18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,440

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,200

Speaker 6: a one to two fast ball, initially called a ball,

45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 6: but challenged by the Orioles catcher. Scoreboard graphics showed the

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 6: ball clipped the strike zone, flipped to a strike, and

47
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 6: that was straight three.

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: That was your ballgame.

49
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,520

00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 6: we're talking to the outstanding play by play voice of

92
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 6: the Dayton Dragons, Tom Nichols. Hi, Tom, you got it man.

93
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 6: The roster was announced yesterday. I know you or you're excited.

94
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 6: Dayton's got to be excited.

95
00:04:59,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: You guys.

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 6: You get the Red's top prospect, twenty year old catcher

97
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 6: Alfredo Duno.

98
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 7: Yes, and he's, at least, according to the rankings, the

99
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 7: highest rated catching prospect we've ever had. We've had two

100
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 7: first rounders, and they're both the household names for Reds fans.

101
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 7: Devin Mezerako and Tyler Stevenson both were ranked as top

102
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 7: ten prospects when they played in Dayton. But Duno, as

103
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 7: you mentioned, technically is number two. But the guy who's

104
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 7: number one is South Stuart not really a minor leaguer

105
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 7: at all anymore and won't be again, and so Duno's

106
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 7: the top player and the farm system as far as

107
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 7: prospect status, we're really anxious to see him. He's a

108
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 7: different kind of catcher physically. He's listed at six three

109
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 7: to forty eight, so you don't see many catchers like that,

110
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 7: but we're looking forward to to getting a look at him.

111
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 6: Another name that jumped out to me and I'd be

112
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 6: interested in your perspective at alfieud Or I believe it's

113
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 6: pronounced keon Vu.

114
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 7: Tell us about him well, he does have an interesting

115
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 7: background and then he played at his own state obviously

116
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 7: great baseball program, great baseball conference. He won the batting title,

117
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 7: hit over four hundred reds. Took him last year in

118
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 7: the draft, so he's actually moving up quicker than most do.

119
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 7: You don't often see a college player at the high

120
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 7: A level in his first full season, but he got

121
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 7: about a month's experience last year in Daytona. Actually won

122
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 7: the Florida State League Player of the Week his first

123
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 7: week a pro ball. So this is a guy we're

124
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 7: also very excited to see. After leading the PAC twelve

125
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 7: in battle it was still the PAC twelve is sophomore year,

126
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 7: which is twenty twenty four. He hit four thirteen, so

127
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 7: can't argue with those kind of numbers.

128
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 6: A couple of pitching names jump out. I recognize Luke

129
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 6: Hayden certainly, but there's one name I'm curious about. I

130
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 6: don't know as much about it, and he must have

131
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 6: opened some eyes last year. Tell everybody about JP or Tz.

132
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 7: He's a draft pick. They took him as what they

133
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 7: call us a draft and follow, which means you take

134
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 7: a junior college player in the draft and you let

135
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 7: him play his next season the following spring. Then you've

136
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 7: got a decision to make sign him or don't sign him.

137
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 7: They made a wise decision to sign him. He had

138
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 7: the best ERA in the entire Reds farm system last

139
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 7: year at Daytona, and his ERA was two point eight one.

140
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 7: No Reds prospect had a better ERA among starters. And

141
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 7: he'll be our opening night home starter on Tuesday when

142
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 7: we play Lake County the Cleveland Guardians Farm Club at

143
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 7: day are Ballpark in dayton Supposedly he's got a big arm.

144
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 7: I haven't seen him, but he's a guy that's a

145
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 7: junior college player and sometimes those guys can come on

146
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 7: quickly as prospects.

147
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 6: The broadcasting Hall of Famer Tom Nichols checking in tonight

148
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,640

151
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,320

Speaker 6: in the major leagues?

153
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 7: Really cool? And the funny thing about it is, and

154
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 7: I've told people this before, you know, when he was

155
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 7: taken in the in the draft by the Reds, he

156
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 7: was a supplemental first round picks who was taking like

157
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 7: the I think maybe the thirty seventh pick of the

158
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 7: draft something like that, out of high school in Florida.

159
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 7: And he earned that type of draft status really through

160
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 7: his baseball skills. He's as you've seen in Lance. He's

161
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 7: not a guy that you'd classify as a world class

162
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 7: athlete or a real tools he guy. He just can

163
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 7: play the game of baseball. He can hit. And he

164
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 7: told me, I said, Sal, guys are talking about moving

165
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 7: you to first base and he was a third baseman.

166
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 7: He said, those are people that are just bozo's. They

167
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 7: don't know what they're talking about. I'm going to stay

168
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 7: at third base and prove I can play there. Well,

169
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 7: now he's playing first base, and I'm sure he's thrilled

170
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 7: to be there in the big leagues and getting this chance.

171
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 7: And not only as a rookie did he make the

172
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 7: opening day lineup, but he hit clean up on opening

173
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 7: day and then one of the National League Player of

174
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 7: the Week his first week of the season. So you

175
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 7: know you've seen him in have to know the personality

176
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 7: that I think the fans are really going to enjoy.

177
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 7: He just believes so much in himself and he's so intense.

178
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 7: But also I think you've seen this maybe a time

179
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 7: or two this season. He does have good baseball intelligence.

180
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 7: I'm thinking of the play he was on there first

181
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 7: and third, he was on third ground all of the

182
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 7: first basically steps on the bag eliminates the force at second,

183
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 7: and he's motioning getting a rundown so he can touch

184
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 7: the plate before the runners tagged out. It didn't work out,

185
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 7: but he was thinking all the way because he's a

186
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 7: very high baseball IQ guy. But I think the fans,

187
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 7: as time goes by, they're gonna like him. He's he's

188
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 7: got a little bit of Pete Rose in him. Not

189
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 7: so much that the pure hustle, but just the love

190
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 7: of the game, the intensity and and the baseball IQ

191
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 7: and and just the ability to go up there and

192
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 7: just hit the ball hard every time.

193
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 6: At that, Boy and Tim, while we're on the theme

194
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 6: of former Dragons make it to the big leagues, and

195
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 6: you guys have been so fortunate over the years to

196
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 6: see so many eventual major leaguers churn through Dayton. How

197
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 6: about the other night where three are involved in the

198
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 6: process of a major league win, a save, and a

199
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 6: first major league appearance at all three head ties to

200
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 6: the Dragons at one point.

201
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 7: It's the starter. I'm a big Burns fan. I think

202
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 7: Burns will be a perennial All Star and a guy

203
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 7: you build a starting rotation around. He's just got that

204
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 7: kind of stuff. I mean, he's probably not gonna he

205
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 7: was a reliever in college throwing one hundred. We haven't

206
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 7: seen much of the triple digits, but he's gonna give

207
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 7: you a consistent ninety eight ninety nine, maybe touch one hundred.

208
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 7: But his slider is a very good pitch, and he

209
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 7: just looks like he's in command out there, and I

210
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 7: think there's just big things ahead for him. Then we

211
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 7: saw Jose Franco, who's spent a whole season with us

212
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 7: in Dayton, come in make his major league debut, pitch

213
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 7: scoreless relief, thinking any and two thirds. And then a

214
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 7: guy I've always been really high on, and he's not

215
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 7: perfect at this point by any means, and you'll still

216
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 7: see some outings you would win a little differently, But

217
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 7: that's Connor Phillips stuff wise. I mean, elite at the

218
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 7: major league level, ninety nine in most games, and his

219
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 7: best pitch is that sweeper that he gets lots of

220
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 7: swings and misses on. You hope as he develops competence

221
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 7: the control improves. I think it will. I think he'll

222
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 7: be a guy eventually down the road that becomes a

223
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 7: big important part of their bullpen, eighth or ninth inning

224
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 7: type of guy.

225
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 6: Last question for it always good catching up. Is it

226
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 6: safe to say, let's see, are the bags packed? Is

227
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 6: the bus loaded? Are you ready to hit the road

228
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 6: to Lansing, Michigan.

229
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 7: Exit on the bus. I've got one more to carry out.

230
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 7: There's a little light rain falling up here in Dayton.

231
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 7: We're heading to Lancing tomorrow. We'll head out in an

232
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 7: hour or actually from now it will be about half

233
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 7: an hour and get in about eleven PM and weather permitting,

234
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 7: And that's a big if right now, because it's supposed

235
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 7: to be raining up there. But we get up there.

236
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 7: We'll open our season tomorrow night with a six ZHO

237
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 7: five game, and then the home opener again is Tuesday,

238
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 7: and we invite all the fans, which to got some

239
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 7: season tickets available. Day air Ballpark is a great experience

240
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 7: and we've had I think it's now up to one

241
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty eight Dragons players go to the major leagues.

242
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 7: And you look at that Reds roster, and half thirteen

243
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 7: plus Hunter Green and nic Ldolo were injury right now

244
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 7: are former Dragons, So thirteen of the twenty six active

245
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 7: plus those two, so a lot of these guys. You're

246
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 7: getting a close up look. See at the player and

247
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 7: you'll get to know them and then see him in

248
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 7: the big league sometime soon.

249
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 6: I love a twenty sixth season of Dayton Dragons baseball. Unbelievable.

250
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 6: My wife and I anticipate getting up there soon. Want

251
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 6: to say hi to you, want to see Alfredo Duno.

252
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 6: Can't wait to check out Dragons baseball this year.

253
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 7: Thank you Dayton Dragons dot Com slash tickets and let's

254
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 7: hope for a good year. And I hope to see

255
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 7: the Reds bounce back from a couple of time losses

256
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 7: when they get the next series started. On what are

257
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 7: we at now on Friday?

258
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: I guess yes, all the days run together.

259
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 5: Baseball.

260
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: I know what is Thanks Tom having to say trip,

261
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: thank you? All right, there you go.

262
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 6: Tom Nichols, one of my favorites, thinking his eighteenth season,

263
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 6: his voice of the Dragons, thirty ninth calling baseball games

264
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 6: in over four thousand and seven hundred baseball games over

265
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 6: the years. Alfredo Duno, twenty years old, just turned twenty

266
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 6: won the MVP in the Florida State League last year.

267
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 6: He led the league in homers, RBIs, extra base hits, runs, doubles,

268
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 6: on base percentage, slugging and ops. What didn't he win?

269
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 6: That would have been much quicker to get to. I

270
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 6: don't know if there's anything he didn't win. All right,

271
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 6: Hang tight, there's more to get to, including a developing situation.

272
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 6: We're gonna get you caught up a news plus the

273
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 6: very latest on the approaching launch of Artemis two. That is,

274
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 6: we continue navigating our way till nine o'clock tonight. It's

275
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 6: Arnel Carrier Sports Talk entered by Kelsey Chevrolet on seven

Speaker 8: is way out of here one of the little Budweiser

280
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 8: party patio just above the Pirate bullpen. It's a three

281
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 8: run home run for O'Neal Cruise.

282
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 9: Well, there's the worst case scenario for Andrew Abbot here

283
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 9: early in this ball game. If you work around the

284
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 9: couple of ritis with a single, a little routine single

285
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 9: through the right side and a walk. O'Neil Cruise is

286
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 9: a guy that you're thinking in your mind you're going

287
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 9: to get out, and then you miss with the breaking

288
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 9: ball in the middle of the play.

289
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 6: That is how it sounded earlier today. Welcome back into

290
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 6: art Now Carry or sports Dot presented by Kelsey Chevrolet.

291
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 6: I'm Lance Pacalister. Thanks to those who follow along on

292
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 6: Twitter X. I'm at Lance Pacanister. I would be honored

293
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 6: if you followed. That sound you just heard came from

294
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 6: the first inning today and it felt like you knew

295
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 6: going in there was a really small margin for air

296
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 6: facing Paul Skeins, and after getting the first two batters out,

297
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 6: Andrew Rabbit gives up a three run home run to

298
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 6: O'Neil Cruz and it felt like that may very well

299
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 6: be the ballgame. Well, it turns out it was Connor

300
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 6: Phillips walking in a run in the sixth inning that

301
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 6: proved to be the difference today.

302
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: Red's lost eight to three. H The Phillips.

303
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 6: Run was the fourth run, and then Amelia Pagan in

304
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 6: the ninth that a non safe situation got knocked around

305
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 6: for four runs, final of eight to three. We can

306
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 6: talk about that from a number of different aspects that

307
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 6: include you now at five to one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, one,

308
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 6: eight hundred, the big one. We have to add this

309
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 6: to the mix. They scored eight runs in the series

310
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 6: eight in the three game series. In the first six

311
00:15:54,840 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 6: games of the season, they have scored seventeen runs zero six, three, two,

312
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 6: three and three. They are batting one eighty seven one

313
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 6: p eighty seven as a team. How about these numbers.

314
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 6: Nova Marte is zero for eight, Key Brian Hayes is

315
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 6: one for fifteen, Tyler Stevenson is one for thirteen, Spencer

316
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 6: Steer is one for seventeen.

317
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: TJ.

318
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 6: Friedel is two for twenty two. Gope, I think that's

319
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 6: our starting point. Tonight will navigate through the first six

320
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 6: games of the season. What to take away from today?

321
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 6: You knew after losing last night the opportunity to take

322
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 6: the series would require beating Paul Skens in a minor victory,

323
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 6: and perhaps miracle, the Reds actually scored against Paul Skeens

324
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 6: today five innings. His streak was snapped at thirty one

325
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 6: consecutive scoreless innings pitching against the Reds. He's now in

326
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 6: his career in six starts against the Reds five and

327
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 6: oher with a zero point five two earned run average.

328
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 6: Let's do this, Let's get a check on news and

329
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 6: then we'll begin the seven o'clock hour with the current

330
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 6: state of the Reds combined with a story I read

331
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 6: in The Athletic that asked a great question, and it

332
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 6: was simply this, what happened to the three hundred hitters

333
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 6: in Major League Baseball? Heck, for the Reds, I take

334
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 6: two hundred right now. For some, that is all ahead.

335
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 6: It's RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven

336
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 6: hundred WW.

Speaker 1: And The following takes place between seven pm and eight pm.

338
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 6: All right, here we go seven ten, seven hundred WLW

339
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 6: RNL carry or Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet. I'm

Speaker 6: Carroll will be a quizit all this in just a bit.

345
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 6: This is where you come in. I've got a couple

346
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 6: of topics to set up in this hour programming note

347
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 6: coming up at seven thirty five. If you're the parent

348
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 6: of someone who plays youth sports, your perspective would be gold.

349
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 6: I was reading a story in the Wall Street Journal

350
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 6: last week about the rising cost of youth sports and

351
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 6: how it is become Let me pull up that exact

352
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 6: headline set a forty billion dollar game, the forty billion

353
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 6: dollar game of youth sports, and how much it is

354
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 6: costing parents for their kids to play youth sports in

355
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 6: this day and age. That coming up not now, at

356
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 6: seven point thirty five. I would love to hear from

357
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 6: you from perspective on that but for now, I'd love

358
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 6: to hear from perspective on this. The Reds are currently

359
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 6: hitting as a team a small sample size alert coming up.

360
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 6: In six games, the Reds are hitting one't eighty seven.

361
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 6: They are one of six teams in Major League Baseball

362
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 6: currently hitting under two hundred, one of six teams hitting

363
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 6: under two hundred. There are eleven Major League Baseball teams

364
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 6: hitting under too eleven right now, the major League average

365
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 6: for batting average is two thirty two. Now we're not

366
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 6: even a full week end of the season, but it

367
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 6: leads me to this. I love the Athletic. I subscribed

368
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 6: to The Athletic. It's the story last week I read

369
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 6: and I booked Mark and I said, that's a topic,

370
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 6: and man lo and behold. It fits on a day

371
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 6: where the Reds lose a series to the Pirates and

372
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 6: only score eight runs in the series and are wolful

373
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 6: at the plate right now, because if you combine let's see,

374
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 6: what did I just figure? Steer, Stevenson and Hayes are

375
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 6: three for forty five. If you toss in TJ. Friedel,

376
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 6: that group is five for sixty seven this season. So

377
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 6: it leads to this story in the Athletic. Whatever happened

378
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 6: to the three hundred hitter? Why the benchmark of hitting

379
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 6: is going extinct? That's the story from the Athletic. It

380
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 6: was a wonderful read, and it's got so many different

381
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 6: offshoots and things to think about to lead us into

382
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 6: discussion about.

383
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: Why is this happening? What is it aby hit three

384
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: hundred anymore?

385
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 10: You know?

386
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 6: It points out Francisco Lindor when he came to the

387
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 6: league in twenty fifteen, he did what their words in

388
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 6: this story. I think it's Tyler Kepner who wrote this. Uh,

389
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 6: Francisco Lindor hit three hundred in his rookie season, and

390
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 6: then he did it again in twenty sixteen. But in

391
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 6: the nine season since, he's hit two sixty seven, and

392
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 6: he said the following to the Athletic. The game is

393
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 6: not telling you to hit three hundred. The game is

394
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 6: telling you to get on base and slug. So that's

395
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 6: what most of the guys are doing.

396
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: You know.

397
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 6: I just read on my Facebook page Lance Bacalister Sports

398
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 6: Talk somebody said I set my bar low for the Reds.

399
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: I had low expectations.

400
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 6: I was just hoping for one three hundred hitter and

401
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 6: I replied to him, I said, wait a minute, you

402
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 6: set your bar low and you were hoping for one

403
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 6: three hundred hitter. I said, do you realize how many

404
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 6: guys hit three hundred in the National League last year?

405
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 6: The entire National League? Among all the National League hitters

406
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 6: who qualified, one player hit three hundred.

407
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 2: Trey Turner of the Phillies. He hit exactly three hundred.

408
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: That's it.

409
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 6: In the American League, six players did it. Aaron Judge

410
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 6: hit three point thirty one. He's the only player in

411
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 6: baseball that hit above three to eleven.

412
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: Why? Why? And what can be done about it?

413
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 6: Josh Naylor the Mariners was quoted in this piece is saying,

414
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 6: no offense to the guys back then, meaning back in

415
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 6: the day when there were higher batting averages. But he said,

416
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 6: I mean it was still the big leagues back then,

417
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 6: But I feel like the game changes and pitchers throw

418
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 6: way harder with so much more movement on their pitches.

419
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 6: And the story gets into Luisa Rise from the Reds

420
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 6: dabbed a little bit. We had some conversations about Luisa Rise.

421
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 6: Does he do anything for him? He's a three time

422
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 6: batting champion. He was a free agent late until the offseason,

423
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 6: and why is nobody signing Luisa Rice. He hit two

424
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 6: ninety two last season, led the league hits, and he

425
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 6: had to settle for a one year contract for twelve million,

426
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 6: which may is a lot to you and me, but

427
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 6: it's peanuts in Major League Baseball. This is a guy

428
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 6: who led the league in hits last year. He's only

429
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 6: twenty eight years old, He's a three time batting champ,

430
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 6: and as the story points out in The Athletic, the

431
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 6: industry made it clear how little his skill set is

432
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 6: valued batting average. Adam Fraser, in the story of the

433
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Angels said they obviously pay more to guys

434
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 6: today who can do damage in the lineup, so that's

435
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 6: a factor, and David Frost, the AIDS general manager, said,

436
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 6: it's hard not to strike out today.

437
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: Think about that.

438
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 6: What we say last week Opening Day with Willie at

439
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 6: the Holy Grail. I believe the number was I had

440
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 6: written down one hundred and fifty three players last year

441
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 6: uck at at least one hundred times. One hundred and

442
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 6: fifty three guys struck at at least one hundred times.

443
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 6: I think of everybody who hit at least thirty home

444
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 6: runs each of those players averaged one hundred and fifty

445
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 6: five strikeouts. There were a couple of guys who struck

446
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 6: out over two hundred times. David Frost, the or forced rather,

447
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 6: the Angels general manager, pointed out Game seven of the

448
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 6: nineteen sixty World Series. Bill Maasarosky the Pirates, there were

449
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 6: zero strikeouts. There were zero strikeouts in Game seven of

450
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 6: the nineteen sixty World Series, and he said, it's a

451
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 6: totally different game that we're playing. I looked it up

452
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 6: for curiosity's sake. One of the greatest baseball games of

453
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 6: all time. Although the Reds lost Game six of the

454
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 6: nineteen seventy five World Series, the red struck out seven

455
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 6: times in twelve innings. The Red Sox struck out seven

456
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 6: times in twelve innings.

457
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: That's it.

458
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 6: There's only struck out thirty times for the entire World Series.

459
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 6: They played a seven game World Series, one of the

460
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 6: greatest of all time, and the Reds averaged about four

461
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 6: strikeouts per game.

462
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 5: So what.

463
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 6: Do you believe it is and what do you believe

464
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 6: needs to change, if anything? And I think Stephen Kwan,

465
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 6: who's one of the finer hitters in the game today,

466
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 6: made an interesting point when he said pitchers today are

467
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 6: elevating and throwing much fat, throwing harder than they've ever

468
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 6: thrown before, and it's elevating the art of pitching more

469
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 6: and more. But he said it's not just guys throwing harder.

470
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 6: In fact, if you look, the percentage use of a

471
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 6: fastball is actually in decline. Guys are throwing harder than

472
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 6: they've ever thrown before, but they're not throwing the fastball

473
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 6: as much because they've got so many other pitches, and

474
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 6: so much of this is about the chase for spin

475
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 6: and spin rate and breaking balls, and guys have killer fastballs,

476
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 6: but they've got an assortment of offspe pitches as well.

477
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 6: The average fastball velocity over the last ten years has

478
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 6: jumped over two miles an hour. According to Fangrafts, fastball

479
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 6: speed has jumped from ninety two and a half up

480
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 6: to ninety four and a half. But there's so much

481
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 6: more beyond that, because it's not just one fastball. Guys

482
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 6: are throwing different types of fastballs. They'll have three different

483
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 6: types of fastballs. Hunter Green has four different types of fastball.

484
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 6: There's a four seaming, there's a thinker, there's a cutter,

485
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 6: and so you've got three fastballs to deal with.

486
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: Throwing harder than they've ever thrown them before.

487
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 6: And then there's two or three spin balls, spin rate,

488
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 6: spin it, maybe a change up tossed in. How prey

489
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 6: tell would you be expected to hit that on a

490
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 6: consistent basis? And I thought Craig Council made the best point,

491
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 6: one of the best points of this argument the Cubs manager,

492
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 6: and he said he remembered reading that Ted Williams when

493
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 6: he hit four hundred. The year he hit four hundred,

494
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 6: he faced like seventy pitchers the entire year. And Craig said, nowadays,

495
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 6: a modern hitter will face about three hundred pitchers in

496
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 6: a season. And Craig said, I mean that seems hard.

497
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 6: Think about it. We're in a day and age where

498
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 6: you're gonna see the starter maybe two at bats. Rarely

499
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 6: do you get a chance to get a third look

500
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 6: at him, and then it's to the bullpen for a

501
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 6: power arm in the sixth, and then a different one

502
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 6: in the seventh, and a different one in the eighth,

503
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 6: and a different one of the ninth. In a lot

504
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 6: of cases, so back in the day air quotes, Ted

505
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 6: Williams would face seventy three pitchers in the entire season.

506
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: Where guys would pitch complete games left and right, you might.

507
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 6: See two pitchers in a game. Think of the difference

508
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 6: between preparing for two pitchers in a game. We're preparing

509
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 6: for seventy three pitchers in a season versus preparing to

510
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 6: face three hundred pitchers in a season. In fact, the

511
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 6: Athletic had a just a fabulous comparison, and they picked

512
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 6: different eras of baseball and found players who all had

513
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 6: about the same number of trips to the plate in

514
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 6: their career, around ten thousand or so. And they compared

515
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 6: Ted Williams, Willie McCovey, Tory Hunter, and Andrew McCutchen all right, clearly,

516
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 6: four different eras of baseball, all with about the same

517
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 6: number of plate appearances. Here are the number of pitchers

518
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 6: those hitters saw in their career. Ted Williams faced four

519
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 6: hundred and forty seven pitchers in his career. Willie McCovey

520
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 6: faced six hundred and forty two pitchers in his career,

521
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 6: Tory Hunter faced twelve hundred and seventy nine, and Andrew

522
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 6: McCutcheon has faced fifteen hundred and twenty seven pitchers. Andrew

523
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 6: McCutcheon in about the same number of trips to the

524
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 6: plate as Ted Williams has faced, almost four times as

525
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 6: many pitchers. You remember what Major League Baseball tried to

526
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 6: do after the twenty twenty two season. Batting average had dipped,

527
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 6: so they eliminated the shift, banned the shift. Can't do

528
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 6: that taking away too many hits, and the league batting

529
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 6: average bumped up a few points. Well, now it's it's

530
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 6: it's back down again. Do you know what the average

531
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 6: major league hitter hit last year? Take a guess? Wild

532
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 6: guess last year? Major League Baseball average hitter two forty five.

533
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 6: By the way, would you care to guess what the

534
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 6: Reds hit last year? Two forty five? The Reds were

535
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 6: an average major league hitting team last season. Trey Turner

536
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 6: said in the story, I don't think it's talked about

537
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 6: enough that there's not really any bad defenders in the game.

538
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 6: Even the bad defenders are way better than they used

539
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 6: to be. There's not many big left fielders, big right fielders,

540
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 6: big first baseman.

541
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: The game is way more athletic.

542
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 6: Even though you can't shift, you can play position yourself

543
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 6: close to that second base bag and on either side

544
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 6: of the infield. I looked up this morning. I went

545
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 6: by decades. I went over the last fifty years in

546
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 6: Major League baseball. This season, your average major league hitter

547
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 6: is hitting two thirty two. Ten years ago, the average

548
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 6: major league hitter hit two fifty five. Twenty years ago,

549
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 6: they hit two sixty nine. Thirty years ago, they hit

550
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 6: two seventy. So thirty years ago to seventy was the

551
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 6: average in Major League baseball. Last season it was down

552
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 6: to two forty five. What what.

553
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: Do you do?

554
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 6: I mean you talk about clearly the scales and the

555
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 6: domination tilting in favor of the pitchers. The headline. What

556
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 6: happened to the three hundred hitter one in the National

557
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 6: League last year? Seven in the entire game. Let's go

558
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 6: to the phones at five, one, three, seven, four, nine hundred,

559
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 6: the big one, Henry, you were on seven hundred WLW.

560
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: Hey, okay, how are you all right?

561
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 11: So when I grew up in the seventies, if you

562
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 11: hit below to seventy, you probably weren't on the team.

563
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 11: And pitchers pitch complete games. Hitters were embarrassed to strikeout,

564
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 11: you know, fifty times in a year. Uh, they took

565
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 11: pride in that they made contact now it's just.

566
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 2: Home run derby pretty much.

567
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 11: But I watch a game now it's everybody comes in

568
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 11: the game to throw ninety seven ninety eight miles an hour.

569
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 11: I remember the first time I ever saw ninety miles

570
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 11: an hour my show about Drop. And now it's now

571
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 11: it's everybody. Yeah, and you see so many swings and missus.

572
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 11: Now it's like, you know, you get you get paid.

573
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 11: Hit forty home runs and strike out two hundred times

574
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 11: and hit two twenty that's considered.

575
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 5: To be a good season.

576
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 11: But when I play, or I play, when I watched

577
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 11: the game, I love the game. Back in the seventies,

578
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 11: there were strategy pitchers pitched. They were out there to

579
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 11: pitch nine innings. They didn't pitch three innings and then

580
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 11: come out for the next guy. It's just a different

581
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 11: game today, and I don't like it, to be honest

582
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,239
Speaker 11: with you, I don't watch it anymore because it just

583
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 11: puts me to sleep. But you know, the pride that

584
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 11: the hitters used to have to, you know, get up

585
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 11: there and make contact. Now it's just all different now.

586
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 11: And I'll be honest with you, I don't know what

587
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 11: you do to correct it. But when everybody can throw

588
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,719
Speaker 11: about one hundred miles an hour. You're going to get

589
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 11: one hundred and fifty strikeouts every year and guys in

590
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 11: two twenty five.

591
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 5: That's just the way it is.

592
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: Henry, thank you for checking in tonight.

593
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 6: I appreciate your thoughts and he used a great word strategy,

594
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 6: because we'll talk about it when we come back. If

595
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 6: you were a hitter today, if you were a team

596
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 6: today and you know it was harder to hit than

597
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 6: any point in the history of baseball, what do you

598
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 6: think your odds are of succeeding? Which gives you a

599
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 6: better chance swinging for one hit a home run that's

600
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 6: a run, or believing you can strain together multiple hits

601
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 6: in the same inning to produce a run that and

602
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 6: more as we continue RNL carr Or Sports Talk presented

603
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 6: by Kelsey Chevallet seven hundred WLW. You're glad you were here.

604
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 6: I love topics like this. I kind of dork out.

605
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 6: I admit, well one known I dork out, But I

606
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 6: love this because I love trying to figure out why

607
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 6: things are happening and what can be done about it.

608
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 6: And the fascinating part of where the three hundred hitter

609
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 6: has gone in Major League Baseball. The story from the

610
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 6: Athletic is this, and the last caller mentioned it, he

611
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 6: used the word strategy. Look at it this way, and

612
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 6: I know there's great frustration with how the game is

613
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 6: played now compared to how the game used to be played.

614
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 6: But a lot of this is simply running the numbers.

615
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 6: If right now the league batting average is two thirty two,

616
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 6: if you are getting a hit twenty three percent of

617
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 6: the time, do the math. What are the odds in

618
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 6: this day and age, when it is harder to hit

619
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 6: than at any point in the history.

620
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 2: Of the game.

621
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 6: What are the odds you're going to be able to

622
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 6: as a team get three hits in an inning to

623
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 6: try to start a rally and produce a run. Those

624
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 6: are long odds. So what's the answer to that?

625
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: Man?

626
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 6: Can we really get three hits in one inning? It's

627
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 6: gonna be tough. Can we grip it and rip it

628
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 6: and try to hit a home run and one swing

629
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 6: of the bat is gonna get at least a run?

630
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 6: Yes we can.

631
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 2: Who's the beauty of au? Any who Suarez? On Sunday?

632
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 6: How many times did we talk last season about the

633
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 6: Red's inability to score runs? Au and who sware as

634
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 6: a component that was missing. One swing of the bat

635
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 6: produced three runs. Guys will swing for the fences because

636
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 6: the math says swing for a run because I don't

637
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 6: think we've got three guys in this inning who are

638
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 6: gonna be able to get on base to score a run.

639
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 6: The other aspect of this, the pitching side of it,

640
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 6: and the frustration of well, guys used to throw nine innings.

641
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 6: What happened, Well, when they were throwing nine innings, pick

642
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 6: your number of pitches, they'd throw one hundred and twenty

643
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty five pitches whatever. That was great,

644
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 6: but they'd be tired later in the game and batters

645
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 6: would get a fourth or sometimes a fifth look at

646
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 6: that pitcher. So a pitcher may be wearing down a

647
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 6: little bit. The more you see a pitcher, the more success,

648
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 6: so you understand where that's going. Think of the change now.

649
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 6: The average pitcher last year in baseball through just under

650
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 6: five and a third innings and eighty seven eighty five pitches.

651
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 6: The average starter last year through eighty five pitches red starters,

652
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 6: by the way, eighty seven. They were left longer than

653
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 6: the major leg average. But if you're going about five

654
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 6: innings about eighty five pitches, and then you're coming out.

655
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 6: What does it give you the luxury of doing You

656
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 6: let it all hang out, just rock and fire, baby,

657
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 6: and it is gas and toss in the hard spin,

658
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 6: the spin rate, mix and match it. And then after

659
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 6: that it's another guy who's gonna do it for one inning,

660
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 6: and another was going to do it for one inning,

661
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 6: and another guy who was gonna do it for one inning.

662
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 6: So imagine the difference between seeing a pitcher four or

663
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 6: five times in a game who was throwing his complete game,

664
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 6: who was at least tiring to some extent, versus looking

665
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 6: at a guy throwing it as hard as he can

666
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 6: for five innings while torquing, getting a torque on that

667
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 6: arm and the spin rate and doing things in baseball

668
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 6: you didn't know what possible. And then after getting a

669
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 6: look at him twice and you think, all right, I

670
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 6: got kind of a feel for him. Here comes the

671
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 6: next guy out of the pen, and the next guy

672
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 6: out of the pen, and the next guy. It's not

673
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 6: that pitchers can't go deep into games. The numbers say,

674
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 6: don't do it. Why do you think a manager takes

675
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 6: a picture out after five and a third on average

676
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 6: like last year in Major League Baseball, because the numbers

677
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 6: will back up. The more a hitter sees the pitcher,

678
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 6: the more success they have, So it just coincides. The

679
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 6: third time through the batting order is where the numbers

680
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 6: begin to decline. So that third time is usually around

681
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 6: the fifth inning, and it's around eighty five pitches. That's

682
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 6: why they're leaving the game. All right, that's enough. I

683
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 6: got you for five and a third. You're about to

684
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 6: see these guys for the third time. We don't want that.

685
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 6: I got your best for five and a third. Here

686
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 6: comes the parade of power flame throwers out of the pin.

687
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: So what do you do?

688
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't I don't know. How how

689
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 6: do you tilted back? Not to the advantage of the bat?

690
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 6: How do you tilted back to the middle?

691
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 2: And Monroe? We go, Willa, you're on seven hundred wlw.

692
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 12: Hey to answer.

693
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 3: I'm loving this. My first thought is, let's drop the

694
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 3: man a little bit and move it back, maybe a

695
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 3: foot and a half, and let me tell you why. Yeah,

696
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 3: let me tell you why. These guys now are six

697
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 3: foot four or six foot six, throwing one hundred miles

698
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: an hour and if you if you think of that

699
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 3: six foot four frame, and they're not standing on the rubber,

700
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 3: they're actually in front of a little bit. And when

701
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,959
Speaker 3: they stretch out at that six foot four, six foot

702
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: six frame, they're out there four foot so they're four

703
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 3: foot from sixty foot six, they're six feet tall, they're

704
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 3: three or four four foot arms. You're throwing it forty

705
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 3: feet away from the batner.

706
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 6: They are right on top of you, and you point

707
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 6: out the mound. The reason some say lower the mound.

708
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 6: The higher you are, the more break you get on

709
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 6: those breaking pitches. If you lower that mound a little bit,

710
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 6: then you take away some of that break. And I,

711
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 6: you know, it's funny you mentioned moving the mound back.

712
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 6: I ran the numbers during the break. If you were

713
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 6: to move the mound back, just say a foot. Let's say,

714
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 6: for argument's sake, they go from sixty feet six inches

715
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 6: to sixty one feet six inches. That would reduce a

716
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 6: one hundred miles hour fastball to feeling about ninety eight

717
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 6: miles an hour. And I think that would be of

718
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 6: some help. It wouldn't be a total game changer, but

719
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 6: it helped the process a little bit.

720
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 3: Well. And you know, if I'm not mistaken that sixty

721
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 3: foot six is measured from.

722
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 5: The point of the plate.

723
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: I believe you are correct.

724
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 3: So it's not sixty foot six, you know, from the

725
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: front of the plate. It's just fifty nine something.

726
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 6: The sense of helplessness for batters I fully appreciate, and

727
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 6: for the people who ask those batteries, well, why didn't

728
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 6: you bunt?

729
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.

730
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 6: How'd you like to square around and squat down and

731
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 6: try to hold a bat level and try to hit

732
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 6: a pitch that is breaking like it's never broken before,

733
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 6: Or he's coming at one hundred and two miles an hour.

734
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, with a mantain. Heind this six foot six

735
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: guy actually looks like an eight.

736
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 6: Further, I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for

737
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 6: the hitters. Hey, Willy, good talking to you.

738
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: Oh thank you?

739
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 6: All right, I love the conversation. We'll pick up Tim,

740
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 6: We'll pick up Aaron, We'll pick up you. I've got

741
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 6: a topic around the corner on youth sports and the

742
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 6: cost that is ahead. It's RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented

743
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 6: by Kelsey Chevrolet seven hundred WLW.

744
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 13: Meet Patty Thomas.

745
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 14: Patty's dream was to be a movie star. But after

746
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 14: years her dream was going nowhere. She was ready to

747
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 14: give up. Then she started listening to my show. She

748
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 14: heard the latest news and financial information. Inspiring guest. Patty

749
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 14: didn't become a star, she became the highest paid agent

750
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 14: in Hollywood, raking in that fifteen percent from all of

751
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 14: her star clients.

752
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 13: Patty Thomas another Tom Brenneman's success story.

753
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 5: I need an agent, and I wonder.

754
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 14: Why she hasn't called back.

755
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 13: Begin your own success story with Tom Brenneman tomorrow morning

756
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 13: at five am on seven hundred WLW Attention.

757
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 14: Patriotic Americans to honor the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary

758
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 14: of American independence the United States mean just striking a

759
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 14: groundbreaking up.

760
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 2: In about eight minutes eight minutes.

761
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 6: The athletic ask this week, whatever happened to the three

762
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 6: hundred hitter? Why the benchmark of batting is going extinct?

763
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 6: They quote Terry Francona, who says, and I quote hittings

764
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 6: f and hard. Now there's no getting around it. You

765
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 6: used to be like, oh man, let's get to the bullpen.

766
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 6: If we get to the bullpen first, we're going to win.

767
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 6: Now it's like, be careful what you wish for f

768
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 6: that I wouldn't want to hit. Now, that's Terry Francona

769
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 6: in the Athletic talking about this. You know, I mentioned

770
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 6: I looked back over decades and if you go back

771
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 6: to nineteen, this is two thousand and six. Last year

772
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 6: there were what did I say? There were seven batters

773
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 6: that hit three hundred one in the National League, six

774
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 6: in the American League, a total of seven.

775
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: If you go back to two thousand and.

776
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 6: Six, there were thirty eight players who hit three hundred

777
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 6: and now we're down to seven. And even the runs,

778
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 6: that's another point of the runs per game always is

779
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 6: the ultimate determiner of what's more important, how many runs

780
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 6: are actually being scored. From two thousand and six, runs

781
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 6: are down about over half a run per game as well.

782
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 6: But man, from thirty eight three hundred hitters to seven

783
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 6: last season, back to the phones, how about Springboro kettering

784
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 6: and other parts in Springboro? Aaron, Welcome to Sports Talk anyways.

785
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 5: Enjoyed the SPS always, Thank you. Just a couple of comments,

786
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 5: maybe a little bit disagreement with yourself some callers. You know,

787
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 5: I grew up in the seventies and eighties, and I'll

788
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 5: tell you that I think part of the reason you're

789
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 5: quoting all these stats at Sabermetrics. I mean, two thousand

790
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 5: and six having thirty eight players in three hundred. It's

791
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 5: a different game. You didn't have guys that were always

792
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 5: swinging for the fence. Okay, Today we don't care if

793
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 5: a hitter strikes out two hundred times as long as

794
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 5: we can hit thirty bombs. Okay, it's a totally different name.

795
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 5: And as far as the pitchers go.

796
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, but now, but before you make that second point,

797
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 6: understand because that's what the math says. I if you

798
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 6: can't get multiple hits in an inning, the percentages say,

799
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 6: then swing for a home run that will mean at

800
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 6: least a run. Rather than thinking, well, we can get

801
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 6: three guys to get a hit in this inning, good

802
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 6: luck of that happening. So it's simply the calculation of

803
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 6: what do you have a better chance of doing.

804
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 3: Right.

805
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 5: But again it goes back to the whole game has changed.

806
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm a high school baseball coach, okay, and

807
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 5: you know we don't have guys that can swing and

808
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 5: hit the ball with a fence. So we teach small ball, okay,

809
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 5: and you know you have to have a different approach,

810
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 5: or you should have a different approach with two strikes

811
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 5: versus when you know you've got a hitter's count.

812
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 6: But all due respect to your high school level, it's

813
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 6: not the major league level where the numbers make it

814
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 6: is difficult as it's ever been to get more than

815
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 6: one hit in a single inning, to score a single run.

816
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 5: No Lance, I understand that. But the guys that are

817
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 5: in the Major League at one point they played high

818
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 5: school ball and then they played college ball. Okay, so

819
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 5: that the game has suddenly changed for many reasons. And

820
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 5: when we talk about the pictures, when you talk about

821
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 5: the pictures today, like you said on five point one

822
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 5: five point two innings, you want to get to those

823
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 5: specialists in the bullpen. Okay, That, in my opinion is

824
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 5: a is a situation where with Coddleby's pictures for so long,

825
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 5: with pitch counts, back in the day when we had

826
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 5: Nolan Ryan, we had Steve Carlton, we had Roger Kleminty.

827
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 6: For of the greatest pictures of all time, that those

828
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 6: are the outliers, those are the greatest pictures of that.

829
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 6: What do you mean they're for the greatest of all time?

830
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 6: And It's not that they're not throwing that many today,

831
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 6: it's their effectiveness is better if they don't.

832
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 5: But my point is those guys got stronger as the

833
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 5: game went on.

834
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 2: Those guys are the best they ever changed, right.

835
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 5: But we're not producing those guys now because we're having

836
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 5: people on seventy eighty and ninety pitch counts. Okay, these

837
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 5: guys are never gonna get great. You've got to look

838
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 5: at hundred Green. How many starts has he given us? Now?

839
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 5: In his what seven eight year career? He can't get

840
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 5: over twenty five starts in a game. The guy's a

841
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 5: walking entry machine. Nick Rordolo's a blister factory. I mean,

842
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 5: these pictures are coddled from day one, and so therefore

843
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 5: you've changed the game fundamentally. Where you're you're great. If

844
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 5: you got a starter, then go five five point two inning.

845
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: But eron again.

846
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 6: I'll say, if the numbers indicate you're not as effective

847
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 6: facing a hitter the third time, why would you then

848
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 6: let him face the hitter the third time?

849
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a simple calculation.

850
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 6: You want to change the game and get to that,

851
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 6: I'm saying you can't change the results.

852
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 2: I know, but you're saying that, But I'm telling you.

853
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 6: The bottom line is if a manager says, if I

854
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 6: let my starter face this line up a third time,

855
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 6: the numbers say his effectiveness drops.

856
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 2: Why would I want him to face.

857
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 6: The line up the third time when I've got a

858
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 6: young flamethrower coming in for the next inning.

859
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 7: Look, we talked, why would.

860
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 2: I want to do that?

861
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 15: Just?

862
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 2: I mean, just that's what, But but.

863
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 5: Why I'm trying to get to the point.

864
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 2: But but tell me why you why you would do that?

865
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 2: That's all I'm asking.

866
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 6: Why would you send him back out there if he's

867
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 6: not going to be as effective the third time.

868
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 5: In that scenario.

869
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 2: You're right, But that's the scenario of baseball right now.

870
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 5: But that's the point. The whole game is changed. I

871
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 5: had why do you?

872
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 2: But why do you think it's changed?

873
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 6: We're going and we're talking in circles because you can't

874
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 6: get three hits in an inning very much anymore, because.

875
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 5: The guys are all swinging for the.

876
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 6: We're a dog. We're a dog circling a tree right now.

877
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,720
Speaker 6: We're I love this debate. I gotta run because I'm waylate.

878
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 6: Thank you for checking in, But we're circling back to

879
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 6: the same thing every time you're swinging for the fences,

880
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 6: because you can't construct an inning.

881
00:46:58,120 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: Of three or four hits.

882
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 6: So would you rather struggle with the fact, Hey, do

883
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 6: we think against this picture, throwing this speed and with

884
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 6: this torque and spin rate, that we can construct a

885
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 6: rally in this inning? What are the odds of that

886
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 6: versus grip it and rip it and try to hit bombs.

887
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 6: I know nobody wants to hear that, but if you

888
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 6: run the math, what would you do? Would you say, no, no, no, no,

889
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be stubborn here. I think we can get

890
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 6: three hits in this inning. And I'm not saying it's

891
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 6: a complete sellout to the home run in every single

892
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 6: at bat, but you certainly understand the math. If it's

893
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 6: harder to get a hit in this day and age

894
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 6: than any point in the history of the game, would

895
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 6: you take your chances saying au haanio, let it fly?

896
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 6: Or would you say I think this Red's lineup, I

897
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 6: believe that Will Benson and Matt McClain and Dame Myers

898
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 6: can strain together three hits in this inning and we're

899
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 6: gonna score a run. See how hard it's become. It

900
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 6: has changed. That's why it's changed. And so the answer

901
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 6: to the change is then, well, screw that. We're just

902
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 6: gonna try to hit home runs and down goes to

903
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 6: batting average and up go the strikeouts.

904
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 2: But what's the alternative.

905
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 6: How many people are putting balls in play against pictures today?

906
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: I mean, strikeouts are king. I mean, think of it.

907
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 6: The average hitter last year hit two forty five. How

908
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 6: many players in the seventies hit two forty five, but

909
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 6: even stay in.

910
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 4: The big leagues.

911
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 6: And now that's your average hitter. Oh, I love stuff

912
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 6: like this. That was a great call, Aaron, Thank you.

913
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 6: Uh two hours in the books. When we come back,

914
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 6: I gotta make a decision. I want to do this

915
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 6: one topic, but I don't know if I can do

916
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 6: it justice. I may wait to do it tomorrow night.

917
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 6: I think I might do that. Let me let me

918
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 6: think I need a time out, call timeout and uh ooh.

919
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 6: The surprise of what we're gonna do next is we

920
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 6: continue after a check on News RNL Carrier Sports Talk

Speaker 6: got pushed together and then i just ran out of time,

1025
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 6: and to do it justice, I'm going to have to

1026
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 6: slide the youth sports topic to tomorrow night seven o'clock

1027

1030
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 6: deep in talk about a story from the athletic wondering

1031
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 6: where all the three hundred hitters went and what has

1032
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 6: happened in Major League Baseball where pitching has become so

1033
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 6: dominant that the task of hitting is as big, a

1034
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 6: sure a bigger chore than it has been in the

1035
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 6: history of the game, and what to do about it,

1036
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 6: if anything.

1037
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 2: For now, I'm going to do this about it.

1038
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 6: I'm going to take some more calls and then we'll

1039
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 6: talk reds from earlier today kettering we go. Hey, Tim,

1040
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 6: welcome to Sports Talk.

1041
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 10: How you doing tonight?

1042
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,240
Speaker 2: I'm okay, how about you?

1043
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 23: Good good?

1044
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 2: Thank you?

1045
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 10: Hey. I did have one thing I wanted to ask

1046
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 10: you about, and not necessarily me, Tito, but the more

1047
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 10: you thought of the UH players that the team's having

1048
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 10: a picture for the system for the of the picture

1049
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 10: for the eighth and the picture for the ninth, I

1050
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 10: think you can't really count on four people having their

1051
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 10: a game on the same night, and there's always going

1052
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 10: to be someone that that's.

1053
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 5: Not going to be up to par, and I think that's.

1054
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 12: Hurt the red in the last couple of years.

1055
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 2: I think that is a great point.

1056
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,280
Speaker 6: I think it's what would be the counter for even

1057
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 6: all of baseball that wants to have their starters go

1058
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 6: just over five innings, just what you made. Can you

1059
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 6: really bank on guys four night to night all being good.

1060
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 6: There might be one be great, one be good, one

1061
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 6: be okay, and one be poor, and you've lost the

1062
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 6: game as a result. So it's the it's the the

1063
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 6: domino effect of that decision. Sometimes it's gonna hurt you

1064
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 6: because you're just at the the odds say, four guys

1065
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 6: aren't gonna be good every night pitching out of the bullpen.

1066
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:26,439
Speaker 10: Yeah, it seemed frustrating two years ago, and I'm sure

1067
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 10: Tito does it to some degree, But when that guy

1068
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 10: would pitch ten pitch seventh innings and just boil them away,

1069
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 10: and then they bring in somebody else for the eighth

1070
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 10: and give up the lead, it was just frustrating from

1071
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 10: a fansim.

1072
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Tim, I'm glad you brought that up, because

1073
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 6: last night it was so amazing. They had to They

1074
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 6: kept brock Burke out there and he actually pitched two

1075
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 6: and a third innings of relief. And he only needed

1076
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 6: twenty pitches, so it was perfect. They needed him to

1077
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 6: get seven outs last night. But it just doesn't happen. Uh,

1078
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 6: it doesn't happen. A whole been saying the bigger picture.

1079
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 6: I don't honestly know why owners are spending so much

1080
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 6: on starting pitching anymore and paying pitchers thirty forty million

1081
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 6: dollars a year if they're only going to pitch about

1082
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,280
Speaker 6: five innings a game in about one hundred and fifty

1083
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 6: innings a year, I'd stop paying pitchers so much. I'd say,

1084
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 6: if you're not going to pitch deeper into games, I'm

1085
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 6: not gonna pay it.

1086
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 2: Pay as much as I used to.

1087
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 10: Rob And the last point I'm gonna make the Reds

1088
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 10: definitely need to stop bringing in Pagan in the ninth

1089
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 10: inning of a if it's not a safe situation. Historically,

1090
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 10: he's just been poor. I think he's a pressure pitcher,

1091
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 10: and today's effort was just was a pitiful to say the.

1092
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 6: Least, No doubt, No doubt, Tim, I enjoyed this. Thank

1093
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 6: you for hanging on, Thanks for calling.

1094
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 2: Have a great night. You you as.

1095
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 6: Well, man, that was some fantastic conversation. I want to

1096
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 6: add this we're we're about two hours removed from when

1097
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 6: we were originally talking about her in ninety minutes last

1098
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 6: talking about the Reds. Feel as though there's a more

1099
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 6: meat on the bone for Reds conversation with you as

1100
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 6: well at five, one, three, seven, four, nine, seven hundred

1101
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 6: The Big oneing Day. What a frustrating series for the Reds.

1102
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 6: They lose the series to the Pirates. They lose today

1103
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 6: eight to three, after losing last night eight to three.

1104
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 6: You knew going in with Paul Skeen's pitching, one of

1105
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:13,919
Speaker 6: the best pitchers in the game, chances were he wasn't

1106
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 6: gonna be bad two games in a row, and he

1107
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 6: didn't make it out of the first inning in his

1108
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 6: last start, although his defense certainly didn't help him. So

1109
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 6: you knew there was a very razor thin sliver margin

1110
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 6: of air today. And lo and behold, in the first inning,

1111
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 6: Andrew Rabbit got the first two out, and then the

1112
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 6: next five Pirates reached base, and he's this close to

1113
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 6: getting out of the inning of it. You had the

1114
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 6: first two out and then a runner on, a runner on,

1115
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 6: and O'Neil Cruz comes to the plate and for the

1116
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 6: third time in about I don't know seventeen hours he

1117
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 6: hit a home run.

1118
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 2: It sounded like this.

1119
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 8: Reynolds off the bag at second, a quick look from

1120
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 8: Abbott to pitch and Cruz swings and drives it high

1121
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 8: in the air, deep right field, and that is way

1122
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 8: out of here, one of the little bud one party patio,

1123
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 8: just above the Pirate bullpen. It's a three run home

1124
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 8: run for O'Neill Cruise.

1125
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 9: Well that there's the worst case scenario for Andrew Abbott

1126
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 9: here early in this ballgame. You work around the couple

1127
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 9: of ritings with a single, a little routine single through

1128
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 9: the right side and a walk. But O'Neill Cruise is

1129
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 9: a guy that you're thinking in your mind you're going

1130
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 9: to get out, and then you miss with the breaking

1131
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 9: ball in the middle of the plate.

1132
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 2: So they trailed three.

1133
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 6: Nothing like that facing Paul Skeens, and all be honest,

1134
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 6: they kind of felt like, there is absolutely no chance

1135
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 6: this offense is going to score three runs against Paul Skeens.

1136
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 2: We went, we go to the fourth. Nathaniel Lowe got.

1137
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 6: His first start and delivered this his first hit as

1138
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 6: a red and take a listen, Skins after a look

1139
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 6: to second throws it low barrels this toward the gap

1140
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 6: in right center field. That's going to get down and

1141
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 6: that's all the way to the wall. Here comes Ellie

1142
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 6: charging around third to score the Reds first run of

1143
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 6: the game on Nathaniel Lowe's first hit as a Red

1144
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 6: an RBI double and the Reds have their first run

1145
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 6: against Paul Skins since June of twenty twenty four, a

1146
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 6: string of thirty one consecutive innings pitched against the Reds

1147
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 6: by Paul Skeins without giving up a run.

1148
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 2: It finally ends.

1149
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 6: Then, of all things, it's three to one going to

1150
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 6: the sixth. Connor Phillips takes over for injury rabbit after

1151
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 6: two reached base and Connor Phillips walks the first hitter

1152
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 6: and then walks the next hitter to walk in a run.

1153
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 6: Connor Phillips threw eight balls in his first nine pitches

1154
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 6: on Monday night, he threw seven balls in his first

1155
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 6: eight pitches. Got out of that jam, couldn't get out

1156
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 6: of this one walks in a run that made it

1157
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 6: four to one, and lo and behold, we go to

1158
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 6: the bottom of the sixth Auheo Suarez, who didn't start,

1159
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 6: pinch hit and he did this not out of it.

1160
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 8: Down three the pitch, Suarez swings and lunches one high

1161
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 8: in the air, deep left back. It goes and gone

1162
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 8: up by the Kroger ks. It's now a one run game.

1163
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 8: Suarez with his second home run of the year. Well,

1164
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 8: he didn't creep back into the game. He burst back

1165
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 8: into the game with one swing of the bat.

1166
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 2: That made it.

1167
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 6: You know, you're thinking, all right, four to three, gonna

1168
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 6: get a crack in the seventh, eighth, and ninth, and

1169
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 6: yet nothing happened. Then in the ninth Emilio Pegan comes

1170
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 6: on off day tomorrow. They used him non save situation,

1171
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 6: gives up four runs eight three the final, But in

1172
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 6: the end, the Connor Phillips walk with the bases loaded

1173
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 6: turns out to be the deciding run of all things,

1174
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 6: and the Reds dropped to three and three. In the season,

1175
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 6: the offense has scored seventeen runs in six games. Now

1176
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 6: Swerez had to pinch hit homer number one ninety one

1177
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 6: as a Red, tying Brandon Phillips for twelfth doll time.

1178
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 2: TJ.

1179
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 6: Friedel had two walks, Ellie had a hit and a run,

1180
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 6: Stewart a walk on a run Dane Myers had a

1181
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 6: pinch hit single. Key Brian Hayes oo for three now

1182
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 6: one for fourteen in the season. Matt McClain back to

1183
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 6: back three strikeout games. Spencer Steer three strikeouts, is one

1184
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 6: for seventeen on the season. Yikes.

1185
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 2: Red's off tomorrow on to Arlington to take on the

1186
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 2: Rangers starting on Friday in Dayton, we go, Jeff, what

1187
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 2: do you know?

1188
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 5: How you doing?

1189
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 2: I'm hanging in there. What's on your mind?

1190
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 12: Always a great chow?

1191
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1192
01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 12: First, I'm going to cut all three fielding pitching.

1193
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 5: I'll go quickly building.

1194
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 12: I like Dane Myers and center Bill.

1195
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 24: He's not only faster than McLain, he covers I think

1196
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 24: he covers more grown. He gets some good, good read

1197
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 24: on balls, and he's got a really good arm out.

1198
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 12: There, a lot better than three. Yes, and lord, I

1199
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 12: hope he can hit a higher than one.

1200
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 25: Hundred, like.

1201
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

1202
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 12: Yes, And then let's go to and Stuart. They're all

1203
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 12: coming back to the fact I'm worried about McLain again

1204
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 12: because he can't hit a high heater with two strikes

1205
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 12: on him. He didn't get a hit in the whole series.

1206
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 12: You got three hitters in.

1207
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 24: That lineup below one hundred. Refines can do that. I mean,

1208
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 24: he's hot right now, bring him up. Let him go

1209
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 24: as far as they're pitching. Uh, But Gond's got to

1210
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 24: get out of the as a closer now and then

1211
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 24: I'm not going to trust him anymore until he proves

1212
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 24: me in in another capacity where he can handle them

1213
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 24: because type of thing.

1214
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't, I don't know.

1215
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 6: I don't know what to make of him because I

1216
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 6: feared he would never be as good as he was

1217
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 6: last year. He worked a lot, he made a lot

1218
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 6: of appearances last year.

1219
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 2: So I don't. I just I don't know.

1220
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 6: That was my hesitation in signing him to that contract,

1221
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 6: because I thought we'd seen the best of him last

1222
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 6: season and I just was uncertain what he would look

1223
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 6: like this season.

1224
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 4: I agree with that.

1225
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 24: I think we saw Pegone's best season in his career,

1226
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 24: and the drop off is dramatic because he's not a flamethrower.

1227
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 24: You need somebody in that ninth inning, regardless of anything else.

1228
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 24: He can just Okay, I'm down and I have nothing left.

1229
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 24: But in the ninety nine a mile our fastball almost

1230
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 24: flow it so and it begone. He's not that type

1231
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 24: of pitcher, So no, I think they'll figure it out.

1232
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 12: And I guess that's about it.

1233
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 5: Lance.

1234
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 12: I always enjoy your show.

1235
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,479
Speaker 6: You have a good night, well, Jeff. I always enjoying

1236
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 6: our conversation. I look forward to our next one. All right,

1237
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,560

01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 2: No, she is not.

1264
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,520

1265
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 6: a kid's book. I'm gonna look that up during the break.

1271
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 2: All right?

1272
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 6: On a much more somber note, this date nineteen ninety six,

1273
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 6: two batters into opening day between the Reds in the

1274
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 6: expos veteran homeplate umpire John McSherry stepped away from the plate,

1275
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 6: raised his right hand and waved towards second base for help.

1276
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 6: He turned and walked back towards the gate that led

1277
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 6: to the tunnel to the umpire's room, and the fifty

1278
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 6: one year old collapsed. John McSherry never regained consciousness and

1279
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 6: was pronounced dead of a massive heart attack at University

1280
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 6: Hospital about an hour after what should have been the

1281
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 6: start of the game. This is what that day sounded

1282
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 6: like as it unfolded. Here on seven hundred WLW Big.

1283
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 26: John McSherry, veteran umpire. He's behind the plate calling balls

1284
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 26: and strikes.

1285
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 7: I think something.

1286
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. Something happened to John.

1287
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 4: He looked like he was waving at the second base

1288
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 4: umpire and it.

1289
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 26: Looked John McSherry has just collapsed. John mcsherry's signal for

1290
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 26: second base umpire Steve Ripley. It looked like he started

1291
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 26: back board the door behind home plate and as he

1292
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 26: stepped onto the warning track, within a matter of two

1293
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 26: or three feet behind away from the door, he collapsed.

1294
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 26: We're back at Riverfront Stadium and Paul has fallen over

1295
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 26: the ballpark and this does not look real good. I

1296
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 26: know that everybody is basically experiencing what we are in

1297
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 26: that shock. I mean, you never expect something like this

1298
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 26: to happen, and you don't expect when it does. You

1299
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 26: pray that you don't get the feeling, quite frankly, that

1300
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 26: we have right now, and that this appears to be

1301
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 26: extremely serious.

1302
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,880

1308
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 28: stopped well before he arrived here. He had collapsed at

1309
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,360

1310

Speaker 28: dead at three oh one. Doctor Bryan Gibler says the

1311
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 28: cause was sudden cardiac death.

1312
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 23: That can be an rhythmia with or without a heart attack,

1313
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 23: and so he made it. The Only thing we know

1314
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 23: is that he stopped having a normal heart rhythm, and

1315
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 23: when that happened, he lost the ability for his heart

1316
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 23: to pump blood. Out to the rest of his body.

1320

Speaker 29: walked to the backstop and collapsed on the warning track.

1321
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 29: The game was delayed an hour and fifteen minutes, then

1328
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 2: with Steve Lyons that day, the former baseball player, And

1329
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 2: I will never forget looking at my computer screen and

1330
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 2: seeing the AP wire alert saying delay opening day Cincinnati

1331
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:25,640
Speaker 2: medical emergency, and thinking, what they've delayed opening day in

1332
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 2: Cincinnati because of a medical emergency? What does that mean

1333
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 2: this date nineteen ninety six.

1334
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:37,759

1338
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:54,640

1339
01:10:55,200 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 6: and there's so many offshoots to that day. In the

1340
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 6: emotion of that day, I went back and I watched

1341
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 6: some video of the players realizing what had happened and

1342

01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,600
Speaker 32: It was a pretty dramatic scene inside the court to

1391
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 32: see the President there just steps from the justices, sat

1392
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 32: expressionless attent of the whole time, though he did get

1393
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 32: up and leave halfway through. The court did not acknowledge

1394
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 32: his presence, and it wasn't clear to me that he

1395
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 32: made eye contact with any of the justice including the

1396
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 32: three that he appointed.

1397
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 4: ABC News as Devin Dwyer.

1398
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 16: Conservative justices, including those appointed by Trump, appeared skeptical of

1399
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 16: the arguments made against birthright citizenship on behalf of the

1400
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 16: Trump administration. Birthright citizenship is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

1401
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 16: And Butler County, two people found dead inside at home

1424
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 6: then the President speaks here and Dan Carroll wraps it

1425
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 6: up and discusses after till midnight tonight. I'm on Twitter

1426
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 6: for those who would like to follow X. I'd be

1427
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 6: honored if you follow. Thank you if you don't jump

1428
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 6: in here with us and be a part of the

1429
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 6: show Atlancemcallister on X to follow along. It was thirty

1430
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 6: years ago today that umpire John McSherry tragically passed away

1431
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 6: on opening day for Reds Baseball. I went back this morning.

1432
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 6: I was reading through the Inquirer story at the time,

1433
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 6: and the players had asked that the game be postponed.

1434
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:06,640
Speaker 6: Ray Knight, Red's manager at that time, told the Inquirer

1435
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 6: that Barry Larkin told him very quietly and with a

1436
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 6: lot of emotion behind it. He said, Ray, I've had

1437
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 6: a lot of deaths in my family. In good conscience,

1438
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 6: out of respect for life, I can't go out there.

1439
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 6: And if I remember correctly, the third base umpire Tom

1440
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 6: Hollyan followed the medical team in McSherry to the hospital,

1441
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 6: so that just left two umpires at the stadium, and

1442
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 6: then at two forty five, about ninety minutes after mcsurey

1443
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 6: had collapsed, the Riverfront PA announcer informed the crowd fifty

1444
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 6: three thousand plus the game would resume in thirty minutes,

1445
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 6: and it was not until after three o'clock that the

1446
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 6: crowd was then told the game was in fact being

1447
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 6: postponed until the next day. Then Merge drew heavy criticism

1448
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 6: when she said, I feel cheated. This wasn't supposed to

1449
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 6: happen to us, not in Cincinnati. This is our day,

1450
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 6: this is our history, our tradition, our team. Nobody feels

1451
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 6: worse than me.

1452
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 2: End quote.

1453
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 6: The game resumed the next day with Jerry Crawford behind

1454
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 6: the plate, and the Reds beat the Expos four to one.

1455
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 6: Thirty years ago today, tragedy at Riverfront Stadium. Let's go

1456
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 6: down on the farm or nightly check on the Reds

1457
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 6: Minor League system, presented by my guys at Kelsey Chevrolet.

1458
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 6: Stop by, see what's going on and tell him, I said, hey.

1459
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 6: And with Louisville underway, they're the only Reds affiliate underweight

1460
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 6: this moment. The Dayton Dragons open tomorrow night and then

1461
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 6: I believe Chattanooga and Daytona both on Friday night. I

1462
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 6: got to double check that. But the Bats played today.

1463
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 6: They lost twelve to seven. But the story continues to

1464
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 6: be Rhese Hines. Last night he ended the game with

1465
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 6: a walk off home run. He'd hit a triple. Earlier

1466
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 6: in the game, he hit a walk off home run,

1467
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 6: and then in the first inning this afternoon he hit

1468
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 6: a grand slam, and then later in the game he

1469
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 6: hit another home run. Here's how those two blasts sounded.

1470
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 6: It's a Nick Current and Jim Kilch on bats Radio.

1471
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:11,440
Speaker 6: Take a listen.

1472
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 3: This year.

1473
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 33: First one a Hines. He swings and hits one of

1474
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 33: the air and the left racing back Cantrell at the wall.

1475
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 33: God grand slam, rees Hines. He is absolutely on another

1476
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 33: planet right now. His second home run of the year.

1477
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:33,560
Speaker 33: He's gone deep in back to back at bats. This

1478
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 33: one a grand slam. Fo nothing beats here in the first.

1479
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 2: Here's the pitch and the ball driven the right field

1480
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 2: by Hines. Back goes the right fielder. That ball over

1481
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 2: his head, that ball off the wall. That's a home run.

1482
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,759
Speaker 13: I just got all of the wall in right field.

1483
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 4: Look I get some fencing out there and dropped.

1484
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 34: Down home run the other way for Reese Hines, his

1485
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,839
Speaker 34: second home run of the day, his third of the season.

1486
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 34: He now has five runs batad in in this game,

1487
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 34: Alee letting twelve runs batad in on the year, and

1488
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 34: the bats are back within run. It's now seven to

1489
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 34: six on an opposite field solo blast by Ray Hines.

1490
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 7: I mean, he gotta be kidding me.

1491
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:19,679
Speaker 23: He is rolling.

1492
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:21,919
Speaker 2: He can't be stopped.

1493
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 6: So rees Hines two home runs today, five runs driven in,

1494
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 6: three runs scored.

1495
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:31,679
Speaker 2: He's hitting five twenty six.

1496
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 6: Edwin Arroyo had three hits today, stole a base, did

1497
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 6: committed air blake, done a couple of walks, hit run RBI.

1498
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 6: Chase Petty pitched really well in his first start and

1499
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 6: was really bad today. Didn't get out of the second

1500
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 6: inning and inning in two thirds, five hits, seven runs.

1501
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 6: Kyle Nicholas, who they picked up for Tyler Callahan, and

1502
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 6: remember he wasn't with the Reds during the spring because

1503
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 6: he was pitching for Italy in the World Baseball Class.

1504
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 6: He pitched an inning today, struck out the side. Andrew Chafin,

1505
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 6: the veteran who they signed at the end of last week.

1506
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 6: Who's appeared in over six hundred major league games. Pitched

1507
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 6: today two thirds of an inning, four walks, four runs. Now,

1508
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 6: all four were unearned, but he walked four guys in

1509
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 6: less than an inning. Bats lose twelve to seven the

1510
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 6: final score. The question becomes, and yes, there might be

1511
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 6: a bit of a tinge of panic in asking this question,

1512
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 6: but Reese Hines is on an incredible heater right now,

1513
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:45,799
Speaker 6: and there's nobody in the Reds outfield who's on anything

1514
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:50,680
Speaker 6: close to being a heater right now. He's not up

1515
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:54,600
Speaker 6: here because there's not an everyday spot for him. The

1516
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 6: question becomes, should the Reds be creating an everyday spot

1517
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 6: for him to try to take advantage of the hot streak.

1518
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 6: Let's remember Reese Hines had one of the best, if

1519
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,960
Speaker 6: not other than Matt McLain, the best spring of anybody

1520
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 6: in goodyear. In spring training he hit four to ten

1521
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 6: with an ops of fourteen hundred. He had five home

1522
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:25,719
Speaker 6: runs in the spring. Again, didn't make the team because

1523
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:28,679
Speaker 6: they don't have an everyday spot for him in their mind.

1524
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:34,680
Speaker 6: What I find interesting in fascinating about Reese Hines is

1525
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:38,679
Speaker 6: the way he is viewed by the organization because clearly

1526
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 6: they haven't been prepared to give him more of an opportunity.

1527
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 6: But what I find fascinating about that is the judgment

1528
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 6: of the two opportunities they've given him. In twenty twenty four,

1529
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 6: Reese Hines went to the plate fifty one times for

1530
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 6: the Rats, and that's when he went nuts. He hit

1531
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 6: five home runs and the he was turned upside down

1532
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 6: and he was Player of the Week. But the more

1533
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:07,680
Speaker 6: he hit in that stretch, the more he started the strikeout.

1534
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 6: And it's like the Reds got a little bit gunshine

1535
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 6: and didn't believe thought the chess pieces had moved and

1536
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 6: the league had figured him out. Last year, he got

1537
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 6: forty four trips to the plate with the Reds, forty

1538
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 6: three at bats, and he struck out twenty one times,

1539
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 6: twenty one strikeouts in forty three at bats, and the

1540
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 6: sense was all right, the Reds, they had confirmation when

1541
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 6: they saw him. The more he hit in twenty twenty four,

1542
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 6: the more the league figured him out. When they gave

1543
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 6: him a air quote chance in twenty twenty five, the

1544
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 6: league really proved they had figured him out. And it's

1545
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 6: almost like they don't believe that Reese Hines can be

1546
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 6: a threat. Well, he changed his swing in the offseason,

1547
01:22:56,960 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 6: he tore it up in spring training, and one week,

1548
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,719
Speaker 6: not even a full week into the minor league season,

1549
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 6: he is going scorched earth on the international league. I

1550
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:15,920
Speaker 6: wonder if there is a discussion within the organization along

1551
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 6: these lines. Should we be considering where we are offensively

1552
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 6: and where he is offensively combined with how he played

1553
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 6: in the spring before our very eyes, should we reconsider

1554
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 6: and give him an everyday job, at least for the

1555
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 6: time being, to see if he can capitalize on this

1556
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 6: hot streak. And I don't know if that means now

1557
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 6: of a Marte goes down, I don't know if that

1558
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 6: means Will Benson goes down. I'll tell you what of scenarios.

1559
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 6: And I have no reason to believe he's hurt other

1560
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 6: than I wonder what the heck's going on with him.

1561
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 6: I wonder if they'd put TJ. Friedel on the injured

1562
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 6: list because to me, TJ. Friedel's become a shell of

1563
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 6: himself and has been since the final two months of

1564
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 6: last season.

1565
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 2: I just know this. The last thing you want.

1566
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:14,440
Speaker 6: To do if you're gonna make a move with resigns

1567
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 6: is to wait till he cools off and then.

1568
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 2: Call him up.

1569
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:22,719
Speaker 6: But if you're making a move six games into your season,

1570
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 6: what does it say about your month of evaluations in goodyear?

1571
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 6: If six games into your regular season you're making this

1572
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 6: type of move, maybe it.

1573
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 2: Says you misjudged the situation.

1574
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1575
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 6: Spend some more time on that. Tomorrow night, we got

1576

Speaker 6: Okay, how about you good?

1608
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 25: I called you a couple of days ago after they

1609
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 25: won their third in row and saying how Frank Bonner

1610
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 25: had said they don't win those games last year.

1611
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's lying high.

1612
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 6: I think it seems so long ago now.

1613
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 25: Later, But you know, you look around and it's the same,

1614
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 25: it's the same song. You know, you got McLean looking

1615
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 25: like McLean did last year. You got Ellie, you know,

1616
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 25: do not hit for average once in a while runs

1617
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 25: in the one. You know, South Stewart's carrying the team

1618
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,840
Speaker 25: pretty much. You know, if Stevenson hasn't done nothing, they

1619
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:43,720
Speaker 25: ain't got nothing out of the teachers. They haven't got

1620
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 25: nothing out of the outfield. Martine is supposed to be

1621
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:49,600
Speaker 25: the you know cowboys, come right out and said he

1622
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 25: thinks he's the best hitter on the teeth. He has

1623
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 25: not even showed up. He don't even play much. You know,

1624
01:26:57,160 --> 01:26:59,639
Speaker 25: it's just just two days ago. We talked two days ago,

1625
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 25: right high.

1626
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's Saturday.

1627
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 6: Matt McClain got on base five times and then he

1628
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 6: didn't get a hit in this entire series against the Pirates.

1629
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what.

1630
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 25: And I'm sorry. I know Pittsburgh got good pitching, but

1631
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 25: still there's still the Pirates in mine. And I just

1632
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 25: don't understand Boston they're gonna compete for They're picking him

1633
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 25: to win ninety six ninety eight games this year. How's

1634
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 25: that happened?

1635
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 2: Man?

1636
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:29,520
Speaker 6: Incredibly frustrating, incredibly frustrated.

Speaker 6: We'll take our chances that were there at that point. Thanks, Ben,

1643
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 6: You all right, take care. Yeah, it's it's kind of

1644
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 6: like the weather. If you don't like it, stick around,

1645
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 6: give him another game or two and it might be different.

1646
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 6: I conclude with this. Today is April. The first I

1647
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 6: did not do a an April Fools prank. My last

1648
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 6: April Fools prank happened on this date in nineteen ninety eight.

1649
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 6: It was so good I never attempted another one. I

1650
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 6: was hosting mid Days ten to one on then eleven

1651
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:10,639
Speaker 6: sixty Bob, and at that time it was the Big

1652
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 6: Dog Tim Lewis and Lapping Fish. And the climate in Cincinnati,

1653
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,640
Speaker 6: northern Kentucky at that time was perfect for me to

1654
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 6: execute this prank because every day we talked you see

1655
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 6: in UK basketball non stop. It was like topic a

1656
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 6: every day, and we talked about how the two teams

1657
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 6: should play each other, and the conversation was always came

1658
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 6: back to you see in Kentucky you should play each other.

1659
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 6: In two days earlier, Kentucky had beaten Utah to win

1660
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 6: the national championship, and UCE fans were still stinging from

1661
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 6: a second round loss to West Virginia. Girod West and

1662
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 6: hit a buzzer beater heave at the buzzer, and so

1663
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:50,640
Speaker 6: I decided to shake things up on this date in

1664
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety eight, and I announced on the air that

1665
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:57,280
Speaker 6: multiple sources were telling me that you see in Kentucky

1666
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 6: had reached an agreement on a six year home home

1667
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:03,679
Speaker 6: series and the series would started Repperina.

1668
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety nine.

1669
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 6: Moved to the Shoemaker in two thousand and altern eight

1670
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 6: year to year, and I used Jeff Pecorro to help

1671
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 6: execute the prank. He was working at BOB at the

1672
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:15,640
Speaker 6: time and ties to Kentucky. Obviously they were perfect. And

1673
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 6: he called in pretending to be in Lexington, and he

1674
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,040
Speaker 6: set the scene on campus and was providing details and

1675
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 6: then interrupted what he was saying to say, I just

1676
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:29,080
Speaker 6: saw CM Newton, I see CEM walking across campus. Mike Lindeman,

1677
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:32,120
Speaker 6: who was working at BOB called it. It was a news,

1678
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,679
Speaker 6: sports and news. He called in with a live report

1679
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:36,880
Speaker 6: from the UC campus and while he was on the air,

1680
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 6: indicated that U see's athletic director Bob Going just walked

1681
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:43,679
Speaker 6: by and gave him a thumbs up and with a smile.

1682
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 6: And my producer at the time, Brad Martin, would occasionally

1683
01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:51,800
Speaker 6: interrupt and handed me developing information as I'm on the air,

1684
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:55,439
Speaker 6: and as the show unfolded and the news unfolded, and

1685
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 6: certainly in a day and age without social media, fans

1686
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 6: went into full meltdown mode and they were calling the

1687
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:04,719
Speaker 6: UC Athletic Department. They were calling the UK Athletic Department.

1688
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 6: They were seeking confirmation on the news, asking how they

1689
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:11,639
Speaker 6: could purchase tickets. I remember a loyal caller to the show,

1690
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:14,960
Speaker 6: and even a listener today, Mike from Kentucky, legendary Mike

1691
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:18,320
Speaker 6: from Kentucky calling in and stirring things up. I'm pretty

1692
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 6: sure that you See Chris called in that day and

1693
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 6: it was on. Fans were calling in arguing who would

1694
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:28,880
Speaker 6: win the studio. The fax machine, yes there was a

1695
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:31,840
Speaker 6: fax machine those were used back then, was cranking out

1696
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:35,840
Speaker 6: listener faxes about the news, and the local TV stations

1697
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:40,080
Speaker 6: here in town were calling us wanting information on the announcement.

1698
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 6: I think we let it play out for about ninety minutes,

1699
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,720
Speaker 6: and I started getting calls from UC's athletic department and

1700
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:55,680
Speaker 6: from Kentucky's athletic department, and they were not pleased. I

1701
01:30:55,720 --> 01:31:00,280
Speaker 6: remember taking calls off air from a couple of school officials,

1702
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 6: and a couple of them Will actually asked me, this

1703
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 6: isn't true, is it?

1704
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 2: What?

1705
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:06,400
Speaker 10: What?

1706
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:08,040
Speaker 2: Who did you hear this from?

1707
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:12,559
Speaker 6: I finally broke out laughing on the air and revealed

1708
01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:17,640
Speaker 6: the prank, and I again, it was so good. I

1709
01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 6: retired April Fool's Day pranks. I said, I'm never gonna

1710
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:25,760
Speaker 6: come close again. John Faye wrote about it a couple

1711
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 6: of weeks later, because I hadn't been back in town

1712
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 6: that long, and he wrote about the prank as man,

1713
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 6: I miss John Fay, but I just I it was

1714
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 6: the execution and the involvement of Jeff Piccoro and Mike

1715
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 6: Lindhaman and Brad Martin and everybody else. It just play

1716
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 6: and it was so ripe in that moment, and it'll

1717
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:52,240
Speaker 6: never happen again. All Right, I gotta get out of here.

1718
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 6: The President is next, and then Dan Carroll. This has
