00:00And now you got to just a dejected Reds team that where do they go from here at this point?
00:05Is it all but over now?
00:09I mean, you're right when if they score, they lose.
00:12If they don't score, they lose.
00:13You know, like it just doesn't seem to make a difference.
00:15It's a really I've watched them just more closely recently because they played Miami and then watch the games because
00:22you and I have been doing this together.
00:24It's actually doing these shows has really brought me a lot more closer to the league because I'm not focused
00:29on the Marlins when I'm doing the Marlins games.
00:32Remember, I'm sitting, you know, doing the pre and post game and then I'm up and I'm up in the
00:37press box and we're not I'm broadcasting the games.
00:40I'm not watching the other games, Joe.
00:41I wake up in the morning and I look at the condensed stuff.
00:43So I've had an opportunity sitting here with you to really watch.
00:47You probably are watching more closely than me on some of these games, to be honest with you, with baseball
00:50this season.
00:51And I and I thought at the beginning of the season, Joe, when I was doing some of these shows
00:55at the Reds, we're going to be a postseason team.
00:57I still can't figure out why they're so bad.
01:00They kind of fall into that Seattle category for me a little bit.
01:04So I'm going to I'm going to guess that that's another team that will consider a blow up at the
01:10end of the season.
01:11Yes, I'm going to consider that.
01:12I don't think that I don't think that means trading Eli Dela Cruz, but I do think you can't have
01:18McLean and Friedel, who was so good a couple of years ago.
01:22Eli Dela Cruz, Eugenio Suarez.
01:25Joe, you have the rookie of the year.
01:28He's going to lead the majors or the National League in RBIs and home runs and Sal Stewart.
01:33And you're terrible.
01:34And you have Chase Burns, who's going to finish second or third in the Cy Young.
01:38Joe, that can't happen, man.
01:40You can't have that much talent and be this far under 500.
01:44You could be 64 and 64, but the Reds are now six games under 500, trending toward a 75-win
01:54season with maybe Cy Young Award winner, maybe rookie of the year winner.
02:00Joe, come on, man.
02:01Can't have that.
02:02No excuse for the Reds.
02:04I mean, they went through some injuries, but so did everybody else.
02:08And when you're losing games like this, yikes, I think it's all but done.
02:13But it gives Arizona a day off and maybe an opportunity to right the ship a little bit here.
