24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: Bengals might have their eyes on in the upcoming draft.

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: Not Jeremiah Love. We're done with the Jeremiah Love conversation

26

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: conversation starting at two o'clock. Austin, is it corrected? Did

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge just look at another strike?

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: Three?

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: Right down Broadway? There it is? Last night, Team USA

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: comes up short against Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic final.

32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: It was a game I actually was gonna I got

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: on social media because I was gonna tweet it out,

34
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: and it was the same time you did, so I

35
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: didn't want to just piggyback on your tweet, but you

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: tweeted out last night. Austin, that last night's World Baseball

37
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: Classic felt eerily similar to so many Reds games that

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: we watched last year. Yes, good pitching, terrible situational hitting,

39
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: a lot of swings and missus. Yeah, there were a

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: ton of swings and misses.

41
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: At one point, John Smoltz said that the United States

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: teem looked like a team that was coming off a

43
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 4: long road trip at the end of August as opposed

44
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: to a team that had gone through a run and

45
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: found themselves in the final of the World Baseball Classic.

46
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 4: And yeah, I don't know if the energy was just low.

47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 4: I don't know if they were just fooled by the pitches.

48
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 4: I don't know what it was.

49
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: And it's hard to say fooled by the pitches because

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: Rodriguez came into the game with a sub like a

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: it was Era above five, and the lineup for USA

52
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: had had a lot of success against him throughout his career.

53
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm not going to take anything away from him.

54
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: I thought he pitched pretty good. Yeah, And I think

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 4: as a whole, Venezuela had a good plan and we're

56
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 4: changing spots and speeds and overall I thought they executed

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: pretty well. But you know, Judge is the perfect example.

58
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 4: There were hit able pitches. Yeah, there were pitches in

59
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 4: the zone that you could do damage to, and they

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: were just off balanced, they weren't paying attention. There was

61
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: one big one that was Bryce Harper's home run to

62
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: tie in the ninth, and that was about it.

63
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: You and I we were texting back and forth because

64
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: I believe it was the bottom of the sixth. USA

65
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: is trailing to nothing. Bryce Harper gets a single and

66
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge has a three to one count. Anyone that's

67
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: ever played or watched baseball Austin three to one. You

68
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: sit on a pitch and if you get it, you

69
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: hammer it right. Aaron Judge watched a three to one

70
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: fastball right down the middle, grounds out on the next pitch. Now,

71
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: it was a magical moment. In the bottom of the eighth,

72
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper with two outs and a man on homered

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: two run home run four hundred and thirty two feet

74
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: and it tied the game. And right there you thought,

75
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: here's all the momentum in the world. And then Aaron

76
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: Judge watched strike three and the momentum was gone. And then,

77
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: much like Red's fashion, Gavin Whitlock came on in the

78
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: top of the ninth in the TI game and what

79
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: do he do to the first batter? Walked Luisa Rise,

80
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: then a steel and then the newly acquired Cincinnati Red

81
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: eu Hedejo Suarez hits the end up being the game

82
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: winning double off Gavin Whitlock Suarez with the RBI and

83
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: the ninth and Team USA really went quietly after that

84
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the ninth and Venezuela wins it

85
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: three to two, And I know it's it's stunk on

86
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: the part of Team USA because you want them to win.

87
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: But if there is a silver lining Austin, how well

88
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: Suarez played and the emotion that he showed after the

89
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: game was really cool to see. Yeah, so I'll give

90
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: it to Suarez. You tip your cap to Venezuela. But

91
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: another disappointing finish for the and the World Baseball Classic.

92
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: If there's anybody you want to lose to, you want

93
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 4: it to be a good guy like au Haaneo Swarz

94
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 4: And you can tell how much that meant to him

95
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: and to their country. And they were kind of talking

96
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 4: about the manager, Omar Lopez, I believe, for Venezuela, and

97
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: kind of his story about how he was going to

98
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: be the manager, and then they kind of pulled the

99
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: rug out from underneath him and he finally got his

100
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: shot and were able to finally make that happen. So, yeah,

101
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 4: it's a cool story. It's cool to see that type

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: of celebration. Obviously disappointing for the Americans who have now

103
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: lost in the exact same fashion in back to back

104
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: World Baseball Classic finals. I also thought it was really

105
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 4: cool that Bryce Harper stuck around after the game and

106
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 4: went out on the field and congratulated so many of

107
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: the players from Venezuela, including au Haaneo Suarez. I thought

108
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: that was really classy from Bryce Harper, and more than

109
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 4: likely that's going to be his final World Baseball Classic.

110
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been in the league for fifteen years

111
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: and next time it happens is going to be twenty thirty,

112
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 4: and you don't assume Bryce is going to be back.

113
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 4: But you know, Bryce is the exact opposite of Aaron Judge,

114
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 4: where it feels like in the biggest moments he always

115
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 4: shows up. Performed really well for the Phillies in the

116
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 4: World Series a couple of years ago, and obviously had

117
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 4: that moment last night. But yeah, man, disappointing end, but

118
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: a great, great tournament as usual, and they did a

119
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: great job making that atmosphere and the everything feel huge.

120
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: Watching Bryce Harper, you know, point to the American flag

121
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: on his jersey and salute as he was rounding the

122
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: base as a really really cool moment. Unfortunately, Team USA

123
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: comes up on the wrong side of the final last night.

124
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: First for action in Dayton. It got underway and it

125
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: was a good one. Howard an eighty six eighty three

126
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 2: winner over UMBC. But an early theme in all this.

127
00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: Austin Howard scores with I believe seven eight seconds left

128
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: on the clock. UNBC gets the ball in bounds and

129
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: then Howard's coach bumps into the official while trying to

130
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: call it time out, and the official granted the timeout. Now,

131
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: once that ball is in play, as they were saying

132
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: on the postgame show, all bets are off. You can't

133
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: call the timeout. You also can't bump into a referee.

134
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: The referee gave Howard the timeout. Howard sets their defense.

135
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: UNBC is not able to capitalize and Howard gets their

136
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: first ever NCAA tournament win. Congratulations to Howard. They move

137
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: on to play the Michigan Wolverines in the late game

138
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: Texas NC State. Now, we talked about this yesterday and Austin,

139
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: you didn't think it was going to be a thing.

140
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: So many Xavier fans driving up to UD Arena to

141
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: heckle Sean miller It was a thing. Yeah, And it

142
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: was apparent during the broadcast and on the audio that

143
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: that was a thing in U the Arena last night.

144
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

145
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 4: I didn't hear much of it because I was watching

146
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: the World Baseball Classic, but I saw the videos of

147
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: the people that were there. I saw the videos of

148
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: eckling Sean Millerley coming on and.

149
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 2: Off the floor. Yeah.

150
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I personally think it's pretty lame, to be honest,

151
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: for Xavier fans to go up there and do that.

152
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 4: And that's I've sided with Xavier fans a lot on

153
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 4: this show, but I think this kind of is that

154
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: was where you draw the line.

155
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: I think it is kind of stupid.

156
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: I mean, anybody reserves the right to boo, and I'm

157
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: not saying you shouldn't boo people. I think going up

158
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 4: there and making a scene about it just makes you

159
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 4: look like a little brother. That's what I think personally,

160
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 4: and it just makes it seem like you're not over it,

161
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: and like, I don't know. Obviously, the results weren't what

162
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 4: she wanted With Richard Patino this year. But I haven't

163
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 4: met anybody who feels like they're not going in the

164
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 4: right direction and they're not building something there, and you

165
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: really like the foundation that was laid by him.

166
00:08:59,080 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: Move on.

167
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not like there was this belief that

168
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: Sean Miller was this great stand up guy. I mean,

169
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: what you're win, right, He's always been an off putting,

170
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: pompous type of person without a doubt.

171
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: And you know, it's not like you have.

172
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: The world's greatest person in the world and then all

173
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 4: of a sudden he's a turncoat and leaves it was

174
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 4: you kind of knew this was a possibility for Sean Miller.

175
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 4: He had done it once before, right, Uh So I

176
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: just thought it was kind of laying on behalf of

177
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 4: Zavi fans to make a scene like that and started

178
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 4: fighting with Texas fans in the stands.

179
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: And well, and also Austin didn't help that Texas won

180
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 2: the game. So you're going out there do anything to

181
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: boo the man. Now, these two teams played in November

182
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: and it was one oh two to ninety seven last night,

183
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: not as much scoring. And last night it was a

184
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: Tremond Mark shot in a tie game of sixty six

185
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: sixty six, Mark hits a shot with one second left

186
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: on the clock, and one second is key Austin, because,

187
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: as we talked about in the first game, you have

188
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: a coach who bumps into an official. That shot went

189
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: in for Texas, and one of the assistants for Texas

190
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: not only stepped on the floor with the second remaining,

191
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: Ryan Anderson was Ryan Anderson was in the paint. He

192
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: was in at the foul line. After that shot goes in,

193
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: the referees. Now by law, that should be a technical.

194
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 2: The referees allowed it, and I thought Sean Miller was

195
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 2: going to strangle a man on live TV. It looked

196
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: like it.

197
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 4: And I don't know that anybody would have blamed Sean

198
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 4: for taken such action against his coach and a guy

199
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 4: that's been an assistant with him for a long time,

200
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: even going back to his time at Xavier.

201
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a brain dead moment.

202
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 4: From and running out onto the court almost cost him

203
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: an NCAA tournament game.

204
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 6: Yep.

205
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: But listen, I think that maybe one of these days

206
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 4: the first four will be named after Sean Miller. Oh,

207
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: you know, keeps performing well in those moments.

208
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: Keeps getting wins. Last night, Matas voke Titus.

209
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna say Matas Boose Chicago Bulls.

210
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: He had fifteen, Traymont Mark was seventeen, Daylan Swain had thirteen,

211
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: and Kendell Weaver had eleven. Four Texas longhorns and double figures.

212
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: Texas now moves on to play byu UH in their

213
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: first round game coming up later this week. As far

214
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: as the first four goes, and we'll talk more about

215
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 2: this with Paul Fritchner at one o'clock tonight. Tonight, you

216
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: get Prairie View A and M and Lee High and

217
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: then what should be a raucous atmosphere should be a

218
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: great environment Miami and Smule.

219
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 4: I'm seeing the videos again of these Xavier fans and

220
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: they're keeping doing horns down.

221
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: One of them actually got Sean Miller to do horns

222
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: down well.

223
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 4: But they're doing it to like Texas fans. They're like

224
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 4: fighting with each other in stands. Yeah, Like your beef

225
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: is not with Texas fans, right, your beef is with

226
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: the Texas coach. Now I can get behind and I

227
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 4: stand behind, and I firmly believe in horns down. Yeah,

228
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 4: I absolutely you should be horns down in every Texas

229
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: fan you see. But you don't need to be certain fans.

230
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 4: Your beef is not with the fans. It is absolutely incredible.

231
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: We need. Do the RedHawks have anything we can do there?

232
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: Any sort of like SMU? I don't know. I don't know. SMU.

233
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 4: Sure keep it clean, folks. SMU has a they have

234
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 4: a center who's seven to two. It could be a

235
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 4: little bit of a problem for Miami tonight. That game

236
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 4: opened up, I think was a nine and a half

237
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: point spread. It's down to six and a half now.

238
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: Tonight. SMU favored against Miami.

239
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 4: I will say when OU played them, they had that

240
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 4: big fella in the middle, and that gave them some

241
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: problems that you really did.

242
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: It's one thing with Miami is they're just not They're

243
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: not big inside, but they space the ball and movement

244
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: so well on offense that maybe you can use that

245
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: big man and his lack of movement against SMU and

246
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: capitalize on the other end of the court. That game

247
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: will tip off, it's scheduled for nine to fifteen. What

248
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: do you think about nine thirty tonight? Probably somewhere around there.

249
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: The nit is happening right now. Could care could not

250
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: care less I'm watching. I got it on this show

251
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: right right now.

252
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, Wichita State and Wyoming the Shockers.

253
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about this? We talk about the Louisville Cardinals

254
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: on this show. Louisville will be without their star freshman

255
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: mike Kel Brown Junior when they go up against South Florida. Now,

256
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: as of yesterday Austin, one of the trendiest upset picks

257
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: in the first round is South Florida to knockoff Louisville.

258
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: I'm one of those picks that I think now adds

259
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: fuel to the fire because MIKEL Brown Junior, according to many,

260
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: is the best player on Louisville's basketball team. He will

261
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: not be available against South Florida, and there's currently mixed

262
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: messaging about his availability if they reach the second round.

263
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: So that's a big, big hit to the Louisville Cardinals

264
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: and head coach Pat Kelsey. Other things that we'll dive

265
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: into today the latest around the National Football League signings

266
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: that are still happening, including a former Bengal returning to

267
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: his former defensive coordinator in Indianapolis. We heard from Max

268
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: Crosby yesterday. He gave his account of what happened on

269
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: his trip to Baltimore with the quote unquote failed physical.

270
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: We'll dive into all of that, but when we get back,

271
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: let's start with a little more Reds. We're eight days

272
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: away from opening day. Let's talk a little more about

273
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: the rotation. Things becoming a little more clear as far

274
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: as the Reds rotation goes. We'll talk about that. We'll

275
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: recap a Red's loss from yesterday in spring training, and

276
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: we'll open up the phone lines to you five one, three, seven, four, nine,

277
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty as we just get started on ESPN fifteen thirty,

278
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,520

Speaker 7: Hey Alexa, you got in the last center field headed

280
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 7: for the gaps.

281
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: We take it, Hey USA, just right A Henneo Suarez

282
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: with the game winner last night in the top of

283
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: the ninth. His double puts Venezuela on top three to two.

284
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: They get the US down one two three in the

285
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: ninth and Venezuela is your World Baseball Classic champion, another

286
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: runner up for Team USA. Let's talk a little more

287
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 2: baseball as we continue on SINCY three sixty thanks to

288
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: Skyline Chile. Yesterday, Reds an eighty six loser to the

289
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: Cleveland Guardians, yesterday saw Nicklodolo take the mound and Nick

290
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: Loodolo went four and two thirds, gave up three hits

291
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: and two runs, only walked one and struck out seven.

292
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: I'll take that out of a Nicklodolo start this late

293
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: in the spring, as we're only eight days away now

294
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: from the start of the regular season. Red's also got

295
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: an early home run from Noelve Marte yesterday in the game,

296
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: an RBI single, a two run RBI single by Ellie

297
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: de la Cruz in the fourth inning. As well, Ellie

298
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: had a one hit day with two RBIs we just

299
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: mentioned did strike out twice. All in all Reds batter

300
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: struck out fourteen times on the day yesterday. But more

301
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: importantly than that is the news that Nick Lodolo made

302
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: a solid start. And speaking of Red's pitchers, a little

303
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: bit of an update the conversation we had yesterday about

304
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Reds, obviously about Hunter Green, the conversation around

305
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: Chase Burns. The Reds, according to Charlie Goldsmith shared that

306
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: the Reds will carry six starting pitchers on their roster

307
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: when the season opens. That means Chase Burns, Red Louder

308
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: and Brandon Williamson, all will make the team. That's six

309
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: starters essentially for five spots when they join Andrew Abbott,

310
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: Brady Singer, and Nick Lodolo in the rotation. Obviously, you

311
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: hope for a July return for Hunter Green, and you'll

312
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 2: hear about a minute of Hunter Green audio Hunter Green

313
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: returned to Arizona yesterday. It's also unique from the Reds

314
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: when you add in Hunter Green that all seven of

315
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: the projected primary pitchers for the Reds are still under

316
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: thirty years old. Brady Singer is twenty nine, Chase Burns

317
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: twenty three. So a little bit of clarification now on

318
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: this Reds rotation, what do you make austin of six

319
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: starting pitchers making this roster.

320
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 4: Well, after reading what Charlie wrote it, it makes a lot

321
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 4: more sense. They're calling it a condensed six man rotation

322
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 4: and it's not a real six man rotation because one

323
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 4: of those starters is technically going to be pitching in relief.

324
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 4: According to Charlie, it's not a piggyback or tandem start

325
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 4: situation because the schedule for the pitchers won't be completely

326
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 4: set in advance, cut and dry, or independent of the

327
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 4: circumstances going on in the game. He also said it's

328
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 4: something that's very short term. Charlie said he tossed out

329
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 4: the date of April twentieth to Terry Francona and Derek Johnson.

330
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 4: They're like, oh, no, it'll be done before that. So

331
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 4: I think this is almost specifically to get them through

332
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 4: the first two weeks of the season, is my guess,

333
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 4: and trying to think of the best way to describe

334
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 4: it here. This is how Charlie wrote. Abbot, Lodolo, and

335
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 4: Singer will start the opening series against the Red Sox.

336
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: One of Burns, Louder or Williamson will start Game one

337
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 4: against the Pirates on that Monday, One of the others

338
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 4: will start Game two, and Andrew Abbott will start Game three.

339
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: Whichever one of Burns, Louder or Williamson does not make

340
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 4: a start against Pittsburgh will be available in game one

341
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 4: and or Game two of that series as a piggyback starter,

342
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: slash lown reliever, slash tandem pitcher, think of the Nick

343
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 4: Martinez role. Sure, so far the rotation in spring has

344
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 4: gone Burns, Louder Williamson. Burns has been a day ahead

345
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 4: of all those other guys, So I think it's a

346
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 4: good idea if you have to limit innings, if guys

347
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 4: maybe aren't exactly where you want them to be going

348
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 4: into the season, this makes sense to be able to

349
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 4: limit their innings, throw something different at the opposing teams,

350
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 4: especially when guys are pitching really, really well, And it

351
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 4: serves as as a way with the off days and

352
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 4: the way the schedule starts the first couple weeks of

353
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: the season, it just makes sense to get those guys

354
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 4: up to speed in that way. So I like it.

355
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 4: I think it makes sense. I don't know that it's

356
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 4: a perfect plan, but I think makes sense.

357
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: And I don't know.

358
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 4: And the question I would have for Charlie and Charlie's

359
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 4: going to join us tomorrow is what happens after that?

360
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 4: Or can is it still basically a competition up until

361
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 4: that two weeks into the season and then do they

362
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 4: send somebody down to Triple A? That's what I'm most

363
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 4: most curious about. Or you know, if Andrew Abbott, if

364
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 4: something's going on with him and he continues to struggle,

365
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 4: do they, you know, put him on I L or something.

366
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 4: I don't know, But the best way to describe it

367
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 4: is the Reds are coming to Cincinnati with all their

368
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 4: best pictures outside of Hunter Green, who's hurt.

369
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: And I think it does, I think set to ease

370
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 2: a lot of folks who may have panicked a little

371
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: bit when you heard the Chase Burns conversation from Sea

372
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 2: Trent last week of yeah, well is going to pull

373
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: back on him? Is there an issue there to know

374
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: that he's going to be here along with the others?

375
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: And I agree. Look, much like we talk about best

376
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: player available with the Cincinnati Bengals in the draft, there's

377
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: something to take the best players back to Cincinnati with you.

378
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: And if that's Williamson, Louder and Burns, then that's Williamson,

379
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: Louder and Burns and you're gonna find ways to incorporate

380
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: them as the season goes on. This is you know,

381
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: we talked about this with Hunter Green. There is a

382
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: I think attention now that that starts this season because

383
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 2: you want to start fast and this team, I mean,

384
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 2: we've beaten it into the ground, Austin. This team just

385
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 2: has not started fast enough. And now you're gonna be

386
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: starting the season without your presumable ace in Hunter Green.

387
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: You cannot use that as a way to Okay, well,

388
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna start slow and then make up some ground

389
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 2: when Hunter's back. Get the best players on the roster

390
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: and find a way to start the season fast or

391
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: faster than they have in years past, and allow themselves

392
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: to stay in the conversation until Hunter Green gets back.

393
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: Speaking of Hunter Green, Hunter Green returned to spring training yesterday,

394
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: and I believe he gave a little bit of an

395
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: update or a little bit of an understanding as to

396
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: what went on that led up to the surgery.

397
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is Hunter talking with the media yesterday. At

398
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 4: some point you'll hear him. It'll kind of go a

399
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: little bit silent because he's gesturing to his elbow and

400
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 4: kind of showing the scars and the marks and how

401
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 4: it's a little bit different than his left elbow. But

402
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 4: this is one minute of Hunter Green talking about his

403
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 4: recovery yesterday.

404
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 3: Is Green right now?

405
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's uncomfortable just because there's a lot of swelling

406
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 8: and you can kind of see, you know, it's puffy. Yeah,

407
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 8: as opposed to it that's not as much. So Yeah,

408
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 8: just normal swelling and discomfort in that area.

409
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: But I've already been able to.

410
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 8: Work through range of motion, and this is a big deal.

411
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 8: Already with flection because this turns your triceps on.

412
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: So the fact that I can already do this is

413
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: a really good sign.

414
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 3: And obviously I'll.

415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 8: Continue to progress and if those strides.

416
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: I feel confident that timeline is going to be like

417
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 4: right on the next Yeah.

418
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I don't know what if yous, I

419
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 8: don't under crystal ball, but you know, o'bll just say,

420
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 8: I'm going to continue to put my best foot forward,

421
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 8: and it'd be awesome to cut that time down without

422
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 8: sacrificing the progression itself. But you know, obviously I want

423
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 8: to get out there and I'm anxious to get back

424
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 8: on the field, so without sacrificing, like I said, the

425
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 8: progress of the actual rehab. It would be great to

426
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 8: be able to cut that time down, but it has

427
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 8: to be with the treason.

428
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: All right. So that's a little bit on the timeline

429
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 2: from Hunter Green. He was also pressed a little bit

430
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: yesterday Austin into the decision between him and doctor Neil

431
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: Elatrosh after the postseason about the injection and not the surgery,

432
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 2: because he mentioned he had the pain in his elbow.

433
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: According to Hunter Green, Neil Elatrosh did not think it

434
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 2: was severe enough for surgery. Hunter Green said, quote, He's

435
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: one of the best doctors in the world. I've got

436
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: to trust him. Everybody that has had experiences with doctors,

437
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: they know that surgery is never the first option. There's protocol.

438
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: The protocol was either an injection or rest. He did both,

439
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 2: and he alluded to the fact that it worked in

440
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 2: the short term. When it first happened and much of

441
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: the offseason he felt good, but his spring training kind

442
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: of ramped up. It reared its ugly head again, and

443
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: even Hunter Green when it started said he was still

444
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: in a headspace of maybe he can get through it

445
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: and continue to work, but there was just too much

446
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 2: going on in his mind. While telling him to push, push, push,

447
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 2: he said, his body just wasn't there in reality, so

448
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: he opted for the surgery. But a little bit more clarification,

449
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: do you do you take that and change the conversation

450
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: we've had about maybe why he didn't get the surgery.

451
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: Initially he did talk about an MRI on July seventh.

452
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: That was clean that Mark Sheldon talked about. So does

453
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: this change at all for you? How this process and

454
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: we assumed it went because here's doctor Neil Elatrosh and

455
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 2: who's one of the best in the business saying I

456
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 2: don't think we need surgery, just go ahead and do

457
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 2: the injection and rest. If I'm a Hunter Green, then

458
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: then I'm probably gonna listen to that.

459
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that makes sense to me. Those are

460
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 4: the questions I had, Like, what was the timeline, what

461
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: was the advice? Why did you make that decision? And

462
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 4: I don't know why, Like if it were me, if

463
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 4: I'm Hunter Green, I would want all that information out

464
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 4: there right away. Here's the explanation as to why this

465
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 4: is happening. I don't understand why so so many times

466
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 4: athletes are just not transparent about this sort of thing,

467
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: because this only serves to help you and help people

468
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: understand what's going on. And instead, for two weeks, we

469
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 4: had people surmising that Hunter Green was quitting on the team,

470
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 4: and that he's injury prone, and that his elbow's in trouble,

471
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 4: and this and that and the other. And I'm not

472
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 4: going to act like I wasn't a part of that

473
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: because I was confused, And now we get the information

474
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 4: that we've been looking for. If I was Hunter Green,

475
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 4: I'd probably listen to Neil Elatrosh too. Yep, I mean

476
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 4: he I mean talk about Max Crosby. Max Crosby said

477
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 4: yesterday he called Neil Elatrosh and it's like, what's going

478
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 4: on with my knee? And he's like, don't listen to

479
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 4: anything the Ravens are saying. They're lying to you, like

480
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 4: your knee is in good shape. And and you know

481
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 4: Max Crosby obviously listens to him. This is the most

482
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 4: the best doctor in the world when it comes to

483
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 4: that stuff. So I don't blame him. It makes more

484
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 4: sense to me now. I appreciate that he was going

485
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: to try to tough through that and figure it out,

486
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 4: and it's unfortunate that this is the outcome, but you know,

487
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 4: it could be a lot worse, and I'm glad it's not.

488
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, listen from an athlete point of view,

489
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: and Hunter's right, you don't always want an opt for

490
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: surgery and you've got to trust those around you and

491
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: not just here, and it's just not just us talking Nationally,

492
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: Neil Latrosh is viewed as one of the best to

493
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: do it. If if I were to visit, if I

494
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 2: had an issue and I had elbow issues, if I

495
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: visited and it was hey, we're going to do an

496
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 2: injection because it's not severe enough to do surgery. Then

497
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: one percent I'm gonna say, okay, I'm listening to that,

498
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: Let's do the injection. Not going to be in a

499
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: place to say, well, I understand this is your expertise

500
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 2: and you think this, but let's go ahead and do

501
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: the surgery to make sure we're we're preventing any future problems.

502
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 2: You're taking a doctor's word for it, and you're thinking

503
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: that the injection and rest is going to work and

504
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: get you through the next season. That wasn't the case.

505
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: Hunter Green had now attacked that with the information that

506
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 2: he has and how his body felt once spring training

507
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 2: got started. Let's take a break, we'll come back. We'll

508
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: open up the phone lines five, one, three, seven, fifteen thirty.

509
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 2: We'll grab some of your phone calls, and we'll talk

510
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: the latest as to what's going on in the National

511
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: Football League as well on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports

512
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: Station thanks to Skyline Chili get on the fast tracks

513
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: of fun. I just got three things to say. God

514
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: bless our troops, God bless them. Maarka jail man, stop good?

515
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 2: How about it?

516
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 4: Just felt like bringing that back today, always hits the same.

517
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 4: Man just feels great, always hits the same.

518
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: It's since he three to sixty right here on ESPN

519
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty Cincinnati sports stations last night in the World

520
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 2: Baseball Classic, yep, or maybe a manager that just understands

521
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: the rules of the actual tournament itself.

522
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 4: He didn't help himself. He struggled mightily that entire tournament.

523
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 2: Good to see Byron Buxton was in the lineup last

524
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 2: night too, who had let me check, as many hits

525
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: as we did throughout the tournament? Oh zero zero? Now

526
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 2: I can tell you being there in person. Byron Buxton

527
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: did have some hits in in Cincinnati last Yeah, you know,

528
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: I went. I went to every single game in that series.

529
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: Ironically enough, he was the best player in the world.

530
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: He was. He really is defensively, offensively, How is this

531
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: guy not one of the best ever played?

532
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 4: Alex Bregman didn't do anything, no in that tournament. Kyl

533
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 4: Rowley didn't either, in a very quiet tournament. He didn't

534
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 4: even catch the last two games. Was Will Smith who

535
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 4: got the nod for Team US. We're gonna talk to

536
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 4: some NFL in just a few moments, and Paul Fritcher

537
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 4: is going to join us at one. We have a

538
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 4: few moments to take a couple of phone calls. John

539
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 4: is calling in right now.

540
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: What's up?

541
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: John?

542
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Tony Good afternoon, Austin. How are you good?

543
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: How are you? We're hanging in there. We're hanging in there.

544
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 7: A week away from Red's Red Sox opening that season

545
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 7: should be a lot of fun.

546
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Absolutely.

547
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 7: Fifty one years since the World Series in nineteen seventy five,

548
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 7: and unfortunately I'm.

549
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 3: Too old to remember that. What's the Red Sox were

550
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 3: on the losing end of that? That was a great

551
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 3: World Series?

552
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: What is the feel on Boston as well? Because I

553
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: know a lot of people were upset that they didn't

554
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: retain Alex Bregman, but I know the Ranger Suarez move

555
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: was a big deal. I know they got a lot

556
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 2: of young talent on that team. What's the vibe and

557
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: feel around the Red Sox going into the year?

558
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 7: Kind of like man like, I think people are always

559
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 7: excited that baseball's coming back, but the way the Red

560
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 7: Sox have been run recently, it feels more like a

561
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 7: mid market team and they're not. I mean, they bring

562
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 7: in six to seven hundred million dollars a year and

563
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 7: gross revenue and only behind the likes of the Yankees.

564
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 3: Dodgers, and maybe the Mets.

565
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 7: I mean they're fourth or fifth in gross revenue, but

566
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 7: they're not acting like a big market team.

567
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: Bregnan. They moved on from who was really.

568
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 7: Popular here last year was out quite a bit, but

569
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 7: he was such a leader in the clubhouse with such

570
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 7: a young team.

571
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: But I think there were tars Ki contend and still.

572
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 7: Be a solid team and maybe be a wildcard team,

573
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 7: but I don't expect them to win the division or

574
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 7: be a World Series favorite.

575
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 3: But it's just kind of.

576
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 7: A little bit of apprehension on the fans part because

577
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 7: they've started to dislike ownership here, which is odd considering

578
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 7: this ownership has brought four World Series times here in

579
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 7: the last twenty five years, but for some reason not

580
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 7: very popular with the fan base. So a couple other things.

581
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 7: I know, we were talking about Mark de Rosa, and look,

582
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 7: he was way in over his head. Who exactly hired him?

583
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 7: I mean, was it an individual?

584
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what that process is.

585
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean if there's a boy that hired him,

586
00:30:58,760 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 7: then shame on them.

587
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 3: He had no managerial experience.

588
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: And I get like, if you want to go with

589
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: a guy, make sure that your manager knows the actual

590
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: rules of the tournament.

591
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 7: True a good idea, isn't it incredible?

592
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 3: That would be a good idea.

593
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 7: And again a lot of pressure on him because it's

594
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 7: no win situation, right, you win the WBC, Well you're

595
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 7: supposed to win the WB correct, The United States of

596
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 7: America would all his talent and if you lose it,

597
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 7: then what the heck happened? But I think the tough

598
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 7: part guys with him was that he had to kind

599
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 7: of manage with thirty teams in mind, because he had

600
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 7: to get ahold of the padres and say, well, can

601
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 7: we use your closer? Well, no, only if you're ahead.

602
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 7: And then I got to clear this with the Red

603
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 7: Sox to use Garrett Wodlock, who isn't even the Red

604
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 7: Sox closer. It's or all just happens. So it's just

605
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 7: there's a lot going on there. But you need an

606
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 7: experienced manager, but maybe one who's not still managing. But

607
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 7: what do you do if Joe Tory and who sat

608
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 7: like eighty years old coming down there to manage?

609
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: Yep, that that side alone I do think is hard

610
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: for a manager in the world baseball class without.

611
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 3: Question, one more thing.

612
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 7: Any apprehension about Joe Burrow playing Saturday in this flag

613
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 7: football game, I.

614
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: Don't think so. I'm not there yet. Now Again, you hope,

615
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 2: hope for the best and avoid disaster. But I think

616
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: I'm at a point where I'm good with it.

617
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too. I mean, he just nine games last year.

618
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 7: You could see when he came back how much he

619
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 7: wanted to play, right, and I think, well, football.

620
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 3: Players are just wired differently than everyone else. He wanted

621
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: to come back last year.

622
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 7: And though the team was only three and eight, and

623
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 7: I think he's looking forward to this. You know, maybe

624
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 7: he comes down for the last five minutes and his

625
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 7: Brady v Burrow for to win, and that would be

626
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,239
Speaker 7: kind of exciting because he is baby Brady. So I

627
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 7: think I'd love to see him play on Saturday and

628
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 7: maybe put everybody's mind at he is that he still

629
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 7: loves football and still is the best of what he does.

630
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I'm with you, John, Thank you.

631
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 3: Anytime, fellas.

632
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: Have a great one.

633
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: Mike.

634
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: What's going on? Oh?

635
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 6: Tons of stuff? I got to have some skyline last night.

636
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 6: How about that nice like little kids. I ordered it

637
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 6: under a surreptitious name. It was a big project. It

638
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 6: was like being in prison or something. To get from

639
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 6: something that you're not supposed to have, you.

640
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 4: Do you often use a surreptitious name. Is Mike your

641
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 4: real name? Oh it's a good question.

642
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's my Michael William Is my real name?

643
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: Name?

644
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,719
Speaker 6: Is? What? Wow? I give you my last name? You

645
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 6: want my confirmation named Michael?

646
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: Will you send your social Security number?

647
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 6: Problem?

648
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 5: Uh?

649
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 6: You have liquid assets? Who cares you can't get them?

650
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 3: Oh? I know.

651
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 6: It was really cool man because my buddy that I

652
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 6: shared with from Illinois and he had never had Skyline.

653
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 6: He really liked it.

654
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: He was nice.

655
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 6: He was shocked. I hit him in a big five way.

656
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 6: We waited for the staff to leave, snuck out to

657
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 6: the microminder twelve o'clock at night. It's freaking hilarious. I'm

658
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 6: still laughing too hard. I'm sorry. I think the Reds

659
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 6: are going to go well, the Reds are when they're

660
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 6: talking to six six man rotation, it's kind of bots

661
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 6: starting with four with a four cores.

662
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think so? And I and again, when

663
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: when you lose hunter and Andrew Abbott hasn't been as sharp.

664
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: I think you you want to get as many of

665
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 2: your best arms on this roster and coming back to

666
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: Cincinnati as possible, and I think that is a lot

667
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: that goes into it.

668
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 6: I'll tell you Tampa is thrilled to hit Nick Martinez.

669
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 6: I listened to that sports tuck sometimes late at night,

670
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 6: and there were they really love Nick Martinez. I like Nick.

671
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was good here. I mean, I think the

672
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: price tag was probably too high, but I think for

673
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: what he was expected to be and what he delivered

674
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 2: on I think he was well worth what the Reds

675
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: put into him.

676
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 6: I do too. And Austin mentioned the n I T

677
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 6: what we call the not Invited Tournament, right, that's right

678
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 6: that nobody gives a rip about except the teams that

679
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 6: are in it. Here, I got some upsets for you.

680
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 6: Let me run by and out here. Okay, I got

681
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 6: I got Ohio State beating TCU. Okay, I got cal

682
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 6: Baptist knocked on. Because Peterson doesn't know show cal Baptists

683
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 6: has got a really nice team. They got a couple

684
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 6: of really big guys.

685
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 2: I think they got the third leading scorer in the

686
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 2: country as well, who can fill it up as a guard.

687
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got Louisville getting whipped by us F. USF's

688
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 6: got a pretty damn good team, Fellows, the more I

689
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 6: look at him.

690
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now Louisville without MIKEL. Brown, their best player,

691
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a tough one for the Cardinals.

692
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 6: It is, it is gonna be. I like that Iowa

693
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 6: Clemson matchup should be good at eight and nine. But

694
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 6: I like Iowa the kind of a bit. McNee State

695
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 6: I think will go ahead and knockoff Vanderbilt State's very

696
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 6: quiet team. The only problem with that region over there

697
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 6: is it's probably gonna end up with Florida and Houston

698
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 6: in the in the final over there or and it's

699
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 6: just it's just a shame it has to work out

700
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 6: like that. But and anyway, on the other side, I

701
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 6: got a I got Utah State knocking off Dollanola. I

702
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 6: got Hawaii. Now, this Hawaii team can rebound, Fellas, These

703
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 6: guys are really good. They're hitting those boards. And I

704
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 6: got them knocking off Arkansas. Arkansas. Wow, I'm knocking off Arkansas. Yeah,

705
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 6: I really do. Wait wait, do you watch You just

706
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 6: never hear about him? You never especially Hawaii. You never

707
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 6: see him, but I keep up with him since I

708
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 6: lived there years ago for so long, and then I

709
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 6: got missoo, uh well, that's not an upset, that's an

710
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 6: eight and I uh I like Saint Louis to beat Georgia.

711
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 6: Do you like Saint Louis Georgia?

712
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

713
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 5: Eight?

714
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 6: And I but here's by Cinderella the tournament. Akron's gonna

715
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 6: knock off. See, Miami's the team getting all the notoriety,

716
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 6: but Akron, I think, is really the better team. Akron's

717
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 6: gonna knock off. That's just tech. Then they're gonna go

718
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 6: ahead and knock off Alabama and then they'll they'll face

719
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 6: in Michigan. Those are okay, I like it.

720
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 2: I like it, Mike, thank you, yes, sir. It's an

721
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: interesting one because Alabama is a mess. That guy got

722
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: caught with two point one pounds of weed. He's like,

723
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: I don't sell it, I just smoke it, just smoke it. Okay, okay,

724
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: doesn't McNeese state they got the manager, the guy with

725
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 2: all the war Are we done with that guy? What

726
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 2: is his name?

727
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 4: He's his fifteen minutes gotta be Oh my gosh, it's

728
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 4: like manual or something.

729
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: I hate that. I say, I hope Vandy wins just

730
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 2: so we're done with him.

731
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it was cool last year when it's like, oh,

732
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 4: this is a guy that everybody likes.

733
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 2: And when they helped out a lot too.

734
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 4: When he's leaned into it, I'm like, he's become Yeah

735
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 4: he got the nil deal from beat Uh.

736
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a lot. It's like, Buddy, I'm over it.

737
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 6: What he.

738
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 2: Brings a boombox, I guess brings the noise.

739
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 4: It's like Trent Williams walking out of the Niners lock

740
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 4: with a boombox. Well, at least he's the best left

741
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 4: tackles in the world.

742
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: Those are two different folks. Yeah, one more and then

743
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: we'll get our break in Kenny, what's up?

744
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 5: Hey, what's going on?

745
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 3: Guys?

746
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 5: WBC? Isn't it a boxing association that Mike Tyson one?

747
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, these were exhibition games. People went a

748
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 5: little crazy, I think.

749
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 2: I think initially it was viewed that way, but the

750
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: way the teams embraced them, the way the teams talked

751
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: about and I thought, I don't know, I don't know

752
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: if you heard Derek Jeter in the pregame last night,

753
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 2: because They asked Jeter about a World Series versus the

754
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic, and he said, the people that are

755
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 2: saying that the World Baseball Classic is bigger probably just

756
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 2: never got to a World Series. And I agree with

757
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: that because the World Series is still the mecca.

758
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 4: But there were dudes that won the World Series that

759
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 4: said it's bigger than the World Series.

760
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 2: There are a lot of players playing for their nation

761
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: that said this is bigger in the environment, and I

762
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 2: think they leaned into that. I think it definitely felt

763
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: more than an exhibition. It definitely wasn't an exhibition. You're

764
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: playing for metals, you're playing for a trophy, playing for

765
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: your country. Yeah, it's more than an exhibition.

766
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 6: Kenny, Yeah, let me get this straight.

767
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: Now.

768
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 5: The Cistinai reds Suarez beats the USA team, a country

769
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 5: where he plays baseball with the game when he hit yeah,

770
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 5: and he made a bit of a fool of himself

771
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 5: after the game, going a little a little too crazy.

772
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: Why do you think you don't know? Why do you

773
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 2: think you think he made a fool out of himself?

774
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 6: At the end of the game when he was being interviewed.

775
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: Why do you think he made a fool out of himself.

776
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 5: Pound in his chest and carrying on about his team
