Speaker 4: of list. So when you need to run, just run

89

Speaker 4: and we will fully understand. Let's get to the latest

90
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 4: in Terry Francona's announcement of three starting pitchers who all

91
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: three now will make the team.

92
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 5: Explain, yeah, no one's going to go home disappointed.

93
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 6: Reet Louder, Chase Burns, and Brandon Williamson have all been

94
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 6: told they made the team. All three will be used

95
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 6: as starters in some fashion he called Terry Francona called

96
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 6: it as six for five.

97
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 5: It will not be a six man rotation.

98
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 6: So on one given day of either the fourth.

99
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 5: Or fifth spot, you know, two of those guys.

100
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 6: Will start, and then one of them might be used

101
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 6: out of the bullpen, so like you could see Burns

102
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 6: start a game and then Williamson kind of comes in

103
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 6: and pitches long relief after him, and kind of a tandem,

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 6: sort of a situation, or Louder could follow the Williamson

105
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 6: or Burns can follow one.

106
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 5: Of the other two guys. So it's it's it's only.

107
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 6: Being done to open the season for a little while.

108
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 6: This is not a long term solution, but a short

109
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 6: term one until more pitchers are stretched out and you

110
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 6: get further into the season and at some point they'll

111
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 6: have to make a decision and figure out what to

112
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 6: do with one of those pictures.

113
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: And Mark, I guess my immediate reaction to that the

114
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 4: domino is then that means they'll care it. There'll be

115
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 4: one man down in the bullpen each day with only

116
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 4: seven bullpen arms.

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 5: Correct, that is correct.

118
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 6: Connor Phillips has been told he made the bullpen, so

119
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 6: that essentially leaves one spot left now among several people

120
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 6: to decide who's going to get that last spot.

121
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 5: But yeah, Phillips is in.

122
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 6: Also, will Benson's in on the on the bench stone.

123
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 4: Brandon Williamson's really been one of the cool stories. I mean,

124
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: it's been two years and he's been through so much

125
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: and it's hard not to root for. I mean, and

126
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: he's come out on a very positive.

127
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: Side this spring.

128
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's looked great. I think all his outings have

129
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 6: been scoreless, and he's his last two starts, especially seven

130
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 6: scoreless innings.

131
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,119
Speaker 5: He's looked really good.

132
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 6: And you know, this is a guy that he didn't

133
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 6: pitch for fifteen months after and really much of twenty

134
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 6: four because he was coming back from shoulder problems and

135
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 6: then he had the Tommy John surgery in late twenty four,

136
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 6: this all of last season, and he's looked very good.

137
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 6: So you know, kudos to him for coming all the

138
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 6: way back at teams.

139
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 5: And putting a good foot forward.

140
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: So market seems like going back to over the weekend

141
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 4: on Friday night and Chase Burns only throwing two instead

142
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: of four, and the word d load, which we're now

143
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: all getting used to, that doesn't seem like bad concerning troubling,

144
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: it seems like something they can manage a massage by

145
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: this decision today, I take it.

146
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 5: It seems like it. I mean, certainly they're going to

147
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 5: watch him.

148
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 6: They're not gonna be willy nilly with any of these guys,

149
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 6: but Burns, especially with his kind of arm and the

150
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 6: way he throws, and they wanted to do more flexibility

151
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 6: training and things like that, but they also know they

152
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 6: have to be very careful and they don't want to

153
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 6: injure any of these guys by being, you know, out

154
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 6: too much on him too soon. Francona noted that Burns

155
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 6: only had thirteen minor league starts last season. Ye's also

156
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 6: add the the eight big league starts he's had, so's

157
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 6: he doesn't have a lot of pro experience, so they're

158
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 6: being very very careful not to give him too much

159
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 6: too soon.

160
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: You mentioned one bullpen spot remaining, and they've got a

161
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: guy who's been in until after last night. He's been

162
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 4: in World Baseball Classic Limbo with Kyle Nichols. Kind of

163
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: an odd situation, isn't it.

164
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's unfortunate in a way for him. I mean,

165
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 6: certainly he probably loved going to the final or the

166
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 6: semi finals with Italy and he finally got to pitch.

167
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 6: He only had one game entering yesterday, and then yesterday

168
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 6: he got to pitch again.

169
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 5: So I don't know how that's going to help his chances.

170
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 5: It's going to be tough because he hasn't pitched.

171
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 6: Enough in spring training probably to get enough reps to

172
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 6: be ready for the season. But certainly there's other guys here,

173
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 6: whether it's Sam mall or Hagen Danner, Luis may Zach Maxwell,

174
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 6: they're all still here competing, so it'll be interesting how

175
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 6: they end up going down that road. And mall is

176
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 6: by far had the best camp, and he's left handed,

177
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 6: not that that's necessarily the overriding factor, but it's it's

178
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 6: gonna be interesting to see who they picked.

179
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: You mentioned Will Benson has been told he makes the team,

180
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: and that still leaves a really juicy couple of decisions

181
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 4: on the bench between Bledat and Myers and Low and Hines.

182
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: What's that that's four for two spots. If my math

183
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 4: is correct, that is exactly right. They're gonna have to

184
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 4: figure that out.

185
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 6: Low as the different situation because he's a non roster guy.

186
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 6: He's also not an outfielder, and uh, there's a there's

187
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 6: you know, they'll have to figure out how they could

188
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 6: play him in terms of getting first base time because

189
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 6: there's obviously south Stewart already there and eventually Suarez and

190
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 6: Steer can play first base. So they're a little deep

191
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 6: at first, but we'll see if what happens. They're also

192
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 6: very light on the left handed side in terms of

193
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 6: their regular lineup, so you know, now they have Benson.

194
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 6: Francona didn't really tip either way with what they were

195
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 6: going to do about having the left right balance. You'll

196
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 6: have a right handed hitter in Trevino, you have a

197
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 6: left handed hitter in Benson, and then you have two

198
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 6: lefties and two righty's. I believe that remain in the

199
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 6: four guys you mentioned.

200
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 4: I've gotten a ton of great stuff from you, and

201
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 4: I don't want to push this any longer. I want

202
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: to give you a chance, with this developing situation to

203
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,480

Speaker 5: Twice a week.

215
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: I can't tell you how much just means. You had

216
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 4: every right in the world to say, I'm absolutely swamped.

217
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 4: I don't have time to do this.

218
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 3: You did. Thank you so much, my pleasure, LAMB, have

219
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: a great night. Take care you as well.

220
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 4: Mark Sheldon from the scene as as unfolded in the

221
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 4: last twenty minutes or so, and he's waiting on. I

222
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 4: wanted to get him off because I didn't want to

223
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: I didn't want him to have to hang up in

224
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: the middle of the conversation because Hunter Green is on

225
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 4: hand and is going to speak and meet with the

226
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: media at any moment.

227
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 3: But again, here's what we know.

228
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 4: Terry Francona has and the organization Nick Krawl, they have

229
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: decided that Chase Burns, RT Louder and Brandon Williamson, all

230
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 4: three have made the team that to begin the day,

231
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,239
Speaker 4: was thought to be three for two, three names candidates

232
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: for the fourth and fifth spots in the rotation. Now

233
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: all three are going to make it. It will not

234
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: be a six man rotation. They will be used in tandem,

235
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 4: kind of a piggyback. On a given day, maybe one

236
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: goes four or five, and another is available to perhaps

237
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: in a perfect world, clean up the final three or

238
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 4: four innings if they pitch well, that would be in

239
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 4: a perfect world. Again, not a long term thing, but

240
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 4: a short term basis. That's that's that's cool in one aspect,

241
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 4: because you've got three quality arms who pitched well this spring.

242
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 4: The daily domino that falls, as I alluded to, is

243
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 4: you're going to go one arm short in the bullpen

244
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 4: every day, so you are on days you are going

245
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 4: to have the tandems. You are going to need those

246
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 4: tandems to back to the perfect world one go four,

247
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 4: one go five, or one go five, one go four

248
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 4: and limit your exposure to the rest of your bullpen

249
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 4: that day in a perfect world, because you won't have

250
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 4: eight relievers, you will have seven. Those seven right now

251
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 4: or six right now would be I'm doing this all

252
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: off the top of my head. As this situation is unfolding.

253
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: You've got Pegan Santion, Phillips has been told he made

254
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 4: the team today, Pierce Johnson, brock Burke. That's five. I'll

255
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 4: go Graham Ashcraft six, and that leaves one more bullpen

256
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: spot for I would think mal If mal doesn't make

257
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 4: the team, then what purpose is spring training serve? Because

258
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 4: Maul's been arguably one of, if not their best pitcher

259
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: this spring. He's made seven appearance he hasn't given up

260
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 4: a run. So the final spot goes to either Mal,

261
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: Kyle Nicholas, and is Mark alluded to tough spot because

262
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 4: he's had and joined the Reds until now when the

263
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 4: World Baseball Classic ended for Italy last night, Luis May

264
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: and Zach Maxwell. Now May has actually May and Maxwell

265
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 4: both have pitched better of late, hadn't pitched well early

266
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 4: into the midway point of spring. So is as much

267
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: as the numbers may jump out and point to Mal,

268
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 4: who hasn't allowed a run, I may maybe Nicholas does

269
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: make it in the week he has left. But you've

270
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 4: got one out of Mal, Nicholas, Maxwell, and May, your

271
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: starter's singer Lodolo, Abbott, Burns, Louder and Williamson, and then

272
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 4: that bench spot to Will Benson. So you've got Jose

273
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: Travino who gets a spot, Will Benson who gets a spot,

274
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: and then you have two spots left to blood Day, Myers,

275
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 4: Low and Hines. I would think Myers locks up center

276
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 4: field as the backup to TJ. Friedel. That's why they

277
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 4: acquired him. He can play center field, he can hit

278
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 4: left handed. He's been tremendous in the spring and has

279
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: walked eleven times. So I'm gonna go ahead and circle him.

280
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 4: That leaves one more between blood day Low and Hines.

281
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: H huh.

282
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 4: All right, Still ahead, We'll dissect this much more coming

283
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 4: up on the Hot Stove League Show at seven. Still ahead,

284
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: we'll continue our NCAA basketball trek. Clint Sargent, head coach

Speaker 4: and eleven winners of eighteen or the last twenty two.

313
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 8: accomplishments was getting our five month down for his nap right.

314
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 7: Before you called, and they pulled through.

315
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

316
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 7: But no, it's it's been special.

317
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 8: You know, all the all the highs and lows you

318
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 8: go through, especially leading being the head coach, to have

319
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 8: have those mountaintop moments with your family is really what.

320
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: It's all about.

321
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 4: Coach with those just by looking the five ages, you

322
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 4: and your wife got to play zone defense with them

323
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: there there. You can't go man to man and keep

324
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 4: track of them, can you.

325
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, playing zone and we're not very good at it.

326
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 7: We're taking a lot of losses, but we're hating.

327
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 4: Your team rallied down twelve to win the Horizon title

328
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 4: last week. My wife and I were courtside two weeks

329
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 4: ago at Truce Arena, saw your team down twenty rally

330
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 4: against NKU. You've got a group that does not flinch

331
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 4: and facing a deficit, don't you.

332
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, we do.

333
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 8: We have a and I think that Northern Kentucky game

334
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 8: the Railar season, end of the Raular season had a

335
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 8: big had a big part and just kind of we

336
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 8: be together, one more little piece of the fabric having

337
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 8: a championship DNA to know you can be you know,

338
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 8: win that game at NKAU, which they've played really well

339
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 8: down the stretch. I think that was a big moment

340
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 8: of growth for our team. And we're deeper and we

341
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 8: have a number of guys that have made big shots

342
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 8: throughout the year. And then we just have a very

343
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 8: I think, I know it gets used a lot in

344
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 8: the coaching ranks. I'm sure you've heard it many times

345
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 8: in interviews, but just a very connected group, you know,

346
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 8: So all those moments where you're really trying to be

347
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 8: resilient and steer the momentum back, you know, it's just

348
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 8: a million little decisions and interactions that thankfully, because of

349
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 8: the close knit group we have, we've been able to

350
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 8: be resilient in big moments.

351
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 4: Your first season was a challenge at times last year

352
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 4: fifteen and eighteen, but I would think some of that

353
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 4: adversity led you to learning and being able to lay

354
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: the foundation for this season.

355
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 8: Exactly right, you know, And and it's really been a

356
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 8: huge area of conviction and kind of setting a culture

357
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 8: in this era because I do think, you know, at

358
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 8: least from my experience living last year fifteen eighteen, I

359
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 8: understand how critical failure.

360
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 7: Is to learning and growing and really in.

361
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 8: This era and in society, nobody wants it that ever happened,

362
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 8: And I think just for young people, create an environment

363
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 8: for this roster to know, Yeah, we'd like to not

364
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 8: have repetitive behaviors in certain areas. We want to improve

365
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 8: all those things, but just helping them know you can

366
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 8: fail and be better for it and creating that type

367
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 8: of environment.

368
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 7: And yeah, I walked it last year.

369
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 8: Last year was brutally difficult, but I wouldn't change it

370
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 8: for anything. It's given me a lot, especially with our

371
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 8: children that them just watching their father fail and just

372
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 8: respond and thanksful having a number of great people around

373
00:18:58,760 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 8: me here at right State.

374
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 7: And I think it's helped everybody be better this year.

375
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 4: Boy, I would I would think another thing that will

376
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 4: serve your team well going forward. I count nine road wins,

377
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 4: three neutral site wins. You guys are good away from home,

378
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 4: aren't you.

379
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

380
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's uh.

381
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 8: You know something about our team, you know when when

382
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 8: they're we always talk about this, that fight or flight response,

383
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 8: when that that knife is at your throat. You know,

384
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 8: as men, we feel like we're great to run into

385
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 8: it and protect, provide and protect, and we just educate

386
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 8: our guys in that. Often you don't feel that in

387
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 8: any greater environment.

388
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 7: Than when you're on the road.

389
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 8: And again to the point you made earlier being down,

390
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 8: I do think in those moments when we feel most threatened,

391
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 8: our guys feel like they're most capable and and a

392
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 8: lot of that's just a steady does to conversation. And

393
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 8: then again with our deep team, we've been able to

394
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 8: practice at a pretty high clip where it's competitive and

395
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 8: you can't coast or you're going to get exposed.

396
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 7: I think that that makes you.

397
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 8: It can build you and equip you to be be

398
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 8: great in hostile environments.

399
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 3: You've got to guard. TJ.

400
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 4: Birch numbers one hundred and fifteen assists, eighty three steals.

401
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 4: Those are numbers. The intangibles are the other parts. To me,

402
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 4: that dude is fearless. He is feisty, isn't he.

403
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's been.

404
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 8: He's been a coach's dream, especially you know, somebody who's

405
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 8: still figuring out so much of this as a younger

406
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 8: head coach. He's really embodied so much of what I

407
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 8: want our teams to be. And it's just been a

408
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 8: it's been a great journey with him. You know, I

409
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 8: think he's needed a lot of what the staff is

410
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 8: in the environment we have inside of locker room and

411
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 8: then on the floor. He's given us such a mentality

412
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 8: on the ball defensively. And then you said, Atlanta's just

413
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 8: as fearless. Fearless at you competitive spirit, It really is

414
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 8: something that leads our team, and he's just kind of

415
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 8: scratching the surface. That's the scary part for him. He

416
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 8: can get so much better. And I still feel like

417
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 8: our team has better basketball ahead. And obviously we're gonna

418
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 8: need a Friday coach.

419
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: We we see some rosters around the country, fourth year,

420
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 4: fifty or sixth year guys, maybe a seventh year guy.

421
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 4: I see freshmen on your team. There aren't just contributors,

422
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 4: but they're impactors on your team this year.

423
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been a fun journey with them, uh, you know,

424
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 8: and many of them, you know, count pick at Michael Cooper, uh,

425
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 8: two true freshmen, and then you know, we have a

426
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 8: number of sophomores Dominic Pangonis, tej at Berg, Salam mccallahan,

427
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 8: Andre Holden.

428
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 7: Those guys are sophomore. So it's been fun, you know.

429
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 8: Just because there's some blessing and then there's some curses

430
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 8: to being young. But but we've seen far more of

431
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 8: the blessing of this group just being fearless, being so

432
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 8: coachable and and and then being so connected with their

433
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 8: peers and open and honest, and it's just again for

434
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 8: allow allowed us to not you know, have not as

435
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 8: good a non conference as we would have liked, But

436
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 8: every little moment of adversity a loss, I feel like

437
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 8: we've really gotten better for it. And it really just

438
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 8: speaks to their young hearts, being coachable and what they

439
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 8: give to each other.

440
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: Right States, going to the NCAA tournament, we're talking a

441
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 4: couple of more minutes with their head coach, Clint Surgeon.

442
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 4: Some teams didn't find out, of course, till Sunday they

443
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 4: made it and then turn right around into the prep.

444
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: You guys played a week ago today for the last time.

445
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 4: Did that gap allow you any Was there any like unplug,

446
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 4: re energize, enjoy, appreciate it? Was there moments for that

447
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 4: during that gap.

448
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's probably one of the best parts lance of

449
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 8: being you know, at mid major school who has their

450
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 8: conference tournament earlier. In this little window of time for

451
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 8: our industry, it gives you a great you know, day

452
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 8: day and a half to just sit back and celebrate

453
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 8: really just your family, your players or families, our administration,

454
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 8: our fans and have a little bit of time where

455
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 8: you know, rarely you get those moments during the season

456
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 8: where you get to relax at all uh and just

457
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 8: show a little gratitude, and we were able to do that.

458
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 8: And then and then you jump back into practice, which

459
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 8: can be uh, it can be a little tricky, this

460
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 8: this time when you don't know your opponent. But but thankfully,

461
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 8: you know, once we we we heard it be Virginia

462
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 8: to jump back into just getting better and kind of

463
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 8: the basketball process that's been really healthy. So we've kind

464
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 8: of gotten the full experience and now we're looking forward

465
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 8: to get back on the floor and competing.

466
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 4: You'd been an assistant at Right State under the former

467
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 4: coach Scott Nagy. You played for him at South Dakota State.

468
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 4: He's at Southern Illinois now I imagine he's reached out.

469
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: You guys have communicated since.

470
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot of a lot of a lot of

471
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 8: awesome conversation with coach you know, obvious somebody I love

472
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 8: and admire and watched the lead for many years.

473
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 7: To kind of have this moment, uh now getting the lead,

474
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 7: it's been.

475
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 8: It's been special, especially just the time at Right State.

476
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 8: So many uh man, it goes quick, but but so

477
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 8: many great people and former players that that kind of

478
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 8: having longevity at one spot, which is you know, becoming

479
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 8: more and more rare Uh, to get a just enjoy

480
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 8: it with with former players, former coaches has been very

481
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 8: special for me and my family.

482
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 4: You get a Virginia team that's twenty nine and five.

483
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 4: What as you've watched and studied and taken a deep dive,

484
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,719
Speaker 4: what jumps out about the Cavaliers.

485
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 7: There's just a hot a lot of weakness there.

486
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: Uh.

487
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 8: You know, they're they're very good and and and really

488
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 8: you know they've lost to Carolina, they lost the triple

489
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 8: overtime game, couple to Duke. You know that they've really

490
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 8: had a complete season. And and you know that they

491
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 8: have great shop locking, they're very balanced, good guard play,

492
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 8: they guard you, uh, and then and they're probably playing

493
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 8: their best basketball. So we understand how tall a task

494
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 8: it will be, but we feel like, uh and understandably so.

495
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 8: So much of this tournament is about your matchup and

496
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 8: how quickly and easily you can just shift all your

497
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 8: focus on Virginia, which obviously we will be prepared, but

498
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 8: we just think if we can play our best and

499
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 8: be excellent and focus more on right state and who

500
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 8: we need to be just kind of four minutes by

501
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 8: four minutes, we we we.

502
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 7: Think we'll be in the game.

503
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 8: And if you can be in the game in this tournament,

504
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 8: you just you know, that pressure shifts, and our group

505
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 8: is used to in game pressure. We've been playing, you know,

506
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 8: almost two months now, being in first place in our league,

507
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 8: finishing off your your league titles. So these guys have

508
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 8: thrived in that pressure. We just need to flip it

509
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 8: in game and then and then just just see what happens.

510
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 4: Let's see, it's Tuesday night, you play Friday one fifty.

511
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 4: What's your itinerary or when you guys leave.

512
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 8: We will take off tomorrow morning, get out to Philly

513
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 8: and and then and then practice, have dinner with our families,

514
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 8: and then and then we'll have you know, just another

515
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 8: day of prep. That's been the great part, apart from

516
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 8: you know, twenty twenty two when we were in the

517
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 8: first four. Everything once you find out who you're playing,

518
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 8: everything moves so quickly.

519
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 7: This has been.

520
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 8: This has been great because you get a chance to

521
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 8: emotionally have selection Sunday, decompressed with that with a few

522
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 8: days of practice and.

523
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 7: Then just get into a little bit normal rhythm.

524
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 8: So we'll head out tomorrow, have a couple of days

525
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 8: before Friday, and then we'll get to it.

526
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, these are crazy hectic times you've been

527
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 4: pestered to do stuff like this. I really appreciate you

Speaker 8: Yeah, Lance, anytime I'll hop on with you.

531
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,440

Speaker 4: Sounds good. Thanks coach, take care, thank you. All Right,

538
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 4: freshman playing good basketball. Let's take a time out of

539
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 4: come back hit down the stretch to let's see how

540
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 4: what it was again. I'm doing sports talk into Red's

541
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 4: Hot Stove, which I'm not doing. But then I'm coming

542
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 4: back at eight, so stick around through and then we'll

543
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 4: talk on the backside of all of it. It is

544
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 4: our Hell Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey's Share for

545
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 4: LIAE seven hundred WLW. Close it in on seven o'clock.

00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 4: That's news time. Then just after seven o'clock we'll be

547
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 4: Red's Hot Stove. Then after that you and me hook

548
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 4: up from eight to eight point thirty leading into Red's Baseball.

549
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 4: By the way, thanks to Nick Phillips at Wright State

550
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 4: for making that happen and reached out to him yesterday.

551
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 4: And really cool catching up with coach Sergeant for the

552
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 4: first time. They've had a heck of a season. And

553
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 4: I know and shout out to Miami last night, who

554
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 4: during all these times, everybody wants to talk with everybody,

555
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 4: and there's only so much time in a day, and

556
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 4: and I know I get in the way of people's

557
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 4: prep time and everything else that I said, if they

558
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: got time, I love And Peter Sooter was great last

559
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 4: night the Miami RedHawks. He checked in at eight thirty five.

560
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 4: And Glenn Box, the coach of the Miami Women, their

561
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 4: best most wins in school history with twenty eight. He

562
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: was fantastic and really enjoyed the conversation with a Wright

563
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 4: State coach Clint Sergent a few minutes ago. All available

564
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 4: in the podcast seven hundred WLW dot com and through

565
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 4: the iHeartRadio app. A couple of things. One I saw

566
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 4: the athletic No, it was Mel Kuiper Today. Mel Kiper

567
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 4: mock draft. Latest mock draft following the first wave first week,

568
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 4: plus a free agency, He's got four Buckeyes going in

569
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 4: the top eight. Four Buckeyes in the top eight. He

570
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 4: has Jeremiah loved the Notre Dame running back going to

571
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 4: Tennessee at four, Caleb Downs to the Giants at five,

572
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 4: Sunny styles of the Buckeyes to Washington at seven, Rubin

573
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 4: Bain Junior to the Chiefs at nine, in the Bengals

574
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 4: at ten, take Lsu corner Monsur Delaney, mel writes, even

575
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 4: with boy Mafey in the fold, the edge rush leaves

576
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 4: a lot to be desired. But with Baine off the board,

577
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 4: there isn't a pass rusher whose value fits here. The

578
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 4: Bengals would have to reach for Missouri Zie on Young,

579
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 4: Auburn's Keldrick Falk, or forget the other one he had listed,

580
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 4: but it concluded all were too early to go at

581
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 4: that point, he writes. But Cincinnati also wanted four teams

582
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 4: to give up more than seven yards per opponent drop

583
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 4: back last year. Would love to have a true number

584
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 4: one corner. Delaney can make plays.

585
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 3: On the ball.

586
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: He live in pass breakups, two interceptions, and either man

587
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 4: or zone coverage can get it done. So remember the

588
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 4: name Monsieur Delaney LSU corner. All Right, I mentioned with

589
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 4: Mark the kind of odd story involving Kyle Nicholas, the

590
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 4: Reds reliever. Remember they got him for Tyler Callahan back

591
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 4: on March the fourth, and he's competing for now the

592
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 4: final bullpen spot. Well, he hasn't even had I mean,

593
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 4: I don't. I should have asked Mark if he'd spotted

594
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 4: him today. He's probably not in camp today. He was

595
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 4: pitching for Italy in the World Baseball Classic. He hadn't

596
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 4: pitched a whole lot, but he'd been with them. He

597
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 4: had pitched on March the eighth, hadn't pitched again until

598
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 4: last night, pitched an inning in two thirds of scoreless

599
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 4: relief with two strikeouts. Charlie Goldsmith had reported the Reds

600
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 4: had a scout at the World Baseball Classic watching him.

601
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 4: But even Terry told Charlie, you know Nicholas, it's hard

602
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 4: because we don't know him.

603
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: It's been frustrating.

604
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 4: I'm not frustrated with him, just the fact that we're

605
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 4: dying to get to know him and we're not. So

606
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 4: keep in mind he was with the Pirates when when

607
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 4: he was traded but off to the World Baseball Classic.

608
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 4: So the Pirates are in Bradenton. So the World Baseball

609
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 4: Classic last night wrapped up for Italy, so he was

610
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 4: in that game was in Miami, so he would have

611
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 4: to go to Bradenton, probably gather all his stuff, and

612
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 4: then get out to Goodyear and join his team. And

613
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: we're ten days away from opening day. Part of the

614
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 4: dilemma and the evaluation of him. If you are just

615
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 4: tuning in, and you'll want to stick around because an

616
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 4: hour of Red's Hot Stove is coming. The news of

617
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 4: the day, Burns Louder, Williamson all make the team. That

618
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 4: doesn't mean a six man rotation. It will be some

619
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 4: sort of tandem piggyback where in a perfect world, on

620
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 4: one day one of them starts and goes five, the

621
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 4: other comes in behind and goes four. That's how you

622
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 4: would hope it would work. The best of laid plans.

Speaker 4: Tom Gamble.

649
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: How are you well only one person dumb enough to

650
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: try to play baseball in March, right? I mean, are

651
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: you think about this? Lance? Kentucky regular season play started yesterday?

652
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: Now obviously it didn't happen, and then Ohio starts a

653
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: week from this Friday, the day after opening day. But

654
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: it's crazy, isn't it. I mean you look. The weirdest

655
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: thing though, is it's going to be twenty one day

656
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: and seventy the next. It's you know, you talk about

657
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: coaching and how difficult it is anyway, and you throw

658
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: into anyone and they'll tell you. Spring sports is the

659
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: most brutal because it's so volatile. You have no control

660
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: over anything, because from day to day, you know, it

661
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: could be raining, it could be snowing, it could be windy.

662
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 2: It's just in this spring. I hope we're gonna get

663
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: over this because it has been, as you're well aware

664
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: evidence by today, Happy Saint Patrick's Day. You want to

665
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 2: sit out on a patio.

666
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: It's been brutal, no doubt brutal. All right, let's trace

667
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 3: the steps of this.

668
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 4: Let's go back to the beginning, because when I say

669
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 4: eighty four high school baseball and softball team's forty nine games,

670
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 4: am I correct? If we go back to twenty twelve,

671
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 4: this started with twenty five baseball games.

672
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow, Well I hope those numbers you said they

673
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: were right because I've counted them repeatedly because we lose

674
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 2: track after a while. But yeah, you know, it started

675
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 2: lance with Pete Mohencamp, who is now the varsity baseball

676
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 2: coach at Sycamore. Then he was at Reading and he

677
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 2: came to me and he said, hey, can you do

678
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: for baseball what you did for high school football? And

679
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 2: he's referencing the sky in Chili Crosstown Showdown, which this

680
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: fall will be in year twenty nine, And you know,

681
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 2: the focus was, you know, spring, the sports are kind

682
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 2: of an afterthought, right, ads are kind of burned out.

683
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: They kind of just defer things. Hey, coaches, you handle it.

684
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 2: And it was really you know, I don't think people

685
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: realize how good the quality of high school baseball and

686
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: softball in this region has been. I mean, there's been

687
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 2: a lot of Major leaguers, but just year in and

688
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: year out, just quality of play. So we tried to

689
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 2: do that to put a little emphasis on it, to

690
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 2: make it be a focus, to give it a center stage,

691
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: if you will. Started with those twenty five games. We've

692
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: had fifty games one year before. But it's you know,

693
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 2: it's five or six weeks of really intense play and

694
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: we try to get the best teams and some of

695
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 2: the better games, and it's a lot of fun when

696
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 2: the weather cooperation.

697
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 4: Let's work through this. Because I know Pete mullen Camp's

698
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 4: all fired up. But he was telling me about this

699
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 4: way back when we were at Camp Rosa for your event,

700
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 4: this new River Cumps River Cup series at Sycamore High School.

701
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 3: Give me the details.

702
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, when he brought this up and he said, you know,

703
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 2: it'd be kind of cool to do something with Greater

704
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: Cincinnati playing against the Northern Kentucky teams. So we've got

705
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: five games and three days and actually kicks it off.

706
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 2: That's why I actually we were playing in March. I've

707
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 2: always waited till the first Saturday in April. But yes,

708
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 2: next Friday, and Sycamore's got a brand new all synthetic

709
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 2: turf field. It's Phase one. It's gorgeous. So we've got

710
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 2: a game on Friday. That's Highland Sycamore two on Saturday

711
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 2: two on Sunday twenty seven through twenty nine, the day

712
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 2: after OAT Red's opening day. And you know, five games

713
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: odd number, so somebody, assuming they're all played and they

714
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 2: will be on turf, somebody will win three over two,

715
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: four over one. You know. So we'll have and every

716
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: year we'll have kind of a Traveling River Cup. Obviously,

717
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 2: the Ohio River splits Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. I figured

718
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 2: that out, and so that'll kind of be the prize.

719
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 2: It's really just bragging rights and something to add a

720
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 2: little fun to it.

721
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 4: Boit tell me about this Mrquee matchup you have on

722
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 4: April the fourth between a couple of teams that know

723
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 4: about state championships.

724
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we were supposed to do this last year

725
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 2: on April the fifth, and that never happened because I

726
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: think it was twenty degrees and snowing all day. But

727
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 2: it's it's Nason, which won the twenty twenty four state

728
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 2: D one state and Moler, which is one a number

729
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 2: of them playing each other, and that's kind of become

730
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: the the regular season game, if you will. It's the

731
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: first of three we're playing out at the University of

732
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: Cincinnati on April the fourth at noon. And you know

733
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 2: the thing is, lance we played at U See, we've

734
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 2: got three days at Xavier. We've got two days and

735
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 2: six big games at Miami. We've got two days at

736
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: Wright State, three three days at Midland Baseball Complex. So

737
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: we really try to hit on all the you know,

738
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: college facilities and you know gold now. But college baseball

739
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: in this area is really gotten strong. I mean, you know,

740
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 2: you wouldn't think that because we're not in you know,

741
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: the South or out west. But boy, of these college

742
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 2: baseball programs from Miami to UC to Xavier to even

743
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: NKU which made the NCAA, you know, the College World

744
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 2: Series tournament a few years back. I mean, it's it's

745
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: pretty darn good college baseball around here.

746
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 4: Now, tell us about the Big League Weekend. I always

747
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 4: love this because teams get a chance to play a

748
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 4: Great American Ballpark.

749
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, let's be honest, if you're a local kid,

750
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 2: you want to play for the Reds one day, right,

751
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: And that's certainly is a goal. And so this is

752
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 2: year eleven, where there are five games at Great American Ballpark.

753
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 2: Reds are out of town. May fifteenth, and sixteen. This

754
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: kind of ends the event and we have two games

755
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: on that Friday, three games on that Saturday, And I mean,

756
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 2: it's cool. It's one of the neatest things to stand

757
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 2: down on the dugout and see these guys walk through

758
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 2: the tunnel and walk out there and see if they're

759
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: going to be on that field is pretty cool. And

760
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: I don't forget. On Sunday, April twenty six we have

761
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 2: March at the Majors, which is where every kid wearing

762
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 2: his or her jersey top come down before the Reds

763
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: will play the Tigers this year get to do a

764
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: pregame parade. We have the PNC MVPs where they get

765
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 2: a Louis wille sloughter bat. We present those on the field.

766
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 2: Some of the Reds players come out and shake their

767
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: hands and it's really a great experience. And to look

768
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 2: around the ballpark and see all the jerseys is really cool.

769
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: And if you're missed, but I didn't mention, We've got

770
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: three days of softball and one up at Lebanon with

771
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 2: the defending Division one state champ Lebanon Warriors Centerville, which

772
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 2: Lebanon beat in the D one State final, and Kent Ridge,

773
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: which won the D four finals. So I mean, you know,

774
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 2: two state championship, a state runner up, and softball is

775
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 2: really good quality too, And it's it's just we've got

776
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: some really good teams. And I'll tell you high school

777
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: baseball this year, I think I've been told by many

778
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: on the inside is really going to be good. There

779
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 2: are a lot of really top notch players that are

780
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 2: gonna be on the field.

781
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 4: The bang for your buck ticket price is incredible and

782
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 4: it's not just a ticket. Tell listeners about the price

783
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 4: and what comes with a ticket.

784
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifteen years we've never raised the price.

785
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 4: Wow, women say that again, Women say that.

786
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 2: Again, Yeah, and sign me the fifteen years we've not

787
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,439
Speaker 2: raised the price. Five dollars and it gets you in

788
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: for that game or game. So if you want to

789
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 2: go up to Miami on April eighteenth and see four games,

790
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 2: it's five bucks. But then when you buy the ticket,

791
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 2: we only sell them at the gate. We only take cash.

792
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 2: That's a nuance, right, So member cash a thing was

793
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: like a dollar bill. So five bucks get you a

794
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: voucher good for a free view level ticket to a

795
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: Reds game in twenty twenty six this year, and there's

796

799
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 2: you have to watch your high school team or teams

800
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 2: play five dollars.

804
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well the Reds are really kind of this is

805
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 2: Karen Forgus. It's a great idea. The food pantries can't

806
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 2: keep enough peanut butter. It's one of those items. And

807
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: basically we're gonna we're working on some competitions and on

808
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 2: at the March at the Majors, they're going to ask

809
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: everybody inclusive of just fans coming down in the Reds

810
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 2: Tigers game that day to bring a jar or more

811
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: of peanut butter. We're gonna try to set up some

812
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 2: competitions between the school and do something. And you know,

813
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 2: we always you know, we're involved with the Reds Community

814
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 2: Fund with the Jackie Robinson Day. We do it that

815
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: Saturday prior to Major League Baseball celebrating Jackie Robinson Day.

816
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 2: So you know, Karen came up with this. It's a

817
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 2: great idea. It's a version of something that Martin Luther

818
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 2: King Junior came up with it some time ago. And

819
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: really this is something that allows the teams to give back,

820
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 2: you know, we try to do that. The Reds Community

821
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 2: Fund does it so well and we thought that this

822
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 2: should be kind of cool to do that. So more

823
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 2: details coming. We just kind of approached the idea and

824
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: we announced it today where we had a kind of

825
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,800

00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 4: Reds who were the number nine on opening Day on

910
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 4: this date in Red's history. I love this and I

911
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 4: was passed along this from Roger Rule about what happened

912
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 4: on this date in Red's history in nineteen seventy eight.

913
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 4: Roger Rule was the Red's publicity director in nineteen seventy one,

914
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 4: and he had always wondered about the ability to generate

915
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 4: some publicity if the Reds were to ever wear green

916
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 4: on Saint Patrick's Day, and so he suggested to then

917
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 4: Red's general manager Bob Housem nineteen seventy one, no, what

918
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 4: about wearing green socks on Saint Patrick's Day? And Bob Housem,

919
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 4: who was a real, you know, kind of letter of

920
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 4: the law, strict. He didn't like that idea. So seven

921
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 4: years later, Roger Rule, the Red's publicity director, approached Dick Wagner,

922
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 4: with the idea, and Dick Wagner said to him, why

923
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,760
Speaker 4: would we only wear stockings, Why not a full uniform?

924
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 4: And so it was on and they contacted Rowling's Sporting

925
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 4: Goods in Saint Louis. It was two months away from

926
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 4: when they would need him, and the guy it worked

927
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 4: out kept them playing quiet between Roger and Dick and

928
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 4: Red's equipment manager Bernie Stowe, and Dick Wagner liked the

929
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 4: idea of keeping it a secret, so he told Sparky

930
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 4: just to make sure he was prepared for what's gonna happen.

931
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 4: And Sparky confided with a couple of these guys, Bench Rose, Morgan, Perez,

932
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 4: and sever but nobody else knew. So the Reds went

933
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 4: out and wore their usual red uniforms that day for

934
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 4: spring training against the Yankees, took their pregame batting practice,

935
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 4: and then the players go back into the clubhouse and

936
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 4: the players found the green uniforms in their lockers, and

937
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 4: there was a lot of what the blanke any blake,

938
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 4: but what is going on? And it began, and they

939
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 4: wore green that day. Bill Bonham pitched five shutout innings

940
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 4: and that started against the Yankees in the exhibition game.

941
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 4: The only glitch that day they forgot to order green

942
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 4: catching gear, but everything else was green that day. And

943
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 4: I believe the uniforms eventually were donated to the United

944
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 4: Way or maybe used in some form of a charitable

945
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 4: donation when it was all said and done. But that

946
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 4: was this date, nineteen seventy eight. John Keysweater passed that along,

947
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 4: and I passed that along. I very much appreciate that.

948
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 4: And my guy Tony Harris from the Florence Yauls passed

949
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 4: that along as well.

950
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 3: And I love stuff like that, all right.

951
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 4: So the Red's News of the day and more on

952
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 4: this coming up on the inside pitch Terry Francono made

953
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 4: the announcement earlier. Mark Sheldon joined us in the middle

954
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 4: of all of it. It was unfolding. Chase Burns, Rut Ladder,

955
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 4: and Brandon Williamson have all made the team. That means

956
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 4: six starters. They're not going to go with a six

957
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 4: man rotation, but they'll use them in tandem. Those guys

958
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 4: will will be they'll be pitching. Maybe think of a

959
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 4: piggyback start or a tandem start short term right now,

960
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 4: not long term. Also, will Well Benson has been told

961
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 4: he's made the team. Connor Phillips has made the team.

962
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 4: That means there's one more bullpen spot open, and that

963
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 4: means what do we determine there's two more bench spots available.

964
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 4: So Benson has made it, Travino's made it. You need

965
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 4: two other bench spots out of uh, well, at the

966
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 4: top of my head, low Bladet, Hines, and Myers. I

967
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 4: remembered all four of them. So there you go. I

968
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 4: wish I had more time.

969
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:28,320
