71
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: It's not my idea, it was given to me to

72

85
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: I want to get straight to the most important thing.

86
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 4: Can you confirm that you fired a hole in one

87
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 4: at the Wigwam in Arizona earlier this month?

88
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: Confirmed? Yes, I actually had two witnesses, so it wasn't

89
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: be out playing by myself sometimes. Yeah, that was number

90
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: four for me and wow, it's always fun. It never

91
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: gets old.

92
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 4: How about that congratulations? That is that is very cool?

93
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: You were You were the subject to Dave laurla Fangrafts

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: I learned to you for his Sunday Notes this week

95
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: and ask you about Matt McClain. What do you make

96
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: a McClain's spring and how important is he to this

97
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 4: Reds twenty twenty sixth season.

98
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: You know, actually David didn't ask me about Matt McCain.

99
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: He asked me which guy in the Reds batting order

100
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 3: is probably the most important player? And that's why I

101
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: picked Matt McClain, not only because he had a big spring,

102
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: but because there have been expectations from Matt he'd ever

103
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: since he was drafted number one by the red several

104
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: years ago and then he hurt his arm and he

105
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: missed the twenty four season. He came back last year,

106
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: didn't play that great, and then he turned it on

107
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: the spring, and I think we're finally beginning to see

108
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 3: what happens after the year. You're healthy, you feel a

109
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: little bit better, you get your confidence back, you take

110
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: your instruction from your hitting coach a little bit more

111
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: to heart, and I think that's all playing well for him.

112
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: He's made some adjustments at the plate physically, but I

113
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: think the confidence factor is the biggest thing of all.

114
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: And I really believe that mcclin could have a monster year.

115
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: Chris, do you have any level of concern in the

116
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: spring performance of Andrew Abbott?

117
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: Not really, be honest with you. I've seen so many

118
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: times in spring training which has no indication at all

119
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: how you're going to do. Now. As long as Andrew

120
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: is healthy, I think he's gonna be fine. He's a bulldog.

121
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 3: He's a guy that reminds me a lot of the

122
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: way Tom Browning went about it, which you watch him

123
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: warm up and you're not that impressed, but you said,

124
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you see him bow down the

125
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: other team. You know, for five or six innings and

126
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: it makes it look easy. Abbott is a guy that's

127
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: going to figure out how to get it done. And

128
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: I think that you really evaluate him less through all

129
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: of his individual pitches. You know, his velocity and his

130
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: spin ray and the curvature and all that stuff. It

131
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: doesn't mean that much to me. It's how he feels

132
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 3: on the mound and whether he can do the things

133
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: that he wants to do. And I think it'd be healthy.

134
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: He's going to be just fine. I know a lot

135
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: of people are really worrying about that, but I'm not

136
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: one of them right now.

137
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 4: I was struck by a conversation you had with Tommy

138
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: during a broadcast during the spring about how pitch is thrown.

139
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 4: An innings thrown in the spring are different than throwing

140
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: major league gettings, and I wonder it seems because of

141
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: injuries that they're putting a lot on the shoulders right

142
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: from jump on Chase Burns, Red Ladder and Brandon Williamson.

143
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a little concerning to me, to be honest

144
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 5: with you, because you know, let's just take the example

145
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: of Matt McClain.

146
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: He missed an entire season in twenty twenty four. He

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: came back in twenty twenty five. The expectations by a

148
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: lot of people around the ball club where the oh,

149
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: he's going to pick up right where he was when

150
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: his rookie year, you know he did so well. Well,

151
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: it's not that easy, especially when it comes to pitching,

152
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: because now you're going to ask them guys to fill

153
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: in the gap that they're just not used to doing.

154
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: Their body's not ready for it, their head isn't ready

155
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: for it, and I think it's going to be very

156
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: tough to do. This is the one biggest thing I

157
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: think facing every team, not only the Reds, but every

158
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: team out there. As you see fewer and fewer pitchers

159
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: going deep in the games and then going deep into

160
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: the season, a major league team has to say somehow

161
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: covered around fourteen hundred to fifteen hundred innings per season.

162
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: And if you've got guys that used to throw two

163
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: hundred innings twenty years ago and now they're only throwing

164
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty innings, now, how do you fill

165
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: the gap? And now you have injured players that are

166
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: coming back they're healthy this year, yes, but really, what

167
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: can you expect that of Burns? What can you expect

168
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: that of Williamson, Aggie Are I mean, any of these

169
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: guys coming up, how many innings can you actually expect

170
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: out of them so that you can satisfactorily fill that

171
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: gap with good pitching. And I think that's every general

172
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: manager's nightmare, and I think it is probably keeping Nick

173
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: Crawl awake at night two.

174
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: Chris, did you ever deal with blisters during your career?

175
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: I think every pitcher is double blisters, But I never

176
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 3: had recurring blisters. So sometimes, you know, you get a

177
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 3: baseball on a certain nye, you grip it especially hard

178
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: and you end up with a blister of some kind.

179
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: But you know, Nick Ladolo has a blister on his

180
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: index finger, which is very unusual for pitchers. Most of

181
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 3: the time when you get a blister is a pitcher,

182
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: it's on your your middle finger and right on the

183
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: pad where you kind of that's the last finger to

184
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: really be on the baseball. But there's a pitch that

185
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: Lodolo throws where I think it's a slider that comes

186
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: off that index finger is in a funny way and

187
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: he tends to irritated. And I have not been around

188
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: pitchers that have done that very often. I've always wondered,

189
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 3: you know, since it's his third year doing this, he's

190
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: missed two weeks last year, he missed two and the

191
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: half weeks. I think the year before, you know, while

192
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: I spend the winter figuring out a different way to

193
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 3: fill that bitch, because you know, his his magic on

194
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: the mound is not due to how the ball comes

195
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 3: out of his fingertips. It's his size, it's his presence,

196
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: it's his stride towards home, played his armslot all those

197
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: things together, and I think that he could have figured

198
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 3: out a way to get around that so that you

199
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: don't have a worry about the the you know, the

200
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 3: index finger and the blister. So I'm a little surprised

201
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 3: that's still going to be bothering him. Hopefully, as in

202
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 3: the past, you get a take in care of the

203
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: it doesn't get to you there for the rest of

204
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: the year.

205
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: Chris Tito's kicked around the idea of having Sal Stuart

206
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 4: now bat fourth after Elie and in front of Auhineoswarrez.

207
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 4: As you saw Sal last year, you saw him in

208
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,479
Speaker 4: the spring. What are what are your impressions? What excites

209
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: you about someone who I hear a lot of people

210
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: say maybe a young hitter, but he doesn't perform like

211
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 4: a young hit. Performs more and carries himself more like

212
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: a veteran.

213
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: He's the best young hitter I've seen the Reds uniform

214
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: in a long time. I mean a long time. And

215
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 3: it goes to show you too, that Tito has been around.

216
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: I mean, he's seen a lot of players, and he's

217
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: thinking about moving him up in the order in the

218
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: number four spot. Here's a kid that's what twenty two,

219
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 3: twenty three years old, So I think that's really a

220
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: feather in the cap for Stuart. He's not intimidated at

221
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 3: the play. He's got great stage presence. You watch Stuart,

222
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: you know, play the game. I mean he's always talking

223
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: to somebody. He'll go down, get to the first base,

224
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: he'll talk to the first base coach, talk to first

225
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 3: base umpire. You know. Terry fan Crona told him, it's

226
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: just how many years you've been in the league. You

227
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: know everybody in the league already, because that's what it

228
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: seems like. It just goes to show you, though, how

229
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: comfortable he is. That's one of the big obstacles young

230
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: players have to get past, is, you know, feeling like

231
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: they belong here. Well, Stuart feels like he belongs here,

232
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: There's no question about it. I think it's you know,

233
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 3: some people call it cockiness, others call it confidence. But

234
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: I think it's a good spot for him, and he's dangerous.

235
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: And because you have Stuart and now you have any

236
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: heros Warez, and you've got a new year now for

237
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: Ellie da la Cruz who popped on a twenty two

238
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: or twenty three last year when he was injured. I

239
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 3: think this is a deeper lineup than they've had in

240
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: a long time, and it's got more thumb.

241
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 4: I was like, as we close, talking about a passion

242
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 4: of yours, and that's the Baseball Rules Academy, Baseball Rules

243
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 4: Academy dot com, I believe, tell everybody about it.

244
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: Well, next couple of days, look on Twitter, because I'm

245
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: going to come out with a three part series on

246
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 3: at least two part series on the ads and all

247
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: the little intricacies of the ABS and the effects that's

248
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: going to have on Major League Baseball that people haven't

249
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: thought of so far. So that's going to be out there.

250
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: It's going gangbusters. I'm getting several thousand people a day

251
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: on the site. It's more rather than it's a website

252
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: about the rules. I think I've developed more of a

253
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: learning platform on how to learn the rules of baseball

254
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 3: and kind of a fun way. So I'm working at it.

255
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: It's a passion of mine. Thanks for asking me, and

256
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: we keep plugging away and having some fun.

257
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it.

258
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 4: I got about a minute and you sparked another question.

259
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 4: I forgot. What are your impressions of the ABS going

260
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 4: through the spring with it and how it may.

261
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: Impact the game.

262
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 3: I think it's going to you know, they say it's

263
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: going to add about a minute to the game. Okay,

264
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 3: So I think that it's what fans wanted. As soon

265
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: as we saw that strike zone box up on the

266
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: screen every pitch starting about what six or seven years ago,

267
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 3: I knew that this was coming because there's no way

268
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: that you're going to throw a pitch. It's being evaluated

269
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: now by umpire, it's being evaluated by people at home

270
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 3: watching it on the screen. So you have to give

271
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: players a chance to have a correct call made and

272
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 3: in a very important time part of the game. And

273
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: I think that's what the ABS Challenge does. It's not perfect.

274
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 3: You can't believe everything that it says that it's more

275
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: accurate than anything else. But really the bottom line for me,

276
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 3: Lance is that it shows me the Major League umpires

277
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 3: are pretty dog one, good at what they do.

278
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 6: Very well.

279
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 4: Said he is, Chris Welsh. He's on X at Think

280
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 4: pitch for more Man. This is always a treat. It

281
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: is great here in your voice and hope to see

282
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 4: you on Thursday.

283
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: Do you better believe it? Lance, Good luck to you

284
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: and go red.

285
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: Thanks Chris.

286

391

402
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 4: The DNA of what they're all about under Jared Calhoun?

403
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 6: My theen Jared will bring it back to where it was, man.

Speaker 6: know some have a good relationship with Mick.

407
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,080

409
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 7: to you know, diving on the floor, you know, taking charges,

410
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 7: you know, loose balls. I think, you know, his offensive

411
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 7: promise is good. I love you know, the sets that

412
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 7: he runs. I mean, I think we'll get back to

413
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 7: We'll get things back to where, you know.

414
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 6: Where there used to be. I mean, I get the

415
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 6: arena back rocking and rolling.

416
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 9: Man.

417
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 4: I looked at this up earlier today and it's it's

418
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 4: almost impossible to believe, but it's true. Since your Sweet

419
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 4: sixteen team of one and that was the loss to Stanford,

420
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: U S has been doing one Sweet sixteen since then.

421
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 4: That's gotta frustrate you and you and you got to

422
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 4: believe that that Jared can can get that going in

423
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 4: the right direction.

424
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, there's there's there's a lot of things, man.

425
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, those guys across town. The last

426
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 7: time we actually won it in that arena was Steve

427
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 7: Logan and I were in the back court and we

428
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 7: were number one in the country that year, but that

429
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 7: was two thousand and two, man, So I mean we've

430
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 7: got to we got a lot of things to check

431
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 7: off this list to get back to us, to get

432
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 7: back to where we need to be.

433
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 10: Man.

434
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 6: But yeah, that that uh that's sweet sixteen team. You

435
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 6: know it was Kenny Saderfield, Logan, myself.

436
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 7: Donald Little, so we had a you know, good run there.

437
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 7: But yeah, we've got to get back to relevancy, man.

438
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 7: I mean, this is this is my favorite time of

439
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 7: the year, you know, March madness, and it just stings

440
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 7: when we're not a part of it. I mean, I

441
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 7: don't care if we're going to play one game, win

442
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 7: one game, but just get in, you know, let's let's

443
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 7: just get in. I mean, it's just very frustrating to

444
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 7: not to not to not be in the tournament, man,

445
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 7: especially during the time.

446
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love the tournament time.

447
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 4: Hey, update listeners, where are you these days? What are

00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: great catching up with you and getting perspective on all this.

470
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: Thank you for making.

471
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 7: Time anytime, Lancey, anytime you know you guys ever needed anything,

472
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 7: I'm here, man. I appreciate you guys, and uh and

473
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 7: keep up.

474
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: The good work.

475
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 4: Sounds good, Thanks Leonard, thanks us. All right there you go.

476
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 4: Lenny Stokes, Yeah, he was. And I'll admit Chad Brendle

477
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 4: Plant of the seat in my head when I had

478
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 4: Chad on last night and he mentioned on their show

479
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 4: last night, the Nightcap, they were going to have Leonard on,

480
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, yeah, geez, I haven't talked to

481
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 4: Leonard forever, so sent him a text and figured he

482
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 4: would lend some interesting perspective on someone he's known going

483
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 4: back over what twenty plus years. Still ahead, we'll get

484
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: in a little bit more on this Gerald, Jared Calhoun

485
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 4: and something Chad said last night about Calhoun and his

486
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 4: offense is ahead, and plenty of Red's conversation coming. It's

487
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,840

Speaker 4: at Modern Offa's Methods. Scott Springer on the scene and

497
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 4: confirming that Jared Calhoun has in fact landed his video

498
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 4: of him getting off the plane being greeted by the

499
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 4: powers that be at u See, including John Cunningham and others. Also,

500
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: Xavier has walked off u See to win the nuts

501
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 4: All Classic.

502
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 2: This round of it.

503
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 4: UC scored a run in the top of the ninth

504
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 4: to break a two to two tie to go up

505
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 4: three to two. The Musketeers then scored twice in the

506
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 4: bottom of the ninth to beat the Bearcats four to three,

507
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 4: the final score in that one so Jared Calhoun in

508
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 4: the fold six years, three point seven million in his

509
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 4: first year official introduce tomorrow at one o'clock. There were

510
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: two things that Chad Brendel of Bearcat Journal mentioned yesterday

511
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 4: when he was on the show about the offense. How

512
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: it might look here compared to previous UC offenses here

513
00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 4: and how sure a deal this it was from both

514
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 4: sides perspective. Take a listen to what Chad said about

515
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 4: the timeline of getting this deal done.

516
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 10: All indications from minute one, day one or that Cincinnati

517
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 10: had their eyes on Calhoun, he was interested in return,

518
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 10: and that this thing was eventually going.

519
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: To lead to a marriage.

520
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 4: Give the quick connection or trace the connection back to

521
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 4: UC through Huggins to this point for Jered Calhoun.

522
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 10: So he started as a student assistant in the two

523
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 10: thousand and three two thousand and four season here with Cincinnati,

524
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 10: eventually ended up at West Virginia with Huggins, was his

525
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 10: director of operations video coordinator, and then worked his way

526
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 10: up to his final year there. He was a bench

527
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 10: assistant six years with Huggins between Cincinnati and West Virginia,

528
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 10: very close ties. I mean, if we're being honest, it

529
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 10: probably cost him the West Virginia job last year just

530
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 10: because they were looking to go away from the Bob

531
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 10: Huggins tree and worked out great for Cincinnati.

532
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 4: His offense, just in the limited time I've watched, that's

533
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 4: a fun offense to watch.

534
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 10: It's what you want a modern offense to look like.

535
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 10: It relies on being able to shoot the three pointer,

536
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 10: but it's not dependent on only the three pointer. A

537
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 10: lot of movement, a lot of pressure on the rim.

538
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 10: The thing I loved in that Villanova game.

539
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 11: A thirty plus free throws like.

540
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 10: That is just something it was. It was a focus

541
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 10: for Hugs, it was a focus for Mick For whatever reason.

542
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 10: It just was never a focus for Wes Miller.

543
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: Getting to the free throw line.

544
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 10: If you're gonna score efficiently in college basketball today, you've

545
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 10: gotta be better at getting to the free throw line

546
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 10: than Cincinnati was, and they had two league guards that

547
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 10: average one free throw attempt to game. Essentially, you're never

548
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 10: gonna be an effective offense if that's the case. So

549
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 10: you get movement, you get cutting, you get you know,

550
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 10: the ability to win even if you're.

551
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: Not shooting it well.

552
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 10: If you are shooting it well, you're gonna look outstanding.

553
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: And if you watched them.

554
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 10: That's played true and pretty much how their results have gone.

555
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 4: Part part of Chad brendle Our conversation last night here

556
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 4: on Sports Talk from Bearcat Journal. They've got a great

557
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 4: deal right now. I believe what did he say, seventy

558
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 4: five percent off.

559
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 12: For a year.

560
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 4: They are certainly all over this, Jared Calhoun. The offensive

561
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 4: numbers to back up what Chad said, second straight season

562
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 4: one of the most efficient offenses in the country. They

563
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 4: were twentieth in offensive efficiency a year ago, twenty sixth

564
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,239
Speaker 4: this year. Even defensively made improvements. Leaps and bounds went

565
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 4: from one fiftieth in the country last year to forty

566
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 4: fourth in the country, and defensive efficiency this year they

567
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 4: led the Mountain Were at West in field goal percentage.

568
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 4: They were the fifteenth best shooting team in the country

569
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 4: forty nine point six percent from the field. They were

570
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 4: seventeenth best in the country and assist per game, dishing

571
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 4: almost eighteen assists per game. They were let's see, the

572
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: Aggies led the Mountain West in fast break points fourteen

573
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 4: points a game and scoring offense eighty two points a game.

574
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: Oh.

575
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 4: From Chad's point of getting to the free throw line

576
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 4: to these numbers of shooting the ball well, passing it well,

577
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 4: and pushing it to get easy baskets, I can't wait

578
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 4: for what you see basketball is going to look like

579
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 4: under Jared Calhoun. John Cunningham saying today and I quote,

580
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: Jared is a tireless worker, has an incredible passion and

581
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 4: talent for developing not just players but people, and has

582
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 4: won it every stop along the way. He's one of

583
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 4: the best offensive mines in college basketball and has the

584
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 4: pedigree to take Cincinnati basketball to the next level in

585
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 4: the Big Twelve and nationally. I'm looking forward to welcoming

586
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 4: his wife, Sarah and children Jordan, Kennedy, Kendall, and Quinn

587
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 4: to the Cincinnati family again. One o'clock announcement tomorrow afternoon

588
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 4: at Fifth Third Arena. The is open to the public.

589
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 4: The doors will open at noon. All right, this from

590
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball. The Cubs and Pete crow Armstrong in

591
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 4: agreement on a six year, one hundred and fifteen million

592
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 4: dollar contract. The deal starts in twenty twenty seven, does

593
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 4: not include a club option. That means, uh, crow Armstrong

594
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 4: could hit free agency before he's thirty one. Basically, they

595
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 4: buy out what they buy out four years. They buy

596
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 4: out his arbitration years. I will say this though, he

597
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 4: is a young and dynamic player, but man, he swings

598
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 4: at everything. And last year after the All Star Break,

599
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 4: he hit two sixteen with a two sixty two on

600
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 4: base percentage. And that's that's chess pieces, that's the league

601
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 4: making an adjustment. And now you're banking on one hundred

602
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 4: and fifteen million dollars that he will be able to

603
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 4: make the adjustments back. That's one in the books. When

604
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 4: we continue, let's open up the lines five one, three, seven, four, nine,

605
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 4: seven thousand, one eight hundred.

606
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: The big one.

607
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 4: We heard from Chris Welsh. I want to talk some reds.

608
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 4: We heard from Leonard Stokes. I want to talk to

609
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 4: Jared Calhoun. I'll do it with you as we continue

610
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 4: after a check on news, It's Arnel Carrier Sports Talk

611
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 4: presented by Kelsey Chevelet, seven hundred WLW. You think of

612
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 4: the Bearcats hiring of Jared Calhoun, sixty two percent say

613
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 4: love it, twenty two and a half percent say like it,

614
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 4: nine and a half per nine percent say okay with it,

615
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 4: and for whatever reason, two point four percent do not

616
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 4: like it. Those maybe Xavier fans for all we know,

617
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 4: but that would be from at least like it. That

618
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 4: would be eighty eight almost eighty nine percent say they

619
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 4: at least like it. I love it for multiple reasons,

620
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: and I truly believe if you strip away the UC

621
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 4: connection to it, he would still have been the choice.

622
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 4: I think there's a reason why he is the hot

623
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 4: coaching name. He's forty four years old, He's won it

624
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 4: multiple places. He's coming off a season where they won

625
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 4: the RIG, their season championship in the Mountain West, and

626
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 4: the conference tournament championship in the Mountain West, a win

627
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 4: in the NCAA Tournament over Villanova. You take you can

628
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 4: take out the UC history, and I think on the surface,

629
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 4: if you looked at the resume, we would be talking

630
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: about that name anyway.

631
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: You add to it.

632
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 4: Then that connection of UC being a U SEE graduate,

633
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 4: being helping Hugs here and then helping Hugs at West

634
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 4: Virginia and it it's the perfect blend of everything. A young,

635
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 4: rising coaching mind who's won it multiple places. I had

636
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 4: so many people say, if you can win at Youngstown State,

637
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: you can win anywhere. He went to Utah State and

638
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 4: he won. He has the connections to Huggins. He played

639
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 4: for Raleigh Massimino. Not a bad tree of coaching legacies.

640
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 4: Joe Missoula, the Boston Celtics coach, was his assistant at

641
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 4: one of his stops. That was Fairmont. I believe the

642
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 4: Division two school along the way.

643
00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: There's a lot.

644
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 4: I didn't even get into the offensive side of things,

645
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 4: which I absolutely love. The way he approaches and teaches

646
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 4: offense and the efficiency and the way they operate. It

647
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 4: will be nice, not that I don't appreciate defense, but

648
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 4: it will be nice to have an offensive minded coach

649
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 4: coming in here. And it's not like he's running gun

650
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 4: only play offense, get the ball out of the net

651
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 4: and go let him score. The defense has gotten better

652
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 4: now it will be interesting his associate head coach who

653
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 4: was kind of the defensive guy there. It has ties

654
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: back to the NKU program as an assistant for five years.

655
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: I want to say.

656
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 4: He has left to take the Turtleton State job, so

657
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 4: there'll be a replacement there. But man, if you look

658
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 4: at the way that the style of basketball they play,

659
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 4: it's an enjoyable style of play to watch and you

660
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: go back. He's one of the Division two level. It

661
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 4: was Fairmont State led them to the National Championship game,

662
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 4: finished runner up in twenty seventeen eighty eight percent. At

663
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 4: least like it, if not love it your thoughts at

664
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 4: five three, seven, four nine, seven thousand, one eight hundred

665
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 4: the big One.

666
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 2: This Joey Vando news.

667
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 4: Is absolutely unbelievably fantastically cool. If you haven't seen the

668
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 4: pictures of it, check it out. I've got it on

669
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 4: my Twitter feed ex Atlance Pacallister. Also on my Facebook

670
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 4: page with a full rundown Lance Pacallister Sports Talk. But

671
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 4: Joey Vodo has gifted the Reds a custom built Verdon clock.

672
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 4: It has been installed at the entrance of Great American Ballpark.

673
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 4: Joey saying today, quote I'm excited about giving the clock

674
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 4: to the city, the team, and the fans. Being the

675
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 4: oldest professional team, I wanted this clock to add to

676
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: the charm and mystique of the Reds experience. It's crafted

677
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 4: by the Verdon Company, Cincinnati based Verden Company. It's sixteen

678
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 4: feet eight inches tall. There's four thirty six inch dials

679
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 4: on the clock. It is located on Crosley Terrace, just

680
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 4: outside the main ballpark entrance. Think as you walk up,

681
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 4: you see those business offices on the left, you see

682
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 4: the Reds Hall of Fame on the right, and you

683
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 4: start to walk down past all the statues there. It

684
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 4: is right at that and you talk about a photo

685
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 4: opportunity when you get to the ballpark. It is finished

686
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 4: in the official Reds Panton red with white trim.

687
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: The top is.

688
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 4: Hand painted to resemble a baseball and each clock face

689
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 4: includes Cincinnati across the top and Reds along the bottom.

690
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 4: Features Roman numerals, the iconic Reds wishbones ce centered on

691
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 4: each dial, and I really love this. The clockhead feature

692
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: speakers that can play hourly chimes and a wide range

693
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 4: of music including take Me Out to the Ballgame. At

694
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: the base of the clock bronze plaque honors ATTO's contribution.

695
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 4: It says, quote, thank you Cincinnati, with Joey Vode's signature

696
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 4: underneath the Averting Company CEO Bob Verdon, the third saying

697
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 4: Joey was involved in planning every detail.

698
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: This is so uniquely cool.

699
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 4: It is something that like only Joey Vada would think of,

700
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 4: Like that's a typical. It may be may maybe a

701
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 4: typical for anybody else. But if you had told me, hey,

702
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 4: Joey Vado is going to gift the Reds a clock,

703
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: I would say, well, that sounds like something Joey Voda

704
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 4: would do because it would be unique and different than

705
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 4: nobody else would think about that. I think it's a

706
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 4: really sharp look as you walk in, and I cannot

707
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 4: wait to see all the photos of people with family,

708
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 4: kids taking photos in front of that. Very well done

709
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 4: by Joey Vado. All right, let's get into some Reds.

710
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 4: We'll add to the mix in this hour. I am trying,

711
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 4: as I assume you are, I am trying to take

712
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 4: a deep breath and refer to the back of Andrew

713
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 4: Rabbit's baseball card. When it comes to the question of

714
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: my level of concern with Andrew Rabbit six starts in

715
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 4: the spring, twelve point seven four earned run average. He

716
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 4: threw seventeen just over seventeen innings. He allowed twenty eight

717
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 4: hits in the spring. He gave up eleven more hits

718
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 4: than any other Reds pitcher in camp. He gave up

719
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 4: twenty five runs, which was and this is incredible, fourteen

720
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 4: more runs allowed than any other Reds pitcher in camp.

721
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 4: He gave up six home runs, three more than any

722
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 4: Reds pitcher. But I'm doing air quotes. It's just spring training,

723
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 4: is what I keep saying to myself. And I played

724
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 4: a little of this last night, and I think it's

725
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 4: worth referencing again. I want you to take a listen

726
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 4: as last week unfolded the things that Terry Franconis said,

727
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 4: the word choices, even the pauses and reflections when asked

728
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 4: about Andrew Abbit first the start of last week, about

729
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 4: a week ago. Right now, here's what Tito said about

730
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 4: the performance this spring of Andrew Abbot.

731
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 12: Okay, the good news is he's healthy, So that's good.

732
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 12: He's not in mid season form.

733
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 6: We know that.

734
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 12: I think it'll help all of our sleep habits when

735
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 12: he gets going better. But saying that he's getting the

736
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 12: ball and we have enough confidence in him that he

737
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 12: will he will be good. I hope it's on opening day.

738
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 12: If it's not, I hope it's five days later. But

739
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 12: he this kids, he's okay, and like I said, he's healthy.

740
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 12: He just like you know, you see him picking at

741
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 12: the mound, you get a little frustrated. He's just gonna

742
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 12: have to work a little bit more to find his rhythm.

743
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 12: How much can adrenaline iron out some of that? You'd

744
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 12: be amazed sometimes when we the way I guess we

745
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 12: put it when they turn the lights on. Some guys

746
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 12: get that extra, you know, especially relievers. You hate to

747
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 12: count on it, but it's real and sometimes that last

748
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 12: little bit is really good for guys.

749
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 2: All Right, that's something else.

750
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 4: I will use his evidence to calm me, calm you,

751
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 4: and say, take a beat. It's spring training. Wait till

752
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 4: the lights come on and the stadium has that next deck,

753
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 4: as they say of a major lake stadium.

754
00:35:59,160 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: Now.

755
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 4: Later in the before his final start, Tito on the

756
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 4: Inside Pitch related a conversation he had with Andrew Rabbit

757
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 4: kind of trying to break the ice and any tension

758
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 4: over his performance listen to what Tito told Andrew Rabbit.

759
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 12: I don't know if I should share this or not,

760
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 12: but cause the other day I put my arm around

761
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 12: and we were walking from field one to field two

762
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 12: and I looked down. You know what, man, I said,

763
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 12: you kind of stink right now. I said, but you're

764
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 12: not gonna and I said you need to know that.

765
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 12: We know that, like you'll figure it out. And I said,

766
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 12: I hope you figured it out an opening day. I said,

767
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 12: if you don't, you're gonna figure it out five days later.

768
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 12: I said, that's just how we feel.

769
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 4: Terry Francona. Last week now, Andrew made his final start

770
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 4: on Saturday. I want to say it was four innings,

771
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,479
Speaker 4: five hits, four runs. I don't have it in front

772
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 4: of me. The numbers weren't ie poppingly good. But I'm

773
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 4: again struck by word choice. And maybe this is a

774
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 4: little bit of boost of positivity to not sound alarms.

775
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 4: Here's how Tito described Andrew's final outing on Saturday.

776
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 12: He was way more like Abbott. He followed the glove,

777
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 12: he was had some fluidity in his delivery. He looked

778
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 12: more confident. And again, that's what we talk all time.

779
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 12: When you leave here. One guy's feeling good about themselves.

780
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 12: I'm telling you, you look up five stars from now.

781
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 12: Regardless of what he does, nobody's gonna know what he

782
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 12: did out here. And that's the kind of the beauty

783
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 12: of it. I think it looked like he was enjoying

784
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 12: pitching more.

785
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 2: All right, I'll take that now.

786
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 4: I've been thinking about this since yesterday and then I

787
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 4: heard Murdy reference it with Tom yesterday morning. The balance,

788
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 4: the give and take of what matters and what doesn't matter.

789
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 4: Because on one hand, you say, Andrew Abbitt was an

790
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 4: All Star last year. Spring training numbers don't matter. He's

791
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 4: got a back of the Baseball card of three seasons,

792
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 4: seventy five starts, over four hundred major beginnings. And yet

793
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 4: on the other hand, we say, well, Matt McClay has

794
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 4: had a fantastic spring and he's back. So I mean,

795
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 4: think of the the Comparican trast. Last year, Matt McClain

796
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 4: was one of the worst hitters in baseball, and this

797
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 4: spring he's been the best hitter in baseball, and we're

798
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 4: convinced that it is good and he's back. And Rabbit

799
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 4: last year was an All Star during the regular season,

800
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 4: had his best major league season has been terrible in camp.

801
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: So which is it? Are we putting stock.

802
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 4: In in the regular season or spring training? And how

803
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 4: do how do we reconcile Matt being bad last year

804
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 4: in the regular season but really good in the springs,

805
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 4: so it matters, but Andrew being really bad in the

806
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 4: spring but good last year, so it doesn't matter. Listen

807
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 4: to what Marty told Tom yesterday, Tom Brennaman Mornings here

808
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 4: at five am to nine am on seven hundred WLW

809
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 4: about McClain and it segued into and rabbit take a listen.

810
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 13: I don't know that I've seen a better spring training

811
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 13: from anybody in all the years I've been associated with

812
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 13: a big league baseball I mean, bad at five or

813
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 13: something like that, hit seven home runs, played impeccably in

814
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 13: the field, And I.

815
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: Think you're right.

816
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 13: Some spring trainings mean a lot for a certain individuals.

817
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 13: Sometimes it's just a matter of getting in baseball shape,

818
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 13: and you know, working on things that you felt you

819
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 13: needed to improve upon, with no pressure as to whether

820
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 13: or not you're going to make the club. And then,

821
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 13: as you said, there was no pressure on him other

822
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 13: than to reinstill confidence. And I think there were times

823
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 13: last year when I watched him at the plate where

824
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 13: he lacked a lot of confidence and probably did not

825
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 13: enjoy going to hit because of the season long slump

826
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 13: that he's outed himself in.

827
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 11: I never gave up on that guy.

828
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 13: I told people last summer, I said, just wait, I said, he's.

829
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: Going to be fine.

830
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 13: We know I find interesting about spring training. Tom and

831
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 13: I talked to someone about this yesterday. In some cases,

832
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 13: Tracy Jones and I talked about it. You take Matt

833
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 13: McClay all of a sudden, that means something.

834
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 3: As far as the regular season.

835
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 13: Sure, Then you have Andrew Abbott, who did not get

836
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 13: anybody out to speak of, to exaggerate, to make a point.

837
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 13: He did not have a good outing in any of

838
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 13: the starts that he made in spring training, and now

839
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 13: here he is.

840
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: Going to be pitching on opening Day. I think there's

841
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 3: some people that have some concern.

842
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 13: I am included among that group, and.

843
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: So we'll see.

844
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 13: I think you actually you find yourself talking about from

845
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 13: both sides of your mouth when you talk about individuals

846
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 13: and those who did well in the spring out meaning something.

847
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 6: Those who didn't don't worry about it.

848
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 3: They'll be fine. Mm hmm.

849
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 4: See, well, what we were talking about Andrew Rabbit teams

850
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 4: are opponents hit three p fifty nine against him this spring,

851
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 4: three fifty nine batting average. I think it's clear. For

852
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 4: Matt McClain, spring training means everything, and for and Rabbit,

853
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 4: spring training means nothing. That's what I've decided. We had

854
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 4: to Fairfield. Hey, Mike, welcome to sports Talk.

855
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 2: Hey Lance, Hey, do you wait a minute?

856
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 4: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. This is the

857
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 4: mic in Fairfield. Yes, how the heck are you?

858
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 5: I'm okay, I'm okay, it is, but I'm okay.

859
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 4: It is tremendous to hear your voice. It has been

860
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 4: several years since I heard it.

861
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 5: It has been their reason for I'm not going to get.

862
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 2: Into that, Okay, Well, I'm I'm just glad to hear

863
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: your voice.

864
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 5: Well, I listened to your voice as much as possible,

865
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 5: but listen, I got it. You know what a U

866
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 5: see basketball fan?

867
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 2: I am, yes, you know that.

868
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 6: I when when.

869
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 5: West Miller was fired last week, whenever I the first

870
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 5: name that came to my mind was Jared Calhoun because

871
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 5: I knew of his situation and I thought John Cunningham

872
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 5: is going to go get him as soon as their

873
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 5: season at Utah.

874
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 3: State is over. I said, I know he will, and.

875
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 5: I think Calhoun will come back here and he has

876
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 5: and I am excited.

877
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 3: It is not right.

878
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 5: It doesn't feel right that the Bearcats have gone five

879
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 5: or six years in the row out of the NCAA tournament.

880
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 5: That's just not you see basketball. And I like Wes Miller.

881
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 5: I wish him well. It's Charlotte didn't take him long

882
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 5: to get another job, that's for sure. But offensively, they've

883
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 5: got to be better. And when you watch this Utah

884
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 5: State offense the way it was the last couple of

885
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 5: years with Calhoun, it is exciting. It's fun to watch.

886
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 5: They will get to the free throw line. I'm telling you,

887
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 5: you have to, Like Chad said, you have to in

888
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 5: this in these days, in modern basketball, you have to.

889
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 5: And Wes's team really didn't do that very well. That

890
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 5: this is They're going to be fun to watch. And

891
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 5: this guy's a winner and he'll bring big time winning

892
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 5: basketball back here finally, Will.

893
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 4: I can't you made my knight. It is so incredibly

894
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 4: cool to hear your voice. I'm so glad I get

895
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 4: to hear your voice. Please, whenever you get a chance,

896
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 4: no matter what, when, how many days in between?

897
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: I would love to hear from you again.

898
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 4: Know so many people have been asking about you, and

899
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 4: they're going to be excited to hear your voice. So

900
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 4: thank you for calling, thank you for listening, and let's

901
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 4: do this again.

902
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 5: All right, Hey, listen, and as I leave, the Reds

903
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 5: will be all right. I don't like the pitching injury thing,

904
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 5: of course, but I'm not worried about it. But and

905
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 5: I'm certainly not worried. I felt that Matt McClain will

906
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 5: not have this kind of a spring, but he is

907
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 5: going to be fine. He's a ballplayer and he's got

908
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 5: his confidence back. You watch the year he has.

909
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 2: Sounds good.

910
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 4: But thanks Mike, Okay, all right, take care. Holy cow,

911
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 4: my night has been made. You know how many times

912
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 4: I've wondered and how many people have asked me whatever

913
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 4: happened to Mike and Fairfield? We will roll on with

914
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,560

Speaker 4: thirty nine seven hundred WLWRNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by

919
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 4: Kelsey Chevrolet. Two days the Reds Opening Day. Two days

920
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 4: the Reds Opening Day. Jose Barrero were the number two.

921
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 4: At one time, he was the Reds top hitting prospect

922
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 4: in the organization. He's a career one point eighty two

923
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 4: major league hitter. I will always remember a grand Slam

924
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 4: he hit at Fenway Park against the Red Sox to

925
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 4: win a game for the Reds and uh Man. There

926
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 4: was so much hope and thoughts of promise for Jose

927
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 4: Barrero and he just never figured out major league hitting.

928
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 4: Nick Costianos were the number two. Alex Blandino, former Reds

929
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 4: first round pick in twenty fourteen, tried to make the

930
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 4: conversion to a knuckleball pitcher, and I've lost track of him.

931
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 4: It did not pan out. I don't think he's with

932
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 4: an organization this camp. Zach Cozart wore the number two.

933
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 4: He was an All Star and he got a goat

934
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 4: from Joey Vado, Orlando Cabrera, Alex Gonzalez, Felipe Lopez. We've

935
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 4: got a run on shortstops. We're in the number two.

936
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 4: Felipe Lopez had one of the most unexpected All Star

937
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 4: seasons of anywhere. I would say in my lifetime probably

938
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 4: the three most foremost unexpected all Star seasons would be

939
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 4: Jack Armstrong, Michael Lacasse, Alfredo Simon, and Felipe Lopez. Lopez

940
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 4: in his all Star season of five, hit twenty three homers,

941
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 4: drove in eighty five, stole fifteen bases, and hit two

942
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 4: ninety one. What and Gary Redis were the number two

943
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 4: fifteenth round pick of the Reds in nineteen seventy eight.

944
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 4: Still holds the record for the highest single season batting

945
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 4: average in Minor league baseball. He hit four sixty two

946
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 4: at Billings. His son recently named the women's basketball coach

947
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 4: at Rutgers two days until Red's opening day. I've got

948
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 4: a story that I've got bad news. I'll be you

949
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 4: the story and the fun story first. And this is

950
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 4: pretty this is really cool. A couple of weeks ago,

951
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 4: I got a call from a text call, no an email,

952
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 4: a four of communication from Ron Larkin of Ron's Roost,

953
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 4: and he asked me if I could get in touch

954
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 4: with Sean Casey, and he said he had Sewn's original

955
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 4: locker from Riverfront Stadium. He got it I would assume

956
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 4: during the demolition. I don't know if they auctioned pieces

957
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 4: off or if you could just come in and pick

958
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 4: out stuff some way. Somehow he got Sean Casey's original

959
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 4: locker from Riverfront Stadium and it has been in the

960
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 4: lobby of Ron's Roost for over twenty five years. And

961
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 4: he said, I just don't have room for it anymore.

962
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 4: And I was wondering if Sean might want it. Do

963
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 4: you have any way of getting in touch with you?

964
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 4: So I said Sean a text and I said, brother,

965
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 4: you won't believe this, and he responded, and I think

966
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 4: his response was, brother, I want that.

967
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: So I got him in touch with each other.

968
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 4: They talked, and it is being shipped to Sean this

969
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 4: week and we'll be displayed at one of his facilities

970
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh. Sean has what is the equivalent of the

971
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 4: Nutsau Miracle leagues there in Pittsburgh that he's operating.

972
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 2: And so I've seen that.

973
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 4: If you've ever been to Rod's Roost, you've seen the

974
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 4: locker and it's going back to Sean. That is just

975
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 4: that is really really cool. I'm glad. I'm glad they

976
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 4: were able to get it. It worked out because my initial

977
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 4: thought was, Okay, I'm sure he would want it, But

978
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 4: how the heck can I still don't know they've it

979
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 4: looks like in a photo I saw they've they've taken

980
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 4: it apart a little little bit to make it easier

981
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 4: for transportation, but it's still not going to be easy

982
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 4: and then they'll put it back together. But how I mean,

983
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 4: if you're Seawan, how cool is that to know you're

984
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 4: getting your original major le glocker with the Cincinnati Reds

985
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 4: from Riverfront?

986
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 2: Awesome?

987
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 6: All right?

988
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 2: Now the bad dudes.

989
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 4: Gordon Witmeyer, tweeting moments ago, Nicolodolo to the IL he

990
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 4: will start the season on the injured list with a blister.

991
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 4: Now this is not let's understand, let's take a deep breath.

992
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 4: This isn't Tommy John surgery. It's not a sore shoulder,

993
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 4: it's not a torn acl it's a blister. I don't

994
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 4: mean to diminish it from that standpoint. I'm just saying,

995
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 4: on the scale of what could go wrong, you'll take

996
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 4: a blister because chances are when he returns from the

997
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 4: injured list the fifteen day, I l he'll be fine.

998
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 4: I guess fine in terms of fine until the next

999
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 4: time the blister reoccurs, which is really odd and frustrating.

1000
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 4: But it could be worse, is what I'm saying. It's

1001
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 4: like the Hunter Green thing. It could be worse. He

1002
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 4: could have had damage to the UCL and having a

1003
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 4: second Timmy John surgery.

1004
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 2: Hunter's going to be back.

1005
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 4: Nickeolondola's going to be back much faster after a fifteen

1006
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 4: day stint on the IL. Here's the oh, here's the

1007
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 4: staggering thing. Hudder Green's going to start the year on

1008
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 4: the IL. Nickelodolo starts the year on the IL, and

1009
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 4: suddenly a reds plan that was to have three young

1010
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 4: arms like almost piggyback or follow each other in long

1011
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 4: relief rolls. All three are now thrust into the starting rotation.

1012
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 4: So it's Abbot Singer, Williamson, Burns Louder. I would think

1013
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 4: in that order to start the season. Well, the factor

1014
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 4: in off days, but Abbot Singer because Burns in Louder

1015
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 4: through today, so Williamson would be ahead of them. Then

1016
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 4: Burns in Louder And back to what I discussed with

1017
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 4: Chris Welsh earlier, that the the dicey thing is what

1018
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 4: you are asking of the young guys. Well, there's a

1019
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 4: couple of things. One, you're you're crossing your fingers and

1020
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 4: hoping that Andrew Rabbit is fine, okay, so, and Brady

1021
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 4: Singer is Brady Singer the most durable pitcher you had.

1022
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 4: Last year, he pitched, the blister was so insignificant. He

1023
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 4: pitched last night and he got his pitch count up,

1024
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 4: So that was good. But you were asking Burns and

1025
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 4: Louder and Williamson to enter your rotation, all coming off

1026
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,959
Speaker 4: a season that will leave them monitored for innings. This year,

1027
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 4: Ladder pitched nine and a third innings on rehab last

1028
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 4: year that was it. Williamson hasn't pitched in two years,

1029
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 4: Burns through what one hundred and nine innings. They're all

1030
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,439
Speaker 4: going to be managed in some way, shape or form

1031
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 4: and face imitations. And the depth behind them is Julian

1032
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 4: Aggie Are who's coming off with Tommy John surgery.

1033
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: Chase Petty who had his head kicked.

1034
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 4: In last year on the major league level and the

1035
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:24,439
Speaker 4: minor league level, and Jose Franco. I mean, that's that's

1036
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 4: basically it beyond your five right now. And I'm not

1037
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 4: when I say this, let me underline this I'm not

1038
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 4: saying they should have re signed Nick Martinez, but I

1039
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 4: felt all along they were going to miss the innings

1040
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 4: and the versatility of somebody like Nick Martinez.

1041
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 2: They do not think of it this way.

1042
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 4: They do not have anybody who is a major league

1043
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 4: pitcher who's thrown one hundred and hundred and fifty innings

1044
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 4: in a season, forget a season in their career at

1045
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 4: Triple A Louisville. Now, well, Doll will be back in

1046
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 4: fifteen days. But either way, you are throwing a lot

1047
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 4: on the shoulders of Williamson and Burns and Louder. And

1048
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 4: I go back to what Chris Welsh said during the spring.

1049
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 4: It is one thing to throw spring training innings. It

1050
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 4: is something entirely different to throw major leg innings. It's

1051
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 4: just different stress and everything else. And it's great that

1052
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 4: those guys Williamson and Burns and Louder pitched well in

1053
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 4: the spring. Well, it's now the major leagues for real,

1054
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:48,399
Speaker 4: starting on Thursday. And if you're doing a chirt, how

1055
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 4: many teams have their five right now? Then draw a

1056
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 4: line and have Julian Aggie are, Chase Petty and Jose

1057
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 4: Franco type pitcher as their next three options beyond that,

1058
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 4: because we all know you don't go through a major

1059
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 4: league season with five starting pitchers. You know, Hell, last

1060
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,879
Speaker 4: year the Reds went through what like fourteen I think

1061
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 4: over the last five years, I counted they use fifteen

1062
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 4: different starting pitchers. Man, And also, to Chris's point, you

1063
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 4: would wonder it. I don't know enough about pitching, but

1064
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 4: you would wonder why, if you've dealt with the blister

1065
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 4: for three years, why there hasn't been an more of

1066
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 4: an adjustment on the grip of Nickelodolo to avoid that.

1067
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 4: Dot Kremchek's going to join the show tomorrow night. I

1068
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 4: will not ask him specifically about Nickelodolo, but I will

1069
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,399
Speaker 4: ask him about blisters. And there seems to be it's

1070
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 4: not just a Reds thing. There seems to be a

1071
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 4: thing about blisters this year. It's like the theme of

1072
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 4: spring training. I'll ask him what's behind that? Perhaps coming up?

1073
00:53:56,440 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 4: All right, I've had plans for the last segments, and

1074
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 4: I've had no time to get to anything I really

1075
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 4: wanted to talk about in any of those segments.

1076
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 2: Let's do this.

1077
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 4: Let's take a time out and continue eight o'clock hour.

1078
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 4: I have a suggestion I'm going to present to you.

1079
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,919
Speaker 4: It's not my idea, it's from a listener. I happen

1080
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 4: to believe it's an incredible idea. I had to stop

1081
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 4: and think for a second. Wait a minute. They don't

1082
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 4: do that now, right? Have they ever done that before?

1083
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,640

00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 4: because of two players and three players, in particular the

1103

1112
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 4: at Milford High School. A freshman on the Marrion Knights team,

1113
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:09,560

Speaker 4: of the Year and named the NAIA to the All

1115
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:17,080

Speaker 4: the Year, and the Mary Knights go for a national

1119
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 4: championship tonight. All right, Tito is considering toying with and

1120
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 4: he's rolled it out a couple of times since mentioning it.

1121
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 4: Over the weekend. Sal Stewart batting cleanup. Listen to what

1122
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 4: he said with Tommy Thraw about the idea behind trying it.

1123
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:43,919
Speaker 2: Take a listen.

1124
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 12: One, By doing it, we break up some of the strikeouts.

1125
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 12: We have a guy I think that can follow Ellie

1126
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 12: on the basis probably better, which is going to create

1127
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 12: more RBI opportunities. And just simply the other one is

1128
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 12: Gino's a little behind because of the WBC. You know,

1129
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 12: Sal's got fifty six at bats and you know he

1130
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 12: looks and I just and again that's why when you

1131
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 12: have good teammates that the guys don't care. They're like, okay, whatever,

1132
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 12: I'll do whatever you want.

1133
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 2: What does that say about Sal that you have that

1134
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 2: much confidence to even consider that.

1135
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 12: I think he's a really good hitter and I believe that,

1136
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,959
Speaker 12: and if I because I'll never try to throw stuff

1137
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 12: against the wall. I don't believe in that, especially when

1138
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 12: you're talking with some veteran players. But I think Sal's

1139
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 12: that kind of hitter.

1140
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 2: Think about what he just said.

1141
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 4: Sal Stewart has fifty eight regular season at bats in

1142
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 4: the major leagues, fifty eight trips to the plate. He's

1143
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 4: twenty two years old, and Tito's talking in those glowing terms,

1144
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 4: not just about what Sal's doing, about his confidence in

1145
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 4: Sal being moved into the cleanup spot. I asked Charlie

1146
00:57:55,320 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 4: Goldsmith last night, Charlie Chalkboard, what that reveals about Sally Stewart.

1147
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 2: Take a listen. This is a huge deal.

1148
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 14: Carry francona Is has hands on with his lineup as

1149
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 14: any manager in baseball, and he's as he's used the

1150
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 14: word stubborn. Kind of joke and leave it. I'll use

1151
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 14: the word patient with his lineup as anyone in baseball.

1152
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 2: When he makes a decision, he's telling you something.

1153
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 3: And when he.

1154
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 14: Puts a rookie for him, the first rookie since Scott

1155
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 14: Rowland in nineteen ninety seven, in his lineup, when you

1156
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 14: look at his entire managerial when he puts a rookie

1157
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 14: in front of a Hujenho Suarez. I don't know that

1158
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 14: Tito could speak any more loudly about how confident he

1159
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 14: is in Sol. I think he, you know, behind Ellie.

1160
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 14: I think Sal is going to be the story of

1161
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 14: the season. And it was a blast, especially during the

1162
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 14: last three weeks of spring. Just the way he was

1163
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 14: playing those games was a thrill to watch, to watch compete.

1164
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 14: All of that put together, I think in a lot

1165
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 14: of ways, Sal's turning the volume up from the player

1166
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 14: who was.

1167
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 3: A year ago.

1168
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 4: Good stuff from Charlie last Night podcast at seven hundred

1169
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 4: WLW dot com and through the iHeart so in theory,

1170
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 4: on a normal day without a left handed pitcher, Freedom

1171
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 4: leads off McLean bat's second LA and the three spot

1172
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 4: Sal and the cleanup spot Auenio Suarez five, and then

1173
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 4: slot in Stuart Marte, Stevenson Hayes. Maybe in that order,

1174
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 4: maybe not.

1175
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 15: Now.

1176
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 4: I wonder an opening day Garrett Crochet is a lefty.

1177
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if Dame Meyer starts over TJ

1178
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 4: Friedel on opening Day.

1179
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 2: But we'll see.

1180
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 4: I mean that lineup with South Stuart batting cleanup for

1181
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 4: this team at the age of twenty two, at his

1182
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 4: first full major league season. All right, when we come back,

1183
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 4: an idea, I'm an idea guy. It's not my idea,

1184
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 4: but I love the idea of what the Reds could

1185
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 4: do to add to the experience at Great American Ballpark.

1186
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 4: I'll offer it to you as we continue after news

1187
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 4: on seven hundred WLW.

01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 4: to sort through in this hour. How about this note

1198
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 4: from Charlie Clifford News five. He was out at the

1199
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 4: airport when Jared Calhoun landed and talked with him. He's

1200
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 4: Jered Calhoun tells Charlie that Mick Cronin, he spoke with

1201

Speaker 2: Big Day tomorrow.

1206
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 4: All right, I want to present something, and I'm curious

1207
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 4: of your reaction to it. I love when people send

1208
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 4: me emails, ideas, suggestions, topics for the show Lance at

1209
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 4: lancepacalister dot com. Love it when you tweet them at

1210
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 4: me as well at Lance bacalister on Twitter. I've been

1211
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 4: thinking about this and I really like this, so I'm

1212
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 4: gonna read what listener Michael sent to me over the weekend.

1213
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,439
Speaker 4: He wrote, Lance, Ever since the Reds relocated to Great

1214
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 4: American Ballpark, I've noticed something intriguing. They have an incredible

1215
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 4: view of the Ohio River boat parked in the outfield

1216
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,959
Speaker 4: for everyone to admire, and our city has a rich

1217
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 4: history of steamboats. I appreciate these aspects and enjoy them. However,

1218
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 4: I can't help but wonder if there's a way to

1219
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 4: incorporate the spirit of steamboats into red celebrations. Imagine the

1220
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 4: excitement if whenever a home run is hit, the stadium

1221
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 4: erupts in the sound of a grand steamboat horn being blasted,

1222
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 4: accompanied by the fireworks that light up the sky. He wrote,

1223
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 4: it would be unique and memorable. The jumbo tron screens

1224
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 4: could even display people in the stands making the steamboat

1225
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 4: horn pulling motion reminiscent of the arms our motion we

1226
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 4: used to do as kids to truckers. The entire stadium

1227
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,439
Speaker 4: could join in to create an electrifying atmosphere. It could

1228
01:02:56,520 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 4: even become our version of the tomahawk chop in atlant Now,

1229
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 4: this this is an idea. This is an idea I

1230
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 4: could work with. I will admit when I got in

1231
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 4: reading the email, I had to stop and I thought, well,

1232
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 4: wait a minute.

1233
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 2: They don't do that, now, do they?

1234
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 4: Because I know when you're at the ballpark so much,

1235
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 4: and I know it's things kind of tend to blend

1236
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 4: and run together and you don't maybe notice them as much.

1237
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, do they all do they do?

1238
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 3: They?

1239
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 4: They do the fireworks? Is there any other kind of

1240
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 4: sound or horn? I guess there's none. I said, have

1241
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 4: they ever done that in the history of great American ball?

1242
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 4: I said, I don't remember if they did it at

1243
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 4: any point, but I'm willing to try anything.

1244
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 2: Drew, give me an.

1245
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 4: Ellie home run earlier today, and let's add in the

1246
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 4: horn from.

1247
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 2: A steamboat to one pitch.

1248
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 4: Ellie sends a fly ball well head deep, right freelch,

1249
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 4: going back on the track, turns, looks it's gone.

1250
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 2: An opposite field, right handed home run for Elie.

1251
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 10: De la Cruise that gets the reds on the board

1252
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 10: two to one.

1253
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 4: I'm in on this. I'm in on this for the

1254
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 4: ballpark experience. Imagine how cool it would be. And imagine,

1255
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 4: as he alludes to, everybody stated, the anticipation.

1256
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 2: Of it is gone.

1257
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 4: And then you could have a like a chain up

1258
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 4: on the riverboat deck. You could have a chain and

1259
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 4: you know they have the gatherings up there. You could

1260
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,439
Speaker 4: have somebody in charge. You know in Milwaukee they have

1261
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 4: Benny the what's his name? Who is it to go

1262
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 4: sliding down the thing on the home run slide. You

1263
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 4: could have somebody either on the deck or come running

1264
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 4: up and run to that bell and and and.

1265
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 2: Pull the chain, pull it down.

1266
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 4: As everybody stands and they're looking out there.

1267
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 2: They're doing the armboat.

1268
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 4: Like you weren't a kid in the back of your

1269
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 4: car when you looked at the car window to a

1270
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 4: trucker and the trucker would come by sixteen wheel, eighteen

1271
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 4: wheel or how many wheels? And hey do the arm

1272
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 4: thing in the truck? Or look at you laughing?

1273
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 7: You go.

1274
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 2: Can you imagine twenty seven.

1275
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 4: Thousand with averagelast year run around to twenty seven thousand

1276
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 4: reds fans?

1277
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 2: Is the ball clears standing and doing that.

1278
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 4: Let's go fired up, give us the steamboat horn.

1279
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 2: Michael, I love this idea.

1280
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 4: I want to open up the lines five one, three, seven, four, nine,

1281
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 4: seven one, eight hundred the big win, he adds, and

1282
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 4: Lance the best part. It would be an inexpensive addition

1283
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 4: which the Castelinies would undoubtedly appreciate. What do we think here?

1284
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:56,919
Speaker 4: Anybody thumbs up, thumbs down? I just think it would

1285
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 4: be it'd be a cool tradition to start this many

1286
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 4: years into the ballpark. It would incorporate all of your fans.

1287
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 4: It would add an anticipation and imagine the scene as

1288
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 4: that the camera is panned through the crowd of everybody

1289
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 4: standing in little kids standing and they're doing the.

1290
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 2: Arm motion, do it, do the steamboat horn.

1291
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 4: And if it's a party going on up there on

1292
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 4: the on the deck, then you tell somebody at your

1293
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 4: party that night and we're gonna need somebody pull that pull.

1294
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 2: Yank the chain. You you could even do.

1295
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 4: I guess you could even do like a guest or

1296
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 4: celebrity chain yankors who I guess they'd have to sit

1297
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 4: up there and maybe there wouldn't be a home run

1298
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 4: at that night. But you could put the spotlight on somebody,

1299
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 4: kind of like the the Bengals do with the the

1300
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 4: pregame ring of honor thing, or the the FC Cincinnati

1301
01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 4: does with the sword. This could be the person in

1302
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 4: it urge that night, ladies and gentlemen, tonight, celebrity chain

1303
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 4: puller is and he put the spotlight audio out there

1304
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 4: on a chair and just waiting for a home run.

1305
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 4: I mean it would last for thirty seconds, harmless. It

1306
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 4: would incorporate your fans getting involved in it and waiting

1307
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 4: for it. This is where I always would say, what's

1308
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 4: the downside? Now when we come back. I reached out

1309
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:32,439
Speaker 4: to the Reds and I said, wait, have you guys

1310
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 4: ever done something like this. I'm trying to remember. I'm

1311
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,439
Speaker 4: getting old. Was there ever any attempt to do some

1312
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 4: type of steamboat horn to celebrate a home run and

1313
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 4: get the fans involved? I'll tell you what I found

1314
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 4: from a dozen years ago. Then I'll tell you what

1315
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 4: my guy Ben Bernstein from B and B Riverboats added

1334
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,959
Speaker 4: the incredible view of the Ohio River and a riverboat

1335
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 4: parked in the outfield, and the rich history of steamboats

1336
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 4: in the city. What about adding a steamboat horn after

1337
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 4: each Red's home run in celebration of that, with the

1338
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:08,679
Speaker 4: stadium standing as one and doing the you know, pulling

1339
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 4: down on the chain, play the horn, Hint the horn,

1340
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 4: and people would go crazy as the Reds batter basis.

1341
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:18,960

Speaker 4: hockey they sound a horn when a goal is scored.

1352

Speaker 4: the fans really juiced up and into it.

1354

1370
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,519

Speaker 16: old Reds fan, older generation absolutely loves it. I love it.

1373
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 16: If you think about it, like the Florida Gators have

1374
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 16: a chop, Yeah, then you got like the towels. Every

1375
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 16: everything everybody does is ludicrous. Anyway, I say, go all in.

1376
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 16: Everyone's going to be on board. I just think people

1377
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 16: need to keep talking about it.

1378
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 3: And the Reds uh.

1379
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 11: Yes, and interaction.

1380
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 16: Staff can can can?

1381
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 3: They need to sniff this out and get on this.

1382
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 4: And Robert, I love the initial point from Michael that

1383
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:02,520
Speaker 4: it plays to the history of the city and steamboats

1384
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 4: and there's a riverboat out there already is just it's

1385
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 4: a perfect, perfect combination of respect for the city's history

1386
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 4: and tradition, fun for family and kids, and a celebration sound.

1387
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 4: Something as simple as just a sound and you hit

1388
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 4: it three times as you're circling the bases in a

1389
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,480
Speaker 4: twenty second home run trot, and people would go bonkers

1390
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 4: over it.

1391
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 6: I got one more layer to add.

1392
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 16: I think it would be so cool if a player

1393
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 16: gets a big home run and he puts that arm

1394
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 16: up like he's pulling that sheet in or pulling that horn,

1395
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 16: and the fans are all in unison. I don't even

1396
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 16: know how you coordinate that, but just imagine how cool

1397
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 16: that would be. I just think Cincinnati kind of has Simpson,

1398
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 16: any kind of has like an I like, we always

1399
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 16: talk about identity, and I just think, let's just look,

1400
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 16: nothing's going to happen unless you try something. So I

1401
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 16: think one hundred percent. I'll hang up and let you

1402
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 16: talk to other callers.

1403
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 4: Robert, thank you. I can you imagine this? Can you

1404
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 4: imagine Ellie hitting a home run? I mean a colossal

1405
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 4: Titanic blast, he drops the bat, he turns the dugout

1406
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,680
Speaker 4: and you know what he does. He starts pulling the

1407
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 4: chade play the horn before he starts his home run

1408
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 4: Drin the players could request it, you'd have Ellie turning

1409
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 4: the dugout.

1410
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 2: What do you think, guys, it's.

1411
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 4: Time and Ellie's doing the horn and it's sounding as

1412
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 4: he starts to circle the bases.

1413
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 2: Oh.

1414
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 4: Now, I will say for the record, there was there

1415
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 4: was a story written in the Inquirer back in twenty fourteen.

1416
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 4: And I don't remember this a dozen years ago, but

1417
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 4: the Ridge at one point, do you remember when they

1418
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 4: added the calliope? They added a calliope, which is you know,

1419
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 4: associated with steamboats and circuses and stuff like that. This

1420
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 4: was no Actually this was two thousand and seven, so

1421
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 4: this was much earlier in their history. And they installed

1422
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 4: it on the riverboat deck up there, and the team

1423
01:12:55,640 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 4: would play that the calliope music. But they stopped because

1424
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 4: it was determined that the high volume was affecting the

1425
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 4: experience of the fans on the riverboat deck. Okay, so

1426
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,480
Speaker 4: I could understand that I'm not asking for a calliope,

1427
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 4: I'm just asking for a horn. Three times as somebody

1428
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 4: circles the bases in what's the average home run trot

1429
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 4: fifteen seconds twenty seconds, three times in twenty seconds with

1430
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 4: everybody going ball. And it wouldn't have to the sound

1431
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 4: wouldn't have to emanate from just the deck where there

1432
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 4: might be a crowd of people gathered. Do it over

1433
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 4: the PA throughout the stadium so it can be heard

1434
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 4: in like surround sound. And Ben Bernstein, my guy from

1435
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 4: BnB Riverboats, he saw the post about this that I

1436
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 4: put on my Facebook page. Lance MacAllister Sports Talk, and

1437
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 4: he commented and he said, Lance, one, a calliope and

1438
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 4: a steam whistle are two completely different experiences. He said,

1439
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:54,879
Speaker 4: a calliope is an almost out of tune musical instrument,

1440
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 4: where a whistle would signify a major event in the game.

1441
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 4: And he said, at BnB Riverboat we actually advised the

1442
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 4: Reds when they installed the riverboat deck. So he speaks

1443
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 4: of the experience of what a riverboat sound would do.

1444
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 4: I again, I apply what I always say, what would

1445
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 4: be the downside doesn't cost anything. Drew wester Heidi in

1446
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 4: the time he got to the station, found that sound

1447
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 4: effect in the system and allowed us to execute it

1448
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 4: fun for family and friends and kids. I could see

1449
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 4: everybody in the dugout jumping. I mean, this was once

1450
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 4: a team that had a like a cape in a

1451
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:36,839
Speaker 4: what do they have a cape in a not a sword?

1452
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 2: The crown.

1453
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 4: They put the crown on and the cape on, and

1454
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 4: they did all that stuff. I could see the entire

1455
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 4: dugout at the at the railing. When the home runs hit,

1456
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 4: everybody starts doing the thing with the arm motion, like

1457
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 4: to the semi truck play the hord.

1458
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 2: You can hear Tommy thrawl like pausing that ball is God.

1459
01:14:57,760 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 2: And then you hear the.

1460
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 4: Cowboys say the horn right down Broadway. Oh, I'm breaking

1461
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 4: into a sweat. I love this idea. It's gonna check

1508
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 3: Okay? So hey Lance, a longtime listener, first time calling.

1509
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 17: First of all, I love the idea and I'm going

1510
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 17: to suggest a variation on it.

1511
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1512
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 17: So let's say that it's a solo shot, right, so

1513
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,719
Speaker 17: when the home runs hit, everybody does the the boat

1514
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 17: whistle very long, Bob, follow the fireworks, yes, exactly, followed

1515
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 17: by the fireworks going off. If it's a two run shot,

1516
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 17: been a shorter one by a longer one. So if

1517
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 17: it's a grand slams, the crowd goes.

1518
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 4: Insane, yes, yes, oh, it would be so much fun.

Speaker 2: It would be so much fun.

1520
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 4: And don't I I refuse to believe the players wouldn't

1521

01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 18: Though, Yes, yacht Rock Night has been really good. It

1550
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 18: would really be topped off with like yacht boat noises.

1551
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 11: And I have that yacht rock hat that Terry Fraantono

01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:51,800
Speaker 2: When Ellie hits the whole run the whole Reds dug out.

1557
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:52,599

1560
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 9: Hey Lance, I'll tell you what. You always have to

1561
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:06,680
Speaker 9: bring money into it so we can get a sponsor

1562
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,760
Speaker 9: from our own Montgomery and boat House. Oh what can

1563
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 9: happen is the Reds can announce. I can't speak like

1564
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 9: the guys does or a good voice like you, but

1565
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 9: I could hear it. Tonight's honorary Montgomery in boat House,

1566
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:22,719
Speaker 9: Captain last McCallister, and then last.

1567
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 3: The calistore where he'll be ringing the horn.

1568
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,679
Speaker 9: And then after that he gets twenty five dollars gift

1569
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 9: to the Montgomery and Boat.

1570
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I like this idea of it. More free ribs

1571
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 2: for me?

1572
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 17: Yes, yes, sir, you got to bring them in.

1573
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 2: You know what I mean that? That is awesome. Tom,

1574
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 2: you're the man. Have a great night.

1575
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 3: Thank you, bro.

1576
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:41,640
Speaker 2: All right, thank you?

1577
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 3: I like that.

1578
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 4: And you could you could sell packages sponsorship now we're talking,

1579
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 4: because now if you're the Reds, you're at the dollar

1580
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 4: signs are spinning in your eyes, you could sell sponsorship

1581
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 4: to it. Maybe the Montgomery in buys it for the

1582
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 4: first quarter of the season, then B and B river

1583
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 4: Boats is the sponsor for the next quarter of the season.

1584
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 4: Then it'll be a thing everybody has to be involved in,

1585
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:05,879
Speaker 4: and you'll you'll look for the next wave of revenue

1586
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 4: coming in to be the sponsors of all of it.

1587
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 4: I I guess my question went when I saw it.

1588
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 4: It was such a good idea. When Michael sent it

1589
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 4: to me, my first ib was, are we sure they

1590
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 4: don't do that already? And I sat in my office

1591
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,600
Speaker 4: on Saturday morning, drinking my first cup of coffee, and

1592
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 4: I'm trying to like close my eyes and remember what

1593
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 4: a home run sounded like, and I said, I know

1594
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 4: they do the fireworks, I said, but I don't remember.

1595
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 4: All the games just go together. Is there a separate

1596
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 4: sound of anything that would fit this? There isn't, and

1597
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:41,679
Speaker 4: there should be. Michael, if you're listening, you were onto

1598
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 4: something and I will not let this go hashtag steamboat

01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:32,360

1668
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 4: to two on the season. It happened on this date

1669
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:53,679
Speaker 4: in the Cincinnati sports history nineteen seventy two. On this date,

1670
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:59,640
Speaker 4: the Cincinnati Royals play their final home game before eventually

1671
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 4: moving to Kansas City. This date, nineteen seventy two, at

1672
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:09,559
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Gardens, the Royals beat the Baltimore Bullets one thirty

1673
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 4: two to one fourteen, the final home game after fifteen

1674
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 4: years of Royals basketball in Cincinnati. Tiny Archibald had thirty eight,

1675
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 4: Sam Lacy twenty four, John Mengeld twenty two. There were

1676
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 4: four thy twenty two fans on hand for the sendoff game.

1677
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:32,400
Speaker 4: That was a Baltimore Bullets team with the likes of West, Unseld,

1678
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 4: Phil Schneer and others. Every year I think about this,

1679
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 4: and I wasn't old enough to remember and appreciate the Royals,

1680
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 4: but to think on a given night, Bill Russell was

1681
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 4: in town, or Pete Maravich or Clyde the Glide Fraser,

1682
01:26:55,360 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 4: or Willis Reid or Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Kareem Wilt,

1683
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 4: just on and on. It just oh, I can't imagine

1684
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 4: how cool that must have been their final year. Let's see,

1685
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 4: the NBA averaged over eight thousand fans per game and

1686
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:25,719
Speaker 4: the Royals averaged about just over thirty six hundred. Of course,

1687
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 4: at that point in that season, it was well known

1688
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:31,680
Speaker 4: that they were leaving, and Bob Coosey brought in to

1689
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 4: terry part the franchise and the owners wanted out, and

1690
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 4: they were leaving and packing up, and it just it

1691
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 4: was just kind of sad at that point. And this

1692
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 4: was the final home game in the history of the

1693
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 4: NBA in the city of Cincinnati. This day two thousand
