3 Things: Cincinnati Red Chase Burns is the Fifth Italian-Born Pitcher in MLB History

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Lynn. You need to know she's got you. It's three
things with tiff On Kiss when I was seven. One
uh Cincinnati and its bridges. I should say northern Kentucky
as well. We'll get to that in a hot second.
We're just before eight o'clock on this hot Wednesday. Another
hot one, yes here has one hundred degrees. Today is

(00:22):
going to be very similar. Heat wave is supposed to
break later tonight, but it won't give us much relief
over the next couple of days. No complaints for me,
is what it is. Coming up at eight thirty. I'm
gonna stamp here since the summer passport with Land of
Illusion passes, so that should help with the heat. Don't
go far all right, Before we get to the bridges,
let's start off with Great American Ballpark last night. A
very big congratulations to Chase Burns making his MLB debut

(00:46):
on three to two one night against the Yankees last night,
throwing for five innings, striking out eight batters, and allowing
three runs. New from the team. He was drafted by
the Reds number two over all last year and just
very very quickly made his way through the minor leagues
on right on up to Cincinnati. Wade Miley's injured, Hunter

(01:09):
Green's insure injured, and I'm wondering if this will be
you know, like Iff he'll stay, you know, like he
must be so excited, right. I remember watching the videos
of Ellie de la Cruz getting called up and those
are really sweet. So I hope to kind of come
across some of those as well. For Burns. By the way,
if you didn't know this, he was born in Naples, Italy,
which makes him the fifth Italian born pitcher in MLB history,

(01:33):
and the first one since nineteen fifty. Right here in Cincinnati,
Baby Reds our home for the rest of the week,
if I'm correct. I know they're home on Friday because
of Tyler the creators here as well. Yeah, we'll play
the Yankees today at seven to ten, and then we
move into a series with the Padre. So Reds are home.
Go ahead, get a ticket, all right. Second, and three

(01:55):
things you need to know this morning. We've got some
official plans now for the Licking River Bridge. There. Fourth
Street bridge, also known as connecting Covington to Newport, will
be closed starting in January as they're getting ready to
demolish the bridge. This next coming year. I'm thinking about it.

(02:15):
It's just I know, I know, there's the whole Brent
Spence Bridge restruction, you know, restoration project or a new
one coming is just and maybe I just am trigger
warning right from the all the bridge incidents we've had
in the last couple of years. I'm like, no, don't
take away one that's working. It's estimated to begin in

(02:35):
January twenty twenty six. Spring is when the new one
will start to go up. It'll take two to two
and a half years, with bridge opening to traffic in
the summer of twenty twenty eight, which is bizarre to
think about, but then when you do end up thinking
about it, it's just like, don't blink because it will
be there before you know it. Lastly, in three Things
you Need to Know this morning, Travis Kelcey kicked off

(02:57):
tight End University, something I newly learned about. It's in Nashville,
and with that, he did a concert with Caane Brown
and at Taylor Swift jumped up on stage with Kine
and they performed together. I don't have any audio for you,
but I know you'll start to see those clips circulating
this morning as we are not far off from football
season starting especially here in Cincy. We talked about how

(03:20):
Joe Burrow is the main character of the second season
of Quarterback on Netflix. He's like front and center on
all of it. Comes out July eighth. That is three
things you need to know over the twenty fifth of June.
I'd mentioned it, but one more time for those in
the back, I'm going to stand your Sincy summer passport
with Land of Illusion passes at eight point thirty. Do
not go far. Good morning,
