  Speaker 1: Well, there you go. A little Guardian's rain delay. And
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: it's raining, so it means we go back to it here.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: On a Wednesday afternoon, June 24th, it's 79 degrees and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: welcome one and all. Ron Furp from NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: It's hump day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: At least raining in Chicago, but not here in our
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: neck of the woods. The sun is shining, and it's
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a beautiful 79 degrees, as I say. And as always,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: we'll take your calls at 330-729-9977 if you want to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: get on board with us. 330-729-9977. We'll get you through

  Speaker 1: to us on News Radio 570 WKBN. So feel free
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to pick up the phone. Give us a call. 330-729-9977.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: We'll take, we'll conversate. Perhaps, perhaps the game will get
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: going in an hour or who knows. It could get postponed.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: You never know what could happen as far as rain
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: delays are concerned. So we shall see what the story is.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: How about the Democrat Socialist winning all of these primaries
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in New York? I mean, Clay and Buck were talking
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit about that today. Everybody's kind of talking
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: about it today. Just a different mentality, I think, from
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that's... I don't know if they
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: just have had it with the... How would you describe it, gang?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: How would you describe it? I mean, you see the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Democrat Socialist winning... in primaries and a lot of the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: vote that they're getting is coming from what we'd consider
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to be the younger voters who in essence might be
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: saying they've had enough. They, and does anybody really believe
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that socialism is going to work? I mean, now they portray,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: they don't even hide. They say we're Democrats, socialists, they're
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: running as Democrats, socialists. And does anybody think that socialism
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: will work? And is that a result of some people
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that think capitalism has just gotten so far out of
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: whack that the gap between the haves and have-nots keep growing?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And what do they call it? The income distribution is
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: just too much at the top, not enough at the bottom.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Younger people saying it's the idea of being able to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: buy a home is becoming more and more difficult for
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: them to Achieve the American dream. And in some cases,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: simply to be able to buy a car. And just
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: some of the... Some of what people are maybe used
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to when they talk about the baby boomers. And in
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: many cases, talking about the baby boomers in a very
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: negative light. A negative light like, boy, you guys really
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: screwed it up. You guys really screwed it up. So,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that's why you're seeing a lot of these folks in... what,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: New York, which is a liberal area to begin with,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that are basically saying, okay, they've had enough, and they're
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: going to give a go of it with the Democrat Socialists.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Not just your standard Democrats. Democrat Socialists. I mean, it's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: definitely interesting. One other thing that I've been meaning to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: get to this week, and I'm looking for it, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that I get it correctly, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it has to do with Social Security when we talk
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: about it. And We talk about the really billions of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: dollars that we give to all of these foreign countries.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And it is billions of dollars. And yet the economic
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: issues when it comes to Social Security, excuse me, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Medicare are just getting more and more difficult. I think
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: they say the time frame is like seven years now.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: It is..
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Frightening, all right? So let me lay this on you.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I want to give you the details, then I'll get
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to some phone calls. Social Security has less than 10
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: years before reserves are exhausted, new trustee reports warns. So
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: let me give that headline to you one more time.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear it. Social Security has less
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: than 10 years before reserves are exhausted. The clock is ticking.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Faster for American workers and seniors. The Social Security Administration
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: newly released 2026 trustee report confirms that the federal retirement
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: safety net is less than seven years away from fiscal
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: depletion as the old age and survivor insurance trust fund
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: will completely exhaust its accumulated reserves in the fourth quarter
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of 2032. All the reserves that have been put in
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: it will be gone. Once the reserve dries up, ongoing
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: tax revenue will cover only 78%. So what they're saying is,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at this point in time, with workers paying into Social Security,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: only 78% of the scheduled retirement benefits will be covered.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So there's the potential for then in less than seven
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: years you could lose 22% of your Social Security. One
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: big beautiful bill act enacted on July 4th, 2025. This
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: law makes permanence the lower income tax rates and adjusted
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: tax brackets originally enacted under the 2017 Tax Cuts and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Jobs Act and both increases and makes permanence the large
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: standard deductions of the 2017 Act, the report says. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: so it's, I mean, it's basically telling you that there's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: big trouble ahead. I mean, big trouble ahead. As far
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: as the solvency of Social Security, we give billions of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: dollars to Israel, Egypt, to all these countries, billions of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: dollars every year. You don't think we should maybe concentrate
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: on the American retirees and take care of them? You
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: don't think that that might be something that should be considered?
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I put that forth to you today. This is an
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: interesting story. We shall talk about it here this afternoon,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: as well as many other things. Some great calls yesterday
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: about Schwebel's. If you missed it in the final hour
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of the program on Schwebel's, finally some people that were
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: retired from Schwebel's called. People that knew something about Schwebel's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: called yesterday. Some excellent calls with insight and some knowledge
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: as to the ending of that iconic bread in our community,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: 120 great years of Schwebel's. 120 great years. You're on air.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Hi there.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: How are you doing?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I'm doing well. Thank you for calling.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Ah, thank you for answering.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I do. I answer the call.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I try to do that, too. But anyhow, how is
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: it we always hear that they don't have the money
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: to pay back? The federal government doesn't have the money,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: enough money to pay on the interest on Social Security.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Well, what they're saying is, the reserves, that's the money
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that they've gathered over the years, will be depleted. And
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: at that point, it's pretty much a pay-as-you-go system. The
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: money that's coming in from workers is only enough to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: pay 78% of the benefits. That's what they're saying.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I keep hearing for the past 10 or 15
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: years that they have a big bill and they can't
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: even pay the interest. One of them is the interest
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: on Social Security.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: No, that isn't. I have not heard that. I mean,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I just find it interesting. Here's what annoys me. I mean,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you have to work and qualify for Social Security, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: they say, okay, and it's not a ton of money.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Here's what you get in retirement, whether it depends whether
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you took it at 62 or 65 or 68 or
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: 70 or whatever number you.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Took it at.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And how much you made and what you paid in
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. So they say, here's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the number. Now they're saying to you quite plainly that
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it was always a pay-as-you-go system. The money I pay
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: in in Social Security goes out to current retirees. You
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: follow me? It doesn't go in a savings account for me,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: or just as when you worked, the money you paid
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: in went out to existing retirees. It was during the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Reagan administration that Ronald Reagan bumped it up to have a–
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Social Security was never supposed to have a surplus. He
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: bumped it up to have a surplus to get the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: baby boomers through the system. So what they're saying here
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: is when the baby boomers get through the system, there's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: only enough workers paying into it. And I wonder if
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: this would change because of AI to pay 78% of
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: what we promised you. That's... That's what they're saying, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that's just at a time when we're giving billions of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: dollars out in foreign aid. There isn't a single thing
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that prevents them from putting a billion or two dollars
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: into the Social Security Fund so that we don't have
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to mess with changing what you are expected to get
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: down to a 78% of that number. That's what I'm saying.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I understand. I was always under the impression that one
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: of the things that conservative Republicans were saying to this Republican,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: that they can't pay the money back that they owe.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: No.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Nope. No, that is not the case. I mean, it's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: really sad when you look at this situation. I mean,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: when you read this It should frustrate the living you-know-what audience.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Stand by for me, my friend. Stand by. There's something
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: intriguing about that gentleman's voice every time I talk to him.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I put him on hold. Get to more of your calls.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: 322 in the afternoon. Ron Verp, stay tuned.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: 570 WKBN.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: All right, Heidi Ho. Good afternoon. News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Are you retired, my friend?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: And how long have you been retired?
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Too long.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: No, it's never too long. I mean, it's... Hopefully you
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: live a long time and it's a lot longer. Roughly,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: at what age did you retire?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I ended up going out on a disability.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. You told me. Yeah, that's right. You
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: got back issues, right, if I remember correctly? You got
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: some mobility issues. So really, you didn't have a choice.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Your body just kind of broke down to a large extent.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Do you struggle or are you comfortable with your Social
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Security and your retirement? Financially.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I'm comfortable with it because I'm getting what I paid
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: into it, but actually more because I live longer.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Social Security isn't a
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: ton of money that you get per month. I mean,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I forget what the average used to be, $ 1, 555. It
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: has gone up, obviously. But it depends what age you retired,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: how much you paid in, and that kind of stuff.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: So even if the average is $ 2, 000 a month for
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the average person, it's not a lot of money monthly
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to survive on.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Well, when I went to retire, they took a look
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: at all the facts and added it up and divided
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: by pi r squared and came up with I had
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: more time working by the month and by the money
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I put into it. So I actually paid the full
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: amount for the age of 65.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: But are you able to get by financially okay?
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I buy like I always have been doing. Buy
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: what I needed and thought about if I could afford
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: something I wanted. Yeah.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: See, what I'm saying to you is something's wrong in
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: this country when they say in less than seven years
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that there won't be any surplus money left. I understand that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: And we'll only be able to pay 78% of the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: obligation that we promised you that you would get in retirement.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that will happen. I honestly believe that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: they will... It's my belief, let me put it that way,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: emphasized belief that they'll put money into the system to
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: make sure that that doesn't happen. But I'm suspicious that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: when they put the money in the system, they will
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: also say, well, now we're going to raise the retirement age,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the full retirement age, instead of it being 67, we're
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: going to make it 70. And that really sucks because...
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: That's just true in younger generations.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, what it kind of boils down to
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: is the more money you make... Let's put it this way.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: For me to... On a normal paycheck, I put X
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: amount of dollars in, but I needed 11 hours of overtime.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: If I worked one hour over overtime, my net... on
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: my paycheck was less because I was putting more into
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Social Security. So I had to work 11 hours to
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: see an increase on my paycheck. It was what it
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: had come out to. So when I'm sitting here scratching
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: my head, thinking, my God, I was able to make it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Thank God I was able to make it. But what
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: about these people that right now are getting $ 600, 000 or
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: $ 630 or $ 700 or $ 900 a month on Social Security
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: because the job they worked for didn't pay that much
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: an hour.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: And so what you're looking at here is that a
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: lot of these places that they worked for made a
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: lot of money. Yep.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Well, if they would have increased their wages..
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: They would have a better retirement. I'm in total agreement. See,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: here's a great point that you're making. Let me do
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: my headlines, and I'll come right back to you. Stand
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: by for me, because he's making an excellent point. Because
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: let's say if you're at that bottom scale, like he's saying,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and let's say you have a 401k. You can't afford
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: to put any money into it to have a supplement even. Ah, yes,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: 333 on a Wednesday afternoon. A rain delay as far
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: as the Guardians game is concerned. It's 77 degrees. It's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: beautiful here. But I agree with what you're saying. I mean,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: this was a dilemma that you would see when you
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: would say Social Security is a supplement you're supposed to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: save for your retirement. But you're describing, well, people get $ 700, $ 800,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: $ 900 a month because they never made a ton of money.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And it's based basically on what you pay in. There
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: is a minimum, if you will, and that's around the minimum, $ 7, 900.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And you make an excellent point. They need all the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: money that they're making to live on. They can't afford
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to set money into a 401k or anything to have
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a supplement for their retirement. So when they reach retirement
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: age or whenever they decide they're going to retire, if ever,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: or their health determines it, all of a sudden they're
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: looking at $ 900 or $ 800 a month, something along those lines,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and you can't survive on that. I totally agree with
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: what you're saying.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: It amazes me, just like before you were talking about
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: the democratic socialists.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Nobody wants to be a socialist.
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Broaden the definition of socialism to where everybody's taken care
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: of that you can make a decent amount of money
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: and keep on moving on. But if we turn right
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: around and reverse that, and we give all these tax
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: breaks out, isn't that a form of socialism?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Not really, because there's a couple of things. If you're
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: giving tax breaks to people, you're giving them tax breaks
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: on their money, on being able to keep their money.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I would say to you, I get the anger, I guess,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: of young people. I understand why they're saying, why are
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: so many young people going down this Democrat socialist thing?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Think of your life and my life and think of
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: their life. How many young people are saying homeownership is
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: out of the economic reality for them as far as
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: homeownership is concerned? How many young people or people in
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: general think the cost of medical coverage is ridiculous and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the cost of hospitalization and medical care is just off
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the charts? It's so ridiculous as far as what it costs.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Well, it isn't just them. I mean, the ones that
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: you talked about. But think about it. I mean, they
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: want to raise their electric rates.
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Water rates are water rates.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: They want to raise this. They want to raise that. Now,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: how in the world can a person work for McDonald's
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: and can't seem to find himself another job to bring
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: it in? So now you take the he or she
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: or both are working one or two jobs just to
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: get by to buy things that they need. And if
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: they do it correctly, they'll live all right. But still
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: saying the fact of the matter is that they're not
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: making enough money. And yet, every time you turn right around,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: you hear about the drug people that make the drugs
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: and CEOs and corporations making. And I'm willing to bet
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: you it's in the billions. And they're giving these tax breaks.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: We could use a little bit more of that money
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: to help us so we could pay our bill. But
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: you're right. Why in the world are we spending... money
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: to countries that don't need it.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: We can't afford to do it. My point is, when
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I read that Social Security is going to have issues
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: in less than seven years, it's like, okay, come on,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: instead of sending billions of dollars out in foreign aid,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: let's put some of those billions into our retirement system
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: for our senior citizens. And we've got to stop the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: mentality of screwing young people in this society because, as
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: they say, well, if we put billions into it, mark
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: my word, they'll want to change the full retirement age
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: from 67 to 70 in hopes that you'll die before
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you ever collect it. The answer always is screw young people.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I'm against changing retirement age at all. It should remain
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: where it used to be, 65. It's now 67. I'm
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: against making it 70. I'm totally opposed to it. And
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: put some money into it and stop penalizing young people.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I understand their outrage. when it comes to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: what's going on economically. In many cases, they're upset with
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: baby boomers. They're upset because they look at the lifestyle
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: that the baby boomers lived and say, I'll never be
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: able to afford that lifestyle. I won't be able to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: afford a home. Once again, look at how expensive health
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: care is. God forbid if you get sick. And you're
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: pointing out, look how high taxes are anymore. Look how
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: expensive everything is, including basic transportation. So you're spot on.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: You're pretty wise for an old coot.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, once in a while, I think, right?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Once in a while.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: It always got me when my dad or my grandfather
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: or my wife's mom and dad, I don't understand you kids.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I don't understand why you don't have money.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: In the bank.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Well... When was the last time you bought a pair
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: of shoes? How much did that cost? When was the
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: last time you bought clothes and stuff and food? And
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: every time the prices keep going up, I've got grandkids
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: now that they'll be running for the rest of their lives.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're in line. I mean, to a certain extent,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I understand their anger at baby boomers. I really do.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: And when you people try to figure out what's up
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: with these people voting for Democrat socialism and that kind
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: of stuff, it's because they think capitalism has gotten too
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: far out of whack. I mean, I understand. You've got
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to look at it from their perspective. It's gotten too
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: far out of whack. Rents are too high. Home prices
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: are too high. Hospitalization's too high. Everything's too expensive. Wages
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: don't keep pace. You make an excellent point.
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: Hey, my friend.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: One of my grandkids went into the dentist to get
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: their teeth cleaned and one filling. Boom, $ 375. Right, right.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: No insurance, $ 375. And I can remember at their age,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I had insurance, and all I paid was $ 5 for
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: each filling, so that cost me $ 10.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: And you're right about the medical thing. It just amazes me.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: And I feel sorry for them, and I don't have
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: an answer for them.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Well, believe it or not, I'm a broken record. I
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: try to address the burden that taxes are putting on
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: young people today. Our politicians don't seem to realize it
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: because high property taxes make it difficult for young people
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: to buy a home. I mean, I'm trying to fix
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: that and battle that, but... It's falling on deaf ears.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Young people have a right to be pissed at the
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: baby boomer generation and society and the lot that we've
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: left them. Hey, my friend, it's great hearing your voice.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you for calling. I appreciate your time, as always.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Good guy.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Bye-bye.
• 22:12
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKBN. You're on the air.
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: Good afternoon, Ron. I totally agree. We should not give
• 22:19
  Speaker 10: one dime, one dollar to any foreign government or any
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: foreign entity for any reason until we can put it
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: in writing. We will fund Social Security for 100 percent
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: for the rest of our lives, the retirees right now
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: and the future retirees. That's just BS to be giving.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Our money away.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And we give billions away every year, billions and
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars.
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: That's got to be put in writing in law. We
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: can't do that. We need just to fund ourselves first.
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: We come first before the rest of the world.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Did you know in the Ukraine we were paying for
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: their first responders? We were paying their retirements. We were
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: paying their small business people to keep their shops open.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: The United States was funding all kinds of stuff. and
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: very well still could be in the Ukraine for the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Ukrainian citizens. And I thought to myself, but you don't
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: do that for the American citizen. I remember the U.S.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: taxpayer was paying the pensions in the Ukraine at the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: time Delphi workers weren't getting their pensions here. It was unreal.
• 23:22
  Speaker 12: Mm-hmm.
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: I think we need to get our congressmen and senators
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: from our area especially to come on the radio with you.
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: Let's talk about this and let's see which one of
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: them or how many of them will put forth legislation
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: to guarantee this and take it before Congress, take it
• 23:36
  Speaker 10: before the Senate, and fight.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: To get it passed.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Without any changes to the retirement age. Because anytime they
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: say to you, well, we're going to up their age
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: to 70, that merely says you're going to die before
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you ever collect it. And let's be realistic. You can
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: retire at 62 now and you get substantially penalized, less
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: money than if you take your Social Security at 66
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: or 67, the full retirement age. So you get substantially less.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: but guess what? You get more if you take it
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: at 66 or 67, but you have less life ahead, too.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Not everyone lives to be 90 years old, for God's sakes.
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: I took mine at 66.6, and it's not a great amount,
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: but it's a decent amount. It does help out with
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: living expenses, and for them to try to cut 22%
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: is insanity. I have one other question for.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: You, Ron. Yes, sir.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: You live in Austin County, correct? Yes, sir, I do.
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: Did you deal with that power outage we had this afternoon?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I was aware of it, yeah.
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: I live over here in the Ossetown area behind the plaza,
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: and we were about 5,000 people for a good three hours.
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: But you know what? I was amazed. I'm 68 years old.
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: I was amazed at how many people were going down
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: Route 46 at Norquist. The lights were all out. They're
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: going down 46 like it's the green lights are there,
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: not even trying to slow down and stop. Same thing
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: on New Road. Whatever happened, if the lights are out,
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: you come to a four-way stop automatically. They don't teach
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: us no more, or people just don't care.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: No, that's an excellent point you're making. In other words,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: they don't see the lights, so they keep on going.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's an excellent point. But I'm still curious
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: what caused that outage. I haven't heard. I mean, it
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: had to have something to do with a substation, didn't it?
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: I had got a little blurb on my phone, but
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: then when I checked it, it hasn't updated yet. I
• 25:19
  Speaker 10: forget what local station put it on there. It had
• 25:21
  Speaker 10: a vehicle in a utility pole. Must have been a
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: heck of a utility pole to knock out for 5,000 people.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: For that long?
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: I think we need to get.
• 25:29
  Speaker 10: Driver's training going again because these people, you know, lights
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: are out. You come to a four-way stop, you don't
• 25:34
  Speaker 10: blast through it. I lose my mind seeing people driving
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: like that.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. So let me ask you the question. How much
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: do you get a month in Social Security after working
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: all your life? I just want people to know it's
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: not a lot of money, is it? It's just not
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: No, it's not. And I got a pension from a
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: company I worked at, but I get $ 3, 000 a month.
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: But I got to take out almost $ 700 a month
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: just to put in for taxes at the end of
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: the year because I pay taxes on my Social Security.
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: I'm not Social Security tax-free like was promised, you know,
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: no taxes on Social Security. No, that's only to a percentage.
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: It's the same thing with no tax on tips. Only
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: up to a certain amount, then you're taxed on it,
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: you know. Yeah, nothing in this world is free, and
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: we didn't get no 100% tax-free Social Security or tax-free
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: on tips. That didn't happen.
• 26:23
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Well, there is a higher deduction you get when you
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: turn 65, and it's nothing to do with Social Security.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: But I think that goes away in three years, just
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: like the no tax on tips and everything like that, so...
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting. Let's see. Thousands of First Energy customers
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: in Mahoning County are without power. Wednesday, over 5,600 customers
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: are impacted, mostly in Austintown. The outage has closed Mahoning
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: County Court No. 4 in Austintown. First Energy spokesperson said
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the service should be restored by 2 p.m. They later
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: made that later in the day, but they did. Oh,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: it says following repairs at a substation. So there must
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: have been a problem at one of the substations.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know where you heard an accent.
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: Well, it's good hearing your voice, Ron, but like I said,
• 27:04
  Speaker 10: I think we need to get our lawmakers to pass
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: some heavy laws and get everybody on driver's training again
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: so they know how to drive on the damn roads.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry for saying that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: You got it.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: You need to learn how to drive.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: All right, brother. Thanks for your call. I appreciate it.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: It's all right. You're on the air.
• 27:18
  Speaker 13: I'm a greedy capitalist. I believe the only person entitled
• 27:23
  Speaker 13: to my money is me.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Well, what about all them women?
• 27:29
  Speaker 13: Well, that's a different story.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Now, in all seriousness, when I talk about Social Security
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: being in tough economic times in less than seven years,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, would you not agree that we give billions
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: of dollars away, we should take care of our retired
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: senior citizens and that fund and future retirees?
• 27:53
  Speaker 13: Well, I don't believe that the government... should be taking
• 27:58
  Speaker 13: care of anybody. That's why I'm a free market capitalist.
• 28:02
  Speaker 13: If people were allowed to, if people did not pay taxes,
• 28:08
  Speaker 13: they'd be able to save. And they could put money
• 28:11
  Speaker 13: in the stock market.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you didn't pay taxes... Who's going to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: plow your road? Who's going to, when you call the cops,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: who's going to show up at the fire departments or
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: come out and fix a water line and this kind
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: of stuff? Or run to jail to put criminals in it?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, there is a role for government. I think
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: we're all wise enough to know we have to pay
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: taxes in a civilized society.
• 28:33
  Speaker 13: Well, there's no reason you can't have private companies do that,
• 28:41
  Speaker 13: but You know, an earlier caller, Ron, said no one
• 28:44
  Speaker 13: is a socialist, but Rich the pharmacist wants politicians to
• 28:49
  Speaker 13: outlaw the export of oil. But we've all known for
• 28:53
  Speaker 13: years that not just Rich, that he hates the free market,
• 28:59
  Speaker 13: just Republicans over 50 and many Democrats like Bernie Sanders.
• 29:04
  Speaker 13: I mean, no wonder Tucker Carlson has left the Republican Party. Now,
• 29:10
  Speaker 13: I want to correct a small mistake you made.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, but let me correct something you said. Tucker Carlson
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: said he's had it with the Republicans, but he also
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: said that doesn't mean by any stretch of imagination he'll
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: vote for a Democrat. I don't know what that means,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: who he's going to vote for. He's concerned. He thinks
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: too many people in the Republican Party do not put
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: America first. They put Israel first. I happen to read
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: what he had to say.
• 29:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that's why they call him an anti-Semitic Jew-hater.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 29:38
  Speaker 13: Rich the pharmacist must be going nuts.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: He can't call me a Jew-hater.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: All right, forget what Rich the pharmacist says. Concentrate on yourself.
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: But I do want to correct a small mistake you made.
• 29:53
  Speaker 13: You said that you can contribute up to $ 7, 000 to
• 29:56
  Speaker 13: a Roth. For this year, you can contribute up to $ 8, 500.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: But would you not agree, though, I mean, any young person,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: it's if you can afford to do so and you
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: should make sacrifices to do so. Every person 20, 30, 40,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: 50 should have a Roth IRA, taxable money going in.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: It grows tax-free so there are no taxes on the
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: growth when you take it out. If you do that
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: in your 20s or 30s, you can put in, I guess,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: according to you, up to $ 8, 500. But if you can't
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: afford to do that, and I suspect most people cannot,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: at least put in a couple thousand a year or
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: a thousand a year. Put something in every year. The
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: power of that compounding over time will be eye-opening.
• 30:38
  Speaker 13: Well, that's great investment advice, Ron, and that's why I'm anti-tax,
• 30:43
  Speaker 13: because instead of $ 8, 500, save as much as you can
• 30:49
  Speaker 13: with no limits.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: It'll grow.
• 30:52
  Speaker 13: And I'll tell you another thing. I only put stocks
• 30:59
  Speaker 13: or bonds that pay interest in dividends in my Roth.
• 31:04
  Speaker 13: Everything else I put in individual bonds. brokerage account because
• 31:09
  Speaker 13: you're not taxed on capital gains unless you're super rich
• 31:13
  Speaker 13: and have almost $ 450, 000 in realized capital gains in a year. And, oh,
• 31:20
  Speaker 13: you know what? SpaceX, by the way, was trading below
• 31:26
  Speaker 13: its IPO price earlier today. That means now that everybody
• 31:31
  Speaker 13: that bought SpaceX as a paper loss is and Elon
• 31:35
  Speaker 13: Musk is no longer a trillionaire, that's why I would
• 31:39
  Speaker 13: tell people, if you're even thinking about buying SpaceX, now
• 31:44
  Speaker 13: is the time to call John Arnold or any certified
• 31:49
  Speaker 13: financial planner, because, Ron, SpaceX is not appropriate for everybody's portfolio.
• 31:56
  Speaker 13: People have different retirement goals and other financial goals. You know,
• 32:02
  Speaker 13: companies like this may or may not be good for you.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm looking at it, what I see here, June 24th,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: that's today, and it says it's $ 155. 28 a share. What
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: was it, the IPO, like $ 130, something like that?
• 32:20
  Speaker 13: Well, if you bought it at the pre-IPO price, but
• 32:25
  Speaker 13: I thought it sold at, The stock went public. $ 150
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: a share.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: And the IPO price was $ 135. Hit an all-time high.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: At $ 225.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Before experiencing a market pullback.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 32:41
  Speaker 13: No, I think that's why the financial news is saying
• 32:44
  Speaker 13: that it's below the IPO price. The way it works, Ron,
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: is because I used to work for an investment banker.
• 32:53
  Speaker 13: Your best clients, they offer you, before a company goes public,
• 32:58
  Speaker 13: shares below what the IPO price will be when it
• 33:03
  Speaker 13: goes public. So, for example, SpaceX, the best clients for, say,
• 33:10
  Speaker 13: Charles Schwab or Fidelity, they will get the lower price,
• 33:17
  Speaker 13: and then when it does go public, the general public
• 33:21
  Speaker 13: will buy it at 150 a share or more.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: You know the old cliche, buy high and sell low, right, Frank?
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: Just teasing.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's correct.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: All right, my friend, thank you. I'll be right back.
• 33:32
  Speaker 14: News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: All right, you're on the air.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Welcome.
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: Ronald.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: It's Ted the Conservative.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I put the radio on to see if the Indians
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: started yet, and I heard your voice.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Well, they were in a rain delay that started at
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: like 2 o'clock and it was 3 o'clock. It was
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: still going on, so we got out of that and
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: went to the program. And I'm just trying to check
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: on the status of whether or not where we are
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: in a rain delay or if they'll just postpone the game.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure it all out, Ted.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I think it might get postponed, but I was surprised
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: to hear you. And then I heard a guy say socialist,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: so I figured I would call. And repeat something I've
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: said about a month and a half ago because I'm
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: seeing that vision come to reality.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, in New York? But let me ask you this.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I am really glad you called. Bear with me, folks,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: because great minds need to be. uh, ask questions. And Ted,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the conservatives has a great mind. I, I said to, uh,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: previous callers, I would say this to you. I understand
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the young generation being pissed off. And I can even
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: understand why they're going in this direction to a certain extent,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: because the baby boomer generation made it. So they're looking
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: in homes, aren't affordable anymore. Uh, medical care costs are
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: so ridiculously high. Their wages aren't keeping up with inflation, uh,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: So they're saying..
• 35:03
  Speaker 15: Well, you have to remember.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Ron, even before all the things you just mentioned were true,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: they were still social. So it doesn't matter what the
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: cost of living is. It doesn't matter what the price
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: of a home is. They still exist. They walk amongst us.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: They're like... It's like an infestation you can't get rid of,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: and they just keep multiplying. So let me say this.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: About a month and a half ago, in the heart
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: of the Iran war, You and a lot of your
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: listeners were behaving as if we were on our deathbed
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: and we were going to lose the midterm election. And
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: I called you and said, Ron, it's the opposite. We're
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: going to win the midterm election. That's what you did
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: a month and a half ago. And you said, Ted,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: what are you smoking? Are you hanging out with J.J.?
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: And I said, no, I'm not hanging out with JJ.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: You're talking about winning this coming midterms, correct?
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: Yes, yes.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to repeat what you had asked me.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: How could I say such a crazy thing?
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Ted, how could you say such a crazy thing?
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I said this because I was not smoking with JJ,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: and I was able to think clearly.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: And the Iran war, I was able to see it
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: very clearly, unlike most of your callers. I could see
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: what the objective was. I could read through the BS
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: that the news media is putting out there. And I
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: knew it would be over relatively soon. I knew the
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: price of crude oil would fall. What's happening? I knew
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: the dust would settle because knowing the Democrats, they'll be
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: on to the next issue. Like I told you the
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: other day, first it was up. And it was, I ran, well,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: that's over. They don't care about that. Now it appears
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: to be the reflect.
• 36:42
  Speaker 16: Are you there?
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: All right, I hate that.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: All right, Ted, call me back. I definitely want to
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: hear Ted the Conservative. Wait a second.
• 36:52
  Speaker 11: Are you there?
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: What happened there? I mean, I certainly hope I'm not
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: having phone problems like we've had in the past. Ted
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the Conservative, call back because I want to pick his brain.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: You're on the air. Hello.
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: You're on the air.
• 37:12
  Speaker 17: You know, Ron, I just filled up gas at $ 3.
• 37:14
  Speaker 16: 99.
• 37:15
  Speaker 17: I was told President Trump was going to make things
• 37:18
  Speaker 17: more affordable in this country. 89% of individuals over the
• 37:22
  Speaker 17: age of 65 are willing to tax the younger generation
• 37:25
  Speaker 17: so they can maintain their standard of living.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're the perfect caller. You know, I was asking
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: this to Ted the Conservative. Let me look at my
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: clock here. I am glad you called because I'm going
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: to ask you this question and then I'll eventually find
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Ted the Conservative back. And I want you to bear
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: with me. Do you understand? I think you brought it
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: to my attention once. You gave a dissertation why you
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: say young people are pissed at the baby boom generation.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Did you not?
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: Many times.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: All right. So and I'm kind of stealing your thunder.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Did you did you not say when I say we
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: sit back and say, why are these why why do
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: we see these Democrats, socialists doing so well? And did
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: you not say in many ways capitalism has failed the
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: younger generation because they can't afford a home? Cars are
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: getting too expensive. healthcare is out of control, and they're
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: seeing their lifestyle decline. I know I didn't say it
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: as well as you did, but basically you said that's
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: why they're looking in another direction. Is that, am I going?
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 38:31
  Speaker 17: And not only is it that they're not doing great,
• 38:34
  Speaker 17: they're doing poorly. It's like if you're down to your
• 38:36
  Speaker 17: last $ 2, you don't put it into your Roth IRA
• 38:40
  Speaker 17: to try to get out of the hole. You do
• 38:41
  Speaker 17: something crazy like go play Keno. And that's what people
• 38:44
  Speaker 17: are doing nowadays. They don't have the money to have kids.
• 38:47
  Speaker 17: They don't have the money to buy a home. They
• 38:49
  Speaker 17: don't have the money to save for their future. And look,
• 38:51
  Speaker 17: they're getting taxed to oblivion.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Hang on.
• 38:55
  Speaker 14: Don't go anywhere.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Let me do my headlines and come right back to you.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: This should be excellent. Hang on, folks.
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: From ABC News, I'm Chuck Sebertson. There apparently was no
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: food fight, but lunch didn't go down so well for
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: some of the Republican lawmakers meeting with President Trump on
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: Capitol Hill for a midday meal today. It's a day
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: after a War Powers Act bill passed banning further military
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: action against Iran. And after many of those lawmakers expected
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: a political win-win in an election year with the president
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: signing a bipartisan affordable housing bill, Trump canceled the ceremony,
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: insisting Congress first pass his Save America Act, an election-related measure.
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: Congressman Pete Aguilar, Texas Democrat.
• 39:41
  Speaker 18: It's clear he doesn't care about the American public. It's
• 39:45
  Speaker 18: clear he doesn't care about the cost that people are facing.
• 39:47
  Speaker 18: This is a significant piece of housing legislation. Every House
• 39:50
  Speaker 18: Democrat voted for it, as you mentioned. Every Senate Democrat.
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: Voted for it.
• 39:55
  Speaker 18: The only no votes were from House and Senate Republicans.
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: After the lunch on Capitol Hill with Republican lawmakers, the president.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: I think we had a really great meeting. And we're
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: very proud of the party.
• 40:06
  Speaker 14: We like our leader.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: We like everybody really in the room. I don't like
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: a few people, but that's okay. I think you know
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: who they are.
• 40:12
  Speaker 8: One of those might be Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy. Sources
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: tell ABC News the meeting was tense with the president
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: frustrated over.
• 40:19
  Speaker 11: The War Powers resolution vote.
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: Sources say he and Senator Cassidy got into a shouting match.
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: Senate Majority Leader Thune and others tried to calm them down.
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: Cassidy says he is not sorry he stood up to Trump,
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: saying the president was trying to bully him. A federal
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: judge today barred Trump from implementing a proof of citizenship
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: requirement to vote and a demand that mail-in ballots be
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: received by Election Day.
• 40:41
  Speaker 11: ABC's Peter Haralambous.
• 40:42
  Speaker 19: Judge Denise Kasper wrote that the Constitution, quote, does not
• 40:46
  Speaker 19: grant the president any specific powers over elections. Separate from
• 40:50
  Speaker 19: today's ruling, Trump earlier this year signed a second executive
• 40:53
  Speaker 19: order on voting to create a national list of verified voters.
• 40:57
  Speaker 19: That policy is still being challenged in court.
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: At the close, Wall Street indexes are mixed. You're listening
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: to ABC News.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Hot summer.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: Podcasts.
• 41:07
  Speaker 11: At 570 WKBN.com.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: The end.
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: Now, Ron Verb.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: On News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 41:14
  Speaker 11: Well, good afternoon. 4.06 in the afternoon.
• 41:17
  Speaker 14: It's Wednesday, June 24th.
• 41:19
  Speaker 11: It's 79 degrees.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Ron Verb with you till noon. Perhaps we get back
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: to the game at some point. Rain delayed for the
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: afternoon Guardians game. All right, so pick it up with
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: where we were starting. You once explained to me why
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: young people were, we say, what's this up with them
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: voting Democrat socialism? And then you explained why capitalism and
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: the baby boomers have made so many younger people disenchanted.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Pick it up from there.
• 41:50
  Speaker 17: I mean, it's a whole big package to unravel there. But, yeah,
• 41:54
  Speaker 17: look who's paying the payroll right now. Look who's paying Medicare,
• 41:57
  Speaker 17: Social Security, Medicaid. It's the younger people that are working.
• 42:01
  Speaker 17: And older people, of course, you know, they work.
• 42:03
  Speaker 16: They put in their time.
• 42:06
  Speaker 17: And for all that, we don't have as many workers
• 42:08
  Speaker 17: paying into Social Security all those benefits. The younger generation
• 42:12
  Speaker 17: is carrying the handle, the mantle for all this. He's like, oh,
• 42:16
  Speaker 17: the younger generation, they don't want to work. They don't
• 42:17
  Speaker 17: want to do anything. Well, it's a product of the
• 42:20
  Speaker 17: environment that you were raised in. There's a lot of
• 42:23
  Speaker 17: people out there that don't want to work and don't
• 42:25
  Speaker 17: need to work because the government takes care of it
• 42:27
  Speaker 17: for them.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Watch money go.
• 42:29
  Speaker 17: And I just don't understand where everything's at right now.
• 42:32
  Speaker 17: The oil's down in the tanks as far as the
• 42:35
  Speaker 17: price goes per barrel. It's still $ 4 a gallon. When
• 42:39
  Speaker 17: the war, nothing happened with it. We're right back to
• 42:42
  Speaker 17: where we started. There's nuclear dust there. There isn't. We
• 42:45
  Speaker 17: put a new tariff on them.
• 42:47
  Speaker 16: We took it off.
• 42:48
  Speaker 17: I was told that with all the tariffs from back
• 42:51
  Speaker 17: in April of last year that we're going to take
• 42:53
  Speaker 17: in all this money.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Those are gone.
• 42:55
  Speaker 17: I love what Donald Trump stands for. I love everything
• 42:58
  Speaker 17: that he wanted to do, but I'm not happy with
• 43:00
  Speaker 17: what's going on. And the thing that makes me the
• 43:02
  Speaker 17: most upset is that he's going to botch the whole
• 43:04
  Speaker 17: thing for the midterms, and then he's going to be
• 43:06
  Speaker 17: a lame duck president for two years because everybody, these young,
• 43:09
  Speaker 17: disenchanted individuals, that even if they do go out and vote,
• 43:13
  Speaker 17: what are they going to do?
• 43:13
  Speaker 16: Are they going to vote for.
• 43:14
  Speaker 17: The person that says, go out and work harder so
• 43:16
  Speaker 17: that you can make more money? Or are they going
• 43:17
  Speaker 17: to vote for the person that says, oh, tax those
• 43:20
  Speaker 17: billionaires and take the money from them? Well, if you're
• 43:22
  Speaker 17: living in New York City and you've got six roommates
• 43:24
  Speaker 17: and you don't have a car and you're making $ 12
• 43:26
  Speaker 17: an hour delivering for DoorDash, who do you think you're
• 43:29
  Speaker 17: going to vote for? It's not going to get any better,
• 43:32
  Speaker 17: but I think it's a short-term solution. And those people
• 43:34
  Speaker 17: are just wackadoodle out there anyway. So add that on
• 43:37
  Speaker 17: top of it, it makes it even worse.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: So what I interpreted from what you said initially... which
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I try to spin off on today, is to a
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: certain extent, a lot of young people feel capitalism has,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say betrayed them, but it's not
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: working for them. I'm going to use cliches. The rich
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: keep getting richer. The gap keeps widening. And once again,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: they're saying, and they're looking at the baby boomers, I'll
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: never be able to afford a house. It's getting more
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: difficult to buy a car. Medical insurance is off the
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: charts and just to be able to afford medical insurance,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: and frankly, all the insurances, and the price of everything.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: So they're looking around saying, I'm not going to have
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: the same lifestyle as the baby boomer generation. Look at
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: what they've done to me, and look at the debt
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: of the country. This is why, am I right? This
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: is why they're pissed and they're saying, okay, this guy
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: over here is talking about the inequality and all that
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And they'll vote for that person.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 44:43
  Speaker 17: I mean, what are you going to do if you've
• 44:45
  Speaker 17: got 100 people you have to vote? Politicians, you need
• 44:48
  Speaker 17: all their votes.
• 44:49
  Speaker 16: Are you going to tell them.
• 44:50
  Speaker 17: What they need to hear or what they want to hear?
• 44:52
  Speaker 17: It's just individual people are smart, but a collective group
• 44:55
  Speaker 17: is pretty stupid, as evident in New York City and
• 44:57
  Speaker 17: in New York what happened the other night and throughout
• 45:00
  Speaker 17: Seattle and all these other places.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but didn't you define that pretty good to say, okay,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: how many of those people in New York are saying, well,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I can't afford to ever buy a a place to live,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: and rent is out of control, and finding a decent
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: job isn't that easy. I mean, they're just discouraged.
• 45:18
  Speaker 17: Right, and I mean, I don't know what the answer
• 45:21
  Speaker 17: is now. Should anybody be a trillionaire? Should Elon Musk
• 45:24
  Speaker 17: be a trillionaire? Is he today?
• 45:25
  Speaker 12: No.
• 45:26
  Speaker 17: I mean, I don't know the answer to that, but
• 45:28
  Speaker 17: the best way to get rich is providing the most
• 45:31
  Speaker 17: benefit to the most amount of people. So if Jeff
• 45:34
  Speaker 17: Bezos puts stuff on your front door... within 48 hours
• 45:38
  Speaker 17: of your ordering it, he's helping a lot of people.
• 45:41
  Speaker 17: He should be rich for that. If Elon Musk can
• 45:43
  Speaker 17: put stuff in outer space and electric car and give
• 45:46
  Speaker 17: you internet anywhere on earth, yeah, he should probably be
• 45:49
  Speaker 17: rich for that too. I don't know if the fact,
• 45:52
  Speaker 17: what are we supposed to do? Tell these people, hey,
• 45:54
  Speaker 17: you can't make this much money. What do you think
• 45:56
  Speaker 17: that's going to do to the incentives.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Of true entrepreneurs in our country?
• 46:00
  Speaker 10: It's just so.
• 46:00
  Speaker 17: Hard nowadays to get a semi-truck that's sitting stagnant, and
• 46:05
  Speaker 17: you've got to push it to get momentum for it
• 46:07
  Speaker 17: to ever actually go. The problem is now younger people
• 46:10
  Speaker 17: are starting way behind the eight ball before they even
• 46:13
  Speaker 17: can get going.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: But often what you describe is the reasons unions were created,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: was it not? The guy that you're talking about is
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: making all this money, but the worker is... is working
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: her tail off and just barely surviving. And isn't that
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: why labor unions were created, to try to get the
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: worker a better piece of the pie? They would say, okay, Bezos,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: you're still going to be extremely rich or whatever, Elon Musk,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: but you've got to pay the guy that brings a
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: package to your house enough money so he can survive,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: and you're not even going to miss it.
• 46:44
  Speaker 17: Well, how much are the union workers at the GM
• 46:46
  Speaker 17: plant making right now that's now idled and shut down?
• 46:50
  Speaker 17: That helped for them for, again, the boomers that were
• 46:53
  Speaker 17: working there, making money out their ears, working on an
• 46:57
  Speaker 17: assembly line, because they were all in a union. Then
• 47:00
  Speaker 17: it got slippery slope taken away to the point where
• 47:02
  Speaker 17: they abused it, and now the place isn't even there.
• 47:05
  Speaker 17: So they were making a lot of money then, and
• 47:07
  Speaker 17: now they're making none now. Same with the GE plant
• 47:10
  Speaker 17: in Erie. All these things that sound good in principle
• 47:14
  Speaker 17: until eventually it doesn't work, the whole thing comes back to...
• 47:19
  Speaker 17: The money is just so completely broken in our country.
• 47:22
  Speaker 17: We're $ 40 trillion in debt, and I don't blame any
• 47:25
  Speaker 17: individual baby boomer out there listening to this. I blame
• 47:29
  Speaker 17: the politicians and the way that everything was set up
• 47:32
  Speaker 17: to the point where, yeah, you could keep giving people
• 47:35
  Speaker 17: these handouts and promises to them because you got elected,
• 47:38
  Speaker 17: and then we just printed more money and kicked the
• 47:40
  Speaker 17: can down the road. And eventually, I don't know when,
• 47:43
  Speaker 17: but the poo-poo is going to hit the fan, and
• 47:45
  Speaker 17: we might be able to do this for a lot longer.
• 47:47
  Speaker 17: We can go $ 50 trillion in debt, $ 60 trillion, $ 70 trillion.
• 47:50
  Speaker 17: I have no idea. But look what the new chairman
• 47:53
  Speaker 17: of the Federal Reserve is doing. He's talking about possibly
• 47:55
  Speaker 17: raising interest rates. What are raising interest rates on $ 40
• 47:58
  Speaker 17: trillion in debt due to our national debt? You know,
• 48:01
  Speaker 17: what does that do to our bonds, the value of
• 48:03
  Speaker 17: our bonds that we try to sell to other countries?
• 48:05
  Speaker 17: What does that do to the value of our currency?
• 48:07
  Speaker 17: So what are we going to do, raise interest rates,
• 48:09
  Speaker 17: make it even harder to buy a house, a car,
• 48:11
  Speaker 17: go to school, all those things, so that you can
• 48:13
  Speaker 17: actually get an education?
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Do we lower.
• 48:16
  Speaker 17: Interest rates so that people can buy a house and
• 48:18
  Speaker 17: buy a car easier, so that we can have inflation
• 48:20
  Speaker 17: rip through the roof again? I mean, look what happened
• 48:23
  Speaker 17: during COVID. You know, people's houses in the greater Youngstown community,
• 48:27
  Speaker 17: some of them even died. doubled in price in the
• 48:29
  Speaker 17: last five years. That house didn't do any more work
• 48:32
  Speaker 17: to make that much more money. It's just that we
• 48:34
  Speaker 17: printed so much money that the value was worth less
• 48:37
  Speaker 17: and there were less homes. And there you go. It
• 48:39
  Speaker 17: goes through the roof. Yeah, interest rates went down great.
• 48:42
  Speaker 17: So every baby boomer that had a house and refinanced
• 48:45
  Speaker 17: it at 2.8% and now is never going to move, well,
• 48:48
  Speaker 17: where's the next person supposed to come in and get
• 48:50
  Speaker 17: their starter home from? Starter homes now around here, you can't,
• 48:54
  Speaker 17: I mean, for a nice one, a deep one, and yeah,
• 48:56
  Speaker 17: you can live, you know, in a dilapidated home for $ 40, 000,
• 48:59
  Speaker 17: but let's be realistic. You know, how is a 25-year-old
• 49:03
  Speaker 17: supposed to come out of college $ 100, 000 in debt, okay,
• 49:07
  Speaker 17: get married, start a family, and buy a house for
• 49:09
  Speaker 17: a quarter of a million dollars with interest.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Rates where they're at?
• 49:13
  Speaker 17: So, yeah, it's not a good outlook for the younger
• 49:17
  Speaker 17: generation right now. What are they supposed to do? Hopefully,
• 49:20
  Speaker 17: you have rich parents that can help you out.
• 49:22
  Speaker 11: Hopefully, you have a.
• 49:23
  Speaker 17: Degree that can supersede the payments in your loans. Hopefully,
• 49:26
  Speaker 17: you can drive a car that, you know, again, can
• 49:29
  Speaker 17: work for you and not have to buy a new one.
• 49:31
  Speaker 17: It's just, it's harder and harder and harder. If you
• 49:34
  Speaker 17: have five kids, and I've said this before, if you
• 49:36
  Speaker 17: have five kids now, you're either on the dole or
• 49:39
  Speaker 17: you're an ex-professional athlete. And, I mean, yeah, you could
• 49:43
  Speaker 17: do it. I'm not talking about the rare outliers there,
• 49:45
  Speaker 17: but generally in greater society, it's very hard to do
• 49:49
  Speaker 17: that nowadays because who's going to.
• 49:50
  Speaker 11: Take care of them?
• 49:51
  Speaker 17: Are you going to send them to daycare? Are you
• 49:53
  Speaker 17: going to pay the fees for the daycare worker? You
• 49:55
  Speaker 17: better send them to a good daycare, too, because, hey,
• 49:58
  Speaker 17: do you want to work at a daycare and take
• 50:00
  Speaker 17: care of 30 screaming diaper-filled babies and get paid... Like,
• 50:03
  Speaker 17: you know what, minimum wage?
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: No.
• 50:06
  Speaker 17: So are they going to take care of your kids?
• 50:07
  Speaker 17: So you've got to have your wife stay home so
• 50:09
  Speaker 17: that she can take care of them. And then, hey, look,
• 50:11
  Speaker 17: there goes half your income right there. The only reason
• 50:14
  Speaker 17: that in the 70s inflation got stifled was because we
• 50:17
  Speaker 17: raised interest rates so high, and everybody forgets that everybody
• 50:20
  Speaker 17: took that other player off the bench and sent them
• 50:23
  Speaker 17: to work. Before the 70s, how many wives went and
• 50:26
  Speaker 17: worked full-time jobs? Inflation got fixed because people's wives started
• 50:30
  Speaker 17: going to work, and then that helped. I mean, I
• 50:33
  Speaker 17: can't get another guy. I can't have somebody else move
• 50:35
  Speaker 17: into my house and split the bills with me. I
• 50:38
  Speaker 17: can't have two or three. I don't want three roommates.
• 50:40
  Speaker 17: And that's what's going on. It gets harder and harder
• 50:42
  Speaker 17: and harder. And then people get disenfranchised and disillusioned. They
• 50:46
  Speaker 17: vote for these crazy radical leftists.
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: And you know what?
• 50:49
  Speaker 17: At the end of the day, I'm not very happy,
• 50:51
  Speaker 17: like I said, with Donald Trump and what he's done
• 50:53
  Speaker 17: the first two years. I'm not happy with the tariffs
• 50:56
  Speaker 17: and the way that went. I'm not happy that he's
• 50:59
  Speaker 17: not putting the American worker first. I'm not happy that
• 51:03
  Speaker 17: we're overfighting foreign wars. I'm not happy that gas went up.
• 51:06
  Speaker 10: And you know what?
• 51:07
  Speaker 17: I could care less about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
• 51:12
  Speaker 17: I went to Washington, D.C. just a couple weeks ago,
• 51:14
  Speaker 17: and I went by and I looked at it.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 51:16
  Speaker 17: There's still algae there. You put in a blue pool cover,
• 51:21
  Speaker 17: and there's no filtration on it. How did you not
• 51:23
  Speaker 17: think the algae was going to grow through it? I mean,
• 51:26
  Speaker 17: the fact that this is our focus right now really
• 51:29
  Speaker 17: grinds my gears. Because, again, I was told that we
• 51:32
  Speaker 17: were going to actually start doing stuff in this country
• 51:34
  Speaker 17: and fix it. And the guy's gotten shot. He's gotten
• 51:38
  Speaker 17: shot once. He's gotten shot out multiple times. You can't
• 51:41
  Speaker 17: get within three blocks of the White House now because
• 51:44
  Speaker 17: of how much security is going on there. Do you
• 51:46
  Speaker 17: think the next person who says, you know what, I
• 51:47
  Speaker 17: want to try to fix this is going to run
• 51:49
  Speaker 17: for the presidency? Only a narcissist would run for president
• 51:52
  Speaker 17: at this point because you want the fame and glory.
• 51:55
  Speaker 17: All these political positions now, it's just a popularity contest.
• 52:00
  Speaker 17: So I don't know how this stuff gets fixed. But
• 52:03
  Speaker 17: like Dave Thomas said, even in the state of Ohio, unfortunately,
• 52:06
  Speaker 17: sometimes you need an enormous crisis to actually have things
• 52:10
  Speaker 17: get so bad that they could be fixed. And until
• 52:13
  Speaker 17: things get absolutely so bad, I don't know how they're
• 52:16
  Speaker 17: going to get fixed. And the thing is, again, I'll
• 52:18
  Speaker 17: say it, we're $ 40 trillion in debt. Is that stuff
• 52:22
  Speaker 17: going to hit the fan next year? I don't know.
• 52:24
  Speaker 17: Is it going to hit it in 10 years? I
• 52:25
  Speaker 17: have no clue. But we're going to keep devaluing and depreciating.
• 52:30
  Speaker 17: When we trade our time for money, we're going to
• 52:33
  Speaker 17: be making nominally less and less money. You might see
• 52:36
  Speaker 17: more dollar bills in your account, but they're going to
• 52:38
  Speaker 17: buy you less and less and get you less and less.
• 52:41
  Speaker 17: So when you save now as a younger person, is
• 52:44
  Speaker 17: it even going to be worth the same when you're older?
• 52:46
  Speaker 17: And the baby boomers, I'll tell you, you guys have
• 52:48
  Speaker 17: been dealing with the same thing, too. When you traded
• 52:50
  Speaker 17: your time for labor in the 70s and 80s, it's
• 52:53
  Speaker 17: not worth nearly what it is now. You've been screwed, too.
• 52:56
  Speaker 17: It's just not as much as the younger generation has. And, unfortunately,
• 52:59
  Speaker 17: now the can's getting kicked down, and we're the ones
• 53:02
  Speaker 17: paying the bill for it now. And we're the ones
• 53:04
  Speaker 17: that are going to suffer the consequences.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Well said. Thank you, Alec. Appreciate it. NewsRadio 570. Very
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: well said. You're on the air.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Ron, kudos to Alex. I agree with him 100%. I
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: had to work yesterday.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's just trying to explain when people said, well,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: we don't understand as democratic socialists how they're getting all
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: these young people votes. Well, I think he's trying to
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: say this is when young people look around what they're seeing.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I wanted to call today because I worked yesterday,
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: so I listened to your podcast today.
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: And Ted, at the end of his conversation with you yesterday, said,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: referenced me and said he wanted to talk about it.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: He wanted me to talk about Amy Acton and what
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: she's going to do for H-1B visas. And let me
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: make it very clear. I'm voting for Vivek Ramaswamy. I'd
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: vote for him a thousand times if I could. When
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: I talk about the H-1Bs, I'm talking about my kids
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: who are 24 and 26. They're both engineers. Good jobs
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: make good money. But just like Alex... They're very, very
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: disenchanted with Trump and the Republican Party right now for
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: basically the same reasons that he just enumerated. And with Alex,
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: at least, I know what he does for a living,
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: and he doesn't really have to worry about too many
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: H-1B visas coming for him, but a lot of these
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: people do. And that's why, you know, they don't like
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Amy Acton. They don't like her policies. But they're not
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: voting for Vivek because they don't like the fact that
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Vivek wants to import more Indians and put those Indians
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: in direct competition for American jobs.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: So they're looking and saying, listen, they went out and
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: got an education, and they're engineers, and their biggest worry
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: or threat is that Vivek wants to bring in people
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: from India that do their job less well. expensive than
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: they are, and they'll be out of work, and they
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: can't vote for him because it's about voting for survival,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: and they think odds are better with her as opposed
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: to him.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: My daughter sends me articles every day about all these
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: tech companies, Google, all of them, you know, Google, Tesla,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: all of them, about how they're complaining they need H-1Bs.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: They tell me how they need the H-1B visas. Then
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: there will be an article that they laid off 300
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: of their own people, yet last year they hired... maybe
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: three or four hundred five hundred thousands of h one
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: dv or our workers you know to their way off
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: americans at the same time they can't hire for a
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: fast enough and so they're they're just kicked off a
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: lot of their in the you know in the in
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: the fact that it's not being addressed though you know
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: the there's a lot of times people are one issue
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: voters and that's that's the issue you know they're looking
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: out for the world where were their own economic best
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: interest If you get a chance, I sent you a
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: video today. My daughter sent it to me. It was
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: about 11 years ago about the future of horses and
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: the future of humans.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I watched part of it.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: It's dead spot on, didn't you think?
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Yes. I've got to finish it, but I watched a
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: good chunk of it, and I think it's covering a
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: lot of what happened with history. My question, Alex, was
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of younger people feel capitalism has
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: betrayed them. And they're looking around, and that's why there's
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: this anger with baby boomers. Stand by for one second.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Let me come back to you in a minute and
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: pick it up there. Call us in a line. Stand by.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Ron Ferb, Kingdom of Mahoning, after this.
• 56:32
  Speaker 20: News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: So the thing with Alex and that I would say
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: to you is so many of these young people think
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: that capitalism has failed them and the baby boomers have
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: failed them. You always hear people talk about the gap
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: is getting too wide between the haves and the have-nots.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: And maybe there's some truth to that based on what
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: you're seeing.
• 56:51
  Speaker 11: They're not wrong.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at wages over the last
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: 30 or 40 years, The upper 5% have made out
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: like bandits, while the average middle-class person is not keeping
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: up with inflation. You've got raises, but if you look
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: at what your raise is versus what inflation is, you're
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: not keeping up.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Is it fair for me to say that's really almost
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: reminds me of why unions were started many, many years ago?
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's why labor unions came about.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Yep. It's why I'm actually, I'm as conservative as I am.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: I'm a pro-union guy because somebody's got to stick up
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: for the guy that's showing up for work every day
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: because the companies are only going to do what they
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: can do to maximize their profitability. And if they don't
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: have to pay more than what they're paying, they're not
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: going to. I've seen it. I went from a huge
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: shortage of pharmacists where we were getting gigantic raises for
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: the first 15 years of my career to the last
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty we've been sub inflationary now we still
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: make really good money so i shouldn't complain but every
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: year i take a pay cut to the raise that
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: i get is left the what inflationary isn't that way
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: for twelve thirteen years there's a lot of people out
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: there like that if you're getting a one or two
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: percent raise a year i don't know what i think
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: walgreens would like five or six years into their pharmacist anyways.
• 58:18
  Speaker 21: Uh..
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: You know and that's that's just one industry but that's
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: across the country I was listening to your podcast yesterday.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: You guys talking from Schwebel's, and they were talking about
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: having good union jobs that were paying like $ 19 or
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: $ 20 an hour. That's not a lot of money. I mean,
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. My father was a welder for commercial
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: shearing back in the 80s before he passed away. And
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he was making, but I can
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: guarantee you adjusted for inflation was a heck of a
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: lot more than that. And those jobs are gone. You
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: look around. Go walk through Walmart. Walk through a grocery store.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Walk through any retailer and start adding up the cost
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: of staples. Look at gasoline. Look at just your utilities.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: Just to live in your house, you know, go on
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: the property tax day. Just to live in your house,
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: even if you own it.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: We paid ourselves last year.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: I think I'm still like $ 1, 300 or $ 1, 400 a month
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: just to live in my house.
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: So when you look at the monthly property taxes, the
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: electric bill, the natural gas bill, the groceries, just your
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: living expenses, just to live there if you don't have
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: house payments. Just add all that up and how much
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: it costs a month just to have the roof over
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: your head.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Yep. And then start thinking about these people that are
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: making $ 20 an hour, if they're lucky, trying to live
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: and exist and raise a family and kids in that environment.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: And that's where Alex is at. I mean, like you said,
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: he's making very, very good money. But then you start
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: looking at it. Number one, if you're making a decent buck,
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: nobody has a pension anymore. So those are gone. So
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: if you're going to retire... You should be basically putting 15%
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: to 20% of your gross in your 401k every single day,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: every single week.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: If you can afford to do so.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, if not, when you retire, you're
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: not going to be able to afford to retire.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but in many cases, people are saying they've got
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: to live, too. It depends what you make.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Well, it does. And, I mean, then you start looking at,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: you know, what kills you with the young people that
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: come in. We've got a lot of young technicians here.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: The first thing they do before they come to work,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: they stop at either Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. Every day
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: they're buying a coffee and tater tots or whatever. It's
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: like a $ 10, $ 12 little mini meal before you even
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: get to work. But if you bring that up to them,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: they're like, oh, they call you a boomer because you
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: don't understand their generation. But kudos to Alex. I mean,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: when he was going off about that, if you were
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: to talk to any of my children, they would tell
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: you the exact same thing. And it's not that they're
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: hurting economically. All three of them have really good jobs.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: It's just they see it for their generation, and they're
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: very pessimistic about the future of the country that their
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: generation is facing, especially at $ 40 trillion in debt.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: Amen. Well said. Thank you, Rich. Appreciate it.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Take care, Ron.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, you always got to understand why things are
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: happening the way they're happening. 428's in the afternoon, NewsRadio 570,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: Dodie Coon, you're on the air.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, hi.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 22: I think that Blaming the debt and blaming government and
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 22: blaming all of that and asking the government to do
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 22: everything for you. I think that's kind of the newer,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 22: young person, almost lazy aspect of it.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Stand by.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Stand by. I'm going to come right back to you
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: after the break. Stay tuned. Ah, yes. News Radio 570.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Dodie Kivian and Ron Ferb. 433 in the afternoon. All right,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 22: Yeah, I guess I get a little triggered when we
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 22: talk about the boomers, of which I am a young boomer,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 22: I guess. But, you know, the starter home. No, you
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 22: buy a fixer-upper. You don't pay somebody to do it.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 22: You do it yourself. And nobody should complain if they've
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 22: never worked a full-time job and then took a second job,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 22: not two jobs, a second job at night to save
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 22: money for a house. Don't complain. If you've got multiple
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 22: tattoos that you're spending hundreds of thousands, maybe thousands of
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 22: dollars on, I don't want to hear it. Okay? They
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 22: spend their money on different things. It's like you said,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 22: a $ 10 coffee every morning because they think they deserve it.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 22: If you've ever gone on a destination bachelor party to
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 22: Las Vegas for someone, I don't want to hear it
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 22: because we didn't do those things. We put all our
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 22: money and all our effort into working hard and fixing
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 22: up the house and worrying about the neighborhood. I bought
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 22: the eyesore of the neighborhood. We did all the work ourselves.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 22: The neighbors were offering to help us. Do you need
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 22: a ladder? Do you need this? They were so happy
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 22: to see it. The problem is we've left all the
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 22: eyesores of the neighborhood. It's just now they... People just
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 22: let them go, even if you got bit, that they
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 22: just bulldoze them. I mean, and so there's all of
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 22: those homes. Don't we wish we had some of those
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 22: older homes that we could give to young people so
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 22: they could, you know, turn around neighborhoods and turn around this?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 22: I see a lot of it, but they don't want that.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 22: They want what you have. And they don't want to
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 22: wait and have it be their third or fourth home.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 22: They want it kind of now. as well as, you know,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 22: if you've ever, you ever went abroad. I was never
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 22: on an airplane until I was left for my honeymoon, okay?
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 22: They live a different life.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: And, you.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 22: Know, I just, so I don't like to hear, so
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 22: I just don't like to hear the complaint that.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: So basically, you're saying it wasn't that easy for baby
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: boomers as they think it was. It wasn't that easy.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: And you had a lot less and there were a
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: lot more sacrifices versus younger people today. I got it.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 22: Absolutely. And my mother always said to me, she goes,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 22: if you wait until you can afford to have children,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 22: you'll never have them.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 22: Nobody ever thinks they can afford to have them.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: Well, that's true. And that's why, hey, as I say,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: that's why you shouldn't wait. The best thing in life.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: The best thing in life is when you have children.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the most rewarding part.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 11: Oh, no.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 22: The best thing in life is when you have grandchildren.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for your call.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 22: That's even better.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 11: I appreciate it.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 22: But you'll have that then.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 23: Thanks.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 12: Previous caller stole my thunder. The idea that capitalism is
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 12: what's doing everybody wrong in today's generation is kind of ridiculous.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 12: My dad always told me, he goes, you know, if
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 12: you're willing to work, you're always going to have a job.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 12: And he was right, because there was a time when,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 12: you know, I couldn't find the time in my day
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 12: to get up and go to work, and I.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 16: Didn't have a job. But kids today, they look at
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 16: what we have, and, well, I want a house like that. Well,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 16: and you're 55, and you got a good credit rating,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 16: and You know, you can apply for a loan and
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 16: make a down payment and get yourself a house like that.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 16: But you're not going to do it right now unless
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 16: you have some sort of a windfall. You're going to
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 16: have to find out the hard way, just like everybody else, well,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 16: my family did. We didn't have anything given to us
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 16: except a work ethic, an example of how two parents
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 16: who lived their lives, mom would wait tables for Christmas
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 16: money to make her car payment and dad worked in
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 16: a steel mill for 39 and a half years, but
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 16: you know, it's, uh, you don't hear kids talking about,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 16: I want to go work hard. Oh, I just want
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 16: to have that. But, uh, I guess that's all I
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 16: got to say, Ron.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 10: Thanks.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you for saying it. News radio, five 70 WKVN.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 11: Hello.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 9: Hey, I'm, I'm with these baby boomers. I'm, uh, I
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 9: used to own my own business. I think I've talked
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 9: to you quite a few times. And the problem is, too,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 9: with the American people, when things started coming from China,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 9: instead of setting them back on the shelves and giving
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 9: their neighbors jobs, I mean, at one time, GE and
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 9: Erie employed over around 30,000 people, they were assembling irons, toasters, refrigerators, stoves,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 9: and the like. Well, along comes free trade with China,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 9: and what happens? All those jobs went overseas. What happened
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 9: to those people? When I had my own company, and
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 9: I had employees paying them between $ 75, 000 and $ 85, 000 a year.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 9: And they had good jobs. And what happens to the company?
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 9: Everything went to China. Toolmaking all went to China. Now
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 9: there's hardly any toolmaking. And the kids, even when I
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 9: had my company, you get someone from college, they come
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 9: in and demand the big dollars. And I said, listen,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 9: this is what I'm going to pay you, take it
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 9: or leave it, because you're probably going to screw things
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 9: up and cost me money.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 13: I'd hire them.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 9: They didn't do one good thing in three or four months,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 9: and they're gone. And kids now think that everything should
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 9: come to them. And part of the problem is the
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 9: COVID times, people are sitting home getting paid to play
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 9: video games. And I'm 80 years old, or going to
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 9: be 80. I'm going to be getting a heart valve,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 9: and I'm not supposed to be doing anything. Well, guess
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 9: what I'm doing? I'm working because I have to. I
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 9: don't have a choice. I was a millionaire at one time.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 9: And now I'm on Social Security and having to work
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 9: out with the Amish. doing landscaping and stuff to make
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 9: ends meet. So how do you think I feel? I'm
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 9: a baby boomer. I worked my full head off all
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 9: my life, was born and raised on a farm, went
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 9: in the tool and dye trade, and made good. But
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 9: that was destroyed by our government, and I... I do
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 9: believe I blame the American people for buying China crap
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 9: and putting their neighbors out of work.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 9: And it doesn't matter about unions. The tool and die
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 9: trade never had unions. And what did the unions do
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 9: when they started shipping everything over to China? They went
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 9: right along with it.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: I've got to move along. I'm running out of time.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You're on the air.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: Ron? Yes? Hi. Hi.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 24: Calling in, I thought Rich was great, and I agreed
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 24: with his points, and I think that that's the crux
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 24: of the problem, even when it comes to levies. These
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 24: people are not going to vote themselves out of a benefit.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 24: And then you couple that with the fact that we
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 24: have $ 45 billion general fund in the state of Ohio,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 24: and all of these grants that are ridiculous, and the
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 24: duplicity is outrageous. I don't know if you've seen some
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 24: of them, you know, that we send, you know, our
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 24: state reps go to, you know, they take our tax dollars,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 24: our income tax, sales tax, you know. Our income tax
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 24: is going to Ohio. Then our reps get in our
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 24: cars and they drive up there just to, you know,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 24: scream to bring it back to the county that it
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 24: was taken from. And, you know, we're getting to the
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 24: point where I've said it for months now. It's socialism. Trails, fairgrounds,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 24: innovation hubs, sporting complexes, all these countless programs after programs
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 24: after programs. Meanwhile, you've got homeowners and retirees that are
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 24: working hard to keep their heads afloat with all the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 24: rising costs. $ 45 billion in the general fund, and they
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 24: continue to say that they can't fund schools. And that's
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 24: not even with touching all of the fraud... So we've
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 24: got a major problem. And I think Rich's point is
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 24: extremely valid. And I think that you do have that
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 24: issue with some of these younger kids that are struggling
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 24: to find a job on top of it all. But
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 24: then you've got the other people. You've got the top 5%.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 15: Are doing very well.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 24: And they don't care. They'll still vote for the park
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 24: because they want the park. Then you've got the people
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 24: that are struggling. They're not going to vote against anything
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 24: that gives them a benefit. It's we are walking towards
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 24: socialism every single day. People really, really, really need to
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 24: wake up. And this right now, we have an opportunity
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 24: to at least take them out of our homes. And
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 24: that's why I'm so passionate about abolishing property taxes, because
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 24: this is the one opportunity that we had before us. Well,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 24: at least kick them the heck out of our homes
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 24: and give us money back.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: Did you see I mentioned you were Trumbull County's talking
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: about getting voting sometime this week on those two issues?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I did see that.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 24: I hope they do the right thing.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: Until it happens. I read the article. I want to
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: see it happen and get in the right spot. I've
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: got to cut it short because the game's going to
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: be coming on shortly.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you, dear. All right, you're on the air.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 15: Hey, Ron, thanks for taking my call. Sounds like a
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 15: lot of your callers are blaming young kids today.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm a parent.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 15: My wife and I are proud parents of a couple
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 15: of the young kids today.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 15: A 15-year-old and a 20-year-old. And let me tell you what.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 15: I don't blame the kids. I blame the parents.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: That's who has to be accountable.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 15: My 20-year-old learned a strong work ethic from me and
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 15: my wife. He has two jobs, and he's going to YSU.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 15: So I think a lot of it may not necessarily
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 15: be the child, but it might be the deadbeat parents. Um,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 15: and the other thing I want to say for the
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 15: guy that called earlier, he was a millionaire and now
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 15: he's working in these eighties. I'm nowhere near a millionaire,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 15: but I can tell you if I was, I wouldn't be, uh,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 15: frivolously spending my money. Uh, so I don't have it
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 15: when I'm 80. So instead of blaming other people, I
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 15: think we all need to be accountable and look at
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 15: our own lives and what we're doing. Stop pushing the
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 15: blame and be more accountable for yourself.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your thoughts. I got to pause. I
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. All right. Well stated. Ron verb news, radio
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: five 70 WQN. The, uh, Game was delayed. It was
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: supposed to start at 2 o'clock with rain. I'm told
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: the rain has passed. The Guardians are standing by. Ron
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning, NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Let's
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: go back to Guardians.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 11: Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Cleveland Guardians baseball today from
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 11: Greatfield on the south side in Chicago. It's the Cleveland
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 11: Guardians and Chicago White Sox in the finale of this
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 11: three-game series and the final game of a nine-game road
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 11: swing for the Guardians. Jim Rosenhouse along with you, and
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 11: we are finally going to have baseball this afternoon after
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 11: a lengthy delay as we were supposed to start at
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 11: 2-10 Cleveland time, but we will be starting way later
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 11: than that, and we will have baseball, though. That's the
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 11: good thing, is these teams will be able to play.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 11: Looks like we have the proverbial window to get this
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 11: game in. Tom Hamilton is off for a good portion
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 11: of this road swing. He'll be back on Friday when
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 11: the team returns home to take on the Seattle Mariners,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 11: and joining us here in Chicago this week has been...
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 11: Two-time All-Star, Jason Kipnis, former Cleveland Indian, who provided a
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 11: lot of highlights for fans back home. And, Kip, we've
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 11: seen two close games, and the Guardians trying to salvage
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 11: a finale here today. And, once again, they'll need the
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 11: good pitching this time from Tanner Bybee. Well, they've been
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 11: getting good pitching from their stars for a while.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: I think it's important for this offense to kind of
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: put their foot down and score some runs for their
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: starting pitching and come out with a win. You can't
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: let a team sweep you ever, so this is a
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: big one for us.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 11: And they're trying to adjust to life without three of
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 11: their top hitters, including Jose Ramirez. You've seen a couple
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 11: of games here. And what's been jumping out to you
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 11: for a younger lineup? They're going to have to create
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 11: some runs. They're going to have to get a little
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 11: bit more experience with runners in scoring position. I think
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 11: you're going to have to be a little bit more selective.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 11: But they're more than capable. This is still a major
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 11: league lineup. There's still guys who are having good at-bats,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 11: putting on good swings on some balls. But you just
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 11: want to see them kind of take advantage when they
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 11: get the runners on base. That's something that they haven't
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 11: done yet this series too much. And, of course, a
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 11: key today, adjusting to a different start time when you
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 11: have a rain delay. What did you like to do
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 11: to make sure you were ready to play whenever you
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 11: could play?
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: I'd like to take naps. The opposite of getting ready. No,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: you get off your feet, you wait. Everyone's always checking
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: the radar. There's always constant communication. So we're never in
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: the dark on any of that, so to speak. I
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: think if you have the energy, you kind of might
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: go get a hit in the cage or something, get
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: a little extra session in, some flips or tee work.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: Other than that, you kind of just preserve your legs,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: stay off of them a little bit, and just wait.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: You're on standby, too.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 11: Well, today it's going to be more than two and
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 11: a half hours, the rain delay, so we'll see if
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 11: both teams handle that well. And we're playing at Raitt Field,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 11: a ballpark that opened back in 1991 after they... Made
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 11: the move from the old Comiskey Park here to the
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 11: new one, and they've had renovations since. Field dimensions, 330
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 11: down the left field line, 377 to left center, 400
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 11: to dead center, 372 to right center, and 335 down
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 11: the right field line with an eight-foot-high home run wall
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 11: all the way around. And normally, this time of year,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 11: the summertime heats up and the ball carries very well.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 11: With rain today, somewhat chilly weather, and a breeze that,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 11: at least right now, looks to be blowing in in
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 11: certain spots. Might be a little tougher to hit one
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 11: out here.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: A little bit. It was nice before you guys got
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: into town. What happened? You brought a little bit of
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: this weather with you. It's been chilly a little bit,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: but no, it's... Again, we've said the first two games,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: this is a hitter's ballpark, but... win or not or
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 4: something like that. I think there could be some action today.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 4: I want to see some action. Speaking into existence.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 11: The White Sox playing great baseball here at home. They
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 11: come in a first place ball club. The Guardians one
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 11: game back heading into play today. in the American League's
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 11: Central Division. Umpires, home plate, Tripp Gibson. Marv Hudson, the
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 11: crew chief, is at first base. Nick Marley at second base.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 11: Ryan Blakeney is the third base umpire. The Sox have
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 11: taken the field in their traditional home whites with the
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 11: black pinstripes, black trim. Guardians wearing their alternate road blue
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 11: jerseys today with the gray pants and the red and
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 11: white trim. And again, for the Guardians, this is the
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 11: end of a nine-game road swing. It has not been easy.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 11: They dropped two out of three in Milwaukee, two out
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 11: of three in Houston, and they've dropped the first two here.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 11: They will be a team that's happy to get back
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 11: home for sure.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: I think so. It's always an off day and some
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: home cooking does everybody a little bit better when you
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 4: get in your own bed and get back to your
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 4: routine that you definitely have. It's a different way when
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: you're on the road and you're coming from a hotel
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: room straight from the bus to the field. It's nice
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: to drive your own car and get all that stuff going.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: So let's get one before we go there.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 11: Yeah, the challenge today, an opener day for the White Sox.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 11: They're going to start Chris Murphy, a left-hander who normally
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 11: works out of the bullpen. Eric Fetty will get the
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 11: bulk of the innings, but they don't want to start
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 11: him yet. They'll see how far Murphy can go facing
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 11: the top of the Guardians lineup. That's one less time
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 11: Fetty has to do that. And for Murphy, this is
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 11: appearance number 14. He's 2-0 with an ERA of 5. 5.27.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 11: And again, a lefty with Fetty being a righty, which
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 11: is what they normally do when an opener is called upon.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 11: Travis Pisano will lead things off for the Guardians. What
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 11: a road trip it has been for Pisano. who's off
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 11: to a tremendous start in this, his rookie campaign. He
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 11: digs in from the left side. Today's first pitch is
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 11: a strike on the inside corner, and we are underway
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 11: in Chicago.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: 65 degrees.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 10: Cloudy.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch to Pisano. Strike two called. Two hour,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 11: 40 minutes, the rain delay today here in Chicago. But
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 11: these teams are going to get this one in, it appears.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 11: Bazzano with an 0-2 count. Murphy delivers. Breaking ball, called
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 11: strike three on the inside corner. Bazzano strikes out on
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 11: three pitches, caught looking.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: Well, it takes a little longer for some guys to
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: get ready than some other ones, but I thought that
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 4: was a good sequence by their pitcher right there. Kind
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: of mixed and mashed all the way through the first at-bat,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: fastball away, slider away, and then kind of frozen with
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: the slider in, so really didn't give them a set
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: or any pitch to kind of get going. Good morning,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 4: good afternoon, good night.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 11: We're on our way. And Rokio steps in, takes a
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 11: breaking ball high and away. Rokio hitting. 271 with five
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 11: home runs, 33 driven in. Very consistent over the season's
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 11: first three months. Here's the 1-0, swing and a miss,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 11: and it's 1-1. And we can tell you early on,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 11: the first four innings, it's the Conrad's score four, win
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 11: four new tires contest. It's our contestant after this pitch.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 11: Murphy lets it fly. Fastball swung on, popped foul, and
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 11: out of play down the right side. Tim Miller of
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 11: Akron will win a set of four Bridgetone tires, courtesy
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 11: of our friends at Conrad's Tire Express and Total Car Care.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 11: If the Guardians score four or more runs in any
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 11: of these first four innings, visit econrads.com to enter. No
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 11: score just under way. And here comes the 1-2. Swung on,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 11: yanked foul outside of third.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: Your body just does feel different after a rain delay.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 4: I think because it throws off your routine no matter what.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 4: I think if you have your set routine where you
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: come into the field, you go from eating to stretching
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: to hot tubs to tea or to the cages and
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: then onto the field.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 1-2. Swung on, popped him up, fouled again.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 11: Out of play, first base.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: Come back in. maybe get a little snack in your shower,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 4: get ready and start really warming up for the game.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: And so you have your routine where you're kind of
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: programmed out from the moment you get there and you
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 4: really don't stop moving too much. But when you add
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: a rain delay, you're kind of then on the ground,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 4: maybe you're watching a show or something for an hour,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 4: you're just kind of sitting there.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 11: The one-two pulled foul over to the White Sox.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 4: And it just changes everything. My legs might feel a
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 4: little bit heavier or it just throws it off or
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 4: you might be You don't know what to do to
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 4: kill some more time, so you're maybe doing too much
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: and might have used too much of your energy. So
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 4: it does change your body, and it's not an excuse
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 4: by any means, but it is different. For creatures of routine,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 4: it does throw you off a little bit.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 11: Here comes the one-two to Brian Rocchio. Swung on, popped
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 11: it up, foul on us. Excellent plate appearance for Rocchio continues.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 11: And today, it looked like we were going to start
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 11: on time. They really didn't make a decision to say, hey,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 11: let's hold it up. until about a half hour prior
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 11: to the first pitch. Here's the 1-2, down low and
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 11: outside for a ball.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 4: Well, they saw the radar. I think I kind of
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 4: agree with their decision. I think it was beautiful for
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 4: the first 30 minutes, and we're like, what's going on?
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 4: But I think once you start, you'd rather kind of
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 4: finish the game. You'd rather get through all of it.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: I don't think they knew they would have had to
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 4: stop eventually if we had started on time.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 2-2 to Rocchio. Outside and high for
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 11: ball three. So the count is full on Brian Rocchio.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 11: And the next pitch will be number 10 in this at-bat.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 11: Of course, Murphy's not going to go very far anyway.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 11: The 3-2 pitch. Swing and a missed strike three. Got
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 11: him with the heap.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 4: Good at-bat by Rocchio, making him earn it, working back
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: into a good count for himself. But I think he's
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 4: going to be mad at himself. He kind of missed
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: some good pitches over the plate there at that at-bat.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 4: The ones that he sees, swinging at all the right ones,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: I think. He's like, man, I should have done something
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 4: with one of those pitches.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 11: Now here's David Fry with two down and the base
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 11: is empty. Murphy with that good fastball, mid to upper 90s.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 11: And he fires away low and in on Fry for
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 11: ball one. Here's the defense for the Sox. Antonucci in left.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 11: Peters in center. Montgomery, Braden Montgomery in right. Jacob Gonzalez
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 11: at first. Chase Mydrop at second. Colson Montgomery at short.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 11: Miguel Vargas at third. Pitch to Fry. Outside and low.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 11: Caught by Kyle Teal in just his second game of
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 11: the year. And on the mound to start. Chris Murphy.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 11: But we see Eric Fetty already warming up. And the
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 11: White Sox pen. He'll pitch the bulk of the innings
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 11: if he's effective. The 2-0. Up and in for ball
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 11: three to Fry. David Fry hitting 217. Coming in. Four homers.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 11: Nine runs driven in. 3-0 the count on him. Murphy
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 11: delivers and his fastball is a strike on the inside corner.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 11: He's pretty firm at 98 miles an hour.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 4: It is, but now I'm also wondering why use the
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 4: lefty opener for just Bazzana? Because Rocchio's a switch hitter,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 4: isn't he? And Fry's a righty.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss. Strike two.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: So it's a good balance of the lineup to start.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: You're not gaining an advantage. You're not facing three lefties
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: out the gate or something like that because of a
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: righty pitching the longer.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: Of the game.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 11: Now the 3-2 pitch. Swung on and there's a high
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 11: fly ball to right. Settling under at Montgomery, the right fielder.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 11: And he makes the catch. Three-tire fry in the Guardians
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 11: who go in order in the top half of the
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 11: first inning. After a half inning of play, Cleveland nothing.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 11: The White Sox coming up.
• 1:25:19

  Speaker 11: just hasn't had much run support. That's been coming along
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 11: a little bit lately. Here comes his pitch to Antonacci,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 11: and it's swung on and missed. Antonacci hitting. 287, four
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 11: home runs, 22 driven in. His on-base percentage,. 386. And
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 11: the game-winning base hit Monday night, a walk-off two-run single.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 11: Here's the. 02. Upstairs for a ball one into the
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 11: count on Antonacci Defensively for the Guardians David Frye and
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 11: left Stephen Kwan in center Khalil Watson around it right
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 11: into the infielders after this one-two pitch from Tanner by
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 11: me High leg kick it's on its way and it's
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 11: swung on and drilled foul off to the left side
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 11: now to play Kyle Manzardo at first Travis Bazzana at second.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 11: Brian Rocchio at short. Daniel Schneeman around at third. Patrick
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 11: Bailey catching. Tanner Bybee. Now Bybee winds it up. The one-two.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 11: Swung on. Popped him up. Left side of the infield,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 11: Rocio calls for it, and the shortstop makes the catch
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 11: for the first out in the inning. The numbers on
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 11: Tanner Bybee, 2-8 coming in after 16 starts, but his.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 27: ERA, 4.03.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 11: He goes close to six innings a start. Eight strikeouts,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 11: three walks per nine innings, and again has thrown the
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 11: ball very well in the month of June. And he
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 11: goes to work now on Miguel Vargas. Right-handed hitting third baseman.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 11: The pitch to him. Up high for a ball.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 4: No, he's fun to watch pitch. A lot of his
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 4: stuff moves. He doesn't really throw anything that kind of
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 4: goes straight. So he likes to make that ball dance
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 4: a little bit. A lot of spin. Cutter, slider, curveball,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 4: all different kinds of bend on it.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 11: The 1-0. Breaking ball down low with the cutter that time.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 11: And it's 2-0. He's been saying that the real key
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 11: that The four-seam fastball and the sinking fastball, that combination
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 11: up high, down low, he's been able to throw for
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 11: strikes and really keep the hitters off balance. The 2-0
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 11: swung on. There's a chopper foul at home plate.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 4: Well, the good thing with the sinking fastball, when he
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 4: has that two-seam movement on it, a four-seam almost comes
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 4: across like a cutter to the hitters. Because everything, speaking
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 4: from a lefty, everything's kind of diving into, diving into.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 4: So one that goes straight almost looks like it's going
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 4: away from you that time. So it really has almost
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 4: like a hidden movement to it, or maybe just a
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 4: psychological movement to it even.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 11: Now the 2-1 delivery. Outside and high for ball three.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 11: Bybee's coming off a tough loss his last time out.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 11: He pitched really well in Houston on Friday night. but
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 11: left with a lead, and then the runners that were
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 11: inherited came in, and he took the loss, the 3-1.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 11: In tight, ball four. Vargas walks with one out here
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 11: in the bottom half of the first inning.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 4: Close two-seamer right there, in on the hands. Kind of
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 4: could have gone both ways, and we've been talking about
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 4: it with all these challenges, is how catchers want to
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 4: use them early in games if a situation is important
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 4: enough to use one of the challenges on, because you
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 4: just can't be Can't be just wasting them early in
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: the games. They've got to have one in the pocket
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 4: for later in the game, and they've got to mean something, too.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 11: And it's still a work in progress for a lot
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 11: of teams on how they want to go about it.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 11: Andrew Benintendi steps in. The pitch to him. Swing and
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 11: a miss. Strike one. He's the DH today. Benintendi, the
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 11: veteran outfielder, hitting.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: 236.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 11: Nine home runs, 38 driven in. Vargas, pretty good speed
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 11: at first. Vibing with a good pick-off move. Here's the pitch.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 11: Fastball strike on the outside corner. 0-2 the count on Benintendi.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 11: Did not play in last night's game. Guardians starting a
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 11: lefty in Parker Messick last night, so Will Venable adjusting
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 11: his lineup accordingly. You got Rocchio right up the middle,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 11: so I'm guessing he's going to be taking the throw
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 11: from both the third baseman and the right side of
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 11: the infield here, because they're shifted over with the lefty hitter.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 11: Quick throw to first, diving back in is Farkas.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 4: I was kind of watching Bozana, especially with the guy
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 4: who spins the ball the way that Bybee does. You're
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 4: going to get a guy out in front, you're going
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 4: to get a lot more ground balls to the right
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 4: side and even the forehold, so they're going to move
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 4: the second baseman a little bit that way, and he
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 4: can't get there on time on that ground ball to
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 4: the left side, so you make the shortstop take it.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 02 swung on yet foul over to
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 11: the Guardians dugout on that first base side send up scattering.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 4: Had you bragging because he didn't move.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 11: That's toughness personified. There you go, Boston edges. Day off,
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 11: at least at the start. We've seen he's great. If
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 11: you're on the bench, you're getting in at some point
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 11: with the Guardians. Here comes the 02 pitch. And that's
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 11: upstairs for a ball, one and two. No score, bottom
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 11: half of the first inning. Late start, two hours and
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 11: 40 minutes, the rain delay, so if you're just tuning in,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 11: that's why we're early in this one. Here's the one-two
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 11: from Tanner Bybee. Swung on.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: Line.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 28: Caught by Bazzano. Throws back to first. Double play. And
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 28: that's why you position them. That's why you move guys around.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 28: That's where scouting reports come in handy. Position them great
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 28: for a line drive off one of the spinners right
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 28: there and able to get Vargas off the.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 4: Bag for the double play. That was fun. That's positioning.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 4: That's scouting reports right there. That's why you have the
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: shortstop take those throws from the third base and get
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 4: to move a second base over.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 11: And that ends the inning.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: There we go.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 11: Guardians back in the dugout. Side retired. We head to
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 11: the second. No score.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Verb, and I'll be bringing the heat
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: every afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 11: Kyle Manzardo leads off the second inning, swings and misses
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 11: at an off-speed pitch from the opener still out there.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 11: Left-hander Chris Murphy with Eric Fetty warming behind him in
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 11: the pen. We'll see how the Sox play it with
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 11: a right-handed hitter, Reese Hoskins, waiting on deck. Here's the 0-1.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 11: That's swung on and missed for strike two. But then
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 11: you have a left-handed batter in Khalil Watson after that,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 11: so maybe they try and get two innings out of Murphy.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 4: Just make him a starter then if he's going to
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 4: keep going. This bugs you, doesn't it? It does a
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 4: little bit. You're starting to pick up on that. He's
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 4: five innings into the game and he's opening up for Fetty.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 11: If this doesn't go extra innings, Fetty's not going to pitch.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 11: Here's the 0-2. Down low, 1-2. For whatever reason, when
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 11: Fetty has started this year, he has struggled in the
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 11: early innings, so they may have found the sweet spot
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 11: with him coming on after an opener. Not so much strategy-wise,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 11: but effectiveness-wise for him as the 1-2 is lifted high
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 11: in the air. Center field. Peters is under it, and
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 11: he makes the catch. Some sunshine breaking through the clouds.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 4: Here he comes.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 11: Peter's battling a little bit with that. And here comes
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 11: Will Venable. So that is it for the opener, Chris Murphy.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 11: Short leash on the starter. Eric Fetty will come on
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 11: to pitch. We have a pitching change. And our pitching changes,

• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: every afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 11: Right-hander Eric Fetty has come on to pitch for the
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 11: White Sox with one out, and the base is empty
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 11: facing Reese Hoskins here in the second inning. And Hoskins
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 11: looks at a pitch up high for ball one. So
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 11: the opener, Chris Murphy retired all four batters he faced.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 11: Now Fetty takes over and He's a starter, so he'll
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 11: go as long as he can. Next pitch, outside for
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 11: a ball.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 4: He's a coward. Can't pitch the first inning. Good job
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 4: for the Guardians, knocking out the starter and getting to
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 4: the bullpen. Let's see if he scores some runs.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 11: Here's the 2-0. And that's up high, 3-0.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 4: Betty, 2-6 on the year.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 11: With an earned run average of 4.46. And this is
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 11: game number 16. Seven times they've used an opener ahead
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 11: of him. Coming into play today, and his next pitch
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 11: is low and in for a ball. And I will say,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 11: in a lot of cases when they do this with
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 11: an opener, they'll let the normal starter begin with a
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 11: clean inning and not come in mid-inning.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. It kind of contradicts itself to
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 4: keep him, bring that guy back out to face Manzardo
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 4: just because he's a lefty the next inning. That's why
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 4: he's no longer just an opener.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 11: Khalil Watson steps in, takes a strike on the outside corner.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 11: What a night last night for Watson. First Major League
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 11: home run, two hits, and almost, almost tied the game
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 11: with a long drive to left late. But it was caught.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch. And it's down low. Good power to
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 11: the opposite field in his last at-bat. Left-handed batter with
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 11: real good pop. And it's starting to settle in at
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 11: the Major League level. A week into his Major League career.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 4: I wonder if that... I mean, that does have to
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 4: be a little tough on the pitcher to have two
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 4: different routines from as a starter and with an opener.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 11: 1-1. Misses outside.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 15: Six balls, one strike.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 11: 2-1 the count.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 4: There's no way you're throwing the same amount of pitches
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 4: as you are to start a game than you are
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 4: when an opener goes, because you don't know how long
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 4: that inning's going to be.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 3: 2-1.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 11: Swung on. Pulled foul. It is interesting. The Sox have
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 11: used it quite a bit, not only with Fetty, but
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 11: with some others, and I just feel that it obviously
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 11: gives them the best chance to win. That's why they're
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 11: doing it. I mean, they've had some pretty good success
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 11: with it.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, listen, that's the main goal of any decision
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 4: move you make. Two games. The 2-2 is upstairs for
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 4: a ball. At least it should be.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 11: This one is scoreless. Top of the second. Cloud cover
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 11: again here on the south side. And there is a
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 11: chance of showers later, so kind of a race to
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 11: get this one in. We're in the window.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 4: Reverbial window.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 11: Do you hear that anywhere else but at the ballpark?
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 14: No.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 11: Hey, we got a window.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 4: The hair on my neck just stood up hearing that.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 11: The 3-2. Outside ball four. So Fetty has come on
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 11: and walked the first two batters he's faced, and the
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 11: Guardians have something brewing here with one out in the second.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. If he still struggles with his
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 4: first inning, now you're just going to struggle with your
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 4: first inning in the second inning.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 11: Daniel Schneeman will bat. Left-handed hitter.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 4: Pitching an opener feels more like a band-aid to the
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 4: problem instead of fixing the actual problem.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 11: Fetty trying to work through it here in the second.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 11: Here's his pitch. And it's swung on and tapped foul
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 11: at home plate. Fetty, veteran pitcher, signed as a free
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 11: agent this offseason. Second go-round with the White Sox. He's
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 11: now 33 years of age. From Las Vegas, played at
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 11: the same high school, was a teammate of Bryce Harper.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 11: Here's the 0-1. Down low, 1-1. There's a high school team, huh?
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 11: He pitched here in Chicago in 2024 after a stint
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 11: in Korea. Came over here and pitched really well for
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 11: the White Sox. The 1-1. All strike on the outside corner.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 11: And it's now one and two on Schneeman. Actually looked
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 11: like he went too far on an attempted check swing.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 11: Hoskins at second. Watson at first. No score. Fetty from
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 11: the stretch. The one-two pitch. Swung on. Popped him up.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: Foul.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 11: Third base side. A look by Vargas, but he's out
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 11: of room. That one's a couple of rows back. Don't forget,
• 1:42:40

• 1:42:51
  Speaker 11: Raptor truck, courtesy of your Northeast Ohio Ford dealers. One
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 11: and two, the count on Schneeman. Here's the pitch. He swings,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 11: loops it foul again to that third base side. Again,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 11: it's out of play. Schneeman batting 213 with six home runs,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 11: 26 driven in. Two of those six home runs, grand
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 11: slams for Schneeman this year.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 4: Now, it's a little too late with two strikes right
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 4: now probably, but how often do the Guardians kind of
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 4: maybe put runners in motion, hit and runs? Do they
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 4: try too much when the offense is struggling?
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 11: The 1-2 is swung on, bounced to the second baseman,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 11: my drop, to the back for one. Montgomery to first
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 11: double play.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 4: Said it too late.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 11: Side retired. Guardians threatened but do not score. We head
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 11: to the bottom half of the second inning. Guardians nothing,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 11: White Sox nothing.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 34: Recently, our company softball team lost the big game by
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 34: one run. Then Dale tried to console us with the quote,

  Speaker 34: winning isn't everything.
• 1:43:58

• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: every afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 11: Kyle Teal leads things off for Chicago. Left-handed hitting catcher
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 11: just activated from the injured list. Playing games for the
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 11: first time this season at the Major League level, and boy,
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 11: they loved his season a year ago, so they are
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 11: glad to have him back in the fold right into
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 11: that cleanup spot. Tanner Bybee lets it go, and his
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 11: pitch is on the inside corner for a strike.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 4: No, he can hit a little bit. He had a
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 4: real good year last year.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 11: Was hurt in the WBC. Pulled a hamstring playing for
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 11: Team Italy.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 4: Those espressos.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 4: They got him.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 11: Here's the 0-1. Outside and low. Is that what the
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 11: espresso would? cause a hamstring issue, do you think?
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I know they would take him after
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 4: the home runs.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 11: Here's the 1-1 pitch. And it's a breaking ball down low.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 11: And it hit him. Caught him on the foot or
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 11: the leg going by.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 4: Bailey says he doesn't think so. He's waiting for the
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 4: Cleveland to challenge maybe.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 11: Stephen Vogt looking over. Toward the phone to see if
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 11: Gunnar Wilhelmi says challenge. No, they do not.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 4: So it hit Batsman. Probably just hit, let's see here.
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 4: Probably just hit either a piece of his jersey or
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 4: something where it didn't really make a sound.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 11: Did that hit him? You're not sold, huh?
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 4: I'm watching it. I can't even see it on the slow-mo.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 4: So interesting that Cleveland gave up on that real fast.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 11: Lead off base runner for Colson Montgomery. The pitch. And
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 11: it's on the outside corner for a strike Montgomery big
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 11: power big kit for a shortstop 20 home runs 46
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 11: runs batted in former first-round draft pick for the White
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 11: Sox Here's the 0-1. Swung on and a blast one.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 11: High and deep to right. If it stays fair, maybe,
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 11: but no. Caught at the wall. In fair territory by Watson.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 4: That ball took forever to get down. I thought Watson
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 4: played it well, too. He almost kind of, he knew
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 4: it was coming into him. He knew it wasn't going out.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 4: He was camped under it. He kind of slow played
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 4: the catch to see if he could get the runner
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 4: to tag a little bit off and maybe leave early,
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 4: but got the throw in real fast. Wasn't able to
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 4: tag up, so good play by Watson, too.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 11: So one down in the inning. A little bit of
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 11: a deep. It is 335 down the line. That ball
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 11: went 334. as he was right up against the wall
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 11: to make the catch.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 4: Morning track power we call that with 20 home.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 11: Runs chase my drop the batter here's the pitch And
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 11: it's inside for ball one.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 11: Montgomery's on the phone. He asked if you'd step outside.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 11: Discuss warning track power. Please tell him I'm busy. My draw.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 11: Another solid young player for the White Sox. They have
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 11: a slew of them. Here's the 1-0. And it's on
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 11: the outside corner for a strike. This team broke the
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 11: major league record for losses in a season just two
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 11: years ago. 121 losses. but they have turned it around quickly.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 1-1 from Tanner Bybee. Fastball strike on
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 11: the outside corner, 1-2.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 4: Real good sequence from Bybee right there with the slider
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 4: kind of in, starting at the hitter to freeze him
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 4: on the inside, and then that 2-seam away probably looks
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 4: just like a mile away to the right-handed hitter, and
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 4: it comes back to the play. There's never a time
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 4: to swing at it.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 11: Here's the 1-2 pitch. Low and outside. Went with a
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 11: slider that time, and it's 2-2 on my draw in
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 11: this scoreless game, bottom of the second inning.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 4: I do love how they've added so many different names
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 4: to the pitches up there now. Sweeper, Slurve. Slider, cutter, curve,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 4: knuckle curve, everything comes up now.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 11: The 2-2 is looped down the right side. Fair ball.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 11: On his way to third, motoring there is Teal. Holding
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 11: at first base is Mydra as Watson was able to
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 11: get to it quickly. And it's first and third now
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 11: for the White Sox with one out.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 4: Well, kind of the same pitch they threw that started
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 4: outside and came all the way back to the outside
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 4: of the plate for a strike. This one caught too
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 4: much of the plate and a good piece of hitting
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 4: kind of by Maidra to kind of get jammed and
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 4: just fling it down the right field line, stay through it.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 4: He had seen it before, so now he's kind of
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 4: diving in on it. And then good play by Watson,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 4: kind of keeping him at first base to keep that
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 4: double play in order right now.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 11: Now Braden Montgomery, the right fielder. Here's the pitch from Bybee.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 11: And it's on the outside corner for a strike. Talked
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 11: about it a lot. Garrett Crochet was traded to Boston
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 11: in the offseason prior to last year, and the haul
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 11: that the White Sox got back, absolutely tremendous.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they miss him, but they're not trading back.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 11: The 0-1 on the outside corner for a strike. It
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 11: included the batter right now, Montgomery. Bidroth at first base
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 11: and Teal at third base. It's remarkable.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 4: Three starters.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 11: And they feel three starters that can be a real
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 11: cornerstone for this ball club. And we mentioned 121 losses
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 11: two years ago.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 3: 41 wins.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 11: They're at 41 wins today in June.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 4: That's a mentally tough season.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 19: 121 losses.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 4: That's not even getting lucky. Now the 0-2 from Bybee.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 4: Up high for a ball. You know what I mean?
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 4: That's not even like just a couple stuff going your
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 4: way one night or anything like that. Oof.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 11: Well, they tried to make the best of it, made
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 11: some moves that are paying off now, which is hard
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 11: to do at the time. Here's the 1-2. low and
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 11: in for a ball. 2-2. And we had Will Venable
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 11: on the warm-up show tonight or today. And that was
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 11: a move that has really worked out well. They brought
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 11: him in to start last season and he has done
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 11: great work managing this ball club. And they've made some
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 11: great additions player-wise too.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 4: Taking over for Grady.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 11: Now the 2-2. Swung on. Popped up foul. Out of play.
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 11: Third base side.
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 4: Wasn't Grady Sizemore the interim for a little bit?
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 11: Did a nice job here. They were happy. I think
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 11: he was surprised how much he enjoyed managing. Now he's
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 11: on the coaching staff for the Minnesota Twins. Doing some
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 11: good work there too. Here's the 2-2 from Tanner Bybee.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 11: Just missed outside for ball three.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 4: Grady's the reason more or less I moved to second base.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 4: So I came up, I was drafted as an outfielder,
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 4: and a healthy grade of Sizemore was going nowhere at
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 4: the time.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 11: Payoff pitch from Tanner Pibie. Here it is. There goes
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 11: the runner at first. The pitch is a strike. The
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 11: throw down is safe at second base. It looked like
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 11: a great slide by Maidroth to elude the tag at second.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 11: The runner at third state.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 4: My fault, my fault. I thought Rokio would be a
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 4: little bit more animated for that challenge if he got
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 4: him there.
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 11: Okay, it looks like we still are going to challenge.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 11: So the Guardians will challenge. They feel that Rokio did
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 11: apply the tag, and we'll see.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 9: Cleveland is challenging the safe call at second base.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 11: That's Marv Hudson.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 4: I think he's out. He's out.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 11: The other night, Marv, by the end of the game,
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 11: that wild game on Monday night, He got on there
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 11: and said, on the last play of the game, Cleveland's
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 11: challenging everything.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's challenging all of it.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 11: They have the option of a plate block.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 4: This is a real big strike them out, throw them out,
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 4: I think they're going to get for us.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 11: The strikeout completed.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 4: I never know with New York. There's some plays I
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 4: would have put my... tire contract on. This one's an
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 4: easy one. Let's go. And it was overturned or never
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 4: went my way and I was just like, what are
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 4: they seeing that I'm not? Look at all the angles
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 4: they have. They're showing a picture of New York up
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 4: here at the stadium with all these different angles.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 11: Well, it certainly won't overshadow the good throw by Bailey
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 11: who has really been throwing well since being acquired from
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 11: the Giants.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 4: He was always considered one of the better defensive catchers
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 4: in the game. I wonder how much the ABS system, though,
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 4: has taken away the art of framing to where people
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 4: can just challenge. Like, there is an art where you
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 4: can steal strikes.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 11: Well, they say where it comes into play now, hitters,
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 11: if they know the reputation that Patrick Bailey has, they
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 11: might be less likely to challenge.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 4: Interesting. But also, if he's that good of a framer
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 4: or that good of a strike stealer, wouldn't you be
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 4: more likely to challenge then? Maybe.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 11: Here we go.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 9: After review, the call on the field is overturned.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 10: The runner is out.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: Boom.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 11: Quiggle will retain their challenge.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 11: Did you get him earlier? So, the side is retired
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 11: on the strike him out, throw him out, double play.
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 11: We remain scoreless after two in Chicago.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Verb, and I'll be bringing the heat
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: every afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 11: Third inning, Patrick Bailey leads things off for the Guardians.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 11: Scoreless game, he's facing right-hander Eric Fetty. Here's the pitch,
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 11: and Bailey swings, taps it to third, backhand stop by Vargas,
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 11: and he throws across the diamond in time for the out.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 11: One pitch, one down. Jim Rosenhaus along with Jason Kipnis
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 11: joining us here in Chicago with Hammy. Off for the
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 11: remainder of the road trip, which ends here today. And
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 11: Tom will be back on Friday when the Guardians open
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 11: a new homestand against the Mariners. Friday night with a
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 11: 7-10 start. Number nine hitter Stephen Kwan steps in. No
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 11: score in this one. Here's the pitch. And it's in
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 11: there for a strike. And this is the Hyundai Grand
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 11: Slam giveaway inning. Karen Rusko of Parma is our contestant today.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 11: Here's the 0-1. Down low, 1-1. The InfoGuardians hit a
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 11: grand slam here in the third. Karen Rusko of Parma
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 11: wins a Hyundai Kona, courtesy of your Northern Ohio Hyundai dealers.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 11: The 1-1. Swung on, lined left side, based it in
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 11: the left field. Kwan's aboard with a leadoff single.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 4: That was a vintage Kwan swing right there. Hitting it
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 4: where it's pitched, not doing too much with it, staying balanced.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 4: Bad pass looked a lot better that way. You can
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 4: tell it's gotten a little longer times, a little bit
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 4: more dip in the barrel than I'm accustomed to seeing.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 4: Normally he's so direct to the ball and it's so
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 4: fun to watch. But that swing looked like it there.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 11: So top of the lineup now and Travis Bazzano will
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 11: step in. He struck out to open the game today.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 11: What a road trip it's been for him though as
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 11: he swings and misses for strike one. The big rip. Hitting.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 11: 357 on the trip with three home runs and seven
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 11: runs driven in. A lot of that on Saturday night
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 11: in Houston. Two of the home runs, five of the
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 11: RBIs and a career night, a four-hit night for him
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 11: in Houston. Throw to first, diving back in is Kwon.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 11: I'm going to say career night for Bazzana, all 49
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 11: games worth.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 4: Statement still holds true.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 11: But a really good rookie season going for Bazzana. Here's
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 11: the 0-1 Swung on and there's a tapper slowly hit
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 11: to the second baseman by drop to the back for one.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 11: But Bazana's flying down the line and Montgomery the shortstop
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 11: doesn't even throw to first. Two down in the inning.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 11: Bazana at first now.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 4: Hit too little softly to kind of turn it on
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 4: double play though but hit right at the guy nothing
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 4: you can really do. He seems just a little out
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 4: in front right now today but Travis that he has
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 4: these first two games of this series. He kind of
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 4: looks giddy. He kind of wants to do damage on
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 4: the ball, but sometimes you have to make sure that
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 4: you're letting the ball travel, even more so than.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 11: Now Brian Rocchio steps in. He struck out his first
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 11: time up, and he swings and misses for strike one.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 4: They're coming out swinging right now. There's a lot of
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 4: first pitch swings of some of the bats so far,
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 4: so you can tell that that's what they've talked about
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 4: a little bit. Team approach. They're not waiting around for
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 4: two strikes. They're probably talking like, hey, we're We're giving
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 4: up too many early strikes in the count where we're
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 4: not doing damage. We're just letting them get ahead of us.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 4: So let's be ready to swing for the first pitch on.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 11: It's 0-1 on Rokio with Pazana at first. No score.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 11: Long set. Now the pitch. Swung on. Foul back into
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 11: the screen. And it's 0-2 on Rokio. A switch hitter.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 11: Had it from the right side. First time up against Murphy.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 4: The opener.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 11: And now Fetty, a right-hander. He came on last inning.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 11: Two outs. Fetty from the stretch. Here's his pitch. And
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 11: it's swung on. Loop toward the third baseman. Making the catch.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 11: Have a little humpback liner as Vargas' side retired. As
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 11: Rocchio's retired. And we'll head to the bottom of the
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 11: third inning. No score from Chicago.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 21: Swung on line toward the gap and left center. Kwon
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 21: dives and made that catch!
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 11: What a play by Kwon!
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 21: Stephen Kwon just keeps on delivering.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 19: This is Stephen Kwon.
• 2:00:32

  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Verb, and I'll be bringing the heat
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: every afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 11: Tristan Peters will lead things off for Chicago in a
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 11: scoreless game, bottom of the third inning, facing Tanner Bybee.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch, and it's up high for ball one. Peters,
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 11: left-handed hitting outfielder. Batting. 289 with three homers, 24 driven in.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 11: Former Tampa Bay Ray picked up in the offseason. The
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 11: 1-0 down low, 2-0. That's the thing with the White Sox.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 11: They have all these young players who are reaching the
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 11: major leagues and contributing, but they've made some nice moves
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 11: on the fringes, acquiring players, veteran players to plug in
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 11: who've had really good years. I think you need that
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 11: for a structure of a lineup. The 2-0 is chopped
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 11: to first. Nice easy hop for the first baseman, Manzardo.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 11: Steps on the back for the out, one away.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 4: Just for the structure of a team, I think you
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 4: want that blend of rookies coming up who are bringing
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 4: that excitement, that energy, that everything's new to them for
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 4: the first time. You want those guys who have been
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 4: to it before to kind of steer them in the
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 4: right path and talk to them about everything. Those kind
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 4: of journeymen who are excited to have any opportunity at all.
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 4: Everybody should be excited about any opportunity they get in
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 4: this league. So much fun to put on the uniform.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 11: Here's Jacob Gonzalez, and he takes a pitch down low.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 11: Now this is one of the young prospects, former first-round
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 11: pick not too long ago, 2023, 15th overall. Here comes
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 11: the 1-0 pitch. And it swung on and skied high
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 11: in the air to right. Going back initially, Watson, now
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 11: he has to charge in, and he makes the running catch.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 11: Not that far from the infield. My goodness.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 4: I think he thought that was just an infield fly
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 4: ball right off the bat. He almost kind of took
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 4: his few steps slow, walking a little bit. He didn't
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 4: realize that whether it was the wind or something was
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 4: going to blow that a little bit further out than
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 4: he thought. And he was almost playing back on the
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 4: warning track. He was playing real deep and right. So
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 4: he kind of then turned on those burners and came
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 4: in real hot for that one. Made it a little
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 4: bit harder than it needed to.
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 11: Two up, two down.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 11: Sam Antonacci steps in. Popped a short his first time.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 11: Pitched to him. Outside for a ball. Hey, go back
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 11: to that. Just the joy of putting the uniform on
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 11: in the big leagues.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 4: Every day. Every day. Again, my perspective hasn't changed too much.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 4: I think maybe it's even grown in my love for
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 4: the game. But it was an honor to wear a
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 4: jersey every day. Guaido misses down. Listen, I never played
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 4: for money. I never played for a contract. I just
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 4: loved playing under the lights in front of big crowds.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 4: I thought it was just the coolest thing in the world.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 4: I think now it's like if you ask me right
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 4: after I retired.
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 11: The 2-0 pitch. Swung on. Popped it up.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 10: Foul.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 11: Third base side. Maybe a play for Schneeman. Runs out
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 11: of room.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 4: I think if you asked me after I retired, my
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 4: answer would have been a little different, but I probably
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 4: would have been lying through my teeth where I said
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 4: I probably didn't like the game or didn't miss the
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 4: game and all those answers. But I think it's because
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 4: I wanted to keep playing so bad. I've seen guys
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 4: who were, I didn't think they were better than me
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 4: and they were still playing, so I was mad at
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 4: the game. But now that years have passed and I
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 4: know for a fact I can't be playing anymore, it's
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 4: easier for me to say and realize how much I
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 4: enjoy playing this game.
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 11: Here's the 2-1. Swing and a miss. 2-2 the count.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 11: On Antonacci.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 4: Because you don't get to play forever, and I think
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 4: that's what makes it beautiful. I think you can only
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 4: get a certain amount of time to play this game,
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 4: and you hope you do everything you can to stretch
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 4: it into as long as you can, but father time
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 4: starts calling for everybody at some point.
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 11: Now the 2-2. Swung on, looped foul, out of play,
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 11: third base side again.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 4: I think that's why, I mean, you know this, or
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 4: a lot of maybe more Clevelanders would know this about me,
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 4: where it's like they've heard of, If I would maybe
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 4: throw a helmet here or a bat here or there
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 4: or two, I just wanted to be good or wanted
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 4: to do well so bad that because I just wanted
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 4: to make sure that I kept playing for so long.
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 4: There are times I for sure gripped it too tight
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 4: and that might have been counterproductive, but yeah.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 11: The 2-2, swung on, line drive up the middle, base
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 11: hit into center field. Antonacci reaches on a two-out single.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 11: There was that room behind the The Guardians dug out that.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 4: You do know about the room. The remodeling?
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 11: The remodeling, I think they saved a portion, at least
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 11: a wall with some dents in it. I think there's
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 11: a memento.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 4: There was one time I think I took a bat.
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 4: It wasn't my bat. This is something you should never do. Well,
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 4: you should never really throw a bat or anything like that,
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 4: but I just found the worst looking bat I could find.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 11: Miguel Vargas, the batter. Vantanachi a threat to run at first.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch.
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 4: Up and in. And I was one of those guys,
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 4: I'll be throwing a little tantrum down there or something
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 4: or slamming stuff or taking off a wood door with
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 4: my bat. You could tell me a joke and I
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 4: would laugh in the middle of it. So I literally
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 4: got it out of my system and right after my
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 4: last slam I was ready to joke and be back
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 4: in the game and all that stuff. So I really
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 4: was kind of getting it out of my system. Not
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 4: that it's an excuse.
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 11: The 1-0. in there for a strike.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 4: But I couldn't find one of my bats.
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 10: And we have.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 11: An ABS challenge from Vargas.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 4: But I couldn't find one of my bats, so I
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 4: was like, okay, well there's some BP bats.
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 11: That was a ball.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 4: And I just start going to town on this helmet rack.
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 4: And I was like, thank God there's this crappy bat
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 4: right there. And then later I'm down there looking at
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 4: the bat again on the computer or something like that.
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch to Vargas. After a long hold by Bybee,
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 11: here it comes. Up and in. Snap throw to first.
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 11: Back safely. And to notch.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 4: And there's going to be a second Ryan Rayburn name
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 4: drop where we mentioned yesterday. But Ryan Rayburn comes down
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 4: an inning later. Almost grabs him by my jersey. Goes, hey, man.
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 4: If you're going to take a bat and slam some stuff,
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 4: I'm fine with that, but take your own bat. Why'd
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 4: you use my gamer bat? And I'm already like, it's
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 4: out of my system. And I'm just like, that's your
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 4: gamer bat, Ryan? I was like, this is the big leagues.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 4: We can get you better bats than that.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 11: The 3-0 swung on, lined in the left, a face hit.
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 11: Moving up 90 feet, Antonacci, he'll hold at second. Back-to-back
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 11: singles now with two down, couple of men on for
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 11: the White Sox in the third of a scoreless game.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 4: He didn't find it as funny. I mean, obviously, he's
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 4: got over it. We all have boxes of bats down there,
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 4: and we've got better ones. But moral of the story,
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 4: don't touch anybody else's stuff if you're throwing a little
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 4: kid tantrum down there. That's rule number one. That's definitely, yeah.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 4: Don't hurt yourself. Don't touch other people's stuff. Respect the
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 4: environment to a degree.
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 11: Andrew Benintendi, the batter. Pitch to him. Tried to check
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 11: his swing. Couldn't do it. Strike one.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 4: And was it never punch with your throwing hand?
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 2: No.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 4: Full Durham.
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 11: No one won the count. He's ready. Here's the pitch. Inside.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 11: Ball one. I should know this, but did you ever
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 11: play in the Carolina League on your way up?
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Kinston.
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 11: In Durham?
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 4: Kinston.
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 11: Oh, they would have been in AAA at that point.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 4: They would have been in AAA. So they were the
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 4: AAA for Tampa Bay.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 1-1. Swung on. Cued slowly to third.
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 4: Up with it.
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 10: Schneeman.
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 11: Short way to second. In time for the out. Rocchio covering.
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 11: Side retired. Bybee works out of the jam. Three complete
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 11: in Chicago on a sunny late afternoon. No score.
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 14: And click shredding.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Verb, and I'll be bringing the heat
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: every afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 11: Guardians, White Sox, no score. Fourth inning now. David Fry
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 11: leads it off. First pitch swinging. Bounces one to short.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 2: Up with it.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 11: Montgomery throws him out at first. One pitch, one down.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 11: And the Guardians continue to be aggressive against Eric Fetty.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 4: You could tell that. They definitely have talked about swinging
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 4: first pitches here. Still got to make it a strike.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 4: But no one's getting beats. I do like that. Nobody's
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 4: really late. I like the fact that, I mean, it's
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 4: not having success too much yet, but I like the
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 4: fact that they're at least on time and if not early.
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 11: Kyle Manzardo, the batter, flied to center his first time up.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch. And it's on the inside corner for
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 11: a strike. He was the last batter to face the opener,
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 11: Chris Murphy. Murphy retired the four batters he faced. Then
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 11: Fetty comes on, and they'll let him go as long
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 11: as he can. Here's the 0-1. Up and in. 1-1
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 11: the count on Manzardo. No runs, one hit for the Guardians.
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 11: No runs, three hits for Chicago. A 1-1 pitch on
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 11: the outside corner for a strike. Good changeup. Step up
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 11: to the plate at BP Live. It's Saturday, July the
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 11: 11th at Progressive Field. Your chance to take batting practice
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 11: on the field. Shag fly balls. Play catch in the outfield.
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 11: Tour the visitor's clubhouse. Visit events.cleguardians.com to register. Pitch is
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 11: down low to Manzardo. And the count's now 2-2. Final
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 11: game of a nine-game road swing for the Guardians. Three cities.
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 11: The 2-2 swung on, and that's looped to shallow center.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 11: That'll get down for a base hit. Manzardo aboard with
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 11: a one-out single.
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 4: Good job staying through a changeup right there. I think
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 4: he had thrown it a couple times in that at-bat already,
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 4: and that one caught the most of the plate that
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 4: he could do something with, at least. The other one
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 4: almost looked like he wanted to challenge it on the
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 4: outside part. He didn't agree that it was a strike.
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 4: But this one was a little bit closer and able
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 4: to stay through for a single up the middle. Good
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 4: piece of hitting.
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 11: Now Reese Hoskins, who walked his first time up. Bright
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 11: sunshine now here in Chicago. The pitch inside for a ball.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 11: And what that means, we have the late-day shadows starting
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 11: to become a factor. They're pulling over the first base
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 11: side of the infield just inside the foul line. So
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 11: the hitter's in shadows. The pitcher is in sunshine.
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 2: The 1-0.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 11: In there for a strike. One and one.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 4: Maybe that's why they're swinging early. You get the most
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 4: at-bats before the shadows come and all that stuff.
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 11: So explain for the fans, why is this such a
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 11: challenge when you have shadows figuring in?
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 4: It just enters another dimension to the difficulty in hitting
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 4: a baseball. I think when it comes..
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 11: The one-one. Swing and a miss.
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 4: When you're trying so hard to pick up the seams
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 4: of a ball or to pick up the pitcher's arm
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 4: rotation or the hand slot... If it's bright, if the
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 4: sun's beaming down on it, it kind of gives that
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 4: glare and you can't pick up the seams anymore at all.
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 4: If it's the shadows, now it's going from maybe brightness
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 4: to a shade, and it's changing the element of what
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 4: you're trying to see right there, and it's just making
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 4: it harder.
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 11: The one-two, that missed upstairs, not by much.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 4: Instead of your brain being able to process the spin
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 4: of a ball in the daylight, I think in watching
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 4: that the whole way into a strike zone, now it
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 4: has to process it. Now it crosses over to a shadow,
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 4: and you're like, okay, is it still doing the same
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 4: thing as it was? You kind of just have to
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 4: fill in the blanks from what it changes from right
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 4: to dark.
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 11: The 2-2. Swag and a miss. Strike three. Hoskins down
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 11: on strikes for the second out in the inning. Still
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 11: no score. We're in the fourth. Top half. Khalil Watson
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 11: will step in. That's the first strikeout for Fedde.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 4: Now, some guys can wear glasses. I think that kind
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 4: of alleviates a little bit of their eyesight, and it
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 4: helps them kind of keep it one shade throughout to
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 4: some degree. I wasn't that guy. I couldn't really wear
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 4: glasses or never did too much when I hit.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 11: Pitch to Watson, down low and outside. Watson walked his
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 11: first time up. That's amazing. After getting that first hit
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 11: in his major league career Monday night, How relaxed he
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 11: has been since. And he swings and drills one high
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 11: and deep to right center. But moving over, making the catch,
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 11: the center fielder, Peters. Well struck by Watson, but he's retired.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 11: And so are the Guardians in the fourth. After three
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 11: and a half, still no score. Guardians and White Sox
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 11: on the south side.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 25: This is the call of the Australian rubber bird.
• 2:15:17

  Speaker 38: On 570 WKBN.
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 11: Kyle Teal leads things off for the White Sox. Bottom
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 11: half of inning number four, and he takes a fastball
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 11: strike from Tanner Bybee. Teal was hit by a pitch
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 11: his first time up. Former first-round draft pick of the
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 11: Red Sox, but came over in that Garrett Crochet trade
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 11: that has worked so well for Chicago. The 0-1, breaking ball.
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 11: He tried to check his swing, couldn't do it.
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 2: It's 0-2.
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 11: No score in this one. This one shaping up similar
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 11: to last night. Great pitching from Parker Messick. and Sean Burke,
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 11: the starters.
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 4: They were both very sharp.
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 11: Here's the 0-2. Swung on, and that's looped to shallow center.
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 11: Leaping attempt and a catch by Rocio. Going up the
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 11: ladder to do it.
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 4: Broken bat, not much on it, but the placement was
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 4: there for the hitter to get a good single, but
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 4: Rokia with a great first-step read on that ball going
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 4: back immediately. Timed up his jump perfectly.
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 11: So one out. Base is empty for Colson Montgomery. Don't forget,
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 11: MLB Journey to 30 Sweepstakes is underway. It's presented by T-Mobile,

• 2:18:37
  Speaker 11: And it's outside for a ball.
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 10: Previous pitch was called a ball, catch is challenging.
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 11: Maybe not a ball. Go to MLB.com slash journey to
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 11: 30 sweeps.
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 4: And it was a ball.
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 11: So 1-0 the count on Montgomery.
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 4: Questionable challenge there a little bit then. Kind of goes
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 4: against what we were saying about him earlier.
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 11: Here comes Bybee's 1-0 pitch. Swung on.
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 4: Popped it up.
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 10: Foul.
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 11: Back behind home plate and out of play. Just above us.
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 40: Almost.
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 2: Almost.
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 11: You want one to come in here?
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 4: Always.
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 11: You do. Always. All right.
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 4: And I expect you to catch it.
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you might be disappointed.
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 11: I'm just going to say. Here comes the 1-1. Down low.
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 3: 2-1-1.
• 2:19:35
  Speaker 11: The track record is not good.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 4: I can tell you right now. Yeah, but now I'm
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 4: finally in a position to be like, well, why didn't
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 4: you catch that ball? That's true.
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 11: Funny how that comes full circle. Here's the 2-1. Swung on,
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 11: popped up, and that's out towards shallow left. Under it
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 11: is Rocchio, who makes the catch for the second out
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 11: in the inning. I never questioned. He made an error?
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 4: That is tough. That's the toughest play I've ever seen.
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 4: Did you make an error? I can't believe it.
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 11: They gave him an error.
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 4: Other turntables.
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 11: Two up, two down here in the fourth. We're joined
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 11: by Jason Kipnis here in Chicago. Chicago kid, this is fun.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 11: You get to stay at home.
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 4: This is nice.
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 11: Chase Mydroth, the batter. Here comes the pitch from Tanner Bybee.
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 11: And it's up and in. A little chin music. And
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 11: you always like coming here. This was your spot. Fun
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 11: to see it jumping a little bit again.
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. I don't want them to win any of
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 4: these games versus Cleveland. I don't want them to win
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 4: the division or anything like that. But as a Chicago native,
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 4: it is fun to have the White Sox being decent again.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 4: I will say that. It's hard to not say that.
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 11: The 1-0 on the outside corner for a strike. and
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 11: they had 28,000 here on a Tuesday night last night,
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 11: and those folks were into the game.
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, just any city's more fun when their teams
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 4: are doing well, their sports teams are doing well.
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 11: Here's the 1-1. Swung on, blasted high, but fouled down
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 11: the left side and out of play.
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 4: It gives a good rivalry between the Sox and the Cubs.
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 4: So yeah, everybody knows I do a little bit of
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 4: marquee TV with the Cubs too, but it's just It's
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 4: just because I live here, Cleveland people. It's just because
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 4: I live here. I wanted to stay in the game,
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 4: and it's closer to me. Otherwise, I would do Cleveland
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 4: full-time if I could or chose to. I don't know
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 4: if they would have let me, but.
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 11: Here's the 1-2. Outside and low.
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 3: 2-2.
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 11: And you did get back to Cleveland for the 10-year
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 11: anniversary of the 2016 club.
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 4: I've been back a couple times. I always try to
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 4: find my way back. I love it there.
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 11: Here's the 2-2 pitch. Swung on. Popped it up. Foul.
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 11: Upper deck. First base side.
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 14: Two down.
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 11: Base is empty here in the fourth inning. No score. Two-hour,
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 11: 40-minute rain delay today. That's why we're playing now. If
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 11: you're driving home, drive time back in Cleveland. Great to
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 11: have you with us. Here comes the 2-2. Swing and
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 11: a missed strike three. Got him to chase. My drop
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 11: down on strikes to retire the side. The second strikeout
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 11: for Tanner Bybee and we'll head to the fifth. Guardians nothing.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 11: White Sox nothing.
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 1: It's Ron Ferb and I've got opinions you'll want to hear.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 11: Daniel Schneeman starts it for the Guardians. Fifth inning, first
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 11: pitch swinging. Pops one up, shallow right. Out goes the
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 11: second baseman, Mydroth. He's under it and makes the catch
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 11: for the first down in the inning. Let's pause. Ten seconds,
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 11: station ID on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 5: From the Money Talks investment coach, John Arnold Studios, this
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 5: is 570 WKBN Youngstown, an iHeartRadio station, guaranteed human.
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 11: Jim Rosenhouse along with Jason Kipnis back with you at
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 11: Raitt Field in Chicago. Late start due to rain today,
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 11: but great weather now as Patrick Bailey steps in and
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 11: takes a pitch outside for a ball. Nick Heppner, our
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 11: on-site engineer here in the booth. Brian Motze back at
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 11: Command Center in downtown Cleveland. Final day of a nine-game
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 11: road trip for the Guardians. Eric Fetty on the mound
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 11: for Chicago. Here's his 1-0 pitch. And Bailey takes a
• 2:23:50
  Speaker 11: strike on the outside corner. 1-1 the count. Bailey tapped
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 11: a third his first time up. He has swung the
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 11: bat extremely well of late. The average. Here's the pitch.
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 11: Outside for a ball. The average with Cleveland. Now in
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 11: his 24th game since the trade from the Giants. It's
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 11: up to. 238 after a slow start. And that has
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 11: been moving upward quickly. A home run, six driven in.
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 11: The 2-1 swung on and fouled back. 2-2 the count.
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 11: And he made one of the great scoring plays for
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 11: the Guardians late in the game the other night. Instead
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 11: of sliding at home plate, avoided the tag by going
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 11: in standing up and made it.
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 4: I think that they say that he kind of referenced
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 4: running to first base that you don't slide because it's
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 4: faster just to keep running. And that's why he chose
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 4: to stand up.
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 11: The 2-2 is up high for ball three.
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it works. Hey, sometimes everything works.
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 11: You gotta figure the catcher's waiting for the slide, so..
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, again, the catcher caught the good scoop by
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 4: the catcher, but put the glove right to the front
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 4: of the plate, expecting the slide.
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 11: The 3-2 swung on, fouled back.
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 4: So it was a perfect time to do it. And
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 4: there's no way to really know of it. I mean,
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 4: I guess you could read the catcher if you have
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 4: enough time, and you're assuming that's where his glove's going,
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 4: but I mean, if he made that kind of split-second
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 4: decision at that time, what a play. Even more of
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 4: a heads-up play.
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 11: The payoff pitch. Swung on, slapped to third, smothered on
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 11: the short hop by Vargas, throws to first, and he
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 11: got him! Oh, what a play by Vargas.
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 4: Those kind of plays just really grind your gears as
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 4: a hitter. When you do everything right, you work your
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 4: way back into a good hitter's account, swing at the
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 4: right pitch, hit it the right way, hit it where
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 4: it's pitched, and Defense sometimes makes a play. You just
• 2:25:45
  Speaker 4: got to remember, there's a major league defense out there
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 4: waiting for you.
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 11: Vargas with a great play. He's having a tremendous season offensively.
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 11: Stepping in is Stephen Kwan. Here's the pitch. And it's
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 11: on the outside corner for a strike. And he's trying
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 11: to become the first White Sox third baseman to make
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 11: the all-star team. since Joe Creedy back in 2008.
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 4: I used to love watching Joe Creedy play. How about that?
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 4: There's Joe Creedy, Canerco, Aaron Rowan. Here's Scotty Pods.
• 2:26:22
  Speaker 11: Here's the 1-1. A pie.
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 9: 2-1.
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of Cleveland people who probably didn't like
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 4: that team too much, but just remember I wasn't with
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 4: you yet. I was an impressionable boy.
• 2:26:32
  Speaker 11: One of those guys on the 2005 World Series champs
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 11: here in Chicago. Here's the 2-1. Swung on, and that's
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 11: lifted to shallow center, and that drops for a base hit.
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 11: Juan's now 2-for-2.
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 4: Man, we talked about this the other night about him.
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 4: I think good hitters get jammed, and he was always
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 4: doing that. He was just hitting it where it's pitched,
• 2:26:56
  Speaker 4: taking what they give you, but good hitters get jammed.
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 4: I think they let the ball travel deep to allow
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 4: themselves even more time to recognize, and that's twice kind
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 4: of now that he's absolutely just let it really travel in,
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 4: forced his way up through the middle with his swing
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 4: and gotten two hits to reward himself for it. That's
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 4: the old Quan we're seeing right there. That was nice.
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 11: Travis Pazana steps in, takes a fastball outside for ball one.
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 11: Pazana 0 for 2, batting with two down and a
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 11: runner at first in a scoreless game. Fifth inning.
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 4: Now we said he was a little antsy in his
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 4: first two at-bats. I hope maybe after watching Quan kind
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 4: of get jammed right there, maybe kind of.
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 11: Pitch to him. Fastball strike on the outside corner.
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 4: Kind of take notes and follow suit and let the
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 4: ball travel a little bit. He's not one of them,
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 4: but when guys are slumping, you're so, in your mind,
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 4: you just want to barrel up everything. That's just not
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 4: the way to hit all those.
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 1-1.
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 3: 1-1.
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 11: Off speed, outside.
• 2:27:57
  Speaker 4: And let me elaborate on that, because there's people who
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 4: are like, what do you mean you don't want to
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 4: barrel stuff up? Well, it's like when you hit off
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 4: the tee or you're doing flips on an outside pitch,
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 4: you're like, oh, I've got to hit a home run
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 4: to left center. The pitch is in the inside. I've
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 4: got to hit a home run to right center. You're like,
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 4: that's not how you hit. Sometimes a pitch and its
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 4: location just calls for a single that way.
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 11: The 2-1. Low and outside. Another changeup.
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 4: But it's hard to... to remember that sometimes and I
• 2:28:25
  Speaker 4: think when you're slumping you always think of oh I
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 4: gotta have more hits and hit for a higher average
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 4: let me work on staying through this ball on the
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 4: outside and then you see this pitch on the outside
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 4: you're like I'm gonna stay through it but it's not
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 4: even a pitch you should be hitting.
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 11: Anyways the 3-1 strike called on the outside corner good.
• 2:28:40
  Speaker 4: Pitchers pitch right there that was never really a strike
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 4: a sweeper on the outside that started away and came
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 4: back to just nick the strike zone that's not what
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 4: you want on a 3-1 pitch so good.
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 11: Take Now it's 3-2 on Travis Pisana. Juan at first.
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 11: He'll release and head to second. Here it comes. And
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 11: it's swung on and drilled to right on a line,
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 11: but caught by Montgomery. Line drive from Pisana, but right
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 11: at the right fielder, Montgomery. Side retired. After four and
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 11: a half here in Chicago, Guardians nothing, and the White
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 11: Sox nothing on the Cleveland Clinic radio network.
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 21: Hey, Guardians fans, are you thinking of consolidating your debt
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 21: with a home equity loan? With the average homeowner having
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 21: over $ 200, 000 of home equity, hit it out of the
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 21: park with Union Home Mortgage, the official mortgage partner of

  Speaker 36: they apologize? Does your first childhood memory involve crying on

• 2:31:04
  Speaker 14: Hey, it's Ron Verb.
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 1: Real issues, real talk, tomorrow afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 11: Tanner Bybee back to work. Bottom of the fifth inning.
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 11: Scoreless game. Braden Montgomery the batter. Swings and cues one
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 11: foul over to his own on-deck circle. Bottom third of
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 11: the lineup due in against Bybee. Shades of the early
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 11: season when run support was hard to come by for him.
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 11: Hence the record at At just 2-8, despite pitching well
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 11: most of the year. Here's his 0-1. Swung on, ripped
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 11: on the ground, one hop to short, grabbed by Rocchio,
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 11: fires to first in time for the out.
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 4: Kind of a low liner in the infield, but Rocchio
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 4: really rounded the ball well. Yeah, there we go, I
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 4: had to move my mic down, excuse me. But Rocchio,
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 4: the footwork on him at short was really good on
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 4: that one. The way he rounded made that play easier
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 4: for him. If you try to do just a backhanded
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 4: pick like that, it might not have gone so well.
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 4: But that's good infielders use their footwork to put them
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 4: in the best position to field the ball.
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 11: Now Tristan Peters, first pitch swinging, swings and misses for
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 11: strike one.
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 4: Or so I've heard.
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 11: Now wait a minute.
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 4: Give yourself some credit.
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 11: As you were saying earlier, though, you're having a career outfielder,
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 11: and you had to move in to the infield to
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 11: make room for someone else. Here's a bouncing ball foul
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 11: outside of first. And someone else being Grady Sizemore at
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 11: the time when you were drafted.
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 4: They did, and I always considered myself a baseball player first.
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 4: So when they came to me at Instructs, I was drafted,
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 4: went to short season, Mahoning Valley, Mahoning Valley Scrappers, shot out.
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 4: Then they call you back to Goodyear, Arizona, Instructs for
• 2:32:54
  Speaker 4: about 20 days. and I had Travis Fryman and some
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 4: other coaches call me over and hit me a bucket
• 2:32:59
  Speaker 4: of ground balls. They gave me someone else's infield glove.
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 11: Here's the 0-2. Swung on, yanked foul way upstairs into
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 11: the upper deck first base side.
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 4: They gave me someone else's infield glove, hit me a
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 4: bucket of balls, and I remember I think I had
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 4: made every play, and it was probably hideous, but never
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 4: really saw my outfield glove again, and it's like you
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 4: can be comfortable and Center field, maybe a double-A or
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 4: triple-A behind Grady and never get a call-up. Or you
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 4: could be uncomfortable in the big leagues if you work
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 4: your way up.
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 11: The 0-2 bounced in there.
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 4: Because they had liked my bat. They thought a college bat. Obviously,
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 4: I thought I was myself, confident in my abilities there
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 4: and was going to move up fast the way I
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 4: could hit. But you just make that switch from outfield
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 4: to infield and expect to kind of go on. They
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 4: put you on a fast path. I wasn't going to
• 2:33:42
  Speaker 4: argue that. They're telling me this is my way up
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 4: to the big leagues. I was going to take it.
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 1-2 from Bybee. Swung on, line, caught
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 11: by the first baseman, Manzardo. Two up, two down. Hey,
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 11: Marathon knows that fans are the true co-pilot of any team. Marathon,
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 11: here to keep you and your team fueled up all
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 11: season long. Marathon, driven together. Now two up, two down
• 2:34:10
  Speaker 11: for the White Sox and their number nine hitter, Jacob Gonzalez,
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 11: will step in. He flied to right first time up.
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch, and it's swung on, fouled back just
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 11: under our location.
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 4: One above us, one below us.
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 11: Zeroing in. What was the toughest part about the switch
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 11: from outfield to second?
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 4: It's a completely different game. When you're in the outfield,
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 4: the whole game's kind of in front of you. When
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 4: you move to the infield, you're surrounded by the game.
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 4: There's always a place to be. There's more sprint work,
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 4: I think, in the outfield.
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 11: The 0-1, swung on, fouled back again.
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 4: They're trying to get us one. I think you're a
• 2:34:52
  Speaker 4: little bit more quick first step shift. You're in the infield.
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 4: Have to have a little bit better hands. There's not
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 4: really bad hops from fly balls, as they say. And
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 4: so I'm sure there's some Cleveland people that know or
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 4: think that I could have been maybe a smoother infielder
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 4: at times. I didn't really care as long as the
• 2:35:09
  Speaker 4: play was made.
• 2:35:09
  Speaker 11: 0-2 is yanked foul past the first base dugout.
• 2:35:13
  Speaker 4: I didn't really care how it looked as long as
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 4: the guy was out. I don't... Yeah, I just didn't
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 4: care as long as the play was made.
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 11: Well, I'm going to say nine years doing that. Surely
• 2:35:31
  Speaker 11: if it wasn't going well, they might have done something
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 11: before that. Here comes the 0-2 pitch to Gonzalez. Swing
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 11: and a foul tip.
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 4: That's why I mean there's these kids who are flashy
• 2:35:44
  Speaker 4: nowadays or add stuff. And I say you want to
• 2:35:49
  Speaker 4: look the coolest up in the big leagues, make the play.
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 4: That's how you're going to look the coolest. Get the out.
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 4: Don't add a glove flip here or something like that.
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 4: Don't make an easy play harder by trying to increase
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 4: the difficulty.
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 11: Diby with the 0-2 delivery. Swung on, and there's a
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 11: high fly ball just to the left of center. Moving over,
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 11: the center fielder Kwon, and he makes the catch to
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 11: retire Gonzalez. And the White Sox in the fifth through five,
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 11: still scoreless on the south side of Chicago.
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 14: Hey, it's Ron Furb. I'm not holding back.
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 11: Ever.
• 2:36:28
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 2:36:35
  Speaker 11: No score in Chicago. We're underway in the sixth inning
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 11: as Brian Rocchio shows bunt. Takes a pitch outside for
• 2:36:42
  Speaker 11: ball one. Eric Fetty throwing well for the Sox. Tanner Bybee,
• 2:36:47
  Speaker 11: terrific for the Guardians. Here's Fetty's 1-0 to Rocchio. He
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 11: swings and fouls it back. And quickly it's 1-1 on
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 11: Brian Rocchio. And Bridge Gas Ohio wants to remind you,
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 11: whether you're an individual or a contractor, state law requires
• 2:37:03
  Speaker 11: you call 8-1-1 before you dig to have underground utilities marked.
• 2:37:08
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch to Rocchio, and he swings and lines
• 2:37:10
  Speaker 11: it to right field. That'll get down for a base hit.
• 2:37:13
  Speaker 11: And Rocchio's aboard with a leadoff single.
• 2:37:17
  Speaker 4: The last couple of the hits have been on Fetty's changeup.
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 4: I think that's the pitch. He kind of can locate
• 2:37:22
  Speaker 4: it for a strike on the outside and then in
• 2:37:23
  Speaker 4: the middle of the at-bat when it's already kind of
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 4: two or three pitches into the at-bat, the change-ups are
• 2:37:27
  Speaker 4: getting too much of the plate and guys are staying
• 2:37:29
  Speaker 4: through the base.
• 2:37:31
  Speaker 11: Now David Frey. Guardians trying to snap this scoreless tie.
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 11: Get out of here with a win after dropping the
• 2:37:38
  Speaker 11: first two. Close games, one-run games. Here's the pitch. On
• 2:37:43
  Speaker 11: the inside corner for a strike. Frey today. Pass flied
• 2:37:48
  Speaker 11: to right, bounced to short. Right-handed hitter. Fetty, the right-hander,
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 11: working from the stretch now with Rokio at first. Here's
• 2:38:00
  Speaker 11: the pitch. There's a strike on the outside corner, and
• 2:38:03
  Speaker 11: quickly it's 0-2 on Frye.
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 4: 0-2 the count on Frye.
• 2:38:17
  Speaker 11: Here it comes. Swung on, lined to short, and bobbled
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 11: by Montgomery. He'll have no play.
• 2:38:24
  Speaker 4: Ooh, man, we will take that right now. Hard hit
• 2:38:27
  Speaker 4: ball by Fry into the sixth hole. Montgomery was there
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 4: with only one step to his right. I think he
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 4: thought he had to rush a little bit more than
• 2:38:33
  Speaker 4: he did because he kind of bobbled the transfer out
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 4: when he had more time. He could have taken his time,
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 4: planted his feet, because Fry's not the fastest of runners.
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 4: He just bobbled the transfer. Now we got first and
• 2:38:44
  Speaker 4: second because of it, and hopefully something brewing here.
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 11: Up to the plate, Kyle Manzardo. As the Guardians go
• 2:38:55
  Speaker 11: with a pinch runner and Petey Halpin at first base.
• 2:38:58
  Speaker 11: So Fry's day is done after he reaches. And now
• 2:39:02
  Speaker 11: the speedy Petey Halpin checks in at first with Rocchio
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 11: at second.
• 2:39:06
  Speaker 4: You don't see too many Petey's.
• 2:39:09
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch to Manzardo. And it's on the inside
• 2:39:12
  Speaker 11: corner for a strike.
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't hate it. I like it. Petey
• 2:39:17
  Speaker 4: helping kind of rolls off the tongue well.
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 11: It does. Peter, Pete.
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 4: Not too many adult Petey's.
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 11: Here's the 0-1.
• 2:39:31
  Speaker 4: Up and in.
• 2:39:33
  Speaker 11: And it's 1-1. And it kind of goes together with,
• 2:39:37
  Speaker 11: he's got great speed, so speedy Petey helping. Speedy Petey. Yeah.
• 2:39:42
  Speaker 11: He's in there now as a pinch runner.
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 4: Did you come up with that?
• 2:39:47
  Speaker 11: It's the 1-1. In tight, 2-1. I feel like it's
• 2:39:52
  Speaker 11: out there somewhere else, too, probably. Are you putting it
• 2:39:54
  Speaker 11: out there?
• 2:40:00
  Speaker 10: No.
• 2:40:00
  Speaker 11: 2-1 to count. Here's the pitch. Outside and low for
• 2:40:08
  Speaker 11: ball three.
• 2:40:08
  Speaker 4: Okay, big pitch here.
• 2:40:13
  Speaker 11: Now, Fetty... He's been on since the second in a
• 2:40:17
  Speaker 11: lot of his appearances. And again, he's mainly a starter,
• 2:40:21
  Speaker 11: but they've used an opener on a regular basis for him,
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 11: especially lately. Here's the 3-1. Outside. Ball four. A check
• 2:40:33
  Speaker 11: swing for Manzardo. And that'll load him up for Reese Hoskins.
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 11: Nobody out in the innings. And this is where, if
• 2:40:47
  Speaker 11: you were the Guardians, the White Sox committed an error.
• 2:40:51
  Speaker 11: And for both of these teams, the way these games
• 2:40:54
  Speaker 11: have been played in this series, they have to play
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 11: good defense. Can they take advantage of a miscube?
• 2:40:59
  Speaker 4: Well, it's almost two separate sentences. You have to play
• 2:41:02
  Speaker 4: good defense, and then can you take advantage of the
• 2:41:05
  Speaker 4: miscues or advantage of when you have guys on base?
• 2:41:07
  Speaker 11: The pitch to Hoskins. In tight ball one.
• 2:41:10
  Speaker 4: I think that's been kind of Cleveland's demise a little
• 2:41:12
  Speaker 4: bit is they've gotten some guys on base but haven't
• 2:41:14
  Speaker 4: quite had the chance to get that hit across or
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 4: that hit that kind of just loops in and puts
• 2:41:20
  Speaker 4: up a crooked number. But we'd love one here. This
• 2:41:21
  Speaker 4: is the inning now.
• 2:41:24
  Speaker 3: A 1-0.
• 2:41:26
  Speaker 11: Down low, 2-0. Good patience by Hoskins.
• 2:41:30
  Speaker 4: You see Fetty kind of aiming. He's not liking this
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 4: traffic right now. He's starting to get a little bit
• 2:41:34
  Speaker 4: too precise with his pitches instead of just throwing it.
• 2:41:38
  Speaker 4: He's trying to be too careful.
• 2:41:43
  Speaker 11: White Sox have action in their bullpen. A lefty is
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 11: starting to heat it up, but it's Fetty's game right now.
• 2:41:51
  Speaker 4: Let's make it Reese's game right now.
• 2:41:56
  Speaker 11: 2-0 the count on Hoskins. Here's the pitch. In there
• 2:42:00
  Speaker 11: for a strike on the inside corner.
• 2:42:03
  Speaker 4: That's fine looking fastball. Got a little sweeper there for
• 2:42:06
  Speaker 4: the 2-0. Not the one you want.
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 11: The left hander in the pen is Brandon Isert. Heating
• 2:42:14
  Speaker 11: it up. 2-1 the count on Hoskins. The pitch to him.
• 2:42:20
  Speaker 11: Swing and a miss. High fastball. He swung under it.
• 2:42:26
  Speaker 4: See, you've got to pick one. If you're going to
• 2:42:27
  Speaker 4: take that slider on the 2-0, that tells me you're
• 2:42:29
  Speaker 4: looking fastball. And then he just got fastball. It was
• 2:42:31
  Speaker 4: a little up, but not way up in the zone.
• 2:42:33
  Speaker 4: He'd like him to be more ready than if he
• 2:42:36
  Speaker 4: is looking fastball. But here we go.
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 11: The 2-2. Down low. Ball three. He laid off.
• 2:42:44
  Speaker 4: Good take right there. That was definitely a pitcher's pitch
• 2:42:46
  Speaker 4: right there. I would have swung. Good take by Reese
• 2:42:50
  Speaker 4: right there. Full count. Stick to that zone. You just worked.
• 2:42:55
  Speaker 11: Big pitch in this game with the bases loaded, nobody out.
• 2:43:00
  Speaker 11: The 3-2 swing and a miss, strike three. That's frustrating.
• 2:43:07
  Speaker 4: Had a couple good pitches to hit in that at
• 2:43:08
  Speaker 4: bat and didn't really put them in play, so that's
• 2:43:10
  Speaker 4: got to be frustrating, but still got bases loaded, only
• 2:43:12
  Speaker 4: one out. That pitch was not a pitcher's pitch. I
• 2:43:15
  Speaker 4: think Fetty, if you asked him, it's not where he
• 2:43:16
  Speaker 4: wanted to throw it. That's right over the middle of
• 2:43:18
  Speaker 4: the plate. Reese just kind of swung under it and
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 4: maybe tried to do too much with that pitch.
• 2:43:24
  Speaker 11: Khalil Watson will step in. Watson with a walk and
• 2:43:28
  Speaker 11: a fly ball to center. Has swung the bat extremely
• 2:43:32
  Speaker 11: well the last two games. A rookie in his first
• 2:43:37
  Speaker 11: week in the major leagues. Here's the pitch to him.
• 2:43:41
  Speaker 11: Fastball strike on the outside corner.
• 2:43:45
  Speaker 4: That's fine, not you. Cutter on the outside, up and away.
• 2:43:49
  Speaker 4: Unless you're looking out over the plate like that. way
• 2:43:52
  Speaker 4: out over the plate like that. That's not your pitch yet.
• 2:43:55
  Speaker 4: I might expand the zone a little bit here. and
• 2:43:58
  Speaker 4: just widen what I'm swinging at.
• 2:44:00
  Speaker 11: The 0-1. Swung on line, left field, base hit. One
• 2:44:04
  Speaker 11: run is in. They're going to wave Halpin around. Here's
• 2:44:07
  Speaker 11: the throw, and it pops free at home plate. Halpin
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 11: is safe on his way to third, and in safely
• 2:44:14
  Speaker 11: with a slide is Manzardo, and a double, actually a
• 2:44:18
  Speaker 11: single driving in two runs for Khalil Watson, who ends
• 2:44:22
  Speaker 11: up at second base.
• 2:44:24
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, he's only got a couple
• 2:44:26
  Speaker 4: hits under his belt, but Watson's the guy I want
• 2:44:28
  Speaker 4: at the plate right now. He's had the most confident swings.
• 2:44:30
  Speaker 4: And when I said expand his zone a little bit,
• 2:44:32
  Speaker 4: it's exactly what he did. Another curveball, but it was
• 2:44:35
  Speaker 4: something out over the plate. Kind of a little bit
• 2:44:39
  Speaker 4: of a bend, a little bit more bend than the
• 2:44:41
  Speaker 4: first pitch of that at bat already. But all the
• 2:44:44
  Speaker 4: runners read it well. Everyone's advancing on the throw. Long
• 2:44:47
  Speaker 4: throw for the center fielder to come into. The catcher
• 2:44:49
  Speaker 4: couldn't handle the hop. Head first slide into home, and
• 2:44:52
  Speaker 4: we're up 2-0 now.
• 2:44:55
  Speaker 11: The Guardians break the scoreless tie. The rookie, Khalil Watson,
• 2:45:00
  Speaker 11: becoming a force in a lineup that is looking for
• 2:45:04
  Speaker 11: a bat that can get hot. And Watson has been
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 11: the last two games. Comes up big here, and it's
• 2:45:10
  Speaker 11: a pitching change for the White Sox as they go
• 2:45:12
  Speaker 11: to their bullpen. We'll take a timeout. 2-0 Cleveland in front.
• 2:45:16

  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Burb, and my show is all about
• 2:46:50
  Speaker 1: the Valley.
• 2:46:51
  Speaker 14: Tomorrow afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 11: Brandon Isert, the left-hander, is on the pitch for the
• 2:47:00
  Speaker 11: White Sox. Guardians have two runs in. Runners at second
• 2:47:03
  Speaker 11: and third infield in for Daniel Schneeman as the left-hander
• 2:47:07
  Speaker 11: hitting outfielder and sometimes infielder. Third base today looks at
• 2:47:12
  Speaker 11: a pitch up high for a ball, and the count's
• 2:47:14
  Speaker 11: 1-1 on Schneeman. Now, Leo Watson. with a two-run single.
• 2:47:22
  Speaker 11: Plates the runs. He's now at second. Here's the pitch.
• 2:47:26
  Speaker 11: Swing and a miss. 1-2 the count on Schneeman.
• 2:47:29
  Speaker 4: And a good move by Vogt. Bringing in Speedy Petey there.
• 2:47:32
  Speaker 4: Put the pressure on that. Scoring second run right there.
• 2:47:34
  Speaker 4: Big second run.
• 2:47:36
  Speaker 11: David Fry had reached on an error. Petey Halpin, pinch ran,
• 2:47:40
  Speaker 11: and he's able to score on a close play at
• 2:47:42
  Speaker 11: home plate.
• 2:47:43
  Speaker 4: Pushing the right buttons.
• 2:47:45
  Speaker 11: Here's the 1-2. Swung on, fouled off. We kind of
• 2:47:51
  Speaker 11: mentioned it early that if you're on the bench, be
• 2:47:54
  Speaker 11: ready because they have been using everybody on the bench
• 2:47:58
  Speaker 11: almost every night.
• 2:47:59
  Speaker 4: Well, that always applies, especially, but there's always, you're accustomed
• 2:48:03
  Speaker 4: maybe to your roles, but in lineups like this where
• 2:48:04
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of mix and match and you're always ready.
• 2:48:07
  Speaker 11: The one, two, swing, and a miss, strike three. Schneeman
• 2:48:10
  Speaker 11: down on strikes. Two down.
• 2:48:15
  Speaker 4: That's tough. Left on left right there. You're trying so
• 2:48:17
  Speaker 4: hard just to put it in play because you know
• 2:48:19
  Speaker 4: you just need, that's all you need to do to
• 2:48:20
  Speaker 4: get that run in that maybe you chase a pitch
• 2:48:22
  Speaker 4: you're not normally going to swing at. This is off
• 2:48:24
  Speaker 4: the plate a little bit. That's kind of where you
• 2:48:27
  Speaker 4: have to tone down what you want to do, because
• 2:48:29
  Speaker 4: what you want to do is obviously have success right
• 2:48:31
  Speaker 4: there and get the guy in, but it's going to
• 2:48:33
  Speaker 4: lead you to maybe some bad haps or swing at
• 2:48:35
  Speaker 4: some bad pitches.
• 2:48:36
  Speaker 11: Here's Patrick Bailey, the pitch to him. On the inside
• 2:48:40
  Speaker 11: corner for his strike. Bailey a switch hitter, so he
• 2:48:42
  Speaker 11: can turn around and bat from the right side now.
• 2:48:46
  Speaker 11: He's 0 for 2, could be 1 for 2, but
• 2:48:48
  Speaker 11: Miguel Vargas at third base made a terrific play in
• 2:48:52
  Speaker 11: Bailey's last at-bat.
• 2:48:54
  Speaker 4: Here's the 0-1.
• 2:48:56
  Speaker 11: Way upstairs for ball.
• 2:48:59
  Speaker 4: One.
• 2:49:00
  Speaker 11: 2-0 Cleveland. They've taken the lead here in the sixth.
• 2:49:02
  Speaker 4: About one more knock right here. Not too much to ask.
• 2:49:08
  Speaker 11: A little breathing room to Tanner Bobby.
• 2:49:10
  Speaker 4: A little breathing room.
• 2:49:14
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 1-1 to Bailey. Swung on and fouled
• 2:49:18
  Speaker 11: off at home plate. 1-2 the count on the Guardians catcher.
• 2:49:26
  Speaker 11: Been a hot hitter lately. Batting well over 300 the
• 2:49:30
  Speaker 11: last week of games.
• 2:49:34
  Speaker 4: You hope this guy's got a 90 RA in June almost.
• 2:49:38
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 2:49:38
  Speaker 11: The one to the way upstairs ball.
• 2:49:42
  Speaker 4: To not competitive pitches right there. You might get something
• 2:49:48
  Speaker 4: out of it by changing the eye level a little bit,
• 2:49:50
  Speaker 4: but that's because he's staring up at the sky looking
• 2:49:52
  Speaker 4: at the Tetris to jump for that ball. Reset the eyes.
• 2:50:00
  Speaker 11: Here's the 2-2. Swing and a miss, strike three. Bailey
• 2:50:04
  Speaker 11: strikes outside, is retired, but the Guardians take the lead
• 2:50:08
  Speaker 11: on the two-run single from Khalil Watson. We head to
• 2:50:11
  Speaker 11: the bottom of the sixth. Cleveland 2, Chicago nothing.

  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Verb. I'm saying what everyone else won't.
• 2:52:03
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 2:52:13
  Speaker 11: Big inning for Tanner Bybee, the sixth. He has a
• 2:52:15
  Speaker 11: two-run lead now, and he's facing the top of the
• 2:52:18
  Speaker 11: White Sox lineup third time through. Here's the pitch. Sam
• 2:52:23
  Speaker 11: Antonacci takes a strike on the outside corner. Antonacci today,
• 2:52:28
  Speaker 11: one for two with a single. His last time up
• 2:52:31
  Speaker 11: in the third inning. Only three hits allowed by Bybee.
• 2:52:37
  Speaker 11: Here's his pitch. Low and outside for a ball one
• 2:52:41
  Speaker 11: and one.
• 2:52:43
  Speaker 4: Always a big shutdown after you score late in the
• 2:52:45
  Speaker 4: game like this.
• 2:52:53
  Speaker 11: And Bybee lets it fly. And it's swung on. Popped
• 2:52:57
  Speaker 11: him up. Powell, third base side, now to play. Bobby
• 2:53:01
  Speaker 11: at 77 pitches, by the way, and again, he's getting
• 2:53:04
  Speaker 11: the game deep, and he has done that consistently most
• 2:53:08
  Speaker 11: of the season, especially lately. Trying to be that stopper
• 2:53:17
  Speaker 11: for the Guardians. They have dropped three in a row,
• 2:53:22
  Speaker 11: including the first two in this series. Here's the one-two,
• 2:53:26
  Speaker 11: swung on, ground ball to second. Grabbed by Pisano. Goes
• 2:53:30
  Speaker 11: to first. In time for the out.
• 2:53:33
  Speaker 4: Hard hit ball. Drops down to a knee. Block it up.
• 2:53:35
  Speaker 4: Like a little goalie right there. That's the benefit of
• 2:53:37
  Speaker 4: playing second base with a shorter throw. You've got more
• 2:53:39
  Speaker 4: time to do stuff like that. Bobby's been good all night.
• 2:53:42
  Speaker 4: All day. Or afternoon. However you want to call it.
• 2:53:45
  Speaker 11: It's almost night.
• 2:53:46
  Speaker 4: Almost night.
• 2:53:47
  Speaker 11: We're getting there.
• 2:53:48
  Speaker 4: Let's just have him keep going until maybe he hands
• 2:53:50
  Speaker 4: the ball off to Cade. I'd like Cade to get
• 2:53:52
  Speaker 4: another crack at these guys. I'm sure he would too.
• 2:53:54
  Speaker 11: Miguel Vargas, the batter. A walk and a single in
• 2:53:58
  Speaker 11: two trips. Homered last night to win the game, basically.
• 2:54:02
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch. And it's on the outside corner for
• 2:54:05
  Speaker 11: a strike. His home run in the sixth inning snapped
• 2:54:08
  Speaker 11: a one-all tie, and that was it. Two to one
• 2:54:11
  Speaker 11: was the final. 17 bombs on the year for Miguel Vargas.
• 2:54:18
  Speaker 11: The 0-1. Fastball just missed inside. One and one. The
• 2:54:25
  Speaker 11: Toyota Highlander has plenty of room and comfort connectivity for
• 2:54:28
  Speaker 11: all your devices and the most advanced safety features. All standard.
• 2:54:33
  Speaker 11: Check it out at Toyota.com. Here's the 1-1. Swung on.
• 2:54:39
  Speaker 11: Lined on one hop to the shortstop, Rokio. Fields and
• 2:54:43
  Speaker 11: fires low. Good scoop by Manzardo. In time for the out.
• 2:54:48
  Speaker 4: Had some real nice picks from first basemen this series.
• 2:54:52
  Speaker 4: Manzardo and Hoskins have Had some real nice scoops over
• 2:54:55
  Speaker 4: there today.
• 2:54:56
  Speaker 11: Two up, two down. Andrew Benintendi will step in. Guardians
• 2:55:02
  Speaker 11: with a 2-0 lead. Don't forget, pick up the Guardians
• 2:55:06
  Speaker 11: Dollar Bank debit card and score exclusive perks like savings
• 2:55:10
  Speaker 11: at the Guardians team store. Check it out at dollar.bank.com.
• 2:55:15
  Speaker 11: Benintendi swings and misses. Strike one. He's lined into a
• 2:55:20
  Speaker 11: double play and bounced into a fielder's choice in two trips.
• 2:55:27
  Speaker 11: Here's the 0-1 from Tanner Bybee. Just missed outside for
• 2:55:32
  Speaker 11: a ball. Bybee trying to get through this sixth with
• 2:55:38
  Speaker 11: a low pitch count and earn the seventh if he can.
• 2:55:46
  Speaker 11: Here's the 1-1 pitch. Up high for a ball. 2-1.
• 2:55:49
  Speaker 11: And you love Bobby's outlook. He was pulled in the
• 2:55:53
  Speaker 11: sixth inning in his last start in Houston. And then
• 2:55:55
  Speaker 11: the game got away. And he said, look, I'd throw
• 2:55:59
  Speaker 11: 150 pitches a night if it was up to me.
• 2:56:02
  Speaker 11: But that's not smart. And that's why he relies on
• 2:56:05
  Speaker 11: Steven Vogt to get him out of there.
• 2:56:07
  Speaker 2: The 2-1.
• 2:56:08
  Speaker 11: A check swing bouncer foul over to the third base side.
• 2:56:11
  Speaker 4: No one said us athletes were the smartest.
• 2:56:14
  Speaker 11: Competitive-wise, you want that.
• 2:56:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes. But we might get in our own way, though.
• 2:56:18
  Speaker 4: That's why we have to be kind of told no at.
• 2:56:20
  Speaker 19: Times, too.
• 2:56:20
  Speaker 4: Because there's times, even if you've got a lingering injury
• 2:56:24
  Speaker 4: or anything like that, we're going to tell you that
• 2:56:26
  Speaker 4: we're going to play and we're going to go until
• 2:56:28
  Speaker 4: the wheels fall off.
• 2:56:31
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 2-2 from Bybee. Swung on, blasted foul,
• 2:56:36
  Speaker 11: right side, and out of play.
• 2:56:37
  Speaker 4: I just think as athletes, we get so caught up
• 2:56:39
  Speaker 4: in the moment and the adrenaline and the competitive factor,
• 2:56:42
  Speaker 4: like you said, that we forget there's a game the
• 2:56:45
  Speaker 4: next day or there's another start after that that we
• 2:56:47
  Speaker 4: don't always think ahead to how our body's going to feel.
• 2:56:50
  Speaker 4: We always just know, I can handle it right now,
• 2:56:52
  Speaker 4: so I should be fine. That's not always the case
• 2:56:54
  Speaker 4: because your body's going to react different to it.
• 2:56:56
  Speaker 11: The 2-2, swung on, popped him up, foul again, this
• 2:56:59
  Speaker 11: time off to the third base side.
• 2:57:01
  Speaker 4: To 90 pitches or 130 pitches. But that's where good
• 2:57:07
  Speaker 4: managers come into position. That's where they push and push.
• 2:57:10
  Speaker 4: and pull the right strings or push the right buttons,
• 2:57:11
  Speaker 4: whatever analogy you want to use, cliche you want to use.
• 2:57:16
  Speaker 11: Now the 2-2. Strike three. Poured it right in there.
• 2:57:22
  Speaker 11: Bybee with the strikeout. And there's the shutdown inning after
• 2:57:25
  Speaker 11: the Guardians.
• 2:57:26
  Speaker 4: Let's go hit again.
• 2:57:27
  Speaker 11: Score two in the top of the sixth. They head
• 2:57:29
  Speaker 11: to the seventh And it is 2-0 Cleveland.
• 2:57:32
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Burb, and I'm taking on the stories
• 2:57:36
  Speaker 1: that actually matter. Tomorrow afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 2:57:45
  Speaker 11: Stephen Kwan gets it started for the Guardians in the 7th,
• 2:57:48
  Speaker 11: and he takes a pitch outside from Brandon Isert, who
• 2:57:51
  Speaker 11: came on last inning, recorded the final two outs in
• 2:57:54
  Speaker 11: the 6th. After the Guardians had broken through against Eric Fetty,
• 2:57:59
  Speaker 11: it's 2-0 Cleveland. The pitch to Kwon. Swing and a miss.
• 2:58:03
  Speaker 11: One and one to count. Kwon is two for two today.
• 2:58:06
  Speaker 11: A couple of singles.
• 2:58:10
  Speaker 4: Good looking singles. Vintage Kwon singles.
• 2:58:13
  Speaker 11: Now trying to hang in against a tough lefty. Isert
• 2:58:17
  Speaker 11: delivers and it's up high for a ball. Two and one.
• 2:58:21
  Speaker 11: Get to the out of town scoreboard this half inning.
• 2:58:23
  Speaker 11: Presented by your Northeast Ohio Ford dealers. A light slate
• 2:58:28
  Speaker 11: today of of day games here's the bench quad swings
• 2:58:34
  Speaker 11: and misses to even the count at two and two
• 2:58:37
  Speaker 11: but with that rain delay some of the night games
• 2:58:39
  Speaker 11: getting started in the eastern time zone but day baseball

  Speaker 11: two that's the only other day game today The 2-2.
• 2:58:53
  Speaker 11: Swung on. Ground ball slowly hit to the first baseman.

• 2:59:05
  Speaker 11: All the other action just getting going. No scores to report.
• 2:59:09
  Speaker 11: We'll fill you in further on the wrap-up show. Top
• 2:59:13
  Speaker 11: of the lineup now. Travis Pazana 0 for 3. He
• 2:59:17
  Speaker 11: has struck out. Bounced into a fielder's choice and flied
• 2:59:20
  Speaker 11: to right.
• 2:59:22
  Speaker 4: That means he's due.
• 2:59:26
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch to him. In there for strike one.
• 2:59:32
  Speaker 4: Born to be Australia. Have you ever been to Australia?
• 2:59:34
  Speaker 11: No.
• 2:59:35
  Speaker 41: You?
• 2:59:35
  Speaker 4: It's beautiful.
• 2:59:41
  Speaker 11: Here's the 0-1. And it's up high. 1-1. If Pisano
• 2:59:45
  Speaker 11: wasn't playing for the Guardians, he might be working for
• 2:59:48
  Speaker 11: the Australia Chamber of Commerce. Nothing but great things to
• 2:59:53
  Speaker 11: say about his home country. Loves it. Here's the 1-1.
• 2:59:58
  Speaker 11: Swing and a miss. And it's 1-2. And tries to
• 3:00:04
  Speaker 11: get back every offseason, obviously. About as far as you
• 3:00:09
  Speaker 11: have to go.
• 3:00:09
  Speaker 4: Had a very cool trip there. I did New Zealand
• 3:00:13
  Speaker 4: and Australia kind of back-to-back weeks.
• 3:00:15
  Speaker 11: The 1-2 is swung on and missed strike three.
• 3:00:20
  Speaker 4: At dinner at the Sydney Opera House. Did a walk
• 3:00:25
  Speaker 4: through a zoo or like an animal sanctuary. Got to
• 3:00:29
  Speaker 4: pet some kangaroos and feed them and play with some animals.
• 3:00:32
  Speaker 4: That was outstanding.
• 3:00:35
  Speaker 11: Brian Rocchio the batter.
• 3:00:36
  Speaker 4: Did put a snake around my shoulders. Did not enjoy that.
• 3:00:43
  Speaker 11: Here's the pitch to Rocchio on the inside corner for
• 3:00:47
  Speaker 11: a strike. How is the food?
• 3:00:49
  Speaker 4: In Australia. Good enough. There's some really good food, so
• 3:00:52
  Speaker 4: we had some good dinners while we were out there,
• 3:00:53
  Speaker 4: but there's just beautiful landscape around there.
• 3:01:01
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 0-1 to Rocchio. Two down, bases empty.
• 3:01:05
  Speaker 11: And the pitch is up high for a ball.
• 3:01:08
  Speaker 4: They're in New Zealand where I think Lord of the
• 3:01:09
  Speaker 4: Rings was shot, and so it's like that kind of
• 3:01:11
  Speaker 4: gives you a picture of it, and then yeah, but
• 3:01:13
  Speaker 4: there's just some animals and insects in Australia that I
• 3:01:17
  Speaker 4: could do without meeting them.
• 3:01:19
  Speaker 11: The 1-1. Swung on. Tapped foul at home plate. 1-2.
• 3:01:25
  Speaker 4: Have you heard of a Huntsman spider? No. Yeah, you
• 3:01:28
  Speaker 4: don't want to.
• 3:01:29

  Speaker 4: I'm going to show you a picture. I want to
• 3:01:31
  Speaker 4: see if I can get your reaction sound live on
• 3:01:33
  Speaker 4: the air here.
• 3:01:38
  Speaker 11: I'm guessing you ran into one while you were there?
• 3:01:40
  Speaker 4: No, no. I would have either screamed, cried, or kicked
• 3:01:43
  Speaker 4: this thing as hard as I could. Probably all of
• 3:01:45
  Speaker 4: the above.
• 3:01:48
  Speaker 11: Here's the 1-2. Up high.
• 3:01:50
  Speaker 10: 2-2.
• 3:01:52
  Speaker 11: Dangerous if they bite you?
• 3:01:55
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 3:01:55
  Speaker 4: I just don't even have an answer for that. I
• 3:01:57
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 3:02:01
  Speaker 11: Can you go back and find out?
• 3:02:04
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to find the most.
• 3:02:05
  Speaker 11: Here's the 2-2. Rokio swings and pops it up. First
• 3:02:10
  Speaker 11: base side foul ground on the infield. Gonzalez makes a
• 3:02:15
  Speaker 11: basket catch. Not far from the Guardians' dugout. Side retired.

• 3:04:25
  Speaker 11: New pitcher for the Guardians after great work for six
• 3:04:28
  Speaker 11: innings from Tanner Bybee. Left-hander Eric Zebrowski is on the pitch.
• 3:04:32
  Speaker 11: He'll face left-handed hitting Kyle Teal with the Guardians in
• 3:04:36
  Speaker 11: front 2-0. Seventh inning, here's the pitch. And it's in
• 3:04:40
  Speaker 11: there for a strike. Zebrowski just back from the injured list.
• 3:04:45
  Speaker 11: His second appearance after missing a month with an elbow
• 3:04:48
  Speaker 11: issue prior to going on the injured list was absolutely outstanding.
• 3:04:53
  Speaker 11: Here's his 0-1. Swing and a miss. And there's the
• 3:04:56
  Speaker 11: good slider.
• 3:04:57
  Speaker 2: 0-2.
• 3:04:57
  Speaker 11: Well, he can't pitch much better than Tanner Bybee today.
• 3:05:03
  Speaker 11: Six scoreless, three hits, one walk, three strikeouts. Here's Cebrowski's 0-2.
• 3:05:12
  Speaker 11: Down low. Did he check it? He did.
• 3:05:14
  Speaker 4: Are you ready?
• 3:05:17
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:05:17
  Speaker 4: Ready to put it behind us. Normally I can make
• 3:05:20
  Speaker 4: Rosie kind of uncomfortable in his chair because he's nervous
• 3:05:22
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say something wrong on the air, but
• 3:05:24
  Speaker 4: this one is not for me.
• 3:05:26
  Speaker 11: The Huntsman Spider. You ran into that in Australia? Next pitch, outside.
• 3:05:34
  Speaker 4: I would have lit the whole house on fire if
• 3:05:37
  Speaker 4: I would have ran into that.
• 3:05:39
  Speaker 11: Can you imagine getting out of your bed wherever you're
• 3:05:43
  Speaker 11: staying and seeing that on the floor?
• 3:05:45
  Speaker 4: Now you're making me kind of scream in this chair.
• 3:05:48
  Speaker 11: Here's the 2-2. Swung on, line drive, left center, gets
• 3:05:51
  Speaker 11: down for a face hit. Teals aboard with a single
• 3:05:55
  Speaker 11: leading off the seventh.
• 3:05:56
  Speaker 4: All right, the Spiders are bad luck. Back to baseball.
• 3:05:58
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 3:06:01
  Speaker 11: Well, the Guardians' pen has been a bread and butter
• 3:06:06
  Speaker 11: for this team the last three seasons. Occasionally this year,
• 3:06:10
  Speaker 11: there have been some nights where it has struggled. Trying
• 3:06:15
  Speaker 11: to get that bridge to Cade Smith in the ninth inning,
• 3:06:17
  Speaker 11: and Cebrowski... On here in the 7th. Has some work
• 3:06:21
  Speaker 11: to do. Colson Montgomery. Another left-handed batter steps in. The
• 3:06:27
  Speaker 11: pitch to him. Breaking ball outside corner for a strike.
• 3:06:30
  Speaker 4: The curve.
• 3:06:33
  Speaker 11: You go. Overall numbers for Subrowski.
• 3:06:35
  Speaker 37: 2-1.
• 3:06:35
  Speaker 11: His ERA 2.53. 27th appearance. Second since his return. Here's
• 3:06:39
  Speaker 11: the pitch. Swung on, ripped to first.
• 3:06:45
  Speaker 10: Fair ball.
• 3:06:46
  Speaker 11: Down the right field line it goes into the corner.
• 3:06:49
  Speaker 11: On his way to third is Teal. They'll hold him there.
• 3:06:52
  Speaker 11: And Montgomery, as the tying run, chugs into second with
• 3:06:57
  Speaker 11: a double.
• 3:06:59
  Speaker 4: Well i was just about to say this looks like
• 3:07:01
  Speaker 4: with tough left on left matchup that you might want
• 3:07:04
  Speaker 4: to shift over and i started to watch travis shoot
• 3:07:06
  Speaker 4: scoot over and i was going to say for manzardo
• 3:07:09
  Speaker 4: to scoot over down the line too and that's exactly
• 3:07:11
  Speaker 4: where they hit the ball I think with a guy
• 3:07:14
  Speaker 4: who throws that tough of a curveball on lefties, they're
• 3:07:17
  Speaker 4: always going to be out in front. You've got to
• 3:07:19
  Speaker 4: move those right-side infielders over, and that's why I think
• 3:07:21
  Speaker 4: Roque was going to take the turn. I think Manzaro
• 3:07:24
  Speaker 4: could have maybe been a step over and blocked that
• 3:07:26
  Speaker 4: line a little bit to almost get a no-doubles play,
• 3:07:28
  Speaker 4: but squeezed it past him down the line right there,
• 3:07:30
  Speaker 4: and they've got something brewing here.
• 3:07:32
  Speaker 11: Carl Willis out to the mound. The Guardians pitching coach
• 3:07:35
  Speaker 11: to have a chat with Zebrowski. And we have a
• 3:07:38
  Speaker 11: moment for our message from the Cleveland Clinic. Brain health
• 3:07:41
  Speaker 11: matters as much as physical health. Keep your brain in
• 3:07:45
  Speaker 11: the game with physical activity, healthy habits, and trusted care
• 3:07:49
  Speaker 11: from Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute. Mound meeting complete. 2-0 Guardians,
• 3:07:58
  Speaker 11: but the White Sox masters of the late game comebacks
• 3:08:03
  Speaker 11: here at Raitt Field in Chicago. Trying to produce another
• 3:08:09
  Speaker 11: one as they get it rolling here in the seventh.
• 3:08:11
  Speaker 11: Chase Mydroth will step in. Infield in at the corners.
• 3:08:18
  Speaker 11: Back up the middle. Here's the pitch. Swung on, fouled
• 3:08:22
  Speaker 11: back for strike one. And again, you always wonder, Saprowski
• 3:08:27
  Speaker 11: was in such a good role before the injury. And
• 3:08:33
  Speaker 11: a month down, how will he come back? When he returns,
• 3:08:36
  Speaker 11: gave up some runs the other night in Houston in
• 3:08:38
  Speaker 11: his first game back. Here's the 0-1. Down low, 1-1.
• 3:08:46
  Speaker 11: Third of an inning against Houston allowed two runs on
• 3:08:49
  Speaker 11: a walk and a hit.
• 3:08:51
  Speaker 4: In a low-scoring game, this isn't the point where you
• 3:08:54
  Speaker 4: trade a run for an out. Defense needs to block
• 3:08:56
  Speaker 4: the ball up. Nothing can get by you. Even if
• 3:08:59
  Speaker 4: you can't make the out at first base, you knock
• 3:09:01
  Speaker 4: it down.
• 3:09:01
  Speaker 11: The 1-1, swung on, bounced foul outside of third. Still
• 3:09:10
  Speaker 11: 2-0 Guardians. But the Sox threatening in the bottom half
• 3:09:15
  Speaker 11: of the seventh inning. My drop is one for two.
• 3:09:18
  Speaker 11: He's singled back in the second. Here's the one-two. Called
• 3:09:25
  Speaker 11: strike three. Poured the fastball right in there. Big strikeout.
• 3:09:30
  Speaker 4: Huge strikeout right there. Now that gives Vogt some options.
• 3:09:34
  Speaker 4: You can be a little bit more careful with Montgomery
• 3:09:36
  Speaker 4: coming up as a righty. You got a lefty on deck.
• 3:09:41
  Speaker 4: You could put him on, but you just be very
• 3:09:43
  Speaker 4: careful with him. Either way, anything you want to do here.
• 3:09:47
  Speaker 4: But that was a huge strikeout to get back into
• 3:09:48
  Speaker 4: this inning.
• 3:09:49
  Speaker 11: Braden Montgomery, 0 for 2. The pitch to him. Outside
• 3:09:53
  Speaker 11: for ball one. Montgomery, the switch hitter. First two at-bats
• 3:10:00
  Speaker 11: came from the left side against Tanner Bybee. Now digs
• 3:10:04
  Speaker 11: in as a right-handed hitter. Facing Zebrowski. Second and third.
• 3:10:09
  Speaker 11: One out. The pitch. Swung on. Popped him up. Right side.
• 3:10:13
  Speaker 11: This is foul and out of play.
• 3:10:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 3:10:18
  Speaker 4: The kid just missed the foul ball and hit his
• 3:10:20
  Speaker 4: mom in the knee because of it. You've got to
• 3:10:23
  Speaker 4: block it up. You've got to protect mama.
• 3:10:32
  Speaker 11: One and one to count on Montgomery. In the very
• 3:10:38
  Speaker 11: early stages of his major league career. The 1-1 pitch.
• 3:10:43
  Speaker 11: Swing and a miss. Good heat upstairs.
• 3:10:46
  Speaker 4: Good location with that fastball right there. Now you've challenged
• 3:10:50
  Speaker 4: him at both levels of the zone, top and bottom,
• 3:10:52
  Speaker 4: so you've got both to go to right now.
• 3:10:54
  Speaker 11: And the velocities there at 95, and some deception, too,
• 3:10:58
  Speaker 11: from Sabrowski.
• 3:10:59
  Speaker 4: Little cloud cover, so you don't have much shadows to
• 3:11:01
  Speaker 4: worry about, too, as a hitter. The 1-2, swung on,
• 3:11:04
  Speaker 4: and there's a high fly ball to center. Settling under
• 3:11:08
  Speaker 4: it is Halpin, and Halpin makes the catch. He'll throw
• 3:11:13
  Speaker 4: to third. Scoring on the tag play is Teal, and
• 3:11:17
  Speaker 4: the Sox are on the board. But remaining at second
• 3:11:21
  Speaker 4: is Montgomery. 2-1 now, Cleveland in front. Well, I was
• 3:11:26
  Speaker 4: hoping it wasn't deep enough that they'd have a play
• 3:11:28
  Speaker 4: to play, but smart play to go to third. Just
• 3:11:30
  Speaker 4: a high fly ball. Hard to really get behind it
• 3:11:32
  Speaker 4: and get a throw on it to go home with. So,
• 3:11:34
  Speaker 4: smart play to keep the runner at second. Give your
• 3:11:38
  Speaker 4: defense and your pitcher a chance to still not let
• 3:11:40
  Speaker 4: that run in on a single.
• 3:11:42
  Speaker 11: Here comes Stephen Bode as Colin Holderman up in the pen.
• 3:11:47
  Speaker 11: Tristan Peters is scheduled to bat. And Voter makes the
• 3:11:54
  Speaker 11: move right here to the bullpen. We'll take a timeout.
• 3:11:56
  Speaker 11: 2-1 Cleveland in front, bottom of the seventh.
• 3:11:59
  Speaker 29: Is your roof protecting your home or putting it at risk?

  Speaker 34: Recently, our company's softball team lost the big game by

  Speaker 34: one run. Then Dale tried to console us with the quote,

  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Verb, and I'll be bringing the heat
• 3:13:33
  Speaker 1: every afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 3:13:43
  Speaker 11: Right-hander Colin Holderman has come on to pitch for the Guardians,
• 3:13:47
  Speaker 11: and he will face a pinch hitter. Randall Gritchick on
• 3:13:51
  Speaker 11: to hit. So a right-on-right matchup as the pinch hitter right-handed,
• 3:13:58
  Speaker 11: but that's the way they want to go with it.
• 3:14:01
  Speaker 11: In terms of matchup, Holderman pretty much even lefties, righties.
• 3:14:05
  Speaker 11: No one's hitting him. Gritchick, tremendous as a pinch hitter.
• 3:14:09
  Speaker 11: The pitch to him. Down low, ball one. We saw
• 3:14:13
  Speaker 11: him hit a pinch hit home run here Monday night.
• 3:14:17
  Speaker 11: His third pinch hit home run on the season. And overall,
• 3:14:21
  Speaker 11: Randall Gritchick with eight home runs on the year. Tying
• 3:14:25
  Speaker 11: run at second. Here's the pitch. Down low for a
• 3:14:28
  Speaker 11: ball from Olderman.
• 3:14:29
  Speaker 24: 2-0.
• 3:14:29
  Speaker 11: And it's Colson Montgomery out there at second base. In
• 3:14:35
  Speaker 11: a 2-1 ball game. Bottom of the seventh. Two down
• 3:14:38
  Speaker 11: in the inning. Olderman from the stretch.
• 3:14:44
  Speaker 3: The 2-0.
• 3:14:45
  Speaker 11: Swung on and that's lined. Left center. Over. Diving catch.
• 3:14:50
  Speaker 11: He made the catch. Stephen Kwan. Gold glove caliber play
• 3:14:57
  Speaker 11: in left. Of course.
• 3:15:00
  Speaker 4: I watched. He ran in on the pitching change to
• 3:15:03
  Speaker 4: go get glasses right before this play. And I mean,
• 3:15:06
  Speaker 4: that's your gold glove left fielder right there knowing what
• 3:15:09
  Speaker 4: to do. What a good first step to cut that
• 3:15:11
  Speaker 4: down in the gap. That had double written all over
• 3:15:13
  Speaker 4: it and tie game written all over it. Laquan coming
• 3:15:16
  Speaker 4: up with a huge catch. Heads-up play to go get
• 3:15:18
  Speaker 4: his sunglasses right before that play, too.
• 3:15:21
  Speaker 11: So we head to the eighth. It's still 2-1 Cleveland
• 3:15:25
  Speaker 11: in front.
• 3:15:29
  Speaker 1: It's Ron Ferb, and I've got opinions you'll want to
• 3:15:31
  Speaker 1: hear tomorrow afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN. Some changes
• 3:15:39
  Speaker 1: for the White Sox as we hit the eighth inning.
• 3:15:43
  Speaker 11: On the mound, Joe Rock facing Petey Halpin, who pops
• 3:15:47
  Speaker 11: one above the mound. It drops in front of the
• 3:15:50
  Speaker 11: second base bag, and Halpin's aboard with a bunt base hit.
• 3:15:55
  Speaker 4: I can't tell if that was intentional or lucky. It
• 3:15:58
  Speaker 4: better be lucky than good always, but I think he
• 3:16:01
  Speaker 4: saw he tried to bunt. It was a slider from
• 3:16:03
  Speaker 4: the left. The third baseman was crashing on top of it,
• 3:16:06
  Speaker 4: but he just kind of placed it right over the
• 3:16:08
  Speaker 4: pitcher who had no play on it. Shortstop was way back,
• 3:16:10
  Speaker 4: has no play on it. Perfect location for that punt.
• 3:16:15
  Speaker 11: Now to the plate, Kyle Manzardo. Guardians leading by a
• 3:16:18
  Speaker 11: run here in the eighth inning. The pitch. In tight.
• 3:16:23
  Speaker 11: Ball one. Defensively, staying in the game is Randall Gritchick
• 3:16:27
  Speaker 11: in right field. Braden Montgomery moves over to center. Gritchick,
• 3:16:33
  Speaker 11: a pinch hit for Peters in the bottom of the seventh.
• 3:16:36
  Speaker 11: So Peters out of the game at center. Next pitch,
• 3:16:39
  Speaker 11: down low to Manzardo. 2-0 the count.
• 3:16:44
  Speaker 4: Good start to this inning. I think everyone would feel
• 3:16:46
  Speaker 4: a lot better with another run or two across.
• 3:16:49
  Speaker 11: Especially here. The White Sox have gone lately. Here's the pitch.
• 3:16:57
  Speaker 11: Ball three. Lean them back.
• 3:17:03
  Speaker 10: Rock.
• 3:17:04
  Speaker 11: First time we've seen him in this series. Only his
• 3:17:08
  Speaker 11: fourth appearance. 0-1 in ERA of 3.24.
• 3:17:13
  Speaker 4: Big lefty. Another 6'6 guy.
• 3:17:15
  Speaker 11: Joe Rock. The 3-0 in there for a strike.
• 3:17:19
  Speaker 2: 3-1.
• 3:17:19
  Speaker 11: Sounds like a made-up name.
• 3:17:22
  Speaker 4: Doesn't it?
• 3:17:25
  Speaker 11: Central casting 101. Joe Rock. Here comes the 3-1 to Manzardo.
• 3:17:36
  Speaker 11: Down low, ball four.
• 3:17:38
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:17:40
  Speaker 11: So first and second, nobody out for the Guardians here
• 3:17:43
  Speaker 11: in the eighth.
• 3:17:43
  Speaker 4: For a big lefty to let those first two lefty
• 3:17:46
  Speaker 4: hitters on base. This is a start. Now they're coming
• 3:17:48
  Speaker 4: up to the middle of the order with some righties.
• 3:17:51
  Speaker 4: Exactly what Cleveland needed.
• 3:17:56
  Speaker 11: Rock had been with Tampa Bay and was acquired in
• 3:18:00
  Speaker 11: a minor deal on May the 19th and had been
• 3:18:03
  Speaker 11: pitching at AAA. And the White Sox system just called
• 3:18:07
  Speaker 11: up from Charlotte earlier this month. Mound visit by Kyle
• 3:18:11
  Speaker 11: Teal as Reese Hoskins will be the batter. Let's pause
• 3:18:15
  Speaker 11: 10 seconds. Station ID on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
• 3:18:19
  Speaker 5: From the Money Talks investment coach, John Arnold Studios, this
• 3:18:23
  Speaker 5: is 570 WKBN Youngstown, an iHeartRadio station guaranteed human success.
• 3:18:33
  Speaker 11: There's Hoskins at the plate with runners at first and second.
• 3:18:37
  Speaker 11: Rock delivers. Fastball strike on the inside corner. Jim Rosenhouse
• 3:18:42
  Speaker 11: along with Jason Kipnis. Filling in for Hammy on this
• 3:18:47
  Speaker 11: Chicago portion of the trip. Tom will be back on Friday.
• 3:18:51
  Speaker 11: And the Guardians are back home to take on the
• 3:18:53
  Speaker 11: Seattle Mariners. Dollar Dogs and Fireworks Friday night.
• 3:18:57
  Speaker 4: Filling in Admiral Bleak.
• 3:18:59
  Speaker 11: The 0-1 outside. One and one.
• 3:19:03
  Speaker 4: Your words, not mine. That was your line.
• 3:19:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely. You having fun?
• 3:19:07
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 3:19:08
  Speaker 4: Always have a blast with you. We have a good time. Yes.
• 3:19:15
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 1-1 to Reese Hoskins. Low and inside
• 3:19:23
  Speaker 11: for ball two. Rock is all over the place.
• 3:19:25
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 3:19:25
  Speaker 4: These are competitive pitches that he's missing with right now.
• 3:19:31
  Speaker 11: The early evening shadows now starting to pull over the infield.
• 3:19:36
  Speaker 11: Still lots of sunshine in the outfield, especially left. The 2-1,
• 3:19:41
  Speaker 11: swing and a miss. 2-2 the count.
• 3:19:44
  Speaker 4: Reese seems under a lot of the pitches that he's
• 3:19:46
  Speaker 4: swinging at. I think that's where his bet, every time
• 3:19:49
  Speaker 4: I've seen him swing and miss so far, it's always under,
• 3:19:51
  Speaker 4: it's never on top. I think he just might need
• 3:19:54
  Speaker 4: to shorten up a little bit. It seems like he's
• 3:19:55
  Speaker 4: really trying hard to do damage on all these pitches
• 3:19:58
  Speaker 4: when sometimes he just needs a little bit of a
• 3:19:59
  Speaker 4: more shorter, compact swing.
• 3:20:02
  Speaker 11: Here's the 2-2. Low and in. Did he check it?
• 3:20:06
  Speaker 11: He did. They made the appeal down to first base,
• 3:20:09
  Speaker 11: and Marv Hudson said he checked it.
• 3:20:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, this guy knows how to hit. I'm not
• 3:20:15
  Speaker 4: questioning anything like that. I think just right now that's
• 3:20:17
  Speaker 4: the telltale sign that he's just trying to get the
• 3:20:20
  Speaker 4: ball into the air maybe a little bit too much.
• 3:20:24
  Speaker 11: Payoff pitch coming. Here it is. Swung on, popped him
• 3:20:28
  Speaker 11: up foul back out of play into the upper deck.
• 3:20:32
  Speaker 11: So we'll do it again on 3-2 to Hoskins. Guardians
• 3:20:36
  Speaker 11: up 2-1. We're in the top half of the eighth inning.
• 3:20:39
  Speaker 11: If you're just tuning in, this game delayed by rain
• 3:20:42
  Speaker 11: at the start for 2 hours and 40 minutes. We're
• 3:20:48
  Speaker 11: going to get it in. The 3-2. Swing and a miss.
• 3:20:53
  Speaker 11: Strike three. Hoskins down on strikes for the third time today.
• 3:20:57
  Speaker 4: That was ball 4-2 as well.
• 3:21:02
  Speaker 11: Well, here's Khalil Watson with runners at first and second.
• 3:21:06
  Speaker 11: Watson has had another good day at the plate. It
• 3:21:09
  Speaker 11: was his two-run single in the sixth inning that put
• 3:21:12
  Speaker 11: the Guardians on the board, and they still lead 2-1.
• 3:21:14
  Speaker 11: Prior to that, he had flied to center and walked.
• 3:21:22
  Speaker 11: Left-handed hitter was swinging it well at AAA Columbus. Got
• 3:21:26
  Speaker 11: the call last week. Here's the pitch to him. He
• 3:21:33
  Speaker 11: swings and skies it high in the air to fairly
• 3:21:36
  Speaker 11: deep center. Montgomery, though, circling and makes the catch shy
• 3:21:40
  Speaker 11: of the warning track. Tagging, heading for third, and in
• 3:21:43
  Speaker 11: standing up is Halpin. Remaining at first is Manzardo, and
• 3:21:47
  Speaker 11: now there's two down.
• 3:21:49
  Speaker 4: Well, again, he's putting some confident swings on it. You've
• 3:21:54
  Speaker 4: got to be happy with the way he's gone the
• 3:21:56
  Speaker 4: last couple of games. He really looks like he's starting
• 3:21:58
  Speaker 4: to come into his own Sometimes that's all it takes.
• 3:22:01
  Speaker 4: You just got to see that first one kind of
• 3:22:03
  Speaker 4: get down or get in however it happens. And you
• 3:22:07
  Speaker 4: can kind of just reset and go about your business
• 3:22:10
  Speaker 4: like you're used to. But until you get that first one,
• 3:22:12
  Speaker 4: that's kind of all you're thinking about. But he looks
• 3:22:14
  Speaker 4: a lot more relaxed.
• 3:22:16
  Speaker 11: Now Daniel Schneeman trying to come through with two down.
• 3:22:20
  Speaker 11: Runner at third. Here's the pitch. Low and outside for
• 3:22:24
  Speaker 11: ball one. Facing Joe Rock. Fourth pitcher on the day
• 3:22:31
  Speaker 11: for the White Sox who got it started with an opener,
• 3:22:34
  Speaker 11: Chris Murphy. Inning and a third of hitless baseball for him.
• 3:22:38
  Speaker 11: And the bulk pitcher was Eric Fetty. The 1-0. Down low, 2-0.
• 3:22:45
  Speaker 11: Fetty went four innings, allowed the two runs on five hits.
• 3:22:50
  Speaker 11: And Brandon Isert for an inning and two thirds. Scoreless
• 3:22:53
  Speaker 11: baseball and now Rock here in the eighth.
• 3:22:58
  Speaker 4: He's all over the place. How about a pass ball?
• 3:23:02
  Speaker 4: Left on left. Try throwing those sliders. How about just bouncing?
• 3:23:06
  Speaker 11: The 2-0. Way upstairs and inside for ball three.
• 3:23:14
  Speaker 4: I'm taking here. Got a righty on deck for yourself.
• 3:23:17
  Speaker 4: That's a better matchup. Right on left. So I'm taking one,
• 3:23:20
  Speaker 4: maybe even two. That 3-1 would have to be a
• 3:23:23
  Speaker 4: perfect pitch. The 3-0.
• 3:23:27
  Speaker 11: Outside, ball four, and they're loaded up for Patrick Bailey.
• 3:23:34
  Speaker 11: Couple of walks in the inning, plus a bunt base
• 3:23:36
  Speaker 11: hit to get it started. And the pitching coach, Zach Bove,
• 3:23:39
  Speaker 11: is out to the mound to have a chat with Rock.
• 3:23:49
  Speaker 11: Get to our injury report this half inning, presented by
• 3:23:51
  Speaker 11: Elk & Elk, an official partner of the Guardians. If
• 3:23:54
  Speaker 11: an auto accident, More medical malpractice caused you injury. Call 1-800-ELK-OHIO. And,
• 3:23:59
  Speaker 11: of course, the big three for the Guardians. Jose Ramirez,
• 3:24:02
  Speaker 11: hammy bone surgery. Angel Martinez, broken bone in his foot.
• 3:24:08
  Speaker 11: Both of them four, five, six weeks out. Chase DeLauder
• 3:24:14
  Speaker 11: a little bit closer with that rib injury, maybe. Here's
• 3:24:18
  Speaker 11: the pitch to Bailey. In there for strike one. Guardians
• 3:24:23
  Speaker 11: up 2-1 here in the eighth. Trying to pad that
• 3:24:26
  Speaker 11: lead in a place where they would love to do that.
• 3:24:28
  Speaker 11: And White Sox the masters of the late game comeback
• 3:24:33
  Speaker 11: at home. Here's the 0-1. Down low.
• 3:24:39
  Speaker 4: 1-1.
• 3:24:43
  Speaker 11: Hunter Gaddis is loosening in the Guardian's pen. We'll see
• 3:24:46
  Speaker 11: him in the bottom half of the 8th inning. Now
• 3:24:52
  Speaker 11: Rock's ready. Here's the 0-1, or the 1-1, low and
• 3:24:57
  Speaker 11: in for ball two, 2-1.
• 3:25:01
  Speaker 4: When he's that erratic, you're looking for almost just anything
• 3:25:03
  Speaker 4: over the center of the plate. This guy's not located
• 3:25:06
  Speaker 4: at all. He doesn't seem to have a feel for
• 3:25:07
  Speaker 4: his pitches right now, so it's either nowhere near the
• 3:25:10
  Speaker 4: zone or kind of down the middle. You've got to
• 3:25:13
  Speaker 4: stay patient. You've got to stay disciplined.
• 3:25:17
  Speaker 11: Right here. 2-1 the count. Here's the pitch. Down low,
• 3:25:22
  Speaker 11: ball three. Not even close.
• 3:25:24
  Speaker 4: He's just thrown a couple fastballs all in the dirt.
• 3:25:27
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to a slider
• 3:25:29
  Speaker 4: right here just to give himself a chance to throw
• 3:25:30
  Speaker 4: a strike because he doesn't seem to have that grasp
• 3:25:32
  Speaker 4: on the fastball that's that bad.
• 3:25:36
  Speaker 11: And there is nobody warming up in the Sox pen.
• 3:25:40
  Speaker 4: I'm still looking for somebody over the plate, but I'm
• 3:25:42
  Speaker 4: a little bit more balanced for that off-speed slider here.
• 3:25:45
  Speaker 11: The 3-1. Inside and low. Ball four. A bases-loaded walk.
• 3:25:51
  Speaker 11: Brings Halpin down the line from third, and the Guardians
• 3:25:54
  Speaker 11: add a run. It is now Cleveland three, the White
• 3:25:58
  Speaker 11: Sox one.
• 3:25:58
  Speaker 4: Big run. Big insurance run. Good, patient at bat. The
• 3:26:03
  Speaker 4: guy is that wild right now, and he's throwing, can't
• 3:26:05
  Speaker 4: seem to find a grip on the ball and just
• 3:26:07
  Speaker 4: throwing it all over the place. Do not help him.
• 3:26:11
  Speaker 11: So for Bailey, RBI number 12 on the season. Stephen
• 3:26:14
  Speaker 11: Kwan steps in. The pitch to him. In there for
• 3:26:17
  Speaker 11: a strike. I was just going to say Kwon will
• 3:26:20
  Speaker 11: make him throw a strike, and he did. After three
• 3:26:26
  Speaker 11: walks in the inning. Now the 0-1. Strike two call
• 3:26:32
  Speaker 11: on the inside corner.
• 3:26:33
  Speaker 4: That's the pitch I thought he would have gone with 3-1,
• 3:26:35
  Speaker 4: but it's right over the middle of the plate. Now
• 3:26:37
  Speaker 4: Kwon has seen both, at least for strikes. All this
• 3:26:41
  Speaker 4: is easier said than done, obviously, but don't do too much.
• 3:26:45
  Speaker 4: Stay with this pitch.
• 3:26:47
  Speaker 14: The 0-2.
• 3:26:48
  Speaker 11: Waved at it. Missed strike three. Chased a slider. And
• 3:26:52
  Speaker 11: Kwon strikes out to end the inning, but the Guardians
• 3:26:54
  Speaker 11: had a run.
• 3:26:55
  Speaker 4: Big run.
• 3:26:56
  Speaker 11: We'll head to the ninth, or excuse me, bottom of
• 3:26:57
  Speaker 11: the eighth.
• 3:26:58
  Speaker 3: 3-1.
• 3:27:00
  Speaker 11: Guardians in front.

• 3:28:32
  Speaker 11: Swung on. There's a high fly ball. Launched to right field.
• 3:28:37
  Speaker 11: Home run, Jose Ramirez. This is Jim Rosenhouse, and you
• 3:28:42
  Speaker 11: are listening to the Cleveland Clinic Guardians Radio Network.
• 3:28:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Verb. Real issues, real talk, tomorrow afternoon
• 3:28:52
  Speaker 1: at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 3:28:59
  Speaker 11: New pitcher on for the Guardians. Bottom of the eighth inning.
• 3:29:02
  Speaker 11: It's right-hander Hunter Gattis. Cleveland leading 3-1. White Sox send
• 3:29:08
  Speaker 11: up Jacob Gonzalez, their number nine hitter, who swings and
• 3:29:11
  Speaker 11: blasts a foul out of play. Third base side. A
• 3:29:16
  Speaker 11: little darker again here in Chicago. They said we'd be
• 3:29:22
  Speaker 11: in a window. They didn't say how long it would be. Well,
• 3:29:25
  Speaker 11: we've gotten to the bottom of the eighth. Here's the pitch.
• 3:29:30
  Speaker 11: Swing and a miss. 0-2 the count.
• 3:29:34
  Speaker 4: Now you've got me pulling up the weather app.
• 3:29:36
  Speaker 11: Good work. Our meteorologist, Jason Kipnis, will be checking in momentarily.
• 3:29:43
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 0-2 pitch. Outside and high for a ball.
• 3:29:53
  Speaker 11: We started late due to rain. Two hours and 40
• 3:29:56
  Speaker 11: minutes on the delay.
• 3:30:00
  Speaker 4: It should be OK. It should be just fine.
• 3:30:04
  Speaker 11: Here's the one-two. Swung on. Broken bat. Blooped to shallow right.
• 3:30:09
  Speaker 11: Face hit. Gonzalez aboard with a soft single to right.
• 3:30:15
  Speaker 11: Lead off baserunner for the Sox.
• 3:30:21
  Speaker 4: Well, a slider down and in, but does a good
• 3:30:23
  Speaker 4: job kind of just keeping his hands inside the baseball
• 3:30:25
  Speaker 4: right there as hitting does. Broke his bat, but you
• 3:30:27
  Speaker 4: will always take a good fallen soldier for a bat
• 3:30:30
  Speaker 4: for a base hit. You will always make that trade
• 3:30:31
  Speaker 4: as a hitter.
• 3:30:34
  Speaker 11: Top of the lineup now, Sam Antonacci. And this is
• 3:30:39
  Speaker 11: where it gets dicey. The Sox, so dangerous, especially here
• 3:30:43
  Speaker 11: at home. The pitch, outside and high for ball one.
• 3:30:50
  Speaker 11: Overall at home, they're 26-16. More impressive, the last 26 games,
• 3:30:57
  Speaker 11: they're 22-4. Here comes the 1-0. Swung on, popped up foul,
• 3:31:07
  Speaker 11: back out of play.
• 3:31:08
  Speaker 4: You flinched at that one a little bit. I saw
• 3:31:10
  Speaker 4: the first flinch. There's been closer ones, but that was
• 3:31:12
  Speaker 4: the first flinch. Go ahead. You were about to say something.
• 3:31:19
  Speaker 4: Guilty as charged. Ground ball double play right here.
• 3:31:24
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 3:31:27
  Speaker 4: Here comes the 1-1. Just missed outside.
• 3:31:31
  Speaker 9: 2-1.
• 3:31:33
  Speaker 11: The challenging part about the White Sox at home, they
• 3:31:39
  Speaker 11: have that 22-4 record. They've won 11 of 12 in
• 3:31:40
  Speaker 11: the 22-4 stretch. 5 have been walk-off wins, including here
• 3:31:49
  Speaker 11: on Monday night against Cleveland.
• 3:31:51
  Speaker 4: That's starting something special. We had that back in the day.
• 3:31:54
  Speaker 4: That's that mojo at home that always helps.
• 3:31:56
  Speaker 11: The 2-1, swung on, and he skies it high in
• 3:32:00
  Speaker 11: the air to left. Kwon is under it, and he
• 3:32:02
  Speaker 11: makes the catch. One down. Now Miguel Vargas. Today he's
• 3:32:12
  Speaker 11: one for two with a walk. Having a career year,
• 3:32:18
  Speaker 11: already his career best for home runs in a season
• 3:32:21
  Speaker 11: at 17. He had hit 16 a year ago. So
• 3:32:27
  Speaker 11: a dangerous hitter at the plate as the tying run
• 3:32:29
  Speaker 11: at the plate in a 3-1 game. Guardians in front.
• 3:32:34
  Speaker 11: Gattis with the pitch on the inside corner for a strike.
• 3:32:38
  Speaker 4: Now, these are even more important at-bats right now because
• 3:32:40
  Speaker 4: you want to split up their order. So, I mean,
• 3:32:42
  Speaker 4: they're important already because you're only up two in the
• 3:32:44
  Speaker 4: bottom of the eighth late in the game, but this
• 3:32:46
  Speaker 4: helps break up the order as well. These next two hitters.
• 3:32:51
  Speaker 11: Here's the 0-1. Check swing, bouncer under the glove of
• 3:32:55
  Speaker 11: Gattis at the mound. Picked up by Bozzana, who will
• 3:32:58
  Speaker 11: have no play. All hands are safe, first and second
• 3:33:04
  Speaker 11: for the Sox.
• 3:33:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, an unfortunate roll for the the Guardians right there.
• 3:33:10
  Speaker 4: Off the end of the bat, kind of set him
• 3:33:11
  Speaker 4: up for a double play if Gattis could just field
• 3:33:14
  Speaker 4: it correctly. He kind of falls off towards the first
• 3:33:16
  Speaker 4: base side and had to bend back down for his
• 3:33:18
  Speaker 4: backhand glove side. Couldn't reach all the way down for
• 3:33:21
  Speaker 4: the ball and just trickles along the mound for a single.
• 3:33:25
  Speaker 4: First and second now, one out.
• 3:33:28
  Speaker 11: Andrew Benintendi steps in. The pitch to him. Fastball outside.
• 3:33:33
  Speaker 11: Ball one. Benintendi today 0 for 3.
• 3:33:38
  Speaker 4: It's always better to be lucky than good. My father
• 3:33:42
  Speaker 4: taught me when you're good, things can go wrong.
• 3:33:47
  Speaker 11: Here comes the 1-0 from Gaddis. Swing and a foul
• 3:33:51
  Speaker 11: back into the net.
• 3:33:52
  Speaker 2: 1-1.
• 3:33:53
  Speaker 11: Hunter Gaddis on the season.
• 3:33:58
  Speaker 3: 1-2.
• 3:33:59
  Speaker 11: An ERA of 3.80 over 25 outings. Started late due
• 3:34:08
  Speaker 11: to some forearm soreness in spring training. Here's the 1-1.
• 3:34:15
  Speaker 11: Swung on, ground ball, first base. Up with it, Manzardo.
• 3:34:17
  Speaker 11: It's a second for one. That's all they get as
• 3:34:20
  Speaker 11: Rocchio hangs on to it. But they pick up the
• 3:34:22
  Speaker 11: runner at second base, Vargas. He's retired. And now it's
• 3:34:26
  Speaker 11: runners on the corners with two down for the Sox.
• 3:34:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good play. Good to get the guy out at second.
• 3:34:32
  Speaker 4: Probably didn't need to risk the throw. Probably wouldn't have
• 3:34:34
  Speaker 4: gotten him at Benetton. He still gets down the line
• 3:34:36
  Speaker 4: pretty well.
• 3:34:39
  Speaker 11: Well, with Kyle Teal scheduled to bat, Stephen Boat is
• 3:34:45
  Speaker 11: on his way to the mound. He had Tim Heron
• 3:34:47
  Speaker 11: loose and ready to go, the lefty, and he wants
• 3:34:50
  Speaker 11: him right here. We'll take a timeout and have more.
• 3:34:53
  Speaker 11: It's 3-1, Guardians in front on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
• 3:34:58

  Speaker 37: Ever.
• 3:36:33
  Speaker 14: Tomorrow afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 3:36:42
  Speaker 11: Tim Herron on to pitch. Left on left spot facing
• 3:36:45
  Speaker 11: Kyle Teal. 34th appearance for Herron. 0-2, an ERA of 3.08.
• 3:36:53
  Speaker 11: Runners on the corners, two outs. Guardians up 3-1. Eighth inning,
• 3:36:57
  Speaker 11: here's the pitch. Breaking ball low and outside for ball one.
• 3:37:05
  Speaker 11: Aaron came on, pitched Monday night, allowed a home run.
• 3:37:11
  Speaker 11: It is one inning of work. Here's the 1-0. Swung on,
• 3:37:15
  Speaker 11: and that's line foul, third base side out of play.
• 3:37:19
  Speaker 11: Teal today has been hit by a pitch, singled, and scored.
• 3:37:24
  Speaker 11: Also retired by the shortstop on a great play by
• 3:37:29
  Speaker 11: Brian Rocchio back in the fourth inning. Here's Heron's 1-1.
• 3:37:35
  Speaker 11: It's low and outside and off the glove of Bailey,
• 3:37:38
  Speaker 11: and that will allow the base runner at first, Ben Intendi,
• 3:37:41
  Speaker 11: to move up. Staying at third is Gonzalez on the
• 3:37:45
  Speaker 11: wild pitch.
• 3:37:50
  Speaker 4: Not ideal, but you get your hitter, you get out
• 3:37:53
  Speaker 4: of the inning anyways. I think Bailey just was kind
• 3:37:56
  Speaker 4: of in between whether he wanted to pick that or
• 3:37:57
  Speaker 4: catch it on the fly.
• 3:38:01
  Speaker 11: Now the 2-1. Low and outside for ball three. 3-1
• 3:38:07
  Speaker 11: the count. As the Sox now have the tying runs
• 3:38:11
  Speaker 11: in scoring position. 3-1 pitch coming to Kyle Thiel. Here
• 3:38:21
  Speaker 11: it is. Called strike. Good fastball.
• 3:38:26
  Speaker 13: Good.
• 3:38:26
  Speaker 4: You've been giving him a healthy dose of spinning. Sliders
• 3:38:30
  Speaker 4: and curveballs just came back with a nice two-seam in there.
• 3:38:32
  Speaker 4: Kind of get him guessing here.
• 3:38:35
  Speaker 11: I believe I said Benintendi. That's a pinch runner. Acuna
• 3:38:38
  Speaker 11: is into the game for the Sox. Here's the 3-2.
• 3:38:45
  Speaker 11: Swung on. A bouncer to first. Grabbed by Manzardo. Takes
• 3:38:48
  Speaker 11: it to the bag in time for the out. Tim
• 3:38:51
  Speaker 11: Herron does the job in the eighth inning. And the
• 3:38:54
  Speaker 11: Sox come up empty. We'll head to the ninth. Guardians 3,
• 3:38:57
  Speaker 11: White Sox 1.
