0:09
Speaker 2: a call.
0:10
Speaker 3: It has to sound.
0:11
Speaker 4: Crazy because nobody, you know, people don't know what these where.
0:14
Speaker 5: Sitting to your husband and he's talking about fraternity.
0:16
Speaker 4: Tests, right, like the crazy stuff that that would be
0:19
Speaker 4: off and that would be entertaining drama.
0:22
Speaker 6: This guy, this dude was talking about like shoes and whatnot.
0:25
Speaker 5: I'm like, stop, shut up.
0:28
Speaker 3: Maybe shoes were his business.
0:30
Speaker 1: Amber, Indiana Weaken exist seventieston on ESPN Radio, having Kanty

0:39
Speaker 7: Twenty years ago this month, the Miami Heat won their
0:41
Speaker 7: first championship. In the middle of the locker room, there
0:44
Speaker 7: was this big circle. It was covered and they had
0:46
Speaker 7: this whole mantra fifteen. Shrump and pat Riley had these
0:49
Speaker 7: cards that are motivational tokens and they would put them
0:52
Speaker 7: in this thing like every day, but they would cover
0:54
Speaker 7: it so we couldn't see it. That was their mantra
0:55
Speaker 7: fifteen Shrump.
0:56
Speaker 3: Wasn't that the plot?
0:57
Speaker 1: The Major League unsportsman Like Morning, starting at six Eastern
1:01
Speaker 1: on ESBN Radio and on ESBN two.
1:06
Speaker 8: Don't mis's a single hour of a single day of

1:15
Speaker 6: Bryan Family owned and operated since nineteen seventy two. Stepchek
1:19
Speaker 6: Service Center, twenty two hundred Longmire, just down from the
1:22
Speaker 6: post office in College Station.
1:25
Speaker 5: Welcome, Hen, thanks for big with us.
1:27
Speaker 6: It is all Willie Wednesday, Scott Clindenon will be here.
1:31
Speaker 6: We'll have some College World Series stuff. Mallory is here.
1:34
Speaker 6: We've got a ton of stuff to catch up on
1:37
Speaker 6: in the entertainment world. We're playing a game at the
1:43
Speaker 6: College World Series in Omaha. Right now. North Carolina, which
1:49
Speaker 6: will advance with a win over West Virginia to the
1:53
Speaker 6: final series, is leading the Mountaineers twelve to six. That
1:58
Speaker 6: sounds pretty good, but they were leading twelve to one.
2:02
Speaker 6: West Virginia scored five in the seven to make it
2:05
Speaker 6: twelve to six. There's one out in the bottom of
2:07
Speaker 6: the eighth inning right now, and again, a win puts
2:11
Speaker 6: North Carolina in the Championship Series against either Oklahoma or Georgia.
2:19
Speaker 6: Georgia has to beat the Sooners twice and they may
2:25
Speaker 6: be able to do that, although I don't know if
2:27
Speaker 6: they can pitch as well as they pitched against the Longhorns.
2:31
Speaker 6: They gave up one run against Texas in two games.
2:35
Speaker 6: And we will hear from Georgia coming up here in
2:41
Speaker 6: just a little bit. The Astros that it gave you
2:45
Speaker 6: heard here on the zone this afternoon beat the Tigers
2:48
Speaker 6: four to two. Jordan Alvarez had only one base hit
2:53
Speaker 6: and only one run batted in. Pania had a two
2:59
Speaker 6: run homer in that game, again four to the final
3:04
Speaker 6: for the Astros. Lambert gets the win. Last night, the
3:09
Speaker 6: Rangers gave up a bunch of runs in the first
3:13
Speaker 6: inning from Kumar Rocker. He is two and six and
3:22
Speaker 6: he cannot get out of first innings. That's not good
3:25
Speaker 6: news for the Astros. To the Rangers, they lose to
3:30
Speaker 6: the Twins twelve to two. They are not playing today.
3:35
Speaker 6: Why are they not playing on a Wednesday? Because England
3:40
Speaker 6: and Croatia are playing soccer at the Jerry World Stadium
3:48
Speaker 6: this afternoon, so they didn't figure they could do that
3:52
Speaker 6: and wisely decided not to schedule a game today. Let's see.
4:03
Speaker 6: Josh Holly, a senator from Missouri, has sent a letter
4:09
Speaker 6: to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred expressing concern about issuing a
4:17
Speaker 6: warning against three San Francisco Giant players for publicly expressing
4:24
Speaker 6: their Christian faith during Pride Month. Holly has asked Manfred
4:31
Speaker 6: to give him a complete copy of the uniform regulation
4:37
Speaker 6: under which the Giants' pitchers were warned, a list of
4:42
Speaker 6: every instance over the last five seasons in which the
4:46
Speaker 6: league warned, find or disciplined a player or club under
4:50
Speaker 6: that regulation. Any league or club policy, communication, or practice
4:56
Speaker 6: concerning the inclusion or exclusion of players from team controlled
5:01
Speaker 6: media or promotion on the basis of their religious beliefs,
5:05
Speaker 6: Any policy, directive or expectation governing whether players are required, encouraged,
5:11
Speaker 6: or expected to wear Pride Nightcaps, jerseys, or other themed apparel,
5:19
Speaker 6: and all approvals authorizations. Are directives by which the League created, permitted,
5:25
Speaker 6: or arranged the display of Black Lives Matter, United for
5:29
Speaker 6: Change or comparable messaging on jerseys, mounds, and equipment, and
5:35
Speaker 6: any guidance by which the league relaxed its equipment rules
5:39
Speaker 6: to allow players to display social or political messages. Hawley
5:48
Speaker 6: said he expects all of that by day after tomorrow,
5:54
Speaker 6: and by the way, good on him. Ed Hargut has
5:59
Speaker 6: been selected in the induction to the twenty twenty six
6:03
Speaker 6: Southwest Conference Hall of Fame in August. A three year
6:07
Speaker 6: letterman and quarterback for the Aggies led them to the
6:11
Speaker 6: Cotton Bowl and a win over Alabama. The other inductees
6:16
Speaker 6: include by School, Barry Foster and Arkansas, Dennis Gentry at Baylor,
6:21
Speaker 6: Lily de'anoon at Houston, Candice Lessmeinster at Rice, Kevin Robinsen
6:27
Speaker 6: at SMU, Corby Robertson at Texas, Raymond Stewart at TCU,
6:32
Speaker 6: and Robert Hall, the former quarterback at Texas Tech. The
6:37
Speaker 6: US Golf Association says it's taking extreme measures to make
6:42
Speaker 6: sure playing conditions at the US opened at Shinacock don't
6:47
Speaker 6: resemble those of prior tournaments there. USGA Chief of Championships
6:53
Speaker 6: John Budenhammer revealed that there will be slower green speeds,
6:58
Speaker 6: whole locations that will take into account unpredictable and strong winds,
7:05
Speaker 6: and light watering of the putting surfaces between morning and
7:10
Speaker 6: afternoon rounds. It will be tough enough, says Bodenheimer. We
7:15
Speaker 6: have pulled every lever we can to make it fair. Meanwhile,
7:21
Speaker 6: the proposed golf ball rollback spearheaded by the USGA and
7:26
Speaker 6: the RNA, will take place as a single date implementation
7:32
Speaker 6: in January of twenty thirty. In a joint statement, they
7:37
Speaker 6: said through a series of formal feedback processes and numerous
7:41
Speaker 6: individual stakeholder meetings, the governing bodies agreed on an across
7:45
Speaker 6: the game change and how golf balls are tested. In March,
7:50
Speaker 6: they announced it might not implement a new overall distance standard,
7:55
Speaker 6: which would reduce elite driving distances by fifty yards. Now,
8:01
Speaker 6: the governing bodies say they had constructive discussions leading to
8:08
Speaker 6: the outcomes. In January, after a day moving on from
8:17
Speaker 6: John Tortorella, that Vegas Golden Knights announced today they have
8:23
Speaker 6: promoted from within Ryan Craig, who coached their minor league affiliate.
8:28
Speaker 6: Craig is forty four, will be a first time NHL

Speaker 6: head coach. He played for three teams in eight years
8:36
Speaker 6: in the NHL. His playing career ended in twenty seventeen.
8:43
Speaker 6: Also announced that Serena Williams will team with her sister
8:47
Speaker 6: Venus to play doubles as a wild card entry in Wimbledon.
8:52
Speaker 6: Serena is forty four, Venus is forty five they have
8:57
Speaker 6: won six doubles tie between them and twelve doubles are
9:04
Speaker 6: twelve singles titles between them. And it was announced today
9:11
Speaker 6: that Texas A and M track coach Pat Henry is
9:16
Speaker 6: retiring after fifty four seasons, twenty two of them in
9:21
Speaker 6: Aggie Land, in which he produced ten national championships at
9:27
Speaker 6: nineteen final four finishes, a terrific coaching career and by record,
9:36
Speaker 6: the most successful coach in any sport in the history
9:41
Speaker 6: of Texas A and M. It is twelve to seven
9:47
Speaker 6: in the top of the ninth inning, North Carolina leading
9:51
Speaker 6: West Virginia. We will keep an eye on that for
9:54
Speaker 6: you when we come back. We're going to have postgame
9:59
Speaker 6: res action from last night's Georgia Texas game, in which
10:05
Speaker 6: the Bulldogs eliminated the Long Horns two to nothing the final,
10:10
Speaker 6: only the second time Texas had been shut out all season.
10:16
Speaker 6: Texas pitchers struck out seventeen Georgia batters. Georgia pitchers struck
10:22
Speaker 6: out eleven Texas batters twenty eight strikeouts in that game,
10:28
Speaker 6: in which the wind was blowing in at Omaha last night.
10:35
Speaker 6: All right, we're going to take a break tomorrow. We
10:39
Speaker 6: have got our Clark Eisenhower out Door Edition, and then Friday,
10:46
Speaker 6: Ryan Starr will be here. Monday, Dusty will be in
10:53
Speaker 6: along with Rusty Berson in a pairing we like to
10:56
Speaker 6: call Dusty and Rusty. And next Tuesday we will not
11:01
Speaker 6: have a show. We will have Astros Baseball next Tuesday afternoon.
11:07
Speaker 6: We'll come back after this. For Chad Jones Law.
11:11
Speaker 10: I'm Chad Jones. We know sports injuries hurt, and so
11:14
Speaker 10: do injuries from car res. But you didn't sign up
11:17
Speaker 10: to be in a car wreck with someone who wasn't
11:18
Speaker 10: paying attention. It was their fault and now you're left
11:21
Speaker 10: to deal with the consequences. You need to see a doctor,
11:24
Speaker 10: and you're missing work. Chad Jones Law can help. We've

11:36
Speaker 10: nine five five thousand, or go online to Chad Jones
11:39
Speaker 10: Law dot com.
11:41
Speaker 1: Having Kanty and Michelle are unsportsman life.
11:44
Speaker 11: The reason why we exalted Wemby and anointed him prematurely
11:48
Speaker 11: is because we could not believe the intention that came
11:52
Speaker 11: out of this twenty two year old. But when you're
11:54
Speaker 11: not speaking to the media at points during this run,
11:57
Speaker 11: and when you're not shaking the hand of your opponent
12:00
Speaker 11: after they win, that shows your immaturity.
12:03
Speaker 6: You have to be better unsportsman like.
12:06
Speaker 8: Listen in weekday mornings from Fine to Adam is Zone
12:09
Speaker 8: eleven AM and ninety three point seven FM.
12:13

12:29
Speaker 14: Oh, I believe, And yesterday.
12:35
Speaker 3: Suddenly I am not half the man I used to be.
12:44
Speaker 6: There's a shadow hanging over me. Yesterday came suddenly it
12:54
Speaker 6: is all Willie Wednesday. We thought we'd throw that one
12:56
Speaker 6: in because tomorrow is Paul McCartney's eighty fourth birthday tomorrow,
13:04
Speaker 6: so we'll play McCartney tomorrow on the program. We'll play
13:08
Speaker 6: Willie singing McCartney for that song right there. So we
13:12
Speaker 6: got that going for us. Scott Clinton and will be
13:14
Speaker 6: with us here at the bottom of the hour as
13:17
Speaker 6: he is most Wednesday's Mallory is here. We've got a
13:21
Speaker 6: lot of entertainment stuff to catch up on, and some
13:25
Speaker 6: really disturbing entertainment news for you this afternoon, unfortunately. But
13:31
Speaker 6: first we're going to hear from team Georgia coach Wes Johnson,
13:40
Speaker 6: Trey Phelps, and also Dylan Vigue, the pitcher. Phelps was
13:46
Speaker 6: instrumental drove in the first run and then scored the
13:49
Speaker 6: second run on a short fly ball to left field
13:55
Speaker 6: after a collision between the Texas shortstop and left fielder
14:00
Speaker 6: and a very close play at the plate. As it
14:03
Speaker 6: turned out, it didn't matter because Texas did not score
14:07
Speaker 6: any runs. Here is Wes Johnson, Trey Phelps, Dilan Vigu.
14:12
Speaker 6: After the Georgia win last night.
14:16
Speaker 15: I thought it was a really good game tonight, you know,
14:18
Speaker 15: very entertaining. He was going to be tough to score.
14:20
Speaker 15: The conditions, you know, the flags blowing in like they were,
14:23
Speaker 15: and you know there's some balls he had really hard
14:25
Speaker 15: that I don't even know if they got to the track.
14:29
Speaker 5: So it was, you know, you felt like it was
14:31
Speaker 5: going to be a pitching duel.
14:32
Speaker 15: You know, their guy came out and was electric for four.
14:36
Speaker 15: I think he may have had ten nine, ten strikeouts
14:39
Speaker 15: through four. I can't remember the exact number. I just
14:41
Speaker 15: we just told our guys we gotta keep battling man.
14:43
Speaker 15: I mean, it's gonna be it's gonna be tough to
14:45
Speaker 15: score the night on both sides. I thought Dylan came out,
14:49
Speaker 15: got us off to a really good start.
14:52
Speaker 5: He you know, he had eight punches through through four.
14:55
Speaker 15: And then what Justin Bird was able to do to
14:58
Speaker 15: come in and just attack, attacked the strike zone, forced contact,
15:04
Speaker 15: forced early swings on a night, like I said, one
15:06
Speaker 15: is really really tough to score.
15:09
Speaker 5: It is going to be the key to that.
15:10
Speaker 15: And then, you know, as crazy as it sounds, I mean,
15:13
Speaker 15: we bunted tonight and I think that was our third
15:15
Speaker 15: true sacrifice on the year. It was just going to
15:17
Speaker 15: be that kind of night. And then we you know,
15:18
Speaker 15: we actually scored that second run on a you know,
15:21
Speaker 15: on a ball that's you know, I don't know, forty
15:24
Speaker 15: feet behind third on tag play. So I'm just proud
15:27
Speaker 15: of our guys the way we you know, got in
15:29
Speaker 15: there and competed, and uh yeah.
15:32
Speaker 5: Opening up the questions for the student athletes.
15:36
Speaker 16: Android del College Baseball Central Tray, Was there a conversation
15:39
Speaker 16: with any of the coaches after your first two at
15:41
Speaker 16: bats going into the bat into in the fifth against Harrison.
15:46
Speaker 14: No, Sarah wasn't. We was talked to me before the
15:48
Speaker 14: game and he said, no matter what, whether you're five
15:51
Speaker 14: or five h for five, no matter what happens, I
15:53
Speaker 14: just want to see you have fun. And I just
15:55
Speaker 14: kept that going, whether once I was over two in
15:57
Speaker 14: two k's it was whatever. It was like, let's go
15:59
Speaker 14: the get the next step back, keep having fun and
16:01
Speaker 14: good things will possibly happen. If they don't, they don't,
16:03
Speaker 14: was just keep having fun.
16:08
Speaker 17: Anthony dashermjsports dot com Dylan, I guess just first of all,
16:13
Speaker 17: just when did you learn you were getting to start today?
16:15
Speaker 17: And obviously you know, since you're a little injury, it's
16:18
Speaker 17: been a little scuff for you a little bit, but
16:20
Speaker 17: talk about overcoming that today that Bruce owned you, she
16:22
Speaker 17: into and just pitching the way you did this afternoon.
16:26
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, just to start off, I want to
16:28
Speaker 18: thank my coaches, the training staff and everything, because I
16:31
Speaker 18: had quite the bruise on there and they've been tirelessly
16:34
Speaker 18: working on it and just treatment all times of the
16:37
Speaker 18: day and stuff getting me back to one hundred percent
16:38
Speaker 18: for today. And then yeah, just thanking coach Johnson for
16:41
Speaker 18: giving me the chance and.
16:42
Speaker 3: Still believe in me.
16:43
Speaker 18: Obviously the past month hasn't been how me or anybody
16:47
Speaker 18: else would have wanted it to go for me, but
16:49
Speaker 18: just to have Coach Johnson's belief in me like that
16:52
Speaker 18: ignites a flame in me and gives him that belief
16:54
Speaker 18: like he told me pregame like this is why you're
16:56
Speaker 18: here for these big moments like that, and just having
16:58
Speaker 18: his belief and his like him having my back really fired,
17:01
Speaker 18: like my confidence and stuff.
17:06
Speaker 19: No being a eleven point seven question for Dylan uh
17:09
Speaker 19: the starting pitching this weekend so far, I think it's
17:11
Speaker 19: been the best collective performance out of any other weekend
17:14
Speaker 19: the season. Twenty one innings, twenty nine strikeouts, just three walks,
17:18
Speaker 19: and just four earned runs. Just what has it been
17:22
Speaker 19: about you three that have stepped up in the you know,
17:25
Speaker 19: on the biggest stage of the season so far?
17:28
Speaker 20: For sure.
17:29
Speaker 18: I think for the whole staff, it's just been inevitable
17:31
Speaker 18: and we've seen it all fall, winter and spring that
17:34
Speaker 18: like it was gonna click at some point it finally is.
17:36
Speaker 18: We have such a talented pitch and staff and everybody
17:39
Speaker 18: like these big games, everybody stepped up to the occasion
17:41
Speaker 18: so far, So it's just a matter of time. Before
17:43
Speaker 18: it all came together. Wilson More Homa Hall, World Herold Dylan,
17:49
Speaker 18: Just what was your approach against this Texas lineup and
17:52
Speaker 18: what did you have going for you? And that, Uh,
17:54
Speaker 18: the overall approach was just confidence and belief in every
17:57
Speaker 18: single pitch. And that's what Coach Johnson has told me
17:59
Speaker 18: also season and especially going into today, like if I'm
18:02
Speaker 18: gonna fail, I'm gonna make sure I fail hundred percent
18:04
Speaker 18: with full beliefs. So when I come off that field,
18:06
Speaker 18: there's no regrets.
18:07
Speaker 5: And it's super easy too.
18:08
Speaker 18: When I have the belief of my coaches and my teammates,
18:10
Speaker 18: and especially the teammates in the field making all his
18:12
Speaker 18: plays for me as well.
18:16
Speaker 16: Trey Kens the gear Atlanta a general constitution.
18:18
Speaker 21: Can you describe just how tough Harrison was and what
18:20
Speaker 21: it was he was doing.
18:21
Speaker 5: I was making it so hard for you guys.
18:23
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean he was good, mixing up just different
18:26
Speaker 14: different motions, being able to throw in and out of
18:28
Speaker 14: the shadows, and he was just making good spots. And
18:31
Speaker 14: like Wes said, we were gonna have to be able
18:32
Speaker 14: to grind out a great picture like that when they're
18:35
Speaker 14: having a great, great, great guy on the mound putting
18:38
Speaker 14: things where he wants, and then we're gonna have to
18:40
Speaker 14: fight as a collective, as a hidden group and just
18:43
Speaker 14: put the ball in play and not go down as
18:44
Speaker 14: many times as we did. I mean, I know one
18:47
Speaker 14: coach Hagin and Emma will turn it around and probably
18:50
Speaker 14: not have the strikeouts ratio we day today. I'm one
18:53
Speaker 14: hundred percent confident in that.
18:57
Speaker 22: Yeah, Daling Kirk Bowls from the Houston Chronicle, You'll take
18:59
Speaker 22: to hit. Nearly ever pitcher this year been chet out
19:02
Speaker 22: only one other time? Was it mostly your slider that
19:05
Speaker 22: was most effective? And how especially were trying to attack
19:08
Speaker 22: Aiden Robbins and Adrian Rodriguez.
19:11
Speaker 18: Yeah, slaughter is definitely the most dominant pitch for me,
19:14
Speaker 18: and I mean it's kind of been my most dominant
19:16
Speaker 18: pitch all season and stuff. And again, it just comes
19:18
Speaker 18: down to the belief. It's not necessarily a specific strategy,
19:21
Speaker 18: but it's just attacking with full belief and confidence. And
19:24
Speaker 18: I mean that's what we preach as a pitching staff
19:26
Speaker 18: every single day, is just going out at one hundred percent.
19:28
Speaker 18: And everybody has different tools and stuff, and my strength
19:31
Speaker 18: happens to be my slaughterers. So just attacking with full comments.
19:34
Speaker 22: In that specific.
19:37
Speaker 20: Uh.
19:37
Speaker 18: I mean yeah, obviously specific batters have SCLEN reports and stuff.
19:40
Speaker 18: But there's a certain point too where it becomes, you know,
19:42
Speaker 18: attacking hitters with your best stuff as well, and it
19:45
Speaker 18: just happened that some of those hairs had It was
19:47
Speaker 18: a good matchup for me in terms of sliders.
19:49

Speaker 23: steal you first?
20:02
Speaker 14: Yeah, Well, first, I want to give a shout out
20:05
Speaker 14: to our OHO Opinion staff for all the postseason. I
20:08
Speaker 14: mean they've put a great hitting group in their backpack
20:11
Speaker 14: and just carried us all the way to Omaha where
20:13
Speaker 14: we are now.
20:13
Speaker 3: So from we leave that.
20:14
Speaker 14: There first, and sorry, could you repeat the question again?

Speaker 23: Great. Yeah, what kind of win like this do for
20:24
Speaker 23: your guys? Your confidence after the OHU loss?
20:28
Speaker 14: Yeah, just being able to keep the guys to know that, yeah,
20:31
Speaker 14: we we can do it, We will do We've been
20:33
Speaker 14: bouncing back all year pass some tough losses. I mean,
20:36
Speaker 14: if I'm not mistaken. I think we've lost one out
20:39
Speaker 14: of our lives twenty twenty one or so, so just
20:41
Speaker 14: being able to stay with it no matter what. I
20:43
Speaker 14: think we've done a great job at answering the bell.
20:47
Speaker 5: Yeah for sure.
20:48
Speaker 18: I mean even just to build on that, Like it's
20:52
Speaker 18: just we've come together as such a team, especially just Tormat.
20:54
Speaker 18: I feel like with having a choice backs, whether the
20:56
Speaker 18: pitchers are having their down day, the hitters are there
20:58
Speaker 18: all season for us. Whether the hitters are having a
21:00
Speaker 18: down day now we're picking up for them. That's just
21:03
Speaker 18: kind of the team dynamic we have, is being there
21:05
Speaker 18: for each other and coming together and find a way
21:07
Speaker 18: to win every game.
21:08
Speaker 16: Position twenty twenty three with us. You have you taken
21:12
Speaker 16: any experience from that and kind of attributed to this team?
21:16
Speaker 5: Yeah?
21:16
Speaker 15: Absolutely, I mean you go back, I mean we lost
21:19
Speaker 15: a really close game, you know those you know those games,
21:22
Speaker 15: all these games, you know, we're still pretty vivid in
21:23
Speaker 15: your mind, and I think we lost, Oh man, you
21:27
Speaker 15: just got me.
21:27
Speaker 5: Four three three two something like that.
21:29
Speaker 15: To to wake and a very similar fashion as we
21:32
Speaker 15: lost last night. Came back, had to play another conference
21:35
Speaker 15: opponent in Tennessee again an elimination game was fortunate enough
21:39
Speaker 15: to you know, to get that one like we did tonight.
21:42
Speaker 15: And yeah, so you draw on those experiences and you know,
21:46
Speaker 15: just tell the guys that, yeah, it's been done before.
21:49
Speaker 15: It's not an impossible task. And but but you're not
21:53
Speaker 15: gonna you're not gonna win three games or or whatever
21:56
Speaker 15: about trying to do in one. And so you know,
21:58
Speaker 15: first step tonight was go out out and play in
22:01
Speaker 15: a really tough convention conditions against a really really good
22:04
Speaker 15: pitching staff. And and so we got that one. And
22:07
Speaker 15: you know, now to Mars, just another day, man, We're just.
22:10
Speaker 5: Gonna come out.
22:10
Speaker 15: We get to play baseball again tomorrow and we get
22:13
Speaker 15: to play nine innings.
22:14
Speaker 5: Man, So you know what more could you ask?
22:17
Speaker 6: Wes Johnson. Georgia has moved a little bit closer. They
22:23
Speaker 6: need to beat Oklahoma twice. This just in trade. Don't
22:30
Speaker 6: see what yours. Let's do that again. No, wait, this
22:40
Speaker 6: just did. Nobody will know the difference. North Carolina has
22:49
Speaker 6: moved into the Championship Series for the College World Series.
22:54
Speaker 6: They won this afternoon twelve to seven over West Virginia,
23:00
Speaker 6: so the tar Heels are into the Championship Series. They
23:06
Speaker 6: await the winner of Georgia Oklahoma. That game is tonight.
23:12
Speaker 6: Georgia will have to win two to get to the
23:16
Speaker 6: championship series. Oklahoma has to win one of two. If
23:21
Speaker 6: they win tonight, they get the extra day's rest as well.
23:25
Speaker 6: Game one is scheduled for Saturday evening at seven o'clock.
23:31
Speaker 6: So you got that going for you. Now, let's hear
23:35
Speaker 6: from the losers. Jim Schlasnagel, pitcher Luke Harrison, and catcher
23:44
Speaker 6: Carson Teddy.
23:46
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, congratulations of Georgia. They played really well. I
23:50
Speaker 12: thought starting pitcher for them did a great job. We
23:53
Speaker 12: didn't execute our approach against him very well, but he
23:56
Speaker 12: did a great job and we just couldn't get the
23:59
Speaker 12: big hit. I thought Luke was obviously outstanding. Sam was outstanding.
24:05
Speaker 12: You know, balls bounces didn't go our way tonight. But
24:09
Speaker 12: really proud of our team in the season we had
24:11
Speaker 12: finishing in Omaha and look forward to being back.
24:13
Speaker 4: Parson on the tag on that pop fly, did you
24:18
Speaker 4: put that tag where you wanted it to with him
24:20
Speaker 4: sliding into your mid or or did you wish that
24:22
Speaker 4: you would put it out on his hand?
24:25
Speaker 24: I think that I did what I was trying to
24:28
Speaker 24: do get the ball and put it on as quick
24:30
Speaker 24: as I possibly could. I think there are different ways
24:32
Speaker 24: I could have gone about that, but I think I
24:35
Speaker 24: did what I was trying to do.
24:39
Speaker 16: Andreidel College Baseball Central Luke. I talked to Coach Wiener
24:42
Speaker 16: on Thursday, and he said that this staff was anchored
24:45
Speaker 16: by you, and you're on his mount rushmore favorite pitchers
24:47
Speaker 16: still have worked with and favorite players that have coached.
24:50
Speaker 16: What does it mean to get that high regard from
24:52
Speaker 16: Coach Wiener and have worked with him these last few years.
24:56
Speaker 25: I mean, Max has been very, very influential in my life,
24:59
Speaker 25: very grateful for everything he's done for me and just
25:01
Speaker 25: believing in me at times when I didn't believe in myself.
25:05
Speaker 25: And you know, as far as the leadership stuff goes,
25:08
Speaker 25: I just try to set a good example for the
25:10
Speaker 25: younger guys. As the older guy in the room and
25:13
Speaker 25: the guy who's been a long horn for five years,
25:14
Speaker 25: you know that that's my job is to, you know,
25:17
Speaker 25: show him what it's like to be a long horn.
25:18
Speaker 25: And you know, I'll never get to wear this uniform again,
25:21
Speaker 25: but I'll be a long run for the rest of
25:23
Speaker 25: my life.
25:24
Speaker 23: Cedra Golden Austin, American States Carson, what was their starter
25:27
Speaker 23: able to do to keep you guys off the base paths?
25:32
Speaker 24: I think that he just did a good job of
25:34
Speaker 24: using his pitcheons to his advantage. I thought we swung
25:36
Speaker 24: at some pictures we shouldn't have and it made him
25:39
Speaker 24: have a successful life.
25:44
Speaker 26: David Eckert Horns twenty four to seven for lou What
25:48
Speaker 26: did it mean for you to get back here under
25:52
Speaker 26: this you know, kind of new regime, new guys, and
25:55
Speaker 26: you know, kind of be the first first group to
25:58
Speaker 26: get back here with the new set up.
26:01
Speaker 24: Yeah.
26:01
Speaker 25: I mean I told the guys earlier this year that
26:05
Speaker 25: if we don't go to them, all my time as
26:06
Speaker 25: a long Horn as a failure. And I'm glad that
26:10
Speaker 25: we made it and we're able to come and compete here.
26:12
Speaker 25: And you know, you get here and you get a
26:16
Speaker 25: bunch of good teams playing baseball together and you just
26:19
Speaker 25: kind of go let the chips fall where they may,
26:21
Speaker 25: and you know, a couple of things didn't go our way,
26:24
Speaker 25: But very proud of this team and how far we
26:27
Speaker 25: come to get here, and you know everything it took
26:29
Speaker 25: from you know, shaking the lineup up to you know,
26:32
Speaker 25: the pitching, which was, you know, rock solid all year.
26:34
Speaker 25: It felt like and you know, bitter ending. But you know,
26:38
Speaker 25: I'll remember this time with a smile forever.
26:42
Speaker 22: It was this part of your best game as a
26:44
Speaker 22: long horn. Did you feel and you were racking up
26:47
Speaker 22: so many strikeouts? What was the key to that tonight?
26:50
Speaker 25: Yeah, I think just the the moment. You know, it
26:55
Speaker 25: was big, But I knew that all I had to
26:58
Speaker 25: do was go give it everything I got. And you know,
27:01
Speaker 25: I really felt like I gave every ounce of what
27:03
Speaker 25: I had today and you know, obviously the results were solid,
27:07
Speaker 25: but weren't able to come out with the win. But
27:09
Speaker 25: you know, very proud of the way that I competed
27:11
Speaker 25: personally today. And uh, you know that's something that you know,
27:15
Speaker 25: when I look back and realized that I went out,
27:18
Speaker 25: you know, with my best game, you know, I could
27:21
Speaker 25: be grateful for that.
27:22
Speaker 16: It's your perspective on the play in center field and
27:24
Speaker 16: the subsequent review, as well as maybe the ramifications of
27:28
Speaker 16: reviewing what is a catch and what isn't a catch
27:30
Speaker 16: in baseball.
27:32
Speaker 12: Uh well, I think all catch non catches should be reviewed,
27:36
Speaker 12: whether that's in the infield or the outfield. I think
27:38
Speaker 12: that's something we can we can change. I obviously, you know,
27:43
Speaker 12: you can't go out and argue. There wasn't really anything
27:45
Speaker 12: to argue. I don't know what what did they say
27:48
Speaker 12: on TV? They didn't survive the catch or something like
27:49
Speaker 12: that basically, So you know, when I saw the replay,
27:52
Speaker 12: I can see where it could go both ways pretty much.
27:57
Speaker 12: But that's just the breaks I mean we had. We
27:58
Speaker 12: didn't had that, and then you had the bleeder through
28:00
Speaker 12: the right side. So it wasn't our night. We know,
28:03
Speaker 12: we we pitched and played defense well enough to win
28:05
Speaker 12: this game. We just did an extcute well on offense
28:07
Speaker 12: and and George's pitching was outstanding.
28:12
Speaker 22: Kirk Bowls from the Euston Chronicle. How big did you
28:15
Speaker 22: feel like that first inning was when maybe he had
28:17
Speaker 22: dinning on the ropes a little bit and just kind
28:20
Speaker 22: of the struggles of your top three hitter?
28:22
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think, uh yeah, we had you know they
28:28
Speaker 12: vigues that how you say it, vig Yeah, I mean
28:30
Speaker 12: he most of his starts, you know, he kind of
28:32
Speaker 12: opens for him so if he get if he gets
28:34
Speaker 12: it going, then they'll leave him in there a little bit.
28:36
Speaker 12: They had the bullpen up and rolling in the first inning,
28:38
Speaker 12: and you know, we had a good guy at the
28:40
Speaker 12: plate and Mendoza uses the right side of the field
28:42
Speaker 12: really well, uh, he just chased to pitch off the plate.
28:46
Speaker 12: So yeah, I mean that's you know, we talk about
28:49
Speaker 12: you know, two out hitting. You know, we had we
28:50
Speaker 12: scored eight runs with two outs yesterday and uh, you know,
28:54
Speaker 12: if we get if we get a bleeder in the
28:56
Speaker 12: fall in there, then then maybe it's a different ballgame.
28:59
Speaker 12: And certainly they would have gone on the bullpen quicker,
29:01
Speaker 12: I know. But then we let him get confident and
29:03
Speaker 12: then he started making better pitches and we kept chasing
29:06
Speaker 12: now the strike zone. So yeah, in these games with
29:09
Speaker 12: two great teams, it's those little moments change it.
29:13
Speaker 6: All right, Texas out, Georgia is still in. They need
29:17
Speaker 6: to beat Oklahoma twice. And do we need to re
29:22
Speaker 6: emphasize that Georgia just owns Texas especially. I think they
29:31
Speaker 6: beat Texas in basketball this year too. I'm pretty sure
29:34
Speaker 6: that happened even when they weren't very good. They owned
29:39
Speaker 6: the Longhorns. Sart can't beat Kirby Smart and Schlats couldn't
29:48
Speaker 6: beat Georgia in baseball in Omaha, they got outscored nine
29:52
Speaker 6: to one in the two games, one run from a
29:56
Speaker 6: pitching staff. Frankly that I mean, they didn't come in
30:00
Speaker 6: with a lights out reputation, but against Texas there were
30:06
Speaker 6: lights out in both of those games. We're gonna take
30:11
Speaker 6: a break. We're gonna be joined by Scott clintenon. We've
30:16
Speaker 6: got some topics here. North Carolina is into the finals
30:21

33:58
Speaker 6: I guess that is all Welly wins Day. A number
34:01
Speaker 6: of years ago, you might remember that Dan Rather had
34:05
Speaker 6: his own personal protests when he was anchoring the CBS
34:09
Speaker 6: News because like the US Open, tennis had gone long,
34:15
Speaker 6: or some sporting event had gone long, and Dan was
34:18
Speaker 6: all upset about it. And threw a hissy fit and
34:22
Speaker 6: locked himself in the bathroom and wouldn't come out, and
34:25
Speaker 6: there was eight minutes of dead air on the CBS network.
34:31
Speaker 6: Eight minutes or seven minutes? Google that tray? Would you
34:34
Speaker 6: Dan rather silence? I don't know. I don't remember how
34:45
Speaker 6: long it was, but he threw a little temper tantrum.
34:48
Speaker 6: The reason I'm thinking I'm saying this is because Scotland
34:51
Speaker 6: Dinnon was not here and was late, and I was
34:55
Speaker 6: wondering what would happen if there was just dead air,
34:58
Speaker 6: I mean just complete dead air, and then Scott could
35:03
Speaker 6: come out with a statement. And how long was that, Trey?
35:08
Speaker 6: Have you found that? How long he was off the air?
35:13
Speaker 20: Oh?
35:14
Speaker 6: Wow, that's longer than I thought. Eighty seven, almost forty
35:16
Speaker 6: years ago. No, no, Dan Rather when he threw his
35:20
Speaker 6: little temper tantrum, Oh yeah.
35:22
Speaker 3: I'm not. I was trying to pool.
35:24
Speaker 29: I was honoring Scott DeLucia six minutes, Okay, I was
35:27
Speaker 29: honoring Scott DeLucia Andy by not getting caught up in
35:32
Speaker 29: a conversation while on this floor.
35:36
Speaker 6: Okay, Cessna would have been here, he is. He has
35:43
Speaker 6: been close to being late before I am here. Six
35:46
Speaker 6: minutes of dead air when Dan threw the little temper
35:50
Speaker 6: tantrum back at CBS nineteen forty eighty seven. Okay, Trey
35:56
Speaker 6: looked at me like I was crazy. But do you
35:58
Speaker 6: even know who Dan?
36:00
Speaker 5: There is?
36:00
Speaker 6: Trave you ever heard of Dan? Rather, that's for the best.
36:03
Speaker 6: I mean, that's fine, it doesn't matter.
36:05
Speaker 3: He only covered the assassination of JFK in Dallas and.
36:09
Speaker 6: Tried to steal the film of Zuppruder. By the way,
36:14
Speaker 6: when they were all gathered in an office on Saturday,
36:17
Speaker 6: once the word got out and that it was going
36:20
Speaker 6: to be given to one news gathering entity. Rather was
36:25
Speaker 6: trying to sneak in and steal it. But you know,
36:28
Speaker 6: we wouldn't expect anything less from him. Okay, you're Astros.
36:36
Speaker 6: They're rolling now. They've won two in a row over
36:39
Speaker 6: the Detroit Tigers.
36:41
Speaker 3: That was the first time in the last six series
36:46
Speaker 3: that they have won the last game of the series.
36:49
Speaker 6: Well, most of those games have been on Sunday. They're like,
36:52
Speaker 6: oh and six on Sundays. Yes, they're like, BYU, they
36:57
Speaker 6: should refuse to play on Sunday.
37:00
Speaker 3: Agree with it.
37:00
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm sorry, We're not gonna play on Sundays anymore.
37:06
Speaker 6: And not only that, not only did they beat Frambourg
37:12
Speaker 6: Valdez yesterday, but they won today with Jordan Alvarez having
37:21
Speaker 6: only one hit and one run bat at it. What's
37:24
Speaker 6: up with that? He is slumping? Triple Crown. No, he's
37:30
Speaker 6: not gonna win the Triple Crown. So you don't think
37:34
Speaker 6: his batting average is gonna.
37:35
Speaker 30: Stay don't know.
37:36
Speaker 6: I don't think his RBI account is gonna be high enough.
37:39
Speaker 3: I think they're going to pitch around him. His batting
37:43
Speaker 3: average will remain relatively.
37:45
Speaker 6: Static because of the walks.
37:46
Speaker 30: Because of the walks, Okay.
37:48
Speaker 3: The home runs will be the home runs. I don't
37:51
Speaker 3: think the RBI total will come because they're gonna pitch
37:53
Speaker 3: around me.
37:54
Speaker 6: Okay, interesting, I hadn't thought about that.
38:00
Speaker 3: Do you remember when I said that that first baseman
38:03
Speaker 3: couldn't play at all for the Houston Astros.
38:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, you were on him pretty good?
38:08
Speaker 30: Did I say that?
38:09
Speaker 6: Yeah?
38:09
Speaker 3: Was I owning pretty good?
38:10
Speaker 6: Yeah? Okay, Walker, Christian Walker, christ you wanted him. You
38:15
Speaker 6: didn't even care if he was traded. You wanted him
38:17
Speaker 6: to just be given away, given away. He's third in
38:20
Speaker 6: the American League in RBI with fifty two behind only
38:24
Speaker 6: Nick Kurtz and jord On Alvarez. He has tied for
38:27
Speaker 6: fifth in the American League and home runs with eighteen.
38:31
Speaker 6: He has sixth in total bases with one hundred and
38:33
Speaker 6: thirty seven, and he's tied for six and extra base
38:37
Speaker 6: hits with thirty two.
38:40
Speaker 3: And he's not making any airs at first. He's still
38:42
Speaker 3: playing first base like he.
38:43
Speaker 6: And where how many games under five hundred would this
38:47
Speaker 6: team be if he was if they had listen to you,
38:51
Speaker 6: because right now there's six under five hundred. How many
38:55
Speaker 6: games under five hundred would they be without Christian Walker?
38:59
Speaker 3: Well, considering that you lost, I wanted.
39:03
Speaker 6: By the way, Christian Walker has not committed an error
39:07
Speaker 6: in seventy four games and five hundred and twenty two
39:11
Speaker 6: straight total chances.
39:13
Speaker 30: Yeah.
39:16
Speaker 3: I did say they couldn't play defense. Did I say
39:18
Speaker 3: that day that he couldn't play defense?
39:20
Speaker 6: You were not talking defensively at all?
39:23
Speaker 3: No?
39:23
Speaker 30: I was not.
39:24
Speaker 3: No, So I'm very happy considering that while.
39:27
Speaker 6: We're on this, I want this on record, while we're
39:29
Speaker 6: talking about defense, Jake Berker cannot play defense. He caught
39:34
Speaker 6: a pop up like in the game, not last night,
39:36
Speaker 6: but night before after he had dropped a pop up,
39:39
Speaker 6: which I don't know how many of that makes this year.
39:42
Speaker 6: But the announcers are like, he caught it, he caught it,
39:46
Speaker 6: and you know, the Razors are ahead. I think no,
39:49
Speaker 6: they were behind because it's the Twins. They were behind,
39:53
Speaker 6: but and it was kind of up against the fence,
39:55
Speaker 6: you know, by the dugout.
39:57
Speaker 3: Jake Berger caught the pop up.
40:00
Speaker 6: I'm going, well, it's a pop up and he's a
40:03
Speaker 6: major league player to play. Yeah, he's getting paid a
40:06
Speaker 6: lot of money. Are you supposed to catch pop ups?
40:09
Speaker 23: Not?
40:09
Speaker 6: If you're Jake Berger, you're not. And anywhere within the
40:14
Speaker 6: Rangers infield when the ball goes in the air, you
40:18
Speaker 6: just hold your breath because not because necessarily the rest
40:23
Speaker 6: of them have to drop they they can't call the ball.
40:29
Speaker 6: Kind of like I watched the College World Series the
40:32
Speaker 6: last two nights or the Texas.
40:36
Speaker 3: Somebody out there.
40:37
Speaker 6: Somebody should probably all the time.
40:40
Speaker 3: But how many times did we see that happen?
40:44
Speaker 30: How many in the in the eighth.
40:46
Speaker 6: That was just one of about four that I saw, right, Yes,
40:50
Speaker 6: with pop ups? I don't know why why is that
40:54
Speaker 6: so difficult? I don't understand that why that's so difficult?
40:59
Speaker 6: And you know what it's it's not just the Rangers,
41:03
Speaker 6: and it's not just the Longhorns. I watch a lot
41:06
Speaker 6: of baseball. I watch Major League Baseball. I see it
41:10
Speaker 6: almost every day. It's like into that Little league. I
41:15
Speaker 6: mean in little league, are you taught to yell out
41:18
Speaker 6: it's my ball? Yes, and certain positions, right, it's just
41:24
Speaker 6: you're you're told to look if this guy is going
41:27
Speaker 6: to catch the ball, right, like the center fielder. He's
41:31
Speaker 6: got a lot of ground to cover, right. But but
41:34
Speaker 6: I saw the other night and it maybe George was
41:37
Speaker 6: that Georgia. Yeah, the left fielders called it and the
41:41
Speaker 6: guy runs from a right center field all the way
41:45
Speaker 6: across the field and almost knocks down the left fielder. Yes,
41:49
Speaker 6: good gosh.
41:50
Speaker 3: Well the left fielder is camped.
41:52
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh no, he's he's there and he's called
41:55
Speaker 6: and he hadn't moved for the ball. He's it's in
41:58
Speaker 6: left field. Yes, I don't get it.
42:00
Speaker 3: So what are the two out of three things that
42:02
Speaker 3: can go wrong when a ball is hit on the
42:03
Speaker 3: infield for the Rangers.
42:04
Speaker 6: For the Rangers, two out of three.
42:06
Speaker 3: Two out of three. It's not the FOURD pass two
42:08
Speaker 3: out of.
42:09
Speaker 6: Three, that's correct. For the first thing that happens is
42:12
Speaker 6: they missed the ball. The second thing that happens, well, no,
42:15
Speaker 6: there's three out of four. The second thing that happens
42:19
Speaker 6: is they can't make the throw to first base.
42:21
Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't count that.
42:23
Speaker 6: Okay. The third thing that happens is they make the
42:26
Speaker 6: wrong throw to the wrong base if they catch the ball.
42:29
Speaker 3: No, that was not what I was thinking.
42:31
Speaker 6: Or you can collide with the other field with the
42:37
Speaker 6: Rangers four out of.
42:37
Speaker 3: Five or bad. Or they can catch it and get
42:41
Speaker 3: it out.
42:43
Speaker 6: Yes, that's that's the fifth thing that that generally doesn't
42:47
Speaker 6: happen with that infield. Oh, it is painful. So I
42:51
Speaker 6: texted Rusty last night, I said, is it too early
42:54
Speaker 6: to quit on this team? Because I'm fortunately, I'm watching
42:59
Speaker 6: the College Series, so I didn't even I didn't watch.
43:04
Speaker 6: I flipped over twice during commercials for the College World
43:08
Speaker 6: Series and saw the score, and even flip back and
43:12
Speaker 6: watch the commercials for the College World Series. That's how
43:15
Speaker 6: bad it was.
43:16
Speaker 3: Did the Rangers win last night?
43:18
Speaker 6: No, they got killed and the rampaging Twins they're on
43:22
Speaker 6: a huge role right now that won two in a row.
43:25
Speaker 3: I thought they're still playing the Red Sox.
43:27
Speaker 6: No, no, they're they're killing the Rangers and Kumar Rocker
43:32
Speaker 6: can't get out of the first inning. I have in
43:35
Speaker 6: fact this it's just not fair to blame Kumar Rocker.
43:40
Speaker 6: This whole team cannot get out of the first all
43:43
Speaker 6: of them. They can't h de Gram like Big Game night.
43:48
Speaker 6: They give up. I don't know how many first run
43:52
Speaker 6: I don't know how many first pitch home runs they've
43:54
Speaker 6: given up. It is significant, a significant, and I don't
44:02
Speaker 6: understand it all right, we need a break. Astro's report
44:05
Speaker 6: which is from last night's win, not.

45:26
Speaker 21: The Houston Astros trailed for most of the game against
45:28
Speaker 21: the Tigers last night, but an eighth inning rally put
45:31
Speaker 21: the Astros on top final score four to two. Detroit
45:34
Speaker 21: struck first with an RBI single in the top second.
45:36
Speaker 21: That would be the only earned run allowed for Hunter
45:38
Speaker 21: Brown in his first start since late March. Brown finished
45:41
Speaker 21: the outing with only three hits in one run aloud,
45:43
Speaker 21: including seven strikeouts through five and two thirds innings. Houston
45:47
Speaker 21: would tie the game at one in the fifth with
45:48
Speaker 21: Rayel Delgado scoring off of a pass ball, and then
45:51
Speaker 21: things went crazy in the eighth as the Tigers used
45:53
Speaker 21: to sacrifice flying to take a one run lead, but
45:55
Speaker 21: the Astros did them one better with the bases loaded,
45:58
Speaker 21: two RBI single from Delgado again followed by a fielder's
46:01
Speaker 21: choice play to score Joey Loperfido Josh Hader would come
46:04
Speaker 21: on for his third save of the year and secure
46:06
Speaker 21: the win for Houston. Game three will be a rubber
46:08

47:01
Speaker 3: A few old dreamsmes that I.
47:04
Speaker 29: Can't you.
47:07
Speaker 6: Who by my memory things that used to be from
47:16
Speaker 6: the IRS tapes? Who buy my memories? It's all Wellie Wednesday,
47:23
Speaker 6: Scott Clint Diennon is here with us before we leave
47:28
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball. Uh, I'm beginning to think that five
47:35
Speaker 6: hundred may keep any team in this division race.
47:41
Speaker 3: In this September, CBS Sports does a.
47:45
Speaker 6: Projection, okay of everything. Ever, every time I think Seattle,
47:50
Speaker 6: may you know, is probably the best team still, they're
47:53
Speaker 6: going to run away with it. They can't. The Astros can't.
47:56
Speaker 6: They just they're like six and four in their last
47:59
Speaker 6: ten that they were five and five before they won
48:01
Speaker 6: two in a row against Detroit. The Rangers can't. They
48:05
Speaker 6: got to five hundred and celebrated and I have lost
48:08
Speaker 6: three in a row.
48:10
Speaker 3: So they say that Seattle is gonna win eighty seven games.
48:15
Speaker 6: Okay, so that's a little bit over five hundred.
48:18
Speaker 3: They say that the Athletics are gonna win seventy eight games, okay.
48:23
Speaker 3: They say the Texas Rangers are gonna win eighty.
48:25
Speaker 6: One games, perfect five hundred.
48:28
Speaker 3: And that the Houston Astros are gonna win seventy seven.
48:32
Speaker 30: Games and before okay, and then it's.
48:34
Speaker 3: Gonna be the Angels at sixty seven.
48:38
Speaker 6: Okay.
48:40
Speaker 3: I think they're low on the Astros me too.
48:44
Speaker 6: I've said I thought the Astros are the only team
48:47
Speaker 6: capable of challenging to win this division. They've got now,
48:52
Speaker 6: they have a hundred brown back who pitched well last
48:55
Speaker 6: night apparently, and they're getting some people healthy.
49:00
Speaker 3: Right, yes, and her Diaz caught oh okay, caught, I
49:05
Speaker 3: mean caught Hunter Brown.
49:07
Speaker 30: Okay, so he came off the d L the same time.
49:09
Speaker 6: Okay, So you.
49:10
Speaker 3: Are starting to get some of those players back.
49:12
Speaker 30: Yeah.
49:13
Speaker 6: The Rangers are just the opposite, so that all their
49:16
Speaker 6: injuries now have been since the Astros are getting healthy. Yeah,
49:21
Speaker 6: but Cory Segers spent more time on the il than
49:25
Speaker 6: he has on the field in the last three years.
49:27
Speaker 6: So no big surprise.
49:30
Speaker 30: And what's his batting average, Well.
49:32
Speaker 6: It's under two hundred I think, okay, yeah, I think
49:35
Speaker 6: it's under two hundred. Evan Carter is also on the IL.
49:40
Speaker 6: He's under two hundred. Watt Langford came back and he's
49:46
Speaker 6: been okay since he came back. They're missing Helman got
49:52
Speaker 6: his hand broken on a pitch, so he's out significant time.
49:58
Speaker 6: So they were playing a second base been in left
50:00
Speaker 6: field the other night. No, it's not good.
50:04
Speaker 3: Is that the one who caught the ball?
50:06
Speaker 6: Uh? He can actually probably catch better.
50:10
Speaker 3: But somebody got put in for him on the infield
50:12
Speaker 3: that came.
50:15
Speaker 6: You know, I don't think they have anybody with a
50:18
Speaker 6: regular position on the infield except for Josh Young at
50:21
Speaker 6: third base. Burger plays first base more than any other player,
50:27
Speaker 6: but he's terrible. And then between second and shortstop, they've
50:32
Speaker 6: they've really played a lot of different play.
50:35
Speaker 30: D first baseman too.
50:40
Speaker 6: I don't know who that ranger.
50:44
Speaker 30: It was good like with the with the Jack Peterson,
50:47
Speaker 30: Jack Peterson. Yeah, Jack Peterson isn't good.
50:50
Speaker 6: He hasn't played hardly any defense. He's played a little
50:54
Speaker 6: bit of outfield, but he didn't play much of that well,
51:00
Speaker 6: I will say this, Jock Peterson is over the Mendoza line,
51:04
Speaker 6: but he wasn't last year.
51:05
Speaker 3: That's good.
51:06
Speaker 6: So he's actually been hitting a little bit. He doesn't
51:10
Speaker 6: hit it a lot, but when he does hit it,
51:12
Speaker 6: it goes a long way. So I don't know, it's
51:17
Speaker 6: it's just it's not good. They're not They're not real
51:21
Speaker 6: fun to watch right now. I'm a little discouraged if
51:23
Speaker 6: you can't tell. And and you know, and I just
51:26
Speaker 6: told you that games they they could possibly every every
51:34
Speaker 6: time they get below you know, five hundred, they kind
51:37
Speaker 6: of climb back and you go, hey, you know, they
51:40
Speaker 6: look good tonight. It's one of those things. It's it's
51:43
Speaker 6: like night to night. You know, they're not very good,
51:45
Speaker 6: but but you know that they're good enough.
51:47
Speaker 3: But we hadn't even talked about the wild card. This
51:50
Speaker 3: is why Bud Frick seely created the created the system.
51:55
Speaker 6: Maybe so oh, which reminds me, do you want to
51:58
Speaker 6: hear the wildcat standing?
51:59
Speaker 20: Yeah?
51:59
Speaker 30: Go ahead?
52:00
Speaker 3: Okay, the Athletics have the third wild card.
52:02
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, okay.
52:05
Speaker 3: The Blue Jays, the Rangers, the Twins, the Astros, and
52:10
Speaker 3: the Orioles are within two and a half of them.
52:12
Speaker 6: Okay, so there's a lot of teams fighting for it. Yes,
52:18
Speaker 6: some of those teams are gonna have to make a decision.
52:20
Speaker 6: Are they buyers or sellers? Even though they're in the
52:23
Speaker 6: quote hunt for the wild card? Everybody's a buyer, I
52:27
Speaker 6: don't think so.
52:27
Speaker 3: Would you trade anybody of any importance.
52:29
Speaker 30: For the Rangers?
52:30
Speaker 6: Yeah?
52:31
Speaker 3: Do you have players? I'm saying to.
52:33
Speaker 5: Get a lot or two?
52:36
Speaker 6: Do you mean for the run to buy?
52:39
Speaker 5: Oh?
52:39
Speaker 6: No, they're gonna be sellers. No, No, they're gonna be sellers.
52:43
Speaker 6: They they made that decision. But with the season started,
52:47
Speaker 6: with their with their coaching higher well yes, a with
52:51
Speaker 6: their coaching higher coaching fire. Yeah, and and also uh,
52:57
Speaker 6: with their payroll. They they made that decision. I think
53:00
Speaker 6: that decision has been made.
53:02
Speaker 3: You're in the mix.
53:03
Speaker 6: I think there could be sellers.
53:05
Speaker 3: How can you be a seller?
53:06
Speaker 6: The problem is, well, that's the question who they're going
53:09
Speaker 6: to sell. You know, they could sell pitching for sure,
53:12
Speaker 6: everybody needs pitching, you know, they could They could sell
53:15
Speaker 6: to Gram and they could sell Nate.
53:17
Speaker 30: And I thought Nate was like unsellable.
53:21
Speaker 6: He has a yes he has he would have both
53:24
Speaker 6: have the they'd have to agree to it for sure.
53:27
Speaker 6: They can't just get rid of them. They've got contract
53:31
Speaker 6: I mean language in their contracts.
53:33
Speaker 30: I mean, uh, would you sell to the A's.
53:37
Speaker 6: No, No, I wouldn't sell anybody within my division. Why
53:40
Speaker 6: would you do that?
53:41
Speaker 30: I don't know.
53:42
Speaker 6: No, I don't think so. No. I did want to
53:47
Speaker 6: mention this, and I mentioned it at the top before
53:49
Speaker 6: coming in. I want to give a shout out again
53:53
Speaker 6: to Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri, who has sent a
53:57
Speaker 6: letter to MLB commission Rob Manfred demanding response on a
54:08
Speaker 6: complete copy of the uniform regulation under which the Giant
54:12
Speaker 6: pitchers were warned with any internal guidance, governance writing markings
54:17
Speaker 6: or symbols on player apparel equipment, a list of every
54:20
Speaker 6: instance in the last five years in which the league
54:23
Speaker 6: warned to find or otherwise disciplined a player or a
54:26
Speaker 6: club under that regulation, identifying in each case the message
54:31
Speaker 6: at issue and the action the league took. Any any league.
54:36
Speaker 6: This is the commissioner, by the way, who moved the
54:39
Speaker 6: All Star Game out of Atlanta because of supposed irregular
54:43
Speaker 6: voting or poor voting rules. This, this guy is just
54:50
Speaker 6: a total disaster. And I thought it would be hard
54:54
Speaker 6: to be more woke than the NBA. And I believe
54:56
Speaker 6: Rob Manfred with his latest little stunt, as become more
55:00
Speaker 6: woke than the NBA. And I thought that was impossible,
55:03
Speaker 6: absolutely impossible. But Rob Madford has reached the top of
55:07
Speaker 6: the list.
55:07
Speaker 3: You've got to be number one, ship.
55:09
Speaker 6: And he's number one right now. But this is awesome
55:12
Speaker 6: and good on Josh Holly for standing up for these
55:17
Speaker 6: players who would not wear Pride night caps. He said,
55:22
Speaker 6: any policy, directive, or expectation, formal or informal, governing whether
55:28
Speaker 6: players are required, encouraged, or expected to wear Pride night caps, jerseys,
55:33
Speaker 6: or other themed apparel, and whether a player who declines
55:37
Speaker 6: to do so faces any consequence beyond the league's written rules,
55:41
Speaker 6: including in plaguing time, roster assignment decisions, club media promotion,
55:46
Speaker 6: or standing within the organization. And he needs that information
55:51
Speaker 6: by Friday, so we'll see.
55:53
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think any of the part about being
55:56
Speaker 3: disciplined by the club happens. I'm saying inside at the
56:00
Speaker 3: clubhouse or playing time or anything like that. Okay, I
56:04
Speaker 3: don't think as any of that is going to happen.
56:05
Speaker 6: So you think this quote formal warning is for publicity's sake, only.
56:10
Speaker 30: For publicity sake.
56:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't care if it is, and it's not
56:14
Speaker 6: only for publicity's sake.
56:16
Speaker 3: But it's already been them, which is fine.
56:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is. Hopefully it has already been them, and
56:22
Speaker 6: and people are upset about it, and I'm upset about it,
56:25
Speaker 6: and I hope that it leads to some formal things,
56:32
Speaker 6: especially forcing players to wear uniforms and decals and symbols
56:39
Speaker 6: that they don't believe in. So hopefully that will be
56:43
Speaker 6: the least of what happens over this. All right, we
56:46
Speaker 6: need a break. We'll close out the first hour. Scott
56:48
Speaker 6: and I will come back. We've got other topics. I
