1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: Fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's sports station. Hi, Hello, welcome in. It's

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: a Monday afternoon.

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: It's The Moegar Show on ESPN fifteen thirty, and I

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: am not Moegar. My name is Austin Elmore. With you

5
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: until six o'clock this evening. Normally I'm heard alongside Tony

6
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 2: Pike for Tony Pike since e three sixty from noon

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 2: to three. But today with the Eggman out, the Otman

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: is in and I'm happy to be here. We've got

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 2: a lot to talk about, a very very busy weekend

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: in the sports world and certainly in the city of Cincinnati.

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: We'll talk extensively about the Reds starting the season with

12
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: a series win, doing so over the Boston Red Sox

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: at Great American Ballpark. They welcome in now their first

14
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: NL Central opponents of the season, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Tonight.

15
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that, including Chase Burns up against Braxton Ashcraft,

16
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: a couple of young fireballers going at it at GABP. Tonight.

17
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: We'll also talk about what happened yesterday in the NCUBLEA Tournament.

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: The final four is set. It is Yukon, Illinois, Michigan,

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: and Arizona and Yukon did it in the most thrilling

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: fashion you could possibly do it a I guess it's

21
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: technically a buzzer beater, not really because there was like

22
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: three tenths of a second, but it was a ridiculous

23
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: moment to come back from down nineteen points to beat

24
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: the Duke Blue Devils. A freshman nails it and it

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: immediately becomes one of the most iconic shots in NC

26
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: DOUBLEA Tournament history. At four twenty today, we'll talk to

27
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: Paul Fritzner. He's the host of the Rebound Rundown podcast,

28
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: Great College Basketball podcast and somebody who's tapped in to

29
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: all things college hoops, including I want to ask Paul

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: about Jared Calhoun and his hiring by Cincinnati. It's been

31
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: cool to see Jared Calhoun like everywhere. I heard him

32
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: doing commercials for UCEE. On Opening Day down the Hall,

33
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 2: I heard him, I saw him in the opening day parade.

34
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: He has wasted no time acclimating himself to the city

35
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. Once again, that's been cool to see. We'll

36
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: talk to Paul about that, and we will go down

37
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: to Great American Ballpark and talk to Pat Brennan covering

38
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: the Reds for the Inquirer. Get his thoughts on what

39
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: happened over the weekend. I have a few questions about

40
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: what the Reds plan might be in the bullpen, what

41
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: the plan might be with Noel vi Marte, who is

42
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: not playing again tonight. There are some questions that need

43
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: to be asked. And I'll tell you one of the

44
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: big stories we've got to talk about as well is

45
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: ABS that game Saturday win an extra innings. They were

46
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: perfect in their ball strike challenges of C. B. Buckner,

47
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: and that was one of the most entertaining baseball games

48
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: I can ever remember watching. First of all, there was

49
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: some good pitching, there was some good hitting. The electric

50
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: nature of those ABS challenges inside that stadium with forty

51
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: thousand people there was so fun to watch. And the Reds,

52
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: despite Emilio Pagan blowing a save, the Reds rally to

53
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: win in extra innings thanks to a Dane Meyer's single

54
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: and a Dane Meyer's single off of a right handed pitcher,

55
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: which that's not the reason why the Reds signed him.

56
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: And then, of course there was yesterday, and you realize

57
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 2: very quickly why the Reds signed au Haaneo Suarez back

58
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: to Cincinnati. The three run blast from Suarez gives the

59
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: Reds the lead. They hold on thanks to Tony Santin,

60
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: thanks to Amelio Pagan, they find a way to win

61
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: and to win that series. And I think back to

62
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: the offseason. I think back to the pursuit of Kyle Schwarber,

63
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: which then pivots to the pursuit of a Uhanio Suarez

64
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: and the return of Suarez and going beyond budget and

65
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: investing in the bullpen and doing all the things that

66
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: we needed and asked and wanted the Reds to do

67
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: that were indicative of a team that is trying to win,

68
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: that is trying to maximize their window. Now, I think

69
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: most people would agree that the Reds left some meat

70
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: on the bone. There was more that they could have

71
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: done this offseason, but they addressed their issues. They flipped

72
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: their bullpen, they got more power. They need production from

73
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: young players like Matt McLain and from people like Sal Stewart,

74
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: and we're gonna get the Sal Stuart who might just

75
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: be the hitter in baseball as of this very moment.

76
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: So I think back though to the acquisition of Auhanio Suarez,

77
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: and I think back to how many times we would

78
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: watch a Reds game last season and it would be

79
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: that they just didn't get that hit with runners in

80
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: scoring position, that they lost that one run game, that

81
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: they couldn't move that runner over, that they couldn't get

82
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: the sacrifice fly. And it was so many times that

83
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: they would lose a close game and it would be

84
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: because they just couldn't get that one hit that would

85
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: clear the bases. And they so desperately needed and I

86
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: said it time and time and time again last year,

87
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: they just need a dude who can hit the ball

88
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: out of the ballpark on a day when the offense

89
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: isn't doing very much and in an inning when you

90
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: happen to get two guys on, can somebody hit the

91
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 2: ball over the fence and instead of having to string

92
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: together two and three and four hits, instead you get

93
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: one hit and get those three runs. Yesterday was the

94
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: perfect example of why they needed and got au Hanio Suarez.

95
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, there were times on Thursday, on Opening Day,

96
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: for moments on Saturday and definitely on Sunday where you're

97
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: sitting here thinking are we just watching the same team

98
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: over and over and over again that we watched over

99
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: and over and over again. Last year, that's certainly what

100
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 2: it felt like. And multiple times Thursday, multiple times, Saturday,

101
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: multiple times Sunday, au Haineo Suarez came to the plate

102
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: with an opportunity to do damage, and finally on Sunday

103
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: he did. And I just can't help but think how

104
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: many times is that going to happen over the course

105
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: of the season. Now, there are going to be times,

106
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: like we've saw seen early on in the season, where

107
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: he does strike out, he doesn't get the run in,

108
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: he does hit one to the warning track that doesn't

109
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: make it over the wall. There are gonna be times

110
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: where he leaves runners on base and he strikes out.

111
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: And that's something that we're going to have to live

112
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: with because on the flip side of that coin is

113
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: the ability to hit one four hundred and thirty feet

114
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: into the second deck like he did yesterday, And just

115
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: that threat of au Hanio Suarez in that lineup is

116
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: going to do wonders for this team Offensively. You couple

117
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: that with a strong start from Matt McClain and inn

118
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: just a red hot, smoking inferno start from Sal Stewart,

119
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: and you start to realize how the Reds lineup can prevent,

120
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: can present some problems to opposing pitchers. Now, Elie de

121
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: la Cruz has not had a strong start. He does

122
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: have the homer, has a couple of hits. Teams are

123
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: pitching him back where at the moment there are early

124
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: count off speed pitches and breaking pitches that Ellie needs

125
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: to do a better job of crushing and getting the

126
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: bat on. They're pitching him backwards and sneaking those heaters

127
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: by him late in account, Ellie needs to make some

128
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: adjustments early. But it is early. And I don't know

129
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: how you look at what happened this weekend and not

130
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: be thrilled about the possibility of what this team can

131
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: do offensively. And that's not really counting Ellie de la Cruz,

132
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: And you haven't gotten anything from Noel Vie Marte, and

133
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: you haven't gotten much from Spencer Steer. The catching position

134
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 2: is still lagging behind offensively, like there are still issues,

135
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: and yet they have found a way to score runs

136
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: and produce And that gets me excited about the chances

137
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: for this team on offense. And one of the things

138
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: we're going to look at is the first month of

139
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: the schedule. I've talked about this a little bit on

140
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: since E three to sixty. I talked about it a

141
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: little bit yesterday on Extra Innings. There is a huge

142
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: opportunity for this team to put themselves in a great

143
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: position early on this season so that they can be

144
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: in control, that they can have momentum, that they can

145
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: give themselves a little bit of wiggle room if things

146
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 2: do go south or if guys do get hurt. There

147
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: is a huge opportunity that lies right before this Reds team.

148
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: And maybe one of the things that we didn't think

149
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: would be a strength for them has turned into a strength,

150
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: and that's their ability to correctly challenge pitches. Now, obviously

151
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: c B. Buckner might end up being the anomaly for

152
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: every team. They can all raise their percentages with CB

153
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: because he's a horrible, horrible umpire and has been for

154
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: a long long time. But if you have a strategy

155
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: that makes sense and a strategy that works, and a

156
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: strategy that can flip a game in your favor, that

157
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: can build up and add up over the course of

158
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: a season to the point where the Reds can finally

159
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: start winning in the margins. And I think that it's

160
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: incredibly important to be able to have that and I'm

161
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: curious to see how that will evolve over the course

162
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: of the season. We'll talk more about that as the

163
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: show goes on. I also want to note this and

164
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 2: give a shout out to the Reds fans who were

165
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: at the ballpark over the weekend. One hundred and nine thousand,

166
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty one fans at Great American Ballpark

167
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: for the opening series. That is the most for an

168
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: opening series in the history of the ballpark. Reds fans

169
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: deserve a lot of credit. There was a lot of

170
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: Red Sox fans that came as well, and that's all

171
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: right by me. It was a fun, raucous atmosphere at

172
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: GABP over the weekend, and fans have a lot to

173
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: be excited about, and I'm excited about the opportunity that

174
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: they have tonight to get things started the National League

175
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,040

176
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,959

00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 5: Wow, welcome back to Cincinnati, Gino.

203
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: Awesome moment yesterday at Great American Ballpark as au Hanio

204
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: Suarez opens his account for the second time as a

205
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: Red and hits that go ahead, ultimately game winning home

206
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 2: run at GABP, and I was really hoping the Reds

207
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: would hold on, not just because I wanted them to win,

208
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: but because I knew that if they did, the postgame

209
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: interview would be au Haneo Suarez talking to Jim Day,

210
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 2: which is just pure comedy and entertainment in and of itself,

211
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: and that's exactly what it was. Here's the postgame interview,

212
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: about two minutes or so of au Haneo Suarez talking

213
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: with Jim Day on Red's TV.

214
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 8: I mean, honestly, it is great that he the first

215
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 8: one coming back, you know, like I always say, the

216
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,640

00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: Make you feel a lot of good better.

218
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 8: And you know, I give a lot of credit on

219
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 8: my coaches. Right there, you make me I adjust my well.

220
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,760

Speaker 8: make my adjudgment Thry, make get easy and not let

222
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 8: that beat me. And I was ready on that piece

223
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 8: so than this guy. I gotta that one out front

224
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 8: and I hit.

225
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: It for a homer. Give it a lead to our team.

226
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 9: The fact that your first one is a game winner

227
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 9: small sample size, but coming out and winning this series

228
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 9: how important.

229
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: It's big.

230
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 8: You know.

231
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: Always the first one is the best.

232
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 8: You know, first win, first serious win, that means a lot,

233
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 8: you know, like I said, we win played really good

235
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 8: and win against one of the strongest team is awesome.

00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,080

00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 8: last three days, and it's awesome to see all defense

244
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 8: coming here and cheer for us and see the ovation

245
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,200

246
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 8: something that you appreciate a lot. And how we had

247
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 8: on my on my heart, you know, how how did

248
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 8: the defense been to me? You know, and you gotta

249
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 8: be a grandpa and you got to enjoy the time,

250
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 8: the moment, but like I always say, you know, I

251
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 8: would do my best for the team for defense and

252
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 8: coming here at thry win games.

253
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: Congratulations on the game, They have a good night a

254
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: ai Osuarez and Jim Day after the game. Just great

255
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: to hear his voice again and the appreciation and the

256
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: excitement with which he approaches the game of baseball. And

257
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: you'll hear from Terry Francona and just a little bit,

258
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: Tito talked about how I thought. He said, I thought

259
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: we had a good group before, and Suarez just makes

260
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: that group better. He lifts everybody up, and I do

261
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: think that that's important for a team that experienced a

262
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: little bit of success last year and did reach one

263
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: of their goals. They didn't complete the goal, they didn't

264
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: win the World Series, but they got to the postseason,

265
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: and the expectations have now shifted, and here's a guy

266
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: that can help maybe get them over the hump and

267
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: at least to maybe winning the National League Central or

268
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: at the very least, at the very least winning the

269
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: National Central or perhaps even advancing in the postseason, which

270
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: I think is the lowest possible bar for you to

271
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: hurdle if you're the Reds this season, and I just

272
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: think it says a lot and it gives you a

273
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: lot of confidence, not just au Hanio Suarez, but everybody

274
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: down the line in that organization that, Okay, we have

275
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: a dude that can hit thirty forty, maybe even fifty

276
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: home runs and that's going to have a net positive

277
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: impact on all of us. Couple of tweets here, you

278
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: can tweet at me at audielmoor au t y E

279
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: lm r E. I asked you what's your favorite or

280
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: perhaps least favorite part of the weekend was Kevin and

281
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: Northern Kentucky ways in he said his favorite part of

282
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: the week and other than the Reds winning the series,

283
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: was Gino winning back to back challenges against c B. Buckner. Listen,

284
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I've watched that clip. If you

285
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 2: combine the Brayln Mullen's game winning shot for Yukon and

286
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: the Auhanio Suarez back to back challenges, the amount of

287
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: times that I have watched both of those clips together

288
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: is probably well over one hundred. Number One, I cannot

289
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: stand Cebe Buckner and he's been horrible for a long time,

290
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 2: and it just it brings me a lot of joy

291
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: to see somebody who has repeatedly been complained about and

292
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 2: led to changing the outcomes of games because of his

293
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: incompetence over and over and over again over the course

294
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: of his lengthy career as a major league umpire finally

295
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: face the consequences. And what I think is just so

296
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 2: telling about the whole thing is on the second pitch

297
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: in a row that Sworez challenged, you kind of see

298
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: this like droop of the shoulders, like frustration from Buckner,

299
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: like are we doing this again? And the answer is, hell,

300
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: yes we are, because you suck at your job, and

301
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: the reason this exists is so that we can get

302
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: it right now. I don't know what the future of

303
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: the ABS system is going to be, but I can

304
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: tell you that it's awesome right now and Major League

305
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: Baseball is probably loving it because you've added a new

306
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: layer of strategy. You've added these edge of your seat

307
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: moments at ballparks. You're getting the calls correct, and you're

308
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: helping facilitate most of the time more offense, which is

309
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: what these guys want. That's what Major League Baseball wants,

310
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: not to mention. It is going crazy on social media.

311
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: There are clips all over the place of this ABS

312
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 2: challenge system. You're reaching young people, You're reaching baseball people

313
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: or fans that maybe you haven't reached before. And that

314
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 2: sort of stuff culminating in a positive outlook on major

315
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: League Baseball and getting in the headlines and getting in

316
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: conversation and infiltrating all these different pockets of space that

317
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: maybe Baseball hasn't infiltrated before. I think is a good thing.

318
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: And on top of that, you continue to get it right.

319
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: There is plenty to be critical of Rob Manfred about.

320
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: There is plenty, but the way that he has been

321
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: open to changing the rules. Now I know that Moe

322
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: hates the extra inning rule, does not like the ghost Runner.

323
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: I love it personally, I'm a big fan of it,

324
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 2: but I understand why people aren't. But you add in

325
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: that you made the bases bigger, You added the pitch clock,

326
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: which might have been the best possible thing that's ever

327
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: happened to Major League Baseball. You've now got the ABS challenges.

328
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: Like I just think it's it's perfect and as it

329
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 2: is right now, it perfectly strikes the balance between the

330
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: human element of the umpire and the use of the

331
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: automation and the technology to help the game go along

332
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: like there were times early in that game Saturday and

333
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: early in the game yesterday where the umpires missed calls

334
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: that the Reds easily could have challenged, but they didn't.

335
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: They wait until later in the game to use their

336
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: challenges that could flip it at bat in a high

337
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: leverage situation and ultimately have a positive impact on their

338
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: likelihood to win the game. I thought it was awesome

339
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: and it was really cool to see forty thousand people

340
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: at Great American Ballpark cheering for au haaneos Wruz. I

341
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: thought it was awesome. Layton weighs in on Twitter. He

342
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: tweeted at me at audio more. He got to go

Speaker 2: over the weekend. Tough loss to the Boston Bruins on

350
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: Sunday night. Yeah, Columbus is like these moments of the

351
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: hottest team in hockey in these moments where you don't

352
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 2: know if they've ever actually played the sport before, and

353
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: that's kind of been the history of Columbus Bluejackets hockey unfortunately.

354

00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Moegar Show, ESPN fifteen thirty. I'm not Moegar.

373
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: My name's Austin Elmore. We're already half an hour down

374
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: and this is normally where mo gives you the sports headlines,

375
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna do that over the course of the show.

376
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: But also we got to start with the biggest story

377
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 2: in sports. It's not what happened over the weekend with

378
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. It's not the fact that the NFL

379
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: is about to hire replacement refs in the NFL Referee

380
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: Association Union is doing things and saying things that I'm

381
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 2: having a hard time comprehending. It's not the fact that

382
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: Gary Woodland came back from brain surgery to win and

383
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: Houston over the weekend. It's not Tiger woods dui arrest,

384
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 2: although we're going to get into that. It's not the

385
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: fact that Trey Hendrickson donated two hundred and fifty thousand

386
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 2: dollars to the Sincy Hat and Ted Carris, although all

387
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: those things are pertinent. It's what happened yesterday in the

388
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament. So I was on the air yesterday and

389
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: I was on Extra innings down the hall on seven

390
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: hundred WLW, and I get off the air and I'm

391
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: driving home and I pull into my parking spot in

392
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 2: my apartment and I look at my phone and it

393
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: is going crazy. People are losing their marbles over what

394
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: happened in the college basketball game. And I'm like, oh

395
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: my gosh, I just missed something ridiculous, and so I

396
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 2: didn't know what to expect. My one buddy texted and said,

397
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to explain to you what

398
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 2: just happened. I finally see the clip, and I was

399
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: in disbelief, and I was also grinning ear to ear

400
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 2: like a possum because I saw that Duke had lost.

401
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: Here's how it sounded yesterday on the broadcast, the closing

402
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: seconds of Duke and Yukon.

403
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 7: It's the gun.

404
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: It cut, It went to the ball better than this

405
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 2: s guy get it in the bills and by hersa

406
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 2: head who's here.

407
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: That bought the Fluce caravan?

408
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: Two seconds tosses it.

409
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 7: Up, It goes in fro.

410
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 2: I an eagle on the call that was then followed

411
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: by an onion by Bill Raftery. Grant Hill was in disbelief.

412
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 2: Ten seconds to go all you have to do is

413
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: hold on to the basketball and Duke trying to throw

414
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: it down to the other end of the court where

415
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: there were two Duke Blue devils with no defenders around him.

416
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: The ball gets tipped, intercepted, thrown back and the three

417
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 2: is banged home from almost the logo and sent that

418
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: place into a frenzy. That was a great call by

419
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 2: Iron Eagle. This is also a great call on the

420
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: Yukon Radio broadcast. Boozaid they double them back to Tsar.

421
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 9: Now I head the Cayden Boozer and a steal Mullens

422
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 9: gets it. It's caravan to Mullen's long range three. Bullin's

423
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 9: delivers bedlam dedlom here.

424
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: They're gonna go to the monitor to review.

425
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 9: It's the loop pendulums.

426
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: Mullins threw a forty five put a rod just the ah.

427
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: This is scream from the Yukon Radio broadcast team could

428
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: not believe what they had just seen. And then there's

429
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 2: of course two sides to every coin. Here's what it

430
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: sounded like on the Duke radio call.

431
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 6: Hit it in they do for Boozer, bobbled it back

432
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 6: for Sar and needs to get rid of it.

433
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 11: Does for Kaden.

434
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 6: Seven seconds, try to throw it ahead, deflected, stolen by

435
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 6: Connecticut two seconds. It's Mullin's up top for the wind.

436
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 6: Oh hit it with three tenths of a second ago,

437
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 6: cale Kai Smith ran off the bench.

438
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 11: That should be a technical with three.

439
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: Tenths of a second ago.

440
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 6: Connecticut has the least seventy three to seventy two, as

441
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 6: Connecticut got the three from Mullins after the turnover from

442
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 6: Cadaen Boozer.

443
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: That was the call on the Duke Radio network and

444
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: to immediately call for the technical foul as a player

445
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: had taken a couple of steps onto the floor and

446
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: immediately retreated back to the bench. That is just so Duke, right,

447
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 2: Like I know there was a post or an article

448
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 2: or a story or a piece or whatever you want

449
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 2: to call it written this week about you know, does

450
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: America still hate Duke because it's still cool to hate

451
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 2: Duke And the answer is yes. Duke is just I

452
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: can't stand the Blue Devils. I have a question, are

453
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 2: they still considered a blue blood when they haven't done

454
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: anything without coach K. I mean they've made five final

455
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: fours in their history without coach K, and three of

456
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 2: those were in the sixties, they blew a huge lead

457
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 2: in the final four. Last year, Coach K got packed

458
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: up by North Carolina, their biggest rival in the final

459
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: four a couple of years ago. Like Duke, has a

460
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 2: lot of history, much of that is connected to Coach K.

461
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 2: They've had so much talent in recent years and it's

462
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: been a minute since they won the national championship. I mean,

463
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: how long does the losing have to go before you

464
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 2: start to lose your blue blood status? How long does

465
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: the winning have to go before you start to fully

466
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: gain your blue blood status? Is that what Yukon is

467
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: going through right now? I don't know. Now, I will

468
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: say this, Dan Hurley is a eclectic guy, a fiery guy,

469
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: an incredible basketball coach. Understandably, the way he acts rubs

470
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: people the wrong way. Sometimes he had a visceral excited

471
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: reaction with his players and on the bench, as he

472
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: should after erasing a nineteen point deficit. But there was

473
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: this moment where as the official is coming over to

474
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: the scores table to make sure they have the right

475
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: amount of time on the clock, where Dan Hurley is

476
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: just like giving this official the death stare goes up

477
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: to him kind of with his chest puffed out and

478
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: his forehead forward and makes contact with the official. And

479
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: I understand, it's the heat of the moment. You're excited,

480
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: you just had this big, miraculous comeback. One of the

481
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: greatest moments in college basketball history happened. What are you

482
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: doing getting in the face of the official. There's these

483
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: times with Dan Hurley where I'm amused by him, I'm

484
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: entertained by him. I laugh at him. There's also these

485
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: times where I find him quite charming, and the way

486
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: that he handles interviews like radio interviews and one on

487
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: one interviews, like I'm fascinated by him. And there are

488
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: times when I don't know what is wrong with him,

489
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: like he's completely out of his mind. And that's what

490
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: happened yesterday going up and I wouldn't say he had

491
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: budded the official, but there was just there was a

492
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 2: light brush of contact between their foreheads. I give the

493
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: official credit because if somebody's coming to get in my

494
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: face looking at me the way he did with all

495
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: the antics and the f bombs and the way that

496
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: he already bereds officials, I might have called the t

497
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: on him in that moment, which that might have been

498
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: even more funny, to be honest, than Duke losing the

499
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: way they did would be for Danny Hurley to completely

500
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: lose his marbles to the point where a technical foul

501
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: was issued. Actually, what might have been the best part

502
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: would have been if Duke if Yukon hits that three ball,

503
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: Hurley gets teed up and then Duke misses the free throws,

504
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: that might have been the best, best possible outcome. But

505
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: I just I can't make up my mind about Dan

506
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: Hurley because there are times when I'm just like, what

507
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: is wrong with this dude? I don't understand Anyways. I

508
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: also want to give credit to Kaden Boozer from Duke is.

509
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: He's the one who turned the ball over in that moment,

510
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: And to his credit, he sat up there and he

511
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: answered every question and he took responsibility, and he explained

512
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: what he was supposed to do and what he didn't

513
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: do and how he felt like he cost his team

514
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: the season. This is an eighteen nineteen year old kid

515
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: who just went through this horrible moment in his basketball career.

516
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: His brother is about to leave him to go to

517
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: the NBA. The season just ended in this such embarrassing fashion,

518
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: and for Caden Boozer to sit up there tears in

519
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: his eyes, and to be vulnerable and honest and to

520
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: answer every single question. I think that's first class by him,

521
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: and I give him and Duke a lot of credit

522
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: for handling it the way they did. I really do

523
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 2: same with John Shier, who I thought handled it pretty

524
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: well all things considered. By the way. The Final four

525

Speaker 2: Welcome back in the Moeggers Show, ESPN fifteen thirty. My

548
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 2: name is Austin Elmore. Red's victorious over the weekend, winning

549
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 2: the series against the Boston Red Sox. Back at GABP

550
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: tonight to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. More on that,

551
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: including at the start of our number two, Sal Stewart

552
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: maybe the biggest story on this team that we didn't

553
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 2: really talk enough about in spring training. We'll talk about that.

554
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Pat Brennan at the top of the

555
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: five o'clock hour live from Great American Ballpark as he

556
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 2: gets set for Red's Pirates tonight. Speaking of which, how

557
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 2: will the Reds line them up tonight at GABP. It

558
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: goes as follows leading off in centerfield, TJ Friedel batting

559
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: second and playing second. Matt McClain, Elie de la Cruz

560
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: bats third. He's the shortstop. The cleanup hitter is the

561
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 2: first baseman, Sal Stewart. The fifth batter is dha Uhaneo Suarez.

562
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 2: Sixth batter and left fielder Spencer Steer batting seventh in

563
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: right field, Will Benson. The eighth batter is the catcher,

564
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: Tyler Stevenson batting ninth and playing third. Base Key Brian Hayes.

565
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 2: That's with Chase Burns on the mound. One more time.

566
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: That's Friedel, McClain, De la Cruz, Stuart Suarez, Steer, Benson, Stevenson,

567
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: Hayes with Chase Burns on the mound. It'd be Chase

568
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: Burns first start of the year. It'll be the third

569
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 2: time in his career that he has faced the Pittsburgh Pirates.

570
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: More on that coming up in just a little bit

571
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: as well. Some of the other headlines from around sports.

572
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 2: The NFL annual meetings are getting underway in Phoenix, Arizona.

573
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: NFC coaches spoke this morning. AFC coaches will speak tomorrow morning.

574
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm back in on this show on Wednesday,

575
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 2: and we will go out to Arizona and talk to

576
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: Paul Dayner Junior, covering the Bengals for the Athletic typically

577
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: on most show on Tuesdays. He's going to join me

578
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: on Wednesday to recap everything we learned from the NFL

579
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: Annual Meetings and what Zach Taylor had to say, and

580
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: most notably, what Katie Blackburn didn't have to say. I

581
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: have some thoughts on this that we'll share as the

582
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 2: show goes along. But the Bengals are saying that Katie

583
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 2: Blackburn will not be made available to the media to

584
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: talk at the NFL Annual meetings. This is different from

585
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 2: what has happened in the past. Kelsey Conway, who's out

586
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: there covering the meetings as well, said that the Bengals

587
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: said they'll make her available at a later date, but

588
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: there is no clarification on win exactly. That might be

589
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: Andre Pirata, the great sports contract analyst and all those

590
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 2: things that we've had him on the show in the past,

591
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: he said. By the Way, reported that the Bengals used

592
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 2: two void years on the contract of Joe Flacco, making

593
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: the cap hit this season just over three million dollars.

594
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 2: If you remember he had a one year, six million

595
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,479
Speaker 2: dollar deal that was signed Bengals apparently using two void

596
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: years their void years there to I guess, ease the

597
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: cap hit for this season and pushed that problem into

598
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 2: future years as far as Joe Flacco is concerned. The NFL,

599
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 2: by the way, is preparing to hire replacement referees. They

600
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: are ongoing negotiations between the NFL and the nfl r A,

601
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: that is, the NFL Referees Association, and they are apparently

602
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 2: the Miles and Miles and Miles apart on their agreement

603
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: for their compensation. Details have been released about this, and

604
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: quite honestly, I think it's a pretty fair deal that

605
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: the NFL is offering up to the nfl RA, to

606
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 2: be completely honest, but doesn't seem like there's going to

607
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 2: be any progress made there. The stuff that continues to

608
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: come out of the meetings in Phoenix would suggest that

609
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 2: there's little to no progress being made there. So the

610
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: NFL when this happened previously, you remember how much of

611
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 2: a disaster it was with the replacement refs, then, well,

612
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 2: the NFL was really late. I don't think those guys

613
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 2: got hired and trained and all that until July first

614
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 2: when they did that the last time. The NFL wants

615
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: to have all these dudes done by May first, to

616
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: begin their training and send them out and do all

617
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 2: these other things. So if that's the case, you would

618
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: hope that there would be a better crop and more

619
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 2: prepared crop of replacement officials to a stand. However long

620
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 2: this I guess you could call it a lockout might

621
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: be between the NFL and the NFLRA. Hoping for more

622
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: information as far as that's concerned. I also thought this

623
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: was cool, really cool thing that was reported today. Trey

624
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: Hendrickson donated two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to Ted

625
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 2: Carris's since he Hat Foundation Now. Ted had joked with

626
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: Trey a few years ago, a few weeks ago after

627
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: Trey signed with the Ravens that basically said he's gonna

628
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 2: have to make a donation or something to the since

629
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 2: he had to make up for it. Well, he did

630
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: make a donation to the since he had and I

631
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 2: thought it was cool. Ted Carris on Twitter today said

632
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: I respect this brother.

633
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 5: Thank you.

634
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: Your generosity will house adults with disabilities for generations. I'll

635
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: see you out there twice a year hopefully. Thursday night

636
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,479
Speaker 2: in Cincy this time. That is the Bengals Center, Ted Carris.

637
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: By the way, if you're wondering about the NFL schedule,

638
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: mid May is the expectation that we'll get the NFL

639
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: schedule release. We don't have that finalized yet, but the

640
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 2: Bengals definitely candidates to play an international game.

641
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 11: And and.

642
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 2: There are reports out there today that and this is

643
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: no surprise all the NFL owners won an eighteenth game.

644
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: Good luck with that. You're gonna have to make some

645
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 2: concessions to the nfl PA. But I get where they're

646
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 2: coming from.

647
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 7: All right.

648
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: To get started in hour number two, South Stewart, the

649
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: man we didn't talk enough about. That's next on ESPN

650
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. Hi, Hello, welcome in our number two of

651
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 2: the Moegger Show, right here on ESPN fifteen thirty. My

652
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 2: name is Austin Elmore. Happy to be with you, Happy

653
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 2: to be filling in for mo today. Moe is out today,

654
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 2: He's out tomorrow. It's out Wednesday. He returns Thursday from Indianapolis.

655
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 2: According to his tweet earlier today, at Moeger tomorrow it'll

656
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 2: be Chick Ludwig in this share. I return on Wednesday

657
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 2: that's because tomorrow I'll be hosting solo duties of Sincy

658
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: three sixty from noon to three here on ESPN fifteen thirty.

659
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: Thank you for being here with me right now. Your

660
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 2: phone calls in just a couple of minutes to me.

661
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: The story of the weekend, as far as the Reds

662
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: are concerned, is not necessarily the fact that they won

663
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 2: two out of three, or that the abs challenges happen

664
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 2: the way they did, or any of that. It's about

665
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: the fact that South Stewart has started off on fire.

666
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 2: And this is a dude, quite frankly, that maybe we

667
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 2: didn't talk enough about during the spring, like so much

668
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 2: was talked about. Okay, well, Ellie's gonna be healthy, he's

669
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 2: coming back off that quad and Matt McClain, if he

670
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: can return to form, well then this offense can really go.

671
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: And he's got that shoulder injury behind him now and

672
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 2: now he's got a chance to really take off. And

673
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 2: au Hainio Suarez in the power that he's going to

674
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: bring to this lineup, that's gonna be a huge lift.

675
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 2: And nouel Vi Marte had a really good good season

676
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 2: last year until the very end, and he'll get back

677
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 2: to form and YadA, YadA, YadA, and the kind of

678
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: what if or kind of forgotten a forgotten about part

679
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: of this is, oh, salth Stewart played in eighteen games

680
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: last year, and he was really productive for them and

681
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 2: hit twenty homers over the course of the season, both

682
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 2: at the major league level and the minor league levels

683
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 2: that he played as well. And all of a sudden,

684
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 2: before the end of spring training, you see that salth

685
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: Stewart starts showing up in the number four spot in

686
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 2: the lineup, the lineup spot that we thought a u

687
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 2: Haneo Suarez was going to be taking up every single day,

688
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 2: but instead Terry Francona goes to Sal Stuart and Sal Stewart.

689
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 2: All he's done through the first three games is bat

690
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 2: seven hundred with an ops over two thousand, and on Saturday,

691
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: he did this, Sal.

692
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 5: Stuart, he will lead things off of the Reds. As

693
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 5: we begin the bottom of the third inning, Red's leading

694
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 5: flyball deep center field, going back Raphaela Giess that baby goodbye.

695
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 5: A dead center home run for the Reds first baseman

696
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 5: Sal Stuart his first home run of the twenty twenty

697
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:34,720
Speaker 5: sixth season.

698
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 11: And let me tell you what volk Sal Stuart is.

699
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 2: Smokking great stuff from Jeff Brantley on the call on

700
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW. The fact that Francona feels comfortable putting

701
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 2: him in the lineup in that spot says a lot.

702
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: It also says that he's immediately that decision has immediately

703
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 2: paid off. Multiple times throughout the first three games, there

704
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 2: have been runners on base most of the time, Sal

705
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: Stewart and au Henio Surez coming up to the plate. Now,

706
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: he hasn't converted all of those chances. He won't be

707
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 2: one hundred percent on those chances for the whole season.

708
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 2: But with runners on base the other day, au Heeniu

709
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 2: Suarez comes through with the bases loaded on opening day,

710
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 2: with sal Stuart in scoring position on opening day at

711
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 2: second base after a double. Repeatedly, there have been runners

712
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 2: on with your best power bat at the plate, and

713
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 2: that is a decision that Terry Francona deserves credit for

714
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 2: and Sal Stewart deserves credit for that not being too

715
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 2: big for him for him welcoming that pressure coming up

716
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 2: later on, you'll hear from Tito and what Tito said

717
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 2: about Sal as an advanced young hitter and how he

718
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 2: changed one of the words he said about sal Stewart.

719
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 2: But this dude could actually end up being the key.

720
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 2: He would be the guy that unlocks the offense more

721
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: than what we thought McClain would be, or more than

722
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: what we thought Suarez would be. If you've got him

723
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 2: in that cleanup spot causing problems for pitchers, well then

724
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden again the trickle down effect and

725
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 2: the depth of the lineup becomes an issue for any

726
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 2: pitching staff that would have to face the Reds. And

727
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 2: it's not just that he's having a good season, it's

728
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: that he's having a historic start through the first three games.

729
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 2: How about this stat from Sarah Langs, the great statistician

730
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 2: and researcher for MLB. South Stewart is twenty two years old,

731
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 2: or excuse me, twenty two years and one hundred and

732
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 2: twelve days old. He has reached base ten times in

733
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 2: the Reds first three games. The only MLB players since

734
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 2: nineteen hundred to reach base safely ten times in the

735
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 2: first three team games at a younger age was Jim

736
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 2: fraghost See in nineteen sixty four and Barney McCosky in

737
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 2: nineteen thirty nine. That's it. Those are the only people

738
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 2: to do it at a younger age than south Stewart

739
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: at any age, sal is the first Reds player to

740
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: do this since Barry Larkin in two thousand and one.

741
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 2: Anytime you do something that the captain did, I like

742
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: your odds and salth Stewart deserves some credit for this start.

743
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 2: Hopefully he can continue that. You'll hear more about him

744
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 2: and what Terry Francona said later on in the show.

745
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 2: We've got a couple of minutes now for phone calls

746
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 2: five on three, seven, four nine, fifteen thirty before we

747
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: get to Paul Fritchner to talk a little bit of

748
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 2: college hoops. In this hour, let's go to Virginia and

749
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 2: talk to Jeff. Jeff, you're on ESPN fifteen thirty. What's up, Happy.

750
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 12: Monday, Austin.

751
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 7: That's great.

752
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 12: Job is always pushing all the buttons and speaking into

753
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 12: the microphone.

754
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 2: Well, I got Terren's help today, thankfully.

755
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 12: Oh okay, that's good.

756
00:45:58,200 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 13: That's good.

757
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 7: He's as good as it comes to.

758
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 12: So I feel like it's the University of Maryland grad.

759
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 12: I really shouldn't pile on Duke's misery, but I do

760
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 12: love it.

761
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 11: I have to admit.

762
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 12: I was at Cameron on Shane Battier senior night. I

763
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 12: think Jan Dixon scored like forty six points.

764
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 11: That night or something, and we ran them out of camera.

765
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 12: And it will be hard to top that Yesterday.

766
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 11: Will be up there for for quite quite a long time.

767
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 2: That's that's really cool.

768
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, quick quick switch to the Bengals might be a

769
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 12: good thing. Katie's not speaking at the meeting. I got

770
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 12: my season ticket relocation email today. I would guess that

771
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 12: season ticket renewals did not come in anywhere near where

772
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 12: they thought they were going to come in.

773
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 7: There are plenty of one hundred.

774
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 12: Level seats on the visitors side of the field available

775
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 12: for relocations, so if those don't get taken, I do

776
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 12: believe that they put them on ticket Master if I'm

777
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 12: not mistaken, So we we might see more visiting fans

778
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 12: and even usual any games come to fall time if

779
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 12: this ends up working out. Bengals side of the field

780
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 12: very solid, of course, which is interesting because that's the

781
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 12: cold side of the field, not in the sun. But

782
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 12: I just started poking around and I'm in one fifty eight.

783
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 12: There aren't the end zones are full. Bengal side is

784
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 12: pretty full. But the one hundreds and the two hundreds

785
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 12: on the visitors side of the field, the sunny side

786
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 12: of the field, there's a lot of tickets over there,

787
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 12: so we'll we'll have to see how that turns out.

788
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 12: But it would be great to be able to ask Katie, Hey, Katie,

789
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 12: how did season ticket renewals come.

790
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 7: In this year?

791
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 2: I would I would be curious to know how she

792
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 2: would answer that question.

793
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 14: Uh.

794
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 12: She she'd dodge and duck and say, well, we don't

795
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 12: you know what she'd say. She'd say, we don't have

796
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 12: the numbers yet. Not we're not done with the process

797
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 12: all that.

798
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 2: Well, maybe that's why they're delaying. They're delaying so they

799
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 2: do have the numbers.

800
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 11: There we go, it could be so.

801
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 12: All right, We'll get on with the other callers and

802
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 12: enjoy your three days of crazy work this week.

803
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you, Jeff, I appreciate it. Good to hear

804
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 2: from you. Yeah, I know a lot of people were

805
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 2: upset with I think ticket price is changing and season

806
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 2: tickets and all that. And listen, the Bengals know. The

807
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 2: Bengals understand when you don't go to the postseason and

808
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 2: when you raise the prices, people are going to leave.

809
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 2: It's the reality. Now. I don't tell anybody how to

810
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: spend their money, and people can do and say and

811
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: feel however they want to say and do and feel

812
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 2: and all those things. But to me, the equation has

813
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 2: always been quite simple. If you win, people will show up.

814
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 2: What was the stat I gave earlier, one hundred and

815
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 2: nine thousand people through three games to start the season

816
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 2: against the Boston Red Sox. Now, obviously Opening Day is

817
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 2: a huge part of that, and I know people are

818
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 2: going to complain and say, well, if you won the lottery,

819
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: then you had to buy tickets for all three Yeah,

820
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 2: and a lot of them were sold to Red Sox

821
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 2: fans on Saturday and Sunday, and also from Red's people

822
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 2: I talked to. There were not that many people that

823
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 2: actually won the lottery for Opening Day. So either way,

824
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 2: still the Reds are rewarded. Number one, there's a premiere

825
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 2: opponent for sure, and it's Opening Day, yes, But also

826
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 2: the Reds are rewarded by getting very strong attendance numbers

827
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 2: to start their season based off of what I believe

828
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 2: is a successful season a year ago, reaching the postseason,

829
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 2: at least in the eyes of a lot of Reds

830
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 2: fans and an aggressive off season in which they got

831
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 2: and made the team better. And so if you do that,

832
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 2: fans will then reward you by showing up to games.

833
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 2: Same situation down the street with the Bengals. Now, the

834
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 2: Bengals are not gonna have any any problems selling tickets

835
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 2: to all of their games this year, although it's not

836
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 2: the best home slate coming to pay Core Stadium this year,

837
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 2: but still they're not going to have any issues selling

838
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 2: those tickets. And as far as season tickets are concerned,

839
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 2: I understand the hesitancy for a lot of Reds or

840
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 2: for a lot of Bengals fans, just based off of

841
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 2: they don't still don't have a linebacker. Maybe not enough

842
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 2: to convince you that the defense is actually going to

843
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 2: be fixed and you've missed the postseason for the third

844
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 2: straight year. I don't know how many of those questions though,

845
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 2: that Katie would have gotten at the NFL annual meetings.

846
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that later. Let's talk some college basketball.

862
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 2: in sports over the weekend is not what happened at

863
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 2: Great American Ballpark, although maybe we should begin building the

864
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 2: South Stewart Statue instead. It's what happened in the NCAA Tournament.

865
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: The Elite eight now down to the final four, and

866
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 2: here to talk to us about it. Is the host

867
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 2: of the Rebound Rundown podcast and affectionately known to many

868
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 2: as Mister College Basketball. His name is Paul fre and

869
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 2: he joins us now. Hi Paul how are you.

870
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 15: I'm doing so so well after this weekend, Austin, How

871
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 15: are you doing?

872
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 7: Man?

873
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 2: I'm wonderful and thank you for making the time. And

874
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 2: and you know, I knew you were a little bit

875
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 2: hesitant because you didn't want me to mention your bracket

876
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: and the fact that you're one hundred and twenty third

877
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 2: and just seventy six percent in your bracket. So I'm

878
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 2: not going to mention any of that stuff. How do

879
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 2: you I appreciate that, no problem. How do you explain

880
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 2: what happened yesterday with Duke and Yukon.

881
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 15: Well, Yukont happened and to an extent, with the way

882
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 15: that's been going the last couple of years, And I

883
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 15: mean it really is when you look at this trends

884
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 15: and how Duke has played in their biggest games, look

885
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 15: at their last four losses overall, They've only lost.

886
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 7: Four games in the last calendar year.

887
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 15: All four of them they've blown a double digit lead.

888
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 15: You think back to what happened last year in the

889
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 15: Final four, and then this year in their three losses

890
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 15: this season to in a regular season, and then the

891
00:52:59,160 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 15: one yesterday.

892
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 7: The story for John Shier and these Blue Devils.

893
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 15: Has been when they've lost, and it hasn't been often,

894
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 15: but when they've lost, it's been blowing a big lead.

895
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 15: And on the other hand, for Yukon, Dan Hurley is

896
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 15: still undefeated in the Sweet sixteen and beyond. They just

897
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 15: always figure out a way to win.

898
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 7: It's crazy.

899
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 10: Austin.

900
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing because they have had these moments

901
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 2: I guess where you know that they're talented, but they

902
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 2: don't necessarily show it. And I think Duke was kind

903
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 2: of the same way, like they didn't really play that

904
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 2: well through the first couple rounds of the tournament. But

905
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 2: do you think that's the type of win for Yukon

906
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 2: that can propel them now coming up in this final four.

907
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 15: Yeah. You look at this game on Saturday against Illinois,

908
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 15: that's basically going to be a pick them.

909
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 7: I saw. I think it opened it a point and

910
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 7: a half to Illinois, But.

911
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 15: That's basically going to be a pick them. And you

912
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 15: remember a couple of years ago in twenty twenty four,

913
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 15: that was the year that Illinois and Yukon and played

914
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 15: each other in the Elite eight and Yon they were

915
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 15: tied and Yukon ripped off a thirty nothing run and

916
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 15: you know, that game was over. From that point on,

917
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 15: So Yukon they might sorry, Illinois, they might not have

918
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 15: all the players on the team.

919
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 7: That remember that right, you know, in the day and

920
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 7: age of the transfer portal.

921
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 15: But at the same time, the coaching staff, these two

922
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 15: coaching staffs are familiar with each other. There is going

923
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 15: to be definitely some get back kind of mentality there

924
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,479
Speaker 15: from Illinois. But on the other side of your question

925
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 15: about Yukon, Yeah, I really do think so, because you know,

926
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 15: on paper, do they match up very well with Michigan

927
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 15: or Arizona if they get to the.

928
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 7: Title game on Monday, No, they don't. I think either one.

929
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 7: Whoever wins that second game on Saturday night's going to

930
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 7: be expected.

931
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 15: To win the title. But bho am I to doubt

932
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 15: Dan Hurley and these Huskies at this point.

933
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. And you I want to

934
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 2: ask you about Illinois as well, because you know, when

935
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 2: I was getting ready for the show, I checked and

936
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 2: it's two and a half. That's the number right now

937
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 2: that the Ali and I are favored by. And they've

938
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 2: got a bunch of talent from overseas, They've got a

939
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 2: bunch of European players. Do you think that in the

940
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 2: portal Era and il Era, this could be maybe a

941
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 2: bit of a trend setting team here going overseas to

942
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,720
Speaker 2: get more talent and maybe some older players.

943
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 13: Yeah.

944
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 15: You look at two teams in this final four, Arizona

945
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 15: and Illinois. They are two exceptionally talented international recruiting teams.

946
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 15: Those teams really focus on going over and getting international talent,

947
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 15: especially Illinois, and I think the way that a lot

948
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 15: of these coaching staffs that can afford to do it right.

949
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 7: You have to have the budget to be able to

950
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 7: recruit overseas.

951
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 15: But at the same point, it's also never been easier

952
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 15: because you can watch a lot of these players on film.

953
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 15: Maybe you can have some phone conversations with them and

954
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 15: then get them over here. You don't always you want

955
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 15: to see him in person, but if you don't see

956
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 15: him in person, you have more connections than ever to

957
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 15: be able to do that.

958
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 7: And these two teams have really.

959
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 15: Placed an emphasis on it, and I think Illinois has

960
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 15: been able to find players that fit exactly what they

961
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 15: want to do. You think back to the last couple

962
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 15: of years, yakachonas last year, I.

963
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 7: Mean they have found.

964
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 15: Players that have really fit what brat Underwood likes. And

965
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 15: because of that, the international recruiting has set them apart.

966
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 15: And you think over there in Europe, it's not the

967
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 15: same way that it's structured here. As far as amateur

968
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 15: basketball goes. You could see that a lot of these

969
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 15: guys play professionally, but the quality of basketball might be

970
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 15: the same as playing at the college level. So you've

971
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 15: got to think of it from a different perspective. I

972
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 15: think a lot of times fans will see, oh, they're

973
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 15: playing professionally.

974
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 7: You know, why can't the G League guys play? Well,

975
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 7: it's different, right, It's.

976
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,919
Speaker 15: Yeah, they're pros, but they don't have the university model

977
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 15: the same way that the Americans do. So, yeah, Illinois

978
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 15: been able to set themselves apart.

979
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 2: And I think you're right. I think that for the

980
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 2: teams that can afford to do it, it is a trend.

981
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 2: You may not know the answer to this question. I

982
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 2: just thought of it as as you were talking. Is like,

983
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 2: I wonder what the impacts on the NBA will be

984
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 2: because there's already such a heavy European presence and the

985
00:56:58,239 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 2: Draft is going to happen in a couple of months

986
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 2: and most of the first round are going to be

987
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 2: players selected from overseas. I wonder if the NBA likes

988
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 2: the idea of more of those young players coming over

989
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 2: here and playing or staying over there and playing. I

990
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 2: don't know.

991
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 15: Well, it's funny you say that because I'm in the

992
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 15: car right now with a good friend, Adam Boum, And

993
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 15: just before you called, Adam and I were talking about

994
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 15: the impact of international basketball just in general here in

995
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 15: the United States, and how you look back at the

996
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 15: last few drafts, how many of these top ten picks

997
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 15: are international players that if you just follow college basketball,

998
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 15: I mean, you might never have heard of the top

999
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 15: three or four picks in the draft. And I think

1000
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 15: that's only getting big. You look at, you know, the Olympics,

1001
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 15: you look at anything around the world. International basketball in

1002
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 15: the United States doesn't have the same.

1003
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 7: Edge that they always did.

1004
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to the other final four game, Michigan

1005
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 2: in Arizona. It pains me to say this, Paul, but

1006
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 2: I think Michigan's the best team in the country. I

1007
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 2: think they're going to win the national championship. What makes

1008
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 2: them so good?

1009
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 7: I'm gonna zag on that one.

1010
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 15: And I think Arizona is gonna beat Michigan on Saturday night,

1011
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 15: and we'll see, maybe we should maybe we should have

1012
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 15: a little friendly ways for here on that one.

1013
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 7: We'll see.

1014
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 15: But I do think whoever wins that game, if it's

1015
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 15: Michigan or Arizona, I think whoever wins that game is

1016
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 15: going to win the title.

1017
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 7: These are two of the best.

1018
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 15: Now it's kind of apples orange is a little bit,

1019
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 15: but if you just look at the efficiency metrics on

1020
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 15: Ken Palm, they are the two of the four most

1021
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 15: efficient teams in the history of Ken Palm, which dates

1022
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 15: back to nineteen ninety seven. So you think in the

1023
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 15: last thirty seasons of college basketball, Arizona and Michigan are

1024
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 15: two of the four best teams assembled in the last

1025
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 15: thirty years. It just goes to show how talented these

1026
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 15: two teams are. To put it in perspective, you know,

1027
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 15: Michigan with Jaxel.

1028
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 7: Lendeborg and Die Mara, you know they lose LJ.

1029
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 15: Cason with some point guard depth, but they really haven't

1030
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 15: dropped the ball at all with him being gone. I

1031
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 15: just think what Dusty May has done there and the

1032
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 15: way he's built that roster with size, with exceptional playmaking.

1033
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 15: They don't really have any holes in their roster. And yeah,

1034
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 15: I think that that game between Arizona Michigan is just

1035
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 15: going to be I mean, it should be built up

1036
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 15: this week, hopefully, if the national media does this right,

1037
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 15: this should be built up as one.

1038
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 2: Of the best Final Four games in recent memory. So

1039
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 2: let's say your prediction is true. Let's say Arizona beats Michigan.

1040
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 2: The reason they beat Michigan will be what.

1041
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 14: I think.

1042
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 15: If they beat Michigan, it's going to be because they

1043
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 15: shot the three better than they've shot it recently. If

1044
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 15: you've watched Arizona this year, they have not relied at

1045
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 15: all on the three. I mean, I think they've only

1046
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 15: made five the other day. They're just they don't take

1047
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 15: a ton and they don't make a ton, but they

1048
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 15: don't need to because they have everything else. They beat

1049
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 15: you up on the boards, they can score their dynamic,

1050
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 15: they have positional size.

1051
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 7: I think Arizona plays.

1052
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 15: The games a little bit better than I just trust

1053
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 15: Arizona's ability across the board, sure, a slight bit more

1054
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 15: than I trust Michigan's when they're both playing at their best.

1055
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 15: But I mean, either way, if Michigan wins this game.

1056
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 15: I will not be surprised if Arizona wins this game.

1057
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 15: I'll not be surprised. They're just so so good.

1058
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 2: Talking to Paul Fritchner. He's the host of the Rebound

1059
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 2: Rundown podcast and if you haven't heard it, he goes

1060
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 2: in depth with all of the local college basketball teams.

1061
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: Does a great job, Paul. We haven't had a chance

1062
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 2: yet to talk about you see hiring Jared Calhoun. It

1063
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 2: felt like a layup, and it was a layup that

1064
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 2: you see seem to convert. Why is Jared Calhoun in

1065
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 2: your mind a fit with the Bearcats.

1066
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 15: I think he's a fit because of what he's going

1067
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 15: to be able to do offensively, and it's such a

1068
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 15: drastically different style than what Bearcat fans are used to.

1069
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 15: I was joking with somebody about this the other day

1070
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 15: about how, you know, U see fans for decades have

1071
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 15: been used to winning the grinded out maybe some lower

1072
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 15: scoring games where you're winning in the upper sixties or

1073
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 15: low seventies, Like, that's not exactly what you're gonna get here.

1074
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 15: You're going to get a more dynamic offense. You're gonna

1075
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 15: get a high powered motor and you're going to give

1076
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 15: something up on the defensive end, which I think in

1077
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 15: this era of college basketball, you're okay with. But Jared

1078
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 15: Calhoun has flipped things around in the last whatever ten

1079
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 15: years that it's been that he's been in at the

1080
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 15: Division one level. He spent seven or eight years at

1081
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 15: Youngstown State, he goes to Utah State for a couple

1082
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 15: of years. He is in the in the tree of

1083
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 15: Bob Huggins. This is everything that a Cincinnati higher should

1084
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 15: be in Jared Calhoun.

1085
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 7: I think they hit it out of the park.

1086
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 15: There was it never really felt like there was another

1087
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 15: candidate right and they went and they got their guy.

1088
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 7: And I think that's why it's.

1089
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 15: Important that you had the lay up of a higher,

1090
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 15: had to break away layup, and you didn't smoke the layup,

1091
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 15: you converted.

1092
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 2: What about the defense that I've heard that from a

1093
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 2: couple of different people. Now it just gives you a

1094
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 2: little bit of pause, not necessarily that people are panicking

1095
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 2: about Calhoun's defense, but what about it causes a little

1096
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 2: bit of hesitation when evaluating his teams.

1097
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, if you look back.

1098
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 15: At his metrics over the years at Youngstown State, which

1099
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 15: again it's not exactly apples to apples, but you know,

1100
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 15: to an extent, I think the I think for Calhoun,

1101
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 15: he recognized that he had a problem on.

1102
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 7: The defensive end.

1103
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 15: He hasn't ever really had a problem offensively, but he

1104
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 15: went and he got an assistant, Eric count from northern Kentucky.

1105
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 7: Your Norse Austin went hired.

1106
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 15: Assistant Eric out from northern Kentucky, and he spent the

1107
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 15: last couple of years on Calhoun's staff at Utah State,

1108
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 15: and he helped Utah States defense improve from the mid

1109
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 15: one fifties on Ken Palm last year.

1110
01:02:58,640 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 7: To a top fifties.

1111
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 15: I think they might have even finished top forty nationally

1112
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 15: defensively this year. And they kind of ran a similar

1113
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 15: matchup zone style defense to what Nick Cronin did when

1114
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 15: he was it Cincinnati. And I know you might think

1115
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 15: to yourself, like, Okay, maybe you want to go completely

1116
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 15: off that tree, right, you want to think of something

1117
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 15: totally different than anything we've seen before defensively.

1118
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 7: Which is fine.

1119
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 15: I'll give you that that maybe it's not the worst

1120
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 15: thing in the world that you go to a different style,

1121
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 15: but more so that you had that stability on the

1122
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 15: coaching staff from somebody that had drastically improved his defensive effort.

1123
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 7: I'll just be interested. I don't think it's that much

1124
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 7: of a concern.

1125
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 11: I think it is.

1126
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 15: If there is a concern, that would be it. But

1127
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 15: now that he's had a couple of years to work at,

1128
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 15: you know, more in a positive direction.

1129
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 7: I'm not as concerned about it as I would have been, say,

1130
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 7: five or six years ago, when you really had a

1131
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 7: lot of questions.

1132
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 2: I'll give you a Xavier question before we let you go.

1133
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 2: The portals set to open in just a few days.

1134
01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 2: What is Xavier's plan or target or plan of attack

1135
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 2: going to be to fix the issues that they had

1136
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 2: this season through the portal?

1137
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think most of the roster is going to

1138
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 15: turn over. Yovon Malichovich, who is one of the best

1139
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 15: scorers on the team this season, he'll be back. You'd

1140
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 15: like to retain a guy and gave Pizzato, who was

1141
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 15: working off with torn meniscus this year. If there is

1142
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 15: anybody else beyond that back, we'll see, But I would

1143
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 15: expect those two guys to be the pieces that you

1144
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 15: could build around as far as retention goes. You didn't

1145
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 15: see Pizzato play at all this season he was hurt.

1146
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 7: But as far as.

1147
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 15: Retention from this year's team, to bring those two back,

1148
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 15: you got to get a point guard and you got

1149
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 15: to get somebody that you can trust on the interior.

1150
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 15: That's easier said than done, right, there are only so

1151
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 15: many guys. You can say the portal's filled with guys

1152
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 15: across the country, but how many dynamic, playmaking point guards

1153
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 15: are there.

1154
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 7: That's what you got to go and find.

1155
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 15: Everybody wants a big man, everybody wants a point guard.

1156
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 15: You got to compete with that from portalers across the country.

1157
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 15: So that's gonna be Xavier's focus. You have to have

1158
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 15: somebody who can run the offense through that you can trust,

1159
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 15: and you have to have somebody that's going to be

1160
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,919
Speaker 15: a threat on the interior if you have the wings

1161
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 15: already covered. So those are the things that you're looking at.

1162
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 15: I would expect Saver to work with a drastically improved

1163
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 15: nil base, so that'll be helpful for the Musketeers this offseason.

1164
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:16,959
Speaker 7: Dah, you just got to go and find the talent.

1165

1273
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 2: and be somebody who voraciously Defends Tiger woods and the

1274
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 2: actions that he took Last friday at two o'clock in the,

1275
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 2: afternoon going so fast on a residential street that he

1276
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 2: flipped a. Vehicle he's lucky now multiple times that he

1277
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 2: hasn't killed himself or other. People and Although i'm a

1278
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:40,719
Speaker 2: huge fan Of tiger and my favorite probably sporting event

1279
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 2: of my life was the twenty Nineteen masters and watching

1280
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 2: him come back from all the stuff he had gone

1281
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 2: through and what felt like this remarkable comeback story that

1282
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 2: was going to phase into the next chapter Of tiger's

1283
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 2: life as a father and as this person, who As

1284
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 2: Jim nance that, day put it returned to. Glory it

1285
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 2: has been really sad to see the fall off since,

1286
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:10,879
Speaker 2: then continuing to what appears to be struggle with prescription

1287
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 2: drugs and, painkillers with the many surgeries that he's had

1288
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 2: on his, back the devastating car accident that he's went

1289
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 2: through in twenty twenty, one where he's lucky to be,

1290
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 2: alive he's lucky to even have a. Leg he's still

1291
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 2: recovering from that. Injury AND i don't think there was

1292
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 2: any sort of testing done On tiger that day that

1293
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 2: there probably should have. Been and then you see what

1294
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 2: happened On, friday AND i think sometimes the lines are

1295
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 2: blurred and they shouldn't be by people who so badly

1296
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 2: want to see him succeed and so badly want to

1297
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 2: when they Watched Tiger woods see the guy that was

1298
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 2: the most dominant player on the, world in the world

1299
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 2: for the better part of fifteen or twenty. Years but

1300
01:13:56,479 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 2: That tiger is he doesn't exist. Anymore and what's sad,

1301
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:05,520
Speaker 2: is you, know he's been through all these different relationships

1302
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 2: and had these different women in his life and he's

1303
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 2: got these, kids And Charlie, woods his, son is starting

1304
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 2: to grow into the spotlight and is being pursued by

1305
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 2: colleges and all these, things and you, know THE tgl

1306
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 2: and you start to see these relationships that he has

1307
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,560
Speaker 2: with these young, guys and it's all things that you

1308
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:27,680
Speaker 2: think are. Good but yet there's clearly still a disconnect

1309
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 2: by the people around him that aren't helping him. Enough

1310
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 2: and it's not all their. Fault i'm not saying it

1311
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 2: is their. Fault ultimately It's tiger's. Fault but you hope

1312
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 2: That tiger gets the help he needs and the people

1313
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 2: around him are not afraid to tell him, no are

1314
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 2: not afraid to give him some tough, love are not

1315
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 2: afraid to set him straight before he kills himself or somebody.

1316
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 2: Else tiger gets the help he. Needs back for more

1361
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:25,400

1362
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 2: The reds if?

1363
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 11: Anything, YEAH i, mean, LOOK i don't want to fall

1364
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 11: in love with these guys over three, games BUT i

1365
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:42,560
Speaker 11: do think that we saw How what we saw was

1366
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 11: the how the twenty twenty Six reds have been designed

1367
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 11: differently and better than the twenty twenty Five. Reds and

1368
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 11: we saw pretty much every element of that in action

1369
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 11: and generally working to success outside of Opening. Day SO

1370
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:11,959
Speaker 11: i think if you, know you, Know Gino suarez obviously

1371
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 11: comes still ry and clearly the big bopper in the

1372
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 11: middle of the order that this lineup was screaming. For

1373
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 11: that went the way you wanted to. Go there they.

1374
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 2: Were they were a very.

1375
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:28,439

01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 11: won two of those. Already they were three and twelve

1377
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 11: in extra inning games last. Year they won one of

1378
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 11: those in the second game of the. Season last, year

1379
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:39,920

Speaker 11: Base this team is just so. Deep South stewart was

1385
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 11: out of the, game The Brian hayes was out of

1386
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 11: the game last. YEAR i think if you took any

1387
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:09,679
Speaker 11: two defensive starters off the field in a pinchitting situation

1388
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:12,639
Speaker 11: or whatever it may have, been you know that team

1389
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 11: is really going to be missing, something either defensively or.

1390
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:19,719
Speaker 11: Offensively they're going to be missing. Something but The reds

1391
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 11: just they kept coming in, waves and it was really

1392
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 11: it WAS i. WAS i was pleasantly surprised by what

1393
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:30,800
Speaker 11: we saw this. WEE i thought there was a chance

1394
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 11: that they could get swept to lose the, series AND

1395
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 11: i didn't. THINK i wasn't going to read too much

1396
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 11: into that BECAUSE i just think The Red sox are

1397
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 11: a good team and have this stuff. Together but really

1398
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 11: certainly grabbed my. Attention as far as you, know opening

1399
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 11: weekends series of the year, Ago i'm REALLY i was really.

1400
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:54,640
Speaker 2: Impressed you mentioned the moment Where Spencer steer comes into

1401
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 2: the game plays third base for the first time since

1402
01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. THREE i know that The reds have a

1403
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 2: lot more faith In Key Brian hayes than the fans probably,

1404
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 2: do but that does feel like something that is gonna

1405
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:13,600
Speaker 2: Be it's gonna have to be addressed at times this,

1406
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 2: year especially if Au Hanio suarez is the designated. Hitter

1407
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:20,560
Speaker 2: do you think it's as simple As Spencer steeer is

1408
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 2: going to be that, guy or do you think they

1409
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 2: can start putting South, stewart putting that back on Salth

1410
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 2: stewart's plate to play a little bit of third.

1411
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 11: Base, WELL i, mean the first thing that jumps to

1412
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:38,640
Speaker 11: mind here is that's the you, know his team is so,

1413
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 11: versatile and you, Know Terry francono was explaining the process

1414
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 11: of going To, spencer approaching him about playing third base

1415
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 11: in that, game and at one point bench Coach Freddy,

1416
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 11: benavidez After, spencer you, Know dave the expected green light

1417
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 11: on that, Move Freddie benavidez, said according To, tito he's a.

1418
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 11: Ballplayer they have a bunch of guys on this team

1419
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 11: who are just like really good. Ballplayers. Yeah, LOOK i

1420
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 11: mean this this was always kind of the roll of

1421
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 11: the dice With Brian hayes elite you, know gold multi

1422
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 11: Time Gold glove winning third, baseman and the bat just

1423
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:29,679
Speaker 11: looks like it's not going to be there at. Times

1424
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 11: and again we're looking at a really small sample. SIZE

1425
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 11: i want to give the, guy you, know to give

1426
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:39,799
Speaker 11: the guy a fair shot, here but, Look Spencer steer

1427
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 11: is that person. ALL i don't think it would be

1428
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 11: the end of the world if he had to play.

1429
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 11: There and, also to go along with, THAT i didn't

1430
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 11: Mind Dave myers and center AND Tj friedel in that,

1431
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 11: yesterday and that could that's a situation where If Spencer

1432
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 11: steers displaced from left field where he could slot into

1433
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 11: that third. Base so and, look you Mentioned south he

1434
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 11: has experienced. THERE i won't delabor this and talk too

1435
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 11: long on, it BUT i JUST i they have the

1436
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 11: versatility and the depth to get through this and and

1437
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 11: not sacrifice offensively or, defensively because last year they had

1438
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 11: like WHAT i like to call kind of crudely like half,

1439
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 11: players guys who could either play the. Field, yeah but

1440
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 11: maybe we didn't have the bat or they could, hit

1441
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 11: but defensive liability they. Have it feels like this whole

1442
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 11: roster is full of full of like full, players if

1443
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 11: that makes. Sense SO i do think they have some

1444
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:40,520
Speaker 11: options there if they ever decided, that you, Know kibriant's

1445
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 11: bat is just becoming too much of a. Angrance and

1446
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 11: we're not there yet, Anyway.

1447
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 2: It's been only three, games, obviously But South stewart has

1448
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:52,240
Speaker 2: just knocked the cover off the. Baseball how do you

1449
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 2: explain what has made him so good and Why Terry

1450
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 2: francona is so comfi and putting him in that cleanup

1451
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 2: spot between Day La cruz And.

1452
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 11: Suarez, yeah, Well i'm sure that you've seen and some

1453
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 11: of your listeners will have Seen francona's explanation like early

1454
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:13,839
Speaker 11: explanations of that when he first appeared in the cleanup

1455
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 11: spot late in spring, training which is That sal runs

1456
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 11: the basis really. Well we're all enamored by the bat,

1457
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,600
Speaker 11: like there's no question about, that but there are some

1458
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:27,640
Speaker 11: other fit like he fields the ball really. WELL i

1459
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 11: was watching him do like the cut off drills and

1460
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 11: basically just fielding, drills and there was some. Cutoff there

1461
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 11: was some cut off stuff involved in spring. Training he's

1462
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 11: excellent at that. Stuff and another thing that maybe doesn't

1463
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 11: get talked about it how smart he is running the.

1464
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 11: Basis he took second on in a moment, yesterday tags

1465
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 11: up and took second and it was just like just

1466
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 11: a simple but heads up. Play maybe it wasn't expected

1467
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 11: By boston in that. Moment so the idea there obviously

1468
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:03,200
Speaker 11: is that If sal runs the base as, well it

1469
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 11: creates but basically when you boil it, down MORE rbi

1470
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 11: opportunities For Gino. Suarez that worked out well. Yesterday, obviously that,

1471
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 11: theory BUT i think it Benefits. Sal you, know, look

1472
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 11: he's a rookie by, definition BUT i do think it

1473
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:24,759
Speaker 11: benefits him that he got called up in some member

1474
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 11: of last year and had a chance to get you,

1475
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 11: know get, acclimated and then went into the pressure cooker

1476
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 11: of the playoffs At Dodger stadium and performed well. There

1477
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 11: so he's also confident because he succeeded in all those

1478
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 11: spots and continues to. SUCCEED i think he hit well

1479
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 11: in spring. Training he should be. Confident so there's a

1480
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:50,879
Speaker 11: body of work that's amassing here pretty quickly to indicate

1481
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 11: that this guy is you, KNOW i thought it was

1482
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 11: great yesterday When Terry francona kind of corrected himself in

1483
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 11: characterizing sal as an advanced young. Hitter he really doesn't

1484
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 11: have anything to do with. It he's just an advanced.

1485
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,479
Speaker 11: Hitter frankcona, Said so that's that's what you get With

1486
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 11: salt right.

1487
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 7: Now and it's really.

1488
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 2: Fun turning the attention to tonight The pirates come to.

1489
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:15,640
Speaker 2: Town Chase burns is on the. Mound he kind of

1490
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 2: had like a dload situation as they described it in.

1491
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 2: Spring he recovered nicely in that tune up game against The.

1492
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,720
Speaker 2: Brewers what is the plan For Chase burns from what

1493
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 2: you've been able to gather tonight and moving?

1494
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 11: FORWARD i like Wherett lauder is. At you, know they've

1495
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 11: like he's still at a point where he's not stretched,

1496
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 11: out as they like to say in baseball, ism you,

1497
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 11: know baseball talking for anyone who doesn't know what the

1498
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,560
Speaker 11: heck that. Means just means like his arm basically just

1499
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 11: is only conditioned up to a certain, point and he's

1500
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:51,599
Speaker 11: not at Me he's probably not at one hundred pitches,

1501
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 11: yet so they want to get them stretched. OUT i

1502
01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 11: Thought Rhet lauder could be done after the fourth inning,

1503
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 11: yesterday and they sent him back out for the fifth

1504
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 11: and he ended up at eighty six. Pitches SO i

1505
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 11: think you could see something similar With Dave. Burns AND

1506
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 11: i do think that he took a step forward late

1507
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 11: in spring and.

1508
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 7: In The milwaukee, game like you.

1509
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 11: Mentioned so as long as he's you, know if he

1510
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 11: can pound his own early and put up some scoreless,

1511
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 11: FRAMES i would have every confidence that they'll they'll give

1512
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 11: him as much leash as he encourages them to allow.

1513
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 11: Him SO i think you're probably looking at about eighty five.

1514
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 11: Pitches but however far he can get with, that you,

1515
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 11: know they didn't have to Use Jose franco at any

1516
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,879
Speaker 11: point during The he's a length guy who would potentially

1517
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:53,639
Speaker 11: backfill for like a short a shorter than expected. Start

1518
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:55,719
Speaker 11: they didn't have to use him against The Red, sox

1519
01:26:55,960 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 11: So Jose franco is. Available and but that's If chase

1520
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 11: doesn't do his, thing AND i think you will.

1521
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:08,880
Speaker 2: Tonight talking To Pat brennan Covering Thereds cincinnati Dot com

1522
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,800
Speaker 2: BEFORE i let you, go THE abs system was on

1523
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:17,560
Speaker 2: full display On. SATURDAY i think The reds kind of

1524
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 2: have built themselves a plan and it's turned into an

1525
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 2: advantage for. THEM i, mean how do you see this shaping?

1526
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 2: Up not obviously The. REDS i feel LIKE i have

1527
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 2: a bit of a leg up on everybody at the,

1528
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 2: moment but like the reaction to it Across Major League

1529
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 2: baseball as. Well and what do we know about The

1530
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 2: reds philosophy when it comes to these.

1531
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 11: Challenges that's a great, question because we really had. To

1532
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 11: we were every five to seven days once the game

1533
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 11: started in Good, year we would Ask, terry, well how

1534
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:53,719
Speaker 11: IS abs? Going what's the philosophy? There and they played

1535
01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 11: it close to the, vest and obviously it would make.

1536
01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:57,720
Speaker 11: Sense it stood the reason you wanted to have at

1537
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,559
Speaker 11: least one in your back pocket for the potential high

1538
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 11: leverage situations laid. On but you've seen it. Now terry

1539
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 11: is talking about him playing terms now that we're playing meningful,

1540
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 11: games and, basically if it is in the early, innings

1541
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 11: you have to be one hundred percent sure if you're

1542
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:17,639
Speaker 11: going to challenge a, pitch whether That's Tyler stevenson behind

1543
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 11: the plate or one of the, battles you've got to be.

1544
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 11: Sure and now there's a case study in The Red

1545
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 11: sox And Roman anthony and how he really kind of

1546
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 11: stuck it to himself unintentionally and the rest of his

1547
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 11: team On saturday when he burned their second, challenge their

1548
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 11: second and final challenge before extra innings in the third

1549
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 11: that really hurt them on a day When Cebe bucker

1550
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 11: was not having a good, day falling pauls and. Strikes

1551
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 11: so The reds are they have really shown Discipline terry

1552
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:53,919
Speaker 11: talked about in that. Game, actually going back To, Saturday

1553
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 11: Jose travino was in a spot cut two spots and

1554
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,639
Speaker 11: two separate bats where he could have been fitted from

1555
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 11: going with AN abs, challenge but he held off because

1556
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 11: it's just not worth the, risk because you knew you

1557
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 11: needed to have. One later on because of the nature

1558
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 11: of that game and it was so, tight and, yeah

1559
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 11: when things go their, way they are going to have

1560
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 11: at least one for the ladder for the latter stages

1561
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 11: of the. Game and, YEAH i mean THEY i thought

1562
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 11: they would Be South STEWARD i think is really good

1563
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 11: with the. Challenges another thing to love about. Him AND

1564
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 11: i just GOT i got a sense Throughout spring that

1565
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 11: The reds really looked like they had a really sharp

1566
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 11: eye for this. Stuff and again only three, games but

1567
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 11: that's proven to be true so. Far so it's it's

1568
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:48,960

1619
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:40,880
Speaker 13: Saying but you know WHAT i think is the most

1620
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:46,360
Speaker 13: impressive or optimistic thing about The reds right now is

1621
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 13: the team in the era they've pitched, WELL i mean

1622
01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 13: they're fifteenth in but that's in the WHOLE. Mlb so

1623
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 13: that's pretty good considering we don't Have green And. Ladolo

1624
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 13: So i'm optimistic about, uh you, know the young guys

1625
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:07,120
Speaker 13: and and and dude pushing. Tonight SO i think it's,

1626
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:10,080
Speaker 13: UH i think We're Brandon, williamson WHO i still think

1627
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 13: is gonna have a will here as a left. Hander

1628
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:18,480
Speaker 13: don't you think they're starting pitching is? Optimistic, YEAH i think.

1629
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 2: YEAH i think there's a little bit of like a

1630
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 2: cause for concern a little bit because of What pat

1631
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:27,320
Speaker 2: mentioned that nobody's fully stretched, out and that's some innings

1632
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:31,040
Speaker 2: that the bullpen is going to have to. Cover and you,

1633
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 2: KNOW i don't think that's the worst thing in the,

1634
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 2: world but it does just kind of make you wonder

1635
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:39,560
Speaker 2: about the longevity of that, bullpen at least in this

1636
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:42,280
Speaker 2: early part of the. Season But Rhet louder is a

1637
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:44,639
Speaker 2: perfect example of what they. Need they need a guy

1638
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 2: to be pitch, efficient not be afraid to pitch the,

1639
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 2: contact let your defense play behind, you and he got

1640
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 2: through five innings pretty. Efficiently they need each of the

1641
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:56,760
Speaker 2: starters to be able to do something like. That And

1642

01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 2: to get confused With Graham, ashcraft But Braxton ashcraft will

1740
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:27,680
Speaker 2: go For pittsburgh. Tonight here is What Chase burns did

1741
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 2: last season Against. Pittsburgh he faced The pirates, twice and

1742
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:34,040
Speaker 2: this is a much Different pirate lineup than it was

1743
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:38,840
Speaker 2: a year. Ago but he Faced pittsburgh. Twice he started one.

1744
01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:42,599
Speaker 2: Game he went six, innings gave up three, hits one earned,

1745
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:46,640
Speaker 2: run and struck out, ten but The reds lost the.

1746
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 2: Game he pitched once in relief Against, pittsburgh where he

1747
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,439
Speaker 2: pitched two, innings gave up no hits and struck out,

1748
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:58,280
Speaker 2: three and The reds lost in that. Game that seems

1749
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 2: to be relatively Typical pirates so far after a series

1750
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:05,240
Speaker 2: In queens against The mets are averaging just over four

1751
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:08,880
Speaker 2: runs a. Game The reds are averaging just three runs per.

1752
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:13,240
Speaker 2: Game Braxton ashcraft has pitched in two games against The.

1753
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 2: Reds in those two, games he's combined for seven to

1754
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:18,960
Speaker 2: two thirds innings pitched with a three point five to TWO,

1755
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:24,160
Speaker 2: era ten strikeouts and two. Walks, now two of The

1756
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,880
Speaker 2: reds in the lineup, Tonight Spencer steer and Key Brian,

1757
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 2: hayes they have multiple hits Against Braxton. Ashcrift they each have.

1758
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 13: TWO.

1759
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:35,479
Speaker 2: Tj friedel is the Only red with an extra base

1760
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:39,759
Speaker 2: hit against him when he doubled against him last. Season

1761
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 2: but this is a big start For Chase, Burns it's

1762
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 2: big start for The reds. Bullpen we mentioned That burns

1763
01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:48,400
Speaker 2: kind of had a d load, situation and the reason

1764
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 2: he had the d load situation is because he didn't

1765
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:54,680
Speaker 2: quite have the range of motion in his arm that

1766
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 2: they were looking for in spring. Training and it's felt

1767
01:40:57,600 --> 01:41:01,400
Speaker 2: multiple times like The reds are trying to establish how

1768
01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:04,400
Speaker 2: to be a professional on how to establish a routine

1769
01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:07,640
Speaker 2: For Chase. Burns and so Last friday On sincy three,

1770
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:11,640
Speaker 2: sixty we Had Charlie goldsmith on AND i asked him

1771
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 2: about the idea of this being like a maturity thing

1772
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 2: and like a learning how to be a professional. Thing

1773
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:22,920
Speaker 2: here was my question In charlie's answer From, friday a

1774
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:26,320
Speaker 2: follow up On, burns we've heard like the routine thing

1775
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:29,240
Speaker 2: between starts and kind of figuring out how to be

1776
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 2: a big league, pitcher a big league. Starter do you

1777
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 2: think this is my? Word is this the right? Word

1778
01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 2: like the maturity of learning how to do that is

1779
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:41,200
Speaker 2: something that they are working on With Chase. Burns maturity is.

1780
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 9: Not a bad.

1781
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 14: Thing, like we don't have time right, now BUT i

1782
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 14: could tell you about the story and the journey That

1783
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 14: Hunter green went, on That abbott went. On lodola's journey

1784
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 14: was more specifically injury. Related but like Even Andrew, rabbit

1785
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:54,679
Speaker 14: we would all, say this is a very mature. Guy

1786
01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:56,519
Speaker 14: he had to learn what the.

1787
01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:57,840
Speaker 2: Heck he was supposed to do between.

1788
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 14: Starts, yeah Like, BURNS i locked in on him on

1789
01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:04,320
Speaker 14: his last workday good, year and he was working a

1790
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:07,519
Speaker 14: lot about like kind of his stride coming down the

1791
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,400
Speaker 14: mound And Derek johnson was very hands on right, there

1792
01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:12,519
Speaker 14: kind of working on the angle and the pacing and

1793
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 14: the timing, downhill so they were adding that in and

1794
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 14: then after the bullpen he threw in the final day of,

1795
01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:20,640
Speaker 14: spring he got some work in With, robin who you,

1796
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:23,759
Speaker 14: know very. TALENTED i believe technically she's like the plate's.

1797
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:26,479
Speaker 14: INSTRUCTOR i don't want to demonistrate or to limit her

1798
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 14: title to just that she works with a lot of that,

1799
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:32,360
Speaker 14: flexibility mobility type, stuff and he was doing some OF

1800
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,920
Speaker 14: i guess some strength is the wrong, word but probably

1801
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 14: range of motion and athletic training with, her so that

1802
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:41,160
Speaker 14: can probably help him be where he needs to.

1803
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:44,200
Speaker 2: BE i thought that was an interesting thing because you,

1804
01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:47,040
Speaker 2: know The Chase burns is still a really young. Guy

1805
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:49,439
Speaker 2: he has had a cup of coffee in the big.

1806
01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 2: Leagues The reds believe strongly in him and spent a

1807
01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:55,600
Speaker 2: high pick on. Him but there are things that you,

1808
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:58,639
Speaker 2: know once you get to this, level it's not as

1809
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:01,839
Speaker 2: easy as just relying on the arm, talent just relying

1810
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:04,360
Speaker 2: on the. Velocity you do have to learn how to,

1811
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 2: pitch and you have to learn how to take care

1812
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:09,439
Speaker 2: of your body and most notably as a starting. Pitcher

1813
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 2: you have to figure out what you need to do

1814
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 2: in those four or five days between your starts so

1815
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:18,080
Speaker 2: that you're ready to go when your day. Comes and

1816
01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 2: it has felt like to me that that's something that

1817
01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:21,479
Speaker 2: The reds are trying to.

1818
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:23,519
Speaker 7: Get.

1819
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:27,479
Speaker 2: Right With Chase. Burns it looked like it worked in

1820
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 2: his start Against milwaukee up there for those couple of

1821
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:34,519

Speaker 2: guy who had battled through all this stuff and had

1852
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 2: been through all this crap that he'd had to deal

1853
01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:34,880

1859
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:54,719
Speaker 2: happened In atlanta At Truest. Park The braves were taken

1860
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:58,120
Speaker 2: on The Kansas City royals and The braves had trailed

1861
01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 2: most of the game and came back to tie at

1862
01:46:01,160 --> 01:46:04,799
Speaker 2: two to two bottom of the ninth, inning bases loaded

1863
01:46:05,040 --> 01:46:08,800

01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:22,720

1872
01:46:44,360 --> 01:46:49,120
Speaker 2: The braves fan who caught the ball saw and found

1879
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:13,960

Speaker 2: Coaches we are not expected to hear From Duke, tobin

1883
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 2: Although duke is, there we saw photo evidence of him.

1884
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:31,680
Speaker 2: Today And Katie blackburn is not going to be talking as.

1885
01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:34,599
Speaker 2: Well she did talk at these meetings a year, ago

1886
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:38,880
Speaker 2: and it was at that point where she had was

1887
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:44,160
Speaker 2: discussing The Trey hendrickson negotiations and basically, said If i'm

1888
01:47:44,200 --> 01:47:46,640
Speaker 2: not If i'm not, mistaken she said something along the

1889
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:49,840
Speaker 2: lines of you either take it or leave or leave it,

1890
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,600
Speaker 2: basically and then that turned Into trey showing up To

1891
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:56,479
Speaker 2: OTAs and, YadA, YadA. YadA so maybe The bengals are

1892
01:47:56,520 --> 01:47:58,160
Speaker 2: just trying to, say all, right we'll just wait and

1893
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:01,519
Speaker 2: talk to you an other. Time ALTHOUGH i don't know

1894
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:05,800
Speaker 2: that there's a bunch of significant issues That katie could

1895
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:08,639
Speaker 2: get herself in hot water, with at LEAST i don't think.

1896
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 2: So the biggest questions would be about The Dax hill

1897
01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:17,720
Speaker 2: AND Dj turner, extensions about not signing a, linebacker which

1898
01:48:17,760 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 2: they still haven't, done and also about maybe the frustrations

1899
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:25,160
Speaker 2: of One Joe. Burrow BUT i think those are all

1900
01:48:25,200 --> 01:48:28,120
Speaker 2: pretty easy. QUESTIONS i would think that you would be

1901
01:48:28,160 --> 01:48:31,760
Speaker 2: able to, ask what else do we? Have what else

1902
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 2: happened over the? Weekend by the, way this is a

1903
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 2: crazy thing to. Me THE nfl and THE Nfl Referees

1904
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 2: association are in disagreement about their plan and their future

1905
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 2: together In THE nfl is trying to come up with

1906
01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 2: a deal to lock in these referees that have been

1907
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:53,160
Speaker 2: doing it for a long. Time and this is. CRAZY

1908
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:57,160
Speaker 2: i don't like to read off a, story BUT i

1909
01:48:57,200 --> 01:48:59,840
Speaker 2: don't know how else to explain. It how about? This

1910
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:03,160
Speaker 2: this is FROM espn. Quote the owners are alarmed that

1911
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:06,519
Speaker 2: this negotiation has been as challenging as it's. Been according

1912
01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:09,040
Speaker 2: to a league source, quote they are alarmed that the

1913
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:14,360
Speaker 2: union has resisted the performance and accountability. Measures those measures

1914
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:19,160
Speaker 2: include increasing the probationary period for new officials from three

1915
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:22,880
Speaker 2: years to five, years shortening the dead period during the

1916
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 2: offseason to allow for more, training including a requirement for

1917
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:30,120
Speaker 2: lower performing officials to work spring football games to help

1918
01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:34,920
Speaker 2: improve their, performances reducing the seniority based approach to covering

1919
01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:39,600
Speaker 2: playoff games and largely replacing it with assignments based on. Performance,

1920
01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:43,760
Speaker 2: quote we really want to follow this, model which is

1921
01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:46,800
Speaker 2: the NFL's kind OF dna of you pay for. Performance

1922
01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:49,400
Speaker 2: the league source, said you have to perform every. Day

1923
01:49:49,520 --> 01:49:52,000
Speaker 2: players do, it coaches do, it lawyers do, it owners do,

1924
01:49:52,120 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 2: it and we continue trying to test ourselves and. Improve

1925
01:49:56,640 --> 01:50:00,639
Speaker 2: and for some reason THE Nfl referee associated is against.

1926
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:02,639
Speaker 2: That and, oh by the, way you're getting a six

1927
01:50:02,680 --> 01:50:06,559
Speaker 2: and a half percent raise every single, time every single

1928
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:09,800
Speaker 2: year as. WELL i don't quite understand, it especially when

1929
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:11,960
