  Speaker 1: Updating the baseball going on right now. Astros and Tigers
• 0:04
  are scoreless as the Astros bats with the leadoff man aboard.
• 0:10
  I said that, and he's now forced out at second.
• 0:13
  Tigers weren't able to get the double play, and in
• 0:16
  fact the man sliding in the second once a review,
• 0:19
  he thinks that the out wasn't recorded, even though the
• 0:22
  umpire says it happened on the transfer as Spencer Gats
• 0:26
  was pulling the ball out of the glove. So I
• 0:28
  don't know if they're going to review that or not.
• 0:30
  But anyway, it is scoreless between the Tigers and the
• 0:35
  Astros in Game two. Yeah, there's no doubt it. It
• 0:38
  was on the transfer. Looking at a replay there, so
• 0:42
  one out will be recorded and the Astros will still
• 0:44
  have a runner at first base with one out. We'll
• 0:49
  keep you updated on the baseball the other the other
• 0:51
  game getting ready to start Baltimore and Kansas City. Detroit
• 0:57
  is now making a pitching change with a runner at
• 1:01
  first in one out, so we'll see how that goes.
• 1:03
  No score and that is in the bottom half of
• 1:05
  the fifth inning. Tiger's winning yesterday three to one behind
• 1:09
  Tarik Skuball, who's proven was this year anyway, the best
• 1:13
  starting pitcher in all of baseball League won Baseball's Pitching
• 1:17
  Triple Crown wins E ra A and strikeouts. So the
• 1:23
  Astros backed into a corner and they have to figure
• 1:27
  out from there. All right, let's hear from long orange
• 1:30
  Head football coach Steve Sarkisia. Now this is going to
• 1:33
  be from the SEC teleconference. Remember Sark did his news
• 1:41
  conference on Monday. Because this is an open date week
• 1:45
  on the schedule. They're bye week on the schedule. There
• 1:48
  are no more media availabilities local for Sark Like normally
• 1:53
  on Thursdays he does a media zoom with the local
• 1:56
  there's player availabilities, none of that stuff on this open date.
• 2:01
  Only the news conference sat on Monday. However, the SEC
• 2:04
  has a man Data teleconference where every coach is on
• 2:07
  it every week regardless of whether they're playing or not.
• 2:11
  So that applied to Texas also applied to Oklahoma. Remember
• 2:14
  the Sooners are going through an open date on the
• 2:15
  schedule this week as well, leading up to the two
• 2:19
  teams meeting in Dallas a week from the Saturday in
• 2:22
  the All state Red River Rivalry matchup, and our coverage
• 2:27
  will begin at eleven thirty from the Fairgrounds of the
• 2:32
  State of text We'll actually be up there on Friday
• 2:37
  with coverage and then from the Fairgrounds on Saturday morning
• 2:41
  with Longhorns game Day coverage with an inclusive of Cameron
• 2:46
  Parker and Mike Hardbollharge and Mark Henry from the fairgrounds
• 2:50
  at the State Fair of Texas. So they'll get to
• 2:53
  sit out there in the open while the Sooner fans
• 2:55
  walk by and flip them off and stuff like that.
• 2:57
  That's a regular, regular behavior there, and I should point
• 3:02
  out they are longer fans who go buy and flip
• 3:05
  off the Oklahoma game day broadcast teams that are on
• 3:07
  the on the field, and this is part of that
• 3:09
  whole deal.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I can remember for years, and I do mean years,
• 3:14
  if you asked uh Texas people. One of the one
• 3:20
  of the humorous things, whether it was Mac Brown or
• 3:22
  long worn players, they talk about riding in on that
• 3:24
  bus and seeing these like eighty something year old grandma's
• 3:28
  flipping them off from the fairgrounds or little kids flipping
• 3:32
  them off for the fair grounds. And then I would
• 3:34
  go up and I'd cover the Oklahoma news conference and
• 3:37
  Bob Stoops was the coach back then, and he would say,
• 3:40
  yeah that Texas, oklah th oh you Texas week is
• 3:43
  something pretty special. Get there and those fans are, you know,
• 3:46
  their behaviors pretty special. They're they're flipping the off and
• 3:49
  telling you who's number one and all that. So they
• 3:52
  experienced it also from their side as well. It's part
• 3:54
  of the victory. All that happens between Longhorns and Sooners.
• 3:58
  It just works that way. That's just how that is.
• 4:01
  But anyway, it's an open date this week for Boath
• 4:04
  Texas and Oklahoma. So Long Worn's head coach Steve Sarkisian
• 4:08
  asked for some opening thoughts and comments about his team
• 4:12
  coming out of the win over Mississippi State and going
• 4:16
  into the bye week.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always great going into a bye coming off
• 4:21
  with victory, you know, having started the season the way
• 4:25
  we had. It's good to be undefeated. But naturally you
• 4:29
  endure some of the bumps and bruises and things that
• 4:32
  that all teams endure. And so I think the buy
• 4:35
  is coming out a really good time for us to
• 4:38
  get some guys healthy, to refresh out of our minds
• 4:41
  and our bodies, to get ready for another kind of
• 4:45
  three game block in the season here coming up here
• 4:47
  in a couple of weeks.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Now, because this is an open date on the schedule
• 4:52
  and a bye week for Texas, the time that they
• 4:55
  were going to keep Sark on the SEC Teleconference was
• 4:58
  going to be short. It wasn't going to be very long.
• 5:01
  So I don't know if he was puzzled by the
• 5:05
  answered the question. Fine, but remember this is the SEC
• 5:10
  Teleconference is a national call, so writers, in broadcasters, media
• 5:18
  from across the country can dial in and they can
• 5:22
  ask a question. So they're all welcome to do that.
• 5:26
  They can do that. As you might imagine, the preponderance
• 5:31
  of the media participating in this thing are going to
• 5:34
  be from SEC markets and outlets, and that includes in
• 5:42
  the Deep South, and it certainly include the state of Alabama.
• 5:45
  So the first question that Sart got was not about
• 5:49
  his football team, but it was about the team they
• 5:54
  beat last year and the quarterback they beat last year,
• 5:57
  Jalen Milroe of Alabama, who, of course Jalen is native Texan,
• 6:00
  played at Katie Tompkins but and had originally committed to
• 6:04
  Texas before quinn Ewers transferred in and then Milroe changed
• 6:07
  his commitment ended up going to Alabama and Milroe has
• 6:10
  really progressed and had a big game last Saturday night
• 6:13
  in Tuscal loose against Georgia. So Sark was asked for
• 6:16
  his thoughts going all the way back when he was
• 6:18
  recruiting Milroe, when he was still on the Alabama staff
• 6:22
  and what he has seen Jalen Milroe accomplish and progress
• 6:27
  in his time as Alabama's quarterback.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had Jalen in camp at Alabama and uh,
• 6:33
  great kid, great parents, obviously got athleticism was there, the
• 6:38
  arm talent was there.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I've give him a lot of credit. You know, he
• 6:42
  really working with developed into the revers the player. You know,
• 6:47
  he just doesn't rely on athleticism. He's a great de
• 6:51
  ball passer, extend plans in his arm, extend plenties, use
• 6:55
  his legs.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: They use him for direct run.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: So, uh, you know, you haven't a win thinking ki
• 7:01
  it could be early on in his high school career
• 7:03
  and then to watch it kind.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Of come to fruition.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm happy for him, but I also validate
• 7:09
  some of the things that you see and that you're
• 7:10
  looking for and the next prop of guys coming up.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: That's a good point too. Because those were the things
• 7:15
  that they were looking for from Jalen Milroe. And remember
• 7:18
  he had his stumbles and growing pains early on, and
• 7:22
  he drew a lot of heat after Texas beeed Alabama
• 7:25
  in that game last year in September in Tuscalusa. But
• 7:29
  he's come a long way since. He helped guide Alabama
• 7:32
  to the College Football Playoff, the SEC championship in College
• 7:35
  Football Playoff berth and now he's the quarterback of the
• 7:39
  number one team in the country and the AP pole
• 7:40
  number two in the coaches, Texas number two and the
• 7:43
  AP number one in the coaches. It's that close right now.
• 7:46
  We'll hear more from Logrorns head coach Steve Sarkashan a

  little later on in the program. We've got some other
• 7:51
  topics we'll get to. We'll update the baseball for you
