On ESBN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's sportsstation. It's time for sincey three sixty
quick hits on ESBN fifteen thirty.Yes, indeed it is welcome back,
quick hits and locks of the night. Pleasure to be joined now by he
He's right here, mog hi mo. How are you You got people that
don't know where Tony is? Yeah? That guy called me and said,
(00:21):
where's Tony Pike been? Is heangry that he hasn't been on in a
while. He didn't seem to beangry concerned, didn't really say anything nice
about me, just was like,what's going on? Well, I think
you've been doing a good job.Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
Do you know what happened on thisdate in nineteen twenty two? No,
the American Professional Football Association transformed intothe National Football League and the Chicago
(00:46):
Stays transformed transformed into the Chicago Bears. And didn't they beat their first team
like two hundred and sixty six tonothing something along those lines. I believe.
So at one point they were theDecatur Staley's I know you were a
big fan. Oh but yeah,Happy birthday to the National Football League.
Decatur Stalley's related to Dawn, right, I believe so, Yes, somewhere
(01:07):
down the line they are. Youwere at the ballpark this weekend? Was
what was that like? It wasfun Friday, and then it was fun
for a while on Saturday, andthen it's not being fun because the Reds
started running the bases. My daughterran the bases after the game yesterday.
(01:29):
Yeah, that's always a fun thingon Sundays. They let kids run the
bases. She's better at running thebases than the Reds are. I don't
get it. She's seven. Idon't get like, is it because they
have a bunch of players that,you know, maybe aren't really major league
caliber players, But even then,the baseball IQ is something you learned.
(01:49):
I don't know when you're Crosley's age, right, So you and I are
both David Bell guys, right,like, I think it would be fair
to say about both of us.We have, I think, gone out
of our way to defend him whenhe has taken some unfair criticism. We
have gone out of our way totalk about whatever hand he has had and
whatever The Reds are doing good whenthey're doing something good. My guy is
(02:10):
awesome at holding umpires. Accountable.He's apparently not very good at holding his
own players accountable, because what wasthe word that most used after Saturday,
sloppy. Third time in a weekand a half, we're talking about the
Reds playing a sloppy game. Bekind of cool if that stopped at some
point, My guy, why don'tyou stop worrying about throwing tempertensions with the
umpires. Maybe throw some of yourown guys. Yeah, they are second
(02:31):
in Major League Baseball and outs onthe base path. They are second in
Major League Baseball in the times ateam has been picked off fourteen times this
season, They've been picked off.Good teams aren't picked off a bunch.
And look, I understand he mightsay, Well, they're gonna run the
bases aggressively, they're going to forcethe issue, and you're gonna have to
(02:52):
handle what comes with that, whichis they're gonna make more outs on the
bases than other teams. Fine,but it feels like a lot of times
when a guy makes out on thebases, it's totally unnecessary. Right,
Why is Freeley breaking from home whenthere's no force play with a ball hitting
right in front of home plate?So should should The philosophy change because the
players are not good players, maybemaybe maybe you have to play it safer,
(03:16):
right, I think that's a totallyfair question. And then we're gonna
kind of get into that today.Yeah, what else is on your show
this after? Like, I thinkthat is a I think that is a
legitimate and fair question. Uh,we're gonna talk about David Bell's temper tantrums.
Call it, that's what they are. Yes, It's why I wish
I was a baseball manager. Iwould like to be able to get paid
to act like that. But like, all right, yesterday, everybody cheers,
(03:38):
everybody's excited. What purpose does itreally serve? What are we doing?
I mean that guy stunk, Hewasn't very good and Nick Lodolo got
screwed. Nicklodolo had three strikeouts essentiallythat turned into walks. They were all
three two pitches, sure were missedcalls fine again, He's awesome at holding
the umpires accountable. Awesome, heis apparently not holding his players accountable.
(04:00):
Nicolodola pitched with a blister yesterday.Why, it's a good question. Who
else? I don't know. Theygo out of the pitchers. Why I
if it's gonna keep him from beingeffective. Then White, he pitched,
why could you get away with wearinga backless suit coat? I could not
(04:21):
know. I think I could.I think you probably could. I thought
you wore one this morning? Isthat not what that picture was? At
Moeger I wore a regular suit.It wasn't backless, although as hot as
it's been, would have been niceif it was. You know, David
Bell when he got ejected, hetied Sparky Anderson for the most managerial ejections
of all time with the Reds,and he did it in half the games.
(04:45):
So we're gonna ask this pole questiontoday when he breaks the record?
Should there be some sort of ceremony? Should the Reds have a moment?
Should they give him like a carafor something like put something on the scoreboard
and then the crowd rises to theirfeet. Well, let's just say that,
like Ellie Dela Cruz one day breaksJohnny Bench's record for most home runs
(05:05):
in Reds franchise history, they'll dosomething the subsequent game, right, I
mean they're not going to interrupt,but like they'll, they'll do something.
So when David Bell hits ejection numberthirty one, should there be some sort
of commemoration of this, We're gonnaask this pole question today. You know,
I think it would be cool.Every year, you know, Finley
Market gives the opposing manager on openingday of fruit Basket. Yeah, maybe
(05:28):
they should give one to David.That would be nice. Does what do
you think he does in his officeonce he's been ejected? It's a good
question. He doesn't seem like aguy with a lot of vices. No,
I don't think he's ripping cigarettes orany Probably. I mean he did
go to Moler. Sam Bruchalis isgoing to be on our show. I
maybe am saying his name wrong.He is with us Sumer Sports Hell,
(05:49):
yeah, and uh, he's gonnatalk contracts. Bengals T Higgins Jamar Chase
specifically fantastic in the aftermath of aJustin Jeffers and getting his deal. Also,
could I now score against f CCincinnati because all their defenders are getting
hurt? Probably not, but yourchances have increased a lot, exponentially exponentially,
(06:11):
I had something else I have totally. I am the most disorganized person
in America today. Yeah. Iwould love to be able to tell the
audience where I did my show prepfrom today, I cannot do that,
and so I have notes scattered everywhere. Oh oh, we had a baseball
game that ended with a pitchclock violation. Yes, it was awesome, it
was incredible. It was that guy'sninth violation of the year. I believe,
Sorry, pal, it ain't hardman. He was in disbelief.
(06:34):
Yeah, and his manager's like,uh, throw the pitch, right,
throw the pitch Tonight. I amreally really looking forward to something. You
