Sixty carries on on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
The Top.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Talkbacks. Welcome in Sincy. Three to sixty hour number two
brought to you by Cincy Shirts. Talkbacks brought to you
by Cincy Shirts. And they continue. Now let's get started.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Hey guys, it's Reggie. I just want to say I
love the All Star Game last night. That probably one
of the better ones I've seen. Not only did the
National League win, so when the Reds do make the
World Series, we're gonna get home field advantage.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Goop goop.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
And they brought back the team uniforms.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Thought that I was sweet.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
The Hank Aaron tribute was unbelievable. I thought I was
going back in time just watching that play out on
the field. They cut all the lights out and then
the firework for home run seven to fifteen was just unbelievable.
The swing off, I like they just forgot to mention
cow sharers from Middletown.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, I would have liked to see them say that
schwarb was from Middletown, just to make sure everybody was clear.
But Reg, I got bad news for you, Bigan. That
doesn't determine home field advantage in the World Series anymore.
How long ago did they do away with that? I
want to say like six or seven years. It's been
longer than I think. Yeah, I could be wrong, but
I don't. Yeah, I kind of wish they would bring

(01:38):
it back. To be honest, it was kind of a
cool part. But I can't.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Hello, this is former president didn't run over again?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
N whill.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
The home run swing off to end the All Star
Game last night is the equivalent to a field goal
kicking contest to decide a football game, or a three
point shooting contest to settle the basketball game. It's great
for exhibition games like an All Star game, but I
don't like it a bit as a replacement for the
already to gimmicky extra ny rules they use. Before you

(02:09):
know it, the MLB will be incorporating banana ball rules.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Whatn't surprised me if my Rob Manford one day is like,
oh yeah, we're gonna do banana ball something banana ball wise.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
Can you imagine the rule of if a fan catches
the foul ball.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
You're out. That's my favorite rule in all of sports. Like,
I don't I'm not like a huge like Savannah Banana's guy,
but that's my favorite rule in sports.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
Did you go when they were here? I did not
know I was working.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I wish, well, shocker, I wish that I would have,
Like did I tell any I don't know if I
told the story on the air or not. But I
won the lottery to buy tickets and I didn't because
I didn't want to go, and I could have. It
was like sixty bucks each. I could have flipped four
tickets for easily, easily a few hundred dollars, maybe one
thousand dollars. I can't believe I didn't missed opportunity. I'm

(02:58):
a clowna about that.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Happy Wednesday, everybody.

Speaker 7 (03:07):
Congratulations Todave laughing and leaping Lamar paris on.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Make it a Bengals ring of honor.

Speaker 8 (03:13):
We are now seven boomers size and days away from
Bengals training camp kicking off.

Speaker 9 (03:18):
Let's go, everybody.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
I'll tell you what. There is no remedy quite like
that of football. I know I'm gonna feel better when
football rolls around, even though this talking about football rolling
around has me fired up. It'll be here before we
know it. Hold on, hold on, do you feel the
opposite because you're a Browns fan?

Speaker 6 (03:40):
I just make you sick. I just like watching football.
I'm not too I'm not too hopeful for who's going
to start for the Browns. Bullpen games?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Bullpen games.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
That's that's my openers. Yes, we're gonna have openers.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
I don't know if it's gonna be Flacco, maybe Sanders,
you know, maybe Dylan left a little bit.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Against the Bengals on September seventh.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
Throw the lefty at him a little bit, throw them off, Yeah, bullpen.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I hope, so, I hope the Bengals can defend left
handed quarterbacks better than the Reds can hit left handed pitchers.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
Well, it's like most says, you be good or be interesting.
I kind of just want the Browns to be interesting.
They are always interested.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
That's true, Odie. This is they beat Colling You from
the high seas.

Speaker 10 (04:24):
Hi, Pete, Paulie and I would like to tip our
caps to leap In Lamar Parish and Dave Lapham, for
they're soon to be induction in the Bengals Ring of Honor.
As a side note, we also look forward to picking
up some commemorative coffin nails at the Bengals Pro Shop
this fall.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
There you go, pro shop. There's an idea that you Yeah,
that's a that's an idea.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Right, A commemorative coffin nail set. It would be fun.
I know there's a lap and horrid bobblehead of them
like sitting at the desk, but it would be funny
if we could get like a faux co bobble of
them hammering in the nails of the coffin. That.

Speaker 6 (05:07):
Yeah, that would sell. Have like the logos of the
AFC North in it, that would on it. That would
probably sell. I would buy fifty exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Hey, Aunie, this is Brian from Independence, longtime listener, first
time in caller. Hey, you want to chime in about
the All Star Game. I was totally bummed because I
had a bet on the American League through DraftKings and
Vandals and that did not pay out. But if I
had played it on Caesar's or Circa, it would have
been a push. So the other sports listeners out there

(05:40):
had the interesting disappointments that I had. Thanks Drew, what
do you know about this? You're more of a gambler
than me.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Yeah, that's interesting because when you look at the final
score from last night, it says six to six and
then NL wins in you know, swingbreaker. So I'm not
exactly short. It must be, you know, it's in the
fine print of the terms and conditions. I guess each
book of each different book. But yeah, that I might

(06:07):
have to do some digging into that. Actually, that's that's
now interesting, Like it's an interesting quarry.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
The National League were like kind of heavy favorites right
last I saw they were like minus one twenty before
the game to actually win. That feels about right, and
I'd imagine that's your team. Yeah, so yeah, I don't know.
That's that's fascinating. It's gonna be in a National League
park for like three years in a row though, right,
Atlanta this year, Philly next year, Wrigley the year after that,

(06:35):
and I think San Francisco is the favorite for twenty
twenty eight. So am I am? I crazy? Is that
always how it is?

Speaker 6 (06:43):
I don't know. I can't rattle a lot. I can't.
I honestly can't remember where the MLB It's one of
the Star Game was played last year.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
It was in Texas last year. It's one of those
things where it's like it happens once a year, to
the point where I forget everything I knew the year before, right,
know what I'm saying? Yes, I always forget the home
run derby rules. Then they add all three to them.
I would say they change them every year. So that's
like it's one of those things that you do once
a year and you forget in the year of like
how you're supposed to do it?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Right, Aunie, what up?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
It's ice. You're doing a great job as all tea Pike.

Speaker 11 (07:16):
Throw them down at the decor deck, love it all
Star game last night, Love the swing off. Hate ties
is like kissing your sister. Nobody wants that. Ring them
honor congratuations to mister Bengal and lpen Lamar Parrish will
deserve next year, who the nation, We gotta get Bob

(07:37):
Trumpy in and as always remember this for life.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, Bob Trumpy, my guy, Jim Breach. I'm curious to
see what they do, what they do to change it,
because here's the thing we'd talked about this maybe a
little bit tomorrow, but like next year is the fifty
ninth anniver the fifty ninth season of Bengals football in
twenty twenty seven will be the sixtieth. What will they

(08:02):
do or are they doing something in preparation for something
special for the sixtieth anniversary That determines how they approached
the Ring of Honor next year.

Speaker 7 (08:14):
It was neat with the tie breaker, and this was Swarber.
I mean, I just felt like he was gonna knock
three out and he did.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
He seemed confident.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
You know, Rooker, Rose, Arana, the other three guys you
hardly even heard of. But good to see the National
League winn and it's it's the best All Star game
by far.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
I agree with him. I agree with the point that
it's the best all Star game. I mean, the NHL
literally did away with their All Star Game and just
had an international competition instead.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, who was it? I think you Joe Danaman yesterday
was talking about could that potentially be a thing with baseball,
like a USA against the World type of.

Speaker 6 (09:00):
You know, I just think with baseball. I just think
the with the way baseball is structured. I think the
American League and National League, and I get that, you know,
it used to be that these players never played each other,
and that in today's world, you know, you play everybody,
which I support. But the other thing is is that
they're really hyping up the World Baseball Classic. Yeah, and

(09:21):
I think that just leaving that be and letting that
grow to what I think it could be, because if
you look around at some of the names that have
already committed, yeah, to play in the World Baseball Classic.
I believe it's next spring, it is going to be
quite the event. Yeah, without a doubt. I agree.

Speaker 12 (09:40):
Hey, Austin Ken from the last year, n I well,
remember the nineteen sixty seven All Star Game when Tony
Perez hit the game winning home run in the fifteenth inding.
I long for those days when the All Star Game
was played like a regular baseball game. Pictures batted, uh,

(10:02):
no time pitches and stuff that said, last night was
kind of fine. I'll admit, go ride.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
Can you imagine how mad you could you could be?
You would be if you were like the manager of
one of those teams in the All Star Game winning?

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, and back in those days, they probably played the
next day, right, Uh yeah, Well, Ken, I'm glad you
had a little fun watching it. There you go, Austin.
How you doing today?

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Man?

Speaker 9 (10:30):
This is Ryan out in Milford. Get my walk in.
I want to congratulate Lap and Perish on their Bengals
Hall of Fame induction and a favorite player of mine. Besides, uh,
somebody on the Reds would be Au Henny o swore

(10:50):
as of course and Byron Buckston have a good day, man.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah. Buxton's a fun dude. Yeah. I saw him by
the way, because he's one of those guys being talked
about his potential trip. And he said, and you know
who knows how true this is, but he was like,
I have a no trade clause. I'm gonna be in
Minnesota twin for life. Like I'm not going to uproot
my family. I want to be in Minnesota. So I
thought that was kind of cool because you just don't
hear that from players that much anymore. But Suarez, of course,

(11:15):
did you think of anybody. I didn't outside of Bobby
with I.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Didn't think about like former Reds who no longer play,
you know, who play for a different team. If I
had thought of that, I would have said, Eaneo Suarez
because I love that guy, always have, always will.

Speaker 8 (11:32):
George Smith Valley Josh, I was thinking, so Ellie has
over I think he's got twelve errors over.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
The ninety two games.

Speaker 8 (11:39):
I'm willing to bet that most of those errors came
in the first part. I think in the last like
twenty four games. I saw somewhere said he's only had
one in the last twenty four games and very little
in the last forty eight games. Most of the errors
came in the first half of the season.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Is this true?

Speaker 8 (11:56):
Off the top of my head, A great show, too,
aust You're doing a good job.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Oh thank you. I appreciate that. Off the top of
my head, I'm pretty sure that is true because of
the gosh, I forget what it was something in h
from like the month of June to now. So in
the last month and a half he's really cleaned up
defensively and just been a much more consistent defensive player.

(12:22):
So I think you're correct. And a lot of those
came kind of early, and I think there was like
a week two where he had like four, So yeah,
I think it was it's been cleaned up a little
bit from Elie's perspective.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
And coincidentally, about that same time is when he really
started to elevate himself on the offensive side too, right,
Like he's really pretty much since that Cub series at Wrigley,
he has kind of rocket shipped up all the way
to where he is now yeah.

Speaker 9 (12:51):
Yo, Jeff, is that Tony and the Lord over there
doing jello shots at the Dackery deck and so he
has the key.

Speaker 11 (13:00):
I believe it is.

Speaker 13 (13:03):
Okay, thank you. This is Paul from Price Hill. I
think that lap On getting into the Ring of Honor
is a really good thing. I really like him as
a broadcaster, although occasionally gets on my nerves when he
has to call a whole game like this and always
everything's exciting, and then when.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
He goes into the locker room, he just talks to
people there. That's how it goes. Dude.

Speaker 13 (13:31):
Anyway, congratulations to it there.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
There can be nothing harder in this business than lap
postgame locker room after a loss like that has got
to be the hardest thing for anybody to do. And
it goes to show the amount of respect that those
guys have for him that they will talk to him.
But it is funny as hell, man, when it's the

(13:56):
only thing that makes losing like he get. I don't know,
it's fun funny about losing his laps all right down
here in the Bengals lockerow. Tough loss. Today got their
face beat in by the Philadelphia Eagles thirty seven to seventeen.
Let's talk to bj Hill j the tush push today.

(14:16):
You know it's like it's so funny.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
All right, this is this is our last.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
One in the box shooting three. Schwarver. Who Kyle Schwarver,
Wait to go, Kyle, Kip blow stay quite in? True?

Speaker 6 (14:37):
Yeah, we should just we should just pay Kyle Schwarber
all the money, make him mare of Cincinnati. Whatever, whatever
his demands are, we need to meet them so he
can be a Cincinnati redneck.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
You no, Yeah, I was gonna say he is a
free agent. Okay, I'm in favor of it.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
We had one more come in here.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Do you think he would fix the potholes in the
juvenile violence?

Speaker 7 (14:57):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (14:58):
I'm I'm not one to doubt Kyle. I will not
doubt Kyle Schwarber. We did have one come in under
the gun, Hit.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Happing and Nattie out here is sunny hot Zona.

Speaker 14 (15:07):
What up, body, You're doing a great job solo. Dave Lapping, congratulations,
Lamar Parris, congratulations.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
The All Star Game was fantastic. Bring back the home
fit advantage.

Speaker 14 (15:17):
I liked that the body language from the swing off
from both sides of the camp on the benches were excellent.
Them boys like they enjoyed themselves like a little kid
out there baseball.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Hitting the home run with this one.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
So keep this going?

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Is it football season yet?

Speaker 12 (15:32):
This?

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Man, I can't wait.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
It's amazing what just caring can do for a television product. Yeah,
like all those players cared and wanted to win. It
was a you know, it doesn't even determine home field
advantage anymore. It's a meaningless exhibition. And Stephen Kwan hit
that to tie the game. He was busting it down
the line like it was Game seven of the ALCS.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yep, he was. That's true. That's it all right. Wonderful
talkbacks completed. We will be giving away a Sense Shorts
gift card at the end of this week for our
talkback of the week. Looking forward to that. When we
get back though, we'll do our Postman Law Injury report.

injury report, and then after that, maybe, just maybe it's
