- 2:00Speaker 6: Piss hot.
- 2:01Speaker 8: Look look, look luke warmon best right now, right hand
- 2:04Speaker 8: to God, right hand to God. I was just trying
- 2:06Speaker 8: to make sure you know.
- 2:10Speaker 4: I'm scanning.
- 2:11Speaker 8: I'm scanning.
- 2:12Speaker 7: Hey, I know, we're like watching a baseball game later.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Okay, but you know why football pants don't have pockets,
- 2:20Speaker 4: no place to put all.
- 2:21Speaker 8: Those excuses, good good coach speak, you.
- 2:24Speaker 6: Know what I mean.
- 2:26Speaker 7: Baseball's got them no pockets and football pants.
- 2:29Speaker 8: And and they wear little oven mits on their hands.
- 2:31Speaker 6: Now you know, Yeah, they don't put those excuses. They
- 2:33Speaker 6: put other myths.
- 2:35Speaker 7: You love the oven terrible.
- 2:39Speaker 6: I hate them them. They're so dumb. Went off.
- 2:42Speaker 7: Well, he wasn't here last week, the week before that, we.
- 2:44Speaker 8: Went off on on the little of e mits slide hits.
- 2:47Speaker 6: It's the only thing bad about baseball right now. The
- 2:49Speaker 6: rest of it's great.
- 2:50Speaker 8: The rest of it's great.
- 2:52Speaker 6: I'm a new fan, did you know that? A new baseball,
- 2:54Speaker 6: brand new fan.
- 2:56Speaker 4: It's going to be great once the the game starts back.
- 2:59Speaker 4: Certainly did not have on the bingo car to come
- 3:01Speaker 4: in here today, start the show and be talking about
- 3:05Speaker 4: a game that's going to start at ten am Central time.
- 3:08Speaker 4: As soon as we finish up. We're leading, basically, we're.
- 3:14Speaker 7: Leading into the game.
- 3:16Speaker 4: LSU is up right now five to three, so top
- 3:20Speaker 4: of the fourth inning. It will resume later on today,
- 3:23Speaker 4: But it does change some of the dynamic. Certainly the
- 3:30Speaker 4: loser has another game today against Arkansas, Arkansas big winner.
- 3:35Speaker 4: It feels like, I mean, so you got the team
- 3:37Speaker 4: that's got a game that's only in the fourth inning now,
- 3:40Speaker 4: and UCLA is definitely a bi committee team. They've already
- 3:44Speaker 4: gotten into their bullpen. LSU will because of the delay,
- 3:48Speaker 4: but who knows who they have to use today right
- 3:53Speaker 4: either team, But certainly, like if you're UCLA and let's
- 3:55Speaker 4: say you don't come back, who do you have to
- 3:58Speaker 4: use to try to keep the game close, to try
- 4:00Speaker 4: to you know, make that run to win the game,
- 4:01Speaker 4: and then oh yeah, you got another game later on today.
- 4:05Speaker 4: So Arkansas, who didn't have to use a single soul
- 4:08Speaker 4: out of the bullpen yesterday, shout out, we'll get there,
- 4:12Speaker 4: probably probably gonna be pretty happy with what's going on
- 4:16Speaker 4: and there being another game today, and then the team
- 4:19Speaker 4: that wins this game, who is going to have a
- 4:21Speaker 4: full day's rest, Well now that's out the window as well.
- 4:25Speaker 9: Yeah, if you do a little quick search on social
- 4:28Speaker 9: media or anywhere on the internet, Arkansas's feeling pretty confident
- 4:33Speaker 9: just because of this little, one little rain delay. They
- 4:37Speaker 9: basically feel like they've already got this game one. Then
- 4:41Speaker 9: they think roots coming back to play the elimination game.
- 4:44Speaker 6: So yeah, they're feeling pretty confident. I was.
- 4:46Speaker 9: I was kind of shocked at how confident the vibes
- 4:49Speaker 9: were coming from the Arkansas fan base. And they're in
- 4:52Speaker 9: their beat writers and so you know, yes, win or lose,
- 4:58Speaker 9: you know, we're in for it.
- 4:59Speaker 4: Parent some of the p they cover Arkansas, we're feeling
- 5:01Speaker 4: pretty fat and cocky before the LSU game as well. Yeah,
- 5:05Speaker 4: I know, uh yeah, we were. We were got John
- 5:08Speaker 4: Nabors that we see at media day. I think he
- 5:10Speaker 4: said eight to two Hogs was going to be the
- 5:12Speaker 4: score for the first l Shue game. He also said,
- 5:16Speaker 4: coach cal is in the building, No way the Hogs
- 5:18Speaker 4: lose today.
- 5:19Speaker 7: They did.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Uh So, yeah, they're no, they're they're a confident group
- 5:22Speaker 4: and I understand why.
- 5:23Speaker 7: I mean, a hell of a baseball team.
- 5:25Speaker 4: They threw a no hitter yesterday in the College suck.
- 5:29Speaker 8: Nineteen strikeouts too. That was that was the one that
- 5:31Speaker 8: had me like, damn nineteen strikeouts, Like.
- 5:34Speaker 4: Geez, unlike, you know, unlike the Braves who struck out
- 5:37Speaker 4: fifteen and lost ten to one.
- 5:40Speaker 9: I was looking at it. It says so uh gage
- 5:43Speaker 9: wood and get gackleed. They threw fifteen total innings of
- 5:46Speaker 9: shutout baseball, three hits in total of like two hundred
- 5:50Speaker 9: and eight pitches. Yeah, which is like one hit out
- 5:53Speaker 9: of every seventy times they throw that ball.
- 5:55Speaker 8: Wow, that's a crazy stat.
- 5:57Speaker 4: Right, I mean when there in between the two games,
- 6:01Speaker 4: thirty against thirty five strikeouts for Arkansas first in the
- 6:05Speaker 4: first two games, nineteen in the second sixteen against LSU.
- 6:10Speaker 4: But we're not here to talk about the Hogs. We'll
- 6:12Speaker 4: get there a little bit later we are here to
- 6:15Speaker 4: talk about the Tigers and got a little hairy there
- 6:19Speaker 4: to start the game off.
- 6:21Speaker 6: I wasn't real happy. We were. We were like it
- 6:23Speaker 6: was right at that time.
- 6:24Speaker 9: We were trying to sit down and feed the kids,
- 6:28Speaker 9: get the food in them real quick. So I we
- 6:30Speaker 9: just sit and watch the game, and I'm like watching
- 6:33Speaker 9: them while putting their food down, and I'm like slamming
- 6:35Speaker 9: their food down.
- 6:35Speaker 6: Like it quick.
- 6:37Speaker 9: So we don't have like a TV like where the
- 6:39Speaker 9: kitchen table is, right, but you can kind of like
- 6:41Speaker 9: see it around the corner. Yeah, so yeah, that seems
- 6:45Speaker 9: like it just drops some food. Yeah, it's a design
- 6:47Speaker 9: fall for sure. The builder of the house was not
- 6:50Speaker 9: interested in Tiger baseball at six game.
- 6:53Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, it's perfect.
- 6:54Speaker 9: Some food fell on the ground, spilled, some spilled some
- 6:58Speaker 9: of their beverage on the.
- 7:01Speaker 6: Might have been like no, daddy, no, Like, why are
- 7:03Speaker 6: you yelling at.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Me because the Tigers are down three to nothing, big
- 7:08Speaker 4: baseball fan, Bud, I'm proud of you.
- 7:10Speaker 7: I'm proud of you.
- 7:11Speaker 4: But the way they scored the three runs, I mean
- 7:13Speaker 4: it was one ball truly left you know the infield.
- 7:17Speaker 7: I know, one got through, but I mean it was
- 7:19Speaker 7: on the ground.
- 7:20Speaker 4: I mean it was just they were perfectly placing the
- 7:22Speaker 4: baseball right.
- 7:24Speaker 7: You got a swinging bun in there.
- 7:25Speaker 4: Now, Daniel Diginson did a hell of a job, saved
- 7:28Speaker 4: a run even though you didn't get it out in
- 7:30Speaker 4: one of those plays. But it just gosh, whenever that happens,
- 7:33Speaker 4: and you're like, oh my gosh, this West Coast baseball team,
- 7:36Speaker 4: that's what they want to do.
- 7:37Speaker 7: That's what they, you know, have always done.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Kind of just tier there, just swinging bunts infield hit
- 7:45Speaker 4: and you responded in a big way. And a guy
- 7:48Speaker 4: that not only us, but I mean everybody was getting
- 7:52Speaker 4: after a little bit at the Platinum Sombrero and Bear
- 7:55Speaker 4: Jones he had five strikeoutss like, hey, you got to
- 7:57Speaker 4: make an adjustment. You got to make an adjustment. It
- 8:00Speaker 4: he comes up in the bottom of the first inning.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Not only does he make that adjustment. Now he barely
- 8:06Speaker 4: got out, but I don't care barely. Whatever he got out,
- 8:10Speaker 4: he got up, he hits a three run to give
- 8:13Speaker 4: you the lead because he thought and I thought he
- 8:17Speaker 4: got it.
- 8:17Speaker 7: He got he sat there and.
- 8:23Speaker 6: Thank you, take the Lord.
- 8:25Speaker 7: And then it hits off the top of the wall.
- 8:26Speaker 4: But nonetheless it is a home run, and you that's
- 8:30Speaker 4: what you have to do.
- 8:30Speaker 7: You have to answer like immediately when that happens.
- 8:33Speaker 9: Yeah, did you just feel the pressure not off off
- 8:37Speaker 9: his back, but like the crowd right, did you just
- 8:40Speaker 9: feel it?
- 8:42Speaker 4: Showing his mom And he's like, if they keep showing her,
- 8:44Speaker 4: I'm gonna cry.
- 8:45Speaker 9: I know, but I mean, can you imagine your the
- 8:50Speaker 9: the amount of phone conversations hugs that like the there
- 8:55Speaker 9: and his parents have had, like says, hey, you're gonna
- 8:58Speaker 9: be the bear I know he is after that, Yeah,
- 9:03Speaker 9: after going five strikeouts, staying late, doing the extra work,
- 9:08Speaker 9: and finding a way to get out of his head.
- 9:12Speaker 9: We talked about it yesterday. Hitters, throwers, kickers, we're all
- 9:17Speaker 9: head cases when things aren't going right because you start overthinking, overthinking,
- 9:21Speaker 9: and that's the worst thing you can do in a reactionary,
- 9:25Speaker 9: fine motor skill type of sport is think about it,
- 9:29Speaker 9: and think about it.
- 9:30Speaker 4: In the baseball portion of it, we talk about it
- 9:32Speaker 4: all the time, Like for us being football meat, heeads
- 9:34Speaker 4: it's like, okay, well if I drop a pass, I
- 9:37Speaker 4: can come right back and Flynn might throw me another one.
- 9:40Speaker 4: You ready, if I missed the cut on you know,
- 9:45Speaker 4: lead stretch. Okay, well I'm going to come back in
- 9:47Speaker 4: this game. I'm going to run the same play and
- 9:49Speaker 4: if that cuts there, then I know I'm going to
- 9:51Speaker 4: get it and pretty quickly. Is my point for baseball.
- 9:54Speaker 4: We always talk about it. It's like, man, it is
- 9:56Speaker 4: lonely up there in the batter's box, certainly when it's
- 9:58Speaker 4: not going your way, and if it doesn't go your way,
- 10:01Speaker 4: sometimes you got to wait about forty five minutes where
- 10:03Speaker 4: you get another opportunity. And you could feel all of
- 10:06Speaker 4: that right when he's up in the batter's box, the opportunity,
- 10:10Speaker 4: what the score was, you know who he's been his
- 10:13Speaker 4: entire career, but certainly has been struggling.
- 10:16Speaker 7: And then he hits the baseball. Now he knew it.
- 10:20Speaker 4: I don't know that a lot of us knew it
- 10:22Speaker 4: because the wind.
- 10:23Speaker 6: Is the only reason that we knew it was watching him.
- 10:27Speaker 7: That's the only reason. Yeah, he smiled at the baseball.
- 10:30Speaker 9: Because they looked like, I mean, it was pretty high.
- 10:31Speaker 9: He smiled at it. He just walked it off and
- 10:34Speaker 9: I was like, did he get it? And then like
- 10:37Speaker 9: you couldn't tell by the outfielder, he was kind of
- 10:39Speaker 9: like slowing down the corning truck, but it went she
- 10:44Speaker 9: creeped over there, creeped over that wall.
- 10:46Speaker 4: You add another run to make it five to three.
- 10:49Speaker 4: And so now the conversation is going to be, but
- 10:54Speaker 4: do you put on the mount? So Anthony Jinsen, we
- 10:56Speaker 4: know it's baseball. Look, it's not little league baseball. Coaching
- 10:59Speaker 4: gets out there. Uh he arm circles exactly. He is done.
- 11:05Speaker 4: So now you have a couple of options to who
- 11:09Speaker 4: you want to go out there, because this game is
- 11:12Speaker 4: massive win and you don't play later today lose. You
- 11:17Speaker 4: play later today with a team that is uber confident
- 11:21Speaker 4: and a team that didn't have to use anybody at
- 11:24Speaker 4: the bullpen yesterday. Right, So, I mean the obvious is
- 11:27Speaker 4: any game in omahall, but certainly in this situation, Chase Shores,
- 11:32Speaker 4: Cason Evans, Zach Cowen. You've got some options, Taylor. I
- 11:37Speaker 4: don't like when you make that face. Why is that face?
- 11:40Speaker 1: I don't want them to through Case and Evans today, Okay,
- 11:43Speaker 1: because there's a chance you got to play a do
- 11:45Speaker 1: or die game later today if you don't win this
- 11:47Speaker 1: one and you gotta play tomorrow. I would rather Case
- 11:50Speaker 1: and Evans start a full game, it's just me, but you.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Got Chase Shores.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Cooper Williams has been really good if you want to
- 11:57Speaker 1: throw a lefty at him, like I think you can
- 12:00Speaker 1: piece this thing together. You got a two run lead,
- 12:03Speaker 1: go with case you want to.
- 12:04Speaker 4: Go to somebody that has length to them though, because.
- 12:07Speaker 2: I would, I would like to. And that's that's the
- 12:10Speaker 2: difference between the thing.
- 12:11Speaker 4: If you patch it together and go one any one,
- 12:13Speaker 4: any one inning and you lose, You've got another game
- 12:18Speaker 4: later tonight.
- 12:19Speaker 1: And that that's that's the risk you take. I mean,
- 12:21Speaker 1: that's that's the worst part about a rain delay.
- 12:24Speaker 9: I guess the good part is we're we're spotted to
- 12:27Speaker 9: two runs right now, so the mindset probably changes a
- 12:30Speaker 9: little bit. But that's what makes the College World Series
- 12:32Speaker 9: like so intriguing is that it is not only that
- 12:35Speaker 9: the match between teams, that's the matchup between head coaches.
- 12:38Speaker 9: It's like how much because the goal is to win
- 12:41Speaker 9: it all. The goal is not to win today at
- 12:44Speaker 9: ten oh three am, right, the goal is to win
- 12:46Speaker 9: it all. So you do have to game plan and
- 12:50Speaker 9: think ahead, think one, two, three games ahead. But that's
- 12:53Speaker 9: what makes it so intriguing is how how many pitches?
- 12:56Speaker 9: It's you know, are you throwing a reliever in there
- 12:58Speaker 9: on a pitch count because he's you know, he could
- 13:00Speaker 9: go again tomorrow. I mean, those are the matchups that, like,
- 13:04Speaker 9: just as a sports fan, I find like so so entertaining. Yeah,
- 13:10Speaker 9: because you know, no matter what, if it doesn't work out,
- 13:14Speaker 9: you know, fans have something to you know, complain about
- 13:18Speaker 9: or judge or critique or whatever. But then you the coach,
- 13:21Speaker 9: gets celebrated. But so it's it's not only like the
- 13:23Speaker 9: pitching and batter matchups, but it's the head coach matchups
- 13:26Speaker 9: that it's so great.
- 13:27Speaker 6: And we got a proven dude.
- 13:29Speaker 4: There's a lot of different options, man, It's it's gonna
- 13:32Speaker 4: be highly intriguing with how Jay goes out there to
- 13:35Speaker 4: resume this game in the top of the fourth. And
- 13:37Speaker 4: by the way, Hunt, I see you in the chat.
- 13:38Speaker 4: We're gonna call call you here in a second. You
- 13:41Speaker 4: shouldn't have said hello in the chat. That's on you.
- 13:46Speaker 4: Jenoy Chase Shores to speed the bats up a little bit, yeah,
- 13:51Speaker 4: and then Zach Cowen to come in.
- 13:54Speaker 2: You could only use Shores and Calent.
- 13:56Speaker 4: That would be think that's that's the recipe that I'm
- 13:59Speaker 4: voting for.
- 14:00Speaker 2: That'd be great because that way schors.
- 14:01Speaker 4: To get you to the seventh. Cal want to finish
- 14:04Speaker 4: it up.
- 14:04Speaker 1: That way, whether you win or lose either tonight tomorrow
- 14:07Speaker 1: you have Case and Evans, you have Cooper Williams, you
- 14:09Speaker 1: have Jaden Newt.
- 14:11Speaker 2: You basically have everybody except those two guys.
- 14:13Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Again, it's not the ideal situation to be able to
- 14:19Speaker 4: go out there, you're feeling it, you got the lead
- 14:21Speaker 4: and then shut it down, and now you got to
- 14:23Speaker 4: come back and you play in less than three hours.
- 14:26Speaker 6: Yeah, and I'd like to talk about that maybe coming
- 14:28Speaker 6: back from break.
- 14:29Speaker 4: It's is. It's got a radio teas.
- 14:31Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm kind of a pro, so it's not a
- 14:33Speaker 6: big deal.
- 14:35Speaker 9: I'd like to talk with you just from like a
- 14:37Speaker 9: former athlete standpoint, the mindset of Lego.
- 14:41Speaker 6: Would you rather have played late?
- 14:44Speaker 9: Yeah, or come back and play in the morning potentially
- 14:47Speaker 9: you know, one and a half games or a little
- 14:49Speaker 9: bit more than one and a half games in the
- 14:50Speaker 9: same day.
- 14:50Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll talk about that again. Hunt, I'm not kidding.
- 14:53Speaker 4: Get ready for a phone call around seven thirty. We'll
- 14:56Speaker 4: have Nick Underhill certainly later on in the show to
- 15:00Speaker 4: Little New Orleans Saints. We've got OTB mail bag, but
- 15:03Speaker 4: it's all about the Tigers on the dive d We'll
- 15:06Speaker 4: continue hitting LSU baseball as they get ready to resume

- 16:50Speaker 4: into it.
- 16:52Speaker 7: No, I wouldn't get a little freestyle Jordan.
- 16:54Speaker 4: Did he not feel like when you repeat yourself like
- 16:56Speaker 4: that on the be does it mean something?
- 16:58Speaker 8: When you hit the finished I was really like, okay.
- 17:03Speaker 10: Some bars. I was setting up, setting it up. You

- 18:11Speaker 4: you stayed up late, maybe if that game would have
- 18:14Speaker 4: been played last night, I would have to go see

- 18:17Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean what that's kind of like a nightmare situation.
- 18:21Speaker 9: Sometimes you get in your those libations, you got those
- 18:24Speaker 9: cocktails flowing for the game. Then it gets canceled, but
- 18:27Speaker 9: you're staying up so you keep it going. Then you're like,
- 18:30Speaker 9: oh no, I got to wake up early. Maybe maybe
- 18:33Speaker 9: calling sick from work and start doing it all over.
- 18:36Speaker 9: Maybe you're nauseous, nausia relief over it. You're not allowed
- 18:39Speaker 9: to be sick on this show.
- 18:41Speaker 6: Do you know that Go Flow nausea relief.
- 18:43Speaker 7: I did not. That's good to know, because is there
- 18:47Speaker 7: anything worse?
- 18:49Speaker 8: Like just nothing that's spinning, feeling like the room is
- 18:53Speaker 8: like you're sitting still, but the room is moving.
- 18:55Speaker 4: I need something to happen here and it's not.
- 18:57Speaker 8: Yeah, like it either has to come out. Yeah yeah,
- 19:00Speaker 8: go away, simple shout out to.
- 19:02Speaker 9: Go getting the started until now nothing you can do
- 19:04Speaker 9: about it. Now you can, all right.
- 19:09Speaker 4: You had a question going into break about mindset playing
- 19:14Speaker 4: last night, playing in the morning.
- 19:16Speaker 9: Yeah, so so Taylor and I were discussing this when
- 19:20Speaker 9: I came in today. It's like, you know, it's it
- 19:22Speaker 9: stinks from a when you look at it just right
- 19:25Speaker 9: off the cuff, It's like, man, you would rather have
- 19:28Speaker 9: during the rain delay. I know there's probably like a
- 19:30Speaker 9: lot of people have different opinions on how to appropriately
- 19:35Speaker 9: do this.
- 19:35Speaker 6: You move the games back, what do you do?
- 19:37Speaker 9: You got to keep the tournament on schedule, right, So
- 19:40Speaker 9: would you rather play the game started up at midnight,
- 19:46Speaker 9: play the game, finish it at you know, two in
- 19:48Speaker 9: the morning, three, and then whatever it ends up being,
- 19:50Speaker 9: what would you rather have them call it like they did,
- 19:54Speaker 9: wake up a little bit earlier and then have the
- 19:56Speaker 9: chance of playing a little over one and a half
- 19:58Speaker 9: games in the same day, and I think everybody's like, well,
- 20:03Speaker 9: it stinks, you got to do that. You gotta play now.
- 20:05Speaker 9: If you lose, you gotta play. You got to come
- 20:07Speaker 9: back and play at six pm. I would much rather
- 20:10Speaker 9: do that and then play a game till two or
- 20:13Speaker 9: three in the morning, okay, because as an athlete, like, yeah,
- 20:16Speaker 9: that's okay, all right, let's just say that the ninth
- 20:18Speaker 9: and it ends we win, or let's just say the
- 20:21Speaker 9: losing team loses and it's two am, two thirty. You're
- 20:25Speaker 9: not getting asleep, getting to sleep until six am. Probably, yeah,
- 20:30Speaker 9: because you gotta gotta come down. It takes hours to
- 20:34Speaker 9: come down from a game, right because you're so emotionally tied.
- 20:37Speaker 6: Up in it.
- 20:37Speaker 9: You gotta take showers, you gotta do me, you gotta
- 20:39Speaker 9: do all this stuff. Then you get in no sleep.
- 20:42Speaker 9: You're not getting to bed until twelve hours before you
- 20:44Speaker 9: know the next game. So I would rather then do
- 20:48Speaker 9: it and come back and play two games in one day,
- 20:51Speaker 9: then have to sit there and play a game till
- 20:53Speaker 9: two or three in the morning. And I don't know
- 20:55Speaker 9: if if everybody else feels that way.
- 20:58Speaker 7: So you would rather come back.
- 20:59Speaker 9: I would definitly on if there's already a rain delay,
- 21:02Speaker 9: of course I'd rather just like play through. But that
- 21:07Speaker 9: that's of starting it at midnight. Yeah, of course, a
- 21:10Speaker 9: normal rain delay, you're sorry an hour or two?
- 21:13Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I guess it does depends on when you
- 21:16Speaker 4: actually restart the game. Uh. I am a little bit
- 21:19Speaker 4: of a meathead, minus a little bit part. Uh So,
- 21:22Speaker 4: like when I get my mindset and my juice is
- 21:24Speaker 4: flowing and I'm ready to go, and I'm in that
- 21:26Speaker 4: mindset even though there is a delay, I do think
- 21:30Speaker 4: I want to go ahead and get back out there
- 21:32Speaker 4: and finish it. I'm at the ballpark, I'm in my uniform.
- 21:34Speaker 4: We've been here waiting for three hours on something. Give
- 21:38Speaker 4: me some news, and then all of a sudden, like
- 21:41Speaker 4: you've got this ultimate high and then they tell you, hey, hey, boys,
- 21:44Speaker 4: see you tomorrow morning. All right, it's it's eleven o'clock.
- 21:50Speaker 4: The game's at ten. Coach is probably gonna have us
- 21:52Speaker 4: here at the field in six hours. We're still here.
- 21:57Speaker 4: We got we look, we got a shower. We gotta
- 21:59Speaker 4: go hotel, We gotta get down from this high. We
- 22:03Speaker 4: gotta eat something. You're going to bad at two am
- 22:07Speaker 4: to be back at the ballpark at six am. So
- 22:09Speaker 4: for me, I would much rather let's go ahead, let's
- 22:13Speaker 4: play this thing. Let's play it. If we get done
- 22:16Speaker 4: at two am, that's fine. Like we'll still get more
- 22:19Speaker 4: rest if we lose this game and come back and
- 22:22Speaker 4: play against Arkansas a little bit later on.
- 22:24Speaker 8: Do you feel like y'all nerves would be worse the
- 22:26Speaker 8: next day, Like just the moment knowing that.
- 22:30Speaker 4: I'll this one, I'm mad because this is not this
- 22:34Speaker 4: is not me being Tommy tough Nuts. I promise you
- 22:37Speaker 4: nerves were not something.
- 22:39Speaker 6: Have you used that one before? Probably that's a good one.
- 22:43Speaker 4: Yeah, probably not Like, yeah, I've used that before for sure,
- 22:47Speaker 4: because nerves were never, never a part of my game.
- 22:50Speaker 4: They just they weren't. I get more nervous right now
- 22:53Speaker 4: watching my kids play eleven year old and nine year
- 22:57Speaker 4: old batting like in youth baseball than I did carrying
- 23:02Speaker 4: the football in any game that ever played it.
- 23:04Speaker 7: That's just the way it is.
- 23:05Speaker 4: It's like if my son Jackson's out there at left tackle,
- 23:09Speaker 4: I am a nervous wreck, like making sure he gets
- 23:11Speaker 4: his blocks for me. Not like people don't believe, like
- 23:15Speaker 4: not nervous. I'm just not a nervous person when I
- 23:17Speaker 4: play because I could control control.
- 23:20Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 23:20Speaker 4: Right, And so baseball though, with I mean just so
- 23:25Speaker 4: many moving parts. It's like, to Jordan's point, I'm sure
- 23:29Speaker 4: there's a lot of players that are overthinking a lot
- 23:33Speaker 4: of the situations that could play out that maybe already
- 23:35Speaker 4: did play out, and that's something that they have to control.
- 23:41Speaker 9: Yeah, So getting up for a game, like the the
- 23:46Speaker 9: mental preparation it takes, like the adrenaline pump everything. A
- 23:50Speaker 9: rain delay is the worst for an athlete at any level,
- 23:54Speaker 9: whether you're.
- 23:55Speaker 7: In the first ever game at LSU was a rain delay, No.
- 23:58Speaker 6: I know. It just takes all the juice out, takes
- 24:01Speaker 6: a momentum out.
- 24:03Speaker 9: But no, I I definitely I get where you're coming from.
- 24:07Speaker 6: It's like we're already there.
- 24:08Speaker 9: We got the uniform on, I got my EyeBlack on, Like,
- 24:13Speaker 9: you know what, let's let's just play it. Let's go,
- 24:16Speaker 9: let's go. But when you think about the logistics involved,
- 24:20Speaker 9: if you get done at too, the final out is
- 24:23Speaker 9: at two am, you are not getting to sleep until
- 24:26Speaker 9: the sun's out the next day. Yeah, there's just no
- 24:30Speaker 9: you got no shot at it, and to me, like
- 24:35Speaker 9: the mental gymnastics of that take precedent, like if I
- 24:38Speaker 9: can they call the game at what time? They call
- 24:40Speaker 9: the game ten o'clock? Yea, Like I'm sure at that
- 24:45Speaker 9: they were kind of being told before that. There's probably
- 24:48Speaker 9: a lot of communication like it's not looking good. It's
- 24:50Speaker 9: not looking good, so you know, Jay's probably doing this
- 24:52Speaker 9: thing like hey, stay ready, but like you know, it's
- 24:56Speaker 9: not things aren't looking great. You see that lightning above,
- 24:59Speaker 9: you know, so they probably got them home immediately. Potentially,
- 25:03Speaker 9: let's just say they can get to sleep by like midnight. Yeah,
- 25:07Speaker 9: all right, so you got to you gotta get a
- 25:09Speaker 9: little six hours. You can come back and you can
- 25:11Speaker 9: just completely reboot back into your same pregame routine.
- 25:17Speaker 6: And then, to me, double.
- 25:19Speaker 9: Headers like that's baseball, right, Baseball Double double headers are
- 25:23Speaker 9: a thing, right, So you stay there, you stay in
- 25:25Speaker 9: the middle, like the game readiness, the game preparation, the
- 25:28Speaker 9: game mindset all day and if you have to play
- 25:30Speaker 9: double header, I mean, adrenaline takes over that point.
- 25:33Speaker 6: You're playing an elimination game, yes.
- 25:35Speaker 1: As far as like nerves go, right, Like you're not
- 25:37Speaker 1: restarting from scratch either. About six innings you're spotted to
- 25:41Speaker 1: two run lead, right, go out there, hold on to
- 25:43Speaker 1: the lead, whatever you got to do.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Like, I think that actually helps.
- 25:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you this. I do know that there's
- 25:49Speaker 4: going to be you know, some point of emphasis things
- 25:53Speaker 4: for both head coaches to make sure their team's ready.
- 25:55Speaker 4: And look, you can't chase ghost. We always talk about
- 25:57Speaker 4: that here, don't chase, don't do too much. But when
- 26:01Speaker 4: it comes to mental games and being ready mentally, I'm
- 26:06Speaker 4: gonna bet on Jay Johnson.
- 26:07Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 26:09Speaker 4: And both these coaches have won the national championships, so
- 26:11Speaker 4: I'm not saying anything bad about that.
- 26:14Speaker 8: You're not a slouch.
- 26:15Speaker 4: But like we saw, like what Jay Johnson did with
- 26:18Speaker 4: Bear Jones, and we saw the video and he's sitting there,
- 26:20Speaker 4: he's talking like through the whole situation and you see
- 26:23Speaker 4: him using his hands and talk about here, and they're like,
- 26:27Speaker 4: I told you this last week.
- 26:29Speaker 6: Man.
- 26:30Speaker 4: I think actually it was I think it was either
- 26:32Speaker 4: Mikey or Anthony because you were going like I like
- 26:37Speaker 4: the first time I met Jay Johnson when he was
- 26:39Speaker 4: an assistant at the University of San Diego, I'm like,
- 26:41Speaker 4: all right, who's that guy. That guy's mindset is pretty
- 26:45Speaker 4: pretty awesome there. That was the Mikey Yeah. So I'm like,
- 26:48Speaker 4: I'm gonna count on him to mentally. Now, physically that's
- 26:52Speaker 4: got to take over once the first pitch resumes, but mentally, like,
- 26:55Speaker 4: Jay's gonna have the team ready to go.
- 26:57Speaker 9: And can I tell just let everybody be rest assured,
- 27:02Speaker 9: all Tiger fans, we are way more worried about the
- 27:07Speaker 9: situation than today and the team is. I can promise
- 27:10Speaker 9: you that we're gonna overthink this. Yeah, but Jay's already
- 27:14Speaker 9: played this situation out in his mind probably ten thousand times.
- 27:18Speaker 9: And these athletes, they're eighteen to twenty two year old
- 27:22Speaker 9: kids that don't care. They will go play in a
- 27:26Speaker 9: parking line if you ask them to. So we're gonna
- 27:28Speaker 9: overanalyze it. We're gonna think of what's the best, what
- 27:30Speaker 9: blah blah blah. We are going to be way more
- 27:32Speaker 9: worried about it than the Tigers out all right.
- 27:37Speaker 7: We are going to Cole call Haunt Palmer when we
- 27:41Speaker 7: come back. I don't know if you will chat. He better.
- 27:43Speaker 4: It's a station number you got to answer when work calls,
- 27:47Speaker 4: So we'll call Hunting.
- 27:48Speaker 7: He's boots on the ground in Omaha.
- 27:50Speaker 4: Get his thoughts on maybe what the situation is going
- 27:53Speaker 4: to be today, who he thinks is going to be

- 29:55Speaker 4: All right, Welcome back in to the pregame show of
- 29:58Speaker 4: LSU and UCLA not officially, but officially in our minds,
- 30:01Speaker 4: that is what we're calling this show, because that's what
- 30:04Speaker 4: it is. This is going to be at ten am,
- 30:09Speaker 4: a little bit after at ten am, And so we
- 30:11Speaker 4: co called somebody that's in Omaha. Somebody probably has like
- 30:15Speaker 4: seven jobs today and didn't want to do an eighth.
- 30:17Speaker 7: But here we are, Hunt, what's going on, sir? How
- 30:19Speaker 7: are we doing.
- 30:21Speaker 5: A little frustrated?
- 30:23Speaker 4: We're gonna be all right, all right, So just open
- 30:28Speaker 4: floor here, walk us through last night? What you would
- 30:31Speaker 4: have liked to seen from you know, the NC DOUBLEA,
- 30:35Speaker 4: How you would have liked to have this handle? Because
- 30:37Speaker 4: it sounds like you're not very happy, Hunt.
- 30:40Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not mad at anybody specifically. It's just
- 30:43Speaker 5: a very very bad break for the baseball team. Like
- 30:45Speaker 5: I was wrapping up my show yesterday at two fifty
- 30:50Speaker 5: and somebody put in the YouTube chat like the forecast
- 30:52Speaker 5: terrible for tonight. Like that's the first time I considered
- 30:56Speaker 5: the weather at all, and so I, you know, all
- 31:00Speaker 5: my stuff up in the room and then got in
- 31:02Speaker 5: the uber to go across to the stadium and sat
- 31:04Speaker 5: down in the radio boots and fired up two different
- 31:06Speaker 5: weather apps and I'm looking at this massive storm that
- 31:10Speaker 5: is right north of us, just bearing down. And it
- 31:13Speaker 5: was funny because Chris Flair, Bill Franks and I were
- 31:15Speaker 5: all looking at five different weather apps and like some
- 31:18Speaker 5: of it said, Yeah, this is gonna be really bad,
- 31:20Speaker 5: and some of it said like, oh, it's just gonna
- 31:21Speaker 5: miss it's gonna go north. Yeah, And so that you
- 31:25Speaker 5: knew it was a possibility. And you know, Aynson goes
- 31:28Speaker 5: out there and gets knocked around a little bit in
- 31:30Speaker 5: the first inning, but then kind of settled in and
- 31:32Speaker 5: he's two and three. And that's the advantage you have
- 31:35Speaker 5: on UCLA is you've got a guy here that's ready
- 31:37Speaker 5: to eat up five, six, seven innings and doesn't get
- 31:40Speaker 5: that chance. It's just it's a bad break. We don't
- 31:43Speaker 5: know what the weather's gonna hold today.
- 31:45Speaker 6: Uh.
- 31:45Speaker 5: And it may end up working out an LSU's favor
- 31:47Speaker 5: because I am Be was able to return more quickly
- 31:49Speaker 5: later in the week or whatever the case. You don't
- 31:51Speaker 5: know that the baseball is gonna it's gonna shake out.
- 31:54Speaker 5: But at LSU's big advantage on the field is these
- 31:56Speaker 5: two pitchers, and you just had that compromise in a
- 31:58Speaker 5: big way because he only goes three innings, and in
- 32:01Speaker 5: a way, that's like the worst possible outcomes. It be
- 32:04Speaker 5: goes one inning and those nine pitches, like he can
- 32:07Speaker 5: come back in like two days and take it back up.
- 32:10Speaker 5: It be goes five innings, Well, at least you've eaten
- 32:13Speaker 5: up half the game. Three is just like the worst.
- 32:16Speaker 5: You can't bounce right back, and he hasn't really taken
- 32:18Speaker 5: a big fight out of this game. So it's a
- 32:20Speaker 5: it's a tough break, yeah.
- 32:22Speaker 7: I mean it certainly is.
- 32:24Speaker 4: And you know, you know a little bit over forty
- 32:25Speaker 4: pitches there, so maybe in a couple of days you
- 32:27Speaker 4: come back. But right now you have to figure out
- 32:31Speaker 4: who is going back on the mound to start the
- 32:33Speaker 4: top of the fourth inning.
- 32:35Speaker 7: We've been talking about it here.
- 32:36Speaker 4: Obviously you're dialed in what would Hunt Palmer do if
- 32:40Speaker 4: Hunt Palmer was the manager. He's turning in the lineup
- 32:43Speaker 4: card today when this game resumes, who you going with?
- 32:48Speaker 5: I've given it a lot of thought. Initially, Right when
- 32:51Speaker 5: he put the tark on the field, my inclination was
- 32:54Speaker 5: Case and Evans, he's your possibility to go five innings
- 33:00Speaker 5: of great baseball, the best chance you got to win
- 33:03Speaker 5: this game. And move into a spot where somebody's got
- 33:06Speaker 5: to come beat you twice. I went in three games
- 33:07Speaker 5: in a pretty short amount of time, and as I've
- 33:11Speaker 5: thought about it a little bit more, I think that
- 33:13Speaker 5: you've got a little bit of margin prayer, because you've
- 33:15Speaker 5: got to win your backtock if you haven't lost the
- 33:17Speaker 5: game and you've got a two run lead. UCLA has
- 33:20Speaker 5: got six left handers in the lineup, Dax Bryanson, I
- 33:23Speaker 5: think it might not be the worst idea to put
- 33:25Speaker 5: Cooper Williams out there and see what he's got, and
- 33:27Speaker 5: if they hit two doubles and he walks the guy,
- 33:30Speaker 5: you can get somebody up and ready to go, and
- 33:32Speaker 5: you know you're still right there in the ball game.
- 33:34Speaker 5: So I feel like Cooper Williams has got a good
- 33:37Speaker 5: chance to throw strikes. I don't think it's going to
- 33:39Speaker 5: be some monster environment this morning that he can't handle.
- 33:42Speaker 5: I don't think it's going to be a backed house
- 33:43Speaker 5: at all at ten o'clock in the morning on a Tuesday,
- 33:47Speaker 5: and UCLA is not a terrifying lineup. So I would
- 33:50Speaker 5: probably go with Cooper Williams and hope that you get
- 33:52Speaker 5: something similar to his last time out where he goes
- 33:54Speaker 5: three or four innings, and if your offense packs on
- 33:57Speaker 5: three or four runs and all of a sudden you're
- 33:59Speaker 5: up five or in the game, maybe you can get
- 34:02Speaker 5: home with Myers and Rizzy and you stayed Case and
- 34:04Speaker 5: Evans for a big game. I think that that's I
- 34:07Speaker 5: think you're in a position right now where you can
- 34:08Speaker 5: be a little bit. Do you want to call that
- 34:12Speaker 5: aggressive by not sending Evans out there? Whatever the works
- 34:15Speaker 5: to that, But that's probably where I am right now.
- 34:17Speaker 5: But I'm not real sure what Day's going to do.
- 34:21Speaker 6: But the.
- 34:23Speaker 9: I want to know how it felt in the stadium
- 34:26Speaker 9: because I can tell you watching it on TV in
- 34:28Speaker 9: my living room, like the amount of relief that I
- 34:31Speaker 9: felt when Bear Jones walked up in the first inning
- 34:35Speaker 9: and hit the ball, solid contact over the fence, kind
- 34:39Speaker 9: of strutted off the strutted off the batter's box, Like,
- 34:43Speaker 9: did y'all also feel it in the stadium because it
- 34:45Speaker 9: looked like watching on TV because they kept showing his parents, like,
- 34:48Speaker 9: did it look like there was just this huge amount
- 34:50Speaker 9: of relief that would just lifted off the team or
- 34:52Speaker 9: the crowd or anything, like, how did it feel when
- 34:54Speaker 9: when he got up there with his struggles and swung
- 34:57Speaker 9: the bat like that.
- 34:59Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of layers to that. I mean, everybody
- 35:01Speaker 5: kind of saw that he'd got an extra work on
- 35:04Speaker 5: on Sunday afternoon and after practice for the whole team
- 35:06Speaker 5: had gone, and everybody knew that he went over if
- 35:08Speaker 5: I was five strikeouts, and it was a hot topic.
- 35:11Speaker 5: But he's still a really good hitter and really strong hitter.
- 35:14Speaker 5: And I'll be honest, like when he hit the ball,
- 35:16Speaker 5: I did not My eyes did not stay on him.
- 35:19Speaker 5: I watched the ball go and I'm programmed now having
- 35:22Speaker 5: seen it off baseball in that stadium. When the ball
- 35:24Speaker 5: gets up in the air right field, my expectations are
- 35:29Speaker 5: very low, Like I'm not thinking anybody's gonna get the
- 35:31Speaker 5: ballut of the ball fart there. I know how strong
- 35:33Speaker 5: he is. I assumed it would be caught probably short
- 35:36Speaker 5: of the track. And the right fielder kept going back
- 35:38Speaker 5: and kept going back, and kept going back, and then
- 35:39Speaker 5: jumped up and tipped off above and went over. And
- 35:41Speaker 5: I was pleasantly stunned when that happened, watching it on
- 35:45Speaker 5: the television highlight after his done, like you see, he
- 35:48Speaker 5: crushed that ball and then stood and watched he thought
- 35:51Speaker 5: he got it. So I'm doing from in the stadium
- 35:54Speaker 5: was different than what you were looking at on TV.
- 35:56Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, one, it's great for him to
- 35:59Speaker 5: have had that big stor kind of relieve a little pressure.
- 36:01Speaker 5: But two, you were losing and he puts you ahead
- 36:03Speaker 5: at one back, which is why he's in the line.
- 36:05Speaker 5: So that's that was the biggest thing.
- 36:08Speaker 4: So we know UCLA, like getting back to today, we
- 36:12Speaker 4: know that they are kind of a bi committee team
- 36:14Speaker 4: just by nature hunt So like this situation for them,
- 36:18Speaker 4: and they have a very deep bullpen, it actually is
- 36:21Speaker 4: not going to probably change a lot of what they
- 36:25Speaker 4: would have done if this game was resumed last night.
- 36:27Speaker 6: Right.
- 36:29Speaker 5: Right, I mean, I don't know if they can go
- 36:32Speaker 5: back to the leftie after he goes, you know, a
- 36:34Speaker 5: couple of outs there, maybe he's available a few hours
- 36:38Speaker 5: later to come back and give you what he's got.
- 36:39Speaker 5: But in the big picture, like this doesn't affect the
- 36:42Speaker 5: UCLA at all. They've got like seven guys who are
- 36:46Speaker 5: just solid pitchers. None of them are stars, none of
- 36:49Speaker 5: them are first round picks, with the exception maybe they're
- 36:51Speaker 5: closer as a freshman. Easton Hawk has got a good arm,
- 36:54Speaker 5: but he only throws one inning at a period, so
- 36:57Speaker 5: like you're not, they're not compromised anyway. They have a
- 37:01Speaker 5: a staff of what I would consider at this level,
- 37:03Speaker 5: especially considering what you saw against Arkansas of pretty mediocre dudes.
- 37:07Speaker 5: And they're just gonna keep rolling him out there. And
- 37:09Speaker 5: LSU's got to keep scoring. LSU needs to score eight, nine,
- 37:12Speaker 5: ten runs in this game. That's just the way that
- 37:15Speaker 5: I see it. If not, you're gonna be playing with fire.
- 37:19Speaker 4: And don't hit it's a short stop because my god,
- 37:23Speaker 4: I mean he's.
- 37:24Speaker 5: A player, old Rock Chilowski. He can he can play that.
- 37:27Speaker 5: I mean, you break up an eye look out of him.
- 37:29Speaker 5: But he's been awesome.
- 37:30Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 37:31Speaker 4: You you better be a dude with your your name
- 37:33Speaker 4: being rock even though he spells it with an H,
- 37:35Speaker 4: I don't care your name's rock.
- 37:37Speaker 6: Uh.
- 37:38Speaker 4: He's legit like everything you hear about him, and you
- 37:40Speaker 4: see like in the highlights like he put on display yesterday,
- 37:44Speaker 4: some of those plays that he was making like he
- 37:47Speaker 4: is a dude.
- 37:49Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he actually has more time than he
- 37:51Speaker 5: takes to get the fall over the first face like
- 37:53Speaker 5: the one that mad like he had a long time
- 37:56Speaker 5: and he just he just got rid of it instantly
- 37:59Speaker 5: in one hopit there and then godrinanez by two and
- 38:02Speaker 5: a half steps instead of the instead of the one.
- 38:04Speaker 5: But yeah, he's he's got good hands, good rains.
- 38:06Speaker 4: And he has plenty All right, Hunt, we appreciate answering
- 38:11Speaker 4: the cold call, just real quick, what do you expect
- 38:14Speaker 4: maybe from from the crowd, Like LSU fans gonna be
- 38:17Speaker 4: right back in there today, not even miss a beat,
- 38:20Speaker 4: Like I don't know what's the buzz at seven forty
- 38:22Speaker 4: three am when you got a first pitch at ten am.
- 38:25Speaker 5: I saw a couple in the elevator on the way
- 38:27Speaker 5: up last night when we got back to the hotel
- 38:29Speaker 5: right about eleven. I guess they said, yeah, they head
- 38:32Speaker 5: to right back out there. So there's a big local
- 38:35Speaker 5: element to these crowds, Like Omaha shows up for these games,
- 38:40Speaker 5: and I don't know that that's going to be there
- 38:42Speaker 5: at ten o'clock in the morning. It wasn't there in
- 38:45Speaker 5: a big way for the one o'clock game yesterday, So
- 38:48Speaker 5: it's gonna be, you know, a forty percent full stadium
- 38:51Speaker 5: I think this morning. That may be ambitious. The LSU
- 38:54Speaker 5: fans that have paid to come up here are going
- 38:55Speaker 5: to be there, but it's not the biggest LSU turnout
- 38:58Speaker 5: you've ever seen. I think that's ages if you win
- 39:01Speaker 5: today and find a way to win tomorrow or whenever
- 39:03Speaker 5: that game is played, because the weather forecast find a
- 39:05Speaker 5: way for today is not good at all. So we'll
- 39:08Speaker 5: see how much baseball they can get in. I think
- 39:09Speaker 5: LSU and U se la okay for ten o'clock. After that,
- 39:12Speaker 5: it's gonna be a little dicey. But yeah, I don't
- 39:15Speaker 5: expect the monster crowd. I think the LSU crew. I
- 39:18Speaker 5: think there's a big group that's waiting to come on
- 39:21Speaker 5: Thursday or Friday, and LSU can get to Saturday. We'll
- 39:24Speaker 5: see that that starts this morning.
- 39:26Speaker 9: And not to mention right the I'm sure during a
- 39:29Speaker 9: rain delay like that that went that long, I'm sure
- 39:31Speaker 9: the bars got packed again with the LSU fans. So
- 39:35Speaker 9: I'm sure it's gonna be a pretty early morning for
- 39:37Speaker 9: a lot of those because I'm sure.
- 39:38Speaker 4: They're all gonna look like varsity blues after they saw
- 39:41Speaker 4: Miss Davis perform. Oh yeah, and they come out of
- 39:44Speaker 4: said establishment and like we got a game today.
- 39:47Speaker 7: That's gonna be the LSU crowd Hunt.
- 39:50Speaker 5: Well, if we can get a win, I'll give it
- 39:51Speaker 5: a ten.
- 39:54Speaker 4: Well done, sir, Well done, Hunt. We appreciate answering, sir.
- 39:57Speaker 4: Enjoy the game and enjoy the festivities.
- 40:00Speaker 5: I'll only enjoy it if they win.
- 40:02Speaker 7: Thank Oh is Hunt back on the call?
- 40:08Speaker 6: Like?
- 40:08Speaker 7: Is he on the call for the entire run?
- 40:10Speaker 1: I believe he did it Saturday and last night?
- 40:14Speaker 7: Yeah, I figured he was just gonna like.
- 40:16Speaker 4: I didn't know if if Buzzy and Doug had, like,
- 40:19Speaker 4: you know, something going on. I figured with Doug some
- 40:22Speaker 4: youth sporting event like I probably would have, So I
- 40:25Speaker 4: didn't know.
- 40:26Speaker 7: So shout out to Hunt Man. Gotta be pretty cool
- 40:29Speaker 7: for Hunt.
- 40:30Speaker 4: Lifelong l s U baseball fan, uh works his way
- 40:33Speaker 4: through the media and now literally calling games on the
- 40:38Speaker 4: network he grew.
- 40:38Speaker 7: Up listening to in Omaha.
- 40:40Speaker 6: Absolutely crush.
