question brought to you by Revivefitnessystems dot com and coach PJ. Street.

(02:43):
What is your concern level for Red second baseman Matt
McClain Is it zero to three, not concerned, three to six,
seven to nine or ten plus ten plus being of
course very concern. You can vote on that one, be
updating it throughout the show, and the Reds are where

(03:03):
we're going to start in our number one today, Reds
begin a three game set over the weekend right now
or tonight, I should say not right now. They're not
playing another day game. They start that weekend set tonight.
Six' ten is the first pitch a special Earlier friday
night start, TIME i believe due to the mile, run

(03:24):
the race that's going on of It's Flying pig, weekend
as you, Know Flying Pig Kentucky Derby reds at. Home
there's a lot going on in The greater area And
reds have a special start time. Tonight but they split
the four game set with The Saint Louis cardinals winning
nine to. One Yesterday matt McCain did single in that,

(03:47):
game by the, way but The reds just kind of
they played really good In game, one they played really
good In game. Four they did not play good in
the middle in that double header that they get swept On.
Wednesday but in yesterday's, game they racked up nine, hits
they scored nine, runs and the bullpen continued to be,

(04:08):
fantastic especially after an hour and thirty seven minute rain
delay in the middle of that. Game Graham ashcraft came.
In he pitched three, innings did not give up a,
hit didn't walk about. Her he struck out four hitters
on thirty one pitches through three. Innings incredibly efficient and

(04:29):
filthy stuff From Graham. Ashcraft that was followed up By
Taylor rodgers pitching a scoreless inning And Luis, may making
his major league debut comes into the ninth shuts things
down in The reds split the series with The Saint Louis.
Cardinals how about this for The reds? Bullpen you ready for?
This The reds bullpen dating back To wednesday. Evening so

(04:53):
after the major league debut Of Chase, Petty brent came.
In he gave up a couple of. Hits that's the
last time The reds bullpen gave up a. Hit they
have retired thirty five consecutive batters out of the. Bullpen
thirty five consecutive hitters retired by The reds. Bullpen that is,

(05:18):
fantastic and big outings From Lion, richardson From Brent, souter
From Graham ashcraft to kind of put the bullpen in
good shape going into this weekend Against. WASHINGTON i, mean
that was really really important. Stuff and the star of yesterday's,
show Yes Luis may you, know it makes the major

(05:38):
league debut and gets the strikeout and all, that but
the star of the game, yesterday without question Was Graham.
Ashcraft Here's ashcraft after the, game.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
This thing and how you.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
KNOW i, MEAN i feel Like i'm right there WHERE
i need to be and know what whatever the team.
NEEDS i, mean that's all that's ALL i can. DO i,
Mean i'm gonna go out and give it WHAT i
can and whatever the results, is it, is you. KNOW i,
mean things are going good right, now AND i like
to plan that way and stay that, way but you,
know baseball season's roller coaster and you just never know
what's gonna, happen so you just have to continue with

(06:14):
what you, get.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
And boy is he. Correct it's been a roller coaster
of a season already for The. Reds and, listen if
they're gonna go, anywhere they have to play better in the.
DIVISION i, mean, yes they've swept The Pittsburgh, pirates but
you wanted a sweep or at least winning the. Series
you would, hope, uh with The Saint Louis cardinals this,

(06:37):
week like you really wanted, that but unfortunately they weren't
able to do. It so there's two things now THAT
i kind of look, at all, Right it is What's
Tyler stevenson doing At TRIPLE A and we'll get into
that later on with Our Postman law injury. Report and
can they be more consistent? Offensively yesterday was really the

(06:58):
first time all season that they've shown signs of life
Without Austin hayes in the. Lineup AND i mean it
goes without saying they are an entirely different ball club
when he's in the. Lineup And Gavin lux has struggled
a little bit in left. Field we've seen a little

(07:19):
bit Of Santiago espinal out there and he's been. Okay,
overall The reds defense has been, better which you Know
tony AND i talked about this a couple of weeks
ago or prior to the start of the. Season where
are they On may? Second that's what we wanted to.
Know we wanted to know where are they through thirty two,
games because now that's a decent Chunk you're into the

(07:42):
month Of. May what are they going to look? Like
AND i think if you just kind of sit back
and look at it from thirty thousand, feet you feel
really good about the. Pitching the bullpen has been a pleasant.
Surprise they've done just about every thing you've asked them to.
Do Emilio pagan in the closer, Role Tony santim setting

(08:05):
it up and putting out. FIRES i, mean the addition
Of Scott, barlow who seems to have a rubber, arm
has been pretty. Solid, ashcraft AS i, mentioned has been
at times. Filthy they're not going to be perfect every single,
night but for the most, part the bullpen has been.
Consistent it's been a. Strength you can say the same

(08:26):
thing about the starting. Rotation Hunter green is very very,
Good nicolodolo, Spectacular Andrew rabbit has looked. Solid his outing
shortened yesterday obviously by the rain, delay but he's been.
Good Nick martinez looks like he's heading in the right
direction the last couple of. Starts, overall you feel pretty
good about. That and obviously the addition Of Brady singer as.

(08:48):
Well so those are two, positives the bullpen in the starting,
pitching all, right what else is a? Positive i'd say the.
Fielding i'd say the. DEFENSE i, mean, overall they are
a better defensive team right now than they were a year.
Ago part of that Is matt McClain playing every single.
Day he's been. Wonderful Santiago espinal has been. Terrific ellie

(09:08):
has not been. Perfect made another error. Yesterday that. One
i'll give him a pass. On it's a tough play
and he was trying to do too. Much ellie's been
a little bit. Inconsistent gavin lux has struggled a little.
Bit BUT i Think friedel's played a good. OUTFIELD i
Think freyley's played a good. OUTFIELD i Think Blake dunn's played,
Well Jose travino behind the, dish Even candelario was halfway

(09:31):
decent at first base when he was, playing And Spencer
steeer has been solid and strand before. That so net positive,
defense right so that's three. Positives what's the other? One
what's the one that then maybe not not a good
grade on Offensively AND i don't even know that you
would give them a failing grade offensively through this. Point

(09:54):
they've had a twenty four run, explosion but they've also
been shut out four, times hit with runners in scoring
position kind of in, bunches but then go quietly at
times inconsistent to say the least is their identity, offensively
and that's. Maddening but again you go back to Can

(10:16):
matt McClain figure it? Out and if he, does that
in and of itself is going to be a, big
big boost for this. Team Spencer steer had two hits,
yesterday continues now at fully healthy and playing the field
every day to look like. Himself so long as the
hamstring For Austin hayes is not a major, issue you

(10:39):
expect him to pick up where he's left off and
be a huge part of this. Offense just those three
guys right, there you would, think if they get back
up to snuff and who we know them to, be
they will balance out what is inevitably going to be
the drop in production From Noel Vie mark And Gavin

(11:01):
lux And Jose travigno And Austin. Wins i've obviously got
an incredible production out of the catcher. Position the other
part is When Tyler stevenson comes, back can he be
offensively what he was even a year. Ago you would
be thrilled with. That that would be all the makings
of a team that can go on a. Run but

(11:23):
again it comes down to consistent. Hitting are they able
to do? That Tyler stevenson has not looked great at
the plate since he's been IN. Triplea we Know christian
And carnassio And strand still dealing with a back, injury
may not see him for a. While don't know that
we'll see jam Or candelario. Again But friedo has been

(11:47):
pretty much the same guy all, year making, contact getting on.
Base he started stealing some. Basses McClain stays, there does
what we know he can. Do listen that the term
sophomore slump exists for a, reason right because guys always
slump in their second, year and it's happens all across.

(12:08):
Sports it happens in life when you go to. College
it happens in sports in The National Football, league In
Major league baseball in THE, nba the second year can
sometimes be a. Struggle we've seen that happen countless times in,
sports and maybe that's what's happening right now With matt.
McLain and that's why it is part of the poll.

(12:28):
Question is this a sophomore slump that you think can
trickle Into June? July is it a sophomore slump that
maybe ends tonight going up against the left? Hander is
it a sophomore slump, That, okay he's not gonna hit
two eighty five and hit twenty five, homers but he'll
hit two sixty seven and hit fifteen. Homers is that good?

(12:52):
Enough considering the other players on this team and the
offensive production that is expected out of, THEM i would think.
Right so to, ME i look at all this and
through the first, month there's a lot to be excited.
About there's a lot to be to look forward. To

(13:15):
and that's why, yesterday in Our revivefitnessystems dot com poll
QUESTION i, asked through thirty one, games The reds were
sixteen and, fifteen how do you feel about the rest
of their twenty twenty five, season and sixty five percent
said they are just? OKAY i. Voted i'm excited BECAUSE
i think they'll be in. It and the REASON i

(13:36):
voted for that is Everything i've just. Outlined they don't,
stink but if they can just get a little bit
more consistent on, offense that will help so. Much it
will help out the pitching staff because they won't be perfect,
forever both in the bullpen and on the starting in
the in the starting, rotation excuse, me just a little

(14:00):
bit more. Consistency i'm fine with where the defense is.
At the two blands have been cut. Down they haven't
been making dumb decisions on the base pass nearly as.
Much they've stopped doing dumb, stuff and they've more appropriately
found the line between aggressive and. Stupid that through thirty
two games and two games over five, HUNDRED i look

(14:21):
around AND i, Say, okay these are the makings of
a team that can be competitive in The National league
and primarily in The National League, central Because pittsburgh's not any.
Good milwaukee seems like maybe we are finding out their
identity a little. BIT a team that lost a lot
in the. Offseason Saint. Louis they can hit really, well

(14:46):
but can they pitch? Consistently and Then chicago who is
top to bottom a pretty good team but has a
bad bullpen and questions in their starting, rotation but they can.
Mash consistent hitting From chicago does not seem to be a.
Question it's more consistent. Pitching BECAUSE i look at all

(15:11):
the teams in the division AND i, Think, okay maybe
the team best suited to be in this thing sustainably
long term competitive will be The. Reds because you know
that old saying in, baseball momentum is as good as
the next day's starting. Pitcher. Right, well The. REDS i

(15:33):
like their odds with most of the guys they send
to the, mound but that that hitting just has to
be more. Consistent red's nine to one winners yesterday Over Saint.
Louis here's what the, Skipper Terry, francona had to say
after the. Game you, know, NO i, MEAN.

Speaker 6 (16:03):
I.

Speaker 7 (16:03):
Agree we came out really well and we had good
energy and good, enthusiasm which was one of our goals
because on a day like, today after a day like,
yesterday just having that energy is really really. Important it's
not gonna get you, hits but it keeps you in the.
Game AND i think our guys are good enough where
they'll get hits what a received from granted obviously three perfect.

(16:26):
Enagies we kind of gambled a little bit going with
him out of the, chute and perfect case was he
was gonna be able to go three and that's exactly
what he. Did that WAS i, mean he filled it
up with strikes and two different pitches and quality. Pitches
that's that's that was really fun to.

Speaker 8 (16:48):
Watch you mentioned last night with the work a suitor
And Lion richardson and then he throwing all your BELIEF
i think you got thirty five retired a. Row that's
just stepping up from your.

Speaker 7 (16:58):
Bolding AND i didn't know. That, no actually just Texted
lyon AND i told his suit her cause what they
did last night gave us a chance today to not
hurt somebody and to win the.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Game they didn't even seem too wrapped.

Speaker 9 (17:13):
Up he was just doing anything out.

Speaker 7 (17:15):
THERE i bet you he had a heart. Beat mm,
MMMM i bet you had a little heart beat. Going, yeah,
y it was a G it was a good situation
to get him in and he threw the ball very.

Speaker 9 (17:26):
Well so they're just.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
Given how the weather ended up impacting a serious cause.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Of the whole the whole.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Heater yesterday is just about as pretty and kind of
as good as four.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
Games split as you can go. FOR i, mean we
move on pretty, quickly and you know me well enough now.
Already BUT i cared about today and today you know, it,
guy guys are a little. TIRED i get. It, well
you guys are probably tired. Too it's, long you. Know
but we played with good energy and that's WHAT i.
Appreciate what have should you, know those contributions offensive when

(17:59):
you've done for you, know we've talked so much about
his defense as game calling and for good, reason but
he's been a threat at the, plate AND i, mean, shoot,
Man so those, WINS i, mean they've done a great.

Speaker 3 (18:13):

Speaker 14 (24:13):
Around, definitely yeah they're a really really fun team, to watch,
you know not that Unlike, the reds except they have
a HIGHER baseball iq than A resid, i think although
you you, MENTIONED it i think thirty, two games twenty
percent of, the season that eighty five wins with seventeen
wins now will take.

Speaker 13 (24:33):
That.

Speaker 16 (24:33):
Run.

Speaker 14 (24:33):
ABSOLUTELY yeah i don't see any reason why any, you
know would. Be, Unhappy now like, you said ups and
downs with, the Bullpens Like scott, rowland said it's the
big one sixty two not going to be smooth and
winning the games in, the division as you have emphasized time.

Speaker 16 (24:51):
And again is what's going.

Speaker 14 (24:52):
To count so now what does have to wait? And
see so kind of waiting For The kentucky oaks to
come on at one o'clock the weather's anything like what
they Whatever they if the weather's anything like what they're,
saying tomorrow that race is going to be almost impossible.
TO bet i think there's only four horses who've ever
run on anything that's not a. Fast track it could

(25:12):
be could be. Wide open and just to shout out
to you and some of the, OTHER podcasters I Thought
Ball don't lie was really good, this week well spoken
and well. Thought out and, you know all these guys
we can complain About the bengals about a. MILLION things
i will tell you up HERE On Dc Sports. Talk
radio they never get an assistant coach on, The show

(25:35):
they never get a scouting director on, the show. Nothing
whatsoever and, you Know With mike potts making the rounds
with everybody and the accessibility that you guys all get
to various members of. The organization Forget about Mike, and
KATIE but i think it's pretty much unheard of in,
pro football and that Stuff With mike potts this week

(25:56):
has been really.

Speaker 15 (25:56):
Eye.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
OPENING yeah i actually have a couple Of clips i'm

jay and, those guys but, you're right, you know we

Shoot Potts, stephen RADISSEVIK who i believe is in the
scouting department. As well zach was just On With tom

a little bit better, at THAT which. I appreciate, AND
heck i mean We Got shamar stewart On with moe

Called Ball don't Lie. With audioelmore you can find it

all bengals all. The time so if you want to check,
that out you're more than welcome to Just Search Ball
don't lie wherever you get. Your podcasts, and yeah, YOU

(27:17):
know i think the interesting part About the reds kind
of moving forward outside of just you know that being
able to, hit consistently is who's going to be the
guy that takes A step like it kind of Feels
Like gavin lux has taken. A step i heard a
stat earlier this week That since july twentieth of, last

(27:40):
year there's only six pitters in baseball that have a
over three hundred, batting average an over four hundred on,
base percentage and an over FIVE. Hundred ops. Only six
you could probably figure out five, of them, You Know,
aaron judge guys, Like That. Marcello zoo and Then There's

(28:01):
gavin lux who quietly has been one of the better
hitters in Baseball since july twentieth of last year through
now and has been a big part Of the red's.
Early success just got to figure out what they're gonna
do with him in, left field because that seems to
be an issue, right now his ability to actually play.
Left field we'll take, A break we'll come back more phone, calls, five, one, three, seven,

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Rolling RIGHT along espn, Fifteen thirty This is sincy. Three
sixty My Name's. Austin elmore already thirty eight minutes into
our number one coming up in our number two right at,
One O'clock Charlie goldsmith chuck gonna, join us talk A
Little red legs and what he's learned about this ball
club through the first thirty. Two games but right now

(29:21):
your phone calls five, point, three, seven, four nine. Fifteen
thirty let's go Out To. Green township That's where. Eddie.
Is eddie what's? Up man not a, Whole.

Speaker 19 (29:29):
Lot austin how you doing This.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Lovely friday i'm wonderful looking forward to a few. Days,
Off yeah i've.

Speaker 16 (29:35):
SEEN that i hope you.

Speaker 19 (29:36):
Enjoy that get to Cut some red games on, The,
road yeah that'd. Be fun, so yeah just come With.
The reds like, you said they're about thirty two games in.
The season so far they're going. PRETTY okay, I mean
i guess everyone would be. Pretty satisfy le's figure out,
right now despite, you know the good, and bad but
the good definitely outlaid, THE bat i think. So far
would you agree.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
To, THAT yeah i would. Say, SO yeah i. Think
so and like.

Speaker 19 (30:02):
You said the starting rotation has been. Really good it's
not gonna be as dominant as it. Has been we
know it's gonna comes down a, little bit which he's
already seen a. Little bit but the bullpen's been, pretty okay,
you know especially those back three guys who are, been solid,
You Know fanteon Pegan. And ashcraft they've kind of gotten

(30:22):
rid of the two players that we both knew weren't
helping this team, At All alexis Diaz and Jamber, candell aria,
you know and they didn't waste any time. Doing that
they kind of did it pretty early on.

Speaker 14 (30:31):
The season so cruderous.

Speaker 19 (30:32):
To that, THE offense i agree. With you THE offense
i think is going to be the biggest testament the
rest of.

Speaker 16 (30:39):
The season the inconsistency.

Speaker 19 (30:40):
Of it and you gotta hope that by the time
things pull Off With austin Hayes and Luck and traveno
and guys. Like that you got to hope by then
that guys like McClean is starting to, hit better, you
know more consistent that we thought he's gonna. HIT right
i don't know what he has to do with the
fact that he hasn't played in. So long he's only
played about two and a half months in the.

Speaker 14 (31:01):
Major leagues is?

Speaker 19 (31:01):
That correct he played in twenty twenty three when he got,
called up and then he was hurt the last, two
months and then he missed all. Last, Year yeah i'm
wondering if maybe he just hasn't had enough time in the,
major LEAGUES because i don't want to believe that he's
not really the player we thought he was. GONNA be
i don't want to believe.

Speaker 16 (31:15):
THAT yet i think he's just He hasn't he's.

Speaker 19 (31:17):
Been so much time and he's just still trying to
find his way in the.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Major, LEAGUES yeah i mean that that's that's a good
point because he did get hurt towards the end of twenty,
twenty THREE and i think all together played in just
eighty nine games that rookie season and has played in
twenty three games. This year so he's just now gotten
past one hundred career big. LEAGUE games i think we
kind of forget That about.

Speaker 19 (31:41):
Matt, McClain YEAH so i feel like he's. GONNA hit
i feel like he's not gonna be this way all.
YEAR long i had conference he's. Gonna beat that guy's gonna.
Actually hit question new is when he starts. To hit
hopefully by then, he's hitting when other guys can called
off a little bit if they do, go Off which
i'm sure they will because guys don't have hit this
way for the rest of. The year it's sure just
the way. It is it's gonna, come back they come
back down To earth. Hill, tick YEAH but i think

(32:03):
the offense is gonna be, the question and How the
reds play the rest of The. Nationalgue central they haven't
Played the. Cubs yet that's gonna be your biggest h
your biggest team that, you know get Over. The hunks
you win, the DIVISION which i believe is the only
chance to win, the PLAYOFFS because i get said the
less is two dang good, right Now the phillies are
still a. Good TEAM so i think winning the division
and you're only hope of making.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
The, POSTSEASON yeah i tend to agree with you, On.
That eddie thank you for the phone cause good talking.
To you and, you know you don't want to put
like too much onto it, of like oh, my gosh,
you know you gotta win. The division you gotta win. The,
division ultimately it comes down to can you beat the
teams that you're supposed to, be like, for Example.

Speaker 18 (32:41):
The.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Washington Nationals the nationals are a, team, that yes they've
got some, young talent and they've got, some promise but
they're a team That the reds are. Better. Than period
and then you look at a team Like The Chicago,
white sox who are going to be here in. Two
weeks a week and. A half you should Sweep The
Chicago white sox. At home they're eight and. Twenty Three

(33:02):
The pittsburgh, pirates again you're gonna go on. The, road
now you Might Face paul skeins in one of, those
Games but skeens has proven at times this year already to.
Be human, YOU know i don't want to like put
too much of. It on you have to Beat The,
chicago cubs and you have to win that season series
and win thirteen to the games or whatever. It is

(33:23):
but you've got a stretch going into the end of
this month starting on the, twenty third where you Play
the cubs in two out of, three series and then
after that you Play. The Brewers so may twenty third
through the, twenty fifth that's a weekend Here. In cincinnati
they Play, the cubs then they Go To kansas city
for three and right Back to chicago to Play the
cubs again, for three and then after that You play milwaukee.

(33:46):
Back here so like those sorts, Of stretches how Are
the reds responding and what does it? Look like you
know the other, Thing too you mentioned guys maybe cooling
off or heating up or whatever. IT is i would
like to see, a nice Even keeled ellie De. La
cruz you know what's been fun to Watch about ellie

(34:06):
over this stretch that he's been on with the on
bay streak and his. Hit game his hit streak. Snapped
yesterday he got hit by A pitch i think in
the eighth inning and he didn't have. A chance but,
you know he does Not look we talked early when
the offense was really pressing and they went through that
stretch of like getting shut out a bunch of games in.
A row it Felt like ellie was like trying so

(34:28):
hard to just be, the hero be, the savior hit
the ball out of, the ballpark whatever it. Might BE
and i think we've seen A calmer ellie De la
cruz for the last couple, of weeks obviously hitting in
fourteen straight games and being on base now and close
to twenty. STRAIGHT games i think part of, that is oh,

(34:48):
You Okay noelvie martees behind me and he's hitting the.
Ball Well gavin lux is behind me and he's hitting the.
Ball Well And austin hayes is, behind me he's hitting the.
Ball well like when you have that, like Confidence, LIKE
okay i don't have to be the guy to. Do
everything let me just get, on base find a way,
on base and they'll they'll knock. Me in i'll steal.

(35:11):
A base i'll get skill in scoring position. Right AWAY
that i think maturity learning Process for ellie is going to,
be big especially batting in that, three hole which it
seems like he's going to be there for the. Foreseeable
future it also seems like by the Way that matt
McClain is going to be that guy in the, two

(35:31):
hole whether he's performing, or NOT which i think is
indicative of How the reds view him as a hitter first,
and foremost and also maybe a bit of A H
Terry terry, Francona, trusting hey this isn't gonna. Last forever
he's only one hundred and twelve games into his big,
league career he's battled, some injuries and he's hitting in

(35:54):
Front of ellie De. La cruz he's going to. Be
fine and, YOU know i have To ask charlie what
the exact quote Was, about Francona what francona said, about
this but it was something along the, Lines of i'm
not going to be moving guys up and down the
lineup constantly because eventually they're going, to hit and then in,

(36:16):
that CASE am i going to move them back up,
the lineup move them back down, the lineup whatever it.
Might be i'm not going to be doing that on
a game by, game, basis, which honestly, for years that's
something we've talked. About here, you know we've Talked About
david bell in the past not having a consistent lineup
for who knows, how long right like for days and

(36:40):
weeks at. A time it's not the same guy in the.
Same SPOT and I, think francona who HAS some i,
don't know confidence or some structure or the full control over,
the lineup, is like this is how we're gonna. Do
it we're gonna try to get you guys into a
routine and into, a rhythm and we'll see if. That
works we'll take a break when we come back Some

(37:02):
breaking reds. Roster news we'll tell you about. It next
this is since he three SIXTY on espn. Fifteen, thirty
jesus what's going on IN?

Speaker 18 (37:10):
The NFL getting espn fifteen Thirty.

Speaker 20 (37:13):
From iHeartRadio, WELCOME back espn.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Fifteen Thirty I'm. Austin elmore this IS since e, three
sixty brought to You By. Skyline chili whenever you're feeling good,
and Hungry it's. Skyline Time boy coney sounds good. Right
now i'd have a couple. OF those i wonder if
That's Where tyler stevenson's going to stop when he gets back.
To town that's because the BREAKING news i was referring

(37:48):
to just a couple of, minutes Ago the reds have
made a roster move ahead of night's game Against The.
Washington Nationals the, REDS today i gotta turn this DOWN as.
I Speak the reds today activated from the ten day

(38:10):
injured List Catcher tyler stevenson and placed on the ten
day Injured List. Austin hayes he has that left hand
string strain is retro to four to, twenty nine Retro
to april, Twenty ninth so red should, still theoretic what's

(38:31):
The word i'm? Looking for Theoretically Get austin hayes back
a week. From now but, we wondered would somebody go ON,
the il would they keep? Three catchers what's? The, plan
well for the, time being it's going to be. Three
Catchers tyler Stevenson Activated austin hayes two the. Injured list

(38:52):
so as far as left field, IS concerned i think
you'll still, SEE lux i think you'll Still. SEE espinal
i think you'll see a little Bit Of tyler callahan,
as well who's been practicing and playing a little bit
of that position as he comes up through the. Minor,
leagues now the Thing with stevenson and, talked about, you
know the guys being able to hit and. Being CONSISTENT

(39:13):
tyler i would assume is going to be in the.
Lineup tonight if he's good, TO play i expect him.
To play he was not performing at a high Level IN.
Triple a now do you how much do you really
put into. REHAB assignments i, don't know but a guy
who's missed some time trying to get his, timing back
trying to figure. Things out in twenty eight at Bats IN,

(39:33):
Triple A tyler stevenson hit one. Oh seven he had
an on base percentage of two sixty five and a
slugging percentage of five. Point fifteen he had, one homer had,
two runs, batted in and struck out nine times in
those twenty eight. At bats, SO hopefully i just think
when you look at the Production of Travigno and wins

(39:59):
and what they've been able to do at the bottom of,
the lineup you obviously you don't want to take away
from that in favor of a guy who's not necessarily
hitting at a high level. Right NOW but i Would
expect stevenson at the very least to come IN and
dh and maybe kind of take the Place Of austin

(40:22):
hayes towards the middle of. The lineup coming into tonight's
Game The red legs take On The, WASHINGTON nationals i
saw this posted by our new, Stats Guru, lance McAllister
The unofficial Statistician of sincy. Three p sixty the comparisons of.
The bullpens, this weekend we talked about how Good the

(40:42):
reds bullpen.

Speaker 21 (40:43):
Has.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
Been Overall the reds bullpen ranks Ninth In Major league
baseball with a three point four TO. One era they've
given up forty two runs in one hundred and eleven.
Innings Pitched The washington nationals have the worst bullpen. In
baseball that is a seven point one to two er

(41:04):
giving up eighty one runs in one hundred and. Two,
innings yikes that is. Not, good meanwhile, Tonight's Game hunter
green takes the. Mound Four cincinnati green is we don't
do win losses on. The show but he's got a
two POINT seven er and forty three strikeouts. This season

(41:29):
there Are several nationals that have seen. Him Before, Nathaniel
Lowe Luis, GARCIA Junior, Cj abrams Ahm. Ed rosario they've
All Faced hunter, green before As Has, cabert ruiz. Their
catcher none of them have a hit Off Of, hunter
green except For, cabert ruiz who HAS an RBI in

(41:50):
uh and is two for two in his Career Against.
Hunter green the rest, of, them though hitless in three
three two and one at Bats Against. Hunter green reds
will be going up against the left hander by the
Name Of, mitchell parker big fella six, foot four two
hundred and thirty nine pound left hander twenty five years

(42:11):
old so far this season has a two point six
Y five era in. Six starts he's pitched thirty seven
and a third innings with twenty strikeouts in those thirty.
Seven innings his last, time, out though he got roughed
up a, little bit they took On the Mets on april.
Twenty seventh he went, five innings gave up six earned
runs seven. Runs total in, that outing he threw ninety.

(42:35):
Six pitches so overall though he's had a really. SOLID season,
i mean he's got a two point SIXTY. Five era
he's a. Left Hander the reds have struggled a little
bit against. Left handers he toes the slab For the.
Nats Tonight the nats come into this game tonight at fourteen.
And eighteen they are fourth In The National. League east

will get a Chance in cincinnati to reunite With Former Bulldog.
Amrius mins fairchild was a Second Team all american, last
season and at over sixty five and three hundred and,

Eighteen pounds fairchild definitely looks the part OF an. Nfl
guard he has a. Wrestling background at, Its shows fairchild
is a powerful and. Aggressive walk many scouts consider his
skills role pointing to a relative lack, of experience but
most feel he'll only get BETTER with nfl reps and
he undoubtedly has the frame and mentality to be a
quality guard IN. The nfl get To know bengals third

Speaker 17 (45:17):
Are?

Speaker 13 (45:17):
You austin?

Speaker 15 (45:19):
I'm good what's new?

Speaker 21 (45:20):
With you not a.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
WHOLE lot i just Saw this red's roster, Move Here
tyler stevenson, Comes Up austin hayes to the. Injured list
what's your immediate reaction to?

Speaker 15 (45:29):
THAT move I Watched austin hayes's kind of, workout yesterday
kind of anticipating. This move he was probably moving about twenty,
five percent and you know.

Speaker 13 (45:39):
The workout where he was quote.

Speaker 15 (45:40):
Unquote testing it ended up mostly just being a lot
of conversations with the. Medical staffs so. Expected this i've
been saying kind of leading up to THIS that i
didn't Expect the reds to carry three Catchers When tyler. Stevenson,
returned well what's changed is You lose hayes To, the
isle You lose candelario TO. The, IL also i don't
have a timeline Yet. On hayes ideally it's a acclaim.

(46:01):
Like situation here, Turns soon so the twenty sixth man
wasn't probably going to. Play regardless and also their depths
already been tested, Pretty well so, for now at least
for the, short term they'll carry.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
Three catches stevenson while he Was AT triple a didn't
really do. Much offensively is that something that we should
be worried about or is, It, just hey it's a,
rehab assignment you're working.

Speaker 15 (46:24):
On, Stuff yeah stevenson has success or doesn't, have success,
you know over these next couple, of weeks it'll have
nothing to do with how he did on the.

Speaker 13 (46:32):
REHAB assignment i put.

Speaker 15 (46:34):
Zero stock, into that especially. For hitters there are a
lot of examples that show that to be. The case
stevenson actually did, SAY like i want maybe a couple,
extrat bats and he did get a couple, extrat bats,
but again, you know who knows what it'll, look like
but it'll have nothing to do with how the rehab.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
ASSIGNMENT went i was texting with you the other, day
because as, it is when a player is, NOT performing
i try to figure out whether OR not i should be,
as CONCERNED and i always see you is the voice.
OF reason, i said how concerned are You about, Matt
McClain and, you said not really. At all why are
you not concerned?

Speaker 15 (47:07):
About, McLean well i'm concerned with McClain only as much
in that you know his Performance in april has maybe
Cost the reds game or two when, you know you
look at it from winds above, replacement perspective and now
it's added up and now maybe, you know if he
gets another key hit, here There the reds win another game.
Or Two but i'm seeing, Hard contact i'm seeing. Quality

(47:27):
contact i'm seeing an opposite. Field approach he's just getting
beat some in the strike zone and, that happens and
then also a couple of fly balls that he's sitting
or just. Finding myths but in terms of people who
have confidence and from a consistency of an, upside perspective
mcclin's gonna figure. It out, AND then i mean as
Solid as santiago less but a defensively the gap between

(47:49):
him and McLean defensively. In massive just look at that
double play them plane. Mate Yesterday so McLean's not going
anywhere in? The lineup could he?

Speaker 21 (47:57):
Move?

Speaker 15 (47:57):
Down sure YOU know i. Believe him keep him there
for a, little longer even if he, is struggling just
so you don't have to shake it back up when
McClain starts, rolling AGAIN because i DO and i think
they do expect that.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
To, Happen yeah can you explain that a, little bit because,
You know TONY and i have talked about that, a
lot perhaps moving. HIM around I think francona said something
to the extent of what you said about not just
continually moving. Things around what is the mindset there about
keeping him number two in. THE lineup, i mean.

Speaker 15 (48:27):
They think he's one of their, best hitters probably, you
know their most. Consistent hitter and now obviously he has
been their least consistent hitter so far. This season but
there's just a Confidence in matt mcclaim that outweighs the
confidence and probably any Player Outside Elie dela cruz on
this team save him as, a star they expect him to.
Get going, and again if they move, him down they
think we'll probably just end up moving him right.

Speaker 13 (48:48):
Back up so he is as long as the leash.

Speaker 15 (48:50):
As, ANYBODY again i think the quality of flyball contacts
he's making shows that he'll. Be fine there's probably some
cat and mouse pitch selection stuff that hopefully not be
definitely have to be better on the fast ball and
be more aggressive early in counts when he gets. His
pitch but, You know i'll Talk To matt moore too
as well, this week and that's part of. My PLAN
but i think a big part of it as WELL is,

(49:12):
i mean you got missed, whole season and he's getting
his legs. Under him he's getting his timing down and
kind of shaking off that russ and that's what we're
seeing more.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
Than, anything yeah yesterday his one hundred and Twelfth Career big.
LEAGUE game i think sometimes we forget that he's just
now gone over one hundred thirty two games into, this
season two games over. Five hundred what's been the biggest
thing you've learned about. This team now that we're twenty
percent done with twenty, twenty five well.

Speaker 15 (49:39):
Really sticks in My, cross Wednesday like i'll peel back behind.
The curtain it doesn't mean ANYTHING that i was planning
to write, a story but coming out of the, DOUBLE
header i was planning to write a story if even
if they had, won one it would have been their
best record at the End of april since two thousand,
and six and talk about that as a sign of the,
team's growth the side of the. Team's CONFIDENT still i, have,

(50:00):
sense truly sincerely a, professional, composure mature more veteran tight
feel for one the way they play and to the
way they. Carry themselves and that's a Part and i've
heard that as well from, the clubhouse and that's a
reflection of guys, growing up and it's a reflection of guys.

Speaker 13 (50:19):
Getting older and all they had.

Speaker 15 (50:21):
To do for me to write that story was when
one game on. One day but it was kind of.
FITTING that, i mean that kind.

Speaker 13 (50:26):
Of was what last.

Speaker 15 (50:27):
Season was they'd start, playing well they kind of, get
going and then two games that they should win they
lose and it's, you know kind of disappointing or concerning
or frustrating from an, internal perspective and that's what. We saw,
you know they've got to get over. That hump they've
got to get. Past that so this team's been about
as good as, You'd expect like. It's close can they?

(50:47):
Break through nobody knows the answer, to that but that
is that next step they need, to take really sustaining
a run as opposed to just kind of a good
series and then really dropping off.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
After that do you think that mentality can help them
when stuff like, this Happens Like austin hayes goes on
the injured list or McLain struggles for a couple, of weeks, It's,
like okay we've, been here we know how to, do
this we can get. Through this do you think that
those two things can, you know kind of work? TOGETHER positively, i.

Speaker 15 (51:15):
Mean that's what happened when one are they three, and
seven they Go To, San Francisco hunter green carries them
and that then he really does play GOOD week a
basic like what we have seen, that now how that
week Happened Was hunter green was a Superstar At Elie
dela cruz was a superstar for. That week so like
that's kind of the way out, also, though, like yes,
You Know gavin lucks is just, a, mature professional. Polished

(51:38):
Piece Brady singer pegan in, the bullpen the majority of
this bullpen kind of you can say That About, Jose
travin you'll fits that to. A see I Think tyler
stevenson really, fits THAT and i hope probably have maybe
a bit of rust or, you know getting back into
the full swing of things as he. Comes back but when,
he's back that's the kind of hitter he is, as
well so they should be getting passed, that obviously you've

(52:00):
got to see him.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
Do it Talking With, Charlie, goldsmith charlie you Wrote On
charlie's chalkboard earlier this week about the Honesty Of terry
francona and how that can kind of, help guys especially when.
They're struggling what do you make of the Conversations With
jamer Candelario And alexis diaz and kind of where they're

(52:21):
at right Now with francona and with. The, organization yeah
no one.

Speaker 15 (52:26):
Likes, bad news but the vibe from the clubhouse as
a whole is they appreciate the honesty And transparency franconi
even goes, so far as, you know to, the media he,
basically said We've Benched, jamer candelaria and that's just not
something that a lot of managers. Do Anymore, with diaz
it was going out of his way to Not name diez.
The closer even before. Spring training He made diz. Earn

(52:48):
it diaz didn't. Earn it diaz opposite of, earned it negatively.
Earned it and now he's IN.

Speaker 13 (52:53):
Triple a so like it's stuff like that that's a
part of who.

Speaker 15 (52:56):
He is he's very reward based almost in, That way
like what was The best? FRANCONA story i think you
know best nugget is in spring training he would straight
up give one hundred dollars bills to guys who, made
smart winning plays in spring. Training games and now you're
not going to find a guy one hundred dollars for committing,
an air for not holding, a runner or for not.

(53:17):
Throwing strikes but but he finds ways to negatively reward
just to, his style to the decisions he makes guys
who aren't playing that brand. Of baseball so and he's
very upfront and honest about what. He expects guys, appreciate
that guys. Respect that it's definitely been a positive Vibe,
with francona who is handling things kind of his.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
Own way my favorite part about the series With the
cardinals was the three Innings From. Graham. Ashcraft yesterday what
is his ceiling With? THE reds i asked That to brent.

Speaker 15 (53:46):
SEE yesterday, i said cause this guy just be a really.
Good RELIEVER and i think that was a part of,
it too because, like there it's like you can roll
your eyes. With this there was Value In graham ashcraft
as a. Starting pitcher he would probably be if you
line them up, across baseball if you had a fantasy
draft whe each team had to draft, from scratch a five,
nan rotation he'd probably be a number four start of,

(54:09):
a lot maybe a low end number four starter with
upside to. Be more we've seen him be a number
two starter. Caliber GUY but i mean it's not like he.
Couldn't start for what they thought was that he would be,
much better he would be. Significantly improved he'd be a
much cleaner fit than, the bullpen and that's exactly. What
happens you've seen the velocity, Ramp up you've seen the aggression,
ramp up the strike the ability to throw strikes at

(54:30):
a high rate. Ramp up he doesn't have to worry
about that third, pitch anymore which it caused him a lot.
Of headaches he doesn't have to worry about kind of
the dejection of third time through the order, coming up
it's the, FIFTH inning i get. Pulled again nobody likes,
that feeling And certainly. Graham didn't so now he's in
much more of a position that. Suits him they moved
him to the bullpen because he thought he could be

(54:51):
more valuable in, the bullpen.

Speaker 13 (54:53):
And it just Looks.

Speaker 15 (54:54):
GOOD man i know it's a small, sample size but
he truly just looked like a really.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
GOOD reliever i think you'd say that about the bullpen as.
A whole, i mean they gave them some big innings
in this series Against. THE cardinals i think overall the
ninth ranked Bullpen In Major. League baseball and that was
one of the question marks coming into the season was
what exactly this bullpen was going to look like and
how it was going. To perform but it's turned into
a bit of a strength for.

Speaker 15 (55:18):
This. TEAM now i love the back end of, this
bullpen the. High leverage, You KNOW pagan, i Mean but
god's made a lot of fans just the way he approaches.
All this there's some real zip and stuff behind. His
pitches like what a Year that. Pagan's having i've held
Old My tony santien stock since twenty, twenty one and now.

Speaker 13 (55:36):
That's those shares are looking pretty good.

Speaker 15 (55:39):
Right NOW he's i think he's the Guy that francona
shows the most faith most based on the situations he put.
Them in we Talked. About ashcraft then on the, other
side you know the true low leverage. Innings Perspective, brent
suter He's Being. Brent suter Everybody Loves. Brent suter now it's,
the Middle, It's Rogers. Taylor RODGERS so i think the

(56:00):
story of the year with him is they're putting him
in When the reds are losing to. Face lefties he's
a low leverage. Situational guy you'd like more of. Value
there it's when he. Comes Back sam Maul And ian
jabo like having quite. Found roles They're Sticking. Scott barlow
he is kind of a bucked farmer style innings eat in.
That bullpen who probably that's. NOT bad i mean fly

(56:23):
like stick On The teevin war, last year but he
hasn't proven himself to be a leverage. GUY yet i
think kind of the or the underbelly of that bullpen
is something you just when you, start winning those guys
do end up in more high leverage situations because you're
you're winning. MORE games i want to see more from
that group Or is louise made ready to be that?

(56:45):
Right Now jack maxwell has a bit more room, to
grow but can he come Up FROM triple a and
show the elite stuff that he has and be that guy?
Right Now lion richardson has the potential and all the
tools in the world to do that, as well and
he's even a bit, further along but they've kind of
kept him. Stretched out i'll be interested to see how
they manage him there for for a bunch.

Speaker 16 (57:04):
Of reasons we will.

Speaker 13 (57:05):
Get into but what do those.

Speaker 15 (57:07):
Kind of prospects made now in the? Big leagues can
one of them give kind of the red the fourth
high leverage arm which they do. Truly.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
Need yeah Talking To Charlie Goldsmith, charlie's chalkboard Also The

Speaker 17 (01:03:45):
Up off mount?

Speaker 28 (01:03:46):
HEALTHY something i got a mount rushmore of things that, Are,
OVERRATED Okay i PA's guacam on Tequila And zach taylor's.
Play calling how? DARE you, i mean that's a great
list in my. HUMBLE opinion i hope you guys enjoyce
and bourbon. This weekend some Men And julbs.

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
Whude Mo, el mo thank you for. THE talkback, I
mean i get, you know there's a decent number of
IPAs that. ARE overrated i think. THAT'S fine i try
not to drink much anymore, these DAYS but i. Like
tequila guacamole. Is fantastic how? Dare you moe And Mount
healthy and then to Say that zach's play calling, is

(01:04:30):
overrated wouldn't you say? It's underrated the amount of people
that hate him and hate his play calling and completely
complain about, IT constantly i would say it's. THE opposite
i would say.

Speaker 29 (01:04:41):
It's underrated Jacob, and Anderson Ja, NICK krawl i think
deserves a little bit more credit than what he's. Been
given our ownership group does not want, to spend so
he's had to. Get creative He's Signed, Amelia Pegan nick
Martinez Retained tony santion back in twenty twenty three to
a minor. League, contract yes you Have The will myers
And the. Candelario, Deals However Gavin Lux, austin hayes There's

(01:05:07):
A travino austin when there's a lot of. OTHER guys
i can't even mention you Brought in. Espinal, too yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
YOU'RE right i agree, with YOU and i think part
of the reason why They've Fired david bell was because
they felt like he wasn't getting enough out of the
talent that they. Brought in then they Bring in francona
and they give him even more talent to squeeze the
juice out Of and francona has been done a good job.
Of that the problem is always going to be that

(01:05:34):
on your big swings, and misses you've really hurt, The
team like where could that money have Gone that candelario
is making and he's produced basically nothing the Money That.
WILL myers, i mean they at least paid him to
go away. Relatively quickly but when you're spending that much

(01:05:54):
money and you can't you already. Don't spend you have
to be able to hit on, these guys because then
it comes down to your big offseason acquisition is a
five million dollar prove it Deal To, Austin hayes, and
yes if they Had Paid austin hayes fifteen or twenty
million dollars for two or, three years we'd be complaining

(01:06:16):
about the fact that he's always hurt, RIGHT now i,
Get it but think of the other avenues you could
take to address the shortcomings of the roster if not
for those big swings. And misses that's Ultimately what krawl
is going to be, judged by, because yes and whether

(01:06:36):
that's wrong, OR not i. Don't know it's hard to
do his job with the parameters that. HE has i
think we all agree. With that and he's made some
really nice acquisitions and built up the farm system and
he deserves credit. For that, but ultimately you're judged by
your ability to win and lose at the major, league

(01:06:56):
level and the biggest swings have been missed for him
so far at the major, league level and that's an issue.

Speaker 30 (01:07:04):
A Pot simon pike and my Lucky, brother adi your friend,
Of Mine pete rose has been on, My Mind charlie.
Hussell recently and YOU know i once made quite a
bit of money from the. Casino, business yeah let me,
Tell You old PD's quite the friend of the. CASINO
ode I think i'm gonna get this pardon, to happen

(01:07:27):
and looking to get him Into the Hall. Of, Fame
finally i'll also be Renaming The Oval Office.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
Let office, nicely Done. Mister, president yeah, YOU know i
think that's kind of a topic that's slipped by the
keeper this week.

Speaker 29 (01:07:43):
For.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
Us uh in case you, Didn't Hear, rob manfred the
Commissioner Of Major, league baseball said that he Met With
donald trump a couple of weeks ago about, various topics
including Visas for latin. Born players and that's sort, of like,
you know some of the immigration Aspects Of Major, league
baseball And Also. Pete rose and, You know trump has

(01:08:09):
repeatedly said and picked UP the i don't know The
word i'm, looking for but he has gone, to bat
for lack of a, better Term For pete rose a couple,
of times especially after. His, Death now pete had some
legal issues and stuff for fraud or. Something taxing He went,

(01:08:31):
trump saying pardon him. For, that well That's a trump
thing that he would have. To do But ultimately trump,
is Saying Put pete rose back on, the ballot which
this could have been done at any point a long.
Time ago but basically he's trying to say lift the
Ban For Major league baseball so that you can work
together With the Hall of fame to put him back on.

(01:08:52):
THE ballot i, would assume based on The way manfred talked,
about it that it's going. TO happen i would assume
based off the Conversation, with trump and he OPENLY said
i will make an. Official ruling and he, Also said
Manfred that i've been talking To the Hall of fame

(01:09:13):
so that we're. In lockstep that gives me the feeling
that he's going To Remove pete rose from the band
list and. Reinstate him that's. My guess.

Speaker 31 (01:09:26):
Dought to tell you the futures bright For.

Speaker 17 (01:09:28):
The reds they're.

Speaker 31 (01:09:28):
PITCHING great, i mean their hittings a, little questionable but.
That's okay they need to Beat the cubs And the
brewers when they. Play him they always seem to struggle
with that a. Little bit Shout Out, jalen bronson he's,
so clutch. Great balance he can play on. My team
shout out To the pistons after being so terrible.

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
Last, Year yeah pistons are a, fun. TEAM man I
Mean in mo made reference to this on his social,
media too like every time they got, knocked down they
would come right back like they just did. Not quit
last night was the first full playoff Game that i've
watched IN The. Nba playoffs i've watched snippets here, and

(01:10:10):
THERE but i haven't watched a ton, of it to.
Be honest what an awesome game that Was. In detroit back,
and forth up and down. All around it. Was awesome,
hey body Just.

Speaker 32 (01:10:20):
Another jeff your Trip to atlanta brought back memory from me.

Speaker 17 (01:10:25):
WAY back i guess it was.

Speaker 32 (01:10:26):
Early eighties went to visit a Friend. IN atlanta i
went the Game At Fulton county Stadium And dave parker
was taking off that day and he had a perch
at the end of the dugout when we sat, right
there kind of had a conversation and got to watch
pretty much a whole Game With. Dave parker he was
so nice and kind of talked to us most of.

Speaker 17 (01:10:46):
The time it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
Was, awesome wow that's. Really cool that's a fun experience.
Right There, hey.

Speaker 33 (01:10:52):
Austin talkback, matters guy What? Happy friday doing a. Great
job thanks just what you had and know that on
THE red i hope the management doesn't sit back and
do what they did and TWENTY three i think was
or was it. Twenty four, either way it was one
of them where they didn't go out and get no.
Damn help and, you know they had this, team trying

(01:11:16):
and they've got a, Team.

Here they've got, A team they've got. A skipper they need,
a bopper Go, Get yeah i'm right there. With you
and that was one of THE moments I regret i.
HAND up i was wrong on THAT when, i said,
you know kind of set up for the future and
just enjoy twenty. TWENTY three i wish they would have
gone and. Got, somebody, so yeah you would hope you
would think that with the amount of money They're paying

(01:11:40):
francona and just in general, his age and with the
clock Ticking on elie De la cruz and with a
few other guys that you don't necessarily know what their
future is going to, look like you would hope that
there is a certain amount of aggressiveness that's part Of
the reds plan. Moving forward.

Speaker 34 (01:12:00):
Great, job today, Six man and that must be quite
a load off of you not having To carry tony,

was On With scott sloan earlier today that in THE
years i used to be the Producer for, mike McConnell
one of the perks of that WAS that i would
get like the full Forecast From jennifer ketchmark in my inbox.
Every morning so HERE'S what i got. For tonight let's.
See here scattered, showers continue overcast and muggy looks like

(01:14:03):
a sixty percent ish chance of. Rain tonight let's see
what else we. Got here damaging winds and wind gusts
are the. Top concern this could impact the mile race
tonight And the. Reds game chance for Rain on saturday
is nearly one, hundred percent but the big question how

(01:14:23):
many hours of the day is it going? To rain
says the most likely chances afternoon and continuing for the
afternoon hours with nearly widespread coverage. Of rain temperatures to
increase is sixty three degrees due to, the clouds but
there is a potential window of opportunity in the morning
For the TOYOTA ten k and all the. Other races
Here's what i've seen so Far that, saturday night According To,

(01:14:46):
jennifer catchmark, showers fade, its overcast, still muggy low. Fifty,
two tonight scattered, showers, continue, overcast muggy low. Fifty six
so From what i've Seen, for saturday it is supposed
to taper off as. Nighttime approaches And the reds of

(01:15:06):
course have the ultra rare Six forty saturday home game.
Tomorrow night so. THAT'S that i don't KNOW if i
really helped at all during any, of that but there

Speaker 16 (01:25:35):
Procedure yesterday it was the, worst thing one of the
Worst things i've been through in.

Speaker 21 (01:25:40):
My life it was a.

Speaker 16 (01:25:42):
Freaking nightmare But now i'm wrestling. Pretty comfortable i'm just
kind of still out.

SO and i mean that from the bottom of. My

(01:26:12):
anything YESTERDAY except i did catch the end Of the.
Clippers game So the reds were, off, Yesterday, right No.

Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
The reds had a day. Game yesterday they won nine, To.

Speaker 17 (01:26:23):
One oh good Over.

Speaker 3 (01:26:25):
The, Cardinals, cardinals yeah. Final games so they split the four.

Speaker 16 (01:26:28):
Game set cool And, now washington, you, said.

Speaker 3 (01:26:33):
Yep three game set this Weekend, with washington.

Speaker 16 (01:26:37):
They got a couple of, dangerous STARTERS if i recall
at a Pretty, decent Yeah the.

Speaker 3 (01:26:41):
Reds are going to face two of. Them tonight They've Got,
mitchell patrick a big, left hander and Then on sunday
They Play, mackenzie GORE who i think leads the majors
in strikeouts at.

Speaker 16 (01:26:52):
The moment that's what happened Down. In miami we met a.
Couple buzzsaws. That's right i'll never forget that time a
couple of weeks ago when you guys Talked to joe
d and he Said the reds are going to have
to figure out a way to be. Good pictures remember
that he was adamant, about it AND and i but,

(01:27:12):
you know probably every team's like that when you think.
About it the more you think, about it the better
pictures are going to be harder to beat than. Do
those i'm Shocked At gavin lucks. Right now but the
Reason the dodgers got Tired. Of gavin i'm happy for
the guy is that He was he just got hurt

(01:27:33):
a lot, out there and they got a bunch of
infielders coming through, the pipeline and so that's how they
could afford to. Cut Bait but i'm glad he's done
a good JOB because i didn't think he was going
to just based. On history but, you know. We'll SEE
but i don't want to wish ill on the guy
because he's done one of the true. BRIGHT spots i

(01:27:54):
heard you talking about it earlier in. The Show so
i'm happy. For that the guy that they got onm
That the dodgers got From the reds and that trade
was a Guy Named mike strata on outfielder who's doing
real well down in. The minors and then they got
something else From. The redge it's called a compensation brown a.

(01:28:15):
Or something it's so complicated WORK for i guess this
year that he was considered.

Speaker 3 (01:28:21):
The Competitive balance is it the competitive?

Speaker 21 (01:28:23):
Balance?

Speaker 16 (01:28:24):
Pick, YEAH yeah i mean this stuff gets. REALLY crazy
i don't know how these dms keep track of. This
stuff you've got to be.

Speaker 17 (01:28:30):
A lawyer i.

Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
Don't think they should be able to trade competitive balance
picks To the dodgers because the competitive balance exists because
of teams Like.

Speaker 16 (01:28:38):
The, dodgers, yes right how do you temperate? Point off
and YOU'RE the? NBA playoffs i know you want to,
get going but the playoffs have just. Been sensational BEST
year i can REMEMBER For nba playoffs in the first
and second round in a.

Speaker 17 (01:31:37):

don't call hunder sixty Two Major league. Baseball GAMES but
i have all the respect in. The World but i'm here.
For you I'm like Joe and Marty, reliable friday, two o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:31:49):
Let's go, YOU know i may have told this story
on the, air before but the FIRST time I Met,
MARTY brenneman i had worked a couple of spring, training
games producing for him, and EVERYTHING and i met him
in and he says, to, me, says son do you?
Love BASEBALL and, i, Said, YEAH marty i, love baseball and, he,
goes good because you're gonna get real sick.

Speaker 21 (01:32:07):
Of IT.

Speaker 3 (01:32:09):
And i, was, like yeah you, Know what you're. Probably
right so if anybody, would know it would. Be Him
the Orange and blue are in what we call, Good. Form,
tommy yes unbeaten in, six matches have won five in.
A row why are they so good? Right now what's
been the key?

Speaker 18 (01:32:27):
To?

Speaker 17 (01:32:27):
This wins finally, coming together finally, getting healthy finally time
to grow as a? Eunuch TOGETHER and I think i
said it many times and often sounded like a broken
record as we went through the Month, of march and
obviously there's a lot of scheduled congestion in the Month,
of march but it was a team that came together
late in training camp that then faced the Congestion Of

(01:32:52):
champions cup and came through that and found. THEIR form,
i mean you talk about being unbeaten in six with
a five, winning streak They're A alvis powell own goal
away from those all being six wins if you go
all the way back to that Draw Against atlanta United
on march, Twenty second so a perfect Month, of april
couple clean sheets and they're only three. Goals conceded, of course,

(01:33:15):
you know all of these wins have been by one
goal because that's what they do under Head coach Pat.
Noon in that's that's the, calling, Card right but that's
okay because they find a WAY and i think it
speaks to the character of. THIS team i think it
speaks to where. They're at, and now by, all accounts
the entire team. Is healthy so now it's game on

(01:33:36):
into what will be a very busy Month of may
and an opportunity to continue to climb and to. Add
points and, you know currently they sit at first place
In The, eastern, conference effort everything they went Through in
march In, EARLY february i think that you got to
be really happy about where the team is as you
turn the Calendar.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
To, MAY yeah, i mean there's obviously a lot of
good energy in the building when you've won five in,
a row when you're at the top of, The standings
but now, getting healthy does that just kind of increase
the juice a little? Bit more, and specifically like this week,
in training is there a little bit? More competition is
it ratcheted up a little bit as all these guys are.

Speaker 17 (01:34:12):
Back together it has to, be absolutely, because Listen that's
pat nowon and now is going to have to make
some decisions as he looks up and down his team
sheet from week. To week, you know a couple of,
weeks ago he was sliding in whomever was healthy and
available to start in the. Right position and don't forget
there were a couple of games where he was starting
wing backs at center Back And lewis engle had to,

(01:34:32):
slide Inside And DeAndre yedlin started as a center Back
And alvis piles started a, center Back and elvis has
done it obviously the most of all, of them but
that's still not his. Natural POSITION so i think that
the beauty of it now is not only is there's
a competition during, the week but when you see the
team Sheet, on sunday it'll be all, guys playing, you
know in what is. Natural positions but as you go

(01:34:54):
through the game and there's decisions to be made in
match by the staff, for substitutions that it's going to
be a like forfe change that you have a left
back you can, bring in you have a right back
that you can bring in at left wing back or right,
wing back, you know depending on the formation and. The
tactics you have attacking players you can. Bring in you
have midfielders in the, right spots you have. Center BACKS

(01:35:17):
so i think that that's really, the key is that
you're not asking people to play out, a position whether
they're as a sub or as. A STARTER so i
think that that grows. The continuity, BUT yeah i think
there's definitely. SOME competition i can't wait, to see, you
know training when when we're out There at milford tomorrow
to see what it looks like and then flip things

(01:35:39):
Over on sunday when that team sheet. Comes out to
See what pat, has decided because now he has an
opportunity to put his best eleven. Out there but what
does he believe, that today in the first Week, in
may what does his best eleven? LOOK like i.

Speaker 3 (01:35:50):
Can't wait you mentioned how good they are in one. Goal,
games Really Since pat noonan has, been here all these
wins have been one. Goal game how do you? Explain?
It like why are they so good in those?

Speaker 17 (01:36:03):
Tight, matches yeah it's a little bit it's a little, bit,
crazy right just the way that they have been able
to do it and have done it more than anybody
else in. The league, you KNOW they've, i said all
five of these goals decided by. One goal That seasons
ANDY and i we're thirty four. To eight that's eighty
one percent win percentage and games decided by one goal

(01:36:26):
since the start of the twenty twenty. Three season austin's
the only other team to have twenty one goal wins.

Speaker 21 (01:36:36):
Over.

Speaker 17 (01:36:36):
THAT span I guess Austin And new, england now so
they both have won those two teams have twenty in that,
same Spans and austin's twenty Nineteen In new england's twenty.
And sixteen so you know they've they've lost quite. A
few cini lost eight one goal games. THAT span, i think,
you know a lot of it speaks to the character
of the team or the way That that paton manages

(01:36:56):
the matches and is able to push some of the
buttons with his substant utians as the games. Go along,
so yeah it's it's a little, NERVE wracking i think
for everybody at home and or at, the stadium depending
on where. You are makes it a little harder on,
The herd but it's also a little reassuring in some
ways that they find. A. WAY now i think we'd

(01:37:17):
all appreciate maybe a little bit more of a comfortable
victory at this point would be would be good for the.
Little ticker, but listen they find a way and and
pat has managed his team spectacularly since he came on
in twenty, twenty two and imagine that he's going to
continue to.

Speaker 21 (01:37:35):
Do that.

Speaker 3 (01:37:36):
Just that Talking WITH. Tommy G, tom gallader the VOICE Of,
FC Cincinnati fc cincinnati on the road this Week At
New YORK, city fc give us a scouting report for
the opponent, This, Week, TOMMY.

Speaker 17 (01:37:51):
Yeah i think it's a little bit of a. Revenge Match.
For cincinnati i'll be INTERESTED when I when i Chat
With patto sunday for the pregame show how much he
is looking at it. That way But if i'm the
guys on This She son, SIETY team i go in
with a little bit of a chip on. My shoulder,
you know, last year you win win game one of
that best of three series, at home and you Go

(01:38:11):
To new york with a chance to close them out
and don't play very well at All At city field
where this game, will be and you lose three. To one,
you know it's, all right, that's fine because you're going
BACK To. Tql stadium you're gonna find a way. To
win but it Couldn't score and remember that match was
scoreless all the way to, penalty kicks and it goes
to a Shootout In, new york, you know multiple round
Shootout And New york city wins it six' five in

(01:38:34):
the shootout to advance AND Upset f c cincinnati and
then their season, and you know, really the tragedy and.
That was That then the seas parted right as far
as the seating was Concerned In, the Eastern conference With
miami and columbus. Also Being eliminated she sinaty would have
had home field all the Way, Through THE east so
i think that, was very, disappointing you know the way that,

(01:38:56):
it shook out and losing that opportunity to. Host MORE
games so i think you're going in there to, prove
a point but you're going in as a. Very confident
team and, like you said Five on the hop with
the wins and the Perfect, month of April And This new,
YORK city team i think that they are similar in a.
Lot of ways they have a new Head Coach, in
pascal jensen, but they, have you know not too, many

(01:39:18):
NEW players so i think they should be pretty familiar
with what they're. Going to see the, crazy thing is
again it's, not, City field right so it's on. A
baseball field.

Speaker 3 (01:39:27):
I was about to have week what are the challenges
of playing on a baseball and narrow?

Speaker 17 (01:39:31):
Is? A? Pitch right yeah and that's what they. Do
every week so not that our guys haven't done it
and can't go in. There and win it. Just changes
everything how different?

Speaker 3 (01:39:41):
Are the dimensions do you know? THE exact difference i.

Speaker 17 (01:39:44):
Don't know, the exact difference but it's usually about eight
to ten yards more narrow four to five yards, on
each side so it's it's significant and it'll be Interesting
and maybe i'll put a picture of my Social media
BECAUSE pat and i haven't been out. The facility, Yet
this week pat had the Ground screw in milford paint,
the pitch narrow so usually you could see what they're

(01:40:06):
anticipating based on you get, more faded lines YOU know,
what i mean and then you can see the lines
how they have painted it for training this. Week to
prepare so it just changes the game plan. A little
bit but everybody has to deal with it when they,
go in there and obviously it's An Advantage For, new
york city BUT. But f c sinnati. Can overcome that
it's just one of the things and it's, Always You

(01:40:27):
know kevin irell is intrigued when we, go In There
whether Yankee Stadium, or city field and they've gone, back
and forth is how does. The pitch look there's a
lot OF rain JUST i mean i, looked LAST night
so i can kind of. Think about packing and The
Forecast For new york city is very similar to the
Forecast here in, cincinnati this weekend and so they got
to put, that that infield brass down over. THE infield

(01:40:49):
right a couple of years AGO WHEN f c Sincinnti played,
A yankee stadium i want to say it was, When,
HE three no i think it was, Actually twenty two that's.
What it was It was in september of Twenty Two.
At city field. We went in it was the same,
type of thing with a, lot of rain and the
grass was put down the day before the sod on
the infield and it really wasn't. In GOOD shape so

(01:41:11):
i think that's always a question, in these games is
you know, how, and again look it, affects both teams
but it's where is it going to affect a team
in a detrimental way or in? An advantageous way and
and so you're always kind of, Watching the bounce you're,
watching the footing all of those. Kind of things and
then how does it Kind of affect pats tactics for

(01:41:33):
having to? Narrow their play.

Speaker 3 (01:41:34):
Are they building A? Stadium in, NYC.

Speaker 17 (01:41:37):
They all i think. It's twenty seven. It's targeted wrong.
It looks, spectacular their staff, to their credit HAVE Come
to tql, stadium many times multiple. TIMES the tour i
know The Broadcasters At NEW york city fc have have
passed messages up to the powers that be and that

(01:41:57):
just please like copy and paste what they did At Tea.
Q out stadium so hopefully somebody listens and and. They do,
that but no it's a it looks to be just
a spectacular park. At their, building and uh but it's
gonna be a couple of years of of playing at
a base at various baseball stadiums before. We get, There, all.

Speaker 3 (01:42:18):
Right now do you have any like must go to
spots when You Go To? New york city like what do?
You get? Pizza? Where bagels like what?

Speaker 16 (01:42:24):
Do?

Speaker 3 (01:42:25):

(01:49:06):
says at six pm tonight there is a ninety nine
percent chance of. Rain and thunderstorms, and Of course the
reds game starts at, six' ten tonight a special early
start due To the other flying pig activities in. And,

cloudy with a chance of. Rain at sixteen percent the,
rest of the night the precipitation percentage. Goes from thirty

(01:49:50):
we'll take the bets on how long you. Think it's,
gonna go all right so let's transition Quickly. Over to
some Bengals we haven't talked, bengals, at all today which,
if you know me is, kind of a miracle. To
be completely honest but we're officially in that time of
the season where, there IS nothing happening and, i mean
nothing happening except there was a little Nugget Posted, TODAY

(01:50:16):
by diana Russini Nfl, insider for the athletic the Co
Host of the Scoop City. Podcast with chase daniel she
basically was saying that sources she TALKS to around the
nfl might suggest that things are Getting better Between. The
bengals and hendrickson i'm going to play for you this

(01:50:39):
full two Minute Clip from. THE scoop city podcast i
would love to know, your Reaction to it and i'll
give you my. Reaction to it, HERE it is.

Speaker 40 (01:50:47):
People i think we're Looking At them drafting shamar stewart
as this is The End of the Trey, hendrickson Error
In cincinnati and zach taylor came out and was like
essentially shooting, that down of like. This doesn't mean anything
this just we are supplying the needs that we. Have
ON this roster so i did a, little Digging on

(01:51:09):
it and i'm still getting really good Vibes coming out
of sincy that they're going to try to get A.

Speaker 9 (01:51:15):
Deal done with trey how there's the money.

Speaker 3 (01:51:17):
Growing trees over.

Speaker 40 (01:51:18):
There they seem to be trying to move money and
get creative with finding ways to get tray the money
is going to.

Speaker 17 (01:51:26):
Take a hometome discount.

Speaker 40 (01:51:29):
How can you look at this and think He's Not
going to and i'm sure his side if they, heard
this right now they tell.

Speaker 4 (01:51:34):
Me to shut up we're not taking. A, home down discount.

Speaker 17 (01:51:38):
Yeah BUT you're realistic but i think he.

Speaker 40 (01:51:40):
Wants to be there. They want him. THERE stuff could. Happen,
i get it joe.

Speaker 9 (01:51:47):
Who's The.

Speaker 40 (01:51:48):
MOST important person cincinnati i think we figured it. Out
pretty quickly here we. Knew IT a while but i
think this, really doubles, down That you know with burrow
being adamant about, Them Bringing him back. Case haigen at him.

Speaker 3 (01:52:02):
They're Gonna want.

Speaker 6 (01:52:03):
To keep joe.

Speaker 40 (01:52:03):
Happy they're right there how are.

Speaker 20 (01:52:05):
They going to?

Speaker 11 (01:52:06):
Go three for three like it's just like unbelievable that
they're actually gonna maybe maybe be able.

Speaker 40 (01:52:13):
To, sign him Back Meanwhile, they lost sam, Hubbard, He's,
retired Out, Kappa, Sheldon Rinkins by kilton trent Brown. All
Gone from cincinnati t higgins Is back though, bj Hill
Is back and Mike, gsecki stayed WITH cincinnati even though
i really thought he Would, wind Up in denver but
cincinnati was able.

Speaker 3 (01:52:30):
To, bring him back, well.

Speaker 11 (01:52:31):
He took, Less If you, Remember joe, burrow said and
no actually he called Like taking less. In cincinnati he
said Remember He said. The Joe burrow, TACKS and i'm
like i wonder if all these, guys feel that way
but get to play With A, Talent like, joe burrow,
THEY'RE like it's fine i.

Speaker 3 (01:52:46):
Ever play With Him so that's DIANA russini Alongside Former
nfl quarterback Chase Daniel in. The, scoop city podcast, Now
first and foremost chase. Is a former quarterback he's more
of an act. IS an o's guy i don't expect
him to really know and understand the salary cap like

(01:53:06):
so many of Us, do here in cincinnati who over
the course of the last couple of years Trying to
Sign T, higgins and jamar chase we've come up to all.
End Up being capologists the bengals currently have about twenty
five twenty six million. Dollars in cap Space If they
cut jermaine pratt like, they are expected to And If,

(01:53:29):
they cut cordell vohlsen then, all Of a sudden the
bengals are at thirty four million. Dollars in cap Space
let's say what diana is saying in this clip is
true that things are going, in the right direction that
there's optimism about The Ability to sign trey, hendrickson TO

(01:53:51):
a extension which i would think wouldn't be. More than
two years then this is very doable with the way
the cap is Currently. Structured, for the bengals now they
still have to sign their draft. Picks without a, doubt
but moving forward Let's, Say they cut pratt Let's. Say

(01:54:14):
they cut vulson that's thirty four and a half million
dollars in. Cap space, this year right now if you
move on, to twenty twenty six they're at seventy two million.
Dollars in cap space, in twenty twenty seven they're currently
at one hundred and forty million. Dollars. In cap space

(01:54:35):
now part of the reason why we talked about picking
up the fifth Year option on daxx hill was smart
is because of the lack of guys. UNDER contract moving
forward i expect some extensions to get done. Between now
and then.

Speaker 4 (01:54:50):
But.

Speaker 3 (01:54:52):
You have space and The way That the higgins and
chase Contracts were structured and burrows structured and his ability
TO do a simple rea structure in his deals allows
for plenty of cap space this year and plenty of.
Cap space NEXT year So Do i expect trey hendrickson
to all, of, A sudden say hey i. Want, a
hometown Discount no but the bengals are in a better

(01:55:16):
spot financially to bump up his pay at least this
year and give him something next year that you. Would,
think MAKES sense, however as i said we are in
the midst of a time right now in which there,
is nothing going, on and quite Frankly The way that

(01:55:37):
katie blackburn approached this at the owners meetings previously, talking
About you know essentially trey has to figure out, what
makes him happy whether that's being here and playing, for
really good money or if it's playing somewhere else and
trying to be the. Top paid defensive player and it's
two years maybe of knowing where, you're going to be

(01:55:59):
or three years of knowing where you're gonna. What, Makes
him happy listen i've said this from THE very beginning
and i. Stand By it now the bengals are gonna
try to make him play. On his current deal they
have made him an offer and they won't. Budge off
of it trey has accepted these type of, offers in

(01:56:19):
the past and they expect him. To do that, again
and if. Not no big deal we just drafted your
replacement and next year we'll draft another One Because. There's
alway jazz Rutgers that's how. The bengals, view this and also,
let's Be honest here the bengals have bigger fish to.
Fry at the moment we've talked. About this stadium deal

(01:56:40):
they've got to get that done by the, end of
next Month A, lease with hamilton county and also figure
out where the other three hundred and fifty four hundred
million dollars worth of funding is coming from to help
make this. Stadium deal a reality that is taking up
A lot of the. Bengals time right now that is

(01:57:02):
what this time of, the year is for not negotiating.
With DISGRUNTLED defensive ends so i look at this little
nugget or leak or Report Or whatever from diana russini and.
Think this, IS nothing if anything i would assume it

(01:57:23):
Is a attempt by trey's Side to get the bengals back.
TO the negotiating table i don't know anything for certain in.
Sports AND in life but i would assume that it's
been a while since those, two SIDES have talked And
i would imagine trey is getting a little bit antsy

(01:57:45):
and his people are getting, A Little bit antsy And
i'm sure the bengals didn't like that he went and
Immediately ran to the pat McAfee show to talk about
how Shocked he was. At Katie's comments previously so i'd imagine.
The Relationship is fine the bengals feel, comfortable With their

(01:58:06):
deal and trey is trying to put pressure on them
to regain some leverage after he just lost more of
It By. Them drafting shamar stewart the OTHER thing Here
that i think russini is off base is, the idea that,
everyone in her words thought that it Was The end
of trey hendrickson By The. Drafting of shamar. Stewart that's

(01:58:26):
just ignorance everyone knows that He's under contract and stuart,
is an upside guy And They also Have Miles murphy
and joseph osai and this is part Of The vision
of al Golden's Defense that includes trey Hendrickson And then
obviously chase daniel just kind of clueless about the Cap

(01:58:48):
and where the bengals are at and how. It all
Makes sense even if trey wants, thirty FIVE million dollars
which i. DON'T think he does i don't think. He's
at that number, if he wants thirty that's Probably, DOABLE
for the bengals i just don't see. Them getting, to
thirty and again it comes back to the structure of
how you get to thirty with guarantees and injury insurances

(01:59:12):
and all. Sorts of other THINGS so that's Where I,
stand on trey, henderson take a. Break we'll Be back this,
IS sincy three. Sixty espn fifteen thirty lowegger reality is they're.
Probably not good enough he dissects. The local sports scenes,
they're not consistent enough the.

Speaker 1 (01:59:27):

CONCERNED three to six i really should, say four to
six seven to, nine or ten plus which. Would be
very concerned final results are fifty two point three percent
of you, think THREE to six so i guess that's
mildly concerned. But not that concerned twenty five percent, say

The entire, second half but boy what a. Basketball game
that was it.

Speaker 21 (02:08:24):
Was a great series it.

Speaker 22 (02:08:25):
Was A great game that, detroit, team is relentless man
because there were a couple of TIMES last night where
i thought they were about to fold at.

Speaker 21 (02:08:32):
Home and, did not but.

Speaker 22 (02:08:34):
Look we're Gonna Stop short OF jay Williams On espn
saying jalen brunson is The Greatest All, time new york nick.
THAT'S kind of absurd i didn't know they. Were an
expansion franchise but the shot, he made last night the
play that, he made last night the way he put
the team on. HIS back last night i, TOLD you
guys yesterday. I harbored no illusions i am not nuts

(02:08:59):
enough to think that They're Gonna. Be the boston celtics
but to have your team with a. Playoff series is
fun THIS is, something that i, mean let's Face it,
as a reds fan haven't had.

Speaker 21 (02:09:06):
That, in thirty years.

Speaker 22 (02:09:07):
Yeah Postseason advancement for the bengals didn't have that, for
twenty five years, right or thirty, years thirty one Years
and with the knicks didn't have, it for thirteen years
then didn't have. It for EIGHT years and so, i,
savor these Things Baby especially when jalen brunson puts the.

Speaker 21 (02:09:22):
Team on his back that.

Speaker 22 (02:09:23):
Was awesome last Night congratulations to my knicks For Advancing
and clearing derby day FOR me because now i don't
have to.

Speaker 3 (02:09:31):
Watch a game, seven you know what. That's a good
point that. Is a good point now you're not bullish
at all On. THEM with, THE celtics i mean. I
know you weren't you kind of expected them To, Lose
to the pistons but why are you so. Low on
your knicks.

Speaker 21 (02:09:45):
I'm Not.

Speaker 22 (02:09:45):
Low on my knicks, boston's awesome defending champion, tons of
Scoring options beat the knicks. EVERY time They Played i
think new york could maybe get two, games in this.
Series more likely WON but here's what i had a little.
Bit of last night maybe, you've in THIS situation you know.
I as you know THERE'S a place that I frequent
on The west Side of. Cincinnati, on thursday NIGHTS yes and,
