1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: Western and Southern Financial Group presents Threnneman and Jones on 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Baseball Brought to you went part by RNL Carriers on 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: seven hundred l Jalu, home of the Cincinnati Reds. 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 2: Well trace the Reds baseball season is over. The Dodgers 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 2: saw it to that last night with an eight to 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 2: four win. It was clear who was a better ball club, 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: who was a most experienced postseason team, And even though 8 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: the Reds had a memorable year, maintaining fan interest all 9 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: the way through the last game of the season, it 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 2: was simply not to be. 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 3: I want to ask you in the game last night, 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 3: the ball that was hit to Bet with bases loaded 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 3: and no outs and he throws it home to get 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 3: the lead runner. 15 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 4: I've never seen a play like that, Marty. When the 16 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 4: end pill is back, have you seen a play like that? No? 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: But I think that's a minor issue as far as 18 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: the outcome of this game is concerned. No, I have it. 19 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: I agree with that, but I could turn that around 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 2: to say, had Hernandez not dropped the fly ball in 21 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: the first any the Reds don't score two runs. 22 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, But all in all, a great 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 4: season for the Reds. 24 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there's any other way you can 25 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: describe it. I think the thing that's most concerning is 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 2: the fact that having been swept by the Dodgers the 27 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: Reds since they beat the Dodgers in nineteen ninety five 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: in the first round of the postseason, they have lost 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 2: twenty of twenty four postseason games, and that obviously is 30 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: something that's got to change. 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 4: It's hard to believe, isn't it. 32 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: It really is. It's amazing that you can lose that 33 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: many postseason games over the course of that period of time. 34 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: Res Aluser eliminated too straight by the Dodgers, and Tracy 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: and I be back in just a moment, going then 36 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: down to an offseason, and we'll get into this more 37 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: tomorrow in our final show of our and I think 38 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: there's some pretty obvious things that the Rich need to do. 39 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: Last night, we saw them load the bases twice, one 40 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: time with nobody out and could not score, and the 41 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: other time they came up empty. Also, it was a 42 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: microcosm of the one thing that has played this ball 43 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 2: club consistently all year long, and that is a gross 44 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: lack of offense. 45 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 5: Really, especially the power Marty. They've got to find a 46 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 5: position ballplayer that can hit some home runs and driving 47 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 5: some runs. 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 4: They're really missed that one impact player, don't you agree? 49 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 4: One hundred percent? 50 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: But along the same lines, I think when people start 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: to put pressure on sal Stewart said, here's the guy 52 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: that's going to bring them out of their power problems. 53 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 2: That is too much to ask for a young man 54 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: who at the end of the season has roughly a 55 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 2: month in Major League baseball. They need to go out 56 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: and get an experienced home run hitter who can drive 57 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: in runs and take the pressure off of these young kids. 58 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: The same thing we said this time last year. 59 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 4: But I have to agree with you. South Stewart is 60 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 4: a big time player. He is so mature for so 61 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 4: he is so young, but really knows how to hit. 62 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 4: He's going to be a superstar. I really believe that. 63 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 4: I think he's going to be. 64 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: A great offensive player, no doubt about it. Tomorrow, Tracy, 65 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: we wrap up this. How many years have it been now? 66 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: Three twenty it's spent. It's been twenty five. That's right, 67 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 4: We'll do it tomorrow. Yeah, buddy,
