Speaker 4: Thanks for joining us. Let's just take a moment here

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 4: here it is another Cincinnati sports season has come to

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 4: a crashing halt. Red's swept out of Los Angeles. Their

13
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: season is ended. They do so in a microcosm of

14
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 4: what went wrong over the course of one hundred and

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 4: sixty two games for them. So true, all combined in

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 4: one game last night.

17
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 4: Questionable managerial decisions yes, pitching decisions yes. Inability to hit

19
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 4: in big time moments. Runner, you're three four and five.

20
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 5: Hitters in scoring position, lineup questions, bat's on shoulders, shoddy defense,

21
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 5: inability to field cleanly.

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: So many things we have to talk about.

23
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 5: Swinging it, pitches, seventeen inches outside to strike soon.

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 4: The end of the season, and what we'll talk about today.

25
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: If you're one of those out there and listen, everyone

26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: is entitled to their own opinion. Your opinion might not

27
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 4: agree with mine. If you are one that's out there

28
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: today celebrating a successful red season merely because they made

29
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 4: it in on the last day of the year due

30
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 4: to another team's meltdown in an expanded playoff field. If

31
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: you count this season as a success, then we just disagree.

32
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 5: I think it is possible to be happy that they

33
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 5: made the postseason, sure, and I think we all should

34
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 5: be happy that they made the postseason. That's good for

35
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 5: us as fans, it's good for the organization. But that

36
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 5: does not mean that the season can be labeled a success.

37
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: Correct.

38
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 5: And from what I saw the reporting from our friend

39
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 5: Joe Danoman made me is that in the locker room

40
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 5: the clubhouse post game there was a sense of accomplishment.

41
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 5: That does not sit right with me, and that to me,

42
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 5: speaks to a bigger issue about the organizational attitude towards winning.

43
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, they finished with eighty three regular season wins. Eighty

44
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: three in a normal season. That doesn't get you in

45
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 4: in a season where a team doesn't have a historical collapse,

46
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 4: you're not in correct, and yet you get swept out

47
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: of LA and there is a feel of accomplishment. We're

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: going to spend a lot of time on that today.

49
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: We're going to talk what happened in the other MLB games.

50
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 4: All three other games, by the way, Austin, the team's

51
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 4: facing elimination, forced a game three today. Yeah, Tiger's Guardians, Padres, Cubs,

52
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: Red Sox, Yankees, all happening today, lose and go home,

53
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: Wims and you're in.

54
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: Have all been fun and competitive, very true.

55
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: I thought about maybe doing the show like Shador Sanders today,

56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: Oh and just minding everything.

57
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: That's not a bad idea.

58
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 5: What a clown act that was from Shador Sanders yesterday.

59
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: And you know what's funny is people start blaming the media.

60
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: It's like, why did the media go to him to

61
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: get a reaction? Well, why do you think correct? Because

62
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 5: they know they can correct because he is a and

63
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 5: an immature got it played right into it, and he

64
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 5: played right into it.

65
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: Here's what else we got coming up in our number

Speaker 3: Yeah.

100
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,080

120
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,520

00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: one hour show Houston, which then grew to two and

122
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,040

Speaker 5: to us, behind the product, behind the project, behind the show,

126
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: Moe Egger who did it himself for quite some time.

127
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 5: We think of people like Jimmy Sandy produced for many years,

128
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 5: so Jeff Jimmy, Guys like Jeff Carr who were a

129
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 5: part of this show, so many great ones. Tarren Bland

00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 5: and he's covered more than once and left talkbacks. He's

133
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 5: probably ripping a couple of heaters right now. Would be

134
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 5: my guest. So many people over the years, Chad Brindle,

135
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 5: how could we forget? How about I think ken Brew

136
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 5: filled in one time. Yeah, there's been all sorts of

137
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 5: different people, wonderful sponsors. Skyline's been here from the very beginning.

138
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: Yep.

139
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 5: Do you remember when we had rides as a sponsors?

140
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 5: That was a fun time. What about Voke Energy chewable tablet?

141
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 5: Do you remember getting voked up back in the day.

142
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 5: I do a lot of good stuff, and you know,

143
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 5: I've only been here for like four of it, so

144
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: you know, obviously it was long before me. But you know,

145
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 5: everybody from from Tarn Bland to Rick Uccino to Jimmy

146
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 5: Sandy to Anthony Pike and Moegar and everyone else.

147
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: What a day. It's pretty cool. Here's to uh, what

148
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: do they say, eight more years? I'm just lucky if

149
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: we get eight more minutes. Yep, that's what I'd like

150
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: to do.

151
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 4: You know, my dad often says when it's him and

152
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: my mom's anniversary, no matter how many years they've been

153
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 4: doing it. But anytime I wonder how long they've been

154
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 4: doing it, I think about my age and my mom

155
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: and dad had been married thirty nine years now, and

156
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: every time they have an anniversary, my dad goes to

157
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 4: that same line. He says, you know, to me, it

158
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: only feels like thirty nine minutes underwater.

159
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: So in lieu of Big Steve to do you feel

160
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: like you're underwater right now?

161
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I do?

162
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do it.

163
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 4: Uh, it feels like it's flown by eight special special.

164
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: You've been here for You've been doing it for five six,

165
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 5: I think it's six now six.

166
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 4: It's crazy because I've been doing the Tony and Moe

167
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 4: Football Show for eleven, and that doesn't make sense like

168
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: I was just hanging out for those for those years

169
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 4: where I just do the one day and be like,

170
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: all right, see you next week.

171
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: You've got other guys.

172
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 5: I'm thinking about some of the constant guests that we

173
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 5: have had, Charlie Goldsmith. Obviously in the early years, Adam

174
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 5: Baum was on the ball. Love Adam Baum.

175
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: Yep, oh Man, Yeah. Joey d obviously a big part

176
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: of it.

177
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: So many people have made this possible, and honestly, I

178
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 4: can't thank everyone enough from again, our listeners, talk about talkbacks,

179
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 4: have become the guest, the sponsors, everyone that has has

180
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 4: poured into this show.

181
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: Guys like Richard, Remember Richard, shout out to Richard. I

182
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 3: love Richard.

183
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 4: We need and this is serious, we need soon a

184
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 4: Cincy three to sixty appreciation night. We used to do

185
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 4: them more regularly on the schedule. We need to get

186
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 4: one of those.

187
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: In kind of try to do them this year. And

188
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: you bailed. Yeah, we need to get one of those

189
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: in soon.

190
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 6: But uh, I asked myself, would you give your life

191
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 6: for Joe Burrow?

192
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 7: Because he gave his life for you still holds.

193
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 4: True today it's a good point. Would you give your toe?

194
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 4: What would you give for Cincy three sixty? Yeah, let's

195
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 4: celebrate today by talking about the Reds.

196
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: How we're looking.

197
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 4: I thought, Austin, I thought we'd have a chance of

198
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 4: coming today and talk about the Reds have given us life.

199
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 4: And by golly, we got one more shot tonight. I

200
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 4: thought about it last night.

201
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 5: I thought that if the Reds made the playoffs, Nicolodolo

202
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 5: and Andrew Abbott would throw more than fourteen combined pitches.

203
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know, Lodolo really slugged through last night.

204
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: He just didn't have his stuff.

205
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

206
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 4: Was there a sane person on social media last night

207
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: that thought Zach Lttel should go back out for the fourth?

208
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: No?

209
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 4: Was there a sane person that watched when Nick Martinez

210
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 4: took the mound and wondered, Wow, did Nick Lodolo get hurt?

211
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 4: Chase Burns minimal? Andrew Abbot minimal? Why Nick Lodolo minimal?

212
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: Why?

213
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 6: Year?

214
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: Sorry?

215
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: All year?

216
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 4: What we hear Austin? The Reds will be dangerous in

217
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 4: the playoffs because of their pitching Lodolo, Abbot, Green Burns.

218
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: They got how much from them?

219
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: I thought they would? How much from them?

220
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 5: Fourteen pitches from Abbot and Lodolo, sixty five pitches in

221
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 5: which they were being tipped by Hunter Green and Chase

222
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: Burns pitched the last inning of the season when the

223
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 5: game was basically out of hand last night? Why go

224
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 5: to Nick Martinez in the sixth instead of Chase Burns?

225
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 4: Don't get it? Why take Lodolo out? Don't get it?

226
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 4: And you feel if you're Will Benson, I actually feel

227
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 4: really bad for Will benchon you know Will Benson in

228
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: his first at bat last night.

229
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 5: One of the best at bets he's ever showed a

230
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 5: great eye walked and even though he was down one too,

231
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 5: it looked like he was seeing the ball well.

232
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 4: And I think he was seeing it so well that

233
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 4: Roberts thought, I'm not even gonna risk this. She hands

234
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: missing his spot. I'm not gonna risk this game changing

235
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: because we miss a spot. They bring in a pitcher

236
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 4: and Terry Francona takes the bat out of Will Benson's hand,

237
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 4: which is one unfair to him and two unfair to

238
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: give andngehar the bat but he's already down two strikes.

239
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 5: And then he strikes out on the strikeout is a

240
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 5: sign to Will Benson. Yeah, and Benson understandably just walks

241
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 5: down to the tunnel. For him to have his season

242
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 5: end like that, Yeah, that is insulting to Will Benson, who, yes,

243
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 5: has had some moments where he leaves you scratching your

244
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 5: head and leaves you frustrated. But also it felt like

245
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 5: a dude who made a legitimate adjustment and was slowly

246
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 5: but steadily improving over the course of the entire season.

247
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 6: Yep.

248
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 5: And for the whatever thirty chunk thirty game chunk of

249
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 5: the season where he did not get a shot.

250
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 3: That I just I don't understand.

251
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 4: Is it bat was great Austin. I watched in the

252
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: first inning last night. I think one of the best

253
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 4: of bouts of the season was south Stewart. Yeah, I agree,

254
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 4: And I thought to myself, this guy couldn't even make

255
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: the roster until the end of the year, and this

256
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: guy got played sparingly down the stretching in the postseason.

257
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: That at bat and not only the a bat Austin.

258
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: We heard what Joe Daniman said about the feeling in

259
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 4: the clubhouse. Do you think south Stewart had that feeling?

260
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 4: That man was angry. Yeah, he was upset after that

261
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: game last night. He didn't want it to end. He

262
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 4: was responsible for three of the runs. One of the

263
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: best at bats you'll see against Austin, one of the

264
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: best pitchers in all of baseball, got two strikes, battled

265
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 4: ends up, choking down a little bit, two RBI single red's,

266
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 4: got the lead to nothing. That bat couldn't make this roster,

267
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: That bat couldn't consistently be in the lineup every day

268
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 4: on this team. And I'll say it, and I text

269
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 4: this to you guys last night, Austin. I thought Yamamota

270
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 4: was reeling a little bit. In the first I agree

271
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: there was an air. Stewart had a grated bat, and

272
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 4: then in the second he settled in because he threw

273
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 4: and got out Stevenson, and then he got the pitch

274
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 4: to Kee, Brian Hayes and Matt McLean and it felt

275
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: like after that he settled in, he found what he

276
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: was looking for and he was dominant. They had him

277
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 4: on the ropes, and the way the lineup is constructed,

278
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: in my opinion, let him off so much frustration and

279
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 4: what I thought would not be the case often to

280
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: where we had to question the managers, what the feel up,

281
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: the end game moves. It all finished, I think with

282
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: a lot to be desired, and for me, disappointment that

283
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 4: game didn't end last night and I didn't sit back like, well,

284
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 4: cheers to the twenty twenty five Reds. What a ride

285
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 4: it's been they made the playoffs. What a successful year.

286
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 4: I didn't think about that. I thought about how disappointing

287
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 4: it ended. You lose on the last game of the

288
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 4: regular season. You get in because the Mets lost, You

289
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 4: went forty to forty over your last eighty regular season games,

290
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 4: and you did things in the playoffs that were just

291
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: head scratching. I think frustrating was the word that came

292
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 4: to mind last night. Let's take our first break of

293
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 4: the day. We'll finish with or we'll talk more Reds

294
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: when we get back. We'll maybe grab a phone callar too.

334

Speaker 6: Well, I appreciate that, Tony. It goes both ways.

335
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 9: Brother.

336
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 6: I appreciate you guys, and I know I can drive

337
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 6: you crazy sometimes and I apologize for that. I'm sure

338
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 6: thankful for the show, and hopefully guys get some more

339
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 6: years in there and keep hanging. I've been calling the

340
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 6: most since two thy ten, Wow, every day unless I

341
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 6: had surgery or lost part of my leg. Yeah, I

342
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 6: have incredible, incredible, Well, I have no life. But you know,

343
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 6: once my wife passed away, everything changed and the kids

344
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 6: grew up and went away. So ports talk radio has

345
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 6: been a big thing for me, and I'm very grateful

346
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 6: for it. So thanks you, guys, and congratulations.

347
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 3: Thank you Mike.

348
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 6: That's more important than anything because you're you know, you're

349
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 6: not superstars or you are here locally, but I mean

350
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 6: you just regular guys come in and do your job,

351
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 6: do good, and we're.

352
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: Grateful for that.

353
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Thank you, Mike.

354
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 6: I think our biggest problem with the REGs is you

355
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 6: give up eighteen runs and two games you're not gonna win.

356
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 6: I mean that's just it.

357
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: Yep.

358
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 6: You can't give up that many runs.

359
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: Especially when you look at how the other games played out. Yep.

360
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: All the other games highly contest. Uh, I agree, It

361
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: just they they didn't compete the way they needed to.

362
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 6: No, and we were all so high on the starting pitching,

363
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 6: and Hunter just froze up for some reason, got stage fried.

364
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 6: I don't who knows why. Just bad time to crap out.

365
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 6: And then yesterday they just jumped on it again. So

366
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 6: uh they the Dodgers did it. I'll tell you what, man.

367
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 6: I liked the pop man.

368
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 10: I kept waiting for Nanny to do something because I

369
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 10: was getting kind of hacked off at him. But he's

370
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 10: been doing it now for so long that I was

371
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 10: real happy he got he finally. That's the first clutch

372
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 10: hit i've seen him hit make all year. And I

373
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 10: know he's made something. I just haven't seen him, but

374
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 10: you could tell he was elated when.

375
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 6: He hit that home run.

376
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: Correct.

377
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 6: So, and that bullpen is scary, Tony scary.

378
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: Doubt.

379
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 6: I think it'll be a West Coast series. I think

380
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 6: it's going to be the Mariners and the UH and

381
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 6: the Pods and both teams good picking. What do you

382
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 6: guys think I know the Philly is still hanging.

383
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

384
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 4: The Phillies and the losses Zach Wheeler are so big,

385
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 4: and and the way the Dodgers are hitting the ball

386
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 4: right now, I'd have a hard time believing anyone can

387
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 4: beat them the way they swing. And I like the

388
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 4: Padres and what they can do offensively if they can

389
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 4: win today. But I'm with you, there's something about the

390
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 4: Mariners that I like. If not the Mariners, I'd like

391
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 4: to see the Blue Jays make a run at it.

392
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would too, because they haven't done for he said.

393
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 6: The thing with San Diego is and you get to

394
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 6: that bullpen and it's pretty much over unless something crazy happens,

395
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 6: like they all have a bad day. That little left hander,

396
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 6: that Moore John, he's no joke either. I hadn't seen

397
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 6: him but a couple of times this year. He's special.

398
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 6: But you're right. All the games has been low scoring

399
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 6: and close and fun, except for the Red Series. You know,

400
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 6: our pitching crept out and we thought for sure that

401
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 6: would be the fourte Anyway, Thanks guys.

402
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. I have a great day.

403
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 4: That to me, Austin at the very core of it

404
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: was the most demoralizing. The conversation was if the red

405
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 4: get in, they can be dangerous because of their pitching.

406
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 4: Hunter Green tipt this pitching, I don't know how that

407
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: happens in the playoffs, Hunter Green tipt this pitches Nicolodolo

408
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 4: through minimally. Chase Burns pitched in garbage time. And the

409
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 4: player that represented you on the mound at the All

410
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 4: Star Game didn't even take the mound in the wild

411
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 4: Card series.

412
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 3: Hard to understand. All year we're talking about all year

413
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 3: was pitching is their chance.

414
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 5: If you're going to choose not to spend as much

415
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 5: money as other teams, you have to make sure that

416
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 5: the rest of your operation is buttoned up. The Milwaukee

417
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 5: Brewers have a lower payroll than the Reds to the

418
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 5: number one seed of the National League. They have elite

419
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 5: advanced scouting, self scouting, data, minor leagues, pitching, development, coaching,

420
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 5: all of it so that they can maximize the talent

421
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 5: that they've had. And you know, for the Reds to

422
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 5: go into a game on the road with their ace

423
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 5: on the mound and for him to be tipping pitches,

424
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 5: that tells me that your self scouting is not good enough.

425
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 5: Your advanced scouting is not good enough. You just you're

426
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 5: playing behind the eight ball.

427
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: You can't.

428
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 5: It's hard enough to beat the Dodgers without them knowing

429
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 5: what's coming. Yeah, and you know that sort of stuff.

430
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 5: You've got to be more buttoned up. And that set

431
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 5: the tone for the series. Yep, let's set the tone

432
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 5: now for the rest of the day. We will get

433
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 5: to your phone calls again here at the end of

434
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 5: the first hour. That that's important. I want to make

435
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 5: sure we get calls in today. Well, we've got a

436
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 5: really cool opportunity to talk to one of the biggest

437
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 5: names right now, and not just Cincinnati, but a name

00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 5: that's sweeping college football. The quarterback of the Bearcats, Brendan Soorsby,

451
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 4: QBR in the country, authoring one of the best offenses

452
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 4: in the country, coming off a win against a very

453
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 4: good Kansas team in a hostile environment, and now returning

454
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 4: to Knippert Stadium against the fourteenth ranked Iowa State Cyclones.

455
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: Brendan Soresby is joining us right now. Brendan, what's going on, man?

456

Speaker 4: then you're on to Iowa State. What's the last couple

461
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 4: of days been like.

462
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: A lot of recovery. Body was a little banged up

463
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: right after the game.

464
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 9: You know, traveling after a win is definitely a lot better.

465
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: So that was a fun experience.

466
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 9: And then you know, once we got back, just making

467
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 9: sure we got our bodies right ready to go for

468
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,440

469
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 9: everybody clocked in and ready to go on Saturday.

470
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: How big of a weight does it lift off the shoulders,

471
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 4: because you guys have been very competitive and there have

472
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 4: been times where it's just come up a player too

473
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 4: short to get the ball back laid against Kansas to

474
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 4: play as efficiently as you guys did offensively, you didn't

475
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 4: have Joe Royer in the second half defensively, no Dante

476
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 4: Corleone in the game to get that ball back, go

477
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 4: down and finish that off. How much momentum does that

478
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 4: now build for a team?

479
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 9: Well, I know, just like you know the fans have

480
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 9: gone through it with the on score ball game is

481
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 9: not going our way, I trust me. You know as

482
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 9: a player that whenever you're on the losing side of those,

483
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 9: you start to lose confidence. And you know we were

484
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 9: finally on the right side of one of those and

485
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 9: came out victorious. So you know, being able to carry

486
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 9: that momentum going for will be for us.

487
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: Knowing that we can do it, knowing that we can

488
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: win those close games and go close.

489
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 9: It out, you know, and just playing playing a complimentary

490
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 9: football on all three phases. You know, that was a

491
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 9: really good offensive team over there in Kansas, and you know,

492
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 9: we knew that they were going to be able to

493
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 9: score points just you know they do.

494
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: They do on everybody.

495
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 9: So you know, our defense bailed us out whenever they

496
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 9: needed to, and you know, we.

497
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: Were able to put some drives together and put points

498
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: on the board, and at the end of the day,

499
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: we won.

500
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 9: So we got to find a way to carry this

501
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 9: into this week right here and find a way to

502
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 9: go bet a competitive team and IOWA stayed really good

503
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 9: coach team and you know, obviously top fifteen team in

504
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 9: the country.

505
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 4: I thought about two thousand and nine a game that

506
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: I played against Pittsburgh. We're down, we get the ball late,

507
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 4: and before taking the field, nothing was ever really said,

508
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 4: but you could just tell and looking in the guy's

509
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 4: eyes there was a confidence that you were going to

510
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 4: go down and win the game. You guys got the

511
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 4: ball back down thirty four to thirty with a minute

512
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 4: forty five left. You go on a ten play drive.

513
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 4: Take me to the sideline. Before the drive started, was

514
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 4: there anything that needed to be said or did you

515
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 4: guys kind of know what was ahead of end what

516
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 4: needed to be done.

517
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 9: You know, everybody understood what needed to be done. Obviously,

518
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 9: you know, we're dapping each other up saying, you know, we.

519
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: We got this, we know what we're gonna do. We

520
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: know we're gonna go put it in the end zone.

521
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: And you know that was that.

522
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 9: I don't think I don't ever think there was too much,

523
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 9: you know, disbelief from anybody on that sideline.

524
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: I think everybody understood.

525
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 9: That that we were going to do whatever it took

526
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 9: to put it in.

527
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: The end zone. And everybody knows how hard it.

528
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 9: Is to go do that, especially when the defense knows

529
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 9: you have to score a touchdown. And we still had

530
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 9: some adverse situations that drive you know, obviously the illegal

531
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 9: touching and you know, just just a couple of other

532
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 9: things that went against us, but you know, we found

533
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 9: a way to persevere and.

534
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: Go punch it in the end zone. And I think

535
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: that's just a testament to this group of guys that

536
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: we have.

537
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 9: You know, everybody's got a common belief in the in

538
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 9: a common.

539
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: Goal that we want to go.

540
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 9: We want to go win some ball games this year,

541
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 9: and we knew what it was going to take and

542
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 9: we did it.

543
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 4: I want to get to your your offensive line in

544
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 4: just a moment, but talk about the receiving corps. I

545
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 4: know Joe Royer didn't in the second half, but he

546
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 4: had a huge third and long grab for twenty yards

547
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: that kept the drive alive. We've seen Jeff Codwell, Noah

548
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 4: Jennings with the one handed catch, Gavin Grover almost getting

549
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 4: to the end zone getting stopped a few inches short,

550
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 4: Caleb Goodie, Cyrus Allen with the career day. How fun

551
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 4: is it now that you've got these guys in the system,

552
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 4: you can see their confidence growing. How fun is it

553
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 4: to be able to spread the ball around to your

554
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 4: receiving core.

555
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a blast. You know, it makes my life easy.

556
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: It makes my job, you.

557
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 9: Know, fun for sure, to just be able to go

558
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 9: out there and say, hey, you know, let these guys

559
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 9: will make plays and you know they make me.

560
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: Look a lot better than I am.

561
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 9: So just finding a way to get these guys the ball,

562
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 9: and like you said, Grover stepping up whenever.

563
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: Joe went down.

564
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 9: After Joe made an amazing catch on third down, you know,

565
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 9: we'll be able to get Joe back this week. And

566
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 9: I believe he's the best tide end of the country,

567
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 9: So that's huge for us. So, you know, just the

568
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 9: ability of guys to step up whenever we need them

569
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 9: to and just make plays is huge for us.

570
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: And having confidence and you know, eight guys.

571
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 9: To go out there and catch a pass for you

572
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 9: is huge for sure. So we're really excited about this

573
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 9: group of guys that we have, you know, out wide

574
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 9: for us and you know, a tight end especially so.

575
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: We've been saying it.

576
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 9: For a long time, but people think I always give

577
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 9: it the quarterback answer. I was telling the media on

578
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 9: Tuesday that you know, I believe in all of our guys,

579
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 9: but I truly do, and you know, I'm willing to

580
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 9: throw to whoever because at.

581
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: The end of the day, I know they're gonna go

582
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: to make a play for me.

583
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 4: I look at your guys backfield, and whether it's Tyler

584
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 4: Walker or Evan Pryor, I just can't imagine a defense

585
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 4: having to negotiate who's getting the ball, because make no

586
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 4: mistake about it, Walker doesn't want to run around you.

587
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 4: He wants to run through you. That's demoralizing for a

588
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 4: corner or a secondary player coming up to make a

589
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 4: tackle and then all of a sudden, Evan Pryor's got

590
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: the ability to bounce one or to make you miss

591
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 4: and then take one the distance you've got the ability

592
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 4: to run. How much does it put on a defense though,

593
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 4: when you've got that that power and the speed that

594
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 4: can hit in the backfield on any given day, Yeah,

595
00:28:59,160 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: I mean.

596
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 9: It puts a ton of stress on you and especially

597
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 9: you know, like you said, I am able to move

598
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 9: a little bit, which makes it harder on the defense

599
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 9: back to account for me. And then it gives our guys,

600
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 9: you know, one less body to have to worry about,

601
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 9: hopefully if I can take somebody away in the run game,

602
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 9: and you know, our guys do a really good job

603
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 9: and one on one situations and making people miss, running

604
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 9: through people, whatever that may be. So just I think,

605
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 9: I think, especially in our backquod right now, we have

606
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 9: a ton of different different threats and stuff that we present.

607
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 9: Like you just said, tell we's a little bit more

608
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 9: power back, but he can shake.

609
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: You Evans more of a home run hitter.

610
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 9: And then I don't even know what you want to

611
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 9: call me, but I can run a little bit.

612
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 1: So that definitely helped now.

613
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 9: And then just the past game obviously being explosive right

614
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 9: now is helping the run.

615
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: Game as well. So if we can keep that going, I.

616
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 6: Think we're going to be a really tough offense to stop.

617
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 9: It's just up to us to continue to execute and

618
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 9: make sure that we're we're on our p's and q's.

619
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 7: Uh.

620
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 4: The first giving up of the season happened against Kansas.

621
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 4: I thought it was just the right play call at

622
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 4: the right time for Kansas. They brought a pressure and

623
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 4: you guys were running. A little play action makes it

624
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 4: a little bit tougher to block. But the offensive line

625
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 4: up front. You look at your running numbers, you look

626
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 4: at the passing game numbers, you look at your ability

627
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 4: to stay clean at times in the pocket. How how

628
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 4: important is that group up front?

629
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 9: Ben, I mean, they've been they've been a huge help

630
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 9: for us this year, especially you know in the past,

631
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 9: came in.

632
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: The wrong game.

633
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 9: You know, they've been doing a really good job of

634
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 9: blocking for the run and then they've been doing an

635
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 9: excellent job of walking and protecting.

636
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: For the past.

637
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 9: That one sack is is very unfortunate because, like you know,

638
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 9: on a little boot leg like that, the old line

639
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 9: really doesn't have anything to do with it.

640
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: So that was unfortunate.

641
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 9: I was I was trying to do everything I could

642
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 9: to throw it away on you know, avoid that sack,

643
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 9: especially for the big guy's sake. But you know, they're

644
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 9: playing really well up front and couldn't.

645
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: Be happier for that group.

646
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 9: I love that group of guys, and you know, I

647
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 9: hope they continue to love me and protect me throughout

648
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 9: the rest of the season. I'm gonna try to take

649
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 9: care of them as much as possible because they're putting

650
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 9: their bodies in the line.

651
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: Every player.

652
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 4: Well, as long as you keep getting to these steak dinners,

653
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna they're going to take care of

654
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 4: You said earlier in the week that after wins, you're

655
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 4: taking the offensive lineman to Jeff Ruby's.

656
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 3: Is that right?

657
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: I take them there. I try to take them there

658
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: after every win. You know, obviously Jeff Ruby's.

659
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 9: Is a very top spot in Cincinnati, so it's kind

660
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 9: of tough to get reservations, but they usually hook us up.

661
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 4: So are you are we talking just the starting five

662
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 4: linemen or any lineman that plays in the game. How

663
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 4: how do you decide who gets to go?

664
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 9: Usually it's it's any lineman that plays in the game.

665
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 9: So after no after Northwestern Day, we had to make

666
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 9: some adjustments.

667
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: We had boys. I don't know. I don't know about

668
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: this one, but No, it was.

669
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 9: Uh, it's usually any lineman that plays in the game,

670
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 9: and you know, we try to make sure that they're

671
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 9: taken care of because they're doing a heck of a

672
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 9: job up for sure.

673
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: They're pushing for those those heavy linemen sets. Then they

674
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 4: want to they want to get six to seven linemen

675
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 4: in the game.

676
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, they're they're trying, they're trying to coach. Carbo

677
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 6: keeps trying to throw other guys in there.

678
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, we don't. We don't need to keep

679
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: doing this throwing them.

680
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: So before I let you go.

681
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 4: The way you've adapted to Scott's sadderfield system, I know

682
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 4: that's a big part of what you guys are able

683
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 4: to do. Tell me a little bit about Iowa State

684
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 4: and some of the challenges that they do possess on

685
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball for Saturday.

686
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're really talented and they play really hard. So

687
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 9: you know, we got to be we got to be

688
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 9: able to exec you for sure, and just make sure

689
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 9: that our attention to detail is really sharp, because you know,

690
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 9: these guys are are obviously top fifteen for a reason,

691
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 9: So you know, we got to go out there and

692
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 9: do what we do. We got to make sure we're disciplined,

693
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 9: and like you said, my second year in the system,

694
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 9: I feel a lot more confident. I feel like coach

695
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 9: Sadderfield's a lot more confident me and this group. So,

696
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 9: you know, we just got to find a way to

697
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 9: keep keep the chains moving and find a way to

698
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 9: put points on the board.

699
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: You know, luckily, we're able to go.

700
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 9: Against this type of defense every day in practice, So

701
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 9: we just got to go out there and do what

702
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 9: we do, and I think will be good from.

703
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 4: Having the chance to play at UC and watching what

704
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 4: you're able to do right now, there's a great sense

705
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 4: of pride I take in watching how you guys are operating,

706
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,000

716
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,360

717

722
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,720

Speaker 3: Hoy, lead us, John. Take a couple of phone calls.

760
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 5: John was suffering with the rest of us through that

761
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 5: Red game last night.

762
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: Poor guy, I know it.

763
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 12: Mark, what's happening, man, Yeah, I just called in to

764
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 12: talk about that game last night. I thought he left.

765
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 12: I thought he left that picture in in and too long.

766
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 12: I thought I would never say this about him, But

767
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 12: the way he managed that that pitching staff, going all

768
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 12: the way back to the Milwaukee series where you you

769
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 12: didn't see Abbot in Game one or two, because I

770
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 12: think it's Green and Abbot, not Green and Lodolo. I

771
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 12: think the Dolo is the third picture that you would

772
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 12: have counted on. And that lineup I thought. I didn't

773
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 12: think he set that lineup up right last night. I

774
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 12: would have had steered back in the middle of that

775
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 12: lineup somewhere that basis loaded situation that came up, you know,

776
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 12: instead of bringing Andrew har off the bench, I probably

777
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 12: would have either started him or Benson yep, and I

778
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 12: would have had that South do a guy at third base.

779
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: Man.

780
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 12: Forget about Hayes and his defense. You needed, you need

781
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 12: to score all the runs you could. I just I mean,

782
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 12: I complained about managers and coaches a lot, as you

783
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 12: can see, but last night was an example of it.

784
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 12: I don't think he even with that game was three

785
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 12: to two, I still thought they had a chance if

786
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 12: they brought in if they brought in one of those

787
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 12: other one of those other guys, if you if you

788
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 12: could have kept it that three to two, I thought

789
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 12: they had a chance.

790
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 5: I mean, when the bases were loaded and nobody was out,

791
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 5: you had three four and five Hayes, Stewart, d la

792
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 5: Cruz coming up like you can't ask for anything more

793
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 5: than that.

794
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a great situation.

795
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 12: But all Austin Hayes does is with men on base,

796
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 12: he tries to pull everything, so you know he's gonna

797
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 12: ground out the third or short and then Stewart, I mean,

798
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 12: you know, he swung out a couple of bad pitches

799
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 12: and then Ellie. I would have never had Ellie Batten

800
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 12: in that spot. I would have had him that in second.

801
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 12: And you know, I would have wanted to see Steer

802
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 12: in one of them spots or the Andrew Hard guy

803
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 12: and one of them spots, you know, in that situation.

804
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 12: But that he didn't set the lineup up that way.

805
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 12: So the guys that were hitting in that spot had

806
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 12: to get the job done and they and they just didn't.

807
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 12: But I just looked at the season as there were

808
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 12: some good things to take away. I think they found

809
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 12: a leadoff hitter, you know, and they were consistent about

810
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 12: Batton freedom leadoff, and I thought that was a good thing.

811
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 12: I think Pegan did a good job as a closer,

812
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 12: being that you coming into the season, he wasn't expected

813
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 12: to be the closer, and I think for the most

814
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 12: part he did a good job, except for when he

815
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 12: had to face the other team's middle of the lineup.

816
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: Uh. So that there was some.

817
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 12: Uh those were a couple of good things over the

818
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 12: season that kind of stood after me. But you know,

819
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 12: what they really needed was a you know, a bad

820
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 12: in the middle of the lineup that the organization still

821
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 12: don't believe they need.

822
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 6: So uh.

823
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 12: I just overall, I just thought they just had an

824
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 12: average season. I mean, eighty wins didn't used to get

825
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 12: you in the playoffs, right, I mean so, and then

826
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 12: the Mets kind of collapsed. So so that's I mean,

827
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 12: that's all I could really say about the season. But

828
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 12: I'll take Frank ConA as a manager over David Bell

829
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 12: any day of the week. But there was some there

830
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 12: was some times where I kind of questioned some of

831
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 12: his decisions, but you know, gotta see what see what

832
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 12: happens next year. So to the rest of the show.

833
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 3: Thank you, Mark, I appreciate that. Yeah.

834
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 4: Also, I didn't expect to be questioning as much from

835
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 4: Francona going into the year as I ended up doing

836
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 4: throughout the year.

837
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 5: I think the thing about Francona is he marries gut

838
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 5: with analytics. If you remember when he was brought to Boston,

839
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 5: the idea around hiring him was he embraced analytics more.

840
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 5: And I think over the course of his career he's

841
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 5: done a really good job of balancing his gut and

842
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 5: the analytics. He also has had some really really good

843
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 5: players in Cleveland and in Boston, especially pitchers Kurt Shilling,

844
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 5: Pedro Martinez, Shane Bieber, Corey Klueber, and then other guys

845
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 5: like Big Poppy Manny Jose Ramirez, like great, great players.

846
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 5: And when you don't have as much talent, and the

847
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 5: Reds don't have as much talent as those Cleveland and

848
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 5: Boston teams that he had, I think you have to

849
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 5: be a little bit more leaning on the analytics.

850
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I there was a point yesterday Austin

851
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 4: that I was even thinking to myself. I know he's

852
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 4: not been great late. Marte was a catalyst down the

853
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 4: stretch for this team, and he didn't start last night.

854
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

855
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 4: Instead it was Austin Hayes who just got back from

856
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 4: being banged up and wasn't available for you a couple

857
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 4: of days ago. Yeah, Marte's not in the lineup. It

858
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 4: just it felt like a lot of moving pieces.

859
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 3: But yeah.

860
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 4: The the decision to run lttel back out in the

861
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 4: fourth and not come back with Lodolo in the six,

862
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 4: to me is uh is unfathomable. Josh is calling him.

863
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 4: What's up, Josh, Tony?

864
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 3: How are you good? How are you good?

865
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 6: Hey?

866
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 14: Recent recent finder of the show.

867
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 6: Loved the show congress in eight years.

868
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 14: Hey Austin, did you used to do a wrestling show

869
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 14: with Taren.

870
00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 3: No Rick.

871
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 14: Hugino.

872
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, well we need to.

873
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 14: Bring that dagg on thing back. No, but you got

874
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 14: your guys shows great. You guys have me saying Mo

875
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 14: who Aaron.

876
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 12: Rodgers might be looking for Mo, But I'm not.

877
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 6: I'm just kidding. I love that guy. Hey, listen, Uh,

878
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 6: I just want to talk about off season checkflist for

879
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 6: the Reds. I mean that the season is what it is.

880
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 14: You've got to feel like we're really close with the

881
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 14: young guys.

882
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 6: We have.

883
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 14: Obviously, you know number number one priorities to try to

884
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 14: get forb to come to town. Sure, some power baths,

885
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 14: maybe one more bullpen arm.

886
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 3: You can never have enough arms.

887
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 6: No, yeah, no never.

888
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 14: I'm trying to get some some of those value signings.

889
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 6: I think one of you was talking about that the

890
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 6: other day.

891
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 14: Just a veteran bat that can come in, you know,

892
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 14: and you know, in a pin hit situauation. You know,

893
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 14: somebody maybe on the later half of their career, you know,

894
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 14: because you don't have to do it within the budget

895
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 14: constraints of this team.

896
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 5: But I say that's the typical move that they would make. Yep,

897
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 5: it's kind of where they are right now. Like an

898
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 5: Andrew Harr or an Austin Hayes. That's the type of

899
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 5: guy they would get.

900
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 14: Are they going to be able to resign Andrew Harr?

901
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 6: Do we know?

902
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 5: I would say I would think they'll try to re

903
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 5: sign both of them. I'm assuming they'll just try to

904
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 5: run it back with the same group.

905
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 14: Absolutely, absolutely, And as far as the Pengles go, that

906
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 14: this thing's over, you're not going to get the front

907
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 14: office to go get a quarterback, and it just looks

908
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 14: like at this point they're playing for a for a

909
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 14: good draft pick. My fear is I would like to

910
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 14: coaching staff to go, but my fear is he's going

911
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 14: to get a pass because Burrow got injured.

912
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

913
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 4: I think that's the one thing that that could potentially

914
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 4: save him. Josh, thank you for the call. We'll talk

915
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 4: about this morning. It's the one thing that I think

916
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 4: potentially could save him. But if they play in the

917
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 4: way they have over the next couple of games, Austin,

918
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 4: they have the next two, I don't think you can wait.

919
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 4: I don't think you can get through the season with

920
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 4: thirteen more games to go. I agree, Dan, real quick

921
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 4: before we get to John, what's up, Hey.

922
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 7: Tony, thanks for the call, first time caller. Thank you,

923
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 7: and I wanted to let you Mo and Austin know

924
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 7: that you're my favorite sports talk show of all of

925
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 7: them during the day.

926
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Thanks Dan.

927
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 7: Let's really really enjoy enjoy the subject and the way

928
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 7: you guys approach everything. Hey, I was calling in regards

929
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 7: to some positive news regarding the Bengals. Okay, I was

930
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 7: looking at PFF's top draft picks possibly for next year.

931
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 7: Twenty four out of the top forty people are on

932
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 7: both offense and defensive lines. You think we could use any.

933
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 8: Of those people?

934
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 3: All right? Now?

935
00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 5: We're talking dank upgrade the trenches, is what you're saying, both.

936
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 7: Sides out and and I'm hoping we do. But the

937
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 7: way things go sometimes they teem to seem to depend

938
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 7: on free agents more than the draft picks. But then again,

939
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 7: my thought is, you know, when a team's going bad,

940
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 7: real bad, who's the first person they go after? Head coach?

941
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 7: And I'm not sure if that's going to happen at

942
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 7: all because of what the gentleman said that he may

943
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 7: get a pass because of Joe's injury, But I don't

944
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,479
Speaker 7: think that's a valid excuse. I think if they head

945
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 7: down the road like they're going now, you need to

946
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 7: change that culture right now, and you need to change

947
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 7: the culture starting with the head coach going right into

948
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 7: that clubhouse. But the one thing that bothers the heck

949
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 7: out of me. Out of all the talk about out

950
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 7: head coach, players, whatever, we haven't heard one word from

951
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 7: Duke Tobin.

952
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 4: Yep, Austin hit on that yesterday. That to me, Dan,

953
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 4: thank you so much for the phone call. We appreciate.

954
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 4: We're up against the hour. Yeah, the Duke Tobin silence

955
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 4: is huge here, Austin, does the Joe Burrow injury give

956
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 4: Zach a free pass in your mind? Not what we think,

957
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 4: what the organization thinks. No, I don't think so either.

958
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 4: There's losing and being competitive, and there's losing like they

959
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 4: have the last two weeks. And when you lose like

960
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 4: that normally, that's a sign that something needs to happen.

961
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 4: From a locker room point of view. John sheeron a

962
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 4: is e Sports suffered through Sunday or Monday night football,

963
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,200
