00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,640

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: a Saint Patrick's Day, Irish pub folk.

23
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: I love it.

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: Celtic instrumental music with the ten whistle and fiddle.

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: The ten whistle and fiddle so throughout the day. Yeah,

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: I think we'll just pop in a little bit to

27
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: the pub. I like this and see how things are going.

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: I see a big rack of guinness being poured over

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: there right now.

30
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: I can do that now, so I know how to

31
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: poor guinness. I'll tell you I had a wonderful guinness

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: over the weekend. I could use another three or four

33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: of them right about now. But we we wrapped to

34
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: be Saint Patrick's. We were wrapped up the parade route

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: on Saturday, and I walked back to the banks and

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: as I get there, my dad has a Guinness waiting

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: for me. Yes, he said, let's oh, let's split the

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: g that's right, Well, well this is this is honest.

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: I felt like I was like halfway through the guinness

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: and I stopped. And I'm because I stopped because legitimately,

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: in my mind I was like, I think I'm past

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: the G. Yeah. I didn't even make a dent in it,

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: not even a dent. Wow. I mean I was inches

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 2: away from the g terrible. How is that possible? I

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: don't know. In my mind I was like, holy cow,

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: I had to really like you had to be taking

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: like tiny little sit yeah. But in my mind I

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: was like, man, this is going down the gullet clean. Well.

49
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: That's the thing about Guinness, and anybody who loves Guinness

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: or drinks it regularly knows it's for me. It's about

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: three and a half to four big gulps, right, and

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 3: you know, obviously you got the big top on it there,

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: the big head, and then you just write down the

54
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: gullete about four of them, don gullet and God rest

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: his soul, and bang, you've got your G.

56
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: Split. It was a guy next to us not only

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: split the g, but he did it in like half

58
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: a second. Yeah, And I was like, I don't know,

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: like I'm blown away. You need more of those type

60
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: of people, and you need those are the type of people,

61
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: especially on a day like today, that you need around you.

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, happy Saint Patti's Day. I'm a big green

63
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: beer guy. I love green beer, love to drink it.

64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: It's a little bit difficult when it's a Tuesday.

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: The Tuesday's is tough, But what about a Tuesday. What

66
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: about a Tuesday or the first four actions starts tonight

67
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: in Dayton.

68
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: Are people going to be watching that because it's not

69
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: like that is the best possible matchups.

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: From what I've seen tonight, you get UMBC who was

71
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: complaining because their flight got delayed versus Howard. But I think,

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: just based off the animosity from Xavier fans I'm seeing

73
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: on social media, I think the atmosphere for the second game,

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: with Texas being there and the ticket price is being reasonable,

75
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 2: I think the atmosphere is going to be really cool.

76
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: I think tonight see I disagree. I think that is

77
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: maybe the most overblown storyline.

78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: Do you think so? I don't think Xavier fans are

79
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: going to your fans going up there, because I do.

80
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: I don't. I do.

81
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: I don't know any Xavier fans going up there to

82
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: boo Sean.

83
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: Let's do this. If you are a Xavier fan today

84
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: and you're going up there, call in or send us

85
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: a tweet and let us know.

86
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: I do see that. It says tickets as low as

87
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: twenty eight Bucks.

88
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: I think they're reasonable, reasonably.

89
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 3: Priced, NC State point and a half favorite. I think

90
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: my issue would be if I were a Xavier fan,

91
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 3: is it doesn't tip until nine to fifteen. Yeah, and

92
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: that's nine to fifteen ish. If because you don't know

93
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: about the first game, maybe it's going to be hostile hectic.

94
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: I don't think it is, though.

95
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's going to be a I

96
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: mean thousands of Xavier fans flocking to ud Irena. If

97
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: you're part of the hostile takeover tonight, let us know

98
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: today in the next three.

99
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 3: Hours, shout out to Howard though. Remember when you see

100
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: almost lost at Howard.

101
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: Yep, they've lost a lot of places they probably had

102
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: no business losing. Now, you remember a couple of years ago,

103
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: UNBC was the first ever sixteen seed to win. They

104
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: were Virginia. They're legends. Yes, the UNBC retrievers can't get

105
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: them a plane to take off on time. Great logo,

106
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: great uniforms.

107
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: I know that they were making fun of the Pittsburgh

108
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: Steelers yesterday. Yes, obviously UNBC is in Baltimore and somebody was,

109
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 3: you know, getting after UNBC about something talking smack on

110
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: the internet or whatever it might have been, and UNBC

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: was like, we understand you don't know much about postseason success.

112
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: It says we earned the right to be in the

113
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: tournament recently by winning multiple playoff games. We understand you

114
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 3: may be unfamiliar with that concept concept due to your

115
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: pro football team in Pittsburgh you support.

116
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: I love it. That tweet has almost a million views.

117
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: I love them dogs barking.

118
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 4: Now.

119
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to root for anybody from Baltimore, but

120
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: NBC particular.

121
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: Case, I'm pulling for him tonight. Hell yeah, what's the worst?

122
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: Howard is? How long is Howard and d C? That's

123
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: a good question you. NBC is a point and a

124
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: half favorite.

125
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: Both of these games a point and a half spread. Oh, okay,

126
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 3: the Howard Bison a little bit juicy. What did the

127
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: Howard Bison play their home games?

128
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it's in Washington, d C. Okay, okay,

129
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: don't don't U. Bird Gymnasium is in Washington, d C. Yeah,

130
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: there you go, speaking of the n C Double A Tournament,

131
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: starting to do you see how I've made it an

132
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: effort this year to say n C Double A or

133
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: n C. I actually was going to bring that I've gone.

134
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: You've done beyond. Yes, you have. You know I'm up

135
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: what I say. Yesterday up a hill without a paddle,

136
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: you did ye, which is not where you want to be,

137
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: No you. I mean you're in a bad spot. If

138
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: you got a paddle up the hill, you're in bad anyway.

139
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: But it brings me to an NC double a tournament question.

140
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: And I asked this every year because I think you

141
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: can tell a lot by a person by how they

142
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: answer this. Okay, how do you go about filling out

143
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: your brackets?

144
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 4: Now?

145
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: I'm old enough that I remember being in school on

146
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: that Thursday, and I remember them wheeling the TV on

147
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: wheels in of course, to set up the college basketball games.

148
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: And I thought, man, this is the pinnacle. There's nothing

149
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: better than today. To come in and I see that

150
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: TV and I know he got college basketball on. Now,

151
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: in today's world, everything's easier. You just get on the internet,

152
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: you click a few buttons, and your bracket is filled out.

153
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: In today's world, I used to go get the newspaper

154
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: and fill out my bracket in the newspaper. But at

155
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: the very least you will find me year in and

156
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: year out, filling out a printable bracket in pen.

157
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: I printed some out. There's some over there in the sales.

Speaker 3: I was doing it before we came on air today.

159
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: How do you fill out your brackets? Because I think

160
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: it tells a lot about a person. Last couple of years,

161
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: I have not filled out a paper bracket. Gosh, that's disgusted.

162
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: But I used to only do the paper back. I

163
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: don't like the newspaper ones. I didn't like the way

164
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: that made my There's just something to writing those names down,

00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: write on the newspaper, but I did for years, print

168

00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,720

Speaker 2: Search and maybe update the big board what is it

231
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: the hot board?

232
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: Some names, I think, whatever you want to UC Coaching Search.

233
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 3: I put a couple of poll questions up to before

234
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: we move on. Are you wearing green today? This is

235
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: on Twitter at Audiowa right now, Little appetizer. Fifty three

236
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: percent say no. I also asked, if you can only

237
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: watch one tonight, what are you watching? The World Baseball

238
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: Classic or the First Four Man? This isn't a world

239
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: in which you only have one television and access to

240
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: one of those two channels, which are you going to choose.

241
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: We're not asking about hockey, We're not asking about the NBA.

242
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 3: I'm not asking about some show that you might watch

243
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 3: on Netflix. I'm saying, in this world for this question,

244
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 3: you can only pick one. Right now, sixty nine percent

245
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 3: say the World Baseball Classic. Au Haneo Suarez and the

246
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: Venezuelan's up against the United States of America. And some

247
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: people are saying Nicholas Maduro is going to throw out

248
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: the first pitch. I don't know if that's true. I'll

249
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: tell you what, president that we took from them or something.

250
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, man, I don't know much about

251
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: what's going on. Watch that last night, and we talked

252
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: about this yesterday. With USA beating the Dominican Republic, you

253
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 3: cannot tell me that this doesn't mean everything for these

254
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: players and the fans. I mean that the Venezuela team

255
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: and the energy at which they were playing with it.

256
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: They genuinely were having a lot of fun playing baseball

257
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: last night. I hated often that it came at the

258
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: expense of Michael Lorenzen. Michael Lorenzen gave up a majority

259
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: of the damage. But as we talked about on this

260
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: show yesterday, Eo Honey Osuarez got things started for Venezuela

261
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: with a home run that place erupted. The scenes are

262
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: amazing at the World Baseball Classic, and it obviously sets

263
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: up tonight one game to win it all for the

264
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: World Baseball Classic title. Venezuela making their first appearance in

265
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: the title game. Obviously Team USA punched their ticket. It

266
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: is an awesome, awesome event, and the players have embraced it,

267
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 3: the crowds have embraced it, and it is quickly becoming

268
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: one of my favorite I would say sporting events when

269
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: you get to it, just based on the crowds. Yeah,

270
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I think a lot of people talk about,

271
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: how gosh, why can't the Miami Marlins, based off the

272
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 3: demographics of that city and the demographics of Major League

273
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: Baseball players, why can't the Miami Marlins get better attendance

274
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: atmosphere at these games? And on paper, it just makes

275
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: so much sense. But it's cool to see the sport

276
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 3: that beloved Miami is the perfect place to have that tournament,

277
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 3: and to see that is really exciting. And a lot

278
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: of pressure on the United States, a lot of pressure

279
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: on Aaron Judge. Would be cool if Aaron Judge showed

280
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: up tonight the captain.

281
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: You know what was interesting and I was thinking this

282
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: and then I saw this today from Jared Carabis on

283
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: social media. He said, watching that game last night and

284
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: watching the World Baseball Classic, I think you could comfortably

285
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: say that it feels the most important this tournament has

286
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: ever felt. And with that revenue attendance numbers, everything is climbing.

287
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: But in the back of your mind, as a baseball fan,

288
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: you have all this momentum for Major League Baseball and

289
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: a lockout is looming. It just feels like baseball is

290
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: going to get in their own way again. Instead of

291
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: capturing and capitalizing on this momentum, we're staring at work stiff.

292
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: It's square in the face. It just it's frustrating, and

293
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: certainly I feel like missing out on what you could

294
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: capitalize on with this World Baseball Classic, well.

295
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're gonna parlay that into this season,

296
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 3: and that's probably what they're most worried about. I mean,

297
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: the issues for next year are the issues for next year,

298
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: and it might settle down because there isn't a World

299
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic, and especially if a team like the Dodgers

300
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: wins again. I mean, I think I can see the

301
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: excitement for baseball going down a little bit. But I

302
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: think they have a huge opportunity for this season to

303
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: maximize that and use that momentum from the World Baseball

304
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: Classic going into this season, and maybe that can help

305
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: clarify some things for them when it comes into negotiations.

306
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't know that I'd be

307
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: too worried about next year and missing the boat when

308
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: you still have a whole season ahead of you.

309
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: Speaking of baseball, quick shout out to UC Baseball. They

310
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: went yesterday to Utall State and they won in a

311
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: eleven to one run rule. You tall, I'm sorry, Utah Valley,

312
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: now Utah State, Utah Valley. They're a veteran team. They

313
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: made the tournament last year and beat Oregon in the tournament.

314
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: They threw some of their best arms, they were rested,

315
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: you see, threw their fifth starter in the game yesterday,

316
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: and they won in a run rule. You see was

317
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: on the road, playing their fourth game in five days.

318
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: Is it is a noteworthy win for this team who

319
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: has picked up a lot of good wins in the

320
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: early part of this season. And as we talk about

321
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: what this team is doing Austin, we've not mentioned it

322
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: on the show yet. How about Quinton Coates? The early

323
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: season in twenty two games, already has fourteen home runs

324
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: in thirty six RBIs is crazy for the Cincinnati Bearcats.

325
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: He's slugging over nine hundred. Unbelievable. His ops is one

326
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: point three.

327
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you want to talk about just lighting

328
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: it up, hitting three fifty five all together. Bearcats have

329
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: a bunch of dudes over three hundred already this season.

330
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 3: I mean offensively, they've just been They are incredible. They

331
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 3: already have a win at top ten ranked Auburn this year.

332
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: They're sixteen and six on the season. They're eight and one.

333
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: The Friendly Confines at home right there in Clifton one

334
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: week from today Crosstown Shootout Baseball Edition Boy between the

335
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 3: Muskies and the Bearcats. That game, I believe is at

336
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 3: Xavier this year come Home, Yes, so, which I think

337
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: if you've never been there, that's a really cool fittle ballpark.

338
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: Both ballparks here lovely are so worth worth going over there.

339
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 2: Shout out to UC Baseball. Saw this yesterday. I have

340
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: not been following along with this a ton, but it

341
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: looks like we're very close to the NBA expanding to

342
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: two more teams.

343
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: I saw this, you know, I had heard some stuff

344
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: about this, but I honestly didn't really look into it.

345
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: I guess it's gonna be Las Vegas and Seattle are

346
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: like the only options the NBA is kind of allowing,

347
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: Is that right?

348
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

349
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: According to Sham's, next week's Board of Governor's meeting will

350
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,479
Speaker 2: include a vote to explore adding Seattle and Las Vegas.

351
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: Franchise is beginning with the twenty eight twenty nine season,

352
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: so might be getting some NBA expansion. Where do you

353
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 2: stand on now?

354
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 3: Apparently if what I've what I read was that if

355
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: Seattle gets an NBA team, the Thunder will give all

356
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 3: of that history back to that franchise. Really, because the

357
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 3: Thunder are formerly the Seattle SuperSonics, Okay, and that's the

358
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: same franchise and same people operating it and all that

359
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 3: it just moved to Oklahoma City. Apparently they're going to

360
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 3: like seed all of that to the new Seattle franchise.

361
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 2: Okay.

362
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: Now, the Ravens did this when the Browns came back,

363
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 3: you know, the new Browns whatever, And a lot of

364
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: people have been saying this, talking about this with Houston

365
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 3: and Tennessee with the Titans, because the Titans have kept

366
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 3: all their history.

367
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: Sure, a lot of people don't know that.

368
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: The Washington Nationals, they still have all the Expo's history,

369
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: the Montreal Expos and if you go to the ballpark

370
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: you can see some of that at Nationals Park.

371
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

372
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 3: I think it's a I think it's an interesting debate.

373
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: I don't love it, but I do understand it. Sure

374
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: if I like if, I just don't know if like

375
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: if the Bengals left and then four years later another

376
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: title comes in, I don't.

377
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: Know if I want that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

378
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

379
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: It's obviously a situation I've never been in as a fan,

380
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 3: but I don't know. I would almost be in it.

381
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 3: I almost want the fresh start.

382
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we will have. We didn't do it yesterday. We're

383
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: gonna have a little bit of a pat noon in

384
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: conversation today. Good morning football. Elier today just did a

385
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: brief overview of six years in the NFL for Joe Burrow.

386
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: How do you best describe those six years? We'll do

387
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: that a little bit today as well. We'll have another

388
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 2: Bengals cap conversation. There has been a trade in the

389
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 2: NFL earlier to and it's significant the Denver Broncos get

390
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: Jalen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins. In return, the Broncos

391
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: are going to get Miami's twenty twenty six fourth round

392
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: pick and Jalen Wattle. But listen to this. The Dolphins

393
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 2: Austin will get Denver's first, third, and fourth in this

394
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: upcoming twenty twenty six NFL Draft. That's quite a haul.

395
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 3: So a fourth round pick swap a first and a

396
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: third for Jalen WoT. Yes, that seems like a price

397
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: like a a pretty high priced has been hurt a

398
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: lot too. Yeah, I mean, he does still have the

399
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 3: ability to stretch the field, and there's some familiarity on

400
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 3: that team with him and Patrick Shirtan having been teammates

401
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: at Alabama. Bo Knicks needs weapons. It feels to me

402
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 3: like a trade by the Denver Broncos to very much

403
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: be like, Okay, we're willing to say FM picks, we

404
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: got a quarterback on a rookie contract. Let's try to

405
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 3: maximize this because we don't know what Patrick Mahome status

406
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: is going to be. The Raiders are still rebuilding, the

407
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: Chargers have question marks. We went to the AFC Championship

408
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: Game last year. Let's try to get right back there.

409
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting move by Denver, interesting in a

410
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: great move for Miami. Miami's clearly reset. I wonder how

411
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 3: Malik Willis feels. Hey, sign you to a big deal. Sorry, tyreeks,

412
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: all your guys are gone. Yeah, we'll see when we

413
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: come back. Phone lines are open today five to one, three, seven, four, nine,

414
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,239
Speaker 3: fifteen thirty. I also want to hear from you if

415
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: you're going to the first for tonight. Strictly to Booshawn Miller,

416
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 3: we'd like to hear from you today as well. Let's

417
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: talk some more baseball when we get back. A little

418
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: preview of tonight Team USA versus Venezuela and what the

419
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: Reds did yesterday, and we need to have a starting

420
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: rotation conversation already. Next on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station,

421
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 3: thanks to Skyline, Chiley.

422
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: Hey, Alexa, what's going on in baseball? No one covers

423
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: the Bengals like ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Sorez

424
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: leaves into it, sends it in the air, deep black field,

425
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: nor into the wall.

426
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 4: Let's go Vennis Lenos on the board, Cino sarees what

427
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 4: a home run?

428
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: Listen to that. I mean, that is the roar in

429
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 2: the ballpark last night when Suarez hit that home run,

430
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: a solo home run on the fourth at the time,

431
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: it cut Italy's deficit in half two to one. And

432
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: then Michael Lorenzen got roughed up for three in the

433
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: seventh and Venezuela goes on to beat Team Italy. And

434
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 2: we're gonna go right into that for little Saint Patti's

435
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: Day special.

436
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 3: You think they're celebrating Saint Patrick down here in Venezuela to.

437
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 2: A hundred ft set. That place was going bonkers. I mean,

438
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: I love this last night scene. This is just kind

439
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: of a cozy little pub. You've got darts, You've got

440
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 2: a fire going. Golly, we need a fire, don't we?

441
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: Man cold out there again? It almost all has gone

442
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: to fire. We kind of buried the lead in the

443
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: first segment. Did you see that that Ohio this morning

444
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 2: was struck by a meteor? Were we really? Yeah?

445
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: You haven't seen this? No, So thank god, finally Cleveland

446
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 3: got hit by a meteor. We've been rooting for this

447
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: for quite some time. This has been like confirmed by

448
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: the National Weather Service in Cleveland that the latest GLM

449
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: imagery suggests that the loud boom felt across the state

450
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: of Ohio, especially Northeast Ohio, was the result of a meteor.

451
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: Wow.

452
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: There are multiple videos out there, most of them from

453
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: dash cams or security cameras, that show a meteor falling

454
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: from the sky in Cleveland and then a loud boom.

455
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 3: And so I've seen a few of these, and I

456
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 3: am always taking everything with a grain of salt, but

457
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 3: I saw this one that I believe that I think

458
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 3: this is true. So this was a like a security

459
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: camera footage of these people's backyards and their dogs are

460
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 3: back there playing, dogs are sniffing around, and the dogs

461
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 3: get spooked by the sound of this meteor hitting the ground.

462
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 3: I'm gonna play this for you. Listen to how loud

463
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 3: this is. Okay, backyard dogs sniffing around here it comes?

464
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: Is that not crazy? The dogs immediately freak out. One

465
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: runs up to the door and like is patting on

466
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 3: the door to try to get inside. The other one

467
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: was like ears, you know, perked back. I retweeted this

468
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 3: as well. But final Cleveland hit by a meteor. Don't

469
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: think that they've ever found like, they haven't found where

470
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 3: exactly or what happened, and maybe it was in the lake.

471
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, but it's somewhere, but it's somewhere. No

472
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: mistaken that the Ohio struck earlier this morning. Unbelievable. Here's

473
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: the craziest part. The Browns just broke ground on their

474
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: new stadium in brook Park. There was a tweet yesterday

475
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 3: or two days ago by somebody saying a meteor is

476
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 3: heading for brook Park. And now people are saying, you know,

477
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: he already knew, but a meteor phone unbelievable in Cleveland.

478
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: I mean, that is an undeniable sound on that video.

479
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: And then the National Weather Service saying that they believe

480
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 3: that's what it was. Wow, I mean, just take a

481
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: listen one more time.

482
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

483
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: Is that not scary as it is? Just any time

484
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 3: anywhere ominous. Yeah, I mean there's nothing you can do.

485
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: That's it. If that's you, it's your time. If you

486
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 3: look it up. I mean, there's a lot of videos

487
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 3: out there. It's just in the fact that it was

488
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 3: in the middle of the day, basically blue sky fireball

489
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 3: falling to the ground and shaking Northeastern That's insane.

490
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

491
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: Eight pm tonight is the World Baseball Classic final. I

492
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: don't know how to talk about that the rest to

493
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: day if you want to. I mean, I didn't realize

494
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 2: on the Venezuela roster they got some studs too, Ronald

495
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 2: Kunr Junior, Luisa Raies and El and Heos Suarez, Glaber, Torres, Wilmer,

496
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: Breu Wilson, Contreres, Jackson Triio is their nine hole hitter. Yeah,

497
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: it gives you a little bit of an idea of

498
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 2: that line up tonight for Team US. I think Nolan

499
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: uh Nolankling is getting to start for Team USA.

500
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 3: He's kind of a nice Irish name to start on St.

501
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 3: Patrick's Day.

502
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, if you say wins tonight, who's the MVP,

503
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Bobby Witt Junior.

504
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 3: Oh, Robert w Witt Jazz. That's a good that's a

505
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 3: good question. I'm gonna give it to Schwarbo in the Middletown. Yeah,

506
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 3: he's gonna hit one like first inning, like at the

507
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 3: three run Jack or something, and then we'll never look

508
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 3: back and it'll hide the fact that Judge was over

509
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 3: four three strikeouts.

510
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: A lot of pressure stuff, but on Team USA because

511
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 2: as a nation, a lot of success lately in sporting events.

512
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if you saw. Over the weekend

513
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 3: we also beat Canada in the Paralympic gold medal game.

514
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 2: Another one.

515
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, which have you heard about this show on Netflix

516
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: called Heated Rivalry? No, well, it's a show. I think

517
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: you would like it. And it's on Netflix. It's called

518
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: Heated Rivalry and it's about it's a hockey show, these

519
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: two hockey players. And I gotta give I gotta give

520
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: credit to Team USA, the Paralympic Team USA account. Before

521
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 3: the game on Sun Day, they tweeted out seated rivalry.

522
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 2: Dang, that's good. You gotta a little bit of fun

523
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: with it. Well done.

524
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 3: I thought that was kind of funny. And then we

525
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 3: whipped him like seven to three or something.

526
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw when USA played Canada in the World

527
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: Baseball Classic that team Canada was wearing hockey jerseys and

528
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, what are you? You lost the game? Yeah,

529
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: you all lost. You're gonna lose again. Yeah, So Team

530
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 2: USA Venezuela at eight o'clock tonight. Let's take a break.

531
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: Let's call so real quick Kyle Nicholas. Last night, who

532
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: the Reds traded for from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Pitched great.

533
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 3: Yeah for Italy when an inning and a third struck

534
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 3: out two perfect baseball.

535
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been away from the team. You get this

536
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: one other thing on the World Baseball Classic, Aaron Judge said,

537
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: quote the World Series, I was in versus the crowd

538
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: here and the bigger on we had against Mexico. It's

539
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: bigger and better than the World Series. I believe that.

540
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: It's insane. I believe that. And as much as Baseball

541
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: gets it wrong, World Baseball Classic is a good part

542
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: of it.

543
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: Shout out to that. Let's talk probably because it's not

544
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: run by Major League may.

545
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: Probably let's talk about what happened with the Reds yesterday.

546
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: And we constantly go back and forth about not overreacting

547
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: to what we see in spring training. Let's just have

548
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: a reaction to what we've seen during spring training. Next

Speaker 2: and before we dive in fully on the field, I

557
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: do want to shout out what Andrew Abbott is going

558
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: off the field. He partnered up Austin with the cince

559
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: He hat by Ted carriss I saw that, and they

00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 2: It's really good, really cool and awesome what Andrew Abbot

565
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: is doing for an awesome cause, which is the Joe

566
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: Nuxsall Foundation. We've had our guy Tyler Branshaw on the

567
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: show before. They do awesome stuff with the Knucksall Foundation,

568
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: So shout out to that. That being said, now I'm

569
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: gonna ask a question about Andrew Abbott on the field

570
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: Austin nine days away from opening day, so not thirty nine,

571
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: not twenty nine. We're under ten days away from opening

572
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: day now, Yeah. And I checked the statistics, I checked

573
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 2: the logs, I looked at the game Vats, and then

574
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 2: I looked at them again and I saw that yesterday

575
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 2: Andrew Abbot lasted three innings and in those three innings,

576
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: he allowed eight hits and eight earned runs while giving

577
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 2: up one home run. Said, okay, bad outing. Working on

578
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: some stuff. Andrew Abbot throughout spring training this year thirteen innings,

579
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: twenty four hits, twenty earned runs. Oh, I get it.

580
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: Don't ever react to spring training. Relax, It's just they're

581
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: just working on stuff. You're under ten days away. How

582
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: many more opportunities does Andrew abbit have to get on

583
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 2: a mound before he's on the mound on opening Day? Yeah? One? Right,

584
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 2: So is it fair to be a little concerned or

585
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: have a little bit of a conversation about what we've

586
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: seen from Andrew Abbot. I think we can open up

587
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: this conversation a little bit more to the starting pitch

588
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: as a whole. Yeah.

589
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: I mean with Abbott specifically, he's given up a home

590
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: run every single time he's taken them out, gave up

591
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: a homer to the Royals, to the A's, to the Giants,

592
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: to the Brewers, to the d Backs. I mean, he

593
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: hasn't had a scoreless outing in spring training. Dudes are

594
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 3: hitting four point thirty one off of him in his

595
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: last four starts. Yeah, he's not missing bats, and yesterday

596
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: he really couldn't throw strikes very much. He had the

597
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: three walks in that game. He had two walks in

598
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 3: the game before that. I don't know if I should

599
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 3: be worried about Andrew Rabbit because I feel like we

600
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 3: should always take everything in spring with a greenish salt.

601
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: But like those numbers jump off the screen. Yeah, and

602
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: again he's He's led the Reds and Indians. Pitched in

603
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 2: the spring was thirteen Nicolodolo nine innings, has given up

604
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: seven earned runs. You'll probably pitched tonight. He's gonna get

605
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: another opportunity. But when you look at the rotation as is,

606
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: and we talked about this Austin when the Hunter Green

607
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 2: news came down, it immediately puts a lot of pressure

608
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: on the other starters one to be good and two

609
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: your margin for air on missing starts it shrinks by

610
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: a large margin. And now on the back end of this,

611
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 2: we're having a conversation and again we'll get clarification from

612
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 2: Charlie Goldsmith on Thursday, and we'll talk to maybe Joe

613
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: Daniman about this as well. But there's a little now

614
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 2: uneasiness in questioning around Chase Burns, so down Hunter Green

615
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: until July. A little uneasiness around Chase Burns. Andrew Abbat

616
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: your opening day starter and has given up twenty runs

617
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: and thirteen innings over the course of the spring. This

618
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: is the strength of this team, right. They didn't have

619
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: to address a ton of bats because the pitch is

620
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: so good and the depth of the pitching staff can

621
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: carry this team. They added a guy that hit forty

622
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: nine home runs. I get it any Janio Suarez, but

623
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: are we uneasy with what we've seen through spring as

624
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 2: we're now nine days away? Yeah?

625
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: I mean if we were talking about Brandon Williamson instead

626
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 3: of or if we're talking about Andrew Abbott and you

627
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: plugged in Brandon Williamson's stats, like you'd feel great. Gave

628
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 3: up a couple of runs his first time out, has

629
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 3: thrown eight score listenings nine score listenings since then, hasn't

630
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: given up any homers, has only walked two guys in

631
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 3: the last three starts. Like, that's what you would expect

632
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 3: out of Andrew Abbott's an interjectory, it's Brandon Williamson, who

633
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 3: is making a legitimate case to be in this starting rotation,

634
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 3: and I think the Red should seriously consider that, and

635
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 3: maybe they are.

636
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: And the way the.

637
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 3: Whole Chase Burns thing is going on just it just

638
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 3: seems a little bit weird and I don't know exactly

639
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: what the truth is. And you know, the rotation in

640
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: his shoulder or a d load or they're still ramping

641
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 3: him up or the routine, like there's just some cloudiness

642
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 3: around that. Reet Louder has been fine, but that's a

643
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 3: guy who didn't play at all in the big leagues

644
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 3: last year. Same with Williamson and Brady Singer. I feel

645
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: like is maybe the least talked about dude in all

646
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 3: same training.

647
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: I feel like we've talked about him once and it

648
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: was a day where we read the lineup and he started.

649
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 2: Outside of that, not another word about Brady Singer and

650
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 2: he's pitched.

651
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: He was awesome last year. It was really good. The bullpen,

652
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 3: by the way, oh not great either. What about Graham

653
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 3: so like he existed? Like the thing that we thought

654
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: was going to be their biggest strength hasn't been very good.

655
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 3: And the thing we thought was going to be their

656
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 3: biggest weakness Matt McLean has you know, had me looking

657
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 3: at him in l MVP odds.

658
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 2: Again it's weird.

659
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah again. It also feels like Ellie's having a quiet spring.

660
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel again and again this happens all the

661
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 2: time because no matter what we do, if we ignore it,

662
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: it's well, you're ignoring it an issue. If you talk

663
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 2: about it, well, it's just spring training. It's a lose

664
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: lose I get it. But for the purpose of what

665
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: we're doing on a daily basis and being nine days

666
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 2: away from opening day, is it not a part of

667
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 2: a conversation that has to be happening. By the way,

668
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 2: Elie de la Cruz thirty four at bats in the spring,

669
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: he's hitting two ninety four. Like you mentioned it, Fine,

670
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 2: he's a quiet two ninety four. But it's also been

671
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 2: weird without Suarez being there. Yeah, it's Suarez has been weird.

672
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: Another player. I feel like we haven't talked a ton

673
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: about Spencer Steer. I think he's like trending up one's

674
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 2: seventy six over the course of thirty four at bats.

675
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: Is he playing any outfield, yes, so you're getting more

676
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 2: starts in the outfield. He is he's gotten some more

677
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: outfield opportunities. So again, it's not overreacting. I get it.

678
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 2: You're you're constantly working on things, but to the point

679
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: of Andrew Abbit will have one more start to ramp

680
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: up before the Red Sox are here on opening day.

681
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: If you're Andrew Abbit mentally, don't you just want to

682
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: see a clean slate. You're gonna go into opening day

683
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 2: not having one clean slate throughout the spring. Yeah, I

684
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 2: think that's important. By the way. Shout out to Garrett

685
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 2: hampsonen we mentioned him yesterday. He went deep. He went deep,

686
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 2: brought his average up to zero nine to four. Yeah,

687
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 2: shout out to Garrett Hampson for listening. We'll take a break.

688
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: I just don't know what the We're not trying to overreact,

689
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 2: We're not trying to panic.

690
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 3: Like I've never really had high expectations for them. I

691
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 3: think I've always said, like eighty five wins would be

692
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 3: their ceiling, just because I don't trust their offense until

693
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 3: I see it. And I felt really good about the

694
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 3: pitching staff. But I don't feel that way anymore, especially

695
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: with Hunter being out. The inconsistencies the young starters we've

696
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: seen in spring Ilio Pagan and Tony Santien han't quite

697
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 3: looked like themselves. Graham Ashcraft keeps walking dudes, like there's

698
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 3: spots up for grabs. I just wonder if they are

699
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: a team that can get out of their own way

700
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 3: and ahead. Last year, I think we all agree that

701
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 3: the ceiling is very high. Yeah it's the roof, but right,

702
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 3: what ceiling is the roof? Thanks Mike Jordan, what's the floor?

703
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 2: Though? Yeah, it's definitely a conversation. It's something to watch,

704
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: not freak out about yet, but it's on a high alert.

705
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 3: I asked somebody yesterday who was in Goodyear. Should I

706
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 3: be worried about Andrew Abbott? And they said, no, I

707
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 3: don't think so. Okay, he's healthy, there's no issues with

708
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 3: his health. The weird part is that there's not necessarily

709
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 3: a theme to what has led to his struggles. Like

710
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: it's not that he can't throw strikes. It's not that

711
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 3: he you know, is missing with his curve ball, like

712
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 3: it's something different every time, which that made me actually

713
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 3: freak out a little bit more. It's like, okay, so

714
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 3: everything's bad, instead of just one thing that he's working

715
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,479
Speaker 3: on or struggling with. So you don't really know until

716
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 3: the season starts, and guys are different and the ball

717
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: is different in the atmosphere in the stadium, and you know,

718
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 3: Cowboy talks all the time about that third deck when

719
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 3: you come into a big league ballpark.

720
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see, we'll take a break. We'll finish

721
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 2: up the hour with a phone call or to next five, one, three, seven, four, nine,

722
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. We'll talk to Joe Daniman at the top

723
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: of our number two on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.

724
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: On Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

725
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 2: Welcome back sincey three sixty Happy Saint Patti's Day, Thanks

726
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 2: for listening. On ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Quick

727
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: question on the World Baseball Classic Austin. I was going

728
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 2: to ask you if you ever found a four leaf clover.

729
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: I've not okay, what you got, have you? I don't

730
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 2: think so Suarez with Venezuela playing against Team USA. Yeah,

731
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 2: root for Team USA and hope Suarez goes deep five

732
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: to two USA win because you still want to do well.

733
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the guy, but I'm against him. No,

734
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: I don't want him to go deep at all, all right,

735
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 3: what if it's like eight, like he gets a solo shot.

736
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 3: I'd like for him to go oh for eight with

737
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 3: eight strikings.

738
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: Okay, and then we'll have the question about hez being

739
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: ready for opening Day. Yeah, as Garrett Crochet on the Man,

740
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 2: as David the arm Brewster likes to say, I root

741
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 2: for me. Okay, Well said, that would be some content.

742
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 2: Well said, Uh, what's up, Mike, how are you?

743
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 4: Hey? Thanks guys, happy Saint Patrick's digg you too, especially

744
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 4: you Grand Marshall about that. I think it's cool as

745
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 4: heck Tony. It was. It was very cool.

746
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 2: Yes, enjoyed it. I think as much fun as I had,

747
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 2: I think the kids had probably twice as much fun.

748
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 4: Oh see, that's why I wanted to ask you. Did

749
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 4: the kids get to go that? Yeah, they're looking at daddy. Oh,

750
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 4: my dad's a big shot. Yeah.

751
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 2: They got to ride in the car, so they were.

752
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: They were all pumped up and happy.

753
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 4: Oh man, that they'll never forget that. Dude, that is

754
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 4: so awesome. I'm happy to hear. You made my day

755
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 4: with that. You want to trade the Red stud young

756
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 4: pitching staff for the Dodgers Veterans old men pitching staff? Oh?

757
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 4: Right right now.

758
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 2: Man, It's just it's it's again. You you you. You

759
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: understand in the back of your mind that it is

760
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 2: spring training. But as the the opening day date gets closer,

761
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 2: the thought I had as you kind of ramp up

762
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: to this, I just don't see them ramping up in

763
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: the right way right now from a pitching standpoint.

764
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 4: No, I don't either. But so many times I thought

765
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 4: the same thing over my life and then they come

766
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 4: out and next thing you know, they have the seven

767
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 4: and one with a one point nine to two e R.

768
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 4: But he does need to get rid of that beer belly.

769
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 4: I don't know what. I don't know what's up with that.

770
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 4: You know, I don't even want to go there. That's

771
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 4: not fair. Hey, I'll tell you what. Now with the bracketology,

772
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 4: watch out for Mixed Team. Mix got his co best

773
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 4: player back now playing well and uh and with the

774
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 4: way he coaches defense, watch out for UCLA. Now they're

775
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 4: gonna I'm not I would not be shocked. Yeah, I

776
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 4: know they're going to get through the first round. I'm

777
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 4: pretty sure. But Mixed Team will be ready to go,

778
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 4: that's for sure. Yeah.

779
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: I feel like too, that second round matchup where you

780
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 2: get Mick Cronin and Dan Hurley on the sideline together

781
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 2: could be amazing.

782
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be a lot of fun, wouldn't it.

783
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 4: One thing about that Saint John's team is they look

784
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 4: like they're all nil guys. They look like NBA guys.

785
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 4: That front line. Those are big, tough, burly men. Many

786
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 4: they kind of make a lot of the young guys

787
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 4: look a little bit slight, if you will.

788
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, with with Hopkins edge of four and Dylan Mitchell,

789
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 2: they are a formidable front court.

790
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 4: They really are. And I'm just glad Miami got in.

791
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 4: I don't care how they got in, just so they

792
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 4: got in. I know everybody's squabbling about it, but they're

793
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 4: in and that's all them. Then they got an eleven seat.

794
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 4: So I think that playing moniker is kind of meaning

795
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 4: and kind of stupid. I don't even know why they but.

796
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: We've seen teams that can can win one of those

797
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 2: games and get a little momentum going into the rest

798
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 2: of the field.

799
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know that league that Santa Clara is in,

800
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 4: they got those three coaches. I don't know if I

801
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 4: told you about this, but they got Mark Few, Randy

802
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 4: but Randy the Bennett uh and then Herb Sendek and

803
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 4: all three of those guys you have over five hundred wins.

804
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 2: Ye's been awesome as well.

805
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 4: So they're really good coaches. A Cuff for CALIPARTI, you know,

806
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 4: Calipari may be the greatest developer of guards I've ever

807
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 4: seen in my life.

808
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 2: And there's a conversation that Acuff might be the best

809
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 2: he's had. He's that good.

810
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 4: He is Tony, he agreed, and he doesn't care if

811
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 4: this is He just keeps doing what he's doing.

812
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 2: He's going to keep attacking.

813
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 4: The one seed that really bothers me is Virginia. I mean,

814
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 4: they gave Virginia a three seed and I just I

815
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 4: don't get it, do you?

816
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: No, It's it's hard. I don't think the ACC is

817
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 2: very good at all this year, So I'm not I'm

818
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: not huge on the ACC, but I don't know. A

819
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 2: lot of the seating confuses me. But you kind of

820
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 2: move on and normally the good thing with the tournament,

821
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: it sorts itself out.

822
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

823
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 4: I think Florida almost may be laid down a little

824
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 4: bit when they lost that Vanderbilt game because they might

825
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 4: have been thinking they were tired. You should I shouldn't

826
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 4: say that, But anyway, you guys got to go. Thanks Mike,
