Speaker 2: finished the road trip. They lost the last two. It

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: was still a five and two road trip. They are still,

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: excuse me, eight and five. The Reds are off to

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: a good start. The Reds are off to a good start.

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: You may disagree with this. This is my perspective. I

30
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 2: think the Reds have a better baseball team than they

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: did last year.

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 3: Now it's not like last year.

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: Is this like awesome standard that they should be striving for.

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: They should be striving for more than eighty three victories.

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: But I think they do a lot of things better

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: than last year. They have yesterday. Notwithstanding, I guess they've

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: been a good defensive team, better I think than last year.

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: I think they have a bullpen, they have a deep

39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: starting staff, and they've overcome not having Hunter Green and Nicolodolo.

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: Sal Stewart is having an awesome season. I genuinely do believe.

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: And I say this sometimes I don't know to be

42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: obnoxious about how much I love sports wagering, but I

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: think there's a real, legitimate case that you can make

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 2: that he's going to be the National League Rookie of

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: the year, and you could bet on that, and I have,

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: and we'll see.

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: He's off to a great start. Likable guy.

48
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: He has given this team a jolt of what they

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: were looking for for so long last season. But they

50
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: don't have a very good offensive team. And you know,

51
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: you could say that and not feel like you're pouring

52
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: cold water on anybody's excitement. The question about the good

53
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: start is how can this continue? How can this be sustained?

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: How can it be better? And can it be sustained?

55
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: And can it continue? And can it get better? If

56
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: the Red remain near the bottom of the sport in

57
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: runs per game. Now you're getting assurances. I've read them,

58
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: I've heard them from the team itself. We're gonna be fine,

59
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna be okay. There are lots of player quotes

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: that originated from Miami toward the end of their stay,

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: the end of their series against the Marlins, where players

62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 2: insist we're gonna be fine, We're gonna be okay, don't

63
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: worry about it, don't panic. We're not panicking. You shouldn't

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: panic either, And that's all. Well, and good, But it's

65
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 2: a good question. How does this team get better offensively?

66
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 4: Now?

67
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: The obvious answer is a lot of guys are gonna

68
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: have to hit more, And that's true. Right we could

69
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: discuss what Nick Caral didn't do it the roster, and

70
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: we could debate the merits of Tito switching up the

71
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: batting order a little bit, trying somebody else in the

72
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: leadoff spot. Certainly there's merit to the idea that Reesehein

73
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: should be here. But like, if this team's gonna be

74
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: dramatically better offensively, that's gonna happen because dudes who are

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: on the team now hit better than they have so

76
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: far this year. Now, probably hear that and go, come on, man,

77
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: it's been thirteen games, small sample size, and that's true.

78
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: But I think this is fair to ask, and we've

79
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: done it here this week, and I'll do it again

80
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: right now. It is fair to ask which of these

81
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: guys has a track record that would suggest that they're

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: going to author this sort of seasons that make this

83
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: team's offense dramatically better than it's been so far this season,

84
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: And then it was last year. There's a lot of dudes.

85
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: You look at the numbers and you'll hear like they're

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: gonna be fine.

87
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: TJ.

88
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: Friedl will hit and Tyler Stevenson will hit, or Key

89
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: Brian Hayes will hit. Maybe, But like, if you're gonna

90
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: pat somebody on the head and tell him this team's

91
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: going to hit, what is that based on now? Answer

92
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: number one is it's based on Sal Stewart.

93
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: Awesome.

94
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: An answer number two might be Elie dela Cruz is

95
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: healthy and by the way, he has been productive. Love

96
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: everything I've seen from Ellie de la Cruz in the

97
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: field and at the plate so far this season. But

98
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: if you look around the lineup, and you look around

99
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: the team and you see a lot of guys who

100
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: aren't having great seasons, you may argue that their numbers

101
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: right now aren't what they're going to look like in

102
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: a month. You know, once we're no longer dealing with

103
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: smallish sample sizes. But like, who among Matt McClain, TJ. Friedel,

104
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: Spencer Steer, Tyler Stevenson, Key, Brian Hayes, Will Benson, who

105
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: is the guy that you look at and go, you

106
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 2: know what, that player is going to be much much,

107
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: much much better.

108
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: And I just know it, You know you are your

109
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: track record.

110
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: I remember it's twenty sixteen and Joey Vado got off

111
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: to just a miserable start to the season, and the

112
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: miserable start to the season continued for a while, so

113
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: much so that on June first, he was batting two fifteen.

114
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: Now because it was Joey Vado, because he for some reason,

115
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: became polarizing. You obviously had people who were losing their mind.

116
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: Can't believe he's not hitting. He look at the money

117
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: that he's making. He's not carrying his weight. It's an

118
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: overly inflated contract. He's never gonna live up to the money.

119
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: And my takeaway was, Okay, he's had a bad two

120
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: months and that's not good. His numbers are going to

121
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: be fine.

122
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: Now.

123
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, that twenty sixteen team was wretched, so it really

124
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: didn't matter. But I remember going, like, dude, is Joey

125
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: Vado Like that guy's probably gonna be in the Hall

126
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: of Fame one day. He's got a track record. He

127
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: will bounce back. And he bounced back, and he got

128
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: MVP votes that year. You believed in Joey because of

129
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: his track record. Who here has a track record that's

130
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: worth believing in You could tell me, because you want

131
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: TJ Friedel to start hitting more, that he's gonna start

132
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: hitting more. Why should I believe you? That sounds harsh,

133
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: It sounds mean to TJ. TJ's had a nice stay

134
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: here in Cincinnati, but I think the troubling thing with him,

135
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: and you could apply this to a lot of guys.

136
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: TJ Friedo the last like ninety to ninety five games

137
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: of the season last year was not good. So how

138
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: am I to believe that what he's done so far

139
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: this season isn't a continuation of his rotten second half

140
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: last year. Matt McClain's had some really good games. And

141
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: I don't look at Matt's numbers and put a ton

142
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: of stock into them, because I think he's had some

143
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: games this year where you feel like it's a different

144
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: Matt McLain from last season, but the numbers do look

145
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: similar to last year's. Matt McClain built up enough of

146
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: a track record for you to go, you know what,

147
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: the Reds two hole production is going to be better

148
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: than twenty third in baseball, which is what it is

149
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: right now. I don't mean to pick on some of

150
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: these guys individually, but they have a lot of guys

151
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: who either didn't have good seasons last year and aren't

152
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: having good seasons this year, or had a lot of

153
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: issues production issues toward the end of the season last

154
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: year and they're having some now. Noelve Marte, Noel Marte

155
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: the last six seven weeks of the season last year,

156
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: not very productive this year when he's played, not very productive.

157
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: Tyler Stevenson season last year kind of underwhelming so far

158
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: this year kind of underwhelming, and frankly, we could probably

159
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: get rid of the term kind of as we talk

160
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: about the underwhelming part of Tyler Stevenson season. So like

161
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: there is I think the reason for it concerned that

162
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: a lot of these guys that were talking about not

163
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: carrying their weight well last year for large stretches of

164
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 2: the season, or for some of the last few weeks

165
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: of the season, or for some of these guys, the

166
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: entire season left a lot to be desired. If they

167
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: leave a lot to be desired this year, you wonder, like,

168
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: when are thing's gonna change? So yeah, man, I get it.

169
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: They're eight and five. This is a team that can

170
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 2: and should contend this season because they are going to

171
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: be better at hitting a long ball. The Sal Stewart,

172
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: infusion of production quality at bats energy. You know, you

173
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 2: can measure it statistically, but you really have to watch

174
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 2: the team to understand what his impact has been. And

175
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: Elie de la Cruz sign me up for everything he's

176
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: done so far this year. But they're still struggling to

177
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: score runs. Other guys have to carry their weight? Which

178
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: ones will? And I guess along with that, the longer

179
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: some of those guys go without carrying their weight, the

180
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: more you then wonder, well, now, what what are you

181
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: gonna do? What are you gonna do to fix it?

182
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do to replace some of these guys.

183
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: It's not about being negative for the sake of being negative.

184
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: It's not about putting too much stock into early season numbers.

185
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: It's folding the early season numbers into for some of

186
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 2: these guys, a lack of overall track record, or, in

187
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: Kee Brian Hayes's case, numbers that aren't that sharp a

188
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: departure from his normal because his normal isn't all that good.

189
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: Five point three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty is our

217
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: sit in here and amuse myself. Reds and Angels six

218
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 2: forty five is tonight's first pitch. The Reds are eight

219
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: and five, and tonight's game is on Apple TV Friday

220
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: Night Baseball. Their coverage is good. Heidi Wattney is a

221
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: part of their coverage. She is the dugout reporter, so

222
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: to speak, and kind enough to give us some time.

223
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: Here's what I think is cool about the game tonight.

224
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: Mike Trout's in town, and so Mike Trout will get

225
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: a chance Heidi to tell his grandkids that he got

226
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 2: a chance to play in the same game as Sal Stewart.

227
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 5: That's true, That is true. Yeah, South Stewart's is he's

228
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 5: a dynamic player. And I remember Terry friends, I'm telling

229
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 5: us about him last year when we were there. He said,

230
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 5: We've got.

231
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 7: A couple of young guys that are coming.

232
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 5: That are really and I'm very excited about and he's

233
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 5: definitely one of them. He's up to a great start

234
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 5: this year.

235
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: Lots of storylines, I got to think at the center

236
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: of it all, and obviously the starting pitchers are usually

237
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: a big part of any broadcast, but you get a

238
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: chance to introduce Chase Burns.

239
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: To the country.

240
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 5: Chase Burns has had a great start to this season.

241
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 5: And yeah, that's one of the fun parts about Normally

242
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 5: we have Don Trell Willis on our broadcast, He's not

243
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 5: going to be there this week. We have Yonder Alonzo,

244
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 5: but d Train is so good at breaking down the pictures.

245
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 5: But Yonder Alonzo actually has a really great relationship with

246
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 5: South Stewart. He's cousins with Manny Machado, so I know

247
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 5: Many's been a mentor to sal So it's just interesting

248
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 5: when you get that close to the game with the

249
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 5: former players that we work with on our Apple broadcast,

250
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 5: how they can really bring you inside what the players

251
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 5: are thinking about. But Chas is off to a fantastic year.

252
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 5: Let's hope he keeps it rolling tonight against the Angels,

253
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 5: although not for Angels fans sake.

254
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 3: Right exactly.

255
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: You got to talk about this on the broadcast, and

256
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: I'd say Yonder Alonzo. Yonder Alonzo was a Red and

257
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: they traded him to the Padres and maybe this will

258
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 2: come up this evening, But before he got traded to

259
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: San Diego, you know, the Reds had Joey Vado. Yonder

260
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: Alonzo when he came up was so good that there

261
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: were actually folks and I'm not going to admit to

262
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: being one of them, but there were actually folks who

263
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: believed that the red should move Joey Vada to left

264
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: field to make room for Yonder Alonzo at first base

265
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: in an alternate universe.

266
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 3: I still want to know what that would have looked like.

267
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 5: That is I have to ask him about that, because

268
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 5: that's amazing. Yeah, I mean, I think Jolly Vado turned

269
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 5: out to be pretty good for the Reds, right, you know,

270
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 5: only one of their greatest players of all time and

271
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 5: such a fun personality too. But Yonder's Yonder's amazed as well.

272
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 5: And he's one of those guys, you know, like six

273
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 5: degrees of separation. He knows everybody he's either related to

274
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 5: or knows or is a cousin of, or somehow he

275
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 5: has got his finger on the pulse of like everyone

276
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 5: in Major League Baseball. He's such a fascinating guy, and

277
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 5: he has so many different experiences, right from all the

278
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 5: teams he played for and catching in first base and

279
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 5: knowing what it's like to struggle and to be traded

280
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 5: and to move around. I mean, I think that perspective

281
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 5: really helps when you're trying to bring players closer to

282
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 5: the broadcast.

283
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: All Right, see, I.

284
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 5: Guy, it was great to talk to the Hall of famers,

285
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,119
Speaker 5: but you know, they sure.

286
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: Sure they have exactly no Yonder Alonzo Sports Talk Radio

287
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: twenty eleven Hall of Famer because we got a lot

288
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: of mileage out of that, as hard as that might

289
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: be to believe. So obviously we're going to talk Salas

290
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: to Heart, We're going to talk Chase Burns. You're going

291
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: to talk about a Reds team that made the postseason

292
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: last year, high hopes here in Cincinnati. Give me an

293
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: idea of some of the other things you're looking forward

294
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: to tapping into tonight.

295
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 5: Well, we've got a meeting of the low brothers, which

296
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 5: I was just just going through their history with their

297
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 5: mother who passed away just this spring from brain cancer.

298
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 5: And it's such a close, tight knit family and this

299
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 5: is the first time that they'll both be in a game.

300
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 5: I know Nathaniel's not playing as much for the Reds

301
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 5: as Josh is. He's pretty much solidified himself out there

302
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 5: in the outfield with the Angels. But their story with

303
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 5: their mother and how supportive she was of both of

304
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: her boys coming up is just such a special and

305
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 5: unique one, and I think that, you know, if they

306
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 5: both get into a game this weekend, yeah, I think

307
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 5: we can see big things out of them, just because

308
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 5: that emotional connection. There's something about baseball right It's such

309
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 5: a romantic sport and it seems to reward those types

310
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 5: of stories, which I just love. And I don't know

311
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 5: if you missed it, but Joe Adell with his amazing

312
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 5: three home run robbery night last Saturday. I'm going to

313
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 5: be talking to him in the pregame show, so we'll

314
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 5: introduce red fans to that story if they're not already aware.

315
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 5: His glove is going to Coop Town. People are saying,

316
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 5: you know, the best best defensive game in the history

317
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 5: of baseball. We've got a lot of elements with that.

318
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 7: You know.

319
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: Geno Suarez has been such a great impact on this

320
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 5: Reds team, and him coming back you know, the interesting

321
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 5: thing is I we did a game here last year,

322
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 5: Reds and d Backs, and Gino was on the d

323
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 5: Backs at the time, and he said, you know this

324
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 5: place like, I love coming back here. This is my

325
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 5: favorite ballpark. My girls are always asking when we get

326
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 5: to come back here, And sure enough, he came back here.

327
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 5: And I'm sure that his impact on that clubhouse is

328
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 5: immeasurable because he's just such a great dude. And I

329
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: love the protection in the lineups he's giving. I mean,

330
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 5: you've got Ellie, You've got Sally, you've got Geno. That's

331
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 5: a that's a good you know, three four five in

332
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 5: your order. And I know it hasn't always panned out

333
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 5: in the early going, but I think that these this

334
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 5: team can get rolling and click and TJ Friedel, I mean,

335
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 5: you're gonna see him bounce back. He's he's a better

336
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 5: player than he started off this season. I think that

337
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 5: we'll see him become the great lead off hitteries again.

338
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 5: So all that stuff which Red fans are certainly aware of.

339
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 5: And then you know, we'll see if Jorge Solaire, if

340
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: his suspension is upheld. I think that news should be

341
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 5: coming down soon. So he might actually, you know, the

342
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: Reds might catch a break if he's out for this

343
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 5: entire series. If that, if that ruling should probably come

344
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 5: down soon. I would imagine it's going to come today

345
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 5: and if not, maybe tomorrow. But that's going to be

346
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 5: coming soon. And yeah, I mean this, this Angel's team

347
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 5: is also rolling in the early going. I think we're

348
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 5: seeing both of these teams. They've been on the cusp

349
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 5: right and the Reds got there. They got to the

350
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 5: postseason last year and they're looking to build off of

351
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 5: that and they certainly made the moves to do that.

352
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 5: But this Angel's team, I think is a lot better

353
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 5: than people give them credit for. And a lot of

354
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 5: people have discounted the Angels because they have struggled for

355
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 5: quite a few years now. But this team is looking

356
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 5: good and the early going. They've got Kurtsuzuki at the

357
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 5: helm now and Trout has spoke glowingly of his impact

358
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 5: on this team. And when you've got young guys and

359
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 5: you've got a player who's been there recently, I mean,

360
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 5: look at Stephen Vote in Cleveland and how well that

361
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 5: worked out. And I was curious to see too, because

362
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 5: he was a he's a players guy, and he's a

363
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 5: fun guy, and he's a clubhouse guy, and how would

364
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 5: he command respect inside that clubhouse? And he's one manager

365
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 5: of the year back to back years and taking a

366
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 5: team to the postseason. So it's worked out pretty well,

367
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 5: and I think krit Zyduki is going to have that

368
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 5: kind of impact with the Angels. It's just whether their

369
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 5: pitching can stay healthy, because that's been a struggle for them,

370
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 5: and if their offense can hit the way that they

371
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 5: think they can, and if Mike Trout can stay healthy.

372
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 5: But by all accounts, he says he feels great right now.

373
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 5: I think he's rejuvenated. He's gone back in time.

374
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's funny, Mike Trout.

375
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: It feels like just yesterday was the MVP of the

376
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 2: All Star Game here, nearly eleven years ago. And man,

377
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: if you would have told me then that we would

378
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 2: still be waiting to watch him perform in the postseason

379
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 2: for the first time since I guess the year before,

380
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: I would have said, there's no way. And yet that's

381
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 2: that's where we are. By the way, you mentioned Jorge Solaire,

382
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: so he's facing suspension. Maybe the Reds catch a break.

383
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 2: As baseball fights go though, Heidi and you've seen a

384
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 2: bunch does a pretty good tussle.

385
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 5: It was the most amazing thing to me is Helix

386
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 5: stood there and thought about it for a minute. Let

387
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 5: the place play out, you know, the stolen bases, he's safe,

388
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 5: and he's like, yeah, you know what, I just don't

389
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 5: like that. I'm just not gonna stand for it. He

390
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 5: thought about it. It wasn't just a reaction. I mean,

391
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 5: it's obviously a reaction, but he thought about it. And look, hey,

392
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 5: if someone was thrown you know, ninety five near my head,

393
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 5: I don't think i'd react very well either. So yeah,

394
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 5: he has been he's been really good for them in

395
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 5: the early going this year, and especially since that fight,

396
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 5: it seems to have ignited a little fire. So for

397
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 5: Reds fan's sake, I mean, look, it's always fun to

398
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 5: watch the superstars the sport, and to see where he's

399
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 5: Hilaire hit in this ballpark would be kind of fun,

400
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 5: but for Angels fans at least. But yeah, the Reds

401
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 5: might catch a break there because I would expect that

402
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 5: his appeal is going to be coming down soon, so

403
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 5: we'll see. But yeah, that was a pretty good tussle there.

404
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 5: There's definitely some history and Walt Weiss don't flitch.

405
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 3: Yes the manager.

406
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 5: Yes, we just did the Brave game last week and

407
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 5: I was talking with one of the coaches on Weiss's staff,

408
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 5: and I'm not going to out him, but he said,

409
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 5: you know, in spring training, every morning and I go

410
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 5: to the gym, I think I'm doing good, I'm staying healthy.

411
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 5: He would be in there before me and he's lifting

412
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 5: double me and he's in his sixties and he's put

413
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 5: me to shame. He's like, Walt Weiss is just a beast.

414
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 5: He's a black belt typewondo. I mean, he's you don't

415
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 5: want to match with Walt Weiss. And you could see

416
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 5: the way if you swum all the video and watch

417
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 5: the way he tackled. He tackled him to not injure him,

418
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 5: to just stop the fights, like he wrapped him up,

419
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 5: make sure that nies were protected, took him to the ground.

420
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 5: And Solaire has said like now we're good, we have

421
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 5: a good relationship. I'm not mad at him at all. Yeah,

422
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 5: there's so many elements to unpack from that. Fvice great.

423
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 2: Well, the thing about Walt Weiss, right, so he when

424
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 2: I you know, I'm old. So when I was a kid,

425
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 2: he was the shortstop on the A's Red's beat the

426
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: A's in the ninety World Series. What Weiss was like

427
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 2: this like puny, thin shortstop. And now he's like, he's

428
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: exactly what you just described. The transformation of what wise

429
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: from his from his twenties to his early sixties has

430
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: been remarkable.

431
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 5: It is remarkable. It is remarkable. You know. It's funny.

432
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 5: I see so many former players when I and you

433
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 5: know who are now analysts or working around the game

434
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 5: in some way, shape or fashion. I'm like, gosh, you

435
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 5: look you look amazing. You look strong, you look like

436
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 5: you could go out there and hit a couple of balls.

437
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 5: And they're like, yeah, when when we're not subject to

438
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 5: MLB's very strict testing policies about what you can and

439
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 5: can't take in terms of supplements, you know, we're good.

440
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 5: So I don't know that Walt Weiss is taking any supplements,

441
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 5: but but yeah, he's he's definitely strong and he's doing

442
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 5: well for a man who's sixty two years old.

443
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: One more because you have a broadcast to prep for

444
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: it tonight. Heidi Watney from Apple TV Reds Are on Friday,

445
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: Night Baseball and Apple TV tonight against the Angels, first pitch,

446
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: six forty five. So that the big story in the

447
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: sport for the first two plus weeks has been ABS,

448
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 2: and I feel like we've the way that we've talked

449
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: about it has slowed down a little bit because we've

450
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 2: all gotten used to it. I love it. I think

451
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: it's added a dimension of strategy. Fans at the ballpark

452
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 2: get into it. I think it's actually made the public realize,

453
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: and a lot of folks feel the opposite. I think

454
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: it's made the public realize how hard being a homeplate

455
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: umpire is and.

456
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 3: How good most of these guys are.

457
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: As you've covered the sport, when you talk to players,

458
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: when you talk to people in it, are folks settling in?

459
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: Is there a different angle on ABS that you weren't expecting?

460
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 2: Give me a minute on ABS.

461
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting. Every single person in and around

462
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: the game that I have talked to loves it, loves it,

463
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 5: and there was so much resistance last spring training, right

464
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 5: you heard Max Sure's a railing against it. And I

465
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 5: haven't had a chance to talk to maxim person yet,

466
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 5: so I will be interested because he always has a

467
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 5: very informed and interesting take on the sport of baseball,

468
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 5: but I would be willing to let that he likes

469
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 5: how it's been implemented as well. My trout loved it. Again,

470
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 5: every manager and player I've talked to, you don't want

471
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 5: to end a game the way the World Baseball Classic ended, right,

472
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 5: a game that matters, and that hasn't really happened in

473
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 5: the early going, but we've seen it effect outcomes of

474
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 5: that bets. Like I said, we just did the Brave

475
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 5: Diamondbacks last week. They had an inning Thursday, the night

476
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 5: before our game where all the alb's challenged. He was

477
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 5: the first batter of an inning, but he challenged, and

478
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 5: he drew a walk instead of striking out, and that

479
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 5: set up the eight run inning. They wouldn't have scored

480
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 5: any of those runs had he made an out as

481
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 5: the first at back, because the next two betters did

482
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 5: what they did anyway. So it just it's interesting how

483
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 5: it's impacting the game. But you're right, for the most part,

484
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 5: were the misses. And I love that it shows it's

485
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 5: a point eight inches off the plate, less than an

486
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 5: inch or one point one inches or whatever you're seeing

487
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 5: that it's such a game of literal inches in baseball,

488
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 5: but especially with the ABS strike zone, that even the

489
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 5: misses for the most part are really dialed in and

490
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 5: really close, and it is showing that. I mean, there's

491
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 5: been a couple of umpires that have gotten that have

492
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 5: had bad days and as Aaron Boone Aaron Boone said,

493
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 5: did not make an adjustment. But for the most part,

494
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 5: it's really highlighting how good they are and how tough

495
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 5: it is to be a picture and hit a pinpoint spot,

496
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 5: and how tough it is to have a good eye.

497
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 5: I mean, Logan o'hapi's been one of the best in baseball.

498
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 5: I think he's ten for twelve on challenges as a catcher.

499
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a really good ratio. So he will

500
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 5: be behind the dish tonight for the Angels and we'll see.

501
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 5: But it's been a lot of people are just saying, look,

502
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 5: it's it's writing some that we the public can now

503
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 5: be right with all of the technology that we have.

504
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 5: It's just fixing something that so people aren't going to

505
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 5: be so angry. And hey, if you had an opportunity

506
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 5: to challenge and you didn't challenge, that's not on you.

507
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 5: You can't get mad at the umpire for that, and

508
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 5: you do have to have some strategy with it. So

509
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 5: it's incorporating even more strategy in a game that already

510
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 5: has so much strategy. But for the thinkers, for the

511
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 5: baseball thinkers, it's really fun. Do we use it here?

512
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 5: Do we not use it here? Most of the managers

513
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 5: and players I've talked to. The managers are like, look,

514
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 5: if it's really in the game, or if it's a

515
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 5: low leverage situation, you better be one hundred percent if

516
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 5: you're going to challenge, and less so if it's a

517
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 5: sticky situation or late in the game or something that

518
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 5: can be really impactful. If you're pretty sure, you can challenge.

519
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 5: But a lot of people have said, and I heard

520
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 5: Tito say this the other day, they want to kind

521
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 5: of use it strategically as well late in the game

522
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 5: if they need an extra time out for their picture.

523
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 5: It's almost can be saved as an extra time out, like, hey,

524
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 5: let's challenge, take a beat, get a breath, if you're

525
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 5: out of mound visits. It's just kind of an extra

526
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 5: way to do it that way too. So it's all strategy.

527
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 5: Baseball has become such a game of chess, and I.

528
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 7: Just love it. I think it's so much fun.

597
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: and you have the brand new Long Necks in Hebron,

598
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: which I was just having a conversation earlier today with

599
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: somebody who just checked out the new Hebron Long Necks

600
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: spot and loved it as much as I do. So

601

Speaker 2: if you're looking for a place to post up this weekend,

602
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: you gotta love Long Necks.

603
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 3: We love them. FC Cincinnati.

604
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 2: FC Cincinnati came out of the International break with a

605
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: slightly different look, and it felt like the offensive attack

606
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: had a little bit more pep to it. Unfortunately, boy

607
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: FC Cincinnati's defensive issues persisted and the familiar result was

608
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: painful for a Pat Noonan in club.

609
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 3: They lose at New York for too.

610
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 2: They're back on the road for a day match tomorrow

611
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: against Toronto on Apple TV. Callum Williams from Apple TV

Speaker 2: has the call and kind enough to join us. Calum,

617
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: I'd be doing better if if FC Cincinnati was showing

618
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: off its normal form. That hasn't been That hasn't been

619
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: the case so far this season. But I do feel

620
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: like Pat Noonan went out of his way after the

621
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: last match to kind of cling to some positives. Do

622
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: you feel like that's the right approach?

623
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 4: Well?

624
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 10: I think they need to, don't they, because this season

625
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 10: so far has been anything but positive. And we've seen

626
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 10: one or two flashes, no doubt about it, with the

627
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 10: victories against the likes of Montreal, which I'm going to

628
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 10: be subtally honest, having covered Montreal a lot last season

629
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 10: to see that Cincinnati should be beating fairly certainly convincingly,

630
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 10: not in the manner in which they did that. The

631
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 10: win in Atlanta against Atlanta rather on Opening Day was

632
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 10: was a step in the right direction, But with regards

633
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 10: to the games that they've lost, it's the way that

634
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 10: they've lost them in the manner in which they've lost

635
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 10: them as well. I think for such a long time

636
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 10: when Cincinnati and you guys were no better than I will.

637
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 10: When Cincinnati first came into Major League soccer, it was

638
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 10: the back line that was the real problem, and the

639
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 10: obvious problem as well, because they were conceding so many goals.

640
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 10: And it feels as though they've done some of a

641
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 10: bit of a loop really in the sense of from

642
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 10: an attacking perspective, they're a delight when they are in

643
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 10: full flow.

644
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 4: The likes of Kevin Denk and.

645
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 10: Evander when he's on his day are some of the

646
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 10: best in Major League soccer. But from a defensive perspective,

647
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 10: it at times has been it's been cringe worthy. They've

648
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 10: considered eighteen goals in the last four games in all

649
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 10: competitions that that is just absolutely abysmal. From a numerical perspective,

650
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 10: you cannot expect to achieve anything if you're conceding the

651
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 10: amount of goals.

652
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 4: That they are now. Look, obviously they've had injury issues.

653
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 10: Matt Leyaska is getting himself back into full flow. Myles Robinson,

654
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 10: to my understanding, has picked up an injury. Albus Power

655
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 10: is injured, I think, or being a warbardole to my

656
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 10: understanding is day by day, particularly Robinson and Warbardo, those

657
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 10: are big pieces to miss and it feels as though

658
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 10: this Sefsy Cincinnati jigsaw has yet to really have all

659
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 10: the pieces put together in it.

660
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 4: I don't know what to expect for the game against Toronto.

661
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 10: Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if the approach is let's

662
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 10: just get back to basics. Let's try and not conceive goals.

663
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 10: Let's try and stop this woeful leak and see if

664
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 10: we can hit on the counter press and see if

665
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 10: we can hit on the counter attack and find something

666
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 10: from set pieces that's a positive. You know that the

667
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 10: set pieces from an attacking perspective have been good this year.

668
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 10: But look, this is a Toronto FC side that, I think,

669
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 10: for the first time since March April of twenty twenty three,

670
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 10: are unbeaten in four They've found their form. They're amongst

671
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 10: a huge home stretch. They've got at nine home games

672
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 10: in a row. This will be their fifth. It's a

673
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 10: tough place to go Toronto has particularly given the fact

674
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 10: they've spent over twenty million dollars on Jush Sargent, the

675
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 10: US national simps center forward.

676
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 4: So this is not an easy place to go.

677
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 10: But I feel like FC Cincinnati can find a way

678
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 10: in Toronto. They've just got to stop conceding these silly goals.

679
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 3: Well you know you mentioned and I was going to

680
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: go there next.

681
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: Is this the sort of team that can expose those

682
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: massive weaknesses that for FC Cincinnati unfortunately have kind of

683
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 2: dominated the discourse this season.

684
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 4: Well, we saw it didn't wear your TQL stadium.

685
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 10: What was it a month ago when Toronto were visiting

686
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 10: and Daniel Shallowy, who I think has been a magnificent

687
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 10: signing for Toronto FC, was absolutely sublime. In let's be honest,

688
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 10: a very average Kansas City team over the course of

689
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 10: the last five years or so, he's given them a

690
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 10: new dimension and adding Josh Sargents has put them up

691
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 10: a level even more so.

692
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 5: So.

693
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 10: I look, I don't know obviously what formations Toronto are

694
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 10: going to play tomorrow. I find it hard to believe

695
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 10: that they would shift from what's been at least in

696
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 10: possession of four three three, which does insinuate that a

697
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 10: lot of the attacking phases.

698
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 4: Will come in the wide area.

699
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 10: So I think that's where Cincinnati has been beaten from

700
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 10: the games that I've seen them. It's when the fullbacks

701
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 10: of the back fiver are to push forwards, which is

702
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 10: common in any team that's playing a back five or

703
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 10: a back three, regardless of which way you look at it,

704
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 10: and there is a responsibility on the wing backs. But

705
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 10: if they are pressing forward and they are being asked

706
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 10: to join in on the attack and defensively, that can

707
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 10: leave you exposed, and particularly on the road in Major

708
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 10: League soccer. And Daniel Shallow he is one of those

709
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 10: players that he's very smart in his movement both on

710
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 10: and off football. It wouldn't supplies me if he got

711
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 10: himself involved and got a couple of chances against Cincinnati

712
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 10: over the course of the game, because I think he's

713
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 10: one of these players that it's very dynamic. He can

714
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 10: be that traditional wide player and get in behind, but

715
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 10: he can also tuck in from the left on what

716
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 10: seems to be his favorite right foot as well, though

717
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 10: he seems equally is deadly on his left, so that's

718
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 10: a problem. But honestly, look I really think that this

719
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 10: is this is a tough task. This is a really

720
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 10: tough one for Cincinnati at the moments. Home games on

721
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 10: the horizon against Chicago awaiting New York City's really difficult

722
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 10: at home to Red Bull. There's some really tough edge.

723
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 10: This is not an ease unique Major League soccer is

724
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 10: right now. In my opinion, this is a top ten

725
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 10: league in the world right now. And I'm fortunate enough

726
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 10: to have covered a lot of world football during my career,

727
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 10: and this is up there now with with regards to quality.

728
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 10: And I think Cincinnati right now they just need a

729
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 10: break as well.

730
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 4: They need they need Evander.

731
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 10: They need den Ca to to start combining a little

732
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 10: more regularly as well. A lot of it rides on

733
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 10: the shoulders of Evander, which I'm not inside is sure

734
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 10: how fair that is. And the counter argument there as well, Yeah,

735
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 10: you know, he costs a lot of money, he's a

736
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 10: designating player. He should be delivering, and I accept that

737
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 10: argument for sure, but it's the supporting cast that have

738
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 10: really got to start delivering around both him and Kevin Dana.

739
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 10: But I guess the council argument to the counter argument

740
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 10: is well that there's a lot of players that are

741
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 10: still getting into their groove and the likes of Blind

742
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 10: Ramirez and end At Chinik are showing flashes, but they

743
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 10: just need to be more consistent.

744
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 2: And you know, you know, we don't want to speculate

745
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: too much, but according to the Athletic, we're going after Neymar,

746
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 2: so that you know, that could solve everything.

747
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 4: Well possibly.

748
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 10: I mean, look, Neymar is almost like rolling your dice,

749
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 10: isn't it.

750
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 4: I just I don't know.

751
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 10: I really don't know with Neymar because oh my word, guys,

752
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 10: I mean, look, on his day, he is he's the

753
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 10: game changer, right, He's still world class. And I have

754
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 10: a lot of friends who cover the Brazil Lai down

755
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 10: in Brazil and have said to me he's he's still

756
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 10: absolutely top tier. He just needs to put himself in

757
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 10: the right situation. I cover a lot of French football guys,

758
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 10: and whenever I'm overcovering games in France, my friends and

759
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 10: journalists I know that that cover Pakistan Schiman on a

760
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 10: regular basis say yeah, there were times that he when

761
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 10: he was at PHG, there were times that they were

762
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 10: convinced he was the best player on the planets, like

763
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 10: he's got it in him right, But coming to Major

764
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 10: League soccer is such an anomaly for so many foreign

765
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 10: players because it's so different. And if he comes in,

766
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 10: I'm assuming he will be paid a decent amount of money.

767
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 10: The expectation will be there. And I'm not saying there's

768
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 10: not expectation on him at Santos, because there absolutely is.

769
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 10: Right now, he's the star of the show in Brazil.

770
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 10: But I just question what sort of an attitude he

771
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 10: would have. We've got a glimpse of when he went

772
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 10: over to the Saudi Pro League without Kilal and it

773
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 10: just didn't work. And I think this might This could

774
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 10: very well be a similar situation if if.

775
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: Indeed something happens.

776
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 10: But look, what I will say about this is I'm

777
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 10: told that it's it is legitimately primary talks like that,

778
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 10: this is preliminary talks, I think is probably the better

779
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 10: word for it. Preliminary in capital letters, I think is

780
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 10: probably the best way to describe it. Has there's been

781
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 10: a very very small conversation which I don't know which

782
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 10: end it was. One end of the conversation saw the

783
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 10: phone being picked up, and that's all it is.

784
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 4: At the moment to my understanding.

785
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 10: But I mean, look, There's one thing it would do,

786
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 10: would drive interest, It would it would bring in international attention.

787
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 10: We've all seen what has happened to Major League soccer

788
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 10: since Messi has been here. This would be an incredible

789
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 10: coop for e FC Cincinnati off the field for sure,

790
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 10: and on the field. I'm sure it would be remarkable.

791
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 10: But I just I don't know. There's something about it

792
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 10: right now where I I question him, I really do.

793
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 4: I don't know.

794
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 10: Look, I'm sure he would be magnificent, but I just

795
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 10: don't know if it's the right move for FC Cincinnati

796
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 10: right now.

797
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 2: Well, it's got people talking and we'll see.

798
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens. It's it's interesting.

799
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: Nonetheless, First things first, got to show better for him

800
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 2: against Toronto at one o'clock, a road match for the

819
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 2: to be specific, and our next guest has been kind

820
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 2: enough to join us for years, for years to talk

821
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: about the draft and specifically from a Bengals perspective.

822
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 3: He's with CBS Sports.

823
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 2: He's part of the Pushing the Pile podcast formerly from

824
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: Pro Football Focus, and a guy who wants and I

825
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: bring this up every year just as patiently as possible.

826
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: Sat at the Holy Grail once on Opening Day and

827
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 2: just answered every conceivable draft question I had. The great

828
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: Mike Renner is with us. It's good to have you, sir.

829
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 2: How are you.

830
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 9: I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on mel. I

831
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 9: appreciate you doing this tenth overall.

832
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 2: If things go the way I want picks one through nine.

833
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 3: Who's there? Who do I want? I think it's Kale Downs.

834
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 9: I mean it's easy, obviously being in Ohio to say

835
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 9: you want the Ohio statehid. But it's like he is

836
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 9: everything the Bengals need on their back end. He's reliable,

837
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 9: he's a great tackler, he's a leader.

838
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 3: He you know, for.

839
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 9: He kicks all the boxes and for a defense and

840
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 9: for a team that has had so many picks on

841
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 9: the defensive side of the ball plate that just have

842
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 9: been like boober Buss type guys that really haven't worked out.

843
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 4: This is the opposite.

844
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 9: This is the guy you know day one is a

845
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 9: starter and quality starter for you. I think that alone

846
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 9: is why I'm intrigued with him.

847
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 2: If he's there and they say no in favor of

848
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: somebody else, we'll talk about who that other person may be.

849
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 2: But what would be what would be the downside to

850
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 2: take in him?

851
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 9: The downside is that he is smaller for safety, he

852
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 9: does not have the wingspan that traditionally goes top ten.

853
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 3: Truly, if you're looking.

854
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 9: For downsize outside of that, there's not any I can

855
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 9: see on tape. I mean, this kind is a true

856
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 9: freshman starter at dB for Alabama. Those don't come around

857
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 9: every year. There's a reason he's being talked about in

858
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 9: rarefied air. It's because that's what his tape was from

859
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 9: freshman year to sophomore year to junior year in college.

860
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 2: If he's not there, who do I want?

861
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 9: It gets harrier after that. I think Ruben Bain is

862
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 9: the dream the Miami defensive ends. I don't know if

863
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 9: the Bengals would even pick him though, with his short

864
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 9: arms and what they prefer at that position. So after that,

865
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 9: I think it's Corner. I think the dream scenario for

866
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 9: me for the Bengals specifically is Jermad McCoy after Kayla Downs,

867
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 9: because Jamal McCoy, the Tennessee corner, is a pure man

868
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 9: cover corner. He is a guy that if you pair

869
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 9: him with DJ Turner, you might have the second best

870
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 9: man covered sandem in the NFL outside of what they

871
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 9: have in Denverer. Like that's what you could do and

872
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 9: what would be at Al Golden's disposal with a guy

873
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 9: like that.

874
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 7: The only problems just didn't play last year.

875
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 9: But the Bengals have taken risks on guys like that,

876
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 9: and at his pro day he looked like the guy

877
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 9: whose sophomore tape was the best tape of any cornerback

878
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 9: in the country. So because of that, I think it's

879
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 9: one of those two guys. Is who If the Bengals

880
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 9: don't get one of those two guys, the drop off

881
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 9: in terms of how good I feel about the pick

882
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 9: is probably pretty drastic.

883
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: Fling it back to Baine for me, we all know

884
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: the short arms. It's not a criticism, it's there like that,

885
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 2: That's what it is. How much how much should that

886
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: disqualify him? Should it be as much of a factor

887
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 2: as many are making it.

888
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 3: Out to be.

889
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 9: I don't think so. I mean, Geno Atkins didn't have

890
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 9: that long arms. He worked out pretty good on the interior.

891
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 9: And the way he plays is I think the thing

892
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 9: that gives me that he can get overcoming. He doesn't

893
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 9: win with his lengths. He wins with leverage and play strength.

894
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 9: And I've said he treats reps like a bench press,

895
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 9: and anyone knows short arms help you with the bench press.

896
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 9: You can bench press more when you don't have to

897
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 9: do that, and that's what it looks like on tape,

898
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 9: like he is bench pressing guys the way he rushes

899
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 9: the passer, and so with how many answers he has,

900
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 9: are ready to deal with the fact they have short arms.

901
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 9: I think he's going to continue to be uber productive

902
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 9: at the NFL level.

903
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 2: You mentioned corner and it's now it's it's like what

904
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: we're all talking about. I think if if we did

905
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: this a month ago, we were all focusing on what

906
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: do he do on the edge? What they do at linebacker,

907
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: which in free agency was nothing. And now if you

908
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: look at the depth behind Hill and Turner and what

909
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 2: they may need in the slot and some long term

910
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 2: replacements for maybe Hill or I guess maybe Turner. I

911
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: think that's the position we've talked about the most. How

912
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 2: deep is the cornerback class this year.

913
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 9: It's a very deep class. Actually, just on pushing the pile,

914
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 9: our podcast ranked all the usitions from strongest the weakest.

915
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 9: It is the second strongest position in my eyes, because

916
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 9: it's got top end talent, It's got guys on Day two,

917
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 9: it has starters you know, pretty much anywhere you can

918
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 9: throw a dart at in the top hundred of this

919
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 9: draft class. So it is a very good corner of class,

920
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 9: especially if you want a nickel as well, there's a

921
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 9: lot of good nickels or slot guys in this class.

922
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

923
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: If Jeremiah Love is their atten, should the Bengals be tempted.

924
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 4: I'd be tempted.

925
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 9: Yes, I mean it's hard not to be when you

926
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 9: have a guy who's that young, that productive, that dynamic,

927
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 9: and pairing him with you know, just being able to

928
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 9: take hits off of Joe Burrow, take pressure off of

929
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 9: Joe Burrow given his injury history. Yeah, I would be intrigued,

930
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 9: but I'm not sure. I'm not sure he pushes you

931
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 9: over the top the way improvements to this defense, because

932
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 9: the offense, the offensive line, you know, the offense ate

933
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 9: the problem right now.

934
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 3: Uh, correct, linebacker is.

935
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 2: And it's mystifying to so many of us, By the

936
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 2: way Mike Rehners Sports Pushing the Pile podcast with us,

937
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 2: it's mystifying to so many of us that as bad

938
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 2: as they were at linebacker last season, with all of

939
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 2: the free agency options that were available, we're talking in

940
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 2: mid April about them adding nobody to this point.

941
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 3: So they need a linebacker.

942
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 2: Obviously, Sunny styles I everything I've read would suggest he's

943
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 2: not going to be there at ten.

944
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm wrong. Is this a d class at that position?

945
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think styles is there at ten. I

946
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 9: actually don't think here. My love is theory. That's why

947
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 9: those didn't even cross my mind. When I'm thinking of

948
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 9: dream Snares for the Bengals, They'll just be gone. Linebacker class,

949
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 9: I said, I.

950
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 3: Ranked all the positions. It was one.

951
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 9: This linebacker class is awesome. Last linebacker classes not. That's

952
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 9: what That's what floored me when they took two in

953
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 9: the top four rounds, was like, this was not the

954
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 9: year to be taking linebackers. This is the year though,

955
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 9: So if you if you are going to say, hey,

956
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 9: we screwed up last year, we know we need another one.

957
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 9: We at least need depth, even if it's not until

958
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 9: early day three, I think you can get a quality

959
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 9: guy early day three who in other years would be

960
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 9: going somewhere on day two, just because there's about a

961
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 9: dozen of them, and the NFL doesn't draft a dozen

962
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 9: linebackers top hunter. I think they draft like four or

963
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 9: five six historically top hunters just not a highly drafted position.

964
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 9: So it definitely is one that you don't need to

965
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 9: take it early and you can find a you know,

966
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 9: i'd say an upgrade from what they got last year.

967
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 4: Somewhere on Day two.

968
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: They've they've used two of the last three first round

969
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 2: picks on edge guys. They got an edge guy and

970
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 2: boy mafe in free agency this offseason, So maybe it's

971
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: it's not as pressing of a need as you might

972
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 2: normally think for a team that just lost Trey Hendrickson.

973
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 2: But I find it hard to believe they're not going

974
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 2: to add to their depth of edge. Is that group

975
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 2: deep in this class? See, I don't think it really is.

976
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 2: There's some intriguing Day two names.

977
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,959
Speaker 9: To me, but I don't see you know, I really

978
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 9: only see three guys as first rounders in this edge class,

979
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 9: which is really small number for historically for edge defenders.

980
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 9: And then after that there's you know, there's a reason

981
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 9: why guys are Day two edge defenders, and historically, if

982
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 9: you go look Day two edded defenders tend to be

983
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 9: fools goal. It's a position that the really good ones

984
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 9: they go in the first round. They're easy to identify

985
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 9: who's going to be really good. So that's why there

986
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 9: are intriguing names. There's some guys on Day two, but

987
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 9: I just don't think this is the draft class that

988
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 9: if you don't get one of the top three, who

989
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 9: are going to go probably somewhere in the top eight.

990
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 9: If you don't get one of those three, I'm not

991
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 9: sure you're looking back two years from now saying we

992
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 9: got to do it. It might just take these guys a

993
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 9: while to develop.

994
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 2: It's probably been a decade since we were approaching the

995
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 2: draft not talking about the Bengals offensive line being a

996
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: need one of their top needs. They're set there, at

997
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 2: least for the short term. Might be the best line

998
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 2: they've had in the Joe Burrow earrings. In fact, I

999
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: think it is. But they need depth, they need a

1000
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 2: swing tackle, and they probably need a long term solution

1001
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: for replacing Orlando Brown. Can they do that in this

1002
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 2: draft If they don't take a tackle Round one.

1003
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 9: I think there's some interesting developmental tackles. I'm not even

1004
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 9: sure I call them developmental tackles that I think I

1005
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 9: call them just like high, high floor, low ceiling type

1006
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 9: of tackles that'll go somewhere on Day two, early Day three.

1007
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 9: The two that come to mind for the Bengals specifically

1008
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 9: are Travis Burke from Memphis and then Markel Bell from Miami,

1009
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 9: and especially markl Bell. If you're the Cincinnati Bengals and

1010
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 9: given the sheer size of their offensive line, mark El Bell.

1011
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 4: Six eight three forty six.

1012
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 9: I mean, he's the guy that would fit in that

1013
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 9: room right where you're not changing what the offense looks

1014
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 9: like if one of those two guys go down. So

1015
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 9: that's that's the guy I would be intrigued by. If

1016
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 9: he's you know, probably in the fourth round is where

1017
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 9: i'd start for the Bengals just because other needs are

1018
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 9: more pressing. But he's a guy that he'll get to

1019
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 9: learn how to play offensive tackle behind two guys who

1020
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 9: are at similar size that know how to do.

1021
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: It between now and in two weeks from last night.

1022
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 3: How many mock drafts will you do?

1023
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 9: Too many? They got me grinding over here. I got

1024
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 9: a three round mock coming out.

1025
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 7: You know how many?

1026
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 9: You know how many Day two picks? I get right

1027
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 9: on a three round mack every year, like one two.

1028
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 5: Maybe.

1029
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's hard to do, but it's the grind that

1030
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,240
Speaker 9: I willingly accept.

1031
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 2: I know you get pulled in a thousand different directions

1032
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 2: this time of year. So I can't thank you enough.

1033
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 2: Love having you all man, Thanks so much.

1034
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 9: Of course, I'm always happy to do it. Take it easy,

1035
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 9: that's our guy.

1036
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 2: Mike Renner listened to his podcast Pushing the Pile from

1037
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 2: a CBS Sports also read his work at cbssports dot com.

1038
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. Okay, it's it's quarter after four.

1039
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 2: This is ESPN fifteen thirty. If you've been with us

1040
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,240
Speaker 2: for the last hour, let's just let's let's cast aside

1041
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: the first like ten minutes of this show, which was

1042
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 2: just me over the last hour. That does a pretty

1043
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 2: damn good hour of sports talk radio between Heidi Watney

1044
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 2: and Callum Williams and Mike Renner. And you know what,

1045
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 2: the great thing about that was all of it free.

1046
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: You don't have to pay a dime for it, all free,

1047
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 2: and we record it and we'll put it all on

1048
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. I don't know about you, but I

1049
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: think that was right then and there. That's that's why,

1050
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 2: that's why this is, that's why this is one of

1051
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 2: Cincinnati's best three or four sports talk radio shows. That's

1052
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 2: a good hour and I had almost nothing to do

1053
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 2: with it. It's a quarter aph for four. We're guests

1054
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,919
Speaker 2: free for a while. My name is Melweger. Five one, three, seven,

1055
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 2: four nine, fifteen thirty is our number. Eight six six

1056
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 2: seven zero two three seven seven six works as well.

1057
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 2: We've got Reds and Angels coming up, and Uh, there's

1058
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 2: we I think we brought this up on Wednesday. Corner

1059
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 2: is interesting for the Bengals because they've got to you

1060
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 2: could use more. You could say this about a lot

1061
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: of different positions, but it really is a position where

1062
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: you can't use you can't have too many. What they

1063
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 2: do at ten could involve a corner. Monsieur Delaine is

1064
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 2: a name that has been brought up. You just heard

1065
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 2: Jamal McCoy Tennessee, who didn't play at all last year,

1066
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 2: had an ACL injury fifteen months ago. It will be

1067
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: fascinating to see if they take a corner with the

1068
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 2: first overall pick, what that does for the conversation about

1069
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 2: what they do long term with DJ Turner and or

1070
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 2: Dax Hill, and in all likelihood the emphasis maybe should

1071
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 2: be on Dax Hill.

1072
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 3: More on that coming up, Uh in just a bit.

1073
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 2: I've been asked if we're going to talk about the

1074
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 2: Save Ohio Sports.

1075
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 3: Act, and I don't know.

1076
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 2: We'll see Brendaman and Jones on Baseball's coming up this

1077
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 2: hour as well. We're here till six. This is ESPN

Speaker 2: very welcome.

1100
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 7: I enjoyed that interview with the broadcaster on tonight's game.

1101
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 7: That was really good.

1102
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 2: Heighty Watney. She's excellent. Always joins our show when she

1103
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 2: has a Reds game.

1104
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 7: Boy, she knows her stuff. Brother, she tell you that.

1105
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, I'm kind of embarrassed living in LA

1106
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 7: and she knows more about the Angels than I do. Well,

1107
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 7: long shot?

1108
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 3: Does anybody in LA care about the Angels?

1109
00:53:59,080 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1110
00:53:59,280 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 7: In Orangehown?

1111
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know county?

1112
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 3: Did you?

1113
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 7: But you know that's an hour twenty minute drive for

1114
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 7: an hour and a half drive from Dodger Stadium. You

1115
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 7: know that's Lake County and this is Orange County? But uh,

1116
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 7: where's are?

1117
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 5: Well?

1118
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,280
Speaker 7: You didn't have him, did you, Ludwig Olbert?

1119
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, lud Ludwig Oberg.

1120
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: No, I did not.

1121
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 7: He did not. Is there any way you can I

1122
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 7: don't have that. I'm not being able to get internet

1123
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,720
Speaker 7: right now. Can you tell me if he's doing anything?

1124
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 7: If you don't find if you got a second.

1125
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 2: He is currently tied for twenty seconds. Uh, he is

1126
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 2: in the clubhouse for the day. He shot a two under.

1127
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 2: He is even for the tournament, but he is currently

1128
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 2: five strokes off the pace. I'm sorry, seven strokes off

1129
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 2: the pace.

1130
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's pretty poor. Thank you, Mom, appreciate that.

1131
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 3: Although he's tied with Scottie Shuffler. So do what you

1132
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 3: want with that.

1133
00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's hard. That sounds almost hilarious. She's just saying.

1134
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 7: Even saying that, So what do you what do you think?

1135
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 7: I know everybody's talking about the Reds. Sometimes I just

1136
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 7: like to change it up a little bit because I

1137
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 7: always am interested in your opinions on the NBA. So

1138
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 7: do you give Detroit a shot to to to overtake

1139
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 7: Boston to uh to get into the final?

1140
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1141
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, okay, they had the best they have

1142
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: and have had the best record in the East all season.

1143
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 2: My my pick is my guess is Boston's going to

1144
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 2: win the East. Although I love what Josh Hart did

1145
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 2: to him last night at Madison Square Garden.

1146
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would.

1147
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 2: I would absolutely give give Detroit more than a puncher's chance. Yeah,

1148
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 2: Kate is back and I watched a segment this morning

1149
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 2: on ESPN and Brian Windhorst was making the case that

1150
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 2: Kate Kate Cunningham's injury may have made Detroit a little

1151
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 2: bit less reliant on him and that can prove to

1152
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 2: be good for them in the long term. So they

1153
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 2: get him back he's healthy, which was at least a

1154
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 2: little bit of a question mark three weeks ago. But

1155
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 2: it's it's not like their team totally cratered without them.

1156
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 2: So my guess is Boston would beat them. But I yeah,

1157
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 2: I would give Detroit. I would give Detroit a chance

1158
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 2: against the Celtics.

1159
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 7: How many times have we seen this over the years, mal,

1160
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 7: when a star player goes down, a backup player gets

1161
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 7: more pt and it ends up helping the team. I've

1162
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 7: seen it a lot.

1163
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 3: Happens, happens quite often. Yeah, it happens quite often.

1164
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 2: But I think with somebody like that, who carries so

1165
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 2: much of the scoring load for a team like that,

1166
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 2: it's it's often beneficial to give I mean, I think

1167
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 2: you've seen that with the Boston Celtics this year where

1168
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 2: they have to play, you know, two thirds of the

1169
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 2: season without Jason Tatum, and not that Jalen Brown hasn't

1170
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 2: been a very good player this year for a while,

1171
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 2: but but he takes on more of a of an

1172
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 2: offensive load, and Derek White, who's having career year, does

1173
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 2: as well.

1174
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 3: And I think long term that's beneficial.

1175
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 2: You don't want to play, you know, most of your

1176
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 2: season without your best player, but it it it forces

1177
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 2: other players to take on larger roles, and then when

1178
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 2: the star comes back. I think there's usually some overall

1179
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 2: team benefit to the rest of the team playing without him,

1180
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 2: and I think that may be the case with the

1181
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 2: Detroit Pistons.

1182
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 7: So I think it's going to be fun because I

1183
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 7: think the East is going to be a little more

1184
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 7: interesting in the playoffs than it has been, and the

1185
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 7: West is always interesting.

1186
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 3: So we'll see what well I think what's I think?

1187
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 2: What's I think what's interesting about the East is, you know,

1188
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: the playoffs are such a battle of attrition, but everybody's healthy.

1189
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 2: You know, Philly's got to make the postseason and NBAT

1190
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 2: has to come off the surgeon's table, and I don't

1191
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 2: know if that's going to happen in time for the

1192
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 2: play in tournament. But like, even even Phillies as somewhat

1193
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 2: full strength, Toronto is Cleveland.

1194
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 3: I mean, like, what's fun about it to me is

1195
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 3: I think at the top of the East.

1196
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 2: You have four teams that offensively can be absolutely as

1197
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 2: dynamic as anybody in the sport, and they've got all

1198
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 2: their guys now. That will change as the playoffs unfold.

1199
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,959
Speaker 2: But I've seen people describe the East as being down,

1200
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 2: and I view it differently. I think it's a little

1201
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 2: bit more wide open.

1202
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 3: Again.

1203
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: I think Boston's going to win. I think New York

1204
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 2: has tried. They're still trying to figure out too many

1205
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 2: things on the fly here late in the season. Although

1206
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 2: I do love how they've played over the last couple

1207
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 2: of weeks. I have a hard time believing anybody's going

1208
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 2: to be either OKC or San Antonio. And I'm like you, Mike,

1209
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 2: I think san Antonio is going to come out of

1210
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 2: the West. But I think the top of the East

1211
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 2: is interesting. And by the way, you would give Orlando

1212
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 2: a puncher's chance. You would give Philly, a healthy Philly team,

1213
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 2: a puncher's chance. You would give the Hawks the way

1214
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 2: they've played over the last month, you would give them

1215
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 2: a puncher's chance in a seven game series against a

1216
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 2: lot of those quote top four teams in the East.

1217
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 7: Last question regarding the Reds and running and stealing bases.

1218
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 7: Are we anywhere near where we were a couple of

1219
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 7: years ago when the guys were all brand new and

1220
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 7: we were stealing bases right and left.

1221
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: No, But I think that was kind of to be expected.

1222
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 2: I think in twenty twenty three to a degree, remember

1223
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 2: that was the first year with the limitation on pickoff

1224
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 2: throws and the bigger bases, and I think the way

1225
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 2: the Reds were built and the way the Reds played

1226
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 2: exploited a lot of those things. I think last year

1227
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 2: they took things to a degree that was a little

1228
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 2: bit extreme. In terms of not running I don't have

1229
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 2: and it's not like I don't have a computer in

1230
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 2: front of me. I don't know where they are in

1231
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 2: terms of stolen bases relative to the rest of the league.

1232
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 3: But to me, I'm more looking for moments where you

1233
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 3: can steal.

1234
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 2: You can steal a run or two with the running

1235
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 2: game and the the game the other night in Miami,

1236
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 2: to me, was a prime example where there's a double

1237
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 2: steal in the ninth inning on a night where they've

1238
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 2: been held in check for eight innings, they're not really

1239
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 2: hitting at all, and Tito says, I got Ellie on

1240
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 2: first base, there's a lead run in front of them,

1241
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 2: We're gonna be aggressive here and do a double steal,

1242
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 2: which eventually leads to Ellie getting the third, and then

1243
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 2: he scores the tying run on a ball that bounces

1244
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 2: away from the catcher. I'm looking for more situations like that.

1245
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 2: I love to see them run more, and having a

1246
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 2: healthier Ellie Della Cruise than last year is certainly gonna

1247
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 2: help with that. The other thing is, too, Mike, They're

1248
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 2: not really good at getting guys on base at the

1249
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 2: top of the order, and really not good at getting

1250
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 2: guys on base top to bottom at all. And so

1251
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 2: what I would love to see, and I think what

1252
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 2: we would all love to see, is just a team

1253
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 2: that's better at getting on base. And if that's the case,

1254
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 2: then you steal more bases. It's pretty obvious. Hopefully that happens.

1255
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 2: But they're not going to run the way they did

1256
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, and that's okay, But you do

1257
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 2: want the running game to be a part of their

1258
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 2: overall offensive profile.

1259
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 7: I would hope so, because there is some speed on

1260
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 7: that team, no question, and I hate to bring it

1261
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 7: up because people get pissed, but the Dodgers are hitting

1262
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 7: two ninety at the game.

1263
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 3: So happy, that's great.

1264
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 7: Oh no, yes, okay, so good week.

1265
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 2: So I'm so happy for the anti Pagus is hitting

1266
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 2: like four to ninety. I'm like, thanks, thanks for reminding

1267
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 2: me of how good the Dodgers are. Although they did

1268
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 2: not sweep. The Blue Jays lost that last game to Toronto,

1269
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 2: which I don't I don't hate the Dodgers, but yeah,

Speaker 2: Chase Burns, who has been awesome so far this season,

Speaker 2: Here?

1295
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 5: It is?

1296
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 2: Friedel is in center field. He's got to be better,

1297
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 2: Like like TJ Friedel. TJ Friedel is not getting on bass,

1298
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 2: not really doing much of anything, and completely reasonable at

1299
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 2: this point to wonder who else can bat lead off?

1300
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 2: Maybe it's not Matt McClain, you know, I don't know,

1301
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 2: Will Benson, no, Ellie Dela Cruz. I think would be

1302
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 2: fun to watch bat leadoff, but they're just not gonna

1303
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 2: do it. It's basically TJ. Friedel by default gotta be better.

1304
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 2: Freedl's in center, McLain is playing second, Ellie's at short,

1305
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Red Hot Sal Stewart's at first base. How johaneos Warez

1306
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 2: dhing Spencer steers in left field, Will Benson and right

1307
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 2: Stevenson catches key, Brian Hayes plays third base, and Bat's ninth.

1308
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 2: Red's did make a roster move today. Jose Franco has

1309
01:03:56,520 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 2: been sent back to Louisville. Righty Kyle Nicholas up from Louisville.

1310
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 2: Congratulations to him. Ruben Bain has reportedly visited Cincinnati, or

1311
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 2: maybe visiting Cincinnati right now, regardless that is being reported

1312
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 2: by a number of media outlets that he is set

1313
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 2: to visit. The Bengals obviously very much in play as

1314
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:26,479
Speaker 2: we talk about possibility for possibilities for the tenth overall pick,

1315
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 2: what else do we have?

1316
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 4: Oh?

1317
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 2: On top of that, Jacob Rodriguez, who I think I

1318
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 2: may have called Jordan Rodriguez last hour. Jacob Rodriguez from

1319
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 2: Texas Tech also reportedly in for a visit today. The

1320
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 2: Masters Round two happening right now at Augusta, a tradition

1321
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 2: unlike any other. Roy McElroy is in the clubhouse holding

1322
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 2: a one shot lead over Patrick Reid. He actually Roy's

1323
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 2: not in the clubhouse. I lied, I misled you. He's

1324
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 2: making the turn. He's played nine holes, two under for

1325
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 2: the day, seven under for the event, one shot lead

1326
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 2: over Patrick red, two shots.

1327
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 3: Ahead of Justin Rose.

1328
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 2: A WNBA note Kelsey Mitchell from Princeton High School set

1329
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 2: to sign a supermax deal with the Indiana Fever. Cincinnati

1330
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,439
Speaker 2: Cyclone skate tonight against Toledo. That is a road game.

1331
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 2: How about this schedule for the weekend for the Clones.

1332
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 2: The second to last weekend of the regular season for Cincinnati.

1333
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 2: The Clones play a road game tonight. I know they're

1334
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 2: professional athletes, so nobody feels bad for him, but they

1335
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 2: play at Toledo tonight. They come back and play Toledo

1336
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 2: tomorrow at four o'clock. Then they got to go to Kalamazoo,

1337
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 2: a very underrated drinking city by the way. Then they

1338
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 2: got to go to Kalamazoo for a Sunday afternoon game.

1339
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 2: If you haven't been to Kalamazoo, go to Kalamazoo. Go

1340
01:05:54,640 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 2: see a Western Michigan game. There, you go for local sportsline.

1341
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 2: I have not yet come up with a poll question

1342
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 2: because I am absent in my absence of a lot

1343
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 2: of things, but negligent of my creative duty. Today when

1344
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 2: we posted, it'll be there on Twitter. Huh, it'll be

1345
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 2: there on Twitter thanks to United Heartland Insurance. You know,

1346
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 2: whatever you're paying for insurance, why not see if you

1347
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 2: can pay less with a great company. That very good

1348
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 2: chance they help you pay less. United Heartland Insurance Home life, boat, auto, motorcycle.

1349
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 2: I don't know why I said boat before auto, because

1350
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 2: more people have cars than boats. But you got to

1351
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 2: insure boat and ensure a lot of things that United

1352
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 2: Heartland Insurance go to uh I NS dot com has

1353
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 2: really good stuff with Mike Renner and the earlier in

1354
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 2: the earlier in the show.

1355
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 3: It is April tenth.

1356
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 2: It is astounding, astounding, and how this plays out is

1357
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 2: going to be fascinating.

1358
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 3: That the draft is thirteen days away.

1359
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 2: Free agency is not necessarily over, but the bulk of

1360
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 2: free agency has happened. If I would have said to

1361
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 2: you on the day the new league year started that

1362
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 2: we'll get to April the tenth and the Bengals will

1363
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 2: not have acquired a linebacker to go along with Barrett

1364
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 2: Carter and Demetrius Knight. You would have said you are

1365
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 2: out of your mind, Mo, which is frankly true, but

1366
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 2: you would have said that that take is insane.

1367
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 3: There's no way, and yet here we are.

1368
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 2: This is either going to turn out to be something

1369
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 2: that gives Duke Tobin a chance to beat his chest

1370
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 2: because Carter and Knight are better than they were last

1371
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 2: year and what they do in the draft pays immediate dividends,

1372
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 2: or he's going to look more foolish than he's ever

1373
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 2: looked at any point during his time as the Bengals

1374
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 2: director of player personnel. This is either going to have

1375
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 2: just dire consequences for this defense, where we spend the

1376
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,719
Speaker 2: season laughing at them and getting angry about the fact

1377
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 2: that they ignored the obvious. Or if you thought Duke

1378
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 2: Tobin stuck out his chest because he's the guy who

1379
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 2: traded Joe Flacco before, can you even imagine how obnoxious

1380
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 2: he'll be if he does another one of those Megapress

1381
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 2: conferences when he says, like, hey man, everybody told me

1382
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 2: I needed to go get a linebacker, made fun of

1383
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 2: me for not getting a linebacker, and free agency, and

1384
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 2: then hey, look what we did. We leaned into the

1385
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 2: two guys we had, we drafted somebody, we added to

1386
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:52,879
Speaker 2: the mix, and look how good we were at linebacker

1387
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 2: last year. Not that they've got to be great at

1388
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 2: the position, they just simply cannot be as awful as

1389
01:08:57,920 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 2: they were last year.

1390
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 3: Cannot be.

1391
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 2: And so what happens at that position? I agree with

1392
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 2: Mike Renner. I've not really the people whose opinions and

1393
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 2: mock drafts that I think are worth believing or worth trusting.

1394
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 2: None of them have sunny styles there at number ten,

1395
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 2: although that would be fascinating if he was. So what

1396
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 2: they do and where they go at that position in

1397
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 2: the draft, how much they fortify it if they take one,

1398
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 2: if they take two, and the specific role that the

1399
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 2: one linebacker they take or the two linebackers they take

1400
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 2: play in this defense is going to be fascinating.

1401
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 3: I can be dead wrong about this. I don't believe

1402
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 3: that I am.

1403
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 2: I think when Al Golden said what he said about

1404
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 2: needing a veteran linebacker at the combine, that felt like

1405
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:54,640
Speaker 2: it tipped a lot of us off to what they

1406
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 2: were going to do. They didn't do it, and I'm

1407
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 2: sorry when a coach comes out and says, here's what

1408
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 2: we need and they don't get it.

1409
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:09,560
Speaker 3: That's a disconnect, just frankly, no other way to put it.

1410
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 3: That is the epitome of disconnect. So we'll see how

1411
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 3: it works. But that's we've on this show and on

1412
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 3: many others.

1413
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 2: We've talked about Caleb Downs and if I had my way,

1414
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 2: which I wish I did with everything, if I had

1415
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 2: my way, Caleb Downs would not only be there, but

1416
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 2: they would take them. But I sort of feel like

1417
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 2: the storyline of the draft, although you could talk about

1418
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 2: them taking a corner early and they've got to get

1419
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 2: a swing tackle and third wide receivers probably in play

1420
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:41,640
Speaker 2: on Saturday, and lots of different options, what happens at

1421
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:45,680
Speaker 2: linebacker is the storyline of the draft, and the storyline

1422
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 2: of the rest of the offseason is when they get

1423
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 2: to training camp. How much better are the two guys

1424
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 2: that floundered so badly as rookies last season.

1425
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 3: What happens at that position.

1426
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 2: They don't need all pro caliber players, They've got to

1427
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 2: get something than we saw last year. Does the draft

1428
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 2: help them get that? That's to me, at least, and

1429
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 2: I'm just one person obviously that's the storyline of the

1430
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 2: three days in Pittsburgh in two weeks quarter to five

1431
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 2: on ESPN fifteen thirty. So the Reds have a good

1432
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 2: record and a pretty good team, and they've got good

1433
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 2: pitching and pretty good defense and good bullpen work.

1434
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 3: They need more offense. Are they going to get it?

1435
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:30,560
Speaker 2: And if the answer is instantly yes, then why that

1436

1582
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 2: Sunday and now there's like there's Some Chase burns hype

1583
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 2: building and it's extraordinarily early in the. Season it's only two,

1584
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 2: starts But Jeff passing THE espn mentioned him as a

1585
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 2: cy young, candidate and So i'm excited to Watch Chase

1586
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 2: burns this. Evening The reds are eight and. Five they're

1587
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 2: off to a good. Start this is it feels like

1588
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 2: a team that is better in many areas than last.

1589
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:17,680
Speaker 2: Season they're better, defensively, now maybe yesterday would not be

1590
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 2: a portrait of how much better they are, Defensively but

1591
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 2: this team through thirteen games has done pretty good job

1592
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 2: of not giving up extra, outs not giving up extra,

1593
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,560
Speaker 2: bases making the plays in the field they, should and

1594
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:34,760
Speaker 2: there's an insane amount of value in, that especially at third.

1595
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:38,680
Speaker 2: Base of, course now they've been they've been better, defensively

1596
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 2: AND i THINK i think it's gonna be interesting to

1597
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 2: see how the season unfolds and who emerges as more

1598
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 2: reliable than others in the. Bullpen BUT i feel Like

1599
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 2: tito in the back end of games has some pretty

1600
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 2: good options and they can win with the home run.

1601
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 2: BALL a week ago, today they won a game In,

1602
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 2: texas the first road game of the season For, cincinnati

1603
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 2: where they hit three home.

1604
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 3: Runs and that's.

1605
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 2: Great home runs are, Good but this team top to,

1606
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 2: bottom needs more. Offense and as we often say on this,

1607
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 2: show multiple things can be true at the same. Time

1608
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 2: The reds are off to a good, start but they're

1609
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 2: going to have to find ways to generate more. Offense

1610
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 2: they have thirty nine. Runs they're averaging three runs a,

1611
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 2: game thirty nine runs in thirteen. Games for comparison's, sake

1612
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 2: everybody else in The National League central has scored at

1613
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 2: least fifty Six The brewers have scored seventy runs and

1614
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 2: they've played one fewer. Game this team has to figure

1615
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 2: out ways to, score and it is it's reasonable to be,

1616
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 2: concerned or at least be suspicious of the suggestion, that don't,

1617
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 2: worry this team is going to be fine. Offensively they

1618
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 2: will average more than three runs per. GAME i feel

1619
01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 2: pretty comfortable saying, that BUT I i kind of roll

1620
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 2: my eyes when you're patted on the head and told,

1621
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 2: like don't, worry it's early they're going to, hit because

1622
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 2: that assurance is based on a track, record and there

1623
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 2: are some guys on this team who are offensively off

1624
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:20,640
Speaker 2: to a pretty good. Start Sal stewart is one of

1625
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 2: the best stories in baseball right, now And i'll talk

1626
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 2: about him from a second for a. Second from this,

1627
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:31,960
Speaker 2: perspective you cannot help but wonder how last season would

1628
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 2: have unfolded had they called him up earlier than they,

1629
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 2: did because this dude has done nothing but, hit and, yeah,

1630
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 2: man the league is going to catch up to him

1631
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 2: and then he's going to have to adjust and there

1632
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 2: are some growing, pains.

1633
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 3: But this dude has done nothing but. Hit he did it.

1634
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 2: Late last, season five homers in a, month he did

1635
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 2: it during spring. Training for what that's, Worth he's done

1636
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,679
Speaker 2: it this. Year what does the offense last season look?

1637
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 2: Like what does the season? Itself? Love had Sal stewart

1638
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 2: been brought up in Early august instead of Early. September

1639
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:07,799
Speaker 2: you can't go back in, time but you can project.

1640
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 2: Ahead Sal stewart's having an excellent. SEASON i Think Elie

1641
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,679
Speaker 2: Tayler cruz has had a very productive first two. Weeks

1642
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 2: it's been good at the, plate it's been good on the,

1643
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 2: basis it's been good in the, field and that should

1644
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:23,800
Speaker 2: not be. OVERLOOKED i think you have to look Beyond

1645
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 2: matt McClain's numbers to kind of appreciate what he's done

1646
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 2: so far this. Year, now the numbers don't. Lie where

1647
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 2: the numbers do tell a, STORY i should, say BUT

1648
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 2: i like How matt McLain has looked at the plate

1649
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:36,720
Speaker 2: for much of the. Season but the production has to

1650
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 2: be better in the two. Hole outside of, that they

1651
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 2: got a lot of guys who so far aren't having great.

1652
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 2: Years now you can attribute, hey slow, starts, right what

1653
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 2: they're doing is nothing more than just a rough couple of.

1654
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 2: Weeks if you have a rough couple of weeks In

1655
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 2: june doesn't impact your numbers all that. Much but when

1656
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 2: you have a rough couple of weeks to start the,

1657
01:22:55,840 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 2: season the numbers are. Ghastly and hopefully that. Happens they

1658
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 2: need more production FROM.

1659
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 3: Tj.

1660
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 2: Friedel he is the de facto leadoff, hitter like he

1661
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 2: can talk about, it how it should be somebody. Else

1662
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 2: probably ain't gonna be anybody. Else it's gonna BE. Tj

1663
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 2: friedl for the short. Term they need more from. Him

1664
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,679
Speaker 2: they need more from. Mcclaim they need more From Tyler.

1665
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:19,599
Speaker 2: Stevenson they need more from whoever plays right. Field maybe

1666
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 2: sometime soon that's gonna Be Rees. Signs if there is

1667
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 2: a place on the team where what they are doing

1668
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 2: is kind of, mystifying its right, field BECAUSE i don't

1669
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 2: Understand noel Ve marte is gonna play. Occasionally he's twenty

1670
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 2: four years. Old he could use some. Reps he can

1671
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 2: use some innings in right. Field he could use them at.

1672
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 2: Bats Rees signs got sent To louisville because he needed at.

1673
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 2: Bats all he's done in those at bats is. Hit

1674
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:48,559
Speaker 2: Tyler stevenson's not having a great, year and so you could, say, well, hey,

1675
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 2: look some of these guys are going to, hit And

1676
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 2: i'll kind of believe, you BUT i will mention this number,

1677
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:59,520
Speaker 2: one we're talking about players who have collectively and individually

1678
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 2: relatively low offensive. Ceilings we're not really discussing all star caliber.

1679
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 2: Players i'll Fold Spencer steer into the discussion as. Well

1680
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 2: we're not really talking about all star caliber guys at his.

1681
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 3: Best Spencer steers league average at his. BEST.

1682
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 2: Tj friedel is a good eleadoff, guy not a great

1683
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 2: one at his. Best Tyler stevenson's offensive numbers are not,

1684
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 2: memorable not entirely. Forgettable they're just they're they're, okay and

1685
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 2: so low ceiling players often tend to have low. Floors

1686
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 2: BUT i do think it's fair to wonder with some

1687
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 2: of these, guys, like let's make it ABOUT Tj. FRIEDEL

1688
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 2: Tj friedel in the first half of last season was really,

1689
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 2: good and, unfortunately the impact of him being really good

1690
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 2: in the leadoff spot was kind of mitigated by the

1691
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:51,640
Speaker 2: fact that The reds had terrible production from the two.

1692
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 2: Hole but in the last ninety to one hundred games

1693
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 2: of the season last, YEAR Tj friedel was not very

1694
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 2: good and oh you cannot, help but ask is the

1695
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 2: first two weeks and the lack of production from him

1696
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 2: a continuation of that long stretch last year which wasn't very.

1697
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 2: Good and at some, point a long stretch becomes who you.

1698
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 2: Are why AM i to assume THAT. Tj friedel is

1699
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 2: going to figure it? Out why AM i to assume

1700
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:22,640
Speaker 2: after a season last year where the numbers were not,

1701
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 2: overwhelming That Tyler stevenson is going to turn into the

1702
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 2: kind of hitter that he hasn't been.

1703
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:28,960
Speaker 3: In a long long.

1704
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:33,600
Speaker 2: Time why SHOULD i Give matt McClain the benefit of the?

1705
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 2: Doubt what his last good season was three years ago

1706
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 2: and statistically his numbers this year aren't. Great why AM

1707
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 2: i to assume That Spencer steer is going to achieve

1708
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 2: a level of proficiency better than anything we've seen so? Far,

1709
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:51,600
Speaker 2: now maybe one or two of those guys due this

1710
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 2: team needs. MORE i didn't even Mention Key Brian, hayes

1711
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 2: and like it has sounded like we pick On Key Brian.

1712
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 2: Hayes and that's not the point. Here you're looking for

1713
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 2: placers where the team could be and should be. Better

1714
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 2: some of these guys you could argue they will be.

1715
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:09,080
Speaker 2: BETTER i don't know how you make that argument About

1716
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 2: Key Brian, hayes and the numbers will not look as

1717
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 2: wretched as they do right now by the time we

1718
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 2: get to like Mid. May but, still when you have

1719
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:23,800
Speaker 2: a guy who is batting, ninth who is largely an

1720
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,680
Speaker 2: inept offensive, player then the other dudes have to pick

1721
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 2: up the. Slack but you're asking the other guys to

1722
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 2: pick up the slack when they don't have very long track.

1723
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 2: Records AND i brought this up in the first hour

1724
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 2: of the. SHOW i Watched Joey vado get off to

1725
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 2: a start in twenty sixteen WHERE i think On Memorial

1726
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 2: day he was batting like two to oh, eight and

1727
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 2: there was the requisite grumbling About Joey vado and his

1728
01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 2: salary and he's overpaid and he's the reason why this team.

1729
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 2: Stand the twenty Sixteen reds team was, awful BUT i

1730
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 2: remember going like, that dude's got a track. RECORD i

1731
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 2: will lean into the track. RECORD i am not worried

1732
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 2: about joeyva putting up good numbers by the end of the. Season,

1733
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 2: unfortunately if he, does it's going to be for a

1734
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,799
Speaker 2: team that loses more than ninety. Games in the twenty

1735
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 2: Sixteen reds lost ninety four, games but he deserved the

1736
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt because of the track, record and

1737
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:18,640
Speaker 2: as it turned out that, Season Joey vado ended up

1738
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 2: finishing seventh in THE mvp. Voting his numbers by the

1739
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 2: end of the season were that, good and you knew

1740
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:30,680
Speaker 2: they would be because of his track. Record who on

1741
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:32,560
Speaker 2: this team is a track? Record i'm not asking For

1742
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 2: Joey vado's track, Record he's going To. Cooperstown but who

1743
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 2: on this team SHOULD i, believe should we believe is

1744
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 2: going to be dramatically better than they have been because

1745
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 2: of what they've done so, far the track records are

1746
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 2: limited for a lot of these guys at.

1747
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,759
Speaker 3: Best i'm not doing this to be critical or. Negative

1748
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 3: i'm doing it to bring up what is a? Topic

1749
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 3: what is an? Issue this team must score more than they.

1750
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 3: Do this team must get more.

1751
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 2: Runs this, team you must get some guys who hit,

1752
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 2: better whether they are the guys who are on the

1753
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,960

Speaker 2: we do or what you are discussing is unfolding in real.

1809
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:07,679
Speaker 2: Time you are reacting to something as it's, happening which,

1810
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 2: is you, know the nature of what we do that

1811
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:13,559
Speaker 2: doesn't lend itself to. That we talk about last Night's

1812
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 2: red's game or Tonight's reds, game or something that just

1813
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 2: happened or something that will, Happen and with, exceptions there

1814
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:23,280
Speaker 2: aren't many instances where you get a chance to talk

1815
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:27,040
Speaker 2: about something as it's, unfolding and it's an incredible amount

1816
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 2: of fun to.

1817
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:30,600

1820
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:39,760
Speaker 2: got this down by, now where the two hours leading

1821
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:41,840
Speaker 2: up to the, draft six to eight you Got, lance

1822
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:44,400

1823
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 2: have me And tony and that's always. Fun we think

1824
01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 2: we will be on the air when The bengals go

1825
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,839
Speaker 2: on the clock and then from ten to Midnight austin

1826
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 2: And Chick. Ludwig so it's that's gonna be a. Blast

1827
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,400
Speaker 2: so put that as you're thinking ahead to the, draft

1828
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:02,479
Speaker 2: join us that. Night it's going to be it's gonna

1829
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,679
Speaker 2: be a lot of fun looking forward, to looking forward

1830
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:09,000
Speaker 2: to draft, night looking forward to draft, night BECAUSE i

1831
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:12,200
Speaker 2: think regardless of which position or which player you, Prefer

1832
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 2: bengals are going to hopefully at least add a player

1833
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:19,600
Speaker 2: in round. One AND i think they can add a

1834
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:23,679
Speaker 2: player in round one who can make an immediate. Impact

1835
01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:27,720
Speaker 2: AND i guess that changes if they were to take a,

1836
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:33,880
Speaker 2: tackle which doesn't feel like the most likely. Scenario i'll say,

1837
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:41,280
Speaker 2: this it's taken some getting used to talking about the,

1838
01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 2: draft approaching the, draft thinking about the, draft preparing for

1839
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:51,760
Speaker 2: a draft show without offensive line being one of the

1840
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 2: top of line team. Needs NOW i think all of

1841
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:58,439
Speaker 2: us would agree that it would be foolish to ignore

1842
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:02,680
Speaker 2: offensive line in this. Draft Offensive line depth for this

1843
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:07,120
Speaker 2: team is an issue the starting. FIVE i think everybody's

1844
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 2: on board with offensive line depth could be a, problem

1845
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 2: and they made it more of a problem by Cutting

1846
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:13,760
Speaker 2: Matt lead this.

1847
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:15,720
Speaker 4: Week so.

1848
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 2: It's hard to imagine that if they don't take an

1849
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:21,720
Speaker 2: offensive line and we're going to be okay with that

1850
01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:25,720
Speaker 2: because of the need for a swing, tackle the need

1851
01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:28,639
Speaker 2: to find somebody who could play both left and right

1852
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:32,880
Speaker 2: tackle and play at a decent level pretty soon and

1853
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 2: then be a long term solution either at left or

1854
01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:39,759
Speaker 2: at right once once they move on From Orlando.

1855
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:42,200
Speaker 3: Brown whatever that, is but it.

1856
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:46,840
Speaker 2: IS i, mean it's been a decade since going into a,

1857
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:51,680
Speaker 2: draft it wasn't one of their most pressing, needs and you,

1858
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 2: KNOW i think so much so that we've maybe slightly

1859
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:56,880
Speaker 2: overrated their offensive, Line but that is a unit that

1860
01:33:56,920 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 2: played very well toward the end of the season last.

1861
01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 2: Year bringing Back Dalton reisner was the right thing to.

1862
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 2: Do you, know how much you want to Give Duke

1863
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 2: tobin credit for, THAT i guess.

1864
01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 3: Depends but.

1865
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 2: For the first time in quite a, WHILE i think

1866
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 2: there's a pretty good feeling about the five starting offensive. Lineman,

1867
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 2: now how and when that depth gets, tested and do

1868
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:20,040
Speaker 2: they rise to the challenge of their depth getting?

1869
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:21,639
Speaker 3: Tested all very fair.

1870
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 2: QUESTIONS i think one of the frustrating things about last season,

1871
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 2: was among many they had a pretty good offensive line

1872
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:31,400
Speaker 2: toward the second half of the, season in a large

1873
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 2: part because of health and some. Continuity and you wonder

1874
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:38,160
Speaker 2: how much they wasted that because from year to year

1875
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:41,080
Speaker 2: that tends to not repeat. Itself but for the first

1876
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,240
Speaker 2: time in a, while we're talking about the draft without

1877
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:46,960
Speaker 2: spending a ton of time on the offensive, line though

1878
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 2: they do need to address THE o line's. Depth we'll

Speaker 2: Exactly you got to talk about this on the, broadcast

1950
01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:43,920
Speaker 2: And i'd Say Yonder, Alonzo Yonder alonzo was A red

1951
01:38:44,080 --> 01:38:46,920
Speaker 2: and they traded him to The padres and maybe this

1952
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:49,839

1953
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:52,960

1954
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:55,800

1955
01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:58,680
Speaker 2: were actually folks And i'm not going to admit to

1956
01:38:58,720 --> 01:39:00,559
Speaker 2: being one of, them but there were actually folks who

1957
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 2: believed that The red should Move Joey vadder to left

1958
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:04,880
Speaker 2: field to make room For Yonder alonzo at first.

1959
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:07,360
Speaker 3: Base in an alternate. UNIVERSE i still want to know

1960
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 3: what that would have looked.

1961
01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:12,000
Speaker 5: Like that. IS i have to ask him about, that

1962
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:14,920
Speaker 5: because that's. Amazing, YEAH i, MEAN i Think Jolly vodo

1963
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:16,880
Speaker 5: turned out to be pretty good for The, reds, right you,

1964
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:18,880
Speaker 5: know only one of their greatest players of all the,

1965
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:22,599
Speaker 5: time and such a fun personality. Too but But Yonder's

1966
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:25,960
Speaker 5: yonder's amazing as. Well and he's one of those, guys you,

1967
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 5: know like six degrees of. Separation he knows everybody he's

1968
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:32,280
Speaker 5: either related, to or knows or is a cousin, of

1969
01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:35,639
Speaker 5: or somehow he has got his finger on the pulse

1970
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:38,400
Speaker 5: of like everyone In Major League. Baseball he's such a fascinating,

1971
01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:42,200
Speaker 5: guy and and he has so many different, experiences right

1972
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:44,720
Speaker 5: from all the teams he played for and catching in

1973
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:48,479
Speaker 5: first base and knowing what it's like to struggle and

1974
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:50,280
Speaker 5: to be traded and to move. AROUND i, MEAN i

1975
01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:52,800

Speaker 5: not playing as much for The reds As josh. Is

1994
01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 5: he's pretty much solidified himself out there in the outfield

1995
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 5: with The, angels but their story with their mother and

1996

01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,759
Speaker 5: there's something about, baseball, Right it's such a romantic sport

2002
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:08,120

Speaker 5: is we did a game here last, Year reds And,

2014
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 5: dbacs And gino was on The dbacks at the, time

01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:51,760
Speaker 5: are always asking when we get to come back. Here

2018
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 5: and sure, enough he came back. Here And i'm sure

2019
01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:57,639
Speaker 5: that his impact on that clubhouse is immeasurable because he's

2020
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:00,799
Speaker 5: just such a great. Dude AND i love the protection

2021
01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:03,519
Speaker 5: in the lineup he's. GIVING i, mean you've Got, Ellie

2022
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:06,200
Speaker 5: you've Got, Sally you've Got. Geno that's a that's a

2023
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:10,680
Speaker 5: good you, know three four five in your. Order AND

2024
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 5: i know it hasn't always panned out in the early,

2025
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:16,120
Speaker 5: going BUT i think that these the team can get

2026
01:42:16,240 --> 01:42:18,880
Speaker 5: rolling and click AND Tj, FRIEDEL i, mean you're gonna

2027
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 5: see him bounce. Back he's he's a better player than

2028
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,400
Speaker 5: he started off this, season AND i think that we'll

2029
01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 5: see him become the great leadoff hitteries. Again so all

2030
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:30,120
Speaker 5: that stuff Which red fans are certainly aware. Of and

2031
01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 5: then you, know we'll see if If Jorge, solaire if

2032
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:35,680
Speaker 5: his suspension is, UPHELD i think that news should be

2033
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 5: coming down, soon so he might, actually you, know The

2034
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,960
Speaker 5: reds might catch a break if he's out for this entire.

2035
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:45,760
Speaker 5: Series if, that if, that that ruling should probably come down.

2036
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:48,120
Speaker 5: SOON i would imagine it's going to come today and if,

2037
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:52,080
Speaker 5: not maybe. Tomorrow but that's going to be coming. Soon and,

2038
01:42:52,479 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 5: YEAH i mean, This This angels team is also rolling

2039
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 5: in the early. GOING i think we're seeing both of these.

2040
01:42:57,560 --> 01:43:01,360
Speaker 5: Teams they've been on the cuff right and The reds got,

2041
01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:04,200
Speaker 5: there they got to the postseason last year and they're

2042
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 5: looking to build off of that and they certainly made

2043
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:08,800
Speaker 5: the moves to do. That but the The angels, TEAM

2044
01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:11,519
Speaker 5: i think is a lot better than people give them credit.

2045
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:13,559
Speaker 5: For and a lot of people have discounted The angels

2046
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:15,720
Speaker 5: because they have struggled for quite a few years. Now

2047
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:18,479
Speaker 5: but this team is looking good and they're early. Going

2048
01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 5: they've Got Kurt suzuki at the helm now And trout

2049
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:25,760
Speaker 5: has spoke glowingly of his impact on this. Team and

2050
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:27,800
Speaker 5: when you've got young guys and you've got a player

2051
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:30,800
Speaker 5: who's been there, RECENTLY i mean look At Stephen boat

2052
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 5: In cleveland and how well that worked. Out AND i

2053
01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:36,720
Speaker 5: was curious to see, too because he's a player's, guy

2054
01:43:36,840 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 5: and he's a fun, guy and he's a clubhouse, guy

2055
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:42,519
Speaker 5: and how would he command respect inside that? Clubhouse and

2056
01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 5: he's one manager of the year back to back years

2057
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:47,679
Speaker 5: and taking a team to the. Postseason so it's worked

2058
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 5: out pretty, well AND i Think kurtzyzuki is going to

2059
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:52,040
Speaker 5: have that kind of impact with The. Angels it's just

2060
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:54,800
Speaker 5: whether they're pitching can stay, healthy because that's been a

2061
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,240
Speaker 5: struggle for, them and if their offense can hit the

2062
01:43:57,439 --> 01:43:59,439
Speaker 5: way that they think they, can and If Mike trout

2063
01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:02,160
Speaker 5: can stay Health but by all accounts he says he

2064
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 5: feels great right. NOW i think he's. Rejuvenated he's gone

2065
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:05,360
Speaker 5: back in.

2066
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 3: Time, yeah you, know it's, Funny Mike.

2067
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:11,200
Speaker 2: Trout it feels like just yesterday was THE mvp of

2068
01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:13,800
Speaker 2: The All Star game here nearly eleven years, ago and,

2069
01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:16,360
Speaker 2: man if you would have told me then that we

2070
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:18,519
Speaker 2: would still be waiting to watch him perform in the

2071
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 2: postseason for the first time SINCE i guess the year,

2072
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 2: BEFORE i would have, said there's no.

2073
01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:24,640
Speaker 3: Way and yet that's that's where we. Are by the,

2074
01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:24,960
Speaker 3: way you.

2075
01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:29,040
Speaker 2: Mentioned Jorge, solair so he's facing. Suspension maybe The reds

2076
01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:32,240
Speaker 2: catch a. Break as baseball fights, go, Though, heidi and

2077
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:34,120
Speaker 2: you've seen a bunch does a pretty good.

2078
01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:39,200
Speaker 5: Tussle it was the most amazing thing to me Is

2079
01:44:39,320 --> 01:44:41,599
Speaker 5: helix stood there and thought about it for a. Minute

2080
01:44:41,880 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 5: let the play play, out you, know the stolen base

2081
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:46,600
Speaker 5: is he's, safe and he's, like, kay you know, WHAT

2082
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:50,880
Speaker 5: i just don't like. That i'm just not gonna stand for.

2083
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:55,080
Speaker 5: It he thought about. It it wasn't just a. REACTION i,

2084
01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:57,720
Speaker 5: mean it's obviously a, reaction but he thought about. It and, look,

2085
01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:00,560
Speaker 5: hey if someone was thrown you, know ninety five near my,

2086
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:02,960
Speaker 5: HEAD i don't think i'd react very well. Either, so,

2087
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:08,519
Speaker 5: yeah he has been he's been really good for them

2088
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:10,960
Speaker 5: in the early going this, year and especially since that.

2089
01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:13,680
Speaker 5: Fight it seems to have ignited a little. Fire so

2090
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 5: For reds fan's, SAKE i, mean, look it's always fun

2091
01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:20,400
Speaker 5: to watch the superstars the, sport and to see where

2092
01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:22,439
Speaker 5: He's hilaire hit in this ballpark would be kind of,

2093
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:26,640
Speaker 5: fun but For angels fans at. Least but, yeah The

2094
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:29,160
Speaker 5: reds might catch a break there BECAUSE i would expect

2095
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:32,720
Speaker 5: that his appeal is going to be coming down.

2096
01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:33,720
Speaker 7: Soon so we'll.

2097
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:35,679

01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:33,720
Speaker 2: On Friday Night baseball And APPLE tv tonight against The,

2141
01:47:33,760 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 2: angels first, pitch six forty. Five so that the big

2142
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:38,120
Speaker 2: story in the sport for the first two plus weeks

2143
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:41,720
Speaker 2: has BEEN, abs AND i feel like we've the way

2144
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:43,639
Speaker 2: that we've talked about it has slowed down a little

2145
01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 2: bit because we've all gotten used to.

2146
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:46,479
Speaker 3: IT i love.

2147
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 2: IT i think it's it's added a dimension of. Strategy

2148
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:52,360
Speaker 2: fans at the ballpark get into.

2149
01:47:52,439 --> 01:47:53,479
Speaker 3: IT i think it's.

2150
01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 2: Actually made the public, realize and a lot of folks

2151
01:47:56,880 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 2: feel the. OPPOSITE i think it's made the public realize

2152
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,559
Speaker 2: how hard being a homeplate umpire is and how good

2153
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:05,880
Speaker 2: most of these guys. Are as you've covered the, sport

2154
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:08,280
Speaker 2: when you talk to, players when you talk to, people

2155
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:11,280
Speaker 2: and are folks settling? In is there a different angle

2156
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:13,479
Speaker 2: ON abs that you weren't. Expecting give me a minute ON.

2157
01:48:13,560 --> 01:48:15,599
Speaker 2: Abs you, know it's.

2158
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:18,680
Speaker 5: Interesting every single person in and around the game THAT

2159
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:22,519
Speaker 5: i have talked to loves, it loved, it and there

2160
01:48:22,680 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 5: was so much resistance last spring, training right you Heard

2161
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 5: Max sure's a railing against it AND i haven't had

2162
01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 5: a chance to talk To maxim person, yet SO i

2163
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 5: will be interested because he always has a very informed

2164
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 5: and interesting take on the sport of. Baseball BUT i

2165
01:48:36,360 --> 01:48:38,120
Speaker 5: would be willing to get that he likes how it's

2166
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:41,800
Speaker 5: been implemented as. Well my trout loves. It, again every

2167
01:48:41,880 --> 01:48:44,640
Speaker 5: manager and Player i've talked, to you don't want to

2168
01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:47,360
Speaker 5: end a game the way The World Baseball classic, ended,

2169
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 5: right a game that, matters and that hasn't really happened

2170
01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:53,960
Speaker 5: in the early, going but we've seen it effect outcomes

2171
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:55,680
Speaker 5: of that. Bets LIKE i, said we just did The

2172
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:58,600
Speaker 5: Brave diamondbacks last. Week they had an Inning, thursday the

2173
01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:02,160
Speaker 5: night before our game where all The albis. Challenged he

2174
01:49:02,320 --> 01:49:04,280
Speaker 5: was the first batter of an, inning but he, challenged

2175
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:06,519
Speaker 5: and he drew a walk instead of striking, out and

2176
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:10,320
Speaker 5: that set up the eight run. Inning they wouldn't have

2177
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:14,000
Speaker 5: scored any of those runs had he made an out

2178
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:16,200
Speaker 5: as the first at, back because the next two betters

2179
01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 5: did what they did. Anyway so it just it's interesting

2180
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:22,160
Speaker 5: how it's impacting the. Game but you're, right for the most,

2181
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:26,120
Speaker 5: part we're seeing the misses AND i love that it.

2182
01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:30,840
Speaker 5: Shows it's a point eight inches off the, plate less

2183
01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:33,240
Speaker 5: than an inch or one point one inches or. Whatever

2184
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:38,400
Speaker 5: you're seeing that it's such a game of literal inches in,

2185
01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:41,840
Speaker 5: baseball but especially with THE abs strike, zone that even

2186
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 5: the misses for the most part are really dialed in

2187
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 5: and really, close and it is showing. THAT i, mean

2188
01:49:47,160 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 5: there's been a couple of umpires that have gotten that

2189
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:49,920
Speaker 5: have had bad.

2190
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:50,880
Speaker 3: Days, yeah and.

2191
01:49:50,960 --> 01:49:54,040
Speaker 5: As Aaron Aaron boone, said did not make an. Adjustment

2192
01:49:54,520 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 5: but for the most, part it's really highlighting how good

2193
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:01,360
Speaker 5: they are and how tough it is to be a

2194
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:05,000
Speaker 5: picture and hit a pinpoint spot and how tough it

2195
01:50:05,120 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 5: is to have a good. EYE i, Mean Logan ohapi's

2196
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:09,439
Speaker 5: been one of the best in. BASEBALL i think he's

2197
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:12,479
Speaker 5: ten for twelve on challenges as a. CATCHER i mean

2198
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,760
Speaker 5: that's a really good. Ratio so he'll be behind the

2199
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:19,439
Speaker 5: dish tonight for The angels and we'll. See but it's

2200
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:22,440
Speaker 5: been a lot of people are just, saying, look it's

2201
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,840
Speaker 5: writing something that we the public can now be right

2202
01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:28,640
Speaker 5: with all of the technology that we. Have it's just

2203
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:31,640
Speaker 5: fixing something that so people aren't going to be so.

2204
01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:34,719
Speaker 5: Angry and, hey if you had an opportunity to challenge

2205
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:37,720
Speaker 5: and you didn't, challenge that's now on. You you can't

2206
01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:39,840
Speaker 5: get mad at the umpire for. That and you do

2207
01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:42,520
Speaker 5: have to have some strategy with. It so it's incorporating

2208
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:45,599
Speaker 5: even more strategy in a game that already has so much.

2209
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:49,240
Speaker 5: Strategy but for the, thinkers for the baseball, thinkers it's really.

2210
01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:51,320
Speaker 5: Fun do we use it? Here do we not use it?

2211
01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:53,960
Speaker 5: Here most of the managers and Players i've talked. To

2212
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:56,479
Speaker 5: the managers are, like, look if it's early in the,

2213
01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:58,679
Speaker 5: game or if it's a low leverage, situation you better

2214
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:01,920
Speaker 5: be one hundred percent if you're going to, challenge and

2215
01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:05,760
Speaker 5: less so if it's a sticky situation or late in

2216
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 5: the game or something that can be really. Impactful if

2217
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:11,640
Speaker 5: you're pretty, sure you can. Challenge but a lot of

2218
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:13,720
Speaker 5: people have, said AND i Heard tito say this the other,

2219
01:51:13,840 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 5: day they want to kind of use it strategically as,

2220
01:51:16,840 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 5: well late in the game if they need an extra

2221
01:51:19,120 --> 01:51:23,240
Speaker 5: timeout for their. Picture it's almost can be saved as

2222
01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 5: an extra, timeout, like, hey let's, challenge take a, beat

2223
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:29,320
Speaker 5: get a. Breath if you're out of mound. Visits it's

2224
01:51:29,439 --> 01:51:30,960
Speaker 5: just kind of an extra way to do it that way,

2225
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:34,160
Speaker 5: Too so it's all. Strategy baseball has become such a

2226
01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:35,680
Speaker 5: game of, chess AND i just love.

2227
01:51:35,720 --> 01:51:36,439
