00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: least connect us with our guy, Charlie Goldsmith here right.

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: I think I think it works, Charlie.

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Hello, how are you.

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 4: Tony?

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: Is that you, Charlie? It's so good to hear your voice,

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: a voice of reason and leadership in these times.

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 5: How's Burk?

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: Why would you go right there, Charlie? Why would you

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: dive right into that? If there's one guy an ally

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: that I think I have that I'm going to talk to,

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: it's going to be you. So I'll ask you, then,

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: what'd you make of Wes Miller's post game comments last

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: night and the emotion behind them?

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 6: I wish that over the last five years I got

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 6: to get a better feel for Wes as a as

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 6: a as a person. One of the things that are

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 6: important to him? What are his interests? Just because now

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 6: you see a guy who it feels like you barely

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 6: got to know, you barely got to know really what

25
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 6: his basketball philosophy were, and then kind of what his

26
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 6: whole approach for building this whole thing was going to be.

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 6: You have all that and then you feel like it's

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 6: already over and you never really got to experience the

29
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 6: real thing. So, oh no, those are my emotions with

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 6: with UC basketball. I was there as well.

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: It was a tough one, very tough. Let's just also

32
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: clear this up because I know you sent out a

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 2: tweet about it as well. Ellie de la Cruz wasn't

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: just joy riding on a dart bike, right, that was

35
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: just a video shoot and then he got off the bike.

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 6: You've got all the information I got. There was the

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 6: video with him all the bike, the Reds. Brad Metter

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 6: throw me put out a statement. Talk to Ellie. Ellie

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 6: was just doing a video, is what Brad told me.

40
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: Uh the uh, the the Reds and the old Baseball Classic.

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: I know Suarez is going to go play. Suarez is

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: a proven commodity. You know what you're getting out of Suarez.

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: You know where he's going to be in the lineup.

44
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: Talk to me a little bit about Edwin Arroyo, because

45
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: here's a guy that plays a spot in the field

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: where the Reds need some depth after moving on from

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: Gavin Lux and while spring training is going to be happening,

48
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: Edwin Arroyo will be participating in the World Baseball Classic.

49
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: How do you feel about kind of towing that line

50
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: if you're Edwin Arroyo of trying to make a roster

51
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: spot but also playing for your country.

52
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 6: I think if you could have given me one Reds

53
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 6: prospect who I would want the most in the World

54
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 6: Baseball Classic, it would be him. I don't view him

55
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 6: as a guy who's competing for first bottle on the team.

56
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 6: I kind of view him and roll your eyes. Obviously

57
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 6: this guy didn't work out, But to me, he feels

58
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 6: in a similar spot right now to the spot that

59
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 6: Jose Barrero was in entering twenty twenty one. Of course,

60
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 6: Barrera debuted in twenty but that was its own thing.

61
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 6: But starting the year in triple A, let's see how

62
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 6: hot the back gets. If there's a need at at

63
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 6: Royal's position in the middle infield, he they view as

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 6: important organizational depths. You know, if nobody wants this, But

65
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 6: if Lly rolls his ankle and it's June, Edward will

66
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 6: be an option, but then as hot as he gets

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 6: offensively will determine kind of his timeline to make the team.

68
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 6: And he's a fascinating guy. But I'll just kind of

69
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 6: say this too. With the World Baseball Classic, Puerto Rico

70
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 6: had all of the the insurance problems. They were impacted

71
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 6: the most. They're hosting. This was gonna be a huge

72
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 6: year for them, but then Correa and Lindor, two short stops,

73
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 6: couldn't get insured. So no pressure. Kid Edwin Arroyo thrown

74
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 6: into a team hosting with high expectations because they've got

75
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 6: a lot of talent playing a premium position. It'll be

76
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 6: a good chance for him to really stretch himself and

77
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 6: see where he's at.

78
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: Ellie day La Cruz the expected jump in the leap

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: that he can take year to year in his progression

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: as a major League baseball player, And obviously there were

81
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: the the injuries last year that he was playing through.

82
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: So he's going to start the season healthy. He's got

83
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: another full offseason under his belt, and now he has

84
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: protection in the lineup that he hasn't had in years past.

85
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: Where do you put the ceiling, Charlie on the type

86
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: of season Ellie de la Cruz can have could we

87
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: at the very top of it? Could you talk about

88
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: a guy in MVP considerations or what's that ceiling in your.

89
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 6: Opinion, I mean, he was an MVP conversations in twenty

90
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 6: twenty four on the lower end of the top ten,

91
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 6: but I mean in the way he was playing for

92
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 6: the first CEP at twenty five was the top five

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 6: to top ten MVP level performance we've seen it. I

94
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 6: think Suarez makes his life a lot easier. I think

95
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 6: what you felt so much from Ellie and the underdiscussed

96
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 6: thing of his second half was all right, we know

97
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 6: he had the quad, we know he had the mechanical

98
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 6: stuff he was working through. But then a part of

99
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: it as well was a guy who was stuck on

100
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 6: nineteen homers, who was in the worst slump of his life,

101
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 6: who had to carry a team, and you could feel

102
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 6: that like it was tough on Ellie individual and having

103
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 6: a guy in Suarez both logistically and kind of emotionally

104
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 6: behind him in the lineup, I think takes a lot

105
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 6: of pressure off him and I think makes it realistic

106
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 6: when you added the help as well to I mean,

107
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 6: I expect a career year from Eli in twenty twenty six.

108
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: Andrew Abbott, one of the best pitchers on this staff

109
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: last year, is one of those players that maybe could

110
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: be in line to get an extension done. And the

111
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: Reds have done this in the past, They've tried to

112
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: do it with others. You see teams in Major League

113
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: Baseball get out of this a lot as well. Does

114
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: Andrew Abbot and an extension? Does that become a reality

115
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: between now and opening Day? And your opinion it could.

116
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 6: Extension conversations in baseball are really difficult to nail down.

117
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 6: What I know is the Reds have talked to a

118
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 6: lot of these guys. The markets for extensions are very

119
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 6: kind of fickle when you bake an arbitration and kind

120
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 6: of the changing math, plus how some mystery collect and

121
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 6: bargaining agreement that would come next year, could you shake

122
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 6: up kind of the mass of how guys on their

123
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 6: rookie contracts get paid. But I know the Reds you're

124
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 6: interested in a lot of their young guys. I would

125
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 6: assume hap it's a part of that as well. But

126
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 6: these conversations typically very quietly happen around the league and

127
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 6: with the Reds. After the guy gets to spring training

128
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 6: and then you see them wrapped up around April before

129
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 6: or after opening day. So I would bet the conversations

130
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 6: kind of follow a similar timeline and we'll see if

131
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 6: something gets done or something doesn't get done.

132
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: We heard from Nick Krawl talking about spring training reps,

133
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: and while we just mentioned Edwin Arroyo's absence, South Stewart

134
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 2: is gonna get reps at first, second, third, Spencer Steeer

135
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: is gonna get reps at first and second, and in

136
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: the outfield as well, and left and right field. What

137
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 2: does this all mean for Matt McClain. Is this in

138
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: order to justify maybe the least being shorter for Mount McClain.

139
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: Is it just built in to get these guys reps.

140
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: Does anything that's happening or what we've heard from Nick

141
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: Krawl directly impact Matt McLain in your opinion.

142
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 6: Guy, it was just the question that we've talked about before,

143
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 6: is who's going to be the backup second basement on

144
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 6: the day where Matt needs off or when Ellen needs

145
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 6: off and Matt moves to short. Now if it's May

146
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 6: and he's hitting one ninety again, you know, let's open

147
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 6: a conversation. But how many times have we heard the emphasis,

148
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 6: the emphasis that the Reds are placing on defense, Pee

149
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 6: the Cabrian Hayes Straight and a bunch of other examples

150
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 6: as well. That emphasis on defense. One of the biggest

151
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 6: pieces of that is having an elite defender at a

152
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 6: premium position and second baseman Matt maclain and then and

153
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 6: this applies to a Row as well, and I didn't

154
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 6: get to say this when I was talking about him.

155
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 6: With both of those guys, something that's just a fact

156
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 6: in baseball is that guys aren't themselves in their first

157
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 6: full year back from shoulder surgery. I remember I wrote

158
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 6: about this in twenty twenty four when that had just

159
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 6: had the surgery, and that was a part of the

160
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 6: story of his twenty twenty five season. You, Sawn and

161
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 6: with Edwin as well. You saw the eggs of velocities

162
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 6: climb over the course of the year. And I think

163
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 6: the expectation is there more back to their real self.

164
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 6: I think claim should be a top half of the

165
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 6: order guy by the second half of the season. I'm

166
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 6: a MacLaine guy, but there's no competition right now for

167
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 6: that starting second base spot.

168
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: As you get set to go out to Arizona, Charlie

169
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: is there anything kind of under the radar that maybe

170
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: has slipped through the cracks that maybe we haven't talked

171
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: about very much, that you're interested in finding out about

172
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: about this ball club.

173
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 6: I think the hidden kind of guy is the Welby

174
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 6: Marthe when you look at the difference between the ceiling

175
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 6: and the floor, you look at the fact that, I

176
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 6: mean even last year, you know whatn't an unbelievable season,

177
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 6: but the fact that Loby was carrying this team. But

178
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 6: then he was cool in September and he got a

179
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 6: few days off, including one of the playoffs as well.

180
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 6: So like who he is with his first full year

181
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 6: and right field, the style of hitter he wants to be.

182
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 6: Kind of a mistake he made in twenty four was

183
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 6: chasing stardom by chasing power as opposed to, you know,

184
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 6: all away from the opposite field approach. That's such a

185
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 6: good foundation for his team. So when you look at

186
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 6: all right, like how are the Reds actually going to contend?

187
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 6: They need stars And you know, Gino's great, but it's Ellie,

188
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 6: it's really McLane and it's Marte as guys who have

189
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 6: to be capable of carrying this offense for the Reds

190
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 6: to really do it.

191
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 3: I kind of want to go back to, like the

192
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: extension thing there. I'm fascinated by what happened with the

193
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: Tigers and Trek school Ball and maybe the trickle down

194
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 3: effect that has. Does that maybe encourage a pitcher to

195
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: wait to sign an extension seeing that that a guy

196
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: like school Ball has won I mean, obviously the guy

197
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 3: that comes to mind as Paul Skeins, but also thinking

198
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: of it in the terms of the Reds, do you

199
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: think that would encourage guys to wait before signing an

200
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: extension or No.

201
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 6: This is so complicated that there's so much I don't

202
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 6: understand about the arbitration process. And I think what you

203
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 6: saw with Scooball was it raised the ceiling for the top, top, top,

204
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 6: top top pitchers who are going to have what they

205
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 6: would call in the arbitration process, something like special excemptions

206
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 6: based on incredible accomplishments or something like that. So like

207
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 6: Scooble did set a precedent now where the top guys

208
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 6: are going to do much better in arbitration. Now, how

209
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 6: does that impact a guy like Nick Gladola, who I

210
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 6: think is really good but probably isn't going to have

211
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 6: any like unbelievable accomplishments like top three and cy Young finish.

212
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 6: You know, maybe maybe, but that's not kind of the

213
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 6: projection for Lodola right now for this year. So you

214
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 6: know wh I'm going with this. I don't know whether

215
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 6: or not it in patch just the upper upper echelon,

216
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 6: you know, or if it filters down to your Nick

217
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 6: Lodola and your rabbit types.

218
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: Two other quick reds questions for you Hector Rodriguez, and

219
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: I know he's highly viewed by this organization. Is he

220
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: kind of next on the list of guys that could

221
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: could make an impact on this roster.

222
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 6: I'm glad you asked about him because I think he's

223
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 6: a guy people need to talk about more. I think

224
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 6: his best lane to make the team at a spring

225
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 6: training kind of went away when they signed Suarez because

226
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 6: Suarez oldh and now zero play more left. But Hector

227
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 6: will be competing to make this team that Nick Cross

228
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 6: told me this, and I know that for a fact

229
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 6: because on September first last year, they were debating whether

230
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 6: or not to call up South or Hector Rodriguez. Everything

231
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 6: we saw from Salin September last year that could have

232
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 6: been Hector and a big part of the tiebreaker there

233
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 6: was just the fact that at the time Thearet's had

234
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 6: already had six outfielders. They were trying to get at

235
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 6: beats too, so adding a seventh out fielder didn't make

236
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 6: a ton of sense. He's not ranked on top one

237
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 6: hundred list because he's a smaller guy. He's not gonna

238
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 6: be like a forty home run guy, and he's got

239
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 6: He's probably an average to below average defender. But this

240
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 6: guy brings a confident, aggressive, go get you a swagger

241
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 6: to the batter's box. I kind of compare that to

242
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 6: Nick Castiados, and he doesn't swing and miss. So my

243
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 6: prediction for him is that he's going to have one

244
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 6: of those very buzzy camps. I think he's going to

245
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 6: hit a lot, and you're gonna ask a lot about him.

246
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 6: In March. I wouldn't have him on the opening day projection,

247
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 6: but then it's May, it's June, he'll play well in

248
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 6: triple A and then he'll come up in a regular role.

249
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: Is there any part of his game that you think

250
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 3: the organization wants to see him improve on, whether it's

251
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 3: been over the course of this offseason or if it's

252
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 3: in the minor leagues at the start of this season.

253
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 3: Do you think there's anything specific so too.

254
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 6: Offensively, he's pretty advanced. But the thing with him has

255
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 6: been he can hit any pitch. He's like the best

256
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 6: bat ball hitter in baseball. But it's marginally and consistently,

257
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 6: you know, incrementally shrinking the zone to make sure you're

258
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 6: swinging the strikes. Keep going with that process, and then

259
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 6: really the defense. He came up as an infielder and

260
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 6: was an infielder until about a couple of years ago.

261
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 6: So just the nuances in the outfield, now, that was

262
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 6: a part of why the Dominican Winner League was so

263
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 6: good for him, to get those consistent reps in the outfield.

264
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 6: He actually made a like an unbelievable player to win

265
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 6: the championship in center field. So good on Hector for

266
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 6: that kind of flashing with gloves. Terry frink Crone has

267
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 6: mentioned this specifically with Hector wanting to see more in

268
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 6: the field for him.

269
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: Charlie. Lastly, on the Reds, I know it's still early February.

270
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: Who's your leader right now to fill that final role

271
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: in the starting rotation.

272
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 6: It's going to be a competition. We all know between Burns,

273
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 6: Louder and Williamson. The way I look at it, and

274
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 6: kind of a sense I get, is that it would

275
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 6: just absolutely be a waste of everyone's time if Chase

276
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 6: Burns do another pitch in the minor leagues. I like,

277
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 6: here's a hot take. I think Chase Burns might be

278
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 6: the most talented pitcher on the team. I think he's

279
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 6: in a good spot to make that job. Now. Every

280
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 6: year have been doing this, there's a starter who's gotten

281
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 6: hurt in spring or has been kind of set back,

282
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 6: you know, delayed progression, like Andrew Rabbits starting last year

283
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 6: on the IL. So you end up, you know, your

284
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 6: competition on February fifth is of what your competition ends

285
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 6: up being on April fifth. I think there's nothing wrong

286
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 6: with having Rett Labor get a couple of starts under

287
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 6: his Belton triple after just missing a full season. Same

288
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 6: with Brandon Williams, and he barely pitched since twenty twenty three.

289
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 6: I give that edge to Burns. I think injuries will

290
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 6: open it up. I will say, though, I'm nervous about

291
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 6: the Red starting pitching depths kind of behind their top eight,

292
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 6: and if that's something that comes up in like August,

293
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 6: that could be a concern.

294
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: I have about this on the Bengals front. The Hall

295
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: of Fame voting and announcement was made last night. It

296
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: did not include Ken Anderson, it did not include Willy Anderson.

297
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: And I feel like everyone in this day and age

298
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: has a take on the Hall of Fame voting and

299
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: how these things come to head. What's your view on

300
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: this whole process, And obviously it hits closer to home

301
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati and Anderson, Ken n Willie are left out again,

302
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: But what's just your take on the process of Hall

303
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: of Fame voting.

304
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 6: I think I have a better understanding of the arbitration

305
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 6: system and how that works. Then Hall of Fame voting

306
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 6: in football it feels like a mess. How small it

307
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 6: is is something that I don't quite understand. And every

308
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 6: year it feels like they're surprises, and that trend continue

309
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 6: this year. And obviously, kenam will you hope to see

310
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 6: them in for everything they accomplished. And there are a

311
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 6: lot of people much smarter and much more connected to

312
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 6: their eras than I that would argue that. But I'm

313
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 6: glad that this year has highlighted just the process as

314
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 6: a whole and has people talking about it.

315
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: Super Bowl's coming up on Sunday, Charlie, I don't know

316
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: if you've heard that or not. Seahawks are favored. We're

317
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: going to make our picks later in the show. We

318
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: want to know who you're picking to win Super Bowl sixty.

319
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 6: I'm picking the Seahawks. This has been kind of my

320
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 6: favorite team in terms of just football x's and no's

321
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 6: watching them in a while. And let's see if I

322
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 6: can come up with a bold prediction. I'm going to

323
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 6: say a Seahawks defensive back score the touchdown. How about that?

324
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I like that. I like that your

325
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: Super Bowl MVP.

326
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 6: Super Bowl MVP. While I have it, ifend back scoring

327
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 6: a touchdown, let me go with I can't quite do it.

328
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 6: Let me go with Cooper Cup.

329
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: Oh, I could see.

330
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 6: The Patriots have the defensive backs to run with JS

331
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 6: and but can they kind of outsmart them and outsavvy

332
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 6: them and kind of go when they make you go

333
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 6: to your number two, go to your number two? And

334
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 6: Cooper Cup kind of does it again?

335
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: Have there been multiple Super Bowl MVPs for a wide receiver.

336
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: I'm thinking Jerry Rice might be the only one.

337
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 6: I don't know. I got nothing. This is not a

338
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 6: super Bowl history guy. I watch every year, but I

339
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 6: never quite got into the hole, like watch the Super

340
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 6: Bowl documentaries thing to catch me up on the sixties, seventies,

341
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 6: eighties and night. I know they're great. I just have

342
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 6: a r under it all.

343
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: We finally something different between us.

344
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: We heard earlier in the week Jamar Chase and T

345
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: Higgins kind of outlined their perfect offseason with Jeffrey Simmons

346
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: and Max Crosby. Is that something you'd be on board with,

347
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: Charlie edding both of those defenders to this defense.

348
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 6: I don't see how the Bengals have the picks to

349
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 6: make a deal like that done. I can tell you this,

350
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 6: like if there were like a Madden style fantasy draft

351
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 6: and the Bengals were picking, like among the whole league,

352
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 6: Max Crosby would be very very very very high on

353
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 6: their board. Like he is a guy and so Simons

354
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 6: of Chris, but like Krogby is a guy specifically who

355
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 6: I know they love. But for a team that needs

356
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 6: to get young and stay young and add long term

357
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 6: upside on defense, I don't see they're having the picks

358
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 6: to get that deal done. But they do love klwds.

359
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite Winter Olympic event that you

360
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: like to watch?

361
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 6: You know, that's another thing. I don't check the box one.

362
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 6: I got nothing Winter Olympics. I got nothing Nascar. I

363
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 6: hope everyone enjoyed it. I almost did a story once

364
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 6: on the best curler in the City of Cincinnati, but

365
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 6: that didn't quite work out. Other than that, it's probably

366
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 6: just because I was never a skier, snowboarder or anything

367
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 6: like that.

368
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 7: I just never got into the Winter Olympics fair enough.

369
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: Charlie Goldsmith, what is uh? What's the easiest way? And

370
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: I got to imagine it's how how difficult at times?

371
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 2: Does it become dealing with guys like Jeremy Row and

372
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: Joe Daniman. So often are they call? Yeah? I do

373
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 2: they bother you during calls?

374
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 6: Yeah?

375
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: They send us. They send us pictures of you while

376
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: you're on the phone with us.

377
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 6: I did see Joe thought he was being sneaky taking

378
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 6: that photo, but but I saw it. I was ready

379
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 6: for the moment.

380
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: Is Joe okay understanding that his warriors have kind of

381
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 2: just thrown in the white towel on Steph Curry's career?

382
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 3: Oh wow?

383
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 6: I thought you were just asking, is Joe okay in general?

384
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 6: And I can answer that. I like that the Warriors

385
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 6: are going out nobly, They're still trying to win. They're

386
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 6: letting steps, you know, entertain the masses, which is what

387
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 6: he should do as opposed to doing what like the

388
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 6: Bucks have done and just being paralyzed by your own

389
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 6: fear of your star.

390
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: Wow, well said Charlie. Uh, the easiest way to follow

391
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: along with everything I know you're getting ready to go

392
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 2: to spring training read Bengals and everything in between. The

393
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 2: easiest ways.

404
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 3: I'm not he puts too much effort into other things.

405
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: Fair apparently not super Bowl history. That's also true. That's

406
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 3: one of shock. That's one of my nerdy things. I

Speaker 4: we were once again sent to bed without Ken Anderson

440
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 4: making the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Now I'm hearing

441
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 4: the soccer seasons about to start again. I don't know

442
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 4: if I can take much more. Fellas I got to

443
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 4: drop out of the race.

444
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I had found out earlier in the

445
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: week that Ken Anderson didn't make it, and I was

446
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: really like holding on to hope that Willie would get in.

447
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: I really thought Willy Anderson was getting in, yeah, and

448
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: then he posted that tweet and I was just hoping

449
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: that it was just like, Okay, he's just trying to

450
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: get us. Yeah, he's just trying to with everybody. And

451
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: then I was like, okay, well maybe Ted Carras will

452
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 3: win the Man of the Year award. He didn't do

453
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,679

Speaker 2: since that talkback has left. Hideki Matsuyama is seven under

469
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: through thirteen holes today. Wow, he now leads Chris got

470
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: her up. Doesn't t off until three o'clock today.

471
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: He did what with her?

472
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: He's in second, So we're we're we're trending in the

473
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: right direction. Now. A little disappointing because Dipple Boy sent

474
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: a photo earlier with John Daly. He's golfing and John

475
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: Daly is with him today, and yet John Daly didn't

476
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: leave a talkback. That's a little disappointing.

477
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 11: What's up, guys, Victahunigh Kentucky boy, wes Miller's did it

478
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 11: to us again?

479
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 5: Any tone?

480
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 11: This guy will never get another job the way he acts,

481
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 11: and it's time to bring in Jered Calhoun. But let

482
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 11: me tell you something, now, Tony, let me tell you

483
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 11: Jered Calhoun. He's got assist and he took from the

484
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 11: NKU named Eric House pretty much runs his defense out there.

485
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 5: That guy's a punk. He's a dweed.

486
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 12: I've had some personal interaction with him. He played on

487
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 12: the Kent State Oh two.

488
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 5: He's e eighteen, but he's a.

489
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 12: Punk, first class punk. I'll run his name through the

490
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 12: mud the whole time he's at UC. I hope he

491
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 12: don't bring in with him. He's a punk.

492
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 2: Wow. Now, I'm not completely sold on Calhoun yet, but

493
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: I have a short list.

494
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 12: Sorry for the double dim, but you know the reason

495
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 12: I did like wes Miller started when he had the

496
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 12: nerve to charge the kids forty five dollars at his

497
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 12: camp for a picture with him that wasn't included.

498
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 5: It in the camp price for little kids. You had

499
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 5: to pay an extra forty five with miss Miller.

500
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 12: But when he's going up to the fans apologizing, you

501
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 12: deserve this, deserve more during that if I get some

502
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 12: of your money back, guy, Jim Harball, I'll give.

503
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 5: Him credit for one day he stood on distins at Michigan.

504
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 5: He wouldn't win it. He gave some of that salary back. Hey,

505
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 5: Wes Miller gives the salary back.

506
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 12: Give the forty five dollars you charged the kids.

507
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: For that picture of you.

508
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: Okay, Wow, Jim Harball was so negatively affected by losing

509
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 3: that he began to cheat, and he's besearched the name

510
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: of Michigan. Not that it was much to begin with,

511
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 3: but think about you know, maybe that's what Wes Miller

512
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 3: is going to do. If you don't move on now,

513
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: maybe he'll start to cheat now and then you really

514
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 3: run the program through the month.

515
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: If if you were wondering on the previous talkback, what

516
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: my short list is, Jared Calhoun, Josh Shurtz, the Court

517
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 2: of the Coach at Saint Louis, and then Bruce middle

518
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: name is t yep, Bruce Pearl.

519
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 9: Hey, our fact nation, this is Quiver Boakley. But today

520
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 9: in the groom, whoa. So I thought about Ottie and

521
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 9: his love for football weather. My bride love the idea

522
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 9: of having the winter wedding and having.

523
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 5: The chill in the air.

524
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 9: But when the snow dropped this morning, it was perfect.

525
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 9: Talc mcnason, hope you enjoy your Super Bowl weekend and

526
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 9: go back.

527
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: Well. Congratulations Quinn football weather wedding, I mean a perfectly

528
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: snow capped man cozy wedding. So it's nice too because

529
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 2: the snows is it's moving out. There's no more forecasting,

530
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: so you get the nice white wedding the same clean

531
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 2: layer of snow at the same time you can clean

532
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: it all out. And then I heard that Quinn is

533
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: serving Ridge rush on tap. Oh that's true.

534
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 13: Wow, Hey guys, Jeff and the rich, Happy Friday?

535
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: Is it so?

536
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 13: My Super Bowl prediction, I'm gonna go Seahawks twenty one thirteen.

537
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 2: Wow, Tony.

538
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 13: As far as our Bearcats go, can we please do

539
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 13: one thing? Can we please just stop doing after game

540
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 13: press conferences.

541
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: With the coach.

542
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 13: I would eliminate his weekly radio show as well. There's

543
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 13: nothing to hear anymore.

544
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: Ticket. Yeah, this is it's I don't know, it's tough

545
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: another year.

546
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 14: And that was laughing the face to Ken Anderson and

547
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 14: Willie Anderson.

548
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 5: Ye, nobody more deserving than these guys.

549
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 14: In my opinion on the palette right now. I mean,

550
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 14: just two of the all time greats that their physicians

551
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 14: up it against the other guys that got in just

552
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 14: just absolutely pathetic. I'm almost convinced they can have an

553
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 14: a war for the best Bengal player of the year

554
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 14: and they give it to another player from another team. Yeah,

555
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 14: have a good week and everybody stay safe, stay warm.

556
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 15: Gohread you too, Kevin, thank you, Yeah, Greg, Sharon Bille

557
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 15: you know Tony uh Well, I was at the third

558
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 15: last night and typical emotions shocked away the game and

559
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 15: it also pissed off. But you know more, I thought

560
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 15: about a ride home, just kind of said that on

561
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 15: February sixth, twenty twenty six. This is where Bearcat basketball

562
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 15: is just too much.

563
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: I wish, I genuinely wish I could turn it off.

564
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: I wish I could just not tear, not turn it on,

565
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: not worry about results. I wish I was like that.

566
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: And it does. It affects me, It bothers me. But yeah,

567
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: it's a bad feeling where you just get into February

568
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 2: and you have no chance of making the NCAA tournament.

569
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 2: That's tough.

570
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 5: Hello, Hello, is this thing on?

571
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 6: Hello?

572
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 16: Yep, we're here. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Wes Miller and you

573
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 16: see need to find some way to part in a

574
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 16: friendly way. I don't buy Willie Anderson doesn't get in

575
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 16: because he played on some bad teams. I think that

576
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 16: speaks more to his character than anything that he puts

577
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 16: that much effort in on bad teams. And I'm really

578
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 16: tired about hearing out Ken Anderson didn't win the Super

579
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 16: Bowl when he didn't call the Bready place, and he

580
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 16: retires the best quarterback in the AFC.

581
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't buy the whole anti Bengal bias.

582
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not there.

583
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 3: I don't really buy all that, But I get where

584
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: some people are coming from.

585
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 9: Tony Beastick, it's the Obama O male man out here

586
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 9: in this winter wonderland, trying to get from point A

587
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 9: to point bye.

588
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: I get it right.

589
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 3: It's been a long time, a lot of stuff going

590
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 3: on around here.

591
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 17: Just wanted to say much love of you guys, still listening,

592
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 17: just not calling it as much.

593
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: Sorry, and you guys have another best day ever. Well,

594
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: thank you.

595
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 5: Wow.

596
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: Enjoy the weather, Karl Malin at the enjoy the weather

597
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: shooting too, Tony.

598
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 18: I'm curious on your thoughts on the comparison of Wes

599
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 18: and Zach in the eyes of their own fan bases.

600
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 18: Both seem to be genuinely good people, both not bringing

601
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 18: the results that either of the fan bases want to

602
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 18: get seen at home.

603
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 9: Just curious your thoughts on that comparison.

604
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's spot on, you know, I I

605
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: kind of took it in the same sense. And I

606
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: know Austin recorded and he's got a video out, but

607
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: you know, in in what you Austin portrayed in your

608
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: video is I think the same conversation around Zach Taylor

609
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: with the Bengals. Good dude, great, great person off the field.

610
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: Players coach three straight losing seasons with this roster, and

611
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: it's not good enough that there are, in my opinion,

612
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: comparisons to both.

613
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I disagree with that a little bit.

614
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: I don't.

615
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: I don't think what I don't think Zach Taylor is

616
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: the biggest issue with the Bengals. I think West Mill

617
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 3: is the biggest issue with the Bearcats.

618
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 19: U UC fans are being mean to my boy West Miller.

619
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 19: The Big twelve is a hard conference. I think that

620
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 19: you guys should give them at least five, maybe six, seven, eight,

621
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 19: nine more years.

622
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 5: He'll figure it out.

623
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of like how I thought about James

624
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 3: Franklin at Penn State at Michigan. Keep them around.

625
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,400

00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 3: the pigs in a blanket.

637
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,360

648
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 3: for not doing it.

649
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 7: There can't be a reason for it, and there isn't.

650

Speaker 17: All right, I'm not even gonna talk about that performance

683
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,840

Speaker 6: Yeah.

689
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 3: Every once in a while I pressed the wrong thing

690
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 3: and most of the time I'm just sitting here in silence,

691
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: and then I'll like, I'm gonna like, why is it

696
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,560

697
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,799

698
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 24: older fans some hardware a great season.

699
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 2: And currently they may win eighty.

700
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 24: Five or eighty six games, but I think they need

701
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 24: a guy to replace the dude that's gonna.

702
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: Hit two sixteen.

703
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,000

710
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 21: Anyway, what is it with the NFL and the bias

711
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 21: with the Bengals? I mean, we can't even get our

712
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 21: best players in the Hall of Fame. Ken Anderson seeld

713
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 21: have been in the Hall of Fame a long time ago.

714
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,560

715
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,920

Speaker 21: players man, like real tall.

717
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: What is it with the Bengals?

718
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 21: They punish them because of the ownership, the way they

719
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 21: run a team.

720
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: I'm confused.

721
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of on Austin's. I don't think there's

722
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: a vendetta because they just played in Cincinnati. I really don't.

723
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 2: But there are some things that make it increasingly harder

724
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: to explain that happened. Or don't Ellie on a dirt

725

00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 2: end of their game where I saw Liam arguing with

735
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: the rec league referee more than he was worried about

736
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: what was happening on the court. And he must have

737
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,359

747
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, you're missing the point multiple Super Bowl

748
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 3: MVPs for a wide receiver. Because Cooper Cup is won one.

749
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 3: Let's say he wins it again. Sure this Sunday, that

750
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 3: would be two. I would assume Jerry Rice has two

751
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 3: at least, But I wonder know how many wide receivers

752
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,600

00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,120

Speaker 30: after that.

775
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:17,960

00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 3: this medium. Like I know he loves it profusely, but

777
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,400

00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,640

848
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 2: he was still coaching l SU, and he actually sent

849
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:32,239

853
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:47,239

854
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 23: in the hell would you need a range emotion for

855
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 23: a blocker? I mean he can reach left, he can

856
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 23: reach right. Just close the gap, you'll have more success

857
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 23: instead of using Joe for a trampline.

858
