18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: what's going on?

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: Well, you kind of stepped on my April Fool's joke

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: there that I am now the full time producer of

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: since the three sixty.

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: But here's my concern. Historically, this is just not a

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: good day for me. Yeah, historically I am a very

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: Some would call it gullible.

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: I call it trustworthy. It's a good word for it.

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: When there's a lot of things that I see or

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: come across, I give the benefit of the doubt and

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: I believe it.

29
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: I do my best to remain vigilant on this day.

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: I always know when it's coming up, so I do

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: my best. I will say this though, f C Cincinnati

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: tweeted out that they were changing their colors to teal,

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: and there was a brief second there where I was like,

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: whoa yeah, and then that no no, because then they

35
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: dropped the twelve ton kickcat thing at the bottom of

36
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: the release and I was like, Okay, that's not real.

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I KitKat thing, very real, great story I am.

38
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: I'm nervous about today, So on a day like today,

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: I like to just stick to the fat yes, and

40
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: I don't venture far off speculation of those facts. No,

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: and if something is reported, I'm probably not gonna break

42
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: that report. I'm gonna use that maybe in the next

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: segment once I confirm it confirm the validity of said reports.

44
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: That's responsible on your part.

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: Here's what I do know today, fresh off his appearance

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: on the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelsey,

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: the new head coach of the University of Cincinnati men's

48
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: basketball program, Jared Calhoun, will join us today at two o'clock.

49
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: That is not an April fool's joke.

50
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: No, it's not striking. While the Iron's hot.

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: Coach Calhoun will join us at two o'clock today. Your

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: talkbacks will be played in our number two and we

53
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: will recap what I thought at times last night was

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: an early April fool's joke. Red's eight to three loss

55
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now we will spend most of

56
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: our time in our number one on the Reds because

57
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: that leads us up to a twelve to forty first

58
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: pitch this afternoon. Now that could be in jeopardy a

59
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: little bit. Right now, looks like there's there could be

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: some thunderstorms in the area around one point fifteen or

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: one thirty, so there's a chance for showers and storms,

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: isolated severe storms beginning this afternoon. That is significant because

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: at twelve forty Andrew Abbott takes the mound against the

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates, looking to win a series and looking to

65
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: do so, drew against a guy and Paul Skens, who

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: has had a mountain of success against the Reds, but

67
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: only lasted two thirds of an inning thanks to O'Neil

68
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: Cruz in their opening day loss to the Mets.

69
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: I think I said this to you at our opening

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: day show at Smoke Justice, after we saw that Skeins

71
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: left after two thirds of an inning. That's not good

72
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: for the Reds. No, because he's gonna come out focused.

73
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: Lamce mckowister had these stats on Skeens against the Reds

74
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: in five starts in twenty nine innings, Paul Skiings is

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: four and oh with a point three to one ERA.

76
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: He's walked two batters, he struck out forty. Red hitters

77
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: are twenty one for one oh four against him, sixteen singles,

78
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: five doubles, no homers. Okay, so you know, well, some

79
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: would say then they're due, They're due. And the other

80
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: thing I'll say about this is it is not just

81
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: the Reds who have those kind of numbers against Paul Skiings.

82
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: The thing that's mind boggling to me is the twenty

83
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: nine innings, forty strikeouts to just two walks. Yeah, it's

84
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: twenty to one walk strikeout ratio.

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 3: This is one of those days where you really need

86
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 3: Abbott to be on top of his game as well.

87
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: You know, even if at zero zero after skiings the parts,

88
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: then you're in I think you're in a pretty good

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: position to win the game.

90
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you almost knew right after the opening day

91
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: appearance that it was like, all right, circle April first,

92
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: because here comes comes the seas.

93
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: Within sixty four or sixty seven, e r whatever, yep,

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: coming into the ball game today.

95
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: Can't wait for that, especially after what we saw from

96
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: this team last night. Well, recap last night's loss as

97
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: we get back in segment number two today, we'll get

98
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: you all up to speed on first pitch again, scheduled

99
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: to happen this afternoon at twelve forty. We'll dive into

100
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: all of that. Also, some news and some fallout from

101
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: what happened to the end of last week. Tiger Woods

102
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,119
Speaker 2: is stepping away for a period of time to seek

103
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: treatment and focus on his health. In a statement released yesterday,

104
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: Tiger Wood said, quote, I know and understand the seriousness

105
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: of the situation. I find myself in stepping away for

106
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: a period of time to seek treatment and focus on

107
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: my health. This is necessary in order for me to

108
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: prioritize my well being and work towards a lasting recovery.

109
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: He goes on to say, I'm committed to taking time

110
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focus place,

111
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: both personally and professionally. Appreciate your understanding and support, and

112
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: ask for privacy for my family, loved ones, and myself.

113
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: He also came out Drew and said that he entered

114
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: a plea of not guilty to the charges of a

115
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: misdemeanor duy with property damage and refusal to submit a

116
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: lawful test according to those court documents. So this is

117
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: obviously something to keep an eye on. I mentioned this

118
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: last week when it happened. Tiger I believe it was

119
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: last Tuesday, appeared back in the TGL Yes and watching

120
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: that anytime it was Tiger, I'm going to watch. Just

121
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: watching Tiger in a controlled environment where you're hitting the

122
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: balls against a screen and walking to a putting green.

123
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: It looked like he was in pain doing that.

124
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he did not look you know, in great,

125
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: in great form, in great just walking well, looks rough.

126
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 3: Shoot in the pre before the golfing even started, he

127
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: was doing an interview with Scott Van Pelt on Sports Center,

128
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 3: and he was like, you'd have thought he just ran

129
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 3: a marathon. Yep, not just you know, hit some you know,

130
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: hit some shots into the screen and just some chipping

131
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: and putting. It looked like he was laboring hard, like

132
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: he ran a marathon before that. He was sweating so much.

133
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: I made the comment to myself when I was watching it,

134
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: I was like, Wow, that is striking. And then, you know,

135
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: I don't think it's you know, a coincidence that you know,

136
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: a couple of days after that, you know, he's you know,

137
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: this whole situation happens and it stinks, especially with the Masters, right,

138
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: and he was really trying to ramp up for that,

139
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: So I'm sure that played a part in it too.

140
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: And you know, it's such a weird thing to grapple

141
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: with because this is not the first time this has happened. Yeah,

142
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: the fourth time this has happened.

143
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: Now.

144
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: He had this very severe car accident in twenty twenty

145
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: one that could have amputated his leg. He could have

146
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: died like that. That's a real, a real thing, and

147
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: you would think something like that happening, would you know,

148
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: kind of scare him straight. And it's it's really disappointing

149
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: to see it happen again. And I battle with you know,

150
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: Tiger the golfer is awesome. He's he's magnetic, he's wonderful

151
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: to watch. He you know, when he plays golf, it

152
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if it's Augusta National or you know, Kenwood

153
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: Country Club, people are gonna watch. Yep. And you wrestle

154
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: with Tiger the golfer. And then Tiger the person who

155
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: has made mistakes and you know, multiple times, and has

156
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: put you know, he's putting people's lives in danger.

157
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing too. Like I've I've been through surgeries.

158
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: I've been out of surgeries where you know, a way

159
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: for me to play the sport I was playing, you

160
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: had to take a painkiller, you had to take some

161
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: type of injection. So I don't I don't begin to

162
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: imagine what Tiger's body feels like on a day to

163
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: day basis, no doubt.

164
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: And you know, addiction is a very very just fickle thing.

165
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: Like just get a driver, yeah right, I just don't

166
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: get it. Yeah, especially after twenty twenty one get a driver.

167
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: And I think with his thing with that is like

168
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: he values his privacy. But I'm like, yeah, man, but

169
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 3: like when you do these sorts of things, you kind

170
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 3: of lose who's you know, that leeway and yeah, just

171
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: like you've you've got the funds for it, I know,

172
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: two hundred fifty thous five hundred thousand a year just

173
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: to have somebody on standby twenty four to seven wherever

174
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: you want to go. And so, you know, it's a bummer.

175
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: He obviously, you know, the PGA Tours released a statement now.

176
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: Augusta National has released a statement now saying he will

177
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: not be there next week. So or it's a yeah,

178
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: two weeks. It's it's a bummer. It really is a bummer.

179
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: You just hope he gets better, yes, for exactly.

180
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: For I hope he gets you know, I hope he

181
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 3: checks himself into, you know, into some facility. I hope

182
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 3: he gets treating, the right treatment. I hope he gets

183
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: himself right. And I hope, you know, if if we

184
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: never see him play competitive golf again, like that's okay,

185
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: because I still think he's going to be a very

186
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: very important figurehead for the you know, for the sport

187
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: moving forward, because he is on the PGA Tours Competition

188
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: Committee with the new PGA Tour CEO, Brian Rolapp, and

189
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: they are making a lot of changes and I think

190
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: Tiger is overseeing a lot of those changes. So despite

191
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: the fact that he's not going to be, you know,

192
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: a player very often anymore. And you know, who's to say.

193
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: I won't put anything past Tiger, but he still will

194
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: remain a very very important figurehead. And you know, in

195
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: a sport that I love to watch and follow, and

196
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 3: that's golf.

197
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: Let me tell you someone that's not going to remain

198
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: a figurehead in a sport.

199
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 3: C B. Buckner tough. I'll tell you what.

200
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: There's just times in life where you feel like, man,

201
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: this new age is just not it's not long for.

202
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 3: A guy like C. B.

203
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: Buckner. It's not CB as a umpire. So he's already

204
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: had twenty six missed strike calls in his first umpire

205
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: out in this year. Last night in the Rays Milwaukee

206
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: Brewers game, he claimed that a base runner missed first

207
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: base and you could not have hit the base more

208
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: squarely in the middle than what the runner did. It

209
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: was at a point where the Rays and and Brewers

210
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: manager were just looking at each other laughing. Yeah, that's

211
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: how bad it was. Unfortunately, I don't think this new

212
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: age of baseball is going to have Cebe Buckner sticking

213
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: around much longer.

214
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, it's one thing to make, you know,

215
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 3: headway and headlines when you're you're calling balls and strikes

216
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: behind the plate, when you're making news and headlines. Being

217
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: the first base umpire not good. That's when it's you're

218
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 3: really really running into some issues. And there is an

219
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: angle that came out that where he's like he's not

220
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: even looking at the at the a when it happens.

221
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think the internal review for Cebe Buckner's

222
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 3: umpiring performance in the early part of the season is

223
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 3: not going to be pretty.

224
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 2: No tell you what was pretty. How about last night?

225
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: Luca don Jik goes for forty two and twelve the

226
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: Lakers beat the Calves one twenty seven to one thirteen.

227
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: It prompted a statistic at the end of March that

228
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: is pretty impressive for both the Lakers and Luca. Luca

229
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: finishes the month of March with six hundred points. He

230
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: joins Michael Jordan in nineteen eighty seven, as the only

231
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: player to do so in March and one of only

232
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: ten players to score six hundred points in any month

233
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: in NBA history, and to go along with it, the

234
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: Lakers in the month of March went fifteen and two.

235
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick, the Lakers head coach, that I think Lucas

236
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: had as good of a month as anyone that I

237
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 2: can remember in the modern NBA, at least since I've

238
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: been a part of. And oddly enough, it feels like

239
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: not a ton of people are talking about Luca in

240
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 2: the MVP category, which I think is well, is incredible.

241
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: Well, and looking at the updated odds right now, he's

242
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: still plus fifteen hundreds incredible. So Shay giljis, Alexander minus

243
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: three to fifty, Victor Weben Yama plus two fifty, and

244
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: Luca a plus fifteen hundred, and it is pretty remarkable.

245
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: I Mean, this is a guy you just thought when

246
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: he came into the league, you're gonna you'd go man.

247
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: By year six or seven or eight, whatever he's in,

248
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: he's probably gonna have an mvper two yep. And this

249
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: year he is playing at that level and he is

250
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: kind of taking that step forward to being that that

251
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 3: top three guy that LA traded for, and you know Lebron,

252
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: you know he's Yeah, all this all the signs point

253
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: toward Lebron being out of l A after this season

254
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: and Luca getting handed the keys to the kingdom for good.

255
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: I think he already has them for the most part.

256
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: But so yeah, I watched a lot of that game

257
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 3: last night. I was here. I worked the Reds game

258
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: and did extra endings till midnight, so I was I

259
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 3: was watching that Calves and Lakers game, and yeah, man,

260
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: there wasn't much. The Calves aren't a there aren't. They

261
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: aren't a good defensive team to begin with. But man,

262
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 3: Luca just he took control of that game and Calves

263
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: never really had a shot at getting back into it.

264
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: Some other things we'll discuss today. Also one other last night,

265
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: Team USA men's soccer, they lost a international friendly to Portugal.

266
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: Portugal last night was was playing without Christiano Ronaldo, so

267
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: they also had Bernardo Silva was not playing as well,

268
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: which is insane, but for Team USA drop their second

269
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: straight match in a row, their eighth consecutive loss against

270
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: European competition, and star Christian Polisic has now gone eight

271
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: straight games for.

272
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: The US without a goal.

273
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: He also hasn't scored for his club team AC Milan

274
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: since December twenty eighth, so things not going all that

275
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: well for Team USA Soccer. They begin Group dplay at

276
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: the World Cup on June twelfth, so keep that in

277
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: mind for the men's soccer team. Other things that we'll

278

Speaker 2: run Shot Off. Pierce Johnson O'Neil cruz yesterday out of

311
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: the eight hole For The pittsburgh pirates went three, for

312
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: four three RBIs and two. Home runs As the pirates

313
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: rolled to an eight three victory Over The cincinnati reds.

314
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: Last Night the reds got behind early and were unable

315
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: to make up any of. The deficit, unfortunate news, not

316
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: news but an unfortunate Outing For, brandon williamson who by,

317
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: all accounts had had a great, spring training had a

318
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: lot of. People excited and it is just, one start

319
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: but it's also a player that didn't make a start

320
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: last year has not pitched In A Major league baseball

321
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: game in quite, some time which you could say the

322
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: same thing for rettla who pitched phenomenally in his first

323
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: outing of the year Against The Boston, red sox who

324
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: would perceive to be a much better offense Than The.

325
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh pirates williamson's final line four and, two thirds, six

326
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: hits six, earned runs two walks along. The way he

327
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: did give up three home runs, last night and really

328
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 2: you kind of look to the top of the second

329
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: inning When the pirates loaded. The bases he then forced a,

330
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: sacrifice fly and all of a sudden it was a one,

331
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: nothing deficit and, you, think man if he can get

332
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: out of the second inning with just giving, up one

333
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 2: you start to feel. Pretty good After that ryan O'Hearn

334
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: hit a three run, home run Followed by reynolds with

335
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: a solo, home run and the five to nothing deficit

336
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: too much For The cincinnati reds. To overcome, although drew

337
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: they had a chance in the third inning because, The

338
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: Starter bubba chandler last night For The, pittsburgh pirates he was.

339
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 2: Not on he didn't have all of. His stuff he

340
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: struggled with his command mightily in that game, last night

341
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: and that was on display in the bottom of The Third,

342
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: noelvee marte the seventh, hole hitter walked to start. The

343
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: Inning jose travino in the eight hole walks right. After

344
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 2: that so here you have a Pitcher And bubba chandler,

345
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: who clearly even with a five, run cushion cannot find the.

346
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: Strike zone, Next Batter Key, Brian hayes it's a semi

347
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: routine fly ball to. Left Center O'Neil cruz, misplays it

348
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: which isn't the first time he's misplayed a ball in

349
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: center field. This year, The ballfalls marte scores, from second

350
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you've got first. And second

351
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 2: the deficit is, now four and, your one two and

352
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: three hitters are now. Coming up in the order with. No,

353
00:18:52,680 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: OUTS Unfortunately tj friedel the very next pitch decided to

354
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: try to lay down. A, Bunt again chandler had. Zero

355
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: control freedo decides, to bunt the bun is popped up in.

356
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: The Air jose travino on second base looks like he

357
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: had no idea the bunk was gonna happen because he

358
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: was delayed in. His reaction he ends up getting, doubled

359
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: up and right then and there you kind of, felt,

360
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 2: like man what an opportunity that now feels like. It's

361
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: wasted the worst part about it the Batter After freedom

362
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 2: matt McClain walks, as well So Clearly bubba chandler got.

363
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 2: Bailed out he walked McLean on four straight pitches and

364
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: Then gets elie De la cruz to ground out. The

365
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: second the end the inning five TO. One O neil

366
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: cruz makes it six to one, after that and different

367
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: things happen throughout the course of, the game Including the

368
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: reds going zero for ten with runners in. Scoring position

369
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: they left eleven men. On Base drug believe you, said

370
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 2: Earlier the reds are now second worst in baseball with

371
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: runners in. Scoring position and it's not like they're getting

372
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 2: runners in scoring Position For jose Travino And tyler stevenson

373
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: And Key, Brian hayes elie de La Cruz. Iohannio suarez

374
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 2: a lot of at bats this year with runners in

375
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: scoring position early. AND again i get that were only

376
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 2: five games, into this but a little alarming at the

377
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: struggles with runners in, scoring position and surely ALARMING. With

378
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: tj friedel in the third inning.

379
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 3: Last, night yeah going into his, At Bat bubba chandler

380
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: HAD thrown i believe that's my math is. Correct here

381
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: he had thrown twelve pitches in. The inning to, that

382
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: point he had thrown. Two strikes looked like two, called

383
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: strikes so that's not counting pitches being fouled off for

384
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: balls put. In Play and friedol goes up and decides

385
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: now's the time to try to get. HIMSELF going i

386
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: can't imagine he's trying to hit a sacrifice bunt there

387
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: because He's Got jose travigno on, second base who is

388
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 3: the slowest guy on. The, team yep he's gonna thought

389
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: he'd catch, HIM napping, i guess and get. Himself, going

390
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: well it turns into a. Disaster, zone really really Quickly Because,

391
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: bubba chandler who it was discussed on the radio, last

392
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 3: night how good of an athlete. He is he was

393
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: a quarterback in, high school could have played Quarterback. At

394
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 3: clemson he makes a, nice play he catches it on,

395
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 3: the fly, turns around, You know travino's got no chance

396
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 3: and it's a double play and kills. Your ally and like,

397
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 3: you said McLain was the next batter. To walk he

398
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: walked on. Four.

399
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: PITCHES yep I mean chandler walked six on the night,

400
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: Last night and it just didn't feel like a team

401
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: that understood the opposing pitcher was struggling finding the, strike

402
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 2: zone swinging it at pitches out of. The zone it just.

403
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 6: The.

404
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 2: At bats AND again i get that it's five, games

405
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 2: in but a lot of the struggles from last year

406
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: came at crucial. At bats you've got to be able

407
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: to understand in game when a pitcher is struggling and

408
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: make him pay. For it if you've got to take,

409
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 2: two strikes then take two strikes because a guy clearly

410
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: has lost his way on. The mound and far too

411
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: many times Last night chandler was either bailed out by

412
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: swinging it pitches out of the zone OR. By tj

413
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: friedl trying to lay down a bunt with first and second.

414
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 3: No, outs yeah and then you go to the bottom

415
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 3: of the fifth With the reds, Down five, Marte walks trevigno,

416
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: Flies out, Hayes walks. Friedel walks, you know you got

417
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: McLain And Da la cruz coming up with the bases

418
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: loaded for each of them struck out swinging for McClain on,

419
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: four Pitches and ellie swings at swings at ball four

420
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 3: on three to one count and swings at ball five to.

421
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: Strike out, you know it's once AGAIN and i, feel like,

422
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: YOU know I love Eli Day lacruz's he's an awesome player.

423
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: To watch i'm glad he plays For, the REDS but

424
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: i would love to know what his numbers look like

425
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 3: when he's coming up with the tying run or, you

426
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: know go ahead run on base in the fifth inning

427
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: or later with, Two outs like what his numbers look

428
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: like in, those SITUATIONS because i have a hard time

429
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 3: thinking of any situation there where he's.

430
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 2: Come, through yeah outside, of THAT and i know we'll

431
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 2: get to A little terry frank con at audio here

432
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: in a second from the post game their use last

433
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: night of THE abs i thought was their poorest of

434
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: the season. So Far south stewart at that point in

435
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 2: the count and in the game didn't seem like the

436
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: best use OF. The abs i'm not Sure What dame

437
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: myers was looking at when he challenged, his pitch which

438
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 2: seemed to be right down. The middle that might be

439
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 2: the worst one we see all. So, FAR yeah I.

440
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 3: THINK.

441
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 2: C b buckner would have called that, one, Correctly probably

442
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: and that's, a dangerous dangerous slope to start start.

443
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: Sliding down.

444
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: It was a rough game, last night and it's it's

445
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: compounded and it's magnified because of who you. Face, today

446
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: correct you're trying to. Win series we talk all the

447
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: time about start fast For The. Cincinnati reds you have

448
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: an opportunity to. Do that you got an opportunity to

449
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: win a series yesterday and put that behind. You instead

450
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: now you've got To Beat, paul schemes which they've, never

451
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: done in order to get a series win and finish a,

452
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 2: home stand a very winnable homestand with a winning record

453
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: instead of five hundred Going.

454
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 3: To, texas yeah and IT doesn't, i mean it doesn't

455

00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 7: wasn't commanded like like he can, and will and he

500
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,520

501
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 7: two outs and two strikes on O'Hearn and then obviously

502
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 7: that was the big hit of the of. The inning

503
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 7: but he was dodging a lot of trouble the whole,

504
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 7: time there, you know and again, their guy as hard

505

506
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 7: hit from jumping back in that game more.

507
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,399

00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 7: A Third guy burke saved saved us that that really

511
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 7: because we were up. Against it, you know, you're talking

512
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 7: you're looking at Maybe pitching Tony or pagane in a

513
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 7: game when you're data that doesn't. Help Anybody, so burke

514
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 7: you really helped save our bullpen.

515
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 10: Impressions a chance where and.

516
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 7: The, runners yeah you know it's easy, to, say well,

517
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 7: you know earn a walk or let him. Walk you

518
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 7: when you're throwing that hard with that much ride on,

519
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 7: the fastball you know they're trying to gear up to

520
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 7: get on top. Of it and he had, his difficulties

521
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 7: but we had tough time. Hitting him he just, you

522
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 7: know he had he lost his own a.

523
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,600

00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 7: to get. Doubled off but When when myer sees the

529
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,760

592
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: we've given the history of the Reds Verus. Paul Skins

593
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: paul skins historically is not a pitcher who's going to

594
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: give up multiple hits for, small, ball, right like very

595
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: rarely are you gonna just put together three singles back

596
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: to back to back and Score Runoff. Paul skins that's not.

597
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: GONNA happen i Was told suarez is the perfect player

598
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 2: who can just run into one and hit the ball

599
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,320

605
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,280

606
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 3: Managing The cincinnati, REDS today i don't hate the idea

607
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: Of putting low in the lineup today because he kind

608
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: of is one of those guys that can run. INTO

609
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,640

Speaker 2: make sense.

629
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 3: To me and, you wonder you wonder if, you Know,

630
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 3: if suarez, you know pick, something up maybe if he,

Speaker 3: yesterday which you know that hasn't been report. Or anything

633
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 3: so that's just all speculation on. My part but you

634
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 3: gotta you wonder if maybe something. Like that is he

635
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: under the Weather like i'm sure the question will be

636
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: Asked of francona after the Game why gino was given a,

637
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 3: day OFF and i would not be surprised if there

638
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 3: is a. REASON for i don't think this is just

639
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,640

640
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,360

00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: especially understanding the tall task you're. Up against give me

642
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 2: guys in the lineup that can change the game with

643
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: one swing of.

644
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,960

657
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: like a pivotal one Today At Great.

658
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 3: American ballpark. It does it feels a little more important

659
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: than your average sixth game of. The year but you

660
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,280

692
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,359

00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 2: a guy that you could slot in, every day you

694
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: feel better. About it he just not getting enough at

695
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 2: bats because of how they operate, their outfield?

696
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 3: Was it it's interesting?

697
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 13: To, me okay well here's my logic. About, that okay

698
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 13: You got benson in the, right field You got marte in,

699
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 13: right field and it looks like. A, platoon well how

700
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 13: about bringing this guy up and putting him out there

701
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 13: every day and let's find out what he is because

702
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 13: you already Know what. Benson is you kind of got

703
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 13: an idea Of what. MARTINE is i want. TO see

704
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 13: i want to see what this guy is if you

705
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 13: get if he gets a chance to be in the lineup,

706
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 13: every day we ain't never.

707
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 3: Saw, that yeah.

708
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 2: That THAT that's i think how this roster. IS assembled

709
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: i think that's the part of it that makes it

710
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 2: very difficult for this team because you just don't know

711
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 2: how many adbots these guys are going to, get in

712
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of players at. This level they

713
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: just need consistency and you can't offer that right Now To,

714
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: reese hines who had, a great as, you mentioned, a

715
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: great a great spring training and historically he's been a

716
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 2: GREAT triple. A.

717
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 13: Player Well so i'll make this point And then i'll.

718
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 13: Get off sometimes you got to make the. Hard decision

719
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 13: sometimes you gotta look at a player or a player, and, say,

720
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 13: well okay we know what this.

721

723
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,759

724
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 13: to just to that instead of tread and water with

725
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 13: the same guys over and over again when you know

726
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 13: what they are. Long Term so i'll get off.

727
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:24,560

730
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: displayed this year has to be greater than what we saw.

731
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 3: Last year if, someone okay IF.

732
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 2: A tj friedel goes Half of april and he's still

733
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,560

734
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 2: Drag out you've got to find the best players. Completely

735
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: agree that can make. A difference And If re sciens.

736
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 3: Is going, to continue, you know doing what he's done

737
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the Year AT, triple a, then

738
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 3: yeah you gotta you gotta make that decision and give

739
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 3: the kid. A chance i'm so down. For that and

740
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 3: and the Thing to remember he's still on the twenty five,

741
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 3: years old so you know it's not like he's the

Speaker 3: clock is ticking on getting resigns. UP here i like

743
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: the approach they're taking. With him let him play, every

744
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 3: day let him get, used to, you know what. He's

747
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,760

748
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,520

Speaker 14: boston i just enjoyed listening to you two and. The

771
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 14: callers it's such in. Your blood it's really.

772
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 3: Fascinate you thanks you.

773
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 14: That absolutely as far as, The abs i'm not going

774
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 14: to defend the umpires because many of them are not.

775
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 14: Very good but the way the strike zone. Is established

776
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 14: they measured the players in spring training in their bare,

777
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,479
Speaker 14: feet upright and the lower part of their strike zone

778
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 14: was twenty seven percent of, their height the highest part

779
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 14: of the strike zone was fifty three point five percent of,

780
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 14: their height and then obviously the width of. The PLATE

781
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 14: now i almost Feel like i'm trying to explain trigonometry

782
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 14: to myself in the, eleventh grade because it gets.

783
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 3: A little bit.

784
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 14: Mind blowing But Obviously aaron Judge And josel tuvig and

785
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 14: are completely different strike zones and, THESE umpires i don't

786
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 14: know what they can see or. Can't SEE so i

787
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 14: think they should either go all in with abs and

788
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 14: just have it done like, in tennis when you know

789
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 14: the eye decides that the balls in or out on

790
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 14: a serve and still have the whole plate, umpire handle,

791
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 14: you know check swings and.

792
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 6: Whatever else he has to do play at.

793
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 14: The plate but this is going to be a complete,

794
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 14: like YEAH and i think that's.

795
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: The That's going and the hard thing, about it it's

796
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: not like these are. EGREGIOUS misses a lot of times

797
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 2: these misses are a tenth of an inch from the.

798
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 2: Strike zone so you think of like there's a realness

799
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: when it comes, to, officiating right and these guys. Are

800
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 2: good you think OF the nfl that you could call

801
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: certain penalties on every play if you really. Wanted to

802
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: you're talking about one tenth of an inch that these

803
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: guys are off with a ninety eight mile an. Hour

804
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 2: pitch it's rather impressive when you think. About, it unfortunately

805
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 2: it's going to operate a Guy Like. Cebe buckner it's

806
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 2: not the sixth. Challenges dabs it's going back and looking

807
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 2: at them scorecard and seeing twenty six or twenty eight.

808
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 2: Miss calls that raises the eyebrow a. Little bit but

809
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 2: for the everyday ump it's a very.

810
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 14: Hard ASK before i have a quick Comment on tiger

811
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 14: was the solution might Be Bring barry Bonds And frank

812
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 14: thomas and all those great hitters.

813
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 6: Who had a great eye back to. The umpires i'm

814
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 6: sure they'd be all.

815
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 3: For, it yeah. That's it they jump.

816
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 14: AT it i don't think you pay, them enough but

817
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 14: they'd be the. PERFECT guy i jump At It barry

818
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 14: Barnes And frank thomas about straight. Zone judgments as Far as,

819
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 14: TIGER was i think when he started to fall a

820
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 14: bit in terms of health with the, disc problems the.

821
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 14: Ligament problems is when he started to train Like a.

822
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 14: NAVY seal i mean he got up, fifteen pounds maybe maybe.

823
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 14: Twenty pounds he. Looked fantastic he looked LIKE an nfl.

824
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 14: Strong safety but that's not necessarily the best thing for.

825
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 14: A golfer i mean he kind of lost a little of,

826
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 14: that fluidity put too much strain on. The discs, the

827
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 14: Ligaments and i'm going to tell a real quick STORY

1024
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 2: he just wasn't as locked in as you would like him.

1025
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 2: To Be pierced johnson On opening day. Struggled mightily he

1026
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: Put together he kind of bookended some bad outings with

1027
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 2: two good outings Against The Boston.

1028
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 3: Red sox but, the bullpen, to me is.

1029
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 13: Is.

1030
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 2: So IMPORTANT and i talked about this earlier and drew in.

1031
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 2: The year going into, a season everyone makes stuff about

1032
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 2: starting pitching in, your lineup and then the playoffs come

1033
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 2: around and the starters are pitching in such high stress

1034
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 2: situations that.

1035
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 3: They don't go as deep.

1036
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: Into games and Every postseason i'm reminded when you see

1037
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 2: guys for these teams that are Competing For, world series

1038
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 2: it feels like every guy they bring out of the

1039
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 2: bullpen is like a sub. Three, era YEAH and I

1040
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 2: Need pierce johnson to be that For The, cincinnati Reds

1041
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 2: Not pierce johnson with the ten point one to.

1042
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 3: Three.

1043
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 18: Era, yeah well and staying on kind of the, same

1044
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 18: topic and this is more and he's only struck out

1045
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 18: one batter, as well which is a little bit alarming

1046
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 18: as it for a. Relief pitcher and we'll transition this

1047
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 18: into are, we worried kind of worried or not worried

1048
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 18: about how much the load the bullpen has had this

1049
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 18: early on in.

1050
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 2: THE year i think you worry about it because you

1051
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 2: Don't Have, nick loodolo you Don't Have, hunter GREEN and

1052
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 2: i think it's a little bit of an Unknown, With

1053
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 2: williamson Louder And chase burns what an innings limit is

1054
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 2: going to look like. This, year yeah so you don't

1055
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 2: have your two front. End Guys andrew abbott has, been okay.

1056
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 2: Pretty good outside, of that there's a lot of Unknown,

1057
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 2: with louder there's a lot of Unknown With, brandon WILLIAMSON

1058
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 2: and i don't know how many starts and how many

1059
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 2: innings you're gonna get Out Of. Chase burns so the

1060
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 2: more taxing you are on a bullpen early in, the

1061
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 2: season if your goal is competing FOR An nl central

1062
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 2: title of, playoff appearance winning in, the playoffs you're gonna

1063
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 2: need to rely on a bullpen that you're already feels

1064
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 2: like you're relying on, a lot especially again Today When

1065
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 2: andrew abbatardy giving up.

1066

00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 3: yeah man we kind of need you to go out

1103
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,279

1112
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 3: Walk today so let's, see how, you know how today

1113

1114
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 3: You know i'm worried about him in an.

1115
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 2: Early number that's alarming to ME. With tj friedel is

1116
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 2: when When the suarez, deal happened the conversation was what

1117
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 2: they're going to hit, home runs But with Ellie and

1118
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 2: suarez at the top of, your order the strikeout numbers

1119
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 2: are going to. Be high you know who's second on

1120
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 2: the team in strikeouts?

1121
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 3: RIGHT now TJ Friedl.

1122
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 2: Tj, friedel yeah so if your leadoff is not, Making

1123
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 2: contact ellie's not, Making Contact ianio suarez is not, making,

1124
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 2: contact well then the concern you're talking, about, one three

1125
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 2: five on most days in your lineup striking out at a. High,

1126
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,799
Speaker 2: rate yeah that to me is a little. Bit, concerning yes,

1127
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 2: It is it. Really IS so i think YOU and

1128
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 2: i both are aligned on there next, up worried kind

1129
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 2: of worried or not worried About. Noelvi marte and this

1130
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 2: is more into the fact that he's not playing. Every,

1131
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 2: day yeah that's the part of it that worries me

1132
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 2: more because if he's playing, EVERY day i, Would, say

1133
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 2: okay you're gonna be able to get into. A RHYTHM

1134
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 2: and i think the rhythm is very important For, nouelv

1135
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 2: marte much like we have the Conversation With. Reese hines

1136
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 2: if you're not getting every day Opportunities for nouel Of,

1137
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 2: a MARTE then i think it becomes. More concerning and

1138
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 2: right now it looks like he's going to be a

1139
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 2: guy that is platooning a lot in the outfield with

1140
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 2: a Guy Like. Will benson so on, the Year nouelve

1141
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 2: martes is still looking for his. First hit he's not

1142
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 2: in the starting. Lineup today in aid, at bats he's

1143
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 2: struck out, Five times so it's a high swing. AND

1144
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 2: misrate i worry because when you have a guy, like

1145
00:57:55,840 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 2: THAT it's i don't think people realize in any space

1146
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 2: how hard it is to find a rhythm when you're

1147
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 2: not getting the opportunities. Every, day yeah you can make

1148
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 2: that case anywhere when you're, splitting time then what do

1149
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 2: you do when you do? Get opportunities you put more pressure. On,

1150
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 2: yourself yeah BECAUSE now i gotta do something today Or

1151
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 2: else i'm not gonna be playing. Tomorrow AGAIN and i

1152
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 2: think that on the shoulders of a player is very

1153
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 2: difficult to.

1154
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 3: Deal, with yeah, No doubt and THAT'S how i. FEEL

1155
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 3: too i would want to try and find a way

1156
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 3: To get marte into the lineup, every day especially because

1157
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 3: he is learning how to, play OUTFIELD and i just

1158
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 3: feel there's no better teacher for learning a new position

1159
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 3: than just playing. The position, AND look i get the

1160
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 3: Allure Of. WILL benson I Like will benson, a lot

1161
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 3: but he's nothing more than a fourth or fifth outfielder.

1162
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 2: To, ME yeah i would, ask this who's got more upside?

1163
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 2: Career Wise will Benson And? Nueve martin and that was

1164
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 2: gonna be my.

1165
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 3: Next POINT is I just i Feel like marte has

1166
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 3: that ceiling of being a legitimate everyday right fielder for your.

1167
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 3: Ball club and Right now i'm struggling to find any

1168
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 3: of the outfielders That the reds HAVE where i would

1169
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 3: feel good about putting them in the Light like i'm

1170
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 3: building the. LINEUP today i Know where, ELLIE'S going i

1171
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 3: Know where, McLean's going i know WHERE outfielder x. IS

1172
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 3: going i feel like we. DON'T really, I mean freedol's

1173
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 3: in center and leading off every day might have fall at,

1174
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 3: this point but if, you know if you had, more talent,

1175
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 3: you know would that be. The case so, So yeah

1176
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 3: i'm worried that he's not playing. Every day.

1177
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 2: Moving on there's also one other point, about IT and

1178
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 2: i think this is a bigger issue for, the team

1179
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 2: and we're kind of watching it. Play OUT and i

1180
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 2: noticed this the other Night With will, benson specifically and

1181
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 2: you can see It With, noave marte and it might

1182
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 2: be just baseball, NOW anyway i don't see any change

1183
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,439
Speaker 2: in approaches of at bats with. Two, Strikes Yeah will

1184
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 2: benson takes the same swing with no strikes or one

1185
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 2: strike that he does with. Two strikes all he's looking

1186
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 2: to do is try to hit the ball out of.

1187
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: The BALLPARK and i think it's different times and eras

1188
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 2: of BASEBALL where i remember guys with two strikes they

1189
00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 2: choke up a little bit and they just want to

1190
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 2: put the ball. In play there's too many hitters On

1191
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 2: the Reds And will benson's one of them that with

1192
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 2: two strikes has the same approach that he does with

1193
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 2: no strikes or.

1194
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 3: One, strike yeah. No doubt, moving on let's go to

1195
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 3: the much maligned catcher. Position here i'm going to Combine

1196
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 3: both Trevigno and. Stevenson here are, we worried kind of

1197
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 3: worried or not worried about the.

1198
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 2: Catcher position i'm worried because others around the team seem to. Be,

1199
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 2: Worried YEAH like I Had charlie goldsmith on, last week

1200
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 2: he was worried about the. Catcher position we've talked to.

1201
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 2: OTHERS already i Talked To jeff carr earlier in. The

1202
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 2: week he's worried about the. Catcher position it felt like

1203
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: we didn't talk at All About tyler stevenson in spring

1204

Speaker 2: training except. For, arbitration yeah and early start to the

1205
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 2: season has not been Kind To. Tyler stevenson it's also

1206
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,320

1207
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,440

1210
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 2: Order was Travigno And Kei, brian hayes and my response,

1211
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 2: Would be I've seen trevigno have one hit. This year

1212
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 2: i've yet to see That With. TYLER stevenson i just

1213
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 2: don't know offensively what the upside is right now at the.

1214
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 2: CATCHER position i also don't Know What tyler stevenson's contract

1215
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: or lack thereof contract after this year plays.

1216
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 3: Into.

1217
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 2: THAT yep I just i think there's a lot of

1218
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 2: off the field things that are going on and now on,

1219
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 2: THE field i think you're seeing that overlap into the

1220
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 2: off the field stuff and you're seeing guys that, to

1221
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 2: me it doesn't look like there's a lot of confidence at.

1222
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 3: The, plate yeah and That's where i'm. At too and

1223
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 3: you know the much maligned eight to nine hole hitters

1224
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,480

Speaker 2: with gino you kind of know at this stage in

1246
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,120

1247
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 2: to strike out a lot and ideally he's going to

1248
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:52,840

1249
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 16: Home.

1250
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 2: Runs, yep NOW what i think is promising early on

1251
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 2: is the amount of times he's been able to come

1252
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 2: up to the play with runners in. Scoring POSITION and

1253
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 2: i think that's kudos to the start That south stewart

1254
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 2: has obviously had in the Decision for tito to to

1255
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 2: Put south stewart In between Ellie. AND gino i think

1256
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 2: if you are consistently consistently getting guys on base Ahead

1257
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 2: of suarez more times, than not that's going to. Pay

1258
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 2: off i'm not at a Point where i'm overreacting or

1259
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,400

Speaker 3: You know it's.

1269
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 2: It's hard it's hard at the back end of this

1270
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 2: to say worry because regardless of how frustrating last, year

1271
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 2: was and regardless of them not really earning but kind

1272
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 2: of backing into, the playoffs they did go to. The,

1273
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:59,919
Speaker 2: playoffs yes THIS year i think is vastly important because

1274
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 2: a couple, Of, reasons one they got him more talent

1275
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 2: to start. The year they did more in the Offseason For,

1276
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:11,919
Speaker 2: terry francona both with the bullpen And with iohanni osuarezn't

1277
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 2: a Guy Like dane myers or at some point this

1278
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 2: year MAYBE A jj bleda or things.

1279
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 8: LIKE that.

1280
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 2: I could get worried if they, start slow knowing what

1281
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 2: the Month of may and on looks like from a.

1282
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 2: SCHEDULE standpoint i also as the season, draws on would

1283
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 2: would get a little bit more worried just because of

1284
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 2: the fact that there's a good chance there is a lockout. Next,

1285
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 2: year yeah and what does that look like for a

1286
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 2: Guy Like, Terry, francona yeah and his contract status and

1287
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 2: what that.

1288
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 3: Would. Be yeah well that is all THE names i have.

1289
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,360

1290
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,960

1291
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 3: one sixty two last year to get the rest of.

1292
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 3: The playoffs like, you said they backed in whatever they made.

1293

Speaker 3: The postseason i'm not. TOO worried i really want to

1294
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 3: know the answer to This Why eohannio suarez is not

1295
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 3: in the. Lineup, today AGAIN as i, SAID earlier i

1296
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 3: got to think that it's something, you know either he picked,

1297
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 3: up something he's under. THE weather i just cannot imagine

1298
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 3: a day when You're facing paul's. Healthy crotch yeah is. A,

1299
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 3: days yeah you know we're Gonna give, geno day especially

1300
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 3: with the off. Day Tomorrow so i'm very intrigued to

1301
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 3: see what he has to say about that after. The

1302
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 3: Game so i'll put him in the not, worried category

1303
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 3: but not again not slamming the gabble on.

1304
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 2: That one let me give you one more go ahead,

1305
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 2: starting rotation because all off SEASON all i heard was,

1306
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,880

1307
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 2: rotation Obviously the hunter situation. Is Unfortunate the nicklodolo thing

1308
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 2: worries me because it's not the first time he's dealt,

1309
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 2: with blisters and now this time he's dealing with Them

1310
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 2: in march. Let alone we haven't got to the hot

1311

Speaker 2: months of The, Year, june july those types of months

1312
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 2: where blisters are going to be more prevalent for someone

1313
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 2: quote has, moist Hands As David derrek. Johnson said.

1314
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 15: But not.

1315
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 3: ONLY that.

1316
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 2: I know it was a great first Start For. Andrew

1317
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 2: abbott it was a, shaky spring AND as i, mentioned

1318
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 2: before there's a lot of Unknowns, With burns Louder, and

1319
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 2: williamson both production and both. Innings limits as the season,

1320
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 2: rolls on where are you out with the, Starting rotation.

1321
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 3: I'll go kind. Of Worried andrew abbots, he's good. HE

1322
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 3: do i think he's your top end ace and opening

1323
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 3: day starter every. SINGLE year. I don't i don't think.

1324
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 3: HE'S that i know he Made The All star game.

1325
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 3: Last year he had a sensational year. Last Year lodolo

1326
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 3: lodolo is the most frustrating one, of this of all,

1327
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 3: of this because when he is on and, he's going

1328
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 3: you can almost make the argument he's got nastier Stuff.

1329
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 3: Than green Like when lodolo is, going Good and, i've heard,

1330
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 3: you know major league hit hitters talk, about this how

1331
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 3: when They face lodolo and he's got, it going. He's

1332
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 3: tough so you really and hopefully, you know the word

1333
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 3: is is that he may be back For That miami series.

1334
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 3: Next week so let's hope he can get that and

1335
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 3: then put the blister issue. Behind HIM and i completely

1336
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,479
Speaker 3: understand why we have Guardrails On chase Burns And. RED

1337
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 3: louder i get it because they're the future they're, they're

1338

1340
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 3: wheels off, the man let's see what. They got.

1341
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 2: You know one other Remark On andrew abbit before we

1342
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 2: get to, a break it's it's one thing when you

1343
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 2: are a number three starter in a rotation because you're

1344
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 2: still pitching this in but who you're going up against

1345
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 2: right on the, other side you Think Of andrew abbott

1346
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 2: starts opening day Opposite Of. Garrett, crochet today he's starting

1347
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 2: Opposite Of paul, Skins yep and his next start he's

1348
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 2: going to start Opposite Of. Sandy alcinta he's going to

1349
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 2: be going up more often than not against another, team's

1350
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 2: ace which means his margin for air in games is

1351
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 2: going to be much smaller than if he was the.

1352
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 2: Number three, for instance a day like today has a rough,

1353
01:07:56,280 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 2: first inning trails. Three nothing there's a lot lot of

1354
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 2: people out there that, probably Assume With paul skins on,

1355
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 2: the mound this game is. Already, over yep against another

1356

01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 2: RIGHT now i grew Up on, cincinnati BASKETBALL and i

1900
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:48,360
Speaker 2: remember at all times you didn't know if it was

1901
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 2: going to be the prettiest or the cleanest, at times

1902
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:52,360
Speaker 2: but you did know that EVERY time uc took, the

1903
01:34:52,439 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 2: floor the other team was going to be in for.

1904
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:57,960
Speaker 2: A fight and they knew that fight. Was coming it

1905
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:00,240
Speaker 2: was part of the BRAND of. Uc basketball and it

1906
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:02,720
Speaker 2: just doesn't go to. THE players i know you you

1907
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 2: you knew Guys Like jason Maxiel And, eric kicks but

1908
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 2: also coaches with Hugs And mick Cronin And, andy kennedy

1909
01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 2: all of. Those guys what do you think of when

1910
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 2: when you think NATIONALLY of, uc basketball what's tagged alongside

1911
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:18,360
Speaker 2: with that name and.

1912
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 4: That, UNIVERSITY yeah I mean i, think toughness, YOU know

1913
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 4: i think they had a. CLEAR identity i think every

1914
01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:28,040
Speaker 4: great program has. An, identity uh, you know obviously every

1915
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 4: coach has their. Own style they played to, you know.

1916
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:33,519
Speaker 4: Different ways there's a million ways to do it will

1917
01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 4: be totally different probably than, you know. Those coaches the

1918
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 4: game has. Certainly changed it's a modern game. Of basketball

1919
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:44,360
Speaker 4: so we like guys that know how, to play guys that,

1920
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 4: are efficient guys that, can, pass. Catch shoot we want

1921
01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 4: to be disruptive defensively and really create. Space OFFENSIVELY so

1922
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:54,720
Speaker 4: i think it'll be a really good brand. OF basketball

1923
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:57,800
Speaker 4: i think it'll reflect. The city and, YOU know i

1924
01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 4: think it's all about getting kids that can, work, Together

1925
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 4: right so as you're, recruiting guys you have to get

1926
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:07,160
Speaker 4: kids that buy into we over meet guys that buy into,

1927
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 4: the team and that's got to be done on the.

1928
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 4: Front end so there's a lot of work to be

1929
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 4: done over the next forty to. Fifty days and then

1930
01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 4: as you get them here in, the summer that's really

1931
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 4: when you start building the team and the character and

1932
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:22,040
Speaker 4: then really put in your concepts and. Your identity, BUT

1933
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 4: yeah i think it's going to be exciting brand of

1934
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:25,280
Speaker 4: basketball that people be really.

1935
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 3: Proud of the style is the excitement. That comes and you.

1936
01:36:29,200 --> 01:36:32,599
Speaker 2: MENTIONED identity i think in years past sometimes that identity

1937
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 2: is kind. Of lacking if you had to stick one,

1938
01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 2: out there what do you want folks to say about

1939
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:40,800
Speaker 2: your program At the University of cincinnati from an?

1940
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:43,680
Speaker 4: Identity, STANDPOINT yeah, I mean i think the biggest thing

1941
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:45,760
Speaker 4: is we want to, be unselfish, you know we want

1942
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:47,479
Speaker 4: to make sure that we're making the right play on

1943
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,280
Speaker 4: both sides of the ball and really just putting the.

1944
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:52,479
Speaker 4: Team first so when you watch us play while that

1945
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:55,760
Speaker 4: team is really connected not just in, our communication but

1946
01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 4: our concepts and the way. WE play i think that's

1947
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:01,839
Speaker 4: what basketballs may be. To be, you know As the, kelsey,

1948
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,800
Speaker 4: said yes you know, this morning it's such a fast, paced,

1949
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 4: Game right so you have to, play green you have

1950
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 4: to play to the. Next advantage you can't stop. In

1951
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 4: basketball but guys got to know how to play.

1952
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 3: And they got to.

1953
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 4: Play together so those are some of our things we

1954
01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:16,920
Speaker 4: really try to.

1955
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 2: Concentrate on one of the unique Things that i've Learned

1956
01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 2: as i've watched THIS year's ncaa tournament and especially the

1957
01:37:25,360 --> 01:37:27,720
Speaker 2: final four, teams remaining is that you can kind of

1958
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:32,799
Speaker 2: lean on different things that these rosters have built. Themselves

1959
01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 2: Around certainly arizona's roster is Not what Illinois or Yukon.

1960
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,760
Speaker 2: Or michigan they're all kind of different in, a way

1961
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:43,559
Speaker 2: and they've all. Found success it tells me there's more

1962
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 2: than one way to successfully build a. Championship roster how

1963
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 2: do you want to build your roster At the University.

1964
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 4: Of, CINCINNATI yeah i mean those are really, valid, points

1965
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 4: right you Look, at illinois they're. Front predominantly they've picked and.

1966
01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 6: Roll team yukon runs a lot.

1967
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:02,839
Speaker 4: Of Sets obviously Arizona and michigan they have great. Positional size,

1968
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:05,240
Speaker 4: you know we want to have positional size In the.

1969
01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 4: Big twelve you have to have an elite passing point

1970
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:12,400
Speaker 4: guard and a. Good Playmaker the big twelve is very

1971
01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 4: aggressive and pick and, roll coverages so you've got to

1972
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 4: have a big that can. Create advantages so we'll.

1973
01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:18,680
Speaker 20: Do it.

1974
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:21,280
Speaker 4: You know, on offense we have a clear vision of.

1975
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 4: Every position we want, versatile wings we want. Skilled forwards

1976
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,519
Speaker 4: we want fives that can create advantages and provide. Rim

1977
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:31,400
Speaker 4: protection we want to build. A bench, YOU know i

1978
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:35,280
Speaker 4: think basketball so much longer than, most sports so you've

1979
01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 4: got to have nine or. Ten players and then we.

1980
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:40,360
Speaker 4: Want development we want guys that really want to be

1981
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 4: here and develop in red shirt and on a five.

1982
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:46,799
Speaker 4: Year plan so everybody's different that comes into, the program

1983
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:49,639
Speaker 4: but there is a, real plan and, you know we're

1984
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 4: able to do That At utah state back to, back

1985
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 4: tournaments winning a first round Game, against villanova, you know

1986
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 4: on the brink of, you know Possibly. Beating arizona so

1987
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:03,720
Speaker 4: our style. Has worked our, you know pedigree of how

1988
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:06,160
Speaker 4: we want to play and our identity has been, very

1989
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:08,560
Speaker 4: clear and now we just got to bring that to

1990
01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 4: light Here.

1991
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:10,800
Speaker 6: AT cincinnati i thought of all.

1992
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:13,680
Speaker 2: The TEAMS that uc played, Last year arizona to me

1993
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 2: was the clear cut leader In The, big twelve and

1994
01:39:16,479 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 2: obviously that's why they're still. Playing basketball going up against

1995
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:22,960
Speaker 2: a team like that at their very best from the

1996
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 2: conference you are now, coaching in is there things that

1997
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:27,840
Speaker 2: you can draw from, that now from that game and

1998
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:29,559
Speaker 2: going forward to how you're assembling.

1999
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:29,680
Speaker 13: This.

2000
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 4: ROSTER yeah, i mean, you know one Thing About, tommy

2001
01:39:33,120 --> 01:39:36,240
Speaker 4: lloyd he's very convicted in. His recruiting he loves. POSITIONAL

2002
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:39,200
Speaker 4: size i thought they had the biggest front line in,

2003
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:41,600
Speaker 4: the country, you know very Similar. To MICHIGAN so i

2004
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:43,960
Speaker 4: think it'll be a. Great matchup but you know the

2005
01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:46,080
Speaker 4: reality of, it is we've been a top twenty five

2006
01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:48,800
Speaker 4: team for two years in a row at the mid major.

2007
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:52,120
Speaker 4: Plus level so every coach is going to have a

2008
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:55,639
Speaker 4: different style coach to. Their strengths you got to figure out.

2009
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 4: What works, but yeah certainly seeing it, up close seeing

2010
01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:02,240
Speaker 4: cooped and, You know bury's and some of these guys

2011
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 4: that are at the top Of the, big twelve and,

2012
01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:06,240
Speaker 4: you know playing for a, NATIONAL championship i think it

2013
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 4: really gave me a gauge on the, you know the

2014
01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 4: talent that. You need but, you know we had played

2015
01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:14,560
Speaker 4: great teams over the last. Two Years certainly arizona is

2016
01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 4: probably the best, we've SEEN and i think that, helped me,

2017
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 4: you know as a week LATER.

2018
01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:21,880
Speaker 6: When i Got to cincinnati job.

2019
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:28,160
Speaker 2: Roster construction, you know in, today's basketball it is a

2020
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:31,960
Speaker 2: little bit easier to go from where a team was

2021
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:34,639
Speaker 2: the previous year to where they want to be because

2022
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 2: of the growth and because of. The portal how do

2023
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:41,599
Speaker 2: you incorporate the transfert portal and also recruiting freshmen into

2024
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:43,679
Speaker 2: the program. As well how do you find that balance

2025
01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:44,240
Speaker 2: as a coach in.

2026
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 4: Today's, GAME yeah, i mean we don't want fifteen, active

2027
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:50,679
Speaker 4: guys that's the first part.

2028
01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:51,120
Speaker 8: Of it we.

2029
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 4: Want TWELVE so i want three kids sitting OUT or

2030
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 4: i want a, you know a, walk on and then too.

2031
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 4: Developmental guys so you take your ross size down, to

2032
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:04,200
Speaker 4: twelve and then you start prioritizing where you really want

2033
01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:07,120
Speaker 4: to spend your money on each position and the value

2034
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:10,920
Speaker 4: of each player in. The impact right there's, you know

2035
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:13,880
Speaker 4: a lot of. Analytics involved i'm a big, numbers guy

2036
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:15,640
Speaker 4: kind of a nerd guy when it comes, to That

2037
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:19,719
Speaker 4: but i'll also trust my EYES and i also value.

2038
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 4: Different positions, SO yeah I mean I think cincinnati, fans should,

2073
01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:11,080

2113
01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:05,000
Speaker 4: OUR style i think our contexts TO. The nba there

2114
01:45:05,120 --> 01:45:09,040

Speaker 2: Speaking To jared calhoun For The, Cincinnati Reds andrew abbot

2232
01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:59,200
Speaker 2: found himself in a little bit of trouble in the

2233
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:03,320
Speaker 2: top half of The sixth he leaves with runners on first,

2234
01:51:03,400 --> 01:51:07,599
Speaker 2: and second. Two Outs connor phillips comes in and immediately

2235
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:10,320
Speaker 2: walks two, straight batters throws eight out of nine pitches

2236
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:13,680
Speaker 2: out of the, strike zone which Puts the pirates up for,

2237
01:51:13,840 --> 01:51:17,679
Speaker 2: to one And Then Drew paul.

2238
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:18,479
Speaker 3: Skens is taken out of.

2239
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:22,600
Speaker 2: The game going into, The Sixth sal stewart comes in

2240
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:25,360
Speaker 2: and sees a four pitchwalk one and no part of

2241
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:29,599
Speaker 2: Dealing With. Sal stewart And then Tito, The magnificent Tito.

2242
01:51:29,680 --> 01:51:31,719
Speaker 3: The magnificent he, strikes again.

2243
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 2: He, Strikes again and we WONDERED because i think there's

2244
01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:39,960
Speaker 2: a legitimate argument, of maybe, You Know paul Skens versus

2245
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:44,879
Speaker 2: suarez is just not a, good Matchup And terry Francona

2246
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:47,400
Speaker 2: Thought nathaniel lowe, was better and that worked out because

2247
01:51:47,439 --> 01:51:50,839
Speaker 2: low did GET the rbi Double Off, paul Skeen so skens.

2248
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:54,519
Speaker 2: Is lifted suarez comes into the game for Low and

2249
01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:57,360
Speaker 2: suarez then dumps the ball four hundred and ten feet

2250
01:51:57,400 --> 01:51:59,800
Speaker 2: over the wall and it now Cuts the pittsburgh lead

2251
01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:00,599
Speaker 2: to four.

2252
01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:06,439

01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:43,759
Speaker 2: pitch a, left hander and he gets a weak Flyout

2264
01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:47,479
Speaker 2: From elie Da. La cruz he Walks south stewart and

2265
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:51,120

2267
01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:57,280

2269
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:03,240

01:53:52,920 --> 01:53:55,960
Speaker 2: title game there and the way that those two rosters.

2286
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:59,720
Speaker 2: Are built but As As jared, Calhoun said Michigan And,

2287
01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:03,280
Speaker 2: area zona they they're just at. Every position they rely

2288
01:54:03,439 --> 01:54:07,240
Speaker 2: on a lot of size. And, physicality illinois you look

2289
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 2: At what illinois. Has done they have essentially cornered, the

2290
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:13,320
Speaker 2: market drew on, international players Especially The eastern european, basketball

2291
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:15,880
Speaker 2: players and they look Like An eastern european pro Team.

2292
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:19,800
Speaker 2: Against houston, and then As coach, calhoun said You got

2293
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:21,800
Speaker 2: yukon who just runs a ton of sets and they

2294
01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:23,880
Speaker 2: run him. So well but you got all these different

2295
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:27,680
Speaker 2: styles that make up the, final four and there's not

2296
01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:29,719
Speaker 2: one true way to. Do it but if you're looking

2297
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:32,640
Speaker 2: at the four teams that are, left standing how are

2298
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:36,680
Speaker 2: you viewing the field as far as your your. Championship

2299
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:39,120
Speaker 2: CONTENDERS so i.

2300
01:54:39,320 --> 01:54:41,720
Speaker 3: Don't want To sell Illinois and. Yukon short they're, both

2301
01:54:41,800 --> 01:54:46,080
Speaker 3: great great teams with very very, Good coaches. Hurley especially,

2302
01:54:46,240 --> 01:54:48,080
Speaker 3: you know the fun thing to do is to Dunk

2303
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:51,320
Speaker 3: on hurley because he, you know his actions on, the

2304
01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:54,080
Speaker 3: sidelines but that dude can, coach man he can get

2305
01:54:54,120 --> 01:54:56,839
Speaker 3: he gets his team ready to play, against. Whoever whomever,

2306
01:54:57,040 --> 01:54:59,600
Speaker 3: You know yukon was, kind of, you know sputtering a

2307
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:02,440
Speaker 3: little going in towards, you Know The Big east tournament

2308
01:55:02,480 --> 01:55:04,920
Speaker 3: and coming into, the tournament and they just find ways,

2309
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 3: to win especially that miraculous Game, against douke who many

2310
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:11,160
Speaker 3: people would say was the best team in. THE tournament

2311
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:14,360
Speaker 3: i would not, say that but it just feels like

2312
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 3: the two heavyweights on the other side of, The bracket Michigan.

2313
01:55:17,240 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 3: In arizona it just feels like those two teams are

2314
01:55:20,360 --> 01:55:24,920
Speaker 3: a notch Ahead of Yukon. And illinois but you know

2315
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:28,280
Speaker 3: that's why they play the, basketball, Games MAN and i

2316
01:55:28,360 --> 01:55:30,280
Speaker 3: go back to a long. Time ago one of my

2317
01:55:30,360 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 3: favorite you know thirty for Thirties is Survive, in advance

2318
01:55:34,080 --> 01:55:38,000
Speaker 3: the Story About North carolina state when They defeated houston

2319
01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 3: in the, Title game and the thing about that Was

2320
01:55:41,960 --> 01:55:45,120
Speaker 3: was Houston played louisville in the other half Of that,

2321
01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:47,840
Speaker 3: final four and it was kind of a similar thing,

2322
01:55:47,880 --> 01:55:50,080
Speaker 3: to this where everyone looked at that game, and went

2323
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:53,280
Speaker 3: that's the de facto, national championship AND Then nc state

2324
01:55:53,320 --> 01:55:56,880

Speaker 2: jc tretder the executive director OF, the, nflpa, said quote

2354
01:57:41,840 --> 01:57:45,240

2355
01:57:45,320 --> 01:57:47,240
Speaker 2: manage the game in, real time enforce the rules and

2356
01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:50,880
Speaker 2: stop situations from escalating that can't be replaced by less

2357
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:55,560
Speaker 2: experienced crews or. Handled remotely if player safety, truly matters

2358
01:57:56,120 --> 01:58:01,520
Speaker 2: trained professional officials on the field are. Not negotiable other

01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:07,920
Speaker 2: happenings across the league meetings, right now the EIGHTEEN game

2360
01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:12,720

2361
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:15,440
Speaker 2: reaction FROM both nfl coaches.

2362
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:17,160
Speaker 3: And PLAYERS so.

2363
01:58:19,120 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 2: I still think this is, years away but there's a

2364
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:24,600
Speaker 2: lot of conversation happening between owners and coaches AND the

2365
01:58:24,760 --> 01:58:28,800
Speaker 2: nflpa that's happening at the. League meetings, of course flag

2366
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:33,120
Speaker 2: football has been, a conversation and again the alarming state

2367
01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:38,200
Speaker 2: of negotiations with referees now in these. League meetings we

2368
01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:40,960
Speaker 2: also Found out drew and something you could Speak On,

2369
01:58:42,280 --> 01:58:45,160
Speaker 2: deshaun watson quarterback In The, cleveland browns could be a

2370
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:46,920
Speaker 2: thing here, this, Season right.

2371
01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 3: It, could be, you know it's, YOU know i don't

2372
01:58:50,240 --> 01:58:54,040
Speaker 3: think it's going. TO be I Think shedur sanders is

2373
01:58:54,080 --> 01:58:57,040
Speaker 3: going to end up getting the starting job by the

2374
01:58:57,120 --> 01:58:57,880
Speaker 3: time the fall.

2375
01:58:57,960 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 2: Rolls AROUND and i saw too that that he Mentioned

2376
01:59:00,920 --> 01:59:03,760
Speaker 2: That shadore sanders has been around, a lot and that's

2377
01:59:03,800 --> 01:59:05,160
Speaker 2: not the same Case With dylan gabriel.

2378
01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:08,400
Speaker 3: He, Has yeah i'm Good On, DYLAN gabriel i can,

2379
01:59:08,640 --> 01:59:11,680
Speaker 3: you know and he's been it's been, speculated that, you

2380
01:59:11,760 --> 01:59:14,920
Speaker 3: know he would. BE traded i don't know who would trade,

2381
01:59:14,960 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 3: for him, but yeah, you Know but shaudors he's doing

2382
01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:21,600
Speaker 3: all the. Right things he's in, the facility, working hard and,

2383
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:24,360
Speaker 3: you know wants to. Get BETTER so i think if

2384
01:59:24,360 --> 01:59:26,960
Speaker 3: you ask me Now on, april first who the week

2385
01:59:27,040 --> 01:59:29,240
Speaker 3: one starter at quarterback will be For The, CLEVELAND browns

2386
01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 3: i think it's going To Be. SHADOR sanders I Think

2387
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:34,840
Speaker 3: todd munkin Really Like. Shador sanders he wanted Them, In,

2388
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 3: baltimore yeah to Back. Up JACKSON so i think part

2389
01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 3: of the reason why Taking The cleveland browns job was

2390
01:59:41,360 --> 01:59:43,720
Speaker 3: so alluring to him was to Work With. Shador SANDERS

2391
01:59:44,320 --> 01:59:47,680
Speaker 3: so i ultimately think it Will Be. Shador SANDERS but

2392
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:50,760
Speaker 3: i am not ruling out the Possibility Of deshaun watson

2393
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:53,240
Speaker 3: playing quarterbacks For the, browns again and THAT'S something i

2394
01:59:53,480 --> 01:59:54,280
Speaker 3: just don't want.

2395
01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:57,480
Speaker 2: To see as it relates To, the bengals this is

2396
01:59:58,120 --> 02:00:00,680
Speaker 2: normally the time of the year In Which kate blackburn

2397
02:00:01,320 --> 02:00:07,040
Speaker 2: would speak during. These Meetings katie blackburn And the bengals

2398
02:00:07,680 --> 02:00:10,840
Speaker 2: decided not To Have katie, Blackburn SPEAK and I know

2399
02:00:10,920 --> 02:00:13,720
Speaker 2: austin talked about this a little, bit yesterday but the

2400
02:00:13,840 --> 02:00:18,400
Speaker 2: problem with this. Becomes twofold the first issue is that

2401
02:00:19,760 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 2: it just creates a sense of speculation from the. Fan

2402
02:00:27,800 --> 02:00:36,280
Speaker 2: base fans, want transparency fans. Want direction there's a lot

2403
02:00:36,320 --> 02:00:39,560
Speaker 2: of Things the bengals have done this offseason that individually.

2404
02:00:39,640 --> 02:00:42,000
Speaker 2: Makes sense there's a lot of Things the bengals have

2405
02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:45,520
Speaker 2: done that don't. Make sense and if you want to

2406
02:00:45,600 --> 02:00:48,520
Speaker 2: give fans a perspective on what the team is doing

2407
02:00:48,640 --> 02:00:53,920
Speaker 2: or where, it's Going Then katie blackburn should be the

2408
02:00:54,000 --> 02:01:01,280
Speaker 2: one to speak to provide. That path not speaking to

2409
02:01:01,440 --> 02:01:06,280
Speaker 2: me is not a good Decision By katie blackburn And.

2410
02:01:06,360 --> 02:01:10,480
Speaker 2: The bengals the second thing it does is it requires your,

2411
02:01:10,520 --> 02:01:13,600
Speaker 2: Head Coach zach taylor to then be the one to

2412
02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:17,960
Speaker 2: have to answer to everything that you Would Assume katie

2413
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:21,640
Speaker 2: blackburn would be, answering to and one of those is

2414
02:01:21,720 --> 02:01:28,640
Speaker 2: the conversation. Around linebacker and in, many Ways As zach

2415
02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:34,320
Speaker 2: taylor said yesterday that he was really encouraged with the

2416
02:01:34,480 --> 02:01:39,960
Speaker 2: development of his linebacking Corps In demetrius Knight And barrett

2417
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:42,200
Speaker 2: carter last year and he also said, THAT quote i

2418
02:01:42,240 --> 02:01:46,680
Speaker 2: think we'll see another big jump. This, year this, To

2419
02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:50,919
Speaker 2: me drew is also AN issue i Have With katie blackburn,

2420
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:56,760
Speaker 2: not speaking is that it pushes This To zach taylor and, He,

2421
02:01:56,800 --> 02:01:59,160
Speaker 2: said look it doesn't mean we don't. Prioritize linebacker it

2422
02:01:59,280 --> 02:02:00,920
Speaker 2: just means at, the moment but the fit has been.

2423
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:04,680
Speaker 2: Somewhere else so we've identified that we're excited about the

2424
02:02:04,800 --> 02:02:06,920
Speaker 2: two young guys that played a lot of snaps for

2425
02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:10,040
Speaker 2: us and the development they're gonna continue. To see we're

2426
02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:12,320
Speaker 2: counting in a major way on.

2427
02:02:12,440 --> 02:02:12,600
Speaker 13: Those.

2428
02:02:12,640 --> 02:02:18,400
Speaker 2: GUYS one i don't agree with that stance. On linebacker

2429
02:02:18,440 --> 02:02:21,480
Speaker 2: but as the, Head, coach drew What Is zach taylor supposed, To,

2430
02:02:21,520 --> 02:02:24,560
Speaker 2: say no we don't believe in. Those, guys no We're

2431
02:02:24,560 --> 02:02:27,280
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna address. It elsewhere that should be a

2432
02:02:27,480 --> 02:02:30,120
Speaker 2: Question For duke Tobin And, katie blackburn not Something That

2433
02:02:30,320 --> 02:02:31,120
Speaker 2: zach taylor has to.

2434
02:02:31,200 --> 02:02:33,160
Speaker 3: Answer, for yeah and it feels like he has to

2435
02:02:33,240 --> 02:02:36,360
Speaker 3: answer for it way more than any other head coach should.

2436
02:02:36,360 --> 02:02:39,120
Speaker 3: Have to it, feels like, you KNOW and i can't

2437
02:02:39,160 --> 02:02:41,320
Speaker 3: speak for every team IN. THE nfl i don't follow

2438
02:02:41,680 --> 02:02:43,600
Speaker 3: every team IN the nfl as CLOSELY as, i follow,

2439
02:02:43,840 --> 02:02:46,200
Speaker 3: you Know The cleveland browns Or The, cincinnati bengals because

2440
02:02:46,200 --> 02:02:47,920
Speaker 3: one is the TEAM that i root for in one

2441
02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:50,000
Speaker 3: and the team pertains to the JOB that, I HAVE

2442
02:02:50,320 --> 02:02:53,000
Speaker 3: so i follow those two much closer than everybody else IN.

2443
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:55,760
Speaker 3: The nfl but it Feels Like zach taylor has asked

2444
02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:58,400
Speaker 3: a lot of questions that should be answered by the.

2445
02:02:58,480 --> 02:03:02,640
Speaker 3: Upper management and, you know and like, you said what's

2446
02:03:02,720 --> 02:03:06,000
Speaker 3: what do you expect him to Say About barrett Carter And? Matrious,

2447
02:03:06,040 --> 02:03:07,840
Speaker 3: knight yeah. Love him think they're going to take a

2448
02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:10,320
Speaker 3: big step in. Year two think they're, you know there,

2449
02:03:10,360 --> 02:03:12,920
Speaker 3: are guys, you know things that a coach, should say

2450
02:03:13,160 --> 02:03:15,600
Speaker 3: and he should say, those things and he probably, believes

2451
02:03:15,640 --> 02:03:19,120
Speaker 3: it even if, you know some fans don't and you

2452
02:03:19,200 --> 02:03:24,880
Speaker 3: know other rival, execs, Don't right but, but yeah it

2453
02:03:25,040 --> 02:03:27,480
Speaker 3: just feels like they Keep Putting zach taylor in these

2454
02:03:27,520 --> 02:03:29,560
Speaker 3: positions to where he is. The fig he is the

2455
02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:32,280
Speaker 3: head coach IN, the gm even though he's not making,

2456
02:03:32,320 --> 02:03:35,760
Speaker 3: the decisions he always has to answer for. Those decisions

2457
02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:39,560
Speaker 3: so it looks like he is making those decisions. For himself, so,

2458
02:03:40,320 --> 02:03:43,080
Speaker 3: UH yeah i Feel for zach when he gets put in,

2459
02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:45,880
Speaker 3: these positions and it feels like towards the end of

2460
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:49,480
Speaker 3: last season he started to get a little irritated by

2461
02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:52,960
Speaker 3: being put in, that position and, you know going into, a,

2462
02:03:53,080 --> 02:03:56,440
Speaker 3: massive massive massive year, for him you know as the,

2463
02:03:56,480 --> 02:03:59,160
Speaker 3: head coach, you know he kind of he survived the

2464
02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:02,880
Speaker 3: fire OF The afc north no pun intended there with

2465
02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:06,040
Speaker 3: all the coaches, you know being out now and he

2466
02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:10,560
Speaker 3: him the. Only returner so It'll, be uh it's Interesting

2467
02:04:10,600 --> 02:04:13,520
Speaker 3: In bengal land once again in the offseason and with,

2468
02:04:13,680 --> 02:04:16,480
Speaker 3: the draft, you know in the not so distant, future

2469
02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:19,400
Speaker 3: here it will be interesting to see what kind of

2470
02:04:19,760 --> 02:04:20,800
Speaker 3: Way the bengals want to.

2471
02:04:20,840 --> 02:04:23,720
Speaker 2: Take, it yeah and, to me it's it's going to

2472
02:04:24,520 --> 02:04:28,200
Speaker 2: to be the conversation around, the draft and We don't

2473
02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:29,920
Speaker 2: we're not gonna dominate because we're gonna have to get

2474
02:04:29,920 --> 02:04:31,480
Speaker 2: to a break here in. A MOMENT but i still

2475
02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:34,720
Speaker 2: feel like there's a scenario in. The draft i'm just

2476
02:04:34,840 --> 02:04:36,880
Speaker 2: not sold on On the bengals taking a corner at.

2477
02:04:36,960 --> 02:04:40,200
Speaker 2: Number TEN and i certainly, understand, them, well okay maybe

2478
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:44,440
Speaker 2: it's a trade. Down scenario I'm just i'm done with

2479
02:04:44,520 --> 02:04:47,400
Speaker 2: the narrative of the answer to a question being it's

2480
02:04:47,520 --> 02:04:50,000
Speaker 2: just not What the bengals do when you whenever you

2481
02:04:50,120 --> 02:04:53,000
Speaker 2: bring up, trade up the answer that is a resounding

2482
02:04:53,040 --> 02:04:55,720
Speaker 2: answer is it's just not what. They do i'd like

2483
02:04:55,800 --> 02:04:59,080
Speaker 2: this to see them buck, that trend because there is a,

2484
02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:03,080
Speaker 2: to me a world in Which the bengals picking at,

2485
02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:06,680
Speaker 2: Number Ten, Rvel Reese, sonny styles you could Even Throw,

2486
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:11,160
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Love, Ruben Bain caleb downs and others are all off,

2487
02:05:11,200 --> 02:05:13,640
Speaker 2: the board and then, you, say okay, Well ten then

2488
02:05:13,640 --> 02:05:15,880
Speaker 2: you're left in the. Same, scenario Well is corner the

2489
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:19,839
Speaker 2: biggest need for? This, team no but Man soor delaney

2490
02:05:19,880 --> 02:05:21,600
Speaker 2: at number ten is the. Best fit and then you're,

2491
02:05:21,640 --> 02:05:24,640
Speaker 2: drafting for, you know the best player instead of the.

2492
02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:27,040
Speaker 2: Biggest fit and there's a reality where you can. Have

2493
02:05:27,160 --> 02:05:29,880
Speaker 2: BOTH and i just keep coming back to the idea

2494
02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:33,400
Speaker 2: That The Kansas city chiefs have the, ninth pick and

2495
02:05:33,520 --> 02:05:35,800
Speaker 2: you are forever going to be tied to what can

2496
02:05:35,880 --> 02:05:37,760
Speaker 2: you get over? The hurdle even when they missed the playoffs,

2497
02:05:37,800 --> 02:05:39,440
Speaker 2: last year you still got to get Over The Kansas.

2498
02:05:39,440 --> 02:05:44,160
Speaker 2: City chiefs could this be the Year If sunny styles

2499
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:48,120
Speaker 2: is still available at say, number eight and you are

2500
02:05:48,240 --> 02:05:52,200
Speaker 2: so desperate and you so need a linebacker That the bengals, Could,

2501
02:05:52,200 --> 02:05:56,400
Speaker 2: say okay let's go to number eight in the draft

2502
02:05:57,400 --> 02:06:01,560
Speaker 2: and let's throw, out there let's say the tenth overall

2503
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:07,200
Speaker 2: pick and a seventh round pick in order to move up.

2504
02:06:07,280 --> 02:06:07,680
Speaker 3: Number ten?

2505
02:06:08,280 --> 02:06:12,920
Speaker 2: Why why why is that viewed? As well that's just

2506
02:06:13,080 --> 02:06:16,120
Speaker 2: not What the. Bengals do that, to me that has.

2507
02:06:16,280 --> 02:06:20,720
Speaker 2: To change if the narrative Around the bengals is going,

2508
02:06:20,760 --> 02:06:24,760
Speaker 2: to change then you have to change that. Thought, process

2509
02:06:24,840 --> 02:06:27,880
Speaker 2: Hey The New orleans saints pick, number eight let's give

2510
02:06:27,920 --> 02:06:29,680
Speaker 2: them our tenth pick and the seventh and a seventh,

2511
02:06:29,800 --> 02:06:32,680
Speaker 2: round pick and let's Go Get sunny styles because. He's

2512
02:06:32,680 --> 02:06:36,640
Speaker 2: available that has to at some point be Something the. Bengals,
