a stoppage

453
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: at twenty seven.

454
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 19: So I think that's inevitable quite frankly. Yeah, alrighty, Well,

455
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 19: appreciate the time.

456
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: All right, thank you so much. Thanks all right, appreciate

457
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: it man, all the callers. Wow, that was awesome. A

458
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: lot to get to. Still here tonight talking Bengals, talking

459
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: to college football playoffs. And when I think of the Bengals,

460
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, when I'm wrong, I say that I'm wrong,

461
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: And I was wrong about Trey Hendrickson.

462
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 4: Boy did I get fooled. Didn't we all get fooled?

463
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 2: He pulled off But you got to congratulate the guy

464
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 2: because he pulled off the greatest heist since the Prince robbery.

465
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: He fleed Mike Brown and the Bengals for twenty nine

466
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: million dollars this year. He's hurt, maybe not his fault,

467
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: injured surgery, out for the remainder of the year, and

468
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: he'll work hard to try to get another contract next year,

469
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: but it won't be in Cincinnati. And all I can

470
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: say is, Trey, you worked your cards right. You came

471
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 2: in with a hold in situation. You garnered all the

472
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: sympathy from really me, the media, sports writers, broadcasters, and teammates.

473
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 2: I even said, pay the guy. He deserves it, coming

474
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: off seventeen and a half sacks from last year. But

475
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 2: I got fooled. He flees the Bengals for twenty nine

476
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: million dollars. His salary was going to be in the

477
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: final year of his contract sixteen million. He said he

478
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: would hold out and not play for sixteen because TJ.

479
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: Watt and all these other dudes were getting paid megabox.

480
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: So he but he comes to training camp, plays the

481
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: good guy, mentoring younger players, but he's not working out.

482
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: But he he might be working out at the facility,

483
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: but he's not practicing. The thing is Mike Brown was

484
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: forced forced to give him thirteen extra million dollars to

485
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: bump his salary up one year twenty nine million. Because

486
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 2: word travels fast in the National Football League among players,

487
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 2: they talk about getting paid, they talk about their contract situations.

488
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 4: And if.

489
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson had started the year at sixteen million, there's

490
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 2: no way he would have held out and not taken

491
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: seventeen paychecks at what close through a mill a game.

492
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 4: For eighteen weeks.

493
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: If the Bengals don't pay him, word travels Bengals cheap,

494
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: you don't want to go there. So the Bengals basically

495
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: are forced to pay Trey Hendrickson an extra thirteen mil

496
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: to take it up to twenty nine for this season,

497
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: the greatest heist since the Brinch robbery, fleecing Mike Brown

498
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: and the Bengals for twenty nine million dollars. Hey, when

499
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: we come back, this is an unbelievably important date in

500
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Red's history. I want to talk about that when

501
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: we come back. This is the Chickster chick love Wig.

502
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: I've got my coffee, I've got my computer. All I

503
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: need is you At five one, three, seven four nine,

505
00:29:42,120 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 2: hundred WLW.

508
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 2: This is Sports Talk under to be filling in for

509
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: the immortal Lance McAllister Tonight Shoeless. Joe Waddell is Tonight's producer.

510
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: We're going all the way to nine o'clock like Eric

511
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 2: Carmon and the Raspberries, and that's when Gary Jeff Walker

512
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: takes over these airways and he will take you to midnight.

513
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: Now on this date in Red's history, two important trades

514
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: that went sideways big time. But before we get to those,

515
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: I'm going back out to the phones and we start

516
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 2: with Kevin in Columbus.

517
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 5: Kevin, Hey, Yeah, I.

518
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 6: Like doing the Reds talking. I wanted to hear what

519
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 6: you had to say. You were gonna say why you

520
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 6: thought the Reds were doing better. You got interrupted by

521
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 6: the caller, but you were going to say something about why.

522
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm hopeful and always hopeful for Yeah.

523
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 4: I just think you hear that.

524
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 2: I mean, before the Astros won the World Series, they

525
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: were losing one hundred games, Okay, so I'm just looking

526
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: at everybody improving, taking a next step and going forward

527
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 2: in the playoffs here getting to the playoffs and then

528
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: anything can happen unless you run into the Los Angeles Dodgers, So.

529
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 3: You worry about that later.

530
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 6: But yeah, it may take more than a year or

531
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 6: two to get it all turned around. I still think

532
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 6: they've got the right manager and everything. And now I

533
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 6: agree with a lot of callers. Why is d La

534
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 6: Cruz doing short stop? But that you know that's spring

535
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 6: Kna's decision. I guess you know it is, so I

536
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 6: go second guess him. But but they do need to

537
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 6: get a bat. It was a pipe dream with Kyle Schwarber,

538
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 6: but yeah, boy, they need to get some bats in

539
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 6: there and shore up some things. But hey, I'm always

540
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 6: hopeful for spring training, and I guess with the way

541
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 6: the Bengals are going, we got no choice but to

542
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 6: wait for.

543
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: That, right ah, who knows, maybe there is, maybe there's

544
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: a Christmas miracle.

545
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, but hey, you'll do some Bengals talking, all.

546
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 2: Right, All right, Okay, thank you appreciate it, and we've

547
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: got res in Newport res.

548
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 5: Jick, how are you, buddy?

549
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 18: I agree with you. I think the Reds should have

550
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 18: a pat hand their players that they have. Now, I

551
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 18: think they're going to play better this year. My take

552
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 18: on the mister Kyle Schwarber, I'm I think they're Red's

553
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 18: dodged the ball. And I never did agree with the

554
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 18: Red's going after this guy for a number of reasons. One,

555
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 18: he's going to be thirty three years old in March

556
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 18: come opening day, okay, and you.

557
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 9: Know, the older you get, the slower you are.

558
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 3: And he's slower already.

559
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: Okay, not that bad.

560
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 3: He's right.

561
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 5: He can't play defense.

562
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 4: He's a designated hitter man exactly.

563
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 19: He struck out the last four years with the Phillies.

564
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 18: Ever, he's over two.

565
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 5: Hundred times okay.

566
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 18: Uh. And if he does get on base, they're going

567
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 18: to have to probably send an attaxi cab to get

568
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 18: him the second base, so there'll be war out by

569
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 18: the time he gets there. Half his runs that he

570
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 18: scored his uh. Because of the home run. They need

571
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 18: to take that money and develop young talent, okay, because

572
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 18: that's the name of the game, and it's.

573
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 6: It's said that these clubs they hey big bucks for

574
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 6: guys who.

575
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: Hit home runs.

576
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 18: And the one thing you Reds have that these other

577
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 18: teams don't have is Tito FRANCONA.

578
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: Amen to that, and Rex I got to run here.

579
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 2: Appreciate your call. Thank you all right. Jeff is in Westchester. Hi, Jeff,

580
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 2: how you're doing good?

581
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 4: Good? What's on your mind?

582
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 21: Hey?

583
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 11: Enjoy the show as always. It's just a couple of

584
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 11: things on the Reds. You know, the Swerverer thing would

585
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 11: have been okay, but I think the guy they need

586
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 11: to look at is Buschett from Toronto, the shortstop, and

587
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 11: that allows you to move to move our shortstop into

588
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 11: center field where he belongs. You're kind of getting two

589
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 11: players for one there.

590
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 4: Boh, b shit. I would like that. Yes.

591
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna.

592
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 11: Hit for average, he's going to drive in runs and

593
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 11: you're not going to hit the home runs that the

594
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 11: other guy was going to. But he's gonna get on

595
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 11: base a lot more and put the ball in play.

596
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 11: And that solved two needs there, And that's the way

597
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 11: I would go with this, Jeff, going back to your

598
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 11: alignment from the from the Bengals.

599
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, maybe maybe this thing.

600
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 11: You know, they have an insurance policy for those guys

601
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 11: and if they play under a certain amount of games,

602
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 11: the policy kicks in. So I wonder if the owner

603
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 11: there in order to recoup his money. He just went

604
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 11: ahead and told him to have the surgery, so therefore

605
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 11: he wouldn't qualify, you know, for the contract, but he'd

606
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 11: get paid by his insurance company.

607
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 4: Hey, we'll have to run that down. But great point.

608
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 2: An NFL team has to spend at least eighty percent

609
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: of you know, their cap, and then the Bengals do

610
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 2: a good job of holding money back because injured guys

611
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 2: get paid too.

612
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 4: So but a good point. Jeff.

613
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 5: I enjoy your show.

614
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Just trying to bring some energy

615
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 4: to the ways man, just like the.

616
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: Lead, got it going, all right, Thanks you so much,

617
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 2: all right, appreciate it. Joe is in Lexington, Oh, Central Kentucky.

618
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful area.

619
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 16: Joe, uh, hello, check. I appreciate taking my call. And

620
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 16: I completely concurred. Just just a couple of things. I mean,

621
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 16: I could go on forever. But one, I mean, I

622
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 16: don't know if the Reds actually thought that Kyle Schwarver

623
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 16: would take a twenty five million dollar home down this game.

624
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know you did.

625
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, if they did, I mean, that's that's

626
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 16: a joke. But I'm sure you've discussed this many times.

627
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 16: I get to listen very sporadically, but just two things. One,

628
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 16: what what would it take? Or let me Why doesn't

629
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 16: Bob Castellini sell this team? I mean he's I don't know,

630
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 16: I think he's eighty three eighty four. I mean he could.

631
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 16: He could sell this team, make a huge profit on

632
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 16: what he paid for it originally, and make his family

633
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 16: happy or whatever. I just personally, if his plan is

634
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 16: to turn this organization over to Phil Castellene, I think

635
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 16: you're looking at a tremendously precipitous slope. And Two, I've

636
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 16: heard many times that he want Bob Castellini won't spend

637
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 16: the other investors' money. I'm curious if he went to

638
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 16: all these other investors. Again, I have no idea how

639
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 16: it works, but if they could get the money together

640
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 16: and would have gone to Bob Castelleni today or sometime

641
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 16: in the future and say, look, we want to sign

642
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 16: one of these guys. Let's sign him. What would their

643
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 16: options be? And I'll hang up and listen. Thank you, I.

644
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 2: Appreciate Joe, that's a question. It's way above my pay grade.

645
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 2: I don't see them selling, and gosh, the same could

646
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: be said for the Brown family. Don't know how much

647
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 2: they paid for it, but man, it's worth what four

648
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: billion dollars now four or five and they're the lowest

649
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 2: valuated team in the National Football League. So hey, let's

650
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 2: lean on this young talent. Let's add a bat or two, oh,

651
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 2: and hope for the best. Gosh, that's lame, I know,

652
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: but I'm sorry. It's above my pay grade. Now I

653
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 2: want to get into this awesome to be filling in

654
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 2: for Lance McAllister. Two important things in Red's history happened

655
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 2: on this date. In the first one December ninth, nineteen

656
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 2: sixty five. This is going way back now, I was

657
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: eleven years old. Red Zoner, billed to Wit completes the

658
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: worst trade not just in Red's history, but in Major

659
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 2: League Baseball history. He shipped Frank Robinson to the Baltimore

660
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 2: Orioles in exchange for pitcher Milt Pappis, pitcher Jack Baldshin,

661
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: and outfielder Dick Simpson. De Witt wanted more pitching and

662
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 2: he thought that Frank Robinson was a quote unquote old thirty.

663
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: Wow did it backfire because in his first year with

664
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Orioles nineteen sixty six, future Major League Baseball

665
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Frank Robinson wins the Triple Crown for

666
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 2: the Orioles, batting three sixteen with forty nine home runs

667
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 2: in one hundred and twenty two RBIs. He wins the

668
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 2: American League MVP and the World Series MVP. Is the

669
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 2: Baltimore Orioles engineer a four game sweep of the Los

670
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers, trading Frank Robinson.

671
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 4: For Milt Pappis.

672
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 2: PAPIs, I think he had a winning record the next

673
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 2: few years, but nothing spectacular. It goes down as the

674
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 2: worst trade in Major League Baseball history. And then, on

675
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 2: this date, December ninth, nineteen seventy seven, the Red Ship

676
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: first baseman Dave Revering and one point seven five million

677
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 2: dollars to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for pitcher Vida

678
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: Blue and a deal.

679
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 4: At the Winter Meetings.

680
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 2: And then what happens on January thirtieth, a month later,

681
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy eight, Commissioner Bowie Koon voids the trade completed

682
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 2: on December ninth. Kuon claimed there was too much money

683
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 2: involved in the deal, which, if allowed to continue, would

684
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 2: create a competitive imbalance among the teams. Bowie Koon, the commissioner,

685
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: later set four hundred thousand as the maximum amount which

686
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: could be exchanged between the Clubs and Rev's president Bob

687
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 2: Housem and Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley spent the next

688
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: several days trying to restructure the deal with less capital

689
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: and more players in an effort to bring Vita Blue

690
00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: to Cincinnati, but in a range could not be reached

691
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: and the trade was scratched. The Reds later made a

692
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: separate deal with Oakland which brought Doug Bear to the

693
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds, and Blue was eventually dealt to the San

694
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 2: Francisco Giants in March of nineteen seventy eight for four

695
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars in cash and six players. And you

696
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 2: could add to this date in Red's history, they don't

697
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: obtain the services of one Kyle Schwarber, who agrees to

698
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 2: a five year, one hundred and fifty million dollar deal

699
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 2: to stay with the Philadelphia Phillies. I had the opportunity

700
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 2: to meet Kyle at a wedding reception in Dayton for

701
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 2: his best friend. I was invited and I approached Kyle

702
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 2: at the bar. He was sipping soda and I go

703
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: up to him. I didn't want to be one of

704
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: these glad hand you know, starry eyed reporters. And as

705
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 2: I approach him, he goes Chick, and I introduced my subje,

706
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 2: just Chick. I know who you are. The most down

707
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 2: to earth superstar in sports, Kyle Schwarber. He's got a

708
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 2: home in Germantown, near Middletown. He's got kids that are

709
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 2: about three years old and one year old, and they're

710
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: gonna be starting school soon. And that gave me hope

711
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: that he would wind up with the Cincinnati Reds. But

712
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 2: my winter dreams were dashed this morning about eleven thirty

713
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: am with the news that he's come to an agreement

714
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 2: to stay in Philadelphia. You are listening to sports talking

715
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 2: when we come back, Scott Springer chucking all things you

Speaker 2: hundred with WLW seven nine in the Queen City of Cincinnati.

00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 2: Chick Ludwig seven hundred, WLW. This is sports talk, and

721
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 2: I certainly appreciate our next guest waiting through that long break.

722
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 2: He covers the UC Bearcats for the Cincinnati Inquirer in

723
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: Cincinnati dot Com. Our good friend Scott Springer, Scott, how

724
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 2: are you.

725
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 9: Chick?

726
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 22: Sure you have a lot of sponsors there, so you

727
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 22: must be a popular dude.

728
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

729
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 2: And talking to our producer off the air, he said,

730
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,919
Speaker 2: Darry Jeff Walker said the same thing. Yeah, a lot

731
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 2: of ads. So I guess that's good news.

732
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 22: Yeah, so it pays the bills, they tell me.

733
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. And I wanted to gauge your opinion

734
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: on the psyche here With some time off, time to

735
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 2: work on some things for the University of Cincinnati basketball

736
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 2: team back in action on Saturday against the Georgia Bulldogs

737
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: in Atlanta.

738
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 22: That's a tough game. Georgia has only lost one game.

739
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 22: The Bearcats were back at practice Sunday. They were right

740
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 22: on the floor after the women's Crosstown shootout, which unfortunately for.

741
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 3: Cincinnati they lost that too.

742
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 22: So you really can't argue with Zavier runs this town

743
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 22: because this year they do.

744
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 3: That's just the way it is. You know.

745
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 22: I listened to a podcast today that Terry Nelson and

746
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 22: Corey Blunt have out and it's really really good. And

747
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 22: Corey said, we got beat by Tarzan Man. Yeah, and

748
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 22: Trey Carroll was outstanding. I mean, that's one of the

749
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 22: better shootout performances I've seen in some times of given credit.

750
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 22: And now here's the deal. This guy played at FAU and

751
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 22: that's where Boba Miller was. And Boba Miller didn't play bad.

752
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 22: He only had ten points, had a rough shooting day,

753
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 22: but he pulled down seventeen rebounds. But the team that

754
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 22: wanted it wanted Trey Carroll went out and got thirty points.

755
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 22: And now UC has to figure out, you know, what

756
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 22: to do against the Georgia Bulldogs who have one loss

757
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 22: and I believe that was the Clemson in overtime like

758
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 22: ninety seven to ninety four. And you see as Clemson

759
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 22: the head in the coming week. And Xavier only lost

760
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 22: to Georgia by one in Charleston a couple of weeks back.

761
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:37,919
Speaker 3: So it's a pretty decent team.

762
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 22: And you're playing in Atlanta, so an alleged neutral site,

763
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 22: but not.

764
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 3: Really amen to that.

765
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 2: And really four games left here in the non conference

766
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 2: schedule before huh, how about getting handed your first game

767
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 2: in the Big Twelve against the seventh ranked Houston Cougar's man.

768
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 22: Yeah, well, and then everyone has looked at them as

769
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 22: the belcal recently, but now that your new ap Arizona's

770
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 22: number one, Iowa State is at number four, and they absolutely.

771
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 4: Plowed perdue the other y. Yes, oh rip them apart.

772
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 22: I mean, and they have a lot of the same

773
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 22: guys back from last year. And that's one of the

774
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 22: places the rare places that they let me sit court

775
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 22: side last year.

776
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 3: So I saw those massive cyclones. They hit the weight room.

777
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 3: They're tough dudes.

778
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 22: So that league is treacherous and UC needs to figure

779
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 22: some things out.

780
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 2: Definitely have athletes, you know, we see that. I worry

781
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 2: about their half court offense. Defense is their specialty, and

782
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: they couldn't stop Tray Carroll.

783
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 4: Man. What do you think about this about this team?

784
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 3: Well, you know, if.

785
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 22: You'd ask me before the game if they would outshoot

786
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 22: Savior from the three point line and if you would

787
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 22: out rebound them, I would assume you'd win the game.

788
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 22: And that didn't happened, and Xavier won the game on

789
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 22: two pointers. I think they only made six threes, and

790
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 22: they had five straight games where they had made double

791
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 22: digit threes, and so you see, accomplished that but still

792
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 22: lost the game and it's one of those games. You know,

793
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 22: people are going to remember Trey Carroll for a good

794
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 22: long time and he's going to play in one shootout

795
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 22: and retire one to oh, and that's that might be

796
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 22: the way these things go here now with everyone flipping

797
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 22: the rosters every year. So you know, it used to

798
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 22: be you'd watched the Lumpkins and the Lenny Browns and

799
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 22: the Posy's and the Levitts and the Kenyan Martin, you know,

800
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:39,439
Speaker 22: Bobby Brandon's. This is all changing rapidly, and I don't

801
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 22: know if it's for the better, but it's just the

802
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 22: way it is. And it's kind of sad in a

803
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 22: way that some of the historical aspects of the shootout

804
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 22: goes away.

805
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 3: But the team that wanted it won it.

806
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 22: And you know, whoever sticks around next year for U

807
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 22: see if that hurt them, maybe they'll understand next year.

808
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 22: But to have a winning streak goes back to two

809
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,720
Speaker 22: thousand and one in one building, and Steve Logan played

810
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 22: in that game and is now a color commentator for

811
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 22: the Bearcats, and he's forty five, and you and I

812
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 22: know that's not old at all, but he is forty five,

813
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 22: and it doesn't seem that way. He's got some white

814
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 22: in his beard now, so that's alarming. But yes, you know,

815
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 22: he has had twenty two points.

816
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 2: Oh man, Yeah, as awesome as Trey Carroll was with

817
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 2: thirty points of seven boards. The two guys whose names

818
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 2: I cannot pronounce man each hit two big threes and

819
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 2: then Ali Wright goes up there and bangs in four

820
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 2: straight free throws. So they just they just closed better.

821
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 2: They just knew how to close well.

822
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 22: And that's part of the deal. You have to be

823
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,240
Speaker 22: good in the final five minutes and unfortunately the Bearcats

824
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 22: in the last five years, if they're behind late in

825
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 22: the game, you usually don't win. I think it's like

826
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 22: three and fifty two something like that. It's not good.

827
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 22: And you have to be able to come from behind.

828
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 3: Now.

829
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 22: To their credit, last year they were down in halftime

830
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 22: and and then one to shoot out by three, so

831
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 22: it's not impossible.

832
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 3: It's not like they don't have the talent. But uh,

833
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

834
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 22: You know, they did a little bit better with his

835
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 22: own defense late in the game, but it might have

836
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 22: been a little bit too late.

837
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 3: They didn't make the run.

838
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 22: And in spite of everything, you know, Valen Celestine makes

839
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 22: a three pointer from the corner and at two thirty nine,

840
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 22: I think it was you see has a brief lead

841
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 22: and because it you know how it is writing these things.

842
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 22: You start writing and it gets to be, you know,

843
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 22: a double digit lead. You're you're starting to go one

844
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 22: way on your story and then suddenly you're going to

845
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 22: leap the lead, delete the lead. Let's uh, let's rephrase

846
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,240
Speaker 22: this all and it's kind of crazy.

847
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 2: Uh, Scott Springers with US three and yeah, Scott Springers

848
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 2: with inquir last year. Oh, you're you're right, but you're

849
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 2: absolutely right. And the only player, the only player who

850
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 2: had played in this game was Dade Thomas. Is that incredible?

851
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

852
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 22: Yeah, Dayda's the only guy that was on the floor

853
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 22: a year ago.

854
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 3: He had a decent game.

855
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 22: But you got to have more than one guy, and

856
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 22: it has to matter to more than one guy.

857
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 3: So I don't know how if it mattered or not.

858
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 22: But you know, maybe these kids get educated as you go.

859
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 22: I don't know that Boba Miller is still one hundred percent.

860
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 22: I'm making excuses Xavier and one parent square Celestine I

861
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 22: don't think is one hundred percent, but there's probably guys.

862
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 3: On Zavier that maybe weren't a hundred percent. I don't know.

863
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,919
Speaker 22: I think you see's really missing Jalen Haynes, the big

864
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 22: guy from George Mason that hasn't been able to play,

865
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 22: and if they can get him back late in the season,

866
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 22: maybe that helps in the post. But you know, you

867
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 22: got to be able to throw it into the post.

868
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 22: The post players have to be able to catch the

869
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 22: ball at number one then have a move.

870
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what That's what Chris Webber and Jalen Rose

871
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 2: were talking about at halftime of the game. Man instead

872
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 2: of just tossed it around the perimeter, man, get it

873
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 2: inside to because you've got more size than they do.

874
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 2: And it was it was tough now Sewna Bayev you know,

875
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 2: was hot early, you know what, eleven points in the

876
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 2: first half, and you know he's.

877
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 4: He's good, but he's young.

878
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's really young. Yeah, Tom is young.

879
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,720
Speaker 22: Tom is nineteen years old and has only been playing

880
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 22: for five years. So yeah, you can give him a

881
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 22: little pass on that. Seven to two helps a lot

882
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 22: of things. And you know at the end he finishes

883
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 22: nine points, nine remounts and nearly a double doubles. Not

884
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 22: a horrible game, but a lot of miss points. There

885
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 22: are a lot of miss opportunities, and you know, I

886
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 22: think maybe they need to look toward him a little

887
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 22: bit more. And Miller didn't have a very good shooting night.

888
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 22: He was only three out of twelve. And shawna Bybe,

889
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 22: you got let him take some of the crazy shots

890
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 22: because next thing you know, he's hit three in a row.

891
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. Yeah, yeah, so.

892
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 22: He'll miss three four in a row, and then then

893
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 22: he'll make three four in a row. You know, you

894
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 22: don't know, and I guess you just have to live

895
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 22: with that. And Kirk Crisa is shooting the ball better.

896
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 22: He's up to thirty three percent, which is more in

897
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 22: line with where he shot in the past, because see,

898
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 22: he's been pretty good before at West Virginia and in

899
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 22: Arizona before that. He was hurt kind of most of

900
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 22: the year with Kentucky last year. But you know, it's

901
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 22: totally not over. But again what I was saying before,

902
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 22: after nine games are now six and three, which is

903
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 22: the worst they've been. West has had two teams that

904
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 22: were six and three after nine games. Last two years

905
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 22: they were eight and one, And you got to go

906
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 22: clear back to twenty twenty where there was a losing

907
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 22: record after nine games. But you know, you got to

908
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,439
Speaker 22: get through these through December and then, like you said,

909
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 22: January third, Calvin Sampson's waiting on you with the Houston

910
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 22: Cougars and you haven't beaten them. And it feels like

911
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 22: fifteen years. It's been least and I don't know exactly

912
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 22: when it was. It was at least a president ago.

913
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, five slam a sham a man. Wow, you know,

914
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 2: just to take a little u turn here with the

915
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 2: women's team. Man waiting on de Alexander, the five star

916
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:22,720
Speaker 2: athlete from Purcell Marion and all I have read and heard,

917
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 2: and you know, a lower body injury has stopped her

918
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 2: from uh you know, getting out there early in the season.

919
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 22: Well apparently she had a surgery and she's recovering from that.

920
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 22: Katrina Merriweather said after the game that she would be

921
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 22: practicing soon. And she's one of several very good freshmen.

922
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 22: I mean, the girl that led them in scoring the

923
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 22: other night, Coleid de Villisi. She's a freshman. There's several freshmen,

924
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 22: so they're having some growing pains there. And you know, again,

925
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 22: if you can keep the girls together for a handful

926
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 22: of years. Maybe you have something. I don't know if

927
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 22: it's going to work that way in women's basketball or not.

928
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 22: But I know Katrina is hurting because I can tell

929
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 22: you as a player and a coach and uh. And

930
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 22: then actually counting the years she was at Memphis who

931
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 22: was a coach, she never lost to Zaber. I mean

932
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 22: she was eleven or oh until Sunday. Wow, And so

933
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 22: that didn't sit well, but gives.

934
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 3: Z Ager credit.

935
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 22: And then the girl that was good for Xavier was

936
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 22: Mackenzie given to a local Princeton girl, So good for her,

937
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 22: and you know the local girl wants it, and she

938
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 22: came out and showed it. So yes, Hugh rough Patch

939
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 22: here for for U.

940
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 3: See the good news Liberty Bowl.

941
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,720
Speaker 22: You know, hopefully you can turn things around football wise,

942
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 22: but in the way everyone would have liked it with

943
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 22: four straight losses, but you're still at seven wins.

944
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 3: You have a chance at eight.

945
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 9: Uh.

946
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 22: Got to see who's going to play in the thing,

947
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 22: because I'm here to tell you I don't. I don't

948
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 22: think Navy's going to have any opt outs. I'm not

949
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 22: sure that's allowed.

950
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's where I wanted to go next with

951
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 2: your navies. Nine and two they've won two in a row.

952
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,959
Speaker 2: You see seven and six they've lost for in a row.

953
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 2: If you heard anything, if will you see be able

954
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 2: to keep this club together for the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.

955
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 22: Well as officially on the record, I don't know who

956
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 22: is not playing. I can speculate that those that are

957
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 22: maybe going to take a run into the NFL Draft

958
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 22: or probably not, wouldn't shock me if Brendan Sowsby doesn't play.

959
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 3: I don't know anything.

960
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 22: But there's you know, rumors out there where he's been

961
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 22: offered a decent sum of money at other places. And

962
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 22: then I think a CBS Sports put out a mock

963
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 22: draft where they had him in the first round pick

964
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 22: number thirty one by the LA Rams And so that's wow,

965
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 22: life changing money there too. Now, whether or not that

966
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 22: comes to fruition, it's hard to say. But he's got

967
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 22: a decision to make and I don't know what that

968
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 22: is yet, and trust me, I've been trying. Uh, But

969
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 22: the practices are are closed until Monday.

970
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 3: I'll know more on Monday, and.

971
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 22: Even at that point they might limit us on what we're.

972
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 3: Allowed to see and stuff.

973
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 2: So Scott, what we learned watching Texas Tech and b

974
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 2: YU O MG, the Red Raiders are fast and physical.

975
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 3: Well, and they're rich and oil can buy you a

976
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 3: great team.

977
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

978
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 22: Jed Klampitt strikes somewhere around here and and comes on

979
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 22: down to the Sacrely Athletic Performance Center and it says, fellows,

980
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 22: I got some money.

981
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah BYU's basketball team. They said, oh yeah, it starts

982
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 2: with this guy that they're adding pieces.

983
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 4: They've got money to burn out there.

984
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,479
Speaker 2: That dude is making what's seven million in the cat

985
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 2: from the transferred from Baylors at one point five. I mean,

986
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 2: it's it's crazy, insane money out in the Salt Lakes.

987
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 3: Well.

988
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 22: I don't know if they can ever get this regulated,

989
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 22: but yeah, that's essentially what's going on. Money buys your team,

990
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 22: and if you can get them together to play together,

991
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 22: you're on the way.

992
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 3: Utah today approved. I don't even know how, you know.

997
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:30,840

1013
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 2: I want the phone lines to light up, and so

1014
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 2: get lined up like the cigarettes on the table in

1015
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 2: the cafeteria in the prison in Shawshank Redemption, because we're

1016
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 2: going to play that popular game called reverse radio where

1017
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: you call in and I ask you the questions.

1018
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,040

Speaker 2: Joe Waddell doing a great job is tonight's producer. In

01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 2: the control room. We're going all the way to nine

1027
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 2: o'clock and that's when Gary Jeff Walker takes over these airwaves. Well,

1028
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 2: I got this idea from Dan Horde, voice of the

1029
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 2: Bearcats and the Bengals, a game called reverse Radio where

1030
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 2: the caller calls in at five one three, seven four nine,

1031
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 2: seven thousand, one eight hundred the Big One, and I

1032
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 2: ask you the questions. It's gonna take some calls tonight

1033
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 2: for this to get pulled off. I've got a list

1034
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 2: here of twenty questions that I want to ask the

1035
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 2: listeners and the callers. So who's going to be my

1036
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 2: first caller? Because I've got my coffee, I've got my computer.

1037
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 2: All I need is you at five P one three

1038
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 2: seven four, nine, seven thousand, one eight hundred the Big One.

1039
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 2: And until we get some calls, all I can say

1040
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 2: is man it's tough being a Bengals span. They are

1041
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 2: the masters of disasters, inventing ways.

1042
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 4: To lose with their four and nine record.

1043
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 2: Following Sunday's snowy thirty nine to thirty four loss to

1044
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, New York, everything was

1045
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 2: going along smoothly at Buffalo until it wasn't. Mike Giseki's

1046
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 2: twelve yard touchdown reception gave Cincinnati a twenty eight to

1047
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 2: eighteen lead with eight forty four remaining. He even did

1048
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 2: the gritty I'm feeling really good at that point, and

1049
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 2: then in a four minute, thirty second span, the Bill

1050
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 2: scored twenty one points. Cedric Johnson rushes from the right

1051
01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 2: end side and can't hit Josh Allen. That vac aided

1052
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 2: the whole left side of the field and Josh Allen

1053
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 2: bolts forty yards for a touchdown. Then came Christian benford

1054
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 2: sixty three yard pick six at five point twenty five,

1055
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 2: and then a three yard Jackson Hawes TD catch at

1056
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 2: three oh three. T Higgins one handed greb from twenty

1057
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 2: five yards out at two thirteen pulled the Bengals win

1058
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 2: in thirty nine to thirty four in Cincinnati had a

1059
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 2: chance to get the ball back for a possible.

1060
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 4: Miracle finish, but no.

1061
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Third and fifteen from Buffalo's twenty five yard line with

1062
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 2: a buck fifty four to go. Josh Allen, operating out

1063
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 2: of the shotgun, runs for seventeen yards game over.

1064
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 4: Unbelievable.

1065
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 2: Bengals continue to get lit up by tight ends and

1066
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 2: from Joe Goodbarry tight ends this year ninety seven catches

1067
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 2: for twelve one hundred yards and fifteen.

1068
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 4: Touchdowns against the Bengals.

1069
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 2: Everton ten and a half targets, seven and a half

1070
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 2: catches and ninety seven yards by Bengals opposing tight ends.

1071
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 2: Brutal Well, who's up first here? We've got Tracy and Roselawn. Tracy,

1072
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 2: how are you tonight?

1073
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 3: I'm doing good.

1074
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 4: Check hope you're doing well, buddy, Fantastic. Here's my question.

1075
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 2: Would you rather have a Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl or

1076
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 2: a Reds World Series Championship?

1077
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 4: And why?

1078
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 23: I think I would rather have a Reds World Championship

1079
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 23: World Series victory. And it's a long season, and I

1080
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 23: think the Reds are.

1081
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 3: They're equipped to do well.

1082
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 2: Fantastic and Tracy, the phone lines have lived up like

1083
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 2: a Christmas Tree, like the cigarettes on the table in

1084
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 2: the cafeteria in the prison at Shawshank Redemption.

1085
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 4: So I got a run. Appreciate the call. Dan is in.

1086
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 4: Dan Is in Cincinnati.

1087
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 5: Hey Dan, Hey, how are you chick?

1088
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 2: Fantastic? Do you ever play golf.

1089
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 15: Occasionally?

1090
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 2: Okay, you've got one round to play? Is it Pebble

1091
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 2: Beach or is it Augusta National?

1092
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 15: It would have to be a pebble beach. Just a location.

1093
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 24: Uh not that, not.

1094
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 11: That Augusta National isn't pretty awesome, but uh, it's all

1095
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 11: I've always wanted to play pebble Beach.

1096
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 2: I've never been to Pebble Beach. I've been on the

1097
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 2: grounds of Augusta National three times for practice rounds, and

1098
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 2: it is uh arguably the most gorgeous acreage I've ever

1099
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 2: stood on.

1100
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 4: Awesome.

1101
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,480

01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 2: Hey chick.

1107
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 4: Are you ready?

Speaker 3: Yeah?

Speaker 12: Go ahead?

1110
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:30,439
Speaker 4: All right.

1111
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 2: We are the world's most valuable franchise in sports.

1112
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 4: Who are we?

1113
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 3: And here's a hint, Dallas Cowboys.

1114
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 4: Yes, any guess? And how much they're worth?

1115
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 3: I have no idea, more than I can comprehend.

1116
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 4: Thirteen billion dollars.

1117
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 2: They took over number one in valuation in all of

1118
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 2: sports from the soccer club Real Madrid in twenty sixteen.

1119
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 2: Thirteen billion. Brother, how awesome is that?

1120
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 16: That's awesome?

1121
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 3: But chick, you ready for softball?

1122
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 4: God?

1123
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 3: Yes?

1124
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I really am. It's always uh. One day

1125
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 2: it's thirty degrees and I'm at Oxford Talawanda for a

1126
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 2: doubleheader against Northwest and I'm there.

1127
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 4: What am I doing here? I'm freezing?

1128
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 2: And the next day it's seventy degrees and Sonny that

1129
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 2: softball season for he wrote, it's a beautiful thing. Yes,

1130
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,919
Speaker 2: sir Charlie, thanks so much. Man, We're going all right.

1131
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 2: Take care. We got Mark and Louisville.

1132
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 21: Yes, would you mind if I made a comment on

1133
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 21: all those two trades as you were talking about, yes,

1134
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 21: instead of taking this check.

1135
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:50,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1136
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 21: Taking to your question, yeah, yes, I remember where I

1137
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 21: was on both of those trades. I believe I got

1138
01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 21: the vitea blue trade off of Trumpy's show. Yes, I

1139
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 21: think he announced what happened on his show. But I

1140
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 21: was in college on the Frank Robinson trade and a

1141
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 21: friend of mine came in, an equal Reds fan, and

1142
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 21: he told me what happened, and both of us agreed.

1143
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 21: There was no way we could go to classes that day,

1144
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 21: so we you know, we had to take that day

1145
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 21: off morning. Yes, but there's something about that trade that

1146
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 21: you said tonight, and Jim Day, who I love, says

1147
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 21: it all the time, and you're both incorrect about what

1148
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 21: she said. Now I'll tell you what it was. Frank

1149
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 21: was not traded because the Reds thought he was old.

1150
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 21: That was the reason put out by the Reds publicist.

1151
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 21: But the reason that he was actually traded was that

1152
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,719
Speaker 21: he had gotten arrested three times in an eighteen month

1153
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 21: period for something that if had happened today, he would

1154
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 21: have just said to him, don't do it anymore. That's it.

1155
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 21: I mean, it was so minor, it was ridiculous, but

1156
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 21: seemed like a big thing to the Reds, and that's

1157
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 21: what pull the trigger. I can't think of anybody today

1158
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 21: that could verify what I just said, and I don't

1159
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 21: want you to think I would make that up and

1160
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 21: say that everybody around the Reds knew that, and of

1161
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 21: course it was a terrible trade, you know, and the

1162
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 21: only other thing, and you know, I'm a diehard Reds fan.

1163
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 21: Anybody that thought the Reds were gonna sign Shrober, they

1164
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 21: just couldn't have been a Reds fan. They're gonna sign nobody.

1165
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 21: Last year, when they signed Hayes and he hit two

1166
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 21: home runs in the first spring training game, the Reds

1167
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 21: thought they had their cleanup hitter and the guy to

1168
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 21: protect de la Cruz. If that doesn't tell you how

1169
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 21: bad of shape this organization's in. What can I say?

1170
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 2: All Right, Mark, Hey, appreciate the call as always, look

1179
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 25: the way, Dallas is an awesome organization. I'm not surprised.

1180
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 25: It's thirteen billion, taken over from Real Madrid, so that's

1181
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:23,759
Speaker 25: it's pretty cool.

1182
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:29,320

1183

1184
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:37,360

Speaker 4: The dude is a sponsorship machine. He really is.

1186
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,480

1409
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:32,439

Speaker 5: Oh, Hammer and Hank.

1411
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 4: That's it. The fourth one is very tough.

1412
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 2: It's been recent, but he made his hay with the

1421
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 2: much for playing reverse radio.

1422
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 5: Oh, I appreciate this out, dude me, thanks, dude, thank you.

1423
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,839
Speaker 4: Awesome. We've got six more minutes. Who's next?

1424
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 2: Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, one eight hundred

1425
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 2: The big one Well word came across yesterday a Bengals

1426
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 2: transaction on Bengals dot com. So I called it up

1427
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:38,719
Speaker 2: and it was one sentence. The Bengals today waived wide

1428
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 2: receiver Jermaine Burton, third round pick from the University of

1429
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:55,679
Speaker 2: Alabama in twenty twenty four. I automatically thought of Chris Carter.

1430
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 2: Some indiscretions with the Philadelphia Eagles cut unceremoniously gone. But

1431
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:11,680
Speaker 2: luckily for Chris got his life together. He got claimed

1432
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 2: by the Minnesota Vikings, and all he did was catch

1433
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 2: touchdown passes and he is in the Pro Football Hall

1434
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 2: of Fame. I also thought of Jim Lippencott, the former

1435
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 2: personnel boss of the Bengals, and he told me, Chick,

1436
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 2: you don't quit the NFL. The NFL quits you. The

1437
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 2: Bengals had to cut ties with this immature problem plagued

1438
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:47,680
Speaker 2: young man. I hope he gets his life together. I

1439
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 2: hope he buckles down Lands with another team and has

1440
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 2: a successful career. I hope his career is not over.

1441
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 2: The NFL stands for not for long. And this wasn't

1442
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 2: just a flyer the Bengals took on this wide receiver.

1443
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 2: This was a third round draft pick. A flyer is

1444
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 2: a seventh rounder from LSU by the name of Benny

1445
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 2: Brazil from years gone by. You take the flyer on

1446
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 2: the seventh round wide receiver who's a sprinter Okay, this

1447
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 2: was a legitimate third round pick that the Bengals wanted,

1448
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 2: and now he's gone. And a sign of the immaturity

1449
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 2: is if you can't play for a team that's got

1450
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow that kind of leader and the leadership of

1451
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 2: the wide receivers in Jamar Chase and t Higgins, well

1452
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:55,639
Speaker 2: then something is dramatically wrong. So you can't just survive

1453
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,839
Speaker 2: on talent alone. Let's go out to the phones. Greg

1454
