What did you learn? 122 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 19: Honestly, I just learned kind of like the everyday life 123 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 19: in regards to uh in the big leagues. 124 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 18: Obviously the minor league. 125 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 19: The big leagues is different, not only from a playing aspect, 126 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 19: but also just the kind of weekly basis. I mean, 127 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 19: kind of when you're in the minor league, you play 128 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 19: Tuesday through Sunday, you're in one area for a lot 129 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 19: a more extended period of time, and then when you 130 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 19: get to the big leagues, now you're kind of in 131 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 19: three three three days in three out, three days and 132 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 19: three outs. So I kind of just learned like the 133 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 19: everyday life of a big leaguer and experienced it for myself. Obviously, 134 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 19: I have great mentors that have guided me but you 135 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 19: never really known to you experience it yourself. So it 136 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 19: was a great learning lesson for me. And obviously playing 137 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 19: in the playoffs that's what we all want. We all 138 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 19: want to be in the playoffs, and not only be 139 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 19: in the playoffs, but we want to go win it all. 140 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 19: So it was it was a great experience for sure, 141 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 19: and definitely learning lessons and another tool I can put 142 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 19: in my tool bag. 143 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 18: So I was super excited and learned a lot. 144 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 11: You know. 145 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 17: So one of the lessons you did learn in the 146 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 17: big leagues, and you learned it on the fly, was 147 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 17: was playing first base. I understand that that's obviously the 148 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 17: focus of your off season work and and Freddie Benavitez 149 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 17: was scheduled to pay you a visit recently. How how 150 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 17: was working at first base and how did you take 151 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 17: to the position learning it as you did in in 152 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 17: live games in the big leagues. 153 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 18: Yeah, it was definitely a new a new experience for me. 154 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 19: Like like you said, in the minor leagues, I never 155 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 19: I never played for I think I played like one 156 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 19: game maybe, or one or two games. I don't really 157 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 19: remember exactly, but it's like I told him, when you 158 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 19: get to the big leagues. I mean, I was there 159 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 19: to help the team, so they asked me to go 160 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 19: play first, and obviously it's kind of tough learning on 161 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 19: the fly. 162 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 18: I mean, it's just a whole different angle from third. 163 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,679 Speaker 19: But I did sprinkle in a little bit of second 164 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 19: so that angle wasn't too difficult. 165 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 18: But at the end of the day, we. 166 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 19: Got paid a lot of money to figure it out 167 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 19: and that was my job. And honestly, like the last 168 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 19: game where I kind of made I made that mistake, 169 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 19: it just let the bad taste in my mouth.

But honestly, it 202 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 19: came for me. It came for myself. Like I'm sure 203 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 19: the team expected things, but I'm someone that. I mean, like, 204 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 19: this is my job, this one I want to I 205 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 19: want to do this for for forever and ever.

I had to, I had to say what 209 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 19: I needed to get better in and I felt like 210 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 19: losing some weight could not only help me, but allowed 211 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 19: me to go play first and even second. So to Actually, 212 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 19: today i weighed in, I'm down twenty six pounds from 213 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 19: when I left off. 214 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 6: Season, breaking news.

Yeah, I'll say it's as someone 222 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 18: in the ballpark of twenty five obvious bounces up and down. 223 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 19: But I'm right around there. I feel really, really really good. 224 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 19: I feel lighter, I feel more agile.

What was the jump 262 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 16: from the minor leagues, particularly trip away to the big 263 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 16: leagues like and the taste that you got, particularly specifically 264 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 16: in the bad box, What did you learn that you're 265 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 16: going to take it the next season? 266 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 19: Honestly, I just learned, like I need to stick to 267 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 19: who I am as a hitter. 268 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 18: It showed that when I got up there. 269 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 19: Obviously it was a small sample size, and I've done 270 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 19: nothing in this game. I've done absolutely nothing. But I 271 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 19: think it showed myself that whatever I do and whatever 272 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 19: I'm capable of doing is enough. I don't need to 273 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 19: go look for more.

I went to 664 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 24: a lot of games. 665 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 29: I'd go down watch Brandon Phillips, J Brew, Scott Roland, Kozart, 666 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 29: Homer Bailey, Bronson, Royo, you know all those guys like 667 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 29: the two thousand and eight to like two thousand, I'd 668 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 29: say twenty fourteen. Once I got to baseball, that was 669 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 29: kind of my my time of following the Reds. That's 670 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 29: about when I got into baseball myself. So that was 671 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 29: a good time. It was a good time, good that 672 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 29: was a right time. That was a great time to 673 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 29: fall at Cincinnati Reds. So a lot of memories. 674 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 17: Now when when you when you came here that the past, 675 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 17: the Reds had some guys with playoff experience, but not 676 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 17: a ton. How much is your playoff experience with the Dodgers, 677 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 17: Astros and I most recently Seattle. Can I kind of 678 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 17: help a clubhouse with with still a lot of young 679 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 17: guys that just got their taste of it this past year? 680 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 24: Yeah for sure, you know. 681 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 29: I mean, you've got guys like Trevan there be Gone Lucks, 682 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 29: those guys that have that have done some stuff too, 683 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 29: So you know, having just just kind of having some 684 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 29: older guys that bounce things off of, you know, having 685 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 29: older guys to to to lean on and understand that 686 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 29: it's okay to be playing behind one O or it's 687 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,479 Speaker 29: okay to to scuffle a little bit in certain moments. 688 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 29: But you know, also keeping the mood loose and and 689 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 29: keeping the guys having fun. You know, the game's really 690 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 29: hard and uh, you know, you just you have to 691 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 29: remember that. So having older guys that you can see 692 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 29: how they handle big moments or big spots and whether 693 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 29: they come through. 694 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 24: Whether they don't. 695 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 29: You you can always learn a lot by how player 696 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 29: handles themselves. So having those guys in your room when 697 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 29: you have a young, talented core like that is very important. 698 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 16: You were able to keep the ball in the ballpark. 699 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 16: You gave up just two home runs last year Seattle 700 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 16: pitch your friendly Pittsburgh. You know, lefties can hit it 701 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 16: down over that twenty one foot wall, but it's it's 702 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 16: pretty big park. Great American, Ye, a little different. What's 703 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 16: going to be that challenge for you? 704 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 29: I don't know, hopefully looks on my side. I mean, yeah, 705 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,239 Speaker 29: I don't know, just you know, just just executing what 706 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 29: I can execute and controlling what I can control, and 707 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 29: you know, the rest of it should take care of itself. 708 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 29: And I think at the end of the year, if 709 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 29: you just go out and execute what you can do 710 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 29: and control the controllables, you're kind of like where you're at. 711 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 24: At the end of one sixty two. 712 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 17: You know, you have basically three different versions of a 713 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 17: fastball and an off speed pitch. How do you mix 714 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 17: those pitches up to get the most success? Especially this 715 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 17: past year, And did that variety of the four scene, 716 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 17: the sinker and the cutter kind of helped you keep 717 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 17: the ball in the ballpark? 718 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 29: Yeah, you know, I just I just kind of let 719 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 29: the game just tell me, you know, kind of what 720 00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 29: to do. 721 00:33:59,280 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 24: You know. 722 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 29: I I enjoy watching the game every night, the game 723 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 29: that I'm in. I don't ever come down and like 724 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 29: sit down and watch baseball, but I watch every game 725 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 29: that we play, so you know, I try to take 726 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 29: the information I see, you know, that night or whatever 727 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 29: is on the scattering report. But but I mean, ultimately, man, 728 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 29: it's just uh, it's conviction and just kind of get 729 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 29: into my spots and I feel like, you know, I'm 730 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 29: gonna get beat guys are gonna get hits. 731 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 24: Those things are going to happen. That's just the nature 732 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 24: of the game. 733 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 29: But you know, I feel like, out of a hundred times, 734 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 29: if I get to my spot and I execute kind 735 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 29: of what I'm trying to do, there was results going 736 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 29: to be in my favorite. 737 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 17: You get weak content, I'm sorry, Jim, and you get 738 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 17: a lot of weak contact. It seems like that was 739 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 17: something you really excelled at this past year. 740 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 24: Yeah, for sure. You know, I don't really know, like 741 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 24: this strikeout number or whatever, like you know, it seems 742 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 24: a little low. I don't really know why. I think. 743 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 29: I pride myself on just coming in and throwing as 744 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 29: many strikes as I can and trying to get guys 745 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 29: out as efficiently as I can. 746 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 24: Because, as most people know, the most. 747 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 29: Important part of most important part of a reliever's jobs availability. 748 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 29: So if I'm a fishing every night, I get my 749 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 29: team a chance to win the next day. So I 750 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 29: don't really care how else come.

I'm Jim Day. 866 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 16: He is Mark Sheldon. Hope you enjoyed the interviews with 867 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 16: South Stuart and Caleb Ferguson and uh Mark, I gotta 868 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 16: tell you like I said going to the break at 869 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 16: the bottom of the hour. When you listen to South Stuart, 870 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 16: he kind of fires you up a little bit your 871 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 16: oppressions of. 872 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 6: The interview, And man, I was I knew that he 873 00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:58,919 Speaker 6: was out. 874 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 16: It was his mission to become more agile, but losing 875 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 16: twenty plus pounds already, Man, the kids getting after it 876 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:08,320 Speaker 16: right now? 877 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 17: Yeah, he really is. He sounds like he's ready to 878 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,240 Speaker 17: run through a wall. And it's only December twenty fourth, 879 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 17: So it's encouraging if you're the Reds and if you're 880 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,720 Speaker 17: a Reds fan. One thing I will be curious about 881 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 17: is the weight loss how it might affect his potential power. 882 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 17: I mean, he's not a home run hitter per se, 883 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 17: but he did leave the team in home runs in 884 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 17: September with five, and he does hit the ball on 885 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 17: the line pretty hard, and you want to see a 886 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 17: few of those balls get over the fence. So he 887 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 17: doesn't want to lose too much weight. But I think 888 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 17: the keyword you mentioned was agile. He was also in 889 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 17: addition to weight loss, he was directed to become more athletic, 890 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 17: more agile. He's learning a new position at first base. 891 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 17: He spent time with Freddie Benavitez all, that's important, and 892 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 17: I'm sure agility and athleticism helps when you've lost weight. 893 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 16: Yeah, And you had a story this week about Sal 894 00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 16: Stewart and what Terry Francona had to say about I 895 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 16: think the Reds are expecting a lot from this kid 896 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 16: coming up. 897 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 17: They will and they have to. I mean, as of now, 898 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 17: they haven't signed the hitter, the big hitter they wanted, 899 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 17: and south Stewart could be one of their more important 900 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 17: guys in the lineup if you pencil them in at 901 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 17: first base and maybe Spencer Steer moves to the left 902 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 17: field or maybe Salad Stewart does some dhing and things 903 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 17: like that. But they they need a middle of the 904 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 17: order guy to put behind Elie Da La Cruz and 905 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 17: in some fashion and they'll see what happens. And they 906 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 17: also need him to be better defensively. That one of 907 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 17: the Reds goals of this offseason was to be a 908 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 17: better defensive team. And as as Sal referenced his error 909 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 17: in Game two, he can't make those errors too many 910 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 17: times in the regular season. He has to get better 911 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,919 Speaker 17: and knowing him as he said, that was a big 912 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 17: motivation for him to work on that this offseason. 913 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 16: Yeah, and if he does become better defensively, it will 914 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,720 Speaker 16: also keep him in the game because if the Reds 915 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 16: are winning the game this past year, I mean we 916 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 16: saw it. He was in the later innings. They were 917 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 16: replacing him, right they And they'll do the same thing. 918 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 16: They'll move Steer into first base in the eighth or 919 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 16: ninth inning. And sometimes that comes back to bite you 920 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 16: if the other team ties it up, whatever, you're gonna 921 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 16: have it a bat where you would normally want south 922 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 16: Stewart up there. So that's really gonna help. If he 923 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 16: can stay in the ball game defensively. 924 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 17: There will I mean, Stuart was a or excuse me, 925 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 17: spear this, excuse me Spencer Steer. It's an alliteration. He 926 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 17: was goldmost gold Glove level last year. He was a 927 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 17: finalist and he played really well. And if south Stewart 928 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 17: wants to stay in the lineup in the late innings 929 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 17: and be the guy that contributes those those memorable moments 930 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 17: and that sort of speaking the ninth inning, he has 931 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,399 Speaker 17: to play well on defense the whole game. 932 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,760 Speaker 16: Your impressions of Caleb Ferguson, that was a need sign 933 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 16: right there. The Reds last year most of the time, 934 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 16: Graham Ashcraft, a right handed pitcher, was their best best 935 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 16: option in high leverage situations against left handed batters. He's 936 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 16: gonna seemingly help, is he not? 937 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:10,720 Speaker 17: He should help. He's a guy with really really weak 938 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 17: contact guy. He's not a strikeout guy. Like we mentioned 939 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 17: in the interview. He does get the ball put in play, 940 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,720 Speaker 17: he does limit the long ball. In Great American Ballpark, 941 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 17: that might be a little tougher, but he's a guy 942 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 17: they needed to have. It's been good to see from 943 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 17: the Red's point of view. They the bullpen was their 944 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 17: other big need besides the offense, and they they picked 945 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 17: off two big needs right in a row, with Pegan 946 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,879 Speaker 17: coming back to be the closer. Now they have their 947 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 17: middle to late inning lefty in Ferguson. They also obviously 948 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 17: have Tony Santion and Ashcraft for those late innings, So 949 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 17: now they might need to add another bullpen piece or two. 950 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 17: But they also have of course Connor Phillips and Zach 951 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 17: Maxwell and May and a few others in the mix. 952 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 17: So the bullpen's starting to look a little bit better. 953 00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 24: Now. 954 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 17: They have to work on the offense. 955 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 16: Yeah, you had mentioned that, you know, the hitters that 956 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 16: are kind of left out there in free agency, some 957 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 16: of which you can probably just cross off the list. 958 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 16: Others might be out of the price range. Would you 959 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,800 Speaker 16: think if something was going to happen in that regard 960 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,760 Speaker 16: is going to have to be via trade. 961 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 17: I'm starting to feel like more and more. Yeah. Certainly, 962 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 17: Cody Bellinger's on the market, and a few other guys 963 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 17: Miguel Anduhar are still in the market, a guy who 964 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 17: did very well against left handed pitching for the Reds 965 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 17: the last two months of the season. But I don't 966 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 17: know if any of those people move the needle to 967 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 17: what they really need consistently over a whole season, and 968 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 17: that might be a trade, and a lot of the 969 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 17: teams that have been looking to add big starting pitching 970 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 17: and have whifted could come looking at the Reds again 971 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 17: and maybe make them an offer they can't refuse. 972 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 16: I'm looking forward to. I mean, you can pencil in 973 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,799 Speaker 16: some guys into the rotation as we speak right now, 974 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,879 Speaker 16: if they don't make any trades and trade anyone out 975 00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 16: of that starting pitching nucleus. But there's going to be 976 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 16: some competition for that number five spot, if not more. 977 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, if if there's no injuries and everyone 978 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 17: is back. It's going to be really interesting when you 979 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 17: have Rhet Louder, Chase Burns, h Randon Williamson, Aggie Are. 980 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,240 Speaker 17: There's gonna be a whole lot of guys that are hungry, 981 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 17: especially the three guys that missed all of last year. 982 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 17: And Louder, Williamson and Aggie Are. They they missed a 983 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,479 Speaker 17: whole year, they're going to be itching to get back. 984 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 24: Uh. 985 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 17: Then you throw in, of course, you got the guys 986 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 17: that are you have two All Stars and Hunter Green 987 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 17: and Andrew Rabbott, you have the guy that led basically 988 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 17: the team in strikeouts and innings, and and and Brady Singer. 989 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 17: So it's a it's a solid, solid rotation.
