  [SPEAKER_04]: Then we have on John Robertson to talk about another fever loss.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_04]: It's getting pretty dire in feverville.
• 1:49
  [SPEAKER_04]: Even the playoffs now look like they are slipping away.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_04]: John Robertson will be here to talk about that and

• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_04]: Quick note before we get to central Indian sports central.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_04]: I have been feeling a bit under the weather.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_04]: I think Michelle Garmin made me sick when we were doing our football podcast the other night.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_04]: So it could affect the flow of our podcast, but I certainly hope not.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_04]: If it does, it will interrupt us very much or for very long.
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_04]: Just wanted to make you aware that it could affect the podcasting schedule and I may sound a little weird.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_04]: Central Indian sports central begins now.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_04]: another just spectacular race.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_04]: In the indie car series, as I mentioned in yesterday's reaction to the Milwaukee race, they've had seventeen races this year.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_04]: Six of them have been just incredible to watch.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_04]: Whatever they're doing, it's the formula there.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_04]: They should not touch it.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_04]: And of course Milwaukee always one of the most special races on the schedule.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_04]: Here's our indie car guy Elijah Poe with a report.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_04]: We now welcome in Elijah Poe, our indie car guy, to talk about the race at the Milwaukee Mile and before we get to the Dane and Victory Lane, Elijah, another incredible race at Milwaukee.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, just an outstanding race.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: Any cars are just so great on these short ovals.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: And every time they go to one, I think it shows us more and more just how competitive the all these cars are, especially on the ovals.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_03]: And it was just great to see it today at the Milwaukee Mile.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_04]: And we saw one of the great charges from six to seventh place on the restart from Christian Rasmussen through some of the best racers in Indie car.
• 4:22
  [SPEAKER_04]: And past Alex below who had dominated the entire race about in the end, it was the day in today Christian Rasmussen is first win as an Indie car driver.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was honestly incredible watching him on those pressure tires.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: After that restart, he was just absolutely soaring through the field.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: And he was so, so competitive.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: Every past he made, it really felt like he was just teadering on that edge.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: He's so incredibly great in how fierce he drives, even though he can get him into some trouble sometimes.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: Today it worked perfectly though, and that's all that matters.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_04]: A couple of close moments in late in the race, uh, movie probably didn't have to make and a couple of wiggles in the last couple of laps.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_04]: We were a little holding our breath there because we were looking forward to maybe seeing a day in a victory lane and you made it work like you said.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was incredible in beating out the list of drivers.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: He had to pass Polo, McLaughlin, Rossi, Award, Lungard, New Garden.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was incredible.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_04]: Two of indie car drivers.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_04]: And relatively unknown, although we've been talking about it, Elijah Ed Carpenter found a good one.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they did.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: And they've got such a strong driver lineup.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, Christian is so so fierce.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: And then you have on the other side of the garage with Alexander Rossi, who is more calculated.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: And it doesn't have some of those moments like Rasbian does, but is a note out a really great driver.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: And for them to end up in first and fourth today, it is so so great for that team.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_04]: You know, you went on an oval.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_04]: It means that you have the capability of one day winning at Indy.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_04]: And I think everybody wants to see Ed Carpenter and his team one day win at Indy.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, obviously, Ross, he's been in victory lane before and with how good both of those are on ovals.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: If the speeds there, they are going to be up near the top.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_04]: Elijah, seventeen down one to go.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_04]: Of course, Alex below already clinched the championship.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_04]: He did that like what?
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_04]: Two and a half months ago.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_04]: He already won it before Indy and then he won Indy.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_04]: So it's been a long time, but the final race of the season and as I've been saying, every race is its own individual championship.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_04]: It's at Nashville.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_04]: Another short oval should be another spectacular race.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_04]: It's been just an amazing season.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_04]: Brace that.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: It really should be a great race.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: The years, any cars been there.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: The racing has always been super, super competitive.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: And to end out your season in Nashville, having a great crowd in Milwaukee, I'm sure there would be just this bigger.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: Just as big, if not bigger than in Nashville, it should be a great one.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm really interested to see who's going to pull away with that one.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_04]: What story, Lodge, are you looking at heading into the final race at Lodge?
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm really focused on Team Pinsky right now.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: With Will Powers still up in the air, I'm going to be really interested to see what he's able to do at Nashville.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: And then he looked at the other side of the two drivers.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: None of them have a win in Joseph New Garden in Scotland, Galalfland.
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: Our both are in both are very, very fast and have been proven to be fast at Nashville specifically.
• 7:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: So it should be a great one.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_03]: Obviously Alex Plo is always going to be a contender.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: And now so is Christian Rasmussen.
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_04]: Check out Elijah Poe Dave Chainley and Michelle Garman for our recap of the Milwaukee Mile.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_04]: I released that yesterday evening.
• 7:37
  [SPEAKER_04]: Go check it out.
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you so much.
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_04]: Elijah always enjoy your indie car coverage.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_04]: former WNBA MVP front runner in the feasts of Collier returned to the line up in the Minnesota Lynx beat the Indiana fever ninety seven to eighty four she went eleven for sixteen from the field thirty two points nine rebounds the fever of loss four of their last six and six of their last eight in spite of the continued heroics of Kelsey Mitchell who had twenty six points in the loss
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_04]: Shay Petty, who honestly I never heard of before tonight, scored sixteen points for the fever.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_04]: They are just down to bare bones right now.
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_04]: He got Kelsey Mitchell, Leah Boston, Lexi Hall, and Natasha Howard, and a bunch of newcomers, journeymen and players who weren't even in the league when Lee season began.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_04]: The fever are now in the final playoff spot.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_04]: tied with the Golden State Valkyries, a game ahead of the surging Los Angeles sparks, with the Seattle Storm coming to town on Tuesday night.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_04]: Here's John Robertson with a report on the game and other fever related stuff.
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_04]: I welcome in a young John Robertson to give us an update on the Indiana fever.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_04]: John is our fever guy and on Monday we will have a fever report and recap this game a little bit.
• 9:11
  [SPEAKER_04]: John, ninety seven, eighty four fever on the wrong side against the links and we'll talk about how the where the fever fit in the playoff picture.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_04]: We'll talk about how much of an emergency this is.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_04]: We'll talk about Caitlin Clark.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_04]: And we'll talk about your conspiracy, but I just talk about the game a little bit.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_04]: It's kind of a spite of Kelsey Mitchell.
• 9:34
  [SPEAKER_04]: They're not, they just don't have it.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: They don't.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: And this was very much a mirror of the last game they played.
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is almost exactly the same thing that happened.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it was Friday night against the links.
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: The fever came out really strong.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Start really fast.
• 9:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Good start.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then just second quarter on minutes of the first quarter.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, minutes of the slowly cut back in and then just took over and won.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it comes down the depth.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: The team just has no depth.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've got so many new people trying to figure out how to fit in.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: and everybody else just has the advantage of, they've got more legs, so we get to the end of the game, we have to legs.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_04]: Never heard of some of the people off the bench, and that's a problem.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_04]: And Lexi Hall had a really good game on Friday, a little disappointing today.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she started super hot on Friday, finished okay saying, ah, tonight just didn't have the shot.
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: She made two, three's.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Everything else was offensively not very strong defensively.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: She made some really, really good plays.
• 10:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Took a shot to the mouth from somebody.
• 10:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was a lot of elbows.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was a couple of playground ones tonight from Minneapolis.
• 10:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it was just
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 10:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: We knew going in that beam in a soda twice was unlikely.
• 10:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: We wanted to go fifty feet on it.
• 10:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it's just, they're struggling.
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_04]: Good effort on Friday came up short.
• 10:55
  [SPEAKER_04]: Decent effort tonight came up short as well.
• 10:58
  [SPEAKER_04]: Here's where we stand though, John.
• 11:00
  [SPEAKER_04]: That's two losses in a row, both to the links.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_04]: Four in the last five.
• 11:04
  [SPEAKER_04]: Six in the last eight.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_04]: They now teeter on the brink of missing the playoffs in the eighth spot.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_04]: Doesn't look like a lot of wins in the making unless Caitlin Clark comes back.
• 11:17
  [SPEAKER_04]: Is there hope?
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's hope for sure.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's absolutely hope because this team is showing that they can hang with anybody for a while.
• 11:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know if you bring Caitlyn back at this point.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can't afford to be no hope.
• 11:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm just saying I think you kind of let the chips fall where they fall and let her heal up for next season.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want another Tyre's Halberd.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_04]: As the great as the expectations were coming into the season, it's just kind of been a bummer, hasn't it?
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's just been full of injuries and you can attribute that to whatever you want to, like bad luck or the lead allowing too much rough play.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like whatever you want to attribute to, there's just too many injuries to really overcome.
• 11:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: The fact that the team is done as well as they have with the obstacles,
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's commendable.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do think Kelsey Mitchell needs to be in the MVP conversation for as hard as she's carried this team through.
• 12:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's fair.
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Look at how hard she's carried this team.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_04]: Last thing before we get to the fever report, John.
• 12:15
  [SPEAKER_04]: T's your conspiracy theory on the WNBA and the potential lockout.
• 12:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that the lockout and the negotiation issues potential lockout was a backup plan to prevent the fever from winning the championship if the season had gone differently.
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_04]: So according to your conspiracy theory, if everything goes the way it is right now, there will be no lockout.
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_04]: They'll get us up because
• 12:42
  [SPEAKER_04]: the fever aren't winning the championship.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying that it will prevent a lockout.
• 12:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm saying that they had it in their back pocket.
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Should they have needed it.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_04]: We're going to get more into that on the feeble report a little later today.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you so much John.
• 12:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: My pleasure.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_04]: We are just just over a month away from the Major League Baseball postseason.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_04]: So things are heating up down the stretch and one of the teams in the middle of all of it is the Cincinnati Reds who got a much needed six to one when over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the desert on Sunday to salvage a win in the series.
• 13:23
  [SPEAKER_04]: The only team in Major League Baseball not to be swept this year.
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_04]: Crazy.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_04]: The Cubs are comfortably in the playoffs.
• 13:32
  [SPEAKER_04]: They completed a three game sweep of the Angels with a four to three win on Sunday.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_04]: We start our conversation with Paul Tipton, our MLB guy with the Yankee seven to two win over the Dodgers on Sunday night baseball.
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_04]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report.
• 13:50
  [SPEAKER_04]: Paul Tipton, our MLB guy from the MLB report, which is
• 13:55
  [SPEAKER_04]: coming out.
• 13:56
  [SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes soon we thought it was going to be Monday.
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_04]: We're not sure now.
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_04]: Might be Tuesday.
• 14:02
  [SPEAKER_04]: What we saw tonight was another Yankees win.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_04]: So things aren't as bad as they could have been your little pessimistic going into it.
• 14:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: completely.
• 14:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: In fact, I'm a little surprised you use the word another, since they had lost eight straight games to the Red Sox.
• 14:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm at finally one.
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
• 14:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I see.
• 14:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
• 14:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Good.
• 14:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Yankees best hope is to somehow make it to the playoffs and then hope that somebody else eliminates the Red Sox.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_04]: That's the answer to the Red Sox won't be there.
• 14:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think any of these other teams are wanting to get in.
• 14:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Royals, the Rangers, the Cleveland.
• 14:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, Cleveland, yes.
• 14:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: You just need to say the bad way.
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_04]: It's hiding.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_04]: There's Wilkes up spiders.
• 14:52
  [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, the American League seems like we know who the six teams are going to be.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I believe that's correct.
• 15:01
  [SPEAKER_04]: And my red legs were out in your desert this weekend and it did not go well for the reds until today until the eighth inning today when they were down one to nothing and finally the offense came alive and they got a much needed one win in the series.
• 15:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: I am embarrassed to tell all your listeners that I'm twenty minutes from that stadium and did not get to any of the three games, but I did pay particular attention to the games.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: The reds are the only team in the major leagues who have not been swept by team in a series this year.
• 15:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: So they kept that going and we hope that they do even better against the Dodgers coming up this next week.
• 15:48
  [SPEAKER_04]: Man, what a brutal stretch for the reds.
• 15:50
  [SPEAKER_04]: They've been playing pretty well.
• 15:52
  [SPEAKER_04]: I even thought they played pretty well in the series.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_04]: They probably should have won Friday.
• 15:55
  [SPEAKER_04]: They did win today and then Saturday was just one of those games where your ace gets sheldt.
• 16:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is why anybody who tries to tell you what's going to happen in baseball is just making it up.
• 16:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's such a never-assinating daily game.
• 16:15
  [SPEAKER_04]: You know, many losses I young had.
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_04]: Just because he got five hundred and eighty seven wins or whatever.
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he did.
• 16:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Here's Abbott with the third best ERA and the diamond back pitching has not been impressive, but you know, that's the one.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure all the red fans are wishing that Abbott could be pitching in the upcoming Dodger series, but then look like he's going to
• 16:39
  [SPEAKER_04]: When it comes to starting pitching, the reds typically get a pretty good outing.
• 16:44
  [SPEAKER_04]: That's the outcome of having a really good starting pitching.
• 16:48
  [SPEAKER_04]: That's a deep starting pitching stuff.
• 16:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we get we follow up the Abbott disappointment by putting a Brady singer on the mound and he gives up on the hit and the dime backs only managed to two hits.
• 17:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: So the day after a
• 17:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: disappointing route in the desert here that the reds are right back on it.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: The real problem for the reds is that the mets are going five and five in their last ten, but the reds just seem to be matching them.
• 17:14
  [SPEAKER_04]: The bad news is there are three and six in their last nine.
• 17:17
  [SPEAKER_04]: They've lost three straight series.
• 17:18
  [SPEAKER_04]: The good news is there's still only a game in half behind the mets.
• 17:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: That is correct.
• 17:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think the mets are very catchable despite how they played against the brave's this weekend.
• 17:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: So.
• 17:29
  [SPEAKER_04]: And if the reds get in,
• 17:33
  [SPEAKER_04]: They're capable of doing some things.
• 17:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, their pitching is definitely very capable.
• 17:38
  [SPEAKER_04]: And with Marta hitting the way he has been in Dala Cruz kind of figuring things out every day it seems.
• 17:45
  [SPEAKER_04]: They're a dangerous team if they can get in.
• 17:47
  [SPEAKER_04]: I'm starting to doubt it.
• 17:48
  [SPEAKER_04]: This schedule's rough.
• 17:49
  [SPEAKER_04]: The cubs are suddenly starting to look like the cubs of the early season again.
• 17:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now even PCA had a clutch it Friday night.
• 17:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: There's no way they're going to catch the brewers, but they look to have righted this ship a little bit.
• 18:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Kyle Tucker sits down for three days and then he comes back and he's tearing up all the pitchers.
• 18:10
