  Welcome into to Monday's two-minute
• 0:02
  timeout sponsored by Bunkers of Auburn.
• 0:05
  Go check them out if you're in town for
• 0:06
  basketball, softball, baseball, whatever
• 0:08
  it is. Go check them out. Bunkers of
• 0:10
  Auburn Downtown. Awesome atmosphere. And
• 0:12
  um speaking of baseball, the the the
• 0:14
  Tigers uh off and running uh three
• 0:16
  weekends into um the season. Um Auburn
• 0:21
  is still top 10 program. And look, this
• 0:23
  is a team that has a lot more uh left in
• 0:26
  the tank, I believe. Um, listen, they're
• 0:29
  off to a good start on a couple of
• 0:30
  losses so far with some some really
• 0:32
  impressive wins. But, uh, you've done
• 0:35
  this, you know, without having Griffin
• 0:36
  Graves available on the mound. A guy
• 0:38
  that you thought was going to be a
• 0:39
  weekend starter still could be, but man,
• 0:41
  it's going to be tough to get into this
• 0:42
  group right now the way that, um, you
• 0:45
  know, they're pitching. Um Jake
• 0:46
  Marciano, Jackson Sanders, Alex
• 0:48
  Petravic, all pitching extremely well
• 0:51
  for the Tigers. And so, they've kind of
• 0:52
  set the bar um for this pitching
• 0:55
  rotation. We'll see if Griffin Graves is
• 0:57
  back. Butch Thompson said potentially
• 0:59
  for Missouri next weekend. Offensively,
• 1:02
  Chris Rebert getting back in is is a big
• 1:05
  deal and kind of shaking off the rust
• 1:06
  over the weekend against Nebraska. But
• 1:08
  look, this team is is starting to kind
• 1:10
  of find his groove a little bit
• 1:11
  offensively and you're doing it without
• 1:13
  Luca Steel really contributing a ton.
• 1:16
  Kaloo, Todd Clay, Logan Gregorio, four
• 1:18
  guys you thought were going to be middle
• 1:19
  of the order type guys haven't produced
• 1:22
  yet. I think it's coming. I think it's
• 1:24
  going to happen for them. But in the
• 1:26
  meantime, you look at Brandon McCraine
• 1:27
  and Mason McCraine, Logan Gregorio,
• 1:29
  these guys that have all swung the bat
• 1:32
  well and taken advantage of these
• 1:33
  opportunities. Bristol Carter at the top
• 1:35
  of the lineup. So, um, that's what this
• 1:37
  team has. They've got depth and so
• 1:39
  that's showing off early in the season,
• 1:40
  but there's some guys that are going to
• 1:42
  swing the bat, I think, for this team.
• 1:43
  Just haven't quite seen it yet. So, when
• 1:45
  that happens, this is a lineup that has
• 1:47
  the potential to be really potent. So,
• 1:49
  lots of excitement ahead for Auburn
• 1:50
  baseball. Check them out at Plains and
