Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we're going to open up the phone lines
at five one three seven four nine seven thousand. Perhaps
you're Catholic, perhaps you're not, but we have a lot
of Catholics here in the Tri State area. Five one
three seven four nine seven thousand. I'm curious as to
your opinion on President Trump reacting to the comments made
(00:22):
by Pope Leo. Now, for those of you that don't know, uh,
Pope Leo has been highly critical of the United States
and its allies to a lesser extent, about this war
in Iran and the Pope's first Eastern mass He called
(00:43):
for those who have weapons to put them down and
for those who have the power to unleash war to
instead choose peace, not a piece imposed by force, but
through dialogue. Not with the desire to dominate others, but
to encounter them. Okay, that's what started this whole thing.
(01:07):
So in theory, and I'm expecting and hoping to hear
from you at five one three seven four nine seven thousand,
we're opening up the phone lines from now till late
thirty five one three seven four, nine seven thousand. In theory,
I mean, I think universally everybody, it doesn't matter what
your political bent is. Would agree with those comments made
(01:32):
at his first first Easter Mass in Rome. But in reality,
I think all of us know, due to this jaded
world that we live in, that that's not reality. It's
(01:52):
just not.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
President Donald Trump came out and criticized Pope Leo. He said, look,
Pope Leo is weak on crime, and he's bad for
foreign policy. He said, he talks about fear of my administration,
but doesn't he fear that the Catholic Church and all
(02:15):
other Christian organizations what they had during COVID when they
were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else for holding church services,
even when going outside for those services and demanding to
be ten and twenty feet apart. Trump went on to say, look,
(02:37):
I don't want to pope who thinks it's okay for
Iran to have a nuclear weapon. He says, I don't
want to pope who thinks it's terrible that America attacked Venezuela,
a country that was sending massive amounts of drugs into
the United States and killing people. A company country like
Venezuela who emptied their prisons and allowed all those people
(03:02):
from those prisons to come into our country. Now, Look,
the Pope is entitled to say whatever he wants to say,
and Trump is entitled to react however he wants to react. Okay, left,
right in the middle, makes no difference. But when was
the last time a pope came out and had things
(03:27):
to say about countries like Iran? But Iran specifically, who
is the unquestioned leader of state sponsored terrorism in the world.
They have killed tens of thousands of people around the
world with terrorism. When's the last time a pope came
(03:52):
out and made comments about that. You know, Look, there
are some of the things that just make you scratch
your head. Let's say Notre Dame as an example, which is,
without a doubt, the most high profile Catholic affiliated institution
(04:17):
of higher learning in America, perhaps the world. And let's
look what's happened just in the last handful of years
at Notre Dame. They recently fired a woman that they
had hired as a professor because other professors were livid
(04:37):
about this woman's pro abortion comments that went on for
years and years and years and years, and they said
it does not align with the Catholic face or the
principles that Notre Dame should stand for they fired the
woman before they ever hired her. Yet Notre Dame brought
(05:00):
in for a commencement speech President Barack Obama, who is
without question the most pro abortion president this country has
ever had. Is that not a contradiction in terms? And
(05:22):
all of this comes from Pope Leo, who of course
is American, is from Chicago, after he just recently met
with David Axelrod, one of the movers and shakers and
most powerful people in the Democratic Party. This whole thing
just doesn't add up. And Venezuela, they've been killing our
(05:46):
citizens in America for decades by running drugs in here.
I don't know. I'm curious what you think. Let's get
to Eric in Cincinnati. Eric, thanks for listening to the
Morning show. Good morning to you. Hope you're having a
good start to your Monday.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Great, Sorry, how are you?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I'm doing well? Thank you? What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I I don't agree with the pope at all and
having the let's talk it out. That goes back to
just like parenting. If you you don't parents your kids
and you don't discipline your kids fifteen years old, they're
gonna you know, the judge is going to discipline them Cincinnati.
(06:30):
All of the judges are are just giving slaps on
the wrist. You have to have strict consequences for actions.
Those Iran is killing thousands and thousands upon people over
the years, and finally we got a president with the
Gonads to.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Try to shut them down.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
You have to have consequences and these terrors. No, with
Barack Obama, he's a vagina. Uh that's whatever that last
president was.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
They could do whatever they wanted. Uh, there was gonna
be no consequences. If anything, we would just give them money.
You have to have consequences, and you know, the country.
It's about time the country has been ran like a
business versus let's make our politicians rich here.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You know the back four deals that they all do, yep.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And that happens on both sides in all fairness, I
mean the back room deals.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
It happens on all sides. Yes, yes, But I know
what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I know exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
How to get back to consequences, you know, yep, I
agree with what you say.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Country family.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Amen to that, Eric, Amen to that, Ruth, and thanks
for calling the program great to have you with us.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Good morning to you. What's on your mind, ruth Ann.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Thank you Tom, it's so good to hear you.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I agree with you everything you've said, and I think
we should just send a pope over there and see
how well he does negotiating. He thinks that it can
be negotiated. These leadership in Iran, I mean, they are
so they will never stop. They are just critical killers.
I mean they don't care. So people don't understand that.
(08:16):
That's a totally different attitude they have. They will go
to the death for what they believe. That's what they
want to do.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, the irony your spot on, Ruth Anne, and the
irony about the whole thing about the pope coming out
and laying into the president and the actions of the
president is simply this, if Iran were to get a
nuclear weapon exactly. I mean, I'm not so sure I
(08:44):
could be wrong on this. I mean, maybe you look
at the major cities like London, Paris, perhaps Berlin, but
right up there as far as places that they would
want to hit to just completely decimate Mariah would have
to be Rome. Because the Christian faith is everything that
(09:07):
the Iranians are against. They call us the great Satan,
and they call Israel the little Satan. So if President
Trump is trying to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons,
it seems to me that and by taking action against
doing that instead of just sending them a bunch of
money like Obama did, it seems to me that he
(09:29):
would be thankful in some form or fashion for that,
because you can rest assured that if they only had
four bombs that they can launch nuclear bombs, one of
those would be sent to Rome.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
That is right.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And I hadn't even thought about that, Tom. I would
think of, of course Israel first, and if they could
just if they could eventually just hit us, you know,
that would be wonderful to them to get a hit
every here someway. And then what about the North Korean guy?
I haven't heard much from him lately. No, No, it's
another problem.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well, there's no question about that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
But he seems crazy, like he's kind of taking the
foot off the throttle a little bit here.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Eight nineteen. Yeah, it seems that way.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, I don't know, but anyway, I know that they
can lie. According to the Koran the way I've listened
it three years on radio about them, they can lie
to the non believers, and you know.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
They're allowed to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
They will lie and they have no consequences to their
religious beliefs that way, And listen, Tom real quickly. Would
you ask Chuck if he got my birthday card?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I well, ask I mailed it early.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Okay, I mailed it early, but he was gone and
I had to go to the doctor that day that
I thought he'd get it, and it had a handicapped artist,
these beautiful ballerinas.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I'll ask him about it here in just a minute.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You're welcome. What's nik and coach real quick from Westchester?
Coach what's on your mind? Good morning, Good morning Tom.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Definitely miss you on baseball. Watch it now with the
round off.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Well, I appreciate it, thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
My take is the folk is saying what he's supposed
to say. That he's not the politician. He's not in
the president's hues. So if you want to include yourself
and the peace talks, he should have did it that
way seat of publicly coming out criticize it. The other
issue that I have is the same intel that we
use to say that Venezuela is the leading cause of
(11:25):
drugs and killing folks it's the same intail that we
dismissed when we found out that Putin was killing our truth,
aiding in the bed. So we can't play it on
both ends. The only other team he is Addiction is
a disease, but it's a disease by choice individuals getting
on it. There's no to make them go out and
(11:45):
jump into that. I mean, it's just me, prayer. We
need to be tensitive and he's not. Stick to your point.
If the Pope want to include himself in the conversation,
so be it. But he better make sure that he
timed someone on the Islam's side that's willing to do
the same thing because they don't view him the way
to view them.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's a great point, coach. I mean, it's a great point.
If if you want to come out and make a
comment about this, that's fine. He's allowed to do it.
The Pope can do whatever he wants to do. Look,
anybody can have an opinion on anything they want. Coach, you, me, anybody.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
But the only thing that I say, we just I'm
trying not to cut you off the time real quick,
is that I clearly give a role for Donald Trump.
But I'm saying he is the president. We have to support.
We have to support the office. We have to stand united.
When did we become the dividest states of America? We
look so weak. That's why everyone attacks es. If we
staying united, we have our opinions with it. We're for
(12:39):
our own private discussions, not so publicly coming out against
this is our president. I mean, there's no getting out
of it. How that he's not my president. Didn't leave
the country. I mean we got to stay in united
We were called the United States of America for a reason.
We can fix these days. I just say we just there,
support them. Let's get up, get ourselves stupid, and let's
(13:00):
just move on. Lead you back in baseball.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Hey, set, thank you, coach. I appreciate it. Thank you
very much. Great points you make, all three of you.
I appreciate you taking the time to pick up the
phone and call Chuck.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
You just heard.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
A second ago, Ruth Ann wanted to know if you
received her birthday card from you.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
From Adams County. I certainly did.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
He's got a special special spot in my collection at home. Absolutely,
and go even further the five dollars she can put
it into the envelope along with it.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I went ahead and made a donation too.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Very nice, Okay, she just wanted to make sure because
she said, I don't know if you heard her. She
said that she was out sick and was unable to
listen to the show, and then you went on vacation,
and so just want to clear that up.
Speaker 4 (13:44):

enjoy great weather. Now, look just a tire ribbon around
this whole discussion. The bottom line is the bottom line
on this whole thing is everybody's intelligence of their opinion.
I'm not defending one person over the other person, not
choosing the president over the pope or vice versa, just
(15:18):
asking can there be some consistency here? You can't bash
the United States, whoever the president is, and demanding peace
without a demanding those on the other side to sit
down to talk about real peace.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
We do it every Monday, Mondays with a Hall of
Famer Marty brennanman to talk about what's happened not only
in baseball read baseball, but life in general.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Well, good morning.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
You had quite an eventful weekend down at the Naval Academy.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yes, we did.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
We went to see a young lady who's very special
down there, Grace Cook, who's in our family. We consider
her a grandchild. She has gone has helped the razor
since she was two years old, and she is in
finishing her junior year at the Naval Academy.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
He's on the lacrosse team.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Who went down and watched the Navy play the Army
in a lacrosse game on Tuesday on a Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
And we came out on top right.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Beat him to death fourteen to eight.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
They were behind an Army scored with nine seconds gone
in the game and went up eventually three to one,
and then Navy ran off eleven.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Straight goals before Army scored again. It was an impressive game.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Tail kicking it was, Yes, it was.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
And then the main time the men played up at
West Point at two thirty that Saturday afternoon. The girls
played in Annapolis at noon and the.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Army beat the Navy and the men's game.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Okay, split, all right, all right, Well the one you saw,
they got a winner, so that's all that matters, thanks
to Grace exactly. Absolutely. Let's talk about the Reds now.
Everybody knows they're nine and seven.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Everybody knows about the offense, which we'll get to in
a minute, but everybody talks about the strength of this
team being its starting rotation. The last five games going
into today's off gay, the charters already combined zero to four,
an urn Right average of over ten.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
In that stretch.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Chase Burns and rut Luder are the only two that
even got into the sixth inning. Andrew Abbott, Brady Singer,
Brandon Williamson didn't even make it through the fifth inning.
Are you concerned? Let's start with Andrew Abbott. He had
a terrible spring coming off an All Star year. Everybody
kind of writes it off because it's spring training. He
(18:08):
had a good opening day since, and he's not been
so good. Are you concerned?
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Yeah, I'm concerned. Absolutely. Anybody says they're not crazy. I mean,
I don't care how good he's been in the past,
and that put him in a position of favoritism, which
it should have you know, when when Hunter Green went down.
Absolutely Aboad should have gotten the ball on opening day
based on last year and right as far as I
(18:35):
was concerned, he deserved to be the.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Opening day pitcher period.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
However, as you said that, he did not have one
good start in spring training, I don't care what they say.
I don't care what Derrick Johnson says, what Tito says.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, you know, he's.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
He's working on things, and he had better rotation on
his pitch on this in this particular game.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
The bottom line is the bottom line in the bottom
line to this kid is not good at all.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
So yeah, I would be very concerned about trying.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
To figure out a way to get him straightened out
as quickly as possible. And you're right, the starting pitching
has been brutal of late. Am I overly concerned, Not really,
because I think these guys will come around and pitch
the way they're capable of pitching. At the same time,
you've got to deal with the now aspect of this
situation and the combination of poor starting pitching and an
(19:27):
inf offense and all of a sudden, the last couple
of days, the defense has gone so south. I mean,
right now, they're going through a bad period and they
got to figure out a way to get it straightened out.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Look totally transparent. I did some work for the guys
over at Chatterbox Sports. They're based out of Hamilton now.
They're Chatterbox Reds show hosted by Trace Fowler and Nick Kirby.
Believe It or Not is one of the most five
most popular baseball only podcast in the United States of
(19:59):
a America. A lot of people watch that podcast, and
Trace Fowler went into a rage about the current state
of the Reds outfield, not wanting to hear anymore about
good clubhouse guys are going to come around all this
kind of thing. The Reds outfield right now, Dad, is
a disaster from an offensive standpoint, How long do you
(20:23):
think Francona and or Nick Crawl continue to watch this.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
That's a very good question, and it's a very insightful
concern brought up by Chase because he's one hundred percent right.
They're not getting any production out of anybody in that
outfield offensively. Defensively, it's it's okay. That's all it is.
Is okay defensively, But I don't know if you're going
(20:52):
to if you're going to deal with all three as one,
because nobody. I think maybe Spencer stear is starting to
come around a little bit. We've seen better contacts in
a couple of home runs, and we know he's a
better hitter.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Friedel is not.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Hitting his weight in right field and makes no difference
who they play out there, Will Benson or noelvi Marte
makes no difference. Neither one of them are producing at all.
You don't have enough outfield depth to take care of
It's easy to say, but at the same time, there
is no answer because you don't have three guys. We
can plug the club can plug in there and say
(21:30):
this is going to be an improvement. Now you've got
the kid down in Louisville who's just absolutely destroying the baseball.
I don't understand why there is so much reluctance right
now to bring him up here, resigns and play him
every day.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I had a very very very good former.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
Rich player tell me, if you bring him up here,
you have.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
To play him.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
You can't bring him up here based on what he's
done in Louisville playing every day and sit him on
the bench and give him two starts a week, got
the plane, and so I don't know what they're waiting on.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
They saw enough.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
This kid was just sensational in the spring training, I
mean sensational. And so now he goes to Louisville and
he proves that what he did in Arizona was no blue.
So sooner or later, they've got to figure out a
way to get just say, you know what, we've waited
long enough. Now he's coming up here. We're going to
put him in right field. We're going to play him
every single day. But how you replace three of them?
(22:27):
There is no answer for that.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Well, you know, I kind of look at the you know,
the Benson slash Marte thing on slightly different planets here. Benson,
we've seen Benson for three or four or five years now,
I mean, he is what he is. He is not
an everyday player in the major leagues. Yet he's still
getting three four starts a week. Marte, on the other hand,
(22:53):
we've seen him really really really good. Right now he's
really really really bad. But I kind of feel like,
I'm here is your opinion. You know, the comment you
just made about Hines. If you're going to bring him
up here, you got to play him every day. Well,
I mean, I wonder if Marte was playing more, if
he wouldn't start to hit him, because if nothing else,
nothing else. One thing Marte has proven through his minor
(23:17):
league career and an extended stretches with the Reds of
the big league level, including last year, is that when
he plays, he has always been a good hitter. But
how can he get into any kind of groove if
you're starting two days a week.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Well, I don't disagree with that, that part of it
I do agree on. But at the same time, here's
a kid who you know, was converted to an outfielder
last year, and then you know, he went through some
trials and tribulations learning how to play the position, all
the facets and going to making a good outfielder, and
(23:53):
he showed signs of improving regularly. The season ends and
they want him to go play ball and continue to
work on.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
His outfield and he refused to go.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
He did not play winter ball, did not play one
single inning of winter ball last spring, our last winter,
and then came into spring training and looked like he
had never played the outfield before for the first a
week to ten days before things started to come around
a little bit, so I think that you know, he
did not set a very good example in terms of
(24:27):
what the club wanted as opposed to whatever the reason
that he had for not playing winter ball. Yes, he
showed great signs last year, but again we're dealing with
and now a part of this deal. We're not dealing
with what we saw last year, and they played him
quite a bit. I agree they're not playing him every
day because they still try to make determination on Will Benson,
(24:48):
who I agree, as much as I'd love to see
this kid really take off and prove that he deserves
to be up here and play every day, has not
done a whole lot to help himself.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
All right, a couple of topics to get off of
baseball for a minute. But we did not have you
on since North Carolina, You're alma mater, named a new
basketball coach. They bring in coach Malone, who was in
the NBA was recently let go, and there was a
lot of talk about a lot of guys. His name
was not one of them that we heard anything about.
(25:20):
Your thoughts on that hire at North Carolina.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Well, I think under the circumstances, I think it's a
great hire. I think the guy based on what other
people have said since the hiring was made, I've not
seen one negative comment from other.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
People in the game of basketball.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Jay billis former Carolina Great players, an Twine Jamison being
one of them people that cross paths with him.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
In the NBA.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
I think it probably will end up being a very
very good choice. But the fact of the matter is,
you know, all these people that drink the kool aid
down there, and I don't drink the kool aid, say
you know, this was the greatest hire of all time.
You're the same clowns that said, you know, you wanted
Billy Donovan, or you wanted Dusty may or you wanted whoever,
(26:15):
and Tommy Lloyd nobody for whatever the reason that they
couldn't get those guys, and so they settled on Mike Malone.
I think Malone will be a great coach for this club.
I really believe that he has the ability to recruit.
He's hired one of the best recruiters in the United
States and Chuck Martin, and so I'm not disappointed that
(26:36):
they have him, But the circumstances around which they had
to go get him, it is a little bit disturbing
because as much as you want to say, and I
do because I went to school there, that this continues
to be one of the blue bloods of college basketball,
right now it's not. And now they've got to rebuild
(26:57):
what has been a great, great program under Fright maguire
and Dean Smith and Roy Williams and prove that they
can once again be back to where they once were,
because right now they're not.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I know you were busy a lot of the weekend.
I don't know how much of the Masters you had
a chance to watch, maybe a lot of what amount
the time he got yesterday. You know what, I know
there are a lot of people that, you know, they
root for an American to win that thing. I found
myself rooting for a couple of those young guys that
were in the hunt for a while yesterday, Burns and
Young and that kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
I'm not so sure that McElroy.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You know, if somebody would have put together a big
time run that was really within reason close enough to
get him, they could have got him. But at the
end of the day, hey to join Nick Faldo, Jack
Nicholas and Tiger Woods as he only four back to
back champions. That's saying an awful lot about Rory McElroy.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Well, I'm a big fan of Rory McElroy. I was
not disappointed that he won the tournament and when made
it back to back wins.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I think the guy is classy. I think he.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Carries him up and represents the game that he plays
internationally as well as anybody could possibly do it. The
guy that I was pulling for if he was going
to be caught, and obviously he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
With Jason Day, who.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
As far as I know, still resides in Columbus, Ohio,
and he was he was one of the guys going
into the final round.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
And then fell back.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
But I had no problem whatsoever would with Rory McElroy
winning the thing yesterday. I thought it was a great finish.
I thought I wanted to see a little bit more
excitement going into, you know.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
The last three or four holes, But you're right, nobody
made a run at him.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
Scheffler was the one guy that I thought, well, here
we go again, you know, because he made a real charge,
but at the end he couldn't pull it off, finishing
by one shot. I was happy Rory McElroy won the
Masters for the second straight years.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, it was pretty cool when they started telling the
whole story, and they've told him before, but it was
it was cool to hear it again about being an
only child, and how his dad worked at that golf club,
and they had cameras set up inside of that golf
club in his homeland, and all the people back there
root and for him and his mom and dad both there.
It's always cool when you see the parents there. Especially,
it sounded like they may not have, you know, made
(29:16):
the most money in the world, but they did everything
they could to help support their son.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Well.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
I think Jim Nance made the point that both of
his parents worked two jobs each in order to fund,
you know, their son's ability to move forward and play
the game at the manner in which he's now playing it. No,
I thought it was sensational, and I give CBS a
lot of credit because they focused a lot on his
mom and dad. And I tell you another thing this
(29:45):
cool time is the guys that hang around after they
finished playing and congratulated him for winning. That's an indication that,
you know, he is very very well liked on the tour.
I thank god he not a jerk. I'd have a
hard time for working rooting for somebody that alienated everybody
he came in contact with, like a Phil Nicholson or
(30:08):
a Patrick Reid or somebody like that.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
But you're right, and the human.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Interest part of it, I bove CBS handled very very well.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, they did nance's top flight on the golf. There's
no two years, no question, no doubt about it. All right, well,
I enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks for the
time as always, and we'll catch up again next Monday.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
All right, pal, thank all right, have a good day.

fifty five seven hundred WLW Cincinnati,
All right, we're going to open up the phone lines
at five one three seven four nine seven thousand. Perhaps
you're Catholic, perhaps you're not, but we have a lot
of Catholics here in the Tri State area. Five one
three seven four nine seven thousand. I'm curious as to
your opinion on President Trump reacting to the comments made
(00:22):
by Pope Leo. Now, for those of you that don't know, uh,
Pope Leo has been highly critical of the United States
and its allies to a lesser extent, about this war
in Iran and the Pope's first Eastern mass He called
(00:43):
for those who have weapons to put them down and
for those who have the power to unleash war to
instead choose peace, not a piece imposed by force, but
through dialogue. Not with the desire to dominate others, but
to encounter them. Okay, that's what started this whole thing.
(01:07):
So in theory, and I'm expecting and hoping to hear
from you at five one three seven four nine seven thousand,
we're opening up the phone lines from now till late
thirty five one three seven four, nine seven thousand. In theory,
I mean, I think universally everybody, it doesn't matter what
your political bent is. Would agree with those comments made
(01:32):
at his first first Easter Mass in Rome. But in reality,
I think all of us know, due to this jaded
world that we live in, that that's not reality. It's
(01:52):
just not.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
President Donald Trump came out and criticized Pope Leo. He said, look,
Pope Leo is weak on crime, and he's bad for
foreign policy. He said, he talks about fear of my administration,
but doesn't he fear that the Catholic Church and all
(02:15):
other Christian organizations what they had during COVID when they
were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else for holding church services,
even when going outside for those services and demanding to
be ten and twenty feet apart. Trump went on to say, look,
(02:37):
I don't want to pope who thinks it's okay for
Iran to have a nuclear weapon. He says, I don't
want to pope who thinks it's terrible that America attacked Venezuela,
a country that was sending massive amounts of drugs into
the United States and killing people. A company country like
Venezuela who emptied their prisons and allowed all those people
(03:02):
from those prisons to come into our country. Now, Look,
the Pope is entitled to say whatever he wants to say,
and Trump is entitled to react however he wants to react. Okay, left,
right in the middle, makes no difference. But when was
the last time a pope came out and had things
(03:27):
to say about countries like Iran? But Iran specifically, who
is the unquestioned leader of state sponsored terrorism in the world.
They have killed tens of thousands of people around the
world with terrorism. When's the last time a pope came
(03:52):
out and made comments about that. You know, Look, there
are some of the things that just make you scratch
your head. Let's say Notre Dame as an example, which is,
without a doubt, the most high profile Catholic affiliated institution
(04:17):
of higher learning in America, perhaps the world. And let's
look what's happened just in the last handful of years
at Notre Dame. They recently fired a woman that they
had hired as a professor because other professors were livid
(04:37):
about this woman's pro abortion comments that went on for
years and years and years and years, and they said
it does not align with the Catholic face or the
principles that Notre Dame should stand for they fired the
woman before they ever hired her. Yet Notre Dame brought
(05:00):
in for a commencement speech President Barack Obama, who is
without question the most pro abortion president this country has
ever had. Is that not a contradiction in terms? And
(05:22):
all of this comes from Pope Leo, who of course
is American, is from Chicago, after he just recently met
with David Axelrod, one of the movers and shakers and
most powerful people in the Democratic Party. This whole thing
just doesn't add up. And Venezuela, they've been killing our
(05:46):
citizens in America for decades by running drugs in here.
I don't know. I'm curious what you think. Let's get
to Eric in Cincinnati. Eric, thanks for listening to the
Morning show. Good morning to you. Hope you're having a
good start to your Monday.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Great, Sorry, how are you?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I'm doing well? Thank you? What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I I don't agree with the pope at all and
having the let's talk it out. That goes back to
just like parenting. If you you don't parents your kids
and you don't discipline your kids fifteen years old, they're
gonna you know, the judge is going to discipline them Cincinnati.
(06:30):
All of the judges are are just giving slaps on
the wrist. You have to have strict consequences for actions.
Those Iran is killing thousands and thousands upon people over
the years, and finally we got a president with the
Gonads to.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Try to shut them down.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
You have to have consequences and these terrors. No, with
Barack Obama, he's a vagina. Uh that's whatever that last
president was.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
They could do whatever they wanted. Uh, there was gonna
be no consequences. If anything, we would just give them money.
You have to have consequences, and you know, the country.
It's about time the country has been ran like a
business versus let's make our politicians rich here.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You know the back four deals that they all do, yep.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And that happens on both sides in all fairness, I
mean the back room deals.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
It happens on all sides. Yes, yes, But I know
what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I know exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
How to get back to consequences, you know, yep, I
agree with what you say.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Country family.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Amen to that, Eric, Amen to that, Ruth, and thanks
for calling the program great to have you with us.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Good morning to you. What's on your mind, ruth Ann.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Thank you Tom, it's so good to hear you.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I agree with you everything you've said, and I think
we should just send a pope over there and see
how well he does negotiating. He thinks that it can
be negotiated. These leadership in Iran, I mean, they are
so they will never stop. They are just critical killers.
I mean they don't care. So people don't understand that.
(08:16):
That's a totally different attitude they have. They will go
to the death for what they believe. That's what they
want to do.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, the irony your spot on, Ruth Anne, and the
irony about the whole thing about the pope coming out
and laying into the president and the actions of the
president is simply this, if Iran were to get a
nuclear weapon exactly. I mean, I'm not so sure I
(08:44):
could be wrong on this. I mean, maybe you look
at the major cities like London, Paris, perhaps Berlin, but
right up there as far as places that they would
want to hit to just completely decimate Mariah would have
to be Rome. Because the Christian faith is everything that
(09:07):
the Iranians are against. They call us the great Satan,
and they call Israel the little Satan. So if President
Trump is trying to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons,
it seems to me that and by taking action against
doing that instead of just sending them a bunch of
money like Obama did, it seems to me that he
(09:29):
would be thankful in some form or fashion for that,
because you can rest assured that if they only had
four bombs that they can launch nuclear bombs, one of
those would be sent to Rome.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
That is right.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And I hadn't even thought about that, Tom. I would
think of, of course Israel first, and if they could
just if they could eventually just hit us, you know,
that would be wonderful to them to get a hit
every here someway. And then what about the North Korean guy?
I haven't heard much from him lately. No, No, it's
another problem.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well, there's no question about that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
But he seems crazy, like he's kind of taking the
foot off the throttle a little bit here.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Eight nineteen. Yeah, it seems that way.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, I don't know, but anyway, I know that they
can lie. According to the Koran the way I've listened
it three years on radio about them, they can lie
to the non believers, and you know.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
They're allowed to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
They will lie and they have no consequences to their
religious beliefs that way, And listen, Tom real quickly. Would
you ask Chuck if he got my birthday card?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I well, ask I mailed it early.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Okay, I mailed it early, but he was gone and
I had to go to the doctor that day that
I thought he'd get it, and it had a handicapped artist,
these beautiful ballerinas.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I'll ask him about it here in just a minute.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You're welcome. What's nik and coach real quick from Westchester?
Coach what's on your mind? Good morning, Good morning Tom.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Definitely miss you on baseball. Watch it now with the
round off.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Well, I appreciate it, thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
My take is the folk is saying what he's supposed
to say. That he's not the politician. He's not in
the president's hues. So if you want to include yourself
and the peace talks, he should have did it that
way seat of publicly coming out criticize it. The other
issue that I have is the same intel that we
use to say that Venezuela is the leading cause of
(11:25):
drugs and killing folks it's the same intail that we
dismissed when we found out that Putin was killing our truth,
aiding in the bed. So we can't play it on
both ends. The only other team he is Addiction is
a disease, but it's a disease by choice individuals getting
on it. There's no to make them go out and
(11:45):
jump into that. I mean, it's just me, prayer. We
need to be tensitive and he's not. Stick to your point.
If the Pope want to include himself in the conversation,
so be it. But he better make sure that he
timed someone on the Islam's side that's willing to do
the same thing because they don't view him the way
to view them.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's a great point, coach. I mean, it's a great point.
If if you want to come out and make a
comment about this, that's fine. He's allowed to do it.
The Pope can do whatever he wants to do. Look,
anybody can have an opinion on anything they want. Coach, you, me, anybody.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
But the only thing that I say, we just I'm
trying not to cut you off the time real quick,
is that I clearly give a role for Donald Trump.
But I'm saying he is the president. We have to support.
We have to support the office. We have to stand united.
When did we become the dividest states of America? We
look so weak. That's why everyone attacks es. If we
staying united, we have our opinions with it. We're for
(12:39):
our own private discussions, not so publicly coming out against
this is our president. I mean, there's no getting out
of it. How that he's not my president. Didn't leave
the country. I mean we got to stay in united
We were called the United States of America for a reason.
We can fix these days. I just say we just there,
support them. Let's get up, get ourselves stupid, and let's
(13:00):
just move on. Lead you back in baseball.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Hey, set, thank you, coach. I appreciate it. Thank you
very much. Great points you make, all three of you.
I appreciate you taking the time to pick up the
phone and call Chuck.
Speaker 4 (13:11):

Speaker 4 (13:32):
I went ahead and made a donation too.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Very nice, Okay, she just wanted to make sure because
she said, I don't know if you heard her. She
said that she was out sick and was unable to
listen to the show, and then you went on vacation,
and so just want to clear that up.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Well, good morning.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
You had quite an eventful weekend down at the Naval Academy.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yes, we did.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
We went to see a young lady who's very special
down there, Grace Cook, who's in our family. We consider
her a grandchild. She has gone has helped the razor
since she was two years old, and she is in
finishing her junior year at the Naval Academy.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
He's on the lacrosse team.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Who went down and watched the Navy play the Army
in a lacrosse game on Tuesday on a Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
And we came out on top right.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Beat him to death fourteen to eight.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
They were behind an Army scored with nine seconds gone
in the game and went up eventually three to one,
and then Navy ran off eleven.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Straight goals before Army scored again. It was an impressive game.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Tail kicking it was, Yes, it was.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
And then the main time the men played up at
West Point at two thirty that Saturday afternoon. The girls
played in Annapolis at noon and the.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Army beat the Navy and the men's game.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Okay, split, all right, all right, Well the one you saw,
they got a winner, so that's all that matters, thanks
to Grace exactly. Absolutely. Let's talk about the Reds now.
Everybody knows they're nine and seven.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Everybody knows about the offense, which we'll get to in
a minute, but everybody talks about the strength of this
team being its starting rotation. The last five games going
into today's off gay, the charters already combined zero to four,
an urn Right average of over ten.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
In that stretch.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Chase Burns and rut Luder are the only two that
even got into the sixth inning. Andrew Abbott, Brady Singer,
Brandon Williamson didn't even make it through the fifth inning.
Are you concerned? Let's start with Andrew Abbott. He had
a terrible spring coming off an All Star year. Everybody
kind of writes it off because it's spring training. He
(18:08):
had a good opening day since, and he's not been
so good. Are you concerned?
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Yeah, I'm concerned. Absolutely. Anybody says they're not crazy. I mean,
I don't care how good he's been in the past,
and that put him in a position of favoritism, which
it should have you know, when when Hunter Green went down.
Absolutely Aboad should have gotten the ball on opening day
based on last year and right as far as I
(18:35):
was concerned, he deserved to be the.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Opening day pitcher period.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
However, as you said that, he did not have one
good start in spring training, I don't care what they say.
I don't care what Derrick Johnson says, what Tito says.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, you know, he's.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
He's working on things, and he had better rotation on
his pitch on this in this particular game.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
The bottom line is the bottom line in the bottom
line to this kid is not good at all.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
So yeah, I would be very concerned about trying.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
To figure out a way to get him straightened out
as quickly as possible. And you're right, the starting pitching
has been brutal of late. Am I overly concerned, Not really,
because I think these guys will come around and pitch
the way they're capable of pitching. At the same time,
you've got to deal with the now aspect of this
situation and the combination of poor starting pitching and an
(19:27):
inf offense and all of a sudden, the last couple
of days, the defense has gone so south. I mean,
right now, they're going through a bad period and they
got to figure out a way to get it straightened out.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Look totally transparent. I did some work for the guys
over at Chatterbox Sports. They're based out of Hamilton now.
They're Chatterbox Reds show hosted by Trace Fowler and Nick Kirby.
Believe It or Not is one of the most five
most popular baseball only podcast in the United States of
(19:59):
a America. A lot of people watch that podcast, and
Trace Fowler went into a rage about the current state
of the Reds outfield, not wanting to hear anymore about
good clubhouse guys are going to come around all this
kind of thing. The Reds outfield right now, Dad, is
a disaster from an offensive standpoint, How long do you
(20:23):
think Francona and or Nick Crawl continue to watch this.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
That's a very good question, and it's a very insightful
concern brought up by Chase because he's one hundred percent right.
They're not getting any production out of anybody in that
outfield offensively. Defensively, it's it's okay. That's all it is.
Is okay defensively, But I don't know if you're going
(20:52):
to if you're going to deal with all three as one,
because nobody. I think maybe Spencer stear is starting to
come around a little bit. We've seen better contacts in
a couple of home runs, and we know he's a
better hitter.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Friedel is not.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Hitting his weight in right field and makes no difference
who they play out there, Will Benson or noelvi Marte
makes no difference. Neither one of them are producing at all.
You don't have enough outfield depth to take care of
It's easy to say, but at the same time, there
is no answer because you don't have three guys. We
can plug the club can plug in there and say
(21:30):
this is going to be an improvement. Now you've got
the kid down in Louisville who's just absolutely destroying the baseball.
I don't understand why there is so much reluctance right
now to bring him up here, resigns and play him
every day.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I had a very very very good former.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
Rich player tell me, if you bring him up here,
you have.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
To play him.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
You can't bring him up here based on what he's
done in Louisville playing every day and sit him on
the bench and give him two starts a week, got
the plane, and so I don't know what they're waiting on.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
They saw enough.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
This kid was just sensational in the spring training, I
mean sensational. And so now he goes to Louisville and
he proves that what he did in Arizona was no blue.
So sooner or later, they've got to figure out a
way to get just say, you know what, we've waited
long enough. Now he's coming up here. We're going to
put him in right field. We're going to play him
every single day. But how you replace three of them?
(22:27):
There is no answer for that.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Well, you know, I kind of look at the you know,
the Benson slash Marte thing on slightly different planets here. Benson,
we've seen Benson for three or four or five years now,
I mean, he is what he is. He is not
an everyday player in the major leagues. Yet he's still
getting three four starts a week. Marte, on the other hand,
(22:53):
we've seen him really really really good. Right now he's
really really really bad. But I kind of feel like,
I'm here is your opinion. You know, the comment you
just made about Hines. If you're going to bring him
up here, you got to play him every day. Well,
I mean, I wonder if Marte was playing more, if
he wouldn't start to hit him, because if nothing else,
nothing else. One thing Marte has proven through his minor
(23:17):
league career and an extended stretches with the Reds of
the big league level, including last year, is that when
he plays, he has always been a good hitter. But
how can he get into any kind of groove if
you're starting two days a week.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Well, I don't disagree with that, that part of it
I do agree on. But at the same time, here's
a kid who you know, was converted to an outfielder
last year, and then you know, he went through some
trials and tribulations learning how to play the position, all
the facets and going to making a good outfielder, and
(23:53):
he showed signs of improving regularly. The season ends and
they want him to go play ball and continue to
work on.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
His outfield and he refused to go.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
He did not play winter ball, did not play one
single inning of winter ball last spring, our last winter,
and then came into spring training and looked like he
had never played the outfield before for the first a
week to ten days before things started to come around
a little bit, so I think that you know, he
did not set a very good example in terms of
(24:27):
what the club wanted as opposed to whatever the reason
that he had for not playing winter ball. Yes, he
showed great signs last year, but again we're dealing with
and now a part of this deal. We're not dealing
with what we saw last year, and they played him
quite a bit. I agree they're not playing him every
day because they still try to make determination on Will Benson,
(24:48):
who I agree, as much as I'd love to see
this kid really take off and prove that he deserves
to be up here and play every day, has not
done a whole lot to help himself.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
All right, a couple of topics to get off of
baseball for a minute. But we did not have you
on since North Carolina, You're alma mater, named a new
basketball coach. They bring in coach Malone, who was in
the NBA was recently let go, and there was a
lot of talk about a lot of guys. His name
was not one of them that we heard anything about.
(25:20):
Your thoughts on that hire at North Carolina.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Well, I think under the circumstances, I think it's a
great hire. I think the guy based on what other
people have said since the hiring was made, I've not
seen one negative comment from other.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
People in the game of basketball.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Jay billis former Carolina Great players, an Twine Jamison being
one of them people that cross paths with him.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
In the NBA.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
I think it probably will end up being a very
very good choice. But the fact of the matter is,
you know, all these people that drink the kool aid
down there, and I don't drink the kool aid, say
you know, this was the greatest hire of all time.
You're the same clowns that said, you know, you wanted
Billy Donovan, or you wanted Dusty may or you wanted whoever,
(26:15):
and Tommy Lloyd nobody for whatever the reason that they
couldn't get those guys, and so they settled on Mike Malone.
I think Malone will be a great coach for this club.
I really believe that he has the ability to recruit.
He's hired one of the best recruiters in the United
States and Chuck Martin, and so I'm not disappointed that
(26:36):
they have him, But the circumstances around which they had
to go get him, it is a little bit disturbing
because as much as you want to say, and I
do because I went to school there, that this continues
to be one of the blue bloods of college basketball,
right now it's not. And now they've got to rebuild
(26:57):
what has been a great, great program under Fright maguire
and Dean Smith and Roy Williams and prove that they
can once again be back to where they once were,
because right now they're not.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I know you were busy a lot of the weekend.
I don't know how much of the Masters you had
a chance to watch, maybe a lot of what amount
the time he got yesterday. You know what, I know
there are a lot of people that, you know, they
root for an American to win that thing. I found
myself rooting for a couple of those young guys that
were in the hunt for a while yesterday, Burns and
Young and that kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
I'm not so sure that McElroy.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You know, if somebody would have put together a big
time run that was really within reason close enough to
get him, they could have got him. But at the
end of the day, hey to join Nick Faldo, Jack
Nicholas and Tiger Woods as he only four back to
back champions. That's saying an awful lot about Rory McElroy.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Well, I'm a big fan of Rory McElroy. I was
not disappointed that he won the tournament and when made
it back to back wins.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I think the guy is classy. I think he.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Carries him up and represents the game that he plays
internationally as well as anybody could possibly do it. The
guy that I was pulling for if he was going
to be caught, and obviously he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
With Jason Day, who.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
As far as I know, still resides in Columbus, Ohio,
and he was he was one of the guys going
into the final round.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
And then fell back.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
But I had no problem whatsoever would with Rory McElroy
winning the thing yesterday. I thought it was a great finish.
I thought I wanted to see a little bit more
excitement going into, you know.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
The last three or four holes, But you're right, nobody
made a run at him.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
Scheffler was the one guy that I thought, well, here
we go again, you know, because he made a real charge,
but at the end he couldn't pull it off, finishing
by one shot. I was happy Rory McElroy won the
Masters for the second straight years.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, it was pretty cool when they started telling the
whole story, and they've told him before, but it was
it was cool to hear it again about being an
only child, and how his dad worked at that golf club,
and they had cameras set up inside of that golf
club in his homeland, and all the people back there
root and for him and his mom and dad both there.
It's always cool when you see the parents there. Especially,
it sounded like they may not have, you know, made
(29:16):
the most money in the world, but they did everything
they could to help support their son.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Well.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
I think Jim Nance made the point that both of
his parents worked two jobs each in order to fund,
you know, their son's ability to move forward and play
the game at the manner in which he's now playing it. No,
I thought it was sensational, and I give CBS a
lot of credit because they focused a lot on his
mom and dad. And I tell you another thing this
(29:45):
cool time is the guys that hang around after they
finished playing and congratulated him for winning. That's an indication that,
you know, he is very very well liked on the tour.
I thank god he not a jerk. I'd have a
hard time for working rooting for somebody that alienated everybody
he came in contact with, like a Phil Nicholson or
(30:08):
a Patrick Reid or somebody like that.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
But you're right, and the human.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Interest part of it, I bove CBS handled very very well.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, they did nance's top flight on the golf. There's
no two years, no question, no doubt about it. All right, well,
I enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks for the
time as always, and we'll catch up again next Monday.
