- 1:36Speaker 3: lip service, but just uh, you know, with all the
- 1:38Speaker 3: baseball that we play with Membhus and Hudson, like, one
- 1:42Speaker 3: of the coolest things is they just love getting in

- 1:50Speaker 3: Brian alone, but just enjoying, you know, the weather. For
- 1:56Speaker 3: the most part, even when it's hot outside, it's still
- 1:59Speaker 3: with the cool driving around town. It's been a lot
- 2:03Speaker 3: of fun to drive it. But they have much more
- 2:05Speaker 3: than just jeeps. Of course, they have every jeep, the

- 2:47Speaker 3: dot Com. Typically we're not gonna talk a ton of
- 2:52Speaker 3: NBA here, but there was a closeout situation last night
- 2:57Speaker 3: where the Pacer or Start Pistons and the Cavs were
- 3:01Speaker 3: playing a game seven Eastern Conference semifinals and it was
- 3:04Speaker 3: in Detroit.
- 3:06Speaker 4: Crowd was great. I don't know if y'all got a
- 3:08Speaker 4: chance to.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Watch any of this, but Cleveland said, we got this
- 3:11Speaker 3: from the very opening tip and they ran the pistons
- 3:15Speaker 3: off the floor. It ended up one twenty five to
- 3:18Speaker 3: ninety four, and I'm sitting there thinking, how disappointing does
- 3:22Speaker 3: it have to be?
- 3:24Speaker 4: After Detroit, remember.
- 3:25Speaker 3: They were down to Orlando and they made that great
- 3:27Speaker 3: comeback and then it felt like they were, you know,
- 3:31Speaker 3: gonna be one of those teams that had some magic
- 3:33Speaker 3: to them and anything could happen. And the place was packed,
- 3:38Speaker 3: the atmosphere was great, and Donovan Mitchell just said, not today,
- 3:43Speaker 3: not on my watch man. I can't think of a
- 3:46Speaker 3: Game seven situation where the road team in recent memory
- 3:49Speaker 3: went out there and just smothered the home team.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Took it over. I mean, you mentioned Mitchell twenty six
- 3:55Speaker 2: points at a close out game, and you're right about Detroit, Jake,
- 3:59Speaker 2: because remember what about a month month and a half
- 4:02Speaker 2: before the playoffs, Kpe Cunningham goes down. Thenver's like, well
- 4:05Speaker 2: that's the season, it's over. That's our guy. It's like
- 4:08Speaker 2: Haliburton going down for the Pacers, right like everybody else
- 4:10Speaker 2: plays off him, but he recovers. Wasn't as bad as
- 4:14Speaker 2: you thought. Comes back takes someone like come back against
- 4:17Speaker 2: the magic you mentioned they were down three nothing and
- 4:19Speaker 2: you're like, okay, like this is the one seed. You
- 4:21Speaker 2: were playing like the one seed, and then you just collapse.
- 4:24Speaker 2: It was ol Wednesday or Thursday. Game five in Detroit.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Detroit had that Game one. They had a twelve point
- 4:33Speaker 2: lead with about six minutes ago. They choked it away
- 4:35Speaker 2: and lost in overtime, and I mean that was the
- 4:37Speaker 2: turning point in the series. It's just it's one thing
- 4:39Speaker 2: after another for the city of Detroit. Like just when
- 4:42Speaker 2: you think things are going positive, something goes bad and
- 4:45Speaker 2: you lose it all over again. But look the final
- 4:47Speaker 2: four between Knicks Cavs on one side, Thunder Spurs on
- 4:51Speaker 2: the other. If you're about youth movements in the NBA
- 4:55Speaker 2: and you're wanting to see something different, like these are
- 4:58Speaker 2: the matchups you're gonna want to watch.
- 5:00Speaker 4: Elandra, how we feeling about Spurs Thunder?
- 5:03Speaker 5: So obviously the Thunder are the defending champs, undefeated in
- 5:08Speaker 5: the playoffs, But I think Wimby and Wimby in company
- 5:12Speaker 5: can get it done. Like he has a lot of
- 5:14Speaker 5: really good pieces. Like it's not just Wimby, Yeah, Like
- 5:17Speaker 5: it's Stefan Castle, it's Darren Fox, it's Devin Vessel. I
- 5:22Speaker 5: think the Spurs are going to I think it'll go
- 5:26Speaker 5: to seven games.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Oh, I hope it does. Yeah, Like I think both
- 5:31Speaker 3: these series and again the NBA because of our Pelicans situation.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Right there's a little bit of a surtation in your
- 5:40Speaker 3: math because you just want the Pelicans to be so
- 5:41Speaker 3: much better than they are, and you're like you look
- 5:43Speaker 3: at the roster and like why can't they be better?
- 5:45Speaker 3: It's like, well, they don't even have a head coach
- 5:48Speaker 3: right now, right, like what are we doing? It's just
- 5:52Speaker 3: like it's like not a serious franchise. It feels like
- 5:56Speaker 3: every time like you get ready to try to be
- 5:59Speaker 3: excited about it, did they.
- 6:00Speaker 5: Fire a bunch of like internal people.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, they they're trying the old guys. Trust happens
- 6:07Speaker 3: like before.
- 6:08Speaker 5: You have fired the janitor or something.
- 6:10Speaker 4: Basically before you have a blow up, you try to
- 6:13Speaker 4: do this right.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Like we So we had something very similar when I
- 6:17Speaker 3: was in San Diego, norv and A. J.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Smith who was the general manager.
- 6:23Speaker 3: This was more AJ than North, but like they knew
- 6:26Speaker 3: they had to win and they had to win something,
- 6:28Speaker 3: and so they they cleaned house like they tried to
- 6:31Speaker 3: hit complete resets see if they could you know, hit
- 6:34Speaker 3: lightning in a bottle and go win some games. They
- 6:37Speaker 3: didn't work. They won six games. Everybody got fired, But
- 6:40Speaker 3: that's what they tried to do. So like they you know,
- 6:44Speaker 3: I got released Tober didn't get resigned, Sprosy didn't get
- 6:49Speaker 3: resigned before that, and like you could just see the
- 6:51Speaker 3: signs of they're trying to do. They brought in some
- 6:54Speaker 3: guys that didn't fit what we really have been trying
- 6:56Speaker 3: to get done, like different style of players.
- 6:59Speaker 4: It just didn't work out.
- 7:00Speaker 3: You know, VJ go in free agency, so it was
- 7:03Speaker 3: just they tried to get a new team they knew.
- 7:06Speaker 4: It feels like that's what the Pelicans are doing right now.
- 7:09Speaker 3: They're trying to and I don't say blame everybody else,
- 7:11Speaker 3: but they're trying. They're they're trying to not blame themselves.
- 7:16Speaker 3: So they're trying to be like, well, if we just
- 7:18Speaker 3: changed like A, B and C, like I promise you,
- 7:20Speaker 3: it's going to be better, And like that was the
- 7:22Speaker 3: thing that was kind of holding us back.
- 7:23Speaker 4: And that's that's where the Pelicans are right now.
- 7:26Speaker 5: Who's the general manager for the Pelicans or who's like
- 7:32Speaker 5: in charge of the front.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Who's like, who's in charge of the like the actual question,
- 7:37Speaker 3: you know, you know for a while it was our
- 7:38Speaker 3: it was our guy. Yeah, Mickey was trying to run both.
- 7:45Speaker 2: It's such a great job of the Saints. They were like, hey,
- 7:48Speaker 2: if you bring the Pelicans to double the mick?
- 7:51Speaker 4: What I was trying to see because we.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Like and I don't know if Graham's making the decisions again,
- 7:58Speaker 3: like the franchise and the hierarchy of it.
- 8:00Speaker 4: Like I knowd Mars is.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Joe Dumars who he looks from Louisiana play collage basketball
- 8:05Speaker 3: here and then obviously had a hell of a roam
- 8:06Speaker 3: with the Pistons. Like he's making all the decisions, So
- 8:10Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't actually know if the general
- 8:13Speaker 3: manager has a voice?
- 8:14Speaker 4: Is my point?
- 8:15Speaker 3: Yeah, like Bryce and Graham's a GM, but I mean,
- 8:17Speaker 3: Joe Dumars makes all the decisions.
- 8:21Speaker 4: What are you doing, Joe so not hiring your coach?
- 8:24Speaker 5: I should probably get on that.
- 8:25Speaker 2: What the hell?
- 8:29Speaker 4: See, we were trying to talk nice about the NBA.
- 8:32Speaker 2: We're trying to the Pelicans are they're They're awful.
- 8:35Speaker 4: My team and a Launder team is still in it.
- 8:37Speaker 5: Let's go.
- 8:38Speaker 4: But we want the Pelicans to be good.
- 8:40Speaker 5: I might just be being super optimistic, but I think
- 8:44Speaker 5: the Spurs can get it done.
- 8:45Speaker 2: It's a good matchup.
- 8:47Speaker 3: It's gonna be exciting, be very high quality basketball between
- 8:50Speaker 3: all four teams. Yeah, I really believe that, like all
- 8:54Speaker 3: the teams that were there, like they deserve to be there.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you got two teams that are dominant
- 9:00Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But they've set for a week and
- 9:02Speaker 2: we talked about it last week, Jake. Is that a
- 9:05Speaker 2: good thing? Is that a bad thing that they set
- 9:07Speaker 2: for a week and didn't do anything, because then you
- 9:09Speaker 2: got the Spurs and the Calves that are rolling right now.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Like on paper, you might think they're a little bit
- 9:13Speaker 2: of the underdog, but they got the hot hand. Like,
- 9:15Speaker 2: I'm actually excited about this, and I've been I've been
- 9:18Speaker 2: tuned out for a few years now. I mean I
- 9:22Speaker 2: watched the Pacers last year when they called fire behind
- 9:24Speaker 2: Halliburton still wanted them to win it. But I mean
- 9:27Speaker 2: this is one that I think the average fan could
- 9:29Speaker 2: also get behind.
- 9:32Speaker 4: Though Troy Weaver was a president, Matt, oh, well, it tells.
- 9:38Speaker 5: You, yeah, are right now a hot mess.
- 9:45Speaker 4: The no Weaver came over from the Wizards, which hire
- 9:50Speaker 4: a coach.
- 9:52Speaker 5: Right where maybe they care well, but do they even
- 9:55Speaker 5: care over there?
- 9:59Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 10:00Speaker 5: Like, does Gail even care about the pelicanition or she's
- 10:03Speaker 5: just so focused on the Saints.
- 10:05Speaker 4: The thing is, the roster has some really good talent.
- 10:09Speaker 2: You should be better than you are for sure.
- 10:12Speaker 4: That's the thing that's so frustrating is you have talent.
- 10:15Speaker 3: You've got young talent, you've got veteran talent, and you
- 10:20Speaker 3: just can't ever put it together.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying this is a top
- 10:24Speaker 2: ten roster in the NBA, but late in the season
- 10:26Speaker 2: you should be in playoff contention, Like there should be
- 10:30Speaker 2: an outside chance for you to get there year in
- 10:32Speaker 2: and year out, and there's never there, never is ever.
- 10:36Speaker 2: And you're a top five worst team in the NBA
- 10:38Speaker 2: more times than not and your roster doesn't reflect that.
- 10:41Speaker 4: Yeah, just hire a coach. Start that process. Please, please
- 10:55Speaker 4: start that process.
- 11:00Speaker 5: Shout out to the Pelicans.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Yeah, we're shouting them out, all right, you're shouting them
- 11:06Speaker 4: out all right. M uh yeah. Flynn will be back tomorrow.
- 11:14Speaker 3: He is on a fishing trip in Idaho when we
- 11:18Speaker 3: were both supposed to go on.
- 11:20Speaker 4: I've just too many of the things, too many of
- 11:23Speaker 4: the things for.
- 11:24Speaker 3: Me to to do that I'd left my family too
- 11:27Speaker 3: many weekends in a row, and I said, you know what,
- 11:28Speaker 3: I like my family. I'd like to spend time with him.
- 11:31Speaker 3: That'd be great. And so I didn't end up going.
- 11:33Speaker 3: But he is on a fishing trip. He did bring
- 11:35Speaker 3: his son, Huck, so excited to kind of hear some
- 11:38Speaker 3: of the stories they've got from fly fishing trip in Idaho.
- 11:41Speaker 3: It's good spy. So it's with Poncho. So we've had
- 11:45Speaker 3: a great partnership with Poncho. It's been incredible. Uh we
- 11:49Speaker 3: you know, they just send us stuff all the time,
- 11:52Speaker 3: just great, great people. Not one photo and not one
- 11:55Speaker 3: picture and like Taylor said, not one text from our guys.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, hey, guys, got call it like nothing. No,
- 12:04Speaker 2: might mean he's not doing well. Cans in a picture
- 12:08Speaker 2: of a fish and Jacb hadn't called one.
- 12:10Speaker 4: It's fair, all right.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Well, I started this segment wanted to talk good about
- 12:16Speaker 3: the Spurs and Nicks and you know, kind of talking
- 12:19Speaker 3: about how the calves really took it to the pistons
- 12:22Speaker 3: even though they were on the road. It ended with
- 12:25Speaker 3: us talking about the Pelicans, which that always goes well.
- 12:28Speaker 3: So we'll take a break more OTV when we come

- 15:50Speaker 5: Wow?

- 15:56Speaker 2: What's that.
- 15:59Speaker 4: Win the whole? All right, I'm actually gonna be negative
- 16:09Speaker 4: here and started with a loser. It is what it is.
- 16:12Speaker 4: It's a thinking like the format of baseball like we
- 16:16Speaker 4: had to play this weekend? Is that normal? I'm talking
- 16:19Speaker 4: about like nine you I don't know. It's like old Friday,
- 16:22Speaker 4: Saturday and Sunday.
- 16:23Speaker 2: I think he told us seven games in three days,
- 16:26Speaker 2: and there's successive.
- 16:27Speaker 3: And then there's well the championship game last last out
- 16:31Speaker 3: got recorded after ten o'clock last night.
- 16:34Speaker 2: No, you said they're not out of school yet.
- 16:36Speaker 3: No, and the first game is Friday at four for
- 16:38Speaker 3: us and they're still in school.
- 16:41Speaker 5: That's wild.
- 16:43Speaker 4: Work, that's not I had to take off maps, radio job.
- 16:50Speaker 2: No, that's that's not like.
- 16:52Speaker 3: Pitch counts and pitchers that got used and nine years old.
- 16:55Speaker 3: You don't want to overuse them because they're nine. I'm
- 16:59Speaker 3: gonna say, whoever came up with that format? We can
- 17:03Speaker 3: lose it at the ballpark, like just waiting to play games.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Some some teams had to sit out and play games,
- 17:07Speaker 3: sit out two games, play another game. They weren't like
- 17:11Speaker 3: close there from Laplace or they're from Carrollton and having
- 17:14Speaker 3: to sit there and find something to do for a
- 17:16Speaker 3: couple hours.
- 17:17Speaker 4: Never came up with that format the flag height, That
- 17:20Speaker 4: ain't it anyways? Sorry, start out negative. We can lose it.
- 17:26Speaker 5: No, that's insane and feels like way too much for
- 17:30Speaker 5: a young child. Yeah, we can winner. For me, I
- 17:36Speaker 5: think I'm gonna go with Ronda Rousey. Her and Gina
- 17:40Speaker 5: made a comeback seventeen seconds. But the thing is she's
- 17:44Speaker 5: thirty nine years old and she's well Gina is also right,
- 17:49Speaker 5: she's not even a man yet.
- 17:50Speaker 4: Yeah, not even Mike Gundy.
- 17:53Speaker 5: You Yeah, and Gina's forty four, So shout out to
- 17:58Speaker 5: Gina two for doing it. But yeah, got her in
- 18:01Speaker 5: seventeen seconds. But we can loser. I don't know. I
- 18:07Speaker 5: guess I don't know. It wasn't really the UFC, but
- 18:12Speaker 5: the UFC's kind of fallen off to me, so I'm
- 18:15Speaker 5: just gonna leave it at that.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 18:18Speaker 5: Speaking of and Conor McGregor's coming back.
- 18:22Speaker 4: Oh yeah, big fight right Halloway.
- 18:24Speaker 5: Yeah versus Holloway. I think Max is gonna win that one,
- 18:29Speaker 5: but Connor went the trash talk.
- 18:34Speaker 4: It's gonna Max he gonat come out swing. I I
- 18:38Speaker 4: just love watching that Lott guy.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Yeah, the dude's a warrior.
- 18:40Speaker 5: He is.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Just do whatever he has to do just to make
- 18:45Speaker 3: it exciting. That's gonna be a boring fight.
- 18:48Speaker 2: We uh we. We had just gotten in bed Saturday

- 23:38Speaker 5: I was gonna say. They're saying Riley knows how to
- 23:40Speaker 5: put a crib together.
- 23:41Speaker 9: And the wouldn't ask for help either.
- 23:44Speaker 2: The crip got put together under an hour to put.
- 23:47Speaker 4: That on his back and just walked it through the road.
- 23:50Speaker 2: And putting the crib rally, don't cut his own grass,
- 23:52Speaker 2: guarantee you.
- 23:54Speaker 5: I feel like he does.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Okay, I feel like a probably like a set up. Yeah,
- 24:00Speaker 2: I feel like you.
- 24:01Speaker 5: I just hope he he does.
- 24:04Speaker 2: I just oh see this is there's a perfect time
- 24:06Speaker 2: by Joey La. Me and Riley used to look the same,
- 24:09Speaker 2: you know, before you got famous and jacked right there
- 24:12Speaker 2: you go.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Hey, look it's okay, all right, you can have a
- 24:16Speaker 3: fastball too. Now his is ninety eight, years is eighty nine.
- 24:19Speaker 3: But your plays it hits the block.
- 24:20Speaker 2: I appreciate the eighty nine.
- 24:21Speaker 3: J Okay, all right, uh weekend winter. Speaking of country music,
- 24:27Speaker 3: the city of Nashville for me, okay.
- 24:30Speaker 4: It is exploding. We all know that.
- 24:32Speaker 3: You go there there's more cranes there than anywhere else
- 24:34Speaker 3: in the country. The city continues to just explode, expand,
- 24:39Speaker 3: and now it looks like they're about to get a
- 24:42Speaker 3: super Bowl in twenty thirty in.
- 24:44Speaker 4: The new Stadium.
- 24:45Speaker 5: Oh let's go.
- 24:46Speaker 4: Yeah it is. That's going to be a fun one.
- 24:48Speaker 4: That's going to be a fun one.
- 24:49Speaker 3: As much as San Francisco was not my favorite last
- 24:52Speaker 3: year with how spread out everything was, this one's going
- 24:55Speaker 3: to be in the heart of the city. Broadway is
- 24:58Speaker 3: going to be incredible. There's going to be a ton
- 25:01Speaker 3: of events. Nobody likes football and music like country music singers.
- 25:06Speaker 3: They're all going to be there because they live there.
- 25:08Speaker 3: It is going to be star studded. It's going to
- 25:10Speaker 3: be a time. In twenty thirty, they are going to
- 25:13Speaker 3: host the Super Bowl.
- 25:14Speaker 5: I feel like that'll be competitive with New Orleans. Like
- 25:17Speaker 5: New Orleans is I think one of the best the
- 25:19Speaker 5: places to host the Super Bowl because of how close
- 25:23Speaker 5: and walkable it all is. But I think that that
- 25:27Speaker 5: will compete with it wise because Nashville is also like
- 25:30Speaker 5: you said, it's in the heart of Nashville, and that
- 25:33Speaker 5: place is also very, very walkable.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're not They're not going to have events
- 25:37Speaker 3: in Franklin, right, people live in Franklin. It's a great
- 25:40Speaker 3: city to live in, but they're not gonna have Everything's
- 25:42Speaker 3: gonna be to be right there Nashville.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we went to that Titans game in November
- 25:47Speaker 2: because we just we just happened to be up there
- 25:49Speaker 2: and they were playing. That new stadium makes Nissan Stadium
- 25:52Speaker 2: look like practice field. Yeah, it's massive.
- 25:54Speaker 4: Yeah, it's ana be fun. That's a good one, all right,
- 25:58Speaker 4: Elandra anymore.
- 25:59Speaker 5: No, I don't have.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Loser to Anthony Edwards. Not because they lost to the
- 26:05Speaker 2: Spurs by thirty. The Spurs are very good. That can happen.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards got up off the bench with eight oh
- 26:11Speaker 2: one left in the fourth quarter. Look, the Spurs had
- 26:13Speaker 2: pulled their starters off the court. The Timberwolves have pulled
- 26:16Speaker 2: their starters off the court. The game's basically conceded. I
- 26:18Speaker 2: understand that, but there are eight minutes left in the game.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards walked over to the Spurs bench in a
- 26:23Speaker 2: time out to shake Hans and congratulate all the Spurs players.
- 26:27Speaker 2: I don't like that there's eight minutes left in that game.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Crazier things have happened. Look, I get it. It looks
- 26:34Speaker 2: like the games are being conceded. His excuse was, look,
- 26:36Speaker 2: you know, it doesn't look like I'm gonna go back
- 26:38Speaker 2: in the game at that point. I just want to
- 26:40Speaker 2: go over there and give them the respect they deserve.
- 26:42Speaker 2: That's fine, do it after the game. And if you
- 26:44Speaker 2: don't want to watch the other team celebrate, do it
- 26:46Speaker 2: quick after the game, get into the locker room. I'm
- 26:48Speaker 2: good with it. You shoot nine of twenty six, though,
- 26:50Speaker 2: as your team's alpha, and then you go over there
- 26:53Speaker 2: and shake Han's or the opposing team with eight minutes left.
- 26:55Speaker 2: Just leaves a little bit of a bad taste in
- 26:57Speaker 2: my mouth.
- 27:00Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I mean like I don't. Yeah, I
- 27:02Speaker 4: don't love that.
- 27:03Speaker 3: I don't love it at any after the game short,
- 27:05Speaker 3: no point.
- 27:06Speaker 4: In the game though, like that as well.
- 27:09Speaker 3: He was were salty, though they were salty, they were
- 27:11Speaker 3: frisky in the playoffs. But yeah, I'm right there with
- 27:14Speaker 3: you when it's over, and then maybe like behind the scenes,
- 27:16Speaker 3: go do all that even after the final buzzer, like
- 27:19Speaker 3: go pay your respecs for sure, but you never know,
- 27:22Speaker 3: you never know what's gonna happen, all right, we'll take
- 27:24Speaker 3: a break. When we come back, we'll talk a little
- 27:26Speaker 3: LSU baseball. Will Helmer's will join us here in studio.

- 28:57Speaker 1: It's off the van with Hester and Flynn resented by
- 29:00Speaker 1: Buyue Automotive.
- 29:03Speaker 4: Just push me over, all right, Welcome back in Thank
- 29:09Speaker 4: God OTV.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Here live from the Raising Kine studio. Will Helmers joins
- 29:15Speaker 3: us now. Of course, former LSU baseball player Louisiana loaded
- 29:18Speaker 3: now and he is sitting with Kane and his emotional
- 29:21Speaker 3: support dog.
- 29:22Speaker 10: Here he is Sometimes you just need to get through.
- 29:27Speaker 10: Caine's got my back.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Another LSU baseball weekend where things don't go your way,
- 29:34Speaker 3: to say the least. But we've already thrown a lot
- 29:37Speaker 3: of shade at him today for the series they had
- 29:39Speaker 3: this weekend. So with you here, will certainly want to
- 29:42Speaker 3: talk SEC baseball tournament. You've been in a situation where
- 29:46Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four now you didn't have to go
- 29:48Speaker 3: win the whole thing like this team, but you had
- 29:50Speaker 3: to go win three games, and y'all got that done
- 29:52Speaker 3: very exciting tournament. The South Carolina games one we'll remember
- 29:56Speaker 3: for a very very long time. But when you're staring
- 29:59Speaker 3: at what there's airing at right now, and look, Jay
- 30:02Speaker 3: saved some pitching because he knew, like, even if we
- 30:05Speaker 3: swept Florida this weekend, it wasn't gonna be enough. So
- 30:08Speaker 3: you're gonna have what you know is your best available
- 30:12Speaker 3: arms going into the tournament. But you're staring at Oklahoma, Auburn,
- 30:17Speaker 3: A and M and then you know, we have to
- 30:19Speaker 3: see how it plays out likely Texas and situation like that.
- 30:23Speaker 3: When you're steering that in the face, knowing what you
- 30:25Speaker 3: have to do, what's your mentality going into something.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Like that A little daunting?
- 30:29Speaker 10: Yeah, based off of a nine and twenty sec record
- 30:33Speaker 10: near them, you know, I don't.
- 30:38Speaker 4: They're set up to do it. They can do it.
- 30:40Speaker 10: I think a big thing is that the rest of
- 30:43Speaker 10: the SEC grouping and the other fifteen teams are actually
- 30:48Speaker 10: pretty loaded and they're most likely for the most part,
- 30:51Speaker 10: gonna get in the regional without the SEC tournament, So
- 30:54Speaker 10: that's going to help them. So a lot of teams
- 30:56Speaker 10: will go into it kind of like, well, we're not
- 30:58Speaker 10: going to go all in We're not going to use
- 31:00Speaker 10: our guys. We're not gonna throw them, you know, our
- 31:02Speaker 10: regular Friday, Saturday, Sunday starters five plus innings. Right, So
- 31:06Speaker 10: they may have a chance there to to be able
- 31:10Speaker 10: to you know, get into it. But at the same time,
- 31:13Speaker 10: like they've got to perform, yeah, you know, and they
- 31:17Speaker 10: haven't done that for the most part of the you know,
- 31:19Speaker 10: for all the season. They haven't really performed in the
- 31:23Speaker 10: SEC in SEC play. And so look, you score twenty
- 31:27Speaker 10: runs this weekend, that should give you at least two wins,
- 31:31Speaker 10: you know, but there's just so many things that have
- 31:37Speaker 10: gone wrong for them, you know, on the mound, at
- 31:40Speaker 10: the plate, just a multitude of things.
- 31:43Speaker 4: But hey, look.
- 31:45Speaker 10: I've seen the weirder things before, you know, like they
- 31:49Speaker 10: could do it. Yeah, and there's they it's not like
- 31:53Speaker 10: the talent's going anywhere.
- 31:54Speaker 4: You know, it's they.
- 31:56Speaker 10: They still got it, They still got the arms, they
- 31:57Speaker 10: still got bats, they can still score runs. You know,
- 32:00Speaker 10: there's still a baseball team. And look, I promise you
- 32:02Speaker 10: Jay is pushing them to go win this tournament. You
- 32:04Speaker 10: know that Jay has not folded in the towel or
- 32:07Speaker 10: thrown it in.
- 32:09Speaker 4: Neither of these players like they want to win.
- 32:12Speaker 3: You know, there's there's nothing about them that they don't
- 32:14Speaker 3: want to go out there and win.
- 32:15Speaker 10: They want to compete. They're going to compete, and Jay
- 32:17Speaker 10: is going to make them compete to the best of
- 32:18Speaker 10: the of their ability, you know. And and if that
- 32:22Speaker 10: ends up in an SEC tournament, win great, go sneak
- 32:24Speaker 10: in somewhere as a three three seed in the regional
- 32:26Speaker 10: or four seed, honestly, but they got a lot of
- 32:32Speaker 10: work to do.
- 32:33Speaker 4: You know. Oklahoma's a tough team.
- 32:35Speaker 10: And then to go straight to Auburn with the bats
- 32:37Speaker 10: that they have and some really great arms, it's tough task.
- 32:43Speaker 10: Tough task, but you know, I've seen weirder things in baseball,
- 32:47Speaker 10: and if they do it, be scared on the other
- 32:51Speaker 10: side in a regional because then they'll just you know,
- 32:54Speaker 10: baseball's funky.
- 32:55Speaker 4: They get hot, it's just just weird.
- 32:57Speaker 10: You might get some arms that come back, but it's
- 33:00Speaker 10: a long way to go before we get there.
- 33:02Speaker 4: Yeah, it is. It is.
- 33:04Speaker 3: Uh you know, gosh, if we're trying to pump some
- 33:06Speaker 3: real sunshine into this deal, not a whole lot of sunshine,
- 33:10Speaker 3: I know, but what you said is true. And we
- 33:12Speaker 3: talked about a little bit earlier, Like there's gonna be
- 33:15Speaker 3: most of the field here is going to be pitching
- 33:19Speaker 3: guys that normally wouldn't pitch in.
- 33:21Speaker 4: High leverage situations.
- 33:23Speaker 3: Uh, you've been really good with the bats, Like it
- 33:25Speaker 3: hasn't been scoring runs. That has not been the issue
- 33:28Speaker 3: outside of Friday's game for you, Like that's kind of
- 33:30Speaker 3: the outlier. Every other game you've been losing by football scores, right,
- 33:34Speaker 3: So if they throw off, okay, well here's your chance
- 33:36Speaker 3: to score runs because you're throwing on like everything you got.
- 33:40Speaker 4: You everything you're using.
- 33:42Speaker 3: And so like a team like let's say you do
- 33:44Speaker 3: get past Oklahoma, Well, a team like Auburn, like you said,
- 33:47Speaker 3: like they cannot really their Friday night.
- 33:49Speaker 4: They can hit it, right, but it's gonna look different
- 33:51Speaker 4: on the mount. They can swing it.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like the bats aren't going anywhere, no
- 33:55Speaker 3: suns in two innings, you know, whatever it is, the
- 34:00Speaker 3: bats aren't going anywhere from Auburn. So you got to
- 34:03Speaker 3: get over the plate to have almost three hundred walks
- 34:09Speaker 3: that the hate saying that now, like last year I
- 34:11Speaker 3: think they had like two fifty at the end of Omaha,
- 34:15Speaker 3: which is are a lot more games you know, you're
- 34:18Speaker 3: playing fourteen more games almost and you almost twenty, you know,
- 34:25Speaker 3: and so to have almost three hundred walks at this
- 34:27Speaker 3: point just through the regular season is disgusting, you know.
- 34:31Speaker 3: And they have to get the ball over the plate,
- 34:34Speaker 3: you know, and play air free baseball like that's That's
- 34:36Speaker 3: two of Jay's things he and I know he's throwing
- 34:41Speaker 3: up every night when he's drinking orange juice, staring at
- 34:43Speaker 3: the moon, like he's just throwing up about it. And
- 34:47Speaker 3: that's the thing too, is like you haven't thrown strikes,
- 34:51Speaker 3: and when you do, then your defense hasn't played behind you.
- 34:55Speaker 4: And you would know this because you've played both of us.
- 34:56Speaker 3: You played a position when you first got here, you've
- 34:58Speaker 3: pitched so as a pitcher like, okay, well, when I
- 35:02Speaker 3: throw strikes and they hit it, I'm not getting picked
- 35:05Speaker 3: up behind me. So what am I going to do.
- 35:07Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to be perfect. I'm gonna try to
- 35:09Speaker 3: live on the black. I'm gonna try to strike guys out.
- 35:10Speaker 3: Then you start walking guys because you don't have the confidence.
- 35:14Speaker 3: If you put it in play, it's gonna be a
- 35:16Speaker 3: play's gonna be made. It just doesn't work, you know.
- 35:19Speaker 4: On the mound.
- 35:19Speaker 10: From that standpoint, like gotta make plays, but you gotta
- 35:23Speaker 10: I mean, you gotta be able to throw strikes, you know,
- 35:25Speaker 10: all these It's not like they can't throw strikes, and
- 35:27Speaker 10: they can throw strikes. It's I don't know what it's
- 35:30Speaker 10: a mental thing or if it's a preparation thing for them.
- 35:36Speaker 4: I don't know, but I think you'll see.
- 35:39Speaker 3: And I know if he's alluded to it multiple times
- 35:42Speaker 3: in the last few weeks when they've been getting you know,
- 35:46Speaker 3: shelled in the back half of his you know, postgame
- 35:49Speaker 3: press conferences, is this will never happen again.
- 35:52Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, And.
- 35:53Speaker 10: He's continuing to say that knowing that he's gonna probably
- 35:57Speaker 10: try and do something different. On the recruiting and transfer
- 36:00Speaker 10: portal standpoint, I think you'll probably see a lot you know,
- 36:05Speaker 10: younger guys probably and really build into the program, because
- 36:09Speaker 10: it's not like you don't have the money to pay
- 36:11Speaker 10: these guys. You know, have you know, a ton of nil,
- 36:16Speaker 10: you know working for you so to be to be
- 36:18Speaker 10: able to bring in freshmen and sophomores and build them
- 36:21Speaker 10: through the program, and you can continue to pay them,
- 36:23Speaker 10: that's fine. But if you can build them into the
- 36:26Speaker 10: program kind of like it used to be without guys
- 36:28Speaker 10: getting paid and people had a pride for LSU and
- 36:31Speaker 10: a little bit of loyalty and it meant something to
- 36:33Speaker 10: wear purple and gold. Then you can really kind of
- 36:37Speaker 10: build and recenter your program around that.
- 36:39Speaker 4: I think you may see that.
- 36:40Speaker 10: And you'll still have the occasional you know, Tommy White
- 36:44Speaker 10: come in, who's you're going to take a chance on
- 36:46Speaker 10: him because he because you can't. And so maybe he
- 36:49Speaker 10: comes and hits forty bombs in a season and then
- 36:51Speaker 10: it's it's great. But I think you'll probably see a
- 36:54Speaker 10: lot more younger guys build into the program now.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, the as we were we talking
- 37:00Speaker 3: about this earlier too, like the draft beat you up
- 37:02Speaker 3: a little bit this year, which a place like LSU
- 37:05Speaker 3: some years that happens a couple of years, two years ago,
- 37:07Speaker 3: like you did really well in it, and so you
- 37:09Speaker 3: do have that opportunity now with nil in the draft,
- 37:12Speaker 3: you can promise them, hey, you come here, you have
- 37:14Speaker 3: a great career. You start out basically, I mean you'll
- 37:17Speaker 3: go to A for a little bit, but you're pretty
- 37:18Speaker 3: much step into double A pretty quickly, and you don't
- 37:21Speaker 3: have to take the bus rides and low A and
- 37:23Speaker 3: high A and all that stuff, and so you have
- 37:25Speaker 3: something to sell. And look, it's gonna have to be uh,
- 37:29Speaker 3: you know, a lot of different players, a lot of
- 37:31Speaker 3: different positions, but I think it's gonna have to be
- 37:33Speaker 3: more than anything. It's gonna be frontline Friday Saturday stuff.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Like William Schmid's gonna come back in his development. He
- 37:39Speaker 3: has taken a big step this year. But like this year,
- 37:44Speaker 3: you just like because Cason was like a stopper last year, right,
- 37:47Speaker 3: and then he tries to make the transition to a
- 37:50Speaker 3: Friday starter, he goes through some injuries. Your Saturday starter
- 37:53Speaker 3: gets hurt pretty early, and so like that just continued
- 37:56Speaker 3: to roll downhill where you go back to the championship
- 37:59Speaker 3: seas and last year you had the best one two
- 38:03Speaker 3: punch that you could ask for, like one of the
- 38:05Speaker 3: best ones in school history, maybe the best, yeah, right,
- 38:08Speaker 3: And so like that's what.
- 38:09Speaker 4: It looks like at LSU. That's what you got to
- 38:11Speaker 4: try to get back.
- 38:12Speaker 3: And even if you don't get to that point, because
- 38:14Speaker 3: I mean, Antony k Anderson our uniforms, yeah, and the
- 38:16Speaker 3: two years you've won it twenty three and twenty five,
- 38:19Speaker 3: the past in the most recent you know years, is
- 38:21Speaker 3: you have two starters. Yeah, that are just major league pitchers,
- 38:26Speaker 3: Skins and Floyd. Before that's Floyd and Cayden Eines. Yeah,
- 38:30Speaker 3: you know, like that's the recipe. Jay's teams can score runs.
- 38:34Speaker 4: Yea. He knows how to manufacture run We were talking
- 38:37Speaker 4: about it earlier.
- 38:38Speaker 3: Will the other day Saturday when they lost one through
- 38:42Speaker 3: four had ten hits and ten RBIs for.
- 38:45Speaker 4: You and you lost.
- 38:46Speaker 3: Yeah, your one through four hitters had ten RB eyes
- 38:49Speaker 3: and you lost and ten hits.
- 38:52Speaker 4: Yeah, So yeah, they can score. Yeah, they can score runs.
- 38:56Speaker 4: They Jay's teams can score runs. It's his thing.
- 38:59Speaker 3: He's going to average eight runs, yeah, you know in
- 39:01Speaker 3: a season. That's that's been his thing.
- 39:03Speaker 10: He can manufacture runs with with long ball hitters and
- 39:07Speaker 10: guys that can bunt, Like, he can just manufacture runs
- 39:09Speaker 10: for whatever reason.
- 39:10Speaker 4: He's good at it.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 39:11Speaker 10: But if he doesn't, you know, if there's not those
- 39:13Speaker 10: two starters that can get you wins on that Friday
- 39:16Speaker 10: and Saturday, it's a it's a long road, a long, long,
- 39:21Speaker 10: lonely road.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:21Speaker 10: And even like look in twenty four we had Home
- 39:23Speaker 10: and Jump, two guys that were great.
- 39:25Speaker 4: Yeah, and Andrew brought that point up earlier.
- 39:27Speaker 10: Yeah, but you know, you look at the difference between
- 39:31Speaker 10: Jump and a guy like Kate Anderson. It's a mile
- 39:35Speaker 10: of a difference, you know, those two starters. That makes
- 39:39Speaker 10: your season. Yeah, that makes your season. It's gotta be
- 39:42Speaker 10: uh and it is knowing Jay like we do. It's
- 39:44Speaker 10: top priority going to the aufseason. All right, before we
- 39:47Speaker 10: let you go. What you got going on at Louisiana loaded?
