Yes, hey, there's a reason I'm wearing this. 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: So I was em seeing an event on Saturday night 19 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 3: at Saint Rita's. What a wonderful event it was, What 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 3: a wonderful cause raised a lot of money for a 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 3: great cause. That night, I had three people come up 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 3: to me and stop me and say, hey man, I 23 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: love your work. And I was so proud. I was 24 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 3: so excited that people would come up and say, hey man, 25 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: I love your work. And each of those folks were 26 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 3: referring to my weekly segment on sincey three sixty. I said, 27 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 3: you know, I do work in television sometimes. And then 28 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: last night at the ballpark, right before I ran it 29 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 3: to Tony and his beautiful bride, a nice gentleman came 30 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 3: up and said, I love your work with Austin and 31 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: Tony every single week. So I said, now listen tomorrow 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: when I go on the show. I'm wearing a Fox 33 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: nineteen shirt to remind everybody that I still do work 34 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 3: in TV. Sometimes you do have a day just on 35 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 3: the radio. But yeat, sir, Yes. 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: And I was just telling you off the air, I've 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: gotten a lot of yeat lately, and you guys are 38 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: infiltrating my brain to the point where I'm starting to 39 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: say it like just walking through the house, Like there's 40 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: a few things I'll say when I'm like walking through 41 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 2: my apartment. One of them for years was the first 42 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: baseman Joey. I just said that constantly doing some form 43 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: of jose Air Hewson and now it's yeat. 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 3: Okay. So one of my hidden talents is I do 45 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 3: a great Joe's are Hugh Really, I don't know. It's 46 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: because we're both Cubcat guys, or because I can somehow 47 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 3: drop my voice and to Josier Houston's voice the first 48 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 3: base man, Joey Botto. 49 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: Is this your confession that you're the talk back joseir Heuson? 50 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: No, I don't have to talk back something else that 51 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: only you And yeah. 52 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: We'll keep that secret. That's fine. 53 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: It's been a minute for that one too. 54 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, we need you to return, all right, the Reds 55 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: are back. What what what was your big takeaway from 56 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: the weekend obviously yesterday? Like, have we learned anything about 57 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: this team over the first four games? 58 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 3: Well, four games, Austin, that's a data point, right, I 59 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 3: mean we're talking one point sixty two. We all know that, 60 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 3: but four games is a data point for us to 61 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 3: look at with this team. And I think my biggest 62 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: takeaway is I'm not surprised by anything that I think 63 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: if you would rewind the tape to a couple of 64 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: days before opening day, we would say what we're excited about, 65 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 3: we would say what we're concerned about. And I think 66 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 3: everything is kind of slotted in exactly to where we 67 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: thought this would be. That we should be excited about 68 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 3: a starting rotation that was seven people deep, that could 69 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: survive not having Hunter Green and Nick Lodolo for the 70 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: first week and a half and then the first full 71 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: half of a season, perhaps without Hunter Green, that these 72 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: guys were ready to step in and help carry this 73 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: team with a combined two point two five ERA through 74 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: four games. Now, I'm curious to see what Brandon Williamson 75 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: looks like tonight. They are testing the absolute max of 76 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: the depth of the starting rotation. But if you went 77 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: back before opening day would say you have confidence in 78 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 3: this starting rotation. You would also say you worry a 79 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: little bit about the upside of the bullpen. And I 80 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 3: think we're still there. I think there are guys who 81 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: have shown, hey, maybe there's a next level to their game. 82 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 3: Your friend and favorite Graham Ashcraft formed well last night, 83 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: like Connor Phillips and what he's given them right now, Look, 84 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 3: there are some concerns about right Tony Santion's vlo right now, 85 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 3: is Amelia Pagan really a ninth inning guy that you 86 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: can count on for two straight years? And questions that 87 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 3: will get sorted out over the big one sixty two. 88 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 3: But another part of this was, Okay, we thought this 89 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 3: would be a solid bullpen, maybe lacking a lead upside, 90 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: and I think we're there. And then an offense that 91 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 3: I think we're going to see needs to be carried 92 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: by one or two guys over multiple week stretches, and 93 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 3: I think that's going to be the case throughout the year. 94 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: If you look at the Red stats right now, they're 95 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: hitting below two hundred as a team, they're bottom five 96 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 3: and run scored. You could say, listen, they've faced Garrett Crochet, 97 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: Sonny Gray Connolly early and Brax and Ashcraft about to 98 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: face Paul Skins tomorrow, so there's reason to understand that 99 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 3: they're not hitting the ball one through nine. But we 100 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: had concerns about the bottom three in the reds order, 101 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 3: and those concerns are confirmed so far through four games. 102 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: But we also thought there were guys on this team 103 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: that could carry this offense, and we're seeing one guy 104 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: do it right now in salth Stewart, and we'll see 105 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 3: at points during the year it'll be Elie de la 106 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 3: Cruz and at points during the year it'll be Aohdio Suarez. 107 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: And if those guys, if they now have more of 108 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: those guys that can do that, you're going to see 109 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: an offense that we thought could be carried by specific 110 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: players do that throughout the year. So four games in 111 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 3: three and one, with the talking points we had before 112 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 3: the season, I think so far four games in Austin, 113 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: I think those talking points are at least somewhat confirmed. 114 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: As going forward. 115 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: You just mentioned that the fact that for some weeks 116 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 2: it's going to be Elie, sometimes it's going to be 117 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: McClain sometimes Stuart. Like that, I think is their strength 118 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: right now is that they do have depth. They have 119 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: multiple guys that they can lean on and like on 120 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 2: Sunday when they need a dude to hit a three 121 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: run homer, they now have that threat in au Hainio 122 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: Suarez in the lineup that they just haven't had as 123 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: much in the past. I think the thing that I've noticed, Yeah, 124 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: they're not hitting very well under two hundred, as you mentioned, 125 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: but they've walked a pretty decent amount they're getting on 126 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 2: base at an okay clip. It feels like they're putting 127 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: together good at bats. It feels like there's not a 128 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: lot of non competitive at bats now. Early on they 129 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 2: were Their plan was to be aggressive against Garrett Crochet 130 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 2: on opening Day and it didn't work. But since then, 131 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like they're putting together good at bats. 132 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: He It's a really good point, Austin, because you can 133 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 3: dive into the numbers, and I'm not sure what the 134 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: numbers would tell you as opposed to their approach and 135 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: what it looks like this year, maybe what it looked 136 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 3: like this time last year, But more importantly, it feels different. 137 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: And I think you make a good point on that 138 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 3: that it does feel different the way this team is 139 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: approaching there at bats this season to start twenty twenty six. 140 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: And I also go back to the idea again of 141 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 3: rewinding before the season started and we were all trying 142 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: to guess a number of what this team might win 143 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 3: and what it looks like compared to maybe what Vegas 144 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: is saying about this team and what seventy nine wins, 145 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: eighty wins. This team won eighty three games last year, 146 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: and at this point last year You couldn't drop South 147 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 3: Stewart in the Reds lineup. You couldn't drop Aohenniosuarez in 148 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: this lineup. You couldn't drop Matt McClain being productive into 149 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 3: this lineup. Now you add those three guys that we 150 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 3: all expect to be very productive for the Reds this year. Again, 151 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: I go back to understanding. I don't understand how anybody 152 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 3: can't think this team is better than they were last 153 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 3: year and that team won eighty three games, and how 154 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: the ceiling shouldn't be higher this year for the Reds 155 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: to get up to an eighty seven win season, an 156 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: eighty eight win season, maybe even push a ninety win season, 157 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 3: even without Hunter Green for the first half of the season. 158 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 3: So I look at this team where they were last 159 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: year as opposed to they are now this year, and 160 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 3: dropping in that length of the lineup. Now you can 161 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 3: talk about the bottom of the lineup, and right now 162 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 3: it's concerning. And when I talk about Noel v Marte Key, 163 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 3: Brian Hayes, the catcher position and those those four players, 164 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 3: when you include Stevenson Intraveno, they're oh for twenty nine, yeah, 165 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: oh for twenty nine and four games. Obviously that won't continue, 166 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: but it's still to me is a concern for this team. 167 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 3: Will they get it figured out in right field? Will 168 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 3: the catcher position hit at a level that we expect? 169 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 3: And can Key Brian Hayes hit at a level that 170 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 3: you keep his glove in the lineup they're going to 171 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: It's gonna take something to get him out of the 172 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 3: lineup that we wouldn't foresee because of the investment they've 173 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 3: made in Key Brian Hayes. But you've talked about it 174 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 3: on this show, and I think it's probably the best 175 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: talking point of any for this team through four games, 176 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: is what are they doing with Noel v Marte and 177 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: what are they doing with the right field position as 178 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: a whole going forward? Because I'm on this stance that 179 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: I I want to see more from Noelvie Marte before 180 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 3: I make him just a straight platoon guy. I agree, 181 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 3: And it's odd making him a platoon guy because of 182 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 3: it's been talked about so much his reverse splits that 183 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 3: he just doesn't hit left handers as well as he 184 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 3: hits right handers. But I think his upside of what 185 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 3: he gives them at the plate is someone that I 186 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 3: want to see in the lineup more often than not, 187 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 3: and more than just a platoon guy. 188 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: I don't know, because I'm not there every day. I 189 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: don't know these people, but I just keep getting the 190 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 2: feeling that there is a constant having to light a 191 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: fire under the ass of Nouelvie Marte like every day 192 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 2: to try to get him to That's just the feeling 193 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: that I get. That might be inaccurate, but it feels 194 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: like there's a lot of like hands on that has 195 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 2: to happen to get the most out of Noelvie Marte. 196 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: Does that make sense? 197 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 3: It does, and it goes back to what Charlie talked 198 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: about at Spring Trading when the Reds brought him in 199 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: and said it's not good enough. The effort isn't there, 200 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 3: And I do wonder if it's a hard thing sometimes 201 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: when a guy's position is ch changed and you expect 202 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 3: to be this part of the team. But you think 203 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 3: about anybody at whatever job they're doing right, and you 204 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 3: come in with with a certain set of skills and 205 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 3: a certain expectations of how you're going to add value 206 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 3: to whatever employer you're going to have. You know, in 207 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 3: two thousand and nine, Austin, I was a sports producer 208 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 3: sometimes sports reporter a Channel nineteen, the recession hit and 209 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 3: they moved me into news and said you're going to 210 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: be a news reporter. And I hated it, right, but 211 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 3: I you know, I had a young child at home. 212 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,599 Speaker 3: I was twenty nine years old, and I knew I 213 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: had to get a paycheck. So I sucked it up 214 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 3: and I did it, but I wasn't at my best. 215 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 3: I gave my best, but I knew it wasn't my best. 216 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 3: And you know, you sometimes wonder when a guy has 217 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 3: an expectation of what they bring to whatever job it is, 218 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: and that has changed, you hope they can approach it 219 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 3: with the same kind of mental stamina, mental energy it 220 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 3: takes to do the job at a high level. And 221 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 3: you know, Noelbe talked to us at spring training about 222 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 3: how he thought the move would be good for him, 223 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 3: how it unlocked him to put him in the outfield because, 224 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 3: for lack of a better word, he had a bit 225 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: of a case and the yep's playing third base, and 226 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 3: that he thought his arm might be playing better in 227 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 3: the outfield, using that strong arm to throw guys out. 228 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 3: And we saw a little bit of that last year. 229 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 3: So it's interesting to me. Sometimes when there's a position 230 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,119 Speaker 3: change that it can affect a way a guy performs. 231 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 3: But in this case, noelvie Marte said he thought it 232 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 3: would help him. And it's not just four games because 233 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 3: we can pick out the sample size and oh, look, 234 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: it's just four games. He's over six and four games. 235 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 3: But this goes back to spring training and not having 236 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 3: a great spring, So it's not just four games. It's 237 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: four games plus the month plus out in spring training, 238 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: which wasn't good enough for him. In that Terry Francona 239 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: had to pull him aside and tell him, now, listen, 240 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 3: it's time to get it going. But again, I still 241 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: want to see more of an opportunity for noelvie Marte 242 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: before I pulled the plug on him as the everyday 243 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 3: right fielder for the Reds. 244 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 2: And on the opposite, complete opposite end of that spectrum 245 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: is South Stewart, who is a self starter, which is 246 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: complete energy like he is to me like the epitome 247 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 2: of what this team can be when they're firing on 248 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 2: all cylinders. And Francona has been proven right by putting 249 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: him in that cleanup spot repeatedly through the first four 250 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: games that Suarez and others are getting up there with 251 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: RBI opportunities. Even so last night with Spencer Steer driving 252 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: one in on a sack fly, how important is not 253 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 2: only the production of salth Stewart, but the personality of 254 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: south Stewart to this team. 255 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, love the energy. Talk to him about it yesterday. 256 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: That's just who he is, what he brings. And you know, 257 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 3: I talked to multiple guys inside the clubhouse yesterday and look, 258 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 3: sometimes when you drop a twenty one year old right 259 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 3: there into a four spot, which everybody kind of assumed 260 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 3: would be Auhdio Suarez, I'm not sure if it raises 261 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 3: eyebrows or guy look at the side of their eyes 262 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 3: at him, like, wait a minute, why is he getting 263 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 3: the glamour spot in the lineup? All he's done is 264 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 3: proven he deserves it, He's earned it, and the energy 265 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 3: is real and everything he has said has backed it 266 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 3: up on the field. And I go back to the 267 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: conversation I had with him at Red spring training when 268 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 3: I asked him, you know, what did he learn about 269 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 3: himself in the first year? You know, the cup of 270 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 3: coffee he had September in the playoffs against the Dodgers, 271 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: and it wasn't anything along the lines of, you know, 272 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 3: I knew now I can hit major league pitching, or 273 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 3: I knew I could now fit inside of a big 274 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 3: league clubhouse. To him, it was I learned that in 275 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: a pressure environment like the playoff chase and the playoff games, 276 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 3: that I can perform. And he didn't know until he 277 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: saw it that he could do it. And now he's 278 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 3: put into a position where he's batting cleanup on opening 279 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: Day in Cincinnati and performing the way he does every time. 280 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 3: This guy has been given a challenge of a huge 281 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 3: state age and a huge opportunity. He's done nothing but 282 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 3: meet that challenge and meet it with the kind of 283 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 3: energy that you would think is infectious across the entire clubhouse. 284 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: I remember the night before the Reds clinched in Milwaukee 285 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 3: when they won the game against the Brewers and they 286 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 3: put themselves in position to either win an in or 287 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 3: Mets lose in their in and talking to Sal Stewart 288 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: after that game, it was almost like the Kobe Bryant 289 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 3: the job's not finished. The rest of the clubhouse kind 290 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: of had this euphoria going right. They're on this high, 291 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 3: they're making this run. They now have this moment, and 292 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 3: sal kind of looked at me like, dude, what are 293 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 3: you talking about. We haven't done anything yet. You got 294 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: to get on the field tomorrow and earn it. And 295 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 3: to have that from such a young guy kind of 296 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 3: felt like one of those special guys that gets it 297 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: and kind of gets the moment. And then even yesterday 298 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 3: when he was talking about the idea he won, you know, 299 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 3: the National League Player of the Week and he said 300 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: that was something he dreamed of as a nine year old. 301 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 3: I almost wanted to stop the conversation and say, Sala, 302 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: did you really dream as a nine year old that 303 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 3: you wanted to win League Player of the Week. But 304 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: I knew what he was saying, right, Yeah, I knew 305 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: what he was saying. These are the kind of awards 306 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 3: and the kind of moments that you dream about as 307 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 3: a kid. But he put everything back to the team. 308 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 3: Drove everything back to the team, and guys are around 309 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 3: and guys are listening to that kind of stuff inside 310 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 3: the clubhouse, and I think South Stewart I said it 311 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 3: during spring training. I told co workers this because they 312 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 3: asked me a lot of questions about what was the 313 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 3: best story of spring training. I said, South Stewart's going 314 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 3: to become a fan favorite really quickly in Cincinnati from 315 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 3: what he did last year, but what he's about to 316 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: do this season, not only production Austin, but the way 317 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 3: he carries himself and the way he plays the game 318 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 3: is so very Cincinnati, and I think people here are 319 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: going to fall in love with him really quickly. 320 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: One last Reds thing that I want to ask you 321 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: a Bengals question as well before I let you go, 322 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 2: Joe Danaman, Fox nineteen, Paul Skeens pitches tomorrow for Pittsburgh. 323 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: You have a chance to win this series. Does the 324 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 2: fact that Skemes looms tomorrow change the way you approached 325 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: tonight and trying to win this series? 326 00:15:59,800 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: No? 327 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 2: I mean, the guy through thirty seven pitches on opening 328 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: days gonna be a little bit fresh and probably a 329 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: little bit hot, trying to get back to his form. 330 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: Does that or should that change the way you approach 331 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: tonight's game, even though it's Game five. 332 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 3: I do think two guys talking on the radio would 333 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 3: say absolutely yes. I don't know if that changes anything. 334 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 3: Inside of a Reds clubhouse where it's March, right, it's March. 335 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: You're not gonna oversell yourself to win one game. 336 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 2: The games in March count the same as the games 337 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: in September. 338 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: Joe, Nope. And that's where I was going, because this 339 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 3: is a team that has said that, They've come out 340 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 3: and said that many times. Emilio Pagan said that just 341 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 3: a couple of days ago about the extra inning game, 342 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: that you know, sometimes you have to go for these games, 343 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 3: no matter if they're in March, April, or September, because 344 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 3: every game, as we saw last year, could be the 345 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 3: difference between a team making it or not making it 346 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. This year, now, I would like to 347 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 3: think the Reds will have a little bit more cushion, 348 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: considering they're a better team in twenty twenty six and 349 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 3: they weren't twenty twenty five. But even more so than 350 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: just going for it to get a win with Skins 351 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 3: in the Mountain tomorrow, you think about where this team 352 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 3: is tonight, if they win tonight and they're four and one, 353 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 3: going to face Skeens instead of three and two and 354 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 3: possibly staring down three and three. Just the difference that 355 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 3: makes in a fan base who's you know, trying to 356 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 3: believe that a team can win the National League Central 357 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 3: with Milwaukee getting off to a good start as we 358 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: expected they would, playing the team they played in the 359 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 3: opening series. So yeah, I think it's it's a fun 360 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 3: talking point for two guys in the radio say absolutely, yeah, 361 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 3: dial up your best believers to go get it. We 362 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 3: just have to see how the game plays out tonight 363 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 3: and before they get tomorrow. But I'm with you, Paul 364 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 3: Skeins is looking to make a statement tomorrow after what 365 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 3: happened in Game one on opening Day. 366 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 2: And on top of that, I mean, let's say you 367 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 2: win tonight and you go into tomorrow and Skeens is 368 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 2: washed and you have a chance to go five and one. 369 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 2: I mean, who's to say. I mean, we don't really know. 370 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 3: And I also Reds fans this to Austin. Look at 371 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: the schedule in April. I know there's a really good 372 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 3: shot for the Reds to go like a rocket out 373 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: of the gates here and be six seven, eight games 374 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 3: above five hundred at the end of April, and give 375 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,479 Speaker 3: them give themselves a chance sixty seven to be in 376 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 3: good position as they start May, and the games get 377 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 3: harder and harder as the season goes, But the schedule 378 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 3: does set up well for them. 379 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: The first month of the season without a doubt. Let 380 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: me ask you a Bengals question, just because you and 381 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 2: I are obviously on both ends of the flagship here. 382 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 2: The NFL Annual meetings are happening right now in Phoenix. 383 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 2: Katie Blackburn is not talking. Is that a big deal? 384 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 3: Don't have a great answer for that one, Austin, I 385 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 3: really don't. I'll say it like this. Certainly it's a 386 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 3: big deal to Bengals fans, okay, because Bengals fans have questions, 387 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 3: sure have concerns, And I think it's important from people 388 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: in leadership that I can talk to the people have 389 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 3: an opportunity to take advantage of that and to share 390 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 3: the vision and to answer questions that we all have 391 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 3: about linebackers and visions of defense and building a team 392 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 3: and understanding the importance of this coming season. And it's 393 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 3: an opportunity for people in leadership to share that vision. 394 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 3: I have to think there's a decent reason why this 395 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: isn't happening. I do wonder that if we make the 396 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 3: transition when the Bengals go to Mock Turtle Soup Day 397 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 3: in the summer, maybe it's the transition from Mike speaking 398 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: on that day to maybe Katie speaking, and maybe this 399 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 3: is part of that transition. I don't know. I'm grasping 400 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 3: it strong because I don't have a good answer to 401 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 3: why Katie Blackburn wouldn't want to get in front of 402 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 3: reporters and ask questions. But a lot of times in 403 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 3: situations like this, I defer to there's got to be 404 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 3: a reason, maybe a reason we don't know and a 405 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 3: good reason. I'm not sure, but I do know this. 406 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 3: Bengals fans do have concerns. We have questions, and a 407 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 3: lot of times that falls on Zach Taylor to answer those, 408 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 3: and a lot of times the Bengals feel comfortable with 409 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 3: him answering those questions. And I know Zach spoke today. Yeah, 410 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 3: And I'm curious for when those stories, quotes, thoughts start 411 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 3: dropping on the timeline because you and I have been 412 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 3: waiting for those because we're not out in Arizona. 413 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: I felt like this was the perfect time for her 414 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: to talk. There's no Trey Hendrickson to talk about, there's 415 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 2: no stadium lease to talk about. Like things are pretty 416 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: much buttoned up like it should have been relatively, I 417 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 2: don't know. I don't want to say easy because I 418 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: don't think that's the word. But not the most newsworthy 419 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 2: conversation that she's ever had, I guess is what my 420 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 2: thought was. But I'll get into that more an hour 421 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 2: number three, Joe, thank you for the time. What are 422 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: you working on? What do you got coming up? 423 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 3: So we have a lot coming up Austin, including the 424 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 3: games for the Cincinnati Reds starting on Fox nineteen on Mondays. 425 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 3: Just kind of get used to Monday Nights the Reds 426 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 3: being on Fox nineteen. I know it's sometimes hard to 427 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 3: find the Reds these days, especially for some folks who 428 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 3: are learning how to dive into the streaming world. But 429 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: starting on April twentieth, we have a nice stretch of 430 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 3: Monday night games, including some Saturday games on Fox as well. 431 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: The Hall of Fame Night's going to be on Fox nineteen, 432 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 3: and then we're working on some big stuff for the 433 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 3: NFL Draft. As the flagship station, we have some special 434 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 3: programming coming up for that as well. So big month 435 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 3: ahead for the Bengals flagship station that is Fox nineteen, Austin. 436 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 3: As I'm showing the video all so. 437 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: You're telling me you're on TV as well, you're not. 438 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: Just you don't just join us.
