You have been to 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:07.400 Dodger Stadium. Yes, yes, see now obviously Jason was there. 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:09.960 The best that is on my bucket list. That's a 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.480 one ballpark I've always wanted to go to. You guys, 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.160 tell me is it worth a trip? 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:15.679 Yeah? 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.400 I mean it's it's it's history. I mean, the one 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.400 ballpark I haven't been to that I can't believe I 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.160 have been to a Sunway Park. That's the one that 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.039 I still have never gotten a chance to cover a 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:26.120 game or go watch a game in. 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.160 Yeah, I've been there a couple of times. It's yeah, 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.119 it's it's as cool as you think it might being. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.800 So I think I've been telling my son, my older 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.080 son read this like, I was like, we're going to 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.080 We've been doing these baseball stadium tours and Dodger Stadium 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.320 is the number one, because, in my mind, Dodger Stadium 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.679 is the absolute best ballpark in baseball to watch a game, 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.600 the whole. It's just it's unique. It's unlike any place 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:54.480 else in baseball. The landscaping, the lush landscaping, this place 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.360 still looks like brand new when it opened in nineteen 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:58.080 sixty two. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.800 And the way they keep that place ballpark. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.000 Yeah, I mean it's an old ballpark and you could eat. 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.600 Off the floor, off the concourse floor, that's how clean. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.760 Let me ask you, isn't it kind of a pain? 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.280 And they asked to get in an out there. 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.720 It can be. I mean, if you're working, like Jason was, 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.120 the parking is going to all be gone by the 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.600 time you're done with your work. So as a fan, yes, 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.800 but if you're working it not so much just because. 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.400 You're done working. Yeah, exactly. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.079 So it was skinny. Let's talk about what happened out 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:33.280 in La I heard Willie talking with Seg and Rocky 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.839 and I talked about it later or yeah, yesterday, and 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:41.440 Jason and I have talked about it. It's just what 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.079 needs to happen. We a, you need some clutch hitting 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.919 and things need the chess pieces need to be moved around. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.200 Yes, I wrote a red column today and it kind 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.160 of mimiced I think Jason's column. I didn't mean it too, 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:55.920 but it's it's pretty much the story of what you 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.560 need to do in this off to you and that 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:58.920 you got to hit a big bat in the middle 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.359 of lineup. You know. Ellie de la Cruz led this 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.919 team in home runs this year with twenty two. Only 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.400 one other guy on the team hit more than sixteen 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.800 home runs, that with Spencer Steeer. So you need a 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.880 big bat in the lineup where you put that big back. 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.079 I don't know, but you just need to go get one. 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.840 And I think that will help Ellie. I think that 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.320 will help add the Ellie's production. You just here's the 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.400 thing you can't do. You just can't bring the band 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.600 back and go these guys are going to be better 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.160 just because if they are better, great, If Matt mcains 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.240 is the Matt mclan's twenty twenty three, great, but I 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.359 can't count on it. If Ellie La Cruz suddenly becomes 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.120 the forty home run guy, I think we all projected great, 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.720 but right now I can't count on it. If Noble 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.320 Marte hits like you did in July and August, great, 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.000 but I can't count on it. So I think the 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:41.360 bottom liyes, go get a big bat. 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.240 I totally agree with you. However, however way you do that. 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.560 I mean you think back at the Reds and I 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.520 you know you can't do the whole get the band 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.880 back together. You can't look at this and say, oh, 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.320 you know it's the first it's the first step. Yeah, 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.360 you know that this same core team will get there. 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.920 That's pretty that's kind of a bank attitude, to be 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:01.480 honest with you. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:04.800 To me, you're right. 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.200 I think however, way they're going to do that, you know, 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.560 whether that's to go out. You know, think about the 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.000 Joey Vada They never spent the Joey Vado money. Really, 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.240 I mean, the Joey Vado money got off the books. 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.960 And you know, the only the only guy, the only 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:18.640 guy who made it. 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.440 Nick Martinez money. He's made out. 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.159 He was the only guy who made what eight figures 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:28.280 this year, I believe. And so even to like, if 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:32.000 you trade Hunter Green, that frees up some money, uh, 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.320 you know, and then do you get prospects for him 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.240 and maybe a veteran you know, four or five pitcher 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.279 and then use some of that money to go out 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.679 and free agency. It is going to be hard and uh, 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.039 you know, the front office is kind of and there's 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.400 been discussions, you know, with reporters and stuff that it 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.280 is going to be hard for them to go, oh, 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.200 you know what, we'll trade Hunter Green for some big 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.880 bat that that's going to be tough to do. 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:54.960 Uh. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.880 But there's a lot there's a lot of things that 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.599 need to be done here and you know, and Brandtley 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.200 talked about out of how there's got to be some 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.800 big changes and it's not just getting that bad, it's 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.000 it's some of these other things that you got to 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.200 kind of maneuver around. What are you gonna do with Ellie? 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:09.960 And we could go on and on here. 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.160 Yeah, what are you gonna do with south Stewart? 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:13.200 Where is he gonna play bingo? 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:13.839 Exactly? 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.240 Are you going to bring some competition in for for 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.719 Matt McClain? Can you carry key Brian Hayes' back? You 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.320 know every day one? 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:21.760 Right there? 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.440 I think no one's really talking about. 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.920 But like you're like, okay, if you're trying to figure 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.880 out if Spencer Steer, who's waterline gold glove at first base? 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:31.159 Uh? 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.320 You know, and you want to play South Stewart with 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.279 his bat every every day? Like where does Keith Brian 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.799 Hayes really fit in? They like him obviously fits that whole, 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.800 you know, defense and pitching philosophy, but wolf on that 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:44.719 on that bat, I was. 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.240 Gonna say, what are you going to carry a huge 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.279 twenty hitter? You know they got too many? 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:49.640 Right? 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:51.280 Yeah, you only got a couple of them. Okay, you 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.400 know he's didn't find it number nine. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.960 So Skinny, let's just switch gears here and talk about 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.880 our Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, the Lions coming to town. 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.040 What kind of hope do is there for this game? 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.200 What would you Let's face it, I don't think they're 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.599 going to beat the Detroit Lions. I mean, I'll just 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.200 let's come out and say it right there. What would 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.200 you like to see happen though. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:24.320 The offense executed a higher level. I mean, listen, I 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.520 know everybody's pointing the finger Jake Browning at the moment. 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:27.000 That's fine. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.520 He hasn't played very well. Let's not forget Joe Burrow 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.560 played the full game in the opener, and they had 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.760 one hundred and forty one yards total offense with Joe Burrow. 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.159 So this to me is an offense issue. This isn't 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.440 just a Jake Browning issue. They don't block very well, 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.920 they don't run very well. I don't think they've schemed 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.000 Jake properly. I think they've been way too tentative with 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.920 him and too cautious with him. So yeah, I'd like 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.960 to see the offense execute better. I don't think the 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.680 defense stops Detroit, so I to your point, I don't 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.040 think they beat Detroit either, but I want to see 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:56.919 the offense execute at a higher level. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.520 Is it a half point difference. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:03.919 With the Lions there, you. 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:08.120 Know that's a big spread in the NFL. I mean, 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.400 I would, I know everybody can just look at all 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.240 this will be an easy Lions game. It's the NFL. Man. 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.440 Last night, you know, the Lams were an eight and 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.960 a half point favorite at home over a wounded San Francisco team, 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:20.720 and San Francisco went in there and beat them. So 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.040 strange things happen in this league sometimes. You know, the 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.000 Minnesota game, you had three plays, three plays out of 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.240 four were turnovers. Just sometimes things happen, especially on the 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.520 road in the NFL. It's a great team. I think 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.320 Detroyd's super. They got everything they got. They got great 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.160 pass rush, they got great defense, they got getting stopped 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.040 the run. They got a great running game, and they 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.000 got great play action passing off the off the running game. 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.160 They got deep threats everywhere, got great offensive line there. 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.120 Coaching, coaching, yes. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.960 Skinny, when you going back to that offense, is it is. 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:54.960 It a scheme thing? So coaching? 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.040 Is it a execution thing from the players? Is it 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:03.120 a talent lack of you know, all of the above. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:04.800 What do you kind of. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.840 I think it. Yeah, I think a little all the above. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.440 I mean, look, you signed Orlando Brown when he's a 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.360 Pro Bowl caliber player. He's not that. 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:13.080 Player any longer. 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:14.720 I don't know that the injury from last year has 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.600 taken that away from him. Ted Carris is a he's 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.920 an okay center. I mean, he's never been anything great, 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.800 but he's an okay and he looks like he's kind 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.560 of aging before our eyes. And let's not forget you. 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:25.360 Got two rookie guards. 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.240 I'm starting two rookie guards, and your right tack ma 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.920 Marius Mims is actually kind of regressed. Now. Could that 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.120 be the new offensive line coach Scott Peters being a failure? Maybe? 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.360 I certainly haven't seen progress from ma Marius Mims. I 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.400 haven't seen this group get better. I've seen them regress. 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.679 And again, is that guy's individually aging or in some 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.839 cases being too young because they haven't seen enough in 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.680 the face of the two rookie guards, or is it 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.800 just straight out coaching. I don't know the answer to that. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.240 We're talking to Richard Skinner Local twelve and guys, well 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.960 both of you, and let's talk about the quarterback situation. Skeinny, 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.240 you just said, you know, it's not Jake Browning's fault, 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.520 and it's and it's well, obviously some of it is, 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.679 but to a great guy is it is not? But 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.080 let's talk about if he lays a giant egg this Sunday. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.000 Look at what happened in Cleveland. They're playing in London, 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:24.240 starting a rookie quarterback over over Flacco. When is enoughing 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.040 enough here in town? And who takes Jake Browning's place 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:29.480 if it indeed does come to. 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.400 That, I just don't think there is that guy. I know, 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.600 Wilson Fine for Jameis Winston, it will be the backup 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.840 Brett Rippon. Brett Rippon is a practice squad caliber quarterback, 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.120 is a backup at the moment. By the fault, I 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:43.960 don't think there is one. 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:44.520 I just don't. 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.720 I mean, it's it's you got to ride with Jake Browning. 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.120 You know, I asked Jake Dodani's press conference, you know 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.160 what's the difference between right now with the offense and 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:53.959 when it was in twenty twenty three when he was 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.240 playing really well in No. Seven starts? And he didn't 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.080 give me a great answer. He said, well, the one 0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:59.800 game in the screen game and maybe that's what it is. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.280 They haven't run the ball, and I think Jake strengths 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.120 are not staying in the shotgun like Joe Burrow in 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.480 processing things. I think Jake strengths are getting under center 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.400 play action bootlegs. Well, guess what doesn't work? Guess from 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.480 play action and boot legs don't work. They don't work 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.480 when you can't run the ball. So you're kicking that 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.560 away from him. So I think, again, Jake does not 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.320 play well. You know, he made a couple of bad 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.959 deep throws Monday night that he should have connected on it, 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.000 and he didn't. So again, I don't want to absolve 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.720 him a blame, but listen, that's the whole operation at 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.199 the moment, and I think it honestly starts with the 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:28.640 run game. 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.760 All right, with that skinny, we will let you go, buddy, 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.079 what's going on this weekend as far as as high 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.000 school football goes? Any good games? 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:38.320 Oh? 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.679 I got? Oh, yes, you had Moller Elder tonight at 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.720 the pit. You got Cubcats Highlands tonight over in Northern Kentucky. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.400 You got Anderson Turpin, the neighborhood rivalry. Anderson's having a 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.880 great season. Turpin's actually having a very nice season. Yeah, 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.199 there's some good games all over town across the river 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:54.040 in northern Kentucky too. 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:58.760 Week seven, right, Week seven, All right, buddy, thanks so 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:06.240 much our good friend Richard Skinner Local twelve. And yeah, 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.040 that's what nobody, nobody's talking about. That's the elephant in 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.080 the room there. As far as the Bengals quarterback issue goes, 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.600 it's Browning or nothing pretty much, right. 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.840 I've always thought that, and now I know fans are 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.600 going to be fans, and but I mean, Russell Wilson, 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.600 Jameis Winston, those guys aren't any better than Jake Browning. 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.120 And then it's it's look, these problems are much much 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:32.360 deeper than Jake Browning. 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.080 Well, it doesn't matter who's standing. 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.280 Behind that line. Bingo, right boom. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.800 With that, we check in with traffic and weather, what 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.920 is going on?

We 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.719 did what you did and rented a car. We had 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.359 an afternoon free. We rented a car and went out 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:50.040 driving around. We drove out to Malibu. Yeah, I think 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.199 we went down to Venice Beach and walked around and 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.240 liked at all that goofiness. But yeah, that was about 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.160 the site. It's just something to see, you know. It's weird, 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.360 but it's yeah, it really is different. 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.160 And where I was going, it's not that far from 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.599 Dodger Stadium, although you know, with traffic it takes you 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:10.720 a while to get there. But so so a couple 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:15.080 of things. I am fast. I was just fascinated with 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.240 the o json I for what And I know I'm 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.920 not alone in that, but everything it's ever been done, 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:25.320 documentary wise, shows, anything I've ever I watched. I've read 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.320 books on it, and I'm not a tip I'm not 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.360 I'm not a huge book reader, but I've read like 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:35.400 Christopher Darden's book and yeah, it's like, uh and so 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:40.400 I'm you know, I just whatever was at Wednesday. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.480 Maybe I was like, I'm gonna get out. 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.720 I gotta get out, and just kind of you know, 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:48.360 it's late night games.
