I have fun on it. I 26 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 4: get to listen to it when I'm in the car. 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 4: Some of your features, obviously I can't say your gambling 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 4: feature or your Picks of the week is my favorite, 29 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 4: only because I'm not allowed to participate. But some of 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 4: the callback responses that your people give are interesting. And 31 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 4: one of these days I'm going to leave a callback 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 4: and say something stupid like some of the other people do. 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that, Bob. What I want to 34 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: ask you is you kind of just alluded to it. 35 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: People are so entrenched in football season that's happening right now, 36 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 3: that you kind of get caught sometimes with how close 37 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 3: the basketball season is. And for some athletes that's the 38 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: case when you start talking about club sports or AAU 39 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 3: while they're alsco also playing for their high school team. 40 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: When you start talking about playing multiple sports, that maybe 41 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 3: cross over at once. Where is the line drawn? Because 42 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 3: there are so many people that say play as many 43 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 3: sports as you can because it's good for you, there's 44 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: also that line that we've talked about of making sure 45 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: you allow your body to rest. How do you walk 46 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: that line when you are trying to do two different 47 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: things and juggle at once. 48 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 4: That's a great question only because, as he said, you know, 49 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 4: we're preaching now to parents and athletes alike that this 50 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 4: whole concept of specialization too early in their sports careers 51 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 4: is not good. These teams should be playing multiple sports. 52 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 4: You know, basketball players should be you know, participating in baseball, 53 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 4: and baseball should be participating in you know, track and field, 54 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 4: et cetera. 55 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 6: And again, I. 56 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 4: Think the whole concept of having these athletes some specialized 57 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 4: too early, and to me, the two biggest groups that 58 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 4: really abuse this are basketball and baseball. I think too 59 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 4: many parents you know, want to just put their kids 60 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 4: in one sport. And part of it is, you know, 61 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 4: it's easy, you know, I only have to deal with 62 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 4: one sport rather than trying to get my kids around 63 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 4: the gymnastics or swim and dive or soccer. But the 64 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: problem becomes you have to have a fine line. I 65 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 4: can let my kids play you know, summer soccer and 66 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 4: then come back and let them play football in the fall, 67 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 4: and then come back and let them play you know, 68 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 4: basketball in the in the spring or whatever, baseball in 69 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 4: the spring. 70 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 5: I think, if. 71 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 4: You you need to let the kids play multiple sports. 72 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 4: But at the same time, it goes the other way. 73 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 4: I had a kid in the other day who's playing 74 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 4: you know, soccer this time of year. She's playing volleyball 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 4: at the same time, and you know then she's going 76 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 4: to go right back into basketball. Now you're talking overload. 77 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 4: You're talking about a a fourteen fifteen year old kid 78 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 4: who's trying to play three sports that all overlap for 79 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 4: about a month. And that's not good for your body either. 80 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 7: You know. 81 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 4: It's like most high school kids, if they play football, 82 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 4: I have to take off a five day six day 83 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 4: period after football before they're allowed to play basketball. Or 84 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 4: if you're playing basketball in high school, you generally have 85 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 4: to have a four or five rest day period before 86 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 4: you're allowed to play baseball or you know, go on 87 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 4: to track and field. So but there are some sports 88 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: that are naturally i'll say aligned. So if I'm got 89 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 4: a football player and they're a skilled football player, my 90 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 4: old role at Comingy Catholic would be, well, let's run 91 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 4: track and field in the spring. Or if it were 92 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 4: a kid who is an offensive defensive lineman, maybe throw 93 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 4: shot or even wrestled in the offseason. Quarterbacks, you know, 94 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 4: let's go pitch in the spring, so that there's a 95 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 4: natural evolution of, you know, the sports that actually align 96 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 4: with each other. And I think that's the whole premise 97 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 4: of letting a kid play multiple sports. But if you 98 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,559 Speaker 4: get a six, seven, eight year old and you say, okay, 99 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 4: we're gonna play basketball, then we're gonna play summer AAU. 100 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 4: Then we're gonna play elementary school, then we're going to 101 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 4: play high school, and we're basketball basketball, basketball, I don't 102 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 4: recruit a kid today, well I don't do the recruiting, 103 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 4: but I'm stuck with him. I get players today that 104 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 4: have come to us in college and they've already had 105 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 4: three four injuries before they even get here, and most 106 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 4: of them occur during AAU in the summer, more so 107 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 4: than any other time of year. So I think you 108 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: have that fine line where I want my kids to 109 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 4: play multiple sports. And my kids played soccer, they've tried swimming, 110 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 4: they all played either hockey or football, so that you know, 111 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 4: they did a variety of things, and then by the 112 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 4: time they got to be a freshman in high school. 113 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 4: You know, I would then say, okay, let's focus on 114 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 4: one or two and one played hockey and one played baseball, 115 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 4: and the other ones played football and maybe did a 116 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 4: little track or wrestling activity. So we have to sub 117 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 4: We've got to let them have some freedom to play 118 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 4: with that getting too sub specialized too early. 119 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 3: How important then if they are having that freedom to 120 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 3: play multiple sports and you're active and you're always on 121 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: the go, go go, How important do the things that 122 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: maybe young kids are overlooking, sleep, recovery, stretching, How important 123 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 3: do those things become to the athlete, and how important 124 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 3: it is for the parents or the guardians to be 125 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 3: able to look out for that and push that to 126 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 3: the kids as well. 127 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 5: Well. 128 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 4: Number One, recovery is way underperformed in this country. Recovery 129 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 4: is just not done enough by the athletes, push enough 130 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 4: or you know, in most cases, you know, unless you 131 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 4: played at the collegiate level or played at the professional level. 132 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: You know, how does the average parent know about recovery? 133 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 4: You know, And the bottom line is like you know, 134 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 4: using maybe contrast or you know, getting in the cold 135 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 4: tubs after they play, or this country's horrible when it 136 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 4: comes to stretching, I would say if you look at football, 137 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 4: you look at college basketball, eighty percent of the players 138 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: have no clue even at that level coming out of 139 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 4: high schooler A and you how to stretch. They're all tight. 140 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 4: They don't spend enough time working their mobility. Mobility starts 141 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 4: at ain't nine ten years old. Strength training starts at 142 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 4: ain't nine ten years old. And when I mean strength training, 143 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 4: I'm not talking about getting them in the wink room 144 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 4: and weight around, but simple things that like bandit programming 145 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 4: or working with somebody who might be a certified strength 146 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 4: coach who can get them into both mobility and strength 147 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 4: training and landing mechanics. People say to me all the time, 148 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 4: well one of these little girls fourteen fifteen, sixteen years 149 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 4: old have so many injuries. Well think about it. Let's 150 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 4: say I sub specialized. I want to be a soccer 151 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 4: player or a lacrosse player. I play you know, summer 152 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 4: AAU programming, your own DP Olympic development programming. Then I 153 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 4: go right into high school. Then I come out and 154 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 4: play right in the indoor, then I go right back 155 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 4: to spring outdoor. When are you taking off? I mean 156 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 4: you played football right, you know, as soon as the 157 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: season over where was your butt? Your butt was in 158 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 4: the weight room for the next three months, four months, 159 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 4: and then when we had off in the summer, where 160 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 4: where were you were in the weight room? These we 161 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 4: got high school girls that come into PLoud On campus 162 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 4: who came to pick up a forty five pound bar 163 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 4: because they've never been told to lift before. So, you know, 164 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 4: the bottom line is, until we teach these kids' mobility, 165 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 4: how to move, do some strengths training with them, the 166 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 4: injury rate is not changing. 167 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 5: You look at the. 168 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 4: Little kids with owner collateral ligament injuries in the elbow 169 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 4: from throwing. They've thrown too much. Okay, here's a newsflash. 170 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 4: You're overloading. You're too young of an age. You can't 171 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 4: load that much that fast. And so you know, the 172 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 4: parents have to protect their The whole idea of being 173 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 4: a parent is to protect your kid. The whole idea 174 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 4: of a parent isn't to make your kid the next 175 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 4: Nolan Ryan, you know. And the bottom line is these 176 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 4: parents have dollar bills in their eyes because they think 177 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 4: my kid's going to sign the next nil contract, or 178 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 4: they're going to get the next scholarship. You want them 179 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 4: to get the scholarship, or you want them to get 180 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 4: the nil money, you better make sure they stay healthy. 181 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 4: And to stay healthy means forget always worrying about what's 182 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 4: wort they're playing. You need to get them into with 183 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 4: somebody who really knows how to lift, who really knows 184 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 4: how to work on mobility, and get them in better 185 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: shape and that reduces the raising risk.

There's a lot of 256 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 8: good high school football and we've had some great games 257 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 8: and there are some great teams, and you know we're 258 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 8: not naive. I mean Moeler at Elder, I mean it's 259 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 8: for the GCL salth but that should be a great game. 260 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 8: But now it'll be. 261 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 5: A lot of fun. The people at ready. 262 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 8: We did a PEP rally at the Redding Skyline Chili Tuesday, 263 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 8: and I did one last night for Taylor and they're excited. 264 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 8: They're excited to be a part of this and it's 265 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 8: it'll be fun.

I 275 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 3: had a chance, you know, it's cool for me. I 276 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 3: had a chance last year to take my oldest son 277 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: down to a game, and you know, he sat there 278 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: and enjoyed it all. 279 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 2: And it is It's one thing. 280 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 3: And the atmosphere at the pit tomorrow night, with with 281 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 3: Molar going into Elder, that's a top ten atmosphere that 282 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: you can ever find, probably across the nation at times. 283 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 3: But there is something to be said about small town 284 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 3: high school football and how the whole community gets together 285 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 3: and comes out and it just makes it very special. 286 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 3: And I look forward to the most of that when 287 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 3: I get a chance to get back to Redding for sure. 288 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 8: Well it's funny you say that, because, to be honest, 289 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 8: you know, one thing about Redding is prideful, you know 290 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 8: what I mean. 291 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 7: I mean, there's a lot of pride. 292 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 8: And it's very interesting because we do about fifteen pep 293 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 8: rallies a year at Neighborhood Skyline, Chile's. We've been doing 294 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 8: them for fifteen years and man, you can tell the 295 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 8: communities that, no matter what, support their high school. And 296 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 8: you're right, Redding's won out in Cleeves. It's tailor. I mean, 297 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 8: it's the same thing. But you're right about the Molar 298 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 8: Elder and I wonder how many people realize this about 299 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 8: that game too. Molar has won eleven straight GCL South games, 300 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 8: which is incredible. So if they win at Elder tomorrow, 301 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 8: they'll have won four straight league titles without a loss. 302 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 7: Think of that. But think about this. 303 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 8: Elder has not won the GCL South outright. This is 304 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 8: stunning to me because they've got a great program. Doug 305 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 8: Ramsey's an outstanding coach since two thousand and eight. 306 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 7: Think about that. 307 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: Insane. 308 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 7: I mean, they. 309 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 8: Share it with Saint X a few years back, and 310 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 8: then you got to go back. This is the best 311 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 8: start for Elder six and oh since two thousand and three. 312 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 8: I mean, and Moler's really good. But I'll tell you 313 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 8: what Elver that came East that their quarterback is outstanding 314 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 8: running the football, passing the football. And you know, they 315 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 8: maybe don't jump off the page at you with a 316 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 8: ton of like you know, blue Chippers, they just know 317 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 8: how to play. If Doug does a great job and 318 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 8: keeps it, keeps it within the confines of what they 319 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 8: can do, and I think that's got the potential to 320 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 8: be a hell of a game at the pit. 321 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 3: You know, I've been watching a lot of high school 322 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 3: and Elder got a huge win at Saint X last week. Uh, 323 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 3: tough back to back, and I think st X has 324 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 3: to go to her host Trinity now, which is not 325 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 3: any thing for them. But there's a team that I 326 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 3: feel like isn't getting talked about enough. But you mentioned Princeton. 327 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 3: They beat Lakota West this year. Early in that game 328 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 3: against Molar, they were having their way with Moler and 329 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 3: they roller kind of found their footing a little bit. 330 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 3: But how how valid it is Princeton from what you've 331 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: seen and the type of noise they can. 332 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 7: Make, I think they're pretty good. 333 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 8: I mean, Andre Parker's done an outstanding job there and 334 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 8: they've been in GMC contention. I think they're gonna win it. 335 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 8: I don't see them losing a GMC game. And you 336 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 8: are correct and the other one and people talk about them, 337 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 8: but the other one is so dominant. I think if 338 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 8: you were to ask me, I think a lot of 339 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 8: people would say, well, Moler talent, wise, and they got 340 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 8: Matt Ponatowski obviously, the reigning Ohio mister football. 341 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 7: They made it to the state final last year. 342 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 8: But I can't see anybody stopping Anderson, I mean, at 343 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 8: least getting back there. I mean they are absurd. I 344 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 8: mean from week one, Cooper was down eight to three. 345 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 8: At halftime, well fifty two to ten. I mean, they 346 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 8: just the pace and the tempo, and they've got so 347 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 8: many They're so talented on both sides of the ball, 348 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 8: and they got studs. 349 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 7: I mean, so I. 350 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 8: Think Anderson Princeton, Anderson plays Turpin, which. 351 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 7: Turpin's having a good year. I mean they're four and 352 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 7: one in the. 353 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 8: League, so was Kings. I mean King's only loss is 354 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 8: to Anderson, and it was close early and then Anderson 355 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 8: just doesn't stop. 356 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 7: I mean they're really really good too. 357 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 8: I think Princeton's good, Moler's good, x Still has a 358 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 8: really good defense, Elder's good. I mean, there are a 359 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 8: lot of teams, but I think the team the two 360 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 8: maybe unless Elder really. 361 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 7: Shocks me Friday night. 362 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 8: And again, I think. 363 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 7: They're really really good. 364 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 8: I think Muler might be a little bit better, but 365 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 8: I think it's Moller at D one and I think 366 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 8: it's Anderson at D two. 367 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 2: How many years now?

And he's from Middletown. 451 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 6: I get it that. That's the whole point. I'm like, people, 452 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 6: Kyle Schwarber is not coming here unless you want to 453 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 6: trade the Phillies Hunter Green. Maybe I don't know who. 454 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 2: Okay, wait a second now, Hunter Green for Schwarmer. 455 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 6: I hate to disappoint people, but I don't think old 456 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 6: mister Schwarber is coming. 457 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 5: Yeah. 458 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 6: I think the Phillies are going to cough up whatever 459 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 6: amount it takes to keep him there because he's the hometown. 460 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 6: Not his hometown, but he's a big hero there. Yeah. 461 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 3: I think it's important to set the expectations early in 462 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 3: this Reds off season that it's just not going to happen. 463 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 2: Let's get that. 464 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 6: My next question, Let's make three comparison between the Reds 465 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 6: and the Bengals. Biggest roster holes, worse on field coaching management, 466 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 6: worse front office between the two teams. 467 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 3: Oh man, I feel like right now the Bengals have 468 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 3: worst roster holes. Yeah, I think the front office. I 469 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 3: still I agree with Austin. I think the Bengals have tried. 470 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: I just don't think they've got it right in some 471 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 3: of that, so I'll give them the edge there. Is 472 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 3: it crazy to say coaching is a push? I mean 473 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: I think push, but it's not the good kind of push. Yeah, 474 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 3: it ain't a touch push any successful one. 475 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 6: Have we moved to Tito the mediocre? 476 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 7: Now? 477 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 6: Is that what we're looking at? 478 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 7: Yeah? 479 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 3: When when he puts salin there and then salad delivered, 480 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 3: I thought Tito the Magnificent had one more ride in them, 481 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 3: but left the bad taste in my mouth. Yeah, it's 482 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 3: not the way you want to go into an offseason. 483 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 3: That's for darn sure. 484 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 6: But would we be happy with a twenty five home 485 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 6: run a year bat in the offseason? 486 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, for this team, they desperately need it. They're 487 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 3: the only team that's ever made the postseason without one 488 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 3: without an average over two seventy and a player to 489 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 3: hit twenty five or more home runs. 490 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 6: But we don't need Schwarber or Judge. We just need 491 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 6: a consistent guy who hits long balls. 492 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: Yes, in this ballpark, which would mean they would have 493 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 3: to maybe adapt to the idea that home runs are 494 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 3: not in fact rally killers, but a lot of teams 495 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 3: rely on them to be successful. We also can't you 496 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 3: go into the offseason assuming that guys are going to 497 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 3: take a step forward. You can't assume that Matt McLean's 498 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 3: going to be better. You can't assume that, you know, 499 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 3: Sal Stewart is just going to produce the same way 500 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 3: like you have to try to improve every part of 501 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 3: the roster. You can't just assume, oh, well, Spencer Steer, 502 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: fully healthy, is going to hit thirty home runs. No, 503 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 3: we don't know what that's gonna look like. 504 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 505 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 3: I think one of the more I think one of 506 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 3: the more fascinating offseason questions is Matt McClain and what 507 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 3: that's going to look like. He cannot come into spring 508 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 3: training next year as the starting second basement. 509 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 5: He just can't. 510 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think yeah, it's gonna be, you know, man, 511 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 6: February is going to be the real doldrooms for you guys. 512 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 6: That's a bad feeling before spring training starts up. So 513 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 6: all right, we'll have a good afternoon, gents. 514 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: Thank you, Jeff, appreciate it. We've not done this yet 515 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: this week, Austin. Let's take a look here at the 516 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 3: a little bit of the schedule coming up this weekend 517 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 3: college slate first, and one of those marquee college football 518 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 3: games is what's gonna happen at Nippert Stadium Iowa State 519 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 3: against the Cincinnati Bearcats. Right now, Austin, still the Bearcat's 520 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 3: a one and a half point favorite. I know Iowa 521 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 3: State is without both starting cornerbacks right now, and they 522 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 3: had a very lengthy injury report today with players that 523 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 3: are questionable. The only player is still questionable for the 524 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 3: Bearcats Dante Corleone. That should be a good one. It 525 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 3: does not get any easier for Mark Stoops they go 526 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 3: to Georgia. Speaking of not getting any easier. Luke fickles bunch. 527 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 3: They had a bye week Austin. Before the bye they 528 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 3: got boat raced at home by Maryland. Wisconsin is not 529 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 3: in a goods place right now. No, they now go 530 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 3: to the Big House after that, Iowa, and then they 531 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 3: get the number one and number two respective teams in 532 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: the country Ohio State and Oregon. They still got to 533 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 3: play Indiana, they still got to play Illinois, they still 534 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 3: got to play Washington and Minnesota Austin. I don't think 535 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 3: Luke Fickle gets to a bowl game in Wisconsin. Yeah, 536 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 3: and I don't think he keeps his job. Nope, they 537 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 3: do not like him in Wisconsin. Not many Top twenty 538 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 3: five matchups though, across the board. Texas Florida I think 539 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 3: can be a sneaky good game because of how Florida 540 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 3: was viewed going into the year and what Texas has 541 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 3: done or not done. What about Alabama and Vandy because 542 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 3: Vandy upsets Bama last year, Now they got to go 543 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 3: to Alabama. They're not sneaking up on anybody. Do you 544 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 3: think Vandy has a shot to go in and win 545 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 3: that game, whereas Alabama kind of righted the ship. They 546 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 3: got to win over Georgia. I know Pavia has talked 547 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 3: a lot in the offseason about this game. You give 548 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 3: Vandy a fighting chance. For as long as I live, 549 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 3: I'll never pick Vanderbilt to go into Tuscaloosa and beat 550 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: the Crimson time. 551 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 2: All Right, that's a good note. 552 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 3: They're not sneaking up on anybody. Yeah, anymore, They're certainly 553 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 3: not sneaking up on Alabama this year. Bama gonna get 554 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 3: they lick back. Boise was a top twenty five team 555 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 3: to start the year. They're three and one. They go 556 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 3: to Notre Dame and they're gonna get twenty and a 557 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 3: half points. I think that is a crazy large spread, 558 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 3: just insane. You say something about winschfuler in might be 559 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 3: our cheesy spread of the week. Uh the you Miami 560 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: goes to Florida State. Florida State a little fraudulent after 561 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 3: that lost to Virginia And is Miami as good as 562 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 3: people think? 563 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 7: Yes? 564 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 2: And no? 565 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 5: Okay on both of those questions. 566 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 3: Okay, first game back to Florida State for Kirk kurb Street, 567 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 3: oh after they verbally abused him and his family after 568 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 3: college football playoff. 569 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 2: I remember that. Yeah, that'll be one to watch for. 570 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 5: I hope Peter poops on their field. 571 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 3: Wow, you're you're calling for a Peter poop yep man, 572 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: that's an eighth anniversary Peter, of course being his dogs. Yes, 573 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 3: Peter Herbstreek the pooper. Uh, Thursday night football tonight, Austin. 574 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 3: What do you think about the Rams and Niners? No 575 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 3: Brock Party because he's had another setback with turf toe. Yeah, 576 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 3: something to think about. Party, tried to play through it, 577 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 3: got aggravated again. Turf toe stinks eight and a half. 578 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 3: That seem a lot. Yeah, as far as I know, 579 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 3: I think four starters for San Francisco are gone this week. 580 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 3: Not to mention Nick Bose is already hurt and George 581 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 3: Kittle's already hurt. So I'll say every single year, it's 582 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 3: the same story with the forty nine ers, I'll say 583 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 3: the fifteen dudes hurt. I enjoy the ability in a 584 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 3: standalone game to appreciate the Rams. Think when they get 585 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 3: on a Sunday, you got everything going on, you're watching games, 586 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 3: the ability to watch them in a standalone environment. You 587 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 3: mentioned earlier in the week the greatness of Pooka and 588 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 3: Akua right now and how dominant he is, but it's 589 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 3: just the way the offense operates and how everything pieces together. 590 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 3: Should be a good Thursday night game. Outside of that, 591 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 3: Dolphins Panthers, Uh, I'm just gonna be a lot of 592 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 3: forty nine er fans there tonight, Yeah, even though they're 593 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 3: they're banged up. Lions Bengals, of course? What about the 594 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 3: Vikings and the Browns. I just got off the notification 595 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 3: from NFL that all the game picks have been made 596 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 3: for the weekend. Do you want to hear some of 597 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 3: the scores that people are predicting for Bengals line? 598 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 2: Please please? 599 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 3: Thirty five seventeen okay, Lions not a cover, Not the Bengals, okay, 600 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 3: twenty eight to twenty thirty five, sixteen thirty four to seventeen, 601 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 3: thirty one to twenty huh So nobody thinks the Bengals 602 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 3: keep it close? 603 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 7: Man? 604 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 3: Bengals money line plus four ten? Wow, it's good value there, right? Nope, 605 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 3: No waste of money. Waste of money? What Yeah, I'm 606 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 3: not buying it. I'm not believing in it. Well, dude, 607 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 3: a couple of these other ones that I'm not sure 608 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: if I'm buying or not. What are the Browns doing 609 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 3: London against the Vikings. Good luck, Dylan Gabriel, here's Brian Flores. Yep, 610 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 3: that's what I thought of immediately. Will Shadoor Sanders actually 611 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 3: speak before then? Actually we have some Shadoor Sanders audio here. 612 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 3: Take a listen. Okay, great point, That is a great point. 613 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 3: You know what's interesting is there was that report that 614 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 3: he like blocked wanting to go to the Baltimore Ravens 615 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 3: to be Lamar's backup. Yep, and now Lamar's doubtful this week, 616 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 3: and he could have been starting instead. He's third string 617 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 3: in Cleveland. You reap what you sew, young man. 618 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 5: Funny how life works. 619 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel kind of took a shot at him too, Like, 620 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 3: if you sit around waiting for your chance at all 621 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 3: it all the time, you may never get it. Uh, 622 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 3: Cult Raiders, Giants, Saints, Well, Cowboys, Jets, why'd you say 623 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 3: it like that? I just don't think Jackson Dart baby 624 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 3: all right, the Dart era. I just those teams are 625 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 3: combined one for seven. So I hesitant. I think the 626 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,959 Speaker 3: Eagles dominate the Broncos on Sunday. What about Texans Ravens? Well, 627 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 3: hold on aj Brown, he's upset, He's not getting the rock. 628 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 3: This sounds like one of those he gets a rock 629 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 3: trouble in ice. No, I think he gets a rock 630 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 3: about eleven times. I don't think he's gonna get it 631 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 3: at all. Patrick Schertan still there. 632 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:32,719 Speaker 1: Oh oh, he continues on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's sports station. 633 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: It's time for since he three sixty quick hits. 634 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 5: On ESPN looking in the building, was looking for mo Gentlemen, 635 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 5: Happy anniversary.

I've done absolutely nothing, but you 637 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 5: think of all the people who have worked on this show. 638 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 5: You know it started as a James Rapeaen vehicle. Yeah, 639 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 5: you guys, I thought first of Jimmy Sandy exactly. That's 640 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 5: exactly who I thought of. 641 00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 7: Yep. 642 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 5: So congratulations to all parties involved. 643 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 2: Thank you. 644 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 5: Literally five of us have ever worked on this. 645 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 2: Crazy literally crazy. 646 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 3: And I thought, as a gift, yeah, we could sit 647 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 3: down tonight and see Andrew Rabbit pitch in the postseason. Boy, 648 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 3: that would be nice. Or maybe Chase Burns and some 649 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,719 Speaker 3: meaningful innings. That would be nice. What about Emilio Pagan? 650 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 5: That would be nice because the only pitches when the 651 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 5: Reds are winning crazy. 652 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 3: Nicolodola just got roughed up in his outing yesterday. Didn't 653 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 3: want to bring him back out there. 654 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 5: He was awful, and those fourteen pitches just got crushed 655 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 5: just throwing meat balls. I guess they were. He was 656 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 5: tipping his pitches too. 657 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 3: It's crazy to think we spent all season talking about 658 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 3: if they just find a way in their pitching, yeah, 659 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 3: we'll give them every chance. And most of those guys 660 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 3: didn't even have a chance to give them a chance. 661 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 5: So I put this on social media last night. The 662 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 5: series took a nose dive when Hunter Green threw his 663 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 5: fourth pitch. Because if they were going to win this series, 664 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 5: it wasn't going to be outscore of the Dodgers. It 665 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 5: was going to be when close, low scoring games. Two 666 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 5: things had to happen. Neither did one. The starting pitching 667 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 5: was going to have to be x to. They were 668 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 5: gonna have to play clean in the field, and god knows, 669 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 5: they didn't do that. But something we did all season long, 670 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 5: which was, you know they would lose a tough game, 671 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 5: including on opening Day, they would lose a tough game, 672 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 5: you would go like, man, I hope we don't go 673 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 5: back and look at that one. Well, we didn't in 674 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,479 Speaker 5: relation to them making the postseason. But because of all 675 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 5: those losses, Game one sixty two mattered, and instead of 676 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 5: doing what the Milwaukee Brewers did, or instead of doing 677 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 5: what the Philadelphia Phillies did, they had to play and 678 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 5: so they had to use bullets. I cannot blame Terry 679 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 5: Francona for using Nicko Loodolo on Sunday. I could blame 680 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 5: the team for making Sunday matter because my thought on 681 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 5: Sunday when they put Lodolo in was crap. Now if 682 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 5: they do get in, he can't pitch Wednesday. It might 683 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 5: not have made a difference. My guess is it wouldn't have. 684 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 5: But there's a reverberation. So the goal next year is 685 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 5: to how about this play one sixty two with a 686 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 5: bunch of reserves. Have it not met, have a lead, 687 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 5: you've clinched the division? 688 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 7: Yeah. 689 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 5: A week and a half prior sell tickets to a 690 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 5: scrimmage Celtic, we should be watching a scrimmage one one 691 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 5: year from today at GABP. 692 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 7: So like that. 693 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 5: That is to me, and my big takeaway is because 694 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,479 Speaker 5: this team treaded water all season long in a year 695 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 5: where the expectation was to make the playoffs. It came 696 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 5: back to bite them in the postseason. 697 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 3: It's hard not to have what ifs. What if south 698 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 3: Stewart was caught up earlier? Yeah, what if south Stewart, 699 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 3: who I saw last night battle, yes at the dish. 700 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 3: What if that south Stewart played consistently down the stretch? 701 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 5: Uh huh? 702 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 3: What if he played in meaningful games for this team 703 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 3: instead of just sparingly. What if Will Benson got opportunities 704 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 3: and maybe last night after a really good at bat 705 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 3: to draw a walk, maybe get to actually finish out 706 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 3: in at bat instead of being taken out. 707 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 5: I don't think in the middle of it. I don't think 708 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 5: I've ever seen both both ends of it taken out 709 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 5: mid at bat. I've seen the picture taken out mid 710 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 5: at bat. I've seen the hit or replace mid at bat. 711 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 5: I've not seen that. 712 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 3: Benson gets charged with the strikeout and jehar comes on 713 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 3: and has the impossible to Yeah, seeing a pitch on. Yes, 714 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 3: it's just hard on all round. What do you think 715 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 3: that Will Benson exit meeting is like today? 716 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 5: Will It's been nice?

We turn the page very quickly. Yeah, 719 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 5: but number one, our attention spans are shorter than they've 720 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 5: ever been too.

Well, but we know how this goes. 735 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 5: But like that's the problem. Yeah, that's the problem.

By the way, 746 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 5: there's not a lot of money locked into next year's team, right, 747 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 5: There's some guys who are arbitration eligible, but like the 748 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 5: guaranteed salaries are key, Brian Hayes, Hunter Green and what else? 749 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 7: You got? 750 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 5: Travino a good player, right, good?
