0:02
[SPEAKER_06]: on those days since I went to a sports center, I talked with our people's guy Mike Rich about being with Carl Lyle, contract its tension and they are now turning their tension that they need to make sure.
0:16
[SPEAKER_06]: And remember, I'll say I spoke with John Robertson about being the latest in me.
0:22
[SPEAKER_06]: Bad rash of injuries should be in me if you were included maybe a set advocate in court.
0:29
[SPEAKER_06]: I also spoke with, I already replied that I was worried about the upcoming race in Milwaukee, and the most recent incongrues, and I spoke with a dozen days in the South Island about it.
0:42
[SPEAKER_06]: So Wednesday, covering tipped in medicine maintenance, was on its every morning for round-up of what's going on in Central India's course.
1:04
[SPEAKER_03]: You're listening to the central Indiana Sports Report with your host, Greg Mendel.
1:13
[SPEAKER_06]: Good morning, good afternoon or good evening.
1:16
[SPEAKER_06]: I am your host of Central Indiana Sports Central and the host of the Central Indiana Sports Report Greg men get here on the morning of Thursday, August, when he first here to give you a little Pacers fever in D car and high school tennis news, along with ten minutes of Greg and Mike in the morning.
1:42
[SPEAKER_06]: We start Thursday's Indiana Sports Central with some Indiana Pacers news and our guy Mike Rich.
1:50
[SPEAKER_06]: Joining me now is our Pacers guy Mike Rich who is back in Indiana from Green Bay where he went and said hello to curly and vents which is required if you're a sports fan in you are in Green Bay.
2:05
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, you're gone, Mike.
2:06
[SPEAKER_06]: The Pacers signed Rick Carlisle to a long-term deal.
2:10
[SPEAKER_06]: And I remember talking when they hired him.
2:12
[SPEAKER_06]: And I said, why did they hire a has been?
2:15
[SPEAKER_06]: And now I'm excited he's getting another contract.
2:19
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm excited he got another contract.
2:23
[SPEAKER_05]: I think four years, twenty-nine millions, what his current contract is and to get an extension.
2:28
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, to turn that team around two years to rebuild and be where we were last year in this year, four-year turnaround in that contract.
2:38
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, he was well, we're being extended.
2:41
[SPEAKER_06]: Now that Rick Carlio has been taking care of and rightfully so, they now turn their attention to Aaron Measmith and Andrew Nimhard, who we know they want to sign.
2:53
[SPEAKER_06]: and perhaps been a dicked mother and who I think's going to be playing for a contract this year.
2:57
[SPEAKER_06]: What should their priorities be?
2:59
[SPEAKER_05]: I think their number one priorities should be Andrew Nimford.
3:04
[SPEAKER_05]: And then I've always been a mother and fan.
3:07
[SPEAKER_05]: I'd love to see him have a mother, but
3:09
[SPEAKER_05]: I think if he plays really well this year, I think he would be a good bargaining chip for the future as well.
3:19
[SPEAKER_05]: If we had to sign and trade or something like that.
3:21
[SPEAKER_05]: So if I had to pick three of the two and be physically responsible for it, I would say, Nim Harden Eastmith, you can't go wrong there.
3:30
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that is not really
3:33
[SPEAKER_05]: They do, they just fit in with what Carlisle's trying to do.
3:37
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think Carlisle will continue to develop both NEM hards game and Nesmas.
3:45
[SPEAKER_05]: I think Nesmas got more growing to do, but I think Madder will be a little more
3:51
[SPEAKER_05]: challenging to tackle, to fit into the chemistry of the team that we have right now.
3:56
[SPEAKER_05]: Because I think he wants to be the primary score.
4:00
[SPEAKER_05]: And for this year, that's going to be great.
4:03
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think we're going to, we could potentially see a really good season out of Benedict Mathern.
4:10
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's going to make it difficult the end of the year if they're going to want to continue to stay with that and keep him with Siakum and Haliburton and Nemhart in the future.
4:21
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm bad to pick two of the three.
4:23
[SPEAKER_05]: I would say New Smith and NEM hard.
4:27
[SPEAKER_01]: While I'll tell you what, I think Mathern is going to be interesting because right now, here he hasn't even played a minute this season, but he's trying to talk and his people won thirty million dollars a year and he's not proven to be worth thirty million dollars a year yet.
4:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not consistently.
4:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's going to be interesting if they think they're close to resigning nasemith and, or niece myth, and them hard, they may trade, matter in this season, during the season, before the trial deadline.
4:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they may need, you know, a piece or something, and he may be pivotal, because we all know every year there are teams that want somebody to make that push for the NBA championship or the finals, and
5:13
[SPEAKER_06]: Everybody check out the Pacers report with Mike Rich.
5:16
[SPEAKER_06]: It might be a week or two before we do another one, but we just had one recently.
5:20
[SPEAKER_06]: So go and check that out.
5:22
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you so much, Mike.
5:25
[SPEAKER_06]: Welcome, John Robertson, our fever guy, to Central Indiana Sports Central, to talk a little fever.
5:32
[SPEAKER_06]: And John has been five days since the fever played.
5:35
[SPEAKER_06]: We expected for you to be taken some time off as our correspondent.
5:38
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's been nothing but news ever since then.
5:42
[SPEAKER_06]: And now we have some, I guess, set back for Caitlin.
5:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, the report I saw said that Caitlyn got a bone bruise, it practiced in Phoenix, but it shouldn't affect her time table for return.
5:59
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the official, like, statement.
6:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, I don't know about you, but I feel like that's definitely going to set back the time table for her return.
6:10
[SPEAKER_06]: And let her return wasn't set for a while.
6:13
[SPEAKER_04]: That's fair.
6:15
[SPEAKER_04]: If they're not saying what they're kind of saying.
6:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
6:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, I want Caitlin to be healthy.
6:24
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want another Tyre's caliber in situation where we're out for a full season again after this, right?
6:31
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
6:33
[SPEAKER_04]: As a gambling person, I think my strategy for this scenario is you play the next few games.
6:41
[SPEAKER_04]: They're still in the playoffs based on the standings.
6:43
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think you play the games without Caitlyn.
6:47
[SPEAKER_04]: See how it goes.
6:49
[SPEAKER_04]: If you're still in the playoffs, keep working her back for return.
6:52
[SPEAKER_04]: If it doesn't look like it's gonna happen anyway, let her rest in heel and then play next season.
6:57
[SPEAKER_04]: And I hate to say that as a fever fan, but I honestly think that might be the best strategy.
7:01
[SPEAKER_06]: fever are back in action Friday and Sunday against the Minnesota links and it looks like no no fees are call your either.
7:09
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a benefit for the fever.
7:11
[SPEAKER_04]: I still know that they have the firepower without with all the injuries without airy without Sophie.
7:18
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, the sad is it is a loss, right?
7:21
[SPEAKER_04]: But I don't know if it's as an impactful loss as it's the other ones, but I just don't know that they have it.
7:26
[SPEAKER_06]: The fact that the her injury piled on the others is what's so damaging.
7:32
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, absolutely.
7:33
[SPEAKER_04]: And as I hate to say it, DJ Nick Errington's been a good pickup for the Lynx.
7:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, she's been impactful for their games and she's been helping fill the role she needs to fill.
7:42
[SPEAKER_04]: So I still think the Lynx are doing really well.
7:45
[SPEAKER_04]: I still think between them and New York, they're the favorites to win the whole thing at this point.
7:49
[SPEAKER_06]: So splitting this weekend would be a success.
7:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'd take fifty-fifty this weekend.
7:56
[SPEAKER_06]: John Robertson thinks so much yesterday, John and Michelle, his partner on the fever report, and Sam Frick and Mike Huttel and I talked about the injury to Sophie coming him and John T's day conspiracy theory coming Saturday on the regularly scheduled fever report.
8:17
[SPEAKER_06]: Thanks so much John for your time always appreciate it.
8:19
[SPEAKER_06]: My pleasure to see you later.
8:23
[SPEAKER_06]: I am joined now by Elijah Poe.
8:25
[SPEAKER_06]: Elijah is our indie car guy.
8:27
[SPEAKER_06]: Elijah and I just recorded our indie car report.
8:31
[SPEAKER_06]: We released last night.
8:32
[SPEAKER_06]: If you have not listened to it yet, go back and listen to it.
8:34
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a good one.
8:35
[SPEAKER_06]: Really good conversation every time we talk Elijah.
8:39
[SPEAKER_06]: But Milwaukee is on Sunday.
8:42
[SPEAKER_06]: One of the top stories heading into that race.
8:45
[SPEAKER_02]: We're definitely going in again with another week coming off a willpower win.
8:50
[SPEAKER_02]: We're definitely looking at that team pensky storyline.
8:53
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not sure if willpower is going to be signed.
8:55
[SPEAKER_02]: to Team Penske in twenty twenty six.
8:57
[SPEAKER_02]: With David Malukis kind of in the shadows and also almost super interested to see where those are and and dreadies are able to kind of salvage their their end of the season.
9:06
[SPEAKER_02]: They've had a really rough stretch of the second half to see them maybe get some points as we as we close out twenty twenty six would be big with only two races left on the calendar.
9:15
[SPEAKER_06]: And on an oval you would think that a andrody will be very competitive.
9:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah and they need it they've had a really bad stretch of races.
9:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Kyle Kirkwood's pretty much been nowhere cool in the herd has been in the mix a few times but has been inconsistent in races and same with Marcus Ayrickson who just had a really up and down years a whole.
9:34
[SPEAKER_06]: Speaking of Marcus's, Marcus Armstrong has signed a deal through twenty twenty six to race another season for Meyer Shank.
9:43
[SPEAKER_06]: big news for Myers.
9:44
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think that's a big deal for them.
9:46
[SPEAKER_06]: Having Marcus Armstrong, the young New Zealander and Felix Rosenquist, the young sweet is a really good sign for that young team.
9:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I said this in the podcast, but I really do believe it is one of the best driver lineups on the grid.
10:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Felix Rosenquist was had
10:02
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of experience in indie car and you have Marcus Armstrong who's still really getting his ropes in indie car both are very fast both are very great racers and this Meyer Shank organization as the whole has really been on the up in twenty twenty five and I'll be really interested to see where they can end up in twenty twenty six because these cars look very competitive and I mean both drivers are in the top ten of the championship that is given Meyer Shank racing their flowers they deserve it
10:27
[SPEAKER_06]: Elijah, we also heard a rumor that I think it's pretty well-founded in the facts.
10:32
[SPEAKER_06]: Young Norwegian driver Dennis Howger, we believe, has a intended relationship with Anne Dreddy, and the rumor is that he will be the next driver, Hunkos Hollinger, which we bring up only the reason we would bring up a rumor is that could mean some bad news for the Central Indiana Sports Report's favorite driver, and that's Conner Daley, but you believe that Conner's gonna be safe because he's just too good on the surface, right?
10:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I do.
10:56
[SPEAKER_02]: If you take away the road in street courses and just look at oval points, Connor Daly's is seventh overall, which is remarkable for that small of a team he's in.
11:05
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't want to be a lot higher if it wasn't for some bad luck.
11:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
11:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, he's really proven himself on ovals these past couple years and it really feels like this year.
11:15
[SPEAKER_02]: He's found his stride and he really has been so aggressive, but he's also a great racer and any team would be lucky to have him on ovals that is for sure.
11:24
[SPEAKER_06]: Elijah, thank you so much for your time always appreciate it and once again everybody listen to the indie car report which is already out.
11:32
[SPEAKER_06]: Also, Elijah and I will be previewing the race at Milwaukee on Saturday after qualifying and then we will be reacting to the race at Milwaukee which Elijah is one of the best of the year.
11:46
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
11:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really excited to see them on a short oval here.
11:49
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, not a lot of banking in those corners, so it's pure speed.
11:52
[SPEAKER_02]: It should be a great race.
11:54
[SPEAKER_02]: It always provides some of the best racing in one of the best markets that any car has all year.
12:00
[SPEAKER_06]: Welcome back to Central Indiana Sports Central Michelle Garmin sports editor of the fifth interview in an L.wood collator.
12:07
[SPEAKER_06]: We are out at the L.wood golf course talking some paces, cone football coaches and but earlier today you
12:17
[SPEAKER_06]: had another assignment.
12:19
[SPEAKER_06]: The first week over the, uh, Spritt Falls Sports season has been a busy one that's five things that you've covered in three days.
12:26
[SPEAKER_01]: That is correct by things in a three days.
12:28
[SPEAKER_06]: You had a tipped in four to one win over Madison Grant and boys tennis.
12:32
[SPEAKER_06]: They're first win over the
12:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
12:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was a good one for Tipton.
12:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And they are now three and one on the season.
12:40
[SPEAKER_01]: They're only a loss was in the season opening match.
12:44
[SPEAKER_01]: They participated in the Hamilton Heights Husky Invitation and lost the Frank and three to two.
12:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll talk a little bit about Frank and later two because they had a tough three to two loss tonight to come up the heights.
12:52
[SPEAKER_01]: for tipped in a mashing grant, and it was over quickly at number two and number three single stippons, juniors, Owen's Fidel at two singles, and then junior Peyton Aller at number three singles were six o'clock so far.
13:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Mashing grants, when their loan point was scored by their number two doubles team, you like Chastain and Leo Hood, they defeated tippons J. Spakes and Henry Wallace, six o'clock, six o'clock.
13:20
[SPEAKER_06]: I know both of those guys.
13:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there was a little bit of a tip and shook up.
13:23
[SPEAKER_01]: It's land up a little bit because they were missing there.
13:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Seeing, they were missing senior Isaac Hummer counts, you know, number one doubles.
13:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So they took Grant Day who'd been playing two doubles and moved him up to number one doubles with Kurt Grimmel and Kurt and Grant defeated tip or Madison Grants.
13:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Carson Chastain and Aaron Moon, six, three, six, four.
13:51
[SPEAKER_01]: The best match of the night was at number one singles where Tipton's Evan Coe took on Master Grant's Luke Nelson.
14:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Evan, one, seven, five, seven, five.
14:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a big win for Kobe, because he actually trailed four to one in that second set, and he came back in one, seven to five.
14:15
[SPEAKER_01]: The two exchanges are really good and long points, both Joan and Thout played really nice tennis times.
14:21
[SPEAKER_06]: And if you beat a Nelson, no matter which Nelson it is, it's a big win.
14:26
[SPEAKER_06]: It's an inside joke, sorry.
14:28
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
14:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, Greg is who knows a lot of these guys.
14:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Greg's a good guy.
14:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
14:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know, it was, uh, it was a good night for the blue double.
14:35
[SPEAKER_06]: You mentioned Frank to an in-piddle tonight.
14:37
[SPEAKER_06]: So of course, we heard from Frank to tell us what we had no about that.
14:41
[SPEAKER_01]: What we know about this win is, I don't know how much, I don't think we've talked about Madison Grant or not Madison Grant ranked in tennis.
14:51
[SPEAKER_06]: Not yet this year.
14:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
14:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they haven't never two singles player.
14:54
[SPEAKER_01]: We know the name of Bay of Familiar with them.
14:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I would imagine he's probably a pretty imposing challenge and he's got great courage because he's long and we are talking about Freshman Ashton Brobson, the son of Frank and boys basketball coach and athletic director, Brett Brobson.
15:14
[SPEAKER_01]: both his older brother, Aidan, who just graduated from Anderson University, and was a member of the Anderson University Men's Team, and his sister, Addison, was, they both played tennis at Franklin, and that both played at number one singles at one time.
15:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Ashton had one of Franklin's two points tonight.
15:31
[SPEAKER_01]: He won at number two singles six four.
15:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Lost the second set, seven to five in a tiebreaker, so he lost six, seven to six, and then he came back to win the superset, tiebreak, ten three.
15:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Frank's other point was scored by Josh Hobbs at number three singles, and Josh lost his first set in a tiebreaker, and lost eight to six in the tiebreaker, but came back to win the next two sets, six, one, six, three.
15:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So, thank you just,
16:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, see, like, he got in a groove and I just went on from there.
16:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever it was, it worked.
16:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
16:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And Franklin is now one and three.
16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: The Eagles are young.
16:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, none of these guys that are playing the three singles, they're, they're in placing the last year.
16:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, these singles for Franklin.
16:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I think maybe Josh Hobbes filled in a couple of times, but not when I would say regular, you know, and there are number two doubles seem of Davis, Blocks, and in Jack Fettic is relatively new too.
16:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Eli Burch, I believe played some varsity doubles last year and Bracks some more, I think played a little bit, played some too.
16:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So they don't really, they graduated a lot.
16:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So I would imagine I haven't had a chance to talk to Mark.
16:44
[SPEAKER_01]: lately, but I plan on next week as a Madison County tournament, but I want to imagine he's got to be kind of ways with how competitive his young kids have big.
16:56
[SPEAKER_01]: You're listening too.
17:05
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you, Susie, for that beautiful intro.
17:08
[SPEAKER_06]: Mike, it's very nice.
17:10
[SPEAKER_06]: Mike and Mike Rich and I were in Spanish class together and shout out to Seniorah Sharf.
17:16
[SPEAKER_06]: It's Seniorah Tracy.
17:17
[SPEAKER_06]: She was married while we were there.
17:19
[SPEAKER_06]: Mike is our Pacers guy, of course, and the Pacers are probably his number one team, but he's also a big fan of the cults.
17:26
[SPEAKER_06]: and a big fan of the Cubs, and so today we are talking some cults and subcubs rather than the Pacers, which we already did earlier today.
17:34
[SPEAKER_06]: So Mike, since the Cubs are in the night thinning and the game isn't over yet, let's start with the cults and your thoughts on the Daniel Jones Anthony Richards in Decision.
17:46
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that decision was made before.
17:48
[SPEAKER_05]: Preseason even started.
17:51
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they were dealing with going with Danny Dines when they signed him for to that.
17:57
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know what they do with Richardson.
17:59
[SPEAKER_05]: I know his agents throwing all kinds of shade out there against the cults and seems pretty frustrated.
18:08
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't blame him.
18:09
[SPEAKER_05]: He felt like that Richardson went off season and he worked on the things that
18:14
[SPEAKER_05]: He was struggling with.
18:15
[SPEAKER_05]: He came back and he was more prepared.
18:19
[SPEAKER_05]: But as much as he could prepare, he still has problems with accuracy.
18:25
[SPEAKER_05]: He still his completion rate was still not where it needs to be.
18:32
[SPEAKER_05]: Injury prone, you know, it's, I think it's just him being a fourth overall pick is probably the hardest thing to score.
18:45
[SPEAKER_06]: As we pointed out in the special cult report yesterday, when they announced Daniel Jones as the starter, that's the whole thing is he was the fourth pick over all they spent the fourth pick on him when guys like Jalen Carter were out there and available and when you do that and you each twenty years old at the time and you say to the media,
19:09
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to be patient with him because we know he's raw and then they're not patient with him.
19:13
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't understand it at all.
19:15
[SPEAKER_06]: And maybe he gave them signs that he's not serious about football.
19:19
[SPEAKER_06]: Even so, you know, Jamaica's Russell got more of a leash than this.
19:24
[SPEAKER_06]: It doesn't make any sense.
19:26
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think it's just a dysfunctional situation for a quarter back to go into with the Indianapolis culture right now.
19:36
[SPEAKER_05]: There's just no process to develop.
19:40
[SPEAKER_05]: He really did not get a chance.
19:44
[SPEAKER_05]: He was on a very short leash and it was
19:47
[SPEAKER_05]: And he was immature.
19:48
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, he was twenty years old.
19:50
[SPEAKER_05]: He's twenty-three.
19:52
[SPEAKER_05]: There are seniors, college that are older than him still to expect him to come out and to be Andrew Locker, to be Peyton Manning.
20:03
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just not going to happen.
20:06
[SPEAKER_06]: It looks like the culture had it for another one.
20:09
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, awful for Archie, is that what it is?
20:13
[SPEAKER_05]: Or awful for Arch.
20:16
[SPEAKER_06]: I think there are about six franchise quarterbacks from what I understand.
20:18
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's okay.
20:20
[SPEAKER_06]: Available in the next year.
20:21
[SPEAKER_06]: And Arch may not even be one of those.
20:23
[SPEAKER_05]: And it'd be interesting if the culture at the top of the draft next year with Cleveland, I was arched me while I wanted to come out.
20:34
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been saying all along like Peyton Manning is going to be the team president next year and he's going to just work it out, right?
20:40
[SPEAKER_06]: And he's going to be.
20:42
[SPEAKER_06]: That would be that would be kind of cool.
20:44
[SPEAKER_05]: That would definitely be kind of cool.
20:47
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been there for two years.
20:48
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the plan, I think.
20:50
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that I know Daniel Jones is not the answer.
20:55
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't have anything.
20:56
[SPEAKER_06]: I just wanted to disappointing about it is you go to Daniel Jones and what if they go eleven and six and then you bring him back next year and it's just hopeless at that point.
21:10
[SPEAKER_06]: You're thinking in the playoffs and you're losing the best case scenario of Daniel Jones.
21:17
[SPEAKER_05]: I think
21:19
[SPEAKER_05]: nine and eight and miss the playoffs.
21:22
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that's best case and and I think that's just because and I I feel bad for on this team is people like Quentin Nelson.
21:33
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean just an unbelievable lineman.
21:36
[SPEAKER_05]: Jonathan Taylor, fantastic running back.
21:39
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they have a good core of wide receivers.
21:42
[SPEAKER_05]: They got a great draft pick and they're tied in.
21:46
[SPEAKER_05]: I think he's going to be one of the best tight ends in the NFL in the next few years.
21:52
[SPEAKER_05]: But if you had to go back, they can throw ten yards down the field.
21:59
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't think it's Daniel Jones, and I don't think it's Anthony Richardson.
22:03
[SPEAKER_06]: You're absolutely right.
22:05
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, Mike, it's gone final.
22:07
[SPEAKER_06]: It really fast.
22:08
[SPEAKER_05]: I just watched it.
22:09
[SPEAKER_05]: The bases were loaded and it was a ground out and they won four to three.
22:15
[SPEAKER_05]: So yeah, I was watching as we were
22:18
[SPEAKER_05]: I was talking about the colds and kind of a little distracted maybe with the questions because I was, I mean, taking three of the last four against Milwaukee over the last few days, that's fantastic.
22:31
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, it still doesn't catch them up in the standing too much, but it does.
22:37
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, what trending kind of bad for the cubs?
22:40
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my gosh.
22:41
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's been so much better the last week or so.
22:44
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the last week, they're finally got a winning record over the last ten games.
22:48
[SPEAKER_05]: And Milwaukee is not winning, fourteen in a row.
22:52
[SPEAKER_05]: And they're six and four in the last ten.
22:55
[SPEAKER_05]: And Chicago's six and four.
22:57
[SPEAKER_05]: So then since an Aggies seven and three in the last ten, so they're not playing bad either.
23:02
[SPEAKER_06]: But I think your, I think the reds are going to make the playoffs.
23:05
[SPEAKER_06]: I think they are a good team.
23:07
[SPEAKER_06]: I really do.
23:08
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think this is a fluke at all.
23:09
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been watching lately.
23:10
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you think three out of the central?
23:14
[SPEAKER_06]: I think three out of the central I do.
23:15
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I don't think the Reds and Cubs have ever played in the postseason, despite the fact that they were in different divisions when we were growing.
23:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
23:27
[SPEAKER_06]: They could have, but neither, there was never a time when both teams were good.
23:31
[SPEAKER_06]: We grew up because we weren't usually very good.
23:34
[SPEAKER_05]: The Cubs were too hot for
23:36
[SPEAKER_05]: too long in the beginning of the season.
23:38
[SPEAKER_05]: And you knew there was going to be a point where things were going to shift.
23:42
[SPEAKER_06]: And I was starting to think they might be among those elite teams now.
23:46
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not sure.
23:48
[SPEAKER_05]: It's that middle relief pitching.
23:50
[SPEAKER_05]: They're just still really weak there.
23:53
[SPEAKER_05]: And they did not do anything in the trade deadline, really, to improve their situation.
23:58
[SPEAKER_05]: It's going to be exciting if I make the playoffs.
24:01
[SPEAKER_05]: And I mean, they have one hell of an offense.
24:05
[SPEAKER_06]: Mike, I assume you feel pretty good about the covers making the playoffs.
24:09
[SPEAKER_06]: They have a three game lead on the Padre's and the top wild card spot and five and a half over the mess and six over the reds.
24:18
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I definitely feel pretty comfortable thinking they're going to at least be in the wild card to take a tremendous downfall of Milwaukee to win the division.
24:32
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't see that happening like a shell set or a way, right?
24:35
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't see them taking them to vision.
24:39
[SPEAKER_05]: But definitely.
24:40
[SPEAKER_06]: Seven to three and fifty four at this point in the season.
24:46
[SPEAKER_06]: They've scored a hundred and sixty more runs and they've given up.
24:49
[SPEAKER_06]: Countless fans have to be pretty thrilled and it's been a really nice season for Pete Crow Armstrong.
24:55
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, he was struggling a little bit recently, but I think he's coming out of that slump.
25:01
[SPEAKER_05]: And again, to beat the top team in the league, Milwaukee, the last three games, three in a row, and that's just fantastic.
25:12
[SPEAKER_05]: But this is a team that you know, they lost the series against the day on Pirates together a couple days ago.
25:20
[SPEAKER_05]: so that that kind of stuff's frustrating all and all and I'm excited to get a cup's fan and excited to see them playing a playoff scope play this year and I think they're getting the rest maybe I think they'll get to ninety-one ninety-two wins this year and being a good position and being a wild card I think they got it a good shot and possibly coming out of the national league that would be kind of cool
25:47
[SPEAKER_06]: Mike thanks so much for joining Greg and Mike in the morning.
