0:00

Fall back on the big one this afternoon. I know it's not a great

0:03

American ballpark, but I've been to games a great American ballpark where days like

0:07

today are actually warmer than ones that I've been Like early in the season,

0:12

they'll be in the desert and doing it up at their complex. And goodyear.

0:16

Taking on the Angels three oh five, first pitch, two thirty pre

0:20

game. It'll get you going with that, and we'll lead right into that

0:23

dome. You know, I can't believe this weather has been so crazy.

0:28

No one day right with last weather. Yeah, say that three times.

0:32

Can't do it, not even gonna try. And it's so sunny and beautiful.

0:37

It's gonna be like sixty today and sixty five tomorrow. I'm ridiculous.

0:42

I'll take it though. Actually they've upgraded it, dude. Check this out.

0:46

Monday seventy oh man sixty four Wednesday. I mean, I'm not like

0:51

meteorologist. I just read a forecast and try to make sense of things.

0:54

You know what I mean? Same here, Yeah, that's that's how that

0:56

goes. We got a lot to do today, from toes and fingers and

1:00

stiffs. Just to let your mind wander a little bit on that. That's

1:03

late, right, there's a cowboy. I don't know either, because I

1:10

just like to get your reaction on things. Oh what else? Oh you

1:12

got Xavier inaction a little bit later too. I think that's is that on

1:17

the ESPN fifteen Oh, it's thirteen sixty Fox Sports Cincinnati. Then we got

1:23

to f C Cincinnati starting with their first regular season match already they have three

1:27

weeks off. I think for the entire off season. It's the longest season

1:30

of anything ever. And Xavier Musketeers taking Marquette on the road at their place

1:38

and that's on fifty five kr C today too. I mean, it's just

1:41

everything everywhere, all the time. I think that was that a movie.

1:44

Everything everywhere all the time was big Academy Award winning Yes, everything, Yeah,

1:48

I don't know. It's on Netflix now, I ever saw it? You know what I did see yesterday? Part one, Part two is now

1:53

available US. Wendy Williams. Where is Wendy Williams on Lifetime? Holely smokes

2:00

For those who don't know, big time talk show host at New York became on the radio radio host Yeah first and then turned into like a TV syndicated

2:07

talk show superstar, right, yes, and she just got diagnosed with phasia

2:14

and mentioned the same thing that Bruce Willis has. She's only fifty nine years

2:16

old. Bruce Willis is sixty nine years old. But alcohol and drugs have

2:22

played a big part. You know, all these doctors are coming out and

2:24

saying, yeah, when you drink alcohol and you do drugs, it disrupts

2:29

the frontal lobe of your brain. Wait a minute, oh wait, wait, wait, wait, do we know how much? I mean I was

2:37

a little concerned about it. I have a couple of glasses of wine here

2:40

and there when I was a younger man. You know, you know,

2:45

you still drink jack and coke occasionally occasionally. I mean, when you come

2:50

back, I'll have a straight up jack with a coke back. Yeah.

2:53

I mean, well you do like what you I mean, they caught it

2:57

a hot dog? Was it a doctor pepper or something? You throw like

2:59

a shot of something into the boiler maker? Is that what they called that?

3:02

I think so a lot of bar gigs, a lot of bands drink,

3:07

you know. Yeah, yeah, well, I mean if Tommy Lee is still around with all his faculties, and I think we're gonna be she

3:14

actually she talked about this and oh my gosh, I can't wait to see

3:17

episode two because it's out today and I ain't get a chance to watch it.

3:21

List It's so it's intriguing, it's fascinating. This woman has been through

3:25

a lot. She came up with this. Here's how she got famous in

3:29

radio. Right. She was somebody that read the Inquirer USA Today, all

3:35

the rag yes, all the tabloids, and she started this really big deal

3:40

called hot topics, and she carried it over even to her talk show This

3:45

is before TMZ and all that. Oh yeah, I mean, I mean, Wendy Williams was the one who gave you the inside scoop about people.

3:53

And like she did this amazing interview with Whitney Houston and asked her is she

3:58

doing crack? Is she you know? All the stuff that you would never

4:00

think to ask, Well, you would think to ask it, but do

4:03

you never have a courage to ask those questions for later? Rate? You

4:08

don't start with those usually because they could just walk out and then you're stuck.

4:12

Yeah, And Whitney gave it to her this in her twenty three minute

4:15

interview put Wendy Williams on the map. It's really good. It's on Lifetime.

4:18

If you have Hulu, just google wheres Wendy Williams and watch it.

4:21

It's insanely addicting to watch her and what she has gone through, the highs

4:30

and very very highs and very very very low. It's hard because I mean

4:34

there's a lot of people that are are in their twenties and thirties and maybe

4:39

even a little older that really effectively grew up watching, if not listening to

4:43

her, and to see that's sort of like the Bruce Willis thing for a

4:45

lot of people too. I mean, he was in fifty nine to get aphasia and dementia fifty nine and that's like five years for me. And here's

4:54

the other part. She had a bunch of dough and apparently what she had

4:57

some problems with people misappropriate. Basically, her husband was her manager and he

5:04

was funding this whole other woman. I mean and she I mean it was

5:09

wow, houses and cars and bags and hair and all that stuff. And

5:14

uh and and Wendy Williams caught him. I got what a mess, What

5:19

a mess that was? That was just in episode one, And that's all

5:24

public. That's the other thing that weighs on you. It's not you know,

5:27

it's bad enough when those type of weird things may happen privately, but

5:30

now having all these health problems, you know, and if she's not making

5:32

I'm guessing that Lifetime probably coughed up some cash to get some right. Yeah,

5:38

her family is now suing Lifetime for yeah, I and they chose to

5:43

put out this documentary. This is two years in the making. They've been

5:46

following her around and you know, she is a public figure and has been

5:50

for years and years and years. And you have to accept that a lot

5:58

of the stuff that people are going to talk about you is known, and

6:02

you spend a career talking about other people, so they're going to do it.

6:06

You're gonna get some backlash. What Karma's a weird thing. Whenever you

6:13

put out it boomerangs back at you, karmatic retribution. See, I'm not

6:17

so much worried. I wouldn't worry about and don't now personally care what I

6:20

mean. Effect We've talked about this before. You can't let stuff bother you

6:24

because I mean, you just get you can't believe the good and you can't

6:27

take the hate. Yeah, I mean, I just don't worry about it.

6:30

Just keep it nice and chill. It's even keeled if you can. But the problem is, if you know, her husband ripped her off to

6:35

the point of your bankruptcy, and now she has these health problems, she

6:39

can't go out and earn and if the you know, because of being a

6:42

public figure, all this stuff's out there, where does her medical care come

6:46

from? Because you're gonna want as good a care as you can possibly get, and if you don't have a lot of money, your options become much

6:54

narrower as far as getting quality care, especially something so important, and it's

6:59

hard on family, right, Oh of course. I mean, that's like

7:01

the scariest thing for all of us is getting older and not being able to

7:04

care for ourselves financially and physically. And you know, obviously mentally she's that's

7:12

one out of three that's really hard to cope with. But she still has

7:16

money. She's not dead broke, and you know she can write it to

7:20

have somebody write a tell all. I'm sure you know after this lifetime series.

7:27

Yeah, she remembers it. I'm not trying to be funny. No,

7:30

I didn't mean that a bad way, but I knew as I was falling out of my mouth, like that's going to come out wrong. No,

7:33

she can have a guest, a ghost writer, write a tell all

7:39

book and makes money. There's still she's still yeah, viable enough. I

7:44

mean, she's got a This is going to be a hit series for lifetime.

7:47

And but you can see already she's she's just losing it in season one,

7:54

in episode one, you can see the where that's going, where this

7:58

is going. I don't know if I can handle watching that. It's really

8:01

good. You have to if you're in radio stir aline. I know you

8:03

need to watch it. It talks, it's so interesting on the radio side.

8:09

Oh no, I get that. I'm not disputing the interesting part.

8:11

I'm saying I don't know that. It's hard for me. I've had people

8:16

that I've been around that have had deterioration. And when you see that,

8:20

yeah, and it's being told however dramatic hit makes. She's drinking alcohol in

8:24

this in the interview, she's got a glass of champagne. She's knows what

8:28

she's doing it. No, no, no, no, that part I

8:31

understand. But I hate to see people just come apart and they're going to

8:35

show step by step how that happens, right, It is hard to watch,

8:39

Yes, I will stipulate it is hard to watch to see somebody that

8:43

vibrant, that alive as Wendy Williams. I mean, this was going on

8:48

two years ago when she was still doing her talk show. Remember she passed

8:52

out. How Sherry got the job right, she took over and now she's

8:54

making millions and she's great at that too, by the way. But this

8:58

is the thing. Remember Jerry Springer of course, Cincinnati guy kid Mayor blah

9:01

blah blah blah blah, all this stuff that went with him, big time

9:05

TV show, and it was chaos and insanity. And I love the guy,

9:09

good guy. I had him on the show and everything else. He's

9:11

no longer with us, may rest in peace. But I could not sit

9:16

through more than an episode of that. Yes, it made me uncomfortable.

9:18

It was it was because of all the trauma and the chaos. It was

9:24

like, I know my nervous system. Yes, it's like I don't know that my family's that messed up. We try to put the fun and dysfunction

9:30

Donna. But I gotta tell you, I mean it was like, I'm

9:33

glad it was a huge success for him and everybody got to have some fun

9:37

with it. And it's on streaming twenty four to seven someplace right now as

9:39

we speak. But I felt so uncomfortable I had I'm like, I don't

9:43

need to I felt like a golker. Yes, same here, felt the

9:46

exact same way. And he felt like dirty, yeah, like this this

9:50

is not right and that is just not good to watch this. That's why

9:52

some of the TMZ stuff if sort of I kind of see that way.

9:56

It's like, you know, I don't always need to know all of this stuff. Now I'll watch it right right, Yeah, I'm gonna watch.

10:05

I don't feel good about it, but I'll watch. We have to a

10:09

Friday night show. By the way, you you are with Rocky on Thursday

10:11

and Friday, you're with him on Monday as well as adds out and joined

10:15

some vacation well deserved, you know, fingers as the man. So it's

10:18

rock and Uh Friday Show and we have Lance McAllister on, by the way,

10:22

does sports talk You know who Lance is? Uh, he'll be on

10:26

with this at twelve thirty five and he leaves. Let me just quickly say

10:30

this called a by deterioration and a breakdown the screen that we look at that

10:33

has all the names of callers and everything else where you can engage and click

10:37

a caller because it's all technology now, everything's upgraded. It's like the AT

10:41

and T thing when everybody lost their mind briefly, which we'll get into.

10:45

Yes, Uh, the screen goes dark. I start the show. We're

10:50

taking calls. Once it you know it's being taken and the other rom Pore

10:52

Shawn is producing. At that point Alex Egan today will have Sean later.

10:56

It's impossible to do the show. Then there's a massive pop as I'm talking

11:01

to a guy on the phone during in the room goes dark. Scary computers

11:09

go dark, the phone goes dark, the clock goes off, and and

11:13

nothing. It's dead silence in here in the middle of the show, and

11:16

I'm like, what the hell right? And I'm in here all alone.

11:20

I'm like, so I gotta run. I got to run around my way

11:24

no and chaos ensues and then I've got to navigate three hours of no phones

11:31

and trying to It was so Lance he texted how the rest of it go?

11:37

So you followed, Lance, And I'm not saying I'm not blaming lance,

11:39

but it was fine while he was here. And as soon as he

11:43

lives, what did you do? And he's talking to me on the way

11:46

out the door, and I'm like, what's up with the computer? Do you have any problems because it's dark? He goes, no, I don't

11:50

understand. I'm like, well, the monitor's on, but there's no computer.

11:52

He goes, I don't know, and then he like bails out,

11:56

and that was the end of it. So I don't know if he's plotting or not. So we'll have to address that later. Yes, definitely,

12:00

but it's about handling it stress. I figure we can talk a little bit

12:03

about when things go bad, how you navigate that professionally, personally, some

12:07

people like I'm not gonna say Gary Jeff would have melted down Saturday morning if

12:11

it hadn't been rectified, But Gary Jeff would have melted down and not been

12:13

able to cope. I wouldn't have been that great in that situation either.

12:18

I just put my head down and figured, you know what, it's going

12:20

to go to midnight no matter what. I'd better just suck it up and

12:22

try to deliver a show. I don't know how it sounded, but I was in it, and it was a nightmare. Nightmare, all right,

12:28

we should stop. I feel like I have a phasion. Now I'm sterling.

12:31

She's gone a d Glad you're along Sunday afternoon. Later, Lance joins

12:35

us, we'll talk on the meltdowns in handling stress and so much more,

12:39

plus fingers toes, stiffs and so much on a Sunday afternoon with Reds Baseball,

12:45

back on the Big One, live from Goodyear, Arizona at a three

13:01

13:05

13:09

Oh I'm sorry. We listen to Eddie and Rocky. They're funny. You

13:18

14:13

don't even want to listen to the show back, that's how bad it is.

14:16

And the neighbor woman goes, wow, I see you're wearing different colors

14:18

today when I was walking the dog and I'm like, what are you talking

14:20

about? And then she said, how is Friday's show? I don't know,

14:24

and she just laughed. I don't know she heard it and realized that

14:26

she and her husband listened all the time. Donna, by the way, sterling a Dona D seven hundred WLW. But anyway, so we'll touch on

14:33

that in a little bit. We'll talk on Rhet's second game of the spring

14:37

first on the big one coming up at three zero five. And here's the

14:41

thing. Do you ever find anything unusual or strange when you've been out and

14:43

about in your daily life on her strange? You know, like weird socks

14:52

in socks, you know, nothing really strange. Like a buddy of mine

14:58

in the neighborhood week or ten days ago tells me, next to his shed

15:01

he found a small engine carburetor. Not his, it just it was next

15:07

to his shed in his backyard. That's weird, right right, And I

15:11

was like, that's pretty weird, dude. I don't know. As a

15:13

kid delivering newspapers, I found cash. I found cash before. That's not

15:18

that's awesome. It's a good day. Right, I've lost more than I've

15:22

ever found, but I thought this was great. And if I'm not mistaken,

15:26

is it? Is it Austin Elmore Or who was from like the Sydney

15:30

area or something like that. Right, Yeah, he's the home of the

15:33

eellijack. It's just like my friend Stephanie. This is a dateline Sydney,

15:37

Ohio headline. Strangest thing I've ever heard. Shoppers going to a big box

15:41

retailer Walmart found a finger, all right, So yeah there's that. Anyway,

15:52

So that's a toe, not a finger. Well, I don't know

15:58

how here this is My mind wonders though, on where where is it that

16:03

a finger comes from? How did one lose a finger? Did it get

16:07

it stuck in the door? Did someone take a finger because they owed someone's

16:10

money? And what? No? I think maybe you know how they have

16:15

those high powered saws in the garden store. Maybe somebody accidentally sawt a finger.

16:22

I don't know. I mean, I don't know that I would have

16:26

recognized it as a human finger in a parking lot. You have to really

16:30

be looking on the ground. Yeah, unless they kicked it up and was

16:33

like, wow, that's somebody's finger, which I would never do. It

16:37

was a woman's finger, Okay, it was amputated nail polish. They didn't

16:41

say that. That'd be like the toe, which is one of those things.

16:45

I just don't know. What do you not get help? Did you?

16:48

Was it? You just carry it around? It's one of those things.

16:51

Hey, guess what I have in my glove box? I mean what did I? I mean, what do you do with that? When you

16:56

find it? You've got a call? Right? I mean? Or do you just leave it? I think I don't even know. I would not

17:02

touch it, and I would just leave it in mind my own business.

17:07

So you just some person. They gotta find it there. Wait if I

17:11

see it, but if I go into a store on the way, people

17:15

still need that. Well she might need a finger. Well she's lost it.

17:18

It's gone, probably I can't imagine. Yeah, yeah, so do

17:22

you save it and mammify? And then you have it as a key ring? And hey, where'd you get the dude? Have you seen Sterling's finger

17:27

on the keyring? No? I wouldn't even know. Way, Yeah,

17:30

let's get to hamlet in Bob quickly, here with Sterling and Dynade on the

17:34

big one. Bob, what's going on? If you found a finger or

17:37

a toe? No, I didn't find a finger or toe. But I

17:41

was listening Friday night, and I have to command you. It's tough when

17:45

the machine you're working, is it working right? Oh, there's going to

17:48

be ten or twelve people listening. Well, I would, I would hope.

17:52

If not, I'd be begging for change soon. Maybe I'd be selling

17:55

fingers on another black like a market or like the dark web. I don't

18:00

know, but yeah, thanks for another one to talk to you about,

18:03

Sterling. I got a concession. And no turtles were harmed in this story,

18:07

okay, uh oh as far as finding things, when we were kids,

18:12

we used to catch turtles in the woods and think them sure and released

18:18

them right and see if other people would find like a purple turtle or something

18:23

like that. You know, sure, I've never done that. No turtles

18:27

were harmed, right, Well, probably not. I mean, it might

18:30

have been easier for a walk up above there. Oh what's that turtle thing?

18:33

Or maybe it was. They were like, that can't be a turtle,

18:36

it's purple. Who knows what that is? I have no idea. When I got older, I told my kids about it, and they wanted

18:41

to do it. So we use water based paint and they put stuff on

18:45

it for like NASCAR and stuff like Sure, why not? Why not take

18:48

care of the terrapin is all I say, Bob, I appreciate the call.

18:52

Thank you, thanks for calling. No animals harmed. I appreciate it. Asked me, if PA is going to reach out to us now,

18:56

like we're the problem, I would say, just let's leave nature alone.

19:00

But no need to paint them. I get it, and I appreciate they

19:03

weren't hurt. Yeah. Absolutely, And at least she didn't say he ate

19:06

them. That would have been uncomfortable. You have a turtle. I have

19:08

had her. But I think that's the point of Bob bringing it up for

19:11

those who don't know, is that I've had the turtle since I was eight.

19:14

Yes, founder in the woods. Yeah. Yeah, they live a

19:17

long life, turtles, they really. My mom used to have a really big one in her front yard that she dubbed Lightning and was his name because

19:23

so fast. He's so fast. They are. They're sneaky fast though.

19:27

But this one was old, and I've never seen such a big turtle in

19:32

my life. And this is in Florida, or in Connecticut or Florida, Florida. Yeah, so she lived in the o'calla forest. She had a

19:37

place out there. Oh, I was going to say it was Oh my

19:40

gosh, it was a planetarium, the stars in the sky, and you

19:44

know she had bald eagles and landing in her I mean it was unbelievable.

19:48

They're amazing the body, Oh gosh. Top of the food chain, yeah,

19:52

except for the gray horn. Now they like to eat the eagle babies.

19:56

They do sometimes if they can't. I'm not don't look at me like

19:59

that. Okay, it's a dog eat dog world. I mean, the

20:03

only reason we're on top right now is because we have thumbs and cars,

20:07

man, don't judge me. iPhones and phones. We speaking of which and

20:11

it goes into Friday Show and we'll talk about this maybe after Lance for a

20:14

little bit is dealing with the worst case when all hell happens and the computers

20:18

go away like the AT and T phones did, And if there was an

20:22

EMP the electromagnetic upholes, or if there was an attack on satellites, what

20:26

would you how would you navigate it? And what would you need that thing

20:32

of comfort and current that it could help get you through, Because it's like going back to the dark ages, except here it's all digital. Now there

20:38

was nothing like the old days where you could like just crank it up,

25:08

Uh. So we appreciate you helping with all of that, certainly,

25:12

Sterling. I got to tell you, I'm crossing the bridge in the Northern

25:15

Kentucky Friday night listening after I left, and it was unscathed and the circumstances

25:22

that were taking place, and there was a sense of growing doom and horror

25:26

of what I had left behind for you, completely unintentionally, but it took

25:32

on a life of like the movie War Games. It was bad. I

25:38

was expecting you to tell me that the computer had had issued you know,

25:41

shall we play a game? Because you had lost all control of everything that

25:45

was going on Friday night and I felt very, very very badly, and

25:49

yet you just drove on home. You know, I will say I didn't

25:55

reacts. It was like I did you know he texted about eleven o'clock,

25:59

eleven thirty like man or maybe it was later It's like, how did the

26:02

rest of it go? I heard such and such what James sounded good? I'm like, dude, No, there was a point pulling into my driveway.

26:10

I will admit this. And this was about nine to forty and I pulled into the driveway. The garage door went up, and I thought,

26:14

you know what, should I turn around and go back and like offer to

26:18

to be in there and do a show. I've never done a show with

26:22

Sterling. Maybe I should do the show. And I said, you know what, I believe in Sterling. I trust he's going to be able to

26:27

navigate all that he did. Yeah, we got through that. I can't

26:30

stop time. I don't know where I heard that before. So I just

26:33

you know, you do what you gotta do. Does Sean help put,

26:36

you know, get me into another studio? And I don't know if you've ever done this before. But as much as technology was the problem, it

26:45

also was the savior. And that with the speaker on the handheld phone device,

26:49

I was able to talk to I'm trying to Jason Williams, of course,

26:53

from the Inquired does shows here on the Big One. He's out in

26:56

the desert with went and Meyer and company from the the in the Acquirer there

27:00

talking reds and stuff. So we did that with me holding the phone next

27:03

to the microphone with him in a mighty wall from space dot Com and a

27:08

couple earlier conversations to help get through that we had recorded. I mean,

27:12

no secrets here. Sometimes you can't get people on your schedule. You've got

27:15

to grab them when they can give you eight or ten minutes or whatever it

27:18

is. So yeah, it was. It was a joy ride. You

27:25

made it. You made it. We're here, We're good to go. Yeah, we navigate. That's all it is is about. And that's the

27:29

thing about sport that I think is about life is that And maybe I overthink

27:33

it. But the more time has passed and I have gotten older, that's

27:37

what is amazing. In a lot of ways with sport, you don't know

27:41

what's gonna happen. There may be injuries, there may be in clement weather,

27:44

there may be technical problems, there may be a power outage with a

27:47

night game. There may be all sorts of other things that come into play,

27:52

and somehow, Lance Donna, you have to just keep going and make

27:56

it work because there's still one hundred and sixty two games to play. There's

28:00

still seventeen weeks for the NFL in whatever it is, and you can whine,

28:03

you can cry, you can throw a fit, or you can suck

28:07

it up and deal with it. And if it doesn't work, well, you did your best. You know what they say about the best of laid

28:11

plans. And really I mean to tie this analogy all together. It's the

28:15

way the Reds are approaching one hundred and sixty two games. And while everybody

28:18

wrings their hands over, well, we've got too many infielders, We've got

28:22

too many outfielders. We've got too how are we going to find time for

28:25

everybody? Over the course of one hundred and sixty two. There's a reason why they call it the Big one sixty two. A lot can happen.

28:30

There's road trips, there's injuries. There's the dead of summer when it's hot

28:34

and guys are worn down and worn out in tweak hamstrings. And Nick Krawl

28:40

has spent the offseason kind of protecting this team, insulating this team and giving

28:45

them options to guys getting hurt. And last year when guys got hurt,

28:48

they were having to sign guys from the independent league or from foreign countries out

28:53

of nowhere to come in and just kind of band aid this thing together.

28:57

This season, they are much better position to be able to handle an injury

29:02

to this guy or that guy. And that's kind of the theme of this

29:04

twenty twenty four Reds team. It's bring it on, We're ready for whatever

29:08

the baseball gods drop on us in Cincinnati. What speaking about age, and

29:14

I don't know why this has been on my mind all day today, but

29:18

what is the average age lance of a ballplayer that retires, Like how long

29:25

do they normally play? Play until? That's a good question. I think

29:30

the game has gotten a lot younger. It used to be players would play

29:33

and be productive and kept around into their even mid thirties, into their later

29:37

thirties. I think baseball has looked and said, there's so much young talent

29:41

in the game, and young talent is cheap talent, that we're going to

29:45

start giving guys more opportunities early on in their careers. And on the back

29:48

end of that, I think Joey Vado is a classic example. Clearly to

29:52

this point, there's teams looking and saying, we just don't have a spot

29:56

for somebody like Joey Vado who once did. But the game is no longer

30:00

about what you once did. It's all about what you're going to do.

30:04

And that's why young players get more and more opportunities because of the upside versus

30:10

guys at age thirty four, five, six, seven, thirty eight and

30:14

older. They're just being squeezed out of the game and the Union is I

30:17

think looking at that going you know what's going on here. But on the

30:21

front end of all this, young guys are getting a lot of the game's younger than it's ever been in Major League Baseball, there's no question about that.

30:26

Talking to Lace McCallister, Stirling and Donneee on the Big one, speaking

30:30

of building this team better, they perform better earlier with everything you just mentioned

30:37

about, you know, turning over rocks and you talk about finding players from

30:41

all different types of places unexpectedly, not just you know, their farm system

30:47

directly. And that's about having player personnel out there scouting and knowing what's out

30:52

there. And this team seems now closer to where you maybe expected them a

30:59

couple of years from now and maybe built to last. Is this team still

31:03

in want or need of something that they have not brought in at this point

31:08

so early in spring, it may be hard to tell lance, but I'm

31:11

just curious because it seems like they're better. There's no question. I think

31:15

they're set up very well, positioned, very well. Could they are there

31:18

still questions about I think the biggest thing is when you're young, you don't

31:22

have the track record. And one of my concerns about the starting rotation is

31:26

they've got a bunch of young arms with a lot of upside who should get

31:30

better this season and really need to take a next step. But there's no

31:33

guarantee. There isn't anybody in the starting rotation you can say, all right,

31:37

that guy's been there, done that. He's made thirty starts in a

31:41

major league season. He's thrown one hundred and seventy five innings in a major

31:44

league season. So there's a little bit of unknown From that standpoint. It

31:47

doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. It just means you're taking a bit of a

31:52

leap of faith with a lot of guys, and you know, when you're

31:55

young, that's that's the that's the variable, and the hope is everybody gets

32:00

better, but not everybody gets better at the same time, and the track

32:04

of progress is that not everybody's arrow is a straight line up. Sometimes it

32:08

levels out for a year, sometimes it goes back for a year. But

32:13

I think they're willing to roll the dice on the young talent because it's really

32:15

good young talent on this stage. Well, what's interesting too, The young

32:19

talent could be athletic and ready to go and eager and all that, but

32:23

there's something to be said about the older talent that's strategic and wiser and has

32:28

been there and has a track record. And I'm just wondering, since it's

32:31

the game has gotten younger, I wonder if this is a test model of

32:37

what's happening here, what's going to happen. I think that's a great point,

32:40

and clearly around baseball, and it's been written about. The Athletic had

32:45

a great piece about this recently of how you almost have to take the good

32:47

with the bad sometimes because when you're young and unproven and still learning, maybe

32:53

you don't have all the skill sets completely refined, and maybe the game won't

32:59

be as crisp and clean. Maybe that leads to errors of base running error

33:02

here and there, stuff like that. It's just stuff that you haven't cataloged

33:06

in the back of your mind through experiences, and teams almost have to learn

33:10

to accept there's going to be some of that versus the ultimate payoff of being

33:15

really good in the end when you're coming through all this. And that's kind

33:19

of the yin and yang of baseball right now. Talking to Lace McCallister,

33:22

of course you know that voice sports talking, and he does everything else.

33:25

I mean, he's with Rocky and they do all the shows about the Bengals,

33:28

which you know, they got new turf coming, they got new locker room situations, which I talked to Rapine about the other night, and of

33:34

course he made fun of me because I said dressing room, but you still

33:37

got a dress in there. That's a whole other story. Something about this

33:42

team is they have brought in some guys who have more experience. They have

33:45

a wealth of talent up the middle, they're young, their cost effective.

33:50

They re signed to Jonathan India in avoided arbitration, gave him a two year

33:53

deal which could put him in a place not just to better this team with

33:58

his experience is Rookie of the Year, but also then the question is is

34:01

he a carrot that they can dangle out there if they find if not towards

34:05

the end of spring or during the season leading up to the trade deadline,

34:08

well they're once in needs could change. Most teams d during that grind,

34:14

he could be bait that provides them an opportunity to go shop for something later.

34:17

As much as he is a fan favorite, yes, yeah, I

34:21

said Friday night, I think he's the most fascinating story, one of the

34:23

most fascinating storylines, at least in camp, because three years ago he was

34:30

the rookie of the Year and he's been this team starting base, starting second

34:32

basement for three consecutive seasons. In the end of the offseason, David Bell

34:37

and Nick Kral went to him and basically said, you're no longer our starting

34:39

second baseman, and if you want playing time, we're gonna need you to

34:44

maybe shag some fly balls in the outfield, take some balls at first base

34:47

and third base this year in training, in spring training, we'll see how

34:51

things go. And I thought he had a great conversation with Mark Sheldon when

34:54

Jonathan said, you know, if I wasn't, I'm ready to accept this.

35:00

If I wasn't, I would have been traded. I would have told them I don't want this. I want out and yet as a clear leader

35:07

of this team, and I said this Friday night, all eyes have to

35:10

be on the leader of a team who is told to do something differently.

35:14

And if Jonathan India sulked and pouted and moped around this camp, I think

35:19

it'd be very troubling for this team. But instead he has embraced it.

35:22

And he said, you want me to play some outfield, okay, hit me some flyballs. You want me to play third, Okay, I did

35:27

that in college. You want me to play first to get some playing time.

35:30

Sure, let me do that. Now. I don't know if it's gonna work, but I think it says a lot about him, and I

35:35

think it means a lot to the rest of this team to all eyes go

35:38

in the clubhouse to him and say, wait a minute, leader respected,

35:44

he was our guy, and now they're asking him to do this. How's

35:46

he going to handle it? And so far, I think it's played out

35:51

very well because I think it speaks highly about him, and it's the tone

35:55

set for everybody else in that clubhouse that hey, I want to win.

35:59

I want to be with you guys to win. And this is what it's gonna take I'm willing to do it. He let go of his ego.

36:05

That's what it is. And that is a team player right there, because

36:07

some people would not handle it that way. You got you know, that's

36:10

the thing is that it's a leader by doing the job. And at this

36:15

point the game has changed, has in Atlanta where it seems like you've got

36:20

to be that multi tool player. You got to be able to do a

36:22

multitude of things otherwise you're obsolete almost at this point. That and just in

36:27

the last five years. It's a market change, not just for teams that

36:30

are maybe not fat with cash in La or Chicago or Houston or someplace else

36:36

where they can just spend money like in Atlanta, like it's just going out of style, but everywhere the mindset is different. I mean, look look

36:43

at you know, the alien Otani. I mean he does everything, and

36:49

I mean he's paid obviously handsomely, no doubt. I mean baseball has become

36:53

about position, flexibility and versatility more than any time in the game. It

36:59

used to be the guys would play one hundred and sixty one hundred and sixty, one hundred and sixty two games a season because that was what was expected,

37:05

but as the game has grown, we've learned more things about it. The understanding is if you get a guy rest every now and then every seven

37:13

days, every ten days and keep them fresh throughout the season, one they

37:17

stay healthy, and two they stay more productive instead of grinding them down late

37:22

in the season. If a guy can play multiple positions, you can move

37:25

players around and you can maximize your roster. That is gold in baseball today.

37:31

And if you can use a guy later in a game and move him

37:34

to another position, it gives you. Ultimately, what baseball is about is

37:38

matchups and flexibility. You want to put players in the best position to succeed,

37:44

and you want to keep them out of positions that they don't fare well

37:47

at. You want to protect them. So maybe a guy who's on a

37:50

hot streak, he is hitting in seven straight games. Maybe the next game

37:53

he's going to face a lefty, but he doesn't hit very well against lefties.

37:57

Now teams say, instead of putting him in a position where it's not

38:01

conducive to success, let's take him out of the lineup on this day,

38:06

put somebody in who does hit lefties, and it's a win win all the

38:08

way around, and that's what major League baseball's becoming. I know, especially

38:13

here. It's not like the seventies anymore. It's not like the big Red

38:15

Machine anymore. It's a change in the game, but it's where the game

38:20

is and where it's going right now talking to Lance McAllister, familiar voice here

38:22

on the Big one host of sports talk, and it does so much more

38:25

Sterling and Donna Dee. You know what's interesting is that that description that we

38:31

just sort of led to and you were so eloquent about, is business and

38:36

life for all of us really in this time of transition for you know,

38:39

talk of AI and jobs and unemployment. Will it help, will it hurt?

38:44

And what that means is more tools, more flexibility, more opportunity to

38:47

earn because everything changes. And that's why. And maybe I'm just weird about

38:52

this, but I keep going at sport as life's life is sport. It's

38:54

all interrelated without all the ancillary hate that the rest of the world and news

39:00

seems to bring us. At this point, I want to shift this just

39:02

briefly, because we're talking about aging and changes. If you look at the

39:07

basketball Bearcats who have struggled but in some ways performed in just that close to

39:14

getting it done in the Big Twelve. And you look at Xavier in the Big East, and you know, all the difference of going out and hunting

39:21

players and movement and everything and aging and older players. We're seeing a little

39:25

bit more of that multi tool stuff even at the college hoops level as we

39:30

are even in the NFL in some fashion or am I a delusional No,

39:34

there's no doubtage, especially with the impact that COVID had on athletics and the

39:38

extra year. Players are sticking around longer, and so it used to be

39:43

if you had young you know, example, Kentucky Wildcats with a bunch of

39:46

young McDonald's all Americans. Well, now, I mean it's a tough ask,

39:51

especially know Sean Miller's talked about it. He's got freshmen who are trying

39:54

to play in the Big East at this stage of the season, and the

39:57

Big East is older. Players are older, they've stuck around, they've transferred

40:00

from one school to another, but they've got experience under their belt, and

40:05

it's I don't want to say it's an old man's game, but it's an

40:08

older, more experienced game. And if you're young in college basketball, and

40:13

athletics today. It's an awfully big ask. I think the troubling thing with

40:17

UC right now is UC is only really playing one freshman, Gisel James.

40:22

The rest of this group, whether it's Johnny Newman or a Z's or Lucasius

40:25

or lock On the Reynolds, they've got experience under their belt, and I

40:29

think it's why it's really frustrating for UC fans. This team's not getting better

40:34

at this stage of the season. It feels like groundhog Day. They can't

40:37

close out games, they don't shoot very well, they don't value the basketball

40:40

in possessions, and if it were a young group, you could almost write

40:44

it off to that. But I think it's fair to say, well, what the hell, Wes, You're in your third year, you're in your

40:49

ninety seventh game. You've got a team of more veteran players. Their top

40:52

five players getting minutes right now have played over nine thousand minutes of college basketball

40:59

in their life. Yet they still have the same issues they had earlier in

41:01

the season, and the trend is certainly not good for UC basketball. Right

41:07

That's great, Lance, Thank you. One question before we go, because

41:10

and it's a little off topic, I told you we were talking about age,

41:14

and for some reason this is coming to me. I posted a Facebook page a post on how do you feel about getting older? And I'm the

41:22

comments are amazing. So I'm going to ask you Lance, how do you

41:25

feel about getting older? Not that you're old older. Let me give you

41:30

perspective on this from this standpoint. The other day, I was thinking and

41:35

I wrote about this twenty You know, when I hear someone say twenty years

41:39

ago this was happening, I go to twenty years ago to me should be

41:45

nineteen eighty four, but in reality, twenty years ago is two thousand and

41:50

four. I'm like, wait a minute, what is going on here? Because I swear just yesterday my relatability to twenty years ago was nineteen eighty four.

41:58

I was a senior at Carmel High School, and now twenty years ago

42:01

was two thousand and four and my son Casey was four. Man, I'm

42:06

like, what has happened? Like a blink of an eye, yeah,

42:12

that's the best context I could offer you on that. It's incredibly weird,

42:15

if not troubling. It's come a long way from seeming this summer as a

42:21

child would never end. I remember the month end going. I'm loving baseball.

42:24

If I'm lucky I get to some Reds games as a kid growing up

42:28

in dating, you know, and then I'm like, well, let's get

42:30

back to school. And now it's like a whole year blinks by, and about what seemed like a summer. I'm like Eddie Fingers posted commented on that

42:37

post and he said it sucks, but it beats the alternative. Yeah,

42:39

which, of course we'll find out about the other later, hopefully much later.

42:44

Lamce McAllister, thank you so much. It's always going to talk to you Sports Talk Monday night, talking about Reds, talking about Bengals, Bearcats

42:52

and does Musketeers anything else before we let you go quickly. No, I'm

42:55

honored to be on with you, and I just hope as I sign off,

42:58

I don't leave behind anything that wrong related to the broadcasting of this station.

43:02

We hope so too. I couldn't imagine you plotting against me. Maybe

43:06

some others flex is yelling at us Wick think we gotta go now. I'm

43:08

sure it was gonna plot. He's lance, I'm sterling, she's done ade

43:12

and we come back. We'll talk about aging and how you feel about it.

43:15

The good, the bad, the ugly of it in is so much more reds and also Angels getting it on from Goodyear with three oh five,

43:22

first pitch here on the whole of the rich seven hundred WW cents an at

43:24

eight when I listened to Willie, I feel better about things. Remember my

43:30

friend Willy is here for you. Everyone says how smart dolphins are, but

43:34

Bill Cunningham is way smarter. Let me help ease your concerns, keep you

43:37

informed. Has a dolphin ever won a Marconi Award? No, but Bill's

43:42

won two of those suckers. Open your ears and hear my mighty words of

43:46

Bill Cunningham. Tomorrow at twelve noon on seven hundred w l W temperature warming

43:57

up, sort of feels like spring, maybe a little earlier than normal,

44:00

but it's warm in the desert Goodyear, Arizona, Red Angels, three oh

44:06

five, first pitch right here, seven hundred w l W Sterling and Donna

44:09

d warm for the next two days, then it drops, then it gets

44:14

warm again. It's you know what I mean, it gets yesterday exactly bipolar.

44:20

I guess I mean you just don't know. I mean I was in

44:22

here, who was Sean? I think the other night and it was Friday

44:25

when all hell happened, and he's wearing shorts and stuff. Yeah, I

44:29

have a T shirt on. I mean and when I was on and Friday, it was freezing. Can't decide, ok, jacket and I can just

44:36

keep hearing my grandmother and my grandma Betty, I don't know what you want

44:38

to put a hat on? Put a hat on. And I'm like, okay, take your vitamins because it could be a little tricky. I heard

44:43

those don't work. I I can tell you this personally, and I know

44:47

my body, Like when I take a multi vitamin and I don't feel good,

44:52

it makes me feel better immediately, immediately, immediately. No, that's

44:55

psychological. Immediately. I've always told you that I am good. I am

45:04

the best person for a placebo uh unbelievable test. Yeah, that's excellent.

45:10

I do. I eaten me a multi vitamin for anything, and I'm gonna

45:14

feel better. You have a multi Yeah, that's exactly right. It works.

45:19

No, No, you know what's good for that? Magnesium and we

45:22

are I know we're not supposed to. We're not talking about it. Maybe it ties into the age thing because magnesium is really good for your your your

45:31

health of your like bones and stuff. We are we are all deficient in

45:36

magnesium. We should call it take Yes, exactly, you need the like

45:39

the lubricant in those joints because we start to get older. That's right.

45:44

How is the aging for you so far? I'm not and I gotta be careful when I ask a woman that, But I mean, you are right.

45:49

I did well. You know, I was doing yoga this morning,

45:52

and that is the fountain of youth in my opinion. Meditation and yoga.

45:55

I've been doing it for you know, twenty five thirty years and been a

46:00

teacher. It's it really is so much, even beyond stretching. It is

46:04

like you get lost in You get lost and you get out of your head

46:07

for a second. And sometimes they just say no, just say no,

46:15

no, Yes, that's right. This is the natural way. But I

46:20

feel like if I didn't do yoga and meditation daily that I would be aging

46:24

a lot worse. I've had weird back issues once I hit fifty two exactly

46:32

A cortisone shot I had, but for some reason that has worked its way

46:38

through my body and I don't have any more pain. And I the only

46:42

thing I can attribute to is you know, I'm a vegan, so I

46:45

I eat plant based, I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, tons,

46:50

and I drink a lot of water, and I do yoga and I meditate. Those are the you know, four things that I do in my

46:55

life that makes me feel younger. Now do I like the wrinkles and stuff?

47:00

I'll take it. I'll take it because well, like even like when

47:07

you smile like I, When I smile, it's like, dude, you need lotion like a all the time. I got a lot of stuff going

47:16

on the side by my eyes. We all do is we get once you

47:20

hit fifty. I don't care who you are, You're gonna have wrinkles and

47:23

gray hair and that kind of stuff. But you also gain a lot of

47:28

wisdom. And I posted this on the question was on social media this morning,

47:32

how do you feel about getting older? I've never had so many comments

47:37

on a post in my entire life so quickly. I think there's over seventy

47:40

comments or something, and a lot of them say the same thing. I

47:45

mean. I told Jandy Fingers just that it sucks. But what's the alternative

47:49

is that getting older? Yeah? He was such a good guy or something.

47:55

Yeah, or he was a jerk. But either way the answer that

47:59

the it was past tense. That's right, Yeah, I want to be

48:02

present tense future. But a lot of the comments, because I was prepared

48:06

for it to be negative, a lot of the comments were I feel great,

48:10

wiser, I've got yeah, and some of them and I feel I

48:15

really feel like this. In many ways, you take better care of yourself

48:21

as you get older because you realize it that I realize you sneeze, you

48:25

can crack her. For me before, I had an office chair that slipped

48:31

out from under me. And this has been probably fifteen years ago. I

48:36

kid you not. I went to sit down and it just moved a little

48:39

bit, and as I went down, I you know, I didn't want

48:42

to fall on the floor, so I like stopped and my body went no,

48:45

and my back flexed, and then I had to go like get stuff

48:50

worked on on my back that quick and then I jacked up my knee moving

48:52

like an ottoman. Once you just had to pick it up. Even laying

48:57

down in bed just sleeping sometimes are like, oh man, what did that

49:01

happen. That's the hardest part of the aches and pains is what everybody's saying,

49:06

and I am in complete agreement of that. Absolutely, you got to move your body. You have to move it or you will lose it.

49:12

You know, my grandmother that all the time if you're if you don't use

49:15

it, you'll lose it. And she's like yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I mean doctor Gary Breca, that that that biologist said, you

49:22

know, ten thousand steps a day. I mean it. Don't treat your

49:25

grandmother like, uh, don't tell her to not go outside because it's cold

49:30

and at the first sign of hunger feet er. No, don't let her

49:36

get so hard. Yes, that is a good thing. Well, your

49:44

body has to has to uh get challenged. You can't be so coddled and

49:50

comfortable and and all those things. You have to still get outside and do

49:54

stuff. Yeah, she got to work your muscle in your head to brain.

49:58

Yes, and you got to work muscles and your physical body. Aside

50:00

from that, I think that's all very important. Don't coddle your mother,

50:04

father, your grandparents and stuff. Let them go, let them drive as

50:07

long as they can, let them go out and get their groceries and go

50:12

for a hike, and don't worry about whether they brought a sweater or not

50:15

let their body be uncomfortable. I need a hat because that's where you lose

50:19

your heat. All goes back to that, Alex, are you taking notes

50:22

on this because he's a young and he is it? Alex? How old

50:27

are you? Five? Yeah, so you don't even know what you don't

50:30

know. I used to hate it when people would tell me that. But

50:35

here's the thing. At twenty five, you can say, you know what

50:37

aging from fifteen or from twenty things are different from twenty five to thirty thirty

50:42

five and onward. We all have that. So wherever you fit on that

50:45

timeline, yes, whether you're seventy or whether you're thirty five, or whether

50:49

you're fifty or twenty five, this is what we want to know. How

50:52

are you dealing with aging? How does it feel to be some? I

50:58

mean the obvious that fingers brought up the alternative? So you're here, How

51:02

is it treating you? How are you dealing with it? Is it good?

51:07

Is it bad? Is it is it horrendous? Or is it a positive thing? Five? One, three, seven, four, nine,

51:10

seven, eight hundred the big one. You can get interactive. Also,

51:15

you got the iHeartRadio app. More and more people listen to us there than anywhere else effectively globally, which is insane. It's crazy. Click on the

51:22

microphone, leave a message there. We'll dip into it. I'm on X, not the draw. Calm down, people. It used to be called

51:28

Twitter, but now it's X and you can still get to it by saying

51:30

Twitter. You're never gonna let go of that joke, are you? But

51:35

it's true because I get people in I type in Twitter at work, Sterling

51:37

like, I'm charge. You can type in Twitter and it doesn't right right,

51:42

and I gotta clarify because otherwise people go, dude, is it the

51:44

coffee? Are you actually on X? I'm like, I don't even know. Can you still get that? I'm wholesome and innocent? Not even the

51:49

ways of the world anyway? Is it? Click on the microphone, leave

51:52

it there at Sterling Rady on Twitter. We're on Instagram too. Have you updated that recently? No? No, it's still the same Sterling Dot Donna

51:59

d Dot twenty twenty three got a picture of us today, Yes, yeah,

52:01

do we have. We were also messing with lemons somebody. We have

52:05

citrus food product here from like like real lemons. Yeah, my boss was

52:08

in town and he brought me. He has all these lemon and orange trees,

52:13

and he brought me these four huge ziploc bags of lemons. It's a

52:17

lot of California. When I brought you and Alex some you're gonna se Yeah.

52:21

I took a weird picture. I was like trying to eat it has leaves on him and everything. You don't get those I know in the store.

52:27

I know it. All right. You want to take some calls here

52:29

before the break. Let's take one. Let's do that. We'll take one. You want to get Linda because she's been holding the longest. Linda.

52:34

She's somewhere around Perfect North. Linda. Is she hanging out someplace? You

52:38

know? Hey, Linda, you're with Sterling and Donna d on the Big

52:42

One. Have you seen Jim Scott recently? No. I did talk to

52:46

him once when Nick Gepper was a Perfect North and he could not have been

52:51

nicer. Yeah, he's a good movie. He talked about it at home and back then he said he walked about his entire popery every day. He'll

53:00

be he'll be fronting the Findlay Market parade of Red's opening day here in just

53:06

a few weeks. Time. I know that's not why you've called it. I figured i'd tie it all in together because I'm a professional lesson. Yeah,

53:12

so I'm I am sixty nine, so you don't have to ask how

53:15

old I him. I don't use the word. I never say I am

53:20

old. I am beyond you young. Maybe when I hit ninety, yes,

53:28

praise, I will going to be old. Uh. There's a gentleman

53:31

at a gym who was a UC coach and an NFL coach, actually had

53:37

two Super Bowl rings. He's ninety four and he comes to the gym just

53:44

about every day. He's an inspiration. Exercise Donna. I'm Donna. You

53:49

were talking about yoga. I just decided yesterday that I am going to start

53:53

doing yoga. And you are doing so many of the things that you're supposed

53:59

to being. That's just awesome. But there's a book called Beyond He's young.

54:06

Oh no, it's Younger next year. Sorry, I'm getting I like

54:09

that next year. It is a great book. The Guy. Every other

54:15

chapter is written but the guy who's not a doctor, and the other chapters

54:19

are by a doctor, and it basically describes you've got two ways to go.

54:23

You can pretty much keep healthy and then pull up the cliff at the

54:28

end, or you can slowly go downhill. So yeah, uh, great

54:35

book. Send to you. You can tell I'm so passionate about I can.

54:39

And you sound young? Yeah, I mean no. And Linda,

54:43

feel free feel free to come to my yoga class. I teach a crunch

54:45

at five forty five on Thursday. Come in, come, you can be

54:49

a guest. There you go. Oh where do you teach crunch? Right

54:52

here in Kenwood? Oh okay, thanks for all the info, Linda.

54:58

We're glad you're living well with appreciate it. And that's one of those things that it was my resolution I wanted to do more in the show is to

55:02

help people look better. Yeah you know yeah, no, no, no.

55:06

And she has the right frame of mind too, because she's saying I

55:09

never say that I'm old, and I love that you can say you're you're

55:14

beyond young right when I say it. No if somebody if you think thirty

55:20

was old, I remember being a little kid the year two thousand. I can't even conceive of it. I mean here, you know, no,

55:24

no, I know when when people used to say, well i'm fifty,

55:28

gee, with is your kad? Up there, old bastardlievable. You want

55:30

to take it out the call? Yeah, let's say suck to Bill.

55:34

Bill, you were stirling and down a da. How you dealing with getting

55:36

older? Man? Well, I'll tell you what I love Clen Eastwood.

55:39

He said, you never let the old man in. You keep engaged.

55:44

I've been running my business for thirty years. I'll be seventy two this year.

55:47

And when my dad hit this heart attack when I was thirty eight years

55:51

old, I said, I'm not going to have a heart attack in my sixties. And one thing that I did was go to the doctor Ted Cole

55:57

with the Cole Center for Hearing Killing here and Mason, and he does a

56:00

hair analysis twice a year for me the last seventeen years. And he has

56:06

supplements that I take on a daily basis. That's been part of the success

56:10

that I had. And there's a thing called hotter Roke acid that I've been

56:14

taken when I had bad knees at age fifty five, and I've been overdosing

56:20

on hot the Rik acid the past seventeen years. And I have arthris in

56:23

my hands but you can't tell it. And when I had my knees replaced

56:28

in sixty four. The doctor said, I really find somebody that walks in

56:30

my office with knees that bad. And I said, yeah, they may

56:34

pay him. I mean, but they wouldn't give me shots. But I

56:37

took it holistically, and that's what doctor Cole's about exercise diet. I've been

56:40

working out my forties and early fifties. I was playing racketball two to three

56:45

times a week and then with bad knees, and they discontinued the league.

56:51

So I just started doing working out on my own around about twenty years ago,

56:54

and I like this morning. I have a weight routine where I do

56:59

an up providing workout. If eight machines lifted around twenty pounds at thirty minutes,

57:05

you know, three sets of seventeen and on eight machines, you can

57:08

get a good workout, like literally a good weight workout in twenty minutes.

57:13

You really can, and if you do it at least three days a week. Thanks Phil, that was great, fantastic, Glad you're doing well.

57:17

Yeah, I mean, you can't. Doesn't take that long to get a

57:22

good weight workout, It really does. I mean the impact that you can

57:25

see, even just like walking and trying to walk quickly, and I mean,

57:28

you know, at times like with a dog or otherwise, your chance to get lined up. But we'll get Marcus first, we'll come back.

57:34

We'll take care of some commerce. A quick break. More Sterling and Donnade

57:37

here on the Big One. Reds and Angels three oh five, first pitch

57:40

game two of the Spring from the Desert in Goodyear, Arizona, coming up

57:45

here on the Big One, and we want to know how you're dealing with aging. Whether you're twenty five, thirty five, forty five. We've heard

57:51

from some people significantly beyond that and still seemingly getting better and feeling good,

57:55

which is fantastic, And that that's the trick that's inspiring. Is three seven

58:00

four, eight hundred the Big One. And what's what's the best part of

58:04

it and the worst? And that's the thing I think is the experience and

58:07

the little stuff that may have freaked you out or bothered you years ago,

58:10

you realize is really inconsequential. And I think that is other things, like

58:15

right now, people were all on social media. This happened. So many people are caught up with so many things. You don't really mad, you

58:22

don't care when you have, When I have forty, I stopped caring about

58:25

that stuff like, no, that doesn't it's not even going to be a

58:29

ripple. It's hard to get out of that rabbit hole though. Yes it is for kids, Yeah, it really is so quick break come back five

58:35

three, seven, eight hundred the Big One at Stirling Donnade, The Nation

58:38

Station, seven hundred WLWU. A good day starts with a good morning.

58:45

Here's Laura. Too many Margheritias at Taco night have left her a little queasy

58:50

and bloodshot this morning, but she knows what she needs, plenty of black

58:54

coffee and plenty of Mike McConnell. Good morning, Mike Pepsi with the latest

59:00

news, weather, traffic, in sports. Plus he is sense of humor

59:04

helps her overcome her nausea. Well it kind of done, Miss macau Tomorrow

59:09

morning at five on seven hundred WLW Shrag Donna d Sure hanging out on a

59:15

Sunday Stones. Yeah, they're getting older and most of them are still here.

59:21

And there's talk of another tour and the Hackney Diamonds album which is new,

59:25

and this goes back a ways and in some way, look at Keith

59:29

Richards. Everyone thought he was going to be dead twenty years ago. Bright

59:34

and he just keeps on, keeps on taking. It's like a road chapter

59:37

nuclear test in the Nevada Desert. They get bigger and faster and stronger.

59:42

And here's a reference for the agent, the six million dollar man. Wait,

59:45

can we ask Alex, because Alex, you're you just said you're twenty

59:49

five. First of all, you look eighteen. You have a baby face.

59:52

I get that a lot. Oh my goodness, you are such a baby. Is this causing you PTSD that we're talking about aches? And no,

1:00:00

it's not, you know, and I listening to you guys talk I

1:00:04

started. I mean, being twenty five, I got I'm starting to get

1:00:07

gray hair up top within the past three or four years. So it's something

1:00:13

I've actually been looking forward to. I'm counting the grays. I'm looking forward

1:00:15

to getting older. I've always connected with older people as a kid, growing

1:00:21

up with my with my parents, being around my grandparents. Yeah. Yeah,

1:00:24

just connecting with older people has always been been my mo O. So

1:00:29

I I definitely look forward to getting older. And I don't mind looking young

1:00:34

right now and appreciating that, you know, for what it is. Yeah,

1:00:37

that's great. I mean he is an old soul. Well it's weird.

1:00:42

I don't mean that in a bad way, but I mean it is like some people just have whatever that is. Yeah, I don't know what

1:00:45

it is. You know. The other thing is you see some people and

1:00:47

they look really young for a really long time, and then you don't see

1:00:51

Oh, I saw you at Christmas, and then it's Opening Day and I'm like, the hell happened to you? I mean it's only been a couple

1:00:55

of months. You all right? So I mean I'm not getting making you

1:01:00

Gary. I'm gonna come to you like a you know, a two ton

1:01:02

heavy thing tumbling down on it, like tumbling nice at all. If I'm

1:01:06

at the liquor store, I pull out my ID. It's ready to go

1:01:10

because I know, I know they're an ask do we have time to take

1:01:15

one? Quick one? And Marcus, can you take thirty or forty seconds

1:01:17

and tell you give us what you got? He's calling from Centerville, home

1:01:20

of the Elks by the way here with Sterling and Donade on the big one.

1:01:22

What's up, Marcus? Well, I'll be brief. I look at

1:01:29

old age like the whackam old game. You know, something will go wrong.

1:01:35

Uh, and then you have to learn about it. Why is this happening to me? What can I what do I need to do? Uh?

1:01:43

Moving forward? Et cetera, et cetera. And then everything's everything's fine,

1:01:49

But later anothing else comes. It's true. Yeah, to me,

1:01:53

it's a whack of old game, and I got no problem with it.

1:01:57

You know you again the alternative Marcus, you sound good, appreciate you part

1:02:01

of the show thing. He's kind of right on that in terms of like

1:02:05

first your back, then you fix your back, and then your knee,

1:02:07

and then some you know, something else happens and you just got to do

1:02:10

a regular maintenance. It all goes back to it, just like your roof

1:02:15

and you know, HVAC system or your car and rotating tires and oil changes.

1:02:19

You know, you just keep doing the basic things and you just roll

1:02:22

until you know number one of the number one things you can do. And

1:02:25

I said, this is breathing in terms of yes, focusing on extra close

1:02:31

to the microphone, focusing on lengthening the breath. Lengthening Indeed, you notice

1:02:37

a difference. Yes, of course, if you do it too much,

1:02:40

you hyperventilate and pass out. You got your body it's just a self protection

1:02:44

1:03:24

Weather News Radio, seven hundred WL. Cincinnati health experts sounding the alarm this

1:03:32

weekend over measles with the one thirty report. I'm Sandy Collins breaking now measles

1:03:37

cases increasing across the country. Once eliminated as a health threat twenty years ago,

1:03:45

it's back. The most recent outbreak. A half a dozen cases reported

1:03:49

elementary school in Florida just this week. Nationwide, more than twenty cases have

1:03:53

been reported. Many of those experts are now encouraging parents to know the signs

1:03:59

of symptoms of the disease as this outbreak continues because it is so contagious.

1:04:03

ABC's Rena Roy has more nationwide, the CDC now reporting a total of thirty

1:04:09

five measles cases in fifteen states. Measles is highly contagious and spread through the

1:04:14

air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Symptoms may include fever, cough,

1:04:18

runny nose, watery eyes, and a rash of red spots. In

1:04:23

rare cases, it may lead to pneumonia, encephalitis, or even death.

1:04:28

Measles can also cause neurological complications in children in rare cases. The World Health

1:04:32

Organization says that the number of cases last year is up seventy nine percent from

1:04:38

the year before. The infections here are coming from outside the US. That's

1:04:43

great. Now. The latest traffic end weather together on the Big One,

1:04:46

great day to get out there and drive. Watch for motorcycles. That's just

1:04:50

a personal a plea for me because so many are going to be out today,

1:04:55

enjoying this beautiful weather. Looking at the road conditions. Don't see any

1:04:59

1:06:06

the focus of a new measure they're considering in that state a Senate to create

1:06:11

a state wide alert system for adults who may be in immediate danger through abduction

1:06:15

or other violence. The new legislation sponsored by Democratic state Senator David Yates of

1:06:19

Louisville. Aschante was a young woman that had been adducted. She was over

1:06:27

the age of seventeen, and she had been abducted and taken hundreds of miles

1:06:30

across the United States, and there was no way for the different states the

1:06:33

regional areas to communicate. So they did expansion similar to the Amber Alert system.

1:06:39

So this is called the Ashante Alert System. It's sent at Bill forty

1:06:42

five. It could also trigger alerts for human trafficking victims and missing adults in

1:06:45

danger. The measure now goes before the House for consideration and Red's update reds

the iHeartRadio app down number one for podcasting seven hundred WLW and iHeartRadio stations always

1:07:24

share. She actually said there's nothing cool about getting older. Nothing. I

1:07:31

disagree with her. I don't like to know how much she's spent on the

1:07:33

surgery she's done, because she never had the joke or face that a lot

1:07:38

of people have when they get some work done. She's got. I mean

1:07:42

she's seventy seven. I mean, how old is share? I mean that

1:07:45

sounds fine, she's somewhere around that age. She's my she's my a lot

1:07:50

of seventy like my mom's age. Yeah, so she's stating to thirty six

1:07:57

year old guy. My mom mentioned that a while back, and I said,

1:08:00

you know, and I said, I meant to mention this to Donna, and I said, I said, nope, don't take it. This

1:08:04

is the wrong way. Mom, but I can't imagine, like at this

1:08:09

point going out with the woman who's my mom's it. It seems a little

1:08:14

weird to me. And it's in my twenties. There's no way in hell,

1:08:16

no way. But I mean you can't. I mean, I'm not judging the love. I'm sure it's love and not the money. And maybe

1:08:21

it is a little bit of the fame. But yeah, a little bit

1:08:24

of the fame, I'm sure, and you know, get getting into all

1:08:27

the front front row and all the parties and stuff like that. Maybe I

1:08:30

don't know she looks, but she's also an amazing talent. Yeah, Sonny

1:08:38

and Share show. I remember watching that as a little kid. Yeah,

1:08:40

she in some way, she looks better now than when she Thank you for

1:08:44

saying that. I don't want to be a jerk, you know what I mean. No, I'm not. No, I mean, you know,

1:08:50

if I had her on the show was she was a brilliant actress and won

1:08:55

the Oscar incredible moon moonstruck And when she's started getting getting botox and stuff,

1:09:02

she lost rolls because they couldn't her face was frozen so they couldn't see emotion

1:09:08

on her face. The weird thing when you see people doing the work,

1:09:11

I don't you see the face and you're okay, And then you see the

1:09:15

neck, the neck and the hands, and I'm like the neck in the

1:09:17

hands, say too much about it. You can't do anything with your neck.

1:09:24

I don't think we hold it back. I don't know. I don't

1:09:30

know how it works. I want to look long enough to find out.

1:09:33

But I tell you I I can't talk too much about it because I'm getting

1:09:38

up there too. It goes back to fingers. What else is there?

1:09:43

Theative is or that's right thrown out there like in Lebowski, and hope that

1:09:50

you're down up wind rather than in the bosom of the Pacific Ocean. That

1:09:55

would be me right, Yeah, bring me home. That's all I'm trying

1:09:58

to say. We've got a couple more calls on this A. And here's

1:10:00

the question if you're just joining us, by the way. Sunday afternoon, Stirling Donna d Red's Baseball Cactus League action with the Angels from their complex in

1:10:08

Goodyear. That is, at the Red Place. You get to Tommy thraw

1:10:12

in company. I'm not sure who's with him today playing in those sea through

1:10:15

pants. Oh yeah, I heard you with Rocky talking about you seem very

1:10:17

very enamored with the clarity. They don't like it. They don't like their

1:10:21

uniforms. And I asked Rocky, who's been a professional athlete, whether you

1:10:26

have to be comfortable in your uniform Obviously he said, I could talk eight

1:10:30

hours on this conversation. But they don't like their uniforms. They think that

1:10:33

that the they're too thin and they're see through, and they are. We'll

1:10:38

see how they We'll see how that goes. I mean, was that going

1:10:41

to hurt radio ratings throughout the season if they don't get it fixed? Because

1:10:44

people are going to be looking, you know what I mean? Fallpark's going to be full. A lot of people with binocular might be some of that,

1:10:50

a lot of weirdness. Man five one, three, seven, four,

1:10:53

nine, seven, eight hundred. The big, one simple question,

1:10:56

and I think we all deal with it. We got other stuff to get

1:10:58

to too instead of also some or ragnet issues. But just how do you

1:11:01

feel about getting older again? The alternative is what we know the alternative is,

1:11:05

and it eventually we all but are you hating it? Are you?

1:11:09

Are you okay with it? Do you feel grateful? Every I feel like

1:11:12

you're looking at me, you're asking me across the bored from that. That's

1:11:15

true. I don't feel bad about it. I even heard you comment on

1:11:19

this yet. I feel good. I do. I feel great. I

1:11:23

feel I feel fine, mantra, I feel good. I feel great.

1:11:29

The only thing it is, uh, you know. It might be partially

1:11:31

because I drink too much coffee and I drink a whole lot of water to

1:11:35

stay hydrated, and you can't cut that off early enough to where it later

1:11:41

on. Maybe I need to see a doctor. Is a man of a

1:11:44

certain age, you got to get up and go a few times unless you

1:11:47

want to wear you don't or a catheter. And I don't need any No,

1:11:54

that don't. So I need to go, you know, see if

1:11:57

there's I don't know. Well, you cut your coffee in half, but

1:12:00

it's so good. No, it's not that good. You can't. You should not be drinking that much. Well, how much is too much?

1:12:05

Well? I think one to two cups a day is plenty. That's like

1:12:10

a gallon. It's it's a lot. So bad, you're let's talk to

1:12:15

Franklin Wayne on seven hundred w W A Sterling and Donny how you doing with

1:12:19

getting older? Is it all right? Am I drinking too much coffee?

1:12:23

I mean, how many times do you go to bathroom at night? I mean there's a lot of questions we don't need to get into all of the

1:12:27

way, no pressure, what's going on? Well, I drink one to

1:12:30

two pots a day of coffee. I'm with you, and uh yeah,

1:12:34

I do go a lot. But my biggest yes, I've always I've always

1:12:41

been very active and art the rights is now my biggest. Yeah. Yeah,

1:12:49

I know, I know it is and that and that's what what happens

1:12:53

when we get older. But do you try some yoga? I'm telling you

1:12:57

it is the fountain of youth, the guru, I mean it, I

1:13:01

mean it, it's it's really it's important to lengthen and stretch out your muscles

1:13:06

and breathe and even if you don't want to go take a class, which

1:13:10

Donna does teach them and so forth, and she's trying to get me there.

1:13:13

I don't know if you do like the hot rock thing or they get those glasses they put on you, but that's a massage thing. That's much

1:13:16

yoga. Yeah, but you can go. Yeah, I'm I'm with you.

1:13:24

Uh. The thing is like early in the morning on CET or if

1:13:27

you're up in the Dayton area, think TV. You can watch a variety

1:13:30

of different types of yoga done. And even if if you're like much older

1:13:35

or immobile, you can sit in a chair and they show you how to

1:13:38

do that too. And what a drastic difference is No, and and Wayne,

1:13:41

I'll just tell you this. Your body loves your attention, right,

1:13:45

so it waits for you to pay attention to thrilling his laugh. Weget me.

1:13:50

I went to an after dark place. I okay, I'll stop,

1:13:58

but I'm just saying, the more you pay attention to it, it gives

1:14:01

you clues some stuff. And where you where you are? I got to

1:14:05

get remarried to myself whatever it's Yeah, it's all all starts with yourself anyway.

1:14:11

Way, we appreciate the call. We can't go there right now.

1:14:13

I mean, let's be honest, what are you doing in there? Wayne, Shirley, what are you doing? I'm sure it's the same with girls

1:14:18

too, right, Oh no, it's not the same girls. No,

1:14:23

all right, I mean I don't know. Call weird. We did.

1:14:28

We did take another call. I mean, if you don't use it,

1:14:30

you lose it, right, It's exactly my point. Every aspect of life,

1:14:33

your brain, head to toe, yes, head to toe, yep,

1:14:35

head to toe. Skip to Mason Russell seven hundred WL w Is Sterling

1:14:40

and Donnade. How is it getting older whether you're twenty five, thirty five,

1:14:44

fifty five or ninety five. Maybe, Well, we're kicking it harder

1:14:47

and harder every day. And great topic, really one of the best I've

1:14:51

I've heard, you know on the radio. But I grew up here in

1:14:55

Cincy and I'm in Florida and come back and forth. I'm up here now

1:14:59

for a couple of weeks, but I'll keep it short and for your listeners

1:15:02

that are interested, you know, there's a lot of research you can do

1:15:04

on it. But you know, your liver and your kidneys provide, you

1:15:12

know, the powerhouse of energy for your body, right because we're basically walking

1:15:15

swimming pools you know, made mostly sixty percent of water. So a lot

1:15:20

of people don't know this. But if you and you can look it on

1:15:26

online, it's easier to do the research. And that's that's how I would

1:15:29

try to direct people to it. But lemon juice from you know, organic

1:15:34

lemons, preferably the first thing in the morning. Lemon juice actually turns completely

1:15:40

alkaline, because we're either alkaline or acidic, and it's not a chemistry lesson.

1:15:45

So I'll keep it simple, but thank you. The first thing in the morning. If you get about a half a lemon squeezed into a cup

1:15:51

of water mixed with warm water and you drink that, lemon juice activates your

1:15:59

liver and times more than any any chemical compound on the planet. So what

1:16:03

happens is, you know, you guys are talking about people not really having

1:16:09

the energy first of all, to exercise and to do the things that you

1:16:12

should do. And if they can elevate that energy level, that's a real

1:16:15

good start. And if you look up alkalinity diets or anything on lemon like

1:16:23

elixirs, and let me tell you, when you hit a half glass of

1:16:28

lemon water throws the cinnamon ms mapple cider vinegar. But you're you're taking a

1:16:32

bowl you know, right in the head. It's powerful. It is powerful.

1:16:36

Yeah, Russell, First of all, I'm so glad you brought that

1:16:40

up, because most people think that lemons are acidic and they're not. They're

1:16:43

alkaline. And when the when your body is acidic, it gets inflamed,

1:16:46

and that's when you get all the crazy stuff happening too. Your knees,

1:16:50

your back, you're you're this and that. Lemon water in the morning,

1:16:54

and I just brought Alex and Sterling a big thing of organic lemons from California

1:16:59

for the lemon water in the morning. I cannot believe you just brought this

1:17:02

up, Russell. It's pretty impressive, it really is. Russell, thanks

1:17:05

for the call on the insight. You know what's funny, and maybe it's

1:17:09

just by happenstance, is that. And I backed off of the lemon juice.

1:17:14

I again, it was, hey man, I'm going a lot. And then someone says you drink a lot of lemon water, don't you,

1:17:18

And I go yeah, and I go coffee, I go yeah, and then go plain water, go yeah. This is one of the one What

1:17:23

do you think is that you're flushing your system constantly? That's right. So

1:17:27

I backed off the lemon but I will start just like Russell mentioned in the

1:17:30

morning, with a big it's probably twenty twenty four ounces of water then and

1:17:34

then I'll make this is the mistake, and I do it because I'm slow.

1:17:38

Yeah, because I rode the little yellow bus to school. Donna either

1:17:42

that or I'm just a glutton in the morning. About seven o'clock or whatever

1:17:45

it is, the dog's like, let's go, yeah, and he's not happy with the yard. We'll go out for a walk after I pound that

1:17:49

water. Yeah. And then about a half mile to a mile from the

1:17:53

house, I'm like, oh, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta

1:17:56

go, and the dog's like, no, you know, we're not even halfway home yet, and I'm like, yeah, you gotta be careful of

1:18:01

that. Gotta be smarter than the pink salt in your water too, water

1:18:05

and lemon, and then it helps absorb. I have some of that mine.

1:18:11

She just gave me a big thing of the pink soul. That's fantastic.

1:18:14

Rustles mentioned that we gotreat Carol of Bob Mark. Others coming up.

1:18:17

Your chance to get interactive. We'll talk on aging. There's some other stuff

1:18:20

to get to all before two thirty pre game. Davyd arm Brewster out in

1:19:40

Garden Show presented by this indo. But he's got a throat problem and the

1:19:43

tours on hold tucking. Steven Tyler Aerosmith supposed to have been out with the

1:19:46

Black Crows, but they're going to do a solo thing. I'm filled with

1:19:48

this information stuff. Okay, So hold on Black Crows in Aerosmith. That

1:19:54

was supposed to be the tour was supposed to be here. I think it

1:19:56

was this winter spring after the New year, right, and he blew out

1:20:00

his throat or something like that. It was supposed to be last month. Okay. So Black Crows got a new record of their own, and they're

1:20:04

going to be out doing their thing on their own. And I guess whenever

1:20:08

Steven Tyler gets his throat fixed up, they'll go out and do it together.

1:20:13

I am a huge Black Crows man. Oh absolutely, what a great

1:20:16

man. Unbelievable, incredible, And I've seen him in small places and in

1:20:20

big places and outdoor places over the years. I've seen him way more than

1:20:25

a lot of people probably would imagine, because I mean I had time and

1:20:29

it was work. Yeah, and first yeah, just amazing. By the way she's down a d I'm sterling this seven hundred WLW that's the weird thing

1:20:36

about aging is Steven Tyler. I don't No one punched him in the throat

1:20:40

that was singing. The strain of his voice apparently did horrible things to his

1:20:46

throat that had like broke and it wasn't it was right, It wasn't vocal

1:20:51

cords. It was something else. But it was almost like somebody throat punched

1:20:56

him, but they didn't. Oh my gosh. I have so much compassion

1:20:58

because I've had vocal cord surgery. I use my voice all the time,

1:21:01

and I can't stand when I talk and no words come out. There's really

1:21:06

weird. I can't understand the words that you're saying sometimes, so it's so

1:21:13

bad, uh sometimes, So I have a lot of compassion for people that

1:21:16

have vocal cord. You see it not only in singers, but coaches and

1:21:21

people that scream and gymnastics and you see all kind teachers and and it is

1:21:28

painful. And you know the other thing that's becoming more of an issue,

1:21:30

uh, in common for younger and younger people because of listening to music and

1:21:36

spoken word content with the earbuds in headphones, and there's a whole lot of

1:21:43

people looking to get you know, some type of hearing aid or assistance or

1:21:46

some type of fix, because they're blowing up their ears way earlier, not

1:21:49

even just tonight. Is where you hear that ringing and that fuzz like,

1:21:53

yeah, you know what it is? Or those earbuds there, yeah,

1:21:56

those are those are the ones. I've actually had my hearing tested. So

1:21:59

A likes good news. I've been in radio for thirty years and I have

1:22:02

good hearing, so good. There you go. You got to worry about

1:22:06

the tone deafness, Yeah, yeah, because then you can have something My

1:22:10

grandmother used to do. This'd you'd be in the dining room in one part

1:22:13

of the house. In the other part of the house, you'd be talking

1:22:16

normal. She'd be like, oh, that's not really the way ashould come

1:22:18

through walk through. I'm like, what are you talking about it? But you'd be right in the room and saying stuff and she'd be like oblivious.

1:22:24

I'm like, and is that just ignoring me part of the time or is

1:22:26

there a tone deafness thing? And then she's like, no, what's tone

1:22:28

deafness? I you know. I'm like, I don't think so. I think you're maybe just tired of hearing my crap. I don't know. Sometimes

1:22:33

when you age, sterling, your eyes go, your ears ago, your

1:22:38

voice goes. I mean sometimes you just do what you gotta do, do

1:22:42

what you gotta do. Let's get to date and Carol, not the high

1:22:44

school, but Carol who's in Dayton. Bob Mark Jack will try to get everybody get about a minute each. Give you a chance to sound off here

1:22:48

about getting older. What's going on, Carol? Okay, Hi, today

1:22:54

it's my sixth fifth birthday. Happy birthday. Well, thank you very much.

1:22:59

But guess what I did today? Well, I walk ten miles and

1:23:04

then I went and rode my horses. Oh my gosh, Carol, good

1:23:10

for you. Unbelievable. Yeah, getting older is not that bad. I

1:23:15

love it. I think part of that is how you approach it mentally,

1:23:19

and also what you're doing and who's around you, because I mean it is

1:23:23

partially a state of mind, right, and how you approach it. Well,

1:23:27

I always sit there and I wake up and I say thank you God

1:23:30

for letting me have a day. I'm still here, yes, yeah,

1:23:32

And you know what else, you're in nature and you're around animals, and

1:23:35

you're walking ten miles a day is fantastic and I'm a big walker two and

1:23:42

just just continuously doing it daily. Is gonna you use it? You're not

1:23:47

gonna lose it. Oh yeah, I've been doing it for ever. I

1:23:51

mean, and you sound I mean vital and in it. And you're listening

1:23:56

to the Big One getting interactive with us riding horses. You could even listen

1:23:59

to what there which may or may not be good for you. I don't know. Appreciate the call. Thank you for album more here quickly before the

1:24:04

news, Bob, what's up? You were sterling and donnadee. Oh,

1:24:08

I just wanted to tell you something positive I did to get back to a

1:24:13

healthier situation. When I was sixty five, I ran the and I ran

1:24:19

a marathon once a year. So sixty five I ran the Flying Pig Marathon

1:24:28

and my foot was killing me, and I went to orthopedic and the bad

1:24:34

news was that was our fritis in the Big two. So they told me

1:24:40

I couldn't do anything. Well I didn't kind of like that, but I

1:24:44

did take up yoga and some other stuff. But then I contacted can I

1:24:49

say the doctor's name, okay, Henry Stein with Deacon Orthopedics, and he

1:24:57

said, I had a fifty to fifty chance, and so we did a

1:25:01

stem cell and it took the stem cells out of my left hip and guess

1:25:08

what it worked? Oh yeah, back to run A good thing. That's

1:25:13

fantastic news, Bob. I hate to be short, but great information. That's fantastic it is. I don't like needles, but I'd take a good

1:25:18

I would do that in a second. On a second. It's good to

1:25:21

Florence and Mark. You got about good for him? Absolutely? What about

1:25:27

getting order? Mark? Yeaes sir, Hey Stirling, Donna, Hey,

1:25:30

I just wanted to say, Hey, I wouldn't want to go back and live any of my life. Uh, it's on, you know. I

1:25:35

just think life is kind of tough and I wouldn't want to do any of

1:25:40

it again. But I'm telling you I need to move forward too, So

1:25:44

man, I'll just be flattered, honest with it. I'm lost with it.

1:25:46

Just just trying to do the best I can. But uh, none

1:25:50

of it's easy enough. Hey, Donna, I just want to ask you

1:25:54

one quick thing. If someone has bad knees, if yoga, anything that

1:25:59

they could eat, then try My knee has gotten sore over the last three

1:26:03

or four years. I'm fifty seven. Yeah, and yoga, I mean,

1:26:08

is that anything that even would be worth my considering with knees that are

1:26:12

bad. That's a great question. And thank you for being so honest,

1:26:15

because it's it's always it's always scary to get older. We don't know what's

1:26:19

going to happen. But I feel the same way, and I wouldn't want

1:26:21

to go back any other period in my life and relive that as well.

1:26:25

So I absolutely love that answer. The answer is yes, yoga. I've

1:26:29

seen miracles happen with yoga. You do have to practice it daily. There

1:26:32

are things you can do. Rest is an acronym. It's I mean rice,

1:26:40

rest, ice, compression, and elevation, and it really does help.

1:26:43

Put your knees on some pillows and put some ice on there, baby, if you have if you have a part of your body that needs that's

1:26:49

sore and hurts and doesn't feel good, baby, put some ice, put

1:26:54

some heat, put it up, rest it, wrap it up. Compression

1:26:58

and if you lay on your side, get one of those things the pillow whatever to sort of block that to sure. Thank you so much. She's

1:27:03

1:27:17

We're already late. I'm sorry. Here, here's the simple question.

1:27:20

Can a man? Can guys have female friends that are just friends? Or

1:27:26

1:28:09

he would move a set of four appropriations bills forward as a single package ahead

1:28:14

of the first deadline Friday, while Democratic House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffrey said again

1:28:18

the Democrats are willing to find common ground on legislation, including ways to keep

1:28:54

According to our Total Traffic Network, it's about a thirty three minute delay

it was coming. She says she is going to stay in the race despite

1:30:03

by the AT and T outage last week are getting a little small maya culpa

1:30:08

an apology, a five dollars credit to customers affected by the outage, which

1:30:13

lasted for several hours on Thursday, including yours. Truly couldn't get in the

building. This outage was caused by a technical error due to quote the application

1:30:21

and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network it was

1:30:28

not a cyber attack, they say. The telecom provider said Friday that those

1:30:33

credits will be coming to accounts. Some people online are not happy, saying

1:30:38

it's not really worth it. College basketball Bearcats fall to TCU seventy five to

1:32:29

With a three h five first pitch davit a Armbrewster with the pregame coming up

1:32:31

after the news at two thirty five. So, yeah, I mentioned this

1:32:36

before the break, and you were talking about this thing with Steve Harvey that

1:32:43

you had seen or heard and talking and this is it gets deep and I

1:32:47

think a lot of people have had issues with this. Well, he talks

1:32:50

about it all the time and he you know, he's married. This this

1:32:54

his second wife. And he was being interviewed by a beautiful woman and he

1:33:00

said, I don't have female friends. And she said, you don't have

1:33:04

one woman friend? And he said, no, I don't because he he

1:33:09

said, let me just tell you. Men cannot be friends with women because

1:33:13

they're always thinking about you know what, even if they're married, even if

1:33:18

they're got you know, significant other and they're completely happy. Why would you

1:33:24

put yourself in that position to be friends with women? And I have And

1:33:29

I'm just going to tell you what because because I have male friends that I

1:33:40

have no intentions on ever being with other than just having a friendship, you

1:33:45

know. But if you ask them what's in their head, I can tell

1:33:49

you right now I would know if there was anything that any other Yeah,

1:33:57

I think I would know. What do you what do you think? Uh?

1:34:01

Here, here's what's interesting my observation or hallucination. And I'm not gonna

1:34:09

say this as me, but it's probably me that upon interacting with anyone of

1:34:15

the opposite sex, upon an introduction walking through the mall, if you're a

1:34:20

Kenwood town Center wherever it is, you size up that person immediately. Uh.

1:34:27

And we talked about like safety security in all exit strategy and all this

1:34:30

other stuff when you were asking me about out in the world. But you

1:34:33

also you find you immediately know within a couple of seconds are you attracted or

1:34:38

are you not attracted? In whatever? You know. I'm not saying,

1:34:41

oh, do I have a shot or not to have a shot, but

1:34:44

you you certainly you're either in a situation where you go, yeah, okay,

1:34:48

yeah, she's pretty hot or not hot, or I could see it

1:34:51

or not see it. And I've had friends that are female that are just

1:34:56

friends. I've ruined some friendships by mixing other things right. And I had

1:35:02

two different ex's who said, well, I don't think that. How can

1:35:05

you just be friends with her? What I've had female friends? And then

1:35:10

I go the opposite, but you have guy friends. How am I supposed

1:35:13

to trust you if you're telling me you don't trust me with the female friends

1:35:16

that I that's a good analogy in terms of you know, but you're always

1:35:21

going to be yeah, if you're if you're attracted to somebody, there might

1:35:25

always be an attraction to them doesn't mean you can't. It doesn't mean you

1:35:29

can't control yourself. And I think what Steve Harvey is saying instead of men

1:35:34

can't be friends with women, you can't. He can't exactly, and he

1:35:40

doesn't want to tempt himself, right, that's what I think he's like that,

1:35:45

right, former vice president, he didn't ever want to be alone with another woman unless his wife was there or someone else was around. Now,

1:35:49

whether it was the idea that there could have been impropriety thought of, or

1:35:54

maybe he didn't trust himself in whatever urges, I mean, I don't know,

1:35:57

and I may be mistaking what I grasp from what had been reported in

1:36:01

the past and even in interviews with him. Yes, I mean I thought

1:36:05

was what you just described as Steve Harvey's like, man, you can't,

1:36:08

you can't control yourself? What is the wife not trust you? I mean,

1:36:11

you know, what do you do? I think it's a lack of

1:36:15

control on Steve Harvey's part, because I really feel like I love my men

1:36:20

friends. I love them, and I get a different perspective when I talk

1:36:25

to him about something. Do you have more male friends than female friends?

1:36:28

No? Okay, I got to I love men, but I gotta have

1:36:30

my ladies. I mean, my women friends are the most important things,

1:36:33

including three of my sisters that we talk to every day. So I couldn't

1:36:38

live without my women friends. But my male friends are very important to me

1:36:43

and I have had them for years and years and there has never been anything

1:36:48

but friendship and like partnership, like you know, not to be corny,

1:36:55

but like a soulmate in a different way. You don't have to always have

1:36:59

some romance relationship with with somebody in your life. You can just put them

1:37:02

in a a friend zone. Absolutely. What are you laughing at it?

1:37:10

Oh? I totally get that. It can be fluid and change it has

1:37:14

it can be right. What's the ever last song? He says? We went from lovers to friends, we can maybe go from friends back to love

1:37:20

like that. That's right and that has happened to me before. True,

1:37:25

and I was like, eh, better, we're better at friends. I

1:37:28

don't regret anything, but I think we can just go back to being friends.

1:37:32

That's happened to me. I think if you have trust issues, one,

1:37:38

if your person that you're with has exhibited behaviors or you've had experience where

1:37:43

they've not been as committed as maybe you would hope or thought in that environment.

1:37:46

Then maybe there's something or if you're insecure, it could be that you

1:37:50

in fact have those urges or once or can't control yourself and you figure that

1:37:55

your partner can't handle it. Also, right, my observation or hallucination.

1:38:00

But I'll tell you this. Yeah, and you've talked about your ex husband

1:38:02

and how you're still friends. Yes, I don't know how friendly you are

1:38:05

comparatively, but I will say that I am friends with some of my exes,

1:38:11

some others not so much, one or two for some specific reasons where

1:38:15

I'm like, well, clearly you know there was a trust that was lost.

1:38:17

Yes, and I can't trust you as a friend, let alone something

1:38:20

more. Yes, Right, that's when you have to go do your own

1:38:24

thing. I no longer have a space in my life for you anymore.

1:38:29

Right, go ahead. No, I'm very good friends with my ex husband,

1:38:33

always have been, and also my ex boyfriend who are both out in

1:38:36

California and are friends too. I mean, it's weird in California. Everybody

1:38:43

gets to be friends with other people's friend. I was friends with his girlfriend

1:38:46

and my exes and stuff. So I think it's nice when you can say,

1:38:51

listen, we've spent eighteen years of our lives together, let's just never

1:38:57

not have each other. I'm always going to be here. You need me,

1:39:00

sure, the most important person in somebody else is a long time, for a long time. So I mean, I understand when there's some people

1:39:05

you do have to let go, but because they're toxic and they don't serve

1:39:11

you anymore. But we'll give you a chance to sound off on this too,

1:39:13

because it's a very em from the ladies too, because please, I

1:39:15

love it when the women call, and it's nice to have you here to

1:39:17

balance arguably me out. I guess five one, three, seven, four

1:39:21

ninety seven, eight hundred, the big one I sound less lesserus. Is

1:39:25

it okay if you're if you're in a relationship, married and or otherwise,

1:39:29

as Sterling would say, and you have men friends, is that okay?

1:39:34

Like is your husband cool with that? I mean, I've I've had an

1:39:38

ex that many male friends, and I was okay with all of them.

1:39:42

And there maybe there was a window of time where I was maybe a little

1:39:44

insecure for some other reasons about stuff. And yeah, little creeped out. Part of it was like rockstar ex boyfriends that they were friends with, and

1:39:51

I'm like, yeah, yeah, okay, I don't know about that.

1:39:55

I don't know about his friends. Run right, It's weird in that fashion.

1:39:59

On the other of it, I have I think of two long term,

1:40:06

very very good female friends that have said, hey, why have we

1:40:12

not Let's just do this and we can still be friends. And in the

1:40:15

back of my mind, I go, I don't want to ruin the friendship

1:40:18

because we've had all this time by throwing the other thing necessarily in the mix.

1:40:23

But maybe some classes of wine you maybe, But I mean, because

1:40:26

it changes everything. Unless you can just be just no compartmental that changes everything.

1:40:32

Even if you go back to being friends, it will still you'll still

1:40:36

have that. I mean, here's the thing. Does this necessarily have something

1:40:41

to do with that? No, this has nothing to do with it. It's like working together with someone or in a a lot of people meet their

1:40:45

significant other or their mate, their four friend, girlfriend, husband, wife,

1:40:49

right it working closely together, high stress situations, long hours together,

1:40:53

you find out who they are, You fall in love or like lust whatever,

1:40:57

yes, right, yep, in that type of situation and you go,

1:41:00

well, this has nothing to do with that. But then sometimes you

1:41:03

end up in the office and you find out it may not a minute you

1:41:06

were able to box it off, but maybe that other person wasn't, and

1:41:11

then it gets ugly deep. Yes, I agree, there you go.

1:41:15

I might have read something about that in the past five one three seven that

1:41:18

you wrote five one three seven, seven, eight hundred The Big One,

1:41:23

1:41:29

for an opening day here, which of course are Jim Scott will be the

1:43:14

Uh. I think he's like the Grand Marshals what they call it for the Friendly Market Parade, which just pretty sweet. Yeah for sure. Uh So,

1:43:20

Yeah, it's all going on. We were talking about this relationship situation

1:43:26

and Steve Harvey talking about being friends with female or opposite sex situations, whatever

1:43:32

you're into. Here's what he's had to say. It's a men. I

1:43:35

don't have female friends. I don't. I'm incapable of that. What do

1:43:42

you mean, well, because you know, come on, because you have

1:43:44

a wife. Well, I have a wife and I don't. I don't really have female friends because look, you're an attractive woman. There's some guys

1:43:50

somewhere saying, yeah, I'm we're friends. No, that's not true.

1:43:55

He's your friend only because you have made it outbsolutely clear that nothing else is

1:44:01

happening except this friendship. We have. We remain your friends in hopes that

1:44:06

one day there'll be a crack in the dorms in the open. Trust you

1:44:13

think it's just your buddy, he will slide in that crack. He can

1:44:18

do it because what men see is that true? Or we all dogs like

1:44:26

that? Well, I mean, you tell me, I'm the woman in

1:44:29

the scenario here. Sometimes things happen accidentally, you know what I mean,

1:44:33

like unintended. Yes, but that's not what he was talking about. And

1:44:38

if I'm in a commitment, I'm in a commitment, right, I mean,

1:44:41

you know, unless you have an agreement. Well, you know,

1:44:43

this is this, and that is that, and we're cool. That's and people do that. Grown adult people make those choices. Maybe more and more.

1:44:49

It's not anybody's business necessarily, Not everybody likes to talk about it publicly,

1:44:54

but you know that people have those type of understanding. Harvey kind of

1:44:59

uh said the inside part of that loud because he said, I'm incapable of

1:45:04

it, because if women give me a chance, I'm in there. I'm

1:45:09

in there. And he said, yes, I'm married, Yes, but

1:45:12

he doesn't want to put himself in that situation. Oh, this is great.

1:45:15

This is Christie with Sterling and Donna d what about this? Can you

1:45:18

have friends that are not your committed partner, that are of the opposite sex

1:45:24

or whatever you're into? They're Christy, Absolutely. I work at a restaurant,

1:45:30

Carlos and Johnny's, and I'm the only female of thirty two people.

1:45:36

I look at them as brothers and sons, and they have great respect for

1:45:43

me and they're like family to me. And I do believe that you can

1:45:47

have relationships with the opposite sex and then not go any further. Thank you,

1:45:51

Christy. So I first while I go to Carlo and Johnny all the

1:45:54

time, so I probably know you and I appreciate because a lot of this

1:46:00

is the woman's side of it. We have male friends. We love our

1:46:04

male yeah, and sometimes here's absolutely I'm I getting to a person. You

1:46:09

can say no. But here's my question. I'm just curious, So do

1:46:13

you ever have or have you had a friend with benefits for one of a

1:46:18

better way to describe it, Because there can be a situation if you're not

1:46:21

in a committed thing otherwise where that friend is your friend, but occasionally you

1:46:26

know you have something more romantic, but it is just what it is because

1:46:30

I mean, it takes a mature person to pull that off, and usually one party or the other has a little bit more emotional investment than But you're

1:46:36

like, I'm totally letting Christy answer this. Christy, what do you think

1:46:41

about it? Okay, So I'm an old school and I'm I'm no listen,

1:46:46

I'm traditional and I met my ex husband when I was fourteen. We

1:46:49

gave it for ten years. Oh my god, I was with him for

1:46:53

I was with him for twenty one years. And so I think as you

1:46:56

grow older, you sort of set boundaries as to you know, relationships,

1:47:02

and I don't know. I don't have friends with benefit Sorry, we have

1:47:08

to apologize. I'm just wondering. And that's that's a solid thing, though,

1:47:11

I mean, I appreciate that, thank you. It gets weird with

1:47:13

friends with me and people do it, though I appreciate it. There was

1:47:17

a whole movie written about it. Well, yeah, there's no friends with

1:47:19

benefits. But I'm not that person either. I love Christie's answer on that.

1:47:24

Gotcha. Let's get to uh, Tony, Tony, you were stirling

1:47:27

Donna de what about this? There's a man? Can you can you pull

1:47:30

that off? As a limited liability situation for one of the better way to

1:47:33

describe it well, quick backstory. I was in manufacturing for twenty years,

1:47:40

worked with all men. Also at thirteen years in Army National Guard with all

1:47:45

men, and for the past seventeen years have been a registered nurse working with

1:47:49

all women. Wow, you've had the spectrum. Yes, and my ex

1:47:58

wife really didn't have a problem with it. She was a nurse as well.

1:48:01

But my present wife tells me I need more male friends. I tell

1:48:09

her my friends are the girls I work with and tell me you'll tell me,

1:48:16

oh, your girlfriends. I said, no, they're not my girlfriends.

1:48:19

I'm just one of the bees that that's tremendous thing. And that's see.

1:48:25

And I've heard the same thing from women in my life in the past.

1:48:28

Two were like no, and I'm like, it's definitely a woman's man.

1:48:31

He is absolutely. I would get that from work too if they described

1:48:35

me. But I've also had women that I've been with them said I don't

1:48:40

believe that and they and she goes, well, I guarantee you they're waiting

1:48:43

and I'm like, what does that mean? That's how you are? If you I mean, that's almost one don't hang up on Tony. Tony,

1:48:50

I have a quick question. Do you like working You've worked with men,

1:48:55

all men, and all women. Which one do you like working with better?

1:48:59

I will tell you right now. I do sixty hours a week usually,

1:49:04

and it's not considered work to me anymore. I love what I do.

1:49:09

And uh, I couldn't answer better coworker. That's the right thing you

1:49:15

say, because you got to see him in the next next show or shift.

1:49:17

You gotta do right. I will tell you. We'll I have conversations

1:49:23

at work and I'm like, man, my wife would not appreciate this conversation,

1:49:27

and the girls are like, oh, my husband would hate this conversation

1:49:30

too. I mean, we work in a different world. We're in the

1:49:33

male female anatomy day in, day out. We're talking about there in my

1:49:44

at work, and I thoroughly love your job. An though, I'm sorry

1:49:51

we didn't get to everybody who was holding we apologize. Great show today,

1:49:55

good calls started with Lance, good guests, uh and everything technical difficulties.

1:50:00

We had it all good today. Yeah, you know Lance didn't plot against

1:50:03

1:50:20

hundred w l W, Cincinnati. Another big win for the front runner with

1:50:29

the two thirty report I'm Sean Gallagher breaking now. While former President Trump firmly

1:50:33

won the South Carolina primary Saturday, there are signs of possible trouble ahead,

1:50:38

with some GOP voters saying they would change their minds if he were to be

1:50:41

convicted of a crime. But ABC News political director Reclinent says Trump's base supporters

1:50:45

are not going anywhere. We saw this across issues, whether it's immigration,

1:50:49

whether it's foreign policy, whether it's the economy. Republican voters believe what Donald

1:50:54

Trump is saying. They like what he is talking about, they like him,

1:50:58

and they continue to say that over and over again. And that really

1:51:01

is what it comes down to, is that Donald Trump is popular with his

1:51:03

base. People believe what he's saying, even when it's false. As for

1:51:06

Nicki Haley, she's still refusing to drop out after losing in the state where

1:51:11

she was once governor. Now the latest traffic and weather together right now,

1:53:38

as they take on the La Angels. And thanks for joining us on the

1:53:42

RNL Carriers Inside Pitch on seven hundred WLW. I'm Dave Armbrewster, RNL Carriers

1:53:47

partner with a family owned LTL provider at RLC dot com. Yesterday, the

1:53:54

red shutout the Cleveland Guardians and the Cactus League opener for nothing. The final

1:53:59

score. Will Benson got the scoring underway when he stepped to the plate in

1:54:02

the fourth inning. Now the two onto Benson. Well, this ball is

1:54:08

hammered deep right field. It is way back there and way out of here.

1:54:13

Well, Benson puts the Reds on top one to nothing with his first

1:54:16

blast of the spring. It'll be very interesting to see how David Bell works

1:54:20

Benson into the outfield rotation. Spencer Steeer is going to be in left field.

1:54:26

TJ. Frieda will be in center. Benson and Jake Frehley will share

1:54:30

time in right field, but both are left handed hitters, so this won't

1:54:32

be a platoon situation. So how do they get Benson and freilely enough that

1:54:38

bats. Here's President of Baseball Operations, Nick Krawl. I mean I think

1:54:42

that you know, both can play both corners too, so you know,

1:54:45

Spencer can play the infield as well. There's a DH option as well,

1:54:47

So I think we do have some options there that you're going to be able

1:54:50

to get a lot of guys into games that it might not look on paper

1:54:56

that you know, I've said this about the infield, right. If you

1:54:58

look at the infield and each guy gets twenty days off throughout the course of

1:55:01

the year, and that's twenty d H spots, that's one hundred games started

1:55:04

for somebody else, right, you were going to have injuries on top of

1:55:08

that. So it's going to end up working itself out. It might not

1:55:12

look like that on paper right now because oh as if this is penciled in

1:55:15

every single day, but we all know that's not how it works. Will

1:55:18

Benson, by the way, started in left field yesterday. Hunter Green makes

1:55:23

a start today for the Reds against Angels lefty Kenny Rosenberg. Green was four

1:55:28

and seven last season with a four point eight two ERA. He also missed

1:55:31

seventy one days while on the injured list with a hip injury and then with

1:55:35

COVID. Green averaged just over five innings to start a year ago, and

1:55:40

that is certainly something that he and the entire rotation needs to improve. Only

1:55:45

seven teams got fewer innings from their starters than the Reds did in twenty twenty

1:55:50

three. Green spot in the rotation is solid, of course, but Brandon

1:55:55

Williamson, who will follow Green to the mount today, is still fighting for

1:55:58

a spot on the opening roster. The twenty five year old made his major

1:56:01

league debut last May sixteenth. He ended up throwing in twenty three games for

1:56:06

Cincinnati. He was five and five with a four point four to six er.

1:56:12

Coming up on the show at this afternoon, you will hear from the

1:56:14

Star yesterday's game, Will Benson, plus the stat of the day and a

1:56:18

Hall of Fame highlight. This is the RNL Carriers inside Pitch on seven hundred

1:56:24

WLW. Hey you you look like you deserve a break. What about the

1:56:29

La Angels here at Goodyear ball Park? Thanks for joining us on the RNL

1:56:32

Carriers inside Pitch on seven hundred WLW. I'm Damar, I'm brewster. As

1:56:36

mentioned, Will Benson got the scoring Underway yesterday with a home run the right

1:56:41

field. The twenty five year old Atlanta native was traded to the Reds last

1:56:45

February. Just before camp opened, ken Brew had a chance to talk with

1:56:48

Benson about becoming US Cincinnati. Read when you found out you were coming to

1:56:54

Cincinnati, what was your reaction was? You know, I'm sure you had

1:56:58

friends on that Cleveland team, but opportunity existed in Cincinnati. Maybe that didn't

1:57:02

exist in Cleveland. So when that happened, what were you saying to yourself

1:57:08

to be To be honest, At first, I was I was shocked,

1:57:11

you know, I thought, I mean, I know I was gonna fight

1:57:14

for my position in Cleveland, but you know, I was ready to fight, you know, I was ready to be a Cleveland guardian. But then,

1:57:18

you know, when I got that phone call, I was just like,

1:57:21

whoa you know, And then I was just waiting to hear who he's

1:57:24

gonna tell me I was going to. I was like, but what team

1:57:27

you're gonna say? Like, just don't say a Florida team, you know,

1:57:30

And then he said the Reds and I was like, wow, Like this is awesome. This is down the street, not too far. You

1:57:34

know, and my agent call me. He said the same thing. You just said, Hey man, this is a it's a great opportunity, Ale

1:57:39

do your thing. I was on the phone with Nick shortly after and he

1:57:43

kind of echoed the same thing. Even when I got to the spring training facility. He was like, look, you know, you have a opportunity

1:57:48

to make the team out of out of spring training. So you know,

1:57:51

good luck. You know. Do you think correct me if I wrong?

1:57:55

You two seventy five last year. Yes, that's in a league where average

1:57:59

is tough to get because it's such a power league anymore. Yeah, you

1:58:03

had certainly had power, There's no question about that. So what are you

1:58:08

looking at? I mean, realistically, what would you like to do as

1:58:12

your next step this season? Yeah? I would like to drive in more

1:58:15

runs, I know, like in terms of winning games and being more impactful

1:58:20

on the offensive side. I just like to drive in more runs and put

1:58:24

more runs on the board for us as a unit so we can again just

1:58:27

secure some of these some of these close games, some of these tight windows

1:58:30

where hey, we need to get this win. So obviously that just comes

1:58:33

with driving it runs. I would love to improve, you know that aspect

1:58:38

of my game. And that's just very situational, right that's when guys are

1:58:41

on. Uh, you're not getting too big within the moment, just just

1:58:45

getting the job done for It's no different with nobody on or or someone on,

1:58:48

you know, just get just doing that, you know, there,

1:58:53

I can, I can, I can go on about the things I want

1:58:55

to improve on, but that's mainly it, you know, and being better

1:58:59

on the defensive the end, you know, just just having you know, defensive run and save keeping guys to first base, so that being cutting off

1:59:05

those those balls in the gaps at the right angle, just really being better

1:59:11

with the little detailed things that go a long way time for the stat of

1:59:15

the day. This year's Red Spring Training has won noticeable absence in the person

1:59:19

of Joey Vado for the first time in twenty years. In fact, twenty

1:59:24

twenty four will be the first Red Spring Training without an appearance by Vado,

1:59:28

Barry Larkin or Dave Concepcion since at least nineteen sixty nine. That's fifty four

1:59:32

straight years of at least one of those three players in camp. Of course,

1:59:38

the Reds have many youngsters in camp these days, and any one of

1:59:41

them could be the next long term Red. Could it be Eli de la

1:59:44

Cruz or Matt McClain, or maybe someone we're just learning about this year.

1:59:48

Perhaps in twenty forty we'll be talking about how the Reds have had at least

1:59:51

one of just four players in camp for over seventy years. It sure seems

1:59:57

likely for this tradition rich franchise. I'm Joel lock Up. This is the

2:00:00

RNL Carriers inside pitch sean seven hundred WLW win you need custom exterior. Tomorrow

2:00:08

the Reds half their first foot squad day. Half the team will take on

2:00:12

the Seattle Mariners here in Goodyear. The other half traveled to nearby Maryvale to

2:00:16

play the Milwaukee Brewers. This is the Hall of Fame highlight with Rex historian

2:00:23

Greg Rhodes. Spring training underway and goodyear for the Reds, and as always

2:00:28

we'll be keeping our eye on the injury report. There are, of course

2:00:31

the usual sore arms and tightness that always seem to affect a few players,

2:00:35

but most of those seem to work themselves out. But on occasion there have

2:00:40

been some pretty significant injuries in spring training to position players. Scooter Jeannette and

2:00:45

the polled groin muscle in twenty nineteen that cost him most of the season.

2:00:49

And remember that scary line drive to the head that failed to roll as Chapman

2:00:54

in twenty fourteen, he didn't pitch until May. In two thousand and one,

2:00:59

Ken Griffyjunior pulled a hamstring in the last week of spring training and didn't

2:01:02

start a game until June. In nineteen sixty two, the club starting third

2:01:06

basement Gene Freeze broke his ankle in a nasty slide into second base in an

2:01:12

inner squad game. Of all things, free he'z only wound up playing in

2:01:15

eighteen games. And then how about this nineteen ninety three spring training how Morris

2:01:20

injured his shoulder and missed the first two months of the season, And how

2:01:24

did he do it in a fight? In a brawl? How what were

2:01:28

you thinking? Cleveland pitcher Jose Mesa had given up two home runs in a

2:01:32

row and then threw one over Hal's head, and spring training game or not,

2:01:38

Morris wasn't putting up with that. He rushed the mound and in the

2:01:41

fight wound up with an injured back and wasn't in the lineup until June seventh.

Cincinnati Reds Radio Network. Welcome back to the Reds pregame show time for a

2:07:30

daily chat with Reds manager David Bell. David, certainly good to get a win on day one of spring training and Cactus League action, But probably more

2:07:36

importantly was to see your pitchers not walk a single battery yesterday. Yeah,

2:07:41

it was a good game. A lot of good things happened, some good

2:07:45

defense, quality at bats right, you know, right from the very beginning,

2:07:49

which was great. One of the focuses for us this year was down

2:07:54

more strikes, just to make it easier on ourselves. We have the stuff

2:07:58

we do get to swing in. You know, we had several pitchers had

2:08:03

good years last year, but one kind of a glaring area that we could

2:08:07

really make improvements on was doing all of that within the strike zone more often.

2:08:13

And DJ and the pitching coach staff have made an emphasis made that an

2:08:18

emphasis so far this spring. A lot of our pitchers are talking about it

2:08:22

so forth. To show up like that in Game one was a great way

2:08:26

to start as far as the offense is concerned. To see Will Benson smashed

2:08:31

the home run the way he did yesterday. Hitters are usually a little bit

2:08:35

behind at this point in camp. Good to see the timing there for guys.

2:08:39

Yeah, I mean, are I don't know how it compares to other

2:08:43

teams. But I know our team and a lot of our hitters went into

2:08:48

yesterday it probably felt more like mid spring training, just because of the amount

2:08:54

of live at bats, the amount of work that's happened here in the first

2:08:58

week. But even for that, though, they came in ready to camp.

2:09:01

I'd say ninety percent of our players were here, you know, well

2:09:05

before the reporting date and where there's while there's no like uh, you know,

2:09:13

exact science for you know, when to get here and everything, just

2:09:16

the fact that they're ready to go and the attitude of you know, can't

2:09:20

wait to get this and going. I think it did show up in yesterday's

2:09:24

game. So we have to find ways to continue to get ready and improve

2:09:28

throughout the course of spring training. But it was a good start. We

2:10:41

you talked about the chemistry of this team and how tight they are as a

2:10:45

group, and I think one of the marks of a good team is this

2:10:48

US over me mentality. This team certainly seems to exemplify that. Is that

2:10:54

something that comes from the culture that's built here, or is that just a

2:10:58

product of the quality of players you have. It's everything. I mean,

2:11:03

it's we talk about it being our difference maker. You know, it's there's

2:11:07

no way to put a number on what it what it leads to as far

2:11:11

as wins and losses, but it's just something you inherently know. You know,

2:11:16

you've been a part of great teams and you know what it takes.

2:11:20

I do feel that this group of players in our clubhouse is different than anything

2:11:24

I've experienced along those lines. It's it's just very, very very connected.

2:11:31

Everyone, every single guy in there is committed to, like you said,

2:11:37

being a team, and there's just it's enjoyable. It's a lot of fun

2:11:41

to be a part of a team like that, and you know you can

2:11:45

maximize how good you can be when you have that. When you don't have

2:11:48

it, it's just it's not possible. When you do have it, it

2:11:54

doesn't guarantee anything, but it's a great foundation to start from, and we

2:11:56

absolutely do have it. Most all of that comes from the character of the

2:12:03

individual players, and you know what they're all about and their intentions and why

2:12:07

they're here. Of course, there's an individual element to this game that you

2:12:11

know, you have to be driven by and we acknowledge that, we respect

2:12:15

that, but we can make that part of that. Caring that much about

2:12:20

the team, you just have an advantage and that's what we have right now.

2:18:45

the bases. Malachai Moore, Charlie Ramos and Chris Marlow please as always to

2:18:50

be joined by the Cowboy, Jeff Brantley. I'm Tommy Thraw Cowboy. We

2:18:54

talked about it yesterday, and David Bell talked about it in the pre game

2:18:58

today, But the thing that really stood out of that game yesterday was the

2:19:01

control of the pitching. And boy, it's really nice to hear David Bell

2:19:05

talk about how much of a point of emphasis that is for the pitchers this

2:19:11

year to limit the walks and to do it the way they did without walking

2:19:15

a bat or the Cactus League opener is certainly a great place to start.

2:19:18

Yeah, I think anytime that you're pitching, whether you're at the major league

2:19:22

level or whether you're in high school, the one thing that you do want

2:19:24

to be able to do is command the strike zone. Anytime you walk somebody,

2:19:28

you've given your defensive side no chance at all to be able to make

2:19:31

a play. I think you throw strikes, you keep the ball in the ballpark, and more times than not, you're going to win this that ball

2:19:37

game that's at the hand. Well, it always seems like too, when you have pitchers that are throwing strikes, the defense is just so much more

2:19:43

crisp and clean behind them. I would like to see the research of the

2:19:48

teams that throw the most strikes. Are they the same teams that typically play

2:19:50

the best defense, I would say yes. I think for the most part,

2:19:54

you're trying to keep your infield and outfield engage. The best way to

2:19:58

keep them engage is being able to stay ahead in the count throw strike one.

2:20:03

When you're throwing strike one, everybody's kind of on their toes ready for

2:20:07

the ball to be hit to them. And that's really from a defensive side,

2:20:11

that's what your expectation is supposed to be. Carson Spires threw the ball

2:20:15

well yesterday for the Reds in a starting role with a couple of innings and

2:20:18

piled up some strikeouts over two innings as well, ended up with four strikeouts,

2:20:22

striking out a trio of guardians in the first inning. Hunter Green gives

2:20:26

us our first look at him today. He's a guy that finished the season

2:20:30

pretty strong last year, coming back from the injury. This is going to

2:20:33

be a big year for him to take a big step forward this year.

2:20:37

Yeah, I think that goes back to what we were just talking about command

2:20:41

to the strike zoning, being able to get counts in your favor. From

2:20:45

a pitching standpoint. Look, we all know that that Hunter throws the ball

2:20:48

one hundred miles an hour. We've seen that and talked about that time and time again. Yes, there's some work on a split finger. Yes there's

2:20:54

some work on a curve ball, but ultimately it comes down to command to the strike zone, and that command has to be with the fastball. Hunter

2:21:01

Green will lead the Reds out onto the field. Now, as we get

2:21:03

ready to get this thing started with the commanding of the fastball this year,

2:21:09

it sounds like he wants to work in a couple of new pitches. Yeah,

2:21:15

I'm curveball and split finger. Now, those are things I think that

2:21:18

you work on when you're in the backfields and you're trying to see how the

2:21:24

ball moves as it comes out of your hand. You're trying to get a

2:21:26

consistent release point, not moving your hand away from your head to try to

2:21:31

get that lateral movement. I think a lot of things have to work off

2:21:35

of the fastball if you use That's what this month is for. In spring

2:21:39

train. You're trying to go out there see how the pitch comes out of

2:21:43

your hands, see if you can command it within the strike zone. But

2:21:46

probably more than anything else, Tommy, you're trying to see how the hitters

2:21:50

react to said pitches. When do you start to get a feel for that,

2:21:54

because we talked a lot yesterday, and it's always the case this time

2:21:56

of the spring. The pitchers are ahead of the hitter. So at what

2:22:00

point do you really start to get a pretty good field for how the hitters

2:22:03

are reacting to what you're throwing with regards to their timing. I think you

2:22:07

get a pretty good idea about the comforter comfortability of the pitch as you release

2:22:13

it, and you want to have a good sightline. You want to be

2:22:16

able to see the ball where it's doing the things that you wanted to do,

2:22:20

and you also have to rely on your pitching coach and your catcher.

2:22:24

I think the catcher, if he's really being honest with you, is going

2:22:26

to tell you you might want to work on that a little more than what

2:22:31

you have been before you start to use it in a major league game where

2:22:35

the stats actually go on the back of your baseball car. Well, he's

2:22:37

working with Luke Maylee today. That seems to be a pretty good pairing,

2:22:41

so we'll see how it fares. Today. It's the Reds and the Angels

2:22:43

just about ready for baseball. It is a gorgeous day, pretty good breeze

2:22:46

actually looks like it's blowing in from right field today. That is somewhat unusual

2:22:54

here at Good to Hear Ballpark, we see it blow out quite a bit. But it's a good thing for the pitchers, Yes it is. Indeed,

2:23:00

of course, the Reds with a couple of home runs yesterday, one

2:23:03

of them from Will Benson that landed in the back of that access tunnel out

2:23:07

in right center field. So we'll see how the Reds offense looks today with

2:23:11

a whole new lineup in there. It's the Reds and the Angels. Hope you enjoy it. Let's play digging in to get things started. As Nelson

2:23:16

Rata for the Angels was in low Ay last year, Green ready to go

2:23:22

and the first pitch of the ball game is on the way and Rada swings

2:23:26

and fouls it off to the left side quickly. Nothing in one on Rada.

2:23:30

As we talked about Hunter Green working on a couple of new pitches,

2:23:33

it really seems like that split finger might be something that he may use a

2:23:37

little bit more in lieu of the change up. Here's the on one pitch

2:23:41

to Rata and it swung on and sliced foul down a left field line.

2:23:45

Well. I think most pitchers will tell you. Trying to throw the curveball

2:23:48

slider combination and learning one after the other. Sometimes those two pitches morph into

2:23:56

one. It's difficult to separate the two from a lot of guys. Here's

2:24:00

the two pitch to Rada from Hunter Green, and it's a little bit too

2:24:05

high fastball ninety eight miles an hour, misses upstairs, one ball, two

2:24:11

strikes on Rada two seventy six for Rada last year, a couple of home

2:24:13

runs forty eight knocked in and low a playing out in the California League.

2:24:18

Here's the pitch and Rada misses down and in or Rota takes down and In

2:24:22

checked his swing and didn't go. It's a two ball, two strike count.

2:24:30

Red certainly hoping for big things from Hunter Green this year. David Bell

2:24:33

has not yet announced his opening day starter. It was Green last year,

2:24:37

and the fastball on two to two misses upstairs and it's a full count.

2:24:41

It's gone from zen two and out of full three and two on the youngster

2:24:45

Nelson Rata, number two prospect in the Angel system coming into the season.

2:24:48

According to the folks at Baseball America, Payoff pitch, and it's a check

2:24:52

swing foul at the plate. Still three and two, just underway here at

2:25:03

good Year Ballpark on a sun soaked afternoon. Yet again, few hazy clouds

2:25:09

overhead, certainly nothing threatening, bringing into his wind up and home with a

2:25:13

payoff, and it is swung on and fouled away. Still a three ball,

2:25:22

two strike count. Rada, left handed hitter, a non roster invitee

2:25:31

for the Angels today. They've got a split squad. Here's the payoff pitch

2:25:35

again, Green to the Youngstererrata, and it's pulled foul off the front of

2:25:39

the first base dugout. Still three and two, and we'll try it yet again. So Green really having to battle here in the first head bat of

2:25:50

the ball game against a young hitter just eighteen years old. Nelson Rada three

2:25:58

two pitch and he takes outside ball four. But the youngster put together a

2:26:01

pretty good at bat right there. First walk issued by a Reds pitcher this

2:26:13

spring. Nelson Rada is on, and now Charles LeBlanc will stand in.

2:26:22

Green's first pitch to LeBlanc is a spinner over the inside corner for a called

2:26:28

strike. Trada bounces off the bag, at first as Green sets at the

2:26:37

belt. Here's the one pitch and a swinging and a miss, a good

2:26:45

fastball, and he jumps ahead. Hero in two. LeBlanc didn't get to

2:26:56

the big leagues last year, but he did play in a handful of games

2:27:00

with the Marlins in twenty twenty two. Now strike three calls that throw behind

2:27:05

the runner at first and back safely is Rata. Down on strike's LeBlanc and

2:27:09

there's one away now Mickey Moniac. Moniac stands in after going one for three

2:27:28

yesterday the Angels Cactus League opener. Runners started, stopped at first and Moniac

2:27:33

takes outside for ball one. Yeah, here, this is a guy that

2:27:43

the Angels would still like to see put it all together. Picked it first

2:27:48

and back safely is Rata. Boniac got a lion's share of the responsibilities in

2:27:56

center field while Mike Trout was out last year. Is that playing forty or

2:28:03

eighty five games for the Angels last season? The pitch the rudder goes delayed.

2:28:07

Steal throw down the second and a good one has a chance, but

2:28:11

not in time. Rada got kind of a walking lead and then took off

2:28:16

a little late. The stolen base for Nelson Rada. Now he's in scoring

2:28:22

position with one out and the count and Moniac's favor two balls and no strikes.

2:28:28

It's back to back curveballs to Moniac to start this at bat, and

2:28:33

both just spinning up and out of the hand underneath it with the elbow for

2:28:37

Green. Two. Oh pitch, Moniac checks his swing on a pitch away

2:28:39

and and this is outside and he didn't go. It's three and oh,

2:28:50

three balls, no strikes the count. Green has the sign ready's and here

2:28:56

comes the three to zero pitch and misses with ball four and a fastball.

2:29:03

Second walk of the inning. Two walks in a strikeout for Green to the

2:29:05

first three batters here in the Angels first, now Hunter Doser. Doser hasn't

2:29:16

played since Nay of last year, when he was cut loose by the Royals,

2:29:20

the team that drafted him in the first round. Here's the pitch the

2:29:24

Doser and he takes a breaking ball over the inside corner for a called strike.

2:29:30

Nothing in one. Green deals the one pitch and swing' gonna miss.

2:29:43

Oh and two that looked like the split finger right there, and he got

2:29:50

an ugly swing from Doser on it. Oh and two come back with the

2:29:54

fastball. Here, yeah, buddy, the two pitch Melee wants it up.

2:30:01

He goes up and Dozer swings right through it at ninety eight. So

2:30:07

after the walk of Mickey Moniac, Hunter Green comes right back and carves up

2:30:11

Hunter Dozer, two men are out of the first inning and out Joe Adell

2:30:13

with two one. Here's the first pitch to Adell, swinging in a miss

2:30:26

strike one tenth overall. Picked back in twenty seventeen, seemed like he was

2:30:33

the Angel's top prospect forever. Here's the one pitch to Adell instead, he

2:30:41

wants time. Dell had a good start to the Cactus League season yesterday two

2:30:48

for two. Both of his hits went for extra bases against the Dodgers,

2:30:52

a double in a triple. Adell's got to figure out a way to do

2:30:54

that. Once the clock ticks in the regular season and the oh one pitch

2:31:03

is down and end, it's an even one ball, one strike count.

2:31:11

The Angels are just waiting for it to all click. They've been waiting a

2:31:15

long time. Boy, have they ever won one pitch and a breaking balls

2:31:20

qued foul. It's a tough situation. The Angels were in this year,

2:31:28

they went for it. Last year they looked to be out of the race.

2:31:31

They were kind of one of those teams right on the verge. It's

2:31:35

the deadline. And instead of trading show Heyo Tani like most people thought they

2:31:39

would with free agency pending, instead they went all in. Runners, take

2:31:45

off the pitch, just missed on the one, two, and now it's

2:31:48

a two ball, two strike count. No throat to the bases, so a double steal for out of the third and moniact a second. I think

2:31:54

mainly was waiting for a called strike three. It looked like it was right

2:32:00

down Broadway. Two balls, two strikes on a dell and from the bell

2:32:05

here's Greens too too, and a breaking ball spinnings over the inside corner for

2:32:09

strike three called well mixed back for Green in the first couple of walks with

2:32:13

three strikeouts, no harm, no foul, the Angels strand too, and

2:32:18

we go to the bottom of the first Angels nothing Reds coming up on the

2:32:22

2:34:20

Leftander Jones to Warton Bullard in Jel, Spencer Steer stands in and takes Hyan

2:34:24

wide for ball one, account one and nothing. What a year this guy had last year two seventy one, twenty three home runs, eighty six driven

2:34:31

in for Spencer Steer. Here's the one zero pitch foul back and he would

2:34:37

have got a lot more attention for Rookie of the Year talks had it not

2:34:43

been for Corbyn Carrol last year. I agree I think there was a lot

2:34:48

of talk for Spencer until Carroll just went on a tear near at the end

2:34:54

of the second half one to one, and this is Luke Fowl right side.

2:34:58

It's ball and two strikes. I think part of that too, is

2:35:01

because Corbyn Carroll was hitting in the leadoff spot a lot of times for a

2:35:05

team that's looked like they were heading into the postseason and ultimately did. I

2:35:11

think Carol got a lot of credit for that club getting where they got.

2:35:16

One ball, two strikes on Spencer Steer and here comes the one two pitch

2:35:20

and this ball's fouled off the right. Baseball is a different sport in that

2:35:26

one player is not going to make or break your team. Really, It's

2:35:31

not like basketball or even a quarterback in football. Nope. But a player

2:35:37

can help put you over the edge, over the hump, round ball,

2:35:41

down the third base line that's fair, just over the inside part of the

2:35:46

bag, and down the left field line. Steers around first and he will

2:35:48

coast into second base with the lead off double. I think the amazing part

2:35:54

about Spencer Steer is his control of the strike zone. Does he chase and

2:36:03

he has a unique ability to be able to foul off pitches that are pitchers

2:36:07

pitches and be able to hit a ball like he just did, a cutter

2:36:11

that came up with the inside corner and he jerks it right down the left field line. He's in scoring position now for Christian Incarnacion. Strand two seventy

2:36:18

last year, thirteen home runs, thirty seven knocked in. Another one of

2:36:22

those guys that came up to the big leagues last year and did not disappoint.

2:36:26

Here's the pitch to CS and he takes up and away. Hope that's

2:36:30

called strike on the upper outside part of the plate count as one one.

2:36:37

This guy just lives for hitting and he can do that rather well. Boy

2:36:43

can he? Ever the O one in the dirt outside. He will see

2:36:48

a lot of time at first base. They'll certainly dh they want to keep his skills sharp at third as well in case he's needed over there, and

2:36:54

David Bell even saying that he'll get some reps during the spring in the outfield

2:36:58

just in case. I think in Carnacion, Strand came out of the womb

2:37:03

with a bat. I mean, that's how that's how long he's been hitting.

2:37:05

He's hit everywhere he's ever been the one to one swinging a high pop

2:37:11

up into very short right field toward the line. First baseman is out and

2:37:15

into foul ground and will make the catch right the palm of his glove.

2:37:18

Hunter Dozer able to run it down and make the play for the first album.

2:37:24

Nice play by Dozer. That's no easy task even then without the high

2:37:28

sky in the sun. Now, Luke Maylee will stand in with Spencer Steers

2:37:37

standing at second and one out. Haley and Tyler Stevenson will share the catching

2:37:43

duties this year. Look back to second base and now the pitch on the

2:37:50

way to Melee, it's a strike taking over the inside corner. Nothing and

2:37:54

one on Melee the O one pitch and he takes off the inside corner.

2:38:09

Kenny Rosenberg left hander, six one and ninety five pounds. He was an

2:38:13

eighth round pick of the Rays out of cal State north Bridge. He had

2:38:18

to walk on at Caryl State Northridge. Now the one to one pitch up

2:38:28

band Away doesn't throw exceptionally hard, but he is left handed and for the

2:38:33

most part he can command the strike zone. He's not a guy who's going

2:38:37

to hurt himself a whole lot with the base on balls. There's the left

2:38:43

hander's two to one pitch, and Maine takes way upstairs. It's three and

2:38:50

one. Small town guy grew up in northern California, and it wasn't until

2:38:58

a little later in his college career that he realized he might actually have a

2:39:01

chance to play some baseball at the professional level. He's always loved the game,

2:39:05

but he had to grind through the major or the minor leagues to get

2:39:09

to the big league. Swinging a high, shallow fly ball to right near

2:39:11

the line, Moniac moving that way, he'll make the catch just inside the

2:39:16

line, and Steer has to hold on at second as Malee's retired for the

2:39:20

second out of the first. Rosenberg was a waiver claim by the Angels prior

2:39:31

to the twenty twenty two season after spending his entire career toiling in the minor

2:39:37

leagues with the Rays. He's got over six hundred innings pitched in the minor

2:39:41

leagues and only a handful of games in the big leagues over the last couple

2:39:46

of years. Twenty eight year old left hander brings it home as he goes

2:39:52

to work against the right handed hitting Stuart Fairchild. First pitch on the way

2:39:56

is upstairs for Ball one talking before. I mean, the Angels come into

2:40:01

this season. They're in a situation now where they've got to see who can

2:40:05

play. They went for it last year, it didn't work. I just

2:40:13

don't see how this is an Angel's team now. The pitch is in the

2:40:16

dirt because last year they had high expectations, they had high hopes, but

2:40:22

I don't know. You look at the Angels club last year and I would

2:40:26

say it was few and far between where you had Trout, Rendon and Otani

2:40:31

in the lineup, and if you're going for it, that's the guys that you're going for it with. And they just couldn't answer the bell every single

2:40:37

day as a group. And Rendon has just been it's not a priority for

2:40:43

him. Yeah, that's a tough situation there. They signed him to a

2:40:48

mega deal and they have got no return on that. Baseball is not his

2:40:52

priority. That's what he said. Here's the two zero pitch ripped into left

2:40:56

field, that's down the line, and that'll go all all the way to

2:41:00

the wall. Spencer Steer will score easily, and Stuart Fairchild is on his

2:41:03

way into second base and he will hold there with an RBI two out double

2:41:07

to give the Reds a one nothing lead in the first, like a breaking

2:41:16

ball from Rosenberg and he just kind of spun it over the inside part of

2:41:20

the plate. The ability to hit left handers, that's what is going to

2:41:28

be Stuart Fairchild's meal ticket to this team. And now Jose Barrero's up.

2:41:35

Barrero getting the start in center field today. Here's the pitch to Barrero and

2:41:39

it's right in there for a call to strike nothing in one. I think

2:41:43

Barrero, if he has a big spring and proves that he can hit,

2:41:48

you got a chance, might have an opportunity because he can play center field.

2:41:54

The one pitch to Barrero and he swings in yanks a breaking ball foul

2:42:00

third base side. He's down on one two. I don't really think there's anything that Jose Berrero can't do. I think for him this goes back for

2:42:07

the last couple of years. It's just a matter of being able to handle

2:42:11

the back consistently. And if he can do that, he's going to be

2:42:16

in the big leagues. If not, he's probably gonna be with another club

2:42:20

because he's out of options. The O two pitch to Berrero, they had

2:42:28

a big swinging a miss and he is down on strike, so the inning

2:42:31

is over. We head to the second Reds are up one to nothing on

2:45:11

on this Sunday afternoon from Goodyear Arizona. Green delivers to Miguel Snow and the

2:45:18

pitches in there for a called strike. And I wrote in Miguel Snow's name

2:45:24

today and I thought, huh, he's still around. I mean he was

2:45:28

at one time the prospect in the Twin system had some success, but I

2:45:35

hadn't played in the big league since July of twenty two pitches low and outside,

2:45:41

one ball, one strike. He's an Angel's camp as a non roster

2:45:46

INVITEE. Here's the one to one pitch and Son takes a look at a

2:45:58

strike. So no showed a glimpse of his promise when he hit twenty eight

2:46:07

home runs drove in seventy seven at two sixty four in the twenty seventeen All

2:46:11

Star season that he had picked a first runner back, but it just never

2:46:18

really came together for him. The Twins released him during the twenty two season

2:46:22

and didn't play anywhere last year, trying to make his way back with the

2:46:28

Angels. Now, the pitch off the inside corner that evens the count at

2:46:35

two and two. There are hitters that get in slumps and then they hit

2:46:39

their way out of them. There are other hitters that get into a slump

2:46:43

and they can't find their way out of and so knows in that spot right

2:46:46

now, here's the two two and the foul back big guy, though he

2:46:54

is an imposing presence in the batter's box now thirty years old, he debuted

2:47:05

with the Twins back in twenty fifteen at twenty two years old. Here's the

2:47:11

two to two pitch to MIGUELSONO and it misses up and end. So that's

2:47:20

three and two, three strikeouts, two walks for Green in the first inning.

2:47:26

He allows the leadoff single here in the second, and now the count is run full on MIGUELSONO from the Belldeers Greens payoff pitch, the runner takes

2:47:35

off, breaking ball is yanked foul down the third baseline. Let so I'll

2:47:43

try the three to two again. Watch MLB dot tv in stream two hundred

2:47:56

Green's home with a payoff. I'm gonna miss why dev eight from What Works

2:48:03

just blow the old fastball by him. And that's what he did right there

2:48:07

for the first out here in the second that brings up the former Red Chad

2:48:16

Wallack. Remember he was acquired from the Marlins. The pitch cut on and

2:48:26

missed, and then Wallack would go on and spend parts of four years in

2:48:31

the big leagues with Miami after he left Cincinnati. But he was in that

2:48:35

Anthony Di Sclafani trade that brought Disco and Wallack over from the Marlins for Matt

2:48:43

Latos. The pitch is in the dirt and that'll head to the backstop and

2:48:48

down to second base, goes Fontanelle on the pass ball, actually one ball,

2:48:58

one strike on Wallack. Wallack, entering his third season with the Angels,

2:49:11

made it up for sixty five games last year. The pitch breaking ball

2:49:13

inside. He's never really had a full season in the big leagues. He's

2:49:18

always just kind of bounced back and forth. In fact, this sixty five

2:49:22

games with the Angels last year by far the most he's ever played in a

2:49:26

single season in the big leagues. Here's the two to one. Wallack takes

2:49:31

a strike on the inside corner, flutter at second, one out, two

2:49:46

balls, two strikes, Green sets and now delivers the two to two pitch

2:49:50

man. It's up and in, almost unbuttoned the jersey of Wallack and now

2:49:56

a full count Brandon Williamson set to throat. Today, we're also expecting to

2:50:05

see TJ and Tone on the mound at some point. Payoff pitch man.

2:50:11

It's scorched on the ground, diving stop Arroyo up the middle, throw it

2:50:15

2:50:20

Edwin Arroyo. That kid can play some short Styn Holy smokes. We've already

2:50:28

seen it now two days in a row. I know I keep harping about

2:50:33

it, but that is a special defensive player a headlong dive to his left

2:50:39

2:50:43

close at first base, David Bell's out to take the ball from Hunter Green,

Good pitcher for the Rens taking over four hundred green here in the second

2:52:33

inning will be Michael Byrne fifty two innings Ina Chattanooga last year four and one

2:52:39

with a two point seven seven ERA that'll get you noticed. He had some

2:52:48

success playing for the Gators down there in Gainesville. First pitch is in there

2:52:52

for a called strike count of zero to one. Reds drafted them in twenty

2:52:56

eighteen. That same year, he was named the Stopper of the Year the

2:53:03

NCBWA the pitch down and in one ball one strike. Burn was not a

2:53:13

high draft pick. Red plucked him in the fourteenth round out of Florida,

2:53:20

twenty six years old. Right handers home with the one to one pitch and

2:53:26

it's hit in the air to center field. Berrero coming on and he will

2:53:28

make the chest hi catch in center field for the final out. Retire Levon

2:53:33

Soto and the Angels will strand a runner at third still won nothing. Reds

Thompson leads off the Red Lake second inning, one nothing Cincinnati. First pitch

2:55:43

on the way to Thompson has swung on a eight lines of base hit in

2:55:45

the center field. Thompson's a board. This first a bat of the day.

2:55:54

You played in the game yesterday against Cleveland, Thompson was on base a

2:56:00

couple of times. In fact, scored a run and stole a base.

2:56:05

Thompson with a base hit his first time up today. So now he's on

2:56:09

for Eric Gonzalez. First pitch to Gonzales, it is a strike taking over

2:56:15

the inside corner and it's nothing at one. You gotta believe Thompson is gonna

2:56:18

run any chance that he gets pretty good lead against the lefty and a pick

2:56:28

that way. Thompson draws the throw and gets back easily. There was a

2:56:33

little rough move there from the left hander. That'll look like he got a

2:56:37

bit off balance as he threw that to first base. Rosenberg's ready Thompson leads

2:56:45

off the bag, Rosenberg gives him a look. Now Thompson a false step

2:56:50

and the pitch is popped up valve ground first base side hunder Dozer over there

2:56:54

near the railing. He will make the catch and Bubba Thompson has to stay

2:56:58

put at first base. Eric Gonzalez out on the foul pop. Now that

2:57:05

brings up Mark Matthias. Mathias has quite a bit of big league time under

2:57:13

his belt. Originally in Cleveland, drafted him in the third round back in

2:57:16

twenty fifteen. Last year, split his time between Pittsburgh and San Francisco,

2:57:24

picked a first runner back combined to hit two twenty six last year between the

2:57:33

two stops, and only played twenty seven games in the Major Leagues those two

2:57:37

teams. He's also played with the Rangers and Brewers. Now it picked to

2:57:43

first and Thompson was running and he's hung up a flip to the shortstop.

2:57:48

Now they'll chase him back toward first and eventually get tagged out by Levan Soto.

2:57:54

So the pickoff cott stealing goes one, three, six, and now

2:58:05

the base is rimpedy with two outs. Letsiah's a right handed batter. The

2:58:18

pitch and it's a strike over the inside corner. Jenny Rosenberg back into his

2:58:31

wind up and now home with the O one and the pitch misses down and

2:58:35

end one ball one strike. Rosenberg had a little bit of success last year

2:58:46

even though he didn't pitch a ton in the major leagues with the Angels.

2:58:50

Now he's home with a one one and it's a one hop liner to the

2:58:54

shortstop on soda gloves and throws in time to first to get the outside retired

2:59:00

reds are gone quietly in the second, it's one of nothing Cincinnati is we

3:00:46

to a beer fridge near you, gravin eight pack today, I'd stuck up for the season ahead, huzza dittle King's Brewery, Cincinnati, Ohio. We

3:00:56

fans Brandon Williams. We'll make over tool. The Red begin the third inning

3:01:01

of play here in Goodyear Arizona Reds and Angels. It has won nothing.

3:01:05

Red Legs as the top of the order, Nelson Rada steps to the plate.

3:01:11

First pitch, swinging ground ball right side. Matthias has it in time.

3:01:16

One pitch, one out, one down. Here's Charles LeBlanc, who

3:01:24

struck out Hunter Green started this ball game. He pitched an inning and two

3:01:31

thirds, walked a couple of batters, gave up a hit. He did

3:01:35

strike out four batters. Man Williamson taking over after Burne. Michael Byrne came

3:01:45

on to get the final out in the second. First pitch from Williamson, here is a fastball missus down in the zone. One ball, no strength

3:01:52

count back to the plane, catches the outside corner with that heater and now

3:01:58

things are even. At a ball in a strike five and five was Williamson

3:02:01

last year. Twenty three starts with a four point four to six yard swinging

3:02:07

of is like a high cutter right at the top of the zone, and

3:02:15

LeBlanc took a hack at it and comes up empty. Williamson, working quickly,

3:02:22

fouled to the right side to change up, down and away. Cow

3:02:30

stays at a one bowl, two strang Williamson. The paws over the top

3:02:41

of the head, cuts the ball in off the plate, and I'm leaving

3:02:45

the count at two balls and two strikes. Back to back probable starters for

3:02:54

the Reds, both Green and Williamson. But you can't have sick. It's

3:03:00

going to be five. This one fouled off down the rightfield line. Man,

3:03:05

if you're Brandon Williamson, you've got to be thinking to yourself, I've

3:03:09

got to put myself in the best spot possible, and that's having a good

3:03:13

spring. That way, you make the decision difficult for David Bell and his

3:03:18

coaching staff and Nick Crawl in the front office. Williamson back to the plate

3:03:26

and he catches the outside corner. Four strength, three, two down.

3:03:33

It's back to back at bats for Charles LeBlanc where he has struck out looking

3:03:41

I have to believe cowboy along the lines what you're talking about with Williamson.

3:03:45

It's going to be tough for him to make this team. Not impossible, but tough. Nicky moniac takes strength. One cut her over the inside corner.

3:03:56

But as we talked about yesterday, the Reds are not going to just

3:04:00

use five starters. So what he can do, even if he doesn't make

3:04:03

the team, he can put himself in a position to be the first one called upon when they need somebody. Slider this time miss just off the outside

3:04:11

edge and leaving the count of the ball and the strength. I think the

3:04:15

Reds used what fifteen sixteen starters like that, it was a lot and to

3:04:22

the plank back up the middle. There's Arroyo right behind second base, makes

3:04:28

the play and the throw in time and a three up, three down third

3:04:31

for the left hander Brendan Williamson. One nothing, Reds bottom of three coming

3:06:28

think runs as we head to the bottom of three second game of the spring

3:06:35

the slate Reds and Angels, Reds winning yesterday four to nothing over the Guardians

3:06:41

and the opener here in Goodyear. Alan narun Hill, a right hander out

3:06:48

of Parmaiceo, Mexico, out of the bullpen for the Angels. He'll face

3:06:54

young shortstop Edwin Arroyo, and evidently run Hill is having a bit of trouble

3:07:01

with his ear piece. Well, put that on your BEINGO card first one

3:07:07

of those this year. Ron Hill has spent the last let's see here,

3:07:16

one two, three years. I believe that's in the Braves organization played in

3:07:22

Double A. Jackson, Mississippi played in Gwinnette, which I believe is their

3:07:28

Triple A club, has yet to pitch at the big league level. Well,

3:07:39

it seems like they've gotten the electronics working. I can't believe I'm saying

3:07:46

that Arroyo is ready and it's ripped into right field on the first bitch,

3:07:52

and Edward Arroyo has himself a leadolph single edl Arroyo doesn't have to be a

3:08:05

masher to make the big leagues. He just has to be consistent at the plate. And I think what the Reds are still looking for from young Edwin

3:08:18

Arroyo is to get off to a good start to his season, whether it

3:08:22

be in Chattanooga or whether it be in in Triple A. Fastball at the

3:08:30

top of the zone. That's a strake Spencer Steer hits for the second time

3:08:33

this afternoon. Doubled his first time up. I think for Arroyo, if

3:08:39

he can get himself off to a good start in those cold winter months,

3:08:41

it seems to really come on strong as the year progresses. This ball pop

3:08:46

high into the air, shallows center field. Rada will have it, and

3:08:52

there's one day will you leave the sunny weather here in Arizona. And really,

3:09:07

regardless of where you go, if you leave Arizona, it's gonna be

3:09:11

a bit chilly in the early part of the season. Whether you're in Daytona,

3:09:13

even in Florida, it's still gonna be cool. Chattanooga, dayton which

3:09:18

is just north of Cincinnati. Swinging a mess quick throw from wallack back to

3:09:24

first, Arroyo diving safely headlong back into the bag. It's called a strike.

3:09:31

It's a no ball. One strength counting now to Christian Incarnassium Strand.

3:09:37

Strand popped up the first base his first go round the pitch, swinging a

3:09:43

mess like a breaking ball into the dirt. An incarnasim Strand a bit out

3:09:50

in front. How about the spring for Incarnassion Strand? Last year it seemed

3:10:07

like every pitch that came to the plate was rattling off the wall. I

3:10:11

mean we got to know his name rather quickly. There goes the royo and

3:10:16

there's the pitch right on the front elbow of Incarnassium Strand, and he will

3:10:22

head down to first on the two pitch that hit him right on the front

3:10:28

tricep right above the elbow. So that'll put two batters aboard. Talking about

3:10:35

Incarnassi on Strand, and we've talked so much about how hitters are behind a

3:10:39

lot this time of year. That's why when you watch a live batting practice

3:10:43

before games get started, the pitchers almost always dominate those and it's tough for

3:10:46

hitters to look good. It's partly to get hitters timing down, it's also

3:10:50

to see pitchers against the hitters. Incarnassi and Strand had a live batting practice

3:10:56

session and took one off the centerfield batter's eye at the complex a few days

3:10:58

ago. Speaking of fly balls that are long and far, this one is

3:11:05

out of here into the red season ticket holders meetings, just above the right

3:11:11

field wall, a three run home run for Luke Mayley. It is for

3:11:16

nothing Red that opposite field shot or the runs catcher. We were talking as

3:11:31

the game began, and when normally the wind pattern here at Goodyear ballpark,

3:11:39

there's usually a breeze either blowing out or towards right field. The ball carries

3:11:46

in right field no matter what. There is not a lick of the breeze.

3:11:50

Win nothing right now. And that ball got out of here in the snap of a finger strength one here to the right ended hitting Stuart Fairchild,

3:11:56

who doubled home the game's first run. And he'll take that pitch right on

3:12:01

the outside corner, and it's a no ball, two strength count. Fair

3:12:13

Child with a two out double down the left field line the first go round.

3:12:16

That came against the starter, left hander Kenny Rosenberg. He's down oh

3:12:20

two here and he taps that one foul at home play. The breaking ball

3:12:28

count stays at no balls and two strengths to fair Child. Fair Child playing

3:12:33

right field here on this afternoon, bron Hell's still out of the stretch.

3:12:45

Right under turns it loose, and it's lifted into shallow center field, falling

3:12:50

quickly nobody there. Nobody will get it. That'll be a base hit,

3:12:54

the second of the afternoon for a fair Child little seeing eye single. Quickly

3:13:05

back after it was the shortstop Soto, the second baseman LeBlanc, giving Chase

3:13:09

as well, Roda could not get to it, and it just falls in

3:13:13

no man's land out there in shadow center field. And that'll give Jose Barrero

3:13:18

an opportunity here and we'll pause for identification here on the Reds Radio network.

3:13:28

After a historic twenty twenty three season, FC Cincinnati opening needs twenty twenty four

3:13:33

campaign at home against Toronto. Details after the game of the home of the

3:13:37

Reds, News Radio seven hundred WLW Cincinnati, breaking ball into the dirt from

3:13:46

the right hander, Alan run Hill, one bowl, no strength count to

3:13:56

Barrero. Barrero a strength out victim. He chased the fastball up and well

3:14:01

out of the string zone in his first debt. And here's the one zero

3:14:07

from Ron Hell, lifted high into the air, shallow left field. Here

3:14:11

comes adele out as the shortstop Soto who makes the catch back to first is

3:14:16

fair child to death. That looked like it had disaster written all over it.

3:14:24

Well, as we have seen in the years that we have been here.

3:14:28

In goodyear, this time of year, the ball goes into the air

3:14:33

and outfielders and infielders have a whale of a time trying to find out not

3:14:37

only where it is, but whether it's going to blow left or right and

3:14:43

then trying to battle that sun. That's a stolen base for fair Child or

3:14:48

a high hanging breaking ball from ron Hell, and that's a one bowl no

3:14:52

strike count. Here to Bubba Thompson. Slider down and away from ron Hill,

3:15:09

and it's a two bowl no strength count. Thompson had a double yesterday.

3:15:16

He has a single thus far here this afternoon, and a chance to

3:15:20

drive home a run with two outs here, lifts this one in the left

3:15:24

field quickly back Adele, he won't get it. It's off the base of

3:15:28

the wall. That will score a fair Child. Another double for Thompson,

3:15:31

and it's five nothing Reds. Yeah. You look out at the flags and

3:15:41

you think, well, there's not a whole lot of wind. The balls

3:15:46

shouldn't be carrying. Look, it's Arizona. Anything in the air is going,

3:15:50

and it's going quickly. And that's not to say that the ball has

3:15:58

not been hit hard, because you get it off the barrel, you got

3:16:01

a chance. Red's had played at four here in the inning and looking for

3:16:05

another where there Gonzana standing at the plate, Thompson at second. That's a

3:16:11

bulk on ron Hell and that will send Thompson on to third base. He

3:16:20

was just in the middle of his delivery, just that foot and stopped.

3:16:41

And now there will be a meeting on the mound with the catcher, the

3:16:46

pitching coach and the pitcher. Ron Hell. Ron Hell, it seems like

3:16:50

he's having trouble either picking up the signs, hearing the sign or just trouble

3:16:56

period. It has not been a good actor for the young man. That

3:17:09

is a five nothing Reds lead. Reds have seven hits on the board.

3:17:15

We are only in the bottom of the third inning. That was yesterday's total,

3:17:18

lucky seven's. The Reds have already surpassed Game one's runs total. Of

3:17:33

course, the three run home run will do that, as Luke Mayley got

3:17:37

the Reds started here in the inning with an opposite field shot. Here's a

3:17:41

groundball to the shortstop, so has it comes up firing in time, you'll

3:17:46

cut down Gonzales for the final out. Here in the third Reds do some

3:17:48

more damage. They leave five nothing over the Angels as we head back to

3:17:52

Tommy and the fourth inning of play. Here on the Reds Radio nt Okay,
