1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: This is Tony Pike, Cincy three sixty about Cincinnati.

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 2: From Cincinnati.

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 3: This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sport Station.

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, let's cut right to it.

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: It's hour number two on a Tuesday, which means we

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: go to our guy from Fox nineteen. Joe Daniman is

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: standing by to join us and kick off our number two.

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Joey D. What's going on?

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 3: Hi, Tony, Hi, Audi Tony. How was the Saint Patrick's

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: Day Parade on Fox nineteen? Now?

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: It was electric. I did not realize the parade was

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: as big as it is. The coverage was great, I

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: did say earlier in the show. Once I got through

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: my portion of the parade, I walked back and watched

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the parade with my family. I attempted

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: to split a G on a Guinness and I'll say this,

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: in my mind, I thought I was gonna like stop drinking.

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: It was gonna be like halfway done, and I was

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: gonna be well passed the G. I mean, I was

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: inches away from even getting to the G. It was

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: a terrible effort. Outside of that effort, awesome day, awesome crowd,

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: awesome parade, and great coverage by the way.

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: That's an early afternoon Guinness.

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, although some of the people on the

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: parade route had started much earlier than I did. I

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: will say that I've got to ask before we dive

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: into this today. I said this at the start of

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: the show filling out NCAA tournament brackets. I remember the

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: days where they wheeled the TV into school on the Thursday.

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: Like I'm that old, I feel like. But I also

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: am old enough that I would get like the paper

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: when it came out and fill it out in the paper.

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: I'm still to this day a fill out a bracket

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: on paper and pen type of guy.

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: Are you that.

36
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: Way or are you just now online and you got

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: a couple of clicks and your brackets done?

38
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: Paper?

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: Pen I mean it has to be penn It cannot

40
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: be penciled. Nothing can beat erased. I'm very much like

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: Dan Patrick, a one bracket of integrity kind of guy.

42
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: And when I was a kid, Tony, this was before

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: the internet, Okay, I would have four pieces of loose

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: leaf paper. I would have a ruler and I would

45
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: measure out each part of the bracket so it filled

46
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: out the entire page. And then I would get a

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 3: piece of scrap paper, and as Greg Gumble went through

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: each team, I would write them down quickly what region

49
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: they're going to, and then I would fill out my

50
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: bracket and it was so beautiful.

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: I used to keep it in like.

52
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: A folder and I would fill it in as the

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: teams won to kind of keep track of who won

54
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: and lost, and then look at how I was doing

55
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: in my predictions. But I always say this, okay, and

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: I give one piece of bracket advice for a guy

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: who has wanted I think three times last year I

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: had the perfect first.

59
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: Round man two to zero and one zero dollars? How

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: is that possible?

61
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: And how I lost Cooper flag and Continipple choked against Houston.

62
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: Ye couldn't get otherwise I would have gotten it.

63
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: So my advice is this, look at winning your tournament bracket,

64
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: whatever office pull you're in. You have to find value

65
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: in the champion, because you're not going to win unless

66
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: you pick the champion. Correction the way seeds and points

67
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: are weighted in whatever bracket pull you're in. Unless you

68
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: think there's a dominant team that there's no way they're

69
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: going to lose, Like when you think about the Jalen

70
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: Brunson and Michale Bridges and Dante Devincenzo Villanova. Team no

71
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: one was going to beat them. You put them in

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: the championship and you work back. Otherwise, you try to

73
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: find value in the champion. Like the year Virginia one.

74
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: No one wanted to pick Virginia. There's a one seed

75
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: no one wanted to pick, and I said, Okay, there's

76
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: my value.

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: It's like gambling.

78
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: Where should I find the value? And so I put

79
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: Virginia's champion, work back and won the office pool.

80
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: Manow Well, I have to add to that because it

81
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: is March Madness, and it's different this time of the

82
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: year because we're used to, or I've felt like I've

83
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: been used to growing up so many local teams being

84
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: a part of the tournament. We haven't had that as

85
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: of late. We don't have it this year. Uc has

86
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: moved on from Wes Miller. I think Wes Miller lost

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: his job in the final two minutes against UCF. I

88
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: think if that game goes differently, he's probably still the

89
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: coach of the Bearcats. They have moved on. What did

90
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: you make of the decision to move on from Wes Miller?

91
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: And I know it's early in the process, but does

92
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: it feel like a clear cut number one that they

93
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: need to go to right now?

94
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't make this process harder than it needs to be.

95
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 3: If you have a candidate that stands out the way

96
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: that Jared Calhoun does, I think you jump on it

97
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: and look due process, right, you talk to other people,

98
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: you look at other people. But if everyone I talked

99
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: to who's involved in program or played for UC previously,

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: he says they want someone who gets UC basketball. And

101
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: I think sometimes a lot of those folks lean too

102
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: much into the Huggins era a little bit. And I

103
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: get it because those were the glory years for people

104
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: in our generation. But I do think there is some

105
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: merit to having someone who understands Cincinnati basketball and having

106
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: at least a little bit of a taste of what

107
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: it means to the program and to the city of Cincinnati.

108
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: And Jered Calhoun checks that box. He also checks the

109
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: box up. He's gone to Utah State, which is a

110
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: higher mid major in the Mountain West, and has now

111
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: gone to back to back n CAA tournaments two years.

112
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 3: So if you're talking about checking boxes, that's a guy

113
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: who's checking a lot of boxes. But to your original

114
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: question about Wes Miller, in the idea of him now

115
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: moving on from Cincinnati and Cincinnati moving on from him,

116
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: this felt like year five it had to be NCAA

117
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 3: tournament or bust. And if that was the feeling in

118
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: the fan base and for people who watched the team,

119
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: I'm glad it was the same feeling for the people

120
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 3: who make decisions about this. I think it's important to

121
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 3: say this West Miller's a good coach. He's not a

122
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: bad coach. I do think the guy can be successful.

123
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: But for whatever reason, it didn't click here in Cincinnati.

124
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: Five years is a long enough window. He didn't get

125
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: it done, he didn't go to the tournament. It was

126
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: time to move on.

127
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 4: How big of a learning curve do you think there

128
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 4: is for a coach like let's say Calhoun coming from

129
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 4: Utah State jumping immediately to the Big Twelve, which many

130
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: believe is the best basketball conference in the country. Like

131
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 4: what should the runway be? Like what should the grace

132
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 4: period be? Because that's not easy. I mean for any coach, it's.

133
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: Not I do think there's a little bit of a

134
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: grace period for him this year with the transfer portal

135
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 3: date being a little bit later than it was for

136
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: saying Richard Patino making the jump from New Mexico to Xavier.

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: And I know that's not exactly apples to apples, considering

138
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: how much you See has in its nil fund to

139
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: pay for its roster compared to what Xavier does. But

140
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: you saw the late start that Richard Patino had trying

141
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: to build the team he had e Xavier, and then

142
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: you saw the result this year of a losing record

143
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: in his first year in a power conference. But with

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: you See, and whoever they decide to bring in the coach,

145
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: and let's just say for conversation's sake, it's Jared Calhoun.

146
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: The portal doesn't open until April seventh. You tossed eight.

147
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, is going to be eliminated by the

148
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: end of this weekend unless they shock the world and

149
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: beat Arizona in the second round after beating Villanova in

150
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: the first round. And then you've answered your question about

151
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: a guy who can beat teams of the Big twelve.

152
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: So you have to look at it for two reasons.

153
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: For two ways he gets the extra time it would

154
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: take to find guys in the portal. But also you're

155
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: not just jumping into the Big twelve where the talent

156
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: is a different level than he's coached against. But you're

157
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: also coaching against some of the best coaches in the country,

158
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: and this is going to be a trial by fire

159
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: for a guy in his first year. If they do

160
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: go with Jared Calhoun going up against the Kelvin Sampsons

161
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: and the bill selves and pick whatever big name coach

162
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: you want to pick in the Big twelve, to me,

163
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: that's what's most interesting. I think we'll get his roster.

164
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: We've seen the support the program has for the fan

165
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: base from the donors, because even last year when you

166
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: see was struggling, they still had ten thousand plus in

167
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: the building. That's there, That infrastructure is there. To me,

168
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: it's can he coach with and against some of the

169
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: best coaches in the country.

170
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: In the background of all this going on, we're now

171
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: nine days away from opening day, and we just had

172
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: this conversation earlier in the show, Joe. Because you're kind

173
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: of taught and it's talked about in spring training, don't

174
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: overreact to everything going on in spring training. Guys are

175
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: working on stuff you don't really have a clear understanding yet.

176
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Hunter Green's not going to be available till July. There's

177
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: been some uncertainty around Chase Burns in the last week

178
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: or so with innings and what they're doing with him,

179
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: and then your opening day starter. I get it. Spring

180
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: Training has thrown thirteen innings in spring training, twenty four

181
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: hits in twenty runs. Is there a point now under

182
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: ten days away where you do find yourself a little

183
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: bit concerned about this rotation, which is clear and above

184
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: supposed to be the strength of this roster.

185
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 3: So we talked at the start of this conversation about

186
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: bracket strategy, right, and Austin has invited me into the

187
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: Sincy three to sixty bracket challenge and I will not

188
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 3: fill that out until eleven fifty on Thursday morning because

189
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: I want all the information they can get about these teams.

190
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: And that's not me diving in and reading things. It's

191
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 3: like the situation in Alabama. What if something happens to

192
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 3: one of these star players for these teams. That's why

193
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: I don't want to make any predictions until I have to.

194
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: That's why I want to walk back. Since you're read

195
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have done that until opening that I put

196
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: it out there. I got pedigree in my back around Austin.

197
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: I'm going for it.

198
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: You said concern, I'm curious. I don't know if I'm

199
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: concerned at this point. Certainly, Hunter Green's injury is a

200
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: big ding, There's no doubt about it. Okay, you can't

201
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: make up for losing an all star caliber pitcher for

202
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: perhaps half of a season. But the Reds are equipped

203
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: to be able to survive it with what they have

204
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: in depth in their starting rotation. The Chase Burns thing, again,

205
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: I think, fits right into that curious not concerned bucket.

206
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: I know there are some projections out there that he

207
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: might not be on the opening day roster. I'll believe

208
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: that when I see that. Okay, I still think that

209
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: Chase Burns is still inside track to be on the

210
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: opening day roster. And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the Reds

211
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: do want to send him down to the my leagues

212
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: and let him ramp up a little bit to be

213
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: ready for the majority of the season. But I still

214
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: think there's a chance he's on the opening day roster.

215
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 3: The Andrew Abbott thing, the numbers don't bother me. What

216
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: peaks my radar just a little bit is the way

217
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: he talked about it yesterday after his outing when he

218
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: used words like frustrated that the process is right, but

219
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: the results aren't there, and results maybe don't matter in spring,

220
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: but some of the ancillary stuff is a little bit curious.

221
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: The walks are higher.

222
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: You look at his walk to strike out late last year,

223
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 3: it was really excellent, and it's not been excellent so

224
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: far in spring training.

225
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: And you never know what a guy's working on.

226
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: But the fact that Andrew says I'm going to try

227
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: to ride out the storm, hope it starts to click.

228
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: You.

229
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: Hope if you're a Reds fans, that when the lights

230
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 3: turn on on opening day, everything just falls into place

231
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: and he goes back to being the Andrew Abbott we expect.

232
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 2: Him to be.

233
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: And that's opening day starter, that's all star level pitcher.

234
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: But I think the word I would land on guys

235
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: is more curious. At this point, a week plus out

236
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: from opening day, and I am concerned about the starting rotation.

237
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: How much stock are you buying in Matt McClain because

238
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: it's not just been a week or two, it's been

239
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 4: twenty days, twenty days of Matt McClain wearing long pants

240
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 4: and hitting long homers. So should we be all in

241
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 4: on this.

242
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I was a stockholder on Matt McClain even.

243
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 2: When he was playing.

244
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: Poorly last year, because I thought it was going to

245
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: be a blip on his long career of multiple All

246
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: Stars on his resume.

247
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: I go back to what he is.

248
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 3: Is he the twenty twenty three player or is he

249
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five player? And I think for his

250
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: entire life, he's been closer to the twenty twenty three

251
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 3: guy who came up here and looked like one of

252
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: the best hitters in the organization and a would be

253
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 3: future star in Cincinnati. The only other data point we

254
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: have of is twenty twenty five. But he was coming

255
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: back from the shoulder surgery, the shoulder rehab, and he

256
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: looked a little bit lost with his confidence in twenty

257
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 3: twenty five. So I'm going to lean on every other

258
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: data point that we have that made Matt McClain a

259
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: first round pick, that made him a great player in

260
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: his rookie season, and not necessarily buy anything that I

261
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: saw last year. I think it's important he uses last

262
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: year as a data point for himself mentally the things

263
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 3: he needs to get better at.

264
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: You know, I talked to Matt when he's going well.

265
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: I've asked him, what are you doing particularly well when

266
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: you're going well, and he always says, I'm swinging at

267
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: strikes and I'm not chasing. And I read Charlie Goldsmith's

268
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: article talking yesterday about that exact same idea, being more

269
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: aggressive on pitches in the zone, and there's been a

270
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: lot of talk about him chasing those low and away

271
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: sliders and making the adjustment of trying take that ball

272
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: to right field. And we've seen that so far in

273
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 3: spring training. I understand spring training numbers are what they are,

274
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 3: but when you're hitting like Babe Ruth, give me all

275
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: the stock.

276
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: So back to ninety, back to that.

277
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: Nineties one hundred.

278
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: We're going one hundred Central champions and bringing home a

279
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: World Series championship on the back of Maddie Long Pans.

280
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: I gotta I've got to ask for the the Bengals.

281
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about this offseason, Joe, and it

282
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: feels like they've done a lot of really good things.

283
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: The Dalton Riiser had to happen the decision with Trey Hendrickson.

284
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: They've made three defensive additions that I think are going

285
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: to help this team in a big way. They get

286
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown Junior extended. They're doing a lot of good stuff,

287
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: and yet at the end, it feels like, now there's

288
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,239
Speaker 1: this conversation happening around the cap and how they're structuring

289
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: these deals based on how other teams across the NFL

290
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: are structuring those deals, and they're just not in the

291
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: frame to restructure Joe Burrows deal. And you see that

292
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: happening across teams across the National Football League, where they

293
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: restructure the quarterbacks deal, they free up cap space and

294
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: they use that to make the team better. Joe Burrow

295
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,479
Speaker 1: has even said he's open to this. Are you surprised

296
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: seeing the cap hits in year one at these contracts

297
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: and that they've not ventured down the path of restructuring

298
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: Burrow for a year?

299
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: Am I surprised? I am not surprised. I would be

300
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: if I were a Bengals fan, I would be disappointed

301
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: a little bit by the way free agency in the

302
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: offseason has started the fact that there was this understanding

303
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: of the urgency of what this off season meant to

304
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: this coaching staff, to the patience of the quarterback that

305
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: is wearing very thin, very quickly. They understood the assignment.

306
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: They got in front of microphones, they got in front

307
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: of whatever person they can get in front of the media,

308
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: and they said that they got it, that they were

309
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: going to go for it. They knew the urgency of

310
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: the situation. And right now we haven't seen that really

311
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: play out. You have to give them credit. Okay, Mafey

312
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: will help, Alan will help, Cook will help. I said

313
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: before the offseason this team probably needed five new starters

314
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: on defense to compete for a Super Bowl. Four new starters.

315
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: I think they're back in the playoffs right now. They

316
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: have three new starters defensively, they have an address linebacker.

317
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: Makes me think that the Bengals are probably going to

318
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: use the number ten overall pick on a guy that

319
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: they expect to come in and start day one here

320
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati. So even if they add that guy, that's

321
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: four new starters. But you're relying on running it back

322
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: with Knight and Carter, and I wonder how much that

323
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: is going to define what the twenty twenty six Bangals are.

324
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: It feels like we always pull something right from the

325
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: Bengals and say this could define the season, and then

326
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: there we are week ten, week eleven, week twelve, and

327
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: like we were right, it is defining the season. So

328
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 3: the Bengals are betting unless they go out and get

329
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: someone that surprises me here in the next couple of weeks,

330
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: or if perhaps they get lucky and a sunny Styles

331
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: drops to them at number ten, then you're starting another

332
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 3: rookie at linebacker again, when all offseason they said they

333
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: wanted to add someone in that room who has some

334
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 3: experience and has proven they can play on Sundays. So

335
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: to me, it's going to come down to in twenty

336
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: twenty six if they run this back with Knight and Carter,

337
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: young players that I don't think anybody listening to this

338
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: would say get rid of they can't play, But can

339
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 3: you rely on them to take the kind of jump

340
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 3: they have to take to help drag this team to

341
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 3: a different level in twenty twenty six. I'm skeptical. I'm

342
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: a little worried about it, and I'm very curious if

343
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: this was the plan for them after investing in those

344
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: two players last year, to bring them back in twenty

345
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: twenty six as your two starters.

346
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my question too, is because like, okay, you

347
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 4: can see Logan Wilson's in that room, Logan Wilson can

348
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 4: help them, but then Logan Wilson played terribly and he

349
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 4: gets traded. And orn Berg's kind of the same situation,

350
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 4: wasn't necessarily the best player to help them, And Doko

351
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 4: Toobin kind of referenced that, like, if you're not playing well,

352
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 4: it's difficult for your message to resonate all that stuff

353
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 4: that they said about linebacker, and then reading what Paul

354
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 4: Daaner reported that they weren't really even in on Caden

355
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 4: Ellis or even in on Leo Chanel. That doesn't make

356
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: sense to me, and I have a hard time understanding

357
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 4: what the plan actually is to make those two guys

358
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 4: better as opposed to other than just hey, you had

359
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 4: a whole offseason as an NFL player, You had a

360
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 4: whole season as a rookie, like now you know what

361
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 4: to expect.

362
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: I think you can make the argument that adding the

363
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: players they've added will make them better, sure, right, but

364
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 3: I think that's hollow.

365
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: I think that's hollow to the fan base.

366
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 3: I think the fan base wanted to see that box

367
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: checked in free agency. I certainly wanted to see it

368
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: checked in free agency, and they're so close, right, it

369
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: feels like, they're so close to having this successful, well

370
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 3: done check every box off season, and I'd never thought

371
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 3: they were going to get the big splash. I never

372
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: thought they were going to get the top one or

373
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: two players at whatever position they were going to address.

374
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: But they've improved the pass rush, they've improved the tackling.

375
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 3: They had to improve linebacker, and it's disappointing that here

376
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 3: we are now looking forward most likely to the draft

377
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: as a place to address it if they're going to

378
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: address it, unless they want to bring in an Orin

379
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: Burks type player, and I don't know how much that's

380
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 3: going to help in that position. It's disappointed the Bengals

381
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: didn't address that, and I think it might at the

382
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 3: end of the twenty twenty six season be something we

383
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: point back at and say, hm, that kind of defined

384
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 3: the season.

385
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if we see a Keem Davis

386
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 4: Gaither eventually come back. But before we let you go,

387
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 4: your buddy Trey Hendrickson now a Baltimore Raven.

388
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: Your reaction, it's interesting, it's a fresh start. Trey is

389
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 2: a enigma. Okay.

390
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 3: So I was on a Baltimore radio station last week

391
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 3: and they were asking me about Trey Hendrickson, and I said, listen,

392
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 3: you know when he gets in front of the cameras

393
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: and he talks about his faith and his family, and

394
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: those are two pillars. And I'm not saying those two

395
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 3: things aren't legitimate. Those are two legitimate things. He also

396
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: has a selfish side to him that he doesn't do

397
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: a lot of interviews, and when he did do them,

398
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 3: he would act like he didn't know how many sacks

399
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 3: he had, and then you would see these clips of

400
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 3: him when he was miked up calling up to the

401
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: press box making sure he was credited for the sacks

402
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: he got on the field, asking people the number of

403
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 3: sacks he had.

404
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of.

405
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: Disingenuous side to Trey Hendrickson, and all that's saying when

406
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: he goes to Baltimore, he's going to be productive. Right,

407
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: Teams value what he does well he gets to the quarterback,

408
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 3: He's going to help Baltimore. But I am glad the

409
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson era in Cincinnati is done. He did a

410
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: lot for the Bengals. What he did for them should

411
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 3: be celebrated on the field, and I understand he was

412
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 3: a captain in his last year, but sometimes guys leaving

413
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: is a good thing, and I think this is a

414
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: good thing for the Cincinnati Bengals.

415
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: Do you think there's going to be a contingent to

416
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: Savior fans that make the trip to Dayton to Boucheonpime.

417
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 3: I would be surprised. Now you've asked. I think you

418
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 3: asked a poll question earlier. What are you watch it?

419
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: And I roll Baseball Classic? Of the first four I'm

420
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: watching World Baseball Classic. I'm all in, but I will

421
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: sample the Texas game to see if anything like that happens.

422
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: I doubt it's anything that comes across through on television.

423
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: There will be some boots, There's no doubt there's some

424
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: people regionally who are going to go to the game

425
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 3: in Bouchhawn Miller. I just don't know if it'll make

426
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: the kind of impact that would be noteworthy or heard

427
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 3: on television.

428
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: That's fair.

429
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 4: Speaking of television, what's a true company man? He chose

430
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 4: the World Baseball Classic.

431
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: On Fox nineteen Joe Hey, we've got state championships.

Speaker 3: school season. For the state championship tournaments in Kentucky and Ohio,

00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 3: So this is my big moment, right when I'm jumping

Speaker 2: Big Day.

459
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: You ever thought about being on air that long? Maybe

460
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: mixing in a karaoke segment?

461
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: Ha ha ha.

462
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: I was thinking the other day ton about I need

463
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: to work in a new song and what happened to

464
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: my intro in music, which was my greatest karaoke moment ever.

465
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've witnessed some karaoke and I think I think

466
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: viewers and listeners alike would would welcome that I have

467
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 1: it somewhere.

468
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: I can't even.

469
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: Name the artist anymore because his name is so toxic.

470
