00:00 All right, let's let's move on.
00:03 We could talk about the Cincinnati Reds and the Milwaukee Brewers.
00:07 The Brewers beat up on them again.
00:10 The problem remains the same.
00:13 You know, the Reds, they make a run, they make a run, they make a run,
00:16 and then they fall back a little bit and they have played nine games.
00:19 They went two and seven against the Brewers over the last month of the season.
00:24 I mean, I've said this on Forel Coast to Coast.
00:27 I'll say it again here.
00:28 If the Reds don't add two pitchers to their rotation,
00:33 they don't care.
00:35 They don't care about their fans.
00:36 I mean, they are, Craig, they are throwing out three guys with ERAs
00:40 north of five and a half right now.
00:42 I mean, and maybe maybe the ownership group says, you know what?
00:45 We got these young, cost controlled guys.
00:47 We'll really go for it next year. Right.
00:50 But it just it just it's so antithetical to the spirit of baseball
00:54 to have this young, exciting group and say, it's not our year.
00:58 We'll do it. We'll do it next year.
00:59 I really would hate that.
01:02 Well, I mean, the Orioles did kind of do that last year.
01:05 I don't know that they were in the exact position that the Reds were,
01:07 but they're counting on Hunter Green coming back.
01:10 They're counting on Nick Lodolo coming back.
01:13 Look, I understand the sentiment and they are sort of on the doorstep.
01:18 But I got to say, Davis, at the end, you're not going to like to hear this,
01:21 but I think they kind of got a wake up call here playing against the Brewers.
01:25 I just don't think they're going to catch them.
01:26 They cannot beat them.
01:28 I think they'll probably do something,
01:31 but I don't think it's going to be to the degree of like an all in scenario.
01:36 And by the way, just sort of knowing this market as to what's going on
01:39 as far as what you're talking about, like starting pitching.
01:42 I will put you throw you under the bus here on the show, Davis.
01:45 But when you're done with the show, go take a look at what's available
01:48 in terms of starting pitching right now.
01:50 It's it's bad. It's bad.
01:52 Jordan Montgomery is like the best guy available.
01:54 It's not great.
01:56 So it's like, well, let's give them Jordan Montgomery
01:58 and they're not going to get Lance Lynn, but let's give it Lance Lynn
02:01 and his six ERA to Cincinnati.
02:03 You know, what are they doing here?
02:06 Like, is that really going to do anything?
02:07 So I expect the Reds to add a small piece.
02:11 I don't expect them to go all in this year.
