Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Here we go Monday afternoon in the Queens City the
Mullagar Radio program. I am not Malegar Chad Brendle bearcut
journal dot Com. Thank you for choosing me, Taram. We're

(00:40):
going no guests today, me, you and meet you and
the phones. I figure, look, I gotta fill up this
whole week. If I can't do a Monday show with
like a whole weekend of stuff and save the guests

(01:01):
for later in the week, I'm probably gonna be in
trouble by the time we get to about Wednesday, about
four thirty five o'clock. So, yeah, just you and me
today and the callers phone lines will be open all day.
And well we'll do Brennaman and Jones on baseball. We'll
still do them. We'll still have that get you a

(01:24):
little bit of a break from me. But big weekend
in the sports world, and I figured we'll just take
all three hours and uh, we'll discuss Reds series win
over the Yankees with a big time performance from Chase

(01:47):
Burns only goes five innings, but he battled and he
held that Yankee lineup in check. Obviously, some injuries. It's
not the Yankees at full strength, but that's okay. I
was a little disappointed Garrett Cole got moved back a
day has started, moved back to day.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I thought we were gonna get Burns v. Coal. That
did not happen. But that's okay.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
If you're a Reds fan, you'll gladly take an alternative
and give yourself a little bit of a a little
smoother sailing into the series victory. That brings us to
today as the Reds take on the Milwaukee Brewers and

(02:44):
an important ten day stretch and really everything from now
to the All Star Break is big for this team.
They have got, you know, they have got to avoid
because this is a tough stretch, and it is a
stretch against a bunch of INL Central teams. Threads are

(03:05):
two and thirteen against the Division, three against the Brewers,
three against the Pirates, four against the Brewers, and then
you go into the All Star Break with three more
against the Cubs. You've got the Orioles and the Phillies
in between that four game Brewers set and the Cubs.

(03:25):
To go into the All Star Break, Threads are two
and thirteen against the NL Central, two and thirteen against
the NL Central. If that continues, they will be sunk
by the time we hit the All Star break in

(03:46):
a couple of weeks. We knew going into this that
this stretch was kind of going to be season defining.
It was gonna set the tone for where this franchise
is going into not only the All Star Break, but
then the trade deadline and then into an off season

(04:07):
where you're gonna have to start answering some questions. Some
guys are gonna be up for arbitration. The outlook right
now on this particular window for the Cincinnati Reds doesn't
look great in terms of is this group gonna turn

(04:31):
into you know, Joey Vado and Jay Bruce and that group,
or you know, much lesser, to a much lesser extent,
the Castro and Winker and you know, the group that
came after that rebuild. Right now, it looks like this

(04:53):
is the bottom end of the three. And that's really
frustrating because you've got Elie day Light Cruz, You've got
Hunter Green, neither of them available right now, but you
have two guys with the potential to be right there
with the best of anybody in baseball at their positions,

(05:14):
and it's looking like three years in this thing is
definitely not trending on an arrow pointed in an upward direction.
But do you play strong over this three plus week stretch,
Maybe you can start to change that narrative as you
get into the second half of the season. How do

(05:36):
they do it well? First, they got their butts kicked
on Friday. Cam Schlittler was exactly what we said, Tarren,
We said, I didn't know. I said, I didn't know
what the over under is on strikeouts on Friday, But
whatever it was, take the over.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
That would have been a successful bet.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Bringing back locks of the weekend.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
That one was you could see that one coming from
a mile away. Thirteen strikeouts career high thirteen strikeouts for
Schlitler over six innings. The Red struck out seventeen times.
They had thirty three batters in the game, seventeen of
them seventeen of the twenty seven outs by strikeout.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Ouch.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
But Sal Stewart pops off on Saturday six RBI game
and powers the Reds to attend to victory, and then
yesterday Chase Burns five innings, only one run allowed, The

(06:45):
bullpen does its job and the Reds get a series
win in New York. Can they come home for three
against the Brewers and continue the momentum.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
That is.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
The million dollar question, And I mean, if we're being honest,
the problem is when does it feel like the last
time they were consistently good against the NL Central, especially
against the Brewers been a while, been a long while.

(07:30):
So they've got to figure out a way to turn
this around.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Now.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
The good news is they missed the Brewers ace and
you're kind of getting the bottom of their rotation in
this series. So you've got a chance if the offense
shows up and if the bullpen can stay ahead above water.

(08:00):
It does feel like you're starting to see uh, a
little bit more familiarity, a little bit more like uh
settling into their roles, everybody figuring out what they're supposed
to do when they're you know, what inning they're going
to be coming in, what what role they're going to

(08:20):
be used in. You know, when when you lose pegan
like they did, it throws things up in the air,
makes things a little a little more you know, unknown,
and they went through a heck of a dip. We'll
find out over the next especially over this week and

(08:42):
into next week with the four game series with the Brewers,
We're going to have a much better idea of this
Red's team's staying power if they if they go you know,
over just the next six Let's not even talk about
the four in Milwaukee. After that, you go one and five,
you're you're pretty much dead in the water. Like there's

(09:06):
there's not a lot of hope of this team climbing
out of that hole. If you can get three and three,
Dare I say four and two? Am I optimistic about that?

Speaker 4 (09:18):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
But if you can start to pick up some momentum
in the division, then you look at you know, Hunter
Green has been pitching simulated games in Arizona. Ellie de
la Cruz played this weekend, played nine innings yesterday, getting
a day off today. Ellie is expected expected back in

(09:45):
the lineup tomorrow. So things are trending in a positive direction.
As long as you can get where you need to
be when those guys return and you the bottom has
him fallen out, It's going to be a lot easier

(10:07):
if Chase Burns and south Stewart continue to be able
to carry some of the heavy lifting win necessary. One
other thing I wanted to get to on the Reds
as we go through the day, today, Terran, you're not
how many home runs Kyle Schwarber has right now June
twenty second. Eight Kyle Schwarber, You think he has eight

(10:29):
home runs through June twenty second.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, I haven't watched the Fizziam all year, so I'm
guessing eight.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Twenty nine, yep, twenty nine.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Maybe Sworez probably has eight, right.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, it's probably about about there. And that's the difference.
That's the difference between a team that is genuinely all
in to win and compete for championships and put a
true team on the field that could could try to

(11:07):
make it to a World Series, could try to, you know,
have the type of success that this fan base so
desperately craves. Instead, you get a hano Osuarez, who It's
not that I dislike au Haniosarez, but I do have
the ability to call a spade a spade. Au Hanio

(11:29):
Suarez has been okay, seven doubles, seven home runs, twenty
five RBIs. Kyles Schwerber has more home runs and au
hani O Suarez has RBIs. That's why people get frustrated

(11:49):
with his organization. Maybe the Suarez thing, or maybe the
Schwarber thing doesn't even become a big story. But the
Reds pushed a lot of the national people the Reds
are really in this thing. And then as it comes out,
they're five million dollars a year short. So over a
five year contract, you're twenty five. You're a full year

(12:13):
short of what the Phillies gave him. That means you're
not serious. You weren't trying to go get Kyle Schwarber.
You just wanted to say you were in the mix.
And if you want people to stop questioning, why isn't
this team really really trying to win? You find a

(12:34):
way to go get Schwarber and you put sixty home
runs in the middle of that lineup. You tell me
that doesn't make a difference for this Red seam. Come on,
Dusty May, new head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. I

(12:56):
have heard for quite a while that Dusty May is
a guy that had his eye on the NBA. Remember, Terry,
this guy has only been a head coach for eight years.
Eight years two years of Michigan gets his national title.
And if you go back, there's a tweet from Pete
Thamil right at the beginning of April, and in that tweet,

(13:17):
he says Dusty May has no interest in college jobs.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
That was not.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Accidental wording by Pete Sammil. Dusty's had his eye on
NBA jobs and now he gets to go coach Cooper Flag.
I don't think this is the referendum on college basketball
that you know, the clickbait folks in the college basketball
media want to make it out to be the sport

(13:46):
is doomed, the best coaches are going to leave. No,
this is a great coach that had a chance to
go coach a generational talent. And does it you know,
does it hurt that maybe there's a scenario in there
where he doesn't have to deal with some of this
stuff and he gets to go to the NBA and

(14:09):
leave a little bit of the madness from college behind. Sure,
but I don't think it's why you think. Dusty May
talked to Jeff Goodman a couple of weeks ago and
told him some of his frustrations with college basketball. So
we'll listen to that. We'll get a Red's lineup some
point in time. Today we got plenty coming and a

(14:31):
full day, and like I said, no guests, So the
phone lines are open all day if you want to
talk here's something you want to discuss. Give us a call.
Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty. Let's take
a break. Get this show on the road. This is
the Moeger Show. Since Anti's ESPN fifteen thirty.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
Traffic from the UC Health Traffics.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right, let's get this thing going. We got plenty
of other stuff to get to to Tarran. Lionel Messi
is now the all time leader in goals in World
Cup history eighteen record was sixteen seventeen early in the
first middle of late first half today and then gets

(15:26):
the eighteenth in extra time to give Argentina a two
zip win over Austria. Tarran, who's the greatest this? I
think this is fascinating. Who's the greatest athlete you've ever
seen in person? Okay, never mind Terrence screening a call?

(15:50):
Easy one for me. And I've seen a lot. I've
been very fortunate in my sports fandom. In my life,
I've seen a lot of great players.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
There is a lot.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
You know, you.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Get the bug, you gotta go catch this guy that
you've never seen before. I would say the best athlete
I've ever seen in person was Bo Jackson, My dad
and I did like a little baseball tour back when
I was a kid. I believe it was either ninety
one or ninety two. I remember that vividly because I

(16:26):
was in a Nasty Boys T shirt and the guys
in the bullpen in Kansas City when we went to
see a Royals game, where we're giving me crap about
having a Nasty Boys T shirt, and I was like,
got a ring champions Hello. But getting to see Bo
Jackson in person incredible. I hate that we don't get

(16:51):
to talk about, like what was Bo Jackson becoming like
a truly generational player potentially in boat sports. I think
that's the best athlete I've ever seen. But Messi, I
think now has cemented himself as the all time great
and there's still a lot of tournament.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Left for Messi. Here.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
How about this from UK is Great g R eight
about my conversation to open the show about au Hainio
Suarez and Kyle Schwarber Classic Monday Morning quarterbacking. Gino had
forty nine homers last year, thirty to forty was predicted
for this season. Look, UK is Great. I liked the

(17:42):
Geno signing. I don't think signing Gino was a bad thing.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
They had to do something and they needed a bat,
so they went out and got the best bat available
at that time late in the process.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Good for them, But there is a reason Kyle Schwarber
got five years twenty five million dollars a year and
au Hanio Suarez got one year, fifteen million.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
There's a reason for that.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Because Schwarber is a significantly better player, and if the
Reds really had a chance to get Schwarber, genuinely, really
had a chance to get Schwarber, they would have made
a better offer. I don't think they wanted to get Schwarber,
think they wanted to make it look like they were

(18:33):
in on Schwarber only from their pivot to whatever would
be that au Haenio Suarez level player. I commend them
for making the move and pulling the trigger and getting Gino,
but getting Gino keeps you at a eighty to eighty

(18:55):
three win team. Getting Schwarberg gives you the upside to
be a nineth you win team because you've got a
guy in the middle of that lineup with a booming
bat in a cracker jack ballpark that could have anchored
the Cincinnati reds offense Monday morning quarterback. Get out of here.

(19:18):
Let's take a break. Go to the phones after this.
Phone lines are open all afternoon, five, one, three, seven,
fifteen thirty Chad Brenda and for Moegar The Moeger Show
on Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Thirty, Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

Speaker 7 (19:37):
Traffic from the Cincinnati's sports station, ESPN fifteen thirty.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Honey rolling right along hour number one Moegger Show.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Since that He's ESPN fifteen thirty. Wyndham Clark, winner of
four point five million dollars, the US Open champion wire
to wire, shoots a sixty four on Thursday. Parr was

(20:26):
seventy sixty four on Thursday, sixty nine on Friday, seventy,
on Saturday, seventy three on Sunday. He does not break
Parr on Saturday or Sunday, but got out far enough
that he holds off Sam Burns and wins the US

(20:47):
Open by one stroke.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
What what do you have.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Any idea why the crowd hates Wyndam Clark, Tarren no
either the Shinnakok crowd call. If you know, I was
not super dialed in to the golf. This weekend, Tarn
Can I can I confess something from this weekend?

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (21:13):
I thought the Reds game on Saturday was at night,
so you know, there was a family thing going on Saturday.
I was occupied Saturday during the day and by the
time we got done doing everything we had to do whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
I went to check.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
And see what time first pitch was for the Red
Yankees on Saturday night, and the Reds had already won.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Tended to hand up.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
That's on me. That's poor planning on my part. I
wouldn't because of what was going on. I would not
have been able to pay attention and anyway, So I
guess I don't feel as bad about it, Taran. But
pulling up the MLB app on my phone and seeing
ten to two and going welp, not getting that one back?

Speaker 3 (22:13):
What did you? What did you do? And stay it.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Uh Saturday night? We just it was it was a
back deck night. So like where I live in Independence,
like there's it's kind of like a like a a
Tale of Two Cities, Tarran. When you sit out in
the front, like when we do a fire pit, we
sit out in the driveway right and it's the front

(22:38):
driveway and you can see all the people and there's
you know, people walking their dogs, constantly, going by cars, constantly,
going by kids on bikes.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
The whole nine yards. It's pretty busy.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
When you sit on the back deck, there's like a
really nice view you get to see like the sun
drop over the tree. Like it's it's a different it's
a whole different environment. So we went back deck on
Saturday night and just kind of chilled out, enjoyed. It's
a long day Saturday up until like six o'clock, so,

(23:14):
you know. But Wyndam Clark, big, big victory, his second
US Open.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
I just don't know why. Why do people hate him?

Speaker 1 (23:27):
The crowd was not happy with Wyndam Clark at Shinnecock.
UK is great, is I'm sorry? I was still I
was pulling something up. Yeah, UK is great as back
Taran he said, let's face it, he was not signing

(23:50):
with Cincinnati Schwarber, regardless of how much we offered him.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Here's what we know.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
UK is great when it comes to Kyle Schwarber. He
certainly wasn't signing when everybody he was offering twenty five
million a year and you were offering twenty He was
not signing at that point, you are right with what
the Reds offered. He was not signing here, so we'll
never find out. It's easy to play your side and say, well,

(24:21):
he was never coming here.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
It doesn't matter. We don't know that.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
There could have been a desire for him to come home.
What the Reds offered made it laughable to think that
that was even a possibility.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Laughable.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
There's no chance he was coming home when the Reds
were twenty five million dollars short on the life of
the deal. What if the reads were even on the
life of the deal. But if God forbid, the Reds
were the highest bidder on a player that potentially could

(25:02):
have changed the entire look of their offense. I'm just saying,
if you don't give yourself an actual chance to sign
the guy, you tell me a lineup that's got Ellie
south Stewart and Kyle Schwarber in the middle of it

(25:25):
isn't better than what they're running out there right now.
Remember when when south Stewart winning his slump, it was
because aohani O Swarez got hurt and was out of
the lineup. Suarez is a good hitter. This is not
being said to trash Au haani O Schuarez. It is

(25:47):
being said to point out if you're if you're actually
serious about winning, and Kyle Schwarber was interested in coming home,
you put a real package together to get him in Cincinnati,
and you.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Make him say no. And if he says no, yes,
that stinks. But guess what.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Guess what, at least at that point you can say
we made a legitimate, serious play for Kyle Schwarber. What
the Reds did was find a way to be talked
about on the internet for a week with Kyle Schwarber.
They didn't try to sign him. They weren't truly interested

(26:33):
in bringing him to Cincinnati. They just wanted it to
look good on the internet. They wanted it to play
for the fan base. Oh look, they're the Reds. Are
this ownership group serious? They're turning over a new leaf.
You can't turn over a new leaf if you never
had any chance in the first place. That's my point

(26:54):
in all this. You don't think it would have changed
how this team looks to have a guy with twenty
nine home runs on June twenty first, because he could
still hit one today. I don't know if they play today.
He could hit one today and have thirty by June

(27:15):
twenty second.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
It's a matter of.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Understanding what you need, and you could get me started
on a million different things with where this franchise has failed,
where this organization has failed, ideas that are good from
the start, like go get a bunch of big, hard
throwing pitchers in your minor leagues that project to the bullpen.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
A lot of times.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
When you do that, you know, coming in those guys
are going to probably have a little bit of command
issue and probably struggle throwing strikes a little bit. But
you count on your people in the organization to fix that.
You count on your people bringing these guys up through
the miners to refine those skills and to get them

(28:12):
to a point where they are throwing hard and throwing strikes.
I thought about this over the weekend too. They've done
this thing right for seven eight years now, where you know,
the majority of their draft is drafting middle infielders and
then saying they're the best athletes on the field, mainly shortstops.

(28:35):
They're the best athletes on the field, so as they
move through the system will figure out where they fit
best because they're blocked with La DA light cruise at shortstop.
Right now they're blocked. How many of those guys have worked?

(28:56):
How many Matt McLean's at second struggling. We're just now
starting to see Edwin Arroyo. He has not hit at
all really since he got up here. Noelve Marte, Nope,
Like okay, they they have a plan. But if the

(29:21):
plan doesn't work, where where's the ability to pivot to
a different plan. Where where's the ability to say, Okay,
we we thought that was the right path. Maybe we
still think that's the right path. We need to go
get somebody better in the minor leagues to develop the
the arms that want to that we want to throw

(29:43):
or we want to perform in this certain fashion. Where's
the person that develops in the minor leagues that takes
that shortstop and teaches him how to be a right fielder,
takes that shortstop and teaches him how to play first
or third our center field. The Reds don't seem to

(30:08):
have that because there hasn't been a say that the
one guy that succeeded is Ellie at shortstop. So then,
in light of all of that stuff potentially not working, okay,
we need to pivot. We've got a chance to go
get Kyle Schwarber and put a fifty sixty home run

(30:31):
bat in the middle of the lineup, and we come
up five million dollars a year short, twenty five million
dollars short over the life of the contract. As it
was reported that that doesn't seem like a team that
is as serious as it needs to be about winning

(30:54):
a championship.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
And that's why I brought it up.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Like I said, it's it's not in any way, shape
or form a shot at Suarez because I was excited
that the Reds got him because they needed a bat.
They needed a guy somewhere in that four or five
six spot in the lineup that had some pop that
pitchers feared, and that could add protection for the guys

(31:18):
in front of him and produce runs at his spot
in the order. Injury has obviously been a little bit
of a problem there, so that cost him some games.
So I'm not fully gonna make this a look at
the box score game, look at the numbers game. But

(31:40):
if you've watched him play, strikes out a lot, doesn't
get a lot of hits, does have the power that
you need at times that pictures fear and has been
when he's been in the lineup, South Stewart's been better,
noticeably better than when he was out of the lineup.

(32:01):
It's not a knock at all on Aohannio Suarez. It
is a question as to does this franchise understand the
difference that it makes on game day over one hundred
and sixty two games, when you aren't really serious about
getting Kyle Schwarmer and you settle for au Haniosuarez. That's

(32:25):
it for Hour number one, Hour number two coming up.
I'm Chad brendle In for Moeger, Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

Two, Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty Moagger Show. Chad brendle In
for the week mob be back on Friday, looking forward
to having a good week.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
I thank you for choosing me.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Got some Reds news transactions for today. Veteran right hander
Pierce Johnson, activated from the fifteen day injured list, gives
the Reds a much needed arm towards the back end
of that bullpen. I don't know exactly what Johnson's role

(33:58):
is as he comes back, but with a pitching staff
that's pretty regularly only giving you five innings maybe into
the sixth, the Reds need arms. They need guys that
can get you through the sixth, through the seventh and
to the back end of that bullpen, which has been
better of late. Tj Antone Tony santition that those guys

(34:24):
have been getting the job done. You need help getting
to those guys. Pierce Johnson should do that. The Reds
also a great story right handed pitcher Julian Garcia, thirty
one years old. When he takes the mound for the Reds,
it will be his major league debut. Thirty one, took

(34:48):
off the twenty twenty three season, pitched in Indie Ball
twenty four and twenty five. Think Florence Yawl's has made
it all the way back to back through the minor
leagues and now with a chance to make his major
league debut with the Reds at thirty one, and the

(35:09):
way things have gone for this bullpen, he'll get a shot.
Zach Maxwell optioned to Triple A Louisville, Chris Paddock.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Designated for assignment.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
We also.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Have a lineup for the Reds done in center, Blade
and left. Stewart at first low, the DH Steer at
second base, Suarez at third, Marte and right Stevenson behind
the dish, and Matt McClain at shortstop batting ninth. Brady

(35:46):
Singer on the mound for the Reds. And Brady Singer
needs to get going, needs to get going. He is
a full point above his career er. Fourteen starts, he's

(36:07):
three and six five point thirty two ERA only fifty
two strikeouts and sixty six innings, a one point six y'
one whip up from one point three to three over
his career. This is a guy that's supposed to be
your inning eater at the back end of the rotation,

(36:27):
a guy that you're supposed to be able to count
on as a veteran to help get you through some
tough times, to help keep some arms off of your bullpen.
So far, he's averaging about four and two thirds innings pitched.

(36:53):
You can't have that at the back of your bullpen.
You just can't. It's a singer on the mountain tonight
for the Reds. Before we get rolling an hour number two,
let's get out to the phones. First phone call of
the day, Mike in l A, Mike, how the.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Heck are you.

Speaker 9 (37:14):
Reading to my friend? You and TV the Dynamic Duo?

Speaker 3 (37:20):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Brother?

Speaker 9 (37:22):
Well, you wanted to know what the deal with Clark was, uh,
last year, a couple of years ago, when he when
he last year when he didn't when he blew it
didn't win it, he tore the freaking clubhouse up.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yeah, I did see that. Somebody sent me that.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Over the break where he he well, and he had.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
He's been known for.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Throwing clubs on the course the but Oakmont was at
Oakmont last year that he uh, he destroyed the locker room.
They banned him him from the club unless he made
a meaningful contribution to charity selected by Oakmont and he
undergoes counseling and or anger management therapy. Mike, I say

(38:13):
this in jest. Isn't this everybody that plays golf? Shouldn't
the everyman a golfer love this guy, Yes.

Speaker 9 (38:21):
Yeah, if you're serious about it much around exactly.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
He's trying to win. He got mad, he had a
little bit of a temper tantrum. I know you can't
do that. I'm kidding, but you would think that would
make him like a fan favorite, not a pariah.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
They were on him, they were all over him.

Speaker 9 (38:41):
Yeah, it was okay if John Dalely used to come
out there drunk as a monkey and play well, he
was barefoot.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
He was ripping heaters on like the you know, at
the turn, he's gotta get, gotta get, gotta get a
couple of Marlborough reds in.

Speaker 9 (39:00):
He was something else with that big beer belly. Yeah,
he was else. Daily was looked like you were twelve
with that blonde hair and a baby face, and from
the neck down he was all man. I'll say, he
was so goo. So what's been going on? Bro?

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Nothing? Uh? You know, living living the dream in here
from O all week.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Lance just posted something that made me kind of depressed.
How about how about this Mike? The Brewers coming into
this series, the Brewers are twenty eighth in baseball in
home runs. I've only had sixty eight home runs their
second and runs per game, their seventh best and lowest

(39:44):
strikeout rate. They've got the third best batting average, which
this as a purist, Mike, as an old schooler, the
Brewers are third in baseball with an average of two
fifty six.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
That's crazy to me.

Speaker 9 (40:00):
Yeah, yeah, they're only behind I think the Dodgers in
the break.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
But it's the number.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Two fifty six is the third best team batting average
in baseball.

Speaker 9 (40:10):
You have two forty one the average right now.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
It is crazy on base on bait, Well, it's one
I think it is pitching. It's it's really hard to
hit one hundred mile an hour fastball, and a lot
of people throwndred one hundred miles an hour.

Speaker 9 (40:29):
Now, yeah, but the guys hit fastballs easier than they
hit curve balls and sliders. Well, and you notice they
called to talk about this sweeper. The sweeper is nothing
but a damn slade.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
It's a sliders.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
But but Mike, what happens is that one hundred mile
an hour fastball sets you up for the slider, and
the slider wipes you out because it comes at the
same plane. You can throw it the same as the fastball.
And guys can't read it. And and that's why the
slider is so effective now is because you're airing it
with that one hundred mile an hour fastball and then

(41:03):
the ninety ninety two mile an hour slider.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
You just can't get your bat on.

Speaker 9 (41:07):
Yeah. And then if guy, if you got to change up,
then you're really deadly. Yeah, deadly. And you know, Reds fans,
come on, let's quick complaining about our injuries. I listen
to this. My Dodgers out of the starting twenty six
or whatever it is, just from opening day, fifteen of
those guys are on the d L fifteen, eleven of

(41:30):
them are pitchers, Glass nails out, Snels out, Stone's out
Edwin Diaz is out, ti Oscar Hernandez is out. From
the hitting side, Will Smith is out. But they find
a way. They find a way.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Well, that's twofold killing it.

Speaker 9 (41:47):
Andy pa has and some of the young guys Dalton
rushing their back up tax they got and Max Munsey
who they got off the scrap heap seven years ago,
is tearing it up.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Well that's twofold, Mike. And you know this, this isn't
saying anything shocking. One they're spending a bunch of money
and spending it the way that they're structuring it and
spending it. I know people hate it, but the rules
allow it, and they're doing it, and they're taking advantage
of the system.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
So they're not.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
Only spending, but they're spending intelligently in accordance with the rules,
and they have a dynamite farm system. That's one of
my biggest problems with the Reds. Okay, if you're the
Reds and you decide like we're gonna go and focus
on we're gonna draft the best athletes we can find,
it just so happens the best athletes are usually stor shortstops.

(42:36):
We're gonna go out, we're gonna find the best athletes,
and then what we're gonna do is we're gonna stick
them all at shortstop all the way through their progression
until the top of their progression. And then we can't
play them at shortstop because Ellie's a shortstop, right, So
you're not gonna play them a shortstop, and then you
don't figure out what to do with them until the

(42:56):
end of the process.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Wouldn't it make sense?

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Ohay, Noel v Marte, we project you at right, field,
and as soon as he hits the minor leagues, he's
playing corner outfield spots. Edwin Arroyo, we project you at
second or third base. So instead of spending three, four
or five years playing a position he's never gonna play
for the Reds. Instead, they put him at shortstop. They

(43:22):
don't let him get work at second and third and
all the other positions that they potentially want him to
end up at. And then when he gets to the
major leagues, he looks lost because they're using him in
a way that he hasn't been used in five or
six years. Like I don't mind the drafting shortstops philosophy,
it's how they executed that doesn't make any damn sense.

Speaker 9 (43:44):
Yeah, because you know everybody talks about you. This is
so true. Everybody talks about the big free agents, the
big free agents, but the really solid teams are the
ones that develop their farm systems. Like you're saying that
that's everybody who plays for the Dodgers and the Yankees
or the Braves, that they're not all free agents for
Christ's sake, Wake up, look at the box.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Score, right or you know I talked about this too,
like the the the arms in the minor leagues for
the Reds. They got all these guys with big arms,
throw hard, they can't throw strikes. So then that means
that you have to have a minor league system if
that's your philosophy. If your philosophy is we're gonna go

(44:27):
get these big arms, maybe a little bit wild, but
we're gonna train them so that by the time they
get to the bigs they're ready to go. That's a
great philosophy, the Red's philosophy. These guys come in, they
throw hard, they never learn how to throw strikes.

Speaker 9 (44:45):
Yeah, I mean, look at these Cardinals though. Oh they'll
say they'll say a month ago, they'll say they they
ain't got nothing. They'll say that ain't happening. They're not
fading at all, right, They're getting better and better and better.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Yeah, and you go through and look at some of
the bullpen arms that the Reds have used five forty,
ERA seven, twenty seven, ERA five ten, Era five thirty three,
ERA six, six, twelve, four.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Eighty like that that's not that's not conducive to winning
more games than you lose.

Speaker 9 (45:24):
Like I'm supposed to be excited about Pegan when he
went down he was almost seven. What is era? So
I'm how how excited can I do about a meal?
And you're right what you said earlier. You got to
have somebody that comes out of that pen that just
scorches it, because that's what most closers do, right, They
scorch it. They ain't playing to hit it?

Speaker 8 (45:46):
Right?

Speaker 9 (45:47):
What what do they call that? You hit the contact
or whatever? Pitch the contact? No, that's not what closes
typically do. Remember Goose Gossage and some of these guys,
they were the first ones they came in into it.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
It was smoke right absolutely.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
And look the other thing is you rampick up? Apparently
you rampag on out there for three weeks with a
bad hammy.

Speaker 9 (46:08):
Yeah, yeah, what the hell's going on?

Speaker 1 (46:12):
I just I question Mike if they're serious. There are ways,
and we're seeing it across baseball. When you look at
the standings, there are mid market teams that are doing well.
The Rays are doing well, the Guardians are doing well,
the White Sox are doing well, the Athletics are doing well,

(46:32):
the Brewers are doing well. The Cardinals aren't really spending
a ton of money. I mean, the Diamondbacks aren't spending
a ton of money there. There is a blueprint to succeed.
The Reds just refuse to follow it. That's my nothing.

Speaker 9 (46:49):
And even the Bengals were doing that for several years,
right they were, Yeah, they were defying what the good
Well part of it was to spend some money. But hey,
let me ask you. I know you got to go,
but I do want to switch for just one second.
I'm trying to figure out why they're putting all their
eggs in one basket with these with those two linebackers

(47:13):
for the Bengals, that this makes me nervous for them.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
I think they You know, Mike, the NFL is very
much a copycat league, right. The blueprint right now is
put all of your eggs in the bet. Not all
of them, but as many as you can put in
the basket on defense of getting to the quarterback at
the line of scrimmage, being able to rush four and
disrupt the quarterback with four and you don't want to blitz.

(47:40):
You want to be able to drop guys into coverage.
I know they're hoping fingers crossed. I hope is not
a strategy, but they're hoping those two guys at least
tackle better going into their second year with the year
of experience under their belt. I believe the philosophy is
very simple in terms of we believe, if we have
two pretty good corners, which they think they have two

(48:00):
pretty good outside corners, they think they're okay at safety,
let's go get heat on the quarterback. And when we
get heat on the quarterback, they'll make more mistakes and
that'll make our defense better. I don't love that they
ignored linebacker, but at least I understand what they're trying

(48:20):
to accomplish. They're trying to look like Seattle. They're trying
to look like the Texans teams that just relentlessly down
after down, snap after snap, make the quarterback uncomfortable in
the pocket. That's the blueprint that they're going after. Did
they execute it well enough? We'll find out in a
couple months.

Speaker 9 (48:40):
No, but you're right, they're doing what the Reds should
be doing. They're doing what the red should be doing.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Yeah, they're taking the current trends.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
They're saying, how does that fit within our structure, and
then we're going to attack that.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
What are the Reds doing.

Speaker 9 (48:57):
Well? Nick Krawl, I mean, will they ever get rid?

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Here's the thing, Mike, I don't think it unless they're
willing to go outside of the organization, unless you're willing
to go get somebody from Milwaukee, unless you're willing to
go get somebody from the White Sox and how they
you know, built things up or from the guard You know,
they got Terry, but Terry won in Cleveland in part
because that's a front office in an organization that understands

(49:24):
who it is and how it wants to succeed. And
then they put a great manager in that situation, and
that that manager's got the tools and you allow him
to have success. I don't I don't you know what
great manager could win with this red roster. I don't
think there is one.

Speaker 9 (49:43):
No, there isn't one. And Dave Roberts would not be
as successful if he went Cincinnati. There's no way. No.
I got good news for you, and then I know
you got to go. Guess what they brought to the
up to the hospital for us last night. Mike. God,
they are good.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
It's so good, like it's so good it is.

Speaker 9 (50:05):
I appreciate your time, brother.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Thanks Mike, you have a wonderful day. We'll talk tomorrow, Yes, sir,
take care there. We go. Let's take a break.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Let's get to some Bengals for the rest of our
two when we come back.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

Speaker 5 (50:21):
Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

Speaker 8 (50:25):
Traffic from the UCE Health Traffic Center. Don't let injuries
slow you down this summer. The U see Health orthopedics
and sports medicine experts can help keep you moving. Schedule
the same day appointment at ucehealth dot com in.

Speaker 5 (50:39):
Ohio, the draft, and everything in between.

Speaker 10 (50:42):
We've got the Bengals off season covered on ESPN fifteen thirty,
the official home of the Bengals.

Speaker 6 (50:58):
Don't call it a come back.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Are you gonna play this from on Friday?

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Friday?

Speaker 2 (51:11):
When he comes back? Don't call it a comeback. He's
been here for years, so he's only back for like
a day or two and then he's yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Because I had to turn down because I'm I'm gone
next week because he's got Nationals in Orlando for volleyball
next week, and I had to I had to politely
decline a couple of those days.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
Pray for me. I will. I don't even know what I.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Think I think we've got.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
So that the big thing at National's Terrance is morning
wave or afternoon wave. Morning wave you start or like
you're you have to be there at like six thirty
in the morning, but you get done at like two
o'clock and you got the rest of the day at
the hotel to hang out by the pool and kind of,
you know, enjoy Orlando.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
The second wave.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
If you do afternoon wave, the game start at like
two three o'clock and you're there until like ten, and
then by the time you're done, the pool is shutting down.
Like yeah, there's a couple places. It's a really nice hotel.
It's one of the Universal resorts that we stay at,
like that you can hang out, but like it's you know,

(52:23):
so I know, the first two days at least we've
got morning wave, so I become more of a morning
person of late Terran, not entirely a morning person, but
better than I used to be. The Bengals there's an

(52:46):
article up on NFL dot com and it's from Eric
ed Hoolme. Are you familiar with him Terran?

Speaker 2 (52:52):
I'm not. He did a good job, he says. He's
their lead draft writer.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Wrote an article NFL teams players who will redefine the
narrative in twenties twenty six Giants and Joe Burrow to
flip script. He does a great job saying what I've
been kind of getting at throughout this entire offseason. And
that's when it comes to like when you see the
power rankings, when you see people talk about the Bengals

(53:24):
on a national scale, they're generally in the middle of
the pack. They're generally twelve, fourteen, fifteen, seventeen, somewhere in there,
and it feels like people are afraid for two reasons,
two pretty clear reasons. People are afraid to elevate them
back into this team as a fairly legit Super Bowl contender.

(53:50):
And the easy one to point to is defense, because
they were incredibly bad the past two seasons. It just
fell apart. Whatever they were trying to do didn't work.
They got old, and then they tried to flip the
script and go young, and it hasn't worked. It's been

(54:16):
it's been a bit of a disaster. And I know
there was an improvement at the end of last season.
They did not face any real great quarterbacks in that stretch.
Lamar Jackson was out and then it was you know,
a bunch of the guys that are hanging out in
the bottom bottom third of the league, that the defense

(54:37):
showed improvement. But find me a team that's Boye, Mafe, Dexter, Lawrence,
Brian Cook to the heart of their defense defensive tackle, rush, end, safety,
Like that's as good a three. I guess maybe what

(54:59):
the Rams just because they added Miles Garrett, like whatever
other two guys they added with Miles Garrett makes them better, right,
Not gonna argue that. I'll give you that, But I
don't think the Bengals are getting maybe enough credit for
what they did to kind of bolster that defense, to

(55:19):
stock up defensively at three critical positions, and then the
other of course being and this is.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
The big one.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
I don't think anybody wants to say it out loud,
but they kind of said it here in this article.
If Joe Burrow's healthy, if Joe Burrow can play fifteen, sixteen,
seventeen games, this is a Bengals team that's going to
flip the narrative.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
They state. Since the start of the twenty twenty one season,
Cincinnati's forty one and twenty six in games, Joe Burrows
started five and twelve with anyone else taking his place.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
There you have it if the defense, which is where
they have been insanely aggressive a year or too late. Yeah, probably,
I'd make that argument all day every day. They should
have seen this last offseason and been aggressive and fixing it.

(56:21):
They tried to change the coordinator. That wasn't good enough.
It was the players. They didn't have enough great players
to have a great defense. Now they should. Now they
should be more equipped to have enough great players to
get the job done. I've talked about this for like

(56:43):
a decade now. It might not be a decade, but
it's getting close. When Zach Taylor first got the job
and Paul Danner Junior did a deep dive on if
you're gonna win, you're gonna have to have guys that
grade out across your roster as a top ten player

(57:06):
at their position in the NFL. That defense last year,
maybe DJ Turner, you could argue, was a top ten corner.
They have anybody else didn't have anybody else that was
a top ten player at the position in their league
in the league. I don't know if Mafey is going
to get there, but I think he's got a legitimate

(57:28):
chance to be a breakout defensive end, especially playing next
to Dexter Lawrence. Dexter Lawrence top ten defensive tackle, not
even a question. They could very much make an argument.
For Brian Cook, a is a top ten safety and
now with another year under his belt, I think you

(57:48):
can very much make a case. If he's not in
the top ten, he's right there knocking at the door.
For DJ Turner. Now you got three, maybe four guys
top ten in their position and defense in the NFL.
That gives your defense a chance to make a significant jump.
I see a lot of well, we don't know about

(58:10):
their offensive line depth. Nobody knows about anybody's offensive line depth.
If there's injuries all along along your offensive line, you're
in big trouble. Every team in the NFL. Nobody's got
a dominant left tackle and then a swing tackle that
could make the Pro Bowl if given the opportunity.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
Teams don't have enough money for that.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
And the only way it works is if you get
absolutely lucky in the draft and get a guy in
the sixth round that ends up being, you know, a star.
But I think with the borrow thing, everybody's walking on eggshells.
They're afraid to say it. I don't have faith in
the Bengals because I don't know if I can count
on Joe Burrow for fifteen sixteen seventeen games.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
And I think that's fair. But just just put.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
It on the table, say why it's not because they're
missing a starting slot corner. That is not why you're
worried about the Bengals in twenty twenty six. You're worried
because you don't know if Joe Burrow is going to
hold up through an entire season. If he does, I
think it's a top ten team in the NFL. I

(59:26):
think they've done enough defensively to legitimately look at it
and say, I mean, unless Dexter Lawrence is a complete flop,
so as that doesn't happen, they've done enough to say
we're gonna be good enough on defense to give Joe
the support he needs and let him go out and
win games. I love that this guy called a Spata spade,

(59:50):
and I think he's dead on The Bengals can absolutely
flip the script and rewrite their narrative starting in September.
Just take a break more after this. Since he's ESPN
fifteen thirty.

Speaker 5 (01:00:06):
Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty Traffic from the.

Speaker 7 (01:00:11):
UC Health Traffic Center, Sports Station ESPN fifteen thirty.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Do you remember for something you heard the legend and
the Korea end up with the roll kill is.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Nothing would send down? How about enough? It took up
the pic and Brenda. It's not the power continents. It's
took a pala, but your head is about to consent.
It's ten pounds. We play a point out on a Brenda.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
I'm not supposed to the bottle doesn't feel right to
talk over an LL verse like this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
It doesn't give you any Now he doesn't Breathe.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Still got it, and think about that he got he
got big and like what eighty four eighty five?

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
It's crazy? What is he sixty? Still yoked and can
still get down to business.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
L's a legend. LL's a legend. He's fifty eight. I
guess he was like fourteen though when he got big,
didn't he or when he first like blew up? He's young, young, young.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
God?

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Yeah, all right, Uh, let's uh, let's let's continue kind
of the Bengals narrative here, as there's only a couple
questions with this team that there's really and it some

(01:02:00):
of it genuinely feels like nitpicking.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
I keep like, are they gonna go get a big
time running back? Right?

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
And Chase Brown been pretty good? But what's the what's
the belief that you have to go get somebody to
to to push him at running back? I get that
it's a situation where if he gets hurt, you're not

(01:02:31):
really exactly sure what you have behind him. I don't
think you know if Tos Brooks is ready or not tearing?
Are we allowed to like TODs Brooks? Oh h yeah,
he's fine. Okay, we don't, we don't. We don't lump
him in with the Texas Tech stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
No no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
He got out of there before, just in time, just
in time. Okay. I don't know if I'm sold on
that yet.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
My my battles with the Texas Tech the Cacti folk
have been pretty legendary this past.

Speaker 11 (01:03:09):
But if Jace Brown does get hurt, and I'm not
wishing that injury on them, but there is one guy
out there that can call.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
Who's that?

Speaker 11 (01:03:16):
I don't even know if I should mention his name
here in Cincinatti. Okay, but uh, Joe Mixon, I.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
Mean I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
I don't know if you'd want to rely on mixing
at this point in time. I think if you're saying
as a back, yeah, if you needed, it's like break
glass in case of emergency. On Joe Mixon that the
Texans let him go, Yeah, a free agent, but what
so running back a little bit like the Bengals return

(01:03:48):
all eleven starters on offense. I get the concern over
offensive line depth somewhat, but I just don't feel like
if you lose any team that loses their left tackle
is in some trouble. That's not a Bengals specific thing.

(01:04:09):
I think there are some guys that have proven if
needed in a pinch Cody Ford. Do you want Cody
Ford starting seventeen games?

Speaker 4 (01:04:16):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
But I think for the most part, when they've called
on Cody Ford, he hasn't been a revolving door.

Speaker 4 (01:04:28):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
Do I think they'd like to be better at their
backup offensive line group, Sure, I just think that everybody
would be. I don't think there's a whole lot of
teams that are super comfortable with backup center, interior guy
that can play all the positions and swing tackle, because

(01:04:51):
if those guys were good, they wouldn't be backups. There's
not an abundance of those guys around the NFL. Starting
left tackles are out premium for a reason. There's not
a lot of them, especially now that those dudes are
six foot nine, three hundred and forty pounds and can move.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
There's not a lot of them out there. Linebacker is fair.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Like those two guys have to take a significant jump
at linebacker, and the Bengals didn't really bring in anybody
at least to this point, haven't really brought anybody in
to challenge them. They are giving those two guys the
benefit of the doubt and saying, look, you have to

(01:05:40):
be better, and we believe you will be better. But
I don't know how you can have any concerns with
what they did on the defensive line. Did everything you
could humanly possibly do, traded for an all pro, got
a veteran and Jonathan at that I don't think really

(01:06:00):
gets talked about enough for some of the stability that
he adds on the interior of that offensive line. You
go get Boye Mafey, You've got Miles Murphy, You've got
Shamar Stewart. Like they're a bj Hill is still around.
You've got the pieces to kind of copy the blueprint.

(01:06:22):
That's that's been ultra successful in the NFL over the
past couple of years. The teams that can get to
the quarterback give themselves a chance every Sunday because it
covers up so much else because your defense isn't covering
for days and days and days because the quarterback's not

(01:06:46):
able to sit back there in the pocket, as we've
seen the past two years, have a snack, maybe eat
a sandwich, get his nails done if you're Caleb Williams,
and then make play over the middle of the field,
putting your linebacker in a tough position to make a
tackle because they're running and chasing around for extended periods

(01:07:11):
of time. So, yeah, I'm not thrilled with linebacker and
I guess you could point to secondary depth, but we
knew this part of the deal. When the Bengals signed Burrow,
Chasing Higgins and then added Dexter Lawrence. That's four top

(01:07:33):
of the NFL contracts at their position. Your depth is
gonna suffer.

Speaker 7 (01:07:42):
You have to.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
There's a little give and take in every situation. When
you got four super high priced guys, you're probably gonna
expect your depth to be a little bit in question.
But that's not a Bengals exclusive. There are plenty of
tea when you look at these power rankings that are
out there leading up to the start of camp, over

(01:08:04):
the next four weeks, five weeks, whatever it is. I
think it's about four weeks. Isn't the tarn from the
start of camp?

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
A lot of teams have these concerns. A lot of
teams have these issues. It's not Bengals exclusive. But like
I said in the last segment, when you're trying to
just not say outright, I don't trust Joe Burrow to
be healthy for seventeen games, you're putting a little bit

(01:08:36):
of emphasis on other things that maybe more than you
are other teams that have the same question. Buffalo is
not dealing with those questions because there's Josh Allen has
been a tank. Josh Allen's been behind center pretty much
every snap, So you don't have to nitpick because you

(01:09:00):
can count on Josh Allen. Let's take a break.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
We'll get into the dusty mate stuff a little bit
here in hour three. I think it's pretty fascinating. Sincenati's
ESPN fifteen.

Speaker 5 (01:09:11):
Thirty Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty traffic.

Speaker 8 (01:09:18):
From the UC Health Traffic Center.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
Here we go our number three, The Mowager Show, Cincinnati,
ESPN fifteen thirty. Thank you for choosing me, Chad Brenda,
Bearcat Journal dot Com in for Moeggar this week. Mo

(01:09:59):
will be back briefly on Friday. Load management season in
full effect, Terran, for everyone, for everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
Well, the audio will be back tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
We had fun joking about audio on Friday, maybe being
like he load manages just as much as the other two.
That's all right. Audie works hard, works a lot. I
don't blame him for a look, if they give you
vacation days, you take them right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
For sure, because that trust me. I got some days
coming up myself.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
There's always a lot of tension in the room, Terran.
When I'm working and I find out you're not. There's
tension in the room, a lot of pressure behind these boards.
You gotta play to write music with you, Yeah, nobody else.
Nobody else does. They don't even really try.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
I get it. They're young.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
They wouldn't know our playlist if it's smacked him in
the face. They couldn't tell you when l O like,
they weren't even they're a glimmer in their parents' eye
when Llo Cool Jay first hit the scene. It's all right,

(01:11:22):
it's a special synergy. The two of us have France
and Iraq underway in the World Cup. Messi cements his legacy,
becomes the all time leading scorer in World Cup history.
Earlier this afternoon with his first goal. He added a

(01:11:46):
second just for uh, you know, dexterity's sake. He has
scored five goals in their two World Cup matches. That's incredible,
incredible for Messy. Did you have an answer? You were

(01:12:06):
screening a call when I asked you the first time,
who's the greatest athlete you've ever seen perform live.

Speaker 3 (01:12:13):
Form live?

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Kobe Kobe. Yeah, that's a that's a good one. I
never saw Kobe live.

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
But doesn't count me because it was like towards his end,
like retirement.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
But that's all right, Okay, all right, that's all right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
I mean he scored what eighty one points his last
game of his career, sixty or sixty, Yeah, eighty one
was different.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
But yeah, I've seen him in Lebron.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
I saw Kad in high school. That's good, that's great. Yeah,
I was.

Speaker 11 (01:12:53):
I was the guys you've seen in high school before
they burst onto the scene. Is phenomenal, most of them,
most of them. But that's you know, you spend spent
basically a decade in gym's or so, like anybody that
came up through the AAU system from like two thousand

(01:13:13):
and nineteen, In two thousand and nine to twenty nineteen,
I got to watch usually pretty extensively. I was actually
at a who we were at the Peach Jam and
got done.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
One night, and everybody like the way Augusta is the
Peach Jam if you don't know, it's in North Augusta,
South Carolina, which is right across the state line from Augusta, Georgia,
which is where the Masters is. And Augusta, Georgia not
a great town. Pretty crappy actually if we're being honest,
but everything is off like this essentially this one exit

(01:13:52):
where the Masters is and then that's where all the
hotels are, all the restaurants for you know, the once
a year that everybody comes in and is there for
the Masters, and uh.

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
Was it in line at a gas station?

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
I think, getting you know, some snacks something before we
went back to the hotel and did our our work
that night and uh stood in line with Jason Tatum
for like five minutes. My favorite story ever on the
AAU Trailed Tear. And I was sitting I can't even
remember who I was watching at this point in time.

(01:14:29):
It was while Mick was still here and sitting in
a gym. And you know how like where the they've
got like the mini bleachers and you can kind of
like have one foot on the ground standing and like
your you know, your cheeks are on the bench right,
and all of a sudden there was like no more

(01:14:51):
light in the gym. It had just gone dark in
my particular vicinity. And I looked over my right shoulder
and Shaq is standing there.

Speaker 3 (01:15:04):
That'll do it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
His size was when Sharif was playing AAU, so he
was getting ready to play in the game after the
game I was watching, so Shaq was getting ready to
go sit courtside just turn and looked, I mean, and
he was every bit of four hundred pounds at that
point in time, seven foot one, four hundred pounds and
not like and he's big, but he wasn't like, you know, gross,

(01:15:31):
but he can just he's one of those dudes that
he's he's so his shoulders are so big, he's so
wide that he can carry four hundred pounds pretty easily.
And then sat with Carmelo like a couple chairs down
from Carmelo Anthony one time.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
Yeah, a lot of cool stuff at the events.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
Talked to Penny hard Away one time because you see,
was recruiting a kid that he play. I made a
joke about him losing four times to Cincinnati in nineteen
ninety two. That's the last time I talked to Penny Hardaway.
I was like, are you gonna let him come to Cincinnati?
And he kind of gave me a look. I said, Ah,

(01:16:16):
you're still mad about losing four times in nineteen ninety two,
aren't you. He was not happy that I had that
piece of information. Sticking with college bad. But Bo Jackson's
the answer for me. I got to see Bo Jackson
play for the Royals back in his ninety one ninety

(01:16:36):
two I was like fourteen years old, thirteen, fourteen years old,
and that was like larger than life because that was
in the middle of like the Bow nos campaign.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
You know, great great choice.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
Bo knows this, Bo knows that, but Bo don't know
Jack because bow can't rap Tarren.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
All right. P.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
Five dog, but that would be mine. Dusty May.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
Leaves the University of Michigan three months after winning a
national title and he's headed to Dallas to coach the Mavericks.
This is another one of those things that college basketball
is unraveling at the seams, and there's you know, nobody
wants a college basketball job anymore. Everybody's trying to get out.

(01:17:28):
Dusty May the latest example, and I think there's some
validity to that, but I don't think it's exactly why
people think. Dusty May was on with Jeff Goodman on
Jeff Goodman's Field of sixty eight podcast network, and he
had this to say, like three weeks ago on the

(01:17:48):
state of college basketball, do you get frustrated?

Speaker 10 (01:17:54):
I mean, you're pretty even keel and obviously you're doing
so well in this new landscape.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Do you get frustrated?

Speaker 3 (01:18:01):
And what do you get frustrated by?

Speaker 4 (01:18:04):
Yeah, obviously the frustration is there because you want you
need multi year contracts. You need if we're gonna in
my opinion, if we're gonna sign a player from a
mid major, we should pay some form of buyout and
composite compensation, which we kind of do now with money games.
But The thing that frustrates me is is even every
time there seems to be a solution to I guess,

(01:18:27):
solve one of the biggest problems, then some of the
more well known coaches come out and say that that
affects them in a negative way. And there's a give
and take with everything. There's gonna be some negative. You know,
there's gonna be it's gonna have a negative impact on someone.
But I think rarely do we look at what's best
for the enterprise of college basketball, what's best for the whole,

(01:18:50):
instead of looking at it what's best for my calendar.
I mean, it's even with the NBA stuff. You know,
when you talk about let's say players don't get drafted
and they're able to go back to college, is that
is a horrible, horrible rule for head coaches. For myself,
but everyone other than me, I think it's great if
the players don't get drafted, they don't go high, they
can come back and make the sport better. It's better

(01:19:13):
for them obviously to be back on a college campus,
growing and developing and making and being compensated well. And
it's better for the fans. It's literally better for everyone
except the college coaches who have to spend time recruiting
and then it impacts their decision on their rosters. So
we obviously make decisions based on what's best for us,
and so that's the most difficult part. I think if

(01:19:34):
we all just took a step back and said, is
this decision best for the enterprise of college basketball, for
the students, for the game, and for our profession going forward,
let us do it. If it's not, then we don't
as opposed to just sitting here saying, well, that's not
going to be good for us at Michigan, so I
don't support it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
It's a fascinating take.

Speaker 1 (01:19:55):
It's a lot of people's takes on why they were
upset with Texas Tech during the brandan So here's the thing.
A lot of people were mad at Alabama for Charles
Badaco and that situation. Baylor had a similar situation where
they were taking these guys that had been professionals for

(01:20:17):
multiple years and they found a way to get him
on the court in college basketball. You know, he didn't
mention an Il, He didn't mention really transfer portal.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
He mentioned.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
The caretakers of the sport supposed to be the coaches,
especially in college basketball the coaches. For the most part,
in college basketball, the coaches set the structure for the sport.
They come up with a lot of the rulemaking. They

(01:21:00):
decide what the calendar looks like, the recruiting calendar, They
decide what the transfer portal window looks like. They decide
who they're going to try to get on their rosters.
I know another thing that has bothered a lot of coaches,
and you're seeing them try to curtail this a little

(01:21:22):
bit with five for five with an age element to it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
There's a lot of.

Speaker 1 (01:21:35):
Europeans that are coming into the sport and they're coming
into the sport at twenty one, twenty two years old,
twenty three years old, with four or five years of
professional experience, and coming into the sport as freshmen because

(01:21:57):
their college clock never started. Well, just because you can
do that as a coach doesn't mean you should, doesn't
mean it's right for the health and the longevity of
the sport. But look, Dusty May, the word around him

(01:22:17):
was always that at some point in time he's going
to be in the NBA. Maybe the issues with college
basketball expedited that process a little bit. But I had
a talk with someone about this earlier this afternoon. The
other candidate for the job was was well. The other

(01:22:39):
big name candidate for the job was John Shire, and
the indications are the John Shire past because John Shire
is a duke. If you leave duke, you better be real,
real confident that the NBA is going to work out,

(01:23:01):
because you're not getting another duke job. There's only one
or two of those. If you're Dusty May and you
take an NBA job now and it doesn't work out
in three or four years, every other high profile job

(01:23:24):
in the country is empty in its pockets. Trying to
get you back on their sideline. Would have been the
same for Brad Stevens if Brad Stevens ever decided to
come back, still could be the same for Billy Donovan.
If Billy Donovan ever decided to come back to college,
that door will always be open for Dusty May always.

(01:23:50):
You went to Michigan, in two years, you won a championship.
You were the first coach to win a championship with
a starting five of players that did not start at Michigan.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
Dusty made did not have a problem with the structure
of the system. How do we know that.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
Because he worked it to his advantage, and he won
a national championship in quick order with the roster that
didn't have anybody that was a freshman at Michigan in
the starting lineup. So I get everybody throwing up their
hands and being mad about it, but the reality is

(01:24:29):
this is a guy that wanted to coach in the
NBA from the start. He just had an opportunity with
I mean, where would you, say, Taran, if you were
ranking young players in the NBA, where would Cooper Flag fit?
Obviously behind Wemby? What other young player are you taking

(01:24:54):
over Cooper Flag after what he showed his rookie year.

Speaker 2 (01:24:59):
It's not a long list.

Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
Yeah, that's probably about it. Yes, Wimby Cooper Flag.

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
Yes, So you get to go coach what potentially could
be a generational talent on a young team. Not a
bad gig for Dusty may stake a break more after
this Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

Speaker 5 (01:25:25):
Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty traffic.

Speaker 7 (01:25:29):
From the UC.

Speaker 5 (01:25:37):
Here we go, Yo, Here we go Yo.

Speaker 11 (01:25:39):
So scenario here oyo.

Speaker 1 (01:25:43):
I see what you're doing here, Tarreno. BO knows this,
and Bo knows that Bo do no Jack because Bo
can't wrap. You know, he's not wrong, Terren, have you
ever heard maybe Bo can?

Speaker 2 (01:26:01):
I now both not to I'm not I'm not making
light of it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
Bo had a stuttering problem, so he had problems public speech.
Maybe maybe rapping because some you know, sometimes guys have
those like things and then they sing or they rap
or whatever and.

Speaker 2 (01:26:21):
It goes away.

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
Yeah. I know a rapper personally who had that problem.

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
So maybe Bo could rap, but there would be obstacles
to that. And I think if Bo could rap, we
would have heard, especially after he got called out by
five phone, like that song was.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
A pretty big deal.

Speaker 1 (01:26:41):
He definitely heard the first, you know, three bars of
that song at some point in time, somebody played it
for him.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
I think if he could rap, he would, you know,
it's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:26:53):
Like, I've been so busy the past ten days or so,
I really haven't been able to like get into the
World Cup as like, uh, like somebody that's like sitting
down and watching the matches, right, I just haven't had time.
Summers summer's almost more busy than than during the football

(01:27:17):
and basketball seasons, almost not quite but different.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
But you've got.

Speaker 1 (01:27:24):
Messy that scored five goals in two games France now
on the on the turf. I'm not going to call
it a pitch, Tarren, That's not a phrase we use
in America.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
I'm not going to call it a pitch. Can't do it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:43):
But uh and Bape has now scored multiple goals in
the World Cup as well. He just he just put
one in the back of the net, an awesome strike
from the top of the box and uh one nothing
France over Iraq thirty minutes in.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
Very well.

Speaker 3 (01:28:05):
Christino Ronaldo man, but he's.

Speaker 2 (01:28:07):
Like he's.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
He's not Rinaldo anymore. He's a backup. I don't even
think he's starting for Argentina anymore or Portugal. He plays
for Portugal, Yeah, Portugal. I don't think, you know, I
think that's different. I think he's he's more on the downside.
I guess everybody thought Messi would be on the downside

(01:28:30):
at thirty eight, as somebody. I saw a clip last
week when he got the hat trick of somebody after
like the twenty eighteen World Cup, as he was coming
off saying like this could be it for Messi, this
could be the last World Cup appearance for Lineel Messi

(01:28:51):
and two thousand and eight eight years later he's got
five goals in two games. But I think it's awesome.
The Olympics, same deal, Like when you knew everybody was
watching the Summer Olympics to see what he's saying Bolt
would do, and then Bolt would go out and run,

(01:29:12):
you know, the fastest time in the world in like
the semi final, and you're like, oh my god, it
may It gives the event that much more substance to
see a guy like you know, Messi or Imbape or whoever.

Speaker 2 (01:29:30):
The guy for England.

Speaker 1 (01:29:31):
I think I can't remember his name, but I believe
he had multiple goals in their first match. Like the
biggest stars in the world standing up on the biggest stage.
That makes it even even better. And I love when
people come at you on the internet and then you
try to have some fun back with them and they

(01:29:53):
get they get their feelings. Hurt Uk is great as
mad at me now because on Twitter he called me
Monday morning quarterbacking. I think that's an insult. It wasn't
Monday morning quarterbacking Schwarber over Suarez. I'm saying, if you're
a team that's serious about winning, you don't pull the

(01:30:19):
stunt that the Reds pulled with Kyle Schwarber.

Speaker 2 (01:30:21):
That's what it was. It was a stunt.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
Let's call it what it is. They were never trying
to get Kyle Schwarber, not with that deal that they offered.
They tried to make it sound like, Oh, Schwarber's a
hometown guy, He's willing to take a discount. Nobody in

(01:30:45):
their right mind is taking the discount that the Reds
offered Kyle Schwarber. They weren't serious. If they were serious,
I could take them more serious as a team that's
trying to win the World Series. But they're not, and
instead they get Suarez, who is not Kyle Schwarber, at

(01:31:10):
least not at this stage in his career. I'd take
a break more after this. Since Ivy's ESPN thirteen.

Speaker 5 (01:31:19):
Thirty, Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty. Traffic from the series.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
Just waking up Ben the morning.

Speaker 9 (01:31:38):
Gotta thank god.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
I don't know, but today seems kind of odd.

Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
No bucket from the.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
Talk, no small down the stretch we go.

Speaker 7 (01:31:47):
No, I.

Speaker 2 (01:31:50):
Didn't need guests on a Monday. There's a lot to
talk about on a Monday.

Speaker 7 (01:31:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
Correct, NBA Draft tomorrow, Maybe do some draft preview.

Speaker 1 (01:31:58):
Little draft preview tomorrow. Where do you think, Bob are they?
They're not still doing this two nights?

Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
Are they? Yep? Tomorrow and the winter.

Speaker 1 (01:32:07):
It's the dumbest thing ever. Nobody cares about the second
round of the NBA Draft. I know that's funny to say.
I was about to bring up Bob on Miller. Who's
gonna be drafted in the second round of the NBA draft.
It does not hold the juice that like the second
and third round in the in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (01:32:24):
Do I agree? One thousand?

Speaker 2 (01:32:27):
Why can't we just get the second round tomorrow night?

Speaker 3 (01:32:32):
Money money, money, money.

Speaker 1 (01:32:34):
Yeah, but who's watching Wednesday? That's what I want to know.
Who is like, oh man, you know what. I was
gonna go have dinner with the wife on Wednesday night,
But the second round of the NBA Draft is on.

(01:32:57):
I don't think anybody's gonna do that. Do you think
there's any chance Bob a sneaks into the first round.
I've seen some places have him as high as thirty
four six', eleven can, rebound can really, pass can play
some point. Forward questions on his. Shooting didn't shoot it

(01:33:20):
Well cincinnati did AT fau the year before second, round
probably second. Round i'd love to see him go up
into the first. Though was a great. Kid i'm afraid
Bob o is not gonna get the love long term

(01:33:42):
FROM uc fans just because he was only here a
year and it wasn't a year that that they did enough.
Winning they weren't bad by any stretch of the. Imagination
they just they weren't as good as they needed to.
Be but to do what he did in The big
twelve on a team that was limited is one of

(01:34:04):
the better individual seasons in my twenty years of doing.
This looking forward to Seeing. BABA i have his name,
CALLED i guess probably On. Wednesday would love to see
it happen in the first round. Tomorrow i've got some
scouting friends around THE nba That i've gotten to know
over the, years and those guys all really really liked

(01:34:28):
what they saw From baba At cincinnati last. YEAR a
couple of transactions for The. Reds Pierce johnson returns activated
from the fifteen day disabled lists injured. Lists whatever old
habits are hard to, break sometimes they need a veteran

(01:34:51):
guy that's available in those six, important six seventh inning
roles to get. Out Pierce johnson can do. That he
was pitching pretty well when he got. Injured hopefully he
can step right back in and pick it. Up also
cool Story Julian garcia right hand or called up From

(01:35:12):
louisville his first trip to the, show thirty one years,
old twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:35:19):
Three he gave up baseball. Tearan he took a break like,
relationships right, like if you take a, break it's.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
Over, hey don't Did don't tell me we're taking a
break Because i'm.

Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
Gone Right like in college when people are Like i'm
taking a gap, Year i'm taking a. Break those people
don't go back to college. Ever you get a, job
you start, Adulting like you, know there's not a lot of.
Guys you take a break from baseball and you come.

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
Back but he took a break in twenty twenty, three
spend twenty twenty four and twenty twenty, five and the
independent leagues think like The Florence yalls.

Speaker 9 (01:36:02):
And now.

Speaker 1 (01:36:04):
Called up to The Cincinnati. Retz that's pretty. Cool hopefully
he can get people out and help this bull. Pit
that will be even. Cooler. Uh the triple option to
TRIPLE A Zach Zach maxwell AND Dfa Chris, paddock WHO
i guess that's probably gonna Be Chase petty's, role that

(01:36:25):
long reliever guy that can you, know if you get
a starter knocked out, early can get you through a
couple of. Innings so good luck To Chris. Paddock, uh
he ate some innings a couple of nights, ago and that's.

Speaker 2 (01:36:40):
It you hate. That that's like a how bad of a?

Speaker 3 (01:36:42):
Sign that? Is, Right?

Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
Tarren you come in and eat five six innings in
a game like you're probably Going You're you're not gonna
you can't pitch for like a, week so the team's
probably gonna have to do something else in the. MEANTIME
i might have some thoughts on that. Later i've got
a little bit more research to do on why the

(01:37:06):
bullpen is in such a state of. Flux amelia pegan
through some batting. Practice it sounds like today they are
hopefully going to get him out on a rehab assignment
and get him back with the big league club here.
Soon some may argue that's not a good. Thing i'd
like to see what he looks like with the hamstring

(01:37:26):
not bothering. Him they did that guy at, disservice And
i'm sure some of it was him not wanting to
go on the injured, list but he was hurt and
tried to pitch through it and it didn't. Work i'm
interested to at least give him a chance to see
what it looks like when he comes. Back, Uh Savannah, Bananas.

(01:37:52):
TARN i find the outrage over The savannah bananas, LIKE
i don't know if it's outrage or just, LIKE i
don't think people get. IT i don't think of it like, This.
TARREN i know that like The harlem Glob, yeah it's
the baseball version Of Harlem. Globetrotters did you go watch
The globetrotters when you were a?

Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
KID i went.

Speaker 1 (01:38:14):
Once that wasn't, basketball, Right, like if you're a basketball,
purist that wasn't. Basketball but it wasn't designed to be
generally designed for the younger, generation a younger, crowd. Right

(01:38:34):
never gone to see a game. LIVE i don't own
Any i'm Not John. JOHN i don't own Any Savannah banana.
Gear but time limit two. Hours the game's not over
in two. Hours they make sure it gets like that
half that inning and once that inning, ends that's. It
so if you're taking, KIDS i remember trying to Take

(01:38:55):
kelsey To red's games when she was.

Speaker 2 (01:38:56):
Little it was a.

Speaker 1 (01:38:58):
Nightmare it was even worse once she figured out that
there was like a playground there no, desire like didn't
why Would why would a four year old care about
watching the baseball, game especially when they know there's a
really cool playground thirty feet that. WAY i don't want
to go. PLAY i, mean it's all right if you're,

(01:39:21):
four rack your standards are low at that. Point you
haven't been to many great playgrounds at four to make.

like we used to Think Pizza hut was good. Pizza
that's because there were really no mom and momma mom

Age So Pizza hut was good pizza because that was
the best pizza we.

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
Ate but any, like it's something, different it's something, entertaining
it's something for the. Family the kids get caught up in,
it they have a good. TIME i don't get the
angst over, it even if it's not for. Me it's
clearly for a lot of people go watch it and have.
FUN i don't have to like. It it's like Digging
