Speaker 2: Musketeer basketball in advance of the Big East opener tomorrow
Speaker 2: night against Creighton. But in and around that, you on
Speaker 2: a couple of different fronts, and let's start here. The
Speaker 2: previous hour of Red's Hot Stove was filled with guests
Speaker 2: and conversation about the Reds Hall of Fame. If you
Speaker 2: were tuned in, you heard Aaron Harang, you heard Reggie Sanders,
Speaker 2: you heard Rick Walls, you heard Marty Brenneman. I want
Speaker 2: to hear from you. I want to celebrate these four individuals,
Speaker 2: Brandon Phillips and Aaron Harang, and Reggie Sanders and Lou Panela.
Speaker 2: If you have a story, a moment, a memory, a game,
Speaker 2: by all means five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, one,
Speaker 2: eight hundred the Big One. If you'd like to jump in,
Speaker 2: man four A Brandon Phillips for my money. The best
Speaker 2: defensive base second baseman I've seen in Red's history. All
Speaker 2: due respect to Joe Morgan, but Brandon Phillips had a
Speaker 2: shortstop's arm playing second base. He did it with style
Speaker 2: and flair, and there was a little bit of hot
Speaker 2: dog to him, and some relish on that hot dog.
Speaker 2: He had pop. He was a fan favorite. He would
Speaker 2: show up here, there, and everywhere out of the blue,
Speaker 2: four gold gloves, a Silver Slugger, three time All Star,
Speaker 2: Brandon Phillips was. It was masterful in the field and
Speaker 2: again to be playing the second base position. Most guys
Speaker 2: play second base because they don't have the arm to
Speaker 2: play shortstop. He had the arm to play shortstop. He
Speaker 2: happened to be at second base. He was something to watch.
Speaker 2: Aaron Harang consistent, durable, reliable, pitched on some bad teams.
Speaker 2: If you go back to two thousand and six, Aaron
Speaker 2: Harang led the National League in wins. He led the
Speaker 2: National League in starts, in complete games, and in strikeouts,
Speaker 2: and did not get a single vote for the Cy Young.
Speaker 2: The next year he did get votes for the Cy Young.
Speaker 2: I want to talk Aaron Harang and I want to
Speaker 2: talk Brandon Phillips. I want to talk Reggie Sanders because,
Speaker 2: for my money, Reggie Sanders is among a handful of
Speaker 2: the most underrated Reds in franchise history. I think Reggie
Speaker 2: Sanders is one of the most underrated players in baseball history.
Speaker 2: He's in a very exclusive club. There are only eight
Speaker 2: players in the history of the game with at least
Speaker 2: three hundred home runs and three hundred stolen bases. Let
Speaker 2: me repeat that, only eight in the history of the game.
Speaker 2: I want to know that company. Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonds,
Speaker 2: Willie Mays, Alex Rodriguez, Steve Finley, Andre Dawson, Carlos Beltran,
Speaker 2: and Reggie Sanders eight all time. Jose Ramirez this coming
Speaker 2: season for the Guardians, will join that ex exclusive company.
Speaker 2: I think, sadly, Reggie Sanders the perception, the fan perception
Speaker 2: of Reggie Sanders is skewed by the postseason of nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety five. He had a tremendous, fabulous nineteen ninety six
Speaker 2: or nineteen ninety five regular season.
Speaker 3: His postseason was a nightmare.
Speaker 2: And I think unfortunately people tend to remember that before
Speaker 2: they remember what he did for his career. Look at
Speaker 2: his time with the Reds, look at his time as
Speaker 2: a major leaguer over seventeen seasons.
Speaker 3: And then there's Lou Penela. Remember what Lou walked into.
Speaker 2: He walked in on the heels of the chaos involving
Speaker 2: Pete and the investigation and the scandal and the gambling
Speaker 2: under Pete. They had finished second, second, second, second, four
Speaker 2: years in a row and second. Then came the controversy
Speaker 2: and the investigation and the chaos and the suspension and
Speaker 2: they finished fifth that year. Then Lou comes in very
Speaker 2: first season Wire to Wire only managed three years. Years.
Speaker 2: But when's the World Series? Let's spend some time talking
Speaker 2: Brandon and Aaron and Reggie and Lou. Let me open
Speaker 2: up the lines five one, three, seven, four nine, seven thousand, one,
Speaker 2: eight hundred, the big One. When you hear those names,
Speaker 2: what do you think of? What moments, what memories? Let's
Speaker 2: kind of celebrate. We got four going into the Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame.
Speaker 3: We'll hear from you.
Speaker 4: Next.
Speaker 2: It's RNL Carrier Sports Talk. It is presented by Kelsey
Speaker 2: Chevallet and right here on seven hundred WLW seven twenty
Speaker 2: one seven hundred WLWRNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet.
Speaker 2: My guys, stop buying. Tell him.
Speaker 3: I said, Hey, they will take care of you.
Speaker 4: I'm on X.
Speaker 2: If you'd like to contribute to our conversation about the
Speaker 2: four new Reds Hall of Famers Atlance Mecaalis Terra on
Speaker 2: X where you want to jump in by phone? By
Speaker 2: all means five one, three, seven, four nine, seven thousand,
Speaker 2: one eight hundred the big one. Let's talk Hall of
Speaker 2: Famers and BP let's head to Hamilton. Eric, you were
Speaker 2: on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 4: I'm Cornan on Lance.
Speaker 2: You tell me how about Bray Phillips Reds Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4: I grew up.
Speaker 5: I'm in my late thirties. I grew up on Sean Casey,
Speaker 5: Brandon Phillips, Aaron Harang.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 5: That was the class for me. And I went to
Speaker 5: a Bengals game in probably twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, and
Speaker 5: Brandon Phillips was there.
Speaker 6: It was a rainy game.
Speaker 5: I had on my Camo rain gear because I'm a
Speaker 5: deer hut and walk up Brandon Phillips and he goes,
Speaker 5: what are you doing out here killing babies? And he
Speaker 5: gave me a handshake, took a photo with me, and
Speaker 5: I was like he was the most down the earth
Speaker 5: dude I've ever met, and he was the baddest second
Speaker 5: baseman I've ever watched. Just the back flips, the just
Speaker 5: all the all the plays he's made, just turning plays
Speaker 5: behind the back, under the leg all that. I mean,
Speaker 5: he's a Savannah bananas essentially.
Speaker 2: He made it look easy, he made it look smooth,
Speaker 2: and he always he always paid respect to the fans.
Speaker 2: The fans loved him, and he loved the fans back.
Speaker 2: And that's what made Brandon Phillips who he is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's my all time favorite player, that dude
Speaker 5: BP and he and he was he literally he's like, well,
Speaker 5: you know when I heard killing Bambi Camo, I had
Speaker 5: Cama rang here on because it was a rainy bang
Speaker 5: and he were on the bud like that and he
Speaker 5: didn't care. I mean, no worries in the world, no security,
Speaker 5: just hanging out with the fans.
Speaker 4: It was. It was the coolest thing.
Speaker 3: That's Brandon. Hey, Eric, thanks for listening, Thanks for calling.
Speaker 4: All right, thanks Lance, all.
Speaker 2: Right, that's what I'm looking for some stories. You know
Speaker 2: what else I think of when I think of Brandon Phillips.
Speaker 2: There was a consistency to him, to the point of
Speaker 2: it was kind of eerie. In twenty ten he hit
Speaker 2: eighteen home runs. In twenty eleven he hit eighteen home runs,
Speaker 2: in twenty twelve, eighteen home runs. And in twenty let's see, no,
Speaker 2: it was what years? It was ten, eleven, twelve and thirteen,
Speaker 2: four straight years he hit eighteen home runs. How about
Speaker 2: that for consistency doubles by thirty thirty three, thirty eight thirty.
Speaker 2: That was batting average around the mid two seventies. That
Speaker 2: was Brandon Phillips at the plate and in the field,
Speaker 2: slick among the modern era Reds. That's post nineteen hundred.
Speaker 2: Among second basements, he leads in hits, doubles, homers, ribis
Speaker 2: three time All Star, four Gold Gloves, Silver Slugger, voted
Speaker 2: red ZMVP three times, lead National League second basement and
Speaker 2: fielding percentage three times, assist three times, put outs twice.
Speaker 2: His rank top ten all time in Red's history in
Speaker 2: the following categories games, runs, hits, doubles, twelfth all time,
Speaker 2: in homers, eleventh all time in Ribby's fifteenth all time
Speaker 2: in steels thirty thirty season in two thousand and seven,
Speaker 2: part of the two thousand and ten twelve and thirteen
Speaker 2: playoff teams. And I will also say this, when I
Speaker 2: think of Brandon Phillips, I think of Wayne Krivsky. And
Speaker 2: I've always thought that Wayne Krivsky never got the respected
Speaker 2: appreciation that he deserved in his time here former Reds
Speaker 2: general manager.
Speaker 3: It was Wayne.
Speaker 2: Krivsky who swooped in first week in April two thousand
Speaker 2: and six. The Cleveland Indians had dfade Brandon Phillips, designated
Speaker 2: him for assignment. They had ten days to trade him
Speaker 2: or release him, and Wayne Krivsky swoops in and offers
Speaker 2: a player to be named later to get Brandon Phillips,
Speaker 2: classic change of scenery guy. He and the Indians at
Speaker 2: the time didn't see eye to eye. You know, maybe
Speaker 2: that that style and flash and pizzazz, a little bit
Speaker 2: of hot dog getting rubbed some people the wrong way,
Speaker 2: and he was a guy who was in need of
Speaker 2: a change of scenery. Incomes Walt Jockety. Player to be
Speaker 2: named later was actually not named until June of that year.
Speaker 2: It was a pitcher named Jeff Stevens, and Jeff Stevens
Speaker 2: eventually made it to the Big Legs, pitched a little bit,
Speaker 2: a little bit more than a cup of coffee, but
Speaker 2: compared to trast what Brandon Phillips did for this team.
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, Wayne Krivsky traded Willie Mopana
Speaker 2: to get Bronson Arroyo. So Wayne Krivsky in those two
Speaker 2: trades acquired two Red's Hall of famers. Not to che
Speaker 2: Aaron Harang for his career in two thousand and six,
Speaker 2: I mentioned, for whatever reason, he didn't get a single
Speaker 2: Cy Young vote. He led the National League and wins
Speaker 2: sixteen and eleven. He made thirty five starts. Oh can
Speaker 2: you imagine the value of that today through two hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty four innings, six complete games, and led the
Speaker 2: National League in shutouts. He faced more batters than anybody
Speaker 2: else in the National League that year, didn't get a
Speaker 2: vote for Cy Young. The next year he comes back,
Speaker 2: he goes sixteen and six and he finished fourth in
Speaker 2: cy Young through two hundred and thirty one innings. How
Speaker 2: much do you think that would be worth in this
Speaker 2: day and age to have a starting pitcher in back
Speaker 2: to back seasons, actually in a three season sequence through
Speaker 2: two hundred and eleven innings, two hundred and thirty four
Speaker 2: and two hundred and thirty one. In fact, his cy
Speaker 2: young year of seven. Let me pull that up. He
Speaker 2: finishes behind Jake Peavey San Diego, Brandon w Web Arizona
Speaker 2: Pride of Ashland, Kentucky, and Brad Penny of the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: They went one, two, three, Aaron Harang winds up four.
Speaker 2: It's hard not to think of Aaron Harang and think
Speaker 2: of I believe it was two thousand and eight that
Speaker 2: season the Reds played. I'll never forget this because I
Speaker 2: was sitting at what was it called at that point,
Speaker 2: the Crown whatever the Downtown Arena was called at that point,
Speaker 2: and I was watching the Cincinnati Cyclones play on a
Speaker 2: Sunday night in the playoffs, and I had my headphones
Speaker 2: listening to the Reds game because the Reds Padres had
Speaker 2: gone eighteen innings in San Diego that day and the
Speaker 2: game running so long. I just I was following, but
Speaker 2: we were going into the arena to watch the game,
Speaker 2: so I'm listening to it. And that's the game that
Speaker 2: Dusty Baker turned and used Harangu somewhere an extra innings,
Speaker 2: and then the sequencing was he brought him back, I
Speaker 2: want to say, two days later to make his normal start,
Speaker 2: and then like four days later he picked again. It
Speaker 2: was a sequence of a lot of pitches and a
Speaker 2: lot of innings in a short amount of time, and
Speaker 2: it had a tremendous negative effect on Aaron Harang. Some
Speaker 2: would say it kind of changed the trajectory of his
Speaker 2: career for at least a bit. He did wind up pitching, geez,
Speaker 2: how many more years? Eight nine more years? He wasn't
Speaker 2: quite the same. Did win fourteen for San Diego three
Speaker 2: years later, but it took him a while, and clearly
Speaker 2: that had an impact on him in the short term.
Speaker 2: But I will always remember that eighteen inning game, Reds, Podres,
Speaker 2: Dusty and Aaron Harang. Congratulations to Aaron, who is in
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame tonight, along with Reggie Sanders, who
Speaker 2: I want to get to, and lou Panella, who I
Speaker 2: want to get to. Do me a favor and we'll
Speaker 2: get a check on news and Darren Horn's gonna check
Speaker 2: in talk a little norse. Do me a favor and
Speaker 2: look up to go to Baseball Reference and Baseball Reference
Speaker 2: as a website that will allow you to pull up
Speaker 2: the career page of every player whoever appeared in a
Speaker 2: Major League baseball game. Just look up Reggie Sanders, look
Speaker 2: up his career, and I think it's one of those
Speaker 2: looks you'll say, oh, wait a minute, I didn't realize
Speaker 2: he had that kind of career. I mean, we're talking
Speaker 2: over three hundred doubles, over three hundred homers, and over
Speaker 2: three hundred steals. And I know, I know he struggled
Speaker 2: in ninety five in the postseason, but look at that
Speaker 2: regular season in ninety five as well, over one hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty three games that As we continue, I want
Speaker 2: to spend a little bit more time with you celebrating
Speaker 2: these four players tonight with your reaction after we check
Speaker 2: news RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven
Speaker 2: hundred WLW WLWRNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet.
Speaker 2: I'm LANs for countle Hey. Thanks for hanging out tonight.
Speaker 2: Let's talk some hoops truest a reign of the site
Speaker 2: for a Horizon League showdown tomorrow night. They're Red Hot
Speaker 2: Norse hosting Oakland. Bring a stuffed toy for a postgame
Speaker 2: Teddy Bear us and could beat for prizes. It's done
Speaker 2: in partnership with Meyer and Toys for tot's always a
Speaker 2: cool scene. The Norse of nine and three overall, one
Speaker 2: in one in league play. They are undefeated seven to
Speaker 2: zero at home going into the weekend.
Speaker 3: I saw that.
Speaker 2: How about that? I love stats. Going into the weekend,
Speaker 2: the Norse were the only team in the country with
Speaker 2: three players that had scored at least one hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy points this year. How about that? For more on
Speaker 2: the Norse, let's Norris up welcome in their head coach.
Speaker 2: Friend of the show. We love talking with them. That
Speaker 2: would be Darren Horne. How are you doing great?
Speaker 4: Lance? Thanks for having me man.
Speaker 2: Thanks for catching up with me tonight. I look today,
Speaker 2: you guys are averaging almost eighty six points a game.
Speaker 2: That's eleven more points per game than any team you've had.
Speaker 7: There.
Speaker 2: What's gotten into your offense this year?
Speaker 4: Better players?
Speaker 8: We just we just got more guys that not only
Speaker 8: can score the ball, Lance, but I think are willing
Speaker 8: passers that have basketball lot Q to make the right
Speaker 8: next and we're just we're getting a lot more easy shots.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 8: The other thing about that is, you know we're still top.
Speaker 8: You know it changes every day, but as of Sunday night,
Speaker 8: top ten in the country, and turnover percentage is still
Speaker 8: top fifteen and steals percentage, so our defense is leading
Speaker 8: to a lot of transition, which is easy baskets.
Speaker 2: LJ wells ten games this year with at least ten
Speaker 2: points in five boards. That's top ten in the country.
Speaker 2: I've heard you refer to him when talking with Jim
Speaker 2: and Rick on the post game as a grown man game.
Speaker 2: It really is. And he's a finisher for you guys,
Speaker 2: isn't he.
Speaker 4: He really has been.
Speaker 8: And so proud of LJ because the real truth is
Speaker 8: that he hasn't been that his whole career. Right, We've
Speaker 8: seen flashes, but we haven't seen this kind of consistency
Speaker 8: or just some games flat out dominance from him.
Speaker 4: And just so proud of the growth.
Speaker 8: He's made and the commitment that he's made to playing
Speaker 8: so aggressively and really impacting winning with his presence on
Speaker 8: the interior.
Speaker 4: And again, I think.
Speaker 8: A big part of our offensive success is because he's
Speaker 8: playing the five for us. But this is a guy
Speaker 8: that can pop out on the floor and handle the
Speaker 8: ball and make reads and make the right passes and
Speaker 8: knock down some shots as well.
Speaker 2: In the Saturday when you had five guys score at
Speaker 2: least twelve points and record a steal that never been
Speaker 2: done in your Division one era, and you kind of
Speaker 2: alluded to it. It's not a one man show. I
Speaker 2: think you've got four guys averaging between thirteen and eighteen points.
Speaker 2: There's contributions coming from all different directions.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we've been really balanced Lance, you know, and you
Speaker 8: know we were talking about as a staff today, we've
Speaker 8: got four guys that if they got twenty points up
Speaker 8: given night, wouldn't wouldn't really be that big a deal, right,
Speaker 8: you know, So when you go into game with that
Speaker 8: and then maybe maybe a fifth and Taitoser who's been outstanding,
Speaker 8: you know, when you go to a game with that,
Speaker 8: I do think it's been harder for teams to focus
Speaker 8: on one guy. You know, there's been a lot of
Speaker 8: that in the past where we're actually very interested for
Speaker 8: the game to mo on some other games, important league play,
Speaker 8: where teams really try to focus on taking out a
Speaker 8: Marquis Warwick or a Trey Robinson or and Sam Vincent.
Speaker 4: That's that's much harder to do with this team because
Speaker 4: of the balance that we have.
Speaker 2: I noticed you had forty four in the paint against
Speaker 2: Bellerman's Saturday, you had forty in the paint against Cleveland State.
Speaker 2: I was reading your former player, David Wassler covers you
Speaker 2: guys for North's Illustrated, and he referred to it as
Speaker 2: a paint first mindset. You guys can pound that area,
Speaker 2: can't you.
Speaker 8: Well, we're trying to write, you know, we want to
Speaker 8: do that in transition on post speeds and then and
Speaker 8: then even inside out on our threes. And one of
Speaker 8: the things that's leading to is is better offensive rebounding
Speaker 8: as well, so a lot of times it's up on
Speaker 8: paint points putbacks.
Speaker 2: Also, you're eleven games in. Through those eleven, have you
Speaker 2: gotten a I would assume a better feel of of
Speaker 2: combos and subs and and getting guys on the court
Speaker 2: who give you what you need in that moment.
Speaker 8: You know, I think we're getting there, and we're getting
Speaker 8: there a little student maybe than we have in years past.
Speaker 8: You know, still learning some stuff in terms of you know,
Speaker 8: where strengths and weaknesses are with certain combinations in the game.
Speaker 8: But the biggest thing is we've had pretty good consistency
Speaker 8: from individuals. You know, I think Donovan Rackett to Nahari
Speaker 8: who we just called Donny r because his last name
Speaker 8: is so hard to pronounce. You know, it's been a
Speaker 8: good example of that. He's a guy that's come in.
Speaker 8: I think he's shooting like eighty percent from the field
Speaker 8: because he's happy to just run the floor and finish
Speaker 8: drop offs and get offensive rebound put back. And he's
Speaker 8: really impacted winning for us, you know, in a seventh
Speaker 8: to eighth manon roll and so I think, you know,
Speaker 8: all of those things are starting to add up when
Speaker 8: we're getting a good feel for rotations and then putting
Speaker 8: God in the best possible situations for them to be successful.
Speaker 2: You get Oakland tomorrow night at home for the showdown.
Speaker 2: They're led by their wily veteran and Greg Camp, who's
Speaker 2: in is what forty second year. They're averaging eighty four
Speaker 2: a game. They dropped ninety eight on Toledo one hundred
Speaker 2: and one and Purdue fort Wayne ninety five on Montana.
Speaker 3: They put points on the board as.
Speaker 4: Well, So it's really interesting.
Speaker 8: And you know, over his career that's been can't steal right,
Speaker 8: like their teams are going to score for sure.
Speaker 4: In the last few years, he's gone to a zone
Speaker 4: of his own that has has.
Speaker 8: Made them better defensively and more focused on pounding the
Speaker 8: ball inside. But this team is playing extremely fast. He
Speaker 8: got a couple of really dynamic guards, and they still
Speaker 8: have good size and physicality on the interior. So really
Speaker 8: going to be the challenge for us to not only
Speaker 8: slow them down, but to handle their their size and
Speaker 8: the physicality around the basket.
Speaker 2: I noticed this earlier today. I don't want to leave
Speaker 2: it out. It's it's not x's and o's, but it's
Speaker 2: off the court. It's really cool. Your team has partnered
Speaker 2: with Seven Hills Church and your players delivered gifts to
Speaker 2: local schools today. What a cool way to give back
Speaker 2: to the community.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, our guy have really done a good
Speaker 8: job of that this year that I think this is
Speaker 8: maybe our third project partnering with Seven Hills who's done
Speaker 8: such a phenomenal job.
Speaker 4: Of serving the community.
Speaker 8: And to be able to give back the kids and
Speaker 8: help them have a good Christmas with a couple of
Speaker 8: elementary schools this morning. It's it's, you know, something that's
Speaker 8: important to us. You know, the Northern Kentucky community means
Speaker 8: so much to us and is really the reason we
Speaker 8: have a program and and and why our guys want
Speaker 8: to be a part of it is because the Norse
Speaker 8: nation and to be able to give back in our
Speaker 8: area means a lot. And quite honestly, Lance and in
Speaker 8: today's college basketball world, where you know, these guys are
Speaker 8: still in full scholarship and don't how many expenses but
Speaker 8: getting checks every month, and you know, a good reminder
Speaker 8: for them to uh have an appreciation for how great
Speaker 8: thankful they are to uh be playing college basketball at
Speaker 8: a winning program and getting paid and h be reminded,
Speaker 8: especially in this time of the year, the holiday season,
Speaker 8: right how important it is to think others can get back.
Speaker 2: Well said absolutely. I hesitate to look ahead. I know
Speaker 2: you don't want to do that. But Sunday, another home game.
Speaker 2: You get Chris Mack in College of Charleston. We talked
Speaker 2: about and it's a noon tip. We talked about this
Speaker 2: back in the preseason. But remind me, how did that
Speaker 2: game come about? Did you you match up with Chris
Speaker 2: Mack and Charleston?
Speaker 8: You know, it was a game that neither one of
Speaker 8: us wanted to play. We were desperate to finish our schedules.
Speaker 8: I don't think either one really wanted to play a
Speaker 8: program of our qualities. But I think Chris got talked
Speaker 8: into it because you thought, well, at least the next
Speaker 8: year when I come home, I could just stay home
Speaker 8: for Christmas, right, So, uh, you know, we put the
Speaker 8: game right before Christmas, and you know, if I could
Speaker 8: ran for a second, Lance, Yeah, you know when you
Speaker 8: talk about attendance, you know, you always hear things like, well,
Speaker 8: you're not fun to watch, and we're averaging eighty five
Speaker 8: points a game, and well if we were just winning, coach,
Speaker 8: and you know, we're nine in three and you know,
Speaker 8: possession away from being ten and two, and well, you know,
Speaker 8: it's just your schedule is better.
Speaker 4: And you know this week we've got you.
Speaker 8: Know, one of the other premiere program in our league
Speaker 8: coming in and I think one of the premiere mid
Speaker 8: majors in all of college basketball. When you talk about
Speaker 8: success over the last twenty years and the resources and
Speaker 8: what they put into it and then IL and all
Speaker 8: those things, I mean, Charleston is really the kind of
Speaker 8: program that all of us are striving to be. And
Speaker 8: so we've checked all the boxes, and man, we need
Speaker 8: truus a Reno as full as possible for both of
Speaker 8: those games to really help our guys and what's going
Speaker 8: to be two really good basketball games.

Speaker 2: we head back to the phones. Jeff, Welcome to Sports Talk.
Speaker 2: What's on your mind?
Speaker 9: Well, good evening, good evening. I'm usually content to just listen,
Speaker 9: but I felt i'd call him this time. You brought
Speaker 9: up the thing about Aaron Harang in that San Diego game,
Speaker 9: and I had occasion to actually speak with him at
Speaker 9: Redsfest and probably twenty nineteen, and I said, you know,
Speaker 9: I just have to tell you that I always felt
Speaker 9: kind of sorry for you because, you know, your career
Speaker 9: kind of trended downward from that game onward. And he
Speaker 9: told me, you said it was really everybody blames that
Speaker 9: on Dusty. He said it was really on him because
Speaker 9: he said he could do it. You know, he pitched
Speaker 9: six innings in that game and then came back probably
Speaker 9: too soon afterwards, and that that could very well, you know,
Speaker 9: be why you know, things happened as they subsequently did.
Speaker 9: So I thought that was interesting. I haven't heard that
Speaker 9: from any other source other than him, right, I don't
Speaker 9: know that. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great insight, and that's kind of a look
Speaker 2: at who and what he was as a pitcher. He
Speaker 2: was always willing to take the ball. He had made
Speaker 2: thirty starts a year, two hundred innings because he wanted
Speaker 2: to pitch, and when his team needed him on that
Speaker 2: day and things got very desperate for pitching.
Speaker 9: On that I don't think there was anybody else even
Speaker 9: available on the bullten at that point. It was. It
Speaker 9: was almost good that Adrian Gonzalez hit that home run
Speaker 9: and ended the game.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's a great point.
Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean, I told I thought kind of
Speaker 9: bad for him, and he said, well, you know, it's
Speaker 9: really on him.
Speaker 2: On Dusty, that's great insight. Thank you for calling tonight. Okay,
Speaker 2: thank you, all right, joy your evening.
Speaker 3: I like the additional information. I just pulled up my
Speaker 3: notes on that game.
Speaker 2: Made the twenty fifth, two thousand and eight eighteen innings
Speaker 2: Padres win twelve to eight. The Cyclones lost to the
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Wranglers won nothing in the Kelly Cup playoffs.
Speaker 2: I was listening to the game from US Bank Arena
Speaker 2: at the time almost six hours. Red's used ten pitchers,
Speaker 2: three starting pitchers. The teams combined to throw five hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty one pitches that day, three hundred and two
Speaker 2: by the Reds, two hundred and seventy nine by the Padres.
Speaker 2: Adrian Gonzalezes, the caller reference, hit the home run off
Speaker 2: Edinson Volcz at the bottom of the eighteenth. Over the
Speaker 2: first twelve innings, Dusty used Matt Bellile for four and
Speaker 2: a third and then he used seven relievers, and having
Speaker 2: run out of pitchers, he turned to Harangu in the thirteenth.
Speaker 2: He'd pitched two pitching two days after his previous start,
Speaker 2: Aaron went four innings, allowed no runs, struck out nine
Speaker 2: through sixty three pitches, and then three days later made
Speaker 2: his regular start against the Padres. Also in that game,
Speaker 2: Corey Patterson went oh for eight edwin and Carnassi owned
Speaker 2: two for nine. Ken Griffey Junior and Brandon had two hits.
Speaker 2: Joey Vado double switched into the game in the ninth inning,
Speaker 2: started the game on the bench day of rest, came
Speaker 2: off the bench in the ninth, wound up with three hits,
Speaker 2: and Adam Dunn hit his thirteenth home run of the
Speaker 2: year in that game versus Greg Maddox. Bronson, who had
Speaker 2: beat the Pidres the previous night, had a pinch hit
Speaker 2: single with two outs in the thirteenth and Paul Baco,
Speaker 2: the last Reds position player, pinch hit for Harangu and
Speaker 2: struck out with the bases loaded to end the top
Speaker 2: of the seventeenth. On the day, the Padres struck out
Speaker 2: nineteen times and Tony Clark, who is currently the executive
Speaker 2: director of the Baseball Players Association, pinch hit in that game.
Speaker 2: It all happened in the uh the Aaron Harangu game.
Speaker 2: The Reds and Padres back in two thousand and eight,
Speaker 2: back out to the phones and into the Reds conversation.
Speaker 2: Heck yeah in Tennessee. Hey Jeff, welcome to sports talk.
Speaker 7: Hey Ansa, thanks much for taking Mikyle. I like you,
Speaker 7: but at ease my mind o something.
Speaker 10: Do you see the Reds making a major moved?
Speaker 9: I do not.
Speaker 2: They'll make some moves, but they won't be major moves.
Speaker 9: There.
Speaker 2: They took their shot with Kyle Schwarber, but that will
Speaker 2: be their their big attempt at a move. The rest
Speaker 2: will be filling in and managing the payroll to piece
Speaker 2: this together.
Speaker 4: You don't thank you? What about Marcelo was in? Would
Speaker 4: they bring in somebody like that?
Speaker 2: I would hope they could bring in somebody better than him.
Speaker 2: I mean, his numbers really dropped off last year. He's older,
Speaker 2: he'd be down my pecking order of possibilities.
Speaker 4: Well, I heard him.
Speaker 7: I heard him talking about at the Catalanos. Uh one
Speaker 7: way or another, they said that that he would uh
Speaker 7: be released, you know, uh.
Speaker 4: Red would take a change on trying to resign him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's interesting.
Speaker 2: He's gonna make a lot of money this year and
Speaker 2: and he's fallen out of favor in Philadelphia, and Uh,
Speaker 2: it may be trade, it may be release.
Speaker 3: Uh, he's thirty three.
Speaker 2: He's got a little bit of pop still in him.
Speaker 2: He liked it when he was here. They liked him.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just he he really can't play the field anymore.
Speaker 3: And I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just I just wish the Reds were in position
Speaker 2: to add better talent than the Nick Costianos. But ultimately
Speaker 2: they may have to settle for somebody like Costianos.
Speaker 7: Well, I do tell you I've been following them, you know,
Speaker 7: for sixty nine years. I sure have been full for
Speaker 7: sixty nine years. And I've been with you know when
Speaker 7: when the when they've been down, you know, been with them,
Speaker 7: you know when uh when they one of those two
Speaker 7: uh world series.
Speaker 4: And I'm not giving up. I'm I'm not giving up
Speaker 4: on them.
Speaker 7: You know, my dad, when you set out, you sit
Speaker 7: out on ports on uh and and listen to you
Speaker 7: know where they sent out in La. You know, the
Speaker 7: game didn't start to Tednacop. But we set out, we
Speaker 7: set our reports in the summertime and and.
Speaker 4: And listen to them. Uh.
Speaker 7: Uh the game go off that one on one thirty,
Speaker 7: we'd say, right after all reports and listen to them.
Speaker 4: Sure would, But I'm.
Speaker 7: Just I'm just wondering, though, if you see him said
Speaker 7: making a major movie, you don't think that will.
Speaker 2: I think they'll. They'll make some They have to make
Speaker 2: some moves. They just won't be uh big time moves.
Speaker 2: It won't be the moves that uh, I think everybody wants.
Speaker 2: But they got to fill out the roster and need
Speaker 2: to upgrade in some ways. So Jeff hanging there, and
Speaker 2: I appreciate you calling as always.
Speaker 4: Okay, bro, thank you, all right, let them back.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I mean, remember, unless they trade a starting pitcher,
Speaker 2: they've only got five to ten million dollars to play
Speaker 2: with in that range. Now, having said that, watch they
Speaker 2: may turn around and trade Brady Singer and free up
Speaker 2: some money. But if you're expecting big big, they to
Speaker 2: whatever extent they called their shot with Kyle Schorber, that
Speaker 2: was big, They're not doing anything close to that with
Speaker 2: anybody else. They're just not going to you know, I'm
Speaker 2: looking at Reggie Sanders here. Reggie Sanders in that ninety
Speaker 2: five season for the Reds thirty six doubles, twenty eight homers,
Speaker 2: ninety nine ribies, and thirty six steals. He was an
Speaker 2: All Star. He hit three to oh seven. His on
Speaker 2: base percentage was almost four hundred that year. He finished
Speaker 2: sixth in the MVP voting. He had years with the
Speaker 2: Reds where heck, you go two years earlier. We're talking
Speaker 2: twenty five year old Reggie Sanders. He hit twenty homers,
Speaker 2: drove in eighty three, and stole twenty seven. He had
Speaker 2: a season with seventeen homers nineteen homers, played with eight
Speaker 2: different teams in his career and wound up with three
Speaker 2: hundred and five homers and three hundred and four It
Speaker 2: was three hundred and four stolen bases when it was
Speaker 2: all said and done. Seventh round draft pick, originally by
Speaker 2: the Reds, and finished fourth in Rookie of the Year
Speaker 2: when he came up in first came up in ninety one,
Speaker 2: got in a couple of games, then in ninety two
Speaker 2: his first full season, played one hundred and sixteen games.
Speaker 2: But talk about a combination of speed and power and
Speaker 2: had an arm and right field and yeah, I know,
Speaker 2: it's tough to not think of Regie Sanders and not
Speaker 2: think of nineteen ninety five postseason Braves and Dodgers. He went,
Speaker 2: you know, four for twenty eight with nineteen strikeouts somewhere
Speaker 2: in that neighborhood. I don't think I have the stomach
Speaker 2: to look up the numbers, but he was so much
Speaker 2: more than that. Well here it is four for twenty
Speaker 2: nine with nineteen strikeouts in the ninety five postseason against
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and then the Braves. But man, there was
Speaker 2: so much more to Regis centers, and that's why I
Speaker 2: am so happy tonight he has been recognized as a
Speaker 2: Reds Hall of Famer. Up next, we'll recognize the Musketeers.
Speaker 2: How's that for a segue? Richard Patino ahead and more
Speaker 2: of your calls. RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey
Speaker 2: Chevrolet seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: The following takes place between eight pm and nine pm.
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep it moving. Eight o'clock hour underway,
Speaker 2: eight oh six to be precise. A Lance McAllister, thanks
Speaker 2: for hanging out checking in tonight. We've talks of breads.
Speaker 2: Let's talk some Xavier Musketeers. Savier takes a five game
Speaker 2: winning streak into their big East opener tomorrow night, Sentaz
Speaker 2: Center the place to be for hoops. They take on
Speaker 2: Creighton six point thirty with the tip from around that,
Speaker 2: let's go straight to the sores. Welcome in the head
Speaker 2: coach Xavier Musketeers. That would be Richard Patino coach. How
Speaker 2: are we doing tonight?
Speaker 10: Doing great? Thanks for having me Lace, you.
Speaker 2: Got to good catch it up. So you guys finish
Speaker 2: the non conference eight and three. I know you're still
Speaker 2: a work in progress, but man, that pivot and change
Speaker 2: that you guys you made with this group on the
Speaker 2: fly in the Charleston Classic, it's got to be pretty
Speaker 2: satisfying and encouraging.
Speaker 11: I think it kind of you know, obviously had kind
Speaker 11: of a soberinging loss for Santa Clara at home, didn't
Speaker 11: play well. They're a good team, but we played very
Speaker 11: poorly and we had to kind of recalibrate everything. And
Speaker 11: we came back played really really well.
Speaker 10: Versus I think it was Old Dominion at home, and then.
Speaker 11: We went to Iowa and actually played well those four
Speaker 11: we lost. There was some moments there was like, okay,
Speaker 11: we may have something here. Came back played really well
Speaker 11: Versul Tomion. But I thought Charleston really really kind of
Speaker 11: energized us. Georgie is a very talented team. We really
Speaker 11: had the game one, they may a tough shot right
Speaker 11: at the end and then played great for West Virginia.
Speaker 10: And it's just been the momentum has been.
Speaker 11: Really good, and it's just it's really attitude and effort.
Speaker 11: You know, we've got high character guys in the locker room.
Speaker 11: They're working really hard in practice, and it's it's cool
Speaker 11: to see just kind of the confidence building.
Speaker 3: I've noticed that.
Speaker 2: I've heard your guys talk about being connected on the
Speaker 2: court off the court. When you're dealing with all new
Speaker 2: guys from all parts of the country, that's not easy.
Speaker 2: That's not always the case.
Speaker 11: No, And you know, it really starts with just the
Speaker 11: type of people that you you know, it's hard to
Speaker 11: even call it recruiting anymore, right, but I mean the
Speaker 11: people that you bring in in a really cool moment.
Speaker 11: Last night, I had my radio show, but one of
Speaker 11: our walk ons, Henry, had his jersey retired, and we
Speaker 11: brought it up and just said, hey, if you could
Speaker 11: make it, that would be great. And we had two
Speaker 11: guys that had a previous engagement that everybody else went
Speaker 11: to it. And it just shows you like they're a
Speaker 11: very very tight knit group. You know, it's not always
Speaker 11: the most important thing off the court.
Speaker 10: Sometimes that can.
Speaker 11: Be a little bit overrated, but you certainly can feel
Speaker 11: it with these guys. There's a respect level. You know,
Speaker 11: the UC game, it's a lot for both teams. But
Speaker 11: what it does do is it kind of brings you together.
Speaker 11: Because that was kind of like the first moment where
Speaker 11: you're you're fighting for xavior.
Speaker 3: So it was cool to see your team.
Speaker 2: A couple of numbers that pop off the page that
Speaker 2: have to make you very happy. Your your team share
Speaker 2: rate and protect rate is off the charts. I mean,
Speaker 2: you guys share the ball, and man, they value the
Speaker 2: possession of the ball, don't they.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I don't know if it changed, but this morning we
Speaker 11: were number one in the country and it's just a
Speaker 11: turnable percentage on Ken Palm. So where are the one
Speaker 11: or two in all those categories?
Speaker 4: Which is great.
Speaker 10: I mean people kind of ask me. I've had some
Speaker 10: coaches reach out like, oh, what what are you doing?
Speaker 11: And I'm like, honestly, I'm playing guys who are fundamentally
Speaker 11: sound like I mean, we do some passing girls, we
Speaker 11: do some you know, footwork, drill and.
Speaker 10: Everything like that, but it really is.
Speaker 11: It's contagious right now, you know our practices sometimes we overpass,
Speaker 11: but they're all kind of trying to one up each
Speaker 11: other with sharing the ball.
Speaker 10: The assist now some of it.
Speaker 11: As you shoot a lot of jump shots, you're going
Speaker 11: to get assisted baskets. But I just think when you're
Speaker 11: playing like you play a team like you see you
Speaker 11: have four turnovers. We come back the next game versus
Speaker 11: Missouri State, who's really really.
Speaker 10: Physical defense, you only have six.
Speaker 11: I mean for us, I mean we're not necessarily the
Speaker 11: most athletic team, but if we can just value the
Speaker 11: ball like this, it's going to give us a chance.
Speaker 2: You open Big East play tomorrow night at home against Creighton.
Speaker 2: What are your impressions of the Blue Jays.
Speaker 10: You know, it's interesting.
Speaker 11: I mean, they've always been kind of a consistent player
Speaker 11: in this league, and they've got to believe, five returners
Speaker 11: from last year's team. Coach McDermott does a terrific job.
Speaker 11: They just haven't really made shots. I mean, I hope
Speaker 11: to god they don't make shots tomorrow. But it's always
Speaker 11: scary because they're continuing to move. The ball they're facing
Speaker 11: is great. They play with pace offensively on a make
Speaker 11: or a miss, So the shots are there. They just
Speaker 11: haven't been falling. You know, they've played a tough schedule
Speaker 11: in Nebraska is really difficult Kansas State. The first half
Speaker 11: they didn't play well, but certainly played great in.
Speaker 10: The second half.
Speaker 11: So we know with our team, like every game that
Speaker 11: we play, we're going to have our hands full, especially in.
Speaker 10: This twenty game Big East.
Speaker 11: So you got to guard the three point line, you
Speaker 11: got to get back in transition and communicate because they're
Speaker 11: going to fly the ball to the court.
Speaker 2: You get them at sentas tomorrow night. What have you
Speaker 2: learned about this fan base and how important is it
Speaker 2: for that shootout vibe not to be a one off?
Speaker 11: Yeah, the shootout is interesting because you know, as an outsider,
Speaker 11: you know, I'm a non Zavier guy, and you know,
Speaker 11: I'm still trying to earn my stripes with all the fans,
Speaker 11: and you know, they kind of and the fans kind
Speaker 11: of trick you a little bit because they're like, do
Speaker 11: you take this game seriously or not? And I'm like, listen,
Speaker 11: as a coach, were one game at a time, this
Speaker 11: and that. But you know, really what it is is
Speaker 11: the fans and the media really really take it seriously
Speaker 11: because of the bragging rights and all that. It's really
Speaker 11: really cool and fun to be a part of. But
Speaker 11: I've gotten asked that question, and I just said, you know,
Speaker 11: you know, I understand a bye game in December.
Speaker 10: It is not always going to be like that.
Speaker 11: But you know, I was very lucky for the last
Speaker 11: four years to coach in an iconic building in front
Speaker 11: of a terrific fan base in New Mexico with fifteen
Speaker 11: thousand fans. And I tell you what if we bring
Speaker 11: it like we did in the Crosstown shootout for these
Speaker 11: ten home games in the league, like we're going to
Speaker 11: be a tough out, you know, it's it's a really
Speaker 11: cool fan base because I've never worked at a small
Speaker 11: kind of Catholic school like this with no football. I
Speaker 11: went to a school like this, but I've never professionally
Speaker 11: done that. And they're they're not necessarily a large number,
Speaker 11: but there's strength kind of in the numbers that they have,
Speaker 11: and they're really really passionate, and they've been very welcome
Speaker 11: to me and my family.
Speaker 2: All Right, my most important question to you, can you
Speaker 2: confirm a family sledding activity that may have led to injury,
Speaker 2: if not at least general soreness on your part.
Speaker 11: General shortness would be accurate, for sure. I was standing
Speaker 11: in my office today because.
Speaker 10: My back was hurty.
Speaker 11: You know, We've got a pretty cool hill in front
Speaker 11: of our house.
Speaker 10: And my cute nine year.
Speaker 11: Old daughter put like her snowpants on, her boots on,
Speaker 11: and my other two kids were not there, and she
Speaker 11: was like, well, I guess I'm gonna go sledging by myself.
Speaker 11: And I'm like, all right, I got to go with you.
Speaker 11: You know, when you live in Minnesota, it was so
Speaker 11: cold like the Bengals game the other day. That was
Speaker 11: like every day in Minnesota for like three months, so
Speaker 11: it was like thirty degrees out. We had a blast,
Speaker 11: but I took a little spill. My wife didn't catch it,
Speaker 11: but I did actually run into it free as well.
Speaker 11: But I think I'm a game time decision tomorrow. But
Speaker 11: I feel good that I'm gonna be able to coach,
Speaker 11: oh man, that that is good news.
Speaker 2: We'll take care of yourself, and I always appreciate your time.
Speaker 3: In best of luck tomorrow night.
Speaker 10: All right, thank you, mans, appreciate it all right, all right.
Speaker 3: Take care coach.
Speaker 2: There you go, Richard Patino, check it in tonight. He
Speaker 2: hit a tree. What I can see his nine. You're like,
Speaker 2: who's gonna say no to there? I guess I'll go
Speaker 2: sledding by myself. I mean I remember that, whether it
Speaker 2: was Peyton or Casey is like, oh, but I thought
Speaker 2: general soortness might be the way he would go with
Speaker 2: the description. Standing in the office this morning, you said,
Speaker 2: feeling it. Musketeers tomorrow night, five game winning streak heading
Speaker 2: into Big East play with the opener against Creighton six
Speaker 2: point thirty from Senta center. All right, let's do this.
Speaker 2: Let's let's keep the lines open. I want to welcome
Speaker 2: your conversation. I've got oh when we come back. I
Speaker 2: came across a story over the weekend of a finish
Speaker 2: in a high school football state championship game that you
Speaker 2: will absolutely not believe, and I think it might lead
Speaker 2: into maybe a little bit of a conversation about the
Speaker 2: wild and wacky finishes in sports history over the years
Speaker 2: that you could maybe add to as well. Let's try
Speaker 2: that at a little bit plus some more Red's Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame conversation as we continue. The show is RNL

Speaker 2: against Florida State forty two thirty one. Couple of notes
Speaker 2: from Reds and Bengals World today. The Bengals claiming wide
Speaker 2: receiver Keishawn Williams off waivers from the Steelers. He returns kicks,
Speaker 2: punts and kickoffs. Charlie Jones dealing with an ankle issue
Speaker 2: for the Bengals. Steelers wave Keyshawn Williams yesterday. He had
Speaker 2: appeared in eight games. Also the other news of the day,
Speaker 2: Paul Dayner Junior of The Athletic reports that Zach Taylor
Speaker 2: actually has two more years left on his contract after
Speaker 2: this year, not one as previously believed. He quietly got
Speaker 2: an extension after the twenty twenty two AFC Championship Game
Speaker 2: loss and the Reds acquiring twenty nine year old left
Speaker 2: handed reliever Caleb Ferguson is free agent one year deal
Speaker 2: terms not disclosed, at least that I've seen He pitched
Speaker 2: in seventy games last season for the Pirates and Mariners
Speaker 2: combined era of three point five eight, again a lefty
Speaker 2: veteran lefty, and gave up just two home runs in
Speaker 2: sixty five and a third innings. Four Hall of Fame
Speaker 2: members announced today in new editions for the Reds, Brandon Phillips,
Speaker 2: Aaron Harang, Reggie Sanders, and Lou Panella. One hundred days
Speaker 2: to Reds Opening Day. A A couple of things that
Speaker 2: caught my eye over the weekend, and I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's topic worthy. What we'll find out see if
Speaker 2: I can maybe jar your memory and gather some contributions here.
Speaker 2: Both happen in high school football games. First one from
Speaker 2: listener Neil Eisner. Shout out to Neil, loyal listener, follower
Speaker 2: of the show. Much appreciated. He sent me this one
Speaker 2: Friday night, Louisiana Division two state championship game in football
Speaker 2: Saint Charles and Shaw. If you haven't seen the video,
Speaker 2: seek it out excuse me online. I'll try to simplify
Speaker 2: what took place. There's thirty five seconds left in the game.
Speaker 2: Shaw has the ball and they are leading by one.
Speaker 2: They have the ball they're leading by one thirty five
Speaker 2: seconds left. They just have to take knees to kneel
Speaker 2: out the game and win well. After first down, an
Speaker 2: offensive linemen celebrated by taking off his helmet and tossing
Speaker 2: it into the air. That results in a flag unsportsmanlike conduct.
Speaker 2: It stops the clock, so Saint Charles didn't have to
Speaker 2: burn a timeout. So then Shaw takes a knee on
Speaker 2: second down, Saint Charles calls timeout. Shaw takes a knee
Speaker 2: on third down. Saint Charles uses their remaining timeout, so
Speaker 2: they force a punt. Saint Charles blocked the punt and
Speaker 2: recovered it at the Shaw thirty two yard line with
Speaker 2: twenty seconds left. They threw a quick pass ten seconds
Speaker 2: left down to the twenty seven. They kick a game
Speaker 2: winning field goal, and the kicker who kicked the game
Speaker 2: winning field goal had missed the point after with about
Speaker 2: a minute left in the game that would have tied it,
Speaker 2: and he gets a shot at redemption hits a forty
Speaker 2: four yarder to win it. After they get the break
Speaker 2: of a helmet being tossed in the air in celebration.
Speaker 2: Oh can you imagine, I'll give you one more State
Speaker 2: championship game Saturday night, Florida Class seven a Vero Beach
Speaker 2: led Lake Mary by eight in the final minute driving rain.
Speaker 2: They're up eight, they had the ball. They chose to
Speaker 2: run backwards and kneel down on three straight plays on
Speaker 2: fourth and thirty one rather than punt and risk it
Speaker 2: being blocked in the driving rain. They ran to the
Speaker 2: back of the end zone and took a safety. So
Speaker 2: their lead is down to six with twelve seconds left
Speaker 2: and they're kicking off. Instead of kicking it deep, they
Speaker 2: do a squib kick. Lake Mary recovered it. They have
Speaker 2: time for one play. It's a forty three yard hail
Speaker 2: Mary in a driving rain that's deflected near the goal
Speaker 2: line into the hands of their wide receiver who's a
Speaker 2: yard short of the goal line, who is wrapped up,
Speaker 2: but as he spins around, he flips the ball to
Speaker 2: a teammate who fights off a tackler and falls into
Speaker 2: the end zone.
Speaker 3: Pat follows and they win the game.
Speaker 2: Un be believable. Two state championships this weekend, which got
Speaker 2: me thinking and led to this and maybe maybe for
Speaker 2: a segment and all open the lines at five point three,
Speaker 2: seven four nine hundred, the big one give me a
Speaker 2: a wild or crazy finish in sports along those lines,
Speaker 2: not a comeback or an upset or a winning shot,
Speaker 2: as much as something bizarre involved something maybe with a twist,
Speaker 2: in this case, a helmet being thrown off. I would
Speaker 2: give you. I would give you the band is on
Speaker 2: the field as my ultimate number one that came up
Speaker 2: at lunch today more than anything else. Nineteen eighty two, Cal, Stanford.
Speaker 2: It was John Elway's final game for the Stanford Cardinal
Speaker 2: and Cal receiving the kickoff and the Stanford fans believe
Speaker 2: the game was over, the Stanford had won. They store
Speaker 2: them out of the field. The band is on the field,
Speaker 2: the classic call.
Speaker 3: The band is on the field.
Speaker 2: The cow kick returner navigates his way down up the
Speaker 2: field through the band, runs over the trombone player and
Speaker 2: into the end zone in total chaos. To win the game,
Speaker 2: I would give you the twenty thirteen Iron Bowl kick
Speaker 2: six number one on Alabama number four Auburn. Alabama lined
Speaker 2: up to try potential fifty seven yard field goal, game
Speaker 2: winning fifty seven yard field goal. The kick is up
Speaker 2: and the kick is short, but Auburn's Chris Davis had
Speaker 2: been positioned near the goal line and he caught the
Speaker 2: ball on the way down in front of the goalpost,
Speaker 2: and the ball's in play, you can return it. He
Speaker 2: runs the entire field through the players, both teams opposite
Speaker 2: end zone, touchdown. Auburn wins the twenty thirteen Iron Bowl
Speaker 2: with a kick six. I would give you nineteen seventy
Speaker 2: two the Immaculate Reception AFC Divisional Playoffs. Steelers Raiders Terry
Speaker 2: Bradshaw throws a pass that gets deflected.
Speaker 3: The ball is deflected.
Speaker 2: In the air and is caught by Franco Harris off
Speaker 2: his shoe tops on the road and goes the distance
Speaker 2: for the most famous, most controversial play maybe in NFL history,
Speaker 2: of whether who had touched it first on the deflection.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of who laid out the Steeler
Speaker 2: and who the receiver, the intended receiver was, and I'm
Speaker 2: want it was it may have been Jack Tatum who
Speaker 2: delivered the hit, and whether it hit a Steeler first
Speaker 2: or Tatum made contact with it first. And in slow
Speaker 2: motion you see Frank O'harris off his shoe tops and
Speaker 2: run the final whatever thirty to forty two yards, almost
Speaker 2: get caught, almost go.
Speaker 3: Out of bounds it into the end zone for the
Speaker 3: game winner.
Speaker 2: I would give you a Bengal play for this, and
Speaker 2: this would be related to the high school football game.
Speaker 3: This would have been.
Speaker 2: What year eighty, mid eighties, late late eighties. This was
Speaker 2: Bengals with the ball against the forty nine Ers and
Speaker 2: Sam Wish instead of having the Bengal punt the ball
Speaker 2: or take a safety, trying to run out the clock
Speaker 2: against the forty nine Ers at Riverfront. He runs a
Speaker 2: fourth down play from their own territory and Boomer throws
Speaker 2: a pitch to James Brooks and James Brooks can't run
Speaker 2: out the clock. There's like five seconds left on the play.
Speaker 2: He gets tackled. Forty nine Ers takeover on possession change
Speaker 2: and Joe Montana comes on the field with one play
Speaker 2: throws to Jerry Rice, touchdown. Forty nine Ers stun the
Speaker 2: Bengals at Riverfront Stadium. That would be a few that
Speaker 2: came up during our lunch conversation today, But I thought
Speaker 2: about that based on Neil passing along the Louisiana State
Speaker 2: Championship game and the Florida State Championship game. If you
Speaker 2: have one that of the somewhat bizarre wild or crazy
Speaker 2: finish some time on that plus of Bengals, not or
Speaker 2: two around the corner. Let's check news. I'm doing relatively
Speaker 2: well staying on the clock. Tonight It's Rnel Carrier Sports Talk.
Speaker 2: What's Gotten into Me? Presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven hundred
Speaker 2: WLW News six seven hundred WLW RNL Carrier Sports Talk
Speaker 2: presented by Kelsey Chevrolet Abliancecatister.
Speaker 3: Hey, join us on Thursday night the Roundtable show. I'm
Speaker 3: with Rock.
Speaker 2: We talked Bengals, Bearcats, college football and more. We're at
Speaker 2: Long Necks in Wilder for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: We would love to see you there. In addition to
Speaker 2: being on X at Lance Bacallister, I'm on Instagram and
Speaker 2: TikTok if you like or on those platforms. There's always Facebook,
Speaker 2: Lance Pacallister Sports Talk. We're talking reds in the four
Speaker 2: Hall of Famers there right now at Lance Pacallister Sports.
Speaker 3: Talk on Facebook.
Speaker 2: All right, So the lunch conversation was spurned on by
Speaker 2: a listener and Neil who had passed along the story
Speaker 2: and wait and then in watching the video, I'm like,
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine the look of the coaches on
Speaker 2: the sidelines of just how insane the state championship game
Speaker 2: turned out in Louisiana when one team receives a penalty
Speaker 2: because when taking a knee in the final few seconds,
Speaker 2: the offensive lineman takes off his helmet and throws it
Speaker 2: up in the air in celebration. He thinks the clock
Speaker 2: is going to run out. It's a penalty. The clock stops.
Speaker 2: It allows the other team to then keep a time
Speaker 2: out and call it on the next two plays, then
Speaker 2: forcing a punt, and they blocked the punt. They recover
Speaker 2: it and kick a game winning field goal to flat
Speaker 2: out steal the high school state championship in Louisiana in
Speaker 2: Division two. And that led to conversation about some of
Speaker 2: the crazy the bizarre finishes through the years in.
Speaker 3: Sports, and I've tossed it out to you as well.
Speaker 2: Let's head back to the phones, Hey, Richard, give me
Speaker 2: a crazy finish?
Speaker 4: Oh yea.
Speaker 12: This one's from Thanksgiving Day of nineteen ninety three in
Speaker 12: the NFL game between the Dolphins and the Cowboys, and
Speaker 12: this game was coming down to the wire. I think
Speaker 12: Dallas was up by one or two points, so Miami
Speaker 12: came down the field at the end of the game
Speaker 12: and they were setting up for a game winning field goal,
Speaker 12: and they they and they set it up. Stuyanovitch kicks it,
Speaker 12: it's blocked by Dallas and.
Speaker 6: Then the ball's rolling around on the ground.
Speaker 13: For some reason, the Cowboys defensive tackle Leon Lett decides
Speaker 13: to he's going to recover this ball, and it sports
Speaker 13: away from him and Miami recovers it, and all Dallas.
Speaker 4: Had to do is just to let the ball go.
Speaker 4: The game ends.
Speaker 6: So Miami sets back up for a game winning field goal,
Speaker 6: makes it wins the game, and then Dallas loses.
Speaker 3: Such an unbelievable scene.
Speaker 2: It's snowing, the snow everywhere in Leon left is sliding
Speaker 2: through the snow trying to grab the ball and it
Speaker 2: squirts loose and total chaos.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: What I remember, I think Bob Trump, he was a
Speaker 6: color guy on that game, and I just remember I
Speaker 6: remember him going leon Let, no, no, because the previous
Speaker 6: year in the Super Bowl, Leon Lett there was a
Speaker 6: blow they were blowing out Buffalo and he's running down
Speaker 6: the field with the ball for the end zone for
Speaker 6: a touchdown and then he holds it out and then
Speaker 6: don Beebe strips it before he crosses the goal line.
Speaker 6: But two yards of the goal lines. And that's why
Speaker 6: Trumpy was going, no, no.
Speaker 3: Just a classic.
Speaker 2: That's that's great, hey, Richard, thanks for listening, Thanks for calling.
Speaker 4: You have a great night. Bye bye.
Speaker 2: All right you as well. The other ones, uh, let
Speaker 2: me round this out. The other ones we came up
Speaker 2: with at lunch seventy two Olympics basketball versus the Soviets,
Speaker 2: final three seconds of the gold medal game replayed three
Speaker 2: different times due to quote official errors. On the final attempt,
Speaker 2: the Soviets completed a full court pass and a game
Speaker 2: winning layup to win fifty one fifty to beat the
Speaker 2: previously undefeated USA team. They won silver and many, in fact,
Speaker 2: it maybe the entire team. They did not accept their
Speaker 2: medals in protest, we're not taking the silver medals. We
Speaker 2: got jobbed by the officials three times. Three times they
Speaker 2: reset it like oh no, no, no. And obviously the first
Speaker 2: couple of times the Soviets had failed on those plays
Speaker 2: to score, and then on the third time they actually scored.
Speaker 2: I would go two thousand. Music City Miracle, the lateral,
Speaker 2: the Titans beat the Bills. Titans trailed sixteen to fifteen.
Speaker 2: Lorenzo O'Neil. One time, Bengal caught the kickoff, handed it
Speaker 2: to the tight end Frank Whitchek for the Titans, and
Speaker 2: he throws a crossfield lateral directly parallel to Kevin Dyce
Speaker 2: and the receiver, who then has a voy in front
Speaker 2: of him, goes the distance and wins the game. I
Speaker 2: would go. Nineteen eighty three NCAA Basketball National Championship game.
Speaker 2: NC State beats Houston at the Buzzer. Derek Wittenberg, with
Speaker 2: the clock ticking down, has the ball knocked away. They're trailing.
Speaker 2: It's knocked away. He grabs it and his time is
Speaker 2: about to expire. He turns and he heaves one up
Speaker 2: from forty feet and it short, but Lorenzo Charles big
Speaker 2: Man from North Carolina State leaps in the air and
Speaker 2: catches the ball on the way down and dunks it
Speaker 2: on the way down to win the game at the Buzzer.
Speaker 2: I would add the miracle at the Meadowlands nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 2: The Giants were about to beat the Eagles in the Meadowlands.
Speaker 2: Joe Pisarcik is the quarterback, Larry Zonka is the running back.
Speaker 2: Piserchik turns the hand off to Larry Zonka. Instead of
Speaker 2: taking a knee, he hands the Larry zonk Well, they
Speaker 2: fumble the exchange. Herm Edwards. That Herm Edwards now on
Speaker 2: ESPN it was later a coach is an Eagles defensive back.
Speaker 2: He scoops up the ball and goes twenty yards in
Speaker 2: for the touchdown to win the game when the Giants
Speaker 2: needed just a knee to run out the clock. And
Speaker 2: I and one more just because it well, it pained
Speaker 2: us today at lunch to bring this up. It was
Speaker 2: that opener back in what two thousand and five six,
Speaker 2: what year was it? Bengals Broncos Week one? Brandon Stokely
Speaker 2: Gus Johnson on the call, Hail Mary out the midfield deflected,
Speaker 2: Brandon Stokely gets in your here, gosh, John brand It's
Speaker 2: runs it in and gets parallel to the goal line
Speaker 2: and runs sideways to run a few more seconds off
Speaker 2: the clock. Then goes into the end zone and the
Speaker 2: Broncos beat the Bengals in Week one of the season.
Speaker 2: That was fun today at lunch, I still thank you
Speaker 2: Neil for passing along that Louisiana game. Absolutely incredible Bengals
Speaker 2: note today and it's worth the from Paul Dayner Junior
Speaker 2: of the Athletic I don't know how this will sit
Speaker 2: with you. Well, I can imagine, but I'll run through it.
Speaker 2: Paul Dayner Junior has written about the structure the Bengals
Speaker 2: organization going forward this year and the status of Duke
Speaker 2: Tobin and Zach Taylor and somebody like Al Golden and
Speaker 2: some insight on what may happen. And Paul writes that
Speaker 2: Sunday went as badly as any single day could go
Speaker 2: for a pro sports organization, and he lays out they
Speaker 2: get eliminated, missed the playoffs for the third straight year.
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow shut out for the first time in his career,
Speaker 2: beaten mercilessly and trash talked by a division rival. Joe
Speaker 2: Burrow said after the game, we haven't been a good
Speaker 2: football team, and bad teams football teams do losing things.
Speaker 2: There was the backlash and controversy of not clearing the
Speaker 2: seats of the snow and the ice fans wore bags
Speaker 2: over their head.
Speaker 3: There was booing throughout the game.
Speaker 2: As Paul Dayner Junior rights, this was the kind of
Speaker 2: day that can leave an imprint on ownership. This was
Speaker 2: the kind of day that consumers hold over a company's
Speaker 2: head for years. Quite simply, this was a day that
Speaker 2: gets people fired. Paul then goes on to right, in
Speaker 2: most places, Duke Tobin, the de facto general manager, would
Speaker 2: be on the hot seat.
Speaker 3: That's just not the case.
Speaker 2: Here. Tobin is viewed as family. There is zero thought
Speaker 2: that his job is in jeopardy. Paul goes on to write,
Speaker 2: firing Taylor seems unlikely right now, and he points out,
Speaker 2: as I did at the top of the hour, Taylor
Speaker 2: actually has two years left on his contract. Two after
Speaker 2: this year. I think the Bengals are going to pay
Speaker 2: somebody to not coach for two years. And Paul writes
Speaker 2: the relationship between Taylor, Burrow and Brown Mike Brown will
Speaker 2: carry weight. Burrow has spoke openly in support of the
Speaker 2: coaching staff. Paul writes, beyond that this is Cincinnati, this
Speaker 2: is an ownership group stoutly devoted to patients and a
Speaker 2: belief in the people it hires. He points out there
Speaker 2: perhaps could be a question about Al Golden. Does he
Speaker 2: become the fall guy? But do you really turn over
Speaker 2: another defensive coordinator and bring in a third one in
Speaker 2: as many years? This final paragraph from Paul Daanner Junior
Speaker 2: of the Athletic Today. The Bengals have nearly the entire
Speaker 2: offense signed and returning next year. They rank eighth in
Speaker 2: cap space for next season. Aggressively attacking free agency to
Speaker 2: solidified defensive spots is a potential plan. Bengal fans screaming
Speaker 2: for change should prepare themselves for the fact that, at
Speaker 2: this moment, making no major changes appears the most likely endgame.
Speaker 2: Man Paul Dayer Junior from the Athletic Today. More ahead,
Speaker 2: another Bengals note, and on this date in sports history,
Speaker 2: as we head down the stretch and you as well
Speaker 2: five one, three, seven four, nine, seven thousand, What eight
Speaker 2: hundred the big One?
Speaker 3: It's Rnel Carrier.
Speaker 2: Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chervallet seven hundred WLW down
Speaker 2: the Stretch We go news in about nine minutes, Gary
Speaker 2: Jeff Walker. After that developing situation in college football, Jeremiah Love,
Speaker 2: Notre Dame running back arguably best running back in Notre
Speaker 2: Dame history, has declared well, Jerome Bettis might have something
Speaker 2: among others to say about that, but Jeremiah Love declaring
Speaker 2: for the NFL draft earlier The Sea follow up on
Speaker 2: what Paul Daker Junior wrote about the Bengals and trags
Speaker 2: Mike Petrella from CLNS since with Ay dot Com weighed
Speaker 2: in with a column today, can't wait to talk with
Speaker 2: him about it on Thursday night. He's our weekly Thursday
Speaker 2: Night Roundtable show guest. At six point twenty. He wrote
Speaker 2: today about the Bengals the following a couple of paragraphs
Speaker 2: that caught my eye. The Bengals only care about mating,
Speaker 2: maintaining control of their operation. Season ticket holder opinion and
Speaker 2: player sentiment be damned. This is our team and we
Speaker 2: know what's best, he writes. The Bengals have the money
Speaker 2: to invest in a real general manager and a real
Speaker 2: scouting department, they just refuse because they think they know better.
Speaker 2: Fifty years of results would suggest otherwise, and he points
Speaker 2: out the change that has taken place around the NFL
Speaker 2: in recent years with the Jaguars and the Colts and
Speaker 2: the Patriots and the Broncos. As he writes, they all
Speaker 2: took a close, hard look at the way they do
Speaker 2: business and who was running their football operations and made
Speaker 2: changes over the last several years. And he concluded in
Speaker 2: his piece today, with Burrow and Chase and Higgins locked
Speaker 2: up for multiple years, the future should be incredibly bright
Speaker 2: with the prospects of multiple Super Bowls. Instead, he concludes,
Speaker 2: thanks to the stubborn and unrelenting nature of the Bengals,
Speaker 2: the only thing on the horizon is a five category
Speaker 2: tornado that threatens to rip apart super Bowl hopes of
Speaker 2: every Bengals fan That from Trags today, he'll join his
Speaker 2: Thursday at six twenty on the Roundtable Show. All right,
Speaker 2: let's wrap it up with some Reds Hall of Fame notes,
Speaker 2: and let me give you on this date before I
Speaker 2: run out of time. On this date, nineteen sixty one,
Speaker 2: Wilt the Stilt Chamberlain begins a streak of seven straight
Speaker 2: games with fifty or more points.
Speaker 3: He's one of those guys.
Speaker 2: If you gave me a wayback machine and I could
Speaker 2: go back and watch somebody I never had a chance
Speaker 2: to watch, I would put Wilt Chamberlain on that list.
Speaker 2: I'd have Wil Chamberlain. I'd have Jim Brown, even though
Speaker 2: I was younger when he was playing in the NBA.
Speaker 2: If I could go back and watch Pete Maravich play
Speaker 2: at LSU, I would have that might be an off
Speaker 2: the beaten Pat topic one night now I think about it.
Speaker 2: This date, nineteen sixty seven, Will Chamberlain scores sixty eight
Speaker 2: against the Chicago Bulls nineteen seventy two perfection in the
Speaker 2: regular season. The Dolphins become the first undefeated NFL team
Speaker 2: at fourteen and oh they would run the table and
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl as well. Nineteen seventy three, On
Speaker 2: this date, Oj Simpson the Juice becomes the first NFL
Speaker 2: player to rush for two thousand yards in a season.
Speaker 2: I have images of that game in my head. It
Speaker 2: was in the snow. He did it against the Jets.
Speaker 2: I want to say it was at Shayse Stadium. He
Speaker 2: did it running behind The nickname of the Bills offensive
Speaker 2: line was the Electric Company, if I remember correctly, led
Speaker 2: by Reggie McKenzie and Joe Delamoleure. I believe this date,
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy six dark day in Cincinnati sports history. The
Speaker 2: Reds trade Tony Perez to the Montreal Expos for Will Mcinanny,
Speaker 2: Woody Friman and Dale Murray. The trade of the thirty
Speaker 2: four year old opened the door for twenty five year
Speaker 2: old first base prospect Dan Dreeson. And you know the
Speaker 2: thing that and Dan It was always gonna be tough
Speaker 2: for Dan because he was the one who had to
Speaker 2: replace Tony Perez. But if you go back and look me,
Speaker 2: Dan Dreeson in his first year as their everyday first
Speaker 2: baseman replacing Tony put up Tony Perez like numbers. He
Speaker 2: drove in ninety one in replacing Tony and hit three
Speaker 2: hundred and stole thirty one bases.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's one of those things you'd lose a
Speaker 3: bet on that.
Speaker 2: In Dan Dreason's first season as Tony's replacement, Dan had
Speaker 2: had had plenty of games under his belt in the
Speaker 2: previous four years, but when he became Tony Perez's replacement,
Speaker 2: thirty one doubles, seventeen homers, ninety one ribis, thirty one steals,
Speaker 2: and a three hundred batting average. But those are numbers.
Speaker 2: Tony was the heart and the soul and the the
Speaker 2: the heart, the heart beat of the big Red machine
Speaker 2: man in that trade. Woody Friman what retired the next
Speaker 2: year in mid season and went back to his farm.
Speaker 2: Dale Murray did nothing. Will mcin any certainly was a
Speaker 2: very fine reliever for the Reds. But man oh Man,
Speaker 2: this state, speaking of trades, nineteen eighty two, the Reds
Speaker 2: traded Tom Seaver back to the Mets. They got Charlie Puleo.
Speaker 2: Last from the past in two minor leaguers, including Lloyd McClendon,
Speaker 2: and in twenty fifteen, ten years ago. Today, Reds are
Speaker 2: involved in a three way trade with the Dodgers and
Speaker 2: the White Sox. The Reds give up Todd Frazier and
Speaker 2: the Reds wound up acquiring Jose Perrazza, Scott Schebler, and
Speaker 2: Brandon Dixon. Parazza is okay. Scott s Shebler had a
Speaker 2: thirty home run season for the Reds. That's a great
Speaker 2: trivia question. Who would think that Scott Schebler hit thirty
Speaker 2: home runs in a season? But not much from not
Speaker 2: much from Brandon Dixon. All right, your news of the day,
Speaker 2: and congratulations to Brandon Phillips, Aaron Harang, Reggie Sanders, and Loupenela.
Speaker 2: Phillips and Harang got the most votes on the Modern
Speaker 2: Player ballot, which featured were a total of eight nominees,
Speaker 2: and among those that did not make the cut according
Speaker 2: to the fans, that is Homer Bailey, Francisco Cordero, who
Speaker 2: still has a pretty good case. I mean Francisco Cordero
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty saves with the Red second and
Speaker 2: franchise history the team and saves four times was at
Speaker 2: All Star won forty games on their twenty ten Division
Speaker 2: Championship team. Zach Cozart, Mike Leak, Scott Roland, and Edison Volcaz.
Speaker 2: Fan votes on the Modern Player ballot were combined with
Speaker 2: ballots from media. I was part of that, and Red's
Speaker 2: alumni Reggie Sanders and Lou Panella were chosen by the
Speaker 2: Red's Hall of Fame Veterans Committee, which included, among others,
Speaker 2: Marty Brenneman. He talked about that earlier tonight on Reds
Speaker 2: Hot Stove, which considered players whose career ended more than
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago, players, managers, executives. The four Phillips, Harang, Sanders,
Speaker 2: Penola will be honored April twenty fourth through the sixth
Speaker 2: Reds Hall of Fame Induction celebration by PNC, and tickets
Speaker 2: to that gala at the Convention Center on sale REDS
Speaker 2: Museum Dot Org. I still am struck by the time
Speaker 2: Brandon Phillips spent here and the consistency. I mentioned it
Speaker 2: earlier with the home runs, but and even from a
Speaker 2: his glove is the headliner, but offensively a thirty home
Speaker 2: run season twenty one twenty and then four straight seasons
Speaker 2: of eighteen. But he drove in ninety four. One year,
Speaker 2: he drove in ninety eight, he drove in one hundred
Speaker 2: and three, he stole thirty two.
Speaker 3: Twenty five, twenty five, twenty.
Speaker 2: Three, and man, the pure joy that he played with
Speaker 2: and the connection he made with this fan base pretty
Speaker 2: amazing and very happy for all. I would say all,
Speaker 2: but I just think it's cool that Reggie Sanders gets
Speaker 2: brought back into the spotlight and remembered for the totality
Speaker 2: of his career, which I think, to me replaces the
Speaker 2: previous big picture view of Reggie by many he was, Oh,
Speaker 2: he's the guy who struck out a gazillion times in
Speaker 2: the ninety five postseason. This now becomes the biggest talking
Speaker 2: point in the memory I hope for Reds fans of
Speaker 2: Reggie Sanders now being a Red's Hall of Famer. I
Speaker 2: wish I had more time. I could have used that
Speaker 2: extra hour tonight. Thanks to Sean McMahon for producing, Thanks
Speaker 2: to you for taking a listen. Stick around.
Speaker 4: Gary.
Speaker 3: Jeff Walker is next after.
Speaker 2: News I'm back at you tomorrow night at six. This
Speaker 2: has been RNL Carrier Sports Talk, presented by Kelsey Valet
