Speaker 1 (00:00):
In fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Over four with the free strikeouts. Today the fits of
good minute slung on and he swings hits it straight
up in the center field. Dane Meyers is over and
under it. He's got it, and that's it. Red's what it?
Six to four over the Rockies. A great American vaulflier
here this afternoon, and the Reds take this series from
Colorado two games to one.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Hey, god go Tommy Thraw. Reds Radio Network seven hundred WLLW.
That is terrific. Good afternoon. This is not seven hundred WLMW.
It's ESPN fifteen thirty. But unlike some outlets, we give
proper credit, we give proper attribution. Good afternoon. I'm Mawegar.

(00:45):
This is ESPN fifteen thirty. Thank you for listening. Hopefully
you're having a terrific Thursday afternoon, perhaps made a little
bit better by the fact that the Reds had a
nifty six' four come from behind win over The Colorado
rockies AT. Gabp cincinnati is now twelve to zher a
major league record twelve and oher in games decided by

(01:07):
two runs or. Less now today it was a two run.
Game it was a two run game Because Emilio pagan
gave up a couple of runs in the ninth, inning
and there were some nervous moments in the ninth inning AT,
gabp but nonetheless they win the. Ballgame this, Afternoon cincinnati
getting a home run off the bat Of Nathaniel low

(01:27):
his fifth and six. Games what a pickup he has.
Been that Cut colorado's early two to nothing deficit to
two to. ONE Tj friedel hit a two run shot
in the fifth. Inning cincinnati added a couple of, runs
one in the sixth and then two more in the.
Eighth led six to, Two colorado scored twice Off Amelio

(01:49):
pagan to make it a six to four. Ballgame cincinnati
wins another, series a successful home, stand two out of
three From, detroit two out of three From. Colorado The
reds are now twenty and eleven heading to the First
It's april, Thirtieth so let's not make any game or,

(02:10):
series or road trip or home stand out to be
bigger than it. Is but this one coming up starting
tomorrow has a little bit more punched to. It The
National League central so far this season has been. Terrific
now The pirates have fallen back To, earth having lost
four consecutive. Games they are playing The Saint Louis cardinals

(02:31):
this afternoon and losing in the top of the eighth
inning by a score of a seven to. Four but
it's a road series against The. Pirates by the, Way
Paul skeen's pitching that game today and struck out a
bunch of guys but gave up two. Homers so The
reds aren't gonna Get Paul. Skeens this. Weekend they go
To pittsburgh and then a four game series that starts
On monday against The Chicago, cubs and that's gonna have

(02:55):
maybe slightly more punched to it than your typical early
mace between The reds And Chicago. CUBS a few things
about the game today that we could talk. About one
is just the fact that the schedule is handing The reds.
Victories AND i don't do that to minimize The Colorado,
rockies who scored thirteen On cincinnati last, night five against
J Jose trevino in the ninth. Inning but you, KNOW

(03:20):
i think we sometimes make too much of who you,
beat right who you, playing and playing anybody any, good
what happens when they play good team. Like first of,
all THEY'VE i, think what fifteen and four is their
record against teams that as of yesterday were above five.
Hundred more than, anything just stack, wins build a, cushion
and the more you win, early the better insulated you

(03:41):
are against something happening to your team in the middle
of the season or late in the. Season one thing
that has happened to this team is they've dealt with
injuries with the starting, Staff Brandon williamson now the latest
with a fatigue. Shoulder the thing today, though THAT i
think stood out more than anything was they got a
good start From Andrew, abbott and it didn't start. Great

(04:04):
colorado scored two in the first and Then Andrew, abbott
as they, say settle down and settle down, nicely ghost six,
innings gives up two. Runs reds win the ballgame six to.
Four we've talked a lot about how this team Needs
Andrew abbott to pitch, better for a variety of, reasons
not the least of which is Without Hunter, Green without right,

(04:26):
Now Nick, Lodolo with all the inexperience The reds, Have
Andrew abbott supposed to be one of the constants he's
supposed to be one of the reliable guys that you
can count on that at least is going to give
you some. Length and you can say the, same perhaps
to a lesser degree About Brady. Singer but along with
that With Andrew, abbot or the concerns that maybe what
he did in the first half of the season last

(04:48):
year is a real outlier and perhaps some of the
issues we saw him have in the second half of
the season last, year and he it wasn't like he was.
Atrocious but but perhaps if you were hoping That Andrew
abbott would return to his first half of the season
form from last, year maybe that hope is a little

(05:08):
bit far, fetched and you could arrive at that conclusion
or at least wonder that based on how he has
pitched for the majority of the season so far in
twenty twenty. Six but more than, anything they just need
more from. Him they need more, length they need more
performances that are really. Good they need to win more
games than he. Pitches today he was good and he gave,

(05:31):
up gave him some soft, contact and sometimes that. Happens
BUT i felt like today in the fifth inning is
Worth it's worth making a mental note about the fifth,
inning Because colorado loaded the bases in the fifth inning
in part because of a bunch single and in part
because of an infield. Hit basses, loaded one, out fifth,

(05:57):
Inning colorado is up two to, one felt like a
pivotal moment in the. Game, right if you get out
of this within your down to to, one you have
fifteen outs to play, with like like your chances good,
bullpen give up some runs there and it's it's a
little bit more. Difficult. Right Andrew abbott got out of the,

(06:17):
inning and he punctuated the fifth inning with the bases
loaded and two outs by striking Out Hunter, goodman a
guy who can hit the ball out of the, ballpark
by the, Way and that felt like a pivotal moment
in the, game felt like, potentially maybe the keyword is,

(06:37):
potentially felt like a pivotal moment In Andrew abbot's. Season
maybe maybe in his next start he gives up eight
runs in two, Innings LIKE i had no, idea BUT
i think what we do know is like The reds
chances of having the kind of season that we're hoping,
for in the kind of season that certainly their start

(06:57):
would suggest they're capable of having those chances are enhanced
If Andrew abbott returns to, form or if at least
he pitches better than he has to this point this,
season and maybe the fifth inning ends up being a
little bit of a turning. Point who, knows your guess

(07:17):
is as good as. MINE i did not think it
was at all insignificant that he came back out for
the sixth inning and they gave up two run hit
and then struck out the final batter to round out his.
Afternoon he got some defensive help. Today Sal stewart made a,
really really nice play in this ball, game and it's.

(07:40):
FUNNY i went to the game for the first two
winnings AND i heard the crowd cheer AS i was
exiting the, ballpark and they were cheering The Sal stewart
play that he made at third. Base they also got
another brilliant play From ellie de La. Cruz on a
ball that seemed like it was headed toward center, field
he makes a play on the right field side of second,

(08:04):
base And Ellie Dela. CRUZ i was listening To Jeff
brantley talk about, This Ellie, delacruz you could just feel and.
See we talk all the time about hitters gaining confidence
and hitters benefiting from. CONFIDENCE i think With ellie in,
particular that could apply to his. Defense be, honest, Man Ellie.
Delacruz last season was an adventured, defensively and you AND

(08:29):
i got to a point at times during the season
last year where you held your breath every time the
ball was hit to. Him you can't tell me that
if you AND i were holding our breath wondering what's
going to happen when the ball is hit To elie Dela,
cruz that that wasn't in his head as. Well doesn't
feel like it. Is this Year he's played a, good,
solid at times spectacular. Shortstop speaking of, Spectacular Emilio pegan

(08:51):
struggled in the ninth, inning But Connor. Phillips Connor phillips
might be a little bit of a stretch to say
he should be the closer right. NOW i think he's
going to be the closer here. Soon he pitched a
scoreless seventh, inning striking out the. Side Tony, santien who's
had one bad, outing pitched the eighth, inning picked off a,

(09:11):
runner And Emilio pagan finished the. Game and it wasn't
exactly a clean ninth inning For, emilio but they win
the ball game six to. Four cincinnati is now twenty and,
eleven a winning homestand for a team that was six
and six coming in, there now ten and eight so
far this season AT, gabp with a seven game road
trip beginning, tomorrow we'll have some reaction from a Great american.

michael lorenz in this game turned in the fifth INNING

(12:40):
When tj friedel it has been a rough SEASON For.
Tj friedel it is in particular been a rough season
from the standpoint of hitting. Against RIGHTY'S So tj friedel
goes yard two run shot Gave the reds a three to,
two lead his second home run of, the season and
he talked after the Game ON Red's Tv JIM, day

(13:03):
dj how important are victories?

Speaker 6 (13:05):
Like?

Speaker 7 (13:05):
Today huge that was a, gritty, win uh gritty series
win all the way through great homestand but you know
games like today show like why we're such a good
ball club and and the belief in ourselves never out of.
The Game abb an incredible start out, of him keeping
us in, the game and then just kind of adding
on late, like that just tacking on runs late and
then closing.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
It out that was a gritty win. For, sure yeah
the key to Add on you never know what's.

Speaker 8 (13:29):
Gonna happen you give up a couple AND then i
got interesting, with man those add on.

Speaker 7 (13:33):
Runs, huge yeah that's it's huge adding on late, like
that and, you know we obviously trust our bullpen with
everything AND and ep closing it out.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
For us, so YEAH like, i said gritty win to
run home run by you can you take us through that?
At bat is the second pitch of, the bat got
one down And, THE yeah i.

Speaker 7 (13:49):
Got one down And in and the biggest thing is
just being on time for heaters. Right now and for
me that was kind of like getting a good pitch
of hit and and just kind of letting the.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Rest take care. OF itself, i mean you made it
adjustments as you've gone. Along here just being.

Speaker 7 (14:03):
More aggressive being on top of the fastball is the.
Biggest thing you're on top of, The fastball you're on
top for. Everything else so, you know just continue day.
By day grants on the, Series victory thank you. Appreciate
it there. You GO That's tj friedel with Our Buddy
jim Day ON. RED'S tv tj with his second home
run of, the season a two run shot in the
fifth and then Gave the reds of three to.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Two lead they would go and to win the game. Six'
four terry francona's team a four and. Two home stand
here he is with reporters. After The game.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
Like abbott really got into. A nice rhythm what did
you see?

Speaker 3 (14:37):
FROM him.

Speaker 9 (14:38):
TONIGHT i agree i even think in, THE first inning
i mean Give the gif. FREEMAN some credit i just
didn't think. Off the bat this is probably one of
the few ballparks and today it's. A home run I
think when, i went up we thought it. Was an
out but after that he Really looked like abbott started throwing,
this change up, gotten, a rhythm pitch uses fastball up

(15:00):
a little bit better than he has and. Was very
effective what'd you like about? Your offense today TIMING when we,
tj you know all, of a sudden you're down one
and You're up on it changes the whole complexion. Of
the game and then we kind of, stayed at it
which is a good thing because how many times you,
hear you know if you, make a mistake you don't

(15:20):
want to. Cost your, game you know they got a
couple of hits in the in the ninth that it
ended up not being extra innings.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Or we lose.

Speaker 9 (15:28):
There are some really.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
REALLY task.

Speaker 9 (15:30):
PLAYERS i, Agree I agree ELLIE'S elie's that's i Don't
know if i've ever seen somebody get thrown out from short,
center versal right that's. That's pretty impressive you.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
Guys have obviously deal with some injuries in The rotation
for abbot to Look more, like abbot again and how
important is that going forward.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
While you trying to.

Speaker 9 (15:51):
COVER these times i can't think of a day. WHEN it's,
not i mean there there's always a good time for
him To. Look LIKE abbot BUT i get i, get your, Point.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
He said terry for him to work out with, that bast.

Speaker 9 (16:04):
Microphone the reporter and then and then even, in the sixth,
like we Had we had johnson up and they had a,
couple of righties and again they may, have PINCHED hit
but i just thought he was throwing the ball the
way HE should and i thought he deserved to try
to see if he could. Finish That Inning.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
That's Terry francona aka tito with reporters and their muffled questions.
After the game reds win the ball game. Six to
four the The Play That ellie, Dela cruz made it's
the second time this week where he makes a play
that you you wonder if there's another shortstop who. Can
make them, and you know we've we've beaten this to

(16:45):
death over the last really since the season started because
he's played a very clean shortstop for the most part.

Speaker 6 (16:55):
And.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
At times, spectacular you know last year was, the FIRST
time and i can only, speak for myself last year
was the FIRST time that i thought like that the
questions about Whether or not ellie was best suited to
play shortstop. Versus other positions last year was the first
time those conversations made, sense to me because he was

(17:19):
such an adventure at short and you would put a
lot of time in him, at that position and, it
felt like, you know what this isn't? Getting dramatically better
would it make sense to have him out there in?
Center field now not just throw him, out there blindly
not do with him what They Did with noelve marte,
And right, FIELD, But, like whoa okay if he, continues to,
be you, know an adventure if he continues to make a,

(17:41):
lot of errors, you can't, help, but wonder like does
it make sense to put? Him somewhere else ideally. Those
conversations stop and ideally They stop because ellie is playing
shortstop at a high enough level that you're no longer
wondering should he? Play somewhere else because if if you play,
him somewhere else you're taking, your best player And Nothing.

(18:03):
Against sal stewart he is still. Their best player you're taking,
your best player and you're basically throwing aside, all the
time effort and energy he has devoted and you as
an organization have devoted to him learning how, to play
shortstop and you're starting from scratch during a period of
time where he is supposed to be peaking. As a

(18:24):
player and so he's playing a very good short it's
the most important position. On the field he's, making great
plays he's, making routine plays and we're no longer talking
about him perhaps one day being best suited to. Play
the outfield twenty nine minutes after three o'clock five point three,

(18:46):
seven four nine fifteen thirty sports headlines And what the
bengals Have Done with MILES murphy, and i, guess more

From tj friedel CINCINNATI now an mlb record twelve and

(19:40):
zero in games decided by two. Runs or less cincinnati
with a four and Two homestand the reds are twenty
and eleven and obviously with a LEAD In the nl
central that they have expanded to one full Game, over
the cubs who. Don't play today they Take on The diamondbacks.
At wrigleyfield tomorrow there are games HAPPENING In. The Nl,

(20:02):
central the cardinals in the top of the Ninth inning
in Pittsburgh lead the pirates by a score. Ten to
four buckoes have lost four straight on the verge of
losing a. Fifth Consecutive Game Paul. Skeen's pitch Today reds
and pirates play a three game SERIES At beautiful pnc.
Park This WEEKEND well invoice pnc for. The free plug

(20:24):
Also In The National league central milwaukee has an eight
to one Lead. Over the diamondbacks they are playing at
home today and batting in the bottom of. The sixth
inning reds did make, a ROSTER move and i think
to anybody who paid, attention last night it did not come.
As A surprise brandon williamson heads to the injured list with.
Left shoulder fatigue he's. Obviously a lefty there was something

(20:48):
kind of janky about how he exited the, game last
night so he goes on. The injured list he's on
the fifteen, day Injured List and zach maxwell Righty UP From.
Triple A louisville the bengals have decided to decline the
fifth year option On Edge, rusher miles murphy which means

(21:09):
twenty twenty six will be the Last year that murphy
is under Contract play in, cincinnati or otherwise, maybe better
put he could be a free agent after. THIS upcoming
season nba. Playoffs continue tonight we have Three game Sixes
nix And. Hawks In atlanta new york is up. Three

(21:29):
to Two celtics And. Sixers in philly boston is up,
three To two T wolves And. Nuggets in minneapolis wolves
lead that, series three. Games TO do the nhl A
Pair of stanley. Cup playoff games Game six Is, dallas
and Minnesota with the wild up three two. In that
one game Six, is in minneapolis then that's a fun

(21:49):
Sports not in. Minneapolis Now right And edmonton and Anaheim
with the ducks holding on to a three to two
Series lead playing game six at. Home this evening what else?
Do We Have the, miles Murphy Thing the. Miles, MURPHY
thing ah i don't think any one of us would
have been like stunned had they picked up the fifth

(22:11):
year option for the Simple Reason that miles murphy really
came on at the end of the. Year Last year
the bengals have made it known They Still want miles
murphy to be. Here long term declining the option Doesn't
preclude the bengals from getting. An extension done but they've
got they've got like thirty six million dollars in cap

(22:33):
space for the twenty, twenty seven Season And so miles
murphy what would have been fourteen and a half mill
which is what they would have to pay him had
they picked up the fifth year option in. Twenty twenty seven.
That's fully Guaranteed And so Duke tobin on monday did
say it's going to be a financial decision one way.

(22:54):
Or the other so there's there's already a whole lot
of doughmuted to a, handful of players and so fourteen
and a half mil guaranteed for, twenty twenty seven it's
a lot of money to throw at a guy who's
had one productive half of a season out of three
now certainly feels like he's. An Ascending player miles murphy

(23:15):
in the second half of the season was one Of
the few bengals players who played really. Well on defense
there was a lot to like and there's every football
reason to want that guy to be a part Of
what the bengals are, doing long term and maybe they can.
Get something done but, with the wave they've committed a
lot of money to a handful, Of guys financially like
there's Is it gets it gets a little weird when

(23:39):
it comes to A Guy. Like miles murphy plus you, consider,
the fact right they Did Just, acquire boye mafe and
they did Just Draft cash as howell and a year
Ago They. Drafted, shamar stewart like there's. Lots, of dudes
Also You, get miles murphy you would imagine An Extraordinarily
motivated miles murphy going into. His contract year bengals can.

(24:05):
Benefit from that miles can if he wants to, in
a year walk, in free Agency assuming the bengals don't
apply the franchise, tag to him, and you know have
a great year and then maybe hit. The open, market
so this to me isn't necessarily. A bad thing we'll
see twenty minutes away. FROM four o'clock i did SOMETHING

(24:32):
yesterday that.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
I.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Thought was okay we did A Segment on joe burrow
not being there for phase one of the, offseason WORKOUT
program which i don't have a. MAJOR issue with i
still don't. Think it's insignificant we tried to be. REASONABLE
about this i got an Email, here FROM hannah and

(24:59):
i got a NOTE here from i have a name
here accusing me of well making this to be a
bigger deal. Than it is put it. That a knot

(25:21):
so let's elaborate on THAT next on, Espn FIFTEEN.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
Thirty cincinnati's Espn fifteen thirty traffic.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
From The Uc health traffic center At The uc Health Backneck.
And spine center spine care is never one. Size fits
all you can find To.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
The, nationally central, So For instance kansas City and the
a's Are playing In sacramento and casey leads that game
to one at the bottom of. The second inning Orioles
beat the astros Ten Three. At camden yards tigers winners
Today over the Braves in suburban atlanta. Five to, two
phillies won they've they've played Pretty Well under don mattingly
three to, the final Score Knocking. Off san francisco i'll

(26:00):
answer your. Questions For you and Nationals beat The mets in.
Queens five four, so you asked what's? HAPPENING in baseball
i just gave. It the answer here's something you. Need
to KNOW we ARE i think i believe this. To be,
true you know radio stations have a lot. Of cool
contests ours. Is the Best The, mor lawn contest which

(26:24):
we name the winner or we, PICK the winner i
should say and reveal his or her identity three, weeks
from today so you only have three weeks. To sign
up it will not take you three weeks. To sign
up But The moor law contest is awesome because it
combines two. Really cool prizes the first prize is a

(26:47):
brand New lawnmower from baxlattractor self propelled gas Powered lawnmower
from baxlattractor that retails for over. Six hundred bucks we
also put we filled the gas to or we will
fill the gas. Tank for you and by the time,
WE do that i should do it now because if

(27:07):
we wait until the day that we deliver the lawnmower to,
the winner's house gas might be like twenty seven. Dollars
a gallon it might cost less to buy the lawnmower
than it does to fill. It with gas so we're
gonna fill it with. Gas, for you now that is.
A cool prize like if, you won that, you'd, BE
like dude i want a. Brand new mower but. That's,

thinking man okay is. There a catch there's.

Speaker 5 (27:51):
No.

Speaker 3 (27:51):

(28:33):
announced the winner on this show three, weeks from today
but don't. Put it off, do it now twelve minutes away.
FROM four o'clock i said yesterday that it's in the
sports talk radio handbook if the starting quarterback OF the

(28:53):
local nfl team isn't there for something, whatever it is
any sort of, a team atvity but especially like in
the phase one of the off, season workout program that
you've got to make it out to be a bigger deal.
Than it is you have an obligation to do at
least one, segment ON it and i did one, segment
ON it and i did not make a big deal,

(29:15):
out OF it because i don't think it's. A big
deal but something cannot be a big deal but, also
be noteworthy at. Least not insignificant and when your quarterback
is the A Lister that, joe burrow is and when

(29:36):
you have a Meal Ticket, like joe burrow and when
you have a quarterback who many wonder about where you
know he is mentally and emotionally as it relates to
his Relationship, with the bengals then when you're absent, from
something that even, if it's voluntary even if, it's not.
Mandatory It's noteworthy joe burrow's. Absence is noteworthy his absence

(30:03):
should not make you feel Any Different about joe burrow.
Than you do his absence should not make you feel
any worse about this team's fortunes for the twenty. Twenty
six season his absence from phase one of a voluntary
program should not make you feel any Different about where

(30:25):
joe's priorities are or the six years of willingness to
lead and prepare and be ready to play like however
you Have Felt about joe burrow, for SIX years which
i would imagine those are. Mostly positive thoughts they should
not be extinguished because he's decided to not show up for.

(30:45):
Glorified GYM class and i think most of us would,
agree WITH that and i think you, can BELIEVE that
and i think you can state that will also acknowledging
that it would be cool if. He was there but
the Cool Thing about dexter lawrence is not so much that,

(31:05):
they got him and that's. Obviously really cool it's he
seems like stoked. TO be here a lot of guys
that when, they Get, Traded they okay, I'll tell them,
I'll get there i'll, Take my time i'll do the
MEDIA availability when i get. Around to, it and like
within two days of finding out he, was being traded

(31:27):
he was going. Through voluntary workouts he Went to the
bengals season ticket event during The. Draft last thursday like
this dude seems like he's pretty excited To Be. A
cincinnati bengal he seemed like it when he was on our, Show.
Last week significance It's Cool that dexter. Lawrence is. Here

(31:50):
Be cool joe, Burrow was here like sometimes your mere presence.
Sends a message sometimes showing up early. Sends a message
sometimes showing up late. Sends a message sometimes showing up
at things that you don't have to be at. Sends
a message i'm not gonna compare MYSELF to, an nfl

(32:16):
player much less A Guy. Like joe burrow but early,
in MY career like i, wanted, This badly man like
THIS is ALL i all i ever. Want TO do
since i was little kid was working at. A radio
station i get my first full time job at. A
morning show I'm Working, with JIM scott and i, REMEMBER
going like i need this guy to know this is.
Important TO me so i would Drive from The university
of dayton at three o'clock in the morning TO make

(32:38):
sure i was here Thirty minutes before, jim GOT here
because i wanted him to know. This is important this
is this is a big. Deal to me. This is big.
This is important sometimes showing up early. Sends a message
sometimes showing up when you don't have to be there.
Sends a message, where you work if there's a big
meeting and it's not necessarily manned to and it doesn't,

(33:00):
really involve you but, YOU show up. I promise you
i promise you to whoever you work for, or work
with send a little bit, of, a message right or
you don't show up to those, sort of things send
a little bit. Of a message showing up sometimes is
the intention isn't to send a message, by showing up

(33:21):
but it still does the reason why parents prioritize showing
up at. Their, kids' events yes you want. To watch
them also you want, them to know like this is
a big, deal to you it's a big. Deal to
me those same principles Can Apply. To joe burrow doesn't
mean he's, a bad. Guy bad, teammate like dude If you're,
a bengals fan how do You Not? Love joe burrow

(33:45):
that dude is almost single handily responsible for a lot
of us. Maintaining our fandom that guys guy delivered five
playoff games when there are a lot of folks Who
love the bengals had never been. Alive for one so
this is no, indictment against it just it would be
cool if, He, was there, ted IT'S all and i

(34:05):
think it would send maybe, a subliminal message maybe more than. A, subliminal,
MESSAGE hey look i know IN the past i haven't been,
here for this but this, year is different and doesn't
it feel like this is a critical season. For this franchise,
if it wasn't why did they just do something, they've
never done trade away a pick for. An established player

(34:27):
they've been aggressive, With the roster they've spent money like
this feels like a different. Type of season it feels like, A,
season where okay It's Big. For zach taylor now, you
know what you only get so many. Defensive, coordinator tries
okay we're gonna. Invest in it let's. Go big boy
feels like it's kind of a Big Season. For duke
tobin it's a huge season. For this franchise. Things, are,

(34:50):
Different so yeah joe's absence, in, other years okay this
it would be consistent with the of this year Being
different if. Joe were there and nobody's making this out
to be a bigger deal. Than it is nobody is
pitting the two sides. AGAINST each other i think you
have to acknowledge that there are no shortage of people

(35:13):
who will create content around The idea that joe is
ultimately going. TO leave here.

Speaker 6 (35:20):
I.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Don't do that most people here. Don't do that BUT
you and i both know there are people who'd love
to create content around the belief that is Out there
that joe is ultimately Going to. Decide i'm good time to.
Go somewhere else those folks can take something like this and.
Run with It so whatever, joe is, doing man like,

(35:44):
live your life like enjoy the, trappings of celebrity enjoy
the trappings of being. A star quarterback whenever, he GETS
here and i think most believe it's going to happen
here sometime in The. MONTH of may i think we
all expect him to do everything you can to prepare, for,
the season lead be, a great teammate go on and have,
a terrific year and hopefully get this team back. To

(36:05):
the postseason but wouldn't it be cool if? You were
here wouldn't that wouldn't that amplify the fact that this year,
just seems, different is different has a different, Feel to
it there's a little bit more, Urgency to it like
this team has missed the postseason the. Last three years

(36:26):
that is not supposed to happen when you're kind of
set at quarterback like that is not. Supposed to happen
it's not supposed to happen when you are within The
window the bengals are supposed to be in coming off
BACK to back. Afc championship games maybe it was unreasonable
to expect them to make the postseason each of the,
next three years, but hell yeah it was reasonable to

(36:46):
expect them to at least not miss the postseason each
of the last three years or each of the. Next three,
years so like it's the job is to talk. About
the team there's a, lot to discuss from what they've done,
in the draft to, who they've acquired to holes, on
the Team To the. Miles MURPHY decision but qb, not

(37:08):
being there that's that. Is, A thing sorry like it's
it's Different If it's joe burrow versus anybody else, on The,
team Including, jamar including tea because of the nature of the.
Player's respective positions, and hell yeah they're throwing and doing
Stuff away From cincinnati that joe has Put, on his
instagram and. That IS awesome and i think we would
be shocked beyond a belief to find out that he

(37:30):
wasn't doing, something football related even if, he's not here
but him being here would deliver A message that i think.
Would be heard so to speak, very VERY loudly and
i wish he was here, to SEND it and i.
Bet You a Zach Taylor and Duke Tobin and. Mike

(37:51):
brown AGREE this is, ESPN fifteen thirty espn. Fifteen, Thirty,
fun right. Yeah That's fun andrew an, Pitch well today.

Speaker 10 (38:04):
THAT'S.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
That's fun tj friedel.

Speaker 7 (38:06):
Hit a.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Homer That's Fun nathan noel long. Went deep. Again That's
fun sounds, stewart played third made a. Really nice play
we're gonna talk later on this hour with one of
The Experts from Ortho cincy h and one of the
things we're gonna Discuss Is that johanio sorez with. HIS
oblique issue i feel, like, in baseball specifically the one

(38:30):
injury where it feels like it's it's kind of hard
to wrap, your brain around like when a guy is
gonna come back is when he's dealing with. An oblique
issue and That's what a gino has been sidelined. With
here recently but IT sounds like i don't, like the
guy and It sounds like i'm, picking on him and
and he's hit the, ball BETTER recently and i am
the first to admit he's he's had some he's had.

(38:52):
Some bad luck But The key brian hayes thing for,
Me all along my question has been, for all like
doesn't he have to hit? A little bit but there's
gotta be like a baseline level at which he? Has
TO hit and i don't know that. He is there
also does good field no hit work? At THIRD base

(39:13):
and i don't want to necessarily RE litigate things i
pounded into the ground. Two weeks ago but he's an
offensive deficiency at a position that you typically associate with
power or at. Least, some offense now of course. HE'S
awesome DEFENSIVELY i just I wonder if i wonder if
that has that much value given the position excuse me.

(39:37):
That he plays you can sign me Up For using
nathaniel LOWE as the dh and playing a uhaneus hora
as at third base And occasionally giving nathaniel low at
bats while playing first Base And moving south stewart. Over

(39:57):
To Third like nathaniel lowe is a nice pick up
and is he as good as he has? BEEN here
recently i don't think the, Answer is yes but he's
been a. Nice pick up he gives him some Offense
And kee brian hayes is a vastly superior third baseman
than anybody else still. Put out There but when, geno

(40:18):
comes back they're they're not going to put him. On
The bench when, GENO comes back i would not BE
opposed and i don't know that most would be opposed
To Playing key brian hayes a little bit less Frequently
To get nathaniel lowe's beat into the lineup and doing

(40:38):
then what you have to do in order to make
that happen makes, sense for me Whether it's dhing Lowe
and playing, gino at third whether it's playing low at
first and moving south, a third occasionally which you know
he's put in so much work at first base that
that's that's not something that you say. You're DOING lightly but,
i Don't, know man like for all that this team

(41:01):
is accomplished through, thirty one games you should always be
looking for ways to. Be BETTER everywhere AND i just
i have a it's, not A fear but i get
the sense that there's gonna be a stretch and maybe
by the time they go, through this stretch they're comfortably
Ahead Of The, national league central or maybe they're way

(41:21):
Behind In The. National LEAGUE central but i just can't
help but believe there's gonna be a stretch where offensively
the hitters are gonna have to carry the team. For
a while and maybe that's a reflection of another starting
pitcher dealing. With an, Injury and yeah nicolodolo is probably
gonna make two more rehab starts, and come back. And
that's good, and you Know Then maybe branda williamson would

(41:42):
have been the odd. Man out, anyway but like there's
there's the whole like they're gonna have a top. Five
starting rotation thing hasn't yet panned out for a, variety
of reasons and maybe. It still will and there's still
a lot to like with. Their Starting pitchers chase burns
start the other night was awesome because. It wasn't awesome
he didn't have, his best stuff still help. The TEAM

(42:03):
win But i just i'm looking for a little. BIT
more offense i, Got A guy NATHANIEL low that i
think can give. It to him he's swinging, a good
bat he's. Good at, BATS you know i can. HIT
for power i want him. In the lineup and this
is a little bit of an overreaction to the to

(42:23):
the chances he's gotten here in the early portion. Of
THE season but i know They're Paying key brian hayes
a decent, amount of money and then there's something to
be said about maximizing what you can be defensively. At
every position it's also a long history of teams that
have used defensive replacements all, over THE place, and i

(42:45):
think on a, well constructed team throw away the salary. For,
A Second hey brian hayes fits the profile more of
late inning defensive replacement than every day. Starting third baseman
and if, you don't agree look. At the, numbers like
again we've talked about this, dude, So MUCH genuinely like

(43:08):
i had a very good friend of mine who's in
the content creation, GAME who's like, I, don't know mo
you've Got To keep brian. Hayes MARKET cornered And I
keep Brian hayes like i've been told that like the
nicest human being of all time and man. With the glove.
He IS terrific and i actually root for him more

(43:28):
at the play than a lot of the Other guys
because i'd be cool if he. SHUT critics up i
may'd be cool if he changed topics like this when there. Are, other,
options offensively though, you can't, help but look you start.
From The Bottom key brian hayes is literally at the
Bottom of the reds batting water, when he plays. So

(43:49):
we'll see and right now it's a little bit of
a Non issue because. Gino isn't Healthy but, WHEN Gino's
healthy I i'm gonna i'm gonna not gonna gets as
good a play as we're getting at Third Base From.
Key BRIAN hayes but i think the uptick and what
they would get offensively would be would. Be worth it

(44:12):
eleven minutes, after four o'clock we are breaking early This
Segment because Trisha WHITAKER from apple tv is scheduled to call.
It four fifteen and not, that anybody cares, but we,

Speaker 3 (46:53):

Speaker 10 (47:01):
Gonna, Be fun too. GOD i'm so envious i miss.
LITTLE having. LITTLE kids i. DO i miss it i miss.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
BEING nine years old i do anything to be. Nine,
years old again yes in.

Speaker 10 (47:12):
This, day, And, age yes yes okay well You're talking
about The Reds. With the, KEITH bryant you know i think,
about third basemen historically and, they're Generally power hitters. If
i'm not mistaken we can Start With, Guys Like eddie
Matthews Cleef boy Or Ken, Boy Or. Brooks robinson mike

(47:33):
schmidt we can go on, and on and uh they were.
All good power hitters plus. The gloves were unbelievable so
we don't seem to be pursuing. Anybody, TO do that.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
No, i mean to, me it's, it's yes you're right
it's it's a position that, you associate with offense and
you you, just you, just Mentioned you Know a hall.
Of fame caliber players i'm not looking for That necessarily from.
The red's, third, basement for me though it, comes down
to this like there's a long history in this sport
of players who are great with the glove and contribute,

(48:08):
a ton on defense but. Don't hit a bunch they
just typically. Don't play third base and that's as much
of a statement about how relatively uninvolved third base is. Compared,
to other positions now, don't get me wrong obviously you
want a guy at third base who. Makes all the
plays you want a guy at third base who. Has

(48:28):
a great arm you want a guy at third base
who can charge balls hit, in front of him a
field buns for teams that are. Stupid enough to bun
you want a third baseman who you know can get
the ball to first base when he's got the farthest,
throw in the infield balls are a hit. To THE
third baseman, but i, think historically you know when you,
think of, good field no hit. You think of shortstop

(48:51):
because the value of, a shortstop who's involved he's just.
Involved in more plays you're a little bit, More, willing
to go okay we're getting elite d, defense at this
position so we'll put up with. The lack of offense
you're a little bit more willing to do that at
a position that's a more. Premium position on defense but
when you add to, it for This Team specifically, the

(49:12):
nathaniel low factor where he looks like a guy deserving.
Of more playing time he, Doesn't play third base so
do you D him and? Use geno at Third do
you play salid third as he did Today occasionally and?
Let low PLAY first like there's i think there's fair conversations,
to HAVE about that but i think they begin with
As Marvelous as key brian hayes is defensively and. He

(49:35):
is truly awesome do his defensive contributions really justify having
a guy who offensively despite the fact that he has
swung the, Bat pretty well recently do his defensive contributions
do enough to justify his inclusion the inclusion of his?
Bet IN the Lineup and i just i'm not convinced.
The answer is yes i'm.

Speaker 8 (49:57):
Not either.

Speaker 10 (50:00):
With, baseball FOR a second and i hate To. Talk
about the dodger I'm Talking About show hey joe hey
zero point three eight one armed. Run and six starts
he is obsessed With getting the. Cy. Young this year
obsessed i've heard. Many.

Speaker 8 (50:17):
INTERVIEWS with him.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Yeah i tried to find the odds of Him winning
the CY, young AND the mvp and. I can't find
it you could buy you can get odds On. Him
winning cy young you can get ODDS. On, him winning
mvp UH no book, that I have Seen, and i
use FanDuel BUT no book that i have seen has a.
Combination OF the two because i think. He's, Gonna win it.

Speaker 10 (50:43):
Well. He's hitting two eights.

Speaker 8 (50:44):
You, don't have six.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
Offensively, his numbers are Good They're not. SHOW heyo tani
good I assume that shoe heyotani offensively is is going
to hit at the level that we. Have come to
expect but what he has done is a pitcher and
two of his starts now they have not. Used, Him
at all offensively he's got an era of what. Eighty
point eight zero. He doesn't walk people he's unbelieve he's

(51:10):
the greatest show and base he might be the greatest show, In,
SPORTS right, now.

Speaker 10 (51:14):
Mike i KNOW but every time i bring it Up,
people back in cincinnati. People, get pissed off oh You're. Talking,
About the dodgers well.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
I'm trying not to BUT there's, well, but i mean
like if let's say, my favorite Radio show Which is
Petros and money in la if somebody called those guys To,
talk about the reds what do you think the reaction of? Their,
AUDIENCE would, BE.

Speaker 10 (51:35):
Well, i understand i. Understand but that's why, and By
the way.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Maybe i'll Try that Maybe Maybe I'll call Matt Muney.
Smith And petro's papadekas maybe i'll try to call and
see if they'll let Me. Talk about the reds.

Speaker 8 (51:49):
You raid your point.

Speaker 10 (51:50):
Big, time, as usual okay basketball real quick as. You
Got the Time the university of kentucky has twenty NINE
players in. The nba right now.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (52:00):
Huh nine MO yeah every, time i, turn, Around they're
saying oh fox or this one or that, one or
you know we're. THE leading, scoring Again i mean cala
pari puts so MANY. Greats in, the nba it's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
Which is why It's so frustrating that kentucky hasn't been
to a final.

Speaker 10 (52:17):
Four.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
And, ELEVEN years yeah well i don't know.

Speaker 10 (52:20):
If, they even cared. Well he did, Care, WE. Know
that okay nba orlando. Is OBVIOUSLY he's surprised and i
would not be surprised That they, knocked the. Pistons?

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Out, Would YOU no no and I don't know that
i would have even begun to imagine that.

Speaker 11 (52:38):
We.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Would Say that now kay cunningham. WAS awesome last night
i don't know that they have a secondary score enough to.
Win Two more games kay cunningham was was, was remarkable
last night but the lack of a second option has
caught up to. Him IN the Series and. I thought
orlando's effort as Much As their coach jamal moseley talked

(53:00):
about Going for, the killing game five it didn't seem
in the first quarter like. They were that interested they
made it a little bit more competitive late and in
the in the second, in the second quarter but it
sort of felt to me like they Were content to
let cade go off and didn't try. To Win the
game win. Game Six at home. I'm i'm with. YOU i'm.
WITH you i don't i don't know that there is

(53:21):
a secondary option That's reliable enough for detroit to believe
that they're gonna win. THESE next two. Games, i don't.

Speaker 10 (53:28):
Either now When, it comes to denver who has the BEST,
PLAYER in the nba i don't, care What anybody says
the jokers the best. Player in the League he's right
behind magic now with twenty nine triple, Doubles in the.
Playoffs magic had, thirty that's steaks volumes and we got
to They Have a healthy jamal murray for a change,

(53:49):
going into the playoffs which has not been the case
many times if. They, even had him so how do
you Think and of, course antonan being out what do
you think is gonna want to go?

Speaker 3 (54:00):
DOWN in This one i think denver's going to. Win the,
NEXT two Yep too i think denver's gonna. Win the,
next game there there we're not, saying a different story
but he's not.

Speaker 8 (54:10):
Going.

Speaker 10 (54:11):
To be yeah yeah and, that One last question this
Edgecomb kid.

Speaker 8 (54:17):
For for philly? Awesome did he play Did?

Speaker 10 (54:20):
He play at Baylor?

Speaker 3 (54:21):
He, played at baylor yeah so you.

Speaker 11 (54:23):
SAW play a LOT.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
I wouldn't say i, saw him, A lot. But, yeah
i'm play Yeah. So him play baylor was he?

Speaker 10 (54:30):
That good at, college it was.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Good he was good he was he was a One.
And done, at baylor but yeah he average fourteen. To, fifteen,
a game, yeah yeah. Really good GOOD player now as
I can't say that i saw him being my favorite,
rookie his rookie season. Which he, has been but yeah
uh he scored he WHEN THEY played at uc i
think he, might have had sixteen eighteen. Points something like

(54:53):
that but he has been marvelous. AS as a rookie
i think that comes down To though tonight and Bid carried,
him in game five it is for. Him a quick
turnaround they're gonna need, a GAME like that and i
Just don't know that. Philly Can count on And i'm

Murphy there you. Go let's Do this brendivan and jones
on baseball is coming up. In about twenty minutes let's
chat with one Of The Experts from Orthos Sincy. Orthopedics
and sports medicine you Know Awesome thing about orthos cincy
is they have specialists and locations and services All over
the tri state including walk in orthopedic urgent care at

(58:04):
five locations with extended evening And weekend Hours. In edgewood
and anderson learn more. At Orthosinc dot Com that's ortho.
Ci Ncy Dot com Doctor Matt grunckemeier from orthos. SINCI
is with us i want to start By, Asking about
auchanio soarez so he's on the shelf. With an oblique
strain can you explain the oblique strain? Scale? AND recovery, timeline.

Speaker 8 (58:29):
Sure, i mean you know there's a lot of torque
that these guys are applying when they're swinging a bat
at that speed, with that much power so they. Can
take a while the oblique muscles are there's, a lot
of them and, it could. Be extensive just depends.

Speaker 3 (58:43):
Can you explain the oblique injury scale and the recovery
timeline that might BE Expected, FOR a uhaneo.

Speaker 8 (58:50):
Yeah i, would imagine you know by a couple of weeks,
they'll be mostly, recovered but those injuries like, as you
hinted at can kind of linger. And get easily reaggravated
are there.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Risks and dangers involved? With returning too soon and if,
the answer is yes could?

Speaker 11 (59:07):
Other?

Speaker 3 (59:08):
Areas, BE compromised.

Speaker 8 (59:11):
Yeah sure i mean you just want to make sure
he's can take a pain free swing and be able
to obviously field and run and do all the things
that's going to be necessary, for return to play and
you know the trainers are.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
PRETTY intune to, that i would say how can how can?
Just every day, Folks but certainly athletes how can they prevent,
these types of injuries especially when you're doing something as
relatively benign. As, Taking batting practice.

Speaker 8 (59:37):
Well i'll take.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
A tissue with that i.

Speaker 8 (59:39):
Don't think it's benign these guys are practicing and usually as,
hard AS they play and i think it's easy, when
you're you know chopping wood or chopping a baseball like
these guys are to sprain and oblique, and so you
know as long as you stick, to just regular activities
you're probably not going to have. That type of injury but.
Golfers can, get this, you KNOW people that like i

(01:00:00):
said that are manual laborers that are swinging a sledgehammer
or swinging an.

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
Axe can get it, AND.

Speaker 8 (01:00:06):
So you know i think most of us in our
nine to five office. Jobs aren't at, risk but you
know if, you're a, weekend warrior you know, on the.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Softball. Field be, careful yeah most definitely me sitting in,
Front of a microphone i'm not at high risk. FOR
an oblique injury i want To Ask, you about brandon Williamson,
pitcher for the reds came out of LAST night start
and i think it was immediately immediately obvious. That something
was wrong they've put him on the injured list with
what they're just simply. Calling left shoulder fatigue he is,

(01:00:34):
a left handed pitcher, so left shoulder fatigue? What might that? Suggest,
the problem, is.

Speaker 11 (01:00:40):
Yeah you know.

Speaker 8 (01:00:41):
IT'S hard, to say i mean he could have, strained,
a rotator cuff attendon he. Could have some presidis there's
a lot of different things it could. Be at play
there it may, just be you know pitch counts got
a little high and, his shoulder feels, sore and you,
know without examining him. It's HARD to know but i
think that's just kind. Of, a generic guy No, it's
just for hey we need to give this guy some

(01:01:02):
a few days off and give him some rest and
get him in with the trainers, and see some, kids
some treatments going and. SEE how he does i.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
Want to ask you About a player the, Bengals drafted
last weekend connor, lou an offensive Lineman the, center from
auburn who according to a lot of folks, who followed
the draft his draft stock fell to a degree Because
towards acl last october ended his. Season, after seven games
now he says the recovery the timeline is tracking well

(01:01:28):
for him to be on the. Field during training camp,
CAN you walk through i guess over the last six
months what his rehabit recovery, Timeline, has been like.

Speaker 8 (01:01:38):
Yeah it sounds like he's had a standard, recovery and
you KNOW with a successful acl, reconstruction at six months
most guys can get back to Full sports activity and
i'm sure he's at the best of. The, rehab and
trainers no.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
It could be A steal, FOR the, bengals really, i mean.

Speaker 8 (01:01:56):
You know because his stock was really really high, and
then you, know with that injury with, the unknown, FACTOR
there you know i think that's. What why it, dropped
so you know hopefully a full recovery and he'll be
on the, field and You know helping the bengals have a.
Better season next year.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
That would be awesome. So this Makes, sense injury in
october but he would still be good to go by the,
time training camp Begins. Which, is, late july.

Speaker 8 (01:02:22):
Yeah yeah that's. A, good time frame yeah, it's about
nine months so he should.

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
Be good to go one player who was Often connected
to the bengals in the run up to the draft
as a kid By the name of jermond McCoy a
cornerback who a lot of folks thought may go. In
the top ten he actually wasn't taken until the beginning. Of,
the fourth round NOW he suffered an acl tear, prior
to last season did. Not play at all there are

(01:02:45):
reports that teams fear he could be. Headed for ANOTHER
surgery now the acl is, reportedly IN good shape but
i guess there's concerns about what they're calling a bone
plug used to repair cartilage. DEFECT in his knee i
have no. Idea what that means can you? MAKE that
make sense.

Speaker 8 (01:03:03):
I can try so cartilage. Injuries, are really Tough Okay
that's the. Holy girl. Of orthopedics you know we've, tried
everything from microfractures to, scraping out the cartilage to replacing
it with cartilage from other, spots of the knee from
taking canavers to, As you can tell i'm listing like
a laundry. List of options Here So that's the.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Holy girl.

Speaker 8 (01:03:24):
Of orthopedics quite difficult without knowing the exact specifics of,
what his injury is, how extensive IT is what, THE
mri looks like i can't really comment, on his particular
case but, as you can tell, cartilage injuries, are tough
and boy if we could ever come up with a
reliable and, consistent solution to that you'd see the careers of.

(01:03:45):
Athletes be extended dramatically but that's what gets you typically
as an athlete is the, cartilage starts to wear, and
as you know before long you're looking. At going on
bone you're getting crunching and CRACKING and grinding and i
don't know if, you've Experienced it yet. But i'm starting,
to and it's painful and there's not great solutions outside
of big, ones like joint replacement and OBVIOUSLY you can't

(01:04:07):
play nfl football with a.

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
Replaced hip or nie see you. Made that MAKE sense
that's what. I was looking for, awesome, INSIDE as always allagam, i,
appreciate the time. Man thanks, so much all right take.
Care you Got it Talk about grounckemeyer from orthos since we,
said every single. Week because it's true The awesome thing
about orthos since he is they've got specialists on locations All,
over the tri State including walk in orthopedic urgent care

(01:04:31):
weekdays nine am to Nine pm and on saturdays nine
am to One pm At both edgewood and anderson it's
easy because you, don't need an appointment and it's definitely
cheaper than going to an er whenever you have. An
Urgent orthopedic injury. Good orthossinc dot Com that's ortho. Ci

Seventeenth from a, On the calendar standpoint may is just a.

Speaker 11 (01:06:06):
Little bit MORE.

Speaker 13 (01:06:08):
Ideal, from an lpga standpoint we're kind of backs back
FROM a state side lpga Tournament and then in september

Lpga, tour.

Speaker 13 (01:07:27):
Absolutely so yeah fifth year of The. Event here in
cincinnati obviously have gone, through A couple changes but i
think one thing remains the same is that you're going

other thing just being, a family friendly atmosphere from juniors
getting in free all week to the Variety of ACTIVATIONS
that kurger and pg bring to life. In our fan,

(01:07:49):
zone things have changed but the basis of the.

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
Tournament remains the, same going into me you have folks
listening to this who have never been so describe the
fan experience and starting two weeks from today and even. A, few, days.

Speaker 13 (01:08:03):
Before yeah absolutely so, FROM an accessibility standpoint i think
that's one of my FAVORITE Things.

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
About the lpga tour whether you are a.

Speaker 13 (01:08:13):
Kiddo trying to get An autograph in, the tampac's autograph

hair Standpoint and let's see carger does their freshest put,
in the fan zone so opportunity to win.

outside of, the, game of golf.

Speaker 8 (01:08:47):
Honestly but also some.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Great, golf to watch yeah it helps if, you're a
hardcore golfer and certainly it's, It's ideal for you but

png let's see nine. Away from Five o'clock breneman and.
Jones on baseball time we'll. Hear, from them, Next hey.
That's right red's one, thank You very much tarn reds
won the game today and it was a win is
a win six. Four the final Score Good start for
andrew abbott hit, The Long ball today low freed got

(01:10:49):
good bullpen work from The Guys. Not named ameliop god.
It's a Series. Win off to, pittsburgh no paulse, Games
by the Way. Cardinals beat the pirate Today's Very. Sleep
for saint louis. Pittsburgh's Lost five straight paul. Skeens IS
obviously awesome and i had this in Front of ME

(01:11:10):
on twitter, and i lost it but there's a market
Difference In how good paul skins is against everybody else versus,
how much he struggles Relatively Speaking Against, The saint Louis
cardinals Reds. And pirates tomorrow cincinnati the most Important Development
today was andrew abbot had a good start, and as

(01:11:32):
we say danced out of trouble in the fifth inning
and punctuated the inning by getting a strikeout after loading
the bases and loading the bases through a bunt head
and infield hit like not giving up a bunch. Of
like frozen ropes and it's two one ball. Game At
that point the Reds are down after andrew gave up
two runs in the first and, then he was. Terrific

(01:11:52):
but he it you cling to the idea that the
fifth inning today could mark a turning Point Of sorts,
in andrew abbod's season, because let's face, it to this
point he hasn't. Pitched all that well today he. Was
much much better so we've been spending today talking about
that on Top of. The Big, bengals News miles murphy

(01:12:13):
the bengals are not picking up the fifth, year OPTION
for him and, i CAN understand why and i think
if you, look AT this reasonably and. I believe most do,
you sort, of understand like. Financially Where they are duke
tobin this week said this was going to, be a
financial decision and that would be a fourteen and a,

(01:12:36):
half million dollar Commitment Guaranteed. COMMITMENT to miles murphy i
think when you look at the combination of the financial
commitments they already have on the books, for twenty twenty
seven the players who play The Same position as Miles murphy,
that the bengals have it would make sense why they
wouldn't want to guarantee fourteen and a half million dollars

(01:12:58):
to a. Player who is ascending nobody would deny. That
he is ascending but it's also taken a WHILE and
they've been i think. Pretty clear about this they'd love to, have,
him long term right you'd love to, have him long
term but you'd love to have him long term at
financial terms that are a little bit More, team friendly

(01:13:19):
than hey here's this one year guarantee for fourteen. And
a half mil when we have a lot of other
players that are on the. Books for hefty salaries oh,
and by the way like we got a lot of
other dudes, Who play your position and we obviously and
Understandably believe from The Bengals perspective that miles murphy is due,
for a big season but you'd kind of. LIKE to

(01:13:40):
see it i, think the Question Is, if you're miles
murphy are you going to sign a? Contract extension? This
offseason all right no, fifth year team option you go.
Into your walk year are you going to sign a?
Long term contract extension or are you going to bet
on yourself and GO you know what i came, of
age last. Year improvement will, Continue by the way i'm

(01:14:02):
probably going to be a part of a. Better defense
this year i'm gonna put up big numbers and then
see what the open market has for me or see
if the team. Will franchise tag me and, if that's the,
case you know what that dollar figure for twenty twenty
seven would be dramatically exceeds the fourteen and a half
he would be. On The hook for the bengals would
be on the hook for, for twenty twenty seven. So

(01:14:23):
we will see you obviously run the risk of losing
the guy at the, end of this season but If You,
believe In shamar stewart the Bengals probably still do if
you believe In cash is how bengals believed enough in
to take with the. Forty first overall pick If You,
believe in boye mafe then you've at least accounted for

(01:14:44):
what life Might Be. Like without miles murphy he is
one of the most interesting. Players on this team year
four for a, former first round pick. And progress came
slow the first two. Years were a wash but in
the same and half of the. Season he's really, good
he's really good and it felt like the. Light bulb
came on so imagine that is sension continuing with the.

(01:15:09):
Impact of the players we have talked so much about
helping this team on the. Defensive line this season that's
that's really. Fun to think. About so we'll see we've
got a lot. Of Stuff this HOUR evan west And
MLS coverage ON Apple tv Has fc cincinnati. And chicago
this week he's going to join us. IN about ten
minutes i want to take a, phone call or too

(01:15:30):
because we. Have, Waiting very PATIENTLY ron you're. On, espn fifteen.
Thirty ron good? Afternoon how are you?

Speaker 14 (01:15:38):
Oh good mo mo First Quick Thing. ON key, brian hayes,
i mean you know the worst. Part of it is
we got three more years at eight million. Dollars, of,
no offense.

Speaker 3 (01:15:51):
Yeah yeah that's, that's, Part, of it, right like moving
forward you're going to have to build teams and lineups
around a guy who's just not going to give you,
all that much offensively and that's that's going to impact.
Roster construction moving forward, AND that's, you know i mean

(01:16:13):
they have as good as, they've been so far they've
they've got to get more. Production from the outfield that
would be mitigated by getting more, production from third base
and you have to account for that as you build
your roster. Beyond, twenty, twenty six.

Speaker 14 (01:16:27):
Yeah mo PEOPLE try, TO give i know i Don't
Know Credit, To Nick carl slash brad meter or whoever
these guys are, running the front, office but you know
they Gave, us the candy man and they gave us
a guy now that is scuffling, along THAT mind you
and i agree with you it's important. To HAVE good,
defense but i mean the guy you got to hit

(01:16:49):
at least, TWO sixty over, THERE i, Feel like i
mean i'm not expecting him to pop a, lot of
home runs but we've got to have.

Speaker 10 (01:16:56):
Some offense, From.

Speaker 3 (01:16:57):
Him SOMETHING yeah i'm and i don't know that he
has to hit two sixty in a day and age
where batting averages are. Are way way down i'm not.
LOOKING for two sixty i do have to get more
than close to, league worst offensive production which is what.
You know he's been he's Been giving both The reds
and the pirates now for. A couple of years he

(01:17:17):
doesn't hit for. A lot of power he's not a huge.
On base percentage, guy and quite frankly, and regardless of
position you sort of have to be, one, of the
other right like hit a bunch of home runs or
get On Base log he brian. Hayes, Unfortunately, Does either
yeah mo and the OTHER thing is, AND i don't
know i might have missed this with some.

Speaker 14 (01:17:37):
Of your football conversation i've seen a lot Of articles
saying the bengals are going to run a more. THREE
to four defense i don't understand that we don't have
two linebackers that were comfortable and where are we coming?

Speaker 8 (01:17:48):
Up, With two more.

Speaker 3 (01:17:53):
Yeah i've Seen That with with al golden doing some
experimental things, with THREE four, looks and i look THIS
is this is i guess the time of year, to
sort of experience experiment, with what you, have and You Know,
maybe boy a mafe they they drop him. A little
bit More, or cash is hell who showed those showed,
those tendencies in college maybe they do that. A little,

(01:18:14):
bit more but boy if you're if you're gonna have more,
linebackers on the field you would like for, them to,
actually have. You, know, Actual linebackers.

Speaker 14 (01:18:22):
Well RIGHT and that's.

Speaker 6 (01:18:24):
Why i.

Speaker 14 (01:18:24):
Was wondering, I'M wondering you Know i KNOW that hal
And I guess even shamar stewart aren't the hugest defensive
ends as. Far as you know it's not like they
weigh two sventy.

Speaker 10 (01:18:35):
Five or two, EIGHTY but.

Speaker 11 (01:18:38):
You know i was trying.

Speaker 10 (01:18:39):
To figure, it out I'm.

Speaker 14 (01:18:40):
Like, maybe may, Mo maye my man mo can help
me out and, Let, me know where like we're gonna
come up with two extra linebackers and we don't have,
Two to begin.

Speaker 3 (01:18:48):
WITH i'll take one i think any three four would
Likely include cash is hal in a little bit. Of
a Hybrid Role maybe boy a mafe morphs into. THAT a,
LITTLE BIT I mean i I i they're they're i
still hold out hope that they GO sign a linebacker
i would find it hard to believe that they're going
to go get two and experimenting with some three four

(01:19:10):
looks doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be exclusively a.
Three to four team but one Of the things about
cash is how that you could help a note when
you kind of looked at his college profile is he
had a. Lot of passes, defense and you know for
folks who have, crunched his tape extensively they've talked about
him running. Downfield with tight ends they've talked about him
running downfield with some running backs and DOING. It in

(01:19:31):
the sec, and so that is as the kids, say in.
His bag we'll see but regardless of whether you play,
a four to three a, three four five two, you
need more linebackers and it's still hard to believe. They
HAVEN'T got one ron, I gotta run. Man. THANKS so
much thanks i, appreciate the phone call fourteen after Five O'clock.

(01:19:51):
ON key BRIAN hayes i just i think you have
to play your, best nine every day and. Time Could
Change this a uhanio. Suarez could Change this but, when
gino comes back not that, they haven't tried this and
Not That, the key Brian Hayes Not that key brian
hayes plays Every single day Like ellie De La. Cruz

(01:20:13):
and sal stewart it just feels like they. Still NEED more,
offense and, i mean come on, for the time being
right field is going to be a revolving door of
dudes who. Don't have huge ceilings they're not getting great.
Production from center field friedel hit, A home run today
i would be one million percent On Board with giving.

(01:20:34):
Dane Meyers more opportunities nathaniel lowe exclusively comes off The
bench when. THE reds are whole i. Think that should
change and so where's what is that going to come
at the? Expense of be okay with it coming At
The Expense of kee Brian hayes's glove, once gino is
back and Then You could use sal stewart over There

(01:20:57):
occasionally and play nathaniel low at first big, it just
feels like and this this is a statement that is
Not Ignorant Of what key brian hayes. Does very VERY well,
and like i KNOW it sounds like i. Pick on.
The dude it's not he's he's offensively a weak. Link
on the team, and in, any sport any team you're

(01:21:21):
looking to address weaknesses. Offense for this, team at third,
base that's a weakness and it feels. Like there's a
solution it feels like there's a solution that would compromise them.
A little bit defensively i think you have to be.
WILLING To do that fc cincinnati feels. Like It's Trending

(01:21:42):
UPWARD evan Weston APPLE tv next.

Speaker 4 (01:21:47):
Cincinnati's. Espn fifteen THIRTY traffic this.

Speaker 5 (01:21:52):
Is.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
Espn, FIFTEEN Thirty moeggers so fc cincinnati, at home last
week with as, cliche as it sounds very much a
patchwork group on The Pitch Shut Out, red BULL new
york and i think IT'S fair to say i badly
Needed Three points. For pat noonan's team. They hit The
Road they're At soldier field on saturday For. A game

(01:22:14):
against chicago that game is going to. Start at eight
thirty you Can WATCH, it On Apple tv where evan
weston has the call and he is kind. ENOUGH to
join us i really, Didn't, think last week evan we
WOULD Be talking about fc cincinnati coming off. A three
point performance. But, here we are yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:22:31):
They're getting it on they look a little. BIT more
like themselves i think the biggest part of that is
just getting your. Star players Going Right the vander kevin danke.
Starting to gel, Together like last year deka gets. A
couple of goals you put enough guys that you, trust
on the field even if they're playing a little, bit
out of position and you.

Speaker 3 (01:22:48):
Get, The job done yeah and it has felt like
they've kind of been, in survival mode, here but you're
right getting their star players to play like star players.
Is a big deal give me he sort of an
assessment of how YOU feel LIKE and i obviously i
know you haven't seen every minute OF Every match that,
fc cincinnati has played but it. Is often felt underwhelming

(01:23:09):
it Is Often felt like pat noonan is doing some
of his best work just getting this. Team to salvage
points it has often felt like they have to go
get guys off the street to go give him any help. On,
the defensive end like give me sort of a blanket
assessment of how this season Is unfolded For. The, ORANGE
and blue.

Speaker 12 (01:23:25):
Yeah i think if you go back to that week
where they pick up the red card and They Get
crushed by new england and then they blow That massive
lead Against Tigris in the champions cup to get knocked,
out of a tournament Another knockout tournament where cincinnati.

Speaker 6 (01:23:40):
Didn't get as far as they. THOUGHT they, should, have
i Mean imagine imagine the bengals getting roughed up on
the weekend and then blowing at a twenty eight point
Halftime lead To The steelers. ON thursday, night football i
mean that's kind, of what this was and there's clearly
gonna be. A hangover from that i saw a, team that.
Lacked Confidence, lacked IDENTIC chris albright the gm spoke, to

(01:24:02):
the press yesterday said they still don't quite have that
identity sorted out just yet of what it MEANS To
be f c cincinnati. IN twenty twenty six i also
think we have to have a little perspective in that
this team was THE worst team in mls history for
its first three years and is now consistently. A top

(01:24:22):
top team the job that this brain trust. Has done
is remarkable there's never been a turnaround like that in the.

Speaker 10 (01:24:28):
History of the league there.

Speaker 6 (01:24:30):
Probably won't be again so these are, STILL the good,
Times i, would, say But Look Eventually, in major league
soccer it's not like other sports where you, get a,
you know in baseball you, get whatever you want or
in another sport where you get a salary cap and
you can dispense that. Money however you'd like you get
three shots as a designated player to spend as much.

(01:24:52):
Money as. You want that's it everybody else has capped at,
a very not minimal but a salary that is going
to be. Below the elite players so. You have three
CHANCES And, For, ef ci cincinnati evander the best, of
their three guys was not playing the. Way he was
playing his, body language wasn't, great he wasn't, defending he

(01:25:12):
wasn't scoring and as he starts to get, OUT of
this funk i think You're gonna, see as evander GOES So.
Goes ef cie cincinnati he looks a lot better the
last couple of weeks and as, he continues to. Improve
and he will he's too good. A player not to
i think the. Team will Get There that the eastern
conference is a lot, worse, than last year too which.
Is a good thing even though they've dropped, a lot

(01:25:34):
of points they haven't actually. Lost that much Ground this
game on saturday is a really good opportunity to gain
some ground on a team that's going to be near
the top of the conference at the, end of THE
year and ultimately i bet on the talent on THIS
roster more than i would on a.

Speaker 10 (01:25:49):
LOT of other.

Speaker 3 (01:25:49):
Teams I, would AGREE with dad and i think the
track record sort, of SPEAKS for Himself And i think chris.
Albrights does as well we saw the impact of in.
Season acquisite last year, late in the year he's talked
about the fact that he knows they. Need to make
improvements where do those improvements from outside. Need, to come
from yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:26:08):
The big glaring hole on this roster in the system
that they play, is the second forward the Position next
to den k In. Front of a vander they are
getting pretty decent performances from A young Player in kenji
and bomadem who's playing a little bit out over his
skis right now and doing a nice job, giving them
some energy combining A little bit getting evander a. Little

(01:26:29):
bit more involved but ultimately they're going to need an
injection of. Quality in that position we've seen the rumors.
About in a bar. I'M not an insider i have
no idea whether or. NOT they are true i simply
would love. To see it happen as someone who is
a neutral observer of the league and loves having those
Sorts Of characters. In major league soccer it would be

(01:26:52):
a wildly risky move. To bring him, in perhaps not
commercially it would be sort of, a slam dunk standpoint but,
from a soccer perspective it, would be a. Very very
risky move but it would be incredibly fun, to watch
play out whether it's that something that enormous or. SOMETHING
much more modest i think if you could Get a

(01:27:14):
player like, brenner Into That spot and chris albright implied
yesterday that they had plenty. Of flexibility to do so
that's the one where you really look, At, that and
say okay that's what could take them. To the, next
level because defensively even with their top, four center backs
out they were able to pitch a shut. Out THIS
past Weekend And i know pat nunon is not thrilled

(01:27:36):
with how, they've defended this year but you've got to
Think When you've Got Miles robinson, and matt neoska back
they've had kind of A Little, breakout from andre sherrilla
seventeen year old who's gotten an opportunity and done. Really
well with it they're gonna have enough back. THERE to
do well, i love their midfielders it's just that second
forward is one of the more OBVIOUS holes, on ANY

(01:27:57):
mls roster and i Would Imagine that.

Speaker 3 (01:28:00):
FOR chris albright focus i love the Fact that you
brought namar Up to me because i've had a lot
Of YOUR colleagues from apple tv on and, Some of
them like i'll bring it up and they'll stop me
in my tracks and. Go forget about it you're dreaming.
It's not gonna happen some will at least. Allow for
the possibility you've made me feel like this could be. Something,
That actually happens well.

Speaker 6 (01:28:19):
I'll Just Say this if, tom boger reports, Something. It
has legs okay he is. Not a transfer. Chancer he
has sources if, HE says they've talked i. Believe That
they've talked and cincinnati's ownership has spent in the very top.
ECHELON of the league i mean they have spent a
lot of money on players with, much less you know

(01:28:41):
robust track. Records than they are and he would Have
a comrade in evander who is a countryman and somebody
who looks up to him on.

Speaker 10 (01:28:50):
The ROSTER so.

Speaker 6 (01:28:52):
Listen do i think IT'S gonna happen if i?

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
Was?

Speaker 6 (01:28:54):
A betting man?

Speaker 8 (01:28:55):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:28:57):
IS it possible Absolutely i think since, SATIE has the
Ambition i don't think theymar isn't a point in his
career where if the money was right that he would.
Turn it down necessarily it's these are just very difficult.
Transfers to make happen there's so much involved beyond just
the soccer player, and the soccer contract and there's also
there would have to be at least Some roster maneuvering

(01:29:18):
from cincinnati because they DO have those three dp slots.
Filled AT the moment but i have to think, that if.
They're TALKING they're talking but i wouldn't get. TOO attached.
TO it i wouldn't i would look at it maybe
a Little bit Like The reds with, kyle schber, this
offseason where yeah they, talked and they, tried and, You,

(01:29:41):
know we'll see.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
Uh yeah they did talk. And they did try, we
can we, can we can discuss we can discuss. How
hard they tried.

Speaker 6 (01:29:48):
But it looked it, pretty good, so far.

Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
No, question no question evan have A Great, Call on saturday,
Man Thanks So MUCH Evan Weston, apple tv evan Weston

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
Right well you'll have to make the trip out and.
Check it out sometime what are The biggest storylines in louisville.
Heading into the.

Speaker 11 (01:32:22):
Weekend so there's about six horses that you can make a,
really good case for and they're all trained, by the
Heavyweight Trainers right Like Todd fletcher And Chad brown And Brad.
Cox and bill mott so that's probably the main story
that the best horses are trained by the guys you
would expect to. Have them this year but there's, Some
side stories Too Like you got stuart Elliot who Won

(01:32:44):
The derby on smarty, jones at Oh, four his son
chris who wasn't even born then As a Mountain At
derby For. Kennick peekle on saturday that's kind.

Speaker 8 (01:32:54):
Of.

Speaker 11 (01:32:54):
A cool Story Again you get bill mott who's trying
to win it two years in a row Last year
obviously with Sovereignty This. Year with chief Wallaby and You,
got bill's son riley who has two horses in the.
Race as a trainer so those are some of the
side stories that people have been covering all Weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:33:10):
At that, at LOUISVIO all right when i walk To,
the window tomorrow dick which direction are you? GOING to
steer me.

Speaker 11 (01:33:18):
I am going to steer you To. The country of
japan they have been knocking on the door. Two years
ago forever young well'st by, a couple of noses and if,
you watch the race he was the best. Horse in
the race whatever could go. Wrong did go wrong this year,
they bring a horse maybe without the same international, credentials
AT this point but i am a huge fan of

(01:33:40):
the non bourbon the seven Horse.

Speaker 3 (01:33:43):
Three starts in japan when, you watch them.

Speaker 11 (01:33:46):
Visually it's like when you see a great athlete and
they're in against athletes are. Not nearly as good you.
Can tell the difference THAT'S kind of WHAT i see when.
I watch them run, and THAT'S one thing and i
just wanted some data points that confirm.

Speaker 8 (01:33:59):
What my opinion was.

Speaker 11 (01:34:00):
The times he was running on the days he was
running them were much faster than other horses were.

Speaker 8 (01:34:05):
Doing at those distances.

Speaker 11 (01:34:07):
And he's about Fourteen to one at, churchill at the
moment he's thirteen to one at Bet ONLINE dot, ag
and i think give me amount of money that's, already
in the pulls that's probably about the price we're Going.

Speaker 8 (01:34:19):
To get, On saturday all.

Speaker 3 (01:34:21):
Right so, there's good value there but we're not exactly talking.
About A long shot if i want to go with
a long shot, where, he's.

Speaker 11 (01:34:27):
Dearing me Yeah Probably. Potente for bob baffert and the
main Reason is. Because it's bob Effort he's won. THE
derby six times i thought his last race was better
than it looks if he finished second is so Happy And.
The s antonita derby but it's, kind of you know
when horses ended up having the wrong running, style in
the race they just they're not going to. Perform to

(01:34:48):
their top he, was on the lead. Kind of under
pressure that's not at All. How he'll run saturday so
and he's. VERY very lightly raced i just suspect him
to run. A. Much better race now whether that's, GOOD
enough to. Win i don't know but if you're looking
for a, twenty to one shot that would be the.

Speaker 8 (01:35:02):
One that'd be where I'd. Steer you to potentie do
you like?

Speaker 3 (01:35:04):
ANY of the props.

Speaker 11 (01:35:07):
I like. A bunch of them i especially Like Some of.
The derby oaks props it's the first time bet online
has put them up where you, can Get for Instance Prom.
Queen and Chief wallaby if prom queen Wins Tomorrow And
the chief wality saturday.

Speaker 8 (01:35:20):
GET fifty to.

Speaker 11 (01:35:21):
One i love some of the just. Yes Or No
Props Will willing brad cox horset win the race now
that was listed at. Nine to five mo that's Probably
gone Off obviously beau full. Effort That won that jeff
ruby is, not going to run so that perce is
going to. Go up, even higher but yeah we have
more props that bet online this year. THAN any other

(01:35:42):
year i don't know if the track is going to
stay as fast as it was, early in the week,
but if it does we can go under the time
of two two point five because the track Was like Super.
Fast saturday and sunday.

Speaker 10 (01:35:55):
Obviously that it can Be.

Speaker 11 (01:35:56):
Changed BY this saturday but i, WOULD at the moment,
i would go under but you might want To, wait
for like saturday when the early races are run before.
You bet, that prop but yeah there's no shortage of
great props all Up And down at. Better online dot
ag and the fun about. Them is they're easy they're
easy for people we used. To super row props it's
not as complicated as talking.

Speaker 8 (01:36:17):
About, the, super FACTOR.

Speaker 3 (01:36:18):
Well yeah that's i think that's that's. The most attractive part,
You mentioned prom queen so is that the direction we're
going to Go. IN for the oaks i think.

Speaker 11 (01:36:26):
She's definitely A contender at. MY i'm between two i
thought An Explorer. FOR for, bob effort i thought it's
just been as solid as solid can be in. Every
race she runs she's never. Run A bad, one and
i thought counting stars the four ran An. Unbelievable race
at oakland if she can come back to that race

(01:36:47):
and she's looked, AT eight to one i think you,
GOT for value wise i. Think she may be she
may be one of the. Best picks in there so
there's a PROBABLY the three. That i would, mention by
the way one of the props is you can pick
a worse to, finish the last online and so speed
is probably it's. Just like, His name he's fast he's going.
To be in front the question is what happens if

(01:37:08):
he gets under. Pressure the whole way generally you like speed.
Horses to run last you don't like closers right because they'll,
pass three or four so You, can better, like commander
for instance forty five to. ONE to FINISH last i
mean i think he's going to be. In the top
four that's why that's a. Great pressure bet online but
so speed is fifteen to four.

Speaker 8 (01:37:28):
To, face the last wow.

Speaker 11 (01:37:29):
Which is a little over right around for a little.
Over four, To one all.

Speaker 3 (01:37:34):
Right i've never been on a, horse To finish last
and i'm trying to figure out what that's going To
sound like when i'm rooting for the horse THAT a
horse that i have bet on to finish last home and.
TO cheer him On i guess that's i'll have. To
figure that Out The legendary ju diic girardi is with
us thanks. To a bet online going to bet online
for the most up to date odds and props on
the one hundred and Fifty Second Running. Of saturday's kentucky
