Speaker 5: Here we go the Wednesday edition of Talkbacks. Before we

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 5: get to that one other worried, kind of worried, not

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 5: worried for you, drill Paul Skins his opening day appearance

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 5: two thirds of an inning, thirty seven pitches. It took

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 5: Paul Skeens to retire two batters against the Mets. Today

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 5: he has retired nine Cincinnati Reds batters with only forty

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 5: two pitches.

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 4: Not great.

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 6: We also would be worried. We also just had our

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 6: first ABS.

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 4: Challenge of the day.

21
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 6: Umpire missed one by quite a bit and half and

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 6: a half.

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 4: So here we go. Great, let's go.

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 7: Hello, this is former president Ronald Riggan, and will who's

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 7: gotten more grief for not seeing a baseball c B.

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 7: Buckner or Bill Buckner. Well, I suggest we add buckner

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 7: to the dictionary as a verb that means to miss

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 7: something easy or obvious. Used in a sentence, it would

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 7: go something like this. Terry Francona bucknered the Reds chances

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 7: last night by putting Key Brian Hayes and Jose Trevigno

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 7: in the offensive starved lineup.

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 5: Terry Francona bucknered the Reds today by sitting Iohanioswarez.

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: But again going back, those guys, those two guys were

34
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: on base five times last night.

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, like if everyone last night it wasn't their fault.

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 6: Of John and Boston's punching air at the Bill Buckner

37
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 6: call out.

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: Sorry John.

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 8: So the call from CD Buckner is that Jake Bowers

40
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 8: missed first base and then was tagged out, not that

41
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 8: he made a.

42
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 9: Move to second base right and was tagged out.

43
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: That he flat out missed the bag.

44
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: And I think that is the harlandless.

45
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: Would you be putting her looking I'd have been looking

46
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: at him.

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: Why would he even say that?

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 10: Everybody laughing at that call?

49
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: Yep, that's what it is. That's what it is.

50
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 4: That's incredible.

51
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 6: See that right there is great use of the iHeartMedia

52
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 6: talkback feature brilliant because I had not heard that. I

53
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 6: knew he wasn't looking, but I had not heard the

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 6: I'm not sure what broadcast that was. Credit to whoever

55
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 6: it was, though, that's that's good stuff, brilliant, that's brilliant,

56
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 6: brilliant boy Ce B.

57
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: Buckner having a tough starts the year.

58
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 9: Hey, it's Greg. You know, as a proud uc guy

59
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 9: for probably like sixty five years. I'm really really happy

60
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 9: with his hire, and I really think coach Calhoun can

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 9: get his right your action.

62
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: Hey, you have good day, Tony.

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, Greg, and be sure to listen at

64
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: two o'clock this afternoon. Calhoun joins us the good tease.

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 6: I haven't had a chance to talk about Jared Calhoun again,

66
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 6: and I'm pretty much echoing what a lot of people

67
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 6: attached to the Cincinnati program have said. But I think

68
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 6: that's a slam dunk's It just just feels right, feels

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 6: like the fit, and it's pretty remarkable how things can

70
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 6: fall into place like that because he you know, he

71
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 6: could have taken a job last year and been off

72
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 6: the board, but he stays at Utah State, has another

73
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 6: great year, wins a tournament game, and then boom, the

74
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 6: UC job opens up, and it feels like that was

75
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 6: one he's always kind of had his eye on. Yeah,

76
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 6: and I'm interested to see, you know what he talks

77
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 6: about more as you discussed it with him in the

78
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 6: upcoming segments.

79
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: Sports are nonsports in today's world, very hard for almost

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 5: everyone to agree on one thing, no doubt. And it

81
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: feels like everyone has agreed on that higher it does.

82
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, and Tony, I was when you talked to coach Calhoun.

83
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 10: If it's appropriate, ask him about the player out of

84
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 10: Toledo named Leroy Bliden, junior guard. He's in a transfer portal,

85
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 10: so when they opened up, ask him about blast and jor.

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,119
Speaker 5: Now, I don't know how much we can talk about

87
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 5: actual portal because it legally opens on April seventh. I

88
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 5: don't know if we can get into player details, but

89
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 5: I will talk to him about the portal.

90
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, and uh, you know, just a quick look at

91
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 6: Leroy Blyden Junior's numbers last year average sixteen to for

92
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 6: a game on forty six percent from the field for

93
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 6: from three eighty four percent from the free throw line.

94
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: So you know, it looks like looks like a pretty.

95
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: Pretty going his research already.

96
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it looks like he's looks like a pretty good player.

97
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 6: He's a freshman last year as well, so he'll be

98
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 6: an incoming sophomore wherever he decides to play his college

99
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 6: basket next season.

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 11: Hey, it's the Lord. I got a question for Katie Blackburn.

101
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 4: Oh, get her on the horn.

102
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 11: When do you think Moeger when you, Pike and Austin

103
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 11: Olmer can come in and help you run your team?

104
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: Oh?

105
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 11: They seem to have more answers, better explanations of what's

106
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 11: going on with the team than you guys.

107
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 4: Do Who draws more of the ire? Tobin or Katie?

108
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 5: I would always say Tobin, Although what has happened this

109
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 5: week with Katie is going to draw the ire of

110
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 5: a lot of people. And we'll discuss that more. And

111
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: our three as well.

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 12: Tony and Drew. It's Boomer Drew from Southbound. My heart

113
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 12: goes out to Tiger Woods. This is something that he

114
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 12: needed to recognize before something like this happened. Just could

115
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 12: have turned out way worse. Hopefully he can get the

116
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 12: treatment he needs and can move on the game needs

117
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 12: And I don't need any ABS system to tell me

118
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 12: how bad Cebe Buckner is how this guy got to

119
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 12: the big leagues is beyond me. Stevie Wonder could call

120
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 12: a better game.

121
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 6: Thanks, guys, just an absolute free for all on CD today.

Speaker 14: Yeah?

130
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 13: Hi, this is Ike, Mike's brother. I hope you'll indulge me.

131
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 13: I just want to talk about the Cincinnati Reds for

132
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 13: a minute. I know we usually talk about the Dodgers,

133
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 13: But how about that Elie d la Cruz. He's not

134
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 13: really off to a hot start. I think we should

135
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 13: trade him for that O'Neill cruise, you know, ship cruise cruise, ship,

136
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 13: swap him for each other. Yeah, we'll get that O'Neal cruise.

137
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 13: Maybe we'll do a little bit better. Thanks, I'll hang up.

138
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 5: As I always say, when folks calling about Mike, you

139
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 5: have the uh, the freedom to call in as well.

140
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 5: Five one, fifteen thirty and today I thought Mike drew

141
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 5: a nice comparison to what the Dodgers have been doing, yeah,

142
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 5: with their i'd say non star players, versus what the

143
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 5: Reds non stars have not been able to do to

144
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 5: start the.

145
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: Year, no doubt.

146
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 6: And you know, Mike, I feel like Mike brings a

147
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 6: good conversation to the show. He's always friendly to me

148
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 6: when he calls in and shout out to Mike. Well,

149
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 6: he calls in to have a conversation.

150
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: That's right.

151
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 14: So hey, Tony here, Jeff and you Richmond, Happy Wednesday two. Yeah,

152
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 14: So Brandon Williamson struggled last night. It was so red

153
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 14: as it was unbelievable. He's not young, so I don't

154
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 14: know how much longer you go with him before you

155
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 14: look at a Chase Petty who is younger. Excited about

156
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 14: Jerry Calhoun's interview it to maybe ask him about how

157
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 14: things look in the portal.

158
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Jeff, we'll do Yeah.

159
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 6: Thing with Williamson is and look, I know it was

160
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 6: the first time in you know, five hundred plus days

161
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 6: that he'd been on a mound, and he had a

162
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 6: good spring and all that, but like it was Red

163
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 6: Lounder's first time on a mound in five hundred plus

164
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 6: days too, and he looked pretty acclimated. He looked pretty

165
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 6: ready to go. So, you know, one games as a

166
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 6: as a tool to ramp up, right, and so you know,

167
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 6: it's you know, it's one start. He could go out

168
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 6: next week and you know, throw six scoreless.

169
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: I hope he does.

170
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 6: But but yeah, my leash for him is substantially shorter,

171
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 6: especially considering that there's still some pretty pretty good starting

172
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 6: pitcher arms that are still out there on the open market.

173
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 6: And if you feel like you need to start getting

174
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 6: some length out of guys, and you know, you need

175
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 6: a little bit more of a veteran presence in there

176
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 6: while Green's out, you know, Williamson, the time is now to.

177
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 4: Play well.

178
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 15: Up guys mcahon in Kentucky. I really got a question, Tito,

179
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 15: Frank Coola. Not only do you got you better hitters

180
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 15: in triple A, JJ and ces, Yes, but you're gonna

181
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 15: be three and three. You can't complain about being three

182
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 15: and three after you're playing schemes and crochet. But why

183
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 15: did you pitch abbot against them?

184
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 16: Guys?

185
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 15: You knew you wasn't going to beat them. He shouldn't

186
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 15: the abbot for another game. Fortunately, we went one nose

187
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 15: three and three. But that's just not spark managing. You

188
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 15: should have threw Singer against these two guys and just.

189
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 6: Completely give the game a lot, a lots of lots

190
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 6: of unpacked there.

191
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 2: I Crochet and Abbitt, they they counted each other. Yeah,

192
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: neither gave up a run.

193
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: I wonder if he meant to say Reese Hines instead

194
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: of ce s There.

195
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 6: That's a name I haven't heard worried about CS boy.

196
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 6: He could have just lived. He could have lived in

197
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 6: the worried section last year. But again, like it goes

198
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 6: back to wanting those guys to play every day. And honestly,

199
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be surprised if JJ Bleda is up sooner

200
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 6: rather than later, because you know he's he's established himself

201
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 6: in the big leagues as a good player.

202
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: Had it down here last year. JJ Blede is the

203
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 4: one to keep an eye on. To be called up

204
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 4: pretty eminently, I would.

205
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 17: Think, Hey, guys, Sean from Eastkate John, I love to

206
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 17: talk back. A few weeks ago before Duke Toven spoke

207
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 17: to the media and I said the one thing I

208
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 17: did not want to hear from him was that they

209
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 17: liked their linebackers. And yet here we are no linebacker

210
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 17: sign and Zach Taylor all to confirmed yesterday they're moving

211
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 17: forward with the same two linebackers.

212
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: Good lord.

213
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna talk a little bit more an hour

214
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 5: three about some of Zach's comments yesterday, particularly around linebackers.

215
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 8: I Uh, my question is for Drew since we got

216
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 8: a pass here, curious what you think about our team

217
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 8: going into the playoffs and why isn't Donovan mischis morn

218
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 8: I'm a little worried.

219
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: I want them to say that is part of it.

220
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 8: So boys a Celtish and the Hornets.

221
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 7: But.

222
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: We're talking about avoiding the Hornets.

223
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 6: We're talking about avoiding the Hornets now with the with

224
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 6: the Calves, they're gonna be the four seed. I think

225
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 6: that's pretty much, you know, set in Stone. I don't

226
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 6: know if it's like confirmed, but that's yeah. They are

227
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 6: four games up in Atlanta and right now they would

228
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 6: play Atlanta, who I would much rather play than the

229
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 6: Toronto Raptors in the first round. And yeah, I'm I'm

230
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 6: cool with avoiding Boston and New York and I'll take

231
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 6: my chances with Detroit.

232
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: Ut of New Orleans. You don't want any part of

233
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: the Hornets.

234
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, the New Orleans Hornets, who are currently tenth in

235
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 6: the play in at forty and thirty six.

236
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 4: Why is Donovan Mitchell not scoring as much?

237
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 6: Well, you know, James Harden being on the team is

238
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 6: certainly part of that, and I thought, I think James

239
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 6: Harden has been a good addition for the Calves so far.

240
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 4: So they're kind of just tread and water right now.

241
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: You know.

242
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 6: They they're seven and three in their last ten. They

243
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 6: lost last night to the Lakes on the road, which

244
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 6: you know, that's that's all. The Lakers are nine to

245
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 6: one and one four in a row, and they're in

246
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 6: nine to one in their last ten, so you know,

247
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 6: that's not a game I'm not too worried about.

248
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 4: Uh So we'll see.

249
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 6: And everyone told me it all comes down to what

250
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 6: they do, you know, in the playoffs this year, so

251
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 6: that's one we'll know. The one concern I have about

252
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 6: the Cleveland Cavaliers is their defense has not been very

253
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 6: good for the last month and a half.

254
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, they don't defend anybody.

255
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: Well, we'll see what had the playoffs there.

256
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 6: I say it all the time, the NBA playoff regular

257
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 6: or NBA regular season and NBA playoffs that might as

258
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 6: well be different sports, so we'll see how it goes.

259
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 16: Yeah, I can't how he said the Reds have some

260
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 16: passionate fans.

261
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just my son.

262
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 16: He was born a couple of months after they won

263
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 16: their last World Series. You know, it's it's been a

264
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 16: long time. I think the Pirates they might do some

265
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 16: this year. My astros are looking good. I think the

266
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 16: Rangers and Braves are looking good. And since got to

267
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 16: go down to TAXI.

268
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 5: Tell you who else looking good? Tit the magnificent Nathaniel

269
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 5: Lowe clean up it today, drives in l day like.

270
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 6: A lowdown three to one, the lowdown.

271
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: Paul Schemes struggling.

272
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 4: What's one more here?

273
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: Okay, so fellas this banks?

274
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 18: Hey, could you ask coach cal hole Man. When we

275
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 18: was growing up, we got to see you see your

276
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 18: channel nineteen every day.

277
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: That's how we got to love our team.

278
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 18: Now we got to chase you see all over the

279
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 18: internet to try to find a game. It's ridiculous. Can

280
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 18: we get U see back on local TV? I really

281
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 18: appreciate that, Thank you.

282
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 5: I don't know if Jered Calhoun has a saying to say,

283
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 5: you think that's more of a conference alignment thing.

284
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 6: If Calhoun can get the Bearcats back on local TV,

285
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 6: then what can he do?

286
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: You know what?

287
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 5: I like Calhoun to bring back? What's that midnight madness.

288
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 5: Let's just yeah, that's just when I was growing up.

289
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 5: And again it's it's probably not on his radar yet.

290
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 5: When I was growing up, midnight Madness legitimately started at

291
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 5: midnight and it was one of the coolest events you see.

292
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: Did every year.

293
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it feels like that's gone away, Like everywhere loved

294
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 6: every replacement. Secret scrimmages not so secret scrimmages anymore.

295
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 5: But by the way, after uh Nathaniel Lowe hit that

296
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 5: RBI double, Spencer Steer just grounded out. It looked like

297
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 5: Spencer Steer was swinging a forty pound bat. I've never

298
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 5: seen a more lumbersome swing in my life. And also

299
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 5: Ellie got the second. It was a ground out from

300
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: south Stewart. It was one of the most competitive bats

301
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 5: I've seen against Paul Skeens, like South Stewart's He's gonna

302
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 5: be a great playoff, he's gonna be so good, so

303
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 5: locked in man, and even though he grounded out, he

304
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 5: got the runner a second with no outs. Did his job,

305
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 5: well done, South Stewart.

306
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 4: We had won more coming at the gun. At the

307
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 4: gun man last night's game.

308
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 12: Jave me Bunkers.

309
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: Repping in Natty out here, Sonny hots On, What up, Tony?

310
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: How you go out bunt, pop out bunt and get

311
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: the double play when the picture was clearly struggling on

312
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: the mound and then the pitch and they brought after.

313
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: That was struggling just the same. Yep, the Reds confused me.

314
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: Man the lack of hitting and runners in position. I

315
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,880
