Speaker 1: All right, welcome to Tuesday. This portion of the program
0:44
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Central Texas Sports Medicine. We
0:48
Speaker 1: have a jam packed Tuesday edition today, so you're here
0:55
Speaker 1: on a good day. This may turn out to be
0:57
Speaker 1: the best show of the week. You know, we strive
1:01
Speaker 1: to have one a week that's decent, listenable. By golly,
1:07
Speaker 1: this might be it. So much so we've had to
1:10
Speaker 1: bump a couple of things We're gonna have postgame react
1:16
Speaker 1: from Aggie Baseball. We've got a high school report. We
1:21
Speaker 1: have got a Scott Tribally siding. He is going to
1:25
Speaker 1: be with us later in this hour to talk tennis.
1:29
Speaker 1: He has our professional tennis correspondent. We're going to talk
1:33
Speaker 1: about the French Open. Some of you didn't know what
1:35
Speaker 1: was going on right now. This is why Scott Tribally
1:39
Speaker 1: is with us to pronounce all of the semi finalists
1:42
Speaker 1: that are left in the men's and women's bracket. He
1:46
Speaker 1: will join us. We have a interview with Jackie Cheryl
1:52
Speaker 1: that our new intern Riley has done, and we have
1:57
Speaker 1: a Mallory So all that ahead in the show. I
2:03
Speaker 1: think yesterday I told you that Fox Sports football analyst
2:09
Speaker 1: Joel Klatt was going to be on. We have bumped
2:13
Speaker 1: him to tomorrow. He had a podcast recently that is
2:18
Speaker 1: going to stir up some things. That's what he does. Actually,
2:22
Speaker 1: I like him. We'll talk more about that tomorrow. Scott
2:28
Speaker 1: Clandennon will be tomorrow. We have got a outdoor edition
2:34
Speaker 1: on Thursday to Clark Eisenhower. Outdoor Edition, our final high
2:38
Speaker 1: school report of the spring from Caleb and a couple
2:45
Speaker 1: of other things that we're going to talk about. Let's
2:50
Speaker 1: see also Friday, Ryan is in and Kirk Bulls, which
2:57
Speaker 1: I think will be our final Kirk Bulls of the
3:00
Speaker 1: spring slash summer. Kirk will still be working because the
3:06
Speaker 1: Longhorns are in a super regional this coming weekend, but
3:13
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he has to be working for us.
3:15
Speaker 1: We'll give him some time off. The story today is
3:19
Speaker 1: not a huge surprise. Pitching coach Jason Kelly is out.
3:26
Speaker 1: He's been there the last two years. This comes the
3:30
Speaker 1: night after the Aggie's lost to in a row at home,
3:35
Speaker 1: gave up twenty one runs to USC and kept Clayton
3:43
Speaker 1: fresh Corn in the game too long. I think we'll
3:46
Speaker 1: talk about this some more. I thought it was at
3:50
Speaker 1: least two batters too long. I understand that it's always
3:54
Speaker 1: easier after the fact to make these decisions. It was
3:58
Speaker 1: pretty obvious that he would is done and that did
4:03
Speaker 1: not work well. Kelly is I don't want to say
4:08
Speaker 1: this scapegoat. His numbers here aren't great. Last year four
4:16
Speaker 1: point three t team e er, the two forty eight
4:20
Speaker 1: batting average and sixty one homers against. This year five
4:25
Speaker 1: point two four er with a two seventy three team
4:31
Speaker 1: batting average ninety homers. Again, some of that is certainly
4:38
Speaker 1: not his fault. Injuries, of course, to their who the
4:44
Speaker 1: pitcher who turned out to be their best pitcher of
4:46
Speaker 1: the year, Aige Sims late in the season. That was
4:49
Speaker 1: a big blow, a big blow for this weekend for sure.
4:56
Speaker 1: Caleb Longlay, the recruiting coordinator, had resigned last January, had
5:02
Speaker 1: not been replaced, so we'll see how and Kelly's contract,
5:06
Speaker 1: by the way, ended, so we will see Michael Early's
5:13
Speaker 1: next move. Now for the Aggies, it was seven to
5:18
Speaker 1: one last night. Of course, it was two to one
5:22
Speaker 1: in the seventh inning when Augie Lopez hit a three
5:26
Speaker 1: run Jimmy Jack. We're going to hear from him and
5:30
Speaker 1: the rest of the Trojans coming up here in just
5:33
Speaker 1: a little bit. Clayton fresh Corn was really good, four
5:38
Speaker 1: scoreless innings, gave up two in the fifth through six
5:45
Speaker 1: and two thirds, which again was about two thirds of
5:48
Speaker 1: an inning too many should have been out after six.
5:52
Speaker 1: He was Clayton fresh Corn, who was the best pitcher
5:57
Speaker 1: this year for A and M. And we talked about
5:59
Speaker 1: the fact that he'd come out of the bullpen all
6:01
Speaker 1: year twenty six appearances, but that basically Early had no
6:08
Speaker 1: choice but to start him. It worked out terrifically. He
6:11
Speaker 1: gave his team every chance to win. Last night. It
6:15
Speaker 1: was a two to one game through six innings. A
6:21
Speaker 1: two to one game. Some of the blame has to
6:26
Speaker 1: go on the hitters, not just the pitchers, and the
6:32
Speaker 1: decision that was made Grant Govell was terrific. He had
6:39
Speaker 1: pitched Friday. He threw sixty four more pitches and four innings,
6:45
Speaker 1: allowed just three hits and one earned run. Chase Harrold
6:49
Speaker 1: comes in, he does not allow anything and like I said,
6:57
Speaker 1: one run that's going to get you beat most days
7:01
Speaker 1: in college baseball. So it's not certainly wasn't all on
7:07
Speaker 1: the pitching staff. ADM season's over forty one and sixteen
7:12
Speaker 1: finished third in the league. They were picked thirteenth and
7:17
Speaker 1: they're going to rebuild. They are losing a lot. Gavin
7:25
Speaker 1: Grohofec and Caden Serell two hundred and seventy two games
7:32
Speaker 1: as Aggie's they combined, and this is from Ryan Broneger
7:36
Speaker 1: at techsacs for three hundred and twenty seven hits, three
7:39
Speaker 1: hundred runs, sixty six doubles, ten triples, ninety three home
7:44
Speaker 1: runs at two hundred and ninety seven RBI in their careers.
7:50
Speaker 1: Terrific careers, hard to replace. I will maintain still that
7:56
Speaker 1: I think the top three in the A and M lineup,
8:00
Speaker 1: we're probably the best top three in America. I don't
8:05
Speaker 1: think you get better than Grohovac, Cerell and a Coopian.
8:09
Speaker 1: But between them last night they were one for eleven
8:15
Speaker 1: with one walk and no runs batt in and that
8:21
Speaker 1: cannot happen from the top of the lineup. That's driven
8:25
Speaker 1: your team all year long. Like I said, I don't
8:29
Speaker 1: think it was all pitching. And again fresh Corn gave
8:33
Speaker 1: his team every opportunity to win. Certainly a mistake leaving
8:40
Speaker 1: him in into the sixth inning. All right, let's move on.
8:47
Speaker 1: Times set. Teams set for the Super Regionals beginning Friday,
8:53
Speaker 1: West Virginia hosting cal Poly. North Carolina will host USC
8:59
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon on ESPN two, Troy will host Little Rock,
9:07
Speaker 1: and in the evening on ESPN two, Auburn will host
9:12
Speaker 1: Ole Miss an All SEC event. Let me see two,
9:18
Speaker 1: there's another All SEC event, and that's Georgia hosting Mississippi State.
9:25
Speaker 1: That's four, Oklahoma's five. Texas is six Alabama is seven.
9:30
Speaker 1: That's how many teams made the final sixteen to seven
9:35
Speaker 1: SEC teams. Saturday, Georgia host Mississippi State, Little Rock host Troy,
9:47
Speaker 1: Kansas host Oklahoma, Texas host Oregon Saturday evening, and Alabama
9:57
Speaker 1: hosts Saint John's also Saturday evening. So that is how
10:03
Speaker 1: the regionals line up. Rangers Cardinals tonight at Bush Stadium.
10:10
Speaker 1: Last night, the Rangers killed the Cardinals two to one.
10:14
Speaker 1: Jacob de gram five scoreless innings would have been at
10:18
Speaker 1: least six, but his defense couldn't catch the ball. Fortunately,
10:21
Speaker 1: they were playing the Cardinals and the Rangers now won
10:25
Speaker 1: four to row. Big game, Nate A. Valdi from Alvin,
10:28
Speaker 1: Texas on the mound tonight for the Rangers, the Astros
10:34
Speaker 1: beginning a series with the Pirates. Burrows on the mound
10:38
Speaker 1: for the Houstons. You can hear that broadcast beginning at
10:42
Speaker 1: six forty here on the Zone. The Stanley Cup Finals tonight. Finally,
10:51
Speaker 1: the Hurricanes of Carolina hosting the Vegas Golden Nights. That
10:58
Speaker 1: is tonight at seven o'clock on ABC, the best of seven.
11:06
Speaker 1: Zach Warnsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets has won the
11:10
Speaker 1: Norris Trophy given every year to the NHL's best defenseman.
11:15
Speaker 1: He beat finalist Cale mccarr of the Avalanche Rasmus Stalin
11:19
Speaker 1: of the Dolling of the Sabers. Mccarr won last year.
11:25
Speaker 1: He's won twice before. Warnsky had twenty two goals, fifty
11:30
Speaker 1: nine assists, eighty one points, the second highest time played
11:38
Speaker 1: in the NHL over twenty six and a half minutes
11:42
Speaker 1: per game, second in points by defenseman, third in goals.
11:48
Speaker 1: He was pretty good and he is your Norris Trophy
11:51
Speaker 1: winner this year in the NHL. Okay, that'll catch up
11:57
Speaker 1: a little bit about what is happening around the world.
12:02
Speaker 1: Oh sports. The Memorial Tournament starts in Doublin, Ohio tomorrow.
12:07
Speaker 1: Other Jack Nicholas Tournament in golf. Thought i'd just throw
12:10
Speaker 1: that in for free. No, it doesn't. It starts on Thursday.
12:13
Speaker 1: Today's Tuesday. I'm already ahead a day, darn it. I've
12:19
Speaker 1: got more days to work. But like I said, this
12:21
Speaker 1: may be the best show of the week, so you
12:24
Speaker 1: need to stay tuned. We're going to hear from the
12:27
Speaker 1: Trojans and all hats off to them to come into
12:33
Speaker 1: Olsenfield and then that environment and quiet the crowd two
12:36
Speaker 1: nights in a row. It scored twenty one runs. And yeah,
12:41
Speaker 1: they scored a lot of runs. And A and M's
12:43
Speaker 1: staff has given up its share, but man, that pitching
12:46
Speaker 1: staff held A and M down. Very impressive what they
12:51
Speaker 1: did in two games. This portion of the program is
12:54
Speaker 1: brought to you by and Co Insurance.

Speaker 4: Having Kanty and Michelle are unsportsman life.
13:30
Speaker 5: If they just did that beating the reigning defending champs
13:33
Speaker 5: in the reigning MVP two times over, they can absolutely
13:37
Speaker 5: win the NBA Finals.
13:38
Speaker 6: They've got a.
13:39
Speaker 5: Tough test in the New York Knicks. But we've been
13:41
Speaker 5: asking a question all season long about can the San
13:44
Speaker 5: Antonio Spurs skip steps for Victor Webbin Yama as their
13:48
Speaker 5: best player, and the answer is emphatic yes.
13:52
Speaker 4: Unsportsman life.
13:53

14:14
Speaker 8: got masel got you with me tonight. Maybe it's time
14:20
Speaker 8: we got back to the basics of love. Let's go
14:27
Speaker 8: to Looking.
14:28
Speaker 1: Coats, Welcome back, glad to have you with us. On
14:31
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, coming up a high school report, Scott Tribely
14:35
Speaker 1: with a French open report, Jackie Cheryl and we're going
14:41
Speaker 1: to hear from Aggie Baseball last night postgame as well.
14:46
Speaker 1: But the first thing we're going to do is listen
14:50
Speaker 1: to the USC team Andy Stankwitz, also Augie Lopez who
15:01
Speaker 1: had the three run bomb in the seventh that was
15:06
Speaker 1: the dagger. And Grant Gravell, who threw a lot of pitches,
15:14
Speaker 1: I think eighty nine pitches in the heat on Friday.
15:19
Speaker 1: He comes back and throw sixty four more and four
15:22
Speaker 1: innings three runs. Excuse me three hits, only one ter
15:28
Speaker 1: run he walked to the only two batters walked. I'll
15:32
Speaker 1: tell you what this pitching staff did. They didn't walk anybody.
15:36
Speaker 1: They made you put the ball in play. They threw strikes,
15:40
Speaker 1: and I got it. They were just a better team.
15:43
Speaker 1: They would flap better at least for two games, actually
15:47
Speaker 1: for four, but for two games they were better with
15:51
Speaker 1: no questions asked. So Stankowitz Lopez at Grant Our Bowl
16:01
Speaker 1: of USC.
16:04
Speaker 6: Well, Uh, crazy weekend. I think what our boys accomplished
16:10
Speaker 6: is pretty significant. When you lose game one and you
16:15
Speaker 6: come back and win for against obviously fantastic opponents that
16:21
Speaker 6: have been doing well for a long time, and come into.
16:25
Speaker 9: College Station and.
16:28
Speaker 6: Play the time of baseball that we played, something that
16:31
Speaker 6: as a coach, you you train them right and encourage them,
16:36
Speaker 6: and you believe in them, and you just let them
16:38
Speaker 6: go and and man, I just they just can't tell
16:42
Speaker 6: you how proud I am of everybody on our team.
16:47
Speaker 9: They just kept working, kept kept.
16:50
Speaker 6: Getting after it and believing in each other. It doesn't
16:54
Speaker 6: always work out that way, we know that, but we
16:58
Speaker 6: sure are excited and grateful that it worked out the
17:02
Speaker 6: way it did.
17:03
Speaker 9: Bro left Ogy could you hear the crowd changing your name.
17:10
Speaker 10: It's a small US group, but they're pretty loud.
17:12
Speaker 9: After your home run.
17:14
Speaker 11: H yeah, I could hear.
17:17
Speaker 12: I think the rest of the ballpark went pretty silent,
17:19
Speaker 12: but I knew my family was up there, and I
17:21
Speaker 12: can always hear them no matter where we're playing, so
17:23
Speaker 12: it's always great to hear the crowd having our back.
17:27
Speaker 12: So yeah, that was great.
17:30
Speaker 9: Second row.
17:32
Speaker 13: Great, you pitched over one hundred and fifty pitches over
17:34
Speaker 13: the weekend. Just kind of talk about resilience with the
17:37
Speaker 13: arms for yourself but also just for these Union as
17:39
Speaker 13: a whole, kind of finding way to battle through the lost.
17:43
Speaker 6: Yeah.
17:43
Speaker 14: Obviously our first game loss isn't the best case scenario
17:46
Speaker 14: for any team, but you know, going back to one
17:49
Speaker 14: hundred and fifty pitches, it didn't feel like that felt
17:51
Speaker 14: like I told Sean yesterday, our pitching coach, that I
17:53
Speaker 14: wanted to pitch yesterday but he wouldn't let me. So
17:56
Speaker 14: starting tonight, I had a lot of confidence in myself.
17:58
Speaker 14: Felt good and you know, one foot on the gas,
18:01
Speaker 14: so felt good.
18:03
Speaker 1: Left Alex coach, just what was the biggest things you
18:06
Speaker 1: just saw from your pitchers collectively?
18:07
Speaker 15: The last two days we are just say able to
18:09
Speaker 15: hold down Adam's offense the way.
18:11
Speaker 9: Up did well. As you know, it's not it's not
18:13
Speaker 9: easy to do. It takes special young men with with
18:15
Speaker 9: belief and with confidence. And Sean Allen he's did an.
18:19
Speaker 6: Incredible job helping these young men develop their pitching marshal
18:24
Speaker 6: what they could do. And what Grant Cavell did today, guys,
18:27
Speaker 6: I think you guys know that to want the ball
18:30
Speaker 6: and accept it and the challenge and step up and do.
18:32
Speaker 9: What he did against it.
18:35
Speaker 6: As we all know, it was a really really offensive
18:37
Speaker 6: ball club.
18:39
Speaker 9: It's not easy to do.
18:40
Speaker 6: But the young man's gotten, he's fearless and he wanted
18:45
Speaker 6: the baseball in his hand, and we do. Yesterday when
18:47
Speaker 6: you asked me who we were going to start, I
18:49
Speaker 6: knew we were gonna start right. I knew he wanted
18:51
Speaker 6: the baseball. Didn't tell you just then, but there was
18:54
Speaker 6: no doubt in our mind that Grant was the right
18:56
Speaker 6: guy take the ball the night and do what he
18:59
Speaker 6: did was to you know, in these moments, weekends like this,
19:03
Speaker 6: you need you need guys to step up and do
19:05
Speaker 6: things that that put against the odds. And so what
19:08
Speaker 6: he did today and incredible. And then Chase Harrold what
19:11
Speaker 6: he did coming in behind him. You know, Chase has
19:14
Speaker 6: been kind of up and down, but we knew, we
19:17
Speaker 6: know Chase, we need you, we need you tonight, and
19:20
Speaker 6: he came in and fished incredibly well also, and then
19:23
Speaker 6: Sacks and obviously going to Adam at the end.
19:26
Speaker 9: So yeah, you know, it takes those moments, takes the
19:30
Speaker 9: job that.
19:30
Speaker 6: You did yesterday just to do it, and you got
19:34
Speaker 6: you got a bunch of young men that have trained
19:35
Speaker 6: hard and believe in themselves and they enjoyed being together,
19:38
Speaker 6: being a team, and and so for me as a coach,
19:42
Speaker 6: it's just it's just exciting to see the development.
19:46
Speaker 9: Grant.
19:46
Speaker 14: Now, you guys committed to a school that didn't have
19:49
Speaker 14: a home Bold park last year.
19:50
Speaker 9: Along the road every single game.
19:52
Speaker 16: Can you just talk a little bit about that toughness
19:54
Speaker 16: and how they kind of translated.
19:55
Speaker 12: To uh, yeah, you know, obviously being able to play
20:01
Speaker 12: at home this year has been a blessing, but the
20:04
Speaker 12: last couple of years, we just kind of showed up
20:08
Speaker 12: every day, you know, whether that was an Irvine or
20:12
Speaker 12: East LA Community College for practice, just with the same
20:15
Speaker 12: mentality if we're going to show up and put our
20:17
Speaker 12: work in and and dominate no matter where we are. So,
20:22
Speaker 12: you know, just showing up every day and punching that
20:25
Speaker 12: that time card and going to work and just putting
20:27
Speaker 12: your head down and knowing that no matter where you are,
20:30
Speaker 12: what home field you have, you don't have a home
20:32
Speaker 12: field that we're gonna get. We're gonna get it done
20:35
Speaker 12: and play quality baseball.
20:36
Speaker 9: Second we left.
20:39
Speaker 17: Coach, this is the first time USC's going to the
20:42
Speaker 17: Super Reels in two thousand and five.
20:43
Speaker 13: Just talk about how important this step is for the
20:46
Speaker 13: program that's continues.
20:47
Speaker 6: To build up with what's been t Yeah, it's a
20:51
Speaker 6: last year we got to regional final obviously that was
20:56
Speaker 6: a big step as well, and I think this year
20:58
Speaker 6: getting to a super is so it's special. You know,
21:02
Speaker 6: this is a special place, man us See, I'm just
21:04
Speaker 6: telling you, man, it's it's it's it's different.
21:07
Speaker 9: People are different, right.
21:09
Speaker 6: We've got quality young man, We've got great parents, We've
21:11
Speaker 6: got quality administration that that are supporting all of our.
21:15
Speaker 9: Athletes, every single team.
21:16
Speaker 6: And like I said, it's a there's nowhere or where
21:21
Speaker 6: I'd rather be and be a part of this program.
21:23
Speaker 9: And so to be able to do We're excited for

22:31
Speaker 10: region super regional again?
22:33
Speaker 9: If you both could answer.
22:34
Speaker 14: I was born in two thousand and four, so the
22:36
Speaker 14: USC didn't make a regional while I was there. But however,
22:40
Speaker 14: it's a lot of consistency. We went thirty two and
22:43
Speaker 14: one at home. I believe in having a home field
22:45
Speaker 14: advantage like that. Every game is something that can't make
22:48
Speaker 14: up to the story itself, So just going.
22:51
Speaker 9: Back to it.
22:51
Speaker 14: Thank God, every day we're living and we're here, and

23:00
Speaker 12: the history of this program has It's been an honor
23:04
Speaker 12: to wear the Trojan brand on the front of my chest.
23:06
Speaker 12: And honestly, just knowing that this team is the team
23:12
Speaker 12: to bring USC back to super Regional is incredible. Honestly
23:16
Speaker 12: hasn't hit me until right now, I think. But we're
23:19
Speaker 12: just feeling absolutely grateful and super blessed.
23:24
Speaker 9: If I can't.
23:24
Speaker 10: You have six players on the alternament team, can you
23:28
Speaker 10: tell me what Aubrey Corbiez brings to the team. You know,
23:32
Speaker 10: he started those rallies early for you guys.
23:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's you know, he's talking about just just kind
23:39
Speaker 6: of cornerstones, you know. And you know Avery and Takucci,
23:44
Speaker 6: Kevin and and Dean Carpeteer and uh Andrew Lamb, these
23:50
Speaker 6: guys that they could have left, you know, they could
23:53
Speaker 6: have said a man, they got here when we had
23:55
Speaker 6: a field and and they chose to stay. And that's
24:00
Speaker 6: something that I'm grateful for. And it just tells you
24:03
Speaker 6: the quality of.
24:05
Speaker 9: Young men that they are there here.
24:06
Speaker 6: They've got two feet in. They said, I'm not going anywhere.
24:09
Speaker 6: I want to help build this program. And and then
24:12
Speaker 6: to see the success that they're not just Aby but
24:15
Speaker 6: all of them they've had.
24:17
Speaker 9: They're great leaders. They they lead by example. And Avery's
24:22
Speaker 9: got a great emotion.
24:23
Speaker 6: He plays an athletic game on defense as you can tell,
24:26
Speaker 6: like and still bases and so he's.
24:28
Speaker 9: A dynamic baseball player. But he brings more to this
24:32
Speaker 9: program than just baseball. He's he's a huge.
24:35
Speaker 15: Part of our success, right Travis with Ayden sends out
24:42
Speaker 15: for them Infesta Metrician. They've had in visions that in
24:45
Speaker 15: you sense that this could be a game for a
24:49
Speaker 15: big hit or or just getting into the bullpen.
24:52
Speaker 12: Uh, we like you all were able to kind of
24:54
Speaker 12: do we try and keep every game or like depending
25:00
Speaker 12: on who's on the mound or whatever the pitching the
25:02
Speaker 12: opposing pitching staff is going through, we kind of treat
25:06
Speaker 12: every app that and every game the same, put the
25:09
Speaker 12: same mentality that we're gonna push pushed you like that
25:12
Speaker 12: says we're gonna like to say like to say that
25:14
Speaker 12: we're gonna ride the bull, and whoever the bull is
25:17
Speaker 12: on the on the mound starting for them, we're gonna
25:19
Speaker 12: take advantage of of what he has and and and
25:22
Speaker 12: kind of have our own approach and plan and we
25:24
Speaker 12: execute you today. And but I don't think that we
25:28
Speaker 12: took a different approach based on what A and M.
25:32
Speaker 9: Had from coach last year.
25:35
Speaker 14: And John Savage said that you need to dominate in
25:38
Speaker 14: California between San Diego and Santa Barbara.
25:40
Speaker 9: So many of these kids are in that region.
25:42
Speaker 18: What goes into the recruited of all your guys and
25:44
Speaker 18: some development that's.
25:45
Speaker 6: Gonna yeah, I think it's uh, I understand what he's saying.
25:49
Speaker 9: That's that's that's that's accurate.
25:51
Speaker 6: You know a lot of young men are choosing to
25:55
Speaker 6: add different conferences, and I think that we want to
25:58
Speaker 6: keep Sun cow Boys home and show them that.
26:02
Speaker 9: Obviously coach Chaves is doing a great job. We feel
26:05
Speaker 9: like we're showing that.
26:06
Speaker 6: That you're come to us C, You're gonna get a
26:08
Speaker 6: chance to develop, You're gonna get a chance to get drafted.

26:30
Speaker 9: show people that that we're for real.
26:34
Speaker 6: That's a that's a it's been challenging, but I think
26:37
Speaker 6: that's been one of our goals when we first got here.
26:38
Speaker 9: It's like, hey, you can stay home. You don't have
26:41
Speaker 9: to leave the state. You can stay right in town

Speaker 4: Coach, thanks for joining.
33:05
Speaker 11: Me today, Yes, sat, thanks for having me on.
33:08
Speaker 19: Absolutely, congratulations on the playoff run. Your Panthers getting ready
33:13
Speaker 19: to take on the Ropes Eagles in the two A
33:15
Speaker 19: Division two state championship this Thursday. It's been a very
33:18
Speaker 19: successful season twenty eight and four overall coming out of
33:22
Speaker 19: you know, one of the tougher districts in the state. Iola,
33:26
Speaker 19: the other team from your district made it to the
33:30
Speaker 19: state championship in two A Division one.
33:32
Speaker 4: How much of an impact do you think.
33:33
Speaker 19: That tough district schedule had on your ability to go
33:37
Speaker 19: deep in the playoffs this year?
33:39
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'll tell you what we have. We have a
33:40
Speaker 11: couple of good teams in our district, you know, Mumford
33:42
Speaker 11: and Iola in there, and and that was our first
33:45
Speaker 11: goal for the year was to be district champs. And
33:48
Speaker 11: we haven't done that. I haven't done that as a
33:50
Speaker 11: head coach are in Barton in the last five years.
33:52
Speaker 11: So that was our first goal and we did that.
33:55
Speaker 11: We we got district champs. And then then we set
33:57
Speaker 11: a few extra goals and you know, one of them
34:00
Speaker 11: was to get the state championship, and we did that.
34:03
Speaker 11: And the boys are excited. Coach Taylor's excited, and uh,
34:07
Speaker 11: the community of Burton's really excited, and the community behind
34:11
Speaker 11: me has been great. Uh, couldn't ask for more. So, Yeah,
34:14
Speaker 11: the last last week or so, you know, we've been
34:17
Speaker 11: living on a high.
34:18
Speaker 19: So what have been some of the keys to uh
34:20
Speaker 19: success for your Panthers this year.
34:22
Speaker 11: The main thing I tell you guys is number one,
34:24
Speaker 11: we played as a team. Everything we break out on
34:25
Speaker 11: his team and and that's been a success, you know,
34:29
Speaker 11: no matter who's in the lineup. And of course playing defense,
34:33
Speaker 11: you know, and as far as that throwing strikes and
34:36
Speaker 11: you always tell the kids, you can't defend a walk,
34:38
Speaker 11: and uh, of course our last game, Tyler gave up
34:42
Speaker 11: three or four walks and then we struggled. And when
34:44
Speaker 11: we don't, we don't walk people. It's tough to defend that.
34:47
Speaker 11: So uh, and then the offense side of it, uh,
34:51
Speaker 11: you know, put pressure on their defense and uh, we
34:54
Speaker 11: run the bases. We're gonna we're gonna make you throw
34:56
Speaker 11: and catch the ball. So I think the kids bought
34:58
Speaker 11: into it, and it put a in a position to
35:01
Speaker 11: be where we're at.
35:02
Speaker 19: So you had a few key pieces come back from
35:04
Speaker 19: last year's team, a few kids that were first team
35:07
Speaker 19: All District. So how much of an impact did that make?
35:10
Speaker 19: Having those upperclassmen this year that have been around the
35:13
Speaker 19: program for so long.
35:15
Speaker 11: I'll tell you what you know. I returned to all
35:16
Speaker 11: of them except for one starter, and just the maturity
35:20
Speaker 11: of the kids. Not so much on the field, you know,
35:23
Speaker 11: the physical part of it, but the mentality of it.
35:26
Speaker 11: You know, the kids are more laid back. They know
35:28
Speaker 11: what to expect. I have a few other few young
35:31
Speaker 11: kids that stepped up in some roles, and I still
35:33
Speaker 11: have a young team. I think I have two senior starters,
35:36
Speaker 11: and so we're still young. Uh, we're young as the age,
35:41
Speaker 11: but we're you know, we're older as in playing the game.
35:44
Speaker 11: And so that that's big. They know me, they know
35:47
Speaker 11: what we're gonna do, and and a practice we can
35:49
Speaker 11: practice on different things and you know, pickoffs and other
35:52
Speaker 11: stuff like that. So yeah, that's big.
35:55
Speaker 19: So over the last few months here, you've only had
35:58
Speaker 19: two losses since district play has started. Lost one game
36:03
Speaker 19: to Iola back in March and then lost one game
36:06
Speaker 19: in the playoff series with Porter Ransas. How much have
36:09
Speaker 19: you been able to carry that momentum throughout the playoffs
36:12
Speaker 19: and how do you think gonna come into the state
36:13
Speaker 19: championship game.
36:14
Speaker 11: I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't I'm not
36:16
Speaker 11: a guy that reads tats. I don't read the stats
36:18
Speaker 11: of the averages. I don't. I didn't even know that
36:21
Speaker 11: till you told me that. You know, I know we've
36:22
Speaker 11: been on a win street, but I didn't. I know
36:24
Speaker 11: we lost a FastPort Rams, but I realized the last
36:26
Speaker 11: one was against Iola. I tried just to play baseball.
36:30
Speaker 11: These guys, we don't read into that stuff stats.
36:33
Speaker 9: You know.
36:34
Speaker 11: We play in the moment, and that's why I teach
36:36
Speaker 11: the kids.
36:37
Speaker 19: Burton is matched up with the Ropes Eagles in the
36:39
Speaker 19: two eight Division two state championship game. They've also had
36:42
Speaker 19: a really successful season over thirty wins.
36:45
Speaker 4: What do you expect to see from them?
36:46
Speaker 11: You know, to be honest with you, you know, they're
36:48
Speaker 11: they're a great team obviously to get in this far,
36:51
Speaker 11: and anybody who played in this round, they're gonna be good.
36:54
Speaker 11: I don't know much about them, and I really haven't
36:56
Speaker 11: done scouting all year long. And I tell the guys you,
36:59
Speaker 11: no matter who we played, we can play the New
37:00
Speaker 11: York Yanks, we can play Texas A and m Haggis.
37:03
Speaker 11: You know, we're gonna we're gonna, we're gonna put the
37:04
Speaker 11: pants and shoes on and we're gonna go play. We're
37:07
Speaker 11: gonna do us and and well, you know what happens
37:10
Speaker 11: in the seventh inning. You know we'll go from there.
37:13
Speaker 11: So I don't They're gonna be a good team. And uh,
37:17
Speaker 11: once again, we got to tow the ball. We gotta
37:18
Speaker 11: hit the ball, we gotta kich the ball. And that's
37:21
Speaker 11: what we're gonna try to do on Thursday at twelve o'clock.
37:23
Speaker 19: So I know you said you try to keep it,
37:25
Speaker 19: you know, one game at a time. But looking back
37:27
Speaker 19: at last year, another very successful season, going deep in
37:31
Speaker 19: the playoffs, but did come up short at the end, unfortunately,
37:35
Speaker 19: losing a two out of three to overten.
37:37
Speaker 4: How much pressure does that add for this year's team.
37:39
Speaker 11: Last week's game against Backville, that probably had the most
37:42
Speaker 11: pressure on me because it wasn't so much that I
37:45
Speaker 11: didn't think we could win it. I just wanted to
37:47
Speaker 11: get to the next I wanted to get to the
37:49
Speaker 11: state game for these kids, and they did it this week.
37:54
Speaker 11: It practice, it has been fun. It's been short, sweet,
37:57
Speaker 11: it's been hot, really hot. We sweating it right, sweating
38:01
Speaker 11: and drinking water, and but the kids, it's laid back
38:04
Speaker 11: and from here on out, it you know, it is
38:06
Speaker 11: what it is, and we're we're gonna live in a moment.
38:09
Speaker 11: We're gonna enjoy the scenier at Round Rock at Del
38:12
Speaker 11: Diamond and play on nice field and have good fans
38:16
Speaker 11: there and see what we put on a show for him.
38:20
Speaker 19: So the thing about the Texas high school baseball season
38:22
Speaker 19: is starts off in February, so it's a lot of
38:25
Speaker 19: times it can be thirty degrees when you're playing your
38:28
Speaker 19: first few games.
38:29
Speaker 4: And then you get to state championship.
38:30
Speaker 19: In June and you're playing at noon on a Thursday
38:33
Speaker 19: in Round Rock, so it could be upwards of ninety
38:36
Speaker 19: five one hundred degrees. So how do you manage that
38:40
Speaker 19: as a coach to keep your players fresh in those conditions.
38:44
Speaker 11: You know, it's funny you say that. You know, I
38:46
Speaker 11: don't like playing any cold weather. I will not practice
38:48
Speaker 11: in the gym when it's raining. We you know, the
38:51
Speaker 11: weather is a big factor.
38:54
Speaker 12: You know.
38:54
Speaker 11: We started last week, you know, practicing at eleven o'clock
38:58
Speaker 11: and I told the other day it's okay to sweat
39:01
Speaker 11: it out. You know, it's okay to sweat It's okay,
39:04
Speaker 11: You're gonna be fine. And we started that last week
39:07
Speaker 11: practice at eleven o'clock. And you know, like today, we
39:10
Speaker 11: had a great practice.
39:11
Speaker 14: Kids.
39:11
Speaker 11: We're having fun out there. You know, we got plenty
39:14
Speaker 11: of water and and uh, I think we'll be fine.
39:17
Speaker 19: Been looking at the forecast and it looks like there
39:19
Speaker 19: could be some rain possibilities. Do you know what the
39:21
Speaker 19: contingencies are for that?
39:23
Speaker 11: Yes, we had to zoom meeting with u IO and
39:25
Speaker 11: uh you know, they have a talk there and if
39:28
Speaker 11: we've got to if we have to have a rain delay,
39:30
Speaker 11: we'll push you back or if we have to move sites. Uh,
39:34
Speaker 11: we're they're prepared to do that. But we are going
39:37
Speaker 11: to play the game sometimes somehow, some ways. So and
39:41
Speaker 11: my kids are used to that because uh, you know,
39:43
Speaker 11: our field is is not the greatest and we're used
39:47
Speaker 11: to rain house or pushing things back or going playing
39:49
Speaker 11: somewhere else. So my kids just won't play baseball. And
39:52
Speaker 11: that's what I Baseball is about having fun, and that's
39:55
Speaker 11: why I try.
39:56
Speaker 6: To keep it up.
39:57
Speaker 19: All right, Coach, Well, I appreciate your time today. Good
39:59
Speaker 19: luck on Thursday, Hope.

46:48
Speaker 1: out because I haven't heard of any of these quarter finals.
46:55
Speaker 1: I've heard of one of them, and I don't know
46:58
Speaker 1: how to pronounce his Name's feel Agier. Ali is that close?
47:05
Speaker 24: Yeah, Felix, you can call him faa Felix az your
47:09
Speaker 24: Ali as.
47:11
Speaker 1: Okay, Ali asim Okay. He's the only one I've heard of.
47:16
Speaker 24: Well, you know, we don't have center and we don't
47:19
Speaker 24: have Algarez. I would tell you the new stars would
47:23
Speaker 24: be ood Are from Spain, who's playing Zveria right now,
47:28
Speaker 24: and then the real star could be Fonseca from Brazil.
47:32
Speaker 11: Uh.
47:32
Speaker 24: He hits the forehand consistently over one hundred miles an hour,
47:37
Speaker 24: and the Brazilian fans wherever he goes are nuts. So
47:44
Speaker 24: now I watched him play live in Miami. Uh, and
47:47
Speaker 24: that's obviously a given Brazilian fans in Miami. South American
47:52
Speaker 24: fans in Miami, they come, they come out, they support.
47:55
Speaker 24: But anywhere he goes, you see it. In Paris there
47:58
Speaker 24: are hundreds and thousands of Brazilian fans. So this guy
48:04
Speaker 24: is the chance to be a superstar. He could be
48:07
Speaker 24: like you're looking for your third third guy behind center
48:11
Speaker 24: and Alcarez and he could be that guy.
48:13
Speaker 1: How old is he?
48:16
Speaker 24: Nineteen?
48:16
Speaker 1: Okay?
48:17
Speaker 24: Okay, Hodar Holdar nineteen twenty. They both signed with Virginia
48:24
Speaker 24: and Hoddar made it for a years on second never
48:27
Speaker 24: made it to campus, turned pro. But these guys are young,
48:31
Speaker 24: talented and will be top five, top ten players for sure.
48:36
Speaker 1: Okay, So Alcarez we know missed. He's going to miss
48:41
Speaker 1: Wimbledon as well. How about long term? What do you
48:46
Speaker 1: think is going to happen with him?
48:48
Speaker 24: Well, I've always felt like they I mean, I mean, again,
48:53
Speaker 24: who are we to judge? I mean, these guys are
48:56
Speaker 24: superstars and they've got expert teams, but you know, I
48:59
Speaker 24: don't know that they're managing these schedules. Well, I mean,
49:02
Speaker 24: you know, you did see Federer was the master of
49:05
Speaker 24: the schedule and the body and the training and all
49:08
Speaker 24: that stuff. I mean, this guy's a Ferrari, not not
49:11
Speaker 24: a Ford pickup truck, you know, so for them to
49:15
Speaker 24: you know, I get it, you got to go to
49:16
Speaker 24: Barcelona after Monte Carlo. But I mean that was a
49:19
Speaker 24: quick turnover in some damp weather. Got the wrist, you know.
49:24
Speaker 24: I think he's got some longevity or these guys are
49:26
Speaker 24: gonna play at thirty seven like Djokovic and Nadal and Fedder.
49:29
Speaker 24: I don't think so. But look, he's still got a
49:33
Speaker 24: lot of winning to do. This is a this is
49:34
Speaker 24: a blip on the screen.
49:35
Speaker 1: Okay. And then center, who has just been dominant since
49:41
Speaker 1: Alcarez especially has been out. He wilted in the heat,
49:47
Speaker 1: I guess last week surprised.
49:50
Speaker 24: So no, he's redhead from the mountains of Italy, you know.
49:55
Speaker 6: You know.
49:55
Speaker 24: And again my knock on this one is is is
50:00
Speaker 24: you know scheduling. I mean, he plays in wins Monte Carlo,
50:03
Speaker 24: he plays in wins Madrid, he plays in wins Italy Rome,
50:07
Speaker 24: you know, and again he had to play Rome, it's Italian.
50:10
Speaker 24: But I almost feel like you drop out of Madrid,
50:13
Speaker 24: or you know, you got to pace it a little,
50:15
Speaker 24: because I felt like he came into the tournament tired.
50:17
Speaker 24: He obviously came in just massive favorite, like the biggest
50:20
Speaker 24: favorite since the Doll in twenty nine. And then again
50:25
Speaker 24: like I'm no expert, but you know, you got a
50:28
Speaker 24: guy that has troubled with the heat. He struggled in
50:30
Speaker 24: Australia on a hot day, and you don't go to
50:34
Speaker 24: the ice towel on the neck in the third set.
50:37
Speaker 24: You start with the ice towel and then the electro
50:41
Speaker 24: lights with water diluting it. Like I don't know, I'm
50:44
Speaker 24: not I'm not the expert here, but just some little
50:47
Speaker 24: things that I feel like, gosh, I mean, this is
50:50
Speaker 24: these guys are Ferraris right, They're they're they're there. You
50:54
Speaker 24: gotta make sure you're taking care of these things. But
50:56
Speaker 24: but shockingly enough with center, I mean cramp up to
51:00
Speaker 24: sets in five to one. I mean this wasn't like yeah,
51:03
Speaker 24: five all in the fit five hours in. I mean
51:05
Speaker 24: last night TFO played for like five hours and forty
51:09
Speaker 24: five minutes, and both those guys physically, I'm sure they retired,
51:14
Speaker 24: but they weren't cramping.
51:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, yeah yeah.
51:36
Speaker 20: The National Weather Service in League City has issued a
51:39
Speaker 20: severe thunderstorm warning for Central Trinity County in southeastern Texas,
51:44
Speaker 20: Houston County in southeastern Texas, northeastern Madison County in southeastern Texas,

52:28
Speaker 20: sighting entries. Locations intacted include Crockett, Bostonio, Apple Springs, Grapeland,
52:36
Speaker 20: Love Lady, Kennard, La, Texo, Wedges, Pennington, and Central Alia.
52:41
Speaker 20: For your protection, move to an interior room on the
52:44
Speaker 20: lowest floor of a.
52:45
Speaker 24: Building with keys going out and golf going out, and
52:58
Speaker 24: you know, losing some of the Americans. It's just been
53:00
Speaker 24: a little bit of a bummer, to be honest.
53:02
Speaker 1: So what's your reaction to Serena coming back?
53:09
Speaker 24: I mean again, Serena can do whatever she wants, you know,
53:13
Speaker 24: I mean it's interesting on you. On Sports Center today
53:15
Speaker 24: they have like the comeback the second act, Like they
53:19
Speaker 24: show Jordan and they show Brady and they show Phelps
53:23
Speaker 24: from the swimming and they show Serena and I'm like,
53:26
Speaker 24: oh wow, yea, and so we'll see. I mean, you know,
53:29
Speaker 24: obviously she's she's definitely got lost weight, got in shape,
53:34
Speaker 24: or you know, has worked on her fitness. But I mean,
53:36
Speaker 24: forty four years old being out, you know, the game
53:41
Speaker 24: is fast right now. So I don't know, I don't
53:43
Speaker 24: know what her total plan is with this. I mean,
53:45
Speaker 24: she's going to start with the dubs. Yeah, everybody's hearing
53:48
Speaker 24: that she's going to play some singles as well. So
53:51
Speaker 24: I mean clearly grass and hardcourt would be her best surfaces.
53:54
Speaker 24: But you know, again, she can do whatever she wants.
53:57
Speaker 24: She's going to fill stadiums and you know she is
54:00
Speaker 24: the goat.
54:01
Speaker 1: Okay, so you mentioned that she's forty four. I think
54:04
Speaker 1: it's been four years, Am I right about that since
54:07
Speaker 1: she last played?
54:08
Speaker 24: Yeah we were US Open twenty twenty two.
54:10
Speaker 1: Okay, four years since she last played. And you mentioned
54:16
Speaker 1: she's going to play some doubles, and you know, you
54:18
Speaker 1: can see that. But do you think she's forgotten how
54:22
Speaker 1: hard it is in four years and forgotten how fit
54:25
Speaker 1: these twenty year olds are she'll be playing.
54:30
Speaker 24: I mean, she's going to find out. I mean, you know,
54:33
Speaker 24: she's starting with the doubles. She's got a good partner.
54:35
Speaker 24: I mean, Boco's nine in the world. Yeah, so you
54:39
Speaker 24: know she's playing on grass. Yeah, so she's setting herself
54:42
Speaker 24: up and I mean again, I think she's obviously going
54:44
Speaker 24: to strategically put herself in the right situations. Yeah, but
54:47
Speaker 24: I mean yeah, I mean, you play singles on a
54:50
Speaker 24: hard court or whatever, I mean, and you play a
54:52
Speaker 24: twenty two year old, I mean it is. I mean,
54:55
Speaker 24: it's definitely a thing. I mean, we all know Serena's
54:58
Speaker 24: got a amazing serve and she can do some things.
55:01
Speaker 9: You know.
55:01
Speaker 24: I guess the question will be the movement.
55:03
Speaker 5: Yeah.
55:04
Speaker 24: You know, if you watched Serena play early in her career,
55:07
Speaker 24: her movement was was really unbelievable. I watched her documentary
55:10
Speaker 24: and it's just interesting to see the tape over the
55:13
Speaker 24: years and then obviously the feet that the movement slowed
55:16
Speaker 24: towards the end, and so maybe maybe that's where she
55:20
Speaker 24: can she's she's picked it up and perhaps gotten a
55:24
Speaker 24: step back, but we'll see. I mean again, she's gonna
55:28
Speaker 24: draw attention. It's it's it's good for the sport. And
55:33
Speaker 24: but you know, again what happens. I mean, can you
55:35
Speaker 24: stay healthy? It's tough. I mean, look at Djokovic at
55:39
Speaker 24: thirty seven. I mean he's struggling with these injuries and
55:42
Speaker 24: stuff too.
55:43
Speaker 1: You know, so I ask you this, every time we're together,
55:47
Speaker 1: is there American right now? We should be keeping our
55:50
Speaker 1: eye on.
55:54
Speaker 24: There's always a good there's always Americans to keep your
55:56
Speaker 24: eye on, you know, Chip. You know, I thought, shoot,
56:03
Speaker 24: you know, it was when Sinner went out, I was thinking, gosh,
56:06
Speaker 24: maybe maybe Shelton because he was in that bracket. And
56:10
Speaker 24: I know he's not you know, eighteen years old. He's
56:12
Speaker 24: twenty two.
56:13
Speaker 9: You know.
56:13
Speaker 24: I mean to me, he's got the most upside. But
56:16
Speaker 24: he's got to still work on his movement. His backhand's
56:19
Speaker 24: got to get a little better for a Grand Slam.
56:21
Speaker 24: He's amazing, he serves unbelievable.
56:23
Speaker 6: You know.
56:24
Speaker 24: TFO was the last man standing for the US last
56:26
Speaker 24: night and unfortunately let one slip. I was a total
56:30
Speaker 24: bummer for him up to two breaks on the fourth up,
56:34
Speaker 24: so that was a bummer, you know. But no, I
56:36
Speaker 24: mean this, this on the women's side, this Jo Jokic,
56:40
Speaker 24: She's unbelievable. This you know, she's eighteen, nineteen years old,
56:43
Speaker 24: she made the fourth round. I mean, I think, you know,
56:46
Speaker 24: obviously on the women's side, the US has had more
56:49
Speaker 24: champions lately. In terms of the men, I mean, I
56:53
Speaker 24: think we're going to have to lean on a Shelton,
56:55
Speaker 24: you know, to see what could happen in the next
56:58
Speaker 24: you know, two to four years.
57:00
Speaker 1: Scott Tribalay always gives us the info and I think
57:05
Speaker 1: we'll we'll talk soon.
57:08
Speaker 24: Yeah, give me a slot at the at the you
57:10
Speaker 24: know during Wimbledon. Yep, Yeah, we gotta, we gotta dial
57:13
Speaker 24: it in Wimbledon. Has they bought a they bought a
57:16
Speaker 24: golf course, No way. They're gonna go to seventy two courts,
57:20
Speaker 24: you know, from probably in the twenties and so they're
57:24
Speaker 24: gonna make half of it a park and half of
57:26
Speaker 24: it's going to be an expansion project. So these Grand
57:29
Speaker 24: Slams are just turning into mega, mega, mega events, and uh,
57:33
Speaker 24: you know, it's exciting. They're going to bring the qualifying onto,
57:36
Speaker 24: onto to the ground. And then also I'm sure the
57:39
Speaker 24: members will be able to play more during the year
57:42
Speaker 24: or in the summer. But uh anyway, let's let's definitely
57:46
Speaker 24: first two weeks of July, let's plan to have another,
57:49
Speaker 24: uh another chat.
