- 1:51Speaker 5: Are y'all okay?
- 1:52Speaker 2: I'm good?
- 1:53Speaker 5: Had that awful incoment weather and battery safe and sound,
- 1:57Speaker 5: but yeah, yeah, I'm good. We made it okay, Like
- 2:01Speaker 5: the the windows were rattling at LSU a little bit
- 2:03Speaker 5: for like an hour, hunkered down, got through it.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Uh I'm tired, guys. I want to know the time
- 2:09Speaker 2: you get home last night. Climbed in that bed around
- 2:12Speaker 2: one point thirty. Yeah, yeah, a late boy. It is
- 2:16Speaker 2: a late boy.
- 2:17Speaker 3: And uh yeah, you know, rain delays have become a thing.
- 2:21Speaker 3: They are certainly a thing, and sometimes when it doesn't rain,
- 2:24Speaker 3: they are a thing. And I told y'all we played
- 2:26Speaker 3: a whole youth baseball tournament and there was no stoppage
- 2:31Speaker 3: in the same city.
- 2:33Speaker 2: The same city. It's too far away actually around the
- 2:36Speaker 2: same time. Uh yeah, it just look it.
- 2:39Speaker 3: It is like and I get it, you're not going
- 2:42Speaker 3: to And the NCAA has something to do with this
- 2:44Speaker 3: once it becomes a postseason as well. But certainly if
- 2:47Speaker 3: you're LSU like, you're not going to risk burning Anthony
- 2:51Speaker 3: Jnson if you go out there two innings, four hour
- 2:53Speaker 3: rain delay and then he's done.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think either coach like once that.
- 2:57Speaker 4: So now, yeah, we were talking about that better I guess,
- 3:01Speaker 4: better safe than sorry. If you're if you're Jay looking
- 3:03Speaker 4: at it, even if there's a thirty chance that this
- 3:06Speaker 4: thing might get delayed and you got one game, one
- 3:11Speaker 4: game to win with your number two guy, that's a
- 3:14Speaker 4: that's an amazing picture to punch the ticket to.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Omaha. Yeah, I guess you.
- 3:18Speaker 4: I guess you play it better safe than sorry. So
- 3:20Speaker 4: I guess what we were We were looking it up.
- 3:22Speaker 4: Both coaches have to agree, NCAA has to agree, and.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Was there was there a fourth No, it was just that.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Okay, both coaches and the NCAA have to be like
- 3:32Speaker 4: on the same page to figure that delay out.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah, look Anthony Ijinsen's going.
- 3:38Speaker 3: But also yeah for West Virginia, I mean they've got somebody,
- 3:41Speaker 3: it's got a sub three e R.
- 3:43Speaker 2: It's gonna start for them.
- 3:44Speaker 3: So yeah, they don't want to get started and then
- 3:46Speaker 3: burn that player as well. So look, it's just the
- 3:48Speaker 3: Morning show complaining. Yeah, ye, just popping off these complaints.
- 3:52Speaker 2: We're used to it.
- 3:53Speaker 4: Just we played a much at eight pm games last week.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 4:00Speaker 3: If any team in America is used to it, it
- 4:03Speaker 3: is the LSU Tiger Ready.
- 4:05Speaker 2: But look they are morning I mean, yeah, just a
- 4:09Speaker 2: little complaint box. Why not so people got to work?
- 4:12Speaker 6: Told J several times because I've been in Taylor's spot
- 4:16Speaker 6: where they delay it.
- 4:18Speaker 7: Until there's one time it is ten pm. Wasn't it
- 4:21Speaker 7: the Northwestern game?
- 4:22Speaker 2: I thought about this yesterday.
- 4:24Speaker 7: It was game from hell when they were like they got.
- 4:28Speaker 5: So this was in March because me and Victoria were
- 4:31Speaker 5: doing like anniversary stuff Alandra had to do the baseball game.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Baseball was at a.
- 4:36Speaker 5: Three hour delay next door a Tiger park. I thought
- 4:40Speaker 5: that team was in the third day in March.
- 4:46Speaker 6: Like I've told J before, like, hey, I'm gonna need
- 4:48Speaker 6: you to stop with these delays.
- 4:50Speaker 2: You don't listen.
- 4:52Speaker 4: I don't know if he cares about us, care about us?
- 4:57Speaker 5: A little selfish in a little sweepy little selfish.
- 5:00Speaker 3: Regardless of what time the game started, though, LSU does
- 5:04Speaker 3: sweep West Virginia sixteen to nine on Saturday twelve to
- 5:08Speaker 3: five last night. And my biggest takeaway, and we'll go
- 5:12Speaker 3: around the room and get your biggest takeaway.
- 5:14Speaker 2: But for me, your two guys and.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Kate Anderson and Anthony Iinson, who have carried you all
- 5:21Speaker 3: season long, neither one of those players had their best stuff,
- 5:26Speaker 3: neither one of them right, they were human for the
- 5:28Speaker 3: first time in a long time. And it still wasn't close.
- 5:33Speaker 3: You still won both games by seven runs. That to
- 5:37Speaker 3: me is the biggest takeaway because you know, Kate Anderson
- 5:40Speaker 3: and Anthony Jinson are going to come back and be
- 5:44Speaker 3: who they've been all season long. But for the offense
- 5:47Speaker 3: to go out there score sixteen, score twelve, and those
- 5:51Speaker 3: two guys weren't on their a game, and you still
- 5:53Speaker 3: didn't use Zach Collen, our Case and Evans this entire weekend,
- 5:57Speaker 3: like you never had to bring in your best bullpen arms.
- 6:01Speaker 3: And I even thought last night, well maybe they'll bring
- 6:03Speaker 3: in one just so they get a chance to pitch. Yah, Yeah,
- 6:06Speaker 3: just so they get some you know, basically a bullpen.
- 6:08Speaker 3: And but you don't have to do that. And so
- 6:11Speaker 3: for me, the offense was a question, right, But you
- 6:14Speaker 3: look at the last three games the offense has carried
- 6:17Speaker 3: and if this offense can bring that to Omaha, and
- 6:21Speaker 3: you pair that with the one two punch, and you
- 6:23Speaker 3: pair that with Cowen and Evans in the bullpen, so
- 6:26Speaker 3: it makes LSU and Vegas agrees with us one of,
- 6:29Speaker 3: if not the favorite in Omaha.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Yeah, twenty twenty eight runs two games. Going into this weekend,
- 6:37Speaker 4: we thought if you would have told us we're gonna
- 6:40Speaker 4: score twenty eight runs, we went, all right, we got these,
- 6:42Speaker 4: then we're gonna win the first two games, we're probably.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Gonna win the series by twenty five runs. Right.
- 6:49Speaker 4: But yeah, you're right. They didn't have their stuff the
- 6:51Speaker 4: other team. I mean credit to them, they hit the
- 6:53Speaker 4: ball well, and yeah they were scrappy, but I mean
- 6:57Speaker 4: from top to bottom, one to nine would us there?
- 7:00Speaker 4: There's just no spot in that lineup right now for
- 7:04Speaker 4: the other other picture to breathe.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Watching it. It was just which which batter in that lineup?
- 7:12Speaker 4: Do you not fear right now that at least going
- 7:15Speaker 4: to put the ball in play or at least is
- 7:17Speaker 4: going to have an opportunity to to.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Smack one down the line?
- 7:21Speaker 4: I mean the ability for this team, like the discipline
- 7:24Speaker 4: that they have at the plate is incredible, the eye
- 7:28Speaker 4: discipline they have, the discipline they have, the layoff pitches, like, yeah,
- 7:32Speaker 4: they really do. I mean I've been watching baseball, you know,
- 7:37Speaker 4: pretty hardcore now for for two weeks and that's like
- 7:40Speaker 4: the biggest thing for two weeks. Sorry, so Pat on
- 7:42Speaker 4: the back credits myself.
- 7:44Speaker 7: Two weeks before that, it wasn't great, right, greatly.
- 7:48Speaker 2: You picked a good two weeks to get locked in Matt.
- 7:51Speaker 5: Flynn get the bats, I mean, try to try to
- 7:57Speaker 5: prove that theory wrong.
- 8:00Speaker 4: But yeah, the ability for this team to go opo too,
- 8:02Speaker 4: I mean just like good sound fundamental hitting. Yeah, it's yeah,
- 8:08Speaker 4: it was. It was great, so hopefully it continues. In
- 8:11Speaker 4: correct me if I'm wrong here. I mean pretty much
- 8:13Speaker 4: completely different lineup from game one to game two as well.
- 8:16Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, the last three games, and you go
- 8:19Speaker 2: back to what's making these decisions? Can't wait to ask you?
- 8:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you go back to you little rock game.
- 8:23Speaker 3: It's it has been completely different. And and Jay is
- 8:27Speaker 3: not afraid to move pieces around, that is for sure.
- 8:29Speaker 3: He's not afraid to start a guy that hasn't started
- 8:32Speaker 3: in a while. He feels like it's a good matchup,
- 8:34Speaker 3: and really those things have been paying off. We could
- 8:36Speaker 3: go back like key spots in all three.
- 8:38Speaker 2: Of these games.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Again going back to the Regional, it's like a move
- 8:41Speaker 3: that he made was pivotal, like in that game in
- 8:46Speaker 3: that moment that guy came up because of the lineup changes. So,
- 8:50Speaker 3: I mean, Jay's certainly been pushing all the right buttons.
- 8:52Speaker 3: A laundra biggest takeaway.
- 8:54Speaker 6: Yeah, I think one of my biggest to preface it,
- 8:58Speaker 6: one of my biggest concerns throughout the season was you know,
- 9:01Speaker 6: runners left on base, not being able to do the
- 9:04Speaker 6: timely hitting and whenever you have those free bases, being
- 9:08Speaker 6: able to take advantage of them. And LSU took advantage
- 9:11Speaker 6: of pretty much every single free base that West Virginia gave.
- 9:14Speaker 7: You, and coming into this series it wasn't many.
- 9:18Speaker 6: Like maybe our pitchers weren't at their best, but West
- 9:22Speaker 6: Virginia's weren't either. So I love the timely hitting that
- 9:26Speaker 6: we had. I mean, Steven milam Flynn texted us in
- 9:29Speaker 6: the group chat about the Grand Slam and the fourth
- 9:32Speaker 6: inning and.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Love it. You're you're on the bandwagon.
- 9:37Speaker 4: Well, I mean you said you hated them, but.
- 9:44Speaker 6: Yeah, that was my biggest takeaways, being able to take
- 9:46Speaker 6: advantage of those free bases that they were giving you.
- 9:48Speaker 6: I mean, you had the bases loaded twice and last
- 9:51Speaker 6: week and Little when Little Rock had the bases loaded twice,
- 9:55Speaker 6: you didn't do anything with it. So to have not
- 9:58Speaker 6: one but two Grand Slams in one game out.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Of ten, yeah, he ta big stakeaway. Steven Malin's that guy.
- 10:06Speaker 2: I mean, he's done this two years in a row. Right.
- 10:08Speaker 5: That was kind of the big concern in this lineup
- 10:11Speaker 5: was what's wrong with Steven myl up? Like you saw
- 10:13Speaker 5: him start the season in the three hole. He went
- 10:16Speaker 5: all the way down to like eight. Now he's back
- 10:18Speaker 5: up in the lineup, and think about this, Think about
- 10:21Speaker 5: how great he was on Saturday. He was batting right
- 10:23Speaker 5: handed to go against the left handed pitcher last night
- 10:26Speaker 5: Batton lefty didn't matter.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Five RBIs and I gotta have a game. He was incredible.
- 10:31Speaker 5: But the lineup as a whole, Like, to me, if
- 10:34Speaker 5: this game was a month ago, the way the offense
- 10:37Speaker 5: is struggling, that's a game that LSU loses because the
- 10:41Speaker 5: pitching wasn't the best West Virginia Claws back end of
- 10:43Speaker 5: this game makes it a two run game, like a
- 10:46Speaker 5: month and a half ago. LSU probably loses that game,
- 10:48Speaker 5: but I mean, I can't be the only one that
- 10:51Speaker 5: was like, as soon as Cooper Williams came in how
- 10:53Speaker 5: to scoreless inning, Stanfield's RBI made it eight four. I
- 10:58Speaker 5: was like, Okay, we're good. We're like Lshu's fine, And
- 11:02Speaker 5: I mean that that proved to be true. This team
- 11:05Speaker 5: offensively looks like they were early in the year.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a couple of individual performances that we'll talk
- 11:11Speaker 3: about throughout the day, certainly, and we mentioned Steven Milom there,
- 11:15Speaker 3: Derek Curryel, how about him? How about the freshman? I mean,
- 11:18Speaker 3: you move him down in the lineup. And I was like,
- 11:21Speaker 3: all right, look, it makes sense. Josh Pearson hits lefties,
- 11:24Speaker 3: you know, really well, and it hits a Grand Slam obviously,
- 11:26Speaker 3: So he had a big day. But Curry Ell on
- 11:29Speaker 3: that first day, I mean's three for three, he has
- 11:32Speaker 3: five RBIs, he scores three runs, and then you come
- 11:35Speaker 3: back in the next day put him back in the
- 11:37Speaker 3: leadoff spot. Now he had one hit, but he had
- 11:39Speaker 3: two walks, scores three runs, like to be a freshman,
- 11:43Speaker 3: to be a true freshman, and to be as good
- 11:46Speaker 3: as he is is one thing, but to be as
- 11:48Speaker 3: composed as as this young man is.
- 11:51Speaker 2: I mean, to go down the line.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Because you're facing the left, and then you go right
- 11:54Speaker 3: back up and you do exactly what a leadoff hitter
- 11:56Speaker 3: has to do. He gets on base three times in
- 11:59Speaker 3: a game. And this young man is just remarkable. He
- 12:02Speaker 3: should have been the SEC Freshman of the year.
- 12:04Speaker 2: He wasn't. Whatever.
- 12:05Speaker 3: I'm sure like team success is all he cares about
- 12:08Speaker 3: right now, but he just continues to impress over and
- 12:11Speaker 3: over again.
- 12:12Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the youth on this team has like
- 12:15Speaker 4: stepped up in a pretty pretty dark, big way. It's
- 12:18Speaker 4: it's really impressive. Especially I mean, Curiell has been batt
- 12:21Speaker 4: lead off for so long and then you come out
- 12:23Speaker 4: throw him at the seven hole in the first game
- 12:25Speaker 4: of the series, and it's like it's a little bit
- 12:27Speaker 4: of a shake up for him, right, It's probably for
- 12:29Speaker 4: a freshman, it's probably good going in your first Super
- 12:32Speaker 4: Regional you're a freshman.
- 12:36Speaker 2: He makes the lineup changes, makes you think a little bit.
- 12:38Speaker 3: As you know, like a lot of people though, and
- 12:39Speaker 3: certainly like a lot of freshmen and you come in
- 12:43Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, it's like, man, I got
- 12:44Speaker 3: moved down to the sixth hole, Like, hey, what's going on?
- 12:46Speaker 3: And then you start playing the middle games, and then
- 12:48Speaker 3: you start thinking about that more. You start thinking about
- 12:50Speaker 3: your approach right right, because like, wait a minute, I've
- 12:53Speaker 3: been lead off, right, what's going on here? I've been
- 12:55Speaker 3: lead off basically ninety five percent of this year.
- 12:57Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe it's a good thing. Though, Like you think
- 12:59Speaker 4: about the mindset you have to have as a leadoff guy.
- 13:02Speaker 4: It's not necessarily about hitting for power, hitting trying to
- 13:05Speaker 4: trying to hit doubles, triples, on runs and anything like.
- 13:08Speaker 4: That's about getting on bass, right, So maybe you know
- 13:11Speaker 4: mentally it's like, all right, I'm hitting seven, let's just
- 13:13Speaker 4: go out there and rip it now.
- 13:15Speaker 2: I don't have It's a little.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Bit different mental approach when you step in the batter's box.
- 13:19Speaker 2: But yeah, that's that changed.
- 13:21Speaker 4: So we did the last week besides doing the show, Like,
- 13:25Speaker 4: my first official thing that I did with the station
- 13:29Speaker 4: was the weekend survey that sent out to everybody. It
- 13:33Speaker 4: was like, all right, you know, who's your key player
- 13:37Speaker 4: for this?
- 13:37Speaker 2: For this series?
- 13:38Speaker 4: I had to like write something like like all right,
- 13:40Speaker 4: I gotta actually type guy's name and like give a
- 13:42Speaker 4: reason why.
- 13:43Speaker 2: It's like why is he you know, why is this
- 13:46Speaker 2: guy the key player?
- 13:47Speaker 4: And I said Curiel going into it, and the reason
- 13:51Speaker 4: why is like, because he's the leadoff guy and.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Q victories I like to.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Get on base, so they have to throw strikes to
- 13:57Speaker 4: eat the fray and like, of course that that's like
- 14:00Speaker 4: my first prediction that's been put it's been put on paper,
- 14:04Speaker 4: it's been sent out to the world to see. And
- 14:06Speaker 4: then the first pitch, Josh Pearson walks out there.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Leader. I was like, oh yeah, hold up, wait a minute,
- 14:13Speaker 2: wait a minute, Well I was wrong.
- 14:15Speaker 3: Was anybody as proud that they picked Steven Mylm? Then
- 14:19Speaker 3: our guy Hanny in the group chat, my man was
- 14:23Speaker 3: like every hit he got, he's he's making sure.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Although also picked.
- 14:28Speaker 5: Well so that Hanny's not the only one to pick
- 14:31Speaker 5: Steven Mylm, but he's the only one that victory lapped that.
- 14:34Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna do it, especially after Hanny.
- 14:36Speaker 5: I was like, I'm not gonna jump that, I'm gonna
- 14:38Speaker 5: I'm gonna let him have this.
- 14:39Speaker 6: Mylm just felt so chalk to me that, I was like,
- 14:41Speaker 6: let me go with somebody.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Like the ultimate chalk. I remember, like Kate Anderson, Anthony.
- 14:49Speaker 6: We've said Steven my before, Like Stephen when he was
- 14:53Speaker 6: like slumping a little bit, We're like, he needs to
- 14:55Speaker 6: get back online because he's one of your uh like
- 14:58Speaker 6: most productive people out there in the field and his bat.
- 15:02Speaker 5: So I mean that was just kind of to me, Yeah,
- 15:05Speaker 5: let Hanny have that because like I went my and
- 15:08Speaker 5: Jared Jones. That was my answer. I was like, you know,
- 15:11Speaker 5: if both both dangerous one through nine, like that was
- 15:14Speaker 5: my both chose two people.
- 15:16Speaker 2: I chose to.
- 15:19Speaker 5: His two though is like one A one B is
- 15:21Speaker 5: Hoyser number one picture, so like you kind of got
- 15:24Speaker 5: to group them. Pitching staff is cy to victory.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Hey, at least my guy went out there to throw
- 15:28Speaker 3: the first All the pictures, I'm gonna say, the hitters,
- 15:32Speaker 3: the hitting staff, staff, the roster. Look, if you don't think,
- 15:38Speaker 3: if y'all don't think those two guys in a super
- 15:41Speaker 3: regional format were going to be big and again they
- 15:43Speaker 3: didn't have their best stuff, but you got to win
- 15:46Speaker 3: two games.
- 15:47Speaker 2: I like those two to go and get it. Uh.
- 15:49Speaker 6: Hunt was on the call and did not miss a
- 15:51Speaker 6: beat in the group chat though, because like we said,
- 15:53Speaker 6: Handy was victory lapping and like typing in cough cough
- 15:56Speaker 6: in the group chat and Hunt goes, somebody get handy.
- 16:00Speaker 7: Then to his that.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Was that was Haunt's best he's ever had. Like that.
- 16:05Speaker 3: That made me like, actually last Hunt was on the
- 16:08Speaker 3: call this weekend.
- 16:09Speaker 7: He was last night Doug left, Doug.
- 16:12Speaker 5: Kind of Doug apparently had a flight to catch. He
- 16:14Speaker 5: was on a vacation and like he thought he was
- 16:17Speaker 5: gonna be done because o'clock. No, he was there for
- 16:21Speaker 5: five Yeah, he's like he sent me the pregame interview
- 16:23Speaker 5: and all that he was there.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Doug was there last minute. He had to bail. So
- 16:27Speaker 2: Hunt step in. Doug, what time was your flight where
- 16:31Speaker 2: you go? Something like that. Maybe it wasn't a flight,
- 16:33Speaker 2: but Chris did.
- 16:34Speaker 7: Say early morning.
- 16:35Speaker 5: Chris said he was on he had to hit a
- 16:37Speaker 5: he had a vacation to catch. Chris was word, okay,
- 16:41Speaker 5: whatever that means?
- 16:45Speaker 2: What what man? What does the voice should say?
- 16:49Speaker 3: If I was like, hey, third quarter old miss kind
- 16:54Speaker 3: of third Katie's waiting one to go to the beach.
- 16:57Speaker 7: That was like very Doug Thompson behavior.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Though, shout out Doug.
- 17:01Speaker 3: I would have figured Doug had like a like a
- 17:03Speaker 3: youth baseball tournament to go to.
- 17:05Speaker 2: I mean, these kids obviously a really good athlete. It
- 17:07Speaker 2: was funny.
- 17:08Speaker 5: I don't know if Chris actually knew because like at
- 17:10Speaker 5: the beginning of the game, he goes Hunt, Palmer's stepping in.
- 17:12Speaker 5: Doug Thompson had planed, and so I'm like planning, and
- 17:15Speaker 5: then later in the game he goes going to Swizzler.
- 17:18Speaker 5: He said, Doug has a vacation. I'm like in the
- 17:20Speaker 5: middle of the game. So it's it's kind of all
- 17:22Speaker 5: over the place.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Joey and the chat says he was going to the
- 17:25Speaker 3: mountains for a World Series. Probably, uh where's that? What's
- 17:30Speaker 3: the big one called? Uh where where do you you go?
- 17:34Speaker 2: There? Sometimes in Calmberg? Yeah, yeah I think so. Yeah,
- 17:39Speaker 2: Severeville Pitcher Forge.
- 17:41Speaker 3: That a forge, Yeah, that's it. Yeah, there's like a
- 17:43Speaker 3: big baseball term. So I'm assuming that's where Dougie was going.

- 20:57Speaker 4: I know that's one of those like just question all things.
- 21:00Speaker 4: So yeah, they got to be lined up this week.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Hey, Gofla, all right, let's go across the country. Let's
- 21:08Speaker 3: check out some scores. Let's check out who LSU is playing,
- 21:11Speaker 3: because we already know that information. In game number one
- 21:15Speaker 3: in Omaha, but in the Louisville Super Regional, Louisville, i
- 21:20Speaker 3: mean took down Miami in game number one. Looked like
- 21:23Speaker 3: they were going to ease their way to victory. But
- 21:25Speaker 3: shout out to Miami because they fall back. After Louisville
- 21:28Speaker 3: beat some eight to one, they come back and they
- 21:31Speaker 3: beat Louisville nine to six. And then yesterday in a
- 21:34Speaker 3: game that was finished right before LSU got started, Louisville
- 21:37Speaker 3: closes the door three to two, and they move on
- 21:41Speaker 3: to Omaha and where they were going to take on
- 21:44Speaker 3: the winner of the Corvallis Super Regional and it was
- 21:49Speaker 3: Oregon State over Florida State now game number one. It
- 21:54Speaker 3: was one of the better games of Super Regional play.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Florida State was up four to one with two outs
- 22:02Speaker 3: in the ninth inning and they lose the game five
- 22:05Speaker 3: to four. Oregon State just like pesky, just like just
- 22:10Speaker 3: sitting there and just will not go away, like single
- 22:12Speaker 3: single double like they the way they were manufacturing runs
- 22:16Speaker 3: in that game, It's like, I don't know that Florida
- 22:19Speaker 3: State can come back from this. It was like death
- 22:21Speaker 3: by a thousand paper cuts. And the beams went out
- 22:25Speaker 3: there and they were victorious. They might they might catch
- 22:27Speaker 3: that game live.
- 22:28Speaker 2: So it called the end OFVID.
- 22:30Speaker 5: And I mean, you know, on Friday, when we were
- 22:32Speaker 5: putting together a little parlay thing, we were picking game
- 22:35Speaker 5: by game.
- 22:36Speaker 2: This was the one we pointed out and.
- 22:37Speaker 5: We were like, we're the most unsure about this one
- 22:39Speaker 5: because this will probably be the best series. Like I said,
- 22:42Speaker 5: I picked Oregon State because they were the home team.
- 22:44Speaker 5: Like that was literally mind.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Settled on Oregon State. It wasn't because of anything solid.
- 22:48Speaker 3: It was literally, these teams are even the Beavers are
- 22:51Speaker 3: at home, Florida State's got to travel across the coach.
- 22:53Speaker 2: That's that's about what happened.
- 22:55Speaker 3: It is, I mean, and certainly in the first two games,
- 22:58Speaker 3: and so Florida State they throw their a arnold on
- 23:01Speaker 3: game number two and they win the game three to one,
- 23:04Speaker 3: and then yesterday an absolute football score fourteen to ten
- 23:09Speaker 3: for Oregon State.
- 23:10Speaker 2: As they move on, and if you want to catch EJ.
- 23:12Speaker 3: Manuel doing push ups live on air later today, you
- 23:16Speaker 3: can check out off campus because well, Florida State's at
- 23:19Speaker 3: home and LSU's moving.
- 23:20Speaker 2: On and Chapel Hill I got he's got one hundred. Yeah,
- 23:27Speaker 2: he's got a hundred.
- 23:28Speaker 3: Because it was like we had like a you know,
- 23:29Speaker 3: if this team wins, if this team loses, if LSU sweeps,
- 23:33Speaker 3: the floor State sweeps, and so it's.
- 23:35Speaker 2: Added up to one hundred. He's gonna do those live
- 23:38Speaker 2: on air, and I'll be counting.
- 23:39Speaker 4: We talked out about two hundred every show.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but this is like all at once, and
- 23:44Speaker 3: you know, yeah, that's impossible, all right. Chapel Hill was
- 23:50Speaker 3: probably the one that was the most unpredictable outcome. After
- 23:57Speaker 3: North Carolina won Game one eighteen to two, like, all right,
- 24:00Speaker 3: well they'll be in Omaha. Shout out to Arizona. They
- 24:05Speaker 3: come back even to when a game would have been
- 24:07Speaker 3: impressive to me. After losing eighteen to two, they come back,
- 24:11Speaker 3: they win ten to eight in Game number two, and
- 24:14Speaker 3: then they come back in Game number three and they
- 24:17Speaker 3: win four to three.
- 24:18Speaker 2: And if you're North Carolina, you have to.
- 24:21Speaker 3: Feel sick right now for a lot of reasons, because
- 24:24Speaker 3: I felt like North Carolina was on the verge of like,
- 24:28Speaker 3: if they get back to Omaha again, this baseball program's
- 24:31Speaker 3: going to change, Like this is like a stepping stone
- 24:35Speaker 3: for them and getting back to Omaha and back to
- 24:37Speaker 3: back years, because you remember, like in the early two
- 24:38Speaker 3: thousands they finished runner up I think two years in
- 24:41Speaker 3: a row, and they didn't parlay that into success like
- 24:45Speaker 3: for the next ten to fifteen years like you thought
- 24:47Speaker 3: they would have, And it felt like they could do
- 24:50Speaker 3: that if they won and got to Omaha. I mean,
- 24:53Speaker 3: that has to be one of the biggest disappointing after
- 24:57Speaker 3: Game one results that I can remember in super Regional history.
- 25:00Speaker 7: So I think that this is the biggest upset of
- 25:02Speaker 7: the weekend.
- 25:02Speaker 6: I know Coastal swept that Auburn, but out right that's
- 25:07Speaker 6: what yeh, yeah, I like, I get that, but this
- 25:10Speaker 6: is probably the biggest upset of the weekend because North Carolina,
- 25:13Speaker 6: agree was not only like one of my favorites, but
- 25:16Speaker 6: just one of the favorites to win.
- 25:18Speaker 2: The entire best odds behind Arkansas, and.
- 25:21Speaker 6: They were I might be exaggerating this, but I feel
- 25:24Speaker 6: like when we were looking at the odds on Friday,
- 25:26Speaker 6: they were like minus a thousand.
- 25:28Speaker 2: I think I think they.
- 25:28Speaker 6: I think they were like, yeah, so this is a
- 25:32Speaker 6: major upset and you do it at home, like, yes,
- 25:37Speaker 6: it's just and like you said, they won eighteen to
- 25:40Speaker 6: two on Friday night, So yeah, huge upset. And I
- 25:44Speaker 6: agreed totally that North Carolina was well on their way
- 25:47Speaker 6: to being one of, if not if they're not already
- 25:50Speaker 6: the top programs in the country.
- 25:52Speaker 7: So and but real quick back to like the Florida
- 25:55Speaker 7: State thing.
- 25:56Speaker 6: I remember I was saying that since they were in
- 25:58Speaker 6: the ACC and you know, Oregon State doesn't have a
- 26:00Speaker 6: conference right now, so they had to go they had
- 26:03Speaker 6: to go.
- 26:03Speaker 7: Like on the road and whatever.
- 26:05Speaker 6: I thought that like Florida State had it tougher because
- 26:08Speaker 6: the ACC is like a tough conference. Yeah, turns out
- 26:11Speaker 6: Oregon State like that was the advantage for them, and
- 26:15Speaker 6: probably tougher now that I'm thinking about it, to have
- 26:18Speaker 6: to go.
- 26:18Speaker 7: On the road, find people to go play you whatever.
- 26:21Speaker 3: So I kind of forget sometimes that between shows. But
- 26:26Speaker 3: on the other show, I do, Like we talk a
- 26:27Speaker 3: lot of what you're just talking about, Laundra.
- 26:30Speaker 2: It's good that you notice that.
- 26:31Speaker 3: Yeah, they played like seventy eight percent of their games
- 26:34Speaker 3: on the road this year, insane because they're independent and
- 26:36Speaker 3: they didn't have a conference and so you know during
- 26:39Speaker 3: conference like weekends, nobody's typically off like maybe one here,
- 26:43Speaker 3: one there, And if I'm that team, I'm like, I'm
- 26:46Speaker 3: like coming to play you?
- 26:47Speaker 2: Yeah you come to yeah, yeah, come play me.
- 26:50Speaker 3: And so they end up playing like Oregon and Iowa
- 26:52Speaker 3: and somebody, and a lot of the Big West teams
- 26:54Speaker 3: like your cal State, Fulletins and all those teams. And
- 26:56Speaker 3: so I mean they were on the road at hun Yeah,
- 27:00Speaker 3: certainly once like conference play started, they were barely ever
- 27:03Speaker 3: at home, and so they had been battle tested and
- 27:05Speaker 3: you know, they thrived and having their home environment there
- 27:08Speaker 3: as well.
- 27:08Speaker 4: So what did they do when when the big conferences
- 27:11Speaker 4: went into conference play they would find one like they
- 27:14Speaker 4: got like Iowa who was off, like whoever was off
- 27:19Speaker 4: in like a major.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Conference, they would go to them.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's not like and you have to have
- 27:24Speaker 3: like obviously an odd number of teams, and so they
- 27:28Speaker 3: just you know, they put together a pretty nice resume
- 27:31Speaker 3: considering what they had to do.
- 27:33Speaker 5: Well to your point, like, I think it helps them
- 27:35Speaker 5: in two ways. It helps them because they had the
- 27:37Speaker 5: home crowd behind them. Finally, like if you can win
- 27:39Speaker 5: on the road, you can win at home. Also, this
- 27:41Speaker 5: is gonna help them in Omaha because they played on
- 27:43Speaker 5: the road.
- 27:44Speaker 2: At eight for sure.
- 27:46Speaker 3: So it is going to be Louisville and Oregon State
- 27:48Speaker 3: first game in Omaha. It's gonna be Arizona and Coastal
- 27:51Speaker 3: Carolina first.
- 27:52Speaker 2: Game in Omaha.
- 27:53Speaker 3: As we mentioned, it's gonna be LSU in Arkansas, which
- 27:56Speaker 3: next seven. That's what we're gonna dive back into is
- 27:59Speaker 3: LSU and Arkansas. All but UTSA does not continue.
- 28:03Speaker 7: To magic Sad Beep.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Sad Beatpep because who parlay would have been beat Beep.
- 28:09Speaker 2: But it's okay, Sorry, good season for UTSA.
- 28:12Speaker 3: UCLA wins that two games to nothing, say, sweep the
- 28:17Speaker 3: road Runners. It sets up a matchup with the winner
- 28:20Speaker 3: of Duke and Murray State. Murray State, Man, I don't
- 28:22Speaker 3: know if y'all had a chance to watch that game yesterday.
- 28:25Speaker 7: Crazy.
- 28:25Speaker 2: I mean, they just I think it was.
- 28:27Speaker 3: The seventh I believe it was the seventh inning where
- 28:30Speaker 3: they just went just mammoth blast, like four in that
- 28:35Speaker 3: one inning alone, and like nothing cheap about any of them.
- 28:38Speaker 3: They win nineteen to nine, and now they're gonna be
- 28:40Speaker 3: playing I believe that game Crazy State.
- 28:43Speaker 2: By the way, runs scored every year.
- 28:47Speaker 7: Lord, actually, I feel like it's pretty crazy this season.
- 28:51Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, there's ball scores eighteen to two. Yeah,
- 28:56Speaker 2: it was crazy.
- 28:56Speaker 3: Eighteen two, nineteen nine. That was shoes score in sixteen twelve.
- 29:01Speaker 3: So yeah, the hitters have definitely locked in. Maybe the
- 29:04Speaker 3: warmer weather all's traveling a little bit farther.
- 29:07Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 29:07Speaker 3: I like it though, you know, I could appreciate it
- 29:11Speaker 3: go two to one game for sure, but also like, hey,
- 29:14Speaker 3: let's go score some runs.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Don't feel like you're gonna get any.
- 29:18Speaker 3: No, No, I don't think Omahall plays a little bit bigger,
- 29:21Speaker 3: but we'll see. But that game is going to be
- 29:24Speaker 3: at six pm tonight, Duke and Murray state to see
- 29:27Speaker 3: who plays UCLA. And when we come back, we break
- 29:31Speaker 3: down LSU's game number one, because we already know it
- 29:34Speaker 3: is going to be against a team that we all
- 29:37Speaker 3: know very well, a team that you already played this year.
- 29:41Speaker 3: Two teams that know each other very well. And we'll
- 29:43Speaker 3: break it all down when we come back here on

- 31:15Speaker 4: Oregon State baseball team travel twenty three thousand, four hundred
- 31:20Speaker 4: and sixty five miles during their regular season, playing thirty
- 31:23Speaker 4: five road and neutral site games.
- 31:26Speaker 3: Is that a lot of thirty five road or neutral
- 31:28Speaker 3: site man? And like, I think they're one of their
- 31:34Speaker 3: neutral sites. Was basically like they played a team in
- 31:38Speaker 3: like the bigger park in there in the same city
- 31:40Speaker 3: that the team plays in or something.
- 31:43Speaker 2: So yeah, shout out to the beast. Be like pseudo
- 31:47Speaker 2: beaver be.
- 31:49Speaker 3: I'm trying to think, like in the field, right, it's like,
- 31:53Speaker 3: all right, you've got Louisville, Oregon State, Arizona Coastal.
- 32:02Speaker 2: You see LA.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Like there's not like that, you know, like Tennessee's not
- 32:06Speaker 3: in there some of the other rivals for l s
- 32:08Speaker 3: U outside of the one that you're playing.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so obviously, like.
- 32:12Speaker 5: Who's on your side of the bracket, like we know,
- 32:14Speaker 5: we know who Game one is. What you're about to
- 32:16Speaker 5: get into what I got it right here?
- 32:19Speaker 6: So and then it's so U C l A and
- 32:25Speaker 6: whoever wins Maurice State and Duke is on your side.
- 32:28Speaker 5: Okay, if L s U can't get out of their side,
- 32:30Speaker 5: Coastal Carolina is the team for me, easily.
- 32:33Speaker 3: Coastal Carolina in the bottom four though, I think if
- 32:36Speaker 3: you're looking at it, it and and the bottom is
- 32:39Speaker 3: Arizona Coastal.
- 32:42Speaker 2: Oh true, L s U Arkansas.
- 32:45Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go. Arizona's my number two. They're my
- 32:49Speaker 4: number two.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Because they're well hydrated. All right, they're scrappy.
- 32:53Speaker 3: I remember Arizona football was so so so bad right
- 32:58Speaker 3: before they got really good, and they were playing Scenego State.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Sanguo State was coming.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Off like in a ten or eleven win season or something,
- 33:05Speaker 3: and I'm obviously I'm biased towards the Aztecs. Worked out
- 33:08Speaker 3: there a ton during the lockout when I was in
- 33:10Speaker 3: San Diego. Shout out Tony Gwynn, Steven Strasburg. Yeah, I
- 33:17Speaker 3: got any other Marshall Falk Why Leonard, there's four heap
- 33:22Speaker 3: cuts really deep?
- 33:23Speaker 2: Are you still talking about that college again? Yep.
- 33:26Speaker 3: Anyways, they were playing football and we were in a
- 33:28Speaker 3: group chat and Flint's like, take Arizona, my butt. Have
- 33:31Speaker 3: you seen them play? Have you seen San Diego State?
- 33:33Speaker 3: Have you seen Arizona? They just trust me.
- 33:35Speaker 2: Take him.
- 33:36Speaker 3: I'm like, this guy's got inside information. Okay, all right,
- 33:39Speaker 3: I'm just crushing it, Like what are you doing? They
- 33:43Speaker 3: were hydrated and they won the game, like not even close.
- 33:47Speaker 3: I think Arizona kind of ran away with it. They
- 33:48Speaker 3: kind of they kind of three years ago, four years
- 33:50Speaker 3: ago something they did. They got really good. They got
- 33:52Speaker 3: what was it four years ago? Three years ago?
- 33:54Speaker 4: They started like just being scrabbed that I can't remember
- 33:56Speaker 4: the quarterback's name, but yeah, grap people. Yeah, and then
- 34:02Speaker 4: the coach took the job in Washington. Yeah right, yep,
- 34:06Speaker 4: look at you for last year. I know, Washington Mascot
- 34:10Speaker 4: Huskies hydrated. Yes, yes, man, you really trick some people.
- 34:16Speaker 3: I mean, do you really need to be hydrated up
- 34:18Speaker 3: in the Pacific Northwest?
- 34:20Speaker 2: So that's that's the thing.
- 34:21Speaker 5: I was just thinking, do you send them like half
- 34:23Speaker 5: the amount of the southern teams and it's not nearly
- 34:26Speaker 5: as charge of.
- 34:27Speaker 2: The same, then charge of the same send them bus. Yes,
- 34:30Speaker 2: I mean it's a premium product up there in the Northwest.
- 34:33Speaker 2: All right. I was just I mean, good for you
- 34:36Speaker 2: though you got them.
- 34:37Speaker 4: I saw, actually you brought up Tony gwen I saw
- 34:39Speaker 4: random Tony Gwynn's stat the other day on social media.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, you sent that in the group. Okay,
- 34:47Speaker 2: all right, it is something ridiculous.
- 34:51Speaker 4: As many assists by a basketball assist in college ye
- 34:56Speaker 4: as he did strikeouts and his like entire two.
- 34:59Speaker 2: Major major career, it was like four hundred and twenty six.
- 35:02Speaker 2: A lot of people don't even remember he played college
- 35:04Speaker 2: basketball until you sent that text.
- 35:07Speaker 4: Yeah, so as many college assists in basketball as it
- 35:11Speaker 4: did strikeouts and how many twenty of your career top.
- 35:15Speaker 3: Five purest hitters in baseball history. Yeah, I'm not talking
- 35:18Speaker 3: about power and all that.
- 35:20Speaker 2: We needn't hit a lot of home runs, but just
- 35:21Speaker 2: straight hitters.
- 35:23Speaker 3: I mean great Man too, like I had, you know,
- 35:26Speaker 3: the great fortune of meeting him a bunch of times
- 35:28Speaker 3: in San Diego. Some was great. So shout out Tony Gwynn.
- 35:31Speaker 3: I didn't expect to find ourselves here. But before we
- 35:34Speaker 3: are for the second hour, see if we can get
- 35:37Speaker 3: five more Tony gwyn mentions before the end of the show.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Let's take a look back May the ninth, May tenth,
- 35:44Speaker 3: and May eleventh, Arkansas came to baton Rouge. You won
- 35:50Speaker 3: the series two games to one. You took the first
- 35:52Speaker 3: two games of this series. You had the first victory
- 35:56Speaker 3: if you all remember, five to.
- 35:57Speaker 2: Four in ten innings.
- 35:59Speaker 3: Then you run un rule of Arkansas thirteen to three
- 36:02Speaker 3: and seven innings, and then you lose the finale seven
- 36:05Speaker 3: to four to the Razorbacks. And so Arkansas is a
- 36:09Speaker 3: team that you know very well. Even if you would
- 36:11Speaker 3: not have played them, you know them very well. It's
- 36:13Speaker 3: a team that certainly has been you know, for not
- 36:17Speaker 3: winning a championship, a blue blood in baseball over the
- 36:22Speaker 3: last decade. And if you want to, you know, argue
- 36:25Speaker 3: about can you be a blue blood if you don't
- 36:27Speaker 3: win a national championship. I'm here for that argument. I
- 36:29Speaker 3: can listen to it. But they've been highly successful. We
- 36:33Speaker 3: all know that the only thing they are missing is
- 36:35Speaker 3: that national championship. And they wear a foul ball away
- 36:38Speaker 3: from beating Oregon State and winning that national championship. They
- 36:42Speaker 3: don't catch it. The Beavers get another life. They go
- 36:44Speaker 3: win a national championship. But when you look at the
- 36:48Speaker 3: tail of the tape, if you were going to match
- 36:52Speaker 3: up with a team that everybody loves like Arkansas, right,
- 36:54Speaker 3: I still think there's advantages for LSU. I think you
- 36:58Speaker 3: have the mental advantage of knowing that you won the
- 37:00Speaker 3: series against them earlier. Right, It's going to be an
- 37:04Speaker 3: electric crowd in omahall between these two teams. I mean,
- 37:08Speaker 3: Arkansas's fans are certainly going to find their way to Omaha.
- 37:11Speaker 3: We know l s U fans are going to be there.
- 37:14Speaker 3: Like if you said, hey, give me two fan bases
- 37:17Speaker 3: that can make the most rowdy crowd in Omaha, Nebraska,
- 37:22Speaker 3: I would say, these two playing against each.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Other, you're gonna you would match fan base up as
- 37:28Speaker 2: a top two I think I think it's I think
- 37:31Speaker 2: it's L s U.
- 37:32Speaker 3: Arkansas and Mississippi State are the only three in the
- 37:37Speaker 3: conversation love that right in Arkansas's obviously like compared to
- 37:41Speaker 3: where it's at for Omaha, Like they're gonna be there,
- 37:44Speaker 3: They're gonna they gonna be doing their ritual, They're gonna
- 37:47Speaker 3: be calling them hogs bo I.
- 37:48Speaker 4: Mean, from from like a little bit of a baseball outsider,
- 37:52Speaker 4: I would have thought Tennessee would have been in there,
- 37:54Speaker 4: just because I guess, like the.
- 37:56Speaker 3: Tennessee's new blood. Tennessee had no Tennessee's like Tennessee won
- 38:04Speaker 3: the lottery and got rich quick. Yeah, now they're spending
- 38:07Speaker 3: all their money on stupid stuff and they don't know
- 38:09Speaker 3: what to do with it, you.
- 38:10Speaker 2: Know what I mean, They sure don't know how to
- 38:11Speaker 2: act that what I'm.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Saying, right, and so like their stadium is still not
- 38:15Speaker 3: anywhere close to as big as like the ones that
- 38:17Speaker 3: we're talking about, Like I would go like L s U, Arkansas,
- 38:21Speaker 3: Mississippi State, and they look, you can argue with a
- 38:23Speaker 3: wall with what the order is. Obviously we're gonna say
- 38:25Speaker 3: L s U's number one, because well, attendance shows that
- 38:28Speaker 3: they're number one, but if you want to make an argument,
- 38:30Speaker 3: those are the only two that I think can even
- 38:32Speaker 3: be in the same conversation. So my point is it's good,
- 38:36Speaker 3: like you're not gonna have to fake enthusiasm enthusiasm like
- 38:40Speaker 3: anything in this series.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Like it's gonna be real juice.
- 38:44Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you could tell the emotion that Arkansas had,
- 38:48Speaker 4: but I mean their their stadium was wild this weekend.
- 38:52Speaker 2: I caught I caught a.
- 38:52Speaker 4: Little bit of the game, a little bit of the
- 38:54Speaker 4: games there and why to that's not about that. Okay,
- 38:59Speaker 4: did you see did you see like the emotion the
- 39:04Speaker 4: head coach had, like after the game?
- 39:07Speaker 2: You don't see I mean, he's pretty much.
- 39:08Speaker 7: Like you don't see Horn?
- 39:10Speaker 4: Sorry, but I do, especially like winning when you still
- 39:13Speaker 4: have like the biggest games to play ahead of you,
- 39:15Speaker 4: like showing that emotion so like that you could tell
- 39:18Speaker 4: that they were in for one, a crazy environment like
- 39:22Speaker 4: the home team is behind him, but for two like
- 39:25Speaker 4: they did not like Tennessee.
- 39:27Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, just like y'all said. And nobody
- 39:31Speaker 2: was an assistant for da Van Horn for a decade.
- 39:34Speaker 5: Yeah, well, and then they got into at a little
- 39:36Speaker 5: little situation last season they did as well, So this
- 39:39Speaker 5: is carried over for about a year and now.
- 39:41Speaker 6: Liked so and everyone's all mad because Canon People's got
- 39:44Speaker 6: ejected last weekend in the regional so he didn't play
- 39:49Speaker 6: uh this weekend, and then Zach Route was kind of
- 39:52Speaker 6: mouthing off the yeah yeah, and he didn't get ejected.
- 39:59Speaker 6: So then like everybody at Tennessee's all butt her because
- 40:02Speaker 6: Canon People.
- 40:03Speaker 2: Was it's gonna be online.
- 40:05Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 40:05Speaker 6: It was kind of like, well but even Cannon's dad
- 40:08Speaker 6: was saying stuff like yeah.
- 40:12Speaker 2: It Zach is that his name?
- 40:14Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so you know when he came off and
- 40:16Speaker 4: yelling and popping off, if it was if it was
- 40:19Speaker 4: against anybody else, we'd be like, that's.
- 40:22Speaker 2: A little excepted, that's a little bit nice.
- 40:23Speaker 4: They probably probably do something, but like probably from coast
- 40:26Speaker 4: to coast in the court of public opinion, everyone was like, yeah, yeah.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Let him know.
- 40:35Speaker 5: If you play the villain and you're good at it,
- 40:37Speaker 5: it's fun if he struggle a little bit like this year.
- 40:43Speaker 6: And also, you can't act that way and then get
- 40:46Speaker 6: butt hurt when people act that way back they're.
- 40:48Speaker 5: So I still will never believe that Tony Fatilla is
- 40:52Speaker 5: five to ten I don't care what his bio says.
- 40:57Speaker 2: His bio says five ten. That's a fellow short king.
- 41:00Speaker 2: I'm five to ten. He wrote that himself.
- 41:02Speaker 5: To five to seven, come on, plus he gives all
- 41:07Speaker 5: five to seven vibes. Right, Oh, I'm sorry, it says
- 41:09Speaker 5: five eleven, five nights.
- 41:14Speaker 2: That's like me. That's I'm six foot in the program.
- 41:17Speaker 4: I've never even thought about his height, but yeah, this
- 41:19Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense right now.
- 41:20Speaker 2: I didn't know he was a short dude. Yeah, he
- 41:23Speaker 2: sure fell shy.
- 41:24Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, speaking of zach Rute, when we come back,
- 41:30Speaker 3: that's probably who you're going to see when the Tigers
- 41:33Speaker 3: take on the Hogs in Omaha. We'll break down how

- 44:35Speaker 2: Mmm. He hates it.
- 44:37Speaker 7: It's terrible states.
- 44:38Speaker 2: I mean, the Wine area is pretty good.
- 44:41Speaker 3: That's some good times there that I've heard you complain
- 44:44Speaker 3: about the state of California so many for the rest
- 44:47Speaker 3: of it. Okay, uh, the first time you played Arkansas,
- 44:52Speaker 3: Zach Route six inn pitch, five hits, two runs, both earned,
- 44:57Speaker 3: struck out six, Kate Anderson five two thirds, seven hits,
- 45:01Speaker 3: three runs, three earned, one walk, ten strikeouts. If you remember,
- 45:06Speaker 3: Zach Cowen came into that game, pitched three innings, only
- 45:09Speaker 3: gave up two hits, no runs, two walks, three strikeouts, And.
- 45:14Speaker 2: It just reminded me that you're going to need Zach
- 45:16Speaker 2: Cowen to be in this form if you want to
- 45:19Speaker 2: go win a national Take I.
- 45:20Speaker 7: Say, we need that Zach Cowen back.
- 45:23Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 45:24Speaker 3: I think you have to have that version of him.
- 45:26Speaker 3: And so again, look, you've gotten this done. You go
- 45:30Speaker 3: to game number two, Anthony Janson. He pitched six innings,
- 45:33Speaker 3: he didn't give up a run, he struck out eleven.
- 45:35Speaker 3: You have the starting pitcher advantage against Arkansas.
- 45:41Speaker 2: Go get it done.
- 45:42Speaker 3: We're gonna continue to break down obviously that game coming
- 45:45Speaker 3: up in Omahall more throughout the show, but when we
- 45:48Speaker 3: come back a little weekend winners here on O t
- 45:52Speaker 3: b
