- 2:05Speaker 4: now that the flint's not.
- 2:06Speaker 5: Here, I've got some room to spread out. You know,
- 2:08Speaker 5: it's not so bad.
- 2:09Speaker 4: He didn't have his seventeen screens up there. God knows
- 2:12Speaker 4: what he's watching.
- 2:13Speaker 5: It's always some interesting stuff going on in those screens,
- 2:15Speaker 5: for sure.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Well, to say the least with that guy.
- 2:19Speaker 4: He's at he's in New Orleans. He's at a conference.
- 2:23Speaker 4: It was on the panel yesterday.
- 2:24Speaker 6: Yeah, for like the nutrician nutritional petitian.
- 2:28Speaker 4: After it was on the panel and the panel, Yeah,
- 2:31Speaker 4: they put him up there with other experts.
- 2:34Speaker 7: His buzzword was enzyme.
- 2:36Speaker 8: It just make you sound smart when you don't know
- 2:38Speaker 8: what you're talking about.
- 2:39Speaker 5: There's always some good words you can't throw out there
- 2:41Speaker 5: that'll do that for you.
- 2:42Speaker 7: Yeah, enzyme, and I was doing what he had. That's
- 2:45Speaker 7: a lipids. I don't know what that means.
- 2:47Speaker 5: On the micro nutrients or something.
- 2:50Speaker 7: Yeah, micro nutrients would make you sound.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Something, just sounds like really when you break down the
- 2:54Speaker 3: micro nutrients.
- 2:55Speaker 7: They really get into your enzymes.
- 2:59Speaker 3: So we don't know how it went.
- 3:00Speaker 4: He didn't tell it, Like if he would have crushed it,
- 3:02Speaker 4: he would have told us, but he didn't.
- 3:04Speaker 5: Probably true.
- 3:04Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know how well it went, but.
- 3:08Speaker 4: He's playing, so probably got a pretty good idea of
- 3:10Speaker 4: how it went. All right, Doc, So I was talking
- 3:13Speaker 4: with you earlier and I wanted to have a conversation
- 3:15Speaker 4: about and we hear this all of the time around
- 3:18Speaker 4: this time of year March through May in the National
- 3:20Speaker 4: Football League is injury prone. And I bring it up because, well,
- 3:25Speaker 4: Jordan Tyson, who's a Saint selected number eight overall, he
- 3:28Speaker 4: has that tag. And that was like the only reason
- 3:32Speaker 4: that people were kind of cautious during the draft because
- 3:34Speaker 4: for me and for a lot of people he was
- 3:36Speaker 4: no doubt the number one receiver in this class. Now
- 3:38Speaker 4: he didn't go as a top receiver Tennessee, so wildly
- 3:43Speaker 4: enough they take a receiver at four. But if Tyson
- 3:45Speaker 4: would have been healthy, he probably would have been in
- 3:47Speaker 4: that spot. Now, he didn't miss a ton of games.
- 3:50Speaker 4: But he's had different injuries. He's had an ACL he's
- 3:54Speaker 4: had a shoulder, he's had soft tissue hamstring stuff, and
- 3:59Speaker 4: he's got labeled injury prone. And so like as a doctor,
- 4:02Speaker 4: like when you hear something like that, and look, rookie
- 4:05Speaker 4: Minni caamp, he did great the first day. We didn't
- 4:07Speaker 4: seem the second day, and it was like the Saints
- 4:09Speaker 4: like this is maintenance, this is like a plan, so whatever.
- 4:13Speaker 4: But when you hear somebody's injury prone, do you buy into.
- 4:16Speaker 3: That or is it like you just got bad luck.
- 4:19Speaker 5: Well, it's a great question, Like you said, it is
- 4:21Speaker 5: one we get asked a lot. It is one that
- 4:23Speaker 5: comes up all the time. And if you want my
- 4:25Speaker 5: opinion is there is a little bit of truth to
- 4:27Speaker 5: both the things you just said. Some guys really are
- 4:29Speaker 5: injury prone. Yeah, and then sometimes I do think there's
- 4:31Speaker 5: bad luck. And how do you kind of navigate through that,
- 4:34Speaker 5: and that's where it gets really really difficult. And I
- 4:36Speaker 5: think I think even with injury prone, I think there's
- 4:38Speaker 5: two categories there. I think you have a guy who
- 4:40Speaker 5: had a really bad injury, and then you worry about
- 4:42Speaker 5: that injury specifically, so somebody that has a say, you know,
- 4:45Speaker 5: one of the classic examples, there's two that I think
- 4:46Speaker 5: of that kind of went both directions. You think about
- 4:48Speaker 5: Marcus Lattimore, phenomenal in my opinion, of the best college
- 4:52Speaker 5: running backs you know during.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Our era, or could have in South Carolina.
- 4:55Speaker 5: South Carolina, had a dislocated knee, really bad knee injury,
- 5:00Speaker 5: ever ended up making the next level. This is a
- 5:01Speaker 5: guy who almost definitely is an NFL running back. I
- 5:03Speaker 5: mean I would I probably take away almost yeah, with
- 5:06Speaker 5: as good as he was prior to that injury, never
- 5:08Speaker 5: plays an NFL game, right, never able to because of
- 5:11Speaker 5: one injury which wasn't able to rehab it. And then
- 5:13Speaker 5: you look at the other side of that that coin,
- 5:14Speaker 5: you know, one of the classic examples, I bring up
- 5:16Speaker 5: a lot of Drew Brees who had a shoulder injury
- 5:18Speaker 5: and and literally one team did not clear him. The
- 5:21Speaker 5: Dolphins ends up a saint because of that. And if
- 5:24Speaker 5: you're the medical staff there, you know, you feel pretty
- 5:27Speaker 5: awful if you watch his career from that point forward.
- 5:30Speaker 5: So you have those guys, and then you have these
- 5:31Speaker 5: these other people that are that are maybe this more
- 5:33Speaker 5: you know, literally injury prone, predisposed to it for whatever reason.
- 5:36Speaker 5: They they have identified some specific genes that either protect
- 5:39Speaker 5: you from tending to ligament injury or increase your risk.
- 5:42Speaker 5: There there's guys that you see the repeated soft tissue
- 5:45Speaker 5: injuries like hamstrings, you know, in one or two hamstring strains. Okay,
- 5:48Speaker 5: that's one thing, but over and over you really got
- 5:50Speaker 5: to start asking yourself, you know, what's going on with
- 5:52Speaker 5: this guy? And and and sometimes maybe it's somebody that
- 5:55Speaker 5: doesn't do the right rehab in training, but sometimes there's
- 5:58Speaker 5: there's something to it for sure, and it's that's that's
- 5:59Speaker 5: a hard thing to figure out.
- 6:02Speaker 4: We always hear some guys, you know, Zion kind of
- 6:05Speaker 4: comes up in this conversation because he's had the soft
- 6:07Speaker 4: tissue like he's too explosive, like his you know, his
- 6:10Speaker 4: ham strings and all the soft tissue. They can't keep
- 6:12Speaker 4: up with how athletic and explosive and big he is
- 6:15Speaker 4: is their.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Truth to that.
- 6:16Speaker 5: I think there is, And I think that's something we've
- 6:18Speaker 5: talked about. For one, you know who talked about this
- 6:20Speaker 5: for you don't see a hamstring strain and typically and
- 6:22Speaker 5: somebody who's slow. You know, there's always a weird exception,
- 6:24Speaker 5: the guy who slips and falls and goes into a
- 6:26Speaker 5: split or something.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:27Speaker 4: I always tell my story of the year, Nor's like,
- 6:29Speaker 4: you're not fast enough to pull your hamstring and back
- 6:32Speaker 4: out there.
- 6:33Speaker 5: And look, if you look at it, I will tell
- 6:34Speaker 5: you ninety percent in the hamstring injuries I see, especially
- 6:37Speaker 5: in young you know athletes, they're gonna be sprinters, They're
- 6:39Speaker 5: gonna be the wide receivers, the defensive backs, these big,
- 6:42Speaker 5: explosive type guys. Now he's big, but definitely explosive. Yeah.
- 6:45Speaker 5: And you look at a guy like Zion who looks
- 6:48Speaker 5: he's a genetic freak, at least from the standpoint off
- 6:50Speaker 5: he's he is big, he is fast, the guy can
- 6:52Speaker 5: jump out of the gym. I mean that just those
- 6:53Speaker 5: things shouldn't add up right, And and somewhere there's gonna
- 6:56Speaker 5: be just just physics that comes into play too. So
- 6:59Speaker 5: I think there's a lot of those factors that go
- 7:01Speaker 5: into it. I think we can overcome a lot of
- 7:03Speaker 5: it by doing really good rehab, having good medical practices,
- 7:07Speaker 5: and some of that you're going to get buy in
- 7:08Speaker 5: from the athletes. These guys who maybe have a little
- 7:10Speaker 5: bit more injury tendency, They really really got to do
- 7:12Speaker 5: their rehab. They really got to do things the right way.
- 7:14Speaker 4: But what about scheduling, Like so Jordan Tyson had a scheduled
- 7:18Speaker 4: day off and maintenance. Is that something that can actually
- 7:21Speaker 4: help like put them on a play because like at
- 7:23Speaker 4: the end of the day, like in a game, you're
- 7:25Speaker 4: not going to really have a maintenance plan. At least
- 7:27Speaker 4: if you do, it's it's not the best case scenario
- 7:30Speaker 4: for anybody involved. And so can you create a plan
- 7:34Speaker 4: that makes sense for the player to be able to
- 7:37Speaker 4: not put the strain on whatever it is, but also
- 7:40Speaker 4: make sure that he's ready to play, he or she
- 7:42Speaker 4: is ready to play.
- 7:42Speaker 5: You know, it's kind of a paradox that goes into that.
- 7:45Speaker 5: That's something we always talk about because you know that
- 7:49Speaker 5: chronic training, repetitive training.
- 7:51Speaker 4: Well, you know what I'm gonna say, to a point,
- 7:52Speaker 4: he's beneficial. You and I got calloused in old two days.
- 7:55Speaker 5: And I will tell you this, go back to that
- 7:57Speaker 5: era of sports. How many soft tissue injuries did you see,
- 8:01Speaker 5: especially after camp? So and I think we recognize there's
- 8:04Speaker 5: some truth that again look at look at basketball. Basketball
- 8:06Speaker 5: for me is the best example. I don't remember a superstar,
- 8:09Speaker 5: maybe outside of one freak injury, ever missed the playoff game.
- 8:13Speaker 3: You know, it happened.
- 8:13Speaker 5: It happened every now and then. But you go back
- 8:15Speaker 5: to the days of you know, you know, Michael Jordan,
- 8:17Speaker 5: Magic Johnston, Kareem, all these guys. Occasionally a guy has
- 8:19Speaker 5: a bad injury, one guy. How many superstars from all
- 8:23Speaker 5: these NBA teams right now are not playing because of
- 8:25Speaker 5: injuries and so and what's the one big difference. Well,
- 8:28Speaker 5: they are having all these maintens states, they're getting all
- 8:30Speaker 5: this time off, and I'm not saying they shouldn't, But
- 8:32Speaker 5: there is a part of me the kind of issue
- 8:33Speaker 5: there's well, there's a muscu skeletal callous and there is
- 8:36Speaker 5: a recognized phenomenon the chronic training. Now there is also
- 8:38Speaker 5: overuse injuries. So where do you find that that balance?
- 8:42Speaker 5: My personal opinion is I think there's more benefit to
- 8:45Speaker 5: doing more training, which isn't always a popular statement. That's
- 8:48Speaker 5: kind of how I see it. But on the flip
- 8:49Speaker 5: side of that, I do think you have to look
- 8:50Speaker 5: at your athletes as individuals. You have guys that you
- 8:53Speaker 5: realize like, hey, he is rehabing a hamstring or he
- 8:55Speaker 5: just had this. Yeah, it's probably good to get him
- 8:58Speaker 5: a day off. For this guy that's coming off of
- 8:59Speaker 5: an ankle injury. Do we really want him taking reps
- 9:01Speaker 5: on a full contact Tuesday when we really need him
- 9:04Speaker 5: playing on Saturday? You know? And there is you got
- 9:06Speaker 5: to find that line. I think there is a line there.
- 9:09Speaker 5: I do think modern sports we've just, like most things,
- 9:12Speaker 5: the pendulum sometimes swings too far.
- 9:14Speaker 4: We got a question inside the chad here asked doctor
- 9:17Speaker 4: ether it, since Hester is now old forty one, the
- 9:20Speaker 4: best method for Hester to recover his arm after throwing
- 9:23Speaker 4: the first pitch on Friday.
- 9:25Speaker 5: It's a fair question. It's a fair question. For first thing,
- 9:27Speaker 5: I'll address forty one not old, you know, Yeah, Doc's
- 9:31Speaker 5: older than that at forty seven. You know, I feel
- 9:33Speaker 5: like forty one is is quite young. It's kind of
- 9:35Speaker 5: spring chicken there, you know. Man, I think I think
- 9:38Speaker 5: you just got to give it your go. And then
- 9:40Speaker 5: little ice, little little Tiger mom, all the good things.
- 9:42Speaker 5: I think it still work for me. You know, I
- 9:45Speaker 5: think I will say this the most important thing all sincerity.
- 9:47Speaker 5: Warm up. I think we learned that warming up is
- 9:51Speaker 5: going to be where the key to preventing injuries, especially
- 9:53Speaker 5: in that scenario. So so do some practice throws.
- 9:56Speaker 3: So we have a nine new game out.
- 9:58Speaker 4: In Zachary at four on Friday, I'm gonna leave from
- 10:01Speaker 4: that to go to the box. So you're saying, instead
- 10:04Speaker 4: of getting the kids warmed up for their bullpen, I
- 10:07Speaker 4: should be getting warmed You.
- 10:08Speaker 5: Need to getting warmed up.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:09Speaker 5: Now, I may wait till it's a tail end of
- 10:10Speaker 5: when you're gonna leave, you know, wanna warm up, cool down,
- 10:12Speaker 5: then have that whole thing going on too. So so
- 10:15Speaker 5: maybe maybe not doing the pregame warm up. As long
- 10:17Speaker 5: as I don't bounce it, that's that's that's the biggest fear,
- 10:20Speaker 5: you know. Yeah, that's it's nobody wants to bounce.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Since you went to Florida State, and I think you'll
- 10:25Speaker 3: appreciate this.
- 10:26Speaker 4: Should I try to throw a strike or should I
- 10:28Speaker 4: try to pick off and throw it in the third
- 10:30Speaker 4: base dugout? That's a good question because I think if
- 10:33Speaker 4: I did that. Yeah, no matter where it goes, that
- 10:37Speaker 4: would be good.
- 10:37Speaker 3: That would be good. We're not trying to hurt anybody
- 10:40Speaker 3: too bad, but just to make.
- 10:41Speaker 5: Sure that I wouldn't mind a stray ball catching, you know,
- 10:44Speaker 5: I'll mind blue and orange over there.
- 10:45Speaker 3: It's okay, hit him in the ankle.
- 10:47Speaker 5: Nothing crazy, We don't We don't want any yeah, need
- 10:49Speaker 5: long term, just enough to kind of they even take
- 10:51Speaker 5: them by the game.
- 10:52Speaker 4: All right, fair enough, last one I had for you, Doc,
- 10:54Speaker 4: and I apologize because I didn't prep you for this,
- 10:57Speaker 4: but you're gonna have a great answer for it. So
- 11:00Speaker 4: we've talked about turf and grass. We've had that conversation.
- 11:05Speaker 4: So all of these NFL teams that still have turf,
- 11:08Speaker 4: because about half the league still has turf, all of
- 11:11Speaker 4: them are hosting the World Cup and they're all bringing
- 11:14Speaker 4: in grass because FIFA's like, we're not doing that. We're
- 11:17Speaker 4: not playing this game on that stuff. We're just not
- 11:19Speaker 4: doing They won't allow it. Yeah, right, And so all
- 11:22Speaker 4: the stadiums that have turf are putting in grass and
- 11:25Speaker 4: like the nflpa's like, hold up, wait a minute, what
- 11:28Speaker 4: and they're like, well, we couldn't do it like in
- 11:29Speaker 4: December and January.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Like, to me, that's just a cop out, Like would.
- 11:34Speaker 4: It be easy? No, wouldn't be easy. There's some places
- 11:36Speaker 4: that have some harsh winners in the National Football League.
- 11:39Speaker 4: So I understand initially why you did it. I'm not
- 11:42Speaker 4: a big fan. Like if I go work out on turf,
- 11:45Speaker 4: I feel it completely different than if I work out
- 11:47Speaker 4: on grass.
- 11:48Speaker 3: I just do. Maybe that's just me.
- 11:50Speaker 4: Do you think we'll get to a point where they say,
- 11:53Speaker 4: you know what, we're just not doing this turf stuff
- 11:55Speaker 4: anymore and it's all grass in the National Football League?
- 11:57Speaker 5: I think we should with Maybe. Again, there might be
- 12:00Speaker 5: a few exceptions where I understand if it's a really
- 12:02Speaker 5: hoping I mean, technology is pretty pretty good. Now you
- 12:05Speaker 5: can indoor grass.
- 12:06Speaker 3: I'm trying like Lambo has grass. Lambo has grass and
- 12:09Speaker 3: has grass.
- 12:09Speaker 5: Yeah if I mean, if if Lambo has grass, there's
- 12:12Speaker 5: no real excuse. Yeah, you know, and especially if you're
- 12:15Speaker 5: talking about an NFL. I get, for example, I get
- 12:17Speaker 5: some of the high schools here that we live in
- 12:18Speaker 5: a swamp, and if you look at some of these fields,
- 12:21Speaker 5: like we wouldn't have the budget the NFL has. So
- 12:23Speaker 5: I understand why some of our schools here have done
- 12:25Speaker 5: it right. I don't love it, but I totally get it.
- 12:27Speaker 4: H I get that more because, like you said, like,
- 12:29Speaker 4: but the NFL is the most popular sport in this country,
- 12:32Speaker 4: and it's not even close. Like, if you want to
- 12:35Speaker 4: have the thirty two best groundskeepers in the world, you could,
- 12:40Speaker 4: and you could pay them a really good salary and
- 12:42Speaker 4: you wouldn't even notice it in the.
- 12:43Speaker 5: Budget, you know. I think it's one of those things
- 12:45Speaker 5: where where I'm hoping the research that we've seen and
- 12:48Speaker 5: then what we've witnessed will we'll finally get there. But
- 12:51Speaker 5: I I personally, I'm with you. I don't like running
- 12:53Speaker 5: on turf. Uh maybe maybe I am now getting old,
- 12:56Speaker 5: because I definitely feel it now, although I look again,
- 12:59Speaker 5: the turf's better. But I'll never forget the first time
- 13:01Speaker 5: I ever ran on turf. We were playing at the
- 13:03Speaker 5: Super Dome. This is back you know, in the nineties.
- 13:04Speaker 3: So yeah, old ass, I remember we played state championships there.
- 13:07Speaker 5: Man, just have we went there, been down there and
- 13:09Speaker 5: we practiced there for a week and and uh, by
- 13:11Speaker 5: the end of that week my knees hurt my back
- 13:13Speaker 5: nineteen years old for U. Yeah, Super Bowl in nineteen.
- 13:15Speaker 5: I'm I'm the peak physical health I've ever been. Never
- 13:18Speaker 5: had a knee problem, never had a back problem. I
- 13:20Speaker 5: left like the last practice like like looking like an
- 13:22Speaker 5: old man, hobbling off the field just from running on
- 13:24Speaker 5: it for a week. And again, the turf back then
- 13:25Speaker 5: was way worse. It has gotten better.
- 13:27Speaker 3: But Joe played Virginia Tech.
- 13:28Speaker 5: That was uh well, that was the national championship. But
- 13:31Speaker 5: a couple years before that, we played Ohio State. Okay, yeah,
- 13:33Speaker 5: we played Ohio State. I think with the time we
- 13:35Speaker 5: end up finished season at two and they finished four
- 13:36Speaker 5: or five. They dropped down if the actually beat the time.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you hear that Bobby.
- 13:43Speaker 4: Beat that you know, But guys, get out here, Bob,
- 13:48Speaker 4: I have to work with a lot of guys.
- 13:50Speaker 5: Yeah, they're they're out there. Yeah, it's it's there. They're
- 13:52Speaker 5: not They're not a good group.
- 13:53Speaker 3: It's a big group though. Yeah, he's a very big group. Uh, Doc,

- 14:04Speaker 4: first pitch?
- 14:05Speaker 5: I did it a softball game us for BRCC.
- 14:08Speaker 3: Okay, underhand or overhand?
- 14:09Speaker 5: I went overhand because I didn't trust my underhand skills,
- 14:12Speaker 5: so I wanted to make sure I got the strike there.
- 14:14Speaker 5: And I'm just you know, I don't typically throw underhand,
- 14:16Speaker 5: so I was like, you know what, I'm just gonna.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Go over that's true. That's very fair, speaking of underhand.

- 17:09Speaker 4: Thinking that Alanji kind of came in here with a
- 17:10Speaker 4: pep in your step today. Maybe it was because of
- 17:12Speaker 4: the workout, but I really think it's because the spurs
- 17:16Speaker 4: one ninety.
- 17:17Speaker 6: So I'm gonna have to name my first kid, Wimby right,
- 17:21Speaker 6: depends on I'm gonna have to.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Name Victor if you wanted to, Yeah, I.
- 17:25Speaker 7: Could go Victor.
- 17:28Speaker 8: Victor with Ama I we'll just go with Yama. Yama's
- 17:31Speaker 8: a great name.
- 17:32Speaker 3: You know.
- 17:33Speaker 4: Victor is not a name that you hear very often.
- 17:34Speaker 4: It's really not, oh what you name me Victor?
- 17:37Speaker 3: And then you get.
- 17:37Speaker 6: Into the because of my ghost because uh, probably because
- 17:43Speaker 6: he had like twenty seven points last night.
- 17:46Speaker 7: And he's just a beast you.
- 17:48Speaker 3: Know who's like seventeen boards as well, Yeah.
- 17:51Speaker 7: You know who.
- 17:53Speaker 6: I mean, the whole team is really well put together.
- 17:56Speaker 6: But I was looking at the MVP odds the other day.
- 17:59Speaker 6: SGA is still number one. I think Wimby was like
- 18:02Speaker 6: plus three forty but not even an option and has
- 18:05Speaker 6: been playing his ass off.
- 18:06Speaker 7: Is Dylan Harper?
- 18:08Speaker 6: Like Dylan Harp, Not that he's gonna win the MVP,
- 18:10Speaker 6: but like they're not even putting him on the board
- 18:13Speaker 6: at all.
- 18:13Speaker 8: It's an underrated backcourt. Yeah, it has been for two
- 18:16Speaker 8: years now for whatever reason.
- 18:18Speaker 6: I mean, even like Fox and Castle and the Cell,
- 18:21Speaker 6: like I used to, I liked the Cell just fine,
- 18:25Speaker 6: but I used to not really I would. I wouldn't
- 18:29Speaker 6: care one way or the other if he was on
- 18:31Speaker 6: the Spurs maybe last season, right, Yeah, but the Cell
- 18:35Speaker 6: is also doing just a really great job down the
- 18:37Speaker 6: stretch too, So yeah, the Spurs winning is definitely putting
- 18:43Speaker 6: a pep at my step.
- 18:45Speaker 4: Yeah, they like they've done such a good job of
- 18:48Speaker 4: identifying talent, young talent, young talent.
- 18:52Speaker 3: It's not just wimby. And then you pair that with.
- 18:56Speaker 4: Deer in Fox, who like wildly enough, like he's ten
- 18:59Speaker 4: years in now, Like you pair that youth with somebody
- 19:02Speaker 4: that can facilitate it, like deeron Fox. Can you you know,
- 19:07Speaker 4: you got like savvy vets on the back end of
- 19:09Speaker 4: the bench.
- 19:09Speaker 3: You don't really play anymore.
- 19:10Speaker 4: But like even having Harrison Barnes and Kelly olynnok, like
- 19:14Speaker 4: just sitting there mentoring those young players at the end
- 19:16Speaker 4: of the bench when they come off, Hey, here's what
- 19:18Speaker 4: I saw. Because they've been through the fire for a
- 19:20Speaker 4: long time as well, So even though they're not on
- 19:22Speaker 4: the court, they're still helping you out. So like in
- 19:26Speaker 4: it's been a little bit of a different rotation for
- 19:29Speaker 4: the Spreads, Like Carter Bryant's not playing as much as
- 19:31Speaker 4: he once did, Like he's kind of got passed up
- 19:34Speaker 4: in his minutes, and so like it's a team that
- 19:37Speaker 4: if you're not playing, well, they've got enough talent. Well
- 19:40Speaker 4: they'll just pay next and they'll bring somebody else in
- 19:43Speaker 4: and man, they they're gonna be a hard out for whoever, because,
- 19:47Speaker 4: like the Timberwolves, give them their credit.
- 19:49Speaker 3: I mean, what they've done in the playoffs been very.
- 19:50Speaker 6: Important, and they're still in it because of an I think,
- 19:56Speaker 6: oh yeah.
- 19:57Speaker 4: No doubt if they don't have him. I mean, it's
- 19:59Speaker 4: it's not even a conversation. I mean, he had another
- 20:01Speaker 4: twenty last night, but it's more just like what he
- 20:05Speaker 4: did against the Nuggets.
- 20:05Speaker 3: I mean, he willed his team to victory for sure.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Nos Reed has been playing really.
- 20:08Speaker 7: Well, even though he got elbowed by way that he did.
- 20:14Speaker 4: I look there, pesky, But they're not gonna win this series.
- 20:16Speaker 4: San Antonio is gonna win the series.
- 20:17Speaker 7: And they're just like good on pretty much every facet
- 20:22Speaker 7: of the game.
- 20:23Speaker 3: Spur, Spurs, thunder. It's gonna be so good.
- 20:26Speaker 7: I'm a little nervous for it.
- 20:28Speaker 8: But it's gonna be coming.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Fully fully expected to be a seven game series.
- 20:33Speaker 7: Yeah, oh yeah, so many free throws for s g A.
- 20:37Speaker 3: That's the thing.
- 20:37Speaker 7: Don't let wimby elbow s g A. He would be
- 20:41Speaker 7: out for the rest of the thing. If it was SGA.
- 20:44Speaker 3: What would what would the NBA care about?
- 20:48Speaker 4: Wait wait, okay, so you got San Antonio. Okay, see
- 20:51Speaker 4: if the Spurs end up winning the last game. Okay,
- 20:53Speaker 4: so you got those two teams and then you've got
- 20:57Speaker 4: the Caves and the Pistons, which is now tied up. Yeah,
- 21:00Speaker 4: and then the Knicks are waiting there.
- 21:03Speaker 3: What is it? What is the.
- 21:05Speaker 8: NBA like like finals matchup? Yeah, it's Nick Spurs easily. Yeah,
- 21:09Speaker 8: Spurs is a huge fan base, and you know it's
- 21:14Speaker 8: a marquee team, and you know they they've been they've
- 21:16Speaker 8: been off the last few years. But everybody wants Wimby
- 21:19Speaker 8: to be the face of the league at some point.
- 21:20Speaker 8: You get him in there with a market like New York. Yeah,
- 21:23Speaker 8: that's the matchup for sure, which is.
- 21:25Speaker 6: Crazy because the Spurs have always been like a very
- 21:27Speaker 6: quiet organization, you know, like even when they were winning a.
- 21:30Speaker 3: Because Superstars Super David Robinson.
- 21:34Speaker 6: Yeah, Tim Duncan was the quiet. But he's also kind
- 21:37Speaker 6: of like a silent troll.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Oh I mean like yeah, but like he was like
- 21:41Speaker 4: he didn't celebrate publicly, he was.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Not Yeah and talk.
- 21:46Speaker 7: At all.
- 21:47Speaker 6: Wimby, I mean, Wimby is more personable than Tim Duncan.
- 21:51Speaker 6: But like I just it's an exciting time to be
- 21:55Speaker 6: a Spurs fan. Like we feel like we're back, and
- 21:59Speaker 6: I wish I was in San Antonio right now, like
- 22:01Speaker 6: just honking my horn around downtown.
- 22:04Speaker 3: San Antonio from here, like six is six.
- 22:07Speaker 7: And a half to seven hours.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Texas is a massive Yeah yeah yeah.
- 22:12Speaker 6: Well, but also like I'm stopping at BUCkies, so like
- 22:14Speaker 6: maybe eight.
- 22:16Speaker 3: I mean I remember going on like a recruiting visit.
- 22:21Speaker 7: She goes like six, it's like six and a half seven.
- 22:26Speaker 3: I mean, you've been to BUCkies, you get it.
- 22:28Speaker 7: It's like six and a half. Baytown One's way bigger.
- 22:31Speaker 4: If you just had like five, maybe could have made
- 22:34Speaker 4: a road trip with the Knicks verse, you know. Oh
- 22:36Speaker 4: my god, I'm a Knicks fan yours first.
- 22:38Speaker 7: Yeah, but if we if we split it up, it's
- 22:41Speaker 7: not that far of a drive.
- 22:42Speaker 4: I'm just thinking, like all the things that we have
- 22:43Speaker 4: in our lifetorial at the time.
- 22:46Speaker 6: Too, I would kill to be in San Antonio right now.
- 22:50Speaker 3: It looks great, like.
- 22:51Speaker 6: I keep seeing videos and it's giving me so much fomo.
- 22:55Speaker 6: And then Manu and the Admiral and Tim Duncan and
- 23:01Speaker 6: Greg were all at the game last night.
- 23:03Speaker 4: Yeah, do y'all think, Okay, so the Knicks have been chilling,
- 23:08Speaker 4: they've been waiting the thunder bit they're gonna be waiting. Yeah,
- 23:13Speaker 4: do y'all think that's a bad situation for them? Like,
- 23:15Speaker 4: because you like the cas and Pistons. They're too you know,
- 23:18Speaker 4: tied up at two. They're gonna play at least two
- 23:20Speaker 4: more games, probably three, and the Knicks just can be
- 23:23Speaker 4: sitting there waiting.
- 23:24Speaker 3: And let's say the te.
- 23:25Speaker 4: Wolves win and now you got a game seven, Like,
- 23:27Speaker 4: okayc he's just chilling sitting there waiting, certainly for the Knicks,
- 23:30Speaker 4: because they're gonna have a longer wait than Oka See
- 23:33Speaker 4: even did.
- 23:33Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll say it's a it's it's a negative for
- 23:37Speaker 8: the Knicks, it's a positive for the Thunder. It's weird
- 23:40Speaker 8: as that sounds. The Thunder did this a year ago
- 23:42Speaker 8: when they went on to win the championship. Like they
- 23:44Speaker 8: they've been there, done that. They're a young team, like
- 23:47Speaker 8: they they'll they'll be fine. They they've kind of figured
- 23:50Speaker 8: it out for the Knicks. Jalen Brunson is one of
- 23:53Speaker 8: those players who you guys know, I'm a big fan of,
- 23:56Speaker 8: but when he gets hot. He's hot, and he's one
- 23:59Speaker 8: of the best players in the When he has to sit,
- 24:01Speaker 8: you know, seven eight, nine days, who knows, does.
- 24:05Speaker 7: He cool off a little bit?
- 24:06Speaker 8: And like the team has plenty of talent, but just
- 24:08Speaker 8: for me, the fact that, okay, see he did this
- 24:10Speaker 8: a year ago, I'm not as concerned.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Is used to hate waiting, Like, yeah, just sitting there
- 24:16Speaker 3: waiting while your opponents are still Like I always talked
- 24:18Speaker 3: about it, like you get a buy in the NFL
- 24:21Speaker 3: and then like the wildcard game, like they're they're not
- 24:23Speaker 3: waiting at home, like they're playing and they're still continuing
- 24:26Speaker 3: on and it's like, I hate that situation because you're just.
- 24:30Speaker 4: Hanging out watching the games and sometimes you can get
- 24:33Speaker 4: a little too loose, a little too relaxed, and the
- 24:35Speaker 4: other team's still fighting. So something we'll pay attention to.
- 24:38Speaker 4: We don't talk a lot of NBA here obviously, because well,
- 24:40Speaker 4: the team we cover is not very good, but you
- 24:43Speaker 4: have a coach yet Jack, they don't. And it's been
- 24:45Speaker 4: like lonely on the dance floor for a long time.
- 24:47Speaker 4: But with the Spurs and Nickson there, you'll probably here
- 24:49Speaker 4: a little bit more here on OTV and something else
- 24:52Speaker 4: you'll hear right here on the show is Beth Terina,

- 27:06Speaker 3: Weekend, yeah it's going to be.
- 27:08Speaker 4: Great Scenes and obviously we've talked so much about What
- 27:10Speaker 4: Tiger park is in the home field advantage that you have,
- 27:14Speaker 4: there but one of the things And i've got to start, here,
- 27:16Speaker 4: coach because we talked about it in linked yesterday when
- 27:18Speaker 4: we were breaking down the regional and we'll talk about
- 27:22Speaker 4: all the, teams AND i want to talk about your,
- 27:24Speaker 4: matchup but just kind of going over the teams that
- 27:25Speaker 4: are going to be. Here For Virginia, tech they've only
- 27:30Speaker 4: really played away from. Home they're twenty one and four
- 27:33Speaker 4: away from, home sixteen and two on neutral. Sites they
- 27:36Speaker 4: only played thirteen home games this entire. Season we were
- 27:40Speaker 4: going over the schedule and all the different places that they,
- 27:43Speaker 4: played and they even hosted a tournament somewhere, else and you,
- 27:46Speaker 4: know they played a couple of teams that typically would
- 27:49Speaker 4: you would think would come to them on the, road
- 27:51Speaker 4: and so that was one thing that stood out to, us,
- 27:54Speaker 4: like this is a team that's played a lot of
- 27:55Speaker 4: games on the. Road considering they've played fifty six games
- 27:58Speaker 4: and only thirteen if been at.
- 27:59Speaker 11: Home, YEAH i would, say you, know weather probably plays
- 28:03Speaker 11: a huge factor in, that AND i think weather will
- 28:05Speaker 11: probably play a factor this weekend. Too it's going to
- 28:07Speaker 11: be really really, hot and you, KNOW i think we
- 28:09Speaker 11: have a team that'll be ready to play in that
- 28:11Speaker 11: WHERE i think it'll be a different feel for some
- 28:14Speaker 11: of the others coming down this way and coach.
- 28:16Speaker 3: Kind of looking at you know who's going to be in.
- 28:18Speaker 4: Town like obviously you Played South alabama earlier this, year
- 28:21Speaker 4: so you've got a pretty good book of you know
- 28:23Speaker 4: what they're going to be and they've played some common
- 28:25Speaker 4: opponents and so you can go watch some of that.
- 28:27Speaker 4: Tape but Also Virginia. TECH i mean they've played SIX sec.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Teams they've won all six of those games With South, Carolina,
- 28:33Speaker 4: georgia And Alburt and so knowing THOSE sec teams like you,
- 28:37Speaker 4: do is that kind is you, know maybe where you
- 28:40Speaker 4: start kind of your prep for this team because you
- 28:42Speaker 4: do know those teams and it's you, know some of
- 28:44Speaker 4: the same things maybe that they'll face when they face your.
- 28:46Speaker 4: Team do you go to the last six games AND
- 28:48Speaker 4: i know you AND i know how you, Work you're
- 28:49Speaker 4: going to watch all of, them but how much of,
- 28:52Speaker 4: It like are you going to, say, okay let's go
- 28:54Speaker 4: off of.
- 28:54Speaker 11: This, well you want to know WHAT i did? FIRST
- 28:58Speaker 11: i went to their losses AND i watched how they.
- 29:01Speaker 11: LOST i watched what kind of arms beat, them and
- 29:06Speaker 11: you know what type of things gave them. Problems and
- 29:08Speaker 11: then we'll definitely watch the most recent stuff and, then
- 29:11Speaker 11: like you, said watching things that look similar to, us
- 29:14Speaker 11: whether it's AN sec team or. Not but if they
- 29:16Speaker 11: have a picture that looks like one of, ours you,
- 29:18Speaker 11: know try to find a, lefty try to find a power.
- 29:21Speaker 11: Righty you, know try to find some things that look like.
- 29:23Speaker 11: Ours so that'll be the tape that we show the
- 29:25Speaker 11: team and the. Pictures BUT i want to know how
- 29:28Speaker 11: they got. BEATS i want to know who beat, them
- 29:30Speaker 11: AND i want to know how they did it and
- 29:31Speaker 11: how we can do it.
- 29:32Speaker 4: Too And, coach one of the things that we know
- 29:35Speaker 4: about you is you're going to be prepared for every.
- 29:37Speaker 4: Situation the prep work's going to be second to. None
- 29:40Speaker 4: and so when you have a situation like this where
- 29:42Speaker 4: you have three teams coming to town and, look you
- 29:45Speaker 4: only really know what's going to happen and how it's
- 29:47Speaker 4: going to play. Out your first, Game like you know
- 29:49Speaker 4: that you've Got Okay akron's going to be the first.
- 29:51Speaker 4: Game that's who we're. Playing it is going to be you,
- 29:54Speaker 4: know coming, up and it's going to be you, Know
- 29:56Speaker 4: friday at five point thirty and after, that like you
- 29:58Speaker 4: don't really know what it's going to look. Like and
- 30:00Speaker 4: so when you're trying to allot your, Time, okay let's
- 30:04Speaker 4: spend this amount of time with three teams coming to
- 30:06Speaker 4: town and you not really, knowing how is the process
- 30:09Speaker 4: for you and your staff to break all of that.
- 30:11Speaker 11: Down, well it's a full scout for all three. TEAMS i,
- 30:14Speaker 11: MEAN i don't think you look past anybody that's playing
- 30:16Speaker 11: this time of. Year there's only sixty four left out
- 30:18Speaker 11: of three hundred and ten or whatever we ran this
- 30:20Speaker 11: year in, softball and everybody's here for a, reason SO
- 30:23Speaker 11: i don't think you look past. ANYBODY a ton of
- 30:26Speaker 11: respect for everybody who's still, playing so it'll be a full.
- 30:28Speaker 11: Scout it's a lot of. HOURS i, know the lights
- 30:30Speaker 11: have been on At Tiger park late every night early
- 30:32Speaker 11: in the morning's out. Here we do have a lot
- 30:35Speaker 11: of familiarity With South, alabama, though like you, said we
- 30:38Speaker 11: also played them in two ten inning games in the
- 30:40Speaker 11: fall over at their, place SO i, MEAN i probably
- 30:43Speaker 11: know they're twenty fifth, player they probably know ours, two you,
- 30:45Speaker 11: know but we have a lot of familiarity, there so
- 30:49Speaker 11: that helps having someplace to start with, them but having
- 30:52Speaker 11: not Seen akron play at, all Seen Virginia tech ON,
- 30:55Speaker 11: tv and then they were here last year too early
- 30:58Speaker 11: in the, season so a little more familiarity, there.
- 31:01Speaker 4: And coach obviously, like we know What Tiger park means
- 31:04Speaker 4: in the, atmosphere and you know twenty eight and five
- 31:06Speaker 4: this year at. Home but when you're sitting there and
- 31:09Speaker 4: you're watching the selection show and you're trying to figure, Out,
- 31:12Speaker 4: okay we know we're thirteenth IN, rpi we know who
- 31:14Speaker 4: we've played this. Year we've played a very difficult. Schedule you,
- 31:18Speaker 4: know are we going to be one of those sixteen host?
- 31:22Speaker 4: Sites when you're getting down to the very back, end
- 31:24Speaker 4: they're going to walk us through your emotions when you
- 31:27Speaker 4: SEE lsu is in fact going to be playing In Tiger, Park, WELL.
- 31:30Speaker 11: I think it was the team's, emotions boy than. Mine
- 31:32Speaker 11: it was a pretty cool thing seeing, them and you,
- 31:35Speaker 11: know we have a couple of really sharp. Ones Jali
- 31:37Speaker 11: hudgins knew it was down to us In Virginia. TECH
- 31:39Speaker 11: i started telling the, People she's, like we're either going
- 31:42Speaker 11: there or they're coming. Here they knew that's who was
- 31:43Speaker 11: left on the. Board she, starts she's really. Sharp she's,
- 31:47Speaker 11: LIKE i knew it was one or the. Other the
- 31:48Speaker 11: TEAM i was sitting behind. Him they were looking around to,
- 31:50Speaker 11: him anybody who the coaches are the coaches are they getting?
- 31:52Speaker 11: Worried what are they? Doing they were starting to panic
- 31:55Speaker 11: a little. Bit some of the FRESHMEN calli deal was really.
- 31:58Speaker 11: Panicking so it was really cool to see their name
- 32:01Speaker 11: called and like just a big sigh of relief for.
- 32:03Speaker 11: Them but they're in the right to host and had
- 32:06Speaker 11: an awesome. Season they went through a lot of adversity
- 32:09Speaker 11: and you, know fought through some things and learn how
- 32:11Speaker 11: to come. Together SO i think it's the season they
- 32:13Speaker 11: can really be proud.
- 32:14Speaker 4: Of catching up with lsuhead softball Coach Beth tina here
- 32:17Speaker 4: ON otv, coach they, did and we always kind of
- 32:20Speaker 4: pointed out here when we're talking about your team is,
- 32:23Speaker 4: AROUND i would say the middle Of, MARCH i would
- 32:26Speaker 4: say that last game Against TEXAS a AND, m you
- 32:28Speaker 4: did see something change in this softball. Team and then
- 32:32Speaker 4: you go and you Beat South carolina and we could
- 32:34Speaker 4: go on down the. List you take a game From,
- 32:36Speaker 4: oklahoma you win The missouri, Series like we could keep
- 32:39Speaker 4: on going what your team did after that, Point but for,
- 32:42Speaker 4: you you're there every day like you saw before, that
- 32:45Speaker 4: you saw after that what change in this softball team
- 32:48Speaker 4: to kind of get them in the mindset where they
- 32:50Speaker 4: were going to play a little bit different and they
- 32:52Speaker 4: are going to host in the.
- 32:53Speaker 11: POSTSEASON i think just a lot of us understanding them
- 32:56Speaker 11: as well as learning the. System there was so much
- 32:59Speaker 11: new when we started this, year and it was as
- 33:01Speaker 11: much us learning the right words to say to, them
- 33:03Speaker 11: some of the, transfers some of the things that worked
- 33:05Speaker 11: for you, Know Kylie edwards and Man bryce really hit
- 33:09Speaker 11: a home run there with her once they kind of
- 33:10Speaker 11: got to the bottom of what things make her tick
- 33:12Speaker 11: because she had an incredible season for, us but just
- 33:15Speaker 11: an example of you, know trying to maybe fit her
- 33:18Speaker 11: into a box and it wasn't the right one and
- 33:20Speaker 11: trying to figure out which is the right. One AND
- 33:22Speaker 11: i think once they, did you saw her just grow
- 33:25Speaker 11: leaps and mounds and have an incredible. Year SO i
- 33:27Speaker 11: think situations like that all. OVER i, Mean Avery hodge
- 33:30Speaker 11: moving to third, base the branding position and, now my,
- 33:32Speaker 11: gosh she's maybe the best third baseman ever walked Around Tiger.
- 33:35Speaker 11: Park it's. Incredible but took a minute for her to
- 33:39Speaker 11: understand that. Position And maarnette And Alex brinklin transitioned to
- 33:42Speaker 11: right field and now it's playing that an elite. Level
- 33:44Speaker 11: so just a lot of new and growing into their.
- 33:46Speaker 4: Spot all, right, coach before we let you, go and
- 33:49Speaker 4: we certainly appreciate the. TIME i, know as you, SAID i,
- 33:52Speaker 4: mean you're trying to get ready to host. There y'all
- 33:54Speaker 4: got a lot of things coming up over the next
- 33:56Speaker 4: couple of. Days but if you had a message to
- 34:00Speaker 4: ALL lsu softball, fans which they're a very passionate, group
- 34:04Speaker 4: but if you had a message to make sure That
- 34:06Speaker 4: Tiger park has turned up two and, eleven it's at its,
- 34:08Speaker 4: peak what would you say to THE lsu softball.
- 34:11Speaker 11: FANS i think that's, it. MAN i think we need
- 34:14Speaker 11: them in every pitch with. Us you, know a lot
- 34:17Speaker 11: of these teams have really good, Arms SO i think
- 34:19Speaker 11: every single pitch we win is going to be a big. One.
- 34:21Speaker 11: Right we talked, about like you'll love you, know the
- 34:24Speaker 11: concept of like pounding the stone and just it's not
- 34:26Speaker 11: the first hundred, blows it's one hundred and first that
- 34:30Speaker 11: breaks it. Open so we need to win every single
- 34:32Speaker 11: pitch we. Can we need people out and then every
- 34:34Speaker 11: pitch and understand and like you know we got to
- 34:37Speaker 11: win the war at the end.
- 34:37Speaker 3: Of it here absolutely and we're all looking forward to.
- 34:41Speaker 4: It, coach congratulations to this, point looking forward to a

- 35:12Speaker 3: Regional you heard her talk about it.
- 35:13Speaker 4: There the final host site came down TO lsu And Virginia.

- 39:11Speaker 6: with their uniforms, on and all of, them every single
- 39:14Speaker 6: one of, them mainly pitching.
- 39:15Speaker 3: Staff get out, there. Guys, yeah, yeah why. Didn't baseball
- 39:18Speaker 3: is a weird. Deal, yeah it's. Weird it's, odd.
- 39:21Speaker 7: MAN i think it's probably by the.
- 39:24Speaker 3: Ways the player we're talking, about oh, Yeah Marines catcher.
- 39:27Speaker 7: If you, know you, know just his? Nickname, yeah what
- 39:30Speaker 7: was THE o for thirty?
- 39:31Speaker 4: Four?
- 39:32Speaker 3: Eight thirty eight turned into for thirty Eight Welcome. Back
- 39:36Speaker 3: he had sixty home, runs last. Year, yeah SO i
- 39:39Speaker 3: mean he was surprised to say the. Least.
- 39:41Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah and he gets two hits last. Night AND
- 39:45Speaker 4: i really want to harp on the showering in his full.
- 39:47Speaker 4: Uniform yeah portion of, this because you, know we did
- 39:52Speaker 4: some like you did some weird things when you're trying
- 39:56Speaker 4: to figure it out when you're slumping a little.
- 39:58Speaker 3: Bit, yeah, football we do. Some you, know.
- 39:59Speaker 4: We one year AND i don't they all run. Together
- 40:04Speaker 4: we were struggling In San diego and we used to
- 40:07Speaker 4: carpool to. Work they scarpool with the, quarterbacks and we
- 40:12Speaker 4: would typically pick each other up at like five five
- 40:18Speaker 4: thirty something like. That you, know get there for six six,
- 40:21Speaker 4: thirty sawn a hot, tub do the whole. Deal watch them.
- 40:23Speaker 4: Tape and we started struggling when you're like really, bad
- 40:27Speaker 4: like lost three in a, row, whatever and we're, like all,
- 40:30Speaker 4: right let's get in. Earlier and then you know how that,
- 40:32Speaker 4: Is like then it started to roll, downhills like let's
- 40:34Speaker 4: get in. Earlier let's say like we gotta play, better
- 40:36Speaker 4: we gotta get we gotta get. Here it got to
- 40:38Speaker 4: a point we were picking each other up at, three
- 40:40Speaker 4: like we're picking each other.
- 40:41Speaker 3: Up it was dark outside at three.
- 40:43Speaker 4: Am we're getting to the facility like at three forty,
- 40:45Speaker 4: five and we're just like trying to figure out anything
- 40:49Speaker 4: we could possibly do to change our fortunes and to
- 40:51Speaker 4: win football. Games, yeah like we would do stuff like, that,
- 40:55Speaker 4: like which is kind of. WEIRD i get, it but
- 40:57Speaker 4: we didn't take showers in our full football unifor. Right
- 41:00Speaker 4: but in, BASEBALL i feel like this is almost like.
- 41:02Speaker 4: Normal it's normal because like baseball, players it is such
- 41:05Speaker 4: a game of. Failure, yeah you could be the greatest
- 41:07Speaker 4: to ever do. It you're gonna feel more than you.
- 41:09Speaker 4: Succeed and that's weird for me being a football player
- 41:11Speaker 4: BECAUSE i would get cut if that.
- 41:13Speaker 7: Was you have to execute everything perfectly playing.
- 41:15Speaker 3: It you got to be, right you really.
- 41:18Speaker 4: Do you gotta have like a ninety percent, Player, yeah
- 41:20Speaker 4: baseball you. Do you're not right thirty to forty. Percent
- 41:24Speaker 4: you're you're a. Great, Yeah so it's. DIFFERENT i get
- 41:27Speaker 4: that it.
- 41:28Speaker 6: Is.
- 41:28Speaker 3: Man baseball players will do whatever they have to do
- 41:30Speaker 3: to get out of a.
- 41:31Speaker 6: SIDE i think it's definitely like the most superstitious group
- 41:34Speaker 6: of people in a sport for. Sure LIKE i remember
- 41:37Speaker 6: WHEN i was playing, softball we all did our hair
- 41:40Speaker 6: the same way every single. Game we like did the same,
- 41:43Speaker 6: routine ate the same. Stuff and this is like normal,
- 41:45Speaker 6: stuff but like it's the most superstitious sport for. REAL
- 41:50Speaker 6: i don't know why it, is but it. Is and
- 41:52Speaker 6: we believe in dumb things like showering in your full
- 41:56Speaker 6: baseball uniform to get the slump off of.
- 41:58Speaker 7: You and it did because it.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Worked when you see that you have so many people
- 42:03Speaker 4: showering in.
- 42:04Speaker 8: There, OH i mean you were talking about like football
- 42:05Speaker 8: players don't do. That baseball movies you see. This, yeah
- 42:08Speaker 8: like the, picture you, know gives up a home run or,
- 42:10Speaker 8: whatever he goes to the, shower just stands there under the.
- 42:12Speaker 9: Water.
- 42:12Speaker 8: Yeah in his, uni he said. That raley said That
- 42:15Speaker 8: Logan gilbert their picture gave him the. Advice he, said
- 42:19Speaker 8: he told me to wash off the bad mojo from
- 42:21Speaker 8: the baseball, cops he, Said and it. Works so got
- 42:24Speaker 8: to give him.
- 42:25Speaker 4: Credit so you, know his hit in the seventh inning
- 42:28Speaker 4: was his first hit Since april twenty.
- 42:30Speaker 3: SEVENTH i was forty last time he got a. Hit that's.
- 42:36Speaker 7: Crazy oh that's a way to put.
- 42:38Speaker 4: That oh it's. Again this man went and showered in
- 42:46Speaker 4: his full. Uniform got two. Hits it.
- 42:49Speaker 8: Worked they won't ten to.
- 42:50Speaker 4: Two it's like the Movie Major, League like they were
- 42:53Speaker 4: trying Like, joebu like they're trying everything they possibly can
- 42:57Speaker 4: to get out of a slump or to stay.
