Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I love having this guy on the show, especially when
we're talking some baseball. The Nasty Boys were out and
about in Cincinnati last night. Rob Devil, Randy Meyers, Norm
Charlton Welcome back to Great American Ballpark. Didn't produce a win,
though they did see some great pitch and Paul Skins
on the mount against Hunter Green. It was a great
game last night, did not go.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
The reds Way. Pirates won four to three.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Rob Devil on the show DIVS, how are the Nasty Boys?
Give us a little taste what you've been into in Cincinnati?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well, you know whatever, we come back here. We have
a lot of stuff we gotta do. Going to Molar
High School, which is awesome football powerhouse that you know about. Yeah,
raising money from Molar High School tonight. Last night we
were with a big company that had I don't know
about twenty sponsors that giving away a bunch of awards.
(00:51):
So we were like the guest speakers there. We spoke
at the Hall of Fame yesterday and then caught a
ball game ball Skins versus Hunter Green, a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
How did Skens look like in person?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
For you?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And you say you're in the what center field box.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, we're in center field, but we were down by
the field when he was warming up, and actually we're
right behind the Reds bullpen for about three or four innings,
so we got to kind of see from center field.
But you know, whether you're watching it on the TV
or whether you're watching him in person, he's just so
(01:27):
dominant and such a massive guy, and he kind of
reminds me of Jr. Richard, who was about six foot
eight and two fifty to three hundred pounds. You never
really knew how big Jr.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Was.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
And when you're throwing that hard and throwing downhill, you
can't take huge swings. And the Reds just watching them
last night, swinging way too hard, way too hard. You
should be just trying to make a connection. Put some
balls out there. But once Hunter Green was out of
the game, once Ski got out and the Reds tied
(02:01):
it up to too, it was into the bullpen. So
it's like, you know, there's so many great matchups that
end about the seventh inning. It's disappointing. So he didn't
throw that many pitches on her. Green didn't throw that
many pitches. But since it's all scripted, so it's like,
oh my god, this guy's so amazing and he gets
(02:21):
nothing for his seven innings of effort, and I don't
understand why teams continue to use that formula.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Well, he does finish under two to oh for his era,
one of the best for as young.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
As he is.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
The next best is nineteen eighty five Doc Gooden in
his year as a rook but an under two oh er.
I know the record doesn't look great, but we all
know what the Pittsburgh Pirates are bringing to the table
as far as their lineup. But you guys got to
be impressed with the under two oh and what he's
done so far this year, right, oh.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Absolutely, And that's the thing. But then you look at
like one hundred and fifty or one hundred and seventy
innings where they used to throw three hundred, even if
it was like two twenty or two thirty like you
said with Doc good and his was around three hundred.
And it's almost your sacrificing success to protect these arms,
(03:13):
and it's still not working. So many guys are getting hurt.
Uh And and you're saying, okay, as soon as he
gets to the let's just say the magic numbers one hundred.
You know, we were talking about this last night, Randy Myers,
Orm Charlton. You know, we probably have about forty five
fifty years experience between the three of us, and they
played with different guys. They all played. You know, Norm
(03:34):
played with Randy Johnson, and he played with a bunch
of great pitch Mike Mustino with Baltimore. Both Randy and
Norm pitched with Musci, and these guys never wanted to
come out. We were just talking about this last night.
You didn't want us in your game, even as good
as people said. You know, Norm, Randy and Rob were
the nasty boy. We didn't want to pitch in your game.
(03:56):
We were there like a fire state, were you break
the glass just in case of emergency. We're there if
you need help with the last five outs, if you
need help with the last three outs. That's that's what
we were paid to. Now you're basically saying, we'll bring
in like the fifth best picture, which is what happened
with the Reds happen with the Pires. Will take out
(04:19):
these two all star pitchers and Hunter Green and fall
schemes and insert the fifth best picture on the staff
or the seventh best picture on the staff. I've never
understood that. I never will. If you're going to bring
in a set of All Star or a set of Closer,
that's one thing, but that's not what's happening in today's game.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Talking to DIBs, he's in Cincinnati this week hanging out
with the boys, Norm and Randy in the house as well.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
What's the vibe for the Reds one game away? That
the loss, it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Doesn't really do any bad because the Mets, loss of
the Cubs, Diamondsbacks loss of the Dodgers, but one game away,
four games left.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
What's the vibe in the town? What's the vibe with
the clubhouse?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
The vibe is is playoff atmosphere. They're pack in the
house the last couple of nights and both times they
come away with the loss, and the team's almost apologetic,
but they they're trying to will these guys into getting
into the postseason. And this is when you need win.
This is when you have to beat a sub five
hundred team like the Pirates. But the Pirates are having
(05:21):
none of it. The Pirates are basically saying, we're gonna
spoil your fun. And they've got a four game winning streak.
Reds have lost too in a row. If you look
at some of these other teams, the Detroit Tigers are
in the same boat where you know you're whoever you're playing,
the Guardians or anybody else, they're trying to put you
back a notch. And so you look at that. I
was actually with a Tigers fan last night. They've lost
(05:44):
eight in a row. Guardians have won nine out of ten,
have a two game winning streak, and they've taken over
first place. You have basically a tie atop American League
East with Toronto and New York. So here in Cincinnati,
they know they're down to four games. It's do or die.
It's desperation. And after one hundred and fifty eight games, man,
(06:05):
this is why you play. This is when it gets fun.
So Tyler Stevenson had a career night last night. If
you're watching Seattle Mariners, you had Cal Raley had a
career night with a couple more home runs, but he
was cranking out hits as well. He's at sixty home runs.
This is the last like we used to call it
salary drive. This is when baseball is its most fun.
(06:28):
Just like the beginning of the season, when you come
out of spring training. When it feels fresh, when it
feels like you're gonna do something spectacular, that's one. It's
the most fun. That's when you're like a kid again.
That's one. It's the most fun to play.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Go back to those Tigers, not only the eight in
a row, but after that win, they lost three before that.
So my calculations have that eleven losses in the last
twelve games and epic collapse with this team being in
first place in the Central pretty much the whole entire season.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
What do you make of this?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Is this something you can pick out, whether it's the
pitching staff to the lineup, or is this something over
time that you have seen where a team maybe doesn't
have the experience falls falls out at the end.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
No, it's what you're watching. It's very similar to the
Mets one year had a seven game lead, I think
with fourteen to play, and it evaporated. It happens very quickly.
You know, it's one bad start or you know, one
great pitching performance by your opponent to kind of put
(07:29):
you in a mental funk and in a game built
on failure. When you're supposed to be doing something and
it's not happening, you pressed, guys go up there, They overswing, guys,
don't run the base bases correctly, guys miss a cutoff
guy and overthrow somebody. If you watch a lot of
these defensive plays we were watching, you know, and I
(07:51):
know it's your team. The Cubs are playing last night, right,
they're playing the Mets. Mets have a reliever in the game.
The Cubs are pouring it on and huge rally inning,
and they don't pay attention, and those things come back
to haunt you. So Peter crow Armstrong's on second, it's
a pass ball, the pitcher doesn't cover home and he
scores from second. Think about that in the locker room,
(08:14):
Think about that on the bench. Absolutely demoralizing. So one
bad inning, one bad play, another team can stick it
to you like a schemes and all of a sudden
it mentally sets you back. So watching Detroit reminds me
of what happened to the Mets a few years ago.
Actually it's probably about fifteen to twenty when Tom Glavin
(08:35):
was playing for the Mets at that point. But it
really snowballs because now you get in the locker room
and you're looking around. It's dead silence, and you almost
want to point fingers, but that you just can't do it.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Red Sox getting back to scoring runs all over the place.
They've won their last two series. They beat Tampa before
this series with Toronto, they've won the last two games,
only putting one run on the board. On the defensive side.
They could sweep Toronto tonight. They're looking like they are
going into the playoffs a lot hotter than what we expected.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Did they have enough though?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
In the lineup, minus the Roman Anthony, minus all their
woes that they've had in the previous parts of this season.
Are the Red Sox looking like one of these teams
that's actually playing some of their better baseball right now?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah? They do. I mean Brakman's starting to get better
and hit hit the ball like he did earlier in
the season. Trevor Story is having a great year. Some
of the other guys just have to pitch in, you know,
Narvaias and some of these other guys. This is the
time you want to play. You know you're gonna be
in the postseason. I mean, Detroit's two games back from you.
I don't think the Astros can catch them, So I
(09:41):
think you're definitely going into the wild card. Your three
games back in New York and Toronto. I don't think
you can win the division. There's too much there. But
now you have to start starting, you know, setting up
your rotation. Got a great closer, all star raldus Chapman,
and you work your way back in the bullpen. Same
thing in the rotation. Okay, you got Crochet. Crochet has
had a couple of rough outings, but for the most part,
(10:03):
the whole season's been amazing. And so you know that
he's going to get the ball in game one. Now
it's who's going to get the ball in Game two?
Who's going to get the ball in Game three? You know,
can we count on Bayo to actually, you know, go
six solid innings without having that one inning meltdown. So
I definitely think the Red Sox can win. They have
the pitching, they have enough offense. And remember, you can
(10:25):
win two to one in the postseason with good pitching.
You can win a three to two game with good pitching.
You don't have to score four or five runs every game,
and then you're gonna have some blowouts. But in that
first round, you got to be on top of your
a game and get ready to play and I think
they're one of the more hot teams as opposed to
like the Detroit Tigers going into the postseason.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Talking to Rob Devo, he is with the boys in
Cincinnati this week's and we're taking over the airways for him,
but giving us some time here on just the off
portion of your guys' busy schedule that's out there. You
got a members only jacket photos shoot coming up, maybe
some zoomba photo shoots coming up, dude.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
So tomorrow we'll do like our annual like autograph show
and stuff like that up in Dayton or near Dayton,
and we we break out the old uniform tops. I'll
send you some pictures when we'll put them online.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Originals are these like these are.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
The old pullovers?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Oh okay, we have saved.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
These their relics like us. Yeah, they're the pullover softball uniforms.
And we'll put them on and take pictures with everybody
at the autograph show.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I love it. I love it all right.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You got to try to stay relevant. I think we're
about three generations. I was, I was bemoaning today's Reds
because think about thirty five years ago we won the
World Series. Thirty five years ago, it's insane, and we're like,
they gotta they got to win. They gotta win. They
gotta take some pressure off of us. We won like
fifteen fourteen games fourteen years after the Big Red Machine
(11:59):
that kept them relevant, kept us relevant. They just they
just celebrated their fiftieth anniversary, the Big Red Machine. So
we're all getting long in the tooth. We need the
Reds to come through.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well, one of those guys in the Big Red Machine.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Uh, one of the best catchers in the history of
the game is probably gonna tip his cap to what
the man cayle Rally is up to right now. I'm
probably all of you guys, you know, not just Johnny Bench,
but all you guys in the Reds when you see
sixty home runs from a catcher, like what DoD Some
of you old timers think about that number, Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Say, it's exceptional. We were watching it last night. We
were actually out of dinner after the game was over,
and it's unbelievable to think about that. You know, they're
talking about Mickey Mantle. There's very few guys that have
ever hit sixty home runs, right, I think it's what
it's Babe. Ruth Maris Judge Bonds and now cal Rawley.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yep, and McGuire. If you want to throw McGuire Sosa
in there, that's right.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
McGuire Sosa, that's right. I apologize. You throw in the
fact that Hank Aaron, who hit seven hundred and fifty fives,
never hit fifty in a year. Yeah, most he ever
hit was forty nine. So I just think from that
standpoint being a catcher, I think he's caught one hundred
and forty three games this year. I think Johnny caught
one hundred and forty eight the year he hit forty
(13:19):
five home runs. It's hard to do because I think
you're exhausted, your legs are dying. And dude, he looks
like a child running around the bases last night getting
fifty nine and sixty. Yeah, he could smell it. He's like,
I'm running out of time. I'm playing this team that
we should beat. He got he got the Rockies to
throw him a couple of meatballs, and he didn't waste
any time at all putting him out of the out
(13:41):
of the park. So now he can kind of relax.
I mean, if you get sixty two, he gets sixty two.
But I think getting a sixty historically as a catcher,
it's going to be hard to duplicate that.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, definitely in a rare club of all players in
the history of the Major League Baseball, Colorado won more
with them. They have yet to list their picture. It's
that TBD guy, He's always dangerous. And then three in
LA for Seattle. All in Seattle, Kirby Gilbert Miller on
the mound for the Dodgers against Kyle Rowley, and the
(14:12):
price of those tickets keep on climbing because he could.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Be he could be flirting with sixty three September.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Twenty eight history.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I know, I know I would love to be there
as well. I'd love to be with you guys. I
bet you guys are having a blast in Cincinnati. Man,
Skyline chilly in your system?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Do we do that?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
No, I'm not touching Skyline.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Good for you, excellent. Well, thanks for the time. We
don't want to wear you down. Tell the boys we
said hi, and then have some fun. We'll see on Monday.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I will Thanks for having me on
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I love having this guy on the show, especially when
we're talking some baseball. The Nasty Boys were out and

Charlton Welcome back to Great American Ballpark. Didn't produce a win,

Speaker 1 (00:20):

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Rob Devil on the show DIVS, how are the Nasty Boys?
Give us a little taste what you've been into in Cincinnati?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well, you know whatever, we come back here. We have
a lot of stuff we gotta do. Going to Molar
High School, which is awesome football powerhouse that you know about. Yeah,
raising money from Molar High School tonight. Last night we
were with a big company that had I don't know
about twenty sponsors that giving away a bunch of awards.
(00:51):

you can win the division. There's too much there. But
now you have to start starting, you know, setting up
your rotation. Got a great closer, all star raldus Chapman,
and you work your way back in the bullpen. Same
thing in the rotation. Okay, you got Crochet. Crochet has
had a couple of rough outings, but for the most part,
(10:03):
the whole season's been amazing. And so you know that
he's going to get the ball in game one. Now
it's who's going to get the ball in Game two?
Who's going to get the ball in Game three? You know,
can we count on Bayo to actually, you know, go
six solid innings without having that one inning meltdown. So
I definitely think the Red Sox can win. They have
the pitching, they have enough offense. And remember, you can
(10:25):
win two to one in the postseason with good pitching.
You can win a three to two game with good pitching.
You don't have to score four or five runs every game,
and then you're gonna have some blowouts. But in that
first round, you got to be on top of your
a game and get ready to play and I think
they're one of the more hot teams as opposed to
like the Detroit Tigers going into the postseason.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Talking to Rob Devo, he is with the boys in
Cincinnati this week's and we're taking over the airways for him,
but giving us some time here on just the off
portion of your guys' busy schedule that's out there. You
got a members only jacket photos shoot coming up, maybe
some zoomba photo shoots coming up, dude.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
So tomorrow we'll do like our annual like autograph show
and stuff like that up in Dayton or near Dayton,
and we we break out the old uniform tops. I'll
send you some pictures when we'll put them online.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Originals are these like these are.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
The old pullovers?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Oh okay, we have saved.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
These their relics like us. Yeah, they're the pullover softball uniforms.
And we'll put them on and take pictures with everybody
at the autograph show.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I love it. I love it all right.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You got to try to stay relevant. I think we're
about three generations. I was, I was bemoaning today's Reds
because think about thirty five years ago we won the
World Series. Thirty five years ago, it's insane, and we're like,
they gotta they got to win. They gotta win. They
gotta take some pressure off of us. We won like
fifteen fourteen games fourteen years after the Big Red Machine
(11:59):
that kept them relevant, kept us relevant. They just they
just celebrated their fiftieth anniversary, the Big Red Machine. So
we're all getting long in the tooth. We need the
Reds to come through.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well, one of those guys in the Big Red Machine.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Uh, one of the best catchers in the history of
the game is probably gonna tip his cap to what
the man cayle Rally is up to right now. I'm
probably all of you guys, you know, not just Johnny Bench,
but all you guys in the Reds when you see
sixty home runs from a catcher, like what DoD Some
of you old timers think about that number, Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Say, it's exceptional. We were watching it last night. We
were actually out of dinner after the game was over,
and it's unbelievable to think about that. You know, they're
talking about Mickey Mantle. There's very few guys that have
ever hit sixty home runs, right, I think it's what
it's Babe. Ruth Maris Judge Bonds and now cal Rawley.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yep, and McGuire. If you want to throw McGuire Sosa
in there, that's right.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
McGuire Sosa, that's right. I apologize. You throw in the
fact that Hank Aaron, who hit seven hundred and fifty fives,
never hit fifty in a year. Yeah, most he ever
hit was forty nine. So I just think from that
standpoint being a catcher, I think he's caught one hundred
and forty three games this year. I think Johnny caught
one hundred and forty eight the year he hit forty
(13:19):
five home runs. It's hard to do because I think
you're exhausted, your legs are dying. And dude, he looks
like a child running around the bases last night getting
fifty nine and sixty. Yeah, he could smell it. He's like,
I'm running out of time. I'm playing this team that
we should beat. He got he got the Rockies to
throw him a couple of meatballs, and he didn't waste
any time at all putting him out of the out
(13:41):
of the park. So now he can kind of relax.
I mean, if you get sixty two, he gets sixty two.
But I think getting a sixty historically as a catcher,
it's going to be hard to duplicate that.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, definitely in a rare club of all players in
the history of the Major League Baseball, Colorado won more
with them. They have yet to list their picture. It's
that TBD guy, He's always dangerous. And then three in
LA for Seattle. All in Seattle, Kirby Gilbert Miller on
the mound for the Dodgers against Kyle Rowley, and the
(14:12):
price of those tickets keep on climbing because he could.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Be he could be flirting with sixty three September.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Twenty eight history.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I know, I know I would love to be there
as well. I'd love to be with you guys. I
bet you guys are having a blast in Cincinnati. Man,
Skyline chilly in your system?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Do we do that?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
No, I'm not touching Skyline.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Good for you, excellent. Well, thanks for the time. We
don't want to wear you down. Tell the boys we
said hi, and then have some fun. We'll see on Monday.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I will Thanks for having me on
