I 29 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: was visualizing you running towards the bailey, you climb into 30 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: the stands Saturday, you're celebrating with him, and it just 31 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: felt like a culdred of emotions for you, of beating 32 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: a rival, of advancing in the playoffs, of coming back 33 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: from all those injuries, having missed two years ago. In 34 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: that matchup against Columbus, there had to be a lot 35 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: flowing through you at that moment. 36 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 4: One hundred percent you nailed it. I mean there was, 37 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 4: you know, several different things going through my head. One 38 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 4: beginning of the year, I would have never imagined being 39 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 4: able to play this many games this year, then being 40 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 4: able to be in the playoffs and starting you know, 41 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 4: we didn't make we didn't make it past the first 42 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 4: round last year, and two years ago we lost the Columbus. 43 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 4: So being a part of this, all of it. Getting 44 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 4: to celebrate with the fans was just an awesome night. 45 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: You used words like grit and response after the match. 46 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: You guys are down one to nothing second half. Talk 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: to me about the grit and response, and I think 48 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: you alluded to this being a club that is built 49 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: for moments like that. 50 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it would have been easy for us 51 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 4: to put our heads down when the goal happened. But 52 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 4: after it happened, I kind of looked at that everyone 53 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 4: and was. 54 00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: Like, look, we can do this. 55 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: We're we'd we'd been playing well all night and obviously 56 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 4: it was one play which I believe was off side, 57 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 4: but they didn't call it. And for me, we you know, together, 58 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 4: we we decided to you know, keep fighting, keep battling, 59 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 4: and within four minutes we got to go back. 60 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 2: Brenner scores in the eighty six minute you go up. 61 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: And then nine minutes of I'll never forget Tommy, Tommy 62 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: g on the on the radio call saying and it's official. 63 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 2: Nine minutes of stopping time, And I'm thinking nine minutes 64 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: and I swear my watch stopped. And it just proceeded 65 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: to drag and drag and drag what's it like in 66 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: your mind in real time working with nine minutes of 67 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: stoppage time? 68 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you want to when the board goes up, 69 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 4: especially when you're winning, you want the number to be low. 70 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 4: Nine minutes was nine minutes was a lot. But again 71 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 4: I said that this club was built for this because 72 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 4: we had been in so many one zero games all 73 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 4: year and had been able to close them out. And 74 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 4: I think, you know, even though was an onslot, we 75 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 4: had a Vander who's usually attacking it up in the 76 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 4: up in the field, he's all the way in the 77 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 4: back line defending with us their goalkeeper of that half field. 78 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 4: We were prepared to like take whatever on for as 79 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 4: long as we needed to to get the win. 80 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: Brenner with the brace the game winner, and what we 81 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: talk about a club being built for the moment, he 82 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: seems to live for moments like that. How big has 83 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: he been for this club this year? 84 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 4: Oh, he's been so important since he's came in, just 85 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 4: his energy, his connection with the Vander and Kevin up there. 86 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 4: He you know, when he left, he kind of left 87 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 4: on bad terms and came back a different player who 88 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 4: I feel like has appreciated what the club has to offer, 89 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 4: and you know his energy and his creativity, the type 90 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 4: of player he is helps everyone be great. 91 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,239 Speaker 2: There's always great satisfaction and eliminating a rival. I would 92 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: think part of Pat's message since is the kind of 93 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 2: the cloche. There's bigger fish to fry here. 94 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 4: Absolutely, absolutely, it's you enjoy your moments, enjoy your couple 95 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 4: of days of reading the news and people reaching out 96 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 4: to you and whatnot, and then it's time to move 97 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: on to the next one. Because the goal wasn't to 98 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 4: just beat Columbus in the playoffs, it was to win 99 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 4: MLS Cup. 100 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: Two weeks ago, you're named MLS Comeback Player of the Year, 101 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 2: voted on by the MLS club, technical staff, the media, 102 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: the players. It's had some time to sink in. You'll 103 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: probably appreciate it more in the off season when you're 104 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: not working on games. But what does it mean in 105 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: the moment knowing you're the MLS Comeback Player the Year 106 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 2: voted on by peers. 107 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: Yeah? 108 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 4: I mean for me, I feel like this is an 109 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: award that is a reflection of all the people that 110 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: are around me. You know, I couldn't have done it 111 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 4: without my wife and my kids, and the staff, the 112 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 4: medical staff, and you know, all the fans that were 113 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 4: cheering me on when I got hurt, They're like, we're 114 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 4: going to see you come back. I think there's a 115 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 4: reflection of all the people that were around me pushing 116 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 4: me to continue on, to believe in me, and it's 117 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 4: it was just so cool because at the beginning of 118 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 4: the year I really didn't think I was I told Mary, 119 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 4: I would have been happy to be subbed in for 120 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 4: like ten minutes for one game and be like, yeah, 121 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 4: that was it. 122 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: What's it like? 123 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: And I've always I've talked with athletes over the years 124 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: who when they're going through the injury process and the 125 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: rehab process, just the sense of being alone or detached 126 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 2: from teammates for so many moments where it's just you 127 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 2: and the grind. What's it? How do you get through 128 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 2: stuff like that? 129 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: Yeah? 130 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 4: For me, it feels like, you know, playing soccer isn't 131 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 4: the goal you know every day, If you just like 132 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 4: put that in front of you, like I'm going to 133 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 4: be back to who I was before the injury, and 134 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 4: you think about that all the time, I think it 135 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 4: puts this unnecessary pressure on yourself. For me, it was 136 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 4: like making these like mini goals every day to like 137 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 4: get a little bit better or see a little bit 138 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 4: of improvement here or there, or maybe it takes a 139 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 4: couple of days to see the improvement. And these little 140 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 4: like milestones, these little markers. I feel like you take 141 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 4: every day, one one thing at a time, and that 142 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 4: helps you get to your end result. 143 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: I had your general manager, Chris Albright on the show 144 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: about ten days or so ago and and ask him 145 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 2: about you and winning the award and your comeback.

We were talking 339 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 2: about Nick Haglan winning MLS Comeback Player of the Year 340 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 2: and how that became a conversation at lunch today about 341 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 2: the greatest injury comebacks by athletes in Cincinnati sports history. 342 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: And I would find it hard, if not impossible, to 343 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 2: find somebody who tops Jose Rio, who missed five seasons, 344 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 2: five major league seasons, and after three Tommy John surgeries 345 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 2: and five total elbow surgeries, came back at the age 346 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 2: of thirty seven, and in that two thousand and one season, 347 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 2: he pitched thirteen games in relief, had an urn run 348 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 2: average of two thirteen, and because he pitched so well, 349 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 2: he decided he couldn't walk away from the game. The 350 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: original thought was, I just want to make it back 351 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: proven to myself I can pitch well. He came back 352 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: and proved he could pitch, and then thought, well, maybe 353 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 2: I can keep doing it. So he went to spring 354 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 2: training the following year, made the roster, and in April 355 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 2: of two thousand and two, he took the mound as 356 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 2: a starter. Never forget the night at Synergy. He had 357 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 2: gone seven years between major league starts and wins, seven years. 358 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 2: He beat the Cubs five innings, no earned runs. 359 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 4: No. 360 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 2: Actually, that game, I'm thinking about it. That game was 361 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 2: at or was it at Wrigley Now I'm trying to 362 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: I think it was at home because I remember him, 363 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 2: you know, maybe he was tipping his cap in his 364 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 2: initial return. I think the start was at regularly if 365 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 2: I remember, he made thirty one appearances that year in 366 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: two thousand and two and then called it a career. 367 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 3: After that, you knew also, I had put in the conversation. 368 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,239 Speaker 2: He came up at lunch today and I can make 369 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: strong support for maybe pushing him higher. I don't even 370 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 2: know third does justice to what he went through. Tim 371 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: Krumrae broke his tibia and fhibula on the seventh snap 372 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 2: of the Super Bowl. They then inserted a fifteen inch 373 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: steel rod into his leg to stabilize. Less than three 374 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 2: months later, he was ready for the opener and played 375 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 2: every game that season. Fifteen inch steel rod in the 376 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 2: leg played six more years, total of one hundred and 377 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: eighty eight consecutive games played in with the Bengals. You'd 378 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: have to put King Griffey Junior on that list. I 379 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 2: mean what and for You could pick a variety of injuries. 380 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 2: I think front and center. First and foremost would be 381 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: two thousand and four spring training. He's rounding third and 382 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: he tears the hamstring off, the bone, off the bone, 383 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: and Dot Krem had to reattach it and he was 384 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 2: on that little wheelie, one knee up on the pad 385 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: and wheeling himself around in his recovery. Came back the 386 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 2: next year, hit three to ZHO one with thirty five 387 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: homers ninety two ribis and got MVP votes. 388 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 3: The next season. 389 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 2: I'd put Eric Davis in the conversation one going back 390 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 2: to the World Series nineteen ninety the lacerated kidney comes 391 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 2: back from that, had a really tough time for the 392 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: next two He played the next year, appeared in eighty 393 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 2: nine games. I think it was that maybe seventy. The 394 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 2: next year it was rough and then of all things 395 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 2: went through it again, battled colon cancer. Missed the ninety 396 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 2: five season, beat that came back, hit twenty three homers, 397 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: stole twenty six bases, and was comeback Player of the Year. 398 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: I'd put Johnny Bench on this list. In nineteen seventy two, 399 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: Johnny ben She was twenty four years old. He just 400 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 2: won his second MVP at the age of twenty four. 401 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: He'd already won his second MVP seventy and seventy two, 402 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: and in that offseason had surgery after it was discovered 403 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: in a routine team physical that he had a spot 404 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 2: on his right lung. Turned out to be non cancerous, 405 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 2: but they had to remove it. Had surgery after that 406 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: seventy two season, after winning the MVP, and it was 407 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: at the time an experimental procedure and it involved like 408 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: cutting muscles and nerves and bone. And he has always 409 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: said he wondered if he'd ever play again, and has 410 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 2: always thought it changed his career. Still went on to 411 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 2: be a Hall of Fame catcher, but now he played 412 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 2: after all that that surgery. He played at one hundred 413 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 2: and fifty two games the next season. I had looked 414 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: that up in double check it. Today, I would put 415 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 2: tj in Tone on this list. One, two, three surgeries, 416 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 2: Tommy John surgeries. 417 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 3: Who makes it back after a second. 418 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 2: He made it back, pitched then tore it again, and 419 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: he was rehabbing last season, pitched at a ball double 420 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: A and triple A with the dream and the goal 421 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 2: being to get back to the major leagues. I put 422 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 2: Eralda's Chapman on that list. Roaldas Chapman came back from 423 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: a line drive off his face. I will never forget 424 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 2: listening to that spring training broadcast. It was against the 425 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: Kansas City Royals, and Salvador Perez was at the plate 426 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 2: and Eroldis Chapman threw a ninety nine mile an hour 427 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: pitch that Salvodor Perez absolutely crushed a liner right back 428 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 2: up the box and it hit Eroaldas Chapman above the 429 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: left eye. Fractured the orbital bone. Concussion. Game was called 430 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: happened in the sixth inning and the sound even through 431 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 2: the radio. In Murdy's reaction to it, I will never 432 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 2: forget they called the game. Titanium plate inserted above his 433 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: left eye, made it back to pitch in May of 434 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 2: that year, and still amazingly going strong at thirty seven. 435 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 2: You know, he made sixty seven appearances last year and 436 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 2: had an earned run average of one seventeen. Still fired, 437 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 2: the missile still launching at age thirty seven. I put 438 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 2: Carson Palmer on this list of great injury comebacks two 439 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 2: thousand and five Playoffs, his first pass of the day, 440 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: Chris Henry up the sideline and we know that the 441 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 2: knee and what was shredded, just shredded. He was twenty 442 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 2: six at the time. It signed a nine year, one 443 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 2: hundred and eighteen million dollars deal. I'll never forget him 444 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 2: being on the cover of one of the coolest sports 445 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 2: illustrated covers. In the rehab pool, the shot of him underwater, 446 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 2: his head above the water, the rest of his body, 447 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 2: the clear shot through the water of him rehabbing came 448 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 2: back through for four thousand yards. The next season, twenty 449 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 2: eight touchdowns and made the Pro Bowl, and you can't 450 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: leave Joe Burrow off the list for goodness sakes. Joe 451 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 2: Burrow's wrist injury led to a surgery that had never 452 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 2: been done on a quarterback and came back last season 453 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 2: and did what he did. Some of the names that 454 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 2: came up today on our conversation on the heels of 455 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: Nick Aglin being named MLS Comeback Player of the Year 456 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 2: for some of the great injury comebacks in Cincinnati sports history. 457 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor spoke earlier today in advance of Bengals and 458 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 2: Steelers on Wednesday. We'll talk plenty about it tomorrow night 459 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 2: on the Roundtable Show. A couple of things Zach said 460 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: today caught my ear maybe of interest to you. Zach 461 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: was asked about Joe Burrow on Monday throwing, and this 462 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 2: was prior to today's practice. Here's Zach assessing what he saw 463 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 2: from Joe burrowing. 464 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 6: Joe Burrow on Monday really sharp. You know, I had 465 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 6: not watched him throw. He'd been doing that with the trainer, 466 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 6: So seeing him live on Monday get a chance to 467 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 6: do that, I was I'm not gonna say I'm impressed 468 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 6: because That's that's how it always looks. But he was 469 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,479 Speaker 6: really sharp. Didn't look like he had been coming off 470 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 6: an injury. I mean, did how much how much could 471 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 6: you tell? No, not from a Thrones perspective, I mean 472 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 6: everything was in the pocket. There wasn't It wasn't eleven 473 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 6: on eleven, so he wasn't required to move. He did 474 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 6: normal movements through the ball nice and so for now, 475 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 6: that's just that's where we're at. You know, like I said, 476 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 6: we're not doing any eleven on eleven. We'll have a 477 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 6: really good progression plan for him as part of his 478 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 6: rehab and we'll go from there. You don't have an 479 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 6: idea of when you want to start eleven on eleven. 480 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 6: We'll just get through this week and then figure out 481 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 6: what next week holds. But we internally we got a 482 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 6: good plan in place. We'll just keep working through that. 483 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor earlier today talking about Joe Burrow and how 484 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: he looked in practice on Monday. Also, the question of 485 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 2: the young rookie linebackers came up today. They have traded 486 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 2: Logan Wilson. That clears fully clear's playing time. It clears 487 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 2: room in the room for young voices to be heard 488 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 2: as developing leaders. Zach was asked what he hopes to 489 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 2: see now going forward out of both Barrett Carter and 490 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 2: Dimitri's Night Junior, here is the coach. 491 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 6: Keep gaining experience from the reps they're getting. I don't 492 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 6: think that the trade has anything to do with that. 493 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 6: You know their position and where they're at. Just keep learning. 494 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 6: They're going to make mistakes the times they're sol to 495 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 6: react to something. Let that be the one time it happens, 496 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 6: you know, and learn from that one, put it behind you, 497 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 6: and continue to grow. And I expect full those guys 498 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 6: continue to do that. 499 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: I know Barrett has talked about Warren so as Dimitrice, 500 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 2: what kind of impact leadership does. 501 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, he's been around a lot of winning teams. You know, 502 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 6: he's played countless NFC championship games. So I think he's 503 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 6: been a really good resource for that room as especially 504 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 6: right now, the veteran in the room, him and Joe 505 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 6: Giles Harris have got great experience. They've done a great 506 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 6: job mentoring those guys, doing a good job with the 507 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 6: roles that they're playing, and so I'm glad to have one. 508 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 6: I think he's done an excellent job just helping outside 509 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 6: of the coaches develop those those young linebackers that we have. 510 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor on the back end of that talking about 511 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 2: Orrin Burks, the freeg of linebacker formerly of the Super 512 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 2: Bowl winning Eagles, and final thought from what Zach said 513 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 2: today of note, you'll hear more from Dan Horde in 514 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 2: a matter of minutes. At eight o'clock on the Scott 515 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 2: Centerfield Show, Dan asked Zach about the state of the 516 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: offensive line and if he believes the old line is 517 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 2: trending in the right direction. 518 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 3: Here's the coach. 519 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 6: I think that they're trending out. You know, if has 520 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 6: this ability at center, in the two tackle spots, and 521 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 6: then you get the two young guards that are ascending 522 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 6: and learning a lot really fast. This is a huge 523 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 6: challenge for them. You know, this game in a lot 524 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 6: of ways, goes as they go. It's a tremendous front 525 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 6: that pittsfordh has it a lot of times comes down 526 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 6: to the trenches in this one and especially on the road. 527 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 6: Silent cadence, the advantages that that creates for them, and 528 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 6: so we have to do a great job. They need 529 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 6: to continue to trend upwards in a game like this. 530 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor earlier today. I just thought of while that 531 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 2: SoundBite was being played. Two other candidates for our list 532 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 2: of the greatest injury comeback by Cincinnati athletes Ron Gant. 533 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: Ron Gant, he tore up his leg knee and broke 534 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 2: his leg in an ATV accident in the ninety four offseason. 535 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 2: With the ninety three offseason, I guess with the Atlanta 536 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 2: Braves they released him. Jim Bowden swooped in and signed 537 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: him and said, I'm gonna rehab you. 538 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 3: I'm gonna get you up to speed. 539 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pay you a salary to do that, and 540 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: then i want you ready for ninety five. And Gant 541 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 2: did that and in ninety five, hit twenty nine homers 542 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 2: drove in eighty eight, was an All Star and got 543 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 2: MVP votes. And one other I thought of Rodney Oaster. 544 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 2: That eighty seven season, Ron Oaster was hitting a taken 545 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: out on a slide by Mioky Wilson. The Mets tore 546 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 2: his left ACL, had to have total knee reconstruction, and 547 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 2: made it back the next season to play in fifty 548 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 2: four games. Hit two eighty in fact, would win the 549 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: Hutch Award for Overcoming adversity after that season and played 550 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 2: a total of three seasons after the injury, including hitting 551 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: two ninety nine on that Wire to wire team. All right, 552 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 2: we got so down the stretch, will go finish it 553 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 2: off with a thought on the reds to check on 554 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 2: the scoreboard, and a couple of notes on this date 555 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 2: RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet seven hundred WLW. 556 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: I'm on X Atlance Bacalister.

A couple of things, Oh, 561 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 3: a couple of scores. Halftime. 562 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: NKU has crept within one of East Tennessee State on 563 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: the road tonight thirty three thirty two, big comeback Norseville 564 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 2: and a hole one point. I saw they were down 565 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 2: fifteen to two to start. They trail by one at 566 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 2: the break and in Bloomington at halftime. Hoosiers have dropped 567 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 2: fifty one on Milwaukee at the twenty minute mark, leading 568 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 2: fifty one thirty nine, fifty one to thirty nine over Milwaukee. 569 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 2: Couple of notes from this date in sports history. This date, 570 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: nighte teen eight, Reds become the first major league team 571 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: to play in Cuba, defeating a team in Havana. The 572 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: month long postseason barnstorming trip, organized and managed by business 573 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 2: manager Frank Bancroft, included a dozen games in Cuba. Nineteen 574 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 2: sixty four, sad note on this date, Reds manager Fred 575 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 2: Hutchinson died of cancer at the age of forty five. 576 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 2: The Reds immediately retired Hutchinson's number one, becoming the first 577 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 2: person so honored by the club. He managed the Reds 578 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 2: from nineteen fifty nine through sixty four, winning the sixty 579 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 2: one pennant. He also won ninety five games as a 580 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: pitcher for the Tigers in his career. And on this date, 581 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 2: nineteen air eighty two, Aaron Pryor scores a fourteenth round 582 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 2: knockout of Alexis Arguayo in the Orange Bowl to retain 583 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: his WBA super lightweight boxing title for the first of 584 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: two meetings between the Hall of famers, dubbed the Fight 585 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 2: of the Decade. This date, nineteen eighty two. By the way, 586 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 2: talk more Reds on Friday Night. Perhaps if you're not 587 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 2: reading Charlie Goldsmith Charlie's chalkboard. It is free if you 588 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 2: subscribe to it on substack, you get an email to 589 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 2: you every day. He's at the GM meetings with some 590 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 2: excellent stuff and talked with Nick Crawl about the three 591 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 2: objectives right now. Their main objectives to rebuild the bullpen. 592 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 2: They're going to fill a couple spots, the closer role 593 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: to be determined, need a left handed specialist as well. 594 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 2: How they Nick said he'd like to get themselves better 595 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 2: offensively and defensively. Key Brian Hayes helped that by moving 596 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 2: to third and Nova Marte in the outfield is going 597 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 2: to help that. And he said we're going to have 598 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: to figure out how to replace the production of Austin 599 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 2: Hayes and alluded to the fact of them along with 600 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 2: Brad Metterer talking with Charlie Goldsmith. Maybe moving Spencer Steer 601 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 2: back to the outfield or at least moving him around 602 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 2: and off of first base. Remember he was a finalist 603 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 2: for the gold Glove at first base. But where is 604 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 2: sal Stewart gonna play. He's not going to play third base, 605 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 2: and he's clearly not going to play second base, so 606 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 2: they have played him there in the month of September 607 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 2: when he was up. So it looks like south Stewart's 608 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 2: time is going to be as a first basement or 609 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 2: as a DH which means making Spencer Steer more mobile 610 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 2: in terms of moving around the infield. In the lineup 611 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 2: that a couple of the notes from the GM meetings. 612 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 2: Charlie Goldsmith Charlie's Chuckboard. I wish I had more time 613 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 2: an hour not enough. Thanks for hanging out though for 614 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 2: the hour.
