Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tardy, Imboegger, thank you so much for listening today. It's
Opening Day Eve tomorrow is the best day of the year.
Tommy Thraw will begin this is hard believe, year six
as the voice of the Reds. Kind enough on his
final day off before he gets set for the big
one sixty two. I can't thank you enough for doing this.
(00:20):
What sort of things are going through your head as
you get ready for Opening Day?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You know, just I think pure excitement about this season.
It's the most excited I've been for a season maybe
that I can remember, you know, going into the twenty
twenty season, I had a lot of optimism for that
year and then COVID hit and everything changed. Outside of that,
I mean, this is this is a very exciting young group.
(00:46):
I'm excited about the pitching staff. I'm fired up about
Ellie's next year, you know, of development where his career goes.
So there's just a lot to be excited about coming
into this season. And that's not to mention having Matt
McClain back this year and what this season could mean
for him. And you know, if he has a big year,
(01:07):
how does that impact the rest of the lineup, The
rest of this team, and what kind of an impact
does that have on Ellie. Those are all kinds of
things that I'm kind of thinking about going into tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You were kind enough to join us right before the
first Cactus League broadcast. From then to now, what have
you learned about this club?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You know, I think one of the biggest question marks
I have going into the season is what's the bullpen
going to be? Like? I was kind of optimistic going
into spring about the bullpen, But at the same time,
you know, as we say, when players have really good springs,
don't get too wrapped up in the results. But some
of the guys, some of the veteran guys that this
(01:46):
team is expecting to count on, struggle a little bit
in the spring. So that's one of those things that
I kind of watch coming into the season and think,
was that just spring training or is it gonna take
a little while for some of these guys get going.
So that was one of the things. Another thing I
learned is that the approach of this team offensively seems
(02:07):
to be much improved over last year. And Jeff and
I talked about it a little bit during the game
last night. It's one of those things where, again, it's
spring training, so he tried not to make too much
out of it, but we saw Ellie go the other
way a lot and at times with some serious authority.
There was a bat that he had even last night
where he takes a base hit the other way with
the left side kind of opened up for him instead
(02:29):
of trying to pull a ball and hit it a mile.
So it was it was a really nice swing. It
was a good approach, and we've seen that kind of
up and down the lineup for guys all spring long.
I know that was going to be a point of
emphasis for this team and this coaching staff coming into
the season is having guys going to the plate with
a plan, with an approach, and we've seen it at times,
(02:50):
and if it carries over into the season, it's going
to be a really fun brand of baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I was kind of gonna go there next because I
was listening to you and Jeff, and this was early
in spring and you were talking about the impact of
Chris Valka, the new hitting coach, and and his his
approach is you know, yeah, we got to cut down
on strikeouts. We we can't swing and miss it strike three,
but we've really got to attack. Why we're getting two
strike three right, and so that's that's about not getting
(03:16):
two strikes on you. And to me, that strikes me
is you know, you know, gonna do a better job
of being aggressive, hitting early in the count. How much
of that did you see when watching these hitters in
the Cactus League.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, I think it's just the product of that approach
is kind of what we saw. I think it is.
If you get your pitch early in the abat, don't
be passive, go after it. Try try to avoid that,
like you said, getting to the point where you've got
two strikes on it, you're still gonna It's still gonna happen, right.
I mean, it's just it's kind of one of those
things where, you know, I like it a little bit
(03:50):
to golf. You can go to the go to the
t box and say, all right, I'm not gonna kill it.
I'm not gonna kill it. You start your swing, you're
still telling yourself that. Then when you get to the
top of the swing and you start to come forward,
you try to kill it. I mean, it's just one
of those things where repetition kind of takes its toll,
and that's where you kind of that's where the repetitions
do their job to get you through practice to not
(04:11):
do that, and I think that comes with you know,
I say that to say, I think that's kind of
what we want to see out of hitters when they
do get to two strikes, all right, So now you're
not trying to do too much at the plate when
you get behind an account when you do get there,
so that you can still have a productive at bat.
I just I really liked over all the way guys
(04:32):
approach things from an offensive standpoint. I know there were
some days where they struggled to score runs. There was
a stretch there, like a week where they struggled to
score runs, but again, I think it's all part of
that process of making these adjustments at the plate. Sometimes
it takes a little while, but I thought we saw
some really positive things.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I think for a lot of folks, the biggest just
overall question mark about the team is the offense, and
then if you dive into that, it's really the offense
coming from the outfield. Austin Hayes had a nice spring.
He's not going to start the season on the injured list,
hopefully with that calf issue. It's not a long term thing.
How valid are the concerns about what they get from
the outfield.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I think it's I think it's somewhat valid, at least
in the early going. I mean, I'm hoping Jake Freiley,
I know, is a guy that was trying to make
some adjustments at the plate. I'm hoping those start to
take hold pretty quickly. He hit the ball with some
serious authority last night. I know it's easy to say, well, yeah,
(05:29):
they're playing their mind for sure, but that minor league
team ran out some pretty serious arms. So it was
good to see him hit the ball harder than I
really remember him hitting it all spring. So maybe those
adjustments that he's been working on are starting to take effect.
It's in there. We saw it two years ago. This
guy hit the ball pretty hard, pretty consistently. Last year
(05:52):
certainly didn't look like he was feeling for it a
little bit. So if they can unlock the power that's there,
then that that might help answer some of those questions.
And saw some of that. Look TJ. Friedel is not
gonna be a guy that's gonna hit for a lot
of home runs. In fact, they kind of told him
they don't want him to hit home runs, and then
you see the approach change a little bit for him.
(06:13):
He starts flaying balls the other way and hitting the
ball on a line a little bit more consistently. That's
the type of hitter that he needs to be. If
he does that, he's kind of a table setter at
the top of the order ahead of Matt and Ellie.
That's encouraging there. So and then Austin Hayes. I was
really encouraged with what I saw from him, Like you say,
(06:34):
hopefully he's going to be back in short order, because
I saw some I mean, guy was an All Star
a couple of years ago, had a tough year last year,
but really encouraging signs from him, And like we've talked
about all spring, you've got a guy that's on a
mission that can be a dangerous player. So I'm excited
to see what the Reds get from him, especially if
(06:55):
he's going to be the guy hitting behind Ellie, protecting
him in the lineup for majority of the season.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You talk about a guy who was an All Star
a couple of years ago, Jose Travino, We're going to
see a lot from him early because Tyler Stevenson is
out I don't think I've ever seen anything like this
before where they acquire a guy, then during spring training
they give him a contract extension, they hold the press conference,
and all of his teammates are there. So obviously the
Reds organization likes Jose Travino. That said something to me,
(07:21):
how much are we going to like this guy?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I think everybody's gonna love him. I mean, he's a
great catcher. Most importantly, I think the pitchers are going
to love him. I think he can also be a
benefit to Tyler Stevens, and Tyler continues to get better.
I thought he made some serious steps forward last year,
and I think working with a guy like Jose Travino
who knows his role, I mean, Jose knows that he's
not in there to be an everyday catcher. He's there
(07:46):
to back up Tyler. And he's obviously a wealth of
knowledge as the reason he's had all the success that
he's had. You've heard the stories by this point about
him working with guys in the caravan in the back
of the bus immediately after coming over. He's just a
wealth of knowledge and continues to learn and knows how
to articulate what he does know. In an impactful way.
(08:09):
So it's not like he's telling guys, here's how you
do it. This is the only way to do it.
You know. He has a way of getting through to
guys so that they listen and they pay attention, and
I think that's really important, and that's why you see
guys show up to his press conference and he has
the support that he does. In addition to that, like
I said, he does a tremendous job with the pitchers.
(08:32):
He knows what they want to do and how they
want to attack hitters, so that way they can be
on the same page. He's going to be a great addition,
I think to this team.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
End of the twenty twenty three season, Terry Francone is retiring,
and I actively sought every podcast, every show that he
appeared on just because I love listening to him talk,
great storyteller, awesome perspective. I just not a Guardians fan
by any stretch of course. I just I want to
listen Terry for and ConA. So now he's here and
(09:02):
I still can't get enough. Your relationship with the manager
is unique because you're the one person who gets one
on one time with him every day, and so give
me that perspective of what it's like to work with
a guy that we're all so excited is here in
Terry Francona.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You know, I get asked about him a lot, and
the one thing I say is it's really hard, especially
when people have a reputation like he does, to a
live up to it when you get to know him
on a personal level. But he's not only done that,
he has exceeded it. I mean everything I've heard about him,
and I've gotten pretty close with Tom Hamilton, who does
the Cleveland Games, I've gotten pretty close with him over
(09:39):
the years, and he was telling me how much I
was gonna love Tito and how great he was, and
he just raved about him, went on and on, and
I thought, man, he's setting the bar awfully high. And
then you meet him, and you work with him, and
you talk to him on a daily basis, and you
talk to him for longer than just the four minutes
that the recorder is going, and you realize why he's
(10:00):
had all the success that he has had. Everything you
see is genuine. He is very real. He's confident in
who he is, which is part of the reason why
he's had so much success. That that allows him to
have tough conversations with guys. I remember one of the
first interviews we did with him during the Hostow season,
he goes, you know, sometimes I'd rather have a tough
(10:22):
conversation with a guy and him be mad at me
for a couple of days than let it fester for
weeks or months and become a bigger issue. And that's
how he handles things. And I think that's so important
for a leader. But he still has a way to
have these tough conversations to where guys, sure they might
be disappointed a little bit with what they hear, but
they still respect where he's coming from. That's a hard
(10:44):
thing for a leader to do, especially a guy that's
leading grown men like he is in a highly competitive environment.
But he just has an act for it. It's not
something that can be taught. It's not something you can
read in a book how to manage and how to
manage people the way he does. He's he's just got it.
It's just the ability that he was born with. And
(11:04):
I'm sure he's learned some of it over the years,
but for the most part, it's just it comes very
natural to him, and it's really, really neat to see.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, most definitely enjoyed tomorrow, enjoy the season. Can thank
you enough. Hopefully we can do it again soon. Man,
