1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Pike, Cincyree sixty about Cincinnati from Cincinnati.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 2: This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 3: All right, here we go.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Our number three is off and running. Let's do so

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: the college basketball world from last night. Let's start with

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a local flare. Locally. Not the

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: best night for Kentucky, who suffers a bad loss at

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: home to the Georgia Bulldogs. That game. For Kentucky, it

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: just feels like this team can't figure out consistency at all.

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: Kentucky falls at home eighty six to seventy eight to

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: the Georgia Bulldogs last night. Turnovers a problem. Thirteen turnovers

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: for the Kentucky Wildcats. That is not going to get

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: it done. The margin of air for this team is

14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: starting to dwindle in Sea. When you start to talk

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: about the NCAA Tournament, it's going to be an interesting

16
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: team to watch out for as Kentucky down the stretch.

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: Not only did they turn it over thirteen times, they

18
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: shot just twelve of twenty from the foul line. It's

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: a team that on Saturday was playing Florida for a

20
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: chance to get the number one or to move into

21
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,919
Speaker 1: first in the SEC standings. They have now slid well

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: below that, and now they get ready for a trip

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: to Auburn. That game happens on Saturday for the Louisville Cardinals.

24
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: Not a great one last night as well for Louisville.

25
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: They fall on the road to SMU eighty ninety five

26
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: to eighty five. They get ready on Saturday to host

27
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: now Georgia Tech. The Xavier Musketeers, who will talk about

28
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: in just a moment, lost last night as well, but

29
00:01:54,440 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: the one survivor the team last night seemingly locally and

30
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: and nationally, On a night where we saw a lot

31
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: of top twenty five losses across college basketball perdue the

32
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: number sevent team lost, the number nine Nebraska Cornhuskers lost

33
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: to Iowa, Number thirteen Texas Tech lost at Arizona State.

34
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: North Carolina got bludgeoned at NC State. Saint Louis lost

35
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: on the road to Rhode Island in Wisconsin, beaten like

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: a Grand Canyon mule at the hands of the Buckeyes.

37
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: That not the case for the Miami RedHawks, who beat

38
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: UMass last night to get to twenty six. And oh

39
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: that accompanied with a lot of those other teams losing,

40
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: I would expect Miami to get into the top twenty.

41
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: When the next rankings come out, Miami only trailed by

42
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: two in the game, they led by as many as ten.

43
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: It was a very good, I think contested game for

44
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: the most part. But at the same time, Miami continues

45
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: to take care of business. They move to twenty six

46
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: and oh on the season. They get ready to take

47
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: on Bowling green Back at Malett Hall this coming weekend.

48
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: If they are undefeated, going to Ohio to finish the season.

49
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: Goodness, that will be must cy TV.

50
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what's crazy is Mo mentioned yesterday Akron and

51
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: the MAC only has one loss. Yeah, so it's not

52
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: like their margin for air is exceptionally large. They've still

53
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: got to worry about a MAC regular season championship because

54
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: of the pressure that Akron is continuing to put on

55
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: the Miami RedHawks.

56
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: Did you see that Travis Steele was asked last night

57
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: if he's ready to put on a speedo. Oh, you

58
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: said he needs some time to get in shape for that.

59
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: I get that, which you know, Travis was just here

60
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. He's in fine. Shit, I

61
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: thought he was fine, But a speedo will humble even

62
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: the best of us.

63
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: You ain't kiing. I feel like you ain't kidding, But

64
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: I hope he does it. That would be so funny. Yeah.

65
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: The other local game last night was the Xavier Musketeers,

66
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: who on the road at Villanova, fell in another overtime game,

67
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: this time ninety two to eighty nine to the Villanova Wildcats.

68
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: It was a game in which both teams built nine

69
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: point leads, and both teams at multiple times throughout the

70
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: evening gave away those nine point leads. For the Xavier Musketeers,

71
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: they shot it better than Villanova fifty one percent from

72
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: the field forty four percent for Villanova. Xavier was forty

73
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: three percent from three. Villanova was thirty five percent, Xavier

74
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: eighty five percent from the foul line Villanova sixty four percent.

75
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: Xavier out rebounded the Villanova Wildcats. Xavier had more assist

76
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: than the Villanova Wildcats. The issue for Xavier came with

77
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: the turnover numbers sixteen turnovers, which resulted in twenty two

78
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: points for Villanova. Villanova also won in points in the

79
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: paint and they come away with a ninety two to

80
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: victory over the Xavier Musketeers. Again, just another heartbreak of

81
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: a loss for Xavier as they hosted Villanova at the

82
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: Centas Center last night. They will turn around on Saturday

83
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: and head on the road to play Butler and then

84
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: another road trip to take on Providence, and then they

85
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: return home for Georgetown Seaton Hall, and traveled to Villanova

86
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: to finish out the season last night as they've been

87
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: for much of the season. Xavier led by Trey Carroll

88
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: twenty eight points on eleven of fourteen shooting to go

89
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: along with ten rebounds for Trey Carroll, who was put

90
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: together an awesome season at Xavier this year for the Musketeers,

91
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: but a loss nonetheless. Here is what Travis Steele had.

92
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not Travis Steele. He gotta win. He's gonna

93
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: wear a speed out.

94
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: Did you see what Trey Carroll posted on his Twitter

95
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: last night? Uh huh after the game. Oh, he said,

96
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Wow it made me feel bad.

97
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has, he's he's been unreal. Yeah, he has

98
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: been awesome this year for Savior and.

99
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: To Xavior fans credit, they're all, you know, responding saying,

100
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: hey man, you got nothing to apologize for, Like, yeah,

101
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: you know, you've been awesome for us this year, but

102
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes we think that it doesn't mean anything

103
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: to these guys.

104
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

105
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is cool to at least be reminded that

106
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: Trey Carroll was bothered that they didn't win last night.

107
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Savior falls to thirteen and thirteen on the year

108
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: five and ten in the Big East. Here is what

109
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Richard Patino had to say after last night's loss.

110
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 5: Proud of the effort from our guys. There's too many

111
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 5: crucial turnovers down the stretch that we just set some

112
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 5: empty possessions. I mean, we're passing the ball at well

113
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 5: twenty six assists, shot fifty one percent, but just some

114
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 5: very very uncharacteristic turnovers down the stretch, you know, very

115
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 5: just you know, devastated locker room in there, but they care.

116
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 5: They're still battlce so very very problem. So we'll get

117
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 5: my day off tomorrow, we'll get back to work thirty set.

118
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 5: What's the final step between just being confetive in these

119
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 5: games and finishing later as they're not turned rep Yeah,

120
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 5: I mean, there was just some really uncharacteristic turnovers down

121
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 5: the stretch.

122
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: Richard, what did you.

123
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 5: Think was the key to hanging with them getting back

124
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 5: in the game, especially in the second half, they go

125
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 5: up I guess eight or nine, and then you guys

126
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 5: come back and make it a close game. Get I

127
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 5: thought our bench did a great job today. Roddy and

128
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 5: Isaiah especially, they came in ready to go. You know,

129
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 5: Philip was a little bit of a funk offensively, Isaiah

130
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 5: provided some great minutes for US. Roddy seven rebounds, five

131
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 5: timely points. But and then Trey really I go it,

132
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 5: you know, I mean twenty eight points. I don't know

133
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: really have the first half, but he made some big

134
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 5: time plays.

135
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: Ali shretch.

136
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 5: Do you look at them or did you know coming

137
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 5: in there's even if they start slowly shooting tree pointers

138
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 5: and converting them, they've got to keep on shooting them.

139
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 5: And yeah, they're one of the best point shooting teams

140
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 5: in the country. H percentage of points that they get

141
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 5: from threes like top thirty ish, so they shoot a

142
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 5: lot of threes. Could Donnie mentioned one of your recent

143
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 5: cook just shows that guys have started digging up the

144
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 5: transfer portal already with so many close games coming down

145
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 5: to the final possessions. You guys being right there, does

146
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 5: anything stand out to you as as needs when when

147
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 5: you look to the portal and that's the I mean,

148
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 5: I respect the question, but I'm not thinking about transfer

149
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 5: portal right now. I mean, I'm just thinking about, you know,

150
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 5: getting these guys better. I mean, we're certainly they did

151
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 5: big picture and all those things, but uh, everybody could

152
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 5: walk in at the end of the season and tell

153
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 5: me they were leaving, So there's nothing really to do.

154
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: I think a little bit early to be asking about

155
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: the transfer portal, at least after a loss.

156
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: Also, I got scared there. Feel like AI was taken

157
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: over there. It did feel like that. I don't know

158
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: what was going on.

159
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: See, we say one thing about it and now it

160
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: creeps into the show.

161
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: Just the Yeah, I was a little bit scared right there,

162
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 2: speaking of were also head Yeah, I just want to

163
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: say before we get to what we're about to get to.

164
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: Good job Richard Patino for answering a question that he didn't.

165
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: Like respectfully, and that's how you do it right. Yes,

166
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: I respect the question, but I'm not thinking about that

167
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: right now. That wasn't the case last night in East

168
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: Lansing when UCLA was beaten eighty two to fifty nine

169
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: at the hands of Michigan State. Now for UCLA, it's

170
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: not been a banner week in the State of Michigan.

171
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: They lost eighty six to fifty six to Michigan and

172
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: then followed that up with an eighty two to fifty

173
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: nine loss at the hands of Michigan State. UCLA now

174
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: nine and six in the Big Ten. They are seventeen

175
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: and nine overall. Last night, Mick Cronin ejected one of

176
00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: his own players, Stephen Jamerson. Jamerson was chasing down an

177
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: offensive player from Michigan State and he committed a borderline

178
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Austin hardfoul, but it was not deemed a hard enough

179
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: foul to eject Jamerson from the game until Mick Cronan

180
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: decided to eject his own player from the game. Mick

181
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: Cronan grabs Steven Jamerson, he walks him to the end

182
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: of the bench, he signals to a coach, and he

183
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: ejects his own player. It was something after the game

184
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: that tom Izzo even joked about and saying it felt

185
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: like Mick thought that that should be upgraded to a

186
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: flagrant too, and he did it by himself, and I've

187
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: never seen anything like that, but he kind of laughed

188
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: at all and said, that's just Mick.

189
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: Tom Izzo is so good at landing those kind of underlying,

190
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: devastating blows.

191
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: Yep, let's just Mick. It was remarkable. It was something

192
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: in which you really just don't see now. The student

193
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: section at Michigan State. I believe they're coined the is zone,

194
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: you know, Tom Izzo, the zone student section. Well, Mick

195
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: Cronin was asked about the student section after the game,

196
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: and apparently Mick Cronan does not take lightly to being

197
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: asked about student sections. This is the interaction with Mick

198
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: Cronan with a reporter after his loss the hands of

199
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: Michigan State.

200
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 6: The student section, Channing Hooker's name, I could give a

201
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,800

00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 7: student section. I coached U c l A. I don't

213
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,000

222
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 4: Let's listen again.

223
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 6: In the student section, channing Booker's name, I could give

Speaker 4: Give you, interrupts the follow up, yep.

229
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 8: Hey, kudos for your worst question I've ever been asked.

230
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: All right, all right, I'll take it. Yeah.

231
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: Like, and there's a backstory to this. There's reasoning this

232
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: was being asked. Xavier Booker plays for u c l A.

233
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: Right now, all right, we're following this. Xavier Booker, everage seven,

234
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: He averages seven points a game for U c l A.

235
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: Prior to this season. Xavier Booker spent the twenty three

236
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: to twenty four and the twenty four to twenty five

237
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: seasons at Michigan State. He didn't play a ton. He

238
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: played nine and twelve minutes respectively in back to back years.

239
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: The student section last night did not boo Xavier Booker.

240
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: In fact, Austin tom Izzo referenced how the student section

241
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: handled it respectfully after the game. That is what the

242
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: reporter was getting at. It wasn't just a weird hey

243
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: tell me about the student section. It was, Hey, the

244
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: Michigan State student section applauded Xavier Booker, a player on

245
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: your team who spent time at Michigan State. He wasn't

246
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: trying to be disrespectful with the question. It was they

247
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: treated one of your players with respect. They applauded him.

248
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: And that was Mick Cronin's response to it.

249
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: Do you really think I care about the other?

250
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: About the way his eyes like narrow?

251
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 4: And you could just tell, like.

252
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: Play the rest of it out, because I guarantee the

253
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: faces of the others in the room when he's like

254
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: everyone else heard it, I couldn't imagine what's going on.

255
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 8: Did you should take it the preparation? Do you really

256
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 8: think I care about the other?

257
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 9: About everyone else heard it? Yes, you were everybody's standing

258
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 9: here listening. Everybody this is on camera. They can hear you,

259
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 9: and I answered the question. I could give a rat's

260
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 9: ask about the other team students section.

261
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: I coach U c l A.

262
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 7: I don't care about in Michigan State students who cares.

263
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 10: Like.

264
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: It's funny, but it's also sad because this is all

265
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: I know about Mick Cronin, and here's that he is

266
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: just a miserable guy.

267
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. When his teams are winning and

268
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: they've won a lot and he's had success at U

269
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: c l A. When his teams are winning, you just

270
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: kind of overlook that, yeah, and you just say, oh,

271
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: that's Mick when you're when you're pulling this and it's

272
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: not the first time this year that there's been a

273
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: Mick Cronin press conference that's been under the spotlight when

274
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: you're losing, it does not sit nearly as well with folks.

275
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: The delivery of are you raising your voice at me?

276
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: Unbelievable with the eyes kind of narrowing. Gosh, that is

277
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: it's funny as hell. Chef's kiss, It's funny as hell.

278
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: But it is sad that this is This is Mick

279
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: Cronan's reputation, right.

280
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: It is, it's right now. It is remarkable remarkable to

281
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: see and to hear. By the way mention Kentucky's loss

282
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: last night, according to Joe Lenardi, that pushes Kentucky from

283
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: right now what would be considered in the tournament to

284
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: a team that should be in no longer a lock

285
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: right now based on Kentucky's recent track record.

286
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: Has there been anything new when it comes to uh,

287
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: the Buckeyes.

288
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: What does it say about Ohio State. We'll give me

289
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: one second here, let me jump to the let me

290
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: jump the big ten. Work to do Ohio State.

291
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: Okay, we have a caller into the hotline here. I

292
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: would imagine that this person wants to talk about Mick Cronin.

293
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: He joins US now. It's Chad Brindle from Bearcat Journal

294
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: dot com dot com.

295
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: Hello, Chad, guys, I just wanted Chad.

296
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: Why are you raising your voice? Yeah?

297
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: Are you raising your voice in US?

298
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 10: No? I'm just loud.

299
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm not yelling.

300
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 10: That's just the way I know. I want the record

301
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 10: to state that I am now no longer in the

302
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 10: running for asking Mick Cronin the worst question he's ever been.

303
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: How many of those spots have you held in the past,

304
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: Like if there was a top ten. How many do

305
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: you think you were responsible for?

306
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 10: Remember I started Mick Crona's first year, and Mick loves

307
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 10: to initiate young reporters, we'll put it that way. So

308
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 10: there were multiple times over the first like four or

309
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 10: five years that I was enemy number one after a loss,

310
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 10: and I eventually just got to the point that after

311
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 10: a loss, like I'd ask the first question and then

312
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 10: I'd just let everybody else take the heat. I do

313
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 10: remember asking him one time, like I phrased the question

314
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 10: as like fans are talking about da da da da da,

315
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 10: and I got the same like, I don't give it.

316
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 10: I don't care what fans think. You're asking me about

317
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 10: the fans my job. So went basketball games Cincinnati, and

318
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 10: I caught his ire more than a few times. But

319
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 10: it's good to know that now I'm at least second. Yeah,

320
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 10: on the worst questions he's ever been asked.

321
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: Lift, Now, what did you think of that reporter kind

322
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: of defending himself a little bit?

323
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 4: Have you ever done that? And what was your thought

324
00:17:59,440 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: on that?

325
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 10: Yeah? Oh, I've tried to come back when he's mistaken

326
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 10: what I was saying. He does not have that that

327
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 10: is that is not going to go over well, and

328
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 10: you are going to get the full raft of mc cronin.

329
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 10: It is some of those press conferences we would all

330
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 10: just sit there waiting for him to come in, like

331
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 10: all right, here get it tonight, here we go that

332
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 10: that man, that man does not lose.

333
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 3: Well, no, nope.

334
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 10: Is he trying to get fired.

335
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 4: I can relate to that.

336
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: I think it's like a twenty two million dollar firing

337
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: if that was the case. So perhaps, I mean, maybe he.

338
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 10: Saw what happened to Kansas State and was like, hold

339
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 10: my beer, do.

340
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,399

374
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,840

00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: But the season begins, and I believe Tommy g is

377
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: gonna be on with Moe this afternoon.

378
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 11: We're here, We're there. I'm smelling with your stepping. Okay,

379
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 11: let's do this. I believe we have some Hunter Green

380
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 11: audio from spring training. Hunter Hunter Green was was under

381
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 11: the microscope a lot last year.

382
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: Right, awesome start to the year. Then the injury happened

383
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: and then delayed return from the injury, and then he

384
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: gets the ball in his hands at LA and in

385
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: Game one. It's just it's a guy we talk a

386
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: lot about, right, and there's just a lot that comes

387
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: with Hunter Green, and no one is arguing. When he's

388
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: healthy and at his best, he's one of the best

389
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: pitchers in the game. The question is can he make

390
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: the amount of starts and pitch the amount of innings

391
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: necessary for him to have a big impact on where

392
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: this season can go. We have some Hunter Green speaking

393
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: at Red spring training.

394
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: I want to give credit real quick to wear see

395
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: this is from Jeremy Row and the guys at Fox nineteen.

396
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 2: So they get out of the hot tub to do

397
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: this and then back to the hot and there sit

398
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 2: down interview with Hunter Green. You'll hear Jeremy's question at

399
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: the beginning. In Hunter's response, it's about a minute and

400
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: eight seconds long.

401
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 5: You're a star in this game, so you deal with

402
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: weird rumors of the off season. It felt like at

403
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 5: one point you wanted to clear.

404
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 3: The ear on some of those rumors.

405
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 4: Why was that important for you?

406
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I addressed this early on.

407
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: I know of you guys.

408
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 12: I'm sure saw the article. I think people got confused

409
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 12: with trade rumors and to me that I never cared

410
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 12: about trade rumors.

411
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 3: That's part of the game.

412
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 4: Can't control it.

413
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 12: Everybody, especially with social media now, believes they have a

414
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 12: platform and everybody wants to listen to them. So everyone's

415
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 12: got opinions. But my issue was defamation of character.

416
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 4: I didn't like that.

417
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 12: I don't like false narratives and I don't like you

418
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 12: guys can cut that out if you want. But people

419
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 12: that know me and that have been around me, they

420
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 12: know my character and there was a comment and some

421
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 12: things that went out that I've always taken the high road.

422
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 12: I've always tried to be professional, but there's a line

423
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 12: that's crossed, and it was a different environment trust me

424
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 12: to be handled a lot differently than it's been handled

425
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 12: so far. But I got to be professional. A lot

426
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 12: of eyes on me. But my biggest issue was defamation

427
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 12: of characters. So that had to be addressed.

428
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 2: And you can tell he's ready to fight while watching

429
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: the clip.

430
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: It still doesn't sit right with him. Defamation of characters.

431
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: That's a major accusation. It is, and the whole If

432
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: this wasn't where we're at, this will be handled a

433
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: lot differently.

434
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 3: I get what he's insinuating.

435
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 2: I didn't love that line. Yeah, I thought that maybe

436
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 2: crossed a little too much. And hopefully this is the

437
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 2: end of it for Hunter. But I do appreciate his

438
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: candidness and his honesty. And you know, I listen, that

439
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 2: audio clip is a lot better than you know. Hey,

440
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 2: we just got to work hard and stay together. Sure

441
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: like it's good to I've always appreciated that Hunter is honest.

442
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 2: There's been times in the past where I haven't loved

443
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: his attitude. I haven't loved that after he got rocked,

444
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 2: he didn't talk. There's stuff like that that I don't

445
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 2: love about Hunter, but it's pretty cool. I think a

446
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: pissed off chip on his shoulder Hunter Green would be

447
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 2: good for their heads.

448
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: Sure, I hope so. ESPN dot com. David Schoenfield handed

449
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: out his final off season grades going into the heart

450
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: of spring training. For every Major League Baseball team, handed

451
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: out a couple a's. The Boston Red Sox, the Dodgers,

452
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: the Tigers, the Mariners all got a's. He gave the

453
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: Reds Austin a cus, and he cited the following. Though

454
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: the Reds will enter twenty twenty six with the highest

455
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: payroll in club history, this is mostly a reshuffling of

456
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: the deck chairs, especially in the bullpen. There is the

457
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: one year deal with Suarez, who should serve as the

458
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: regular DH, where the Reds ranked last year twenty second

459
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: and ops in times for twenty first and home runs. Suarez,

460
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: of course hit forty nine last year, but the fifteen

461
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: million dollar deal he received suggest there wasn't much belief

462
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: across the league that he can do it again. Shonfield

463
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: also says that A Day and Dane Myers will join

464
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: a crowded outfield picture, but one that doesn't project well.

465
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: Twenty fourth and fangrafts war in left field, twenty fourth

466
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: in center, and thirtieth in right. The Reds will be

467
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: fun to watch with their rotation, Sal Stewart, healthy, La

468
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: Daily Cruz, but to return to playoffs if it's possible,

469
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: the Reds did not improve their chance as much. What

470
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: grade would you have given the Reds after all the

471
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: dust has settled in the offseason, because I would have

472
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: been around the sea.

473
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say a C plus.

474
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 3: C minus is what they gave him.

475
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the bullpen stuff. I've talked before. We've

476
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: talked about the Pierce Johnson guy. I worry a little

477
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: bit about Suarez just because of the swing and miss

478
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: and it's hard to keep hitting forty homers. Y.

479
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: What do you make What do you make of the

480
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: idea that a one year, fifteen million dollar deal could

481
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: say what the rest of the league thought about Suarez?

482
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: Do you think there just wasn't much of a market

483
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: out there? I know the Pirates were in. We talked

484
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, I think it can say something for sure.

485
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: I mean the Pirates were looking for the same thing

486
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: the Reds were. That's why they went and got Ozuna,

487
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: a very similar player, although probably a better all around

488
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: hitter than Suarez, but a very similar player. You know

489
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: what you're getting defensively, he's just not not good enough,

490
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: so that I think drives the price down where you

491
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: can really only put him at DH. I do appreciate, though,

492
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you read this from Charlie, that

493
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: Suarez is the first guy there and he's working really

494
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: hard at first base, So that might be a little

495
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: bit of an idea as to what the plan is.

496
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: I think it makes the Nathaniel Low thing even more

497
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: interesting and times confounding. But you know the fact that

498
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: he's there and he's not just hey, I'm gonna I'm

499
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna swing the back, hang out and hit homers all day,

500
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: and he's working his butt off to try to improve

501
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: his defense, and the trickle down effect that has on

502
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: everybody else. I think the biggest Suarez impact won't be

503
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: on the field, It'll be in the locker room. And

504
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, Charlie also reported this morning there's a lot

505
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: fewer players than what normally is at training camp or

506
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: spring training, meaning it's a closer group, it's a more

507
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: tight knit group, a lot of the roles are more defined.

508
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: I just wonder if that comfortability and the relaxed nature

509
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: of now a year under Tito and Suarez being in

510
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: the clubhouse. I wonder if that alleviates some of the

511
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: pressure of winning, especially after you got to the playoffs

512
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: last year. Sure, and if just being in a relaxed

513
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: and more comfortable environment can allow them to play better.

514
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 4: Think about it.

515
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: In any any life, or any any job, any world

516
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: that you're in, if you're more comfortable in your environment,

517
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: that's more conducive to being productive.

518
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 4: And I hope that's the case with the Reds.

519
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: I did think it was. It's interesting and we'll talk

520
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: to Charlie about this. On Friday, he talked about TJ

521
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: a Intone trying to make this forty man roster and

522
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: what he could bring to the team. I think that's

523
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: an interesting name when you talk about kind of that

524
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: last bullpen spot to become available. We'll spend more time

525
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: on this tomorrow. But off the top of your head, Austin,

526
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: outside of Eli Da La Cruz, who I think is

527
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: a top ten shortstop in baseball, do the Reds have

528
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: another top ten player at a respective position.

529
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: Well, we did confirm yesterday that Amelia Pagan is a

530
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: top ten closer.

531
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: And I think Hunter Green if he makes all the starts,

532
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: if he avoids the injury. I think he's a top

533
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: ten starting pitcher.

534
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you. I would flirt with Andrew Rabbott

535
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: in that spot, but you go up down the roster.

536
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 2: Stevenson not a top ten catchero the National Spencer. Steer

537
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: could be, but he plays so many positions. McClean, no

538
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: Brian Hayes, no Benson.

539
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 4: What about freedol Fredo is interesting.

540
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's top ten, but maybe top

541
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: fifteen across Major League Baseball.

542
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: He's closer to a top fifteen. Yeah, he's not an

543
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: elite defensive player. He doesn't hit for a ton of power,

544
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: but he did have what fourteen homers last year. Yeah,

545
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: he's the best bunter in baseball.

546
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 4: Oh, there is value to that.

547
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 3: Made some good plays in center.

548
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: I think the consistency that he brought last year could

549
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: maybe crack the top.

550
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 4: A lot of teams would benefit from that.

551
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: Let's take a break, let's come back, a brief touch

552
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: and go, and then we'll get to Moeger for quick hits.

553
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: Still ahead, Sincy three to sixty, ESPN fifteen to thirty,

554
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Sports.

555
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 13: Station WCKWI, Cincinnati, Welcome back sincey three sixty ESPN fifteen

556
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 13: to thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

557
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: Did you see that the NFL announced another participant in

558
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: the International Series last morning?

559
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: I did not.

560
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: So not only are the Rams and forty nine Ers

561
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: going to play in Australia, but the forty nine Ers

562
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: are also going to play in Mexico City. Wow, been

563
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: a couple of years since the NFL was in Mexico.

564
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: They will return to Mexico City. The Niners are a

565
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: popular team in Mexico, They've played there in the past.

566
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: But San Francisco is going to have both a road

567
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: and a home game in the International Series. I believe

568
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: the home game is in Mexico City.

569
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: I also saw that the Lions, Falcons, and Commanders are

570
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,719
Speaker 1: all expected to host international games next season.

571
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 4: That's correct. The Bengals travel to two of those.

572
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: Our guy John Shearon mentioned in a tweet that the

573
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: Bengals are at the Falcons and Commanders.

574
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 4: I would really, really, really, really really.

575
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: Prefer that they play the Commanders not the Falcons, because

576
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: I want to go to Atlanta to watch the Bengals. Okay,

577
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: that'll work because I have family down there and you know,

578
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 2: free place to stay.

579
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: That makes it a little easier.

580
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

581
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: In the atl Yeah, let's take our final break. When

Speaker 4: How are we doing? Easy? Yeah?

594
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: Is there a reason you're raising your voice?

595
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 14: No? I just I don't want you to get mad.

596
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 3: Why are you raising your voice?

597
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 14: I'm just gonna speak in a normal monotone sort of

598
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 14: just low key, because I don't I don't want to

599
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 14: get it. I want to get accused of raising my voice.

600
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 14: Just figured i'd go even keel.

601
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 3: What a fun night of college basketball last night?

602
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 14: It really was. It was a fun night because you

603
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 14: had all the Miami hot takes out there because people

604
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 14: are mad that the RedHawks never lose. You had Mick

605
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 14: Cronin popping off.

606
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 4: At a reporter.

607
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 14: You had Fred Hoiberg, the coach at Nebraska, rightfully so

608
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 14: snatching the phone out of the way of an idiot

609
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 14: who ran out out of the floor, and then you

610
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 14: had actual games.

611
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 4: It was fun.

612
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Kentucky loses a tough one, Kentucky's Louisville loses

613
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: a tough one. It it feels like just the consistency

614
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: of college basketball this year's every night for Miami exactly.

615
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 3: It's been the most consistent story in all of basketball.

616
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 14: Like I watched that game and they took UMass's best

617
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 14: punch multiple times, and that just you know. I was

618
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 14: watching after the UK game the the Scott Van Pelt

619
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 14: Sports Center and he's like, this kind of felt like

620
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 14: the game they were gonna lose. Yeah, a lot of hype.

621
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 14: You know, everybody's paying attention to them. They go in

622
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 14: the road, they're playing against a team that nearly beat them.

623
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 14: They don't defend all that well. That is Miami's achilles heel,

624
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 14: and they they just offensively had an answer every single time.

625
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 14: And I think that's what's that's what gets lost here. Like,

626
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 14: if you want to talk about their schedule, we can

627
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 14: do that. I have a long Twitter threat about how

628
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 14: I think Miami should be measured because I think we

629
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 14: should use their record against the points spread, which has

630
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,959
Speaker 14: been exceptional. But like, okay, fine, if you like basketball,

631
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 14: don't you like the teams to do things at a

632
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 14: high level. Say what you want about the talent they have.

633
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 14: Do they have NBA players?

634
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 10: No?

635
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 14: But they play together, they execute at a really high level.

636
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 14: They space the floor beautifully, they have multiple shooters. Like,

637
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 14: if you like just forget diving into metrics and coming

638
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 14: up with.

639
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 4: The latest hot take.

640
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 14: If you like good basketball, I'm not here to tell

641
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 14: you should get an EESPN plus subscription to watch all

642
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 14: the Miami games. But if you just like good basketball,

643
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 14: how do you not like Miami. It's like I talk

644
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 14: all the time about how much I like Houston. Some

645
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 14: don't understand why, and it's because I like how they play.

646
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 14: I like how Miami plays. As a fan of the sport,

647
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 14: if you have not watched them, I would encourage you

648
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 14: to watch them, and I think you'll like what you see.

649
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 14: We can debate where they should be in relation to

650
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 14: the NCAA tournament. If they lose a game in the

651
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 14: MAC tournament or if they lose one game in the

652
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 14: regular season. Those are fair discussions to have, but I

653
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 14: feel like when we do that, what gets lost is

654
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 14: how good they are, a really good offensive team. Now

655
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 14: they're fan hard is to win? How hard did his

656
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 14: win every single game? And by the way, this was

657
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 14: my point last night on social media. They're seventeen and

658
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 14: six against the spread. The equalizer in sports is the

659
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 14: point spread. It levels the playing field. So with a

660
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 14: level playing field, Miami is better than almost every team

661
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 14: in the country.

662
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you see it every night, teams that slip

663
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: up against teams that they shouldn't lose to.

664
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 3: Miami's not done that.

665
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 4: Texas Tech.

666
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: Last night, Texas Tech, you want to talk about potential

667
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: for disaster. JT toppin injured waiting on an update there.

668
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: If it was me, regardless of what the injury says,

669
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: for at least a week exactly, I would be careful

670
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: with Peterson for Kansas after get them some reps tonight

671
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: exactly focus on Houston load management.

672
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 3: Load management.

673
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: But again last night, Saint Louis team that a lot

674
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: of people talk about they lose on the road to

675
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: a Rhode Island team that was five and seven in

676
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: the A ten. North Carolina got boat raced last night.

677
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it happens to everyone except Miami at this point.

678
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: It also happened again last night in tough fashion to

679
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: the Xavier Musketeers, who fall in overtime in another breaking loss,

680
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: another game where Trey Carroll was awesome to Villanova.

681
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 14: He was awesome until he wasn't. Yeah, And like that's

682
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 14: why you feel for him, because he was the reason

683
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 14: why they were in the game. He's also one of

684
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 14: the reasons why they were after the game, Yeah, And

685
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 14: which is fine. He had no reason to apologize. He

686
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 14: made basketball mistakes in a basketball game. I think it's

687
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 14: fair to wonder, and we'll talk about this with Rick

688
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 14: brooring down the stretch in a situation like that, do

689
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 14: you want the offense to kind of go through him?

690
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 14: But do you want him handling the ball like He

691
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 14: averages two and a half turnovers a game, second worst

692
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 14: in the Big East. So last night was an extreme

693
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 14: example of how bad he can be with the basketball.

694
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 14: You also saw all the good things that he can do.

695
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 14: But in that in that sequence, like I can't have

696
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 14: him handling it. I can have him catching it, Sure,

697
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 14: I can have him facilitating. Maybe I can't have him

698
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 14: bringing the ball up. And it's kind of what what

699
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 14: what killed him last night? But like you think about

700
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 14: Miami is like I used to watch UC teams under

701
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 14: mc cronin and Bob in the Conference USA and in

702
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 14: the American Athletic Conference, which at times weren't great leagues,

703
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 14: and even good teams would stub their toes sometimes. It's

704
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 14: what we hated about the AAC where he had some

705
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 14: of those bottom feeders at the bottom of the conference

706
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 14: where the metrics just killed you. But they would go

707
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 14: on the road and lose to Eastern Carolina and you

708
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 14: would just shrug your shoulders and go, this is what

709
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 14: happens in conference play. You lose on the road teams

710
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 14: amped up to BEAJA. That has not happened to Miami,

711
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 14: and they have taken some some hard punchers from teams

712
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 14: Buffalo Kent State last night, UMass.

713
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: What else you got coming up today?

714
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:37,479
Speaker 4: On the show?

715
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 14: FC Cincinnati plays tonight. Tom gleat her voice of the

716
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 14: time is gonna join us. They're in the Dominican Republic.

717
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 14: I'm hopeful that maybe Pat Noonan brings me some cigars.

718
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 14: Speaking the cigars, Anthony Munios is now making cigars. I

719
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 14: saw that I need some cigars. We had our guy

720
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 14: Derek Carty on the show yesterday, and you may disagree

721
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 14: with Derek Carr. There's a there's my point of view

722
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 14: sort of runs counter to Derek's overall point of view.

723
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 14: What I don't understand is, I think there's two things

724
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 14: about this one. I think people are forgetting the perspective

725
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 14: he was writing from. He was writing from a betting perspective.

726
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 14: What I don't understand when you're reading a betting column

727
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 14: is why you're anti data. Like I don't know about you,

728
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 14: but when I make a wager, I kind of like

729
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 14: to know stuff. So we're gonna spend some time on

730
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 14: that will make the case for the Miami RedHawks. One

731
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 14: more day maybe of Trey Hendrickson, and I'll tell you

732
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 14: the sports talk debate that we did not have. Maybe

733
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 14: you guys did because this was in the wheelhouse of

734
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 14: cheesy sports talk radio host Tony Clark. The MLBPA guy

735
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 14: is out because he was apparently fooling around with his

736
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 14: sister in law. How many sports talk radio shows in

737
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 14: this country did the lit'll pull a question brought to

738
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 14: you by Steve's autobody, would you would you sleep with

739
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 14: your sister to law? How many shows around the country

740
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 14: did that topic? It wasn't you, guys, me, I don't

741
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 14: think it was Lance. Lance has time tonight. He wasn't

742
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 14: on last night.

743
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 4: Off to beating path topic.

744
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, while we have a minute.

745
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 14: Well we have a minute off the beating path topic.

746
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 14: Love these guys. So your sister in law's kind of cute?

747
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 14: Would you maybe tonight? I don't know, after red hot Stove,

748
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 14: we'll see.

749
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: Also, how about bischelball last night? You see baseball getting

750
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: a top ten win.

751
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 14: They go to Auburn and win, Mogan War Eagle. It

752
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 14: just means more, you know. I put this on social

753
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 14: media many many, many many years ago. We did like

754
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 14: an imprompt too, like ESPN night at a UC baseball game.

755
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 4: I think it might have been it might have been.

756
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 14: Before it was esp I think it might have been

757
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 14: Homer at the point, but I think we might have

758
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 14: called it itsweet up and like we had folks, So

759
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 14: could we do one of those?

760
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 3: Why not?

761
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 4: I went to a game last year. I had so

762
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 4: much fun. They're fun there. It was so cool.

763
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 14: What's fun about college baseball? Like the games really move. Also,

764
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 14: the games are really imperfect. Also, when it rains, the

765
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 14: players have to pull the tarp on the field.

766
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think they should be implement that at the

767
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: big league level.

768
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 14: Oh well, if we have a lockout and then teams

769
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 14: are going to be like, sorry, we have to let

770
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 14: more people go. You know, you'll you'll have teams they're like,

771
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 14: you know what, when we come back, we're not going

772
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 14: to have a groundscrew because of the lockout. It cost

773
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 14: us all our money. So guess what, the players are

774
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 14: going to have to pull the tarp out onto the field.

775
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: What'd you make about Hunter Greens if it all kind

776
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: of defamation character because he was defaked. He ain't playing

777
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: a different sport to handle it differently.

778
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,959
Speaker 14: So I think Mark Sheldon, who wrote a piece last

779
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 14: year that sort of was at the center of all this,

780
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 14: I think Mark is taking a lot of unfair criticism.

781
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 14: I think if you read his piece and you understand

782
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 14: what his role is, he was writing from the perspective

783
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 14: of somebody who's really well sourced, and he was essentially

784
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 14: conveying what he's hearing from people that he covers. What

785
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 14: he was hearing from the people that he covers is

786
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 14: exasperation with Hunter Green. Hunter Green was telling those people

787
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 14: pound sand look, he's got to get through a full

788
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 14: big league season health right.

789
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 4: Like it's it's the.

790
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: Too, like not talking after you get sheld in a game.

791
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: Little things like that, You've got it. It's just part

792
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: of the role.

793
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 14: Completely fair. But I think I always defer to the athlete.

794
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 14: Athlete knows his or her body. And if Hunter Green

795
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 14: says cool, Mri says, I'm good, guess what. I ain't

796
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 14: there yet, but he ain't there yet. I always defer

797
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 14: to the athlete. I wish more people would have done

798
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 14: that with Hunter Green. Good for him for speaking up.

799
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 14: I hope this is a new version of Hunter Green

800
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 14: where he's maybe like Baseball's Mick Cronin.

801
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: Now you started, calm. It feels like you're raising your

802
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: voice a little bit now.

803
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: Sorry.

804
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: Also, Patrick Mahomes, for the fourth straight year, restructured his deal.

805
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 14: Cool.

806
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 3: Can we do something like that?

807
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 4: You want to restructure your deal?

808
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 3: You already? Yes, let me tell you one thing.

809
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: Structure, the gluttonous structure that's a d structuring.

810
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 4: There is some restructuring going on.

811
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, thinking out loud to get some destructuring. Uh Mulllagger's next,
