Speaker 1: Western and Southern Financial Group presents Threnneman and Jones on
Speaker 1: Baseball Brought to you went part by RNL Carriers on
Speaker 1: seven hundred l Jalu, home of the Cincinnati Reds.
Speaker 2: Well trace the Reds baseball season is over. The Dodgers
Speaker 2: saw it to that last night with an eight to
Speaker 2: four win. It was clear who was a better ball club,
Speaker 2: who was a most experienced postseason team, And even though
Speaker 2: the Reds had a memorable year, maintaining fan interest all
Speaker 2: the way through the last game of the season, it
Speaker 2: was simply not to be.
Speaker 3: I want to ask you in the game last night,
Speaker 3: the ball that was hit to Bet with bases loaded
Speaker 3: and no outs and he throws it home to get
Speaker 3: the lead runner.
Speaker 4: I've never seen a play like that, Marty. When the
Speaker 4: end pill is back, have you seen a play like that? No?
Speaker 2: But I think that's a minor issue as far as
Speaker 2: the outcome of this game is concerned. No, I have it.
Speaker 2: I agree with that, but I could turn that around
Speaker 2: to say, had Hernandez not dropped the fly ball in
Speaker 2: the first any the Reds don't score two runs.
Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, But all in all, a great
Speaker 4: season for the Reds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there's any other way you can
Speaker 2: describe it. I think the thing that's most concerning is
Speaker 2: the fact that having been swept by the Dodgers the
Speaker 2: Reds since they beat the Dodgers in nineteen ninety five
Speaker 2: in the first round of the postseason, they have lost
Speaker 2: twenty of twenty four postseason games, and that obviously is
Speaker 2: something that's got to change.
Speaker 4: It's hard to believe, isn't it.
Speaker 2: It really is. It's amazing that you can lose that
Speaker 2: many postseason games over the course of that period of time.
Speaker 2: Res Aluser eliminated too straight by the Dodgers, and Tracy
Speaker 2: and I be back in just a moment, going then
Speaker 2: down to an offseason, and we'll get into this more
Speaker 2: tomorrow in our final show of our and I think
Speaker 2: there's some pretty obvious things that the Rich need to do.
Speaker 2: Last night, we saw them load the bases twice, one
Speaker 2: time with nobody out and could not score, and the
Speaker 2: other time they came up empty. Also, it was a
Speaker 2: microcosm of the one thing that has played this ball
Speaker 2: club consistently all year long, and that is a gross
Speaker 2: lack of offense.
Speaker 5: Really, especially the power Marty. They've got to find a
Speaker 5: position ballplayer that can hit some home runs and driving
Speaker 5: some runs.
Speaker 4: They're really missed that one impact player, don't you agree?
Speaker 4: One hundred percent?
Speaker 2: But along the same lines, I think when people start
Speaker 2: to put pressure on sal Stewart said, here's the guy
Speaker 2: that's going to bring them out of their power problems.
Speaker 2: That is too much to ask for a young man
Speaker 2: who at the end of the season has roughly a
Speaker 2: month in Major League baseball. They need to go out
Speaker 2: and get an experienced home run hitter who can drive
Speaker 2: in runs and take the pressure off of these young kids.
Speaker 2: The same thing we said this time last year.
Speaker 4: But I have to agree with you. South Stewart is
Speaker 4: a big time player. He is so mature for so
Speaker 4: he is so young, but really knows how to hit.
Speaker 4: He's going to be a superstar. I really believe that.
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be.
Speaker 2: A great offensive player, no doubt about it. Tomorrow, Tracy,
Speaker 2: we wrap up this. How many years have it been now?
Speaker 4: Three twenty it's spent. It's been twenty five. That's right,
Speaker 4: We'll do it tomorrow. Yeah, buddy,
