Symptoms of this include headaches, watery and painful eyes, sensitivity to bright light,

0:05

blurry or distorted vision, the occurrence of new blind spots, and a

0:09

difficulty to differentiate between colors. The harm division can be temporary, and swelling

0:14

in the eye may go down, but the damage can be permanent. Sunday

0:25

afternoons stirling stepping in alex Egan producing any Gleason, roaming around trying to make

0:32

sense of well, how to stare at the sun tomorrow and totality in the

0:36

tri State, the Miami Valley, the Bluegrass parts of Indiana southwest. That

0:42

sun and moon interaction a celestial happening for millions and millions of people, cutting

0:49

a swath across the United States from our northeast to the southwest. I have

0:53

friends in Texas very excited, millions expected to make their way to the path

0:59

of shade. Well, a universal three hundred and sixty degree sunset in full

1:07

totality, and you're not supposed to stare at the sun without a number twelve

1:11

welding shield, which by the way, is hard to find and may cost

1:15

you like an arm, a leg, a kidney, or a testicle.

1:17

They're not cheap. Is what I'm trying to tell you? How you doing?

1:19

Sterling stepping in Sunday afternoon, Reds Baseball later looking to make it the

1:25

third series win of this very young twenty twenty four season. Coming up a

1:30

little bit later, The inside Pitch gets you ready for Reds and Mechs first

1:34

pitch one p forty coming up after the twelve thirty report Santa Collins with News.

1:40

In about twenty minutes or so, we'll get you ready for Reds Baseball.

1:44

Should be a good one. I have to ask you at this point,

1:48

are you prepared? Do you have a plan if you are working tomorrow?

1:53

Are you getting time off, taking a break, planning to look up

1:57

into the sky with those special glasses not knockoff glasses you bought online that you're

2:01

not if you look through what do you want to call them? I guess

2:07

I protectors. They look like three D glasses. They are definitely not that.

2:12

If they are the right kind, then you will not be able to

2:15

see much of anything while wearing those. I mean, like mostly nothing unless

2:21

you're looking directly at like an old school incandescent light bulb or maybe the sun

2:25

itself, and you're not really supposed to do that much at all. I

2:30

had a kid when I was in EJ. Brown Elementary School, Derek Scales.

2:34

That kid randomly would just stare at the sun. And I remember there

2:38

was an eclipse when we were in kindergarten, Miss lugummules class. We had

2:43

these little pin holes looked like sort of like a pinhole camera thing, but

2:46

it was a way to reflect that eclipse that happened. They brought us all

2:50

outside, which now I think a bunch of five and six year old kids.

2:53

We didn't even have glasses. I don't know what they were thinking. They had all these boxes. Some parents showed up. It was like that

2:59

scene from mad Men, but not as cool with the teacher because Miss Lugummuele

3:01

was about two hundred and eighty six years old at least my five year old

3:05

sterling mind. And we would look into the box which had a piece of

3:09

paper which show the reflection, which is nothing like the technology we have today

3:15

available is what it's going to look like. I'm curious if you run a

3:19

business, if you're working tomorrow, are you going to give your staff time

3:23

to take a look and gaze into the sky or in today's world, are

3:27

you fearful that there might be some liability issues if for some reason you say,

3:30

hey, yeah, go ahead take a look outside, and then they

3:34

say, well he let us out or she let us out, and say

3:37

we could look at the sun and now our eyes burn out of our skull. Then what And here is one little bit of audio for you to check

3:46

out. I'm not sure which the one this is. There's a friend of

3:50

mine in New York who sent me some audio going back to twenty seventeen when

3:55

we had something like this going on, but it wasn't quite as spectacle.

4:00

Is what we'll see in the Trice day. Check this out. In nineteen seventy nine, Chris Reese of Winfield was in fifth grade when his class watched

4:05

an eclipse. He says his teacher told him not to look directly at it,

4:10

but he didn't listen. But I decided I would just close my left

4:14

eye and just look up at the sun. And I could see it happening that way, and I was just I thought everything was fine. But over

4:20

you know, the next couple of days, I started noticing, you know,

4:24

something wasn't right with my eye. A trip to an eye doctor confirmed

4:28

Reese had burned a hole in his retina. He says, this is what

4:30

he sees in his right eye now, a great spot obscuring his vision.

4:35

Says his mother was not happy. She just looked him and said, you

4:40

dummy, you dummy. It was just kind of a lesson learned, a

4:44

permanent lesson learned. It can be a lifelong consequence. And of that's right

4:47

now. When an eclipse is on the horizon, reesekes to spread the word

4:51

about the importance of safely viewing the event. He says he wouldn't want anyone

4:56

to miss it, but he also wouldn't want anyone to make the mistake.

5:00

I'll be out working Monday, but I'll stop. I'll stop and look,

5:03

and I'll use the glasses. That's a good idea. Using the glasses is

5:08

a good idea. I got a couple of pairs from the museum. They

5:11

were like two bucks each. I know they are a bunch of them online.

5:13

I got a neighbor of mine. It'll be like Eddie and Rocky. They're doing the show tomorrow afternoon in full totality or damn near it anyway.

5:20

In and after Eddie and Rocky at Rocky's house in the driveway I don't know

5:25

if he's actually they talked about selling parking spots. I have a neighbor who

5:29

he comes to me. It was it yesterday or Friday. I'm walking the

5:31

dog as I often do because he's got to go and we're out there and

5:35

he's like, hey, Sterling going to be around. I'm like, yeah,

5:38

I'll be around working. And he's like, dude, I got some

5:41

cones we can sell or rent the parking spots on the street in front of

5:45

our houses. I'm like, I don't think you can legally do that. He says, what are they gonna do. They're gonna be busy with the

5:48

eclipse. I'm like, seriously. He goes yeah, and he says we're

5:51

krelling. I got ribs, and I guess he's got some chicken and stuff.

5:55

So I don't know if he's planning on selling that to the masses,

5:58

if they're making a pilgrimage to our part of the world in the midst of

6:02

the spectacular happening, if you will, a celestial event is what it is.

6:09

I've just I got to remind myself even with the glasses that I know

6:12

are the right ones and not knockoffs, which you got to make sure they're

6:15

not knockoffs. There's numbers on there which you'll hear again in the news what

6:19

you have to look for. And if you can see through them, they're

6:24

not good that much, I know, because you shouldn't be able to see

6:28

them and unless effectively like you're staring at the sun, and even then it's

6:30

not going to be real bright, if you know what I'm saying. I'm

6:33

just trying to look out for you and all the preparation. Governor Dwane you

6:38

have heard, has put the National Guard on standby. They will be ready

6:43

in case. I guess the worst happens, or traffic turns into more of

6:46

a nightmare than is expected. And I guess the other thing that goes along

6:51

with this is the concern in the worry. Whether it's the State Patrol,

6:57

whether it's Cincinnati Police, I'm Norwood, whatever it is. Pick one someplace

7:01

from here, you know, all the way down to the southwest up north.

7:05

I think Piqua, Zenia, Troy Tips City parts further on. I

7:12

have friends in New Hampshire and Vermont. There's a place in Vermont that's a

7:15

skier resort this time of year. They have nine hundred rooms, most of

7:18

which is sit empty because not as much snow is hanging around here as we

7:24

are now into April. But they are sold out tonight at five hundred dollars

7:30

a night, nine hundred rooms tomorrow about half full. Apparently normally, I'm

7:36

told they're lucky to have maybe eighty to one hundred rooms of the nine hundred

7:42

that are actually full. That's a lot of people. And they'll be here

7:46

in the Tri State, in the Miami Valley, in and around as well.

7:49

And you just hope they don't stop in the middle of like seventy one

7:53

or two seventy five. Speaking of which, Kathleen Fuller conversation I had with

7:58

her, You go, who is that. That's the information officer. She

8:03

knows what's up, and she's from ODOT, Ohio Department of Transportation, Cincinnati.

8:07

On the other side, we'll hear their plan for the eclipse. If

8:11

you've seen the overhead signs, it says prepare tomorrow. It's here. We'll

8:16

get dirt on that in just a couple moments. Hang out more Sterling before

8:18

Red's baseball on a beautiful Sunday afternoon for it here in the Tri State on

8:24

the Nation Station seven hundred WLW the Great North American Total Solar Eclipse. What

8:31

will you do during our three minutes of daytime darkness. I'm gonna see if

8:35

that evil clown comes out from under my bed again and beat him with a shoe if he does. Now you're talking, I'm gonna put on my glow

8:41

in the Dark lingerie and give my husband a light show. I'm sure he'll

8:43

give you a standing ovation. You better. The eclipse is coming, so

8:48

I'm gonna take a power nap and dream about Washingville Cunningham's hair. Hey,

8:52

that's what I'm gonna do. We're helping you make the most of it. On seven hundred W l JEW with cost great day for baseball, down a

9:00

gabp and on the Big one twelve forty we'll get into the inside pitch,

9:03

first pitch one seventy six Tomorrow, a little bit of suntime. They say,

9:09

partly cloudy. But I'm an optimist, but I think I'm contractually obligated

9:11

to read. The forecast has written Monday, partly cloudy, seventy six,

9:15

sixty six showers Tuesday. Right now, it's already a ball ME fifty eighth

9:18

or severe Weather Station seven hundred WLW Glad you're long. Talk to Kathleen Fuller

9:24

from Ohio Department of Transportation, Cincinnati Division. I think it's eight. If

9:30

I'm not mistaken. They haven't counted down in numbers that it matters, but

9:33

you know, for like filing purposes, I suppose either way. I asked

9:37

her about the eclipse and the plan, And if you're driving around right now

9:41

on the way to the ballgame or wherever else after church, whatever you got

9:45

going on, it's beautiful Sunday, you may see those overhead signs that normally

9:48

tell you about like crashes and redirecting your traffic and buckling up or whatever else

9:54

they're telling you. Get a plan for the eclipse. They have one.

9:58

Here's what she had to say about what they're going to keep us all safe.

10:01

So we have been actually talking about this for two years now. We've

10:03

been actually planted been under the way underway for us because you know, there's

10:07

a lot that has to go into it. You know, we have to

10:09

think about construction projects and like making sure that planned notes are in there for

10:15

the contractors. Also, are the permits with the utility company that we issue

10:18

that there are planned notes saying you cannot be doing you know, some of

10:22

the work that you're doing. You need to make sure you do not have

10:24

any restrictions in place. Obviously, you know the norwoodlateral, it's going to

10:28

be closed. We know that that would not pertain to this. But we've

10:33

been talking about this for two years now and one of the things, Yes,

10:35

we are concerned about motor of safety. We know there's going to be

10:39

a significant impact to traffic. We know they're going to I mean, I

10:43

don't even know what the last count at the number of people that they're anticipating

10:46

coming to Ohio, you know, people from out of state that are traveling

10:50

in. So we know that there's going to be a tremendous amount of traffic,

10:54

and we do have concerns about people just stopping on a roadway watch the

11:00

eclipse, and that we do not want them to do. We want people

11:03

to we want traffic just to keep moving. We don't want anyone to stop

11:05

because of course that would be incredibly dangerous. But yeah, we're we're we've

11:09

been taking a long, hard look at this and we do have some plans

11:13

in place for operations as far as what we're going to be doing leading up

11:16

to it and during the time of the eclipse. How weird would it be.

11:20

I can just see like the photos you remember, all the old pictures

11:24

of the nuclear test out around, like say the Nevada Desert in Las Vegas,

11:28

where people leave the casino, have a cocktail and just look up into

11:31

the sky and watch the mushroom cloud. For some reason, I just see

11:35

people sort of like during you know, the Western and Southern WEBN fireworks where

11:39

they're like, please don't stop on you know, seventy five and seventy one

11:43

or whatever it is, and then have people just g you know, gazing

11:48

up into the scars, stars or the fireworks in that case. Here looking

11:50

at the sun, I just see people with like you know, the three

11:54

D looking glasses to protect their eyes hopefully the right glasses or welder's massn't mask,

12:01

you know, just gazing upward and then not be stuck behind these freaks.

12:05

I mean, you know, you got to pick your spots in life, That's all I'm saying. Right and we we we are hoping that because

12:11

people want to see this and want to watch it, they've already have their

12:15

plans in place, whether they're traveling to a particular part. I don't know

12:20

a parking lot, I don't know where it would be. Whatever their plans

12:22

are, that they stick to their plans. Get there in advance, get

12:26

there early, plan to stay late. You know, you're you're If you

12:31

get back on the road after this is over, it's just going to be

12:33

a bottle necks of traffic. But while it's going on during that that where

12:37

it comes into Ohio during the afternoon on the eighth, the people already have

12:41

their plans in place and that they basically stay put. And like I said,

12:45

get there early, and not to be traveling. If you are planning

12:48

to be a spectator and you want to watch this, don't be on the

12:52

road driving while it's happening. I can't. We can't stress that enough because

12:56

it's going to be really dangerous for people who are just you know, just

13:00

oh, I'm going to look up at the eclipse. It's cool, and they're driving along the road and just happen to stop because the person behind them

13:05

may not happen to stop. And you got to remember that you cannot there's

13:09

no predictability about what anybody's going to do on a roadway at any given time.

13:13

And this is one of those occasions where you know it's happening to prepare,

13:16

plan ahead. It's a different kind of distracted driving. I guess we're

13:20

talking about Kathleen Fuller. Thank you as always, the PIO public Information Officer.

13:26

I love the acronyms from ODOTT Ohio Department of Transportation here in Cincinnati.

13:30

All right, more sterling coming back seven hundred ww So there you go.

13:33

That was a conversation I had with her the other day talking about issues with

13:37

the eclipse tomorrow, excuse me, which we're all going to get to experience.

13:41

Last night, I f C Cincinnati took one on the chin. They

13:45

fell two to one to the New York Red Bulls. I think now they

13:48

are twelve points in the East and the New York Red Bulls leading with the

13:52

fourteen. If I'm not mistaken, next one up for them. They'll be

13:56

on the road next Saturday night at Montreal. What else is going on?

14:00

Women's National College Basketball Championship Iowa Caitlin, of course, and South Carolina.

14:07

Iowa and South Carolina getting on three o'clock tip off. I think, if

14:11

I'm not mistaken, that's ESPN fifteen thirty. Yeah, likee Hen says,

14:15

Yes, I'm right. Once in a while I do get it right. And the Meds Final going to be Purdue in yukon Monday night with a nine

14:22

to twenty tip off, so that there is that as well, so that

14:26

to look forward to. Yesterday was the Jake Frayley bobblehead and today I believe

14:33

it's Matt McClain's bobblehead giveaway at the Reds game. So that's kind of nice

14:37

to be able to get those a lot of ground to cover during the inside

14:41

pitch, we will talk about Ellie de la Cruz and to his streak of

14:46

hitting safely in this very young season. So much more ground to cover to

14:50

get you ready for Reds and Mets as they look to make another a winning

14:54

series for this young season at this point. But they got business to take

14:58

care of the afternoon in relation to that, and we'll get you ready for

15:01

it coming up after your twelve thirty report. Whatever happens tomorrow, the sun

15:07

we'll come up, the moon will cut in front of it, just like

15:11

somebody cut in front of you in traffic. It'll take about three minutes or

15:15

so in totality from front to back in our area and then it'll lighten up

15:20

again. And the experience that I'm waiting for. And I did not see

15:24

this in twenty seventeen because here we didn't get all of it. It was

15:30

really I thought, not that big of a deal last time around. I

15:33

mean, it got dark like a storm and then it was over. Other

15:35

places saw it much better. In Illinois they had this thing called I think

15:41

it was Moonfest or something like that. Osborne was on tour at the time

15:46

and healthy. He's had some health issues subsequently. But what he did is

15:52

bark at the moon during the actual eclipse. Is it was come into totality,

15:56

which was pretty amazing. I've seen real yeah, bunch of videos on

16:00

that too which people had sent me as well as that are just floating around.

16:03

So that's something to look forward to tomorrow. Which you could see there.

16:07

In some of that is that three sixty sunset vibe, not looking at

16:12

the sun but all the way around our horizon. So that in itself,

16:17

I think is going to be worth the price of admission. And just wear

16:21

the right glasses or don't look up, make one of those pinhole deals.

16:23

There's time to get information. It's all on the interweb. Don't you know

16:27

all right? Twelve thirty reports straight away Sandy Collins sterling coming back on the

21:07

a beautiful Sunday afternoon for baseball. The eve of celestial happening tomorrow with the

21:15

full on eclipse in the Tri State. It's Reds and Mets getting at it.

21:18

The Reds looking to make it a third series in a row with a

21:25

nodded up a game apiece, Reds and Mets. Red's one last night,

21:30

that's one Friday. I'm fine. All of a sudden, I have a brain cramp. I'll get through it. Let's check today's starting pitchers. It's

21:36

brought to you by Western Southern Financial Group, helping to make Cincinnati the best

21:40

place to live, work, and enjoy life, and by Richter and Phillips

21:42

Cincinnati's best place to buy your engagement ring. A couple left handers getting it

21:47

on at Great American Ballpark and on the big One this afternoon with the one

21:51

forty first pitch. Sean Manaia. He's a lefty for the Mets. He's

21:55

had one appearance so far this season. He pitched six innings, struck out

22:00

eight with a point five whip to this point. He is a Valpraiso,

22:03

Indiana native, so he's kind of close to home, but not so much

22:07

a Great American ball Park. Andrew Abbott on the Hill for the Reds out

22:11

of Lynchburg, Virginia. Of course, he's also a lefty. One appearance

22:14

so far. With a three to three eight e er. He pitched five

22:18

and a third inning struck out four with a point nine to four whips.

22:21

So it should be a good matchup. And I have today's starting lineups.

22:25

If you'd like to know who's playing where, I'll let you know right about

22:27

now. I think it's a good time. Leading off for the Reds and

22:32

designated hitting today Jonathan India Spencer steer Man. How good is that guy?

22:38

He'll hit second and play left field this afternoon. Hitting third, Playing first,

22:44

it's Christian Incarnacion strand Cees for those who like the acronym. In the

22:49

cleanup spot, it's Jamer Kendelario. He'll play third and to hitting fifth.

22:55

Stuart Fairchild's gonna be and right. Ellie de la Cruz looking to keep that

23:00

hitting streak alive. I'm afraid to say that out loud. He's been going

23:03

through well, some growing pains and getting a little bit of heat on the

23:07

way he handles himself, but seemingly finding himself at the same time. You

23:11

got to remember he is not exactly all that old when you think about it.

23:15

He'll be at short and hitting sixth. More on him in a bit.

23:18

Santiago Espinall' is gonna hit seventh. He'll play second base. Luke Mayley's

23:25

behind the plate, he'll catch and hit eighth, and Bubba Thompson's in center

23:30

hitting ninth. So that's India, Steer, Incarnacion, Strand, Candelario,

23:34

Fairchild, de la Cruz, espinall Melee, and Thompson. For the Mets,

23:40

it's Brandon Nemo. He'll play left and hit first. Francisco Lindor's hitting

23:44

second. He'll be at shortstop. Pete Alonzo, big guy, gonna be

23:48

at first, hitting third. Francisco Alvarez is behind the plate, hitting cleanup.

23:53

Brett Batty he'll be at third, hitting fifth. Starling Mark Tay,

23:57

not Sterling. I keep randomly getting emails. Is it usually related to you

24:02

know? The last name's Marte. My name's Sterling, and he's Starling hitting

24:07

six. Mister Marte in the DH this afternoon. Tyrone Taylor's in right field.

24:12

He'll hit seven for the Mets. Jeff McNeil's at second, he'll hit

24:18

eighth, and Harrison Bader former Reds in centerfield and he will hit ninth.

24:22

This afternoon looks to be a great day for baseball. Reds looking to make

24:26

it two of three from the Mets. They've taken the first two series of

24:32

this very young season, and to look to do it again this afternoon,

24:36

and they seemingly are never out of it. It's one of the most spectacular

24:41

things that I got real used to and I know I'm not alone in this

24:44

last season where they if I'm not mistaken, I'm not like Lance. I

24:48

don't have an encyclopedic memory of everything, but I am pretty sure they led

24:53

the majors or were in the top tier of Major League ball clubs and come

24:59

from behind when and this year they seemingly are doing it again. It'd be

25:03

nice if they could get ahead, stay ahead and just breathe easy. But

25:07

it keeps us on our edge of our seats, listening to the radio and

25:11

at the ballparks, staying longer, eating some food and having some beverages because

25:15

you expect them to find a way because they just keep working. Coming up,

25:18

we'll take a look at big sticks in the big leagues. We'll also

25:22

take a look at today's schedule around Major League Baseball. Who's hot in the

25:26

big leagues with some Cincinnati Reds of heart of that, and so much more,

25:30

And again this season for every run batted in by Cincinnati's cleanup hitters.

pitch Rags and Mets getting it on, Andrew Rabbit on the hill for the

26:37

Reds. Sean and Yah's both these guys left handers, and it should be

26:41

a good one. And last night I actually talked to Gordon Wittenmeyer after a

26:47

spectacular come from behind Reds when they just do it seemingly, it's just in

26:52

them, it's their nature, it's their character in this. I'm trying to

26:56

which cut is this now? I'm sorry, Oh. I talked about how

27:00

this team and I talked about it for the last couple of years actually in

27:04

the game of baseball has seemingly come around to where it used to be in

27:08

some fashion. I don't know why or how whatever else, but it's about

27:11

manufacturing runs and not just waiting for the long ball to happen on over and

27:18

getting them in. It's exciting. Here's with a Gordon Wittenmeyer from The Inquirer

27:22

had to say about those Reds and manufacturing runs last night with me on the

27:25

big one. It's built for it. I mean it's like literally built for

27:29

it. When they tore it down to the studs and went to acquire more

27:33

young players. Nick Kross says, we definitely wanted to be more athletic.

27:37

That was something that they weren't in recent years, and it just so happened

27:42

the new rules were coming in. He said. We didn't do it just

27:45

because the new rules were coming in, although we knew the new rules were

27:48

coming in. So they had Ellie Daala Cruz in the system. They had

27:53

drafted Matt McClean at that point, and they brought Stuart Fairchild back into the

27:59

organization, and then a lot of these other trades included guys like Spencer Steer,

28:04

Noelvie Martuez who we know is on is out with ped Sis mentioned but

28:10

they got younger and more athletic and mass at the exact right time when that

28:15

was going to pay off. A team would be rewarded for that. We

28:18

saw that with the Arizona Diamondbacks going all the way to the World Series last

28:22

year with a very young, fast athletic team. A team like the Baltimore

28:26

Orioles very young and they've got a lot of guys that can run team that's

28:30

coming to town next. The Brewers have some of those guys. So this

28:34

is something that is around the game in general now. And the Reds are

28:42

right there at the forefront for sure. There you go. Gordon Wittenmeier from

28:47

the Cincinnati Inquirer Cincinnati dot Com talking about these Reds and how they are built

28:51

to manufacture runs. Time to check game notes for today's games, brought to

28:55

you by the Basement Doctor of Cincinnati for all things Basemently local and family owned

29:00

29:06

Reds team looking to take their third series of a very young twenty twenty four

29:10

season, looking to make it two of three against the Mets this afternoon,

29:14

which would not exactly be a bad way to go. Sitting right now at

29:18

five and three. It is a very competitive in El Central and some surprising

29:23

teams last year seemingly sticking around and finding a way to be better at least

29:29

early on and continuing to win. So winning obviously, well it's always very

29:33

important, and something else going on. Ellie de la Cruz, love him,

29:38

hate him, get frustrated by him, whatever else you can say.

29:41

One thing, he is finding his way seemingly at the plate, and he

29:45

is looking now to make it nine games. He's gone through eight hitting safely.

29:51

Today would be the ninth and that would be a nice way for him

29:55

to just sort of keep it going and moving ahead in that development, which

29:57

is nice and I think that qualified his game notes for today. Brought to

The Rangers right fielder Adulas Garcia has four. Tescr Hernandez right fielder for the

30:40

Dodgers. Also, they got some heavy hitters. He's had four dingers so

30:42

far. The Red Sox Tyler O'Neil also has four, and not too far

30:48

down the list, you got some other guys like Spencer Steer who's already had

30:53

three go deep and last night was another example of that too, which is

30:59

kind of not looking at runs batted in. That's a part of it too.

31:02

It's not just a long ball Tescar Hernandez as fourteen runs batted in so

31:07

far. Spencer Steer in a second in the major leagues right now with twelve

31:14

ribis, and he's of course out there looking to do it this afternoon.

37:00

out, it's more Sterling coming back on the RNL Carriers Inside Pitch on seven

37:04

hundred WLW one check swing, little tapper left side that's gonna bleed through and

37:10

roll in the left a rental store Frailey on his way to third and it's

37:15

a thirteen game hitting streak on a check swing, game tying RBI single by

37:22

Eli Da La Cruz. There's that eighty percent rule and that's eight today,

37:27

would be nine for twenty twenty four. This is the RNL Carriers Inside Pitch

37:31

part of with the family on LTL Provider at RLC dot com. You're doing

37:35

at Sterling, appreciate you being here. Great to hear Tommy Thraw of course,

37:39

Chris Welsh as well, left hander with the call. They'll be doing

37:43

it this afternoon as well, with a one to forty first pitch Reds and

37:46

Mets getting at it. Get away day for the Mets red sticking around.

37:50

Better part they got a stretch here. I think it's a better part of

37:52

two weeks without a day off, if I'm not mistaken, before they hit

37:54

the road again here in a few days. Better part of a week,

37:58

I guess, teth Nicoley, this is a conversation again from last night talking

38:01

to Gordon Wittenmeyer about these Reds and specifically Hunter Green, and the weight may

38:07

be lifted somewhat off his shoulders because of acquisitions and somebody else who might be

38:12

thought of as that number one starter for these Cincinnati Reds. I think that

38:17

I don't think that that's as big a factor. And by the way,

38:22

to answer the first part of your question, has essentially has he has he

38:27

changed? Has he found like sort of this this next step in his career?

38:31

Time will tell on that because what we saw yesterday from him we have

38:36

seen before, right so, and we've seen it sometimes for four starts at

38:40

a time, better part of a month, six weeks at a time.

38:44

And so whether he can do that for half a season and a full season

38:49

at a time. That's what time will tell. I think if there's a

38:52

weight off at all, it's that this is a year after signing the contract.

38:58

There's a I don't know what all goes into it, but a lot

39:02

of players have had rough first seasons after signing a big contract. Sometimes it's

39:10

their first big contract. Sometimes it's that huge free agent nine figure deal.

39:16

John Lester, of all people, you know, mister Clutch with the Red

39:20

Sox, signs with the Cubs for one hundred and fifty five million dollars and

39:23

has a has a rough first six weeks two months before kind of finding himself

39:30

again. Guys, it happens to guys. Sometimes they put too much pressure

39:34

on themselves. Sometimes sometimes they just kind of like, you know, it's

39:37

all theory until you sign on the bottom line, and then it's like,

39:42

holy crap, you know this is this is real and I'm that guy.

39:46

And sometimes that can play with the guy's mind. That certainly can't. The

39:51

RNL Carrier, since I pitch Sterla, you can partner with the family on

39:53

LTL Provider at RLC dot com. That's Gordon Wittenmeyer from the inquired talking about

39:58

Hunter Green and just the wake maybe on his shoulders the contract. You get

40:01

a guy in now who's looking to be the number one rather than him just

40:06

And the weird thing is is once the opening day has gone, you're just

40:09

rotating through anyway. But you know, I've not been in that situation,

40:14

And historically you hear interview after interview and guys saying that it does in fact

40:17

sort of get into their brain. So it is what it is, as

40:21

they say, let's check out today's schedule around the big leagues. It's brought

40:24

to you by Brandstetters kangaroof celebrating over twenty five years as your hometown roofing experts.

40:30

Pittsburgh Pirates. They are home at PNC Park, bar Park by the

40:36

way, beautiful look at their skyline and Pittsburgh. It's about all nice I can say about them. At this point. They're playing Great Baseball seven and

40:40

two, hosting the Orioles at five and three. Both teams last year somewhat

40:45

surprising, as were the Reds, as teams that had been sort of on

40:50

the down for some period of time, rebuilding finding their way. It looks

40:53

to be the same case today. Pirates and Oriels in Pittsburgh. Later on

40:59

Nationals hosting the Phillies. Reds have seen both Phillies at four and four,

41:02

Nationals at two and six. That's a one thirty five first pitch. Braves

41:06

at home in Atlanta, or sort of Atlanta. I think they're sort of out of town now a little bit. They are hosting the Diamondbacks five and

41:13

two, Braves four and five, d Backs getting at it. The Yankees

41:16

are home in the Bronx hosting the Blue Jays Yankees seven and two. You

41:21

kind of expect them to almost always sort of be there. Looks to be the case so far. Early on Blue Jays at four and five, Tigers

41:28

in Detroit at six and two, hosting the A's Oakland for a little while

41:32

longer just two and seven on the year so far, and soon to be

41:37

in Las Vegas once the Tropicana is imploded. They will begin next year,

41:43

early twenty twenty five. The expectation is for construction to begin on that new

41:46

bar ballpark that's going to be on the strip, which is kind of odd.

41:52

You know, Mayor it just was like, we don't want this on the strip, but you know, she didn't have any real saying it in

41:58

the end. In the meantime, I think they're also going to play at

42:00

a Tripoli Ballpark, if I'm not mistaken, in Sacramento starting next season.

42:05

But they're in Detroit, taken on the Tigers today, Royal's home at five

42:08

and four, hosting Chicago's Southsiders, the White Sox at just one in seven

42:13

this afternoon. That's a two ten first pitch in the NL Central five and

42:16

two. Brewers Reds have them next after they handle business today with the Mets

42:22

in town, Brewers home before coming to Cincinnati hosting the Mariners of Seattle.

42:28

They're at four and five, the Cardinals at five and four, nottted up

42:31

in the NL Centrals. We'll see how this shakes out over time. The

42:35

Marlins win list at this point, I don't know where the smart money goes.

42:37

They got to win at some point. Is it going to be today

42:39

in Saint Louis? It could be. That's a two fifteen first pitch.

42:44

Cubbies at five and three. Also the NL Central nodded tightly. They are

42:49

hosting the Dodgers, who are just stacked and loaded because they have all the

42:52

money that you could possibly need. But there's no guarantee they'll win, but

42:57

so far they're eight and three, so it must be working. Three to

43:00

ten. First pitch. The Rockies home in Denver, two and seven record

43:04

at this point, hosting Tampa Bay's Rays. They're four and five. That's

43:07

three ten. First pitch the Angels, Los Angeles, Anaheim, call them

43:12

what you want, five and three. They are home, hosting Boston's Red

43:15

Sox. Glad to probably be out of their home. With the cold in

43:20

the snow in southern California, probably not too bad for them. They are

43:22

six and three so far, and the Angels are five and three. Giants

43:27

are three and six. They're home in San Francisco, up north of San

43:31

Diego. Padres made the trip up the five. They're at five and six.

43:36

They'll do it at four oh five this afternoon. The Rangers home in

43:38

Arlington with a six and two record, hosting the Astros of Houston. They

43:44

are two and seven. That's Sunday Night baseball with the seven to ten.

43:47

First pitch. Twins and Guardians postponed in the Twin Cities due to inclement weather,

43:52

and they'll make that up in August. If for some reason you're concerned

43:55

about that. Let's see what else we got going on today? Scheduled around

44:00

Major League Baseball one forty first pitch, Reds and Mets right here on seven

44:04

hundred WLW. Who's hot in the big Leagus? Wow? It's hard to

44:08

answer that question, but not really. It's brought to you by Pella Windows

44:12

and Doors a greater Cincinnati Pella now pay later, and by plumb tight plumbing.

44:17

Plumb tight? Is plumbing done? Right? Can I call an audible

44:22

Alex Egan? Is it possible that we can dig up Spencer Steer in that

44:25

big stick doing what he did last night to put the Reds in front and

44:30

to finish stuff off last night on a come from behind wind, Because it

44:35

seems that's what the Reds do on a regular basis. I think that qualifies

44:37

as who's hot in the big Leagus? And when you can do the inside

44:40

pitch and eventually everyone gets a shot, then you can make the call.

44:44

And here comes the one one pitch. Steer swings high, long fly ball

44:49

deep left center field, way back. It is gone into the first row

44:54

seat to three run home run for Spencer Steer, and the Reds have the

45:00

lead, and they kept it, and they ended up with the win,

45:05

tying up this weekend series. Today they'll finish it up with the one forty

45:09

first pitch and try to make it two to three. And just a reminder,

45:14

what a beautiful day to head to the Great American Ballpark along the Ohio

45:16

downtown Cincinnati. If you are headed to today's game or pretty much any other

45:21

time that you're out and about, remember to buckle your seat belt. It's

45:24

a message from the Ohio Department of Public Safety. If you're not buckled up,

45:28

what's holding you back? Sterling with the RNL carriers inside pitch you can

45:31

partner with the family owned LTL provider at RLC dot com. What I'm curious

45:37

about, and I'll be listening this afternoon intently to Tommy Thraw and Chris Welch.

45:43

I'm curious because when I talked to Gordon went Meyer last night about what

45:46

his plan was for the eclipse, which we'll all experience tomorrow one way or

45:52

another, he said he planned to sleep late and just forget about it and

45:57

not pay attention to it, which made my brain just like I couldn't process

46:00

that because I figure tomorrow, why would he not be at the ballpark.

46:07

I mean, you got a six forty first pitch with the Brewers coming in

46:09

the town and usually everybody's getting to the ballpark a few hours early. So

46:15

my question is what are they doing for the players and anyone in the ballpark

46:20

that they're going to have to remind people you can stare at the sun, but make sure you have eye protection and don't look too close too long,

46:27

or you might burn the eye, your eyes right out of your head,

46:30

which nobody wants. Alex one more audible to call here, can we play

46:34

that first clip that I came out of the gate with in relation to what

46:37

happens if you look at the eclipse full on with either no protection or less

46:44

than the right protection, because nothing good comes from it, and we don't

46:47

want that to happen to anybody, whether it's the Reds or whether it's you,

46:52

or whether it's the kids, whomever else. It's one of those things.

46:55

This. Make sure you've got at least the right protection to protect those

47:00

eyeballs. Staring directly at the eclipse can cause solar retinopathy, a condition where

47:07

radiation from the sun is focused through the eyes and burns the retina. Symptoms

47:12

of this include headaches, watery and painful eyes, sensitivity to bray light,

47:15

blurry or distorted vision, the occurrence of new blind spots, and a difficulty

47:20

to differentiate between colors. The harm di vision can be temporary, and swelling

47:24

in the eye may go down, but the damage can be permanent. I'm

47:34

just here to help, but I know you're thinking, really, sterling.

47:36

It's the Aronal Carriers inside pitch, and we're getting information about saving our eyeballs

47:39

because we're all sharing this space. And tomorrow the sun will go dark during

47:45

the day and we may if it clears in time, as the forecast says,

47:50

be able to see a three hundred and sixty degree sunset, and that

47:53

likely will never ever happen again as long as I am walking the face of

47:58

the earth. Back after your one o'clock report, we'll get you ready for

48:02

Reds Baseball. Right here on the RNL Carriers inside pitch seven hundred ww spring

48:07

is here and that means warmer weather is on the way. Corkoran and Harnessed
