Yeah i mean you need to. You need to have another great month and if you do then then it's on us to point to ownership Then then then we talk about you know you you. What are you gonna go for it. You know i mean because originally. Let's go back to the original plan. Remember when it was all about. Oh they're rebuilding for these years. This mean was supposed to be the window so then you can't not sell when the window still opening you're actually in contention and so i mean you're you're still two games under five hundred. You still have massive holes and who knows like to expect this. Maybe it does happen. And i hope for their sake. It thaws winker and castanos to be this. All year is not necessarily realistic. But there's other parts of the lineup that you should expect to re- to come to their mean as well you know sure and vodka is gonna come back and play tonight. New stock is going to eventually send l.

I just wanna know who people are when they come out of the bullpen Like i just recognized the name and it not just be whoever they pulled out of. Whatever it's funny when baseball and i'll use baseball reference all the time to look at somebody's numbers and i keep it up on standby here in the studio just because if i quickly want to reference what a guys doing the problem is if you just look at the twenty twenty one page. They list everybody who appeared in a game and there are times where i'm like. I don't think that guy's here anymore. But his ryan hendrix and he'd hamburg. Okay they're not the same guy peres is he. He is he here now. I have a hard time with that. We need to use a different website. But you're right multiple times this year. A guys trudging from the bullpen. And i'm like kay.

Do we know the answer to them. Like freeman mike freeman. Still see the is he going to be the corresponding roster move.

I know you have to kick me out of here is at. what point. do you start really dipping into your farm system and start going to bring up the big guns at some point if it doesn't come at the expense of their development. I'm one hundred percent on board dolo. Greens time like if we're going to slobber over the lights of kyle bodine derrick johnson and all these heavy minded people working on pitching. I'm going to defer to them. If organizationally those people go you what that guy could still be as good as we think and he can help. Now i'm on board. I am deferring to them. Yeah the delo owen. Green are both very very short on experience..

In addition to the Cubs in the central, it's the Mets in the East. San Francisco in the West. A note from down on the farm. This is this is pretty amazing, and I don't know how many more chapters there are to the story. But this is a pretty amazing couple of new chapter's being added to it. Nick Howard was the Reds first round pick in 2014. Out of Virginia. He was a closer And he battled multiple arm and shoulder and back injuries and other issues over the years and never advanced past double A developed a case of the yips. He could not throw the ball over the plate. He had trouble just playing catch with his teammates and throwing them the ball. He was released by the Reds in March of 2019. He went to the Florida baseball ranch to try to get right. It's kind of a version of Dr Line. He got healthy. He got his confidence back. He spent some time in the Royals organization before they released him. The Reds re signed him. He's now 28 years old, healthy Pitching for the first time since 2019 and he's at Chattanooga with the lookouts. He's made eight appearances this year, pitching nine and two thirds innings. He is not a lot of run. Eight appearances, nine and two thirds innings 14 strikeouts and he is said to be throwing in the upper nineties. Getting up to 97 98 miles an hour. How cool is that story? First round pick seven years ago for the Cincinnati Reds. Nic Coward. He was the 19th pick overall, and you talk about a struggle. He pitched it at a Virginia he had saved 20 games. His senior his final season helped lead that team to the college world, Syriza He pitched the 2014 the back half of that season at Dayton, where he made 11 appearances for the Dragons, one on a Daytona in 2015, where his earned run average was nearly seven in 2016 at Daytona, his earned run average was again nearly seven in 2018 at Daytona. His earned run average was 6 23. Has not pitched since 2019 and getting it done on the comeback trail for the Chattanooga Lookouts in eight appearance is good for him. That is a that's really cool story. Alright, May is in the books Reds turn the calendar, too. June, The Reds went 12 and 15 in the month of May there leading hitter Nick Castano's hit 409 for the month. Jesse Winker hit 3 30 for the month. That's on the high end on the low end, Alex Blandino went six for 41 in May. 1 46 soirees hit 1 86. Tyler Stevenson hit 1 88 au Radio Suarez led the Reds in May in homers and an R B. I's stories had eight homers, Winker had seven soirees drove in 17 Nay Quinn drove in 16. Appearances. Pitching wise Sean Doolittle led the Reds and appearances in May with 22 Curse and former had 20. Lucas Simms, 19 Garrett 18 CNL Perez 17, TJ Antone, 17 Wade Miley led the Reds in wins for the month with five Tyler Malli. Five different Reds saved a game in the month of May. There is no designated closer on this team, and in that bullpen, five different pitchers saved games. Simms head three, Antone had three and toned, led the staff and earned run. Average. It 1 61 on the high end Cassio's with 7 22 Garretts. Was 7 80 of note in the month of May, Alex Blandino and Max truck combined for three and a third scoreless innings hang tight.

"What else you got? That's better. Do you really want to be the franchise that bails on players after a bad half a season plus I'm always struck by people who would call me or tweet me about how the Reds never should have given up on Edwin Encarnacion known and I'm not saying that I Eugenia Suarez is capable of having the kind of seasons that Edwin Encarnacion had in Toronto, but they moved on from that dude after he had played in over 500 games and by the way, what they got for him is what they wanted older, experienced guy who had been through the wringer before, and that was obviously Scott Rolen. You can't beat up on him. It's like Anthony Diesel. Funny. They moved on from Anthony DeSclafani. The Giants paid him six million bucks. He got off to a great start last year that had five bad starts. Now you kind of wish will wait a minute. We kind of should have kept him around right? He was fixable. Disco Funny last year had an area of 7 20. Everybody was ready to move on. Guy who has experienced a guy who has a track record of relative success. Was able to tap into what he used to do, and it's having a good season for the Giants, in fact, beat the Reds Week and a half ago. You're going to do that whole thing about how well they should have been more patient with him. Don't do the same thing with the Urania Suarez. By the way, what else you got to third base on a consistent basis? That's rock. Alex Blandino. You may not believe in a Ukrainian Suarez. The red certainly do. Which is why, instead of benching him Instead of banishing him toe, you know, not being on the team or barely playing instead of sliding him down the batting order. They instead chose to show him a degree of confidence. And hit him lead off the three games in Washington. I liked it, not just because he played well and had a couple of home runs and got on base. I do think there's something about showing somebody that you're their guy. Think that spoke to David Bell. We always here, you know, people in baseball talk about what with the manager. It's not necessarily the line up, or, you know maneuvers managing the bull. All that stuff's important, but it's managing people thought David Bell managed Urania Suarez from a human standpoint really, really well this week. And there was a bit of a payoff of the way he swung the bat against the Nationals. Not today in a pension, enroll 10 minutes away from seven o'clock and the news will get to a Chris Greg and you 513749 7000. And 1 800 the Big one.

"Reds lose the makeup or the completion of the suspended game earlier today, 53 They'll go back at it at 705 Centigrade versus Stephen Strasbourg. Let's take a look at tonight's lineup if you're ready now. No Nick Castano Snow Jonathan, India Um I'll say what I said on Twitter. There is a don't want to say a formula. But there is a method to the madness. When your best players get a day off. You know what the method to the madness is. That in order for your best players toe stay healthy and productive throughout the entire season. You don't play them 162 games. So Nick Castano's has the day off today. U N E O Suarez or tonight because he played earlier today a U. N e o soirees leading off at third base. He is three for nine with a home run since the move. Jesse Winker coming off four hits in left field, batting second, Tyler Nay Quinn had a hit in a walk this afternoon. He bats third. He's in right field tonight. Tallis Stevenson catches and bats cleanup again this season for every run batted in by Cincinnati's cleanup hitter.

Max shrug gets the start at second base in place of India batting seventh. Sonny Gray will bat eighth. For the eighth time in his career. Alex Blandino plays first base. He will bat ninth, batting ninth for the fifth time in his career. There is a cool story unfolding down on the farm at Dayton with the Dayton Dragons. They have a young man 23 years old. Who went to college is a graduate, The U. S Military Academy. He's 23. His name is Jacob Hurtubise. He is an outfielder. Left handed bat. Left fielder right Theater last night reached base five times. Three for three, a walking a hit by pitch. He's hitting eight straight games. He's 12 for his last 26 in his 1st 17 games he was undrafted year ago. Remember, was only five round draft signed by the Reds, undrafted. It is 17 games this year, he's hitting 3 33 with a 4 78 on base percentage. And in those 17 games, he's walked 12 times in a stolen 12 bases. He will serve a five year military obligation after his baseball playing days are over. That's part of the D O D's waiver program in recent years. I remember a conversation we had with Tom Nichols, the outstanding play by play Voice of the Dayton Dragons just a couple of weeks ago, and he was telling us about and speaking very highly of Jacob Hurtubise. He is a player that went to West Point and graduated as a second lieutenant in the Army was the conference defensive player of the year and the Reds have a kid here who has a chance and baseball America rated him as the fastest float there and the Reds farm system. He's never played a game of professional baseball that's based on scouting, and we had him on a zoom. Conversation today with our media and again, he's out of West Point. I said, the end of it. That was the best interview in the history of the Dayton Dragons. Wow, this kid is so impressive. We got to get him on your show. Sometimes, he told some stories about how literally he graduated on Ah, Friday night at West Point drove home. 13 hours and went to bed got up the next morning and had offers from the Reds Cubs and several other teams grab was only five years, five rounds last year instead of its usual 40 rounds, So if you want a top five round pick You didn't get arrested at all. He was in that category. He was a high priority free agent and that really impressive kid to talk to. I think the fans if he's just fast as they say that he'll be an interesting guy for us to watch. He's an outfielder and again, really, really impressive kid with a work ethic off the charts, and we look forward to seeing him Jacob Hurtubise from Zionsville, Indiana. Takes it eight game hitting streak into action tonight again. 12 stolen bases batting 3 33, speaking of the draft, and in his case, he went undrafted out of the draft is coming up. Sunday, July 11th through the 13th around the Major League Baseball All Star festivities. You realize the Reds have Three picks in the top 35 4 in the top 53 5 picks in the top 89 of the draft. They pick 17th overall this year. They get a compensation pick for losing Trevor Bauer. So that's the 30th pick. The Astros forfeited picked because of the cheating scandal, so there's 29 1st round picks. Then the Reds have picked number 30. They get a competitive balance. Pick at number 35 in this draft there second round pick. Is it 53 their third round pick? Is it 89? I saw a couple of mock drafts because it's never too early for Major League baseball. Mock drafts a CIA Jim callis of MLB dot com with the red selecting a right handed pitcher. Out of Bogart, Georgia named Bubba Chandler, who also is a commit to play quarterback at Clemson. Mm. Brother played quarterback at Clemson or be drafted into the majors in the athletic Today has the red selecting a left handed pitcher out of Fordham, Matt. Makowski.

"And thin one hour from now I have Ah, question for you. I'm guessing your initial reaction will be to push back against it. But I want you to follow me here for a second. I I read about this this morning in sports Illustrated aside calm. And I had plotted it out for a topic tonight. In this hour before the Reds game even started, and then is the Reds game unfolded. I said, Well, this topic fits perfectly. You know by now, the brouhaha earlier in the week of Tony LaRussa and others being bent out of shape that the White Sox player was swinging at a three, you know, pitch in a game that was totally out of hand. It was 15 before it was the ninth inning. Ah, position player was pitching Heathrow 47 Mile in our office pitch was clobbered for a home run. And the whole debate was man. You're you're you got enough Run! Drop 15 before you shouldn't be swinging on a three. Oh, pitch. Well. The premise of the Sports Illustrated piece today was Instead of telling your mean Mercedes, the White Sox player earlier in the way to to stop trying. Hey, don't don't swing at that pitch. You're already up 15 to 4 instead of telling him to stop trying What would be wrong with letting managers declare the mercy rule? On themselves. You ever played knothole or little League? You know the 10 run rule, right? You know if after whatever level you were playing on after four innings If your head by 10 it's the mercy world, the run rule the game is over. The idea presented by Sports Illustrated is What happened in that 15 to 4 game and I would tie it to what we witnessed today. A great American ballpark. It's a silly cartoon version of baseball. I mean, for goodness sakes, the Reds used to position players in the ninth inning. Today is the first time since 2000 since 1902. According to the Elias Sports Bureau. The Reds used to position players to pitch. Alex Blandino pitched an inning. Then he came back for the ninth. He walked the pitcher to lead off the inning. He walked another batter. David Bell went and got him and it was Max truck who pitched I mean, I was feeling this in the third inning intended nothing. The thought of well what? What's the point now? At 19 to 4. I was certainly not the only one saying, What's the point in doing this? And so, Sports Illustrated suggest that imagine a world where a team could concede and hit the showers. Nobody's feelings would be hurt. No unwritten rules would be broken. The twins could decide like they did on Tuesday, or a team could decide to keep trying if they wanted or they could concede. Major League Baseball already has a seven inning game. As doubleheaders. They've decided to 17 years or five for those. So what if you said You are allowed to concede after the seventh inning, rather than play a 15 to 4 game, or 19 to 4 game with the ridiculous and nonsense going on, with position players batting unwritten rules of swinging at pitches, trying to hit home runs all of that. What would be your thought on that? Sports Illustrated mentioned it happens in other sports. They point to the two best golfers ever. Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods both conceded shortcuts to end the Ryder Cup. Nicholas and 69 Tiger in 2000 and 12 competitive chess players resigned when defeat is inevitable. It happens in cricket. Says Sports Illustrated. Boxers and trainers could decide they're not going out for the start of the next round. They could throw in the towel. So Sports Illustrated says Let him quit. It's okay, really. Now. They contend you should be forced to play at least six innings, mostly so the fans can get their money's worth. But once the seventh inning starts If you want to concede. You can concede. Unwritten rule problems. No more. Position players pitching no more. Call it the Yogi Berra Rule, said Sports Illustrated. When it's over, it's over. I'd be curious. Somebody grab alive. If you're a diehard baseball fan, 5137491 7800 the big £1.700 on a TNT would you have an issue with a mercy rule? Run rule. If you watch today, I don't think you would. Because that was his difficulty. Game is I've watched in a long time I joked earlier. I said, I've had root canals, but I was numb for a root canal. The third inning today got so bad. That YouTube, the broadcaster of the game, put up a running clock in the corner of the screen to show you how long the Giants have been hitting. Believe it went over 34 minutes for their half inning. They batted around. They scored nine runs. The Reds used three pictures. It was 10. Nothing after three. Itwas 14 to 1 of the fifth. It was 18 to 1 in the seventh. It was 19 to 4. The final Any issue with Pick your inning. Sports Illustrated says six After six Today would have been 14 to 1 red. You're running short on pictures. They've used a ton of them throwing a ton of pitches lightly. Gotta get another game tomorrow. David Bell simply walked out motion of the empire We're out of here. We can see. Made it a poll question on Twitter at Lance McAllister. I have not checked the answer. I would be curious of the reaction. I would guess there would be an overwhelming no vote in a push back. Um Didn't find it like cool or funny or Different watching Blandino pitch and then shrug pitch. I just I thought it was sad and unnecessary. I just I thought it was more Like Bad joke like embarrassing that it was finishing at a baseball game. I think I think you'd be more dignified to the game to say that's enough..

Johnny Cueto has still been very solid at this advanced age of his career for San Francisco figures to be a pretty good, bad matchup, but the red seem to find a way to get the bats going and hopefully early in support of Tyler Malli. Yeah, I think that in order to Really put Johnny Cueto, the bed You've got to be able to battle from from pitch to pitch. There's got to be a game plan not to try to lift and separate but to continue to keep pressure on Cueto. That's the only way you run him out of the ballgame. For his Tyler Malli. I don't know that anybody on this staff that is throwing the ball better than what he has. I thought his last couple of innings in Colorado About his big of a gut check. Aziz.

There was a tweet. I wild back saying that in the entire. Mlb with winds above replacement. I believe that's one short for pretty much. The reds have the left and right field as the best spots in the entire. Mlb that saved suffolk has castio says batting three ten on the year. It's great to see him. Having a great year. Twenty two rb is tailored decors. Got twenty four rb icees batting to sixty. He's cooled off a little bit dixon. Zales have not bad year or two sixty three. Joey votto hurt but he was batting two twenty six. And you hate your suarez has got his batting average up. It's now one fifty six lot better than the one thirty three. He was so he started to turn the corner. It is strike outs are dropping down a bit. I think it was just timing issue. Really pretty much. He's starting to work through it. So it is interesting to see so tyler stephenson. he's played only twenty two gates what he's swatting a to ninety eight batting average which very impressive tucker barnhart not bad behind him to eighty eight. So the catchers are put it in a nice day at the plate as well. Alex blandino to sixty five mansion. Nick said zell to sixty three day. Quinn to sixty a couple of pitchers they're banning to fifty. Mike busse dacas low lower the batting average but to thirty five. Kyle farmer to twenty nine job. India has really cooled off at two. Oh eight but i say. Don't drop down because he's not going to grow if you just drop them down for having a cool off you know lennon. Figure it out on his own. Let's go to pitching now.

You got suarez. That took over shortstop and kyle farber there too. When swore the shortstop you can go back the third which right now is giovanna out for pretty much all may maybe a little bit of june with that broken thumb.

No longer The major league baseball way. Although I did ask not not to, like, be the party pooper at any of this. I did ask you. Nobody wants to tell me if you want these to continue under what Pratt parameters would they continue? Way are they allowed to do the stare down into the start of the game? All right, do they have in your world what They have to end the standoff at the first pitch one way, and if it has to end by the first pitch, then it doesn't seem nearly as fun. So nobody's willing to tell me how it would work if you wanted it to be allowed by Major League Baseball. Either way, Major League Baseball said. You will not do that anymore.

Mattila with you go worded border around the world on the american forces radio getting back to the our pool halls thing and i remember i said on the air and i'll say it again. I had diarrhea so bad. Now i have two holes and people didn't react to ask. I thought i'd say it again. But this whole thing about oh. They're really going to be strapped. Now they got tons of cash and look if it was about money. They're going to eat this money. He's been delayed designated for assignment which means somebody can claim him. If you claim him you get the contract. No one's going to claim him so he'll be a free agent. We'll talk about in a second. If he wants to keep playing where he might go. The angels are going to have to pick up the rest of that thirty million dollars. So i mean what have. We played just over a month of baseball. You're you're looking at you. Know what twenty. Five twenty six million dollars for a guy who right now is forty one years old hidden one ninety eight. But here's the thing pool. Halls hasn't hit for four years. He'll give you an rbi here and there. He can't run. He's he's been over the hill for a while so as i said the knew that if he stayed healthy they're going to get about five or six years out of them and they did get five really good years out of our pool halls. They've just had okay so so lousy and now to a bad even beyond the team at one ninety eight they said five home runs so he's going to clear waivers but this is a guy that's going to hall of fame. He started his career as well as anybody ever did in history he's fifth all-time in home runs somewhat. Even say that he's really third. If you take out. Barry bonds. Whose first alex rodriguez who's fourth because of the royds but on the list he's v six hundred and sixty seven home runs. Could he catch a rod now. A-rod has twenty nine home runs more at six ninety six. And i've i set it at the time. If a rod stayed healthy and didn't miss out on an entire year and wasn't suspended and all the other thing he would have been the homerun king. I don't have any doubt and you think about how big pools is. A rod is almost the same size which it doesn't look like on tv. But when you. I've stood next day. Rod and i was amazed how little i felt next to that guy who was a shortstop the gold glove shortstop not jeeter. But when he came to the yankees. You think you're taken derek. Jeter over two third homes tag bows aid. You don't know the name unless you're a bay area guy or a minor league freak. Because he was one of those guys who was one of the best minor league players ever not to play in the bigs. He said his roommates always went. One of them was john. Baker three inmates went to the big he was about to get called up by the cardinals. He was a he was on team. Usa he played with mark teixeira and hobby. Here naty and those guys. Just an absolute star. Well we went to the cardinals. He had some really interesting our pool hall stories to tell but will one thing that he said about pool. Halls was the work ethic was insane. He'd say he'd be the first guy there and he'd be in the cage and he would just he said i remember tag told me that pulls would just be dripping with sweat just Bam bam just nonstop working. I remember our pool halls. His wife Dadri she told the story about how when they met that she kept it a secret that she had a kid who had down syndrome because she was so amazed our pulls liked her he was a youngster in the bigs and she said he's not gonna want me anymore and then she revealed that i tell you something and he's like yeah. I got no problem with it. That's great which made him sound almost like he was canonized. But i mean pull's is a guy who terrorise both leagues You know he was As i mentioned a rookie of the year twenty years ago This is by the way something. This is the statement from anaheim anaheim l. a. The angels organization quote gauges organization proudly signed our pool halls. Back in twenty eleven and our honor that he is warning angels jersey for nearly half of his hall of fame career.

We are thankful to the entire pool holes family. Monday said forty one years old patent one ninety eight and this has been coming now after the he clears in the angels. Pay him twenty six million dollars to play for another team. What would be those teams. While there are some connections and the most obvious one is the tony larussa connection who managed him for all eleven of his years in saint. Louis and the white sox have been hammered with injuries with a lawyer. Jimenez lewis ro bear but the problem is pool halls camp playing the outfield and neither does the hot rookie year mean mercedes. Who is tearing the cover off the ball and his locked in at the age and jose o'brady who is one of the best first baseman in baseball american league. Mvp so i. i don't see a fit there. But don't rule out larussa who still learning the rules to bring him in the reds lost. Joey votto to broken thumb yesterday. He's gonna be out several weeks so they're going to go with a guy like alex blandino or cal farmer or mike dacas. We don't know jonathan india. Nick sends all might move around the infield. You look at cleveland at first base right. Now that jake bowers you chang. Combo is hitting one eighty nine. That's worse than pool halls. They have zero home runs together. Pull halse has five and you think about how price conscious there are. You're going to get out of pools for the major league. Minimum that to me looks like the best fit now. The yankees the yankees right now as luke void working his way back from knee injury their first baseman have combined to hit one fifty nine and they already took a low cost flyer on a bounceback candidate and rude netto door but he's not going to be d. h. She got giancarlo stanton there. Then you have the cards for an install jin reasons. They don't have a d. h. They're paul goldschmidt at first base. So let's just stop that argument right there but the most likely outcome is that he's going to have to retire and let teams have been steering these one dimensional first baseman d. h. types out to the pastor of the last few years and as i said pool holes is four years away from the last time he was good. The pedigree of the name could get him a job. But the probably. If you're a betting you're saying this is it and if it is The game he played on tuesday. He went one for four against tampa bay.
