1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Fifteen thirty. Just over here doing by job. What's job? Five? 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: After four? This is ESPN fifteen thirty. I'm all legard, 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening, thank for having a a pleasant 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: Tuesday afternoon. In thirty minutes, our Sports League of Export 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: attorney stuartbed Penrose from the Manila Law Group on a 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: few different topics. We have to talk about legally what 7 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods may be facing. We did not get a 8 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: chance to talk about that last week because we didn't 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: have Stuart on because I wasn't here. Also, the President's 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: executive Order aimed at quote fixing college sports, a lot 11 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: of which I think there's some real common sense stuff 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: in there. But how legally binding is it? What's it 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 1: going to mean for college sports as a whole. We'll 14 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: get to all of that. Was Stuart coming up in 15 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: about thirty minutes. We've got to spend some time on 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: the college basketball national title game last night. Michigan wins 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: the championship, knocking off Yukon in a bruising college basketball 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: game last night. That a little bit later on this 19 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: hour plus Brenneman and Jones on baseball, the Reds are 20 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: seven and three. That is a one hundred and thirteen 21 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: win pace seven and three. Tonight they go for a 22 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: fifth consecutive victory. They're seven and three through ten games. 23 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: Let's be honest, man, Over the last at No. Twenty 24 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: twenty five, hell, maybe thirty years, there have been more 25 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: ten games stretches to open the season where we have 26 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: wondered how big of a hole are they going to 27 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: dig themselves than there have been stretches where they have 28 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: won the overwhelming majority of games they've played. Seven and three, 29 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: the Reds are off to a terrific start, and that 30 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: terrific start is perhaps amplified by the fact that the 31 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs, the odds on favorite to win this division, 32 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: have gotten off to a slow start. Now the almost 33 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: indestructible Milwaukee Brewers, who I feel like they could almost 34 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: just run nine dudes out there, doesn't matter who they are, 35 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: are off to an even better start at eight and two. 36 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: But seven and three is great, And what makes it 37 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: even better is the starting pitching has been terrific. Watching 38 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: Brandon Williamson last night, I liked watching RT Louder on 39 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: Saturday he was terrific, and watching Chase Burns just at 40 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: times stare down Texas's hitters and dominate them was a treat. 41 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: But watching Brandon Williamson use that change up to flummox, 42 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: I think that's the word flummox. We'll go with flummox. 43 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: Miami's hitters last night was terrific. Ellie dela Cruz creating 44 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: a run with a hustle double that set up Sal 45 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: Stewart driving him in. It was quintessential Ellie where he 46 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: hits a ground ball to basically center field. He is 47 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: charging out of the box, he rounds first with authority, 48 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: he beats the throw easily. It was the type of 49 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: small art aggressive play that if you're Elie de la Cruz, 50 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: you could use to your advantage to help create more 51 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: scoring opportunities. It sets up sal Stewart, who's obviously off 52 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: to a great start. I still think he's gonna be 53 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: National League Rookie of the Year. Time will Tell puts 54 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: a run on the board, Tyler Stevenson goes deep. The 55 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: Reds have played ten games. They have won seven. They 56 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: have four wins this year where they have scored exactly 57 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: two runs four. You're lucky to have four of those 58 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: in like two months. They have four in less than 59 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: two weeks. It's what great pitching will do for you. 60 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: More excellent bullpen work last night, It's what great defense 61 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: will do for you. The Reds still haven't made an error, 62 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: which is pretty remarkable. They play clean, crisp baseball. They 63 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: don't give up extra outs. For the most part, they 64 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 1: don't give up extra bases. I wasn't entirely sure what 65 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: Will Benson was doing on the Ramirez double or right 66 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: field last night, but nonetheless, they're playing a very clean 67 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: brand of baseball because of their offensive issues, and we 68 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: are going to talk about them here in a second. 69 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: They have because of their offensive issues, and we touched 70 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: on this a little bit yesterday, but they have a 71 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: very small margin for error. But they don't make it 72 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: even smaller by making a bunch of dumb plays in 73 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: the field, by making a bunch of dumb plays on 74 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: the bass pass, or by having bad pitching. So that's 75 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: all really really good. The headline is the Reds are 76 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: seven to three. The headline is and should be, the 77 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: Reds have gotten off, at least so far, to a 78 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: good start, and they have done it in spite of 79 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: a very very weak offense. I think all of us, 80 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: as sports fans would love to talk more about a 81 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: team overcoming its deficiencies than be sunken by them. But 82 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: you can't talk about a team overcoming its deficiencies without 83 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: at least worrying a little bit when those deficiencies will 84 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: ultimately sink them. They are walking a tightrope right now. 85 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: They've scored twenty eight runs in ten games. I mentioned 86 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: all the close, low scoring wins, but they are walking 87 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: a tightrope right now with their profound lack of offense. 88 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: So the question becomes, where are they going to get 89 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: more offense from now? Elie Devia Cruiz is off to 90 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: a terrific start, and Sal Stewart's off to a terrific start, 91 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: and they have gotten bit contributions from a lot of 92 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: different guys. But at the end of the day, ten games, 93 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: twenty eight runs. I would be willing to bet that 94 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: if they score just twenty eight runs or maybe less 95 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 1: over the next ten games, they will not win seven 96 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: of them. So here, to me is a little bit 97 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: of the issue. They have a lot of guys who 98 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: have gotten off to slow starts this season that you 99 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: might be willing to say, well, it's early, it's only 100 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: ten games. It's not even been two weeks since opening day. 101 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: Don't press the panic button, don't overreact. Give these guys time. 102 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: They'll turn into the back of the baseball card. And 103 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: I don't think for a second that, for example, TJ. 104 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: Friedel's a one forty seven hitter, but he's batting one 105 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: forty seven right now, and I'm using batting average understanding 106 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: it is a flawed statistic. Noel J. Marte, who's in 107 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: the lineup tonight, excuse me, in the lineup tonight against 108 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: a very very good Miami pitcher in Sandy al Contra, 109 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: is not an eighty three hitter. That's what he's hitting 110 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: right now. Tyler Stevenson is not a one sixty seven hitter, 111 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: though that's what he is batting right now. That said, 112 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: some of these early season offensive issues that we are 113 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: seeing some of these guys go through, unfortunately, are a 114 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: little bit of a continuation of some things we saw 115 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: unfold last year. Noelve Martes off to a bad start, 116 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: and it is completely fair to wonder how long his 117 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: leash is gonna be. We talked about that on opening day. 118 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: I asked Tommy Thrawl about that the day before Opening 119 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: Day on this show, why did we talk about those things? 120 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: Noelve Marte had an uneven spring b He's been in 121 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: the doghouse before. See Terry Francona midway through spring training, 122 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: pretty lukewarm endorsement of noelve Marte. Indeed, they have other 123 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: dudes who can play the position that noelve Marte is playing, 124 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: that he still doesn't have a lot of experience playing well. 125 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: He's off to an eighty three start. Noel ve Marte 126 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: authored the signature moment of the season last year. It's 127 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: going to be remembered this weekend with a bobblehead of 128 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: him going over the right field wall to rob a 129 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: home run against Pittsburgh in Game one fifty nine last 130 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: year at GABP. But over his last thirty two games 131 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: last season, noelve Marte batted one ninety two. So take 132 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: that and add to it his anemic start to the 133 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: season so far this year. It is fair to wonder, 134 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: based on how last season ended and the beginning of 135 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: the season this year, either how long is it going 136 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: to take for Noel ve Martets start hitting or how 137 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: long will they wait for Noel Marte to start hitting 138 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: before they bring up somebody else like Reese Hines. TJ. 139 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: Friedel's off to a slow start. A TJ. Friedel top 140 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: to bottom. Last year had a pretty decent season, got 141 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: on base at roughly a thirty six percent clip. That's 142 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: pretty good for a leadoff hitter. TJ. Friedel this year 143 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: has an on base percentage of two ninety three. That's 144 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: not going to cut it. It's really not going to 145 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: cut it for a leadoff guy. But TJ. Friedel last season, 146 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: over his last ninety three games, batted two thirty six. 147 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: This year so far, he's batting one forty seven. Again, 148 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm using batting average because it's the simplest stat and 149 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: maybe I should use others, but I think you get 150 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: the point. So TJ. Friedel, you might go, well, it's 151 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: only been ten games. He's gonna hit at some point. 152 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: But his slow start to the season, much like Noelve Marte, 153 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: seemingly an extension of his poor finish to last season. 154 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: They have a guy playing third base. And I know 155 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: there are folks who get mad at me when I 156 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: say this, keep Bryan Hayes is just a bad hitter. 157 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: Like I'm sorry, He's just a bad hitter. Bad hitters 158 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: when they get off to slow starts, the numbers look 159 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: like the numbers that keep Brian Hayes is putting up. 160 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: He's bat in the buck fifteen, he's slugging one fifteen. 161 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: Why because he doesn't have an extra base hit. He 162 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: doesn't get on base a lot, getting on base in 163 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: an eighteen percent clip. I could go back and resite 164 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: a bunch of numbers from Kee Brian Hayes twenty twenty 165 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: five after he got traded by the Pirates to the Reds. 166 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: I don't think I need to bore you with those. 167 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: We know he's just a bad hitter. Spencer Steer. Spencer 168 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: Steer hit the big two run home run on Friday 169 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: against Texas, which, to a degree, set the tone for 170 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: the weekend, maybe set the tone for the four game 171 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: winning streak that hopefully they extend tonight. But top to bottom, 172 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: Spencer Steer off to a slow start. Dude has been 173 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 1: an absolute strikeout machine. Eleven ks, thirty five played appearances, 174 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: a batting average below two hundred. Last year, Spencer Steer 175 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: had a league average ops batted two thirty eight. Tyler 176 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: Stevenson did not have a great offensive season last year. 177 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: The home run last night notwithstanding, Tyler Stevenson is not 178 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: off to a great start this year. Now, there's always 179 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: extremes this early in the season. Sal Stewart is probably 180 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: not going to have an OPS approaching eleven hundred, that's 181 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: what he has right now. He'll come back to Earth 182 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: and some of these guys will hit more and their 183 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 1: numbers won't look as ghastly. But this team's got to 184 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: find offense. And in order to find offense, you need 185 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: someone in this group of players who started last season 186 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: slowly and who have started this season slowly, to start 187 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: to hit, maybe start to hit at a level that 188 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: they're not capable of. How and when are those things 189 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: going to happen? Fair question, That's why I asked it. 190 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: Five point three seven four nine, fifteen thirty and eight 191 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: sixty six seven h two three seven seven six. Again, 192 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: it is always so much better, so much more fun 193 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: to discuss these things when the team is winning. I know, 194 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: I know in every fan base there are segments of 195 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: people who say, look, forget about all that, just enjoy 196 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: the fact that they're winning. Frankly, that's not my job. 197 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: My job's to talk about the team. This team has 198 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: awesome starting pitching has gotten very good. Relief work is 199 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: making every play in the field, but they're gonna be 200 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: limitations to what they can accomplish if offensively they're not 201 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: better and they're probably not as bad as they have 202 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: been so far this season. But if they continue to 203 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: be as bad as they've been so far this season, 204 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: even in the short term, that's going to be a 205 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: problem in a division that is so far at least 206 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: highly highly can copetitive at Molegger on Twitter.

Not going to 234 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: be aimlessly pointing a remote up at the TV. So 235 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: there you go, Long Next, We thank them, will help out. 236 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: Nick Lodolo coming up in the next hour mentioned Brennanman 237 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: and Jones on Baseball Resigns right now has an OPS 238 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: of thirteen twenty nine, and like you know, this is 239 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: one of the byproducts if you will of having kind 240 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: of an incomplete off season, which the great start win 241 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: loss wise notwithstanding, I still think it's fair from an 242 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: offensive perspective to wonder what this team would look like 243 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: had they made one more move. When they didn't, I 244 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: think a lot of his feared that we would be 245 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: cycling through with the bottom end of the roster or 246 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: in searching for potential offensive solutions. A lot of guys 247 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: who have already been given chances here, Resigns is one 248 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: of those guys. Now, I don't think anybody should have 249 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: given up on Resigns simply because you know, when he 250 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: got chances last year, he did not make the most 251 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: of them. But still, at the same time, the guy 252 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: did nothing but rake this spring. Like there are seasons, 253 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: and I know I'm not the only person to say this, 254 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: but there are seasons where resigned spring training numbers would 255 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: have not only allowed him to make the team, they 256 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: would have earned him a starting gig. And to refresh 257 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: your memory or give you an idea if you don't know, 258 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: Resigns during the spring had an ops of fourteen to fourteen. 259 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: He homered five times in forty three plate appearances. He 260 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: batted four to ten. His performance at the plate was 261 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: good enough for him to make the team. Now, the 262 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: explanation was, well, we want Reese to play every day. 263 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: We don't want him coming off the bench. We've got 264 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: Nathaniel low to come off the bench and specifically be 265 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: a bench guy. We want re Shigns and JJ Bleda 266 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: to play every day and they're not going to do 267 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: that here, so we're going to send both to Louisville. 268 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: Made sense, But two things have happened since one. Rees 269 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: Hines has continued his tear in Louisville. What he has 270 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: done so far at Triple A has been an extension 271 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: of what he did in the Cactus League. That might 272 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: not be worth a ton, but it's not worth nothing. Also, 273 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: the Reds offense so far has stunk. The team as 274 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: a whole, hasn't. The Reds offense so far has not 275 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: been very good. And by the way, like this this 276 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: is a season with the idea is to like make 277 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: a legitimate charge here, right like not not sneak in 278 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: win the division, go into the postseason with the head 279 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: of team like it's I don't think we have to 280 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: keep stating this every single day, like it's it's pretty 281 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: obvious what the goals here should be. And when you 282 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: have goals bigger than merely finishing with an above five 283 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: hundred record or merely being competitive, you are a little 284 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: bit less patient than maybe you have been when it 285 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: comes to the bottom end of your roster or positions 286 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: where you're not getting a lot of offense. From right now, 287 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of positions where the Reds are not 288 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: getting a lot of offense. They have a guy who 289 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: plays one of those positions. Even though they've worked out 290 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: in center field and Louisville. They have a guy who 291 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: plays the outfield who in spring training did nothing but 292 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: rake and that is can continued so far at TRIPAA. Now, 293 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: nobody would be stunned if Reesehin's got another opportunity and 294 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: didn't hit. If you don't remember last year and his 295 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: limited opportunities, Reeshigns batted one sixteen, He struck out twenty 296 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: one times in forty four played appearances. Now the year before, 297 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: remember he had a whole bunch of home runs in 298 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: a very short amount of time. But it's fair to 299 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: be skeptical. He is twenty five years old. He has 300 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: been a part of your at franchise now for a 301 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: while Reese Signs was drafted by the Reds seven years ago, 302 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: He's not getting any younger. He's not twenty one, twenty 303 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: two years old anymore. He is a guy who has, 304 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: I think, for the most part, done everything you could 305 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: ask him to do at the minor league level. He 306 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: has got nearly two thousand minor league played appearances. He's 307 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: played in over four hundred and fifty minor league games. 308 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: Isn't a time at the major league level to really 309 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: figure out what you got here with the dude? Isn't 310 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: it time here at the major league level to really 311 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: figure out what you got with the dude when your 312 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: offense is gasping for help. I don't know the downside 313 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: here and calling out resigns and sending Noel a Marte 314 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: back or benching TJ. Friedel for what it's worth, I'm 315 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: not sure that comes with a ton of downside. You 316 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: might argue that TJ. Friedel has enough of a track 317 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: record that they should give him more than just ten games, 318 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: and maybe, but like, how good is that track record? 319 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: How good is his good? What would be the harmon 320 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: try trying out to resigns and specifically in right field 321 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: with Noelve Marte, What would be the harm and trying resigns? Like, 322 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: if you have a dude who showed up in spring training, 323 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: kind of remade his body, maybe rededicated himself physically, did 324 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: nothing but hit, and that has continued and your team 325 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: is struggling as bad as it is offensively, is there 326 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: any reason to not bring him up. He may not 327 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: be a savior. Not sure. The Reds are looking for 328 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: a savior. Their saviors are the guys on the mound. 329 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: But what they're doing offensively has the team walking a tightrope. 330 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: How much longer can they walk the tightrope before they 331 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: fall off? How much longer can they not hit before 332 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: it's time to make a change.

I was there with 377 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 4: my dad. It was a great moment for us. 378 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: I've been blessed to be at most recent two Michigan 379 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: football titles and now basketball. Drove home after the game, 380 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 2: slept just a few hours, and I'll say it's good. 381 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 4: It's a good thing this is in the morning show mode. 382 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: Because I had zero voice until about the last couple 383 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 2: of hours. 384 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 1: I'm sure it was an unbelievable Yeah, yeah, I'm envious. 385 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: I want to feel this one day, just one day 386 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: in my life. But I'll enjoy it through you. Nonetheless. 387 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about let's talk about what's next 388 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: for college sports. So last week, as you know, the 389 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: President of the United States signed an executive order and 390 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: this is his second one aiming at quote fixing college sports. 391 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: But this one had some specifics to it. Laid out 392 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: some transfer and eligibility rules, laid out some limits for 393 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: nil threatened schools that violate rules with specific financial penalties. 394 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: All this came down on Fridays. So I guess a 395 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: lot of us are asking the same question, which is 396 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: what now and how binding is this? 397 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 4: Well? 398 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 3: What now? 399 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 4: Or more legal challenges? 400 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 2: You know, President Trump himself came up and came out 401 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 2: and said, you know, we'll see how this holds up 402 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 2: in court. It might not, and you know, sounds like 403 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 2: he understands that. And you know, you know, executive orders 404 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 2: telling a federal agency how. 405 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 4: How to operate. 406 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 2: It's it's not a law passed by Congress. It's you know, 407 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: not directly bonding on schools, you know, on conferences or 408 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 2: the inc double a. 409 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 4: They don't have to automatically comply. 410 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,479 Speaker 2: Certainly, it seems like the endgame here is to you know, 411 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 2: create pressure on Congress to you know, to work to 412 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 2: try to make some real changes to college sports here. 413 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 2: And you know, it seems that that's the end goal. 414 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: Whether this has any real meaning to it at the 415 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: end of the day, you know, only time will tell. 416 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: There was an executive order signed last year that was 417 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: aimed at and I put this in quotes because this 418 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: was in the executive order aimed at quote saving college sports. 419 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: Did that executive order end up having any impact? 420 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 4: Well, it's kind of. 421 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 2: Like what's topping with this new executive order. It's trying 422 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 2: to keep pressure on the issue to push the conversation forward. 423 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 2: And that's what President Trump is clearly trying to do here, 424 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 2: so you know, more or less mode, it's sort of 425 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: setting the agenda instead of changing the rules overnight. He's 426 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: trying to keep pressure on the issue to make something 427 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 2: happen here, you know, but it's not something that's going 428 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 2: to change. 429 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 4: Things overnight here. There's not an easy button here. It's 430 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 4: not going to override state laws. 431 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: It's not going to immediately stop all these anti trust lawsuits. 432 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 2: But if Congress will eventually ask you, then there could 433 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: be some real change here. 434 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Tiger Woods charge with DUI, which this 435 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: is the second time he has faced a DUI charge, 436 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 1: the first being twenty seventeen. Back then he was found 437 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: asleep at the wheel of a car parked in the 438 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: middle of the street in Florida, and he later plied 439 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: guilty to reckless driving and he entered it diversion program 440 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: as part of that deal. He now faces DUI. We'll 441 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: see how this unfolds. Is he going to end up 442 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: facing larger, larger consequences because of him being a quote 443 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: repeat offender. 444 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 2: Possibly even though he got a diversion program last time, 445 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 2: they can still look at the you know, what he 446 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 2: was charged with and what the conduct was, and you know, 447 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 2: not necessarily be treated the same as a as a 448 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: true first time offender. 449 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 4: So it could it could. 450 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 2: Influence how much discretion the prosecutors may have, how the 451 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 2: judge may sentence. It could make diversion less likely or 452 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 2: simply not available to him. So yes, certainly, certainly it. 453 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 4: Can impact that the case goes along. 454 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: Here for Tiger, he didn't take the urine analysis test. 455 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: He didn't blow above a zero point zero, so doesn't 456 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: appear that there was any alcohol in his system. So 457 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: how does the prosecution prove impairment? 458 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: Yes, well, first off, Tiger's smart is not taking year intest. 459 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 2: You know, in Florida, they're allowed to use the the 460 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: refusal as an argument against you. You know, they can say, hey, 461 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 2: you know, you know, if you were, if you were sober, 462 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 2: why didn't you take the urine test? But at the 463 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 2: same time he's refusing to give them the hard evidence. 464 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: It makes it a lot harder to prosecute that case. 465 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: But it's not impossible. They can still use the body 466 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: cams MO. They can use whatever other fields of variety 467 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: test we're taken of Tiger officer observations. 468 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 4: You know, perhaps they could use the awesome one miner 469 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 4: he's delivered up. I'm sorry, I was just talking to president. 470 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 2: You know, there are there are other things that they 471 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: can use for him there, but he was smart to 472 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: not give him heart evidence. And let's be honest, if 473 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 2: you're Tiger Woods, you have you're going to have an 474 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 2: excellent lawyer that's going to you know, represent you the 475 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 2: best of his abilities, and you know, if there's no 476 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 2: hard evidence, then that's that's a nice win for Tiger. 477 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 4: That's that's part of it. 478 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: So the other motorists involved here, Now, what I've read 479 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: indicates that he doesn't plan on filing any civil litigation, 480 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: but he has hired a lawyer. If he's not planning 481 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: on suing Tiger, why would he hire a lawyer. 482 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 2: My understanding is that he hired a lawyer to make 483 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 2: a personal injury claim, you know, which, which is what 484 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 2: I do for a litle I'm a personal injury attorney, 485 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: and you know, most cases model are settled outside of 486 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 2: court through insurance claims. I have no idea what this 487 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 2: person's injuries are, and you know what their treatment is 488 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: and what they're claiming. But you know, if Tiger Woods 489 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 2: is certainly going to have good insurance to collect from, 490 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 2: so you know, we'll see if that ends in a 491 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 2: in an insurance settlement. 492 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 4: Or or if necessitates a lawsuit. 493 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 2: You know that that's not something that's you know, known 494 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 2: right away and you know takes time as. 495 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 4: It goes along. 496 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: Are there I know you don't practice in Florida, but 497 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: are there laws or statutes that make this unique to 498 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: Florida to complicate this case? 499 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: Yes, I mean certainly, Like I said before, his refusal 500 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: to take to take the urine test, I believe that 501 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: there's an automatic license suspension there for him. With that, 502 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: you can still get driving privileges for you know, work essentials, 503 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 2: what have you, and your refusal can be used against 504 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 2: you in court. That said, you know, you gave the 505 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 2: government an argument, but you've refused to give them the 506 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 2: hard evidence. 507 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 4: Most offense lawyers will take that trade off. 508 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: He's got a checker driving history. Could that be a 509 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: factor in this case? 510 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 4: Certainly? Certainly to look at his dragon history. 511 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 2: Obviously the past TUI, even though it was negotiated down. 512 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 2: But yes, his dragon history will come into play here 513 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 2: when it comes time to you know, what might ultimately 514 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: be offered to him and what his ultimate sentence could be. 515 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: He's still flying high. I for last night's Michigan National 516 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: title victory. Attorney Stewart W.

I gotta 538 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: be honest with you. For the most part, I loved 539 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: how that game was played, because if you like games 540 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: where the officials let him play, the officials let him play. 541 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: Last night, Yukon's game plan was executed really, really well. 542 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: They wanted to make it a low possession game. We 543 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday. In their tournament run, they played 544 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: against teams that play at a slow pace. Michigan does 545 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: not twenty second an adjusted pace. Yukon slowed them down. 546 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: There were a handful of times we're using some full 547 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: core pressure. Michigan tried to speed the game up, and 548 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: they did it without a lot of success. Connecticut was 549 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: going to have to make that game ugly. They just 550 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: missed a lot of threes in the second half, and 551 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: Michigan was complicit in keeping Connecticut closed because they also 552 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: took a lot of bad shots. It was an ugly 553 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: shooting game. It was also a game where it never 554 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: really felt like Yukon was going to be able to 555 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: get over the hump, Michigan wins the national title. The 556 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: final four honestly was a little bit of a letdown 557 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: relative to the quality of play for most of the tournament. 558 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: I still think it was a terrific tournament, and I 559 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: know we spent some time, you know, listening to people 560 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: complain about lack of upsets, that sort of thing. College 561 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: basketball was on fire this year. Many have looked at 562 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: Michigan with Dusty main in a second year and they go, well, look, 563 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: see see the days of four and five year plans 564 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: are over. Good now. I'm the first to admit that 565 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: one of the really fun things about being a fan 566 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: of a specific college basketball program was watching players develop. 567 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: You know, I can use the example of Kenyon Martin. 568 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: Kenyon Martin's freshman year. I remember it well. I was 569 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: a college student. I called the Bob Huggins Show as 570 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: a college student to ask about Kenyan Martin, when's he 571 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: gonna play? Why can he play? And then when he 572 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: put him in the game, which didn't happen all that often, 573 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: the dude couldn't play. By his second year, he was 574 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: very good defensively, Conference USAD Defensive Player of the Year. 575 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: You still couldn't throw him the ball. His junior year, 576 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: he started to have some some hef to his offensive 577 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: game and he was an elite defensive player in his 578 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: senior year. Is the best player in the sport Watching 579 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: evolution like that, watching it with Gary Clark. Gary Clark 580 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: is one of my three all time favorite UC players 581 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: and a guy who by the end of his fourth season, 582 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: you just feel like you had a fan relationship with 583 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: right and you just you look at those kids differently 584 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: than you do these one or two year guys. But 585 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: we're not doing four or five year plans anymore. By 586 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: the way, you know what fans don't want four or 587 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: five year plans. We as people, certainly we as sports 588 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: fans have never been less patient. I think it's awesome 589 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: where in an era where you can get things turned 590 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,479 Speaker 1: around very very quickly. Jared Calhoun, by the way, they 591 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: just announced the composition of his staff, and we'll have 592 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: that for you in the next hour. Jared Calhoun, We'll 593 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: see who he adds to the team. My assumption all along, 594 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: and maybe it's incorrect, has been he's gonna have a 595 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: brand new team with no one from last year. We'll 596 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: see if that ends up being the case. But now 597 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: we expect the quick turnaround year one, year two, which 598 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: is what we have wanted all along. Four or five 599 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: year plans really what fan wants that uh uh, give 600 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: me the one or two year turnaround. You could argue 601 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: it's never been easier to have it, So we'll see. 602 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: I I you know it's it's impossible to have an 603 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: NCAA tournament outcome without somebody you know, picking apart. How well, 604 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: see the Michigan just goes to show the quick fix works. Cool, great, 605 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: make it work here, make it work at Xavier, make 606 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: it work at Kentucky, make it work at you see. 607 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: A four or five year plan is not something we 608 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: want anymore. You mention in any sport now and why 609 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: it's going to be about a five year plan? Like bro, 610 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: it ain't nineteen eighty two. Man, let's go. I think 611 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 1: the cool thing about college basketball now and nobody is 612 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,439 Speaker 1: for there being no rules, but it has never been 613 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: more doable to get something turned around quickly. Michigan did it. 614 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: Maybe did it to extreme degrees, but they did it. 615 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 1: Good for them.
